Hey Everybody! I'm still working on the upcoming chapters for my main fic, "A New Journey," but as that work remains in progress I've decided to update this alphabet challenge I began a few years ago. Please enjoy the latest installment, and REVIEW PLEASE when finished if you have a moment! More chapters will be added as the week progresses, so keep your eyes peeled!
Energy. As in, none.
The sweltering heat did all but completely evaporate any hope of getting anything done today.
"I thought you were gonna be out all day getting ready for your big League challenge?"

She leaned in closer, only to find that under the brim of his hat, Ash was fast asleep.
"Oh…you." She wanted to be annoyed, but she couldn't blame him. He worked hard, she knew. He wasn't the irresponsible kid she grew up with anymore. If he wanted to take a day off and nap with his Pokémon, she wouldn't disturb the pair.
They actually look very sweet.
With a small, knowing smile she walked back to her gym. Just as her foot met the threshold, though, she was surprised to hear a voice pipe up from behind.
"While you're in there, could you get us some lemonade?"
Clenching her fists, she stormed back.
"You were awake?!"
"Yeah." He barely parted his lips and his eyelids remained shut.
"Then why didn't you answer me?"
"It's too hot to fight. I heard if an Ursaring attacks you, you're supposed to play dead, so I thought I'd try it on you."
The lemonade was refreshing, and the kick in the arm didn't even leave a mark.
