"Sometime I wish life was written in pencil so we could erase all of our mistakes and correct them...."

"You got to keep your spine straight... Good.. You are able to lift more weight than a month ago..." Ash threw the barbell on the ground filling the entire gym with the sonourous sound of metal striking with the ground... Usually average weight to lift is 2.4 time your body weight and he was able to do it now... He won't go around becoming a super saiyan just by training for two months and lift weight of two hundreds..

"Thats enough for today.. Do the usual stretching and we are done... Well I would say increase your diet but you always throw up during missions so it is fine the way you are..." His gaze landed upon the dratini over Astrid's head doing who knew what... It felt like she was her trainer more than Ash was... The past week after dealing with conference was hectic...

Convincing Paul to train was way too hard and he didn't agreed even still... He told Ash to go on his own till he get at least 4 good pokemon and then show his ugly face...

"It is pain... So what is the next mission?" Ash asked... Surge saw him strech up his stiff body kicking his leg high into the air.. Good thing he could still perform full splits... The weight lifting was all for his sword skills.. The harder he grips and faster he swings the more are his chances to kill and surge realized it... If Ash is gonna play like he is, then him and Hiroshi would meet rather soon...

"It is a full team based mission... There is a group of team rocket and broken shards of team galactic commanders who are aiming to get Cyrus back in offerenece to some rare pokemons they have... Few of them are already traded but if we get one of them alive then the rest of the pokemon can be saved..." Surge told Ash... Placing the towel over his neck after wiping his face up, he sat down...

Cynthia defeated Cyrus years ago when he tried to open the portal to other dimension and was killed by Giratina or was he? Ash was unaware... Were they aiming to get him back or were they carrying his will... Also why on earth were they working with team rocket... Didn't they hated each other?

"Rockets are bastard willing to go to any extent... They don't have goals, they are pure evil in case you don't know..."

"Aww.. You are so cute.. Ash look at this.." Astrid sat down next to him showing a small ball of electricity over the baby pokemon's head.. The dratini tried to power it up even more but it didn't worked... It made Ash smile, all the efforts it did.. He lightly patted that head ignoring the small shock he got from the attack...

"You eager to get in the battlefield?" He asked standing up looking at the dratini slid up his arms to his necks... Kid pokemon shouldn't battle for at least two weeks, it was basic common sense but the tiny pokemon looked upto Charizard who usually slacked off for this month...
