Day 1 Part 2

After Lunch…

"So, how have you been, Chosen One?" asked Giratina.

"Well, considering that I just won the World Corrination Series, I guess I'm doing pretty well," said Ash.

"I do find it interesting how you battle," said Lugia, "especially your Z-moves. How exactly DO you use them?"

"It's kind of a feeling you get, and then, Whoosh! Bam!" said Ash, waving his arms while trying to explain it. "Then all that energy inside of you gets released, and suddenly it goes Kazam! Right, buddy?"

Pikachu, Lugia, and Griatina sweatdropped. "Yeah, that's the gest of it," replied Pikachu.

"I'm more interested in that Dynamax band of yours," said Giratina, gesturing to the band on Ash's wrist.

"You mean Gigantimax?" asked Ash, "well that's sort of the same as Z-moves, but a lot different. It's kind of like concentrating all the energy in Galar into one place and using it to magnify size and power! I don't know why it only lasts for three moves though…" Ash mused.

"Well, it was nice talking to you Chosen One," said Griatina, "however, I must go now. You know, important business to attend."

"I must go as well," said Lugia, "farewell, Chosen One, it has been a pleasure to talk to you again,"

"Ok, bye!" said Ash, waving farewell to the two legendaries.

"Hi Ash! Remember me?"

Ash turned to see a sky-form Shaymin standing (or floating rather) behind him.

"Hi! Shaymin!" said Ash, "Nice to see you! How have you been?"

"Pretty good, I found a nice garden to stay in after we defeated that Zero guy."

Ash smiled, before rummaging in his backpack for something.

"What are you doing?" asked Shaymin.

"Give me one sec…" said Ash, "Ah ha! Here it is!" he handed a few poffins to Shaymin.

"Yum! Thanks!" said Shaymin, munching down on the poffins, "did you make these?"

"No Dawn made them," replied Ash, "she said to give them to you if I got to see you,"

"Yep, I knew you couldn't make something this good," said Shaymin.

"Can too!" said Ash.

"You can't," said Pikachu, "trust me, I've seen and tasted a lot of your cooking and it is NOT good! The only decent thing you've ever made was that cake and that was only because an Alcreme made the cake and all you did was stick in toppings,"

"Two against one," Ash sighed.

"Don't worry, I'm sure you're good at SOMETHING," said Shaymin.

"Right, like battles," said Pikachu, "don't forget, you're the strongest trainer in the world now,"

"Yeah, but there's always room for improvement," said Ash.

"So, you a Pokemon Master yet?" asked Shaymin.

"Honestly, I don't know," said Ash, scratching his head, "I mean, I kinda want to be, but at the same time, I want to continue reaching for my goal,"

"If anyone deserves it it's you," said Shaymin, "unless of course, being a Pokemon Master involves being able to cook a decent meal,"

Ash laughed, "Hopefully that's not the case,"

"If it is, you'd be doomed before you even started your journey," said Pikachu.

"Anyway," said Shaymin, "tell Dawn I said thanks for the poffins. Gotta go!"

"K, bye!" said Ash.

"See ya later!" came the reply.

Ash waved until Shaymin was out of sight, turned around, and stood face to face with none other than the Genetic Pokemon, Mewtwo.

"Oh, hi Mewtwo," said Ash.

"Chosen One," said Mewtwo, smiling slightly, "it's been a while hasn't it?"

"Yeah…" said Ash, trailing off, "Listen Mewtwo if you came to apologize for killing me on New Island, don't. It's ok, really,"

Mewtwo chuckled. "I appreciate your kindness Chosen One, but since you have already forgiven me, I wish to thank you for what you have taught me,"

"No problem Mewtwo, anything to help a friend,"

"Speaking of which, I would like to know why you call me a friend, it seems to me that I would have been your enemy at the time, considering the circumstances,"

"You weren't really an enemy," said Ash, "I could tell you just didn't know that there were good people out there. After all, you had to face the hands of Team Rocket."

"Well, regardless, it was still a very brave thing for you to do, jumping between two powerful attacks like that."

"I guess it was just instinct," replied Ash mareepishly.

"That's true," commented Pikachu, "you've died what- like 6 or 7 times in total?"

"Hmm, yeah that sounds about right," said Ash, "dying isn't fun though, even when you get used to it,"

"That much?" questioned Mewtwo, "May I ask what from?"

"Well," started Ash, "the first time was when a Haunter removed my spirit from my body. I don't know if that really counts though. The second time was with you and Mew at New Island. The third time was when I got eaten by a giant blob thing at the Tree of Beginning. The fourth time was at the sea temple Samiya when it got flooded and I had to go put the last crystal in the sea crown. The fifth time was when I froze to death trying to save Victini in Eindoak Town. The last was when I got hit with tons of attacks while trying to find Ho-oh with the Rainbow Feather."

"So, in addition to stopping Mew and me from fighting, you visited the Tree of Beginning, were in Manaphy's secret temple, saved Victini's live, and became Ho-oh's Chosen One?"

"That's most of it," replied Ash, "of course, there's more but I didn't die those times."

"So the legends are true that the Chosen One will meet every Legendary Pokemon," Mewtwo mused, "Anyway, it was nice talking to you Ash, I thank you again for what you taught me at New Island," and with that, Mewtwo disappeared in a flash of light.

"Hey, buddy, what do you say we call it a day?" asked Ash.

"That's fine," answered Pikachu, "just make sure you wake up at a reasonable hour otherwise I'll have to shock you,"

"Why do you have to do that?" groaned Ash.

"Would you rather miss an all-you-can-eat breakfast?"

Ash thought about that for a moment, "Alright, I guess that's fine."

With that, Ash and Pikachu went back to their room, tomorrow would be another big day, and being in the same place as all the Legendary and Mythical Pokemon, it was bound to be exciting!
