32. Ash's Reborn Story

Chapter 64 Big Top Arena

Ash and Pikachu arrive at the Big Top Arena, only to find that it is crowded with people who want to get inside.

Samson: Crowd's annoying. (Walks towards the crowd and yells) Hey, MOVE IT!

The sudden yell causes the crowd to quickly step aside for the path for Ash and Samson to walk through.

Samson: After you.

Ash sweatdrops a little as he enters the Big Top Arena with Pikachu. When they get there, they notice a girl in a ballerina suit is dancing, she has blue hair with a feather on her hair.

?: Ah, more latecomers still? So sorry everyone, but I'm afraid that's all she wrote! Do come back for our next show! (Notices Samson walks in) Oh, Samson. Is this the boy they were talking about? I'm surprised he's conscious.

Samson: This is... (Turns to Ash) Actually, I forgot to ask their name.

?: (Sighs) Unctuous as always, hm, Samson?

Ash: Oh, sorry. My name is Ash and this is my partner Pikachu. I think I already know Samson, but I don't think we've met...

Ciel: My name is Ciel. I'm the spotlit starlet of the Agate Circus specialty show. Aerial ballet is my forte. A pleasure to meet you, darling.

Samson: Anyway, Ash is here for the girl.

Ciel: Oh! Superb, I was worried no one would claim her. Follow me- She's just back this way.

Ash nods as he follows both of them, he also notices how some people are sitting at the stands with sleeping bags and other things with them, this place is likely to become a refuge shelter because of the Agate City. After entering the staff room, Ash notices a Telecom and also a giant computer, as well as a sofa where Aya is resting on.

Samson: She's your friend, right?

Ash: Yeah, also a Poison-Type Gym Leader from Reborn.

Ringmaster: (Walks in with Cain) Hey everyone! We've got another visitor!

Cain: (Rushes towards his sister) Aya!

Ringmaster: By the way, is something up with Terra? She just ran up, punched the community shower, and then scampered off.

Samson and Ciel just look at each other with a shrug, and Cain continues to shake Aya until she slowly wakes up.

Aya: Unnh... I feel like shit... (Notices the one shaking her) Cain?

Cain: (Sighs in relief) Oh, thank goodness!

Aya: (Mutters) Been a while...

Cain: ...Yeaaaah...(Lowers his head) Sorry about that. I was, uh... busy. How's Mom?

Aya: (Glares at her brother) Tch, don't ask. (Notices Ash) Oh, Ash, you're here as well.

Ash: Yeah, our last meeting was the fact that I was getting your badge. Hardy was also there as well.

Aya: Speaking of which, where's Hardy?

Ciel: Ah! That must be the other boy whom we observed soaring not-quite-so-elegantly over the Circus.

Ash: But why would you be in Agate City?

Aya: Hardy was supposed to show me his Gym. That's why we went up to Agate, but... I can't remember what happened when we got there.
