The Closest Ones

28. Fist fight

A.N. I count in meters and has like no idea in feet, so let's take it in meters, I will give you guys feet, but most of time, I am gonna talk in meters because I am used to them XD. Also I am gonna try to describe everything, if you don't want, then tell me, but I think about how books are about imagination and if I cut out that imagination like that, what it would be for? Tell me if you want, I know for someone it can be annoying, but it is up to you.

"I know that gyms are suppose to stand out from other buildings, but don't tell me that building right over there is a gym?" Ash pointed at the other small land with huge tower.

"No Ash, it is the gym and before you ask, we will have to wait." Clemont said as he look with small smile on gym. "You see, high tides and low tides are revealing path that leads right to the gym, but because low tides are only during early mornings or evenings. It is quiet interesting this natural phenomenon." Clemont said a he was in the middle of his sentences pointing to water, where bottom was closer to surface then everytwhere else, making small path.

"So you want me to tell, to wait till evening and then we can have a battle or that we missed the morning low tide by only a few hours, or don't tell me just minutes?" Ash asked, Clemont sweatdropped, good thing he did not mention that in the morning it would be before they arrive or they would make it, but it would be whole way running.

"I think you should be glad we made it so quick at all." Serena poked Ash behind his head. "You were suppose to be still healing, making us wait more days behind." Serena commented, which Ash just laughed as Pikachu jumped dowh his shoulder and Ash made small warm up on his muscles, especially in his back.

"Like I already told you, I never really need time to recover, I heal fast." Ash said with small smirk and pulled out his pokeball, as he was grabbing his pokeball, the other one opened revealing Riolu, who looked only to the island. "Do you feal it Riolu, that is our next rival and gym leader." Ash said as he felt the all emotion not only from himself but also from his pokemon.

"Yeah Ash, but you will have to wait until evening for it." Bonnie remarked, but Ash smirked.

"I am also quick to think Bonnie. Ash said as he enlarged his pokeball, making Pikachu and Riolu to back away. "You might want to as well guys." Ash noted and everyone did as he told. "Come out big guy!" as the pokeball opened, a huge shadow covered them all, with loud thud. It was big, fat and large pokemon with cream color fur covering its face, belly and feet and other parts like his back being covered in grey-blue fur. It had pointy ears and eyes looking only just lines and big mouth with two sharp teeth on each side. It's feet and hands were in size to be able to hold the body up and be able to move around.

"It's huge!" Bonnie screamed as they all watched the huge pokemon fell on its back and sleep with loud snoring.

"Yeah and very sleepy." Serena noted and pulled out her pokedex at the new pokemon.

"Snorlax, sleeping pokemon, normal type. Snorlax eats over 800 pounds of food every day. As it begins to eat, it falls asleep and it sleeps while it eats. Its average height is a bit less than seven feet."

"This is bigger than... sorry how does the feet goes to meters Clemont?" Serena asked with quiet embarrassment.

"Well seven feet are like two meters and yes, this is bigger than two meters. Ash where did you catch this Snorlax? It's like 4 meters high!" Clemont said as he watched Snorlax around, which was still slept.

"Seven Grapefruit Islands and I must say I miss the grapefruits from there, nowhere have I had better grapefruits than there and I think Snorlax too." Ash chuckled as he came to his sleeping pokemon slowly. "He ate all the grapefruits from one of the seven islands, and if I hadn't caught him, he might have eaten all fruit from all of those islands. But he wasn't big that time, he just grew up like this by eating a lot."
