Aloii!!!
I'm not dead n_n, I've been buried in tons of homework and I have a tiny writer's block. But I'll get over it ; -). . . I hope.
"Deberias haberme contado" means "You should've told me". . . I cracked my head trying to figure something out. I was going to call this story "You should've told me" but then I said it in spanish and I liked it =)

Here's chapter 4
~*~*~*~*~*
Later that day. . .
Delia, Samuel, Brock and May were standing outside the stadium Ash was supposed to battle in.
"Where could he be?" Delia said worriedly and looked around. She hadn't been able to calm herself down ever since Ash stormed out of the cottage.
"Mrs. . . erm, miss. Ketchum, I'm sure that he'll show up any second." May said.
"Ash will surely come with Misty and Tracey." Brock added.
Just a few minutes later, May saw Misty and Tracey walking towards the crowd they were standing in.
"There they are!" she said. Brock looked where May was looking, he saw Misty and Tracey but no Ash was visible.
"I can't see Ash." Brock said. Tracey noticed them and started to walk towards them with Misty right behind him.
"Hey!" he greeted.
"Hi!" they greeted back.
"Do you happen to know where Ash is?" Delia asked.
"Nope. . . he came to us yesterday but he was gone this morning. I guess that he'll show up in the last second." Misty said, "Oh! God. . .you're pregnant!" Misty burst out as she saw Delia's growing belly.
"Congratulations!" she said happily as she embraced Delia carefully.
"Welcome to the Hoenn League tournament! The main entrance will be open in one minut." A voice announced. People began to form a long line as they were let in.
Misty was starting to worry, where had Ash gone? She looked towards the trainer's entrance and to her big surprise there was a medium large crowd, with mostly women in her age and a little older and alot of a smaller kids.
"Misty?. . . What are you looking at?" Tracey asked.
"Over there." Misty said and nodded towards the trainer's entrance. Tracey looked over where Misty had pointed. He saw the crowd, but he didn't get the big idea. The rest of them had also turned around to see what was going on.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"Um. . . wait here, I'll be right back." She said and went towards the crowd. May was not going to just stand there so she went after Misty and followed her to the crowd.
Misty was now getting closer to the crowd and saw that the person in the spotlight was a man, he was wearing black jeans, a white T-shirt with a black, somewhat thin, unbuttoned shirt over the T-shirt, which looked very good on him.
Misty sighed in relief, it couldn't be Ash, first off, the man was wearing black clothes and secondly his hair was broshed.
But Misty decided to get a closer look anyway, that man could be Ash's opponent. He could be showing off his Pokémon and it would help Ash alot to know which Pokémon his opponent would use against him.
She heard a cute little "Pika" sound, "Does he have a Pikachu?" she asked quietly to herself. Could it be the person she thought it was?
He was a he, he was in the tournament, he was obviously known so that meant that he had been in league tournaments before and he had a Pikachu.
"What if that's Richie?" she thought. That would mean that Ash's first battle would be really tough. She managed to squeeze herself through the crowd to get a decent look at the man who was drawing so much attention to himself.
Her jaw hit the ground, just a couple of meters from her, stood a new Ash Ketchum. He looked alot different, it was hard to explain, it wasn't only his new look that changed him, his ego seemed to have dug itself up from wherever Ash had managed to hide it for these past years.
May had seen him too, and she was to say the least, stunned. She could hardly recognize him. Pikachu, who had been sitting by Ash's feets , ran up to his left shoulder as he excused himself and went into the stadium, without noticing Misty's nor May's stunned faces.
~*~*~*~*~*
"Steelix is unable to battle!" the referee said and raised the red flag.
"The green trainer has only one Pokémon left, while the red trainer has two! What will be his next choise?. . .An Arcanine! This will be a hot battle, foks! Charizard vs. Arcanine! Charizard looks a little tired, but it has given us alot of surprises. What could the red trainer have up his sleeve?" the annoucer said to the wild crowd.
"Arcanine, use Earthquake!" the green trainer ordered his Pokémon. Arcanine got ready to do an earthquake, when Ash yelled,
"Charizard, fly!" Charizard flew up high and stayed there. Arcanine's attack missed. Charizard flew down towards Arcanine and gave it sucha push that it flew against the green trainer's podium.
"Arcanine!"
"Seismic Toss." Ash said calmly. Charizard took Arcanine, flew up high then threw it down back to the field. When Arcanine hit the ground, a big cloud of sand and dust was created, which made it impossible to see in which conditions Arcanine was in.
The cloud started to lighten up and the referee raised the red flag as he said,
"Arcanine has been defeated, the match goes to the red trainer Ash Ketchum!"
"Great job, Charizard." Ash said proudly as he took out Charizard's pokéball, "Return." Ash went down from the podium as the cheers from the crowd got louder. He stopped walking when Pikachu ran up to his shoulder.
"Pikachu, pika? (Aren't we going to go with the others?)" she asked.
"Dunno. . . that depends, Pikachu." Ash replied as he continued walking out of the stadium. That had been his first battle in this tournament and he had won with ease and he hadn't needed the help of Brock, Tracey nor Misty. Ash had passed by the locker rooms and was now walking towards the exit. The others would probably stay in the stadium to watch the rest of the matches that were being held today.
He did honestly hope that they wouldn't come, because if they did, his mom would probably be with them and he didn't want to see her.
Ash walked slowly away from the stadium, thinking of what had happened yesterday. He was so into his thoughts that he didn't hear the girl who was calling his name.
"Ash!" she yelled and made him turn around.
"Huh?"
"Are you that happy you won?" Misty asked grinning.
"Heh. . . yeah." Ash replied and looked down at his shoes.
"Are you okey?" she asked softly.
"I guess." He said and shrugged.
"Are you sure?" Misty asked and looked at him. How could he be feeling if he had changed so sudden?
"Yeah, of course I'm fine, I just won the first battle, six more to go and I'm in the finals." He said smiling.
"Hey!" they heard someone yell. They turned around and saw Tracey come out from the stadium and run towards them.
"Hey, Trace'." Ash greeted.
"Hi! I thought you've gone through that entrance." Tracey gasped as he pointed to one of the entrances, "And where did you go?" Tracey asked Misty.
"I went after Ash." She said.
"I know that, but which way did you take?" Tracey asked.
"That's one of the good parts of being a gym leader, officer Jenny let me pass through the same entrance Ash went through, without having to go around the whole stadium." Misty said smiling.
"Oh. . . we should go somewhere to celebrate your first victory, Ash." Tracey suggested. Ash didn't feel like celebrate anything, he just wanted to be alone but since they were so happy for him,
"Sure we'll celebrate!" he said, "Just as long we don't go to that mushroom restaurant." He added remembering the embarrasing event in that particular restaurant.
"Huh?" Tracey said, not understanding what Ash meant.
"Like we were allowed back in there after what you did." Misty said with a laugh.
"I don't think the staff took it that hard." Ash said.
"No?. . . Ash you started a chain of disaster in that restaurant." Misty teased.
". . . it looked pretty funny when you think about it." Ash said thoughtfully.
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed, giggling.
"What are you talking about?" Tracey asked.
"D'you remember when I told you about when me and Ash went out to eat? Well, we went to a very nice restaurant, everything was good until Ash tripped on his way out and turned the restaurant upsidedown." Misty explained.
"Aha." Tracey remembered both what she had told him and how he brutally had been awaken from his sleep to hear that story. They started to walk towards the city, talking about other embarrasing moments Ash had put them through..
~*~*~*~*
For about the hundreth time, Delia looked out of the window, hoping that her son would come back. But just like the other 99 other times, no one appeared. She sighed sadly. Samuel looked worriedly at her. He had suggested that they could go back to Pallet town and wait until the tournament was over to talk to Ash, but she refused, she wanted to solve it now and if they would wait 'til after the tournament, Ash could start to travel elsewhere and then she might never hear from him again.
Neither Brock or May minded that they stayed in the cottage. May seemed to be more worried than Delia at times, she had been worried ever since Ash disappeared from the cottage and his sudden change wasn't something that calmed her down.
Delia's reaction at Ash's new look must've been mixed with her pregnacy mood swings, since her exact words were, "What the hell has he done?!". She actually cursed. Her reaction was quite surprising for Brock and May, but Samuel seemed to be somewhat used to it.
Samuel got up from where he had been seated and said,
"I'll go out to search for Ash, Delia."
"Sam, no! He's very upset and he has a horrible temperament." Delia said, trying to convice Samuel not to go out.
"Doesn't matter. We've got to solve this once and for all. I'll be back as soon as possible." Samuel said, gave her a kiss on her cheek, reached for his coat and went out from the cottage.
"Be careful." She whispered and sat own on a couch as May entered the living room.
~*~*~*~*~*
The night sky was glimmering with all the stars, it wasn't a cold nor a warm night, it was like a typical autumn night up north.
Ash, Misty and Tracey were walking down a road after their little celebration. Ash wanted fast food and since he was the one who had won the battle they should go to a fast food restaurant but Misty wanted to eat something more classy so Tracey suggested that they could eat chinese food. It was on one side fast food and it was somewhat classy. Ash and Misty liked the solution and Pikachu didn't care, as long as she got ketchup, she was satisfied.
So they had eaten chinese food and they were heading to the Pokémon Center when all of a sudden they heard someone behind them.
"Ash! Wait!"
All three turned around and to their big surprise it was prof. Oak. Ash's face got a serious expression. Misty felt that Ash's fist got clenched down his side. She gave Tracey a meaning look, Tracey nodded slowly as the professor aproached.
"Ash, we need to talk." He said. Ash felt how his blood started to rush fastly through his body and how it started to boil in his veins. Who did he think he was? He couldn't order him around! He was nothing to him!
"You're nothing to me!" he said with hate in his voice.
"Ash, don't.." Misty said softly to him, knowing that he would regret all the things he was about to yell to the professor.
"What, doesn't my mom have the courage to face me that she had to send you?"
"Don't talk about your mother like that!" Samuel said. Ash was just about to raise his fist to give the professor a right hook when Tracey and Misty pulled Ash back, Pikachu had jumped down to the ground when Ash had his first little outburst.
"Professor, please leave." Tracey said.
"Let me go!" Ash complained. The professor looked at the struggling teens for a few seconds and decided that it was better to leave, which he also did.
Ash sighed in anger and in frustration as he saw prof. Oak disappear into the dark. Tracey and Misty let go of him. He turned around and started to walk to the opposite direction, both Misty and Tracey were about to follow him when he said,
"Let me be alone."
He continued walking with Pikachu right behind him and her ears were dropped to her sides. They knew that he needed to be alone now, that could help him understand the situation, or maybe not.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Uh-oh. . . .
. . . .
He seemed to be kinda angry *o* . . . hehe, silly comment. Anyway, Ash's first battle scene was written a couple of days before the episode when Charizard came back in Johto and before he left again. I was going to change that since Ash used Charizard at the Indigo and Johto tournament too, but since I'm lazy, I didn't have enough energy to bother.
I just wanted to clear that out . ^^
Oh, and I wasn't thinking of the word "pissed" as a cuss-word in the third chapter. . . sorry if that shocked you, yammitammy =)
Ciao!!
I'm not dead n_n, I've been buried in tons of homework and I have a tiny writer's block. But I'll get over it ; -). . . I hope.
"Deberias haberme contado" means "You should've told me". . . I cracked my head trying to figure something out. I was going to call this story "You should've told me" but then I said it in spanish and I liked it =)
