New and Old Faces
Ask yourself this question. Who gets up at 5:00am in the morning? Well, the answer would be the AM Warriors, that's who! They can wake up at very weird times. One time, Naruto woke up at 4:00am because he wanted to see if goblins come out during the night when he was six, Luffy woke up at 1:00am to find out who was drinking his glasses of milk, and the end result was Master Pan sleepwalking, when he was five, Natsu woke up at 11:00pm to catch at dragon, only to find out that it was Kirito's costume for Halloween, when he was eight, etc.
So you may ask why am I asking you this? The answer is easy. Today, we find Natsu waking up with Ash as the two of them sneak into the living room to see their eggs. The two of them then started to panic as they find their eggs missing from where they put them last night.
"Where can they be?" asked Ash with fear of what had happened to them, as he looked under the sofa.
"I can't wait to find the creep who took them, so I can give him a piece of my mind!" growled the Fire Dragon Slayer as he covered his fist with flames. Their conversation was interrupted by the sound of Ash's Pokemon outside. the two heroes looked out a window and saw Dan, Naruto, Luffy, Kirito, Asuna, Pan, and all of Ash's Pokemon crowded around something.
The Pokemon Master in training and dragon slayer ran out through the back door to see what this was all about. If the rest of the AM Warriors and all of Ash's Pokemon are excited about something, then it has to be good!
"What's happening here?!" asked Natsu in both excitement and confusion.
"(Ash! Natsu!)" called Pikachu. He ran up and jumped into Ash's shoulders.
"Pikachu, why weren't you in bed when I woke up? And what's with the crowd out here?"
"Come and see for yourselves!" said Asuna.
Ash and Natsu started to make their way through the crowd of Ash's Pokemon. With so many that Ash had, it wasn't easy to get by them all. The two finally got to them middle of the crowd to find Master Pan, their 'brothers' and 'sister' with faces in 'aww'.
"What is it?" asked Natsu. The team pointed to the direction were all the eyes were landing on. In the middle of the crowd, a baby Pichu and blue cat with wings were playing by tackling each other and rolling in circles. When they both saw Ash and Natsu, they stopped playing and smiled at them.
"A baby Pichu!?" said Ash
"A baby Exceed!?" said Natsu.
"Where did they come from?" the two asked while looking at their 'family'. Dan and Naruto left for a moment to get something, when they came back, they showed both Natsu and Ash the eggs, but they were both broken and had a hole at the top!
"Wait. You mean that you two came from the egg?" asked Ash. The only answer that he got was Pichu and the Exceed tackling Natsu and him. Everyone started to laugh out loud as their 'family just grew bigger with two new members.
(15 Minutes Later)
Ash was finished doing everything in his moring routine and decided to train his Pokemon for the upcoming battles at school. He had Pichu sit at the side to watch and see how his new 'father' trains his Pokemon.
Ash found some music the listen to while training, and got his Pokemon to work!

(Song Ends)
"Well, I guess we better get ready for school." Ash informed the the six Pokemon that he was going to bring with him. Namely, Pikachu, Pichu, Infernape, Noverin, Talonflame, and Gliscor.
The young aura user returned his team, except Pikachu and Pichu. He had already caught Pichu with a Pokeball before training. But the baby mouse Pokemon wanted to stay out of his Pokeball so the he could spend some more time with his trainer/Papa and Pikachu/Big brother.
Pichu got on top of Ash's head to ride on, while Pikachu climbed on Ash's shoulder. This was a new look for Ash as it's only Pikachu ride on his shoulder that he's used to. The young Pokemon Master in training looked into a mirror to see what he looked like. He was wearing his Kalos outfit that he used during his adventures in Kalos, which ended about two months ago. He had a blue collared shirt with short sleeves, blue jeans, a red and white hat, and high red shoes. On top of his hat, Pichu sat still with a smile on his face, while Pikachu sat in Ash's shoulder with a smile as well.
"Looks like you and you new friend are having fun!" said a voice.
Ash turned around to see Natsu with the blue Exceed on his head , just like how Pichu was on his head.
"I can say the same to you." replied Ash with a smile.
The tiny blue cat on Natsu's head started to get up and he then began to grow tiny wings out from his back and started to fly all over the room. The other AM warriors walked in to see the sight that the dragon slayer and aura user were witnessing.
"Awww! It's so cute!" said Asuna as she looked at the flying blue cat.
"I never thought I'd see the day that a cat could fly!" pointed out Naruto. He and team have seen some pretty weird and interesting things in their adventures, but this had to make the top ten.
When the little Exceed was finished giving his wings a workout, he landed once again in Natsu's head, ans he started to curl up into a ball to sleep.
"I guess Happy is all tired out." said the dragon slayer with a smile.
"Happy?"
"Yeah. Ever since he hatched, he and Ash's Pichu had make everyone in this house happy, so I named him Happy!"
"Aye!" said the little blue cat on Natsu's head. Everyone smiled at the little blue Exceed. Both him and Pichu were the cutest things that they've seen so far and hoped that Natsu will be able to keep the blue cat. Since his science was the one who gave the egg to Natsu and might want Happy back for the class to study, which they hoped was not the case!
(20 Minutes Later)
The team had finally arrived at school and are now trying to get to their classes without attaching any attention. Ever since Ash and Natsu have been given their eggs to take care of their popularity had increased due to everyone wanting to know what was in the eggs. The aura user and dragon slayer were having a tough time getting through the halls ever since, and now that the eggs have hatched and the creates are born this was only going to make things more difficult.
"I hope we can make in to our classes easier this time." said Naruto. He really didn't want to deal was a mob of admirers and fans today, especially are waking us so early in the morning.
Ash started to us his aura to look for a way inside the school without attracting attention. He closed his eyes and started to clear his mind for a moment to send out an invisible wave of aura to help him find an empty entrance into the school. He kept his eyes shut as he could see the surroundings around him and the others. After about a minute, he found a door that had nobody near it. That meant that it was the team's ticket inside.
"I found a door that leads inside, and it's empty without anyone near it."
"Great now's our chance to get in!"
The team made it to the door and started to look around to see if no one had come near the door yet, thankfully no one had come and it was just them. Luffy opened it and stretched his beak to take a peek inside, "The costs is clear!" he informed his 'siblings'. Everyone walked in and started to look around and their were pleased to see no one.
"Well, I guess this is where we separate for now." said Dan. He then started to walk away as he waved at his 'siblings' telling them that he'll see them later. Natsu then started to walk away towards his class with Happy on his head, the two waved at the rest of the team as their started to climb stairs that lead to Natsu's science class. One by one, the team started to split up to go in different directions to get to their classes. By the end, it was Ash, Pikachu, and Pichu.
"Well, I guess we should get to class." informed the aura user.
"(Sounds good to me, Ash.)" said Pikachu with a smile.
"(Ok, Papa.)" replied Pichu on Ash's head.
Ash started to make his way to class while being careful not to have anyone see him. He could only imagine what would happen if a bunch of girls saw Pichu on his head. They would ask him nonstop if they could hold or pat him, plus they would also want to hold Pikachu as well since he's just as cute. Not to mention the fact that ever since he beaten Gary on his first day two weeks ago, girls have been wanting to get the chance to go out with him.
'If don't get why beating Gary is such a big deal, he's loss was his own fault due to being too argent and letting his guard down during the battle. I din't get how I can become so popular just by beating him.' Ash thought to himself.
(At Battle Class)
"I wonder what kind of Pokemon Ash is going to us for his battles on Friday?" asked a random student sitting in their seat.
"I hope he has some strong one like that Infernape he used, that thing was awesome!" replied a guy next to him.
"If there's one Pokemon he should defiantly use is that Pikachu of his, it overpowered Gary's Blastiose completely!" said another student nearby.
Every since two weeks ago on he's first day in Epic High School, Ash's popularity went from new kid to super trainer! Students have been talking about how strong his Pokemon are and how he was about beat Gary by staying so calm. Since them kids have been asking Red how was his cousin was so good at being a trainer. Red's answers were hard work, lots of training, becoming one with his Pokemon, and thinking of strategies. but when Ash in on the scene they all come up to ask him, but the only answer they get was him running away and escaping every time. The same happens when girls try to ask him out. But ever since he got that egg, the attention he's been getting multiplied by by two. Now students have been asking him what he thinks is in the egg, when he thinks it'll hatch, how does he plan to take care of it, and if they could help him take care of it. (The girls asked him the most because they wanted to care for the egg with Ash as if they were Ash's mate.)
Poor Ash just couldn't catch a break when he's at school. It was super hard to get to classes without having anyone look at him, ask questions, or have girls ask him out. He's been thinking about quitting the battles on Friday, but if he were to do that, not only will everyone start to look down upon him and antagonize him, but he'll make Gary, Paul, and Trip think that it was luck the made him win his battles against him. Plus, they'll just continue to bully the other student, the whole point of challenging them in the first place was get them to realize that hurting others and mistreating them and their Pokemon was wrong. Ash wanted to put the three jerks in their place and let them see that they shouldn't mistreat others just because they aren't as strong as them.
Ash did know that if he manages to beat them he'll just become even more popular, but he has to beat them in order for them to see that there's someone out there that's as strong as them by the same age!
As the students continued to talk about Friday's upcoming battles. Serena, Dawn, and May were also discussing Ash.
"How do you think that Ash is going to beat three of the school's biggest bullies. I know he took down Gary, and I've heard that he battled Paul on Saturday and beat him as well, but all three of them is a little by too much if you ask me!" said May.
"No need to worry, Ash will definitely show them who's boss and put them in their place!" smiled Dawn. She know that Ash had the strength to beat Gary, Paul, and Trip, after seeing Ash's battle against Gary on his first day. Plus the news about Ash beating Paul got out like wild fire.
"You're right, Dawn. Ash will beat them and show them their nothing but jerks!" replied Serena.
Ash was the main topic of what the class was talking about. But, Gary, Paul, and Trip, are starting to get really annoyed by all the attention that Ash was getting. Ever since he started coming to Epic High School, and their failed attempt to beat him up on the first day, Ash has been getting a lot of attention just like the other new students that arrived the same day he did.
'That lighting cheeked newbie has ruined everything since he got here. He made a mistake challenging me, Paul, and Trip, now he's going to wish that he'd never showed up!' thought Gary.
'I'm not going to loss to him again, this time he'll be sorry that knocked me out on the first day!" thought Paul.
'Seeing how he beat both Gary and Paul, I'll have to think how to see I'm going to beat him!' thought Trip.
Meanwhile, Red was over at his desk thinking about how the battles were going to play out. He had full confident in Ash, but going up against three trainers in a row was not easy. He'd hoped that Ash had made the right decision and that everything goes will for him.
Suddenly, the door to the room opened and everyone looked to see who had entered the room. Everyone was happy that it was Ash, but when their looked closer, then not only saw Pikachu on his shoulder, but a tiny, cute, baby Pichu on his head. Everyone stayed quiet and didn't make a sound, they just kept on staring that the little baby version of Pikachu on Ash's head.
"Ash, is that what I think it is?" asked Red.
"If your talking about the Pokemon that came out of the egg, then yes!" answered the aura user to his cousin.
Everyone, except for Gary, Paul, and Trip, got out of their seats and came up to Ash to get a closer look at the baby electric type. Girls were squealing and cooing over how cute Pichu was, while guys were asking Ash how he felt when he saw Pichu. Ash was having a hard time backing up from the crowd, he lifted his hat to get Pichu to a higher distance away from the crowd.
"OK. EVERYONE BACK UP NOW!"
Everyone stopped trying to get closer and just stood there frozen in surprise. Ash looked pretty mad right now.
"Pichu is getting really scared with all of you coming near us. He's still a baby and it's his first day here, and your scaring him with your loud noise. So back up!" Ash growled.
Everyone was pretty surprised, but started to back up anyway because they didn't want to piss Ash off anymore. They looked at his hat and saw Pichu hiding his face with his ears, but they could tell that he was scared. Ash brought the little electric type down from his head and started to rock him back and forth like a baby. The baby version of Pikachu started to calm down and smile, while Pikachu gave his 'little brother' a thumbs up.
Everyone kept their distance to avoid getting Ash pissed off again. The girls in the room started to feel a warm feeling inside their hear at they watched Ash handle a baby Pokemon and have completely forgotten about his outburst a minute ago.
'He'll make a wonderful farther someday!' Some of them thought.
(With Natsu)
"Ready to meet everyone in the class?" the dragon slayer asked his little blue feline friend.
"Aye!" replied the little blue cat.
Natsu opened the door to his class and walked right in, only to be greeted by a bunch of stares from his classmates. Including Makarov.
"Natsu...is that was I think it is?" asked Lucy.
"Yup. Everyone meet Happy, the little guy that came out of the egg!"
"A CAT!?"
"Actually, he's something called an Exceed."
"Well done, Natsu. You've done a fantastic job raising that egg until it hatch!" Makarov congradutulated Natsu.
"What's an Exceed?" asked Lucy.
Makarov started to explain that Exceeds are a species of animals that came from another world called Edolas. A few eggs from there were sent to Earth for some unknown reason and finding them is very rare, so that meant that the school was lucky to find one.
"So Happy's race is from another world?" asked Natsu.
"Exactly." Makarov replied.
"Why in the world would you name him Happy?" asked Gray.
"Because ever since he hatched this morning he's been smiling the whole time." answered Natsu.
"I could have named him something better if I was chosen to take care of his egg." bragging the ice wizard.
"Like what? Stripy, cause that's what you're doing right now." said Natsu.
"What's that's suppose to mean, pinky?" shouted Gray.
"Look down." said Erza.
The black haired teen looked, only to find that his pants were missing and he was in his underwear.
"AHHH. How does this keep happening?" he asked as he starts to run around the classroom looking for his pants.
"Keep your image clean, Happy was only born this morning and is still a baby!" said Natsu as he covered Happy's eyes.
"I can see that you've grew quite attached the Happy, Natsu." complemented Makarov.
"Yeah. But I've been wondering. Now that Happy is out of his egg, does this mean that I have to give him back?" asked a very disappointed dragon slayer. Natsu didn't want to give Happy back, he did grew very attached to the little blue Exceed, even if it their did only meet this morning.
"Don't worry, Natsu. I know that this would happen to whoever I give the egg to, I've decided to let you keep whatever came out of the egg. So that means Happy's yours!" answered Makarov.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr. Makarov, you kindness knows no bounds!" called Natsu as he was down on his knees bowing to Makarov. Happy was in fact doing the same thing as his 'father'.
"Would you cut that out, it's embarrassing!" shouted the science teacher. The rest of the class laughed at Natsu's reaction, they thought that he was pretty funny. Well, most of them did.
'Idoit' thought both Gray and Gajeel.
'He's super funny' thought Lucy.
(75 Minutes Later)
After science class was over, Natsu started to make his way towards his sparring class. He was hoping that he would get to fight someone this time, cause the only sparring class that he's gotten to fight in so far was on his first day two weeks ago against Gray.
Luckily, he got his wish when Gildarts put him against Gajeel for for today's sparring class. Natsu know that he would be facing another dragon slayer, so that meant that he had to keep his gurad up at all times.
"Hope your ready for a beating ya pink haired punk. Ever since I'd seen you beat Gray I've been training hard for when I would have to face you, and now it looks like that time is now!" warned Gajeel.
"I've been waiting to fight another dragon slayer for years and it looks like I'm about to. Just to give you a heads up, getting too overconfident is pretty dangerous, so you better not let your gurad down!" replied Natsu.
"I was about to say that same to you." said Gajeel. Anyone could hear the excitment in both of their vocies and knew that the two of them couldn't wait to get started.
In the benches of the room the only class was watching to see how this fight would turn out. This time the bets were different then the last time Natsu was in a sparring match, cause this time more people betted on Natsu, but Gajeel had just as much students bet on him as well.
Natsu put Erza in charge of looking after Happy while he was out in the field. The little blue cat was on the red haired girl's lap watching everything that was happening infront of him. Erza could tell the the little blue creature was interested on what was going on.
"You seen excited, aren't you?" she asked the blue cat.
Happy looked up at Erza and nodded his head. The red haired girl smiled at Happy. She may not be the kind of girl that can acts girly most of the time, but a cute creature like Happy can make her act softer than she normally does.
"I wonder how this will play out?" said Gray. He was sitting right beside Erza and Happy, and was looking at the field, wondering who would be the winner of this match.
"Begin!" called Gildarts.
Natsu and Gajeel ran at each other to punch the other in the face. Gajeel threw his fist towards Natsu, but he ducked and punched him in the chest. Next Gajeel lifted his knee and hit Natsu in the chin which caused him to fly up off the ground. Natsu managed to land on his hands and started to back flip on to his feet again.
Next Natsu ran up to kick Gajeel on the side of his head, but the iron dragon slayer lifted his fist and blocked Natsu's foot. He then threw his fist at Natsu again, but the pink haired boy blocked it with his hand. He then used his other hand to punch Gajeel in the face, which gave Natsu a chance to free himself as Gajeel held his nose from the attack. He wasn't expecting it to hurt this much, this meant that he needed to ready up his game now!
The two dragon slayer ran up to each other and started to attack each other as fast as they could. They were both punching and blocking at rapid speed and it started to look like this fight just went DBZ style, the two of them continued to punch, dodge, and block each attack every pasting second and it looked like neather one was going to back down anytime soon. Natsu and Gajeel kept on punching each other as fast as they could, Natsu punched from the left, Gajeel leaned his head to the right, Gajeel punched from the right, Natsu leaned his head to the left. This was looking like it was repeating for a while until Natsu thought of a way to broke the pattern.
He caught Gajeel's left hand and held on tight, he threw a punch with his other hand but Gajeel used his free hand to catch Natsu's. The two then started to lift their knees and their started to coillied with each other as well. Neather one of then loosened their gripon their opponent's arms and continued to hold on tight.
The students were starting to get amazed by how this fight got so exciting so quickly, most of them took out their phones to record to brawl that was happening infront of them.
Natsu decided to start taking things to the next level. He lit his elbow on fire and called, "Fire Dragon Elbow."
A magic circle surounded his elbow and shot a jet of fire out of it, the boost caused Natsu's arms to break free and punch Gajeel on the face with a tons of more force then better. This force sended Gajeel flying backwards towards the other end of the field and caused him to hold his cheek in pain, he was not expecting that much force so quickly.
He wasn't the only one, cause the rest of the room was just as surprised as he was. They couldn't believe what they just saw. Natsu shot fire out of his elbow!
"How did he just shoot fire out of his elbow?" asked a random student.
Back on the field, Gajeel had recovered from the attack and looked at Natsu. Anyone could see the excitment written all over his face.
Gajeel quickly ran up to Natsu, while doing so he turned one of his arms into a iron club, then he thrusted it forward towards Natsu. but he quickly jumped to avoid it and when he landed on the club he started to Gajeel. When he was close enough he set his feet on fire and kicked Gajeel in the face while calling, "Fire Dragon Talon."
The impact caused Gajeel to fall on he back, but he got up quickly and started to run at Natsu again. This Natsu ran up towards Gajeel and both butted heads, they then grabbed each other's hand and started to headbutt each other repeatedly.
"Got to say, you really are impressive. But your not going to last too much longer in this fight, cause I'm taking you down!" said Gajeel as he and Natsu continued to headbutt each other.
"Don't be so sure, I never go down easily. But you have been training hard like you said, you came prepared and for that you earn my respect, but still I haven't lost yet." replied Natsu.
The two of them let go if each other's hands and when back to close range combat, only this time their started kicking each other as fast as they could. Gajeel then tried to lift his knee to hit Natsu in the stomach, but the pink haired dragon slayer caught it and pushed it down again. Gajeel then started to punch at Natsu with everything he had, but Natsu kept on dodging the attacks.
Natsu then started to back up to prepare for his next attack, "Fire Dragon Sword Horn." he called.
Natsu then surounded his body with fire and charged in towards Gajeel and tackled him to the ground. This took the iron dragon slayer by surprise, but he quickly got up again after the attack.
"Ok, you were right about you being stronger than I thought you were. So I guess I'll just make it harder for you to deliver damage to me!" said Gajeel. A magic circle appeared under his feet and a moment later, his body started to get covered in iron scales.
"Uh oh!" said Natsu.
"Uh oh is right, for you that is!" replied Gajeel as he then started to run up to Natsu ready to attack. Natsu stood his ground for whatever may come his way, he knew that a transformation in appearance means a boost of power or anything else, so that meant he needed to be a lot more careful than he was before.
When Gajeel was close enough he then started to attack Natsu by throwing as many punches as he could. However all that Natsu was doing was dodging them as fast as could, he wasn't throwing a single punch or blocking the attacked, he was just dodging.
"What's the matter pinkie, don't have enough time to fight back, all you can do is dodge?"
"Well, you're half right."
"Half?"
Natsu just smiled in response as he kept on dodging the attacks. After about a minute, Gajeel's punches began to slow down, and by the look of his face Natsu could tell that he was getting tired. Natsu quickly ducked the next punch and started to surround his fist with fire, "Fire Dragon Iron Fist."
He punched Gajeel in the stomach which sended him back a few feet. Gajeel tooked total fine, as his iron body protected him. Natsu on the other hand was in great pain and the look on his face was all the proof anyone needed to tell. He had just punched a guy that was covered in an iron metal body, and punching him with enough force to send him back a bit even with his hand on fire had to hurt.
"I'll admit that you are the first person to ever have enough force to push me back by punching me while I'm covered in scales. But I'm afraid this is as far as your going to get!" said the iron dragon slayer.
"I wouldn't be too sure!" replied Natsu smiling. Before anyone could say anything, there was a loud 'crack' sound. It echoed through the sparring room and caused everyone to wonder what made it, until Gajeel looked down. His iron dragon scale body was begining to crack around the area where Natsu punched him earlier!
"What?!" said Gajeel in complete shock. The rest of the class was just as surprised, they knew that it was possible to break through Gajeel's iron dragon scales but it had never been done until now!
"Looks like I'm getting closer to winning this thing!" smiled Natsu.
"Don't think that for a second that this gives you an adventage." warned Gajeel.
"Then I guess I'll just have to kept fighting then." replied Natsu as he ran up towards the iron dragon slayer with his fist covered in flames. Gajeel ran up to Natsu as well to continue the brawl, but Natsu put out the flames from his hands and just went back to dodging the attacks that Gajeel was trying to deliver. What was different about this time was that Gajeel was a bit tired out from trying to punch Natsu eariler and he wasn't punching as fast anymore. This gave Natsu the opportunity he needed, he lit his hands on fire again and started punching Gajeel whenever he got the chance to.
"Fire Dragon Talon." he called as he kicked Gajeel with his feet set on fire. This sended the iron dragon slayer back a few feet again, not only that but more of his armour began to crack.
'Shit, this isn't good!' he thought.
The two then ran up to each other and started to inrange in close quarters combat like before. They were throwing punches at each other, dodging the attacks, colliding their fist with each other's, etc.
"How much longer can they keep going. This fight is getting super heated!" said a student from the crowd.
"I think this battle hasn't reached climax yet!" replied another student.
Natsu and Gajeel were now on opposite ends of the field and were looking at each other with full determination in their eyes.
"Let's finish this." said Natsu.
"Agreed." answered Gajeel.
The two brought their hand together over their mouths and called out their version of the attack, "Fire/Iron Dragon Roar."
Two dragon roars came out of both of the dragon slayer's mouthes, Natsu blew out fire magic while Gajeel blew iron magic. The two forms of dragon slayer magic headed towards each other and finally coillied with each other. The two roar attack were now pushing against each other in a beam struggle to over come the other. A few seconds pasted by as Gajeel's Iron Dragon Roar started to push Natsu's roar back a bit, Natsu used more power in his attack and it started to push back Gajeel's attack until the two were equal again. A full minute has pasted and the roars kept on pushing at each other, but then they by had enough and the two attacks exploded!
The field was covered in dust from the explosion and a few students were coughing from the dust. Luckily Erza covered Happy's mouth so the the little cat with wings wouldn't have a problem with the dust.
Inside the dust cloud, Gajeel was looking around to see if he could find Natsu, but it was easier said then done, cause te dust made it hard to see in. It was very quiet, too quiet for comfort, that was when Gajeel heard the sound of flames in front of him.
"Found ya!" he said. he turned his arm into a club and thrusted it forwards, but he never heard Natsu yelled in pain, instead his club hit the wall.
"Over here!" said an all to familiar voice. Gajeel looked over and saw Natsu running up to him with his fist on fire.
"Fire Dragon Iron Fist." he called. Natsu punched Gajeel right in the face with as much force as he could. He then started to punch as fast as he could with both of his hands, it was hard, but Natsu kept on punching with all his might as fast as he could.
"AAAHHHHHHHHHHH." he yelled as he punched Gajeel as much as he could. It looked like Natsu had more than two arms as he punched at fast as he could. And with one finally shot, he broke through Gajeel's iron dragon scales of armor as he sharttered and Gajeel landed on his back.
Gildarts got up close to look at Gajeel, he put his hand on Gajeel's chest to see if he was fine, thankfully he was.
"The winner of today's sparring match is Natsu Dragneel!" he called. Not a moment later the bell rang and Happy flew over to Natsu and landed on his head.
"Thanks for taking care of Happy, Erza." he called.
"And thank you for the fight, Gajeel." he said to Gajeel as he regained conciseness.
"Just don't expect this to happen the next time we fight, cause next time I'll win for sure!" replied the iron dragon slayer as he was carried off towards the nurses office. Since the bell had rung, that meant that it was lunch time and Natsu quickly dashed out of the room, leaving a trial of dust behind.
(Lunch Time with The Ams)
The team were eating outside at one of the picnic tables enjoying the sun outside. Natsu was sharing his tuna fish sandwich with Happy, which the little Exceed seemed to be enjoying a lot. It seemed like Happy was trying to eat the whole sandwich for himself, "Hey, leave some for me, it is my lunch after all!" said Natsu.
The team laughed. Natsu was lucky that he had made a lot of sandwiches to full his tummy, cause Happy was just about doing the one right in front of him.
"(Haha, It's times like this at makes everything fine just fine.)" said Drago
"(I'll agree with you on that that, Drago.)" said Pikachu. He and the rest of Ash's Pokemon were eating their lunch next to the table that the team was sitting at. The laughter soon died down when they hear a noise near by.
"Did you gets hear that?" asked the pink haired dragon slayer.
"Yup, heard it loud and clear!" replied the straw hat pirate.
The team got in a fighting position and was ready to strike if what was near by was a threat. They waited first to see what they could be dealing with. When that sound maker came within sight, it turned out to be Serena, May, Dawn, and their Pokemon.
"False alarm, guys. They're harmless." Ash assured them.
"Hey Ash, friends of yours?" asked Dawn, looking at the teens beside Ash.
"Yeah, in a way." he replied.
"You know these girls, Ash?" asked Asuna.
"Yeah, they're my classmates." replied the aura user.
The girls were a bit hurt by Ash calling them just his classmates, but they realized that they haven't been spending much time with him for him to call them friends. But this seemed like the perfect opportunity to do so.
"Is it alright if we sit with you guys?" asked May.
"I guess." answered Ash.
The girls and their Pokemon joined the team as they almost finished lunch, they decided to get introductions out of the way first.
"I heard that you guys are the new students, right?" asked May.
"Right, I'm Asuna."
"My names Kirito."
"I'm Naruto"
"I'm Luffy."
"My names Natsu."
"My names Dan."
"(And I'm Drago.)"
"Ahhh, what is that?!" the girls screamed.
"Calm down, It's just Drago, my Bakugan." replied Dan.
"Oh, I've heard of those, and there are few Bakugan trainers in the school as well. Sorry for acting like that." apologized Dawn.
"(I wasn't expecting that reaction. But then again, you three are the first Pokemon trainers I've ever meet.)" said Drago.
The Pokemon were meanwhile having a discussion of their own. They were all introducing each other, talking about their lifes with their trainers, talking about the moves they know, etc.
Pikachu was enjoying the last of his Pokemon food when Dawn's Buneary came up to him to start a conversation. Pikachu finished his bowl of food when he saw the bunny Pokemon came up next to him.
"(Hi. Is there something you want?)" he asked.
"(No, I just wanted to get to know you a bit better. By the way, that battle you were in on your trainer's first day two weeks ago was really something, you're really strong.)" she said.
"(Thanks. Me and Ash train a lot when we're on our adventures through each region we visit.)" explained Pikachu.
"(Then you must have traveled a lot in order to become that strong.)" said Skitty, walking over to sit next to Pikachu.
"(Sure have.)" he answered. Buneary frowned because of Skitty taking Pikachu away from her conversation with him.
"(What kind of regions that you and Ash travel to?)" asked Fennekin as she approached Pikachu, which made Skitty frown since she wanted to ask that.
"(Well, Ash and I just got back from exploding the Kalos region two mounths ago.)" he answered.
"(Kalos! That means you traveled through my native region!)" Fennekin said with excitment.
The rest of the Pokemon were looking that the four little Pokemon talking about their travels, it was easy to see that Skitty, Buneary, and Fennekin, were trying to get Pikachu's attention.
'You lucky bastard. Not even trying and now you got a harem!' thought Talonflame. He then looked over at Ash and the other on the picnic table, he then looked at May, Dawn, and Serena, and then narrowed his eyes.
'I wonder if like trainer like Pokemon is really true.' he thought as he smiled thinking about what could happen between Ash and the four girls.
Meanwhile back with the humans at the table, they started talking about they kinds of things that had happened at school so far. The girls were surprised that Ash is friend with a Bakugan trainer, a pirate, a ninja, a wizard, two sword users.
"Wow, you all are really impressive to do a lot of things." said Dawn.
"Thanks." said Natsu. He then little something soft land on his head and knew just what or who it was.
"Hey, Happy." said that dragon slayer as he petted to little blue cat on his head.
"Aww, it's so cute. What Pokemon is at?" asked Dawn.
"It's not a Pokemon, it's a creature called an Excced." corrected Natsu.
"It looks like a cat if you ask me." said May. Happy suddeny got up and used his tiny wings to fly into May's head.
"Aww. He looks so cute while on your head, May!" said Serena.
"He felts so soft." replied May as she petted Happy. The little Excced enjoyed it a lot.
"Say Ash, I've been wondering, how are you going to battle tomorrow against Gary, Paul, and Trip?" asked Serena.
"I'll find a way. I went against the odds before and I can do it again."
Ash suddenly felt something pull one of the leggings of his jeans. he looked down to see Pichu raising his hand, asking Ash to pick him up. The young raven haired teen smiled and picked up his newest Pokemon.
"(Thanks, Papa.)" said Pichu.
Ash smiled at the little mouse Pokemon in his arms. It's cuteness quickly caught the attention of the three girls at the table.
"You know, Ash. I think you'll make a good father someday, seeing how to treat a baby Pokemon." said May.
"I'm just treating him like anybody shouuld treat a new born baby. It's nothing special really." Ash replied. He thought that he was acting normal for having become a trainer of a baby Pokemon.
"Hey Ash, I've been wondering, what Pokemon are you going to use for you battles tomorrow?" asked Naruto.
"I'm still thinking about it. All you need to know is that I'm defiantly going to use Pikachu." Ash answered.
"(I knew I'd get the chance to get some payback!)" cheered to electric mouse Pokemon.
"As for the rest of my team, I'll think of something by tomorrow." declared the young raven haired trainer.
"I think you should use that Infernape of yours, it took down Gary's Golem with ease!" suggested Dawn.
"That be a smart move since he did really well against Paul on Saturday." reminded Naruto.
"Saturday? Wait, you mean that you battled Paul with Infernape?" asked Serena.
"I'm guessing the story about me beating him got out!" said Ash.
"Yup. You should defiantly us him in your battles tomorrow." replied Dawn.
"Of course I'll us him, after all he wants to prove himself to Paul!" said Ash.
"Prove himself?" asked a very confussed May.
One short story later
"So your Infernape used to belong to Paul, but then he abandoned it and you take him in!? That jerk, he's cares about nothing but getting stronger!" said Dawn with a bunch of fury in her voice.
"Don't worry about it, Ash take them down just like he did before!" encouraged Natsu.
"Natsu's right, Ash doesn't back down with out a fight!" said Asuna.
"You know it! I'll make sure to be ready so that tomorrow I'll show those three what I'm made of!" said Ash with a confedent smile on his face.
"That's the Ash we know." smiled Natsu.
"(Yay for Papa!)" cheered Pichu.
"(And yay for always trying hard to achieve our goals!)" cheered Pikachu.
"Aye!" cheered Happy.
"It looks like we'll need a lot of popcorn for tomorrow." assumed Luffy.
"That's for sure, because tomorrows battles are going to be good." said Dan.
"(Let's hope Ash has a plan to counter attack when they least expect it.)" said Drago.
"Don't worry, Drago. I'm going to use the special move!" informed Ash. This caught the girls' attention.
"Special move?" asked May.
"Yup, that special move is my trump card to beating Gary, Paul, and Trip, tomorrow!" said Ash.
"What move is it?" asked Serena.
"Sorry, no spoliders. You'll have to wait until tomorrow." Ash said. This made to girls pout because they have been excited about the battles for the last two weeks, they were lucky that the wait will be over the next day, cause the whole school was just as impatient.
The pouting on the girls' faces soon disappeared when everyone saw Happy trying to lift Pichu to go for a fly together.
"Awwww. That's is the most cutest thing we've ever seen!" said the girls with stars in their eyes.
Everyone else laughed and found the seen to be adorable as well. Unfortunately someone was about to change the mood that eveyone was in.
"Pathetic."
Everyone heard the voice and some of them recognized it while others didn't. 'Well speak of the devil!' thought Ash as he turned around to face three familiar, but unfriendly faces.
"Looks like your having fun with your pokepals, Ash." said Gary with an arrogant smirk.
"Just great, and when things seemed so peaceful a second ago." said May.
"Well you three sure have a habit of poping up out of nowhere." said Ash.
"Who are those guys?" asked Asuna.
"That's Gary, Paul, and Trip. You know the jerks that tried to attack Ash two weeks ago." answered Naruto. Asuna, Kirito, Luffy, and Dan narrowed their eyes as they looked at the three. The three bullies that tried to attack their 'brother' over a dumb winning streak.
"We were walking by and saw you, so we decided to said 'hi'." said Trip.
"That's a first, usually you ways of saying 'hi' is by shoving into people or calling us weaklings." growled May.
"Well 'hi'. And now goodbye!" said Ash.
"What's the matter, Ash? Afried that we're here to spoil your fun?" taunted Gary.
"No, afried that your here to make fools of yourselves again, and I don't want to be responsible for your pirde getting crush. At least not until tomorrow!" replied the raven haired trainer.
"What's that suppose to mean?" asked a slightly annoyed Trip.
"It means that I don't want you three causing problems. I got a lot to think about in the next few weeks, so I need all the time I need to think about it." answered the aura user.
"So you thought about backing out of our battles I see." smirked Paul.
"Fat chance. Once our battles are over tomorrow, I'll be busy thinkig about the next event I'm in." corrected Ash.
"What event would that's be?" asked Trip.
"It's a secret, I can't say too much."
The three boys looked at Ash's rooster of Pokemon. They were quite impressed by the team that Ash had. Then they looked over at the table with the girls and the new students, they were surprised to see a blue cat with Pichu on the table.
"What Pokemon is that?" asked Paul.
"It's not a Pokemon, it's an Exceed. Pokemon aren't the only creatures that live on this planet." answered Natsu.
Paul then looked at Pichu to see it wiggle it's ears to get Happy to laugh.
"Why do you still have that Pichu?, you already have a Pikachu so you don't need it." he asked.
"So what if I already have a Pikachu, Pichu has nowhere else to go, plus it hatched so that makes him my Pokemon, plus everyone at home thinks he's great and he like my son in a way." smiled Ash.
'Awww. He's so sweet!' thought the girls. Their eyes were in the shape of pink heart, Ash's words truly made their hearts melt. Unfortunately Paul was about to ruin the mood again.
"Your pathetic."
Everyone except for Gary and Trip widen their eyes in surprise. The mood was defiantly ruined now.
"You have such a big rooster of powerful Pokemon and yet you decide to keep that weak useless little Pichu when you don't even need it. There's no point for you to keep it."
This got everyone very angry at what Paul just said. This is a baby Pokemon at he's talking about, and he's being a jerk like always.
"Hold it right there, Paul. You have no right to talk like that about Pichu!" yelled Dawn with anger.
"That's right, it's Ash's Pokemon and he can decide what he wants to do with him!" sanpped May.
"Not to mention that Pichu is just a baby Pokemon. He's not even twenty four hours old yet, he can't get that strong on such a short amount of time." yelled Serena.
"What makes you think that you can talk that way, didn't anyone ever tell you that if you don't have something nice to say then you shouldn't say anything at all?" asked Asuna with a lot of anger. Just who does this guy think he is, talking trash about her 'brother's' Pokemon.
The teens weren't the only ones that were angry by this, so were the Pokemon, Drago, and Happy, even through he was too young for Natsu to let him do anything to talk back.
"Paul, I don't know what your problem is, be don't ever insult anyone who's important to me again or you'll regret it, that I promise you." warned Ash. He was actually very angry that someone had said such a hing about his Pokemon, but was trying to contral his anger to avoid making a scene.
"I'm not scared of you, punk. Besides, you only won against me on Saturday because you got lucky."
"Wrong, I won because I was careful and throught things through. Strong trainers can hold their ground in the face of pressure. The reason I beat you and Gary was because I was prepared for a headed battle. I may have not known that I was going to battle you at day, but I leave home prepared for an emergency, that's how I beated both of you."
"I'll admit that you do know how to use words, but that won't help you against the three of us tomorrow!" warned Paul.
"We'll let the battles do the talking tomorrow. Just make sure your prepared." replied Ash. Three walked away from the group, leaving them with angry faces. It was clear that Ash was going to have his work cut out for him, he knew that he shouldn't hold back anything and teach them a lesson in showing other's some respect.
"I can't believe that jerk. Ash, make sure to slap some sence into them tomorrow, and show them who they decided to mess with." said Natsu.
"Don't worry, I'm not holding back. They want to talk to you guys like that, then they ask for me to go full out!" replied Ash.
"I think you should talk to Pichu and make him feel better." suggested Asuna. Everyone looked at Pichu to see him with a sad face and his ears dropped down. Ash was going to make sure that Paul paid for insulting his 'son' and making him feel like this.
"Yeah, Pichu. Don't listen to Paul, he's just mad that I beated him before and is trying to get me angry by insulting you. But all the things that he said about you are not truth. Sure your not as strong as most of my Pokemon, but it's because your still a baby. I promise to make him get want he deserves tomorrow, for you and everyone else!" smiled Ash.
Pichu looked up at Ash for a moment, only to see his 'father' smile at him. This made him feel better and jump into Ash's arms for a hug. Everyone smiled at the two making such a sweet scene.
(5 Minutes Later)
The team then separated to look around the school a bit more to see the things that they missed during the first two weeks of coming here. We now join Dan, he was walking around the main floor to see if he could find anything that he hasn't seen yet. He kept on walking until he saw Runo up ahead, she looked like she was having trouble carring a few things.
They then all felt down on the floor and created a big mess, which made the blue haired girl mad.
"Why do I always forget this stuff and end up carrying it the next day?!" she said as she began to start picking it up again. She was about to reach for a textbook when another hand picked it up before her. She looked up and saw the same boys that beated her in gym class two weeks ago. Dan Kuso
"It looks like you need a hand, mind if I lend you one?" he asked.
"Yes, please." she replied. Dan took half of the books the she was carrying, which lighten the load for her.
"Thanks, Dan. This really helps a lot."
"No problem. So, what is all of this?"
"It's a bunch of textbooks that I used to study from, but I always forget to put them back, which ends up having me to carry then all in the end. Now I have to got to all of my clases to drop them off." she explained.
"I'll help you, besides I have nothing better to do at the moment." Dan offered.
"Really, thanks a bunch." smiled Runo.
"(Not a problem, Dan and I are always happy to help someone in need.)" said Drago from Dan's shoulder. This caused Runo to look at Drago, she was surprised to see a Bakugan on Dan's shoulder.
"Your a Bakugan user?" she asked.
"Yup, this is my partner Drago." Dan replied.
"(Please to meet you Runo.)" said the Bakguan, introducing himself to the blue haired girl.
"asweome, I have a Bakugan as well." she said.
"Really?" asked Dan.
"Yeah, her name is Tigrerra. She a great battler and is really strong." Runo explained.
"Well, I guess we'll have to battle someday." suggested Dan.
"I look forward to it!" replied Runo. The two of them continued to walk towards Runo's classes to drop off the textbooks. She was glad that she had company this time, cause it gets very lonely doing this by herself.
(With Natsu)
The young dragon slayer was waiting around the outside of the school with Happy resting on his head. Natsu decided that walking around the school building a lap or two might help him focus on how he was going to prepared for the New York Marital Arts tournament. He was just as eager to fight all the opponents at the event, as well as his 'siblings'. He always wanted to see how each of them are against other people, or how good the other fighters in the city were. This tournament was the perfect way to see it all, it was only a few weeks away and he and the rest of the AM warriors have plenty of time to prepare, he just hoped that other would do well.
Natsu kept on walking walking around the building. However, he had the strangest feeling, it felt like he was being followed. He worried for Happy's safety, so he held the blue cat in his arms and looked behind him to see if there was anyone here. there was no one to be found, but he knew that he was being followed.
"Ok, whoever you are show yourself cause I'm tired of being followed and would like to move on. If you don't, then I'll just wait until you show yourself." he warned.
He and Happy waited for a moment until someone showed their legs out from back a tree, then the whole person reviled herself to be Lucy.
"Why ya following us Lucy?"
"I just want to hang out with you a little bit since I'm bored and have no one to talk to."
"Alright. I guess I could use someone else to talk to as well, someone who wasn't born this morning." smiled the pink haired dragon slayer as he looked up at the blue cat with wings.
Happy was now flying off Natsu's head and flapped his tiny wings over to Lucy. The blonde haired beauty held out her arms for Happy to fly into. He flew into her arms and was rocked back and forth like a human baby.
"Aww, your such a cute little kitty, Happy." said Lucy to the blue exceed.
"Aye!" replied the cat.
"You two seem to be pulling it off well." smiled Natsu.
"Thanks, he's such a cute little creature." said Lucy.
The two of them then started to walk laps around the school building with Happy resting in Lucy's arms. They started to talk about any plans for the weekend, but Natsu only had one word to about that. Training.
"Why are you planning on training so much over the weekend, Natsu?" asked Lucy.
"There's a martial arts tournament happening soon, so I plan to compete in it to see how strong I'am against the rest of the fighters in New York!" explained Natsu.
"Wow. I've never seen you fight before, I wish I was in sparring class so the I can see you in action!" said Lucy.
"Don't worry, I promise to put on a good show if you ever get the chance to see me fight." replied the pink haired teen.
Happy then decided to fly back into Natsu's head, but the second his body touches Natsu's head, the dragon slayer remembered something important.
"Oh man, I completly forget about something! Sorry, Lucy, but I got to go, it was nice talking to you though." said Natsu as he started to run away towards the school.
"Bye, Natsu." said Lucy with awkwardness in her voice. She wondered what Natsu had forgotten.
(With Ash)
The young aura user was now walking through the halls thinking about what Pokemon to use in his battles tomorrow. One things for sure was that tomorrow was going to be really tough, he knows that if he makes one mistake, then everything will come crashing down on him. He knew that he needed to she the three bullies exactly who they're messing with!
Ash continued to walk through the halls of the school when he suddenly a man struggling with some books he was carrying. Ash being the helpful guys that he is decided to help the man out.
"Excuse me sir. Do you need any help with those books?" he asked the man, or rather the books since they were covering his face.
"Oh yes. I would like some help young man, thank very much." replied the struggling book man.
Ash raised his hands to pick up 7 books. Ash had no trouble carrying about that many since he trains his body about everyday of his life since started living with Master Pan. With fewer books in front of the man's face, Ash could now see who it was. His eyes widen when he recognized the man's face from his first day of his journey in the Sinnoh region.
"Professor Rowan?!"
"Ash Ketchum?!"
The two looked at each other with a surprised look on their faces. Both had the same question running their head, 'What's he doing here?'
Ash Decided that he should be the first to say something.
"It's nice to see you here Professor!" he smiled.
"Well, it's nice to see you here as well, Ash! But I must ask, what are you doing here in Epic High?" asked the lead professor of Sinnoh.
"I came to this school now. I've been attending here for about two weeks now. But now for me to ask you to same question."
"I'm a teacher here for to students!"
"What?! How can you teach here, keep on studying Pokemon, and give the Sinnoh starters out to new trainers all at the same time?"
"Don't worry, Ash. I can did all three at once, I've already have been for the past year."
"If your should."
Pikachu decided to help out as well. He jumped on the books that Ash was carrying to picked one up then he jumped on to the floor. "(I'll help too)" he said.
"Looks like Pikachu wants to lean a hand." smiled Ash.
"Well thank you as well Pikachu." said the professor.
"So Professor, where do we take those books?" asked Ash.
"Just follow me!" replied the researcher of Sinnoh. He lead Ash through the halls of the school to get to their destination.
(At the Meeting Room)
Inside seated at a table are five faces that Ash will recognized when he walks in with Professor Rowan. These five people have heard about Ash's accomplishments during his first two weeks of school and are very eager to see him again. Luckily they didn't have to wait longer!
"I can't wait for tomorrow. I hope Ash wins!" said one of them.
"I hope so too. I hear of the strikes that he made for the battles an it's really starting to worry me!" another person in the meeting room.
"Let's have a bit of faith in him, and hopefully he'll do well!" said another person, who was female.
Suddenly the door to the room opened with Professor Rowan walking in with the books he was carrying and a young man carrying a large amount of books as well that would be too much for other teens his age to carry!
"Thank you Ash and Pikachu, both of you helped me out a lot with these things." thanked Professor Rowan.
"No problem, we were happy to help." said Ash
"(I was glad to lend a hand!)" replied Pikachu.
Ash was about to leave when he saw five more familiar faces from his journey through out the regions. There was of course Professor Oak from his period one class. But there was also Professor Elm, Professor Birch, Professor Juniper, and Professor Sycamore. Ash and Pikachu were surprised to see them all here, Pichu on the other hand was very confused.
"Hello there, Ash. It's nice to see you again after a while!" greeted Professor Elm.
"What are you all doing here?" asked the aura user.
"We teach here." replied Professor Birch.
"How do you find time to teach here?, continue you research?, and give starters out to trainers?"
"It's not that hard really. We always have time for it, plus we want to help trainers become stronger and understand Pokemon better." answered Professor Juniper.
"(Wow, this day is full of surprises!)" whispered Pikachu.
"I know right." Ash whispered back.
The adults then looked at the Pichu on Ash's head. The little guy was smiling as he played peek a boo with his ears, this warmed the hearts of everyone in the room.
"Aww. Ash is that the adorable little Pichu the school has heard so much about?" asked Juniper.
"Who else would it be?" replied Ash.
"Your right, it was silly to ask!" said Juniper.
"He looks like he's very playful." noticed Birch.
"Well, things have been going smoothly since he hatched." explained Ash.
"(What about those three as lunch earlier?)" asked he starter.
"Oh, I forgot." sighed the aura user.
"Forgot what?" asked Elm.
"It's nothing important. What is important is how did you all know about Pichu?" Ash asked.
"News around this school spreads quickly. Like how three trouble makers attacked you!" explained Oak.
"I see you heard about that!" Ash frowned.
"Are you alright by the way?" asked Sycamore.
"I'm fine. The fools were too slow to even lay a finger on me!"
"(Wish the same could have been true for me.)" sighed Pikachu. He still remembered how hard Trip's Serperior squished him, he thought he was going to die from a lack of oxygen.
"Professor Oak, you do know that when you said trouble makers, you meant Gary as well right?" Ash asked to professor of the Kanto region.
"Of course I do."
"Do you consider him a problem as well?"
"Yes, he always thinks that he's the best there is because of his winning streak, he always said that he's going to be all the champions of all the regions and think too highly of himself. He doesn't thank his Pokemon for all the work that they do thinking that wins are his victories. And his arrogant attitude makes him think he can pick on others. It's even harder that I have to raise him and my granddaughter as well."
"What happened to their parents?"
"Car accident."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"Anyway. I'll be rooting for Ash. I'm sure that if you can beat Gary and the other two, then he'll see that he greatly needs to change."
"Don't worry, I promise to do my best, and I'll put on a good show too!" smiled the raven haired teen.
"I can see you you've gotten stronger over a last few years!" commented Rowan.
'And more handsome as well!' thought Juniper. The last time that see saw Ash was during his adventures in Unova. It was when he went to pick up his Pokemon that she was keeping for him at her lab during his journey, when he was done and ready to head home for New York she bought him a ticket to a cruise that was going to travel through the Decolore Islands to New York. He thanked her for taking care of his Pokemon the boarded to cruise ship where he said his finally goodbye to her as the ship disappeared. That was almost a year ago, 10 months to be exact. She continued to look at Ash as she saw how different he looked in such a short amount of time. He grow about two inches taller, he was wearing a different jacket from the one he wore in Unova, and his arm muscles are a bit bigger than the last time she saw him! Plus, after seeing him walk in helping Rowan carry 7 books with 787 pages in each, it was clear that he was stronger than most kids his age!
"Well I better get going, it was nice to see all of you again!" said Ash as he started to exit the room.
"Good luck in your battles tomorrow, Ash! We'll be watching you!" said Juniper. The young trainer left the room, he knew that he had to do his best to win tomorrows battles.
(3 Hours Later)
The AM warriors had made it home about thirty minutes ago an are just about finished their homework. Their decided to take break from both training and patrolling the city, since it's been really quiet lately and Pan always gave a day off from training one every week. The team had no idea why the city has started to calm down a little bit. Their greatest guess was that B.A.D was up to something big and was stopping their crimes for a bit to want on it. But they weren't so sure yet, they would have to pay them a visit and beat the answer out of them.
"All done. I'm so ready to watch some Dragon Ball Super!" said Dan.
"Maybe you kids should watch this first." said Pan. The team turned around to see Pan looking at the TV. It was turned on to the news and by the looks of it, their were talking about the martial arts tournament!
(TV)
"Welcome everyone and good evening, I'm Sid Cargo and with me as always is Maddy Farebed."
"Hello everyone, today we'll be telling you about an event that's going to be taking place in Central Park next weekend. New York's first Martial Arts Tournament. Where fighters from across the city will be competing to see which one of them is the strongest!"
"That's right, Maddy. The city has been preparing for weeks to set this event up. With it, we'll all be able to see just how many talented fighters this city has, those who are hiding some combat talent can show it off here at the event where many sports or fighting fans can get a kick out of the action. Sign outs are still going on, so those fighters who are interesting in joining still have a chance to sign up for the event!"
"We'll also be there on the day the tournament starts, we have been in formed that the event will last for a number of days so that means that the event will last for more than a day. The officials in charge of the event have told us that they'll be having it on the weekends, so any teenage fighters won't have to worry about missing school. With this information given to us, it's clear that this tournament will last for about a month if it's held on the weekends only. So we'll have to wait and see how this event goes!"
"That's right, Maddy. But it looks like that's all the time with for now, stay tuned as we'll see how a 23 year old house wife/mother makes models of her family out of Popsicle sticks!"
"Wow, it's a good thing that we signed up for the tournament before we came home, otherwise we might not have enough spaces for all of us to compete!" said Asuna.
"I know. It be no fun if you guys aren't there to fight with me." replied a leaf ninja.
"We will have to go up as each other eventually you know!" stated Natsu.
"Well don't think that for a second that I'm going to go easy just because you guys are my family!" warned Luffy.
"I was thinking the same thing!" said Ash.
Luffy, Naruto, Ash, Dan, Natsu, Kirito, and Asuna looked at each other with smiling faces, promising that no matter how much they care about each other that they will not hold back during the tournament!
Pan smiled at his children, he was proud at how much they have each grown during the years of his caring, he hoped that they would do well during the event. He started to wonder about what other fighters will be at the tournament!
(With Serena, Dawn, and May)
The three girls have decided to head over to May's house to hang out a little bit. The main topic in their heads is Ash, and how he's going to do tomorrow against the school's three strongest trainers!
"Do you think that Ash will do alright tomorrow?" asked Serena. She was still worrying about the outcome of the battles the next day.
"Now that I think about it he is getting a run for his money, I'm not so sure that he'll do as good as I said he would." replied an equally worried Dawn.
"Well it all depends on how Ash counter attacks them and how strong his Pokemon are! Specking of which, I wonder what kind of Pokemon he has anyway?" asked May.
"I guess we'll have to wait and find out tomorrow." said Serena.
The girls kept on walking until they reached May's house. It had a red roof and was painted white everywhere else. May opened the door with her key and let herself and her friends inside. The three teens took off their shoes and walked into the living room were they were surprised to see a few faces!
"Mom?!" said Serena and Dawn as they saw their mothers sitting on the couch with May's mom.
"Hey girls, glad to see your all here safe and sound." smiled Grace as she drank her tea.
"What are you doing here?" asked Dawn.
"We just wanted to see other each again after such a long time. We're good friends with each other too ya know!" answered Johanna.
"Plus, we all wanted to celebrate the news about Ash and his family returning!" added Caroline.
"Wait!? How do you know Ash?" asked Serena.
"The School website." answered May's Father Norman. The three girls looked over to see him on the computer on the school website.
"Also, we're great friends with his parents as well!" said Grace.
"Really?!" asked Serena.
"Come see for yourselves." said Johanna. She took out a photo album from one of a shelf in the room and started looking for a set of pictures to show the girls. When she found what she was looking for, she showed the girls. In the picture was Serena, Dawn, and May when they were just 4 years old. But in between Serena and Dawn was a boy that looked actually like Ash, but younger.
"Who's that?" asked May's younger brother Max. He pointed towards Ash in the picture.
"That's Ash Ketchum. His parents are good friends with us and he played with the girls a lot when they were younger. You weren't born back then, so you haven't me him yet, dear." answered his mom.
"I knew he looked familiar! When I saw him on the first day two weeks ago I knew that I recognized him, but I couldn't put my finger on it." cheered Serena.
Her mother giggled at her reaction, "I knew you'd be happy when you remembered. But I wonder what your reaction would be if I told you that you did something to him when you were younger!".
"W-What did I do to him?" asked the blonde Kalos girl.
*Flashback*
The four future Pokemon trainers were playing in he living room of Serena's house. This was in fact the fifth play date that the little four year old children were having. The three girls and one boy really hit if off on their first play together! Ash brought some books that he had on Pokemon and shared it with the girls. The three thought he was very kind and caring, this cause the three girls to grow a bit of feelings the young raven haired boy!
Each of them fell for him in their own way. Serena fell for him when he saved her during summer camp. And over time, the more they played together, the more she got closer to him and her attraction towards him grow stronger.
Dawn fell for him during their second play date. The kids were having a snack of cookies after playing soccer outside. Dawn had already finished her plate of cookies but she still wanted more. Her mother said that they were all out, which made her sad. Until Ash gave her his last two cookies, he already ate two and wasn't very hungry so he gust gave them to her. His reward was having her fall for him even more than before. His kindness made her feel very happy to be near him.
And finally, Ash won May's heart on their third play date. The adults had put the kids in the bedroom for a nap. However Ash wasn't sleepy and got out of the room quietly so he wouldn't wake the girls up. May was the only one who also awoke and decided to follow him.
It was a good things that Ash left because who knows how he would react to was Serena and Dawn said in their sleep!
"*Ashy, kiss me sweetie!*" said Serena in her sleep!
"*Ash, I want to have a family with you!*" Dawn sleep talked. She held the pillow and hugged it tight as it was Ash himself!
May followed Ash to the basement, where he was doing a bit of exercises. He was doing push ups, sit ups, jumping jacks, stretching, etc. She watched as he continued to work out his body and wondered why he was doing this. When Ash spotted her, and answered her question. He wanted to become stronger like his Pokemon when he becomes a trainer. He wanted to grow with his Pokemon to become stronger and be able to face anything in his way.
May asked if she could join him and he agreed. The two then started to make their bodies sweat a lot, but May didn't have the will power to continue on so she just watched Ash work out. By the time he was done, he had become a lot stronger than he was 2 hours ago.
When they decided to head back upstairs May was too tired to climb up, so Ash offered to carry her. He lifted her bride style and started to head up without letting the adults see them. May was lost for words at what was happening. She was being carried by her new friend! She looked at his arms and her eyes widen at how much bigger they were two hours ago! She just had to touch them, and oh boy did they feel different, but in a good way.
When they got to the room Ash slowly walked in trying not to walk up Dawn or Serena. He gently put May on the bed that she was put in for nap time. May blushed at Ash's strength and at how gentle he was at handling a woman at such a young ago. He went back to his bed and the two pretended to be asleep until they actually fell asleep.
But luck wasn't on their side, cause right when they were about to fall asleep their parents came in and started to wake everyone up cause nap time was over. And that they were now going to the park!
However both Ash and May ended up falling asleep for the whole trip to the park, and at it as well. Ash's mom was just as confused as May's mom, but the big different was that while in his sleep Ash was sweating and his body felt warm the whole time. This caused Delia to worry a lot. So for the whole trip to the park, Ash and May ended up napping on the benches. Serena and Dawn would come to check on them a few times, but would also join them because they want to be close to Ash. The girls and the adult noticed that Ash's arms grew a bit during the last few hours! Which made them wonder what happened.
So the shorter version is that all three girls ended up growing feelings for Ash. The poor lucky bastard was too dense to know how lucky he was. So he was now the center of a harem!
So we now return to their fifth play date as mentioned before. The four kids were now playing with a bouncy ball, throwing it back and forth at each other. Everything was going just fine for them, until May threw the ball higher than expected. Serena tried to catch it but it flew over her and caused her to loss her balance, which then resulted in her falling on her back.
Ash went up to her to see if she was alright. He offered his hand to her so that he could help her up. Serena then remembered that this was the same as how she met Ash at summer camp a few months ago. She stared at her prince charming for a bit until she had an idea!
She grabbed Ash's hand and let him pull her up like when they met, but this time there was a twist! She leaned in closer to Ash's face and locked her lips with his! 4 year old Serena had just kissed 4 year old Ash on the lips! She held his shoulders tight to feel more of the moment, completely ignoring the fact that both May and Dawn were behind them. She then separated her lips from Ash's lips and looked at him with dreamy eyes and a red face. However she was not going to get the reaction that she hoped for. Ash ended up backing away and running towards the adults while screaming and whining about having 'girl germs' on his mouth!
When everyone heard what Ash had to say they all laughed at how clueless the young raven haired boy was. they held on to their stomachs and felt like their sides were going to split open. Both Ash's parents and Grace were in fact happy at what Serena did, while Delia tried to calm her little man down from a memorable experience at such a young age, Grace hugged her daughter trying to calm her down as well. Serena was crying waterfalls of sadness, she was heartbroken that HER Ash didn't like her present to him. Dawn and May meanwhile pouted at how Serena beat them to make a move on Ash first, and this did not go unnoticed by their parents.
*Flashback Ends*
"I-I-I kissed him?!" asked Serena as her head was releasing steam from her ears!
"Yup! I wish I could have seen it though. My little baby girl having her first kiss at the age of 4!" Grace sighed in happiness.
"MOM!" yelled the honey blonde teen. Now her mother was adding more fuel to the fire, which she did not need at the moment. She couldn't believe that she gave her first kiss to Ash at the age of 4! But she's not complaining!
"I can't believe that you gave Ash your first kiss all those years ago, Serena." said Dawn with a surprised voice, but if someone had listened hard enough they could hear the jealously in her voice. That didn't go unnoticed by her mother.
"Don't be upset, dear! After all you to caught up soon after!" she informed.
*Flashback*
The kids were now at the park enjoying their seventh play date. Ash had forgotten about the whole kiss thing a few weeks ago and it changed nothing about how he saw Serena, it was like that thing never even happened. Serena however was still attracted to Ash and her feelings for him are unchanged, she decided to try a different approach next time. Not only that, but Delia and Grace thought that they should start talking about arrangements for Ash and Serena to get married when they're old enough!
Right now, the kids were at the sandbox playing with their buckets and shovels. May and Serena were making rivers and roads with the sand while Ash and Dawn were building and castles. They had already build three and were on their way to four. Once they were done, Dawn suggested they play castle. Ash agreed and was about to call May and Serena, but Dawn stopped him and said that she just wanted the two of them to play, Ash agreed to this as well with little knowledge of why she wanted it to be just the two of them.
Dawn said that she was going to be a princess and that Ash was her knight in shinning armor. The raven haired boy liked that idea of being a brave strong knight, until Dawn made her next move that is! She came closer to Ash's face and connected her lips with his and kissed him while wrapping her arms around his back!
May and Serena soon turned their heads to the two and witnessed the show that they were seeing. Once Dawn separated her lips from HER shinning knight, she looked at him with stars in her eyes. But ash didn't have the same look!
Ash ran to his mom yelling about getting 'girl germs' from Dawn. The adults were once again laughing at Ash's complaining and clueless nature towards girls and romance. The laughter soon vanished when they saw Serena and Dawn hitting each other in a cat fight. Grace and Johanna quick ran over to pull their little princesses apart. When they asked why the two were fight, Serena answered to Dawn had kissed HER Ash, while Dawn said that Ash belonged to her!
*Flashback Ends*
"What!? I kissed Ash too?" asked a steaming blue haired girl.
"You did. And I still remember to dreamy look you had in your eyes when you did it!" giggled her mother.
"MOM!"
"That reminds me of when May locked her lips with Ash as well!" said Caroline.
"What!? I did that too?"
*Flashback*
About a month has pasted since the Pearlshipping kiss and everyone went back to normal as well. Ash put that whole thing behind him just like how he did with Serena, but Dawn still liked Ash the same way.
This was now the tenth play date and everyone was at Dawn's house in the basement watching Power Rangers Dino Thunder on TV. The grown ups were upstairs watching a movie for adults while the kids were in the basement. It was very snowy night and a strong snow storm was kicking in. No one was worried about what the storm could do, until the storm caused a power failure and turned off everything!
The kids were left in the basement screaming with fear. Ash was the bravest out of the four and told everyone to calm down and held on to one another. He felt someone hold on to him and wrapped their arms around him. Thankfully the power outage was short and the power came back on again. The lights helped light up the basement again so that ash could see who was wrapped around his body, and it turned out to be May while Dawn and Serena were in each others arms. May was happy that she was the one who ended up in Ash's arms as his were so warm and comfortable, she thanked him for his bravery and Kissed him on the lips to seal the moment. Dawn and Serena's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates at the sight of this. With the brown haired girl finished she looked in Ash's eyes with joy, Ash's eyes were not in the same state! He screamed about 'girl germs' on his mouth again and it caused to adults to come down. After Ash explained May kissing him, this time the parents didn't laugh, instead a large sweat drop appeared at the back of their heads. This was funny the first two times, but now it started to get old and Ash's parents worried about how Ash will act to romance as a teenager. They started to fear that they wouldn't get any grandchildren in the future!
Meanwhile the three girls were having a three for all cat fight and hitting each other with their mothers trying to stop them a pull them apart. May, Dawn, and Serena were arguing over who's going to be Ash's girlfriend when they get older, who was going to marry him, and who was going to have 100 babies with him!
Ash was still very dense when comes to romance and relationships so he didn't understand what the girls were talking about. The adults kinda thought that it was cute that the girls all have a strong attraction to Ash, but a big sweat drop appeared at the back of their heads when the girls said 100 babies.
'If they only knew how much work one kid is they regret saying 100' they all thought.
*Flashback Ends*
All three girls were having steam escape from their heads. They couldn't believe that they knew Ash since they were young, but all three of them kissing him as well! Now that he was back in their lives they just couldn't believe at what they heard from their parents.
"All three of you kissed him!? Haha, that sounds hilarious!" laughed Max.
"It's not funny, Max!" yelled May. She didn't need her little brother making this a bigger deal than it already was.
"Calm down, May. It's easy too see that you three still care about him like you did back then." smiled Johanna.
"MOM!" yelled Dawn.
"What? I'm only saying what's true, besides your steaming faces give it away!"
The adults laughed at their daughters expressions. They started to remember all the times that Ash and the girls played together. The girl would still argue over Ash and would so some cute and surprising things, like how they found the girls sleeping with Ash during nap time with two clinging on each of his arms and one using his chest as a pillow! Or when the kids would play house and while Ash ends up being the daddy, the girls would fight over who gets to be the mommy/Ash's wife, while the other two have to be the babies!
"Speaking of which, did any of you talk to him today?" asked Norman.
Serena was the one to answer his question,"Yeah we did. We also talked to some friends of his!". The three explained what Ash's friends are like and what they are, which surprised their parents a bit.
"Ash friends with a wizard, pirate, ninja, Bakugan user, and two sword users? What has he been doing for past few years?" asked Grace. She could hardly believe what her daughter and her friends are telling her!
"We're telling the truth, we talked to them face to face!" said May.
"Maybe we should talk to Delia again tomorrow if she's watching Ash at school!" stated Caroline.
"Watching Ash at school tomorrow?" asked Serena.
"Well I'm sure that she'll be there to watch her son during his battles!" replied May's mother.
"See her son's battles tomorrow? Wait, are you saying..."Dawn started, but did finished cause her mother finished the sentence for her.
"We're going to your school tomorrow to watch Ash's battles. Of course we're going, it'll be nice to see his parents again, and him as well, he must have grown into a handsome young man for all three of you to fall for him again, so it'll be great for all of us to reunite with him and his family!" she smiled.
"WHHHAAT?!"
(With Erza and Lucy)
"Natsu broke through Gajeel's dragon scales?!" asked Lucy. She and her red haired friend are at the park sitting on a picnic table. Erza was telling Lucy how Natsu beat Gajeel in sparring class. She was showing Lucy the whole fight on her phone. Lucy was quite surprised at what she was seeing, cause no has been about to defeat Gajeel if he uses his dragon scales. He has lost in the past, but never if he uses that spell on his body!
"I can't believe that Natsu was able to break through that, he is so strong!" cheered Lucy. She started to feel her heart speed up alittle, but decided to ignore it.
Erza could tell that her friend has started to take a liking towards the new pink haired student, but she said nothing cause she started to wonder just how strong Natsu was as well!
"He's skills are far greater than I expected them to be, it makes my think about challenging him myself!" she said.
"What?! Are you serious?" asked the blonde haired girl. If someone is strong enough for Erza to think about challenging him or her, then that person has to be crazy strong!
"Yup, maybe I'll challenge him tomorrow!" claimed the red haired wizard.
Lucy decided to change the subject now, since she was having a crazy time thinking that Erza just said that she was going to challenge someone, "So what are you planning to do after school tomorrow?" she asked.
"I'm thinking on watching those Pokemon battles between the new student and three strongest in the school!" replied Erza.
"Really? That sounds fun, maybe I'll join you!"
"You join 'us'."
"Us?"
"Our friends are going to be watching as well!"
"Really?! Well, I guess we'll be watch two trainer fight it out then!" declared Lucy.
(With Ash)
The young aura user was laying down his bed, he was having some difficulty sleeping, cause tomorrow was the big day! He was going to battle Gary, Paul, and Trip in front of the whole school. Now all this time he has been acting calm and cool cause he has full confidants that he could beat them, but the truth was that he was actually nervous about how he was going to do this!
He remembers the strikes that he made for the battles, if one of them beats him than he's their target for the whole year, both first and second semester. He wasn't scared about being targeted cause after everything that he and his family went through as the AM warriors, three bullies are just a bunch of house flies compared to everything else.
What has him worried is how the school will think of him if he losses, he's been told that many other trainers have tried to stand up to those three, only to loss and be humiliated in front of the whole school and picked on by them.
Ash was worried, not only will he make a fool out of himself if he losses, but he'll let the three of them get away with both attacking Pikachu and insulting Pichu without paying a price.
Ash looked over at his best friend and 'son' to find them sleeping like angels, peacefully and without problems. He didn't know why, but when he sees his Pokemon sleeping safe and sound it makes all his worries disappear. He then looked out the window of his room to see all his Pokemon sleeping in the backyard.
'Now I know how I'm going to beat them. All I got to do is believe in my Pokemon, because after everything that we've been through on my journey to becoming a Pokemon Master I know that they believe in me!' he thought.
He also has the 'special move' that he can use, if he uses it right then it could pull him and his Pokemon to victory. Ash went back to bed and took one last like at Pikachu and Pichu before heading back to sleep.
And that's a all! I'm very, very, very sorry that I made you wait so long for a now chapter for ALL my stories. I needed some time to think about what I want to happen during before the battles so other characters could get to now each other and learn more about the AM warriors.
Anyway, I will try my best not to make you wait this long again, but another reason that I haven't been writing is school, I think there must be someone out there that understands me!
Now you need to answer these two questions to get the next chapter in faster than this one!
1# Do you want me to have the characters from the animes from this story interact with each other, like how Serena, May, and Dawn interacted with Natsu, Happy, Dan, Drago, Naruto, Luffy, Kirito, and Asuna.
2# What is the 'special move'?
*Hint* One of it's alternate names is 'World Load Fist'
Do some research to find out and I'll see you soon!
