Chapter 3 The Trainers Reunion
Among the new comers were Ash's friends and rivals. He never expected all of them to show up.
"Hey you guys." Ash greeted them and they all sat down.
"Hi Ash." Misty smiled.
"It's so good to see you again." Dawn said.
Behind them were a purple dragon and a black dragon. Ash wonders if they were Pokémon. Bonnie notices there a fifteen year old boy with red hair, followed by a huge group of girls. Walking beside him was another fifteen year old boy with black hair. After sitting down at the tables, Sonic notices all of his friends and rivals were here too. There was a bunch of other trainers that Sonic didn't know.
"It's good to see you again." Sonic said to Silver.
"Likewise." Silver said.
Then the last one came out of the doorway with a Pokémon, walking besides him. The teenager was wearing a red shirt with a symbol of a white dragon, blue jeans and wearing a pair of sneakers. The color of his hair is black and long that went down to his nose and the color of his eyes is brown. Walking besides him was the Volcano Pokémon, Typhlosion. The two of them found an empty table that was near the doorway.
"Now," Charles began. "I want to thank all of you for coming to the Smash World Tournament and hope you all give it your best. Master Hand, do you have anything to say?"
Master Hand nodded. "In the Smash World Tournament can still use items on the stages, but for the Pokémon Trainers, they will battle in the stadium instead of the stages. This applies to the newcomers as well." Master Hand said.
"Except for one of you." Crazy Hand said.
There was a lot of muttering going around.
"What does he mean?" Misty asked.
"I don't know." May shrugged her shoulders.
Sitting on the chair Typhlosion turns to look at Josh. "Do you think he'll allow you to fight with and without Pokémon?" Typhlosion asked.
"Who knows." Josh said. "After what we told the President, we'll just have to wait and see."
"I know what you're all thinking." Master Hand said. "This is something new that we want to try out. So that challenger can fight a trainer with Pokémon, but can fight with or without his Pokémon while facing a Smasher or newcomer."
"We won't tell you who it is so you have to wait for tomorrow to see who it is." Charles said.
After everyone got their own food, Mewtwo can sense a powerful energy inside Josh's body.
"What is it Mewtwo?" Fox asked.
"There's something strange about him." Mewtwo said, staring at Josh.
Marth turns to stare at Josh as well. "What's so strange about him?"
"I sense something very powerful inside him." Mewtwo said.
Lucario nodded. "I agree. The Aura inside of him is completely strange to me."
Zelda notices that the Triforce of Wisdom was glowing. "Even the Triforce is glowing."
While Misty was eating, she looks over at the table where Josh was sitting and gasps. "Is that…?" Misty wondered.
"What's up, Misty?" Gary asked.
"Come on." Misty said, getting up. Ash, Brock and Barry got up to follow Misty.
As Josh was drinking his soda, Misty taps him on the shoulder. Turning his head to the left, Josh smiles when he felt his shoulder tapped.
"Hey Misty." Josh greeted, standing up.
Misty hugs him. "It's so good to see you again." Misty said.
"Same here." Josh said. Josh notices Ash who was standing with Brock and Barry behind them. "I don't think I met you before." Josh said.
"Hi." Ash said. "My name is Ash and this is my partner Pikachu."
"It's nice to meet you." Josh said. "So how have you been, Brock?"
"Not bad." Brock replied.
"Same here." Barry said.
"Ash's goal is to become a Pokémon Master." Misty said to Josh.
"Sounds nice." Josh said, raising his eye brows. "Well Ash, my name is Josh Kuno and this is my partner Typhlosion."
"Hello." Typhlosion said.
"Excuse me." Charles said, walking up besides Josh's table.
"Hello, Charles." Josh said.
"A few friends of yours just made it here and waiting for you in the lobby. I also believe that one of them will enter the tournament." Charles said.
"I think I know who it is." Josh said.
"Is it alright if we come too?" Ash asked.
"Yeah." Josh said. As Josh was about to walk back inside, Charles stopped him.
"Before you can go inside Josh, I want to talk to you." Charles said.
Josh nodded his head.
"We'll see you inside." Ash said as they all went inside.
Josh took his seat as the President sat on the other side of the table. "What do you need to talk to me about?" Josh asked.
"About getting you and Kiara back to your world." Charles said.
"I see." Josh said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Have you found a way to get back yet?" Charles asked.
"Not yet." Josh shakes his head.
Josh won't forget what happened that night five years ago. Kiara and himself was battling against Blainetail until a vortex showed up out of nowhere and they both ended up being separated in the Pokémon World. Josh ended up unconscious when Cynthia founded him at Spear Pillar.
"I'm sorry." Charles apologized.
"It's ok." Josh said. "So, do I get to fight with or without my Pokémon?"
Charles nodded his head.
"Thank you."Josh thanked him.
"We'll talk later with the Champions." Charles said, standing up.
"See ya." Josh said as Typhlosion and Josh ran inside.
Hotel
Lobby Area
As Josh and Typhlosion entered the Lobby Area, Josh sat down in the armchair and Typhlosion stood next to Josh. Typhlosion sees Vulpix running up to them and stops in front of him.
"Hi, Daddy." Vulpix greeted.
"There you are, Krystal" A voice said.
Josh looks across to see two girls and one boy. The boy has red hair and his eyes were black. He was wearing a dark purple shirt, long jeans and white sneakers. The first girl was wearing a moon t-shirt, blue shorts with a purple hand bag and white sneakers. Her eyes are purple and the color of her hair is black. Beside her was a female Dragonair.
The second girl was wearing blue shirt, red pants with straps, long white socks, a pair of blue shoes and holding a yellow handbag with a Pokegear strap to it. Standing right next to her was the young Krystal's mother, Ninetails.
"Kiara!" Josh exclaims as he stands up.
Kiara ran towards him and puts her arms around him and Josh didn't react in time as he fell backward. Ash, Misty, Brock and Barry walks in and gasps.
"Don't you think you should let Josh up, Kiara?" the second girl asked.
Kiara nodded. "Sorry Josh." Kiara apologized.
As Josh got up, he notices that Ash and the others were standing there. "Hey Josh, who are they?" Brock asks.
Josh turns his head. "They're friends of mine."
They all walk up to them. "So what's your name?" Brock asked.
"My name is Kiara Flower." Kiara introduces herself. "This is my partner Dragonair."
"Hello." Dragonair said.
Ash, Brock, Misty and Barry gasps. "Did it just talk?" Barry asked.
"Telepathy." Ash said.
"Actually almost all the Pokémon are beginning to talk." Kiara said.
Misty notices the other two. "Are they you're friends too?" Misty asked.
"One of them are." Kiara said.
The two of them walk over. "I'm Katie Bell." Katie introduces herself.
"Wolf Smith." Wolf said.
Typhlosion walks up to his wife. "I missed you Fauxy."
"I missed you too." Fauxy smiled.
After a few minutes of introduction…
Josh made some room by scooting over so Kiara can sit with him. Ash, Misty and Brock was sitting in the leather couch as Katie and Wolf sat on the side of the table and Barry sat across the table. Krystal sat in Josh's lap as Typhlosion and Ninetails sat on either side of the chair. Katie opens up a Pokeball and another Vulpix appeared.
"Hi, Ember." Typhlosion greeted his daughter.
"So when did you guys arrived?" Brock asked.
"We arrived a few minutes ago after the champions drop off us." Kiara explained.
"So's where's Fox, Simba and the others?" Josh asked.
"They'll be here tomorrow." Katie said.
"So, Katie, how long has Typhlosion and Fauxy became parents?" Misty asked.
"For six years since 2011." Josh said.
"How did you and Katie meet?" Ash asked.
"We both met at Route 1 when I chased off the Beedrill." Josh explains.
Before he can say anything else, Sonic ran into the lobby. "They're making some announcements right now so you have to hear this." Then Sonic ran back outside.
Hotel
Outside
They all went back outside to hear the announcements from Master Hand.
"Half of the Smashers won't be competing since all of you are a large group." Master Hand explains. "Also, once you win in the finals, you will have to challenge any of the Elite Four and the Champions. After defeating them you will face a strong challenger that won at the Indigo League But we'll explain more tomorrow."
"Pokémon Trainers can switch their registered Pokémon before and after the matches." Charles said.
"If you want to register for the tournament, you can register at the Pokémon Center." Master Hand said. "The tournament will start tomorrow at 10 am so make sure you sleep well." Then Master Hand and Crazy Hand disappeared.
Room A3
-Negi-
-Asuna-
-Setsuna-
-Konoka-
Negi, Asuna, Setuna and Konoka went inside their rooms as their friends did the same. The room has four beds, a couch, a TV, small kitchen and some drawers against the wall across from the beds.
"So Negi."Asuna said.
Negi turns to look at her. "What is it?" Negi asked.
"Do you have a plan to win this tournament?" Asuna asked.
Negi nodded his head. "I do. I plan to do the same thing that I did at the Mahora Budokai Tournament."
"Don't try to do anything stupid out there, Negi." Asuna said.
"But be careful of Josh too." Setsuna said, leaning her back against the wall.
"What do you mean?" Konoka asks.
Knock knock.
"Coming." Konoka called. Konoka went over to the door and opens it to see Chachamaru and Chisame. "I got something that might surprise everyone." Chisame said as they went inside the room.
"So what did you find out?" Negi asked.
"We found this online." Chisame said, opening her laptop.
It was the Lily of the Valley Conference Website. On the website there was a picture of Josh with his two main Pokémon and the rest of the Pokémon he caught was staying in the PC Storage.
"There's a lot of info on here." Asuna said.
Chisame puts down her labtop on the table.
"What kind of Pokémon does he use?" Setsuna asked.
"Any type is what I can think of." Chisame said.
"You're going to have your hands full on this one, Aniki." A ermine said, with a cigarette in his right paw.
"Don't worry." Negi assured Chamo.
Pokémon Center
Ash's Room
Ash was also looking up on Josh's Pokémon on the computer and couldn't believe the number of Pokémon that Josh caught.
"Josh caught a lot of Pokémon." Brock said, with his arms cross.
"I know." Misty said. "What type of Pokémon does he use?"
"Probably Fire Types." Iris said who was sitting down with May, Dawn and Barry. Max, Cilan, and Gary were sitting on the couch on the other side of the table while Serena, Bonnie, Clemont and Miette were standing.
"I wouldn't be too sure." Gary said. "Josh would use any type like I would."
"You're probably right." Ash said. "The president also said that we could switch our Pokemon before, during and after the matches."
"You should call Professor Oak to send some Pokémon over to you." Max suggested.
Ash nodded his head.
Josh's Room
The two top bunk beds was against the wall near a screen door. There was a desk with a computer near the wall from across the coffee table. Besides the table coffee table was green couch and four red armchairs, two on each side. A kitchen was near the door where they come in and there was a table with some chairs. The bathroom was located on the same side where the beds are.
Josh was outside with Typhlosion, looking at the stars above.
"Hey Josh." Kiara said, stepping outside on the deck.
Josh turns around. "What is it?" Josh asked.
"Are you worried about our friends back on Solemn?" Kiara asked.
Josh looks away. "Yeah." Josh said. "Sometimes I even wonder what's happening there."
Wolf and Katie steps out on the deck.
"Don't worry." Katie said. "I'm sure everything is ok."
Josh turns to look at Katie. "I hope so." Josh said.
"We'll find a way." Kiara smiled, wrapping her arms around his waist and Josh blush at this.
Katie chuckled when Josh was blushing. "Aw, you're blushing." Katie teased.
"I'm not blushing." Josh said quickly, trying to avoid eye contact.
"You may be stronger against any creature, but you can't do anything when Kiara puts her arms around you." Wolf chuckled.
Kiara and Katie laughed.
"Let's just get some rest, ok?" Josh grumbled.
All of them nodded as Wolf and Katie went back inside while Kiara stayed outside with Josh and Typhlosion.
"Good luck." Kiara said, giving Josh a hug before she went back inside.
Josh turns to the left to Typhlosion laughing.
"Typhlosion…" Josh groans.
"Sorry." Typhlosion apologized.
As the two went back inside, high into the sky, an avian Pokémon flew above the conference before disappearing into the night.
So what do you all think so far? Only half of the Smashers will be in the tournament. Also, the Trainers from the manga are going to be in the tournament. Each chapter will have a lot of important information and I hope that all of you are looking forward to it.
Enjoy and review.
