Chapter 33: Fishing Contest:
After entering the Waytide City, Ash says, "Wow, this city sure is very oceanic."
"I know what you mean, it is located near the seaside, and it looks beautiful as well." Alice says.
Delia says, "Since we are here, why don't we go find the Gym Leader and say hello?"
"Sure." Ash says as they go there, only to find that the Gym Leader isn't in the gym. "So if he isn't here, what should we do?"
Delia says, "Why don't you go relax at the beach? I am sure that it will help you a lot."
"Sure." Ash says as they go to the beach.
When they arrive at the beach, Ash is at the shower room waiting for Alice. "Ash, I am here..."
He turns around and sees Alice wearing a white bikini with some blue spots on it. Ash can't help but blush at the sight. And Alice also blushes as well since she sees his six packed abs.
"Alice...you...you look beautiful..." Ash says. "I am lost for words..."
Alice says, "You are really great as well." Then she grabs Ash's hand and says, "Why don't we go play?"
"Sure." Ash says as they go play in the water. Delia and Mark are watching the two play as Delia asks, "Don't you want to join them? Mark?"
Mark sighs, "Well, to be honest, ever since that happened, I am still afraid of water and ocean like stuff..."
"That is really surprising to hear from our little brother." Then they turn around and see the boy walking to them. "Brother Wade?"
"Hello, Mother, Mark. What brings you here?" Wade asks.
"Well, I was traveling with Ash and his girlfriend, right now they are here having fun." Delia says.
"What? Ash is here? No way. Mother, you should have tell me. You know I have been dying to see my brother Ash." Wade says.
"I am sure he will be happy to see you as well." Delia says with a small smile.
Ash and Alice are having fun in the water, but when they are swimming back to the beach, Ash says, "Hey, that's my brother Wade!"
"Wade?" Alice is confused as Ash and Pikachu rush towards the said person.
"Wade!" Ash says as he fists bump with Wade.
"Wow, Ash. Look at you, you look really great. And Mom and Dad finally bring you here, huh? Haha." Wade says as he ruffs his hair.
"Stop it, Wade, I am not a little kid." Ash says. "Oh, and Wade, this is Alice. Alice, this is my brother Wade."
"It is nice to meet you." Alice says with a bow. Wade says, "Oh, a member of the Masho Family I see. You two sure make a great couple."
"I already know that." Ash says. "So Wade, I heard that you are a Gym Leader, so can I battle you?"
"Oh, competing in Gym Battles? That is awesome! So how many badges do you have?"
Ash shows him. "I got 5. I even beat Damon and Amber who were mother's friends."
"You must be doing awesome!" Wade says, but before he can continue, they see a girl says, "Watch out, Wade! You might get beaten by your little sibling!"
"What?" Wade turns to the girl as she has green hair and the clothes are really aquatic. With blue top and blue shorts.
"Haha...I'm just kidding, though, who knows? He might!"
"Oh, it's you! Yeah, right...Ash, Alice, Mark, Mother, this is Reisa. She is my girlfriend."
"What, you have a girlfriend as well?" Mark is surprised. "Why didn't you tell us about it?"
Wade says, "Sorry, my gym business made me forgot."
Reisa says, "So you are Ash? I heard a lot about you from my father and Wade, you are really good trainer."
"Father? Did I know your father?" Ash asks.
Wade says, "Reisa is also a Top Coordinator and the daughter of the famous Wallace Mikuri."
"Wait, you are related to Wallace? The Hoenn Champion?" Ash gasps.
"You're right." Reisa says. "It is nice to meet you."
"So what are you doing here in Rikoto?" Alice asks.
"I'm here for the Pokemon Fishing Contest of course. Wade has been showing me all kinds of Water Type Pokemon in the Rikoto Region, but I want to see some more."
"I have an idea." Wade says, "Reisa, you should battle Ash so I can see your battling style."
"Well, okay! I'll battle, but only if you want to!" Reisa says.
Then they start to have a battle, then Reisa says, "Though I have a lot of Pokemon, but I will show you my three Water Types from this region. "Parasea."
As the Pokemon appears, Ash says, "I'll use Water Types as well, since we are at the beach. I choose Blastoise."
Once Blastoise appears on the field, the crowd is watching in awe at the sight of a foreign Pokemon. Alice says, "Blastoise? When did he get that Pokemon?"
Delia says, "Oh, when I was spying on traitors back when you are visiting the Brushus Town, I asked Officer Jenny at the Vermillion City to have it back for Ash."
"I see." Alice says with a nod.
Then Blastoise defeats the Parasee with the Ice Punch as well as the Crunch, so Reisa sends out Angelight. Ash recalls the Pokemon and sends out Sharko, Sharko and its Electric Attacks swiftly defeated the Pokemon. So Reisa uses her final Pokemon, Guppish.
"Lapras, I choose you." As Ash sends out his third Pokemon, Alice is in awe at the beauty of the Pokemon.
"Lapras looks really beautiful." Alice says.
"Indeed. I also found her since her mother is passed away, so I also took her with me when we are going back." Delia says.
Then Lapras uses Ice Beam and the Thunder to make Guppish fainted.
"You are as talented as your brother." Reisa says. "Wade, I guess you've got trouble on your hands."
"Indeed. That was a good battle! It's good to see how far you've come! I know! How about this! When you will have won 7 Badges, I will battle you!"
"What? I can't challenge you yet?" Ash frowns.
"What a great way to have a battle, trying to win your 8th Gym Badge!" Wade says.
"I guess so, which means where is the next gym located?" Ash asks.
"Then it will be in Greenpine City, it is really far from here." Alice says. "And then after the Greenpine, it will be my Subhail Gym." Alice says.
"Oh? So you are a Gym Leader as well? Interesting." Wade says. "Now I have to do some business with our aquarium...How about watching the Fishing Contest with Reisa?""
"That's great idea." Reisa says. "I'll show you how the Fishing Contest works!"
Mark says, "Then you won't mind if I help him as well?"
Delia says, "No problem."
Then Mark and Wade leave the group as Reisa says, "Then follow me to the gateway over there after getting your clothes back on."
The two nods as they change their swimsuits to their regular outfits. Then they go to the Fishing Contest entrance. Reisa says, "This is the Fishing Contest. Here, you can enter and you'll receive 30 Fishing Balls. Then, once inside, you can find a spot to go fishing. Once you hook a Pokemon, you can try to catch it. The catch is that you're only allowed one Pokemon with you to battle with. Also, you can only have one Pokemon that you've caught for the contest! But you can catch others. You just have to decide whether or not to keep the Pokemon you caught or replace it with a newly caught one in the contest. Once the Contest is over, the Trainer who has caught the best Pokemon will win a prize."
"So even though we caught the other Pokemon, we still can keep them if we caught them?" Alice asks.
"That's cool, right?" Reisa says. "By the way...for battling me, I have a little gift for you."
Ash got the egg from Reisa, but he decides to give it to Alice so she can train it. Then he goes to partake the contest.
The time limit is 20 minutes, but Ash has been capturing a lot of Pokemon. But he also fails some as he only capture 9 Pokemon out of 29 balls. "Great I have only one more...what should I choose..."
Just then, he notices a Pokemon, who is rushing towards him and giving him a hard tackle on the ground. "Oww...what's going on?"
The Pokemon says, "I finally found you, Ash! I missed you a lot."
"Wait, are you Corphish?" Ash gasps as he holds it in his arms. "What are you doing in the Fishing Contest?"
"I was caught here, so can you bring me out of here? Please?"
Ash sighs. "Sure." But then he sees this Pokemon, he smiles, "How about you help me win the Contest?"
The Pokemon nod as Ash throws the final Fishing Ball to the Pokemon. And then he takes it to the building to register for the contest.
After other participants are done, the receptionist says, "We will judge the Pokemon you placed here that was belonged to this place." Then after the examination, he says, "We have chosen the winner! The winner of the Contest is...Our Prince Ash, who caught a sparkling Crablue! The score is 341 points!"
After everyone is clapping for Ash, he goes to the stage and the receptionist says, "Here is your prize, a set of four evolution stones for your use."
Ash takes the stones and thanks him. Then he says, "Crablue, thank you for helping me." As they shake hands, Crablue shakes too hard and Ash is sent flying to the sand, much to everyone's amusement.
Back with the others, Alice says, "That is a really nice Crablue."
"Yeah, it turns out to be Corphish." Ash says as Pikachu is surprised. "Corphish?"
"You look the same, Pikachu." Crablue says.
Then Ash decides to see the Pokemon he captures, there are 4 Guppish, 3 Jellitot, a Parasea, a Surfide and a Crablue.
"Wow, you caught a lot of them..." Alice says.
"Yeah." Ash scans the Pokemon with his Pokedex.
Guppish: The Attuning Pokemon: Water Type. Years of evolution has made Guppish able to evolve into several formes. There are still ancient Guppish out in the sea that have yet to evolve.
Jellitot (M): The Cool Jelly Pokemon: Water Type. Jellitot, with their soft and light body, simply go along with the ocean's currents. They sometimes wash up onto the shores of many beaches around Rikoto.
Jellitot (F): The Sting Jelly Pokemon: Water Type. Jellitot's body mainly consists of water. While they can survive in most climates, being in too hot or too cold of a temperature would make them fatigued.
Parasea: The Paradise Pokemon: Water and Ground Type. Parasea kindly allows other smaller Pokémon to perch on its back when crossing the ocean. Few attack it due to its gentle nature and strong fins.
Surfide: The Surfer Pokemon: Water Type. Surfide go long lengths to decorate their surfboards made out of planks. The more intricate one's board is decorated into, the more respect it holds among fellow Surfide.
Crablue: The Pincer Pokemon: Water Type. Crablue hone their pincers against rocks near the shores. If one finds a rock with many u-shaped gouges on it, this means that a Crablue colony is nearby.
Ash says, "You know, Alice. I want to give you this Jellitot. Since it can evolve to an Ice Type Pokemon.
"You are giving it to me?" Alice gasps as she thanks Ash by giving him a kiss. Then she names the Jellitot Jello.
Reisa says, "So what is your prize?"
Ash takes out and says, "It gives me a Leaf Stone, Air Stone, Ice Stone and Dawn Stone!"
"Those are the stones that can make Guppish evolve. You're so lucky." Reisa says.
Ash nods as he uses them on 4 Guppish, then they all evolve into 4 different Pokemon. Alice gasps, "This is so amazing..."
"Yeah." Ash says as he scans the four of them.
Eqwater: The Symbiosis Pokemon: Water and Grass Type. Evolved from Guppish with a Leaf Stone. Eqwater's skin is stained green from the algae that it uses for protection and nutrients from photosynthesis. It prefers tropical waters in which algae is plentiful.
Glydfin: The Skipping Pokemon: Water and Flying Type. Evolved from Guppish with an Air Stone. Glydfin glide quickly and carefully just above the water. Swarms of them skip across the sea between seasons to regions with the appropriate climate.
Seagic: The Mirage Pokemon: Water and Fairy Type. Evolved from Guppish with a Dawn Stone. Seagic create mirages as a form of entertainment for their fellow Pokémon, though from time to time some unfortunate people would fall to the illusion.
Orcail: The Arctic Pokemon: Water and Ice Type. Evolved from Guppish with an Ice Stone. Orcail is well-adapted to cold waters. It has an extra layer of fat to keep warm and to crush ice drifts that their prey may inhabit on.
"This is so amazing. Four Pokemon with different species." Alice says.
"Yeah, I will like to be friends with all four of them." Reisa says, "I'm going back to the beach, so I'll see you soon." Then they bid farewell to the girl as then Mark and, much to their surprise, Keira go towards them.
"Oh, hey guys." Keira says. "How are you? How is the Fishing Contest?"
"Great, but what's going on and why are you together?" Ash asks.
Mark says, "Well, Professor Pinewood is here in Waytide City. He wanted us to find you guys because he has something important to tell us about those Team Solar and Team Lunar people."
"Team Solar and Team Lunar..." Ash and the group nod.
"Hurry! He's at the aquarium. Rodney and Wade are there, too!" Then they rush to the aquarium.
Here is a new chapter, Ash reunited with his older brother Wade, and I change Misty to Reisa since Misty is a traitor, it will be weird to see her here. And Ash also has the Pokemon that wasn't with him back thanks to his mother. I hope you like it.
