A New Life

Chapter 17 - Registration and Introductions.

It took them a day to fly to the Indigo Plateau, it would have been quicker but their flying pokemon did need to take breaks as they all had two people sitting on their backs while they were flying.

This was a lot quicker then it would have been on the boat as that would have taken 3 days in all to get here instead of the one day it took using their pokemon.

When they arrived they were not surprised that it was very busy, while at the same time they were as well. They were surprised because this tournament was for the best of the best and there seemed to be a lot of people here for the best of the best. However they were not surprised as this would be the biggest tournament for a long while.

Ash had been looking this battling championship up as he had never heard of it before and it was never explained in either of the letters he was given, nor the ones that his family got either. The tournament of champions only happened every 10 years meaning there was one when he was younger, and too young to remember it. Only top trainers, all gym leaders, all elites and all champions are allowed in this tournament, this meant there were a lot less then there could have been as before Ash there were more champions and more elites.

They went up to the desk for them to register. Ash, Paul, Chase, Gary and Alain were the ones taking part in this tournament.

"Hello there, how can I help you?" The nurse Joy at the front desk asked.

Ash smiled. "Yes me and my friends are wanting to register for the tournament being held here." Ash explained.

"Very well what is your name and rank?" She asked him as she typed away on the computer.

"My name is Red Satoshi. I am the champion of Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and Johto, as well as the Altomare Ace." Ash explained.

Nurse Joy looked shocked and she thought he was making it up but when she checked she found it to be true, she nodded her head and then turned to Paul.

"My name is Paul and I am one of the four new elites chosen by Red." Paul said, gaining a nod when she had seen it on the computer. She then looked to Chase.

"My name is Chase and I am also one of the four new elites chosen by Red, I was also the Altomare Ace before Red." He told her, also gaining a nod before she looked to Gary.

"My name is Gary and I also am one of the four new elites chosen by Red." Gary said to her, she looked at the computer, nodded and then turned to Alain.

"My name is Alain and I am one of Red's chosen elites, I am also a mega evolution trainer." He told her once again getting a nod when she had checked it out.

"It all checks out. You all have private rooms while you stay here. Do you all have partners?" She asked, blushing.

"Yes I have my wife, Paul and Chase are together as are Gary and Alain. However can we please have three more rooms for some friends and our parents?" Ash asked her nicely.

"Of course." She said before going under her desk and grabbing some room keys. "The tournament introductions start in one hour so go and unpack then come down here until you are called." She told them.

"Well hello there beautiful, what is your name?" A voice said from behind the group, a voice that none of them wanted to hear.

When Ash and his group turned around they were met by the faces that haunted them. Brock, Misty, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Serena, Clemont and Delia were all standing there with smiles on there faces.

Ash thought that Brock was talking to Nurse Joy up until the man grabbed Latias' hand and pulled her to him, he snapped when Latias wriggled her hand in pain from where he was holding her.
