This is my first fan fiction, so constructive criticisms are more than welcome. This was supposed to be posted on Friday, December 7 but there was a glitch in the web site and it prevented me from logging in. The relationships that are featured here are advanceshipping and between May's blaziken and Ash's infernape. Ash actually got a chimchar in the show, but that happens many episodes later.

A Blaze and an Inferno
A boy gritted his teeth and clenched his sweaty fists. He had a look of determination on his face. A sweat drop could be seen rolling down from near his unruly, messy hair to his cheek. If one looked at his auburn eyes, he or she could also see that his eyebrows were furrowed. He wore red sneakers, baggy blue jeans, and a white shirt coupled with a black vest with a yellow chevron across it.
"Pika !, pikachu ( Ouch, that must hurt. Is he okay? What should be done, Ash? )"
The anxious voice belonged to a yellow rat who had red cheeks, pointy ears with black tips, and a thunderbolt shaped tail. The rodent, who belongs to a species called pikachu, is usually found perched on his trainer's shoulder, but now he has a tighter grip on the shirt of boy's shoulder as he watched the intense scene unfold before his eyes.
The field before the boy and his pikachu standing in the platform above it is swirling with sand and dust from what seemed to be from a powerful collision. On the other side of the field on a platform similar to that of the boy stood another young man with the same expression as the boy with the pikachu. Around the field and the two boys were many people seated in seats arranged in a staircase fashion like a stadium. A few silent seconds passed as the swirling cloud of sand and dust on the field began to clear and heavy panting noises can be heard in that area. After the cloud settled, a panting ape and a motionless shrew were revealed to everyone. The white and brown ape naturally had yellow plates on his shoulders, wrists, parts of his chest, and his knees. The large, unconscious shrew had a very spiny back, sharp claws, and black eyes.
" Sandslash is unable to battle and the winner of the Sinnoh league championship is Ash, from Pallet town." said the referee as he pointed towards the winner with the green flag and pointed at the loser with the red flag.
The boy with the pikachu burst into joy as the crowd around them roared in excitement. The person on the other side of the field, his opponent, however had the opposite reaction. He had the look of disappointment on his face and ,yet, the look of satisfaction from a great battle on his face as well.
" Return, Infernape."-said Ash, the boy with the pikachu, while pointing an ordinary red and white pokeball at the ape pokemon. A red beam then shot out of the pokeball, engulfing the pokemon, dematerializing him, and retracted the beam back inside the pokeball.
" You did a great job, it was not an easy job battling you." Ash said while shaking his opponent's hand.
" Thanks, and congratulations." responded his opponent.
" Will the winner of the Sinnoh league, Ash Ketchum, please step up and receive his trophy?"-boomed the man with the microphone.
" Alright yeah, I got the Sinnoh league trophy!"- shouted Ash in a jubilated tone as he posed for photographers.
Meanwhile, two of Ash's close friends ,Brock and Dawn, were very proud of Ash for winning the excruciatingly tough and tedious competition.
" Ash finally won a league competition. I'm glad that I'm here to see this."-Brock said in an excited tone. Brock had brown spiky hair and eyes that appear to be closed. He wore a green shirt with a black and orange vest, beige pants, and blue and white sneakers.
" Yeah, I wish I won my grand festival competition though. Oh well, he does have more experience than me."-said Dawn. She has blue straight hair and blue eyes. She wore pink sneakers, pink miniskirt, black shirt, and a white cap with a pink image of a pokeball on it.
After all the photos were taken and Ash received the trophy, Ash, Brock, and Dawn all headed back towards the pokemon center, a hospital for pokemon and shelter for pokemon trainers and coordinators, for a break. Brock proceeded to flirt with Nurse Joy only to be jabbed and then dragged away by the poisonous frog, croagunk. Dawn headed towards her room to begin packing her belongings and Ash headed to the video phones to give a call to her mother, Delia Ketchum.
" That trophy you're holding is beautiful, Ash. Congratulations, I'm so proud of you for being the winner. I knew that someday my son will come out on top."- greeted Delia with an ecstatic voice.
"Thanks mom, I will be home soon after I pack up."- responded Ash in an equally ecstatic voice.
" Great, there will be a surprise when you get home. Oh and by the way, I hope you are changing your…"
" Yes, I know, I am, okay. I'll talk to you when I get home, okay ?, bye."- interrupted Ash as he scrambled to end the conversation.
Just as the conversation ended, Ash heard laughter behind him trying to be stifled and then suddenly he heard the laughter unleashed uncontrollably. He turned around to see who was laughing.
" Aha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. So the champion of the Sinnoh league needs his mom to remind him to change his underwear?"- said Dawn who was almost red from laughing.
"No, I don't need her to remind me. She just brings it up whenever we talk."-responded Ash, with a sheepish smile. A few moments passed until Dawn finally settled down a bit.
" So where are you headed after you pack?"-questioned Dawn.
"I'm going back to Pallet town, soon."-responded Ash.
"Okay, I'm going to visit my mom and professor Rowan in Twinleaf town."
" Sounds like a plan."
"Yep. Oh and Brock said he will go visit his family and gym in Pewter city."
"Thanks, well see you later."
Ash headed towards his room in the pokemon center while unknowingly passing by Brock. Brock watched Ash pass by and then he revealed himself to Dawn.
" Does he have any idea of…"-Brock was saying until he was interrupted.
"No, fortunately he doesn't."-interrupted Dawn.
"Great"
Meanwhile, back at Ash's room, Ash is busy packing his belongings in his green back pack when he saw a sparkle in it. He picked up the sparkling object, a contest ribbon, given when the competitor wins a pokemon contest and five of these ribbons obtained in the same region allow entry into a large, phenomenal contest ,in the same region as the ribbons were obtained, with many talented contest coordinators. This large contest came to be known as the Grand Festival. The ribbon that Ash is holding right now, however, was cut in half as he received it under unusual circumstance. The other half of the ribbon is in possession of one of Ash's other friends who tied with him in the same contest shortly before they both split paths. Since the contest was a tie and Ash wanted to be fair, he had one of his pokemon cut the ribbon in half and he handed his friend one half of the ribbon. The ribbon halves eventually became personal treasures to their owners because they remind Ash and his friend of each other, even if they may be far apart.
" I hope she misses me as much as I missed her."- said a nostalgic Ash.
" Pikachu ( Don't worry Ash, I sure she must be thinking of you too.)"- comforted Ash. Ash made a small smile at pikachu's comforting words, even though he did not understand them.
Ha, ha, ha I'll leave you guys hanging until my winter break because the finals are coming up and I'll be busy. Hmm, for some reason I'm unable to indent my paragraphs.
I'm surprised no one I know so far has thought of a romantic relationship between Ash's infernape and May's blaziken. Any suggestions for the name of this new shipping?
Please review. Can anyone tell me the current Team Rocket motto ? It will be very helpful for me.
Oh yes, please check my bio when you're done. Thanks.
