Chapter 4

Petalburg Woods:

Ash was quite content with the new pokémon he had caught. Right now he was training his Shroomish and Treecko though Raphael was helping out with his grass types as well. Hazuki was working with her Zigzagoon, Klepta, on Iron Tail and all her base stats. Ash was planning on them camping out tonight since it looked like it would be a good night and he could get to know Hazuki a bit better this way.

Pikachu and Uber Bito were also working on Iron Tail while Galen and Tailow worked on Steel Wing. The first gym did happen to be a Rock Type gym after all. Klepta already knew Mud Sport so working on her speed was essential. Hazuki was also training herself up as well, knowing full well that a trainer had to be in damn good shape. Ash admired her work ethic and was considering whether or not he would train her on how to use Aura or maybe just spar with her since they did happen to be alone at the moment with only their pokémon with them. None of Hazuki's siblings happened to be nearby which meant no chaperones.

While training his pokémon Ash mulls over what he had learned from Hazuki, while not much at the moment he could appreciate the fact that some things were just too painful for her to talk about yet. The thirteen year old was enjoying the gym battling Maple twin's company. She happened to be an innovative battler which turned him on more than he cared to admit at the moment. Galen and Tailow were working on their aerial maneuverability while also working on how many times they could use Steel Wing in one go.

Klepta was working hard on learning Iron Tail and her speed, stamina, dodging, and charging up of attacks. Raphael was helping Treecko to learn Low Kick as having some fighting type moves would be very helpful to the grass type while Ash works directly with Shroomish for the moment, once Shroomish evolved then he would be a dual grass and fighting type pokémon. As Shroomish works on his tackle attack against a tree Ash is looking up what moves he could tutor Shroomish in. He learned that Shroomish could be taught Seed Bomb, Drain Punch, Focus Punch, Synthesis, and Giga Drain. There were some others but those were the attacks he was interested in.

He shows Shroomish the tutorial for Synthesis first as that was a healing move then they could work on Drain Punch. He was going to make damn sure that they kicked Roxanne's ass when the time came to challenge the gym. Hazuki was playing it smart by not charging right in to battle Roxanne and training beforehand. Treecko could learn Synthesis as well and he calls both of them over to view the tutorial though the fact that Treecko could learn Thunder Punch was interesting. While the grass types are working on Synthesis Ash looks to where the other pokémon are all working on their steel type moves.

Hazuki was stretching out from her workout and then she downs some Moomoo Milk that had Combee Honey in it. Hazuki was going to make sure she was ready for her debut gym battle by busting out all the creativity she could. She was going to battle smarter not harder as a trainer and she knew Dewford Island was next on the list. Dewford was a Fighting Type Gym so if she could get a psychic type it would be helpful. Fighting types were weak to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy types. Hmm, maybe she could track down a Cleffa or Azurill or something along those lines.

" What are you thinking about so intensely, Hazuki? "

" After Rustboro is Dewford Island and the Dewford Gym is a Fighting Type Gym. "

" In other words weak to Flying, Psychic, and Fairy. You're trying to figure out where to get one of those said types before then, aren't you. "

" Damn straight, I know he has a Makuhita though I don't know if said Makuhita has evolved yet or not. "

Ash nods at this, researching the gyms was something they were going to have to do if they wanted to win on the first try. Ash was going to have to see if he could carry more than six pokémon on him so he could train more of them up properly. Gary had gone off to become a researcher which Ash thought was a smart move though Gary better keep training or Ash would own his ass the next time they met. He was glad they had managed to patch things up but, that didn't mean Ash wasn't going to kick his ass in their next battle. Maybe he could find an Elekid or some other electric type to train up. He did have a soft spot for electric types after all.

" We'll think some more on that later right now let's get some hard core training done. This way we can take it easier tomorrow. " Ash says.

Hazuki smiles as she agrees with the sentiment and Ash could almost feel his higher brain functions shut down. He was going to be in some serious trouble when she grew up a little more if she affected him like this as an eleven year old. The younger trainer smirks when she can feel his reaction to her smile, oh yes, playing with Ash was going to be fun. She had never really had the opportunity to flirt like this before and she was enjoying it immensely. Ash actually liked her for who she was not all of her fancy titles. Hazuki sends a text to the Pokénav Max was holding on to for May letting them all know she and Ash were camping out for the night.

Once their pokémon were asleep Ash pulls the younger trainer to him, having her in his arms just felt right. He knew things were going to be difficult to say the least when it came to getting to know Hazuki if they were with the others. He was actually surprised when Hazuki just fell asleep curled up against him, the moon's light hitting her in such way that she looked ethereal, like an actual goddess come down to Earth.

Divine Realms:

Lady Destiny was infuriated that someone was messing around with all of her champions the way they were. Naruto was supposed to have his mother alive still, Ash should have placed much higher in Indigo and Johto than he did, the Orange League went right. Ranma, don't even get her started on that cluster fuck. The amazons should have welcomed him/her as a shield brother/sister, none of those engagements should even be an issue…that situation was really pissing her off. Harry, dear Harry, whatever gender or dimension should never have gone to the Dursleys no matter what. Serena/Usagi, now those situations really pissed her off, she was never meant for Endymion, her senshi should never have been able to kill her off or betray her.

In one dimension Usagi had gotten fed up and ran away, Lady Destiny couldn't blame her for that either. Her champions were getting fucked with and someone was going to burn for it once she found out whom was fucking around with all of them. Thankfully one of her Usagi's was with one of her Ash's and they seemed to be bonding quite nicely as well. There was another pokémon dimension where Serena had been born there and basically grew up with Ash. Still, someone was playing around with the lives of her champions and she was not happy with that no matter what way the dice were tossed.

Rustboro City:

Brock and the others were up early since Ash and Hazuki had spent the night in the forest. May was working on her appeals moves and Yudaina had evolved into Beautifly while May's Wurmple evolved into Silcoon. It was about ten in the morning when Ash and Hazuki returned, Hazuki with the pokémon she had caught for her younger siblings while Ash heads inside to call Misty and transfer the pokémon he caught for her. Max was happy to have his new Slakoth while Kali was delighted with her Carvanah whom she named Oceanus. Kali loved dark types and Carvanah was a water and dark type mix.

Hazuki also heads inside to get her pokémon checked over and she scans Beautifly while the others on her get checked over. Raphael and Treecko had learned Synthesis and were working on Drain Punch, Low Kick, and Focus Punch. Ash had used his TM's on Treecko for Energy Ball and Bullet Seed along with Shroomish. Shroomish had also learned Synthesis and was quickly learning Drain Punch, Focus Punch, and Seed Bomb. The birds had mastered Steel Wing, getting it up to fifteen uses. Pikachu had Iron Tail up to four uses while the others learning Iron Tail were up to three uses each. Triton was up to six for Metal Claw after all of his practice and had learned Vice Grip, Crabhammer, and Water Sport.

Once Ash and Hazuki have everything done including showering and changing they head out to do some light training, basically just working on the moves they already had their pokémon working on while they look in the pokédexes to see where they could catch some fairy type pokémon before they got to Dewford Island. Both of them were getting quite frustrated with the fact that they were nowhere near any fairy types at the moment this left flying which they had and psychic. Well, if push came to shove they'd get creative, which both of them were really good at.

Beautifly was part flying type and if he evolved his Cascoon as well and taught him some flying type moves. Hmm, the beginnings of an idea were starting to form in the Pallet Town native's head. If the Dewford Gym leader only used two pokémon then they were set unless they could find another flying type before then. Hazuki has Raphael go up against Brock's Forretress while Ash has his Shroomish battle against May's Torchic. May needed more battling experience before she made her debut performance as a Coordinator. So her getting practice battles in with her traveling companions could only be a good thing though she needed to make things look good as well.

Brock finds himself hard pressed to deal with Hazuki's unorthodox battling style which she had developed even further from battling and training with Ash. Brock decides to start thinking outside the box as well while Kali and Max have a battle with Hades and Slakoth. Hazuki grins when the Forretress she was facing starts battling smart and not hard. Ooh, she could see how Brock had been a Gym Leader. Uber Bito spins on her forepaws while using Iron Tail to bat away the Pin Missile that was coming her way. May takes this in and decides she needs to get a pokémon that had a tail so she could use Iron Tail like that. " Hey, Hazuki, what would be a good pokémon for me with a tail? "

Hazuki thinks this over even as she continues her training battle with Brock, " Probably Eevee so you might want to catch a few repeat pokémon that you wouldn't mind trading for one though Poochyena might work as well. We'll see if we can get some Quick and Repeat balls to make catching easier. "

" True, I have a ton of Tauros so I could trade one of them for a different pokémon though I could also catch a few repeats here and keep them on me for trading purposes. " Ash says.

Kali smiles when Hades beats Slakoth and Max sighs at this, " I just got Slakoth so we'll train hard and challenge you again, Kali. "

" I look forward to it, Max. " Kali states.

Brock calls a halt to his and Hazuki's battle when Forretress starts to look tired, " I can see I need to train up my Forretress' endurance some more, nice battle, Hazuki. "

" Thanks, Brock, I need to work out several strategies for facing Roxanne and I can't let myself get overconfident. Kali, not some sense into me if that does happen, painfully if need be, okay. " Hazuki states.

" Sure, no problem, aneki. " Kali says, grinning widely.

" No maiming, Kali, and nothing humiliating in public. " Hazuki quickly adds on.

Kali curses under her breath at these additions while Hazuki just smirks at her. May rolls her eyes even as she loses to Ash, " Will you to ever gain some maturity? "

" This coming from the girl that only wanted a pokémon so she could travel. " Hazuki fires back.

May winces at the return salvo, " I was also allowed to watch dad battle because I could be trusted to keep my mouth shut. Plus, there's the fact that none of your siblings trust you to keep our secrets, secret. " Hazuki adds on.

" She has a point, May. " Max says.

Brock and Ash watch the sibling interaction slightly uncomfortably until Kali winks at them, letting them know that this wasn't something private and was actually an old argument. Hazuki returns to overseeing the training of her pokémon, inwardly she was fuming that May would dare to think that she was acting immature. Let's see her survive two hellish lifetimes and come out of it immature!
