*Disclaimer: Don't own Pokemon...

Despite both of them not being in a battle for a while they both still put up a good fight. Ethan was using his team that was in the league finals. His dad used his team that was with him during his time being a part of the elite four in the Hoenn region. In the end, they both had just one Pokemon left.

"Come on Infernape you can do this!" shouted Ethan.

"Blaziken lets finish this off!" his dad yelled.

"Infernape Aerial Ace."

"Dodge Blaziken and then use Sky Uppercut." The Aerial Ace hit but Blaziken landed the Sky Uppercut too.

"Repeated Mach Punch then follow up with Blaze Kick."

"Dodge the punches and counter with Brick Break." Infernape missed the punches but still followed up with Blaze Kick. Blaziken and Infernape were struggling to keep each other from winning. After countless moves both Pokemon were exhausted.

"Blaziken activate Blaze!" Ethan's dad yelled.

"Swords dance!" Ethan yelled out too. Infernape's attack rose.

"Earthquake Blaziken"

"Jump in the air and use Aerial Ace."

"Counter with Blaze Kick." Both Pokemon did as followed and clashed each other. In the end, Blaziken's ability made Blaze Kick too strong for Infernape, therefore, Ethan losing the match.

"Aww man. I really wanted to win." Ethan whispered.

"It's ok Ethan you have some serious potential. That's probably why you made it to the finals of the Sinnoh League" his dad answered.

"Thanks, Dad. I'll get back up there again." Ethan's dad looked at his Pokegear and screamed.

"HOLY SHIT ITS 11:30!"

"Good thing I packed up yesterday," Ethan replied.

"Come on we have to get your stuff and go."

"I have to return my Pokemon to the professor. Can you bring my presents and my luggage to the airport?"

"Ok just be quick." Ethan's dad flew on his Flygon to the house to get his stuff ASAP. Ethan ran to the Pokemon center to give his Pokemon back to Rowan.

"Hey, Professor is it ok if you can heal up my Pokemon and give me back Riolu?" Ethan asked while panting.

"Sure. Are you sending all of them back?" Rowan replied.

"Yes except for Staraptor. I need him because my flight is in half an hour and I need to get there ASAP. I also want to get my team from Johto and have them there with me."

"Ok send them here. And your Riolu is in good condition. Take care, Ethan."

"Thanks, professor and I'll send Staraptor to Professor Elm. Then he can send Staraptor to you."

"Ok bye Ethan." Ethan flew on Staraptor to the airport in the Fight Area. By the time he got there it was 11:50 and he met up with his dad in the check-in lobby.

"Here's your stuff Ethan. I also got your ticket ready for ya" his dad told him.

"Thanks, Dad. I'll see you soon I promise."

"Take care son. Say hi to Jimmy for me."

"Ok, I will. By the way Dad, what's in the bag?"

"It's your presents now hurry and don't miss your flight." They waved goodbye and Ethan ran through the airport. It didn't surprise him that security was taking their time.

"Hey is it ok if you can take me to gate C-14?" he asked one of the security officers.

"When are they leaving?" the officer asked.

"In five minutes."

"Well get on the cart and hold on." After the officer took Ethan to his gate he heard a last call warning from the attendant.

"WAIT UP! I STILL NEED TO BOARD!" Ethan yelled.

"You made it just in time. Now hurry up and take a seat once you get on the plane." Ethan couldn't believe his luck. Even though he lost the battle he was still having a good day. He put his luggage on the overhead pass and took his seat and began to relax.

Ethan really wanted to see his other family. His dad moved to the Sinnoh region bringing him to Sinnoh. They ended up living in the resort area in the northeast part of Sinnoh. After staying in Sinnoh for a couple years on a journey, he was able to finally see his mother after a few years.

(Author's Note)

Despite what I said earlier, I'm gonna post the first 10 chapters and see how people progress on the story so far.

I promise it will get better and the plot will show more. Just let me get more into the story. If I drag this out too much, tell me. It would help.

Anyways, have a great day ~ Bad Luck Andrew
