Chapter 25: Preliminaries (1)
"It's so damn big!"
An excited shout echoed at the entrance of Indigo Plateau.
Ash had finally reached the pinnacle. His red eyes brimming with enthusiasm.
The raven-haired boy had changed since the start of his journey.
From a novice battler to a seasoned Trainer in his own right.
"This is a whole lot different from Gyms…" the boy muttered in awe.
His head turned left and right to soak in the sheer size of the place.
Pikachu then held the treasured silver locket from Ash's shoulder.
"Pikapi Pikachu," the electric mouse cooed.
"Yeah… Even if she's not watching…" the boy replied.
"She would want us to give our all!"
His fist that trembled in thrill then pointed towards the League's stadium.
"We're finally here, Pikachu! Let's aim for the top, buddy!" he declared in eagerness.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu squeaked in agreement.
"You're too loud," a feminine voice called out from behind.
Ash turned to the source of the voice.
"Misty!" he exclaimed at the girl.
"Yo. Been a while, Re- Ash," Misty greeted, almost forgetting his actual name.
"You're still a bundle of energy, aren't you?"
"Pikachu-pi!" the electric mouse raised a paw towards the Gym Leader.
"How have you been, Pikachu~," the redhead cooed, scratching his neck.
Ash then looked at Misty, remembering her words from almost a year ago.
"Oh yeah, you did say you were participating back then."
"Yup," Misty answered.
Silence brewed between the two.
And Ash grinned.
"Looks we're rivals then."
"That's right."
The two sharing a determined stare towards each other. Before…
"Oh yeah, there's like… 5 minutes left for registration so better get moving," Misty nonchalantly said, looking at her watch.
"Oi! Tell me that earlier!" Ash shouted before speeding to the registration desk.
"Alright, Trainer. Please scan your Identification to the tablet," Nurse Joy instructed to Ash with a tender smile as she gestured to a black tablet.
A Pokémon Trainer's Identification was usually in a form of a license. Given only when they had registered as a Trainer. However, for some people, a PokéDex could also be used as a form of Identification as it is a sign that one had been endorsed by a Regional Professor.
Ash then placed his PokéDex on the tablet and a scan was emitted.
The screen beside it listed as followed:
Trainer Name: Red . . . Badges Obtained: 8
Pokémon Registered:
-Pikachu -Charizard -Marowak
-Lapras -Snorlax -Butterfree
