Ash And Horizons

Galar caves adventure Part 3: Galarian Moltres

While Ash, Liko, Roy, Onia, and Zirc encounters a mysterious Moltres, Friede, his Charizard, Ash's Lucario, May, and Max encounter Amethio.

"Come out, Ceruledge!"

The Fire/Ghost double blade knight pokemon sent out of the pokeball, ready to battle for Amethio.

"Oi oi, we just met after a while and you decide to battle, eh? Not that i mind it for sure, but i rather have a little nice talk before we go to the intense part."

"Less talk, more action."

Friede grinned at his response, kind of expecting this kind of answer.

"Friede-san."

"Hm?" Friede turns to May, who called him out, "What is it?"

"I want to fight this Amethio Guy, i wanna test out the chemistry between me and my latest catch, i hope you don't mind."

Amethio looked at the girl that's talking with Friede, and realized who that girl was.

'That's the Hoenn Princess, and somehow... She's with the Rising Volteccers.'

"Why are you, the Hoenn Princess here with the Rising Volteccers?" Amethio decide to calmly asked the Hoenn Princess, "Are you perhaps one of Ash Ketchum, The World Monarch friends?"

"You guess it right. And worst thing for you to face, was the fact that Ash used to mentor me back when both of us traveled back at Hoenn." May explained while smirking.

Amethio clicked his teeth, "I guess it's expected from the new world Monarch himself. But..." As he clench his fist, and narrow his eyes, he declares, "I'm not backing down!"

"I'll be disappointed if you back down." May snark back. The girl took one of the pokeball as she looked at it.

The pokemon inside that pokemon is a pokemon that made her felt special. A pokemon that really cares for her, the one that she really taking care of like a mother and back then she had to let it go.

That pokemon is Manaphy.

The girl look back towards Amethio as she throw the pokeball.

"I'm Counting on you! Manaphy!"

Manaphy came out of its pokeball and floating happily in the air.

"Manaphy?!"

While Amethio just went a long time for the revelation, Friede slowly has star on both of his eyes, with Charizard also do the same.

"No way! The mythical Pokemon that came from the Hoenn Region!! I really dreamed to see one in front of my eyes this closely!!"

"Rawr!!"

May and Max looked at the man with a sweatdropped, they could see the similarity between Ash and Friede just by how both of them amazed by seeing a pokemon.

"Sis... Are you sure this guy isn't secretly relative of Ash?"

"I keep asking that myself, but i don't know at all."

This question remain a mystery. While May and Max wasn't here with the Rising Volteccers for a long time, May and Max somehow able to point out how similar Ash and Friede were.

But that is a question for another time. As for right now, there's a battle they need to take care of.

"Anyway, time to turn the tide up!"

"Mana!" Manaphy, despite knowing this will be its first battle, ready to face the battle.

"Without further ado! Psycho cut!"
