Ash was nearing Chargestone Cave when he spotted someone he knew outside of a cave entrance. He walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder she jumped and turned "Ash don't scare me like that but I am glad you are here I can use your help with something."

"Sure what can I help you with Professor?"

"Ash after what we did I am sure you can call me Juniper." Ash blushed a little remembering that night "anyways what I need your help with is Jenny caught someone with a strange machine outside of the cave but we have no clue what it does and so I came out here to see if the cave had something to do with it."

Ash took the machine she was holding out to him he took and began to scan through it and had then plugged his Pokedex into it and Jarvis was going to run through and see what he could find. But Ash found the answer "Umm is there somewhere where we can find electronic Pokemon like Magnemite around here."

She pointed to the cave "yeah we have Klink inside of the cave come with me I will show you."

He followed her into the cave and they came upon a Klink, Klinklang and Klang. Ash held up the device and activated it and they fell to the ground. Juniper was shocked "The device temporarily interrupts the electronic signal they use to operate and knocks them out. I think he was using to make them easier to catch speaking of which." Ash pulled out three Poke balls and caught the Pokemon "They will be fine in about a minute. Now the device he is using isn't illegal but the purpose he was going to use it for could be."

Ash handed her the device back "I will be sure to inform Jenny of this and see if we can't found what he was using it for and I will make sure this gets to your dad."

Ash nodded his head "Take care Juniper I will see you again."

She grabbed him and turned him around and kissed him "You sure you don't want to stick around and have some fun."

Ash gave her a smile "as tempting as that is a cave is no place to do it and second don't you need to inform Jenny of your development."

She pouted "you're right next time though there is no getting away."

Ash walked out of the cave with Juniper as they exited she went back to her car and Ash continue don down the road. As he walked down the road Jarvis chimed in "sir I have copied the program signal and I could repeat what the machine did if ever the need arises."

"Thank you Jarvis we may never know when we will need it."

Ash came upon three cave entrances that weren't on the map. He decided to check it out and he read the riddle and Ash figured which cave wasn't the one filled with traps. Ash walked down the tunnel and along the way with mew and Pikachu help caught a Cofagrigus. Then he came into the main chamber and spotted something "Sir that is called the dark stone it is said it contains the soul of Zekrom one of the Pokemon you have caught."

Ash went over and checked it out and he noticed it was one of the illegal capture devices and he noticed this one was empty but it was still dark they must have colored this way because they intended to capture Zekrom with it. Ash pulled it off the stand and put it inside of his bag he would send it to his dad. He walked out the same way he came in he was surprised it was bobby trapped but as he stepped out into the tunnel he heard a click and Ash ran and then he heard a boom and he looked back to see a large rock rolling his way.

He ran faster and made it out when the stone crashed against the entrance and the three entrances where blocked off. Ash continued after a few days he came across an injured Pokemon "Sir this Maractus it must have wondered into the Bouffalant territory that is said to be nearby."

Ash caught the Pokemon and then he pulled out his Pokedex and Ash noticed a forest that ran through the territory. Ash put the Pokedex away and told Mew and Pikachu to get in his bag and he went to the woods and then climbed a tree and used the skills he learned from iris to go from tree to tree. Finally he knew he had short distance to go when he ran out of trees. But below the tree he saw an injured Pokemon "Sir that is Bouffalant."

Ash threw a Poke ball and caught the Pokemon and then he jumped down and sprinted as fast he could he heard them behind him and ash picked up the pace and managed to clear out of there area. Ash fell to his knees and caught his breath and Pikachu and Mew returned to his shoulders. After regained his breath he continued on.

Ash as he entered Mistralton City near the outskirts of the city he saw a long line he wondered what that was all about. He saw the line led up to a runway and he saw a plane land and he saw someone hop out of the plane "Sir that is Skyla the gym leader of this city."

Ash just watched as she called for the morning he saw 15 people in line he thought she was crazy to take them all on. Skyla called out her 3 Pokemon and then the first challenger came up and called out his 3 Pokemon and she closed her eyes and then opened them and declared him the winner. She went through and did this with all the challengers declaring some the loser of the match. He went over to one of the e challengers "what is she doing?"

The kid looked surprised" She is conducting a sky battle she pictures the match in her head and can tell if someone would win or lose."

Ash growled he hated people who didn't take battling serious she was ready to call the next battler. Ash stopped the girl and he stepped forth "Skyla this isn't a real gym battle I don't know how the league has let this go on but I won't I challenge you to a real battle."

Skyla looked a little stunned "Alright then know this I am one of the toughest gym leaders there is."

Ash was now angry "then why did you stop battling if you were a tough battle that is what trainers want not some walk in a park."

"People came from all over to battle me and it cut into my flying time."

Ash pinched the bridge of his nose "if you love flying why not give up being a gym leader then or at least go to the league and tell them you want a minimum of badges before they can challenge you and should cut down on the number of people battling you."

She looked confused "You can set a minimum number of badges before someone challenges you."

Ash wanted to smack his head against the wall "get your head of the clouds and off of flying and maybe read the book and you would have known this and other things."

"Alright fine you win I will read the book and you will help me understand it I win I go back to flying and you take care of my gym battles tomorrow."

"Fine let's do this."

Skyla led them to the gym and the first Pokemon she went with was Swoobat and Ash went with Crobat and defeated her. She called out Swanna next and Ash thanked Crobat and then called out Pidgeot and again once again beat her people were watching the battle amazed some who have seen really battle seemed shocked she was being beaten so easily. Ash thanked Pidgeot and then she called out Unfezant and Ash called out a Pokemon he caught here in Unova Mandibuzz and he once again beat her Ash congratulated Mandibuzz and returned her.

Skyla walked across the field and Ash joined her "A deal is a deal Ash come join me back at my place so we can go over the book."

So Ash went back with her to her place and the next morning he woke naked in bed with Skyla. Ash rolled out of bed and Skyla groaned as she woke up "I wasn't expecting that when I invited you over to help me study the book."

Ash grinned "No but it was fun but I have got to get going if I want to keep on schedule."

Skyla just rolled over "Good luck out there and thank you again for setting me straight." With that Skyla went back to sleep.

As Ash was planning on resupplying and leaving town he got an email from Iris. He emailed her back and then went and found the Pokemon center and received the call from Iris. "Again Ash who was it this time."

"Skyla"

"Two gym leaders in a row" Iris whistled Ash could tell she was impressed.

Ash laughed 'But I know that look you also got lucky so who was it?"

Iris turned a bright red "Nurse Joy's daughter who was busy learning under her mother."

Ash clapped his hands and they got busy catching up and after the call he went and resupplied and headed out of town.
