Chapter 30 - chapter 30

It was a boisterous and sunny day for Laverre City. The area was abuzz for the annual Fairy Festival. The goal of this occasion was to thank the fairy Pokémon who had helped shape the foundation of their city. Ash, Bonnie, Clemont, and Korrina had arrived to the city's Pokémon Center the night before and had awaken with fresh legs and excitement.

"I can't believe we get to see the festival up-close and in person" squealed Bonnie. The girl had always watched the festival on television, but their family could never afford to travel to the city for the occasion.

"Bonnie, you have to calm down before you bump into someone." exclaimed her brother. The young man tried to wrangle his sister in, but the young girl merely giggled and kept running around the Pokémon Center.

Serena giggled, "If I were any younger, I'd be doing the same thing". Ash looked over and asked what kind of events happened at the festival.

"Well, most of the festival involves pokemon and their trainers competing in a variety of non-battle events." explained Clemont.

"Sounds fun!" chuckled Ash, "I have a little experience doing similar things when I traveled through the Orange Islands".

"Don't forget about the coronation." spoke Bonnie cutting back into the conversation.

"Coronation"?

Clemont sighed, having to explain was such a chore., "At the end of the festival the best Man and Woman trainer are crowned King and Queen of the festival". He went on to explain that the pair would close out the festival with a dance in front of city hall and receive special pokeballs from the factory.

Serena's ears perked up hearing this. "If I can become the queen then maybe I could reveal my feelings to Ash".

While her mind raced, Ash was thinking about what kind of challenges his Pokémon would have to compete in. The group finished their breakfast and began making their way towards city hall. The hall was located next door to the Pokeball Factory and was currently crowded with festival attendees. As the travelers got closer, they saw a middle-aged man take to the podium on stage. After checking to make sure the mic was working, he began to speak.

"Welcome one and all to the 136th Fairy Festival". Chants of excitement reverberated from the crowd. "There will be four competitions this year for our festival combatants to partake in". "Sign-ups for the events are located inside of the factory, so our combatants may head over there once we are done here". A loud horn sounded, signaling the start of the festival. The crowd began to disperse with about half of it heading to the Pokeball Factory in order to sign up. The group of four followed, reaching a table.

"Hi." spoke Ash, "I'm here to sign up for the festival". The lady across from him allowed the young man to quickly sign up. Turning to his right he saw that both Serena and Clemont were signing up as well. "I'm surprised the two of you are signing up".

"I'm feeling a bit more confident after our battle so why not." chuckled the blonde.

On the other hand, Serena stuttered through an answer saying that she needed a break from her performances and that the festival was a perfect opportunity to do so. Ash shrugged and the travelers headed out to the first competition. It was an obstacle course that had to be run by a Pokémon as well as their trainer. The group sighed and began waiting in line for their turn. While this happened, they began going over which Pokémon they were going to use. Clemont had decided Luxray would be ideal due to its size and speed. Ash followed suit with Hawlucha, while Serena chose Pancham. Eventually the trio had their own turns at the course. Their times were not told to them per festival rules. This was to create suspense during the Monarch reveal at the end of the festival.

"Afterall," spoke the chairman "We want our coronations to be grande".

The next two events were a target match which required a Pokémon to knock down a set of targets in a certain amount of time. Scores were based not only on the fastest time but also where the target was contacted. Ash had of course chosen Greninja, while his friends chose Braxien and Chespin. The Pallet Town native felt that he and Greninja had dominated the event, knocking out all of the targets in around 12 seconds with Water Shuriken.

There was a two-hour break before the next two events, so he had decided to separate from his friends and catch some air. Alone by one of the fountains with Pikachu, Ash took several deep breaths as he began to meditate. Suddenly he heard a feminine voice call his name.

"Ash it's been so long." the voice said.

Ash opened his eyes and saw the source of the commotion. "No way, Valerie?" exclaimed the trainer.

"Yup, it's been too long, how are you?" Pikachu jumped into the woman's arms, excitedly rubbing up against her. "Well at least someone is happy to see me." laughed the woman.

"I'm excited, just shocked." spoke Ash. "What are you doing here"?

"I live here now silly. I moved after the Sinnoh League".

The young man took a minute to reminisce. The pair had met during Ash's time in Johto. A native of Ecruteak City, Valerie had helped him stop Team Rocket from stealing the crystal bells of Tin Tower. The young lady would meet up with them again during the Johto League, with Valerie losing the same round as Ash. After separating, their paths would cross again as Valerie was invited to challenge the Battle Frontier the same time as Ash. She would also join the groups journey through Sinnoh and compete in the league there as well. It was then she split from the group, telling Ash that she needed to be on her own for a while.

Rubbing the back of his head sheepishly, Ash barely asked the woman how she had been. Valerie explained that she was great and was competing in the festival. "Are you competing in the Kalos League"?

"Yeah, I currently have five badges and was hoping to challenge the gym here after the festival".

The young lady let out a small laugh before speaking. "I've heard the gym leader is super tough so you might be in for a difficult battle".

Before Ash could respond, Clemont's voice rang out. "There you are. We've been looking all over for you". The blonde came over gasping for breath while his sister and friend followed.

"I went to meditate and ran into an old friend" he explained, motioning his arm over to the woman. "Meet Valerie, we met when I was in the Johto region, and she traveled with me through Sinnoh".

Clemont was about to say something but was silenced by a quick glare from the newcomer. While the blonde struggled to say something, his sister went over to greet Valerie who Dedenne immediately took a liking towards. While the electric-fairy type crawled around, no one else noticed Serena sending nasty looks at the newcomer.

"She better stay away from Ash." Other dark and fearful thoughts entered the young lady's mind, but she put them side for the moment and adopted a fake smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you Valerie, I'm Serena". The pair shook hands and stared into eacher other's eyes. "I'm not going to let you take Ash from me you bitch." thought Serena.

"Well, it appears I might have some competition" Valerie contemplated.

An announcement for the next festival event rang through the loudspeakers, preventing the situation from escalating any further. The event in question was Knowledge Test designed to see how much they knew about Pokémon biology. Ash felt like he crushed it, having spent his childhood at Professor Oak's lab and more recently brainstorming with Gary. The group again met up with Valerie who had now revealed that she also was in the festival competition. This doused the smoldering fire of Serena's jealousy with gasoline. The young lady knew now that she had to win the Festival Queen to impress the one, she loved. As the afternoon started to turn into early evening, the final event began. The event was going to be a contest battle against an opponent.

"This is perfect" exclaimed Serena, "I can use my showcase skills to deflate that girl's hopes and stake my claim on Ash".

Unfortunately, she never got the chance. Team Rocket had broken into the Pokeball Factory and had tried getting away with stealing a shipment of exotic pokeballs. The group had put a stop to it, with Valerie causing the villainous trio to practically wet themselves as she gave them flashbacks to their times fighting each other in Sinnoh. However when the dust cleared the contest stage was destroyed, leaving the festival organizers no choice but to cancel the last event much to the disappointment of many attendees. "Now,

Now" began the chairman. "We still have collected enough data from the other three events to crown our Festival King and Queen.

Two large screens were projected against City Hall's walls. The screens both had a list of fives names. The first was a list of five male trainers, the second list was for females. Ash name was among the males, and Serena's among the females. However the woman let out a small growl as she noticed Valerie's name was among the list as well.

"Now these names are not in the order they finished in in order to build suspense". The chairman slowly began to put the male list in order. The traveling group watched with bated breath as Ash was one of the final two names left. "And now" the chairman paused, knowing the entire crowd was waiting on every word. "The King of the festival is.", another pause. "Ash Ketchum"!

Polite cheers came from the crowd, as Ash began walking to the stage. Reaching the podium, the chairman congratulated him and told him to sit in the makeshift throne that had been wheeled onto the City Hall steps. The young man took a seat on the throne and allowed a crown to be placed on his head. It didn't weigh much, probably around 3 pounds, allowing the young man to relax in his new position. The chairman turned back to face the crowd and spoke once more. "Now for the queen".

Serena's eyes were glued to the screen, hoping that her name would be the one to appear at the top. 5th lace came and went with one of the unknown girls as did 4th. Valerie sucked in a breath and watched a 3rd place was announced. Once again, it was someone they didn't know. That meant that the top two female scorers for the festival were her and Serena. Both women were so nervous, all the sound around them seemed to dissipate into silence.

Then the chairman spoke the fabled words. "The queen of this year's festival is Valerie".

Cheers exploded from the audience but there was one person who was not cheering. Serena had tears coming down her face. "Maybe he only sees her as a friend." she tried coping with the situation. Everyone watched as Valerie strode up to the City Hall steps, her body swaying as she did so. Bowing before the Chairman, a crown was placed on the woman's head who then took the seat next to Ash. "And there you have it." the elderly man spoke. "Our king and queen of the Fairy Festival". More applause rang out as the chairman handed both trainers their special pokeballs. Although they weren't Masterballs, these spheres would increase the likelihood of catching a Pokémon ten-fold. An excellent addition to any trainer's repertoire. "Now there is one thing left to do before the festival concludes". Another pause took over the crowd. "Our King and Queen must bless us with a dance".

Ash gulped "A dance?". He hated formal dancing; not because he wasn't good at it, no Ash was quite gifted. He hated it because he didn't like other people judging him. An elbow to his side got the young man's attention.

Valerie leaned over to him and whispered. "Relax and just look into my eyes".

Ash nodded in response as they rose from their 'thrones'. He had forgotten that Valerie was a good dancer too and that this would not be the first time they would partner for such an occasion. The pair had danced together during the both the Johto and Sinnoh League ball, so Ash felt comfortable with Valerie doing this. Both trainers took their positions on the City Hall stage as a spotlight illuminated them. Taking a deep breath, Ash looked directly into Valerie's eyes and waited for the music to start. As soon as the first note hit his ear Ash began moving. The pair danced as if they were one. Serena watched with jealousy as the king and queen acted with grace befitting their titles. "Left, right, dip, underhook." the steps drilled in Ash's mind as he performed with his partner. Valerie followed suit, impressing all those who watched. Eventually the music came to a halt, the pair striking a pose. Their faces inches away from one another, the audience exploded in cheers at the duo's performance. Seemingly forgetting where she was, Valerie leaned forward and placed a kiss on Ash's lips. Although brief, the action made everyone cheer even louder. Well, everyone except for Serena and Bonnie.

The little girl watched as tears fell from the woman's eyes. She knew how much her friend liked Ash and couldn't even imagine what she was going through. The young lady bolted from the scene, clearly overwhelmed by what had happened. Bonnie went to run after her but was stopped by other people in the crowd converging together. "And that," the voice of the chairman rang out, grabbing the attention of everyone. "Concludes this year's Fairy Festival".

The sky lit up with fireworks, painting the dark atmosphere bright with color. Everyone cheered once more as the event ended and the king and queen were led off the stage. It didn't take too long for Ash and Valerie to find the siblings.

"I can't believe I won the festival." laughed Ash, rubbing the back of his head.

"We both did." Valerie added, grabbing the young man's hand in her own.

Clemont shook his head at the sight. "It's getting late" he sighed, "we should probably head back to the pokecenter".

"Besides you're going to the gym tomorrow." added Bonnie.

Ash was about to ask where Serena went when he was pulled aside by Valerie. "Ash, could you walk me home?" she asked.

The young man nodded and told the siblings that he would see them back at their room. The four them separated with Pikachu riding on Valerie's shoulder. The city streets were still bright from the festival. Lights hung from every building, giving Ash the impression that they were in an enchanted land.

"So how far away do you live?" the trainer asked.

"Only about 15 minutes away." came the response.

Ash really wanted to ask why Valerie had kissed him on the stage. Sure, they had been close while traveling together, but Ash never thought the girl liked him like that. As they continued to walk, the young man decided to bring it up. "We need to talk about what happened".

Valerie turned her head "what do you mean"?

"Why did you kiss me?"

The young lady sighed and reached up to pet Pikachu. The electric type leaned into her touch as she stroked his soft fur. "I like you Ash, I like you a lot". Ash listened as Valerie went on to explain how she had a small crush on him in Johto and how that crush blossomed into full-blown love when they met up again in Sinnoh.

"I didn't know you felt that way about me." he whispered.

"I didn't work up the courage to tell you until today when I had no other choice". Ash was about to ask what she meant by that when the duo came across the city's gym. Valerie stopped at the entrance and turned to face the young man. Well, this is my stop".

Ash couldn't believe it, "You're the gym leader". The young lady nodded and wanted Ash's answer regarding her feelings. However, as he was about to speak, she cut him off.

"Come at 6AM tomorrow morning and talk with me then". She then added that they would have their battle at noon if he still felt up to it.

Ash watched in silence and appreciation as the young lady retreated through the doors of the gym. Now left alone with his partner, Ash and Pikachu made their way back to the Pokémon center. As he got to his room the young man saw that Clemont was getting ready for bed. "My gym battle is going to be at noon tomorrow" he told the blonde. "I'll be up early so don't wait for me for breakfast".

Although both men were soon sound asleep their companions were currently having an important chat. Bonnie was currently trying to give Serena a pep-talk regarding her competition for Ash. "Serena, you have to confess tomorrow before it's too late" the young girl pleaded. Her friend was currently crying. Witnessing her crush being kissed by another woman drained a lot of her courage. "The only way to get him is to show up Valerie tomorrow".

"What do you suggest I do" she asked, tears beginning to dry up. "

You go out there and kiss him senseless. Kiss him so much that he forgets all about the Fairy Queen".

Serena hummed "That might just work.", a smile creeping on her face.

"That's the spirit".

5:30 AM

Serena had been woken up by her watch. She had set it for this time because Ash usually left for his early morning workout at 5:45. Yawning, she stretched and got into a fresh set of clothes. "Today's the day I confess" she said to herself, opening the door of her room. Poking her head around the corner, she saw Ash leave down the stairwell. A sense of urgency washed over her, causing the young lady too take off after him in a sprint.

Ash had begun his workout and was sprinting out of the center. Serena followed at a distance trying to catch up and was unable to call out to him as the young man had his headphones on. After ten minutes of harsh exercise, he came to a stop outside of the City's gym. Serena came to a halt and leaned up against a tree trying to catch her breath. "Why is he at the gym this early? I thought his battle wasn't until noon"?

The woman watched Ash enter through the sliding glass doors and made the decision to go in after her crush. As soon as she went through the doors the floor fell out from under her. Serena screamed as she began sliding down a steep decline. Everything around was pitch black and she came to a stop on what felt like wet grass. "Where am I?" she asked herself looking around in what was now pitch-black darkness. The young lady didn't understand. She had entered the gym no more than a minute after Ash and didn't see any sign of her crush. Her vision being obscured certainly didn't help the situation, but Serena got off the ground and began to wander. After just three steps a pink light began glowing off to her left. It was very faint, and her eyes struggled to make out what was causing it. Sensing no other option, she made her way over to the source. Ash she got closer the young lady reached out only to be blasted in the face by a hypnosis attack. "No I have to tell Ash" she yawned. The young lady couldn't fight off such a strong attack and instead slipped into unconscious. The lights in the room turned on to reveal a Gardevoir. The Psychic-Fairy lifted her victim up with its powers and carried her out of the room.

With Ash

Ash had entered the pitch-black gym and immediately felt the ground move underneath him. The young man wobbled but was able to remain upright as he felt himself being carried along the floor. This only lasted 10 seconds as he was dropped off in lit room which appeared to be a kitchen. It was there Valerie was waiting for him. "Interesting Gym design Valerie." he grunted, getting himself off the floor. "What is its purpose"?

"It's supposed to be a doll house". Ash's head turned to the side as he waited for her to elaborate. Valerie went on to explain how the rooms could be configured in any orientation. "This allows my Pokémon different environments to train their powers". Ash nodded in understanding. "Now," she motioned to him with her hand. "Why don't we take this somewhere more private".

The young man smiled and followed his friend to the other side of kitchen where an electric panel was located. He watched as Valerie pressed a button labeled 'Bed' and heard a bunch of gears turning. The room began to move slightly and came to a stop after 5 seconds when a door popped up where Ash had previously stood. The young lady grasped the man's hand and led him through the new entrance.

With Serena

The Honey-blonde shook her head as she awoke from her forced slumber. "Where am I" she asked aloud. The young lady tried to move only to realize she was trapped in what appeared to be a glass box. Panicking, she tried banging on the glass only for nothing to happen. She was about to reach into her pocket and grab a pokeball when the glass panel in front of her lit up and she saw into some sort of bedroom. The door to the bedroom was pushed open and Serena watched in horror as Valerie led Ash into the room. She could hear the young lady confess her feelings to the Kanto native. "NOOOO" yelled the blonde. Serena started banging against the glass, but no sound came. Serena could hear them, but they couldn't hear her. She couldn't do anything to stop the interaction no matter how much she wanted to.

With Ash and Valerie

The young man couldn't believe what had been said. Valerie truly liked him an wanted to be more than just friends. "Val" he whispered, "I don't know what…". "Shush." Ash was cut off as the young lady placed a finger on his lips. "You don't have to say anything." she whispered. "Let me show you". The gym leader slowly began to strip herself of her kimono. Ash blushed but his hands were grabbed by Valerie who guided them to his jeans. "I can't be the only one stripping here". Ash gulped and followed suit, removing his pants and shirt with relative ease. The young man looked up to see his partner now completely naked. Her black hair cascaded down her back allowing his attention to be drawn to her curves. "No staring Mr." she laughed, grabbing his chin in her hands, and forcing the young man to look her in the eyes. "You can't look at me until after we get those boxers off.

With Serena

The trapped woman watched in both horror and fascination as her desire of interest removed the last article of clothing he had. "Arceus Ash." she cried. Serena could only watch in despair as she looked over at Ash's naked form. His cock was massive, and his muscular form seemed to dominate the space he was in. How she longed to be embraced by him. Of course, this only drove her into another fit of rage at her predicament.

With Ash and Valerie

His groin now free of its confines, Ash was finally able to look at the naked form of the woman who loved him. To his eyes Valerie was breathtaking. Every inch of her body seemed to glow in the room's light. Without even thinking he lunged forward and began kissing the gym leader. Taken by surprise, Valerie couldn't stop Ash from forcing his tongue into her mouth. Their oral appendages intertwined as Ash tried to steer them towards the bed. "Not so fast" thought Valerie.

The young lady inched her body away from cot. Ash followed her lead and the two of them continued to battle. By the time they broke apart the pair were now in front of the rooms full-body mirror. Ash gasped for breath, gulping down air as saliva dripped from his mouth as Valerie experienced something similar. "That was the first time I've ever done something like that." she admitted. Ash answered that it was the same for him. "Are you interested in going any farther?" she asked, leaning her back against the mirror with a knowing smirk.

"If we do, wouldn't we be late for our battle" questioned Ash rather sheepishly.

"Oh Ash" she sighed. "We can delay our battle for as long as we want". The young man gulped and felt blood flow to his nether region.

"Will you let me touch you"? Ash's question elicited a smile from the young woman who grabbed ahold of his hands with her own. He watched as she guided them to her breasts.

"Of course." she whispered, allowing the trainer to squeeze the sensitive mounds. T

he long lady let out a soft moan as Ash played with her breasts. Leaning forward, the pair began to make out once more. The man left small bites on Valerie's neck as he pinched her nipples. "Oh Ash!" she cried out. The trainer removed one of his hands from the woman's sensitive mounds and reached lower. The young lady let out a squeak as she felt a finger rub up against her folds. The digit was soon soaked with fluids as it began pumping in and out of the lady's core. Moans soon came out of the woman's mouth and only grew louder as the finger moved faster. Getting an idea, Ash flicked his index finger upward and hit Valerie's nub. She cried out in pleasure as her orgasm washed over her. Valerie's legs began to crumble but Ash caught her before she could fall. "How did that feel?" he asked. Valerie took a few moments to catch her breath, finally getting over the experience. "It was great my love". Ash was about to respond when he felt a hand grab ahold of his member. "But you deserve some attention too". Before the trainer could say anything, he felt his dick being stroked with feather-light touches. Now Ash knew he had a large dick but seeing the shocked look on his lover's face filled him with pride. Valerie gulped in worry as she saw the member grow to its full length of 10in. "You don't have to if you don't…" Ash was interrupted by Valerie placing her mouth on his cock. "Arceus" he groaned, his lover giving him a long blowjob. Reaching down with his hands, Ash gripped the top of Valerie's head and matched her actions with thrusts of his own. It didn't take long for Ash to reach his limit and with a quick warning, dumped his load down his lover's throat. The gym leader felt the hot a sticky liquid enter her mouth and it took enormous effort to prevent herself from gagging. With a loud pop, she disengaged from the organ and gasped for air.

Ash let out a soft chuckle and reached out to wipe some excess cum from the girl's chin. "I would go farther but I don't want to get you pregnant my lady". Valerie stood up, nearly smacking into Ash's chin. "I have an IUD, so we won't have to worry about that my love". With a laugh, she turned around and pressed her chest to the mirror, before shaking her ass in her lover's face. "Now come and fuck me like the stud you are".

With Serena

The honey-blonde had tried her hardest to close her eyes and ignore the actions taking place in front of her, but some force was preventing her from doing so. Horrified, the poor girl could only stare as the woman who stole Ash from her was plastered up against the mirror. The worst part was that Valerie was staring at her with a vindictive smirk while being fucked. The gym leader knew she was there and was doing this to punish her. When the pair finally climaxed, both went back to the bed to finish their coitus there. It was at this moment Serena heard gears whirling. "Please stop" she whispered. Her cell began to move and in no time at all she was dumped outside of the gym into a pit of mud. The last thought she had before pulling herself up was that she would get her revenge.

Four Years Later

Ash and Valerie had finally found peace. It had been a trying few years in the pair's lives. After the initial festival things had gone well for the couple but after getting his badge Ash had to leave for the next gym. The pair wouldn't meet again until the league when Team Flare attacked. Valerie had helped put down the grunts but was attacked from behind and held hostage by a masked admin. It would soon be revealed that the admin was Serena, who had joined the rogue organization seeking revenge. Ash had rescued Valerie, and Serena revealed what had happened. However, Ash shocked the woman by revealing that he didn't care about that. In a flash of rage, the woman stormed off and disappeared from public eye. It had taken another three years for the authorities to arrest Ash's former companion. In that time Ash had become the new Kalos champion. Today was the pairs wedding day and as Ash looked upon his bride, he could only think back to the Fairy Festival and how something so wonderful came from the event.
