Time Heals All Wounds, Right?

The End

No POV
   "Pikachu use Quick Attack to dodge any attacks that come your way!" Ash called out.

"Luxray Wild Charge on Pyroar."

"Exploud, BoomBurst."

"Take it Pyroar."

A Small explosion engulfed the ring in dust and when the dust settled each trainer's Pokemon had stood their ground.

"Pyroar… end these weaklings and use Heat Wave." Pyroar glowed a dark shade of purple before letting out a powerful Heat Wave instantly knocking out Luxray and Exploud, and leaving Pikachu in very bad shape.

"What…? Um, Luxray and Exploud are unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokem-"

"NO!" Called a certain someone from the ring.

Ash POV

"This is between me and him." I turned my attention to Lysandre, "What are you doing here?"

"I came here looking for you Boy." There was something off about him. It's almost like he's just a hollow shell of his former self. One thing was for sure, he's not going to win.

"Well I'm here aren't I?"

"Not yet. Pyroar take down."

"Pikachu dodge and use Iron Tail as he's passing by." Pyroar started its charge towards Pikachu but at the last second Pikachu jumped to the side so that he was slightly above Pyroar. Pikachu took this opportunity and slammed his Iron Tail into Pyroars back and slammed him into the ground.

"Tch, get up and use scratch multiple times"

"Pikachu hold your ground using  a combination of Quick Attack and Iron Tail."

Both Pokemon started a ferocious clash with neither side seeming to let up.

"How long do you think you can keep this up boy?"

"I can go for as long as need be."

"How can you be sure of that." A small smirk grew on his face showing any expression for the first time since the match started.

"Because I trust my Pokemon and friends."

"But do they trust you back back? Hell they don't even know you exist."

I was shocked at the words that came out of his mouth, not because he was intimidating, but because he spoke the truth, "You're right, Now's time to let the world know."

The clash between both Pyroar and Pikachu ended in a small shockwave sending the Pokemon back towards their trainers. I reached back towards the binds that held my face covering on to me. Slowly the binds came undone and I raised the cover above my head and let go, for it to be taken by the wind. The second I let go a huge weight got taken of my shoulders and it was time for the real fight to start.

"I am Ash Ketchum, of Pallet Town," I turned to see my friends in the Audience. Gary and Serena had a smile on their faces, while the others had a few tears running down their faces. I lower my gaze to my partner.

"You want to know that answer to your question Lysandre?" I raised my head and looked Lysandre straight in the eyes. "It's because of the bonds we formed upon our travels that helped all of us move on."

I could feel my Arua start to wrap around me and Pikachu. "The bonds that were formed could never be broken, so if you ask me if they trust me? You better know that they do. And… I REFUSE TO BREAK THAT TRUST OR LET ANY OF THEM DOWN!" The Arua flared up around me and Pikachu and I knew we now had a fighting chance.

"Pikachu show them your Thunder." Dark clouds formed above Pyroar and it started to rain before a powerful bolt of lightning  shot towards Pyroar and struck him causing the Royal Pokemon to cry in pain.
