Ash and Cynthia had set up camp for the night in the forest without encountering either of the two Pokemon Ash was after.

"Sigghhh I should have known I wouldn't had found them easily. This forest is mostly known for bug Pokemon not the types I am looking for." Ash sighed as he laid up on his sleeping bag looking at Cynthia.

She giggled at him. "Oh don't worry I am sure we will find them." she encouraged him.

"Yeah I hope so." he said. He was currently only in his black turtleneck and had a pair of black shorts on. He wore this to sleep in and work out in. Just then they heard a cracking sound.

"Mank-mankey." a small pig monkey like Pokemon said looking over the camp from the tree branch it was on.

"Hey Ash look it's-" was all Cynthia got out before Ash was up and in front of the Pokemon.

"Hey Mankey." Ash called out to it. The Mankey looked down at the trainer dressed in all black with raven colored hair and honey brown eyes with an eyebrow raised wondering what it wanted.

"I know your species respects those with power and those who can fight well. So I want to challenge you to a spar for the chance to catch you." Ash said pointing at it. The Mankey pumped it fist against it's chest and leaped down and across from Ash and took a stance showing it accepted the spar.

Ash grinned as he raised his fist in a loose stance as well. Unconsciously his eyes glowed blue for a bit but nobody noticed. Cynthia had her eyebrows raised at the unique way of trying to catch a Pokemon. She didn't question it though because he was a Kanto native and knew their species better than she did.

Then it started they charged each other. The Mankey since it respected the human already for challenging it to a fight decided to use only fighting moves no Pokemon moves. It sent an open palm to the center of his chest which he deflected with his own palm and sent a knife hand to the Mankey's face for the Mankey to use his other hand and deflect it. They both jumped back and charged again with fist and nailed each other in the face. The both gave of grunts of pain before both raised a leg to kick each other and nailed each other again.

They looked each other squarely in the eyes after that. Then the Mankey snorted and nodded. Ash nodded and got out a poke ball and the Mankey tapped the button and allowed itself to be caught.

Once it was captured Ash sighed as he walked back to his sleeping bag. "Mann that stings hahah." Ash laugh rubbing his face and sighed where the Mankey connected with him. Cynthia laughed at him outright at this.

"Well what did you expect when you let a fighting type Pokemon hit you directly in the face and ribs?" She said as she walked over to him. "Here let me patch you up Ash." she said as she got out some disinfectant and sprayed it on his cheek making it sting before she put a bandage over it. She then had him raise his shirt and she blushed a little at his toned abs before repeating what she did to his face.

"You will be sore in the morning from that." She said eyeing the bruise already forming. "What would your mom think you getting into fights with Pokemon." She giggled out. She noticed he froze all of a sudden and was pale.

"Oh crap I'm dead. She told me to call her when I made Viridian. We need to make it to Pewter tomorrow. I can find an Oddish in the grasslands around Cerulean." Ash said pale.

"Oh Ash you should know she is probably worried about you." sighed out Cynthia at her traveling companions forgetfulness.

"Hehe I am going to sleep so I can wake up earlier now." Ash said.

"Night Cynthia." he told her.

"Night Ash." she said.

The next morning

The duo had left the forest in a good pace and found themselves just outside Pewter. They were about to continue towards the Pokemon center when a voice called out to them.

"Hello their would you two be interested in some rare rocks and stones?" A voice called out to them on the side of them. They turned their heads see a man in a red beanie and had a beard.

"Hmm." Ash hummed as he walked over to him and looked over his wears before four items caught his interest.

"Yea actually I will take the fire stone, the water stone, one of the leaf stones, and the metal coat." Ash said taking out his wallet.

"That will be 3500 poke dollars." the man said.

"A little pricey but these are hard to come by so I will take it." Ash said handing him the money and taking the three items he wanted.

"Thank you so much young sir!" the man said with a huge smile.

"What about you young lady anything catch your interest." he asked her.

"Hmm I will take the other Leafstone. That will be all though 1000 right?" she asked and he nodded and she handed over the money.

"Thank you for your purchases. Now if I may be so bold what are your plans for this town?" he asked the two.

"I am here to challenge the gym leader." Ash said.

"I see. I here he is pretty tough good luck to you two then." The man said as he packed up his stuff and left.

"Strange guy." Ash murmured after he left.

"Yea but let's get to the Pokemon center. Remember your mom?" she said and he nodded nervously as they continued into the city.

A couple minutes later found them at the front counter of the Pokemon Center. "Hello Nurse Joy would you mind taking a look at my Pokemon?" Ash asked.

"Of course dear and you too?" she said taking his poke balls whilst looking at Cynthia who nodded and took out a single poke ball.

"Alright time to face the music." Ash muttered as he walked to the video phone with a giggling Cynthia behind him.

He sat down on it and dialed his moms number. As soon as it picked up the shouting began.

"ASHTON VERMILLION DO YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I HAVE BEEN WHEN YOU HAVEN'T CALLED!" a pissed looking Delia Vermillion said as soon as she seen her son's face pop up.

"I'm sorry mom I just got caught up in a lot of things. Hehe." Ash said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Hmph you better be mister. Now besides the fact that I need to remind you to call me in every city. Who is this beautiful young lady?" Delia asked with a smile. Seeing a way out Ash pushed Cynthia in front of him whilst smiling.

"This is Cynthia Shirona she is from Celestic town in Sinnoh. Were going to be traveling together through Kanto." Ash said as he introduced her.

Delia smiled mysteriously at that. "Well it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Delia Vermillion Ash's mother. I want to thank you for traveling with Ash because he can be so calm when it comes to Pokemon battles and such but has no self worth always rushing headlong into dangerous situations to protect things." she introduced herself.

"Hello Mrs. Vermillion it's nice to meet you. Also no worries I will keep him in check." she said smiling. Ash pouted at all of this.

"I remember one time when Ash faced a poliwhirl by himself to protect a-" she was cutoff off though by Ash.

"Haha ok mom I will talk to you later I got to get ready to face my first gym by love you." Ash hurriedly said to stop the embarrassment he knew as coming and hung up as Delia laughed at him.

"Ok time to pick my team because apparently this gym is a two-on-two battle." Ash said as he headed to the counter to see if his Pokemon were ready. Cynthia smiling as she followed him. As it was they were done just as he arrived he thanked the nurse Joy and walked out of the center to find a place to release his Pokemon.

The found a clearing with some flowers in it to the right of the center. Once there Ash released all of his Pokemon.

"Ok time to scan you guys to see where your at. I will scan you last Gengar." Ash said pulling out his pokedex and first pointing it to Vulpix.

"Vulpix, The Fox Pokemon. As each tail grows it's fur becomes more lustrous. When held it feels slightly warm. This Pokemon is Female. It's ability is Flash fire and it's hidden ability is Drought. Known Moves: Quick Attack, Firespin, Payback, Will-o-wisp, Feint Attack, Hex, Flame Burst, Extra Sensory, Safeguard, and Flamethrower." the pokedex stated. Ash whistled.

"Man all that work with Gengar has done wonders for you." Ash praised his blushing Vulpix. He then pointed it to Shellder.

"Shellder, The Bivalve Pokemon. It's shell is harder than diamond. It hides on the seafloor and catches prey with it's soft tongue. This Pokemon is male. It's ability is Shell Armor and it's hidden ability is Overcoat. Known Moves: Witdraw, Supersonic, Icicle Spear, Water Gun, Protect, Clamp, Ice Shard, Razor Shell, and Aurora Beam." the pokedex said. Ash once again whistled.

"Gengar and Vulpix have done great things for you as well Shellder." Ash said rubbing the Pokemon on it's shell. He then pointed it towards Mankey his newly caught Pokemon who he has not had the time to train with yet.

"Mankey, The Pig Monkey Pokemon. An Agile Pokemon that lives in the trees. It angers easily and will not hesitate to attack anything. This Pokemon is male. It's ability is Vital spirit and it's hidden ability is Defiant. Known Moves: Low Kick, Fury Swipes, Focus Energy, and Karate Chop." the pokedex read off.

"Don't worry Mankey we will make sure to train you up to get to everyone's level." Ash said smiling as he bumped fist with his Pokemon.

"Now last but not least Gengar." Ash said pointing his pokedex at his strongest Pokemon. Cynthia was interested in just how strong this Pokemon was as well seeing as it had been with Ash for 7 years.

"Gengar, The Shadow Pokemon. Gengar is happy when it scares people smiling wickedly in the dark. This Pokemon is male. It's ability is Levitate and it's hidden ability is Shadow Tag. Known Moves: Lick, Spite, Mean Look, Curse, Nightshade, Confuse Ray, Hypnosis, Sucker Punch, Shadow Punch, Payback, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, Dark Pulse, Destiny Bond, Hex, and Nightmare." The pokedex said in it's robotic tone. Ash nodded satisfied while Cynthia was gaping in shock. That Gengar was really powerful! It already knew every move its species could naturally learn! He must have been training with it since he got it.

Ash noticing her surprised look decided to elaborate for her. "Yea my Gengar is really strong haha. You see I noticed I have a natural affinity for Ghost type Pokemon. Its like I naturally know how to train them. Plus I received an old book on Ghost types from a friend of Professor Oak's when I asked to study about them." Ash told her.

Cynthia nodded. "I see. That must be awesome. I wonder if every trainer has a sort of affinity towards a type of Pokemon?" Cynthia wondered out loud.

"Hmm I am not to sure. Its a definite possibility and a good idea to study. I mean you could use people like Lance who are dragon masters as an example of a person naturally inclined towards certain type. Really you could use any elite four member." Ash told her.

"I see so what Pokemon are you going to use?" she asked curious.

"I will use Mankey for the first Pokemon since this would be good experience for him and its a type advantage. Then Shellder for the sure victory." Ash told her as he returned his Pokemon. Cynthia nodded agreeing with his logic.

"Well lets go then shall we?" she asked and he nodded and they left for the Pewter city gym.

5 minutes later they stood in front of the gym and walked in. They noticed all the light were off as they walked down a hallway until they reached a battlefield by what the could make out of it before the light flickered on. They revealed the guy they bought rocks from! He removed the beard and the hat to reveal an aged man with brown skin and brown spiky hair.

"Greetings challenger I am Flint and the gym leader here. Normally it would be Brock my son but he left a few days ago with a trainer in a red jacket to follow his dreams of becoming a Pokemon breeder." Flint said as he introduced himself.

"I am Ashton Vermillion of Pallet town and I challenge you for a gym badge." Ash said as he walked into the challengers box whilst Cynthia went to the spectators area.

"Very well I accept your challenge it shall be two-on-two. The challenger may substitute their Pokemon." he said and a ref appeared in between them.

"Begin." the ref said.

"Let's rock Geodude!" Flint called out making a rock Pokemon come out.

"Lets do this Mankey." Ash said releasing Mankey.

"Geodude use rollout." Flint called and the Geodude brought in its arms and began rolling at a fast pace towards Mankey.

"Mankey leap over it and use Karate Chop." Ash said. Mankey leaped over the Geodude and brought a white glowing hand on top of its head which immediately stopped its movement. Ash not letting up kept going.

"Now use low kick back into another Karate chop." he said and the Mankey kicked the Geodude with a glowing white leg before bringing another glowing white hand once more down onto its head making it crash into the ground.

The Geodude barely fought its way back up looking battered. "good job staying in there Geodude now use magnitude." The Geodude smashed its arms into the ground making it tremble. Ash seeing the danger told Mankey to jump and bring another Karate Chop down onto the Geodude which it did so fainting the Geodude this time.

"Geodude return. Good job taking out my Geodude. Now lets see you handle Onix!" he said and unleashed a huge rock snake Pokemon.

"Mankey return. Get a good rest." Ash said returning his Mankey.

"Lets end this Shellder." Ash said letting out his shell Pokemon.

"Shellder!" it shouted its name fired up.

"Onix lets start off with rock throw." Flint shouted and the Onix smashed its tail into the ground spraying rocks toward Shellder.

"Shellder use protect." Ash said with his hands in his pockets. He usually does this when he is calm and in control. A green dome appeared around Shellder protecting it from the attack.

"Alright Shellder lets finish this. Use water gun to propel you forward." Ash said and Shellder rocketed towards the Onix using water gun as a jet.

"Now use Razor Shell." he said shocking Flint because that meant that was a highly advanced Shellder not a newbie one like he though. The front of Shellders shell glowed before it lengthened into a long glowing blue sword and it slashed all around the Onix making roar before it fainted to the super effective move. Flint returned his Onix just as Ash did with his Shellder.

"Congratulations Ash. I must say I didn't expect your Shellder to already be so advanced. I was just expecting a barrage of water guns like most new trainers do." He said walking over to him.

"Yes well I already knew this was a rock type gym and had my most advanced Pokemon train him for this gym." Ash told him.

"I see well I am proud to present you with boulder Badge." Flint said handing him the badge. Ash nodded and thanked him as he took it and put it in a badge case before putting that case inside his jacket in a pocket on the inside of his jacket.

"Thank you for the battle. I am off to Cerulean now." Ash said as he and Cynthia left the gym.

"Well that wasn't as exciting as I expected." Cynthia said after they left.

"I came trained and well prepared with type advantages. It was to be expected. The further gyms will be harder as its designed to prepare the trainer for the Indigo Plateau once they collect all eight of their Badges. It's also why trainers who have already been to leagues can bulldoze their way in the starting gyms in other regions." Ash told her. She nodded seeing the logic.

"Now were off to Mt. Moon. Planning to catch an Onix in there?" Cynthia asked as she and Ash stepped into the hills on the east side of the town.

"Yep. Then all I need is that Oddish and I have my team that I need to train for the Indigo Chateau." Ash answered her.

"Hmm. So how long did it take you to decided on this team?" she asked him.

"Well since I knew for sure I would have a Ghost/Poison type with Gengar, I decided to work out a team that would best compliment him. So I started when I was 8 and finished my decision when I was 13." he told her shocking at how much thought he put into his team.

"And you decided your only catching these six?" she asked him.

"No I will catch any Pokemon that catches my eye these six will just be the ones I mainly train for the League." he told her and she nodded.

"I challenge you to a battle." the heard someone shout at them. Turning to look they noticed a huge field filled with trainers. Ash sighed at the interruption but took out Mankeys ball to get him more experience anyways.

2 hours of constant battling later the arrived at a Pokemon center that was next to the entrance of Mt Moon. They walked in and healed Ash and Cynthia's Pokemon who joined in since she was here to gather experience after all. They then left the center to walk into Mt Moon. Inside the noticed it was lightly illuminated by multiple glowing mushrooms and crystals.

"Oh wow this place is really pretty." Cynthia said.

"Yea it is." Ash said mesmerized.(If you haven't guessed by now Red will take Ash's role in some of the crazy adventures he got into not all of them though. I will have Ash run into all the Legendary's like the movies but I will skip things like fillers or things I don't like. I am well aware that Ash is basically an Oc with Ash's name but oh well this is fanfiction.).

"Well let's get to it I don't want to camp out in a cave so I want to be out of here before nightfall." Cynthia said marching on with Ash following behind her chuckling.

"Yes my princess." Ash said with a grin and Cynthia pretended to act haughty before bursting out laughing with Ash.

Just then they felt the ground rumble and out of it emerge a huge Onix who roared signaling it's challenge. Ash grinned at his luck of finding one so early and released Gengar as he didn't want a drawn out battle and like Cynthia wanted out of the cave and closer to Cerulean before camping out.

"Gengar use Hypnosis" Ash called out noticing the Onix was preparing to use rock throw. Its tail stopped though when it was face to face with Gengar's glowing red eyes. It swayed slightly before smashing into the ground asleep.

"Now weaken it with Dream Eater." Ash told him. Red shadowy tentacles emerged from Gengar before the fazed through Onix and energy began to be sapped from it into Gengar. Once Ash noticed it looked weak enough he called for Gengar to stop who did so. Ash through a poke ball straight at Onix and watched as it surprisingly still wobbled three times before dinging successfully.

"Awesome." Ash said grinning as he picked up the ball and put it onto his belt which held five other ball slots along with pouches for supplies. He really loved that science was able to shrink things into Capsules so they could be stored into small areas to where he didn't even need a backpack just a utility belt. It was a black belt with 5 slots for poke balls and three pouches on the back and other side of it.

"Well we can leave now. I got all I wanted from this cave." Ash said smiling at her. She smiled back at him and they traversed the cave unimpeded after that as all the cave dwellers felt the aura leaked by the Gengar and retreated away from the trainer.

A couple hours later the found themselves at the exit of the cave with the only thing of note after the Onix was the guy who battled Cynthia for a pair of fossils with each of them taking one. She said she was going to gift it to her Grandma who liked researching ancient things.

Once they were outside they noticed it was getting dark outside. The spotted Cerulean in the distance and just decided to stay up a bit late to make it there. The thing that fueled this desire was for two reasons. One they would rather sleep in a comfy bed in the Pokemon center than camp out. Two Oddish were nighttime Pokemon and could be spotted in the grasslands outside the city.

They trekked through the grasslands for about thirty minutes before Ash tripped and landed face first into the ground. Cynthia laughed at him for his apparent clumsiness before what tripped him was revealed in the form of an annoyed Oddish who launched a Razor leaf at Ash.

"Shellder use protect." Ash said throwing Shellder out quickly who produced a green dome to protect him and Cynthia.

"Now use Icicle Spear." Ash said wanting to test it's strength. Shellder fired a barrage of small ice spears which hit the Oddish. Though it looked still ready to fight showing it's strength even when hit by a super effective move.

"As I though that Oddish is close to evolving. Alright time to turn it up Shellder Ice Shard." Ash said to his Pokemon telling it to fire a stronger Ice type attack. This time the Oddish staggered clearly weakened.

"Razor Shell!" Ash called out switching to non super effective to not make it faint. Shellder hit it nd it dropped but was still conscious. He threw a poke ball at it and it bobbled a few times before dinging successful.

"Yes that's the last one." Ash said smiling at his success. Cynthia smiled at his good mood.

"Alright lets go to the Pokemon center because I am tired." Cynthia said yawning.

Ash nodded and they left finally entering the city before immediately going to the center renting a single room with two beds and leaving their Pokemon with the nurse Joy on night duty to be treated.

The next morning in a field outside Cerulean

Ash and Cynthia released all of their Pokemon to get to training so Ash could prepare for the Cerulean gym. Five minutes into their training they were greeted to two sights. One expected the other extremely surprising. Ash and Cynthia had his Oddish and her Gible spar. They knew Oddish was close to evolving so it came to no surprise when it started to evolve what was surprising was Gible started to evolve as well!

Cynthia looked extremely excited at this fact. She was practically bouncing in excitement. Once the glow of evolution was over there stood a Gloom and a Gabite.

Cynthia bounded over to her Pokemon and scooped her up into a hug. Ash smiling walked over to his new Gloom and ignored the stench softly patted her head showing his happiness at her evolving. He then remembered he needed to scan his newest Pokemon. He pointed it to his newly evolved Gloom first.

"Gloom, the Weed Pokemon. The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. Its nectar that attracts prey. This Pokemon is female. Its ability is Chlorophyll and its hidden ability is Stench. Known Moves: Sweet Scent, Acid, Razor Leaf, Poison Powder, Sleep Powder, Stun Spore, and Mega Drain." the pokedex stated. Ash nodded as that was expected before pointing it to his Onix.

"Onix, the Rock Snake Pokemon. As it grows, the stone portions of its body harden to become similar to a diamond, but colored black. This Pokemon is Male. Its ability is Sturdy and its hidden ability is Weak Armor. Known Moves: Harden, Bind, Curse, Rock Throw, Rock Tomb, Rage, Stealth Rock, Rock Polish, Gyro Ball, Smack Down, and Dragon Breath." the pokedex stated much to Ash's joy as it meant this Onix was stronger than he suspected. As he was doing this he noticed Cynthia was still gushing over her Gabite making him chuckle.

"Alright lets get back to training guys." Ash said and his Pokemon shouted out their names in agreement.

XXXX

A couple hours later Ash had returned his Pokemon and ended their training for the day. He had also given his Onix his metal coat to wear. He would continuously absorb the metal and the nutrients in it whilst training and once he absorbs enough of it he will evolve. (I don't believe in the whole trade logic so trade Pokemon don't need to be traded to evolve but will take special circumstances if they need items to evolve. Like with Onix and the metal coat.).

"Well let's return to the Pokemon center and heal our Pokemon so you can challenge the gym." Cynthia stated. She raised an eyebrow at his nervousness though.

"Something wrong?" she asked.

"hehe yes? Well I don't know." Ash nervously stuttered out. Piquing Cynthia's interest even more. "Well I personally know the Joy who works days at this Pokemon center because my mom would bring us here to a lot when I was younger because she likes the water here and I would need to see the nurse Joy here a lot because I kept finding ways to get hurt playing with the water Pokemon, and Joy became possessive of me always hugging me and stuff. The same thing with Vermillion's nurse Joy happens." Ash muttered. Cynthia looked at him for a second before busting out laughing.

"Oh now we definitely have to go." Cynthia said grabbing him and dragging him to the center.

"Oh don't you have to contact your grandmother about that fossil as well?" Ash asked making Cynthia freeze now.

"Oh crap I haven't talked to her since Viridian." Cynthia muttered.

Now it was Ash's turn to laugh at least until they reached the center. The walked in and he made eye contact with Joy and nervously raised his hand to say hi. Her eyes lit up in delight and she rushed over to him scooping him up in a hug instantly completely ignoring Cynthia who was laughing behind her hand trying to control herself at seeing that Ash was right.

"Oh Ashy. Its so good to see you! I see you started your journey huh? You look as handsome as ever. So what Pokemon have you caught." she rapid fired at him whilst rubbing his face. Ash sighed.

"Joy." he said tonelessly and she instantly laughed whilst sheepishly rubbing the back of her head.

"I did it again huh? So you want to heal your Pokemon? Oh who is she?" Joy said finally noticing Cynthia. Cynthia noticed the apologetic look Ash sent her for some reason and answered.

"I am Cynthia Shirona. I am traveling with Ash through Kanto." she said answering her. She noticed Ash face palm and wondered why. She got her answer when for the first time in her life she seen a nurse Joy adopt a cold look.

"Hohh so a girl has noticed my adorable Ashy and gets to travel with him ehh. I think you and I should have a talk then." She said and was about to drag a nervously sweating Cynthia away when she was saved by Ash.

"Joy could you heal my Pokemon please? I would like to challenge the Cerulean gym today." Ash asked and Joy did an instant 180 and happily walked over to the counter for Ash's Pokemon. Cynthia shivered a bit. She'd hate to see Ash's first girlfriend meet nurse Joy.

"I would be glad to Ash here let me see them please." she said handing him tray to which he put his six poke balls on.

"They will be ready in just a bit." she said to him. He nodded and went back to Cynthia.

"Told you so." was all he said.

"Hehe yea well I am going to go call my grandma want to come with?" she asked. Ash smiled and nodded.

"I would love to I can't wait to meet her." Ash said. She smiled and led him over to the video phones.

Cynthia sat down and dialed her number. When it picked up she got n earful like she was expecting.

"CYNTHIA SHIRONA HAVE I NOT TOLD YOU TO CALL ME IN EVERY CITY?" her grandma yelled as soon as she seen her.

"Sorry Grandma I kinda forgot when I got wrapped up in a bunch of things." Cynthia said to her.

"Hmph. So where are you at now?" she asked whilst crossing her arms.

"I am in Cerulean right now. Oh I got a Pokemon fossil to send you that I found on Mt. Moon." Cynthia said making her grandma get a bright smile at this.

"Oh really that's great sweety. So who is the boy standing behind you then?" she asked gaining a mischievous smile that Cynthia unfortunately didn't see. Cynthia then had Ash sit next to her.

"This is Ash Vermillion we will be traveling together while he takes on the gym challenge to challenge the Indigo League. He has an interest in ancient things like you grandma and was dying to meet you." she said introducing Ash.

"Hello Mrs. Shirona. Its a pleasure to meet you. Yea when Cynthia said you research legendary Pokemon I just had to meet you. I actually can't wait to travel to Sinnoh to meet you in person." Ash said smiling to her.

"Its a pleasure to meet you as well Ash, and I would be delighted to show you my research sometime. Now back to other things. So your traveling with my little Cynthia huh?" she said smiling even more mischievously now with Cynthia seeing it. Cynthia groaned knowing embarrassment was coming.

"Yes mam we met back on the route between Pallet and Viridian and have been traveling since then." he said smiling still.

"Hoh well I hope your protecting her and when you two camp out at night are and are all alone together are being safe." she said and winked at him. It took Ash a few seconds to process what she said before his face flushed bright red just like Cynthia's did.

"W-w-w-wh-what we aren't doing anything like that!" Ash spluttered. Whilst Cynthia hid her face behind her hands whilst she flushed scarlet.

"Is that so? I do want grand kids to spoil you know Cynthia." her Grandma said smiling still at the kids blushing faces.

"Ok by Grandma I love you, I will send the fossil over whilst I am here." Cynthia said really fast before hanging up. She and Ash looked at each other before bursting out laughing at the absurdity of the moment.

"So have you decided what Pokemon your going to use?" she asked him once they got their Pokemon back and were off to the Gym.

"Yea I'll be using.."
