Ash and May were traveling to Lavaridge Town. They were currently setting up their camp and getting ready to sleep so that the next day they could reach their destination.
It was the middle of the night when they heard a cry of pain.
"Glaceon!!"
The sleeping couple woke up in distress as they heard Glaceon's screams of pain.
" What was that!?" Ash exclaimed.
"Glaceon!!!"
"Oh no!" May shouted as she got out of her sleeping bag to try and find her Pokemon.
The couple looked around frantically until they noticed Glaceon on the ground surrounded by all their Pokemon Pikachu being the most prominent of all, next to Glaceon was an egg, an Eevee egg to be precise.
Ash and May stood there shocked at the sight in front of them not really sure of what to make of the situation in front of them.
"Wow." Was the only thing May could say in her state of shock.
" Congratulations buddy, " Ash said to Pikachu.
May quickly pulled out Dratini's old incubator and put the Eevee egg inside the incubator to keep it warm. After that, the Couple quickly rushed to Lavaridge Town so that they could get to Nurse Joy to ensure that both Glaceon and the egg were healthy.
After leaving both Glaceon and the egg in Nurse Joy's care, Both teenagers fell asleep the instant they lied down on the bed in their rented room.
They slept for about six hours before they both woke up and got ready to tackle the day.
The first thing they did was pick up both Glaceon and the egg from Nurse Joy who had assured them that they were both healthy.
"Hey, May I'm going to ask Professor Oak to send me Charizard."
"Right! I should go ask Grandma to send my Pokemon to me too."
"Your Grandma?" Ash asked wondering why May left her fire type with her Grandma when she usually left her Pokemon with her Parents.
" Oh, I left Ash with my Grandma so she could train with my Grandmother's pokemon. She used to be a Dragon Master before she settled down so I left Ash with her, so she could learn from her Dragons."
"Ash? You named her after me!?"
" Of course not, you'll understand why I named her that when you see her." With that May and Ash, both departed to get their Fire types.
The two agreed to meet in the Courtyard that all Pokemon Centers had after they both got their Pokemon.
"Hello Ash, What do you need?" Professor Oak asked.
" There's this tournament that's going to take place next week, and I want to enter Charizard in it."
" Alright then, just let me get him for you."
As the old man left to get the Fire-type Ash released Bagon from his Pokeball.
" Bagon?"
" Bagon I'm going to send you to Professor Oak he's a good guy and he'll take care of you."
"Bagon." The Dragon type said sounding so sad it made Ash feel bad.
" Don't be like that, there's plenty of Pokemon in the lab that I know you can make friends with and there's this Pokemon named Gabite I know he can help you get really strong if you ask him to train you." Bagon seemed to perk up at those words and gave Ash a nod.
Soon after that Ash sent Bagon to Professor Oaks lab while Ash received Charizard.
Ash walked to the Courtyard with Charizard's Pokeball in hand. The second he reached the Courtyard Ash released his old friend and with a roar, Charizard materialized in front of Ash.
" Hey, Charizard it's been so long since I... Why are you wearing sunglasses?" Ash asked as he noticed that the Kanto starter was wearing glasses that looked a lot like the ones his Wartortle had.
The smug smirk Charizard gave him was enough for Ash to drop the subject and move on. " Anyway, There's this tournament coming up and I thought it would be a great way to see how much you've improved while you were in the Charizific Valley. What do you say?"
Charizard roared in approval and let loose a Flamethrower into the air to show his approval causing Ash to chuckle.
" Alright then let's wait for May. She's competing in the tournament two and she wants you to spar with her Pokemon." Ash said much to Charizard's increasing excitement.
A minute later May arrived pokeball in hand and ready for battle.
"Sorry I took so long, my Grandma wanted to catch up with me."
" No problem, Now can we battle?" Ash asked with Charizard behind him who was battle-ready and eager to square up against his opponent.
May smiled at her boyfriend before tossing her pokeball into the air, the ball snapped open and released a Charizard causing Ash to gawk at the pseudodragon in surprise and causing Ash's Charizard to blush.
This Charizard was different from most Charizards she had ash-grey skin and the fire at the tip of her tail was a haunting bright blue.
" You caught a Charizard!?"
" Back in Johto, I found her as a Charmeleon who was being hunted by Pokemon hunters, I helped her escape and she ended up joining me out of gratitude," May explained as both Charizards got ready for battle.
" Heads or tails?" Ash asked as he pulled out a coin.
"Heads."
Ash flipped the coin and it landed on heads meaning May would have the first move.
" Alright, Ash use Dragon dance." The shiny Charizard took to the sky covered in a red and black aura gracefully dancing in the air.
" Now Thunder punch."
Ash spread her wings and soared straight towards Charizard her claw producing electricity as she got closer and closer to her opponent. Charizard countered this by flying straight into the air knowing that his opponent would follow him it was there where he made clear who the superior flyer was by expertly dodging her Thunder punch numerous times.
" Push her back with flamethrower!"
Charizard nailed his foe with a close-range flamethrower attack successfully pushing her back and creating distance between them.
" Knock him out of the sky with Fire blast!"
" Block it with Flamethrower!"
Both Charizards took a deep breath as they both breathed fire on one another, orange flames fought for dominance over the blue flames and won as the Flamethrower successfully overpowered the Fire blast.
" Dragon dance!" May ordered.
Ash tried to complete the dance but couldn't as Charizard shot her down with a Dragon pulse followed by a mighty Focus blast.
" Ash!" May shouted as she watched her Charizard crash right into the floor.
" Let's finish this one with a Seismic toss."
Charizard dived down ready to finish off his opponent but he wasn't expecting Ash to slam into him using Dragon rush the punishment didn't end there as the Shiny Charizard began assaulting her foe with Dragon claw.
"Alright now use Thunder punch," Ash smirked viciously as she punched Charizard in the gut with enough force to send him crashing to the ground right in front of Ash.
"Charizard can you still fight!?" Ash asked in worry, Charizard merely ignored Ash and roared in anger at his attacker.
" Finish it with Flare blitz!" May shouted to her Charizard.
The shiny Charizard surrounded herself with white flames and dove straight down to tackle her foe.
" It's all or nothing Charizard use Blast burn!"
Charizard did as he was commanded to and slammed his claw into the ground causing it to shake violently soon after fire began to rise from the ground like an active volcano. The flames rose so high that they consumed Ash who got blown off course thanks to the strength of the strongest fire type move.
Ash and May coughed due to all the smoke Charizard had created with his Blast burn and it took a full minute for all of it too clear but when it did May's Charizard was revealed to be unable to battle.
"You did it, Charizard." Ash praised, the fire type Pokemon would have roared to celebrate his victory but he was panting heavily and very physically tired from using his most powerful attack.
May returned her Charizard and said. " I think you may have overdone it, Ash."
" What do you me-" It was then that Ash noticed that Charizard's attack had burnt almost the entire battlefield black, the ground all around him was also visibly split from the miniature earthquake caused by the attack.
"Woah." Ash said amazed by the raw power that Charizard had gained over at the Charizific Valley.
Charizard let out a puff of smoke from his mouth as if to say. "Damn straight."
" Take a break Charizard." Ash pulled out Charizards Pokeball and returned his old friend. Ash approached May and said, " I hope your Charizard is alright after taking an attack like that."
" Don't worry about it, Ash is really strong She fights regularly with my Grandmas Dragonite and Salamence."
" Well let's get these two over to Nurse Joy," Ash suggested.
" Good idea."
