Ash Ketchum: Shatter like Diamonds

Chapter Four: Talk

Chapter Four: Blind Rage

Lillie: So tell me Ash Ketchum, what the fuck did you do?!

They were in a cave in Kalos, waiting for the rain to stop. It's been a day since their escape, and safe to say they were both pissed. Ash's bounty had increased to one night with any royal woman or man, including Lusamine, and half the Team Diamond fortune. Due to the "fact" they were dating, it made the already deranged Lusamine even more pissed off. Neither were interested in one another, but it was too late for that.

The entire world wanted him dead now. The fortune of Diamond was enough but add in the fact that they could sleep with anyone of their choosing, it made it even worse. People were trying to track him down, but they were novices at best.

Ash: You know how your family killed off all Aura and Psychic users? Well Arceus made a different form of it. It's called Meta. My Meta ability is that I'm the fastest thing in the universe. Each person Meta ability is different. Mine may be speed, but yours could be invincibility, immortality, or a better reproduction system. It all depends on the person. But the amount of Meta determines whether you can use that power or not. My body is 100% Meta energy, while yours is a measly 5%. The only way to use an ability is to have 51 or above. No one has achieved this other than me.

Lillie: Like an X-Men, or Quirk!

Ash: What the heck is that?

Lillie: How do you not know that? It's from comic books and a manga series.

Ash: Unlike you, I was not treated like a princess, so I have zero idea what you're talking about.  Profiteers have such a good life. 

Lillie: Doesn't matter. Wait, do you still have-

Ash: My other abilities? I do, but I still don't know how they work. All I need is speed, but it does have a terrible drawback.

Lillie: Whiplash.

Ash: Exactly. I neutralized most of it with my gear, but it's still a problem.  If I take these clothes up and use meta, I kill myself. 

Lillie: Well, I think it's a cool power.

Ash: Thank you, and it's certainly helpful. One of the reasons Pokemon love me so much, and agree to basically everything I say, is because of my Meta amount. More Meta, more control. I can make them do whatever I want. I couldn't speak with them though, so I never ordered them.

Lillie: How many secrets do you have?!   And that psychic thing.

Ash: A lot, part of the gig. But something's been eating at me recently. Have we met before?

Lillie: Well...yes. Multiple times.

Ash: Story time?

Lillie: Oh shut up. But yes, story time.

(Quick backstory thing from Lillie's POV, she's saying this to Ash)

As you know, I'm the youngest Aether child. I was given my powers from Kyruem, and trained. This was around when you debuted as a criminal, stealing from Lusamine. The ring you gave me is technically hers.

Anyway, she was livid when she found out, so she ordered us to make a team to find you. We'd thought it'd be easy, but it definitely wasn't. There were two teams, me and Gladion. None of us knew anything about you, so when we found an 11-year-old boy, a little over my age, it was an interesting shock.

You attacked, knocking out Gladion and both our teams instantly. You were about to do the same to me, but then you stopped. Never gave an explanation, just stopped attacking. I blinked and you were gone, like you faded into the wind.
