I apologize for this, but I had to rush the ending, I felt that the story had already achieved what I wanted it to achieve and it just dragged on afterwards, and I really hate goodbyes, I really suck at writing those.


Ashana

"Ashana..." Cynthia smiles. "That's a wonderful name."
"Yeah Anabel," Ash agrees. "I like it too."

"Thank you."

"Where'd you come up with that name anyway?"

Cynthia giggles a little, "You really have no idea do you Ash?"

"He never does," Anabel chuckles.

"Eevee!" the newborn cries.

"What is it Ashana?" Anabel asks with a smile on her face.

Eevee happily smiles too, with a strange cackling of electricity on her face.

"Huh? Aaaah!" Cynthia and Anabel were suddenly zapped by a jolt of electricity. "Puh..."

"Was that Thundershock?" Ash looks at the two charred girls.

"I don't think so," Cynthia answers. "It was just a lot of static electricity in her fur."

"Well I guess we all know who that came from," Ash stares at Pikachu.

Pikachu scratches his head embarrassingly, "Piiiikaaaa."

Espeon giggles.

"Aww," Yellow cries. "I want to hold it."

"Hehe," Red laughs a little. "I'm sure you do."

"What are they saying?" Bianca was trying to lean as far forward on her seat as possible.

"I think they're discussing about the new born Eevee," Melody answers.

"Haha," Ritchie laughs. "Of course, what else would they be doing?"

"But whose Eevee is it going to be?" Marlene asks.

"That's a good question," May replies. "Ash's Pikachu and Anabel's Espeon were the ones."

"I think it should be Anabel's," Bugsy tells them.

"Right," Winona agrees. "Ash already has a full team that he travels with, if he were to take it, he'd leave it at his hometown. Anabel however, lives in the Battle Tower, so she can stay with the young Eevee as long as she wants to."

"Can you hear them?" Dawn asks Lucian.

"They're too far away," the Elite Four answers. "We can talk to them again after we finish this battle. Flint! Volkner! Shall we continue?"

"Yeah!" Flint grasps the air. "Infernape! Mach Punch!"

"Block and attack with Psycho Cut!"

Gallade parries Infernape and strikes hard at the monkey's chin.

But Raichu sees an opening and Iron Tail's Gallade's gut.

"Counter with Leaf Blade!"

Gallade chops Raichu's head down to the ground.

"Now Flamethrower!"

"Stop it with Stone Edge!"

The flames and rocks stop each other from flying any further.

"Agility!"

Gallade runs beside the rocks and flames towards Infernape!

"Quick Attack!"

Raichu tackles the rushing Gallade.

"Now Flame Wheel!"

Infernape jumps above Raichu and spins into a burning wheel.

"Protect yourself Gallade!"

Gallade crosses his arms trying to block the wheel of flame. The Psychic fighter is being pushed back by the intensity of the fire and the power of the attack.

"Flamethrower! Point Blank!"

"Oh no!"

Infernape breaks out of Flame Wheel and blasts Gallade's face with a powerful Flamethrower. The Psychic is pushed back by the fire.

"We got him now!" Flint declares. "Mach Punch!"

"Quick Attack!" Volkner follows up. "There was no way he could fight the both of us!" Wait! Both of us? This is supposed to be a two on two battle! Where's Mamoswine?

The ground cracks up in between Gallade and the two attackers.

"No way!" Flint exclaimed, having remembered Dawn's Pokemon as well.

Mamoswine bursts out of the ground right underneath Infernape and Raichu, sending the two Pokemon flying.

"I'm surprised Dawn was able to hide a Pokemon that big," Conway observes.

"The distraction from the Egg hatching was what she needed to ready a surprise attack," Brock added.

"Not only that," Winona continues. "But Lucian's Gallade managed to weaken the two of them somewhat, meaning that attack will deal more damage."

"Now Mamoswine! Ice Shard!" Dawn orders.

The hairy giant Pokemon fires a ball of Ice energy at the small Electric type.

"Raiiii!"

"Raichu!" Volkner cries. "Oh no!" The Gym Leader observes that his Pokemon's tail is frozen to the ground."

"Mamoswine! Take Down!" Dawn hurriedly takes advantage of the situation.

"Not so fast! Infernape! Mach Punch!"

Infernape dashes between the charging Ice type and the small Electric type and flies towards the Ice type fist at the ready! The monkey rears back! It's punched in the face by Gallade's Psycho Cut!

"Infernape!"

Gallade jumps off of Mamoswine's face. The hairy Pokemon tackles Raichu hard!

"Raichu!"

"Infernape and Raichu are unable to battle, the winners are Dawn and Lucian!"

"YES!" Dawn jumped in joy as Lucian smiles while adjusting his glasses.

Flint just smiles, "That was one heated up battle."

"Yeah," Volkner agrees.

"Okay folks!" The announcer begins. "We'll be having a 30 minute break before our next battle because of an unexpected development. We apologize for any inconvenience."

Ash and Anabel play with the newborn Pokemon in the waiting room of the building. Pikachu and Espeon run around with Ashana gleefully. All of their friends start barging into the room and adore the baby Eevee. The baby seemed really happy, much to their shock, literally. Ash and Anabel giggle.

Yellow manages to pick up the young baby and cuddles her gently, "Hehehee." Her Chuchu, Red's Pika and Ritchie's Pikachu were all gathered around Ash's, as if to congratulate him.

"So," May jumps in front of Ash. "Did you give it a name?"

"Me? No," Ash points to Anabel. "Anabel was the one that named her."

"It's a girl?" Dawn's eyes glittered. "That makes her much more adorable!"

"Huh?" Ash tilts his head in confusion.

Conway adjusts his glasses, "Apparently a baby girl is much more 'adorable' than a baby boy. I don't know how that works though."

"I'd like to know what you called her," Ritchie says. "I was never good with girl names."

Anabel puts up a finger and smiles, "Ashana."

"Awww, that's so cuuuteee!" Lyra adored. "Come here Ashana..."

Melody walks towards Ash and Anabel, "Ashana. That's a wonderful name. And it fits too."

"It does?" Ash looks at Melody.

"You don't understand the meaning behind it?" Melody looks back in surprise.

"Meaning? I thought it was just because it sounded cute."

Melody slaps and shakes her head, "Ash, Ash, Ash..."

"Don't worry about it," Anabel giggles. "That's just the way he is."

"Huh?" Ash sounded even more confused than ever.

"AAAAHHHH!" Eevee had sent out another large jolt to everyone around her, it was mostly all the girls, but Janine was able to ninja away in time.

"With electricity like that," Volkner started. "She'd make a fine Jolteon."

"I would have to agree," Lucian says. "Especially since one of her parents is an electric type. And the mental strength from a Psychic type parent will prove to be an interesting combination."

"Yeah," Flint sighed. "I was hoping to convince you to turn it into a Flareon though, but they do make a very good point."

"I think it's still a little too early for me to decide what to evolve my Eevee," Anabel points out. "She just hatched after all."

"You have to admit though," Lucian tells her. "It's hard to see Ashana as anything other than a Jolteon now. Especially with that kind of static in her fur."

"But to evolve it into a Jolteon," Volkner starts. "You need a Thunder Stone, and evolutionary stones are hard to come by."

Anabel quickly remembered something and reached inside her pocket. She pulls out a Thunder Stone.

"Whoa," Flint stares. "Where'd you get that?"

"Right after I re-battled Ash," Anabel tells him. "We fell through a hole and found ourselves in a big tunnel under the ground."

"The Sinnoh Underground," Flint interrupts. "I've heard about that. You can find a lot of treasure down there, but evolutionary stones are rare. And to get a Thunder Stone almost right off the bat..."

"It's almost as if Destiny wants for them to be together," Melody states.

"Huh?" Ash and Anabel jumped slightly.

"Hahaha," Lucian laughs. "That's being too dramatic. I will admit that all these coincidences seem to be all too convenient."

"It's as if some is wanting for all this to happen," Conway adjusts his glasses.

Ash and Anabel look straight at you puzzled as you're reading this sentence.

"Now that's just ridiculous," Melody tells him. "Anyway, the next battle is you two against Red and Yellow right?"

"Right," Ash clenches his fist. "Are you ready Red?"

"Ha!" Red smiles. "You better be ready Ash. I'm not going to go easy on you."

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

"Hey Red!" Yellow runs up to him, still holding Ashana, yet some of her clothes look burnt. "Look how cute she is." Yellow holds up the Eevee, who smiles while static sizzles.

"Ahhh!" Red gets fried.

"Hahaha," Leo and Gaia walk up to Ash and Anabel. "Looks like you're all enjoying yourselves."

"Leo!" Ash calls.

"Gaia!" Anabel cries.

"Hey," Leo waves. "That was a great battle we had Anabel. I thought for sure we would win it until you pulled out all those surprising techniques on us."

"Hahaha," Anabel giggles. "I actually got that from him." She points at Ash.

"Is that right?" Gaia ponders. "I can see that you two are going to be a perfect match in the future."

"It won't be anytime soon," Anabel giggles as she turns to Ash. "I can wait, for as long as it takes." After all, it's like a part of him will always be with me now. She walks over to the young Eevee who jumps runs up to her shoulder.

"So how are they?" Lance asks Cynthia.

"The ice cream?" Cynthia takes another lick off of her cone.

"Ash and Anabel," Lance answers.

"They're doing great," Wallace tells him. "The waiting room is crowded with all of their friends though. But I'm certain that they're having fun."

"They really should," Riley walks in. "After all that's happened to them."

"A love story," Wallace suddenly says out loud. "If only I knew how to write a book."

"You've written a lot of books on Contests haven't you?" Lance asks in confusion.

"No no," Wallace answers. "That's different, what I'm talking about is an actual story, not a guide."

"I think Lucian is more fitted to do that," Cynthia replies. "We Champions and the E4 really don't do much when there's nothing going on."

"Haha," Wallace laughs. "Why don't you try participating in Contests then Cynthia? You look like you would do well if you tried it."

Cynthia licks her ice cream again, "I'll think about it. It may be fun though."

"And you Lance?"

"No thank you," Lance answers bluntly. "It's not my kind of thing."

"Alright everyone!" The announcer roars. "It's time to continue the tournament! Will Ash, Anabel, Red and Yellow please make their way to the arena."

"Yes!" Ash jumped. "I'm pumped and ready." Ash turns to his Pokemon partner. "You stay here Pikachu. You and Espeon should watch over your Eevee."

Anabel lets down Ashana between her parents. "Be a good girl now Ashana."

"Eeveeee!" the baby cries as Pikachu and Espeon cuddle it between themselves.

"Chuuu..." Chuchu yanks Yellow's leg.

"What is it Chuhu?" Yellow asks her Pokemon. "You want to hang out with Ashana?"

Chuchu nods happily.

"Alright," Yellow giggles "Go ahead."

"You too, Pika," Red tells his Pokemon partner.

"Pika!"

The two little rodents run around the stage and join up with Ash's Pikachu and Anabel's Espeon, playing with the baby Eevee.

"Ha," Red smiles happily. "This is going to be a lot of fun."

"Yeah," Ash nods, smiling too. "I can definitely feel a strong aura around you. That just excites me even more."

"I know what you mean," Red agrees.

"Is everyone ready?" The announcer yells. "Let the battle begin!"

Ash, Anabel, Red and Yellow all throw their respective Pokeballs to the field, releasing their Pokemon.
