The heat is killing my brain...let's see ash may or may not beable to be in the tournament but nonetheless I have to move onward to the tournament!

It was mid evening and ash was showing Misty and Hazzel his techniques.

"Maybe you should stop! It's never good to overtrain!" says Misty.

"You know me better then that!" says Ash blasting a tree with Destructive wind.

"But we've been out here all day! You've shown us enough tactics! Though I can't say where you'd end up in the tournament!" says Misty.

"Ya daddy!" says Hazzel.

"I guess you're right! Chichi must not be amused..." says Ash sweat dropping.

Misty sighed looking away sweat dropping.

"Plus we need to get back for dinner!" says Ash.

"You and your food lust!" says Misty annoyed.

Hazzel giggled.

"Like you ever cared!" huffs Ash.

Gohan appeared.

"You guys better get home before mom throws another fit and rambles on about you going back to your world soon and what not!" says gohan.

"I thought I had a new house!" says ash.

"We are still in highschool! How could we afford a house!?" says gohan.

"You know what I mean!" says Ash.

"I guess you do live with Bulma now but that's beside the point!" says gohan.

"Ok! Ok! I just got carried away with showing my techniques you guys taught me!" says ash.

"Dads about to show up! He will be stunned to see he has a son and there's new faces around!" says gohan.

"What's gotten into you?" wonders ash.

"You're not as cheery as usual!" says Misty.

"I'm not even sure if it is right for you two to be here anymore!" says gohan.

"So? After the tournament we will be a memory of the past or may not even seem like we were here at all!" says Ash.

"Ash your hopeless!" says gohan.

"What? Hazzel is part of this world! I can't just take her with me!" says ash.

"There's just to many things going on!" says gohan.

"You can say that again!" grumbles Misty.

"I just wanna focus on one thing at a time! If I keep thinking about leaving Hazzel it will only keep me from being in the tournament! Your dad is gonna be on earth again so it's all good! If all we do is worry we won't get anything done!" says Ash.

"But ash..." says gohan.

"Just stay happy! There's to much chaos as it is!" says Ash picking up Hazzel piggy back style.

"You don't understand!" says gohan.

"Course I do! Now let's get back for dinner!" says Ash running off.

Gohan and Misty sigh.

"Ash has a one track mind! You can never get anything through him!" says Misty.

Gohan and Misty follow.

Chichis house...

"But I could've sworn I lived with Bulma and trunks now!" says Ash.

"You wanna see my dad right? For all we know trunks could've broken the remote!" says gohan.

Ash glared at gohan.

"Either that or trunks is trapped in your realm!" says gohan.

Gohan opened the door to see no one home.

"Maybe mom said it was at Bulma's?" ponders gohan.

"I better go check on the remote!" says Ash and flew off still holding Hazzel.

"There are many things I wanted to tell him but I guess he will find out for himself!" says Gohan.

"Find out what?" wonders Misty.

"The remote to the portal is gone!" says gohan.

"So? We will find it!" says Misty.

"That's the thing..." says gohan.

Misty was confused.

Bulma's...

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN TRUNKS AND THE REMOTE ARE GONE!?" wonders ash.

"That's what I'm trying to figure out! Trunks must've snuck down, turned on the portal and went through with the remote!" says Bulma.

"Trunks is gonna be in the tournament he can't do this to us!" says Ash.

"Trunks is probably training with goten! There's no need to freak out!" says Bulma.

"If he is in one of the region of my world then we may b stuck here for good while trunks is stuck there!" says Ash.

"Now! Now! Let's not get upset over assuming!" says Bulma.

"If you had the remote who knows where you'd lose it!" says Bulma.

"Hazzel and I practically live here now!" says Ash.

"You're always checking on Misty and now she's back so you can focus on the tournament!" says Bulma.

"I was till gigs showed up with a worried expression!" says Ash.

"I guess anything could happen with you staying here now!" says Bulma.

"Isn't there another remote? Like a spare?" wonders Ash.

"I doubt it! I only made one!" says Bulma.

"Daddy! Bulma! Trunks is in the basement!" says Hazzel.

"He is!?" wonder ash and Bulma.

Hazzel nods. Ash and Bulma head downstairs.

"Hey mom! Ash and Hazzel!" says Trunks.

"Were you messing with the remote?" wonders Bulma.

"Just a little! Was that bad?" wonders Trunks.

"Why?" wonders Bulma.

"I kinda told Ash's friends that he was gonna be in the tournament and that he would let them come and watch! Hehehe..." says Trunks.

"Are you crazy!?" says Bulma taking the remote.

"I thought it be nice for ash to be with his friends during the tournament! I meant no harm!" says Trunks.

"Well atleast the remote isn't broken!" says Ash.

"That's the thing...a man, woman and a talking cat with a coin on its forehead almost took it off of me!" says Trunks.

"A man...woman...and a talking cat with a coin on its forehead...YOU MET TEAM ROCKET!?" say ash and Misty.

"Is that what they were called?" wonders Trunks.

"I'm better off keeping the remote! This world doesn't need more chaos!" says Ash annoyed.

"But I..." says Trunks.

"You can't keep touching things without asking!" says Ash.

"I was curious about Ash's friends..." says Trunks.

"The tournament is in 2 days...the last thing we need is another enemy!" says Ash.
