Summary: The battle has begun…and of course it doesn't go well with Ash and the group. Someone is going to have to do something to make sure no one gets killed…and there will be multiple people that are going to get Ash and his friends out of this mess, even from the most unexpected sources.

Pairing: Ash/Trip, Cilan/Iris with hints of Cilan/Trip, Blair/Bianca and Blair/N

Li: Again, another chapter named after Battler's theme.

Chapter 17: Dread of the Grave

The car collided with the gates. Despite the gates being rather strong against Pokémon, a car was a different story and Est knew this. She drove through the mansion and Bane's henchman that were near the entrance dove out of the way. She didn't hit the door surprisingly. Michael jumped out of the car simply because he didn't want to be in there anymore. He had his Pokéballs out ready to recapture his Pokémon from the thugs who were slowly recovering.

"Vaporeon, Magnezone, I choose you!"

He threw two Pokéballs in the air. One was the water evolution of Eevee while the other was this huge UFO with magnets attached to it.

"I'm ready to take my Pokémon back." Michael said in a rather crude tone.

Est turned the engine of the car off before jumping out with Ash. She turned to Michael and frowned. "I got it here Michael."

"W-What?"

"These jerks hurt my little Trip! They won't get away with this!"

"But what are you going to do?" Ash asked. "You suck at Pokémon."

Est got out a Pokéball and smirked. "Do I really?"

"Wait…what?"

"Come on out Gengar!"

The purple ghost Pokémon appeared out of its Pokéball and cackled upon being released.

"You had a powerful Pokémon and didn't bother using it against Blair?" Michael had to ask.

"Well, I thought Blair was a pushover so…"

"So you decided to humiliate yourself by sending out the weakest Pokémon you could possibly imagine."

Hey! I'm not that weak! Est's Zorua hissed.

Michael stared at the Zorua before shrugging his shoulders. "Whatever…Ash, let's go."

"Ash, you find Trip. Michael, you find the Pokémon. I'm certain they're in two different places in this mansion. Bane wouldn't put them in the same area."

"Right!"

"Whatever…"

Est was ready to kick ass. When Bane's henchmen recovered from the crazy accident, Ash and Michael rushed into the mansion. Michael was disappointed that security wasn't tight at the entrance, or maybe they weren't expecting Est to crash in the front since that would be too reckless for the heroes to do.

Even though he wasn't in the mansion for long, Ash did something that he wasn't known for doing. He memorized the layout and where Trip's room was. That was where he and Michael were going to head to first.

Too bad Ash didn't anticipate that there might be traps in the mansion now. As they reached the staircase, the floor gave out on Ash.

"!"

"Ash!"

Michael reached out to him but Ash already fell through the pitfall. Pikachu and Eevee jumped onto Michael's shoulder in time before that happened.

"Pika pi!"

"Eevee!"

Michael groaned as he debated whether to fall down with him or to run up the stairs. "Dammit Ash! You're supposed to know where these pitfalls are!"

In the end, he decided to take the long way instead of searching for Trip's Pokémon. Est would probably do that anyway.

There was such a thing as miscalculation in life and Burgundy realized she made a huge error she wouldn't be able to fix. Cipher may have seemed like a small group of troublemakers in her mind, but they were a force you did not want to mess with. The group saw Cipher trying to make it under the Driftveil drawbridge and they attacked with all their might sending their strongest Pokémon to counter them.

Shadow Pokémon were not to be underestimated though. They could easily take them on despite being outnumbered. Burgundy knew that her Stoutland was strong, but not enough to take on a Shadow Primeape. If what Cilan taught her about type advantage, she wasn't worried about that. It was the moves it performed that anyone in this region haven't heard of is what caught her totally unprepared.

There were four male Cipher members there and four of them. They attacked with a Shadow Primeape, Shadow Beedrill, Shadow Solrock and Shadow Lunatone. On the hero's team, the group had Sawk, Beartic, Stoutland and Golett. The only person that seemed to be holding off well was Georgia and that was because she had the easiest opponent being the Beedrill. Beedrill was quick and using twin needle often but Georgia would counter with rock smash. They were evenly matched. Burgundy wasn't doing so well not only because of the type disadvantage, but also because of the moves she had never seen before. Stephan was barely holding on with Solrock as he also had the type disadvantage and Luke was losing the one sided battle with his Golett. His Zorua would have been a better Pokémon to use but she didn't have the stamina that his Golett had.

"Dammit, these guys are tough!" Stephan announced. "Sawk, use close combat!"

Stephan was reckless in battle using moves that would backfire after using them. Solrock was waiting for an opportunity before it unleashed shadow sky. This hurt all Pokémon on the field except Shadow Pokémon.

"Shadow panic Solrock!" The Cipher member ordered as Solrock unleashed a crazy purple aura out of the spikes that made it look like the sun. The attack hit every Pokémon on their side causing them all to be dazed.

"!"

"Shadow rush!" They all ordered once the Pokémon were confused.

The four Pokémon charged them with a dark aura around them. They all made contact with their opponent that sent them flying. Only Beartic got back up.

"Don't take that shit Beartic! Icicle spear!"

Beartic absorbed the blow and shot out icicles from its mouth catching Beedrill off guard. Beedrill took a direct hit from the icicles and came crashing down. However, the Cipher member wasn't going to take a lost.

"Cut now!"

The Beedrill suddenly got up. If anyone in the area could see the aura, then they would see that the purple aura turned to red. Its eyes were directed at Beartic's training. At lightning speed, it zoomed passed Beartic and toward Georgia.

"Georgia, look out!" Stephan called out.

It was too late though. Georgia saw that Beedrill was aiming for her face so she tried to block with her hand. The way she held out her hand out was awkward though. While it saved her face and probably her head from being cut off, something indeed was sliced off. She screamed in pain when cut came in contact with her middle finger.

"GEORGIA!" Burgundy cried out.

Beartic reacted by grabbing Beedrill by the wings and stomping on its head. Beedrill wasn't going to get up for a while. Georgia fell to her knees clutching her hand that lost a finger. She didn't expect Cipher to pull a dirty trick and outright try to assassinate her in the middle of a battle but that's what she got for holding her head too high.

Burgundy tried to rush over to the redhead. Georgia told her to stay away and for good reasons. Cipher tried to separate the group. One member ordered his Solrock to use flamethrower on the purple haired sommelier. She barely managed to avoid being burned. These Shadow Pokémon were out to kill and it wasn't just harmless burns that she got like when Ash's Tepig burned her.

"Georgia! Burgundy!"

"Stephan, what do we do?"

Stephan realized that Luke was panicking and for good reasons. One major injury and many Pokémon on their side in the critical zone were making things look bad. Officer Jenny wouldn't be able to do anything even with her threats because they would try to kill her outright.

"I guess this is the line for you four." The leader of the four said as he ordered his Lunatone to use hyper beam on the group.

As Lunatone prepared to charge up its most powerful attack, Stephan had to decide what he was going to do. Should he leave Luke and rush to save the girls or stay there and watch them be obliterated.

Shit…shit…shit! Where is Blair when you need him?

Lunatone unleashed it's most powerful attack when…

"HYDRO CANNON!"

No one expected a powerful attack to counter hyper beam. It was so strong that hyper beam was cancelled and hydro cannon ended up hitting Lunatone knocking it on the spot.

"W-What the?"

"SORA, HURRICANE!"

A powerful gust began to pick up. The area around the bridge started to shake until whirlpools formed in the water. These whirlpools turned into hurricanes as they launched into the air and hit all the members of Cipher and their Pokémon. The bridge looked like it was going to take damage but luckily, the attack was strong enough to suck up the people on the bridge as well as their ship while not damaging the drawbridge itself.

"What in Arceus is going on?" Stephan asked out loud.

The Cipher members all hit the bridge face first. All but the leader was unconscious. He tried to stand up but something trampled over him causing him to faint at long last. The Pokémon that did that came to the group's aid with his trainer riding him.

"I'm sorry I'm late. What did I miss?"

The group knew who saved their asses but didn't give him a warm welcoming.

"You're late Blair! Georgia is injured!" Burgundy shouted.

The brunette flinched as he glanced at her injury. She lost a finger…if he was there a few minutes sooner then this wouldn't have had happened.

"Blair, what happened?"

The group saw whom Blair brought along. It was a girl that looked to be the same age as the brunette. She had brown hair and blue eyes and she was riding a gigantic Dragonite. The Dragonite could not land on the bridge, so she was forced to stay in the water and look down at the group.

"Whitlea, please take care of them. I have to go to Bianca." Blair said quickly. He turned to Luke. "Do you know where she is?"

"She went to save Trip with Ash's group."

"Thanks. Reim, aqua jet into the forest!"

This was the fastest way to travel. Samurott obeyed as he covered himself with water and charged past the group and into the forest. Whitlea jumped down from her Dragonite with a first aid.

"Officer Jenny, what are you waiting for? Arrest these goons!"

Officer Jenny, who had just been on the sidelines waiting for the teenagers to do the dirty work snapped out of her train of thought and nodded her head. Whitlea turned to Stephan, "Hurry up and get Nurse Joy! She has to get that treated before she loses more blood!"

"Y-Yes ma'am!"

Stephan rushed off back to the Pokémon Center. Whitlea quickly rushed over to Burgundy and Georgia and got the first aid out.

"Who are you?" Georgia asked weakly as she felt herself getting weaker despite losing only one small body part.

"I'm Whitlea, but you can call me White. I'm Blair, Cheren and Bianca's best friend, and I'm going to make sure everyone here is okay."

White closed her eyes as she thought of Blair. Blair, please hurry. Cipher is someone that you don't want Bianca alone with.

The girls weren't doing so well outside as they thought they were. There were many Cipher members. All wore clothing that blended in with the surrounding. To make matters worse, it was nighttime, so it was hard to see them. Bianca shouldn't have had been there at all. She couldn't predict when their Shadow Pokémon would strike them without warning. In fact, her inexperience with battling made her an easy target for Cipher. Their Pokémon would attack her Pignite and then hide back into the shadows. It got to the point where it frustrated Bianca and she chased after them as a result. Iris called for her but Bianca didn't return. The dragon trainer was left to fend for herself.

"This is why she should have had stayed at wit the other group!" Iris complained as she got out another Pokéball. "Emolga, help me out too! Axew, get out there and fight!"

Her flying squirrel came out of the ball as she perched herself on Iris' shoulder. Axew was reluctant to get out of Iris' hair and for good reasons. Excadrill stood by his trainer's side to make sure that she wouldn't be harmed.

She was going to try a triple battle. Even though she didn't know how many opponents she was facing, she would have a better chance at defending herself.

Closing her eyes, she tried to detect any movement from the bush. She heard rustling in the bushes and pointed in that direction. "Emolga use hidden power!"

Emolga obeyed for once as she jumped off her trainer's shoulder and fired a green light from the palm of her hands. She hit one of the members as he jumped out of the bushes with his Shadow Houndoom.

"Good, Excadrill, drill run!"

Excadrill quickly incased himself into his shell so only the drill was evident before charging at Houndoom. Because Houndoom didn't expect to be attacked right away, it took a direct hit. The Pokémon was sent flying into a nearby tree.

"Alright, one down!"

Iris quickly noticed that a gunk shot was aimed at her. She quickly jumped out of the way before ordering her Axew to use dragon rage in that area. Axew jumped out of her hair and fired a powerful dragon rage. It hit a Shadow Arbok but it wasn't KOed from the attack.

"Shadow half!" The trainer ordered.

Iris had no idea what that move was, but she didn't want to know. "Emolga, discharge the whole forest!"

She should have done this sooner. Her Emolga began to spark before she unleashed electricity from her body. She hit everything in the forest including her own trainer, but that needed to happen in order for her to uncover all the Cipher members.

Iris counted at least seven of them after her. She wasn't good at math but there must have been at least three more. They probably went after Bianca.

"Good job Emolga." Iris praised.

Emolga gave her a confident smirk as she floated back to her trainer's shoulder. Everyone in the area was stunned so they wouldn't be able to move for a while.

"Great, now let's go get Bianca before something bad happens to her." Iris told her Pokémon.

As she was about to leave though, she felt something wrap around her leg. She looked down and noticed that she missed a Pokémon that used string shot.

"!"

"Ariados, tie her up!"

Did she miss one member of Cipher? She turned around quickly and noticed that Cipher member was wearing a different suit that was immune to electricity. Were they preparing for her to let her guard down?"

"Excadrill, use-"

She didn't get to finish her command because the Houndoom she thought she defeated attacked with fire blast. Excadrill was hit dead on in the back.

"Excadrill!"

"Arbok, shadow half!"

That Arbok she also thought she defeated stretched itself before unleashing a negative energy from its body weakening both Emolga and Axew.

"! Axew, Emolga!"

"Scyther, shadow rush!"

They were attacking her too fast. A shadow Scyther popped out of the pushes at lightning speed and hit Iris dead on sending her to the ground. Axew and Emolga fell off with her. Scyther was aiming for them though as it unleashed a barrage of shadow rushes. It only took one hit to injure Axew but Emolga tried to fly away. Arbok slammed Emolga down with its tail and sent her crashing into the ground.

"Emolga…no!"

Excadrill tried to get back up but Houndoom tackled him with a shadow rush and sent him crashing into a nearby tree. He wouldn't be able to get up for a while.

"Foolish girl, the leader of the group said as he came out of the bushes. "You thought you could take us on all by yourself? Ariados kept wrapping her up like a Christmas present."

Iris was trying to break the thread this entire time, but being hit in the back by Scyther and watching her Pokémon being attacked mercilessly had stopped her from completely pulling the thread and fighting back. Ariados instantly caught her arm with string shot and before she knew it, she was being tied up and left at Cipher's mercy. Her Pokémon were trying to get up but Cipher grabbed her Axew and Emolga and threw them where her Excadrill were. They looked ready to snag her Pokémon away from her.

How did they…

"Shadow Pokémon are stronger foolish girl. I would think that little cunt would have told you about us."

Trip…?

"It won't matter now. Once we're through with you, your cute little mouth will be silenced forever."

Iris couldn't move from her binds and they were closing in on her. She started to shiver. How could she get into this situation now?

Cilan…help me…

Bianca wasn't doing any better. Not only did she lose track of Iris when she ran deeper into the forest, but she lost her opponent she was chasing. She and her Pignite were tired. This is what they wanted.

"Pignite…I don't think I can do this anymore…" The blonde trainer complained as she glanced around. How was she going to make it back to Iris? "Oh…which way?"

"Poliwrath, shadow rush!"

She nearly shrieked as the enemy's Poliwrath jumped out of the bushes and tacked her Pignite into a nearby tree.

"P-Pignite? Are you okay?"

She turned her back. A big mistake because a Shadow Venomoth flew out of the trees and unleashed a supersonic attack at her. She instantly became dizzy when the sound waves hit her ears. Bianca instantly collapsed to her knees because the world was spinning around her. She tried to get another Pokéball out but was met with a shadow rush attack from that same bug Pokémon. Unlike Iris, she couldn't take multiple hits. One hit sent her crashing next to her Pignite.

"Pig…nite!" Her fire pig called out to her as he stood up instantly and stomped the ground ready to perform a flame charge.

Pignite was outnumbered. Poliwrath hit him with hydro pump. Her Pignite didn't stand a chance against that water move and was knocked out.

"That was easier than taking candy from a baby." A Cipher member mocked as they came out of hiding. Bianca glanced at them weakly. That member had a Stantler on hand and it was glaring down at her and her Pignite. "Women are so easy to defeat."

These men were monsters. They didn't care if they were handling a young girl. One of the members stepped on her head as if she were trash.

"Women should know their place…in the kitchen!" He announced in a mocking tone.

She weakly tried to cover her head from him kicking it but one attack made her unable to move.

"So what was the order?" The guy asked as he kicked her again.

"Bane just said to make sure that these kids didn't gets near the mansion. If they did, then we would kill them. He also added that we could do whatever we wanted though."

"That means…we can do what we want with her."

Bianca's heart nearly stopped as they looked down at her with a predatory look. She tried to crawl away when they grabbed her. She started to scream; they retaliated by ordering the Shadow Venomoth to use poison powder on her. A slow yet painful death as toxic spores came out of the purple Pokémon's wings. The purple specs hit her body, but she also inhaled some of the poison. She ended up gasping for air as a result. The three Cipher members found it amusing that she was struggling to breathe.

"Venomoth, why don't we help her out with venoshock?"

That move does double the damage if someone who was poisoned was hit by it. Venomoth unleashed a poisonous liquid onto her body. She couldn't scream because her lungs were tightening when she inhaled the gas. She wheezed as she tried to get fresh air. Cipher was enjoying every moment of this.

"Look how pathetic she is."

"To think that she would be in this rescue mission."

"She must have thought this was a kid's game like the rest of them."

"Finish her off."

Bianca was falling into unconsciousness. Maybe it would have been better. She wouldn't have had to deal with the pain she was feeling now. Her body was numb, her lungs were heavy and she put her Pignite in danger.

Ash…Iris…Trip…Blair…I'm sorry…for being so useless…

"Hyper beam."

The two of the Shadow Pokémon began to charge for a hyper beam while the Shadow Stantler prepared solar beam. She knew her death was coming…

"Aqua jet Reim!"

The three Pokémon didn't get a chance to get react as Samurott came charging at them at top speed. It only needed to tackle Stantler because the other two Pokémon got mowed down similar to the domino effect.

"! It's him!"

Bianca heard Samurott land on the ground kicking up dirt as a result. She recognized the Samurott from anywhere. Tears flowed from her eyes when the trainer that left her was getting on his knees checking on her condition.

"B….l…air…"

"Shh, Bianca, don't move." Blair told her softly, "You'll hurt yourself."

Bianca smiled weakly as she tried to reach to move her hand.

"You…"

Blair already took out an antidote and tried to get her to drink it. "Take this. You'll feel better."

Blair placed Bianca's head over his legs slowly and slowly tilted her head to drink the antidote. When he was doing this, Samurott was holding off the Shadow Pokémon single handily. While other Pokémon were having problems with one Shadow Pokémon, Reim took them on without breaking a sweat. Cipher didn't know how to handle him.

"Dammit, get that thing!"

They use hyper beam on Samurott. Reim countered with using ice beam and the attack cancelled as a result.

"Bianca…which one of them hurt you?" Blair asked in a dark tone. "I'll get him back."

She couldn't respond to him. She was still weak. Once the fluid was inside of her, she closed her eyes. She wanted to sleep.

"Dammit…dammit…dammit!"

Blair stood up, glaring daggers at the Cipher members. "You hurt Bianca didn't you?"

The Cipher members stepped back.

"You'll pay…"

Cipher members were only scared of one person. His name was Wes, and he was the trainer that brought down Cipher single handily. For a second, these three Cipher members thought the boy that in front of them was Wes…but this guy may be more dangerous than Wes…especially since he was starting to glow a dark black color...

Ash couldn't believe that he lost track of everyone once he fell through that trap. Even Pikachu and Eevee didn't fall into the pitfall and was left with Michael. It didn't matter though, he needed to keep going to find Trip and in order to do that, and he would search every goddamn room and hidden chambers in this mansion to find him.

The Kanto trainer rushed ahead into the darkness of the chamber. It was hard to believe that beyond the dead bodies, there was another secret passage. Ash was almost certain that this was the area where Trip was being held.

He didn't get far though because he had to stop. He didn't understand why there was purple miasma in this area. His aura may not have been powerful but it was enough to realize that this place was pure evil.

"Trip…where are you…?" Ash asked as he continued forward.

"A…sh…"

"! Trip?"

"A…sh…"

Ash rushed toward the voice up ahead forgetting the pain he was feeling in his heart. He stopped to catch his breath when he caught sight of Trip up ahead.

"T-Trip! You're okay?"

The raven-haired teen looked up to make sure it was Trip. So far, it seemed like it was Trip. He had the same hair, eye color and clothes…on second thought that last one was false. Trip didn't have any clothes on and instead was wearing a towel around him. He too was out of breath.

"Ash, you really…came for me…"

Ash didn't know what he was doing when he embraced the younger trainer. The action caught Trip off guard but he did not pull away.

"I'm sorry that it took so long."

There were tears falling from his face. He knew this but he couldn't help but cry. The grey-eyed trainer was confused.

"Why are you crying? There's no need for that…I knew you would come save me, I mean, you are the hero."

Ash didn't seem to notice that Trip's tone was different. Was it because he rebelled against his father that he regained his confidence or…

"Trip, let's get out of here. Everyone else is waiting outside. We'll get you away from your uncle and you won't have to worry about him hurting you or your Pokémon again."

"…Thank you Ash…I really appreciate it."

Ash was willing to carry Trip out of this hellhole if he had to. Instead, he led the trainer by the hand slowly out of the dark passage. The Kanto trainer knew his cheeks were red when Trip gripped his hand tighter. They were as cold as ice but Ash assumed it was because of being down here for too long.

As the two began walking, Trip kept looking back as if he was expecting something to come out from behind and grab them.

"Trip, what's wrong?"

"…Ash, there's something I want to give you for rescuing me…"

"You don't have to do it now. Just thank me when we get out…mmph?"

Ash wasn't expecting a surprise kiss from the younger trainer. Small lips were placed against his own as he passively but at the same time assertively gave him a thank you kiss. Now Ash already forced a kiss on him once, but that was out of desperation. He didn't know what to do now.

"I thought you were an expert…" Trip said disappointedly as he pulled away. "I mean, when you pushed me down on the bed…"

Ash wondered if Trip was deliberately trying to make him all flustered. He turned away, smoke coming out of his ears.

"That was…"

"It's okay, I understand…in fact, I want to continue where we left off."

Ehh?

Ash was going to pretend that he didn't hear Trip suggest that until he kissed him again only more passionately than the last one.

"There's still time…" He heard Trip say as he led him to a nearby room. Ash wanted to tell him to stop but he couldn't find his voice. He was still dazed from the kiss…it made him wonder how Trip got so good but considering what his uncle was doing to him…

"Trip…stop…"

"Don't you love me?" Trip asked once they made it to the room and the younger trainer pushed him on the bed. "Am I not the most important person to you?"

His heart skipped a beat. What was this feeling that he was feeling now? Trip wasn't going to explain it to him as he started to unzip his zipper. Ash grabbed his arm weakly trying to prevent him from removing his sweater.

"Trip…now isn't the time…"

He didn't mean it like that of course because this being Ash was oblivious to love. However, Trip pouted as a result and moved the hand away. "Didn't you want to fuck me when we were at the Pokémon Center?"

What was Trip using that language to describe the situation they were in yesterday? It wasn't like him at all. Ash nearly mewed when the younger trained kiss his neck lightly as he successfully removed his shirt.

"Why won't you touch me?" He asked in a wanting tone. "Is it because…my uncle…"

"Trip?"

"…Am I that disgusting that even you won't look at me again?"

Ash didn't know what to say. He wasn't use to being in these situations. He nearly gasped as Trip proceeded to take his pants off. He placed his hand on Trip's arms.

"Trip, you have to stop."

Trip didn't respond. Instead, he proceeded to take the towel around his waste and remove it. Flustered Ash tried to prevent him from removing his towel at least. He noticed something wasn't right about the front of the younger trainer's body but he wasn't experienced in this field to know what it was.

"Trip!"

"Please Ash…please tell me you love me…please make me feel…"

"That's enough!"

Ash didn't mean to slap the young photographer but he wasn't acting in character at all. This caught him off guard. Instead of crying, he looked pissed.

"Why? Why are you so…"

"This isn't you Trip." Ash told him rather harshly. "You need to realize this isn't the time or place to do this. We have to focus on getting out of here instead of doing this." Ash was still blushing when he said that. "And to answer your question, I don't know how to respond to that."

"…Are you serious or are you trying to hurt me?"

"No, I'm serious. I never had to deal with this for the past five years. I still don't know what you're trying to do, but I know that it's not good…plus…" Ash gave a determined stare at the young trainer. "Even though I don't understand your situation as well as everyone else with how your post traumatic stress disorder syndromes are, I know you're not supposed to be trying to do this with me according to Est."

Trip said nothing…before he started cackling. "That's too bad. I guess seducing you is out of the question."

"!"

To his horror, Trip got out a butcher knife underneath the towel and tried to stab him. Ash managed to dodge it in time. However, he was feeling kind of dizzy and fell off the bed.

"T-Trip…"

"…Fool."

When Ash managed to get up, Trip was gone. Instead, on the bed was a woman that was at least ten years older than him with long pink hair and green eyes. She had a white suit on and goggles on her head. Any signs of the towel were gone.

"Seriously, you are like the worse guy to fall in love with!" The girl mocked as she sat up from the bed. "I feel sorry for the kid that he fell for the guy who doesn't even understand what sex is."

Ash backed up against the wall before he glared at her. "Where is Trip? What did you do to him?"

"Oh him? He's at the end of the chamber still being taught a lesson from his uncle. It's like totally cool there, but you are so not going to make it to him on time because I'm going to kill you now."

Ash tried to get one of his Pokéballs out but she saw that and rushed toward him with the knife. Ash had to jump out of the way to avoid being stabbed. She was fast with the knife though and let out a barrage of attacks. Ash knew he couldn't get hit here if he wanted to save Trip so he rolled out of the way. Unfortunately, he rolled into the backboard leg of the bed. He clutched his head in pain.

"Oww!"

"And did I mention that you are a total idiot?" She asked as she tried to stab him. Ash recovered quickly to avoid getting stabbed in the groin. "You think that you can get your army of little kids to storm this mansion and save one boy that is past his bedtime? Please! This kid will be the death of all of you, and Cipher is going to make sure that you kids will be wiped off the face of the planet."

"Keep dreaming because I'm going to save Trip!" Ash shouted as he tried to kick the knife out of her hand. He missed but she jumped back.

"You can still say that despite the fact that you totally accepted my kiss? Three times I might add?"

"It was only twice!" Ash corrected, his cheeks red with shame. How could he let someone like her trick him?

"Oh, you can count! Doesn't matter. You'll be counting the number of times I stab you!"

Ash got up quickly and rushed toward the door. However, the pink haired girl was fast. She nearly stabbed him in the back as a result but Ash fell to the floor before that could happen.

"You need to die so that kid can suffer."

As she brought the knife down…

"Vaporeon, use hydro pump!"

A blast of water suddenly blasted the door away and hit the Cipher girl directly sending her on top of the bed soaked and wet. Her knife fell to the floor.

"Ash, what the heck were you thinking?"

"Michael…you…"

"Pika pi!"

"Eevee!"

Ash was greeted by his Pikachu and Eevee who hopped on their trainer while Michael stepped over him with a Vaporeon by his side that was leering at the pink haired girl. To Ash it was obvious that they knew each other and it wasn't a good thing.

"I'm surprised you got your jacket in the whole struggle." Michael joked as Ash realized that the entire time, he was holding onto what was unzipped. "Leave her to me. We have a score to settle."

"Michael, she has a knife!"

"I know. Cipher plays dirty. They won't hesitate to kill you. I let my guard down once and got all my Pokémon stolen by then and now I want my revenge."

"You meanie…" The pink haired girl growled as she shut up with a Pokéball in her hand. "Attacking a girl with a powerful water attack just to get her wet. Such a naughty boy..."

"It's only naughty if you think it is." Michael taunted. "Go now!"

"Delcatty go! Use shadow ball on that mean boy!"

A cute cat like Pokémon came out. Michael instantly turned on his scouter that told him it was the same Shadow Pokémon that Bane jacked. Delcatty fired a black ball at Michael. He ordered his Vaporeon to stop it with his shadow ball. The two attacks collided but it was enough for Michael to jump out of the room when Lovrina regained possession of her knife.

"Yeah…like I'm going to let you kill me…" Michael said with a sigh as his Vaporeon jumped to his side. "Be careful Vaporeon. Let's take the Shadow Pokémon back."

"Por~"

Iris wanted to scream but she couldn't. String shot tied her up like a mummy and she couldn't wiggle free. With her tied up, Cipher went to capture her Pokémon. They captured them in their Pokéballs. Iris thought it would be impossible since they belonged to her but they had a machine that was able to steal her Pokémon. They put the Pokéballs on the ground, as they turned to the dragon tamer.

"Now we have to deal with you."

They could smell the fear in Iris' eyes as they walked toward her. She struggled again but no prevail.

"What should we do? Should we burn her alive? Rip her apart? Or…"

"Have our way with her?"

"That sounds fun."

"!"

The Cipher members laughed at their jokes…but then someone that wasn't part of the group started laughing. They stopped and looked around.

"Yes, that sounds fun. You tie her up and then have her beg for mercy when you start toying with her emotions, but in the end, she'll continue screaming for her prince to rescue her…and this prince would have refine taste."

"W-Whose there?"

"Rock tomb."

A huge boulder that came crashing from the sky attacked the Cipher members. They and their Pokémon had to move out of the way to avoid being crushed. Iris glanced up and gasped when she saw someone wearing a black outfit and was wearing a white wig over them. On his shoulder was his Pansage.

Cilan?

"Who are you?"

The mysterious man just shook his head. "I am a member of the Shadow Triad…I would give you my name, but then I would have to kill you~" He said in a teasing tone.

Iris shivered. The tone Cilan used didn't match him at all. Was he always this dark and crazy? Was his cheerful persona only a façade?

The member of the Shadow Triad took out another Pokéball and threw it into the air. "Dwebble, use slash!"

The familiar rock/bug Pokémon came out of its Pokéball happily as he used its pincers to free Iris from her binds.

"C-Cilan!" She called out the minute she was able to move.

Cilan ignored her as he focused on the Cipher members that were planning to hurt her. He might have been cryptic on what was going to happen but…

"D-Damn you Plasma members! You always cause trouble for us Cipher members!"

The green haired gym leader chuckled. "Of course. After what you did in the past, we simply couldn't let you off the hook? That would lead to having a bad aftertaste in one's mouth."

Cilan observed his surroundings. It was seven against one since Iris didn't have any Pokémon. He would need to defeat them all before he could give Iris back her Pokémon. Even though Ghetsis said that he should force them to release them…he wouldn't be able to bring himself to do that especially to Iris…

"Cilan…are you really…"

"Iris, we'll talk about this later." Cilan said darkly.

The dragon trainer trembled slightly at Cilan's tone of voice. Why wasn't he gentle with her like he always was?

"C-Cilan…"

She ended up walking behind him hoping that he wouldn't pull away from her. To her surprise, he grabbed her arm and pulled her directly behind him.

"Stay close to me. I don't want you to get hurt."

Iris felt her heart racing when he spoke those words. While his tone of voice was deeper, his words were gentle. If she brought her ears closer to Cilan's back, she would hear that his heart was pounding like hers.

The Cipher members laughed at the touching scene before them.

"Aww, isn't that sweet? A high ranking member of Team Plasma saves a measly human with no social upbringings." The leader of the group accused. "This will be a piece of take."

Cilan just chuckled as he pointed toward them. "I may be a member of the Shadow Triad and thus a member of Team Plasma, but right now, I'm just a guy who's going to do the right thing and create a recipe that you members of Cipher will never forget."

He took out a third Pokéball and threw it into the air. "Stunfisk, come out!"

It was going to be another triple battle, but unlike Iris, he would not fall. He was going to defeat these Cipher members and regain Iris' trust.

Ash kept running forward with Pikachu and Eevee. The minor setback made him realize that Trip could be dead if he didn't hurry up. Almost seduced by that evil woman, was bad enough but he almost died because he didn't push her away. But he was convinced that she was Trip for a while. The way she spoke, the way she presented his body despite it being a disguise, Ash didn't know why he was still thinking about it. If he thought Lovrina was Trip then…what did that mean…

I don't get it, but I need to focus on Trip now.

There were just a few more doors to barge through to get to Trip.

"Trip!"

"Ash!"

Ash made it to the final chamber. He was disgusted to find Bane waiting in a chair that was suit for an arrogant king. He stared down Ash with his evil eyes as he had a Pokéball in hand. Ash wasn't looking at his opponent though. He saw Trip and the condition he was in. The poor kid was not only beaten up but he was stripped and tied up in an awkward position that Ash's mind wouldn't be able to comprehend.

"So you finally made it. I thought you were more interested in Lovrina than this poor faggot."

Ash didn't say anything. Whatever that woman was doing, it kept him from arriving sooner, but he still didn't understand what she was trying to do.

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

Bane just laughed. He thought Ash was bluffing but Trip could tell Ash was serious. He shouldn't have had doubted Ash for a second because the idiot wouldn't be able to tell if someone was trying to turn him on or not.

"You can say that all you want. You were turned on by a woman and not this kid."

"I'm not here for your mockery. I came here for Trip!" Ash declared. "If you won't move out of the way, then I'll knock you out of the way!"

"Hah, that's very funny. A little boy challenging me, a member of Cipher on? I'll play with you before you go to sleep. I can't wait to drain the life out of you once my Pokémon is through with yours. Ferrothorn, come on out!"

Bane sent out his Ferrothorn to take on Ash. Now Ash would have called out his Tepig and use strategy to beat this guy but his Pikachu wanted in on the action. His Eevee did too initially but he seemed really scared about something.

"Pikachu, you want to take him on?" Ash questioned his buddy.

Pikachu responded by his cheeks sparking. "Pika!"

"Alright."

"Ash…be careful…" Trip tried to call out but his voice was at it's last breathe with all the screaming he just did.

Bane gave a haughty countenance. He was going to win this. "Shadow rush!"

Ash had no idea what type of attack that was. Ferrothorn started to spin as it spun toward Pikachu.

"Use agility!" Ash ordered.

His Pikachu quickly sped out of the way. Ash was surprised that Ferrothorn continued to chase after Pikachu quickly. The electric mouse was still faster and was able to continue dodging him.

"Power whip!"

Ferrothorn stopped spinning and slammed one of its thorns into Pikachu's face. Pikachu took a direct hit and was sent flying.

"Pikachu!"

"Is that it? This brat here says you're the best, yet I see another weakling in front of me."

"We're just getting started. Pikachu, thunder bolt!" Ash ordered.

Pikachu recovered and unleashed powerful lightning bolts from his body. The attack hit Ferrothorn directly but it took little damage.

"W-What?"

"Stupid boy. Ferrothorn is half grass, half steel. You're pathetic. Ferrothorn pin missile, fire!"

Ferrothorn's body began to glow. Shortly after, it fired small thorns from its body at Pikachu.

"Use electro ball to knock them away!"

Pikachu quickly gathered his strength onto the tip of his tail and fired the electric ball at the pin missile attack cancelling it out. Ash blinked for a second and saw that Ferrothorn had a red aura now. It was entering hyper mode.

"Shadow rush!"

When the thorn Pokémon rushed at Pikachu this time, it was twice as fast because it was seething with anger. Pikachu was thrown back into Ash's arms and Ash was sent back quite a distance.

"! Ash!" Trip cried as he struggled with his chains. They wouldn't budge despite inherited from his mother. Was he really too weak to even get himself out of trouble now that Ash was here?

"Give up and die so I can continue with my fuck session." Bane said as he licked his lips.

Trip shivered at those words. Fortunately, Ash wouldn't be affected by those words and continue battling.

"Pikachu, you think you can keep going?"

Pikachu nodded his head. Eevee looked worried for his trainer. Ash closed his eyes and glared at Bane. "Alright, let's finish this."

Bane didn't realize that he was being pushed back until it was too late. Ash figured out how to counter Ferrothorn. When Bane forced his Pokémon to use power whip, Ash ordered his Pikachu to take the blow. Pikachu was able to grab onto the vine and despite being spun around, Ash ordered Pikachu to electrocute Ferrothorn while spinning. This would do damage despite the resistance since the thorns were connected to Ferrothorn. It was forced to let go of the electric rat. Ash knew how to finish it off.

"Pikachu, volt tackle!" He ordered.

"Metal claw!"

Ferrothorn knocked Pikachu back with its thorns turning as hard as metal. Pikachu bounced back but was already charging its body with electricity. Pikachu charged Ferrothorn head on. Bane couldn't order his Pokémon to dodge or counter because Pikachu was moving too fast. Ferrothorn was hit dead on and despite the resistance, took critical damage. Hyper mode weakened its stamina and fainted as a result.

"You useless piece of shit!" Bane cursed.

Ash smirked. He won the battle. Trip could go free now. "Way to go Pikachu!"

Pikachu needed to catch his breathe before he cheered with his trainer. Eevee also rooted for Ash as it hopped over to his trainer's leg. Trip sighed with relief. The hard part was done now…

Trip froze when he felt the noise of a gun being loaded. His eyes widened in horror as he noticed that Bane was pointing a gun toward Ash.

"No…"

Ash didn't realize the gun was fired. As luck would have it, the bullet went past Ash's cheek and that brought him out of his cheery state.

"ASH!" Trip ended up screaming.

Bane just laughed. "Try to take another step. I might not miss next time."

"! You dirty coward!"

The Cipher member continued to laugh as he slowly walked over to Trip. "You're a fucking idiot kid. Cipher doesn't play by the rules. We'll kill you regardless if you win the battle or not. By the way, if you move…" Bane then pointed the gun to Trip's head. "This cute head of his won't be attached to his neck anymore."

"TRIP!"

Bane just shook his head as he continued to laugh like a hyena. It made Ash's blood boil as he clenched his fists realizing that he wouldn't be able to do anything for Trip now.

"You were so close kid." He derided. "You manage to get this kid to risk everything just so he could be with you." He continued to chide as he rubbed the pistol on Trip's back wanting to pull the trigger so badly. "But in the end, you can only watch as I violate my brother's son."

He sounded proud to bring up that he was raping the child that belonged to his brother. Trip shut his eyes tightly.

"No…"

Ash almost took a step when Bane got behind Trip and used his free hand to play with the young trainer's nipples.

"No!"

"You bastard! Stop it!"

Ash wasn't a person that swore but he was furious with this guy. What was this feeling in his gut?

"Kid, you would be surprised how much Trip likes you. He'll be turned on if you're watching his shameless display of affection."

Trip squirmed desperately trying to get away from this man. Ash was right in front of him. He just had to break free and run into his arms. Why was the miracle not happening?

He bit his lip until it drew blood when Bane went below his nipples and grabbed his dick.

"You won't say anything? This is what you wanted your true love to see." His uncle mocked as he started to stroke him. "Why won't you let those cute sounds out when you're in bed?"

"Stop it…please…" Trip's voice was cracking. The dirty blonde felt the tears rolling down his cheeks as he tried not to cry in front of Ash again. He promised he would be strong but he was failing miserably. Why was this happening in front of the person he cared for so much? Why must he be punished for wanting to be saved?

"You were like a Purrloin when I told you he was touching you."

"No…Ash…please help!" He begged. He didn't care if he died. He just wanted Ash to save him.

Ash just stood there not knowing what to do. He was fueled by anger but one wrong move meant that the person he was trying to save would die. Both Pikachu and Eevee were growling. Sparks were being released out of Pikachu's cheeks while Eevee entered hyper mode from the abuse they were witnessing. Only their trainer didn't understand the full aspect what was happening in front of him, but he wanted to murder the man in front of him for hurting Trip.

Bane wanted to spite Ash and show him that there is no such thing as hope in this world. He slowly undid his pants and positioned himself behind Trip. "I guess I should show you how a man is supposed to take control in a relationship. Kid, I'll just say this once, this brat is my property."

Ash didn't realize that he moved at that point but at that point, he didn't care. He rushed toward Trip. Bane would have pulled the trigger if something from above didn't hit him in the hand forcing him to drop his pistol. The attack also hit the ropes that bonded Trip to the ceiling. The rope was cut and Trip fell forward. Ash opened his arms out and caught the grey-orbed trainer.

"You bastard! You're going to pay!"

Ash looked to see what happened. Next to him was a Woobat that was ready to attack again. Suddenly, a Yamask appeared next to the Woobat and unleashed a shadow ball at Bane hitting him directly and sending him back into his chair.

"If you say, You're going to pay!"

"We will answer for the sake of tomorrow."

Ash's eyes widened realizing who were the people that saved them both. He slowly turned around.

"Future! A white future reflects the color of evil!"

"Universe! The hammer of justice in a black world!"

"Our names will be remembered in this place!"

"Destroyer of passion, Jessie!"

"Pure heart of darkness, James!"

"Infinite intelligence, Meowth!"

"Come gather! Under the name of Team Rocket!"

Ash's eyes kept getting bigger if that were possible. "T-Team Rocket…"

Jessie and James stepped in front of the two trainers facing their opponent.

"We may be Team Rocket and you may be our enemy twerp." Jessie began not looking back.

"But we cannot stand the horrendous deeds that are happening before us." James finished. He was referring to the child abuse and rape that they were witnessing.

Meowth stood near Pikachu and Eevee. Pikachu was surprised to see Meowth too.

"It's not like I'm doing this as an apology for betraying you twerps." Meowth hissed. "This guy just ticks me off!"

It was Ash's turn to prepare to cry. He almost lost Trip, but if it weren't for Team Rocket then he would have…

"Thank you so much…"

"Don't thank us now twerp," James told him, "Not until we deal with the trash."

Bane recovered and got out two Pokéballs and threw them in the air. "Come on out Hypno and Lickilicky!"

Two Pokémon came out. One was the Pokémon that was known for kidnapping children and the other was the pink monster with a huge tongue. How fitting for a pedophile like him.

"I'll show Team Rocket what happens when they mess with Cipher! Hypno, use psybeam! Lickilicky, use flamethrower!"

The two Pokémon attacked with powerful attacks. However, at closer inspection, you could see that the attack was darker than usual. When Ash closed his eyes and opened them again, he saw that these two Pokémon also had a dark aura surrounding them.

"!"

"Hey twerp, take our advice and get the kid out of here." Meowth advised as he extended his claws, "we got this in the bag."

Ash didn't question them. Trip needed to get out of here fast. With a slow nod, Team Rocket ordered their Pokémon to charge at their opponent.

Me: TBC with 10,032 words.

Li: A month later…

1. Shadow Pokémon are physically stronger than normal Pokémon hence why Burgundy's group didn't stand a chance. The only reason Blair and Whitlea are able to overpower Cipher is experience.

2. Iris lost to Cipher because she let her guard down. Bianca was simply no match for Cipher. Ash is a horrible person for leaving the girls outside.

3. Cipher is known for being able to disguise themselves as other people as shown in Gale of Darkness when they disguised themselves as THE WHOLE CITY.

Team Rocket saving the day? Well, they can do that in movies and everyone will cheer because Team Rocket has a heart somewhere in there.

Oh, I noticed how similar this chapter is to chapter 38 of Fallen Angel. Ash rushes toward the gun despite knowing he could get shot to save Trip is so much like him rushing to save Gary...only difference is Ash got shot like twenty times in Fallen Angel and is still alive somehow. XD

Edit: Now that Black 2 and White 2 are out now, Est's team actually makes sense.
