Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon if I did Ash would bloody age, and win a LEAGUE!
A/N: Small chapter, as I had already pretty much started writing this one. In it will you will see what Pokemon Ash is planning to use, along with their move-set and natures, and levels.
Silver Town Hospital
Ash slowly opened his eyes a little, the brightness of the room lights was making it hard for him to see and his vision to focus, He suddenly felt someone lick his cheek, the tongue felt like sand paper. Ash then noticed a yellow and brown blur appeared, Ash could feel a small weight on his chest, soon his vision had adjusted and his best friend Pikachu came into focus.
"That was a close one boss, we weren't sure you were going to be awake for the start of the tournament."
Ash reached out and patted Pikachu's head gently, he then turned his head to see a sleeping Sabrina who had her head on the bed, Ash could also see she was holding his hand. Cynthia however, was nowhere to be seen, everything that happened suddenly came flashing back, he had tried to interfere between Cynthia and her sister, and had ended up getting hit by an aura blast from Cynthia. Since she had been training with Ash her aura power had increased quite a bit, but Ash had no idea how much until now. It looks like he wasn't the only one that was going to need to learn control, Ash noticed Sabrina slowly stirred, and her eyes opened.
Ash, you're finally awake." Ash felt Sabrina full weight on his chest as Sabrina reached over to hug him."
Ash lifted his arms and wrapped them around Sabrina. "Yeah I have only just woke up, how long have I been out? Last thing I remember was getting hit and then darkness. Is Cynthia okay? What happened after I was knocked out?"
Sabrina lifted her body off Ash, and sat back down beside his bed and took hold of his hand again. "Well after you had been knocked out, Cynthia and Lydia stopped. It seems both were worried about you. Susan had you transported here, due to the incident both were summoned to see Mr Goodshow. I am not sure what was said, but Cynthia looked a little down. As for how long you have been out, well its been a full day Ash, we worried you were not going to be awake for the start of the Tournament."
Ash groaned, a full day that meant he had only two days left to train, Ash attempted to get out of bed, but was pushed back down by Sabrina.
"Stay where you are Mr, at least wait for the Doctor to give you the all clear. Cynthia was here a little while ago, to give her a breather I said I would take over, she was going to have the evening watch, but hopefully that won't be needed. Now wait here, while I go get the doctor. Pikachu don't let him get up." Sabrina then got up and left the room, closing the door behind her. Once the door was shut, Ash attempted to get up, only to have Pikachu use his paw to push him back down. Ash frowned. "Traitor"
Pikachu shook his head. "No boss, Sabrina right, what happens if you get up and then collaspe. We might have to spend another day in here, and then what will you do about your training."
Ash sighed and scratched the top of Pikachu ears. "When you put it like that, then I guess it makes sense. I hate laying around doing nothing though"
Pikachu jumped off Ash's chest, now that he could see his trainer had seen sense, there was no need to keep him pushed down.
"Just think boss, about all those trainers were going to beat in the Silver Conference, it's going to be a lot of fun. Besides were stronger than we have ever been, do we really need to train more."
Ash looked to his partner. "Of course you do, yes you're strong, but there will always be someone stronger, so we have to continue on training. Not to mention how will you learn new moves if you don't train?"
Pikachu raised his little paw and started to count using his fingers. "What do you mean learn new moves. I already know Quick Attack, Double team, thunder wave, Iron tail, Electro ball, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Dig, Volt Tackle, Agility, Spark, Discharge what else do I need to learn?"
Ash leaned over to his jacket and then removed his pokedex, he selected Pikachu and then looked down at the moves he could learn. "What about Light Screen, and Magnet rise, As your main weakness is ground type attacks then Magnet rise might be a good move to have."
Pikachu groaned. "Okay, if you want me to learn them so be it, but still, I never felt stronger than I am now boss."
Ash pointed the Pokedex towards Pikachu. "Pikachu the electric mouse Pokemon, this Pokemon has the ability static, it is of a modest nature and male. It knows Quick Attack, Double Team, Thunder wave, Iron tail, Electro ball, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Dig, Volt tackle, Agility, Spark, Discharge. This Pikachu is level 55.
Ash nodded. "You're only level 55 Pikachu, that means you still have over 45 more levels until you reach level 100. Once you reach that, then you can stop training. In fact it might be a good idea to check the rest of the family out." Ash decided he would so that later, just as he had put his Pokedex away, Sabrina had returned with the doctor.
"Ah Mr Ketchum, I am pleased to see you're awake. Please if you would sit up for me, and I will check if everything is okay."
Ash sat up and let the doctor carry out his checks. Once the examination was over, Ash noticed the Doctor picked up his chart off the bottom of his bed and scribbled something on it.
"Well Mr Ketchum, it seems everything is fine. You don't seems to be suffering from a concussion and your vision seems just fine. You have clearance to leave, but please take it easy for the next few hours." The Doctor then left the room, leaving Ash and Sabrina alone. Sabrina grabbed Ash's clothes and handed them to him. Once he was fully dressed both left the hospital room, as they walked down towards the exit, they noticed Cynthia was coming towards them. Once she had seen them she ran towards Ash and jumped into his arms. She burst into tears on his shoulder.
"Oh Ash, I am so sorry, I didn't mean to lash out at you." Ash comforted his crying girlfriend and then wrapped one arm around Cynthia waste and one around Sabrina, both girls rested their head on either shoulder, while Pikachu sat on top. Ash noticed the stares he was getting especially from the males, however he didn't care. Once they had left the hospital they headed towards the Pokemon Centre, Unfortunately Ash was recognised by several people and soon crowds were surrounding him, this was all he needed. Once the fans had gathered the press soon followed, and now Ash was blinded by camera flashes. Luckily one of the Officer Jenny had seen the commotion and had soon broken up the crowd and escorted Ash and the girls back to the Pokemon centre.
Inside Ash's Room
Ash slammed shut the door in relief, being a celebrity was not good, even when they had reached the Pokemon Centre, there was still crowds of fans wanting pictures and autographs. Ash hadn't even won the Silver Conference yet, he dreaded to think what the media attention would be like if he did. Now though he was inside his room with both Sabrina and Cynthia. Ash heard his Pokegear and removed it from his pocket and pressed the button. On screen appeared his mum.
"Hi sweetie, just wanted to make sure you got back to Johto okay. Professor Oak and I will be coming to support you, dad said he would try, but wasn't going to make any promises. Now you're eating enough, and changing you know what ever day?"
Ash groaned. "Yes mum, will see you soon, got to go, I missed out on a full day training and need to prepare for the Silver Conference. By the way were staying at the big Pokemon Centre in Silver Town."
Delia smiled on screen. "Okay sweeties be good and Sabrina, Cynthia please look after my little champion." Both girls poked their head over Ash shoulder and nodded. The screen then blinked off, and Ash placed it back into his pocket.
"Okay I am going to head towards the training field I need to check something out. I scanned Pikachu a few hours ago and he was level 55, and want to see just how strong all my others are."
Sabrina raised an eyebrow. "You mean you're planning to reveal all the legends you will be using? Won't that cause an even bigger media issue?"
Ash nodded. "Right, which is why the legendaries will be scanned somewhere else, not sure where though, in Indigo we had that big forest, but around here, there is nothing like that. Okay I am heading down, you girls coming with me?"
Sabrina looked at Cynthia, both girls shook their heads. "Oh no, we come with you, and you won't even acknowledge that we are there. Plus I saw a few good stores around here so I think a bit of shopping is in order. So Ash, sweeties, mind lending us your card?"
Ash removed his wallet from his pocket and then handed the card over to Sabrina and Cynthia." Okay you two have fun, but I want you take this." Ash then handed over Mewtwo Poke ball much the confusion of the two girls. "Just in case you run into Eberus, you can use Mewtwo to teleport away" On hearing this Sabrina took the Poke ball from Ash and then kissed him, followed by Cynthia. Both girls then left.
Training Area
Ash had found some unoccupied space and began to call out his Pokemon, soon Dragonite, Knuckles, Gengar, Charizard, Snorlax and his red Gyarados was in front of him. Ash then removed his Pokedex and pointed it towards Dragonite.
Dragonite, the legendary Pokemon, this Pokemon is female and has a Hasty nature, it has the ability Multiscale. It knows Dragon dance, Extreme Speed, safe guard, Thunder, Dragon Claw, Dragon rush, Ice Beam, Dragon Tail, Outrage, Draco Meteor, Protect, Dragon Pulse. This Pokemon is Level 57

Gyarados, the water/flying duel type, this Pokemon is of an adamant nature, it Knows, Dragon Dance, Water fall, Bounce, Outrage, Dragon tail, Hyper beam, Twister, Ice fang, Ice fang. This Pokemon is level 50.
Ash closed his Pokedex, so they were all between lv50 and lv75, it was no surprise that Knuckles was the highest, not after how much Ash used him in Kanto. "Okay everyone, listen up, you seven are my selected Team for the Silver conference. You will be joined by Princess, Darkrai, and Suicune. We have two days until the opening ceremony so I am going to split you up, and you will spar with each other. Okay Dragonite, you will face Charizard, Genger you will face Gyarados, Pikachu you will battle Knuckles, Snorlax, you will battle..." Ash noticed Snorlax had fallen back and was now fast asleep. "Okay never mind Snorlax will spar later once he has woken up. I would like you all to raise at least two levels by the end of these two days."
All the Pokemon roared in approval, all accept Snorlax who was snoring away in the corner. Ash watched as each of his Pokemon paired up, and began to spar. As they did Ash was taking notes of what they could improve on, and how he could make them stronger.
A/N: Okay I might have been a little hasty with my author note. I was just upset at the outcome, I mean what must he do to actually prove he has learnt anything these last twenty years. His team were really strong and yet the writer still give him the same outcome. This upset more than the Sinnoh crap, to be honest, that Charizard was stronger than both Darkrai, and Latios, which is pretty hard to believe seeing its a none legendary. So here is a short chapter, it may take me a little time, to cool down, but I won't abandon this story, thank you all for your reviews and encouragement, to continue this story. Next Chapter will be the opening Ceremony of the Silver conference and Ash and Sabrina finally find out what group their in.
