Pokémon: The Prism League Chapter 11: Pokémon Worlds Collide
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon.
1 months until the Prism League
After over a year of training, months of strengthening his team, weeks of refining his abilities and days of waiting, Ash Ketchum now faced a four hour flight. "This is taking FOREVER!" Ash's excitement had finally caused him to loss it after only two hours on the plane that was taking him and his friends to Hajime Island where the Prism League was going to be held.
The flight they had taken was very early, to the point that the group had watched the sunrise from the Pallet Town docks incenting members of the group like Gary, Tracy, Luke, May, Molly, and even they always fully of energy Bianca(Unova) to sleep on the way there. Max was currently reading a book in an attempt to pass the time. Stephan, Cilan, Iris and Bianca(Johto) had opted for a game of cards with each other. Dawn, Misty and Brock had been trying to hold a conversation when Ash's outburst happened
"Ash, freaking out about it isn't going to get us there any sooner, so quit your whining." Misty scolded from her seat in the row in front of Ash.
"And stop tapping your foot, your're making me anxious." Dawn beseeched listing to the sound of the trainer's feet repeatedly hit the floor over and over.
"I can't, I've been waiting so long for this and now that it's here I can't hold myself back anymore." Ash replied.
"It's only another two hours." Brock informed.
"It only took two hours to make him this worked up, another two he might actually go crazy." May groaned having been woken up and turned around to talk to Brock one row back.
"Yeah good point." Brock sweat-dropped.
"Well I'm right there with you Ash, I've been waiting to long for this so I'm ready to go right now." Stephan joined in his friend's enthusiasm.
"They are such kids." Iris groaned.
"They're passionate to say the least." Cilan laughed.
"Hey Brock I've been wondering what is this place we're going to Hajime Island?" Dawn asked turning to Brock.
"It's actually the perfect place to hold a competition this important." Brock began.
"Why is that?" Dawn asked.
"Because it's basically where the Pokémon world as we know it today began." Brock answered getting everyone's attention even the impatient Ash.
"How's that possible?" Dawn questioned wanting to know more.
"It was on Hajime Island that the technology for the very first pokeball was created and today that's where the Pokeball Control System is located."
"Pokeball Control System?"
"Yes it's the system that monitors and maintains the functions of every pokeball on the planet, controlling everything from enlarging a pokeball to catching a Pokémon and transporting them."
"Wow that's pretty cool." Ash said, his interest sparked.
"Yep, that's also the reason that the Pokémon League's main headquarters is located on Hajime Island." Brock continued.
"What?" Ash said now very surprised.
"The Pokémon League was founded there as well, just after the creation of pokeballs."
"Wow, a lot of really important things came from that island then." Dawn said impressed.
"Yeah, that's where the name comes from, Hajime Island, The Island of Beginnings."
"That's awesome, I get to battle where the Pokémon League first started, now I really can't wait to get there." Ash said his excitement only continuing to build until a strong blow to his head left him slumped in his seat with his eyes spinning.
"Sorry Ash, but we're not putting up with another two hours of that." Misty said with a mallet slung over her shoulder.
"Ok, wake me when we get there." Ash said in a dazed voice before finally losing consciousness.
The next two hours passed by much quicker with Ash taking a mallet induced nap leaving everyone to their own way to pass the time until a large mass of land came into sight on the horizon.
"Hey look everybody!" Max said looking up from his book out a window and saw their destination in sight.
Everyone looked out their windows to see the approach to the island. "We're finally here." Dawn said as the Mountains covering the shore grew larger.
The plane had finally made its decent waking Ash. "What happened?" Ash asked still disoriented.
"We're here." Brock informed his friend.
"What, we are? Ash's excitement instantly returned as he looked out the window and saw the plane had landed. "Alright!"
"The silence was nice while it lasted." Said Misty.
After the group left from the docks they found themselves in a vast city covering the span of several miles, tall building filled every block dominating the skyline while a large tower with a red pokeball symbol shoot high into the sky from the center of the city ruling over the metropolis.
"Here we are, Hajime City." Brock announced to his friends as they walked the streets.
"Wow this place is incredible." Dawn marveled at the urban wonders around her.
"This city could almost makes places like LaRousse City look mundane." May agreed.
"I've heard that this city was something, but I never expected this." Gary said impressed.
"Well this is just what I was expecting a big city for a big competition." Stephan said eagerly.
"Speaking of which, where are we suppose to go for registration?" Ash asked hoping someone had an idea.
"That big tower might be a good place to start." Bianca(Unova) suggested pointing to the most dominate building of the city.
"Hold up a second Bianca, that's the Pokémon League main headquarters." Brock stopped the energetic girl before she could take off running.
"So that's where the Pokémon League started." Ash said looking to the tower amazed.
"Yep that's where the Pokémon League first began, where every major decision the League makes has been finalized and where the Pokeball Control System monitors every pokeball on the planet right down to the ones we're carrying right now."
"That's really cool." Said May.
"Yeah it is, but we still don't know where we're suppose to go." Dawn reminded the group.
"Actually I have a pretty good idea where to go." Brock stepped in again. "The League stadiums are suppose to be just outside the city."
"Well it makes sense that registration would be at the stadium." Misty agreed.
"And seeing as Hajime City has lived up to what I heard, the stadium is going to be pretty amazing.
"Then that's where we're headed!" Ash confirmed.
Outside the city the island showed a number a natural wonders from grassy meadows to tall mountains and thick forests. "Come on pick up the pace." Ash called to his friends as Bianca, Stephan and himself lead the charge up the path that would lead to their destination.
"Those three sure are something." Dawn watched as the three leaders continued up the hill.
"Piplup Piplup." (They sure are.) Piplup said from atop his trainer's head.
"That something is crazy." Misty huffed.
"Do you think they know that the stadium isn't going anywhere?" Bianca(Johto) asked.
"If I had to guess, no." Max answered plainly.
"I think the only thing on their minds right now is getting to registration." Brock laughed.
"What was your first clue?" Misty asked lacing the question in sarcasm.
Ash, Stephan and Bianca(Unova) reached the top of the hill and immediately stopped in their tracks. "What's up with them?" May asked wondering what could have stopped the three eager trainers. Everyone joined the front runners at the top of the hill and were met with the same sight. In the valley below was what appered to be a town and at the far end were eight enormous stadiums the largest in the middle colored white and seven smaller ones surrounding it each a different color of the rainbow.
"There it is." Ash said almost in a whisper.
"The Pokémon League Stadium." Molly said in a hushed tone.
"The very first stadiums made for office Pokémon battles." Brock informed his friends of yet another fact.
"Brock you were right, it is amazing." May said with her gaze still fixed on the stadiums.
"And if they look this cool from far away, image what they look like on the inside." Said Max.
"I say we head up close for a better look." Stephan purposed.
"Yeah lets go!" Ash exclaimed before taking off down the road headed for the stadium.
"I think I'm up for running this time." Dawn admitted, being just as excited as Ash to see the stadium.
"Yeah me to." Misty agreed.
"Well you all heard Ash, let's go!" Brock said leading the group as they charged after Ash.
The group had run the entire way to the bottom of the valley and now stood under an archway at the beginning the town that read Trainer's Village. "We finally made it!" Bianca (Unova) cheered.
"This is awesome!" Said Stephan.
"I am so psyched!" Ash proclaimed.
"Well now that we're here lets get you three over to registration." Brock suggested to break the three trainers out of their trance.
The group entered Trainer's Village finding the main streets were filled foods stalls and game booths with countless trainers joined by their Pokémon. "Here we are at the Trainer's Village on Hajime Island sight of the Prism League as a steady number of trainers arrive to take part in this monumental competition." Luke had set up his Camera and given it to his Golett and was now giving a rundown of their arrive so far. "And here we have three of the competitors now." Luke then walked over to Ash. Stephan and Bianca(Unova). "Please tell us how you're feeling."
"I feel totally amazing, being here has gotten me even more pumped to be apart of the Prism League then ever." Ash said to camera.
Stephan pushed Ash out of frame taking the center for himself. "I'm feel so ready for the Prism League to start I could battle everyone here right now."
Stephan was then knock out of frame by Bianca(Unova) "I'm so excited to be here that I wish the Prism League would start right now." Bianca said giggling.
While Luke interviewed Ash, Bianca and Stephan the others were taking notice of the arenas around the area. "These stadiums are gigantic." May stated looking to the closest one.
"I know, even these smaller ones are bigger then any arena I've ever seen." Dawn stared up at the stadium causing Piplup to almost fall off her head.
"Given the grand scale of this competition an equally grand battlefield would be needed to keep from peoples expectations falling short." Cilan
"Well this sure is more impressive then what I was expecting." Iris admitted.
"They are pretty amazing but it's the main stadium we want for registration, right Brock?" Misty asked the breeder.
"Right, so lets get a move on." Brock advised.
Continuing on Ash and his friend now stood outside the center stadium also know as the Prism Stadium. Some were left completely speechless by the enormous structure that reached over twelve stories high. "Wow, it's even more amazing up close." Molly said unable to see the top of the stadium.
"That's putting it mildly." Said Max.
Once inside the stadium the group found Nurse Joy behind the front desk registering trainers for the tournament. "Hello, how may I help?" Nurse Joy asked as Ash and his friends walked up.
"My dear Nurse Joy, perhaps you could help me by filling the void in my heart that only your love could heal." Brock stated emotionally while taking hold of Joy's hand.
"Is something wrong with Brock?" Bianca(Unova) asked watching the breeder fawn over Nurse Joy.
"A better question would be what's right with Brock." Iris said shaking her head.
"Can it lover boy! Max said grabbing one of Brock's ears causing him to cringe in pain.
"The kind of help you need isn't medical it's mental." Misty said taking hold of his other ear.
Brock yelped in pain as a powerful Poison Jab struck him. "Now I could use some medical attention." Brock groaned before falling to the ground revealing the culprit to be none other than Crogunk.
"Does that happen a lot?" Luke asked watching Brock get dragged away by the two trainers and his own Pokémon.
"More than you can imagine." Tracy replied.
"Nurse Joy, we'd like to register for Prism League." Ash said stepping up with Bianca (Unova) and Stephan.
"Then please place your prism pokeballs and pokedexs on the scanners." Nurse Joy said pointing to the small screens on the desk, one was rectangular matching the size of a pokedex and above that was a circular scanner for the prism pokeballs. Ash Bianca and Stephan each took a free set of scanners placing their pokedex and then their pokeball down. The scanners activated causing light to shine through all three prism pokeballs before disappearing as they would in a transporter. "Perfect, all three prism pokeballs have been verified and each pokedex has been registered, the three of you are now entered in the Prism League."
"Alright!" All three trainers cheered before giving each other a high-five.
After leaving registration Ash and his friends headed to a grouping of hotels past the stadiums and entered the one they had been assigned to, building K.
"Wow!" The entire group stared wide-eyed at the impressive lobby of their hotel.
"This is my kind of place." May said looking around.
"Just what I was thinking." Dawn agreed.
"It looks like we're the only ones here right now." Tracy said taking notice of the building's empty state.
"It's still early in the day, we might be the first ones assigned to this hotel." Bianca(Johto) assumed.
"Probably, so lets live it up while we have the place to ourselves, lets see what there is to do around here." Gary suggested.
"According to the guidebook we got, the top five floors are the trainer's rooms, the sixth floor is a fully equipped gym, and the bottom floor is the main lobby, dinning area and there's even a swimming pool." Brock informed the group while reading the guidebook they had received at registration.
"Well I could defiantly go for a swim." Misty said right away.
"Me to!" Both May and Dawn agreed.
"It has been a long trip, we could all do with a break." Cilan pointed out.
"I don't know about you guys but I'm to pumped right now for a break." Ash proclaimed.
"Me to, I'm so excited I can't stand it." Bianca(Unova) cheered.
"Same here, I couldn't sit down if I tried." Stephan said eagerly.
"Where do you three get so much energy?" Misty asked rhetorically.
"It's just what competition does to us Misty." Ash told the water trainer.
"Speaking of competition, lets go cheek out ours." Stephan suggested.
"Good idea." Bianca(Unova) agreed.
"Yeah, count me in to." Ash agreed.
"Ash can I come to?" Molly asked eager to see the trainers that would be battling.
"Sure thing." Ash approved.
"Well I think it will be just you four, the rest of us need a break." Brock laughed seeing the limitless energy of his friends.
"Suit yourselves." Ash said before taking off out the front entrance with Stephan Bianca(Unova) and Molly.
Now back at the heart of Trainer's Village Ash and his friends watched as more trainers arrived to join the competition. "Man this is more trainers then I've ever seen in one tournament." Ash stated.
"Yeah, no doubt there's gonna be a lot of tough competitors." Stephan pointed out.
"I know you guys are going to beat them all." Molly told her friends surly.
"Pi Pika." (You know it.) Pikachu replied confidently.
"That's the plan alright." Ash laughed.
"I wonder if Virgil's shown up yet?" Bianca asked from out of the blue.
"Maybe, but I'm sure if he hasn't he'll be here soon." Ash told the Unova trainer.
"Yeah we'd run into him eventually anyway." Stephan threw in.
"I hope so, I really want to see him again." Bianca said in her chipper tone.
"I'm more worried about Cameron." Ash reminded the others.
"Me to, we still don't know if he knows where to go." Stephan pointed out.
"I thought Cameron got his prism pokeball the same time as Ash did, so why wouldn't he know by now where the Prism League was going to be?" Molly asked confused.
"Well you see Cameron can be a little bit forgetful." Ash explained.
"And misinformed." Said Stephan.
"And bad with numbers." Bianca added.
"Pika Pi Pika." (that's putting it nicely.)
"The first time I met him he wanted to compete in the Junior Cup, but by the time he go there it had already ended and then he said he was entering the Unova League but he thought he only needed seven badges and he thought it was in Ecruteak City in Johto." Ash continued.
"Then at the Unova League he got there three days before the rest of us but he didn't register so Ash had to beg Nurse Joy to let him sign up." Stephan joined in.
"And then when it came time for the full battle with Ash, Cameron thought he only needed five Pokémon." Bianca finished the explanation to the youngest trainer.
Molly sweat-dropped as she now understood the other's worries. "I guess that is kind of a problem."
"For all we know Cameron thinks the Prism League is in Evergrand City." Stephan expressed his concern.
"I'm starting to think we should all go try and look for him, he could be here already. Ash suggested.
"Good idea, but how do we do that." Bianca asked.
"He could have actually remembered to register this time. Stephan pointed out.
"Yeah your right, so how about Molly and I go cheek registration, while you guys look around here for him." Ash purposed.
"Sound like a plan, we'll give you a call if we find him." Stephan agreed.
"Great, good luck." Ash said before splitting up.
"Ash we were here just a little while ago do you think Cameron would have gotten here and registered since then." Molly asked.
"He could have and even if he didn't we can ask Nurse Joy to let us know when he shows up." Ash replied. "If he remembers to." Ash said a little worried.
"PiPi Pi Pika Pi." (That's a big if.) Pikachu remarked from Ash's shoulder.
Returning to the main stadium Ash and Molly found Nurse Joy still registering Trainers. "Excuse me Nurse Joy."
"Oh Ash this is a surprise I was just about to call you." The Nurse informed.
"Call me, but why?" Ash asked.
"There's someone here asking for you."
"Who could be looking for me." Ash asked rhetorically this time.
"It sure has been a while huh Ash?" A familiar female voice said from behind Ash.
Ash and Molly turned to see a girl with fiery red hair wearing a long sleeved maroon shirt with an orange vest over it, jeans and a pair of sunglasses resting atop her head. "Zoey!"
"Pikapi." (Zoey.)
"And here I thought you'd forget me." Zeoy teased.
"I'd never forget an old friend, how have you been.?" Ash asked the red-head.
"I've been good, and by the looks of things you doing really well yourself." Zoey referred to his Prism League status.
"You know it." Ash agreed.
"Hey there Pikachu." Zoey scratched the electric type on his head earning a happy sound of pleaser.
"Oh, who's this?" Zoey asked notice Ash was not alone.
"I'm Molly, I'm a friend of Ash's." Molly introduced herself.
"Well it's nice to meet you Molly, I'm Zoey." The teen replied with smile
"I know who you are, I've seen tons of contest you've been in, you're a top coordinator just like Dawn and May."
"You got it, Dawn's been a rival of mine for a long time." Zoey informed.
"She told me all about how you two competed together in Sinnoh." Molly marveled as she remembered the numerous stories.
"Well any friend of Dawn and Ash is friend of mine." Zoey siad offering her hand to Molly who gladly shook it.
"So Zeoy you must be here to compete in the Prism league to." Ash suspected.
"No I came here with Mrs. Senior to see the competition." Zoey corrected.
"Candice is here?" Ash asked surprised.
"Yep, Gym Leaders and Frontier Brains from all over the world have been invited to watch the tournament, and I knew there was no way you would miss out on something this big so I decide to come along to see you, and I'm not the only one looking forward to watching you battle a lot of the other Gym Leaders are to." Zoey said with a sly grin.
"Really, how do you know?" Ash asked very intrigued.
"Well yesterday there was a big party for the arriving Gym Leaders and while Mrs. Senior and I were talking this really big loud guy overheard us."
"Big loud guy?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, he was gigantic, at least seven feet tall, he had blond spiky-hair and he dressed like he was in the military or something, he said his name siege or sig..." Zoey scratched her head trying to remember the man's name.
"LT. Surge!" Ash said the name popping into his mind.
"That's it, anyway when he heard us taking about you he comes right over to use and starts talking about what a great battle you two had, then the next thing you know every Gym Leader hears about you and joins in, everyone there must of had at least one story about you and Pikachu to."
"Wow Ash you and Pikachu are famous." Molly congratulated the trainer.
"Man, I never thought we'd leave such an impression." Ash said rubbing the back of his head thinking of all the gyms he had faced while Pikachu matched his trainer's expression.
"By the way if your already signed up what are you doing back here at registration?" Zoey asked pulling Ash out of his thoughts.
"Oh yeah I forgot." Ash said before returning to the front desk. "Nurse Joy do you know if a trainer named Cameron has signed up?"
"Let me see." Nurse Joy turned to her computer and began putting in keystrokes before turning back to Ash. "I sorry but there's no trainer by that name registered."
"Oh, well if he does show up can you please call me?" The trainer asked.
"Of course, I'll be sure to notify you right away."
Ash returned to Molly and Zoey with a glum look on his face.
"No luck huh?" Molly asked already knowing the answer.
"Nope, if he's here he hasn't been to register." Ash replied.
"So your looking for a friend of yours." Zoey guessed.
"Yeah I'm worried he might not even be here on the island." Ash admitted.
"Come on, every participant was given notice about the Prism League, there's no way he couldn't know where to go." Zoey tried to reassure her friend.
"You haven't met Cameron." Ash and Pikach both Sweat-Dropped. "Pika." (Yeah.)
"Well how about I help you look for him then." Zoey offered with a smile.
"Sure that'd be great." Ash agreed.
"Maybe Bianca and Stephen had better luck finding him." Molly thought aloud.
Stephan began to rear his head back and suck in air as though he was about to sneeze only for the feeling to pass. "I think someone was talking about me but said my name wrong." Stephan said leaning against an ice-cream stand while Bianca bought them two cones.
"Relax Stephen, you're to stressed." Bianca said handing Stephan his cone.
"I'll relax when you guys start saying my name right again." Stephan grumbled. "Besides we're suppose to be looking for Cameron, not getting snacks."
"Who says we can't look for Cameron and get something to eat." Bianca shot back as they left the stand.
"All I'm saying is if you aren't looking then you're not going to find someone you know out of nowhere." Stephan replied.
"Hey look it's Trip." Bianca pointed out their fellow Unova trainer.
"Or maybe you can." Stephan admitted.
"Hey there trip." The two trainers ran up immediately getting Trip's attention.
"Well look who it is, I thought I might see you two here, I guess you both got invited." Trip said in his usual smug tone.
"Yeah, we were in a Battle Club Tournament and Don George gave us our prism pokeballs, what about you?" Stephan asked.
"After the Unova League I went right back into training then a few months ago I ran into Alder." Trip began.
"Let me guess, you challenged him to a battle." Bianca guessed.
"Of course, battling someone like Alder is the best way to test your power, that's basic stuff." Trip replied.
"Who won?" Stephan asked then took the sour look that crossed Trip's face as his answer.
"Anyway after the battle Alder said he was impressed with how much stronger I'd gotten since our first battle and invited me to the Prism League."
"That's great." Bianca congratulated her fellow blond.
"Yeah, looks like the Unova League all over again." Stephan said tightening his fists in excitement.
"What's that suppose to mean." Trip asked not understanding the connection.
"Ash is going to be in the competition to. "Stephan elaborated.
"So Ash is here to huh?" Trip smirked.
"Yeah we came here with him this morning." Bianca answered.
"Well this tournament just got a lot more interesting." Trip said as his smile grew bigger. "When you see Ash tell him I'm looking forward to a rematch with him." Trip told both trainers before turning to leave.
"Trip sure has changed." Bianca said noticing his slightly more humble attitude.
"You got that right." Stephan agreed.
Pikachu scanned his surroundings looking for the still missing Cameron. "See anything Pikachu?" Molly asked the electric type that was perched on top of her head.
"Pipi Pikach Chu Pi Ka." (Sorry I don't see him.)
"Sorry Ash we don't see him anywhere." Molly said looking down from her seat on Ash's shoulder to said trainer.
"That's alright, I didn't think it would be that easy to find him." Ash admitted setting Molly and Pikachu back down on the ground. "But I didn't think it would be this hard either."
"Face it Ash, finding one trainer is like trying to find a needle in a haystack." Zoey explained.
"No kidding." Ash sighed when suddenly he noticed a number of trainers gather together. "What's going on over there?"
"Can't tell, lets take a look." Zoey proposed.
Going up to the cluster of trainers Ash Zoey and Molly found a man playing a small harp while a Kricketot stood next to him using Sing to create multicolored music notes from between its antennae. The man was tall wearing a large hat and cloak with long black-hair.
"It's Nando!" Both Ash and Zoey said surprised.
Both trainer and Pokémon ended their musical display and bowed signaling the end of their performance before the small crowd began to applauded. As the trainers began to leave Nando noticed two familiar faces in particular. "Well, well, if it isn't my old friends Ash and Zoey."
"Hey there Nando." Ash greeted walking up to the minstrel.
"Good to see your doing well." Zoey greeted.
"Thank you, it seems your both doing quite fine yourselves." Nando replied. "And who do we have joining us?" Nando asked looking Molly.
"This is my friend Molly." Ash informed.
"Ash told me all about you, I think it's so amazing that you're a Pokémon trainer and a coordinator." Molly said clearly impressed.
"Thank you, it's always nice to know my style is appreciated." Nando said sincerely.
"So are you here to compete in the Prism League?" Ash asked hopefully.
"Of course, after my participation in the Last Grand Festival I was contacted by the Pokémon League and was told for my feats in both gyms battles and contests that I had been invited to compete in the Prism League."
"That's awesome." Zoey congratulated.
"Yeah, it'll be great if we get to have another battle." Ash said hopefully.
I agree, a rematch most certainly would make for an exciting event." Nando anticipated.
"There's a battle I want to see." Zoey declared.
"Me to." Molly agreed.
"Well good luck Nando, I'm looking forward seeing you on the battlefield." Ash apprised.
"As am I. and best of luck to you as well Ash, now I must be off my friends." Nando announced before walking off casually playing his harp.
A sudden beeping came from Ash's Xtransceiver, Ash answered to discover the person calling was Bianca. "Hey Bianca what's up?"
"I called to see if you've had any better luck at finding Cameron then we've had." Bianca informed her friend.
"Nope, we haven't found him and he wasn't at registration." Ash updated the Unova trainer.
"Stephan and I have been looking all over and we still haven't seen him, I think he really mite not be here." Bianca said glumly.
"Yeah I'm getting worried to, anyway for now lets meet back up and go from there." Ash proposed.
"Alright see you in a bit." Bianca said before ending the call.
After speaking with Ash, Bianca and Stephan returned to the center of Trainer's village to meet up with him. Once again the Unova trainers searched through the crowds of people this time looking for Ash. "Great, first we couldn't find Cameron now we can't find Ash and Molly." Stephan face-palmed.
"Don't worry, we know they're here somewhere we just have to find them." Bianca reassured him.
"We've been trying to find them for the last hour, we should call Ash again to figure out where he is." Stephan advised.
"Oh alright I'll call him again." Bianca prepared to call Ash on her Xtransceiver once again when she caught sight of a dark-haired boy wearing a hat with a Pikachu on his shoulder. "Look there he is!" Bianca pointed out the person that appeared to be Ash.
"You sure that's him Bianca?" Stephan asked not convinced.
"Yeah, come on." Bianca replied before rushing after the boy.
"Hey hold on a second!" Stephan shouted trying to stop the energetic girl.
"Ash, hey Ash!" Bianca called running up to the boy when she accidently tripped over her own feet and lost her balance. Unable to stop Bianca began flailing her arms trying to steady herself when the boy took notice of the scream and turned just in time to see Bianca coming his way then collide knocking him and his Pikachu into a nearby fountain. After regaining her balance and realizing she had hit someone Bianca ran to the fountain to see if the boy was alright.
"Bianca I told you not to go rushing up to him like that." Stephan scolded seeing what had happened.
"It was an accident I thought he was Ash." Bianca tried to defend herself.
"There you guys are." Both Stephan and Bianca turned to find Ash, Pikachu, Molly and Zoey behind them.
"How did you guys found us?" Stephan asked.
"We heard a big splash and figured it must have been Bianca. Molly answered.
"Good call." Stephan replied.
"What happened here anyway." Ash asked this time.
"Well we were trying to find you and Molly but then I saw a boy with a Pikachu on his shoulder and thought it was you then I kind of tripped and knocked him into the fountain." Bianca said laughing guiltily until she notice Zoey. "Ash did you meet a new friend."
"Actually I'm an old friend, my name's Zoey."
"Are you here to compete in the Prism League to?" Bianca asked excitedly.
"No I'm just here to watch." Zoey corrected. "But Ash tells me you three are all entering."
"That's right and we're going to win it." Stephan thumped his chest confidently.
"Only friends of Ash could be this confident." Zoey laughed at her own joked.
"I ran into Zoey over at registration." Ash recalled thier encounter.
"We ran into somebody to." Stephan brought up.
"It was Trip." Bianca finished.
"Trip's here?" Ash said not to surprised.
"Yeah, he told us to tell you he's looking forward to a rematch." Stephan relayed trip's message.
"Well so am I." Ash said his excitement growing once again. "PiPi Chu." (Me to) Pikachu matched his trainer's enthusiasm.
A light groan coming from the fountain pulled everyone from their conversation and back to the incident at hand. "We forgot about the kid Bianca hit!" Stephan said as it came back to him. The boy sat in the fountain with his head being soaked by the flow of water preventing them from seeing his face.
"I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry!" Bianca apologized over and over until the boy's Pikachu sprung up from the water yelling and shaking his paws in anger but to Bianca only came across as cute. Ash and Pikachu went wide-eyed when they noticed on the top of this Pikachu's head was a small scruff of fur.
"Sparky!"
"Pikachu! (Sparky!)
Hearing his name said Pikachu turned and was meet with the sight of two of his and his trainer's best friends. "PiPi, Pika! (Ash, Pikachu!)
"Then that means." Ash was cut off as the boy Bianca had run into pulled his head from under the water's flow.
"Man, did someone get the number on that Rhydon?" the boy asked rubbing his head when he found Ash standing just in front of him. "Ash, Pikachu!"
"Ritchie it is you!" Ash cheered as he offered Ritchie his hand to pull him out of the fountain. "It's been a long time."
"Long time is putting it lightly, it's been more like forever." Ritchie joked as he stepped out of the fountain.
"Yeah it has been way to long." Ash agreed.
"I was hopping I'd run into some old friends while I was here." Ritchie replied.
"Well it looks more like my friend Bianca ran into you." Ash corrected pointing over his shoulder to the blond waving at him with an apologetic smile.
The group left the main street of booths and had now moved to a gathering of benches to take a rest. After introductions were made, Ritchie and Ash began to recount their past encounters. "Wow, so you guys competed in your first league together." Said Zoey.
"Yep, that was way back at the Indigo Plateau." Ritchie said thinking back.
"That was such a long time ago, but I still remember that like it happened yesterday." Ash added.
"So you guys are long time rivals, that's pretty cool." Stephan stated.
"It's been a while since we battled but that will just make it even better when we do." Ash replied.
"That's right." Ritchie agreed.
"If you guys get past us that is." Stephan reminded them they were not alone in the competition.
"Speaking of which, how did you get invited Ritchie?" Molly asked curiously.
"Well about a year ago I was in the Sinnoh region and while I was there I went to the Canalave Library to do some research and I met a member of the elite four there named Lucian."
"You met Lucian, that's awesome." Ash said remembering the time he had met the reading enthusiast.
"Yeah, and I jumped at the chance for a battle with him." Ritchie continued.
"How did it go?" Zoey asked knowing the Psychic-type trainer's impressive strength.
"Well I though it could of gone better for me but Lucian said he was really impressed then he invited me to the Prism League." Ritchie said sounding surprised himself. "After that it was right back to training, right sparky?"
"Pika!" (Right!) Ritchie's partner answered.
"Wow you and Ash even sound alike." Zoey said getting everyone but the two said trainers laughing.
"What do you mean?" Ash asked not getting the joke.
"Come on you have to see it, you guys almost look alike, you even sound alike to." Zoey explained.
Both Ash and Ritchie looked puzzled at Zoey the turned to each other looking one another over while their Pikachu did the same. "I don't see it." Both trainers said in unison, shrugging in the exact same way.
"PiPi Pikachu." (Me either.) Both Pokémon said shrugging matching their trainers.
Everyone burst out laughing seeing the mirror image of the trainers and their Pokémon. As Ash and Ritchie looked at their friends still confused when something grabbed Ritchie's attention. "Hey I thought everyone was getting here by boats and sea planes."
"They are." Stephan told the trainer who's attention was now on the sky.
"Then what's that?" Ritchie pointed to what looked to be a small helicopter.
"Hey that's Virgil!" Bianca announced recognizing the aircraft.
"You're right it is!" Ash confirmed.
The helicopter passed overhead and began to make its decent in a small clearing away from the streets. "Lets go." Ash said hopping up then ran after the helicopter
"Right behind you." Said Stephan.
"Me to!" Bianca said running off.
Molly sighed in exhausted. "Just when we finally sit down." Molly rose from her seat to follow the others.
"What's going on?" Ritchie asked the only remain member of the group Zoey.
"Beats me, but I guess we should follow them." Zoey suggested before Ritchie and herself went after their friends.
Ash and his friends reached the clearing they saw the aircraft land just in time to see their friend Virgil jump out with his partner Eevee on his shoulder and share a few quick words with his brother the pilot before the aircraft took off once again.
"Hey Virgil!" Ash waved rushing up to his friend.
"Ash, good to see you." Virgil replied.
"Virgil it's so awesome that your here!" Bianca squealed with excitement rushing up to the rescue squad member.
"Hey, glad to see you guys made it in." Virgil nodded to both Stephan and Bianca.
"What'd you expect, that we'd let you and Ash have all the fun?" Stephan asked giving Virgil a slap on the shoulder.
"Hey Ash what's the rush?" Zoey asked as she caught up.
"Sorry about that, this is our friend Virgil he's entering the Prism League with us." Ash said introducing the Eevee trainer.
"High there." Virgil greeted the newcomers.
"High." the all said back brightly
"And these my friends Molly Zoey and Ritchie." Ash continued.
"Well anyway I'm glad we all made it in." Virgil said with excitement.
"That wouldn't happen to mean that you know where Cameron is would it?" Ash asked hopefully.
"No I thought you guys might know, I haven't heard from him in a while." Virgil clarified causing Stephan Bianca and Ash to hang their heads in defeat once again. "Did "I say something wrong?"
"No, it's just we hoped you knew if Cameron was on his way here." Ash explained.
"We've been looking for him most of the day know." Stephan added.
"For any other trainer I'd say it was no big deal but for Cameron that's definitely a problem." Virgil said now understanding his friends disappointment.
"Guess all we can do is keep looking and hope for the best." Ash sighed.
"Yeah but first I got to head to registration." Virgil reminded him.
"Oh yeah, so do I." Ritchie announced. "I was on my way over there when I bumped into you guys."
"So your entering the Prism League to then." Virgil gathered.
"Sure am, same as you guys." Ritchie replied.
"Be careful Ritchie Virgil's pretty tough." Ash playfully warned his friend.
"Virgil won the whole Unova league to get invited here." Bianca recounted Virgil's victory.
"And his Pokémon are pretty impressive to, he uses all the evolved forms of Eevee." Stephan joined in.
"Wow that's really cool." Said Molly.
"Yeah it's not to often you find one Eevee but to have everyone of its evolutions is amazing." Zoey praised.
"Aw we're nothing to special." Virgil said humbly. "But when it comes to battles we're ready for anything, right Eevee?" Virgil asked his partner who gave a cry of agreement.
"Well then hopefully we'll get to battle." Ritchie purposed.
"Sounds good." Vergil agreed.
"That's only if you guys don't battle me first." Ash said confidently.
"Well unless you guys get registered none of you will battle each other." Zoey reminded everyone.
"She's right you guys need to sign in." Stephan told his fellow competitors.
"Right." Both Ritchie and Virgil agreed.
"Back to registration it is then." Ash sighed.
The continually growing group was now headed back to the main stadium to register Virgil and Ritchie when Ash and the others arrived at the stadium to see someone leaveing from registration.
"Hey Ash isn't that..." Zoey asked as she saw a boy with purple hair wearing a blue jacket grey pants and blue tennis shoes leaving the stadium.
"It's Paul!" Ash answered surprised.
"Who?" Virgil asked.
"It's nothing you guys go sign in, I'll catch up." Ash told his friends before running off after his Sinnoh rival.
"What's up with Ash?" Stephan asked.
"Don't worry about it he's just an old rival of Ash's." Zoey explained. "he said he'd catch up, so he will." Zoey reassured the group before they went to register. Zoey looked to Ash and Paul with a hint of worry when she notice that Molly had stayed next to her.
"Zoey who is that guy?" Molly asked, her curiosity getting the best of her.
Zoey sighed knowing that Molly wouldn't let it go. "He was one of Ash's toughest rival, I only met him once and he was a real jerk." Zoey began with venom laced in her voice. "Dawn told me that he pushed his Pokémon way to hard and treated them like he didn't care, he seemed like the total opposite of Ash so every time they met it always ended badly." Zoey continued on causing Molly a look of worry to cross Molly's features. "But she also said that after their last battle something about Paul changed she couldn't tell what but he just seemed different." Zoey said almost confused by it herself. "So I don't think we need to worry to much." The coordinator smiled down at the younger girl comforting her worries before joining their friends.
"Hey Paul!" Ash shouted getting the other trainer's attention.
"Ash." Was Paul's only reply seeing the Pallet Town trainer.
"Been awhile hasn't it?" Ash asked rhetorically.
"Yeah, it has, I was hoping you'd be in the competition." Paul answered, his face stoic as usual.
"Same here, I knew you were gonna make it in, when did you get invited?"
"Remember after I left the Sinnoh League I told you I was going to challenge Brandon again, I did, he was the one who told me about the Prism League."
"That's awesome, did you win?"
"No, I couldn't even beat one of his Pokémon."
"What?" Ash's mouth drop to the floor.
"Believe me I was surprised to, but Brandon said I had changed, that I had found my strength and that he wanted to see if I could push that strength even further."
"He said that you'd found your strength, how'd you do that?"
"Not sure, all I know is it happened in our last battle."
"Really?"
Paul gave a nod and thought back to said battle. "It wasn't just a tough battle, it made me go beyond my limits."
"I know what you mean, that battle was one I'll never forget." Ash replied.
Ash then noticed a smirk on Paul's face but unlike the look of superiority Paul normal showed this smile was one that showed both eagerness and confidence in himself at the same time showing respect to others. "Like I said, I was hoping you'd be here, and I'm hoping another battle with you will tell me if I really have found the strength Brandon is looking for in me, so don't lose until we're matched up. Paul took one hand from his pocket and held it out to Ash.
Ash looked almost in shock seeing the change in his once very cold rival. Ash met Paul's determined look with one of his own and shook his rival's hand. "Don't worry, there's no way I'll loss."
"Good, I'll see you around then." Paul turned to leave slipping his hands back into his pockets.
"Things just keep getting more interesting don't they buddy?" Ash asked his partner Pikachu.
"Chupi Pika Pi Pika." (You could say that again.) Pikachu laughed.
Ash returned to registration in time to meet his friend at the door. "So you guys signed up now?"
"Yep we're all set." Virgil answered.
"And now were ready to compete." Ritchie said eagerly.
"This is great where all entered, well almost all of us." Bianca said disappointed remembering their still missing friend.
"I still can't understand why we can't find Cameron." Ash said frustrated.
"Maybe there's somewhere you guys didn't look." Ritchie pointed out.
"That's about the only possibility there is." Virgil agreed.
"Yeah I guess you guys are right, Bianca, Stephan can you think of anywhere we didn't look?" Ash asked the Unova trainers.
"No, it seemed like we looked everywhere." Bianca tapped a finger against her chin as she though of everywhere they had looked.
"I can't think of anywhere we missed." Stephan sighed in defeat.
"I guess the only thing we can do is go around one time and hope for the best." Ash suggested.
"Right." Everyone agreed.
"Hey what's that?" Molly asked pointing down the road to what seemed to be a giant dust cloud.
"Don't know." Ash answered watching as the cloud grew bigger and closer.
"What ever it is, it's moving pretty fast." Ritchie observed.
"No joke." Said Zoey when the group began to hear yelling coming from the same direction as the dust cloud.
"Out of the way!"
"No you get out of the way!"
"I don't need to because you the one in the way!"
"No I'm not, your in my way!"
As the cloud grew closer Ash could see that is was created by two people running shoulder to shoulder in what looked to be a race. One boy had blond hair and was wearing a white and orange striped jacket, grey pants, brown shoes and a green scarf tied around his neck. The other was a much larger boy about Stephan's size with orange hair tied back in a ponytail wearing a red Gi and sandals. "Barry, Morrison!" Ash said in shock as the trainers continued running not notice Ash and his friends at the door.
"Heads up! Virgil called out
"Look out! Zoey cried.
As the two charging trainers were about to collide with the group Stephan, Bianca and Virgil jumped to one side while Zoey, Molly, Ritchie and Pikachu who had hopped to Molly's shoulder jump to the other side allowing both trainers to pass through then head for the front desk.
"Nurse Joy I'm here to register for the Prism League!" Both trainers said in one breath.
"Then please show me you prism pokeballs and pokedexs please." Nurse Joy asked of the trainers.
"Haa, I beat you!" Said both trainers as they turned to one another.
"Beat me, I beat you!" Barry shouted.
"Are you kidding I beat you by a mile!" Morrison shot back.
"Wow, I don't think I've ever seen anyone in as big a rush as you Bianca." Stephan said watching the two trainers argue.
"Me nether." Bianca agreed.
"Well I've never seen anyone so competitive just to get signed up." Ritchie added.
"Pika Pikachu." ('Yeah really.) Said Sparky.
"Pikapi!" (Ash!) Pikachu cried.
Everyone looked to the floor between them and found Ash laid out on his back trampled by the two bickering trainers. "Ash are you alright?" Molly asked hoping Ash was at least conscious.
"I went from running into my rivals to getting run over by my rivals." Ash said in a daze.
Hearing a familiar voice both Barry and Morrison stopped their argument. "Hey it's Ash!"
After Ash had regained himself he introduced the group to his passed rivals and introduced them to one another. Morrison, his friend from the Ever Grande Conference who competitive spirit could give even Ash a run for his money. And Barry a hyperactive trainer from Sinnoh who had been one of Ash's main rivals throughout the region.
"Sorry about stepping on you like that Ash, I was kind of focused on getting to registration." Morrison apologized.
"It's no big deal." Ash replied.
"YES IT IS A BIG DEAL ASH, IF YOU HADN'T BEEN IN THE WAY I WOUNDN'T HAVE TRIPPED UP AND THEN I WOULD HAVE BEATEN THIS GUY BY ANOTHER SECOND SO I'M FINING YOU!" Barry shouted
"What!" Ash asked defensively.
Barry then turned his attention to Morrison. "AND I'M FINING YOU FOR NOT TELLING ME YOU KNEW ASH!"
"FIRST OFF I BEAT YOU!" Morrison argued. "AND SECOND HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW THAT YOU KNEW ASH?"
"Wait how did you guys meet up?" Ash asked watching both trainers stare each other down.
"Oh that happened on the boat here." Morrison was the first to answer.
"Yeah, you see to pass the time everyone on board decided to have a tournament of our own to figure out who was the strongest and naturally I beat everyone I went up against with no problem." Barry said smugly.
"Humble as ever huh Barry." Ash sweat-dropped along with Pikachu. "Pika." (Right.)
"But then I went up against him!" Barry pointed to Morrison furiously. "We battled and I won but he wouldn't admit it!"
"I did not lose, I beat YOU!" Morrison defended.
"Wait a minute, you guys couldn't tell who won?" Zoey asked confused.
"I know who won." Morrison huffed.
"And I know who REALLY won!" Barry shouted.
"What could make it so hard to tell who won?" Ritchie asked.
"Well his Rapidash fell before my Arcanine did and he just can't face it." Morrison began.
"No way, Your Arcanine fell a whole two seconds before Rapidash." Barry resorted.
"What battle were you watching, Rapidash fell first!" Morrison said holding to his story.
"Your blind it was Arcanine!" Barry said continuing their feud.
"Both trainers continued their verbal battle while the others watched looking at them like they were crazy all sharing one thought. "It was a tie."
"So then why were you guys in such a rush to get to registration?" Ash asked as he raised an eyebrow at the bickering trainers.
"Well since we couldn't agree that I won we decided that whoever got registered first would be declared the winner, AND I GOT THERE FIRST!" Barry explained firmly.
"NO I DID!" Morrison declared.
This began another verbal battle this time the classic did vs. did not. The group sighed as they watched for what felt like an hour but was really five minutes as the two headstrong trainer tried in vain to prove their victory over the other until it was suggested they settle it in the competition.
"So how did you guys get invited?" Ritchie asked.
"I got invited when I won at the Battle Arena." Morrison stated proudly.
"You beat Greta?" Ash asked.
"Sure did, it was awesome battle, it was close but I managed pull out a win then she gave me the guts symbol and my prism pokeball."
"That's great." Ash congratulated his friend.
"It's ok but the Frontier Brain I battled was way tougher." Barry said smugly annoying Morrison.
"Who'd you go up against Barry?"
"I battled my dad." Barry answered.
"Your dad's a Frontier Brain?" Stephan asked surprised.
"Yep and I managed to beat him." Barry said confidently.
"Wow your dad's pretty strong, that had to have been one tough battle." Said Ash.
"It wasn't just one tough battle it was eight." Barry corrected.
"Eight?" Everyone said confused.
"My first battle with him I got wiped out, but thank to some training by my third battle I started to make so real progress the sixth battle I came really close to wining then on my eight try it was close to losing but I finally won." Barry said proudly crossing his arms with his head held high while everyone including Morrison looked him quizzically.
"So basically you just kept asking you dad to battle you until you won?" Ash raised an eyebrow at the blond trainer.
"Yeah, sure I trained for a while after each battle but I managed to win it." Barry answered still unaware of how the others were staring at him.
"That seems a little." Zoey said but struggled to find the right word to end with.
"Easy." Molly added.
"Well it's not like he didn't do something that's worth getting invited for." Ritchie tried to cut the Sinnoh trainer some slack.
"Sure but the rest of us couldn't just ask for another try to get into the Prism League." Stephan brought up.
"Yep it was a real intense battle, Dad's Rhyperior was looking tough but Empoleon and I were hanging strong." Barry began to recount the battle until he noticed everyone had left him standing there talking to himself. "HEY I OTTA FINE ALL OF YOU FOR IGNORING ME!"
"Ok now that that's done how about we get back to what we're gonna do next." Ash said reminding the group of their original task.
"Yeah, you guys said you looked everywhere you could think of, so that doesn't leave us with many options." Virgil pointed out. "So I think the best thing we can do is split up and look one more, and if we don't find Cameron we'll have to call it a day."
"I guess your right, if we don't find him this time then he's not here." Ash voiced his acceptance of the matter.
"Then hopefully we'll find him this time." Said Bianca.
The teens split up once again into two groups, the first group consisted of Ash, Zoey Molly, Stephan and Morrison while the second was Virgil, Bianca, Ritchie and Barry.
Both groups searched thoroughly through all of Trainer's Village from building to building, booth to booth and crowd to crowd but still found no trace of Cameron.
"You ever notice you can never find someone until your not looking for them?" Stephan asked rhetorically as his group stopped to rest on a bench.
"We've been all over the place where else is there?" Morrison asked.
"He's right Ash, we're running out of places to look." Zoey agreed.
Ash sighed folding his arms while Pikachu did they same as they both tried to think when a smug voice interrupted them. "Well well, look who I found." The voice lead to a girl with dark pink hair covered by an orange hat and wore a green sleeveless shirt over a darker green blouse and skirt, yellow gloves, green knee socks and a pair of teal boots.
"Georgia!" Both Ash and Stephan said as they jumped up from their seat recognizing the self proclaimed Dragon Buster.
"Who?" Morrison, Zoey and Molly asked.
"That's right." Georgia replied.
"What are you doing here?" Ash asked right away.
"Isn't it obvious, I came to compete Prism League and crush every last dragon Pokémon here." Georgia said putting her hands on her hips confidently.
"You got invited to?" Stephan asked surprised.
"Of course, you think a Dragon Buster like me would miss out on this." Came Georgia's smug reply.
"How did you get invited." Ash questioned further.
"Well I heard of a certain Dragon Master in the Johto region so I decided to pay her a visit." Georgia answered her tone still laced with overconfidence.
"You mean you went to the Johto region to battle Clair the Blackthorn City Gym Leader?" Ash said thinking of the strongest dragon trainer he knew in Johto.
"You guessed it and and she was so impressed she gave me a prism pokeball right after the match." Georgia turning her back to the group.
"Who won?" Stephan asked.
"Who do think?" Georgia asked looking over her shoulder at Stephan.
"I think Clair shut you out." Ash smirked having more faith in Clair's strength then Georgia's confidence.
A tick mark formed on Georgia's forehead knowing she had been found out. "Like that matters, now all I want to know is where is that big-haired Dragon Master wannabe Iris?" Georgia demanded as she pointed to Ash.
"And more importantly where is that insufferable Connoisseur CILAN! A girl with curly purple hair wearing a waiter's outfit with a long-sleeved pink shirt, a red bowtie and vest, black pants and matching shoes jumped from the bushes surprising everyone except Georgia who looked at the new arrival irritated.
"Burgundy!" Ash and Stephan exclaimed.
"Wi." the Connaisseuse replied.
"Don't tell me your entering the Prism League to." Ash said doubtfully.
"She's not entering anything, she's been following me." Georgia said her annoyance growing.
"As I've told you your destination has been the same as mine and I merely needed you to find where it was!" Burgundy defended herself.
"What is going on?" Morrison asked watching with confusion from the sidelines of this meeting.
"I'd tell you if I had a clue." Zoey answered watching just as uninformed.
"Alor, new faces." Burgundy said taking notice of the three trainers not speaking with her. "Are you three friends with CILAN!" Burgundy shouted getting to close for anyone's comfort.
"I don't know what you talking about." Morrison replied honestly.
"I know who Cilan is but I haven't met him." Zoey answered looking at the purple-haired girl like she was crazy and guested that she was.
"I'm friends with Cilan." Molly said not realizing what she had just unleashed on herself.
Burgundy lowered herself to Moly's level. "Well then heed my warning, NEVER LISTEN TO THAT EGOTISTICAL FOOL'S MEANINGLESS EVALUATTION!" Burgundy shouted furiously.
"But Cilan always gives great evaluations and it helped with Ash's training a lot." Molly replied visible frightened.
"I see, so Ash you've been training off that annoying Connoisseur Cilan's evaluation in preparation for this competition, then it goes without saying that you will lose for sure unless you exchange all of you Pokémon!" Burgundy pointed accusingly at Ash.
"Not that again Burgundy!" Ash said not taking kindly to the comment. "What are you doing here if your not competing?" Ash asked wanting to get rid of the obnoxious trainer.
"I came to find Cilan, I knew where there was a tournament I would most likely find you, and where there was Georgia I would find Iris and where I find Ash and Iris I would undoubtedly find Cilan!"
"And I already told you, I want to know where Iris is." Georgia reminded him.
"Fine they're back at our hotel." Ash answered right away.
"Alor then I shall pay him a visit and serve up an overdo course of revenge." Burgundy stated.
"And I'm gonna see if her giant hairdo finally brought that Dragon Master wannabe Iris down a peg." Georgia said smugly before she and Burgundy headed off.
"Good thing they didn't ask which hotel we're staying at." Said Stephan.
"And if we're lucky they won't find out." Ash hoped.
"Ash who were they?" Molly asked curiously and cautiously.
"They're Iris and Cilan's rivals, Georgia calls herself a Dragon Buster because she has it in for dragon pokemon and the trainers who use them but she's got a rivalry with Iris because Iris wants to be a Dragon Master and that's the kind of trainer Georgia hates the most." Ash explained.
"And Burgundy is a Connoisseur like Cilan only she's a lower rank and the whole reason she became one was just get back at Cilan, I'm not even sure he did anything to her really." Stephan joined in.
"They're defiantly not like most trainers." Molly commented.
"They're seriously weird." Morrison said getting to his feet.
"I think weird is a little to nice, petty is more like it." Zoey said crossing her arms.
"I agree, from what I understand their motives are, petty is the best way to describe those two." Said a boy with dark-green hair wearing glasses who appeared out of nowhere behind Zoey and Molly causing both girls to jump from their seat.
"Conway." Ash said just as Molly ducked behind him.
"So this is that creepy guy Conway?" Zoey realized remember what Dawn had told her of the very unusual boy.
"It's been quite some time Ash." Conway greeted as he pushed his glasses up.
"Yeah, so you're entering the Prism League to." Ash assumed.
"Correct, I had calculated that you would also be apart of the tournament and as I had expected I was right." Conway replied. "Just as I calculated Morrison and Stephen would as well.
"Wait how do you know who we are?" Morrison asked.
"And if you know who I am how did you get my name wrong?" Stephan groaned.
"I examine as much data as possible on my opponents and while looking over Ash's I found both of yours, and from what I saw in you battle with Ash I felt you both could be strong competitors so I decided to research the both of you as well." Conway explained casually. "I also know about your friends, Virgil, Bianca and Cameron and even more trainers you three have battled."
"You wouldn't happen to know if Cameron's here would you?" Ash asked.
"As I understand it he hasn't registered yet so no." Conway answered causing Ash to hang his head low. "But there is one trainer I know you'll be interested to know has arrived."
"Who's that?" Ash said picking his head up.
"Tobias."
Ash felt a chill run down his spin hearing the trainer's name, while had expected the Sinnoh League winner to compete in the tournament hearing he was there had a much bigger impact.
"Anyway I simply stopped by to say hello and tell you I'm looking forward to another battle." Conway said turning to leave Ash to his thoughts.
"Ok the other two are petty but that guy is weird!" Zoey said looking like she might be sick.
"Yeah weird describes him much better." Molly agreed matching Zoey's look while still clinging to Ash.
"He's strange but he's also a pretty tough opponent." Ash warned his friends.
"Well he may have read up on me but he doesn't know what it's like to battle me." Stephan said confidently cracking his knuckles.
"Or me." Morrison pointed proudly to himself.
"Can someone please tell me again why we're looking for this guy Cameron?" Barry asked walking with hands folded behind his head.
"We're looking because Cameron's our friend and we're worried about him and want to make sure he gets his shot to compete." Bianca said sincerely as she searched every booth in sight for a sign of her forgetful friend.
"That's right, you wouldn't like it if you missed out on the tournament would you Barry?" Ritchie backed up Bianca's statement.
"Of course not, but I'm starting to get really hungry so if we do find this guy I'm finning him the bill for my dinner." Barry said casually.
"Well with how things look now I'm afraid Cameron's not here." Virgil informed his group.
"Are you sure Virgil?" Bianca asked with a worried look.
"Yeah we've searched our area over as thoroughly as we could and haven't found him, so unless Ash and the others found him then that's it." Virgil said disappointed.
"Then maybe we should call them and see if ahhh hey!" Ritchie was interrupted when a young girl ran up to him and plucked Sparky off his shoulder and began hugging the tiny electric type.
"Hi Pikachu, it's been forever since I've seen you, I think you got even cuter." The girl said hugging Sparky tightly not noticing his discomfort, talking like she had met him before.
The group stared at the excited girl with purple-hair tied in two ponytails, she wore a white baseball cap with a thunderbolt on it a yellow jacket and white shorts all of which had black stripes except for her white shirt and hanging around her neck was a small bullhorn. "Hey you mite want to be careful." Ritchie tried to warn her of his Pokémon's growing temper but was to late as Sparky let loose a powerful electric shock on the girl causing her to release him while she fell to the ground twitching.
"Thanks for the warning." The girl said still sparking.
"Sparky that was a bit much." Ritchie scolded.
"Pi PikaPika Chu Pika." (She wouldn't let go.)
"Are you alright?" Bianca asked the girl still suffering from the shock.
"Yeah just give me a minute." The purple-haired teen replied as best she could.
"Sorry about Sparky, he's kind touchy about people grabbing him like that." Ritchie apologized helping the girl to her feet. "I'm Ritchie."
"No it's alright it was my fault anyway, by the way my name's Casey and sorry about sneaking up on you but I thought you were a friend of mine, he always keeps his Pikachu with him just like you." The girl said shaking of the last of the shock effects.
"Would that friend's name happen to be Ash?" Virgil asked putting two and two together.
"Yeah it is, do know him?" Casey asked excitedly.
"Know him, he's one our best friends." Ritchie informed the girl.
"That's great, is he here to compete in the Prism League?"
"Yeah, we all are." Barry added.
"That's even better so am I!" Casey cheered. "I won the Electabuzz Number One Fan battle tournament to get invited." Casey stated proudly.
"The electa what?" Bianca and Virgil asked confused.
"The Electabuzz, its an electric type Pokémon from Kanto, and there's a baseball team named after it." Ritchie informed his friends.
"That's right, that very same team held a tournament where fans battled for the title of Number One Electabuzz Fan in the world and I won!" Casey cheered.
"And that's how you got your prism pokeball?" Barry asked.
"Yep and now I'm stepping up to the plate of the Prism League to hit a grand slam!" Casey laughed confidently while the others watch puzzled
"She sure likes baseball." Bianca stated the obvious.
"That's for sure." Virgil agreed.
"So do you guys know where Ash is right now?" Casey asked.
"No but we were just about to call him." Bianca said activating her Xtransceiver.
A moment of beeping later Ash appeared on the screen. " What's up Bianca.
"Ash it is you!" Casey said moving into the screens view.
"Casey, wow, been a long time hasn't it." Ash said excited to see another old friend.
"No kidding, I was hopping you'd be coming the Prism League."
"Hey how did you meet up with Bianca and the others?" ash asked curiously.
"Oh, I kind of thought your friend Ritchie was you." Casey rubbed the back of her head smiling guiltily.
"Your not the first person to do that today." Ash informed her causing Bianca to laugh embarrassingly.
"So Ash the reason I called is we wanted to know if you've seen any sign of Cameron." Bianca asked.
"No we haven't and I hate to say it but I think we have to call it quits for the day." Ash sighed.
"Yeah that's probably best, why don't we meet back over by the hotel." Bianca suggested.
"Alright we'll see you there." Ash replied before ending the call.
The sun had now almost completely fallen behind the mountains of the valley and covering Trainer's Village in orange and red coating of sunlight. "We looked the whole day and couldn't find him." Ash said with disappointment as he and his group headed back to their hotel.
"I guess we'll just have to hope he shows up before the tournament starts." Stephan said just as glumly.
"Come on you two you need to keep positive, sure your friend might be a little disorganized but I'm sure he'll make." Zoey encouraged.
"Yeah there's still a lot of other trainers coming I'm sure he'll make it." Morrison pointed out.
"That's right there's still a whole month left." Molly agreed.
"You guys are right, I'm stressing out about it to much." Ash admitted.
"Yeah I say we hit the sauna to sweat it out when we get back." Stephan suggested.
"Good idea." Ash said when he caught sight of Pokémon battle off in a field. "Hey check it out." Ash said running off to get a better view of the action with Morrison fallowing while the others took a much need rest.
Once Ash and Morrison were closer they found a slightly larger group of trainers then there own. On one side of the battlefield was young man with thick brown hair wearing a purple shirt a long green jacket with pale-yellow trimming, cargo pants and blue and grey tennis shoes. In front of him was a Meowth wearing a hat, scarf and boots on it feet.
"It's Tyson!" Both Ash and Morrison recognized their friend.
On the other side of the field was a boy with dark brown hair wearing a grey jacket and matching pants with white trim. The Pokémon on his side was a Blaziken.
"That's Rafe." Ash said surprised to see the trainer he had met in LaRousse City.
Over on the sideline were five other trainers. One was a big guy with black hair wearing a pale red headband, a brown red-trimmed shirt, cargo shorts brown and orange shoes and a silver necklace. next to him was a young woman with purple hair tied back in a bun wearing a pink shirt, grey pants, pink and white shoe, with a purple Xtransceiver on her left wrist and a pair of glasses resting on her face typing away on a laptop while still watching the battler. Next to her were two identical twin girls a little older the Molly that bared a slight resemblance to Rafe. Both were wearing matching hats, shirts, shorts and shoe with the exception that while one of them wore white and yellow the other was dressed in white and pink. The last trainer was young man with short brown hair wearing a red and Purple shirt, white and black wristbands, tan pants and nave blue shoes with yellow streaks.
"Harrison." Ash said surprised to see the Hoenn trainer with Rafe's friends.
The competitors and spectators finally took notice of Ash and the others and cease their battling. "Ash." Everyone said recognizing the Pallet Town trainer.
"Ash, Morrison glad to see you guys made it!" Tyson said excitedly to see his friends and rivals.
"You think we'd miss out on this?" Ash asked confidently.
"We still got some unfinished business, and don't think just cause you won the Ever Grande Conference that you'll win here." Morrison threw in.
"Wouldn't dream of it." Tyson replied.
"Hey Ash it's been a while." Rafe greeted.
"How you been?" Asked Rafe's best friend Sid.
"Long time no see." Both Rafe's sisters Audrey and Kathryn said in unison.
"Yeah, last time I saw you guys was back at LaRousse City." Ash reminded.
"So your entering the Prism League to huh?" Rafe asked.
"Sure am." Ash replied.
"That's great, so are we." Harrison said as he and the others joined the group.
"Harrison good to see you." Ash told the Hoenn trainer.
"You to, I knew you were gonna be here." Harrison replied.
"I figured you'd be here to but I didn't know you knew Rafe and his friends." Ash said confused.
"Well we meet a few months ago in the Sinnoh region." Harrison enlightened.
"Yeah we all met in Hearthome City for the tag battle contest." Rafe explained.
"You guys were in the tag battle contest?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, Rafe and I got partnered up and took the whole competition." Sid laughed triumphantly.
"Until you faced Harrison and I that is." The girl with the laptop named Rebecca said cutting Sid's laughing short.
"That's right, Rebecca and I faced off with Sid and Rafe for the final round and won." Harrison pointed out.
"After that we were all invited to the Prism League." Rafe informed.
"That's awesome." Ash's excitement grew knowing more rivals would join him.
"Just don't get any ideas about winning against us." Rafe said smugly.
"Well see, you still owe me a rematch." Ash reminded.
"I remember, but I think you forgot how bad I beat you last time." Rafe snidely remarked.
"What!" Ash said as Rafe hit a nerve.
"Come on now lets save the action for the battlefield." Tyson said trying to defuse the situation.
"Your right." Ash cooled down. "Besides I'm so hungry right now it's not even funny." Ash groaned.
"Same here, I could eat a Horsea." Said Sid.
"Me to." Said Kathryn
"Me three." Audrey agreed.
"Yeah I think we should call it a day and get some dinner." Said Rafe.
"Sounds like a good idea, where are you guys staying?" Ash asked.
"Hotel K." Rebecca informed.
"Cool that's the same one me my friends are staying at." Ash replied.
"That's where I'm staying to." Said Tyson.
"Then how about we all head back together and get something eat." Ash suggested.
Back at Hotel K Misty had walked out the front door to find Brock waiting patiently for their friends to return. "They're still not back yet." Misty huffed.
"Nope but I just got a call from Ash, he said they're on their way back, he also said he's bringing a few old friends." Brock finished explaining with a puzzled look.
"Old friends, I wonder who he could mean?" Misty asked pondering what friends he was bringing.
"Hey look, here they come now." Brock said noticing Ash coming down the road fallow closely by a horde of familiar faces. "He wasn't kidding." Brock's jaw hung slightly seeing the massive group.
A slew of reunions, introductions and joyous greetings began once the group arrived back at the hotel. Old friendship were refreshed while new ones were being formed.
To celebrate the large reunion Brock had suggested a party and in less then an hour the massive group of trainers were situated out behind the hotel in a decorated clearing chowing down on food prepared by Brock and Cilan under the starlit sky. Stories were shared, battles recounted and bonds were made.
Dawn had been particularly happy to find out Zoey had come and was catching up with her rival along with May. "It's so cool that your gonna be here with us Zoey." Dawn voiced her excitement while Piplup chirped in agreement.
"Yeah I was hoping you guys would be coming to cheer on Ash." Said Zoey.
"Of course we would, we want to give Ash all the support we can." May stated.
"Well I'll be right there with you guys cheering my heart out." Zoey said causing all three girls to laugh.
"I hope that you'll be cheering for me as well Dawn." Conway said appearing behind Dawn scaring the blue-haired coordinator.
"Conway your here to." Dawn said shocked while Zoey looked annoyed at the uninvited guest.
"Yes I'm also entered in the Prism League and I received the pleasant surprise to find that you were here as well." Conway said pushing his glasses up.
"It's certainly a surprise to see you to." Dawn said smiling uncomfortably.
"Lup Piplup." (Just not pleasant.) Piplup pointed out.
"Anyway I know you'll be cheering for Ash but with the strategy I've created there's little chance he'll win, so I hope you'll cheer for me after that." Conway said confidently.
"We'll just see about that." Zoey defended.
"I suppose we will." Conway said before turning to leave.
"Of course he'd be staying here to." Zoey said cursing thier luck.
"Who was that." May asked completely bewildered by the strange trainer.
"Don't ask." Dawn moaned.
While May was focused on Dawn and a clearly annoyed Zoey, Sid snuck up behind her and put his arm around her shoulder. "How you been May?"
"Oh Sid nice to see you again." May said slipping out from his arm.
"You to, I think you got even cuter since the last time I saw you." Sid said getting closer to May not taking the first hint.
"May who's this?" Dawn asked now being the confused one.
"Don't ask." Was May's only answer.
Iris was talking with Bianca(Johto) when she received a very unpleasant surprise that left a pit in her stomach. "I can't believe I had so much trouble finding such a big head of hair." Said the self proclaimed Dragon Buster Georgia. While Ash hadn't told Georgia which hotel his friends were staying at, by a stroke of luck in Iris's case bad Georgia was also staying in hotel K.
"Oh no." Iris said feeling her skin crawl. "I guess a little kid like you still doesn't know what at sheek hair style looks like." Iris recovered then Axew popped out from her hair and voiced it's agreement.
"Real funny, but this kid is the one in the competition while the wimpy little Dragon Master is sitting on the sidelines." Came Georgia's snide remark.
"You may be in the Prism League now but you won't be for long." Iris said her temper growing.
"Yeah right, when I win the whole world is going to know the name Georgia the Dragon Buster." Georgia said smugly.
"Why you." Iris said clearly annoyed with Axew starring daggers at Georgia.
"Come on Iris lets not do this now, everyone is suppose to be having fun tonight not battling." Bianca(Johto) said trying to stop the verbal assault.
"Wow Iris for once the offense aroma of dragons isn't just coming from you." Georgia said looking to Bianca(Johto).
"Excuse me but what is that suppose to mean?" Bianca(Johto) asked crossly.
"You smell like you take baths with Dragons." Georgia elaborated.
"I do not, and just what is wrong with Dragon Pokémon?" The young artist asked.
"Besides the smell, their ugly faces, their loud mouths, bad breath." Georgia listed.
"Well I happen to think Dragon Pokémon are kind, brave and very noble." Bianca(Johto) defended not taking kindly to someone bad-mouthing the same type Latias and Latios come from.
"Well I wouldn't expect anyone with a hairdo like that to have good taste." Georgia poked fun at Bianca's (Johto) hair. Bianca (Johto) was starring down the obnoxious trainer along with Iris when another girl who looked exactly like Georgia appeared. "Not you again." Georgia tried to grab the other girl only for her to shrink into Luke's Pokémon Zorua and land on top of her head. The tiny fox jumped off Georgia then changed into her once again with a mischievous laugh.
Iris took this opportunity and got behind Zorua and began using her as a puppet to mock Georgia. "Oh what am I to do, a lowly Dragon Buster like myself could never hope to stand up against so many powerful trainers in the Prism League or the mighty Dragon Master in training Iris." Georgia growled in frustration watching Iris and Zorua play their annoying game. Zorua returned to her true form as Bianca(Johto) and Iris laughed at the look of anger on Georgia's face. "Thanks Zorua, we can always count on you for a good laugh.
"Laugh now but this Dragon Buster will be laughing in the winner's circle when this is all over." Walked off with one last comment.
"Your nothing but a pain in the neck!" Iris shouted."I hope Ash wipes the stadium floor with her."
"He will, her best team couldn't last a minute against Latias or Latios." Bianca(Johto) voiced her dislike of the Dragon Buster.
Luke was getting interviews from everyone competing in the Prism League and was now on Morrison. "So Morrison what are your thoughts on the competition." Lucked asked from behind his camera.
"Well I can tell already there's a lot of strong trainers here, but I'm feeling confident and I don't think there are to many people here that can beat me." Morrison replied when Barry pushed his way into fram.
"I BEAT YOU TWICE TODAY!" The bold trainer shouted in Morrison's face.
"YOU DID NOT, I BEAT YOU! Morrison shouted back.
"I WON THE BATTLE AND I GOT TO REGISTRATION FIRST, FACE IT!" Barry shot back.
"YOUR THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO FACE IT, I WON!" Morrison retaliated.
While both trainer fought the pointless battle of convincing the other of who beat who while Luke caught the who thing on film.
Molly sat with Rafe's sisters Audrey and Kathryn listening as they told her of their bother's participation in the Hearthome Tag Battle Contest. "Rafe sure does sound like a strong trainer." Molly admitted.
"Yeah he is, Blaziken's super strong to." Audrey stated.
"They're strong alright but I think Ash could beat them." Molly replied surly.
"I don't think so, Rafe has one of the best records of any trainer in the Battle Tower." Kathryn added.
"Well Ash is in the Hall of fame for winning the Orange League." Molly Pointed out.
"Rafe competed in the Sinnoh Battle Frontier" Audrey said with a little more volume in her tone.
"Well Ash won the whole Kanto Battle Frontier." Molly said also raising her voice a bit.
"Rafe came in the top sixteen in the last Silver Conference." Kathryn said louder this time.
"Ash came in the top eight in the Silver Conference." Molly raised her voice again.
"Rafe came in top eight at the Ever Grande Conference!" Both Audrey and Kathryn shouted.
"Ash came in top four at the Sinnoh League!" Molly shouted.
All three girls entered a stare down as the verbal battle of who's big brother was the better trainer came to a pause.
Rebecca sat once again typing while on her computer when she noticed standing before was Brock. "Oh Rebecca if you could put down you laptop for only a moment you'd see you don't need numbers to messure my love for you!" Brock proclaimed to the young woman only to have both ears grab by Max and Misty.
"Your number's up." Both trainers said holding one of Brock's ears.
Brock gasped then hissed feeling a familiar pain courtesy of Crogunk. "Someone call 9-1-1." Brock dropped to the ground where he was grabbed by his poison pokemon and dragged away allowing Rebecca to continue her work.
As Cilan spoke with Misty and a quickly recovered Brock he was interrupted by none other than Burgundy. "Alor at last I found you Cilan!"
Both Kanto trainers looked perplexed by the purple-haired girl while Cilan merely looked startled. "Burgundy, this is quite a surprise." The Connoisseur said in his usual upbeat tone.
"I can't stand it when you pretend to be nice!" Burgundy pointed accusingly at Cilan. "I've come to this island to prove once and for all I'm the superior Connoisseur!"
"What's with this girl." Misty raised an eyebrow at the antics of Burgundy.
"Beats me." Brock said just as confused.
Burgundy took notice of the two training and immediately got in their faces. "You two aren't friends of Cilan are you?"
"No we thought he was a waiter and wanted to place our order." Misty said sarcastically.
"I find your sarcasm as bland as Cilan's evaluation."
"Gee I'm really hurt." Misty said flatly.
"Why does it matter if we're friends with Cilan? Brock asked.
"Because you need to be warned that an evaluation he gives you will lead you to utter disaster!" Burgundy proclaimed.
"If Cilan's can lead us to disaster then yours could probably lead to a catastrophe." Misty remarked.
Burgundy growled in frustration at the water trainer. "Burgundy that reminds me has your rank as a Connoisseur gone up?" Cilan asked.
A large smirk covered Burgundy's face. "In deed it has, I am now a B class Connoisseur." Burgundy said taking out her Connoisseur badge show she was in fact a B class.
"Congratulations, clearly you've been working hard to improve." Cilan said genuinely happy for her.
"I have and it is only a matter of time before I move up again and become an A class and then I will become an S class before you and finally have my revenge on you!" Burgundy said laughing in triumph.
"But Cilan's already an S class Connoisseur." Brock said ending Burgundy's laughing.
"Huh?" The Connaisseuse said in shock.
"Yeah three months ago he got promoted." Misty added.
"It's true I've been working with Ash to improve his team for this competition and while I was back home in Unova I presented the work I've been doing with Ash as a long term project to the Connoisseur association, they found it to be a great success of my Connoisseur talents and I was immediately promoted to an S class." Cilan took out his badge proving every word to be true.
All three teen watched as Burgundy went as white as an Absol then crumble to pieces. "She took that well." Said Misty.
While the party continued an unsuspecting Paul entered and was immediately spotted by Ash. "Hey Paul what are you doing here?"
"Nothing, I was coming out here to do some training, but I can find somewhere else." Paul said turning to leave.
"Hold on a second why don't you stay here and hang out for a while." Ash purposed.
"Parties aren't really my thing." Paul replied.
"Come on, would it really be that bad?"
Paul let a quick sigh "I guess I don't have anything better to do."
"Gee thanks." Ash laughed.
As the party continued Ash watched as so many of his friends from different regions and adventures all came together as one when Virgil, Bianca and Stephan sat down next to him. "Hey Ash what's up?"
"Nothing much, it's just so cool to have so many of my friends here for this." Ash voiced his excitement.
"I get what you saying, you do sure know how to make an impression on people." Said Virgil.
"Yeah and I say the more the merrier when it comes to competition." Said Stephan.
"It is really great having so many friends here but I just hope that." Bianca was interrupted when rustling came from the trees behind the teens and from them came a boy with faded brown hair wearing an orange headband, a dark yellow shirt with dark orange short sleeves, blue shorts, orange and black shoes and a white scarf tied around his neck. The boy looked completely exhausted before falling face first in front of the others.
"Cameron!" All four trainers said in shock as they rushed to their friend's side and helped him into a sitting position and saw that he had swirls in his eyes. "Cameron, hey Cameron." Ash said shaking his friend by the shoulders.
"How can he be here, we looked everywhere and couldn't find him?" Bianca thought aloud.
"I don't know but he is really out of it." Stephan said waving his hand in front of Cameron's face but got no reaction from the other trainer.
Ash and Stephan looked to each other and nodded then both took hold of one side of Cameron's headband pulled in back the released it snapping him in the head. Cameron's arms shot up to his stinging forehead as he hissed in pained then looked to see he was surrounded by his friends. "Hey you guys long time no see, where have you been?"
"That's what we wanted to ask you." Said Virgil.
"Cameron we've been looking for you all day today and couldn't find you." Ash informed.
"Well you guys must have been looking in the wrong places cause I've been here a week." Cameron replied.
"A week!" the other four trainers said in disbelief.
"Yep, I didn't want to be late this time so I flew here on Hydreigon but I guess I must have landed on the other side of the island cause this all looks new to me and I've spent the last seven day searching the island trying to find registration." Cameron explained.
"Cameron this island is gigantic and goes on for miles and miles." Ash told his friend.
"Your telling me I had to go through a desert, a jungle, over a mountain range it was even snowing in some places." Cameron replied.
"But Cameron the only populated parts of the island are Hajime City and Trainer's Village." Said Stephan.
"Someone should have told me that sooner." Cameron shrugged his shoulder.
"Well at least your here now." Virgil pointed out.
"That's right now we all get to compete together again!" Bianca practically squealed.
"Yeah now we just need to get Cameron registered." Said Ash.
"Right!" Cameron agreed until his stomach growled. "But can that wait till tomorrow, I'm starved. Cameron said while the other face-faulted.
After Cameron was introduced and his appetite satisfied Ash had decided to purpose a toast. "Alright this is going to be without a doubt the biggest and most intense competition any of us have every faced so lets all give it our very best." Ash began.
"And may the best trainer win." Said Tyson
"Who every he may be." Said Barry
"Or she." Said Rebecca.
"No matter what it's gonna be one of us here that goes all the way to win." Said Ritchie.
"Yeah, it's just a matter of who it is." Virgil agreed.
"Right so here's to finding out which one of us is the strongest trainer." Ash said raising his glass along with his friends and rivals.
The entire party let out one loud unified bellow. "HERE'S TO THE PRISM LEAGUE!"
I hope everyone liked this chapter and hopefully I added the characters everyone was hoping for, I'm pretty sure I didn't miss any and before anyone says something yes I added Rafe and his friends, I did because I liked the movie Destiny Deoxys, it gave me three more competitors for the price of one backstory and it gave me a story for how Harrison got invited so please no one give me a hard time about it.
Next while suggestions have helped I've reached a point where I know how I want things to go so I can't take anymore suggestions, it would set me back to much to change who is battling who or what Pokémon they use now.
Last I know it's close but the next chapter isn't the beginning of the Prism League, but there will be plenty of battling and it's based on an episode from season one. The fallowing chapter will then be the beginning of the Prism League so just hang in there a little bit longer.
Please read and review.
