My dearest

ch.4

     A GLIMPSE OF ASH' S REAL POWER

A long silence was felt in Lake Acuity. The spectators, the referee, and Paul were looking in awe at the Pokémon coated with intense lightning. It was nothing short of amazing, Ash and his Pikachu was in the verge of losing, but all of the sudden something spectacular happened. In all there years of watching, officiating, and competing in Pokémon Battles, they have never see a small Pokémon, a Pikachu, to perform those uniqueand Ash, the naive and clueless Ash, having a psychopathic grin on his face and his voice matching a maniac, is enough for them to be surprise and to have nightmares for a week, at most."What now Paul? Are you going to keep staring at my Pikachu or are you going to battle, I have more and way better things to do than look at your face." Ash said with a smirk.Paul sneered at Ash before throwing a Poke ball towards the field. A gigantic tortoise like Pokémon, with a tree growing out of its back appeared in the field, looking at the lightning shape Panther with interest."So you choose a ground type to combat my Pikachu. I could say it's a surprise but that would also mean I have to say that you're a nice guy and that would mean that hell would have frozen over." Ash sarcastically stated.Paul was gritting his teeth. He didn't know which side of Ash was more aggravating, the naive and clueless side of him or this new side of him which was very sarcastic and very battle-hungry."Come on Pauli where was that 'I don't care if my Pokémons die just as long as I win' attitude of yours. Did it disappear when you saw Pikachu electrocute your Ursaring into a crisp?" Ash asked continuing taunt him."Torterra, Leaf Storm on that rodent now." Paul shouted. Torterra then unleashed a storm of spiralling leaves towards the Pikachu."You could make my life so easy Pauli." Ash said before playing his flute, once again releasing a magnificent and intoxicating melody around the battlefield. Pikachu then charged towards the Leaf Storm with amazing speed, burning the leaves as they touched the panther-shape-lightning-armour. Pikachu then rammed at Torterra, engulfing it with lightning, but after a second Pikachu appeared behind Torterra whom was unharmed.Ash then stops playing his flute and returned it to his pocket. "I see that the Divine Armour of Thunder would not work against that turtle." Ash said, his grin no disappearing from his face.Paul looked at Ash and smirk. "Looks like that trick would not work against my Torterra, it seems that your luck has run out." Paul said with a confident smirk and was about to ordered an attack but was interrupted by Ash."Pikachu, Detonation." An explosion of electricity and light had flooded the field. Everyone who was watching the battle, with the exception of Ash, Elena, and Koyuki, had covered their eyes from the intense light.(Scene Change)"(So 'mother', how long do you think he would last)." Koyuki asked her mother."Five, six minutes at most." Elena said with a smile. "Ash using Detonation means his going to use more accurate moves." Elena added."(And that means 'father' is going to aim at Torterra's weak spot, am I right)?" Koyuki asked already knowing the answer."Yeah, this would be the battle that will show them a glimpse of who really is, Ashura Satoshi Ketchum." Elena said with enthusiasm in her voice."It has been a long time since I last saw Ash battle seriously, I can't wait." Elena said rather excitedly.(Scene Change)"Hey is your Torterra still conscious Paul." Ash asked after the explosion subsided being replace by a cloud of smoke. "Or is it down for the count.""Shut it. Torterra if you know what's good for you, you better still be conscious." Paul shouted with anger. A moment of silence was once again felt in the area as a breeze of wind pass by, blowing the cloud of smoke away thus revealing the two combatants. Pikachu had a smug grin on his face and was unharmed by the explosion of electricity, Torterra on the other hand was not that lucky. Torterra was covered with multiple scorch mark and was panting heavily because of the damage."Pikachu back away from Torterra and let it heal." Pikachu then jumped a coupled of meters away from Torterra."Torterra don't let that mouse get away." Paul ordered. Torterra was about to chasce Pikachu but stumbled and fell to the ground. "Torterra stand up now.""YOU ARE A FOOL." Ash shouted getting Paul's attention. "Your Torterra is injured and it could not chase my Pikachu at his injured state. So do your Torterra a favour and heal him first before attacking." Ash lectured."DON'T TELL ME WHAT MY TORTERRA CAN'T DO. I DON'T NEED SOMEONE LIKE YOU TO WORRY ABOUT MY POKEMONS" Paul shouted back in outrage.Ash began laughing like a manic after hearing what Paul said much to that aggravation of Paul and much to the fear of the spectators. "WHAT SO FUNNY?" Paul was now nearing his limits. He can't believe that in the verge of victory, he would suddenly lose like this against someone he thought was inferior to him."You think I care about your Pokémon. Do you think I would care for a Pokémon that his very own trainer doesn't give a shit about? Don't make me laugh you numb skull." Ash said between his laughs which further aggravates Paul. "I don't care what you do with your Pokemon now Paul. Whether they die or live in you own hands, I don't care anymore. I just want you to heal that giant turtle so he could at least put up a decent fight, I refuse to fight something that is in the verge of collapsing. That would remove the satisfaction of victory." Ash finished with a psychopathic grin on his face."That and I want to beat your Torterra at its strongest. So you better heal your Torterra up or else I would finish this with one attack, so hurry it up, chop chop Pauli." Ash said as he claps his hand to further mock him.Paul was seething in anger, he didn't know what worst's, losing aginst this new Ash that appeared all of the sudden or being lectured by this nuances. But still, he could not change the fact that Ash was right, his Torterra needs healing in order to continue the battle."Torterra, use Synthesis." Paul growled. Torterra's entire body suddenly glowed white as the scorched mark disappears from its body and energy being reclaim."I see that you at least thought your Pokémon a healing move. Not what I expect from a tyrant like yourself. I would expect all of Torterra's moves are all attack but I see that I'm mistaken. Or maybe that moved is self thought because Torterra has some common sense unlike his egotistical trainer." Ash commented with a grin.'I'm going to kill you.' Paul thought as he clutches his fist so tight that it was beginning to draw blood."Brock, is this really Ash?" Dawn asked in a low voice, feeling shivers running up her spin as she watched over what Ash had suddenly become."I have no idea Dawn. This is the first time that I ever seen Ash acts like this during a battle." Brock said, unnerve by the sudden change of his friend.Reggie suddenly stood up and was heading towards where Paul was. That didn't go unnoticed by Brock."Hey Reggie, where are you going?" Brock asked."I'm going to my brother. I going to force him to forfeit this match." Reggie said hiding his eyes."Why? The battle isn't over and Paul's Torterra survive against that move Pikachu just use and it is healing itself. Paul may still have a chance." Brock said to Reggie as he stood up as well."You're wrong Brock, Paul doesn't have a chance. I don't know why but I have a feeling if I let this battle continue, Torterra would not be standing for a very long time. I need to stop this battle for the sake of both Torterra and Paul." Reggie said as he prepares to run towards his brother."Don't ruin my fun Reggie." Ash said as he looked towards Reggie with a glare.Reggie then looked at directly at Ash's piercing brown eyes. Suddenly, as he continue to look at Ash's eye, he felt an earthquake happening in his mind, his entire body began shivering violently, and sweat was suddenly running down his head. He then fell to his knees, paralyze by an unknown reason. He suddenly heard a harsh and frightening voice in his mind.'If you interfere I swear that you would regret it.'"Hey Reggie, are you okay?" Brock asked worriedly as he watched Reggie fall to his knees."Yeah I'm fine." Reggie said as the feeling in his mind suddenly disappear."Are you sure? You were shivering all of the sudden." Brock commented as he helped Reggie on his feet."It's nothing; I think I'm just a bit dizzy." Reggie said as he walked towards where he use to sit.'Strange,' Brock thought before following Reggie back to where Dawn is."Hey Pauli, are you done yet? I'm not growing any younger as I wait." Ash said looking at Paul right in the eyes."Yeah, I'm done." Paul said with a sneer. "Torterra, Stone Edge now." Torterra then began unleashing a fury of rocks towards Pikachu."Pikachu, Thunder Storm." Pikachu jumped in the air before unleashing thousands of lightning bolts towards the battle field. The lightning bolts smashed through the rocks, vaporizing the rocks in contact. The strict of lighting continue its way towards Torterra as Torterra brace itself. The lightning bolts slammed through Torterra and even though it was a duel of grass and Ground type, it scream in pain as strict of lightning continues to rain down on it. When the barrage of lightning was over, Torterra was once again covered with scorched mark but to a lesser extent."Well that was lame, Pikachu Volt Tackle on the tree branch below its back." Ash ordered as Pikachu was once covered by electricity and charged towards Torterra."Torterra, stand you're grown." Torterra, ignoring the pain it was feeling, brace itself and rooted its feet to the grown as Pikachu slammed his head to the tree that was growing on its back. Torterra screamed in pain as electricity travel through its body. "Now, Iron Tail." Pikachu then slammed his glowing white tail to Torterra's back which propelled Pikachu away from Torterra and for Torterra to fall face first to the ground."How did? Torterra's is part ground type, how could he be affected by and Electric attack." Paul asked in shock."You don't know, man you don't even know that simple fact." Ash said mockingly which earned him a glare form Paul."I'll explain so you could at least walk away from this battle with a piece of useful info. Every Pokémon has one certain weak point in their body; if that weak point is hit with an attack the damage would be double. If that weak spot is hit with an attack that would normally do half damage to that Pokémon, it would still inflict full damage if that weak spot is hit." Ash explained."Now your Torterra is a dual Grass and Ground type, both types resist electric type moves so normally electric type moves would not trouble Torterra. It's correct to an extent but if an electric attack hit that weak point on Torterra's body that attack would inflict half the damage that attack would normally inflict. The only reason why my Pikachu only inflict half the damage is that Torterra is a dual type Pokémon that naturally resists eclectic type moves, if Torterra is a grass type or just a ground type those attack that my Pikachu would use would inflict full damage." Ash said as he finished his explanations, oblivious to the fact that everyone was listening to his lecture.."Hey Brock, did you knew that?" Dawn asked curiously."No, I do not." Brock said, awestruck about the information that Ash just shared."Wow, I never thought of Ash being so knowledgeable about Pokémon." Reggie stated."So that's why Torterra is damaged with that Electric attack." Paul said in realization."Yeah but I got to give Torterra some credit. That moved, Thunder Storm, usually could knock out a herd of Tauros with one attack but your Torterra had injured it and still be standing, I applaud that." Ash said as he clapped his hands.Paul didn't know whether that was a insult or a compliment so he just glared at Ash and his Pikachu."Let's see if that rat could survive this, Torterra, Earthquake." Torterra rose up and slammed his feet to the ground, creating a massive earthquake all over the area."Pikachu, Magnetic Rise" Ash said his smile was gone from his face and was now looking at where Elena was watching the battle, were the ground was shaking because of the earthquake. 'That bastard,' Ash though venomously.Pikachu was suddenly enveloped by a thin layer of electricity as he rise from the ground, avoiding the earthquake below him. Pikachu didn't know why but he felt Ash's aura become sinister all of the sudden. 'I got a feeling that this battle is going to be over in a hurry.'"Now Hyper Beam." Torterra then shot a red beam of pure power towards Pikachu."Cut that Hyper Beam in half with Lightning Blade." Pikachu tail suddenly glowed emitted a concentrated amount of electricity to its tail in the shape of a sword. Pikachu then did a summersault which brought the blade of electricity towards the Hyper Beam, cutting the attack in half. The first half of the Hyper Beam hit the surface of Lake Acuity, causing an explosion of water, the other half of the attack on the other hand was headed towards...Ash."ASH, WATCH OUT." Brock and Dawn shouted together.Ash's eyes were hidden from view as the attack neared him. When the attack was merely an inch from him, Ash tilted his head as the attack pass him leaving him relatively undamaged."Paul, Paul, Paul, I intended to play against you, to tire out Torterra so I couldn't hurt your Torterra to much but I change my mind." Ash said as he looked at Paul with eyes filled with anger and loathing. "Now, I am going to destroy your Torterra." Ash shouted with anger."Pikachu, Storm Revolver." Pikachu did multiple summersaults in the air and as he do those summersault a thick layer of electricity rapidly spun around his body. Pikachu then slammed his tail to the ground sending a blast of highly concentrated and extremely intense lightning which carved a path from the ground as it makes its way towards Torterra with remarkable speed.Torterra, having use Hyper Beam, was still recharging and could not move as the attack hit Torterra directly. The attack did not engulf Torterra like an ordinary electric attack but instead it pushed Torterra backward, crushing the ground and Torterra as the attack carves the ground and continues its way forward. After a couple of seconds when it hit Torterra, the attack suddenly change direction and shot upwards, propelling Torterra up to the sky. The electric attack then vanished leaving Torterra falling from the sky."Pikachu, end this with Voltage Dragon." A thick orb of electricity surrounded Pikachu as he began rolling rapidly towards were Torterra was suppose to fall. Suddenly a realistic dragon, that is three times the size of Torterra and made out of pure and highly condensed electricity suddenly shot out of the orb towards the falling Torterra. The dragon of lightning then hit the expose Torterra directly on its back, right on its weak spot. Torterra screamed in pain as a layer of electricity engulf his entire body, electrocuting it within every inch of its body. Torterra then crash to the ground with such force that it created a cloud of smoke.Paul and the spectators didn't moved nor speak. It was clear as day, this battle is over.After a moment, a breeze of wind flew pass by blowing away the cloud of smoke, revealing the two combatants. Torterra was lying on his back, covered with multiple scorched mark, his eyes were shut and he was unmoving, Pikachu on the other hand was standing on top of the fallen Torterra with a giant smile on his face."Hey ref this battle is over so would you be so kind and announce my victory." Ash said as he gazed towards the referee.The referee seems to snap out of his shock and raise his hand on Ash's direction. "Torterra is unable to battle, this round and the match goes to..." The referee wasn't able to finish when Paul suddenly screamed."WAIT, THIS BATTLE IS NOT OVER." Paul shouted which caught the attention of everyone. "Torterra you worthless trash, stand up now." Paul growled as he looked upon the unconscious and injured frame of his starter Pokémon."Ref, announce my victory." Ash said stoically. Paul glared at him when he heard that."Aren't you listening to me? This battle is not over." Paul said as he run off towards his Torterra. Pikachu jumped off Torterra when Paul reached his unconscious Pokémon. Paul then momentarily looked at his most powerful Pokémon before he began kicking his unconscious Pokémon relentlessly."Stand up you worthless piece of trash. I said stand up, this battle is not over so you better stand up." Paul shouted more insulting words as he continue to kick his unconscious Torterra.Reggie stood up together with Brock and Dawn and was headed towards Paul. Reggie, Brock, and Dawn were disgusted of Paul treatment of his Pokémon before but this was an all time low even for him. They intend to stop Paul for further abusing his Torterra but were stop when Ash suddenly appeared besides Paul. Ash was holding Paul's shoulder, forcing Paul to stop kicking his Torterra.Paul threw Ash a glare which Ash retaliates by throwing a punch right on Paul's cheeks sending Paul stumbling to the ground. Ash's friend and Reggie were shocked about Ash hitting Paul, especially Dawn and Reggie, both of which have never saw Ash hit someone before.Paul glare at Ash and was about to charge at him, when Ash shoe's was suddenly implanted on his face followed by another kick on the gut. Paul spat out some saliva as he doubled up in pain. Paul was suddenly force back to his feet and was hit by an uppercut on the chin. Ash then began punching and beating Paul like a rag doll.Ash's friends and Reggie hurriedly ran towards Ash, not even Paul deserved this beating. Reggie caught Ash's hand and tried to restrain Ash, with much difficulty. Who could have thought some like Ash could have this much strength. Brock on the other hand was tending to Paul, who was covered with bruises, had a black eye in his right eye, and bloody lip."You worthless son of a bitch. You're Pokémon gave it all for you; Torterra had injured three of Pikachu's strongest attack and only sustain minimum damage. He had fought for you with everything he has and that's the way you repay his hard work, do you even have heart Paul." Ash shouted angrily as he literally threw Reggie over his head and dropped him flat on his back in order for him to get out of Reggie's grip.Paul spat out some blood and sneered at Ash. "I don't need anyone sympathizing my Pokémons especially you. My Pokémons are my tools, are my weapons and I will decide how I use them." Paul shouted angrily as he once again charged at Ash and threw a punch towards Ash.Ash didn't even bother to move as he caught Paul's punch effortlessly and threw him to the nearest tree. He then attempted to kick Paul's head off and because of his anger he unknowingly charges his kick with a minimum amount of aura. The aura that was on Ash's kick would not kill Paul (damn ) but it was enough to put Paul into a coma for a very long time (that's good news). Ash would have kick Paul's head off but he halted with Torterra suddenly crawled towards Paul, attempting to block Ash's attack. Ash gaze upon the injured Pokémon for a bit sending, telepathic message towards Torterra with his aura.'Why do you protect this trash?' Ash growled in his mind.'Please don't hurt my master, your majesty.' Torterra beg weakly through the telepathic link.Ash gaze upon Torterra a while longer before turning his back on the fallen Pokémon and began walking away.'Fine but if he abandons you, I will kill him.' Ash said through the telepathic link.'Thank you for your mercy, your highness.' Torterra said through the telepathic link before fainting once again."You should be thankful for your Torterra because he saved your ass, Paul. If not for your Torterra, I would beat you down within an inch of your life" Ash stated as he walked towards Reggie, who was still flat on his back. Ash then proceeded to helped Reggie to his feet. Reggie then ran towards Paul, tending to his brothers injuries."Thankful, are you telling me to be thankful to this loser." Paul growled weakly, he was feeling pain both physically and emotionally."Yes, you should be thankful you pathetic man. You're Torterra and the rest of your Pokémon endured your harsh way, they didn't raise a fist nor object to your cruel training. They suffered but they remain loyal to you and you didn't even give a simple thank you." Ash said as he glared towards Paul, sending Paul a vibe of killing intent."You don't deserve such loyal comrades. You take them for granted yet they still follow you, a person like you don't deserve that." Ash said harshly as he walked away, leaving a dishearten Paul.Brock and Dawn followed Ash while Reggie tends to his fallen brother.(Scene Change)Elena watch the scene un fold in front of her and smiled, her loved really knew how to change a person with a beat down and some harsh yet fitting words."He really out did himself." Elena said as she retreated towards the forest. "Come now Koyuki, I need to prepare. Ash is going to take me flying tonight."Koyuki glance towards her 'father' one more time before following her mother towards their campsite.(Scene Change)It was now early in the evening, and Brock was preparing the groups dinners. They have reached the centre late afternoon and Ash quickly deposited all of his Pokémon, including his Pikachu, to Nurse Joy in order for them to heal from their injuries and to have a well deserve rest, after that Ash went to bed to rest himself. It was now evening and now Brock was cooking Ash's favourite's food for a rewards for his victory, Dawn on the other hand was a bit... hyper tonight."Wow, Ash was amazing, I never saw any of those move that Pikachu perform." Dawn said as she jumped and down with her Pokémon. "I especially like the way he beat Paul to a pulp, finally somebody knock some sense to that jerk.""Dawn please calm down. I've enjoy the battle as much as you did 'cause I never saw Ash battle like that but Paul didn't deserve to get beat like that." Brock said as he tasted the food that he was preparing."Are you kidding Brock, after how he treated his Pokémon? If you ask me Ash should have kick Paul ass even more." Dawn responded. "But I haven't seen those moved that Ash's Pikachu did, it was amazing." Dawn thoughts then drifted back to the battle and those moved that Pikachu executed that overwhelm and overpower Torterra."You're not the only one Dawn. I've been travelling with Ash for a long time and even I haven't seen those moved." Brock said as he began serving the food around the table."Maybe Ash can teach me some of those improvise move, especially that lightning dragon. That would be so cool in my appeals." Dawn said with star in her eyes."Yeah probably but I think Ash and Pikachu train hard to create those move, you may not mastered or execute them like the manner Ash and Pikachu did." Brock stated but Dawn was too positive to listen."No need to worry, Brock. If Ash can do it so can I." Dawn declared arrogantly."Probably, hey Dawn could you wake Ash up, dinner's ready." Brock said.Dawn nodded and was about to go to Ash's room in the Pokémon centre but she halted when she saw Ash's Staraptor, who was covered with bandages, flown towards her."Hey Staraptor, you should be resting." Dawn said as she patted Staraptor's wings, she then notice a note that was place on Staraptor's feet. Dawn took the note and looked at it curiously. "Hey Brock their's a note on Ash's Staraptor.""Huh a note, what does it say?" Brock asked as he walked towards Dawn. Brock and Dawn then read what was written on the note.Don't wait up for me. I'll be goon all night, don't follow me or else I will make you regret it...And that means you Brock... Ash...Ps. I mean it...After reading the note Brock sigh. "Looks like Ash wouldn't be joining us. Come on Dawn, let it." Brock said casually."WHAT AREN'T YOU WORRIED? THIS IS THE SECOND NIGHT IN THE ROW THAT ASH DIDN'T JOIN US FOR DINNER." Dawn yelled at Brock. "I think we should look for Ash.""ARE YOU NUTS? THE LAST TIME I FOLLOWED ASH I END UP GETTING MY ASS HANDED TO ME AND I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THAT KIND OF BEATING AGAIN." Brock yelled in fear and outrage. "If you want to find Ash go ahead but don't expect me to join." Brock stated."Coward." Dawn mumbled but didn't continue her plan to search for Ash. It was getting dark.(Scene Change)A bright and lively melody was heard all throughout the forest. The melody was so beautiful that all the Pokémon in the forest head towards the source of the magnificent music. Much to the shock of every Pokémon there, a human, a mortal was creating that magnificent melody through his flute. Normally those wild and dangerous Pokémon that were watching would have attack the human but because of the strong and calming aura that the said human was emitting they hesitated which was probably a good idea cause the said human could beat them with little to no effort.The man who was playing the flute was so caught in his own melody that he did not notice someone approaching him until the said person wrapped her arms around him."You were wonderful, AsH." The woman said in a whisper.Ash stopped playing his flute and then lend to her embrace. "That meant a lot coming from you, Elena."Elena giggled a bit before straddling in front him, not letting go of the embrace. "You know you were fantastic in that battle. You should battle seriously more often." Elena said as she buried her head on Ash's shoulder."Maybe, Pikachu and I enjoyed battling seriously maybe I'll start battling at my natural way when I'm battling with Pikachu or any other Pokémons who could follow my orders." Ash said as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "But still, did you think what I did was a bit too harsh. I could tell that Torterra would be injured and would not be able to battle for a long time and I know for a fact that I broke Paul's ribs."Elena looked at Ash for a bit before kissing his forehead. "You did what was necessary for the Paul guy to change. You two have one thing in common." Elena stated."Me have something in common with him, are you insulting me?" Ash asked but it was clear that he was offended."Yeah, you two don't know how to balance your skills. You are compassionate and kind in your Pokémon training while that Paul guys his plain ruthless, there is no balance. My sister said that a Pokémon Master should have balance, a master must be compassionate with his Pokémon and ruthless in battle, if one is lacking or if there is no balance, the trainer's true potential could never be reach." Elena lectured."I know that, Pikachu have told me that tons of time." Ash said with a smile, he was glad that Elena was there to lecture him time to time. "I hope you remember your promise do." Ash then lifted Elena, bridal style.Elena laughed a bit before wrapping her arms around Ash's shoulder. "Just be gentle, I haven't flown with you for a long time.""Sure, let's fly towards the sky, Elena." Ash said as he kisses her gently on the lips. He then looked at sky before uttering the four words that every practitioner of Aura must know.'"Aura is with me." With those words, a pair of sky blue wings suddenly burst from Ash's back. The feathers of the wings that burst out from Ash's back was glowing a faint bluish aura and that Aura was having a side effect on all of the plants there, the plants were starting to grow. Ash then expanded his wings to their maximum wing span, which was ten feet. Ash, with his magnificent wings, now resembles a divine angel.Elena looked at Ash's wings with admiration and awe. "The Wings of the Divine Aura, the symbol of a full fledge Aura Prince. You should be proud Ash; those wings are the symbol of your achievement." Elena said as she prepared herself to fly with her loved."Yeah I'm proud of my wings." Ash said as he glances at his angelic wings. "Let's fly my angel." Ash then took flight and flew towards the night sky with amazing speed.Elena let out a yelp of excitement but regains her composure as they flew higher. Elena looked dazzled as she watched the stars and the moon up-close, the beauty of the stars and the moon was even more amazing now that she was looking at them this close. Ash looked at Elena's amaze expression and smirked, it's time to have some fun.Ash wrapped his arms tighter on Elena's body and began doing some impressive aerial manoeuvring. Ash began flipping, spinning and more aerial acrobatics as he flew up higher. It stirred up a desire reaction from Elena; Elena wrapped her arms around Ash's shoulder and buried her face in his chest. Ash smiled and rocketed towards the sky, he has one thing to show his beloved that he worked hard to master."Open your eyes Elena; I have something to show you." Ash said, he was now on the perfect place to begin the show.Elena opened her eyes and stare at her surroundings. Ash was still, holding her tight and close, and they were so high that she could practically touch the stars and see how large the moon really is. "Why are we so high, Ash? If I remember correctly, you couldn't fly this high before." Elena pondered."I've been practicing." Ash said to her. "Now watch this."Ash extended his free hand and began focusing aura on that hand. After a couple of second of concentrating, a rainbow colour Aura Sphere appeared in that hand and it was still expanding. Ash then clutches that Aura into his hand, and suddenly a sceptre like staff was formed on that rainbow sphere.The staff was purely made out of crystals that has a rainbow like glow. On the top of the staff was an ornament that looks like fully bloom blue lotus.Elena wasn't surprise seeing the elegant staff and continue on looking at Ash confusedly. Ash looked at Elena and smiled. "Watch this," Ash whispered to Elena.Ash then raises his staff over his head and began spinning it rapidly. As he spins his staff, the stars seemingly followed the movement of his staff and began rotating around him. In a matter of moments, he and Elena were engulf and surrounded by countless beautiful rotating stars in a spherical. Elena was stunned and awe because of the beauty of the stars, she was seeing so many beautiful colours. Elena could not resist the temptation and extended her arms to touch the stars that were surrounding her and her beloved. When she touches the stars, it was like touching countless diamonds in the form dust, she can't explain the sensation."You enjoy touching the stardust, right Elena?" Ash asked which Elena nodded. "Good but this is not what I want to show, this is." Ash then swung his staff in front of him which causes the stars, that was surrounding them, to shot towards that direction, creating a dozen of beautiful miniature shooting stars behind and in front of them. "That is what I want to show."Elena was speechless, what Ash did was so spectacular and beautiful that she was awed into speechless. Her Ash literally created a dozen of shooting stars and they were on the middle of it."Did you like it, I worked so hard on mastering that trick." Ash asked looking at Elena's awed face.Elena looked at Ash and answered him the only way she knows how, she wrapped her arms around Ash's shoulder and kiss him with so much loved and passion that Ash almost lose his ability flight but quickly regain it.'I'll take that as a yes.' Ash thought before kissing Elena back with all the loved and passion he could muster up. Ash, unknowingly, wrapped his arms around her waist and wrapped his wings around Elena's body, engulfing both of them. As they kiss, Ash's wings emitted a powerful and bright sky blue aura that hummed in the sky.If a person looked at the sky at that moment, they would see a blue star in the middle of a shooting star but they could not be so wrong. In the middle of that man made shooting stars was merely a prince and his angel, cherishing each other with a kiss in the middle of the sky as the shooting stars descends on earth and as the moon shine brightly
