You lost to Brawly?! He's not even half as handsome as me! Time to train, Brat!

They came to a secluded beach and Ace waved his hand, "Come out, everyone." everyone else released their Pokemon too.

Max was dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes, "What's those Pokemon?!" Ace waved, "Play nice with the kid." the Pokemon nodded as Max climbed over all of them.

Genesect shook Max off and Hydrapple sniffed him, dousing him in Syrup. Dragapault pointed at Max and burst out laughing as Hydrapple raised his heads, laughing out loud.

Noivern laid on the sand and stretched, "Noi~!" before smacking his lips. Treecko walked over to Noivern and poked him, "Treecko?" Taillow next to him, shrugged, "Taillow?" Treecko looked at him with twitching lips.

It's obviously not a giant Taillow!

Noivern opened one eye and snorted, blowing Treecko and Taillow away, making them roll on the ground as he laughed. Treecko jumped up and shook a fist, "Treecko! Treecko-ko!" Taillow flew over and sat on Noivern's head, "Taillow."

Noivern: ??????

Torchic looked at Sirfetch'd, "Torchi?" Sirfetch'd looked at it with one eye, "Sir." Torchic tilted her head in confusion, "Torchiii?"

Wurmple crawled up Genesect slowly as Genesect shook it off. Wurmple looked at Genesect before climbing up again…

Ace scratched his head, "Oh boy…" he turned to the giant Crystal Onix and his eyes lit up, walking over, touching the Crystals. He hummed and picked up Onix, "This is the Crystal Onix, Brock?" Brock nodded and smiled, "Yeah. He's completely different from normal Onix! He doesn't take much damage from Water Attacks!"

Ace looked at the Onix and rubbed his chin, "Interesting! He's lighter than most Onix!" as he lifted Onix over his head.

Onix: ????????

May laughed nervously, "Is this a human? This isn't normal, okay?!"

Ace turned to Forretress, Lotad, Minior, and Lycanroc, asking, "Geodude and Steelix…?" Brock smiled and said, "I left them at the Gym for now. I might send back Lycanroc too." Ace nodded and looked at the Midnight Lycanroc, stroking his fur, "As always, Brock. Excellent Breeding!"

Brock rubbed his nose with a smile, "By the way, Mr Ace. This Crystal Onix…" Ace smiled, "He's yours." Brock was stunned and Ace chuckled, "I only wanted to see it. Now you have to be responsible for him, no?" Brock was speechless and smiled, "Yeah!"

Ace smiled and put Onix down, "Though, it may be an anomaly. If you manage to evolve him, it could be a huge buzz!" Brock scratched his cheek, "I don't want to be famous or anything… hehe…" as he started dreaming about all the Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys around him when he was famous…

Ace shook his head and turned away, looking at all the Pokemon. He rubbed his nose and thought to himself.

Ash did a classic and reset himself to Zero. May's Pokemon are… lackluster to say the least. Brock is the only one who brought Pokemon with him. 

As for Max, he was ignored!

Ace called over May, handing her two Pokemon Eggs, "Here, take care of these for me, May." May was stunned and Ace pushed her along, "Go, go. Ash! Come here." Ash ran over as Pikachu was controlling the scene.

Ash looked at Ace, "Yeah?" Ace handed him a Pokeball, "I happened to find a Pokemon, you should give it to Misty." May and Brock perked their ears up.

'Misty? Who's that?'

'Hm? Another scheme?'

Ash looked at the Pokeball, "Huh? Okay. I'll take a trip to the Pokemon Center." Ace nodded and smiled, "Don't tell her it's from me. I want you to say it's from you." Ash looked confused and Ace flicked his forehead, "If you tell her it's from me, then she won't accept it. But if you tell her you found a rare Pokemon for her, she will keep it, right?"

Ash was shocked and said, "Oh! That makes sense!" Ace added, "She'll be happy too, right?" Ash nodded, "Well, I think so. It's a Water Pokemon, Misty loves Water Pokemon. I'll be back." as he ran off.

Brock leaned over and whispered, "What Pokemon is that?" Ace opened his RotomPhone, showing Brock a Luvdisc.

Brock read the entry and sighed, "When will I get a Luvdisc?!" as he drew circles in the sand.

A while later, Ash returned while scratching his head.

Ace was directing the Pokemon to train as Ash asked, "Teacher, what Pokemon was that?" Ace smiled, "It's called Luvdisc." Ash looked confused, "Misty said that she was so happy she could cry and 'I can't wait until you come back, Ash.'" Brock burst into tears as May froze, "You gave her a Luvdisc?!"

Don't know why, she was very upset.

Ash nodded, "Huh? Yeah, why?" Ace laughed and pushed Ash forward, "Well, let's train, ahaha!" Ash forgot about it and smiled, "Yeah!" Ace looked back at May, "You have to work hard, May!"

May froze and covered her blushing cheeks, "W-What are you saying!? All of s-sudden!" Ace rolled his eyes and snickered, "Young love~" Brock collapsed…

Ace looked at him and curled his lips, "I heard… There was a girl… A FRONTIER BRAIN… who liked guys with spiky hair and squinty eyes." Brock materialized next to him, "Ahem! You said Squinty eyes?"

Ace chuckled and said, "Come on, let's train… Hehehe… May, come on over… We'll train your Pokemon together… HEHEHEHEH!" May shivered and walked over hesitatingly, muttering, "Idk, I always feel like Ace isn't a good person…" 

Max was flying around on Dragapault, laughing happily. He's actually lucky he couldn't fit in the Dreepy Bays otherwise… Team Rocket wouldn't be the only ones blasting off at the speed of light!!
