Ash...

"What do you think Anderson? Who's gonna win?" Serena asks me, we were sitting in the stands, "I dunno, Gabs" I tell Serena, we were having quite the time talking whilst the matches go on, right now though Max was a battling a random dude and I must say that he's doing REALLY well, Serena and I saw Bonnie's match just before this and that was excellent as well, I was them to go head on, all out.

Finally after a few matches it was time for my match and I was battling a random dude by the name Phoenix, I was in the waiting room, waiting for them to call me out, "You know Ash, this attire looks good on ya" it was Goodshow, I knew it, "I knew you would figure out soon enough" I chuckled, "Not just me lad, Scott as well, ya know the drill kid, go easy" He said as he left, I smirked, both of us knew darn well that there isn't a term like 'going easy' on my dictionary, There's no mercy in this soul.

I got out when they announced my name, it's definitely been different not having Pikachu going along with me for matches like this.

"On the Blue side, we have Phoenix from Hoenn and on the Red Side we have Anderson from Galar, this will be a two-on-two battle, with no substitutions, Let the battles BEGIN!" the ref announced as I released My Alolan Ninetales, she let out a majestic War cry and stood in the front, head held high like the queen that she is, Phoenix smirked out and let out his Pokémon of Choice, I knew he was gonna use it first, "Sawk, time to fight!" he said while copying sawks actions, reminded me of a lad I met back in Unova.

"Sawk, lets start this up with a quick attack followed by a brick break" he commanded, I nodded, that was a good move and strategy to begin with, and it would work for most people, unfortunately I'm not most people, "Ninetales, Freeze the floor" I say, Ninetales jumps up and uses Ice beam freezing all the ground and making it difficult for Sawk to move around in, "Now, blizzard" I say and suddenly nothing but white is seen as the snow covers the fields, It should freeze Sawk, but we don't want that now do we? We are looking for a challenging battle.

Sawk and phoenix look over at us with a smirk thinking that the Blizzard didn't work, well, it did work exactly the way I wanted it to, but then his smirk disappeared when he saw the condition of the field, covered in about 5 inches of snow, and the colder temperature in the air, meaning that this snow isn't really melting for a while.

The crowd also went wide eyed in realisation and started cheering even louder, it was time to end this part of the match, Sawk tried to use bulk up and started coming over for a brick break, "Freeze dry" I say, Phoenix's eyes widen and Sawk tried to stop but Ninetales was faster and within the next millisecond Sawk was circle eyed covered in Ice, frozen. Cold.

"Sawk is unable to battle, Blue side choose your next Pokémon" the ref said bringing Phoenix out of his stupor, he was probably mortified, I had seen his matches and just like me, he hasn't brought out another Pokémon other than Sawk into the battlefield, "My friend, show them the power of our us, Luxray, Time to Battle" he said as he called out the Electric type.

I thought about bringing Zeraora into the battle, but Ninetales has taken little to no damage, so I stay put and let Ninetales stay. I knew she could do it and do it she did, though she did get a couple of hits from Luxray, nothing major, just a few scratches here and there.

After the match Serena and I made our way to the Pokémon centre where I was giving Ninetales's Luxury ball to Nurse Joy, when we were about to take back Ninetales, I felt the Aura of Brock, good old Brocko, "We should go back quick, they are here" I murmur in serena's ears, she nods and we go off hand in hand to our room, I am feeling really tired, I know that Team Rocket is really getting set up, I have a few people spying on all their actions, reporting from time to time, I have told them not to interfere, because I want to see what they are doing here, in the stadiums, on the finals, because apparently that's when they are gonna strike, and I wanna stay Anderson till then, mainly because its so calming and peaceful to have a normal life, even more Normal than Ash, because when I go to Events like this, I'm surrounded by league officials and bodyguards and its fvcking tiring, I don't even get to rest because I have to have an exhibition match.

It was the evening and I had planned out a romantic evening for Serena and I, this woman is just soo supportive and kind hearted, she deserves the world and I'll fvcking give it to her. Everything was pre-planned for me, I had left her a Note and a box with a beautiful Emerald green Dress, that matched her eyes, or rather the contacts on her eyes and I was wearing a simple Black Silk Dress shirt with black Slacks that were high waisted as per fashion trends, because I like to keep up with the trends, I was wearing Brown Armani Shoes, yeah, I had brought in My Rolls Royce Cullinan, yeah...Forget the fact that I am supposed to be an average trainer for a night.

I was waiting by the Car, I did give a time for her to show up at, and by then I would be back at the Pokémon Centre waiting for her.

Dinner was amazing and I had a great time, and I think she did too, she was being all cheeky and what not, and being utterly cute. I couldn't help but sneak in a few cute pics of hers, we ended up in my property in Alola, watching the moon, under the skies and eventually going to bed late at night, blissfully unaware of the fact that Dawn and Lillie were on a double date with Gary and Paul who gave off our disguises.

The next day we were awoken from our blissful sleep was the Door Bell ringing, confused I got up, used my Aura to find two very nervous and scared Auras and two others that were entirely the opposite of said two.

Its safe to say that Dawn and Lillie gave us hell for our stunt, I didn't even have the time to explain all the shit going down and we were included into the group as Gabby and Anderson, Max and Bonnie even challenged me to a battle, which I won with Ninetales, and before we knew what we even happening there were only four matches left, guess who made it to the finals of the competition...Yeah...it was Paul, well I was against a random bloke and Paul was against Max who gave him a tough competition.

Which leads us to now, I had my Pokémon other than Ninetales, Gengar and Haxourous who helped me to win match after match... of course I knew Paul was no easy guy to defeat but I trusted my team.

My assumptions on who wanted to Kill serena was accurate and I knew that Team Rocket were gonna target their attacks here, on the day of the finals, During the Finals, and I had a back-up team of the fiercest Battlers of Rota, to hell with Team Rocket's fvcking stupid self-centred egoistic plans, today I'm going to finish them for good, Serena was with Mom, Ilene and Grace in a VIP room, today she didn't bother putting on her contacts, all the truths were gonna be out today anyway. She also had an appointment to get back her Strawberry Blonde hair, back to her natural Beauty.

They weren't gonna announce me as Ash or Even RED just yet, I had made sure of that, or rather Scott and Goodshow did, but I was back to my original Hair colour, but my eyes were still different, but I knew that my rage for the rockets would bring back my Teal eyes just like that, for what they tried to do now and for what they did with my father and all the things they have done to harm the people. And the bitch who had the nerve to try and end Serena's life, she has a special place in the distortion world. Trust me I will ensure of that, but for now let's concentrate on giving Paul the battle of his Lifetime.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE ARE HERE, THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT, THE POKEMON LEAGUE ASSOCIATION'S 300TH YEAR, AND WE HOPE TO SEE IT RUNNING MORE, TODAY MARKS THE END OF THE TOURNAMENT, THE WINNER OF THE TOURNAMENT WILL WIN THE MASTER BALL AND 10 MILLION POKE DOLLARS, BUT MOST OF ALL HE WILL GET THE CHOICE OF BATTLING A CHAMPION OF HIS CHOICE TO TAKE THEIR POSITION IN AN OFFICIAL MATCH, BUT THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT, FOR NOW WE HAVE TWO INCREDIBLE TRAINERS HERE"

"ON THE BLUE SIDE, HAVING WON THE SINNOH LEAGUE CURRENTLY TRAINING UNDER THE CHAMPION HERSELF, THIS YOUNG LAD IS ONE OF THE MOST CUNNING TRAINERS OF THIS GENERATION, WE HAVE PAULLLL SHIINJIII!!" the announcer shouts,

"AND ON THE RED SIDE. HE CAME IN OUT OF LITERALLY NO WHERE AND HEAS CONCQUERED THE HEART OF TRAINERS IN AND OUT OF THE BATTLEFIELD, BEATING ALL OF HIS OPPONENTS USING HALF THE AMOUNT OF POKEMON THEY DO, GIVE IT UP FOR ANDERSONNNN!!!"

I liked this guy, what?! I just wish he's half as good when it comes to battling because by the time this match ends,

"OK FOLKS NOW WE GET WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR, THE FIERY BATTLE BETWEEN THE STRONGEST BUNCH HERE!!." said the commentator "I'm Not holding Back Shinji and I expect you to be at your A-Game." said Ash "I am always ready for a match and remember I will win this one Anderson." said Paul "OK THIS IS GOING TO BE A FULL ON 6-ON-6 MEGA SHOWDOWN, TRAINER SEND OUT YOUR FIRST Pokémon!." said the referee "Torterra, stand by for battle." said Paul throwing his PokéBall to reveal Torterra.

'Torterra huh...' Ash thought, "Ninetales, show them their worth" said Ash throwing his Luxury Ball to reveal the Magnificent Ninetales as soon as Ninetales came to the field, hail started falling 'Ok, so it has snow warming for its ability.' thought Paul "LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!" The referee announced, effectively bringing the crowds to a whole new level of Enthusiasm.

"Torterra use stone age" said Paul, "Ninetales use blizzard to Deflect it" said Ash, as soon as stones got close to Ninetales, she fired a powerful blizzard which deflected stone age and did damage to Torterra "Anderson, you have trained your Pokémon well but it will not be enough" said Paul, "Oh we will see about that" Ash said smirking,

"Now Torterra use earthquake" said Paul, "Ninetales... jump and use ice beam" said Ash, Torterra creates a powerful earthquake and as soon as the waves got close to Ninetales, she jumps and fires a powerful ice beam which goes through and directly hits Torterra and making it faint "THERE YOU HAVE IT FOLKS! THE FIRST OF MANY TODAY!" said the commentator, "Torterra is unable to battle, red side wins. "Great battle Torterra take a nice long rest." said Paul, returning his Pokémon to the PokéBall. "You are good Paul; you have improved a lot." said Ash smiling "Thanks Anderson. You have improved even more." said Paul "Go on then? Send out you next Pokémon, Ninetales is getting restless" said Ash,

"Magmortar, stand by for battle." said Paul while throwing his PokéBall to reveal Magmortar "Ninetales, you wanna keep going" asked Ash, receiving an affirmative nod from the said Ice type and a psychic confirmation from their bond, which translated to, "hail yeah! Let's freeze them!" 'She really likes 'em puns' Ash thought with an internal chuckle, "Alrighty then Ninetales" said Ash "BATTLE BEGIN" said the referee, The crowd roared on!

"Magmortar, flamethrower" commanded Paul, "Ninetales, Use Aurora Veil. Defend yourself" said Ash, Magmortar fires a powerful flamethrower but, Ninetales defended Herself using aurora veil, "Magmortar don't give up use focus blast," said Paul, "Ninetales use Moonblast, counter" it said Ash, both of them fired their powerful moves and they both collided with each other to cause a big explosion, Tons of black smoke covered the fields as the crowds roared, the smoke cleared revealing two Pokémon, one more hurt than the other.

"Your Magmortar is strong but not strong enough!" Said Ash, "Now Ninetales use Moonblast "Ash said, "Now Magmortar use full power Hyperbeam" said Paul, Both of move towards each other and fire their attacks at point blank range, the attacks hitting both Pokémon, "Ninetales are you ok?" asked Ash, Ninetales looked back at Ash and nodded, "Magmortar let's not give up" said Paul, then continued, "Use fire-blast" said Paul, "Ninetales finish this, show them the power of your strongest Blizzard" said Ash, Magmortar charged a powerful fire-blast and Ninetales fired a freezing blizzard, Magmortar's fire-blast melts through most of the blizzard but some of it hits Magmortar, And both of the Pokémon take tons of damage both of the Pokémon fall down with swirly eyes, The crowds gasp because it's the first time that one of Ash's Pokémon have fainted.

"Both Ninetales and Magmortar are unable to Battle," said the referee, "LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE A TIE HERE LADIES AND GENTLMEN, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THIS TOURNAMENT THE ALMIGHT ANDERSONS POKEMON GOT A RUN FOR ITS MONEY ENDING WITH A TIE, THIS HAS GOT ME PUMPED" said the commentator, "Great job Magmortar now return" said Paul while returning his Pokémon, "You did amazing Ninetales now take some rest" said Ash, while he returned his Pokémon, "You have gotten much stronger" said Ash smirking, "Oh you think you will win, let's see who will win" said Paul, "Time to bring out your next Pokémon" said the referee

Third Person...

The crowd was ecstatic, and very much into the competition spirit, it was the finals and the champions were scared out of their pants, mainly because of the way Ash or Anderson to them was battling, he had a certain ruthless charm to him, just like another trainer they knew off, even if Paul was giving his all, they could tell that Anderson wasn't going all out just yet, Serena sat in the private quarters with Ilene, Dawn and their friends, They were cheering on Paul, Serena was supporting her boyfriend, she knew he would win, but she was still weary, he was very reckless and once he got into the flow it was gonna be difficult, She was wearing a pair of sunglasses to hide her eyes, it was a dead giveaway, Dawn and Gary of course knew, So did Delia and her mother, But to everyone else she was Anderson's Girlfriend Gabriella, And she was a feminist and all but being his girl had a certain ring to it, and she liked it a lot.

Now everyone was looking back at the field as the match was about to begin again.
