Chap.5: Battle and the day off

Next morning

7:30 am. Ash just woke up. Took a bath and went outside then he heard a door opening and saw that it was May.

"Good morning May!" Ash said to the girl.

"Good morning!" The girl replied with a kiss on his cheek."Hey Ash, No offence. But why did you wake up very early."

"I am always early May. How about you why are you so early?" He asked as he put his arm around her neck.

"I couldn't sleep. And shall we eat breakfast?" She said as she also wrapped her arms on his waist.

"Sure!"

Two hours later

"Hey there you two are!" Dawn exclaimed.

"We were just talking about you guys." May exclaimed back.

"Okay. So Ash, when will the battle start against you and Cynthia?" Max asked.

"In about 45 minutes Max." He replied at the young trainer.

"Well, you should get going cause of the people there." Max responded, while fixing his glasses.

"Oh yeah, I forgot see ya guys!" Ash said as he walked out and gave a peck at May's cheek.

At the battle

(I skipped the introducing part)

"This will be a 3 on 3 tag battle are both trainers ready?" The referee asked the nodded and took out their pokeballs. "Begin battle."

"Garchomp, Spiritomb and Milotic, Battle position!" Cynthia shouted.

"Charizard, Blastoise and Venosaur, I choose you!" Ash exclaimed.

"Whoah when did Ash get all three starters?" Max asked Brock.

"He got it when we were at Kanto. But I didn't think that Squirtle and Bulbasaur would evolve." Brock explained.

"Wow!"

"Okay, Garchomp rock tomb on Charizard. Sprirtomb shadow ball on Blastoise, and Milotic use ice beam on Venosaur!" Cynthia said.

"Venosaur Frenzy plant to protect them." Ash commanded. "Now Blastoise ice beam on Garchomp then, Charizard dragon breath on Spritomb!"

The attacks collided but was stopped by frenzy plant. And the Ice beam caught Garchomp off guarded and froze it's wings. And spiritomb got the critical hit of dragon breath.

"Okay use hyper Spiritomb, on Venosaur. Milotic use hydro pump on Charizard."

"Not so fast. Charizard dodge the ice beam and use Overheat on the water. Venosaur solar beam when Milotic gets out. Then Blastoise hydro pump on Spiritomb."

Sprirtomb's hyper beam dealt with Blastoise's hydro pump but it was easily overpowered by and with that hit. It made Spiritomb faint. The overheat of Charizard forced Milotic out of the water. And at that time the solar beam got fully powered and hit Milotic which also made it faint.

'Ash has gotten stronger than I thought, very strong. He defeated both of my Pokemons with less than 3 minutes' Cynthia thought. Cynthia snapped out of it when ash made his final move.

"Venosaur use solar beam once more!" Ash commanded.

"Garchomp is unable to battle. The winner is Ash Ketchum of pallet town!" The referee said in a strong voice. "Ash Ketchum will now advance to the final match of the tournament. When the crowd heard that, they were shock. Even Ash's friends were shocked. Then the crowd went wild. After the battle Ash was headed to the hotel, but was chased by fans, on his way in. When he finally got in he was greeted by a huge hug from May.

"Congratulations Ash." May said.

"Thanks May!" Ash replied with a warming smile.

"Since you are now going to the finals. Can we have a day at the beach?" May asked.

'Oh no she's using her puppy dog eyes.' Ash thought. "Alright we could I guess."

"Yay!" May exclaimed. "But wait. When was the last time you went to the beach?"

"Well to be honest I think last year when I trained." He replied at the girl.

"Oh that's okay that's no big problem." She assured him.

Next day

"Come on boys we'll be late." Dawn yelled at them.

"Coming, coming, sheesh!" Gary said. "We're already there we just need to find a spot."

After changing to their swimwear

"Boys!" May shouted at them.

"Coming, Max how can you live with her?" Ash whispered at him.

"What was that?" May asked him angrily.

"Nothing, nothing." Ash assured her while kissing her cheek. "Are you going swimming?" Ash looked at her with curiosity.

"Nope." She said while looking at him.

"What? But you were the one who asked us to go swimming!"

"Nope I asked you if we could go to the beach."

"Very well." Ash replied while getting ready to splash water at her.

"Don't you dare Ash Ket-" May then got splashed by Ash before she could finish her sentence. "Get back here you freak!" May screamed at him, while trying to catch him.

Ash was going to dodge her by swimming but he got caught. And she tried to drown him by pushing him under water. When she finished she was going back to shore, she got pulled and dragged to deeper water and Ash tickled her until she couldn't breathe, so he carried her out of the water and threw her back in the water. When she finally got back to the shore she coughed water, then she just fell and lay still on the sand. Ash ran to her and tried to push her chest.

"May! May!" Ash shouted.

"Hahahahaha! You should have seen the look on your face! It was priceless!" May laughed at him. And Ash was sitting banging his head on his palm.

"Okay I admit it. It was quite fun." Ash said. "Now it's time to go back to the hotel."

"Okay I did have a great time."

At the hotel

"Hey guys." Dawn said. "What took you so long at the beach?"

"Well, let's just say that I made Ash a laughing stock." May said as she took the seat beside Ash.

"Okay, so as we all know Ash is going to the finals and do you know who you're up against?" Max asked Ash.

"Who?" He replied.

"Takuto." Max said. Ash was silent for a while. "He also took down Wallace the Champion, Lance the dragon master and Blue the champion of Kanto, but he beat all using only one Pokemon….Darkrai!"

Ash was surprised to know that the trainer he met was a legendary Pokemon user.

"Seems like you'll have to use all of your best Pokemons." Brock suggested.

"Okay, but now I have to sleep, good night guys, night May."Ash said as he kissed her.

"Night." May replied and also kissed him.

" Eww get a room!" Dawn shouted at them.

"Ahhh shut up Dawn. I already have a room." He shouted back while he walked to his room.

"Well we better get some sleep since Gary is gonna buy a pink dress." Brock said laughing at him.

THANKS R&R!
