The Closest Ones

37. Expected battle

No POV

"The official battle between both gym leader Clemont and Clembot against challenger Ash Ketchum from Pallet town will start. The rules are different today. There will be three battles, to win the whole battle, you have to just win two of those fights." Meyer spoke, as both sides stood there. One with man with determination and robotic hearth, the other with man who waited for this the moment he knew about their situation.

An hour ago

Bonnie squeaked with happiness, as all of them were there. Clemont explained how he and their father prepared it and they did. They had Bonnie's favourite cake with big 10 on top. Multiple gifts in one corner.

She was so much happy. She was still worried about Celebi, but everything what was happening in each next second made her enjoy it even more. 

The cake, the confetti shot out from Clembot instead of pokeballs, the music, everything. And then the gift were next.

From father, she got things like her own pokedex, purse, pokeballs and other things needed for her to be able to travel even alone. She also got big hug from with words how she grown up. From Serena, she got a bag on her back in yellow collor with black straps and from Clemont, she got poketch, Dedenne's pokeball as her starter and some type of ball with yellow button on top and words.

"Use it only if you are in danger." and then Ash came, holding box. She took it from him, opening it, to reveal another pokeball.

"Huh?" she asked confused, as she took it out, looking at Ash, who nodded her to open it. She opened the pokeball to reveal pokemon they saw with Ash since the first the moment they met. "Teddiursa! I-I don't undestand..."

"Well Bonnie, since I came here, I felt you were caring for Teddiusa much more then me and so some time ago I gave it to Clemont's possession. Which I have to say I am surprised nobody noticed that I had seven pokemon at the same time." Ash said with grin, as Bonnie cuddled with Teddiursa. "But that isn't all Bonnie." she looked at him confused, but then pulling out a small card with code and number above it.

"10 000!" Bonnie exclaimed, everyones eyes widening and looking at Ash who already raised his hands.

"Before you say anything. I think Bonnie will need it as to how I got it, well..." he paused for a moment. Bonnie looked at card more and noticed date on its side.

"It will expire in three days." Bonnie said and Ash nodded.

"I had it already for three years and when I knew you would be having birthday, I thought you could use it much more then me." he said with big grin, scratching behind his head.

"Thank you Ash." Bonnie said as she hugged him, surprising him.

"Hey, it is your birthday. And also that is not the only thing we prepared." Ash said as he looked at Clemont.

Present

"Come out!" both gym leaders yelled, as they revealed Bunnelby and another green pokemon, it had round fat pokemon with limbs a little bit dwarf limbs with big spikes on its back.

"Quilladin, spiny armor pokemon, grass type, evolution of  Chespin. Evolved They strengthen their lower bodies by running into one another. They are very kind and won't start fights."

"So Chespin evolved?" Ash asked as he pushed his pokedex back inside his pocket.

Clemont and Clembot looked at each other and he then looked back. "Yup, we trained really hard for this fight Ash. We are ready for it." he said with big smile and Ash chuckled and pulled out one pokeball and on other hand, Pikachu jumped down from his shoulder and ran forward.
