R&R please.
"You did a great job Piplup", praised a blue-haired trainer the small Pokémon next to her. "Pi-plup", gasped the Pokémon out, panting for air. The fourteen years old chuckled amused and shook her head.
"Dawn." She turned around to come face to face with a brunette fifteen years old. "That was great, don't you think so?", asked the girl.
Dawn grinned and answered: "It sure was. May, Blaziken was so strong."
May smiled back and answered: "One thing is sure. Our Pokémon will be in top-shape for the contest."
"And one of us is gonna win this!", cheered Dawn, having May and Blaziken laugh, while Piplup mimicked her.
"Well, good luck with that. You're not the only ones entering", stated a male voice suddenly.
Both girls froze up, their eyes widening. That was a voice they hadn't heard for years. Both spun to the owner, to see a sixteen years old teen standing there. He had his arms crossed and a Pikachu sat on his shoulder. "ASH!", shouted both together and ran at their old friend. They tackle-hugged him, knocking him to the ground and Pikachu off of his shoulder.
"Gah! May…Dawn…glad to see you too but…GET OFF!", cried the teen out.
Dawn laughed at this and argued: "Not a chance. Ash Ketchum you just disappeared for years."
"Yep", agreed May. "You definitely owe us an explanation."
"I do and I will give it to you, but get off me", shouted Ash and tried to shove them off.
Dawn gave a grin and held onto him tighter, May following her example. Now way they would allow him that after so long. The past few years, the two girls had come as close as sisters, if not closer. They even knew about each other's crushes.
"What the…Ash what are you…I mean…"
All four looked up, to find four teens standing nearby. One was a tanned girl with long purple hair, another girl had blonde hair, the first guy with the group had green hair and the fourth person surprised Dawn greatly.
"Paul?", asked the coordinator.
Paul gave a nod in greeting, before Ash repeated: "Honestly guys, let me stand up. My legs are falling asleep!" Both girls finally got off of their friend, but continued to stare at the group that had followed Ash. The raven-haired trainer cleared his throat and said: "Uh, I better introduce. May, Dawn, those are Iris", the purple haired girl, "Bianca", the blonde, "Cilan", the green haired boy, "and I'm sure you remember Paul." Both nodded, then Ash turned to the other four and repeated: "Iris, Bianca, Cilan, those two are May and Dawn. I travelled through Hoenn with May and her brother and Dawn travelled with me through Sinnoh."
"Oh, that's why you ran off once I told you what their Pokémon were", said the blonde.
Dawn saw Ash nodding, before turning back to her and May. "Well, you guys are coming with us to the Pokémon Centre? You do deserve an explanation." Dawn nodded, then picked Piplup up. May recalled Blaziken and Pikachu leaped back onto Ash's shoulder. Suddenly one of Ash's Pokéballs snapped open and, to May's and Dawn's surprise, a Lucario appeared. The Pokémon gazed around worriedly, before Ash asked: "You sensing trouble Lucario?"
"I'm not certain."
Dawn eeped at the sudden voice in her head, while May asked: "Ash your Lucario is using Telepathy. Like, like Sir Aaron's?"
Ash nodded, though Dawn saw that his mind was far off. "Something…just feels amiss. It's not my Aura that tells me this Master. You could call it instinct." The girls watched how both Ash and Paul frowned at Lucario's words, before Ash nodded and answered: "We'll keep our eyes open Lucario. Don't worry. You want to stay out here?"
"If I may", answered the Pokémon, scanning the park once more.
"Well, let's go then", stated the Kanto native and walked off. Dawn shared a glance with May. How came it, that wherever Ash went, he got into something. And why were they pulled into it as well every time.
"I know why with you", hissed May with an evil smirk.
Dawn blushed beet red and hissed back: "Shut up! He could hear you!"
May raised an ironic eyebrow and asked: "So, you don't want him to know?"
"NO!", cried Dawn out, having everyone stop in their tracks.
"Is something wrong", asked Cilan.
Dawn shook her head rapidly and answered: "Nothing. Someone", she glared at May, "Just should keep to her own business."
May put on an innocent expression, having Dawn growl at her. Ash shrugged and walked on, stating: "Girls."
"What was that?", exclaimed Iris. In answer Ash and Paul smirked at her, before running off, Iris chasing them. Dawn stared and blinked confused, before Cilan shrugged and ran after them. "Wait for me guys!" The three remaining girls exchanged looks, before running after the others as well. They soon reached the Pokémon Centre, finding Ash and Paul sitting at a bi table that would fit the entire group. Iris stood nearby, fuming. Pikachu sat in front of Ash while Lucario kneed nearby, grimly talking to a small cream- and red-coloured Pokémon.
"What's that?", asked May.
Dawn pulled out her Pokédex and scanned the small creature.
"Mienfoo, the Martial Arts Pokémon. Mienfoo's sharp claws strike quickly and precisely. It also overwhelms opponents with its skillful combination attacks."
"A fighting-type", murmured the blue haired girl.
"What did she do now?", asked Cilan with a chuckle.
This gained him a smile from Iris, who answered: "Don't know. I guess Lucario has just gotten annoyed with her constant questioning. She's been out ever since I reached the centre as well."
Cilan chuckled at this and stated: "Well, she definitely has something with him."
"More like brother/sister though", cut Ash's voice in. Everyone looked at him. He smirked and gestured at them to sit. Dawn walked up to him and sat down next to Ash. Piplup leaped onto the table and started a conversation with Pikachu. The yellow mouse happily answered to everything Piplup said and Ash chuckled: "Glad those two still get along."
Dawn laughed as well, then May asked: "So Ash, explanation?"
Ash nodded and leaned back, beginning his tale.
