Pokemon: Alpha and Omega

Chapter 66

Author's Notes:
Happy day after Thanksgiving everyone, and welcome to another chapter of Alpha and Omega. Two things need to be said today, so let's get to it.

First, today is the last day to submit your entries for the theme song for the Torrent League. Remember, a Pokémon AMV has to be included, and all submissions must be sent to me by PM.

Second, on Monday I will be starting a new job. I have know idea what it's going to be like, but I do know I'm going to have to learn a ton about the equipment, as I have never worked on anything like this before. Also, in January there will be some big life changes for me that I need to focus on. Combine those with the craziness of the holidays, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up my updates. I know in January I will be taking a short break to handle things here, but I have know idea how everything else will work out. For now, I am going to move to an every two weeks update schedule, if I need to I will put the book on hold so I can focus on my life off of Wattpad, but it would only be till February if I do. To clarify, this book will now be updated every other week. If life doesn't give me the needed time to write, I will put the book on hold until I can write. This is not me abandoning this book, just saying updates will be slowed down.

With all that 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 66, enjoy.

Lucario threw a punch at Ash, but he managed to duck then charge forward, picking Lucario up and throwing him over his shoulder. Greninja then came out of nowhere with his hands and feet glowing white as he used Aerial Ace. Ash put his arms forward as he created an aura barrier in front of him to take the hits. As Greninja pummeled away at the aura barrier, Lucario got back on his feet and charged at Ash. Ash felt Lucario charging in, but was unable to avoid Lucario sweeping his legs out from under him causing him to fall. Greninja then shot his tongue at Ash and wrapped it around his waist, stopping him from hitting the ground. Ash breathed a sigh of relief, but was then sent flying into the nearby river as Greninja's tongue released him.

"Ash!" Serena cried out.

"Serena!" Gardevoir shouted. Serena looked back just as a rock with a red outline stopped right between her eyes, almost hitting her. "You must pay attention! Anything can happen! You must remain focused otherwise you can get hurt too and then both your lives are in danger!" Gardevoir scolded.

Since the attack from Team Rocket, Ash decided William was right and that he needed combat training. Even though he hoped he would never need it, he hated the idea of possibly killing even more, and hoped some fighting skills could help prevent that. This resulted in Lucario sparring with him every day, with Greninja sometimes randomly joining in at different points to keep Ash on his toes. Serena agreed that this would be beneficial to her as well since she died a few days prior. So Gardevoir focused on training her to use her psychic powers in combat. Gardevoir and Delphox would levitate several small rocks around Serena and launch them at her from different directions to make her either dodge or deflect them. They kept it to defense mostly, until Serena decided to start shooting back. She started to take the rocks they fired at her and send them right back at them, keeping them on their toes as well.

The other Pokémon were resting from their training, except Fearow and the Drakeons. They were flying in formation through the air as Fearow lead them through several maneuvers in an effort to help them get a better grasp on flying.

"I'm ok," Ash called out as he finally managed to swim to the bank of the river. A blue webbed hand then appeared in front of him. Ash took the hand allowing Greninja to help pull him to his feet.

"You are improving Master. However you still appear to have difficulty when you are being attacked by two opponents at once," Lucario criticized as he walked over.
