The Knight Challenge Part 2
After having a long walk at the beachside, the group finally arrives at the FS Resort, one of the best resorts in the whole Sevestar Region. The bullies are stunned to see how fancy the resort looks, not only it has a small amusement park inside it, they can also see golf courses, beaches with bars, and also the people inside the resort.
"This is the FS Resort. FS means that it has five stars." Ash says. "I have booked this place 2 days before your challenge today since you guys will need some relaxation before you get the next Star Badge."
Reisa says, "It is your choice to believe Ash or not, since I know that some of you are stubborn to hear the advice from Ash."
The bullies aren't listening to Reisa's words, as they are surprised at the sight in front of them. Once they get into the lobby, they can see how big the lobby is and how fancy it looks. Mark enters the staff room as he is going to prepare their keys to their own rooms.
"Wow, this place really is gorgeous! It looks better than Hotel Richissime back in the Kalos Region." Serena says after looking around the lobby.
"We manage to find the best archeologists from the 7 regions to build this resort, Mark is actually the owner of this place while Ash being the president." Alice says.
Ash says, "I alone can't work so much since I might be exhausted, so I ask my siblings to help me out, and Mark volunteers to manage this place."
"Seriously?" Serena asks in shock. "You mean...Mark is the one that manages the place?"
"Is my girlfriend doubting me?" Mark says as he comes with room keys in his hands. "Hey are your keys." He gives the four keys to the group as Ash and the others head to their own rooms that Mark already prepared for them.
After leaving the others to their own rooms, Dawn and May are now opening their own room and they are stunned to see what is inside. There is a small living room that can view the whole beach and two big beds. Not only that but there is also a big bathroom with a golden-colored tub.
"I can't believe it...Ash really let us stay in a room like this?" May asks in disbelief.
"Yeah...he is treating us as special guests, and all we did is to bully him and to ruin him..." Dawn says.
After standing still for a while, the two of them frown as Dawn says, "Great...now I start to feel guilty about bullying him." Dawn says.
May looks down at the floor with blank eyes, she says, "You are right... all he wants to do is to make others happy, and what did we do to him? Trying to ruin their fun and even trying to kill him..."
Dawn says, "May, I have a question to ask you, do you think we should be like Serena? Earning his forgiveness and join their group?"
May thinks for a second and says, "Now to think about it, most of the revenging plan for the two of them are actually plotted by Gary and Misty...we don't actually have a reason to hate them for the mistakes we have done, right?"
"You're right. Why should we continue to be friends with them when all they did is to drag us down for the detentions...not to mention that we are also close to being disowned by our parents for our behavior as well." Dawn says.
"You're right. I know it is not right, but I think it is time we ditched them and join in Ash's side. But the problem is...will they be able to accept us?" May asks.
"We don't know if we don't try out. Let's not worry about it now." Dawn says as they decide to take a rest in their room.
The next day, Ash and his group of friends are already sitting at the table eating breakfast in the cafeteria, while the bullies were sleeping late. Dawn and May are the first ones that enter the cafeteria and they are in awe at the sight of many foods in front of them. But after they pick up their own meal, they decide to walk towards Ash's group. Finding two vacant seats, May asks them, "Um...can we sit here?"
The other 11 people are just staring blankly at them, as they are shocked to learn that the two of them are going to sit with them. Ash smiles at them and he says, "I don't see the reason not to, please help yourself."
The other 10 are looking at Ash like he is crazy, but Ash just shrugs it off as he knows what the two are doing. After sitting down, Dawn decides to be the first one to talk, "Ash, we are really sorry about our behavior towards you in the past. I was hoping if we can be friends again..."
As the others are looking at them with a curious expression, Ash looks like he already knows the truth and he says, "I notice that you two have been feeling guilty all this time, but can you tell us what makes you change your minds?"
May says, "After we intentionally poisoned you, the two of us had noticed how desperate we are to humiliate you and also want you to suffer. But even all of that, you still treat us like nothing ever happened, we realized that we had made bad friends and we are ashamed of ourselves."
Minami says, "Wow...that is really something that we didn't expect from your mouth."
Ash says, "What matters is that you change your behavior for the better. Holding grudges will do more harm to yourself than hurting others, which is why I really don't like to do revenge and I let them bully me in the Kalos Region."
The group is amazed to hear the words, Serena says, "Wow...good wisdom."
Ash says, "Thanks. So want to be friends?" Ash stretches out his hand, much to everyone's shock. Dawn and May then shake his and then they decide to have a chat.
After the other 6 have come, they decide to start the challenge. Mark says, "May, Gladion, Serena, and Emily, the Fighting Type Knight Challenge will be full of exercise. Are you ready to do this?"
Emily says in determination, "I am ready with my Lucario."
May thinks for a while and says, "I think I can give it a shot."
As Ash tells them to run around the whole stadium, the six people are seeing Dawn talking to Eve and Alice happily about fashion, and they are not happy about it.
"When did the two get along with them?" Trip asks.
"I don't know." Drew says. "And I don't know why, I feel jealous of them."
"Me too." Paul says.
"Why do we want to be jealous of them?" Misty says while folding her arms. "They are just traitors, that's all."
Gary, Iris, and Trip nod in agreement, while Drew and Paul are just thinking otherwise.
After May and the others are finished, Ash sends out a Marshadow, and they are going to do the same moves as him, and they all did it.
"You deserve this Fighting Star Badge." Ash says as he gives them the badges, the four are tired, but they are happy that it is over.
"Do you need some water?" Alice hands the water bottles to all four of them, they then drink happily.
"I feel alive again..." Serena says.
"Me too." May says as they laugh.
Not that they have finished the Fighting Type Trial, they are taking the ship towards Elmososha Town. They stop the ship in the middle of the ocean and Ash calls Emily, Gladion, Misty, and Gary, as the four of them are challenging the Water Type Knight Challenge.
"For the water Type Challenge. I will need you to wear these." Ash takes out 4 mermaid tails, Gary asks, "Are we seriously going to wear this?"
Reisa says, "Are you questioning the challenge that I made? We are going underwater, you must be going to wear this."
Gladion says, "I guess it can't be helped."
As Gladion and Emily wear the tails, Misty says to Gary, "Maybe this is fun, after all, considering I wanted to be a mermaid."
Gary says, "I just hope that we can get it done quickly, I really don't like everyone seeing me a mermaid."
As they all dressed up. Ash and Reisa then take them for a dive.
May asks Lillie, "Where are they going? I mean...what is the Water Type Trial about?"
"They are going to the one and only mermaid kingdom in the bottom of the sea. It is also a perfect place for the second task." Lillie says.
"Well, I feel sorry for Gary to wear that." Dawn laughs, but then she realizes something, "Wait, did you say the Mermaid Kingdom? There is a place like that in this ocean?"
Eve types a laptop and shows the pictures of the Mermaids and the castle made from corals. The girls are looking in awe and Serena says, "Amazing."
After an hour, everyone gets back to the shore. Ash says, "You swam with the mermaid tails for 1-kilometer distance, and your mermaid voices are approved, so you can have this Water Star Badge." Ash says as he hands them the badges.
"Yeah, Floatzel, we have the badge!" Emily cheers with the Pokemon.
"I have to admit, I really this experience. Even though I have never seen a real mermaid before." Misty says to Gary.
"Well, it is fun, too." Gary says with a sigh, but that doesn't make them change their expressions towards Ash and the group.
The next day, they all head to Elmososha Town for the Electric Knight Challenge, Paul, Emily, and Gladion are taking the challenge as the first one is the action pose guessing.
"This is for you, Paul." Ash says as he slashes a door. "What am I holding?"
Paul thinks for a second and says, "Are you holding a sword?"
"Correct. Now all of you three have passed the first task, now we are going to the second task." Ash says.
Meanwhile, the group is looking around the studio, Serena says, "Wow...so this is the place where we can watch and film movies?"
"Yes." Lillie says. "Ash and I had filmed our first movie here."
"The Dragon Slayer, right?" Dawn asks. "We have noticed how you two acted in the movie."
"Yes." Minami says. "And thanks to the movie, their own Sylveon evolves when they are acting and it is also the reason why it becomes a great hit."
Sylveon gives a proud smile before nudging Pikachu, who groans as he didn't have any participation in the movie.
As for Ash and the ones who are doing the task, Paul says, "It does not matter to me, all I care is strength, not for something as useless as a bond. If you want to prove me wrong, go ahead."
Ash claps and says, "Good acting. Paul. Maybe you should join the drama club."
Paul says, "I will consider it once we go back to school."
Ash nods as he gives out the 3 badges to Paul, Emily, and Gladion. Emily can't wait to try it out with Pachirisu.
"Now the trial is done, I'll treat you guys to a movie before we leave this place." Ash says as they all head to the movie theater.
Here is the new chapter. May and Dawn now become good from this chapter on. I will have all the bully gang turn good in the progress, but first these two.
