It has been about eight months since I finished Infinite Battles and I can finally get on with this sequel! I finished the first 7 chapters around the time I finished Infinite Battles so that is why my writing seems the same as it was back then but I will (hopefully) have more frequent updates, especially after exams are done. The reason I didn't upload the first seven chapters back then was because I didn't want to start a story and then have a hiatus. I will get back to Christmas Risks at some point. I will also alternate between this story and Deadly Pranks. I thank everyone who reviewed, favourited, and followed me and my stories and those who have been patient with me. But as I said before, this was written all the way back in October to please forgive the poor quality and enjoy, the sequel to Infinite Battles, Obliva Battles!
A group of adults that had spirits of teenagers were on a ship heading to a hidden region. When they all got near Renbow Island, they all saw six people. A man and who presumed to be his wife and daughter, an old man, a kid with dark green hair and a girl next to the old man. They were all waving and the man with a Pikachu and a talking Meowth on his shoulder with a Lucario next to him, for the first time for a while, the man smiled a heartwarming smile thinking one thing.
'I'm home.'
When the ship docked, the man, Ash Ketchum was greeted by the six people, whose attention then turned on the other adults that were with him.
"Ash, who are they?" Asked the man with his wife, Rand the Pokemon Ranger.
"These are Brock, Misty, May, Max, Tracey, Gary, Cilan, Iris and Drew. I'll tell you the details later. Now then…" Ash turned to his 'friends.' "If any of you bother the Pokemon, harm the region, or even attempt to capture a Pokemon, you will be dead within seconds. Understand?"
The group nodded, terrified at the coldness within the man's voice.
"Daddy!" A little 9 year old girl ran up to Ash and hugged his legs.
"Hey Hana, hope you've been good with Booker."
"Don't worry Ash, she's been as good as usual. Wish Ralph would learn something from her." Said Booker.
Ash smiled as Hana went to play with Pikachu and Meowth as Lucario stayed by his trainer's side.
"Well Booker, I think my Pokemon are tired of staying in their Pokeballs. So I'll head on to the woods. Rand, make sure these people don't cause trouble." Ash said, gesturing to his 'friends' before running off with Lucario, Pikachu and Meowth.
There was then an awkward silence.
"Umm, hi. I'm May," introduced May.
"Oh we know about you alright. All of you," said Nema with disgust.
"Nema! I am so sorry. I'm Leanne, this is my husband Rand, my daughter Nema, this kind old man is Booker. He's a carpenter. This young boy his Ralph and this is Hana, Ash's daughter."
"Umm, daughter?" Asked Dawn, who had her eyes widened.
"Yes. Ash took Hana in when her parents died but there as close as a real dad and her daughter," explained Booker.
"So is there any hotels in this region?" Everyone turned to look at the green haired coordinator.
"Sorry, this is my boyfriend-"
"Drew." Finished Nema.
"Yes, how'd you-"
"Ash told us."
"Oh…" May said, her eyes fixed on the ground.
"Nema, why don't you, Hana, and Ralph go find Ash?" Said Leanne.
"Okay! I want to go examine Lucario!"
The kids ran off.
"So you're Rand?" Asked the spiky haired professor.
"Yes?"
"Pleasure to meet you. I'm Professor Gary Oak." Gary said extending his arm.
"Professor? It's a pleasure to meet you." Rand said, shaking Gary's hand.
"And you must be archaeologist Professor Leanne."
"I'm surprised you've heard of me."
"You're quite famous in the PLA for the discovery of the Griseous Orb and being able to decipher any ruins."
"I didn't know I was quite famous."
"Oh you are."
"And you must be Ash's…friends."
"Yes. I'm Doctor Brock Stone. Pleasure to meet you."
"I'm Gym Leader Misty Waterflower."
"I am Hoenn Champion Max Maple."
"I'm Pokemon Watcher and Sketcher Tracey."
"I'm a Pokemon Connoisseur, Cilan."
"I'm Dragon Master Iris."
"I'm Dawn, Top Coordinator."
"As you know, I'm May Maple, Top Coordinator."
"The fantastic Top Coordinator Drew is my name."
"Nice to meet you all. Why don't we show you around Cocona Village?" Said Rand.
After Rand showed them the village…
"This is Ash's house. He and Booker made it. Let's go inside."
When they entered the house they saw it was a nice house. When they went upstairs there were two beds. On the shelf were plushies and on another shelf there were various awards.
The 8 Badges of Kanto.
Orange League Trophy.
Orange League Hall of Fame.
The 8 Badges of Johto.
The 8 Badges of Hoenn.
The 7 Symbols of the Battle Frontier.
Battle Frontier Certificate.
The 8 Badges of Sinnoh.
The 8 Badges of Unova.
The 8 Badges of Kalos.
Kalos League Trophy.
Kalos League Hall of Fame
#1 Pokemon Master Trophy.
These were all awards they were familiar with. But the others they weren't.

Savior of Sophian Island Certificate.

#1 Swimmer Trophy.
#1 Runner Trophy.
#1 Pokeathlon Contestant.
Summer's #1 Lapras Racer Trophy.
Extra Member of the Go Rock Squad Membership.
"Wow, Ash sure won a lot of stuff." Said Dawn.
"That's nothing compared to my awards." Said Drew.
"Face it Drew, compared to Ash, you're nothing…" Said Max.
"What was that!?"
"Drew! We're not here to fight! Especially in Ash's room!" Said May.
"Hey there's one more! On that shelf up there!" Said Iris.
"I'll go check it out." Said Cilan. But as soon as he got near, he was stopped by a Psychic attack. Everyone turned around and saw an Espeon.
"ES!"
"An Espeon!" Shouted Max.
"We see that Max! Is it a wild one?" Said May.
"No it isn't. Espeon, don't worry. I'll make sure nothing happens to his room." Said Rand. Espeon took a good look at the Pokemon Ranger and then dropped Cilan. "That is one of Ash's most faithful Pokemon. Espeon is usually in his room to make sure no one breaks anything. You can go and see Ash, Espeon. I'll look after here, don't worry."
Espeon nodded and ran off.
"Alright, so you wanted to see this?" Rand went and got the picture on the shelf and showed it to everyone. "This isn't an award. This is just a picture we took a couple years after Ash came to Oblivia."
Everyone looked at the picture and there was Ash, sitting with Hana in his lap, Booker and Rand standing next to him with Leanne and Nema sitting in front of them. Ralph was sitting next to Ash and Haruba was standing next to Booker with Booker's apprentice Nick. And Ash's Pokemon were all behind him.
Rand then put the picture back.
"Ash looked like he was really happy here."
"Yes. He was away from so much stress. And let me tell you, me and Ash are practically brothers," laughed Rand. This surprised Gary and Brock.
"Now I guess we can go see Ash now."
They all went into the Teakwood forest. There was a clearing and then they saw all of Ash's Pokemon. The flying types flying, the ground Pokemon on the ground and the water Pokemon in the water. It looked like paradise. There was even somehow room for the Tauros to run wild. They then saw Ash giving Hana a piggyback ride while they go say hi to all the Pokemon. Espeon was on top of Ash's shoulder licking his face.
"This region is amazing…" Said Misty.
"Yes. It used to be easy to get to, but ever since an event that lead to Oblivia's destruction, the legendary Pokemon Lugia made a Tornado barrier to protect the region. Only Pokemon and one sailor can get through the barrier." Said Rand.
"Is that sailor Haruba?" Asked May.
"Yes. When Ash first entered the region, I was surprised at how a human got through the barrier without the assistance of Haruba but then I was told he had Lugia's permission."
"Lugia's permission?" Asked Iris.
"I don't know the details. And if I did, I doubt I would be allowed to tell you."
Later at night...
Everyone was sleeping in a tent. Well, except those who had a place to live.
Ash was staring at Dolce Island from the beach. Sleeping next to Hana was a sleeping Pikachu and Meowth. Sleeping on a blanket was Hana. On Ash's lap was a wide awake Espeon. Espeon then felt something and Ash noticed. Ash looked back to see May standing there.
"Oh, it's you."
"Hi…" May sat down next to Ash. "Amazing view."
"Yeah."
"So you're just going to stay here for the rest of your life?"
"You make it sound like a bad thing."
"We learned a lot from Rand today. And how there's no trainers so you and him would battle."
"Yeah. But, I'm happy and that's what matters." Espeon then cuddled against Ash, making him smile.
"All the people are great. It seems like there is nothing but peace in this region between Pokemon and human."
"That's because there is no conflict between them. This is a place I would call home. And my dream has been achieved and I have the best Pokemon, friends and daughter."
"You really consider her as a daughter?"
"Of course. When I first found Hana, I didn't think I was ready to be a dad but, things change. And I regret nothing of my past."
"Nothing?"
"Okay, maybe one thing."
"And that is?"
"Not going to the all-you-can-eat competition."
"…"
The next day…
Gary was talking with Nema and Leanne, Brock, Iris and Cilan were talking with Ash and his Espeon, Booker and Nick. Max was talking with Ralph and May, Misty, Dawn and Drew were with Hana, Pikachu and Meowth.
With May, Misty, Dawn, Drew, Hana, Pikachu and Meowth…
"It's nice to meet you Hana." Said Misty.
"Yep! Daddy told me about you! You are a gym leader who carries a mallet wherever you go!"
"He described me well," Misty said, smiling.
"What about us? Did he say anything about us?" Asked May.
"Nope! Although he said something about an amazing coordinator!" May's hopes went up. "She had blue hair so you are that amazing coordinator!" Said Hana, pointing to Dawn.
"So he didn't tell you about me and my boyfriend?"
"Nope!"
"Figures. He's jealous of my awesomeness," said Drew.
"Daddy is so much more awesome then you!"
"What!?"
"He is the Pokemon Master!"
"Why you little-"
"Watch it bush! Say one thing and your neck won't be the only thing ripped from your body!" Said a talking Meowth with his claws ready.
"You don't scare me. You're just a Meowth."
"Why you-!"
"Drew, that's enough!"
"May, no offense but your brother is weak to lose to a Meowth."
"That's it! Your throat and your eyes are going to be ripped off by me personally!"
"If you think you're so good, then battle me."
"A coordinator like you don't stand a chance against me!"
"Oh yeah? Scared you little scaredy cat?"
"That's it! 1 v 6 NOW!"
"Roserade will finish you in seconds."
Let's just say…Drew got destroyed.
"This isn't even humanely possible! He must've done experiments to his Meowth!"
"Are you questioning my skill?"
"Yes! It isn't possible for a Meowth to have this much power.
"Meowie, Pika, I'm hungry!"
Everyone looked at Hana whose stomach growled.
"Alright, we'll be back Hana!" Said Meowth. Pikachu and Meowth left to get some food.
"So what's it like living with your dad?" Asked Dawn.
"The best!"
"Really? He doesn't mess up or-"
"No! He never messes up! Well, he does but that doesn't change the fact that he's the best dad in the world!"
"Heh. Ketchum? A father? You're nine right?" Asked Drew.
"Yep!"
"Ketchum sure was desperate to get some. 1 year after he left and he-"
"Drew! She's 9! Her brain doesn't need to be corrupted! And if it is, imagine what Ash will do to you!" Said Misty.
"And besides remember what Leanne told us? Ash took her in when she her parents died!" Said Dawn.
"So is Ash…happy?" Asked May, which got everyone's attention.
"Of course daddy is happy! I've never seen him with a frownie face before! Except when he came back all burnt from Kanto or when he forgot to sign up for the all-you-can-eat competition!"
"…"
With Brock, Iris, etc.
"So what do you use to make the Pokemon here so healthy? There isn't any Pokemon Centers in this region right?" Asked Brock.
"No. Rand and Ash go around the region with various herbs for Pokemon. People contact either Ash or Rand when a Pokemon is hurt." Said Booker.
"But don't you need a doctor for people?"
"No. I and Ash are good with medical but when it comes to sickness, there are like Booker said, herbs that help people too. I usually capture a Venusaur or Ash uses his own Venusaur." Said Rand.
"You also have a lot of awards from places I haven't heard of!" Said Iris.
"If you're referring to the swimming award, I got that in the Fiorre Region in the town Summer," said Ash.
"Well Ash, I signed you up for the fishing competition." Said Booker.
"Alright, time for a new trophy! When is the competition?"
"In one week in Mitonga Island."
"Okay. Tomorrow all of you are leaving this island." Said Ash.
"WHAT!?" Shouted Iris.
"But Ash, can't we stay?" Asked Brock.
"No."
"We won't enter the competition, just let us stay!"
"No."
"Ash, why don't you want us to stay?"
"Don't you all have jobs to do or dreams to complete?"
"Ash, we took a vacation for the Championship Tournament." Said Cilan.
"And we would love to just stay here a bit longer. Don't you trust us?" Said Brock.
"I don't trust Drew and he won't leave as long as May's here who won't leave unless all of you leave."
"Ash, please. I swear on my life that we won't do anything!"
"Yeah Ash! What happened to the cheerful kid from Unova?" Asked Iris.
"I don't know," said Ash. "But I will allow you to stay as long as any of you don't do anything to this region or capture any Pokemon."
"We promise Ash!" Said Brock, Iris and Cilan.
"But will the others say the same?"
"We'll make them!" Said Cilan.
Later everyone promised not to do anything to the region. Except Drew who eventually agreed thanks to a Meowth and his claws. It was nighttime and everyone were sitting at a campfire. Hana and Ralph were sleeping in front of Ash, who was sitting on a log along with everyone else except Nema who was sleeping in front of Rand.
"So you're a doctor Brock?" Asked Leanne.
"Yes. I used to want to be a breeder but, I realized my heart was with helping injured Pokemon and people."
"And you two are coordinators?"
"That's right. But right now Dawn has me beat with 6 Grand Festival wins and I have 4 and our friend, Solidad has the most wins at 9." Said May.
"And Drew has 1 win." Said Dawn.
"But you said you were an amazing coordinator." Said Leanne confused.
"Of course I am. It's just that May is better. Thanks to me she is who she is." Said Drew. They all swore they heard Max, Dawn and Ash cough at the same time.
"And you're a gym leader Misty?"
"Yes. The best in the region!"
"Actually, if I recall, my brother Forrest won the Gym Leader tournament, beating you in the Semi Finals." Said Brock.
"Okay, second best."
"Wait, so who is the best Gym Leader?"
"In Kanto it's my brother Forrest. In Johto it's Clair. In Hoenn it's Juan. In Sinnoh it's Volkner. In Unova it's Drayden. In-"
"Okay, what about the world? Who's the best Gym Leader in the world?"
"Volkner. He has the power of an Elite 4. He matched Flint of the Sinnoh Elite 4 evenly." Said Brock.
"Wait, but isn't Flint the third member?"
"Exactly."
"Wow. He sounds impressive."
"He is. I remember when Ash faced him. It was thanks to Infernape and his Blaze you won."
"Yeah. Back then I would rely on abilities alone. That was my foolish self."
Ash's statement made everyone there frown. The Ash they now knew was not completely gone, but mostly.
"But one thing my foolish self, did right, was that I believed in my Pokemon."
"Why do you say that you were foolish?" Asked Max.
"Because, I would always rush into things without strategy. Sure it may have helped in many cases but it certainly didn't win me any leagues. Not until Kalos. And, well, I can say that I trusted people way too easily."
There was silence.
"So, when are you leaving for the Fishing Competition Ash?" asked Leanne.
"Tomorrow. So make sure that my 'friends' don't cause any trouble."
"Why don't they go with you? I'm sure Misty would like to enter as well." Said Leanne.
"And me!" Said Dawn.
"I of course would like to enter!" Said Cilan.
"I would love to beat Ashy-boy!" Said Gary.
"Why don't we all enter? How much spaces are left Booker?" Asked Brock.
"10."
"Sigh…Fine. We'll get you all signed up. Just be ready to leave tomorrow morning."
"Alright!" Shouted everyone.
"SHHHH!"
"Sorry…"
For those who didn't read the first part, here ya go!
It has been about eight months since I finished Infinite Battles and I can finally get on with this sequel! I finished the first 7 chapters around the time I finished Infinite Battles so that is why my writing seems the same as it was back then but I will (hopefully) have more frequent updates, especially after exams are done. The reason I didn't upload the first seven chapters back then was because I didn't want to start a story and then have a hiatus. I will get back to Christmas Risks at some point. I will also alternate between this story and Deadly Pranks. I thank everyone who reviewed, favourited, and followed me and my stories and those who have been patient with me. But as I said before, this was written all the way back in October to please forgive the poor quality.
I was originally going to name it Oblivion Battles but I had a hard time choosing between that and Oblivia Battles. I decided on Oblivia Battles because it made more sense. Anyways, I would like to say this RIGHT NOW. CHAPTER 7 IS THE END OF CONTESTSHIPPING. I swear that this will be the last story that I keep Contestshipping in for that long. I never meant for it to go on this long but I never found the right moment to end it. I always thought that it was better to end it right then to end it suddenly. Like, one moment they were kissing (BLEARGH) then the next; "Drew, I'm breaking up with you." But you all just have to bare 7 Chapters of Advanceshipping and don't worry, no intimate moments between the two at all, except for holding hands. At least, I think. It's been a while since I last revised the story. Anyways, glad I can have this uploaded at last! Thank you all and I decided that I will answer any questions that are asked. Unless you're asking me something that will spoil the story. Thank you and I hope you have a good morning/day/evening/night.
