Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 11/

With a grin he called out, "Charizard let's end this with a classic. Grab Areodactyl tight and use Seismic Toss!" Charizard smirked and with a mighty flap of his wings he launched himself into the air dragging Areodactyl along with him. Ignoring the pain in his wings he flew high and began to circle, when he reached the height of the circle he dove downwards with as much speed as he could. As they neared the ground Charizard flung his opponent down and spun into a Dragon Tail to increase the power. Areodactyl closed her eyes and felt the impact of the ground, know that there was nothing more she could do she lay there waiting for whatever came next. She was greatly surprised when she heard a voice from beside her, she opened her eyes and seen Ash kneeling next to her.

"Areodactyl that was one amazing battle and you have some power. Although you have much more potential that cannot be tapped into here. Would you like to come with me train hard everyday, become the strongest there is and most importantly be a member of our family." he asked gesturing towards his pokemon that were out. Charizard landed next to Ash and extended his claw to Areodactyl to help her to her feet, she raised a winged claw and slowly took his and she stood in front of Ash.

"So what do you say would you like to join us?" Ash asked as he held out a dusk ball. Areodactyl looked at it for a moment, then she leaned her snout forward and tapped the ball. Red light enveloped her as she was pulled into the ball, once she was inside the ball rocked only once then dinged signaling she was captured.

"Alright, we just got a new member of the family." Ash said with a grin, when he heard a small amount of movement behind him. He turned to see the rest of the fossil pokemon turn and head back to the depths of the cavern knowing that Areodactyl was gone. Ash's pokemon and him stared at them for a moment then decided it was time to leave them in peace. Charizard flew them to the surface then Krookodile used Rock Tombto seal it once again.

End Flashback

"Wow Ash that was an amazing story, it's weird though that she is so calm and seems so friendly."

"It took a little while but we got her to come out of her shell. Now she is one of my most loyal pokemon and one of the fiercest battlers I have ever seen. Although her and Charizard still have a rivalry, it's based out of friendship and mutual respect for one another." Ash explained as he walked up and stroked her jaw, earning a happy grumble from the fossil pokemon. May slowly walked up to Areodactyl, put her hand out and was surprised when she pushed her head against her hand with no hesitation.

"She's heard all about you May, I talked about everyone in my life to my new pokemon so they would know about my friends and family." Ash said watching the two bond.

"You talked about me a lot Ash?" May say with a slight blush.

"Of course I did May, I cherish all our memories. I wouldn't be the trainer I am now without everything we'd been through." He said with a grin.

They spent a little longer talking and resting before they started walking again. It had been almost two hours since they started walking when they came across a small over look that looked straight down into pitch blackness. May was a little leery about looking over, but Ash was amazed by the thoughts of what could be down at the bottom. May was starting to feel even more uneasy as if someone or something was watching them.

"Ash it doesn't feel right, we should get going again." May said holding her arms tight to her body.

"Master I sense something as well, the aura in here seems disgruntled and angry." Lucario added dropping into a slight defensive stance.
