Hello everyone!
We are approaching the special chapter more and more, and there are still some things to sort out before reaching Chapter 10.

Thank you all for your reviews, I really appreciate them.

Remember I asked if this story should move up a category? Well I'm making it an M-rated story, but this doesn't mean that I'll write sex scenes from the beginning and swarm the whole thing with them, or that it will be something hardcore, so yeah… No Hardcore Sex Scenes… but I'll try to make it worth your while whenever a scene like this pops up.

Ash's current team: Pikachu, Nidoran (m), Froakie, Gastly, Charizard and Arrow.

Brock's current team: Chansey, Sudowoodo, Onix (he caught another), Golem, Croagunk and Marshtomp.

Dawn's current team: Piplup, Lopunny, Ampere, Pachirisu, Togekiss and Rufflet.

Serena's current team: Fennekin, Burst, Fletchling and Pidgey.

Anyway back to the story!

I've been getting dangerously interested in Sonic's fics… just saying.


The Battle Chateau – Friendships

Our heroes were on the move again, and this time they had reached Camphrier Town.

"We are here guys, the town with the feeling of deep age" said Brock while reading his Guide Book to read more about the town.

As the group walked on the streets to the PokéCenter they couldn't help but notice that some people wore expensive looking clothes or accessories.

"There seems to be a lot of wealthy people here" said Ash

Dawn nodded and looked around trying to find some kind of clue, it was Brock who finally broke their confusion "There will be an event in the Battle Chateau"

"What is that?" asked Ash.

Serena was the one that answered "A Battle Chateau is a place where people can have Pokémon Battles, but they have a policy of only letting wealthy and/or worthy trainers, famous people and such… Usually to enter you need a recommendation from someone who's already in the ranks of Marquis, Marchioness or above"

"It says here that during this event it is advisable to assist prepared, every battle will be fought for honor… and apparently nothing says honor for them more than money" Brock continued reading the guide book, not really paying attention to his surroundings.

"Battle for money? Is it similar to beating gym leaders or participating in any conference or contest?" asked Dawn.

"Not really… the more money the more noticeable you are for people in this event, every battle will award the winner with a monetary prize from the loser, so is not advisable for beginners to participate… it seems like during all week you will be able to have as many battles as you want, and if you reach a certain amount of victories they will give you the title of Duke"

As they entered the PokéCenter Brock bumped into someone else, he looked up from the Guide Book to the person who had blocked his path and got a big surprise "Oh my dear… I must be dreaming!"

There stood a tall girl with black long hair, a purple top tank with some yellow patterns in the sides and black pants with a golden belt "Hello to you too my handsome doctor"

Ash, Serena and Dawn saw Brock hug the girl and lift her from the ground, spinning her around "I can't believe you are here Lucy!"

Dawn and Serena made a double check and exclaimed "She is Lucy!?" They had heard from Ash about the girl, but never did they expect her to be this beautiful.

Ash gave them a slight nod while Pikachu waved a paw at her "Yeah! Nice seeing you again Lucy!"

"Same to you Ash, you've grown a lot since the last time I saw you" Lucy then turned to the girls "Hello there, as you know already my name is Lucy"

"My name is Dawn, is nice to meet Brock's girlfriend"

"Yeah, I thought he was lying… anyway I'm Serena, Ash's girlfriend!" said the honey-blonde girl with a smile while the coordinator agreed with her previous statement.

Lucy just laughed while Brock scolded them for not believing in him, the girls giggling and hugging each other mumbling "scary"

"Anyway, I'm surprised Ash… I didn't know you had it in you to get a girl yourself"

Ash scratched his cheek "Well… I've known her for a very long time…"

"I think Anabel will be disappointed" mumbled to herself the Pike Queen, avoiding being heard by Ash but not by Serena, who tilted her head in confusion but decided to leave it for later.

The black haired trainer proceeded to register his and Serena's room, Dawn registered hers and Brock was about to ask for one but Lucy stopped him "You can stay with me Brock"

"Alright then my beautiful queen, I'll stay by your side tonight!" said the doctor with a chivalrous tone, making Lucy blush.

Once they had settled their stuff Ash and Pikachu went to the training field to practice, Serena took her Pokémons too and followed him.

"Hey Serena, you are going to train too?"

"Yeah… My first race is in Cyllage City and I need to be prepared"

Ash let Charizard out "Hey buddy, could you help Serena train?"

Charizard gave him a thumbs up and approached Serena, Ash gave her a toothy grin "Use his help as you see fit, I can train with him later"

Serena gave him a peck in the lips as a thank you and walked away with Charizard in tow, Ash then released Gastly and Nidoran "Alright guys, let's see how long you have come with those new moves of yours"

Meanwhile Dawn was talking with Lopunny and Ampere about their first showcase "I want to use Togekiss and Rufflet, what do you think?"

Ampere gave her a thumbs up while Lopunny nodded at her, while things seemed to be normal the truth was far from it, Lopunny was weary of Ampere trying to steal Pikachu's attention, which had caused Ampere to strange herself from the male rodent.

The bunny-like Pokémon knew it wasn't fair to Ampere, she knew it wasn't her fault that Pikachu took more interest in her friend, Ampere liked to play around with Pikachu not caring if they were on dirt, grass, mud or water, unlike herself. Lopunny had been invited several times by Pikachu to play with them but she refused, not wanting to get dirty or just preferring to sit around and enjoy the sights.

Pikachu for his part had tried multiple times to ask her about Ampere, but Lopunny denied knowing the reason every time and tried to change topics just for Pikachu to walk away looking depressed.

Dawn watched her two friends for a moment studying them a bit, but her attention was caught by Piplup who had been playing with Pachirisu and almost dropped a few things from the night stand.

"Alright guys, let's go train!"

With Serena.

The girl had asked Charizard to use his wings and create a strong air current, Vento and Fletchling had to fly against the current to strengthen their wings. This idea was appealing to Charizard too, it would let him train his wings too, so he wouldn't have mercy on them.

Vento and Fletchling gulped at Charizard's smirk but got to it nonetheless.

"Now Burst… what to do…"

At that moment Fennekin barked at her trainer and ran to the opposite side of the field, facing Burst and challenging him to a battle.

"Fennekin? You want to battle against Burst?"

The little vixen barked affirmatively at her and got into stance, Serena didn't know what to make of it but still agreed to it "Alright then… just be careful"

("This will be the only way she will understand that I want to battle too… Don't hold back Burst, I need to discover my own strength!")

("You sure? I don't want to hurt you…") the lizard Pokémon was glad that his friend wanted to take this seriously, but she had little experience in combat where he always fought against Ash.

(Don't worry, I'll feel offended if you don't give me your all")

Burst knew she was right, it wasn't cool to hold back against an opponent, he would go all out against Fennekin, giving her a nod that was noticed by Serena, she understood that whatever they said it was over and now were ready.

"Alright, Burst begin with a Dragon Pulse!"

Fennekin saw it coming quickly, once the attack was within range she front-flipped above it, dodging the hit perfectly.

Serena was surprised by this, she never knew Fennekin could move like that "Burst use Ancient Power into Flamethrower!"

Fennekin saw the stones coming and dodged while jumping around, seeing the Flamethrower being directed at her she activated Protect to negate the damage.

Once again this had surprised Serena, Fennekin could actually battle!

Fennekin by her part couldn't believe that she was doing so good herself, all the training she had received from Froakie on speed had actually paid off, and learning that Protect from him certainly helped even more.

For two weeks she had snuck out during Serena's training or in the middle of the night along with Froakie to train, they would mostly train in speed and her Psychic powers, but the thing she looked forward the most was Froakie's After-training Frubbles Treatment as she liked to call it.

Burst had mixed feelings… pride because the vixen Pokémon had actually managed to dodge his attacks with ease, and annoyance, because his friend was dodging every attack! How the heck had she managed to get this good was something he didn't know nor had time to dwell on as Fennekin dodged another attack and launched a Psybeam.

Serena took out her PokéDex and scanned her Fennekin for the first time since they started their journey, it showed that her speed had improved a lot, being faster than Burst and maybe Fletchling in a bad day, but what caught her attention was a pair of new moves on her set, at first her Fennekin had Flamethrower, Hypnosis, Tail Whip and Scratch.

But now she had Protect and Dream Eater, something she definitely didn't taught to her "How in heavens did she learn that?"

Meanwhile with Ash, Gastly was dodging Nidoran's attacks when he sneezed suddenly.

Ash stopped the training and approached the ghost Pokémon "Are you feeling alright? I didn't know ghost Pokémon could catch colds"

Gastly assured him that he was ok and they continued training.

Back with Serena, she was being more serious on her commands, Burst had also decided stop holding back and had begun to really try to hit Fennekin with no success.

Fennekin for her part was getting tired of dodging while Burst was getting exhausted of launching attacks, this certainly was a good training session for him, not only was his own speed improving but his aiming too.

At that moment Serena noticed Dawn walking to her and paused the training.

"I see Fennekin is doing pretty good"

"Hey Dawn, yeah she has improved a lot…"

Dawn had seen some of the moves Fennekin used to dodge "You know… the way she moves reminds me of a coordinator Pokémon" commented the Coordinator while taking a look at the moves Fennekin had on Serena's Dex.

"Really?" Asked Serena looking at her Pokémon again, the coordinator nodded and gave her a smile.

"What do you say if I help you? Let's have a battle…" She walked to Fennekin's side and faced Serena "…me and Fennekin against you and Burst"

The sky-rider thought about it and gave her friend a slight nod "Let's do this!"

"Fennekin start with Flamethrower!" Fennekin did as Dawn asked and launched her attack.

"Dodge and use Dragon Pulse!"

Burst did as told and dodged the vixen's attack, launching one of her own.

"Fennekin dodge and Hypnosis!"

Fennekin jumped out of the way and her eyes shun a light blue, Burst began feeling tired, his eyes closed and sleep claimed him "Burst you have to wake up!"

"Fennekin use Dream Eater!" The vixen's eyes shun a bright red now and Burst started to shake, after a few moments his eyes were swirly.

Fennekin couldn't believe it, she had won! Yipping happily she ran to Serena and jumped into her arms, the sky-rider returned Burst and scratched Fennekin's ears "I can't believe we couldn't hit you even once… I don't know how you did it but I'm proud of you"

Dawn approached the two of them and smiled "I can train Fennekin to battle like a Pokémon coordinator if you want, that way she could find new ways to use her powers and battle with them"

"That sounds great… but I don't want to separate from her…"

"Oh I didn't meant it like that! I wouldn't want to separate you two either, I'm just offering a way to teach her use her talent and help you with your gym battles, I've seen you are more experienced on training Flying types but have a hard time figuring a good training routine for Burst or Fennekin" explained Dawn.

Serena knew she was right and looked at her Pokémon "What do you say Fennekin? Would you like to learn to battle with style like a coordinator?"

Fennekin barked in agreement and Dawn cheered too "And if you battle Ash and win you will teach that dimwit that a Coordinator Pokémon can battle as well as any other!"

"So is a win – win for you huh?" asked Serena giggling at her friend's antics.

"You bet!"

The honey-blonde girl smiled and asked "How is your training by the way?"

Dawn let a sigh escape her lips "Well…"

She let out Togekiss and Rufflet "Let's try our combo once more!" She took out a small music player and put her selected track for the incoming Showcase, as Togekiss spun in the air above her trainer, Rufflet was supposed to use Sky Drop and pass between Togekiss and Dawn while they danced but instead hit Togekiss with his wings.

Togekiss barely felt the hit and rushed to help her friend, Dawn kneeled at his side too and checked him. Rufflet was getting exasperated because he was making no progress as always.

("Don't worry Rufflet, you will do better next time!") Tried to cheer Togekiss.

Rufflet just sighed and looked at her ("I don't think I'm done for this…")

("Nonsense! You just need more work and you will do it, I'm sure!")

He was about to say something when something caught his attention, it was Fletchling and Vento flying in the sky at full speed while Charizard threw flamethrowers at them ("… they are so fast") mumbled the bird Pokémon with awe.

Togekiss had heard him and looked at him in worry… surely he wouldn't… nah it must be just her imagination.

Dawn noticed Rufflet watching the other two flying types do their training but decided to stay quiet.

Serena looked at her Pokémon and Charizard and quickly ran to them with raised fist "Hey! I didn't tell you to start the dodging training yet!"

The aspiring performer saw her friend scold even Ash's Charizard and couldn't help but laugh "Who would have thought that even Charizard would be scared of her when she gets mad"

A few hours later everyone had finished training and were now getting ready to dine, Ash had finished changing while Serena was finishing a bath, Dawn along with Brock and Lucy were waiting for them in the dining area of the PokéCenter.

"So what are your plans Brock?" asked Lucy.

"Well, is mostly up to the guys if they want to stay and participate in the event or get going, I might be their friend but they are also my contractors, so I abide by their word" answered Brock professionally.

Dawn shook her head "Come on Brock you made us sound like tyrants, you know we also listen to you for anything, if there is something you want to do just name it, I'm sure Ash and Serena will be fine with it"

"We are"

Everyone turned to the entrance to see Ash and Serena approaching holding hands.

"You my friend offend me, Brock, do you really think I would say no to whatever it is you want to do or wherever you want to go? You are like my older brother for Arceus sake!"

Brock just laughed it off and shook his head slowly "Then why don't we enter the event at the Battle Chateau? I went there with Lucy this evening and found out that, for being a former gym leader, I'm automatically entitled as a Marquis"

Lucy smiled at him "And I'm a Marchioness for being a Battle Frontier, so I'm allowed entrance too"

Ash was not too thrilled about going there, he didn't fight for money after all… but he had just told his friend he wouldn't say no… "Ok, but is there a reason you want to go?"

Brock nodded slightly "This event only allows trainers with the rank of Marquis, Marchioness and above, this level of trainer are usually strong… but there is also wealthy people who are on those ranks just for heritance or their long time assisting the Chateau"

Lucy smiled and continued "That means that some of them are actually very well invested monetary talking, now I know you guys aren't interested on that kind of things, but…"

Brock scratched his cheek nervously "Well… the think is… when Ash told me about this job I thought it would be just so I could travel with him again, but he was serious and I kind of started to feel bad for being paid by my best friend… not like is a bad pay, I'd say is the opposite actually, it is too good for the little things I feel I do"

"Come on bro, everything you do is important to us, not only because you are our Doctor, but because you are our friend" said Ash.

"I know, the thing is… well… Lucy and I were talking before I came to Kalos and…" Brock seemed very nervous, Lucy took his hand and looked at their three friends.

"Brock and I decided to marry"

"Eehh!?" The three trainers yelled with disbelief, but it was Ash who recovered first and asked.

"How long have you guys been going out?"

Lucy smiled and answered "About a year and two months actually, we met again when he arrived at Pewter City, and I was trying to see the museum exposition held there, but there was a problem and my Seviper got sick, it was Brock who nursed her back to health and I learned that he wanted to become a Doctor, and after a few weeks we were dating"

Dawn giggled at the romantic story "That sounds more like it, that's a better love story about a reencounter than these two had"

Serena and Ash blushed at this and Lucy smirked "Why don't you tell us about it?"

"I'll give you a summary of the whole thing, the guy here saw her and kissed her in the lips and she kissed back" said Dawn with an impish look.

Ash looked at her in annoyance "It was your idea Mrs. Romance Expert"

Serena was blushing a scarlet red but tried to defend her boyfriend "It wasn't that bad, besides we knew each other already and… hmm…"

"A-anyway, you are going to take a big step guys, I'm happy for you two" said Ash trying to change topic.

Serena noticed his intentions and helped him "Y-yeah… have you thought of a date yet?"

"We are going to wait until your journey ends, part of the plan was to save money for the ceremony and get a nice and cozy place to live" answered Lucy

Brock looked at Ash at that moment "And I would be glad if you accepted to be my best man"

"I would be honored Brock" answered Ash who earned a congratulation from Serena and Dawn.

The sky-rider-in-training then looked at Brock "Then I suppose you want to take advantage of the event and earn as much money as you can, right?"

"It was Lucy's idea actually but I'm not against it if it helps" answered Brock"

The three trainers shared a look and then gave each other a slight nod "Then we will participate too, it will be good for training"

Serena and Dawn nodded slightly and decided to call it a day.

The Next day.

It was morning and everyone was getting ready to leave, Pikachu decided to go outside with Gastly and Nidoran to play a bit when he noticed Ampere walking out of her room.

("Hey Ampere!")

The female Pikachu turned to see her friend rushing to her, at first she was hesitant to stay but Pikachu had been faster this time and caught up with her ("Hey Pikachu, everything ok?")

("Not really… I feel like you've been avoiding me all this time… heck I don't even think I'm imagining it") said Pikachu with his ears down.

("I just… I have been busy with practice and stuff…") excused Ampere.

At that moment the Dawn's door opened again and Lopunny walked out with Dawn, noticing Pikachu talking with Ampere.

It was Nidoran who noticed Ampere's demeanor change and Lopunny's reaction at seeing her with Pikachu.

The male yellow rodent greeted Lopunny and Dawn, the second returned it with a smile "Good morning to you too Pikachu" at that moment she let Piplup out of his ball along Pachirisu who greeted their friends.

("Hey guys do you want to play for a bit?") Asked Pikachu animatedly.

("Of course big bro!") Agreed Pachirisu joining Pikachu's side.

Piplup decided to join too and looked at Ampere and Lopunny ("Are you coming too?")

Lopunny was the first to answer ("And get exhausted? Can't we just enjoy the morning breeze?")

Pachirisu just rolled his eyes ("Party pooper")

Pikachu chuckled but gave the younger rodent a slight punch in the head ("Don't be like that, if she doesn't want to join then there is no problem")

Lopunny smiled and thanked Pikachu ("Why don't you join me Pikachu? We could relax together…")

("Nah… sitting around is just not my thing, I'll go with the guys to explore a little…") he looked at Ampere and smirked ("… are you coming? Or are you scared of getting lost")

Ampere smirked back at him and was about to accept when she felt Lopunny's piercing stare on her back and decided against it ("I think I'll pass… I hmmm I want to stay with Dawn and…")

Nidoran not being one to shut up interrupted ("Does this have to do with lady bunny not wanting you to get close to her crush?")

Everyone looked at him, but it was Pachirisu who made it worse ("So you caught on that too? Haha I wasn't the only one!")

Dawn observed the Pokémon start to get agitated, something was going on and she couldn't understand a word of it "Hey guys… something wrong?"

It was as if Pikachu's question was asked by Dawn and once again answered by Nidoran who looked at the Coordinator knowing that she wouldn't understand but still telling her ("Yeah! Every time Pikachu tries to talk with Ampere she ignores him or rejects him like some kind of pokérus, and every time this happens it seems like lady bunny is trying burn a big sign of 'go away!' on her")

Lopunny angrily denied this tried to make Nidoran to shut up but Gastly decided to talk too ("I thought you had noticed it Pikachu")

Pikachu didn't want to believe it, they were his friends, right? Then why would Lopunny make Ampere stay away like that?

("T-that's no true! I… I just… didn't feel like playing all those times")

Pachirisu stood in front of Pikachu and looked at Ampere, who had tried to defend Lopunny ("That's a lot of crap, Lopunny is afraid that Pikachu might fall for Ampere instead of her, that's why Ampere has stayed away, she doesn't want Lopunny to be mad at her")

It dawned on Pikachu all of a sudden, so that was all about ("All of this because… I can't believe it…") he turned around and started walking back to his room.

Lopunny walked to her crush and tried to apologize but was interrupted by the male rodent ("Save it… I really don't want to believe that what t they are saying is the truth… I'm not something that someone can own just like that…")and with that he ran back to his room.

Dawn didn't know what they had said exactly, but the look in Lopunny's eyes and the worry on Ash's Pokémon had said it all "Oh my god…"

It was at that moment that Ash and Serena got out of their room, Pikachu was on Ash's shoulder but he was ignoring everyone, Fennekin was on Serena's shoulder not even aware of what was going on, she had never seen Pikachu look so serious before.

"Hey Dawn… do you know what happened to Pikachu?" asked Ash

"Sort of…" Answered the coordinator, Serena looked at her friend and her eyes widened.

Dawn nodded slightly at seeing her friend's look "yeah… Serena will tell you everything Ash… I have to talk with my Pokémon"

At that moment Brock and Lucy walked out of their room, Lucy was about to greet everyone when she noticed the tension in the air, it was Brock who decided to break the ice "Good morning everyone, are you ready to go?"

Ash and Dawn returned their Pokémon and nodded at him while Serena answered "Yeah, let's get moving"

The group started walking out of the PokéCenter and to the Battle Chateau, on the way Serena made her boyfriend stay behind the group out of hearing range and explained what she knew to Ash about Lopunny's crush on Pikachu, something that wasn't new to the trainer, and Ampere's closeness to him.

Ash could understand now why his friend was so pissed, he would too if Serena stopped talking to him because another girl was interested in him.

"Don't worry Pikachu I'm sure Ampere will talk to you again very soon, just don't lose hope on the girl you like"

Serena looked at Ash with confusion "Wait, are you saying that Pikachu likes 'likes' Ampere? Where did you get that?"

Ash just laughed it out "Come on Serena I've known Pikachu for a very long time, I know he likes Ampere like something more than friends because he wouldn't be this upset about her not talking to him… if it were another female he wouldn't care"

Now Pikachu was the one confused, Ash was right in that he cared about Ampere… but was it like that?

Meanwhile Dawn was walking in front of the group out of hearing range too, talking to Ampere and Lopunny "I don't know what happened back there, but this has to stop Lopunny, Pikachu has a right to choose"

Lopunny knew her trainer was right, she looked at Ampere who was looking at the ground in that moment and approached her ("I'm so sorry Ampere… I let my jealousness get the better of me and ended hurting you, Dawn is right…")

Ampere shook her head and smiled at her friend ("But you never asked me to stay away from him… sure your looks could have killed me in the spot, but hey! We are talking about your crush, besides I don't like him like that, he is just a friend")

Lopunny raised an eyebrow and tilted her head ("Is he?")

("Of course! He might be a good friend and very friendly, and maybe stronger than any other Pikachu I've known, trust me I know a few, and he might be good looking… and honest just like his trainer…")

Lopunny just listened Ampere's description about Pikachu and a small smirk graced her lips ("And yet you say you don't like him? Yeah I guess you are right… you love him")

("What? No!") Denied Ampere strongly.

Lopunny just let a sigh escape her lips and smiled at her ("Is ok Ampere I'm not giving up yet, but I think you should be more honest with yourself too, you are absolutely smitten by him, otherwise you wouldn't miss being around him that much")

Ampere looked at her friend for a moment and thought about it ("But I don't like him like that… I'm not in love with him…") then she turned around and saw him talking to Froakie and Fennekin animatedly, and couldn't help but notice a strange warm on her nose and cheeks ("…am I?")

("I won't give up Ampere… may the best female win his affection") muttered to herself the bunny-like Pokémon

Dawn saw Lopunny look at her and give her a smile, the coordinator let a sigh of relief and smiled at her Pokémon too "I'm glad you girls could sort this out"

After a few moments the group reached the Chateau.

"Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Hennessy and I welcome you to the Battle Chateau" greeted them at the doors a man with expensive-looking attire and formal speech "Are you here for the event?"

At this the group nodded and introduced themselves to the older man, who explained a few more rules to the event "Our big event will be hold here all the week, but that means that no one will be allowed to get out of the Chateau until everything is done with, We will provide you with a room and your meals"

"That's fantastic, I would like to enter then" said Ash.

Hennessy then asked them for their rank but when they announced that it was their first time his face turned into one of disappointment "I'm sorry for saying this but only Marquis, Marchioness and above are allowed to the event"

Lucy showed him her certificate as a Battle Frontier and the old man smiled "Oh my… that means you are above the rank of Gym Leader, which allows you to enter the Rank of Marchioness automatically"

Brock then showed him his certificate as the former Gym Leader of Pewter City signed by Mr. Goodshow "Another Gym leader, this is splendid!"

Ash took out his PokéDex and pressed some buttons, it then showed an hologram with his information as the champion of the Sinnoh League and first victor of the Kanto Battle Frontier "That is amazing young man, this year we will have very strong trainers after all… you are granted the title of Marquis too, but I'm sure that with your level of skills you will go up in the ranks in no time"

Dawn showed him her certificate as a Top Coordinator and winner of the Kanto Grand Festival, but Hennessy shook his head slightly "I'm sorry ma'am but those kind of achievements are just enough for the level of Viscount"

This disappointed the girl greatly, Serena was just granted the title of Baroness by Ash's recommendation but that wasn't enough either.

Now they didn't know what to do until Serena had an idea "Hey guys, you should enter the event, that will give me enough time to train with Dawn, and she still has to improve her recipes and work on a routine for her first Showcase"

"That's true, that way you guys get a week of training while we catch up" agreed Dawn.

"I don't know…" Ash seemed reluctant about being away from Serena, but she just giggled and kissed his cheek.

"This will help Pikachu get some time to cool down" added the Sky-rider in training. The raven haired trainer just sighed and nodded in agreement.

The group said their goodbyes and while Brock, Lucy and Ash walked into the building, Dawn and Serena went back to the road.

"Let's retrieve our stuff from the PokéCenter" said Dawn, this caught Serena's attention.

"Why?"

"Because we are going to the beach!" that was right, Ambrette Town was the next town, they could just take a bus and reach by the end of the night.

Serena then remembered that in Ambrette Town was a special place to train sky-rider too and agreed to the idea "Let's hurry up then!"

And with that both girls started running to the PokéCenter, anxious to see which kind of adventures would wait for them in the next town.

This story will continue!


Kanto Region – Cerulean City Gym.

"Misty you got a mail!"

Said girl looked at her sister and rushed to the door to see her with a letter in hand "Who send it?"

Her sister Daisy handed it to her and shook her head "I don't know, the front just have your name and our address"

Tearing the envelopment the girl started reading the letter and her eyes widened in surprise.
