"Big brother look!" Molly brought a berry to her brother, "This looks like a cherry!"
"That's a Cheri Berry," he said taking it from her, "It cures paralysis, so if our pokemon ever get paralyzed we just give them these and they'll feel better."
"That's amazing!" she said.
He put the berry in his backpack, "Let's head back." Before he could start walking he saw Luxray charge at something and before he could tell him to stop he made contact with what he was charging at and began to growl menacingly.
"Luxray, what are you doing?!" Ash yelled not happy at the pokemon's behavior he approached and was about to scold him but then he saw the reason why he charged in the first place. He saw a boy dressed in samurai clothing with a sword next to him. Luxray had the boy completely pinned to the ground he couldn't get up even if he tried.
"On second thought, nevermind," he heard Pikachu and Meowstic agree with him, "Who are you and why are you carrying a dangerous weapon around with you?" Ash said in a demanding tone.
"Y-you misunderstand!" the boy said.
Ash raised a brow, "Really? Doesn't seem like I'm misunderstanding anything. Your carrying a weapon with you that can probably hurt someone really badly, not to mention my sister is here with me and she looks scared out of her mind." He was right Molly was hiding right behind him looking scared, "So I'll ask you again. Who are you?"
"M-my name is Samurai and I'm looking for Ash Ketchum of Altomare of Canal Town." The boy said.
He raised a brow, "I'm Ash Ketchum."
"Then my search is over," he said, "I challenge you to a pokemon battle!"
"Before we do that," Ash started, "Who told you about me?"
"Oh, I challenged That trainer from Pallet Town. The one with the many cheerleaders he told me that I should have no trouble defeating you." he stated.
That information didn't seem to sit well with his pokemon especially Luxray who was tempted to electrocute the boy for believing something so stupid.
Ash merely sighed in annoyance. Gary was really obnoxious sometimes, "Well if you want a battle I'll be happy to oblige."
"I thank you," the boy said.
"Luxray let him up please." Ash said.
The pokemon reluctantly obeyed but he was still eyeing the boy in case he got any funny ideas.
"Molly why don't you stand near Luxray okay?" the girl nodded and went over by the lion who was staring intently at the boy. Just then they heard rustling from the bushes out came Misty with a mallet.
They could do nothing but stare at her in astonishment and wonder. Ash know where was she hiding it?
"Um, Misty?" Ash spoke.
"Are you two okay?" she said still having the mallet in the air ready to strike at any moment.
"yeah we're fine," he responded slowly, "This guy just challenged me to a battle so I agreed. Do you wanna watch?" he asked.
She finally put the mallet down, "As long as your okay then fine, and I wouldn't mind watching."
"Okay then." He made a mental note not to ask where she kept her mallet hidden, he wasn't going to lie he was afraid of the answer she would give him.
Right now the boy named Samurai was on the opposite side of the field while Ash was at the other end.
"This will be a two-on-two battle! Do you accept?" Samurai said from the opposite end.
"I do!"
"Then let the battle begin!"
Molly, Pikachu, Meowstic, and Luxray, and Misty were on the sidelines watching as the battle was about to start. Misty was a little worried because this was the first time Ash was battling another trainer. The kid may have a few screws loose but he looked skilled. Meanwhile Molly and Ash's pokemon weren't really that worried, unlike Misty they had absolute faith in Ash.
"Pinsir, I choose you!" Samurai threw a pokéball and out came to Misty's horror a bug pokemon. She didn't hesitate to scream her head off earning a confused look from Samurai and an annoyed sigh from everyone else.
"Alright then. Pidgeotto, come on out!" out came Ash's flying type Pidgeotto who looked at the bug type in anticipation. She couldn't wait to show her trainer just how strong she is.
Misty was surprised that he was using a flying type instead of either the three pokemon he had with him right now. Another thing she noticed was that he looked calm even relaxed. Why is that?
"You can go first Samurai." Ash said.
"I appreciate your generosity," he bowed, "Pinsir, use Tackle!" the bug type charged at the flying type.
"Use Agility to dodge then Air Slash." He said calmly.
The bird wasted no time in dodging the tackle attack. Having used agility to get in the air quickly her wings glowed blue releasing wind slicers from her wings that hit Pinsir in a direct hit. The bug pokemon was sent back to its trainer's side and had swirls in its eyes as it hit the ground in front of Samurai. It was clearly knocked out.
There was silence for a brief moment before Molly and Ash's pokemon cheered for his victory. Pidgeotto flew back to her trainers side the boy was rubbing her head softly, "That was an amazing Air Slash, I'm so proud of you," he praised. It was no joke she out of all the moves she wanted to work on it was Air Slash and she finally mastered it.
Pidgeotto chirped causing Ash to laugh at her comment. Samurai quietly returned his Pinsir not knowing what to say or how to react to what just happened. This person was no ordinary novice trainer like the brown haired boy had told him.
"You are very skilled," he complemented.
"Thanks, your not so bad yourself."
"Your praise is greatly appreciated," he bowed again taking out another pokéball, "Shall we continue?"
Ash returned Pidgeotto, "Sure thing." Taking out another pokéball himself, "Ready when you are."
Before the boy could take out another pokéball a large mechanical arm shot out of the clearing only for Luxray to jump in the air and use iron tail to smash it to pieces. The lion stood protectively in front of Ash growling at the bushes electricity coursing through its body. Misty, Molly, Pikachu, and Meowstic ran up to them Molly standing next to her brother a pokéball in hand.
"Who dares interrupt our battle?!" Samurai yelled unsheathing his sword, "Show yourself!"
"With pleasure!" a familiar voice spoke causing Ash and Misty to flinch. They recognized those voices, and sure enough a man with purple hair, a woman with pink hair, and a Meowth walked out from the clearing.
"Identify yourselves!" Samurai yelled.
