The Johto League

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. Note: This is, of course, the Johto League in my opinion.

Months have past since Ash and co. saw Tom and Duplica



Ash and Pikachu walk up to the gate of the Johto league, he hasn't felt so good since the Indigo league and the orange league. Of course he is acting a little stupid, running around with joy.

"ALL RIGHT! I'VE MADE IT!" Ash cheers.

"Ash, you're acting like a Manky." Misty said. Ash fell anime style.

"HEY ASH!" A voice called, Ash, Misty, and Brock turned around. It was Tom and Duplica they were running towards them.

"HEY!" Ash called back, waving. "How's it going you two?"

"Not bad, so you finally made it." Tom said.

"Yep." Ash showed off his badges. "They weren't easy, so you made it too."

"You got it." Tom showed of his badges. "They weren't they hard."

Misty and Duplica sighed. "Boys."

"Hey Ash, try to make it to the finals, I'll see you there." Tom said.

"Huh?" Ash said puzzled.

"The Johto league is divided into to divisions. Trainers are randomly chosen and placed. I've already seen it and you are in one division and I am in the other." Tom said.

"Say Brock, how's it going?" Tom said. He and Brock Hi-Fived,

"Not much Tom, just trying to prevent these two from killing each other and starving to death." Brock laughed. (Ash and Misty gave those gloom-like looks with sweat drops) Then Brock leaned towards Tom and whispered. "Just between you and me, I think that Ash and Misty forgotten they confessed their love to each other last Christmas."

"Must have been because they where knocked unconscious so close to the event, their minds take it as a dream." Tom whispered back. Brock thought about it, and then he nodded.

Duplica ran up and hugged Tom. "Tell them the little something you've arranged." Ash and co. looked confused.

Tom gave a nervous laugh. "Duplica that was supposed to be a surprise." Duplica gave a puppy-dog eye look. Tom gave in. "Alright, I've pulled a few strings and I've been able to arrange a few events."

"What sort of strings?" Misty asked.

"Hey, I'm no the Indigo league champion for nothing." Tom said. "Anyway, and don't tell anyone, there's going to be a expeditional match for all of the Pokemon Trainers friends and partners to battle each other. The second event I'll save for later."

"Sweet, when is this event." Misty asked.

"Yeah." Brock said. 'I hope I get paired up with a cute girl.'

"Oh, one important detail. So that it doesn't take too long, only ONE friend/partner can be chosen if a Trainer has more than one. Sorry, that was the best I could do." Tom said.

"So, what you're trying to say is I..." Ash started to say.

"You've got to pick one of us." Brock and Misty said (angry big head look, with fire background).

"WAAAA!" Ash panicked.

"Just joking Ash." Brock said.

"Yeah, you're so gullible." Misty said.

"What?!?" Ash said confused.

"Seriously, we won't be mad who you pick." Brock said.

"Yeah, so long and it's one of us." Misty said.

"Well, I, uh, I guess I pick Misty then." Ash said.

"I KNEW IT!" Misty cheered.

'Thought so.' Tom thought. "I Hope you know, Duplica is entering too." Tom said.

"I hope we battle each other." Duplica said Misty nodded.

"Well look who it is." A voice said. It was Gary.

"Gary." Ash said.

"Hey there Ash, so you finally made it, I can't wait to actually fight you." Gary said. He looked at Tom. "Who's that guy?"

"The names Tom Walled, please to met you." Tom said.

Gary was shocked. "NO WAY! THE TOM WALLED! CHAMPION OF THE INDIGO LEAGUE?" He yelled.

"Yeah?!?" Tom said. He's gotten a lot of reactions to his before but never this extreme. "And you must be Gary, Ash has told me so much about you." Then Tom noticed his Umbreom. "Nice Pokemon, your best one?"

"Yep." Gary said, now showing pride.

"Well, I wish I'd get to battle you, however you're in Ash's division." Tom said. Then he took out a pokeball. "However that doesn't mean I can't SHOW you my best pokemon."

He threw his pokeball and out came Mewtwo. 'Greetings human.' It said. Gary was speechless and just stood there mumbling, he was too shocked because he recognized that pokemon from somewhere.

Realizing this was too much for him, everyone decided to leave. "See you later Gary, hope we get to finally battle." Ash said as they left.



Later



The gang was walking along when they heard voices. "Hey Misty!" Misty stopped, a shocked look was on her face, and turned around. It was her sisters Daisy, Lily, and Violet. "Hey little sister." They said.

Brock ran up to them; hold each of their hands. "OH it is so GREAT to SEE YOU all AGAIN!" Brock said. Misty bashed him on the head and then pulled him by the ear to the side.

"What are you doing here?" Misty asked the obvious question.

"We heard on TV the pre-tournament contest being held here. We figured your boyfriend was entering the main tournament and he'd pick you for the contest." Daisy said with a smirk on the boyfriend part.

"HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!" Misty growled.

"Whatever." Lily said. "Anyway, we came to cheer you on. We'll stay through the whole tournament."

"Who's watching the gym?" Misty asked.

"An old friend of the family." Violet said.

"Who?" Misty asked.

"Just an old friend." They said at once. (Couldn't think of a name)

"Well, you're right about on thing. Ash did pick me to be in the contest." Misty said. Tom and Duplica walked a little closer. Tom coughed loudly. "Oh right, sorry, these are some new friends. Duplica the ditto trainer, and this is Tom a pokemon league champion." They shook hands.

"Please to meet you." Tom said. Being the gentlemen he is, he kissed their hands when he shook them.

"Such manners, you three should follow his example." Lily said to Ash, Brock, and Misty.

"HEY!" They said.



Meanwhile



"This is it, we've got to get that Pikachu." Jessie said.

"Right, in memory of the boss." James said.

"Mewoth." Mewoth said.

"If you do this in the bosses memory, he'd be insulted for eternity." A voice said. The three turned around and saw Butch and Cassidy.

"It's Cassidy." Jessie said.

"And Boch." James said.

Butch fell anime style a little. "The names BUTCH!" He yelled.

"What are you two doing here?" Jessie growled.

"Relax, we're not here to compete against you on a case." Cassidy said.

"Rather, to make sure you REALLY honor the bosses memory, we'll help you out." Butch said, he kind of forced that last part out.

"Why should we join with you? You've always lost when it's come to those twerps and their Pikachu." Jessie said.

"Because this time we're just going to concentrate mainly on Pikachu only." Cassidy said.

Jessie, James, and Mewoth huddled. "Hmmm? Should we trust them on this one, I mean it really won't matter who captures Pikachu without the boss to give it to." James said. Jessie smacked him

"You idiot, it would be worst. We were trying to capture that Pikachu for a long time, and to have THEM take it is a greater insult than anything else." Jessie said.

"Why don't we just let them help and, if they get Pikachu first, swipe it from under their noses." Mewoth said.

"That's brilliant Mewoth." James said

"And risk losing it like before." Jessie said.

"Oh, not brilliant." James said with a dumb look on his face.

"Let's just go along with it and see what happens." Jessie said. "Alright?"

"Alright." James groaned.

"Mewoth." Mewoth moaned.

"All right, we'll accept your help." They said. Butch and Cassidy smirked.



Later



"Ash!" Two voices called out. Ash turned and saw his mother and father with Professor Oak.

"Mom! Dad!" Ash said with excitement.

"Hello Ash." Prof. Oak said.

"Hi Professor Oak." Ash said.

"I'm so proud of you Ash, you've done so much." Ash's mother said.

"Yes son, not even I was able to do three consecutive champion leagues in a row." His dad said.

"Thanks dad." Ash said. He couldn't help but smile.

"You've done grand Ash. Why, it's like only yesterday I gave you that Pikachu because you slept in and missed out on the other Pokemon." Oak said, Ash laughed nervously. "And that Pikachu wouldn't listen to you. Now look at you."

"Uh, thanks, I guess." Ash said.

"ASH!" Another voice called.

Ash knew that voice; it was "RICHIE!" He called.

"Hey Ash!" Richie said the two were very excited. "How've you been."

"Great, you?" Ash asked.

"Same here. Hey Pikachu." Richie said.

"PIKA!" Pikachu said with excitement.

"So are you guys ready for the Johto League?" Richie asked.

"You know it!" Ash said. "Yourself?"

"Definitely." Richie said.

"Attention Please! Will those competing in the Partner/Friend pre-game battles please report to registration now!" An announcer said.

"Well, I guess that means you little sis." Daisy told Misty.

"You all ready!" Ash asked.

"YES!" Everyone yelled.

"Then let's GO!" Ash yelled as he ran forward.
