Chapter 13
That's The Idea, Ochaco
UA High
The school had only just reopened. After the attack on the USJ and the police had finished their investigation, the teachers done multiple checks on the security system to make sure it would be virtually impossible to penetrate the system again. Class 1A was in their room and were conversing with each other. Sui, Ashido, Uraraka and Tenya were in their group and more members had joined the group. Todoroki, Ojiro and Yaoyorozu.
"I didn't think I'd say this but it's great to be back in school." Ashido said. The rest of the group agreed with her.
"Yes, our education had been massively delayed due to the attack." Tenya said.
"How long do we have before class starts?" Ojiro asked. Yaoyorozu looked at her watch.
"3 minutes." Yaoyorozu said.
"Ash and Midoriya better hurry up." Todoroki said.
"Yeah, it won't look good if they are late on the first day back." Ojiro said.
"But they still have time to get in." Uraraka said. Just then Midoriya entered the classroom.
"Hey everyone." Midoriya said. Everyone was pleased to see him.
"Midoriya, glad to see you made it." Tenya said. He then looked behind him. "Where's Ash?"
"What do you mean, he's right..." Midoriya stopped when he saw Ash wasn't behind him. "He was following me." Sui went to the door and looked down the hallway. She saw Ash slumped against the wall, clutching his stomach.
"ASH!" Sui shouted as she ran towards Ash. This caught the groups attention and they followed her out. Sui knelt down next to Ash. "Ash, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. The doctors said I'll experience episodes for the next few days." Ash said.
"Do you need any help?" Uraraka asked.
"No, I should be fine." Ash said as he tried to get up. But he hurt even more and slumped back down.
"Let's get you in your seat in the classroom." Todoroki said as he helped Ash up. He guided Ash into the classroom and the students saw his pain.
"Ash, are you okay?" Kaminari asked. Ash tried to play it off.
"Yeah I'm fine, it doesn't hurt that much." Ash said. But everyone knew that wasn't true.
"Are you sure you don't need to go back home? I won't mind walking you back." Ashido said. But Ash didn't want to get her in trouble for being late.
"I'll be fine for the day. If it gets too much, I'm pretty sure the teacher will send me home." Ash said.
"But still, it might be a good idea to ask for someone to help you back if it comes to that." Ojiro said. Just then, the teacher appeared at the door.
"Ok everyone, take your seats." Mr. Aizawa said. The class looked at him and saw that he was heavily bandaged. Everyone went to their seats. Mr. Aizawa went behind his desk.
"Sir, are you sure you are ok to teach?" Midoriya asked.
"My injuries are irrelevant to what my job is at the moment." Mr. Aizawa said. The students looked at each other thinking their teacher must be really resilient to come back to work so soon. "Ok, from now on we will be focusing on preparing for the Sports Festival." There was mixed reaction at this announcement.
"Sir, are you sure it is a good idea to do the festival after the attack?" Tenya asked.
"The festival is one of the most anticipated events of the year. It is heavily televised and gains a lot of revenue from this. Also it's the best way for agencies to see your ability and scout you out for placement." Aizawa said. Ash still didn't know what this festival is like.
"What's a sports festival?" Ash asked. Some of the students looked at him, confused. While Midoriya, Uraraka, Tenya, Sui and Ashido knew why he asked that question.
"You don't know about the Sports Festival?" Mineta asked.
"Where have you been man?" Kirishima asked. Sui thought she clear things up with Ash.
"A Sports Festival is something to showcase our quirks and for professionals to scout us out." Sui said. Mr. Aizawa continued from the sentence.
"And shortly after the festival, you'll be working alongside pro heroes, experiencing what it's like to be a hero." Aizawa said.
"That sounds so cool. When is the festival starting?" Ash asked.
"In a few weeks. So you should be fine to compete in that time, Ash" Aizawa said. Ash was getting really excited for this. "Ok, let's get back to the lesson."
UA Hallway/Lunchtime
The group was walking down the hallway to the messhall to grab their food. As they were walking, they were talking about the Sports Festival. The more they talked about it, the more Ash was learning about it. As Ash was looking round, he saw Uraraka had a distant look on her face.
"Uraraka, are you okay?" Ash asked. The group looked at her at this point.
"Yeah I'm fine." Uraraka said. She then looked to the side. "I'm just really hoping I make a good impression with my quirk on the day."
"You'll be fine Uraraka. There are other events later on for the heroes to see." Ojiro said. Uraraka still off to the side.
"It's not the heroes you want to showcase to, is it?" Yaoyorozu asked. Uraraka looked at her, given her a slownod.
"Who is it you are trying to impress?" Midoriya asked.
"My dad. I just want to help him out." Uraraka said.
"Help him out how?" Sui asked.
"My dad owns a construction firm and costs a lot of money to hire out heavy lifting machinery. If he had the money, he would buy the machines and made sure they were running perfectly himself. But with my quirk, he wouldn't need to use the machines the jobs." Uraraka said. It was only then the group knew what she was getting at.
"I get it. Because you make things weightless, your dad wouldn't need to hire out those machines." Tenya said.
"And because of that, your dad would be saving money and be able to keep the firm going for a long time." Midoriya said.
"Wow, that sounds like a good plan." Ashido said. Uraraka still didn't look happy.
"Yeah. But still, something might go wrong." Uraraka said. Ash came forward and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked at him.
"Uraraka, I promise I will do whatever I can to make that happen." Ash said. Uraraka had a shocked look on her face.
"We all will." Todoroki said. She looked at the group and they were all in agreement.
"Thank you guys." Uraraka said, letting out a smile.
"Now let's get some food. I still need to feed the Pokemon by the tree." Ash said as he walked to the mess hall. Others followed him.
Class 1A
It was coming to the end of the school day and Mr. Aizawa was wrapping up his lesson.
"So like I said before, in the week leading up to the festival, class will be training only. That is it for today. You can go home now." Mr. Aizawa said. Everyone was gathering up their things and Yaoyorozu walked up to Ash.
"Hey Ash." Yaoyorozu said. This caught Ash's attention. "Have you got any plans right now?"
"No, not really. I was just going to go back home. Why do you ask?" Ash asked.
"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out for a bit? Just the two of us."Yaoyoroza asked. When that sentence came out, some of the other girls started to listen in.
"Yeah, I'd like that. It should be fun." Ash said. Ash and Yaoyorozu started walking to the door together.
"That's great. I think it be if..." Yaoyorozu didn't finish the sentence since when they opened the door, it was blocked by other students from the other classes.
"So, this is Class 1A." One of the students said.
"What are you doing here? You know school is over?" Ash asked.
"Yeah. We just wanted to see the classroom that took on actual villains. And I'm not impressed by what I see." The same student said.
"Hey, get out of the way already." Bakugo said. "This isn't your classroom so you shouldn't be here."
"Not yet at least. If we do really well in the festival, then we can be transferred to the hero course." One of the students said.
"And the same goes for you if you don't well and you have to be put on the support course then." Another student said. Ash was getting tired of this.
"Support heroes are just as important." Ash said. One of the students just looked at Ash.
"Because you are on the hero course, doesn't mean you are above the rest of us. If we were in a fight, I'd take you down." The student said, shoving Ash. A part of the force was also applied to the stomach and Ash landed on the floor and was in agony.
"AHH!!" Ash screamed.
"Ash." Ashido said.She knelt down on the floor along with some other 1A students.
"Are you okay?" Hagakure asked.
"It's still sensitive. I'll be fine in five minutes." Ash said.
"Look at that, he's so weak a single push took him down." The student exclaimed. He didn't say much afterwards after Bakugo grabbed him and punched him. The student recoiled in pain.
"You're not much better yourself." Bakugo said. Mr. Aizawa had seen enough.
"That's enough. Everyone that's not from 1A, disperse now." Mr. Aizawa said. The students outside the classroom slowly left. As soon as the students had left, Bakugo looked at Ash.
"Hey." Bakugo said. Ash looked at him. "You doing okay?"
"Yeah." Ash said. Bakugo nodded and left the classroom. Recently everyone had seen Bakugo had change his attitude towards Ash so quickly. But they liked that they were on friendly terms now. Jiro knelt down in front of Ash.
"Ash, I'm just going to look at your stomach to see if there is any damage." Jiro said. Ash didn't want her to do that.
"No, there's no need. Im good to go." Ash said. He tried to get up but couldn't with the pain.
"I'm looking." Jiro said as she lifted Ash's shirt. It was then most of the students saw his toned body. Jiro looked at the area where he'd been stabbed before and saw no discolouration on the area. "I don't think there's anything to worry about."
"Can you lift up his shirt again, I didn't get a good view." Hagakure said. The girls in the group wanted this to happen, but someone interrupted.
"Okay everyone, move along. Ash needs some space to recover now." Tenya said. The girls reluctantly got up and moved away. Yaoyorozu grabbed a chair near Ash and waited for him. All the male students except Midoriya, grabbed their things and left the room. Midoriya came up to Ash.
"Did you want me to wait for you?" Midoriya asked. Before Ash got to answer, Yaoyorozu answered.
"Don't worry, me and Ash are going out when he's better so I can bring him back." Yaoyorozu said. Midoriya had a shocked expression on his face.
"Like a date?" Midoriya asked. The other heard the conversation while collecting their things and wanted to know what was going on.
"Yes." Yaoyorozu said. This shocked everyone in the room, especially Ash.
"What?" Ash asked. Yaoyorozu had a smile on her face. And Midoriya was looking for a excuse.
"Well, I see you can get yourself back Ash so I better get going bye." Midoriya said really fast while leaving the room.
"Midoriya, wait." Ash said but it was too late. Uraraka, Jiro and Hagakure were about to leave the room together.
"See you tomorrow guys. Hope the date goes well." Jiro said as they left the classroom.
"Tell me Uraraka, have you seen Ash's body before?" Hagakure asked.
"He trains shirtless on the beach all the time." Uraraka said. The girls were surprised by this fact.
"Really?" Hagakure and Jiro asked. Ashido and Sui were about to leave now.
"We'll see you two on the beach tomorrow." Ashido said.
"Ash, call me if you need anything." Sui said. But then Ashido chimed in.
"Or me." Ashido said.
"Ok, I will do. Get home safe." Ash said. Both the girls left the classroom.
"Are you going straight back home, Ashido?" Sui asked.
"Yes, of course I am." Ashido said. But she was lying. She was planning to follow Ash and Yaoyorozu around to make sure that they were keeping their hands to themselves. "What about you?"
"I'm heading home too. First day back got me all tired." Sui said. But it was another lie. Sui was planning to ask Ash out soon and she was going to follow to find out a little more about him. "Well, I'll see you tomorrow."
"Ok bye." Ashido said. They went in separate directions to find a hiding place to spy on Yaoyorozu and Ash.
Shopping Centre
Ash was sitting on a chair outside the changing rooms. When Ash recovered, Yaoyorozu stayed close to Ash in case he needed anymore support. When they got outside the school, Ash picked up his Pokemon from the big tree and returned them to the pokeballs. Pikachu returned to his spot on Ash's shoulder. Yaoyorozu dragged Ash to the shopping centre to do some clothe shopping. Ash looked at Pikachu.
"Are you enjoying yourself, buddy?" Ash asked. Pikachu gave a small yawn. "Yeah, me too." Yaoyorozu opened the curtain and Ash saw she was wearing a gold dress.
"What do you think?" Yaoyorozu asked. Ash was stunned for the moment before composing himself.
"Sorry, I was just lost for worlds for a little while." Ash said.
"So I take it I look good then?" Yaoyorozu asked. Ash only nodded. "Great, I'll keep this one to the side and buy it later." Yaoyorozu closed the curtain again to change into something else. "So Ash, tell me about yourself."
"What did you want to know?" Ash asked.
"What were you like when you were younger?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"I used to be very energetic when I was a kid. Always exploring the outdoors, camping, finding new Pokemon." Ash said.
"Oh, do you know where to find more?" Yaoyorozu asked. Ash just realised what he said and he needed to correct it.
"Did I say Pokemon? I meant to say animals." Ash said. He was hoping that Yaoyorozu will accept the correction.
"Shame, I was hoping you could show me more if there were more." Yaoyorozu said. "Ash, how are you doing now?"
"I'm doing good." Ash said.
"Are you getting comfortable with the scar on your arm now?" Yaoyorozu asked. That's what she meant.
"I'm still on edge with it. But after the others saw it in the hospital, I feel like I could show it in public soon." Ash said. Yaoyorozu was happy to hear this.
"That's great Ash. Remember not to rush yourself with this sort of thing. For you, it's a massive step." Yaoyorozu said. Ash liked that she didn't press on to see it. But then he thought if he showed one more person then he might know if he wants more people to see it.
"Did you want to see it?" Ash asked. Yaoyorozu wasn't expecting him to say that.
"See the scar?" Yaoyorozu asked. Ash got up from the chair and stood next to the curtain.
"Yeah." Ash said.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Yaoyorozu asked. Ash took a minute to think.
"Yeah." Ash said.
"Ok, how did you want to do it?" Yaoyorozu asked. Ash put his sleeve cover right arm through the curtain.
"Just undo the straps and it will slide right off." Ash said. Yaoyorozu slowly undid the straps, one by one. She grabbed the sleeve.
"Ash, last time, did you want to do this?" Yaoyorozu asked. She didn't want Ash to feel like he was being forced into anything.
"I'm sure." Ash said. Yaoyorozu slowly took off the sleeve and saw it, the scar. She couldn't believe it looked like that. She lightly stroked along the scar.
"Ash, did you get this from that exploding robot?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"Yeah, Uraraka was trapped under rubble and there wasn't enough time to get her out." Ash said. Then he started to get deep. "For a long time, I thought this scar was a reminder of how weak I was and sometimes I still do." Yaoyorozu never knew he felt this way about the scar.
"Ash, to me, this isn't a sign that shows your weak." Yaoyorozu said as she clasps her hand on to Ash's. "It's a sign of how much of a good person you are and how big your heart is." Ash slowly closed his grip on her hand and stood there for a few seconds. Ash then came back to his senses.
"Thank you Yaoyorozu." Ash said.
"You're welcome. Now keep your arm there, I'll put your sleeve back on." Yaoyorozu said. It took 10 seconds for her to put the sleeve on. Ash was going to go back to his seat. "Oh, Ash?" Ash looked at the curtain.
"Yeah?" Ash asked. Yaoyorozu held out a dress.
"Do you mind putting this back? I don't think it will work for me." Yaoyorozu said. Ash thought it be a good excuse to have a slow walk.
"Yeah." Ash said. He took the dress from her hand. "I'll be right back." Ash walked back to the section where the dress was and was going to head back to the changing room, but someone called him.
"Ash." He turned round and saw Ashido approaching him.
"Ashido, what are you doing here?" Ash asked.
"Well, Yaoyorozu texted me and said that she ran into a complication. She wanted me to look after you while she sorts everything out." Ashido said, hoping he accepts the lie.
"But she's in the changing room, trying on clothes." Ash said. Ashido had to think of something quick.
"Yeah, a zipper broke and she's waiting for staff to help her." Ashido said.
"Well, I guess these things can't be helped. Can it Pikachu?" Ash asked.
"Pika."
"Anyway Ash, if you're hungry, I know a great place to grab a bite." Ashido said as she winked at Ash. When she said this, Ash's stomach started to grumble. Ash looked embarrassed.
"I guess you got your answer." Ash laughed.
"Great, let's go" Ashido said. She grabbed Ash's arm and dragged him out the shop. Yaoyorozu came out in a new dress to show Ash.
"Ash, what do you think?" Yaoyorozu asked. She then saw Ash being dragged away by Ashido. What were they up to?
Burger JointAshido was successful in dragging Ash away and spending some alone time with him. They were sat on one of the outside tables. They had talked about so much during the walk down there. Their childhoods, their interests, where they plan to do during the weekend.
"That's how I melted 100 of my mums money." Ashido said. Ash chuckled at the story she told. That's one way of discovering your powers.
"Oh, I bet she wasn't happy." Ash said. Taking a bite out of his burger.
"No she was not." Ashido said. She had another question in her mind, but didn't know how he would react. "Ash?" Ash looked at Ashido. "You said that you used to travel back in your old world."
"Yeah I did, didn't we Pikachu?" Ash asked.
"Pikachu." Pikachu said.
"Well, what was your favourite part about travelling?" Ashido asked. Ash searched his mind. There were so many things I liked about travelling. But there was one thing he liked the most.
"I loved so many things about it, but the one thing I enjoyed the most was travelling with my friends. We would see all different things together. Landscapes, the sea, Pokemon. Everything is a lot more better when you have someone to share it with." Ash said. Ashido was so engrossed in his enthusiasm of his old world.
"That sounds so cool. But with your world filled with Pokemon, it must be difficult to only keep six." Ashido said.
"I have way more then six Pokemon." Ash said. This caught Ashido interest.
"You do?" Ashido asked. Ash dug through his pocket and pulled out a photo. He handed it to Ashido. She took it and saw Ash with all different Pokemon.
"That picture was taken before I started my journey through the Galar region." Ash said. Ashido still couldn't believe how many Pokemon Ash owns.
"You have so many. I would of loved to met them." Ashido said. She handed back the photo and Ash looked at the photo.
"Yeah, I hope I can get to see them all again one day." Ash said, sounding a bit down. Ashido picked up on it.
"Oh Ash, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad." Ashido said. Ash composed himself and put the photo away.
"It's fine. Even though I miss my world. I am enjoying my time here." Ash said. Biting more out of his burger and having a bit of sauce on his face. Ashido saw this and giggled at it.
"Ash, you got something on your face." Ashido said.
"Oh, where?" Ash asked trying to feel for it but nowhere near it.
"No it's on the other side." Ashido said. Ash moved his hand to his other cheek but still missed. "Here, let me get it." She leaned over and wiped off the sauce with a napkin. As she was wiping his face, her hand slipped on the table and was starting to fall. Ash managed to catch her in time.
"Are you ok?" Ash asked. Helping her back up.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Ashido said, looking at Ash. They only realised how close their faces were from each other.
"I never noticed that about your eye. It's like night meets day." Ash said.
"And the scars on your cheeks, they got some sort of attraction to them." Ashido said. For some reason, their faces started drawing nearer together. Before they got too close, a tray of food and drink spilt of Ashido.
"OH MY GOD!!!" Ashido said.
"Are you okayAshido?" Ash asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Ashido said. Ash looked round and saw someone on the floor. It looked like they tripped. As Ash approached the person, they turn round and saw who it was.
"Sui?" Ash asked. She looked up and saw Ash.
"Hi Ash. This is embarrassing." Sui said. Ash came over and offered her a hand.
"Here, let me help you up." Ash said. Sui took his hand and stood back up. Ashido walked over to the pair.
"Ashido, I'm so sorry, it was an accident." Sui said.
"It's fine Sui. I know you wouldn't do anything like this on purpose." Ashido said. This wasn't Sui's plan at all. She only wanted to eavesdrop on them. She didn't want them to see her. Ashido looked at Ash. "Ash, I'm going to clean myself off. I might be a while."
"Did you want me to wait for you?" Ash asked.
"You'd be waiting a long time. I think it be best if you went home now." Ashido regretfully said. Some of the stuff that was over her was sticky and would take ages to get out.
"I can walk you back Ash. In case you have another episode." Sui said.
"Are you sure?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, my house is on my way anyway." Sui said.
"Ok." Ash said. He then turned to Ashido. "I'll see you tomorrow. Call if you need anything."
"Thank you Ash,I'll see you two tomorrow." Ashido said as she walked to the bathroom. Ash turned to Sui.
"You ready?" Ash asked.
"Let's go." Sui said. Both of them started walking away. Ashido was approaching the girls room and saw Yaoyorozu was standing beside the door.
"You ok?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"Yeah." Ashido said. "Guess I sort of deserve this." Yaoyorozu just gave a grin.
"Yeah, you kind of did." Yaoyorozu said. She then opened the bathroom door. "Come on, I'll help you get clean." Ashido smiled about her understanding. Ashido went in and Yaoyorozu followed.
Street
Ash and Sui were walking back to their homes. On the way, they were having a great time talking to each other.Sui was explaining more about the Sports Festival so Ash had a better understanding of it.
"So people have to fight each other in the last event?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, and you are allowed to use your quirk as well against other people." Sui said. Ash wasmore excited about this event more then ever now.
"It should be good fun." Ash said. Then Sui remembered one of the most exhilarating things that happened at school.
"Maybe you'll get a rematch with either Todoroki or Bakugo during the festival." Sui said. Ash remembered that training course. He had to fight both of them with Greninja fighting alongside him. It was tough, but Ash and Greninja somehow won. "If that does happen, I'll be rooting for you Ash."
"Thank you Sui. And you know I'll do the same for you." Ash said. Sui smiled when he said that.
"You're the best Ash. I'm really liking my time with you. Did you want to do this again sometime?" Sui asked. She looked beside her and saw Ash wasn't there. "Ash?" She looked behind her and saw Ash looking at a building. She walked back to Ash. "Ash?"
"That's where I woke up." Ash said. Sui was confused.
"What?" Sui asked.
"When I arrived in this world, I woke up on that roof." Ash said.
"I remember now. This is the place where you and your Pokemon took down that humanoid." Sui said.
"Yeah, a whole year now." Ash said. Looking into the distance. Sui didn't realised that. Ash had been stuck on this world and away from his home for a whole year. He must miss it so much.
"Ash, I'm sorry you had to put through everything since coming here." Sui said. Feeling bad about Ash.
"It's not your fault Sui, so there's no reason to say sorry." Ash said. Then Ash remembered what happened at USJ. "But I need to say sorry to you though."
"Why?" Sui asked.
"Back at the USJ, you risked your life to save me from being taken away." Ash said.
"I'd do it anytime." Sui said.
"But you shouldn't have to do that. Sui, if anything happened to you. I don't know what I will do without you." Ash said. Sui was shocked at this statement.
"Do you mean that?" Sui said.
"Yeah." Ash said. He then looked at the building again and recounted the day. The fighting, the running, the music shop.Wait, the music shop. Ash has been meaning to visit thestore to see the owner and thank him for his stuff. "Sui, do you mind if we go somewhere first?"
"Yeah, that's no problem." Sui said.
"Great, it's just this way." Ash said. They both started walking again. Ash then looked at Sui. "Oh and Sui." Sui looked at Ash. "I'd love to hang out with you again." Sui was blushing when he said that.
Music Shop
Ash and Sui entered the shop and looked at the place. It looked dusty. What happened? When Ash was here, everything was clean and spotless. The owner came out the back room and Ash saw him.
"Hey." Ash said. The owner looked at Ash and instantly recognised him.
"Well, if it isn't the hero. Ash Ketchum. How have you been?" The owner asked.
"I've been doing very well." Ash said. "Also thank you for the gifts for my birthday." Ash said.
"You are quite welcome." The owner said. He then caught sight of Sui. "And is this your girlfriend?" This shocked both of them.
"What?" They both said.
"I'm only joking. It's very nice to meet you." The owner said. Ash thought it be good to introduce her.
"This is Asui, my girlfriend." Ash caught what he said and tried to correct himself. "I mean my friend." Ash then looked at Sui. "Sorry I said that." Sui looked at Ash with her head tilted down.
"I don't mind being your ..." Sui said. Ash didn't catch that last bit.
"What?" Ash asked. Just then, the door to the store opened up and Midoriya, Tenya, Ashido, Uraraka, Yaoyorozu, Todoroki, Ojiro, Jiro, and Hagakure came into the store. "Hey guys, didn't expect to see you here."
"We were all getting bits for the Sports Festival and we all sort of met up with each other." Midoriya said.
"Then we saw you two in here and thought to see what you guys were up to." Ashido said.
"I never seen so many people in my store for a while now." The owner said. And this came to Ash's question.
"What do you mean by that?" Ash said. The owner looked down.
"Not so many people have been coming into my store and I'm losing money. If I don't do anything soon, I'm going to lose the store." The owner said. This was bad. This guy gave Ash a lot of expensive stuff for free andhe was about to lose everything.
"That's so sad." Hagakure said.
"Is there anything we can do to help?" Tenya asked. The owner looked at them.
"It's nice of you kids wanting to help but I don't know what to do." The owner said. He looked round the store, trying to figure out something. Ash probably had a idea but it was a huge risk.
"Sir." Ash said. The owner looked at Ash. "I think I got a idea."
StreetOutside, people were just walking by, minding their own business. But on one part of the street, near the fountain, Ash and his friends were setting up a sound system to advertise the store. Ash was looking through his phone to remember his lyrics to the song. Just as he was looking through, Sui, Ashido and Yaoyorozu came up to Ash.
"Everything's all set now." Ashido said. Ash looked at them.
"Thanks." Ash said. Ash looked at the setup and looked a bit hesitant.
"What wrong?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"This would be the first time I sung out in public." Ash said. They wanted to help ease Ash.
"Ash, you a very talented person. Try not to focus on the people. Try to focus on things the make you happy." Sui said.
"That you enjoy." Yaoyorozu said.
"That you love." Ashido said. Ash took in everything they said.
"That I love?" Ash asked himself. He looked behind the girls to see the students that helped set everything up waiting for him. He then looked at Pikachu that gave Ash a smile.
"Pikapi." Pikachu said. Then Ash looked at the girls in front of him. They were smiling at him. All of a sudden, Ash saw them in a new light. One he's never seen in anyone else before. Ash felt calm and ready.
"I'm ready." Ash said. "Thank you girls." He walked past the girls and towards the setup. The owner came up to Ash.
"Ash, thank you again for doing this." The owner said.
"It's no problem. Uh, sorry after all this time, I never got your name." Ash said embarrassingly.
"It's Brian." Brian said.
"It's been nice to know you Brian." Ash said ashe continued his way to the setup. The students wished him luck and moved to the front of the show. The girls then joined the rest of the group. Ash only then just realised how much they all helped him when he got here, even the ones that don't know the whole story. Ash turned on the microphone.
"Before I start the song, this is dedicated the everyone in class 1A at UA High." Ash said. The students couldn't believe he's doing a performance for them. Ash started the music and gained some attention.
She's watching the taxi driver
He pulls away
She's been
Locked up inside her apartment
A hundred days
She says
Yeah, he's still coming
Just a little bit late
He got stuck at the laundromat
Washing his cape
At this point a crowd started to gather.
She's just
Watching the clouds roll by
And they spell her name
Like Lois Lane
And she smiles
Oh the way she smiles
She's talking to angels
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers
Falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms
Yeah
In his arms
Yeah
And waiting for Superman
Ash's confidence had improved and start to make the show his own.
She's out on the corner
Trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing's making sense
She's been
Chasing an answer
A sign lost in the abyss
This Metropolis
She says
Yeah, he's still coming
Just a little bit late
He got stuck at the Five and Dime
Saving the day
She says
If life was a movie
Then it wouldn't end like this
Left without a kiss
Still she smiles
Oh the way she smiles
Yeah
She's talking to angels
She's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms
Yeah
In his arms
Yeah
She's waiting for Superman
To lift her up
And take her anywhere
Show her love
And climbing through the air
Save her now
Before it's too late tonight
Ash looked at his friends and saw how proud they were of him. And he was happy that he can always count on them. If that's the case then he didn't need to hide anything anymore. Ash looked at his sleeve and started to undo it. His friends saw this and were thinking was he actually about to do this.
"Do it Ash." Midoriya said.
Oh
Like a speeding light
And she smiles
Ash rips his sleeve off and threw it away. The crowd cheered for him.
She's talking to angels
She's counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms
Yeah
In his arms
Yeah
The group came running up to Ash and joined in with the performance.
She's waiting for Superman
To lift her up
Ash lifted up Sui off the ground with one arm and spun her round.
And take her anywhere
Ash put Sui down.
Show her love
Ash put his hand on to Yaoyorozu's hand and held each other.
And climbing through the air
Ash let go.
Save her now
Ash came up to Ashido put his head against hers.
Before it's too late tonight
Ash brought his head back andlooked back at the crowd.
She's waiting for Superman
The song finished and there was a huge round of applause. Ash and the group were interacting with each other, feeling the experience from that show. Ash then spoke into the microphone.
"Thank you for watching. All equipment used here was provided by Insane Tunes Store that's located right behind you." Ash said. As soon as he said that, a handful of people went into the store. Brian looked and had a smile on his face.
"I owe that kid big time now." Brian said.
Midoriya's place/ Weekend Before The Sports Festival
There was a knock on Midoriya's home door. Midoriya heard it and approached the door. He opened it and saw the gang.
"Hey Midoriya." Tenya said.
"We were planning to go to the movies and wondering if you and Ash wanted to come." Uraraka said. Midoriya had a smile on his face, liking the idea.
"Yeah sure, I'll call Ash now." Midoriya said. He looked behind him. "Ash, our friends are here." Inko came into the room.
"Hi everyone. You looking for Ash?" Inko asked. Everyone nodded. "I'm sorry but Ash is gone for the weekend."
"What, where's he gone?" Midoriya asked.
Forest
Ash had set up camp in the middle of the forest. His Pokemon were out and was relaxing in their own way. Ash was feeling home sick and wanted to do something he used to do. He was getting comfortable with this world but there's not a day where he doesn't miss his home. As he was thinking, he heard footsteps. He looked up and he saw his friends coming towards him with sleeping bags.
"What are you guys doing here?" Ash asked.
"We're keeping you company." Ojiro said.
"And hoping you can tell us stories." Yaoyorozu said. Ash didn't know what she meant by that.
"I don't know any good stories." Ash said.
"Ash, we know about you coming from another world." Todoroki said. Ash was shocked.
"How do you know about that?" Ash asked. Midoriya started sweating.
"I accidentally let it slip out. Sorry." Midoriya said. Ash knew he could never be mad at Midoriya for these mishaps.
"It's fine. So you want to hear about stories about my adventure?" Ash asked. Everyone nodded. Sui and Ashido sat next to Ash and Yaoyorozu sat next to Ashido. Midoriya, Uraraka and Tenya sat on side and Todoroki and Ojiro sat on the other side. "Let's see, what to tell. Oh, here's one. The time I won a race on a Pokemon called a Rapidash." Ash started to recount the memories and everyone was so invested in the stories. They camped for the whole weekend. And when they got back, it was time for the Sports Festival.
That finishes the chapter.
Sorry for the long wait, but as I mentioned in my JusticeFor Ash story. Bad case of writers block. But I'm back now.
I'll be working Justice For Ash for a chapter then I'll be back here to write 'Roaring Sports Festival.'
