A Centuries Redemption (Continue from Fanfiction.net)

Arrived at the Centuries Cup (Partly Reveal)

Time Skip; Centuries Cup

A hooded man walked into a crowded town center. Not many people, or Pokemon for that matter, noticed him. He shifted his slightly to get a view of the whole place. The fountain at the center was extremely extravagant an had a Gyarados spouting water everywhere. Stands with venders selling anything they could find, lined the streets. An air blimp was flying over overhead with the word 'Welcome to the Centuries Cup' plastered across it. Street lamps had banners that had the words 'Centuries Cup', while others had pictures of the Elite Four and their respective Champions. The Kanto banner had just been put up and murmurs of surprise rippled through out the crowd. The Kanto banner had pictures of the Elite Four, Sabrina, Koga, Maylene, and Karen. This was not what was surprising. The Champions picture was a grey silhouette that had, in gold words, 'To be announced at the Ceremonies' written across the silhouette. The man chuckled at the banner. 'It's always like Goodshaw to have the public waiting in anticipation'. Overall it had a pretty jovial atmosphere.

The man himself, as you may have guessed, was Red Satoshi, formerly Ash Ketchum. He was dressed in a simple grey cloak that had an insignia over Red's heart. Only a select few would recognize the insignia. Said insignia was a patch in the shape of a stereotypical police badge. It had a heart in the center that was surrounded a blue glow and layered over the heart was an open book, also surrounded by a blue glow. The book was placed lower so one could see about half of the heart. Below the book were two crossed swords, once again, surrounded by a blue glow, but this time the glow resembled more of a fire. Other than the cloak the man had a standard traveling bag and black shoes. Underneath the cloak was a belt holding eight Pokeballs, a Champions limit and 6 Luxury ball hanging in his necklace(contains Legendaries) . Red was wearing a skin tight black Under Armor shirt that highlighted his toned muscles from years of physical training. He also had black slacks on. This was in the cloak ever revealed his body, there would be nothing to see. Said cloak also covered this mans face entirely, leaving and mysterious and strong air around him. Needless to say, you don't want to make him angry.

He walked silently through the crowd, who wasn't even sparing him a glance. He was making his way through the maze of endless people and vendors. A few minutes later , he got where he was going, the Pokemon Center, heaven for injured Pokemon and a dark haired breeder alike. "Hello, do you need to register for the tournament?" asked a pink haired nurse, not even looking up her paperwork. Ash thought for a second, then replied in a husky voice "No thank you, I would just like to rent a room." The voice startled Nurse joy and eventually let her look up at the voices owner. She was blushing, abet barely, when she heard the voice. "O...ook, that'll be..ee 50 Poke please" she squeaked out between the blush. The blushing nurse, something a dark haired breeder would like to see, finally got control of herself. That progress was all whisked away when their hands accidentally touched when exchanging the money.

"Here are your keys sir". Nurse Joy dropped the keys in his hand before running in the back claiming there was an injured Growthie in the back she had to check up on. Red stood there chuckling to himself for a while because it had seemed his affect on the opposite sex had only grown in his time away, Nurse Joy hadn't even seen his face and she was blushing. Red eventually shook himself from his train of thought to go to his room and get some rest for the long day ahead.

Time Skip; Champions Meeting Room.

There was a lot of commotion regarding the new Champion that no one had even heard of. Elite four and Champions alike were trying to figure out who the new Champion was. Needless to say everyone was stumped except a certain blonde Champion that was trying very hard not to let anything slip, which was very hard considering everyone around you was talking about this man.

There was a small creak at the door that abruptly stopped all the conversation in the room. President Goodshow stepped into the room accompanied by a hooded figure that had an air of mystery and strength around them. Everyone's eyes fell on the hooded figure who was ushered to a stage with in the gigantic ballroom. "Well everyone, today we have a new member, Red Satoshi, Champion of Kanto". "But, I don't remember him challenging us!" shouted Karen. "What makes him Champion?!". "Simple" stated Goodshaw. "He took the Champions Challenge". Everyone gasped, you see, Cynthia was the only Champion in history to claim the Champions Title through the Champions Challenge. The Champions Challenge was brutal, you faced two Champions, of your choice, on a 2v1 battle. It was insanely hard, and Cynthia came out with a draw, making her Champion and Diantha became champion by taking champion's challenge by draw against two champions making her and Cynthia the strongest among the champions. Furthermore, the Champions Challenge was only open when there was an open seat in the Champions position, like in Kanto, who hasn't had a proper Champion in 15 years.
