RWOL is here another new pokemon story. It's titled Ultimate Frontier Brain and it is in response to several stories where Ash decides to become a frontier brain after the Sinnoh league. Well this one is different, instead of becoming a frontier brain after Sinnoh; he becomes one after beating the Kanto Battle Frontier. Now this story will have some changes to it.

Ash is much smarter and more skilled than in the anime. His skills will not be reset like they do in the anime, and he'll have more pokemon available to him. He will both canon and non-canon pokemon, including legendaries. He will also have powerful Aura abilities.

This story will be an Ashxharem story with the girls being listed at the end of the chapter. Well let's get on with the story. Disclaimer I do not own Pokemon or any other works under the franchise. Read on!

Chapter 1: VS Anabel

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Battle Tower: Second Floor; Ability Symbol Challenge

The time had come for Ash to have his rematch against Anabel for the Ability Symbol. Anabel proved why she is the second strongest of the Frontier Brains, but this time Ash would be the victor. He requested a full six-on-six battle and the lineup he had on him would help him this battle. Anabel stood opposite of Ash, a confident smirk on her face as she wondered how Ash planned to battle her this time. Anabel knew Ash didn't battle his best due to those idiotic Team Rocket members, but now she could face the true Ash Ketchum in battle and see his true skill and power.

"I hope you're ready for this Ash." Anabel called out to her crush. "I'm not going to hold back against you. I'm going to all out so prepare to taste my power!"

Ash chuckled before retorting, "I would be insulted if you held back against me Anabel. But know this, it is you who is going to taste my power and get crushed by it!" Ash had to admit that there was something about Anabel that just drew him to her, unlike the other girls he met. She has that special something and maybe it was time to give this love thing a try.

"This battle is for the Ability Symbol." the robotic referee began. "In the green section is the challenger; Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town." Ash's friends cheered for him to win it all, which Ash nodded with a cocksure smirk.

"And in the red section the Frontier Brain of the Battle Tower Salon Maiden Anabel!" Anabel gave Ash a dazzling smile as she prepared herself for battle.

"This battle will be a full six-on-six battle with substitutions allowed for both sides. When one trainer loses three of their pokemon first, we'll take a ten minute break, before continuing with the battle. The first trainer that eliminates the opposing trainer's team will be declared the winner." the robotic referee announced. "Trainers choose your first pokemon!"

"Alakazam my friend, come out!" Anabel said as released her trusted Psychic-type.

"Show 'em your will Corpish!" Ash said as he called out the Ruffian Pokémon. Corphish appeared with a cry, the Water-type scowling at the Psi Pokémon.

"So Ash is going with Corphish? It would have been easier if Ash caught a Dark-type since they're super-effective against Psychic-types." Max said as he, his sister May, Brock and Scott watched the battle.

"Alakazam use Focus Blast and speed it up with Psychic." Anabel ordered telepathically to her pokémon. Alakazam gather energies between his spoons that formed a large ball of silvery-white that soon gained a blue aura. Ash frowned as he quickly realized what was happening.

"Corphish use Bulk Up into Sword Dance then Night Slash full power!" Ash ordered his Water-type who glowed a silvery-white from Bulk Up and then a fiery red increasing its attack even more with Swords Dance before launching a fiercely powerful Night Slash just as Alakazam launched its attack. Psychic enhanced Focus Blast met Night Slash in a fierce struggle before the two exploded, covering the field with a dust cloud.

"Corphish use Extremespeed into Crunch!"

"Alakazam use Protect then Hyper Beam."

Corphish literally blurred into in front of Alakazam who tried to erect a half-hearted Protect but couldn't block all of the attack. The Psi Pokemon took serious super-effective damage but was able to recover to launch the Hyper Beam at the surprised Corpshish who took it head on.

"Corpshich are you alright?" Ash asked his pokémon. The Ruffian Pokémon got up instantly, having some burn marks here and there, but relatively okay. "Good. Use Hone Claws, then Taunt followed up with Scald!"

"Phish!" Corphish shouted as he raised his attack and accuracy by a stage each. Then he Taunted Alakazam, angering the Psi Pokémon and preventing him from using Hyper Beam again throughout the battle. Then Scald was launched, and due to Hyper Beam's effect, Alakazam was hit by the attack and left with a nasty burn. Anabel gritted her teeth at this turn of events, trying to figure out how to the tide back in her favor.

"Corphish use Rain Dance followed up with Crabhammer!" Ash ordered. A blue aura surrounded Corphish before flying off into the sky, bringing rain clouds as a rainfall appeared almost instantly. With its Water-type moves' attack power increased by 50%, Corphish vanished and landed a devastating blow on Alakazam, scoring a vicious critical hit on the Psi Pokemon.

"Alakazam use Calm Mind then Psychic to hold him in place so Psycho Cut can hit easier!" Alakazam raised his Special Attack and defense then channeled psychic energies into its spoons before locking Corphish in place before making a slashing motion sending Psycho Cut at the immobilized Ruffian Pokémon. The high critical hit move landed, but to everyone's surprise except Ash, Corphish was still standing and ready to continue.

"But how? Psycho Cut is a high critical hit attack that increases when it successfully hits." Anabel said still in shock.

"The reason that Corpshish is still okay is his second ability, Shell Armor, which protects him from critical hits." Ash revealed to the stunned audience.

"Wait you mean that Corphish has not one, but two abilities? But isn't that impossible?" Max asked his shock increasing.

"While it is rare for a pokemon to have two abilities, it's not impossible. Ash's Snorlax actually has two abilities when Professor Oak looked over it." Brock countered.

"Corphish use Swagger then X-Scissors!" Corphish swaggered about the field, sharply increasing Alakazam's attack power, but making the Psi Pokémon highly confused. Anabel tried to psychically order her pokémon, but Alakazam only hurt itself in its confusion. Alakazam was knocked down by a powerful X-Scissor that dealt some serious damage. "Corphish end this with another X-Scissor followed up with Hyper Beam!"

Another X-Scissor was launched and connected with the still confused Psi Pokémon before an orange of destruction hit it and left the Psi Pokémon KO'd.

"Alakazam is unable to battle. The round goes to Ash and Corphish." the referee declared. "Salon Maiden Anabel, send out your second pokémon."

Anabel recalled her fallen Alakazam and it words of thank before sending out her second pokémon. "Metagross, come out my friend." Anabel said as she sent her Pseudo-legendary Steel/Psychic. The Iron Leg Pokémon was ready to battle and bring about a victory for its master.

"Corphish you ready for another round?" Ash asked his pokemon who nodded an affirmative. "Alright let's do this with Surf then a Brick Break!"

"Cor...phish!" Corphish shouted as he fired a massive Surf attack he rode in order to deliver the Brick Break.

"Metagross use Psychic to disperse that Surf, then use it to hold Corphish down so you can hit it with Meteor Mash!"

Metagross glowed a powerful, intense blue aura of immense psychic power that forcibly dispersed the Surf, held the shocked Corphish in place before flying like a jet at the immobile Ruffian Pokémon and hit it with a powerful Meteor Mash. Corphish landed with a thud, creating a crater and a large dust cloud. When it cleared, it revealed a KO'd Corphish.

"Corphish is unable to battle. The round goes to Metagross and Salon Maiden Anabel. Green Trainer send out your next pokémon."

Recalling his fallen pokémon with some words of thanks, Ash pulled out his second pokeball. "Show 'em your will Tauros!" With a loud moo, Tauros appeared ready to avenge its lost against the Salon Maiden. He is a bovine covered in light brown fur, with a thick darker brown mane around the neck. His nose is also dark brown. He has a pair of curved, gray horns atop his head, and three silver studs on his forehead. Each of his three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot.

"Metagross use use Iron Defense then Meteor Mash."

"Tauros use Protect followed by Retaliate!" Ash ordered his Wild Bull Pokémon. Tauros gave a guttural moo as he projected a powerful green barrier that blocked the Meteor Mash. The Wild Bull Pokémon hit the double powered Retaliate at the Iron Leg Pokémon. Metagross groaned from the impact as it was knocked back. "Tauros use Flamethrower!" Ash ordered, wanting to keep on the offensive. Tauros launched a large torrent of fire at the Iron Leg Pokémon, dealing super-effective damage to the Psuedo-legendary. "Alright hit 'em with another Flamethrower followed up by Thunder!" Tauros launched another Flamethrower that hit spot on followed by a powerful Thunder, sending the Steel/Psychic back to Anabel's side of the arena.

"Metagross use Iron Defense again and then use Hyper Beam at full power." Metagross increased its defense stat again before launching an orange beam of destruction known as Hyper Beam at Tauros.

"Tauros use Double Team then Bulldoze!" Mooing, Tauros created several clones which forced Anabel to order Metagross to Psychic to better control the Hyper Beam to hit all of them. Each of the clones vanished, but the attack didn't hit the real Tauros as the real one came up on Metagross's blind spot and hit the super-effective Bulldoze. Metagross turned to hit a Meteor Mash, but was caught by Tauros' horns. Then, using his powerful neck muscles alone, Tauros threw the 1212.5lbs Iron Leg Pokémon in the air.

"HOLY SHIT!" was Anabel, Brock, Max and May's reaction to Tauros' power. Scott just smirked as he watched the battle, enjoying it greatly.

"Metagross use Hyper Beam again and then follow up with another Meteor Mash!"

Metagross fired off the orange beam of destruction that succeeded in grazing Tauros who charged at the Iron Leg Pokémon readying a powerful Take Down attack. Meteor Mash met Take Down in fierce struggle until the vast energies from the struggle to explode, damaging both pokémon.

"Metagross/Tauros!" Anabel and Ash shouted in concern for their pokémon. When the explosion died down and the dust settled, both pokémon were knocked out.

"Both pokémon are unable to battle. The round is a draw. Trainers send out your next pokémon."

Anabel recalled her fallen Metagross, giving it words of thanks before looking over to see Ash thanking his Tauros for a hard fought battle with a friendly hug. Anabel smiled, knowing that Ash's love for his pokémon was one of the reasons she fell so deeply in love with him. That kind of love, respect and devotion could easily be given to her when she finally wins his heart.

"Espeon, come out my friend." Anabel said as she brought her starter pokémon.

"Pikachu you're up buddy." Ash called to his starter. Pikachu nodded his head and raced unto the field and stared the Sun Pokémon. It would be a battle of starters for this round. "Alright lest start this off with a Quick Attack." Ash ordered his starter. Pikachu rushed the Sun Pokémon intent to hurt her, but Espeon countered with her own Quick Attack to dodge and then nail Pikachu hard. "Okay then try Iron Tail Pikachu!" Ash told the Electric Mouse. Tail glowing with Steel-type energies, Pikachu was determined to bash Espeon's head in, only to be dismayed when she countered his Iron Tail with her own and dealt him some damage.

"Pikachu Thunderbolt!" Pikachu shouted as he launched the Thunderbolt, but Espeon countered with a Zap Cannon caused an explosion and sent Pikachu flying. Ash, determined, had Pikachu launched another Thunderbolt but the Sun Pokémon dodged nimbly and used Psychic to slam the Electric Mouse into the ceiling. Pikachu recovered quickly and used Quick Attack. Espeon repeated its last attack and sent Pikachu into the ceiling.

This time, however, Pikachu was able to compress himself and bounce off the ceiling and onto one of the lights. The proceeding Thunderbolt knocked out the power, making the whole floor go pitch black. Once again, Pikachu used Thunderbolt, landing his first hit on Espeon. Espeon used Zap Cannon, forcing the electricity back. Pikachu dodged the attack and jumped from light to light, avoiding all the Zap Cannons thrown at him while launching successful Thunderbolts.

"Espeon, my friend calm down! Don't let your anger get the best of you!" Anabel psychically warned her starter but was ignored. The continued Thunderbolts that pelted her only served in furthering her anger, thus she blocked out Anabel's voice. Again, Espeon was hit with a Thunderbolt. When the lights came back on, Espeon was hit again with Iron Tail. Without wasting any time, Pikachu used Volt Tackle. Espeon tried to counter attack with Zap Cannon, but it simply flew off Pikachu. Espeon was hit with Volt Tackle and was ultimately defeated.

"Espeon is unable to battle. The round goes to Pikachu and Ash. Since Salon Maiden Anabel has lost three of her pokémon, the ten minute intermission will begin."

Anabel recalled her fallen starter, shaking her head at how she lost her composure like that. Taking a seat on the competitor's bench in the box, Anabel fingered the two ultra-balls and the master ball on her belt.

'Let's see how you deal with these three my love.' Anabel thought to herself. Pikachu relaxed from his hard fought battle as Ash meditated a bit, knowing that the battle would get tougher after this.

"This is quite match. Ash has a slight lead but knowing him he'll pull it off." Max said as he waited for the next half to begin.

"True Max, but remember that Anabel can and will make a serious come back if Ash gets cocky." Brock countered.

"Shhh! The second half is about to begin." May said as the competitors released their pokémon.

"Latios, come out my friend." Anabel called out with a smirk at the stunned faces. Before them was a shiny version of the Hoenn Legendary; green and white instead of blue and white with yellow eyes instead of red eyes. Ash narrowed his eyes as he stared down the shiny legendary. It would explain why Anabel seemed so sure of beating him this time. But Ash smirked; his experience with Legendary Pokémon would help him this battle.

"Glalie let's go!" Ash said bringing out the Face Pokémon. "Glalie use Icy Wind into Ice Beam." Ash ordered. Glalie roared as it launched both an Icy Wind and the Ice Beam at the Eon Dragon.

"Latios use Safe Guard then Dragon Pulse!" Anabel ordered her Eon Dragon. Latios glowed a powerful blue as he protected himself from the two super-effective attacks. Latios then launched a massive shockwave of draconic energy toward Glalie that dealt him serious damage, but the Face Pokémon hung in there.

"Glalie use Hail then Blizzard." Ash ordered his ice pokemon. Thanks to Glalie's ability Ice Body, it'll recover health over the course of Hail, while the Blizzard won't miss and has a 25% chance of bypassing Protect. Glalie glowed an intense icy-blue aura that shot off into the atmosphere and unleashed hail. Blizzard was amplified and dealt serious super-effective damage to the Eon Dragon who roared in anger at the move. "Glalie use Gyro Ball!" The Face Pokémon sped towards the Eon Dragon, picking up speed as it rolled.

"Latios use Dragon Claw, overwhelm him!"Latios energized his claws with draconic energies as he rushed the rolling Glalie. Latios unloaded Dragon Claw after Dragon Claw, doing little actual damage but steadily pushing Glalie back. Glalie, thinking quickly, launched an unsuspecting Ice Beam at the dragon, dealing even more damage to Latios. Latios disengaged his Dragon Claw onslaught after being hit with the sneak attack Ice Beam. "Latios use DragonBreath!" The Eon Dragon launched a bluish-purple ball of draconic fire at the Face Pokémon, scoring an effective hit.

"Glalie use Payback then Frost Breath!" Ash ordered. Since Latios attacked first, Payback would double in power while Frost Breath would land as a critical hit. Latios grunted in pain form the Dark-type attack while he got more damage from the critical hit Frost Breath. "Glalie use Powder Snow and follow up with Crunch!"

"Latios end this with Luster Purge!" Anabel ordered. Latios cooed as he began charging psionic energies for his signature attack. Ash, sensing danger, ordered Glalie to cancel the previous orders and use Giga Impact to counter whatever Anabel and her Latios were going to unleash. Moments later, the two pocket monsters had reached maximum fire power and launched their respective attacks. Luster Purge met Giga Impact in an impressive display of power and might, the two pokémon pouring every ounce of power they could into their attacks. This continued for a few more moments before Glalie broke the stale mate with a tremendous force of will, pushed closer to Latios until the massive energies could no longer be contained and exploded.

"Latios/Glalie!" the two screamed, barely heard over the explosion. When the dust finally cleared, both Latios and Glalie were out of commission with swirls for eyes.

"Both Latios and Glalie are unable to battle. This battle is a draw." the referee announced. "Trainers send out your next pokémon." Both the Salon Maiden and the Intrepid Trainer recalled their pokémon with words of thanks before bringing out their next pokémon.

"Show 'em your will Primeape!" Ash said as he summoned his Pig Monkey Pokémon and the Undisputed P1 Champion. Brock was shocked that Ash got Primeape back, having to explain to May and Max the history with Ash and Primeape.

"So Ash gave Primeape to Anthony so it could become the P1 Champion?" Max asked as he thought about it before nodding. "It must have succeeded then if Ash has it back then. But they're at a serious type disadvantage since Psychic-types are super-effective against Fighting-types."

"Latias my friend come out!" Anabel said as she recalled Latios and summoned his sister. The shiny Latias, yellow and white in color, gave a gentle coo as she stared at Ash's glaring Primeape. "Latias use Mist Ball, full power!"

"Primeape use Protect then Taunt!" Projecting a powerful barrier, Primeape blocked Latias' signature attack then Taunted the Eon Dragon, keeping her from using Mist Ball again. "Primeape use Attract then Poison Jab!" The order was surprising as Primeape gave a roguish wink that infatuated Latias. Anabel face-palmed herself, knowing she fell for Ash's maverick tactics again. Deeply infatuated with Primeape, Latias didn't defend herself against her "love's" Poison Jab and follow up Acrobatics. Anabel tried to snap Latias out of her forced infatuation only to have her face imitate a tomato at the rather X-rated images flowing through the Eon Dragon's mind.

Who knew that Latias was a pervert?

"Primeape keep it up with Hyper Beam!" With a guttural growl, Primeape powered up a Hyper Beam between his fists, before charging at the still in love Latias. Much to Anabel's happiness, Latias finally snapped out of the Primeape induced Attract only to grit her teeth when Latias was hit with an up close and personal Hyper Beam. Latias groaned as she picked herself off the ground shaking her head free of the cobwebs.

"Latias use Calm Mind then Dragon Breath at full power." Anabel ordered. Soon Latias closed her eyes and focused her mind with slight white glow to her body.

"Primeape use Overheat followed by Focus Energy then Punishment!" Ash ordered knowing he needed to keep the pressure on Anabel. Primeape growled as he launched the Overheat, focused his energies and executed Punishment. Latias snapped her eyes open launched bluish-purple draconic flames as the Overheat rushed towards her.

The two flame type attacks collided fiercely before exploding a few moments later. Latias exploded out the dust cloud using Dragon Rush and bashed Primeape with extreme force. The Pig Monkey Pokemon glared viciously before using Payback on Latias instead of the ordered Punishment.

Latias winced in pain as Primeape executed Payback which doubled in power since she attacked first, knocking her to the ground. Primeape, in the beginning stages of Thrash, plowed into the Eon Dragon with Bulldoze, dealing some serious damage. Ash seeing this, ordered Primeape to use Thrash, knowing that when using the move Primeape was all but unstoppable.

Primeape was merciless in his assault on Latias, battering the Eon Dragon around with almost criminal intent and unbridled viciousness. Latias was on the defensive the entire time, unable to attack and just trying to survive the brutal assault she was suffering.

A few moments later, Primeape stopped his assault due to Thrash's negative affect of confusion setting in, getting both Anabel and Latias to sigh in relief.

"Latias use Dragon Dance then finish him with Dragon Rush!" Anabel ordered her dragon. Latias did a mystic, powerful dance that increased her attack power greatly and took on a sapphire glow of Dragon Rush. Little did she and Anabel know, they were rushing to their shared defeat. Right when Latias was about to connect with Primeape, the Eon Dragon found herself in a vicious neck lock by the Pig Monkey Pokémon who glared at her with the most frightening glare she's ever seen.

"Primeape use Seismic Toss!" Ash ordered. Glaring viciously, the Pig Monkey Pokémon jumped high in the air, did three revolutions before flying towards the ground and brutally slamming the Eon Dragon into it. The tower shook once again as everyone waited for the carnage to be revealed. Primeape stood victorious over a KO'd Latias.

"Latias is unable to battle. The round goes to Ash and Primeape." the referee said. "Salon Maiden Anabel, send out your last pokemon."

Anabel recalled her fallen pokemon, looking at her crush with a dazzling smile. "I'll have to admit it Ash. You are the first person to push me so far since I became a Frontier Brain three years ago, but now it's time to show you one of the reasons why Scott asked me to join the Battle Frontier." Anabel smiled a vicious smile as she brought out her Master Ball. "Oh mighty Thunder Emperor, I beseech thee to lend me thy might. Bring forth the storms of victory and smite thy foe with the thunders of defeat. Come forth Raikou!" Anabel intoned as she summoned her most powerful and trusted pokémon. The Legend of Thunder roared as he appeared with the roar of thunder echoing throughout the arena.

"Just how many legendaries does Anabel have? This is the third one Anabel used throughout this battle." Brock asked since this was the first time he has seen so many legendaries in one pokémon battle. Scott merely smiled that smile of his, no one able to understand what's going on inside that mind of his.

"To answer your question Brock, Anabel has three legendaries: Raikou, Latios and Latias. It's one of the reasons I asked her join the Battle Frontier. Her skill is immense for her age and there's no telling how powerful she'll become in the future." Scott answered.

Ash's friends considered what they heard; this would make Anabel the second Frontier Brain to have a legendary pokémon with the first being Noland with that Articuno of his. It also begged the question; will the final Frontier Brain have any legendary pokémon of his/her own?

"Damn this is a truly a spectacular match." Max said smiling only to get slapped upside the head by his sister who scolded him about his language.

"Raikou end this with Thunder, full power!" Anabel ordered.

"Primeape use Protect and then follow up with Drain Punch!" Ash ordered the Pig Monkey Pokémon. Erecting the powerful barrier, Primeape waited out the Thunder before launching himself at the Thunder Pokémon. Raikou charged at its foe, its fangs glowing with electricity indicating Thunder Fang is active.

Primeape barely dodged the Thunder Fang, getting only grazed but was successful in hitting Drain Punch and restoring some of his energies. The Pig Monkey Pokémon hit another successful Drain Punch, gaining more energy from his foe, but was hit with a Discharge attack. Thankfully he wasn't paralyzed, but it hurt like a mother fucker!

"Raikou use Shadow Ball!"

"Primeape counter with Cross Chop!"

The blob of shadowy energies was sliced in two as Primeape double chopped it and Raikou, getting a critical hit on the Thunder Pokémon. Raikou shrouded itself in electricity and smashed into Primeape, Ash recognizing the move to be Wild Charge. He countered with Close Combat, which Primeape executed beautifully. The Thunder Pokémon grunted as it picked itself up and launched a powerful Thunder that struck spot on and launched the Pig Monkey Pokémon to fly backwards. Primeape jumped up, a fire in his eyes at facing such a powerful opponent.

'Damn! What does it take to beat that damned Primeape?' Anabel thought to herself as she the fires in Primeape's eyes. 'That Pig Monkey is only getting more and more fired up! It's enjoying this battle way too much for my liking! All I'm getting from it is the happiness of being back with Ash and fighting such a strong opponent in Raikou! I've got to take that thing down NOW!' "Raikou use Zap Cannon then Giga Impact!"

"Primeape try to dodge and hit another Close Combat!" Ash ordered hurriedly catching onto Anabel's plan. Zap Cannon would paralyze Primeape to allow Giga Impact to hit more easily. The Pig Monkey tried to dodge, but Zap Cannon was faster and struck home. Paralyzed, Primeape could only take the Giga Impact as Raikou struck him. When the dust cleared, everyone including Scott was surprised to see Primeape still standing and still ready to fight. "Primeape use Final Gambit now!" Ash ordered. The Pig Monkey Pokémon shrouded himself in a vicious grayish-black aura before rushing the immobilized Thunder Pokémon and executing a brutal left hook to Raikou's jaw. Primape fainted due to Final Gambit's effect, but he dealt Raikou some serious damage before so.

With both of them down to their last pokémon, the battle could go either way for Ash or Anabel, but will Raikou be able to bring victory to Anabel once again or will Ash snatch it away?

"Go Charizard!" Ash said he brought out by far his strongest pokémon. With a roar and torrent of fire, the Flame Pokémon was rearing to go. "Charizard use Flamethrower!"

"Raikou counter with Thunderbolt!

Thunder and Fire clashed violently before exploding and the two pokémon leapt into the fray, just fighting it out.

"Charge Beam!"

"Dragon Claw!"

"Fire Spin!"

"Zap Cannon!"

"Inferno!"

"Thunder Wave!"

And this was how the rest of the battle went, attacks going back and forth, explosions all over the place as the two monster battle for their masters. Throughout the battle, Charizard smiled an insane smile at facing such a powerful foe. He lived for such challenges; it was why he chose to stay at the Characific Valley. Sure leaving his best friend/master was an emotional moment, but Ash understood why he needed to stay.

With each battle with those monstrously strong Charizard, the frequent training with Liza's friend Clair and sometimes her cousin Lance, it only served to make Charizard stronger. It was with that power he faced off against the legendaries from Kanto to Hoenn. Sure each battle was a lost, but each lost taught him something and only added fuel to the fire. He would continue to get stronger not only for himself but also for his friend Ash. And he finally succeeded when he defeated Noland's Articuno, so the Flame Pokémon was confident he'll beat the Thunder Pokémon.

"Charizard use Flare Blitz!" Ash ordered. With a roar, Charizard cloaked himself in an aura of fire and slammed into Raikou causing the Thunder Pokémon to do three flips before it landed roughly on its back. The Flame Pokémon fought through the pain and readied himself for Raikou's counterattack.

"Raikou finish this with Wild Charge!" Charizard was shaken from his thoughts as he sensed Raikou's energy spike and saw a large ball of electricity coming towards him.

"Charizard use Flame Burst quickly!" Charizard launched the Flame Burst. It collided with Raikou's Wild Charge and stalled the Legend of Thunder for a few moments before the legend plowed through the Flame Burst and connected with Charizard. Charizard refused to fall here and grabbed the Thunder Pokémon before flying up into the sky.

Ash caught onto Charizard's plan and knew it was time to end this battle. "Charizard use Sky Drop then fire Sunny Day to power up your Blast Burn!" Raikou was unable to attack to Sky Drop's effect, and could only wait until its foe launched it towards the ground. As the Raikou missile headed towards earth, Charizard sent out a Sunny Day and used it to increase the power of the Fire-type Hyper Beam variation Blast Burn.

"Raikou try to counter with Thunder!" Anabel ordered hastily knowing she couldn't let Blast Burn hit. The Thunder Pokémon gathered what energy he could and launched it at Charizard, who at the same moment launched his Blast Burn. Due to Sunny Day's effect, the Blast Burn received an immense power boost and thus tore through the hastily fired Thunder and slammed into Raikou, turning the Thunder Pokémon into a flaming meteor as it impacted the ground. Everyone waited with baited breath to see the outcome of the battle. Charizard landed with a thud as he panted and waited for the dust to clear while he recharged.

As the dust cleared, a figure could be seen, it was Raikou and it was still standing albeit barely. It was covered in various burns ranging from 2nd to 3rd degree, its right front leg was held off the ground revealing that it was badly injured, and its left was close. Raikou struggled to stay on its feet, but it collapsed on the ground unmoving with swirls for eyes.

"Raikou is unable to battle. The round goes to Ash and Charizard. Since Salon Maiden Anabel has lost all six of her pokémon, the match goes to goes to challenger Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!" Anabel has been defeated and Ash was one step closer to defeating the Battle Frontier. Anabel recalled her fallen Raikou before walking over to Ash who patted his Charizard on the head.

"Well Ash you should be proud. You are the first to make it this far in the Battle Frontier." Anabel said as she presented the Ability symbol to her crush.

"Alright! We got the Ability Symbol!" Ash cheered as Pikachu pumped his fists and Charizard released a torrent of flame. Ash's friends raced up to him to congratulate him on his impressive victory and being able to defeat three Legendaries. "Just one more victory and I'll become the Battle Frontier Champion."

"Well congratulations Ash making this far Ash." Scott said as he walked up to Ash. "As such I'll tell you the location of the final Frontier Brain. He's located near Pewter City studying some ruins he discovered. As the final Frontier Brain, he is the strongest of them all and you will be challenged like never before." Scott said before leaving Ash and the gang alone.

"Don't worry about Scott and his little mind games. He's trying to psyche you up to do even better against Brandon than you did against me." Anabel said to the group.

"The final Frontier Brain's name is Brandon?" Max asked curiously to the lilac beauty.

"Yeah, his Trainer Class is Pyramid King, thus he's Pyramid King Brandon. But enough about Brandon, you guys can still bunk with me until Ash beats the Battle Frontier." Anabel said as she and Ash left to heal their pokémon. Then Anabel had her Alakazam Teleport them to her cabin-mansion at Tohjo Falls.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Tohjo Falls: Anabel's Log Cabin Mansion

After a hearty dinner made by Brock, the gang turned in for the night, but two were unable to find sleep. Ash was restless so he got dressed in his t-shirt, jeans and sneakers, and left the mansion for a stroll. Along the way, he noticed some of the nocturnal pokémon scampering about in the moon-lit night. He came upon the lake near Anabel's place where they first met Anabel and where she also saved him. With a chuckle, he remembered how she had to tell them her gender and the shock that they went through at realization of that fact.

"Well it's not like we could tell at first. I mean she doesn't really have the figure of a real girl and her hairstyle doesn't really help either. But she is really nice and she is kind of cute in that tomboyish kind of way." Ash chuckled to himself. He spent so much time trying to be indifferent to love, yet he was thinking about Anabel in a romantic kind of way. "My travels thus far have shown me so such, including romance. I've been indifferent to it but maybe it's time to give it a try?" Ash mused to himself.

While looking at the moon he heard a splash, he looked over to see a pile of clothes and saw that the calmness of the water had been disturbed. Soon a figure rose up out of the water and started swimming around. A closer inspection allowed Ash to see that it was Anabel who was swimming, but she looked different than how she normally looked.

She wore a sexy two-piece lavender colored bikini with dark purple trim, and Ash could definitely see that Anabel is a girl; she has breasts and her figure was nice as well. He stood, stripped until he was in boxers, jumped in and silently swam towards the lilac beauty. When he reached her, he tapped on her shoulder causing her to jump out of the water.

"Ash! What are you doing here?" She asked as she recovered from the scare of him sneaking up on her. She was surprised to see anyone out here, especially him, and with her wearing an exposing two piece. She was hoping that he would see her like this but this was a little too soon in her mind.

"I couldn't sleep, with being so close to defeating the Battle Frontier and all, so I decided to take a midnight stroll or maybe a swim." he explained. Now that he was up close to her he found that she actually had very nice sized breasts and the two-piece showed her figure quite nicely. He then started getting a feeling of embarrassment coming from her. "Hey, it's okay; there is nothing to be embarrassed about let's go for a swim." he said grabbing her hand as he gently pulled her along. Anabel blushed as her crush guided her along the water.

'He could feel my embarrassment? Does that mean he has the same power as me? That he can read my heart?' Anabel's thoughts swirled around her head. She gasped when Ash splashed her with a playful smile on his face. Anabel mocked glared at him before splashing him back, the two of them having a water fight. The fight continued for half an hour, the laughter of the two resounding throughout the forest surrounding them.

Even when the fight was over, the two still laughed as they made their way back to the cabin-mansion. They made it back at fifteen minutes to one. Getting settled in front of a fire that Anabel made with her automatic fireplace, the two relaxed warming up, wrapped in blankets and sipping hot chocolate. As they warmed up, Anabel discreetly moved closer to Ash until she laid her head on his shoulder. Ash blushed remembering how beautiful Anabel looked with water cascading on her body, the silvery moonlight making her sparkle and take his breath away.

"What will you do after you win the Battle Frontier?" Anabel asked piercing his thoughts. She blushed faintly at his thoughts of how breath taking she was when they were playing in the lake. Ash frowned, the question was easy to answer yet for some reason his heart just wasn't into like it normally would.

"What I always do," He began. "Head on to the next challenge; whether it's league tournament or another Battle Frontier that remains to be seen." He answered.

"I see." Anabel said sadly as she just cuddled up to him for added warmth. Ash allowed her to do so, which only made to confuse him more. Did he like Anabel as friend or did he like her more than that? Ash didn't know but hopefully he'll answer be the time the Battle Frontier was done.

And cut! Finally Ultimate Frontier Brain is ready! As I said earlier, Ultimate Frontier Brain is a response to several stories where Ash decides to become a frontier brain after the Sinnoh league. Well this one is different, instead of becoming a frontier brain after Sinnoh; he becomes one after beating the Kanto Battle Frontier. It answers the question; "How would pokemon be if Ash DID accept Scott's offer?" This story is the answer to that question. Now since this is an Ashxharem story, here are the lucky girls that will be with Ash:

1) Salon Maiden Anabel (Abilityshipping)

2) Sabrina Natsume (Deathshipping)

3) Giselle (Googleshipping)

4) Clair Ibuki (Dragonfangshipping)

5) Princess Salvia (Salvationshipping)

6) Kaihime (Conquestshipping; she's from Pokemon Conquest hence the shipping name)

7) Cynthia (Rayshipping)

8) Serena (Amourshipping)

The reason for these girls is to use the various women in the Pokeverse in ships with Ash. There is limitless potential with these ships, thus it is my hope that I at least inspire some writer out there on Fanfiction to try to write a story for one of this ships. And don't worry, I already have it set up on how Ash gets involved with these eight women. The reason for ten is that I like even numbers and that makes things easier on me for the long run.

Now there will be other shippings seen and mentioned in this story also: Rocket, Luck, Ignition, Ego, Fortune, Handyman, Contestshipping, Burningleaf, Colleseumshipping, Wishfulshipping, and some others. As always, read and review no flames as they will be ignored.

I'm out this mutha!
