Chapter 46: Gaining Information

Disclaimer: i don't own Pokemon or created Pokemon Reborn

Solaris is sitting behind his desk watching footage on his computer, that Elias send him from the battle when Ash battled Serra and the battled Elias and Ash had.

He was impressed by Ash's Pokemon being able to deal with El's 'God'. But he was surprised when he saw a Greninja interfering the battle and transformed during the battle.

Solaris noticed that Greninja now looked bit like Ash.

"Ash Ketchum a trainer unlike any I've encounter before, he is quite troubling. And all of his Pokemon are well trained. But it seems that his Pikachu, Charizard, Sceptile, Infernape, Krookodile, Greninja, Lycanroc and Melmetal are even more powerful." Solaris thought to himself as he interlocked his fingers and covered his, chin and mouth with them.

Solaris watched footage of all of Ash's battles in all of the leagues he's been, from the Indigo Plateau to Alola.

He researched everything about Ash, how his received his starter, who was a Pikachu from Professor Oak.

How his Charizard didn't listen to him in the Indigo Plateau. Him winning the Orange Island League.

In the Johto League how he's Charizard that now listened to him barely lost against Harrison's Blaziken.

In Hoenn his Pikachu barely lost against Tyson's Meowth that is wearing boots and a hat. Conquering the Battle Frontier, which Solaris has to admit is quite impressive considering who the strongest Frontier Brain is.

In Sinnoh he was annihilated by a trainer called Tobias who has a Darkrai and a Latios who Ash's Sceptile defeated Darkrai and his Pikachu tied with Latios which is something that no ordinary trainer can do.

He was very disappointed when he saw Ash's lost in the Unova League when he was up against a trainer that who in Solaris's eyes is nothing, but even more disappointed when he saw him defeating Ash with only five Pokemon while Ash used six.

In Kalos however his opinions on Ash improved, he saw without a doubt that is Kalos team is one of the strongest team he has. With his Greninja defeating all three of Ash's first round opponent. Greninja defeating a Mega Sceptile without too much trouble. But barely lost against a trainer called Alain with a Mega Charizard X.

In Alola he defeated Hau's Decidueye with a Rowlet, he defeated Guzuma's Golisopod with Pikachu Gladion's Midnight Lycanroc with his Dusk Lycanroc. His Pikachu lost to Sun's Decidueye but he only lost due to Sun's tactics, but his Pikachu won against Tapu Koko.

Right now, he was more focused on his Infernape, due to his Garchomp wanting revenge and his Greninja that can transform.

After digging around he learned that during his Sinnoh journey he caught Infernape and he caught Greninja in Kalos and they both had interactions with the champions of their regions.

As well as that a Greninja had a mysterious power protected a village when ninjas were at war with each other.

Melmetal was a Pokemon discovered by Professor Oak in Alola after a bunch of Meltan's merged into one and Professor Kukui battled it with his Empoleon but lost badly.

He also learned that a trainer called Sun defeated Ash in the Alolan League final. Both Sun and Ash got to battle the Masked Royal who revealed to be that Region's Professor and they both won against him.

"Cynthia Champion of Sinnoh and Diantha Champion of Kalos." Solaris said out loud before standing up and walking out of his office with the intention of finding these people.

As he walked down the hallway, "I've never seen getting wo worked up over something so nonsensical." A female voiced explained making Solaris turn, saw Lin and narrowed his eyes into a dangerous glare.

"I'd watched your tone if I were you." Solaris replied not afraid of Lin.

Lin in response narrowed her eyes, "Where exactly are you going?"

"Here!" Solaris showed Lin footages of Ash's Infernape going wild defeating his Garchomp and his Greninja defeating Elias's 'Arceus', "I'm going to acquire some information about Ash, that way I'll be ready." Solaris explained.

Lin narrowed her eyes even more as the two glared at each other for what seemed like an eternity until Lin turned around.

"So long as you complete your assessments, I don't care what you do otherwise." Lin explained before walking away.

Once she was gone Solaris narrowed his eyes even more, "Don't get the wrong idea. I'm the founder of Team Meteor, you forced your way to the top, that's all." Solaris thought to himself before turning and walking away.

In Sinnoh

Cynthia Champion is looking at the remains of some ruins that had said to be a placed dedicated to the Lake Guardians, Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie. Because even to this day they barely know anything about the Lake Guardians

"Hmmm, how interesting." Cynthia said to herself as she monitored the wall paintings.

Soon her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a helicopter sound. She ran outside and saw a black helicopter landing on the ground with Solaris on the side of it.

Once the helicopter landed Solaris got out and faced Cynthia, "Cynthia Shirona the Sinnoh region Champion." Solaris addressed her.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes at the tone this man is using, "Who are you?" Cynthia asked.

"My name is Solaris and I've come for information." Solaris answered in demanding tone.

Cynthia narrowed her eyes at the tone he was using, "If you want information about these ruins, it will be opened to the pub-"

"I have no interest in this place." Solaris interrupted Cynthia making her eyes narrow even more.

"Then what information are you after?"

"A trainer named Ash Ketchum."

Cynthia's eyes widen slightly when she heard that name, "What does this man want with Ash?" Cynthia thought to herself, "What do you want with him?"

"My Garchomp lost quite badly to his Infernape. And he wants revenge, so I've come to you for some information."

Cynthia narrowed her eyes again, "I feel like he isn't telling me everything." Cynthia thought to herself.

Solaris noticed her expression, "By your expression, you aren't going to tell me what I want to know. But I have ways to make you talk." Solaris revealed a Poke Ball.

Cynthia got the message and nodded in response, "One-on-one. Last one standing wins." Cynthia nodded to that.

"Garchomp shine on!" Cynthia released partner in the air, before she landed on the ground and roared.

"Go!" Solaris released his Garchomp who appeared on the ground, raised his head and roared even louder than Cynthia's.

Solaris's Garchomp snapped his head down and snarled at his opponents.

Cynthia gasped when she saw the look in his Garchomp's eyes, she can tell by the amount of battle experience this Garchomp has and something else that she can't put her finger on.

Cynthia dropped her shocked expression and got into a battle stance, "I don't what he's after, but I'm gonna make sure he doesn't get it." Cynthia thought to herself, "Garchomp Dragon Rush!"

Cynthia's Garchomp roared as she leaped and flew towards her opponent with her body surrounded by light blue dragon energy.

"Dragon Rush."

Solaris's Garchomp leaped and flew forwards with his body surrounded by the same dragon energy.

The two slammed into each other creating light blue shockwaves before an explosion happened and with smoke engulfing the pair.

After a moment Cynthia's Garchomp was sent flying out of the smoke with bruises on her body and crashed on her back in front of her trainer.

"Garchomp!" Cynthia shouted in concern.

Her Garchomp slowly got back on her feet and let out a loud roar.

When the smoke died down it revealed Solaris's Garchomp standing where they collided with no injuries on him.

Cynthia was surprised by this, "There's no damage at all?!" Cynthia thought to herself.

"Is this the limit of the Champion's abilities?" Solaris questioned making Cynthia scoff softly by that.

"We'll you show we're made of!"

"Gar!" Cynthia's Garchomp roared in agreement.

"Garchomp use Brick Break!"

Cynthia's Garchomp's right claw glowed brown and flew towards her opponent.

"Block it."

When Cynthia's Garchomp swung her right claw downwards, Solaris's Garchomp's raised his arms in front of his face, making Cynthia's Garchomp slam her attack against them and slam his feet go underneath the ground slightly.

"Now use Draco Meteor!"

Cynthia's Garchomp flew away as she cancelled her attack and landed in front of her trainer with Solaris's Garchomp lowered his arms.

Her body surrounded itself in orange energy, opened her mouth, turned upwards, fired an orange energy sphere in the sky which soon burst, and meteors flew out of it with the majority heading towards Solaris's Garchomp.

Solaris and his Garchomp merely watched as the meteors slammed into him creating multiple explosion when they slammed on the ground as well as into him and engulfed him in smoke.

Cynthia and her Garchomp stared at the smoke trying to see what happened.

Soon the smoke died down it revealed Solaris's standing with only a few scorch marks, but they were minor.

Cynthia and her Garchomp were shocked by this, "H-how?" Cynthia asked.

"When you were born and trained in one of the toughest and harshest region in the world. Let me show you, just how inferior you are. Use Stone Edge."

Solaris's slammed his right claw into the ground making blue energy boulders shoot up from underground and headed towards Cynthia's.

"Dodge it!"

Cynthia's flew upwards avoiding the Stone Edge, but when she directed her gaze back to her opponents Solaris's Garchomp was right in front of her casting a death glare at her.

"Fire Fang." Garchomp's mouth became engulfed in fire, opened his mouth, before slamming it shut on Cynthia's Garchomp's head creating an explosion and making her roar in pain.

"Garchomp!" Cynthia shouted in concern.

"Finish this with Dragon Rush."

Solaris's swung his head to the right releasing Cynthia's, tossing her, before he turned back, with his body surrounded by light blue dragon energy and flew towards her.

He slammed his head into Cynthia's Garchomp heading downwards and slammed her into the ground creating an explosion with Solaris's Garchomp flying out of the smoke.

"Garchomp!"

Soon the smoke died down revealing a crater, with smoke coming from it. Cynthia ran to it, stopped on the edge, saw her Garchomp lying on her back with bad scorch marks and unconscious.

"Garchomp!"

Cynthia slid down the crater, ran to her Garchomp, bent down, lifted her head but she was out cold.

Cynthia was lost in thought she didn't hear Solaris walking towards them. Cynthia turned and saw Solaris looking down at them, "I win, now tell me."

Cynthia didn't want to tell this man about Ash, but she agreed so she told Solaris about his Infernape, how it belonged to a trainer named Paul.

Once she was done Solaris didn't say anything but turned and walked towards his helicopter.

The Helicopter took off leaving the Sinnoh Champion and her unconscious partner.

"Ash I don't know what you've done but be careful this man is dangerous." Cynthia thought to herself before she returned Garchomp and headed towards a Pokemon Centre.

In Kalos

Diantha was in the Ninja Village who was in the shrine dedicated to the hero Greninja who protected the Village with the Village Chief Ippei, Professor Sycamore and Alain. Professor Sycamore was interested in learning where the Greninja obtained his power, which Diantha was also interested.

They were talking with each other until, "IPPEI!" Two voices shouted making all four turn and saw Sanpei and Nihei running towards them.

"What's wrong?" Ippei asked.

"A helicopter suddenly landed in the village, a man is demanding to see you, but Kagetomo and Saizo didn't take too kindly to his attitude and are battling him!" Nihei answered.

Ippei nodded, before running towards the exit with Diantha, Sycamore, Nihei and Sanpei following him.

Once they reached the center, they saw people gathered in a circle, the group made their way through, they saw Hanzo at the front.

They saw Kagetomo as well Saizo who had Weavile and Barbaracle battling Solaris who only has a Scizor out.

"Weavile use Night Slash!"

"Barbaracle use Razor Shell!"

Weavile created a purple energy blade in his right hand before dashing towards Scizor.

Barbaracle crossed his arms, as his hands glowed blue and grew. He swung his arms out and dashed beside Weavile towards Scizor.

"Bullet Punch."

When Weavile and Barbaracle were about to slash Scizor, he vanished making the pair slash air instead.

Before they could recover Scizor slammed his pincers that are glowing silver into their stomachs sending them both in the air.

"Weavile/ Barbaracle!"

"Finish this with Superpower." Scizor turned to the pair, vanished, then reappeared in the air with them with his body surrounded by a brown lining.

He slammed his right pincer into Weavile and his left into Barbaracle, both into their chest making them cough up a bit of saliva, before Scizor pushed them away from him, sending them crashing on the ground at the same time making dust stir around them.

Soon the dust settled down revealing Weavile and Barbaracle lying on their backs unconscious.

Everyone in the crowd are shocked by what they just saw, one man defeated the village chief rival and one of the top ninja without breaking a sweat.

Scizor landed in front of his trainer, facing his defeated opponents.

Solaris casted a disappointed glare at them, before glancing to the side, before turning his head and saw who he's looking for, "Are you Ippei, leader of this village?" Solaris asked making everyone turn to where he is looking at.

Ippei took a few steps forward, "Yes that is me, what do you want?"

"I'm here for something information about a Greninja that can transform."

Diantha, Sycamore, Alain and Mairin's eyes widen a bit by that, while Ippei narrowed his, "What exactly for?"

"Because I need information so that I can defeat him and his trainer." Solaris answered.

Everyone eyes widen by that, "He's talking about Ash." Alain thought to himself.

Hanzo walked until he was beside Ippei, "I'm sorry, but the shrine dedicated to the hero Greninja of this village and you are not welcome here. I must ask you to leave." Hanzo replied.

"I'll leave, as soon as I've come for what I seek." Solaris replied.

Ippei took out a Poke Ball, "Battle me. You win, I'll take you to the shrine. I win, you leave." Ippei explained.

"Very well."

"Greninja let's go!" Ippei released his partner who is kneeling on his right knee before standing up.

Solaris said nothing but kept Scizor out as the latter got into a fighting stance.

On the sidelines with Diantha, Alain, Sycamore, Mairin, Sanpei, Nihei and Shinobu, Hanzo along Kagetomo and Saizo re-joined them.

"So, you think brother can win?" Sanpei asked.

"Hard to say. I could tell, just by looking at him. This man has experience. And something else." Hanzo replied with a serious expression while looking at Solaris.

"Greninja use Water Shuriken!"

Greninja jumped into the air, formed two water shuriken is his hands, slammed them together, before hurling it at Scizor.

"Dodge."

Scizor vanished from where he was making the Water Shuriken hit the ground making dust stir around that area.

As the dust settled Greninja landed looking around trying to find Scizor.

"Bullet Punch."

Scizor suddenly reappeared in front of Greninja with his pincers glowing white, slammed his right pincer into Greninja's stomach sending him in the air.

"Greninja!" Ippei shouted in concern.

"Again." Scizor flew from where he hit Greninja, once he was above his he slammed the bottom his left pincer into Greninja's head, sending him crashing into the ground engulfing him in a cloud of dust.

Everyone was surprised while Ippei, Hanzo and Kagetomo showed no worry.

When Scizor landed, the dust died down, but Greninja wasn't there, only a wooden log.

"Substitute." Solaris thought to himself as his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Greninja use Night Slash!"

Greninja appeared behind Scizor with a purple energy blade in his right arm.

He swung it downwards against Scizor back, creating an explosion with purple shockwaves, but Greninja jumped away so he wouldn't get caught in the explosion as well.

"Now use Water Shuriken!"

When Greninja landed, he leaped forward, as he created two water shuriken's. Once Greninja was above the smoke he threw them in the smoke, he created three more shuriken's and threw them into the smoke as well.

When Greninja landed an explosion happened with white smoke coming from it.

Everyone expect Ippei, Hanzo and Kagetomo turned away or covered their faces with their arms to protect themselves.

Once the explosion was over, everyone turned back to the cloud of white smoke.

Everyone was tensed until a silhouette slowly appeared in the smoke, soon the smoke died down revealing Scizor, much to everyone's shock and horror was standing their as if nothing happened.

Scizor merely dusted himself with his right pincer, before turning back to Greninja with his eyes narrowed slightly.

"N-no way." Sanpei said in shock.

Diantha narrowed her eyes, "He's a strong trainer. I think he's even stronger than me." Diantha thought to herself in fear slightly by the man in front of her.

"If that's the best that the Village chief has, then I think it's time to end this pointless struggle. Scizor use Bullet Punch."

Scizor's pincers glowed white and vanished from his spot.

Greninja looked around trying to find him, when Scizor reappeared behind Greninja.

"Greninja behind you!" Ippei shouted making Greninja turn around, only to have Scizor slam his right pincer into Greninja's stomach sending making him grunt in pain.

Greninja stumbled back a few feet before dropping to his knees while panting heavily.

"Superpower."

Scizor's body became surrounded by a brown lining and raised his pincers above his head.

"GRENINJA!" Ippei shouted.

Greninja slowly turned his gaze above him now looking at Scizor, but Scizor slammed his pincers into Greninja head slamming him into the ground making dust fly throughout the area.

"GGGGGRRRRREEEEEENNNNN!" Greninja yelled in pain.

Everyone turned away to prevent dust from getting into their eyes, after about a few moments everyone turned back and they saw Scizor standing in a crater looking down at a beaten, as well as badly bruised Greninja who is lying on his back and unconscious.

Everyone is shocked by what just happened, their leader was beaten like an amateur, while his opponent looked like he wasn't even trying.

"GRENINJA!" Ippei shouted as he ran up to his partner, bent down and lifted him so that he was next to him, "Are you ok?!"

His Greninja didn't response. Ippei check and felt pulse, and he's breathing slightly.

A shadow towered him, making him look and saw Solaris standing over him with a neutral expression on his face, "Now. Tell me what I want to know." Solaris demanded.

"Tsk." Ippei clicked his tongue against his teeth and reluctantly agreed.

Timeskip

Solaris is watching the ocean form the helicopter after taking photos of the shrine and getting some research from Professor Sycamore after crushing his Garchomp and Alain's Charizard.

He research everything about what he leaned carefully, and the helicopter landed back in the Reborn Region.

"Ash Ketchum, now that I know about your main Pokemon's power. You will not stand in my way again." Solaris thought to himself.

Author's Notes.

Hey guys i know this chapter was as big as the others were but i just needed to take it easy because soon I'm back at collage and i have my big project coming up so i won't be able to update for a while.

As i said already it's not as long as other chapters but i just wanted to take a different approach to this because i wanted Solaris to research Ash before taking him on again.

So let a review on what you've thought and I'll see you later.
