Chapter 5: A Rematch

Ash was devastated about the loss, and asked for Gavin to train him, and Gavin agreed. He took out Gale, and taught him how to dodge ranged attacks, such as Ice Beam, Signal Beam, and Solar Beam. After a bit of training with that, he taught him how to stand his ground on ice battle fields, by using Iron Tail to smash the ice. Suddenly the same blonde girl showed up, and she and Ash talked for a bit, and Gavin noticed she handed him what seemed like a towel. Bonnie brought everyone in for dinner at the Pokemon Center, and they started to get to know each other. They did all the introductions and started becoming friends.

The Next Day

at 5 am, Gavin had woken up early to go on a run with his Pokemon, but he didn't expect Ash to be up already.

"What are you doing up?" Gavin asked in a whisper.

"I was gonna train." Ash responded. "What are you doing?"

"I wanted to go on a run to bond with my Pokemon." Gavin said. Ash had decided to join, and they came back an hour and a half later, and everyone was awake.

"Where were you guys?" Clemont asked. They responded saying they went on a run. They all made their way to the gym after breakfast, and Ash challenged the gym again. It ended better this time, resulting in a badge. They were about to make their way to the next route, when Serena was there.

"Hey…um I was wondering, if I could join you guys?" The others nodded, and they all were ready to leave to the next route, and to the next gym in Cyllage City...
