[Anyone paying attention to the network will be audience to a rather epic looking fight that is suddenly being broadcast, a Larvitar, Stufful and Tyrunt all getting pretty violent with one another.

But they aren't fighting like most Pokemon do. No, this trio is utilizing wrestling moves.

Whoever is filming is clearly floating as the view is slightly overhead, the trio flipping one another over and slamming each other into the ground. The Larvitar in particular seems to be really giving the others a run for their money, grabbing the Stufful and piledriving him into the ground. She let's out a roar and goes after the Tyrunt, grabbing the Dino by the snout and trying to flip her over only to get knocked backwards by a fierce headbutt.

Something hits the ground and bounces away just before the Larvitar launches at the Tyrunt again, both parties striking each other hard as the Stufful launches himself off a rock now that he's got his bearings back--

And then the video is filled with bright light and the roars get louder.

There's a thunderous crack as the Stufful--no that's a Bewear--is slammed into the boulder he launched himself off of then a roar as the Larvitar turned Tyranitar is knocked to the ground, the Tyrunt turned Tyrantrum standing over them looking quite proud.]

What in the hell??

[The camera turns around and there stands Noctis, eyes wide as he stares at the scene before him.]

Oh shi--

"Yeah. Yep, you kinda are." Ash couldn't help but agree, needing to change his stance to brace for Amicitia's bouncing and to help keep Noctis up. It was taking a few minutes for the whole picture to really sink in. But when it did, another thing hit him. An Tintreach. His ridiculous, adorable little wrestler...had spoken to Kitty after the wrestling video. He thought Noctis had been there but he must have not. So that could mean... "Ur...when did they start wrestling like that?"

Oblivious to their trainer's woes, An Tintreach bumped her head to Kitty's affectionately, even giving her a little nuzzle (minus the electricity). "You're all so amazing. You're living giants! Now I'm going to have to try and catch up!"

"A couple months ago, I think?" Noctis mused, giving Ash a curious look. "Why?"

Someone had no idea about a certain Pikachu's influence on his trio.

"You will, An Tintreach! Just because we're bigger doesn't mean we're better," Kitty rumbled, turning to keep An Tintreach to herself as Amicitia tried to reach for her.

"Quit hogging Mentor!"

Shit. Ash debated with himself. Noctis seemed ignorant of it...but well. How long would he stay ignorant once he saw An Tintreach battle...give how his huge-ass Pokemon were currently - wait was the Tyranitar trying to keep An Tintreach to herself fromt he Bewear? Jesus Christ. Yeah he'd learned from hiding things from his Dad. Best to confess at this point.

"Ur...heh cos ur. That might have been when I showed An Tintreach wrestling on the network. And ur...Kitty answered. I thought you were there so I just left them on the Gear together." He's leeeeaning slightly back with a deeply sheepish look.

An Tintreach meanwhile, we just so happy. "Still! I want to be able to roughhouse with you guys while being the same size!" She beamed. They had battled together a bit and she had loved every second of it. She popped her head from Kitty's side to see Amicitia too. She would make sure everyone got a chance to be with her!

Insert a long stare here because Ash. Ash he is going to kick your ass.

"You left them alone on the network." Did he get that right? Is he understanding what happened? Without another word Noct grabs Ash in a headlock, ruffling up his hair. "You are in so much trouble, you ass!"

He's not really upset. Just..this is a lot to deal with all at once, okay. He already had a Snorlax and three Gyarados. Now he's got these three to add to the giant club.

Amicitia took the opportunity and swept her away from Kitty so he could nuzzle her too, holding her up on his paws so Crowe could love on her as well.

"I bet you could still beat us, Mentor!" she roared, probably deafening An Tintreach and Amicitia in the process.

"I'm sorry man, I honestly thought you were there in the background!" He had backed up, considering running when Noctis got him in the headlock. But he didn't turn tail and Noctis got him. It didn't hurt but he still tried to wiggle out "Aaaah-! I didn't realise like, the three of them had become wrestlers either! Until I saw it RIGHT NOW!"

While Ash was being 'embraced' by Noctis, An Tintreach nuzzled Amicitia and then Crowe, spreading the love around. At the roar she laughed, ears flattening from the sheer volume. "We'll soon see! But first I just wanna see you all! you all look so mighty, like champions! When you enter the ring, everyone will know they're in the presence of legends!"

"Do you realize how many broken hotel beds I've had to pay for?" Noctis said through a laugh he couldn't hold back anymore. Honestly all the destruction they had caused was pretty funny, most of the time. But god Ignis was going to hate them even more now.

The trio all struck various poses as they were praised, Kitty especially going a bit over the top because oh did she love impressing An Tintreach.

"No one can stop us."

"Yeah! We're stronger than everybody!"

"Except Mentor!"

Oh yeah, that was a problem. Ash had tried to make a good impression with Ignis but this was going to flush all that effort down the shitter. Welp. "No! But I don't even let An Tintreach out in a hotel room!" He learned very quickly the kind of damages his dumbass Pikachu caused when she got excited in a hotel room.

He managed to look up and pointed at them. "Look how much they love her though!"

An Tintreach jumped to Kitty, landing on her arm. "We'll conquer the world! There'll be no stopping us!" she hopped down and struck her own pose. It look hilarious to see this little Pikachu posturing alongside three giants...just as adorable as it was to see these three giant Pokemon love on her.

"I tried not to let them out but once Kitty gets herself out she lets the others out," Noctis groaned, shaking his head but it was all for show because he really did love his little--giant troublemakers.

"..They really do, don't they?" He can't help but grin, letting Ash's neck go so it wasn't a headlock any more and instead just his arm around the other's shoulders. "It's kind of adorable."

The trio let out various roars and cheers of their own, so extremely pleased to have their mentor there with them--to have her approve like she did.

"We should celebrate!" Amicitia declared, punching his paws together. "Celebration match!"

Ash managed to straighten up a little, still feeling a bit sheepish but smiling and watching their Pokemon play. "It straight up is adorable."

An Tintreach nodded to them eagerly, jumping up in excitement. "A free for all! And when I evolve, we'll have a tag battle!" Then she'll be as big as them! She got into a battle ready stance, bouncing on her feet. She'd loved training with them when they were the same size and she clearly wasn't put off by being so small compared to them!

"Yeah, okay, it is adorable. There's no denying it," Noct mused, fighting back a laugh as An Tinreach struck her pose.

Only..

Shit.

"Guys! Let's not--"

Whatever Noct was going to say is cut off as trio all strike poses of their own before the clash begins, the concept of not fighting foreign to them.

Ash made the smartest decision he probably would ever make regarding An Tintreach and these three giants of Pokemon; and just grabbed Noct and pulled him back. Nope. He's not interrupting that shit. He knew what his Pikachu was capable of, and he's not gonna get in the way of trio of big-ass fighters either.

Because An Tintreach certainly wasn't listening and gave a cheer as she ran in to start the match. "For glory!"
