It was a Quiet Night in the Pokemon Center where everyone already slept but not for one trainer who sat in the Chair staring outside the Moon in Night Sky. HIs Name Ash, After free Butterfree to let him have his LIfe, Ash continued his Journey to the Saffron City to Challenge the Gym Challenge but Lance needed to go to HQ in who knows where leaving him in front of the Gate of Saffron CIty.
Ash touched his forehead where Lance had kissed him. It was burning where his lip was touching him but for some reason he didn't understand why he had these sensations. He exhaled, shook his head, slapped his cheek with both of his hands startling Pikachu in his Lap.
'No, No! Focus on the Gym Challenge!' He though in determined
[Pika?] "What's wrong?" Pikachu asked tilted his head
Ash scratched his Chin make him purred,"Nothing."
[Pika, Pi, Pika, Chu?] "Have you decided which Pokemon you want to use in Gym?"
Ash sighs in defeat,"I didn't know anything about Psychic Pokemon."
[Pika,pi..] "Mewtwo. Strongest Psychic Pokemon."
"I can't. If I let him into the Field, He destroyed the Gym Leader with one Move."
Pikachu tilted his head in confusion,[Pika,Pi?] "Isn't that good?"
Ash chuckled, stroking Pikachu soft fur,"It's Unfair, Pikachu."
Speaking of the Unfair. He also for some reason can feel the Psychic Power in the City. There is no doubt that the Gym Leader, Sabrina has Psychic Power. He can not send Pikachu to the Field but at least he will try his Best to let Pikachu into the Field and if he can not then i will send Mewtwo into the Field.
On Morning, Ash was staring at the Majestic Building of the Psychic Gym Building in silence with Pikachu who perched on his Shoulder and Lucario by his side only turn around when they sense someone come to them.
"Are you gonna challenge the Gym Leader?" A Man wearing a hat asked in the middle of the Jogging
"Yes. Who are you?" Ash asked
"I'm No one, You may be participating in the Pokemon League but it's best to avoid this Place."
Ash smirked,"Is it because she is Psychic?"
The Man halted jogging in the place looking at Ash,"I can sense you have power. Who are you?"
Ash smirked and lashed out his Aura making the Ground crack under his pressure make the man wide-eyed in surprise.
"I'm Ash Ketchum, A Trainer and Aura Guardian in Training." Ash informed him locked his power again
"Aura Guardian. I heard they are Extinct but it seems I was mistaken."
"So, Who are you?" Ash asked
"I'm Sabrina Father. Do you mind if we talk?" He took off his hat
Ash listened to Sabrina Father's story about what happened to the Gym Leader and honestly it was a Pity but well, he understood why she was obsessed because He also didn't have friends except his Family and he didn't dare to drive them away.
"I see. Let me recap the story. Sabria is so obsessed with her Power and drives everything away until she even turns her own mother into a Doll..."
Sabrina's father nod made Ash sigh and asked after a few seconds,"So, What happened after that? "
"There are 2 girls in her. One who is a Lonely Girl who desperately wants friends and the other one who is a troublemaker Gym Leader. I need you to go into Lavender City and catch Ghost Pokemon."
"Why?"
"Because they can bring Laughter to Sabrina, If she can laugh she will return to Normal. Please help her!"
Ash looked at the Fathers who asked him to save his Daughter, He took a deep breath and nodded in determination.
"Okay. I will save her!" Ash declared,"Speaking of the Mischievous. I have one perfect Pokemon.."
Sabrina's father only stays quiet in confusion until they come to the Gym Building. Ash entered the Building and saw Sabrina and her Doll.
"You come. Aura Guardian." She said break the silence
Ash narrowed his eyes,"Ash Ketchum from Masara Town, Come to Challenge for the Badge!"
She floats into the Ground,"One Pokemon each."
"Deal!" Ash nod
Sabrina takes out her Pokemons, Alakazams,"Bring your Pokemon out!"
Before Ash can speak Mew Pokeball twitch makes her come out from the Ball make him yelp, She floats in front of Ash shocking Sabrina and Sabrina Father.
"Mew." Sabrina father stunned
[Mew, Mew, Mew] She giggled and floated into Sabrina and made a Bubbled with changing into numerous Pokemons. She jumps up and down with her Pokemons until She makes a Big Balloon and it explodes right in front of Sabrina and Mew makes them scorched.
"Mew!" Ash squeaked
Mew blink one, twice then giggled followed by Sabrina who her lip turned into a Smile and give a laughter make Ash blink and Sabrina Father crying in Touched saw Sabrina Laughter make her Pokemon also fall in Laughter become of the Telepathic.
Ash is glad that Mew can give laughter and light to Sabrina's eyes.
In the end, She give him the Marsh Badge to Ash with Sabrina who released her Mother make the family united again in Harmony
XXXXXX
Ash was at rest eating Lunch looking at the Canyon in front of him where there is no one in the Path. He already walked for about 3 days to Mountain Cliff to the next Gym Challenge, Celadon Gym in Celadon City for his Rainbow Badge for the League.
He already has 4 Badges with him while the League needs 8 Badges. He needs to Hurry and speaking of the League, Ash needs to shorten his Pokemons for his Team. First, He has Pikachu, Gyarados, Lucario, Beedrill after evolved perfectly from Weedle to Kakuna the last to Beedrill and the last is Charmander who already evolved into Charmeleon. He has 5 Pokemon in his Team that he is gonna use in League.
Ash eats Onigiri in silence with the Legendary who is also eating Poke Food until he senses someone Aura hiding behind the Rock make him look up and see Mankey, A Primeape Pokemon staring at his Food make Ash smile.
"Hi. Do you want a Food? Come here.." Ash pour Poke Food into the Empty Paper Bowl
Primeape go to him and eat the Food in delighted make Ash smiled and after eating Ash touched Primape head give a Warm Aura to him
"Say, I can sense you are a strong Mankey. Do you want to come with me?" Ash asked
Primeape gives a nod, makes Ash grin and touch it's head to the Ball, making it absorbed into the Ball. Ash give a wave of calm aura to it make it calm down in there
"Nice to meet you, Primeape." Ash whispered to him and chained the Pokeball in his Belt
"Are we going, now?" Raikou asked
"Yup." Ash stand up nodding
He hopped into Raikou and he began to Run in fast pace into Celadon City. The first thing he needs to go to is the Pokemon Center to let Raikou have full power again. Ash, PIkachu, and Lucario can see Celadon City in front of them, make him hopped down from Raikou and put him back into his Pokeball.
"Let's go, Lucario, Pikachu." Ash said to them
They walk into the Celadon City Pokemon Center and earn a Look because of Lucario since they didn't know what kind Pokemon Lucario is. Ash enter the Pokemon Center saw Nurse Joy
"Please take care of him please." Ash put Raikou Pokeball into the Tray
"I will." She took the Pokeball
Ash looked around the Pokemon Center in silence waiting for Raikou, It was still Morning 9 O'Clock, there were not many people in the Center. He sat there in silence. If Lance is beside him, He has many things to talk and speak of Lance. Ash took out his Pokedex showing his Keychain make him soften slightly
He got yanked out from his thoughts when Nurse Joy called his name to make Ash stand up and go to the Front Desk and took the Pokeball from Nurse Joy.
"Oh Yeah, I remember that i got a Parcel from Champion Lance for Trainer Ash Ketchum." Nurse Joy said in remembered
"From Lance?" Ash asked
Nurse Joy handed out the Parcel to Ash who took it. He gave a grateful nod to Nurse Joy and decided to open it in the Courtyard. He opens the Parcel showing a Hat made Ash raise one of his eyebrows.
"What?" He asks in a confused look at the Hat,"Last time is KeyChain and Hat?"
Lucario who understands what happened can only smirk in Understanding,"It's a Courtesy Gift."
Ash looked at the Pokemon like he grew another Head,"It's a Court what?"
Lucario rolled his eyes,"It's a Courtesy Gift, It's a Gift if the Opponent Person adored his or Her partner. It is clear that Lance is fond of you and wants to properly court you."
Ash can feel his Cheek heated up and he no need to ask because the way Pikachu and Lucario look has already confirmed it, He cleared his throat.
"How-How do you know?" He asked in embarrassed
"In My time, When the Male person fancies the Female. He will give a courtesy gift and if she accepts the gift then they will begin the Courtesy until the Time is come but if the female is refused the gift then that means the male gets rejected."
"Time?" Ash squeak with furious blush,"What time?"
Pikachu and Lucario rolled their eyes with Pikachu who answered,[Pika, Pikachu] "Time until Marriage of course."
"I, Uh. T-Then, What should i do with this?" Ash asked in flustered, then he yelped,"More Importantly, I'm still 12 years old!"
"It's time for the Courtesy Begin, Courtesy is to get to know their Partner much better. Something like that." Lucario answered
[Pika, Pi] "You can send things you like."
Ash looks at his pokemons in silence then at the Gift, He looks at the Morning Sky in deep thought. He often wondered about Lance smell, A Cinnamon Wood and a Forest Smell. In this relationship, Lance is of course the Dominant one while he is the Submissive one so he needs to send a gift back as the response that he accepts the Courtesy from Lance but what is good for him? He is Champion.
Ash stood up and decided to go look around the City since he decided to stay in the City for the Night. He wandered around until he arrived in the Perfume Shop make himi enter the Shop,
"Welcome. Did you look for Perfume?" One of the Female Workers asked
"Ah yes, Well. I'm Looking for a nice smelling perfume for Gift." Ash answered
"Well then, Please call me Erika. Let me see the Perfume." She gestured to him to sit in the Seat.
Ash sat in the Seat with Pikachu sitting beside him, Lucario decided to stay in his Pokeball. Erika puffs a Perfume in Ash's wrist and makes him sniff it.
"Oh, It's like a Flower Smell, A Spring Smell." Ash comment
"It's the most popular one in this Shop." She informed him
[Pika, Pi] "It smells just like your Aura. Spring Smell.."
'Courtesy is to get to know their Partner much better'
Lucario's words echoed in his mind and made him nod in decision. Ash looks at the Perfume Bottle. Ash got out from the Shop with the Perfume Bottle in his Arm. He didn't want to know if it was a good thing or not since the Smell is the same as his Aura.
Well, what is done is done. It's time for him to have a Pokemon Battle for his Rainbow Badge after Lunch, Ash planned. He walks back into the Pokemon Center where Ash bought the Lunch then he takes out his Pokemon except his Legendary Pokemons then he goes to the Backyard to make sure that the Legendary got Eat to fullest.
"After this, We're gonna battle with the Gym Leader. Pikachu, Pidgeott, Chameleon." Ash said to his pokemons
After eating Lunch, Ash and Pikachu go to the Gym. Ash blinked when he saw the Worker from the Shop in the Gym make him wide eyes.
"You are that Onee-san from Shop!" Ash point it out in surprised
"Oh! Are you a Trainer?" She asked
"Yes, I have come to challenge the Gym Leader. "
" Our Gym Leader. Erika. Follow me"
Ash follows the Worker to the Deeper Gym, He is amazed by the numerous Plant Pokemon and the Plants in there. It is obviously weak against the Fire type He mused. He arrived in the Field where Erika was.
"Are you a Trainer that want to challenge me?" Erika asked
"I'm Ash Ketchum from Masara Town and I want to challenge myself to get a Rainbow Badge!"
"We're gonna use 3 Pokemon, is that Deal?"
"Deal!"
"Gym Leader, Erika Versus Trainer Ash Ketchum from Masara Town. Battle Begins!"
Erika sends out her Tangela while Ash sends out his Charmeleon to the Ground. This time he uses Logic, Grass is weak against the Fire.
"Charmeleon! Use Slash!" Ash command
[Char!] He use slash only got dodge by Tangela
"Tangela, Stun Spore!"
"Burn them using Flame Burst then use Flamethrower!"
Chameleon let out a Burst of flame and the Spore exploded like a Firework making Erika and Tangela caught off-guard then in that moment Charmeleon used Flamethrower to make Tangela make it knocked out.
"Come back Tangela! Go Weepinbell!" She let out her last Pokemon
"Charmeleon, Can you still continue?" Ash asked
[Char, Char!] "Of course!"
He has a determined look and Ash can feel their Bond is become much stronger, Ash smiles.
"Weepinbell, Razor Leaf now!" Erika command
"Flamethrower at full blast!" Ash command
The Leaf got burned by the Fire make a small Meteor of Fire
"And the Last! Flame Burst!"
Chameleon gives a full blast of Flame to Weepinbell to make it get knocked out, Ash gives a smile to Chameleon who grins.
"Return Weepinbell, Go! Gloom!"
A Plant Pokemon gets out from the Pokeball, sends off a really Smelly Smell into the Gym, Charmeleon gets knocked out, makes Ash take him back into his Pokeball, He wants to take off his Pidgeotto only to be interrupted by Rocket Team.
"Rocket Team!" Ash claimed
They want to steal the Perfume but Meowth makes an Explosion that makes the Gym get burned because of the Explosion and don't forget that everything is a Dry Leaf so the Fire is fast to Spread.
They managed to save the Pokemons and the Children inside with Ash who managed to get out from the Gym.
"Go, Gyarados!" Ash throws the Ball showing Gyarados,"Full Power, Rain Dance!"
He give Roar to the Night Sky make the Cloud gathered up to make a Cloudy Sky, Ash saw an Frantic Erika make him ask her but she didn't found her Gloom
"What, What if Gloom is still inside?" Erika asked in worried want to run to the Burning Building only got hold by Ash
"I will go! Wait Here!" Ash said to him
He run to the inside of the Burning Building with his Sleeve covering his Nose, Suicune get out from his Pokeball using her Water Ability to dimmed the fire from Ash to not got Burned while he use his Aura sight to sense the Living Aura until he found Gloom terrified at the Fields, He run int here only gasped when the Ceiling got destroyed almost destroyed only got levitate and destroyed before in his eyes make him turn around
"Onii-Chan! Lucario!" Ash claimed
"You're Reckless!" Mewtwo Said in huffed
"I can not die young, Ash." Lucario said in exhaled
Ash chuckled and walked to Gloom sending a wave of Calming Aura to make it calm down, He crouched down in front of him.
"Hey, Erika is waiting for you. Let's go!" Ash spread out his arm
He gets out from the Building with Lucario on his side and Invincible Lucario, Suicune, already goes back into his Pokeball with Gloom in his arm.
"Erika!" Ash call the Gym Leader
"Ash! Gloom!" Erika took Gloom from Ash's arm,"Oh, You're fine! Thank you, Ash!"
"No Problem!" He noticed that it was raining and made him walk to Gyarados, rubbing his head,"God Job, You save us, Today."
[Gya..] "Are you okay?" He asked
"Yes, Good Job, Go rest." Ash tap his head with his Pokeball
The Morning is coming with Help of a firefighter . The Fire already got dimmed and Officer Jenny who looked at the Crime Scene, Erika gave the Rainbow Badge to Ash as gratitude and besides if the Battle continued She knew that she would lose anyway.
"Great! My new Badge!" Ash grin
He went back into the Pokemon Center to pack his things, He didn't manage to sleep but at least he got his Badge. Ash adjusted his Backpack in his Back and he didn't forget to send the Parcel through the Pokemon Center to Champion Lance from him.
'I hope that he gets the Parcel.' Ash though walk outside from pokemon Center
He walks out from the City to the forest where there are not many people in there and letting out Suicune who bend down let Ash hop into her back.
"Where to go next?" She asked
Ash open his Pokedex humed and close it, "Fuchsia Gym to got my Soul Badge"
-On Johto Champion HQ-
Lance of Blackthorn has just received a Message from Pokemon Center that someone named Ash Ketchum has sent him a Parcel to make him go into Pokemon Center as soon as possible therefore he's now staring at the Parcel Box in front of him who sit innocently.
Screw it, He though tearing the Parcel open one by one until it showing a Cardbox make Lance open the Cardbox showing a Perfume Bottle and a Plastic Bag of Poke Food and a Letter make him Open the Letter.
'Dear Lance,
I hope that you like it. I know Dragonite likes my poke food therefore i send some of my Poke Food to her and speaking of the Present i love the Hat, Thank you.
This Perfume is from Celadon City with Erika Gym Leader suggesting it.
Pikachu told me that the Perfume is smell similar to my Aura. Maybe that's why the Pokemons are near me also i Like Spring, flowers and Night Sky.
What about you?
Yours,
Ash Ketchum
Lance puffed the Perfume and inhaled it, He didn't really like Perfume but for some reason this Smell is like Ash smell and it seems Dragonite also likes the smell with her who chirping in delight make him chuckled. He look outside the Window from his Tower can't wait to see the Boy again someday.
