Ash's Secret

Looking at the house in front Ash nodded in satisfaction and turned his attention towards James who was acting as a tour guide.

"Boss, this house has 8 rooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 living rooms, and a huge dining area. There is also a spacious area behind the house where you can train your pokemon.

"I am satisfied with this house you did a good job, James. " Ash said patting James's shoulder.

Ash then took out his pokeballs that he just got back from the pokemon center and summoned all of his pokemon. A terrifying aura surrounded the area making those outsiders that were not welcome back off in fear.

Meowth who was beside Ash couldn't help but gulp seeing those savage-looking pokemon standing in front of him.

"Master, Is this the place where the Sinnoh League will take place?" Bayleef the only kind looking amongst the group asked.

Ash rubbed Bayleef's head and nodded, "That's right, you guys can go take a rest at the back of the house for the time being and make sure that those guys won't cause too much trouble."

Bayleef smiled and reassured Ash that everything will be under control with her around, they then made their way towards the back of the house with Bayleef leading in front of them.

James who was sweating at the side slowly approached Ash and asked, "Boss, how did you trained those monsters?"

Ash looked at James and replied, "That's a secret, but if you really want to know then you should be prepared to give your life to me."

James immediately backed off and shook both of his hands, "I was just joking Boss. I don't want to know anything."

Ash ignored James and entered the house leaving Meowth and James outside, the secret behind his pokemons monstrous growth was because of the necklace that Mew gave him. It nourished his body and the pokemons around him making them a lot stronger than the average pokemon.

He didn't exactly know the exact use or purpose of the necklace but base on what he had observed in the past 3 years is that the necklace gives him the power to control aura that only legendary pokemon has control over. he can also pass this aura to his pokemon making them have control over aura as well.

Upon entering the house Ash took a refreshing shower after he was done, he left his room with his pants on but was topless showing his well-toned muscles.

He then made his way towards the living room when he suddenly heard Jessie's voice coming from the front door.

"Boss! I am back! I also brought a huge surprise for you!"

Ash curious at her surprise walked towards the front door and saw 3 young ladies behind Jessie with a mature woman standing beside her.

"Mom?!" Ash exclaimed in surprise.

Delia giggled and approached her son, giving him a hug. she then studied her son and nodded in satisfaction, "Looks like my baby boy is not a baby anymore but a grown man."

Ash face palmed in embarrassment hearing his mother's words and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Delia didn't answer but pointed towards Jessie, "It was your assistant Jessie who found us, we also bought a lot of things from the stalls, and all those items we bought was paid using your money."

Ash was having a headache, he glared at Jessie making her flinch and unconsciously hide behind Delia's back blocking Ash's glare. he then glanced at the three young ladies and didn't know what to say.

Serena, Dawn, and May all had reddened faces and they were all facing downwards not even looking at Ash.

Seeing their reaction Ash shook his head and said towards James who just arrived, "James, bring my mom and the 3 ladies to the other living room and serve them some food."

After giving orders Ash excused himself and went back inside his room, 'Sigh, this Jessie really knows how to stir up trouble.' Ash thought and put on some shirt, he then exited his room and went towards the second living room where his mom was staying.

Upon arriving at the living room Ash saw his mother sitting on a single sofa with Jessie serving her tea while James was carrying food. The three ladies on the other hand were seated together on a large sofa clearly uncomfortable seeing how they were fidgeting.

"Ash, where are your manners? why aren't you talking to them?! they all came here just to see you again." Delia said clearly dissatisfied with Ash.

'Becoming strong is good but you should never disrespect your mother just because you have become a little stronger.' Ash thought, he always lives by this principle that is why he doesn't dare to disobey his mother knowing that she was just things less awkward.

Ash nodded his head albeit helplessly and sat on the sofa beside them, he studied their faces that were still faced down and silently praised seeing their beauty.

"So, long time no see how are you guys?" Ash asked the ladies.

Dawn and May didn't react while Serena steeled herself and raised her head making eye contact at Ash, her face reddened upon seeing Ash, and thought 'I didn't expect him to become so handsome.'

She then pinched her legs trying to remove those distracting thoughts and replied, "I've been well, how about you Ash? how was your training?" as soon as those words left her mouth Serena started regretting asking about his training when she clearly knew what happened.

But to her astonishment, Ash replied with a smile on his face not minding her question, "The training was great and I am satisfied with the results of our training."

Ash then stood up and asked, "Do you want to see my pokemon?"

Serena nodded her head clearly excited to see the pokemons that stayed by Ash's side and wanted to know how strong they are.

Ash then glanced at Dawn and May. seeing that they were still shy Ash approached them and held each of their hands and said, "Why are you acting so distant? come and join us I am sure my pokemons will be happy to see you guys."

Dawn and May froze when they felt Ash touching their hands, they looked up and saw his warm smile and sighed in relief seeing that he was still the same Ash they knew.

Ash then lead the 3 ladies towards the back of the house and initiating some conversation to make Dawn and May feel less awkward.

Delia smiled seeing this and took a sip of tea, Jessie and James stayed behind and accompanied Delia making her occupied with their talks while Meowth followed behind Ash's group.
