Chapter 6: A Brawl On Thin Ice
Serena then thought to herself saying this is it. "Here I go" she said to herself
"Ash?"
"Yes?"
"D-d-do y-y-you?" Serena stuttered out.
"Yes?"
"Do you...remember me?" Serena finally said. Ash gasped at the request while Pikachu and Fletchling saw this as a personal matter and went with the others.
"Think back to we when we went back to camp in Pallet Town I did too,that's where we met. Serena explained. "At camp?" Ash said still shocked. That's right,we met at Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp. Serena said. Ash then remembered many memories from his childhood. "Hey I remember that camp." He said. "You do?" Serena said happily. He may remember her. "Yea of course, I went to it." Ash said. "I know and that because I went there as well." Ash then tried to remember where she seen her. "She does seem familiar but I was only close to...I don't know... could she?" Ash remember only one person he was just as close to as his mother back then.
"Ash?" Serena said worried about him. "Oh I'm sorry,You do seem similar and I'm trying to remember but I just don't." Ash said sadly. He really tried to remember but just can't. Serena felt her heart sink as heard she heard this and hung her head low.
"I'm sorry" Ash apologized while Serena still hung her head low. "I never asked,what's your name?" Ash asked. Serena felt dumb for forgetting to tell him her name. Then apologized before speaking.
" Serena my name's Serena Yvonne." She introduced. As soon as she said that Ash felt many flashbacks run though his head and the last one was a meaningful one.
(Flashback)
two young children were sitting around a campfire late at night. "Thanks for saving me today Ash." Said a young Serena. "It was nothing umm... I'm sorry I never did get your name. Ash said. "Ohh um right, it's Serena,Serena Yvonne." She introduced. "Serena Yvonne,that's a pretty name. Ash said while scratching his cheek. Meanwhile Serena blushed by his compliment until a cold breeze came in. She shivered and Ash saw that she was cold. He then grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around her. Serena felt happy by this but didn't want to be greedy so she got closer to Ash and wrapped the blanket around him. They then wrapped their arms around each other for comfort. "You know...I didn't want to come to this camp,I never could fit in or even make friends." Serena said with tears in her eyes. "Well you made a friend in me,Serena." Ash grinned happily. Serena's blush went deeper before thinking."And I hope we can be more,Ash" She thought to herself as the two gaze at the stars that night.
"I-I-It can't be" Ash said as he felt like he got hit by a ton of brinks.
"Ash?" Serena said with a worried tone in her voice.
"Serena? Is it really you?" Ash said. From there Serena's heart rose back up knowing that Ash just remembered her.
"Ha I knew you would remember." She said. Then she did something unexpected. She threw herself at him and wrapped her arms around very tightly. Ash was shocked by this at first but slowly he returned the hug as he did the same.
"I missed you." Serena said happily with tears in her. She was really happy to reunite with Ash. "I missed you too." Ash said. He enjoyed seeing his best friend once again. "How've you been Serena?" Ash asked. "Oh, I've been good." Serena said. Meanwhile Pikachu and Fletchling returned from their break. There they were eagerly waiting to resume training. "Well I suppose you need to considtrate on training. We can catch up later. I gotta say that you were awesome during your gym battle." Serena said praising Ash for his battle. "Yeah,but I totally blew it back there." Ash said. "Don't be hard on yourself. I remember what you said the last time we were together. Never give up until the end. You're obviously not gonna give up. You're still the same Ash I know. Serena said. While Ash thought at her words and realized she was right. He wasn't gonna give up,not when he just started. Meanwhile Drake looked over at the two and smiled knowing that those two must have some history together.
"I'm not gonna give up. That's just not me at all." Ash said while hugging Serena,thanking her for the encouragement. "Thanks Serena you're a big help." Ash said. "Anytime Ash,Anytime." She said blushing deeply while returning the hug to Ash. "Hey Drake,lets resume." Ash said. "Sure but first let's go over a few things." Drake said while Ash wondered what he wanted to asked. Putting the elephant in the room aside Drake said,"Alright you saw what Viola can do and how she can use a field to her advantage. What can you do?" Drake asked "Well that's the thing,if I can't move freely my choices to attack are limited." Said Ash while Drake just smirked. "But you can still use it to your advantage as much as hers." Drake said.
"How?" Ash said feeling Confused.
"Simple, if you can't cross her lines. Let her lines cross you." Drake said "By simply using her field against her." He continued while Ash started to understand what he was saying. "Do you know what I'm saying?" Drake asked. "Yep,and I already have a few ideas." Ash said. "Great you can practice those right now." Drake said as he made his way to his side of the field.
"Ready?"
"Ready."
"Pidgeot go!" Pidgeot then fired a Gust towards the two Pokémon.
Night fell in Santalune City and the after a long day of training,the group was currently having dinner at the local Pokémon Center. Ash had introduced Serena to the group as his childhood best friend and they were much obliged to meet her. While still having dinner Drake then changed the subject. "Well that takes care of the Ice battlefield,Gust and,Psychic,now all we need is Sticky Web. "Drake said while chowing down a plate of spaghetti. "Hahaha, you leave that to me ok,meet me outback when you're done." Clemont said as he left to the battlefield again. "Alright Pikachu and Fletchling it's back to training after we eat." Ash said while eating the same meal as his brother while his Pokémon were enjoying their own meal. Meanwhile Serena looks at the confident trainer and thinks to herself. "After all these years you're still the same energetic Ash that I know of." She said in her head while smiling at him.
On the battlefield the group then looks at Clemont who was standing next to some sort of contradiction. "In order to help with your current predicament I made this machine to do just that. The future is now thanks to science and the power of technology. CLEMONTIC GEAR on." Clemont then unveiled a dust cover revealing some sort of cannon with eyes attached to a glass container of some sort of white substance. "I call it The Sticky Web Sticky Wicked Whacker Wonk." Clemont introduced with pride while Serena and Bonnie were confused by the name. "I would've just called it The Sticky Blaster or something." Drake thought to himself, believing the name Clemont chose was quite a mouthful. "This device can shoot Sticky Web matching it on a DNA level that's reconstructs its,stickiness,color,smell,and nutrients to a Tee." Clemont explained. "Alright thanks Clemont. Ash thanked for his help. "Get ready,fire!" Clemont then pull a lever and the cannon fired two shots. "Dodge it." Pikachu and Fletchling did that and dodge both hurling towards them. "This is what I called Training with Science. Fire,Fire,Fire!" Clemont then pull the lever constantly making the cannon fire multiple shots. Meanwhile Pikachu and Fletchling continue to dodge the incoming shots. After a few minutes Clemont then turned it up a notch. "Not bad. I you haven't experienced my device at full power." The eyes of the machine then turn red. "Maximum level and fire." But the machine didn't fire anything leaving everyone puzzled. "Huh something's not right." Clemont said until the started to rumble. Clemont got startled and push the angle of the cannon to a 90 degrees. Not long after the cannon fired five shots upward and came back down into the mouth of the cannon blocking it. The pressure then build up to an unstable level and Clemont ran back knowing what's gonna happen next leaving everyone surprised. The cannon exploded and when the smoke cleared everyone was dirty and their hair was all puffy,everyone of course except Drake who use his Aura to shield himself. "Looks like another machine went boom." Said Bonnie who was still dizzy. "Ohhh Why,Why!" Clemont cried out,looking over his destroyed invention.
"Well if that's the case,Froakie I choose you." Ash then releases the Bubble Frog Pokémon. "If you attack us with your frubbles it'll be like getting attack with Sticky Web." Froakie then continuously fired its frubbles at Pikachu and Fletchling while both of them dodge each shot. "Wow I didn't know Ash had a Froakie before." Serena admitted. "That Froakie is from Professor Sycamore Pokémon Lab." Bonnie told her. "Just like my Fennekin." After a couple of minutes Pikachu and Fletchling think they had enough practice. "Alright I think we're ready for tomorrow." Ash said,calling it a day. "Row,Row,Row,go team you can do it." Bonnie said all the sudden and Clemont knew what she needed. "Bonnie I think it's bedtime." Clemont said while taking Bonnie inside. "Alright I'm going inside too." Drake said before going inside feeling tired. "While Ash was mending his Pokémon Serena then approach him. "It must take a lot of work and skill to earn a Gym Badge doesn't it." She said. "Yep it does, what about you? What's your plan?" Ash asked. "Well... to be honest I don't know. I know I have Fennekin but I don't know what my next step will be." Serena said calmly. "There's no rush. Take your time and you'll figure out what to do." Said Ash. "I will thank you Ash." She thanked Ash. "Anytime." They then went to the room to discover Drake sitting in a chair with Clemont and Bonnie already asleep. "Hey I was waiting for you two. Well there's two beds left and three of us so you guys can have them while I rolled down my sleeping bag and sleep on the floor." Drake explained. "Are you sure?" Ash asked. "Yes,to be honest I've been sleeping on the ground more often then on a mattress over the years." Drake insisted. Then Drake snuggled in his sleeping bag and went to sleep. Meanwhile Ash and Serena dressed into their pajamas and each took a bed.
"Goodnight Ash" she happily send.
"Goodnight Serena." He returned the gesture.
The next day we find the group at the Santalune Gym with Ash and Viola already in battle positions. "So lets see how strong you gotten." Viola stated. "Trust me Viola,this time I'll win and get my first Kalos Gym Badge." Ash vowed.
"Not without a fight,Surskit lets go." Viola then took her poke ball and released the Pond Skater Pokémon. "Pikachu lets go" Ash then calls Pikachu up to battle.
Ash vs. Viola: Two on Two
"Alright Pikachu use thunderbolt" Pikachu then charged and fired at Surskit. "Dodge it." Surskit then slid to side avoiding it. "Use Quick attack." Pikachu then glow whited and charged at Surskit. "Use Sticky Web go" Surskit then fired multiple gunks of web towards Pikachu. "Keep going and dodge all of them." With the training from yesterday Pikachu had no problem avoiding Sticky Web. Viola was shocked to see this. This was not gonna be like last time. Pikachu managed to avoid the last of Sticky Web and managed to land a successful Quick Attack. "Surskit are you ok?" The Quick Attack did some damage but Surskit managed to remain strong. "Good,now it's time. Use Ice Beam on the field." Viola said. "Don't let her use Ice Beam." Pikachu then jump on Surskit trying to prevent Surskit from freezing the field. The struggle caused Surskit to fire Ice Beam in random directions freezing a few trees and the lights above. Then Surskit managed to shake Pikachu off and freeze the field afterwards. Aww the field is frozen again" Bonnie said feeling this is like last time. "Don't worry Ash has prepared for this." Serena said feeling confident about Ash. Pikachu tried to stand on the ice but kept on slipping but it didn't stop Ash. "Alright, use Iron Tail to jump and attack." Pikachu then use his tail as a spring and jump high before coming back down to attack with Iron Tail. "Dodge it" Surskit then slid backwards to avoid. The attack crumbled the ice sending chucks of it in mid air,there Ash put his plan in motion. "Quick use Iron Tail to use the ice chucks as projectiles." Pikachu then changed up another Iron Tail,jumped up,and send the chucks of ice towards Surskit. "Quick dodge it." Surskit then dodge in a zigzag manner unknowingly that's what Ash wanted. "Gotcha,Pikachu use Thunderbolt." Pikachu manage to keep track of Surskit and launched a powerful Thunderbolt from above,hitting it making it super effective. The smoke cleared revealing a fainted Surskit leaving Viola shocked.
"Surskit is unable to Battle,Pikachu wins." Said the referee
"Huh impressive Ash." Said Alexa
"how did Ash know?" Asked Serena. "By using the ice chunks as projectiles,Ash knew Surskit would do a maneuver predictable enough for Pikachu to to land a successful hit. "Incredible Ash really use her field in his favor." Said Clemont.
"Thanks Surskit take a nice rest. Huh I'm impressed you managed to pull that off." Viola said. "Thanks,now its time to beat your other Pokémon. Ash stated. "Don't think it'll be that easy. Go Vivillion." Viola then released her next Pokémon and continue. "Alright Fletchling use Peck." Fletchling then tried to attack using his beak. "Dodge it" Vivillion ascended to dodge it. "Quickly while she's cornered use Steel Wing." Fletchling then attacked with Steel Wing while Vivillion was still ascending making the attack land successfully,pushing Vivillion back. "Quick use Gust." Vivillion then created strong winds but Fletchling was prepared by using its Tail feathers to control the air flow around it.
"Looks like yesterday's training is paying off." Said Serena. "Don't count this as a win yet." Drake said.
"Alright use Peck." Fletchling then tried to attack with Peck. When Fletchling got close,Viola smirked. "Use Sleep Powder. "Vivillion then released green spores to make Fletchling tired. "Quick fly up." Fletchling then reacted fast enough to get high enough away from the Sleep Powder. "I didn't know Vivillion could use Sleep Powder. I'll need to try something." Everyone saw Ash looked worried and that made them worried as well,but then Serena spoke up at the right time. "No,Don't give never give up until the end. Remember your training from yesterday!" She said loud enough for Ash to hear. Suddenly Ash had an idea. "Alright Fletchling fly ahead." Ash said. "This again? Oh well. Vivillion use Psychic." Viola said. "Fletchling Double Team!" Fletchling then created many copies and Vivillion's Psychic wound up hitting one of them. "Alright use Peck." All the copies then use Peck and charged. Vivillion couldn't tell which copy was the real one and that's when a Peck attack came from above,knocking Vivillion into the Ice battlefield. "No Vivillion! "Vivillion then tried to takeoff but realized that her right wing had been frozen from the impact. "No,How can this be?!" Viola question. "Now finish this with Razor Wind." Fletchling then charged up and fired at the downed butterfly knocking it out. The smoke had finally cleared which showed a fainted Vivillion.
"Vivillion is unable to battle,Fletchling wins and the match goes to Ash of Pallet Town." Said the referee declaring Ash the winner.
"Alright." Said everyone from the group
"You guys did amazing work. I'm proud of you." Ash said to his Pokémon.
"Well Ash I lost to you fair and square. Good job."
"Thanks Viola."
"Here is proof of your victory here,the Bug Badge." Said Viola while giving Ash a badge that resembles a small brown bug. "Thanks"
"Alright I just got the Bug Badge!" Ash presented his new badge along with Pikachu and Fletchling before putting it in his Badge Case.
Outside the Gym the group says goodbye to Alexa and Viola. "Well Ash any thoughts on where to have your next Gym Battte?" Alexa asked. "Huh,I never really thought of that." Ash said. "If I can make a suggestion. Why not the Gym at Cyllage City." Said Viola "Ok Cyllage City Gym it is." Ash accepting her suggestion. Where I just we better get going." Ash continued. "Take care Ash and don't you and Drake go after rampaging Pokémon and giant robots on top of towers,ok?" Ash and Drake were surprised by these before they spoke.
"Wait,you knew?" Drake asked
"Not just her I knew as well and let me just say while what you guys did was boulder line crazy. You two have got to be the bravest trainers I've met especially you Drake. Viola smiled
"Oh umm thanks I guess." Said Drake at the sudden compliment
"And not just her but all of Kalos as well. The story of that night made regional news. There isn't gonna be a single trainer in Kalos who don't know who you guys are. Alexa said.
"Well hopefully we don't get bombarded with questions if that happens,right Ash?" Drake said. "Hopefully." Ash said before continuing "well we gotta get going. Take care you two." Ash said as they all walk away. "Goodbye and good luck everyone." Both sisters said before heading back inside. In the lobby Viola then pick up a portrait of the group along with herself and Alexa. Then Alexa started getting back to business.
"So you think Drake is kinda hot huh?" Alexa said trying get under her sister skin.
"It just an observation,ok?" Viola admitted
"So...no strings attached?" Alexa continue
"Positive"
"Are you sure." She pressed the matter
"look,when you first met him. Did you think he was kinda hot?" Viola asked
"Well I'm not gonna lie,yes when I first make Drake I thought he was kinda hot." Alexa confessed.
"See just cuz I see a good looking guy doesn't mean I gain a crush on him." Viola said.
"You don't know Drake."
"Really what don't I know?" Viola asked. Then Alexa whispered in Viola ear. When she pull back Viola was shocked.
"WHAT you mean I met the Kanto Regional Champion!"
"Not just that." Alexa then whispered in her ear again and pulled back.
"And he's an Aura Guardian!" Viola screamed
"pretty much but keep that to yourself ok. We don't want to make Ash and Drake think they can't trust us." Alexa said in a serious manner.
"Got it."
"Sooo... no strings
"No,it was just an observation." Viola said once again.
"Ok,got it." Alexa said as she and Viola went outside into the city.
