Pokemon Indigo League Stories Part 2

Advice to Goh

" And we're just getting started. Look over there." Gary said.

" Huh?" Ash and the others looked.

" It looks like Infernape's Challenge was accepted."

Moltrace cleared all the clouds in sight, and Goh and Ash gasped in awe.

" Moltrace!" they both said at the same time.

Just as Ash was going to signal Infernape, a car zoomed up the cliff and made a 360 degrees turn before landing on its wheels. Two people jumped out.

" Wait!"

Everyone froze, and the boy wearing green ran to Moltrace.

" Hmm..... its wings have lots of fire, which is a good thing. It has a shiny coat, and its eyes are clear."

" You can tell all that just from being a Pokemon watcher?" The other boy asked as he took a few pictures.

The first boy nodded as he sketched furiously. Ash sighed. 

" Tracey? Todd?"

Tracey looked up from his sketchbook, eyes narrowing as he studied Ash, Gary, and Goh with that familiar gleam of curiosity. Without a word, he flipped to a fresh page, furiously sketching ideas as they came to life in his mind. Meanwhile, Todd, camera in hand, circled the trio with the intent of capturing the action from every possible angle.

Ash blinked, noticing Tracey's intense stare. "Uh, Tracey? What are you—"

"Hold still!" Tracey interrupted, a faint grin on his face as he kept sketching, then looked up.

Before anyone could ask, Tracey grabbed Ash and turned him upside down.

" Tracey!" Ash yelped, but Tracey wasn't listening. He put Ash on Gary's arms, then picked Goh up and put him on Ash's feet.

" Great! Now, stand still..."

Todd's camera clicked away furiously, each shot capturing the concentration, wobbles, and occasional gasps from the trio. Tracey sketched quickly, his pencil darting across the page, capturing each element of the bizarre yet impressive human tower. He didn't ask if they were ready or if they needed a break; he simply drew, fully absorbed in the moment.

"Tracey," Gary muttered through clenched teeth, "next time... maybe give us a heads-up?"

Tracey barely glanced up, nodding distractedly. "Sure, sure... okay, now Ash, look up and try smiling like you're not about to topple over. Perfect!"

Ash sighed but forced a grin. "Next time I see you drawing, Tracey, I might just walk away."

"Noted," Tracey replied, still not breaking concentration as he worked on his final touches.
