It was another day at the outskirts of Twinleaf town where back at the camp; Brock was opening his eyelids more and more as he wakes up early to make breakfast for everyone.

He stretches his arms up and got up from his sleeping bag to see how everyone was doing.

When he saw the camp, it was still a pretty bad-looking place after what happened yesterday; even cleaning it up didn't recover much damage. Fortunately, the cooking equipment was still useful to make breakfast.

He also saw Dawn's tent's zipper a bit opened and was facing towards F/Dawn's sleeping bag, where F/Dawn was sleeping soundly.

He also saw Ash with his Pikachu sleeping on the log near the smoking campfire with a disturbed look on his face, well yours would too if you had to sleep on a log.

He also saw Croagunk back at the camp sleeping on the ground, Brock wondered how Croagunk ever got back in the first place.

However, Brock couldn't see F/Ash anywhere in the camp. He started to wonder if F/Ash left and went back to his own time, but seeing how F/Dawn is still here, he couldn't have.

"Mmh, where is that guy?" Brock said before he went to get the utensils ready to make breakfast.

After about an hour and a half later, everyone's eyes started to pop up and smelled the delicious food Brock made. Ash and Pikachu immediately stood up to eat breakfast while Dawn woke up and change into her traveling clothes.

"Morning, Brock! Is that…" "Pika…" Ash and Pikachu's mouths started drooling at the pancakes and the scrambled eggs Brock made.

"Yep, I'm making a lot of these since we got visitors, so anyone can have seconds if they like."

"Alright!" "Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu jumps for joy after hearing "seconds" while Dawn's head popped up from the slightly open tent with her mirror in hand.

"Really? I can't wait!"

"Good morni- uhh Dawn…" Before Brock could greet her, he used his finger to point at his own head giving a signal to Dawn to check her head with her mirror, only to find out that she had a massive bed head.

"Kyaa!" Dawn shrieked after seeing the hair monstrosity and went back into her tent.

"Man, what's with girls with their hair?" Ash said while crossing his arms with a plate in hand.

"You will never know what it's like being a girl at her age." Ash and Brock were surprised when they saw F/Dawn was standing near Dawn's tent with her arms crossed.

"You always been like that, haven't you Ash?"

"D-Dawn!" Ash felt weird after saying his friend's name to a woman.

"So, your wounds healed?" Brock said with his spatula in his hand.

"Yeah, thanks to you guys."

"No sweat!" Ash chuckled with a smile on his face with a goofy pose.

"What are you gonna do now? Are you gonna go back to your own time?" Brock said casually like it's a normal thing.

"Don't know. I don't really trust what we use to time-travel, so I never use it."

"But then how you got here with Ash, the older one."

"Before we got here, I was chasing Ash when he used the celestals to time-travel, so I went ahead along with him."

"The celestals? What's that?" Brock said while scratching his head.

"It's a long story, Brock." Ash said with his hand towards him.

"So you must have heard it from your future self then?" F/Dawn asks Ash.

"Well, yeah."

"Really? What else?" Brock asks.

"Mhh can't say." Ash said while scratching his head.

"Why not?"

"Well, something about breaking the space-time whatever and no talky talky…" F/Dawn slaps her face with her hand.

"Yep, you're Ash from this time, alright."

After the crucial fact that Ash doesn't understand big words, Dawn got out from her tent with Piplup by her side while bubbles also came out of the tent, she must have used Bubblebeam.

"So how it looks?" Dawn giggled while twirling to show off her shiny hair she used Bubblebeam on to everyone.

"Still looks the same." Ash said, making Dawn pout at him.

"Ash, you're such a boy!"

"But I am a boy!" Ash and Dawn started quarreling on looks while F/Dawn watches.

"We were… pretty hyper back then."

"Yeah, but they really care for each other. So do you guys do too?" Brock said looking at F/Dawn and her back but F/Dawn turned her head away.

"No way." F/Dawn said, making Brock sigh.

"Yep, I say you're still like yourself in this time."

While they were talking, Dawn realized someone was missing in the camp while still fighting with Ash.

"Hey, where did Ash's future self go?" saying that, everyone except F/Dawn started looking around the camp, but there was no sign of F/Ash anywhere.

"Was he even sleeping here?" Dawn asks.

"I bet that he's trying to fix his bike." F/Dawn said while receiving her breakfast from Brock.

"Whoa! I have a bike?" Ash asks happily.

"Focus Ash, so he's trying to go back to his own time?" Dawn face planted Ash and went back to the main point.

"Yeah, and I'm guessing he's gonna leave me behind here."

"WHAT? How could he do that? There's no way that jerk's gonna leave m- I mean you behind!" Dawn shouted, startling everyone in the camp.

"Uhh, Dawn? That jerk is me." Ash slowly pointed it out.

"Oh, right." Dawn giggled and rubbed the back of her head. "Well, anyways, I'm gonna knock that guy some sense into him." Dawn left with her feet stomping into the forest.

"Wait Dawn, wait for me!" Ash left his plate and followed her.

"Pika!" Pikachu did the same.

"Wait, what are you guys doing?" F/Dawn ran to the kids, leaving Brock behind.

"Man how come I'm always left behind?" Brock sighed and returned Croagunk into his Poké-ball and followed them as well.

Back at the forest almost near the pond, there was F/Ash with his bike with tools in hand trying to fix it. F/Ash used his arm to wipe off the sweat on his forehead while sighing while looking at his bike.

"Well, it took all night, but I think I finally fixed it." F/Ash said before yawning while stretching his arms.

"Now all that's left is too put the celestals working and get the hell out of here before Dawn catches me." F/Ash put his bike into its mounting position and got on it.

"But wait, if I leave now, won't Dawn be trapped in here forever?" F/Ash was left standing there with his bike thinking. Of course he would be glad that he gets to be away from F/Dawn, but he didn't want to leave F/Dawn stuck in this time forever.

"Of course, she was the one that made me work on it all night!" he remembered before he time-traveled that F/Dawn shot his bike's coil.

However, he's done with thinking after he heard a scream from a familiar voice from his past.

"FREEZE BUSTER!" F/Ash froze in his tracks after he heard the same freeze but this time from her younger self, what cruel irony.

He saw Dawn with her Piplup and Ash with Pikachu, along with F/Dawn and Brock running towards him.

"What now?" F/Ash said to the tired gang.

"Ash, were you… gonna leave the… future me behind?" Dawn said while trying to catch her breath.

"So what if I am?" Dawn was surprised at the sudden cold response.

"You can't do that! That's horrible!"

"Yeah, I don't know what happened in your time, but there's no way I'm would leave Dawn alone!" Ash said making Dawn blush a bit from her cheeks.

"Okay fine. Guess you caught me." After he heard Ash say that, F/Ash acted like he is a criminal.

"Well, you're gonna get on or what?" Ash and Dawn turned around to see who F/Ash was talking to. F/Dawn stared at F/Ash for quite some time, and replied.

"Tch, there's no way I'm gonna ride with a criminal like you." Everyone's eyes widened, even F/Ash, at the even colder response from F/Dawn.

"Wha- What are you saying?" Dawn stuttered at her self's decision.

"You want to be stuck here forever?" Ash questioned.

"Mmph, why not? It's better than going back with you."

"Are you serious?" said F/Ash, couldn't believe what she said.

"Yeah, so just go ahead already." F/Ash looked at F/Dawn to see if she's just kidding, but her face was serious. Soon he started his bike, which made a roaring sound then a low grumble, ready to ride.

"You know, I not gonna come back to get you." F/Ash said once more.

"Maybe, maybe not." F/Dawn said, still with a serious face.

"Really, you will be stuck here forever." F/Ash said again.

"I know, so would you just go already?" F/Dawn's face was still the same, but Ash and Dawn were confused what was going on.

"You know, you sound like you wanted me to come with you." Dawn whispered to Ash.

"I got the same feeling, so why wouldn't you go?" Ash whispered back.

"Fine! I'll go! See you around Dawn." F/Ash turned his handle to start up the engine, which made everyone to step aside while F/Ash is ready to ride.

"Umm, Are you sure you know what you're doing Dawn?" Brock whispered to F/Dawn.

"I don't want to ride with him of all people." F/Dawn coldly said.

"But that's-"but it didn't matter, F/Ash was already raring to go as he turn his gear again to ride, but as he stepped on his petal, the bike's roaring suddenly stops.

"What the hell?" F/Ash checked his bike, and later he dropped his head on it and punched his handle like a mallet. Everyone was surprised and wanted to know what happened.

"Let me guess" F/Dawn speaks. "No gas?"

"…" F/Ash only stayed in silence as everyone was surprised that he had forgotten the most important thing as the atmosphere went silent, until someone speaks up.

"…So who wants breakfast?" After Brock said it, F/Ash, with his head still down, raised his hand slowly to show it to Brock.

"I'll have some…" F/Ash slowly said.

"That' a boy. Let's go."

Sometime later, the gang ate some of Brock's breakfast. Ash was already on his 4th, and Dawn was already on her 5th, turns out that she really likes pancakes.

While the gang's amazed at how Dawn's kept asking for more, we go to the grownups, again by their lonesome away from the gang, in a conversation.

"You knew, didn't you?" asked F/Ash eating pancakes with a suspecting look on his face.

"What ever do you mean Ash?" said F/Dawn with a content look on her face while eating eggs.

"You know damn well what I mean! You knew that thing was out of gas!" F/Ash said, now with an angry face, and pointed at F/Dawn while she finishes eating the pancake to answer.

"Well, I did shoot at your bike and you were losing speed before we came here, so it was obvious." F/Dawn looked at F/Ash with her eyes slightly open, practically mocking F/Ash in the face.

"Besides, even though you fixed it "all night", you still haven't noticed that you were out!" F/Ash sweat dropped.

"W-Well I was tired! I couldn't be able to focus!"

"Yeah right! This is just like when we traveled together and you stepped on a sleeping taurous's tail and they chased us all day!" F/Dawn stands up and directly made a blow to F/Ash.

"That was by accident and you know it!" F/Ash also stands up and tried to defend himself.

"Anyways, weren't you the one that once spilled Brock's food to the ground, and picked it up and put it back to the same pot at that day? We got stomachaches for hours!" F/Ash also dealt a blow, as F/Dawn sweat dropped as she remembers it perfectly.

"T-That wasn't my fault! I-It was the wind!"

"Hah! Nice excuse! But there's no way in hell that the wind would knock over that huge pot!"

As they continue the fight, they didn't notice that the gang was listening to the whole thing…

"Wow, maybe I shouldn't leave Dawn with food duties from now." Brock said as he rubs his chin and thinks a way to avoid such difficulties.

"H-Hey! I'm not that clumsy!" Dawn said as she protests.

"And Ash, you should really watch where you're stepping."

"I-I know that!" While Brock gives advice to the younger selves, we go back to the fight of the older selves.

"Auugh! This is just like you! I can't believe that even after all this time, you still haven't change!" F/Dawn said.

"Same goes for you!" F/Ash said back.

"You're still such a dense-headed, thinks only about himself boy!"

"And you're such an over obsessive about useless stuff like hair, girly girl!" After that comment, angry signs came pouring out of F/Dawn's head, as F/Dawn's anger were that of a volcano.

"HHUUUAARGGHH! THAT'S IT!" F/Dawn, completely pissed, threw a roundhouse kick at F/Ash's stomach. However, sensing this, F/Ash quickly flips backwards to dodge the kick and jumps away from F/Dawn.

"What the hell was that for?" F/Ash asked to F/Dawn, totally pissed too.

"Stand still!" F/Dawn grunted and was heading for F/Ash once more, and tried to punch his face, but F/Ash blocked it with his arm, and used his kick to hit F/Dawn's side. But F/Dawn quickly uses both her arms to block the kick, and immediately backed off.

"Hey! You can't hit me! I'm a girl!" F/Dawn shouts to F/Ash.

"What? Did you expect that I wasn't gonna do anything after you tried to hit me?"

F/Ash was the first to move in now as he tried throws lots of punches F/Dawn. F/Dawn managed to evade every single punch he threw and used the advantage to hit him with an uppercut.

She delivered the blow as F/Ash was hit at the chin and was sent flying to the ground. F/Ash rubbed his chin to make the pain bearable before he used his arm to lift himself from the ground and got back to his feet.

"Ack! How you learn to do that?" F/Ash asks as he continues to rub his chin.

"Well, girls like me need to know how to defend themselves, so after I joined the police force, I learned some Tae-Kwan-Doe moves just in case." She moves her right hand towards F/Ash and used her finger to move front and back.

F/Ash went ahead to deliver more punches to F/Dawn, while F/Dawn evades them; she also delivers some punches and kicks to F/Ash, but he dodges them as well. But while they fight, Ash and Dawn was watching and thinking a way to stop them.

"Come on! Hit her again! Left! Right! No try kicking!" Ash was swinging his fists while he gives instructions as he watches the fight.

"Quick! Dodge that! Okay now kick! Wait, use the other leg!" Dawn also gave instructions as she watches the fight.

"Come on, aren't they not supposed to show such violence in front of children?" Brock thoughts as he watches the whole ordeal.

Back at the fight, F/Ash already had some light bruises on his body while F/Dawn got some dirt on hers. F/Ash swung his fist one more time at F/Dawn, but F/Dawn bent her back down to dodge it. F/Dawn uses this chance to lift one of her leg upwards, and managed to hit F/Ash's private part.

"EEEEEEEGHEEEHEHE!" F/Ash squeals as the pain from his crotch was too much, and fell down in defeat. F/Dawn, on the ground due to the loss of balance, won the fight.

"HAH! VICTORY! You just got beat by a girl!" F/Dawn lifts herself up and did a victory sign at the fallen F/Ash.

"Ch…cheater…" F/Ash was trying to hold of what's left of his consciousness as the pain was unbearable.

"Hey! No fair! That's a foul!" Ash objects of how his future self got beaten.

"Hah! No way! Girls rule and boys drool!" Dawn felt proud as she put her hands on her hips to make a victory pose.

"N-No fair, you can't hit below the belt!" F/Ash says with pain to F/Dawn.

"It's was a man versus a woman, I think that rule would apply to girls."

"Come on! Even if it is a man versus woman, no one hits a man's junk in a fight!" F/Ash shouts to F/Dawn as she laughs at her opponent.

"Is it me? Or does it look like there're having fun rather than fighting?" Brock thinks as he watches the laughter and the hilariousness of the fight.

"I bet I can take you down in a Pokémon battle!" F/Ash pointed at F/Dawn while trying to stand up.

"Oh? I think I'll take that challenge!" F/Dawn agrees to do a battle as she jumps away from F/Ash to make a field.

"Oh cool! A future Pokémon battle!" Dawn squeals out of excitement.

"Brock! Can you be the judge of this battle?" Ash asks to Brock.

"Pika!"

"I guess, if they want me too that is."

"Sure, why not?" F/Dawn said to Brock as he walks towards the middle of the side of the field to judge.

F/Ash checked his belt and got a small Pokéball at his fingertips. He pushed a button on it and makes the ball enlarge to the size of his hand that looks like an ultra-ball. F/Dawn did the same except that the ball was a heavy-ball.

"Ready old friend?" said F/Dawn to F/Ash.

"Ready when you are!"

"All right, battle … BEGIN!" As Brock swung his arms down to commence the fight, both threw their Pokéballs.

"Alright, I choose you!" F/Ash and F/Dawn threw the balls at the exact same time as the balls opened up as white light came out and when it touched the ground, they transform into large Pokémon that completely caught everyone by surprise, actually shocked.

"A Lugia?" Ash shouts.

"A Palkia?" Dawn shouts.
