"You do understand the gravity of the situation don't you Ash?"

"Yes I do Bill Sonezaki. I perfectly understand what may happen if this falls into wrong hands. And that's exactly why the old man sent me to take these to you"

Ash and Bill sat on a table having breakfast. There was a small file on the table that was opened. Some documents were taken out from the file and Bill was currently inspecting them.

Bill's hand was shaking, he was sweating profusely as he closely inspected the documents. Ash although highly perceptive and studious in his school years, had not studied biotechnology enough to have properly understood all the documents. So he missed quite a few documents. But Bill was one of the most prominent researchers of the entire century. So he perfectly understood the value of the DNA structures imprinted on the documents.

The DNA code was highly familiar to Bill. He knew it. He knew...who...no...what these codes belonged to. The mother of all Pokemon...Mew. But there was something else in the code too...It was not entirely correct.

Not exactly wrong per se...But just...different. As in intentionally made different. Then there were the theories and the newspaper report...The Catastrophe Of The Cinnabar Mansion.

"...Ash...Whatever you have seen you must keep a secret -" Bill was interrupted by Ash though,

"I know perfectly what those documents are. The Cinnabar Mansion Catastrophe was actually something caused by Team Rocket. That's why I was sent to deliver these. I know Team Rocket would be after anyone's ass who delivers this to you. As I am already on Rocket's radar, it was sensible to send me -"

"But you are just a kid!!" Bill interrupted with a frown.

"...A kid who stopped the Rockets in Viridian. A kid who stopped the Clefairy kidnapping at Mount Moon. And a kid who saved the Cerulean Gym and killed a Rocket. Yes. A kid. So please continue your bitching while I go patrol this area to search for Rockets" Ash responded emotionlessly with a straight face.

Yes. He had told Bill about everything that was till now only known to Oak and Tulip. He figured that if he was going to be a mutual acquaintance with Bill, then it was better that there would not be any secrets between them. Ash was not short-sighted enough to not be able to predict that this would not be the last time he was meeting Bill.

So he told Bill everything.

Bill released a sad sigh as his grip on the documents tightened. No kid should be subjected to that. Killing at such a young age with trauma was not something he would wish upon anyone (Well except his ex-girlfriend).

With a very somber tone Bill opened his mouth to speak, "...*sigh*There's nothing I can do at the moment it seems. This...pokemon? Creature? Whatever was made during the Cinnabar Mansion Catastrophe was artificial. And...HOW in the name of Mother Mew did they even manage to merge Mew's DNA with...some unknown factors I will never know..."

Bill was currently experiencing a lot of pressure. If these recent events were anything to go by then Team Rocket was on the rise once again. He would never know how in the bloody hells did Team Rocket manage to stay alive under Lance's radar for so long.

Moreover he was supposed to be the best scientist on biotechnology and Pokemon DNA and yet...there was THIS absolute anomaly that he just couldn't figure out. It had hurt his pride.

Meanwhile Ash hummed thoughtfully, "...Bill...I do not know what you are talking about Mew's DNA and that creature. But I know this...Mew is a legendary pokemon. I dare call her a deity. She is known as the mother of all pokemon. Whatever was created from her DNA is bound to be a monster...In the hands of Team Rocket...I would not like to imagine the consequences of such a thing happening..."

Bill nodded seriously and frowned at the piece of paper in his hands. In his long life as a scientist it was the first time that he couldn't make head or tails of a single piece of DNA blueprint.

"...Anyway...Bill...I wanted to ask of a favor of you..." Ash began a little uncomfortably.

"...Ask away Ash...I feel like you're gonna be a long time friend...So, yeah...Ask right away...." Bill said with a smile. Bill knew he was right. They were going to be some long term partners because Ash was the only one who could deal with Team Rocket without having a massive red bulls eye printed on their back due to the media. Ash fell under direct jurisdiction of Professor Oak so the media couldn't even touch him.

Even Bill didn't have the influence that Oak did over Kanto. Ash would forever remain unknown to media if Oak didn't want the truth to come out. And Team Rocket would not dare attack Ash head on...That would just reveal their cause far too early and then they would officially have Gym Leaders, Ace Trainers and Elites on their ass. Team Rocket couldn't afford such a thing so early on. So that still gave Ash some time to grow. Currently he was strong enough to take down hordes of grunts...True. But against Team Rocket Elites such as Admins and Executives he had very slim chance of winning.

Now, every reputed scientist gets a few extra privileges. First one. Social and Political Influence (Oak being a former champion even more so). Second one. The influence over trainers. A trainer is given his starter pokemon by a researcher or licensed Pokemon Professor so the Professor holds a unique place in young trainer's heart. Bill also gave away starter pokemon but still he hasn't ever seen with as much potential as Ash. So Ash was the perfect Champion Representative (Obviously not 'Pawn') of the old champion for dealing with the plague that was Team Rocket. So yeah...Oak's got one damn good pawn - I mean representative for him.

That ticked off Bill a little...Why did Oak get all the good ones?! Hmph.

And moreover his representative (Not pawn) was the perfect counter to Team Rocket.

A cold heart? Check. Heartless and ruthless persona (Add in some sadism)? Check. No fussing to kill anymore? Check. Strong enough with a lot of potential? Double Check.

So yeah...Ash was the perfect anti-rocket programme that Oak could ever have launched. Even Bill has gotta admit it...Oak was one sly old coot of a former champion.

Bill needed more trainers like Ash on his side...If it ever came to that. So he decided to grant whatever favor Ash would have...

"...So...I want my 6 Pokemon Limit extended..." Ash told him finally with a bluntly honest answer.

Bill's smile immediately vanished and became replaced with a frown...Now that was not expected. Bill was expecting Ash to request something like Ultra Balls or information about rare pokemon which are the common wishes for a Pokemon Trainer but...THAT was not expected.

Slowly the frown on his face deepened as he thought about it...As one of the most reputed researchers he could grant Ash's request technically. But...It would be basically...illegal to put it bluntly. Illegal as in...crime if exaggerated a bit. Judging by the look on Ash's face it seemed that he too realized his sort of request...If Ash was ever found out then...Minimum punishment? House arrest with fine. Maximum punishment? Revoking of trainer's license.

"...Ash you do know what you are asking of me right?" Bill questioned seriously.

"...Yes I do Bill...And I really, really need it. The current trainers limit puts me at a risk...Team Rocket doesn't play fair...Nor do I..." Ash gave a very chilling smirk to emphasize his point after that, which seemed highly inappropriate to Bill, "...So...Yeah...I know what I am asking of you...And I promise that no one will ever find out. And even if I do get found out...I promise I'll never say your name..."

Bill sighed. It was a tough decision to make. Refuse and lose a potential very powerful ally. Agree and take the risk of getting his name sullied in case Ash ever got caught.

In the end he got up from the chair and went inside his own room to bring a...Belt?! A fucking but extra stylish motherfuckin' BELT?!

Bill sighed as he spoke, "...This little babe here is one of the best things I have ever made..." He said in a prideful tone, "...It is a PokeBelt. Even more advanced than a PokeGear. You can make calls, see the map, and even more functions with this...But its most pronounced feature...A pocket dimension for Pokemon and Pokeballs..." He said with a amiable smile, "...It's a prototype...Merely my very first creation of the series but still...It holds a lot of value...It can theoretically store infinite amount of Pokeballs in its Pocket Dimension...Watch carefully..." Bill proceeded to take out a blue and red Great Ball from his pocket and pressed a button on the belt.

The Great Ball immediately vanished in a white flash. Once again when Bill pressed the same button, the pokeball reappeared in his hand. Ash looked officially 'mind-blown' seeing that, "...Damn Bill...Just damn...You've managed to replicate the Pokeball transfer technology of Professor Oak's Pokedex and make it into a watch for a mini-dimension...Ha...HA...HAHAHAHAHA!!"

Bill smiled fondly as he saw Ash burst out into hysterical laughter...When Ash had calmed down he spoke, "...So Bill...What are you waiting for huh? Configure my Pokedex so that after catching more than 6 pokemon my extra pokeballs go into the belt instead of Oak's lab..."

Bill smirked. He had truly found a gold treasure in this boy. Perceptive as hell, this silver-streaked blue-eyed bastard was. To decipher the working ability of this belt in a minute was nothing a fool could do. Ash handed Bill his Pokedex and soon after making a few tweaks the belt was ready.

Ash opened his own normal belt where he clipped his Pokeballs and wore the PokeBelt instead. There were two figures on the small screen of the belt, A Bagon and a Charmander who he had caught this morning after making that deal with him...

"...See, two of your extra pokemon have now vanished from Oak's lab and gotten into your belt...Imagine the old man's face when he finds out that your pokemon have vanished from his lab...AHAHAHAHA!!" Bill laughed out.

"...Just...Just use it wisely Ash...In official matches never, never show this belt to anyone or use its pocket dimension feature...When you're alone you are free to exchange Pokeballs and swap pokemon...Got it?"

Ash smiled at Bill and extended his palm at him for a firm handshake, "...I got this amazing belt...You get my alliance...Deal?"

Bill smirked at him and accepted the handshake, "...Deal...Partner..."

Ash just smiled knowingly at him. It was gonna be the greatest deal ever.

End. Guys...First and foremost of all...

I am NOT happy.

I just received a PM that asks me why wasn't there a lemon between Ash and Giselle or Ash and Leaf...And mean...Really? No just...REALLY?! I won't disclose the identity of the person at Wattpad but still man...REALLY?!!

Dude...Just...I don't have words actually. If you just want a lemon or smut to read just go to a story which features lemons. This is NOT the story for you. I DO NOT WRITE LEMONS! To be blunt...I actually don't appreciate lemons at all.

I think that private things like that that happen between two people should stay between two people. Not be broadcasted to a general populace. But okay I guess...At the end of the day, it's just plain smut that anyone can read. Just my personal opinion is that I loathe lemons.
Moreover...How old is Ash anyway? Dude I mean if you're reading this...Do you have any fuckin' moral compass?!

Okay...I won't say I haven't ever read a lemon because I don't judge without knowing something but... It's actually the STYLE of writting that made me loathe lemons. It's degrading to females. I honestly hate the style the females a depicted in such scenes.

Okay...I am done ranting...Just know this...I don't write lemons and I never will. Go read something else. Goodbye (Pull down the shutter)
