Sinnoh Adventures: My Snow Maiden

by Darkrai Master34

After Ash defeats Candice and earns his seventh Gym Badge, Candice starts feeling something for him and decides to travel with him. But as new emotions arise within the team, things get a shoddy bit worse as Ash's old crush, a certain Trainer, who comes back to travel with him again and a new criminal organization is formed, can the team save themselves and Sinnoh? Rated for reason

1. Chapter 1: Battles and Feelings

Hello! This is my second story and I hope you won't be too harsh.

Since I ran out of good ideas for my other story, I decided to make this first to refresh my imagination engine... You know, that kind of thing. Aaannnd, this story was inspired by TheOriginalLegendaryMaster's (who is now The Perfect Replica) A Snowflake Burns: My Snow Angel and Chieko Kawabe's Be Your Girl. How? I have no idea...

The main pairings in the story are:

Ash x Candice: SnowballShipping (that's what it's called right?)

Candice x Ash x Misty (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA gotta love these triangles, they're darn fun to mess with!)

Ash x Dawn: PearlShipping (actually in here they're more of chums...)

Ash x Misty: PokéShipping (It's actually VERY minor fluff)

May x I have no idea...

Cynthia x Ash (random thought)

Brock x ?

Hahaha lol... Anyway, I tweaked the ages a bit to suit the fic...

Ash- 14-15

Candice- 14

Dawn- 13

Misty- 14

Brock- 18

May- 13

Cynthia- 17 (Whatttt?)

Yeah, how are they even gonna contact May when she's all the way in Hoenn? Well, don't any of you remember Brock's PokéGear? Well, that problem's solved... Bad thing: May's not even gonna appear directly in the fic... Aw...

Alrighty now, the intro is almost over and I would like to say this before I do the fic, this is an Ash x Candice fic. 'nuff said.

Wait, almost forgot:

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. All rights go to Nintendo and GameFreak. The only thing I own is the plot and an OC character I'll introduce later.

Finally the intro's done thank Arceus... :p

Now, the first Chapter.

Chapter 1

Battles and Feelings

BAM

Ash gritted his teeth, his Grotle had just gone down from the Snowpoint City Gym Leader's Abomasnow's Wood Hammer. He was down on one Pokémon now. "Looks like I'm back with Chimchar..." Ash thought bitingly, remembering his previous strategy on setting Chimchar on the Abomasnow but recalled the Fire Pokémon after seeing that Chimchar would probably struggle against it.

"And now I'm left with Chimchar. New strategy..." Ash thought to himself, pulling out Grotle's Poké Ball, glaring a bit at Abomasnow's gloating figure and The Diamond Dust Girl's slightly smug face. "Come on Grotle buddy, time for a rest." Ash said, holding out Grotle's Poké Ball. Grotle gave a small, weak but slightly happy cry and disappeared in a flash of light into the ball.

Ash then pocketed it and looked at Candice. "Come on Ash, are we gonna finish this battle?" Candice mused, tilting her head a bit at him, smiling innocently. Ash twitched a bit. He was used to taunts made by Gym Leaders, but this one seemed to irk him even more than the others. There were also several reasons why he couldn't lose to Candice,The Snowpoint Gym Leader, The Diamond Dust Girl.

One, she was much younger than him by at least a couple of months and shorter than him by 5 inches. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you were much older than this little girl and you get beaten? Then your manliness, rep and ego would be so very much threatened.

Two, he needed this Badge. Sure, he hadn't lost YET, but his pride was in the way and he did not want to lose.

Three, losing would cause him too much time. If he lost and had a rematch which would take a few days at least when the Pokémon League was eight weeks away, he wouldn't be able to enter the Sunyshore Gym if he was late since it would be closed for the Pokémon League, he wouldn't he able to enter the League at all.

Ash smiled grimly and took out Chimchar's Poké Ball. "My trump card is out again I guess..." Ash thought, then threw Chimchar's Poké Ball up high.

"Go Chimchar!" Ash yelled.

Chimchar quickly appeared in a flash of light, looking considerably fresher than Ash. Chimchar was his last chance to win this match.

"First step: Go on the offense. I need to use speed..." Ash thought to himself, sizing up the Abomasnow. Big, bulky, no match for speed.

Chimchar spotted Abomasnow leering at him and quickly assumed a battle pose.

"Chimchar, use Flamethrower!" Ash shouted.

"Not a chance Ash, Abomasnow, counter it with Blizzard!" Candice yelled.

Chimchar quickly sucked up the gases stored in his belly and powered up a Flamethrower, sending a tunnel of white-hot flame at Abomasnow. The Abomasnow sees the fire and also gathers the energy for the Blizzard, in turn, sending a gust of frigid, cold wind mixed with hail at Chimchar's Flamethrower, completely swallowing the smaller tunnel of fire and headed for Chimchar's way.

"Oookayy... Offensive didn't work yet, but it's walked into the trap. Time for Phase Two." Ash thought with a bit of a smug triumph, quickly diminishing it.

"Dodge the Blizzard Chimchar!" Ash yelled, his voice a bit hoarse from the biting cold of the Blizzard.

Chimchar quickly leapt away, backwards from the Blizzard. In a slightly unfortunate twist, Chimchar hit the ice boulder behind himself, dazing the Chimp Pokémon a bit. Chimchar quickly recovered before the Abomasnow could sewhim dazed and did his attack pose again.

"Alright Abomasnow, let's wrap this up! Use Ice Shard!" Candice shouted, looking a tad too pleased with herself.

The Abomasnow immediately sent a flurry of ice shards at Chimchar, nearly catching the frisky Fire-Type off-guard but managed to leap forward away from the Ice Shard and onto another (surprisingly intact) ice boulder.

Ash was slowly losing his cool over the battle. The Abomansnow kept sending flurry after flurry of Ice Shard at Chimchar who was trying very hard to dodge the ice shards by jumping from boulder to boulder, flat out avoiding the floor as it was made of ice, Chimchar would slip like as if he's been eating too much.

Ash stole a glance at the Abomasnow's facial expression. It was looking down triumphantly at Chimchar while chuckling deeply all the while.

"Come on now Ash, think of a better part for Phase Three..." Ash thought, looking at poor Chimchar who was panting from exhaustion and the advancing Abomasnow who was chuckling. He knew he needed speed.

Then the lucky breakthrough.

Ash put a note on how the Abomasnow crushed a chunk of ice underfoot. Then he remembered on how Sneasel traveled so fast on the ice.

"Chimchar! Jump on that ice block over there and board around Abomasnow!" Ash yelled.

Chimchar quickly jumped onto the ice block, knowing what Ash wanted him to do. He kicks off from the board and skidded around the Abomasnow who looked really frustrated.

"Let's finish this Chimchar! Use Flame Wheel!"

Chimchar suddenly leapt from his improvised snowboard and started spinning, covering himself in flames and then crashing into Abomasnow's chest.

The Abomasnow's feet suddenly slid out from underneath and was sent to the other side of the arena.

The Abomasnow quickly regained it's footing, digging it's heels into the cracked ice and grabbed the Flame Wheel in an effort to stop it. Result; the Abomasnow's hand partially melted, creating a HUGE billow of steam.

Chimchar immediately jumped off the Abomasnow's chest and looked carefully into the steam. The Abomasnow was still standing. Just as Chimchar was preparing another attack, the Abomasnow pitched forward, fainted.

The result?

Ash winning the Icicle Badge.

BOOM! HEADSHOT!

Was it a good chapter? Yeah I know modeled the battle after the real one in the episode but it was still good no? Well, I only put the battle scene here but I PROMISE I'll put all the fluff in the next ones.

Till next time! Darkrai Master34, signing off.
