Tags : M/F, No-Yiff, Ninetales, Zoroar, zoroark, Eevee, houndoom, Fight

The festival was officially over and the Aftershow party began.

At the rest of the evening, nothing special happened. They ate, drank and had some fun till it was midnight. On the next morning, each one had some rings under his Eyes, even Zoran and Rosy. They came together in the dining room of the pokemoncenter and slowly ate their breakfast. Once they had finished, they all went back to their rooms to take a wake-up shower and once they were finished they all met in the main hall.

" Seems like all are here, so let's get moving." Ash said and began to move.

" Hold on, Ash. Did you know where to go?" Lucia said.

" Sure.... AHH..... UPS." Was Ash's answer.

Zoran and Rosy began to laugh lowly behind their Paws.

" OHHH.... You will never change, Ash Ketchum. Broke, where are we going?" Lucia asks.

" To a plateau not far from here. It's only a three Days walk and on the way we could do some training. Besides, we don't need to hurry because we still have a week before the tournament starts." Broke answered.

" Well then. Lead the way, and we will follow, Broke."

And so they did, and as always they got lost in the woods. Normally they had needed only three Days, but they had now needed 6 to reach their destiny.

" I told you not to go the right way, but you only said trust me, I know the way. Now I have only one Day left to train. Thanks Broke." Ash said once they had reached the Arena.

" I don't know what you want. We are here now. That's the only thing that counts, right? Besides. You could have used our stops to train, but you didn't do anything." Broke answered.

" Stop it. Both of you. I'm getting sick of this demanding." Lucia threw in. " Can we just go to the Center and wrote Ash in? My Feet are burning like hell."

" My Paws too." Rosy added.

" Do you want me to carry you, my dear?" Zoran asks.

" Next time, maybe, but now I can see that your legs are burning too."

" HEHE.... You are right. I could really use a hot bath or only a soft place to recover."

" And what about training? I'm not so exhausted. Come on."

" NO." Came back in Union, and Ash had no other chance than to give in.

They all then went to the Center and for their luck they became two rooms. One for the Boys and one for Lucia. Zoran and Rosy also got lucky because they were allowed to stay in Lucia's room and there they could sleep in a bed, what they immediately did after they got into the room just like the others, including Ash.

The next morning

Ash had woken up late as always, and now he ran into the main hall where the rest were already waiting for him.

" You are late again. Will you ever get up in time?" Lucia asks.

" Ask Broke. He wanted to wake me." Ash answered.

" I tried to wake you, but you slept like a rock even when I screamed into your Ear." Broke said loudly.

" Really? So that's why my Ear is hurting me. No matter. Let's go. I want to grill a few opponents to dust."

And so he did. Over the hole Day, he defeated one Opponent after another without losing a single fight, plus he didn't need the help of Rosy and Zoran. They both only sat on the sideline and watched him do his best. Then the preliminaries ended and Ash was the best of his Block. Afterwards, the tournament ended for the Day and our friends went back to the Center to make themselves fresh. Once finished, they all met in the dining room and talked about the next rounds that were coming.

" Ash. I hope you are prepared for the next rounds." Broke said.

" I am. Thanks. By the way. I think that I will need your help in the next rounds." Ash said to Rosy and Zoran.

" You can count on us, but please don't use a Pokeball on us. We both don't like them." Zoran answered.

" No problem. I will call you just like Pikachu, but in return you will listen to my command. OK?"

Zoran looked at Rosy and she nodded. Then he looked onto Ash and said.

" OK."

Then they ate for the rest of the evening and had some fun. On the next morning, they were all up in time. Even Ash was, but only because he had not slept much the night. Now Ash, Rosy, and Zoran were standing with the other trainers, that had survived the first rounds, in the main Arena and waited for the runner to activate the holy flame, but the runner didn't show up. They all started to wonder about what had happened to him, but then all got clear because Ash saw Team Rocket's Balloon.

" OH NO. Not again them. They surely have stolen it. Come, let us get them." Ash said to Zoran and Rosy while he began to run.

" We are right behind you." Rosy answered.

A few minutes later they had managed to get close to the balloon, and they could clearly see that Ash was right with the fire because James was holding it in his Hand.

" TEAM ROCKET! STOP!! GIVE THE FLAME BACK!!!" Ash shouted.

" These tiddlers again. Go home and leave us in peace. It was a hard work to steal the flame, and we will get some good money for it." Jessy yelled back.

" Alright, you ask for it. Staraptor! Bring them down. Close Combat attack on the balloon." Ash shouted and throw the Ball.

Immediately, Staraptor came out and unleashed the attack, which hit the Balloon perfectly.

Just a second later, the Basket hit the Ground and it landed so hard that James lost the torch, which then flew straight towards Ash, who caught it before it hit the ground. Meanwhile, Team Rocket came back to sin.

" OOHHH.... Did someone see the Number of the truck?" Jessie asks.

" Which Truck? I could swear that it was an airplane." James answered.

" Hey People. Get clear in your Head. We've lost the torch." Meowth said in panic.

" WHAT? I thought James had it?" Jessie said, confused.

" I have lost it. Sorry Jess." James answered while he made a helpless face.

" OHHH YOU!!! Where is it? We have to..... OH, OH!!!"

She had found Ash with the torch standing in front of them, but what had caught her attention more was what was standing in front of him. She could see Pikachu, Zoran, and Rosy readying their attacks and then Ash said with a big smile.

" OK, my Friends. Let them fly."

Then they let their Attacks go. Zoran and Rosy fired a flamethrower and Pikachu fired a Thunder shock. All three attacks combined and hit Team Rocket with perfect aim. A big explosion came next and Team Rocket began to fly away like every time. Once they had gone, Ash and his Pokémon friends began to run back to the Stadium.

Meanwhile, in the Stadium

" Mr Goodshow, we have to tell them of what had happened!" Rocky said.

" Yeah. Seems so." The little man said.

Mr. Goodshow then walked to a microphone and began to speak.

" ÄHM.... Hi there trainers. I'm afraid to tell you that the torch has...." He was cut by a scream.

" IS RIGHT HERE!!!"

Everyone now looked over to where the Voice had come from, and they saw Ash, standing there with the torch in his hand and his Pokémon around him. Next he ran with the torch and under some applause to Mr. Goodshow. Once he had reached him, Ash said.

" Sorry I'm a bit late Sir."

" Ha-ha. Yep, you are, and you are also again the Savior of a tournament. This is getting a bit traditional, I think." Mr. Goodshow answered.

" Seems so. Here. The Fire is yours."

"No Ash. You will light it like always."

" Well.... Thanks sir. Hey friends where are..... OHHHH."

Zoran and Rosy had already walked up the stairs and had sat themselves down on each side of the bowl where the fire was to be lit. Once ready, Ash took Pikachu on his shoulder and walked slowly up the stairs until he was standing next to it. There he turned around, raised the torch, only to drop it a second later to turn on the flame inside the Bowl. While he did it, Zoran and Rosy fired a flamethrower into the Air and everyone inside the Stadium began to Cheer, Applaud or even both.

Once the Celebration had ended, the fights began, and now it was Ash's time to fight against a good trainer.

It was already standing 3 to 3 and Ash had called out Pikachu to fight. His enemy had chosen a Houndoom and the fight was a close call.

" Houndoom. Flamethrower." The trainer called.

" Pikachu. Quick attack." Ash Countered.

Pikachu then easily got out of the way of the Flamethrower and hit the Houndoom hard.

" Wow. That was fast. But I'm not that slow also." Said the Trainer. "Houndoom, smoke attack. Fill the battlefield with it."

The field became pitch black with the smoke unleashed, and in the middle of it was Pikachu standing, breathing hard and coughing.

" Now Houndoom. Iron tail. And the match is over."

Next was a scream heard from Pikachu followed by a flying Body out of the Smoke and straight into a wall. It was Pikachu. Once it landed, it tried to stand up, but then it sank down to the Earth and was knocked out. Ash quickly ran over to him and took him from the Ground, only to move it over to his Team Bench. There he said.

" You fought well, Buddy. Now take your time and watch me win."

Pikachu then smiled and nodded. Next Ash walked back to his trainer place while he thought "I'm only having two Pokémon left but.... Can I still win this?"

"Yes, you can." A voice said in his Head.

"Just say it and we 2 will do all we can, to make it happen." Another Voice said.

" OK. I will say it. Rosy, go out and show me what you can."

Rosy then nodded and jumped into the middle. Ash then whispered into Zoran's ear.

" Can you tell me what attacks, she can perform."

Just listen to my Voice in your Head and you will win.

Next, the referee said.

" GO."

" Alright Houndoom. Smoke attack." The enemy trainer commanded, and Ash said.

" Rosy. Confuse Ray!!"

The Houndoom was immediately caught and couldn't start the attack. Next Ash said.

" Rosy. Iron tail. With all nine." While he thought. "Why with all nine?"

"Just look." Was the answer.

Then Ash saw why. All nine of Rosy's tails began to glow white, and then she rushed forward, only to stop right in front of the Houndomm and let all of her Nine Tails go straight into his face. With the last one, she let him go into the wall behind him and once he landed, the Houndoom was knocked out.

" Good fight, Hunny." Zoran said in Pokémon to her.

" Good leads, my dear. " She answered while she walked back to her side.

Once she was on her side, the enemy trainer called his next Pokémon. A Feraligatr. Both Ash and Rosy let out a gulp as it was called out.

This is going to be a very hard fight. Zoran thought to himself, and normally he had helped Rosy, but now he had no other chance than to watch the fight.

From the beginning of this fight, all went wrong. Nearly all of Rosy's attacks hit, but hadn't had an effect. The Feraligatr was far too strong, and so Zoran had to watch Rosy lose. With every hit she became, Zoran felt something rise up inside his Body. The feeling was even increased by the fact that every time Ash tried to call Rosy back, the Felarigatr blocked her by using an attack or simply going into the way of the Pokeball Beam.

" STOP THIS!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Ash shouted.

" NO. First she will get her finish and when she survives it, you can bring her back into her Ball. Felarigatr Hydro Pump!" Came back from the enemy trainer.

Hearing the enemy trainer saying this was nearly too much for Zoran. The feeling inside his Body began to take control of him. His Body heat began to rise and in his head, he began to think of only one thing. "Knock them out." Then came the moment as the Felarigatr unleashed the Hydro Pump. Deep inside his Head, Zoran prayed that it would not hit Rosy, but she was too weak to move aside, and so she was fully hit by the attack. Her Body flew over the hole Arena, straight to the wall. Yet before her Body hit it, Zoran stopped her with his own Body. Once she lay on the ground, she managed to say some words before she was knocked out.

" Win this..... Battle..... For....... m...... Me."

At that moment, Zoran couldn't hold it back any longer. He turned around, threw a killing look over at Ash and said to him in his mind.

" This one is mine, and I will kill any other Pokémon that tries to stop me. GOT THAT!!! "

Ash only nodded. He never had in mind to use another Pokémon. Besides, right at this moment he didn't had another one than Zoran.

With every step Zoran did inside the ring, his heat level got higher, and everyone inside the Arena noticed that by only looking at him. All around his Body was an Air flicker to be seen and when the referee called, go, the hole Air around him was set on fire by him. He had lost his complete control over himself and was now only swimming in hate and rage.

" Well, well.... I have to cool him down when I wanted to win this. Felarigatr Hydro Pump." The enemy trainer said, and his Pokémon did it.

It fired a really strong Hydro Pump, but for the surprise of all, it didn't reach Zoran. Before the water came in his nearness, it had evaporated away only by the immense heat around Zoran.

" This cannot be. Felarigatr again Hydro Pump with all power you have."

Again the Pokémon did it, but the result was the same. Then Zoran smiled and began to walk first. Then from one moment to another he disappeared.

" What? Where is he? He cannot use teleport or something like it, for sure. But still he has....." The trainer stopped because right at that moment Zoran reappeared in front of the Felarigatr.

Still smiling, Zoran jumped and hammered his Head under the chin of the Felarigatr. The hit was so Hard that the Felarigatr began to struggle, and it made one step backwards. This was what Zoran had planned. He smiled more until he opened his mouth and let some flames gather there. Next, he breathed in hard and then waited a few seconds to let the breath heat up inside of him. Then breathed out and began to send a Fire Blast. Thanks to the near, he hit the Felarigatr fully and really hard. Even as a water Pokémon, the Felarigatr was helpless against such a hard attack. Once the attack ended, the Felarigatr dropped to the Earth and was knocked out. The enemy trainer was speechless. He had already thought that he had won this Game. Then he called the Felarigatr back, and then he threw his last Ball, but said nothing. The Ball open and released the Pokémon. Next, everyone in the Arena got shocked. The Pokémon he had chosen was an Eevee, but that was not a problem. The issue was that it was bearly 2 Years old.

" Are you really sure that you wanted to let this young Pokémon fight?" The referee asks.

" I don't have another one. So..... Y...... Yes, I am....."

" GIVE UP!!!!" A Voice shouted from somewhere.

".... I CANNOT." The trainer answered and got a very loud BU UUU.

Then the referee said.

" Very well. Just do it quick, then."

Once the match had started, Nothing happened. The Eevee did nothing because it was only fearing the big mass of people and Zoran, who was standing right in front of him. Then it made a step forward, only to make two backwards because Zoran had made a move himself. He was now standing over the little Eevee, which had rolled himself into a heavy, shaking ball. He lowered his head and said to the little Ball.

" Hey, come out. I will not hurt you. Do you want to play tag with me?"

Slowly it came out saying under some heavy sniffs.

" I.... I.... Cannot move..... I'm making an idiot out of me, just like me..... My Trainer."

" That's nonsense. Here look."

Zoran took a little stone on his nose, and then he got up with his front legs again. Eevee saw this and began slowly to smile. Zoran was so helplessly looking as he tried to stand on two legs while he tried to balance the stone on his Nose that nearly everyone in the Arena began to laugh. After a minute or two, he stopped and got back on all fourths. Then he said into a happy Eevee face.

" See... Did you think that I'm an idiot now?"

" N... No. You are very funny. Let us then play tag or maybe hide and seek?"

" Tag would do fine for now, so you better run before I come and get you."

That he didn't need to be told twice. Once Zoran had said it, the Eevee began to run and Zoran followed. His plan was to lure the Eevee over the sideline to end this match, or better said the joke. A minute later it happened. The Eevee ran over the line and stopped behind it because the referee said.

" Eevee has left the ring. So the winner is Ninetails and Ash."

" Did I do something wrong?" The Eevee asks Zoran.

" No. All is fine. Oh, besides.... TAG.... Now you are." Zoran answered and walked away.

" WHAT? HEY UNFAIR!!! HAHAHA....."

The Match was over and so was the second Day.

For around 10 minutes they both played until the trainer of the Eevee said.

"Come Eevee. It's time to go home. Your mother is waiting with the food."

" I will.... Father."

" Father?" Ash and his friends asking at the same time, letting Zoran, Rosy, and the trainer laugh loud.

" Human's can be so easily manipulated. Right my friend?" The trainer said to Zoran.

" You better stop hiding yourself, Drake, or at least no one will believe you." Zoran answered.

The trainer and the Eevee began to glow and a second later, Drake was standing in the trainer's place with his Son on his Head. Ash and his friends were only standing there, saying nothing. Next Zoran said.

" Nice fight back then, but...... Why an Eevee child Zoroar?"

" I wanted to test you." Was Zoroars answer.

" Test? What do you want to test?"

" How much you wanted to win or better said, at which costs."

" And? Did I pass?"

" You have passed. OHHH, and I wanted to ask you something."

" Go on."

" Can I.... Play with you more games? I really liked it to play tag with you."

" HMMMMM.... What do you think about this, Hunny?" Zoran asks Rosy.

" HMMMMM.... I don't know.... I don't really like it to be tricked...."

" PLEASE!" Zoroar said with a Tear in his Eye.

" Of course you can, but only if your parents say yes."

" Of course, and I'm sure that my Mate says also yes. I see you later then." Drake said, smiling, and left with a more than happy Zoroar.

The rest of the evening went on as normal. They all ate something in the Center and then spent the time doing their thing until the night fell. They all said Goodnight to each other then and went to bed.

To be continued
