The Knight Challenge Part 5
After leaving Quest Town, they manage to reach Skyhigh City, a place where strong winds are blowing throughout the canyon.
"This place sure is windy..." Drew says as he tries to cover himself from the winds.
"It is because we are at the southern-most part of the region, and it is the place where winds are strong and birds like to gather." Eve says.
"So Gladion, Trip, Emily, and May, you four are the ones that are going to challenge the Flying Type Knight Challenge. This challenge is quite a life-threatening one if you aren't careful." Ash says.
"You must be joking." Trip says, but Lillie glares at his ignorance and arrogance as she says, "We are not joking. Bring out your Flying Types so we can start the challenge."
May says, "It is a good thing that I have captured a new Pokemon." She sends out a beautiful Pidgeot, which she rides for the whole challenge in the sky.
"I have a new partner as well, so I want to try it out." Emily says as she sends out Braviary. "Bravy, we are going to have the challenge."
Her Braviary sqwaks as it carries Emily on her back, the others also did the same thing with their Pokemon.
"The tasks will be going to the other side of the canyon with the flying Pokemon, but we will set obstacles to prevent you from heading forward." Trenor says. "Are you ready?"
They nod as they begin to take off into the sky. As for Ash and the others, they are riding on a hot air balloon. Serena says, "This canyon looks deep..."
"I know, who knows how many people fall from there." Mark says.
But unknown to them, Gary, Misty, and Iris are planning on ruining their challenge once more, they secretly send out Gary's Alakazam and it teleports away.
When the challengers are 200 meters away from the start, they see the whole place is covered in mist as they can't see.
"Emily, can you hear me?" Gladion asks, worrying for his girlfriend.
"Yes! But I can't see you!" Emily says. "The mist is too deep for us to see."
"Where did this mist come from?" May says.
"The first task is to get past the mist." Ash's voice booms in the air as they nod.
Paul has been with Ash and his friends, but he notices the 3 people are snickering, he then sends out a Pokeball. "Honchkrow, find the Pokemon and defeat them..."
Honchkrow nods as he flies into the air. Lillie asks, "Paul? Why sending out your Honchkrow?"
"Those three will try to sabotage the challenge..." Paul whispers to her.
As Emily is about to get past the mist, suddenly, Braviary stops moving forward and begins shaking.
"Hey, Bravy, what's wrong?" Emily says.
Ash says, "What is happening?" He then notices a Honchkrow, who then uses Dark Pulse, causing an Alakazam to reveal himself using Psychic.
"Hey! Whose Alakazam and Honchkrow are those?" Drandon asks.
Paul says, "The Honchkrow is mine, but I have no intention to interrupt the challenge. But that Alakazam belongs to Gary and he is trying to sabotage the challenge, let me handle this."
"Okay, Paul." Eve says. "We're counting on you."
The bullies groan as Paul is stopping them, but Gary won't stop as the two Pokemon are battling.
Once Emily's Braviary calms down, they get past the mist and go to the second challenge, which is getting past the strong winds.
"Paul, can you distract the Alakazam farther from the riders?" Ash asks.
"I'll try." Paul says.
May says, "Wow, the winds sure are strong..."
Trip says, "This is nothing. Go Unfezant." The bird Pokemon nods as it flies forward.
"We can't lose either." Gladion says as the other three try to catch up to him. Suddenly, Alakazam fires a Shadow Ball, Honchkrow dodges it, but the ball is heading towards Emily.
"Emily! Watch out!" Dawn yells.
As Emily turns around, the Shadow Ball knocks her off the bird.
"Emily!" Everyone in the balloon yells as they are worried about her safety.
Gladion monitors Silvally to fly lower and Gladion catches her bridal style, making her blush.
"Are you okay?" Gladion asks with a worried tone.
"I am fine…" Emily says, she can't face him straight.
Once Gladion puts her back on Braviary, they finish the course together. Honchkrow also defeats Alakazam with a Snarl.
"Thank you for saving me...Gladion." Emily hugs him, causing him to blush a little.
"No...problem..." Gladion says.
Once they get the Flying Star Badge, Ash notices that Gary and the other 2 girls are blaming Alakazam for the ruin. Eve asks, "What are you going to do with them?"
"I will report this back to Mother, they will be having more detentions." Ash says coldly.
The next trial is at Mt. Iceat. Iris yells, "Why are we here in this place! I hate cold."
"Can you please shut up! Some people need to challenge the Ice Type Trial." Alice roars back.
Drandon says, "Such a kid that can't put up with the cold, what kind of wannabe Dragon Trainer are you..."
Iris is angry at the comment, and before they can fight, Ash says, "No fighting, you two! Drandon, enough with the taunt."
"I am sorry, Ash." Drandon says.
"We will be stopping here, May, Dawn, Gladion, Emily, follow me and Lillie." Ash says.
They nod as they follow them, the bullies try to follow them as well, but the Elite 4 and Ash's siblings block their path.
"Don't think you are going to sabotage their trials. We have enough of you guys for doing something on purpose." Alice says.
"What we are doing doesn't matter to you!" Misty says. "Just get out of the way."
"You know what, we won't. You guys have been doing violence and the proof is the Alakazam back in the Skyhigh City." Eve says.
Ash and Lillie take the four of them to an area with a lot of blocks of ice, which is close to the Pokemon League Stadium. Ash says, "The first task is to create an igloo using the ice provided here."
"What? Creating an igloo? That is really a hard one." Dawn says.
"Yeah, but with Pokemon by our side, we can make it." Gladion says.
They take out Glaceon, Mamoswine, Silvally, and Glaceon to help build it, the four people also help to build their own igloos.
"Glaceon, use Icy Wind on the ice." Emily says. "You too." May says. Both Glaceon then finishes gluing the ice and the igloo appears.
"Okay, now we are done." Dawn says.
"That is great, now please follow me to the second task." Lillie says.
Ash and Lillie then lead them to a glass building. Once they head inside, there are a lot of snowball robots.
"You have to knock out all 4 robots by throwing snowballs with your Pokemon."
May says, "Alright, snowball fight time."
Gladion says, "Yeah, we can't lose."
The four all hide behind some barriers, then they, with the help of Pokemon, throw the snowballs at them. They have a perfect aim as the four robots fall easily.
"Now that is the fastest I have ever seen." Ash says.
"Indeed. You deserve those Badges." Lillie says as she gives the badges out.
"We did it, Glaceon!" Emily cheers with her Glaceon.
"This is quite fun." Dawn says.
"I agree." May says. "I think I enjoy this challenge."
Once they get back, they see the others using their own Pokemon to defeat all of the bullies' Pokemon, even though some of them have Star Badges with them. Ash asks, "Drew, Paul, Serena, what is going on? Why are they fighting?"
"What do you think?" Paul asks sarcastically. "Do you want another Pokemon from them to ruin the Knight Challenge?"
"I guess not." Ash says as he claps his hands, gaining their attention, "Guys, we are done here, we need to go."
The Elite 4 recall their Pokemon and glare at the traitors, then they also follow Ash and leave.
At Purgh City, they are now inside a hospital. Drew asks, "Is the last task in the hospital like the Normal Type one? I mean, we are in the hospital again."
Reisa says, "Well, it is actually not the same one."
Lillie says, "Before about that, we are going to tell a story. Cinderella is the Roselia who has been bullied by her sisters and her stepmother. And one day, she meets the godmother, who gives her the magic Shiny Stone to make her a beautiful Roserade. The effect will last until 12 o clock."
"The prince is the Vileplume, he gets the rose she drops, so he asks every female Pokemon to try out the rose. And Cinderella is the one with the rose, then the two get married and live happily ever after." Eve says.
"Why telling a fairy tale?" Dawn asks. "I mean...what does it have to do with the challenge?"
"The challenge will be based on the story. And they aren't pleasant. " Ash then gives out 3 janitor clothes and helmets.
Emily asks, "Why are we wearing this?"
"Good things should come with a price. You have to wear this or your clothes will be ruined."
When they get inside the first room, the three trainers immediately paled at the sight, there are trashes filled inside the room.
"The first task is to find the 3 rings inside this pile of garbage. Now good luck." Lillie says.
As the three are the only ones inside the room, Drew says, "Man… this place is more awful than the sewers."
"Yeah. Let's find it quickly and get out of here. Neither of us will want to stay here any longer." Gladion
They search everywhere, and with the help of Roserade, Silvally, and Toxicroak, they find the rings in a pile of thrown-away books, a bag of leftovers, and a box of plastic bottles.
After getting outside and taking off the helmet, they seem like they are breathing in the fresh air. May asks, "Are you guys okay?"
Drew says, "Yeah. Man, I really need a bath right now."
"Me too." Emily says. "But let's be patient and get past the tasks.
Mark says, "Okay, here is the second one." They take them to a room full of Roserade statues.
"I have 3 roses in my hands, place them in the right spot is your task." Ash says.
Each of them grabs one and finds the Roserade which matches the roses. After taking 20 minutes to find it. They quickly go back to Ash and the others.
"Even the trash can't beat your clean heart. I can say you are brave."
Emily asks, "So do we have a place where we can have a shower?"
"Of course. Let me take you to the bathroom." Ash says as they follow him.
Once they arrive at the shower rooms for doctors, they go clean up. But it takes quite a while since Emily insists to share a shower room with Gladion.
Once they are now done, Ash asks, "I suppose that you two didn't have too much fun, huh?"
Emily says, "Not at all, it is the most relaxing shower I had ever had."
Gladion turns red and says, "Yeah...I had to refrain myself from raping her..."
Lillie says with a teasing tone, "Oh, really?"
Minami says, "Enough of that, we should get going."
They nod as they leave the hospital.
Here is a new chapter. And here is the Flying, Ice, and Poison Type. The three challenges are easy to write since I already wrote them before in one of my old stories, Ash's Story, which was under rewriting. The next chapter will be the final of the Knight Challenges, which includes Psychic, Dragon and Fairy Type.
