Chapter 5.

9:00 AM, 6 hours before Ash departs.

Up and awake for a while now our heroes have devoured a delicious breakfast prepared for them by Clemont and Serena. The mood was not gloomy or depressing, rather it was like any other morning. Sure they knew it was only a matter of time before Ash departs and everything around them changes, but they wanted to savor the moments they have left together.

Following the cleanup the group of trainers went outside to take in one last beautiful morning together. The skies were clear, blue as can be, while on the ground people and pokemon together went about their day. The same would be said about one of our performer friends.

"Well guys, I should be on my way now" Miette said with a faint smile.

"You're leaving so soon?!" Serena was surprised to say the least.

"Why?! Won't you stay until Ash leaves?" Bonnie pleaded her to stay a little longer. Miette's response,

"Oh I really shouldn't, I'm not good at saying goodbye, and if I watch Ash leave I'll be an emotional wreck for sure." She scratches the back of her head. "Truth is I need to get back to rebuilding my routine for future performances you know?"

"I understand" Clemont and Ash both remember seeing Miette's defeat in the master class and understand her desire to try harder.

"It was nice to have you around, you can visit the gym anytime you want alright"

"Thanks Clemont. I'll be sure to drop by to greet you and Bonnie sometime. Ash, Dawn, Serena... I had a lot of fun with you guys." Looking at Ash specifically, "Thank You for everything." Her eyes drifted to Serena, when she remembered, "Oh, Serena. Can I talk to you for a moment?" She nodded and followed her away from the others. She was expecting them to have a conversation sooner or later.

Miette took a deep breath. "Serena, I want to personally thank you for everything you've done for me."

"What do you mean?" Serena wasn't sure exactly what she did for her, except get her laid.

"I mean our rivalry, because of it we have grown so much as performers and people for that matter."

"Oh, I see. Believe me-"

"That's why I want you to know.. I will continue following my goal of becoming Kalos Queen. So whatever or where ever you go-"

Listen, I was thinking last night about what was next for me.. And I decided to follow my dream also. Which means, we'll meet again for sure." Serena said giving her a warm smile.

Miette was surprised by her words, she was wondering if she should even bring up Ash in the conversation. But Serena brought him up first.

"So .. you uh got what you wanted from Ash, so ... "

"About that, I was thinking last night also.. and I had a revelation of some sort. As good as it felt being with Ash, I felt something was missing. And maybe there was, so I realized it's not Ash I want, it's someone like Ash you know?" Miette's eyes glared at Serena, trying to ask her the same question, is there something missing when she's with Ash? However Serena didn't receive the message. She was just happy Miette was backing off. They walked back to the others.

"Well Miette good luck in the future."

"Thanks, you're going to need all the luck when you face me in the Master Class next time." She teased. Serena gave her the 'frenemy' stare down.

"Take care Miette!" Ash and Dawn said together, their synchronicity was not planned but like most occasions it just happens. Waving goodbye, she walked away. As for the rest of our heroes, they still had plenty of time left to spare.

Then Ash felt some of his groin muscles contract, it's been a long time since he's had intercourse and he knows it. Now it was time to do something about it. "Well," He said stretching his arms high in the air, "I better get my things together now before I forget. Dawn, I could use your help.." He turned to her with his smile she knows and loves so much.

"Right behind you" She followed him trying her best to act natural, truth is she was feeling exactly what Ash was, she simply waited until one of them cracked under pressure.

Serena also saw his smile, she knows for a fact they're going to get intimate, but she wonders where? Knowing them they could do it anywhere, in a room, closet or even the roof for that matter. Clemont and Bonnie thought nothing of it, why should they? To them they were just two trainers, two very good friends who had a lot in common. What else could they be capable of doing?

As Ash led the way inside the gym, Dawn was wondering where he was leading her to, so she asked him,

"You don't need to get your things together, so where are we going?"

Ash smiled, "I don't know where I'm going but I'll know when I get there." For the moment they were simply going higher and higher above the city, approaching the battle arena. The sexual tension between them is intense, but where ever they went, some kind of security camera was nearby, watching them.

Back outside:

"HEY! Serena!" A familiar voice shouted. Serena's eyes widened, recognizing that voice, she quickly turned to see some old friends.

"Shauna!" Serena gave her a big hug, with an equally big smile on their faces.

"Tierno and Trevor are here also!" Clemont and Bonnie walked over to greet them. "What brings all of you here today?"

"I got word Ash was heading home and I wanted to wish him the best before he goes."

"Plus a battle wouldn't hurt either" Added Trevor.

"Where is Ash anyways?" Shauna wondered, it was unusual to see Serena without Ash nearby.

"Ash is inside, he said he was getting his things ready" Clemont informed them. "If you want, we could wait for him in the battle arena."

Tierno and Trevor nodded in agreement. "You comin' Shauna?"

"You guys go on ahead, I'll wait for Aria out here with Serena" She smiled.

Serena didn't say she was going to wait outside but somehow Shauna knew what she was thinking. Serena smiled back as they sat on a bench, watching the boys, along with Bonnie, enter the tower. It was an odd, almost awkward silence between them, Serena hasn't told her about her recent spike in sexual activities, for her sake she was hoping she didn't have to tell her; And since Miette could tell when something was different with her, Serena tried to act as normal as possible.

"So Have You Made A Move On Ash Yet?" Shauna asked her, expecting the same reaction and look on her face whenever she brings Ash up in a conversation.

"NO! WHY?!... Should I?!..." She blurted out, her heart rate began to accelerate.

"I mean... he IS leaving today and keeping your feelings bottled up isn't healthy you know."

"I guess..." Serena was really hoping for a distraction right now, or something to change the subject.

Her prayer was answered. "Hey Serena! Shauna!" It was Aria, the Kalos Queen herself, walking over to them with a beautiful smile on her face.

Serena informed the Queen about today, while she escorted her to meet with the others inside. While the girls were outside, a battle was underway inside the gym between Trevor and Clembot. Outside the battlefield across the hall next to the bathrooms was a control room of some sort. Inside the control room we find our heroes Ash and Dawn making out with their hands all over each other. Both trainers panting and staring into each other's eyes.

"Are you sure you want to do this here?" Dawn asked, secretly knowing there was no way either one of them will stop now.

"What's wrong with here?" He smiled seeing she was playing around also.

"I mean we're in Clemont's gym, what if he's secretly watching us?" Her eyes focused to the far corner of the room, where a security camera has been covered by their hats.

"What? We covered that camera. Unless he's got another hidden camera around there's no need to worry, you look amazing from all angles. And Clemont would probably be alright with this... he's a real cool guy" Ash saw the look on Dawn's face, the look she made when he says something sweet/ lovey-dovey, it just makes her blush. Dawn responds by continuing the make out session.

Back in the battle arena, Clembot was holding his own against Trevor and his team. On the stands, a few rows above Clemont and Tierno, was our performer trio.

"So are you ladies going to challenge me for Kalos Queen next time?" Aria asked, curious as to what they were going to do next.

"Of course I am. I was so close last time, a little more training and I'll be Queen for sure." You can see the confidence and determination burning deep inside Shauna.

"I'll be back next time also. But I need a little time off, a change of scenery if you will, to recharge. But I guarantee you, I will become Kalos Queen!" Serena delivered just as much enthusiasm as Shauna.

"My! That's Fantastic! It's nice to know I have strong opponents that I can learn from also." Aria's smile radiated warmth around them, it's just something she does.

"I can't wait.." Shauna went into deep thought after that, 'what does she mean, a change in scenery? Where? and for how long?'

The battle heated up inside the arena, as did inside the control room where Ash and Dawn were getting down right physical. Both trainers were topless, Ash was down to his briefs while Dawn had her minuscule skirt on and nothing else. A couple moans are heard because of their frisky hands squeezing and stroking various areas.

"Oh, you Naughty girl"

"Mmm, you Dirty boy" Dawn rips his briefs apart, taking his dick in her hands, ready for the fun to begin.

Explosions rattle the arena and the stands, Tierno is cheering his buddy on. Serena starts to wonder what Ash and Dawn could be doing at this moment.

"Please excuse me! I have to use the restroom, I'll be back" Aria gets up and walks out.

Shauna is alone again with Serena, now it was time to ask her to clarify what she meant. "Hey Serena what do you mean a change in scenery?"

Serena thought for a moment, "You know... do a little traveling"

In the ladies restroom, Aria has finished her business and was washing up when she heard a thump on the wall. She stood there in silence trying to hear it again, and she did. "That's creepy..." She said. Thumping on the bathroom wall doesn't happen everyday, or maybe it does, it is her first time here. Because of that she grew curious and placed her ear along the wall. "Is that voices?" She did hear voices, 'Harder!' A couple moans, heavy breathing and a steady continuous thump on the wall. There was no doubt in her mind, that was the sound of intercourse. Aria couldn't help but to feel aroused by all this. Biting her lip and rubbing her breasts before moving lower to her moistened labia lips. Then she heard this,

"Now go slow and Deep Ash!" "Geez Dawn let's hope I don't make a dent on the wall." ... That was Ash, the boy who traveled with Serena, and she could only imagine what things he was doing to Dawn.

The thumps slowed down but were more intense, Aria's breathing and heart rate both accelerated. Her soft fingers worked their magic down there, synchronizing her fingers to the thumps. On the other side of that wall, Ash was giving it to Dawn from behind with her body against the wall, creating the thumping sound they never heard due to high amounts of pleasure. Dawn had her arms spread out while Ash has his directly above, to secure them in place. Both trainers had their hands entwined with the other's. The tight grip of Dawn's pussy indicates she was close as was Ash, coincidentally Aria was approaching her climax also, her entire hand was soaked and she was humming her moans now.

"A L-Little More! More! MORE!"

"AAGH!" Dawn and Ash yelled out in pure ecstasy for their first orgasm in over 12 hours. Ash kept his dick inside her. Dawn could feel his warm cum flood her insides and wanted to go again.

In the bathroom Aria is leaning back against the wall, a hand over her left breast and the cum covered hand was making trips between her pussy and her mouth. She did manage to hear something clear as day through the wall, 'Woah that's a ton of cum!' They said together, it just made things worse for her.

While all that went on, Serena was trying her best not to give too much away to Shauna.

"Look, bottom line, Ash has a dream to follow and so do I. Don't you worry about a thing, I'll open up to him before he goes." She smiled. Looking around she noticed Aria hasn't returned. "I need to use the restroom" she said, fearing Aria might've found Ash and Dawn somehow.

"Wait up!" Shauna followed Serena outside the arena to the bathrooms, completely overlooking the control room where our heroes were.

The door opens, Aria quickly takes her hand out from her pants and back to the sink, looking like she was casually washing her hands.

"Everything alright?"

"Yes everything is just Fine!" Aria replied with a big smile.

"You look ... exhausted" Serena almost said aroused. She meant to say aroused because she had the same look Dawn has whenever she has an orgasm, but wasn't sure why Aria looked that way.

"What?! No I- ..." Thump .. Thump.. Thump.. Thump.. A few louder thumps were heard coming from the wall and everyone noticed it. "If you really want to know, listen closely in the wall." Aria was ready for whatever was about to come from this.

Shauna and Serena both placed their ears next to the wall. Fast pounding noises shook the wall and loud pleasure filled moans confirmed what Serena suspected. Shauna looked a bit confused though.

"That's Ash and Dawn making sweet beautiful passion, and it sounds intense." Aria placed her hand to her crotch again.

"And you're getting off to them?" Shauna asked the Queen.

"Yes. I feed my sexual craves when I can, which is usually never. It just sounds amazing... I might just join them" Lust invaded Aria's eyes.

Shauna looked to Serena to get her opinion on that. Serena said, "I would wait until they're finished, it gets messy in there."

To everyone's shock Serena explained everything from Dawn's arrival, the wild threesome, and countless orgasms they've had since. She did leave out their actions that took place yesterday with Miette, they didn't need to know that. And just like that, innocent looking Serena has revealed her naughty sexual side to them, with a proud smile across her face.

Back in the control room Ash had Dawn in a standing missionary position against the wall, very similar to the one they did on their first threesome with Serena. Wrists pinned to the wall, back against the wall, head back looking at the ceiling, Dawn's legs up against Ash's chest. Fast powerful thrusts pounding at Dawn's soft angelic skin, the two locked lips in between heavy breaths. Dawn's leg muscles contracted as did Ash's body, another orgasm was coming. This time they were verbally quieter, but the wall took a few loud thuds before everything became silent. You can almost hear Ash pump more cum deep inside Dawn.

The silence was noticed on the other side as well.

"I think they're done" Shauna assumed, hearing nothing from the wall. That was all Aria needed to go walk out the bathroom with intentions to go next door.

"Shauna you better come also.." Serena smiled, taking Shauna by the hand.

Ash and Dawn sat side by side on the floor, holding hands, riding their orgasm down together. Cum dripped down Ash's leg and out of Dawn's pussy to the floor. The door swung open, Aria entered with the smile that lit the room with joy, or even more joy.

"Hiya Ash! Mind If I Join?" Aria was kinda begging but she was confident in her request. Before the two could respond, or even react to her appearance, the Queen had was already unbuttoning her blouse.

"Hey Ash, Sorry for the sudden intrusion, but Aria heard you from the bathroom and -"

"And I just have to have a turn after hearing such passion between you two." Aria interrupted Serena, who has entered the room with Shauna closing the door behind them.

Dawn was about to ask who was the one undressing before them, Ash read the look on her face and answered, "Dawn this is Aria, a friend and the reigning Kalos Queen." He stood up, helping Dawn to her feet. "And that's Shauna, a friend and rival of Serena's."

"More friends than Rivals though" Serena smiled, raising her hand that held Shauna's.

"Well it's nice to meet everyone, sorry you had to meet me naked like this." Dawn was blushing a bit, it's not everyday the Kalos Queen herself, who is a beautiful bombshell by the way, decides to join in on the fun. When she turned to look at Aria, she had removed practically everything, left behind was her cherry red see-through lace bra and a G-string of all things. Serena's jaw dropped, she admired Aria in more ways than one and seeing her like this was a definite turn on.

"I'll have to make this quick before the others suspect something, so is anyone else joining Miss Aria here for a wild and exotic ride pleasureville." Ash said looking at Dawn and then to Serena.

Serena threw her hat on the floor, "One last time.."

"At a Girl Serena, ... Shauna.. want to join us?" Aria flashed her positively radiant smile at Shauna.

"I... ..." Shauna wasn't going to, but Aria's smile and beautiful body alongside Serena's was enough to convince her.

"Come on, who are you waiting for? Tierno?" Serena teased.

"Oh Please! No!" Shauna shook her head from the thought of Tierno in this situation. "I'm In!"

"Alright! Now ladies, you don't have to get fully nude like Aria here.." Ash couldn't help but notice Aria's plump, ripe body.

"Don't be afraid to go all out on me Ash" Aria winked to him.

"Let's get started then!" Dawn got into position. Serena took off her pink dress like previous times, Shauna dropped her shorts and panties, keeping her top on. Aria insisted on going first, so she did. The girls were lined up side-by-side; Aria on the far left facing the wall. Dawn with her back against the wall, Serena the same way, Shauna was copying Aria's approach.

Before Ash could make contact with Aria, he noticed her pussy was already soaking wet. "You don't do this often do you?" He asked.

"Of course Not! I'm the Queen! So Don't Disappoint" Aria pulled Ash's hips into hers.

"Ash doesn't disappoint!" Serena and Dawn both defended Ash's sexual reputation.

"OH!" Aria let out a short moan, when Ash's huge cock barged inside her tight, but slick pussy. It felt sort of loose towards the opening and very tight out back. He can tell, she fingers herself often, the loosened area measured about the length of her fingers. But he wasn't here to think about that. Aria wants a pounding, she'll get a good pounding she'll never forget. His thrusting stared off fast, the sound of their skin slamming against each other filled the small control room. Aria's face filled with joy and bliss, her eyes closed and that smile that never seems to fade as she breathed through her mouth. But Ash was on a tight schedule and he knew what to do.

A pop sound was made when Ash abruptly pulled out of Aria and into Dawn for an encore performance of their standing missionary. Both Ash and Dawn knew this time wasn't about them, they had their fun. This was the time to give Aria, Shauna and Serena a piece of Ash they can cherish. A few quick thrusts ending with a passion filled kiss. He put Dawn down and moved over to Serena, Dawn spanked Ash's rear as he left.

Ash saw the smile on Serena's face, "One more time?"

"One more time" Serena said seductively. Watching him go down on his knees, taking his warm tongue on and around her clit. Suddenly he picks her up, pinning her against the wall. Serena knows what to do, in a split second, her legs were up to her chest and Ash was already inside her. Shauna turned her head, seeing Serena with Ash like this was something she just had to witness with her own eyes. Shauna noticed a couple things. First was how fast Ash was going, taking short rapid breaths to ram himself deeper. And second, Serena was really enjoying herself, she clawed her fingers into Ash's shoulders, it just made her wonder, she's next.. is she ready?

Just as sudden as he entered, Ash removed himself from Serena, he turned to Shauna, "Would you like me to go easy on you or full on hardcore?" Ash asked, learning his lesson from yesterday.

Shauna gave her a confused look, "Oh please. Don't hold back." She wondered why he would ask, but she was already here and might as well get the full experience. That was all Ash needed to get started, he squatted down, took a good look at her pussy and ass, just for visual comparison with the others, it was very perky, not as big as Dawn's or Serena's but decent. Ash used his tongue to part her pussy, it was soft and warm he just had to get in now. He did, Ash had a little difficulty going fast, it was as if she was griping his dick to slow him down, but Ash wasn't going to let that happen. His hands took turns spanking her, loosening her enough to give her what she came for. Ash got that feeling inside that told him it was time.

"Alright ladies, It's time." Ash announced flexing his muscles.

"Time for what?" Aria was really curious, she just wanted more fun.

"Time for the Quick Attack." Dawn's face lit up. It's been a long time since she's experienced Ash's quick attack.

"That's right, I'm going to give you all an orgasm in record time, using every bit of my skill. But I will only cum inside one of you.. who is it gon-"

"I Want It! .. Please." Aria blurted out, clearly she was pulling out all the stops today. She sounded almost desperate but kept her cute smile all the way.

"Perfect. Now let me demonstrate how this works, Dawn" Ash took Dawn by the hand, turned her around and bent her over. Dawn placed her hands behind her back, to which Ash got a hold on, his tip entered her. He took a deep breath and just plowed deep inside the coordinator. A series of rapid thrusts followed. Ash's midsection slammed and bounced off Dawns perfect round ass. But the look on Dawn's face was pure bliss, what the others don't know yet is that the quick attack is literally a quick attack on the womb, practically guaranteeing an orgasm quickly.

Dawn's breasts bounced back and forth, she couldn't hold on any longer. "Ah! AAh! AAH!" Dawn's orgasmic yells filled the small control room, informing everyone of her explosive climax. Ash forgot how difficult it was to keep himself from cumming when Dawn did, her pussy constricted his dick hard, and her cum battled his shaft for dominance inside her. Ash toughed it out though, slowly pulling out he could feel her cum ready to spill out. And it did, three big splats on the floor. The others looked in amazement.

"That's all her by the way!" Ash wanted to clarify that what they saw is what they were going to get soon enough.

"You know I'll have what She's having" Serena stepped forward courageously.

Ash got into position, "Ready?"

"Y-AH!" Serena was startled by Ash's sudden thrust. But once it started, it wasn't going to stop until she came. To prolong her time with Ash, she tried everything she could to prevent her orgasm. From biting her lip, to holding on tight to something, in this case, her own hands as Ash held on to her by her elbows. But Serena has never felt Ash's Quick Attack, her tight pussy couldn't stop his rock hard dick from slamming her cervix over and over and over again. About a minute into it Serena was loosing her battle. So much pleasure came to her, she just had to let go and call it a day. Dropping her head down, Serena's body began to tremble, Ash did it again, the hot cum on his dick means two down, two to go. Or more like one to go, he just had to get past Shauna and he could let it out on Aria. After Serena's orgasmic 'struggle' Ash pulled out, Dawn took Serena, preventing her from collapsing to the ground. More cum on the floor and a little left on her leg.

Ash turns his head to Shauna, "Get it while it's hot"

"Hmph." Shauna sighed at him, "If Serena can do it, I sure can too! So, how does this work?"

Ash took her arm, spun her around and guided his cock inside her. "I'll take it from here" Ash didn't bother bend her over, he could accomplish his goal standing up.

Shauna was surprised, he went so deep so fast she didn't know what to do, so she just stood there meeting every thrust with her moans. It wasn't long until Ash felt it. He didn't feel her pussy tighten up, all he felt was her juices running along side his shaft. Ash was kinda surprised also, his quick attack on Shauna only lasted a little over a minute. But he got the job done and that's all that matters.

"Dawn," Ash looked at Dawn to help Shauna also after he pulls out. Shauna was awake to see her cum hit the ground, but Dawn helped her out anyway. Serena recovered from her orgasm, in time to see the Queen take the final turn on Ash.

"I Need This So Bad! You Ready?" Aria was thoroughly grinding her pussy on his shaft.

"Am I Ready?!" Ash could see the lust i her eyes, it reminded him of the look Cynthia and Diantha had. Busy people with busy lives, too busy to satisfy their sexual desires. Aria took his hands over to her breasts.

"Give it to me Now!" She ordered, and he complied. Parting the Queen's tight walls apart to reach the farthest point of her. Back and Forth Ash went, with an interesting goal for Aria, can he enter her womb? Nothing can stop him from trying. "Ah! Yes! Ash! Work It! Just- Like- That!" Aria's smile just never seemed to disappear. Ash could feel his tip flick around with her opening. Ash was close to cumming but he wasn't going to slow down because of it.

"Argh!" Ash grunted feeling it was time.

"Yes Give it To Me! Give It To Meee!" The pleasure train hit her square in the face. But she kept her smile. Ash was panting by the time he finished dumping his load inside the Queen's pussy.

A few minute passed, silence filled the room of satisfied trainers and performers. An explosion inside the battlefield shook the ground reminding everyone what they were doing before all of this happened.

"We need to clean up quickly!" Dawn and Ash shouted. Serena and Shauna scattered to find their garments, as did Aria who was adjusting her hair. Dawn got redressed first and quickly left the room. Serena wondered where she went but she came back just as quickly with a handful of toilet paper, probably from next door. She gave half to Ash, and they cleaned up the floor to the best of their abilities. Now the others have redressed and recovered to the way they were before.

"Alright ladies, Not a word of this to anybody. Got it?" Aria sounded like she meant business.

"You got it" Serena and Shauna agreed walking out of the control room with the others. Entering the battlefield, Clemont and Tierno were battling now but stopped when they saw them.

"There he is! Hey Ash How About A Battle!?" Yelled Tierno, his enthusiasm was off the charts.

"Sure But, Can we do it after Lunch? I'm starving." Ash used a ton of energy jut now and needed to refuel.

Now the entire gang was together accompanied by the Kalos Queen, she took them to a nearby restaurant that was one of her favorites. There the crew ate and caught up with each other, reminiscing of old times and great memories.

12:00pm. 3 hours before Ash's departure.

Aria had left the group a little while ago, her schedule called, paying the bill the Queen thanked everyone for such a great time and wished everyone the best of luck in their journeys.

"Now about that battle.." Ash looked at Tierno with the willpower he's known for.

"I would like to battle also"

Seeing Dawn offer herself to battle made her want to join too. "I could use a battle also"

"Anyone else?" Clemont looked ready to go as did Trevor and Shauna.

"I would if I were stronger, but I think I'll sit this one out" said Bonnie looking at all 7 trainers gearing up for a battle.

The gang walked to an open area in the city and spread out in three teams.

"This will be a Three-Team Elimination Tag Battle! Consisting the team of Ash & Dawn VS. Serena & Shauna VS. Tierno, Trevor & I. Each trainer will use three pokemon and once all three are unable to continue, that trainer will be eliminated, the last team standing will be the winner. Furthermore substitutions are allowed at anytime. Understood?" Clemont was so loud and clear that even the surrounding bystanders heard and couldn't believe it. Soon after a large crowd gathered to watch such a battle.

Seeing that Trevor's team had the numbers advantage, Ash and Serena's team focused on eliminating them first. However, soon after two of Clemont's pokemon were unable to continue, his team formed an alliance against Dawn & Ash. It was now a 5 on 2 battle. Talonflame and Togekiss turned this into a sky battle, taking out two of Trevor and Shauna's pokemon. Serena, Clemont and Tierno focused on Ash while Trevor and Shauna focused on Dawn and it worked. Now they were both down one. But it was still a three team elimination battle; Serena and Shauna took Trevor by surprise and eliminated him from the battle.

"We can do this Serena! I believe in You"

" Same here! Just look for an opening!" Serena and Shauna were in perfect sync.

Buneary and Greninja join the battle. His presence got everyone's attention, take out Greninja quick! Ash expected a strong opposition but everyone was after him. Dawn did her best to fight off the others but Tierno and Clemont were just the distraction Serena and Shauna made the critical hits with Ivysaur. It worked, Greninja fought long and hard but could not fight off all of them at the same time. Buneary was taken out right after he was. Like last time Serena and Shauna attempted to attack Tierno and Clemont but this time they were expecting that and countered. Meanwhile for Ash and Dawn, it was crunch time. Down to their final pokemon, it was only right they go with their starters and best friends, Pikachu and Piplup.

"As long as we're together..."

"We can overcome any problem." Ash finished Dawn's thought. And with that the strong due emerged, sensing the situation from their trainers and understood what needed to be done. Serena and Clemont both faced off against them before and know what to expect.

"Shauna! Watch out for their combinations!" Serena yelled out.

"They're the ones that should worry about OUR combinations!" Shauna was fired up and ready to go big or go home.

At first Ash and Dawn didn't go on the offense, instead they waited for them to attack first and counter with a devastating combination. Tierno witnessed first hand what their teamwork can do and was eliminated. Clemont was the last of his team, he decided to lay back for the time being. Shauna went after Dawn and Serena went after Ash, while they held back to protect each other. Just as amazing as it was to watch a coordinator and a performer battle, this time it was Two Performers in perfect sync with each other against a coordinator and a veteran in battles also in perfect sync. But Ash and Dawn had a plan, it involved the third leg or should we say the fifth leg in the table, Clemont. The plan was to provoke him to attack and use his attack to strengthen their combination attack on Serena and Shauna. Their crazy plan worked! Within the span of 10 seconds, two massive explosions covered the field, blinding everyone in attendance. The smoke and water vapor vanishes to reveal Ivysaur and Braixen unable to battle. And not to mention the blast took out Luxray also, eliminating Clemont, Shauna and Serena. Pikachu and Piplup were badly damaged but still standing.

Ash and Dawn, gave each other a loud high five and were about to hug and kiss, but quickly remembered they were in front of all their friends and they can't show that to anyone, even if according to many, 'is pretty obvious' But now it was time to do what trainers do when their pokemon are hurt, the gang needed a pokemon center. They left the area, with an earful of cheers and applause from the crowd who had gathered to watch.

After the center did they finally checked the time and realized it was 2:35pm. Less than half an hour to go!

A mad dash to the airport and now they can finally rest easy for now. 15 minutes to go. It was time for their final goodbyes.

"Well, I guess this is it.. Clemont" Ash took a deep breath. "You take good care of the Lumiose Gym and Bonnie I hope you'll find someone to take care of Clemont." He teased.

"You can count on me Ash!" Bonnie assured him, she didn't seem bothered by Ash's departure, something inside her told her this wasn't really goodbye and she played along with that belief.

"Tierno, Shauna, Trevor, it was an honor and a pleasure to get to know and battle you on this journey of mine. Thank you"

Tierno was getting teary-eyed, "Best of luck to you on becoming pokemon Master."

"We'll battle again someday!" Trevor added.

"Hey," Serena wanted to talk to Dawn for a bit. "...whatever you guys get into, just take care of each other alright?"

"No need to worry Serena, when we're together, nothing can stop us. Take care of yourself Serena" Dawn gave her a warm hug. "And take care of your friend Shauna also.." She winked realizing their relationship was 'obvious' also.

Ash turned his attention to Serena. "Serena.. You've been a big help to me and I couldn't repay you enough for everything. This is not goodbye forever, this is just goodbye for now.. That goes for everyone."

"I'm the one who should be thanking you Ash. Everything I did was because of you. Which is why I decided to go to Hoenn. Not now, but later to get a change in scenery.. I know You'll become a pokemon Master one day Ash, and when you do, I'll be the new Kalos Queen!" Serena stuck her hand out, "You can count on it"

Ash shook to it, she pulled him in and gave him a kiss in front of everyone. Smiling afterwards, she walked back next to Shauna.

"That was bold." Shauna wasn't expecting that.

"You should've seen my first kiss with Ash.." She said under her breath, but it was enough for Shauna to hear.

"What?!"

Serena nodded her head signifying another story for another day. She rested her head on her shoulder, taking Dawn's advice into consideration.

Dawn walked up to Ash, about to reveal to the others what she had already told Ash when she first arrived to Kalos. "Remember how I was suppose to go with you to Kanto last time?.. This time I can for sure!"

"Awesome! That makes the long flight back easier" Looking into her eyes the same way he does when they plan something dirty.

The public address system announced the boarding of the flight to Saffron City in the Kanto region.

With that our hero waved a goodbye and thanked them all for great memories and they all wished each other the best of luck in their journeys. And just like that they disappeared past the gates ready to head back to Kanto and walk back together to Pallet Town. Whatever happens now, they'll still have each other and they'll soon realize, that's really all they need in this amazing world of Pokemon.

With all the Wild and Exotic Adventures experienced by these two, they really did Finish a Journey Stronger.

The End ...
