CB: hey everyone been awhile. I know, i know put down the fucking pitchforks and torches already. I've been gone for a long while. I'm sorry about that but just know that after what had happened to me with my land lord, my previous employer causing certain health issues and such i'm finally able to relax just enough to power out a chapter or two as i have gotten better even surprising my doctors about my recovery. Stupid fuck never expected me to even wake up after that last scare. Anyway, I hope you all will take my advice and listen to the song that i have chosen to play in the fight later in the chapter. I felt it was just PERFECT to as a suspenseful and rocking tune to have play in the background when it occurs. Also a new poll is up on my profile about two ideas I've always had floating around in my head. I hope you all vote for which one you like most. Enjoy Feel invincible chapter 6.

(Route 11 Just outside of Vermilion City)

Ash and his party are currently just walking along the route towards Lavender town. Ash having just won a victory over Lt. Surge and earned his third badge. Ash looking at the badge placed on his jacket just smiles happily as he's quickly distracted by Diantha.

"So Ash, which gym is next on your list to beat?" Diantha asks a bit curious to know his battle plans.

"Well, Next on the list of Gym leaders is Sabrina the Psychic. She's touted as one of if not THE MOST Powerful Psychic user on the planet even able to beat pokemon like Alakazam in a psychic battle of the minds. She's going to be one tough cookie to beat. I know Psychic Pokemon have a weakness to ghost types and that ghosts are also weak to psychic types but i don't have any ghost type pokemon. Well i almost did but uhh. . . there was an incident involving a haunter on the day i turned 10 and i'm a little weary of ghosts because of it." Ash responds a little worried as he rubs his head embarrassed. Cynthia however just begins giggling like a madwoman before pointing at ash and laughing a bit harder than normal.

"Oh god, that story Juniper told me was true? The one about the haunter?" Cynthia just laughs more making Ash look at the floor as a rain cloud spawns above his head raining on him to enhance his depressed state.

"Yeah it happened. It wasn't my fault! Besides what kind of pokemon just up and strips a kid of everything making them float around naked like it's zero gravity?" Ash asks getting Diantha to look at him chuckling a little bit.

"That sounds cute. Ash, don't let the ghost pokemon scare you. Some of them can be the best companions you'll ever have. They can get really attached quite easily. Don't worry i'm sure if you find one you'll easily be able to tame it to be your friend." Diantha says rubbing Ash's shoulder.

"Thanks Diantha, I'm sure i can too but the only place to find and hunt ghost pokemon to catch is Lavender town and the Lavender tower. That place is cursed with dark and forbidden energies that just make ghosts wanna call that place home. Plus their was the whole "Dark hand" incident but even before that their was this musical incident that occurred in the town where they played a special song found in the highest traversable point of the tower and it ended up with nearly 45% of the people living in the town committing suicide and caused others to trip out and go insane or just straight up send them into catatonic seizures. So many rumors and myths surround Lavender town it's world renown and no one knows what is true and what isn't." Ash says getting both Cynthia and Diantha to look at one another freaked out. This was a place people decided to build a town around? Something so entwined with dark energies it causes madness, seizures and suicide? People in Kanto are either crazy as hell or tough as tanks to think that is a good place to build a whole city.

"Oh . . . .Great, A whole town surrounded by dark and vile energies that makes people commit suicide. Well atleast theirs no tales of hauntings or cults or what ever." Diantha says a bit sarcastically as Ash smiles and turns to her.

"Of course theirs no hauntings in the houses of the town silly. Thats reserved for "White hand" and "Just Buried" in the Lavender tower who are said to exist in the tower. They Posses humans and make them kill themselves in the tower to make their power grow. All the hauntings and ghosts are drawn to the top of the tower. Funny thing is that tower is even older than the Kanto region itself. Legends speak of the dark one herself "Giratina" being the one who constructed the tower to await her and Arceus's chosen one to claim a powerful artifact in the tower. Though thats just a legend it does have some fact as the tower was the reason the town was built. It served as a good place to settle what with the tower being able to easily show when the whole thing was under attack as the place was being built. It's an old tower that i'm sure someone with archaeology or history searching backgrounds would love to learn about." Ash says getting Cynthia to eyeball Ash happily. She begins jotting down the rumors and tales he just spoke of and happily giggles at the knowledge she is receiving.

"Oh boy, Ash please tell me you know more about the Towers history or the town itself. Anything even horror stories or myths help out. I actually am an archaeologist but I've never found time to explore the tower here as i was too busy uncovering the King of pokemon's tomb. The tower has a history that is shrouded in mystery and wonder and i want to learn about ALL OF IT. Even the horror tales that are told of the town." Cynthia says as Ash smiles at her. His companions have been the best thing on his journey always making him smile and laugh at some things but also because his knowledge of his home region always gets their attention. Cynthia being the more historically sound one always asks about anything and everything she can about the cities to learn about his region.

"Sure i know plenty Cynthia i can tell you when the city was first being built, I can tell you about all the horror stories, the myths and legends and even what the tower is used for today. But I think thats best saved for tonight when we actually get to town. After all, The best stories are the horror stories and what better place to speak about them than the very town they took place?" Ash says getting Cynthia to shudder a bit at the deepening of his voice. While meant to scare her it did something else. The way he spoke got her wet. She just rubs her thighs together and bites her bottom lip in an attempt to curb her lust before nodding at Ash.

"Of course. Don't worry i can wait. . . .Ash why is your backpack glowing?" Cynthia says as She points to backpack. Ash taking the backpack off sees that his bag is indeed glowing. His eyes widen and he quickly pulls out the egg he got from Brock seeing that it's glowing in intervals.

"OH MY ARCEUS! The egg i got from Brock is hatching. We have to stop. Quick Diantha reach into my backs side pocket and pull out the baby poke' food i got at the poke' mart in Cerulean before we left. The baby will be hungry." Ash says as Diantha nods and quickly fishes out the food. As she's doing this the egg glows brightly and disappears as a new pokemon is born into the world.

Sitting in Ash's arms is a tiny serpent like pokemon. Blue scales surround it's top while it has a pure white underbelly and two pure black ovals for eyes. It has a very bulbous muzzle and fin like appendages on the side of it's head seeming to look like ears. The baby Pokemon has it's eyes open for the first time and it's eyes lock onto a tanned skinned boy with black hair and beaming eyes. The little pokemon calls out it's name in excitement imprinting on the boy in that moment.

"Dratini?" The pokemon calls out with a tilt of her head.

"Oh my gosh, Hi dratini. Welcome to the world. I'm so happy you're here." Ash says as he begins to tear up. The pokemon in his arms calling it's name happily as it wants to be held by her father. Ash simply takes the Dratini into his arms and snuggles her into his body getting a happy loving call from the pokemon. Kissing his Dratini's head he just offers some Poke'food to the Dratini who happily eats what's offered before stopping when it's full. Ash just smiles and rubs the dratini's head getting it to nuzzle into his palm loving her fathers touch.

"Oh man, I'm so happy to have you with me Dratini. Please i need to make sure no one else can take you from me. Please get into this ball. It was on sale in the Poke'mart. It's called a dive ball and it was specifically made for water types like you. Just touch the balls button with your nose okay?" Ash says pulling out the deep blue ball that enlarges in his hands. Dratini doesn't even hesitate and immediately pushes the button with her nose turning into a red beam and entering the ball. Immediately without resistance the ball dings showing Ash had caught his Baby pokemon.

"Welcome to the family Dratini. I'll do my best to make you feel loved and welcome." Ash says as Diantha and Cynthia had stayed back enough to let Ash be the one The Dratini imprinted on. They knew the rules about baby pokemon and imprinting. After all it's not written that having an egg owners hatched pokemon imprint on someone else who pushes the owner aside is illegal. It's still a severely bitch move to pull on someone especially during such a happy and wondrous event. Cynthia and Diantha both smile happily at the way Ash is tearing up when putting Dratini in the ball to rest. After all he just got a rather rare pokemon and the newly hatched Pokemon are always the weakest and most tired. She needs to be treated at a pokemon center to find out if she's truly healthy and the proper care procedures for caring for a baby dragon type.

"Come on girls we now have a reason to pick up the pace. We need to get passed this forest and the mountain to the pass a few miles ahead to reach lavender town. Diantha do you think Gardevoir can take the three of us and herself there using Psychic to fly us?" Ash asks a bit curiously before seeing Diantha's eyes widen.

"I never would have thought of using Psychic like that. Wow that would be a great way to train her. Of course she's strong enough to lift us into the air but getting us to the town may be a bit much. We may have to sit and let her rest once or twice but i think she can do it." Diantha states as she calls out Gardevoir

Gardevoir looks around and smiles at her three favorite people waving to them as she calls out her name. Having heard the idea through her pokeball she nods and uses psychic on herself and her travelling companions lifting them into the air and flying over the tree tops. All 4 of them completely avoiding a pit fall trap set up by three familiar figures who begin shouting curses at the top of their lungs.

"Did you girls hear something?" Ash asks a bit confused having thought he heard voices.

"The only thing i hear is the wind blowing through my hair and the happy cheers of a new training regiment i can implement thanks to your help ash." Diantha says as Cynthia nods happily whooping it up as they fly through the air like a flying type pokemon.

"Huh i could have sworn i heard someone calling out about ripping off berries and shoving them in a mystery cave." Ash says shrugging his shoulders.

"Must be one of the old rumors of Shadow people that live around forested areas that watch small groups or individual travelers that live around Lavender town." Ash says shrugging his shoulders knowing to not doubt the rumors around Lavender.

Just as Diantha had said, It took three full trips of psychic from gardevoir to get the trio to town. Gardevoir had required 2 five minute rest period between the three uses and was surprisingly still okay to go longer. While in total the trip took about 30 minutes rather than the usual 2 hours. Racing to the pokemon center The three trainers and gardevoir all burst into the lavender town pokemon center and Ash immediately offers up all his pokeballs and taking special care to explain about his baby pokemon Dratini and how she needs an immediate physical and a compiled lsit of things he'd need to care for his bouncing baby pokemon.

Diantha, Cynthia and Ash are currently just waiting in the lobby of the pokemon center discussing how things should go from here.

"Alright we made it here in record time thanks to Gardevoir who's getting a quick check up and should be back soon. Theirs not a lot to do here in Lavender town but i'm sure you wanna go out and ask the townsfolk for local legends and such about the town. They'll be more than willing to give it out as it helps with tourism and such. Diantha what are you going to do?" Ash states as he tries to make a game plan for himself and the others having to be VERY careful about it in this particular town. l

"Well I was planning on just going around town with Diantha asking about the local lore and i know Diantha was probably going to scout out some new locations to build another of her restaurants. How should we take care of this?" Cynthia asks a bit confused as the town is rather spacious despite the small town size.

"Well i was planning on having gardevoir go with Ash to the Tower today to capture the ghost pokemon he wants. While he did that i was going to wait for his pokemon to be taken care of and talk with the nurse joy here about a few things before scouting for prime spots to build a restaurant. Oh maybe i should do a whole spooky horor themed type cafe complete with silly pun named foods and drinks to fit with the whole aesthetic of the town. I'm sure it would go over well with tourists and locals alike." Diantha says chuckling a little bit at the silly idea. Than again sometimes people do need a place to just let loose and be silly so it might not be that bad of an idea.

"Well thats good with me for sure. Just be careful Cynthia please? I know this town isn't that bad as no real crime happens here but the stories and legends surrounding Lavender are numerous and no one knows which ones are true and which ones are fake. I really don't want you getting dragged into anything by white hand or being possessed by just buried. So gardevoir are you up for a little adventure with me to the lavender tower so i can catch a ghost pokemon?" Ash asks as Gardevoir had just started making her way over to the group surprised he heard her coming.

"Gardevoir, Voir Voir Garde Gardevoir" Gardevoir speaks to ash nodding her head some as she giggles behind her hand. It should be fun stomping some Ghost type pokemon with Ash it'll give her time alone with him to get to know him a little more.

Well than it seems to be settled then. Meet back here around 10 o'clock or so to rest up and move on from the town or try again to catch a ghost pokemon." Cynthia says happily as they all nod. Diantha going to Nurse joy explaining what is going on with the group for now. Ash and Gardevoir smile at one another and leave the pokemon center heading off towards the imposing tower in the distance.

(Lavander Tower 7:30am)

"Well Gardevoir here we are, Lavender tower. The one place in all of Kanto where you can capture Ghost pokemon and the site of the . . . well you know. Thanks again for agreeing to help me out with this. I know it can't be easy for you being weak against ghost type attacks an all. At least your psychic attacks are also strong against ghost types." Ash says as Gardevoir just giggles cutely into her hand as her eyes close. She simply closes the distance between herself and him and kisses his cheek softly before wrapping both her arms around his left arm beginning to tug him along.

"Garde, Voir voir, Gard, Gardevoir." Gardevoir says soothingly as she tries to calm Ash's nerves about the Tower. Ash looking at Gardevoir just smiles happily and blushes at the kiss she gives him. He gains a bit of confidence and nods to her.

"Okay Gardevoir, If you believe in me then i will too. Let's catch us a ghost pokemon." Ash says with pride and confidence as Gardevoir just smiles and drags her friend into the tower since he didn't start moving after making that claim.

As Gardevoir and Ash make their way into the tower Ash notices that the tower is completely empty. That's not like the tower. It's usually completely full to the brim of people wanting to catch pokemon as well as lay their own to rest. Why it was empty is going to need to be answered. Ash and Gardevoir head over to the welcome desk only to see that it's also empty. Looking at one another Ash just gets a bit scared only to have Gardevoir place a hand on his shoulder and calm his nerves. Ash sighs and nods heading over towards the stairs that lead up to the higher levels of the tower.

Walking up the first flight of stairs Ash and Gardevoir finally see someone who's kneeling in front of a gravestone. Walking up Ash sighs with relief at seeing another human being around.

"Thank goodness i thought i was the only one here in the tower. My names Ash Ketchum i'm from Pallet Town. Are you here to catch Ghost pokemon as well?" Ash asks the stranger only to have the Grey haired woman stand up startled before turning around with her hands on a pokeball. Seeing ash and Gardevoir the old woman sighs with relief before glaring t the youngster.

"Kid don't you see that this place is off limits for the next few days? I had guards posted outside and everything. I'm here investigating the sightings of a vicious ghost pokemon who supposedly has been killing the people who visit here. This is no place for a child." The woman says a little angry at the boy.

"Guards? But . . . Me and Gardevoir here just walked up to the door and no one was around. The place was unlocked also. I wanted to catch a ghost pokemon or two to help me out with my next Gym battle With Sabrina the Psychic. I'll leave if you want." Ash says a little upset he couldn't catch any ghost types just yet but he doesn't want to get in trouble if the lady in front of him owns the Tower or is an official of the pokemon league of kanto. Looking at the woman however gets ash's eyes to open in surprise and wonder as he knows he's seen this old woman before from somewhere.

"Kid listen, I understand you want an advantage against Psychic type pokemon. That's thinking smart but you can't be here. I'm investigating the rumors of murders done by a supposed Ghost that's killing patrons to this tower. You need to leave for your own Safety. I can't very well protect myself, My pokemon and You as well as your pokemon. I may be a member of the Elite four but even i can't do everything." The woman says with finality as Ash's eyes sparkle with excitement and recognition.

"LADY AGATHA OF THE ELITE FOUR OF KANTO? Oh my ARCEUS! Oh Goodness i'm such a big fan of yours Lady Agatha. Please don't send me away. I'm a really strong trainer. I've already got 3 Gym badges and i've only been on my Journey for a month in a half. Please let me stay and help you. I'll do anything." Ash says surprising the woman when he proves his claim by showing he has Surge's bade. Usually trainers only get to Surge and then quit being Pokemon trainers all together or they go to one of the lesser known but still sanctioned gyms. To have actually beaten an actual Navy Lt in a pokemon battle does show merit.

"I don't know kid. . . .Your Gardevoir does look tough and very well taken care of i might add. Let me see your other pokemon and i'll decide then. It does look like you can take care of yourself after all." Agatha says a little skeptical. She wants to see how well his other pokemon are before coming to a final conclusion.

"Okay Lady Agatha But to let you know Gardevoir isn't my pokemon. She's actually my friend Diantha's Gardevoir. She let me take her with me to help me catch some ghost pokemon due to them being weak against psychic attacks. Hey everybody come on out and meet a new friend." Ash says with a happy grin on his face before tossing his pokeballs into the air. All of which open up and reveal his roster to Agatha who recoils in shock at the pokemon that pop out of the balls. Standing before her is not only Gardevoir but a very powerful and gorgeous Blaziken, A very very healthy and beautiful Milotic, an Adorable little Joltik, plus a very aggressive looking and ready to fight Zoroark. The Vixen however turns docile and loving as it nuzzles it's head into Ash's own as gently as a baby litten would. Looking at the last pokemon it seems to be something that shocks her to the core. A massive and very powerful Goodra who is currently snuggling up and holding onto her trainer like a lifeline and happily kissing his cheek multiple times in unison with the Zoroark. This kids roster is powerful and very very well taken care of and loyal. The air around them all just proves it.

"Arceus above. . . .Kid you have got to be either the greatest trainer in all of Kanto or i've finally gone Senile. For Arceus's sake look at these pokemon. Your Milotic is just gorgeous, What little light is present radiates off her like a beacon and her scales shine so bright it's a sure sign of her happiness and health. Your Goodra and Zoroark are HYPER ATTACHED to you and they show the love and loyalty they have with hugs and kisses from what i can see. . .. gaining the loyalty and respect of a dragon type alone is enough to prove you have skill. Even your little bug type Pokemon here is healthy as can be and and just so adorable. But this blaziken, Giratina's sake, she's in a league of her own when it comes to loyalty and power.. . . . .I don't have any idea where you even got these pokemon let alone how you managed to get them ALL to listen to you." Agatha says genuinely surprised by the pokemon in this kids Roster. Being around as long as Agatha has she has picked up a sense for pokemon and the trainers who have them. She can sense the loyalty, friendship and love that they share for one another. These pokemon in Ash's team are just radiating power, Loyalty and love for the trainer they have.

"Well it's a long story. But please, PLEASE, can i stay and help you? I would really love to help and possibly catch a ghost pokemon." Ash says with a happy smile and pleading face as all his pokemon give Agatha sparkling begging eyes that make her take a step back.

"Fine. . . i guess you can help me Ash. You can tag along with me but just to reiterate so you know this is serious. I'm here on Official Elite four Business in conjunction with the pokemon league private investigations. You will be compensated for this both financially and in terms of your trainer stats. Since Ghosts are my specialty i was tasked with this investigation over the other Elite four members like lorelei and Bruno. I have a feeling that these rumors of murder are just illusions brought on by a special Ghost type pokemon. I've been following this particular case for a little while and i think i have a good grasp on how to handle it. Come on Ash lets see if we can't solve this mystery together." Agatha says while walking up to the higher floors of the tower with Ash and his pokemon in tow.

Ash and Agatha both soon realize that these are definitely illusions. But very strong ones. Every few steps the ghost had attacked them jumping out from the maze of tombstones appearing before them as an orb shaped blob of shadows with a mad cackling grin on it's face and two hands in front of itself primed for something. The Ghost had used strange illusions to show them both rotten corpses and horrifying images of many blood filled visions. Agatha's and Ash's attacks from any of their pokemon never struck as they always phased through the blob in front of them. Agatha and Ash were both getting worried as on the 5th floor the ghost simply refused to let them pass the stairs and used it's trickery to have them nearly walk off the balcony of the tower overlooking the ocean just on the other side of the mountain.

"Ash this is getting us nowhere. We can't see any of this ghost pokemons attacks and we can't even hit it. We need to head out of the tower now before it really gets angry and just throws us out of the tower itself instead of trying to get us to do it expressly by ourselves." Agatha exclaims with a sigh. She heads back towards the stairs to the lower levels contemplating what they were going to be doing with Ash right behind her as he thinks on things a bit. He looks to Agatha a bit sad he couldn't really help her out like he wanted to do.

"Well i mean this is lavender town, Things like this are always happening here. I mean it's bringing in tourists and even silphco is getting in on the action by developing some kind of weird ghost detector over in Saffron City. I don't know if it's completed yet but they were advertising it like crazy during the last championship battle that i had watched. Do you think they would sell us one of them so we could possibly find out whats going on here?" Ash asks getting Agatha to look at the boy as if he grew a second head. The woman smiling a little bit and giving a gentle laugh. Her mind was berating her for not remembering the device sooner. After all it was with her knowledge of ghost pokemon that Silphco were able to actually make it.

"Kid, i don't know what is going on in that head of yours but thats a genius idea. I completely forgot about that little device. Come it's not that far away from here in Saffron. We can take my Limo. We'll be their and back inside of an hour Lets go." Agatha had spoken as she was already nearing the door to the tower with her companion.

(saffron City)

"Alright Ash lets get to the 7th floor of the building. Silph is an old friend of mine. I'm sure he'd gladly give us the device if i were to ask for them." Agatha says as she enters the building only to feel something is wrong.

"Ash stay still and don't move. Tell me does something seem off to you?" Agatha asks looking around as Ash is already looking around much to her surprise.

"Yeah, this place is as dead as Lavender Tower was. Only it's not lunch time for anyone and even if it was their should have been someone here who would have greeted us." Ash says heading over to the counter for check in finding two women tied up and gagged.

Acting quickly before Agatha can say a word Ash begins untying the women and taking out the items used to gag them.

"Quickly you two tell us who did this to you and whats going on." Agatha speaks only to get two women to hug on Ash and begin crying softly. They were obviously scared beyond belief.

"We don't know, Team rocket just came in and took over the whole building. They haven't hurt anyone or taken away our pokemon at all but all the employee's are all trapped on the other 5 floors passed the doors behind us. We were so scared they were going to kill us thank you for saving us." One of the women say kissing Ash on the lips briefly as the second women just hugs him.

"It's okay ladies i was glad to help. Please if you're not a pokemon trainer than leave the building and keep others from coming in. I've dealt with Team Rocket before and i'm sure i can handle them again." Ash says with confidence getting the two girls he saved to smile at him before nodding.

"Right, also if you want you can keep our gags. I'm sure a strapping young man like you wouldn't mind holding onto them after all." One of the women said with a seductive infliction getting Ash to tilt his head confused until he looks at the gags he pulled from their mouths only to see it was the girls panties. He just blushes a deep scarlet and offers them back to the girls who make a show for Ash by bending over revealing their round plump asses to him before getting their panties back on and leaving the building.

"Well aren't you just a little Casanova." Agatha says in a teasing way a grandmother would.

"What? No, no i'm not like that i just wanted them safe really. I didn't know they had their own panties used as gags for themselves." Ash speaks trying to make sure Agatha doesn't think he's some kind of deviant.

"Oh well you sure do have a way with women. After all the only Male pokemon on your team was Joltik and i'm sure you didn't sweet talk him into joining your team." Agatha says with a smirk getting Ash to blush before he turns to the double doors and heads off to them.

"Y-Yeah lets get to the current time and start whopping these Rocket grunts." Ash speaks with a nervous smile trying to not think about how he sort of did sweet talk all the girls on his team. Opening the door to the main floors business area Agatha and Ash see the employee's tied up and in the center of the room.

Agatha and Ash both nod to one another and smile before coming out into the open and gaining the attention of all the Rocket grunts who snarl and all pull their pokeballs. Agatha and Ash both pull their own pokeballs matching the number the grunts threw down as all of Ash's pokemon including Diantha's Gardevoir get ready to battle. Ghastly, Haunter and Gengar from Agatha all look to her and she nods knowing that they'll help protect Ash's pokemon from the grunts own if things get dicey.

(Silphco CEO Office)

"Well mister Silph I'm back from my little Vacation as you can see. You know the Deal now hand over the ball." Giovanni speaks to Mr. Silph.

Mr Silph just sighs knowing what is to come of his work before nodding. Going over to the safe he's about to punch in the digital code to unlock it when over Domino's radio a loud voice blazes through.

"SIR WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM!" A rocket grunt yells into his radio getting Giovanni to look at Domino who nods and hands her radio to her father.

"What is it Grunt?" Giovanni asks a little pissed off his men broke radio silence but knew it was probably an emergency.

"Mr Rocket sir, A couple trainers got into Silphco through the lobby and are currently DESTROYING the grunts on the lower floors and releasing the hostages." The grunt speaks over the com link.

"WHAT? YOU INCOMPETENT MORONS! Gang up on them and take their pokemon then tie them up like the others. Attack them all at once!" Giovanni says pissed his men were getting beaten thinking they were going sequentially one after the other.

"We are sir but this kid is strong as hell and is taking on the majority of the grunts but his partner is the one we're more worried about. IT'S AGATHA OF THE ELITE FOUR!" The grunt speaks getting Giovanni to start sweating a bit realizing what kind of problem he is in. However hearing that a kid is the one taking out most of the grunts gets Giovanni to wonder.

"Grunt report in. The kid give me his description NOW!" Giovanni yells into the mic.

"Sir, Small kid, black hair, Blue jeans, Sneakers, black undershirt, White and blue vest with a Limited edition Pokeball red and white cap. His pokemon are as follows, Gardevoir, Joltik, Milotic, Goodra, Blaziken and a fucking ZOROARK!" The grunt calls in. Giovanni hearing the kids description and his roster immediately smiles with pride at what is happening. His own Nephew is literally trouncing his own soldiers. His nephew who only has at most 2 months of training experience is literally wiping the floor with veterans of the sport of pokemon battling.

Hearing this Giovanni begins laughing rather happily. Not stopping for a full minute until he looks to Silph who is sweating bullets at what Giovanni might do to the kid. Giovanni looks to the radio and brings it up once more to his mouth.

"His travel partner is Agatha of the elite four you say?" Giovanni asks to make sure.

"Yes sir Agatha of the elite four. She's with the kid and letting him take care of all of the grunts. What do we do sir?" The grunt asks getting Giovanni to just laugh more.

"You lose thats what. You're no stronger than the others. Once beaten retreat like all the others have do you understand me. If any harm comes to that boy YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE! I'll see to that myself. Fight with your all and if you just so happen to lose thats your own damn fault. Retreat back to base if it happens but take NO FURTHER ACTION. Relay this to the other floors now!" Giovanni speaks into the radio getting an affirmative from the grunt only to turn to face Mr. Silph once more.

"Well Mr. Silph it seems that you have gotten very lucky today. Keep the ball in the safe. We're changing our story. Domino Strip out of your uniform and get into your civvies. You're about to meet your cousin." Giovanni speaks happy he's going to meet his nephew for the second time after his sisters husband brought him over to visit before leaving on his journey to fight Moltres on One Island.

"Wait i'm meeting my cousin here? The one kicking our asses is my cousin? Wow, I hope he's nice." Domino says as she runs off to Silphs hidden bathroom to quickly change out of her clothes.

"Now then Mr Silph the story we're going to tell Agatha and my Nephew when they get up here is that I came here to see how the research for my project is coming along. The project was going well and you had a Prototype ready to show me when Team rocket attacked. Me and my Daughter Domino fought and kept you safe from the Rocket members outside and were trying to think of how to contact the league to get some people here to get rid of them when Ash Ketchum and Agatha had Showed up. Am i understood?" Giovanni speaks getting Mr Silph to nod his head frantically.

"Yes, of course i understand. Not a word of your involvement with team rocket will leave my lips. I know how you deal with Whistle blowers already." Mr. Silph speaks since all his chairmen were murdered after deciding to go forward with revealing Giovanni's involvement with Team Rocket.

"Good, If it's any consolation I am sorry about having to kill them. I'm not an evil man Mr. Silph. Just a determined one hell bent on seeing to his families protection. You'd do the same for your family in my situation and don't you dare lie about it." Giovanni speaks getting Mr Silph to nod his head knowing in Giovanni's position he too would do what he has done to see to his own families safety.

"Now then, When Ash gets here you will give him the prototype Master ball and anything else that he needs absolutely free do you understand?" Giovanni speaks getting Silph to nod his head.

"Good, This meetings been a long time coming." Giovanni says as he just sits down with one leg resting on top of his other in a rather comfortable chair as if he was waiting. Domino comes out of the bathroom dressed in her normal civvies consisting of a tight short sleeve black undershirt, Thigh high white socks, black sneakers and a denim crop top jacket with a small baseball cap on her head with some pink eye shadow on her eyes and a bit of electric blue lipstick on her lips and a purse on her shoulder.

"Aw is my little girl excited to meet her cousin or is she planning on going on a date?" Giovanni asks getting his little girl to blush deeply.

"Shut up dad! I'm not going on a date i just thought that since i'm meeting family i should look good to make a good first impression." Domino says completely embarrassed as Giovanni sits in the CEO's Chair and turn it around so it's back is to the door.

"Oh don't worry hun i'm sure with how you currently look you'll definitely make a good first impression. But i'm not sure if it's a good kind of first impression." Giovanni says with a smile getting his little girl to pout a bit before huffing and turning her head up at him as she decides to follow her gut knowing what her dad is going to do and drag Mr Silph into the bathroom he has hidden off to the side. Leaving her Father as the only one in the main office. The trio don't have to wait long before the door to the office is opened up and Giovanni merely looks at who's there. Turns out his grunts were Right, His nephew and Agatha of the elite fucking four WERE in the building stomping mud holes in their collective asses making sure to walk them dry. Pretending he didn't know who it was Giovanni spins the chair around like an evil villain from a movie and stands up ready to battle holding a pokeball in his hands.

"You were expecting the CEO of Silphco But it was me GIO!" Giovanni says readying his pokemon before he makes a pose pointing his thumb at himself with a smile.

Seeing who's got up from the chair Agatha and Ash both Brighten up a little bit with happiness and relief but for very different reasons.

"Ah Little Gio, Glad to see someone was here to at least keep Mr. Silph safe. Think you can explain what happened here?" Agatha begins before Giovanni nods and knocks on his desk getting the side bathroom to open up revealing Mr. Silph and Domino.

"Of course Lady Agatha. I was in silphco to pick up some of my property after having funded Silphco's newest prototype in capture technology. I was visiting with my Daughter to pick it up when team rocket attacked. We got word of it before the employee's were all captured. Team rocket tried breaking in here but i kicked their asses enough to get them to leave the room and lock us in here." Giovanni speaks as Mr. Silph collaborates his story nodding his head and even providing details of how Team rocket had murdered his chairmen in the room on the 6th Floor Meeting room which they blocked off and barricaded.

"Hmm they probably got wind of your new capture tech and wanted all the information on it since Team rocket deals in black market theft of trainer pokemon mostly." Agatha speaks as Giovanni nods before looking to Ash with a smile.

"Well are you just going to stand there like a lump on a log or are you gonna come give your Uncle a hug big man?" Giovanni speaks happily opening his arms as Ash races forward hugging his Orange suit clad Uncle.

"WHAT?" Domino and Agatha both speak astonished that Ash was related Giovanni.

"Yup, Domino meet your cousin Ash Ketchum. He's my sisters Son." Giovanni says to his little girl getting Domino to blush a rather deep shade of red at the realization of what she had been doing with the image of Ash the passed few weeks.

"This little one is your Nephew? Arceus, no wonder this little whipper snapper beat those rocket grunts so hard. If he's Delia's son i truly feel sorry for anyone who gets in his way." Agatha says getting Ash to look at Agatha a little confused before also looking to his uncle.

"Lady Agatha, Uncle Gio, what do you mean? What does my mom have to do with any of this?" Ash asks a bit confused.

"Ash that is your mothers secret to tell. Don't worry about it but just know everyone in our family are excellent battlers." Giovanni explained getting Ash as Domino walks over to him and smiles.

"Hi remember me?" Domino asks Ash as he smiles a little bit.

"Yeah i do, Thanks for the advice on going to Brock in pewter. I guess uncle Giovanni was right. Oh also i want you to see someone. Come on out." Ash says calling out Blaziken showing her to Domino. Blaziken merely pops out of her ball ready to fight more rocket grunts until she sees Domino the girl who rubbed under her beak when she was a torchic and had called her really cute.

"Blazeiken, blaze blaze." Blaziken speaks happily as she looks at her. Domino smiles as she looks at Blaziken.

"Oh wow she evolved so fast and got so big. You really are a great train. . .why does she have a scar under her breast?" Domino asks as Both Ash and Blaziken flinch a bit before Ash looks at it. He merely walks over and places his hand on the scar bringing his Blaziken to blush and slightly moan. Ash's hand lightly tracing the scar but also kneading her rather soft breast.

"It happened during a Gym fight against Lt surge. His raichu went against surge's orders and used surf on Blaziken. Blaziken was thrown into a wall and injured pretty badly by a chunk of wood impaling into her chest. Surge didn't mean for it to happen at all and even went to Blaziken to say he was sorry and how it shouldn't have happened. Sadly though, it did happen. It happen and It serves as a reminder to us both that no matter how strong we are. We can't just run in believing that we're unbeatable. It gets you hurt or worse, Killed. Me and Blaziken both know that now and i'm just so happy she's still with me." Ash says with a happy smile not noticing the looks from Agatha, Domino and Giovanni who all just smile. Agatha and Giovanni both thinking something along the same lines.

"Well i'm glad she's okay. It must have been hard for you to see her so badly injured." Domino says before Giovanni wises up and speaks.

"Wait a minute when did you two ever interact?" Giovanni asks a bit confused before Domino turns to her father and blushes a bit as she rubs her head.

"Uh, Daddy this was the boy i told you about when we went to Cinnabar Island while the Gym was being repaired. The one that i uh. . .Mentioned being really handsome and stuff." Domino speaks out rather embarrassed at the implications now only to get Giovanni to begin laughing.

"Oh god that's rich. Oh man, Wait till i tell Delia about this. Her own Niece having the hots for her son. She'll go ballistic haha." Giovanni just slaps his knee while holding his gut as Agatha as well gets a few stiffled laughs in.

"Shut up daddy. It's not like i knew he was my cousin back then anyway." Domino speaks as she lightly slaps at her fathers arm with her purse having the man give the surrender pose while still laughing.

"Well as much as things went to plan for me and Ash we did come here for a reason." Agatha speaks drawing attention to her. Agatha having wondered about the scar also finally has information on it and will colaberate the story with Surge himself but right now is another matter entirely.

"Mr. Silph young Ash Ketchum and I are both in need of one of your ghost detection devices. We need it to solve the mystery surrounding the "Lavender tower murders" as people are calling them. This ghost pokemon is nothing like i've ever seen before as no attacks actually land on it due to it's illusions. With that device we'll both be able to detect where it really is and see through it's illusions. May we both have one?" Agatha asks kindly as Mr. Silph grabs two model A's of the ghost Catching device giving them to his Saviors.

"Oh and which one of you were the one that defeated the rocket grunts in the building?" Mr Silph asks as Agatha smiles a bit.

"Why it was Young Ash here. I was planning on jumping in when he got in over his head but Ash here was able to hold his own even against such insurmountable odds with his pokemon. I didn't even have to really call out my pokemon unless he was going to be hit from behind by reinforcements. And that only happened on the later floors 3 and 6. Of which Young Ash will receive a very handsome reward from the pokemon League and the information will be posted to his trainer information just as his assistance with my investigation will." Agatha speaks as Mr. Silph walks over to the wall safe behind a massive painting of a pokeball.

"Mr Giovanni is it okay if i give your nephew the prototype ball that we had designed? I had planned on giving it to you but i think the notes and blueprints to make them will suffice for now as this deed of beating team rocket and freeing my workers" Mr. Silph exclaims as Giovanni nods to the man.

"Of course it is. I was actually planning on giving it to my nephew in the first place when visiting Celadon." Giovanni says surprising Mr. Silph who just nods and pulls out a rather strange pokeball. The pokeball being white on the bottom but purple on the top with two pink orbs on the top half and a white M on the purple top above the capture button.

"This Mr. Ketchum is the Master ball. It is the most powerful pokeball Silphco has EVER created. It is guaranteed to capture any pokemon in existence. Honestly we're pretty sure it can even capture humans but never tested that out. So just to be safe don't go throwing it at people." Mr. Silph half jokes as he hands the ball over to Ash who smiles.

"Wow, I didn't fight team rocket to get a reward. I just did it cause it was the right thing to do." Ash speaks having Mr. Silph smile at the boy wondering just how he could ever be related to such a monster as Giovanni.

"It's fine my boy. Take the ball and remember it is the only one of it's kind. Please take care and i hope the investigation goes well." Mr. Silph says with a happy wave as Agatha and Ash both leave the office and building about 10 minutes Mr. Silph looks towards Giovanni who already has switched back to his emotionless persona.

"I hope you know, That child and your sister deserve far better than you two for family. That boy is so bright and cheerful and even has a good head on his shoulders despite his relation to you. I hope they find out about what you're doing and stop you." Mr. Silph says as he hands over the Blueprints to the Master ball over to Giovanni who sneers at him and takes the papers.

"I plan on that happening you overweight man child. You don't think my family deserves better than me? I know they deserve better. But nothing will stop me from securing the safety of my sister, Her son and my daughter. Even if it means that i DIE!" Giovanni says looking at silph who just begins sweating.

"Also my daughter didn't choose to join Team Rocket. I forced it upon her so that she would know the darkness that is the criminal world. I'm training her to take over my company and my Team upon either my death or defeat so that she may use what she learns to DESTROY ALL OTHER TEAMS! I may be a monster to you Silph but i am still a family man and as a family man i don't care what obstacle gets in my way. I will crush it underfoot as i see fit to ensure that family gets all that it needs to be happy and safe just as you do for your own little girl with the money i funded to you to get you this entire company. Our dealings are done Mr. Silph. I'm sorry about your Chairman trying that coup de' ta and kidnapping your daughter. Team rocket will willingly take the blame for their murders as a plan to "Sabotage" the Silphco Image. This is the last you will ever see of us. Enjoy your life Mr silph. If you know whats good for you. You'll take all information regarding me, My family and Ash to your fucking grave. If not we will have dealings again.' Giovanni speaks forbiddingly as He turns to leave the office only to stop and speak one more time.

"Believe me if you speak on any of this or our past dealings, the last memory you'll have wont be of the good deed you did by outing me as the mastermind behind all of team rocket. No your last memory will be of the flies buzzing around your rotting corpse wherever i decide your useless flesh is to be dumped." Giovanni says darkly getting Mr. Silph to nod praying to Arceus that his dealings with Giovanni never come to light.

(Lavender tower 5th floor 4:00 PM)

The limo ride back to the tower wasn't anything too special for Agatha or Ash. Ash is still holding the Master ball in his hand with a smile knowing he was trusted with this device makes him smile a little bit. He sighs and puts the ball away and gets his head back in the game. Having fought all the pokemon in the tower to this point was pretty good training for his pokemon. Gardevoir especially being useful as he Psychic attacks were Devastating to the ghosts of the tower. Going up to the 6th floor Ash and Agatha get ready or anything that could possibly happen. However what surprises them is the fact that a ghostly Marrowhack had been the one causing such a ruckus in the tower. An actual ghost and not just a ghost type Pokemon. Agatha was understandably giddy with excitement as was Ash having been able to record the whole event on his X-transceiver as proof. How ever Even after the Marrowhack was cleansed Certain illusions remained so Ash and Agatha continued onward until Ash's attention was drawn elsewhere.

"Lady Agatha do you see those weird glowing things on the far wall to the left? Behind the statue of Giratina?" Ash asks only to get Agatha to stop and look at Ash a bit confused.

"What do you mean, Weird glowing things?" Agatha asks a bit skeptical not seeing anything there.

"Well like these weird Symbols are all over the place over there at the statue. I can kind of read it." Ash asks pointing to what looks like nothing and walking over to it and placing his hand on the wall looking to be trying to read it un-knowing of what danger he now puts himself in.

"Bearer of the power few, The chosen one, Enter here and claim your Birthright. Speak the words of legend and bear witness to the very pillars of creation piercing the sky. Bridge the gap between the known and the Unown. Come forth and face the champion of ghosts." Ash speaks as his hand and body soon phase through the wall leading him to fall onto his front. Turning around and standing up Ash tries going back through where he fell only to find a solid wall blocking his path. Lights coming into view showing the same strange symbols.

"To return you must defeat the champion of Ghosts. A ghost in a shell needing to be broken. Great. . .stupid mystical tower, Stupid symbols trapping me. I'm even stupider though. What kind of idiot just begins reading things only he can see." Ash says not seeing any way out of this besides going up the stairs in front of him. Sighing and resigning to his fate Ash walks up the stairs not knowing that Agatha is bashing her aged hands on the wall he phased through in an attempt to try and get it to open and release her charge. Agatha sighs knowing that Giratina's tower has taken Ash for a greater Purpose. Being a mistress of ghosts she has had dealings with the dark one herself knowing just what that could entail. Agatha merely sits down with her ghost pokemon in a half circle facing her to try and commune with Giratina.

Ash soon comes upon a rather large temple like room with shrines with many different statues all depicting different legendaries with special items before them on a pedestal all the items on the pedestal are stone . One for Kyogre and Groudon the water and land Legendaries. One each for the Three legendary birds and even a staggering 16 plate like objects depicted floating around Arceus. Ash comes upon the main Statue One of Giratina in all her glory depicted as she is inside her own world the distortion. In front of Giratina is a pedestal on which rest an orb. An orb small enough to fit in the palm of ones hand only the inside of the orb is swirling around as if it was a maelstrom of power all spiraling towards the glowing purple core of the object.

Ash looks around knowing he must be in some ancient part of the tower not discovered before. Ash looks at the object sitting on the pedestal and merely reaches out to touch it only to be stopped as a black orb nearly takes his head off. Ash realizing it's a warning shot pulls his hand away from the object and looks over to where the ball flew from to get a look at what just attacked him.

Looking at him now is a rather imposing figure. Floating above Ash is a pokemon he has never seen before. This Pokémon has several golden zippers all over it's body. One closed zipper across where it's mouth should be One running diagonally across its face, one on each hand and another on its body. The first zipper runs from its left eye to the tip of its central spike. The other three are all unzipped, revealing parts of the pokemons strange, cursed purple body. It has three long somewhat erect long purple fingers and body revealing two pointed, purple legs are visible. A strange zigzagging ribbon that shows to be somewhat erect, and now has two zipper rings around it and a short zipper on the tip. It has four additional spikes one on the top and bottom of each hand and one on each hip. Ash quickly pulls out his Pokedex Lexi and scans the pokemon in front of him hoping it might have information on his newest opponent.

"Mega-Banette the Marioette Pokemon.

A cursed energy permeated the stuffing of a discarded and forgotten plush doll, giving it new life as Banette. It lays curses on others by using its body as a voodoo doll and sticking pins into itself hard and deep.It is said that treating a Banette with enough love and care will satisfy whatever grudge it holds. When Mega-Evolved, as is the case now, Mega-Banette it is filled with so much dark power and vindictiveness it cannot help cursing its Trainer accidentally.

This Mega-Banette is Level 55, has the ability Prankster. This Mega-Banette has a Jolly Nature. Mega-Banette currently holds the Seal Tag Item doubling the damage of any ghost type moves in it's moveset. This Mega-Banette knows the moves: Shadow Sneak, Hex, Will-o-wisp, Endure, Curse, Grudge, Nightmare, Torment, Shadow ball, Shadow Claw, Toxic, taunt, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Dazzling Gleam, Attract, Destiny bond, Psychic and Ominous Wind. It knows the Egg moves Phantom Force and Nightshade." Lexi speaks out revealing the info to Ash.

Ash for his part is stunned. This Banette is sure to be strong as it's done something he didn't even know existed until Diantha had told him about it. The Banette appears to be drawing on power from the orb just below it. Mega-Banette's eyes Narrow at Ash as it gets ready to fight.

Ash calls out Zoroark to battle having her roar as loud as she can to intimidate the Mega-banette in front of them. Suddenly the eyes on the statue of Giratina light up as a heavenly, booming voice speaks.

"The divine lights are blazing, Go wild!"

"Zoroark Quick use double team and charge forward with a shadow claw" Ash commands Zoroark who feels the very darkness in the air splitting her image into mutliple copies before racing forward and using her dark glowing talons to strike at the Mega-Banette. Zoroarks strikes going in a pattern of left downward, right downward, left downward, right downward, horizontal. Mega-Banette easily dodging them all and hitting Zoroark from behind with a quick Shadow Sneak attack nailing Zoroark in the back.

Mega-Banette Acting quickly spits out a blob of toxic before floating forward quickly and striking her with her own Shadow Claw sending Zoroark back towards Ash. Mega-Banette follows up immediately with two Shadow balls hurling them one after the other.

Zoroark easily dodges the attacks as Ash speaks up.

"Zoroark quick Shadow ball and dark pulse Follow up with a point blank Night slashes GO!" Ash orders as Zoroark roars out in confirmation hurling both the attacks at Mega-Banette. Mega-Banette Dodging the Dark Pulse only grab the shadow ball with Psychic and hurl it at Zoroark who thinking quickly ducks under the reversed attack and strikes Mega-Banette square in the leg with a Night Slash leaving the pokemon open as Zoroark strikes with more Night slashes. One from the right, a curved strike from the left directly into the Mega-Banette's Chest sending the poor pokemon flying backwards.

Mega-Banette Slams into an Invisible wall before reacting quickly and hurling a spinning Will o Wisp and Shadow ball at Zoroark. Zoroark taking the will o wisp to the leg is burned slightly only to be hit by the Shadow ball into the slick and sticky Sludge that was the Mega-Banette's toxic attack. Zoroark momentarily stunned uses a point blank Shadow claw on Zoroark sending the poor pokemon twirling through the air.

"Zoroark Shadow ball then follow it up with Sucker punch." Ash yells out worried for his pokemon that something like with Blaziken will happen. Zoroark, hearing her love call out her orders rights herself in the air mid flight and hurls down a quick shadow ball forcing Mega-Banette to dodge roll forward to dodge the attack. Banette seeing Zoroark heading straight for her charges and fires a quick shadow ball only to see Zoroark shimmer out sight only to feel a strong blow land on her back smashing her into the invisible wall once more.

"Zoroark quick, Sword dance and shadow claw NOW!" Ash yells out as Zoroark smiles at her trainer who's obviously getting into the battle enough to be this ruthless. Zoroark quickly calls out a circle of dancing swords around her before roaring loud and charging forward with her claws glowing purple.

Mega-Banette turns around and faces the Zoroark who's already up infront of her and takes several consecutive strikes to her chest and stomach from her opponents multiple shadow claws. Mega-Banette quickly uses Shadow Sneak and strikes Zoroark from the back and follows up with three point blank shadow balls. One from both hands and one charged from it's mouth each shadow ball landing blows on zoroark spinning her like a top.

"Zoroark quick, Night slash followed by Giga impact. Finish up with a rolling Shadow claw attack. " Ash calls out Having Zoroarks eyes go feral as her blood is pumping. Her heart racing with excitement at the battle in front of her. This Pokemon infront of her is definitely worthy of her lover Ash to be his pokemon.

Zoroark uses her spinning to gain power for her Night slash striking Mega-Banette in her other leg before landing a massive Giga Impact on Mega-Banette's Chin sending the poor Pokemon hurling through the air Zoroark Jumps after the Mega-Banette and Begins front rolling like a phanfy with her claws out and glowing turning into a wheel of purple death striking her opponent multiple times with Shadow Claw on the way to the ground.

"Zoroark quick use Double team and run in circles around Mega-Banette. Use your own judgement on attacks from there girl i trust you." Ash calls out as Zoroark does just that and causes the multiple copies of herself to appear in a circle around the Mega-Banette who begins dodging the countless shadow claws and Night slashes sent her way. Mega-Banette just draws upon more energy from the orb on the pedestal and both her and Zoroark glow a bright blue before Mega-Banette's mouth zipper opens up and calls forth Phantom force as Zoroark up close and personal gets one massive giga impact. Both attacks land at the same exact time causing a massive explosion to ring out kicking up dust and debris that covers the field the two were fighting in.

Soon the dust settles and standing above a downed figure is Mega-Banette. Beaten and worse for wear but still standing. Ash sees his Zoroark is out cold but she has a smile on her face and Ash just smiles happy he could get her a good fight before calling Zoroark back into her ball. Grabbing Gardevoirs special Love ball he calls her forth. The powerful Psychic type pokemon's eyes glowing blue as Ash looks at Mega-Banette.

"You gave a good fight Mega-Banette. Zoroark loved it. But this is where you lose. Gardevoir, Psychic." Ash calls out as Gardevoir smiles and nods holding out her hand as Mega-Banette glows blue and becomes unable to act. Gardevoir smirks and waves bye to the pokemon with her free hand before slamming Mega-Banette into nearly every visible wall around the battle field with such speed and ferocity it the very tower itself begins shaking as if an earthquake is rocking it. The poor Mega-Banette's eyes turning to swirls from the disorientation it is feeling until finally it is smashed into the floor unconscious as it reverts to the form of a normal Banette.

(Que song end Gang Plank Galeon (Final Boss Cover/Remix) By MattashiOldAccount)

The last smash into the floor causes the pedestal holding the orb to crack and causing the orb to fall to the floor and bounce a few times. The statue of Giratina glows an Ominous purple and black aura coating the orb wit hit before the dark orb rolls into banette's head phasing into the pokemon's body as if the pokemon absorbed the orb.

Ash and Gardevoir both scurry over to the ghost pokemon to see if the Banette was okay only to see the Banette before them glow white and return to her Mega-Banette form even unconscious. Looking at Mega-Banette Ash gets worried something might have happened Never Noticing that the Giratina statues eyes are still glowing as if watching the entire scene play out.

"Mega-Banette are you okay girl? Please talk to me. Do you feel okay?" Ash asks the poor pokemon after using a mega potion on her to heal her enough to wake up. Mega-Banette opens it's eyes slowly only to see the Trainer that just trounsed her caring for her broken self. Her old Owner never did anything like that when she was a doll. After one simple tear in her stitching she was tossed into the garbage. Mega-Banette looking at this trainer dote on her and check on her to see if she was okay brings her to smile. Mega-Banette just nods her head in the affirmative that she feels just fine.

Mega-Banette floats up and looks at Ash before pointing to where the pedestal was speaking her name trying to explain that Ash may freely take the Dark Orb for himself. Only to see that the pedestal is broke and the orb is gone. Looking around Mega-Banette begins panicking that she had failed her mistress Giratina only to see Ash grab hold of her and look her directly in the eyes.

" Mega-Banette please calm down. It's okay, The orb fell when the pedestal broke. It bounced a little and rolled into you and phased into your body. The orb kinda disappeared after that and i think you're now stuck like you are now." Ash explains as he brings up his pokedex Lexi and takes a picture of Mega-Banette showing it to her.

Mega-Banette is truly stunned by this and looks at the statue of Giratina who's eyes are still glowing knowing what this means. She was chosen by Giratina for her loyalty to house the power of the dark orb and if she wanted to gain her freedom. Mega-Banette looks at Ash and sees that he's still a little worried about this even going so far as to personally look over her body and feel her all over. His gentle hands gliding over her cursed bare flesh. His fingers lightly sinking into her c cup breasts as they soon slide across them. Mega-Banette blushes deeply as Ash unknowingly fondles them and having his hand glide down to her nethers rubbing her inner thighs. Mega-Banette quickly gains her senses and jumps back embarrassed and holding herself with her eyes closed as her face is tinted deep with her embarrassment.

"I'm sorry girl i didn't mean to hurt you please don't be scared. Are you sure you're okay? I don't think i could live with myself if i hurt such a beautiful pokemon like you. Really i hope you're not hurt." Ash says as Mega-Banette looks at him and nods. Turning to the statue of the Giratina Mega-Banette sees it's eyes still g lowing and points for the stairs where Ash had originally came from before calling out.

"Ban, Banette, Ban ban Banette Ette Et Banette." Mega-Banette says getting ash to nod some and smile.

"The way back is open huh? Well okay than. Please Banette take care of yourself. I don't want you getting hurt. That battle we had was fun. We should do it again sometime. Please take care." Ash says leaving without much word as Mega-Banette floats over to the statue of her mistress and begins speaking as if it can hear her.

Back at the staircase Ash had gone down the wall still there but Ash could see the outline for a doorway in front of him and soon phases through it like he was a ghost walking clean to the other side with Gardevoir right behind him. Agatha quickly races forward asking what happened and ash Gives a summary on his battle and the happening with the orb. The wall still not revealing itself as a doorway for anyone but Ash as Agatha still can not see the entrance. Ash pulls out his X-Tranceiver and shows the recording of his fight proving his claims. Seeing the fight with the Banette gets Agatha pumped and happy as she sees all the moves the pokemon use when trading blows one after the other with each other. The battle was truly an intense one. Plus the fact that Gardevoir came into play at the end their was pretty uncomfortable to watch as the Mega-Banette was smashed between the walls, ceiling and floor as if it were a rag-doll in such quick succession. Seeing the recording stopped their Agatha smiles.

"Well Ash i do have to say, That was one of if not the most intense Pokemon battle i have ever seen. I'll need a recording of it myself to give to the Pokemon league as you beating that Banette actually fixed the illusions in the tower. I don't think any more people will be seeing murders happening any time soon. Turns out the people that were missing from the murders were induced into a psychic coma that broke when that Banette went unconscious. Case closed i guess. I'm Guessing you captured it?" Agatha asks as Ash shakes his head.

"No i didn't. As much as i would have liked to. Banette belongs here in the tower. It's her home and she was probably defending it from the people who were getting to close to her shrine. They were construction workers who were trying to reinforce the tower weren't they?" Ash asks getting Agatha to smile and nod.

"Yes indeed they were. So the Banette was protecting her home and sacred chamber huh? I can leave that shrine part out as it's obviously important to the ghosts of this tower. Thank you for your help Mr. Ketchum i hope we can meet again sometime soon. I know i'll be telling the other Elite four members of the young boy who will surly be one to watch going forward in his journey." Agatha says with a smile as Gardevoir nods happily.

"Alright, Lady Agatha this w as really fun. I hope we can meet again soon. Here's my X-transceiver number. You can call me up from any video phone you want and we can chat and talk all you want. I can even make it so you can talk to my mother to if you want." Ash says as Agatha takes his number down and smiles.

"Thank you Ash, It's been a long while since i've seen your mother Delia." Agatha says as Both she and Ash leave the tower together greeted by the people Ash had inadvertantly saved by defeating Banette. The workers all thanking them both for what they have done before leaving to go home deciding living was more important than trying to add on to the tower.

Ash is soon met my Diantha and Cynthia both champions smile at him and race forward surprising Agatha who sees them both having though they left to their respective regions weeks ago. Ash smiles some at both of them before hugging them tightly.

"Hi Girls i hope your day was as eventful as mine. Cynthia how'd your information gathering go? Diantha did you find a new restaurant location to use?" Ash asks them both as Gardevoir runs up to Diantha and transfers her memories of the day to her Making Diantha gasp and smile at Ash.

"Never mind us Ash why don't you tell us how your day was. Gardevoir literally just gave me all her memories of the day. Take Zoroark to the Pokemon Center and we'll meet you there." Diantha says as Ash nods and races off to get Zoroark healed up. As Ash disappears Cynthia turns to Agatha as does Diantha.

"So. . . do you mind explaining why 2 very powerful champions of separate regions are travelling with a new by trainer?" Agatha asks in an inquisitive way knowing Lance would love to be here right now to try and flirt with these two.

"Well you see about that." Diantha begins as Cynthia continues.

"Ash doesn't know that we're champions of our own Regions of Hoenn and Kalos. He just thinks we're normal trainers who were visiting his home and we asked him to be our tour guide. Diantha is scouting out for mega evolution stones and Key stones while I am looking for ruins and ancient structures and stories that dot Kanto since it's ripe with so many wondrous things that have yet to be documented. Ash knows nearly everything about his home region. It's honestly scary." Cynthia says rubbing the back of her head.

"Okay, but what was with that hug? You two have NEVER let any man of any age so much as get a hand shake from you but you hugged Ash as you would each other. Do the two older champions have a crush on such a young stud?" Agatha teases them both.

"Well i'm not gonna lie. We both do like him. He is just the kind of guy that can make all your problems go away with nothing but a smile. It helps that he's not like most men being complete assholes and meatheads. He just has this Aura that puts you at ease. Plus he's a good cook, A caring guy and he will do anything for his friends. Heck i bet he's already talking to Juniper right now telling her about the day he's had. Hell i'm pretty sure any girl Ash talks to will say that they like him." Diantha says her blush making Agatha smile at them both shaking her head.

"Well that much is so true about his presence being calming and being so kind. He even cared for the Banette that was injured by your gardevoir. Now i can tell you don't want Ash to know about either of you being champions but he's going to find out soon. You better tell him yourself. Also do you know who his mother is?" Agatha asks getting both Diantha and Cynthia to shake their heads at Agatha who only begins laughing.

"My my my, wont you be surprised. When you see her tell her that Agatha says hello. In the mean time i have to go and log my report about the lavender tower to the league. Enjoy your time with Ash girls. It will end soon due to you having to be the visiting champions for the indigo league. Lance and bruno not to mention Blaine will all be going after you again. If you don't tell Ash about yourselves soon. You know he'll feel betrayed if he finds out at the indigo league." Agatha leaves after saying her peace and chuckles a little bit as she leaves.

Cynthia and Diantha sigh knowing that Agatha is speaking the truth. They sigh and make their way to the pokemon center. Cynthia and Diantha both decide they need to tell Ash but not until he beats Sabrina. Something like their status might throw him off his gane a little bit. They both smile as Ash comes up to them with smile and shows them the video of his battle with the Banette. Both girls being really proud of him and his skill that he displayed. Ash begins talking about how he sent the video to his mother and Juniper knowing one of them would show Professor Oak. Diantha and Cynthia both a little too distracted by the thought of losing Ash's friendship by lying to him like this for so long.

"So how was your day girls?" Ash asks a bit happy but wanting to know what kind of day they were having.

"We both had a rather fun day. Diantha found a spot that overlooks the ocean just right for a haunted cafe as the way the sun and moon light will bounce off the waves gives off a very pleasing vibe for those who like horror. The winding and elongated shadows really set the spooky mood. I got a lot of local lore and stories that you already told me about but got them more in detail. Even one crazy old guy speaking about an old legend of the towers around the world like here in Kanto having the lavender tower and Hoenn having the Sky Pillar all being part of a set of bridges connecting the alternate universe of the reverse world and our world together only to be forever severed by the chosen one of Arceus and Giratina to save the world. Honestly it was such fun hearing them all." Cynthia speaks only to smile as Ash looks at her.

"Yeah i know that one. It's an old legend passed down here in Kanto. Legend tells of a kingdom so powerful and prosperous that it was the envy of the ancient world. So advanced was the tech that even long distances such as oceans were mere stepping stones to them. The other nations growing jealous of the tech and power tricked the ancient kingdom into a war against it's own people. Pokemon and human alike fought and killed one another like cattle for many many years. The fighting however soon spread world wide and the kingdom activated it's last resort weapon. A weapon so powerful it split the universe in two wiping nearly all life from existence. In one world the place is a complete and utter chaos storm of violence and destruction. In the other, Our world, Things are relatively peaceful. The one world where constant fighting is held has been said to hold maniacs and insane legendary pokemon who wish only to bring the towers together and merge the worlds so that they may be destroyed. Since now the two only being connected by the towers left by the ancient kingdoms around the world worshipers of the legendary pokemon from that alternate universe wish to once again split the universe in twain by connecting our worlds and splitting it again so that they may be the universe that knows peace. It's said that if all the towers are activated by a chosen champion of all Legendaries. The towers when destroyed will sever the link between both worlds leaving them as they are. It was said the event also left stones of power scattered across the other world giving pokemon and humans power beyond measure and only in the Area around Lavender tower, that being Kanto, since it's so saturated with dark and vile energies was said to also house these stones. It's like a fairy tale you tell kids when they're young so they know that lying is bad for them and others and you shouldn't trust everyone you meet because they might just be hiding something." Ash says as he remembers hearing the story from his father and mother telling it to him when he was little.

"Oh wow, thats. . .kinda spooky. Because it seems like the stones talked about in that fairy tale are the Mega stones and Key stones. They give both the trainer and pokemon immense power when the trust and love they share manages to overcome even the greatest of turmoils." Cynthia speaks as she jots down the legend Ash spoke.

"Yeah it's really . . .Uh. . Girls you might wanna look behind you." Ash says as Both Diantha and Cynthia look behind themselves to find a rather dark and imposing figure standing behind them levitating their bags.

Ash looking at the figure smiles happily as he races forward only to have the figure tackle him to the ground crying. In Ash's arms is the Mega-Banette who has in it's hand one of Cynthia's Moon balls. Banette looks at Ash and smiles some.

"Hi Banette i knew you'd be excited to have me visit for a rematch but why aren't you in your tower?" Ash asks the banette who merely looks down and uses Psychic on him to send flashes of memories into him. The memories show the glowing eyed Statue and a booming female voice the same one calling out before their match to go find the boy and join him. Ash looks at Banette who seems a little worried about whether he will accept or not.

"So you wanna come with me huh? Is it because you were ordered or is it because you actually like me? Because i wont force you to do anything you don't want to do." Ash speaks only to have the Banette shut him up with a kiss. Her zipper opening up to reveal her cursed fleshy lips as they press into his own. Ash blushes deeply at the forwardness of this pokemon only to see the Mega-Banette zip up it's mouth and call out it's name happily and hand him the Moon ball it stole from Cynthia and push the capture button. After a few dings the Ball stops shaking and Ash's pokedex registers his Mega-Banette to the roster.

Ash stunned by this development just looks at his two companions for any in put they may ahve only to see them shrug their shoulders at the banette's actions. Ash just smiles and rubs the Moon ball softly before speaking.

"Welcome to the family Mega-Banette. I really hope you like it here with us all. Well girls it seems we don't need to go to the tower tomorrow as i already caught a really powerful and pretty ghost pokemon. Sabrina better watch out. Because i'm gonna train with Mega-Banette enough to end sabrina's true undefeated streak. She hasn't been beaten in over 10 years. Her badge is so hard to earn that trainers have stopped going to her for battles and simply stop at the fighters Dojo Gym instead to pass. Sabrina turned her Gym into a school for Psychics and Empaths of any kind so that they may hone their skills by learning from her. She still battles losers and idiots who think they're top shit and proclaim as much until she beats them. I really need to up my game. Think you two can help me also?" Ash asks getting Diantha and Cynthia to merely look at one another before nodding at each other.

"Okay we'll help you but you have to give us something in return." Cynthia says as Diantha just blushes a little bit.

"Sure i'll give you what ever you want. If i can get it that is." Ash says only to be surprised as Cynthia and Delia both take turns giving him a rather deep kiss on his lips surprising the boy they had been traveling with for the passed month.

"Ash, we want you to know that we are very proud to call you our friend and that if we do keep something from you, it's only because we fear what you may think of us. Both of us have come to care for you these passed month in a half. We just hope that when we tell you what we do you wont hate us or get angry. Thats all we want from you." Diantha says as Ash just smiles and hugs both girls back gently rubbing their backs.

"Don't worry girls, I would never come to hate you for any reason at all. Even if you were to say you're the leaders of team rocket i'd just say i'm disappointed in you for it. I could however never bring myself to hate either of you. You can tell me anything. I'll always be there for you." Ash says shocking both Champions who begin to cry silently into Ash's shoulders knowing that they had truly found a once in a lifetime friend they would never want to lose. A one of a kind person who loves all and is just so nice he can't help but even write and keep in contact with people directly even if it's an inconvenience to himself since just a simple text or email seems far too impersonal. Both girls just hold Ash till the sun goes down and all three sleep on the one king size bed in the room as the moon rises high into the sky as the three travel companions dream very different dreams to away the next light of morning.
