United Destiny: The Hero and The Hybrid

Chapter 18

The sun showed over them as Ash and Serena walked down the road on there way to Ash's next gym battle. Serena looked at the map as they walked remembering the first time she traveled down this path with Clemont and Bonnie. "You know there's a place we could visit while we are on our way to Cyllage City." Ash turned to her as she showed an image of a regal keep overlooking a small lake. "It's the Battle Chateau, I went there with Clemont and Bonnie during my first trip across this part of Kalos."

That brought a tingle of curiosity. "Really what is it like?" Apart of him was a bit excited by the places name Battle Chateau. In Sinnoh, he heard about something called a Battle Club from a few trainers during his travels and he wonders if this was similar.

"It's basically a Pokemon Battle club styled like that of the knights of Kalos past," Serena explained recalling her first time visiting it. "The use noble titles to gage one skill, though gym leaders, Champions, and former Champions along with anyone of note is given special status when they visit."

Hearing of visiting Champions and Gym Leaders was all Ash needed. "Alright, then I'm up for it." He wondered about possibly running into the Kaos Champion or maybe one of the gym leaders. Another question crossed his mind given that Serena had been there before. "So what title do you have?"

"Baroness, I didn't spend long enough at the Chateau to get anything higher than that." Serena closed her device as the two of them had something to do instead of just traveling through the wilds.

Pikachu's ears twitched as he looked beyond them. "I think I hear something." Soon after he said this a figured came skating right past them and landed in front of them. She was a girl probably little more than two or three years older than them. Her outfit consisted of a sports dress, rollerblades, athletic gloves, and a helmet which had two long bangs sticking out as the helmet couldn't hold in her rather long blonde hair. Landing next to her was a Lucario.

"Alright win number ninety..." She stopped her determined look turning into one of surprise as she saw who was in front of her. "No way you're the two that used Mega Evolution during the Sinnoh League!" She had a look of awe as she said this but quickly composed herself. "I challenge you both to a battle!"

There was a sudden pause as the girl's challenge was set in. "One on one, or is this a double battle?" Zoroark brought up a good point.

Ash decided to ask what she meant. "Both of us at the same time? Or you battle each of us separately?" The rollerblade girl realized she left her request quite vague when she just asked to battle them. She had a light blush of embarrassment. Ash, however, didn't really mind. "I'm up for either, what about you Serena?"

"Me either." Though she liked the thought of the two of them in a tag battle.

"I was thinking one on one." She pulled herself away from her embarrassment replacing it with the same determinant look she had just before. She looked at her Lucario. "Alright let's go for win ninety-nine, and one hundred!"

Her Lucario was in agreement at this. "Alright!"

However, both they could the sound of a stomach rumbling caught Ash's attention as it was coming from himself. "Ah mind if we have lunch first?"

The girl looked before she felt a rumble in her stomach causing her to blush a bit. "Yeah, I could use some lunch."

Serena turned to Audino. "Looks like we're having a guest for lunch."

A bit later the group was having lunch with the girl. Korrina as she introduced herself to the group. Ash caught sight of the marble-like object in her left glove the similar DNA shape within it confirming what he suspected it of being. "You have a pokemon capable of Mega Evolution?"
