Disclaimer: I do not own any of the pokemon characters. I only own Kevin Silverblade.
Ash, Misty, Tracy and Duplica come back from the orange islands and are heading towards Vermilion City. "Pika!" Of course you're with them Pikachu, as with all of the other Pokemon that Ash, Misty and the whole group has. Don't worry your little head off Pikachu. Ash, Misty, Tracy, Kevin and Duplica are 15. Forgive me if I'm a bit inaccurate.
Bold is for thoughts.
----------
"Ash, why are we going to Vermilion City?" Misty asked.
"Because there is a big Pokemon convention there. It's an event I can't miss." As the four walked on someone approached them. He had black jeans and a blue T-shirt on. He had some brand new sneakers on. He had black hair and some noticeable muscles (Not like those huge bodybuilders BTW.) He had on his belt a few blue and white pokeballs except for a silver plated one. Like Ash he too has a Pikachu outside a pokeball.
"Are any of you Ash Ketchum or at least seen him?" The stranger asked the group.
"I am." Ash anwsered. "Who's asking?"
"I'm Kevin Silverblade. Has any of you heard of me?"
"No." They all said.
"Hmm..." He turned to Ash. "Well I've heard of you Ash."
"Hey guys! Did you hear that? I'm famous." Ash proudly said to his friends.
"There goes Ash again." Misty said.
"Yeah well I'm famous too by the way. Well I'm here to challenge Ash." Kevin started. "Are you up to it?"
"I'm always up for a pokemon battle."
"Good. How about 2-vs-2 battle?"
"Sounds good to me! Let's battle." As Ash and Kevin got ready for battle, Misty, Tracy and Duplica had a little chit-chat.
Tracy: Ash seems to be confidant enough to battle.
Misty: He always confidant when battling. I wonder how is his style of fighting is like.
Duplica: He looks kinda cute.
Misty: Who? Ash?
Duplica: I meant Kevin. Why did you think I meant Ash?
Misty: Uhh...I thought you were looking at Ash. That was close.
Duplica: And if I was, what would you do, Misty.
Misty: Uh oh. I don't care if you were looking at Ash or not.
Duplica: Sure, Misty.
Tracy whispered something to Duplica. "We both know that Misty likes Ash."
"Yeah but do we know that Ash likes her back?" Duplica replied back to Tracy.
"I'm working on it. Let's just watch the battle."
"Hey! What are you two whispering about?" Misty started. "If Duplica can hear it then why can't I?"
"Just watch the battle Misty." Tracy told Misty.
"I choose you Bulbasaur." Ash called out as he threw his pokeball in the air and Bulbasaur came out.
"Hmm..." Kevin pulled out a pokeball and tossed it in the air. A Starmie came out. "Okay Starmie, you know what to do."
"What?" Tracy said surprised at what Kevin did. "He's not even giving his pokemon an order."
"And it's a water type against a grass type. How does Kevin expect to win?" Duplica said.
"All right Bulbasaur! This should be easy. Bulbasaur, Razor Leaf now!"
"Bulba!" Bulbasaur was about to attack when Starmie did Psychic. Bulbasaur was tossed hard against a tree. He was out of the match.
Misty, Tracy and Duplica stared amazed and still wondering what happened.
Tracy: Whoa!
Duplica: What the?!
Misty: Huh?!
"Bulbasaur, return!" Ash called back his Bulbasaur. His pokemon are powerful. I better be careful. "I choose Squritle!" The Squritle came out of it's pokeball. "Aright use skull bash!"
"It's over." Kevin coolly said. Before Squritle could use skull bash Starmie used thunder. Squritle was fried. Again, Misty, Tracy and Duplica was stunned at the sight of this.
"I...lost. Squritle, return!" Ash called back Squritle.
"Great performance Starmie." Kevin said to his pokemon with enthusiasm. "You did great! One of your best battles yet." Kevin called back his Starmie. Then he walked to Ash. "Good battle Ash."
"Yeah, good fight." Ash said looking a bit sad that he lost.
Tracy: How did your Starmie know how to fight a bulbasaur?
Duplica: I've never seen someone fight a battle like that. I'm impressed!
Kevin: Impressed? Uh... Well my pokemon has been through a lot of battles and when I first started to battle and I usually lost because my opponent got the first hit in. I learned that I would have an edge if my pokemon didn't have to wait for orders. Eventually all of my pokemon began to learn about the types of pokemon from a little bit of teaching from me. And that's all for that.
Duplica: Wow!
Kevin: Are you sure you haven't heard of me?
Misty: No. Should we have?
Kevin: Well I wasn't expecting that you guys did. But I heard of Ash and his pikachu. His Pikachu I heard has defeated a geodude with an electrical attack. That's pretty amazing considering that normally geodude wouldn't be harmed at all.
Ash: Did you hear that pikachu?
Ash and Kevin's pikachus jumped of them and looked at each other. Then they began to talk. Ash's Pikachu looked shocked. Then they began talking more.
Kevin: Well... it looks like your pikachu has a new friend.
Ash: What are they talking about?
Ash got his pokedex out and it began to translate.
"Really!! That's amazing!"
"You'd better believe it!"
Ash's pikachu saw the pokedex and turned to Ash.
"Pi pi pika chu!"
"Kevin wants to join you on your pokemon journey! You really should let him." Pikachu was looking very excited about this.
Ash: You do Kevin?
Kevin: Well I was planning to ask you myself. Yeah. I'd like to see how you train your pokemon.
Ash: Okay. The more the merrier!
Kevin: So it's settled then. Where are we going?
Misty: To the Pokemon convention in Vermilion City.
Kevin: Well I've been to last year's and it's more of a place where well known pokemon trainers, breeders and people like Professor Oak go to for a party. It's a formal party with ballroom dancing, big fancy plates and being polite is a must. I think you got an idea. There are also several rooms where you go to battle after you challenge someone. All of them has cameras so you can watch in the main dancing, dining area thing. If someone famous is battling it will be put on the big screen that comes down in the main dining, dancing...you know what I mean.
Misty: Really? It sounds like fun.
Kevin: So why don't we get started toward there?
So then the 5 of them went to Vermilion City and it was getting dark. So they had to decide where to stay. They all stopped near a videophone and Ash was going to look for a place to stay. Unfortunately most of the hotels and motels had no more rooms. Ash was going nuts trying to find one in the phone book.
Duplica: What's taking so long?
Ash: Most of the hotel and motels are full.
Kevin: Hmmm...Well, while Ash is trying to find us a place I would like to know you guys better. Uh... let's start with your names.
Misty: I'm Misty, a water type trainer.
Kevin: From the Cerulean Gym? I've battled with one of your sisters. I only won once I my Starmie learned Thunder, and when it actually hit.
Tracy: I'm Tracy, a Pokemon watcher.
Duplica: I'm Duplica, I'm a...
Kevin: ...ditto trainer?
Duplica: How did you know?
Kevin: I... don't really know how. Somehow... I just felt it.
For a few moments Kevin paused.
Kevin: I'm sorry. I was just thinking of a movie theater. Movie! I meant movie. I just can't stop thinking about a scene in a movie. What the heck just happened?
Duplica: Uh, yeah. What's going on?
Misty: Ash! Have you found a place yet?
Ash put down the phone and shook his head.
Ash: Nope. All of them are booked for the party.
Tracy: Now what are we going to do?
Kevin: Well I guess it's my turn to do something. I can't make friends without offering a helping hand can I?
Misty: Oh that's just great! I told you book in advance Ash! Now we don't have a place to stay.
Ash: Well if you had reminded me I would have.
Misty: Reminded?! You don't need to be reminded to book in advance!!!
Ash: How's that?
They continued to argue and argue and argue...
Tracy (whispering): Kevin, it may not look like it but those two really like each other.
Kevin (whispering): Really? I thought that this occurs after marriage. Are they going out together?
Tracy (whispering): No. Probably too embarrassed or afraid of rejection.
Kevin (whispering): I've been through that. For me it doesn't work when I confess that I like someone. I know that the inside is what really matters but not one girl has given a chance for me yet. Of course it's been quite awhile since I had a chance to do what I want to do. I've been busy with a lot of stuff.
Tracy (whispering): Sorry to hear it but what are we going to do about a place to stay?
Kevin (whispering): Listen I got a plan and it's evil!!! It's pure evil!
Kevin told Tracy about his plan. Then Kevin walked over to the war known as Ash and Misty.
Kevin: Ash, Misty, stop arguing.
Ash and Misty: NO!
Kevin: Okay, let's try that again. I know a place where we can stay for the night and I won't bring you guys there unless you stop arguing.
They both stopped.
Kevin: Thank you, now follow me and I'll lead you to it.
The 5 started to walk through the city. Duplica was walking unusually close to Kevin but every time Kevin stopped to figure out where he was she bumped into him. After awhile the came up to a huge, big, fancy hotel by the beach. When they went in they saw a marble front desk, a sparkling chandelier, a marble tile floor, a small band playing and an extremely large staircase leading to the elevators.
Misty: Whoa! You think we would be able to afford a place like this?
Kevin: I'll have to pull a few strings but I can arrange it. Sit tight. I'll be right back.
Kevin walked up to the front counter.
Person at the counter: Uhh... Mr. Silverblade. How n-n-nice to see you. Would you like a room.
Kevin: Two actually...
To be continued...
AN: Kevin has a few tricks up his sleeve and I'm not saying what it is yet. Later on when a few more chapters come out you'll be able to figure out who Kevin is.
