He was considered the youngest master ever; beat the Elite Four at the age of ten just eight months after he had begun. In his first gym battle, he met his mentor and good friend Brock the Pewter city gym leader using Pikachu's quick attack and the help of his support pokemon it was an easy battle. About his rival now one of the few league masters other then he, his name is Gary and was once his best friend in the whole world until the journey's. At least now, he's a lot nicer to his pokemon and became friendlier then he was before they became masters. The other masters are the Elite four now consisting of Will, Koga, Bruno, and Karen. Agatha retired and doesn't battle much anymore, Lorlei settled down to take care of her and her husband Bruno's children, and the last challenge officially at Indigo Plateau is Lance the current champion (Ash went to complete his pokedex leaving Gary to take it but he went to explore the world). Ash was unofficially called The Ultimate Challenge, and to this day has not been beaten by anybody other then masters or gym leaders. The last master to come around is the one everyone calls the Darkmaster, This because of his chosen pokemon and his mysterious past; his real name is Vicc Sawyer and Ash is probably the closest person to the guy who was three years older then he. The last time he checked he heard Erika of the Celadon city gym was dating him. I wonder what she did to get him to go on a date with her, because that would put Vicc in the spotlight since he was the first guy to ever get the privilege to go out with the Grassmisstress, and according to Misty probably the last, can you say wedding bells, thought Ash thinking of his friend. While Ash thought of Misty he suddenly remembered something important, "oh crap, Misty's gonna kill me, uh Pikachu which way to Lookout Point again." The little yellow mouse pokemon looked up at its trainer and sighed at the boy clad in just jeans, shoes, a black shirt, and a league cap, he shook his head and lead the way. ^^^ The black clad figure watched as his friend ran off in the direction of Lookout Point, known to some as Lovers Lane. Well, he had better leave Ash to his own activities, he had business elsewhere. He ran through the forest at break neck speed fast for even someone of his genealogy (he figured it was because of his dark element powers). As he entered a clearing he slowed to an abrupt stop, he looked around and saw a persian like creature cleaning itself(instead of white with a red jewel in its head it was black with a gold jewel), off to the side a hounddoom looked up and barked happy to see its trainer. In one corner of the clearing a couple looked up from there snuggling, suddenly uncomfortable around there master. "Master Vicc, we apologize for our scene," said the girl with long dark red hair. "It is ok Jessie, you and James may continue when I leave, just make sure you get back to the mansion and if I'm not home by ten then tell the staff I wont be back till tomorrow, and don't forget to make the arrangements I talked about understand," said Vicc while he scratched his hounddoom Goliath under the chin. "Understood Master," replied Jessie, James, and Darkstalker (Darkstalker is a Panthros, a dark element evolved form of persian, yes this is the meowth that traveled with Jessie and James before) at the same time. "I must go, I have other business to tend to, bye my friends," said Vicc turning and leaving the couple and pokemon behind as he headed towards Celadon City, I hope she doesn't burn herself trying to cook again, thought Vicc moving faster then the speed of light. ^^^ Clang!!!! "Are you ok Mistress Erika," asked a rather shocked Michelle head of Erika's maids scanning the messy kitchen. "I'll be all right Michelle, I thought I told you and the rest of the girls to go out tonight," asked Erika recovering from the shock of a falling pan, why did I never take cooking lessons when I was younger, thought Erika with her always-ready pretty frown. "That is what I was getting ready to do when I heard the pan crash, if I'm not needed at the moment then I'll go now," said Michelle knowing with Master Vicc on the way that her mistress was not in any danger. "Just go," yelled Erika trying to fry something. Michelle left the room shaking her head smiling at the way her mistress kept trying to impress her boyfriend, but she, her friends and Erika's family already knew that it all was pointless, because they knew how much the Darkmaster loved Erika. Hell, Erika's parents want the two to get married as soon as possible (Well her mom any way her dad was very uptight about Vicc's attitude) they don't even care if they go all the way before then. They like Vicc and thought he was a good match for there only daughter, being the only surviving member of one of the richest families in Kanto. Erika stood there trying to put out the fire that had started in the frying pan as he entered the room. "Now aren't you glad we can afford to order out," asked Vicc with his trademark smirk plastered on his face. She looked around and was surprised to see Vicc leaning against the doorframe in his black wardrobe that consisted of boots, jeans, shirt, leather knee length coat, sunglasses, and to top off his outlaw appearance a black cowboy hat with a gold lining. Erika dropped the pan and started to cry thinking that the guy she loved would turn around and leave since this was her third failed attempt at cooking, Vicc did not leave and she felt him calling on the shadows. Oh man, its worse then I thought he's going to end my life, she thought sobbing louder. The deathblow she was waiting for did not come but she looked and saw a shadow cover the flaming pan to put out the fire. Vicc took one look at her and wanted to take the pain that she felt inside of her for ruining what he expected was supposed to be there dinner and add it to his own, though he knew that might push him into insanity but that's how much he loved her. He knelt down and picked up her small five foot three inch body and held her in his muscular arms and kissed her forehead, "how's bout pizza tonight, I might be able to digest that but I doubt you can even swallow it without choking." She laid there in her black kimono with gold flowers and looked into his loving eyes confused, "you don't hate me," Erika asked looking hopefully up into Vicc's brown eyes. "What makes you think I hate you," Vicc now looked at her with concern on his shadowy face covered what scars from who knows where. "Because I cook worse then a slowpoke with a migraine," she replied with a frown. "Now you should know that just because you can't cook does not mean I hate you, and plus I can't possibly hate you, you're the best thing to ever happen to me," Vicc said reassuring the gym leader he loved so much. Erika's frown turned into a smile and she put her arms around him with renewed hope that her life might change with this boy that looked so much like a man. Vicc looked into Erika's green hope filled eyes and thought Erika, if I knew I'd still be sane afterwards I would take all of your pain and make it my own. "I love you Erika and that's what counts not your cooking, now lets order some food I'm starving," stated Vicc with a sheepish grin, knowing that he just ruined the romantic thoughts going through his girlfriends mind. Erika looked at him and just burst out laughing she knew that he had a hard time being romantic when his seemingly bottomless pit of a stomach was empty, "you're always hungry, sometimes me and Misty think you and Ash are related somehow." He looked at her with his silly smirk again and said, "maybe we are, we do look similar don't we." Which was the understatement of the year, if it wasn't for the age and almost one and a half foot difference, people would swear the two masters were twins. "I think you should order Erika, if I do some reporter might show up asking questions and sneaking off with some pictures they'll work to change the story into a rumor." With that, Erika ordered about twenty large pepperoni pizzas. ^^^ We change scenes to a red head that looked like she was about to hit something. "Ahhh, Where is he I told him to meet me here at seven and it is now seven thirty," growled the cerulean gym leader angrily. The boy and his faithful pikachu ran down the road as fast as he could go (about one hundred and twenty miles an hour about one-fifth Vicc's speed). Misty was getting rather upset at the fact that she was tired of waiting, but something inside of her told her to wait one more minute. She looked out the corner of her eye and saw a figure appear there with a look that said please don't hurt me. "I said seven, where have you been," she asked as he looked around for anybody trying to listen in so he could tell her the truth without drawing attention. "I was up at Mt. Silver, it's about that time of the year you know, and even at my speed that distance is pretty far," he replied hoping she wasn't carrying her mallet with her. "When did you remember our date, Ashy Boy," Misty asked calling him by her nickname for him as she smiled up at her boyfriend. "Uhh, about sever fifteen," Ash answered knowing the truth can be a painful thing. He winced in genuine pain as her mallet whammed his head with enough force to give any normal person a concussion. As rubbed his head Misty and kissed his cheek and said, "I'm just glad you're here we hardly get to see each other, I wish we were different people and didn't have so many people bugging us all the time." "Oh crap, someone's coming, see you tomorrow," asked Ash hopefully. "See what I mean, I understand you don't want to get caught and we'd be in the paper. Probably made out to be screwing each others brains out or something, well guess we'll see each other later, bye Ashy Boy," Ash gives Misty a quick kiss on the lips and runs off at a speed that would leave a rapidash in the dust. As she smiles at his little gesture she turns to vent her anger on some poor unexpecting trainer that interrupted her date with the boy she had fallen head over heels with just three years earlier. ^^^ We return to Vicc and Erika just as Vicc is finishing his last slice of pizza from his eighteenth box. Erika just smiled at him, How can anyone eat so much and not gain weight, oh well, he's still the best thing in my life, and I'll prove it to him tonight. She crawled onto his waist and straddled his midsection as he finished the pizza. "What are you doing, you know my view on this, we're not married, yet," replied the Darkmaster with a mix of emotions (Reluctance and Pleasure). "But I want to be yours, to be one with you," she was serious about this, she knew her dad would probably 'send him away,' like any other boy he didn't approve of. It wasn't like she liked any other boy the way she liked Vicc, they were all just friends, but her father always thought they wanted her money, or worse to screw her. She knew her father disapproved of Vicc, even though he had money and was a master, her father hated his attitude. So before her father could do anything about Vicc, she was going to become one with him, the only barrier for her were his beliefs, she knew he believed in following Jesus Christ to the best of his ability, but she wanted him tonight. "Erika, before we do this I must tell you something," Vicc said. "What," she asked taking off his shirt and kissing his muscular chest. Vicc tried to keep control long enough to get the ceremony over with, so he would not feel so guilty, "I will perform a mating ritual from my culture, which is used to substitute for marriage." She looked at him asking for him to tell her more, This is what I want even if my father rejects me I want to be Vicc's and only Vicc's. "First off, I was born on this planet, but my parents were from another planet that they left as children. I was the first of my kind born on earth that I know of, I am called a saiyan, a warrior race that are born with tails," she gasped as he stood up and put her down, took off his jacket (his shirt wasn't all the way off) which revealed his tail. "Now do you believe me, but before you answer I will tell you about the matting ritual. When saiyans decide to become one, they don't always exchange rings, they sometimes go further and make the ultimate unification, one which unites the body, soul, and eventually mind. This is considered the ultimate coupling wanting only the other for eternity. Now all we would have to do is draw blood from one another's necks and swallow it, which will put our hormones in overdrive and make us want no one else but each other, now do you believe me and want to do this." She thought about this and suddenly understood him more then ever, yes she did believe him, and yes she wanted him and only him forever, "make me yours saiyan, now and forever." He looked into her eyes and saw love and understanding and he bent down and bit into her veins and took in her blood, he felt his love, desire, connection for her intensify to all new extremes. She saw him offer his neck as she felt the painful pleasure subside as the bite became a closed wound, she took a bite piecing into his veins, as he was allowing her to bite into his tough skin. As she did this she felt all her emotion and hormones align with his and there souls became forever connected. She let go, looked into his eyes, she saw two things, his desire, and his love for her; "now let's complete this, my sweet little angel." "Now how do we do that," asked Erika suspecting the answer. As answer Vicc smiled, grabbed her; and she went to sleep some hours later in total bliss. God bless all lovers~ A/N: For all of you who thought that this was going beyond PG-13, I don't do that, just use your own imagination (perverts). I am a Christian so I have my limits, blood and gore will be given in detail. So how was that, please r/r. By the way please check out my other fics, at this time there more then likely in there infancy, just be patient. Revised. Next time we have Vicc having to go and help Ash get out of trouble, and Misty discovers Erika's bite mark on her neck. As they meet up relationships unfold and secrets are revealed.
