Chapter 1: coming together

Ash smiled. He was happy to see his friends, May, Max and Dawn again. They had agreed to meet in the petalburg city, and their mothers were coming along! This was going to be one big happy party!

"Pika, pika pika!" Pikachu had seen max. And that wasn't all! Max was in a double battle with his starter, Treecko, and a . totodile His opponent was using a Zigagoon and a wingull.

"Treecko and totodile use water gun and rozarleaf on zigagoon!" shouted max. "Wingull, fly up! Zigagoon, use dig!" yelled max's opponent.

Zigagoon started digging, but not quick enough. The water beam hit zigagoon on his butt, and the creature let out a shriek before disappearing underground.

"Totodile, jump in the water quick! Treecko, keep watch for zigagoon, totodile, keep an eye on wingull and stay close to another!"

"wingull and zigagoon use take down!" the trainer smiled. If he thought he had him trapped, he was wrong.

Definitely a beginning trainer. Ash know Max was going to win. Stupid mistake.

"NOW, attack!" both treecko and totodile hit their opponents in the face, and both wingull and zigagoon where thrown back, slamming in a tree.

"I WIN I WIN I WIN!" screamed max loud. "Hééé good fight max!" said Ash. "ASH!" Max finally saw Ash and run to him. "Come-on, Dawn is waiting at the gym!" Said Max.

"Isn't May here?" "She's getting mom, Delia and Johanna in Littleroottown."

"Great, I can hardly wait to see everyone again!" While walking to the gym, Ash though one again how great it was going to be.

He had no idea how wrong he was.
