They all leave the mansion and into the forest. "Wait. How do we find your friends?" Ash asks. Natsu, Lucy, and Gray open their mouths to say something then closed them because they had no idea. Serena face palms, while they give a sheepish laugh. "Not to worry for I have an idea." Clemont says. "The future is today thanks to science!" Clemont says as he starts building a machine. "Just give me 10 minutes. Look for your friends but stay in the area I need you guys to make this work." Everyone splits into 2 groups, guys and girls.
With the guys: "So what are your friends' names?" Ash asks. Natsu answers "We have a lot of them. There's Elfman, Lisanna, Mirajane, Gajeel, Wendy, Erza, Happy, Gildarts, Romeo, Alzack, Bisca, Jet, Levy…" Gray cuts in "…Droy, Reedus, Juvia, Carla, Lily, Freed, Bickslow, Nab, Warren, Max, Ecor, Macao, Wakaba, Laxus…" "And the Master, Makarov." They both say together. "Wow. Sounds like a big guild. You guys must have a lot of fun" Ash says. "Well that's what being in a guild is all about. Having fun with friends." Natsu says.
"Lets continue looking for your friends." Ash says. They both nod and continue to look for their friends. While looking, they all start talking about the adventures they had. "Wait, you guys switched bodies with fellow members?" Ash says laughing. "Yeah I switched bodies with one of Lucy's spirits named Loke." "And I actually switched bodies with Lucy." "Wow. Must have been hard for you to take off your clothes." Ash says. "Actually it would have been easy if Lucy didn't keep stopping me." Ash and Natsu laugh. "So Almost every girl you traveled with you shocked their bike or shocked them?" Natsu asks. "Yeah. Only one that didn't get shocked was Serena." "Wow. Sounds like she wants to be with you if she didn't need a new bike." Gray says "Shut up" Ash says, blushing a little. Both Natsu and Gray laugh with him.
With the girls: They barely even look for their friends and just talk and get to know each other. "So how did you get into Fairy Tail Lucy?" Bonnie asks "I got in thanks to Natsu. You see…" Lucy explains what happened. Serena and Bonnie have their mouth open. "So Natsu's Father is a dragon!" Serena says. Lucy nods her head and says "I know, crazy huh. Anyway what's with your brother Bonnie?" "Oh he likes to invent things. They usually work fine." "Until they explode." Serena finishes. "So if it doesn't work it will explode?" Bonnie and Serena nod then Lucy sighs. "Sounds like Natsu after eating too much fire." They all start laughing.
"So how would you guys explain Ash" Lucy says. "He's awesome. He takes care of every one of his friends and is very loyal." Bonnie explains. "But he can be an idiot sometimes." Serena says. "Still, he never gives up until the end." "Sounds like Natsu. I'm sure they will become really good friends." Lucy says. "What is Natsu like?" Serena asks. "Well he is much like Ash. Loyal, Strong, Caring for others, and an idiot. He almost never holds back in a fight, and he is always looking for strong opponents." "Something tells me those two are going to want to fight each other soon." Serena says. "Natsu gets carried away at times and if Ash's pokemon are strong then they may destroy an entire city." Lucy says. They all start laughing until they hear a rustling in a bush nearby.
When they go over to look a blue cat with a green backpack comes out. It looks at Lucy and says "Lu…Cy." and falls over. "Did that cat just say your name?" Bonnie asks and looks at Lucy. "Happy!" Lucy says as she rushes over to the cat. "Happy? You mean this is one of your friends!" Serena asks. Lucy nod as she picks up Happy. "We need to help him." Bonnie and Serena nod. They are about to take him back to Clemont when they hear a buzzing noise. They turn around to see a group of 5 Beedrill. "Run!" Serena yells and they all start running. No matter how far they ran, the Beedrill keep catching up to them. Serena stops and pulls out her pokéball. Bonnie and Lucy stop and turn. "Keep going! I'll try to stop them!" Serena yells back. "Not alone you're not, Dedenne help us out!" Bonnie says taking out Dedenne. Serena calls out Fennekin. "Open Gate of the Centaur, Sagittarius!" Sagittarius gets his arrows and bow ready for battle. "Fennekin use flamethrower!" "Dedenne use Thunder shock!" "Shoot those bee things Sagittarius!" Fennekin and Dedenne each hit one while Sagittarius hits the other three. The Beedrill get scared and fly off.
Lucy closes Sagittarius's gate while Serena calls back her Fennekin in her pokéball and Bonnie puts Dedenne in her bag. They all look at each other, then smile. They put their hands in the air and high five each other. Happy coughs as Lucy picks him up and they continue to get to Clemont. When they get to the area, the guys are already there. Natsu sees them and says "Hey girls any lu…" Natsu sees Happy in her hands. "Happy was attacked by Beedrill!" Bonnie says. Natsu and Gray rush over to the girls and take Happy. "Quick, lay him on the ground." Ash says. Clemont looks through his bag and finds some potion. "Ash. Catch." Clemont tosses the potion to Ash and he catches it. "So this is your friend Happy." Ash asks. "Yes but the only time I've seen him look this bad was when we faced Hades." Natsu says. "I don't know if this will work but it might." He points the potion at Happy and starts spraying. Happy starts groaning. "Sorry, this will sting a little but just fight through it." Ash says to Happy. Happy nods a little and ignores the pain. After the potion runs out, Ash tells Natsu Lucy and Gray "Now he just need to rest. Give him an hour, he should be fine." They all nod. They place Happy on a rock and got a pillow for him. "Well while we are waiting let's try my invention. Now I need one of you three to put this on. Lucy how about you" Clemont asks. Lucy immediately shakes her head no.
"Oh oh I'll do it!" Natsu exclaims. "Okay now put this on your head" Clemont hands him the head gear fixed into the gear. "Now imagine what your friends look like and we will see them on the screen." Natsu thinks about what his friends look like. They all start showing up on the screen. "Cool. Now we know what your friends look like." Ash says. The machine starts making a weird noise. "Oh crap." Clemont says as everyone ducks out of the way, but Natsu is still attached to it. "Hey! Get this thing off me!" Then the machine explodes. Natsu has ashes all over him and has frizzy hair. Gray laughs at him. "Nice going pyro." "Shut up freezer!" "You sure you want to fight Idiot" "Does this answer your question? Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" It hits Gray in the face. Gray uses ice make hammer to crush Natsu. As the fight rages on Happy actually wakes up. "So they're fighting again I see." Lucy smiles at Happy "You're awake! Are you okay?" She asks. "Yeah I'm fine. That potion really helped." Ash walks up to Lucy and asks "How is he able to talk? Is it magic?" "No he is an Exceed."
One explanation about Exceeds and Edolas later.
"So they have talking cats. That's so cute!" Bonnie says "We don't like being called cats though." Happy says as he is scratching the back of his head. Bonnie kneels down in front of him and says "Still you guys are so cute!" she picks up Happy and hugs him. After she is done hugging, they all watch the battle unfold. "Someone should stop them" Lucy says. "You did it last time, why don't you do it?" Ash says "They won't fall for the same trick twice. They may be stupid but not that stupid." Lucy answers. "Fine then I'll do it." Ash says. "Pikachu use thunder bolt on them." "Pika pika (yes sir!)" Pikachu's Thunder bolt hits them while Natsu is about to do his roar and Gray is in the middle of his stance. They both turn their heads toward Ash and fall over. "Are they okay?" Serena asks. "Yeah, just shocked. In more ways than one." Ash walks over to them. "We get the point you two want to kill each other but can you do it another time." They both nod their heads. "Well lets go find…" They hear a bunch of rustling nearby. They all get ready for an attack. "It might be the Beedrill with its friends" Serena says scared out of her mind. "Well we'll be ready for them" Ash says. They all get their pokéballs out and get their magic ready for the attack. As the rustling gets louder they get ready to run, or fight.
