The next day/POV: Ashlie

"Ah, today looks like it's gonna be great!" Dusk exclaimed, "Ashlie, you sleep good?"

"I sure did Dusk!" I giggled, "Thanks to my Pokemon that is!"

"So, what are we planning for today?" Peter asked, and Dusk shrugged.

"Well,we could train a bit!" Goomba suggested.

"Sounds good to me!" Chuster sighed.

Outside ten minutes later/POV: Darkrai

"Hey, it's the new trainer that we saw battle Gladion Aether!" We heard a female voice shout to us, "Is that you blonde girl?"

"Y-yeah..." Ashlie stuttered, "Can I help you with something?"

"Oh, well, we wanted to challenge you!" The male said, "I'm Cain, and this is Victoria!"

(Purlpe haired boy is Cain, and Victoria is the gray haired one!)

"Um, okay?" Ashlie sighed, "How about two Pokemon each?"

"We want it fair, you use four, we use two each!" Victoria exclaimed.

"Okay...but I did just beat old foes with three when they both used three, so be warned!" Ashlie sighed, "Saur and Fist, let's go!"

"Torracat, let's go!" Victoria shouted.

"Popplio, come on out!" Cain shouted.

Ashlie soon twisted her cap backwards, she might be taking this either seriously, or wanting to have fun.

"This might not end well!" I sighed, "Ashlie looks serious!"

"Charge up for Solar Beam!" Ashlie ordered, "Fist, use Aerial Ace on Torracat!"

"Use Icy Wind!" Cain ordered, "Now, Discharming Voice!"

"Use Fire Fang on Ivysaur!" Victoria ordered, "Then Lick!"

"Fist, get in the way of Fire Fang and use Counter!" Ashlie ordered, and Fist nodded and used the Fire Fang to one shot Torracat, "Saur, fire away!"

"On it!" Saur shouted, and he fired a Solar Beam that took out Popplio.

"Okay, Nidorino, it's up to you!" Cain shouted.

"Same with you, Ralts!" Victoria shouted.

"Okay, Fist, use Iron Head!" Ashlie shouted, "Take out that Ralts, he's the main threat here!"

"Confusion, then Magical Leaf!" Victoria pleaded.

"Use Poison Sting!" Cain shouted, and those took out Fist!

"Okay, Ninja, I want to battle with you once again!" Ashlie shouted, she's REALLY serious!

"Discharming Voice!" Victoria ordered.

"Sorry, we're not falling for that, use Aerial Ace!" Ashlie shouted, and Ralts got sent into the wall, "Now, Water Shuriken!"

"On it!"  Ninja shouted, and he threw the Water Shuriken.

"That's gotta hurt!" I grunted, and Goomba and Peter nodded.

"Ralts..." Ralts groaned with swirls in his eyes, and Ninja was surrounded by the Water Vortex, here it goes!

"Our bonds are stronger than before, let's go Ninja!" Ashlie shouted, "Use Water Shuriken!"

POV: Goh

Ninja threw one Water Shuriken, and Nidorino fainted.

"That was an amazing battle!" Cain chuckled, "But next time, I'll win!"

"I look forward to seeing that!" Ashlie giggled, and after the two kids left, we walked towards Ashlie.

"You did good kid!" Darkrai chuckled, then Ashlie picked up Chuster and set him on her shoulder.

Twenty feet away on the balcony/POV: Mallow

"Seems like she got really strong!" I whispered to my friend Lana, who nodded.

"And she has that OP Greninja, we need her to give up the Ash part of her, maybe she'll get better!"

"Not so fast you idiots!" We heard a male voice groan from behind, and we saw the winner of last year's Reborn League Tournament, and the one who defeated each Elite 4 member without having a single Pokemon faint once, but lost to Champion Dusk:

Goomba Daybreak, who's Ashlie's friend!

POV: Goomba

"Tell me, why did you betray and kill Ash and Lillie, along with Pikachu and Snowy in the first place you two?" I grunted at the girls, and they were scared, because according to what I heard, someone had spilled the beans that I had two Legendary and two Mythical Pokemon on my team!

"H-he held us b-back and Lillie stood up for him, despite him causing problems in Alola!" Lana whined, and I looked at their hearts, and they were still wondering if it was the right thing to do that to their friends.

"Alright, we're settling this!" I grunted, "Cinder!"

"Palpitoad, let's go!" Lana shouted, "Let's teach the weakling's mentor to not challenge us!"

"Sceptile, let's go!" Mallow shouted, "Let's show him who's boss!"

"Use Electro Ball on Sceptile, then Pyro Ball on Palpitoad!" I sighed, and despite not being very effective, it one shot both Pokemon, "Listen, it's not too late to turn back, just admit it, you only got to where you were because of Ash!"

"NEVER!" Both girls screamed, "He's weak!"

"Please girls, you can still redeem!" I pleaded, "Ashlie wouldn't have remembered how close you and Lillie were unless she sensed that you regretted it!"

"What makes you say that, you're just defending the weakling!" Mallow shouted, "Why do you care so much about them?!"

"Why? Because Ash Ketchum was the chosen one!" I shouted, "And attacking the Chosen One is an act against every Legendary Pokemon! Second, Ash was in love with Lillie secretly, I know that because Eternatus read his Aura when he passed Ash on a plane, and found out he truly loved Lillie, and considered the rest of you as his siblings, and that included Pokemon!"

"Wait, one of your Legendary Pokemon sensed that?" Lana questioned.

"Yep, cool right?" I chuckled, "Now look, we can still have a good ending for all of us, just please, stop denying that Ash is weak, you know deep down Ash isn't!"

"..." The girls didn't say anything, but looked angrier than before, I used my Aura, and unlike Gladion and Dawn, they did it by will, but they were having second thoughts on the betrayal, but not much with helping them regret it!

TO BE CONTINUED IN Alola Strike Back Part 2!

Now for some random Aureliashipping pics because I can!

I somewhat feel in awe with this one!
