Chapter 12: New Friends Part 2
With Keira leaving the couple, Ash and Alice can now do their training with their own Pokemon. Not only that, they can use their own Aura Weapon training without being noticed by others as well.
Gliscor uses Mud Bomb on Ash and Alice, causing them to get all dirty. Ash groans, "Gliscor...now we are all dirty."
Gliscor just gives an apologetic wink, causing the couple to sigh. Alice says, "Well, we are lucky that there is a river nearby, so we can just clean ourselves there."
Ash says, "Then you go first, I'll catch up to you later, after all, I don't want to be treated as a pervert."
Alice nods as she leaves to take a bath, as for Ash, he sighs and says, "Well, since we are not going to battle for now, what should we do?"
He looks at Herovor, Purrlit, Budcheep and Gliscor, he says, "Well, why don't we find something to do?"
The other Pokemon agree as they start to think. As for Alice, she has already taken off her clothes and goes into the river. She says, "Compared to the water in the Subhail Ice Caps, this is nothing."
Just then, they see a blue duck like Pokemon walking by, and much to her surprise, it uses Water Gun on her, causing her to get into the water.
"Hey!" Alice yells after she floats back to the surface. "What is that for?"
The Pokemon just gives a laugh, and Alice tries to catch that Pokemon, but inside the water, it is really fast as Alice can't catch that Pokemon.
"You really done this..." Alice says as she gets back to the surface, and then she takes out the Electric Razor.
Ash and his Pokemon are chatting until they notice electricity flying in the air. "That is where Alice is taking a bath." Pikachu says.
"Don't tell me that Alice is hit by an electric move." Ash gasps as they rush towards the lake.
Alice looks at the duck Pokemon, who is now fainted on the ground. "That shows you not to mess with me."
"Alice? What is going on here?" Alice flinches at the voice and she quickly grabs her wet clothes and covered the front of her body.
Ash rushes towards Alice and asks, "Are you okay?"
"That Pokemon is ruining my bath, so I decide to give him a lesson with the Electric Razor. I am sorry to make you worried." Alice says.
Ash sees the blue duck like Pokemon and scans it with the Pokedex.
Ugling: The Ugly Duck Pokemon: Water and Flying Type. Because of its undeveloped wings, it is unable to fly. It's very skilled at swimming though, as it can dive for over 10 minutes to hunt.
"Well, it seems to be paralyzed..." Ash then takes out the Paralyze Heal and uses it on the duck. After Ugling wakes up, Ash asks, "Why did you attack her?"
Ugling sprays a Scald on his face and says, "Because it is funny."
"It is not." Alice says while her face is red with anger. Ugling then notices something, "Wait, you can understand me?"
Ash sighs, "You know, your water is really hot, but yeah, we can understand you since we are Aura Guardians."
Ugling is amazed, and then he apologizes for the pranks that he did, Alice forgives him and then Ash captures him. Alice says, "So Ash, I guess it is your turn, right?"
Ash turns to her and he blushes a little, Alice is confused, but as she looks down, she sees that her hand with the clothes is not covering her body, she blushes and says, "I'll leave for now..." Then she runs out of his sight.
Now that it is Ash's turn in the bath, he is feeling sad as he mutters, "Well done, Ash. You saw her body and you have become a pervert...you just gave her a bad expression..."
Ash shakes his head and he says, "I really need to apologize to her once I finish my bath."
Herover says, "Don't blame yourself too much, you wanted to save her, she will understand."
Pikachu says, "Yeah, she didn't scream like other girls do, which means that she understands what you are doing."
Ash smiles, "Thank you." As he sits inside the water for now, he sees that a pink fish is looking at him curiously.
"Pikachu, my Pokedex is on shore, can you help me scan this Pokemon?" Ash asks.
"Sure." Pikachu says as he scans the Pokemon.
Angling: The Angelfish Pokemon: Water Type. Angling are especially small among Water type Pokémon. By using their cute eyes as a defense mechanism, they convince predators to hunt for other Pokémon instead.
"Oh, I see." Ash says as he tries to get closer, but then the Angling gives a sad and cute frown, she says, "Oh please don't eat me, I am not as tasty as a Guppish, can you just let me go?"
Ash sees how cute the fish is, he smiles, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, let alone eating you. You know, you are really cute even if you didn't use your defense mechanism."
Angling is surprised, she asks, "You think so?"
"Of course." Ash says, but just then, they hear something as Angling quickly jumps into Ash's arms. And then a blue colored Pokemon jumps and yells, "Hey, that is my prey!"
Angling just shivers in Ash's hand and Ash says, "What is that?" Pikachu hears it and then scans the Pokemon.
Aquad: The Freshwater Pokemon: Fighting and Water Type. Aquad often swim against river currents in order to train their muscles. They swish their strong tails in order to help themselves keep steady.
"Give me the fish, it is mine!" Aquad yells as he delivers a move called Aqua Slam, but Ash takes the hit and then groans in pain.
"Ash!" The five Pokemon yells as they rush towards him, Aquad hears their voices and he widens his eyes. "Wait a second...did you say Ash?"
Budcheep says, "Wait, I remember that voice...Buizel? Is that you?"
"No way, our old pal Buizel?" Purrlit asks.
Aquad notices Gliscor and Pikachu, he says, "Gliscor, Pikachu, you are safe and sound. But that is really Ash?"
Ash recovers from the attack and then Aquad rushes in front of him. "Ash, is that really you?"
"Huh? Did I know you?" Ash asks. "Wait, are you one of my Pokemon that gets revived into a different Pokemon?"
Herover says, "It's our pal Buizel, Ash."
"Wait, seriously?" Ash says, "Buizel?"
Aquad nods and says, "I finally found you... I have been wondering where you were ever since they suffocated us..."
Purrlit says, "We understand, you are not the only one."
Aquad hears the voice and he is also surprised. "Wait a sec...Torterra? Infernape? Staraptor? Is that you?"
"Now you recognize us, huh?" Budcheep says.
"What is that? You want a fight?" Aquad feels a little offended. Ash sighs, "I guess that something has never changed. By the way, Angling, don't worry, Aquad won't hurt you now that he knows that I am here."
Angling nods and then smiles at him, then Ash decides to get back to the shore, and then he also captures the two new Pokemon and puts his clothes on.
Alice is waiting for them as Ash and his friends finally showed up, "What has been taking you too long?" Alice asks.
"Sorry, but I found an Angling and an Aquad. It turns out that the Aquad is actually my Buizel."
"Seriously? A Buizel?" Alice says. "That is good news. I heard that it stores air in the sacs on its neck and uses them as flotation devices, and swims by spinning its two tails like a propeller."
"Yeah, but about before, I am sorry that I see you naked. I didn't mean to-" Alice places her finger in front of Ash, signaling him to be quiet. "I understand, you thought I was in trouble and your sense of justice comes first. But I wanted to hear about how you capture the two Water Pokemon."
Ash nods as they take a seat. After talking, Alice says, "So you mean...these six Pokemon helped you won against your rival back in Sinnoh Region?"
"Yeah, I never knew that of all my Pokemon, the six of them are the first ones to be reunited. But there are still more to find."
"I know you can find them eventually." Alice says, but then, they hear a sound from the bushes and they turn around, they see Nurse Joy crawling from a bush and she seems to be looking for something.
"Nurse Joy?" Ash asks. "What are you doing here in the forest?"
"Oh, are you guys trainers? Can I ask you for some help? My Rubball has gone missing and I can't find him."
"Rubball?" Ash is confused as he types the Pokemon in the Pokedex, and it shows him the picture.
Rubball: The Rubber Pokemon: Normal Type. Rubball have an extremely elastic body. They are popular among children for being able to bounce as if they are a ball.
"How did your Rubball go missing?" Alice asks.
"I was driving back to Crestlight City from Serpentine City, but then Rubball bounces off of the ambulance and I have been finding him ever since."
"That is such horrible news, we can help you find him." Ash says.
"I really appreciate your help. Thank you." Nurse Joy says.
Once they look around the place, they eventually find the Rubball bouncing with another Rubball watching. "There you are Rubball!"
The one with the nurse cap hears Nurse Joy as he bounces towards her, Nurse Joy says, "I am so worried, you shouldn't bounce off like that again."
Rubball nods and then he points at the other Rubball, who is feeling sad. "What's wrong with him?"
Ash says, "You want to say that Rubball can't bounce? So you want to teach him?"
Nurse Joy's Rubball nods and then Alice says, "We can help with that."
Nurse Joy says, "You guys really are something else, I never knew there are such wonderful trainers who are able to learn what the Pokemon is saying."
"I know." Ash says. Then he takes out the ball and says, "Rubball, you see this ball." He drops it and the ball starts bounce. "When the ball is on the high level, the forces with pulls him down, but there is a Reaction Force that makes it goes back to the sky again. So Gardevoir, can you help me?" Ash takes out the Pokemon and Gardevoir uses Psychic to make Rubball floats in the air.
Rubball looks a little scared, but Ash says, "Don't worry, if you are scared, then you will never be able to achieve your goal. Relax, that is the key to your success."
Rubball nods and then it shows a determined face, and when Gardevoir stops using Psychic, the Rubball then curls into the ball and then it starts bouncing.
"It works!" Alice says, but then they have to dodge the Pokemon since it has no sense of direction.
"How do we make him stop?" Alice asks.
"Gardevoir, use Psychic!" Ash says as Rubball is stopped. Nurse Joy says, "I think that it needs some more practice."
"I know." Ash sighs. "Rubball, why don't you come with me? I can help you finish your bouncing if you want."
Rubball is surprised, since it is not common to see a human who has a heart to help a Pokemon. Rubball nods and then Ash captures him.
"A new friend." Ash smiles. Nurse Joy says, "Well, since you helped me find my Rubball and also going to help that one, why don't I help you get to the Crestlight City?"
"Thank you so much." Alice says as they go to the ambulance to get to Crestlight City.
Here is another chapter, and this time Ash has four new Pokemon. And the next chapter will maybe be the Blackleaf Woods. I hope you enjoy it.
