POV: Iris

That little brat is back?! Welp, time to make sure Ash is done with his stupid dream for good, by making this blonde girl lose her will to go farther!

"Well if it isn't the weakling!" I laughed, "You ready to see how weak you are once and for all?"

"Not like that'll work!" Ashlie grunted, "Since I'm made of two souls, I have a lot of strength in this tiny body, and willpower, Dracovish!"

"Dragonite!" I shouted, "Let's take this kid down!"

"Absol, you too!" Serena shouted.

"Wartortle, you come out as well!" May shouted

"Okay, you want to play like that?" The purple haired girl shouted, "We're in this as well!"

"Chloe, Goh, I want you out of this!" Ashlie exclaimed, "I have enough bond with my Pokemon to handle this myself, Saur, Dragonite, I choose you two as well!" The pathetic catchphrase...

"Wartortle, use Ice Beam on Ivysaur!" May shouted.

"Hurricane Dragonite!" Ashlie stated, and I ordered Hurricane as well, "Fishous Rend, Dracovish!"

"Fishous what?" Serena exclaimed, and it took out Absol in a matter of seconds, "WHAT?!"

"Saur, use Energy Ball on Wartortle!" Ashlie shouted, and it nearly took out May's Water Type, "Dragonite, Dragon Dance!"

"Use Ice Beam, quickly!" May pleaded, "We can't lose to a weakling!"

"Dragon Pulse!" I grunted, but Dragonite dodged both moves easily, "HOW?!"

"Dragonite, use Hyper Beam on the other Dragonite!" Ashlie shouted in confidence, "Saur, use Sludge Bomb at Wartortle!" Both moves were too much, and both Wartortle and Dragonite fainted.

"How did we lose.....?" I muttered, I can't believe I just lost to ASH!

"I have Ash's unique strategies, and Lillie's smart mind, so I can come up with a lot of plans!" Ashlie grunted.

"Whatever, you're only strong because you had the champions of Reborn and Torrent train you!" May shouted, "You're weak, and you know it! You held us back, and put our lives in danger multiple times!"

"HEY!" We heard a voice, and it was Gladion, but we looked at Ashlie, who was having a look of shock on her face.

"Oh look, the big brother's here to protect his weak and disaster magnet sister!" I laughed, "Why even bother, Ash was dangerous, and Lillie was a weakling for four years!" We looked at Ashlie, who was staring at the floor, but then we saw that Goh, Chloe, and Gladion were beyond p****d!

Two hours before the Contest/POV: Chloe

"Ashlie, please, talk to us..." I begged, but she looked away, "Ashlie, you are not weak, you hear me?! You're just as good as a champion!"

"..." Ashlie stayed quiet.

"This is really bad..." Dusk sighed, ", those three mocking her probably made her regain memories, and caused her to lose some of her will..."

"I think it's worse!" Darkrai grunted, and Goomba and Zizzy nodded.

"He's right!" Goomba stated, "Ashlie's will, and personallity might be totally broken after that!

"I got an idea..." Gladion sighed, ", sis, look at me!" Ashlie looked at her brother with tears in her eyes.

"What is it Gladion?" She groaned, and Gladion hugged her.

"I know you're in a lot of pain right now," Gladion stated, ", but, to be honest, you're one of the strongest trainers I know!"

"Name one reason besides me training with champions and super strong trainers that makes me strong!" Ashlie grunted, and Gladion smiled.

"Ash was the first one to ever defeat Silvally fairly!" Gladion stated, "Not only that, you and Chuster literally took him out with ease, also, you have the biggest heart out of everyone I met!" Ashlie's eyes were wide open, then she smiled and stopped crying.

"Thank you Gladion!" Ashlie giggled, "Okay, let's show the world what I'm made of!"

Twenty minutes before Ashlie went to get ready for the contest/ POV: Lusamine

I'm finally seeing my old daughter again, with the living! I'm so worried that she won't come back to considering her mother, but it's her choices.

"Mother, over here!" I heard Gladion shout to me, and I saw him holding hands with a girl with blonde hair, must be 'Ashlie'!

"My children!" I cried, and I hugged both of them, "Lillie, or I guess Ashlie, I'm sorry you had to endure that tragedy you went through!"

"It's fine." Ashlie giggled, "Also, if you don't mind, I'd really like it to consider you mother, okay?" I was crying that she wanted to be my daughter again.

"Of course sweetie!" I giggled while crying, "Come here darling!" I squeezed her tightly, and she hugged me back as well.

"So, I'm going to take part in the Pokemon Contest!" Ashlie stated, "You want to cheer me on?" I nodded, and she went inside the locker rooms, "Wish me luck!"

"You got this Lillie!" The Reborn Champion shouted to Ashlie as she walked into the room with Chuster her Pikachu.

In the girl locker room/ POV: Ashlie

"You need to be reminded of who's the weakling?" May snarled at me, and I glared at her, that's when Dawn showed up.

"She'll show you who's weak in the Contest May!" Dawn shouted, "Right Ashlie?"

"Yep, and I have Chuster, Aura, and Blaze by my side!" I giggled, "You better be ready May, and Serena should as well!"
