A New Life

Chapter 21 - Another Confrontation.

This continued for a while.

Ash, Paul, Chase, Gary and Alain were winning all of their battles with ease, and they were doing it with a flare.

The group of traitors were only just managing to get through, during this tournament Ash had realised that his old friends only wanted him around so he could help them in their contests and battles. Since they had split Ash had heard May, Dawn and Serena were not winning any contests and that Brock, Cilan, Trip, Drew and Kenny were not winning any battles either, Cilan and Brock had also been removed as gym leaders and kicked out of their families.

Ash had also heard his mother had slept around with different people since he had been away, there was a rumour that she was even pregnant but he did not know if he believed that.

Ash knew they were going to have another run in, but he did not think it would be this soon.

"You think you are so good, don't you?" Brock sneered.

"But you see I am good." Ash said with a smile.

"You are only good because of the legendaries you hold, without them you are a nothing." Serena said, she thought he was cute but she thought he was too full of ego for her.

"As I said at the beginning of this tournament I only ever used my legendaries for those who asked, or for those who were strong enough. I won most of my battles with my pokemon that were not legendary." Ash said with a smiled as shock overcame their faces.

"Your lying!" Cilan yelled at them.

"You are the ones deluding yourselves into believing what you want to, we have done nothing to you, so leave us alone." Paul said.

"And you two shock us the most, we are friends, why are sticking with him?" Misty said, staring at Gary.

"We haven't been your friends for a long time, not after what you did." Gary said as he moved closer to Alain and grabbing his hand.

"He was weak, we should have done that a long time ago." Iris said, with a sneer.

"He was and is the strongest trainer I have ever known, even the champion himself said that Ash is the most powerful he has ever faced and he has faced everyone of importance." Latias said stepping up for her husband, though they did not know that.

"Who even are you? And who are the other two?" Brock sneered.

"That is Melody, Red's wife and that is Alain, Gary's boyfriend." Max said.

"And that is Chase formally the Altomare Ace and Paul's boyfriend." Bonnie said. Caroline and Norman had gone into their room for some time together.

"Hey I know you!" Serena said pointing to Alain.

"You were the one that teamed up with that organisation that was going to take over the world!" Clemont finished.

"What are you doing with someone so evil Gary? What has he done to you, your not even gay?" Misty said. She wanted the man for herself, even more so now that he was an elite.

"You do not know me at all then, you only ever saw me when you were travelling and you only saw the body and power, not me. You were not in love with me, you were feeling lust. I have known I was gay since I was young, which is why I never had anything with a woman." Gary explained.

"And you Paul, why are you with him when you can have the queen of contests?" Dawn asked Paul. She thought Paul was the hottest thing on two legs and she wanted him even more now that he was being more recognised.

"Because I love him. I figured out you liked my body a long time ago Dawn, just like with Misty and Gary you lust after me not love me. I also knew I was gay when I was young too, I have never felt anything for a woman." Paul said.

"Now leave us alone, we have done nothing to you and we don't want anything to do with you." Bonnie and Max said together, not wanting to be around the group any more.

"Fine we will go for now." The group then walked of.

"Why can't they get the hint and go away, we don't want anything to do with them and we are not bothering them in anyway." Bonnie whines. Seeing her big brother and the group that hurt them made her very angry, and she did not want to be angry on one of Ash's biggest and important times.

"We just ignore them gang, they will hopefully get the hint and leave us alone. Now come on guys lets forget about them and have some fun." Ash said earning a cheer from his family.

"Yeah!" They all yelled.

After they had all of their battles for that day out of the way, as they all had their battles in the morning that day, they spent the afternoon together as a family, and there was one thing that made it even more special.

They were not bothered once.

(Sorry for the short chapter but this was just something to separate the battles. Thank you for reading!)
