Hello everyone! Here's Chapter 6 of AKJTK! Hope you enjoy! I decided to post it early since I was feeling nice. :-)
…...Chapter 6...
" I'm so nervous!" Ash exclaimed her eyes wide. Everybody has just reached the ocean that lead to the Shalour Gym.
" Don't be you'll do great Ashy-Boy!" Gary said smiling and slapping her on the back. Ash glared.
" I thought you promised not to use that nickname if I didn't call you Gare-Bear."
Gary laughed. " I don't remember making a promise like that." Ash just looked at him and increased her glare tenfold.
" Your a jerk you know that."
Gary just laughed and dodged a punch to the arm.
" Ash your going to do great." Serena said patting her on the back and giving her a reassuring smile.
Ash smiled back and her eyes lit up in determination.
" Your right Serena! I'm gonna win that gym battle for sure!" Ash said pumping her fist in the air.
Everybody smiled and Pikachu agreeing with his trainer.
" Now the question is how the heck do we get across?"
Everybody got a ' oh yeah how are we gonna get across' look across their faces. The Shalour Gym was on a secluded island with ocean surrounding it making with no path making it bassicly impossible to get across unless you had a boat but there was none in sight. Swimming was also out of the option unless you were willing to get punctured by sharp, jagged rocks.
" I wanted that gym battle now!" Ash whined stamping her foot on the ground and groaning up at the sky.
" Hey Clemont, Bonnie, Serena!" A voice called out.
Everyone turned around and saw Korrina waving at them from above them. They all waved back and smiled. Korrina then jumped down, Lucairio following her, and she roller-bladed over to them.
" Hey guys how've you been?" Korrina asked with a smile.
" Great! How've you been Korrina, Lucairio?" Clemont asked. Lucairio nodded his head and Korrina smiled.
" Great as well! I'll have you know I've got even stronger! Hey wheres Ash? Also who are those two?" Korrina asked pointing at Ash and Gary with her head cocked to the side in confusion.
Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena chuckled nervously. " Well the thing is the girl your looking at right now is Ash. That's her friend Gary right next to her. He came to visit." Clemont explained.
Korrina looked confused. She set her eyes in Ash and looked hard. " Well she looks like Ash. Maybe its his sister." Korrina shrugged satisfied with her answer.
Clemont shook his head. " Ash is a only child remember."
Korrina thought about it before getting an ' oh right I forgot' look on her face. She looked at Ash again and narrowed her eyes. She pulled out a simple photo. Ash smiled and stepped forward and pulled the exact piece of paper out of her own pocket. Korrina's mouth dropped open.
" Come on let's go sit on that bench and I'll explain." Ash said laughing at the shocked look on Korrina's face as she dragged her over to a bench.
…...15 Minutes Later...
" So that's the short version of the story."
Ash had just finished explaining why she was suddenly a girl and not a boy. Korrina sat shocked her mouth still hanging open since fifteen minutes earlier.
" Your gonna catch bugs in your mouth if you leave it hanging open like that." Ash said.
She was laughing so hard in her head at Korrina's expression. She had to dig her fingernails into her hands to keep from laughing out loud. Korrina slowly closed her mouth and pressed her lips together into a tight line.
" Ok. I didn't exactly expect this today." Korrina said shaking her head and looking up at the sky. A moment later she smiled.
" Now you can come shopping with me!"
Ash's eyes widened and she backed away and screamed 'No' at her ready to run at the drop of a hat.
Korrina laughed. " I'm not that cruel. But let me guess Serena and Bonnie made you go shopping?"
Ash nodded and visibly shuddered. Korrina laughed and shook her head again.
" Come on lets start our gym battle! We've already wasted 15 minutes!" Ash said jumping up from her seat and grabbing Korrina's hand. They ran over to Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, Gary, and Pikachu. They were all sitting down and talking.
" Guys come on I want to have my gym battle!" Ash exclaimed jumping up and down excitement in her brown eyes.
They all laughed and stood up dusting themselves off.
Korrina stepped forward and stuck her foot in the water. Instead of getting her foot wet, a path magically appeared before the six kids.
" Whoa" Everybody ( except Korrina) said simultaneously.
" Cool right? Did you know it was built here because the first Mega Evolution happened." Korrina said proudly as she walked along the path. Everyone else followed her and had amazed looks on their faces.
They soon reached The Tower of Mastery where they would have their gym battle.
" Korrina!" A voice called out making all six heads turn.
It was Gurkinn. Korrina's grandfather.
" Grandfather!" Korrina called.\
" A new challenger I see." Gurkinn said looking at Ash with an raised eyebrow.
" Yep. Now if you'll excuse us we have a gym battle to attend to." Korrina said walking past her grandfather with her friends following. Gurkinn smirked and shook his head chuckling.
…...Line Break...
" The gym leader and the challenger, will now be battling. The challenger is allowed to exchange Pokemon at anytime. Battle begin!" The referee called out.
" Mienfoo come on out!" Korrina called out.
" Hawlucha I choose you!" Ash called out.
Both Pokemon appeared on both sides of the field in a flash of light.
" Mienfoo use High Jump Kick!" Korrina instructed.
" Hawlucha dodge it!"
Hawlucha managed to dodge it and Mienfoo ended hitting the ground instead Halawcha.
" Use Drain Punch!"
Mienfoos fist started to glow with green energy as it came toward Haluwcha.
" Hawlucha use Karate Chop!"
Hawlucha's fist started glowing whit before he too ran toward his opponent. They collided in mid-air. They fought against each others moves before Mienfoo got to tired to hold her own and Hawlucha hit her sending her flying back a few feet before stopping. Halawcha slid back as well. Both Pokemon were breathing heavily and seemed to have sustained a lot of damage. This last move had to count.
"Use Force Palm!"
" Use Flying Press!"
Before Mienfoo could use Force Palm, Flying Press hit her. Dust covered the field before disappearing. Mienfoo had swirls in her eyes indicating she was knocked out while Hawlucha was still standing breathing heavily.
"Mienfoo is unable to battle. Hawlucha is the winner!" The referee shouted pointing at Ash.
" Mienfoo return."
"Hawlucha return"
Both Pokemon disapeared in a flash of red light.
"Machoke come on out!" Korrina said through her Pokemon in the air. It then materialized into a muscular, gray Pokemon with four arms.
" Flechinder I choose you!"\
A red, yellow, and black bird appeared flapping it's wings.
" Another flying type." Korrina said smirking.
Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, and Gary cheered in the backround. Gary was cheering the loudest.
" Fletchinder Flame Charge!"
Fletchinder suddenly had flames surround it as it charged at Machoke.
" Machoke run then jump!"
Fletchinder missed as Machoke jumped in mid-air. Fletchinder swerved back around.
" Brick Break lets go!"
Machoke then pounded his fist into Fletchinder making it fall to the ground in a cloud of dust.
" Fletchinder are you okay?"
Fletchinder stood back up with difficultly but managed to balance and stand.
" Low Sweep go!"
Machoke kicked Flechinder knocking it back several feet before regaining its balance and flapping its wings.
" Way to hang in there Flechinder! Use Steel Wing!" Ash exclaimed.
Fletchinders wings started glowing a bright white before he started flying down. Machoke caught it struggling a bit.
" Alright Machoke throw it!"
" Razor Wind!"
Flechinder flew away from Machoke and swung back around his wings glowing bright once more before it unleashed attack after attack, Machoke crossing it's arms trying to protect itself. The Razor Wind landed a direct attack a cloud of dust following afterward.
" Focus Blast!"
Machoke suddenly made a yellow energy ball.
" Flame Charge lets go!"
Flechinder was once again engulfed in flames as he charged toward Machoke.
Machoke threw his Focus Blast missing, and Flechinder landed a direct hit.
Machoke flew up into the air before landing on the ground swirls in it's eyes.
" Machoke is unable to battle. Flechinder is the winner!" The referee shouted.
Fletchinder flew onto Ash's arm as she said:
" That's two nothing."
Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, and Gary cheered pumping their hands in the air.
" Machoke return. You did great take a long rest." Korrina said returning her Pokemon.
" Alright my star of the show! Come on out Lucario!" Korrina shouted throwing her Poke-Ball in the air.
A black, blue, and cream jackal like Pokemon with spikes in it's hands and chest appeared onto the field.
" Challenger do you wish to switch out your Pokemon?"
" Nope. I'll stick with Flechinder." Ash said.
" Lucario unlock the power within! Mega Evolve!" Korrina said as she tapped a stone on her gloved hand.
A flash of white light followed shortly afterwords. The white light soon dissipated and a different Lucario stood in it's place.
This Lucario was taller and had red at the end of it's ears along with longer cream-colored hair in the back. It also had extra spikes on it's shoulders, feet, and hands.
" There it is. It Mega Evolved." Ash said fixing her beanie.
" Lets do this. Flame Charge."
" Lucario Metal Sound"
Sound waves traveled throughout the gym. Fletchinder got hit and everybody had to cover their ears.
" Hang in there Fletchinder!" Ash exclaimed.
Fletchinder charged through the waves of sound and ended almost hitting Lucario but it caught it at the last minute sliding back a little.
" That fire type move really packed a punch but try this one on for size! Aura Sphere!"
Suddenly a blue sphere appeared in the palms of Lucairios hands. It then threw it.
" Flechinder use Steel Wing to block."
Flechinder crossed it's wings to block against the attack. A cloud of dust followed shortly afterwords. Lucario then appeared behind Flechinder.
" Use Power Up Punch!"
Lucarios fist glowed a bright orange before he slammed Fletchinder to the ground. Fletchinder had swirls in its eyes indicating it was knocked out.
" Fletchinder is unable to battle. Lucario is the winner!"
" Fletchinder return. You did great. Take a long rest."
" Now its two to one Korrina." Ash said hands on her hips.
" Its been a while since you've seen Lucario. We've been working really hard to make our hearts one since working with Mabel. Who will you choose next?" Korrina asked a smirk on her lips.
" Hawlucha I choose you!"
" Karate Chop lets go!"
Karate Chop didn't make a scratch.
" Flying Press!"
" Lucario Bone Rush!"
A glowing bone appeared in Lucairios hand as he ran forward toward Hawlucha. It split into two as Lucairio hit Hawlucha twice sending it back a couple feet.
" Keep going!"
" Aura Sphere!"
The aura sphere hit Hawlucha sending it straight into a wall, knocking it out instantly.
" Hawlucha is unable to battle. Lucarios's the winner."
" Thanks a lot Hawlucha have a good rest."
" Alright Pikachu it's all up to you."
Pikachu had a determined look on it's face as it stepped onto the field.
" Pikachu I choose you!"
" Pikachu huh? Finally." Korrina said.
Silence filled the gym as the Pokemon and trainers looked for an opening to strike at.
" Alright Pikachu use Quick Attack!"
Pikachu glowed in white energy before running faster than the human eye could comprehend.
" Alright draw Pikachu in." Korrina mumbled watching as Pikachu bounded over.
" Pikachu use Electro Ball!"
A ball of yellow electricity grew at the end of Pikachus tail before it launched it at Lucario.
" Use Bone Rush!"
" Hit it back!"
Lucario launched the ball back like it was hitting a baseball and it flew back at Pikachu missing and hitting the ceiling.
" Pikachu use Iron Tail!"
" Block it!"
Both attacks canceled each other out.
" Kick up!"
Lucario kicked Pikachu sending him flying.
" Pikachu Thunderbolt lets go!"
Pikachu's whole body charged with electricity before it released it sending it at Lucario. It was a direct hit.
" Aura Sphere!"
The aura sphere hit Pikachu directly sending him falling to the ground.
" Oh no Pikachu! Are you okay?"
Pikachu shakily stood up and released a giant Thunderbolt up to the ceiling.
" Doing good Ash and Pikachu!" Korrina said with a thumbs up.
" I'm gonna win that badge!" Ash said pumping her fist forward a determined smile on her face.
" Lucario Medal Sound!"
" Pikachu use Thunderbolt to wipe out that Medal Sound!"
Pikachu hit Lucario with a direct hit.
" Aura Sphere!"
" Pikachu use Iron Tail to knock down that Aura Sphere!"
The aura sphere was knocked down to the ground shocking Korrina.
" How was that possible? Lucario jump and use Bone Rush!"
" Iron Tail lets go!"
Both Pokemon struggled and crashed to the ground in a cloud of dust.
When the dust cleared, it was obvious that both Pokemon had sustained damage. They had to make this last move count or they would lose.
" Aura Sphere!"
" Electro Ball!"
They collided in mid-air.
" Finish this with Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu charged up with electricity, releasing it. It was a direct hit.
Lucario was on the ground. A white light appeared revealing that Lucario was unable to battle.
" Lucario is unable to battle. Pikachu is the winner. Which means the match goes to Ash the challenger!"
Ash stood shocked for a moment before a smile gradually took over her face. She jumped in joy and smiled even wider as she heard her friends cheer and run toward her. She ran toward Pikachu and hugged it tight.
" We did it! We did it!" Ash exclaimed a bright smile on her face.
Pikachu smiled with a exhausted look on its face. Gary, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena ran over Gary being in the front. He smiled and hugged Ash.
" Congrats Ashy-Boy!"
Next thing he knew a fist was lodged in his stomach and he was short for breath.
" H-hey what was t-that for?" Gary wheezed clutching his stomach.
" I told you to stop calling me Ashy-Boy."
" Ash congratulations!"
" Congrats"
" Awesome job!"
Ash smiled and hugged all her friends laughing and whooping with joy. Suddenly Korrina walked over. She had a proud look on her face.
" I think this belongs to you." Korrina said handing her a badge.
" Alright I won the Rumble Badge!" Ash said doing her usual pose Pikachu mimicking what she said in the background.
" Bye Korrina I gotta go. I have to heal my Pokemon. I'll come visit soon!" Ash said waving and already walking away.
" You better. See you guys."
"Bye!" Everyone said in simultaneously before leaving the Shalour Gym.
" Come on lets go to the Pokemon Center!" Ash said running off.
" Ash wait!" Her friends shouted running after her.
…...Line Break...
" Wow there's a masquerade ball coming up! We have to go!" Serena said looking at the flier that had been put up that morning.
" A masquerade ball? Who wants to go to a stupid masquerade ball?" Ash said crossing her arms.
" Who wouldn't? There's dancing, food-" " Wait did you say food?" Ash said licking her lips.
" Yes." Serena said.
" Well what are you waiting for lets go!" Ash said.
" Ash it's not until tomorrow." Serena said laughing.
Ash visibly deflated. " At least it's tomorrow."
" Well since were going we have to go shopping for dresses!"
Both Bonnie and Serena squealed while Ash cringed and took a step back. Then she full out started running intending to hide in one of the closets in her room.
" Ash come back here!" Serena and Bonnie shouted chasing after her.
Clemont, Gary, and Pikachu thought the same thing at the same time all three rolling their eyes.
'Girls.'
