3 1/2 Hours later
I walked into the conference room with Pikachu on my shoulder and my usual attire. I looked inside and saw some one who looked like May, Wally, Steven stone's younger copy, Gary oak, Green, the brat I escorted Amora was her name, A random dude with spiky brown hair and finally a light brown haired formally dressed boy.
What the hell is Amora, Gary, May look alike and Green doing here?
Amora was dropped off by me almost 3 months ago. Gary was still at the 7th badge the last time I checked and I asked professor oak yesterday. May is still 8 so this girl is most likely a sister or cousin to May. Also why green she was at the 5th badge the last time I asked oak, which was 3 weeks ago.
It took less than a second for me too scan and evaluate everyone in the room and draw up a few questions but by now the others had noticed me. Gary's fists clenched and I could see a few veins on his head while green was blushing like a tomato. The others didn't react to me beyond surprise, happiness and admiration.
I turned my gaze to the wall parallel to the one I entered to and spoke the words.
"Steven, come out already, I don't have all day, neither do you." My tone was disinterested and annoyed.
The wall started to slide up and a figure was revealed to be standing there. He had white-grayish hair and a finger ring which stood out as it was pure white and looked like silver.
"Straight to the point Ash. I guess you are right. We have called you here as you are the best trainers from your regions and we have a common agenda to take down team rocket. You all are going to be instrumental to their defeat, you shall be remembered for you services and we shall disclose your braver-"
"Cut the crap stone. We know that this ain't a suicide mission, even if it was, we would only be a footnote in history who students complained about learning."
That was surprisingly not from me but from the spiky brown hair kid. He seemed fed up about all of this and rightfully so.
"Tyson! Don't be so disrespectful to the champion! You should pay him respect, he is the greatest Pokémon trainer in the entire regio-"
This time I interfered cause I didn't agree.
"Respect is earned, not given and he isn't the greatest trainer in the region, he is the strongest one willing to be burdened by the post and its political implications. Isn't that right Steven, you remember don't you. Also are you his son, a failed cloning experiment, Past version of him or a super fan taken to the extreme."
Steven sighed before he replied.
"You are right ash, I remember. Also the last choice is correct. For better or for worse" he whispered the last sentence but we could hear it.
"I am really happy to be here but why am I here? I only have 4 badges" Amora spoke up from behind me. 4 badges in 4 months wasn't that bad.
"Amora, you are on pace for the fastest completion of the gym circuit. That is if you ignore here. We are gathering the trainers with the most potential as recruits and you are the face of the next generation and the future. I hope you help in taking down the evil empire of team rocket. They are plaguing both Kanto and Johto along with Hoenn simultaneously.
Let me introduce everyone here"
He pointed to May lookalike and started talking
"She is the first daughter of the gym leader Norman, her name is Macy. She is an fairy type specialist and she has beaten the entire gym circuit but ash yet to compete in the championship."
He then pointed to Steven stone copy
"He is Steve, a massive super fan of me. He uses steel type pokemon and he is currently on his 7th gym."
He pointed to Tyson, the boy who spoke out against Steven
"He is Tyson, last years championship runner up as second place. He doesn't specialize in any type but he has competed in the gym circuit for 3 full years."
He then pointed to Amora
"This is Amora, she is on pace for breaking the fastest completion of the Hoenn gym circuit along with someone else. She uses a wide variety of pokemon, but here aces are a Pikachu and a Swellow"
He then pointed to Wally
"This is Wally, he is a psychic type specialist and on his 5th gym even though he started 5 months ago. His ace is his Gallade."
He pointed to the formally dressed boy with brown hair
"He is Jon Dickson, top graduate form the pokemon school. He came 24th in his first attempt at the tournament and his ace is his Rhyperior."
He pointed to Green.
"She is Green, One of professor oaks sponsored children. She is a grass type specialist Wyandotte's is on her 6th badge. Her ace is her Venausar."
He then pointed to Gary Oak.
"He is Gary oak, grandson of professor oak and one of his sponsored trainers. He uses a wide variety of Pokémon with blastoise as his ace and he is on his 6th and final badge."
He finally pointed to me.
"He is Ash Ketchum, One or profesor oaks sponsored trainers, bestseller book author, Evil teams destroyer, Double region registerer, Pokémon abuser arrester, All round Powerhouse, Part time teacher, youngest professor of all time, gym sweeper, Circuit speed runner, physical Brawler, martial artist and many more titles.
He is an all rounded star player with more than 12 Pokémon on person, His strongest Pokémon are his champion level Charizard and garchomp along with a massive pidgeot, A 10 meter tall gyarados, a Pikachu capable of causing thunderstorms, a Lucario powerful enough to be an aura masters companion. He is currently on his 16th and final badge and he started 4 months ago.
But I guess that they left aura master out from your file, didn't they Ash."
I simply smiled and my glowed for a second.
Amora raised her hand along with Steve, the Steven clone.
"What is an aura master?"
Steven looked towards the rest of the room almost like a teacher looking for a student to answer a dumb question from another student. When nobody had any clue, he sighed in disappointment.
"Anybody? Really! You guys don't know what an aura master is?"
"Let it be Steven, if any body from Unova would be here then they would have known. Anyways for those of you who don't know, an aura master I one who can manipulate aura to an extreme degree."
"What is so special about this aura? Also how do you know you are a master? Can anyone become an aura master? When did you discover."
"You haven't changed at all Amora.
Aura is the life force and energy used by all pokemon. All attacks start in pure aura before they are converted into elemental aura.
There are certain thresholds for becoming a master such as having an aura bind with a aura pokemon or creating an aura sphere or projection.
Only those who are born with this talent can sense aura let alone manipulate it. It is impossible to gain the baki ty to use aura without being born with it. Any form of 'aura transferring' Is just awakening dormant bloodline of aura masters.
I have had this power since birth and I don't remember not having it.
Aura is serious business and it cannot leave this room no matter what happens. Steven stone, if this piece of information leaves this room, any and all future cooperation shall be called off, no exceptions. I don't care how or why but if it reaches the public from you, this group of people then consider our alliance terminated.
Thousands of people will try and kill me, research me or manipulate me that doesn't matter much to me, but if they can't get me directly, they will take to my family and if that happens I hope your gods can save you, take this as a threat or a warning."
Towards the end of my speech, my aura had become much much heavier and the others in the room were on their knees and even Steven was having a bit of trouble standing. All of a sudden, the pressure evaporated like it wasn't there in the first place, leaving a bunch of sweat covered children under 15 and a very worried regional champion.
I walked over and sat on the chair opposite to Stevens, it was probably for me anyways as it was more decorated than the others.
"Enough banter let's get onto the meat of the situation, Th-"
Gary was practically bleeding from his hand because it was clenched so hard. His eyes held a fire in them and he shouted
"You, you think that I will listen to you, you are always ahead of me. I.. I challenge you to a fight."
Hearing this, Tyson also got up and asked,
"Yeah, I respect you but I wanna challenge you to a match."
Jon Dickson, the pokemon school graduate, asked as well.
"I want a fight against you as well. To see if you are worthy of being a leader."
Mays big sis, Macy? I think was her name, also said.
"Yeah, dad said that the strongest should be the alpha of the pack."
Before it hit out of hand Steven intervened.
"I shall take your words as a warning but don't think for a second the league is subservient to you. Also why don't all of you fight against ash for the title of leader"
"Steven, that will take to long, how about they fight against my pokemon In a free for all."
Hearing this Gary, Tyson, Dicky boy(Jon Dickson) and Macy narrowed their eyes and basically were screaming that I was being too arrogant.
Green raised her hands,
"Yes?" Steven replied gently to the girl.
"I don't wanna fight, why can't we just get along?"
I intervened before Steven could make up an excuse.
"We can't get along because we need a leader, and this leader must have the respect and responsibilities of all the team members. The only way for all of us to agree is a pokemon battle royale. Come on Gary, you always lost every game as a child, but can you win where it matters?"
Steven again intervened, I was getting annoyed about his unnecessary intervening already.
"How about a simple match between ash's ace vs every one else aces. Since there are 9 in total, it would be eight of you against one.
Gary's blastoise, Amora's swampert, Tyson's hauchcrow, Dickson's Rhyeprior, Wally's Gallade, Macy's Syleveon, Greens venasaur and Steve's metang VS Ash's Garchomp or Charizard."
"I agree, I will be using my garchomp cause charizard already fought against Moore and garchomp has been itching for a battle."
"Good, we can solve this issue and get back on track for the teams after this battle. I already prepared a Pokémon field just incase.
We all walked towards a massive neutral field. The ceiling was covered and there were lights hanging from the ceiling but the field was almost as large as the one used in the league finals. Nearly 5X times as large as normal.
"I shall be acting as a official Judge with my authority as pokemon champion. I wish al of you best of luck. Bring out all of your pokemon."
All of my opponents released their 8 Ace's. Steven called me out because I still hadn't released garchomp.
"Ash, would you release your ace? It is a match you know."
"Sure sure. Garchomp, destroy them, Minimal injuries."
As soon as I said this, a massive dark blue Garchomp came out of the pokeball. It's aura was pressuring the entire field and it gave off the feeling like a massive dragon with the intention of pure carnage and destruction.
The intimidation didn't stop there as the Garchomp roared its enough force to knock untrained humans onto their asses. The roar was bouncing around the stadium and it echoed not unlike thunder in a closed cage.
It's eyes glee red and it looked straight at the now intimidated poekmon before being covered in massive avatar of dragon energy.
Ten minutes later
A massive Garchomp stood on a pile of 8 large pokemon using a metal pike to clean its teeth while 8 human children were standing to the side of the field, contemplating the meaning of their lives. This group was ofcourse Ash's garchomp standing over his defeated foes.
"That was a great match everyone. Also Ash, your garchomp could probably give my metagross a run for its money." Steven said as he declared me the winner.
"Well now that you all had your battle against me and lost, let us get back to planning for the war between the evil teams. Also don't be too down, you guys are pretty good. I would say around 8th gym leader level is your groups average. But you guys need more battle experience and better reflexes."
"Ash is correct. I placed 24th in the league in my first attempt and it was still a close match animist my opponent but ash destroyed my ace. We need to get better and get better fast."
As I started talking, I called garchomp back into his pokeball.
"John Dickson Right? I like this one. He is determined to improve."
Gary was bleeding from his hands but he accepted the fact that I was better and looked like someone lit a fire under his ass.
Green and Amora weren't surprised but they were happy for me. They both are pretty similar personality wise.
Steve respected me because Steven acknowledged me and because I was ridiculous strong.
Tyson respected me for my power because he believed in survival of the fittest and I was the alpha.
Macy and Wally had hearts in their eyes and I could see a bit of hero worship rising in their eyes.
"Sure but we need to get back to our meeting agenda." Steven intervened for what seemed the millionth time.
"Yeah team failure, team warm and team cold." Tyson said with sarcasm in his voice, he was doing his best to lift the tension
I could see a few of the younger population holding their laughter so he successfully killed the tension. Yay!
"First of all, we cover the basics of each team. This is for the beginners as they haven't encountered any of the teams while only one of you have been in contact with all three.
They all have the same social structure or hierarchy. It goes
Team leader. This is the leader of the evil teams. They are the masterminds and the major players. They are elite four level or higher incase do team rocket.
The 4 Admins. There are 4 admins for each team, the command the 4 directions of a region. South, West, East and North. Good news is that all 4 of team rockets admins have been dispatched by Ash. They are 6-8th gym leader level
10 Lieutenants. There are ten Lieutenants for each team. They command grunt leaders and have minor sway over decisions. They are 2-5th gym leader level.
50 Grunt leaders. These are the people who give give orders to the grunts, they make sure the grunts stay in line and they are usually 1st gym leader level
400-600 Grunts. These are the bottom of the barrel and the people who do the grunt work. They are anywhere from big catcher to 1st gym leader level.
Is that understood?"
A chorus of "Yes" rung throughout the room as the noobs where looking on with great anticipation along with Dickson.
"Now we will be going in-depth about each admin and their known Pokemon...
I zoned out and started meditating while he was explaining bunch of strategies to defeat the different gym leaders.
Nearly 4 hours later, They all were about to leave when Tyson walked up to me was about to shake my shoulder as if to ask me too wake up.
"Hey ash wake up."
"I was never asleep."
I answered before his hands reached me. My eyes opened and they grew a frankly alarming shade of electric blue for a second. It threw off everyone in the room which included everyone save for Steven cause he was burdened by his responsibilities.
Amora raises her hand along with Wally in sync.
"Yes?"
"Why did your eyes glow?"
"Ohh that happens when I channel aura throughout my body. It happened just now cause I was meditating, we'll see ya after the Hoenn league. After all I only have 3 weeks until the hoenn league. I can't afford anymore distractions, I am gonna wreck Juan and get to the league and get in a training montage in. After the championship I have a date with Cynthia, a match with Bruno, a birthday with my Family, I have to beat Steven and the elite four, Destroy team rocket, show off to Damien and a few other things."
"Well Bye. See you later, oh And Gary."
"What?"
"You are doing good. Push yourself but don't push your pokemon."
