Hello everybody! Sorry for the long wait. I had a very bad writer's block. Now on with the story!

It had been two years since the incident, and everything seemed to go back to normal. Ash decided to stop traveling and stayed in Viridian City, where he became the gym leader. Ash and I started living together in Viridian. Due to the gym being so big, we live there, not only that, but we had a few rooms to spare! So I took my research and called it my mini lab.

I still go back to Gramps' place and do some research there, due to the fact I still don't know what type of research I'll do. Ash visits his mom a lot, but only on the days when he knows that there will be no challengers. He is very dedicated to his new occupation, to my surprise.

It is five o'clock in the morning, and I have to go to Gramps' place and help him out. He is growing really… how should I say this… old, to say it bluntly. Not only that, but he wants company. Ash just woke and and got dressed in his usual attire: jeans and the first shirt he touched in his closet, which happened to be one of my old purple shirts. And man, did he look good! Who knew he would look good in purple.

"Good morning, Gary." Chimed Ash as he walked into the kitchen and started to take out some stuff to make breakfast. Since he thought I have enough to worry about, he took the liberty to do the house work. And that includes cooking.

"Morning. Sleep well?"

"Like a rock. What would you like? I went shopping earlier yesterday, so we have a lot." Did I mention he did the shopping too? He is so much like his mother.

"Whatever sounds good to you." I told him as he gave me a grin. He kissed my lips softly and turned to the fridge and took out some eggs.

"Eggs and bacon?" he asked, his head peering into the insides of the fridge. I nodded, but when I realized that he can't see me, I answered, "Yes, sounds very good in fact." I slipped my sleeve up to look at my wrist watch. It is five thirty.

Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door was heard. Ash set the food down and went to the front door. I heard the door open and a frantic voice. I got up and went to the front door as well, to find a young girl, holding her hurt ratata. Her face covered in tears, "Please, help my Ratata!"

Ash allowed her in, I led her to the living room in which she sat. Ash ran the Ratata to the lab. After getting the young girl situated, I ran to the lab to help the Ratata. It seemed to have been in a really rough battle. Fortunately, I was able to heal the poor thing. Ash went back to the girl, who said her name was Trixie. She was a new trainer, who came from Pewter. After returning her Ratata, she seemed at ease now. She must really care for her Pokémon.

"It was a group of bad people, they wanted to steal my Ratata!" I think I know where this is going.

"What did they look like?" I asked, she looked up, in thought.

"One was a woman, another was a man… oh, and they also had a talking Meowth." I knew it! Team Rocket, still at their bad schemes as always.

"Team Rocket, they are a group of bad people who steal other people's Pokémon to take over the world." Ash explained. Her face showed the face of realization, her mouth a small "o", she was listening.

"Are you the gym leader?" she asked Ash. Ash nodded.

"Then I challenge you to a battle!"

"Alright, I will meet you in the next door to your right." He said as he pointed down a long hallway which lead to the lab, bedrooms, and the gym. She nodded and jogged down the hallway. Ash looked at me, "Sorry, guess you are going alone."

"No problem, don't go easy on her." I winked at him as he gave me a small chuckle, "Why would I?" Ash replied, then kissed me.

"Have a good time with the professor." He said as he gave me a goodbye hug. I hugged him back, "I will."

Ash's POV

Now, that Gary is gone, I better go to the gym. I had her waiting long enough. I walked down the hallway and reached the door to the gym. I opened it, and revealed the large battle arena. My gym was the last one you battle. But my gym is a little different than most.

"Trixie, I will give you a choice."

"A… choice?" she stuttered. I pressed a button on my side of the gym, and a pedestal appeared on her side. This pedestal had a touch screen on it, which included three choices: water field, volcano field, and meadow field.

"You can choose the stadium."

"Ok." I saw her finger touch the screen and the stadium started to change. The meadow field, how typical. I saw she had a confident smirk and fire in her eyes. I chuckled, as I took a pokeball from my belt.

"Two Pokémon each, the gym leader cannot substitute, last Pokémon standing wins. Agreed?"

"Agreed." She unleashed her Ratata. It got into a fighting stance, ready for flight. I threw my pokeball to reveal Galvantula.

"What is that Pokémon?" she took out her pink pokedex, after a little bit, she had confusion.

"Galvantula is a Unovan Pokémon. I will give you a hint, it is an electric, bug type." Her confused face turned into a one of shock.

Ever since Lt. Surge retired, Kanto needed a new gym leader… an electric one too. So I stepped in to "save the day". After a lot of paper work, I was assigned the job.

"Shall we begin?"

"Heck yeah!" she yelled.

"Ratata, use tackle!" the mouse looking pokemon sprinted forward, "Galvantula, dodge."

Galvantula dodged with ease.

"Galvantula, use electro web." The spider Pokémon shot out a yellow electrified web. It hit Ratata dead on. Its speed was dropped and it was stuck in place.

"Thunder." I ordered and a lightning bolt was shot at the Ratata. After the smoke cleared, Ratata had swirls in its eyes. Ash one, Trixie zero. Trixie called her fallen Pokémon back, muttered something through the pokeball, then placing the pokeball on her belt. She grabbed her final Pokémon and threw it. It was a Hypno.

"Hypno, physic!" the Hypno glowed a light purple, so did Galvantula. Galvantula was raised into the air, and then slammed back onto the ground with an astounding force. The smoke cleared and Galvantula was unable to battle. It is now tied.

I called Galvantula back, "You did great, now take a good rest." I placed the pokeball back on my belt and looked to my side. "Ready, buddy?" I asked my yellow furry friend, Pikachu. It looked up at me and smiled with determination.

"Pika!" It exclaimed and jumped onto the grassy field. Due to Pikachu being a small size, the grass is too tall for Hypno to see where Pikachu is. This will be finished quickly.

"Pikachu, quick attack!" I saw Hypno struggle, it hit.

"Again, Pikachu!" Hypno struggled again.

"Hypno, when Pikachu hits you, use physic!" It nodded at Trixie's command, now standing ready. Pikachu, now on my side of the field waited for my order. I decided to wait, see if she slips up. I saw her face grow impatient.

"Hypno, charge into the grass!" Hypno did so, but that was the wrong choice.

"Pikachu, electro ball now!" I saw Trixie have a face of shock. Pikachu had already launched the attack, and she had no time to deliver a command. The powerful move hit… the smoke cleared, and Hypno is still standing.

"Hypno is strong, I will give you that."

"Of course, Hypno was my first pokemon that I caught. I caught it when it was a Drowzee.

"You trained it well. But do you think it can beat me?"

"I… I think so—"

"You think so? Is there something that you are lacking, that Hypno is lacking?"

"N-No… it's just… I am not who you think I am." That struck me like a rock in the face. What does she mean?

"I am so sorry about this… Hypno, you know what to do." Hypno started to glow a white, suddenly the whole room was nothing was a bright white light. I squinted to try and see what is going on, but then it was too late. Everything turned black.

"I am sorry."
