"I think i can see Hau'oli City!" Ash looked away from the surrounding area and towards Zack, who was pointing ahead of them. In the distance, Ash could make out the outlines of tall building's, "Finally. Let's move, i want to get ther by the end of today" Ash stated as he continued walking, the siblings continuing to walk as Ash walked ahead of them, a determined look on his face, "The sooner i get there, the sooner the first trial or whatever will be done." Ash thought as he walked, the outline of the building's becoming clearer, until Ash could make out the, at one time, familiar building that was the pokemon center.
It didn't take long to get to the outskirts of the city, which Ash was thankful for, "Let's head to the pokemon center, that way we can ask Nurse Joy were Llima is!" Nicole stated, making the hairs on the back of Ash's neck bristle slightly - it had been 7 years since he had last set foot in a pokemon center, but if it meant finding the captain, then he would endure it. He mostly didn't want to go because he knew a lot of people gathered in pokemon centers. And clearly, crowds of people - shouting and talking loudly wasn't Ash's thing anymore.
Ash took a deep breath as he watched the siblings walk into the pokemon center, dragging his feet slightly as he also entered the brightly lit building, making him flinch slightly - not only was the region to bright and sunny, but the building's were lit up like christmas tree's.
"Hey Nurse Joy! Its such a pleasure to see such a beautiful lady once again," Nicole suddenly said as she ran up to the counter, a charming smile crossing her face, "HOw about we discuss it over dinner?" Ash raised a brow at the sudden change in behaviour, but smirked when Nurse Joy turned her down, saying she was busy with a sheepish smile, "Oh cruel world! why must beautiful men and woman turn me down?! will i ever find love!" Nicole shouted dramatically, anime tears falling down her face. Zack and Darwin just shook their heads at their younger sister's words whilst Ash just frowned, "Another flirt...just what i need" Ash thought as he slowly walked up to the counter, being sure to hang back behind Zack and Darwin as they spoke to the Nurse.
Nodding to the nurse and thanking her, Darwin and Zack turned to face Ash, smiles adorning their faces, "Seems like Llima is up at the trial sight right now" Darwin stated, earning a nod from Ash, "Okay. Then let's g-"
"Zack! Darwin! Nicole!" A voice suddenly interrupted Ash, making the quadruplet of trainers turn towards the source of the voice. Running up to them was a face Ash recognised a face he hadn't seen since his adventure through the Hoenn region.
Sorry for the short chapter, the next one will be longer!
