Pokemon: Friends to the End
Chapter 6: Different Strokes for Different Blokes
In a forest, the four heroes were preparing to have lunch with their pokemon.
On one of the trees, Aipom picked up a orange with its tail.
"Piplup!"
Aipom looked down and saw Piplup begging for the orange.
But the Long Tail pokemon just stick its tongue out and laughed.
However Aipom hit it's head on a branch causing it drop the orange and dropped on Piplup's peck, who swallowed it.
Aipom went down and started arguing with Piplup.
Ash's Turtwig tried to stop them, but they bashed him straight to a tree.
Bonsly started to panic around Aipom and Piplup.
Aipom then used Swift while Piplup used Bubblebeam causing an explosion.
This earned the four heroes attention and they ran over to see what was going on.
Aipom and Piplup continued fighting each other.
"Hey, you two! Cut it out!" Ash called.
"Stop your fighting right now!"Denise demanded.
Then Ash's Turtwig leapt to the air and attempted to stop it.
Unfortunately, Turtwig was being thrown back by Aipom's Focus Punch and Piplup's Peck attack.
This made Turtwig even mad as it struck back with the Razor Leaf move.
Shinx frowned as he used Thunder Wave to knock Piplup and Aipom out.
"Hey! You two can't treat my Piplup like that!"Dawn protested.
"Hold on."Brock said. "Turtwig and Shinx were only breaking them up!"
They all saw that Aipom and Piplup have stopped fighting.
"Hey your right, Turtwig, thank you."Ash said.
"You too, Shinx."Denise admitted sweetly.
That let only Turtwig to jump up and bite on Ash's head.
Denise giggled as Shinx jumped into her arms and licked her cheek.
"Hey, I think your the best too!"Ash laughed as he tried to pull Turtwig off. "But let go of that!"
"Pathetic."A familiar voice stated.
Everyone turned their heads to see Paul behind them.
"It's Paul..."Denise said.
Paul smirked for being recognized.
Pokémon!
Pokémon!

It's all about the challenges.
It's a brand new game and a brand new world.
Then Paul and Ash glaring at each other, while Denise glared at Amy.
Their Pokemons did the same.
Camera showed Dawn wearing a pink dress, while Denise wore a fancier magenta dress.
They took out their pokeballs showing Buneary, Piplup, Eevee and Ralts.

Scenes shows Dawn and Denise sitting down, while leaning against a large pokeball, Brock, Ash and Pikachu sat at the top of it.
It's time for adventure, Diamond and Pearl
We can change the world
After catching Turtwig, Ash's second pokemon from the Sinnoh region, our heroes were once again on their way.
But little did they expect a certain aggressive trainer named Paul would stop by and slow things down a little bit.
"Boy Paul, you sure like to show out of nowhere don't ya?"Ash asked.
"I'm just training to get ready for my Oreburgh Gym battle."Paul stated.
"Hmph, what do you know, we're going there too."Denise said bitterly.
Paul notice Ash's Turtwig.
"Am I seeing things or is that Turtwig one of your new pokemon?"Paul asked.
"Yeah, you're not seeing things."Ash said with a smile."We're talking strong."
"Twig."Turtwig said.
Paul smirked. "Doesn't look like much to me."
"What!?"Ash snapped causing Turtwig to frown. "Why don't we have a battle and you can find out!"
"Fine."Paul replied. "Our last battle left a bad taste in my mouth and I wanna give my friend a chance here for a little revenge."
He threw out a Pokeball and Chimchar came out.
"Chimchar!"Chimchar said.
"Hey Turtwig, what do you feel like, battling right now?"Ash asked.
"Wig..." Turtwig said as he nodded and walked forward.
"Ash, a Fire Type like Chimchar has an advantage over a Grass Type."Dawn reminded.
"She's right, shouldn't you use Aipom for the battle?"Denise asked.
"Not this time, Turtwig and I are gonna win this."Ash answered confidently.
"I'll be the referee again."Brock suggested.
"Ah, don't waste your time."Paul replied and smirked. "There will be no doubt, who will win."
So the battle was going to take place near a ledge where a waterfall was pouring down.
Shinx was on Denise's lap completely focusing on the battle that was going to happen.
"You can go first."Paul replied.
"I'm not holding back either! Turtwig, use Tackle!"Ash stated.
The Grass Type Pokémon charged right at Paul's Chimchar.
"Dodge it!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar avoided the move with high speed.
"Use Scratch!"Paul ordered.
"Its fast."Denise whispered.
Chimchar obeyed as it quickly got close to Turtwig.
"Quick, dodge that!"Ash ordered.
Turtwig chose to block it as it took the attack.
"Why didn't Turtwig dodge like I told him to?"Ash thought. "Use Razor Leaf!"
"Ember!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar fired Ember blasts at the sharp leaves.
The leaves were scorched as it made its way to Turtwig.
Again, the Grass Type Pokémon stayed to block the move.
It tried to endure it, but got pushed back.
"That Chimchar must've gotten stronger."Brock admitted.
"Pika..."Pikachu said agreement.
"No kidding..."Denise said worriedly.
"Shinx..."Shinx growled lowly.
"Why won't you dodge? Alright then! Use Synthesis to heal yourself!"Ash ordered.
Turtwig gained energy from the sun, healing it's wounds.
"Waste of time."Paul said. "Chimchar, finish it with Flame Wheel!"
The Fire Type Pokémon charged at Turtwig with the physical Fire Type attack.
"Uh oh! This time, Turtwig, you've got to dodge it!"Ash warned.
Turtwig once again ignored the order and took the Flame Wheel and it was pushed back.
"Turtwig, you okay?"Ash asked.
Turtwig shook off the burn as it prepared for more.
"Why don't you dodge when I say so?"Ash asked.
"Are you done yet?"Paul questioned.
"Of course not! Turtwig, use Bite!"Ash ordered.
Turtwig ran to attack, only to be caught by a net.
"What the!?"Ash demanded.
"Listen, is that a voice that I hear?"
"It's speaking to me loud and clear!"
"On the wind!"
"Past the stars!"
"In your ear!"
"Bringing chaos at a breakneck places!"
"Dashing hope, putting fear in its places."
"A rose with any other name is just as sweet!"
"When everything's worse, our work is complete!"
"Ember!"Paul ordered.
"Ember...Ember!?"Team Rocket repeated.
Paul's Chimchar attacked with Ember and Team Rocket screamed as they felt fire burning on them.
"You can't do that!"Meowth complained.
"The kids are still getting used to our new motto!"Jessie stated.
"You're wrecking our battle! Get lost!"Paul snapped.
"Well, there is a twerp with a different colour."James stated.
"Look, Team Rocket! Give me my Turtwig back!"Ash demanded.
"Turtwig?"James repeated as he, Jessie, and Meowth took a closer look at the captive one.
They gasped, when it wasn't Pikachu, but it was Turtwig that they've captured.
"Weirdos."Denise muttered.
Shinx nodded with a frown. "Shinx."
"And here I thought Ash was the pathetic one."Paul said.
"How dare you! Educate the new twerp, if you please?"Jessie stated.
"Right! Look, twerp, we are known as Team Rocket, the coolest, the smartest, the nastiest, the cheapest...the hungriest..."James explained and then broke down crying.
"Wow, that's telling them!"Meowth complained.
"Carnivine, come out and help me!"James ordered.
Carnivine came out and bit on James head.
"Bullet seed."
He weakly ordered his Carnivine to use Bullet Seed.
The seeds was aimed towards Paul and Chimchar.
"Get out of the way, Paul!"Ash warned.
"Be quiet! Chimchar, use Ember!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar shot out another Ember attack battling with Carnivine's Bullet Seed attack.
"Now, Turtwig! Use Razor Leaf, let's go!"Ash ordered.
The Grass Type Pokémon freed itself by cutting the net with Razor Leaf.
Ash caught his Turtwig. "Okay, Pikachu, time for a little Thunderbolt!"
Denise stood up from the log and looked at her Electric Type."Shinx, how about a nice thunder wave to spice it up?"
Shinx nodded as he used Thunder Wave, which combined with Pikachu's Thunderbolt.
Team Rocket screamed as they were sent flying.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"Team Rocket screamed as they were out of sight.
Suddenly, the impact from the explosion caused Ash, Turtwig, Paul and Chimchar to fly off the ledge.
"Ash!"Denise called out.
"Shinx!"Shinx said as they watched them going down.
Ash and Turtwig fell in the river, but Paul and Chimchar managed to make it down to ground below.
"Whoa..."Denise whispered.
"Hey, you two!"Dawn called out.
Ash and Turtwig swam out of the lake and made it to land.
"Are you two okay!?"Denise asked.
"Yeah, don't worry!"Ash answered.
"Let's meet at the far side of the forest!"Brock stated.
"Sounds good to me!"Ash replied.
"Mmm, they'll be heading to Bewilder Forest."Denise said and looked at her electric type. "Shinx?"
The Flash Pokemon nodded and went on her shoulder as they started heading down carefully.
Ash and Turtwig ran over to Denise and Shinx, who went off his trainer's shoulder.
"Hey Dennie that was impressive."Ash said.
"Thanks."Denise commented with a smile.
The four saw Paul return his Chimchar and began to walk away.
"Paul, where are you going? Hey, wait up!"Ash called out.
"Ash!"Denise said as she and Shinx followed after their friend and his Turtwig.
Time passed as Paul, Ash, Turtwig, Denise and Shinx were in the middle of the dark forest.
"Hey, wait up, Paul."Ash asked. "So, what're you doing?"
"Getting out of here."Paul replied.
"Hey, since we're all trying to get out of here, let's do it together."Ash suggested.
"That sounds stupid."Paul admitted.
"Hey, what's so wrong of helping each other?"Ash asked.
"I don't need any help especially from a little kid like you."Paul said cruelly and walked away.
"What's with that guy?"Ash whispered with a frown.
"While you're talking with your friend, or yourself, you better watch out for Stantlers since this is Bewilder Forest."Paul explained.
"Those Big Horn Pokemon..."Denise mumbled.
Ash looked at Denise in confusion. "Bewilder Forest? What's that?"
"If your in this forest without evening knowing then your pathetic, I'm gone."Paul said.
He then walked away leaving the two trainers alone.
A While Later...
Denise and Shinx continued walking around the forest, when they notice Ash and his Turtwig weren't longer following from behind.
Denise groaned. "Man, I really hope Ash and Turtwig are okay, this forest is more confusing..."
Shinx sighed as they continued walking and then he heard a sound causing his ears to twitch.
He then went in front of Denise.
"Shinx!"The Flash Pokemon said.
"What is it, boy?"Denise asked. "Did you find something?"
Shinx nodded as he lead his trainer to where he saw the sound.
There they saw a group of Stantlers using Hypnosis on Ash and his Turtwig, who were swimming.
"Well, this is awkward..."Denise mumbled, while Shinx snickered at the sight.
"Hmph, lameos."Paul said and took out his pokeball. "Chimchar, help out those losers with Ember!"
Chimchar came out if its Pokéball and startled the wild Stantlers with Ember with the help of Shinx's Spark.
Ash opened his eyes to see Paul and Denise with Chimchar and Shinx.
"It's Paul and Denise...?"Ash asked.
"I hope we didn't disturb your swimming..."Denise joked.
A Stantler came right behind Ash causing him to move out of the way.
He wanted to challenge Chimchar.
"Chimchar, use Flame Wheel!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar bashed into the wild Stantler, who tried to block it with its horns.
Instead, it got caught in the flames.
"Now, let's check you out, pokeball, get it!"Paul ordered as he threw his empty Pokeball at the wild Stantler.
The Stantler was captured by Paul.
"Hey, Paul! Denise, thanks for helping us."Ash said.
"No problem."Denise said kindly.
"Yeah whatever."Paul said.
He checked Stantler's Pokeball with his black Pokedex.
"Oh please, this Stantler knows a simple Tackle attack, what a waste of time,get out."Paul said bitterly and released the Stantler, who then walked out of sight.
"I thought that Stantler wanted to be just friends."Ash said.
"Friends are just...useless."Paul stated.
He and his Chimchar began to walk away again.
Ash and Denise glared at him.
"I'll be glad when we get out of here..."Denise thought.
Later, Ash brought some apples from a tree and landed with a sigh.
"Can't do much without an empty stomach."Ash said. "So, here..."
He handed a few apples to Denise, who accepted the apples.
"Oh! Uh...thanks, Ash."Denise said.
She then sent out Turtwig and Eevee to share the three apples with Shinx.
Denise then opened her bag and took out a dark pink berry.
"What's that?"Ash asked.
"It's a Magost Berry."Denise explained. "A berry that is widely said to have a finely balanced flavor, here try one."
Denise gave a Magost Berry piece to Ash and he took a bite on it.
"Hey its great!"Ash said as he took another bite on the berry.
Turtwig didn't seem to wanting it, though.
"Hey, it tastes good, so eat."Ash stated.
Again, Turtwig refused, so he forced the berry for Ash to bite on.
"Whoa, what are you doing?"Ash asked. "You sure can be a stubborn Pokémon when you want to be."
"Mmm, so yummy."Denise mumbled sweetly as she took another bite on her apple.
Shinx bit the Magost Berry piece that Denise gave him and licked his lips at the sweetness.
Denise's Turtwig and Eevee were eating their apples calmly.
"You like the fruits isn't?"Denise asked.
"Turtwig."Denise's Turtwig said with a smile.
Eevee and Shinx nodded in agreement.
"You know, Ash."Denise said. "I think that's why Turtwig refused to dodge all the attacks during your battle with Paul."
There was a growl on Ash's Turtwig's stomach making it blush in embarrassment.
Eevee giggled, while Shinx snickered and Denise's Turtwig just smiled.
"C'mon, you can't fool me, I knew you were hungry."Ash said. "Here, you can have half of mine..."
He broke the last apple in half and gave the half to Turtwig, while keeping the other half to himself.
Denise's Turtwig gestured Ash's Turtwig to accept the apple piece.
Ash's Turtwig accepted the apple as everyone munched on their fruits.
"Come on now, you and I are buddies now."Ash said with a smile. "So, don't act like that we don't know each other."
"That's right, Turtwig."Denise replied. "Me and my pokemon are buddies too."
"Yeah, I only asked you to dodge because it was the right thing to do."Ash commented.
That made Turtwig excited as it jumped and bit onto Ash again.
Suddenly, they heard a rustle on the bushes, only to be seeing another Stantler.
"Turtwig, whatever you do, don't look at him!"Ash shouted as he ran blindly.
"Hey, Ash! Wait!"Denise protested.
Ash bumped into a tree making wild Beedrills appear.
"Oh no..."Denise said nervously.
"Beedrills! WAH!"Ash shouted as he grabbed Denise by the hand and making a run for it.
Denise's Turtwig, Eevee and Shinx ran after their trainer and shouted in fright as they got chased by the Beedrills.
The wild Stantler sweat dropped from the sight.
As they ran, the two trainers saw Dawn and Brock.
"Ash! Denise!"Dawn and Brock called out in relief.
They then notice the group of Beedrills that were chasing the two trainers.
"BEEDRILLS!"Brock and Dawn shouted.
They joined the chase with their Pokemon.
They kept running until Ash bumped into a giant bear.
He was pushed back, while Turtwig had let go of Ash's head.
"Whoa..."Brock said.
The Bear Pokemon caused all the Beedrills to fly away.
Dawn brought her Pokédex out to scan the wild Pokémon.
"Ursaring, the Hibernator Pokémon."Dawn's Pokédex said. "An excellent tree climber, it can snap trees with its front legs and eats the fallen fruits of it."
Ursaring began to roar at Ash in anger.
Turtwig refused to be frightened and used Bite on Ursaring's head.
The Hibernator Pokemon shook off the move.
"Turtwig, stop it!"Ash begged as he tried to hold onto Ursaring.
"Look out!"Brock and the two sisters shouted.
"Pika Pi!"Pikachu called out.
Ash and his Turtwig were smashed towards the tree and the ground.
Ursaring made another attempt to attack Ash.
Ash's Turtwig distracted the Hibernator Pokémon with Tackle.
As Ursaring tried to strike back, Turtwig actually dodged it.
"Hey your Turtwig is actually good at dodging, after all!"Denise said with a relieved smile.
"Alright, then!"Ash said. "Pikachu, use Iron Tail! Turtwig, use Razor Leaf!"
"Turtwig use Absorb, Eevee use Shadow Ball!"Denise ordered. "And Shinx use Thunder Wave!"
All the attacks succeeded, but only made Ursaring even more angrier than before.
"I think I would liked it, if it was a teddiursa."Denise commented nervously.
It used Hyber Beam, which resulted the heroes and their Pokemon to run away.
"We finally got out of that crazy forest!"Dawn said.
"Yeah, but so did that mad Ursaring!"Denise reminded.
Just then, they saw Paul with his Chimchar.
"Look out!"Paul shouted.
Everybody got out of the way.
"Chimchar use Flame Wheel."Paul ordered.
Chimchar used Flame Wheel and the wild Ursaring got trapped in it.
"Okay, Pokéball, get it!"Paul said throwing another empty Pokeball at Ursaring.
It shook for a few moments and it then stopped.
"That's amazing, Ursaring's been caught!"Dawn said.
"Yeah, but we'll see how long."Ash stated with a frown. "If Paul doesn't thinks that they're strong enough, he just lets them go."
Paul checked Ursaring's moves in his Pokedex.
"This one is not bad, so I think I'll keep it."Paul admitted.
"Hey Paul..."Ash said.
"Are you still holding onto that lame Turtwig of yours?"Paul asked.
"Huh?"Ash said.
"You should know that by our last battle that Pokemon is pathetic."Paul stated.
That made Denise's Turtwig mad, while Eevee and Shinx growled at the rude trainer.
"You don't get it do you?"Ash asked. "If you work with them, they'll get stronger, let's battle once more."
"Forget it, you can't win."Paul replied as he began to walk away.
"Hold on, Paul."Denise said. "Since you already battled Ash, I would like to have a battle with you."
"Huh?!"Ash, Brock and Dawn said in unison.
Paul looked at Denise and Shinx before sneering.
"Fine, but don't cry if you lose."He said.
"We'll see about that..."Denise commented with a smirk as Shinx stepped forward ready to battle.
Paul grew amused by this and sent out his Chimchar.
It was Denise's Shinx vs Paul's Chimchar.
Denise's Turtwig and Eevee were safely in their pokeballs.
"After you."Paul said.
"Okay! Shinx use Tackle!"Denise ordered.
Shinx charged at Chimchar.
"Dodge and use scratch."Paul ordered.
Chimchar went close to Shinx.
"Quick dodge it."Denise said.
Shinx obeyed and dodged the scratch attack.
"Now use Thunder Wave!"Denise ordered.
Shinx sents a Thunder Wave to paralyze the Fire Type.
"Ember!"Paul stated.
Chimchar fired small fire balls at the Thunder Wave causing the moves to explode.
"Now Shinx use Spark!"Denise ordered.
Shinx sents a Spark at Chimchar.
"Chimchar dig!"Paul ordered.
Denise gasped."What?!"
Chimchar goes underneath the ground causing Shinx to grow nervous.
"Use scratch!"Paul said.
Chimchar comes out of the hole behind Shinx!
"Shinx use Leer!"Denise ordered.
Shinx glares at Chimchar before dodging the attack.
"Chimchar dig!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar went underneath the ground making Shinx glance at each side.
"Chimchar use Scratch!"Paul stated.
Chimchar does silly faces at Shinx making the Flash Pokemon confused and attacks him with scratch.
"That tears it! Shinx aim Thunder Wave at the holes!"Denise ordered.
Shinx sends a Thunder Wave that goes in each hole.
Chimchar cries out in pain of the Thunder Wave.
"Not so fast...quick Ember!"Paul said.
Chimchar fired Ember at Shinx.
"Hurry Shinx into one of the holes!"Denise protested.
Shinx quickly went into one of the holes to dodge the Fire Type move.
"That's awsome!"Ash said.
"Very clever on jumping to one of those holes."Brock said with a smile.
"Nice one, Shinx..."Denise commented proudly.
"Foolish mistake."Paul stated with a smirk. "Chimchar use Dig!"
Denise paled. "Oh no!"
Chimchar goes beneath the ground and throws Shinx out!
"Ground Type moves have advantages on Electric types."Dawn said worriedly.
"Shinx quick use Thunder Wave!"Denise called out.
Shinx glares at the Chimp Pokemon and zaps it with Thunder Wave.
Chimchar fells to the ground in front of Paul with a few wounds.
Shinx landed safely in front of Denise with a few scratches.
"Chimchar use Flame Wheel!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar charged at Shinx with Flame Wheel.
"Shinx Tackle!"Denise ordered.
Shinx charges at Chimchar when suddenly gets surrounded by Electric energy.
"Whoa that's Wild Charge!"Ash said.
"Pika..."Pikachu whispered in amazement.
Then the two foe pokemons bashed into each other causing an explosion.
When the smoke cleared it showed Chimchar and Shinx glaring at each other waiting for one of them to faint.
Both of them had more wounds by their moves.
They then both collapsed into the ground with swirls on their eyes.
It was a Tie!
"Huh? A tie?!"Denise said in surprise.
"Like my first battle..."Ash said.
Denise returns Shinx into his pokeball.
"Thanks Shinx, you were amazing."She said with a small smile.
Paul returned Chimchar into its pokeball.
"I'll look forward for our next battle."He stated with a smirk. "See ya later, Denise."
"Umm...bye."Denise said.
Dawn walked up to her twin sister with Ash,Brock, Pikachu and Piplup.
"That was great, Denise."Dawn said with a smile.
"Shinx has gone pretty strong."Ash said.
"It was a impressive strategy."Brock commented.
"Thanks guys."Denise said kindly and looks at the direction where Paul left.
