The Dragon Guardian Chapter 4: Rivalry.

Ash and Clair where walking down the path with Latios hot on their heels.
They were looking kinda tired,well maybe becuse they have been walking all day and the sun is already setting.

"Man i'm tired. Shall we set up our camp here?" Ash asked as he turned to Clair.

"Guess you're right"Logout
"We can do it near that lake" She added as she pointed towards a clear blue lake and statred walking towards it.

Ash nodded and followed her suit.
It took them some minutes to find some firewood and with a little help from Charmander,the campfire was ready.

"How 'bout letting our Pokemons out? I'm sure they can use some fresh air." Clair said.
"And i'm also curious about your other Pokemon" She added with a small smile plastered on her face.

"Sure,why not" He said as he let out Charmander and Shelgon.

"About time you let me out! Is food ready?' Shelgon said.
"I'm starvin'!' He added with a little growl.

"Ash?'

Growl.

Everyone bursted into laughter at Ash's growling stomach,while he just looked away in embarassment.
"Fine,let's eat"

Ash took out some bowls out of his backpack and filled it with Pokefood.
He took out two sandwiches and handed one over to Clair who ltook it without thinking.

"Why not introduce our Pokemon to each other?" Ash asked as he turned to Clair.
"Maybe we can train them together"

"Prepare yourself to meet my partners then!" Clair said as she released her two Pokemon.

The first one was the Dratini that he met earlier in Saffron City.
The second one was a small blue seahorse.
Ash reached in his backpack for his Pokedex,then scanned Seadra.

Seadra,the Dragon Pokemon.

It's spines provide fins and bones are prized as traditional medicine ingredients.
An examination of its cells revealed the presence of a gene not found in Horsea. It became a hot topic.
I'ts fin-tips also leak poison.

Type:Water.
Gender:Female.
Height:3'11"
Weight:55.0 lbs

"A Seadra huh." Ash said as he eyed the female Seadra in front of him.
'Maybe i have to catch one too,since it evolves into a Kingdra who is part Dragon Type' He thought.

"Hey,so your my masters girlfriend her Pokemon eh?' Shelgon asked as he approached Seadra who was glaring at him at the word Girfriend.
"How 'bout a battle?' He added.

"I have no time for such nonsense and mastes girfriend?' Seadra asked as she raised an eybrow.
Shelgon pointed to the duo who were sitting near the lake,busy talking about Pokemons battles and their own Pokemons.

"Don't worry!Ash will not hurt her,by the way i'm Charmander,nice to meet you' The fire lizard said as he gave the blue seahorse a toothy grin.

"Yeah,Seadra! I saw the boy with my own eyes,he saved me from Team...Pocky?...Bucket?What was it again...' Dratini asked as she closed her eyes in thoughtt

"Rocket'

"Thank you'

"Even you Dratini?You didn't even talked to the boy,only because he saved you from that Team Rocket doesn't mean i also have to trust him.
I will see for myself if the boy is good enough,for both me and master' Seadra said as she swam to another corner of the lake.

"Is she always like this?' Shelgon asked as he turned to Dratini.
"Is it That time of the month again?'

"No,Seadra is just a little stubborn,but if you get to know her she's pretty nice' Dratini said.

"We will see.' Shelgon muttered.

"Ash,so how long are you on this journey?" Clair asked the raven haired Trainer who was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed.
"And how did you caught Latios?"

"I'm traveling for just a few weeks" Ash said.
"Well,i found him hurt in a small forrest. At first it looked like he wanted to attack me,but a few seconds later of checking me out he relaxed and let me aid him. I don't know how he got hurt though"

"Why not just ask him?" She asked.

"Latios didn't want to talk about it,everytime i asked him he just ignored it. By the way,were is he?" Ash said as he looked left and right for his partner.

"I don't know,but i'm sure he will return soon" Clair said.

"I'm back my lord Arceus' Latios said as he bowed.

"Hello my child,so how are things going with him?I see that he agreed with his duty,but how is he?' The legendary Alpha Pokemon said as he looked at Latios with his usual stern expresion.

"He might be young but his Aura power is very strong,you can sense it from almost 2 miles away' Latios said.
"But he will need his training to control his Aura and power. Maybe i can learn him how to properly use his Dragon Soul.
We also met a young girl named Clair Wataru,i noticed that she has a powerfull Aura just like Ash,but i am not sure enough if she also has the Dragon Soul.'

"I see...I know Ash is the Chosen One,but i never thought about two Guardians. It will help a loy if there are two Guardians,the Pokemons need to be protected. Latios can you also take her under your training? It would be good for both Ash and the Pokemon if she could use the Dragon Soul as well'

"As you wish my lord' Latios said as he bowed and left the God of Pokemon.

"So what do you want to become Ash?" Clair asked.

"What about you?" He asked as he turned to her.

"I want to be the best Dragon Trainer"

"The best Dragon Trainer"

The duo looked at each other like they both had grown another head.
They continued to stare at each other as their eyes norrowed at each other.

"I'm sorry to say this Ash,but I wil be the best Dragon Trainer" Clair said as she leaned towards him while glaring at him.

"Tch,as to disappoint you princes,but I will be the best Dragon Trainer" He said coldly as he matched her cold glare with his own.

"You will never beat me in a Battle!And no way that i'm going to give up my dream because you say i challange you to a battle" She said as she stood up,hovering over the male trainer that had his crimson eyes still ends of his lips curled up..No..It wasn't just a small smile,it was a teasing smirk that was plastered on his face.

"Yare,Yare..Period time already Clair?" He said with his still remaining smirk.

Clair grew red from anger abd embarrasment,How dare this kid make fun of her when she is serious!?
"Uzai!I'm being serious here,i demand a battle right here right now!" She growled.

The Pokemons just watched i amusent at the teasing raven haired trainer and the blue haired beauty.
"This is realy hilarious,we should put this on video'

"Warugaki...' Seadra muttered.

"It's getting late and i'm tired,i'll give you your battle tomorrow" With that Ash went into his tent with his Pokemon following close behind.
'I like it when she's mad,maybe i have to tease her more' He thought with a small smirk and a chuckle.

"Wha-What hust happened?" Clair thought as she blinked serval times.
'I never got an outburst like this about something like this! And how dare he reject my challange! Wait,what if i keep him awake all night? The he just has to accept my challange'
A small smirk grew over her lips and she got a glint in her eyes.

"Is it just me or does Clair like Ash? I mean she never gets mad this easily about something so small' Dratini said earning a glare from her older teammate.
"C-Clair would never like a guy exept Lance-Sama! How dare you even think like that Dratini' Seadra said with a scowl.

"Fine,fine i won't say anything anymore,i'm going to sleep. Goodnight Seadra' With tha Dratini dissapeared in the same tent were her Trainer had gone into.

"I will not sleep until i have my battle"

"Just shut up and sleep already"

"No"

"Goodnight" He said as he turned in his sleeping bag.

"No stay up!" Clair said as she crawled to his side of the tent and began hitting the poor boy,who had veins appearing all over his forehead.

"Fine! you get your battle right now,jeez you happy now?" He said as he threw her off of him.
"Latios lend me hand"

"Wha-wait we have to go outside first!" Clair stuttered as the Eon Pokemon came flaoting towards her.
"Seadra come on ou-"

"Use Hypnosis on both of us"

The Eon Dragon stared at his trainer with a puzzled look for a second,but did what he was told and his eyes glowed a light blue and both trainers were knocked out,snozing in a deep slumber.

The next morning...

Clair was the first to wake up from her slumber,She was still half asleep and didn't even notice what was next to her.
She turned her head...Thud..."Ouch...What the?"
The blood came rushing to her face as she noticed were she bumped her head into...It was Ash's face..
'W-W-Why am i laying in here!? I don't remeber sleeping next to...'
Clair thought back to yesterday night.

Begin Flashback

"I will battle you tomorrow,now go to sleep" Ash said and closed his crimson eyes.

"I will prove that i'm the better trainer,then you see that i'm going to be the best Dragon Type Trainer!" Clair said as she norrowed her ocean blue eyes.
"Don't be a wimp and battle me already!"

"Just shut up and sleep already" He simply said.

"No"

"Goodnight"

"Kisama..STAY UP!" She crawled towards the poor guardian and began to hit him,earning may groans and growls to come from him.

"Latios lend me a hand!"

End Flashback

'Calm down Clair...Just leave the tent and begin with some training' The bluenette thought,her cheeks still tinted a dark shade of red.'Just pretend that this never happened'

"Oi...Clair"
The voice of her companion snapped her out of her thoughts. Not exactly the right moment.
"What are you-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME Y-YOU PERVERT!" Clair shouted as she punched Ash in his face and sended him flying out of the tent,right in the lake.
"I'm not done with you Ketchum..." She stomped of towards the lake were her male companion has been puched in,her eyes glwoing red with rage and
still that huge blush over her face.

'W-What did i do' Ash asked himself while rubbing his bleeding nose.

"What did he do this time?' Shelgon asked,he was enjoying the sight over the two teenagers.

"Those two...They are like an old,married couple,without the violence of course' Charmander said with a sweatdrop.
"I'll wake up the others' And with that the orange lizard left.

"C-Clair can't we talk about this? I didn't even do something!" Ash shouted,holding up his hands in defence.
"Dear Arceus...The most dangerous thing i know is Clair...Damn she sure has some strenght for a girl..'

"Hell no! Not for what you did to me!" She shouted as she stood by the lake waiting for Ash to come out.

"What did i do then? I don't remeber anything bad i did" He said as he scratched his chin in thought.
"Can you atleast tell me what i did,before you kill me?"

Clair stopped dead in her tracks,it is true that he didn't do anything bad to her..She didn't even know why she was so mad at him.
She just reacted at him for being so awefully close to her ''Ugg...I'm getting a headage about this."

"I-It's because you...you...didn't..Accept my challange for a battle and used Latios to make me sleep!"
'Thank Mew i came up with that'

''Gomen na sai Clair-Sama! Please don't kill me for my bad deeds!" Ash said with anime tears flowing down his cheeks.

"I forgive you..This time. Now get out,dry yourself and let's continue" She said laughing at his childish action.

"Hai~! Clair-Sama" He got out of the lake and ran into the tent.

"Hey look it's the twerp" James said.
"Since when is he with the girl with the Dratini?" He added while shivering at the thought of the raging bluenette.

"Well,now we have more Pokemon for the boss! Think of the reward we will get.." Meowth said with a dreamy expression on his face.

"Enough with the dreaming Meowth,we have to think of a plan to get their Pokemon" Jessie said as she turned to the talking cat.
"Meowth,James think of something already!" she snarled.

"Why do i always have to be the brains!? Why don't you think of anything lazy woman!?" Meowth growled.
"I agree with Meowth! You never even came up with a plan!" James added.

"You two..." Jessie said as she stood up and approached the two,with a huge frown on her face.

Both Meowth and James had shivers going down their spines and backed off from the fuming woman.
"I don't do anything do i? THEN I'LL DO SOMETHING RIGHT HERE!" She shouted as she caught Meowth by the tail and threw him at James...both falling of the hill with a fuming Jessie hot on their heels.

"You done Ash?" Clair asked with a bored expression on her face.

"Ash is almost done,have patience Clair' Latios said as he floated next to her.

"Yes Latios...But don't you think he's taking to long?" Clair asked as she turned to the legendary.

"Well...Now that i think about it,yes maybe we have to get him' He said.

The duo walked towards the tent. "Hey Ash hurry up,we're go..." Clair didn't finish because the tent was...empty.
"He's gone!? Where the hell did he go now?" The bluenette said.

"Well the others are gone as wel..Isn't that kind of suspicious?'

"Now that i think about it,Dratini is also gone! Latios can you help me to look for them?" She asked with a worried expression.

"Of course,hop on' Latios lowered himself so that Clair could climb on his back and they flew away.
"Hold on Clair we're going to fly through the forrest so watch out for tree branches' Latios said.

"Couldn't you tell that a little sooner!?" Clair shouted as she ducked,dodgeing another branch.
"He's not going to get away with it this time.."
"Clair did you hear that?' Latios suddenly asked shaking the bluenette out of her thoughts.
"Hear what?"

DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!

ITAAAAAAAAAAAAII!

"I think i heard it clearly enough..." Clair sweatdropped.

Latios flew to the place where the...Noise? came from. Only to find Clair's Seadra and Ash's Shelgon glaring daggers at each other.
Dratini and Charmander were standing at Ash's side...Who looked like he was death,bruises and burns all over him and his clothes ripped.

"You sure he's not dead?' Dratini asked as she poked him with her tail.
"He has this the whole time,don't worry' Charmander answered.

"What is the meaning of this!?' Latios asked as he turned to Seadra and Shelgon who were starting to sweat bullets.
Seadra spoke up first: "Master Latios,with all respect but he started it!'
"Master Latios she's lying! She's the one who couldn't handle a little joke and attacked me!' Shelgon protested. And the two began to argue again.

"SILENCE!' Latios roared.
Shelgon and Seadra immediately kept quiet,they continued to glare daggers at each other.

"And what are you doing in here? I was waiting and you were here the whole time!?" Clair said as she held Ash by his collar and began to slap his cheeks,left and right,left and right with her eyes glowing a dangerous red.

"Don't blame me! The Pokemon ran away and i was going after them,then Seadra and Shelgon got into a fight. Charmander and Dratini couldn't stop them,so i had to interfere and then this happened!" Ash shouted as he tried to yank the bluenette off him.
Nothing could stop the fuming bluenette from killing her male companion. She kneed in him in the stomach,making him kneel down but Ash only smirked and he snaked his arms around her waist making her yelp in shock and he carried her over his shoulder,taking her to Latios.
"Latios can you take her back? She's annoying"

Latios sighed deeply and took the struggling bluenette on his back and took off,much to Clair's displeasure.
"Looks like i have to train them both really hard..'

"Geez,what's wrong with her!? Do i have to inform her about every thing i do,she's not my mom damnit!" Ash said as he glared at the spot where his 'friend' stood a few seconds ago.

"Ash,how about going back to the lake? We have to travel further' Charmander said as he tugged on Ash's pants,Dratini stading right behind him with her eyes saying:"Make them stop fighting."

"I guess you're right" He sighed,he pulled out Shelgon's Pokeball and returned the armor Pokemon with many loud protests from it.
"Seadra,you coming?"

"Don't talk to me you piece of trash' Seadra said and she disappeared with Dratini following close behind.

"She really doesn't like me.." Ash sweatdropped. He then turned to Charmander,who nodded and followed Dratini and Seadra,leaving Ash in his own thoughts. 'Now that i think of battling..Maybe i should battle Clair as an apology,even if i didn't do anything. I'll show her who's the boss.'
His lips curled upwards in a small smirk and his eyes glinted with many excitement. He stood up and left,searching for a certain bluenette.

"Clair~! Where are you~?" The raven haired guardian shouted in a sing-song voice.
"You come out and play with me~?"

"Will you shut up? How old are you,12?" Clair asked as she glared at Ash,who gained a serious look on his face as he was stading in front oh her.
"W-What do you want?" She rose an ocean blue eyebrow when his face grew serious. "You finally going to apologize?"

"Clair Wataru...I Ash Ketchum,challenge you to a battle!" Ash said as he pulled out a Pokeball.

"About time!" Clair said with a wide grin. "I'll show you that i'm the better Dragon Type trainer!"

"This will be interesting,i'll observe Clair's battle skills' Latios said quietly to himself.
