"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"How about now?"

"No."

"What about now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"No."

"How about-"

"May, get your brother to be quiet!"

"Max, be quiet!"

"I was just asking if we were there yet…"

"Well we're not. We're at Rand's house now. Just a couple more hours and we'll be at the bridge to Mitonga."

"Ash, I think everyone's tired…we should take a break…" Said May. Ash, his Pokemon and Hana turned around and saw everyone look like they were going to collapse.

"Man, you guys are out of shape. Fine. We can set up camp."

"Wait, we don't have sleeping bags!" Said Brock.

"Did you even think about that before you sneaked on board Haruba's ship?"

"We thought we would be in a village…"

"I thought you were supposed to be the smart one Brock…I have a blanket that's big enough for 4 people but that's it. I think Drew should sleep in the mud, Iris sleep in the trees…"

"HEY!"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you where to sleep?"

"Yes Ketchum. But I think you should change what you said…"

"Why? The mud suits you. Oh that's right. You're a rich city boy. You can sleep on the grass with May, Tracey and Misty under the blanket. Dawn, Gary, Cilan and Brock can sleep where I'll be sleeping, Max, you're small enough to sleep under the blanket. No objections. Now I'll go get firewood, Brock can you set up camp? Meowth, Pikachu, Hana, Espeon, watch over them to make sure they don't do something stupid. Don't worry, Sceptile and Lucario are with me." Ash left before anyone had time to speak.

Brock and Cilan just started getting things ready. Dawn went to Meowth.

"Meowth, where are me, Gary, Brock, Cilan, Hana and Ash sleeping?"

"Up there." Meowth pointed upwards. Dawn looked up along with everyone else and saw a treehouse.

"A treehouse!" Shouted Dawn!

"We can see that." Said Drew.

"Hana, Ralph and Nema built it. They had some help from Boss and Rand though."

"Why do they get to sleep up there?" Asked Drew angrily.

"Because he gave you da best places that would suit you all better. The couples are together, Iris likes to sleep wit nature, and the others are more civilized I guess."

"What do you mean by that!?" Asked Misty.

"Cilan is a gym leader and connoisseur, Brock's a doctor, and Dawn is a fashion designer and top coordinator. And they helped the boss when he returned so, yeah."

"Okay…wait, what did Cilan do?" Asked Iris and everyone looked at Cilan who sweat dropped.

"I helped him and he helped me with some private matters." Everyone just nodded.

"Hey Cilan." Cilan jumped as he thought he was the only one up at 1 am.

"Hi Ash."

"So how do you like Oblivia so far?"

"It's amazing. It really is a splendid region."

"Hey Cilan, I noticed something…"

"And that is?"

"You don't use flavours in your speech as often as you used to. I mean, that was 10 years ago and people change but, that was something that was you."

"I guess I just had my mind on something else…"

Ash looked at him in confusion. Cilan wasn't one to get distracted from Pokemon unless…Ash smirked.

"Something?"

"Y-yes…"

"Are you sure it's not 'someONE?'"

Cilan turned red and Ash knew he got it right.

"I knew it! You like Iris!"

"How did you know?"

"I just figured it out. You know, despite her talk, she's as dense as I was 10 years ago. She can't see a hint that's towards her unless you say it right to her face."

"Are you suggesting-"

"That's right. Just confess to her when you're alone. She feels the same way you do. I could just tell from her aura. 10 years you felt this way, but she didn't. But being reunited with you at the Championship Tournament, she found her feelings. Just trust me."

"Alright…Thanks Ash. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know!"

"Actually, there's one thing."

"And that is?"

"You received a parcel 7 years ago."

"Yes, how did you know? Or did you send me-"

"Yes I did. You know what was inside right?"

"A letter. And an Enigma Stone…"

"I want it back. I sent it to you because back then, there was a small threat in Oblivia who had the Enigma Stone. I stole it, sent it to you because no one would expect it and killed this threat. With that threat gone, I can return it."

"Why did you wait 7 years though?"

"How could I have gotten it back? Without revealing myself and this region."

"I guess…"

"I assume you showed your brothers?"

"Yes…"

"Okay. When we get to a Save Program, ask them to use the Item Transfer and send it over. There's one in Tilt Village on Mitonga Island."

"Okay Ash."

With Ash…

"I think this is enough, what do you two think?"

"Scep!"

"It's enough master."

"Alright. Let's head back then." Just then a Hydro Pump was shot out of a nearby lake and barely missed Ash. Ash dropped his firewood and turned around and saw a Dragonite.

"Lucario, how come we didn't sense its aura!?"

"I don't know master, something is odd about that Dragonite."

"It's still a Pokemon. It can't match me! Sceptile Solarbeam, Lucario Aura Sphere!"

The two Pokemon used their attacks that hit Dragonite but when the smoke cleared, it was just flying with no injuries.

"Impossible!" Shouted Ash.

"That is no ordinary Dragonite master!"

"Same attacks again!" Commanded Ash.

Same thing repeated.

"Sceptile FRENZY PLANT!"

This time the Dragonite fired a Hyper Beam and it was almost equal to Frenzy Plant, but Sceptile over powered it and hit Dragonite causing it to start falling from the sky.

"It still has energy. Lucario jump and use Close Combat!"

"RA!"

The Dragonite then fell in the water very injured. Lucario was able to land on the ground.

Ash and Lucario closed their eyes and tried to sense Dragonite. He opened his eyes and they were wide.

"It has no aura!"

Dragonite came from underneath the water and used a surprise Hyper Beam hitting Lucario, Sceptile and Ash.

"What…is that Dragonite? A Pokemon that has no aura!? Sceptile use Frenzy Plant again, when you get the chance Lucario go for the Ice Punch!"

Dragonite was still weak from the previous attacks and ended up being defeated. It fell in the water. Despite his cuts, Ash jumped in the water where Dragonite fell in and ignored the pain of his cuts stinging. He then saw the Dragonite just disappear. Ash quickly swam to back to the surface and saw Lucario and Sceptile looking at him, panting heavily.

"It just disappeared…It couldn't have been a Pokemon could it?"

"I don't know master. It had no aura, but it had the qualities of a Dragonite. But for it to just disappear…"

Ash looked up to the sky. "It's getting late. We should bring back the firewood."

"Scep!" "Yes master."

CilanxIris. I am not a fan of that pairing but I don't hate it. I think the only reason I put it there was because my past self (aka the self that just finished Infinite Battles) wanted all the characters to be paired up. Now that I look back at that idea, it is kind of weird but I'll work around it. Cavaliershipping and Orangeshipping are the only certain ones at this point. Advanceshipping is a must, and will probably start sometime after chapter 7 or 8. Those who hate Drew will hate him even more.
