Ok. Here is the Next Chapter, the Second Training Month, some reviews I have gotten.
Aqua Rules – Thank you for your review, glad you like the ending hope you enjoy this one as well.
Guest/Kankana - Firstly I did say that I would only be putting out two chapters a month, I'm sorry if you don't like it this way but it's the best I can do right now, Secondly the reason behind my name can be taken in two different ways, the first being that I love Dragon and Electric type pokemon, Main reason being the Awesome Zekrom my favorite Legendary Pokemon and the second reason is that I read a lot of fantasy books and Dragons and Lightning Magic are in the best one I read and them together are the reasoning behind my name, it could also mean that I want My stories to be as amazing as dragons and as great as watching Lightning flash, but that's just me. BTW, DracoLightning would be a really funny name to have as a kid.
Guest – thanks for the review and no this story will not be abandoned, it just will take time to be updated so please be patient.
MissGeek – Firstly thanks for the lovely review, secondly great to have another Pokeshipper about and thirdly I never knew that was the reason Misty left I always thought that they only planned to have Misty journey with Ash a bit and then decided that they couldn't do much more with her so they got a new girl in to help fill the void, like how they had brock leave for Orange Islands and come back in Johto, I had hoped that was what was going to happen for the Battle Frontier when she showed up there and even more so when at the start of Hoenn that brought Brock in fairly quickly and when I saw that Misty was coming to Hoen I hoped that she was going to stay but then they tricked us and got rid of her after two episodes, so thanks for that info on her.

Chapter 11
Month Two/Day Three
After that night with Misty sneaking in to his room and seeing the pictures and saying her words, Misty and Ash have started to become closer, this started with Ash taking a more direct approach to how he trained the girls, like with him helping the girls stretch before their training begins, as the girls usually did that themselves, but now Ash was the one helping Misty, also when it come to the point that the girls wanted to learn how to fight, Ash was giving Misty a more hands on approach then May and Dawn as Misty said that she wanted to be able to protect herself in the future.
It was now the morning after Ash and the girls had a tough training session, the girls were sore all over, but Misty wouldn't let it show, Ash had told the girls after the session that the next day he was taking May out to get her Ponyta and that he will be starting his Special training with Misty, Misty asked what type of training it was but all Ash would say was that it would be working on her weakness. Misty was now sitting on her bed with Marill beside her, she was thinking about the training, Ash had planned for her and what he meant by, "Working on her weakness", but that was put to the back of her mind when an explosion was heard outside. The three girls rushed outside to see an injured Ash lying on the ground looking at the sky and laughing, while opposite him was an equally as injured Lucario, Lucario was kneeling on the ground panting, he got up after he saw the girls, before he could speak Misty was next to Ash and was hitting him with her mallet, she was shouting at him as well.
"What, the hell is wrong with you, can you not keep yourself out of trouble and being injured for at least one day."
"Hey, Come on Mist, you know me, and anyway we were only lightly practicing, we aren't that hurt" said Ash as he grabbed the mallet out of her hands, surprising her as well as the girls.
Ash got up after this and told May to get ready and for Lucario to ready his team, May and Dawn went back in to the house, Lucario left to get the Pokémon ready for training and Ash had to snap Misty out of the shock that he took her Mallet away. He shook her lightly then whispered in her ear.
"Hey, is that a Caterpie" when he did that, Misty jumped backwards in to him, which caused her to land on top of him, Ash sitting on the ground with her on his lap and arms wrapped around his neck.
"Wow, I didn't expect that to be your reaction" said Ash again causing Misty to blush at their position and she could see that May and Dawn were watching through a window, Misty unwrapped her hands then she punched him on the shoulder for scaring her, with that she got up and went back inside to reprimanded the other two girls, Ash just chuckled and said to himself that the training later was going to be tough if that was her reaction, from him just saying "Caterpie", but he focused on what was happening now, got up and walked in to the house to change his clothes, but before he walked into the house he removed his shirt and then walked into the house, past the three girls causing each of them to stop what they were doing and look in his direction, May whistled, Misty hit May while she was blushing and Dawn she just stared at him as he walked past, he chuckled at her which broke her stare and went upstairs after telling May to be done eating when he returned. Ash return a few minutes later he had changed from his black workout clothes to a pair of old jeans, a red t-shirt and a black zipped down hoodie, He asked May if she was ready and when she nodded he took her hand and teleported away.
Stark Mountain/Sinnoh region
The two of them reappeared, not at the safari zone like May was expecting, but on the Volcanic area of Stark Mountain, she asked him why they were here and he replied that a while ago he heard from a friend that Ponyta and Rapidash had been spotted in the area and he wanted to check it out, also there was a pokemon that he knew was living here and he wanted to catch it and that she just give him the reason to do it now. They started to walk over to the area that the horse pokemon were said to be seen, May had once again brought her Wartortle with her to help catch the Ponyta and Ash didn't bring one as he said that he wouldn't need one, May thought that it was rather cryptic but knew not to ask anything as he wasn't going to say anymore, Ash and May were now standing at the part where Ash's friend said the Ponyta were, it was only a minute later that Ash was able to spot a few Rapidash and some Ponyta climbing the mountain, he pointed this out to May and they followed them over to a small grassy area that was next to the mountain, May released her Wartortle and chose the Ponyta she wanted to capture, the one she chose was a bit smaller than the other ones, May called out for her pokemon to single out the Ponyta, so Wartortle used Hydro pump to scare off the rest of the herd, but made share to push the Ponyta in to a corner, Ash and May came down once Wartortle had done that, May started to talk to the Female Ponyta, Ash told her the gender after she had picked it out.
"Don't be afraid I was hoping that you would like to join my team", May said this to the Young fire horse pokemon, Ponyta was still afraid but it had calmed down a bit from May's words, it still watched her and Wartortle closely.
May walked forward and Ponyta backed up a bit until it couldn't anymore, once May had gotten close enough she reached out and patted Ponyta on the snout, it caused Ponyta to lash out and it caused May to jump back as Ponyta had kicked out her hooves, Ash told her to not try that again as she could get kicked by her and that it, she should try again but only after she had caught it, as it would be easier then, May backed up a bit and spoke again.
"Please calm down a bit Ponyta, I don't want to hurt you as I would love to have you on my team", Ponyta looked at her for a bit, it also looked at Ash and saw that he was nodding to what May was Saying, Ponyta decided to give May at chance and got ready to battle.
"May, it looks like Ponyta here, is challenging you to a battle, and I bet if you win it will let you catch it, so remember your training and go for it", Ash spoke as he moved to the side a bit to let May and Wartortle battle the Ponyta, May and Wartortle moved into position, May started first.
"Wartortle use Ice beam to stop Ponyta from moving then use Water gun", Wartortle shot out a beam of frozen energy ay Ponyta's feet, but it broke free using Stomp, it then used Horn drill an egg move it had because of there being a lot of Ryhorn and Rhydon in the area, Wartortle was knocked back as it was using water gun, Ponyta also backed up to avoid the water, even though Horn drill was usually a one-hit move, Ponyta was not very experienced using it so it only did light damage and only barely touched Wartortle, also Wartortle was stronger than Ponyta, so that helped, May called out her next move.
"Wartortle, use Rapid Hydro pump", when she called it out, Wartortle withdrew in to his shell and started to use Hydro pump, he started to fly at Ponyta, Ponyta tried to use flame wheel, but was knocked out from the force of the water, once she was knocked out, Wartortle stopped his attack and May walked over to the downed pokemon and used a hyper potion on her, Ponyta woke up after that and looked at May as she began to talk.
"I hope that showed you, what kind of person I am and I hope you will still join me", when she was done she stood up, Ponyta stood up as will, she looked at Wartortle then at May and finally Ash, who was nodding at May's words, she turned and faced May again, she nodded her head and May tapped the pokeball she was holding to her head, the ball shook once then dinged, showing that she had captured Ponyta.
"Yes, I caught a Ponyta, now there is only one pokemon left I need to catch", May shouted, she turned to see Ash walking towards the entrance to Stark Mountain, as when May was battling he had seen the pokemon he was looking for staring at him, the pokemon moved back inside the mountain and waited for Ash to come in.
"Can, you please wait out here, while I go inside for a few Minutes, May nodded to him, he went inside and May released her new Pokemon Ponyta, she then scanned it with her pokedex.
Ponyta, the Fire horse Pokemon, Ponyta is very weak at birth. It can barely stand up. This Pokémon becomes stronger by stumbling and falling to keep up with its parent. This Ponyta is Female and Level 20, Its Ability is Flash Fire and knows the moves, Ember, Flame wheel, Tackle and Stomp, it also has the Egg Move Horn Drill, which it has unlocked.
May was happy to see that this Ponyta was level 20 as it needed to be 40 for it to evolve and it would take the rest of the training to make that happen, Ash was in the mountain for only about 10 Minutes and when he came out he was holding a Luxury Ball in his hands, she would of asked if she didn't already know the answer, so she just asked if he was all done, he said he was and now it was time to get back as it was 1pm and they had left at 10am, so they were both pretty hungry and May wanted her new pokemon to get to know the other pokemon before it begins its training, with that said Ash took a hold of May's hand and they teleported back to the Island.
Ash's Island/New Island
Ash and May reappeared on the island and saw that Lucario, Misty and Dawn were still training, Lucario had all the pokemon battling each other like the last time and Misty was doing some Push-ups, while Dawn was stretching, once the three saw them they stopped what they were doing as Ash had called out for them to have a lunch break, the girls headed to the house after May had released her Wartortle and Ponyta to get her use to the big group of pokemon, Ash called Lucario over and whispered to him.
"Lucario, can you please put this one with the "others", they already know that he will be coming, and ask them if they need anything", with that he handed Lucario the Luxury ball he was holding and went in to the house, when he was inside he spoke to the girls.
"Right, now that May has her Ponyta, I can start the training with you Misty, so once lunch is over can you please follow me", he said this as the three girls had started to plate up today's Lunch, a cheese omelet, with a parsley garnish, and made with the light, Moo-moo milk cheese. The four of them talked about different things, like what other Gym leaders would enter the tournament, how many people using each type of pokemon would enter and what might Iris and Cilan doing now as Ash told them that Iris and Cilan left to train in secret, after they were done eating, they cleaned up the dishes and went outside again to start training, Lucario got the pokemon ready as Ash wanted to talk to them.
"Right, I want all the Fire types, so Typhlosion, Blaziken, Infernape, Emboar, May's Vulpix, Growlithe, Ponyta, Blaziken, and lastly Dawn's Typhlosion, I want you to all practise your fire moves, with Growlithe and Ponyta using their moves against each other as they both Flash Fire", with that said the pokemon he called left and he turned to speak again.
"Right, now I want all the water types, so, Gyarados, Blastoise, Vaporeon, Feraligator, Empoleon, Misty's Gyarados, Seadra, Marill, Politoad, Corsola, May's Wartortle, and lastly Dawn's Piplup, I want you to head to the beach and improve your water moves and speed in the water", as before, the pokemon he had called moved away and headed to the beach. He started to speak again
"Right, now I want My Venusaur and May's to head over to were Sceptile and Torterra are, I want mine to try and catch Sceptile and for him to dodge, and I want May's to lift Torterra off the ground, I know this is possible as mine is able to do it, Next I want the three Eevee's, Dawn's Glameow and Buneary to each train with the kids again, so head over there, I want Togetic, Dawn's Togekiss to train with each other and lastly I want Lucario and Dawn's Ambipom to battle , to improve Ambipom's speed", once he was finished the pokemon left to each of their assigned places, once they all left Ash turned to the girls and spoke.
"May and Dawn, I want you to continue with your training and Misty, you will be following me", he said this and May and Dawn left to start their run around the island and Misty started to follow Ash over to the west of the Island, as they moved through the trees that were on this side, Ash had started to slow down his walking, once he was where he wanted to be he stopped, He then turned to Misty and told her that they would be training here for the rest of the day. When Misty asked again what the training was, he once again said "Working on your weakness", but this time, Misty wasn't settling for just that, so she whipped out her mallet and spoke again to him.
"Ash, just tell me already what the training is or I will pound you into the ground", she said this as she slowly approached him.
"Ok, OK", no need to get your mallet out, said Ash, Misty returned her mallet and looked back at Ash
"Just have a look around and you will know your training", said Ash
Misty began to look around her, she saw pine and oak trees, she saw different kinds of pokemon, like Pidgey and Tailow flying about, and Magicarp and Goldeen swimming in a stream, but it was when she heard a buzzing noise that she got a bit worrried, the next thing she knew, she saw some Beedrill fly over her head, when this happened she jumped on Ash and buried her head in his chest.
Once the Beedrill where gone, she let go of Ash and looked away from him, she was going to hit him for bringing her to a place with Disgusting Bug pokemon, when she realized it, what her Special training was going to be, she looked at him and started to talk.
"So, you brought me over to this part of the island so that I would be near Bug pokemon", she started off quietly before starting to yell at him, Ash just looked at her and then nodded and walked over to her.
"Misty, the reason I am doing this is because, first there is a chance you will be facing a trainer who has chosen Bug pokemon to be their type in the tournament, and the Second reason is that I believe that you can overcome this fear, like you did your fear with Gyarados, so just trust me on this", Ash said to her as he held her shoulders.
Misty just looked at him, she could she how much he was trying to help her, she sighed and then told him, that he was right, for once and that there was a chance, she could have to battle a trainer with Bug types, as she had to do in the past as gym leader, and that her fear had caused her to lose sometimes, so if he was going to help her, now was a good time as any to start.
Ash smiled and said that this will be hard to start but in the long run it will get better, he told her that they will start off easy and work their ways up, so firstly all she had to do was to stand under the oak tree, which he had marked and they would begin. She moved over to the marked tree and after a few minutes of slow breathing, she told Ash she was ready to begin. He nodded his head and let out a long low whistle.
"What was that for Ash" Misty asked when he was done a bit nervously
"I'm just calling over, your training partners for today" replied Ash.
A few minutes after he had said this two pokemon came into view, the first one was a pokemon Misty knew very well, it was a purple butterfly like pokemon, it has two black antennae, a light blue snout with two fangs underneath, and large, red compound eyes, it slowly fluttered before landing on Ash's head, Misty smiled seeing them together again, after so long. The next one was a pokemon she was unfamiliar with, it was a thin, yellow, bipedal insectoid Pokémon. It had a broad, split leaf around its large, round head and it has long antennae that end in semicircles, it was only if Misty had to guess about 4ft tall, it stood next to Ash, who was now patting it on the head. She started to think about what Ash was going to do with these pokemon, many things came to her mind, but her train of thought was broken when Ash began to speak.
"Right, Misty these are the first two of My pokemon that will be helping us during your training, the first you know quite well", he then pointed to his head and his Pokemon waved a bit at her.
"Since you know Butterfree well, he should be an easy one to get along with, right", Misty said that it was ok, but who was the one next to him, pointing to it.
"Ah, that would be your second training partner, allow me to introduce the Unovan Pokemon Leavanny, she is quite gentle, so no need for there to be afraid", with that said Leavanny bowed to Misty, it was a kind gesture, and it helped to ease Misty's nerves a bit, Ash began to speak again.
"So, are you ready to begin the training Misty", She nodded and then asked what this training was going to be.
"The first part of this training will be you sitting under that tree, with Butterfree, starting to sit on the branch above you and Leavanny here, sitting over there and making some leave clothes for the Caterpie, around here" Ash said this and Butterfree gently flapped his wings and moved slowly over to his position and Leavanny walked over to the point Ash had pointed to and started to gather leaves off the tree, to begin making clothes. Misty was a bit scared the closer Butterfree, got but then she started to calm down when she remembered that all of this was to help her and she needed to do this so that she could get on with life and hopefully be with Ash, so she closed her eyes and started to control her breathing, after a few seconds, she calmed herself and opened her eyes again, she looked up and saw that Butterfree was sitting on the branch, about 1m above her and a bit to the right, Butterfree was slowly eating an oran berry that Ash had thrown up to him. She then looked to her left and over to where Ash and Leavanny were, Ash was holding some leaves as, Leavanny was using her string shot to carefully sow the leaves together, she called out to him.
"So, is this all that is going to happen, Butterfree sitting on the branch above me and you over there with Leavanny making clothes from leaves", Ash, nodded and spoke.
"This is just for the start, what I plan to happen is that before the tournament starts, you are able to calmly sit were you are standing holding a Caterpie in your hands, while Metapod rests next to you, Butterfree is sitting on your head and Leavanny here is making clothes with your help, like I am doing now. But before that this will be the beginning and hopefully in a week or two you can have Butterfree calmly sitting on your head and you can have Leavanny next to you.", Now Misty was worried she wouldn't be able to do that, especially the part about holding a Caterpie, but she trusted Ash and believed with his help, she could do it.
The two of them stayed there until Ash's Pokegear beeped, showing it was now 5pm, Ash thanked his two pokemon and told them to be here again tomorrow around the same time to continue the training, Ash asked how Misty had felt after their first training session, she replied that it was Ok, and that she knew that this was only the beginning and it will be getting harder, Ash smiled and said that was great.
The two of them arrived back at the house and met with Lucario meditating outside, while Misty went inside to help May and Dawn with the dinner, Ash talked to Lucario about how training went with the others. Lucario said that May and Dawn's speed had improved and that they were now starting to get more use to it. Ash then asked about the pokemon and Lucario told him that with the Fire types, both May's Blaziken and Dawn's Typhlosion had improved on their control over their heat production and May's Vulpix, Ponyta and Growlithe, had all improved their power levels.
He told him that with the Water types, Misty's Gyarados had improved his electric resistance, Misty's Marill, Politoad and Corsola had increased their attack speed and that Gyarados, Blastoise, Vaporeon, Misty's Seadra and May's Wartortle, had increased their speed in the water.
He told him that with the Grass types, May's Venasaur was able to get Torterra, 0.4m off that ground and Your Venasaur was able to catch Sceptitle eight times, and with the other's Dawn's Ambipom, has increased his speed to mostly keep up with my attack's and with the kids they have increased their attacks and defense, so they should be able to start more intense training later. Ash thanked Lucario for the update and told him that for tomorrow to get the weight sets ready, so that he could start the next stage of the training. After that he went inside and ate the dinner the girls made and told them to rest for the rest of the day as he was going to be training with Pikachu and Lucario. He quickly ate the food and left after waking up Pikachu, who had been sleeping since he had a tough training session yesterday, the girls spent the rest of the day talking about what they did, like May and Dawn asking what the training Ash had planned for her and what happened, and what was going to happened in the future now. The girls went to sleep at around 10pm as May and Dawn were tired and Misty was worn out from her training today.
Month Two/Day Nine
After the first training session with Ash and his Butterfree and Leavanny, Misty had improved on her fear and was now able to have Butterfree sit next to her and was able to pet him, while Leavanny and Ash make Leaf clothes, some things had happened during the third session which could count as improving their relationship, as a group of Beedrill had appeared while Ash had been meditating, which in turn caused Misty to jump up from her seated position and cling to him, Ash was shocked at first as he hadn't been paying much attention to his surroundings, but once he noticed that a group of Beedrill had passed by and that is what had scared Misty, he would have laughed but he saw that Misty had some tears in her eyes and he just waited a bit before he started to gently rub her back to calm her down before he called time to head back to the house for the day, after that he made sure to always keep close attention to their surroundings just in case it was to happen again, and Misty had started to sit closer to him, Misty's feelings on that day were fear from the Beedrill, to a feeling of relief being in Ash's arms and his gentle rubbing help calm her quickly, Ash's feelings were a mix between comfort from having Misty in his arms and worry if this was Ok for him to do, but once he saw for her Aura that she had calmed down he realized he made the correct choice.
Misty, May and Dawn were all sitting around the Breakfast table when they, heard Ash come down the stairs, followed by a yawning Pikachu, the girls said good morning to him and asked what were they going to be doing today, Ash told them that Lucario was going to be training their pokemon to help increase to resistance again, they were heading to the beach to practice and it was going to be another tough training session, he told Misty that today she had to go alone this time as he had gotten a message from a friend, that told him he had spotted some Cleffa and Clefairy around the top of , so he was going to take Dawn to see if she can catch one for here team, so she would have all her pokemon for the tournament, as she only need that one and May only needed to get her last one, Dawn was happy that she was getting her last pokemon and May asked what she could do today, Ash said that she could either train her Growlithe and Vulpix, as to get them ready to evolve or to help train her pokemon at the beach, it was up to her to decide. After that he told Dawn to be ready in half an hour while he took care of somethings, when he said that he went upstairs after grabbing his toast that he had made to get changed, he came down a few minutes later, fully dressed and grabbed a bottle of ketchup from the cupboard and passed it to Pikachu, telling him he had earned it and to take the day off while he was away, he then went outside.
The girls cleaned up and got ready for the day with May deciding to train her Growlithe and Vulpix, Dawn getting ready to catch her new pokemon and Misty preparing herself for her training with Butterfree and Leavanny, Dawn came down ten minutes later to see Pikachu sitting happily on the couch, with now only half a full ketchup bottle in front of him, Misty was the next one down and she had togetic in her arms as she hadn't spent much time with him as she had been in training, so she decided that he was going with her for moral support, Togetic was just happy to be around Misty again, and last one down was May, she was thinking about what she was going to do with her pokemon, when Ash came back inside the house, when he saw that the three girls were dressed, he asked if Dawn was ready to go, she said she was and that Togekiss was coming with her just in case, he nodded to this and them he told May that if she was going down to the beach that Lucario had asked for Manaphy to be there to help with the training, she thanked him for letting her know so that she could go down later, Ash turned to Misty and told her, she should be Ok, without him there and at least she has Togetic with her for support. Togetic waved his hand at Ash and spoke his name, Ash then turned to Dawn and asked her to hold his hand to they could go, dawn did this and the disappered in a white flash.
/Kanto Region
Ash and Dawn appeared at the entrance to , Ash handed Dawn a torch, so that she could see in the dark cave, he headed in first and Dawn followed after she turned on her torch, she met up with Ash just past a couple of boulders, in the dark cave, they began to walk to were the massive was on the top of the mountain. They met many types of pokemon in the cave like sandshrew, geodude and zubat, but no Cleffa or Clefairy, Ash told her that they were more likely staying near the meteorite as they usually stay around it as is getting close to the time of year that the clefairy evolve in to clefable, so they will find them up there, Dawn agreed as she had heard the stories from Misty and May about the adventure's they had here with him here and about the giant moon stone on top of this mountain. They got to the first set of stone stairs that lead to the top, when a group of Zubat flew at them, scaring Dawn and making her scream, Ash Laughed at this for a bit until he saw something roll down the stairs after the Zubats had left, he went over to see what it was while Dawn calmed herself down after checking her hair, and plotting to get back at him, when ash saw what it was he call Dawn over, when she got there she saw that it was an injured Cleffa that had fallen down the stairs, Ash checked to see if it was awake and when he saw that it reacted to his touch, he quickly pulled out a hyper potion and told Dawn to hold her as it was a female Cleffa. Dawn held the pokemon in her arms ad Ash applied the potion to the more bruised parts of the pokemon, both heard the Cleffa wince when the potion was applied, when the treatment was down the young Cleffa opened her eyes and looked up at Dawn, and then she looked at Ash and Cleffa called out her name, Ash understood what she meant and told Dawn that the Cleffa said the word "Home", Dawn understood and said to Cleffa that she would get her home.
Ash's Island/New Island
Back on the island, May was down on the beach training with her Growlithe and Vulpix, she was getting them to use Ember at each other while Manaphy who was helping her train was using a light Bubblebeam on both of them, this was to help both pokemon to make their moves stronger and also to help gain more resistance to water moves, for the upcoming tournament. After Vulpix was hit on the side with Manaphy's Bubblebeam, she glowed white before a ball of energy formed in her mouth before being fired at Growlithe, who dodged the attack before jumping at Vulpix, as he did his tail started to glow before stopping just before he was about to hit her causing him to only make her move back, but not to injure her but only slightly dazed her, once this happened May stopped the battle between the two and congratulated them for learning two new moves, Vulpix for learning Secret Power and Growlithe for starting to learn Iron Tail.
On another part of the island, Misty was sitting under the same tree as part of her training, Butterfree was asleep next to her and she and Togetic were helping Leavanny make clothes for the Caterpie, Misty was thinking about all the things that had happened in the past month, from Ash revealing himself to the world once more and being the Kanto champion, Ash telling her and the rest, that he knew the truth of the whole Betrayal, and taking them to his island to help them get ready for the upcoming tournament, Him still having feelings for her, but only if she wanted it and the way he was helping her overcome her fear of Bug types and how he had held her before, her face heated up when she thought of that moment, she calmed herself down and went back to helping Leavanny and started to think of a way to make Ash notice her more, like he did in the past.
/Kanto Region
Ash and Dawn had reached the top of mountain and were about to enter the room with the Meteorite, the Cleffa that Dawn was holding had grown attached to her and Dawn had nicknamed the Cleffa "Happy" as she was waving her hands about as Dawn was walking with her, Ash entered the room first and saw that there no Cleffa, Clefairy or Clefable insight, Ash then sent out a burst of Aura and was able to detect 4 Cleffa, 10 Clefairy and 6 Clefable, that were hiding, but when they felt the Aura, they realized that they were not in any danger, so they came out of hiding, Dawn walked into the room when she felt the burst of Aura, the Cleffa in her arms saw her mother and pointed to her, when Dawn saw this, she set the Cleffa down and she ran over to her mother. Ash walked over to some of the Clefairy and Clefable and let his Aura out once more, when this happened the Clefairy closest to him spoke, to which he pointed to Dawn and said that she was here and wanted to have one of them join her or if there was an egg she could raise. The Clefairy and Clefable looked at each other and started to speak, while this was going on the young Cleffa heard them and came over with her mother, a Clefable and spoke with them, the young Cleffa said that she would like to go with her, the other's agreed to this as they could tell a bond had formed between them, but only after the ritual tonight, the Cleffa nodded and Ash walked over to Dawn to tell her what was going on, She was happy that the Cleffa was coming with her and asked how long was it until the ritual started, Ash looked at his Pokegear and saw that it was 5pm, so the ritual was going to start at 7pm and would last about ten minutes, he told her that he was going to look for something he had heard could be found in this area and that he would be back before the ritual started and that she could stay in this room if she wanted or could walk through the tunnel on the other side and be able to see Cerulean City, which should be turning on their city lights, she said that she was going to stay in the room as she wanted to interact with the Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable as they were rare pokemon that were hardly seen, so she wanted to learn all she could as she has the chance and this would help her with her training for Cleffa and she wanted to see what moves would best suit her style, she pulled out here pokedex and began to scan each of the Pokemon to see what moves they each had.
Ash returns back to the room with the Meteorite at 6:30pm, when he got back he saw Dawn sitting next to the entrance with Cleffa on her lap reading her pokedex with the information she had got from the Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable, he asked her what info that she had got, and what she was going to use, she told him that she had found some moves she was going to get her pokemon to learn and she had found out that the Cleffa on her lap is level 10 and knows the moves Pound, Charm, Sweet Kiss and Sing, and that it has the Egg moves Zen Headbutt, Iron Tail and Shock wave, so those moves will really help in the tournament, he said that was excellent to hear and he can help out as he has pokemon that know those moves.
The stayed there talking until the Cleffa, Clefairy and Clefable started to gather around the Meteorite. Cleffa jumped off of Dawn and Gathered with the rest, a few moments later and the moon was over the hole in the roof and started to shine on the Meteorite, when this began the Pokemon started to dance around it and made different signals as they did this, after a few minutes two of the Cleffa began to evolve and then a bit later four of the Clefairy evolved into Clefable, Ash could tell when they were going to evolve as he could sense the energy in them expanding as so they could evolve, once the ritual was finished there were now two Cleffa, eight Clefairy and ten Clefable, they ones that had evolved were congratulated by the others, then the little Cleffa was hugged by her mother and walked over to Dawn, who knelt down and when the Cleffa nodded, she tapped her on her head and caught her, she was released again and Dawn picked her up, Ash and Dawn thanked the Pokemon for their time and left out the way to Cerulean city, once they were out of the tunnel, Ash asked Dawn for her hand, she gave it to him and they teleported back to the island.
Ash's Island/New Island
Ash and Dawn arrived back on the island in front of his house, when they walked inside they found May and Misty making dinner, the four of them ate it together, when they were done Dawn released the pokemon she had on her, Togekiss and her new Cleffa, so that they could join the others and to help Cleffa get used to the others and then the girls went in to the lounge to watch Tv, while Ash said that he was going over to check on some of his pokemon, the girls said that was fine and started to watch a movie.
Ash called for Lucario to come with him, so that he could ask him how the girls and the other pokemon did while he was away today, Lucario told him that today that Misty's Gyarados was now able to withstand half the power of his Gyarados's thunderbolt.
May's Blaziken, Vulpix, Ponyta, Growlithe and Dawn's Typhlosion were able to stay in the water much longer and Blaziken and Typhlosion were able to actually sit in the water.
Misty's Seadra and Eevee Aqua, had increased their speed, while Seadra could almost keep up with Vaporeon, Lucario and Ash were impressed that he was able to improve his speed so quickly, Ash commented that it was mostly due to Misty having Horsea swim around the pool with her when she was back in Cerulean City.
And Lastly, he told him that May's Venasaur had improved his resistance to Infernape's Flamethrower as this was his third most powerful move after Blast Burn and Flare Blitz, He also has improved his control over Frenzy Plant, with him being able to make three vines come out.
Lucario then explain that today Misty had improved in her training and May had help train with her pokemon, and was the one who was able to get her Blaziken and Dawn's Typhlosion to sit in the water.
Ash was glad to hear about all these improvements, and was glad to see that Misty had completed her day's training, there conversation stopped once they got to the spot they were heading to with the "Special" pokemon he had obtained, he met with Mesprit, Azlef and Uxie who were all playing in the lake along with Manaphy, Victini and Meloetta, the other's that were there were his Darkari who was sparring with his Friend who helps him Teleport around, it was a close fight, the pokemon he had caught in the cave on Stark Mountain was currently having a three-way battle with a pokemon he had caught in Johto and another one he had found in Mt. Silver during his journey, another one of his pokemon was one he had caught during his travel between the Kanto and Johto line was also in a three-way battle with a pokemon he had found when it was roaming Sinnoh and an old friend from his past travels, who at the point of seeing Ash, stopped their battle and run up and hugged him, the pokemon was buried in his chest while Ash rub its head, he called for all the pokemon to stop their battles and playing as he wanted to check how their training was going, he found out that Mesprit, Azlef and Uxie had increased their level by 4 and had learned some new moves, Mesprit had learned Blizzard as she had been spending time with another one of the pokemon here, Azelf had learned Thunder as he had spent time another of the pokemon and Uxie has learned Psyshock as she had spent time learning for the pokemon, Ash uses to teleport around.
Manaphy has gained 6 levels and has learned Water pulse and Scald, Ash was happy to see that he had improved greatly.
Victini has gained 10 levels and has learned Flame Burst, Zen Headbutt and Overheat, Ash was very happy to find that he had learned Overheat a move he has been practicing for the past 4 months.
Meloetta has gained 6 levels and learned Psychic and Shadow Ball, Ash was happy to see that she had improved and that she had learned Shadow Ball a move she had been practicing with Umbreon and Darkari.
Darkari had only gained two levels as he was already powerful before joining Ash and he has helped Ash and the other pokemon with resistance to sleep moves
The Pokemon who was helping him teleport around had only gained 1 level as he was pretty powerful before he joined Ash and has greatly improved using all his moves.
The Pokemon from Stark Mountain had only recently joined so he hadn't improved much but has helped Ash's Charizard gain more control and understanding for some of his moves.
The one he caught in Johto had increased its level by 5 and had learned two new moves and was practicing with Typhlosion sometimes as they had grown to acknowledge each other as powerful battle buddies bound by fire.
The one he caught in had increased its level by 8 and had learned three new moves and was constantly practicing with Charizard as he was the one to defeat him and wanted to improve himself.
The one he had caught between Kanto and Johto had increased its level by 12 levels showing the most improvement from all the others and had learned two new moves and has been practicing with Blastoise as to improve its water moves and because he was the one to defeat her.
The one he caught while he was training in the Sinnoh region, had increased its level by 2 levels and had learned one new move, he has been training with both Venasaur and Empoleon as Venasaur was the one to defeat him and Empoleon was a fellow ice user.
The last one is the old friend, this certain pokemon came to the island looking for Ash and when she found him, she happily let herself be caught as to stay with him, she had increased her level by 10 levels and had learned 3 new moves and spent most of her time before the girls came here either training with Pikachu or with the kids of the kindergarten, but was now staying around here as to not startle to the girls.
He was glad that all the pokemon had greatly improved and were doing well, he left telling them that he will be back some time in the future to check up on them and went back to the house, when he got there it was already 11pm, the girls were in bed and he could see that his Vaporeon and Umbreon were sleeping on the couch and Pikachu was sleeping on the armchair along with Marill, he went to the closest and pulled out two blankets one green and one blue, the green one was placed over his Eeveelutions and the blue one on top of his Pikachu and Marill, afterword's he went upstairs and went to sleep.
Month Two/Day Fifthteen
It had been a week since Ash had gone with Dawn to and gotten her, her Cleffa, and since then Dawn and Cleffa had grown closer together and Ash could tell from the energy forming in Cleffa that she was going to evolve soon, he had told this to Dawn and she was happy to hear that she and Cleffa had grown so close together as she knew that for her to evolve you had to increase your friendship with the Pokémon, Today was also the day that Ash had told Misty her training was going to go to the next level and that she had done amazing for the first part, but now she was going to have to get ready as her training from now on will only get harder, Misty blushed when he told her that she had done amazing and made a promise to herself to continue like this as this was bringing her closer to her goal of helping both her and Ash get over the past and move forwards.
When Ash had woken up this morning, he could smell the food that was cooking in the kitchen and could see that Pikachu was drooling in his sleep, he looked at his clock and saw that it was 7:30am, he had slept in a little as yesterday he and Pikachu were training with the "Special" Pokémon and Lucario as the girls were training down on the beach, he got up and got dressed then he woke up Pikachu and the both of them went downstairs and met Misty, Dawn and May sitting around the table eating breakfast, Ash greeted them and said that today was a Specialized training day, so expect a tough day ahead of them, the girls said that this was Ok, and they left to go upstairs as Ash got his breakfast, while this happened Lucario walked in to the house to get his and the other Pokémon's breakfast ready, they talked about how the girls and their Pokémon have improved over the last month and a half, Lucario finished getting the food ready when the three girls came back down stairs, Misty was dressed ready for her training in a Green T-Shirt, Red shorts and Black sneakers, May was dressed for the tough training in a blue T-Shirt, Brown shorts and Black sneakers and lastly Dawn was dressed in a Pink T-Shirt, Blue shorts and Black sneakers, the girls said that they would be outside stretching, while they wait for Ash to get ready, once they left to go outside, Ash finished his breakfast and went upstairs to get ready, he came back down wearing a Black T-shirt, White shorts and Blue Sneakers, he told Misty to head over to the training spot while he started May and Dawn's training and got the pokemon that will be joining them ready, Misty nodded to this and with Togetic in her hands she started to walk over to the spot where they did her training. Ash turned back to May and Dawn and told them to call their pokemon over, once their Pokemon had arrived he told them to follow him.
Ash lead the two girls and their pokemon to the large grassland plain were his Flying and Grass types lived with other pokemon that needed enough room to keep fit, he told the girls that their training was them sparring with each other before they would do three laps around the grasslands, and then a ten-minute break before they would start to learn actual fighting moves from Lucario as they said that they wanted to protect themselves in the future, while this training for the two girls was going on their pokemon would be doing theirs.
May's Blaziken would be fighting Ash's Blaziken, this was so that he could get May's to learn the basics of the move Crush claw as May wanted hers to learn it and so that May's could also improve the power of her fire moves.
May's Wartortle would battle against Ash's Floatzel, to improve his speed and so that May's Wartortle could start to learn Iron Tail.
May's Venusaur was continuing her training with Ash's to learn Frenzy Plant as well as improve her control over her other moves and Ash wanted his to teach May's the Basics of the moves Solarbeam and Giga Drain, May also asked Ash if any of his pokemon knew the move Grass Pledge as she wanted her Venusaur to learn it as she had seen a Bayleef using it in a contest before and she wanted it as it could improve her contest performances, He told her his Serperior knew the move and that he would start the training for that move later as it need more control over the energy in one's body.
May's Glaceon was going to be training with Ash's Shiny Umbreon and Vaporeon, Umbreon to improve the power and speed of her Shadow ball and Dig attacks and Vaporeon was there to help improve her Ice beam and Iron Tail attacks.
May's Vulpix and Growlithe were battling together against Ash's Shiny Ninetails, the reason was because of her Ability, which was Drought, this was to make the two young pokemon get better at using their moves and to help increase their power, the girls asked how they never felt Ninetails Ability even though they had been on the Island for over a month, Ash told them that he had spent time with her so that she could have more control over her ability and now she had better control over it so she could turn it on or off when needed and also control the power so that it only effect a certain place meaning that in a battle she could limit it to only her side of the battlefield, May and Dawn were impressed that Ash was able to train his Ninetails to do such an amazing thing, Ash thanked them for their praise and scratched the back of his head before continuing to explain the training.
May's Ponyta was going to be doing endurance training by doing laps around the grasslands with Ash's Shiny Rapidash and when Lucario had decided that it was enough move on to having them battle to improve her Fire moves and to also help it master the new moves it had learned from leveling up Flame Charge and Fire spin as well as to get it ready for when Ash decided that it was ready to learn two moves that his knew which were Wild charge and Iron tail, he also want May's to improve her Ember attack so that it would grow into a Flamethrower attack.
Dawn's Togekiss was going to be training with Ash's Pidgeot and Staraptor as both knew the moves Steel wing and Heat wave, which were the two moves that Ash was training Dawn's Togekiss learn before he was going to have her improve her Aura Sphere the reason Ash was doing it this way was because both moves required the user to control the flow of energy in their body to use, Steel wing by having the user coat their wings in energy before turning the energy as hard as steel and Heat wave was turning the energy in one's body into fire and sending it out in a wave, when Togekiss had done this, Ash can then have Lucario show Togekiss how to control the flow of her Aura or life energy to improve the speed and power of her Aura sphere.
Dawn's Piplup was going to be training Swellow to learn the move Aerial ace and like May, Dawn had asked Ash if he had any pokemon that knew the move Water Pledge, as she wanted Piplup to learn the move to go along with May's Grass pledge, Ash told her that his Female Swampert, Feraligator's Mate knew the move and that he would get her to start training Piplup but it could only work if he learned to better control the flow of energy in his body so before that could happen he would need to improve his ability to use Hydro Pump or Whirlpool as both moves required experience in controlling large amounts of water.
Dawn's Buneary was going to be training with Lucario to learn to focus the power in her body, so that she could begin to train under one of his other pokemon to learn a new move. Lucario so she could learn the Focus Punch move, Floatzel to learn Ice Punch, Infernape for Fire Punch or his Dragonite to learn Thunder Punch, it was up for Dawn to decide which move she was going to learn. Ash was also going to have her learn ThunderBolt from Pikachu, but that would have to be under more strict supervision as he knew how she was around him, and for her to also learn Iron Tail as well.
Dawn's Typhlosion was going to be training by using flame wheel to improve both his endurance and speed as well as his fire power, before joining May's Ponyta and Ash's Rapidash and learning how to use Flame Charge as Ash had decide to teach him Wild Charge as he did his Rapidash.
Dawn's Cleffa was going to be training with his Scrafty, so that she could begin to understand the Basics of her egg move Zen headbutt as well as start to learn some of the basics before starting to train fully with Togetic to master the move Metronome.
Dawn's Glameow was to use Fury swipes against the trees and rocks around her, so that they could improve in Speed, Power and Sharpness, before he would start to train her to learn the move Dig which was why he wanted her to have sharp claws and then later have her learn Thunderbolt and Iron tail from Pikachu and Shadow ball from Umbreon.
Dawn's Ambipom was going to also train his Fury swipes but he was doing it so he could later learn Shadow claw from Ash's Gengar and Ash also wanted him to improve the strength of his two tail hands as Ash had planned to also have him train under one of his other Pokémon to learn a Punch move.
Lastly, where the two Eevee's, Flare and Light, Ash told the two that they were to battle each other for now as it was still early for them.
Once Ash had finished giving out the training plan for today he left the two girls and their pokemon to begin their training and headed over to where Misty was to begin her stage two training, he called the pokemon he was having help and continued on his way over to her.
While Ash had been explaining May and Dawn's Training, Misty had been walking over to the clearing in the forest to get ready for her training with Ash, or how she called it her "alone time with Ash", Misty had begun to enjoy this training more as this has helped both of them get closer together and Misty had learned more about what Ash had done during the six years they had been separated. She had learned about all the different training he had done like he had spent months living on Mt. Silver so that he and his pokemon could adapt to the freezing cold, he then spent a couple of months living around the Relic Castle in the Unova region as it was located in vast and arid desert. Ash also told her that for a period of nine months he had gone and travelled through the other regions of the world, he first travelled to Almia and had spent time training in the Boyleland Volcano area, he told Misty that he had met up with Kellyn who was there on a job, he told Misty that he was the Ranger that had helped him and Lucario in Sinnoh, who was only a Riolu at the time, then he travelled over to Fiore and had spent time while he was helping out the local rangers, he spent most of his time helping a kid named Lunick, who later turned out to be Solana's Partner a Pokemon Ranger who Ash had met along with May when they were travelling for the Battle Frontier challenge, afterwards he had travelled to the Oblivia Region and had met up with Ben and his Ukulele Pichu, a Pokemon Ranger he had helped during his journey in Sinnoh along with Dawn, they had helped him catch a unique Heatren and bring it to a Wild park for safety, once he was done with Oblivia, he headed over to the Orre region where he had met a young couple, a boy named Wes and a girl named Rui, he had met them because he was attacked by a pale Primape that had a bit of a purple tinge to it, the two of them appeared a bit afterwards, Wes had used some sort of hand device that he called a Snag Machine to deal with the Primape and when he was done it looked like a normal one again, Wes and Rui told Ash that they were shadow pokemon, Pokemon that had had their hearts sealed away and could only think of evil, Ash had stayed and helped them a bit with hunting down the few Shadow pokemon that had escaped from them during there take down of an evil team called Team Snagem. She also earned about how he came to meet his Elite four members.
When he was finished with that was when he had come back to Kanto and restarted the Kanto league, the first thing he did was find the people that he wanted for Elite four the first he found was Simon the Steel Type Elite four member. He found Simon when he was journeying through Sinnoh, it was only three months after the betrayal at this point, he originally worked in the Fuego Ironworks, his Father had been the Forman their before he took over the job, but he decided one do that he wanted to see more of the world so he left the Ironworks to explore the world, starting with his home region of Sinnoh and after three Months he met Ash in Canalave City were Simon had been learning more on Steel types, they Battled with Simon losing rather Quickly as at the time the pokemon he had with him were his Starter a Metang, a Newly evolved Steelix, a Probopass and a young Aron, so to Ash an experienced trainer there wasn't much of a battle, but when they met up again when Ash was looking for promising trainers to become one of his Elite four, this time Ash met Simon when they were in Snowpoint City, Simon showed him much more of a challenge, this time around he had a Powerful Metagross, a brute of an Aggron, a resilient Steelix tempered by tough battles, a Bastiodon that could block even a fully powered Blast Burn from a Blaziken, a Probopass that was harder than diamonds and a Bisharp that cut through attacks like they were water. But in the end, when he was faced with Ash that was no good and he fell once more to his Might. It was after the battle that Ash offered him the position as one of Kanto's new Elite four and a position that he readily agreed to as for Simon, Ash was someone he wanted to be like a powerful trainer that could beat even the strongest of challengers, and they had been friends ever since that day.
The Next Elite he found was Mark the Electric Type Elite four member. He met Mark when he was travelling through the Hoenn region, this was eleven months after the betrayal, Mark was an engineer that had worked in the Mauville Power Plant, he liked to visit the Battle Institute, as doing this allowed him to challenge different types of trainers. It was here that he met Ash and was utterly defeated without ever being able to call out an attack and to make it really sting he lost to a Blastoise, a water type, the pokemon he had owned at the time where, his starter a Jolteon, a sturdy Electabuzz, a helpful Magneton and a young Pikachu. When he talked to Ash after the battle he asked how he got his pokemon so strong, and Ash had told him that he trained his pokemon to never lose to their weakness and with that Ash left. After that day Mark trained his Pokémon to be the best they could, but it wasn't working out as there wasn't much difference in power in the trainers that were competing in the Battle Institute, so he retired from his job as an engineer and left to travel and grow strong, and when he met up with Ash again in Fallarbor town, it had been over a year since there last meeting an now Mark had travelled through most of the regions battling strong trainers and gaining lots of experience, when they battled this time Mark had, a Jolteon that seemed to disappear in a flash during the battle, an Electivire that could demolish rocks like they were of sand, a Magnezone that was stronger than titanium, a Raichu that could pierce a Golem's shell, a Luxray that had the power to crush steel with his jaws and a Zebstrika that made it footsteps sound like roaring thunder. Mark felt that this time things would be different but it once again proved too much of an obstacle to overcome and he lost again to ash and his Blastiose. When Ash offered him the postion of one of his Elites, it barely took more than a second for him to respond, he never regretted his decision as it had lead him to a place where he could overcome the problems he was having and learn new skills every day.
The Next Elite Ash had found was Sonia the Water Type Elite four member. He met Sonia when he was travelling through the Unova region, this was One year and three monthes after the betrayal, Sonia was a well-known Musical performer in Nimbasa City, she would perform these beautifully choreographed musicals, that she put on in the musical hall, she was known as the "Water Fairy", a name she gained from the costumes she wore and the Pokémon, she owned. When she wasn't doing the performances, she was improving her Pokémon's talents at the Battle Insitute, it was here that she and Ash met and where she lost to him, she was known to use her musical performance moves in her battles, but when she face Ash even her flashy moves failed to daze him, and what really annoyed her was how he looked at her, she was beautiful, yet he barely even looked at her. Her pokemon never stood a chance against his, hers where her starter a Wartorte, a beautiful Milotic, an elegant Vaporeon and an acrobatic Simipour. When she talked to him after the battle he told her that while her Pokémon moved great, it wasn't a musical performance so her Pokémon flaws and weakness could easily be seen, with that he left to continue his journey. After that Sonia decided that she needed to improve her skills and left on a musical tour with her pokemon, journeying all over the regions, putting on Musical performances with her pokemon and learning how to better use her talents in battling. She met Ash again in Undella town, where she was performing a Beautiful water show, When she challenged him to a battle her pokemon had improved greatly, she had a nimble Blastiose who could barely leave an impression on the soft sand, a Milotic that appeared to shine like a rainbow, a Vaporeon that could merge with water to a degree that it would be impossible to ever find it, a Kingdra that could out race a Rapidash even on the land, an Elegant Gorebyss who's shells shone like Sapphire's and a Simipour who could create Ice that would look like a luxurious jewel, but still nothing could faze Ash as he took out each of her pokemon, when it was over he offered her a position as one of his Elites as he said truly lived up to her title as she could control the flow of her pokemon like they were water and only a "Water Fairy", could do that, She blushed greatly how smooth the words came out of his mouth and as it was warmer she got a great look at his Physique and she really liked it, she jumped into his arms and kissed his cheek and thanked him for the new job. Misty was annoyed when he told her about his and kind of jealous but she was able to keep it hidden, well she thought but forgot that her emotions were tied to Aura so Ash could see the jealously flow out of her.
The last of the Elites he found was Julia the Normal Type Elite four member. He met Julia when he was travelling in Johto, this was six months after the betrayal and before he headed to Hoenn and met Mark. Julia was the four times champion of the Pokéathlon, she held the highest records in all of the events the best being the relay race with thirty laps, the second highest in that event was only sixteen laps. Julia trained with her Pokemon every day and usually had some battles with the trainers that had come to get the Plain badge from Whitney, she did this as it helped improve her pokemon speed and strength. It was like this until she had a battle with Ash and he wiped the floor with her, her prized Pokémon that were the Pokéathlon Champions, were no match for Ash, they were her strong Snorlax, her speedy Pidgeotto, her sturdy Kangakhan and her adaptable ditto, she talked to Ash after the battle, the reason was because during the battle see witnessed something she thought was impossible, that was her 460Kg Snorlax being lifted up by a Torterra, a pokemon that was lighter than hers, she was amazed that he had trained his pokemon to do this, she wanted Ash to help her train but he told her that she had to find her own way of getting stronger or she will never become strong. He left on his Pidgeot after saying this and Julia started to think of what she was lacking in her training and she realized that all she was doing was fighting against trainers with onlt a few months of experience at most and that she needed to experience more powerful foes, so she packed up a bag and headed out to experience the world. She once again met Ash after two years of travelling around when she returned back to Goldenrod City, to see how much her training had done for her, when she was making her way over to the Pokeathlon, she met Ash by the road side on Route Thirty-five, he was training with his Lucario, she had to stop herself clapping when he had finished as she had never seen anyone fight a pokemon, but she had heard it was how the Elite four Member Bruno trained so it was amazing to see it in person, when Ash noticed he called out and they chatted a bit before Julia challenged to a battle as she told him during the chat, that he was the one to inspire her to train harder and Ash said that he did remember after that, the battle went better than before but it still ended the same even though her Pokemon had improved, she now had a Snorlax that could run like a Arcanine, a Pidgeot that could cause a Category Five hurricane with its wings, a Kangaksan that could bend Steel girders, a ditto that copy multiple Pokémon and change at will, a Porygon-Z that could out fly a Mega Latios and a Ambipom that was able to use Four punch moves at once, Julia was amazed at how much stronger Ash had become and when he asked her if she was willing to become one of his Elites, she jumped at the chance as she wanted to learn more from him and to get stronger.
Misty was amazed that Ash had found these four people who by themselves could have become Champions of their own regions but had decided to follow him, as they could see that this was a person who could help them get stronger and improve themselves.
After a while Misty could hear noises coming from the bushes near her, if it had been a month or two ago, Misty would be screaming her lungs out from being in this Bug forest and a strange noise come from the bushes, but know that she was here and had some training with Ash, she knew it had to be one of his pokemon or him coming into the clearing, it also helped that she had her baby Togetic with her.
A few moment later and Ash appeared out from the bushes, followed by Leavanny, Ash looked over to Misty who was sitting in her now usual spot ready for her Fear training.
"Alright, Misty as I said before, today we will increase the training to the next stage, now that you could have Butterfree sit next to you during your last few training days, we should now have him sit on your head when he gets here with your new training partner", Ash said this as he moved to sit now to the tree next to the one Misty was sitting at,while Leavanny went and sat near Misty and started to make Leaf clothes, After a few minutes Butterfree appeared followed by another Pink Butterfree, it was Butterfree's mate that was the new training partner, Misty was happy that it wasn't going to be a more bigger pokemon.
"So, Butterfree's mate, is going to be my new training partner", Misty asked as Butterfree sat down next to her, while the Pink Butterfree went over to Ash to see where she was going to go, Ash nodded to Misty's question and told the Pink Butterfree to sit down next to his one, the Pink Butterfree fluttered over to Misty and laid down next to her mate. Ash told Misty that this will be the same for three days before he had his Butterfree sit on her head and another Pokemon was going to be joining them. Misty said that this was fine for now and was ready for the rest of the training.
Ash's Pokegear went off and showed that it was now 4pm, he signalled the end of today's training and the two of them thanked the pokemon for their help and Ash told Misty to go back to the house while he went to get May and Dawn who should be finished with their training as well. Ash arrived back at the open grasslands and saw that both May and Dawn where laying on the ground, Lucario was sitting near them meditating, he called out for the girls to head back to the house, so that they could get cleaned up and that he would be coming soon to get dinner ready for them, so that it was ok to take their time. The girl slowly raised up and hobbled over to the house to get cleaned up and to ice their sore muscles, as Ash watched them head away he started to talk to Lucario as he wanted to know how todays specialized training had gone. Lucario began to explain to him the results of today's training.
May and Dawn had learned the basics of some fighting moves and their speed had improved from their laps around the grasslands, but there was still more work that needed to be done so that they could actually, defend themselves. Ash was glad to see that they were getting more into shape and that they were now learning the moves to which they could defend themselves with.
May's Blaziken was able to fight with his for a few Minutes with his using his full power and was starting to learn the basics of the move Crush Claw.
May's Wartortle had improved his speed and his power, but still paled to the speed of Floatzel and was now starting to learn Iron Tail.
May's Venusaur had improved her ability to use Frenzy Plant and could now conjure up to five vines out of the ground and had started to learn how to store power in its body for solarbeam. Lucario said that with the amount of power she could store, she would need more than three weeks to have to control needed to start learning Grass Pledge.
May's Glaceon had improved its power and had more control over the size and direction of its shadow ball, it could now concentrate the power in its body better and could make its Iron tail quicker and hit harder, it could now Dig much faster and lastly it could fire a larger Ice beam than before.
May's Vulpix and Growlithe had improve greatly and Ash was now satisfied that they could control the power in their body's even if they were to evolve, so he told Lucario that after dinner could he get two Fire stones ready for them, Lucario nodded and continued to explain the rest of the progress they had made, like how Vulpix was now able to use secret power better and how Growlithe could store power better in his body and was getting better at getting his tail to turn to Iron.
May's Ponyta had improved her stamina and was able to do twenty laps around the grasslands before it couldn't do anymore and had improve the power and heat of her moves and could now wrap thirty percent of her body with fire when using the move Flame charge and could create a three-spiral circle when using fire spin.
Dawn's Togekiss had improved in controlling the power in her body and could now make steel wing last for thirty seconds before it dissipated and could now also let out a small wave of fire when using heat wave. Lucario said that with her current training schedule and the amount of power she could now store in her body it would only take another week or two before she would be ready to start training her Aura sphere. Ash was glad to hear this and made a note to have his Blastiose help with the training as he was the only non-Aura adapt pokemon that knew Aura sphere.
Dawn's Piplup had learned to store more power in his wings and could now make some shallow cuts in the rocks nearby, he was also getting more practise in controlling the volume and speed of his whirlpool attack as well as the size and pressure of his hydro pump, as to get ready for learning Water Pledge.
Dawn's Buneary had been able to focus more power in her body thanks to her training with Lucario and ash was told by Lucario that Dawn had decided that she was going to have Buneary learn both Thunder Punch and Fire Punch. Ash said he would talk to Dawn more about it later when Buneary had gained better control of the power in her body.
Dawn's Typhlosion had increased his power and speed as well as his endurance, he could now keep rolling with Flame wheel for ten minutes on the spot. Typhlosion was also able to start learning the basics of Flame charge and could coat twenty percent of his body in fire when using it.
Dawn's Cleffa was able to control some of the power in her body, with the help of Scrafty and Lucario said that while she was starting to understand what she needed to do to use her Egg move Zen headbutt, it wasn't possible for her to use it until she at least evolved. Ash knew that was most likely the case as Scrafty didn't learn the move until he evolved.
Dawn's Glameow had improved her speed and could now hit five times in a row, she improved the sharpness of her claws and could make 4cm cuts in the trees and 2cm cuts in the rocks. She has also improved the strength of her front paws and claws, she could now make a 3ft deep hole in the ground. Lucario said that from watch her that she could start to learn how to focus and control the power in her body as to help learn shadow ball and Thunderbolt later from Umbreon and Pikachu.
Dawn's Ambipom had done the same as Glameow and had improved his power and speed using Fury swipes, he could do it five times in a row and now could start to learn the basics of Shadow claw, but Lucario said that he would need more training in focusing his power before he could start to learn a Punch move.
Lastly, the two Eevee's had improved their power and speed and now had better control over their moves and Lucario said that it would be better to evolve Flare soon as to help continue her training, he also said that this would also be best for Aqua too. Ash replied that he did plan to let the Girls evolve them when the young Eevee had gotten better control over their moves.
When Lucario had told all of this to Ash, Ash thanked him and told him to make sure all his and the girls pokemon had gotten their dinner and Ash left to get the dinner ready for the girls, while Lucario started to have all the other pokemon line up for their dinner.
Two hours later and everyone was fed and now Ash was talking to May and Misty, explaining that it was time for May's Vulpix and Growlithe to evolve as they had reached the point where they could control the power in their bodies if they were to evolve, May was ecstatic that her pokemon had improved so much and her happiness only improved when Ash told her and Misty that it was nearly the time for their two Eevee's to evolve so that they could get more specialized training done before the tournament, Misty was happy and jumped up for the couch she was sitting on and hugged Ash, Ash was surprised but told the two that this was all because they cared for the two Eevee's very well that it happened so fast. Misty let go of hugging Ash when she saw the looks she was getting from May and Dawn, she sat back down on the couch and tried to hide her blushing face, Lucario came in the door at this time and handed May the two Fire stones for evolving her Vulpix and Growlithe, Lucario said that he had them waiting outside for her, May quickly walked over to the door and the rest followed her, when they got there they saw May was hugging her Pokemon and congratulating them on all the hard work they had done, she then set the two stones down in front on them, the two pokemon place the right front paws on the stones and a bright light enveloped the two, their bodies began to grow bigger, Vulpix began to grow three more tails and change color from a light red to a golden cream, while Growlithe's body got much bigger and his mane and tail became much bushier, the light died down to now reveal a Arcanine and Nintails standing before them, May quickly hugged her two newly evolved pokemon and then scanned them with her pokedex, what she learned was by evolving Arcanine had learned Extreme speed and Thunder Fang, he also was able to unlock his egg move Close Combat and Ninetails had learned Flamethrower and Confuse ray, she also unlocked two of her Egg moves Psyshock and Energy ball, Ash said that he would chose some of the pokemon that knew those moves to help them better understand how to use them. Lucario lead the two pokemon back to the rest while Ash said that he was going to go to sleep as he did have a tough day yesterday, the girls said that they were going to watch some tv before they went to bed as May and Dawn's bodies were sore from their training today. Once Ash had headed upstairs the two girls quickly pounced on Misty to ask her questions about why she had hugged Ash and for her blushing, this lasted for some time before the stopped and watched Tv and then headed to bed May and Dawn walking slowly, while Misty went to bed with a smile on her face.
Month Two/Day Nineteen
Today was the start of the next part of Misty's training, over the previous days the training had gone well with Misty and the two Butterfree being able to get much closer so that today's training could happen.
Misty was now getting dressed for her training with Ash, while May and Dawn were still in bed after the training they had yesterday with Lucario, which was a sparring session, so Ash when he saw them still in their beds as he had come up to get something from his room he told them that today was going to be a recovery day for them and that Lucario was going to continue their pokemon training, as today was the beach training session, but as they were still girls, May and Dawn said that they would help out as they wanted to relax by the beach, so they both very slowly started to get up and get ready, while this happened Ash and Misty went downstairs, Misty went into the kitchen and Ash went outside to have his usual sparring match with Lucario before he got his breakfast and started Misty's training. May and Dawn were just coming down the stairs as Ash and Misty were leaving, Misty called out that she had made Breakfast for the two of them and shut the door behind her. Ash told her to head over to the training spot again after she had called Togetic over to her, she nodded and started to walk over there with Togetic sitting on her shoulder. Ash headed to get her new training partner and then headed over to the forest.
In the forest Misty was now sitting under the usual tree, she was playing with Togetic when Ash came into the clearing and behind him was her new Training Partner and when she saw who it was she tensed up, it was a large blue beetle pokemon with a large horn on its forehead and two small antennas on either side of the horn, it had sharp claws and a happy look on its face as it was standing next to Ash. This was her new Training Partner, Ash's Happy Heracross.
Heracross had Ash's Butterfree's mate sitting on his horn while Butterfree was on Ash's head and Leavanny was heading over to the tree where Misty was sitting and waited for Ash to start the training.
"Ok, Misty as I said Before today we will have Butterfree here sit on your head, so here we go", spoke Ash and Butterfree started to flutter over and landed on Misty's head, Misty was surprised at how much Butterfree weighed, even though he looked light when he was on Ash's head, she realized that Ash had grown use to it, Next Ash had the Pink Butterfree sit next to her and told Leavanny to start making her leaf clothes, Lastly was Heracross, Ash had him follow him over to the tree next to the one Misty was at and say down with Heracross infront of him. When this was done Ash took out a cloth from his pocket and began to wipe Heracross's Shell.
"Misty, this will be what you will be doing tomorrow, you will be helping Heracross keep his shell clean and Shiny, So watch closely as you have to do it a certain way or he won't be able to open his wings, it will be just like how you did at your gym with the Sheller, your Staryu and Starmie and like how you would always clean Togepi's shell during our travel's together." Ash said this as he pulled out a brush to remove the sap that was stuck to Heracross's chest, Misty was happy that he remembered their journey together even though it was over twelve years ago and everything that had happened.
Misty spent the rest of the training time watching Ash and Heracross to make sure, that she knew the way to clean and polish Heracross as so to make sure he could open his wings. Ash's Pokegear went off and it showed 2pm, he called the training at this point as he had other plans he wanted to get done. He told Heracross to make sure that he didn't get more sap on his chest, he and Misty thanked the two Butterfree for their help and Ash thanked Leavanny for make for cloths for the Caterpie as they when through them quickly as they got bigger. When the Pokemon had left Misty asked Ash why the training had finished early, but all Ash would say was he had a surprise for her at the beach. Misty was excited and wondered what kind of surprise he had planned. Both of them made their way over to the beach on the right side of the island, when they got there they saw that May was relaxing under a sun umbrella and Dawn was helping her Togekiss practice Heatwave on the rocks and had Glameow use fury swipes on the rocks.
Ash called out to the girls to gather round with their pokemon and had Misty call her pokemon over who had been training by the beach for the past few weeks to improve themselves. Before Ash would reavel his surprise he had Lucario head back to the house gather something while he looked over the Girls pokemon he started with May's.
May's Blaziken had improved her control over her fire power and could know crush small rocks with her crush claw.
May's Venusaur could control now six vines and could now store enough power in her body to start learning the move Solarbeam but it was still too little for Grass Pledge.
May's Wartortle had improved a lot, his speed in the water was nearly as fast as Misty's Seadra and he had managed to make his tail glow and harden for five seconds before it dissipated, but the biggest improvement was when Ash told May that Wartortle was close to evolving, May was happy to know that and hugged her Wartortle.
May's Glaceon had improved the power of her shadow ball and could now make one the size of a basketball and had improved her Ice power and could now make her Blizzard attack get to seven inches away from Emboar.
May's Ninetails had gotten use to her new body and had improved her control when using Flamethrower, she was also getting better at concentrating the power needed to use Energy ball.
May's Arcanine was also getting use to his bigger body and was learning how to control his new move Extreme speed from watching and practicing with Lucario, who also knew the move. He was able to use his egg move Close combat to some degree before he fell over and his Thunder Fang needed a lot of work before it could do actual electric damage but with his powerful jaws it did still hurt.
May's Ponyta had been practicing her Flame charge and Fire spin and could now have flame charge cover seventy percent of her body and could create a five-spiral circle with Fire spin.
Ash was pleased at how much May's Pokemon had grown since coming here and May was happy that her pokemon where becoming stronger and gaining more control over their moves as it will help when doing performances. Ash then turned and started with Dawn's pokemon.
Dawn's Togekiss had improved her ability to control, store and release power from her body, which improved her ability to use Steel wing and Heatwave. Lucario and ash both agree that within a week Togekiss will be ready to learn more on Aura and improve her Aura Sphere.
Dawn's Piplup had improved his ability to use Aerial ace and could now use the move to speed himself up to make it appear he was flying and he had improved his ability to control his Whirlpool attack, which was now twice the size it use to be and he was able to improve his hydro pump and had followed Blastoise's advice and made his smaller but more dense as to improve its power.
Dawn's Buneary had improve quite a bit since the last time, she could now store enough power to use one of the new moves she was learning, but both he and Lucario agreed that she would need to evolve if she wanted to improve the amount she could store and to be able to use the two moves at once like how his Infernape could use three punching type moves together.
Dawn's Typlosion was now able to swim in the water for five minutes before he couldn't stand it anymore and left, he also improved his fire power and was now able to coat his body fifty-five percent when he used Flame Charge.
Dawn's Cleffa seemed to have improved her power and had maxed out the amount she could store at the moment, but as Ash had said earlier she was close to evolving so there was no worry about her hurting herself with the extra power in her body.
Dawn's Glameow had improved her fury swipes and could now cut deeper into the rocks around the beach and was able to start learning to store and control power in her body, this training started as she was on the beach and couldn't improve her dig while she was on soft sand.
Dawn's Ambipom has improved his Fury swipes and could destroy the rocks he hit with the move and has started his training with Gengar to learn Shadow claw.
Ash was happy with the improvements that Dawn's Pokemon had made and told Dawn that he would need her to spend more time training with Cleffa as to get her happiness levels up to the point where she would evolve as her training couldn't continue if that didn't happen. Dawn said that she would start to let Cleffa stay with her in her room instead of having her stay in her pokeball or letting her stay in the kindergarten section of the island. Ash after talking to Dawn about Cleffa started to examine Misty's Pokemon which he hadn't done in a while.
Misty's Gyarados had greatly improved since he last saw him, He could now stand against Ash's Gyarados Thunderbolt and only 40% of Pikachu's full powered Thunderbolt, Misty's Gyarados had improved his power in his Thunderbolt and was close to Ash's Gyarados's in power and had increased his speed in the water, he also improved his Hyper beam and could now bore a small hole in the rocks nearby.
Misty's Seadra has increased his speed to the point where he could now keep up with Ash's Vaporeon sometimes and had gained more control over her egg move Dragon Breath and he had learned the new move Hydro Pump.
Misty's Politoad had improved his arm strength and could now destroy rocks with his double slap, had improved his watergun attack and it became a hydropump attack and he increased his Mega pinch attack to now cause cracks in the large boulders.
Misty's Corsola had improved her Spike cannon to the point where the spike would pierce the hard boulders around the beach and had learned two new moves, they were Rock Blast and Power Gem. She could only small rocks with rock blast and could do it three or four times at most and with Power gem she could only do light damage with it, but she was improving them.
Misty's Marill was last and had improved lots, she had gained more control over her egg move Muddy water and she learned a new move Aqua tail, she was able to coat her tail in a good amount of water and could attack and cause some damage, but not enough the actually cause much damage in a fight. But the thing that surprised Ash was that Marill was close to evolving, when he told this to Misty she looked at her Marill, who was smiling at her and just rubbed her head as she didn't know what to saw to that.
Ash was impressed by how much Misty's Pokemon had improved and was wondering what Misty was going to do about Marill soon evolving, while Misty was happy that her pokemon had improved so much but was conflicted as what she should feel about Maril, as she should feel excited that her Pokemon was going to evolve and sad that her Baby was now fully grown up, her thoughts were broken when Lucario came back down from the house holding something.
Lucario handed Ash two objects and then started to head back to the house and start dinner for the pokemon, after being handed the two objects, Ash turned back to the girls and held out each hand to May and Misty, held in each of his hands was a stone, a water stone was held in front of Misty and a Fire stone in front of May. When both girls took the stones from Ash they both had excited looks on their faces as they were finally going to evolve their Eevee's in to their new types, once the girls had the stones Ash whistled out and the three Eevee's appeared and they were followed by Ash's Vaporeon and Umbreon, Ash told the girls that they couldnow evolve their Eevee's. Misty quickly bent down and picked up her Eevee and then held the water stone against her head, once that happened, Aqua, Misty's Eevee started to brightly glow, firstly her body grew bigger then, her light brown fur started to change into smooth light blue skin, then frills appeared around her head and lastly her tail grow into the shape of what a mermaid would look like, long and sleek with two fins on the end.
When the light died down Misty was now holding her newly evolved Vaporeon, Misty hugged her and giggled as Vaporeon licked her face. May bent down and set her Fire stone in front of her Eevee, who placed her right front paw on it, when this happened Flare, May's Eevee started to shine brightly as well, firstly her body got bigger, then her light brown fur turned light orange and the fur on her chest grew more and became very soft and lastly her tail grew large and changed from light brown the a cream color.
When the light died down, the pokemon that was in front of May was now a Flareon, May picked up her new pokemon and was stroking her soft fur, both girl then set down their new pokemon and scanned them with their Pokedex's, with Misty using Dawn's, When it was done May had found out that her Flareon had learned Ember, Fire fang and Fire spin, she also found out that he Flareon's ability was Flash fire, while Misty had discovered that hers had learned Watergun, Water Pulse, Aurora beam and Aqua ring and found out that her Vaporeon's Ability was Hydration, the same ability as her Mother, it would seem that she inherited the ability when she evolved. Misty was happy that her new pokemon had something become more like her mother and so was her mother when she told this to her Vaporeon and Ash's.
Ash watched Misty and May playing with their new pokemon, with Dawn playing with her Eevee, while his two were watching their kids grow up, Ash thought to himself that this was how it was supposed to be. Misty being happy and giggling while playing with her pokemon, May trying to work out how she was going to make use of her new pokemon moves to make a beautiful performance and Dawn thinking of which of her other pokemon could best complement Eevee's moves during a contest, this was what the girls lives for the last six years should have been and not he hell it was because of those damm traitorous bunch of guys, But Ash knew in the end no matter how much he was mad at them, the girls were worse, he also knew that when the tournament started everything that had gone wrong for him and the girls would be put right.
Ash called out to the girls that it was time for the pokemon dinner and theirs as well, so the girls asked if it was alright for the Eeveelutions to join them, with Dawn and May giving him cute in his mind puppy dog eyes, but it was the face of Misty as she looked at him while holding Vaporeon up against her face that made Ash blush and turn away and just sigh and say "fine" to them, that had gotten them to cheer out. The four of them walked back to the house with the girl carrying their pokemon and Ash's following behind him, they had their dinner with the Eeveelutions and then Ash said he was going out for some training with Pikachu as he hadn't done it for a while so he needed it, the girls said that they would watch some tv for the rest of the day.
Month Two/Day Twenty-Four
After the day on the beach where Misty and May had evolved their Eevee's, the two girls had spent a lot of their time afterwards making sure that they were getting used to their new bodies, while Misty had hers train with her mother, Ash's Vaporeon, to help it become more faster in the water and to get it use to the felling of having her body becoming one with the water, May had her Flareon first train with her Arcanine to help improve the power of her Fire moves and a to better control her new moves and secondly had her train with her Ponyta and Ash's Rapidash to help increase her speed as she was the fastest out of all the Eeveelutions. During this time Dawn had started to have Cleffa stay in her room at night and spent more time with her during the day to bring up her Happiness levels.
It was now 7:30am in the Morning and both May and Misty were in the kitchen with their Eeveelutions, they were making Breakfast and could hear the sounds of Ash and Lucario having a sparring session even though the two of them were out in the grasslands over 500m away from the house, it still caused some shock waves to shake the house.
The two girls were both dressed for the day they were having with Ash, Misty was wearing a light blue t-shirt with a yellow jacket over it, a green skirt with white leggings and red and white sneakers, while May was wearing a black t-shirt with a light brown cardigan, a pair of white biker shorts with black stockings and blue and green sneakers. The girls were dressed like this as yesterday at the dinner table Ash had told May that today he was going to have her catch her Pansear, the last of the pokemon she wanted for the tournament and that Misty was going to becoming with them as Pansear could only be found in the Unova region in either the Pinwheel Forest, which was where they were going or in Lostlorn forest, but it was more harder to find one there as it was much smaller than Pinwheel and was a well explored place as it was next to Nimbasa city and near the Wonderbridge, now Misty was nervous when he had told them this as they were going into a forest full of bug and other types of pokemon and none of them where Ash's, but she was calmed down when Ash put his hand on her shoulder and told her that he would always be by her side the whole time they were there, so nothing was going to go wrong. Misty's face had a tint of red on it when she remembered that he said he would always be at her side, she quickly recovered and continued to help May make breakfast for the four of them.
Ash and Lucario came into the house just as Dawn had come down the stairs with her Cleffa in her arms, when they arrived into the house the three girls were just staring at the two of them, Lucario had some cuts and bruises over his body, but nothing serious he couldn't deal with, while Ash had his Black training top covered in dirt and grass stains and sweat stains, his grey shorts had dirt stains on the back from him hitting the ground and his once white sneakers were now brown and green from mud and grass, but the reason for the staring was the same every time the two of them sparred and that was Ash had come in once more holding his black top in his right arm while a towel was hanging around his neck and the girls got the experience of his toned body, you would think that after the first couple of time the girls would be used to it but no, Misty would always have her face light up bright red before she looked away and May and Dawn would whistle out to him with their faces having a red tinge to them, like Misty but less notable, but Ash could always tell as their Aura would flash pink every time, Ash just walked over to Dawn and went by her and up the stairs to get changed in to new clothes for the trip today, he came back down now changed into a grey polo shirt with a zipped down black jacket, navy cargo trousers and blue and white trainers. The four of them ate their breakfast, silent at first as the girls still were red but once ash started to talk it went back to being normal.
"Right, so Misty and May will be going with me to Pinwheel forest to have May catch her Pansear and to have Misty continue her training in a different environment, while that is happening Lucario will continue training your pokemon down at the beach today." The two girls nodded when Ash said this, "So, Dawn I want you to spend the day today with Cleffa as I can feel that she should evolve today given how her aura is reacting with you.", Dawn was happy that her Pokemon was going to evolve today and said that she was going to train with her when she evolves, Ash nodded and then started the talk with Lucario about the girls Pokemon training that he might be becoming back with "her" if things went well today, the girls asked Ash who "her" was, but Ash wouldn't say who it was only that it was someone he was going to be meeting in Pinwheel Forest. Once they knew that he wouldn't talk the three girls started to talk about different things from how the tournament was onlt a month away at this point and they were speculating which of the gym would have signed up for it and what pokemon they would be using, Misty guessed that was most likely to take part as he alawys wanted a challenge and he was the Electric type Gym leader of Kanto so he would be using his Raichu that he was so proud of but the other pokemon would be a complete guess, she also thought that Erika or Sabrina would be participating in the tournament as Erika loved to be in the spotlight and Sabrina was a person who had helped Misty during the troubling time with guys, so they had grown close to each other and Misty knew that she might be in the tournament to help improve herself as she was the quiet type of girl that didn't get out much. May said that she hoped that her father didn't take place as she hadn't spoke to her father in over five years not since he decided to take Max's side in the whole incident, she did still talk to her mother but that was only once or twice a month just to give he an update of how things were going with her, May's guesses for which of the Hoenn Gym leaders might be in the tournament were Flannery as she like and was always up for a challenge and maybe either Roxanne or Wattson, but Roxanne did run the trainers school in Rustboro City, so she might not want to do it and Wattson was getting older and might not want to make the trip to Kanto just for the tournament. Dawn's part of the conversation was that she thought that Roark and his Father Byron would join the tournament as they like to challenge each other and this was the best way they could do it and she knew that Maylene would want the experience of fighting against powerful oppenents, so she would join and lastly she said that either Candice or Volkner might join as both were powerful Gym leaders in Sinnoh being the 7th and 8th gyms. Their conversation ended when Ash said he knew all the Gym leaders that would be competing in the tournament as he had received a list from his Elite Four after the sign-up date had past which was at the start of the second month in their training, the girls asked who was on the list but Ash said that they would have to wait for the actual tournament to start to see who was going to be in the tournament, the girls pouted at this which made them have some cute looks on their faces and had caused Ash to stare for a bit but he quickly shook his mind away from it and asked if Misty and May were ready to go as it was now 9am and he didn't know how long it would take to find a Pansear as they were a rare pokemon to begin with.
Misty and May nodded that they were ready to go after they had put their dishes in the sink and both had returned their Eeveelutions who would becoming with them Vaporeon to help Misty along with Togetic and May brought Flareon to battle Pansear, Dawn said she would clean the dishes before she started her training with Cleffa and ash held out his hands for Misty and May to take, both Ash and Misty went a bit red while May had a small smirk on her face from the interaction, once he had their hands they disappeared in a bright light leaving Dawn in the kitchen with Cleffa and her Eevee who had come in the door. Dawn keep thinking to herself that if Misty didn't make a move quickly she would, she thought this as she started to clean the dishes, while her Eevee and Cleffa were playing with each other.
PinWheel Forest/Unova Region
The three of them arrive at the entrance to PinWheel forest near Nacrene City, they entered the forest and could instantly hear the chirping sounds of the Pidove coming from the trees and could see the Cottenee floating around the tree tops, which was were Misty had spotted some Sewaddle that where eating some of the leaves, Misty started to hold on to the sleeve of Ash's Jacket when she spotted them, Ash didn't react when she did this and continued to listen to the forest and with his Aura sense, he could hear the distant scuttling of the Venipede and the rolling of the Whirlipede and the ever so quiet move moments of an Audino. He focused his aura hearing more and found a group of Pansage that were climbing some trees to the west of them, he focused more and found some Panpours playing in a stream to the north with some Tympole and once he focused some more he found what he was looking for a group of Pansear that were having some battles with each other and some Timburr's to the east of them, he told May that he had found some Pansear's and that he would lead her some of the way but she had to go alone the rest of the way and to not worry about getting lost as he would be keeping a watch on her with his Aura. May thanked him and told him to lead the way.
Ash started to head deeper into the forest while May was thinking about how she was going to catch her new pokemon, Misty was busy looking around and slightly reacting to every noise that was coming from the forest, even if she had Togetic who was patting her head in a reassuring manner, it didn't help much when she seen the Venipede scuttling off in the distance, it was only when Ash held her hand when he was helping her over a tree that had fallen on the path to where they were going that calmed her down, it also helped remind her of why she was doing this as his had was rough compared to her smooth hand and it showed how much he had been through. Ash stopped a few minutes later and pointed to a clearing that was a few meters away.
"May, the Pansear are on the other side of that clearing, so you just have to keep walking forwards and you will find them, but watch out as they are having some battles with each other and some Timburr", spoke Ash as he directed May's attention to the clearing that was in front of them, "Me and Misty will be heading to another so that Misty can do her training, but I can get to you if anything happens", May thanked him for that and headed towards the clearing while Misty and Ash turned and walked a bit more north until they came to a stream that had some Tympole and Red/Blue Basculin swimming in it. Ash had chosen this spot so the Misty would be close to the running water which always help to calm her and so that Misty's Vaporeon could get more swimming practice in.
Ash told Misty to sit under a tree that had two Swadloon and four Swaddle in it, Misty looked at the tree and slowly moved over to it, she was clutching on to Togetic more and more the closer she got to the tree, she finally got to the tree and sat down in front of it, the Sewaddle and Swadloon just looked down at her and then went back to what they were doing paying her no attention. Ash was about to move to sit down when he noticed that the one he came to the forest for was looking at him through the thick trees on the other side of the stream and motioned for him to follow, so he spoke to Misty.
"Misty, you will be staying her for a bit by yourself as I have to do something but don't be worried I will still be looking out for you will my Aura, so just have Vaporeon out to swim in the stream and just sit under that tree until I come back, ok", ash said this as he made his way over to the other side of the stream before he disappeared in to the forest leaving Misty by herself under the tree in the forest.
Misty was playing with Togetic while Vaporeon was playing in the water, she was spraying water at the Tympole who was spraying it back. The Swadloon had come down from the tree and scared Misty a bit but she took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself and breathed in the smell of running water and was able the calm herself down, she looked at the Swadloon who just stared at her before they started to gather some of the fallen leaves and wrap themselves up with them, she was told by Ash that his Leavanny did this when she was a Swadloon to keep warm, so she just let them do that and continued to play with Togetic. After a few minutes she heard some rustling that coming from behind her she thought that it must be May, as was on the other side and called out to her.
"May, I'm over her", Misty said this and the rustling got louder until something appeared out from the bushes and when it did Misty let out a loud shriek.
While this was happening to Misty, May was walking through the forest to the place were Ash had told her to go and as she was nearing the spot she heard the sound of fighting and knew that she had arrived at were the Pansear where, she slowly crept forwards and could now clearly see that two Pansear were fighting each other while there were Timburr who were breathing a bit heavily showing that they had already battled and two Pansear that were just sitting in the tree watching the fighting, May called out her Flareon and carefully decided that the one she was going to catch was winner of this match, the match ended when one of the Pansear used Flame Burst and knocked the other one out, when this happened May ordered her Flareon to use Fire spin and to scare the other away. Flareon bolted forwards and created a ring of fire around the Pansear and then used a combination of sand-attack and ember to scare the other Pokémon away, the others fled whilr the on in the ring of fire, attacked Flareon with Fury wipes, the move hit Flareon on her side and caused her to skid, May quickly ordered Flareon to use Fire Fang and to knock out Pansear, Flareon jumped at Pansear and ignited her mouth and bit down on Pansear's hand and that caused the already weakened Pansear to be knocked out, May then threw a Heal ball at Pansear, the ball shook thrice and then dinged showing that Pansear had been caught. May thanked her Flareon and picked up her new pokemon and then released it, Pansear was now looking better after have being in the heal ball, it started at May for a bit while she scanned it with her Pokedex.
Pansear the High Temp Pokemon. Pansear is Very intelligent, it roasts berries before eating them. It likes to help people. This Pansear is Male and Level 25, Its Ability is Blaze and knows the moves Scratch, Incinerate, Fury swipes and Flame Burst, it also has the Egg moves Fire Punch, Heat wave and Iron Tail.
May put away her Pokedex and patted her Pansear on the head and was excited to see how she could work with him in the future with her contests and she was going to have Ash help her make sure Pansear could learn his Egg moves, just as she had returned her Pansear to his PokeBall she heard the loud Shriek of Misty and began to run towards her, when she had made it to the place she heard Misty's shriek coming from she found a sweet scene.
Ash had just come out of a hidden Grotto while holding a Luxary ball in his hand when he heard the shriek of Misty, he poured Aura into his legs and sprinted as fast of he could to Misty, when he arrived back at the stream he had left her, he found her cowering on the ground while Togetic and Her Vaporeon where facing a Scolipede, he quickly understood what had happened and jumped over the stream and shouted for Togetic to use Heat wave and scare off Scolipede, while he went over and helped Misty up, Togetic faced the Scolipede and growled before unleashing a powerful Heat wave that sped towards Scolipede and once it saw the powerful coming towards it, it quickly knew that it would not be able to escape fast enough and took the hit on its back, which caused it to be blasted forwards a few inches, when the attack end Scolipede's back was black in a few spots were the attack was the hottest, the Scolipede ran from them knowing that it had made a mistake attacking them. When it was all over Ash was sitting on the ground while Misty had her head buried in his chest with her arms wrapped around his neck, he was rubbing Misty's back to help calm her down, he felt May's Aura in the bushes near them and was going to call out to her when Misty spoke.
"Please never leave me again Ash, I don't want to see you leave me again, I don't want us to ever be apart again", Misty cried this out with tears in her eyes, Ash was conflicted when she said this as he didn't know which meaning she meant with it, did she mean that she didn't want him to leave her alone in the forest or was it something more she meant, Ash's heart started to race, which Misty felt and she decided that this was the best time if ever to confess her feelings to him, she lifted her head up and spoke once more.
"Ash, I heard you and Pikachu talking on our first day here about how you said that you weren't good enough for me because of what has happened, but you must know that no one but you could be the one for me, I Love You Ash", Misty said this as she blushed and her face went deep red, Ash looked at Misty and knew that even after all that had happened, what she had said now and when she was in his room was the truth, so he slowly wiped the tears from her eyes, lifted her chin up and kissed her sweetly on the lips, softly at first but then Misty wrapped her hands more around Ash's neck and deepened the kiss, after a bit the two separated and rested their heads against each other, it was such a beautiful moment that was until May slipped and fell out of the bushes and ruined it.
May rubbed the back of her neck and said "sorry" for ruining the sweet moment between the two of them, Ash blushed hard as he had forgotten that she was there, while Misty buried her head back into ash chest so May could she how much redder her face had become from witnessing that embarrassing scene, but inside she was over the moon with happiness that Ash had kissed her. Togetic was flying around cheering that his Parents were finally together and Vaporeon was confused as to what had just happened as she was still young.
After a few minutes of Ash rubbing Misty's back while Togetic helped and Vaporeon was sitting by their side and May was looking at the two of them and planning all kinds of dates for them, Misty lifted her head and let go of Ash's neck before she stood up and returned Vaporeon before she looked back at Ash who had stood up after her and spoke to her.
"So, I guess this means that we are now Boyfriend and Girlfriend, right", Ash said as he rubbed the back of his head, Misty smiled back at him and then took his hand.
"Yeah, we are", Misty spoke and she squeezed his hand, when she did Ash squeezed back and then asked May how she had done while still staring into Misty's sea green eyes.
"I managed to catch a powerful Pansear, but it looks like you caught something even better, Eh Ash", May replied back while smirking at the two of them, Misty just pulled out her hammer and that quickly wiped the smirk off May face, but Ash's reply to her just made Misty blush again.
"Yeah, I caught me a beautiful mermaid today"
Misty and May were speechless after Ash said something sweet to Misty. Misty smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek for it, they both blushed from it before Ash's Pokegear went off telling them that it was 12pm/Noon and that they should be going back to the Island since May had her Pokemon and it would be best for Misty to head back to the island to do her training, Ash clasped Misty's hand and May grabbed Misty's other hand as Ash was holding Togetic in his other, they disappeared in a flash of light leaving the Pinwheel Forest to become quiet once more.
Ash's Island/New Island
The four of them appeared in front of the house and were greeted to the sight of Dawn training her Cleffa and Eevee, by having them battle each other Cleffa had just used pound on Eevee who retaliated with Tackle, when Eevee hit Cleffa, she bounce back before standing up and starting to glow, her body became bigger, her arms became longer and her hands gained three fingers, her tail became much longer and larger and her ears became much more pointed, when the light disappeared there now was a Clefairy standing there and Clefairy instantly started to wave her hands and before long a powerful jet of water covered her and she hit Eevee, Clefairy had used Metronome and it became Aqua jet. Dawn stopped the battle after this and congratulated her Clefairy for evolving and learning Metronome, she told her two pokemon that this was it for their training today and to rest, she then turned and finally, noticed that Misty, May and Ash had returned and quickly spotted that Ash and Misty were holding hands still while May was off to the side, she quickly put two and two together and let out a happy cheer and hugged Misty, who told her that it was too much and to stop it, that was before May and Dawn dragged her away and into the house to have a long girl talk with her, Ash gulped as he knew that his Mother would want to know all about this and that Sonja would probably take this very hard, but he put that all to the back of his and called out for Lucario using his Aura, Lucario came quickly and Ash handed him the Luxury ball tell him that she had decided that she would come after a battle, which was the reason that Venusaur was called away from the Island, Lucario took the Pokeball and went to release the pokemon inside of it with the others, Ash then went inside to deal with what was mostl likely to happen and knew that this was just the price he had to pay to be with Misty and one that he would gladly pay.
