Well here is the next chapter, as promised. Sorry it took so long but hopefully it is good. Please review and thank you to all those that already have. I also accept constructive criticism however please don't flame. There is no point and if you don't like the story then don't read it. So here is the disclaimer:
I do not own pokemon because if I did then it would'nt be nearly as good as it is.
In Sunnyshore city
By the time Ash and co. had checked into a hotel it was already past 10 o'clock. Annabel and Dawn would share one room whilst Ash and Brock would share the other. After quickly getting changed Annabel sat down on her bed and started to read a book about Pokemon breeding which Brock had lent to her whilst Dawn was giving Piplup a bath. After a little Annabel started to fantasize about Ash and how brave he was and how much he cared his Pokemon. She was suddenly snapped out of it by Dawn clicking her fingers in front of her face. "Huh?" Annabel mumbled, breaking out her fantasy. "I was trying to tell you something when I noticed you all spaced out. What were you thinking about?" Dawn asked. "Nothing," Annabel said, a little too quickly. "Uh huh," Dawn replied, not really believing her. "Well anyway I'm going to turn the light out now, if that's okay with you?" Annabel asked.
"Okay then. Come on Piplup, back into your pokeball," Dawn said, pointing the red and white ball at Piplup. Piplup was absorbed into the pokeball in a beam of red light and then Dawn placed the pokeball on the nearby desk. "Goodnight Dawn," Annabel said. "Goodnight Annabel," Dawn replied. However, Dawn deliberately stayed awake, waiting for Annabel to fall asleep before getting out of bed and walking over to Annabel's orange bag. Dawn didn't know why she was doing this; she wouldn't normally, however she had seen the way Annabel looked at Ash when she thought no one was looking and she was hoping to find something inside Annabel's bag. After a bit of a rummage she came across a small see through protective case with a single photo in it. The photo was one of Ash holding up the Sinnoh league trophy, with a big grin on his face. But really got Dawn's attention was that in the corner of the photo someone had drawn a heart in purple ink. Dawn was about to search through Annabel's bag some more when there was a bright flash of lightning outside the window. Dawn hurriedly put back the photo inside the see through case and put the case back in Annabel's bag before getting quickly into bed and falling asleep.
The next morning Ash woke up with a yawn and noticed that Brock and Pikachu had gone downstairs. He quickly got changed into his usual Sinnoh clothes and went downstairs to find everyone already eating breakfast in the hotel's restaurant. Ash quickly grabbed a bowl and poured some milk and cereal into it before sitting down at the table and joining in the conversation. Little did they know that three pairs of eyes were watching them interact. "Look at those twerps, completely ignorant of the fact that we're about to steal their Pokemon," Jessie said. "But Jess, how are we supposed to even get near to their Pokemon without them noticing us?" James asked. "What we do is we wait for the twerps to meet up back here again. Then, when they least expect it, we'll use Yanmega's speed to swipe the pokeballs right off of their belts, and the twerps won't even know what hit them," Jessie said. "But what about Pikachu?" Meowth asked. "That's where you come in James," Jessie said. "You can use Carnivine's vine whip to snatch Pikachu right off that twerps shoulder before sticking it in this
electric-proof cage," Jessie said, pointing to a cage with several batteries strapped to the sides. "An excellent plan, Jessie. Lets get to work," James said. The trio then snuck out of the hotel, unseen.
"Man, that was good," Ash said, stretching his arms out wide. "So Ash, where are we off to next?" Dawn asked. "You want to leave already Dawn? We've only just got here," Brock said. "Yeah Dawn, I'm hoping to go see Volkner again, see if has any good battling tricks for Pikachu here," Ash said. "Pika pika. Pikachu," Pikachu said. "Well anyway, I think I'm going to go with Ash and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid," Brock said. "Well if we're going to be sticking around I may as well go shopping for some new contest dresses and seals," Dawn replied. "So Annabel, what are you going to be doing?" Ash asked. "I don't know. I think I will go with Dawn, to make sure that she doesn't buy too much," Annabel replied. "We'll all meet back at the hotel at 6 o'clock, alright?" Brock asked. "Right!" they all replied.
At the gym
"Anyone here?" Ash yelled, pushing open the door leading into the main battling arena. After a while, when no one answered Brock said "I don't think he's here Ash. Let's go check at the lighthouse." "Hold it!" a voice commanded. "All of a sudden the lights turned on and there, standing in the middle of the arena, was the electric type gym leader, Volkner. "Hey Volkner, good to see you again," Ash said, making his way to the edge of the arena. "Good to see you too Ash. You too Brock," he replied. "So I heard you won the Sinnoh league Ash. Congratulations!" "It wasn't easy, that's for sure," Ash replied. "So anyway, I was hoping you could teach Pikachu a new skill or two." "Certainly Ash. First of all though, is Pikachu completely healed of any injuries or status problems?" Volkner asked. "Yep," Ash replied. "Right well in which case, come on out Electrivire!" Volkner shouted, throwing a pokeball into the air. Out of it came a large black and yellow Pokemon with two tails. "Now Ash I need you to get Pikachu to use Thunderbolt on Electrivire. You think you can manage that?" Volkner asked. "That's easy. Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Electrivire!" Ash commanded. The little yellow mouse Pokemon jumped into the air and sent a Thunderbolt crashing down on Electrivire's head. Electrivire just stood there as the electricity went straight through him and into the ground. "Now Electrivire, use Giga Impact!" Volkner shouted. Electrivire, still being hit by Thunderbolt, covered itself in a yellow-orange energy before going into a purple sphere and slamming into Pikachu's chest. Pikachu was sent flying into the ceiling before plummeting towards the ground. Ash ran forwards and caught Pikachu in his arms, saving it from any more injury. "Here Ash, use this," Volkner said, throwing Ash a full restore. Ash sprayed it onto Pikachu's back and chest. After a little while Pikachu's eyes opened and Ash put him down on the ground. "Hmm. It looks like you don't know about a Pokémon's weak point yet Ash," Volkner said. "All Pokemon have a weak point somewhere on their bodies. On your Pikachu the weak point is on its chest. On Electrivire the weak point is where the two tails split. If you manage to hit a Pokémon's weak point then the Pokemon will take double the usual damage, perhaps even knocking it out," Volkner concluded. "So if I know my opponent's Pokémon's weak point then my battles will be a lot easier?" Ash asked. "Exactly. However, it doesn't guarantee victory," Volkner replied. "So how do you find out a Pokémon's weak point?" Ash asked. "Either by research or through accidently hitting it. I would recommend the research if I were you," Volkner said. "Your best bet is to find a library or book shop and get a book on it." "Okay then. I'll do that," Ash replied. As Ash turned to go, Volkner suddenly told Ash to wait and dashed out of the room. When he returned, in his hands was…
Yeah I put a cliffhanger there. Hopefully the next chapter will be up soon and it will include some abilityshipping so keep reading and please review. Goodbye!
