Chapter 3
With Ash...
Ash was running down the hall of what seems to be an ancient temple with a large double-edged blue crystal, and running alongside him was a gorgeous 14-year old girl. She had long brown hair that formed an inverted 'V' and also had blue eyes and was wearing a red shirt that had a dark blue colored circle around her collarbone with a red collar, she also wore a short white miniskirt over a pair of navy blue cycling shorts; she had a pair of yellow and red sneakers, a yellow fanny pack around her waist, a red bandana with half a white Pokeball symbol on it, and a blue Pokemon known as Manaphy in her arms, this girl's name is May. Ash stopped running once May and he were standing on a platform watching the Temple of the Sea getting filled with water; spotting an escape pod, Ash quickly pulled it onto the platform.
"May, get in here, it's Phantom's," he continued "C'mon, you gotta." Grabbing May's shoulders, he gently placed her into the capsule along with Pikachu. Ash's eyes showed nothing but pure concern and care for May and Pikachu, he gave Pikachu a quick hug; however, he didn't understand why he had the urge to do the same to May, but instead of a hug, he kissed her. May's eyes were wide open, surprised that Ash would actually kiss her out of nowhere; however, to Ash-being the densest person to ever exist-, he thought of it was just like a display of affection his mother often showed him with a kiss on the cheek. The kiss was short but sweet, one of the most innocent kisses that the world has ever witnessed, but the moment ended when Ash slammed the door of the capsule shut and locked it. May's shocked face was the only thing he could see, her eyes filled with tears, he turned around and started to run towards the heart of the temple, but not before hearing two faint sounds, one was Pikachu screaming "Pikapi!" and the other was May calling Ash's name.
With Dawn..
Dawn was walking down a rocky path in the forest, until the path split into two ways with one person on each path. The one on her left was a familiar face, Ash Ketchum, one of her current travelling companions, and one of the few boys she developed feelings for; however, on the other path was another boy she was attracted to; he was extremely handsome to say the least. He had spiky dark brown hair and black eyes; he was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white lab coat which was worn over a black shirt with a black collar, and lastly was his signature necklace that was similar to a Mystic Water Pendant. He was the famous Gary Oak, grandson of Professor Oak.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Dawn started to shake and crack, resulting in a massive earthquake that literally tore the ground apart. Dawn knew she had to run to one of her two crushes to avoid falling, but even though she wanted to rush over to Ash's side, her body made her sprint towards Gary's side instead. She embraced him as she reached the other side, feeling safe in his arms, as she watched everything else except the two of them disappear into thin air.
In Reality..
A girl with long blue-green hair that reached her back stood in a hotel room, she was wearing a purple-pink body fitting jumpsuit that showed every curve of her body, she is also known as the Saffron City gym leader, Sabrina. Her eyes were glowing yellow as well as her right hand, which was outstretched, the reason for the bizarre glow emanating from her body was because she was looking into the deep emotions and consciousnesses of the two people sleeping on the bed in front of her as well as taking a peak into one of the dreams of the two people sleeping, more specifically, it was Ash's dream. She also discovered things that the two didn't know about themselves, smirking at the fact that the young pair hasn't realized their true feelings yet, she decided to have some fun. After seeing Ash's dream/memory of what happened at the sea temple, she decided to manipulate Dawn's dream to show her the deepest bits of her consciousness. After doing so, she wiped their memories of the incident that occurred between them last night and teleported back to Saffron City using her powers, but not before leaving a Dusk Ball on the bedside table.
Dawn woke up with a shock, not from fear, but from the surprise of what she did in her dream. She quickly walked out of the hotel room, disturbed by the fact that it wasn't her room and she didn't know who's room it was, or at least not anymore, she walked towards the other section of the hotel where her room was. And luckily for both her and Ash, Dawn didn't spot him on the edge of the bed when she woke up.
Brock woke up groggily, feeling a sudden wave of dizziness and pain that coursed through his head, he yelped and stood up, making his way to the bathroom, for a shower. Before he could enter the bathroom however, his Pokegear rang; he picked it up and answered it, not bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hello?" Brock greeted drowsily. "Hey Brock!" was the voice on the other line, it sounded feminine, and extremely familiar to Brock's ears. Smirking, he joyfully replied to the caller "Misty! What's up?". "No time to explain Brock, but I need you to head over to Viridian City, the Nurse Joy there told me some VERY interesting news. I guess she still remembers us from our last visit." Misty nostalgically said.
"Why? Where are you Misty?" Brock questioned. "I'm in Vermillion City, I plan on taking the S.S. Anne to Sinnoh, but I came across a surprise while I was on my way to Saffron City. I think Ash'll be really happy with what I found. Tracey also told me that he found something on Cinnabar Island; but he said he'll show me what it is when the S.S. Anne will make its stop there." Misty informed the confused breeder.
"Alright, alright, whatever it is, it better be worth it." Brock chuckled. "Don't worry Brock, you'll really like this. Liza's on her way to pick you up in around an hour so get ready." And with that, Misty hung up the phone. Brock wasted no time to get ready, due to the fact that he was once again love struck, but this time it was with the Charizard trainer that was going to give him a ride to Viridian City and back.
Ash woke up, rubbing every bit of sleep from his eyes and walked into the living room of his hotel room. Spotting a yellow mouse on the writing desk, he slowly made his way towards his partner. Pikachu was lying on his back, and his stomach was so big that it made him look like he was pregnant. He counldn't help but chuckle at the sight; Pikachu knocked out with ketchup flowing from his mouth, which made him look like he was drooling ketchup. Ash decided it was time to wake up Pikachu, so he gently shook Pikachu until he woke up. Pikachu hopped into Ash's arms, in an attempt to get some more sleep, but Ash spoke up "Pikachu, please stop sleeping, we need to get ready to head out; the Sinnoh league is tomorrow, so we better get everyone on the team ready. I told Professor Oak that I'll use all of my Pokemon for the tournament, so I guess he's bringing everybody along with him."
"Pika.." the mouse agreed. "Well, let head to the shower, you also need another bath, you look like you just came out of a battle." Ash said with a laugh. The duo shared a laugh before walking into the bathroom.
30 Minutes Later…..
"Ah….a nice hot morning shower feels great! Don't you think so buddy?" Ash asked his partner. "Pika!" Pikachu chimed in with a vigorous nod. Ash walked back to his bedroom to find his hat, but something caught his eye, a Dusk Ball on the bedside desk.
"A Pokeball?" Ash wondered aloud. He enlarged it and sent out the Pokemon inside; however, he never expected that he would see this Pokemon again. "HAUNTER!" Ash screamed and hugged the ghost-type Pokemon. Haunter was a purple disembodied spirit with two claws that were separated from his body, it has a pair of black eyes and an ever-present smile plastered on its face. Haunter couldn't speak because it was starting to glow, its arms started to attach to its body and it was also growing legs, but the smile it had turned into a grin that always showed its teeth.
As the glowing stopped, Haunter was gone and in its place was a new Pokemon, Gengar. "Haunter…you evolved into a Gengar" Ash said amazed and continued "That's so awesome!". Gengar laughed like a maniac, happy to see its old friend as its current trainer but as soon as the laughter stopped, Ash spoke up. "Hey, Gengar, welcome to the team" Ash said with a smile and an outstrached hand. Gengar happily took Ash's hand and shook it, then pressed the button on the Dusk Ball, wanting to rest after evolving.
Ash smiled, picked up his hat from the floor and hooked Gengar's Pokeball onto his belt and walked out of the room. Ready for a new day, and a reunion with the Pokemon Professor Oak will be bringing along with him.
A man around his seventies walked off a small speed boat, along with a woman around her twenties. The man had gray hair, a pair of black eyes ,and a few wrinkles on his face, he was wearing a pair of brown pants, a pair of black loafers, a red shirt, and a white lab coat draped over his shirt. The man was a well-known person, famous for his Pokemon research and poetry, he was Professor Oak. The woman had dark brown hair tied up in a ponytail with a blue ribbon and her eyes were brown like her son's. She was wearing a light yellow blouse with a short sleeve pink jacket over the blouse, a knee length dark blue skirt, and a pair of white ballerina flats. She was well known in Pallet Town for owning the "Pallet House" restaurant, but outside, she was known as the mother of Ash Ketchum, Delia Ketchum. The driver of the speedboat was none other than the Professor's grandson, Gary. He was wearing his normal outfit, a black shirt and a pair of jeans, along with his Mystic Water Pendant necklace, but as he stepped out of the boat, there was a small bag in his hand, containing the Pokeballs of his former rival. They silently made their way towards the hotel where Ash was staying at, with smiles on their faces; however, Professor Oak wasn't just smiling, he was grinning from ear to ear, because of the four special Pokeballs he had in his pocket.
Ash was munching on a large breakfast buffet in the hotel's lounging area, while Pikachu was stealing a few berries from one of Ash's plates. He felt a tap on his shoulder and was surprised with who was standing in front of him. "Mom, Gary, Professor Oak! Why are you guys here?" Ash asked excited and surprised by the fact that they arrived during the morning. "Well," his mother started, "Brock told the Professor that you'll be here a day before the league starts to train your Pokemon." "So gramps thought it would be a good idea to bring all of your Pokemon here for you." Gary continued, smirking, while he handed over the small bag of Pokeballs to Ash. "But I would like to see if you would like our little surprise." Oak finished with a huge smile on his face as he handed four more Pokeballs to Ash.
Ash dropped the bag of Pokeballs so he could carry the four enlarge Pokeballs the Professor gave him; being unable to contain his excitement, Ash threw all four Pokeballs into the air, releasing all of the mysterious Pokemon. The Pokemon that came out, stood in front of Ash, were all standing strong and proud, Ash never expected that they would be here to support him.
