Hey Guys, it's Jeff here with another story for you.
I have to say, my previous story I have written was very successful. Thank you all so much for the support!
Anyways, I just had my GCSE ISA today, so I decided to start this story off to relieve the stress and pressure off for the past few days.
Let's get to reading...
(Ash's House in Pallet Town)
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded his Pokémon with confidence and an expectation that this was the final move that will finish his gruelling battle against Alain with his Mega Evolved Charizard, being the most powerful Pokémon that has ever entered in the Kalos League.
"You know what to do." Alain said in a calm and peaceful tone that Charizard responded with a loud roar of determination.
Pikachu gave off the most powerful Thunderbolt attack it could have possibly produced from its body to put into this final attack that will decide everything. It had hit Charizard with full force – it was a clean and accurate hit. However, Charizard had returned with a Flamethrower attack that had direct contact to Pikachu which had sent both exhausted Pokémon down towards the ground and landed in the battlefield harsh, rough battlefield that produced a large dust cloud.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled out to his partner amidst the dust cloud to see if he is all right, to see if he had survived that fall and let him be able to continue.
Alain just stood there with a grin in his face, but was soon wiped off when he discovered that Charizard had changed into its normal form and was lying face down into the ground, whereas Pikachu was standing strong using its right paw to hold its body up.
"It cannot be." Alain said with a tone of disappointment, losing to a Pikachu that cannot even Mega Evolve, only chosen by 'natural selection' as he phrased himself.
Ash ran towards Pikachu and wrapped it around in his arms, zeeing if he is all right, whilst the commentator shouted with joy of Ash's victory, as he thought it wouldn't have been possible, and the referee saying "Charizard is unable to continue, so Pikachu wins, and Ash of Pallet Town wins the match!" This received a warming cheer from the crowd who was watching all around the stadium and especially at home…
"Ash! Ash, wake up!" Delia shouted, trying to wake up Ash by rocking him backwards and forwards. "You're dreaming about the Kalos League again, aren't you?"
Ash shot up and immediately glanced at his clock displaying 10:27a.m. He had overslept, as he was tired from his five hour journey to get home to Kanto. He had just come back from his one and a half year journey travelling with the Kalos gang – consisting of Clemont, Bonnie and Serena.
"I think I was, sorry mum. So, what's for lunch?" Ash apologised and hoped that she will forgive him for oversleeping, as he was looking forward to eating one of his mum's specialty dishes that you can only find in the Kanto region, as he had missed Kanto's delicacies during his journey.
"You're right it's lunch. I have some noodles and dumplings downstairs" Delia replied as Ash returned with a discontented look, as he was looking forward to a feast instead on welcoming him back. "But first, have a shower. You smell a bit."
Ash stood up feeling drowsy and giving off large yawns that could be heard from downstairs, as complained, and rushed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. He turned on the tap and water gushed out of the shower head and drenched him. He noticed that the water was warm, as the Pokémon Center's showers were always cold that made him shiver a while afterwards, and was happy for that. He then saw Pikachu running towards him and jumped onto his shoulder, which was a mistake as he too became wet.
"Pika-pika?" "What's wrong, Ash?" Pikachu asked with worry at its trainer as it noticed that Ash was full of thought.
"You know Pikachu; we should have won that League." Ash said with an assuring tone, so he will stop Pikachu worrying about him; but he can't stop thinking about it.
"Pika. Pika-pika, Pikachu." "Forget about it. There's always next time." Pikachu replied with loyalty, comforting its trainer as he knew that Ash had come so far to lose, but it happened.
"I suppose. Thanks, Pikachu." Ash now just focused taking a shower, not thinking of Pikachu missing its Thunderbolt attack, as he remembered Charizard dodging and returning a powerful Flamethrower instead to counter. He was very disappointed to losing after coming that far with his training.
"There you are. Wow, that was a quick shower." Delia exclaimed with shock as she didn't expect Ash to be rushing his first day back. She suspects that he is already planning his next journey, as he always does as he never changes.
"Well, what's to eat?" Ash asked with politeness, trying to be kind to his mum for oversleeping, as he knew that she didn't like him oversleeping, but what can you do. He tucked into the warm noodles that were served in a bowl and large dumplings in a separate plate on the side.
"So, could you talk about your journey?" Delia asked with curiosity, as she suspects that something's up. As Ash arrived in Kanto, she saw that he had a tear in his eye, probably along the lines of leaving his friends or was it something else?
"I travelled with these amazing people. They were very supportive during my gym battles and also helped me during my training exercises. Also, we helped each other out from time to time when we were in trouble, we always work together and more importantly travelled together." Ash responded with glee, trying to remember the good times he had spent with his companions in his journey. He just cannot get over the fact that their time together has come to an end.
"Well, can you describe your friends?" Delia asked with even more curiosity, as she now has her suspicion was at its peak.
"Clemont and Bonnie were the first people I encountered when I first arrived. As I wanted to have a gym battle right away, I challenged the Lumiose gym as it was the closest; but Pikachu and I were rejected and were thrown out. Clemont and Bonnie kindly stepped in and saved us from our fall." Ash explained.
"Clemont is this great inventor. He always invents these cool things that I believe is amazing, but always blew up after a minute's usage. He also was the first trainer that I had battled with, not knowing he was the gym leader of the Lumiose gym." Ash continued.
"And Bonnie?" Delia asked having a suspicious look at Ash, which startled him.
"Bonnie is Clemont's younger sister. She was a 'cheeky monkey' that always comes up to girls and proposes to them on behalf of her brother, as she said that someone needs to 'take care of him'. Also, she thinks that all Pokémon are cute and nice, but sometimes have doubts on that." Ash has now finished his noodles as well as his dumplings and turned to his hot chocolate that was prepared by a moment ago.
"Was there another person?" Delia asked, trying to rush Ash with his answers, which didn't please him at all.
"Yes. There was Serena. She was always kind to all of us and always cheered me on during my gym battles. She is also an awesome baker, as she baked these Poképuffs, which I found delicious. However, when she was close to me, I noticed that she starts to blush subtly and acts shy – I don't know why." Ash now confused on what he had just said. He said to himself not to mention that bit, but he still did.
"It's because she has feelings for you." Delia responded with happiness shown in her face, as Ash has a girl that has a crush with him (like that ever happened in his other journeys). "But I cannot believe you're still dense as ever."
"What?" Ash protested with embarrassment and blushes slightly, which Delia noticed. He had face palmed himself for his density, as it had costed him a girl that could have been his girlfriend.
"Ash, I think that you also have feelings for Serena." Delia said, satisfied that her curiosity and suspicion paid off, she had discovered something interesting that she won't get over easily.
"Fine. You got me. I think that Serena is a loving and caring person, who I find also very cute – especially with her Fennekin costume. I want her back in my life. I miss her so much… I love Serena." Ash said with an ashamed voice that was only audible to Delia's ears, as he was filled with embarassment.
"I think that you just made a confession to me without realising it. Wow Ash, you have grown up a lot. I'm gonna leave you alone for a minute to not embarrass you even more." Delia exclaimed with joy, she was proud on how Ash had grown up on going in this journey.
Delia stood up from her wooden chair with the matching dining table and left an embarrassed Ash all by himself. She walked to the hallway and grabbed the landline telephone and dialled a number onto the digital display and the phone started its dialling tone.
Wow, that was long! :)
I predict that this will be at least 5 chapters long and will take at least a few days to complete. This is because all of the chapters that I plan on doing are all going to be long, so please wait patiently.
This is going to be an interesting story, as most inspiration I have in this story is actually from the anime (as I have been watching a lot of it) and some fan-art.
Please continue your support like last time; such as doing reviews etc; for more chapters to come!
Anyways, I will see you all in the next chapter.
See ya! Have a great day!
