HotXbun: I am so sorry that it has been over THREE MONTHS since I last updated! I was working on other stories.
This will be the first chapter based on 'You Never Can Taillow.' We'll also be reunited with some old faces from the I Choose You movie.
PS: Please read the AN at the end of the chapter.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon. Nintendo does.
Chapter 13 Old Friends
Ash's POV
The Next Day
Max, May and I were traveling through the forest.
For some reason...they both looked upset.
"What's up with you guys", I asked.
"According to my research, you're supposed to be able to easily find Pokémon in a forrest", Max revealed. "But I don't see any Pokémon anywhere!"
"Forget that", May said. "I'm starving! Can we stop to have lunch?"
Ten Minutes Later
We had found a nice spot to rest and unpacked some sandwiches.
May was about to eat hers...when it was snatched up by a Taillow!
"Hey", she yelled as she stood up. "Give that back!"
"Uh oh", Max said.
"What do you mean", I asked.
"Nobody comes in between May and her food", Max revealed. "Nobody."
After hearing that I looked at May.
If looks could kill, I'd be ten feet under right now.
"Come on Torchic", May said. "Let's go teach that Taillow a lesson."
Ten Minutes Later
We followed May as she walked through the forrest looking for Taillow.
Eventually, we found it eating May's sandwich on a tree branch.
"Hey", she yelled angrily. "That's not your sandwich!"
With that...the Taillow glared at us.
Then...a bunch of other Taillow appeared!
"Right", Max said in realization. "Taillow live in flocks."
"You could've told me that earlier", May pointed out.
"You were in a food rage", Max pointed out. "I know not to bother you when you're in a food rage."
"Good point", May stated.
With that we looked at the Taillow in fear.
But before anything else could happen...this did.
"Lucario", I heard somebody yell. "Use Aura Sphere!"
With that...an Aura Sphere came flying towards the Taillow, scaring them off.
"Still getting yourself into trouble I see Ash."
With that I turned around...and gasped in shock.
Standing right in front of me was...Sorell and Verity!
The former was wearing an olive green, sleeveless shirt; dark grey jeans; olive green sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles and a white, short sleeved over shirt that was unbuttoned.
Verity was wearing an ocean blue, short sleeved top with a pocket on it; light blue jeans and ocean blue sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles.
Her hair was straight and loose.
"Sorell", I said in shock. "Verity?"
"Good to see you Ash."
One Hour Later
Everybody was chowing down on some stew Sorell made.
"This is really good Sorell", May stated.
"Thank you", Sorell said.
"So what are you guys doing here anyway", I asked.
"I decided to take on the Hoenn league and Sorell wanted to study Hoenn Pokémon", Verity revealed. "We decided that it would be better to travel together."
"Speaking of traveling together", I started changing the subject. "Maybe we should all travel together as one big group!"
"That's a great idea", Verity stated. "What do you think Sorell?"
"It would be nice to all travel together again", Sorell stated.
"What do you guys think", I asked Max and May.
"Sure", Max asked. "Why not?"
"The more the merrier", May stated.
"Okay then", I said. "Then it's settled. We'll all travel together."
With that we all smiled.
Then...we heard something.
We all turned around...and saw Taillow!
"Oh no", May said. "You are not taking my food again!"
"I'll handle this", I stated. "Let's do this Pikachu!"
One Hour Later
Not only did I end up defeating Taillow...I caught him as well!
Sorell was currently tending to its wounds.
"You're a tough one aren't you", I asked. "Tell you what, how about you travel with us?"
HotXbun: Alright! The whole team is together now!
Challenge: Tell me what you think of Sorell and Verity joining the group.
My Answer: I like it.
