Ash And Horizons

Back to the battle again

"Sprigatito, Use Lea-"

Sprigatito jumped towards oshawoot without even care at all.

"Oshawoot, bubble!"

Anne oshawoot hit sprigatito with the bubble attack, followed with sprigatito crash to the ground.

"Hwaa! I'm sorry, sprigatito!"

Liko bent down and put sprigatito on her lap.

"We can't finish the battle if you do that." Anne told her as the two approach Liko, followed with scorbunny tried to cheer the said girl with giving some soft taps.

"Anne's right Liko. Usually in official matches, you're not allowed to come approach your pokemon in the middle of the battle." Ash explained, "If you do that, you'll get hurt by the enemy's attack."

"I see..." Liko stroking sprigatito's head after sprigatito suddenly shook the water off of her body, "You're so reckless, i don't know what you're thinking to do that at all."

And Liko realized, 'Wait, i do reckless just like sprigatito.. does that mean me and sprigatito have something in common??'

"Also, you gotta coordinate strategy and attack as a team..." And then anne noticed Liko's been quiet, "Hey... Are you listening?"

Liko snapped out of her mind, "Oh, sorry.. yeah. I'll try my best."

"Excuse me."

Liko, Ash, and Anne looked at a boy around their age looking at Ash.

"I'm just curious, are you perhaps Ash Ketchum?"

"Yeah, i'm Ash Ketchum."

The boy's eyes widened when he's correct, "I knew it! I can't believe that the world monarch is in our school!"

The boy shout made everyone around the area stopped whatever they're doing and looked at Ash.

"That's really Ash ketchum!"

"I never noticed it was him at all!"

"I want an autograph from him!"

"He's not only the world monarch, he's also the Alola Champion!"

And in an instant, Ash, Anne, and Liko got swarmed with many students.

"Ash, you never tell us you're the world monarch!"

"Sorry Liko, everyone in this school would freak out and try to get to me like right now."

"I mean he's not wrong at all." Anne agree while holding her Oshawoot on top of her head.

"So what if the world monarch is in our school?"

Everyone looked at the incoming sound direction and saw a boy, a bit taller than Ash, wearing a dark cloud earring, has a magenta hair and purple eyes accompany with a Tyranitar on his right approach the group.

"W-who is that boy?" Liko cannot help but nervously asked.

"I remember him from the rumor of this school." One of the boy said, "His name is Rucco from the second year. This guy manage to make one of the student's pokemon injured badly by his tyranitar."

Ash eyes keep focused on the boy while hearing one of the boy's explanation.

"So your name is Rucco?"

"That's my name and honestly, you're only a fraud as a world monarch."

"..What do you mean by that?" Ash asked in serious tone.

"Simple, there's no way Leon, the original world monarch would allow you to use all gimmicks of mega evolve, z-moves, and dynamax." Rucco explained, "You just have no chance at all on beating the real world monarch when it comes to use only one gimmicks at all."
