The Knight Challenge Part 1
It is a week after Ash was poisoned, he is now feeling better and all the homework he missed is also finished. Right now he is working at the student council with Lillie as the gang of 8 walks up to them. The same gang tries to poison him a few days ago, and Ash knows that they are up to something bad again.
"It is you guys again. What do you want this time?" Ash asks as he tries to control his anger, he can't show bad stuff in front of the crowd as it will ruin his name in the Sevestar Region.
"We want to have someday off since we want to get the Star Badges." Trip says as he hands in the paper. It is the registration form for the Knight Challenges and the Star Badges.
Lillie takes over the paper and she nods. She says, "Sure. So 8 of you are doing the knight challenges. As the rule, each of you has to have a knight to accompany you."
Ash says, "We will accompany you as we will take you to the respective gyms for the knight challenge, you should prepare yourselves first and we will call you once we are done.
The 8 of them thank Ash and Lillie as they leave, Lillie sighs as she groans at Ash, "Why do we agree to this? I mean...we know that they are going to use those Star Badges for no good."
Ash says, "We are the presidents of the student council, and we can't refuse the students participating in knight challenge despite we hate them. Besides, Serena, your brother, and Emily are also going to take part in it. So we should take them, too."
Lillie says, "I guess it can't be helped, it is lucky that we can make copies of ourselves to do so." Ash nods in agreement.
"So who are we going to accompany them?" Ash asks, and they decide to pick people to follow them.
Back outside, Misty says, "Now we can leave this school for a while, I really don't like the fact that our classmates keep looking down on us."
Gary says, "All for that loser. But now he and Lillie are going to accompany us."
"They can't do things to us." Dawn says. "So we should be fine."
Then they see Serena walking towards the council with Emily, the two stop as they all have a staredown, then the two of them head inside the student council.
In the meeting room, Ash tells them about going with the 8 people, despite they are groaning, they can't do anything since they know how Ash is a great person to treat enemies as guests. In the end, Ash has picked 9 more people so that they are going to follow them to make sure they are not going to do anything any good.
After a few days, the group leaves for the Silkan City with Aurora's permission. Minami, Golly, Insey, Trenor, Reisa, Alice, Mark, Eve, and Drandon also come with them to check out and also as each of their knights.
"There are 18 types of Star Badges, so I will tell once, you will need a Pokemon that is specifically with the type in your team to get the badges, if not, then you can't participate in any one of them." Ash says to them. The Bullies are groaning that they don't have every type of Pokemon, so they can only choose the ones they have.
Gary chooses Psychic, Water, Rock and Dark, Misty for Water, Iris for Dragon, Paul for Electric, Steel, Dark and Ground, Dawn for Ice, Normal, Fairy and Fire, Drew for Ground, Poison, Grass and Bug, May for Fighting, Flying, Ice and Normal, Trip for Ghost, Fire, Grass, and Flying.
Gladion has a Silvally which he reveals to be both his and Lillie's father, which is still confusing to everyone as they don't remember when they go to Aether Paradise and transform him, so he can partake in all the knight challenges, Serena wants to do Fairy, Fighting, Psychic and Fire, and Emily has almost every Sinnoh Pokemon, so she also tries every challenge. Because Gladion and Emily can partake in all the challenges, so the other 8 bullies are jealous about it.
Their first stop is the Silkan Medical Center inside the RPA Company, Ash calls out to the ones who are challenging the Normal Type Knight challenge, May, Dawn, Emily, and Gladion, Ash takes the four inside the area and gives them the berries and the equipment.
"The first task is simple." Ash takes out 4 cards, "Pick a card and you will try to make the potions that are listed on the card."
"We are making potions?" Dawn asks in confusion, and the others just nod.
"If you have learned everything from Professor Amelia, this won't be a problem. The instructions are also inside. And this task will have a Legendary to be the judge." Ash says as the four decide to get started.
The four of them then sends out Silvally, Blissey, Delcatty, and Lopunny for help, and they made the potions as Meloetta does the judge. Meloetta then tells Ash the results as he nods, "All four of you have made the color that it wants, so you all have passed the task."
Emily and Gladion nod while Dawn and May sigh in relief. Then Ash takes them to the next task as they are going to do a model operation. This causes them to pale as they have never done it before, but with their determination, they manage to do it right with their carefulness.
"The second task is also complete. I must say that you really know how to perform surgery. Therefore as the Champion of the Region, I present all four of you the Normal Star badges."
The four get their own badges and they head back to meet others. As Ash, Emily, and Gladion talk to their own group, Misty asks, "How did it go?"
Dawn says, "The challenge is really hard, but we manage to get them." May and Dawn show them the badges, Gary says, "Good. So can we share it?"
Ash hears it and says, "I forgot to mention, the badges can be only used for the one who has completed the knight challenge, others who are using it will break it. Just like the Z Crystals."
This causes Dawn and May to tense up and then Dawn turns to the group and says, "Well, then sorry. We don't want to break this if we want to prove we are stronger."
Meanwhile, Gladion asks, "So all the challenges are this hard?"
Alice says, "Well, there are easy ones, too. So it should be no problem."
As they nod, they head to the next place. After trying to calm Misty from screaming bugs at the Bugger Forest, they arrive at the Resout Town and Ash takes them to the dessert store. The group is in awe at the sight of desserts that are labeled on the menu, and some who are not going to attend them, like Minami and the others, are just going to order some for their treat.
"Are we going to have a sundae at this store?" May asks Ash, only to be hit by the others.
Drew says, "Do you think we are here for eating? We are here for the knight challenge."
Ash says, "You don't need to be rude about this, this store belongs to my family as well. I can order some of the best desserts for you."
He then purchases some desserts even for the gang, they just silently eat them as Eve asks, "Ash, are you being nice to them even though they had been trying to kill you?"
Ash says, "Well, to be honest. I believe that there is goodness inside them. Besides, the money I spent for them barely leaves a dent from my bank account, so why not?" He tastes a spoon of ice cream and says, "Besides, if I always plotting revenge on them, I won't be better than them."
Reisa says, "Well, that is why everyone in the region loves you."
Serena asks, "So what will be the challenge here?"
Mark says, "Well, since this is a dessert shop, it will be based around desserts, so the first one is a one-minute ice-cream challenge, when finding the paper in the ice cream, you will pass the test."
"But can we not eat it and find the paper?" Emily asks.
"You can, but it is better to eat since the paper is the same color as the ice cream and it will be harder to find." Insey says. "In fact, I was actually the one that designs the challenge."
"I see." Glaidon says. "You really are a dessert fan, huh?"
"Of course. This store is basically mine." Insey says.
"And the second one is the cake decorating, like Meloetta, we will choose Vespiquen to be the judge."
The group nods as Ash also explains the rules to Drew, who thinks the things are too girly, but he decides to give a shot.
Gladion uses the Silvally, since it can change into all types like Arceus, Emily uses Vespiqueen and Drew uses Masquerain. The three then passed the tasks with ease.
Passing the Emerald Forest, they arrive at the Greeny City. They arrive at the garden as Drew, Trip, Gladion, and Emily are going to take part in the Grass Trial. Ash is standing in the middle of the garden and he says, "Now for the first task, you need to find the golden flowers."
The others are confused and Emily notices a yellow flower and picks it. She says, "Like this one?"
Much to their surprise, the flower suddenly turns red and it fades away. Trenor says, "This will be the wrong answer, and also, you need to find 4 flowers since there are 4 of you."
Trip asks, "Really? Picking flowers? Is this some sort of joke?"
Ash says, "Don't underestimate the task, it is harder than you think. I suggest that you send out your Grass Types for help if you want to finish this as quickly as possible."
The four of them nod as Drew and Emily send out Roserades, then Trip sends out Serperior. They all find the Golden flowers after several minutes of searching in the fields. Then the second task is to find the miracle seeds hidden in 50 vases, which they also completed as they get the badges.
Dawn notices the clothes shop and asks, "Can we go there? Maybe there are a lot of clothes that we can find."
The boys who are in the group are not liking to do this, as for the other girls, they just look at Ash and he can only sigh, "I guess there is no reason not to do it since we are here. But we need to be quick if we want to get to the resort in time."
As the girls go in, Gladion asks, "Resort? What do you mean by that?"
"What he means is the FS resort." Mark says, which causes the group to get surprised. "It is the best resort in the world, so you probably have heard of it."
Gary asks, "Are we going to stay there? That luxurious resort?"
Drew asks, "Is this some sort of joke?"
"Of course not." Ash says, "In fact, we have booked the rooms for every one of you so that you can have a good night's rest before challenging the next knight challenges."
The boys are in shock since they can't believe that Ash is being nice to them despite what they did. They start to think if they are the ones who are wrong.
Here is the first of the six-part chapter of the knight challenge. Each chapter will be having 3 types. I hope you enjoy it.
