That's Not Good

" Ugh.....everything hurts " Gary complained.

" Same " Alain said.

" I can't really remember what happened last night, can anyone else? " Serena asked.

" Nope " Clemont sighed.

" Well thats a shame, isn't it " Ash yawned.

" Let me guess you remember, don't you. " Paul questioned.

" ... " Ash didn't bother to reply.

" Well what happened?! " Bonnie asked him.

" Besides having to pay for damage, not much " he smirked.

" Well how come you remember but we don't- " Sawyer tried to ask but was cut off.

" Never mind about what happened yesterday, today you guys have some battles " Ash informed them

" Right.. " With that the others  walked off to the stadium that their battles were taking place in.

" So what are we gonna do? " Serena asked.

" Well since we don't have to battle, I guess we could just watch the others battle. " Ash suggested.

" Ok, sound good "

" But first.. " He said and pointed to the left of them.

A girl with brown hair, a pink shirt and blue shorts, was running at them.

" Hey Serena, Ash. Its been awhile " she said.

" It sure has, its nice to see you again, Shauna " Serena replied.

" I got a break from doing performances, so I decided to visit you all " Shauna excitedly cheered.

" Great, Ash and I were just on our way to watch the battles, did you wanna come with us? "

" Sounds like fun! "

With that the group of three made their way to the stadium that Bonnie would be battling in.

An hour later

" This is so boring " Ash groaned.

All the battles that they had to watch for an hour, only lasted around five minutes and didn't have much action in them.

" Cheer up, Bonnie is up next " Shauna commented.

" Look there she is! " Serena exclaimed while pointing down at one end of the battle field.

Bonnie stood at her side of the battle field, she already had a pokeball in her hand ready to go.

Her opponent.....well......yeah...

" I LOVE YOU SERENA! " Her opponent shouted.

Ash looked at the board that had both trainers names on it. One side said Bonnie and the other one said Calem.

Serena only sweat dropped and turned back to Shauna and started chatting with her.

Bonnie glanced up at Ash, then to Calem, then back at Ash. He knew what she was asking so he just gave her a small nod. With that an evil smirked appeared on the girl's face.

Needless to say, Bonnie beat the his Pokemon team with no time wasted.

After watching everyone's victory in their battles, the group deciding to head back to their rooms. On the way Ash decided to make a quick stop and check on how his old friends did, they all successfully make it past the first round.

Ash's POV

Beep,beep

I glanced down at my watch which was flashing a bright red. That's not good.

" I'll be right back. " I informed the other who were waiting for me in the lobby.

" Where are you going? " Bonnie asked

"Just something I forgot to do. " I reassured her

" Ok, we'll see you later then. " Barry said

With that I quickly made my way out the front doors and around to the back of the building. After I checked there was no one else here but me I rapidly pressed some buttons on the side of the watch. A bright blue light emitted from the screen and surrounded me, I couldn't see behind the light but when it began to die down I took in my surrounding.

I was in the laboratory, it was in the second dimension that Mewtwo had made for me. All the walls were white with beakers and burners placed on the tables around the room. As I got closer to the other end I heard someone nervously pacing back and forth while fiddling with some papers.

" Clayton " I said as I walked in from behind a bookshelf.

" There you are! " He exclaimed.

" Whats going on? " I asked.

Clayton was a friend I made a only 4 weeks after I arrived in Kalos. For the longest time he was trapped in a team flare laboratory along with his two other siblings. Team flare had made him a hybrid, half Lucario, half human. They planned to use him in one of their plans although some of their calculations in mind control were off and he was able to escape. He and Pikachu became friends very quick mostly because of their absolute addiction to ketchup, although this did cause some..... complications as well. Clayton didn't really have anywhere to go, so I brought him here and gave him his own lab. From all that time watching scientists and from all their tests he gained the knowledge and ability to perform well in creating useful pieces of technology. I haven't caught him but he stays here and works on a way to find and get back his siblings. He also has an interesting choice of fashion as he wears a rainbow coat and a rainbow lab coat when he's experimenting.

" I was watching the activity of the people and on the outskirts of this town, Team flare grunts are setting up some sort of machine. " Clayton informed me while looking for something on a tablet.

" Can you guess what it would be? "

" I know what it is, but its not exactly good " He showed me a picture of the machine they were setting up.

" So are you gonna tell me or keep me in suspense for an hour? " I asked annoyed.

" This machine has all the factors of being able to properly perform mind control "

Like I said before, Clayton was suppose to be used for a mission Team flare had planned. What I didn't say was that they were looking to create an army, what they were doing when he escaped was only a test run to see just how much they could control their soldiers. They wanted to kill off the people of this world while keeping the chosen ones who would become the leaders for their new world. To start this world from zero and create the ideal world, that's their goal.

Now it seems they have perfected their invention, sadly for them my Pokemon and I are the only thing that stands in their way.
