So, heres Chapter 2. Enjoy!! By the way, you'll have to wait a little longer for that new Poke Contest. But trust me it's worth it.
Early the next morning, Ishi awoke with Zen sleeping peacefully in his arms. Not wanting to wake her, he gently grabbed one of his Pokeballs. "Shiftry, come on out." he whispered.
The white-haired Grass/Dark Pokemon appeared. Shiftry smiled slyly when he saw Zen. Shif shiftry shif try try, he said nudging his trainer. "Oh, shut up Shiftry. I need you to go get some flowers from the woods for me." Shiftry nodded and leapt off into the woods. Zen seemed to wake up from the sound of Shiftry's taunting.
"What was Shiftry saying to you?" she asked so cutely it made his face turn a brighter red than ever. "Oh, nothing, hun." he smiled. At the same moment, Ash and May were waking up from their sleep. Brock had already started to prepare some Pokemon food for Happiny and the others. Suddenly, Ishi noticed that Pikachu was missing. "Hey Ash, where's Pikachu?" May asked curiously. "Oh, he went out to get firewood with Shiftry." Ash stated, knowing that Ishi had seen that same pile of flowers on the way. Knowing May wasn't sure that was true, he quickly changed the subject. "Hey, why don't we let our Pokemon out to stretch?" he asked. "Sounds good to me; besides breakfast is almost ready." Brock smiled.
Each trainer threw their Pokeballs into the air. Ash's Pokemon came out first. Besides, Pikachu, who was out "getting wood", Ash had with him his Aipom, a small purple monkey who had a hand on her tail. He also had his Staravia, a proud looking bird Pokemon, Turtwig, a turtle-like Grass Pokemon, and his Sceptile, a large Gecko Pokemon. The last Pokemon was his Charizard, a large lizard with a flame on the tip of his tail.
May had with her Blaziken, Munchlax, Beautifly, and her newest Pokemon, the squirrel-like Pokemon, Pacharisu.
Brock had with him his newly evolved Sudowoodo, his baby Happiny and his Croagunk.
Zen was accompanied by her Meganium, Combee, Magby, Rapidash, Snorunt, and her newborn Cleffa, which she obtained from an egg her mother's Clefable.
Ishi, though he didn't admit it to Ash, was in fact the Sinnoh's reining Champion. With Shiftry in the woods, he threw his five Pokeballs into the air. He too owned an Aipom, but he could tell the difference between the two because his Aipom wore a Focus Band. He also had his Hitmontop, Gallade, Exploud, and his Flygon.
As the Pokemon ate, Shiftry and Pikachu came back with the flowers. "Thanks, guys. Go ahead and get some food" Ash and Ishi said as they took the flowers. Pleased they had done well, Pikachu and Shiftry happily sat down to their meal. Hiding the flowers behind their backs, they called May and Zen over. "Oh, Ishi! I don't know what to say!" Zen cooed. "Don't mention it." He smiled. He was glad that Shiftry knew his way around the forest. He looked over at Ash, who was already blushing as May kissed him unexpectedly. Suddenly he felt himself blush as Zen followed May's lead.
Suddenly, Brock yelled "Guys, look out!" Munchlax and Combee had smelled the sweet scent of the flowers and proceeded to attack the scent. Munchlax opened his mouth and chomped down onto the flowers. Ash moved his fingers out of the way just as he bit down. Ash quickly counted his fingers and sighed with relief. Ishi, however, wasn't so lucky.
Feeling the unstoppable urge to pollinate, Combee quickly rushed over to the flowers. "No, Combee! Not Quick Attack!" Zen shouted. Combee ignored her and proceeded to run into Ishi's face in attempt to be near the flowers. As Ishi flew semiconscious to the ground, his over-protective Exploud rushed over and begin yelling, which is what he did best, at Combee. Combee wasn't about to take verbally abuse from Exploud and started yelling back. "Please Combee, your making a scene." Zen sighed with embarrassment. "Exploud, Silence!" Ishi yelled, competing in volume with the big purple Pokemon. Both silenced themselves quickly, confused at why their trainers were also yelling.
With that silence, they heard a rustling in the bush. Suddenly, Shiftry, Meganium, Pikachu, Blaziken, all started growling at the bush. "Show yourselves!" Brock bravely called. As the mysterious rustlers stepped out Ash and Brock gasped.
"What's goin' on Ashy?" the voice said in a taunting tone.
There standing in front of them, was none other than Gary Oak.
What is Gary doing here? This is unexpected... for you anyway. I, of course knew it was going to happen. I am you kno, the writer. I promise a Pokemon battle in the next one.
