Across The PokeVerse

Chapter 2

Journeys Ash in Kalos POV:

Ash walked out into the hotel lobby and made eye contact with Serena, who blushed and looked away from Ash.

He sat down to a chair where he was implied to sit, considering there was a coffee cup with his name on it and a load of pastries. Ash smiled and started eating.

"So Ash, what's with the new clothes?" Bonnie asked curiously

"Yeah, it's super cold in this city. Why'd you bother wearing shorts in this weather?" Clemont asked with confusion

"But they look good on you! I like them!" Serena said with a smile.

Ash smiled back at Serena, "Thanks! But I won't stay in these forever." He quickly thought of an excuse, "I accidentally tore my normal clothes yesterday, so I'm gonna need new ones."

Serena practically sprang out of her seat, "Oh! I'd be happy to shop for a new outfit that you can wear for the rest of your journey!" Ash smiled at her, and she blushed again. How did he miss these signals when he was in Kalos all those years ago?

"Yeah, that'd be nice, Serena! I'm sure you'll find something that'll look great. I need to train today, so I'll be out in the forest."

Clemont spoke up, "Uhhh, I guess Bonnie and I will join you, Ash."

Ash shook his head. "No, no, no! That won't be needed. I can train alone!" Clemont and Bonnie looked at each other and then shrugged.

"At least train with Sawyer. I mean he traveled with us yesterday," Bonnie said

Clemont shrugged, "Sawyer just ran off earlier today. He said something about a Mega Stone. He says good luck in the gym battle Ash."

"Maybe you two can join me and see the sights of Snowbelle while I shop for Ash?" Serena said, trying to help. Clemont's interest looked peaked. "Well, I know there is a spare parts shop in the area. Maybe we could stop by and I could pick up some stuff for my inventions?"

Bonnie nodded, "And maybe we can find you a wife somewhere along the way!"

Clemont looked at Bonnie angrily, and they began bickering, and Serena and Ash started laughing at the two siblings.

Ash smiled at all the chaos, he had missed this group.

Later in the forest......

Ash called out his entire team out of their Poke Balls. One by one, Dragonite, Gengar, Dracovish, Sirfetch'd, and Lucario were all called out. Pikachu hurried over towards the group.

Ash's Pokemon looked around confused. Last time most of them were released, they were in Vermillion City, all warm and cozy. Now, they were in a frozen forest with their trainer who looked cold.

Ash cleared his throat and spoke to the group, "So, uhhh I think we need to address the Donphan in the room right now. To put it simply, I woke up 11 months in the past this morning. I don't know how or why. But I do know this, we can right the wrongs of the past. Something awful happens very soon in Kalos, and if we're smart we can stop it. And maybe win a Pokemon League along the way. So how does that sound?"

Ash's Pokemon all gave an enthusiastic cry of approval, and he gave a smile. "Alright then, let's do some training! This gym is an ice type one, so Lucario, Sirfetch'd and Pikachu are up."

Ash's Pokemon paired off and began sparring. He remembered his last battle against Wulfric, and he did NOT want to go and lose his first match again. Whatever the case, he had a stronger team, more experience, and wouldn't lose in such a dumb way again. Relying on Ash-Greninja was his bane last time, and this time he would only use Mega Lucario or a Z Move Pikachu as a last resort. But it probably wouldn't come to that. Would it?
