Sinnoh League Chronicles

Regaining Infernape's Trust!

That night was particularly long, especially for Paul and Ash. They were both waiting patiently for Nurse Joy to tell them how Infernape was doing. Pikachu and the other Pokémon were doing fine.

Paul asked, "So I guess I owe you a story, huh?"

Ash answered, "Only if you are okay with telling me and the others."

Paul nodded as he asked, "Would it be okay to tell them all together?"

Ash stated, "Sure, that's fine." There was a pause as Paul kept staring at Ash. Ash felt a bit uncomfortable and questioned, "What is it?"

Paul shook his head as he replied, "You know, when we were battling earlier, I could've sworn you were glowing blue."

Ash looked puzzled for a moment before he realized, "Oh you saw my aura..."

Paul raised an eyebrow, "You have aura?"

Ash confirmed, "Yeah, I'm a descent of Sir Aaron."

Paul's eyes went wide at that. Just as he was about to say something, Nurse Joy came over. Ash and Paul sprung to their feet.

Ash asked, "Nurse Joy, how's my Infernape?"

Nurse Joy answered, "Infernape is fine. As long it takes it easy for a while, it will have a full recovery."

Both Paul and Ash exchanged sighs of relief.

Paul asked, "Can we see it?"

Nurse Joy smiled and answered, "Of course!"

She led us into Infernape's room and saw Infernape resting. It woke up and saw Ash. It smiled and then perked up. It saw Paul.

Infernape's POV

What was Paul doing here? Hadn't he insulted me enough? And Ash was standing there, actually approving of him being here!

I asked, in my language, "What's he doing here?"

That's when I pointed to Paul, angrily. Ash saw this and put his hands up defensively.

He started to say, "Infernape, Paul has something to tell all of us..."

I snarled and told Ash, in my language, "If it is more insults, I'm not in the mood to listening to it."

Paul tried to say, "Infernape..."

I snapped as I yelled, in my language, "You've made it perfectly clear that you never cared about me! That's why you let me go! And from that day forward, I vowed that Ash and I would prove you wrong! And now that I did, I don't ever want to see you ever again!"

Ash turned to me as if he understood me and protested, "That's not fair to him, Infernape."

I was getting mad as I responded, in my language, "The way he treated me wasn't fair!" I turned away from them and added, in my language, "Get out of my sight."

Ash tried to say, "But Infernape..."

I turned back around and yelled as loud as I could, "Get out!"

With that, Ash ran out. But, before Paul could run out, I snarled at him.

He pleaded, "Infernape, please listen to me! Or at least listen to Ash!"

I found myself angry, so I got my Blaze activated to really make my point clear.

I yelled, in my language, "What part of 'get out' did you not understand?"
