Chapter 13: Old Friends and Foe reunited

"Okay pidove use air cutter, and Growlie use flamethrower," commanded Gary and James

"Oshawott use scalchop to deflect air cutter, sandile use dig," said Ash

Gary, James and Ash are training their new pokemon.

"Iris and Jessie take three more rounds," said Ash

"Three more rounds! Ash, it's already thirty rounds I have taken," said Iris as she is panting heavily along with her pokemon.

"Yeah, I have been feeling like it's already a full day passed," said axew

"Guys this is just 0.001 per cent of training what I and my pokemon have done," said Ash

"Are you freakin kidding me Ash, just 0.001 per cent," asked James in shock with jaw dropped to the ground

"Yeah, I usually battle with my pokemon," said Ash

"No way Ash," said Gary in shock

"What you think I have been doing for past two years," asked Ash

"Hmm, that explains, you have put up so much body mass in such a short period of time," said Gary

"Okay we are resting and will resume our training tomorrow at sharp 4:00 in the morning then we will head towards the Straiton city gym. Guys make sure to have a good nutritious diet in the night," said Ash

" And speaking about dinner I am feeling hungry," said Ash

"We are near Accumula town, let's head towards there and have a great dinner, I will pay for it," said Ash

"So how should we go to Accumula town, there is a battle club, we can train our pokemon there," said Max

"We could fly on a pokemon, I have metagross and salamence," said Max

"And I have togekiss," said Dawn

"Well, that's great," said May

"And, if we go at good speed, we can cover the distance in three to four hours," said Max

"Can't we ask Gallade to teleport us there," said May

"Well, we can but he may lose his 80% of energy in teleportation," said Max

"Mewtwo bring them in the clearing, while I will be sending our pokemon friends out of their Pokeball," said Ash to which he nodded

In the clearing, all of Ash's pokemon are present there

"Guys you can do whatever you want except oshowatt and sandile you will be doing some light training," said Ash

"Oshawott I want you to work on your endurance, and zero give oshowatt a 0.0001 per cent intensity electric shock, and sandile you improve your dig attack by reducing the big time," said Ash to which he nodded

"Ash we want to battle," said all of his pokemon looking at Ash with furious eyes

"Well, I don't want to kill any pokemon accident," said Ash

"Come on, we have trained hard to decimate any opponent, and we can adjust our power level for god sake," said Mew while giving a pout

"Ok, I will let all of your battles," said Ash on defeated tone as all of his pokemon hugged him

"Ash they all are here," said Mewtwo

"Good, " said Ash

"Ok, commandos, from today onwards it marks beginning of your training, which not only includes understanding your pokemon, but it also includes having awareness about your surrounding, analysing opponent and his or her pokemon, analysing your battlefield, taking advantage of your field, turning disadvantage to your advantage, quick thinking, proper exercise, team building, aura training, meditation, teaching your pokemon multiple moves and many more," said Ash

"And training in the harsh environment too," said Ash

"Ash Ketchum stop treating us like a military commando in training, we are not in FBI, CBI and intelligence beauro, neither we are in the defence sector," said Iris in frustration

"Iris, this is for your own good, you need to be strong enough to protect yourself and your pokemon from evil teams and people," said Ash

"Yes, you had to see how Ash has defeated team plasma," said Gary

After training for full six hours Ash, his friends and pokemon are now done with breakfast and Ash's Type:Null evolved into Silvaly and then Ash said "That was amazing, what you say zeraora"

"That was amazing Ash, we are happy to train and eat like this," said Braviary

"Now everyone gets inside your Pokeball," said Ash

"Ash, I want to battle legendary pokemon," said Entei

"Well I think I have to find someone with ownership of legendary pokemon," said Ash

"So guys pack your bag and let's check out the battle club of this town," said Ash

"Yes, I want to battle there too," said James

"Pikachu, what you say, who should battle in the battle club," said Ash

"Well oshowatt and sandile are for sure, and then any four of other pokemon," said Pikachu

xxx Twenty minutes later xxx

Ash and his friends are now near the battle club and then he hears a voice.

"I am coming, I am coming please give me aside, look out, out of the way," said a voice and then it bumped into someone sending it flying straight for the water fountain.

"Who done this to me, I will fine you," said a voice

"I am sorry, I am sorry," said a voice

"You have one minute to pay the fine," said a voice

"Hey I know who is this," said Ash

"Hey, Bianca what happened to you," asked Ash

"Sorry, I was in hurry and I send him to fly in this water fountain," said Bianca

"I will fine you," said a voice

"Hey Barry you haven't changed at all, same like in Sinnoh region," said Ash

"Do I know you," asked Barry

"Oh come on, like to how many people I have to say that I am Ash that they had met years ago," said Ash

"No way, you can't be Ash," said Barry

"You both know each other," asked Iris

"Yes, we were rivals in Sinnoh region and his dad is Sinnoh frontier brain," said Ash

"So, battle frontier brings you here," asked Ash to which he nodded

"You have grown so much Ash," said Barry

"Yes and my pokemon too," said Ash

"Hello Pikachu," said Barry to which he replied happily

"Barry how many times I have to say stop being in a hurry," said a new voice from behind Barry

"Paul," said Ash

"Ash Ketchum," said Paul as another guy heard the name

"Ketchum you are here," thought a boy

"Long time no see, and I must say you have trained hard," said Paul with a smile

"Pikachu, shock me," said Ash

"What, " asked Pikachu

"yes, Paul is smiling upon seeing me, I must be dreaming," said Ash

"This is not a dream Ash, Paul has changed and you bring the change in him, " said Barry

"So, want to see infernape," asked Ash to which he said

"Yes, I want to ask for forgiveness from him, just one time," said Paul

"Ash you know them," asked Bianca

"Yes they are my Sinnoh rivals, and Paul and Barry this time I want a good competition from you," said Ash

xx Some minutes later xx

"Infernape, Paul has to say something to you," said Ash

"Infernape," said Paul as Infernape looked at Ash

"He is changed, I must be dreaming," said Infernape

"Listen I, I regret the way I treated you back in Sinnoh, just for my own greed and lust for power I mistreated you, hurt you, and brought you at brink of death, listen I don't know if you will forgive me ever but trust me I am not the same Paul anymore, you see I have a little chimchar right now, saved from wild zangoos, " said Paul as tears started to fall from his eyes.

"Please I ask for your forgiveness," said Paul as he falls on his knees crying hard

All people are looking at him, even Barry and Bianca with sadden face

"Oh, come on, " said infernape as he launched weak flamethrower at Paul's face

"What was that for," asked Paul

"Paul, infernape forgave you a long time ago, its just he wants you to accept the fact," said Ash as infernape hugged paul back.

"Thanks and Ketchum let's have a battle in the battle club like before," said Paul in happiness as he brought his hand forward to shake

"Ash battle me too," said Barry

"And me," said Bianca

"well well well, Ash Ketchum, nice to see you again," said a voice and when Ash looked at the source of the voice his expression changed from happy to angry

"Damien what are you doing here," asked Ash

"Well, taking part in Unova league, I have powerful Charizard now, so you still had that Charmander, or is he dead," asked Damien

"who is this Ash," asked Paul

"Your Kanto version but you are far better than him, he abandoned his Charmander just because he lost in the battle," said Ash making paul filled with the guilt.

"Paul don't be guilty, forget the past and focus on the present," said Ash

"So Chimchar is not the only one," asked Paul to which he nodded

"I will find you to left a pokemon to die," said Barry in anger

Damien then takes a Pokeball and released his black Charizard.

"So let me get it straight, you find a powerful black Charizard in the wild and you captured it," said Ash to which he nodded

"You have gotten smart Ash, yes I found him in the wild, then I captured him," said Damien

"Hey May what's going on there," asked Max

"Wait that's Paul and Barry," said Dawn and who is with them

"That's Gary, and what team rocket is doing with them," said Max

"And who are the two guys there," asked Dawn

"Wait if that is Gary, then it means," said Dawn in the realisation

"No way May and Max, that's Ash Ketchum," said Dawn making both of them look at Ash in shock

"What, he is six feet tall and has a good physique, he can't be that Ash we all know," said Max

"Let's see," said the girls as they started to run towards the group

"Hey wait! I am coming" said Max

"Damien no matter how strong your Charizard is or how rare it is, if you cannot have a bond with your pokemon then you can't win, " said Ash

"Nonsense, I can defeat you without even trying," said Damien as he commanded Charizard to launch a flamethrower.

Ash was standing still until flamethrower came near him. Ash then used his psychic and aura abilities and control that flamethrower to send it at Damien. This made Paul, Bianca, Barry and other people shocked.

"No !" screamed Damien as Charizard stopped his attack and take a hit of its own flamethrower

"You all stop battling on the streets, come with me in my battle club," said the person appeared out of nowhere.

"May let's go and see if he is really Ash," said Max

xxx Inside Accumula Town Battle Club xxx

"This is my battle club, spread across the Unova region, running by my family line," said Don George

"You can battle, train your pokemon with state of the art battle facilities, the membership fee for the entire year is just $1000 which is applicable to all battle facilities," said Don George

"Here is my credit card, please I want your membership," said Ash as he gave him his credit card

"Very well, " said Don George

"Now about this facility we have a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a battle arena, a library, a cafeteria and training area," said Don George making all of them go mad about the battle club.

"Wow that is so exciting," said Barry, Iris and Bianca in enthusiasm

"Hey Gary, Paul and Barry," said Dawn, Max and May

"Huh, Dawn," said Sinnoh native

"May and Max," said Gary in surprise

"Surprised to see us here," asked May

"And is he Ash," asked Max

"You got it, correct guys, I am the one and only Ash Ketchum," said Ash

"Wow you have grown Ash, and look at those muscles," said Dawn as she inspected Ash from every angle.

"Pikachu, you have grown up too," said Max

"Pika pika pi," said Pikachu as he jumped on Max's shoulder

"And heavy too," said Max

"Paul is great to see you again," said Dawn

"Hi Dawn, " said Paul

"Wait, you are so polite, have you got bitten by some alien," asked Dawn

"He is changed Dawn," said Barry

"Good to hear Paul," said Dawn happily at which Paul smiled

"Hi Pikachu," said May to which he nuzzled her leg

"Are we gonna battle or what?" asked Damien

"This is a one on one battle between Damien and Ask Ketchum from Kanto region," said Don George

"Go Charizard destroy them up," said Damien as his black Charizard emerged from Pokeball

"Now meet him," said Ash releasing the Charizard of his. Charizard emerged from inside the Pokeball with sheer power sending shock waves around him.

Ash's Charizard is muscular and is towering a foot above Damien's Charizard.

"Where is Charmander, left to die somewhere else," asked Damien

"Charizard, meet Damien, " said Ash as Charizard become furious.

"Damien this is the same Charizard," said Ash

"Wow, Ash's Charizard is looking strong," said Max

"why he hadn't used him before," said Paul

Damien's Charizard gulped as Ash's Charizard looked at him with anger.

"Wow you are strong, my trainer didn't tell me I had to fight you," said Charizard

"Well he thought that he would be battling the Charmander that he abandoned years ago," said Ash's Charizard

"He abandoned what," asked Damien's Charizard

"Abandoned me as a Charmander, then Ash took me in and trained me," said Charizard

"Let the battle begin," said Don George

"Charizard one minute, finish it in a minute," said Ash

"One minute but how it can possible," said Paul

Charizard went up straight above the Damien's Charizard in the air with amazing speed and his wing started to glow, then he covered himself with wings and surrounded by fire and then descends towards the Charizard and started spinning while descending he added Giga impact to it increasing the destructive power.

"Charizard grab him," said Damien as Charizard collided with Damien's Charizard

Damien's Charizard tried to stop but the sheer power of Charizard made him surrender and finally knocked out. And it hardly took one minute.

Charizard then landed in front of Ash with a smirk on its face.

"Oh man, Ash really become strong," said Barry

"How could that happen," asked Damien

"Training Damien," said Ash as he recalled charizard back him back

All the trainers that are present there looking at Ash in awe. Iris is shocked.

"I am leaving Ash ketchum, but believe me I will be meet you in the league." said Damien as he exit the club taking his charizard along with him.

"I am next Ash," said Barry

"This will be a one on one battle between Barry from Sinnoh region and Ash Ketchum from Kanto," said Don George

"Ash this is my strongest pokemon, steelix go" said Barry releasing steelix

"Let's go my friend" said Ash as he released his Silvally.

"So my turn arrives huh," said Silvally

"What's that pokemon," said Paul

"That's Silvally a legendary normal type fron Alola region, well he has a baclstory which you wouldn't like to hear, a devastating one to be precise," said Gary

"But Ash treat them like normal pokemon," said Gary

"Silvally this is your first battle, so let's go easy on him, " said Ash

"Ok Ash but can you give me my fire memory," asked Silvally

"Oh yeah," said Ash as he takes a disc from his bag and sends it towards the Silvally which loaded into the disc reader present in the circular object placed at the side of his head after which he glowed a fiery red.

"Ash has some new pokemon," thought Barry

"Let the battle begin," said Don George

"Steelix start with hyper voice," said Barry

"Silvally, use fire spin on steelix and then use flame pulse," said Ash

"Flame pulse, what's that," asked Dawn

"Don't know," said Gary

As Steelix opened his mouth to release the ear-splitting noise, Silvally released the high-intensity flames at steelix engulfing him in the fire, whose heat can be felt near the stands where Ash's friends are watching the battle.

Steelix can be heard crying, loud scream of steelix suffering from the attack.

Silvally then prepared the orb of fire and launched at steelix which collided with him sending steelix colliding with the wall making him knock out instantly.

"No way, I can't be defeated like this," said Barry in shock and Paul gulped.

"Ash Ketchum is the winner," said Don George

"Silvally nice work buddy, your training paid off," said Ash happily as he petted Silvally. Both were zoned out as they hugged each other, Silvally licked him.

"You have trained your pokemon amazingly Ash, I must say your pokemon are well trained," said Don George

"Well, they worked hard," said Ash as he rubbed the head of silvally and he really likes the attention.

"Now let me take the memory disk back," said Ash as disc ejected from the reader and then Ash placed it back in the case making silvally back to normal type.

"Hey Bianca, want to battle next," said Ash

"Yes, and Me too," said Max and Bianca

"Ok I will take you both at the same time, silvally return biddy you have done a nice job," said Ash

"Ok," said both of them

"Trainers send out your pokemon," said Don George as both picks a Pokeball each

"Man Ash is stronger than before, he is at a legendary level," said Barry as he moved back to stands.

"Yes, but I think this can't happen in two years," said May making them suspicious.

"Sceptile, Tepig go," said both of them

"Ok then, Oshawott, Muk onto the battlefield," said Ash releasing his two pokemon.

"Let the battle begin," said Don George.

"Sceptile start with the bullet seed," said Max

"Tepig use flame thrower, " said Bianca

"Oshawott use water gun, muk use flamethrower to burn the seed and use acid rain on them," said Ash

All pokemon retaliate with their attack, sceptile's bullet seed burned in the flamethrower and sceptile dodge it in a blink of an eye, while oshawott and tepig launched their attack but then all of sudden the alarm of the club started to create a noise

To be continued...
