I have a good news and a bad news.

Bad news: I'm done writing fanfictions. I don't know if I'll have time in the future to write stories anymore but I really like writing. That's why I won't write anymore.

Good news: I'll finish the story. I can't quit fanfiction without giving you the end of this story, besides I have it on my notes for the story. But I will write big sum ups and when it's necessary, battles and conversations.

It doesn't mean I'm done reading fanfictions.

Without further ado, a new chapter of this adventure.

Chapter 26

The dinner went pretty fast since they were hungry after this long day and nobody noticed the big smile that was on Delia's face due to her meeting with Team Plasma's boss. After the dinner, Logan, Lindy and Delia completed their training and the gang went to sleep.
The next day, they went to the Gym to challenge Elesa. As soon as they arrived, Jasmine was so excited to see the Gym Leader Elesa since she was a famous model. Logan, Lindy and Delia noticed the crowd that was around them, which was unusual. Elesa reminded them that Gym Leaders build their Gyms as they please and she loved being with a crowd because it reminded her of the fashion show. As usual, Delia was the first challenger. She defeated the Leader with Helioptile, Skiddo and Eevee. Then, Logan was victorious by using Grotle, Shelgon and Larvitar. During the battle, Larvitar evolved into Pupitar. Finally, Lindy used Accelgor, Froakie and Lucario to defeat Elesa. The latter used Emolga, Joltik and Zebstrika.

While they were about to leave the Gym, Elesa surprised the group by asking Jasmine to challenge her. Jasmine was surprised because she never battled for a badge and hesitated. But her boyfriend told her that she was used to the crows and that this kind of offer was rare from a Gym Leader. She accepted and used Mawile, Stoutland and Frillish but was defeated after a tough game. Her friends cheered her up but didn't feel so bad because she was happy that she had caused trouble to a Gym Leader for her first Gym match. After the Gym Leader, the group contacted Ash's group for a meeting the next day at the amusement park.
The next day, the two groups reunited again for a day at the amusement park. Jasmine was touched by the feeling of Serena towards Ash and wanted them to have a proper date and possibly becoming boyfriend and girlfriend. She tried everything so Ash and Serena could stay together. Meanwhile, Logan, Lindy and Garrett were challenging each other at various games. Delia was trying the roller coaster and after it was finished, she caught sight of the Leader of Team Plasma.
"You again at the same city." N saluted.

"Well, I'm with my friends for one more day here." Delia said. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here with Ghetsis to see the liberation of Pokémons. Mind if we ride the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel?" He asked.

"I'm intrigued but I can't say no to these beautiful green eyes." Delia answered and giggled a little.

When they arrived at the Wheel, they took a seat and were high enough to see the park. Although, Delia could see her friends battling Team Plasma's grunts.

"What are your plans here?" Delia asked, worried. "Why do your grunts attack my friends?"

"They have to." N replied. "We already talked about all of this before. You're part of the people we brought in to help us save the Pokémon. So, you're under my protection, as well. Maybe not today, but I hope someday you will understand what I've been trying to tell you."
"The thing is, I think I've understood." Delia added. "But harming people is not the best solution. You're their leader. Why don't you stop them?"
"Ghetsis said he's in charge until I'm mature enough to be a leader." N explained. By looking at the ground, he realized his grunts were again defeated. "You're quite strong. But I have a future that I must change. And, for that future... I'll defeat the best trainer of Unova and become unbeatable, unlike any other! I'll make all Trainers free their Pokémon! Just try and stop me! If you want to be together with Pokémon, your only hope is to collect the Badges from each area and head for the Pokémon League! If your conviction is not strong enough, you will never be able to defeat me. I hope I'll see you again, Delia."
"Me too." Delia said.

"Before I leave you, Ryan salutes you."

The Wheel finished his tour and Delia and N left it. They went to their own paths. When Delia found her friends, she explained her two meetings with the leader of Team Plasma and explained the plans. Her friends noticed her big smile but also some worries in her eyes at the same. Serena concluded that Delia was as attracted to N as frightened by him. Delia couldn't disagree and her friends warned her about that kind of love interest. When Delia mentioned Ryan, they were astonished and Lindy was worried but her friend couldn't tell her more. They went to heal their Pokémon.
The next day, the two groups shared the road again towards Route 5. Before they took the Driftveil Drawbridge, they took a break and decided to rest. They all went to sleep but Garrett who wanted to full his bottle. Although on the way to the river, he dropped in a hole and fell in a cave. There was a man standing in front of Garrett and gave him some water. He then announced to the hero that his name was Theon and that they were in the Dream world and can see his dreams and even better have harbingers on anyone he knows. Garrett immediately thought about Ryan and decided to have harbingers about Ryan. Theon warned him that once he sees the harbingers, there was nothing he could do to avoid it and that he couldn't tell anyone about it.

When Garrett said he understood, he looked at the mere inside the cave and saw Ryan who left Virbank City and was captured by a grunt of Team Plasma. The grunt took him to the P2 laboratory, a laboratory used by Team Plasma. Ryan was unchained there and Colress interrogated him about why he was alone. He explained him the fight with his friends and the will to take a small break from them. Hearing it, Colress asked Ryan to join Team Plasma and take his revenge on his friends. At first, Ryan didn't want to but the more arguments Colress added, the more Ryan was thinking about the proposition but Garrett couldn't see the answer since the vision ended here.

When the harbinger was over, Garrett freaked out since he didn't know if his friend joined the dark side or not. He wanted to ask more questions but Jasmine called him to know where he was and hurried to come back to his friends with this harbinger in mind but couldn't tell anyone about it. While he was in the cave, Jasmine told Garrett that Lindy captured a Mismagius and Delia captured a Metang. Besides, Lindy's Froakie evolved into a Frogadier and learnt Water Pulse.

The next day, the group arrived in Driftveil city and noticed that a big tag team tournament was about to happen in two days. They all decided to participate and went to the Pokémon Center to sign up. Nurse Joy explained to them that in this tournament, each trainer has a number and is paired up with another trainer by draw, which meant they couldn't know their partner until they physically met. Each battle is a 2 vs 2 and the battle ends when both Pokemon of a team are unable to battle. After they received the instructions, they all went training for this tournament.
Two days later, every participants gathered in the Driftveil stadium to look at the draw and their partner. After everyone was present, the director of the competition proceeded to the draw and all numbers were on the screen. After that, they were all looking for their partner. When Lindy and Logan saw their numbers, they looked at each other and shouted: "Seriously?! I have to be stuck with her/him?!"

"It's not so bad." Ash replied. "I have to be with Serena for this tournament."
"I'm so happy we're together!" Serena exclaimed so loud everyone heard it. "I mean, as tournament partners!"

She hardly hid her red cheeks and tried to concentrate on the tournament. Garrett was pleased to be with Nando, a Coordinator and Pokemon trainer he battled with during Contests while Brock was surprised to see Barry, a trainer he met in Sinnoh. Delia was disappointed when she met her partner who was also her rival Trip. Furthermore, he took a picture of her when she saw him. For Jasmine well, not only she was surprised but everybody was shocked when they all saw her partner who was nothing but…

"Hello. Miss me?" asked Logan Ryan Hunter.

OMG, he's back! What will happen next? You'll have to wait and see. BTW, what do you think about Delia/N? Good or bad?

Don't forget to review, it gives me a smile. See you soon.
