Chapter Twenty
Route 6 (8:05 p.m.)
As our heroes have settled down for the night at Route 6. Ash and Dawn have become closer to each other as they talk about their journey through Sinnoh.
Dawn: So Ash, how long did you had a crush on me before I found out that you had one on me?
Ash: Well it was when I first met you at Sinnoh, you risk your life to protect Pikachu and I'm glad that you came with me and Brock in our journey. It's because I wanted to know you better.
Dawn: That's so sweet.
Ash: So what about you?
Dawn: What do you mean about me?
Ash: When did you had a crush on me?
Dawn: Ohh well when I first saw how far you try to save Pikachu from Team Rocket when we first met, I was very worry that you would of got hurt and that's when it hit me. I decided to tell you if I can come with you, on your journey.
Ash: Wow so I guess we both had a crush on each other on the day we met, it's like we were destine to meet each other.
Dawn: Yeah and I'm glad, I wonder if it has something to do with the prophecy of Unova.
Ash: That reminds me; after I get my eight badge. I have to take the Light Stone to Dragonspiral Tower near Icirrus City.
Dawn: For what?
Ash: That's where we finally meet Reshiram.
Dawn: Wow I can't wait; can you just go there once we're at Icirrus City after you get your sixth badge?
Ash: It wouldn't work like that, Reshiram wants me to earn the eight gym badges of the Unova League to see if I worthy to meet it.
Dawn: I understand, well it's getting late so we better go to bed.
Ash: Right, come on Pikachu and Piplup.
Pikachu: Pika!
Piplup: Lup!
Ash put out the camp fire and went to sleep.
Meanwhile near the campsite
N: Those two have a special connection and I hope their meeting with Reshiram will prove them to the chosen ones. Ash, the Hero of Truth, and Dawn, the Maiden to summon Reshiram. With those two together, nothing will go wrong. Let's go my friend.
Zekrom: Understood!
Zekrom flew off to the north with N on its back.
Morning (11:47 a.m.)
Dawn: Ash, Ash, Ash, Ash. Hmmm come on get up. It's almost noon and you're still asleep. Pikachu would mind waking him up for me?
Pikachu: Pika! (Sure thing) PIKA CHUUUUUU!
Pikachu shocked Ash, causing him to wake up.
Ash: Hey Pikachu, what time is it?
Dawn: Its 11:49 Ash Ketchum, come on and get dressed. We don't want to keep everyone waiting to go to Chargestone Cave to meet Professor Juniper there.
Ash: I forgot.
After a few minutes in the tent changing to his usual outfit. Ash helped Cilan to pack up and left with everyone else to Chargestone Cave.
Ash: So Bianca what are you exactly going to do once we meet up with Professor Juniper near Chargestone?
Bianca: Well she has a Karrablast to trade with my Shelmet and when two people trade those two together they evolve after the trade.
Ash: Wow that sounds so cool.
Dawn: Wait to see them evolve.
After two hours of walking on Route 6, they have finally reach Chargestone Cave and Professor Juniper was seen outside of the cave with her assistants.
Ash: Hey look its Professor Juniper!
Dawn: You're right!
The trainers have met up with Professor Juniper, and Bianca was ready for the trade with her.
Professor Juniper: It good to see again Bianca and same with you Ash and Dawn.
Ash and Dawn: Thanks!
Cilan: Hi I'm Cilan, and I'm a Pokémon Connoisseur.
Iris: And I'm Iris and I'm training to become a Dragon Master.
Professor Juniper: Well it's nice to meet you Iris and Cilan. So Bianca are you ready for the trade?
Bianca: Yeah I'm so excited for this.
Professor Juniper: Alright here's Karrablast.
Professor Juniper called out her Karrablast from its Pokéball.
Ash grabs his Pokédex to scan Karrablast.
Ash's Pokéex: Karrablast, the Clamping Pokémon. Karrablast live in forests and fields, and often hide in trees or grass when threatened. They can also defend themselves by spitting acid.
Bianca calls out her Shelmet too and Dawn scans the Snail Pokémon.
Dawn's Pokédex: Shelmet, the Snail Pokémon. Shelmet closes its shell to protect itself from attacks. It also produces and spits out a poisonous, sticky liquid.
Professor Juniper: Okay return Karrablast!
Bianca: You too Shelmet!
Both of them recalled their Pokémon back into their Pokéballs.
Professor Juniper: Okay just place your Pokéball here, then I'll place mine.
After the two of them place their Pokéballs on the trading machine, Professor Juniper pulled down the switch for the trading to begin.
Dawn: Hey Ash remember when we traded back in Sinnoh?
Ash: Yeah, a day I won't forget.
Iris: What Pokémon you traded?
Ash: I traded my Aipom for her Buizel.
Iris: Oh wow!
Cilan: Look the trading process ended.
Bianca picked up Karrablast's Pokéball.
Bianca: Come on out Karrablast!
Karrablast was released from its Pokéball.
Professor Juniper sent out Shelmet.
When both Pokémon were called out, they both start to glow blue.
Dawn: Their evolving!
When they finished evolving, some of their body features from their pre-evolved form swap with each other.
Ash and Dawn both get their Pokédexes again.
Ash Pokédex: Accelgor, the Shell Out Pokémon, and the evolved form of Shelmet. Accelgor is much more agile once it evolves and loses its shell, allowing it to move like a ninja when battling.
Dawn Pokédex: Escavalier, the Calvary Pokémon, and the evolved form of Karrablast. Escavalier's body is protected by steel armor.
Dawn: That's all it gave me on Escavalier?
Ash: Looks like it.
Professor Juniper: Well the trade was successful.
Bianca: Thank you so much Professor Juniper and I'll be seeing you soon Professor.
Professor Juniper: Same here.
Ash: Where you're going next Bianca?
Bianca: I'm going to Virbank City and Aspertia City for my last two gym battles.
Dawn: Good luck Bianca and best wishes.
Cilan: Same here.
Iris: Goodluck on your gym battles.

Bianca: Thank you all and bye bye!
She dashes off back to Driftveil City to take a boat to Virbank City which is located southwest of Unova.
Professor Juniper: So Ash you'll be taking on the Mistralton Gym, am I correct?
Ash: Yeah that's right.
Professor Juniper: Well here's a map of Chargestone Cave on how to get through without getting lost.
Ash: Wow thanks Professor.
Professor Juniper: No problem and I'll be seeing you all soon.
Professor Juniper and her assistants all left the area with Ash and friends entering Chargestone Cave.
Dawn: Wow this place looks beautiful, look at those stone.
Cilan: Those stones are filled with electricity and the electric type Pokémon that are living in this cave absorb the electricity from the stones.
Ash: Hey Pikachu how about try to absorb the electricity.
Pikachu: PIKA!
Pikachu absorbed the electricity and he feels more energize than before.
Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!
Ash: I'm guessing you like it?
Pikachu: Pikachu! (Nodded its head in agreement)
Piplup than tries to absorb the electricity and gets shock.
Piplup: PIIIIIPLUUUUUPP! (Getting shock from the stones)
Piplup: Pip!
Dawn: Piplup are you okay?
Piplup: Piplup! (Nodded his head)
Dawn: Becareful with theses stones.
Cilan: Hey look someone is over there near those pillars.
Ash: Its N!
The trainers walk up to N and greeted him.
N: Well it's been awhile Ash and Dawn.
Ash: Same here, so what you're doing here?
N: Well my friend told me that I'll see meeting you here and I decided to check on things between you and Dawn.
Ash: Well we're all great and look what I have found.
Dawn: Here you go Ash.
Dawn handed her back pack to Ash and he got the Light Stone.
N: I'm impress that you found it, now you can finally meet Reshiram.
Ash: Well not quite yet, you see Reshiram has spoken to me and I need to get all eight gym badges to prove that I am worthy to challenge it to a battle.
N: I see, well I better get going and good luck on earning those badges and may we meet again soon.
Ash: Thanks and goodluck.
Dawn: Bye.
Cilan: Well I guess we should get out of this cave before we get lost.
Ash: Right, let see. (Checking the map) The exit to Mistralton City is up there to the right.
Iris: Hey I see a light up there.
Dawn: Great let's get out of here.
The trainers have taken a narrow path that leads to the exit and they now exit through the cave.
Dawn: Look Ash, isn't that Mistralton City?
Ash: Yeah, look here a sign "Welcome to Mistralton City"
Our heroes have finally reach Mistralton City and they went to the Pokémon Center to heal up their Pokémon.
Ash asks Nurse Joy for directions to the Mistralton Gym.
Nurse Joy: The Mistralton Gym is located at the airport and the Gym Leader Skyla uses flying type Pokémon only.
Ash: Okay thank you very much Nurse Joy.
Nurse Joy: My pleasure and good luck.
Ash walks back to Dawn, Iris, and Cilan and tells them about the gym.
Cilan: So Skyla uses flying type huh?
Dawn: So I guess Pikachu, Boldore, and Tranquill is the best way to go for the battle.
Ash: Yeah just let me go make a transfer for my Palpitoad for Tranquill with Professor Oak.
Dawn: Okay we'll be waiting here.
Ash went over to the video phone and calls Professor Oak.
Oak's Laboratory (5:07 p.m.)

Ash: Hey Tracey its Ash.
Tracey: Oh hi Ash how is your journey in Unova going for you?
Ash: Very well, I'm at Mistralton City right now for my sixth gym badge and I was wondering where is Professor Oak at.
Tracey: Oh well he left to New Bark Town in Johto to discuss something that Professor Elm discover about a new evolution form of Eevee.
Ash: Wow a new evolution form of Eevee, that sounds so cool.
Tracey: So what did you want to Oak about?

Tracey: Hey Ash is going to need you for a gym battle so you don't mind if put you into your Pokéball?
Tranquill nodded its head left to right.
Tracey: Okay return!
Tranquill was recalled back into her Pokéball and Tracey goes back inside on the video phone.
Tracey: Alright I got Tranquill here for you Ash.
Ash: Thanks and here's Palpitoad's Pokéball.
The two placed the Pokéballs on the tranfering slot and both Pokéballs were successfully transferred over.

Cilan: Look I see the gym over there.
Ash: I see it!
Ash runs toward the gym and when arrived at the front door he sees a sign.
Ash: THE GYM IS CLOSE!
Dawn: Wait up Ash; what's wrong?
Ash: The gym is close till tomorrow.
Cilan: Bummer, looks like we'll be staying in the Pokémon Center.
Iris: Well it's a good thing its close so that you'll have a lot of time to think of a strategy before facing the gym leader.
Ash: Hey you're right, well come on Pikachu let's go to the Pokémon Center and train for tomorrow's match.
He dashes off to the Center with everyone left behind at the front of the gym.
Iris: What a kid.
