Kanto - Indigo League

Jessilina, "Frillish Whirlpool."

Ash, "Counter with hidden power!"

Announcer, "And the second battle started with a bang."

Whirlpool and hidden power mixed in together and formed a swirling vortex of water and shiny light balls. Banette snapped his fingers and the hidden power blew up causing the water from whirlpool to burst and fall like rain on them.

Announcer, "If this was a contest, that would have won you points."

Ash snorted, "Shadow sneak!"

Jessilina, "Rain dance increase your strength."

Ash, "Curse!"

Jessilina, "Brine!"

Brine hit Banette making him hiss while curse hit Frillish irritating him a lot. Although he was part ghost, his water side was still affected by the curse move.

Jessilina, "Frillish use brine!"

Ash, "Torment!"

Frillish tried to use brine again but was unable to due to the move torment. He glowered at the ghost type before shooting water gun at him. Banette simply used shadow sneak to escape and laugh at him.

Jessilina grumbled, "I forgot you always train your Pokemon to avoid attacks first."

Ash grinned, "Attacks no matter how powerful are useless if they don't hit the target."

Jessilina, "Well then, Frillish get in close to Banette."

Ash, "Watch out for those tentacles... That sounds so wrong for some reason...."

Banette was wary as the ghost fish got closer but not close enough to grab. Ghost pokemon were cunning after all, they may look innocent but they were not. Many were terrified of them for a reason, if the ghost Pokemon had a lot of resentment they could kill you. If they didn't have any resentment the worst they would do was scare to till you faint.

Jessilina, "Absorb!"

Frillish moved at Banette at high speed making Banette jump back many times while scowling.

Ash, "Screech!"

Banette jumped again before open his mouth and releasing an ear piercing screech. The screech was supported by the dark energy inside him which made it more dangerous than normal. Frillish despite being a ghost type trembled under the double strength of the attack.

Agatha, "Smart!"

Gengar nodded, "Gengar!"

Lorelei, "Of course! Banette can directly attack using his internal energy from the mouth."

Yellow, "They are not forming the bond despite the fact I can feel it trying to."

Agatha, "Calm down! Ghost are different from other Pokemon. You need to acknowledge it first. In order for the bond to form, if at all. I recon it's that way because ghost Pokemon are essentially dead already."

Yellow nodded slowly, "You know more about Ghost Pokemon then I do so I'll agree but, just to be on the safe side."

Agatha, "Indeed there is no such thing as too much precaution."

Jessilina, "Destiny bond!"

Ash, "Banette shadow sneak followed by hyperbeam."

Jessilina, "Don't let up till you get him."

Frillish kept the destiny bond active as Banette moved around the fish ghost Pokemon. Banette came out from the right and shot a hyper beam towards Frillish only for Frillish to get him. The hyper beam hit Frillish knocking him out and thanks to destiny bond, Banette was knocked out too.

Announcer, "And we have a double knock out, folks. Ash is leading by three Pokemon who are not knocked out yet. Choose your next Pokemon."

Jessilina, "Return Frillish, thank you."

Ash, "Return Banette, rest up."

Jessilina, "Let's go my handsome Roserade!"

Ash, "I choose you, Togekiss."

Misty, "Togekiss is back!"

Gou, "As a flying type Ash has the advantage."

Ritchie, "As a poison type Jessilina has the advantage."

Paul, "Means they are pretty even when it comes to type advantage."

Misty nodded, "It'll be a very close match."

Jessilina, "Grassy terrain."

Ash, "Extreme speed!"

Togekiss moved around the battlefield that glowed a light green as he circled hid opponent. Roserade was very calm as he observed his opponent waiting for the other to attack, which he did. Togekiss used magical leaf while Roserade used petal blizzard to retaliate the attack.

Ash, "Solar beam!"

Jessilina, "Solar beam!"

Announcer, "Oh my! Both sides called out the same attack. Wonder who is stronger?"

Yellow, "Huh! I didn't expect Ash to teach Togekiss solar beam. That's a hard move."

Red, "He didn't."

Lance, "What?"

Red, "He didn't teach Togekiss, that was Venasaur."

Lorelei, "I know Surge adviced him to let the older Pokemon teach the younger one. I didn't realize he followed that advice that far."

Red, "He watches over them as they train and teach each other new moves. It's a good bonding experience."

Bruno, "Hmm... No wonder Surge is interested."

Surge, "Humph!"

On the battlefield the two Pokemon were at a standstill, their solar beams had collided and burst into an explosion. Togekiss had flown up to avoid the blast while Roserade covered himself in vines.

Jessilina, "Sunny day."

Ash, "Mystical fire."

Jessilina, "Weather ball!"

Togekiss shot mystical fire at Roserade as he shot hyperbeam at him. The two attacks collided but thanks to sunny day the mystical fire came out stronger. Jessilina winced at her little mistake, but it was not possible to cancel a status affecting move like an attack or defense move.

Jessilina, "Full power weather ball."

Roserade flinched at the fire which was getting closer to him but nodded and focused on applying full power on the attack. Ash nodded at Togekiss who also went all out and thanks to sunny day still in effect his. mystical fire burst brighter. Roserade however didn't give up and pushed against the flames, it was a testament to his tenacity and the training he went through to stand against heat. The battle soon ended with another explosion that blew the dust everywhere.

Announcer, "Roserade is unable to battle, Togekiss is the winner."

Ash, "That was close. Ah! Togekiss!"

Togekiss, "Ge ge."

Ash, "Get some rest bud, if I need you I'll call you."

Beedrill came out at that moment, "Bzzzz!"

Ash, "You want to fight? You sure?"

Beedrill nodded and flew to the field and took her stance, "Bzzzz!"

Jessilina, "Heh! A real battle maniac, aren't ya? Alright then, Arbok, time to shine."

Arbok, "Arbokkk bokkk bokkk."

Announcer, "Begin!"

Jessilina, "Agility!"

Ash, "Agility avoid the tail."

Beedrill flew fast avoiding the snake tail that glowed purple with poison, or rather poison tail. From the looks of it, it was very powerful and Beedrill could smell the poison coming from it. She used twin needles to retaliate everytime the poison tail came closer.

Jessilina, "Glare!"

Arbok glared at Beedrill making her freeze on the spot before attacking her with poison tail that knocked her out.

Announcer, "Beedrill is unable to battle, Arbok wins the match."

Ash, "Return Beedrill, thanks girl, now then I choose you Togekiss."

Announcer, "Begin!"

Ash, "Fairy wind!"

Jessilina, "Dig followed by screech!"

Arbok dug into the ground to dodge the attack and moved around before coming out and using screech. Togekiss who was expecting the attack moved but his wing was hit making him hiss.

Ash, "Sunny day!"

Jessilina, "Sucker punch!"

Togekiss flew higher as he used sunny day and Arbok attacked using sucker punch. Just as he was about to hit Togekiss fired solar beam and the sucker punch hit Togekiss. The two Pokemon hissed as they were hit by the attacks and separated and winced. Arbok from the burns and Togekiss could feel his body swelling from the punch.

Jessilina winced at the smell, "Arbok, rest!"

Ash, "Life dew!"

Both Pokemon used their respective moves to heal the wounds while the audience watched and discussed. Arbok and Togekiss attacked each other again without any prompting after getting healed.

"Oh Mew! I could smell the burned skin from here."

"Yeah, it looks bad but look at them go."

"They truly are battle monsters, aren't they?"

"Right? The trainers didn't even call out an attack."

"Guess that's what makes top battlers different. Both the trainer and Pokemon are fighting nuts."

Serena, "Togekiss doesn't look so well."

Staryu, "Yu!"

Calem, "That's because he probably focused on healing the internal injuries, not the external."

Grace nodded, "That's expected in a battle."

Ash, "Aura sphere!"

Jessilina, "Dark pulse!"

The two Pokemon attacked at the same time at very close range hitting the other. Arbok got up and shook his head after a bit, Togekiss however remained down.

Announcer, "Togekiss is unable to battle, Arbok wins the match. Both sides are down to their last Pokemon."

Ash, "Okay then, your turn Muk."

Arbok looked at the sludge Pokemon with irritation, "Bokkk bokkk."

Announcer, "Begin!"

Jessilina, "Iron tail."

Ash, "Moonblast!"

Arbok hissed as the moonblast irritated his body in places he was burned the most. He glared at Muk when he realised the iron tail didn't affect him.

Jessilina, "Dragon tail."

Ash, "Thunder punch!"

The dragon tail and thunder crackled as the two Pokemon fought. Dragon aura and electric energy flew around them.

Ash gave a grin, "Got you. Body slam."

Muk gave a shit eating grin which had Arbok on the edge as he backed off. Muk however went after him knowing he won't be able to use any attack for a while. Next thing anyone knew Muk was on top of Arbok while Arbok was spewing curses at him. Lucario gave a sweatdrop as he covered Phantump's ears so the young one did not pick up the language from the poison type.

Announcer, "Uhhhh.... Ahem! Arbok is unable to battle. Muk wins the match."

Ash jumped and ran to hug Muk, "You were awesooooo... "

Muk had hugged him, "Muk Muk!"

Ash's muffled voice could be heard, "I love you too buddy. Can't breathe bud."

Muk got off as Arbok came too, "Muk."

Jessilina rubbed Arbok's scale, "That was fun."

Arbok humped, "Arrr bokkk bokkk."

Ash, "We should battle again, Jess."

Jessilina grinned, "Definitely. Let's get out of here first though."

Ash, "Yeah."

Yellow met up with them as they entered the centre, "Ash! Come here after you give your Pokemon to Nurse Joy."

Ash blinked, "Sure!"

Ash, looked at Lucario, "Want to come?"

Lucario nodded, -Yes.-

Yellow led them to another room and gestured for Ash to seat, "How are you feeling?"

Ash, "I'm feeling okay. I was not the one hurt."

Yellow frowned, "You didn't feel anything while battling?"

Ash blinked in confusion, "Like what?"

Yellow sighed, "Togekiss was pulling on your aura at one point. You didn't feel that?"

Lucario tilted his head, -I think she's right but I don't think Togekiss realized it.... And neither did you Meema.-

Ash, "Ah! So now what?"

Yellow, "Well, I would give you a band that keeps aura from being used."

Ash, "I hear a but there."

Yellow rubbed her head, "But are still healing from the last over usage and giving you one now will send you into shock instead."

Ash frowned, "That's... How though? Why?"

Yellow, "Your aura is currently working on stabilizing which means it's very active right now. If we gave you the band which suppresses aura, we might end up setting your healing back by months. So we are going to try something with you, Lucario, Charizard and Milotic."

Ash, "I'll call the lab for them... Well Charizard is already here, Milotic is at the lab."

Yellow chuckled at that, they had all seem Charizard lurking around where Ash stayed keeping an eye on him. Lance had laughed on noticing that and commented that despite choosing Fire over Dragon, the Charizard line still retained draconic instincts. It was one of the reason Charizard trainers were very rare in the world, only twenty were officially registered in the entire trainer's community.

Ash, "I'm back. Charizard's here and I got Milotic's pokeball too."

.

Yellow, "Call her out and we'll begin."

Milotic trilled, -Ash!-

Ash laughed, "Hiya Milotic! Looking good."

Milotic preened, -Im always looking good.-

Charizard grunted, -Zurrrre!-

Ash blinked, "Charizard?"

Yellow, "Was that... "

Lucario, -Aura speak?-

Charizard nodded bit didn't answer again opting to nuzzle Ash's neck instead making him giggle.

Yellow shook her head, "I don't know why I'm even surprised at this point. You are literally leaking aura and we need to get it under control. Riley and I may have covered you in our aura but I can notice it's fading and... "

Ash mumbled, "We don't want Team Rocket realizing about me."

Yellow nodded and motioned for him, Lucario, Charizard and Milotic to seat in a circle around Ash and instructed them to focus on their auras. She then instructed the three Pokemon who were aura bonded with Ash to bring their aura out and use it to supplement his aura channels. Ash felt Lucario's aura first, strong, steely and calm entering his aura channels before feeling Milotic's aura which was calm, cool and had a hint of the oceanic taste on his tongue and lastly was Charizard's aura from the back which felt like warm fire and soot with a hint of wild energy floating around. Ash couldn't help but nod to sleep being sure by his Pokemon and feeling safe and secure. Yellow nodded to them and allowed them to rest in the room before giving Brock a call and instructing him to bring the rest of Ash's Pokemon to the room he was currently reading in.

[A. N.: Okay! After talking to a few, friends I have decided to add a "Trigger Warning" to the book. Just to be safe and to make sure this book doesn't get flagged.
