Pasio/05:40 PM
_______________________________________

The sun was beginning to set over Pasio as the Guardians rested at the Pokémon Center, waiting for their Pokémon to be healed. They lounged around in their private recovery room, tired but in good spirits. Nate grinned and leaned back in his chair. "I'm just saying, Calem, your Gallade was one teleport away from dizzy spells. Might wanna work on that aim," he teased.

Calem shot back, "Says the guy whose Haxorus almost took out our own side with its wild swings. Ever thought of getting it a pair of glasses?"

Sun chuckled. "At least my Primarina put up a good fight before going down. I didn't see Lucas's Staraptor doing much except getting tossed around by Charizard's Flamethrower."

Lucas raised an eyebrow, feigning offense. "Excuse me, my Staraptor was buying time-strategically!"

"Almost Had You Guys Back There" Hilbert added.

"Hah! What do you mean? You guys aren't even Close" Nate Said

"You Guys Literally Lose to a 3 vs 2" Sun said.

"We Would've Won if it Wasn't for Someone impatient" Brendan Said While Eyeing At Ethan

"What? I was Kicking Ass Out There" Ethan said.

"Ethan, You Literally Spam Bullet Punch. Especially at me" Calem said

"Nah man, I ain't like that"

"You're Totally like That" Calem Said with a Expressionless face.

"Like come on, we'd totally won that fight" Ethan said.

"Nuh uh, You got Embarrassed with the lack of strategy"

"Yuh uh, if it wasn't for Ash, It'll be a quick Battle" Ethan said

"Nuh uh"

"Yuh uh"

"Nuh uh"

"Yuh uh"

"Nuh uh"

"Yuh uh"

"Nuh uh"

"Yuh uh"

"Nuh uh"

"Yuh uh"

"Nuh uh"

"Yuh uh"

"Nu uh"

"Yuh uh"

the ribbing continued, escalating into playful shouts and mock arguments. Suddenly, a groggy voice cut through the noise. "Even Unconscious I can't get some relaxation" Ash muttered, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. Pikachu, who had been watching anxiously, leaped up onto Ash's shoulder with a happy "Pika!"

"Hey there bud, I'm okay" As said while rubbing pikachu

Red also stirred, wincing slightly as he sat up. "What happened? Did we win?" he asked, looking around.

Hilbert grinned. "Not exactly, Mr.Terrific . You both passed out mid-fight. It was a draw."

Nate laughed, "And a pretty dramatic one at that. I think the whole island felt that final clash."

Ash blinked, taking in the news. "A draw, huh?" He turned to Red, who gave him a small nod of approval.

Just then, the door swung open. "Hey, everyone!" Brock one of Ash's Companion announced, stepping in with a broad grin and holding a tray full of Poké Balls. "All your Pokémon are healed up, ready to go!"
