Ash's Story (Part 6: Unova)

Chapter 22

While we're at Route 5, I get a call from Yancy once more. After learning what I want to do and how many badges I have, then she says, "I am off today, so I was thinking I could pick up my phone. The one you've been keeping for me... Are you busy, Ash?"

"Actually we're not." I say.

"Really? You aren't? Good. Can we meet at the Ferris wheel in Nimbasa City? I'm looking forward to seeing you there, Ash. Good-bye."

Then we decide to all head to Nimbasa City, and we find a pink-haired girl with a white hat. She says, "No! I'm not who you think!"

"Are you Yancy? What do you mean by that?" I ask.

"...What? You're Ash? I'm so sorry! I thought you were someone else. Well, uh...It's nice to meet you. I'm Yancy! You were different than I imagined, so I was a little surprised. Ah ha ha... ..."

"And I suppose you have met my friends? This is Alice, Golly, Eve, Iris, and Cilan." I say after introducing them.

"It's nice to meet you." Yancy says with a smile. "Now we can just talk normally! Hee hee!"

I give her the phone that she dropped, and she says, "Thank you, Ash. I'm sorry I couldn't find the time to pick it up earlier. But I really enjoyed talking with you, so maybe I was a little lucky! Ah ha ha..."

Then she starts to blush a little, just like Alice predicted. "Um... If you don't mind can I still call you sometime?"

"Sure. I don't mind." I say.

" ... Phew. I was really scared you might say no. Can I ask you one more thing? I called you on the Rotom Phone too often, and Ma... I mean one of my coworkers... Got really mad at me... So, Ash, could you call me? ..."

"If you want to, we can do that." I say.

"What? Really? Thanks... Ash, you're really nice. Hee hee... I'm usually at work, and sometimes I have trouble picking up a signal... But I'd like it if you check your Rotom Phone often and give me a call... Ah ha ha! Well, I'll be heading home! Good-bye!"

After she leaves, Cilan says, "I know I recognize her from somewhere. She's Nancy! The famous Idol!"

"She's an idol?" Eve asks. "I never knew...But why is she trying to hide her true name?"

"I think being a famous idol is not that easy, I mean, there are a lot of fans that might harass her and she needs to be careful." I say.

And while we're back at Route 5, we try to evolve our Pokemon and the first one to evolve is Herdier.

Stoutland: The Big Hearted Pokemon: Normal Type. Evolve from Herdier at LV:32. It rescues people stranded by blizzards in the mountains. Its shaggy fur shields it from the cold.

Our Solosis and Gothita's rivalry are still there and they also evolve into their middle-stage evolution. That's when we decide to battle once more, although it is still a draw in the end.

Gothorita: The Manipulate Pokemon: Psychic Type. Evolve from Gothita at LV:32. They use hypnosis to control people and Pokémon. Tales of Gothorita leading people astray are told in every corner.

Duosion: The Mitosis Pokemon: Psychic Type. Evolve from Solosis at LV:32. When their brains, now divided in two, are thinking the same thoughts, these Pokémon exhibit their maximum power.

The next one to evolve is Dwebble, which evolves into a Crustle. Its shell gets bigger, so it also has some problems like my Torterra in the past. But I still remember that and I also have him learn Rock Polish to raise the speed.
