Chapter 17 - chapter 17

We are females you idiot!" yelled Absol.

"Exactly my point. So shut up and listen." said Charizard to both of them.

"Second of all. If I wouldn't stopped this both of you would have died here. So. What do we say to a guy who saved your life?" asked Charizard the two Pokemon in his hand.

"Moron." said Weavile.

"Dickhead." said Absol.

"Ok. I ran out of patience. Let's take a trip ladies shall we?" asked Charizard with evil grin. Both females look at him confused. Charizard then spread his mighty orange/blue wings and with a few flaps he was high in the air still holding Weavile and Absol in his hands.

"What is he doing Ash?" asked Mewtwo.

"I have an idea. Just watch and enjoy the show. You'll find out in a moment." said Ash back as he was looking at the area Charizard flew in.

"I am going to ask one last time. What do we say to a guy who saved your life?" asked Charizard as he was flapping his wings high in the air.

Both dark type Pokemon were still confused by Charizard's actions. He just took them in the air in mere seconds. They were at least one whole kilometer above the ground. That was incredibly fast! Slowly the confusion transformed into fear. They were never this high in the skies. And when you are your whole life on the ground, this isn't something you want to experience. None of the females knew what to say. And that was very unfortunate for them.

"Well since I didn't get the answer..." said Charizard and then he released both Pokemon from his grip.

Weavile's and Absol's eyes widened. He did it. Now both of them were falling at an incredible speed to the ground. They were totally screwed. It took some time. But after a few seconds of falling, they began screaming. And loudly. Charizard took this as a signal to fly to them.

"That wasn't a proper answer. But I am a good guy. I'll give you one last chance. So. Let's try this one last time, shall we? What do you say to a guy to a guy who saved your life?" said Charizard in a relaxed tone as he was flying with them to the ground.

"THANK YOU! THANK YOU! JUST CATCH US!" yelled both females frantically when they were halfway through the fall.

"Hmmmm... I don't know. Do you really want to be saved by a dickhead? Or a moron?" said Charizard to them calmly.

"OKAY! WE ARE SORRY! SO SORRY! JUST SAVE US! QUICKLY! PLEASE! PLEASE!" again yelled the two dark type Pokemon scared to death.

"Was it that hard?" asked Charizard unfazed by the fact that the ground was only about 100 meters away.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" yelled Absol and Weavile as they lost their eyes. They wanted to just yell out quick No. But when they saw the ground coming, the quick no transformed into the desperate scream of no.

Absol and Weavilel the felt someone catching them. But they didn't dare to open their eyes. After a few minutes, they finally opened their eyes after few seconds. They were still in one piece. Thankfully. When they looked around they saw two cloaked figures one of the figures had a Pikachu on its shoulder. And right beside one of the figures stood that fucking Charizard. Even though they were super angry at him, they knew that they can't anger him more. It could be much worse than the fall that they went through just a few seconds before. Besides. They are still tired and in a bad condition from their fight.

"Glad to see that Charizard knocked some sense into you too. I'm Ash by the way." said Ash to them.

They didn't answer. Just turned their heads from Ash angrily. Ash then chuckled and continued. They were stubborn as ever. Looking for strength to defeat the other and nothing else. This'll be easy.

"If you want I can help you get stronger. I trained this Charizard you know. So If you want to beat your rival, I can help you with that."

Absol and Weavile then looked at Charizard. To their shock, Charizard nodded, approving what Ash said. Then in a matter of seconds, both of them jumped to Ash. When they realized that both of them want to go with him, they got into the fight again.

"Hey. Hey. Take it easy. I can train both of you. That's not a problem." said Ash as he was calming down the small fight.

"Here. If you want to join me, go inside. My Gardevoir'll take care of your injuries in my cave and when you'll be better, we can start your training." said Ash with a warm smile on his face as he pulled two pokeballs out of his belt. Fortunately, that smile Ash tried to give them was covered by his scarf.

Absol and Weavile then without any thinking whatsoever tapped the pokeballs and let themselves be caught inside.

"This'll be so annoying." thought Charizard as he was thinking about the life with those two in the cave. After Ash added 2 new members to his Pokemon family, the group was back in the skies, roaming through the Hoenn Region, looking for more Pokemon to add to their family.

Hoenn search came to an end today. They were all around the region but they couldn't find more Pokemon to add to Ash's family. So right now, they are in the cave again. Ash was again trying to meditate with Riolu overlooking his training. Everyone was already healed and everyone was doing different things. And boy the new Hoenn crew in the cave was causing so many troubles. First, there was Sableye. Who decided to just provoke Ash's Infernape as long as he could. The fact that Infernape has the shortest temper out of all Ash's Pokemon just added to Sableye's joy of joking around him.

"SABLEYE! IM GOING TO TEAR YOU TO PIECES FOR THIS! WHERE ARE YOU YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" yelled Infernape. He was being heard by everyone in their gigantic grassy cave.

"Hihihi." laughed Sableye who was hiding on the ceiling of the cave. He just poured a can of black paint on Infernape. So Infernape had a nice colored makeover. And to add the salt to the wound, everyone was just laughing at him.

"Shouldn't we get him down for Infernape?" asked Staraptor his flying friend Swellow near him. Both of them were in a small hole above the rest of Pokemon's 'rooms' since they like heights. Staraptor thought that Infernape deserved a little revenge on the Darkness Pokemon.

"Do you want to end up like him?" asked Swellow his best friend. Those two spend most of their time together. They were like brothers. When they met at the lab they immediately just clicked. Being the only two bird Pokemon in the lab, if we exclude the lone wolf Noctowl who likes to be alone, they naturally became best buddies.

"What?! Of course, I don't want to." replied Staraptor to Swellow.

"Then just let him do what he's doing. Because next time it would have been us, if we would get in his way. If we'll be lucky enough, he'll be pranking just Infernape and not us." said Swellow to Staraptor.

"Yeah good idea. I like to keep my feathers clean anyway." said Staraptor. But unknown to them. Sableye's next target are those two birds.

"HE'S MINE! DONT'T YOU DARE TO GET NEAR HIM!" yelled another Pokemon in the cave. And this one was one of the newest. It was Weavile.

"HAH! WHO WOUL'VE WANT TO BE WITH YOU ANYWAY. SCREAMING DUMB POKEMON LIKE YOU COULD NEVER END UP WITH HIM!" yelled another new Pokemon. This time it was Absol.

"YEAH?! WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT! JUST WATCH AND LEARN!" said Weavile as she was in away from Absol. This was the second trouble. These two are just at each other's throats since they arrived here. First, the fight was about strength and now it looked like they were arguing about some male.

"OH NO. YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" said Absol as she jumped at Weavile and their little fight began.

"Shouldn't we interrupt it before they got themselves hurt again?" asked Luxio a new friend she made, Quilava, from afar.

"Don't worry. We have a guy for the situations just like this. Just watch a pro in action." said Quilava to her friend.

As the two females were fighting, they were wrapped by something. Before they could think about what is going on, they were torn from each other and were in the air again. This time however they were wrapped by some vines it looked like.

"Hey. Let us down!" yelled Weavile when she saw a Pokemon holding them.

"Not until we'll settle this. What is going on here?" asked the Pokemon that Ash had for the longest time. Besides Pikachu of course. The veteran of the group, Bulbasaur.

"Fine. If you won't let us down willingly..." said Absol as she charged her horn with white energy and was ready to shoot Razor Wind attack at Bulbasaur. Weavile, on the other hand, formed a Hidden Power between her hands and was ready to shoot it at Bulbasaur too. Bulbasaur expecting something like this just lined the two Pokemon against each other to shoot the attacks. "Every. Single. Time." thought Bulbasaur. It was always like this at the ranch when he was ending the conflicts.

When the females in the air realized what could happen they canceled their attacks.

Suddenly Bulbasaur felt something clinging on his bulb. And sucking the liquids that his bulb was generating for the seeds that he can shoot from it. Everybody knew what was sucking his bulb. Sorry not what but who it was. "Goddammit, Heracross! Not NOW!" yelled Bulbasaur. And since he had his vines occupied by restraining the two females he had to improvise. He took Weavile and slammed her into the Heracross sending him few meters back. Thankfully Heracross went away when he did that. But on the other hand he angered Weavile.

"WHAT THE HELL! WHY DID YOU USE ME AND NOT HER! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" yelled angry Weavile. Absol was just laughing her ass of.

"Sorry. It's nothing personal. I have a better coordination in my left vine then the right one. That's why. But that's not important. What were you two arguing about again?" asked Bulbasaur. As Bulbasaur asked this question both females looked at one specific Pokemon. It was Charizard. That strong Pokemon who caught their attacks like it was nothing. His strength was just so godddamn hot to them. Bulbasaur realised what was going on pretty quickly.

"Ahhhhh. So Charizard is the reason for this fight. Heh. I'm sorry to tell you ladies but Charizard already taken." said Bulbasaur to them. His friend came a long way. From a little Charmander to the female magnet as a probably strongest Charizard in this world. "We have been through a lot." thought Bulbasaur. He missed his original elemental trio. Good old times. But now? Squirtle is gone, leading his new Squirtle squad and Charizard isn't who he used to be. It's a little depressing.

"WHAT?!" asked Absol and Weavile.

"Ahhh. Yes. He has a mate in Charisific Valley. She is already carrying his cubs. So you'll have to find someone else." said Bulbasaur as he finally put them back to the ground before continuing with his story.

"Ladies. Let Charizard go. He is pretty devasted by the fact that he can't see his mate and his future cubs already. He would throw both of you on the wall if you would suggest anything perverted you two have in mind. It's not just about him and strength you know. We all are here for a very important reason. I'm going to explain everything to you so you better listen. It's long and crazy story." said Bulbasaur as he explained everything to those two fiery Pokemon. And at the end of Bulbasaur's story, both of them were silent. Calmed down.

"Amazing. He's like the wise grandpa of Ash's Pokemon family." said Luxio in awe to Quilava when she saw Bulbasaur calming both Pokemon down.

"Yeah. Except he isn't that old." said Quilava to Luxio. It was known that Bulbasaur is very wise. But he isn't as old as everyone make him to be. It is a running joke in Ash's group that Bulbasaur is older than professor Oak himself.

Two days later

"I never thought that I'll come here again." said Ash.

"Pikaaaaa..." said Pikachu back to him.

"You've been here before?" asked Mewtwo.

"Yeah..." said Ash. Ash, Pikachu, and Mewtwo were walking through the caves of Mount Silver in Johto region. Similarly to Sinnoh, when they tried to find new Pokemon in Hoenn days later, Ash didn't fell the connection a single time. So they decided to go to another region. Johto. And as soon as they neared the Mount Silver, Ash felt the connection again. And the connection was coming from the heart of the dangerous mountain.

After some walking, the group registered a small trembling in the ground. They stopped for a moment. Another trembling. This time slightly stronger. Ash told his Pokemon to get ready for battle. Then another tremble. Stronger again. Something big was coming towards them. After some strong trembles in the ground, a group of Pokemon was revealed to them as they were marching through the cave. And they weren't ordinary Pokemon. It was a herd of Tyranitars marching through. When they saw Ash and his Pokemon, they didn't look like they appreciate their presence in the mountain. All of them got into the attack stances and were ready to fight. All of them except one. This one Tyranitar immediately stepped between Ash and the herd, and was saying something wildly to the herd.

"Pika!" yelled the yellow mouse and jumped out of Ash's shoulder and ran to the Tyranitar between him and the herd.

"Pikachu?" asked Ash. He knows Pikachu very well. And this is nothing like his ordinary behavior. And he didn't catch what was Pikachu saying, unfortunately.

Pikachu then jumped on the Tyranitar's shoulder and extended his paw for high five. The Tyranitar immediately took the chance and high fived Pikachu's small paw with a smile on her face. She then looked at the two cloaked figures. Even though Ash was covered in a cloak, he could never hide his scent. And this Tyranitar knew how Ash smells. She began running to Ash's direction with arms wide open with a desire to give him a big, nice and bone-crushing hug. And before Ash knew it, he was enveloped in a big bone-crushing hug comparable to Delia's when he came back from a journey.

Mewtwo was ready to attack, but Pikachu signaled him not to when Tyranitar was running at Ash. Whatever was going on here, it had a rich history, that's for sure.

Tyranitar then let Ash breath for a moment and looked at him. He was a little taller than the time she last saw him. And he definitely changed his wardrobe. He looked like a creep to her.

"Pikachu! Chu pika pi!" said Pikachu to confused Ash. It took him some time but he was finally able to process what was going on and what Pikachu was saying. It all made sense now. Why the connection felt familiar when he registered it in the air. And why this Tyranitar was so affectionate towards him. Ash was her adoptive father after all.

"Larvitar?!" asked Ash.

"Raaaaaaaaar!" roared Tyranitar with a smile afterward.

"My god I can't believe it's you who was calling out to me! This is amazing! I am so glad to see you again!" said excited Ash to Lar... Tyranitar.

It felt like yesterday when he received Larvitar's egg from professor Elm at the Marine Pokemon Laboratory. And now? 2.5 meters high Tyranitar was standing right in front of Ash's eyes. From a simple green egg to a fearsome Tyranitar. "Time flies fast." thought Ash.

"Raaaaaaaar!" roared happy Tyranitar again. She was so glad that he came here. She is no longer that weak little Larvitar she once was. She no longer needs the protection of her family. Don't get her wrong, it was great that her mother raised her here. But. She wants to go on an adventure with Ash again. Life here is pretty boring. If he would just accept her back and added her to the team it would be great.

"So. These guys behind you are your friends and family?" asked Ash.

"Raawr" growled Tyranitar as she nodded her head.

"P...Pleasure to meet you guys." said nervous Ash as he was going to the herd of at least 20 Tyranitars. When Ash finally made it to the herd, he was already terrified to bits. Not a single one of them had a pleasant look and their face. And Mount Silver is known to host the strongest Pokemon in Kanto and Johto. Scary even for Ash.

"I promise that I won't do anything to you. I would be pretty stupid if I would don't you think?" said Ash with a chuckle trying to lighten up the mood. Ash received growls in response. Hard to tell if they were friendly or not.

"A...Anyway. I.. I would like to take Tyranitar with me." said Ash nervously. Angry growls responded to Ash's statement.

"D...Don't worry. I... I won't hurt her. I was the one who brought her here after all." said Ash. To the group. Suddenly the whole herd wasn't on their 'on alert' mode, and were much more relaxed. One Tyranitar especially. She made her way through the crowd. This Tyranitar was now standing in front of Ash. And she was smiling at the cloaked trainer. Then she took his hood off revealing his face to her.

As this happened, Ash's former Larvitar made her way to Ash and the herd again. With Pikachu on her shoulder and Mewtwo beside them. Mewtwo himself was on the edge whole time. Especially when that Tyranitar took of Ash's hood. You never know what a wild Pokemon can do. Then Ash's former Larvitar growled something to the Tyranitar that took of Ash's hood. They were discussing something.

"I would take her with me if she would want of course. I don't want to take her away from you if she doesn't want to. You're her mother after all. Am I right?" asked Ash the question.

"Raaar" growled and nodded the Tyranitar. Confirming Ash's theory. After a discussion between those two Tyranitars in front of the whole herd of them, Ash's former Tyranitar hugged her mother and growled something again to her for the last time. Ash's former Tyranitar then looked at Ash with a happy look and nodded.

"Welcome back, Tyranitar." said Ash as he unclipped another empty pokeball from his belt and offered it to Tyranitar.

"Riolu use Aura Sphere. Tyranitar use Dark Pulse!" said Ash.

After Ash caught Tyranitar, they walked out of the mountain to the rocky clearing before the mountain. It took some time because Mount Silver is a pretty big mountain, but they managed. And Ash wanted to test Tyranitar's skills and abilities in a little sparring match. Riolu volunteered for this match. Of course. And thus it began. Riolu was already pretty beat up. Tyranitar was just too god damn strong for little Emanation Pokemon. Nevertheless, he still stood up. Asking for more.

And he received more. Tyranitar's Dark Pulse overpowered Riolu's Aura Sphere without a problem and hit Riolu. Worthless. That's how Riolu felt even through the pain. He was training like a madman when he wasn't overlooking Ash's training. And it still wasn't enough to be on par with this Tyranitar.

"I think this should be enough. Goo..." said Ash. But he was interrupted by someone.

"No! Not yet. I can still go!" yelled Riolu through his Aura link with Ash.

"Riolu. You are beaten up pretty badly. You've put up a good fight. You should rest up. This isn't a life or death match. Take it easy buddy." said Ash.

"Don't you dare to stop it, Ash. I still want to fight!" said Riolu in a harsh tone to Ash. One hit. That's all he asks for. Give him one hit and he'll give it up. He doesn't want to go down like this.

"... Okay, Riolu. But when the next attack hit you we are ending this fight without a debate. Is that clear Romeo?" said Ash with a sigh. Stubborn as ever.

"Fine. And why is everyone calling me Romeo? I don't like it and it's a stupid nickname." said Riolu via the link.

"Sure Romeo. I'll explain it to you later." said Ash teasingly to Riolu. Riolu just sighed inwardly.

"Riolu use Blaze Kick! Tyranitar use Dragon Claw!" said Ash to his two Pokemon. He was impressed how Riolu was holding up. But more importantly, he was impressed by Tyranitar. That Pokemon is a beast! Riolu doesn't even stand a chance and Riolu as a big type advantage. Don't get Ash wrong, he trusts Riolu, but his Tyranitar is on a completely different power level. And Riolu is much more inexperienced in battles then Ash's other Pokemon. "I surely don't want to anger Tyranitar up." thought Ash.

Even though Riolu tried his hardest with the Blaze Kick, he was no match for Tyranitar's Dragon Claw. Riolu was sent to the ground for the last time. At least that's what it looked like. When Ash was going to stop the training, Riolu got up again. Legs wobbly but he still pulled himself up. With a roar he let everyone one know that he isn't done yet despite his injuries. Riolu then began to glow in a bright white light. "Well. Well. Well. I am certainly glad that I let him take that last attack" thought Ash. After a few seconds, a new Pokemon emerged from the yellow light. The Aura Pokemon, Lucario.

"Well, congaratulation. How are you feeling? Lucario." asked happy Ash to his newly evolved Pokemon.

"Taller. Stronger. Refreshed." replied Lucario.

"Well. Let's see how much stronger the evolution made you." said Ash. And even though he didn't give Lucario any command Lucario ran to Tyranitar with a long bone like the staff in his paws. "I've seen this before. That's Bone Rush." thought Ash. Tyranitar then used Dragon Claw to block this attack. Both Pokemon then exchanged a few blows with Bone Rush and Dragon Claw until Tyranitar gave a big punch to Lucario's bone staff and it forced him to slide back few meters when he blocked it.

"Magnificent job. But next time wait for my command OK?" said Ash. Both Pokemon nodded to Ash and Tyranitar even gave Ash another big hug. After the hug finally ended Ash was able to breathe and say something.

"You should squeeze me much more next time Tyranitar. I would love to have my bones crushed by you know." said Ash with sarcasm. Embarrassed Tyranitar just nodded to this.

"What do you say we'll end our trip for today. I think it's time for a little break and then we can fly back home. You both earned it." said Ash proud of his Pokemon. Tyranitar could be easily categorized as one of his 7 strongest Pokemon right now. And Riolu's evolution to Lucario was an amazing surprise and he was able to even trade some blows with Tyranitar. This was a huge step forward.

During this whole time, they were watched by a certain Pokemon from an elevated rock. He watched in absolute awe what was happening there. The fight between Tyranitar and Lucario was a sight to be held. He wants to be able to do that too. But he is just soo... clumsy. He misses attacks and falls on his face constantly. Which is surprising since he has the ability to levitate and has nothing to stumble over. Talented individual he is. Just not in a field he would want to. And his clumsiness was demonstrated again. He wanted to get closer, but he forgets that he is on an elevated rock and fell from the rock. And he was falling right into the crew that was training there.

When Ash stopped the training and made his way to his Pokemon he felt the connection again. And it was awfully close. He looked in the direction where it was coming from and saw a Pokemon rolling right towards him. Thankfully Mewtwo lifted Ash with Psychic just in time to avoid the collision. Mewtwo let Ash down and together they went to inspect the Pokemon that rolled to them.

"That was awfully close. Thanks, Mewtwo." said Ash.

"You are welcome, Ash." said Mewtwo through telepathy.

They were near the unexpected guest right now.

"Guys. I think this is another future member of our Pokemon family." said Ash.

Pikachu, Tyranitar, Lucario, Mewtwo, and Ash were both looking on the ground where the Pokemon lied. It was a Pokemon made entirely from blue metal with red eyes and two hands. Ash saw this Pokemon before. Morrison has the same one. Metang. The Iron Claw Pokemon. Metang then pulled himself up and looked at Ash. What followed were various sounds coming from Metang as he was approaching every single Pokemon there.

"Mewtwo? What's going on? Did he hit himself on the head? Wait. Would it affect him like this if he would? Does a Metang have a brain inside?" asked Ash. He was overthinking this a little bit. But really. Does a Metang have a brain inside of his metal head? Or is there something else?

"Ash. I don't know how Metangs work. But I can say that he is apologizing to everyone for the mess he made." replied Mewtwo.

"Ooo. Ok. But still. Somebody should get on that. Anyway. Metang?" asked Ash.

"Tang!" Metang then appeared right in front of Ash again bowing his head frantically and apologizing.

"Hey. Hey. It's OK. It's fine. Nothing happened. Well, not to us anyway. What about you? Are you okay? That fall must've done some damage to you." asked Ash this clumsy Pokemon as he was trying to calm him down.

Metang furiously shook his head, telling Ash that he is completely fine. Then he looked into the ground in shame. He screwed up again. Sadly. Everything he does is screwing up.

"Don't be sad buddy. It was an accident. It happens." said Ash.

"Tang. Met. Metang." said sadly Metang.

"Mewtwo?" asked Ash. Clearly for translation.

"Metang is ashamed of himself. He said that all he ever does is screw things up" said Mewtwo to Ash.

Then Ash's other Pokemon began talking to Metang. Pikachu, Lucario, and Tyranitar were all around him saying some soothing words to him. After a few minutes of conversation, Metang looked happier. It's hard to tell due to him not having mouth, but Ash could see it in Metang's crimson eyes.

"Metang. I need you." said Ash to now happy Metang.

"Tang?" replied confused Metang. Him? Why on Earth would he need him? He is a clumsy mess on a Pokemon. There are hundreds of Pokemon in this area. This doesn't make any sense.

"It'll be hard to understand this, but hear me out. I have a special power. This power grants me some kind of connection to a few Pokemon in a wild. I think that these Pokemon are destined to fight by my side and become stronger. Stronger than anyone can imagine. I need help with every single one of those Pokemon to purge this world from an evil organization that is trying to take over Kanto Region and maybe the whole world. And you are one of those Pokemon." said Ash.

Metang looked at Ash with even more confused look. Special power. Connection to some pokemon. Making them stronger. Purge the world from evil. It all sounds good and dandy. But a little unbelievable if you ask him. There is just no way this could be real. Metang's eyes then looked at the 3 Pokemon before him. Pikachu and Lucario just nodded. Tyranitar just stared at the whole situation in disbelief. Nobody told her that too. But it didn't bother her that much. She is just glad that she is going on an adventure.

"So. What do you say Metang? Care to join my quest?" asked Ash.

Metang put a deep thought into this. Taking this guys offer is very appealing. If he could make him stronger and not so utterly useless it would be great. But on the other hand. It seemed like a very dangerous idea. Taking down criminal organization is most likely no joke. It seemed very serious. So. What will it be? He looked at Ash's Pokemon one last time and was decided right there. He doesn't have anyone after all. So why to waste time here all alone. He could make friends, get better at fighting and all that. It is dangerous. Of course. But it'll be worth it. He looked at Ash with his and nodded his big metal head.

"Awesome. Now just get inside, and I'll let you out when we'll be home." said Ash to Metang as he unclipped another Pokeball off his belt and let Metang get inside.

"You are really good at making friends with wild Pokemon Ash." said Mewtwo through telepathy to Ash. It was magnificent to watch him talking them into them joining him on his mission. Yeah, his battles were entertaining, but just watching him bonding with them like this. It's a very pleasant sight. And it feels somewhat right too.

"Heh. Thanks. It's kinda my thing I guess." replied Ash.

Everybody was excited to meet their newest members of family. Metang was trying to fit in and make some friends. It was successful so far. He hangs out with Torterra now. They both have an experience with being clumsy. So Torterra serves as some kind of mentor to the clumsy Metang. On the other hand, Tyranitar was greeting her friends from the past. And in the end, she was hanging out with Bayleef. Talking about Ash's adventures in the past.

The group arrived at a cave an hour ago and one Pokemon was hiding from the others. More specifically from one female Pokemon.

"Why are you hiding from her?" asked a yellow rodent

"What do you mean why? Look at me. I am a completely different Pokemon!" replied the Aura Pokemon.

"You do realize that she'll find out in a few hours." told Pikachu.

"I know. I just. Have to think this through." said Lucario to Pikachu. When Charizard and Pikachu talked to him about females and that he didn't screw anything up with Gardevoir, he became much more nervous around her. He was now in a confused state about her. How'll he know that what he is doing is right? He didn't recognize it last time. And Pikachu with Charizard told him that you can't understand females unless you are one. Great advice. Yeah, they gave him advice on how to compliment her and what females like. Like flowers for example. But that's it.

"Oh hell no. When it comes to females you function best when your logical mind is completely shut off like you told us last time." said Pikachu to his hopeless friend. "GARDEVOIR?! COULD YOU COME HERE PLEASE?" shouted Pikachu in a cave.

"Wait! What are you doing! She can't see me like this! Not yet! I'm not ready!" yelled Lucario angrily at the yellow mouse.

"If you hadn't realized it yet I'm helping you out. Ou look. Here she comes." said Pikachu calmly.

And as Pikachu said, Gardevoir was coming to their view. And yes she looked gorgeous. At least to Lucario. He was trying to get away, but Pikachu's tail suddenly glows in a bright color. He slammed the tail near Lucario's foot when he tried to walk away.

"You are not going anywhere, Romeo. I'll get you to her one way or another. And trust me. You don't want to lie in front of her when I'm done with you. The choice is yours." said Pikachu.

Lucario gulped. He was now again in a corner. He likes fighting, but if Pikachu would go all out on him. Boy, he would end up like Luxio, when Pikachu met her. And he certainly doesn't want to lie in front of Gardevoir in that state. Choice he said. That isn't choice at all.

"Hi, Pikachu. What is going on" asked Gardevoir when she saw Pikachu and a new Pokemon in a cave.

"Is this one of the new guys? Nice to meet you I'm Gardevoir. I heal others here." she introduced herself politely.

"Ooooh. OK. Yeah, he's a new one. What do you think about him" asked Pikachu. He's going to play a little game with those two. Let's see how it'll go.

"Hmm... He looks... nice. I.. I guess. But can't make my opinion on him when I don't know him. What's your name?" asked Gardevoir. She was curious who he is. He resembles someone but he is still quite different. And he really did look nice. And he looked... feral. It was her little secret but she really likes when male Pokemon looks like that. Or at least gave her a feeling like that. But they have to behave a little at least too.

"I... I'm Lucario. And... we already know each other." replied Lucario. God his brain was offline again.

"Really? I don't think I've seen you before." said Gardevoir. Even his voice was like from a wild feral Pokemon. And at this moment Pikachu went a few steps back to give them some privacy but still overlooking the whole situation just in case.

"W...Well, you knew me as Riolu. I evolved on the trip to Johto region." replied Lucario nervously. This was it. How'll she react?

"R...riolu?" she asked in disbelief as Lucario slightly and nervously nodded.. Now it makes sense. She didn't see him in the cave this whole time! She was even looking for him. She doesn't know why but she was. Now here he is. And God does the new look suit him.

"You... You got... hot" replied nervous Gardevoir. She was adoring his new look so much that she even made a slip of a tongue.

"H...hot?" asked confused Lucario. This isn't a response he was expecting.

"I have to go!" screamed shy Gardevoir and she quickly ran away. "I wanted to say tall! WHY?! Where did that come from?!" asked herself a blushing and embarrassed Gardevoir. She would rather dig a hole and die from embarrassment then meet Lucario again. How is she going to explain this?

"What's the matter Gardevoir?" asked Pikachu when he saw Gardevoir.

"N...Nothing! A... Absolutely n... nothing.!" she shouted frantically. And resumed her run from the embarrassing situation. Pikachu then looked to Lucario and went to him.

"So what happened. Tell me and I'll make it right. This is kinda my fault after all." said Pikachu to Lucario. Pikachu thought that Lucario screwed up somehow. But. Lucario looked more stunned than sad. Like he had no clue what happened.

"What do females mean when they call you hot, Pikachu?" asked confused Lucario.

Another two days went by and Ash's search came to an end. He didn't find any more Pokemon in Kanto region. And since he flew nearly all around these regions he decided to end his search for Pokemon. With these regions completely explored a new step in their mission will begin. And it is the most important step. This will determine if they'll succeed or fail. From now on they have 3 years. Three years to bring every single member here, in this cave, to a top condition. They'll have to endure a hellish training every day to be ready for their mission to succeed. He isn't looking forward to it. But. They have no choice. Lives of many people now rest on their shoulders.

"Mewtwo." said Ash. He now stood in the middle of the cave near the fireplace in his Sinnoh outfit. He'll have to wash it up soon. Now he has Pikachu on his shoulder and Mewtwo is standing beside him.

"Yes?" said Mewtwo.

"It's time. Bring everyone here. Serious training begins right now."
