Chapter 14:Tactics of the Ninja

The gang spent some time in the Pokémon Center to have their Pokémon checked out by Nurse Joy. "So what should we do for the time being?" Clemont asked. "Well for now, I guess all we can do is be patient." Said Ash. After Nurse Joy checked their Pokémon and all is well,the gang then set off down Route 5 to get to Cyllage City for Ash's next Gym Badge. After keeping the pace up for four hours,everyone agreed to stop and have lunch. After setting everything up,Clemont and Drake made a lunch that's completely new to Ash and Drake. "So what did we make Clemont?" Drake asked as he sat down. "It's Cassoulet,a Kalos specialty," Clemont said while serving everyone a plate. Ash and Drake then a grab a spoonful and immediately their taste buds exploded in goodness. "Wow this is great,how you know how to make this?" Drake asked "Our dad is mainly at work most of the day,so It was up to me to do all the cooking and cleaning for me and Bonnie." Clemont explained that he been doing since he was younger. "That's one of the many things a potential wife will look for." Bonnie said with Dedenne agreeing as well. "And how many times have I told you? I'm can look for my own girlfriend,thank you very much!" Clemont frankly said. "Ok,I got to ask what's the deal with that?" Ash asked curiously. "Well my brother is devoted to his inventions and I can't look after him forever so it's my duty as a sister to find a wife for him." Bonnie explained with pride. "Aww that's so sweet of you,Bonnie." Serena said. "Surely you don't agree?!" Clemont said,shocked at Serena's response. "Hey you guys are free to do whatever you think is right." Drake said before continuing. "But Clemont seriously,you got to teach me how to make this." He said. "It would actually be an honor to offer cooking lessons to a champion and Aura Guardian." Clemont said. "I was thinking between friends." Drake said,hopefully this doesn't go over Clemont's head. "That too."

After lunch Ash decided to train along with Froakie. "Alright ready for some special training? Froakie nodded and he and Ash walked up to an open area next a huge waterfall. "Yea,this is perfect." Ash said then began. "Wow quite a view." Drake complimented on the sencery. "It's beautiful." Serena said while the blond siblings agreed with her.

"You know maybe I should start training again." Drake said and went to another part of the area to train along with his Pokémon. He then released Charizard and Raichu to begin,he then ready himself as he was going to train along with them. "Alright guys,we going to train offensive capability while maintaining decisive thinking,by that it will be triple threat. If you get hit once you're done,ok?" Drake explain the training exercise. Both Pokémon nodded and took stance. Charizard then rushed Raichu with a Dragon Claw,but Raichu sprang upward using his tail and use an Iron Tail on Drake while coming down,but Drake saw this and slided forward to avoid it. Drake then channeled his Aura to add a free flow through his strikes while Raichu's smaller size made him agile enough to evade him. Raichu then tried to fire a Charge Beam at Drake but he was able to use his hands to keep it at bay. Meanwhile Charizard was charging at the both of them while both Drake and Raichu were distracted. While still keeping the Charge Beam at bay Drake notice Charizard was charging at them,and then tries to redirect his hands to ricochet the Charge Beam towards him. Charizard saw this and did a narrow maneuver to avoid it while coming in close and prepared another Dragon Claw. Both Drake and Raichu saw this and pushed back to avoid Charizard's Dragon Claw. "Not bad,you guys." There Charizard circle around to the opposite end of Drake and Drake now stood in between both Pokémon. There Raichu charge in with Brick Break while Charizard did the same with with Dragon Claw. As they closed in Drake prepared and at the right moment he jumped high and both Pokémon's attacks connected causing them to struggle to overpower the other,but they failed to notice the human up above,and when they realized that it was too late. Drake then free dive and fired an Aura Sphere at both Pokémon,successfully hitting them. When the smoke clears both Pokémon were busy dusting themselves off since they realized like that,they lost. "Not bad guys,just remember that when you're facing more then one opponent,you can use them against each other,whether be advantage or distraction." Drake explained while both Pokémon nodded at this.

"Wow I never thought both of them can be so into training,especially Drake." Said Serena while looking at the both of them. "I got to say I never expected him to actually train along with them." Bonnie said with stars in her eyes,she thought Drake couldn't look any more cooler. "It must be a Aura Guardian thing." Clemont said,believing that's the only solution.P

"Alright Froakie use Bubble on that rock." Froakie then fired a barrage of bubble at a big rock,nearly destroying it. "Alright that's good Froakie." Ash said. Suddenly Froakie then sence something. "No,not good enough." A voice rang through the forest. "What was that?" Ash said. "So much potential." It said. "Who's there." Ash said. Everyone was still wondering where it was. "Not enough training" it said,while Drake use his Aura Vision to find the source of the voice. He then sees a rare signature along a tree,and realizes it. "There!"

Froakie then used a Water Pulse at the tree only to reveal part of the bark to be paper. "Impressive" everyone then turns around to a boy around Ash's age in a blue ninja robes along with a frog Pokémon in two shades of blue with yellow eyes with black corneas. Along with a white scarf around the neck. "Hello everyone." He introduced along with his Pokémon. Drake then scan it with his Pokéwatch.

"Frogadiar,The Bubble Frog Pokémon and the evolve form of Froakie, It swiftness is unparalleled,it can scale a tower of 2,000 feet in one minute,and can throw bubble-covered pebbles with precise control,hitting empty cans up to a hundred feet."

"That's some speed and precision." Drake said. Frogadiar then tried to attack him with Quick Attack but Drake manage to grab him while he did a Leg Sweep,causing Frogadiar to fall. "Not fast enough." Drake smirked. "Wow no one being able to catch my Frogadiar." He said. "Got to think fast to be fast,what I always say." Drake said until Ash intervened. "What do you mean not good enough?!" Ash said. "Your Froakie needs more training,it isn't strong enough." The boy said. This angered Ash but Froakie was the one most upset about this boy and his Pokémon calling him weak. "My Froakie is just as strong as any other ok?" Ash declared defending his Pokémon while Froakie agreed as well. "Prove it,have a Pokémon battle with my Frogadiar." He challenged "I accept/Froakie!" They accepted.


Ash vs. ?:One on One

"Alright Froakie use Pound." Froakie then rushes in and his paw glowed white. "Dodge it Frogadiar." With unimaginable speed Frogadiar managed to dodge Froakie easily. "Alright use Bubble." Froakie then jump up and fired at Frogadiar. "Use the tree branches to dodge." He said. Frogadiar then used the trees to his advantage while Froakie tried to hit him using Bubble."

"Use Water Pulse." Frogadiar then fired a ball of water at Froakie. "Froakie look out." Froakie then narrowly dodge the Water Ball,but the Water Pulse impacted in front of it causing smoke to blind Froakie. "Now use Quick Attack." Frogadiar then attack through the smoke with lightning speed,hitting the blind Pokémon in succession. "Froakie!" Ash screamed hoping that Froakie survived that. "That's it,no one has been able to continue after getting hit by Frogadiar's Quick Attack." He said. Froakie disagree and fired a Water Pulse at Frogadiar,but Frogadiar managed to grab in mid air and reflect it back,hitting Froakie. Froakie was seriously damaged ,but it refuses to give up. "Froakie,Froakie wait...its over." Ash said as he tried to restrain Froakie from attacking. Eventually Froakie gave in and calmed down.


Ash then gave Froakie an Oran Berry to help it regain its strength. "I'm sorry about your Froakie." He apologized. Ash nodded and agree that all is well. The boy then decided to properly introduce himself. "It's nice to meet at of you. I'm Sanpei and I'm a Ninja in training." He said along with Frogadiar. Everyone else introduce themselves while Drake spoke up. "So a Ninja huh?" Drake said "Yep my family have been Ninja for generations and I'm on a journey to become one myself along with Frogadiar." Sanpei explained. "Wow that's some feat to achieve." Drake said. "You seem interested Drake." Said Ash. "Well,Guardians weren't the only kinds of peacekeepers back then." Drake said. "You're an Aura Guardian?" Drake nodded at Sanpei question. "That explains the technique when you caught Frogadiar. Wow it's an honor to finally meet an Aura Guardian." Sanpei shook Drake's hand before continuing. "Forgive me if I sound hasty,but can I see it." Sanpei asked. "See what?" Clemont asked while everyone else wondered what he was talking about. Drake then rolled up his right sleeve and focus on his forearm to reveal his Mark. "Wow/Froga,you really are an Aura Guardian." Sanpei praise him while examining his forearm. "Thanks...I guess." Drake said hoping he would let go of his arm.

"Well it's great to meet all of you. I'll be seeing you all down the road." Sanpei said then turn around and walks off,but Ash suddenly stops him. "Wait,tell me." Ash said. Sanpei knew what he was going to asked. "You lacked training,there wasn't much strategy in our battle." Sanpei said. Ash didn't enjoyed what he was told,regardless he was also right,he should guilded Froakie more efficiently and blamed himself for Froakie getting hurt in the process. Ash then thought of something and asked Sanpei a favor. "Teach me." Ash said. "Come again?" Sanpei asked. "Teach me,teach us how to be stronger like you." Ash said. "Are you sure? My training is very difficult and hard work." Sanpei asked to be certain. "Yes,please teach the both of us." Ash said while Froakie asked as well. After a moment Sanpei finally agree to train them. "Very well,but on one condition. You must take this seriously." Sanpei stated. Ash and Froakie nodded at his request,both took their training very serious.

Meanwhile Bonnie was taking in interest in this Ninja training and Serena decided to help her and made her a pink ninja robe for her to wear. She also made a White one for Dedenne and a Yellow one for Pikachu. "Wow she really enjoys theatrics doesn't she" Drake said while watching Bonnie along with Pikachu and Dedenne pretend to sneak around trees. "Well she is little girl so you can't blame her for having too much energy." Said Serena. "I don't blame her. She just reminds me a lot of myself when I was her age." Drake admitted.

Meanwhile Sanpei and Frogadiar began training Ash and Froakie. "So if you want to improve on Froakie's speed,the best move Froakie and learn is Quick Attack. By using Quick Attack requires a lot of muscle towards the legs,so by increasing muscle your legs should be able to have the strength to run faster." Clemont's eye shined as he unveil a new invention. The Future is now thanks to Science CLEMONTIC GEAR on. Clemont then revealed some sort of footwear with springs on the bottom. "With this device the wearer can increase leg mass three times then normal. All you got to do is ste-AAHHHAHHHHHAHHH!" Clemont explain while demonstrating,but then his invention send him sky high. "*whistle* sign me up!" Drake said with a bit of sarcasm in his voice. "Is he going to-" Sanpei asked. "He'll be ok,he does this all the time." Bonnie proposed.

Sanpei then explained the instructions while Ash and Froakie took note of this. They then started to hop left and right in place and encouraged them to do the same. Ash and Froakie started to hop in place while Sanpei encouraged him to go faster and faster over time. After a while Ash and Froakie were hopping in place fast enough to keep up with Sanpei and Frogadiar.

Next they decided to test Froakie's leg movements so they went to nearby pond to train. "Alright next up, Froakie you think you could reach that island without sinking?" Froakie and Ash were dumbstruck by this. "Wait you saying that Froakie can move fast enough to run on water?" Ash asked. Sanpei then snap his fingers and Frogadiar took off the edge and into the water,but he never sank,instead he ran all the way to the island. Ash and Froakie were impressed by this and were excited to try. "If Frogadiar can do it so can you Froakie." Froakie nodded and took off,but sank after the first few seconds. "Froakie needs to move his legs faster." Said Sanpei. After a few more tries Froakie still couldn't reach the island without sinking. Meanwhile Frogadiar laughed at the attempts his pre-evolution sinking into the water. Enraged by this Froakie then got out of water back on land,took a running stance,and took off as fast as it could. "Alright Froakie you can do it." Ash encouraged him along with the others. At last Froakie made it to island without sinking and gloated at Frogadiar's face for underestimating it. Frogadiar just shrugged it off,believing it was all luck.

Lastly Sanpei took them a remote part of the forest to test their agility. "Alright we're gonna jump from branch to branch,vine to vine to test Froakie's agility. That includes you as well Ash." Ash nodded and both trainers and Pokémon jump up top and started hopping from branch to branch. While both Pokémon were ahead due to superior speed both were still try to outmatch the other. Meanwhile Ash and Sanpei continue to catch up but Ash was a bit behind due to nearly falling,but quickly recover. As they were finishing up,Frogadiar,Froakie,and Sanpei landed at the cliff at the end of the forest,but Ash overdid it,sending him over and cause him to freefall down.

"AAAHHHHHAHHAH!" Ash scream while falling until he felt something on his ankle. Sanpei managed to rope Ash in by his ankle and pulls him up with Froakie's and Frogadiar's help. After pulling him up each took a breather. "Ash it's imperative you make sure to stay alert and mindful of your surroundings." Sanpei scorned while Ash apologized for this.

They then decided to take a quick break so Serena made Macarons the previous day and decided now would be a good time to eat them. They decided to rest up next to this big tree,while Ash decided to asked something. "So what made you decide to go on a journey Sanpei?" He asked. "I want to grow more as a ninja trainer,my goal is to one day be able to beat my brothers who are the strongest trainers in my village." Sanpei said. "Wow that's an interesting goal." Drake said. "Yep my brother Nehei is the second strongest trainer in the village,but my older brother Ippei is the strongest. I heard he is scheduled to take the position as Village Chieftain." Sanpei explained. "Wow that's really incredible Sanpei." Clemont said praising him. Sanpei and Frogadiar shrugged it off and turned to Ash. "What about you Ash?" He asked. "Easy,I'm on a journey to become a Pokémon Master." Ash said "Pokémon Master huh? A long and hard road,but worth more in the end." Ash nodded at what he said. Even through he's on this journey it takes time and training to achieve,but Ash knows this and vows to himself and his Pokémon to make the journey all the way. "And you Drake? Why is an Aura Guardian on Journey for?" Sanpei asked. "I want to be a stronger Champion that my home deserves." Drake admitted. "Wait,Champion as in Regional Champion?!" Sanpei asked in complete shock. Drake nodded at this while Sanpei then told him. "Wow what else are you?" Sanpei praise "umm...I'm also not one for praisement." Drake sweatdrop at Sanpei's reaction. "Humble eh? Well I wish you best of luck on your journey." Drake bowed his head as being thankful.

After taking a break Ash and Sanpei decided to resume on their training. They then decided to to finally test what they learn on the boulders nearly. "Alright lets test your Quick Attack on these rocks,like so." Frogadiar then landed a Quick Attack on one of the rocks,breaking it to bits. "There now you try" Said Sanpei. "Alright Froakie use Quick Attack." Froakie then speeds up and hits the rock with great force,but the rock didn't bulge. Froakie then tried once again but the rock refuses to break. For the third time Froakie then tried to break the rock but then a metallic star got in the way then exploded,which blinded them.

"Umm...what..is...that." Sanpei asked. Ash and he then see a big purple Meowth robot dressed as a ninja.

"Ha Prepare for trouble." Said

"And make it double."

"To protect the world from devastation."

"to unite all people from within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To expand our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie"

"James"

"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light."

"Surrender now or prepare to fight."

"Meowth that's right."

"Uh..that's...an annoying nuisance." Ash sheepishly said. "And trouble." Drake said as he ran to them along with the others. "Ha surprised,now we're here for those Frogs if you don't mind." Said Meowth. "Not gonna happen. Drake said as he takes out Charizard's poke ball until Ash stopped him. "Wait,Drake we got this." Ash stopped him and Drake nodded and lowered his Poké ball and went aside.

"Really Froakie/Frogadiar." Both Pokémon ready and charged forward to attack. "Use Quick Attack to close in,follow it by Water Pulse. Both then rush in to attack but Froakie was falling behind and Team Rocket's machine was still launching metal stars at them. But one of the stars imploded close to Froakie pushing him back. Frogadiar saw this,but failed to notice the net casted by Team Rocket and got caught.

"Frogadiar!" Sanpei said as he saw his Pokémon caught in a net. "Froakie help Frogadiar." Froakie then tried to rush in while avoiding more nets launched by Team Rocket. The more nets that came,the faster Froakie got,and eventually Froakie was fast enough to create after images of himself. Ash saw this and realized Froakie just learn Double Team. "Huh...that's unexpected." Sanpei said,since they were trying to teach Froakie Quick Attack,but another result came unexpected.

"Alright use Bubble to free Frogadiar." All the images then fired a Bubble Attack at the net holding Frogadiar,freeing him. Team Rocket were enrage that they managed to free Frogadiar but were now worried at the looks on the "twerps" faces. Ash and Sanpei then agreed to another combine assault and Froakie and Frogadiar then ran forward towards the robot. "Use Water Pulse!" They said. Both Bubble Frogs got close and launched two balls of water at the mech. The combine attack managed to knock the mech down to the ground,there Ash decided to finish it. "Alright Pikachu use Thunderbolt." Pikachu then jumped from Ash's shoulder and fired a powerful Thunderbolt at the robot,destroying it and senting Team Rocket off.

"TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The trio said as they flew sky high.

Both Pokémon hi-five as their trainers congratulated them on their efforts. Meanwhile Drake and the others came over. "Wow I got to say. You had me worried when Frogadiar got captured." Drake said. "I got to say that Froakie learn Double Team quickly turn the odds against Team Rocket." Clemont stated. "Even tho we were training to use Quick Attack,Double Team can really help us in our Gym Battle at the Cyllage Gym." Ash said. Everyone agreed to his statement as Double Team can be used in different situations. Hours pass and Sanpei was getting really to set off and was saying goodbye to everyone. "Take care Sanpei." Drake said. "Thanks everyone I sure hope to see you all down the road once again." He said. "Hey Sanpei,next time we meet let's have another battle." Ash declared. "I'll hold you to that Ash." Sanpei said as he shook Ash's hand while everyone thought they would make good rivals in the long run. Sanpei and Frogadiar waved goodbye as did the others,there they head down the road to Cyllage City as the Journey continues.
