(Flashback)
Ash and Elena was lying and cuddling beneath a large tree, a single large blanket was covering their bodies.
Beside them were Pikachu and Koyuki already asleep.
"I think I should have thought Koyuki a different Aura Technique, I think she wasn't ready for that high class technique." Ash commented as he observed the sleeping form of Koyuki.
"I think it's for the best Ash, at the very least she will have something to work with until our next meeting." Elena said laying her head on Ash's chest.
"You're probably right. She is stronger than last time I saw her, have you been battling with her?' Ash asked as he wraps one of his arms over Elena's shoulder, bringing them closer.
"Sometimes, I've been battling some trainers who have come across in our expeditions.
All of them were in awe in Koyuki's power and they were extremely shock in all the aura base moves tha Koyuki could do." Elena explained.
"So you have been using all of the aura base techniques that I thought Koyuki, good for you." Ash said sheepishly.
"Yeah, my friends and family are always asking how I manage to teach Koyuki those moves." Elena mused.
"Did you tell them?" Ash asked secretly worried.
Elena looked at him in the eyes and said. "No, not yet, my friends and sisters would never let me live it down and my father would probably hunt and kill you, regardless of being an Aura Prince."
"You're probably right. So what excuse did you tell them?" Ash asked, relief in his voice that none of his friends and family knows about their relationship.
"I didn't tell them anything." Elena simply stated.
"Why not." Ash asked confusedly.
"Because every battle I participated with Koyuki, I always go all out." Elena then glanced at the moon. "No matter what the consequence is." Elena quickly added.
"I wish I have your kind of motivation." Ash said softly but loud enough for Elena to hear.
Elena after seeing her beloveds face, gave him a kiss in the forehead. "What's the matter Ash? You seem troubled."
"Do you really want to listen to my problems?" Ash asked her which she answered with a nod.
Ash then sight and tell her all of his problems this month (yes it's their first meeting in the month).
His run-ins with Team Galactic, his difficulty in training his Pokémons to reach the level that they could keep up with his real strength, his problem with a certain rival, and his upcoming battle with said rival, and all of his other minor problems.
Elena intently listened to his problem and sigh a bit, her boyfriend really has the most interesting life.
"You know all of those problems would end if you battle them seriously." Elena advised, knowing full well that they will be having that conversation yet again.
Ash groan while having one thought flood his mind. 'Here we go again.'
"You know I can't battle seriously because of three reasons, first is that there is only four, if you count Koyuki, five Pokémons whom could keep up with me if I battle seriously, second is that I would leave my opponents Pokémons injured, and third I would overuse my Pokémons and they may hate my guts." Ash exclaim with a depress tone.
Elena sigh dejectively, he always said those three things every time she brought this topic up. "But you battle seriously against a heard of Dragonite once to save my life." Elena mused.
"That's because if I lose you I will have nothing to live for." Ash said as he embrace Elena protectively, shuddering a reminder of that fateful day.
"But we weren't in love back then, you didn't have a reason to save me then." Elena said, comfortable in the protectiveness in her beloved's arms.
"I had a reason in why I save you back then; I save you because you were the only woman that I know I can fell in love with.
I may not know it then but my heart already knows it. That's the only reason why I consider battling seriously in that situation because if I lose you back then I know deep down that I would regret it." Ash said as he embrace her tighter, the thoughts of her dying was too much for him to beat that he wanted to hold her close to him to insure that no one would dare harm her.
Elena was moved by what Ash said but, with great effort, shrugged it off.
Ash needs to hear what she will say and this time she would make sure that she will get through him. "Ash, you are an individual with great power and so is Pikachu. Pikachu had that power since Arceus-knows-when and his power must have been increase when you trained him to the limit and I know for a fact that there are only four Pokémons currently in your arsenal that can survive your real training regime. It must have been frustrating for them to fight in a limited state." Elena stated.
"I know, I could see it in their eyes. I must be pathetic in their eyes, to train them to have that kind of power and to hold them back in the end.
Those four are very important to me, for them to gain that power without my help; I think I'm disappointing them." Ash mumbled sadly.
"You're not disappointing them. Those four knows that you are holding for a reason." Elena said trying to comfort him.
"Nevertheless all their battles that they should have won are wasted because I held back." Ash said letting go of their embrace and stood up then turned his back to Elena so that she would not see his eyes that was filled with regret and sadness.
"All of that because of my fear of having a repeat of what happen during the very beginning of my journey, I don't what to repeat that incident ever again that I'm put in a situation that I would have to that again." Ash said with voice filled with regret and eyes close, trying to forget that incident that force him to limit the skills that he can show.
Ash didn't know how long he has eyes close or what happen after his little speech but when he open his eyes, he was suddenly spun around and was meet by the sight Elena throwing herself to him.
Ash caught her with no effort but he fell back to the ground when Elena suddenly kissed him in the lips. The two of them fell to the ground with their lips still attach to each other.
The kiss was rough yet gentle and both of them were enjoying it greatly. Elena didn't know why because this wasn't there first time making out but being on top while kissing was very arousing.
Ash on the other hand was in bliss, he didn't know why but having Elena on top of him was very exciting to say the least.
Ash was about to deepen their kiss when Elena suddenly pull up thus breaking the kiss, much to his and her disappointment.
Elena looked at Ash right in his eyes, her two hands was laid in his chest. "Could you at least promise me one thing and I promise you something in return." Elena asked which Ash answered with a nod. "Promise me that if you or Pikachu are in a dire situation that you will battle seriously, regardless of the outcome."
"You know I can't promise that kind of thing." Ash whispered softly.
"And in return I'll accompany you in one of the your most favourite thing." Elena said which caught Ash's full attention.
"Do you mean!!!!!!!?" Ash asked, his voice filled with hope.
"Yes, I will fly with you; well fly together like you always wanted." Elena said with a bright smile.
(End of Flashback)
Ash looked at her for a while, oblivious of the fact that the spectators were still in shock, that his Pikachu was barely standing, and the Hibernator Pokémon was ready to fire the powerful Hyper Beam.
"Hu, so you don't want to see your rodent get taken down, you truly are pathetic." Paul exclaim venomously. "Ursaring, fire the Hyper Beam and make sure that rat would not be standing for a long time."
"ASH." Brock and Dawn shouted while Reggie shook his head and close his eyes.
"Pikachu, Magnetic Mirror." Ash commanded not even looking at Pikachu or the field. Pikachu's eyes momentarily widen but then were replaced by a wide smirk. It's time.
The Hyper Beam impacted at Pikachu, but there was no explosion that happened. Instead the Hyper Beam was suddenly stopped in its tracks and was slowly getting absorb by some kind of energy.
"What the hell?" Paul asked as the attack was suddenly halted in its tracks. Even the spectators was shocked, one of the most power attack in the world was stopped that easily.
"Now use Magnetic Release." Ash ordered. The Hyper Beam was suddenly completely absorb an to the amazement and shocked of everyone who was watching the battle, a spiralling electricity had suddenly appeared. The spiralling electricity suddenly unleashed the Hyper Beam towards Ursaring. Ursaring, after firing a Hyper Beam, was defenceless and was hit by the Hyper Beam which push it back toward the forest, shattering some trees in the process.
The spiralling electricity then disappeared showing a grinning Pikachu inside it.
"Ursaring's attack, did it just bounce off..." Paul stated in shock, while the spectators and referee were in awe that they could not even form any words.
'Thank you for reminding me and I owe you a flight tonight.' Ash said with a smile.
'I'm looking forward to it.' Elena said with a smile as he retreated back to the forest to where Koyuki was watching.
"Paul." Paul's attention was suddenly reverted towards Ash. "I'm sorry but it seems that Pikachu and I will not lose. I can't throw this battle away, not this time." Ash said as he face Paul with the most scariest and psychopathic grin he had ever produce.
When Paul and the spectators, including Ash's friends, saw that kind of grin in Ash's face they were literally feeling the one thing that they would never thought they feel around Ash..... they were feeling fear.
"You will not lose huh. I find that hard to believe." Paul said arrogantly as he recovers his composure.
"Believe what you will. Pikachu Electronic Recover." To the shock of everyone, Pikachu was suddenly surrounded by strict of lightning which was dancing around him and to their further amazement, Pikachu's wounds and bruises was suddenly being heal in an extremely fast pace.
'What kind of trickery is this? I doesn't matter I'll win in the end.' Paul thought furiously. "Ursaring, stand up and charged at that rat with Slash." Ursaring suddenly appeared, shrugging of the damage that the Hyper Beam inflict on it, and charge towards Pikachu its claws were shining brightly.
"To late Paul." Ash said his grin becoming wider and more frightening.
Pikachu's wounds were all healed and it seems that his energy was also replenished. "Pikachu charged with Quick Attack and propel yourself with Iron Tail. Were using move number 18, nature is in our side." Ash then looked at the sky; several dark clouds were up in the sky which causes Ash to grin like a psycho even more.
Pikachu's grin never left his face as he charged towards Ursaring with amazing speed.
When they were about one foot apart, Ursaring attempted to Slash Pikachu but Pikachu suddenly jumped over Ursaring and slammed his glowing white tail on Ursaring's head propelling him like a rocket upwards in the process.
Ursaring stumbled to the ground and feel face first to the ground but stood up immediately growling and searching to where Pikachu is.
"Ursaring charge a Focus Blast now." Paul shouted furiously.
"To late, Lightning Absorber." A flash of lightning suddenly enveloped the sky and sound of thunder flooded the field.
"What the hell?" Paul said in shocked and in fear.
"Brock, could you tell me what's happening what is Ash doing?" Dawn asked, her eyes filled with shocked and awe.
"I don't know myself Dawn. I've never seen Ash do those kinds of moves before." Brock said with an expression of being God-smack.
"I do not like where this will lead." Reggie mumbled quietly.
(Scene Change)
"James, what is the twerp doing?" Jessie asked, scared all of the sudden.
"I don't know but with the twerps grin I think I'm going to run for my life." James exclaim wanting to run for his life.
Meowth on the other hand was napping comfortably in the other corner, oblivious of what is happening in his surroundings.
(Scene Change)
"('Mother' is father going to use)????" Koyuki didn't finish her statement when she saw her mother's smile.
"Yes Koyuki, this battle is as good as over." Elena said with a smile.
(Scene Change)
"What kind of trickery is this Ash?" Paul shouted.
"Trickery Paul, don't make me laugh. I've just merely decided to battle you for real." Ash said showing him the psychopathic grin but this time Ash's eyes were like flashing like murder.
Paul and the rest of the spectators didn't know if this was the same Ash or was replaced by a madman.
"Fight for real, don't make me laugh." Paul said furiously, pushing the fear he was feeling away.
"You don't know me Paul not even my friends knows me completely." Ash said suddenly which cause a shiver to run up Paul's spine and for Brock and Dawn to look at questioningly. "In this world, there is only one person who knows me, the real me. But let me give you a glimpse." The flash of lightning suddenly disappeared and there was silence all around.
"Pikachu it's time, Divine Armour of Thunder." Ash shouted and a roar of thunder was suddenly heard all around followed by a strict of lightning towards the ground which cause a cloud of smoke to surround the figure below who had landed on the ground.
'What kind of person is he?' Everyone, with the exception of Elena whom was smiling like Christmas came in early, thought.
"Well Paul this has been fun but sadly I have to end it." Suddenly the cloud of smoke disperses and a sight that shocked them appeared.
A ten-feet long panther made out of yellow and extremely condensed yet higly combustable lightning appeared before them.
They could have swore that the panther was real if it weren't for some strict of wild lightning being emitted by the armour of lightning. "Well bro, you know what to do." Ash said as he suddenly pulled out something from his pocket.
"I know that you can't see while you are using that move but let me remedy that." Ash then showed an elegant flute made out of wood. "Ready bro," Pikachu, whom was inside the amour nods which cause the head of the panther to nod as well. "Well here goes." Ash then closed his eyes began playing his flute.
The only word to describe the sound and the melody that Ash produce with his flute was magnificent.
The melody was bright and lively and the sound was soft and gentle, a perfect harmony which produce the most magnificent and most pleasant requiem that they have ever heard.
The spectators were unconsciously shedding tears because of the sheer beauty of the melody.
When the melody began, Pikachu charged towards Ursaring at full speed carving a path beneath him with the armour lightning.
"Ursaring, Focus Blast now." Paul shouted, ignoring the beautiful melody that he was hearing.
Ursaring then fired the blue ball of energy towards the Panther/Thunder Armour. The blue ball of energy then crash to the armour and the ball of energy shattered like a mirror, not even breaking or phasing the armour of thunder.
Ursaring was then hit by the full force of the Divine Armour of Thunder. Ursaring let lose a cry of pain and agony as the Panther, which was made out of lightning, enveloped and electrocute its entire body. After five agonizing seconds Pikachu, who was manoeuvring the Thunder Panther from the inside, appeared behind Ursaring the armour still intact and still shaped like a panther.
Ursaring on the other hand was severely electrocuted evident to the fact that his body was completely covered in scorched mark from the attack and his body was emitting smoke from electrocution.
Ursaring fell to the grown with a thud, its eyes were wide but the pupils were gone. Ursaring was miraculously breathing.
Ash then suddenly stopped playing his flute and looked at Paul's shocked and fearful expression. "Well five down, one to go." Ash said with a homicidal grin.
