Chapter 31 Trapped in a Blizzard and Enter Calem.

Hello everyone, the first half of this chapter will mainly cover the events of Snow Way Out focusing on Ash's Alolan Vulpix and the second half the group will reach Fuchsia City it'll also have Ash and Calem battle enjoy!

It's been 1 week since the gang left Saffron City during this time, they learned that Gary made a full recovery and battled Sabrina again. Gary said that the battle was a lot more challenging, but he still won and is now on his way to Cinnabar Island. They also learned that after Gary left Ritchie battled Sabrina as well and he defeated her easily making Ash excited to battle Ritchie again. After the battles Sabrina went to Delia's house and is currently living with her like Delia said Sabrina needed a break from being in the gym Anabel is currently taking over as gym leader and Sabrina is letting her parents take care of her Pokemon as they also need a break. The gang traveled to Lavender Town once they made it there Haunter got to reunite with its old ghost friends they got to play for a while Haunter and its ghost friends messed around with Ash's Farfetch'd causing the duck to chase them around the tower for 30 minutes after that they left. During the week Misty has been taking Psyduck's training seriously with Ash and Brock helping they tried to draw out Psyduck's psychic and waterpower, but the duck just keeps looking at them confused giving the three of them headaches as well as their Pokemon. But Misty doesn't want to give up as she really wants to make Psyduck stronger, Psyduck can feel Misty's resolve and tries to become stronger. Ash during the week has been training Pikachu and Raichu to summon multiple Thunders at once and Ash is also training Raichu to use Electric Terrain. Currently the group is outside a Pokemon Center Ash is training Pidgeotto and Vulpix so that they can master Brave Bird and Blizzard respectively Misty is currently holding Ash's Riolu egg trying to clean some of the dust off it while Brock is making lunch. We zoom in on Ash training as he makes a command.

"Ivysaur use Sludge Bomb on Pidgeotto, Pidgeotto dodge and try Brave Bird!" Ash calls Ivysuar fires the large poison bomb at the bird Pidgeotto dodges the Sludge Bomb it then tucks in its wings and starts descending downward. Pidgeotto's body is consumed in fire it then opens its wings and begins to fly straight with its body glowing a bright blue as it heads towards Ivysuar Ash smiles and makes a command.

"Ivysaur counter with Solarbeam!" Ash calls the plant dinosaur quickly charges the grassy beam firing it at the incoming Pidgeotto, Pidgeotto easily flies thru the beam hitting Ivysaur this makes the plant dinosaur soar thru the air and come crashing back down it groans from the pain while Pidgeotto flies back in the air but then suffers from recoil damage Ash then speaks.

"Good job Pidgeotto looks like you're getting close to mastering Brave Bird and thanks for taking the hit Ivysuar" Ash says with the two-mons nodding he then sprays them with a hyper potion making them smile Ash then turns his attention to Vulpix. Vulpix has been training to master Blizzard its currently able to use the move 4 times now but can't seem to do it a 5th time Ash looks to the fox and speaks.

"Okay Vulpix its time we finally get you to master Blizzard here's what we're going to do I want you to try and hit Pikachu, Charmeleon and Wartortle with Blizzard" Ash says with Vulpix nodding it gets a serious look on its face as it faces its teammates it begins to growl at them with the 3-mons getting ready Ash makes a command.

"Okay Vulpix use Blizzard!" Ash calls the ice fox quickly fires the massive Blizzard toward the 3 mons Pikachu, Charmeleon and Wartortle easily dodge it as Ash makes a command.

"Use Blizzard again!" Ash calls Vulpix fires another blizzard but the 3 dodge it, Vulpix fires 2 more Blizzard's trying to hit the 3-mons but Pikachu, Charmeleon and Wartortle are still able to easily dodge Vulpix then begins to pant as it launched 4 consecutive Blizzards in a row Ash looks at the ice fox and speaks.

"You want to see if you can do it a 5th time?" Ash asks Vulpix nods it gets in a battle stance and is getting ready to fire the move Ash nods as he makes the command.

"Okay Vulpix use Blizzard!" Ash calls Vulpix gives a mighty "Ko!" It begins to summon the massive blizzard which hits Pikachu, Charmeleon and Wartortle Ash smiles and speaks.

"That's it Vulpix keep going!" Ash calls Vulpix nods as it keeps firing the move Vulpix then stops it begins to pant heavily and faints Ash and his Pokemon quickly run to the fox Ash picks it up Vulpix looks at its trainer as Ash speaks.

"Hey Vulpix you were close, but it seems we still have a long way to go but as long as we continue to train, I just know you'll master Blizzard" Ash says with his Pokemon nodding Vulpix nods as well but still feels sad that it can't master the move Misty then speaks.

"Hey Ash lunch is ready!" Misty says Ash nods, he looks to his Pokemon and speaks.

"Okay once we've had some lunch let's go back to training" Ash says with his Pokemon nodding they quickly go to join Brock, Misty and the rest of their Pokemon and they begin to eat.

20 minutes later the group is done eating the groups Pokemon are currently playing ball except for Ash's Alolan Vulpix its still training trying to master blizzard Ash, Misty and Brock look at it as Misty speaks.

"Vulpix is still training to master Blizzard it should rest before it faints again" Misty says as Ash speaks.

"I wish there was a way to help Vulpix master the move easier" Ash says Brock looks at a map he sees something that catches his eye and speaks.

"I've an idea on the map there's a mountain filled with snow, maybe Vulpix needs to be in a snowy area to master blizzard. Also, it seems like once we pass the mountain, we'll be able to reach Fuchsia City faster." Brock suggests making Ash and Misty smile Ash goes over to Vulpix and speaks.

"Did you hear that Vulpix? If we go to this snowy mountain, it should be a lot easier for you to master Blizzard you want to try?" Ash asks the ice fox Vulpix looks at her trainer and gives a happy "Ko" making Ash and everyone smile Ash then speaks.

"Alright we've our next destination let's go!" Ash cheers along with everyone else they pack their things and head into the direction of the mountain. Meanwhile hidden in the bushes we see Jessie, James and Meowth they're back to watching Ash again they heard where the gang is going as James speaks.

"They're going to a snowy mountain next" James says as Meowth speaks.

"I'm freezing just thinking about it" Meowth says as Jessie speaks.

"Come let's hurry!" Jessie says she begins to quickly follow the gang James and Meowth look at each other confused about why Jessie's so eager James then speaks.

"Why's Jessie happy? doesn't she know we're going to an area filled with freezing snow" James questions, but Meowth shrugs his shoulders not knowing why either they then quickly follow Jessie.


30 minutes later the gang finally made it to the snowy mountain they're all wearing snow coats to keep themselves warm (Pikachu is wearing a mini snow coat) they walk around for a few minutes until they find a spot for Vulpix to train once they do Ash grabs Vulpix's Pokeball and speaks.

"Okay Vulpix I choose you!" Ash says bringing out the ice fox as soon as it comes out Vulpix begins to happily play in the snow.

"Pika" Pikachu says as it goes to join Vulpix the two begin to run around in the snow Brock's Vulpix and Misty's Dewgong come out of their Pokeball's they join Pikachu and Alolan Vulpix the three kids smile as Misty speaks.

"Look at how happy Vulpix is" Misty says as Brock speaks.

"It must've been a long time since Ash's Vulpix got to play in the snow" Brock says with Misty nodding Ash walks over to the Pokemon and speaks.

"Okay Vulpix you want to try and master Blizzard?" Ash asks Ash's Vulpix stops playing it walks over to its trainer having a serious expression on its face and nods Ash smiles and speaks.

"Okay let's give it a try!" Ash says with Vulpix nodding they then get into a position both Ash and Vulpix close their eyes Pikachu, Misty, Brock, Brock's Vulpix and Misty's Dewgong watch them, Ash and Vulpix then feel a cold breeze go by they quickly open their eyes as Ash makes a command.

"Vulpix Blizzard!" "Ko!" Ash commands Vulpix yells it summons a massive Blizzard Ash makes his next command.

"Again Vulpix!" Ash calls Vulpix nods it successfully fires another blizzard Ash calls for Vulpix to use Blizzard 2 more times Vulpix is able to successfully do the move a 3rd and 4th time Vulpix begins to pant but not as much as before now that they've reached the final one Ash and Vulpix close their eyes they take a deep breath as Misty speaks.

"Here it comes" Misty says with Brock and the Pokemon nodding Ash and Vulpix feel another cold breeze go by they open their eyes as Ash makes a command.

"Vulpix use one final Blizzard!" "KO!" Ash commands Vulpix gives a massive yell it summons its final Blizzard Ash begins to cheer.

"That's it Vulpix keep going!" Ash cheers Vulpix nods as it continues to fire the move Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Brocks Vulpix, Misty's Dewgong and Ash's Riolu egg begin to cheer on Vulpix as Vulpix keeps firing the move it suddenly stops it pants a few times then faints everyone gasp Ash quickly rushes over to Vulpix he picks up the fox and speaks.

"Vulpix are you alright? Vulpix!" Ash asks worriedly after a few seconds Vulpix opens its eyes it looks at Ash and everyone else the group smile as Ash speaks.

"Hey Vulpix you were able to hold on longer this time we're getting close I can feel it" Ash says with everyone else nodding Vulpix agrees but it still feels it could do better Vulpix then jumps out of Ash's arms it goes to use Blizzard again but faints immediately making everyone worried as Ash picks it up.

"Vulpix that's enough we can try again later you don't need to push yourself too hard" Ash says but Vulpix disagrees it then bites Ash's hand forcing Ash to let go of it. Everyone is shocked at what Vulpix did once Vulpix lands back on the ground it turns to Ash and begins to growl but stops once it sees Ash holding his hand in pain. Vulpix realizes what it did it gets a sad look on its face that it hurt its trainer Vulpix then starts to run away shocking the group as Ash speaks.

"Vulpix Wait!" Ash calls he's about to run after Vulpix suddenly the clouds become dark a massive Blizzard appears surprising the group as Misty speaks.

"Where'd this Blizzard come from?!" Misty questions but neither Ash nor Brock know as the storm is trying to blow the group away Misty returns Dewgong, Brock returns his Vulpix as Ash goes to grab Pikachu the wind blows harder forcing his Riolu egg fly out of his arms shocking everyone Ash then yells.

"RIOLU!" Ash yells his yell alerts Vulpix before the fox got too far away it turns around and sees the Riolu egg flying thru the air Vulpix quickly rushes towards it with Quick Attack the ice fox jumps high into the air and catches it. Once Vulpix does that it and the egg begin to be carried off somewhere else shocking the group as Ash yells.

"RIOLU, VULPIX!" Ash yells he along with Pikachu quickly go after them going deeper into the Blizzard Misty tries to go after them but Brock grabs her telling the girl it's too dangerous and they need to find shelter. Misty wants to go after Ash, but Brock is right, they need to find shelter and wait for the snowstorm to pass once it does, they'll go find Ash and Pikachu the two then go to find shelter.

Meanwhile, with Team Rocket Jessie is currently playing in the snow.

"Snow, Snow I love it so" Jessie says happily while James and Meowth look at her James then speaks.

"Jessie, I know you like the snow, but don't you remember our mission? we're supposed to be watching the twerp" James says as Meowth speaks.

"Jimmy is right and besides why do you like the snow so much? I'm freezing" Meowth questions while shaking Jessie stops, she looks at the two and speaks.

"You remember when that Looker guy said I was born in a small village right?" Jessie asks with James and Meowth nodding as she continues to speak.

"Well, when I was younger me and my mom would always play in the snow together, making snow angels, snowmen, we would even sometimes eat snow by making snow cones and snow sandwich's. It was something we always did together whenever it did snow but when she never came back from her mission the snow is all I've to remember her by" Jessie responds with tears starting to well up in her eyes James and Meowth get sad looks on their faces they walk over to Jessie and give her a hug James then speaks.

"Don't worry Jessie once we're done with this mission of following the twerp around let's go find your mother" James suggests Jessie looks at him and speaks.

"Really? You want to help look for my mother? But she could be dead" Jessie asks as Meowth speaks.

"We've only learned that she's missing there's nothing that says she's dead she's alive out there I'm sure of it" Meowth responds Jessie nods she smiles and speaks.

"Thank you" Jessie says with a smile on her face with James and Meowth smiling Jessie then gets a determined look on her face she stands up and speaks.

"Okay let's follow that Twerp!" Jessie says with James and Meowth cheering as they begin to walk forward a massive blizzard appears and blows the 3 away in the sky the 3 yell.

"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The three yell as they disappear into the sky we now go back to Ash and Pikachu who are running in the blizzard looking for Vulpix and the Riolu egg they both call out to them.

"VULPIX, RIOLU WHERE ARE YOU?!" "PIKACHU!" They both yell trying to hear a response but they don't hear anything as they begin to assume the worse, they hear a "Ko" Ash and Pikachu turn their heads at where the voice came from Ash and Pikachu also feel an aura signal from Riolu Ash then speaks.

"Come on Pikachu they're this way!" Ash says with Pikachu nodding the two quickly run in the direction of Vulpix's voice and Riolu's signal once they make it their eyes grow wide in horror as they see Vulpix barely hanging on a cliff with its paws while holding the Riolu egg with its six tails Vulpix gives a "Ko" for help Ash gets a serious look on his face and grabs two Pokeball's.

"Pidgeotto, Ivysaur I choose you!" Ash calls bringing the two mons out he quickly gives them commands.

"Pidgeotto fly over and grab Vulpix and Ivysaur use your Vine Whip to grab the egg!" Ash calls both mons nod Pidgeotto quickly flies over the blizzard tries to blow the bird away, but Pidgeotto fights thru it. Once Pidgeotto reaches Vulpix it picks the ice fox up with its talons it begins to fly back towards Ash, as they're getting closer Ivysaur fires its vines safely grabs the Riolu egg. As Pidgeotto goes to hand Vulpix over to Ash there's a massive gust of wind that makes Pidgeotto let go of Vulpix making the Ice fox fall Ash and his Pokemon get shocked looks on their faces as Ash yells.

"VULPIX!" Ash yells he quickly jumps after the fox shocking his Pokemon, Ash quickly reaches Vulpix grabbing it holding the fox in his arms Ash then speaks.

"It's okay Vulpix I got you" Ash says with Vulpix nodding as they continue to fall Pidgeotto roars it quickly flies after them before Ash and Vulpix hit the ground they both close their eyes readying themselves a few seconds later they open their eyes they see the ground but are floating above it they look up and smile when they see Pidgeotto grabbing Ash's shirt as it begins to pull them up Ash speaks.

"Good job Pidgeotto" "Ko" Ash and Vulpix say with the bird nodding as they're flying up the wind is growing stronger Ash can see that Pidgeotto is getting tired he looks to his right he sees a cave and the entrance is covered with snow Ash tells Pidgeotto to drop them off there the bird nods it safely puts Ash and Vulpix down.

A few seconds later Pikachu, Ivysaur (Carrying the Riolu egg) Join Ash and Vulpix Ash returns Pidgeotto to its Pokeball thanking it he then grabs another Pokeball and throws it.

"Charmeleon I choose you!" Ash calls the fire lizard appears Ash commands Charmeleon to fire a flamethrower to the cave entrance Charmeleon nods it fires the move it easily melts the snow allowing Ash and his Pokemon to enter. Once they do Ash notices that he needs to cover the entrance to the cave he grabs another Pokeball and throws it.

"Wartortle I choose you!" Ash calls as the blue turtle appears Ash then commands it and Vulpix to use Ice beam on the entrance both mons nod they quickly fire the icy beams covering the entrance with ice, so the snow doesn't get in Ash tells his Pokemon good job. Ash starts to feel cold he looks around the cave to start a fire with he sees a few sticks he and his Pokemon gather them together once they do Ash tells Charmeleon to use a small ember to start the fire. Charmeleon nods it shoots out a small flame which ignites the sticks successfully creating a fire Ash and his Pokemon cheer as they go toward it and begin to warm themselves up.


10 minutes later Ash and his Pokemon are still sitting next to the fire Ash looks to his Riolu egg and speaks.

"Are you warm Riolu?" Ash asks with the egg glowing making Ash smile his other Pokemon smile as well Vulpix's smile goes away it starts to think that if it wasn't so insistent on learning Blizzard, hurting its trainer and running away none of this would've happened. Vulpix gets up and walks away from the fire going into a dark corner and sits there Ash and his Pokemon look at the fox Ash tells Pikachu to look after the egg Pikachu nods Ash gets up and walks over to Vulpix. Once Ash makes it to Vulpix he sits down next to it and speaks.

"Hey Vulpix, are you okay?" Ash asks but doesn't get a response as the boy continues to speak.

"Are you still sad that you bit me? It's okay see the bite mark isn't that bad" Ash says with a smile on his face he still doesn't get a response as Vulpix continues to stare at the wall Ash then continues to speak.

"You know Vulpix none of this is your fault none of us could've predicted that a snowstorm would suddenly show up, so you don't need to blame yourself and besides because of your quick action you managed to save Riolu" Ash says smiling Vulpix looks to Ash, she gives him a "Ko" telling Ash if she had just mastered Blizzard none of this would've happened Ash nods then speaks.

"That's true but mastering a move like Blizzard takes time I'm pretty sure Clefable told you that when it was teaching you the move. Ash says Vulpix then remembers being on the beach of Vermillion City Clefable is training Vulpix to use Blizzard Vulpix tries time and time again but failing getting frustrated Clefable then tells Vulpix that it should just take its time and be calm there's no need to rush. Clefable said with Vulpix nodding it calms itself takes a deep breath and successfully fire's its first Blizzard making the ice fox, Clefable and Ash happy. Vulpix smiles remembering Ash looks at the fox and speaks.

"Don't worry Vulpix you'll master Blizzard one day I just know it" Ash says smiling his other Pokemon agree Vulpix looks at them and smiles. Ash suggests that they should go back to join the others Vulpix nods as Ash and Vulpix are walking over to the fire the ice that was blocking the entrance cracks it cracks and opens allowing the snowstorm to blow inside the cave entrance shocking Ash and his Pokemon. The storm easily blows away the fire they made making everyone cold (except for Vulpix) Ash quickly makes his command.

"Vulpix, Wartortle Ice Beam!" Ash calls the two mons quickly fire the icy beam to try and cover the entrance again but it's no use as the storm is two powerful it easily blows Ash and his Pokemon back making them all hit the cave wall. Vulpix gets up it begins to growl as it runs forward and begins to combat the Blizzard with its own, but it easily gets blown back into the wall again, but Vulpix keeps trying. As more snow is coming in the cave is becoming colder, Ash decides to take off his jacket putting his Riolu egg inside of it to keep it warm Ash then grabs Charmeleon's, Ivysaur's and Wartortle's Pokeball's and speaks.

"Return you'll be safer and warmer in your Pokeball's!" Ash calls but the three-mons decline they want to stay out with Ash, but Ash forces them back in their Pokeball's he then sees Vulpix crash into the wall again Ash quickly grabs her Pokeball and speaks.

"Vulpix Return!" Ash calls but Vulpix doesn't want to return it wants to stop this blizzard, but Ash forces the mon back in its Pokeball. Once Vulpix is back inside he looks at Pikachu and holds out its Pokeball.

"You'll be warm inside your Pokeball Pikachu" Ash says but Pikachu shakes its head no as Ash speaks.

"PIKACHU THIS IS AN ORDER GET INSIDE YOUR POKEBALL!" Ash yells Pikachu declines again the yellow mouse runs up to Ash's leg telling its trainer that it wants to stay out with him. Ash is surprised by Pikachu's response the 5 Pokeball's on his belt wriggle as Pidgeotto, Ivysaur, Wartortle, Charmeleon and Vulpix appear they all run up to Ash to try and keep him warm Ash looks at his Pokemon and speaks.

"You all want to stay out with me?" Ash asks with his Pokemon nodding they look at the boy and smile as the snow begins to flow in freezing them Ash looks to his Pokemon he smiles and speaks.

"Alright you guys win we'll be cold together" Ash says as a single tear falls from his eye, he hugs his Pokemon while his Pokemon hug him as more snow blows inside the cave, Vulpix wishes there was more it could do if Clefable or its old pack leader were here they would've easily gotten rid of this Blizzard. That's when Vulpix remembers something it remembers when it joined Ash Duplica gave Ash an ice stone so that Vulpix can evolve one day when its ready. Vulpix breaks out of the hug and goes to Ash's backpack it begins to dig thru it Ash looks at Vulpix and speaks.

"Vulpix?" Ash asks while shivering he and his Pokemon look at Vulpix they see it pull out the Ice Stone that Duplica gave Ash their eyes grow wide as they now know what Vulpix is going to do Ash then speaks.

"Vulpix are you sure?" Ash asks Vulpix nods smiling to its trainer and teammates it touches the ice stone with its paw Vulpix begins to glow a bright white it gets bigger, becomes pale blue, it starts to resemble a fox more, the six tails become bigger, and 3 more tails grow. Once the evolution stops what was a Vulpix now stands a Ninetales.

"NINE!" Ninetales gives a mighty roar Ash and his Pokemon look at the mon they're all in awe Ninetales looks back at its trainer and teammates it smiles at them it then looks back at the blizzard flowing into the cave. Ninetales gets into a battle position it gets a serious look on its face it closes its eyes it has used blizzard 4 times to combat the blizzard its now going to use it a 5th time Ninetales takes a deep breath once it does Ninetales quickly opens its eyes and gives a mighty roar.

"NINE!" NInetales roars summoning its 5th Blizzard to counter the storm Ninetales easily pushes it away stopping it from flowing into the cave. Ninetales walks to the entrance of the cave and continues to roar as the snowstorm begins to go away the sky also begins to clear once that happens Ninetales stops roaring it looks back towards its trainer and teammates, they all have shocked expressions on their faces surprised by Ninetales power Ash then smiles and speaks.

"That was amazing Ninetales you were able to use Blizzard a 5th time and congratulations on evolving!" Ash says smiling his other Pokemon also smile making Ninetales happy they then walk out of the cave and head back up the cliff once they do they hear familiar voices.

"ASH!" Misty's and Brock's voices echo Ash and his Pokemon turn around and smile they see the two of them heading over while riding on Onix Ash and his Pokemon smile once Onix reaches them Misty and Brock get off the rock snake they run up to Ash as Misty speaks.

"Ash there you are we've been worried sick! Are you okay?" Misty says with Brock nodding as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, I'm fine I was able to stay in a cave with my Pokemon" Ash responds smiling Misty and Brock look at Ash's Pokemon and get surprised when they see Ninetales they walk over to the Pokemon as Brock speaks.

"This Ninetales is it?" Brock asks as Ash speaks.

"Yep, that Ninetales is my Alolan Vulpix it evolved saving us from the blizzard" Ash responds with Misty and Brock nodding as Misty speaks.

"She looks beautiful" Misty says Ninetales rubs her head on Misty's leg making Misty happy as she feels how soft it is one of Brock's Pokeball's open his Kanto Vulpix appears it walks over to Ninetales and looks at it Brock then speaks.

"Vulpix this is Ash's Alolan Vulpix it evolved" Brock says Vulpix stares at Ninetales it smiles happy to see its friend evolved this makes Ninetales happy as it and Vulpix begin to play as Misty speaks.

"It looks like Ninetales still has the same personality it had when it was a Vulpix" Misty comments with the group nodding as Ash speaks.

"So where were you guys staying at during the blizzard?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.

"We were staying at a nearby inn they have a hot tub which can help warm you and your Pokemon up" Brock responds Ash and his Pokemon smile they then head towards the inn. Once they make it Ash and his Pokemon go to a hot tub to relax, afterwards they drink some hot coco the people at the inn are amazed by Ash's Alolan Ninetales calling it beautiful some of the kids even get to play with Ninetales. After the group is done relaxing, they head to a room and go asleep.

It's now the next day they look at the sky and see no clouds Ash, Pikachu, Misty and Brock stretch their arms they head out of the inn and begin heading down the mountain, as they're walking Ash looks to Brock and speaks.

"So, how long until we reach Fuchsia City Brock?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.

"Since we've cleared the mountain, it should take us 2 days to reach the city" Brock responds Ash smiles and speaks.

"Alright then let's go!" Ash says he brings out Pidgeotto, Ivysaur, Wartortle, Charmeleon and Ninetales they all start running straight ahead leaving Brock and Misty behind.

"Ash Wait for Us!" Misty and Brock yell they begin running after Ash and his Pokemon as they continue to run forward.


2 days later the group are almost at Fuchsia City but before they get there a trainer stopped Ash requesting a battle Ash accepts the two boys take their battle positions and grab their Pokeball's the boy brings out his Pokemon first.

"Go Victreebel!" The boy calls bringing out the bell plant Ash smiles and throws his Pokeball.

"Ninetales I choose you!" Ash calls the ice fox appears it quickly gets into a battle stance and begins to growl at Victreebel, the boy is surprised to see an Alolan Ninetales but he composes himself and makes the first move.

"Victreebel Poison Jab!" The boy calls the bell plant dashes forward Ash makes a command.

"Ninetales dodge then use Blizzard!" Ash calls Ninetales easily dodges the Poison jab by moving to the side it takes a deep breath and gives a mighty roar summoning a massive Blizzard instantly freezing Victreebel easily knocking it out shocking the boy Ash and Ninetales cheer.

"You did it Ninetales good job!" Ash says as Ninetales smiles it jumps towards Ash tackling him to the ground and rubs her face on his making Ash laugh as Misty speaks.

"Ninetales has gotten stronger after evolving" Misty says with Brock nodding the boy Ash battled returns his Victreebel he walks over to Ash thanking him for the battle and tells him good luck in his next gym battle Ash nods as the boy leaves the group then walk away. The group continue to walk for 10 minutes, they reach the gate to Fuchsia City and walk thru it Ash then speaks.

"We've finally made it to Fuchsia City!" Ash cheers along with Pikachu as Misty speaks.

"This place is pretty" Misty says with Brock nodding they then hear a familiar voice.

"Ash, Misty Brock!" The voice yells the group turn and see Leaf running towards them they smile and wave to her.

"You guys finally made it it's great to see you all again!" Leaf says she begins to hug everyone as Ash speaks.

"It's great to see you again as well Leaf when did you get here?" Ash asks as Leaf speaks.

"I got here 2 days ago I challenged the Fuchsia City gym and got my badge see" Leaf says as she shows the group her 6 badges making the group smile as Misty speaks.

"You even got the Celadon City badge" Misty says as Leaf nods and speaks.

"Yeah Ms. Erika's Venusaur was tough, but my Venusaur pulled thru in the end" Leaf responds with the group nodding as she speaks.

"So how was your journey getting here?" Leaf questions the group tell Leaf that it has mostly been uneventful Ash then speaks.

"One of my Pokemon evolved 2 days ago here take a look" Ash says he throws the ball up in the air his Alolan Ninetales appears it gives a happy "Ko" Leaf's eyes become hearts as she quickly gives Ninetales a hug.

"It's so PRETTY!" Leaf says happily while hugging Ninetales making the ice fox happy Leaf then let's go of Ninetales she looks at the group and speaks.

"Oh, I forgot to mention Joe and Giselle are here as well but they're currently with Giselle's mom helping out for the End of the Year festival they won't be seeing us until the day of the festival" Leaf says with the group nodding as Leaf continues to speak.

"Also, Ash Prof. Oak told me that a man by the name of Prof. Sycamore and his assistant from the Kalos region have arrived and are currently waiting for you in the Pokemon Center" Leaf says the group nod as Ash speaks.

"Cool I've been excited to meet them let's go!" Ash says everyone nods as they begin heading towards the Pokemon Center somewhere hidden behind the bushes we see Jessie, James and Meowth they're tired and hungry James then speaks.

"Let's find something to eat" James suggests with Jessie and Meowth nodding they walk over to a nearby diner to eat some food.


5 minutes later the gang make it to the Pokemon Center when they walk inside the Nurse Joy walks over to Ash and speaks.

"Hello, you're Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, yes?" The nurse asks with Ash nodding she smiles and continues to speak.

"Wonderful there are two people here to see you" The nurse says as she points to a man wearing a lab coat and a boy around Brock's age, they're both sitting at a table Ash and his friends walk over once they reach the table the man in the lab coat stands up and speaks.

"Hello there, you must be Ash Ketchum from Pallet town my name is Prof. Sycamore from Lumiose City in the Kalos region and this young man next to me is my assistant Calem" Sycamore says as Calem goes to greet Ash.

"Hello nice to meet you my name's Calem from Vaniville Town in the Kalos region I watched your battle against Ritchie your strong" Calem says having a smile on his face Ash nods but as Ash looks at him, he can feel that Calem is a strong trainer Ash then speaks.

"So why have you come to meet with Ash?" Brock questions as Sycamore speaks.

"I just wanted to hand Ash something" Sycamore responds he goes into his bag and pulls out a Pokemon egg shocking the group.

"A Pokemon egg?!" They all say in shock as Prof. Sycamore speaks.

"As we were watching your battle against Ritchie the Pokemon inside this egg was reacting to you I just wanted to see if it still does" Sycamore says with the group nodding Ash hands Misty his Riolu egg Sycamore hands Ash the Pokemon egg Ash looks at the egg for a few moments as it starts to glow reacting to Ash shocking the group Sycamore smiles and speaks.

"So, it seems like this egg has truly chosen you" Sycamore says as Ash speaks.

"I'm not sure why but just like Riolu I feel this egg was waiting for me" Ash says with his Riolu egg starting to glow in a blue aura the egg in Ash's hands starts reacting to it they both glow for a few moments and stop surprising everyone as Sycamore speaks.

"Would you look at that it seems it was the right choice to hand you the egg" Sycamore says as Ash speaks.

"Are you sure it's okay for me to, have it?" Ash asks Sycamore nods saying its fine as Leaf speaks.

"Hey, can you tell us what kind of Pokemon's inside?" Leaf asks with Ash wondering as well as Sycamore speaks.

"Inside that egg contains one of the 3 starter Pokemon of the Kalos region called Froakie" Sycamore responds the group wonder what a Froakie is Ash and Leaf look it up in their Pokedex's.

"Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon a Water type. From its chest and back, Froakie creates bubbles called Frubbles, which act as a cushion and soften the blow of an opponent's attack." The Pokedex says as Misty and Leaf speak.

"It looks so cute!" Both girls squeal while Ash looks at the egg and speaks.

"It's nice to meet ya Froakie" "Pika" Ash and Pikachu say as the egg faintly glows Ash then speaks.

"Why hello Ash have you successfully received the egg from Prof. Sycamore?" Oak questions Ash nods making the old man smile as he speaks.

"I bet you're wondering on how you're going to carry two Pokemon eggs at once on your journey so I've a suggestion for you. If you're okay with it, do you mind sending both eggs over here?" Prof. Oak asks surprising Ash as the old man continues to speak.

"If you do you won't have to constantly worry about them, and they'll be safe here at the lab" Prof. Oak says Ash thinks about it for a little bit while he does love traveling with his Pokemon eggs having two with him would be too much and something bad could happen to them Ash looks at Prof. Oak and speaks.

"Yes, I'm fine with that Professor if they're with you they'll be safe, and I know you and Ms. Daisy will take care of them" Ash says smiling with Oak nodding as he speaks.

Ash questions gets his answer he sees Aegislash quickly sheaths itself again it summons a barrier blocking Farfetch'd's attack when Farfetch'd hits the barrier its then bounced away. Once Farfetch'd lands on the battlefield it feels its attack power decreasing surprising Ash as Calem speaks.

"Kings Shield is a move similar to Protect and Spiky Shield where it protects the user from an attack but unlike those moves if the opposing Pokemon makes direct contact with the shield its attack power is lowered" Calem says Ash grits his teeth and thinks.

"Great what can I do now?" Ash thinks to himself but doesn't have time to think as Calem makes his next move.

"Air Slash Aegislash!" Calem calls Aegislash quickly fires the slashes of wind towards Farfetch'd Ash makes a command.

"Dodge Farfetch'd and when you see an opening use Night Slash!" Ash calls Farfetch'd nods it begins running around the battlefield dodging the slashes of wind it keeps going until it slides under Aegislash getting behind it, the duck quickly covers its leek in dark energy as it goes to strike Aegislash Calem makes a command.

"Kings Shield!" Calem calls Aegislash quickly turns around and blocks Farfetch'd's attack making the duck hit the barrier again it's bounced away landing back on the battlefield its attack power is lowered again Ash and Farfetch'd get frustrated as Calem smiles and calls for his next move.

"Air Slash!" "Dodge Farfetch'd!" Both trainers call Aegislash fires the slashes of wind at the duck Farfetch'd begins to dodge the slashes of wind in the stands Leaf and Misty cheer on Farfetch'd hoping for it and Ash to make a counterattack while Sycamore continues to silently watch the battle Calem then makes his next move.

"Aegislash use Shadow Sneak!" Calem calls Aegislash summons a ghostly figure it goes towards Farfetch'd and hits it making Farfetch'd groan in pain the duck then sees Aegislash above it Calem calls for his next command.

"Now Air Slash!" "Block it Farfetch'd!" Both trainers call Aegislash quickly fires the slashes of wind Farfetch'd tries its best to block the attack but it's too powerful Farfetch'd is then blown back towards Ash and Pikachu injured Ash goes to check on it.

"Farfetch'd are you okay?" Ash asks Farfetch'd nods it can still battle but it groans from the pain Calem then speaks.

"Looks like it's going to be my win again I'm sorry to say this, but your Farfetch'd can't defeat my Aegislash" Calem states with Aegislash nodding Ash looks at them he hates to admit it but knows they're right he grabs Farfetch'd's Pokeball and speaks.

"Return Farfetch'd you've taken too much damage" Ash says Farfetch'd looks at its Pokeball and then smacks it away surprising Ash Farfetch'd then speaks.

"Far, Farfetch'd, Far, FARFETCH'D!" Farfetch'd tells Ash that as a warrior it will not run away from its opponent no matter how injured it gets it will win. Farfetch'd looks at Ash with determination in its eyes Ash sees it he smiles and speaks.

"Sorry Farfetch'd your right you're a warrior and you don't run away from your battles if you say you can win then I'll believe in you" Ash says smiling Farfetch'd nods as it walks back on the battlefield ready to continue Calem gets a serious look on his face and speaks.

"Are you sure about this you should use another Pokemon your Farfetch'd won't last long" Calem says in a serious tone as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, I'm sure if Farfetch'd says it's going to win then it will!" "Far!" Ash states with Farfetch'd agreeing they both have fire in their eyes Calem smiles and speaks.

"Okay then I'm interested in seeing how you'll defeat Aegislash" Calem says with Aegislash agreeing as Ash thinks.

"Even though I said all that how am I going to defeat Aegislash?" Ash thinks to himself he then gets an idea he smiles and speaks.

"Farfetch'd I've an idea on defeating Aegislash will you trust me?!" Ash calls Farfetch'd looks at Ash it smiles and nods its head making Ash happy as he speaks.

"Okay let's do this Farfetch'd!" Ash calls with Farfetch'd nodding it gets in a battle stance as Calem makes the first move.

"Here we come Ash Aegislash Air Slash!" Calem calls Aegislash quickly fires the slashes of wind at Farfetch'd Ash makes a command.

"Farfetch'd knock them back with Brutal Swing!" "Far!" Ash commands Farfetch'd yells it quickly covers its leek in dark energy and begins to spin easily knocking back the Air Slash back at Aegislash Calem makes his next command.

"Dodge Aegislash then use Shadow Ball!" Calem calls Aegislash easily dodges the Air Slash it then fires a ball of ghostly energy at Farfetch'd as the ghostly ball is about to hit the duck Ash makes a command.

"Knock it back with your Leek!" Ash calls Farfetch'd hits the Shadow Ball with its leek successfully knocking it back towards Aegislash as its about to hit it Calem makes a command.

"Cut it in half with Night Slash!" Calem calls Aegislash quickly unsheathes itself covers its blade in dark energy and cuts the Shadow Ball in half once it does it sees Farfetch'd in front of it going to hit it Ash makes a command.

"Night Slash Farfetch'd!" "Block it with King Shield!" Both trainers call Aegislash sheaths itself again it quickly summons a barrier as Farfetch'd is just inches away from hitting the barrier Ash makes a command.

"Dive under it Farfetch'd!" Ash calls "What?" Calem says in surprise as he sees Farfetch'd quickly diving under Aegislash the duck gets behind the sword/shield Pokemon and jumps toward it.

"Farfetch'd tackle it to the ground with Brick Break!" Ash calls Farfetch'd roars its leek glows red and hits Aegislash successfully tackling it to the ground once it does Aegislash groans from the pain it then sees Farfetch'd standing over it having its leek ready Ash makes a command.

"CLOSE COMBAT FARFETCH'D!" "FAR!" Ash yells as does Farfetch'd the duck begins to repeatedly hit Aegislash with its leek making Aegislash groan in pain in the stands Misty and Leaf cheer as Sycamore thinks.

"He had Aegislash summon King Shield making Calem think Farfetch'd would hit the barrier but instead their true goal was to get behind Aegislash Ash knew Aegislash wouldn't have been able to use Kings Shield again so he had Farfetch'd attack Aegislash's back as it was vulnerable simply Marvelous. Now what will you do next Calem?" Sycamore thinks to himself he looks at Calem he can see that the boy came to the same conclusion as well he also sees Calem having a big smile on his face Sycamore can tell that Calem is enjoying the battle the boy then speaks.

"This is it this is what I was waiting for you're really amazing Ash, but we won't go down Aegislash get Farfetch'd off you using Shadow Sneak!" Calem calls Aegislash nods it quickly summons a ghostly figure and knocks Farfetch'd away Calem makes his next move.

"Now Night Slash!" "Counter with your Night Slash Farfetch'd!" Both trainers call Aegislash covers its blade in dark energy as Farfetch'd covers its leek in dark energy both mons charge at each other and clash there's an explosion causing both mons to skid back but they then charge at each other again Calem makes his command.

"Aegislash Air Slash!" "Farfetch'd knock them away with Brutal Swing!" Both trainers call Aegislash quickly fires the slashes of wind towards Farfetch'd, Farfetch'd spins easily knocking the Air Slash away it then jumps in the air heading towards Aegislash Calem makes his final command.

"AEGISLASH USE SACRED SWORD!" "FARFETCH'D SUPERPOWER! Both trainers call Aegislash's blade glows a bright crimson red while Farfetch'd's leek also glows a bright crimson both mons clash they begin to push each other back and forth Aegislash tries its best but it's starting to feel the pain from Farfetch'd's Close Combat Ash and Farfetch'd notice and take the chance.

"GOOOOOOO! FARFETCH'D!" "FAR!" Ash and Farfetch'd yell Farfetch'd successfully pushes Aegislash down on the battlefield creating an explosion and a big gust of wind it almost blows Ash and Calem away once the wind stops there's a cloud of dust. As the dust clears everyone can see Aegislash on the ground unconscious and see Farfetch'd standing over it panting Brock then makes the call.

"Aegislash is unable to battle Farfetch'd is the winner!" Brock says Ash, Pikachu and Farfetch'd smile as they cheer.

"ALRIGHT!" "PIKA!" "FAR!" The 3 give a mighty cheer as do Misty and Leaf.

"He did it Misty Farfetch'd actually defeated Aegislash!" Leaf says happily with Misty nodding as she and Leaf continue cheering Prof. Sycamore is impressed with Ash being able to defeat two of Calem's Pokemon is amazing the Professor thinks to himself, he looks at Calem, he sees him return Aegislash the boy looks at the Pokeball and speaks.

"Thanks, Aegislash you fought well" Calem says as he looks at Ash and his Pokemon celebrating Calem smiles but then speaks.

"I must say defeating 2 of my Pokemon is great you've only been on your journey for 5 months, right? If you're this strong with only being a trainer for 5 months I'm excited to see how strong you're going to get in a year and onward" Calem says with Ash nodding as he speaks.

"Thanks now that we've defeated 2 of your Pokemon there's only 4 more left I can still see the path to victory!" Ash states with Pikachu and Farfetch'd nodding Calem smiles he pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.

"This Pokeball I've in my hand contains not only my strongest Pokemon but my starter as well we've been together for a long time, and I know it'll win this battle GO! GRENINJA!" Calem says he throws the Pokeball what appears is a black bipedal frog its standing having its eyes closed and crossing its arms once it opens its eyes it stares at Ash and his Pokemon. Once it does not just Ash but his Pokemon along with Misty, Leaf and Brock can feel the power this Pokemon has Ash and Leaf then scan it with their Pokedex's.

"Greninja, the Ninja Pokémon a Water/Dark type, and the final evolved form of Froakie. Greninja can compress water into sharp-edged throwing stars. With the grace of a ninja, it slips in and out of sight to attack from the shadows." The Pokedex says as Ash speaks.

"So that's the final evolution of Froakie its color is different in the Pokedex too it's also a shiny, even though it didn't roar or shake the battlefield like Tyrantrum, Avalugg and Chesnaught by just its presence alone I can feel the amount of strength it has" Ash says Pikachu and Farfetch'd look to Ash and speak.

"Pika!" "Far!" Both mons say catching Ash's attention he looks at them and speaks "Are you guys saying you still want to battle?" Ash asks with both mons nodding Ash nods he smiles getting a determined look on his face he looks back at the battlefield and speaks.

"Okay Farfetch'd, Pikachu let's win!" Ash cheers along with Pikachu and Farfetch'd, Farfetch'd stays on the battlefield it glares at Greninja while the black frog looks at the duck Ash and Pikachu go to their side of the battlefield Ash turns back to the battlefield ready to continue Brock calls for the battle to continue Ash makes the first move.

"Farfetch'd use Superpower!" Ash calls Farfetch'd gives a mighty roar it's body bulks up and covers its leek in a bright crimson it jumps towards Greninja spinning as Farfetch'd is going to hit the frog neither Calem nor Greninja are worried as Calem only says one move.

"Aerial Ace" Calem says Greninja's typing turns into a flying type it easily dodges Farfetch'd's attack its fist glows blue and punches the duck hard in the stomach making Farfetch'd cough in pain as in a blink of an eye its sent soaring pass Ash and Pikachu and crashes into the wall behind them knocked out Ash and his friends are shocked Brock's shocked as well but quickly regains composure as he makes the call.

"Farfetch'd is unable to battle Greninja's the winner!" Brock calls Calem and Greninja nod as Misty speaks.

"I know Farfetch'd was already worn out by Aegislash but it lost that quickly?" Misty says as Leaf speaks.

"I couldn't even see Greninja's movements it moved so fast Ash is going to have to battle that?" Leaf questions as Sycamore speaks.

"Calem and Greninja have been with each other for a long time ever since Calem was a child also Calem currently has all 8 of the Kalos gym badges" Sycamore says shocking Leaf, Misty, Brock and Ash as now they understand why Calem's so strong Calem then looks at Ash, he gets a serious expression on his face and speaks.

"So now that you know I've 8 badges are you still going to battle? or are you going to forfeit?" Calem asks in a serious tone Ash looks at him and Greninja and begins to think.

"So, this is the strength of a trainer with 8 badges this feeling Calem is giving off it's much different than that of Damian by just looking at them I can feel their strength and it's making me shake/sweat in fear" Ash says Pikachu looks at Ash and speaks.

"Pika" Pikachu says looking at the boy Ash looks at Pikachu he sees it sparking its cheeks as Ash speaks.

"Are you saying you still want to battle Pikachu?" Ash questions with Pikachu nodding Farfetch'd then walks over and speaks.

"Far!" Farfetch'd tells Ash not to run away but face them head on, Ash then feels his 4 Pokeball's wriggle as Gyarados, Charmeleon, Alolan Ninetales and Primeape appear they all agree with Pikachu and Farfetch'd telling Ash not to run away and fight until the end Ash looks at his Pokemon he smiles and speaks.

"You guys are right I shouldn't run away I'm going to face more powerful trainers and Pokemon on my journey Calem and Greninja are a great example of what kind of trainers/Pokemon I'll be facing in the league and in the distant future, so I won't run away I'll face them HEAD ON!" Ash states he turns his hat backwards and gets a serious look on his face his Pokemon smile Calem has a smile on his face as well and speaks.

"So, I take it you still want to battle because if you are Greninja isn't going to hold back, and you'll most likely lose" Calem says as Ash speaks.

"You're right I'm more than likely am going to lose but a while ago I made a promise to myself and my Pokemon that I won't run away so even if we lose, WE'LL GIVE IT EVERYTHING WE GOT!" Ash responds with his Pokemon roaring in agreement Pikachu then jumps on the battlefield sparking its cheeks Calem and Greninja smile as Calem speaks.

"Okay Ash get ready because here we come!" Calem states as Greninja gets into a battle stance Brock then speaks.

"This is the final battle whoever knocks out their opponents Pokemon first will be declared the winner if both trainers are ready, you may now continue your battle!" Brock states as before Ash and Calem begin to battle, they both close their eyes and take a deep breath. Everyone watches in silence seeing who'll make the first move the battlefield is silent for a few more seconds as a gust of wind blows by Ash and Calem quickly open their eyes and call for their first moves.

"Pikachu Thunderbolt!" "Greninja Water Shuriken!" Both trainers call Pikachu quickly fires the electric bolt as Greninja becomes a water type it puts its hands together and fires the water shuriken both moves clash Greninja's water shuriken easily cuts through the Thunderbolt as its about to hit Pikachu Ash makes his next move.

"Pikachu use Double Team to dodge then use Quick Attack!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly summons multiple copies of itself it dodges the water shuriken Pikachu, and its clones then shoot toward Greninja as they go to hit it Calem makes a command.

"Greninja dodge and when you sense the real one-use Night Slash!" Calem calls Greninja nods as it begins to easily dodge the multiple Pikachu's it then senses the real one heading toward it, it becomes a dark type and creates a long purple sword as it goes to hit Pikachu Ash makes a command.

"Pikachu Counter with Iron Tail!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly covers its tail in steel energy and collides with Greninja's Night Slash Pikachu tries its best to push Greninja back but it's too strong as Greninja sends Pikachu away making it spin out of control Calem makes his next move.

"Greninja Water Shuriken!" Calem calls Greninja becomes a water type and throws not just one water shuriken but five they all head towards Pikachu as Ash makes a command.

"Pikachu knock them away with Iron Tail!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly covers its tail in steel energy it begins to quickly knock away the water shuriken once it does it then sees Greninja in front of it holding its fist up going for a punch Calem then speaks.

"Greninja Aerial Ace!" "Protect Pikachu!" Both trainers call Greninja becomes a flying type it goes to punch Pikachu the yellow mouse quickly summons a protective barrier blocking the move, but it doesn't protect Pikachu for long Greninja's fist easily punches thru the protect shocking everyone as Greninja's fist is about to reach Pikachu Ash makes a command.

"Thunder Pikachu!" Ash calls Pikachu gives a mighty roar it quickly summons the large bolt of lightning from the sky as its about to hit Greninja Calem makes a command.

"Dig Greninja!" Calem calls Greninja quickly becomes a ground type it dives underground dodging the thunder, but the electric bolt does destroy some of the battlefield once Pikachu lands on the battlefield it looks for Greninja it then feels something underground as Ash makes a command.

"Use Quick Attack to jump high in the air Pikachu!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly jumps high in the air as Greninja appears under it the frog misses Pikachu, but it still goes after the mouse Calem makes his next command.

"Bounce Greninja!" Calem calls Greninja becomes a flying type it glows blue and starts to speed up more as it disappears from everyone's sight it reappears behind Pikachu and punches the yellow mouse across the face sending it crashing back on the battlefield.

"Pikachu!" Ash calls in worry Pikachu appears it's still standing but pants heavily as that punch hurt a lot Ash then speaks.

"Pikachu above you!" Ash calls Pikachu looks up it sees Greninja falling towards it having two water swords in its hands Calem makes a command.

"Liquidation Greninja!" "Dodge Pikachu!" both trainers call as Greninja goes to hit Pikachu the yellow mouse dodges by jumping into the air making Greninja hit its blades on the battlefield cracking it Ash quickly makes his next command.

"Thunderbolt Pikachu!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly fires the electric bolt at Greninja as its about to hit the frog Calem makes a command.

"Greninja Night Slash!" Calem calls Greninja becomes a dark type its water blades instantly turn into dark ones it easily slashes away the Thunderbolt and jumps towards Pikachu as its about to hit it Ash makes a command.

"Iron Tail Pikachu!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly covers its tail in steel energy it and Greninja clash in the air as Greninja goes to strike Pikachu with its other blade Pikachu successfully parry's that one surprising Calem, Greninja and Sycamore Greninja goes to hit Pikachu again but the yellow mouse parry's that one as well both Greninja and Pikachu begin to parry each other's attacks as Ash cheers.

"Yeah, that's it keep going Pikachu!" Ash cheers as do his Pokemon as Calem speaks.

"Come on Greninja!" Calem calls the frog tries to hit Pikachu again, but the yellow mouse blocks the move on the bench Leaf and Misty cheer on Pikachu as Sycamore has a shocked look on his face and speaks.

"I don't believe it his Pikachu is actually keeping up with Calem's Greninja?" Sycamore says with a shocked expression on his face Misty looks at him and speaks.

"That's because of the bond Ash and Pikachu share during these past 5 months they've both encountered many tough trainers and Pokemon Pikachu can feel Ash's desire to win so it's trying to battle as hard as it can even though it knows it might not defeat Greninja its going to try and win for Ash" Misty says as she goes back to cheering Sycamore nods, he looks back at the battle he smiles and speaks.

"I can now see why the Froakie inside the egg chose him" Sycamore says as he sees Pikachu and Greninja clash again they both back away from each other landing back on the battlefield once they do, they instantly charge at each other Ash and Calem call for their next moves.

"Thunderbolt Pikachu!" "Dodge and use Ice Punch Greninja!" Both trainers call Pikachu fires the electric bolt at Greninja but the frog dodges the thunderbolt it becomes an ice type covering its fist in ice and uppercuts Pikachu sending it soaring back in the sky Greninja then jumps after it as Calem makes a command.

"Use Bounce Greninja!" Calem calls Greninja glows a bright blue it speeds up and reaches Pikachu as it goes to punch it Ash makes a command.

"Pikachu Thunder times 2!" Ash calls "Times what?" Calem questions Pikachu roars to the sky as everyone sees two big thunders instantly appear and shock Greninja. Greninja yells out in pain, but it pushes thru the thunder and punches Pikachu in the stomach Pikachu coughs in pain as both it and Greninja crash back on the battlefield.

When they're back on the battlefield both mons don't stay down for long, they quickly get up and charge at each other Ash and Calem make their commands.

"PIKACHU THUNDER PUNCH AND IRON TAIL!" "GRENINJA ICE PUNCH AND AERIAL ACE!" "PIKA!" "GRENINJA!" Both trainers and Pokemon yell Pikachu and Greninja collide and begin to punch/kick each other repeatedly. Greninja is able to land more hits with each hit doing more damage to Pikachu but the yellow mouse doesn't give up as it and Greninja punch each other in the face they're both blown back Greninja lands back on its feet it pants a little bit but can still battle Pikachu meanwhile lands on its stomach it struggles to get up but eventually does Pikachu then begins to pant heavily Ash knows Pikachu can't go on much longer as he speaks.

"Pikachu charge up your strongest WILD CHARGE!" "PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu yell along with Ash's other Pokemon Pikachu covers its body in electricity the wild charge gets bigger and bigger Calem and Greninja look at it they're not fazed Calem then speaks.

"Let's go Greninja its time for our final attack charge up your strongest GIGA IMPACT!" "NINJA!" Calem and Greninja yell Greninja becomes a normal type it roars as its enveloped in a sphere the sphere grows big as well until it's as big as the Wild Charge. The people at the Pokemon Center and nearby bystanders look at the two moves even Jessie, James and Meowth who are currently eating at a diner see the two moves as well Paul who's currently in the Pokemon Center is watching the battle he just has a stoic expression on his face.

Back to the battle Pikachu and Greninja have finished charging up their moves and are waiting for their trainers to give them commands Calem then speaks.

"This is it Ash I've really enjoyed our battle, but the victory will be ours!" Calem states with Greninja nodding as Ash speaks.

"Thanks Calem I've really enjoyed our battle as well I told you this already but you're the strongest trainer I've faced so far but the ones who'll win this will be me and Pikachu!" Ash states with Pikachu and the rest of his Pokemon roaring in agreement Calem smiles both Ash and Calem stare at each other for a couple seconds then both trainer's yell.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" "PIKA!" "NINJA!" Ash, Calem, Pikachu and Greninja yell Pikachu and Greninja quickly charge at each other and collide they begin trying to push each other back and forth Greninja begins to easily push Pikachu back as Ash speaks.

"GO! PIKACHU!" "PIKACHUUUUUUUU!" Ash cheers as do his Pokemon Pikachu yells using all the power it has and begins to push Greninja back a little bit Calem then speaks.

"GO! GRENINJA!" "GRENINJA!" Calem and Greninja yell Greninja begin to easily push Pikachu back Pikachu tries its best to hold on, but Greninja is too strong Grenninja destroys Pikachu's Wild Charge it hits Pikachu and sends it crashing into the wall behind Ash and his Pokemon. Ash and his Pokemon quickly run over to where Pikachu is Greninja jumps back on the battlefield it lands still standing but gets on one knee panting Calem goes to check on Greninja. Once Ash and his Pokemon make it to where Pikachu is they can see that it's knocked out with no intention of battling anymore Ash looks to Brock as the teen makes the call.

"Pikachu is unable to battle Greninja is the winner making Calem the winner of this battle!" Brock calls Calem and Greninja smile in victory Ash and his Pokemon are sad that they lost but smile Ash picks up Pikachu the yellow mouse opens its eyes it looks at Ash and its teammates it's sad that it lost as Ash speaks.

"It's okay Pikachu we lost but we gave it everything we had" Ash says smiling with his other Pokemon nodding Pikachu smiles at them Ash and his Pokemon then see Calem and Greninja walk over once they get close enough Calem speaks.

"That was an amazing battle you gave me and my Pokemon Ash for a second there I thought Greninja would lose" Calem says with Greninja nodding as Ash speaks.

"Thanks Calem I really enjoyed our battle as well you really pushed me and my Pokemon to the limit and showed us what it's going to be like facing other strong trainers in the league" Ash says with his Pokemon nodding as Calem nods Paul who was watching the battle gives a "Hmph" and walks away. Ash and Calem then see Misty, Brock, Leaf and Sycamore walk over to them once they get closer Sycamore speaks.

"That was a marvelous battle you two had Ash the bond with you have with your Pokemon is strong I can see why the Froakie inside wants you to be its trainer" Sycamore says Ash nods Leaf then speaks.

"That battle was amazing I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!" Leaf says with Brock and Misty nodding Ash and Calem smile as Sycamore looks at his watch and speaks.

"Oh, would you look at the time it looks like it's time for us to go Calem" Sycamore says with Calem nodding Ash then speaks.

"Wait you're leaving already?" Ash asks as Calem speaks.

"Yep, the reason we came here was to give you the Froakie egg and for me to battle you" Calem responds with Sycamore and Greninja nodding as Ash nods Calem then speaks.

"Well Ash if you ever come to the Kalos region let's battle again but just to warn you, Greninja and my other Pokemon will be a lot stronger" Calem says with Greninja nodding as Ash speaks.

"Me and my Pokemon will continue to train we'll grow stronger and when we battle again, we'll defeat you next time" Ash says with his Pokemon nodding Calem smiles looking forward to that day he holds out his hand and speaks.

"Good luck in the Kanto League Ash we'll be rooting for you" Calem says with Greninja and Sycamore agreeing Ash smiles and grabs his hand.

"Thanks, and good luck to you in the Kalos league" Ash says as Calem speaks.

"Oh, I'm not competing in the Kalos league this year" Calem responds shocking the group as he continues to speak.

"You see there's a certain trainer I'm waiting on to enter the league as well we both started our journeys at the same time and became Prof. Sycamore's assistants" Calem says as Ash speaks.

"What's his name?" Ash questions as Calem speaks.

"His name is Alain he started out with a Charmander we both have the goal of challenging the gyms and finding mega stones, but we haven't heard from Alain in over 2 years" Calem says shocking the group as he continues to speak.

"But even though we haven't seen each other in a long time I get the feeling he's still training and growing stronger out there" Calem says with the group nodding Ash speaks.

"He sounds like a strong trainer and a good friend to you I hope you see him again one day" Ash says with Calem nodding they both smile at each other and shake their hands Leaf then speaks.

"Mega stones? Do you study Mega Evolution Prof. Sycamore?" Leaf asks with the man nodding as he speaks.

"Why yes, I do I'm sure you've heard about it already that Mega Evolution is achieved when a trainer and their Pokemon have a strong bond allowing the Pokemon to evolve further. I'm researching on why the phenomenon occurs Calem, Alain and my other assistants have been a great help for me" Sycamore responds with the group nodding Calem then speaks.

"Well, it was nice seeing you all and Ash take care of that Froakie egg once it hatches make sure you make it strong cause me and Greninja would like to battle it" Calem says with Greninja nodding Ash smiles and nods.

After that Calem, Greninja and Sycamore got on a boat that'll take them back to the Kalos region the group wave goodbye to them until they're out of view once they're gone, they head inside the Pokemon Center so Ash can heal his Pokemon, as they're waiting for Ash's Pokemon to be healed Brock then speaks.

"So, what do you guys want to do tomorrow?" Brock asks as Ash and Misty think Leaf speaks.

"I know let's head to the Safari Zone we can capture new Pokemon from different regions there and I heard that you might be able to find a shiny Dratini" Leaf suggests with the group getting excited looks on their faces as Misty speaks.

"I can't wait to capture more water Pokemon!" Misty says as Brock speaks.

"I'm very interested in seeing the variety of Pokemon they've there" Brock says as Ash speaks.

"Okay then it's decided tomorrow let's go to the Safari Zone and capture new Pokemon!" Ash cheers as do Misty, Brock and Leaf after that Ash's Pokemon are healed Ash grabs and the group go to their rooms as it's now nighttime they go to sleep excited to find and capture new Pokemon the next day meanwhile in the Safari Zone a portal opens what comes out of it looks like a Growlithe with hair covering its eyes the puppy doesn't know where it is but doesn't care it happily runs in the night as the chapter ends.

Thank you for reading if you made it this far a lot happened in this chapter Ash's Vulpix evolved, Ash battled Calem, Paul returns, and Alain gets named dropped. Originally this chapter was just going to be a short one focusing on Ash's Vulpix evolving into Ninetales and Ash would battle Calem in the next chapter, but I decided to put it all here as I wanted the next chapter to be about the Safari Zone. Even though Alain has been mentioned he won't appear in this arc, but he might make a small cameo appearance during the Indigo league, but we'll see.

How do guys think I handled Ash's Vulpix evolving into Ninetales? And what are your thoughts on Ash and Calem's battle?

Next chapter will come out next week it'll mainly focus on the gang capturing new Pokemon for their teams Paul will also capture new Pokemon as well. For those wondering no Ash will not be capturing 30 Tauros all of Ash's new captures will be different Pokemon some of which include Pokemon he gets in different seasons of the main anime. Misty, Brock and Leaf will capture new Pokemon as well can you guys guess what kind of Pokemon they'll catch? Remember the Safari Zone in this story has Pokemon from multiple regions so I'm interested in seeing what kind of Pokemon you guys think they'll catch.

Next time: Chapter 32 The Safari Zone Part 1

See you all next time!
