Pokemon: Alpha and Omega

Chapter 24

AUTHOR'S NOTES:
Hello one and all, and welcome to the latest addition to Alpha and Omega. Today I've got some fairly important announcements so please be patient.

First, when I first started as a writer here I had an editor to look over my work before I published it. He would go over the usual things, grammar and spelling. Eventually he got busy with real life and didn't have the time to continue. I try going over my own work but it's still not enough, as plenty of errors still get through. Today I am asking for an editor. You'll get my chapters as I finish them, which is usually about a week in advance of publishing. The way this would work is simple, I will email you my chapters and you will read them. Then you will either email me the corrected work, or tell me where to make corrections, it's pretty simple. My editor needs to be good with spelling and grammar, so please nobody who just wants early chapters. I am completely understanding that you can't catch everything, but having an extra set of eyes is better than just mine. Please PM me if interested.

Second, back when I was writing The Secret Prince I was asked several times to include, more mature content. I decided against doing it then because I didn't want to. But later In the story I started considering it, then decided and even told some people I would, but again didn't because the timing didn't line up very well. I try to keep my word, so my compromise was to include it in this story. Well I thought it would've been easy, but it wasn't. Regardless I did what I said I would do, and have no intention of doing this again. It's at the end of the chapter so if you choose not to read it you won't be missing anything critical to the storyline. I also put a warning up before you get there and read too much. Those of you who aren't happy about this sorry, but I did warn you, and like I said I don't intend on including this kind of content again.

With that all said, if you like my work please vote, feel free to comment, and please share this story with your friends. I now present to you chapter 24, enjoy.

Ash followed the official to his entrance to the battlefield and waited for to be called out. He stood there calmly on the outside, but in his mind was a tornado of thoughts. Not only battle tactics ran through his head, but also his opponent. 'Trash', that's what that trainer called him. Ash had dealt with his fair share of arrogant trainers over the years, this guy was no different, despite just meeting him. Maybe it was because he could read auras now and could see this guy was an asshole, or maybe he's just gotten used to guys like him that he can just tell. Either way, thoughts of how to deal with him ran through his head.

He thought of using a Z move to finish him quick, but if his opponents Tauros was actually strong he might withstand the attack and then Ash's would be at a disadvantage. Ash did have a few tricks up his sleeve when it can to the moves his Tauros knew, but this trainer apparently specialized in Tauros battles, so he probably had a few moves hidden of his own. Ash then remembered what William said about using his aura in a battle. He was never much of one to play mind games, but making this trainer feel inferior, especially after he acted so superior did sound appealing.

Ash never wanted to do things like that before, and just beating them in a battle was enough. But now beating him didn't feel like enough, maybe he was fed up with the way some people have been behaving in this region. Many times since arriving he had been facing individuals who just acted arrogant and looked down on him, sometimes even flirting with Serena when he was right there. In the end he never did much, mostly because Serena just wanted to get away from them. But the few times he did, Ash felt a great deal of satisfaction. Weather it be putting an individual in their place with a Pokémon battle, or like the guy that Fearow took for a flight and then dropped into a bush a couple feet off the ground, he just felt better after showing them up.
