Pokemon: Arceus' Champion

"I'm just saying, you didn't need to take him THAT seriously." Dawn told Misty.

"Well the brat annoyed me." Misty defended herself.

"Hey, the way he was talking, I would've sent out Riolu."

"Ri!"

"No, I am not insulting you. I'm saying that I would've wanted you to completely smash his Pokemon into the ground without breaking a sweat."

"You guys are bullies..." Dawn concluded, ending the conversation.

We were once again on the road after our lunch break and Misty's battle, in which she completely demolished youngster Joey's Pokemon with ease.

None of us had even been sore winners or anything, and the kid ran off crying to the nearest Pokemon Center after being beaten. As if he'd truly expected a different outcome with nothing but a little Rattata.

Don't get me wrong, Rattata and Raticate could be good Pokemon if trained properly, but his obviously wasn't, and people rarely put in the effort to train them.

Either way the kid stood literally no chance against any of us in the first place, and Misty and I felt no remorse for him with how cocky he'd been acting.

So we continued on to our destination, which was the very same Pokemon Center the kid went crying to as we tried to reach it before nightfall. And thankfully we did, right as the sun began dipping behind the ridge on the western horizon.

"Yay! Actual beds and a shower!" May exclaimed happily as Dawn and Misty made similar exclamations of joy, while I was just wryly smiling at their reactions.

"Ri."

"I know bud, but girls are just different from guys like us." I told Riolu as he made a comment about their excitement. It wasn't as if I didn't entirely understand them though, as bathing in the rivers only worked so well.

If only there was a way we could take things like a shower with us as we traveled...

I then found myself smiling from nostalgia as I recalled a certain enviable device that did something just like that in one of the animes I watched as a kid. In fact, you were able to take an entire house, and numerous vehicles anywhere you wanted in your pocket.

Ah, if only...

I was then drawn my daydreaming as we came upon a large and bright building that was like a beacon in the growing darkness. It was a Pokemon Center that dwarfed the size of all other Pokemon Centers that I had seen until now, though it wasn't that many.

There was a reason for that though, as this was the only actual building that existed between Pewter and Cerulean. And while it was mostly a Pokemon Center, it's layout to me looked more like a mall as numerous branches from different corporations appeared to have a place within it, along with a sign on the outside that showed the Officers also had a presence here.

Hurrying towards it, the girls and I entered the Pokemon Center to find it full of several trainers making the crossing between Pewter and Cerulean cities. There were also several who were probably here just to explore Mt. Moon since it was rich in fossils and moon stones, not to mention the extremely rare Clefairy.

Currently though they were all gathered around a large monitor off to the side, which was playing a commercial for Moo Moo Milk before transitioning to show a woman in her twenties with bowl-like brown hair.

"Hellooooo~ everybody! And welcome back to Gabby's Corner, where I, Gabby, talks about the hottest trainers in the Sinnoh, Hoenn, Johto, and Kanto regions right from my studio in Mauville city!

"If you're just joining us then you've missed out on us talking about Barry and Lucas from Sinnoh, my interview with Brandon from Hoenn, and Gold, and Crystal from Johto! But that's alright, because each and every episode of Gabby's Corner goes straight to Pokevision after every airing! So, without further ado, let's move on to the trainers to watch out for in KANTO!"

As she said so, the screen changed to an overview of the Kanto region, before numerous Pokemon that were indigenous to the area also appeared on the screen. Probably a green screen.

"All throughout Kanto there are numerous tough trainers out there, just waiting for their next challenge! But not every trainer is content to wait, as you'll see shortly!

"First up in our trainer spotlight is a lean, mean, dream machine for all you boys out there! Representing the ladies, is miss Leaf Green!"

As gabby called out her name, the image of a girl that looked to be about the same age as me appeared on the screen. She had medium length brown hair under her white hat, a blue tank top that tightly hugged her figure, and a short red skirt.

A second later it shifted to show her battling with a Bulbasaur against Brock, before moving on to the two of them in a water type Gym battling a girl in a swimsuit, and her Goldeen.

I felt Misty tense beside me as the screen shifted back to Gabby, who declared,

"Miss Green is a novice trainer who is quickly becoming famous in the world of trainers due to her using only the Bulbasaur at her side to battle so far, which she has named Bulby for anyone curious! With only three weeks experience, she already has both the Boulder and Cascade badges under her belt, and she's shown no sign of slowing down!

"Next up is a dashing young man that should get the ladies screaming, with his background if nothing else. He is the one and only grandson of a former Champion and world famous professor, Gary Oak!"

This time the screen shifted to show us all Gary, who was sitting in the back of a red convertible with a smug smirk on his face, and numerous cheerleaders around him.

We then got a few highlights of his recorded battles just like Leaf Green, before we returned to Gabby who stated,

"Gary is not only the grandson of the famous professor Samuel Oak, but he's also one of three trainers the great professor is currently sponsoring on thee journey! And boy is it a journey!

"Not only is Gary undefeated in every battle he's participated in since his journey began, but he also acquired his Cascade badge just earlier today! Coincidently, Gary also started his journey the same day as miss Green! What are the odds!?!"

That made me cock my head curiously, as that WAS quite the coincidence, coupled with the fact that Leaf Green was using a Bulbasaur when the one meant for Ash was stolen...

Nah. I must be overthinking things.

"And now, let's get to the topic of the hottest trainer of the week!" Gabby declared suddenly, drawing my attention back to the screen since there was apparently more.

"The hottest trainer of the week is the number one trainer to look out for! They're always the ones causing scenes and making waves like no other trainer can! And presenting him now, MR. ACE KETCHUM!!!"

Huh?!

I almost exclaimed out loud when I heard my name come from the monitor, while I felt the girls paying more attention as well as she continued.

"Ace Ketchum is quickly becoming a star in the world of trainers! Having started on the same day as both Gary Oak and Leaf Green, he's ANOTHER of the trio being sponsored by the great professor Oak!

"With more than fifty battles under his belt, Ace is undefeated in ALL of them before he went on to challenge Brock of Pewter city! And what a challenge it was, as Ace apparently wasn't satisfied with the typical Gym Leader challenge, and ended up battling against Brock's ACTUAL team! We only have footage of their first four Pokemon battling, but the fact that the battle was officially declared his victory speaks volumes!

"But that's not all folks! If you recognize mr. Ketchum, then it's probably because this is not the first time he's been in the lime light!"

After she said that a new clip started playing, showing the front of a hospital before the doors to it were blasted open.

"Wassup bitches and knob bobbers!? My name is Ace Ketchum!"

My voice echoed throughout the Pokemon Center as Gabby played the clip from when I had been hospitalized from the Houndour attack, before switching back to her as she exclaimed,

"That's right! Ace Ketchum was the same young boy five years ago who took on a pack of Houndour bare handed, AND lived to tell the tale before exposing THE Team Rocket to the world! Even if they aren't active in Hoenn, Team Rocket's malicious actions and reputation have earned them worldwide notoriety! So seeing such a young man taking charge against them is inspirational to all!

"I don't know about you viewers at home, but I for one very much look forward to seeing what mr. Ace Ketchum accomplishes from here on out! Until next time, this is Gabby's Corner, and I'll see you next week!"

And with that the monitor went dark, before it switched to the next program.

"Damn, I hoped it'd show me this week."

"Please! In your dreams maybe!"

"HA! Those losers aren't even worth mentioning! I'll have my father contact the station so they can show PROPER trainers next week."

"Wait a minute... Isn't that-!"

I flinched as nearly every eye present turned towards the girls and I.

Fuck you Arceus.

"No way... It's really him!"

"It's Ace Ketchum!"

"Dude! Look at the girls with him!"

Immediately there were numerous mutterings around us that my aura heightened hearing picked up, which also included some not-so-flattering remarks about the girls. I made sure to direct some killing intent at them through my aura, and I'm pretty sure some guy pissed himself from it.

On the surface though I ignored all of them as we tried to approach the front desk. I say tried, because ONE of them couldn't leave us be.

"So YOU are Ace Ketchum!" Sneered a young man who's voice matched the guy talking about his father earlier. He was wearing a perfectly tailored and pressed suit, and his hair with perfectly sculpted with what I'd assume was the most expensive hair gel.

I deadpanned as the rich boy approached us, blatantly eyeing each girl as if she were his next meal despite me standing next to them.

"You girls don't look too bad~. How about ditching that worthless vagrant and spending the night with a REAL trainer?" The rich boy asked while leering at them suggestively.

"Ew." Dawn exclaimed while shuddering slightly.

"Right? He's disgusting." May stated irritably.

"Now I REALLY need a shower." Misty added, as all three of the girls seemingly took refuge behind me.

"Haaa...." I sighed while pinching the bridge of my nose. "You girls go on ahead and get the room. I'll deal with this scrub." I told them while shaking my head in exasperation.

"Thank you Ace~!" May exclaimed gleefully as she kissed my cheek.

"I feel much better!" Dawn added as she kissed my other cheek.

"Thanks I guess..." Misty concluded, before flinching as I smirked at her. She then reluctantly, and embarrassedly, stepped forward and planted a quick peck on my lips.

She then broke it off and quickly fled with red cheeks, making Dawn, May and I chuckle at her expense.

"Don't take too long." Dawn called out as she and May went to go get our room, while I turned my attention back to the rich kid.

"Haaa.... Alright, let's hurry so I can go and join my ladies in the shower." I told him, without any real interest. All I saw was a brat who thrived off of daddy's money, so he wasn't worth my time.

"Humph! You will regret taking me lightly Ace Ketchum!" The rich brat exclaimed, before leading the way to arena in this Pokemon Center, with a crowd following us.

"Ri..."

"Yeah... It's why I didn't really want to get famous this quickly..." I dispiritedly told Riolu, who commented on how annoying they all were.

Hopefully, this won't be a repeat situation.

We soon arrived at the arena where everyone quickly filled the stands while one of the Nurses Joy working here took the place of the referee, and the two of us took our places.

"Now, please send out your first Pokemon!" The Nurse Joy declared.

"Go, Exeggutor!"

"Go Nidorina!"

A crash filled the arena as the two Pokemon appeared, Exeggutor tall and menacing as he stamped his feet, while the rich brat's Nidorina flexed the numerous barbs that covered her entire body. Was it me, or had Exeggutor grown a bit taller?

"Battlers ready? Begin!" Nurse Joy declared, starting the match.

"Nidorina, use Toxic Spikes!" The rich brat ordered the moment the battle began, to which the Nidorina complied as she scattered dozens of poisonous spikes around Exeggutor's feet.

I fought the urge to shake my head at the action, since anyone could see that Exeggutor didn't need to move to fight. And to show just that, I communicated to him through my aura.

Psyshock.

"TOOOOOOOOR!"

With a roar from Exeggutor, he began creating numerous psychic waves that assaulted Nidorina without taking a single step, which dealt significant physical damage despite being a psychic type move.

"Wha-what was that!?! You didn't even give it an order you cheater!" The rich brat complained immediately.

I just snorted and shook my head at the idiotic accusation, which no one even acknowledged since powers used by humans weren't restricted from use during battles.

Psychic.

I communicated to Exeggutor, who immediately encased Nidorina's entire body in psychic energy before lifting her up off the ground.

"Nido! Nido!" Nidorina urgently screamed from the move's effect on her, as poison types like her were weak to psychic type moves, and she was already weakened from the earlier Psyshock.

Hypnosis.

With one last order Exeggutor's eyes began to glow as he looked into Nidorina's, making her grow increasingly drowsy despite the pain from Psychic.

Soon she had fallen asleep completely, at which point Exeggutor deposited her on the ground as Nurse Joy declared, "Nidorina is unable to battle! Exeggutor wins!"

"Grrrr..." The rich brat growled angrily from his Nidorina being beaten, before he returned her to her Pokeball and I overheard him say to her, "you're lucky we're here to get you a moon stone, otherwise I'd have just gotten rid of you already."

I frowned at his attitude since only losers blamed their own Pokemon for losing, especially when he was the one who lost focus while trying to accuse me of cheating.

Even the spectators were directing dirty looks at him since he had talked so much shit, only to let himself get beaten so easily.

"This isn't over yet.... Go Persian!"

"Purr purr."

The next thing we all knew there was a cougar-like feline on the battlefield with large ears, and a red gem imbedded in its forehead.

"Exeggutor return. Go, Squirtle!" I declared as I decided to give another of my Pokemon a chance to fight.

"Squirtle squirt!" Squirtle declared as he made his appearance, dancing cockily as he did so. Unfortunately the Toxic Spikes were still present, so Squirtle had to be careful to avoid them.

"Battlers ready? Begin!" Nurse Joy declared as she started the battle.

"Persian, use Power Gem!"

"Purr."

With a growl, the gem in Persian's forehead began to glow before producing a powerful beam of glittering light that shot right at Squirtle.

Mirror Coat.

Squirtle's body began to emit a type of psychic energy right as the beam hit him, only to be redirected and returned to Persian at twice the strength.

"Purr!" Persian exclaimed as it took the hit, stunning it slightly from surprise.

Aqua Jet.

Zen Headbutt.

I swiftly gave Squirtle his next orders, and my little turtle shot forward with water encasing his entire body while gathering psychic type energy to his head.

"Persian, use Take Down!" The rich brat hurriedly declared.

"Purr!" Persian roared as it shot forward to meet Squirtle's attack head on in a reckless full strength tackle.

*Crash!*

The two collided in the middle of the arena as the water encasing Squirtle's body exploded outward on impact, washing away most of the Toxic Spikes as it did so. And for a moment the duo fought the other for supremacy, when suddenly.

"Purr!" Persian cried out as Squirtle's strength overcame its own, and sent it flying back to land in a heap on the ground.

For a moment there was silence as everyone waited, before Nurse Joy declared, "Persian is unable to battle! Squirtle wins!"

"Are you kidding me!?!" The rich brat roared angrily from having lost the battle.

"Good job buddy!" I said to Squirtle, who shot me a thumbs up in response, right before his entire body began to glow.

My already wide smile widened as Squirtle grew twice as large before the light died down, revealing that he had grown white fins on either side of his head, while his tail was now white and larger as well.

"Wartortle!" My newly evolved Pokemon declared, before proceeding to do his bully Maguire dance excitedly.

"HAHA!" I laughed happily as I went and placed my hand atop Wartortle's head to congratulate him, something I didn't even need to bend over or kneel down to do anymore since he was nearly four feet tall now.

"I'd like to see Brock's Golem take you on NOW."

"Ri!" Riolu agreed with me as he congratulated one of his teammates.

"War war!" Wartortle exclaimed while flexing slightly to show off.

Naturally everyone else was excited as well, since it wasn't every day you got to see a Pokemon evolve, and Wartortle was definitely larger than his species usually were.

Before they could flood me, I quickly returned him to his Pokeball and turned to take my leave with Riolu before noticing a cute blonde haired girl quickly approaching me.

"Oh. My. God! That battle was like, amazing! I'm like, your biggest fan!" The girl exclaimed to me excitedly, making some of the other girls angry at her for stealing a march.

"Well thanks little lady~." I said while placing an arm around her waist. "What say you and I go and discuss it, by ourselves?"

The crowd of women behind us pouted as I only gave her attention, and the two of us slipped away from them while Riolu rolled his eyes and went to find to the girls.

...

"Ahn Ahn ahn!"

"Yeah, you like that don't you?" I asked the young woman who approached me out in the arena as I had her on her back on a bench in one of the Pokemon Center locker rooms.

I pistoned in and out of her rapidly as her inner walls clamped down on me greedily, the dress she had been wearing now open at the chest to allow her breasts to bounce freely with every thrust, and the blonde wig even began slipping so some strands of her magenta hair began to slip out of it.

Unlike our first time together, Jessie no longer looked down at me condescendingly as a 'little boy' or 'inexperienced twerp'. I didn't give her that luxury as I abused her cervix and did things to her than no other man had before.

Thankfully I locked the doors leading into here when we entered the locker room, as soon I had us both stripped naked as we entered the showers to fuck some more. At one point I even had one of Jessie's legs up onto my shoulder, making her do a split while balancing on one leg as I continued thrusting.

It was only once I finished that I asked her, "so, what's going on?"

Jessie had to take a moment to catch her breath, even as she changed the temperature of the water so that it was cooler, before saying,

"I came here as 'reconnaissance' while James and Meowth work on repairing the Rhydon drill, since I'm better with the disguises. Thanks for that by the way." She finished saying in a flat voice.

"Hey. I'm not the one who gave you three the order to attack me. I just said to keep the act up so they don't suspect anything." I said in response to her irritation from this mornings 'blast off'.

"Yeah? Well if we keep getting beaten by you then the three of us are going to be in a whole lot of trouble anyways!" Jessie snarled, which actually made me pause in thought.

She did kind of have a point.

I couldn't care less about James and Meowth, but I had already decided that Jessie was 'mine'. I promised her as much when I threatened her into becoming my double agent. And I'll be damned if I let someone else lay a hand on my property.

"Well, then you three better keep your distance from me for the moment then. Good thing I already made sure to deal with those trackers, huh?" I told her while recalling the scene of me 'accidentally' finding the numerous bugs Jessie had originally broken into our room to plant on our things to begin with.

She'd told me where they all were at of course, but since one was also designed to listen in on our conversations, the girls and I put on a bit of show finding and destroying them all. Now the Rocket trio had no way to actually track us, so it wouldn't be too weird if they lost us for a while.

"Well.... I might be able to steer James and Meowth away from your trail for a while. I'll just have to make it seem like James' idea so that it doesn't come back on me." Jessie mused for a moment under the cascading water, before turning back to me as she said,

"Well anyways. The reason I actually decided to do some 'reconnaissance' was to tell you in person that Executive Petrel has given the order. Tonight is when a team will be sent into Mt. Moon, if they aren't already there."
