Alright, enough of my blabbering. Enjoy the story-

DISCLAIMER:- Me owning Pokémon! Not a chance…

Chapter 3: Confrontation (part II)

The current and only thought which is going through Ash Ketchum's head is 'when the food is gonna served'. He hadn't eaten anything for a long 8 hours and the rattatas in his stomach are growing more than restless. Sighing he took a deep breath and analyzed the situation around him.

Currently he is in middle of a Pokémon battle with a guy who is laughing and shouting like a villain in a 90s movie, not to mention an extremely pissed off gymleader waiting for his explanation and readying her mallet. He sighed again.

"You are so dead Ash Ketchum." Rudy roared from opposite side of the field. Ignoring him Ash looked at everybody else's faces in the gym, Tracey had feared look in his face and the sketchbook was trembling in his hands, Gary had a worried frown and is eyeing the pokeball in Rudy's hand, Misty had a expression which can be described as a mixture of concern, fear, worry, anger and a bunch of other emotions that Ash didn't know about and Brock is scratching his chin as usual. He snapped his head up with Rudy's sound. The trainer looked at him.

"Destroy everything in your path, go Dragonite" Rudy roared again throwing the particular pokeball.

The expected Pokémon appeared, the only difference is that it is three times as large as a normal Dragonite and have black holes for eyes(literally). On sight of Garchomp and Ash who seemed more interested in the smell of food coming from kitchen than it, the Dragonite let out a huge roar. The intensity of the roar was so great that the window panes of the gyms shattered instantly.

Ash looked at the huge Pokémon with growing interest.

"isn't that drake's dragonite?" Ash asked Rudy.

"Yeah it was, but it chose me against that pathetic loser" Rudy stated proudly puffing his chest, hatred still evident on face. Ash looked at Dragonite's eyes and frowned.

"I don't think so" Ash said suspiciously, still looking at the dragon's eyes.

"You don't need to use your brains, Mr. Smarty pants" Rudy shouted "just get ready to lose." The orange champion finished with a vicious smile.

"I don't like what was going to happen next." Misty said trembling with fear.

"Yeah, there is definitely something wrong with that Dragonite" Gary stated "as a Pokémon researcher I've never encountered or have heard about a Dragonite of this size or that vicious".

Brock quickly snapped out of his trance and shouted "alright, Dragonite vs. Garchomp began".

"Dragonite use hyperbeam in that shark's ugly face" Rudy ordered. The orange dragon formed a huge orange ball in its mouth and fired the intense beam of light towards the landshark.

"Whoa, that is not a hyperbeam, that's an ultrabeam" Gary exclaimed watching the massive beam of energy propagating through the field.

The beam was about to strike Garchomp but the mach Pokémon disappeared instantly from the course of the beam and reappeared behind still recharging Dragonite.

"Now Garchomp, dragonclaw" Ash quickly stated his move. Garchomp's claw glowed crimson and with a neat slash he sent Dragonite stumbling forward into the pool. Rudy smirked.

"Dragonite use fly"

The pool's water started moving in a whirlpool as an enraged dragon emerged from the pool and took off into the air,

"Now Dragonite use icebeam" Rudy exclaimed. Dragonite created a blue ball in front of its mouth and sent the ice type move towards Garchomp. Garchomp protected himself by using his wings as shield and quickly shrugged off the attack.

Ash brought out a hand from his pocket and took his usual battle pose. It's time to get serious.

"Take off" Ash ordered. A sonic boom was heard and soon followed by a shock wave as the mach Pokémon took off in the air with incredible speed. Rudy blocked his face with his arms to protect himself from the approaching wind and shockwave.

"Dragonite use flamethrower" he yelled. Dragonite roared its name before letting loose a massive stream of flames from his mouth.

"Close in with aerial ace" Ash countered. Garchomp positioned his body like a jet and cut through the stream of flames with aerial ace. With a white outlines surrounding his body Garchomp slammed into Dragonite and sent it flying backwards. Ash didn't let it recover though.

"Dragon rush" using the momentum he gained from the impact Garchomp take a twirl in air and speeded towards the receding Dragonite with his body shrouded in a purple cloak of energy. The attack caused an explosion and smoke covered the air above the field. After sometime a freefalling Dragonite emerged from the smoke and hit the ground with another explosion. For some unknown reason Rudy's eyes are widened in fear.

Unaware of this Garchomp emerged from the smoke, again showing off his incredible speed and landed on his usual place. Ash looked at Rudy.

"Uh, Rudy I think the battle is over".

Rudy looked at him with wide eyes. Ash raised an eyebrow.

"Hey Rudy, what's up?" Ash asked with concern in his eyes. Rudy shuddered before answering him.

"You don't know what you and your cursed Pokémon done Ketchum?" Rudy closed his eyes before spitting the last part out "it's your fault that everybody is going to die in here."

Everybody's eyes widen in surprise on hearing those words except for Misty's whose eyes are wide from the beginning.

"Why?" they asked in unison. Before Rudy could answer a terrifying roar filled the gym.

The smoke that was covering the fallen Dragonite dissipated with the roar to reveal a pissed off dragon with red yes. The enraged beast let out another roar before firing an flamethrower attack at Brock.

The red hot stream could have killed Brock if it is not dissipated by Garchomp's own flamethrower.

Ash shouted at Rudy "what the hell is your Pokémon doing? Stop it"

Rudy lowered his head in shame. "I-I can't ".

"What do you mean you can't? Gary shouted, panic in his voice.

The crazed beast looked at Rudy and roared. It flapped it wings and took off towards the junior researcher. The massive dragon charged a giga impact in mid course and moved murderously towards the junior researcher.

Time slowed down for the six people in the gym. Misty covered her eyes with her hands, Tracey covered his with sketchbook and Gary was too stunned for even to blink.

A sweet music filled the gym. Gary felt he was in a meadow of flowers, there is no hungry rival, there is no psychopathic champion, and there is no giant Dragonite trying to kill him.

"Gary" someone shouted,

"Gaaaaaary" someone shouted again.

"For the sake of arceus, Gary wake upppppp…" Gary felt someone shaking him.

"Huh" Gary slowly opened his eyes.

"M-Misty" he asked groggily. She looked at him with concerned eyes.

"Are you okay." She asked. Gary nodded and slowly got up.

"What happened?"

"You kinda passed out during the incident" she answered.

"Where's the Dragonite?" she pointed at some feet in front of them. The great beast was sleeping peacefully.

"How am I still alive?" he asked.

"You should ask him?" she shrugged while pointing an arm towards the raven haired trainer. Strangely he was inspecting the sleeping dragon.

"A-Ash, what happened?" Misty asked while quickly hiding a dark blush on her face.

"I don't know "he shrugged "I think either the anatomy of this particular Dragonite is modified or it was subjected to some kind of chemical or radiation treatment, which explains it's going out of control while being hurt badly. But I'm not fully sure."

"But why did it suddenly fall asleep in middle of an attack?" Tracey asked curiously.

"Oh that was me."Ash scratched the back of his head sheepishly "did you guys remember the sweet tune that was heard during the attack?"

"y-yeah, that was very sweet" Misty replied nervously.

Ash nodded in agreement. "I normally can't let Garchomp attack that psycho beast as that'll result in mass destruction of the gym. So I decided an peaceful alternative" He looked toward his legs "hey, you can come out now..."

A cute white green thing poked its head in between Ash's legs. With small beady eyes it looked at Misty and smiled. Misty felt her heart melting.

"Awwwww…, it's so cute" she squeaked like a 10 year old. Ash rolled his eyes and continued.

"That's shyamin, I asked her to use grass whistle in order to make that psycho asleep, right buddy" he looked at the grass type.

"shyaaamin" the cute Pokémon nodded happily and quickly climbed on Ash shoulder and nuzzled his cheek with hers. Misty smiled at her. Gary also grinned.

"Thank you for saving my life, shyamin" he thanked the grass type legendary. The grass type nodded "shya shyamin".

"Whoa, that's a Pokémon I never seen before, I definitely gotta make a sketch of her" Tracey shouted hyperactively while positioning his sketchbook. Misty rolled her eyes.

"By the way where is Rudy and Brock" she asked. Ash pointed to the battlefield. Where Brock and Pikachu was assisting an unconscious Rudy who's body was lying on the floor.

"He got knocked off during the uh… accident, Pikachu's deciding whether to electrify him or not" Ash told her. Misty quickly darted towards her unconscious boyfriend. Ash looked back at Gary.

"Hey Gary can you send this Dragonite to professor oak?" Ash diverted his eyes to the dragon "I think professor will be able to deduce what's wrong with it beside it won't be very safe to left it with Rudy."

"Sure thing Ashy-boy" Gary replied and proceeded to do what he was told. Ash looked at his xtranciver and sighed "when I would get something to eat…"

Misty was chopping down some vegetable in kitchen. Her sisters were back and currently shouting among themselves about the shattered window panes. Brock is trying to calm them down and is hitting on them at same time, Rudy is resting in his room still unconscious, Tracey is still sketching, Gary is on a heated debate with his grandfather about Dragonite egg on the phone. Lastly Ash and Pikachu were whining about food.

"Ash..." she mumbled softly.

"Hey mist, do you guys have some spare food in here?" She accidentally dropped her knife.

"A-Ash what are you doing in here?" she turned back to find her former crush with his Pikachu checking out the refrigerator. Misty found her heart picking up pace like a rapidash.

"Just looking for some snacks to keep my stomach at bay till the dinner is ready." He replied still searching the refrigerator. She couldn't help but smile, he hasn't changed a bit.

"You still retain that ever-hungry stomach of yours? Don't you?"

"Ye- HEY that was mean..." She giggled. Ash also chuckled; he took out a bowl of pretzels and looked back at her, for some odd reason she was staring at the ground and not wanting to meet his eyes.

"Where have you been?" she asked quietly. The question caught him off-guard.

'Uh-oh here comes the mallet torture' the trainer thought. He braced himself for the worst.

"I've been to many places Misty" he started "I started it off from sinnoh, and then I returned back to jhoto then to unnova.

"I'm sure you had, have you thought about anything else Ash?"

"What do you mean?"

"What did I MEAN? What did you mean Ketchum" Misty shouted. Tears started to form in her eyes." You are so occupied with your dream that you forget about your friends, you are so preoccupied with exploring the new regions that you didn't cared that I-we are worried to death." She gasped for air.

"Why, why did you do it Ash? You should've told us" Misty lowered her voice "you should've told me..."

Ash found himself more in emotional torture than to physical.

"I-I'm sorry" he said carefully. Misty snapped her head up; she quickly covered the distance between them and grabbed his shirt. She looked at him squarely in the eyes.

"Oh now you are sorry Ash Ketchum..." she cried "do you know how worried I was?" she loosened her grip on his shirt. "you never even tried to contact me Ash?"

Ash scratched back of his head. It is not possible to call someone in kanto from sinnoh or unnova in the gaming world and he is definitely not going to tell her that.

"W-well" he shuttered "I guess i kinda forgot" the trainer rubbed back of his head embarrassedly.

"You forgot" Misty sighed sadly "I should've known, I should've known that I'm not important enough to you for you to remember" her tears started to follow the law of gravity.

"That's not true Misty" he contradicted her "I obviously cared about you mist, you are one of my best friend."

She smiled sadly and wiped away her tears.

"Only a friend? That's all I'm to you?" she asked carefully.

At this point Ash felt he is overwhelming by hunger. His stomach gave a loud growl which made him blush.

"what do you mean mist?" the trainer asked with confusion.

Misty sighed. Her worst fear has just now confirmed, the boy whom she had liked for 7 years don't have any feelings for her. She put her every last effort to blink back her tears and managed a smile.

"It's nothing Ash, you are forgiven.."

"R-really"

"Yes you dense head." She giggled "can you do me a favor?"

"Anything for you mist." Ash pumped his gloved fist in air. Misty smiled a sad smile. If only it was true.

"Since my sisters are fighting among themselves, and you are aware of my culinary skills" she lowered her head in shame. Ash shuddered on thought of Misty's cooking.

"y-yeah" he blurted. The redhead glared at him and continued.

"Can you ask Brock to prepare today's dinner?"

"Sure thing Misty" he smiled at her. The gymleader found her tears threatening to burst from her eyes. She nodded.

"Thank you Ash, now if you excuse me I've to go?" and she fled away from the kitchen leaving a confused foodfreak in background.

"I wonder what's wrong with Misty, she is awfully nice with me today" he looked at the yellow rodent in front of the refrigerator licking a ketchup bottle.

"What do you think Pikachu?" the rodent shrugged.

"Pi Pikachu..."

Misty ran as fast as she could, tears falling freely from her eyes. He had never liked her at all. She quickly entered her bathroom and turned on the shower. She sighed as the warm water from the shower trailed along her body with her tears.

"The food is fantastic Brock!" Ash complimented the Pokémon doctor while chewing his whole plate of food. All of our heroes were now in kitchen seated in the dining table having dinner including even Rudy. Misty looked a little depressed while Rudy had an arm around her shoulders. To Ash's surprise Violet and Gary had become a couple and is making out right in front of everyone.

"How did you guys become a couple so fast?" Ash enquired while stacking potatoes in his mouth. Gary smirked.

"Not everyone is oblivious like you are, Ashy-boy" Gary remarked while waving his finger towards him. Ash made a face and continued to eat. Misty looked away. Tracey perked up. He took a shy glance towards Lily and started.

"S-say Lily" with a face red as tomato he continued "do you want to go movie with me?" everyone stopped eating except Ash and looked at Lily.

Lily looked at the sketcher blankly for sometime before leaping on him.

"Why you silly boy, I will love to." Lily squeaked still in Tracey's arms. Misty raised an eyebrow.

"Don't you have a boyfriend Lily?"

"Yes I had, but I broke up with him three days ago" Lily protested while snuggling deeper into Tracey's chest.

"Do you mind trace" Tracey got off-guard by the recent nickname Lily had given him.

"n-no not at all" Tracey replied honestly. Lily looked at him with sparkling eyes.

"You sooooooooooooo sweet trace" with this she quickly engaged him in a kiss. Everybody sweetdropped.

"HERE'S THE CHAAANCE!" another voice roared. Everybody fell down from their chairs. They looked at the direction of the sound to see Brock kneeling in front of oldest sensational sister.

"Daisy my love, like those three young lovers" he pointed at Gary-Violet, Rudy-Misty,Tracey-Lily "why don't we also go to a date to the stars" the love struck breeder asked while producing a bouquet of roses out of nowhere.

Daisy shrugged before answering him.

"I'm really sorry Brock, but I already have a boyfriend."

Several cracks appeared in Brock's background, the roses in the bouquet died automatically and fell down and Brock was soon found huddled in a corner with black lines over his head.

Misty sighed "I hope Brock soon finds a girl".

The raved haired boy interrupted "don't worry Brocko, I've already found a perfect match for you."

Everybody except Brock looked at the trainer with bewildered eyes.

"Ash's a matchmaker, thought I would never see the day" Gary had a wide smirk on his face. Everybody else is in the ground laughing. Ash pouted and crossed his arm.

"What's so special about it? I was just helping a frie-"he didn't got to finish his sentence as he was tackled to ground by a bear hug from the breeder.

"ASH MY FRIEND , I KNOW FROM THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU THAT YOU WILL BE MY TRUE AND VERY VERY VERYYYYYYYY BEST FRIEND AND WILL NEVER TURN YOUR BACK ON ME LIKE THOSE TRATIORS , NOW TELL ME WHO IS THE LUCKY LADY WHO WILL HAVE THE HONOR TO BECOME MY GIRLFRIEND" Brock shouted while crying anime tears. Ash sweatdropped and pushed him back.

"I'-I'll tell you if you let me breadth." he gasped for air. Brock released him and with lightning speed rushed back to his seat.

"Now tell me."

Ash rolled his eyes "alright". He pulled out the xtranciver (I never saw it actually, so assume it looks like HTC ONE) from his pocket. He swiped its screen.

"Say guys, have you heard about the supermodel Elesa?"

Everyone's jaw hit the floor. Ash sweatdropped. Brock is drooling in his daydreaming mode. Gary and Misty gave him a look which seemed like "are you serious?", The three sensational sister's eyes filled with jealousy. Tracey and Rudy tried to suppress the laughter.

"Uh Brock?" Ash called.

"WHY YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" Brock shouted with hearts replacing his eyes. From nowhere he pulled out a magazine with Elesa posing in front cover "she is my dream lady? I think of her, I dream of her, I collect photos of her,I" Brock started blabbering dreamily. Ash rolled his eyes and turned to others.

"So what do you guys think of Brock and Elesa being a couple?" Gary and rudy looked at him like they could kill him at any moment; Misty avoided him so Tracey said on everyone's behalf

"That will be cool Ash, but how the hell are you gonna make a world famous beauty like Elesa fall for him?" he pointed a finger towards still drooling Brock.

Ash smiled and said "that was easy. I'll call her and told her about Brock."

He did some gesture in his xtranciver and a holograohic screen popped out from the device.

After some rings they were greeted by beauty queen Elesa herself.

"Hello, oh hi Ash, long time no see" Elesa greeted him.

"Hi Elesa, how are you?" Ash greeted back with one of his bright smiles.

"pika pi Pikachu" Pikachu chimed in.

"I'm good, oh hellooo Pikachu" she squealed "you have gotten cuter than before!" at this Pikachu rubbed his head in embarrassment. Elesa looked towards Ash.

"So Ash, you are coming to the master contest right?"

"What contest?" Elesa rolled his eyes.

"That contest which is going to take place at slateport city next week to decide the master coordinator. Have you already forgotten that you are one of the special guests along with me?" she reminded him. Ash's eyes dawned with realization.

"Oh yes that contest, of course I'm coming" he pumped his fist in air. She rolled her eyes.

"By the way Ash why did you called me?"

"Oh that" Ash scratched back of his head "do you remember when I challenged your gym?"

"Why yes, of course I remember you and your Pikachu were incredible"

"Not that, do you remember what you said after I beaten you?" a light blush quickly decorated her beautiful face.

"Y-yes I do"

FLASHBACK:-

"You are powerful Ash. As a token to your power and determination I reward you this bolt badge" Elesa smiled while awarding the raven haired boy the bolt badge.

"You are awesome too Elesa, you and your electric type surely gave us a hard time." Ash took the badge.

A loud ring was heard. Elesa took out her phone and answered it.

"Hi dad!"

"What no, I'm not getting married to any of your chosen boys"

"Alright, I don't wanna talk about it. Bye dad." She hung up.

"Uh, Elesa that was your dad, right?" Ash asked her.

"y-yeah, he was asking me to get married to one of his chosen 'businessmens'" Elesa said absentmindedly.

"And you don't wanna get married right?" the gymleader became thoughtful.

"Yes, I want to marry someone whom I know personally, someone who'll take care of me, someone who'll spend time with me, someone who'll love me for who I'm and not for my fame, someone who is gentle and sweet towards both humans and Pokémon, someone who can take my heart and held it protectively." Elesa said while looking in the direction of forest. Obviously Ash didn't understand most of it, but still made a remark.

"Hey Elesa, I've exactly someone like that in my mind". Elesa couldn't help but smile.

"I've never thought I'd heard something like that from Ash Ketchum of all people." She winked. Ash stuck out his tongue at her.

"But that's very nice of you Ash." She reassured him "so who is this friend you're talking about?"

"Oh, he is one of my travelling companion and a great cook" Ash and Pikachu entered dreamland. The model giggled.

"Sound perfect for me. What's his name?"

"His name's Brock. He is also a gymleader from pewter city." Ash said while showing her a picture. The picture showed a group of three teenagers along with a kid. Ash is standing in the middle showing a peace sign, in his immediate left stand an auburn haired girl with a big smile on her face, his right side was occupied by a spiky haired person who clearly is tallest in the group and in front of them stand a nerdy looking kid with glasses.

"This is Brock" Ash said pointing to the spiky haired dude.

FLASHBACK END

"So what about it?"Elesa said.

"Do you wanna meet Brock now?" Ash offered. Immediately Elesa's face started imitating a tomato.

"wh-what? No not now" Elesa stammered. Ash dropped his gaze.

"I thought he has a chance with you?"

"Of course he has a chance with me" Elesa said violently, but after realizing what she said, she immediately covered her face with her hands. Ash's face pulled up in a wide smirk and Pikachu fell down from his shoulder.

"I know, you don't need to confront him now. We can do that at the slateport city," Elesa's face lit up with excitement.

"He is coming there?"

"No, I'm bringing him there" Ash replied in a matter of fact tone.

"o-okay, I guess I will see you there." Elesa said.

"Sure thing Elesa, bye."

"Bye" she hung up.

Ash pocketed his xtranciever and looked at everyone.

"So, what do you think guys?"

Currently our heroes are in a ferry to hoenn. Misty's birthday was a hit; Ash got to eat as much as he like and everybody enjoyed to their heart's fill. Ash was only planning to bring Brock with him but the sensational sisters said that they had to perform a water show at the opening ceremony of the master contest and definitely their boyfriends are accompanying them.

"So Pikachu we are again going to hoenn, aren't you excited?" the trainer asked his yellow buddy while looking at the rising sun.

"pika pika" his starter replied. Ash took long breath in morning air.

"I don't know what kind of adventure awaits us there, but we are gonna have a blast. Right buddy?"

"pika pikachuuuu…"
