Ash stopped walking once he was a good distance away from the cave, looking up at the storm filled clouds and allowing the rain to fall over his face, "I thought we were done with them - this is all the legendaries fault" Ash spoke coldly, his eyes reflecting his cold voice, "Why can't they look after the world by themselves? Why do they always need a human to interfere and save the goddamn world?" Ash mused ot himself as he lowered his head, running a hand through his dripping hair.
"Pikapi..." Pikachu pipped up, making Ash look to his longest and most loyal partner, who was stood under a tree trying to protect himself from the rain, "Sorry bud...i guess we should find a place to hide out until the rain passes over.." Pikachu shot him a "duh" look as Ash began weaving his way through the tree's, stopping when he came across a large cavern, "This will do" Ash stated as Pikachu ran into the dimly lit cavern, followed closely by Ash.
Walking into the cavern, Ash took noticed of how large the area was, "Not a bad place to let the other's out..." He thought as he reached to his belt, stopping when he heard a hissing sound followed by cooing. Looking around, Ash finally noticed the many different pokemon residing in the cavern, having had the same thought as him - using the cavern to get away from the pouring rain.
"I'm sorry," Ash stated into the cave, watching as the pokemon emerged from their hiding spots at the apology, "I am just like you, i have only come into get away from the rain - i am not here to capture you, but i do wish to release my other pokemon, does anyone have a problem with that?" Silence was what Ash was met with, indicating to him that it was alright, making him nod and say thank you before releasing his pokemon into the cavern.
"Rawg!" All his pokemon roared, making the other pokemon in the cave cower at the sheer power Ash's pokemon displayed simply by appearing from their poke'balls. Ash shook his head and held his finger to his lips, "Quieten down everyone - there are many other pokemon here that don't take kindly to being scared, and i do not wish to scare them as they are only in here to escape the rain" Ash's pokemon blinked and looked around, apologetic looks crossing their faces as they noticed the other, cowering pokemon around them.
Watching as his pokemon dispersed around the cave, Ash found a large, moss covered rock and sat down, shaking the water from his hair as he did so, "This "journey" to save the goddamn world is becoming more and more annoying..." Ash mused to himself as he leaned back ont he rock, allowing the fuzzy moss underneath him to seep through his fingers.
A little while past of pure silence, which Ash welcomed - it had been a little while since he had had pure silence, especially thanks to the other, loud mouth trainers that made up the region of Alola.
Sighing and sitting up straight whilst hanging his arms over his legs, Ash looked around at the mix of his own and the wild pokemon that took up a majority of the cavern. Other than his own pokemon, Ash noticed there were quiet a few Growlithe's, Makuhita's and Spearow's. As well as many pokemon that Ash didn't recognize, "I bet that nosy shit Zack would know what those pokemon were..." He thought as he looked away, cursing to himself when he realized something.
"If that shit Zack has been digging around in my past...he may have contact those traitors, which means they know where i...Shit..." Ash growled out as he quickly dismounted the rock and stood up, an urgent look on his face as he quickly gathered his pokemon together, "We can't waist any time, we need to get this thing over with before the traitors find us" Ash addressed his pokemon, all who looked confused at first but nodded slowly in agreement - once again, they didn't really know what their trainer was talking about, but Ash was always the one to make the right decision when it came to his own, and their safety.
"I guess if we want to get through this as fast as possible, we will be needing that fucker Zack and his two siblings..." Ash said coldly at the mention of Zack's name, "We will wait out the rain and then go and find them once more." Ash's pokemon all nodded in agreement, dispersing once more to find sutable placed to wait out the storm.
"You did what?!" Max gasped in shock, looking at Zack as if he was crazy, "You called everyone before you contacted me?! Are you insane?!" Zack and the other's blinked in confusion at the boys words, waiting for him to elaborate, "You don't understand what you have done! You have basically confirmed to everyone where Ash is! I told you that they all blame Ash, and no doubt they will come here looking for him!" Zack frowned a little at the boys words and tilted his head, "I don't think they would travel all the way here just for some petty revenge..."
Max face palmed at the boys ignorance before speaking once more, "You really don't get it do you?! Brock and Misty lost their Gyms! Cilian and Brock can't become pokemon doctors like they wanted to, and May can't compete in contests anymore! There careers as trainers is basically over, and they blame Ash! This isn't some petty revenge in their eyes! How can you not understand the gravity of what you have done?!"
Zack just continued to frown, followed by a glare to the boy, "Why am i the bad guy here? I just wanted to help Ash get over his past! I didn't think-" "Thats the problem! You didn't THINK!" Max quickly interrupted him whilst standing up, his fists clenched at his side, "Did you not think that it was best to leave him alone?! That maybe the past should be left in the past?! Now everything is fucked up and the others know where he is!"
Zack had the decentcy to look slightly guitly as he looked away from Max, "I-I only wanted to..." "I don't care what YOU wanted! This is just going to cause loads of shit that Ash will have to deal with! Don't you think he has been through enough?!" Max shouted, shaking his head as he began leaving the cave upon seeing the rain had began to calm down, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Ash - he may not want it, but he will need are help if and when the others come to confront him" Max said as he left the cave and began walking in the direction Ash had left. The others looked at each other before quickly standing and scampering after Max.
