Chapter 10
Been a while since I updated so I'm very sorry for that. Can people please send in their OC's because I am in serious need for them. Please if you're reading this, leave an OC in a review or PM me. Also, tell your friends about this story and ask them to send in an OC. Please.
As the trainers walked, the group got to know Gaz and vice-versa. Turns out he was a quite accomplished trainer. He reached Top 8 in Kanto which was his first league attempt. He opted to start there as he wanted to travel as much as possible, yet a region he knew a lot about. He then moved to Hoenn for another Top 8. His last league effort was a Top 4 in the Unova League.
Gaz found out the accomplishments of the rest of the group. He was impressed by Dawn and May's Grand Festival attempts. The thing that really caught his attention though was Ash's Top 4 in Sinnoh. He was astounded that he managed to take down a Darkrai with his Sceptile. Not only that, but the Pikachu on his shoulder defeated a Latios. Hearing this, the Castelia City native marked Ash as a very capable trainer.
The group finally emerged from the Forrest they were walking through and found themselves on the perimeter of a massive city. A sign to the side read:
"Welcome to La Salle City."
"We're finally here." Ash said.
"It's so beautiful." Misty remarked as she marvelled at the massive urban paradise that stood before them.
"Well,what are we waiting for?" Gary asked.
"Let's go." Brock replied.
The group followed the doctor-in-training into the stunning metropolis. They passed by several tall buildings and structures in their awe filled trek throughout the area.
"So, where should we go first?" May asked.
"I think we should go to the Pokémon Centre and get registered for the league. Not to mention getting a place to stay." Gaz suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Ash agreed.
The group continued their stroll towards the Pokémon Centre, pointing out the the most eye-catching parts of their surroundings. Dawn and May became particularly excited when they passed the shopping district. It took everyone 20 minutes to convince them to continue to the Pokémon Centre.
They eventually found it thanks to Brock's navigation skills.
"Wow Brock." Misty started. "You're getting much better at this."
"Yeah, we didn't even get lost." Ash remarked.
"Very funny." Brock responded as the group made their way past the outstanding stone fountain that sat in the plaza in front of the centre. They walked through the door and Ash approached Nurse Joy.
"Hi Nurse Joy, I'm-" he started but was pushed roughly to the side.
" Nurse Joy." Brock shouted,grabbing her hand and getting down on one knee. "Nurse Joy, you have proven that you are an expert at treating Pokémon, perhaps you can treat my aching-" He was then cut off by a poison jab to the back by Croagunk.
"Back." Brock finished before collapsing in pain.
"That's got to hurt." Gaz commented. "Although he did come on a bit strong."
"His navigation may have improved but his luck with women sure hasn't." Dawn remarked.
"Anyway." Ash continued. "I'd like to register for the Elite League please."
"Me too." Gaz added.
"Sure I'll just need your Pokédex and registry letter please." The polite nurse told them.
Both males passed over their Pokédexs' and a letter each.
"I'll just be a moment." The nurse told them. "Will you be needing a room too?"
"2 if it's possible." Gaz answered.
"It's no problem." The nurse said with a smile.
"Thanks a lot." the 2 competitors told the nurse.
"So May, do you think we'll run into anybody we met on our travels." Brock asked.
"Probably." She answered. "We did meet a lot of talented trainers."
"Did I hear talented?" Came the voice of an arrogant co-ordinator that made Ash and May cringe.
"Hey Drew." May said with a smile more like a grimace. "What are you doing here?"
"Good to see you too May." The co-ordinator said ignoring the question while flicking a lock of green hair out of his eyes. "To answer your question, I'm competing in the Elite League."
"So, you're competing too?" Gaz asked.
"Isn't that what I just said." Drew answered coldly.
"Oh I get it, you're a dick." Gaz said, his temper rising.
"And you are?" Drew asked snobbishly, irked at the insult.
"Gaz Jennings." He answered, disliking the boy already. "Me and Ash are also competing."
"I din't realise this is a tournament for second rate trainers."Drew remarked.
"Must be if your here." May shouted. "And leave my boyfriend alone." Following this sentence she grabbed Ash's hand.
Drew's cocky smirk disappeared as he saw this, but recovered quickly.
"Whatever." He said. "I'll see you around." He stopped at the sight of Dawn. "You especially."
Dawns reaction was to take steps away from Drew and shelter behind Gaz.
"Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen." Gaz said with a smirk.
"Why, is she yours?" Drew asked mockingly.
"I don't own her idiot." Gaz answered aggressively. "But we will be going out for dinner tonight."
Dawn tried to hide her shock by looking down.
"So, I think you were on your way out." Ash said, hoping to get the boy away from him.
"Whatever." Drew said and exited, clearly disgruntled despite his efforts to hide it.
After Drew left, Gaz turned to Dawn.
"So, what do you think? How about you and me go on a double date with Ash and May?"
"What?" The other couple said.
"S-Sure." Dawn responded with a blush.
"Great. Me and Ash will meet you here at 7." Gaz told her. He then got his possessions back off Nurse Joy and left the centre.
"That's how it's done Brock." Gary told the love-struck doctor who hung his head in shame.
Thanks for reading, and remember send in your OC's.
