"Thanks" Ashley pinned the badge on one of her bag straps.
Alice walked over and laughed "Hey, why don't you go along with Ashley Gemma? You'll become stronger that way…" Gemma turned to her sister and smiled.
"For maybe one, you just might be right…"Gemma turned her face to Ashley, "Could I come along with you?"
"The more the merrier!" Ashley shouted happily
"Do you fell alright Gemma?" Both Gemma and Ashley looked at Alice and burst out laughing. "What was so funny?" Alice crossed her arms and went into a mood.
"It was what you said Alice. I'll see you tomorrow outside the pokémon center at 8, k?" Gemma started to walk to the back of the gym.
"SURE!" and Ashley walked out the front to the pokémon center to stay the night.
It was 11pm and Ashley still couldn't sleep… she decided to introduce mew to Lola. She released them both. They sat facing each other and starting talking pokétalk. Mew and Lola looked so happy…Ashley smiled as the started running around (in mew's case floating) they stared to get the louder.
"Mew, Lola. Be quieter or you'll wake someone up…"the two pokémon looked up at her… Not long after they were all asleep…she had one arm round mew and the other one around Lola.
"Huh?" Ashley said suddenly letting go of mew and Lola and sitting up. Someone or something was there…she felt it… She turned and rubbed her eyes…
"Suicune…" she gasped as the beast of ice stood next to her… Suicune walked up to Ashley slowly.
"Do not be afraid, I only wish to help you…"
"Thank you" Ashley said timidly putting her hand on suicune's head. Suicune purred and smiled. Ashley took her hand away and the pokémon moved forward, it faced away from Ashley and spoke softly
"I hope you stay well…I will see you again…" It melted away. Ashley stood up and was about to walk forward when she whacked something with her foot…a thunderstone!
"Wow…" Ashley picked it up and stuck it in her bag, and then mew and Lola woke up. "Ok guys…return" Ashley held out there balls and smiled I know I saw Suicune… She got changed into a pair of jeans and pink t-shirt. She put her belt on looking at her badge and poké balls. She picked up her bag and ran out the door of the pokémon center into beautiful sunshine. She smiled and waited…
::*-*::
"Where have you been Suicune?" said a voice. Suicune turned to see Entei and Raikou, her older brothers, coming out of the shadows
"Nowhere…"Was the simple reply.
"You went to talk to her didn't you?" Raikou asked coldly
"So what if I did…"Suicune shouted.
"What if you had let it slip about her brother?"
"Well I didn't!" Suicune nearly cried and bounded away. As soon as she was away, she curled up it's not fair… I just wanted someone to be my friend…Entei said she would be the next champion mistress so I though I'd meet her…
::*-*::
"Hey Ashley!" called a voice from nearby. Ashley spun on the spot to see both Gemma and Alice. She new which one was which because Gemma, she presumed was the one with the bag.
"Well I'll be seeing you…stay in touch…"Said Alice to Ashley
"Sure will…you take care off that gym?" they all laughed as Alice walked away…
Ashley and Gemma watched Alice disappear completely and headed off into a forest, which would take them to the next town… They walked no stop all day until they decided to set up camp… Ashley was again thinking of her encounter with Suicune… Ashley got into her tent and settled into her sleeping bag. She turned on her torch and sighed.
"Ashley…"said a faint female voice…familiar… Ashley sat bolt upright.
"Suicune?"
"Hello…" said Suicune as she melted to her side…
"Warn me before doing that friend please" Ashley turned to her friend and smiled… Suicune nodded and lay next to her sleeping bag. Ashley got in it; she looked at Suicune's face. "Something's wrong I can tell, what's wrong?" her powers must be stronger than Entei thought
"Nothing…" Suicune said, "Do you consider me to be your friend?"
"Yes…and thanks for the thunderstone…"
"It was just a little gift…I have a question…" but she was cut short by a noise outside "I'll be back…I promise…" and she melted away. I wonder? Ashley shrugged and then Gemma's head appeared.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I though…I heard…never mind…" Ashley moved so Gemma could sit down.
"Can't sleep, huh?"
"Yep" said Gemma…
"Do you want to see my prized pokémon" Ashley rummaged around and held a poké ball.
"That's not Lola's ball…but it's a cool colour" Ashley smiled
"Go…" and mew popped out… "Meet mew…" Gemma was gob smacked. Mew looked at Gemma, yawned and curled up next to Ashley and soon was asleep.
"Cute…" was all Gemma could think of to say…
::*-*::
"Entei, your not yourself…" a young lad asked
"Suicune…she has become friends with a girl…but not just any girl but the next champion mistress…"
"Didn't you tell me that I had something to do with her?"
"Yes master Rad…her name is… Ashley Noishbarra"A/N: what is Suicune doing? {Entei: You got me} I wasn't asking you… and what were you cooking up with Rad… {Come to think of it…I don't know…} until next time kiddies…don't let a werewolf bite you…{Usgi: And I thought I was weird…"} {Gemma: Reality check…you are…} I never get any peace…
