Long Live; Awakens(moving to wattpad)
Ashley, Ash, Brock, Aipom, Chimchar, Espeon and Snorunt were are continuing their search for Pikachu by the help of Ash's and Ashley's newly caught Starly. Starly and Ascella have stopped the direction as they looked back at Ash, Ashley and Brock. "What is it?" Ash asked confusedly.
Brock stared directly towards Starly and Ascella with a concern look on his face and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Did you find something?" Ashley was biting her lower lip tightly.
Ashley slowly looked up at the distance to noticed the yellow sparks appearing and she turned her direction back to Ash with suspicious look on her face. "It's an electric shock wave!" Ash muttered under his breath as he was holding his fits tightly.
Brock looked back at Ash and Ashley with a serious look on his face and started speaking in a well manner tone. "And it's fairly powerful."
Ash clenched his fits tightly and started speaking in a confidence tone. "Pikachu!" Ash and the others started heading the direction of yellow sparks with Starly and Ascella flying straight the direction. Then later on Ash and Ashley short arrived at the other side of the forest looking at Starly and Ascella. "Starly!" Ash exclaimed as his Starly flew right into his shoulder.
Ashley directly stared at Ascella as she was placing her hand against her chest and started speaking in a softer tone. "Hey! Ascella have you found anything yet!" Ascella slowly shook her head no as she flew next to Ashley's shoulder with a disappointment look on her face. Ashley placed her hand against Ascella's forehead and started gently stroking it. "Don't feel bad about yourself, Ascella! I'm sure we're going to find a solution." Ashley noticed a younger boy with mid-length purple hair that has one big strand hanging over the middle of his face, small dark eyes, and wore a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves, a blue undershirt, dark purple pants and purple and navy sneakers with white soles. Then next to the purple hair trainer,is a yellow, round-bodied Pokémon with black stripes.
The purple hair trainer stared his direction towards Ash with an annoyed look on his face and started speaking in a cocky attitude. "That's your Starly? Don't get in my way."
"I'm sorry. Seems you tired to catch it." Ash apologized as he looked down on the ground while Ashley was continued stroking Ascella's forehead.
Brock, Aipom, Espeon, Chimchar, and Snorunt were running closer towards Ash and Ashley with a concern look on there faces, "That's electric shock wave was from Elekid?" Brock responded in a suspicious tone on his voice.
Ash turned his direction towards the purple hair trainer and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Hey, there's something I want to ask you. Have you seen a girl with a Pikachu in this forest?" Ashley was biting her lower lips tightly as she continued stroking Ascella's forehead.
The purple hair trainer groaned under his breath and stared speaking in a sarcastically tone. "No. So, are you going to be okay with this Starly?" Ash and his Starly started feeling a little bit confused. "I saw you earlier. In any case, when it comes to getting Pokémon, the strongest one is everything, right?" Ashley mouthed was opened wide in total shocked as she looked back at Ascella, who's a little bite upset.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "The strongest? How do you know which one's the strongest?" Ashley was biting her lower lips tightly as her Chimchar leaped into her shoulder.
The purple hair trainer sneered under his breath and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "You'll understand. Look." He then throws three Poké Balls which all contain a Starly each.
Ashley mouth was wide opened in total shocked and started speaking in a softer tone. "Wait, you caught all three Starly! That didn't make any sense. I just caught only one and I wouldn't trade it for anything." Ashley turned towards her Ascella who's nuzzling against her neck.
Ash slowly took a deep breath as helooked back at the purple hair trainer and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Eh? Three of them?"
Then the three Starly few over to the purple hair trainer and he started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "If you scan the Pokémon you got with the Pokédex, you can find out which techniques they know, right?" The purple hair trainer pulled out his black Pokédex as he began scanning the three Starly and continued speaking in a sarcastically tone. "You don't do it? If you know their techniques from the start, you can figure out which one you don't need, to get. Oh you know Aerial Ace! Shall we test it?" The purple hair trainer then returns them all to their Poké Balls, and started speaking in a cold tone. "You guys are no use anymore." The purple hair trainer throws two of the Poké Balls which send out the Starly with a blue light, signifying their permanent release.
Ash and the others watched the two Starly flying away from the purple hair trainer as he looked back at him and started speaking in a calmer tone. "You let them go? Even through you went through the trouble of making them your companion?"
The purple hair trainer started speaking in a lower tone. "They're not fully battle ready knowing merely techniques like Tackle and Sand Attack. Pathetic!" Ashley clenched her fits tightly as the rest of her Pokémon weren't please of his nasty attitude.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Any Pokémon can become strong if you raise them right!" Ashley slightly nodded of agreement as her Chimchar was sticking a tongue at him. The purple hair trainer started chuckling a little making Ash more angry from before. "What's so funny?" Ash clenched his fits tightly.
The purple hair trainer has cocky smirked on his face and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "Shall we test it and see? A Pokémon battle?"
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Yeah, I accept your challenge!" Ashley blinked her eyes a few times as she was shocked that Ash accepted the battle from someone that he never meet before.
The purple hair trainer has cocky smirked on his face and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "We'll go with three Pokémon. Since the trainer knows each Pokémon's strengths, and taking into account the balance of type, three versus three is best."
Ash slowly took a deep breath while his twin sister Ashley gave him the concern look on her face and started speaking in a softer tone. "I...only have two right now."
The purple hair trainer groaned under his breath and started speaking in a lower tone. "You gotta be kidding? Talking about pathetic...Elekid let's get going." He takes his Elekid and leaving the rest of the gang.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "If Pikachu was here..." Ashley glanced her direction towards at the purple hair trainer with Ascella next to her.
Ashley slowly looked towards her direction as Ash, Brock and her hear the sound of a something in the background from the distance and Brock started speaking in a panicked tone. "What's this subtle electric shock?"
Ash turned his direction back at Brock with a confidence look on his face and started speaking in determination tone. "It's Volt Tackle!" Ash, Brock, Ashley, Espeon, Aipom, Snorunt, and Chimchar begin running towards the direction of Volt Tackle. "Aipom, Swift! Starly, Gust!" Ash shouted loudly in the background.
Ashley clenched her fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Espeon, Swift! Ascella Gust! Chimchar, Ember! Snorunt, Powder Snow!" Aipom, Espeon, Chimchar, Ascella, Snorunt, and Starly burst through the trees. Espeon opens its mouth and yellow stars shoot out of it, Aipom's tail glows white, then it swings tail and yellow stars shoot out, Starly and Ascella flaps its wings at a high speed and a strong gust, Chimchar opens its mouth and shooting bolts of fire, Snorunt spins around and releases a stream of powder snow as it streamingthen come several snowflakes attacking Team Rocket's giant robot. Ashley rushed over to them with a concerned look on her face as she noticed a younger girl with fair complexion, blue eyes, and long blue hair of the same color. She wore a mini dress consisting of a black V-neck tank top with a white shirt under it, a very short pink mini skirt, and a red scarf. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink Poké Ball print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. She wears a bracelet on her right wrist and wore a pink knee-high boots with black mid-knee socks. She also has a small yellow backpack. Finally next to the younger girl, is a light-blue, penguin-like Pokémon, which is covered in thick down to insulate against the cold.
Ash was quickly rushing over through the trees with Brock on his side and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Pikachu!" Pikachu looked over to noticed that Ash, and the others with an excited look on his face. However, a robotic arm attacks Ash, knocking him out.
Ashley quickly rushed over to her twin brother's side with a worried look on her face and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Ash, are you alright?" Ashley kneel down to the ground to check if he was alright.
Brock was rushing over to Ash with a worried look on his face and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Ash!" Aipom, Starly, Espeon, Snorunt, Ascella and Chimchar were running over to Ash's side.
Ash stands up from the ground as he began speaking in a determination tone. "As if I'll lose!" Ash goes to get his Pikachu, but is stopped. Brock was trying to tell Ash to be careful. "But, Pikachu..."
Team Rocket step out onto a platform in front of it and saying there motto as Ashley was facing palm herself. "Oh! Great not this motto again." Ashley muttered under her breath.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Now!" Ash bounces off a tree and goes on a robotic arm and goes up. The robotic arms try to stop him, but one crashes into the robot. "Pikachu!" Ash tries to force the hand open and the machine begins to malfunction. "All right Pikachu, I'll save you now."
Brock, Ashley, Espeon, Snorunt, Chimchar, Ascella, Starly and Aipom runs closer to the giant robot. "Ash, hurry up, it's going to explode!" Brock shouted in the background. Ashley and the others watched the machine begins to malfunction. "Everyone, get down!" Ashley and the girl with blue hair were ducking over as the robot explodes and Team Rocket go blasting off once again. "Ash! Pikachu!" Brock shouted his name with a concern look on his face.
Ashley was biting her lower lip tightly as she felt tears was racing down on her cheek and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Ash! Pikachu! Please be alright right now."
The blue hair trainer stared at the broken machine with a worried look on her face and started speaking in a softer tone. "Pikachu!"
From the scrap, Ash and Pikachu emerge, Ashley slowly took a deep breath of relief as she watched her brother was alright after all, while Ash gave his Pikachu a big hug and started speaking his usual cheerful attitude. "Pikachu, I found you at last!" Ash's Starly flew straight at Pikachu with a small smile on his face. "Pikachu, I'll introduce you. This is Starly, our first new companion in Sinnoh. He helped us to search for you." Pikachu waved at Starly with a big smile on his face.
The blue hair trainer looked back at Pikachu with a small smile on her face and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Is that nice Pikachu?"
Ash was slowly walking over to her with his cheerful smile on his face and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Thank you for saving Pikachu. I am Ash, I came from Pallet Town. Nice to meet you."
Brock went over to Ash and the girl with blue hair. "I am Brock." Brock was introducing himself.
Ashley slowly walked over to the others with a small smile on her face and started speaking in a calmer tone. "The names Ashley, I came here all the way from Pallet Town like my twin brother and this is Espeon!" Ashley pointed to the blue hair trainer to her Espeon.
"Nice to meet you. I am Dawn. This is my partner Piplup." Dawn was introducing herself to the others as she was pointing to them to her Piplup.
Ash slowly took out his Pokédex from his pocket and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Piplup, eh?" Ash was checking on information of Piplup. "It's seem to be hurt, will it be all right?" Ash asked curiously towards Dawn.
Dawn slightly nodded a little as she was still looking at Ash and started speaking in a softer tone. "It's okay, it's okay! Isn't right Piplup?" Dawn looks down on her Piplup.
Ash was quickly putting his Pokédex back into his pocket and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Oh, you're a lively fellow!" Soon enough, Piplup falls down to the ground.
Dawn slowly began freaking out as she watched her Piplup fainted and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Ah! Piplup."
Brock quickly checked on Dawn's Piplup and started speaking in a calmer tone. "It's not okay at all!" Brock slowly placed his bag down on the ground as he kneel down to Piplup's level and gently picking him up into his arms. "Come now, let's treat your wounded wing." Brock sprays an concoction to heal it wing and continued speaking in a calmer tone. "As a trainer, you need to be constantly aware of your Pokémon's status."
Dawn slowly falls into her knees with a disappointment look on her face and started speaking in a softer tone. "Piplup, I'm sorry."
Brock looked back at Dawn with a cheerful smile on his face and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Let's take care of Pikachu's paw next."
Ash slightly smiled at his older friend as he watched Brock taking care of Dawn's Piplup and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Thanks, Brock."
A couple minutes later when Ash, Dawn, Brock and Ashley went to the a phone booth, as the gang makes a call to Professor Rowan, and started speaking in a calmer tone. "I am glad. I'm truly glad and you should be glad too."
Dawn slightly nodded of understanding as she was staring at the screen and started speaking in a softer tone. "Yes, Professor."
Professor Rowan speaking in a well manner tone through out the screen. "And soon I'll give Ash a package from his mother." Ashley blinked her eyes for a few seconds as she turned her direction towards her twin brother Ash.
Ash was biting his lower lips as his Pikachu was on his shoulder and started speaking in a calmer tone. "From Mom?"
Later on after finishing calling Professor Rowan from the phone booth, as they were walking down the road together.
"Eh? So Brock is a breeder? Amazing! It is my first time meeting a real breeder." Dawn exclaimed as they continued walking down on the road.
Brock slightly smiled at the young as they continued walking towards the laboratory and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "When we arrive at the laboratory, I'll make you some of the most suitable food for water-type Pokémon."
Dawn's Piplup began jumping up and down of excitement making Ashley chuckled under her breath, "Aren't you glad, Piplup?" Dawn exclaimed as they continued walking slowly towards the laboratory.
Officer Jenny comes on her motorcycle and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Ash! Ashley! I am glad you found Pikachu." Ashley slowly looked over her shoulder to noticed her that Brock was staring at Officer Jenny.
"Yeah, I am sorry to have troubled you." Ash apologize as he was looking down on the ground with an embarrassment look on his face.
Brock stared directly at Officer Jenny once more and started speaking in a seductive tone. "Nice to meet you!" Brock slowly grabbed Officer Jenny's hand tightly as he began flirting with her. "I am Brock, and I appreciate all that you have done for Ash." Ashley slowly started face palming herself multiple times as Espeon gave Brock an annoyed look. "Woah! As expected of Sinnoh's Jenny, beautiful! The beauty of Sinnoh for sure."
Dawn was blinking her eyes a few times as she watched Brock flirting with Officer Jenny and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Uh. What's happening?"
Ash quickly turned his direction towards Dawn and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Oh. That's the usual thing."
Ashley slowly took a deep breath as she looked at Dawn and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "Yeah. Unfortunately for him that they would always reject him."Espeon slightly nodded of agreement as she was giving Brock of an annoyed look.
Shortly later on when they've arrived at Professor Rowan's lab. "Woah! Cool!" Ash was amazed of his new outfit that his mother send him as he was slowly picking up one of them.
Brock started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "There's also a hat, a pair of shoes and a backpack." Ashley slightly nodded of agreement as her Espeon was just staring at the package.
Ashley watched her twin brother calling their mother shortly after he got dressed into his new clothes. Ash wore a black vest with a white collar and yellow stripe, a white short-sleeved undershirt, blue cargo jeans, and black and red sneakers. He also wore a red cap with a blue Poké Ball print. "I'm glad, Ash enjoyed the new clothes." Ashley muttered under her breath as she was looking down on the ground. "I need to see him right now but I don't know where he's at from his region." Ashley continued muttering under her breath some more as Espeon, Snorunt, Chimchar and Ascella were giving her the concerned look.
Later on Ash and the others started contacting Professor Oak. "I see, I see, so you are all safe and sound." Professor Oak responded calmly throughout the screen.
Ash slightly nodded of understanding as he has Pikachu on his shoulder and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Professor, the one who saved Pikachu is Dawn here." Ash pointed his fingers towards Dawn.
Dawn slowly does the bow on the screen and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Nice to meet you, I'm Dawn." Ashley slowly waved at Professor Oak as her Espeon was standing next to her side.
Professor Oak started speaking in a well manner tone through out the screen. "I heard you are starting trainer. Do your best!"
Dawn stares at the screen once more with a big smile on her face and started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "Yes. Erm...Could you be the person with the Pokémon comic haiku?!" Ashley, Brock and Ash were in complete shocked of what Dawn has been saying.
Professor Oak started speaking in a well manner tone through out the screen. "Oh! Indeed." Ashley mouth was wide opened in shocked.
Dawn quickly turned her direction towards Ash and Ashley as she began speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "Amazing! So Ash and Ashley is an friend of the comic haiku person!"
Ash slowly took a deep breath as he looked back at Dawn and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Um...He's not the comic haiku person, he's a Pokémon expert."
Ashley slightly nodded of agreement as she was looking at Dawn and started speaking in a calmer tone. "He does have a good point, Dawn! But I'm not a big fan of poetry."
Dawn looks back at Ashley and Ash with a big smile on her face as she started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "But on television he's always reading comic haiku."
Ash slowly began sweating nervously at the blue hair trainer and started speaking in a softer tone. "Oh...About that..." Ashley tries not to hold out her laughter.
Professor Rowan slowly was walking over to them with a gentle smile on his face and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Looks like they got you on that one, Oak."
Professor Oak started speaking in a well manner tone through out the screen. "Oh, Professor Rowan. Ash and Ashley, will you let me have talk with the professor?" Ashley slightly nodded of understanding as she was slowly walked over to the others.
Brock looks back at the others as they could hear Professor Rowan and Oak conversation as he started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Professor Oak is getting scolded!" Ashley was biting her lower lip tightly.
Dawn turns to Ash, Ashley and Brock with a confused look on her face and started speaking in a softer tone. "Hey, where are three of you headed?"
Ash slowly took a deep breath as he looked back at Dawn and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Because I want to challenge the Sinnoh League, I'm headed for the gyms."
Ashley looked back at Dawn with a small smile on her face and started speaking in a calmer tone. "I'm also entered the Sinnoh League like him but not only that I'm going to entered the Sinnoh Grand Festival." Ashley looked over her shoulder to watched her Snourunt, Chimchar, and Ascella hanging out with Aipom, Starly and Piplup.
Brock slowly took out his map from his pocket as he looks on the map and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "The closet gym from Sandgem Town is in Oreburgh City. Let's go there via Jubilife City."
Dawn exulted, pumping her fist in the air in delight. "If that's the case, let's go together! I want to become top Coordinator, so first I intend to take part in the contest opening at Jubilife."
Ashley stared directly at Dawn as she was taking a deep breath and started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "I don't mind at all Dawn, it would be great to travel with another girl." Ashley quickly whispered softly into Dawn's ear. "Beside the point that I don't want to deal with those two idiots." Ashley pointed to her towards Ash and Brock, which Dawn slightly chuckled.
Ash started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "All right! It's decided. In a travel, 'the more, the merrier' rule applies. Let's go together." Ash quickly turned his direction towards Brock and continued speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Isn't that so, Brock?"
Brock slightly nodded of agreement and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Yeah, I look forward to traveling with you from now on."
Chimchar, Snourunt, Ascella, Piplup, Aipom and Starly were quickly rushing over to the others as Ash was looking at them with his usual cheerful attitude. "Same goes for you, Piplup." Ashley slowly looked down on the ground as she was grabbing something from her bag. She slowly opened her palm hand, stared at the gorgeous tower gold key chain, as she was thinking about something is really important to her, then putting the item back into the bag. Later on Dawn, Ash, and Ashley returns there Pokémon expect for Espeon and Pikachu. "All right, we're going!" Ash exclaimed as he was putting away his Pokeball.
Dawn stared directly at Ash and Ashley with a confused look on her face and started speaking in a softer tone. "Huh? Pikachu and Espeon doesn't need a pokeball?"
Ashley slightly chuckled under her breath as she looked back at Dawn and started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "Espeon, doesn't want to be in a Pokeball? She does enjoyed staying right by my side." Ashley kneel down to her Espeon's level as she placed her hand against her forehead then began petting it. "Right, Espeon! You just enjoy staying outside and always being there for me." Espeon slightly nodded her head of agreement as she was purring.
Ash started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Yeah. My Pikachu hate entering a Pokeball." Ashley slowly gets up from the floor as she was slowly taking a deep breath.
Dawn was speechless of what Ash and Ashley have said before and started speaking in a softer tone. "That's unusual."
Professor Rowan was walking over to them with a big smile on his face and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Pokemon, just like humans, have different personalities."
Ash started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "So then, we're leaving. Thank you for everything." Ash was taking a bow to Professor Rowan as Ashley slightly nodded of agreement. Then they started walking out of the laboratory to be heading towards the next city. Ashley mouth was wide opened shocked as she saw the purple hair trainer standing next to the tree with his arms crossed,making both Ash and Brock flinched a little.
Professor Rowan stared at the purple hair trainer with a confused look on his face and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Ah! You are..."
The purple hair trainer was walking closer to the Pokémon Professor and started speaking in a lower tone. "It is Professor Rowan, right? I am Paul from Veilstone City. I was waiting for him." Paul turned his direction towards Ash with a serious look on his face.
Ash was completely confused about something as Ashley was biting her lower lip tightly and started speaking in a calmer tone. "For me?"
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "You competed a group three, right? Why don't we battle!"
Ash started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "Yeah! Whenever you want! I am Ash from Pallet Town. I am aiming to become a Pokémon Master. Nice to meet you." Pikachu quickly jumped out of Ash's shoulder as he was glaring at Paul.
Professor Rowan looked back at the two boys and started speaking in a well manner tone. "If it's so, go to the backyard." Then later on they all went to the backyard to watch the battle between Ash and Paul.
"I will be the referee." Brock was offering to them to be the referee for their battle against each other. Ashley was standing next to Professor Rowan and Dawn with her Espeon on her side.
Dawn started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "This is my first time seeing a real Pokémon battle." Dawn was getting excited since it's the first time seeing a Pokémon battle in person.
Ash turned his direction towards Dawn with a big smile on his face and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Then watch carefully, a Pokémon battle is full of passion." Paul slightly chuckled at his stupidity. Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "What's so funny?"
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "I just thought what you said was very entertaining. The fight is, as I said earlier, three versus three. We make them fight one to one without changing Pokémon. The one who get two wins is victorious. How's that?" Ashley was biting her lower lip tightly as she hold her keychain tightly.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Fine! Starly, I choose you!" Ash was sending out his Starly from it's Pokeball.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Starly, standby for battle!" Paul was sending out his Starly from it's Pokeball to the battlefield and continued speaking in a lower tone. "I will let you go first."
Ash glanced at Paul once more clenching his fits tightly and started speaking in a determination tone. "All right, let's go! Quick Attack!" Starly's body becomes surrounded by a white aura as he was quickly flying straight at Paul's Starly.
Dawn was amazed at the battle so far while Ashley crossed her arm over her chest to continued watching them and started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "Sold it!"
Professor Rowan was crossing his arms tightly and started speaking in a well manner tone. "But it did not suffer a lot of damage. Looks like he just wanted to ascertain Ash's Starly attack strength."
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Aerial Ace!" Paul's Starly dives at Ash's Starly and white streaks surround its body.
Ash watched carefully at Paul's Starly was coming directly at his own Starly and started speaking in a confidence tone. "Wing Attack!" Ash tries to counter with that move.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Double Team!" Starly creates multiple copies of itself.Ashley carefully watched the battle between Ash and Paul as she slowly taking another deep breath. "Aerial Ace!" Paul's Starly dives at Ash's Starly and white streaks surround its body, knocking out Ash's Starly.
"Ash's Starly can no longer fight right. Paul's Starly wins." Brock announced as he was raising up his right hand.
Ash slowly took a deep breath as he was returning his Starly back into the Pokeball and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Return Starly. Nice, you did your best." Ash looked back at Starly's Pokeball with a small smile on his face.
Paul started speaking in a lower tone. "Covering up weakness of those techniques with mettle...Is that your battle style? You lack strategy, too. Being captured by a crappy trainer like you...I pity you Starly." Paul was returning his own Starly back into the Pokeball. "So this is the level to
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "You're next! Go, Aipom!" Ash was sending out his Aipom to the battlefield.
"Go, Chimchar!" Paul seething in hot whit anger as he was sending out his Chimchar to the battlefield.
Ashley was speechless to witness that Paul has a Chimchar aswell and started whispering softly. "That's going to be an interesting battle." Ashley clenched her fits tightly.
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "Do you understand what kind of Pokémon my Chimchar!"
Ash glanced at Paul once more clenching his fits tightly and started speaking in a determination tone. "Let's go Aipom! Swift!" Aipom's tail glows white, then it swings tail and yellow stars shoot out nearly towards at Chimchar.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Ember!" Chimchar opens its mouth and shooting bolts of fire the two attacks explode on contact.
Ash glanced at Paul once more clenching his fits tightly and started speaking in a determination tone. "Focus Punch!" Aipom prepares to use her tail becomes surrounded in a light blue aura.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Flame Wheel!" Chimchar's body becomes surrounded by flames and it somersaults in the air, spinning stopping the attack.
Dawn widen her eyes in shocked as she watched the Focus Punch disappeared and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Focus Punch disappeared."
Professor Rowan was crossing his arms tightly and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Before the Focus Punch technique activates, you need to withstand the opponent's attack. If you falter, the technique won't activate."
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "You selection of techniques is naive. Chimchar, go!" Paul's Chimchar was prepared to attack Aipmon.
Ash glanced at Paul once more clenching his fits tightly and started speaking in a determination tone. "Double Team!" Aipom's body glows white and it creates multiple copies of itself.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Ember!" Chimchar opens its mouth and shooting bolts of fire banishes the illusions with it. "Scratch!" The real Aipom is slashed by Chimchar's claws.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Go with Focus Punch again!" Aipom prepares to use her tail becomes surrounded in a light blue aura.
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone."Chimchar, Flame Wheel."Chimchar's body becomes surrounded by flames and it somersaults in the air, spinning as he was rushing over towards Aipom.
Ashley slowly watched the battle between Ash and Paul, once more as she was biting her lower lip tightly as his Aipom jumps into the air, dodging the Flame Wheel then Aipom smashes down into Chimchar with Focus Punch, knocking the fire monkey out. "Woah!" Ashley muttered under her breath as her Espeon was in complete shocked.
"Chimchar can no longer fight. Aipom wins."Brock announced to them as he was raising up his left hand.
Paul was cursing under his breath and started speaking in a lower tone. "Return, Chimchar." Paul returned his Chimchar back into the Pokeball as he stared at it angrily. "This one is still useless." Ashley glared angrily at Paul as she couldn't believe that he was having a heartless attitude.
Ash was returning his Aipom back into the Pokeball and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Return Aipom." Ash looked back at his Aipom's Pokeball. "I appreciate your effort. How's that? Now it's one to one." Ashley didn't respond to anything as she watched her brother kneeling down to Pikachu's level. "Pikachu, you're the last one, I'm counting on." Pikachu's jumps into the battle field.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Go, Elekid!" Paul was sending out his Elekid to the battlefield. "This is the one who can use Volt Tackle!"
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "So what?" Ashley gave her twin brother a concerned look on her face. She's worried that it's going to be overboard.
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone."Nothing in particular."
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Let's go Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Pikachu releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from its body as the Elekid simply absorbs the attack.
Dawn widen her eyes in shocked as she couldn't believe her own eyes and started speaking in a softer tone. "It didn't seem to damage him much."
Professor Rowan was crossing his arms tightly and started speaking in a well manner tone. "When electricity type Pokémon are attacked by electric type techniques they do not take a lot of damage."
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Thunder!" Elekid revolves its arms and fires off a huge electric bolt at Pikachu, who takes the attack as well.
Ash was biting his lower lip tightly as he watched his Pikachu taking the enough damage and started speaking in panicked tone. "Pikachu, are you all right?"
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone."Do you understand why I let you go first? By using Pikachu's Thunderbolt, Elekid's electricity got powered up."
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Then how about this?! Volt Tackle!" Pikachu runs at Elekid as Its body then becomes surrounded by golden electricity.
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone."Elekid, use Protect." Elekid crosses its arms and a green barrier appears around its body, as his Pikachu is sent flying back.
Dawn widen her eyes in shocked as she couldn't believe her own eyes and started speaking in a softer tone. "It's bounced back..."
Professor Rowan was crossing his arms tightly and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Volt Tackle recoil caused Pikachu to receive the damage himself. By using Protect he, managed to corner Pikachu. He's fairly skilled."
Ashley turned her direction towards Dawn and Professor Rowan with a nervous look on her face and started speaking in a softer tone. "So, do you think that, he might lose this battle!" Ashley was shaking her hands nervously as she still holding her keychain tightly.'If he was here right now at the moment watching the battle and knowing him would be impressed of it.'
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "The fight isn't over yet! Iron Tail!" Pikachu's tail glows white, then started jumping into the air toward Elekid.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Brick Break!" Elekid jumps up and karate chops the opponent from above with the side of its arm, Pikachu jumps towards Elekid, and the two exchange blows for some time. "Do you realize the situation? Pikachu has his back turned this way, but Elekid can still use his left hand. Thunder Punch," Elekid's fist glows yellow and sparks of electricity surround it then trying punching Pikachu.
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "The fight is still going on!" Pikachu continues attacking Elekid with his own Iron Tail. "All, right, sold hit!" Ash exulted, pumping his fist in the air in delight.
Paul clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "Once more, use Thunder!" Ashley quickly closed her eyes shouted as she was holding her keychain tightly then she slowly opened her eyes a few times to noticed that the strain of the battle takes its toll on both Pokémon, and both of Pikachu and Elekid fall down at the same time, defeated.
Ash was quickly rushing over to his Pikachu with a worried look on his face and started speaking in a panicked tone. "Pikachu."
"Both can no longer fight. Therefore this fight is a draw!"Brock announced to them as he was raising up both of his hands together.
Dawn widen her eyes in total shocked as Ashley was slowly putting away her keychain and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Amazing even though it's a draw, both are strong."
Paul was cursing under his breath and started speaking in a lower tone. "Return Elekid." Paul was returning his Elekid back to the Pokeball.
Ash takes Pikachu into his arms and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Pikachu..." Ashley felt bad for her twin brothers lost as she was biting her lower lip.
Brock slowly walking over to Ash's side with a concerned look on his face and started speaking in calmer tone. "The power was even."
Ash took a deep breath lightly as he was still holding his Pikachu and started speaking in a softer tone. "No, the one collapsed first was my Pikachu. It's my loss."
Paul walks over to him and started speaking in a lower tone. "With such a conclusion, I can't say I want." Paul pulls a Poké Ball from his belt and releases his last remaining Starly.
Ash quickly got up from the ground as he still was holding his Pikachu and started scolding him. "You let it go again?" Ashley glanced at Paul as she was crossing her arms tightly.
Paul began using his occasional smirk and started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "Lots of low-level Starly like that one exit. When I meet stronger ones, I'll get them."
Ash clenched his fits speaking through gritted teeth. "What was that?!" Ashley glanced at Paul once more as she was getting fed up of his attitude towards her twin brother.
Paul turned his direction towards Professor Rowan and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Professor, thanks for lending us this place." He then bows to Professor Rowan, before walking off.
Ash was still holding his Pikachu tightly as he watched Paul walking away from them and started scolding him. "Wait, Paul! Fight me again! and he ignores me..." Ash stares at him angry on seeing such disrespect to Pokémon.
Ashley was staring at him angrily as she couldn't believe that he would ever disrespect to an innocent Pokémon like that. "What a freaking jerk? I hope I would never see him again." Ashley muttered under her breath as she was clenching her fits tightly.
