"What are you doing?"

"Trying to teach Noibat a move." Ash says simply from Serena's question as he continues to watch Noibat try to fly pass Hawlucha at full speed but was too tired to speed up. "Oh gosh,

hang in there Noibat!" he shouted as Pikachu and the other pokemon do there own encouraging words.

"Noi!" the small bat pokemon shouted its thanks as it flips in the sky. Hawlucha makes a pose and then flies up to meet his opponent.

"Prepare for trouble!" A woman's voice shouted in the air inside a meowth shaped balloon.

"Charmeleon, flamethrower!" A boys voice shouts in the air.

The blast of fire didn't do anything to the balloon unfortunately.

"ALRIGHT WHO INTERRUPTED US!" Jessie screams while she looks at the others while James and Meowth were looking petrified.

"Me." the boy yells back, clearly ready to fight, until he notices a red and silver egg. "You stole that egg from the pokemon center!"

This time James snickered, "You're right little twerp! As soon as it hatches then we will take all your pokemon and that pikachu."

"Well, when it hatches then you guys would have to take care of it like a mother caring for her child. Do you have your mind change yet or do I have to ask Charmeleon to do that for you?"

"Dats a good question for a little twerp?" Meowth says worriedly looking at his partners and then at the egg. "I say we ditch the egg."

Jessie was about to argue when a pikachu jumps onto the edge of the balloon basket. "Ugh just

get it over with!" When Pikachu heard this he smirks.

"We're blasting off again!" The trio yells as the egg was detached from the balloon.

Charmeleon, quick to see the egg falling at a rapid pace, suddenly jumps up to catch it but he collided with Pikachu who was trying to do the same. Ben rushed over and dives barely catching the egg. He sighs in relief and stands up.

"Gosh," He gasps. "I never knew pokemon eggs can be so heavy."

"BEN!" Someone shouted at him as the boy turns around and notices Clemont walking towards him. "We have to talk."

This time however, Ben nodded before returning Charmeleon and looking at the egg. He knows what he was going to ask already. He blushes.

"It's about, Bonnie." The gym leader says as he smiles looking behind him as his sister walks out behind him. "I think you should know better than scaring off her like that."

Ben was confused why he wasn't being scolded right now. He tilted his head while gentle putting down the egg. He fiddled with his hat.

"Wh-what do you mean by that?" He asks, feeling his face getting warm.

"There's gonna be a dance for performers and their friends, so I was wondering if you can be, uh, um-" Bonnie starts, blushing, but Ben smiles softly at her.

"I would gladly be your dance partner, Bonnie." He says softly as he blushes a bit. "We are a great team!"

"Yeah!" The girl agrees as Clemont sighs in relief.

Suddenly, the egg besides Ben started glowing and suddenly a little Skarmory appears before him. The little pokemon then sees it's trainer and nuzzles him.

"Aww, it's so cute!" Bonnie squeals as Ben picks it up. "Can I pet it?"

"Sure."

Ash and Serena came over and smiles at Ben's new pokemon. Skarmory then nuzzles Bonnie as Ben holds him out to her to pet. Clemont smiles as Nurse Joy runs down to see that the egg has hatched.

"Wow looks like the egg had a Skarmory in it and it seems that it founded his trainer." She says smiling as Ben rubs the pokemons chin which earned him a purr. "I will go and enter him in as the Skarmory's trainer." She adds walking away.

Ben smiles and then sees Skarmory growing up, literally. He looks at Bonnie who was getting nuzzled by Skarmory when she gave him a pokepuff to eat.

"You like her, don't you?" Ash asks Ben smiling as the boy blushes. "I want to ask Serena but I don't know yet."

Both males sweat drop, as Bonnie and Serena walks over to them with a look that says, 'We aren't dumb.'

Skarmory grew higher and then Ben almost got sat on by him if it wasn't for Ash that pulls him away. "Skarmory!" The pokemon roars as he looks at his trainer.

Ben pulls out a pokeball and watches in amazement as Skarmory hits the pokeball with its beak. He was grinning from ear to ear as Bonnie giggles at him.

"You look pathetic!" A man's voice snarls at the group behind him. "Give me that Skarmory, Ben!"

The boy looks at Kale and snarls while getting in front of the group. "Not going to happen! Charmeleon, Skarmory, battle time!"

The two pokemon appears before their trainer and glares at the rocket administrator. Charmeleon was angry at Kale for hurting it's trainer, but Skarmory was happy that he can show off his skills. Kale sent out Dragonite and almost made the silver pokemon yelp in fear.

"Charmeleon, flamethrower, and Skarmory, do peck!" Ben yells as he rushes towards his pokemon to watch them.

"Dragonite, deflect those attacks with thunder Wave." Kale commands his Dragonite as it flies higher into the sky.

"Pikachu, iron tail" Ash yells as the little yellow mouse jumps into the air before barely hitting the dragonite with his iron tail.

"Braixen, flamethrower!" Serena yells as her fox pokemon throws fire from its stick.

"Dragonite, stay in the air and do hyper beam!"

"Dodge it everybody!" Ben screams as he steps back to cover himself.

But he was too late as he heard Skarmory and Charmeleon's screams of pain. His heart was pounding as he looks into his friend's eyes. Charmeleon looks furious and takes a step forward to attack but Kale ordered his Dragonite to use dragon rage. Ben grits his teeth as he takes a step back.

"Charmeleon," Ben yells running towards his starter. "jump onto Skarmory's back and use him to fly in the air! Use Aerial ace!"

"Char!" His started agrees and jumps onto Skarmory who was standing up and growling.

Ben rushes towards Kale and tackles him to the ground. They started scuffling as their pokemon stopped their attacks to watch them fight. Ben was suddenly on the bottom as Kale pulls out a sharp object. His eyes widen. He pushes Kale off of him with his legs and stood up, wiping off blood from his face. He glares at Kale as the man takes off towards his Skarmory.

"Your birdy is coming with me!"

Ben punches Kale off his feet and cries out in pain. The man glares at him while pushing himself up and starts ordering Dragonite to attack the group without stopping.

"Charmeleon, jump on Dragonite's back and use scratch!" Ben yells as he limps towards his friends. Can't see them die, can't let them die. He looks down at the cloth wrapped around his arm and sees blood starting to seep through it. The wound must've opened back up when I fell down? He thought, gritting his teeth.

"Ash, you are going to regret facing me." The cold voice of Kale could be heard while Dragonite cries in pain as Charmeleon successfully jumps on his back and uses scratch. "Dragonite, shake it off and scratch it!"

The orange lizard yells as it was tossed towards its trainer but Ben was able to dodge quickly before he was sandwiched between the pokemon and the ground. Bonnie shouted something at the boy but he couldn't hear her. He ran towards his partner while Skarmory flies over him to protect them both. Ash ordered Pikachu to use iron tail on Dragonite. The twelve year old boy covers a very exhausted Charmeleon as Dragonite attacks them both.

He looks back as he returns Charmeleon to his ball and grabs Skarmory's pokeball. They were going to retreat and think of a plan in order to defeat Kale and his Dragonite. He hears a scream and turns to see Dragonite flying towards his friends. He only had a second before they would receive their fate. Ben started running.

"Hey Dragonite, its me you want!" He yells as he stumbles on his feet.

"Ben, you're hurt!" Serena yells worriedly at her friend as she sees him tripping over himself.

"Stay back, Ben! Pikachu, ride on Skarmory and use thunderbolt!" Ash yells as Pikachu jumps onto the steel types back. "Clemont, go help Ben!"

"Got it, Ash." the blond inventor said as he runs down the hill, almost tripping twice on his own feet. "Bonnie, stay with Serena."

"No!" the little girl yells as she started down the hill.

"Dragon Rage!"

"BONNIE!" Ben screams as he finds the momentum to rush to her aid, by then Charmeleon escaped his pokeball and starts running after its trainer. The boy and Charmeleon shoves Bonnie away as the attack hits him.

Meanwhile in the future

Ash stops talking to Serena as he grits his teeth in pain. He then falls onto one knee as Serena runs to him.

"Its Ben." He mumbles wincing holding his side. "He's hurt."

Back to the past

"B-Ben!" Ash and everybody screams but as the smoke clears, a Charizard stood with its arms crossed over its trainer. Ben was standing in front of Bonnie with his arms outstretched. Then he fell down on one knee. "Serena, Clemont, Bonnie get him some help! I will buy you guys some time."

"Don't bother, you losers aren't worth fighting anymore." Kale says as he calls back his pokemon and disappears.

The son of the pokemon master winces in pain as he feels his arm. His Charmeleon had evolved into Charizard to protect him and Bonnie. He roars as Ben returns him and Skarmory.

"Ha, ha, that was dumb of me." The boy laughs before falling unconscious in Ash's arms.
