The Forgotten Champion

Chapter 4

It was a quiet morning in the town of Pewter City. Well, mostly quiet. People were bustling around at the Stone household, carrying out tasks that were set to them. In the middle of all the men running around the place layed three men on their backs resting.

"This is the life." The one on the left exclaimed lazily. "Right, you are Paul, right you are." Said the one on the right, who was wearing a black trench coat and a fedora that covered his face. "Hey! Why aren't you guys working right now?" Screamed a girl running over to them. She had purple hair and was wearing her trademark electabuzz hat but had ditched the jersey. She was followed by two girls one with green hair, and one with red.

"I'm tired of you girls bossing us around, so we're taking a break!" Surge exclaimed. "You're not allowed to take a break! Do you see all those men working their butts off?" Flannery exclaimed pointing at all the men bustling around. "Oh yeah? Well then why don't you woman get off your fat asses and come help us out?" Paul asked smirking. Flannery and Casey put their hands to their chests in shock and backed up. 

The last female that didn't back up looked at our certain protagonist. "You're being awfully quiet aura guardian. Why's that?" Sabrina asked also smirking. "I'm just trying to ignore all these loud noises and enjoy my vacation off work, Witch." Ash said from under his fedora. 

Everyone present suddenly jumped back in shock as there were pink and blue aura surrounding each user as they floated in the air. "WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. What's going on here?!" Brock asked/yelled. "These men aren't working so we decided to put them in their place." Casey said, having gained her confidence back. "Guys, I think it's best if you listen to the girls." Brock said, trying not to start a fight. "Brock, quit being a pussy. You're a man, act like one. This is your wedding and you're in charge, so start acting like it." Ash said disappointed.

Brock had a thoughtful look on his face before looking like he was gonna agree with Ash. He turned around, to be confronted with three angry auras, while the girls had smiles on their faces. Brock quickly turned around. "You guys should definitely get to work!" He said quickly. Ash sighed, "Screw that, I'm going to get something to eat." He said, walking into the forest.

Brock sighed, knowing Ash was going to be a problem for the next week. "Gosh who invited that rude guy?" Asked Flannery. "Do you know who that was Brock?" Asked Casey. Brock got a nervous look on his face. "Um no. I don't know." Brock said. He turned to see Sabrina with a smirk on her face. 'This could be bad.' He thought to himself.

Ash walked through the forest quietly approaching a Pidgy. He slowly approached and looked at Meowth giving it a nod. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Was suddenly heard through the forest. Ash sighed as the pidgy flew away out of the forest. He turned around and started heading towards the noise.

When Ash arrived at the site he took in the scene. There was a small blue-haired boy, maybe 3, being surrounded by 3 older boys around 5. "C'mon Scotty hand it over, we all know you're not old enough to take care of it." Said one of the older kids. "I won't its mwommys and she gwave it to me to protect!" The small boy declared proudly, but also scared. You could see the tear marks staining the little boys eyes.

"Alright I've had enough." Ash said as he walked out of the shrubbery. He glared at the 3 boys. "Thanks to you I've lost my meal. Now either we do this the easy way or the hard way. Leave now or I'll eat you for lunch!" Ash said calmly. The kids screamed as they ran away crying for dear life.

Ash smiled as he turned toward the 3-year old, who was looking at him in shock. He slowly walked up to him and picked up the item he had dropped. "Is this yours?" He asked without emotion. The boy nodded. "Thwank yowu so much mister!" Ash simply ignored him as he opened the pokeball. Out came a small pokemon in the shape of a rabbit. "Buneary! I missed you so much." The little boy said hugging the small pokemon who looked at him caringly.
