Chapter Sixteen
As we left our heroes, Ash have went missing in search of the Light Stone who he passes to Dawn in her dreams. Will Ash and Dawn be reunited? Let's find out.
After a few days of traveling through the Desert Resort, Dawn has spotted Nimbasa City far off to the north.
Cilan: Ahh Nimbasa City, what a place to remember of my childhood here.
Iris: You been here before Cilan?
Cilan: With my two brothers I have when we were children back then with our parents taking us on vacation here.
Dawn: Come on let's go find Ash.
Iris: Wait up Dawn.
The trainers hurried to Nimbasa City before it gets dark in the desert.
Nimbasa City (6:57 p.m.)
Dawn: Wow how beautiful this city looks.
Iris: Ehh it's alright. Not a big fan of huge cities.
Cilan: Let's go to the Pokémon Center and check in.
Dawn: Right!
The three are on their way to the Center till Dawn decided to catch up with them while she wants to look around for Ash.
Dawn: I wonder where he could be at Piplup.
Piplup: Piplup!
Unknown Voice: Pika PIKA!
Piplup: Pip?
Dawn: Was that who I think it was?
Dawn turns around to see Pikachu running towards her. Dawn hugs Pikachu.
Dawn: PIKACHU! (Said happily)
Pikachu: Pikachu!
Piplup: Piplup!
Dawn: Where's Ash?
Pikachu: Pika Pika Chu!
Pikachu point near the ferris wheel and she spots Ash.
Dawn: ASH!
She runs towards him to give him a hug. They both embraced the hug and they look to each other's eyes, Ash and Dawn move their heads a little closer as they began to kiss. They shared their first kiss after not seeing each other for almost a week.
Dawn: I miss you so much and promise me not disappear again.
Ash: I promise and I missed you too. Do you have it?
Dawn: The Light Stone? (Whispered)
Ash: Yeah!
Dawn: It's in my bag.
Ash: Good, so how about we ride this ferris wheel together?
Dawn: I'd love too.
She kisses him again on the lips and they both got on the ferris wheel with their Pokémon.
Dawn: This is so romantic of you Ash.
Ash smiles at Dawn and he rests his head on her lap.
Dawn: You're very tired aren't you?
Ash: Well I haven't slept for days since I enter your dream.
After the ferris wheel ride, they head back to the Pokémon Center and Ash was greeted by Iris and Cilan.
Cilan: Ash it's nice to see you safe.
Iris: Same here.
Cilan: Here Ash you left this behind.
Ash: I was wondering what happen to Pikachu's Pokéball.
Pikachu's eyes turn left to right three times, trying not to be suspicious about it.
Dawn: Well we better go to our bedroom now Ash. I want you two to rest for tomorrow.
Ash: Right! (Shook his head)
Ash and Pikachu both slept while Dawn watches the two sleep peacefully. Dawn and Piplup soon go to bed after a long day of walking to Nimbasa City.
Morning (8:31 a.m.)
Dawn wakes up from bed and she finds Ash still sleeping, Pikachu soon wakes up after a nice long sleep.
Dawn: Good morning Pikachu. (Said happily)
Pikachu: Pika Pika! (Good morning)
Dawn: Piplup wake up.
Piplup: Pip?
Dawn: Come on let's go to the dining room. Want to join us Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pika! (Nodded his head)
Pikachu follows Dawn and Piplup for breakfast in the Pokémon Center.
Ash soon wakes up and looks around the room and couldn't see anyone in the bedroom.
Ash: Hmmm I guess everyone got up a little early. Yawn…..
Ash got up and change into his clothes and goes out the bedroom to find Dawn.
Dawn: Good morning sweetie, how did you slept tonight?
Ash: Morning Dawn, I slept very well. Just a little tired.
Dawn: Here drink some warm milk and you feel a little better.
Ash: Thanks.
Ash drinks the cup of warm milk.
Dawn: So today you want to challenge the gym leader today?
Ash: Yeah, I was training while I was gone and I'm excited for my fourth badge.
Dawn: Well I hope you win this; I'll be cheering on for you.
Ash: Thanks.
Dawn: You know I had a wonderful time yesterday with you. (She blush)
Ash: Me too.
Dawn: Let's get going to the gym.
Ash: Right I'll get Iris and Cilan.
Dawn: Okay sweetie I'll meet you outside the Center.
Ash shook his head on agreeing with Dawn.
After a few minutes later, Ash with Iris and Cilan soon meet with Dawn outside the Center and they head out to find the Nimbasa City Gym.
Cilan: I'm looking through my town map and the gym is right near the amusement park to the east of here.
Ash: Great let's get going!
The trainers have arrived at the front of the gym and they enter it.
The trainers heard a huge of crowd of people from somewhere inside the building.
Iris: What is that noise coming from?
Dawn: Sounds like its coming from the other side of that door.
The trainers open the door and they see a fashion show is taking place inside the gym.
Ash: This is the Nimbasa City Gym?
Cilan: According to the map it is.
Dawn: Woowww she's pretty, who is she?
Unknown Girl: That's Elesa, a fashion model a gym leader of the Nimbasa Gym.
Ash: Hey are you Bianca?
Unknown Girl: Hey you're Ash and Dawn, right?
Dawn: Yeah we met back at Lily of the Valley Island.
Ash: Nice to see you again Bianca, what brings you here to Nimbasa City?
Bianca: I just came here after my gym battle with Elesa and I wanted to see the fashion show.
Iris: Hi I'm Iris and this is Axew.
Axew: Axew!
Cilan: And I'm Cilan, a Pokémon Connoisseur.
Bianca: I'm Bianca and I am a trainer from Nuvema Town.
Ash: Pikachu you remember Bianca?
Pikachu: PIKA! (Raised his arm up)
The supermodel Elesa heard Pikachu's cry and she was stunned to see a Pikachu in person for the first time. She walks towards the trainers and asks.
Elesa: Is that your Pikachu?
Ash: Yeah.
Elesa: It's so cute, may I hold it.
Ash: Go ahead.
Elesa: Awwh aren't you the cute one?
Pikachu: Pika!
Ash: I'm Ash from Pallet Town and I came here to challenge the gym.
Elesa: Well it's a challenge you want I'll accept it.
Ash: Thanks!
Elesa: How about a three on three battle?
Ash: Fine with me.
Elese prepares the battlefield on the stage and the audience platform rise up a little for a better view of the match.
Referee: This is a three on three battle, first trainer to defeat the opponent's Pokémon is the winner.
Elesa: I'll let you go first.
Ash: Alright, Go Sandile!
Sandile: San Dile!
Elesa: Go my Electric Queen!
Ash: Who's that Pokémon?
Pokédex: Tynamo, the EleFish Pokémon. Tynamo usually lives in groups, and has an electricity-generating organ which discharges when in distress.
Ash: Alright Sandile use Dig!
Tynamo just floats on at the same spot waiting for Sandile.
Dawn: Why is Elesa isn't doing anything?
Cilan: If I am correct, I believe that Tynamo's ability is Levitate. So ground types aren't effective against Pokémon with the Levitate ability.
Dawn: Oh no, looks like Ash is going to have a problem here.
Ash: Now Sandile jump out and attack Tynamo.
Sandile came out of the ground and Tynamo levitated higher to the air.
Ash: What?
Elese: Tynamo is unaffected by ground move because of its Levitate ability.
Ash: I need to rethink this.
Elesa: Tynamo use Tackle!
Ash: Sandile dodge it!
Tynamo landed a perfect Tackle attack on Sandile and it was serious hurt by the strong Tynamo.
Ash: Sandile get up.
Sandile: Dile!
Sandile starts to glow blue with its eyes red.
Ash: Sandile?
Cilan: It's evolving!
Sandile's body is changing and when the evolution process stops. It became a Krokorok.
Ash got his Pokédex to scan Sandile's new evolution form.
Pokédex: Krokorok, the Desert Kroc Pokémon, and the evolve form of Sandile. The special membrane that covers Krokorok's eyes detects heat, which allows it to see in the dark.
Ash: Are you ready Krokorok?
Krokorok: Kroc!
Krokorok uses a new move and it hit Tynamo with a critical hit.
Referee: Tynamo is unable to battle and this round goes to Ash' Krokorok.
Elesa: Return my Electric Queen.
Ash: That was Stone Edge, way to go Krokorok!
Krokorok: KrokoRok!
Elesa: Zebstrika your turn!
Zebstrika was called out for battle. Ash gets his Pokédex again.
Pokédex: Zebtrika, the Thunderbolt Pokémon. Zebstrika can be dangerous when angry, shooting lightning in all directions from its mane. It is lightning fast and when running at full gallop, thunder echos through the air.
Ash: Ready Krokorok?
Krokorok: Kroc!
Ash: Okay let's start off with Stone Edge!
Elesa: Zebstrika use Flame Charge at Krokorok!
Krokorok shoots the stones at Zebstrika and it dodges the Stone Edge, Zebstrika's Flame Charge hit Krokorok. Its speed increased every time when it uses Flame Charge.
Elesa: Now finish it with Double Kick!
Zebstrika's Double Kick landed on Krokorok causing it to be knocked out.
Referee: Krokorok is unable to battle and the round goes to Elesa's Zebstrika.
Ash: Return Krokorok!
Elesa: You too Zebstrika!
Both of them return their Pokémon back into their Pokéballs.
Ash: Go Roggenrola!
Roggenrola: ROLA!

Ash: An Emolga!
Referee: Let the round, BEGIN!

While the battle is taking place, Iris calls out her Emolga to watch Elesa's Emolga battle with courage.
Elesa: Emolga dodge and use Secret Power.
Roggenrola was hit by the Secret Power but it's not giving up that easy.
Ash: Use Rock Blask!
Elesa: Emogla dodge it!
Roggenrola uses Rock Blast and Emolga was hit hard by the Rock Blast and it was super effective.
Referee: Emolga is unable to battle and this round goes to Ash's Roggenrola.
Ash: Great job Roggenrola.
Roggenrola: Roggen!
Elesa: Come on out again Zebstrika!
Ash Thoughts: This is her last Pokémon, if I win this, I win the battle.
Ash: Ready Roggenrola?
Roggenrola jumped.
Ash: Roggenrola use Stone Edge on Zebstrika!
Elesa: Zebstrika deflect that with Double Kick!
Roggenrola's Stone Edge failed and Elesa order Zebstrika to use Flame Charge on Roggenrola and it was unaffective since it's a Rock type.
Ash: Roggenrola use Flash Cannon!
Roggenrola's Flash Cannon hit Zebstrika but it hardly did any damage at all.
Elesa: Zebstrika use Double Kick once again and finish this!
Zebstrika's Double Kick hit Roggenrola twice but it was still standing because of its ability Sturdy.
Ash: Use Stone Edge again Roggenrola!
Elesa: Quick Zebstrika use Double Kick again!

Pokédex: Palpitoad, the Vibration Pokémon. Palpitoad can live both underwater and on dry land. It captures prey by using its long sticky tongue.
Iris: Since when did he capture a Palpitoad?
Cilan: I believe he must have caught it when he went missing.
Back to the battle.
Ash: Palpitoad use Supersonic!
Elesa: Zebstrika dodge.
Zebstrika dodge the attack to late and it was confused by Palpitoad's Supersonic.
Elesa: Zebstrika try to focus!
