Chapter 6

 

            “I love you. I love you. Three simple words can change the world so much. It never ceases to amuse me how foolish people are…”

            We love you.

            “That’s different.”

            Your Father loved you…

            “I know. That’s the only reason he would save the world. But now he’s gone, and I don’t have anyone to talk to anymore…”

            It’s not worth the world is it?

            My Father died for them, and those bloody humans don’t even know it! I wish – I wished they’d died instead, all of them!

            It’s their sin that brought this on after all!

            It’s their fault father died!

            Dragonair wrapped Lance in her coils as he began to shake. Shh, shh, Master… you need to purge yourself of these emotions…

            “Brock’s bachelor party is tonight. Should I go?”

            Will it help you forget?

            “Perhaps…”

            Then go.

 

            “You came.” Ash said.

            “I see you’re here as well. Why?”

            “I found, er, I begged Karen to watch May tonight. She sighed a lot, but she said she’d do it if I paid her $5000…”

            Lance’s eyebrows rose. “I see.”

            “Yes.” Ash nodded. “I guess that’ll work, huh?”

            “I hope so…”

            “Ack! You don’t think…?”

            “I’m not saying a word…”

            “Oh dear…”

 

            Most of the male gym leaders and Elite were there, and since alcohol and snacks overflowed… within the hour, most were inebriated…

            Ah well, it was to be expected.

 

            Cuddle.

            Lance blinked at the person blearily. Something was wrong, one part of his mind was screaming, but that was the part that managed to escape the ring’s influence – a few sips of cheap liquor had completely derailed the Dragon Master’s normal perceptive nature. Pity for that…

            Ash cuddled closer to the heat source with a smile on his face. Lance paid it no mind, feeling rather light-headed, until a sloppy kiss met his lips. Then, he blinked.

            “You’re pretty…” Ash slurred, obviously quite down in a mental fog. “What’s your name?”

            His name? Names weren’t important at a time like this. Ash didn’t seem to notice either, as he tried to kiss him again.

            Something in Lance’s mind began to sound an alarm bell, but no… it felt kind of nice, didn’t it?

            Ash giggled as the kiss was reciprocated. Now this was more like it! One thing led to another and then to another….

           

            The Champion woke up with a throbbing headache as he tried to move.

            “Ash, the wedding’s in an hour. My best man isn’t even dressed yet? Man, you must have had a rough night.” Brock said with a knowing smile.

            “Huh?”

            “Go home, take a shower, put on a suit, do something with that hair of yours, and meet me at the Pewter Church in an hour!”

            Ash gulped. “Okay!”

            He’d left Pikachu and his other pokemon at home, flown here on Pidgeot, but the thought of flying home was… painful.

            However, he gritted his teeth as he climbed on his Pidgeot and took off…

            It would be fine, right? Right?

 

            “I feel ill.” Lance muttered.

            Well, you were making out with someone… half the night, and…

            “I know! I didn’t think the ring would… Argh, I know there was a lust spell on it but I didn’t think it’d inebriate me just to get me laid!”

            Lance was randomly smashing things not held down, but as he wasn’t smashing anything important – no pokemon or lovely ancient treasures of Pokemontropolis or mementos of his father in the way…

            Tax forms and fangirl’s gifts were not important.

            Was it really that bad, Master?

            “Was it bad? Hakuryuu, what kind of question is that? I don’t do the casual sex thing! If it weren’t for – that incident, I’d never bother having sex at all! Its not like guardians can bear children anyways and I like it that way!”

            Well… don’t you know who it was at least?

            “Meh. Black hair. I hope I didn’t sleep with Koga… ugh. Bad mental image there! Wait, no, I’d know if it was Koga – Mastery clicking and all that…”

            Lance began running a mental checklist in his mind, before he finally sighed. “Either Ash or Brock himself – it had better not have been Brock! Falkner has Flying – that’s under my control, oh wait, Giovanni has ground, which isn’t under my control either… shudder… oh great, Bruno and Chuck also have black hair… and fighting’s not an element either…”

            The dragons tactfully stayed silent.

 

            “If I slept with any of them I’m going to kill myself…”

            Well, you were unaware of it…

            “I know, but still… Lugia! What am I going to do now?”

            Master?

            Lance looked panicked, as he held out a hand, waiting… seconds later, blue light flared, bluely, forming into a set of elegant silver blades…

            His Dragon Blades…

            “They’re still here, so I haven’t lost my Dragon Mastery at least. But then that doesn’t make any sense. To retain my power, I’d have to sleep with someone of an element under my control or another realm guardian, because if I slept with someone normal I’d lose everything, but Charlotte’s dead and it’s not like there’s anyone else. Perplexing… oh no, did I sleep with Koga? I’m confusing myself now…”

            Had he dreamed it then?
