Ch.16: El Pachuco

It was a bit after midday in Lumiouse and the streets were filled with humans and Pokemon alike. A young raven haired boy with a Pikachu on his shoulder was in the mist high stepped his way through the crowd and towards professor Sycamore's lab. Though that didn't exactly mean he remembered where it was.

Paul, Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont lagged behind, following Ash as he cheerfully made his way through the streets.

"Why is he acting like that?" Serena finally said after the group had been in a dazed silence since they left the airport.

Nobody had an answer for her which seemed to annoy her more, "May just leaves and it's like he just forgot about her."

"Maybe this is his way of dealing with it" Clemont mentioned raising a weak finger.

"Well, it's stupid" Serana responded. She then took one last, hard look at Ash, "I'm going to sayy something."

And with that, Serena began to take after Ash. But Serena was soon stopped in her tracks,

"What are you doing, stupid." Paul said.

"…Stupid!?"

"What do you expect him to do, mope around? Just let him get over it and he'll soon be his old dumbass self." Paul said without stopping.

Serena looked at Paul in confusion, "Yeah, but still, I expect him to feel something…" Serena said as Ash continued to walk farther away.

"After seeing how close those two are, you don't think he would forget her" Clemont looked up ahead at Ash, "he's probably upset inside and he just doesn't want to seem weak."

"But he knows we won't think he's weak" Bonnie said.

Paul looked at Bonnie before responding, "Maybe it's not us that he's worried about."


Ash, by some sort of miracle, found the lab. The large building definitely took up a lot of space, with the main living quarters, lab, and Pokemon garden.

Ash walked straight up to the front door, with the others still behind.

"Professor Sycamore!" Ash said loudly as he rang the doorbell. Ash waited for an answer, but none came. Ash rang the doorbell a few more times while shouting the professors' name. Nothing.

The rest of the group soon caught up while Ash waited for the professor to answer,

"Professor Sycamore!" Ash called out once again at the top of his lungs.

"Maybe he's not here." Right as Clemont finished, the two large wooden doors slowly opened up, revealing Sycamore,

"Good afternoon" he said while sporting a huge grin, "nice to see you all again."

"Good afternoon professor, we were in town and we thought we would come by here" Ash said.

"That's great" Sycamore then stepped aside, "c-come in."

The group entered the lab at Sycamore's welcome and made themselves at home.

Paul on the other hand though was not as comfy. His senses became even more alert as he stepped into the building. The same large wooden staircase led to the second floor, the same many pictures that adorned the walls; it was all the same.

"Professor Sycamore, how is Gabite doing?" Ash began, "is he behaving? How much training have you gotten in?"

"Gabite is doing just fine Ash, no need to worry."

"Can I see him?"

"Um…" began Sycamore uncertain as he slightly tilted his head.

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing" he quickly responded, "Of course you can see Gabite."

Sycamore turned 180 degrees, "follow me." The group followed as he led them at a leisurely pace.

"Professor Sycamore, I really want to show you how well Fenekin and I are getting along" Serena said as she took out her Pokeball.

"That's wonderful Serena. It's always a pleasure to see a trainer and Pokemon getting along" Sycamore said without looking back. Sycamore stopped at the entrance of his Pokemon garden.

"So is Gabite there?" Ash asked excitedly.

Sycamore only nodded. Ash took a step towards the entrance. But he was quickly stopped but Paul's outstretched arm.

"Paul?"

The dark eyed trainer looked right at Sycamore before both of their gazes met; Sycamore's eyes quickly darted to the right and back again.

"Shit" Paul quickly grabbed a Pokeball and tossed above the group. At the same, as if out of the shadows, three figures appeared on the 2nd floor of the building, two on either side.

"Protect" shouted Paul. Three different attacks came from three different directions and would have hit the group if it wasn't for the protective barrier that appeared just then.

"Vi-vi-llon" from above, Vivillon protected the group. But the attacks wouldn't stop.

"Get ready" Paul said, "Vivillon won't hold much longer." Everybody nodded and took their pokeballs out. Bonnie stayed close to his brother while Ash and Serena prepared to make a quick move.

The protective barrier began to show cracks and Vivillon began to tire out. Paul recognized flamethrower as one of the attacks. Before he could have a chance to figure out what the others out before Vivillon's protect gave out.

Everybody jumped and evaded the attacks with a few grunts and a yelp.

Pikachu was the first to take an offensive stance, "Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu quickly fired at the second level of the hallway and tore through it, leaving a gaping hole. The attacks ceased and everybody held their breath.

"Now now now, let's not get carried away" echoed a voice that sent chills down Paul's and Ash's spine, "we wouldn't want to ruin such a beautiful place."

Professor sycamore then felt something grab him from behinds and he was pulled into the Pokemon garden away from everybody else.

"Sycamore" Ash called out. They quickly ran after him into the garden.

At the other side of the garden stood a figure that was familiar to Ash and Paul,

"It is you" Ash said out loud with fists clenched.

A crooked smile appeared on his face "hello boys, nice to see you again. Though doesn't look like you're happy to see me."

Next to the man stood a Throh that held a grimacing Sycamore in its large hand.

"Paul, I thought they took these guys away?" Ash said.

"Well, they obviously got away, somehow." Paul then redirected his attention toward the man in front of them, "I'm guessing you're here for the mega stones."

"Smart boy." the man then held up a suitcase, "Safe and sound, just where they belong."

During that exchange the other 3 theives entered the room and blocked the exit and surrounded the group with their Pokemon.

Clemont and Serena quickly released Bunnelby and Fenekin in response. Paul went for another one of his pokeballs but Ash stopped him. Paul gave him an annoyed look.

"Look around you" Ash said through his teeth, "were not exactly in the greatest position."

Paul took note, and unfortunately Ash was right. Sycamore was ready to get torn to pieces. Paul knew Clemont could probably hold his ground, but he doubted Serena could do the same.

Paul pulled his pokeball down, "what exactly do you want."

Paul and Ash got a better look this time of the thieves they faced last time. The one in front of them was a lean looking guy with dark eyes. The three around them included a stout looking guy with grey eyes. The other was big and had broad shoulders. And the other one was a lanky looking guy.

"Actually, we were just planning on taking a few extra Pokemon when we heard somebody arriving" a small smile than creeped onto his face, "but todays our lucky day. We have a score to settle."

Ash then became visibly worried, "where's Gabite and Garchomp!?"

"Don't worry Ash" began Sycamore weakly, "I got them out of here."

"Yeah, unfortunately the professor got rid of all of the worthwhile Pokemon, but we got what we came for." The group prepared for the worst, but it quickly became apparent not everybody had arrived to the party,

"Orale" an unknown voice echoed through the garden, "locos, what the hell is taking you forever."

Somebody else appeared from the trees. He walked deliberately towards the others and stood next to the lead thief.

"Are you getting held back by these pinche' squares" he said while tilting his head.

"Excuse me?" Serena responded.

"I don't know what he said, but I feel like I should be offended" followed Clemont.

"Not at all" replied the lead thief, "it's just that two of the ones you see here are the ones from the ship."

"Is that so" he replied with his hands deep in his pockets. He then walked forward towards Ash and Paul, "I'm guessing it's these two. The ones that look like they have some big canicas."

As he advanced onto the others, he spit out the toothpick that he was biting on. He came closer and closer to Ash before he was stopped by a sparking and growling Pikachu,

"Don't worry picudo, I won't hurt your friend here." He then looked at Ash with his head tilted up.

"Who are you?" Was the first thing that came out of Ash's mouth.

"Me?" he slowly reached for the brim of his hat, "I am the most pachucote de todos los Pachucos. You get me?"

Ash and Paul sweat dropped. "Not a bit" Ash responded.

"Well, that can't be helped. Just consider me a friend. Can we be friends?"

"Not a chance."

El Pachuco smiled, showing his white teeth, "well, that's a shame. Expected, but a crying shame. Just call me El Pachuco."

He began to walk away, but was stopped when Ash asked, "why are you doing this?"

He turned around to face them once again, "Just to make living chavo. These suits don't buy themselves."

El Pachuco posed holding both sides of his black coat. His high black pants and black shoes made his red collared shirt prominent; His clothes were spotless, not a single speck of dust or a wrinkle could be found.

He then quickly turned back around and slowly walked away, but before he did, he got a quick glance of Paul. Without turning, he addressed the purple haired boy.

"Is that the other vato from the ship?" He asked without turning around.

"…Yes"

El Pachuco smiled to himself, once again showing his white teeth. He walked back next to the lead thief who noticed the strange smile, and it didn't sit right with him.

El Pachuco turned around and looked straight through Paul, "I'll make you all a deal. I'll battle that one." El Pachuco pointed towards Paul. "If you win, we'll leave all of you and the professor alone. If not, I'll let these locos have their way with you."

"Don't do it Paul" Serena spoke up, "there's no honor among thieves."

"Orale ruca, that hurt. I know plenty of thieves that are honarble like…me." He turned back to Paul "is that your huisa or what?"

"Or what" replied Paul, not exactly knowing what a 'huisa' was. "Deal."

Ash looked at Paul. He returned the look,

"I know what I'm doing."


El Pachuco stood at around the same height as Ash and Paul. He also seemed to be younger than the other thieves; he was maybe a few years older than Ash and Paul. His red entire red shirt and suspenders could now be seen as one of thieves held his coat. A Bisharp stood in front of him, ready at his command.

The thieves had the only exit blocked, and Ash and the others dared not make a risky move…Not yet anyway. This one would be left up to Paul.

Paul looked straight ahead, right at Bisharp and El Pachuco who had the brim of his hat covering his eyes.

"Electivire, stand by for battle." In a flash of light, a yellow and black stripped appeared onto the field. Paul kept his usual poker face and waited patiently as he examined the situation. El Pachuco didn't move a muscle either, which irked Paul. He finally decided to make the first move.

"Thunderblot, now." Electivire charged up for a split second before letting loose powerful lighting strike.

"Bisharp, show them how you feel about their pinche' thunderbolt." Bisharp crossed its arms forward and they began to glow a bright white. The lightining strike hit Bisharo head on, but the attack failed.

"What happened?" Serena asked confused.

"Bisharp must have used Metal Claw to shut down Thunderbolt" Clemont said as a bead of sweat appeared around his forehead. "That's not good. Without its electric attacks, Electivire is battling at half power."

"Don't worry about it too much though" Ash said, causing Clemont to turn and look at him curiously, "it'll take much more than that too shut him down."

"Switch it up" Electivire obeyed and quickly stopped its attack and charged, "Brick Break."

"I see, that's why." A grin then appeared across El Pachuco's face,

"Sucker Punch." The next thing that anyone could process was that Bisharp suddenly had met Electivire midfield, a hand in the gut of the Thunderbolt Pokemon. Electivire soon doubled over and ended up on it knees as Bisharp jumped back, as if its job was finished.

Everybody went eye wide, including Paul, "Dammit, what was that? That's not a normal Sucker Punch."

"Electivire, get up" Paul demanded. Electivire staggered to its feet at its trainers call.

"Thunderpuch let's go." Electivire quickly found a rhythm again and charged Bisharp with a new vigor and both arms covered in electricity.

"Iron Head, quickly" said El Pachuco calmly. Bisharp met Electivire head on both attacks collided. Bisharp was pushed back,

"Keep going!" Electivire continued the attack without a hitch and hit Bisharp square in the chest, sending the steel type flying back to El Pachuco's side.

"Brick Break, don't stop." Electivire soon became relentless in its attacks as it came after its opponent once again.

"Tch, que gacho. Bisharp, esenalos como lanzar chingazos." The Sword Blade Pokemon quickly responded and met Electivire's Brick Break with one of its of equal power. Both attacks canceled out and both Pokemon retreated back,

"Thunder." Electivire didn't hesitate sent out its strongest electric attack yet.

"Bisharp, again." Bisharp once again stopped elecdtivire's electric attack with Metal Claw, but Paul quickly countered,

` "Now, into the ground." Electivire stopped its attack for a split second before digging its two tails into the ground and sent an electric charge into the earth.

The ground began to crumble and a ton of debri was sent fying in all directions. Everybody near the battle field quickly put up their arms in defense.

"Bisharp vamanos, Iron Head." Bisharp smashed into the wall of the falling debri head first, searching for something big and yellow to hit.

"Electivire, Brick Break!" Electivire quickly responded and the two Pokemon soon found themselves closing in on each other.

Electivire was barreling at full speed, but that would soon mean the end for it,

"Sucker Punch." Bisharp completely stopped its momentum as Electivire closed in for an attack. Bisharp then sent a single, almost invisible punch into the gut of Electivire. Electivire's Brick Break was mere centimeters of Bisharps head before it completely failed. Electivire crumpled onto the floor in a heap.

"Impossible, there's no way. How could they execute such a move, at that speed and situation." Clemont could only thing of one more thing, "who is this guy?"


"Ches-pin, Chespin?" A small brown and green Pokemon popped out from under a couch in the professor's lab. It made a few notes of the surrounding area and began walking around aimlessly, unsure about what happened and anything else really.

The Pokemon followed whatever led it and slowly made its way to the garden before a loud sound echoed throughout the whole building, causing it to jump.

"Ches-pin?"


A gold chain looped all the way from El Pachuco's belt, almost to his shoes and back up again to his pocket. He slowly took out a small golden clock from his pocket which was connected to said chain.

"Chale man, where does the time go" he said to himself, "well there's nothing wrong with being fashionably late." He then began to walk away from everybody and stopped near the lead thief,

"Give them the work. I'll get everything ready to go" El Pachuco then slapped the lead thief on the shoulder, "and stop being so tense all the time ese."

"Easy for you to say. Your power is fucking scary."

He then released a Seismetoad from its Pokeball and had it take Sycamore from Throh.

"Bisharp, make sure not to let those chavitos get past you." He then walked off slowly, soon out of sight.

All at once, the thieves began to close in with their respective Pokemon,

"Looks like we're going to have to fight our way out" Ash said as everybody stayed on high alert.

"We can't let them take the professor"Celmont said as Bunnelby began to face off against an Octillery.

"We're on it, Pikcahu Quick Attack, after the professor." Pikachu took a quick hop step and started forward but he was met by a metallic foot and was sent flying backwards.

"Pikachu!" Ash called after his partner. "Dammit, how are gonna get by that Bisharp."

"Houndoom, Flamethrower" called out the stout thief.

Serena stammered for a second before countering with Fennekin's own Flamethrower. Both attacks collided, but Fennekin was easily over powered and the Fox Pokemon was decisively taken out.

The Houndoom slowly began to advanced onto Serena, but a bright flash of light appeared between them,

"Bay-leef!" Cried the Leaf Pokemon forcefully, casuing Houndoom to take a step back.

"Bayleef, help out Serena" Ash then quickly turned back to his situation, "Pikachu Quick Attack and Iron Tail!"

"Pika!" Pikachu attacked fiercely, but Bisharp was unfazed. It matched Pikachu Pikachu's combo attack with Metal Claw.

"Throh, Stone Edge." Throh responded by sending a multitude of stones at an airbone Vivillon stuck using gust.

` "Vi-vi-llon!" Cried the scale Pokemon as it fell out of the sky. Paul grounded his teeth while returning Vivillon and quickly sent out Torterra.

"Torterra, Leaf-" Paul was cut off when Torterra was hit on its blind side. An attack from above. Paul looked up and saw a dammed flying Totempole.

"Dammit, where not getting anywhere." Paul rarely lost concentration in battle. This time it would cost him as he didn't notice Throh come straight at Torterra with an Ice Punch at the ready.

Torterra was about to take an Ice Punch to the face, but red blur came flying in and stopped Throh's attack in its tracks.

"Blaziken?" Well, technically it was Mega Blaziken. Which could only mean…

"Looks like you could use some help." Paul turned to his side and found Blaziken mask.

"Mey-mmm" Paul was cut off by Mey-I mean Blaziken mask's hand.

"Are you trying to blow my secret identity" Meyer said through his teeth.

Paul grabbed Meyer's arm and ripped it away, "it's on my to do list." The masked crusader's eyes narrowed.

"Blaziken Mask?" Ash noticed the new figure in the fight. "Quickly, there's no time. Sycamore is in trouble."

"What he said. Their trying to take Sycamore and the mega stones. They went over there." Paul pointed towards where the Pachuco headed off towards.

Meyer nodded and took off besides Mega Blaziken to take care of business, leaving the others top hold off the rest.


"I guess el jefe was right. I should always read. The damn. Instructions." El Pachuco was messing around with an infernal remote that would not work.

El Pachuco then froze in place as he heard something land a few yards away. He turned and was met by a masked man.

"What do we have here?" El Pachuco shifted his body into a relaxed stance, "Quite the get up."

"I could say same thing. Aren't those pants a bit big?"

"Chale hombro, don't talk about my tacuche like that. I could say the same thing about your cape."

"Very true" Blaziken Mask then noticed professor Sycamore being carried by a Seismetoad.

"If you don't mind" he began, "I would like to take the professor back to his lab."

"This one?" El Pachuco glanced at Sycamore and glanced back, "I'm sorry, this one is taken. I'm sure there are more professors around here you can pick from." He turned back but froze once again when he heard something else land near him, something stronger.

"I'm not asking" Meyer began as El Pachuco turned around, "let the professor go."

"Let me guess" Began a grinning Pachuco, "that's a Mega Blaziken." El Pachuco tilted his head a up and stood silently. He then whistled towards Seismitoad and nodded towards the Mega Pokemon. Seismetoad laid Sycamore down and took its battling position.

"Blaziken, High Jump Kick." Blaziken closed in with blinding speed and sent reckless knee into Seismetoad. The Vibration Pokemon could only reacted by putting its large arms in front of it to protect itself. Seimistoad was sent sliding back a distance before standing firm on the ground once again.

"Scald, vamonos!" Seismitoad fired hot boiling water at Blaziken but the Blaze Pokemon quickly evaded the attack.

"Beautiful, I haven't had this much fun in a while."


"Bunnelby, use Doubleslap" Clemont ordered. Bunnlby obliged and charged Octillery.

"Grab it!" Called out the stout thief. Octillery stretched its tentacles outwards and caught Bunnelby in a death grip.

"Bunnel-byyy!" Octillery began to squeeze and Bunnelby began to cry in pain.

"No, come on Clemont, think, think" but nothing came, except for quick footed Chespin from out of nowhere, tackling Octillery and freeing Bunnelby.

Clemont looked on in surprise as Chespin pose triumphantly. But unbeknownst to the Spiny Nut Pokemon, a seething Octillary stood behind it.

"Chespin watch out" Clemont warned. "Chespin turned and quickly shrunk.

"Bunnelby, Mudshot." Bunnelby soon returned the favored and nailed Octillery in the side. Chespin breathed a sigh of relief, but the new duo wasn't done yet.

"Octilery, Octazooka!" Octillery quickly fired a powerful blast of ink from its mouth at the two Pokemon.

"Chespin, Pin Missle, Bunnelby, Mudshot." Chespin was surprised at first by the sudden command but quickly obliged and fired a multitude of green projectiles. Both attacks collided and exploded, providing a cover of smoke.

"Bunnelby go!" Bunnelby did not hesitate as it used the cover to get close to an unsuspecting Octillery. After one slap downwards and a second one upwards, Octillery fell, unable to fire its stinky octazooka anymore.

"Bunnel-by" cheered the rabbit like Pokemon.

"Ches-pin-Ches" posed Chespin triumphantly once again, causing Celmont and Bunnelby to sweat drop.

"Great job you two, especially you Chespin."

"Ches-Pin" the Spiky Nut Pokemon rubbed the back of its head sheeplishly.

"Pikachu, Electro Ball" Ash swung his arm down and Pikachu flung the ball of electricity at Bisharp. Once again, Bisharp was unfazed and deflected the Electro Ball which continued on an odd course and curved right at a certain airhead Chespin.

"Watch out!"

"Ches-PIN!" A wide eyed Chesppin was met by a Pika powered Electro Ball and was sent flying to who knows where.


"Blaziken, High Jump Kick."

Another toothy smile appeared and this time it meant trouble. Blaziken closed in once again in no time flat and sent a knee right into Seismitoad. The toad like Pokemon absorbed the attack and this time stood its ground.

"Poison Jab" called out El Pachuco. Meyer went eye wide and tried to get Blaziken to retreat. But there would be no dodging here. Blaziken payed the full price as Seismitoad punched Blaziken right in the chest and sent the Blaze Pokemon staggering back.

"Blaziken, are you alright?"

"Bla" Blaziken managed at first. "Zi- Ken!" cried the Blaze Pokemon in pain as poison began to course through its body.

"How do you like Seismitoad's Poison touch. This is what happens when you touch a Pachuco unwanted." he then pushed his hat upwards, "show this cabron the door, Mud Bomb."

Seismitoad got gathered itself and began to form a la large mud ball in its mouth.

"Chessssss-piiiiiin." An airborne Chespin appeared out of nowhere and came right at Seismitoad.

Unable to process what they were seeing, both stared absentmindly before chespin pulled out its vines and smashed them into seismitoad.

"Blaziken, High Jump Kick." Meyer realized the situation and quickly took advantage. Even with the poison, Blaziken made a quick move and sent a one more knee into a dazed Seismitoad. Three High Jump Kicks proved to be its limit as it fell to the ground.

El Pachuco stood with his hands deep in his pockets as if he were in deep thought. He slowly took out his golden clock from his pockets and looked at it.

"Now we're getting past the point of being fashionably late." El Pachuco quickly made his way to Sycamore and threw him towards Blaziken who had taken a knee. Sycamore stumbled into Blazikens arms.

Meyer ran up to both and asked them if they were okay, both were in bad shape, but they nodded. Meyer looked up once again and saw that El Pachuco had disappeared.


"Pikachu, Electro Ball again."

"Pika-Pika-Pika" Pikachu launched another ball of electricity at Bisharp, but this had a different spin and it landed right in front of Bisharp, forcing the steel type to hold its ground.

"Volt Tackle!" Pikachu went right after Bisharp with no regards for safety and slammed into it, and took the Sword Blade Pokemon out of the picture.

"Great!" Ash then turned to look at Paul who has having a bit of trouble, "well I'm done, what's taking you so long."

"Dumbass, I'm fighting two of them. Don't talk to me."

"And I took out the scary Bisharp."

Paul called out another command before responding, "are you going to just stand there and pat yourself on the back?"

"Pikachu…Iron Tail" Ash said reluctantly. Unfortunately for Xatu, it didn't see the airborne Pikachu and got a hard steel tail to the side.

"Well damn, this isn't going to well. And the other one from the ship isn't even here either." The lead thief thought about what to do next. His answer came from.

A whistle echoed through the garden and everybody looked up,

"Orale locos, don't tell me these chavitos are giving you the work." A ladder suddenly dropped down from a white aircraft that had a sleek look to it and a gold colored streak went around the air craft. The thieves quickly ran to the ladder and began to climb.

"This one doesn't pay for itself either." El Pachuco was looking down on everybody else from the top of the aircraft.

"I hope you have insurance. Torterra, Hyper Beam."Torterra began to form a Hyper Beam.

"You want insurance vato, I'll show some insurance. Vamonos, Braviary, Brave Bird." A Braviary appeared in a flash of light.

Torterra fired a powerful beam of energy which Braiviary soon intercepted with a reckless diving attack. Hyper Beam engulfed Braviary and an explosion ensued.

"Is he crazy. There's no way Braviary could make it through that attack." This only made Clemont's disbelief more obvious, when Braviary came crashing down onto Torterra, causing Paul's strongest Pokemon to cry in pain. Braviary shook of the recoil as it flew back to its El Pachuco's side.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

"Pi-Ka-Chuu!"

"Heat Wave." Braviary quickly countered Pikachu's attack by flapping its wings rapidly to produce a hot blast of wind.

El Pachuco then proceeded to return Bisharp. He then took of his hat and gave a small bow.

"What a great time chavitos, la neta, but this is where we must part. May our paths cross again. But until then, dispensa.

With that, El Pachuco entered the aircraft and it sped off, leaving a huge hole in the building, but all in a days work.

Everybody followed the aircraft as it became smaller and smaller until it became nothing more than a spec.

Ash and Paul were left behind seething,

"Thatn cocky, good for nothing…gah!" was all Ash could spit out.

"Dammed clown, next time I see that Pachuco he's dead" Paul seemed more aggravated then usual.


"I'm really sorry to have put you all through that. I apologize." Sycamore bowed down in front of the group.

"Come on Professor, there's no need for that" Ash said with a grin, "you needed our help. We would do it again." Everybody nodded in agreement and the professor fely instantly better…until he felt somebody punch him in the arm, hard!

"Next time" began an annoyed Paul, "just say something so I don't have to read your every movement. Plus, these moron can't be trusted notice any detail about anything."

"Hey!"

Ash quickly went back to professor, "thanks for making sure Gabite would be okay."

"No problem Ash. I always protect Pokemon under my care. You want to see Gabite?"

"Of course."

While Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie argued towards Paul in the living room, Sycamore led Ash so that they could get Gabite, Garchomp, and the other Pokemon he sent away during the incident.

"They still got away with the mega stones" Ash said with serious look.

"Yeah, that's unfortunate" Sycamore responded, "but as long as everybody is okay, that's the only thing that matters. And with any luck, we'll soon have another mega stone to research.

"Yeah. Still." Ash still couldn't get his mind off it.


"Well professor, it's time for us to go." The day had come and gone. The sun was begging to set.

"Thank you all once again. I'm indebted to you."

"No worries, were not gonna be collecting any payements from you" Ash said with a smile.

"Now wait. If you're offering I'm taking" Paul popped in.

"Hey Paul, how about you go and be a jerk somewhere else."

"…alright, bye."

"Hey wait a minute. I din't say we were done." Ash followed.

"You told me to leave, dumbass." Everybody sweat dropped as the two went again.

"Clemont look!" Bonnie pointed towards the bushes on the lab's front lawn.

"Ches-pin."

"Hey Chespin, you were a great help back there. Thank you very much. We would all be in big trouble if it weren't for you." Clemont began to walk, but Chespin cried out.

"What's wrong Chespin?"

"I think Chespin wants to go with you Clemont." Sycamore said with a smile.

"Chespin, is that true?"

"Ches-Pin-Ches" cried the Spiny Nut Pokemon affirmentaley.

"Here Clemont" Sycamore pulled out a Pokeball and handed it to Clemont, "this is Chespin's Pokeball. I'm sure you will take good care of it."

"Are you sure?"

Sycamore nodded, "if that is what Chespin wants."

Clemont walked up to Chespin and returned it to its Pokeball,

"Yes, today is a great day thanks to science, I got a Chespin!"

"Chespin is a keeper too!" Added Bonnie.

Clemont bowed towards Sycamore and ran off with Serena and Bonnie to their next destination.
