United Destiny: The Hero and The Hybrid

Chapter 42

Garchomp stared at Goomy, then at Mawile, and finally back at Goomy. His look of disbelief hasn't changed at all. "You're kidding right?" Mawile shook her head. "Ok, how is Goomy a Dragon-type?"

Ash rolled his eyes as he watched the exchange. Garchomp was surprised to learn he wasn't the only dragon on the team. His eyes landed first on Krookodile, but after being informed that he was a ground dark type, Garchomp tired to look elsewhere. Eventually, Goomy revealed that he was the dragon. Ash pulled out the Pokedex and after some typing in holding it up for Garchomp to see. "This is Goomy's final evolved form."

Garchomp looked at the image on the screen. On it was a pudgy, bipedal looking Pokemon that had a much closer resemblance to a Dragon. He turned to Goomy finally understanding why he was a Dragon-type. "I can see it now." Garchomp was now curious at what moves Goomy knew, "So mind telling me what attacks you can do?"

"Rain Dance, Bind, Sludge Bomb, and Dragon Pulse." Goomy listed the four moves he knew to his fellow dragon. Goomy was actually thinking about taking part in the next gym battle. Learning two moves in such a short period of time had done wonders for his confidence. "What about you?"

"I know Draco Meteor, Dragon Claw, Poison Jab, and Earthquake," Garchomp answered back.

Ash watched the two continue their conversation with a smile. He went back to eating his breakfast as he thought about what he was going to do in his gym battle. Seeing how it was a Grass-type gym Fletchinder, Hawlucha, and even Frogadier would be the better choices. Though the gym leader had very likely figured ways to counter the Grass-type weaknesses.

On the far side of the room, Serena walked into the room the incubator in her hands. She looked around noticing that Anabel wasn't anywhere to be seen. A smirk formed on her face at this. She put a smile as she walked to Ash. "Morning Ash," She had to push back her urge to throw herself at him, "Are you thinking about your gym battle?"

Ash gave her a nod. "Yep I think I'll have Fletchinder, Goomy, and Frogadier take part in it." Of course, that was if the battle was the standard three on three that most gym battles. "Though if its something else I guess, I'll just adapt to it on the fly."

"Well if you want I'm sure Braixen could help you." Her calmness with this caught Ash's, and Braixen's attention almost immediately followed soon by everyone else's. This was rather unexpected of her. This was picked up by the girl in question who realized that this was out of character for her counterpart. She had to come up with an excuse fast. "I mean we do share a trainer ID so maybe we should think about acting like you know an actual trainer couple?"

She had a light blush of embarrassment before wanting to yell at this. Lucky for her a distraction was made to pull everyone's attention from this. "Serena you're up." Anabel walked in with bags in her arms. She turned to Audino, "The store didn't have any Dragon-type Pokemon food, apparently something got into the store and ate all of it."

"Wait something ate all of it?" Mismagius questioned floating over to Ash and Serena, "You don't think that there's a Pokemon hiding in the city that no one knows about?"

Ash had a nod as that was actually what he was thinking. Serena was thankful that it seemed that everyone had forgotten about her. She looked at Anabel who didn't seem to notice anything different about her. "Do you think we should take a look?" Serena asked, hoping that the group would continue to focus on this.

Mismagius floated over to her head tilted to the side. "Mind if I come along if they are hiding I can find them."

"Sure," Serena gave her a smile. A thought crossed her mind. With this, she could possibly get some fun time with Ash, or possibly lead him into it. "Ash do you want to help?" Serena voice almost slipped into a sultry tone. She managed to catch herself before she gave her thoughts away. 'Arceus, acting like my other self is too hard!'
