Fate, Desteny or strange luck (Episode 5 of 8. Meeting an old friend)

The festival was officially over and the Aftershow party began.

At the rest of the evening nothing special happened. They ate, drank and had some fun till it was midnight. On the next morning, each one had some rings under his Eyes, even Zoran and Rosy. They came together in the dining room of the pokemoncenter and slowly ate their breakfast. Once they had finished, they all went back to their rooms to take a wakeup shower and once they were finished they all met in the main hall.

" Seems like all are here so let´s get moving. " Ash said and began to move.

" Hold on Ash. Did you know where to go?" Lucia said.

" Sure.... ÄHHHH..... UPS." Was Ash´s only answer.

Zoran and Rosy began to laugh lowly behind their Paws.

" OHHH.... You will never change Ash Ketchum. Broke, were we going?" Lucia asks.

" To a plateau not far from here. It´s only a three Days walk and on the way we could do some training. Besides, we don´t need to hurry because we still have a week before the tournament starts." Broke answered.

" Well then. Lead the way and we will follow Broke. "

And so they did and as always they got lost in the woods from time to time. Normally they had needed only three Days but they had now needed 6 to reach their destiny.

" I told you not to go the right way, but you only said trust me, I know the way. Now I have only one Day left to train. Thanks Broke." Ash said once they had reached the Arena.

" I don´t know what you want. We are here now. That´s the only thing that counts, right? Besides. You could have used our stops to train, but you didn´t do anything." Broke answered.

" Stop it. Both of you. I´m getting sick of this demanding." Lucia threw in. " Can we just go to the Center and wrote Ash in? My Feets are burning like hell."

" My Paws too." Rosy added.

" Do you want that I carry you my dear?" Zoran asks.

" Next time, maybe yes, but now I can see that your legs are burning too."

" HEHE.... You are right. I could really use a hot bath or only a soft place to recover myself."

" And what about training? I´m not so exhausted. Come on."

" NO. " Was the answer from them all and Ash had no other chance than to give in.

They all then went to the Center and for their luck they became two rooms. One for the Boys and one for Lucia. Zoran and Rosy also got lucky because they were allowed to stay in Lucias room and there they could sleep in a bed what they immediately did after they got into the room just like the others, including Ash.

On the next morning

Ash had woken up late as always and now he ran into the main hall where the rest was already waiting for him.

" You are late again. Did you ever will get up in time?" Lucia asks.

" Ask Broke. He wanted to wake me." Ash answered.

" I tried to wake you, but you slept like a rock even when I screamed into your Ear." Broke said loudly.

" Really? So that´s why my Ear is hurting me. No matter. Let´s go. I want to grill a few opponents to dust. "

And so he did. Over the hole Day he defeated one after one and he didn´t even lost a single round, plus he hasn´t needed the help of Rosy or Zoran. They both only sat on the sideline and watch him do his best. Then the preliminaries ended and Ash was the best of his Block. Then the evening came and the tournament was ended for the Day. They all went back to the Center and back into their rooms. Later on they all met in the dining room and talked about the next rounds that were coming.

" Ash. I hope you come prepared for the next rounds. " Broke said

" I am. Thanks. By the way. I think that I will going to need your help in the next rounds. " Ash said to Rosy and Zoran.

" You can count on us, but please don´t use a Pokeball on us. We both don´t like them." Zoran answered.

" No problem. I will call you just like Pikatchu but in return you will go to hear on my command. OK?"

Zoran looked at Rosy and she nodded. Then he looked onto Ash and said.

" OK."

Then they ate for the rest of the evening and had some fun. On the next morning they were all up in time. Even Ash was but only because he had not slept much the night. Now Ash, Rosy and Zoran were standing with the other trainers, that had survived the first rounds, in the main Arena and waited for the Firerunner to activate the holy flame but the runner didn´t showed up. They all started to wonder about what had happened to him but then all got clear because Ash saw Team Rockets Balloon.

" OH NO. Not again them. They surely have stolen it. Come, let us get them. " Ash said to Zoran and Rosy while he began to run.

" We are right behind you." Rosy answered.

A few minutes later they had managed to get close to the balloon and they could clearly see that Ash was right with the fire because James was holding it in his Hand.

" TEAM ROCKET! STOP!! GIVE THE FLAME BACK!!!" Ash shouted.

" These tiddlers again. Go home and let us in peace. It was a hard work to steal the flame and we will get some good money for it. " Jessy called back.

" Alright, you ask for it. Staraptor! Bring them down. Close Combat attack on the Balloon. " Ash shouted and throw the Ball.

Immediately, Staraptor came out and unleashed the attack. The balloon went down very fast and landed so hard on the ground that James losts the torch. The torch flow through the Air and before it hit the ground, Ash caught it. Meanwhile, Team Rocket came back to sin.

" OOHHH.... Did someone had seen the Number of the truck?" Jessie asks.

" Which Truck? I could swear that it was an aeroplane." James answered.

" Hey People. Get clear in your Head. We´ve lost the torch." Meowth said.

" WHAT? I thought James had it?" Jessie said, confused.

" I have lost it. Sorry Jess." James answered while he made a helpless face.

" OHHH YOU!!! Where is it? We have to..... OH OH!!! "

She had found Ash with the torch standing in front of them, but what had caught her attention more was what was standing in front of him. She could see Pikatchu, Zoran and Rosy readying their attacks and then Ash said with a big smile.

" OK, my Friends. Send them home."

Then they let their Attacks gone. Zoran and Rosy fired a flamethrower and Pikatchu fired a Thundershock. All three attacks combined and hit Team Rocket with perfect Aim. A big explosion came next and Team Rocket began to fly away like every time. Once they had gone, Ash and his Pokemon friends began to run back to the Stadium.

Meanwhile, in the Stadium

" Mr Goodshow, we have to tell them of what had happened!" Rocky said.

" Yeah. Seems so." The little man said.

Mr. Goodshow then walked to a microphone and began to speak.

" ÄHM.... Hi there trainers. I´m afraid to tell you that the torch has.... " He was cut by a scream.

" IS RIGHT HERE!!! "

Everyone now looked over to where the Voice had come from and they saw Ash, standing there with the torch in his hand and his Pokemon around him. Next he ran with the torch and under some applause to Mr. Goodshow. Once he had reached him Ash said.

" Sorry I´m a bit late Sir."

" Ha-ha. Yep, you are and you are also again the Saviour of a tournament. This is getting a bit traditional I think." Mr. Goodshow answered.

" Seems so. Here. The Fire is yours."

"No Ash. You will light it like always."

" Well.... Thanks sir. Hey friends where are..... OHHHH. "

Zoran and Rosy had already walked up the stairs and had sat themselves down on each side of the bowl where the fire was lit up. Now Ash took Pikatchu on his shoulder and walked slowly up the stairs and then turned himself around to face the others. Then he took the torch up in the Air and then lowered it into the bowl. Next the Fire began to burn and Zoran and Rosy fired a flamethrower into the Air. The rest of the celebration went on as planned and now was Ashs fight against a good trainer. It was already standing 3 to 3 and Ash had called out Pikatchu to fight. His enemy had chosen a Houndoom and the fight began.

" Houndoom. Flamethrower. " The trainer called.

" Pikatchu. Quick attack." Ash Countered.

Pikatchu then easily got out of the way of the Flamethrower and hit the Houndoom hard.

" Wow. That was fast. But I´m not that slow also. Houndoom, smoke attack. Fill the battlefield with it."

The field got pitch black with the smoke unleashed and in the middle of it was Pikatchu standing, breathing hard while coughing.

" Now Houndoom. Iron tail. And the match is over. "

Next was a scream heard from Pikatchu followed by a flying Body straight into a wall. It was Pikatchu. Once it landed, it tried to stand up, but then it sank down to the Earth and was knocked out. Once it was official that Pikatchu was out, Ash took it slowly into his arms and brought it to his bank. There he said.

" You fought well my friend. Now take your time and watch me win. "

Pikachu then smiled and nodded. Next Ash walked back to his trainer place while he thought I´m only having two Pokemon left but.... Can I win in this state?

Yes, you can. A voice said in his Head.

Just say it and we 2 will do all we can, to make it happen. Another Voice said.

" OK. I will say it. Rosy go out and show me what you can. "

Rosy then nodded and jumped into the middle. Ash then whispered into Zoran´s ear.

" Can you tell me what attacks, she can perform. "

Just listen to my Voice in your Head and you will win.

Next the referee said.

" GO. "

" Alright Houndoom. Smoke attack." The enemy trainer commanded, and Ash said

" Rosy. Confuse Ray!! "

The Houndoom was immediately caught and couldn´t make a move. Next Ash said

" Rosy. Iron tail. With all nine. "

Why with all nine? Ash asks in his Head.

Just look. Was the answer.

Then Ash saw why. All nine of Rosy´s tails began to glow white and then she rushed forward. Then she stopped right before the Houndoom and let all of her Nine Tails go straight into his face. With the last one, she let him go into the wall behind him and once he landed, the Houndoom was knocked out.

" Good fight, Hunny." Zoran said in Pokemon to her.

" Good leads, my dear. " She answered while she walked back to her side.

Once she was on her side the enemy trainer called his next Pokemon. A Feraligatr. Both Ash and Rosy let out a gulp as it was called out.

This is going to be a very hard fight. Zoran thought to himself and normally he had helped Rosy but now he had no other chance then watch the fight.

From the beginning of this fight, all went wrong. Nearly all of Rosy`s attacks hit, but hasn´t had an effect. The Feraligatr was far too strong and so Zoran had to watch Rosy lose. With every hit she became, Zoran felt something rise up inside of his Body. The feeling was even increased by the fact that everytime Ash tried to call Rosy back, the Felarigatr blocked her by using an attack or simply going into the way of the Pokeball Beam.

" STOP THIS!!! GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Ash shouted.

" NO. First she will get her finish and when she survives it, you can bring her back into her Ball. Felarigatr Hydro Pump!"

Hearing the enemy trainer saying this was nearly too much for Zoran. The feeling inside of his Body began to take control of him. He Bodyheat began to rise and in his head, he began to think of only one thing. Knock him out. Then came the moment as the Felarigatr unleashed the Hydro Pump. Deep inside his Head Zoran prayed that it would not hit Rosy but she was too weak to move aside and so she was fully hit by the attack. Her Body flow over the hole Arena, straight to a Big Stonewall. Before her Body it the wall, Zoran stopped her with his own Body. Once she lay on the ground, she managed to say some words before she was knocked out.

" Win this..... Battle..... For....... m......Me. "

At that moment, Zoran couldn´t hold it back any longer. He turned around. Threw a killing look over to Ash and said to him in his mind.

This one is mine and I will kill any other Pokemon that tries to stop me or tries to get him. GOT THAT!!!

Ash only nodded. He had never in mind to use another Pokemon. Besides, right at this moment he didn´t had another one than Zoran.

With every step Zoran did inside the ring, his heat level got higher and everyone inside the Arena noticed that by only looking at him. All around his Body was an Air flicker to be seen and when the referee called, out go, the hole Air around him was set on fire by him. He had lost his complete control over himself and was now only swimming in hate and rage.

" Well, well.... I have to cool him down when I wanted to win this. Felarigatr Hydro Pump. " The enemy trainer said and his Pokemon did it.

It fired a really strong Hydro Pump but for the surprise of all, it didn´t reach Zoran. Before the water came in his nearness, it had evaporated away only by the immense heat around Zoran.

" This cannot be. Felarigatr again Hydro Pump with all power you have. "

Again the Pokemon did it, but the result was the same. Then Zoran smiled and began to walk first. Then from one moment to another he disappeared.

" What? Where is he? He cannot use teleport or something like it for sure. But still he has....." The trainer stopped because right at that moment Zoran reappeared in front of the Felarigatr.

Still smiling, Zoran jumped up with his front legs and hammered one of them right under the chin of the Felarigatr. The hit lets the Felarigatr began to struggle and it made one step backwards. This was what Zoran had planned. He smiled more until he opened his mouth and let some flames gather there. Next he breathed in hard and then waited a few seconds to let the breath heat up inside of him. Then breathed out and began to send a Heat Wave. Thanks to the near, he hit the Felarigatr fully and really hard. Even as a water Pokemon, the Felarigatr was helpless against such a hard attack. Once the attack ended, the Felarigatr dropped down to the Earth and was knocked out. The enemy trainer was speechless. He had already thought that he had won this Game. Then he called the Felarigatr back and then he threw his last Ball but said nothing. The Ball open and released the Pokemon. Next everyone in the Arena got a shocked. The Pokemon he had chosen was an Eevee, but that was not a problem. The problem was that it was only 2 Years old or some age around it.

" Are you really sure that you wanted to let this young Pokemon fight?" The referee asks.

" I don´t have another one. So..... Y......Yes, I am..... "

" GIVE UP!!!!" A Voice shouted from somewhere.

".... I CANNOT. " The trainer answered and got a very loud BUUUU.

Then the referee said.

" Very well. Just do it quick them. "

Once the match had started, Nothing happened. The Eevee did nothing because it was only fearing the big mass of people and Zoran, who was standing right in front of him. Then it made a step forward, but then two backward because Zoran had made a move himself. He was now standing over the little Eevee, which had rolled himself into a heavy shaking ball. He lowered his head and said to the little Ball.

" Hey, come out. I will not hurt you. Do you want to play tag with me?"

Slowly it came out saying under some heavy sniffs.

" I....I.... Cannot move..... I´m making an idiot out of me just like me..... My Trainer."

" That´s nonsense. Here look."

Zoran took a little stone on his nose and then he got up with his front legs again. Eevee saw this and began slowly to smile. Zoran was so helplessly looking as he tried to stand on two legs while he tried to balance the stone on his Nose that nearly everyone in the Arena began to laugh. After a minute or two he stopped and got back on all fourths. Then he said into a happy Eevee face.

" See... Did you think that I´m an idiot now?"

" N...No. You are very funny. Let us then play tag or maybe hide and seek?"

" Tag would do fine for now so you better run before I come and get you. "

That it didn´t need to be told twice. Once Zoran had said it, the Eevee began to run and Zoran followed. His plan was to lure the Eevee over the sideline to end this Match or better said the joke. A minute later it happened. The Eevee ran over the line and stopped behind it because the referee said.

" Eevee has left the ring. So the winner is Ninetails and Ash."

" Did I do something wrong?" The Eevee asks Zoran.

" No. All is fine. Oh, besides.... TAG.... Now you are. " Zoran answered and walked away.

" WHAT? HEY UNFAIR!!! HAHAHA..... "

The Match was over and so was the second Day.

For around 10 minutes they both played until the trainer of the Eevee said.

"Come Eevee. It´s time to go home. Your mother is waiting with the food. "

" I will....Father."

" Father?" Ash and his friends asking at the same time letting Zoran, Rosy and the trainer laugh loud.

" Human´s can be so easily manipulated. Right my friend?" The trainer said to Zoran.

" You better stop hiding yourself Drake or at least no one will believe you. " Zoran answered.

The trainer and the Eevee began to glow and a second later, Drake was standing in the trainers place with his Son in his Arm. Ash and his friends were only standing there saying nothing. Next Zoran said.

" Nice fight back then, but...... Why an Eevee child Zoroar?"

" I wanted to test you. " Was Zoroars answer.

" Test? What do you want to test?"

" How much you wanted to win or better said, at which costs. "

" And? Did I pass?"

" You have passed. OHHH and I wanted to ask you something."

" Go on."

" Can I.... Play with you more games? I really liked it to play tag with you. "

" HMMMMM.... What do you think about this Hunny?" Zoran asks Rosy.

" HMMMMM.... I don´t know.... I don´t really like it to be tricked.... "

" PLEASE!" Zoroar said with a Tear in his Eye.

" Of course you can but only if your parents say yes. "

" Of course and I´m sure that my Wife says also yes. I see you later then. " Drake said, smiling and left with a more than happy Zoroar in his Arm.

The rest of the evening went on as normal. They all ate something in the Center and then spent the time doing their thing until the night falls. They all said Goodnight to each other and went to bed.
