Chapter 37 Magician Training

After the Summer Camp is over, the group of seven bid farewell to the others as they continue their journey to Shalour City. On the way, Ash is playing ball with Sylveon, Pikachu, and Fennekin.

"Here you go. Sylveon, catch!" Ash throws the ball and Sylveon catches the ball with the feelers.

"I did it, Pikachu, you too!" Sylveon tosses the ball, and Pikachu catches it without a problem. But when Pikachu tries to throw the ball to Fennekin, the ball flies really hard as Fennekin is running towards it.

"Fennekin! Watch out!" Ash yells as he sees the small creek in front of the fox Pokemon. The Fox Pokemon notices it and he can't stop himself.

"Psychic!" Just then, they hear a voice, and Fennekin and the ball are floating in mid-air.

"What..." Clemont asks. "A Psychic Attack?"

Then Fennekin is on the ground as a girl wearing a black cape accompanied by Braixen walks by."You should be careful, Fennekin is a Fire Type after all. You don't want to know what will happen if he accidentally jumps into the river."

Ash says, "Thank you for your help, um..."

The girl says, "I am Kyute. And this is my partner Braixen."

Serena looks at the evolved form of Fennekin and says, "You have a Braixen as well? Wow..."

Then the other seven people also introduce themselves. And then Bonnie notices a stick on her waist, she asks, "What is that thing? Kyute?"

Kyute looks at the stick and says, "Oh, this is a Magic Wand of course."

After the silence, the group are surprised and let out a great EHHHH~~

Clemont says, "Are you serious? A Magic Wand?"

Golly asks, "Does that mean you are a Witch?"

"I am a witch in training. My family is witches that hold some special powers." Kyute says.

"Can you show us some magic tricks?" Bonnie says.

"Well, I am not sure." Kyute says as she waves the wand. "Accio, Rock!"

As she shows the power, the thing that appears is a small rock, which suddenly flies towards her and accidentally hits her face, causing her to fall backwards.

"Are you okay?" Serena asks in worry.

"I am fine. Braixen, can you give me a hand?" Braixen uses Psychic to make the rock disappear.

"That was so amazing." Serena says.

"I know, but I couldn't really control where the rock is flying, I can only let it fly towards me..." Kyute says.

"Can you teach us about it?" Ash asks. "And that Psychic attack is also cool for Braixen."

"Sorry that I can't teach you how to perform magic, since it runs from my family blood, but I can teach your Fennekin how to use Psychic."

"Thank you, Fennekin, you are going to learn your first Psychic move." Ash says as the Pokemon nods.

Once they are at the place, Kyute says, "The first thing that Fennekin must do is to concentrate. And a good meditation is a perfect way to concentrate."

As Braixen and Kyute are sitting beside each other, they close their eyes and concentrate. Kyute says with her eyes closed, "Ash, you'll have to try it with Fennekin. It might help boost the Psychic Powers inside Fennekin."

"Okay." Ash says as the two Pokemon are concentrating. Pikachu and Sylveon also decide to try out the meditation as well.

The others are watching as they aren't moving, East says, "Wow, they really are doing it."

Mark says, "Indeed. Maybe they are really concentrating on meditation..."

Clemont says, "There is only one way to find it out." As the group turns to him, he says, "After all, the Future is now, thanks to science! Clemontic Gear on!"

Just then, 5 small robots with red, yellow, green, blue, and purple colors appear in front of Clemont. "The best robots that make the noises and sounds to distract people. I called it the Noise and Sound Distracting Machine!"

Bonnie frowns, "Another direct and boring name..." Dedenne also agrees with Bonnie's annoyance.

"Now when I turn on the switch, I can make them do whatever they are doing to the others. Such as making noises." As he presses the switches, 3 robots are making noises while the two of them are stomping the ground as it is a drum.

"It sure is noisy..." Golly says as she is covering her ears.

"But look at them..." Serena says as they look at Ash and the others, as they are still closing their eyes like they are not here in this world. "They aren't moving."

"That is because that it is low, once I turn on the volume..." Clemont says as he presses the volume, the noise is getting bigger as the group has to cover their ears.

"Now my ear is going to explode!" East yells, but his voice is covered by the loud volume.

But much to Clemont's horror, one of the machines starts to attack the other, causing the second one to attack the third. And all the robots are fighting against each other and Clemont says, "Oh no!"

"Clemont, they are fighting, make it stop!" Bonnie yells as everyone is also in the same panic.

"But I can't." Clemont starts to press each button and then the remote explodes, as well as the robots. Then Clemont is blasted black once more with the others are sighing at the explosion.

"Another failure." Golly says.

But the large sound causes Ash, Pikachu, Fennekin, Sylveon, Kyute, and Braixen to wake up. Ash is confused at the sight and he asks, "Huh? What just happened?"

"You didn't know a thing?" Serena asks with surprise.

"I guess that we are too concentrated..." Ash laughs. "Let me guess, Clemont is doing that again?"

"You can say so..." Bonnie sighs.

Kyute says, "Now for the next training, Fennekin has to emit the psychic energy once it is concentrated. Let's use the flower."

She places the flower on the ground and says, "Ingrain!" Then the flower is now attached to the grass.

"Wow..." Ash says.

"Fennekin, now try to use your powers to make the petals fall. Braixen, why don't you show him?"

Braixen nods as he focuses on the petals, then they start to fall immediately.

"Amazing..." Serena says.

"Fennekin, use your Psychic powers." Ash says as Fennekin is staring at the flower, but there are no petals falling down.

Ash says, "Then I will try it as well. Kyute, do you have any new flowers?"

Kyute says, "Huh? You are going to try it? But you don't have any magic powers like me..."

But she is surprised to see that Ash finishes it in one try. Fennekin sees how he does it and does the same, then the petals also fall down.

"Amazing...maybe you are also a wizard..." Kyute says. "To be able to make the petals fall is not a small feat."

Ash says, "I guess so. But let's say it is not actually magic..."

During lunch, Kyute also says about her siblings. "Sometimes my sisters are really annoying. They will always wave their wands and they don't need to do any housework, but I have to do my own housework since I haven't learned the advanced yet..."

Golly says, "Well, doing house chores isn't always bad."

"I agree, even though it is tiring, we still can find som joy from it. So anything else with your sisters?" East asks.

"Natalia is a helpful person, but she has an annoying laugh. She laughs as if she is from a wealthy family, and we can't stand it. As for my second sister Hajite, she always refers to me as a little kid even though she is only 1 year older than me."

"Sounds like you have a nice family." Clemont says.

"Of course. I am proud to be a member of the Magician Clan." Kyute says.

"Wait for a second...Magician Clan? Is that one of the three Clans in the Kalos Region?" Serena asks.

"So you have heard our clan?" Kyute asks. "That's new."

"Well, we did manage to meet the people from the other two. The Ninja and the Samurai." Ash says. "And I asked them to train my Froakie and Chespin."

"I see. The three starters from the Kalos Region are based on our clans as well." Kyute says.

Once the rest is done, Kyute says, "For the final part, Fennekin has to try it on an animated object. Watch this."

As Kyute is standing in front of Braixen, it uses Psychic to lift her up and then down. "Now you try it."

"Fennekin, use Psychic!" Ash says as Fennekin tries to use the attack, but Ash is still staying on the ground.

"I know you can do it, just try it harder." Ash says as Fennekin keeps focusing his powers.

Bonnie says, "I think it is working."

"Yeah." Mark says.

But once Ash has one foot leave the floor, they hear another explosion as they turn around to see Pikachu and Sylveon in the net. Fennekin also stops the move as he starts to growl.

"Pikachu! Sylveon!" Ash yells.

"What in the world..." Then they see a balloon with the head of Meowth in a wizard hat appears in the air.

(Insert Team Rocket Motto)

"Team Rocket?" Kyute asks. "Are they also magicians?"

"No, they are idiots who never learn their mistakes." East says.

"Are you calling us idiots again?" James yells.

"Whatever, this time with the newly improved balloon, we managed to get Pikachu and Sylveon this time." Meowth says. "And we will be taking two more."

Meowth presses the button as both Fennekin and Braixen are also captured.

"Oh no. Braixen!" Kyute yells.

"Now this is our farewell." Jessie says as the Team Rocket's balloon is going away.

"They are getting away!" Ash yells.

"Don't worry. Accio! Balloon!" Kyute waves her wand and then the balloon suddenly stops.

"Huh? Meowth, why isn't our balloon moving?" James asks.

"I don't know." Meowth says, and then they are pulling back to Kyute, who managed to dodge in time. The balloon falls down to the floor and the trio stands back up.

"Is that what you want to play..." Jessie sends out Yanmega while James sends out Cofagrigus. "Bug Bite on that girl!" "You too with Shadow Ball!"

The two Pokemon fire their attacks, but Braixen's Psychic stops them and sends them back to them. Fennekin also wants to fight, it roars, and then something happens. Instead of the Psychic Energy, five Fire rings appear and it hits both Pokemon, also freeing the rest.

"What the..." Jessie is shocked.

"That's Fire Spin!" Clemont says.

"You learned Fire Spin." Ash says, "That's so awesome!"

As the two Pokemon are down, Meowth says, "I have a bad feeling about this..."

Kyute says, "Braixen, use Psychic!" Ash says, "Pikachu, Thunderbolt, Sylveon, Moonblast, Fennekin, Fire Spin!"

All four attacks combine into one and the Rockets are trembling in fear, until the attacks are contacted with the trio and they yell, "We're blasting off again!"

Once they are gone, Kyute says, "Who knows that your Fennekin learns Fire Spin in the end?"

"Fire Spin is also a good move. Though he didn't learn Psychic..." Ash sighs.

"Don't worry. Practice some more and I'm sure that he can do it." Kyute says as she looks at her watch. "And I must leave now since there is a distance from my home."

Fennekin also walks over to Braixen, who uses the stick to show that they will have a battle in the future. Fennekin uses the paws to agree on the promise. Then the group bids farewell to the girl as she leaves.

Here is another chapter. And this is also an original chapter. I hope you like it and the next chapter will be Shalour City.
