Author's Note: Hi, MaskedSeeker here again at long last! Due to some rather troubling issues I kind of took down my stories in a hurry but I'm back, I should be putting up my Grand Chase story soon too but now there's something you should know. If I put up this story on other sites you may notice a difference between the version here and elsewhere but for the sake of myself and others I have to keep things modest so some of my chapters may be filtered, I'm sorry. Now then I hope you like this. I do not own Pokemon.

Scattered Summer

Prologue

There are many places in the Pokemon region most if not all beautiful in their own way. Somewhere between Unova and Kanto there's an island known for being mostly if not entirely beachfront.

Walking off the ferry and onto one of the islands piers is a young man about nineteen years old. He has brown eyes, raven black hair, dressed in blue jeans, green sneakers, a closed red jacket, and a colorful baseball cap on his head. A yellow mouse Pokemon was perched on his shoulder.

Nuzzling his cheek Pikachu calls softly.

Ash Ketchum laughed.

It has been years since he's done any proper traveling. About two years after his journey through Kalos he had stopped his journey for a time and just stayed in Kalos helping Professor Oak and raising and training all his Pokemon.

Life had been great during that time but then he had a thought that what was he doing with his life now and what he do after becoming a Pokemon Master if he even reached that status?

Then out of the blue someone he hadn't seen in years showed up. Cameron an old rival from Unova. He told Ash that he and Lucario were on a break from their journey and had a stroke of good luck. Cameron had won voucher that lets him rent a beach house all expenses paid.

When Ash had explained what he had been up to Cameron invited him along.

So here he was catching up to Cameron who had gone on ahead to set things up.

Following the directions from the message Cameron sent him before Ash walked through the town. Taking a turn at a street corner he bumps straight into a person backing up he says "oops sorry man you okay?"

The boy he ran into who looks to be about his age and height and something of a stout person growls and stomps off with Ash looking after him.

Ash sighs and continues on his way.

After walking a bit more he reaches the address mentioned. Pikachu cooed. Ash whistled.

The beach house in question sure looked impressive particularly the terrace which no doubt overlooks the beach and part of the town.

Walking up to the front door, he rings the doorbell, and Cameron's Lucario answers. The Pokemon barks happily.

He lets the two in and Lucario closes the door after looking around somewhat warily.

Walking past the front doors hallway he marvels at the comfortable lounge which has glass doors leading out onto the terrace.

Pikachu jumps onto a foot stool and he and Lucario start chatting with each other while Ash looks around.

Just as Ash was about to head for the open air kitchen a voice calls out from the nearby bedrooms.

"Ash is that you?!"

Ash smiles and calls back "yeah it's me!"

Footsteps are heard and Cameron runs into the room a fabric in his hands.

"Ash hey man!"

Ash looks at Cameron and chuckles confusing him. Pikachu makes some laughing noises too while Lucario gives a resigned look.

Cameron tilts his head to the side asking "what's wrong?"

Ash smirks and said "you forgot something" pointing down

Cameron blinks, looks down, and screams "UWAH!"

Cameron's lower body was clad only in a pair of white briefs or tighty whities with matching socks.

Looking at his hand he shakes out the fabric revealing a pair of long shorts, he turns around, and starts to pull them on.

As he bends over he shows off his butt to Ash who looking at it goes red and shakes his head making Lucario and Pikachu eye his oddly.

Now dressed in a a similar outfit to his Unova one all those years ago Cameron rubs his head nervously and says "sorry about that."

Ash shakes his head smiling and setting his backpack down says "don't worry about it."

Heading for the kitchen he says "let's eat" as his stomach growls.

Cameron laughed and said "okay!" Following and hoping for what would be a good time.
