Devastated Boy{Amourshipping}

Chapter-10

"Ash did all of that?" Cynthia asked, her voice filled with disbelief as she tried to comprehend the extent of Ash's actions.

"Yeah, I'd say we're still alive because of that boy," Lance remarked, his expression showing remorse for the situation.

Curiosity got the better of Cynthia, and she inquired about Reshiram, "So, what did you do with Reshiram?"

"Ash had a really hard time making his choice, but Reshirams his Pokémon now," Lance revealed, causing Cynthia's eyes to widen in surprise.

"What?" Cynthia exclaimed, shocked by Ash's sudden change of heart. "He just caught it after saying sorry, it wasn't in any shape to resist being caught anyways," Lance explained, noticing a strange chord clinging to Cynthia's neck. "Hey, what's that?" he pointed at the tiny string.

"Huh?" Cynthia muttered, reaching for her neck, only to find a nearly invisible string tied to it, with a Pokeball attached at the end. "What's this... a Pokeball?" she questioned cautiously, examining the ultra ball.

"Is that yours?" Lance asked, wondering about the rare item.

"No, I don't really use ultra balls," Cynthia replied after confirming it didn't belong to her.

"It's for you," Tobias interjected, appearing from behind and earning a reproachful reaction from Cynthia. "Stop vanishing and reappearing out of nowhere," she snapped at him.

"He's the one who helped us clean up the mess here," Lance said offering him a handshake, attempting to introduce Tobias, but the latter declined Lance's offered handshake, speaking coldly about his involvement in the situation. Lance and Cynthia were clearly displeased with Tobias's attitude.

Tobias seemed to treat Lance and Cynthia with a lack of respect, which irked them both. Lance couldn't even begin to ask what Tobias meant when Cynthia interjected, questioning Ash's true self-based on Lance's account of his aggression towards Reshiram. Inside his mind, Tobias pondered the situation.

"I told you what I know, for now, take care of your brother," Tobias evasively replied before turning away. Cynthia was left stunned, realizing that Tobias might know something she didn't.

"There's no way you could've known that," Lance argued, but Tobias remained indifferent, "i hope that you would be able to control the Pokémon inside the ultra ball." Tobias tells Cynthia.

Before departing, Cynthia thanked Tobias for his aid with Kyurem, not knowing that he wasn't the one who saved them. Tobias, who held great respect for the enigmatic man he served, kept his secrets concealed.

In his thoughts, Tobias wished he could reveal the truth but resigned himself to follow his superior's will. As he left he took out a Pokeball "You still don't accept me as your master, do you not?" Tobias murmured to a Pokéball, receiving no response but a sigh from himself.

Five days later, at the Kanto base, the elite members gathered to discuss what to do about Ash's actions against Reshiram.

"You're saying he lost control again," Steven remarked, slamming his hands on the table in frustration.

Cynthia attempted to defend Ash, but Leon stopped her, advising her not to let personal emotions cloud her judgment. Feeling uneasy about Cynthia's behavior, Ash wondered about her odd demeanor.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Reshiram almost finished all of us off," Lance intervened, explaining how they had to prioritize saving themselves.

"You saw Reshiram's condition, right? It could've died. The world would've lost a great legendary Pokémon, and even now, it's barely stable," Steven added, voicing concern for Reshiram's well-being.
