Author: Sorry for the wait school and an update on my other story kept me from getting this updated as planned.
"Guys look it's Santalune City," Ash said running towards the city with his friends close behind, "Ash is a lot faster than I remember," Serena said, "Yeah he trains with his Pokémon and he basically trained himself so he could increase his strength," Ritchie said, "Oh really that's really impressive," Serena said, "Yeah but he never lost his kindness towards his Pokémon or his true friends," Dawn said, "So what's it like being a Pokémon Coordinator," Serena asked Dawn, "It's great I love to have fun with my Pokémon and help them train for contests is so exciting," Dawn said with a smile, "Wow maybe I should try them," Serena said thinking about being a Coordinator.
As Ash entered the Gym he was impressed with all the beautiful plant life that was there, "Wow these look really nice I think I'll ask the Gym Leader for a few of them," Ash said thinking about surprising his girlfriends with these flowers as a gift, "Hey Ash is that the battle area," Serena asked pointing towards the giant box, "Good eye Serena," Ash said as he ran towards the field then seeing a camera flash caused him to stop, "Ash are you okay," Dawn asked while the girl looked at the picture, "Perfection," she said putting it away, "Hi I'm Viola and I'm the Gym Leader," She said with a spin, "Well a little warning next time before you flash me in the face," Ash said rubbing his eyes, "Sorry I always take pictures of challengers that come to my Gym," Viola said "My name is Ash Ketchum and I came for a Gym battle," Ash said, "Sure but watch out things in this Gym are very sticky," Viola said teasing them as she went to the battle box, "Wow she has a lot of energy in her," Ritchie said as Sparky nodded his head, "Well let's just get over their so I can get my next badge," Ash said as he walked into the challengers box, "You ready Ash," Viola asked, "Ready when you are," Ash replied to her as the referee came out on to the field, "This a 2 on 2 battle only the challenger may substitute," the referee said looking at both of them, "Please bring out your first Pokémon," the referee said, "Pikachu let's show them what we got," Ash said to his partner, "Ash let's win this and show them whose boss," Pikachu said, "Go Surskit," Viola said, "Alright Pikachu Thunderbolt," Ash said as Pikachu unleashed the huge electric attack, "Surskit use Protect then use Bubble Beam," Viola said as Surskit made a barrier blocking the Thunder attack and shot a Bubble Beam hitting Pikachu, "Pikachu use Volt Tackle then jump and use Electro Ball," Ash said as Pikachu landed and got back up and did what Ash said and hit Surskit into a tree, "Surskit get up and use Sticky Web," Viola said as Surskit got up and used the attack missing Pikachu but getting everything else before collapsing, "Surskit is unable to battle Pikachu wins now send out your next Pokémon," the referee said, "Return Surskit that was great," Viola said, "Pikachu let's have our new friend finish this Gym battle," Ash said as Pikachu went towards him, "Go Vivillon," Viola said throwing her Pokéball, "I choose you Pangoro," Ash said throwing his Pokéball, "Alright I'm ready for battle," Pangoro said to Ash, "Vivillon use Solar Beam," Viola said as Vivillon charged it's attack, "Pangoro climb the then towards Vivillon and use Hammer Arm," Ash said and Pangoro climbed the tree closest to Vivillon and then once at the top jumped but got stuck to the top of the tree, "Perfect now fire," Viola said as Vivillon fired the Solar Beam hitting Pangoro out of the tree, "Pangoro use Tackle then jump up and use Hammer Arm," Ash said as Pangoro got up and used Tackle and jumped and used Hammer Arm knocking Vivillon into a Sticky Web, "Vivillon try and get free," Viola said as Vivillon struggled to get free "Now use Arm Thrust," Ash said to Pangoro knocking Vivillon out, "Vivillon is unable to battle the winner is Ash and Pangoro," the referee said, "You did great guys," Ash said hugging both Pokémon, "Congrats Ash you really out performed me so I award you with the Bug Badge," Viola said smiling, "Thanks Viola," Ash said, "Ash in what regions are contests held," Serena asked, "Uh well when I was traveling they had contests in Sinnoh and Hoenn," Ash said, "Okay well is it okay if I stay with after Kalos I wanted to try doing Contests but the Contests in this region don't start for 2 whole years," Serena said, "Cool do what your heart wants," Ash said then turning towards Viola, "Hey Viola is it okay if I give some of these flowers to my girlfriends as gifts," Ash asked, "Sure I don't mind just be careful not to scratch the tree's and tear up the ground so that way it still looks like these are from the wilderness okay," Viola said with a worried look, "Don't worry I'll be careful," Ash said as he picked the most beautiful flowers he could find, "Thanks for the battle Viola," Ash said as they left the Gym.
"Your Pokémon are in tip top shape now," Nurse Joy said smiling at Ash, "Thank you," he said before walking over towards the video phone and called the Professor, "Oh hello Ash how are you doing," Professor Oak asked, "I'm doing fine I wanted to send Charizard and all my other Pokémon except my special ones to you and start catching Pokémon in this region and using them in Gym battles I'll definitely use them in the Kalos Pokémon League but I want to catch and train some other Pokémon in this region I talked to them about it and they agreed so I'm going to send them over," Ash said, "So have you caught any new Pokémon yet," the Professor asked, "Yeah I caught Pangoro that had bumped into while on my way to my second Gym battle and hey have you seen Gary yet," Ash asked, "You just missed him he found out about what they did and wanted me to confirm what he was told he was so mad when learned the truth that he just took his strongest Pokémon and said something about making them pay and left," the Professor told him, "He probably wants to disgrace them in a battle when he calls you tell him about my plan and that give him a call once I'm in the next town," Ash said placing his Pokéballs on the transporter, "Okay are ready to send me your Pokémon," the Professor asked, "Ready sending them now," Ash said transporting the Pokémon to the Professor, "I have received your Pokémon," the Professor said showing him the Pokéballs, "Thanks Professor see you soon," Ash said hanging up and dialing the number to contact James, "Hello Ash how are you doing," James asked him, "I'm doing fine got 2 badges and got six more to go," Ash said, "That's excellent and were almost done with the house," James said, "Great all of the hard work you and the other two did is paying off," Ash said happily, "Yeah but bad news too Jessie's old wound is acting up so she can't work at the moment," James said sadly, "Don't worry about it and tell I hope she get's well soon," Ash said, "Okay and Mewtwo came bye saying Iris caught a new Dragon type and Cilan is going through some sort of recipe block," James said, "What is a recipe block," Ash asked, "He lost the will to cook food and can't come up with anything new material as a connoisseur," James explained, "Well I hope he is still battle ready," Ash said wanting revenge as James shook his head, "He can't win a single battle either and just stopped battling and is now moping around in his Gym," James said, "Crap he needs to get over that dumb block," Ash said angrily, "Well it might be coincidence but it started right after they betrayed you," James said and Ash looked up, "Hmm could be him feeling guilty and now it's affecting his life," Ash said, "James send him a message and ask him if he is truly sorry for what he did," Ash continued, "I'll send it right away," James said hanging up.
"Come on out girls," Ash said throwing his girlfriends Pokéballs, "Hello Ash," they said in unison, "I got all of you some flowers that I thought would almost match your beauty," Ash said to them romantically, "Aw thank you Ash," they said as they got their flowers and gave him a hug, "It's a great gift thank you," Latias said as she held a beautiful red flower in the shade, "Now hold it out into the sun," Ash said and Latias held it out into the sun as it turned blue, "Thank you so much," Latias said as she hugged Ash crying on his shoulder, "Hey it's was no problem I knew you missed him so I got you something to remind you of him," Ash said in calming voice to her, "Ash dinner will be ready soon," Dawn yelled, "Okay thanks for the heads up," Ash said back still hugging Latias, "Ash can we talk with you for a moment," Ho-Oh asked him, "Sure Ho-Oh, Latias I'll bee back in a minute I need to see what the others need okay," Ash said as sat there looking at the flower, "O-Okay Ash," she said still crying, "Yes is something wrong," Ash asked them, "Thank you for giving her something to remind her of Latios," Giratina said, "No problem," Ash said to them, "She has been very brave so far but we've had to refrain from saying Latios's name in front of he," Suicune said, "Well now she'll finally have some comfort," Ho-Oh said, "Well I'm going back to check on her," he said walking back towards Latias, "Hey how are you doing," he asked, "I'm fine it's just that I really miss him," Latias said somewhat crying, "He would be happy knowing your safe because he loved you enough to die and save you from dying," Ash said sitting next to her, "Ash promise me you won't leave me," Latias said, "I promise I will never leave you and I love you just as much as the others because your all special to me," Ash said kissing her check as she held him close, "I love you too," she said falling asleep on his arm, "Dinner's ready," Dawn yelled, "Hey Latias dinner is ready," Ash said nudging her, "Okay," she said waking up, "Feel better," Ash asked her, "Yeah I feel a little better," she said as they got up to go eat.
