Chapter 56-57-58

Hey come and battle my garchomp"

"No"

"Come on, I even took some time off as a champion for you."

"No. Eat your food. It's tasty and nutritious."

"I'd I eat your food, I will eat too much and become fat."

"Don't worry. We can do that later"

Today is the last day she has with me but our banter was as strong as before but she respected me a lot more.

One hour later

"Hey do you think that the Regis are related by blood.?" Cynthia as a naturally curious person has been asking me a lot regarding the legendaries that fascinate her.

"Maybe, but that observation depends on the fact that they reproduce how modern humans or how modern pokemon. To me, Most legendaries are less of pokemon and more like a domain that has been specified. Like arceus isn't the creator of the universe. He is the living embodiment of creation so technically he had a hand in creating the universe."

"Yeah but that is your theory"

"Yeah and my books mention my theories and my explanation is the most logical ones and the ones who most scientists default to."

"but a theory is a theory, no matter how acclaimed it is"

"Yeah but Darwin's theory of evolution is still a theory yet it is regarded as a law and represented as an almost unbreakable standard. Plus laws have been broken before so while on more stable footing, a law is still in essence a solidified theory."

"You know sometimes I feel like a dumb bimbo near you, even with all the praise I receive"

" that's because you hang out with brain dead politicians, muscle heads, old people and unhelpful scientists on the payrolls of corrupt politicians. Plus a bibmo you may be not but beautiful you certainly are. Plus I am the youngest professor in history."

"Not yet"

" yeah but I am getting awarded the full professor title next month just after the hoenn league and it is confirmed."

The next day

I was walking though the gym while thinking about when beldum evolved into metang while training. It was pretty weird cause my pokemon usually evolve via battle or deus ex machina for Lucario. It actually makes sense why other people have such a hard time evolving their Pokemon as they aren't battle maniacs like me who's pokemon have reached their full racial capabilities before battling.

A fun thing we had was that she would and made me promise a match with garchomp. of course I declined her every time and she would try and convince me. The day she left, she just asked if I wanted to battle her garchomp and I accepted, of course I would like to battle her. I just wanted to play a bit with her.

I also nearly ran into a wall while thinking but I managed to salvage it so I don't look like a moron. I got a message from the league stating that Bruno wanted me to present in his gym a month after the hoenn league. So I don't have to worry about that for now. Currently I am wearing my fourth of 5 identical outfits. I have 5 identical ones and ten different pieces of clothing ranging from formal suits to sleepwear.

Anyways I entered the gym. For some reason, there was no secretary/receptionist or anyone in the beginning of the gym. It wasn't like the person wasn't present, there was no desk or anything in the entrance. There was only one door leading to what I would assume is to Winona.

I could hear a lot of chattering for some reason. There is something definitely wrong and I guess what it is already.

I walked into the gym with metang my side and pikachu on my shoulder, there was only one problem. Since I hadn't battled Winona yet and I was in this town, the reporters had basically started camping in the spectators seats. See whenever anyone registers for a league, then their league badges obtained are shown to the public on the leaderboard.

So the moment I walked in, the entire spectators row burst into action. Sigh. I saw Winona just chilling with her katariya when she turned to see me. I had studied her. By that I mean I looked her up on the pokenet. She normally uses a team of 4 with altairia as her ace.

"Let's have a fair fight. Don't mind the audience, they are legally allowed here." Her voice was smooth and she was pretty hot. I could easily see why she had smitten a lot of the male population along with Cynthia.

"Metang us-"

Before I could finish my order. A man burst into the room. He had a red hat and a Pikachu on my shoulder and an outfit extremely similar to me just switch the backs in my outfit with red, holy. This was red. His Pikachu was extremely powerful and his aura was practically bursting from him.

"I need to talk to you. Son"

Before I could even speak, I realized that this is not red but an aura projection. It didn't even cross my mind as a possibility due to the sheer amount of control and pure power needed would be beyond even me but when I looked close enough, sure enough it was an aura projection.

That also explained Why nobody else reacted to the voice of the missing champion who hasn't been seen for 20 years. The greatest trainer of all time and destroyer of leagues.

I didn't react outwardly but in the confines of my mind, the trains of thought had overwhelmed my entire consciousness and I was basically going with my instincts.

"What happened ash, why are you not ordering metang?" Winona's worried voice cut through my thoughts.

"Nothing. Metang, independent battle. I will step in if you are having trouble."

"Isn't that looking down on me too much? I am seriously offended" her voice was obviously joking but the underlying question was pretty easy to understand.

'Why am I not taking her seriously?'

"This is a great training opportunity for metang."

"Sigh go skarmony"

Metang started with physical attacks and used his psychic attacks as support and distractions and misdirections but I couldn't focus on that. I sent a aura message to the aura projection standing just behind of me. I sent him a message without turning around.

'I have no father. I only have a mother and a little sis. My father died the day he left his wife to herself in a small town after knocking her up. Leave before I come to you and make sure you that you can't sire anymore children.'

There was no pressure, no anger, no intimidating aura just a cold face of indifference and a aura with no movement. Normally people have a unique aura which changes a tiny bit every moment however I had basically stopped that and it was unnerving at best and down right terrifying silent at worst.

My mask greatly disturbed Winona and she had started sweating. Her thoughts were along the lines of

'What is he doing, does he have some sort of plan. Does he want me to do something. Is he pressuring me or does not even care? My head hurts what should I do.'

If only Winona knew that her mental breakdown was unnoticed and given no fucks by the near 11 year old boy standing in front of her.

In the middle of her labyrinth of thoughts and emotions, her skarmony was knocked out of the field before she could supply any commands to the metal bird,

.

It was at this moment that ash realized that he was creeping Winona out with his mask so he turned back to normal game face.

Seeing this made Winona even more confused then before. Her mind was a wreck and her mental break down was even further intensified.

'The hell is he doing. Is he happy, his presence just changed. What is happening. Why can't I think properly, I nee-'

"Gym leader Winona, please send out your next pokemon"

The voice of the referee broke her out of her trance but caused her to stumble even more, causing her to think even more negative thoughts causing her to stumble even more. Winona was trapped in this vicious negative feedback loop of mentally epic proportions, while the 10 year old opponent was to busy thinking about red to give a fuck.

'It is urgent. Pleas understand I didn't have a choice regarding Delia. I risked everything but I failed and I didn't want her to be dragged into it.' reds voice... thoughts? Were projected into my mind.

'I will come to you for this important matter, just be warned. I don't give enough of a fuck to hate you but I will drag you and your Pikachu by your balls to Delia and I will keep you there until you tell her exactly why you left and apologize. To me, You aren't my father, you are a nobody in the crowd. I have no admiration neither hate.

If you died In a ditch the next day, I wouldn't be happy neither sad. I would simply see you as a statistic on a screen. You mean nothing to me. I don't know what sort of relationship you wanted but I simply don't care.

I will meet you after the hoenn league. I have a match with Bruno, a date with a girl, a challenge with a champion and a lot of other things. I have a life outside of my strength and I have my mom to thank for that. Is that okay.'

'Fine b-'

Before he could finish his reply, I dissipated his avatar here. Normally I wouldn't be able to such a thing but he was very far from here and his aura projection was slowly weakening plus I caught him off guard.

Now onto the match.

Metang had a few bruises and a lot of scratched but he had just won against Winona's third pokemon. He looked normal but I could see that he was very tired but Winona only had one pokemon left. Winona threw out her pokeball and out came a majestic Altaira. She had combed fur and a majestic aura but it looked cute as well.

"Metang, final battle. We are finishing this early. I have a important call to make. Shinra tenesi."

Winona was practically unresponsive and lost in her thoughts at my command.

'What is a shinra tenesi, why did he not command metang until now. How can I stop him? Hell can he even be stopped? And the hell is his aura different again? The fuck is going on? Where am I? What am I even doing with my life? Am I a failure of life? Am I destined to fail? What is wrong with the universe? Am I a piece of cosmic dust? What does my life amount to in the grand scheme of the universe?'

Metang was covered in a massive glow before the ground immediately turned into a concave lens of extreme angles and a massive wall of dust literally caused the reporters to fall onto to their ass. Altaria was thrown into the wall with a massive crater.

After all the carnage was over, I looked at Winona and saw a blank look in her eyes.

'Why are you having a mental break down? I just beat you well whatever.'

I walked over to her and put my hand into her pocket and taking the badge she had prepared incase she lost.

I whispered into her ears.

"Better luck next time."

Before walking off.

The next day

Well I beat Winona yesterday but currently I am on an important call inside a farm.

"Hello Bruno, are you in conference with Agatha?" My voice was smooth and emotionless.

"Yes why do you ask?" Bruno sounded surprised but he got his bearings pretty quickly.

"Well could you pass the phone to her? I have something important to tell her"

"Sure. Agatha for you from Ash"

"Hello Ash. Why did you call me?"

"An old man is feeling really lonely. The key for the lock is on the 3 tree. Latitude: 35.728798. Longitude: 139.7192465 Current location."

"Really? Thank, that man has been avoiding me for too long."

I cut the call after talking pleasantries with her. Now why did I give the coordinates of professor Oak to Agatha? Well he gave me a chore. It is not even from birch or someone but him. I have one more badge to go and only a month left. He asked me to get rid of a rampaging snorlax in his berry farm.

Well anyways Torchic and Gaia have reached their max power extremely quickly thanks to the gravity training and extreme determination. For Torchic, charizards extreme daily training inspired her while Gaia was inspired by garchomp's ridiculous training regiment. Ava the snover had also reached her racial limit and she has perfect control over her ice but I believe her control over grass isn't that strong.

Torchic is a close waiters fighter who uses fire moves to enhance her speed, attack and special attack. Gaia is a slow tank with massive range atttacks. I was thinking about allowing Gaia, Ava, Torchic and Metang to fight together as a team against snorlax.

I am standing in a field with my four Hoenn pokemon standing besides me. Torchic on my shoulder with metang roaring by my side, Ava standing next to me and Gaia standing a bit ahead of me. We were waiting for the snorlax to appear cause from out interrogations, snaorlax appears everyday on this specific time frame.

A beam appeared from a point in the ground which traveled all the way too the sky and when I Concentrated on the origin to find an angry snorlax barreling down the field.

"Guys ready. Metang slow attacks and trip him with psychic, Ava freeze the ground and his legs, Gaia throw rocks at him, aim for the eye, Torchic blaze hit and run."

It took less than a minute for the rampaging snorlax reach us. The battle had begun.

Immediately when snorlax was about to take a step, his foot was covered in a blue energy before twisted and he fell onto his the ground face first. Before he could get up, the entire ground was turned into mud and some of it got into his eyes, blinding him temporarily. Snorlax slowly got up just as his feet was frozen to the muddy waters. Before it could respond, an large chunk of eye hit his left eye and a balze kick hit his right eyelid casing him to go into a berserker mode.

Torchic sped up straight back to snorlax again and launched a smokescreen in his face before running and jumping all around snorlax, causing a few after images to form. Normally a snorlax could easily tell which after image is which by eyes shut this one was blinded. Snorlax was hit by a blaze kick to the back of the knee and and a close combat to the back.

Snorlax had neigh of all of these pests and it used a massive earthquake causing Torchic to be launched into a tree. Torchic eyes blazed and it was enveloped in a bright white light and it turned into a Combusken with blaze still active. Gaia launched rock shards along with Ava straight at snorlax to distract it enough for combusken to get back up.

Combusken immediately launched herself at snorlax with a blaze kick and a close combat mixed with fire fist. It hit snorlax and caused to slide a few meters back but snorlax managed to launch combusken into a tree with a Head butt. Snorlax was hit bu a stone hedge straight into another tree causing it to become enraged beyond measure,

Snorlax eyes started glowing red and a massive beam formed in his mouth before being fired straight at Metang. As the beam approached Metang, a ice wall formed in front of him before it was covered in earth to creat an ice-earth barrier. The beam met the overpowered beam and broke apart, sacrificing itself to slow the beam down and give enough time for Metang to dodge the beam by a few inches.

Metang immediately took to the stratosphere while snorlax was still in a blind frenzy when he was hit by a sleep powder from Ava

Now normally snorlaxs are immune to sleep powder cause they sleep so much already, and this was true for this snorlax as well. But I learned one thing while training with Ava. Status effect spores are extremely flammable and combustive under the right circumstances.

A blaze kick to the face of the snorlax caused a massive explosion enough to push back the snorlax back into the mud. Snorlaxs sides were covered in hard rocks on one side with the other side being frozen to the ground. After nearly 2 seconds, a Metang flying straight down at 90 degreees perpendicular to a snorlax appeared from the stratosphere.

It's eyes were still damaged to the point where it couldn't see Metang but it took only a second for to reach snorlax at Mach speed. The collision caused a massive displacement in the ground while creating a literal wall of dust.

A second later, the dust cleared and Metang and snorlax stood both fainted inside a massive crater. They had taken each other out while Metang couldn't handle the recoil of what is essentially brave bird. I called back Metang and I looked towards my team and said,

"Well you guys won. No training for all of tomorrow with your favorite food. One day of pampering then we get back on track, understood?"

"Combusken"

"Sno,snover"

Good they sound pretty happy.
