My dearest

ch.11

 

ENTER SARAH; THE GREATEST GENIUS

"How was work love?" Ash asked as he successfully snuck away from his friends. The group of six are now on

Lilypad Town so that Dawn can compete for her fifth and final ribbon. It was after the quarter finals that Ash had manage to finally get away from the group."You know the usually. We find some text, translate it, and then store the data to our main network, the usual." Elena said as she looked at her lover to the other line. "What about you, where are you now?" Elena asked out of curiosity."In Lilypad Town, my group is here because Dawn needs to win her fifth ribbon." Ash exasperated annoyingly, something that Elena didn't miss."You seemed annoyed." Elena inquired, sensing something in his tone."I've been annoyed since we leave Twinleaf." Ash admitted with frustrated tone. "Our group has now increased from three people to seven." Ash said which caught Elena curiosity."You didn't tell me that in your last call." Elena stated with worry about how those girls act around him. Basing upon the stories that Ash told her about his female friends; Elena could already guess that they have a crush on Ash."Sorry for not mentioning it to you earlier, it was getting harder for me to sneak past them in the last couple of days; even my call time has been reduce since those guys came back to the group." Ash exclaimed with frustration.Elena sighed in frustration as well, that explained why Ash's called had been relatively quick in the last couple of days. "I see, but why are they following you again? I thought this Misty person is the gym leader for Cerulean city, this May girl is competing in the Johto, and this Max kid is at Petalburg City, waiting for his time to go on a journey." Elena asked."There reasons are annoying. Misty said that her gym is closed for renovation and she won't be able to used her facilities for months, May on the other hand is just her because she has nothing to do because the Johto Grand Festival is already over, she only made it until the semi-finals so she went here to further her skills and to catch some Pokémons native here in Sinnoh, Max on the other hand just wanted to tagged along." Ash answered in annoyance."I'm guessing that is not the reason of your annoyance, right?" Elena asked, knowing those reasons were not enough to annoy him.Ash chuckled after hearing that, she could really read him like a book. "You know, I'm glad that you're the only one who could read this well." Ash said gleefully."What do you expect from your lover?" Elena said humorously."You already knew my answer to that question." Ash said with a chuckled.Elena laughed softly at that as well. "So what's the real reason why you're annoyed at your friends?" Elena re-asked her question.Ash expression turned back into an annoyed one. "I'm not really annoyed on the entire group; I'm just annoyed on half of the group." That caught Elena's attention once again. "Since we leave Twinleaf Town, those girls are always sticking to me like glue, it's really aggravating. Misty is always trying to comment on my training while both May and Dawn pester me on teaching them how to used the moves that Pikachu did against Paul and Palmer, their beginning to get on my nerves." Ash said in an aggravated tone.Elena's eyes glint dangerously when Ash told her that those girls are not leaving him alone but still managed to remain calm. "So they have been annoying you as a trainer, they are not doing anything hostile, right?" Elena asked with a sharp tone.Ash, noticing the sharp tone that Elena used, just smiled at her. "Come on Elena, even if they actually like me like that, my feelings for them won't change, to me, those girls are like my sisters." Ash assured her with a comforting tone. Elena smiled at that but still feeling doubt on how those girls intend to do with her Ash."And why would I look at another girl when I intend to marry the person I'm talking to right now. Everything I want and desire from a girl, you already have in spades and you still have some more qualities that I truly adore. If I compare you to them, it'll be comparing a magnificent Goddess to a bunch of kids." Ash said with a soft laughed.Elena smiled at that and shook her head humorously; her Ash is really the epitome of faithfulness. Elena then looked at Ash one more time before noticing something. "Hey Ash, why are you still wearing the clothes you wore in the festival?" Elena asked as she glanced adoringly towards Ash.Ash then looked at her and then looked at his clothes before looking at her again with a goofy smile. "I kinda like this style and look so I'm keeping it. I already bought ten clothes just like this in Twinleaf." Ash said cheerfully."Plus, the scarf you gave me perfectly suits these clothes." Ash added as he emphasizes the scarf that he wore around his neck.Elena laughed as she saw her Ash still wearing the scarf that she made for him. "I'm very glad to you like it." Elena exclaimed happily."And I'm very glad that you're wearing my family heirloom that I gave to you." Ash commended which caused her to looked at the two necklace that she was wearing. Truth on what Ash said, she was wearing the necklace that he gave him during the Twinleaf Festival and the first ever necklace that Ash gave her.She then blushed lightly before touching the two necklace with her right hand. "This two are very important to me. You gave this first necklace to me when we confess to each other that we love each other." Elena said referring to the winged necklace. "This on the other hand is my most prize possession." This time she was referring to the family heirloom that Ash gave her."And I see you're wearing the ring that I gave you during the festival as well." Ash said referring to the ring that Elena was wearing.That caused Elena to giggle. "My friends have been looking at this ring since they saw it; I think they want to steal it and I won't let that happen." Elena replied between her giggles."Good to know." Ash said as he noticed his Pikachu appearing in front of him. "Shit its time." Ash whispered in disappointment."Hey Elena, I'll call you later. It's time for Dawn's battle." Ash said in a disappointed tone."I see, call me later okay." Elena requested, also disappointed."Ash nodded. "I love you." Ash said passionately."I love you too." Elena replied with as much passion.The two of them then hang-up at the same time, Ash then put the phone back to his pocket and looked at Pikachu with an irate expression. "Is it time already?" Ash asked in aggravation."(Yeah, it's time)." Pikachu replied uncaringly. Ash nodded and began walking towards the backstage to support his friend. "(I can't believe you thought them how to used the 'swallowing' manoeuvre, do you know how hard Sceptile work on that technique)." Pikachu said, quite disappointed on Ash teaching them how to used that technique."Don't remind me, partner." Ash said spitefully. "But what choice do I have? After the slaughter we performed during the Twinleaf Battle Tournament, they been pestering me to teach them a thing or two, I don't have a choice." Ash then grinned maniacally like the time he was battling seriously."Still, the three of them had yet to discover the full potential of that technique." Ash said with a grin. "And that is a good consolation prize."Pikachu can't help but grin as well. '(I know those three though that move was a thing of beauty, they still don't know the true applications of that move, the implication of power)." Pikachu said with a laughed."Yeah buddy, were both lucky that those three are very simple minded." Ash said with a laughed as he walked towards the backstage. He and Pikachu was so caught up to their conversation that they didn't noticed that there was someone in front of them, equally busy as the said person was reading some papers on a folder, the said person didn't noticed Ash and Pikachu walking towards her.Ash then suddenly felt something bump into him which caused him to look right in front of him, only to see a black haired girl about to fell and the papers that she was holding was thrown to the air because of the collision. Ash, with his fast reflexes, quickly took the girls hand, preventing her from falling, and took the papers that she was reading before it even passed his head. "Are you okay miss?" Ash asked casually to the girl."Yeah, sorry for that, I was just too busy with those papers." The girl said as she looked at the person she bump with her crimson eyes. She was a bit startled to see a handsome guy with a cute Pikachu on his shoulder.Ash then pulled her up until she could stand properly. "Don't apologized miss; I should be the one apologizing in the first place, I should be paying attention to the direction I walk." Ash said with a smiled.The girl didn't know why but she can't but blush at that smiled and she also felt a strange warmth as the stranger held her hand. "Nevertheless, I'm sorry." The girl said with a smiled of her own.Pikachu knowing where this conversation will lead decided to break it up before another person is added to his 'brother's' ever growing fan club. "(Hey partner, let's moved or well be late)." Pikachu said which caught the attention of Ash."Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Ash exclaimed suddenly much to the girl's surprise. "Here you go miss, sorry again for that again." Ash said as he let go of her hand, much to the girl's disappointment, and giving her the papers that she was reading. Ash then walked pass her but was stopped when the girl spoke."Hey, do you, by any chanced, know me." The girl asked with a confident tone.Ash then glanced back at the girl with a confused expression. "How can I know you? I just met you." Ash said as he ran towards the backstage.The girl was shocked at that, a person, a boy at that, not knowing who she was, that was unheard off. 'How could someone not know me? I thought all the trainers in the world know who I am.' The girl thought still in shock.(Scene Change)"This will not end well." Ash whispered to Pikachu as he saw the opponent that Dawn was about to fight."(Why not, it's only Jessilina and she doesn't have the skill to beat Dawn)." Pikachu stated as she looked at the red haired 'girl'."Normally, that would be true but not in this cased. 'Her' Aura is different, it's much more reserve, calm, and much more powerful." Ash observed as she glanced at his friend's opponent."Hey Ash, what kind of combo do you think Dawn will use next." Max asked as he glanced at Ash. He was very excited to watch a live contest battle again."I'm not a coordinator Max, try to asked May because she's a coordinator. She has a better understanding on how coordinators thing." Ash said as he glanced at his young friend.'Technically, I already know what combo she'll use next. Dawn is way too easy to read but I can't say that out loud.' Ash thought cautiously.May heard what Ash said and smiled, glad that her teacher and her crush acknowledge her skill. "Ash is right, Max. You should ask me when it comes to Pokémon contest; I am a coordinator after all." May remarked proudly."So Misty, what do you think Dawn will do next?" Max asked Misty, completely ignoring what his sister said, much to her aggravation."Hey mister, are you even listening to me?" May stated out of aggravation."Sorry did you say something." Max said dryly as he looked at her sister."Why you little...." May said as she attempted to maul. Luckily for Max, Misty intervened."Quiet down guys, the battle is about to start." Misty exclaimed as she pointed at the MC."We should focus on cheering for Dawn, not trying to maul each other." Brock said as he block May's path from her brother.May glare at her brother while Max just grinned at her mischievously. May would have hit her brother right there and then but Ash prevented it by holding her color and effortlessly pulled her back on her chair.'Note to self, if Elena and me will have kids, teach them how to get along.' Ash thought as he watched the interaction between May and Max.(Scene Change)"Hey Professor, you okay. You've been daze since you returned from the office." Officer Jenny said as she sat beside one of the most talented trainer that the world has ever seen."It's nothing Jen; I just met a person that doesn't know me." The professor said as she fixed her hood, it will be chaos if people will know who she was.Officer Jenny's eye twitch at that nickname, she may be a genius but she still act's likes a child. But she was quite intrigue, there's no self respecting trainer who doesn't know her. "Maybe his not a trainer, there's no trainer who doesn't know you, Sarah." Officer Jenny said as she glanced at the contest battle that was about to start."Maybe..." Sarah said albeit still uncertain.(Scene Change)"What did I tell you, chaos?" Ash said as he watched the pitiful battle that was right in front of him."(Okay, your right, don't rub it in)." Pikachu sighed as he watched Mamoswine attack his opponent in an uncoordinated way. "(This is getting him nowhere, he'll either be knock out by the recoil damage caused by the Take Down or all their points will turn into zero)." He concluded as he watched this battle."Pikachu be ready, when Dawn's Mamoswine is angry, he lost his common sense." Ash whispered already thinking a plan that would most likely stop Mamoswine if he ever rampaged."(Could we just hit him with Heavens Cannon? I've been dying to use that move)." Pikachu requested."Not an option." Ash bluntly stated."This is bad, if Mamoswine keep this up, Dawn will surely lose." May said in dread as she watched Mamoswine's uncoordinated attacks."Yeah, Dawn is losing tons of points. If this keeps up, she'll lose." Misty said, worry about her friends performance."What is Mamoswine doing? Why is he listening to Dawn orders?" Max asked, confused on why Mamoswine won't listen to his trainer."It's because of rage Max. Pokémons tend to act blindly whey their angry." Brock answered in dismay."That's not a very good reason why a Pokemon should disobey its trainer." Max said as he looked at Dawn who was trying to desperately calm her Mamoswine."Regardless, it's over." Ash whispered silently as the time expired."The time has expired and the winner is Jessilina and her Carnivine." Vivian announced which caused the crowd to cheer for 'Jessilina'.Ash and Pikachu separated from their friends when he saw Mamoswine's eyes darken.(Scene Change)"Well that was anti-climatic." Officer Jenny said in disappointment."That Dawn girl depended too much on that combo moved causing her the victory. It was very predictable that she'll used the same moved causing her opponent to think of a counter." Sarah exclaimed as she took poke ball from her pocket."Jen, please back away before things gets ugly." Sarah requested already predicting what will happen next.(Scene Change)Dawn sighed in disappointment, she had suffer another loss and to 'Jessilina' of all people. She will not let her hear the end of this. She sighed once more as she glanced at her Mamoswine, she's got to work on his rage and his temper next time.Dawn then approach the behemoth and laid her hand on his fur."You did well, Mamoswine." Dawn said in a comforting way with a hint of disappointment on her tone.Dawn didn't anticipate what Mamoswine did next. Mamoswine suddenly rose up and roared furiously, startling Dawn, Jessilina, Marian, the judges and the crowd, he then slammed his two feet causing a small earthquake that shattered the ground beneath him, and it also caused Dawn to stumble down her feet. Mamoswine then charge towards Carnivine with another Take Down attack.James, disguise as Jessilina, was so caught up in celebrating his (or her, whatever suits you guys well0 victory that he didn't noticed Mamoswine charging towards his Carnivine, Carnivine as well was caught up in celebrating that he didn't noticed the upcoming attack as well."MAMOSWINE, DON'T...." Dawn shouted as she struggle to get Mamoswine's Poke ball from her pocket.It was too late for that as Mamoswine collided with the unexpected Carnivine with a devastating Take Down, knocking it out with just one blow. Carnivine was propel towards 'Jessilina' (James) who had witness the cheap shot."Carnivine, are you okay?" James asked, not even bothering to hide his voiced. He was worried about his friend after that devastating attack. James was so busy tending to Carnivine that he didn't noticed that Mamoswine was charging towards him."Jessilina, watched out." Dawn said as she managed to run in front of Jessilina in order to stop her rampaging Pokémon. Unfortunately, because of blind rage, Mamoswine didn't notice his trainer and was proceeding to attack. Dawn closed her eyes and prepared for impact but a voiced cut through the dread atmosphere of the arena."Pikachu, Voltage Drill." A voiced that was familiar to the two shouted. In an instant, a furiously spinning voltage of electricity crash towards Mamoswin, pushing him back all the way to the other end of the arena. The spinning voltage then did a turn around and landed towards Ash, who was standing beside Dawn with a psychopathic grin on his face."Dawn ready Mamoswine's Poke ball." Ash stated not even looking at Dawn. "Jessilina, get the hell out of here," Ash demanded harshly.James, already witnessing that grin on Ash's face while battling, decided to concede and run towards the backstage. Ash and Pikachu then walked towards the outrage Mamoswine."Ash, what are you going to do to my Mamoswine?" Dawn asked, worrying about her Pokémon, she had seen Ash's skill and Pikachu's real power (as far as she knows) and she knows that this will not be a battle, it'll be a slaughter."I'll contain him for you." Ash said as Mamoswine glare at him venomously.Mamoswine once again roared and charge towards Ash and Pikachu in blind rag. Ash merely smirked, it was finally time to used that moved the he and Pikachu had been working on in Twinleaf.As Mamoswine was just mere seven feet away from Ash, Ash made his moved. "Pikachu, Static Magnet." Ash commanded. Pikachu went down in to his four paws and instantly glow bright yellow which caused every metallic and steel minerals and materials inside the arena to glow yellow as well. Pikachu then moved his tail which caused every steel and metal concrete to be pulled towards Pikachu like a magnet. "Now used those metal concrete to restrain our large friend." Ash ordered and with that, Pikachu moved his tail again which caused the steel concrete to be directed towards Mamoswine. The steel concrete then crash to Mamoswine, the steel concrete then bended to successfully covered Mamoswine's entire body, halting his movement completely.Mamoswine then crashed to the ground, together with the steel concrete that was covering him. He landed right in front of Ash. The crowd gasped in awe at what they witness before giving Ash a wil applauseAsh ignored the applause and look at Mamoswine with a hard gazed. "Calm down, you lost, deal with it." Ash whispered harshly at the large Pokémon, he then glanced at Dawn. "Returned him to his Poke ball before he breaks lose." Ash requested as he walked passed her.Dawn nodded and took Mamoswine's Poke ball from her pocket and was about to returned her but was halted when he suddenly fired an Ancient Power towards Ash. Dawn who saw the attach, quickly dodge for her own sake. The attack was then headed towards Ash.Ash gazed at the attack pitifully, the attack may be beautiful but it lacks power. Ash was about to order Pikachu for an attack but was stopped when he heard a voice yelled."Dragonite, protect that handsome man, propel the attack with Dragon Rage." A large Dragonite then appeared in front of Ash protectively. Ash then saw the aura of the Dragonite that was in front of him and judging from what he saw, he could already tell that the Dragonite was top class and extremely powerful, easily legendary level.The Dragonite then fired a ball of fire towards the attack. The Dragon Rage then cancelled the attack and has enough power left on it to hit Mamoswine, causing smoke to appear as the attack hit.Ash then looked at the person who helped him from the attack, he was startled to see that the same person he bump with was the same person who helped him. "Thank you miss but I could have handle that." Ash said as he recovered his composure and bow to the person in front of him in thanks for her assistance. Ash could have sworn that he heard a giggle coming from her. She then took her hood off and Ash could hear several gasp."No worries handsome, it was my pleasure." Sarah stated with a smile, which caused half the boys in the arena to faint. She then returned her Dragonite to her Poke ball and proceeded to walk away, now that her identity had been reveal, it was dangerous for her to be in public.Ash looked at her one more time before looking at the Knock out Mamoswine who was being tended by Nurse Joy and Dawn. 'That Dragon Rage was powerful, even the steel concrete was burn into ashes.' Ash thought as he approach Dawn.(Scene Change)"Nurse Joy, is my Mamoswin okay?" Dawn asked worriedly as she glanced at the Pokémon nurse. After Dawn had returned her Mamoswine back to his Poke ball, the group had rush towards the Pokémon center for him to be treated."Your Mamoswine is fine young lady; he just needed a good rest." Nurse Joy exclaimed with a cheerful tone. That caused the group to sigh in relief."But please, next time, restrain him before he goes into a rampage." Nurse Joy scolded softly."No need to worry Nurse Joy, I promise I'll work on his temper next time." Dawn said as he rubbed the back of her head."That's good to hear Dawn, if it weren't for your friend over there," Nurse Joy pointing at Ash, "You might be on a hospital bed right now." Nurse Joy said, that caused Dawn and the group to look at Ash who was looking at the window."Hey Ash, how could Pikachu do those tricks?" Max asked in an excited tone, he had just saw Pikachu moved like a spinning drill and control metal and he was very eager to learn the secrets of those tricks."Tricks," Ash said confusedly to his little friend. "They are not tricks Max." Ash stated calmly. The group was confused by that but before Ash could further explain, a voice cut through the air."There not tricks young one, their combos at the highest caliber." A female voice said. The group turned their heads towards the sourced of the voiced and they were shocked to see who it was, well except one."Hello miss, I see we meet again." Ash greeted the lady who helped him calmed Dawn's Mamoswine."Hey handsome, I see we meet again." Sarah greeted cheerfully as she glanced at Ash and his friends."Ash, you know her?" Misty asked, awestruck at the person in front of her. How could such big shot be in the same town as them?"No, I just bump into her during the contest, why? Do you guys know her?" Ash asked confused at his friends' reaction to the stranger in front of them.Sarah smiled, seeing that the handsome boy really doesn't know who she was and was about to introduced herself but was cut out by the screams of Ash's friends."YOU DON'T KNOW HER? HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW HER?" Ash's friends screamed at him in unison, seriously, how stupid could a person be.Ash was a bit startled at his friends' reaction and raised his hand in defense. "Well for starters, I just met her this morning." Ash said in his defense as he back away from his friends.The five of them just looked at Ash like he was an idiot. "How could a trainer like you not know who she is? She is probably the most gifted and talented trainer in this era." Max said as he shook his head at the ignorance of Ash."Even I know her." May exclaimed as she pointed at the girl. "She had won every Grand Festival there is, her performances was said to be one of kind." May exclaimed as she looked at Sarah with adoration."That's not all; she had also won every Pokémon League under two years and had collected every badge in the four regions." Misty said, shocked that the strongest female trainer was at her presence."She was also unbeaten for six years before having her first loss against Cynthia. She became a Pokémon researcher after her rematch against Cynthia, which ended up as a tie but that battle was considered to be the best Pokémon Battle in the history." Dawn added, her eyes were focus on the girl in front of her, meeting such a legend such as her amaze her to know end."She also has the record of the fastest battle ever and that was against an Elite Four member." Max exclaimed like a fan."She is also one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever seen in my life." Brock said as his entire faced turn red.Ash glanced at the girl as his friends rant about her achievements and what he saw totally shock him. The girl's expression was complete and utter dismay and she uncomfortable as she heard his friends rant about her. Ash smiled as he stood up and walk towards her, the face, and the background of achievements, he already knew who she was.As Ash stopped mere inches away from her, he extended his hand and smiled at her. "My friends seemed to know your background but I really could care less about that." That caused Sarah and his friends to look at him like he was crazy. "But I would like to know the name of this lady in front of me." Ash said politely as he extended his hands towards her like a gentleman.'I want to hear the name of my future sister-in-law.' Ash added in his thoughts.Sarah was quite shock at that, trainers who had actually heard or knew of her achievements would have asked her some tips, or asked her for an autograph, or worst, flirt with her, but this boy, the most handsome boy that she had ever met, had just heard of her unbelievable achievements and just wanted to know her name. It was unreal for her, a person who had lived in fame for the past eight years of her life."Your friends seemed to know my name, you should just asked them." Sarah said, trying to fight back a blush.'I can't believe I'm blushing, I never blush, especially at boy. Although, he is probably the hottest boy I have ever laid my eyes on.' Sarah thought as she was being mesmerized by Ash's brown eyes.Ash chuckled softly at that. "I know that, they probably know your name but their your fans, I don't want to hear your name from the mouth of your fans, I want to hear your name from the lips of this beautiful lady." Ash said with a smooth tone. Max made a puking sound after hearing that while the girls just looked at Sarah with a jealous expression and Brock was writing all of Ash's words in a notepad, this was pure gold.Sarah finally blushed at that. She was an expert in reading people that was why she was such a dangerous opponent, and she could tell that this boy was not lying. Sarah finally conceded and told him her name."My name is Sarah Koshi, but please call me Sarah. I don't want anyone calling me by my last name." Sarah said as she took Ash's hand shook it. As she felt Ash's hand, she felt amazing warmth that she hadn't felt before which caused her to blush even more.Ash smiled brightly at her, he was right. 'Elena will never believe this.' Ash though with a chuckled.Ash then leaned towards her ear and whispered. "My name is Ashura Satoshi Ketchum." Ash whispered as he shook her hand. "But please call me Ash or Ash Ketchum, I also hate it when people calls me by my whole name." Ash stated as he shook her hand.Sarah blush furiously after feeling the breath of Ash on her skin, it literally sends shiver down her spine.'I never actually believe in 'love at first sight' but hell, I'm not complaining.' Sarah thought with a bright smile.PLEASE REVIEW.....
