The Mysterious Boy [An Ash / Pokemon Story]

~Why Are You That Strong?!~

Lillie's POV

"Gladion, if someone, or wait, let's just say, if you are challenged by that boy, will you accept his challenge?" The first ever question came out from my mouth, the others are still talking about some identities of the boy, I can hear them sharing ideas, but I can't really hide my curiosity forever, at least, I can receive answered from my brother, because I can't stay calm if I can't have any answers, I don't know what will brother do.

"What kind of question is that? Of course yes, I can't wait to test how strong he really is." Gladion said proudly, of course, that is his nature, but since those things they said a while ago are pretty true to be trusted, I'm doubting that brother will win this one.

"And what if you'll lose brother?" I asked one more time, that made his face get serious, it took a while before he can answer my question.

"And I will formally and personally congratulate that trainer, in fact it's been a long time since I lost to a trainer." Gladion said while his head is down, now that is one another side of brother, that made me feel better, I wish that that trainer will defeat my brother, so that I can experience another side of brother.

"But, you know I won't give up that easily, at least, it'll be a challenge for me, and also for him, I'll make it count." Gladion said, giving accent to the word 'but', that made me jump in surprise but moment later, regained consciousness and smiled.

"Of course brother, I'll even cheer on you!" I beamed at him, but I really wish that boy will defeat him, it's not that I'm on that boy's side, I just want to make brother be changed with the help of him and his pokemon, this is another chance, that made him smile back, it's been a very long time since I see brother smile, I wish that me, no, brother can stay like that forever.

"So any plan?" I can hear the voice of May asking suggestion, that made us realize that we are off topic, so we fix ourselves and then focused back on the topic.

"I can't think of another plan... I'm completely lost of ideas." Serena said with a frown, that's the time Gary comes in.

"I do have a plan, but I think it'll not work." Gary said as he put a hand on his chin, as if he is thinking about his plan, whether it'll work or not, hearing it from Gary, I don't think it'll work out fine.

"Finding this boy's identity sure is hard, but maybe we can find another specimen that might trace to that boy." Gary suggested, making all of us think about his suggestion,.I don't think that'll work out, he needs to justify is suggestion.

"Sounds a good plan, but we don't know how, justify your suggestion." May said as he pointed out Gary, what I thought is what she said, thanks for repeating it May. I looked at Gary and noticed him, smirking.

"Now I've thought about that, according to my plan, I'm expecting that you'll ask that kind of question, that's why I've readied this one, if we start another ruckus, and time, of course, he'll show up, and then that'll be our chance, then we'll trap him! Done!" Gary explained, and then cheered at the last part, that's a stupid plan, I know May will ask something about it...

"And how about those supernatural things he always do? Like disappearing and reappearing everywhere? Any ideas how to counter that Mr. Intelligent Boy?" May asked, not really sure if she'll follow Gary's plan, and as I thought, she'll ask that question, I mean, how can you make a stupid plan if you know that the person you're going to catch can do 'that' thing? And now, that question made Gary sweat-drop. Now we caught him, nice plan.

"That... I don't know..." Gary simply said, that made May fume in anger and about to throw a pen to Gary, Gary readied his hands in defense, but May decided not to do it.
