The Storm has Broken
Harry let out a loud sigh as he took in the damage done by the storm around him, everywhere he looked there seemed to be some sort of damage or problem. It would be a long time before things went back to the way they where and deep in his mind Harry knew that he would find himself with a few more permanent house guests in the form of the Pokémon whose home had been destroyed in the storm and was too scared to return.
"It looks like there was a lot of damage done by the storm," Ash said softly with a frown on his face as he looked around the area with Pikachu on his shoulders, "If you want Brock, Misty and I could stick around and help you clean this mess up, right guys?"
"Right," Misty replied with a kind nod of her head in agreement.
"It would not be any problem for us to help, in fact it might be for the best if we do," Brock said cutting Harry's next words off, "It is going to take a while for everyone to get things back to being a tiny bit like they were before the storm and we need to cross a bridge before we get to the next town and that will be closed for some time to be checked over because of the storm so we could stay here and help clean things up while waiting for things to be sorted out."
"But what about your journey? I thought that you only had a limited amount of time left to collect all of the eight gym badges if you want to be able to enter in the Indigo league this year," Harry said worriedly as he nervously eyed the three people in front of him, "I do know that there is a gym in the city-"
"I already have that badge and I only need to get one more badge," Ash said kindly cutting Harry off, "And the only way to get that last badge is to go to the next town. Besides I could turn helping you out into training and I could also train my Pokémon whenever I get a free moment."
"See? It is not that big of a deal," Misty said as she smiled at Harry, "Besides I bet that after a storm like this there will be some really interesting and rare Pokémon to see."
"Misty is right...for once," Ash said with a smirk as he muttered the last bit softly so only Harry could hear him, "If we did not stick around to help you out then we would just be walking around board out of our minds and not knowing what to do while feeling bad for not sticking around to help you out."
"If it helps then just think of it as us being selfish," Brock said kindly at the nervous expression on Harry's face, "Besides it would be really interesting to compare notes, I have a Vulpix too and it would be great to see the differences from a breeders point of view..."
"If you are sure, I can fix this by myself," Harry said slowly only to freeze at the quiet growl coming from down around his ankles.
"Vul! Vul! Pix!" Vulpix said as she sent her friend a pointed look.
"Ah yeah, and I have Flame to help me out and I am sure that the Pokémon will not mind helping me out," Harry said with a sheepish look on his face as he gazed down at the smug looking Vulpix, "But...if you are sure...I guess I could get it done a lot faster and-"
"Great!" Misty said cutting Harry off, "I say we start by fixing the Water Pokémon area!"
