Time can't heal every pain (Advanceshipping)

Ohne Titel Teil39

Playing with the apple, Ash wouldn't deny Swellow's wish and the raven-haired trainer stood up before he looked to the lake. Several of May and Ash's Pokémon played within the water and Ash didn't want to interrupt their fun with his little game with his bird.

"Are you sure that I should throw it with all of my strength?" Ash asked again.

The Hoenn Pokémon nodded, although it couldn't know that Ash had a reason to ask.

May and Manaphy looked curiously at the scene, but it looked lovely how the raven-haired trainer played with his Pokémon. However, the brown-haired girl didn't know that Ash would use another aura ability to make things more interesting for his bird.

Concentrating some aura within his right arm, Ash gained some momentum.

"Are you ready, Swellow?" Ash asked, not wanting to throw too early.

After the bird nodded, Ash threw the fruit into the air and May could only barely follow it with her eyes, because after only one second, it was already thirty feet in the air. Using its sharp eyes, Swellow flapped with its wings before he dashed after the object.

"I can't see him anymore ...." May explained amazed. "How is that possible?"

"I have to admit that Swellow has become faster with the years." Ash admitted, crossing his arms and waiting for his Pokémon to return, with or without the fruit. "Uh .... I hope that I didn't throw too hard into the air ...."

Several seconds passed before Ash spotted the bird that flew towards him. It took some time before the trainers noticed that Swellow held the apple within his claws, making Ash proud with his speed and agility.

After Swellow dropped the apple into Ash's hands, the bird landed on the ground.

"It's great to see that you trained your speed and I'm quite sure that you're even faster than Mew." Ash said, caressing the feathers of the bird that accepted the compliment with all happiness in the world.

"(I admit that your Swellow is fast, but he's definitely not faster than me!)"

"Don't be sad, Mew. It's not a shame to be the second to best and there are still other things that you are better at." Ash said teasingly, knowing how competitive Mew had become.

May already sensed the rivalry between them again.

"(I'm the fastest Pokémon in the world and I'll prove it! I'll get the apple earlier than Swellow!)"

"You want to prove it, huh? I'm okay with that, but you aren't allowed to transform or to teleport!" Ash clarified when he threw the apple repeatedly into the air.

"(It won't be necessary, Chosen One! You don't need to wait even one second before I catch it.)"

"Well, let's have it your way, Mew." Ash replied before he gained some momentum again. "Are you ready, Mew?"

"(Born ready!)"

"I didn't know that you were born at all." Ash said teasingly and Mew turned to the boy, but before he could respond to him, Ash swung his arm into the air and the legendary Mew immediately floated quickly into the air as well.

May tilted her head, because Ash started to chuckle.

"What's so funny, Ash?" May asked curiously.

Without answering, the boy turned around and he played with the fruit within his hand. Apparently, the raven-haired trainer made fun of Mew when he didn't throw the apple at all, so that the cat-like Pokémon wouldn't be able to break Swellow's time.
