A/N well guys I have yet another new story which was asked for by PokemonForever900 for the idea, which is another hybrid one as well only with a twist that he wanted me to do. Now, what is the twist you may ask well you shall see in the coming chapter now won't you. As for the region, this it's going be set in well that will be the Kalos region so for now everyone please enjoy the story. The reason is that it is currently the newest region that Ash is travelling through as Sun and Moon aren't out yet which means it'll be a while before Ash and Pikachu as well as the Team Rocket trio head for Alola.

I'd like to give my thanks for EmperorDraco7 for helping me in co-writing this story and for his aid with some of my other stories as well.

Chapter 1 Old and new friends

It was another day for Ash Ketchum and friends as they travelled through the Kalos region and little did they know was this day would be something that would change not just Ash's life but that of his friends and their Pokémon as well.

Right now Ash, Serena, Bonnie and Clemont were all having lunch with each other. "Man I wonder where we should head to next guys?" he asked as he looked at his friends with a grin on his face knowing that for now, they were relaxing without needing to worry about the remaining Gym right now.

The three native Kalos residents looked over to Ash and smiled at him. "Well, I hear that there is a fair not too far from here," Clemont said with a smile looking over the map.

"Oh, I've heard of those trainers from other regions come here as well," Serena said as she smiled and looked over at Ash. "My mom took me there when I was eight they have rides and so much more as well even a place so trainers can battle each other too."

"Cool, let's get going then," Ash said as he jumped to his feet and looked at Pikachu and smiled.

"What do you think Pikachu?" he asked his friend.

'I think that it would be good for us to go there.' Pikachu said with a smile of his own wanting to go on a few of the ride that would be there.

With that in mind, the group seen headed off to the fair that was going on, which didn't take all that long to reach the four were all amazed at just how big it was. "It's bigger than I remember," Serena said with a smile on her face as she looked at her friends yet. "I can even smell the food from up on the hill."

Ash, on the other hand, was already running towards the fair with a smile on his face as the others just looked at him and couldn't help but either laugh or give a sigh at this, but this was just who Ash was after all.

"Well, we better go and join him haven't we?" Serena asked as she looked at Bonnie and Clemont with a smile on her face, and like with Ash she too ran down the hill to go and join him while calling out his name as well.

Once they had all reached the fair, the group all smiled at the rides that they were seeing while Ash being who he was could still smell the food and was getting hungry. "Well, I'm going to go and get something to eat."

With that said Ash walked off while Bonnie took hold of Clemont's hand so that she could go on one of the many rides that they had for her to go on. Which left Serena on her own for now till they got back from what they were doing, but she also knew that it might be some time as well so she decided to go and look around the fair.

Serena smiled to herself as she looked around maybe she would see some of her friends here as well, after all this was a prominent place and very well known as well. As she looked around, she spotted one of the attractions that she remembered as a little girl when her mother brought her here. 'The amazing water show' the sign said as Serena know what this show was about it showed the skills and grace of a Water-type Pokémon. "I just wish I had one."

With that in mind, Serena walked on to see the show and to watch the Water Pokémon, some of which the girl knew she would have never seen before, but that is what she wanted as she might see ones that she may want to one day capture in the wild.

Walking through Serena saw many different kinds of Water Pokémon many that she had never seen before, each one doing fantastic things before her eyes. "Oh wow, aren't you a cutie!" A voice called out as Serena looked back to see a girl her age with orange hair which was tied up in a side ponytail.

The girl was looking at one of the native Water Pokémon that lived in Kalos, namely Froakie which caused Serena to smile at the girl and moved over to her. "Hi guess you most really love Water Pokémon don't you?"

The girl just nodded as she smiled at Serena. "Oh you bet I do," She said with a grin on her face as she looked over to Serena. "My names Misty and I used to run the Cerulean gym back in Kanto," Misty said with a smile on her face.

With a smile of her own Serena introduced herself to Misty. "Hi I'm Serena it's good to meet you Misty."

Both girls just smiled as they soon began to talk to each other on Pokémon and for Serena, she had Misty what it was like being a Gym leader from Kanto. While Serena told Misty all about the Kalos region such as the many water types, she would find as she knew that Misty hadn't been here all that long from what Misty had said to her.

"I wonder if Ash wouldn't mind having another girl with us." Serena thought after all while talking to Bonnie was nice she was six after all, and she had no girls her age to talk to at times. "You know I do travel with some friends were going to meet up a little later maybe you can join us and see more of Kalos, what do you say Misty?"

Misty, on the other hand, was thinking about while it would be good to see more of Kalos she didn't want to impose on Serena and her friends. "Are you sure Serena I mean it would be good as trust me I know what it's like to be the only girl in a group."

However, all Serena did was smile even more and nodded at Misty taking hold of her hand. "Misty I'm sure of it just to warn you my friend Clemont he has a little sister, and well…" she said as she began to lightly laugh knowing what Bonnie may do if she saw Misty.

Misty just looked on confused at what Serena was talking about as she looked at the honey blonde girl. "What what does she do, I mean it can't be that bad right?"

"Well, it's something you will have to see for yourself," Serena told her knowing that Misty would laugh or be a little worried about being asked to look or marry her brother. Still, Serena thought it was funny what Bonnie did.

Misty nodded at this but she had seen Brock when he saw a girl, once too many for her to even count, but they were all still good times, her mind did shift to Ash as Misty wondered how he was doing right now.

With that in mind, Serena took misty to go and find her friends after all they did pick a place to all meet up once they were finished, but she knew Ash would take a while to get back to them. "Oh well just gives me more time to get to know Misty here and tell her all the adventures we have had here in Kalos with Ash."

Ash, on the other hand, was already eating a massive burger with cheese while Pikachu was sitting down next to him eating some ketchup with both having smiles on their faces. "I don't believe this," A voice called out to him, as Ash looked up and was shocked to see May and Dawn.

"May, Dawn!" Ash said with shock in his voice as he looked at the two girls he has travelled with, but was still happy to see them both again after such a long time. "It's good to see you both again," Ash said with a smile.

Both girls nodded as they too were happy to see Ash. "Yeah, same here Ash," May said as she gave a smile at Ash while Dawn giggled.

"So I take it that you're here for the same reason then?" Ash asked his two former travelling friends hoping that they were enjoying their time here in Kalos.

Both girls nodded as they knew what Ash was talking about and they wondered if Ash knew a few of their other friends were here as well. "Well if you mean the fair then you would be right Ash I mean it is well known after all."

"May's right and we came here not just the two of us but a few others as well," Dawn said as both she and May sat down next to Ash.

"Oh, who else came with ya then?" Ash asked has he begun to eat the rest of his burger as he wondered who else was here as well. "Do you think that Misty could be here as well?" he asked again hoping to see her again.

This sure didn't go unnoticed by May and Dawn who smiled at this knowing that Ash missed Misty as he had a hard time seeing her. "Well, we don't know for sure Ash there is a place to watch water Pokémon, so if she was here, I know that is where she would be."

Ash and Pikachu nodded at this knowing that the Water Pokémon ash had seen in Kalos was something that Misty would have loved to see. "It's just a shame that she stuck at the Cerulean gym I mean she can't travel with us like we do after all."

Both May and Dawn nodded as they knew what Ash was talking about Misty the red-headed girl. "I wish that I could have met her," Dawn said with a smile as she never got a chance to see Misty.

May, just gave a smile as she has met Misty and always called her when she could. "Well, I will tell you this Dawn she has a lot of spunk in her that is for sure, first time I saw her use that spunk was when she pulled Brock by the ear."

Dawn couldn't help but laugh at this and then looked over to ash who along with Pikachu was now also laughing. "Wow its true, and here I thought Croagunk was the only one to do that?"

"Nope not at all Dawn," Ash said as he soon stopped laughing and looked at May. "It not just Misty or Croagunk either. But May's little brother Max did this as well." Ash said with a smile on his face as he remembered all the time it happened to Brock.

"I feel sorry for him I mean he never got a break did he," Dawn said with a smile as all three just laughed at this and smiled at the found times that they had.

"So Ash it's been a while since we seen you in a battle so why don't you show us how good you've gotten since we've last seen you," May said with a grin on her face.

"Oh, you know me May I'm always up for a challenge and a good battle." He said and jumped to his feet and was about to head off until he looked back at the two girls and gave a weak smile at the two and gave a grin. "It's just, do you know where they have the battles here."

The two girls along with Pikachu couldn't help but look at Ash and give a sigh, but this was still Ash after all, and they didn't mind at all. "Well, I think that it's best that you follow Dawn and me then Ash," May said as she gave a grin to him.

With that now in mind, the three headed towards the battle arena that trainers used to battle each other, and already May and Dawn could tell that Ash wanted to battle one of the trainers that were here. "Hey, do you want a battle?" A voice asked from behind the three as Ash, May and Dawn looked to see who it was.

The trainer in question was wearing a red fedora with a horizontal black stripe, a red shirt with a picture of a Bulbasaur's head on it, blue shorts and brown boots, and has Super Mario style hair. "Hi, my names Zack it's good to meet ya." He said with a smile on his face and looked at the three. "I hear that you want a battle?"

Ash just gave a grin at this and nodded his head all the while knowing this should be an exciting battle. "Okay, then Zack, how many Pokémon should we use."

"Well, we could have a two on two Pokémon battle if you like?" Zack asked Ash with a grin already grabbing one of the Pokéballs.

Ash only nodded at this as they both headed to the battle arena and smiled at each other. "Okay you ready, Pikachu?" he asked as he looked at his buddy.

'Oh you know I'm ready.' Pikachu said giving a smile to Ash sparks already sparking from his red cheeks.

Zack gave a smile as well as he picked up one of his Pokéballs, and looked at his Pokémon with a smile before throwing the Pokéball into the air. "Alright now go Swampert!"

"Okay then, Pikachu I know that you can do this buddy," Ash said as he gave a smile while Pikachu nodded at this and smiled once more although he has to be careful because Swampert might know Earthquake and Pikachu's Electric-Type attacks won't have any effect on the Hoenn-born Pokémon.

"Come on Ash show us what you got!" May cried out with a smile on her face, after all, she wanted to see how good Ash has gotten since the last time that she had seen him, and she knew that Dawn wanted to know as well.

The two trainers just got ready to battle the other after all for Ash, May and Dawn knew the latter had yet to Ash battle a Swampert while the former had already witnessed Ash having fought Morrison's Swampert back at the Hoenn League and Tucker's from the Battle Frontier, so this should be something new. "Are you sure that using Pikachu is a wise decision?" asked Zack with a hint of curiosity. "You should know that while he's normally useful against Water-Types, my Swampert is part Ground-Type which makes his usefulness null and void."

"I know that, but that doesn't mean he's completely useless against your Swampert" answered Ash with a confident expression on his face as he wants to show that type advantages weren't always everything plus he wanted to save Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha or Noivern for when he finds out what other Pokémon Zack has on his team. "Alright then Pikachu, use Agility and Quick Attack!"

Pikachu grinned as he used his combination to increase the priority of his Quick Attack and struck Swampert before the Water/Ground-Type could even react. "It's been a while since I've seen Pikachu use Agility," commented May with a slight smile forming on her face; having a feeling Ash has indeed improved a lot since the Sinnoh journey.

"I'll say," added Dawn, smiling brightly as well because she saw how much stronger Ash and Pikachu had become at Unova, plus she never seen Pikachu using Agility before unlike May and Misty before her. "I just wish Iris was there to see this."

"Who is Iris?"

"She's a girl, who specialises in Dragon-Types but has Excadrill and Emolga on her team along with an Axew and a Dragonite, and she travelled with Ash and a green-haired Pokémon Connoisseur named Cilan in Unova. I only met them before the four of us participating in the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup but believe me Iris was pretty powerful especially with that Dragonite of hers," responded Dawn, remembering when she and Mamoswine lost against Iris and Dragonite at the Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup in Unova. "Ash had a hard time against her and her Dragonite until his Krokorok evolved into Krookodile which allowed him to defeat her in the Semi-Finals."

"Okay, that's unexpected but thanks for letting me know…" May replied, a bit disappointed that Brock wasn't with Ash at Unova or in Kalos as she wondered what happened to the former Pewter City Gym Leader. "I wonder where Brock is since I haven't seen him at all after parting ways with him and Ash at Sinnoh."

"No idea, because he and I parted ways with Ash after the Sinnoh League, though Ash did his best… it wasn't enough to defeat Tobias and his two Legendary Pokémon at the Semi-Finals" added Dawn with a small frown, thinking back to when Ash's defeat against the mysterious trainer with the Darkrai and Latios, the same mysterious trainer that would move on to win the entire Sinnoh League afterwards. "Brock decided to study in trying to become a Pokémon Doctor by the way."

May remained silent, especially as she couldn't believe that not only did Brock give up on his previous dream of becoming a Pokémon Breeder to study instead to become a Pokémon Doctor after the Sinnoh League but also the fact Ash was beaten by an opponent who defeated him with just two Legendary Pokémon. "I see…." she spoke, unsure of what else to say right now. "Now that I think of it, I didn't know using Legendary Pokémon at a Pokémon League was even allowed."

"Me neither, but hey, at least we learn something new every day."

"Tell me about it, then again Nolan of the Battle Frontier used an Articuno against Ash in his first battle in the Battle Frontier," she told Dawn, which made the bluenette remember that Pyramid King Brandon had the three Regis in his possession. "Not just that but Brandon of the Battle Frontier also used all three Regis against Ash in his final battle at the Frontier."

"Wait you know Brandon?" wondered Dawn, somewhat shocked that May too had met Brandon much like Ash, Brock and even Paul did before the meeting with the Pyramid King at the Sinnoh region which the brown-haired girl from Hoenn slowly nodded his head. "Also you mean four Regis, though I can't blame you because there is a fourth Regi you never knew about the one that is known as Regigigas, the King of the Golems."

"Okay… that I never realised…" said May as her eyes blinked out of surprise when she learned of the fourth Regi aka Regigigas and wondered how strong it was compared to its three subjects. Regirock, Regice and Registeel, because she saw they were powerful against Ash's team at the Battle Pyramid in Kanto much like Nolan's Articuno, was the same case at the Battle Factory. "Makes me wish I never left his side after the final contest I had with him."

"Well, no shock there May I mean you like Ash after all am I right?" Dawn asked as she looked at May with a smile on her face.

May however just blushed at this and looked at what which only showed Dawn that she was right, May liked Ash more than a friend. "I have no idea what you're talking about Dawn."

Dawn couldn't help but giggle at this see the way May was trying her best not to even look at Dawn and now Ash, but Dawn could still see her face was red. "I don't understand why May doesn't just tell him."

May, however, was still blushing but looked back to see what Ash how Ash was doing in his battle. "I can't believe Dawn was putting me on the spot like that." May thought, but she wouldn't mind if Ash were her boyfriend.

Her thoughts also turned to Misty as she knew that Misty liked Ash as well and she didn't want to do that to her friend, as she knew that it would be wrong as well. "I just wish there was a way all three of us could be happy together." May thought heck who know just how many other girls liked Ash which shocked them.

Zack meanwhile looked at Ash and how good his Pikachu was and knew that he would need to think of something. "I have to say your Pikachu sure is fast Ash, but I'm not even close to being done yet," he said, his attention turned towards his Swampert. "Use your Mud Shot attack!"

"Oh crap…" muttered Ash, mentally cursing as knew Mud Shot was a Ground-Type attack and immediately began planning his counter-attack, knowing that aside from Quick Attack there's one other move that can hurt Swampert. "Dodge it and use Iron Tail!"

Pikachu quickly evaded the Mud Shot thanks to the increase in his speed from his Agility attack and then got ready to use Iron Tail. "Swampert, counter it with Power-Up Punch!" ordered Zack as Swampert tightened his fist and delivered a powerful punch at Pikachu, both attacks made contact which resulted in an explosion that tossed them back a bit.

"What in the world was that?!" exclaimed May in shock, even Dawn couldn't believe what she was seeing as she never and even more so as Swampert grinned despite the attacks pushing each other back, feeling himself becoming much more powerful than ever.

"I have no idea, also what's up with Swampert?" asked Dawn as she saw that Swampert was glowing in a bright red aura which was a sign that it wasn't the Torrent ability because the Water/Ground-Type wasn't low on HP at all. "It isn't that badly hurt from Iron Tail, and yet there's this aura forming around its body."

"That's because of Power-Up Punch's secondary effect," explained Zack with a grin forming on his face, the two girls not knowing what Power-Up Punch was due to not being native to the Kalos Region couldn't be helped. "When used, the user becomes much more powerful since it boosts their physical attack stats."

"Great…."

Zack shrugged when May muttered that remark and then turned his attention towards Swampert, wanting to make the next move as soon as possible. "Alright then, Swampert use your Earthquake attack!" he ordered, with Swampert stomping his two front feet hard on the ground to form an earthquake throughout the entire arena.

Once this started Ash and Pikachu were both shocked by this as the felt the ground shack and soon Pikachu saw Swampert's Earthquake in action. "Oh no Pikachu hurry and dodge it as fast as you can!" he cried out worried for his friend.

Pikachu nodded as he as he used his speed to make sure that he avoided the attack from Swampert which the water type Pokémon was a little shocked by this. 'You see I told ya I'm not going to go down so easy Pikachu want to have another shot at it cause I'm all game.'

Swampert only smiled back knowing that this was going to be good as he was going to make sure he didn't go down either. 'Well, the same goes for me.'

"Okay, the Swampert use Water Gun on Pikachu!" Zack called out, as Swampert nodded firing a powerful burst of water from his mouth and over at Pikachu.

Ash gave a grin as well knowing that this was not going to stop him and he was not going to lose this battle either. "Pikachu quickly dodge it and use thunderbolt."

With a node, Pikachu quickly jumped in the air and just making it away from the Water Gun and fired a powerful Thunderbolt down onto Swampert.

Both May and Dawn were impressed by this, and they could tell that just from seeing this that Pikachu was a lot stronger than the last time that had been with Ash. "Makes me wonder what new attacks Pikachu has now," May said as she looked at Ash and then over to Pikachu.

Dawn nodded, as her eyes fixed on the battle that she was watching right now. "Yeah but that is Ash for you, he never gives up."

Zack just smiled at this as he looked at Pikachu and then over to Ash. "I have to say Ash that is one powerful Pikachu that you have there."

"Well, Zack my buddy Pikachu and I have been through a lot together," Ash said with a simple smile on his face as he looked at Pikachu who was also smiling.

"Good to hear but my Swampert here is powerful after all I've heard how powerful Misty Waterflower is with her water Pokémon. Heck, I've seen a few of the shows that she has done with her sisters," Zack said with a smile, while Ash was shocked by this but still smiled remembering his first friend that travelled with him long ago.

Serena and Misty meanwhile were still hanging out with each other as Serena was shocked that Misty once did a play in a mermaid outfit, and all thanks to her sisters as well. "Wow, I bet that must have been embarrassing for you then?"

With a sigh, Misty just nodded at her new friend. "Oh you have no idea how right you are on that Serena, worse my friends were with me at the time as well."

Serena just laughed a little at hearing just how she was dragged into the play in the first place and knew that it must be hard being a younger sibling as she was an only child. "Well makes me happy I have no older sibling then trying to get me to do things like that for them."

"Well, I know that they love me, and I love them, but man sometimes they can be a pain," Misty said as she hangs her head low.

All Serena did while hearing this was smile at Misty as she was going to say something to the girl she was with knowing Misty was a gym leader. "I wonder if Ash challenged her to a gym battle I mean she is from Kanto after all." Serena thought, but an explosion stopped her thoughts as she and Misty looked in the direction that the explosion had come from and had a frown on her face.

"Well it sounds like a battle is going on, so how about we go and see what's going on, who knows they could be using some cool Water Pokémon," Misty said as she was soon smiling at the thought.

"Sire thing then after that we can maybe show each other what Pokémon we have," Serena began with a smile knowing while she had few Pokémon on her she knew that Misty being a Gym leader would have a lot, ones that she may have never seen before. "I mean I've been to Kanto only once, and that was when I was a little girl attending Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp."

Misty smiled at this after all she loved all the Water Pokémon there and in the other regions as well. "Sure thing Serena, you'll like them, I don't have all of them with me but can show you the most beautiful and elegant Pokémon I…"

However she was cut off when one of her Pokéballs soon opened up, and a yellow duck was now standing right next to Misty, this just shocked Serena as to why this even happened after all she was sure that Misty didn't call the Pokémon out. Plus they weren't even in a battle all she could do was watch as the yellow duck placed his hands on his head and looked at Misty and then her.

"Crap… I didn't want you to come out…" she muttered, starting to get ticked off whenever he would do what he just did while Serena became slightly confused at what she was looking at and knew this happened a lot for Misty.

"I didn't think that a Pokémon could come out of their Pokéball on their own… at least other than the blue one the three from Team Rocket had." Serena said as she looked at Misty and laughed a little as Misty called Psyduck back to his Pokéball.

"Wait, Team Rocket?!" asked Misty in shock upon hearing Serena mention the Team Rocket trio that was constantly following Ash and Pikachu ever since their second day travelling together after Ash started out as a trainer. "You've seen them as well?"

"Yeah…" answered Serena, remembering that the female member Jessie had a blue coloured Pokémon that often came out of his Pokéball and recalled him having the name Wobbuffet which usually appeared whenever the three Team Rocket members said their signature motto. "You know those three?"

"I wish I could forget them, especially as Ash and I encountered them for the first time at the Viridian City Pokémon Center after Ash destroyed my bike when he stole it to save his Pikachu from a flock of wild Spearow's that chased him at Route 1," she explained to Serena. Shocking the other girl over the fact that Misty had a bike and Ash destroyed it when they first met. "Since then, those three have been a real pain in the butt to deal with every time during our travels in Kanto, the Orange Islands, Johto and Hoenn as well."

"I see…" frowned Serena, having never realised that the Team Rocket trio had caused a lot more trouble than she originally thought if they followed Ash to all those regions before Kalos. "Also I'm sorry to hear about what happened to your bike, did Ash make it up to you for what happened?" Serena asked as she looked at the girl that she had been talking to and was shocked that she knew Ash too and how they had met each other.

"Well kind of, my bike was eventually repaired by the time Ash, Brock and I returned from Johto after the Johto League Silver Conference," Misty replied with sadness. She still didn't like the day that she, Ash and Brock went their separate ways following not only the Johto League but also having to deal with not just the Rocket trio but also three brothers who called themselves the Invincible Pokémon Brothers at the same time. "Aside from those three, there are other members of Team Rocket."

"You're kidding!" exclaimed Serena, shocked to learn there are others within Team Rocket aside from the trio and Misty frowned as she shook her head. "Just when you thought those three weren't already enough of a pain to deal with every time we go somewhere…"

"You'll get used to it, I mean there are more lethal members like the Black Tulip, the Iron-Masked Marauder and even Tyson to name a few along with their leader," commented Misty, cringing at the encounters with other Team Rocket members. The majority of them being encountered in Johto while Butch and Cassidy were in Kanto, the Orange Islands and Johto. "Those guys make the three members we've constantly encountered look like saints."

Serena remained silent, while she had Braxien, Pancham and Sylveon on her team, she wasn't sure that they would be strong enough to handle the more deadly members of Team Rocket after having learned of them from Misty."Thanks for the warning…" she muttered to Misty, becoming concerned though thought about something to lighten the mood a bit. "I met Ash during my time at the Pokémon Summer Camp when I was little."

"Oh?" asked Misty, surprised to hear that Ash met this girl before he even became a Pokémon Trainer and had a good mind to confront Ash when she sees him over why he never told her, Tracey, May, Max or Brock about Serena at all. "Do tell."

The Kalos-born girl started to close her eyes as she explained to Misty about the eventful day she and Ash first met during their childhood, how Serena had injured her knee when she got frightened by a Poliwag that startled her. How Ash had been following that same Poliwag and ended up tending to her injured knee with a blue handkerchief, he had with him. "Even though my knee still hurt, he told me 'Don't give up till it's over' and he helped me back onto my feet," she concluded, revealing the handkerchief she still had in her possession.

"Wow, that's pretty cool…" began Misty, unsure of what to say since Ash should've told her, Brock, Tracey, Max and May this beforehand even when travelling together. Sure Tracey only travelled with her and Ash through the Orange Islands until he chose to stay at Pallet Town as Professor Oak's assistant and Brock rejoined them when they decided to head for Johto then again she knew that this was Ash after all. "As for how Ash and I met, I fished him and Pikachu out of the lake on the day he first became a Pokémon Trainer."

Hearing this made Serena somewhat surprised, never had she heard of anything like that before during her travels with him, Clemont and Bonnie throughout Kalos. "I wonder how he ended up in the lake you reeled him out of anyway?" she asked, a notion that confused her and made her want answers from Ash later.

Misty gave a deep sigh at this knowing what he had done or a feeling at what he had done. "Beats me, though it may have had something to do with those Spearow's he ticked off beforehand since Pikachu was critically injured."

Serena didn't say a word, Ash had been bound to make some mistakes throughout his journey at times but never had one mistake nearly gotten Pikachu killed. "I only saw that flock twice, and the first time was when Ash started his journey with Pikachu… the second time was when Professor Oak asked him, Brock and I to get the GS Ball from Professor Ivy of Valencia Island," Misty continued, referring to the day Ash left his Pidgeot at Route 1 to protect the Pidgey's and Pidgeotto's from the Spearow's and Fearow that harassed them following the Indigo League. "During the latter, his Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot against a powerful Fearow, and afterwards, Ash left her to look after the wild Pidgey's and Pidgeotto's."

"I see… it seems he left out a lot of the details of his travels to me, Clemont and Bonnie huh?" she muttered to the Tomboyish Mermaid. Already feeling a bit hurt over the fact Ash neglected to tell her or the others of the travels he had in Kanto, the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, the Kanto Battle Frontier, Sinnoh, Unova or the Decolore Islands. "Then again, I'm suspecting he might have had his reasons for doing so."

"Either that or he is side-tracked with other things, I mean this is Ash we are talking about," Misty gave a small shrug as it seemed that some things about Ash would never change at all. "Now that I think of it, I completely forgot about the GS Ball myself so looks who's talking?" Misty said as she laughed a little at this.

"Where is this GS Ball anyway?" wondered Serena, curious about the current status on the GS Ball that Ash, Brock and Misty had retrieved from Professor Ivy, suspecting that it's now getting studied somewhere. "Does Professor Oak have it?"

"He did, but after realising he can't figure anything out, he asked for Ash to give it to Kurt at Azalea Town before we left Pallet Town for Johto," said Misty with a slight frown. There were certain things even Oak himself couldn't figure out which led her to believe that more mysteries are out there within the world of Pokémon. "Since then, we've never gotten the chance to contact Kurt to find out the progress made on it."

Serena nodded at this as she looked at Misty, as both girls continued to walk to where the battle was taking place. "So Misty…" Serena began as she looked at the girl that had once travelled with Ash.

Misty, on the other hand, looked over to Serena wondering what the girl wanted to say and could already see that something most likely embraced Serena. "What is it, Serena?" Misty asked as she looked at the girl standing next to her.

"Well the thing is Misty I was wondering are you and Ash…," Serena said but stopped herself, and it was here that Misty knew what she was trying to say.

"I take it you want to know if Ash and I are dating," Misty asked as she looked at Serena and saw the girl nod her head, which made Misty sigh knowing the look that Serena had on her. "Well no we're not dating, but I do care for him a lot, and I know that another friend May likes him the same way as well that we both do."

Serena was shocked by this, and she was now not sure what to do, but giving the many, many regions that Misty said Ash had been too Serena was not that shocked that Ash would have seen girls and that they also would like him the way that she did. "So what do I do then?"

"Well, that is something that I'm not sure on after all Ash does have a one track mind he even dressed up as a girl to get into a gym after all," Misty said as she started to laugh remembering the time he had to become Ashley.

"Oh, I wish I could have seen that," Serena said as she began to laugh at this and was even shocked to hear that this was not the first nor last time he had done that either.

Before the two knew it, they had arrived at the battle as Misty gave a smile already seeing that May was here with who she knew to be Dawn even if she had never seen her before as May had told her of her.

With that in mind Misty just looked at Serena as both could also see that Ash was there as well and in a battle as well. "Well, how about we go and see how Ash is doing?" Misty said and gave another smile to Serena.

Serena gave a smile as she nodded and both ran over to saw Ash in a battle. "Misty oh it's so good to see you!" May cried out as she hugged her good female friend and looked over to the girl that was standing next to her.

Misty only smiled as she looked over and saw Dawn and smiled at the girl that May had told her about when she meets up with her. "And you must be Dawn it so good to meet you I'm Misty."

"Same here Ash told me about you he even showed me the lure that you made him, he didn't want me to use it," Dawn said as she gave a grin while Misty just blushed at this knowing the one that Dawn was talking about all too well. "You know I think that he keeps it close on him as well."

"Can we just watch Ash battle please," Misty said with a blush on her face as she didn't like where this was going as she got enough of this from her sisters before she left her, and she sure didn't need to hear it from her friends right now.

"Okay but like May I think that you both need to talk to Ash about it," Dawn said with a grin on her face as she turned her attention back to Ash and the battle that he was having with Zack at that very moment.

With a smile from Ash, who had yet to know that Misty and Serena were also watching him gave a smile as he looked at Pikachu. "Alright, Pikachu use Volt Tackle!"

Pikachu hearing this nodded as he quickly charged towards Zack Swampert as those who had not see this attack before were shocked at it as the saw Pikachu dash towards the water Pokémon who was standing its ground.

Once Pikachu reached Swampert as it caused an explosion, which also meant a dust cloud went over the two Pokémon making it hard for anyone to see what was going on and which Pokémon was still standing as well.

A/N well, I will be calling it for the first chapter, so I hope that you all liked it as this is another Pokémon TF story but it's not like the other one, but you will see that in the next chapter what I mean.
