"We're almost there," stated a very proper green haired young man.
"Great I can't wait to see Iris again!" cheered a jet blacked messy haired boy as he pumped his fist in the air.
The two boys were none other than Cilan and Ash. Cilan was wearing a pair of black dress pants, but instead of his usual vest and white shirt he wore a plain green dress shirt and a white tie. Ash on the other hand was sporting a pair of black cargo pants, a blue tee shirt, a pair of fingerless gloves, and his Kalos hat. The duo had recently joined up on the way to the village of dragons to meet up with their old friend Iris.
"Are you upset about having to put off your Kalos travels for this?" inquired Cilan, striking up conversation.
"Not really, though the guys were really sad to see me leave for the week, especially Serena," Ash answered shrugging off the giggled.
"What?" asked Ash not understanding his friend's laughter.
"Oh, nothing Ash you will figure it out one day," Cilan answered putting his hand behind his head trying to control his fit of laughs.
"What do you mean by that Cilan?" questioned Ash raising an eyebrow at his green haired friend.
"I just meant to imply that you're a little too young and too…well Ashy, so to speak, to understand what I'm talking about," answered Cilan, but upon saying that he realized he made a mistake, but a too late.
"Too Ashy?! What does that even mean? I'm old enough to know a lot of things! In fact I already know a lot of things!" Ash stated puffing out his chest a little.
"That's not what I meant by you're too young to understand," Cilan said, but then he mentally face smacked himself for not stopping himself again.
"What were you trying say then?" Ash asked, pushing the topic farther than Cilan was hoping to go.
"Nothing it's just not for little kids", Cilan said, but then slapped his hands over his mouth realizing the infamous phrase he had just quoted out of panic and habit of hearing.
"I'M NOT A LITTLE KID!" Ash shouted, obviously agitated by the phrase.
"Sorry Ash I didn't mean to call you that, it was a force of habit after hearing it so often. It just seemed like the time Iris would say it," Cilan said sweatdropping as he tried to calm Ash down a bit
"Oh, is that all?" Ash asked his frown turning into a smile; he gave a small laugh, "For a second there I thought it was actually just an insult!" Ash seemed to have wiped the event out of his head pretty quickly, causing Cilan to roll his eyes in slight annoyance.
"Okay, how about we stop for a bit to eat quick meal so we're not hungry when we get to the Village of Dragons?" Cilan suggested, trying to change the subject.
Ash opened his mouth but his answer can from his stomach in the form of a low rumbling sound. "I'll take that as a yes, "said Cilan with a chuckle, leaving an embarrassed Ash no room to argue over the topic, if he wanted to that was.
Soon Cilan had a pot of stew cooking on the outdoor stove while Ash was doing some training with his Pokémon along with just some plan old messing around, for fun.
'I wonder if Ash likes Iris…I mean he left a journey Kalos region just so he could come and see her…and the Ash I know does not normally do that…' thought Cilan with a small smile on his face.
"Pan pansage!" spoke the small grass monkey like Pokémon pulling Cilan from his thoughts.
"Oh, thank you Pansage I almost burned the stew," Cilan said, thanking Pansage as he sweatdropped a little bit.
After a little while Cilan called, "Food's ready!" Although they were only two words they were enough to make a group of pokemon stampede in a dangerous manor. Because of the stampede the green haired connoisseur soon found himself cowering behind the stove table his hair slightly messed up from almost being trampled to death.
"I guess something's never change," groaned Cilan as he stood up from behind the table. Though someone was missing, and that something was Ash, "It isn't like Ash to miss a meal," Cilan said to himself as he scoped the landscape, only to find Ash laying in the shade of a nearby tree.
Wondering what could be the matter Cilan started over to his raven haired friend, "Hey Ash, lunch just started aren't you hungry?" questioned Cilan.
Ash jumped upon hearing Cilan's voice, "Oh! Um…h-how stupid of m-me! Er…I'll go eat rig-right now!" Ash stammered while at the same time placed an item behind his backed. He quickly got up as he strolled over to the table. Cilan arched an eyebrow. What was that in Ash's hand? And was he blushing?
Later after a very interesting lunch the two were back on the road again towards the Village of Dragons.
"So, Ash what were you doing by that tree before lunch?"Cilan finally asked
"Oh that? T-That wa-was…er um…nothing! Y-Yeah that was…just nothing… nothing at all, what so ever!" Ash answered stuttering a little. Cilan was now intrigued, what was Ash doing that he was so unwilling to tell about.
"You sure it was nothing?", Cilan pushed.
"Yeah totally! What is there something on your mind about the whole thing?" Ash asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh it's nothing it just-OH look the Village of Dragons!" luckily for Cilan the village really was there. And just like that, Ash forgot all about the topic and took off running at full speed yelling with happiness and excitement, followed by Cilan who was trying to keep up with his friend's pace, laughing slight to himself at Ash's simplicity and very short attention span. 'Maybe one day he will understand what I was trying to tell him and maybe then he'll tell me what it was he was doing by that tree,' Cilan thought to himself as the Village of Dragons got closer into view, and Ash got farther away from him.
As the two finally entered the village, Iris's hometown, Ash slowed down to view the sites and let a very winded Cilan reach him, and so he could catch his breath. The Village of Dragons was beautiful, everywhere there were dragon type Pokemon! There were small dragon types like Axews, Drantinies, Bagon and Denios. There were dragon types that were a little larger such as Fraxures, Gabites, Altarias and Zweilous. And of course there were huge dragon types like Dragonites, Salamences, Flygons Haxoruses. All the dragon types were enjoying the lovely sun shiny weather, some were playing, others practicing their moves with one another and a few could be seen dozing in the warm sun's rays. The buildings in the village were all colorful and had markings on the sides in unique patterns. In the center of the village the large black and white statues of Zekrom and Reshiram could be seen from on top of any hill. The Village of Dragons was located on rolling hills covered in lush green grass and with an assortment of beautiful flowers dotted the landscape. The entire village was surrounded by a large forest of many species of trees and off in the not too far distant was a range of snow tipped mountains zigzagging the beautiful scenery.
Ash just stood there taking in the sights and smells of the village, it was a beautiful place to visit none the less live in. Iris was surely a lucky girl to have grown up in the village.
"Cilan were finally here!" Ash announced taking deep breath as he took in all the sights and smells.
"Yeah...su-sure... A-Ash..." Cilan panted, flopping down on his back in the green grass, "Just...y-you kn-know...g-give me a second...t-to catch my brea-breath,"
"Hey you're here!" yelled a voiced from up on the hill. They both turned to see a magenta haired girl, with pale skin, and blue eyes jogging down the hill with the wide grin on her face. She ran and jumped into a hug with Ash.
"Nice to see you too Shannon, I see you're not so shy anymore," greeted Cilan standing up from the grass.
Shannon suddenly release her grip on Ash, "It's nice to see both of you guys," she said, smiling
"Yeah, nice to see you Shannon, and I see you've done some stuff with your hair, it looks nice", Ash complimented.
"Oh, well thanks Ash," Shannon said, her cheeks flushing somewhat.
But it was true Shannon had changed since the last time they had visited the Village of Dragons. Instead of wearing her two toned blue dress she wore pair of big slackly jeans and a short sleeve green top. On one wrist she had a purple bracelet that was decorated with a yellow swirly design and a small pouch strapped to her side. Shannon's magenta colored hair was also done nicely in two small French braids.
"Si-Since when did you start noticing things like that Ash?" Cilan asked a little shocked by Ash's statement.
"What do you mean Cilan? I was just being nice," answered Ash casually.
"Well, I guess you're here to see Iris and her friend Dusk, I believe is her name, I should lead you to Iris's house!" Shannon said with a grin, the blush from Ash's complement still visible on her cheeks.
"Yeah, and I wonder who this Dusk is that's friends with Iris I hope there interesting and strong, because if they are I'm up for a battle," shouted Ash pumping his fist in the air.
"I guess a lot of things haven't changed," shrugged Cilan as the three began to make their way towards the center of the Village of Dragons. To meet up with Iris and her friend Dusk
