Hello again, and welcome back to another chapter of a promise kept. I really can't apologize more than ever about the lack of chapter's so far with all that's going on: Work, family emergency, writer's block, and so forward. Aside from that, I'm back, and with a request chapter, courtesy of Dragonsruler18, two pokemon for one well, one she's requested, and one is mine. I do want to say she's the reason why both my stories are a thing and one of many writers that inspired me to be a writer and couldn't thank her enough for getting me started writing years ago, but I'm still here. Enough with all the talk time to start the chapter also. The chapter's name was a watcher's suggestion. If you guys want another one, let me know, but since it's the only one given to me, I'm going with it. However, I don't think of the name but of what the chapter is about a pair of pokemon that many people wanted Ash to catch, and I've thought of a way of him having more than six pokemon. It may not sound realistic, but it's fanfiction.

Chapter 5: The battle for Eevee's

We join our heroes as they are on their journey to Violet city and the site of Ash's next gym. Little did they know a pair of eyes were watching them from a distance as Ash was cleaning off the gs ball. As all of Ash's pokemon talked about the GS ball, Ash was cleaning.

"Man, how many times does he have to clean that it's just a ball," Totodile said as he's been noticing that since he joined the team. "Well, Professor Ivy gave Ash the GS ball to bring to a Pokeball expert of sorts here in Johto. Even I'm wondering what's so special about it too," Charizard said as he was more oblivious about it then again, he didn't pay attention during the Orange Islands journey until later down the road as Pidgeot nudged him unpleasantly. "And you're not the only one here in the dark, Charizard. All I remember hearing was that it was a pain for that Professor to transfer," she said with a tone of not having it with him. Pikachu sigh's and explained the whole story to the 2 of them as Charizard almost looks like he's going to nap if Pidgeot wasn't next to him. "Well, that makes sense, but it must be extraordinary if he asked to bring it to Kurt himself. I've heard stories about him from Professor Elm about his mastery of the pokeballs. Even I have a few family members who were caught by one of them a while back," Totodile said as he had that knowing look on his face. Pidgeot then asked, "How did you know that I thought most pokemon there weren't outside the lab?" he then said, "Well, technically, I'm not raised at the lab. Many starters have a home's outside of the regions lab if I recall correctly," He pointed to Charizard "there's a place for your line here as well as Charizard made a smirk at this. "You mean the Charizific valley" Totodile nodded as Charizard interrupted, "I know that place cause like most Charizard. I, too, was born there if I remember correctly. One of the gym leaders here is close with the owner. I knew a young Charmander back then. She was the princess of the valley," Pidgeot noticed. "She must be nice and all that Charizard," She said with a sly tone as Charizard blushed but explained that she was a bit above his family tree in terms of the Charizard hierarchy.

As this conversation was going on, the eyes watching Ash and the others walked off before Pikachu can spot it. Meanwhile, back in a cave not far from them. An older-looking pokemon was not too old that he was an elder. However, more in the lines of Ash's pokemon's age noticed his sister comes back "and where have you ran off to, sis. " It turns out both were Eevee's as the youngest of the two said, "I just spotted a group of humans they seem pretty nice and has a pretty select of pokemon come on bro maybe one of them will be the one for us," she had a playful tone in her voice as the older brother was unsure. "Look, you know my past with another trainer, and I just got back here a few days ago. My last trainer was the worst. What if he's the same" He said with a bit of a stern voice. "Look, you may have a rough time with one trainer. But it would help if you didn't let that deter me from one either. Besides, the smaller of the two might be the one you might like come on, bro, wouldn't hurt to see him and then decide" He shook his head, " not right now. It is getting late. Well, we don't know what else is out there," she pouted. "Aw, you're no fun just cause you're the oldest doesn't mean that I always have to listen to you besides our other family members have trainers why not give it a" He interrupted. "I said not right now. Okay, you seriously don't understand the pain I went through. He may sound kind and all, but from what I've been hearing, and seeing is almost exactly from what the last trainer I was with was like, I'm putting my paw down on this discussion for now." She pouted and nodded. She didn't want to be treated rudely like that. As they watched by a particular trio not far away, it wasn't Ash and co.

Meanwhile, with Ash and friends, "well, I think we should set up camp for the night as we still have a bit of Forrest to go," Brock said as he was finishing cooking food for dinner. "Man, I'm starving, so yeah, we might," Ash said as dinner was ready, the usual soup and rice balls. Misty was kind of on the weary lookout. "For some reason, it felt like we were spied on by something." Brock and Ash looked around and didn't see anything. "Are you sure, Misty? I mean, we are in the forest past Cherrygrove city, must be because of that." As this now angers misty. "No, not that, and you know my fear of bug pokemon," Brock interrupts. "Calm down, you two look, the area isn't full of bug pokemon, the map said so itself. Not to mention, we're in an area that is more common to most pokemon that isn't party to the forest area," Misty interjects. "And how many times has your map been wrong" Brock "point taken but have you seen any" that stopped misty's tirade. Pikachu sighed. "She isn't wrong about that. Brock has gotten us lost more times than Ash," he said to the team as Totodile said, "I do agree. I thought I heard something not far from us just an hour ago" As they did hear bushes, it was that young Eevee that was coming over the cause of the smell of food Ash noticed. "Hey, it's an Eevee. It's rare to see one of them in the wild." As she was making her way over to Ash for food and knowing him pretty well, she wasn't as timid as most wild ones. She was interested in Ash as they saw another Eevee coming out but taller and had that look of not happy "sis, I told you not to come out of hiding. I only agreed cause you wouldn't shut up about them" As she sighed and ran over to him before Ash and co. could say anything as the two ran off sadly, much to the youngest dismay.

"What was that all about?" Ash said as Misty was curious too. "Yeah, it seems that the little one was interested in you, Ash." Brock interject, "I am curious. Is that the older one? He looks like it's been through much pain or something" Charizard also noticed "could he be" Pikachu "You know something Charizard" Charizard "Not entirely, but I've seen that type of expression before. It's an expression of hurt I've had that when he abandoned me" Charizard didn't want to say his name.

Somehow the older of the two heard that last statement. "Hey, wait, sis, maybe you're right about that trainer?" She turned to him. "Really, what makes you say that it's just a hunch but that Charizard and I may have a past? I'm not certain, but I felt that I'd seen him before," She said. "Well, his line is from the Kanto region like our species is from, but we should give him a chance" Just before they could decide anything, a net was sprung on both of them. Team Rocket was flying in that balloon of theirs that caught the attention of Ash and friends.

"Oh, great more trouble Pidgeot. See if you can burst that balloon, I'll catch up" As he ran after them, Pidgeot did as told boy was their balloon super slow to the point that they didn't notice a certain bird pokemon was pretty much on their tail fast. "Oh no, not the twerp's bird," as Pidgeot used quick attack and wing attack on the net just in time as Ash just caught up to save both of them from landing hard on the ground. "Are you two okay?" Ash said while panting. They nodded as Team rocket was still mid-air right in the middle of their motto Pidgeot busted a hole in their balloon, sending them crashing to the ground fast. "Ugh, can those two get a better motto? Seriously I'm bored of their same old lines," Pidgeot said with a disgusted tone. As she flew next to Ash after doing so, "wow, Pidgeot, you must hate them if you did that mid-motto," Ash said jokingly that got a chuckle out of not only her but the two Eevee's. "Tell that bird of yours to mind its own business. You know how expensive repairing that is," Jessie said. "And What's wrong with our motto? Do you have a problem with it, bird-brain?" Meowth said, now even madder than before, as Pidgeot interjects with the following words to hammer home how much she hates it, "Boring. Long. It can put a waking Snorlax to sleep, and that's just being nice."

Meowth translated as being more ticked off than before. "She has a point. You three have been so boring saying that same motto that even Charizard would sleep on it." Ash said. "Shut IT TWERP," all three of them said. "We'll get those Eevee's no matter what," Meowth said as Ash said, "And let them go with an abusive organization like your's, not a chance" As team rocket sent out their pokemon including one of the Pinsir's from before oh boy that made Pidgeot seeing red. " Steel wing and wing attack combine Pidgeot" As she used it sending all four pokemon back as the eldest and youngest Eevee fired what looks to be a dark ball-like move at them which hits the gas of the balloon, sending them blasting off.

As the female Eevee was kinda nuzzling Ash's leg as thanks, "see bro, I told you," she said as proud as she can. "You don't have to rub it in, sis," he said with a bit of an embarrassing look on his face. "Look, you two don't have to join me if you don't want to. I understand that you might not trust me, but more the merrier if you want to," Ash said while petting the youngest of the two. They looked at each other and then nodded to Ash, showing they want to join. As he pulled out two Pokeball's and caught them sadly, the two were transferred to the lab cause of the carrying weight, but Ash noticed a pokemon center nearby and contacted professor Oak who has a surprise for Ash.

"Wait, you're gonna do what, Professor?" He said with a surprise/shock look on his face. "You heard correctly Ash i'm gonna extend your team to 10 but you're still limited to the 6v6 rules but with a in return for a favor" Professor Oak said as he continues "The two pokemon you brought one was already captured before and just released probably around a month or two ago" Ash was surprised to hear this "it must be the oldest of the 2 I saw how he was acting towards me earlier and that would fit around the sametime we came here" Professor oak nodded "Right on the mark Ash there's been lately a string of released pokemon either by force or some sort of circumstances most of them where either broken mentally, or was left to either fend for themselves or die" Ash thinking "Hey professor you remember the similar situation with Charizard I told you about, about his old trainer" Professor Oak nodded "I had a feeling you were going to say that yes all of them are related to the trainer you know as Damien rummor has it he's taking part in the league where you're at" As gripped his hand "Next time i see him he'll be sorry" Professor oak interject's "The only way sadly to make him pay for his crimes is if you beat him in battle in front of either the league officials or through interpol themselve's I hate to say this ash but you're proabably will have to beat him at the league if you want a revenge" Ash nodded "I understand professor can you send the two eevee's back when you're done with the extension" Ash said just as Misty and Brock just walked in to catch up with Ash "Done now Ash keep in touch and sending them now" As the two eevee's were sent back to Ash as Brock handed Ash his pokemon back seems like Ash left his pokeball earlier when he went to rescue the eevee's from team rocket. "Sorry about those guys. I was planning on swapping two of the team out for them, but the Professor was way ahead of me" As Ash explained everything as a look of horror and disgust was on the two gym leader's faces. "He's back, and now things are getting out of hand, huh I wonder if that Eevee has any connection with him," Brock said. Misty nodded in agreement. "He did say he thinks raising the most boring part as a pokemon trainer, and I wouldn't be surprised." "I understand, but right now, we can't do anything but move on and report more if any comes up till then. I should introduce the team to the two Eevee's as they'll be part of this journey."

As Ash let out the team outside, "guy, I would like you to meet the two newest part of the team" As Ash lets the two siblings out. As many welcomed them, even the youngest felt comfortable around them; however, Charizard and older brother have the look of familiarity as the older brother asked Charizard, "You were with him as well, weren't you" Charizard surprised and nodded. "I thought you looked familiar. You were the only one on the team with a level head and saw right through him. I wished I saw that sooner. Surprised you lasted almost two years" Eevee shook his head. "Like you, I'm also born here. How I wound up in Kanto, I don't know. However, when he arrived here, I fled. I had a distaste for humans cause of him until that human Ash is it?" Charizard nodded and confirmed as much as he can as Ash noticed this and confirmed his suspicions about the Eevee brother and thought, ' promise you both I'll get back at Damien for everything this is personal.'

With a new addition and new info was said to Ash, his journey would be different as the journey continues to violet city.

Stay tuned

And finally, the chapter is done. Sorry for the wait, guys, and exposition dump in the latter half of the story. But yes, this will be a thing, and yes, I do have plans on him in the league. Speaking of that, I have big plans for the battle of the league and how it'll play out, not just the usual familiar faces but also a few names that you wouldn't expect coming. Please go easy on me on the paragraph format as writing this wasn't easy. Next chapter, we'll be touching on the Violet gym battle. Guys, see you then. And I'll try to get these chapters out as much as I can.
