"It's time for your Battle Ash.." Max muttered to me, i nodded at him "Who are you going to use?" Gary asked "Charizard and Eevee" I answered "I will beat him with charizard" i said confidently "we'll be cheering you on here, Serena and Angela too" Brock said, i chuckled and nodded "On the Blue side we have Richie(or Ritchie) Hiroshi!" the Host called, the crowd cheered "and on the Red side we have Red Satoshi!" The Host called again, making the crowd cheer again "This is a,  2 vs 2 Battle! last Pokemon standing Wins! please send out your first Pokemon!" the referee called, i breathed in heavily "Eevee I choose you" I called "Happy come on out!" He called (Happy is a Butterfree if you didn't know) "Battle Begin!" the referee called "Eevee use Iron tail!" I ordered "Eev!" She said and used aura to sense Where Happy was, "Happy use Sleep powder!" Richie said as Happy did his best to Avoid Eevee's Iron tail, though he was hit, Happy still spread his sleeping powder, Eevee was getting really sleepy, she was starting to get drowsy "Eevee!" I said starting to panic, but then i remembered something i did to avoid this "Eevee use Shadow Ball on yourself!" i said, 'this was something i did when i battled Viola when i first came to Kalos' i thought, i felt Bonnie's, Clemont's and Even Serena's eyes widen as Eevee hit herself with shadow ball 'They have only ever seen that move done by me, i hope they don't suspect something' i thought "Happy use whirlwind!" Richie said "Eevee Dodge!" the arena was covered with dust because of Eevee's shadow ball but it cleared up because of Happy's Whirlwind, though as it cleared up Eevee was not on the field, Happy looked around confusedly "Now Eevee Iron tail!" I said "Eevee!" she called out as She attacked Happy with Iron tail from Above, Happy was smashed to the Field as it then became unconscious "Happy is Unable to Battle! Blue side please send out your next Pokemon!" the referee called, the crowd went wild "Happy Return, take a good rest" Richie said "Eevee Return you must be tired" I said and recalled Eevee "Charizard lets go" I called out, as Charizard appeared he roared loudly "Sparky i choose you!" Richie called 'Sparky.. you look the same as i last saw you' i thought "Sparky use Iron tail!" Richie called "Fly up Charizard!" i called out, Charizard flew up high in the sky, "Slam!" I called out to Charizard "Dodge it Sparky!" He called out,Sparky ran around the arena trying his best to avoid Charizard, but Sparky was soon hit by Slam, shockingly it was still able stand after that attack "We're not Gonna lose! sparky use thunderbolt!" He said "Charizard dodge i-" i was cut off by charizard being hit by Sparky's thunderbolt "Sparky now use quick attack!" Richie called, i quickly called out "Charizard Dragon tail!" Sparky and Charizard raced to each other and hit each other with their attacks, the field was filled with smoke, and as it cleared up Charizard was seen to be the only one standing "Sparky is Unable to Battle! The winner is Red Satoshi!" the crowd went wild, we sent back our Pokemon to their poke balls and Met at the middle of the field, he stared into my eyes as we shook hands, i quickly walked away to make sure i avoid him figuring it out, but alas, i was stopped by hearing Richie's Voice through the Referee's Mic "That was a great Battle Ash Ketchum, 7 years must've given you enough time to get stronger" He said, i then stopped in my tracks, the crowd went quiet, i looked ahead and saw Gary, Brock, Max, Paul and Trip's shocked faces, i sighed and faced Richie "I won this time Richie" I told him, with that the crowd started to mutter amongst themselves, he chuckled "You sure did" He said as he walked over to me and Handed me the Mic "Anything you want to say Ketchum?" He asked, i sighed, i signed Brock, Gary and Max to the Field, they walked over to me and i looked at the crowd, i caught myself staring into Serena's eyes "If you all didn't know, Ash ketchum has been gone for 7 years, not only him but Brock Hiroshi, Max Maple and even Gary Oak went missing with him, Ash Ketchum was Betrayed by his old travel companions and even his mother, well guess what" i said, the crowd started to get noisy "I'm Ash ketchum and my friends Brock, Max and Gary,  are Back, to Prove those who betrayed me wrong" I said as i looked at the traitors group, i saw Misty's tears, and the other's guilty expressions "So please, Watch us Win this tournament" i said as the crowd started to cheer loudly, i looked over to Richie "Good Battle Richie, let's battle again some time" I said and we shook hands again, this time we left the Field completely, i walked out with Brock, Max and Gary, i heard running footsteps somewhere by the stairs that lead into the benches, there we saw Serena, Misty, May and Sceptile with Angela, Misty ran to Gary and cried in his chest, I looked at Serena and she cautiously walked over to me, as she stood in front of me i gently stepped closer and hugged her, she hugged me back and Cried loudly, May walked over to Max and Hugged him tightly "I'm Sorry!" May Cried "I shouldn't be the one you should be apologizing to May.." Max said, May hugged him tighter "You can hear me right ash..?" May asked, "Mhm.." I answered as i stroked Serena's hair "I.. I'm really sorry.. I'm really really sorry.." May apologized as she cried more "It's.. okay May.." I said, Sceptile walked over to me, Angela looked at me closely "Mr. Red.. is.. my brother..?" she asked, i gently nodded to her, she was calm at first but then she started to cry loudly, i took her in my arms, i held her close to me with one arm and held Serena close with my other "Gary, Ash, Brock! You Jerks! I thought you were gone for good!" Misty Cried "You could've went with us Misty" Brock said as Misty Pulled away wiping her tears, gently hugging Brock too, but she went to Me after, she stood in front of me, she looked down sadly "I'm so-" "I forgive you" I said, cutting her off, she was shocked with this and looked up at me quickly "wha- what?" She asked confused "you already apologized to me didn't you?" I asked her with a soft smile, her shocked expression relaxed as she smiled softly and gently fixed my hat making sure not to disturb Serena or Angela "thanks Ketchum.." She thanked as she walked over to Gary wanting to give me space, i looked over to See Max and May talking with each other "Tell me Honestly May, do you regret ever doing that?" Max asked her "Of course i regret it.. not only did i lose Ash.. but i lost you too Max.. we may fight a lot, but i worry about you 24/7" May said honestly, Max after what happened never wanted to forgive May, but now i can see he is thinking hard, he opened his mouth but was cut off by someone rushing down the stairs, and to My surprise "Ash!" She exclaimed, she ran over to me, only to stop just in front of me "i-I..I!-" she panted, i looked away from her not wanting to talk to her, her expression became saddened "I'm sorry Ash.. i'm really sorry...after meeting Angela i'm sure you now know why i did that to you.. but.. i knew it was still wrong.. i.. know you don't want to talk to me now.. but just know that.. i love you very much..and i'll always be proud of you" Delia said before she walked away with her head down in shame, i felt Serena move her head, i looked down at her and stared into her eyes "are you feeling better now..?" I asked her softly, she nodded gently, as she moved away from me, I could feel Angela's body get heavier, i looked over to her and see her sleeping on my shoulder "Let's go to our room and let's talk there" Brock suggested, we all agreed and we all met up with the rest, that including Bonnie, Clemont, Paul and Trip "Ash!" Bonnie exclaimed and ran over to me, i went sideways so she wouldn't disturb Angela as Bonnie hugged me "why didn't you tell us it was you the whole time!" she exclaimed "I'm sorry Bonnie.. Clemont.." I apologized "We could understand why Ash.. we would've felt better if you told us right away though" Clemont said as he pat my shoulder "Yeah sorry about that, i won't do that again" i said, after that we all went back to our room, there Gary coked us food and we talked about everything, making sure not to leave out a single detail, "Wasn't it hard to live in Mt. silver?" Misty asked "At first it was, but we got used to it sometime later" Max said as he sat next to May who had his jolteon on her lap "on the Mountain all you did was train?" May asked "Yeah, not just our Pokemon, we trained ourselves too" Gary answered as he placed down our food on the coffee table "Brock trained and studied at the same time, after the tournament he's planning on dating the nurse joy downstairs" Max teased and with that Brock threw a pillow at his face "Max has a crush on Bonnie!" Gary Called out "W-wah! i-i do not!" He stuttered, this made Bonnie Blush madly, Clemont and May chuckled, May looked down sadly "I.. should get going.. i don't belong here anyways" May said as she gently stood up "Who said you don't belong here?" I asked "But don't you ha-" i cut her off "your apology was sincere, i forgive you, but that doesn't mean we're friends, stay for a while so we can be" i said nicely, this made her smile widely and sit back down "why.. did you forgive us so easily Ash?" Misty asked "You guys came running to apologize for your mistake" I said as i gently stroked Eevee's tail as Serena laid her head on my shoulder "But what about Delia?" May asked, with that i froze and my expression darkened "she.. she's another story" I said "oh.." May said "But.. no need to worry, i just need more time.. though i did have 7 years of time.. it isn't enough" I said as they just agreed to my Needs "Changing the subject, we all passed the 6th round, including us in the Top 35" Clemont said "to even that out they'll be adding another champion" Brock said as he finished eating his food, While me and Serena haven't touched our food at all "i heard they were making the battles a 1v1 starting tomorrow?" Max asked "They are, it's to make the days pass by faster for the Performance battles" Brock said, "Who'll be joining in your group May?" Gary asked "me, and Dawn" She said "Not misty?" Brock joked "You're lucky i still feel weak after crying" Misty said, Brock chuckled at this even Gary chuckled
