"Ok guys, so the big battle is against Palmer tomorrow, and as a result, we need to train"! Said Ash. "Pika"! Said Pikachu, agreeing! "We will help you train, Ash", said Macy. "Thanks", said Ash. "You're welcome", said Macy. "So, first, Macy will help and then I will help"! Said Serena.

"Ok, cool"! Said Ash. "Yep"! Said Serena. Meanwhile, back at Pallet town …. "I'm so excited to watch Ash's big battle tomorrow"! Said Delia. "Me too, it's been a while since Ash has last battled"! Said Professor Oak. "True"! Said Delia. "I'm excited too"! Said Tracey.

"I hope Ash is training his Pokemon though"! said Professor Oak. "He should be"! Said Tracey. "True"! Said Delia. Meanwhile, Ash, Macy and Serena found a great place to go training for Ash's battle with Palmer tomorrow! "Alright, cool we are at a great place to train"! Said Ash. "Yep"! Said Macy.

"Alright, so the practice battle between Macy and Ash will now begin"! Said Serena. "Go, Pikachu'! Said Ash. "I choose, Magcargo"! Said Macy. "Battle, begin"! Said Serena. "Alright, Pikachu use thunder, now", said Ash. "Pikachu"! Said Pikachu. "Magcargo, dodge it now'! Said Macy.

Magcargo then managed to dodge the thunder, but got hit by a rock a little due to the fact that some small pebbles went flying after the attack. "Alright, Magcargo, use flamethrower, now"! Said Macy. "Pikachu, dodge it now and use quick attack, now", said Ash.

Pikachu managed to dodge most of the Flamethrower but got hit by small amounts of the ember from the attack. "Alright, this is great training for tomorrow, so far"! Said Ash. "I agree, said Macy. "Me too, Said Serena.

Meanwhile, the annoying traitors were still searching for Max, of course! "I hope we are almost to Max's trail"! Said Iris. "Me too"! Said Brock. However, it began raining for the traitors! "Great, it's raining"! Said May. "I know'! Said Misty. "Man, I hate that Ash, for making my brother lost"! Said May.

"I know, I hope he loses against Palmer tomorrow"! Said Brock. "Me too"! Said May. Meanwhile, Ash and Macy continued to battle! "Alright, Pikachu, now use electro ball"! Said Ash. "Chu, Pika"! Said Pikachu hurling the move towards Magcargo.

Magcargo then got hit! "Shoot, well Magcargo, use body slam now"! Said Macy. Then, Pikachu got hit by the body slam attack! "Man, this is tough"! Said Ash. "I agree'! Said Macy. "This battle is sure getting great"! Said Serena. "I agree, anyways Pikachu use volt tackle"! Said Ash.

Pikachu then did volt- tackle and it did a lot of damage to Magcargo. In the end of the battle, Magcargo ended up getting defeated! "Good job"! Said Ash. "You too", said Macy as they both kissed. "That was a great match"! Said Serena. "That sure was, want to battle now as well"? Asked Ash.

"How about we eat lunch first and then, we will"! Said Serena. "Sounds good to me"! Said Ash. "Me too"! Said Macy. Then, Macy, Serena and Ash went to eat lunch. "Alright, here's the food court"! Said Ash. "Yep"! Said Macy.

Then, they ordered at a Pizza place. "What kind of pizza did you get, Serena"? Asked Ash. "I got sausage, what about you"? Asked Serena. "I got pepperoni"! Said Ash. "Cool", said Serena. "Yep", said Ash. "What did you get, Macy"? Asked Serena.

"I got pepperoni and mushrooms"! Said Macy. "Cool"! Said Ash. "Yep"! Said Macy. After they ate, Serena and Ash went to battle, while Macy was the judge! "Alright, so Serena and Ash will now battle, choose your Pokemon"! Said Macy.

"Go, Torterra"! Said Ash. "Cool, so you got Torterra the other day from Professor Oak"? Asked Serena. "Yep, I sure did"! Said Ash. "Cool"! Said Serena. "Yep"! Said Ash. "Alright, I choose Pancham"! Said Serena.

"Alright, the battle between Serena's Pancham, and Ash's Torterra will now begin"! Said Macy. What will happen, and who will the next practice battle? Find out in the next chapter!
