RECAP
So, she decided to say it with aura only, What, he has been sleeping with me, from the first day of meeting, even though, at that time, I didn't knew that I am a female pokemon, BUT that doesn't change my habits, for some time. sshe barked at them. So to get no more scolding, they gone to their place of sleeping.
Now, Pikachu gone there and laid closely parallel to her. She then turned the body and then immediately fall in asleep. Perhaps, due to a long and heavy day, compared to others. Pikachu still admiring the lady Princess, which was sleeping with him. Then he thought of one last thing before going to sleep, she looks totally cute in her sleep. and then he also marched to his boastfully sleep.
It was a blissful night, having everyone gone to their dreamworld, where imaginations came true, came the morning true world. The sun was just started to rise up from the east, making blueish from the blueish from the top. The sun was surrounded by a thin strip of red, which intermixed with orange with yellow, making the scenery memorable.
The first pokemon to wake was a dodrio. It jumped up to a high cliff and roosted out as an natural alarm clock. But the effect was very minimal. Only some pokemons woke up and went through their usual jobs. And rest of them was just busy in their slumber, just didn't want to end it, anytime.
After a few hours or so, when it was somewhere 8'o clock in the day, Diana woke up first, which was something unusual, paradox for her and yawned, taking the light breeze in the air. Slowly followed by her, woke other parties in her group.
"Wow! Ash... I mean Diana, you woke up", said the small yellow rodent as he woke up after her. He was little surprised as usual he need to zap her, to get her up! The others also rubbed their eyes and looked in surprise, only Brock and Misty, as others were not habituated with her.
" Yeah", she replied, stretching her hands in the extremes as a result of reflex, feeling the light flow of air. She couldn't understand, why he said like that, even Brock and Misty were staring at her.
"No, I thought, you would snooze till the noon, when the temperature will be very high, or if someone unrelentingly wake you up", he said, easily drawing, what she would ask why. At the middle part, he just laughed up, controlling the intensity of it. This was the first time after their meet, that he didn't need to shock her to wake her up.
Then Aunt Lucario, Uncle Blaziken and cousin Riolu were also seen at the spot and witnessed the little conversation out there. There were her Latios and Latias also, attended at the spot. Caroline little giggled at the topic with was been in conversation and asked, " Is she so sleepy always?" to Pikachu, knowing that he would know the full web of it.
"Yeah, from the day one, when we met each other, I had to thundershock her, to wake her, being like a living alarm clock for her", he replied. Showing how much stress, he need to take, for just to wake her. Now, as he finished his statement, the relative trio, laughed out loud, minus Laurence as he was trying best to not dismay daughter like Diana. Some teardrops also came for the amusement. It was so funny for them that they had to put their hands on the stomach area, to reduce the pain while laughing.
As a result, she reddened due to embarrassment, caused by the little rodent. Even her human friends started to laugh, without even knowing the reason. She clenched her palm into a fist with high danger emotions, developing in her,
"PIKACHU", she yelled at him, while facing. She looked dangerous scary at her anger point, with flames burning around her, and even into her eyes. Everybody, then and there, stopped in the middle of their amusement for the tight air pressure created and looked straight to her. At one glance, Latios stepped back from the site. He had formed a sweat drop, near his forehead, for the radiation of her anger, becoming fearing for him.
Better not to make angry her!
She stepped forward towards her Pikachu and said, "PIKACHU, YOU CUT THAT OFF OR I WILL CUT OFF YOUR SUPPLY OF KETCHUP FROM YOU", she raged at him. At this hearing, he immediately became frozen at that point. Ketchup was everything for him, and if she take that also away from him, he wouldn't have anything else favourite to eat. This also gave them another set of laugh to the others.
But, she just didn't cared about that and decided to change back to her human trainer disguise. She glowed her body and transformed into raven haired teenager boy. He then opened his eyes. Seeing little shocked expression from the relative trio.
"Now, I think, we should leave for our journey to Black thrown gym", he said to all of them. Making them clear about their destination. Everybody, at hearing this, stopped laughing and Pikachu turned to normal. But again, Pikachu urged, " Hey, what about my luxury ball!", to Ash.
In return, he simply frowned and replied, "for your own act, you are paying that money", and gone to his backpack, which was in Brock's tent. Again, Pikachu frozen at his place, towards Brock's tent's way. He couldn't believe, for just playing a simple joke, he just denied to buy a luxury ball and threatened him for his favourite ketchup! This wasn't fair.
Latios, Latias and other three mentally noted that to never annoy her or anything like that or else, he would cut their heads and throw them in the graveyard.
After a minute, when Ash came back with three pokeballs, all in semi red and white, meaning to be a normal ball. Brock, Misty, May and Max, all had packed up their equipments, just the tents were needed to be unfolded.
Ash reached to his relatives and asked, " Are you all ready?". Although he knew the answer, he wanted to be conformed. The trio, nodded their heads. "So, please tap the middle button and be a part of my team", he instructed them. They all adhere to that and was sucked into that ball.
" Yeah! I got three pokemons", Ash yelled with his famous victory sign, but it made just one difference, here wasn't any loyal Pikachu, that was always been seen. He felt the absence and started to look for him. It wasn't very hard, as he was just standing at one metre away from him, in his constant position.
The humans present there, watched him, but couldn't exactly make out, what had happened, so, they presumed that, Ash must have threatened him for something, at which, they all were right at the money.
Ash put them back at his belt, which had hooks for caring pokeballs. But, at this, Max little surprised, "Aren't those extra pokeballs, should be transported to your professor?". Yeah, it was a obvious question. Every pokemon, after a count of six, should be transported to their regional lab.
The others also raised their eyebrows, at this. Ash was quick to his answer and said, " I have already sent my other pokemons, back to Professor Oak's ranch with the help of my pokedex".
They they all finished all the clearing up of the place and well prepared. "Max, can you tell me, who much distance, do we have to cover from here to Blackthorn Gym?", Ash asked to him. So, he quickly searched for the distance between it and answered, "it is about 3 miles from here", with a weary eyes.
He didn't want to walk that much of distance at one go, but as he looked at the eon duo, he remembered, they can easily teleport there. But then again a question arouse, if he was asking them to teleport everyone, then, why would he be needing the distance calculation.
"OK then. We will walk half a distance first and rest. Then, we will walk the rest of the path by foot", he instructed to all of them. And immediately, everyone's face became weary like Max.
"But Ash, Latias can simply teleport us to the gym in no time", May urged to him. From the time, her bike was electrocuted by some offensive Electabazzes and Elekids, she had to walk a lot of distance by foot. And now she got tired of it. She was even relieved when she was teleported from one place to another with new friends, assuming, she didn't need to walk anymore, but now, every thought broken into pieces. Even others saw him with the same persuading eyes.
" Look May, I understand, but I can't let that happen. You see,", Ash then pointed to his legendary friends, " they are legendary pokemons. I can't just let them be in open outside. People will become jealous of me and will want to battle with me for them. And the second reason is this, if they use teleportation, it will consume a lot of power and will become inactive during battle.", he said in a deep concern voice and then turn towards the eons.
"So, it want you to rest properly, till I call you for battle", as he finished, he took out their two pokeballs and returned them to there. The then minimized it and put it in his pokebelt.
"So, are we all ready to go!", he exclaimed, more then sounding like a question. The others also faced him. They all felt ashamed of themselves for asking for a simple favour, which has no requirement to do. Especially Brock and Misty. They knew him for many months and close to a year or two. They knew, how caring, loving concerned about his pokemons. They something think, why does he have this kind of feeling, more than anyone, that hey ever met. Later the reason came out.
They all smiled at him and said, "Yeah Ash, we are ready to go", unison. For a last check, when they did, Ash found Pikachu in nowhere vicinity. As he looked little further, he found him, sill standing like a statue.
"Pikachu! We are ready to go to challenge our last gym for our eight badge", he yelled towards him, making him aware of his surroundings. At this, Pikachu's ears twitched. As soon as he heard that, everything about the challenge for Diana's heart remembered. Ow shit! How have I forgot about that! If I acted like this, then she would never accept me, even if I win the match. I have to be like my normal one for wining her love for me. But, as he came out of his dreamworld, he noticed, two Amber eyed boy was looking closely at him.
He skipped back for their sudden close distance. " Pikachu, are you alright or you are still angry with me", he asked. He blinked his eyes to register, what happened. "No no Ash, I...I am coming ", he stammered while saying. But Ash didn't noticed that and nodded.
And now, they all were ready to march down the road towards their final destination for the gym badge.
While they were walking towards the last gym, in the middle of their first half, May asked, " Ash", she turned her face towards him. In which, he also perked up his ears and replied, "yes", politely.
" I was wondering, why have you turned yourself into a male, when you know, you are just the opposite ", she said it in a low voice as they were in public and presuming, anyone can think bad of that. She also said thought, Atleast, it would omit some girls, heartbroken from you, bitterly alongside of her speech. For Ash, he knew, she or Max would definitely ask this question because it was genuine for a normal person to ask that.
" Well, my pokedex has been registered as in my current form and if I chance my form, then, it will be of no use and secondly, I have been in this disguise for years and it feels very normal for me", he replied his answers to her, which was also heard by Max.
But then suddenly, May got reminded of something, which she need to do, before Ash's gym began. She clenched her fist into tight as she was really feeling bad for giving Fighter to Ash, but she would be happy if he achieve, whatever he wanted from her, in this case, him!
Near to reach, half of their path
As they were nearing it, they all noticed a pokemon center. It was good by their charm, as they could rest properly and even better, they could book a room for privet discussion of their plan.
As they reached and entered from the automatic sliding door, Pikachu hopped down from his master's shoulder and ran towards the Nurse Joy's reception desk. And as usual, Brock fall in love at the first sight of the Joy. He ran faster then Pikachu and reached the table. Then he began which his same principals, "Ow Joy!", he as elated by holding Nurse Joy's hand. A thin strip of blush was also seen
" Joy of my life, please accept me and AAAA~", he was unfinished as his one ear was took hold on a severe firm grip by Misty like a cat got hold on a mouse, and dragged him away from the poor nurse. By that time, Ash and the others also reached the desk and saw the scene. They all had sweat drop formed near their foreheads.
After that, he gone to her desk and requested, "Nurse Joy, could you book", he paused and looked at the amount of people travelling with him and turned and said, " two room for us" to her. She smiled at him and said, "Yes, but for that, I need your Pokedex for registration", he asked her her signature polite for voice.
" OK", he replied, as he took out his Pokedex form the pocket of his jeans. Then he handed over it to her. "And if possible, please book some medium sized rooms us and our pokemons", he requested to her. She nodded and went back to her service. She took it and placed it in the computer and entered some commands. After she finished, a cling sound came out, which means, it was ready.
"Well set, your booking is accepted and here are your keys to the rooms room number, 324 and 325", she said and returned his Pokedex and have two keys to him.
Then he turned to the others and noticed, all of the others, including Pikachu was sitting in the sofa, with the Brock with his bulged out red ear. They all were waiting for Ash's arrival, especially May, as she a haa a more important task for him. So, became, while light jogging style and said, " Look, I got two room for our small stay. One for me and my pokemons and other for you all" simply, without even looking at ignited eyed friends, with anger in them, minus Pikachu as he was a pokemon.
"WHAT!", they all yelled at him, which made him fall comically. " You will stay in a single room and we all will stay in a room which will suffocate us", screamed Misty, ready to pounce on him which her infamous mallet.
"No no Misty! You are getting it wrong!", he protested and forced his palm to protect himself. She became silent and withdrawal her mallet from his face. He then took a sigh of relief. He stood up, dusted off his clothes and began then explain,
"Well Misty, what do you think, I am a fool. I have already chalked out everything before booking. And now, if you recall, what I had said, I had mentioned, me along with my pokemons, and that is, me along with my six pokemons, which I have", he paused. He took deep breaths as he was saying in a rough voice, which was very uncommon for him to use.
As they heard this, their all heads were down. Now, they could easily figure out, which was more suffocating. Then he resumed, " And secondly, I have booked medium sized rooms for us. So we should not have much problems as like you all described " and stared at all of them. Now, all of them had effectively closed their mouths.
After that, Ash called his Pikachu and were about to proceed to his room, leaving their key to Misty's hand, May stopped him by his hand. "Wait!", she called from the back. Ash felt the resistance and turned back and responded, " What?".
She took out a pokeballs from her belt, enlarged it and proposed, "Will you take my Gallade? Please", to him, keeping it in front of him. At this sudden request, he strangely sweat dropped. " But why?", was he only could say. He didn't know, how in the world, suddenly decided to give away a rare powerful pokemon.
Now, it had created a tension in her, as she wasn't prepared, what she should say to take him from her. She just mental formulated a sentence that he can't deny and said, "Well, as you see, Fighter isn't a performing pokemon. His power and aggressiveness is for fighting with opponents and gyms. So, the best person to suit is you", she explained.
Actually, in the last part, she double meaned her phrase. Indeed, he was a capable and a worthy trainer for him, but more, Ash in Gardevoir's form is best in the hands of her Gallade, from her point of view.
And Pikachu wasn't the densest pokemon out here and could easily make out the second meaning from it, also got remembered that the third player for their match was Fighter and he was in the ownership of May. He did told him and Latios that he would find a way to join in their bet, to win his love. So, he felt a urge of telling, not to own him, but then he would loose his loyalty from him, which was already threatened, due to his mischief act.
" But May, he is the strongest pokemon you have. If you train him well, I am sure, he will definitely play a key role in your performance, some day", he protested against her. It wasn't like he didn't had any interest in Fighter, but he didn't want her to loose him, just because, he can't perform well.
"I know that Ash and I tried my best, but it didn't happen, anyway", lied to him. She mentally cross-fingered and hoped that he wasn't reading her mind. She even tried her best to hide her feelings from outside and inside as she knew, he could even read anyone's emotions. She just want his last wish, in her ownership to be accomplished. It wasn't a small light wish, it was a life changing wish, which will change many one's lives.
She just looked into his eyes, begging to take him away from her with her pokeballs in front of her. Now Ash was tongue tiled, didn't had any word to counter it, so he pitifully agreed with her and asked, "OK, then, what pokemon, do you want from me?", to her. He became little sad as he need to give away a pokemon, he got or caught. Everyone was very close to his heart.
From the sideline, Max was the happiest one as for now, he wouldn't have to tolerate that useless pokemon. While, Misty and were confused at first, as why did May, suddenly decided to give Fighter to him. No, not in this sense, but of she wanted, she could have traded him earlier with someone else, right.
But then, they suddenly realize, the real form of Ash. So, May just wanted him and her to be into one and lead a happy life.
After a through thought, she said, " I don't have anything in particular, as I don't know, what pokemons, do you have, so, whatever you will give me, I will be fine with that.", to him normally. But in her heart, it was hard for her, to give away a beloved pokemon, even though, he didn't listen her her often, he wasn't bad from nature.
Ash then raced his mind to figure out, which pokemon will suit her the best. And came up with a decision. But for that, he need to sent one of his pokemons, back to the professor Oak's lab to take that pokemon here. And currently, he didn't have any pokemon, which he can switch out.
"Yeah, I have a pokemon, in my mind, but for that, I need to sent one of my pokemon back to the lab.", he stared to her.
But May didn't find anything wrong and asked, " So, what is the problem, you are facing?", innocently. Indeed, if he need to sent back a pokemon, what is the harm, he was going to make to them.
"The problem is, first, most of my pokemons are rare to this region and two of them are legendary. So, it will make him extremely intrigue and will do experiments. Second, my rival, Gary will get to know of my new catches, which will make him to find any counter for that, as he is the grandson of Professor Oak's.", he elaborated it to her.
She understood. That's why, Ash was having a hard time to figure out, what to do. But then, she thought of Pikachu. He wasn't a foreigner of Kanto. " So, what if, you sent Pikachu to Oak's lab and take your required pokemon. Then, again, after the trade, you may call him back" she unknowingly suggested him. But then she realized, if he again recalls Pikachu, Gallade, would have to go back to Professor Oak's lab.
Ash thought about that, he was also facing then same questions. So, he suggested to call Professor Oak with an excuse. So, he moved to the video calling room to call him. He dialed his number and heard the ringing. After a few seconds, an old man with white hair, scars in his face, which a face as if, thousand tons of weight have been giving him his hands to bear. He could also see, a much younger man was carrying tower of books, from here to there, sometime, getting slipped or skipped. But maintained his momentum. He knew, he was Tracey.
"Hello Professor", he said with a smile. He is always happy, when he called him for something or the other, even if it is weird. He could see, his expression changed to some irritation with some anger in it, but didn't let it to rule his face.
"Ash, it is good to see you but, why in the world have you sent your Bayleef to me here?", he looked at him with questioning eyes. But one thing he noticed, Bayleef wasn't behaving rash and aggressive like last time. She was being like a timid sad pokemon, as if she had lost her energetic mood, to do any work happily. Her other friends, Cindaquil and Totdile were trying hard to make her mind up to be in her own self. But she is not returning to her old childlike attitude.
"Actually, I caught some more pokemons, which are so new to trainers, that, if I sent them to you, they will definitely destroy everything there. They just somehow, they started to believe me. So, I need time to make them familier with everything. ", Ash said to him. Although, it was a true, it was also not false.
Samuel knew, he could do anything for his friends and his family. Even if it required his life of not. He sometime wonder, what made him so different from the others, even a pokemon professor cannot understand. He is so fluent in bonding with a pokemon, that no one in the earth can betray him, unless, they don't have a thing call, 'heart'.
" So, what made you to call here?", he simply asked after that. "I need some suggestions", Ash burry stated. He moved his eyes, left to right, finding no way to express it.
On the screen, Professor smiled. It wasn't rare for even Ash to have any query or doubt. " Then how can I help you?", he asked the pseudo boy. He in turn, rubbed his back of his head with a awkward laugh and said, "Professor, now you know, I have 5 that kind of pokemon and my Pikachu with me", at here, Pikachu little blushed.
He heard him saying 'his Pikachu', meaning, eventually, it will be her Pikachu and possible the mate she want. He now started to daydream about a day when they confesses each other and then make her love out from her love canal and lead a happy life.
"and now I have to trade a pokemon with one of my new friend, so you know, I can't sent none of my pokemon to lab to take the required pokemon. And this is my case", he conveyed his problem through the phone. Professor shook his head, multiple times and understood every bit of his word.
So, that's why, he called professor to gave him a solution for that. So he through for a minute. Several thoughts were running in his head. After that one minute, he got an idea, but, if he initiate that, then he would distinguish him with all other pokemon trainers in that region. But then a second thought came, He is already a special boy and pride of Pallet Town. I wish, if Gary could also learn something from him. He could say this from his own experience, when they often played together or they attended any summer camp. Gary always show offed, had a high ddignity care, but for Ash, he never did. Helped people and pokemon in any situation, friends or enemy, at the fullest he could. So, practically, he was different from others.
"I think, I can do something", Oak stated. Ash immediately looked up the screen with hope. He wasn't expecting any positive answer from him. But his proved him all wrong.
"I can increase your pokeballs caring capacity from six to twelve, if that is OK with you", he suggested with a smile. Ash's jaws downed. He never expected that to be be happen ever with anyone. He perfectly knew that any trainer of his class was wasn't allowed to carry more than six pokemons. But his became untrue for his case! His face lightened up with joy and excitement. Caring more pokemons was fun and exciting. He couldn't able to make out, what kind of training and enjoyment can he do with all of them.
"But", interpreted the researcher. This word, fall him from the heaven, like he was being stung by a beedril. Professor Oak gave him a compensative smile for his outcome after that.
"But what?", Ash said like he was begging from him. All in the good time, it didn't felt at all good.
"You can only use six pokemons maximum in an regular formal match, and that's it", the researcher of pallet town stated. Ash looked at him abruptly with widen eyes. Well, he had expected some more harder terms and conditions, he had to regulate, like he had to win certain rank or need to pay any additional fax to he pokemon league association.
" That's it...Really!", he was about to explode with joy, just needed his agreement. Thus, he gave a single nod, which conformed that. So he, from the lab, typed some commends in to his computer. After a few minutes or so, a cling tone was heard from Ash's Pokedex.
"It's all set, now tell me, what do you want to be transfered", he asked to the most loyal trainer from his graduation. It didn't took much time from his part to answer and said, " For now, I just want my Phanpy to be transfered.", Ash requested from him.
Professor Oak was gone, out of the screen and not seen for ten to thirty seconds. Then he came back and said, "Here it goes" and kept his pokeball at the pokeball transfer machine. As it stared, three to four thunder like lightening, hit the ball and made it glow and then vanished it from his existence.
In then pokemon center, in the transfer machine, attached by the video calling machine, produced the same thunder like structures, but this time, a pokeballs came on the top of a metallic plate. Ash then hold that pokeball in his hand and said, "I got him back", to him and showed it through the phone called.
"OK then, see you then at the pallet town", Oak said while he waved his hand in the air and then immediately, the screen went black.
He then moved away from there, now fully awakening Pikachu from his daydreaming, towards his friends. " Look, I got the pokemon, which I want to trade", he said to May, while everyone could listen to him. At that time, they became worried, as he told, he can't switch non of his new pokemon and they could also see Pikachu at his side. Then, which pokemon, he transfered?
"So, which pokemon, did you exchanged?", asked May. She was the most worried one as for her only, henhad to takemso much of harassment.
"Actually, professor increased my pokeball capacity from six to twelve", he replied reassuringly. He could easily read his emotions, without even using his powers even, it was so contrasting on her face.
"But, how can it be possible?", asked Max. He wanted to perceive the answer, as in near future, he will also going to be a pokemon trainer.
"Don't ask me 'cause I don't know, how it is happening", he protested byraising his both hands. Then he turned to May and said, "Now, we should go for our trade", and proceed towards the machine. Then May also took the path of him and followed his footsteps.
As everyone reached there, they found a middle aged man with brown haired, wearing a lab coat with spects in his eyes. " Hello trainers, welcome here. I guess, you all came here for trading your pokemons with each other?", he said while presuming them all to trade.
"No no, only I and May going to trade one pokemon", Ash answered his misconceive. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "So, you and your friend may come here and trade your pokemon" to them.
They then gone into their respective places and placed their pokeballs in the required places. "Ash, please take care of him. Even though, he never listened to me properly, I still care about him", she said, holding his left hand with both of her hands. Tears were also formed in her eyes. On the other hand, Ash said, " I will and please do care about my pokemon. He is new to the world and need to learn a lot of things, so please help him to achieve every goal in his life", he requested, while holding his left out hand on her hand. She nodded, trying to smile, but the agony in loosing a partner was more severe then getting a new pokemon.
Ash then looked at the machine operated and gave a nod, signaling, to start. Then, as he started, the two pokeballs were sucked in, showed in the monitor screen and came out. "Your pokemons are now perfectly switched out", the assistant said, after reading the report. " Well I must say, they bond that you have with your pokemons, made them the healthiest and most strongest of all the trainer's pokemon. It has been a while, I have seen that bond with a pokemon", he commented on them.
Both the trainers took their respective pokeballs from there. May was the first one to release, a small blue elephant like pokemon with red colour tiles on its back and trunk.
"Phanpy", said the pokemon. May bend down towards it and hugged it for the first time. Brock and Misty knew, which pokemon was that and they were happy and little astonished as he made a perfect decision. She then took out her Pokedex and said, "Phanpy, the Long Nose Pokémon. Phanpy uses its powerful snout to express affection. Not realizing its strength can send you flying."
She then immediately put it down and said, "From now onwards, I am your new trainer. Is that OK with you?" with smiling brightly. In return, it also have out a happy yell, agreeing with her.
"I think, now, we should go to our respective rooms and rest for a while", Ash suggested to them. They eagerly accepted and moved on to their rooms.
(in Ash's room)
Ash reached his room, closed the door from behind. Now, he was alone with Pikachu with him. No one can see or interpret his next move for the gym, because, he knows, walls have ears.
He took his seven pokeballs out from his belt and tossed up in the air. And immediately after that, seven pokemons, all of different species, materialized in front of him. Although, he boastfully said that he booked medium sized room, all after chalking out, actually, it just slipped out of his mouth, which accidentally got correct. So, he didn't show any regret to that.
It wasn't medium as he learnt from other pokemon centers, it was fairly large. Around ten pokemons, at the size of Latios can fit in there. There was even a double bed, may be King sized, according to Ash, a attached bathroom, along with some homely appliances.
The newly accommodated pokemons, looked here and there, the large room for the first time, except for one pokemon, Gallade. He looked towards the human boy, but didn't blushed asmhe was in his disguise. So, it didn't made any attraction fro him. He then kneed down at one leg, head towards the ground and said, "Thank You Princess Diana for releasing from the stifling pokeballs", with true gratitude.
"Please, don't call me with that name, while I am in my human male form. Call me Ash. And the second thing, talk plainly and normally with me. I don't like this kind of formal speech from one of my friend.", he replied him.
He felt little bitterness in him, for disobeying the princess, and now most importantly, his trainer. " I will try my best to be as normal, I can become with with,...Ash", he replied to him. He stammered in the end, as he was not able to figure out, what to name him.
After that, even Ash was looking like he had not also seen any room in his life. "Ash, you should keep us in that balls for so long time. It was suffocating for us", Aunt Lucario said to him. It wasn't the best, she experienced, but, it wasn't even enjoyable also.
"Sorry Lucario, but I can't take you out, like every time, as people will want you, even if your ownership is with me. So, I can only take you out at the prevalent times only", he said as soon as he realised, she was speaking to him, but made acquitted with everyone.
So, after that, the most excited and energetic one was Rio. He look every where, running here and there, jumping on the soft bed. "Wow Ash! It is so soft. I never felt softer like this anything in my life", he barked, while enjoying the bed for himself.
"Rio, don't do this. If anything happens, then I will have to pay extra for the damage", he scolded him, but not in a in a striding tone, but enough loud for him to listen and does not hurt his childlike heart.
Rio became little saddened. Now, unable to take fun from that soft surface, but was enough intelligent to under the situation.
"OK OK", he interjected, all of them, while clapping his hands twice. Then he said, "I called you all because, I want to discuss and decide, which three pokemons, I would going to use, in the Blackthorn Gym.", with a serious tone. He would definitely not going to loose, after having, so many gym challenges. Meanwhile, Gallade, Pikachu and Latios were giving eye signals to each other, for reminding their challenge.
Everyone then faced him like they were soldiers, and he was a commander of that army. He then also faced everybody. " But first", he turned to the relative trio and continued, "I want to know, what moves do you all know", he asked them. He wanted to make a prudent decision, before challenging the gym.
The first one to answer was the blaze pokemon, " I am at the top level, means, 100. I know all the moves, even TM, HM or whatever it is called, moves. I also know the moves, which others had to teach me. In total, I have a powerhouse of attacks", he said. Feeling proud for his possesses. All the hardworkings and practices, will be payed off today, if he chooses him.
The next was an aura pokemon, "Well, I am not as strong like your uncle, but I am near 94-95 level. I also know all the TM, HM moves, and all the moves, that I can learn. But, I need to master on earthquake, water pulse and giga drain moves", she said, not like her husband, of course, but contrary to him, she need to learn even more.
And lastly, but not the least, the emanation pokemon, " I am level, full fifty. I know al lot of attacks, like extreme speed, aura sphere, like, you have learnt, protect etc. But the best I like is bullet punch. Really, it's awesome ", he told him, along with his commentary on his own attacks. Really, it seems that, without Rio, Ash wwouldn't know, what is real enjoyment.
Now for Ash, he didn't understand anything. He was confused, what are HMs and TMs. He could only understand the 'level' properly as it was earlier in the Poketech school where Giselle first told him about his Pikachu's level. Other than that, everything gone out of his head. He never battled or got informations like that. He didn't understand the moves they told. It was so unfamiliar with him.
Then he turn towards his other three pokemons and asked, " And what about yours?", to them. He really hoped, he wouldn't get that kind of answer.
The answer was started by the blue eon pokemon, "OK, I am at level 90 with almost every kind of moves", at here, he was cut of by a small yellow rodent, " You mean, all the moves that you can learn or some moves of each type?", he said, while looking at him with the corner of his eyes.
At this, Latios almost dropped from his levitation. He glared at Pikachu and said, "Pikachu, I am just at level 90 and as far as I can learn at this level, I know. And for your second accusing, no pokemon in the Earth can do all type's attacks, even The Father", the eon said. He really the pang of anger in him, for asking such questions in accusing manner. And, with it, aroused a new question.
" Latios, Who is 'the father'?", Ash asked to him, somewhat confused. First he thought that, he was referring to his own father, but later, he realised that, he also used 'the' before 'father', meaning, he meant someone fatherly to him.
So, Latios looked at him, like he is so foolish that he doesn't know, who he referred to as father, every pokemon knows about him. But, he was an exception. He had spent his most of his life with humans, who gradually didn't know the truth. So, his question was rational. He sighed at him with weary face and said, "We all call Arceus as our father, the original one. He created this universe, living and non-living things, set emotions and feelings in us. So, all the pokemons, instead of calling 'Lord', we all call him 'father' as he like our father himself".
Ash jaws downed. He never knew, so many things, human didn't discovered from pokemons. And he now concluded, pokemons were much smarter than the humans.
"Now, you should continue to telling about yourself", he said to him. At which he nodded and continued, "Now, as I told, at 90 level, I am mastering on solar beam, brick brake and seismic toss. But I can fluently use, Luster Purge, MY signature move", he said, being cocky about himself. Latias immediately smacked him on his head for being this, in front of their friends.
Really bigger is not always better than smaller. Latios can now feel the throbbing head, at the place of her hit and can now not protest against it, knowing, he really didn't done any good job. The others just laughed at this brother-sister scenario. But Pikachu and Gallade didn't enjoyed much as they didn't had any signature move to impress him, and even if there is, they then definitely didn't mastered on it.
Then the turn came of the red eon dragon, " I am, not like my brother, but I have reached level 85. I have learnt a lot of moves, but unlike, I am defensive type, while my brother is an attacking type. I still need to learn a lot moves and I am trying my best, not to be a slowpork in between you all.", she said, unlike her brother, who thinks, the king of every pokemon, she constantly tries to do better than before, like our Ash.
And lastly, our contest winner, "Ash, I am at the level 98 and close to achieve 99 level. I have the ability, Steadfast. I also like other, knows a lot of moves, but my favorite ones are, psycho cut and brick break.", was all could the blade pokemon could say.
Now, Ash became aware of his pokemon party and have already selected his three pokemons for his battle.
" OK, I have selected, Blaziken, Gallade and Lucario for my battle", he announced his decision. At this the respective pokemons, jumped up with joy. Laurence was happy as he finally could use his power to defeat strong pokemons in the battle arena, Lucario was happy as she could now raise her levels and possible can learn new moves and for Gallade, he was a self explanatory. He knew, he had to fight in the gym to earn his love, but he never thought, he would have to compete none. And that means, he already won, without fighting.
Latios and Pikachu became visible shocked and their eyes became comically white. Now, that Ash chose the team, it will be hard for them to change in favour of themselves and they need to give it a try.
"Ash, why haven't you choose me", both Pikachu and Latios said simultaneously. They then looked at each other as they were rivaling with each other. Ash looked at them, but couldn't understand, why they were behaving like this.
But he answered, first looking at Pikachu, " Pikachu, I haven't choose you because, I thought, you were tired of battling with so many gyms and now, I could give you a rest. And secondly, you have the most experience of battling in a gym, let others have that experience also", while petting him on his head. He could feel his anger and sadness but he didn't let it out of him.
Then he looked up at Latios and said, "I haven't chose you because, you are a legendary pokemon. You already have so much of power, that you can easily defeat all the pokemons in that gym. So, I am thinking of using you, against one of my closest rival", he politely made him understand. But urges were there for him.
" Ash, I am not tired or whatever, you said. We are partners, we should battle every gyms and leagues together as a team. So, I am coming, desperate to your wishes. I realllly want to battle this last gym", he pleaded him his earnest reqgett. He didn't wanted to loose the chance of getting Diana for himself.
Ash was now little confused, he never saw his Pikachu to request to battle like this. Then came the another requester, "No Ash, please don't leave me. Even though, I am a legendary, I will lose my potential, if I don't battle with anyone. So, I also want to battle for the first time in the gym", he entreated him, while making his best puppy eyes, he could make.
Now, Ash was feeling his trouble. He didn't want a scope of loosing the last gym badge. But, now he realised, of he done that, he would neglect the most important aims of a pokemon trainer, he should let everyone to battle in the gym, that's how, they will learn, who to battle. He only choose his best pokemon to battle, and now, it seems, to be change.
"OK OK, you two are in", he said, and with it, invaded out a smile, by seeing the two happy pokemons, in front of him. But he didn't finished his speech, " And who do you want the third pokemon should be?", he asked them. He didn't want to make a second mistake, so, he let his own pokemon to decide.
Now, Blaziken was saddened, now he would not able to battle in the gym. Lucario was somewhat saddened like him, but, she didn't show any childish behavior like him. She simply sighed and waited for the decision to be revealed.
They both said the same name, together, in one word, "Gallade!". Now, he had conformed him team and again announced it, "So, after that pretty discuss, I have decided to change my team, so the new team members here are, Pikachu, Latios and Gallade. Do any one of us have any problem about this?", he asked everyone, while facing everyone.
Blaziken, who was sitting on the soft bed, wanted to raise his hands but he was pinched at his back of his hip by his wife. He looked at her and saw a stern face in it, which always means something serious. So, he didn't do it, which made his question to be unheard.
Ash, seeing that no one has any problem, he finalized it. Now, as he was about to pick his pokeballs to return everyone, Caroline stopped him, " Ash wait. I need to talk to you something alone, so you can return everyone except me", she asked to him. He nodded, really didn't know, what and why she need to talk about. So, he returned everyone, only one was left as exceptional, Pikachu. He told him to move to Misty's room and wait. So he did.
Now in the room, there was only Ash and Aunt Lucario. Everything was peaceful and calm. Silence was there in every layer of air. Until, it was broke by her, "Ash, new please turn into your original form and sit beside me. We need to have this talk, as soon as possible", she instructed it to her in a firm tone. When she become serious, she does all the work seriously.
Ash, didn't asked anything further and done as she told. He then morphed himself in his real form. As the light subdued, a Gardevoir was seen with a golden-yellow horn, coming out of her chest. She the sat beside her and waited for her to begin.
" So, do you have any idea, why I called you to talk alone with me?", she asked her in a deep voice. She first wanted to conform, if she have any idea of the topic, they were going to discuss.
While Diana simply nodded her head in sideways, meaning, she have no idea about the current topic for discussion.
After her response, she sadly sighed, while her eyes were closed. She then understand, making Diana, aware of that will be a much harder than she thought.
"I called you, as I want you to be mated by the end of this week", she simply spilled it out as she knew, taking the long cut, would not make any effect, as of telling her, in full straight.
As soon as she finished her sentence, her face was glowed in red. She looked at her with wide dining plated eyes. Till know, she couldn't believe, what she just asked, she want her to be get mated!
" What! No! I don't want to get mated by someone. I have no interest in it", she practically yelled at her. So, Lucario need to close her ears with her paws. It was seen that her blush, still haven't gone.
"But Dear", she said softly as she kept one of her paw, "If you don't get mated by this week, then..then..", she trailed off. Diana could clearly see, a sudden fear was embroidered on her face. She stared to shiver for the cold, she was receiving from her thoughts. She was even finding hard to express it her daughter like Diana.
Diana was about to ask what, but she continued, " or else, you will die out of pain in your abdominal part. You will find everything irritating and your mod will be always angry, when the mating period begin. In early days, you will find little irritating, but, it will grow into a bulk by the middle of the mating period. It will be so hard, that you would prefer to kill yourself, rather than get mated by someone. ", she briefly explained her. And by the end of her say, she also stared to feel shivery about it.
" But Aunt, I never felt something like before ", she asked her aunt. If it was so powerful and overwhelming, then why didn't she didn't felt before.
Lucario was quick to respond, " You idiot, you weren't matured back then, but now, you have", while she slightly pushed her little playfully. Then she also realised it and put her one hand at the back of her head and stick her tongue out a little. Really, at times, how she became numb!
"Aunt, how do you know about this. You said, you already mated at the beginning of this cycle", she again asked her a question. She wondered, how well she knew it, even without experiencing it.
She smiled at her, knowing, she is new to this topic and answered, " I have seen, one of my close friend, who was just like you, didn't want to be get mated. I don't know, why though but, she didn't wanted it to be happen with her", she said. She was then immersing herself into her memories, when they played, ate, and had a enjoyable time together. Diana also looked at her, with keen eyes.
Then again she continued, "When we matured enough to get mated, I clearly mentioned her, about my crush. But when I asked her, she said, she doesn't have and doesn't want to make. Eventually, when our period began, I had mated your uncle, but she, was going through pains, which was hardly describable. When we two used to suggest or soothe her, she always got nerved and attacked us with all her might. We knew, she wasn't doing that purposely, it was just her hormones were making her like that. So, we done all best possible things for her, to make her anger a lighter, but nothing worked", she again paused. Meanwhile, Diana fetched some water in a glass and asked her to drink it. As she finished, she continued,
" And, when it had reached in the middle, she couldn't able to tolerate anymore, so she", at this point, she started to tear up, "Killed herself, to get a relief from it", she then looked at Gardevoir's face and continued, "So, I don't want you to suffer in the same way. You are like my own daughter, that I never had. So I care about out. More over, you are not a normal Gardevoir like other. You have the royal genes in you, which need to be passed down to the next generation", she briefed her everything.
She then realised, who important it was. No one want to kill themselves like that, even knowing, you have something, which need to be passed. No never!
" But Aunt, I don't know..", here she was cut off, as the paw of her aunt, stick to the mouth. "I know that Diana and that's why, I am here. I will try to be as much as friendly and frank to be with you as possible. But for now, I need to teach you three basic things, you need to know before mating and I will tell you about the whole process of it.", she said to her.
Now, she became aware, she need to learn about everything, a pokemon goes through as everything will become handy in near future. She sit back straight, ears perked up, ready to take every word.
" First, I will tell you about the mating. It is in human term called, marriage, somewhat leniently expressed if. But it is much more than a marriage. It also means soul bonding, which can only be achieved by true love for each other. And ones mated, you can leave your mate or re-mate someone. Unlike to humans, then can marry, divorce and remarry.", she elaborated to her. She saw a somewhat shocked face.
"Aunt, how do you know, so well about humans and why we can divorce and remarry? ", she asked innocently. She herself heard about this things about humans, but she didn't knew, a pokemon, who never saw the outer world, would also be aware of this. Really, it's amazing.
Caroline took a long breath, as if another say story would be accompanying her and replied, " I know about this human culture, as...", then came a long silence. Nobody said anything. "as I was also used to be trained by a human", she stopped. Then again, she had tears, streaming down from her cheeks.
Now, Gardevoir was not going to let her pokemon to shed her tears in the cruel memory of Lucario, so she wiped out the tears of her cheeks and hugged her tightly. Diana would never do something like that never. They are also living beings, and not the things of been thrown.
" Thank you Diana, now I feel better", she muttered as she parted from her. Then nshe forced herself to smile and not think of old memories. And contrary to that, she instead thanked it. Knew, if that ever not happen, then she would not got her charming mate.
Then she answered her second question, "And for the answer of your second question, we do it, as it is our ritual, which we can never break ". At this, Gardevoir widens her eyes. She had no idea that even pokemons have rituals.
Then again, back to the topic, she returned," So, let's continue. The first step to mate, is to claim that pokemon ", she pointed. She raised one finger, up, from her paw, which she brought up to her side of her head. She then saw, Gardevoir to tilt her head, as if thousands of question marks are coming of it.
So, Aunt Lucario sighed. Teaching Gardevoir about some of the fundamental of a pokemon life, was wasn't so easy. She need to think of a way, to make her understand. Then she decided of giving her an example of, what she meant.
" So, if I give you an example, will you able to understand? ", she asked rationally. She knew, if a statement won't work, then a whole elaborated paragraph, would definitely work. She then thought about the story and about the characters, she could probably use. Then, an brilliant idea, strake out. And, if she use them, she would also able to expel, Diana's heart request. So, she nodded, unknowingly, what her aunt was planning.
" Ok, imagine, you love that Gallade very much", at here, Gardevoir completely blushed. Her whole white face became like her Latias's red wings. And immediately, unwantedly got pictures of her with Fighter, embracing her tightly with both of his hands, tucked her head, underneath his.
So, to erase all that kind of images, she violently shook her head to clear it. Aunt Lucario just looked at her scenes, she was making. She clearly hit a jackpot in that. And now, seeing in this state, she also got another chance of teasing her a little.
"Ahuuh! Looks like, you already claimed someone or if i say, I got one of your top secret, of the being, whom you love", said with a giggly face. She also nudged her a little at her left arm. Diana, if possible, would even blush more. But, why she was blushing for. If she thinks, she had fallen for him, then that is false. She is just embarrassed for the accusing.
" No! I don't love him", she raged at her aunt, who plugged her ears with her fingers. One thing, she now want to comment is, she very hotheaded, like her mother. She remembered, when they were kids, she also used to yell at her, when she ever made any mistake.
"Yes, you do. I can already see the picture in your heart", she commented and now, she was truly conformed, that she truly love him. But, she won't admit it. She is only obeying her brains, not her heart.
So, she hold her shoulders, with both of ar hands, much of Gardevoir's gasp, framed a strong determination on her face and said, "Look Diana, if you keep constantly regret your feelings, then, you will never feel happy from inside. So, it is always better to admit it has try to figure, how will you express that to him", she paused like, she had stomped on the ground with her strong foot.
While from Gardevoir, something else was happening in her brain, How can she think this. I am in love with Fighter. That is never possible. I am a trainer and he is my pokemon. But then, she didn't felt much right. Every time, when he come out from his pokeballs, and the way, he addressed her, she somewhat felt flutter in her heart, without knowing the reason.
She didn't know, why, when aunt Lucario pushed him, on top of her, they blushed so brightly. She, also for some reason, felt comfortable in his closeness. She need to figure it out, as soon as possible.
Then again, then aura pokemon continued, " I know this, because, I have also been through it. I was also like you, not sure, what I was need to doing to do. My brains, said that, I didn't had that kind of feeling in me and my heart, just the opposite. I always felt conflicted within me, not sure, what to do. Then finally, at the second step of the mating cycle, I understood myself and confessed. I was also lucky, that he had also loved me, or else, I would be nowhere in the Earth, in the loss of my love and the pain, which I would receive. ", she finished with a high with. She didn't wanted to think any further of possible effects, which, she would get. At this thought, she started to shiver.
The feeling pokemon looked at her aunt. She could feel, what miserable would happen, if she didn't made the right choice. She simply wanted to not follow the track, which she had followed.
Lucario, returning into normal,continued on her teaching, "So, now you understand. The next initial step is called Courting. It is the confession of two pokemons for each other. If they agree, then", at here, she was blushing in pinkish shade, little smiling, " you need to give a 'real' kiss to him", she completed, with full rred face. Perhaps, she was reminded of her own times. This situation was not at all different, in the case of Diana. The only difference, she had was, she didn't have any flashback.
Then again, the previous pictures arouse, desperate of being washed out, and now, she was facing him, still in embrace, he was also looking at him with tranquil eyes. He lessen their gap of their faces, until, it was merely a few centimeters away. His lips parted.
She didn't want this kind of feelings at all, not until her final gym badge. So, like before, she shook again, with a greater velocity, to rub every bit of it. And meanwhile her imagination, she was also getting some other kind of sensation, which she never had. She started to feel much warmer and as if, her awareness arouse.
Lucario was little confused as she was witnessing some weird actions from her. After each point of her speech, she was becoming, one time mindless and another time violent, if she desperately killing something. So,proceeding that, she continued, "So", she started, gaining Diana's attention, "After you done that, you and your 'that's partner will get some officiated marks, signifying, that you two are willing to stay together, however, it is temporary", she said. She with it, completed the explanation of second stage. However Diana had a question left to ask.
She understood it, without her any enquiry, with her aura. So, she replied, " It is temporary because, in-between the courting, they can think that they shouldn't be together as one, so, as they break off, it also disappears, signaling availability. ", she answered to her. She was also little shocked at first at getting her answer without questioning, then she understood, that, she must have used her Aura to read her mind.
Now, the third and the most vital part, they have reached. She, at this thought, reddened a bit. But she need to subdue it, to explain it to her. " OK, we have reached to the final part of the cycle. And this is the most important part, as the whole process depends on this. And I mind you, this is a very pervert part ", she paused, seeing, Diana gulping at this 'pervert' word. But, she need to tell her, it was her duty on her part as she doesn't have her parents to tell it.
" This phrase of the cycle is called mating. As you know. It is the process of, not just be together as one for permanent, it is also a bonding of the hearts. If your soul, heart and body doesn't bond, then, you two cannot be true mates for life. And the worst part is that, you can't then change also. So, you have to be very prudent about selecting your mate", she said, with a deep voice. She didn't sounded to be scary but she wanted to insert this to her mind completely.
And as anyone could expect, she became worried. She wasn't at all smart enough to choose her perfect mate. If she can do mistakes in choosing the path for the journey, then, how will she choose her path for the right mate of her life?.she be came so worried that, she was at the edge of crying. She didn't know, why did she had this feeling, perhaps, becoming a girl, effected on her emotions.
So, the Aura pokemon, patted her a little on her back, while mshe was hugging and said, "My dear", she said softly, as she soothed her a little, "I know, you will make the best choice for you. You have your parent's accents in you. Your heart is as pure as gold, your soul is as shiny as silver and your beauty is as graceful as emerald. You can never make a bad choice. Even I can bet that, you will get a better mate than my one", she smiled but at the last sentence, she laughed out a little.
She also with her, little giggled. " No, I won't get", she protested in a playful manner. She didn't wanted to make her uncle lower in her respect. He as already an idol for her, and after her battle, she would be learning some moves from him also.
"Look", Lucario started as she turned towards her, not in a very firm tone, " Diana, the only thing I want is that, to follow your heart. It will never take you in the wrong path", she advised her. She had also done so and achieved the best, she was suited.
Diana looked at her and nodded. After her gym, it will be in the top of the priority list. She mentally noted. So, again aunt Lucario returned m her topic, "So as I was saying, mating is the most important part of this cycle. You must have heard from your human breeder friend", she asked, whether she knew about it already. When she gave a sideways node, she sighed down and continued, " OK, pokemons mainly mate, either to live together or to breed their species. So, the species, which is suffering from huge extinction, breed even out of the mating cycle. ", she informed her.
Gardevoir's nodded. She, till now didn't had any confusion, but she couldn't understand, why aunt Lucario was focusing this part as 'pervert' type. After getting a nod, she continued, " Now, you need to know, how to mate. Well, as I have already told you, when two pokemon finished courting, they have a temporary mark, now to solidify it, she paused. She saw, Diana to close up a little her face, "you and your partner need to have a sexual intercourse", she finished quickly, now her face completely red. This was no less in Diana also. Now she understood, she was telling this phrase as pervert.
"While you do it, your mate needs to break your sacred barrier, which is the most painful experience from our part, but it also give pleasure and happiness of a loving one to break it. So, after a few jerking, when he will release his semen into your vagina, your mating will be complete", she completed the teaching the whole process. She blushed in red, as she got reminded of her own times, when she had this feeling with her husband.
Diana's blush seemed to be never ceased. It was still that red now. She also and an important question to be asked, " But aunt, it will also make us pregnant.", in nervous tone. Yeah, she would like to make a mate, but she didn't knew, that would mean, she need to be pregnant!
"Yeah, you will be caring your mate's baby, that is the biggest happiness, which one pokemon or human gets. And don't worry. It will take nearly two month's time for you take out your own egg.", she said in happy voice. She didn't wanted to get her depressed as she had league to win and one last badge also.
So, Gardevoir sighed in relief. She had a lot of time that to happen. And mainly she needs to focus on the last badge to win. The duo glanced at the clock and saw, it was half past eleven in the morning. What! They had spent more than three hours, just to discuss this. But is was important though.
"So for now, best of luck for the gym. I hope, we will win.", her aunt said, giving her a good luck thump and with a wink at her.. She nodded with a smile. There was no chance in loosing with such pokemon team of her. So after that, she took her pokeball to return her. She then resumed her human trainer's disguise and checked everywhere, if he is living anything behind. After that, he locked the room from the front and took the keys.
He then moved ntot he next room, where his friends are waiting. After telling them that he had finished with the meeting, they were ready to move on to the gym. He then returned the keys to the nurse joy and he way to it.
Infront of the gym gate
Ash and his friends were standing in front of the gym and gazing at it. It was a marvellous building, almost like traditional Japanese houses, with two golden Dradinies at the top of the roof cliff. Brock and Misty, especially drooled at it. It was so majestic that they truly wished that their gyms look as prideful like. They deeply wondered, who ever was the gym leader, must be very high class, to maintain such magnification.
So, with taking a deep breath, Ash pushed the door of the with all his might. As he opened it, it was scorching dark in side. One by one, one after the other entered into it. "Hello, is anyone here, I am here to challenge the gym leader of this gym.", he said out loud. Even his voice echoed all around, as if ghosts were released from their graves.
May and Max were shuddering in the dark, just praying, not to encounter with any ghosts or devils. And just then, the lights of the gym, flashed open. All the people closed their eyes duemto sudden illumination, so after a few seconds, Ash slowly opened his eyes and looked, there was a lady, standing on a stand and along side, was an old man, much shorter in height.
" So, you are the next challenger for this gym.", she said gruffly. Ash nervously nodded. Now, as much as Ash could predict, either this gym leader is excessively strong of she is thinking more of her self.
"So, before we start, I mind you, this is the toughest gym in whole Johto region. So, you need to have at least seven badges with you, before you challenge this one. Only ten at average, could conquer this gym per year", said in rough voice. She didn't didn't showed her boastfulness on her face, as her main goal is to defeat all the challengers, at least for one year.
Ash and his friends became shocked. Ten badges at average could be won in each year. This was barely one badge per month. His Pikachu also sweat dropped. Defeating this gym would be most difficult for him. But he would leave no chance for him to win this gym. Everything was counting on him.
Ash then said, " I have seven badges",bravely. He wasn't going to run away from this gym, only because it is the most difficult. From the opposite, the gym leader smiled. She was little satisfied with this boy as, most of the challengers, who came here, after she told them that, they would immediately run of this gym and find some other gym to challenge. She also need to tell something else to that boy, "Also, if you lose here, you will have to give me, all the gym badges, that you have earned in this region."
Ash was shocked. He never came across any gym which demanded any other gym badge, if they loose. The gym leader could clearly see, tension was written like things seen through crystalline glass. "If you want, then you may go to the newtown city and challenge their gym, which is much easier to win, thousand times easier.", she advised him, but the last part was little boastful.
So, Ash thought about it, What should I do. If I challenge this gym and loose, then I will loose every single badge that I have won. And if I don't, the next gym will be very far and more over late for me to challenge., he was very conflicted at that moment. He looked at his best friend for an answer. So, Pikachu didn't need any verbal sign up o understand and said,
" Ash, we will do our best in any gym, so it is your choice to select the gym, which we have to battle", he said in his pokespeech, at which Ash nodded. The gym leader, smiled from inside, at the sight of a pokemon, talking with it's trainer. It reminded of her times, when she and her cousin talked with their pokemons and played with them. It was just so amusing.
And at Pikachu's sayings, he got reminded of his aunt's words, to always follow the heart, it will never take the wrong way. So after that, he took a long breath, took his decision and said, "No. I will battle this gym and claim my eight Johto badge from here", with all his might. He was getting a true feeling that he would win, no matter what!
So, at this, she just sighed name said, " OK, it's your choice but remember, my gym is also known as 'hell's gym'", with a sign of pity on him. But him her heart, she was eager to face this challenger, as she felt this one was something different. She also knew that any kind of negative word for him will not stop him from having ntis gym battle.
"Kaburagi, please take on hold of the judge", she said to him who done, what was told to him. The others were asked to sit on the chairs of the arena and watch the battle. So they did. They were very nervous about this battle as idf he looses, then they all had to retravel the whole gym.
The gym leader and Ash took each their respective stands and waited for Kaburagi to say, " This is the official gym battle for Rising Badge between", at here, he looked at Ash, as if he was asking his name. So he said, "Ash Ketchum from pallet town".
" between challenger Ash Ketchum and gym leader Clair. The challenger, nor the gym leader is allowed to make any substitutions.", at here Ash widens his eyes. He then looked at her. She said, "This is also an extra rule which I legally have permission to use". So, he just gulped. He need to make wise choice at each time.
"So the battle begin!", he said, and the last part, he actually yelled.
The first one was Clair, who took out her pokeball and said, "Today I will give you a battle which you will never forget and if you loose, you won't have courage to challenge any", as she finished, she called her pokemon. " Kingdra, show 'em who is the real powerhouse of the match", she said and launched it at the pool part of the gym field. Then, as was expected, it gave out it's own species' cry. Fully energized.
Kingdra. I looks like Seadra, meaning, it is a water type pokemon, he formulated the plan. Well, this wasn't so tough, as she described, "Pikachu, you are up", he commanded him, who gave a happy cry to be chosen out and ran into the field. He got the first opportunity to beat them all. And he would surely do.
" Huh! A Pikachu", she exclaimed. "You are using a Pikachu, either you are very brave and strong or foolish", said with a snicker. She thought, Ash might have thought that being evolved from Seadra, which is a water type pokemon, have an advantage on her. But the real case is just the opposite.
From the audience, Brock and Max were most worried on choosing Pikachu for defeating Kingdra. " Brock, does Ash knows that Kingdra is a part dragon type, so Pikachu's attacks are noting for it", Max asked him, whispering to him. So, he also replied, in same tone, "I don't know. Just pray Arceus that he knows, or else, he along with us, have to retravel the region as fast as we can".
Back in the battle, Ash didn't understand, why did she say that. But this going to plain and fast for him, at least he thought. " Whatever, Pikachu, use thundervolt on it", he barked at him. He also replied, "You got it", as he finished, he glowed his body in yellow aura and then came out a thunder like yellow light from him, straight towards his opponent.
Upon receiving the disastrous thundervolt, it merely affected Kingdra, actually nothing had happened to it. It just closed it's eyes and waited for the electricity to turn down and then it opened it eyes. Clair just smirked at the intelligence of the boy and said, " Don't you know, electric type attacks have no effect on dragon types" and only laughed out, covering her mouth a bit. Then she turned to her pokemon and commanded, "Kingdra, use Dragon Dance and then giga impact"
So as commanded, it glowed into green colour. Then as it finished, it glowed into a purple colour, with yellow stripes, covered itself with it. And then it was charging towards him. So Ash, without wasting any time, commanded, "Pikachu, use quick attack to dodge it and also use it to attack it.", sweating profusely. This Clair was surely a thing.
"OK", he said and quickly dodged it with the attack and the same time, he also attacked at the side of it. However, it didn't worked much as it just stopped the attack of it and nothing else. Clair was little astonished by that. She knew, quick attack is a priority move and using it in that creatively, definitely definitely proved that he was an interesting challenger for her.
" I must give you the credit, using quick attack to dodge and attack at thesame time is something different, which I usually see. " she praised him a little. He was feeling little embarrassed for that and replied, "Well, thank you", timidly. But he need to work hard to win this match at any cost.
I need to think something quick or else.., it was cut off as he heard his Pikachu's voice, " Ash! I also know one more normal type move, it is called 'return'. And it's power depends on the amount of friendship we have", he said panting a little. He was little exhausted after such a speedy move. Ash also looked at Kingdra, he noticed that it didn't moved a bit, as if it was frozen at that point.
So, he had that option to use. So he called, "So Pikachu, give it what we have got, use quick attack and return move, two at the same time" at him. He nodded and became almost invisible formhis incredible speed. Clair was shocked, using Quick attack for priority and return move power, was very effective attack combination for him to use on it.
So, Pikachu darted towards it. It wanted to dodge him but couldn't as it had to rest for a moment to regain energy. Pikachu used the first move to reach out the target fast and then formed a blue clouded orb between his hands and launched it to it. As it hit it, it ended up with a colossal explosion in the water, smoke spread all over. As it moved, non of the pokemon was conscious to battle.
"Both the pokemons have fainted out, so the match is draw", said Kaburagi, without lifting any of the coloured flag." Trainer and gym leader, please choose your next pokemon ", he asked them.
Clair called her pokemon and praised it a little for it's performance. While Ash ran into the fields and cluthced fainted out Pikachu, into his arms. He saw many bruises on his body, even though, he didn't didn't got any direct hit from the pokemon. Perhaps, crashing with that, what so called, giga drain, painted this on his body.
He then noticed, Pikachu to open his eyes, very slowly, because for the agony. As he fully opened, he found himself in the hands of Ash and could see a sad, yet a happy face. He then asked, " Did I win?", painfully. He had bided his 'everything' in this match and so, he was eager to know the results.
Ash sadly nodded his head side ways and said, "No Pikachu. But", he paused, he became little happier and said, " but we made a draw with her. We still have chance with her to win", and hugged his best friend and the first pokemon of his.
Pikachu knew it. He was already expecting this to happen. After making a move like that against a overpowering pokemon, hadn't a chance to win. He slowly released his tears into his boxer shirt, grieving in the loss of his love and all. He shouldn't had organised a challenge like this, then, then this wouldn't happen. And now, he only hoped, whoever would win, had to make sure to keep her happy.
Ash, now could feel some wetness in his middle of his boxer shirt. As he removed Pikachu from there, he found, he was crying. "Pikachu, why are you crying? We may not win, but at least we made it draw. So, what's the point", he asked, little confused, why. He could feel a deep sorrow in his heart with a rage of himself.
" No. I am just sad for loosing you from me", he said, but the last part was his thought. So he understood and took him back on his stand, so that he could rest for a while.
From audience, Max was thrilled by Ash's move set. He never saw this kind of strategy from anyone, he had ever met. "Wow! It was amazing! I never saw such a kind of combo move from anyone", he exclaimed. His eyes became glittered with stars at the attraction he got.
" He is Ash! He can do anything! ", Misty said with joy by seeing, Ash defeating Clair's first pokemon. She truly prayed for his victory. Or else, he would be very disappointed for himself. Then Brock also added, " Well, you can't predict Ash in pokemon battle. He doesn't much care about the power and advantages of a pokemon does. And this he proved in battle with my rock type pokemons with his Pikachu in my gym", with Misty. He also admire him very much. And thus, he is here.
At this, May and Max, quickly turned their heads and enquired of, "Are you a gym leader?", Max asked. As far his information said, no gym leader is allowed to travel as they need to take on challenges continually. But, this question was indirectly answered by Misty, "I am also a gym leader of Cerulean Gym.", she answered from the back.
Back in the battle field, Both the trainers were ready for the battle. Clair, the gym leader, choose her second pokemon and said, " Garadoes, spring out and make your presence in the gym", and tossed her pokeball, up in the air. As it opened, a blue-yellow, atrocious pokemon made it's presence. It was flying in the air, much covering nthe light of the field.
Ash, seeing that pokemon, mentally face planted in his palm. Ouh! If I choose Latios or Gallade for Kindra, then Pikachu could easily defeat this pokemon, having an advantage on him. But, I am sure, that even Latios can defeat in no time. He has legendary genes in him. There is no chance or drawing with this pokemon now, Ash mentally prepared, what he needed to do.
Pikachu, who came into fully consciousness, dramatical fell down in the front. He then really want to battle with this pokemon. But for the rules, he can't do that and moreover, his own body didn't permit that.
So now, Ash aligned his hat in the front and took out the love ball from his belt and enlarged it. Clair from the other side, fixed her eyes on that ball and wondered, It must be a very close pokemon of his, so he kept her in that love ball, she perfectly knew, what is the use and effect of a love ball.
Ash then tossed mthe pokeball in the air and revealed legendary eon dragon pokemon in the air. As he came out and opened his eyes, he couldn't believe the gym leader, his was witnessing to be his opponent. This situation was no different in Clair. She looked at the dragon in such a manner of shock, that, it wasn't true in front of her.
"WHAT! YOU!", they both exclaimed at each other. Ash could see, his pokemon and Clair seemed to be have met before also. But didn't know how.
" Ash, from where did you get this Latios? ", she said with rage. Name pointing at the pokemon. Even Latios was also very angry, even he could fire a thousand of attacks on her, but that would be legally a crime and he don't want to push Ash in all this.
Ash thought for a moment, plainly. He couldn't find a reason for showing so much of anger for each other, so decided to just answer, " Well, about a day before in the nearby forests ", guessing the exact place and time as he could.
And now, Clair, facing the eon dragon said with smug, " So you and your sister didn't left my his place, since I abandoned you two?", she was sure, she was right on her way and Latios should apologize to her for his deed. Ash from the field and the audience from the back became shocked at what had she said. She abandoned a legendary pokemon. People thrive for having atleast one legendary pokemon, but she abandoned her two legendary pokemons!
Latios kept quite for a moment. She was right that he and his sister was living in this place, but, she doesn't have the right to tell them, where they should leave. So, he mentally screamed, "You fucking bitch, doesn't have the right to tell, where we should leave. And I still now believe, you asshole is the reason for that", into her head. He was welling out venom from his brain for doing such foolish work.
Clair now became very agitated for that. She was having smoke, coming out of her head and her face was red with anger and said in same manner, "And you, fucking piece of shit, should be abandoned or else, you would create that kind of miserable problems for others also". Ash widens his heavily. She just said slangs to his pokemon and also accused for something he doesn't know.
" Latios, what happened? Why does she accusing like that?", he asked. He desperately wanted to know, what in the world, did he done, that he deserved to listen slangs.
He then turn towards Ash, with said eyes. He then heaved a little and began, "It all began in the Sinnoh region in the final battle with Tobias, a legendary pokemon trainer. Clair, at that time was taken off from the gym duties and fought in the battle in there. We two were the best partners in the battle and made plain and straight to the finals, but there,", at here, he little paused. He still felt the grief for the loss for the battle, but couldn't help as all for the loss was Clair.
Then again, he continued, " as we were there. We were facing Tobias, the most powerful trainer in that region and one of the legendary trainers in the world. Clair and saved me and Latias at the last as we were the best in her team. Clair defeated all the pokemons of him, even my sis defeated that ruthless Darkrai. And then her last pokemon, meaning, my turn came. When I saw my opponent, it was another Latios of his. He looked more muscular and powerful but I knew,me and my trainer were the best and would claim the winners.", he said, still in telepathy, to not understand, what he was telling to him.
Clair could easily understand, Latios was talking with telepathy with him by the expression of his and his trainer. She was about to interject in-between when Kaburagi stopped her. He was already annoyed for using slangs in the time of gym battle. Audience from the back, didn't understand, what was happening down there. Everything was going off the head.
Latios again continued, "We fought fiercely. Taking two hits and giving two hits. We both were severely exhausted, just fighting with each other for just our trainers. Then suddenly, Clair said to rain dance to rain and thundervolt him. I didn't liked that idea much as dragon types aren't affected by electric moves, but then also, I did. But, combining with rain, it surely effected my opponent, but the thunder discharged everywhere, electrocuting many people in the stadium. So, even though, we won the match, we were disqualified for that incident. So, when we returned, she released me and told that she abandoned me. I tried to convince that it was just an accident, but she didn't listened. So, Latias, who can't live without me and I also need to protect her, decided to abandon her trainer with me. Then, we just roamed here and there, searching for food and shelter. And now you tell me, who has the fault here!", he finished here. He was and and angry at that time. Recalling the past memories wasn't always so delightful.
Ash then processed for the answer and he also agreed that it was an accident, no one has fault in it. He then looked at her and said, "Clair, I also think, it was just an accident. So, no one should apologize to anyone", he said politely. He didn't wanted to break such a bond of friendship of pokemon and trainer.
" No! It is totally his fault. He could little minimized that thundervolt, so that, he could control it.",she protested. She was to stubborn, more than Ash, to just think about that. And I will prove this by wining with battle", che challenged him. Ash then looked at the eon and said, "Latios, we will win this match, don't worry", he promised him.
He already sworn to himself to win at any cost. And now, he had two reasons, first and foremost, he need to win the heart of Diana and the newly second reason, to prove his innocence. They were enough for him to pump him up with confidence. He then turn towards his opponent, a gyaradoes, ready to pounce on him.
Ash then also looked at his opponent, Clair, who wrongfully accused for an accident, in which, he hadn't any fault. He would surely fight for his pokemon's rights.
" Now, that both of you ready, let the battle begin ", Kaburagi announced as he saw, both of them came into their battle stands.
So, the first move was made by Gyradoes. " Gyradoes, double team and ice fang on him. Rip him and end this at first ", she yelled at it. So, by obeying her orders, it made four to six projections of itself and it's became like ice like blue colour. Latios, at this, looked at it with frightened eyes. But knew, his master was best and could save him anyhow.
" Latios, turn invisible and dodge it, till I command you", he also yelled at him. So, he vanished into the air and let no one, except for Ash know, where he was. He flew a bit higher, making out of range for Gyradoes. Aash need to think fast, as Latios can't keep this protection for a long time. So he decided to discuss about the moves, he can make.
"Latios, you said, you were mastering solar beam and you already knew thundervolt ", Ash telepathically asked him. He nodded happily, but no one can see it for his invisibility. Ash could sense his happiness and continued, " So, I want you to stop this invisibility and prepare for solar beam and give it a powerful thundervolt. So, when I say 'use the plan, TSb02', do that, and when I say to use solar beam, use it. Then definitely we would win", he suggesting his plan. But in all this, he neglected one thing, he didn't counted Latios' potentials. He was already keeping up invisibility, making him lose his powers already.
Latios also agreed happily as in his head, everything was going on was how to impress Ash, even if it costs him all. Ash then looked at Clair, with a positive grin on his face, ready to smash her for her deeds. When Clair looked at him, she just wondered, what he is up to.
"Latios, turn down the invisibility and use the plan, TSb02 on it", he commanded happy high spirit yell at him. So, he turned down the invisibility and prepared for the moves. The audience, Clair and even Gyradoes was thinking hell and heaven to figure out, what was he up to?
So, Latios canceled this invisibility and then lunched a powerful shock of thunder towards the opponent. Even one's attention was now on it, seeing it being electrocuted by a super effective move, but, unbeknownst to the other, minus Ash, Latios was already preparing for the solar beam. He didn't let know of it to any one.
Gyradoes now heavily became weak by that attack, Clair was now head struck to defend it and win this match to prove her supremacy on him. But she took a longer time to formulate as Ash already commanded his move, " Latios, use solar beam", he said, seeing this victory already.
The gym leader, at first heaved in relief at first at knowing the move, as she knew, solar beam needs a turn charge up for it, but for her great infamous luck, it directly came from him, charging towards it. Seeing that, Clair thought, they won already, but, when she saw the water down, she got a plan.
"Gyradoes, splash into the water and built a barrier of water to defend yourself", she quickly said. Sweat was running from her cheeks. The more quicker she said, the more quicker it would react. So, Gyradoes then done, what was told to it and had created a barrier for itself.
Latios and Ash, both didn't expected this to happen and likewise, the attack, which has 100% accuracy, missed the target. And top of that, Latios became weak and need some time to rest and attack. And that was the perfect time for her to make her move.
"Gyradoes, use ice fang on the neck of him. Rip him off from the world", she yelled evil-like manner. She was just thinking of proving herself, and forgotten, once how close friends were they they were like brother and sister like, always protecting each other from trouble. And now that 'sister' have turned like this.
Gyradoes in full rage, locked it's jaws on his neck, which made a sheer force impact on him. He yelled so loud that even outside was heard. That was so hard that , if it had more done, blood would start to come. His eyes wanted to spell out rivers of tears but he need to control it, for his conditions to win. After it had finished with him, Latios' eyes were burning fire. He need to somehow defeat him and he would do it.
So, he grit his teeth and with the fragment of power, he left with, used all to produce a so called, thundershock from him. He completely forgotten that, if he drain all his energy, it would make him faint.
As the it the target, it streak with pain by a super effective, plus, being in contaminated with water, it's power increased very much. After that and smoke had been cleared off, it was revealed that Gyradoes was stood high, but somehow, keep with its while Latios stopped levitating and was found on the floor, full unconscious. So, the winner was clear out there.
"So, the winner of this match is Gyradoes of the gym leader Clair", Kaburagi announced by lifting the red flag towards her. Then he looked at Latios and Ash with the eyes of pity. He himself felt a kind of ashamed of himself, for the output of his sacraments, he had given to her. She like his daughter and didn't like that one of behavior. And just the moment, it heard, they won, it immediately became fainted. So, Clair, unwillingly, called back it into the pokeball.
From the audience, they were feeling very sad for him, not only for loosing a match, but more, to not able to prove himself of not guilty. Max and Misty's eyes were full of tears, seeing someone so powerful, fighting for his rights, lost from Justice. Misty was sad because, it reminded of her own times, when she had to fight from her sisters, to get her rightful thing.
Max was sad because, Latios was one of his idol pokemons of his hometown. He was so powerful and yet lost by a normal gyradoes, didn't marched properly together for him.
From the battle field, Ash rushed towards him. His own eyes were teared up at the condition of him, even Pikachu was feeling sad, though he was his rival, but not his enemy. He was also his friend, so whatever sorrows, he had, all would it belong to his friends also.
Ash then hold his face with his hands and hugged tightly with it's chest. After a while, he merely started to open his eyes. "do you believe that now I am a gulity?", he said in a very low voice, just wanted to communicate with him. At here, Ash became fully teared up and said, while now hugging his face with his own, " No, I don't think, you are a guilty. What ever they say or believe, but we know that, what is right and what is wrong", while sobbing on his face. He could feel the grief and sorrow, came from the most loved ones, but, he can't let it capture his emotions.
So after that, he recalled him into his own love ball. When Clair again saw it, she remarked, "And one think, I want to say", at here, Ash's head drove towards the direction, " If you don't keep a pokemon, opposite to the trainer's gender, then the effect of Love Ball will be equal to the Poke ball. Mind that", said in a brittle done. So, stingy.
Then again, after some moments, she began, "Now, let's finish this with my victory round", and took out her last pokeball from her belt. She then also added, " if you draw this time, then, automatically I will win", with a smirk.
Ash didn't like that attitude very much, it is worse than Gary in her. So, with his final pokemon, he truly provisions of wining. So, he put that pokeball out ,enlarged and placed in front of him.
"So the final round between the challenge and the gym leader begin", Kaburagi announced as he saw, both of them, ready with their pokemons. He, in his heart, wanted Ash to win and break boastful pillar into pieces and to avenge for his pokemon.
Brock and others from the back, were just thinking, what pokemon, he would use to defeat her last pokemon. Obviously, she had already saved her last pokemon for the final as it would be the strongest of all. " Brock, now what will Ash do. If Latios had a tough time to defeat a gyradoes, then, how will his next pokemon would able to defeat her strongest one.", Max asked him with a terrified voice.
Brock somewhat, having difficulty in telling, said, "I know Max, after we learnt about Ash's new from, everything has become more difficult to interpret now. I just hope, that Ash has a strong plan against her" in shivery manner. Every time when he looked at her, she frightened him so much, instead of attracting him, if she would battle him, then he would had become a cry baby.
On the field, Clair thrown out the pokeball, up in the air and called, "Come on out, Dragonair and win this battle as gracefully as usual", and then a blue coloured, majorly, serpentine pokemon came out, with a blue coloured crystal on it's neck. As it appeared, it give out it's name cry.
For Ash, he took a deep breath and tossed the pokeball in the air. He wasn't sure, what would happen after this, but he had no choice. As the light from the ball came and fall on the ground, a pokemon, from the top was mostly green and towards the bottom, was fully white, with two horns, coming out of his chest.
He first looked at Ash, seeing tension sketched on his face and his friend Pikachu, little depressed about something. " Have you and Latios won?",he asked softly. Only Ash was the extra one, who could hear. So, Pikachu shook his head sadly and replied, "No, we just tied up with them and you need to win to get it", and then looked downwards. He didn't wanted to admit, he wan now the only capable pokemon left to gave his master the charm and happiness in his life.
For Ash, he understood that, Fighter just asked for the pokemon's performance only, but there, his deciding future was also hidden. After that, Gallade then entered into the battle field and came into his fighting stands. From Clair, she was worried about her next move, but she didn't let it on her face.
My my, I have never seen a pokemon like this before. This boy is really full of surprises. By the look of this pokemon, I think, it is a fighting type, so that's it, at here, she planned her move. Now, Ash, he was busy communicating with his pokemon," Fighter, do you know any move that is super effective on Dragonair", he asked. After some thinking, he replied, "Well, she is a dragon type, so for her, my ice punch and Dual chop will be enough for her", he replied. And here, Ash asked another question, "What is is Dual Chop move?".
So he replied, " It is a dragon type move which has multi hiring chances, it becomes very powerful, when the pokemon is hit more then three times, that to on a dragon types" with a confidential voice while pumping up his muscles. Clair little frowned at this, thinking that they were overconfident, while being herself into that.
Fighter then proceed to the field, glaring at his opponent, as if he would anytime pounce on her.
"OK Dragonair, use twister, combining with waterfall", she ordered to her. She wanted to finish this off as soon as possible. She, now, decided to show no mercy on 't being a subject of curiosity, would let her to give him the match. So Dragonair let a powerful tornado, combining with sprouts of water. By that combination, it created a huge attack, almost covering the field.
" Fighter, use quick attack along with ice punch ", Ash yelled at the top of his voice as the twister was itself was creating a loud noise. So, he attacked, but he thought of modifying it into better, so he instead of quick attack, he used extremespeed, which is more powerful than quick attack. As he passed out his opponent's attack, he glowed his hands into blue and give her two punches on her slender body.
So, she made a bawling cry from for it knocked out from it. She crashed on the ground with few bruises on her body. She was trying her best to stand up, at least for her trainer. This state had also caused for using two powerful moves into one, plus, she didn't properly trained to use two moves in one, being Clair's last choice. Eventually, she made it, but weary. But in contrary to Gallade, he stood tall.
" Now, it is the time Gallade, use Dual chop and finish this", he said, smiling now, seeing his advantage one. Due to Dragonair's health, her speed also decreased. Which lead him to make his move and eventually win the round. She now fully fainted, lying like dead on the ground, clearing stating, Fighter was the winner.
Kaburagi from the referee point, Ash's friends from the back, all smiled with joy and happiness, especially, they had tears formed in their eyes. Misty clapped her hands, Brock and Max, joined their hands and jumping at that point and May was also happy for him.
On the field, Clair ran towards the her, embracing her face with hers, cheering her the best, she did for her. She also opened her eyes and then licked her face a little, eating a giggle from her. So, she then said, "You have done a wonderful job and now take a long rest", then she returned her into the pokeball. She then looked at the winning party, smiling happily for the tough victory, praising everyone for their job, especially Fighter, he was the victory key.
She also let a smile on her face, seeing, he was really better than her and then felt an old hand on her shoulder, seeing Kaburagi, seeing her with his smile, and brought the prize for his hardships.
She then stood up and went to Ash. He saw him to his proximity and turned to her direction. " Today, after a long time, I am giving the winning badge to a trainer for defeating me. So, have it and feel proud of yourself ", she said and picked up the badge from the tray and give it in the hands of him.
Like usual, he made his wining pose, with his best friend Pikachu, now added with Gallade. May, Max, Clair and Kaburagi sweatdropped at the action and asked for the reason from the remaining two. After that, He nagged her from his elbow towards his side, indicating to do her.
She came in front and said, " And, now I apologize for my behavior. I now believe that, there were really no one's part in it. It was accident. ", bending her head down, as if she was bowing him. At this, Ash pulled his one hand back to his head and said, " I understand, so would you take back your two friends. I wouldn't mind ", and suggested.
At first, he felt happy for them for reuniting with their trainer, but then he felt little sad for living his two new friends, away from him. However, it was for their good only, so it doesn't matter.
Clair had some kind of shocked faced after listening this. He was willing to give them back, without any rigidity. But, after all this, she felt ashamed of herself of doing that. She doesn't want that kind of situation ever occur with her. She also saw, how happy was Latios with Ash really made a better partners then her, so she said slowly, by holding his two hands, " I think, they are better in your hands Ash. I was not the right person to have them and till now, I am not. So, take them, train them hard and fulfil their dreams of becoming the strongest of their kinds. And I believe in you". She also formed tears, rolled down from her cheeks from her two eyes.
Ash could see them with his clearest of his eyes and said, "Yes, I promise you to make them the strongest of their kinds and will take a good care of them", reassuringly. He also added, but this time, with a laugh, " Then next time, when I will come with them, you won't able to recognize them", and then gave a smile.
She also moped her tears with her index finger and replied in a similar fashion, "OK, i'm looking for that day".
Ash's friends also came down from the side staircase and looked happily at him, who showed their their lst wining badge. Then they all proceed for their exit. While they reached out of the gym, Clair, looking at Ash reminded, " Remember Ash, I'm looking forward for it", while she was leaning at the frame of the gate.
So, Ash gave a confident nod and they all see off her. And went on the way for New Bark city for the registration. As Clair was seeing the gang, diminish after every minute, she had her last thought, When you will come back, I will give you a battle, which you will never forget with by strongest duo.
A/N: This story doesn't belong to the sixth generation, but only Ash and some few people can use moves of upper generation. But Ash will only get other regions' pokemon(Except for Harrison).
In my story, HM and TM have different meaning, HM is the move which can be learnt from a human trainer or from a trained pokemon, TM is the move which is learnt from the wild pokemons and tutoring move is the move, which has given a special training to learn and master it, unlike TM and HM, it requires a lot of self training, not just watching and learining.
So, I know, most of the readers(in ), have voted for Latios, which meansI disappointed you all. You know, when I was writing this, I was having a constant thought of making this into a reverse harem, but then, your participation would be of no use, so after a hard time, I finally stated to write it. Those who doesn't like Gallade to be the mate, may unlike the story.
So, that's for all, and I think, I may create the next one by the end of march, so till then happy reading.
