The Galar Region: Part 2

"So what else is available in the Galar Region, Kait?" Cilan asks as he cocks his head to the left.

"Same old eight gyms and champion battle.." Kait trails. "However, there are plenty of new Pokémon!"

"How long will we be staying here..?" Ash asks while turning to Cilan.

"A few more days possibly. It was a nice trip!"

"Mhm!" Ash smiles in agreement.

Rustle, rustle..

"What's that in the grass?" Ash quickly whispers.

"I didn't hear anything, Ash." Cilan whispers back.

Rustle.. "Yamp!"

Just then a small yellow dog pops out from the tall, thick grass. "That's a Yamper!" Kait excitedly calls out. "You should try to catch it, Ash! It's a bit feisty though so it definitely requires a well fought battl-" Before Kait finishes, the Yamper jumps into Ash's arms and hugs him.

"What?!?" Cilan and Kait call out at once.

Ash bit the bullet and asks, "Wanna join my team Yamper?"

"Yamp!" Yamper excitedly calls out while jumping up and down.

"Then it's settled! Pokéball, go!" The Pokéball flies upwards into the air as Yamper jumps upward, hitting the Pokéball. It doesn't even shake, concluding an automatic catch.

"You sure do have your ways, Ash.." Cilan calls out in a flirtatious way. This causes Ash to blush violently. Until his stomach growls of course.

After a well slept night of snuggling Cilan in bed, Ash is ready to fully explore his last day in the Galar region. He is very excited to catch a few more Pokémon on the way. However, none were found and Ash was getting discouraged. "Where's all the Pokémon..?" He asks.

"I don't know.. This is a bit concerning.." Kait responds.

"Perhaps something bad happened? Maybe we should look into it." Cilan says.

"Yeah!" Both Ash and Kait reply. "We don't want anyone getting hurt!" Ash adds. After running through the forest, the gang finds a Gengar standing where many other Pokémon were trapped in cages.

"Be carefu—" Cilan starts.

"Hey you!" Ash yells out. "What do you think you are doing to those poor Pokémon?" The Gengar stops giggling and turns around. Kait gets a Pokéball ready in her hand that holds Zacian. "Release them now!!" Ash continues. The Gengar sighs.

"What is this Gengar planning?" Cilan asks.

The Gengar points to Zacian's Pokéball, shaking it's head, showing it does not want to fight. Kait puts Zacian back in her pocket. "What do you want??" Kait asks. Just then an Alakazam behind bars uses it's telepathy to speak.

"Humans, this Gengar was trying to rescue us." The Alakazam states. "Gengar was able to scare of the team that trapped us here, however we cannot get out without the key."

"Where did the team run off to?" Cilan asks.

"You see.." Alakazam continues. "They sort of.. blasted off."

"Team Rocket.." Ash mumbles. "But do you think Pikachu's iron tail on those bars would break through them?"

"Chu!" Pikachu cooed.

"It's worth a try, Ash!" Kait replies.

"Alright then! Pikachu, use iron tail on the bars!"

"Pi.." Pikachu says while starting up the iron tail, aiming for the bars and not the Pokémon. "Kachuu!"  The bars snap and the Pokémon run out with happiness.

"Thanks a lot, buddy!" Ash says to Pikachu while beaming.

"Chu!"

"I am very pleased by your efforts, humans." Alakazam states.

"You can call me Ash! This is my boyfriend, Cilan, and that's Kait!" Cilan blushes from being called 'boyfriend.'

"Ok, Ash." Alakazam starts. "May I join your team?"

"Of course! Love to have ya—" Ash says before being cut off by Gengar.

"Gen!!" Gengar yells out while tapping on Cilans arm.

So that final night at the Galar region, Alakazam joins Ash's team and Gengar joins Cilan's team.

"Say, Alakazam? What is a Kanto region Pokémon like you doing in the Galar region?" Ash asks.

"I'm not sure, Ash." Alakazam says while looking up at the sky. "I just kind of woke up here.. And in a way, felt like I had to join your team."

"Gengar!" Gengar calls out.

"Same goes to Gengar with joining Cilan."

"Odd.." Cilan says almost to himself.

As the journey continues..
