Hello Everyone! Welcome back for chapter 10 and by the way, Merry Christmas!
Japan: (sweatdropped) Leinne-chan, you really excited about Christmas, do you?
Yup!
Philippines: Let her be. She has a lot spirits like Ash and Alfred.
Ash: Wow. It looks like that you have a energy that you got there.
Yeah. And there's more! Ash and Serena kissed in episode 47 in Pokemon XYZ before Serena takes off to Hoenn! (Fangirling scream)
Bonnie: Yeah, I know! I was there, too.
Ash & Serena: (blushed madly) You saw that?!
Hungary: (popped out nowhere) Did you said that Ash and Serena kissed on the lips? (Excited)
Philippines: Yes it is! It's like a dream come true! (Squealing)
Japan: Hai, Hungary-san. They kissed before they left. (Sparkle in the background)
Hungary: Yes! I won the bet on Prussia.
You really bet on Prussia, didn't you?
Hungary: Yup. Now if you excuse me, I'll be on way to see Prussia.(leave)
America: Congratulations, Ash! You make us very proud!
England: Huh? They kissed. Nice work anyway.
Ash: Ummm... Thanks.
Okay. That's enough. Let's start this chapter before I die because of fangirl screaming. Onto the show!
"Want some more, Dedenne?" Bonnie asked her Electric Type Pokémon. The four trainers, three nations and Bonnie were all on their way to Cyllage City for Ash's, Kiku's and Alfred's second Kalos Gym battle.
The six were currently on their way to head to the next town's Pokémon Center for a break as they were walking in the woods that led to the town. Serena and Maria had Fennekin and Slyveon out with them right now.
Kiku and Alfred had his Pikachu named Hiro and Munchlax out, walking with them together. Ash and Serena were talking together as Bonnie seemed to be feeding Dedenne pieces of bread as she gave Dedenne some more.
Clemont watched as he watched with a sheepish smile. "Bonnie, it isn't a good idea to give Dedenne so many snacks at once." Clemont reminded, as his little sister looked up at him in confusion.
"Huh? Why isn't it?" Bonnie asked.
"Because when mealtime rolls around, it won't be hungry! Pokémon food is well formulated to give Pokémon a once and healthy diet!" Clemont explained.
Alfred heard the whole thing as he snickered. "Tell that to Chespin... It always wants to take a bite out of Serena's macaron and eats more than usual! Remember, when we met old man Wylie and his wife?" He reminded.
Clemont frowned at that, trying to change the subject. "Could you not bring that up, Alfred? It's kind of embarrassing." Clemont groaned as he sighed.
"Sorry. I'm just saying..." Alfred apologized.
"Classic, Alfred. You always joking around." Maria sighed as she shook her head.
"What?" Alfred asked in disbelief.
"So... that would mean it would be better if I don't give Dedenne any snacks at all..." Bonnie sighed as Dedenne felt disappointed for not getting any more bread pieces. At the mention of that, Serena turned, surprised.
"Hold on. None at all?" Serena asked with a frown. Both she, Kiku, and Maria turned to show the two siblings that they were giving their Pokémon some snacks. Serena had Fennekin eat her favorite snack, a twig and Maria gave her Slyveon a Pecha Berry.
Kiku was giving Hiro a few apples for them to snack on. Munchlax and Alfred were munching on some apples as well, causing Clemont to chuckle. "Hold on. I'm sure a little bit is okay." Clemont assured.
"He's right. I give Pikachu some snacks, too. But, when it's time to eat, both of us are always hungry!" Ash explained, giving Pikachu an apple as his Electric Type took a bite out of it.
"Well, that's because the two of you like to eat a ton of food!" Serena reminded.
"Not to mention that your stomachs are like black holes just like Alfred and his Munchlax..." Maria added as a joke, shaking her head.
"Hey!" Alfred pouted.
"What? I just saying?" Maria bluntly said, giving her Slyveon a little snack.
"W-Well... You sure seem to know a lot about Pokémon, don't you, Clemont?" Ash asked.
"Sure he is! Remember, he's the Lumiose Gym Leader! Though, he doesn't look like it..." Bonnie reminded as her older brother sweat dropped at that last statement.
"Doesn't look like it?" Clemont repeated.
With that said, the group continued walking as they continued the conversation about food and diets for their Pokémon. "Well... I do need to learn more about being a trainer... For Fennekin and me!" Serena reminded.
"That's right... Being a good trainer also means to check your Pokémon's health, whether if it is hungry or not." Kiku agreed as he finished off the apple he was snacking on.
"You feel healthy, right, buddy?" Ash asked.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu agreed. Just then, the Vaniville girl ran up to the front, taking out her Kalos Guide device.
"I've got an idea! Let's take a break at the Pokémon Center! The next town shouldn't be so far away!" Serena suggested.
"That's not a bad idea. Our Pokémon do need to be checked up anyway." Kiku agreed.
"Yay! Hear that, Dedenne?" Bonnie asked as she looked at her small bag, only to not get an answer.
Bonnie blinked as she looked at the bag. "Dedenne?... Ah! Dedenne suddenly disappeared!" Bonnie gasped. The six trainers all turned in surprise and gasped, seeing that it was true.
"Dedenne!" Bonnie cried out.
"Hey! Dedenne! Where did you go!?" Ash called. Ever since Dedenne had disappeared from Bonnie's bag, everyone spread around to search for the Electric-Fairy Type Pokémon.
"Dedenne!"
"Dedenne! Where are you!?" Everyone cried out. Alfred narrowed his eyes as he looked around with Serena, Maria, Slyveon and Munchlax, trying to see if they could find the little one somewhere in the trees.
Suddenly, the Vaniville girl gasped as Maria called out in surprise.
"Dedenne!?" Maria blurted out as Slyveon cried out her surprise. The others ran over to see that Dedenne was in front of a tree.
"Oh! Dedenne, there you are!" Bonnie cried out.
Clemont adjusted his glasses as he looked up at the tree. "I get it..." he replied.
"That little one must've wanted berries for another snack!" Alfred chuckled.
"Its stomach is like a bottomless pit!" Serena giggled, seeing how Dedenne tried to get up to the tree. Bonnie ran over to check up on the Electric-Fairy Type. She got ahold of it, smiling sadly.
"Come on, Dedenne. You should know that you shouldn't have run off like that!" Bonnie reminded with a sad smile.ŕr
"Dedenne?" Dedenne asked as it cocked his head with a silly smile.
After their search was done, the group went to the town's Pokémon Center, where Ash, Alfred, Maria, Kiku, Clemont, and Serena gave their Pokéballs to Nurse Joy for a check up. Bonnie was tucking Dedenne into her small bag.
The little Pokémon seemed to enjoying his nap as the little girl giggled, closing her bag. Suddenly, as Bonnie looked up, there was a young woman who seemed to be in a middle of a call.
Back to the six trainers, Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff came over, giving the Pokéballs back to the group. Pikachu and Slyveon ran over to their trainers as the Electric Type jumped in Ash's arms.
"Hey, Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed as Pikachu grinned, feeling overjoyed for having his health all replenished.
"Hey, Slyveon! Glad to see that your check up is all finished!" Maria replied with a smile. "Sly Slyveon." Slyveon replied with a nod and a smile as well.
"Your Pokémon are all in great health!" Nurse Joy explained.
"Wigglytuff!" Wigglytuff replied as she gave the Pokéballs back.
"Thanks a lot, Nurse Joy." "Wow, that's great!" Ash, Alfred and Serena thanked as their took their Pokéballs with them.
"Thanks for the help, Nurse Joy." "Thanks for your help!" Kiku, Maria and Clemont thanked together.
Just then, they heard Bonnie talking to some random woman, the same one on the phone.
"Excuse me, miss?" Bonnie asked.
The woman turned, blinking in surprise to see Bonnie with her. "Would you please take care of my brother? You're a keeper!" She exclaimed.
All the six trainers widened their eyes in shock as Clemont yelled in panic. "I TOLD YOU TO STOP THIS A MILLION TIMES!" He bellowed as he held his head in embarrassment.
His younger sister ignored him however, and continued on. "He may not look like it, but he's actually a Gym Leader! He's got a great future looking at him, but I can't take care of him forever..." Bonnie continued as she smiled wider.
"So, I thought that you might be a dependable wife- Ah!" She started again, only for her older brother to grab her with his Aipom Arm device.
"Ahh! Think about it, please!" Bonnie called out as she was dragged away.
Clemont closed his eyes in annoyance as he glared at his younger sister. "This is so embarrassing... Why do you do this?" Clemont scolded as Bonnie pouted, not believing of what her brother was saying.
"Duh. Because I care about you!" Bonnie answered with a pout.
"You can care about me by minding your own business!" Clemont snapped as Bonnie tried to explain once again.
"But-" "I can just take care of myself, Bonnie. Do you understand!?" "But, I just-" "No buts! Do you understand!?" The two siblings argued back and forth as Alfred, Maria, Kiku, Ash, and Serena giggled.
"They never quit when they're bickering with each other, huh?" Kiku chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. By the time the argument was done, the woman already left the Center.
"Hey! Now that everybody's feeling better, how about we have a battle?" Ash suggested, feeling fired up for some training.
"Geez, I don't know, Ash. My Slyveon is always nervous during battles." Maria said nervously, worrying her Pòkemon.
"C'mon Maria, don't be shy. You always pumped up in battles." Alfred assured.
"Yeah, it will be fun if Slyveon boost her confidence." Ash said.
"Sure thing, Ash. I could go for some warm up." Maria agreed.
"Yeah! That's a great idea!" Clemont agreed along. Serena pointed out the way where the field might be.
"I think I saw the battlefield right there!" Serena explained, pointing the way out.
"Let's go!" Ash called out.
So, the six trainers began to leave the Center towards the battlefield, while Bonnie remembered something.
"Ah! Wait for me!" Bonnie pleaded as she ran to grab her bag.
Once she got her small, yellow bag, the little girl followed her three friends and her big brother out to the battlefield outside. At the battlefield, Ash and Maria were facing each other for a practice battle.
Maria had Slyveon out, while Ash had Pikachu out. "Good luck, you two!" "Pikachu and Slyveon! Good luck to you, too!" Serena and Bonnie called out.
"Go Maria! Go Ash! You can do it!" Alfred cheered.
"Ash, Maria, give it all you got!" Kiku cheered even though that he not good at cheering, but he tried his best.
Clemont took his position as referee.
"Alright then! Battle begin!" Clemont declared, starting the practice battle.
"Ready, Slyveon? I know that you are nervous for your first battle, but let's give it all you, okay? " Maria called.
"Sly!" Slyveon responded with a nod as battle began.
"Alright, Slyveon! Start this off with Iron Tail!" Maria cried out. Slyveon glared at her Electric Type opponent as she ran, glowing her tail silver to hit Pikachu.
"Pikachu, counter with Quick Attack!" Ash called.
Pikachu ran fast, bashing into Slyveon, while negating her attack.
"No way!" Maria gasped, as her Fairy Type skidded back, shaking her head.
"Are you okay, Slyveon!?" Maria asked worriedly.
"Slyveon!" Slyveon replied with a nod and a determined look. Her debut as a battler started to make her strong as she got ready for some real training to be on action.
"Okay then! Next, use Swift!" Maria shouted. The Fairy Type shot golden stars at Pikachu, as Ash got ready.
"Dodge, then use Iron Tail, Pikachu!" Ash shouted out.
Pikachu dodged most of the stars, but several hit him, as Pikachu gritted his teeth in pain. "Keep it going, Pikachu!" Ash called.
The Mouse Pokémon held on to his feet as he launched his Iron Tail attack.
"I don't think so! Slyveon, block it with your feelers!" Yuki shouted. Slyveob whipped Pikachu, negating Iron Tail as the Kanto trainer and his Electric Type Pokémon gasped in surprise.
"Oh no!" Ash gasped as Pikachu landed on the ground, facing Slyveon, who smirked in determination. Both Serena, Alfred, Kiku, and Clemont grew impressed as the practice battle went on.
"Wow... They both are moving so well!" Serena complimented.
"Yeah. And despite of Slyveon battling the first time, she's really getting into this battle!" Kiku added.
As the two kept watching, Bonnie blinked, as she felt something moving in her small, yellow bag. As she looked, two black, pointy ears popped out of the bag. The little girl blinked in surprise at this.
"H-Huh? What's this?" Bonnie asked as her brother and Serena looked at her.
"Bonnie, what's wrong?" Clemont asked as he and Serena looked. Bonnie frowned, seeing the black ears.
"Those sure don't look like Dedenne's ears to me!" Bonnie explained as she pointed at the ears. The two looked as they both frowned as well.
"No, they don't..." Serena agreed.
"Hold on... Could those be..." Alfred started, until the bag opened up. It was not Dedenne, but rather a different Pokémon! It looked a lot like Pikachu, only that it was smaller.
The tiny Pokémon looked up at Bonnie, who widened her eyes in surprise.
"Who's that Pokémon?" Serena asked as the little Pokémon jumped out of the bag. It ran off, before turning to face the three.
"Ah! It's a Pichu! But what's it doing inside your bag!?" Clemont gasped.
"I... I don't know..." Bonnie answered, fearing of what happened to Dedenne. Suddenly, the Pokémon, Pichu looked as if it was about to tear up.
It shot a Thundershock at Serena and Bonnie, as Clemont, Kiku and Alfred gasped.
"Bonnie, watch out!" Serena shrieked as she dove towards the ground with the little girl. Clemont, Kiku and Alfred dove to the other side to evade the attack.
The missed Thundershock exploded near the building, causing both Ash and Maria to be startled. Slyveon, and Pikachu all turned in surprise, as they were startled with the small explosion as well.
"What's that!?" Maria asked.
"A Thundershock attack!?" Ash replied in shock.
They both ran over to see their three friends.
"Are you okay!?" Ash cried as he and Pikachu ran over, with Maria and Slyveon following.
"What happened here?" Maria asked.
"Ugh... That Pokémon... it was in Bonnie's bag!" Serena explained as everyone turned to the frightened Pichu.
"Pichu!?" Ash gasped, seeing the pre-evolved Pokémon of Pikachu.
"We've just got to stop it somehow!" Clemont reminded.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted out. Pikachu responded as he shot the Electric Type attack at the little Pichu, snapping it out of its shock.
The Pichu squealed and yelped as it rolled back in surprise. Pikachu ran over, holding onto his pre-evolved form as the group ran over.
"Are you okay?" Ash asked.
"Pikachu..." "Pichu..." The two Electric Types answered.
Maria sighed in relief as she got up. "Looks like the little one is just fine now!" Maria giggled with a smile.
"What a total surprise! And what a totally cute Pokémon!" Serena giggled as she took out her Pokédex.
"Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokémon. The electric sacs on Pichu's cheeks are small. If it tries to store more electricity than they can hold, Pichu will shock itself."
"Pichu can evolve into a Pikachu! Isn't that right?" Clemont asked.
"Right!" Ash agreed as the group turned to the two Electric Types.
"Pikachu!" "Pichu! The two cried out with smiles on their faces.
"I was wondering that how in the world Pichu could've gone to your bag..." Kiku wondered.
Bonnie began to panic as she flipped her bag over, shaking it down. "Dedenne? Where's Dedenne?... Ah! This isn't my bag!" Bonnie gasped as she widened her eyes, knowing what could've happened.
"Huh!? Not your bag!?" Alfred repeated.
"Let's go back to the place where you last put your bag." Kiku suggested. Everyone agreed as they all ran back to the Pokémon Center to where Bonnie put her bag in.
"This is it... This is where I put my bag..." Bonnie explained.
"I guess that this is possible that somebody took your bag by mistake!" Serena guessed.
"You mean, that someone has the same bag as Bonnie, right?" Maria asked.
"Right... And, if that's the case, then we'll just have to find them." Clemont pointed out.
Ash crouched down, putting a hand over Bonnie's shoulder. "Don't worry. We'll just ask Nurse Joy! She'll help!" Ash assured.
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.
So, the seven went over to the main desk, asking Nurse Joy about another girl that could've had the same bag as Bonnie. Nurse Joy thought it over, before remembering something.
"There was a little girl who had a similar bag, and was with her older sister, who happens to be a trainer." Nurse Joy explained.
"Wigglytuff!" Wigglytuff agreed as it walked over.
"Then, that's it! Do you remember what the little girl looks like?" Ash asked.
"Let me see... Ah! I remember! She wore a red ribbon in her hair!" Nurse Joy answered as she explained.
"A red ribbon... Then, that must be the girl... The only problem is... It would take a while to find her if she went somewhere far..." Kiku explained as he crossed his arms with a frown.
"Still... They couldn't have gone that far... Let's all go and look." Ash reminded.
"Okay." "Pika!" Serena and Pikachu agreed. Bonnie sighed, feeling bad about what's going to happen to her Pokémon.
"It's my fault for not paying attention..." Bonnie groaned. Clemont put a hand on her shoulder with a smile.
"Now, don't worry. We'll find Dedenne." He assured with a smile.
Maria crouched down, smiling at the little Electric Type. "And Pichu, you don't have to worry about a thing. We'll find your trainer and your little girl, too!" She promised with a smile.
"Slyveon." Slyveon replied, as she gave a smile.
"Pichu!" Pichu cried out with a nod and a happy smile.
So, the six trainers and Bonnie all ran around the city to find the little girl and the trainer. They tried to ask the people of where they might be.
"Excuse me... Did you see a little girl with a red ribbon in her hair? We really need to find her!" Ash called out.
As everyone looked around, Serena blinked, seeing a man walking by.
"Huh? Hey, Ash! Look!" Serena called. Ash, Alfred, Kiku, Clemont, and Bonnie turned to see a man walking by with a red ribbon in his hands.
"A red ribbon!" Ash pointed out.
"Hey, you! Wait!" Bonnie cried out as they all ran after the , however, Maria had something else in her mind.
"Sly?" Slyveon asked, confused.
"A girl with a red ribbon... Ah! There! There she is!" Maria called out.
The Fairy Type Pokémon turned to see a little girl in a small blue dress running by. She had a red ribbon in her hair.
And, she seemed to be carrying a small, yellow bag that looked just like Bonnie's!
"That bag... That must be where Dedenne is... HEY! Hey, kid! Wait up!" Maria called out, running after her.
"Slyveon!" Slyveon called as she and her partner ran after the little girl with the red ribbon in her hair. As Maria and Slyveon ran to the little girl, Maria grabbed her shoulder and turned her around.
The little girl squealed in shock of being turned around by a complete stranger. "Eek! Ah... Who... Who are you?" The little girl asked.
Maria was about to answer when something came out of the yellow bag.
It was Dedenne! "Dedenne!" The small Pokémon cried out with a smile.
"I knew it! Dedenne, there you are!" Maria cried out, holding the Electric-Fairy Type Pokémon, with Slyveon sighing in relief.
"Um... I'm confused... Are you this little one's trainer?" The little girl asked. Maria blinked, before realizing she had startled a girl.
"Oh no... Sorry... This Dedenne belongs to a friend of mine." Maria answered.
She crouched down, looking at the girl. "Are you perhaps... Pichu's trainer?" Maria asked, causing the little girl to widen her eyes.
"P-Pichu!? Oh, do you know where my sister's Pichu is!? I was supposed to take care of her and..." The little girl exclaimed.
The South East Asian shushed her with a smile and told her to calm down. "Slow down. One at a time. Yes, I know where your sister's Pichu is. It's with a couple of friends of mine." Maria answered.
She then stood back up, continuing. "You see, you kind of accidentally switched your bag with my friend's little sister! She has your bag with Pichu, while you have her bag with Dedenne!" Maria explained.
The little girl sighed, then smiled in relief. "Oh... What a relief!"
The girl sighed. The dark brunette nation sighed as she looked at Dedenne. "Now, let's see if we can get back with the others, alright?" Maria reminded.
She looked at Dedenne, who for some reason was missing again. "What!?" "Sly!?" "Ah! Oh no!" The three gasped in shock as they looked around for Dedenne once again.
"No, not again... Dedenne, where did you go!?" Maria called out.
"Slyveon! Sly!" Slyveon called.
The girl frantically searched for Dedenne, frowning. "Oh no... I don't see that little one anywhere!" The girl groaned.
Slyveon glanced around, before spotting the little Pokémon. "Sly! Slyveon!" Slyveon called, pointing at Dedenne.
"Ah... There! Dedenne!" Maria called as she and her partner ran for the little one.
"There you are!" The girl called as she followed the nation and the Fairy Type Pòkemon to the Antenna Pokémon, with Maria kneeling down to look at it.
"Dedenne... Why did you run off like that again?" Maria asked.
Before Dedenne could answer, Slyveon chuckled and pointed to where the Antenna Pokémon was staring at. "Sly Slyveon..." Slyveon explained, pointing at a doughnut truck.
"Oh... I get it! You want to have a doughnut, don't you?" The girl giggled. "Dedenne!" Dedenne cried out happily with a nod. The South East Asian frowned, knowing that would mean giving away more snacks.
"But... It's not even mealtime yet..." Maria reminded as Slyveon shook her head. "Sly, slyveon..." Slyveon sighed, telling her partner to just leave them be. For that, Slyveon seemed to agree.
"You're right... We should just leave them be..." Maria muttered with a sigh. Dedenne cheered for another snack coming up as the girl got up, running to the doughnut truck to buy a doughnut.
"Uh, excuse me!? I was wondering if we could get a few doughnuts, please?" The girl asked.
"Dedenne!" Dedenne cried out for the food at the same time. As they were ordering doughnuts, Maria glanced back at the town.
"I wonder how Ash, Alfred and the others are doing... None of us have anything to contact each other with... Did they find Pichu's trainer?" Maria asked herself as she bit her lips.
"Sly..." Slyveon replied, looking at the town as well.
While Maria was with the girl, Ash, Serena, Clemont, Kiku, Alfred and Bonnie were all searching around for Dedenne and the little girl with the red ribbon in her hair. They were apparently asking people some questions.
"I was wondering if you seen a little girl with a red ribbon in her hair..." Kiku explained.
The woman with her son frowned and sadly shook her head. "No, I haven't. Sorry." The woman answered.
Clemont, Alfred, and Bonnie were asking a man with a Furfrou, but got the same negative result. "Okay... Thanks." Clemont sighed. For Ash, he seemed to have gotten an answer from someone.
As they all met up, the Kanto trainer explained his news. "Hey! A woman told me that she saw a little girl with a red ribbon in her hair at the park!" Ash explained, running over to his three friends.
He then looked around, frowning. "But... I wonder where Maria and Slyveon are, though..." Ash wondered as he looked around.
"She must be looking for Dedenne in a different way..." Serena guessed.
"You're right, Serena. I haven't seen her anyway. She must be found the little girl with the red ribbon."
"It would might be. C'mon guys, let's go to the park." Alfred declared as others nodded and went to the park where little girl and Maria might be.
"Here!" The girl replied, handing a piece of doughnut to Dedenne. The Antenna Pokémon's eyes sparkled as he accepted the piece and began eating it. The girl giggled as she took her piece and began eating.
"It's yummy!" The girl commented as the two ate. The dark brunette nation and Slyveon watched as they were eating up the doughnut. Recalling of what Clemont said, Maria made her reminder.
"I'm glad that you like it, but... It's not a good idea to give Pokémon so many snacks at once, you know..." Maria explained, as she gained a confused look from the little girl.
"Huh? Why not?" The girl asked.
"Didn't someone tell you? Give too many snacks to your Pokémon and they won't be hungry. It's important for them to have meal times at a proper time." Maria explained, making her lecture.
"Slyveon, Sly." Slyveon agreed, nodding along.
"Oh... I see..." The girl sighed as she pouted. They all turned to see Dedenne finishing up its doughnut piece, giving the girl an idea.
"I know!... Just stay still, okay?" The girl asked as she took a ribbon out of her small pouch bag. Maria blinked in curiosity, with Dedenne in confusion.
"Ah ha! So cute!" The girl commented happily.
Slyveon giggled sheepishly, seeing that the girl had made a ribbon on the Antenna Pokémon's ear. Maria thought it over about Pokémon ownership. "Was she even allowed to do that?" She thought.
She then shook it off, calling to the girl."Oh hey... I don't think you told me your name." Maria reminded, leaving the girl to answer her.
"I'm Lyn! What's your name?" Lyn asked, with the dark brunette nation answering.
"I'm Maria! And this is my friend, Slyveon!" Maria explained, gesturing to her Fairy Type Eevee Evolution.
"Slyveon!" Slyveon greeted as she smiled at the little girl as Lyn awed in amazement.
"So cute!" Lyn commented.
She then recalled something as she smiled sheepishly. "Pichu is really cute... And I care about it a whole bunch... But, I also like that Pokémon too!" Lyn smiled.
Maria frowned, wondering what she was thinking. "You're not... thinking of... taking Dedenne as your own? I mean... This Dedenne belongs to a friend of mine... And she has Pichu with her." She explained.
That caused Lyn to lose her smile as she sighed. "Oh... right... I guess your friend is looking for that little guy..." Lyn agreed as she sighed. Dedenne then ran over as Maria placed a hand on Lyn's shoulder.
"Tell you what. Why don't we all go back to the Pokémon Center? Maybe we'll find Pichu and my other friends there!" Maria suggested, leaving the little girl to smile.
"Okay! That sounds like a good idea!" Lyn agreed.
So, with everything settled, the two left with Slyveon and Dedenne as they all ran back to the Pokémon Center to wait for Ash and the others, along with Pichu and its trainer.
But, as soon as the two left, Ash, Clemont, Serena, Alfred, Kiku and Bonnie came by as they all looked around.
"Hah... hah... This is it! This is where the woman saw her going to the park!" Ash explained.
Serena frowned, looking back at Bonnie. "I guess she already left... Maybe Maria is with her! But... if we don't find her... I'm afraid it may be too late..." Serena guessed as Clemont looked back.
"Oh! I just thought of something! But... I just need some time." Clemont explained, with Kiku looking back with a serious glare.
"It sounds to me like you have a plan!" He guessed.
"Yeah! There's something that I want to do that might just do the trick!" Clemont explained as he ran up to the top of the hill along Alfred, gathering his tools and stuff. They prepared to make a machine as the others waited.
"I wonder if Pichu's trainer saw what happened yet?" Serena asked, worried.
"I sure hope we can find Dedenne soon... Along with both Maria and Slyveon..." Ash agreed, looking back.
The three looked to see Pikachu and Pichu playing together as both of them ran around happily. They were playing with Bonnie, playing tag with each other. The three ran to an apple tree, where Pichu had stopped.
It looked up at the apple tree in wonder as both Bonnie and Pikachu noticed its attention. The Electric Type looked up at the tree, and smiled, knowing of what his pre-evolved form wanted.
"Pikachu?" Pikachu asked, pointing at the apples. Pichu blinked, as its evolved form ran to the tree, climbing on it. The Mouse Pokémon then picked an apple out of a tree branch, and threw it to Pichu!
Startled, Pichu ran and grabbed the apple before biting on it. Bonnie giggled as she saw the two Electric Types eating apples together, with each having one. Ash and Serena walked over, both smiling.
"They look like they're from the same family!" Ash pointed out, seeing the two getting along.
"Yeah! They do! Bonnie, don't you think so, too?... Bonnie?" Serena exclaimed before she looked at the little girl.
Clemont's little sister wasn't answering, which looked like she was thinking about Dedenne. She heard sniffling, as the ravenette smiled softly.
"Don't worry, Bonnie. We'll find Dedenne soon!" Kiku assured.
"H-Hm?" Bonnie hiccupped, wiping her tears away. Seeing her cry caused the little Pichu to frown. So, the little Electric Type jumped onto Bonnie, and began nuzzling her face!
That made the little girl better as she giggled and smiled.
"Thanks, Pichu..." Bonnie giggled, holding the little Electric Type. She then nuzzled Pikachu's pre-evolved form back, while the others chuckled in relief.
Maria and Lyn were walking around the town, trying to find the Pokémon Center. Maria, for some reason, didn't seem to know where they were.
"This is funny... I don't remember going this way at all!" Maria admitted.
Lyn frowned as she looked around. "I don't know which way to get to the Pokémon Center, either... Are we lost?" Lyn asked. That caused Maria to cringe as she made a fake smile.
"N-No... We should be fine. I just have to know where we are, and then we might get some directions to the Pokémon Center!" Maria assured.
"Oh... Okay..." Lyn sighed, feeling doubtful.
"Slyv... Slyveon." Slyveon muttered to her partner as Maria narrowed her eyes.
"What... Do you have any other plans, Slyveon?" Maria asked, causing the Slyveon to sweat drop.
"Sly." Slyveon answered, shaking her head. With that said, Maria, Slyveon, and Lyn began to walk slowly to where the Pokémon Center might be. As they were walking, Hawlucha noticed something.
"Sly!? Slyveon!" Slyveon exclaimed in shock, pointing at Lyn's yellow bag. Both human and nation turned in surprise as they looked at the small bag as well. It was empty, much to their surprise.
"HUH!? Gone again!?" Lyn shrieked.
"Not again... Dedenne!" Maria groaned as she face palmed. Frantically, Lyn ran off, leaving the dark brunette nation and her Fairy Type partner behind.
"I can't believe it keeps running off! Where are you!?" Lyn shrieked as she searched for Dedenne.
"What... HEY! You can't run off like that alone!" Maria warned as she ran after the girl.
"Slyv!" Slyveon called, causing the two to run after her. As they were all running, Lyn suddenly stopped, as she looked at a shop and Slyveon stopped as well to see.
The display showed lots of Pokémon Dolls. But, there was something strange. One of the dolls looked just like Dedenne, and it seemed to be moving! "What the... Dedenne!?" Maria gasped.
"What is it doing in there!?" Lyn exclaimed in shock. The human and nation ran into the shop to collect Dedenne, while Slyveon stayed behind, groaning in disappointment. "Sly... Slyveon..." Slyveon grumbled to herself.
She said to herself: "Why does this always happen?".
Later, the two got the Antenna Pokémon out of the shop, as the little girl sighed in relief. "Aw... I'm glad I put that ribbon on you..." Lyn sighed.
She nuzzled the sleeping Antenna Pokémon with Maria and Slyveon watching. "I can only imagine the things you put your trainer through with your games..." Lyn giggled slightly.
That caused Maria to sweat drop, knowing that the trainer Lyn could be saying is Clemont, with the caretaker as Bonnie. She looked at the sky, sighing. "I wonder how the others are doing..." Maria muttered.
"Sly..." Slyveon agreed as she looked up at the sky, too.
"Heh heh heh! Thank you for your patience! The future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, on! Here is my new invention that will solve our problem in an instant!" Clemont declared.
He and Alfred revealed a machine that looked like a solar ray with the machine at the bottom, followed by an electricity amount meter. "We call it... the Radio-Wave Amplification Device!" Alfred announced.
Ash, Serena, and Bonnie were all confused. "Radio?..." "Ampli-what?" "Uh... Device?" The three all asked together.
"Pikachu?" Even Pikachu was confused at the radio-wave invention.
"Allow me to explain! If you recall, Dedenne was able to sense Pikachu's electricity! This invention here converts Pikachu's electricity into radio-waves and amplifies them!" Clemont reminded.
"Of course. They are both an Electric Type Pòkemon, right?" Kiku said.
"That's right. If we broadcast those waves, Dedenne should be able to sense them... I think!" Clemont explained.
The Kanto trainer immediately grew impressed with the device as his eyes sparkled in admiration."Oh wow! Science is so amazing!" Ash exclaimed in delight as Alfred nodded in glee.
The Lumiose Gym Leader chuckled before turning to Pikachu.
"May I have some of your assistance, Pikachu?" Clemont asked. Pikachu answered with a nod as he was set onto the machine by Clemont.
"We're counting on you, Pikachu!" Ash assured.
"Go for it, Pikachu!" Alfred cheered.
"You can do it, Pikachu!" Bonnie cried out in encouragement. With everything in place, the Lumiose Gym Leader held onto the lever, as he looked at the Kanto trainer in his signal.
"We're all set! Now, Ash! It's your turn!" Clemont called. Ash nodded, as he gave the order.
"Right... Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!" Ash called. The Electric Type nodded as he unleashed his power.
The electricity began to power up the machine as Clemont got ready. "Alright! Here we go, then! And... FIRE!" Clemont yelled. He pushed onto the lever, which activated the machine.
The stored electricity was shot into the air. Once it was high enough, it was enough to create radio-waves! Now, all it needed to do was to attract Dedenne to them.
Maria and Lyn were still walking to the Pokémon Center along with Dedenne and Slyveon. As they were walking, Slyveon blinked, sensing something. She looked up at the sky, and widened her eyes.
"Sly! Slyveon!" Slyveon called as she pulled onto Maria's skirt. That caught the dark brunette nation's attention as she turned to her Slyveon. "What is it, Hawlucha?" She asked.
She glanced at the sky and noticed the radio-waves.
"What the... Are those... radio-waves?" Maria asked.
"Sly..." Slyveon replied in amazement. Dedenne seemed to have sensed it as it jumped out of Lyn's bag!
"Huh!? Hey! Where are you going!? Wait!" Lyn shouted as she ran after the Antenna Pokémon. The Maria and Slyveon turned, noticing another chase going on. The Hawlucha Boy narrowed his eyes.
"Dedenne must've sensed it, too! Could it be another one of Clemont's inventions?" Maria asked himself, with Slyveon shrugged her head in question. But, seeing that Lyn and Dedenne were far ahead, they ignored those thoughts at first.
The chase began with Slyveon and Maria running after Lyn and Dedenne. "H-Hey! Hold it right there!" Maria called.
"Sly! Slyveon!" Slyveon shouted as they ran after the two little ones.
Clemont frowned at his machine, seeing that the energy level didn't seem to fit right.
"What's wrong?" Ash asked. The Lumiose Gym Leader looked back, explaining his guessed problem.
"I think it needs more power to function more correctly!" Clemont explained. Ash narrowed his eyes and nodded.
"Alright, Pikachu! Give it more power!" Ash called. Pikachu sighed, before shooting a more power Thunderbolt attack.
The energy level of the machine started to nearly reach the top, as more power shot from the solar ray.
"Are you sure that this is safe?" Serena asked as she covered her mouth in doubt.
"Yeah, I think that your invention is starting to explode again." Kiku said nervously that was gonna be happen.
"Don't worry about it! Science can do anything!" Clemont assured.
"Okay, Pikachu! Just keep it going!" Ash called. However, as he said that, the machine began to overload, causing it to shake!
The electricity inside the machine exploded, taking everyone else with the explosion, too. They all screamed as they were shocked and knocked back onto the ground, with the machine getting destroyed.
As the smoke passed, everyone except Pikachu and Pichu had their hairs puffed up.
"Ugh..." Ash groaned as he slowly got up.
"Another Clemont's invention failed." Kiku mumbled as he was starting to stand up.
"Yep... I knew it..." Serena sighed, shaking her head.
"This machine went boom, too!" Bonnie pointed out in no surprise. Both Pikachu and Pichu all blinked in surprise to see that the invention had exploded and failed the group once again.
"Well, at least none of us got hurt." Alfred said sheepishly.
"Yeah... To think that it was functioning perfectly!" Clemont groaned. The Kanto trainer sighed as he put his puffed hair back to normal.
"Looks like we're gonna have to search for that little girl and Maria by foot again!" Ash sighed.
"Yeah, I guess so..." Serena agreed, frowning.
But, before anyone else could react or move, there was a familiar voice came by, saying Pichu's name. "Oh! Pichu!" A girl called out.
Everyone turned, with Pichu excitedly running out of Bonnie's bag. The small Electric Type ran to the teenage girl running towards it as it leapt to the girl's arms.
"Pichu! Oh, thank goodness!" The girl exclaimed happily.
The two hugged each other, before the teenager remembered something.
"Oh... But, where is Lyn?" The girl asked. Pichu cocked its head in confusion, which instantly answered the question.
"Uh... Are you?" Clemont called.
The girl looked up, noticing the group.
"Hold on... I remember you all back at the Pokémon Center!" The girl recalled as Kiku widened his eyes.
"Uh... Does that mean that you're Pichu's trainer?" Kiku asked.
"Yes... Yes, I am! My name's Lena! Were you the ones that found Pichu?" Lena asked. Serena frowned as she shook her head.
"I'm not sure if found is the right word..." Serena answered.
Bonnie was frantic as she jumped to the question of where Dedenne could be. "Dedenne!? Where is Dedenne!?" Bonnie shrieked.
Lena blinked in surprise before Clemont suggested a better place to talk. So, everyone headed near the fountain of the park, where the group explained about the accidental bag switch.
"Dedenne, huh?... It's probably with my little sister, Lyn..." Lena guessed, which Ash asked once again.
"Okay... So, where is she?" Ash asked. The older sister of Lyn shook her head with a frown.
"Well, to be honest, I don't know..." Lena answered, much to the group's shock.
"So... What happened?" Serena asked. Lena looked down at Pichu, and took a guess of her little sister's current location.
"Lyn probably realized that she had the wrong bag! I would think that she is looking for Pichu, now!" Lena explained with a sigh.
"I see... But, you say that you don't know, right?" Alfred asked.
"I don't! I've been looking everywhere for her just now! For all I know, she could've left town!" Lena guessed.
"But hold on... Maria and Slyveon left us, because maybe she found your little sister!" Serena guessed.
"Maria?" Lena asked in confusion.
"She's a friend of ours who has a Slyveon! She's got to be with Lyn!" Kiku assured.
"We all should hurry, then!" Alfred suggested, with the others agreeing.
"You're right! Let's all split up and search for the widest area we could think of!" Ash suggested.
"Yeah! Let's all give it our all!" Serena agreed.
"Right!" "Pichu!" Everyone, even Pichu agreed with the decision.
So, with that settled, the group and Lena made their ways to different directions to search for Lyn, Dedenne, Maria and Slyveon.
The chase for Lyn and Dedenne led both Maria and Slyveon out of town, to where the fields of berries were.
"Where are you going!? Slow down, please!" Lyn yelled, running after Dedenne.
"Dedenne! Wait! Hold it right there!" Maria shouted
"Sly Slyveon!" Slyveon called out as they kept running. As they were all running, Lyn blinked, seeing where Dedenne might be going.
"Hey... I think the Pokémon Center might be that way!" Lyn guessed. The guess caused Maria to look where they were going. Dedenne was running towards the berry field, causing the dark brunette nation to frown.
"Since when does a Pokémon Center settle with the berries?" Maria asked herself, with Slyveon frowning. The three all gave chase to the Antenna Pokémon, until it ran out of sight.
"Great... Dedenne is gone... Again!" Maria groaned as she slumped down, feeling tired of this situation.
"Sly Slyveon..." Slyveon sighed, comforting her best friend with a pat on the shoulder.
"But... Where are we now?" Lyn asked, looking around.
"I'm guessing this is what attracted Dedenne. A berry field..." Maria answered as he got up. The three walked across the field, searching for Dedenne.
As they were walking, Lyn widened her eyes, noticing the Electric Type.
"Ah! There it is!" Lyn exclaimed as she ran over to where she saw Dedenne disappear to.
"Hey, wait!" Maria called.
She and Slyveon ran after the girl, until she stopped to look underneath the bushes. "Hey! There you- AH!?" Lyn started, then shrieked.
"What..." Maria started as she looked down as well.
She then widened her eyes to see that Dedenne was being chased by a Beedrill while holding a few berries in its mouth!
"Gah! Beedrill!" Maria yelped as she jumped back. Slyveon glared at the Bug Type, ready to battle.
However, the Bug-Poison Type didn't seem to notice the human, the nation and Slyveon as its attention was focused on Dedenne. It lunged at Dedenne was a Poison Sting attack! Dedenne got out of the way, but the ribbon was ripped off of it.
The blow blew the Antenna Pokémon into the air as Maria and Slyveon gasped. "Ah!" "Dedenne, no!" "Slyv!" The three gasped. However, their worries were gone when Dedenne shot a Thundershock attack!
It zapped Beedrill before the Bug Type flew away to escape. "Whoa..." "Sly..." Maria and Slyveon were amazed at the power as Lyn squealed in triumph.
"Oh wow! You're really, really strong!" Lyn complimented.
Dedenne smirked as he bragged for his first victory. However, a few seconds passed as more Beedrill flew by angrily. Lyn screamed as she held onto the Antenna Pokémon tightly.
"Great... There's more of them! Run!" Maria yelled. She grabbed Lyn's hand, forcing her to run alongside her and Slyveon.
"AH! HELP!" Lyn cried, seeing the Beedrill group flying towards them.
Suddenly, Lyn tripped, causing her to squeal and let go of Maria's hand.
"What... NO!" Maria yelled, seeing that she lost Lyn's grip. The girl was surrounded by the Beedrill group, as she screamed in fright.
"No good... Slyveon! Give them a piece of your Moonblast!" Maria shouted. Slyveon nodded and shot the light pink ball, which exploded in the middle of the Beedrill group.
The Beedrill group was weakened, but they weren't finished yet. They turned their attention to Maria and Slyveon as they got ready.
"Hey! Why don't you all pick on someone your own sizes!" Maria taunted.
"Sly Slyveon!" Slyveon taunted, showing them a come gesture. One of the Beedrills grew ticked off as it shot into the air to attack.
"H-Hey... LOOK OUT!" "Dedenne!" Lyn and Dedenne screamed.
Before anyone else could react, a Thunderbolt zapped the attacking Beedrill, much to the humans, Dedenne's, and Slyveon's surprise. "That was... Thunderbolt!? But, that could only mean..." Maria started.
Her shock was interrupted by a familiar voice and people running towards him and the little girl. "Lyn!" "Maria! Slyveon!" Lena and Kiku shouted out.
"It's Lena!" "Kiku? Everyone?" Lyn and Maria replied.
The little girl ran for her little sister, as the two hugged each other. "Lyn, are you okay?" Lena asked.
"Y-Yeah! This nice girl and her Pokémon here saved me!" Lyn answered as she sniffled a little.
"Maria! How about you?" Serena asked in concern.
"I'm fine, thanks. And you all couldn't have picked a better time to help!" Maria complimented.
"Slyv!" Slyveon replied with a nod.
She stood between Pikachu and Dedenne, as the three all nodded to each other. "Hiro!" "Dedenne!" "Slyveon!" Kiku, Clemont, and Maria shouted out. Their Pokémon were ready as the boys shouted out their attacks.
"Use Thunderbolt!" "Moonblast, let's go!" "Dedenne, use Thundershock!" The three attacks zapped and exploded on the Beedrill group, sending them away flying into the air!
Once they were all gone, Maria smirked, making a triumphant fist. "Yes!" "Yay, Dedenne!" Ash and Bonnie cheered. Clemont's sister ran over to her Electric Type as she embraced the Antenna Pokémon.
Lyn smiled, before tears streamed out of her eyes.
"WAAHH! I'm... sorry!" Lyn wailed as she hugged her older sister. Lena smiled softly as she hugged her little sister back.
"Now, it's alright. I'm just glad that you're okay." Lena assured.
Lyn kept crying as Bonnie watched. She felt tears coming out of her eyes too, as she started to sniffle a little. Dedenne blinked in surprise as it looked up at its caretaker, who started to cry.
"Oh... Dedenne... I'm so sorry... WAAHHH!" Bonnie yelled as she started to cry. Clemont sighed in relief as he comforted his little sister. The two little girls cried before they stopped a little.
At the same time, Ash's and Alfred's stomachs growled, causing them to feel a little embarrassed.
"Uh... I guess, I should be sorry, too..." Ash sighed.
"Yeah. Me too." Alfred chuckled sheepishly.
Everyone laughed at the Kanto trainer's and nation's embarrassment as they all prepared for supper.
Supper was ready as Clemont prepared the food. Kiku helped out too as they spread the meal around the table. Serena and Maria poured some tea to drink.
"Alright, dig in, everyone! It's all ready!" Serena exclaimed.
"Thank you!" Lena thanked as Ash grinned at the meal set up.
"It looks delicious!" Ash admitted as he got ready to eat. Lena looked at the dark brunette nation, saying her words of thanks.
"Maria, right? I'd like to thank you and Slyveon for taking care of Lyn for me! I don't think that she would still be here if you haven't been around..." Lena thanked, causing Maria to smile back.
"It's nothing, Lena. I'm just glad to be helpful." Maria replied with smile on her faces. Serena then noticed both Dedenne and Pichu sighing.
"Dedenne? Pichu? Aren't you two going to eat?" Serena asked. Both Electric Type shook their heads in response, saying something like they were full of some sort.
"Dedenne..." "Pichu!" The two called out.
That caused both Lena and Clemont to glare at their little sisters as they got up, calling out to them.
"Stop right there, Lyn! Have you been giving out snacks AGAIN?" Lena snapped.
"Bonnie! I told you-!" Clemont snapped, causing the two girls to cringe as they nervously looked back. Slowly and cautiously, the two little girls turned to face their older siblings before sticking their tongue out.
They then ran off, resulting for Clemont and Lena to chase after them! Maria, Kiku, Alfred, Ash, and Serena all watched, with Pikachu, Slyveon, Dedenne, and Pichu as they all laughed nervously at the sibling battle.
"I missed them already, guys." Maria sadly smiled as Alfred patted her shoulder to comfort.
"I know, but don't worry. We will return our dimension as soon Artie find the right spell." Alfred assured.
"Yeah. He will figure it out the spell to return our home" Kiku said as the three nations looked up the sky, hoping that they, including Arthur, Matthew, Francis, Yao, Feliciano, Antonio and Elizaveta will return their dimension.
And cut! That's awesome, everyone!
Philippines: You giving me a wild goose chase. (sweatdropped)
Hehehehehe... Sorry Piri-chan.
Bonnie: At least, I'm happy that Dedenne return to me. Thanks, Piri-chan.
Philippines: It's was nothing (blushed modesty)
Okay, review me for more stories. Until next time. Paalam~!
