Hey guys. Cara here, this is chapter four of Destiny's bond. Thank you all again for those who've reviewed, followed and favorited. Sadly my school break is over and I'm going to be busy most of the week again. So chapters may be coming out later in the day or in two days at a time instead of one. But I managed to finish this one so I hope you enjoy it. Now here it is:

Chapter 4

Elle had just gotten over to Misty's table. She wasn't sure how to introduce herself. Then she saw the man Misty was talking to. Dark hair, deep brown eyes, red hat, blue jacket and jeans. Ash Ketchum. Elle was bursting with excitement. She calmed herself down and then walked briskly over to Misty and Ash.

"Excuse me, I'm really sorry for interrupting your meal but I'm Elle Greene. I went to the gym to see if you were there then your sister Violet sent me here." Elle said trying to look as confident as possible.

"Oh, sorry I wasn't there. This is Ash if you haven't met him already." Misty said.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." Ash said holding out his hand. Elle shook it. Oh my god I'm shaking Ash's hand she thought.

"So you're looking for a gym battle. I remember when I came here. Misty's pretty tough to beat." Ash said grinning at his old friend.

"Stop it Ash you're embarrassing me."

"Don't let the fact she's a water type specialist fool you. She's really bad with a fishing pole." Ash joked. Misty hit him over the head. Ash laughed and Misty's glare softened.

"Anyways I accept your challenge. I'll meet you back at the gym after Ash pays." Misty said a mischievous look in her eyes.

Ash's laugh turned into confusion. "I have to pay?!"

Misty hit him again. Elle smiled and walked away. She headed back to the gym. Elle saw Sonic and Leon waiting for her in the lobby.

"How'd it go?" Elle asked.

"Not important. We're here to support you during your gym battle if you're having one. I don't see the challenger." Sonic said. Leon didn't bother to answer. The two had agreed not to tell Elle about their run in with Team Rocket or show her the Chaos Emerald until after the battle so she wouldn't loose her focus or get scared.

"Actually Elle's the challenger. I'm the Gym Leader. And yes she is going to get a battle." Misty said walking through the door. "Would you three please follow me to the arena?"

Misty opened a door and lead them down a flight of stairs. At the end was a row of bleachers and to the side a huge pool. Misty continued walking and stood at the far end of the pool. Elle stood opposite her. Leon and Sonic sat on the bleachers.

"Are you ready Elle?" Misty called.

"Ready." Elle said.

"Alright Goldeen I choose you!" Misty threw a pokeball and out came Goldeen. Sonic's eyes widened. He'd never seen a creature like that nor technology able to hold it.

"Jolteon let's go!" Elle tossed her pokeball and a bright yellow Pokemon came out. Leon watched with interest. Sonic seemed ready to jump out of his seat and join the fight.

"Goldeen use horn attack." The Goldeen leaped from the water and aimed for Jolteon horn first.

"Why isn't it dodging? Dodge Jolteon!" Sonic yelled.

Leon knew what Elle was doing. Electric types and water types were as strong as they were weak against each other. Just as Goldeen made contact with Jolteon Elle called, "Jolteon use spark!" Jolteon erupted in a crackle of lightning. Goldeen was flung backwards into the water. It looked completely fried and wiped out. Jolteon was also injured due to the horn attack.

"Not bad but I still have two Pokemon left. Return Goldeen." Misty said.

Elle returned her Jolteon too.

"Starmie it's your turn." Misty sent out her Starmie.

Elle threw another pokeball and out came a Bulbasaur.

"Starmie use water gun" "Bulbasuar jump over it and use vine whip."

Starmie shot out water. Bulbasaur took a running leap and soared over the water. Vines came out of his bulb and picked up Starmie. Then Starmie was slammed on the ground.

"Starmie use bubble." Bubbles shot out at Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur let go and flew back onto the platform. The bubbles popped against her. "Razor leaf." Bulbasaur shot sharp leaves at Starmie. "Dodge it Starmie." The leaves were to fast and hit Starmie knocking him back. Starmie hit the ground by Misty. He was knocked out.

"Starmie return."

"Bulbasaur return"

"I haven't lost yet and I hope you have some tricks up your sleeve." Misty sent out a Dewgong.

"I think you'll find I'm full of surprises." Elle said. Elle tossed up a luxary ball. Her shiny Mew Max popped out. Misty looked shocked and Elle used that to her advantage.

"Max, combo #4." *side note - a combo is not a real pokemon attack. it's a series of regular offensive or defensive actions Elle has trained Mew to use so he doesn't use all his legendary power unfairly*

The Mew moved with lightning fast ability. He lifted Dewgong out of the water psychically and then proceeded to beat Dewgong up. Max used his tail to hit Dewong. Then Dewgong was trapped in a little blue bubble. Max bounced on it around the pool. Dewgong looked so dizzy it would become sick.

"Dewgong use ice beam to break the bubble!" Misty shouted.

But Dewgong was so dizzy it wanted out. It force returned to the safety of its pokeball. Misty studied the Mew curiously. Max had put himself in a bubble to bounce around in.

"So does this mean Elle won?" Sonic asked.

"Ah right, yes I admit defeat." Misty said snapping back to reality.

Elle called Max over. She said something quietly to him and returned him to his luxary ball. Leon guessed Misty was just as puzzled as he was to how Elle had a Mew. They followed Misty back into the lobby. Elle looked kinda sad. Leon noticed and was going to ask if she was okay when Sonic beat him to it.

"You okay Elle? You don't look like someone who's happy to win a gym battle." Sonic said.

"No um I'm fine." Elle said.

"Okay. hey have you ever heard of a chili dog? They're really good." Sonic said changing the subject.

Leon would've done the same. Of course he wanted to help his friends but he never wanted them to feel pressured. "We have them here. I bet we could go get some at that cafe." Leon added.

"But first I have to give Elle this." Misty said holding an aqua blue case. She opened it up. Sitting in shiny purple velvet was the Cerulean City Cascade Badge. She took it out and handed it to Elle. "Congratulations."

"Thanks. I was glad to battle you and even meet Ash Ketchum." Elle said graciously accepting it.

"I was glad too. That was one of the most interesting battles I've had in a while." Misty said.

"Well how about we get some of those chili dogs?" Sonic said.

"Yeah. Bye Misty." Elle said.

"Bye Elle. Come visit soon." Misty said.

Then the three parted ways and headed down to the cafe for some well deserved chili dogs.
