Champions of Sinnoh

The new chapter has come! Dawn again goes for the ribbon and Ash also goes for his next badge. That way the two get to win. Sorry for the Buizel lovers, who have decided to flame me for been myself. Thanks for the comments but Buizel is not coming into scene no matter what you say.

Sorry for the long waiting but a lot of things are happening. And others things aren't happening and that's even worse. But that's my problem.

I'm back to a more fluid schedule so updates might come frequently for my stories. Hopefully.

Now let's read!

Chapter 14: Generation Struggle

The couple of trainers had reached Hearthome City after weeks of traveling. The two trainers didn't have any new adventure except for the sudden influx of arrogant trainers trying to fight against Ash. Apparently the rumors of his victory over the Champion Cynthia had been heard all over Sinnoh. And many idiots didn't believe those rumors. So the Aura trainer had been forced to fight against many trainers like it had once happened in Hoenn before he had challenged the Gym leader Norman. Not that these trainers were a real threat though. Ash's experienced Pokemon did most of the hard job. But the fights had still helped Ash's team in getting much stronger. In fact, his Quilava and Croconaw had finally evolved into their final forms of Typhlosion and Feraligatr respectively. One of his Pokemon, who still had to evolve in his team was Tyrunt. But apparently his Fossil Pokemon could only evolve while training during the day. But the Aura trainer wasn't in a rush to make his partner stronger. All of them were already unbeatable.

Ash saw that the Hearthome Gym was finally open. That meant the leader was finally back in town. And the Aura user was going to make sure he or she didn't run away from him this time.

The couple of trainers strode inside into the main arena. Both Dawn and Ash could see a beautiful lady in her mid thirties obviously the owner of the Gym. The Gym leader, however, certainly wasn't dressed like one. She had a purple hair splitted in four buns and a vibrant dark purple dress. She had quite a stunning figure if either Dawn and Ash could say so with an ample bosom and long legs with purple high heels. She had to be Fantina, Ghost-type expert.

The Ghost lady saw the two trainers in her stadium, holding hands. She instantly smiled in delight.

"My, what a cute couple we have here!" The leader and coordinator stated towards the two teenagers. Both who could hear an exotic French accent in her voice "You two look like perfect wedding toys for a cake"

"Thanks?" Dawn and Ash stated unsure of what to say to that.

"I'm Fantina, the Hearthome Gym leader and also expert coordinator" The woman introduced herself with a bow. The couple were surprised by that. They thought one couldn't be both trainer and coordinator. Or at least that's what they had come to believe. Trainers and Coordinators had always quarreled a lot wanting to prove their respective methods were the best.

"Now, I think one of you wants to challenge me to a fight, correct?" The elegantly-dressed Gym Leader said now her eyes going over the two trainers.

"That would be me" Ash stepped forward bold and ready "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town" The gym leader nodded ready to see what the young and attractive teen had to offer her.

Ash stood against Fantina, one Pokeball ready for each. The referee appeared on the sidelines. Dawn noticed that also the referee had a tuxedo. The bluenette sweat dropped. Maybe Fantina was a coordinator but also took things a bit to the extreme, when it came to fashion.

"This is an official three-on-three Gym Battle between Hearthome City Gym Leader Fantina and the challenger Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. There's no time limit and all the other clauses apply. Also, only the challenger is allowed to substitute his Pokemon at any moment. Now send out your first Pokemon!" The referee said.

"Let's go, Mismagius!" The leader/Coordinator called out her Ghost Pokemon. It was hovering in the air like a spectral lady with a hat.

"It's your turn, Typhlosion!" Ash called out his fully-evolved Fire Pokemon from Johto. The Inferno Pokemon stood on his hinder legs growling with his new body a bit taller than his trainer. The fire spikes on his shoulder bursted with a roar of strength.

"Mismagius vs Typhlosion, begin!" The referee said.

"Mismagius, use Psywave!" The Gym leader started things up. Her Ghost Pokemon fired the multicolored beam from her eyes. The blast was heading for the Fire enemy.

"Stop it with Safeguard!" Ash countered. His fully-evolved Pokemon created a light shield around him to avoid the confusing attack. It hit him but no damage or confusion appeared.

"Oh darn!" Fantina cursed her luck "Mismagius, keep it up with Magical Leaf!" The Ghost Pokemon unleashed a rapid-moving rain of sharp leafs. Ash rose an eyebrow. A Grass attack was certainly not going to work here.

"Burn them with Flamethrower!" Ash ordered now. His Pokemon unleashed the stream of hot flames from his mouth and turned the grass into floating cinder "Now Fire Spin!" The Fire starter didn't stop his attack letting loose a spinning fire blast towards the Spectral Pokemon.

"Double Team, Mismagius!" Fantina countered. Her Pokemon created many copies of herself and eluded the Flame attack. Ash frowned. Maybe it was time to call for one of his trump cards.

"Now Double Edge!" Ash ordered, making Dawn and Fantina look at him in surprise. The Fire Pokemon started running with great speed on his four legs his body glowing yellow charging the attack. But it was a Normal-type attack.

"Oh my!" The elegant Gym Leader said obviously amused by Ash's new tactics. She giggled in mirth "I thought you my dear would be smarter than using Normal moves on my sweat Ghost Pokemon. But if you have to learn the hard way then so be it. Mismagius, receive the attack!" Fantina knew that the attack, while powerful, would just pass through her Pokemon without doing anything. The Aura trainer smirked predatory. He had fooled her with hook, line and sinker.

"Typhlosion, stop!" Ash ordered. And his Pokemon stopped right half a foot away from his hovering enemy "Now Eruption!" Typhlosion barfed the red burning blast right at point blank. Because the Ghost Pokemon still had a lot of health then the fire did even more damage to her. Mismagius screeched in white-hot pain burning completely and her health going down.

"Oh no, Mismagius!" Fantina said worried. The Ghost Pokemon was suffering a lot of injuries. After a minute, the fire left a very worn out Ghost Pokemon barely hovering.

"Now start a Flame Charge!" Ash ordered. Typhlosion's body exploded in red fire, increasing his speed by the use of the move. He sprinted towards the shaking Screech Pokemon.

"Mismagius, don't let him do so. Use Will-o-wisp!" The coordinator and Gym leader ordered. The Shadow Pokemon created blue fire balls hovering around her body sending them towards the incoming enemy. Yet neither Ash and Typhlosion were deterred.

"Use the attack to increase your own fire!" The Aura trainer ordered. Typhlosion's red aura of flames combined with the blue ones to form an aura of dark purple blaze. The two coordinators in the arena widen their eyes in shock as did Mismagius "Now use a flaming Shadow Claw!" The evolved Pokemon from Johto focused all of the surrounding fire into the purple left claw, which was now burning with dark violet flames. The fussed Ghost/Fire move slashed from left to right with deadly power into the Ghost Pokemon, sending Mismagius flying backwards completely knocked out and in need of medical attention.

"Mismagius is unable to battle. Typhlosion wins. Gym Leader, send out your next Pokemon!" The referee said.

"Sweat lord!" Fantina said her mind blown out of the window by the staggering combination. It had been worth a contest ribbon "Ash, you are magnificent! You sucker me like a fool with a brand new style of blazing fire!" Both challenger and Dawn sweat-dropped. The lady certainly didn't mind voicing her opinion.

"Um, thanks" Ash said unsure of what to say to that kind of comment. He knew a lot about contests so using some fusion moves from time to time like May had shown him wasn't bad for him. Typhlosion looked just as confused as his trainer.

"Now your turn, Drifloon!" Fantina called out her next Ghost Pokemon. This one looked like a violet balloon floating.

"Okay Typhlosion, return!" Ash recalled his Fire starter proud of his old friend from Johto. It was incredible how strong he had got in only months "Go, Steelix!" The Iron Snake appeared with his mean look on his long face.

"Drifloon vs Steelix, begin!" The referee said.

"Steelix, Dragon Breath!" Ash started things up this time. The Snake Pokemon unleashed the draconic yellow blast from his mouth heading for the enemy.

"Drifloon, use Ominous Wind!" Fantina suddenly countered smiling with an idea. Her Ghost Pokemon created a hurricane-like wind around its body, which pushed the attack back to its owner. Ash saw that it wasn't good.

"Use Rock Tomb to block it!" The Aura trainer comanded. His Pokemon created rocks around him, which took the blast while Steelix took none. It was a technique Ash had learnt from watching Dawn's contests with Amaura "Now Head Smash!" The Iron snake erupted from inside the rocks with his head glowing blue and white with one of the strongest Rock moves.

"Drifloon, use Double Team!" The Phantom Leader countered and her Pokemon created copies of itself. Steelix went through three fakes leaving the real one unscathed "And now a Psychic Will-o-wisp!" The Ghost's eyes shone blue and then created the blue fire balls around him. The psychic energy merged the balls into a single belt of focused blaze. Ash grinded his teeth together. Steelix had resistance to fire but it wasn't worth taking the risk.

"Steelix, Mud Slap and turn the fire off!" The experienced trainer comanded now. The evolution of Onyx barfed a shower of mud bullets and the fire died down.

"Use Hypnosis!" The coordinator and gym leader ordered. Her Balloon Pokemon sent the blue-colored sleeping waves from his eyes.

"Use Protect!" The trainer from Kanto countered. His Steel Pokemon created a blue shield around him and avoided the sleeping attack.

"Magnific counter, Ash" Fantina said wanting to applaud her rival. This was much funnier than that idiot Nando and his Bug Pokemon only using sleeping moves "Now Disable!" Drifloon's eyes shone blue and hit the enemy. Steelix's body shuddered. Now the defensive move had been nullified for the following turns. But the Aura trainer still had other things to try out.

"Steelix, use Smack Down!" Ash ordered now. His Steel/Ground Pokemon ignored the chilling sensation and shot a glowing sphere from his mouth hitting the floating Ghost Pokemon and doing some damage. The Pokemon hovered lower touching the ground. It was the side effect of using Smack Down. It turned the user vulnerable to Ground-type attacks. "And finish it with Earthquake!" Steelix made the whole building tremble to the core. The rumbling sent the Ghost Pokemon flying away completely knocked out.

"Drifloon is unable to battle. Steelix wins. Gym Leader, send out your last Pokemon!" The referee said. The elegant lady recalled her Pokemon still not feeling depressed. If anything, she looked happy to be losing by someone with real talent. The last trainer she had fought had been a purple-haired guy, with no proper manners whatsoever.

"Let's get going, my mighty Gengar!" The leader called out the Ghost/Poison Pokemon. It floated with a crazy grin plastered on his face. The Champion of the Battle Frontier smiled remembering his encounters with Gengars before.

"I use Steelix again" Ash said towards the referee.

"Gengar vs Steelix, begin!" The referee said.

"Gengar, start with Substitute!" Fantina ordered. Her Pokemon created a dummy of itself before disappearing from the view. Now the dummy would take the attacks for him.

"Steelix, shatter it with Flash Cannon!" Ash ordered. Steelix fired the Steel blast from the back of his throat and quickly brought the real Ghost back to the arena.

"Okay Gengar, show all your power with a Shadow Ball barrage!" Fantina showed her power as a leader and coordinator. Gengar rose his hands and created at least a dozen of dark purple spheres. He shot his hands forward the rain of Ghost spheres heading for the enemy.

"Send them away with Iron Tail!" Ash countered. The Iron Snake started lashing out with his silver-glowing tail. He hit the many Ghost spheres away. Some of them were heading towards Gengar now. Dawn smiled on the sidelines. It seemed Ash also wanted to payback that tactic to Fantina.

"Dodge and use Night Shade!" Fantina ordered. Her Pokemon hovered away from his own attacks and got ready. He sent a stream of dark lightnings out of his eyes, hitting the Steel Pokemon. Steelix remained without much of a scratch on him, however. Fantina frowned knowing she had to do something really damaging "Now Water Pulse!" Gengar cupped his hands and fired a sphere of high-pressured water.

"Steelix, Dig quickly!" The aura trainer comanded. The Iron Snake barely eluded one of his main weaknesses. Even with training, Ash knew not to be stupid. It was always better to avoid an attack than recklessly receiving it and build damage.

"Now, remain underground and use Rock Slide!" Ash ordered now. There was a roar from inside the ground and suddenly giant sharp-edged rocks started falling from the ceiling of the gym.

"Gengar, dodge!" Fantina ordered now desperately. Her Pokemon barely floated away of so many incoming sharp rocks.

"And now Steelix, use Iron Head!" The Aura trainer ordered. The ground bursted open and Steelix slammed against the Ghost enemy with his head glowing silver white. Gengar spiraled away very injured. He got up but barely.

"Gengar, use Curse!" The Gym leader ordered. Gengar growled and the sound hit the enemy. Steelix shuddered losing some health by the attack.

"Nice try, Fantina" Ash said surprised by the tactic. Now his Steelix was going to receive damage in every turn. Unless the fight was to finish right now "Finish this with Stone Edge!" Steelix roared and sharp stones started orbiting around his snake body. He shot them at bullet speed hitting the tired Ghost Pokemon. It fell completely unconscious on the arena.

"Gengar is unable to battle. Steelix wins. The winner of the match is Ash Ketchum!" The referee said.

"Yes, great job Steelix!" Ash said proudly towards his Steel Pokemon. Despite not been very friendly at the beginning, the Iron Snake had quickly became one of Ash's powerhouses just behind Charizard, Pikachu and Sceptile. In fact Steelix and Lucario were competing for the fourth place of the strongest Pokemon.

"I have to say Ash, you are a sublime trainer" The Gym Leader said looking at her challenger with a bright smile. She handed over her Purple badge "Go with the Relic Badge and make the world yours alongside your girlfriend"

"By the way Dawn, if you are aiming to enter the Sinnoh Contest then you better come with all the performance you have" Fantina advised towards the young coordinator from Twinleaf Town.

"Are you participating too?" The bluenette coordinator asked. If Fantina was participating in the Grand Festival then she might have a proper rival. Counting Zoey of course.

"Just wait an see, my young friend" The purple-haired lady stated with a mischievous grin walking away. It gave the two trainers a nice view of her rear but they still walked away.

The couple had arrived in Celestic Town, ready for Dawn's new Ribbon just a week after the Gym battle. During that time Dawn had trained her Pokemon a bit tougher as she didn't want to slack off now that she was closer to reach her ultimate goal of becoming Top Coordinator.

"Well, here I am" Dawn said now her tone very bold and decisive. The cute bluenette was again dressed in her tight pink dress with her long hair in two pigtails. Her appearance attracted a lot of attention from other male coordinators. But a glowing glare from Ash's Aura sight made everyone back off in no time. There was also a group of ladies ogling at Ash but just like him, Dawn's glare kept the bitches in a distant leash.

"You can't tell me you are nervous" Ash stated towards Dawn almost not believing. Not even May had had that much of doubts when competing.

"Who said I was?" The coordinator said a bit playfully. There was a sudden snort from behind the couple.

"Um, seems the talent hasn't been passed down" A voice said arrogantly. The two trainers saw a woman in her early forties. She had violet hair and was dressed in a dark violet coordinator dress. It showcased a lot of her flesh.

"And who are you?" Dawn asked completely out of the blue by the new woman in picture. She looked familiar from a magazine cover. But other than that the bluenette from Twinleaf Town had no idea who she could possibly be.

"You don't know me?!" The woman blurted out feeling insulted that the daughter of her nemesis didn't know about her. She sighed returning her mocking smirk in full splendor "I thought your mum would have warned you about me"

"You know my mum?" Dawn asked in surprise. It wasn't a surprise as Dawn's mum had been a famous coordinator so she had had to met a lot of people. And the coordinator from Twinleaf Town didn't need to guess that the woman in front of her had some kind of unresolved anger issues.

"Of course I do" The woman named Lila responded arrogantly "She was the bitch, who eliminated me from the Sinnoh contest when we were young" Ash instantly saw his girlfriend's body language changing ready to hit someone hard. Considering the training they had been doing, then Lila should back off quickly before ending without teeth.

"Hey, I don't care about that. But I won't let you insult my mother!" Dawn bellowed in anger. Her fists were really wanting for something to hit.

"Whatever, see you later runt" Lila commented turning back and walking away sounding very idiotic.

"Talking about old grudges" Ash stated now with a sweat-drop scratching his forehead. He had seen rivals facing each other out. But to take the frustration out on someone else was really lame.

"The only old thing here is her" Dawn blurted out her anger slowly boiling over. Ash did the only reasonable thing to calm his girl down. He brought her forward from her hips and shut her mouth with a searing kiss. The coordinator relaxed under her man's strength. A couple of ladies nearby looked murderously at Dawn but the bluenette paid no heed. The two split up and Dawn sighed in relaxation "Seriously Ash, how do you handle so many idiots?" Dawn asked towards her boyfriend.

"Patience is always the key" Ash stated now wisely like his friend Spencer did in the Battle Tower. Dawn rose an eyebrow like not believing her boyfriend.

"Is patience another way to say kick someone in the face?" The bluenette asked teasingly.

"You bet it is" The Aura trainer smirked. Despite the fact he had never got to hurt someone before, it had certainly felt good to hit Paul.

Dawn stood against Lila, her mother's old opponent. They were in the Final round of the contest. Dawn had made quick work of the appealing round with her Amaura, who easily stole the spotlight from everyone with her unique Swift/Aurora Beam combination. Ash had to admit that encountering Lila had been an unexpected booster for Dawn. The teenage coordinator had made every appeal fight look better than the previous one using deadly moves against the rivals, but making them look good for the judges.

It seemed that the desire to punch someone could be a great motivator for both trainers and coordinators.

"Now we have the returning coordinator Lila and the well-known undefeated Dawn. Who of these two shall claim the ribbon?" Vivian stated the audience coming down with a rain of applause.

"I think the apple fell away from the tree" Lila taunted. Dawn didn't give the old woman the benefit of getting under her skin. That was something Ash had taught her.

"Let's go, Piloswine!" Dawn sent out her evolved Ice/Ground Pokemon appearing in a rain of icicles to the audience. It was a Mammoth Pokemon with two tusks and a lot of fur over his hunched body. During the week of traveling from Hearthome City the cute baby Swinub had evolved into its second form. And it had learnt quite a lot of moves as well.

"Go, Delcatty!" Lila released her fully-evolved Normal Pokemon from Hoenn. It was a feline Pokemon with purple fur appearing in a display of hearts.

"And so the final match begins!" Vivian said and the countdown begun.

"Now Delcatty, Substitute!" Lila ordered. Her beauty Pokemon disappeared behind a dummy. But Dawn was no stranger to the technique. After calling her mother Johanna the teenage lady had learnt that Substitute was pretty much the only technique Delcatty could truly use to earn points.

"Use Ice Beam!" Dawn countered. Her Ice Pokemon fired the three-arc beam freezing the dummy. The fake Pokemon shattered and the real Delcatty reappeared outside the ice block. The points went down for Lila.

"Use Shockwave!" The mature lady called out her next move. The Feline Pokemon unleashed the stream of yellow volts over the arena. Yet Piloswine was just standing there yawning by the electric sensation. Dawn almost bursted in laughter by the idiocy.

"Pilowswine is a Ground-type Pokemon too. No wonder you lost to my mother when you have no brains" Dawn stated grinning like a predator ready to kill "Piloswine, Hidden Power through the ground!" The Tusk Pokemon created red spheres and sent them inside the ground like a sneaking shadow. The spheres hit the Cat Pokemon making her cry out in pain. Dawn smiled as Hidden Power had been a Fighting type and now Delcatty had received a lot of damage from it.

"Oh no, Delcatty use Giga Impact!" Lila ordered rabidly by the fact a brat was showing her up as a fraud. Her Beauty Pokemon charged forward covered in an orange aura of great power.

"Piloswine, Reflect!" Dawn instantly countered. The tusk Pokemon created a reflective shield around him for the following turns against physical attacks. The purple cat hit head on but didn't even manage to push Piloswine a centimeter back. Now the Normal Pokemon had to rest for a few moments while the score for Lila decreased after doing no damage whatsoever. "Throw Delcatty up and Ice Shard!" Suddenly Piloswine's eyes became hearts and wasn't moving to fulfill the order after been touched by the Normal-type Pokemon.

Lila crackled with malice.

"My Delcatty has the ability Cute Charm. You lost little brat!" Lila said very proud of her Pokemon "Delcatty, use Hyper Beam!" The Cat Pokemon charged the orange sphere on her mouth ready to finish the fight.

"Piloswine, shake the attraction off!" Dawn ordered right away without any kind of worries. Piloswine obeyed and shook his head getting free of the attract effect. That also discounted more points for Lila "And now Light Screen!" Piloswine covered himself in a reflective shield to special attacks. The Normal attack blast hit him again doing very little injury on his body. And the points went down for the mature lady.

"But how?" The mature lady asked completely missing something. By now her counter of points had less than half.

"You aren't the only one with an ability. Piloswine has the ability Oblivious, and it means he can't be fooled by your Cute Charm" The hot teenager from Sinnoh stated very confident "Now Icicle Crash!" Piloswine unleashed the powerful rain of ice bullets hitting the panting Delcatty right away, each ice bullet exploding into a bright shock wave after impacting the enemy. Delcatty fell with swirls for eyes.

"And Dawn with her Piloswine win their new ribbon with an entire minute left in the counter!" Vivian said the audience applauding and cheering for the young coordinator "We can see she inherited her mother's talent!" The last comment made Lila go nuts and she tried to literally claw at Vivian with her plastic nails. Luckily, Dawn's quick thinking catched her mum's opponent inside an Ice Beam, courtesy of her Piloswine.

The audience kept cheering for the bluenette, who saw Ash giving her a thumb up in approval. That was how you owned the place.

The new winner of the contest left the lockers back in her regular black-and-pink tight dress. Dawn walked up to his boyfriend, walking outside the building.

"So what now?" Thew newly ribbon winner asked to her boyfriend holding hands with him.

"Well, we can take a break before going on" The Pokemon trainer from Kanto suggested now. The bluenette looked at her man with a bewildered expression.

"Ash Ketchum wants to rest?" Dawn said with faked impression of shock "Okay, the world is finally ending"

"You love pissing me off, don't you?" Ash said now a bit annoyed but also smiling. Dawn had grown a lot even after only knowing each other for six months.

"You bet" Dawn replied dragging her boyfriend by the hand towards the Pokemon Center. He liked where this was going. If they were having a night for a break then it was to have it end with a bang.

Literally.

Notes from Chapter 14:

I know Lila wasn't arrogant in the Anime but I changed that. Because she was the one defeated by Johanna instead of the other way around.

Ash defeated Fantina without needing the counter shield. In fact he used a coordinator strategy.

Many would have liked a lemon. But there's one in the next chapter. A three-way. Does that sound hot for everyone?

The chapter was a reference to the fact Ash and Dawn defeated mature ladies.

And so the couple will rest for now. But there are more adventures and sex to come in the next chapter!
