Chapter 4 - Ash and gang goes to Hoenn
Ashlynn was getting excited as now it was only a couple of months left to her 15th birthday then she will have one more year left til she can start her journey, she is still training her pokemon every day, making them practice moves until they are perfect, right now she had done a level cap, so they can reach a certain level before they stop, it is a temporary thing and can be removed easily, she has also given out Everstones as well to stop evolutions from happening before the pokemon are ready for them, some say they won't evolve til they fight in a gym, some not til they have their first real battle when she is an actual trainer, and some have the friendship required to evolve but won't til the day she becomes a trainer.
As Ashlynn was looking around she spotted her Feebas, Beldum, Poochyena and her male and female Ralts also was looking at her Vulpix, Porygon, Scyther and her Pinsir and was remembering how she had got them and also made new friends at the same time.
"Flashback"
Today was Ashlynn's 12th birthday, she had found out that for this year they were going to Hoenn for a holiday, they were only going to be in Hoenn for about a month max, but they will not be going for another of couple of weeks.
As it was Ashlynn's birthday today they decided to throw a big birthday party and to her surprise, a few of her friends she had made last year and even the year before will be there as well.
When it was time for the party, her parents had her blind folded so she couldn't see her surprise, when they got to Oak's Lab they took off her blind fold and when she looked around she had noticed Riley and Volkner was there, Lance, Claire and Bianca with her Grandfather Lorenzo as well which was a shock, she asked them what they were doing here considering she was expecting them to all be busy, but they all pretty much replied back stating they wanted to surprise her for her birthday, and she was surprised, and shocked everyone she knew could actually keep it from her at the same time.
After getting over her shock she went around and gave everyone hugs and thanked them for coming, for gifts Riley had gave her more books about aura advancing to the next stage of aura training and an aura guardian outfit for a female as well, Volkner and the rest of her friends and family gave her gifts to do with either her pokemon journey, money or anything to do with learning more about pokemon.
After getting her presents they had the food and started the music all the younger ones danced around but Lance, Volkner and Riley joined in with them as well Claire was off to the side looking amused at them all dancing, especially as some of them could not dance for the life of them –cough- Gary –cough-.
Ashlynn's Birthday party lasted several hours before they called it quits for the night and headed off to their homes, whilst Riley, Volkner were staying with Professor Oak in his Lab, Lance and Claire are staying with Emerald and her family and Bianca and Lorenzo are staying with Delia, Red and Ashlynn.
The guests that were the surprise for Ash stayed for a couple of days before heading back home again but not before reminding Ash to keep in touch with them.
Once the guests have left Ashlynn started up her training again and had set up new moves for her pokemon to learn. She remembers when she set up the training for Luna and Minerva to do, since they were no longer babies anymore and could start training with the others, it was about a month and half after she had came home from Johto, the moves they learnt were the following:
Luna – Covet, endeavour, endure, heal bell, helping hand and icy wind.
Minerva – After you, covet, endeavour, endure, helping hand and icy wind.
The moves everyone will be learning this year that they will have to practice and perfect are the following: -
Riolu – Bulk up, hidden power, sunny day, protect, rain dance and return.

After giving the pokemon the new moves they would be learning, she and her team got to training, as they do every day.
Several weeks later the guys are heading off to Hoenn, they decided they were going to get the boat even though there was a way of getting there via plane which would be much quicker.
They arrived at Vermillion City in a couple of hours due to flying on their pokemon and boarded the ship going to Hoenn. The journey to Hoenn from Kanto will take 3 days in total.
3 days later and they had arrived in Hoenn; they were going to Littleroot town first to meet up with Professor Birch, like with Professor Elm, Professor Birch was going to give them an update to their pokédex so that they could see the Hoenn's pokemon and scan them.
After arriving at Professor Birch's Lab they had met him as well as his son Brandon, they were staying in Littleroot town for a few days so the gang all decided to get to know Brandon as he was their age as well.
Professor Birch updated all their pokédex's to include the Hoenn content as well, so now the gang was just hanging out with Brandon getting to know him, and just relaxing in Littleroot Town for the next few days before going to the next place they would be staying at.
Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald found out pretty quickly that they got along with Brandon pretty easily, and they became fast friends due to the fact they were all similar ages, and similar interests as in pokemon.
Several days later the gang was on their way to the next city they were going to stay at which was Petalburg City, before leaving Littleroot Town, Ashlynn and gang swapped numbers and contact details with Brandon, so they had another friend they could keep in touch with throughout the years.
Due to the fact they will only be spending limited of time to each city as they only here for about a month they decided instead of walking to each place they would fly on their pokemon or parent's pokemon as it were.
Flying from Littleroot Town to Petalburg City did not take too long only about 1 hour and they were going to stay there for about 3 days in total, before moving onto Rustboro City.
Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald were a bit confused why they were going to Petalburg City due to the fact it wasn't a wide known city, but the adults cleared it up and said its more for relaxation before hitting a bigger city plus they could look around the area near the city in the forests and what not and capture some pokemon if they capture their interests or not.
Once they arrived in Petalburg City, the whole gang went off to find a hotel where they could stay for the next few days and nights before going off and doing their own things, Professor Oak decided he was going to go into one of the forests near Petalburg and just pokemon watch like he used to in the olden days, Red and Delia was just going to have a quiet day to themselves without worry about anything, Yellow and Blue decided they were going to have a look around the city whilst Silver and Aileen (Green) decided they were just going to see where the day takes them, and to stoke up on some supplies as well for the group for the upcoming holiday encase anything unexpected happens.
Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald decided they were going to look around in the forests surrounding Petalburg to see if there will be any pokemon they would like to capture at all.
Once they got to the forest they decided they were going to go and split up and meet up again in 4 hours time as that will be when lunch is due.
After about an hour of walking, something had caught Ashlynn's attention, following what had caught her attention she had taken out her pokédex to identify the pokemon, when she scanned the pokemon she noticed it was a Poochyena but it was also guarding two little pokemon that she couldn't get a look at properly, but noticed that they were injured and noticed not far from her was a cage that was damaged, she approached the Poochyena but made herself to appear non aggressive, and took some food out for the three pokemon, by doing this she could also get a look overall on the injuries of the two other pokemon.
When the three pokemon realised she wasn't going to harm them, they began to eat the food, whilst eating the food Ash had looked over the pokemon and noticed that they were both ralts and shiny ones at that, and were pretty banged up but a potion would be able to fix it all with some antidote as well, so after they finished eating Ash took out her potions and some antidote and looked to the Poochyena and then to the ralts stating her intentions, the ralts were a bit weary but allowed her to heal them both, and they both felt alot better straight away, Ash was glad she was able to help them.
Ash then decided she was going to let out her pokemon out and let them just chill in the area, so out came the guys she had on her, her Houndour Hades immediately went on guard as he spotted unknown pokemon, but calmed under Ash touch as she explained that they were new friends and that she had just helped healed the two little ones, Thor, Amaterasu, Eevee, Luna and Minerva all greeted the two little ones affectionately before greeting Poochyena as well, then they all started to play with one another, after about an hour and half of playing, Ashlynn took note of the time and realized she only had half an hour left before she would have to head on back, after another 15 mintues she grabbed her pokemon's attention and told them it was time for them to get going, the two Ralts were disappointed about this, and the Poochyena was slightly sadden as well, the Ralts both ran up to Ashlynn and tugged on her trousers to gain her attention, they started to explain to her that they wanted to join her as she healed them up and cared for them, and then allowed her pokemon to play with them, they also told her that they were brother and sister, so Ash accepted them, and captured them in a ball each and then let them out.
Poochyena was up next to her, and stated that if Ash would battle her, she would join if she is beaten, so Ash told Hades that it was his turn for a battle, the battle only lasted 2 mins and Ash had won, she walked up to where Poochyena was and gently tapped her with a pokéball and captured her as well.
Thor was on her shoulder, whilst the male ralts was on her other shoulder and the female was cuddled into Ashlynn's arms, Poochyena was walking to the side of Ash as well practically on her feet. Whilst walking back to meet up with the rest of the gang again, she had asked if the three new pokemon wanted nicknames, and they all stated they did, so for the Male Ralts his nickname is now Ares, for the Female Ralts her nickname is now Athena and for the Poochyena her nickname is now Nox, all pokemon loved their nicknames.
After about an hour of walking, Ash had got to the place where they were all meeting up again and as she arrived she noticed that the others did as well, she noticed that the other two had caught some new pokemon as well, so they introduced their new team members to each other and then carried on walking back into the city.
Once they got into the city it was decided that they would meet up with the parents for some lunch, once they met up Ashlynn showed off the new pokemon she had captured as did Gary and Emerald, the adults all congratulated them on their captures, and then had food before heading off to the hotel to relax for the rest of the day.
In the hotel they were staying at was a training area they could use for their pokemon, and at the moment you could find Ashlynn there with her three new pokemon out, giving them moves to learn.
Poocheyna was to learn the following moves: - Covet, Endure, Snatch, Snore, Spite and Super fang.
Ralts M Shiny (Ares) was to learn the following moves: - Endure, helping hand, icy wind, magic coat, magic room and pain split.
Ralts F Shiny (Athena) was to learn the following moves: - Endure, helping hand, icy wind, magic coat, magic room and pain split.
Once Ashlynn had set up the moves her new captures were going to learn, she sent out her older pokemon, and got them to work on the moves she had set them up to learn previously, and also to provide help when needed.
Several hours later it was Dinner time, and Ashlynn returned her pokemon and went upstairs to where the rest of the gang was as they were all going out for a meal again tonight before heading back to the hotel then going to bed.
The gang stayed in Petalburg City for three days in total, before heading off to Rustboro City.
On the final day of being in Petalburg City, the gang met Norman, Caroline, May and Max, May and Max was intrigued with the kids that were older than them, and the pokemon they had with them, the followed Ash, Gary and Emerald around for the morning, before they were told that Ash and the rest of the gang would be leaving soon, May did not like this, although she was younger than ash and the rest of them as she was only 10, she was more mature than most other females in her age group, and had became fast friends with Ash, so Ash told her that they still could keep in contact anyways, so both of them exchanged contact details to keep in touch.
After having breakfast with the Maples, they gang was starting to get ready to head off to Rustboro City, they were just saying their goodbyes to their new friends before heading off again.
They all mounted up on the flying type pokemon or pokemon that could fly, and headed to Rustboro, the flight from Petalburg to Rustboro will take only an hour, and they will be arriving there for around 11am, which gives them 2 hours in total to find accommodation before having lunch.
Once they got into the city they headed to a hotel that seemed more welcoming than others and found that they had rooms available they quickly booked up, they also noticed that this hotel also had a training room/ gym for both pokemon and people, as well as a indoor swimming pool, and a pool for water types to use as well.
They decided that today they would relax but tomorrow they were going to meet up with Mr Joseph Stone, the president of Devon Corporation and the father of Hoenn's champion Steven Stone.
The day had passed quickly, once they had booked the hotel rooms, had food, but Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald decided they were going to use the training rooms for the pokemon, the adults were all in one of their rooms playing different types of card games, talking and just generally relaxing.
Ash and the rest of the gang had trained with their pokemon for several hours before calling it a night, and went up to where all their parents were and then all went down for some Dinner, before relaxing for the evening before going to bed.
The next day, the gang decided to get up at 8am, have breakfast out in the city somewhere before heading to meet up with Mr J Stone, the youngster had found out that Mr Stone is responsible for making the device known as the Pokénav.
After having breakfast they made their way to the Devon Corporation, whilst Professor Oak messaged Mr Stone to let him know that he and his family and family friends will be at the building soon.
Once they got to the building Mr Stone was outside waiting for them to greet them and show them around, he also stated that his son was there as well which was unusual as he is usually busy with his duties as a champion, but a nice surprise none the less.
After the tour of Devon Corporation, Mr Stone gave Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald a Pokénav each, after he gave them the Pokénav each he transferred all of their data from their Pokégear to their Pokénav, but also gave them all the add-ons for the Pokénav as well.
After Mr Stone gave them their gifts they had said thank you and then they were all taken upstairs to where his office is, and also where he son is currently.
Once they got to Mr Stone's office, Mr stone introduced everyone to his Son Steven, and Steven to everyone else as well, Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald were looking at all the different Stones and Fossils Mr Stone had on display and reading the information about them, this had caught the attention of Steven and he decided he was going to join in their group discussion as well, he also noticed that they all seemed to look at one particular stone as well which was a mega stone his father had found, so he went to them to explain what a mega stone is and what it can do, which captured their interest, Steven had also asked if they were going out on a journey yet, but they all had stated no, they were not allowed to journey until they were 16 years old, and they are now only 12 years old so they still have 4 years before they can journey, but they can capture pokemon and train in their home town as well, and them going on holiday as well each year for 1 – 2 months at a time, to different parts of the world, they stated that last year they had gone to Johto, the year before that they went to the Kingdom of Rota and of course this year they came to Hoenn and they know for next year they will be going to Sinnoh.
Steven, Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald all got along quite well even with the age gap, after learning more about each other, and finding out about the different stones he had in his own collection as well as what his father had, after all this it was lunch time, so the whole gang invited Mr Stone and Steven to join them for some food as well, which the accepted the invitation, so off they all went off to have some food, Delia and Amelia (Yellow) decided they were going to cook for everyone, and have a picnic and BBQ outside due to the weather being very nice, so whilst Delia and Amelia were cooking, Ash, Gary and Emerald decided to let out their pokemon to have some fun, Steven also noticed this and allowed his team out which shocked them but also amazed them, Steven also noticed that when Ash called out her pokemon several of them all just went up to her straight away, he noticed that her Poochyena and her houndour were standing guard and her two ralts had went straight up to her and curled into her, her Pichu was in the same place he always was which was on her shoulder, and her Riolu was sitting right next to her, considering the two ralts had taken up his normal place on her lap, Steven noticed as well that they all have all their pokemon on them, which was unusual, taking notice of his expression Professor Oak went up to Steven and explained to him, that he allows them to have all of their pokemon with them when on holiday due to the fact, he himself is with them and can help out as well, but also its good training for them in the long run, as they are learning to cater and care for many, not just a few, he explained that Ash's pokemon are all fiercely protective over her as well as loyal, and fun loving, Gary's pokemon are the pranksters of the group but also loyal and loveable, whilst emerald's pokemon are the calmest of the group, the ones that will split up fights and calm down the pokemon, but also loyal and fun loving.
Whilst professor Oak was explaining this to Steven he also took note of Ash's other pokemon, how her Pidgey and Spearow fly up in the air but also only a certain distant from Ash, how her Magikarp was in the lake nearby but in a way of her being able to see ash all the time, her Charmander is right next to her as well standing slightly behind her, and looking the most alert out of all of them, but he knew that wasn't the case, as he could tell all of the pokemon were alert, she also had an Igglybuff and Cleffa which was on one shoulder and the other on her head, her smeargle was slightly to the side by one of the trees but still in an area where he can see ash, her Elekid and Magby were close by to her as well, her Dratini which shocked him seeing as how rare they were, was curled up next to Ash's feet, her Eevee was also curled up at her feet just the opposite side of Dratini, her Hoppip was in the air near her head, her Rattata was near her Riolu, her horsea was also in the lake next to Magikarp keeping an eye out whilst her Deino was near the same tree her smeargle was at but slightly more closer to Ash, all in all, with all her pokemon, it was a very cute picture, and if he were a painter this would be something he would paint but instead just decided to take a picture instead.
After taking a couple of pictures, he had forwarded them onto her as well, as everyone else of the group as there were a few singular shots as well as group shots, after sending the pictures they all were sitting down eating, and talking and telling stories of their travels so far.
The group stayed in Rustboro for a week in total, as did Steven, Steven, Ash, Gary and Emerald could be seen together every day, training and just getting to know one another, on the last day of being in Rustboro, Steven pulled the guys separately, and gave them all gifts, for Ashlynn, he gave her a shiny Beldum, for Gary he gave him a Magnemite and for Emerald he gave her a Mawile, they all thanked him for the new pokemon, and promised to keep in touch.
After saying their goodbyes to Steven and Mr Stone the gang went off to the next town they were going to visit, they decided they were going to Slateport City, after Slateport they will go to Mauville City, then lavaridge town, and then finally Sootopolis City.
They decided they were only going to spend 3 days in Slateport City. The gang left Rustboro and headed to Slateport City, flying there, it would only take 2 hours so they should get their between 12 – 1pm.
The gang arrived at Slateport City around 12:30pm, and had some lunch then headed off to find a hotel to stay in for the next couple of days.
The gang found a hotel and also planned some activities to do; tomorrow they were going to the oceanic museum and the pokemon fan club, then the following day they are going to spend time in the market, the day after that will be travelling to Mauville City.
Today the gang decided they were just going to relax a little bit, but Ash also wanted to set up her training regime for her Beldum, so she went and done that.
She released Beldum from the pokéball, asked if it wanted a nickname which it had replied back stating it did not, then also preformed the Aura bond with it, after that she told the pokemon that the moves it will be learning were Iron Defense and Iron Head, which it accepted and started to work on them, Ashlynn knew that she would not be able to train him in many moves until he evolves into his next stage, but that does not matter since she can just increase other things like his speed, strength, ect ect.
After training for several hours it was due dinner time so she went back to the hotel and met up with everyone again and they went off to have some lunch then headed back to the hotel, to call it a night.
The next day, the gang got up at 9am, had breakfast in the hotel, before heading off to the Oceanic museum, they paid the charge and entered the museum, a friend of the professor Oak actually owns this place as well and he was hoping that he would bump into him whilst being here as it has been several years since he last saw him.
Professor Oak's friend name is Captain Stern. Captain Stern is a man that is very well known in Slateport City, due to him being an undersea explorer who also runs Stern's Shipyard and the Museum that they are currently visiting, but also worked on the ship S.S Tidal which runs in and out of Slateport city to Lilycove City.
The gang started to look around the Museum and had a look at all the different displays it had, whilst reading the descriptions of each display, most of the exhibits include models of the hoenn region as well as several cruise ships, such as the Royal Unova, the S.S Anne (AKA The St. Anne), the S.S Tidal, the S.S. Aqua, just to name a few, basically they have the models for each S.S ship that is out including ones that are shipwrecked like the S.S. Cactus.
After looking around the downstairs they went up stairs which was even more ships and the sort on display but also Professor Oak noticed that his friend was also upstairs as well, so he gathered the group together to go and say hello to his friend Captain Stern, they all introduced themselves to Captain Stern to which he said hello back to them, then greeted professor oak, they all decided that they would go out of the museum due to the time, and have a spot of lunch and of course invited Captain Stern with them as well which he accepted, after lunch the gang said goodbye to Captain stern as he had to go back to work and the gang was going to the pokemon fan club.
The gang arrived to the building where the Pokemon Fan Club is held and entered, Professor Oak had told them that one of the judges for the Pokemon Contests is the pokemon fan club owner and that his name is Mr. Sukizo.
Once they went into the building they were greeted by other trainers as well as Mr. Sukizo himself, they all sat down and chatted for a while, Ashlynn was asked if she had a favourite pokemon or pokemon type to which she replied back she did not, as all pokemon are her favourite and all types she loves she does not like one less than the other, they also asked what she wanted to do when she was able to go on her pokemon journey, she stated that she was going to go in both pokemon contests and pokemon league due to both being appealing to her, she has decided she will raise some pokemon as battlers some as contest pokemon and some as both, which means she will also have a variety in her pokemon.
Mr. Sukizo was impressed by her outlook, as most people either choose one or the other never both due to the animosity between both people whom do gym battles and leagues and pokemon contest.
Ashlynn stated that she did not mind doing both and that its only a different way to battle anyhow, and sometimes you can teach a person who does league battles something new from a contest point of view but also vice versa, which means will increase her chance of do combos that no one else has thought of being which could be used in both contests and battle situations.
After being in the pokemon fan club for several hours the gang decided to call it a day and head back to the hotel they were staying at and have food there, then to head up to one of the hotel rooms to relax and play some card games, before calling it a night.
The next day the gang decided they were going to the Pokemon Mart as they hard items on sale for cheaper than normal pokemon marts as this one was much bigger than others and each stall sold different items, so they all went to the different stalls and browsed, there was a stall that sold pokemon dolls, a stall that sold incense, a stall that sold TM's, a stall that was called the Energy Guru , as well as a gem / stone store.
Ashlynn had gone to each store and had bought pretty much one of everything, she had bought the three dolls that you could buy at the pokemon dolls stall, which were a Marill doll a Skitty doll and a Azurill doll, she bought one each of the incense as well, knowing that they will be helpful in the future as well for her journey, from the stall that was named the energy guru she bought 2 of each one's they had so 2 calcium, 2 Protein, 2 Iron, 2 Zinc, 2 Carbos and 2 HP UP, from the gem / stone store she had bought 12 of each of the following, a water gem, a fire gem, a grass gem a electric gem, a ice gem, a fighting gem, a poison gem, a ground gem, a bug gem, a physic gem, a rock gem, a ghost gem, a dragon gem, a dark gem, a steel gem, a normal gem and a fairy gem, for the stones she had bought some of the more uncommon ones like 2 moon stones, 2 dusk stones, 2 dawn stones, 2 shiny stones and 2 sun stones.
Once the gang had gotten all their supplies they went off to find a place to have some lunch before going to train their pokemon for the afternoon.
Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald had found an area which was quiet but also father away from other people so if they got noisy training it would not disturb anyone else, and they let out their pokemon and started with their training, whilst they themselves train as well, doing some jogging around the area as well as some other fitness training.
Once the gang had done several hours of training it was time for them to meet up with their parents to have some Dinner before heading to bed for the night as they are up early tomorrow as they are going to be flying to Mauville City for 2 – 3 days.
The next day, the gang got up around 7am, had breakfast and set straight off to get to Mauville City, flying there via the pokemon will take at least 4 hours so they would get there around 11am, they will then find a hotel to stay at, then they will get some Lunch.
The adults were looking forward going to Mauville City due to being a game corner where they could spend some time, but also plenty of other things and markets the kids can go to as well.
The gang arrived at Mauville City around 11am and decided they were just going to stay in the pokemon centre for the 2 nights before heading off to the next place, after having food Ash, Gary and Emerald went to look around the city and took some money with them encase they found anything in the markets stalls they wanted to buy whilst the adults went to the game corner, to win some prices, the adults noticed that if they could get enough credits they could surprise their children with new pokemon, they noticed that the first window had the pokemon Abra, Horsea and Vulpix, the second window had the pokemon Porygon, Dratini, Scyther and Pinsir, whilst the third window held items as well as tm's.
Several hours into the game corner the adults had quite a bit of luck and ended up winning over 20,000 credits each which meant they had enough to buy some of the prices and surprise their children with gifts, Delia and Red had bought 3 vulpix's, Yellow and blue had bought 3 Pinsir's, Green and Silver had bought 3 Scythers and Professor Oak had bought 3 porygon's Delia and red had also bought 3 Hyper beam's TM's for the children as well, so off they went in search of their children which they found them in the food courts, the adults quickly then joined them, before realising the time and getting some food their before going to the pokemon centre and giving the gifts to them.
Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald were very happy with their gifts and had thanked everyone loads.
Ash had let the pokemon out quickly and bonded them with her aura and then asked if they wanted nicknames, which only Vulpix and Scyther did, so she decided the nickname for her Vulpix would be Kurama, and the nickname for Scyther would be blade.
After giving them their nicknames she set up their training regime, the moves they each were going to learn were the following: -
Kurama (Vulpix) – Covet, endure, foul play, heat wave, iron tail and pain split.
Porygon – Electro web, endure, gravity, icy wind, magic coat and magnet rise.
Pinsir – Bind, bug bite, endure, focus punch, iron defense and knock off.
Blade (Scyther) – Bug bite, endure, knock off, snore, tailwind and cut.
After she had done all that it was time for bed, as tomorrow they will be training all day before the next day they will be leaving.
The gang had all woken up at 9am, had breakfast and then set off to an area near the pokemon centre to train their pokemon, and to also introduce their knew pokemon to their older ones, all of their pokemon got along well and greeted the new comers warmly and made them feel welcomed, after that, it was straight into training, running laps or swimming in some of their cases, testing their physic capabilities like how long they can hold up certain items up in the air that was heavy such as big stones / boulders, increasing power of their moves and increasing their stamina as well.
Several hours they trained for with only taken breaks for lunch and dinner before it was time to call it quits for the night to go to bed as for tomorrow they will be heading off to Lavaridge Town, for a nice relaxing time.
The next day the gang woke up at 9am, had breakfast before setting off to Lavaridge town, flying there would only take 2 hours, so they had time to get into a hotel which they had found one near the actual hot springs, and booked themselves in for 3 nights before they were going to Sootopolis City.
For the next few days the gang was just going to relax and maybe train a bit, so they were just going to spend some time in the hot springs and the sand beds, both pokemon and people enjoyed their relaxation holiday in Lavaridge town, the gang had also met Flannery and her grandfather, who they learnt that was the gym leader and Flannery herself was in training of becoming a gym leader as well herself to take over her grandfathers position when he retires but won't be for a few more years yet, Flannery was closer to Ashlynn, Gary's and Emeralds age only being 15 years old currently which was 3 years their senior, they all seemed to get along really well and hung out every day they were in Lavaridge town, whilst her grandfather got along with professor oak and the other adults of the group.
After several days of being in Lavaridge town it was time to move onto Sootopolis City, just before leaving Flannery had given, Ash, Gary and Emerald her contact details so they can stay in touch over the years, she also asked if and when they return to Hoenn they should come visit her as well which Ash stated that when she is able to go on her pokemon journey she will be visiting all the regions so she will definitely be coming to Hoenn again and she will meet up with her when she comes back, she then wished Flannery luck with becoming a Gym Leader and stated she knew she could do it.
After saying goodbye then to Flannery and her grandfather Mr Moore they headed off to Sootopolis City. Flying there from Lavaridge town will take 4 hours in total, the gang had left at 10am, so flying there they will arrive at 2pm, so the gang decided after two they will stop have some lunch before continuing on with the journey.
Once the gang arrived in Sootopolis City they headed to a hotel to see if they had rooms available to book for them for the week they were staying here for, whilst at Sootopolis they were going to meet up with Juan who was a friend of Ash's, Gary's and Emeralds Parents, but also they were going to train some more and also Juan is going to be telling them the story of Hoenn's Legends, Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza.
After booking into the hotel, they decided they were just going to train for a few hours before having some Dinner and then head to bed, before going to meet up with Juan tomorrow.
The next day, the gang woke up around 8am, and was meeting up with Juan at 8:30, they were going to be with him pretty much all day today, when the adults had spoke to him yesterday Juan had stated he had a friend of his with him as well, someone whom he mentored but is now also the gym leader of Sootopolis City Gym
At 8:30 the guys met up with Juan and his friend whom they found out was Wallace, had breakfast together, after eating the gang with Juan and Wallace decided to allow their pokemon out and due to being near water as well Ash was able to allow her Magikarp out which when Juan and Wallace saw her was in awe due to the fact it was a shiny Magikarp.
Juan was off talking to the adults whilst Wallace approached, Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald, when he approached them, he was shocked at how well trained all of their pokemon looked, and the fact they were all very protective over their trainers, when he got closer, he said hello to them all, and curious to know how they had their pokemon trained so well, when they weren't trainers yet, Ash stated it was because since they were 5 years old, all they have done was study and trained with their pokemon, and that even increased as the years went back, to include self defense, learning and training in aura, looking after pokemon, capturing and battling pokemon and training pokemon.
Wallace was very impressed with this, and stated so, he also stated that not alot of people their age had their drive, and that he can see them all going very far.
Wallace decided he was going to sit with the gang for the rest of the day and get to know them as they intrigued him, so he went and joined them and they all started to talk to one another.
Wallace found out that he got along with the group very easily, he noticed that Gary mainly wanted to be a pokemon battler and maybe in the future a professor, Emerald was into just capturing pokemon, and raising them rather than competing in tournaments whilst Ashlynn herself wants to compete in tournaments and contests, but wouldn't actually start the contests until she journeys around Hoenn, but she also stated that she will still train pokemon in contests battling and appealing before going to Hoenn region.
He was impressed by how well thought out and prepared she was.
Wallace was amused by how at peace Ashlynn seemed to be when surrounded by her pokemon, and he did mean literally surrounded by her pokemon, she was lying down, in the sun, and pretty much every pokemon she had on her where either on her somehow or next to her touching a part of her skin, and the pokemon such as Magikarp that couldn't be close by was as close as they can be by her without actually being out of the water, Wallace and Gary was sat on each side of Ashlynn whilst Emerald was sat next to Gary.
Wallace and the gang talked for several hours whilst the adults were talking as well, he had also commented to Ash that he could see that all of her pokemon absolutely adored and loved her, which she stated back saying that she also absolutely adored and loved her pokemon as well, to her their weren't just pokemon, tools to be used in a battle, they were her friends and family, and as such she treated them like that as well, which helped the bonds she had with each one be even more spectacular than most trainers, she also stated due to the fact she's adept in using aura as well she is able to perform aura bonds with her pokemon which allows her to communicate with them telepathically as well as sense their emotions whilst they can sense hers but also if she doesn't have all of her pokemon on her, she can still communicate with them no matter the distance so they are always with her no matter what, which impressed and surprised Wallace, Gary and Emerald commented that they can also do aura bonds after training with Ashlynn for many years in aura once she had started her training, although she had a year above them training wise, so she was able to help them learn things as well which helped them progress quicker than doing it on one's own.
For the next couple of days, Wallace, Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald got to know one another whilst the adults were just talking about different discoveries; Wallace had also introduced them to his pokemon, which Ash and the rest were excited to see and meet his pokemon, the pokemon Wallace had on him were the following: Luvdisc, Sealeo, Seaking, Whiscash, Milotic, Wailmer, Tentacool, lombre, Gyarados, Carvanha, Swampert and Starmie, which was the max amount of pokemon he was allowed to carry due to being an elite trainer, also due to being a Gym leader.
Ash and the rest of the gang allowed their pokemon out as well which ended up mingling with the each other as well as including Wallace's pokemon to join in with their games.
Ash and the rest of the gang were just talking and relaxing whilst watching their pokemon play and fool around, Wallace was also amazed at how quickly his pokemon became relaxed around the others as well. Whilst the pokemon were playing Ash was looking at Wallace's Milotic, she hasn't seen a pokemon that holds that much grace and beauty before and was amazed by it, Wallace noticing her looking at his Milotic decided to tell her all about his pokemon, how he had him and how long he has had him in his team, he also stated to her that his Milotic was his most precious pokemon as well, as he has had him the longest, Milotic also noticing Ash looking at him, decided he would come over to her as well to say hello, Ash smiled and decided she would give him some attention and affection which Milotic liked alot and nuzzled her like he does to Wallace, which made Wallace surprised but also smile.
Whilst Ash was fussing over Wallace's Milotic, Wallace was thinking about giving her a gift at seeing how strong her bonds are with her pokemon, he also thought about giving the other two some gifts as well, but he won't give them to them until they day before they leave to head back home to Kanto.
The next day, the adults decided that they were going to join in with the children, and have fun, due to the fact it was now towards the end of their week they were staying, so the gang decided to do a massive picnic, which included food for all of their pokemon, Wallace and Juan were sad to hear they were to leave tomorrow but the whole gang decided they would keep in touch with one another.
After having food and clearing up, Wallace decided to make an announcement thanking Ashlynn, Gary and Emerald for becoming friends with him and allowing him to meet their pokemon and join their group even if it was just for the week, which Ashlynn stated was not as they were definitely going to keep in touch with him as they were now friends which made Wallace happy as well and gave the girls hugs and Gary a man's hug, after hugging them, Wallace then stated that he had a gift for each of them, first he went up to Ash, and gave her a pokéball, he stated that in this pokéball is a pokemon that once fully evolves becomes like my most treasured pokemon, Ash getting the hint went wide eyed and thanked him and promised him she'd always love the pokemon no matter what, which made Wallace smile, next he went to Gary and also gave him a pokéball, he said that this pokemon is a fun type of pokemon especially when it fully evolves, it is a duel water and grass type called Lotad, after Gary thanked Wallace he went to Emerald and gave her a pokéball as well, stating that in this pokéball it was a pokemon that once evolves gains the duel typing of Physic and water, whilst the pokemon can be found more commonly in Kanto he believes this pokemon is suited to her and told her it is a Staryu, Emerald also thanked Wallace and gave him a hug.
Ash and the gang decided they were going to let out their knew pokemon straight away to bond with them, Ash's was first and she noticed it was a fish like pokemon like her Magikarp, Ash scanned the pokemon and noticed it was called a Feebas and gender was a Female, she then went up to the pokemon and introduced herself to her, asking if it was okay if she could perform an aura bond as well as if she wanted a nickname, Feebas was shocked but quickly agreed to both suggestions and so Feebas going the nickname Venus after the goddess of love and beauty in Roman mythology, Feebas loved the nickname and showed her approval by jumped into Ash's arms in an attempt to hug her which made ash giggle and hugged her as well, whilst Ash was bonding with her new pokemon Gary and Emerald was doing the same thing, Gary found out his new Lotad is a male, but didn't want a nickname and Emerald's Staryu did not have a gender and also didn't want a nickname.
Whilst the children were greeting and bonding with their new pokemon the adults were watching with smiles on their faces knowing that all three will go far when their journey finally starts.
The next day, the gang were all up at 9am decided to have one final meal with Wallace and Juan before heading off to catch their boat back home, after having breakfast and getting their stuff together they said their goodbyes to Wallace and Juan, but also reaffirming what they said yesterday about keeping in contact due to having their numbers Wallace gave Ash and Emerald a hug to say bye as well as Gary a man hug, they then joined their parents and hopped onto the pokemon they were flying on to reach where the airport was to head home, waving goodbye to Wallace and Juan as they took off.
The gang arrived at the ship port 4 hours later and their boat wasn't due to leave for another two hours so they checked themselves in, then decided to wait in the boarding area, 2 hours later and they started to board for a long journey back home.
3 days later the gang arrived back in Kanto, in Vermillion City, the adults quickly took out their flying pokemon and off the headed to Pallet Town.
A couple of hours later the gang arrived and headed to professor Oak's lab, to drop off their pokemon other than the ones that stay with them in their houses such as Thor, Amaterasu , and Riolu.
The next day Ash decided she would set up training for Venus, and the moves she would like her to learn where the following:
Endure, Icy wind, Snore, Water Pulse, Toxic and Hail.
Once she set up her training, Venus got to work on practising the first move, and learning that one before moving on to the next one and so forth and then finally going back to master them properly this went on for several months.
