Chapter 5

"If you can beat my one pokemon, then I will use Regigigas as your wish."

Diamond's seniors never thought that Diamond will say such words, but they don't care too much. Ash wants to battle the Regigigas quickly, so he accepts.

"First say, I has 32 badges from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. How many badge you has?" Include Ash, except dex holders, everyone think that Diamond has many badges if he has Regigigas.

"I has no badge, no even one."

"What!? No even one? Don't lie! How you catch Regigigas with no even one badge?" Ash asks with unbelievable.

"But my two Pokémons battle with gym leader one time with borrow them to my friend. And I only catch one Pokémon in my whole life, another four is giving by the others, and Gi, my Regigigas chose me as its Trainer itself. So I only has six Pokémon. Say incidentally, Gegigigas is my sixth Pokémon."

"No way! You mean you never battle and Regigigas accept you as it's Trainer? And you only has six Pokémons! Did you open it's heart to make it accept you?"

"Actually is it just come out and help me in some battle and then follow me."

"Are you kidding me? You no even do something and it follow you by itself!? Why someone like you who with no badge can get Regigigas and I already get 8 badges but still did not accept by my Charizard and try so hard to made it accept me? How many region you travel?"

"One region, Sinnoh region."

"Only one!?"

"Ash, Diamond must be some kind of genius, if he wants to become Pokemon Master too he must be the strongest Trainer in the history and all the world, so be careful!" Misty calls Ash to calm down and Red thinks his counterpart is some kind of weak even after the battle of two Pikachues.

"Anyway, please let me research your Regigigas after the fight okay?" Professor Oak begs Diamond and Diamond accept.

When Ash meet Diamond uses Torterra, he uses Torterra too, then Brock the referee starts the fight.

Ash lets his Torterra use Rock Climb, then the ground below Diamond's Torterra rise up, and then the claws of Ash's Torterra grows longer and climb up the rising ground to attack another Torterra. Diamond orders his Torterra use Earthquake to shatter the rising ground and fall with the opponent and attack with Wood Hammer. The powerful physical move that same type with it's user, the heavy Pokémon that good with physical attack from the swell, it creates a critical attack to Ash's Pokémon. Ash's Torterra lands on the ground with his back, Diamond use this chance to use Crunch, then pull it to the other side.

After Ash's Torterra turns it's legs back to the ground. Ash orders his partner to use Leaf Storm to protect itself. The Leaf Storm surrounds and attacks Diamond's Torterra crazily. But Diamond's Torterra endures it. Diamond lets his Torterra use Giga Drain to absorb the power and Ash lets his Torterra use Energy Ball attack continuously.

Finally, the end of two grass type moves that one absorb and one attack is come. It is obvious that Diamond's Torterra is more spirit than it's opponent.

Ash wants his tired partner use Razor Leaf, but before his Torterra uses Razor Leaf, it hits by a weird move of Diamond's partner.

"Tru, Dia's One-Mach-..."

Before Diamond finishes his words, Ash's Torterra is hit by a super high speed leaf at right side of it's back. The leaf still advance, it cut down some trees and insert into the rock, then the rock cut into half and the leaf stops finally. The Torterra who was hit by that leaf is faint too.

"And Only Razor Leaf!"

Everyone don't know what was happening, they silence and the only sound they hear is Emerald's whistles, Red's consider that Diamond win and Crystal's praise. Then Diamond starts to explain what was happen.

"Razor Leaf is a move that attack with the leaves, if more leaves then more slow. But what will happen if only one leaf?"

"Wait, that mean you can end the fight more quickly if use that move successive and win this battle!" Brock says in surprise, he never think that usage of Razor Leaf, not even one of them.

Ash checks his fainted partner in worry. He comforts his Torterra then withdraw it into it's Poké Ball.

"Looks like Diamond doesn't need to use Regigigas." Says Emerald while Brock announces Diamond's victory.

"Wow! I never expect that Razor Leaf has usage like this." Says Dawn.

"Me too! I never think that I will lose to two Trainers in one day." Says Ash.

"Pikachu!" Says Pikachu.

"Even the slow guy like Diamond can beat you. You are luck that you never meet them in the league. Even Diamond is more maturer than you." Says Misty.

"Why Diamond is more maturer than me?" Ash feels a bit angry to this.

"If you win you will 'oh yeah! oh yeah' and carry away like a child, you always like that and they not. Not even Diamond has Regigigas and Red's Pikachu can use Surf, you also see that how Emerald fight and how Crystal save Pikachu. They just like some kind of Elite Four. I think only Elite Four and Champion can win."

"Now lose but that's nothing! I will train hard with my Pokémons and become more stronger and become Pokémon Master!"

"You always win with luck or some drama scene, you really think you can beat them? They would become more stronger too."

"Yes! I'm sure I can!" Ash says with determined.

When Crystal hears it, she giggles.

"What you laugh? Crystal. Are you think I can't too?"

"No, I just somewhat happy."

"Huh?" Ash doen't know what the girl happy, even the dex holders too.

"I hears about that Red-senpai was like you when he started the journey." Crystal tells an information that surprise Red and Misty.

"What!? Red was like that too?" Misty can't believe that the mature boy who similar to Ash was same with Ash when small.

"Look Misty, Red is same with me so I can become Pokémon Master." Ash start to carry away.

"But Red-senpai become mature before he finishes his first and only journey." Crystal tells again.

"What? Red only travel one region?" Shouts Ash that he travels four regions and this Red only travel one region.

"And you not even grow up a little after four region." Misty teases Ash again.

"By the way, how you know that?" Asks Red.

"The one who gives you the Pokédex told me."

Oh, Professor Oak.

When Red knows the answer, Crystal speaks again.

"But you still have same point."

"What? How Red and Ash same even their face are similar?" Misty doesn't think that someone like Red has same with Ash.

Crystal turns her face back to Red.

"You must know the answer right? Fighter." Even is question, but tone is certain.

Red just silence a while and say "I thinks I know what your mean."

Misty hears their talk and see the situation, then she suddenly know(mistake) one thing.

"By the way, you two are in red shirt and blue trouser, and wear a hat too." Misty says with an evil smile.

"Eh?" Two dex holders suddenly shock by this situation.

"And you two just like only you two know something, are you two a cou..." Before Misty can finish, Crystal interrupts quickly and tension.

"No! We not couple! We're just friends!" While Crystal explains, her face is red than before.

"I'm not even say 'couple' yet, and you calls Red 'Red-senpai', you must admire him or what, am I right?" Misty just stop and watch the blushed girl with evil smile while Emerald glares Red.

"No! It's truth!"

"Come on! How you has not fall in love with this handsome boy? Or your love is Diamond?"

"Ah! Red-senpai, help me to explain!"

"You finds your boyfriend when you're in trouble."

"No! Is...Ah!"

"Ha ha." Red blushes by this misunderstanding and imagine him marries with Crystal then shock his head.

"Hey, what love?" By 'idiot'.

"The child doesn't need to know." By Misty with contempt eyes.

"What you mean 'child'?" Ash angry that his friend says him like that and Pikachu just shake it's head.

"Crystal-san, may I ask something?"

Crystal happy that Dawn helps her but don't know what her want to ask.

"When you save Pikachu, you says first, second or sort of thing, are you talent something? And why you call Red fighter?"

"Oh that, actually we have special skills. Mine is Pokémon catching, and I am known as the 'Catcher', and Red-senpai's is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the 'Fighter'. Dia-kun also has an ability to analyze the situation at hand - when something strikes him as illogical, he will attempt to make sense out of it. Dia-kun has a somewhat natural instinct to judge how a Pokémon feels and can be quite observant when something arouses his interest. He is driven by emotion, thus associated with Mesprit, so he is 'Empathizer'. Emerald has the ability to determine the birthplace of any Pokémon by sight. He uses this ability along with his gun to calm rampaging Pokémon. Emerald carries several gadgets with him, primarily his extendable mechanical hands. He also has a pistol that shoots soil from various places around the world. By shooting a Pokémon with a "seal" of soil from its birthplace, the Pokémon is calmed by a sense of nostalgia, so he is 'Calmer'."

After Crystal finishes her explain, the four dex holders meet the group in surprise and silence, then Delia breaks the silence.

"Wow, I never thought that all of you are so amazing!" She says in admire.

"Diamond meets Mesprit too? I, Ash and Brock seen it too!" By Dawn.

"You are like the Elite Four! No, is more amazing than Elite Four. You can say you are Genius Four." Misty starts to admire them.

"If like that, then my special skill is Pokémon battling, same with Red!" By Ash.

"Idiot, don't embarrass yourself. Even it is truth, you are weaker than them. Even still has two no fight yet, I don't think you can win them." By Misty.

"Hey! Can you stop talk me?" By Ash.

Dawn asks the dex holders what their starter Pokémon are to start the journey, but the dex holders don't know what she talking about. Everyone surprise that they don't know this basic and tell them about three starter Pokémon from different region, Pokédex and not only eight Gym. Ash laughes them that they don't know even this and say by Misty at least they are more stronger and maturer than Ash.

Four dex holders say that they have not experience that but they were given this type of Pokémon and Pokédex from their region by someone. Then they let out their Venusaur, Meganium, Sceptile and Torterra.

"All is grass type?" Says Brock.

"Grass Four." Misty plays a joke.

"Are all genius use grass type starter Pokémon?" Asks Dawn.

"All of them are strong and healthy. By the way, Dia-kun, can let me research your Regigigas now?" By Professor Oak.

"Okay.~" By Diamond.

And the meantime, the fire group is flying to Pallet Town, but they meet some problem.

"Where are they hide?" By Gold with Togekiss.

"And why they fly to us from the sky?" By Sapphire with Tropius.

"Just hurry to find them then we need to go to Cerulean City. After go to Pallet Town." By Pearl with Chatot.

"And I still can't believe that the Meowth you say really can talk." By Green with Charizard.

In the bushes, Team Rocket curse their bad luck.

"Why are we so unlucky today?" By Jessie.

"And looks like that three kids have some different than I know." By James.

"By the way, I'm hungry meow." By Meowth.

"Sōnansu!" By Wobuffet.

"What a bad feeling (Sōnansu)!" This is third times they say this lines in today.
