Safety Net
(Feature Song: Safety Net by Ariana Grande ft Ty Dolla $ign)
Note: This chapter contains a "Mega Raichu," which does not exist. However, many fans in the Pokemon Universe feel Pokemon such as Raichu, Inernape, Dragonite, and others should have a mega evolution. So I decided to include one.
At the resort, Serena walks around and takes in the scenery. "It's so peaceful and calm," she said. Serena lays down on the snow and thinks about what the manager told her. "I hope Allison and her friends are okay. I mean, the whole SWAT team went on an adventure to find them." The next thing Serena knew, Bonnie throws a snowball at her. "Hey, Serena!" Bonnie shouts. "Bonnie!" Serena gets up. "Wow! You have gotten taller!" "Thanks! You missed an epic adventure!" "I heard from the manager!" "It was awesome. there were all of these Ice-type Pokemon, and there were a shiny Entei and Greninja came back!" "Ash and Greninja reunited!" "Yes! And it took an interest in Allison's Raichu, and they are going to have a battle!" Serena was intrigued. "I wonder why? Maybe Raichu has a Bond Phenomenon or something!" "Well, it is going to start soon!" Bonnie said. "Well, let's go!" They leave. Inside, Odd is still upset that he, Aelita, Yumi, and Ulrich, were late and missed all the fun. "I can't believe it. An epic adventure is happening, and we've missed it. "Odd! calm down. Having your friend kidnapped by a Pokemon is not fun," Yumi said. "But going on an epic adventure is!" Odd counters. Then, Dex runs in to get a tray of hot cider. "Whoa, kid, where's the fire?" Ulrich asks. "Sorry! There is an epic battle about to start!" "Between who?" "Allison and Ash with their Raichu and Geninja!" "Really?" "Yes!" "Dex, hurry up!" Hiroki shouts. "Let me help you!" "Hiroki?" Yumi asks. "Hi, sis! You missed it! There were a battle and an army of ice-types and-" "You went!" Yumi shouts. "Everyone went! it was cool. Come on; the battle is going to start!" Hiroki and Dex leave. "Well, I want to see this!" Aelita said. "Me too! We should go to the battlefield!" Odd said. Ulrich thinks Dawn will be there, and he knows that Jeremy is still icing Aelita. "We should go to the observation deck. We will get a better view from above!" Odd knows what Ulrich is thinking, but Aelita and Yumi already left for the observation deck.
At the battlefield, Bonnie and Serena arrive at everyone placing bets. "Allison will win!" Lilly said. "Ash has better stats!" Clemont said. "Please! Allison has won multiple Grand Festivals!" Mari said. "However, Greninja is a strong opponent!" Max said. "But Raichu has the type advantage!" Cherri said. "Well, Raichu is weak against Dark Types, so there are even steven!" Wun said. "Brock is going to referee!" May said. Ash and Allison see Serena. Ash runs to say hi to her, but Allison takes her time. The last time they spoke, it did not go well. Serena overheard Allison talking about her Pigdeot's death and assume the worst, and told everyone. Although The situation cleared it up, Allison knew that Serena wanted to make her look bad in front of Ash. "Hey, Serena!" Ash said. "Hey, Ash! Nice to see you!" "Thanks, you too!" Allison approaches Serena. "Hello, Serena!" Allison said. "Hello, Allison!" The atmosphere changed. "I know it's cold, but did the temperature drop!" Jeremy shouts. Lilly and Dawn pull Jeremy to the side. "It's complicated!" Lilly said. "If I hear that word one more time!" "Fine. You heard of the 'Heroes' Summit,' right?" "Right!" "Well, Serena had a chronic crush on Ash!" "I see, and I assume that Allison did as well." "Well, not as obvious as Serena, but she did. Serena saw Allison as a threat becasue of the connection Allison and Ash shared!" Dawn said. "I see. Did Ash like both of them?" Jeremy asks. Brock adds input. "No! He told me that he only saw Serena as a friend, but he liked Allison, like that!" "Really? Ash Ketchum told you that!" Dawn said. "Yes. But the real issue is with Pigdeot!" "The one that died protecting a nest of Pigdey," Jeremy said. "You know! Great! Serena heard a private conversation between Allison and Me and told everyone. She only heard part of the conversation," Lilly said. "Did everyone mistreat Allison?" "No! Thankfully, everyone knew there was more to the story, but Serena did it out of spite," Dawn said. "But come on! that was low. Plus, it brought Ash closer to Allison, so karma!" Lilly said. "I'm glad you're here!" Allison said. "Me too! Good luck with your battle!" Serena said. "Thank you!" "You too, Ash!" "Thanks, Serena!" Ash said. "Can we start?" Hiroki shouts. Everyone laughs. Allison is on one end, and Ash is on the other end. Greninja and Raichu look at each other. "The battle between Ash and Greninja vs. Allison and Raichu will now begin! the battle is over when one Pokemon is unable to battle!" Brock shouts.
(Intro: Ariana Grande)
Yeah
[Verse 1: Ariana Grande]
You know you really something, yeah
How we get here so damn fast?
Only you can tell me that
Baby, 'cause you know I'm coming back
You're making me forget my past
Never thought I'd feel like that again
I came to peace with my path
Now you got me off track
Ash has the first move. He tells Greninja to use Bubble. Allison has Raichu use Agility to dodge the Bubble. Next Greninja uses Water Pulse. Raichu counters with Electro Ball, which creates smoke.
(Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande)
I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or flight
But I don't mind
Greninja uses Water Shuriken towards Raichu. Raichu uses Iron Tail to send them back. Greninja dodges it and uses Water Pulse, which Raichu uses Electro Ball again.
(Chorus: Ariana Grande)
Mmm
Tripping, falling, with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time, or is it in my head?
Got me tripping, falling, with no safety net
Ash pauses. Allison is able to match his moves. He sends Greninja to use Double Team. Raichu looks around. Allison tells Raichu to focus and use Thunder. Greninja uses Bubble and hits Raichu but Raichu changes move and use Thunder Punch.
(Verse 2: Ty Dolla $ign)
Let your guard down, girl
You know we came too far now, girl (Oh)
It's time for you to play your part now
You know wе hit that jewelry store and wе gon' ball out
Oh, sometimes, we have some fallouts (Ooh, yeah)
Put some ice on you, girl, let it thaw out (Ooh)
Girl, you're mine, it's safe to say
At the end of the day
Greninja uses Ariel Ace, and Raichu uses Volt Tackle. Greninja is hit but Raichu takes damage.
(Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande, with Ty Dolla $ign, (Ty Dolla $ign))
I've never been this scared before
Feelings I just can't ignore
Don't know if I should fight or flight
But I don't mind (I don't mind, I don't mind)
Raichu takes some damage from Volt Tackle. Grenininja uses Bubble but Raichu uses Thunder Wave. Greninja is slightly paralyzed, similar to Raichu. Allison smiles and nods her head. Ash is taken back by that.
(Chorus: Ariana Grande, with Ty Dolla $ign, Ty Dolla $ign)
Mmm (Sheesh, woo)
Tripping, falling, with no safety net
Boy, it must be something that you said (You said, ayy)
Is it real this time, or is it in my head? (In my head, oh, in my head, head, yeah)
Got me tripping, falling, with no safety net
Greninja is able to use Water Shuriken and Raichu uses Quick Attack. Greninja uses Water Shuriken again and Raichu gets hit. Allison tells Raichu to stay there. Greninja gets close to do a close-up Water Pulse, but Raichu uses Electro Ball followed by a Thunder Punch to intensify the move. Greninja falls down but is able to get back up.
(Bridge: Ariana Grande, with Ty Dolla $ign)
(Yeah)
Every time you feel some way, feel some way
Never let me run away, run away, my baby
Every time you feel some way, feel a way
Never let me run away, run away
"Wow, Allison! You're keeping up!" "Of course! You push! I push harder!" Greninja and Raichu look at each other and nod. "I think Raichu and Greninja are enjoying this as much as we are, Ash!" "I think so too!"
Music Break
Before the battle resumes, Ash and Greninja bond, and Ash-Greniinja appears. "Whoa!" Dex shouts. "What is that?" Cherri asks. "Ash-Greninja!" Bonnie said. "The Bond Phenomenon!" Allison said. "Now, we're getting started!" Ash said. "Is it like Mega Evolution?" Max asks. "Yes," Ian said. "It is, and Greninja looks cool!" Ash was about to call out a move when Allison stops him. "Hold on, outfit change!" "What!" Ash shouts. Allison calls Raichu back. She changes her bow and wears new gloves with a gem in the center. Clemont takes a closer look. "Is that a Mega Stone?" "Yes, it is!" Allison said as she shows off her Key Stone. "But. That's impossible! There are only three Raichunite in the world. And there were lost during the Great Kalos War!" "I would recheck your history!" Ian said. "Allison and Raichu found them all!" "Plus, Professor Sycamore was impressed that he allowed Allison to keep one and made a special bow and glover set for her and Raichu!" Lilly said. Allison smiles! "Ready, Raichu!" "Raichu!" Allison touches her KeyStone, and Raichu transforms into Mega Raichu. Mega Raichu's white fur in the front is wavier; its ears are spiker, and the tail became longer with the tip become ing a jagged edge. "Raichu still has the bite mark on her ear!" May explains. "The bond between is strong! Allison likes Raichu the way she is!" Misty said. Then the Shiny Entei appears. "It wants to witness the rest of the battle! Make it strong, you two!" Iris shouts.
(Chorus: Ariana Grande with Ty Dolla $ign, Ty Dolla $ign)
Girl, you got me tripping, falling, with no safety net
(With no safety net, oh-ah, baby)
Boy, it must be something that you said
Is it real this time, or is it in my head?
(Is it in my head? Is it all in my head? Oh, baby)
Got me tripping, falling, with no safety net (With no safety net)
Ash-Greninja uses Water Shuriken while Mega Raichu uses Electroball. Ash-Greninja uses Night Slash. Mega Raichu uses Agility followed by ThunderBolt. Ash-Greninja uses Ariel Ace to dodge the move. Then Ash-Greninja uses Water Shuriken again. Mega Raichu uses Volt Tackle to dodge the Water Shuriken while making a star around Ash-Greninja. The star glows in the snow. Ash-Greninja jumps and absorbs some of the snow and thunder to make an icy electric Water Pulse. Mega-Raichu uses snow and thunder to make an icy Volt Tackle, and the two moves collide. After the smoke clears, both Pokemon transform back, and their trainers sit on the snow. "It's a draw!" Brock said.
(Outro: Ariana Grande)
Oh hey
Ah yeah
"That was awesome!" Dex and Max shout. "I think that is the best thing I saw since the Royal Wedding!" Cherri said. "Please! Ash and Allison are way better!" Lilly said. Allison and Ash go to their Pokemon. "Great job, Raichu!" Allison said. "Well done, Greninja!" Ash said. "You two need to see Nurse Joy!" Allison said. Meanwhile, everyone is cheering for the greatest battle they've seen since a few hours ago. Jeremy and Dawn hug each other during all of the excitement. Then Jeremy notices the observation deck. Odd and Aelita look upset and Odd walks away. He finds Dawn. "That was a great battle!" "It was!" Dawn said. "Anyway, the girls and I are going to get ice cream." Dawn walks away, but Odd grabs her hand. "Save me a dance at the ball!" "I'll save you more than one!" Dawn kisses Odd on the cheek. Aelita walks to Jeremy. "So, how was the adventure?" "It was fine," Jeremy said. Wun walks by. "Jeremy, great job with you and Dragonite!" "You have a Dragonite?" Aelita asks. "I do!" "Since when? Did Dawn knew?" "Aelita! Stop it! dawn found out along with everyone else!" "Fine!" Aelita starts to walk away when Jeremy grabs her hand. "Do you want to hear about it?" "No!" However, Plusle and Minun already found each other and don't want to be separated. "Fine! With some ice cream that I heard is good." Jeremy smiles at the response. After Ash and Allison dropped off Greninja and Raichu at the Pokemon center and dropped off Pikachu to catch with their old friends, they head back to Ash and Brock's room. "That was amazing!" Allison said. "It was. You never told me about Mega Raichu!" Ash said. "You never asked. And what about Ash-Greninja!" Ash laughs. "I guess it's true. If you love someone, they will always surprise you!" Allison laughs. "True! But I want to know about that Ice Electric Water Pulse!" Ash places his finger on Allison's lips and kisses her. She kisses back and takes off his shirt. Ash kisses Allison on the neck and goes under her shirt to unhook her bra. Allison takes off her shirt and kisses Ash on the neck. Ash picks her up and kisses her chest, and carries her away. In the hallway, Brock and Cressila talk about the battle. "I have never witnessed such a battle. Usually, couples get weird when they battle each other," Cressila said. "True. But Ash and Allison trust each!" Brock said. They walk past the room and see a Do Not Disturb sign. "Young love," Cressila said. "Knowing those two, they are making out to their heart's content!" Brock said. If that's what they call it!
