X and Y a Different Story

Episode 1 - An Old New Friend

A beautiful day it is, as Ash and the gang are getting ready to leave Coumarine City and head for Lumiose City; where Ash will battle Clemont for the Voltage badge. Though before they leave, they decide to have breakfast in the park.

"Hey Clemont, is it ready yet?" Ash complained.

"Pika," Pikachu groaned.

"Yeah, I am hungry," Bonnie agreed.

"Well I am almost done, just a few more minutes," Clemont answered.

"AAAWWWW you said that a few minutes ago," Bonnie exclaimed.

"Well just be patient, here you can take one of these as something to hold you off 'til food is

ready," Serena held out a basket of macaroons, which is two small cakes stuck together by a different flavored creamy frosting.

Bonnie smiled and grabbed some, "YAY," she shouted, popping them into her mouth.

"Now hold on a second, you are going to ruin your appetite," Clemont said looking at Bonnie.

Ash grabbed one, "Oh come on Clemont one isn't going to hurt," he said and began to eat it.

Pikachu reached into the basket but stopped as his cheeks sparked. "Pika?"

Ash looked down at him, "What is it Pikachu?"

"I think there is a lot of electricity in the air," Clemont said looking around. "But why?"

"Who knows," Ash answered.

Just then Pikachu's cheeks sparked again along with Dedenne's.

"Eh?" Dedenne sounded confused.

They both looked up; there was a large bolt of lightning shooting into the sky.

"Pika," Pikachu pointed and then began to run toward the area where the lightning had come from; with Dedenne following close behind.

"Hey where are you going?" Ash shouted and began to run after him.

"Dedenne!" Bonnie said, running too.

"Ash," Serena followed.

Clemont looked at the pan and stove then after the others, "Guys come back the food is done!" He shouted, "Ugh," He turned off the stove. "Well, there goes breakfast."

Ash followed Pikachu a few blocks away, 'til they came to a large gathering of people. There were police cars and an ambulance, with the lights flashing, and you could see officers asking people to move along.

Pikachu began squeezing through the crowd of people with Dedenne still close behind.

"Pikachu get back here!" Ash called out as he started to shove through the crowd.

"Hey watch it!" People from the crowd groaned and shouted.

When Pikachu and Dedenne got through the crowd they stopped to observe the situation; while Ash burst through and tripped over them, causing a Growlithe to begin growling and barking in his face.

"Ahh!" He jumped up and scooted back. "What's going on?"

"You need to get back," Officer Jennie said in a commanding voice.

Ash stood and looked out toward the center of the gathering; there was a large Jolteon standing over someone in a defensive stance. Sparks flew from it, in a threatening gesture, as people approached. A Growlithe walked up and barked at it, the Jolteon growled back, and attacked with at Thunder attack; which caused the Growlithe to drop to the ground and faint.
