Ok. I lied again. I am so raring to do this story so I had to. Ch. 2 of ADVS will be uploaded soon.

The battle scene later on was...meteocre at best. But honestly, it wasn't that bad. I wanted this chapter to be more of a recap chapter, showing where I saw Elesa liking Ash in their battle, so action was nowhere near my priority. This is going to be my worst chapter. Everything else is going to be AWESOME I promise!

Although the start here is very good in my opinion.

This is more a happy short story, with little conflict.

Oh, and one last note...

THIS IS THE FIRST RAIMEISHIPPING FANFIC EVER HERE! OH YEAHHH! So I'm going to make the first one one to remember. It won't be long like another RMS I plan on doing later on, but still.

"DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT!"

A character stirred in her bed with the covers pulled forcefully over her head.

"Nguhhhhhh…" She moaned, refusing to surrender her sleep to the hunk of nuts and bolts next to her.

Such a call and response was routine in Elesa's household in the morning.

"If you don't shuuuuuu…"

Yawnnnnn

"…uuuut up I'm gonna…oh forget it I'm too tired for this."

"DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT! DUCKLETT!"

A young lady in a yellow T-shirt and sky-blue shorts gracefully swept out of bed. She gingerly straightened her messy bed head. She gently picked up the annoying, pestering clock and proceeded to chuck it forcefully across the room against the wall. Don't worry. She had a lifetime supply of clocks, and she specifically had that wall built out of steel.

Besides, if she didn't wake up explosively, where would she get her enthusiasm?

Now that the Ducklett Alarm Clock had now successfully raised her out of bed, the girl with lemon hair stretched and yawned. She opened the window and stuck her head out the window to take in the fresh Nimbasa air. She closed her eyes and smiled, excited for the coming day.

Elesa is the Gym Leader for the infamous Nimbasa City, "The Entertainment Center of the World." She is a charismatic and optimistic type of person who is always upbeat and smiling and trying her best to show off her Pokemon with the upmost beauty and sparkle. She always thought of a battle as a magnificent show where she tries to make her Pokemon more sparkly and dazzling than her opponent's. She would try to dizzy them with her overwhelming power and appeal.

She is also a hot supermodel. And people say that to mean both ways. She has appeared on 300 different front covers of 50 different magazines and has been awarded over 100 trophies and medals commemorating outstanding model performance, including the Model of the Year Award for local, regional, national, and global. Oh, and she's only been a model for 2 years.

She is also extraordinarily attractive at that. Her skin is cream-colored and is as pure and glowing as fresh snow. She has matured quite early for her age. She is only 14 years old, but could easily pass off as 20. Her body is much curvier than the average 14 year old, and she has grown quite a bit to match that. She usually wore heels because it was the fad for all models these days. It made her look even taller and even more like an actual adult. Her hair is thin and cut short for a teenager and was a bright lemon yellow that matched her personality. The back of her hair has a very Kabuto shell-like shape to it with a hard, pointy end at the end of her neck. Her bangs end with another hard edge that was completely level across her forehead. It melds together except in two places. One place has a definite separation just above her left eye. Another was an obvious line that ran from where this separation started to the opposite side of the top of her head.

One of the biggest wonders about her is the lack of need for make-up. She won all her medals and trophies without one drop of eyeliner or one fragment of mascara. Her beauty is 100% natural. Her eyes are the color of the sky, yet are as bright as a flashlight. Her eyelashes are not only the perfect thickness to bat around attractively, but also the perfect length to appear mesmerizing yet not look awkward.

She didn't try to put on a show when she was out of a battle or off the catwalk, but she is just naturally so charismatic that simply walking to get groceries had the pedestrian zones cleared and the international cameras rolling live. She is also effortlessly dramatic while doing so, and made all her fangirls scream with a girlish delight every time she made some kind of action. Oddly, guys rarely ever, if at all, show up to her catwalks and battles. She attributes this to being 14 yet looking 18. Men who were 18 were attracted to her, but found out her real age and ditched any thought of relationship because of embarrassment. Boys who were 14 thought she was way out of their league and lived in fear of rejection from her.

She had risen her way up the ranks of immobile battling, soaring from a local Pokemon Battle Club attendee to official Gym Leader in 6 months.

She also was NOT a morning person.

But this morning was different. Instead of her usual routine of threatening her crippled and defeated alarm clock on the ground to rip it to shreds right down to the smallest gear, followed by lounging around in bed and not moving at all for an hour, she sprung right out of her room and practically skipped to her kitchen. She was greeted by a surprised Emolga that was busy flying about making its own breakfast. Most Emolga are too immature to do this. But this one was different—it wanted to fend for itself more than usual for its species. And it isn't that Elesa wasn't willing to care for her Pokemon. Quite the contrary actually. Elesa sought to each of her Pokemon's individual desires and needs, from the daily sprinting her Zebstrika loved to the late bedtime her Joltik demanded. She didn't have the job of Noland at the Kanto Battle Factory, but it's always difficult to care for each of your own Pokemon when you're a full time Gym Leader and full time Supermodel.

Elesa literally danced and twirled through the kitchen into her bathroom to change into her standard clothes for the day. She hummed a cheerful tone by her favorite band "Shaymin's Home". She loved the band because their lyrics have a lot of meaning. They sang happy tunes about how life is good and even though things are tough at times, at the end of the day everything is all good and there's no point in being down on yourself. Elesa's always been a very jocund person, but today she had reached the level of blissful ecstasy.

She waltzed out of the bathroom. Her humming had turned into full-blown singing, and her voice was so divine that people wondered why she never took a career in it. She twirled and spun and leaped around the kitchen, trying her best to act like a ballerina. And she was pretty darn good at that too.

In the midst of her dancing, she gracefully scooped up a bowl, poured some oats into it, and poured milk into it. All in what appeared to be one graceful step. She was grinning wide and long. No, she was laughing. Laughing and relishing the very exuberant moment.

Her hair glowed and her skin shined. She loved cutting her hair short, but she wore what appeared to be a headset with long, thin strands of black wire coming off of each headpiece. It was her favorite accessory. She wore it everywhere, everyday, in every costume on every catwalk for every fashion. It wasn't too intricate. It was just one of those simple accessories that made an already attractive person become a knockout on sight.

She had most of her Pokemon out in the open and out of their Pokeballs. She liked letting them fend for themselves and give them a sense of freedom. She recalled them into their Pokeballs when she left the house for efficiency purposes, but still. They were all well trained electric types who knew Elesa like a Stunfisk knew the bottom of a lake. They were used to Elesa breaking out into jubilant life on a daily basis, but in the morning? And at this much of an extreme? They looked at each other and made eye contact that was a lot like "Who is this alien, and what has she done with our Elesa?"

Elesa eventually looked at her Pokemon and noticed their faces. Blushing madly, she stopped her antics and tried to move around calm and collected. But she was too excited that she was fidgety and full of energy. When she tried to sit down her feet tapped at a fast beat and her eyes shifted from object to object while she tore through her breakfast. She smiled largely, trying to contain her happiness.

Why was she so happy?

She had a special challenger with a rare Pokemon she was raring to see again.

Ash was up before the Pidoves once again. The sun had barely even said hello to the sky, and the lack of blues and salmons of dawn showed it. Ash swept his legs out of bed and stretched his arms and legs while yawning his signature wake up yawn. He walked downstairs and out of the Pokemon Center. He stepped outside, and paused for a moment to soak in the warmth of Nimbasa City and smell the fresh air.

For a hustling and bustling city, the smog level was uncannily low, basically being about zero. All thanks to Elesa and her ideas of gas-free appliances and attractions. That was the case with every city with an Electric-Type Gym. The leaders always bestowed their incredible knowledge of electricity to upgrade the town to the max. Sunnyshore City was good with its completely solar powered city, but still. This was special in of itself. This was the case with all of these kinds of cities except Lt. Surge and Vermilion City. He was a jerk.

Elesa on the other hand, wasn't. Ash thought about her for a moment and found himself thinking about how tough she would be. Bianca may be a new trainer, but she definitely wasn't a bad one. Elesa made her look like a second-rate scrub. She may be a supermodel, but she obviously didn't fuss around with her job as a Gym Leader. It couldn't be clearer that she trained hard with her Pokemon, and yet still kept the town in shape. He made a mental note to not let her good looks get to him, because she obviously didn't battle like a prissy little celebrity.

Even though she looked better than one, what with her glowing cyan eyes, her electrifying, beautiful lemon hair, her joyful, smiling personality…

Ash started drooling and drifting off. He had to slap his cheeks to wake himself up.

Another mental note, don't make mental notes about an attractive girl.

Ash jogged around the Center a couple of times and then sat down under a shady tree the second the sun started coming up. He looked at the sky and studied its looks and the position of the sun. He estimated it to be around 6:00 in the morning. Possibly 5:49 if Nimbasa City was on a special axis of the Planet of Pokemon that had an odd time difference. He learned about this in Sinnoh. It occurred because because Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina's world entrances all existed on one constantly shifting, sporadic line that ended up distorting time among other odd things.

He thought back to the battle and wen t over every possible outcome and start of the battle. He smiled to himself thinking of awesome his strategy was. Confuse Elesa's Pokemon, and attack at his own pace with Palpitoad. Since Palpitoad was a Ground-Type, there was no way Elesa could beat him. His perfect victory was in the bag.

Ash was so excited for his fourth badge, that he couldn't contain his excitement anymore. He pointed his head to the sky and shouted to no one but clouds.

"mmmm…mmmmm…mmmm…mmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaAAAAWWWW RIIIIIGHHHHT! TODAY, IM GONNA WIN MY FOURTH UNOVA GYM BATTLE!"

He pumped his fist in front of him, grinning and brimming with confidence. He was going with a different approach to battle this time. He was using his head to think of a proper strategy as compared to his normal battle style of attacking the Bouffalant by its horns.

Elesa was doing final check ups in the mirror inside the changing room. Normally she couldn't care less how she looked since being a model rubbed off a sixth sense of style and fashion on a person. But today was different. She was gonna battle Ash and that Pikachu. She had to look jaw dropping for her first battle against a Pikachu, since it will definitely be recorded in a solid number of influential magazines. If she lost her luster, her salary as a model would drop.

And that boy Ash…wow was he something. He made such a great first impression, risking his journey to battle a champion like Bianca's father. He was unaware of Bianca's dad's history as a trainer, but he challenged him for a friend's sake. A friend he didn't even travel with!

He shined brighter than a star. He glowed brighter than a diamond. He sparkled brighter than gold.

I have to shine just as brightly as he did yesterday. Otherwise my radiance will completely vanish under his own!

Ash showed up acting like a total gentleman. He even went so far as to take off his hat and make a curtsy. It almost made Elesa blush.

Ash was so naïve at the beginning of the battle, trying to use a Palpitoad to sweep her 3-0. Elesa thought he was cute in his uncanny approach to the battle. She treated the battle like it was a catwalk contest and tried to show off better than Ash. Her fans loved it. She was being way more majestic and dramatic than usual. They couldn't fathom why, but they honestly couldn't care less.

"OH MY GOSH ELESA IS SOOO COOL!"

"MS. ELESA IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON EVER!"

"AHHHH!"

These reactions were typical everyday. But today the crowd was going nuts. Girls from as far as Nimbasa Town were rushing as fast as they can to the City of Entertainment to watch Elesa.

Little did they know they had the humble trainer standing opposite their favorite Electric user to thank for their live performance.

Meanwhile Elesa kept on trying to show off greater than Ash did yesterday. Even though it looked clear from the beginning of the battle she and her Zebstrika were all over Ash and Palpitoad like a Sawk all over a fighting dojo, she didn't feel like she was anywhere near as sparkly as Ash was yesterday.

Though, at some point, Ash's spirit came through. After a nailed Double Kick, Palpitoad should have been knocked out. But that fighting spirit she saw in Ash earlier came through to his Vibration Toad.

His fighting aura made her head spin.

She tried to steady her Lapis-colored eyes and balance her lemon-haired head. She felt like the room was spinning. She had to hold her head in place.

Before she knew it Zebstrika was soaked in mud and water in the wall behind her. She felt a whole beat behind everyone else.

While her head was dropped in humility and her hand was held at her heart, she recalled her speedy Electric-Type.

"You are beautiful, even when covered in mud."

She meant that. Although, it looked like Ash was a bit confused by this.

Something came over her. She was going to use Joltik next, but something coaxed her to use a more challenging opponent for Ash. She felt like she was falling quickly behind and needed to turn this around ASAP. She decided to call out her second most trusted partner, Emolga to counter Palpitoad's Ground-Type advantage. She could play this strategy game too.

Her first move was Attract. She didn't want to give Palpitoad any wiggle room, or have the question of its gender hanging around her head for the duration of the battle.

When she used Attract the first time, she made her signature move and blew a kiss to symbolize its use. This got the crowd roaring.

With Emolga, she made quick work of Ash's Palpitoad. He had forgotten Emolga was part Flying-Type. Considering he looked and passed off as a very experienced trainer, this surprised the Sky-Eyed model. He looked so disappointed recalling his Palpitoad, it made Elesa giggle. Ash then looked like he was pondering what his next Pokemon would be. For a long time.

For a LONGGGGG time.

The referee kept poking at him to speed up, and this annoyed Elesa. She wanted to push her assistant off her stand and tell Ash he could take as long as he wants for her display of rudeness.

Wait a minute, Elesa had to mentally snap herself awake. That's what a referee is supposed to do. Why am I so annoyed?...

She didn't know.

He suddenly seemed enlightened and ran off. As he was rushing out the door, he asked her to stay put, and that he would be right back. She sweatdropped at the fact that he called out to her specifically.

Her Emolga perched on her arm the way it always did back at home when they were lounging around. She subconsciously held her limb out like she was posing a forearm accessory for a magazine cover. When Ash finally returned her heart skipped a beat.

Why?

He ran in apologizing.

"Umm…did you only have that Palpitoad ready Ash?"

All she got was a laugh.

This distracted Elesa for a split second. Wow that laugh sounds like a fresh Neon light being turned on at an island resort. Cheerful and lighthearted.

"My…so you did..." Elesa gave Ash a look of mock flattery.

After Ash called out a Snivy, she called for her Emolga to use Attract again.

But this time when she blew her kiss she had an urge to spice things up and do something different with it. She didn't know why, she just did it compulsively.

She was blowing her kiss at Ash.

The fact she always blows a kiss when she uses Attract was meant to cover the hidden truth. And the cover worked splendidly, much to Elesa's relief.

The battle raged on and she knocked out Ash's Snivy with more difficulty. She had to remind him that Emolga was also a Flying-Type when he was starting to act overconfident that Snivy was a perfect counter for her Emolga. She basically had to bring him down from the clouds and gave away her not-so-secret secret battle strategy.

Again, Why?

The attractive girl started to shine more than Ash.

Ash was struggling to think of his next Pokemon. Elesa was half-tempted to just give him one of her Pokemon that could easily counter her Emolga. It took so much willpower to resist this urge.

WHY?

But here came Ash's Pikachu, seeing red from the sideline. That cute yellow rodent that could pack a punch. It seemed agitated at Ash's battling style. At least that's what she heard from his friends on the challenger sideline area. Elesa was relieved that this apparently wasn't how he normally battled, because she wanted to face the true, vigorous, spirited Ash she saw yesterday.

Pikachu shocked Ash with a powerful Thunderbolt and then shouted in his face at the volume of an Exploud's Hyper Voice. The stadium felt like it was rocked to its knees at the volume and power of this little yellow mouse. Everyone went quiet for the first time of the day.

Ash snapped out of his funk and seemed raring to go this time.

Elesa, as ecstatic as ever, called her Emolga, "Go! Paralyze them!"

This was her quote when she needed to make a comeback on an opponent that was light years ahead of her.

After tied Electro Balls, the overpowered mouse rammed into her Emolga with a Quick Attack so fast that Elesa was stuck frozen, staring at the spot where the attack landed when Emolga had already fainted behind her.

Elesa eventually turned and smiled, recalling her Emolga, complimenting its beauty. She flashed a look to the ground, and then to Ash. It was a look of overwhelming jubilancy and admiration. She knew it was time to use her special Pokemon.

She only used it when she faced someone who was way ahead of her in the gym battle, or if she was facing an Elite Four Member. Basically, only in Do or Die situations.

"Ash, you are shining very brilliantly." She giggled and held her head, "It's making me dizzy!"

But then she cut into the ensuing cheers from her fans around her, "HOWEVER! I must shine more brilliantly than you!" She strutted forward like she was on a catwalk and then posed her favorite and most jaw-dropping pose right then and there for Ash. She flashed him a look that had two different characteristic sides. One she figured Ash would get, the other she hoped he wouldn't. Her slightly open mouth smiled at Ash with a fiery look in her eyes. Her two fingers making deuces in front of her distracted the user to her fiery eyes. Her pose was simplistic yet powerful. It made a statement of beauty and elegance.

One take on her look was that she meant business.

The other take was that it was flirtatious.

Ash really had made the supermodel serious.

So her most she sent out her most powerful, Tynamo.

Her Tynamo did fabulously well. When she thought she'd won, she smiled and closed her eyes, assuming his defeated Pikachu had lost all radiance.

But, for the first time in her life, she had misjudged a Pokemon's shininess.

Ash got through to Pikachu, and she was thoroughly impressed with its determination. But she needed this battle to end.

"One last tackle Tynamo!"

The biggest mistake she had made in the battle.

Pikachu made her Pokemon attack her from one direction and before Elesa could get it to stop, it fell into Ash's trap. One well placed Iron Tail later, she was defeated.

But she couldn't care less she shined less than Ash. His presence was with her in her defeat. And that made her happy for some reason.

Why?

Mehh. OK at best.

But still I was extremely impressed with my intro. Please bear with me and know this will be my worst chapter for a while, but it sets the stage for later on really well.

R&R and etc.
