A.N.- Hello readers! Sorry I haven't wrote for a while. Joined an amazing Pokemon forum called Lake Valor. I was asked to put these stories there. So rather than writing in study hall, I'm on there. But I figured I should write more. I advise you to join if you haven't. Sorry for typos in last. My dad was kind and typed them for me, only problem, they were HAND-WRITTEN I'm surprised there weren't more.

Disclaimer- I don't own Pokemon, if I did, no Pokemon would be part fairy, or changed.

Chapter 6: Ace

I had asked someone if there was a forest between this town and the next. To my relief, there wasn't. Boy did I ask the wrong question. So now I'm forced to either climb a mountain, or go through a cave. And both are riddled with rivers. So instead of a dark forest, I get a dark wet cave. Yay! It's rough going, and I'll probably have to buy new clothes when I get to the next town, since these barely keep me modest. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, literally. However blocking the exit I see two people battling. One of them is part of that evil team, or so it appears by the shout of surprise. Soon it's over, the cards are taken, and they run off.

"Hey! Can you help me? That guy just took my cards and I had some rare ones too!" the victim asks.

"Sure. I'm Ruth, you are?" I say without hesitation.

"I'm Ace. Thanks for the help. I have the technology to do what they do, but he waited till we both needed one prize to win, and cheated to win. With how long I've been battling against Team Spades, I should've expected a trick like that. Let's go," Ace says. (By the way, I won't be explaining this battle, Just the outcome. This chapter is for plot, not action). We chase down the Spade (what I've decided to start calling them), I battle them, and give Ace his cards. "Thanks again. Since we both obviously see are good at battling these guys, how about we take them down together?" Ace questions.

"I'd love to," I respond. We go to the next town and I go clothes shopping.

"You're back fast. I just finished lunch!" Ace exclaims.

"Really? I got lunch, got a hotel for us to sleep in, separate rooms of course, and picked up a couple pairs of clothes to replace the ones I had. I may shop fast, but you're a slow eater," I state.

"It only took me 15 minutme, plus the 10 to cook," Ace mutters, obviously still shocked.

"Well, your stereotypical thinking aside, let's head back to the hotel to plan our actions against Team Spades," I say.

"Good idea," Ace responds.

A.N.- I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I really do think you should join Lake Valor. There's good fanfiction there too, a ton of fun to be part of, and very welcoming. Send me a pm and or friend me if you join. Its the perfect place for a Pokemon fan. It has all sorts of different features. Endrew out!
