TDBigJ's message: Man, what a lot of news. So much in one week. Hey guys. I have heard a lot in the past week. Hearing about the Republican National Convention, the success of Pokemon Go, new Pokemon in Sun and Moon, etc. It seems that a lot of people are getting into Pokemon Go. My middle brother, a WWE wrestler, a lot of people. I want to play it as well, but I don't think I have a compatible device. I even heard that someone has already discovered all of the Pokemon in the game. Lucky them. Have you guys seen the six new Pokemon in Sun and Moon? Wimpod, Mudsdale, Mimikyu, just to name a few. Is it just me, or does Mimikyu look like a ragdoll Pikachu? I don't know if that's the right description, but that's the way I see it. Probably the one thing I'm excited about that I heard about in the last week is that Nintendo is coming out with a classic NES console that is basically a miniaturized version of the original. It comes with 30 built in games and comes out on November 11th. Oh man, am I going to get that. I may have a couple of one-shots coming out soon, so get prepared. Earlier this week, I got into another anime. It goes by the name: Detective Conan. I'm not sure if you guys have heard of it but go watch a few episodes of it, it's pretty damn good. Let's get to the responding of the reviews, I'm pretty sure I've bored you guys out.
Oliverqueen01: Yeah, it was Edge's last line in that scene that got me thinking. Ha, nice with that John Cena thing, I see what you did there. You like Nakamura? I've heard of him but I've never seen him wrestle, mainly because I'm not able to watch NXT. Red reminds you of Dean Ambrose? I like the sound of that. He happens to be my second favorite. Yeah, Ash getting sick in this past Saturday's episode (Episode 22) is something we haven't seen in the anime. It's a rarity that Ash ever does. What will Ash do in this chapter? You'll see. Thanks for the review!
Bryce (Guest #1): Yeah I guess I could. I admit last chapter was pretty plain. It was just a build up chapter. Thanks for the review!
Espeon44: I don't think they will. Thanks for the review!
49ers (Guest #2): She will, don't worry. No he won't. Maybe not. Thanks for the review!
Wolves22 (Guest #3): I'm not sure. Yes she is. Thanks for the review!
Pokemonmeat: Yeah, I'm sorry I won't be able to use your idea. It's just a little late in the story and I feel like there won't be time to use it. Believe me, I want to use it, but there's only three chapters left after this one and there won't be much of it to put in. I hate to say no, but I'm glad you like my writing. Thanks for the review!
Rams30 (Guest #4): No he won't. Thanks for the review!
Raiders89 (Guest #5): Maybe not. But there is something he will have a few of the guys do this chapter. Thanks for the review!
Jaguars5 (Guest #6): I'm not quite sure. Thanks for the review!
Mariners22 (Guest #7): I knew you liked Robinson Cano. New characters will appear. He could before the end of the story. No, don't worry, they won't be bullied. Thanks for the review!
Guest #8: Spicy and sweet, huh? Thanks for that! Thanks for the review!
Guest #9: Yeah, I think Red's calm side can make him less likely to mess things up, although I'm not even sure that's true. Glad you liked the chapter and we'll see what the group does in this chapter. Yeah, you will be seeing what they do late in the chapter. That last part of your review gave me an idea of their conversation. Thanks for the review!
Seahawks3 (Guest #10): She will this chapter. Yes she will. Maybe not. Thanks for the review!
White sox 49 (Guest #11): No, he won't do that. Probably not. Thanks for the review!
Pelicans23 (Guest #12): He might. There is something he will have a few of the guys do in this chapter, and it's pretty crazy. Thanks for the review!
Shadic4566: Glad you liked the chapter. That could be a good idea. Thanks for the review!
Mad Ass Dragon: Yeah, I guess you could use a vacation. Good. It seems you think I'm doing a good job with Red. Don't worry, I most likely could never write him as good as you could, he's your character after all. OH MY DEAR GOD! Your character for your story seems like a madman. All that stuff you said to describe him makes him seem a thousand times crazier than I'm portraying Red. But I like that he is, it's all for good humor. Glad you liked the chapter. I wasn't sure if you would, but you did and that's fine. And it's fine that you wouldn't go back and read the last chapter. It wasn't one of my proudest chapters but I felt like it was needed to build up for this one. Thanks for the review!
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or it's characters, they belong to Game Freak and Nintendo, and… whoever else.
Everyone was fast asleep. It was 8:00 in the morning and they were all still sleeping peacefully. In the guys room, the sun had already started brightening on the walls of the room. Some weren't affected by it, a few were. Those that were affected started having an episode in their minds.
"No Charizard, you're supposed to barbeque the meat, not the chips." Red mumbled in his sleep. "No, I don't mean me either!"
Unfortunately for a few, Red's mumbling awakened them, due to them being light sleepers. Their eyes slowly cracked open. They weren't bugged by their sudden interruption of their sleep.
"Red, are you having your nightly dream of a family barbeque gone horribly wrong again?" Ritchie asked. This was a failed attempt, as Red continued his slumber mumbling.
"Don't barbeque the tree! You only shoot flamethrower at it if I tell you to."
"I'll take that as a yes." Ritchie said to himself as he lifted the covers up and got out of bed. He went over to the shade and opened it, letting the blazing hot sun shine in on the room, nearly blinding the unfortunate inhabitants of the room.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" All the guys yelled as their eyeballs were almost burned to ashes.
"AAAHHH! It burns!" Brock yelled.
"You could almost serve my eyes as meatballs." Morrison exclaimed.
Pikachu awoke from all the screaming. The hot sun didn't awake him, he was used to not letting it jar him awake. He stretched his arms out and then his back, but he almost stretched too hard to the point that he would get stuck.
"Really Ritchie? You had to open that?" Cameron complained.
"Oh come on guys, a little sun isn't going to kill you. Or in this case, blind you." Ritchie added.
"FYI, I might need glasses now." Tracy stated.
"You guys will be fine. Now get up, we've got another big day ahead of us."
"I just wonder if Red's going to have us do anything else crazy today." Shadow said.
"Nah, I don't really have anything in mind, and that's rare." Red stated and he fell back onto his bed.
"Come on Red, get up, man." Gary said.
"Just a few more minutes."
"We've got to get moving."
But even with that, Red stayed face planted into his pillow. Pikachu got up onto Red's bed and used iron tail on him, straight into the back, sending a jolt of electricity up his spine.
"All right, all right, I'm up." Red exclaimed as he got up, rubbing his back that was now in pain. Pikachu went back to Ash's bed and stood next to him.
"Pikachu, was that iron tail on Red really necessary?" Ash asked.
Pikachu nodded his head. "Pika pika!"
"Well, at least it got Red up and moving, I'll give you that."
"Maybe you could use it on Stephan too. He hasn't woken up yet." Cameron said.
"Eh, he'll wake up eventually." Ash said and got out of bed. "It looks like a nice day out."
"It's the Orange Islands, it always looks nice. And I'm fine, thanks for asking." Morrison stated.
"Man, I've got to get in the shower. I need to wash off whatever I slept in last night." Gary said.
"Hey man, I've got to get in too." Tracy exclaimed.
"So do I. I probably sweat a lot last night." Shadow said.
"Same here. I haven't taken one in a week." Red stated.
"You haven't? That's sick!" Ritchie remarked.
"I haven't gotten dirty or sweaty at all in the last week so why should it matter?" Red questioned.
"Dude, you should be taking a shower every day. Everyone does it." Cameron pointed out.
"Well sorry, but I'm not like everyone else. I'm my own kind of person." Red stated.
"Well, I've got to get in. So first come, first serve." Brock said and ran towards the bathroom. But the guys, including Stephan, who had just woken up, ran after him, not letting him have any of it. But since they were all so eager to get cleaned for the day, they ran into the doorway, getting stuck together. All of them tried to get through, but they were crammed.
"Dude let me go first." Shadow said.
"No, let me." Barry said.
"Hey, if you don't all back off, I will scratch and bite each one of you to fend you off." Red exclaimed.
"You guys don't even want to know what I'm going to do." Morrison remarked.
"You better not!" Clemont stated.
"Okay, okay. We need a way to settle this." Ash stated.
"But what?"
The guys eventually decided to pick a number. Ash was considerate enough to get in later and was the one to think of a number. After all the guys picked their number, Cameron was the closest so he was the lucky one that got to go first. Ash explained that whoever was closest to his number got in sooner, and the rest was easy to explain. Ash ultimately decided to go in the middle of everybody, the rest of the guys agreeing that would only be fair.
Once each guy had taken their shower and clothes on, it was time to go have some breakfast. They knew that they would beat the girls there since girls usually took longer to get ready. Who knows? Maybe they were all still taking showers. Red had a mischievous idea but quickly threw it aside. Even HE wasn't that crazy to do something like that.
The guys reached the elevator but once they got inside it was the bathroom escapade all over again, as they felt more squished than a twinkie in a hydraulic press. They really hoped they wouldn't get warm and sweaty otherwise their showers this morning would have been all for naught. On another note, Morrison was getting so squished, that his threat in the doorway was almost a reality, and seriously tried not to let it happen. But wouldn't you know it, some complaints from the guys started occurring.
"You're stepping on my foot."
"You're pushing up against me."
"Stop breathing on me."
"You're almost kissing me dude."
"I should've gone to the bathroom before we left."
But soon, the commotion stopped as the elevator got to the bottom floor and they all got out. Luckily they got out one at a time so that the same escapade didn't happen for a THIRD time. They went over to the cafeteria and got some food and sat down at a table. They munched away at their food at conversed. Fifteen minutes later the girls had arrived, all wearing their summer gear or their regular attire. They came over and sat down next to them.
"Did you guys sleep good last night?" May asked.
"Yes." Said all the guys simultaneously.
"You girls do?" Tracy asked.
"Yes." Said all the girls simultaneously.
"My slumber was interrupted this morning." Ally stated.
"So was ours. Ritchie woke us up by the blinding sun. What about yours?" Clemont asked.
"We were awaken by your guys screaming this morning." Shauna stated.
"That was because of Ritchie." Barry remarked.
"Yeah, we figured that much." Dawn replied.
"So what are we all going to do today?" Brock asked.
"Just hang around the beach. That's what I'm going to do." Misty answered.
"We'll just come up with something once we leave here. There's bound to be something." Gary said.
Once everybody got done with their breakfast they left the hotel and went towards the beach. Some went to do their own thing, some stayed together as a group.
"Let's go walk on the beach for a few minutes. I could take a moment to relax before we start doing bigger things." Ash said.
He, Serena, Dawn, Ally, Shadow and May went towards the water and took a stroll on the sand. Hearing the ocean sounds of Wingulls and the waves was very calming. They all let those sounds make their minds chill. Of course there were sounds of other teens and kids horseplaying around the beach, but that sound was nothing compared to what the ocean was giving them. Serena grabbed Ash's left arm and leaned up against him.
"Isn't this beautiful Ash? I've never been to a beach before, but I am already liking what I'm seeing."
"Glad you like it. Being here six years ago brings back memories. I spent some time on this beach before. Great times."
"I just wonder what it would look like when it hits sunset. I bet that would look even better." She commented.
That just gave Ash and idea. Maybe tonight he would bring Serena back here at sunset and the two of them, just the two of them, could admire the scenery, plus, each other.
A little later, the groups were now scattered and mixed up from earlier. Ash was now with Brock, Gary, and Barry. Serena was still with them, and she was the only one that stuck with Ash since they left the hotel.
"What now guys?" Gary asked.
"Do you have anything in mind?" Brock asked.
"Not really." Gary replied.
Suddenly, Aria came up to the group, mainly just to tell Serena something.
"Hey, the girls and I going to check out the plaza nearby, want to come?"
"Sure. Is that okay Ash?" She asked, looking at him.
"Go ahead. I'll be fine." He responded.
"Okay, let's go." Aria said and ran off with Serena right behind her. Now that she was gone, the guys continued their thinking.
But from behind them, Red came running up, and from what looked like him huffing and puffing, he must have heard something.
"Red, what's the big rush?" Gary asked.
"There's this one guy that told me something." Red responded.
"And?"
"He told me there is a Tauros pen near here, and he said he'd take us all to it." Red further explained.
"Eh, I wouldn't mind going there. Seeing some Pokemon might calm us down a bit." Ash stated.
"Oh believe me, you will need your energy for this one." Red said, smirking mischievously. "Come on, let's go."
"Oh boy." Brock said, somehow feeling this would lead to something disastrous.
Once they got to the Tauros pen, there was one Tauros, munching at the grass. From what the guys thought, it looked pretty calm.
"Just a Tauros? Looks like a nice fellow to me." Barry stated.
"Actually, that one's got a hot temper. But only if you bug it too much, other than that, he's harmless." Aaron said.
"So, that's what you brought us here for Red? Just to look at a Tauros?" Tracy asked.
"Actually, no. Aaron happened to tell me an activity we could do." Red stated.
"What would that be?" Ash asked.
"A little Tauros slap." Red answered.
"How does that work?" Barry asked, somehow curious.
"All you got to do is go inside that pen and slap the Tauros on the rear end and then hightail it out of there." Sean explained.
"Sounds dangerous." Brock pointed out. "But I kind of like the idea."
"Really Brock? You of all people would like to try this out?" Gary asked.
"Actually, yes. As a matter of fact, I'm going in."
And with that, Brock hopped over the fence and slowly inched his way towards the serene Tauros, who continued to munch on the grass. With each quiet step, Brock did his best to not alert the Tauros of his presence. Once he got right up to the Tauros, he gave it a nice firm slap and started bolting his way out of the pen. Since the Tauros didn't give chase, Brock easily made it back over the fence safely without a scratch. All the guys clapped and cheered, Brock having proven successful.
"Okay, which one of you knuckleheads is next?" Aaron asked.
"You know what? I'm going to give it a try." Barry remarked and hopped over the fence and went slowly up towards the Tauros. Just like Brock, Barry slapped the behind of the Tauros and like before, the Tauros gave no chase after Barry, who prevailed as he got over the fence.
"Man, I was scared there for a second, but I'm glad I got back unscathed." Barry stated.
"Okay, my turn. I'm going for it." Ash exclaimed and hopped over the fence and silently walked up to the Tauros and gave it a nice open palm slap and charged back for the fences. He was able to get back easily, as the Tauros once again didn't give chase. The guys were starting to get confused. Why wasn't the Tauros chasing any of them?
"Aaron, why isn't the Tauros chasing any of us?" Ash asked.
"I guess he's letting people off the hook today." Aaron replied.
"Come on Red, why don't you go do it?" Barry suggested.
"I don't think I should." Red replied.
"Oh go and do it, Red. You were the one who convinced us to come here." Ash stated.
"I'm not so sure."
"Oh, so Mr. I've got a lot of guts isn't having the guts to slap a Tauros. Interesting." Gary stated.
"Just because I do a lot of crazy things doesn't mean I should capitalize every opportunity I get when one pops up." Red explained.
"Red, please do it. We want to see if the Tauros chases you or not." Brock said.
"You know what? I'll do it. Wish me luck." Red said and propelled himself over the fence and started to make his way over to the Tauros.
"Hey Aaron, thanks for letting us come here, man." Barry said.
"Sure. No problem." Aaron responded. "Although I'm shaky of your friend's possibility of success."
"Why is that?" Brock asked.
"Well, the most slaps I've seen that Tauros take before he charges is three. After that, it's not pretty. I've seen many people do this and it never has once succeeded three." Aaron explained.
"Well, he should be fine then." Brock said. "Wait!" He started counting on his fingers of how many of them had already slapped the Tauros, when he finished, he silently gasped. "Uh oh."
"What is it Brock?" Ash asked, looking at him.
"We've got to get Red out of there." Brock stated.
"How come?"
"If Aaron has said it's never exceeded three slaps, and three of us have already slapped Tauros, then…" All three of their eyes widened.
"RED GET OUT OF THERE NOW!" All three of them shouted at the top of their lungs. But it was too late, Red had already had his hand held back and slapped the Tauros. The Tauros finally had enough and turned around and started charging after Red. Red's run turned into a full on sprint after he heard the clopping behind him. Red felt the rush of being in danger and smiled and cheered loudly and kept sprinting. The Tauros was getting closer but Red was getting closer to the fence. Red neared the fence and jumped over it, barely avoiding getting attacked by the Tauros. Red started panting heavily, as did the other guys.
"Man, that was too close." Red stated.
"You got lucky there, Red. Not nearly as lucky as Brock, Barry, and I did." Ash remarked.
"Tell me about it." Red stated. But the Tauros got his left horn outside the fence and put it around Red's torso and started pulling him. Red panicked and tried pulling the Tauros' horn off of him.
"Guys, help me here." Red said, shaking as he felt like he was going to be split in half. The four other guys started pulling on the Tauros' horn to pry it off of Red. Luckily, the Tauros was a little exhausted from chasing after Red and had used up the last of his energy trying to pull Red in and the guys were able to pull the horn off.
"Man, I've got to cut down on these things." Red remarked.
"Maybe it would be best for you. Your personality is making you do these kinds of things and you are possibly risking your health and well being." Ash said.
"Come on, let's get back to the others, they're probably wondering where we are." Gary stated.
With that, the five of them started heading back to the beach area, where their friends would meet up with them. This certainly had to be an interesting event. They were pretty sure they weren't going to do this again.
With the sun starting to set and the sky's aura a mixture of day and night, the group thought they would start heading in for the night. They got whatever they brought out and headed back to their hotel. But for Ash, he had something else planned. He wanted to stay out a bit longer, but in order for him to do what he wanted to do, he had to change into something decent first so he went to do that.
He headed back up to the guys' room and got into a pair of tan shorts that went down to his knees and put on a light blue khaki shirt, a different attire than that of what he had been wearing throughout the break. He put back on the sandals he had been wearing as well and left the room to go to his destination. On his way to the elevator, he came across Shauna, which was a lucky break, seeing as he needed to tell one of the girls something important.
"Hey Shauna, do you know where Serena is?"
"She's in our room lying down on her bed. Why? What do you need her for?"
"Tell her to meet me down by the shore in fifteen minutes. Oh, and tell her to wear something nice." Ash explained.
"Sure thing Ash." She replied and walked into their room.
Ash went down to the beach and stood by the shore. The horizon shined a red-orange glare, something that Ash liked. It reminded him of Charizard in a way. It looked like Charizard used flamethrower on the sky. In his mind, that seemed like something that would be used in a Pokemon contest, or a showcase for that matter.
Ash continued to stare out into the tropical view. Pikachu wasn't with him. Ash wanted to talk to Serena alone and Pikachu was perfectly fine with it. Pikachu knew when Ash had to do something like this when he started dating Serena, and it was something he was quickly getting used to and didn't bug him really at all.
"I miss this. It's been a long time since I've been here to see this." Ash said to himself.
He then heard squelches of sand as footsteps were heard behind him. He knew it was her. She walked up to him and stood beside him. Ash looked over at her. She looked incredibly beautiful. She was wearing a silver dress that went down to her knees, white sandals that were different than the ones she'd been wearing this week, and wore a pair of diamond earrings and the heart necklace he had given to her back on Christmas.
She put her arms behind her back. "So, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Did I ever tell you of my adventure here six years ago?" He asked.
"Not that I remember. How was it?" She asked.
"I remember travelling here after I had finished my journey in Kanto. I had a decent top 16 finish in the Indigo League. Professor Oak wanted me to fetch a Pokeball from a professor here in the Orange Islands, but once I heard of the Orange League, I started on that after I got the ball to Oak."
"Seems like it was a tough job."
"It was, especially our journey to get here. It was rough. But when I started challenging the Orange League, I got to the tournament and ended up winning the whole thing. It was really the only league I've ever won. It wasn't an official league, but I still consider it an achievement." Ash explained.
"I'm glad you did. If I was there with you I would have ecstatic for your win." Serena commented.
"But that isn't why I wanted you to meet me here."
"Hm?"
"The reason I wanted you and me to be down here is, is that I want to talk about us." He stated.
"Us? What do you want to talk to me about it?"
"It's been almost a year since we started dating. In a little over a month it will be one year. I wanted just to talk to you to see where we're at right now and what the future holds for us." Ash explained.
Serena smiled. "Aww, I can't believe you remembered the day we started going out."
"Why wouldn't I?"
"Oh it's nothing. Most guys usually wouldn't remember the day they met their girlfriend or wife."
"Well, I'm not like most guys. I remember important dates."
"I'm happy that you consider the day we started dating important. That means a lot to me."
"The fact that it makes you happy is the reason it is so vital to me. I'd hate to disappoint you. That's the last thing I want to do." Ash commented.
"Is it really?" Serena asked.
"One hundred ten percent." He replied.
"Anyway, I just wanted to know, what are your thoughts of our relationship up to this point?" He asked.
"I'm just really glad that we're together. When I first met you, I instantly fell for you. I really wanted to be with you from there on out, but seeing as how dense you were at the time, I was a little scared that it may never happen, but I for sure didn't give up hope. And fortunately, because of that, we did end up together. I saw you slowly build up the same way towards me the way I felt towards you. I wasn't sure if you were actually going to return my affections, but when you kissed me when you walked me home from prom, I was shocked but at the same time bursting with emotions on the inside. I was just surprised that you did end up liking me back, and you made me the happiest girl in the world when you asked me to be your girlfriend the day before we started our journey last summer. My life would be nowhere near the same if you weren't here with me."
Ash looked down at the ground and smiled. He was happy that she put a lot of thought into her response. A little over a year ago he would have little understanding of what she had just explained to him, but now he knew exactly what she was trying to say to him. He was just happy that she made him mature, both in general and romantically. He knew becoming smarter as a person and a Pokemon trainer would have made him mature, but not in every way. Being opened to the idea of romance gave him a sense of growing up, and it didn't really bother him, not in the least.
"I am happy that you said all that. I mean, one year ago, I would have never even thought about being in a relationship. I know I was seventeen a year ago and most teenagers get into a relationship at that age or sooner, but I guess I was one of those that was going to end up different, but you changed that. When we spent all that time together, I originally thought we were just going to be best friends and that would be it. But after a couple of months, something inside me started to change. It wasn't a feeling I was familiar with, but I talked to my mom about it, and she explained to me that I was starting to have feelings for you, I wasn't completely sure if she was right, after a few weeks of thinking, I realized she was right. On the week of prom, that was when it hit the hardest. I wanted to show it to you as soon as I could, but I wanted to wait until prom night to do that, that's why I kissed you when we got back to your house. Since then, I have never regretted it." Ash explained.
A single tear escaped from each of Serena's eyes. She took her right hand and wiped each of them off. "You just made me happier than I already am."
"Well, that is a man's job. He has to make sure his woman is happy." Ash stated.
The two then returned to looking at the sunset. The sun was slowly making it's descent below the horizon. A thought then popped into Serena's mind.
"It really is a nice view, isn't it?"
"Yep."
"It's just… really beautiful. Just the right moment for-"
She was then interrupted by Ash pulling in and kissing her. She was a little surprised but let it happen. She always wanted this sort of thing to happen, and now, it just did. The kiss lasted for a good thirty seconds until Ash pulled away but still held onto her.
"I know you've always wanted me to kiss you in front of a sunset. I just thought now was a good a time as any."
She wanted to say something really bad, but words couldn't make their way out of her mouth. She just smiled and looked into those brown orbs that she admired, as he did the same. Ash then saw something a little ways away from them, which he didn't expect.
"Hey, isn't that Pikachu and Buneary?" He asked, pointing at the two. Serena turned her head and saw them.
"It is. But why are they out here?"
Pikachu had in fact brought Buneary out here, unknown to the fact that he didn't let Ash know. The yellow mouse had the same idea as him, Ash just had no idea. The two had gotten out here about five minutes ago, doing the same thing Ash and Serena were doing. Pikachu had a little plan. He put his arm around Buneary, much to the surprise of Buneary, who blushed and stuffed her face in her ear.
"Pika?"
"Bun!"
Pikachu lately had been catching some hints from Buneary. He had also been as dense as Ash was but got smarter as time went on. He wanted to make Buneary happy, just like his trainer with his girl.
"Pi?"
"Bun."
Pikachu thought he might as well do it. He didn't have any other chance. He gave her a peck on the cheek, much to Buneary's shock. She was instantly surprised. Was Pikachu actually returning her feelings? She thought this was a dream, but it wasn't, it was reality. She looked at the electric mouse with a confused expression. Pikachu finally had the idea, and put his arm around Buneary. Buneary's look then changed into a smile, as she buried her head into her crush's chest and went back to looking at the sunset, happy as could be, and believe it or not, Pikachu was as well. The two trainers looked at the two Pokemon, smiling at the lovely sight.
"Well played, Pikachu. Well played." Ash commented.
The night ended perfectly for all four. Ash and Serena's bond strengthened while Pikachu and Buneary became a thing. This was really a great vacation. This was one to look back on in the future. The two trainers walked up to the two Pokemon and spent the next passing minutes together.
What a day it had been.
Author's note: Well, look at what happened. I thought that last part of the chapter was great. I like how Ash started reflecting back on his relationship with Serena and Pikachu ended up with Buneary. What a good way to end a chapter. Look at that, Pikachu got a girl before Clemont did. Well, that's not really nice to say, it's getting close, believe me. In my opinion, it was a great chapter, but what about you guys? That guy Aaron in this chapter, he was just a random guy. The Tauros slap game they did, that was inspired by a scene in a movie. It was an idea I have had in my mind for a while. Hard to believe there is only a few chapters left, but here is the preview for the next one.
"It's just that time of year where you don't have to really worry about much. When we're in school, we don't have to worry about what goes on during the summer." Brock stated.
"Yeah. Whatever happens to us during the summer usually doesn't happen to us when school is going on. It's just a lucky break for us I guess." Ash added.
"Yep. Thankfully." Clemont said.
But all of a sudden, there was a loud explosion from outside, catching every student's attention. Everyone that was in the commons ran out to the back schoolyard. What was going on was nothing you'd expect in this kind of scenery: Two wild Pokemon were attacking each other a little ways at the end of the schoolyard. The two Pokemon were an Alakazam and a Electabuzz. Everyone was surprised. Why was this happening here?
"I stand corrected." Brock said.
"Well, we can't just sit here and let it happen. I'm going to get Pikachu." Ash said and ran off towards the school nursery, Brock, Clemont, and Dawn went and did the same. Within a couple minutes they had returned with their Pokemon. Brock, Clemont, and Dawn had released their Pokemon and had them start attacking the two Pokemon. Even others, including Trip and Paul, had gotten Pokemon to stop the charade. Some others stood back and watched. Seeing the attacks come towards them, the Alakazam and Electabuzz dodged out of the way and started firing at the Pokemon from the students.
"Come on, Pikachu, don't let up. Hit Alakazam with volt tackle." Ash commanded.
Pikachu started charging towards the Alakazam, lighting up with electricity as he ran. Alakazam attempted to get out of the way but Pikachu was too quick for him and Pikachu rammed into him with a big hit. Pikachu flew in the air and landed on all fours near Ash, ready to initiate another attack.
Alakazam was furious after the hit. Not wanting to get hit again, started charging a Psybeam. Ash thought this would be the perfect time to hit it with another attack.
"Okay Pikachu, use volt tackle again."
Pikachu once again ran at the Alakazam. Alakazam had already charged up it's psybeam and fired it at Pikachu. Pikachu leaped in the air as he got close, just in time to dodge the psybeam.
But then it went straight past Pikachu, right at Ash. And the beam was coming fast. Ash tried to jump out of the way…
Author's note: Whoa! What happened? This has got to be a first for me. Leaving you guys with a cliffhanger. Did Ash get hit? Did he dodge it in the nick of time? I hate to have you guys wait a week to find out, but that's the way it's going to have to be. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. Until then…
TDBigJ out!
I'm not crazy. My mother had me tested.
