"Welcome to Battle Cheteau" said the servant, opening the door to the huge hall and stood aside. Ash stared stunned at the large hall, which stood many people in suits. There were all the people of all ages, from young trainers to very old men and women leaning on a stick. Some wore different colors of capes and walked out of the hall through another door.
"So how does it work here?" Ash asked and looked to Clemont.
"In Battle Cheteau, you have same battles like normal battles or gym battles. For winning in Battle Chateau, you do not receive badges or anything like that, but you receive rank points that determine your rank in Battle Chateau." Clemont said.
"And what are the ranks here?" Ash asked looking at all people.
"There are six ranks and they all wear capes defining their positions. White for Baron and Baroness, the lowest rank. Blue for Viscount and Viscountess, green for Earl and Countess, yellow for Marquis and Marchioness, red for Duke and Duchess, and purple for Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, the highest rank." Lumiose gym leader said and pointed sometimes at some people, who wearing exactly the one, he was talking about.
"Do you have rank Clemont?" Serena asked and before Clemont replied, Bonnie answered for him.
"Clemont is Marquis, third highest rank." Bonnie shouted, making Clemont embarrassed.
"Wow, how many rank points do you have?" Kantonian asked.
"Only 100,. It's almost only minimun to have this rank." Clemont said with sad smile.
"But you are still Marquis and that count." Ash said with smile.
"Yeah, Ash is right." Serena joined to Ash.
"I guess you are right guys,"
"So how can I join into Battle Chateau?" Ash asked and servant came as if on call.
"If you wish to join Battle Chateau, please follow me."
"Awesome." Ash said and started to follow him, when he stopped and turned to others. "Serena, will you join us?"
"No, not this time. Maybe next time." Serena said with small smile.
"Ok, I hope you will join us next time." Ash said and left leaving Serena with small pink on her cheecks.

Ash came to others in white cape, with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"It suits you Ash." Serena said with admirination.
"Thank you." messy hair boy said scratching his cheek with finger.
"So, Ash. Do you plan to challenge someone?" Bonnie asked Ash, who just smiled.
"I already did, I am having battle in few minutes, so I am just gonna wait in waiting room." Ash said and pointed to door.
"So we will probably go find seats to sit there." Clemont said pointing to stands, where some people were waiting or coming.
"Ok, good luck Ash." honey-blond hair girl said with smile.
"Yeah good luck." Bonnie said waving her hands above her.
"Thanks. Let's go Pikachu." Ash said leaving others, who went to find seats.
When Ash entered waiting room, he found out, that there was bar with barman and few people waiting. Ash thought about to just sit on to the bar and wait for him to be call. As he was sitting there, he felt, that someone sat next to him. He looked to his right and saw a man in his 40s with orange hair and a beard that covered his entire chin. The man looked at him in surprise, but then just smiled,
