Ash was rudely awoken by a bucket of water dumped over his face. "Wuzz going on?" He asked confused. "Get up" said Riley unforgivingly. "But it's dawn" whined Ash. "Exactly" Riley replied. "Now get out of bed or I'll throw you out" he threatened. Moaning and groaning, he got out of bed. "You have ten minutes" said Riley threateningly. Ten minutes later, Ash stood in front of Riley. "You and I will have to fight" said Riley. "What!" Exclaimed Ash. He had no clue how to fight, and definitely didn't want to fight someone who did. Riley punched him in the gut hard. As Ash doubled over in pain, Riley karate chopped his back. Ash fell, only to be kneed in the groin before he reached the ground. Riley smashed his heel on Ash's back before deeming it enough. He then healed Ash.
8 weeks later… "Ash" stated Riley "you are now an Aura Guardian, and must now wear this" he gestured to Aura Guardian robes, only these were red. After giving him Aura gloves and some warnings, Mew teleported Ash back to Pallet Town. After explaining what happened, May asked "so, now what Ash?" "I'm going to do the Indigo league all over again" he said confidently.
A/N By the way, Paul WAS at the party in chapter one. Knowing him, he crossed his arms and smirked instead of yelling "surprise."
