Volo in Diamond and Pearl(Pokémon 💎 🦪)

Ch11

Third Person's POV

Because Our heroes arrived to the Oreburgh Gym just after Paul did, Ash and Volo waited for their turn to challenge Roark the Oreburgh Gym Leader by watching Paul's challenge first. what our heroes witnessed is Paul using his Pokémon in a unusually creative way without concern for their types and managing to gain the convened Coal Badge as a result. But now the curtain's about to come up on Ash and Volo's first Sinnoh Gym Battle Challenge.

"Aren't you gonna stay and watch my battle?" Ash asked. Paul just stared hard, thinking for a moment.

"Ash..." Volo whispers sounding concern.

There was silence in the air before Paul smirks as Ash ran over, now irritated. "What's so funny?!" Ash demands.

Volo sighs placing a hand on Ash's shoulder "Leave the heat to me, Ash"

"You want me to watch you lose?" Paul asked looking at Ash.

"Alright! Time out!" Dawn said as she got in between them with Pikachu and Vanilla to copy then the three of them looked at Paul as Dawn said "You've already battled Ash once, why not stay and watch?" she kindly offers.

Paul stared at her for a moment. Dawn got a little uncomfortable. "What...what's wrong?" She asked. 

"What's wrong? Do I know you?" Paul asked. 

Dawn looked as she was going to burst with pure rage. "Excuse me your rudeness, but we met once before, the name's Dawn!" Dawn shouts.

Volo remembers 'Oh I think we're in the episode where Ash loses to Roark' he thinks before looking at Brock and Gary "Brock, Gary" he calls which the mentioned look at Volo "you better hold Dawn back because this is about to get ugly" he warns them pointing at the enraged Dawn.

"Don't remember." Paul replied, feeling dull at the very moment.

That's when Dawn has turn red, steaming with anger! "You think you're funny, don't cha?! LISTEN MISTER! YOU NASTY SPOLIED BRAT! APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW!" Dawn bellowed as both Gary and Brock quickly grab her under the arms.

"Dawn, no! He's not worth it!" Volo yells out, standing between her and Paul trying to get her to calm down as Pikachu watches them.

"You're welcome to stay." Roark assures

"With that enthusiasm, how could I refuse?" Paul smirks.

"Good! and I'm gonna show you a battle with a whole new battle!" Ash exclaims before turning to Roark. "Whenever you're ready, Roark! I'm ready!" Ash calls.

"Ash, would you mind terribly if we had our battle tomorrow?" Roark asked as Ash was confused. "You know, my Pokémon and I just went through a serious battling and to tell you the truth, we're exhausted." He explains.

"I hear ya. Hey, tomorrow will be just fine!" Ash agrees with a smile.

"Great! Thank you, Ash!" Roark thanks him, smiling.

Then Ash glares at Paul who just smirked but the smirk rapidly fade when he sees Volo frowning at him, not mad at the fullest but it made the atmosphere tense enough for everyone in the room feel a shiver up their spine.

-scene change-

Meanwhile, with the heroes, they were at the Pokémon Center, there was a loud beep was heard meaning the Pokémon were healed and Paul had taken the two Pokeballs before walking away then he heard noises and looked over to see Ash and his friends looking at Ash's Pokémon as they shouted for Ash, wanted to be in the Gym Battle.

"Okay, I know you all wanted to get out of this place as soon as you can, but I can only pick three!" Ash explains trying to calm them down.

"Try to understand that out of all of you the only Pokémon good for battling a Rock Type is Turtwig, who is a Grass type." Brock points out and
