Chapter 18 final chapter 

Ash was grinning ear to ear with Pikachu on his shoulder looking at their newly acquired gym badge, "This awesome Pi, we've got 3 badges now and everyone is looking great in battle."

"Pi pika kachu." The electric mouse said excitedly pumping his fist.

"Ash that was an awesome battle and your pokemon looked so strong out there." May complemented snaking her fingers around Ash's. "I was so impressed with how Sandslash battled too, for being as young and how new to your team he is."

"So am I, his drive to improve is so strong and his battle spirit is as bright as all my other pokemon." He replied looking at the particular poke ball. They turned down the road towards the Pokemon Center when a sudden rustling in the bushes next to them caught Ash's attention. Before he could react a blur flew through the air knocking him to the ground, Pikachu luckily had the reflexes to jump to safety.

Pikachu, Lucario, and Glaceon all took defensive stances not knowing what had just hit Ash. Lifting his head from the ground seeing something pressed to his chest. All he could make out was a slightly pinkish fluff, a small amount of light pink skin, and a green ball at the end of the object.

"Flaa flaaffy ffy!!" I happily cried out.

"A Flaffy?" May said in a confused tone.

Ash managed to sit up and could fully see the pokemon in front of him, he stared for a moment before he smiled. "Flaffy I can't believe it's you. What are you doing here?"

The electric pokemon began to speak quickly and gesturing with her arms. Ash chuckled, "Slow down my friend I can't quite understand you."

May watched for a moment before she spoke, "Ash, I take it you know this Flaffy?"

Ash stood up and looked at May, "Yes I met her when we went to Mt. Silver." Flaffy looked at Ash with a smile. "Let's go to the Pokemon Center and I can explain it."

They continued on their way and Flaffy stayed next to Ash's side as they walked. They went to the bench area outside of the center to sit in the shade, "I'm going to get my pokemon checked real fast and I'll be right back. Flaffy stay here with May, ok. She's really sweet and she's also my girlfriend."

The shiny pokemon looked at May and smiled before nodding to Ash. He quickly went and handed his pokemon to Nurse Joy. "I'll bring these out to you when I'm done Mr. Ketchum."

"Thank you so much I appreciate it so much." Ash went back to the bench and sat down with May, Glaceon, Lucario and Flaffy.

"Ok May I'll explain how I met Flaffy." Ash said.

Flashback

Ash and his group of pokemon had been at Mt. Silver for only a few days, still getting their bearings for the wild area they had picked to finish their training.
