Here we are at the tournament, but it is not time for Ash to battle just yet. He and the gang are enjoying other battles until it is Ash' s turn.
"Do you think the twerp is here?" Meowth asked Jesse and James as they handed out food to the audience.
"Is it a Pokemon tournament?" Jesse responded sarcastically.
"Well, yes." James answered.
"Then of course the twerp is here." Jesse said.
"Alright." Meowth said. "That means we can watch him battle."
"I always do enjoy that." James said with a smile.
Jesse added, "Unless he's battling us."
"Right." The other two agreed.
"Hotdogs!" An audience member yelled out.
"Coming!" The trio smiled and rushed to the person.
With our heroes:
"Ash, do you know who your first match is against?" Serena asked.
"Yeah," Ash said. "His name is Luffy D. Monkey."
(As silly as Pokemon is, I don't think 'Monkey' would be a first name in their world)
"Well, I know you'll be able to take him down!" Bonnie told Ash.
"Thanks, Bonnie." Ash smiled.
Later at Ash's match:
"It's time for our next match!" The announcer said over the speakers. "In the stadium ready to battle, we have, Ash Kethum from Palet Town!"
The audience cheered Ash.
"And his opponent, Luffy D. Monkey from Foosha City!"
"I hope you're ready for an awesome match!" Luffy said to Ash.
"Always!" Ash told him.
"What Pokemon will the trainers start with first!?"
"Let's go, Unfezant!" Ash released his Pokemon and Unfezant let out her battle cry.
"Come on out, Usopp!" Luffy tossed his PokeBall and out came a Farfetch'd!
