Chapter 11: Realizing her dream!
January 18, 2014 - (Lagoon Town) (Park) (10:00 AM)
A new year has now came by with Ash and the gang with the start of 2014! To start off the year, Ash battled Korrina and has beaten the crap out of Korrina's Pokemon and even her boyfriend Lucario. Korrina was proud of Ash even for defeating someone's boyfriend who is a Pokemon and gave Ash a new badge! Now the group are at a park relaxing. Ash is on his 3DS playing a new game that he got for Christmas being Mario Party: Island Tour. The girls are petting Serena's Fennekin until it becomes the shiniest Pokemon out in the wild. Chespin also wants to get brushed as well.
"Where is she? I sent her a text." Serena asking herself.
"Hey, Serena! Sorry for being so late!" Shauna called out.
"Shauna! Nice to see you again! It's nice looking at a BFF relationship like y'all. Unlike you and Serena, She and I have a KFF friendship!" Ash said.
"Wait. What is KFF?" Shauna asked.
"KFF stands for Kanto Friends Forever since Ash has saved me from injury when we were 7." Serena said.
"Aw! How romantic!" Shauna said.
Both Ash and Serena look at each other blushing with red strands on their face.
"So...Shauna, how have you been?" Ash asked trying to get himself unembarrassed from what Shauna said.
"It has been a few weeks since winter camp!" Clemont said.
"It sure has been! It's nice you all again!" Shauna said.
"So Shauna, what did you want to show us?" Serena asked.
"Get this! Kalos Queen Aria is doing a performance at the Pokemon Showcase right here at Lagoon Town and so I asked of y'all if you want to come with me?" Shauna asked.
"Really? That's awesome!" Ash said.
"I love her videos!" Bonnie said.
"I can't wait to see her!" Serena said.
Lagoon City Pokemon Showcase (11:00 AM)
"I can't wait to see how a Pokemon Performance works!" Clemont said.
"Dedenne, let's watch together!" Bonnie said.
"Bonjour, my Pokemon lovers and welcome!" The host said.
Backstage, a Pokemon sneaks in. Who is it?
"I'm your host, Monsieur Pierre. Prepare yourselves for anything magnifique! Now for the Lagoon Town Pokemon Showcase...it will amaze you all. Starting things off is the rookie class. But first, the Kalos Queen herself Aria has put on exquisite performance herself!" Pierre said.
The performance starts out with Aria's newly evolved Braixen. Ash scans Braixen with his Pokedex.
"Braxien, the fox Pokemon and the evolved form of Fennekin. It has a twig stuck in its tail. With friction from its tail fur, it sets the twig on fire and launches into battle." The Pokedex said.
"Use Fire Spin!" Aria commanded.
"And making her entrance, the oh-so beautiful Kalos Queen, Mademoiselle Aria!" Pierre announced.
"Oh my gosh, that's her!" Serena said.
Shauna on the other hand is fangirling over.
The performance was a fiery one! Both Braixen and Aria are tossing her fire stick to each other and ending things off with a Fire Blast. The crowd goes wild on the performance.
"And say merci to our beautiful Mademoiselle Aria and her beloved Braixen!" Pierre said.
The curtain shuts down on Aria with the place being very dark. Meanwhile, the earlier mentioned Pokemon sneaks behind backstage and peeks over the performers. The first performance girl comes up with her Furfrou and Furfrou does hoop tricks.
"Remember? It's like i said a few weeks ago at camp, The showcase is made up of 2 competitions. If you're excellent on the Theme Performance, you move on to the Freestyle performance." Shauna said.
"So it's like a decider that is, if you're good enough." Serena said.
"Furfrou, Double Team!" The performer said.
Multiple Furfrou goes over the hoop while the performer hula hoops. A Pancham comes out of nowhere on the stage having to breakdance on the floor. The Pancham has crashed the competition. Hanging on a stoplight having to drop onto the floor.
"Hey! A show is going on!" Security said. Pancham attacks Security and heads it way out.
(11:20 AM)
"It sucks that the show ended early, but at least we got to see Aria perform. I really like the partnership between she and her Braixen. I always thought it's so tangible." Shauna said.
"Yeah, they're really awesome!" Both Ash and Serena said in unison before giggling at each other.
"Her flaming twig is really astounding." Clemont said.
"I'm glad we all saw her! Me and Bulby have some interesting ideas for our own performances." Shauna said. (Bulby is Shauna's name for Bulbasaur)
"Wait, you're actually going to participate in this?" Serena asked.
"Yep. But we still have a long way to go on by. Well, I'm going home now. Please keep in touch with me on the phone, Serena." Shauna said.
"I will. Bye, Shauna. Thanks for inviting us!" Serena said.
"She's really now stepping up her game." Serena continued.
Chespin starts imitating Braixen as he is in love with the performance until he gets hit with a stick. From above, the Pancham from before makes his appearance again.
"Wait, that couldn't be..." Bonnie said.
"Is that the same Pancham that crashed the show earlier?" Clemont asked.
The Pancham runs off into the woods with Chespin chasing it. The group goes after Chespin for running off.
5 minutes later...
"Guys, please don't run so fast on the track!" Clemont said.
The group sees a literal fork in the road.
"Okay, Boys and Bonnie go down the left path. I'll take the right." Serena said.
"Gotcha!" Ash said.
Ash runs down the path looking for Chespin. Out of nowhere, he hears rustling and jumping out is the Pancham which it steals both Ash's hat and his 3DS".
"Ah! My hat and 3DS! Give that back! I'm not done with Mario!" Ash said.
Meanwhile the siblings run down and lurking in the shadows, the Pancham pops out and jumps onto Clemont stealing his glasses.
"My glasses! I can't see a thing without them! It's all a blur!" Clemont said. He then bumps into a giant rock.
"Oh crap! I'm so sorry! I'm humbly sorry!" Clemont said bowing.
"Uh...Clemont? That's a rock you just bumped into." Bonnie said.
Meanwhile...
"Pancham, Where are you?" Serena called out.
Fennekin comes out of the bushes looking at Serena.
"No luck, huh?" Serena said.
Then they both heard something. They run over to a nearby and peeked behind a tree to find Pancham wearing Ash's hat and Clemont's glasses and playing on Ash's 3DS.
"Wait, is that..? What's Pancham up to? Wait! I see! Pancham really likes to perform!" Serena realizes.
Serena then runs over to Pancham but it starts running away to a hidey cave.
"Hold on! I just want to talk to you!" Serena said. She then sees some stuff in which is things that Pancham steals.
"Pancham, did you take all of these for performances?" Serena asked.
Pancham nodded away.
"Pancham, you shouldn't steal things. But if you stop stealing, I'll give you this to wear." Serena said holding out a pair of her red sunglasses. Pancham then snatches the sunglasses.
"Wow! You look great with them!" Serena said.
Pancham throws out the sunglasses and runs away again.
"Hey! I'm not done talking to you!" Serena said.
Back to the siblings...
"Where the heck could have Pancham gone?" Bonnie questioned.
"Over there?" Bonnie questioned. She then runs off.
"Huh, wait up! I can't even see!" Clemont said.
The siblings then encountered Chespin.
"Chespin? There you are!" Bonnie said.
"That's really Chespin?" Clemont asked.
"So where's Pancham? Brother, you need a chill pill." Bonnie said.
"But my glasses! Without them, I'm just going to get hurt by something." Clemont said.
"Hey, Clemont and Bonnie!" Ash called out running up to the siblings.
"Ash, is that you?" Clemont asked.
"Clemont, what happened to your glasses?" Ash asked.
"Pancham stole them." Clemont said.
"Pancham has been doing a lot lately..." Ash said.
"Wait, it caught you too?" Bonnie asked.
"I want my glasses back! Or else for the rest of my life, I'll be the only person in the world to talk to rocks and trees and people will find me as an idiot!" Clemont said.
"Relax and just calm down." Ash said.
(12:00 PM)
Down on the open ground, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie finds Pancham sleeping.
"There it is!" Bonnie said.
"Pancham is down there sleeping without one freaking care in the world." Ash said.
Chespin wakes the Pancham with Ash stepping his foot on the ground.
"You're not running away this time, buddy! Give me back my hat and 3DS!" Ash said.
"Yeah and my glasses too!" Clemont said.
Just then...
"Guys! Hold on a second!" Serena called out.
"Serena?" Ash said.
"Move out of the way! I want to catch that Pancham!" Serena said.
"Wait, what?" Ash said in surprise.
"You heard me, I need to catch it." Serena said.
"Why would need to catch it?" Bonnie asked.
"Because when i found Pancham near its home, i discovered that it likes to perform." Serena said.
"It likes to perform?" Ash wondered.
"Oh, by the way. I got your glasses, hat and 3DS back." Serena said.
"Thank you!" both Ash and Clemont said reclaiming their things.
"How did you find them?" Ash asked.
"Well, I found Pancham lurking within a small cave having possession of these things using them for props for a performance. I see why it crashed at the performance earlier today. Pancham just wanted to show what a good performance is to everyone." Serena explained.
"Cha?" (Woah.) Pancham said.
"Pancham, is this true?" Ash asked.
"Cham!" (I guess.) Pancham said.
"You also have the most adorable smile too. Is that right? Is it?" Serena asked. She also thought "Other than Ash's."
Pancham starts to walk away from Serena before she says "Wait, hold on! I realize what I want to do now! I want to become a Pokemon Performer like Aria with Pancham as my partner."
"Awesome! You found your dream!" Ash said.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea!" Clemont said.
"Yay! I'm all for it!" Bonnie said.
"Okay. Pancham? I would like to catch you." Serena said approaching Pancham.
"Cha?" (Really?) Pancham said.
"Fennekin, we're going to battle Pancham." Serena said.
"Fennekin!" (Alright!) Fennekin said.
"Pancham!" (Awesome!) Pancham said.
(12:30 PM)
Serena is starting up her battle with Pancham. "You can do it, Serena!" Bonnie cheered.
"Thanks. Now Fennekin, use Scratch!" Serena commanded.
Fennekin is about to attack Pancham when a trap box is thrown up in the air with a electric cage coming down on Fennekin. The group is surprised of what happened. Serena starts to run over to Fennekin with the electric cage being pulled by none other than Team Rocket themselves.
"Team Rocket! Give Fennekin back!" Ash said.
"So you want to become a fancy performer like Aria?" Jessie said.
"Yeah. Why? You got some crappy problem with that?" Serena said.
"Well, Jessie has a huge problem with that." James said.
"That I don't have a care about." Meowth said.
"To become a performer, one needs to be very beautiful. Dressed in some sort of princess outfit. My beautiful self will glow in the spotlight with a Braxien. Aria doesn't hold a candle to sparkle me!" Jessie said.
"What the heck did you just say?" Serena said.
"What I mean is, Fennekin's where it should be. I'll make sure it evolves into a beautiful Braixen. Toodle-oo!" Jessie said.
"You just can't steal Fennekin." Serena said.
"Fletchinder, come on out! Use Razor Leaf!" Ash commanded.
Flecthinder's razor wings was able to cut the hot air balloon letting all the air out making Team Rocket to fall down.
"Great job, Fletchinder!" Ash said.
"Fennekin!" Serena called.
Pancham did a ground attack which Team Rocket dodges.
"Why is the Pancham helping the twerps?" James asked.
"Never mind that!" Jessie said.
"Pancham! Cham! Cham!" (You're interrupting our battle! She's trying to catch me!) Pancham said.
"He said that we're interrupting the battle." Meowth translated.
"Well, tough luck! Interrupting is our thing!" Jessie said.
James and Jessie lets out Pumkaboo and Inkay.
"Psybeam, go!" James commanded.
Pancham dodges the attack.
"Pumpkaboo, Shadow Ball!" Jessie commanded.
Pancham in return does a shadow wave which causes a big explosion between the two.
"Amazing!" Ash said.
"Pancham's so interesting." Bonnie said.
"Pikachu, let's get Fennekin back!" Ash said.
"Pancham! Pan!" (Leave my friends alone!) Pancham said.
"Let's help out too! Chespin, Pin Missile!" Clemont commanded.
Chespin attacks Pumpkaboo while Dedenne, Pikachu and Pancham tries to get Fennekin out. Jessie looks over to them.
"You really bore me with your twerpy twerpness. Pumpkaboo, Shadow Ball." Jessie said.
"No, you don't, you jerks!" Serena said. She then tackles Pumpkaboo.
"Serena!" Ash said. "The things my future babe would do..." Ash thought.
"I'll be okay! Just save Fennekin for me!" Serena said.
"How dare you tackle my Pumpkaboo like it's a volleyball! If you want games to play, then we'll give you games to play. Time for Leech Seed." Jessie said.
"Leave Serena alone...Leave Serena alone! Leave her alone!" Ash thought.
Both Pikachu and Pancham were able to get Fennekin out. Pancham throws a shadow attack on Pumpkaboo.
"Pumpkaboo!" Jessie said.
"Pancham, thank you!" Serena said.
"Two moves Too many! Time for Revengeful Payback!" Jessie said.
"Let's literally wrap things up! Vine Whip!" Clemont commanded.
Chespin attacks both Pumpkaboo and Inkay causing them to tumble over to Meowth then Team Rocket.
"All right, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.
Pikachu strikes at Team Rocket causing to blast off once again.
"Fennekin!" (Serena!) Fennekin said.
"I'm so glad you're alright! Thanks Pancham. You really helped us out alright. So now we can get back making you my Pokemon?" Serena asked.
"Pancham!" (Let's do it then!) Pancham said.
(6:00 PM)
It was now sunset. Serena is now ready to catch Pancham.
"Cham! Cham!" (I'm ready, Serena!) Pancham said.
"All right, Fennekin, you ready?" Serena asked.
"Fenn!" (Yes.) Fennekin said.
Pancham starts out with his shadow attack in which Fennekin dodges it.
"Use Flamethrower!" Serena commanded.
Pancham however, dodges the attack. He then punches Fennekin pushing her back.
"Flamethrower again!" Serena commanded.
Pancham once again dodges Fennekin's fire and tries to punch Fennekin again to which Fennekin again dodges.
"Use Hidden Power!" Serena commanded.
Fennekin attacks Pancham with a direct hit.
"Serena, use the Poke Ball now!" Ash said.
"Got it, Ash. Let's go, Poke Ball!" Serena said.
Serena throws the Poke Ball at Pancham but Pancham escapes.
"Pancham!" (Come on, you can do better, Serena!) Pancham said.
"Don't give up until the end!" Ash said.
"Use Flamethrower!" Serena commanded.
Fennekin fires at Pancham. "Use Hidden Power." Serena commanded.
Fennekin attacks at Pancham again causing it to fall over.
"Try again, Serena!" Ash said.
"Pancham, I want us to become partners in performing. I want you to come with me on this journey!" Serena said as she throws the Pokeball again.
The Pokeball moves around for a moment until it was confirmed that Pancham has been indeed caught.
"I have now begun the next phase of my brand new journey because i now have a Pancham! Thank you, Fennekin!" Serena said.
"Nice job, Serena." Ash said.
"That was your first time catching a Pokemon!" Clemont said.
"Thanks. I will now try my best to follow into the path of Aria as the best Pokemon Performer I can be. And sometime, I'll become the Kalos Queen." Serena said.
Pancham comes out of the Pokeball. "Pancham, Fennekin, will you help me making my dream alive?" Serena asked".
"Pancham!" (Yes, I will!) Pancham said.
"Fenn!" (I'll do my best!) Fennekin said.
"Awesome! I can't wait to see you become a Pokemon Performer!" Bonnie said.
"It's a goal and I think you have found your achievement to perfect on." Clemont said.
"That's for sure. I'm working hard to make my way to my goal too." Ash said. "I'm sure you'll be the most beautiful performer in Kalos, baby!" Ash also thought.
"My goal is become an awesome inventor in aid for all pokemon!" Clemont said.
"You're so lucky! I only have 2 years until become a trainer." Bonnie said.
"We're all on the road together to make our dreams come true. Let's move on forward!" Ash said.
"Pancham, Fennekin, let's make our mark!" Serena said.
The group runs out into the sunset being excited of what their journey has in store next. That, and for the rest of 2014. Their year has just begun.
