After their exploration into Granite Cave, Ashlyn gave Steven his letter, Steven and Winona went to the gym to talk to Brawly and May sent the Loudred to her dad telling him a little about him before she went to her room to head to bed. That morning Nurse Joy knocked on Ashlyn's door with good news for her
"You wouldn't believe it Ashlyn but he can talk human language" Nurse Joy said smiling giddy
"Thank you Nurse Joy" Ashlyn said smiling at the nurse before she stepped into the room
"So you're the kid who save me" Meowth said his voice slightly high but not in pleasant
"Yes I am my name is Ashlyn Aurora Ketchum" Ashlyn said before she sat down on the chair next to his bed
"Ketchum like the champion?" he asked looking at her wide eyed
"H-How do you know that?" Ashlyn asked now very guarded
"He-He saved me and a friend from Team Rocket" Meowth said making Ashlyn stiffen again
"How did you end up in Hoenn?" she asked still guarded
"My friend and I were ambushed a few weeks ago and we got separated and I guess I landed into the water cause all I remember is drowning" he said his voice becoming raspy making Ashlyn get him a glass of water
"Rest for now I can tell nurse Joy to take extra good care of you" Ashlyn said smiling now
"You know you have your dad's smile. I thinks his smile was the thing that stuck with me and my friend made us trust him" Meowth said before Ashlyn smiled some more as he dozed back to sleep
On the way back to her room Ashlyn couldn't stop thinking about what Meowth had said her papa saved him and his friend, did Meowth know anything about that day did his friend know anything. Those thoughts kept repeating themselves in her mind as she got ready for her gym battle especially since her aunt Winona and uncle Steven would be watching too
"Ashlyn-nee who are you going to use?" Max asked before noticing that his eldest sister seemed distracted
"Ashlyn?" Alain asked nudging her shoulder with his
"Hm?" she asked once she was focused
"Is something wrong?" May asked worriedly
"No nothing and as for your question Max that's a surprise" Ashlyn said as they entered the gym building
"Children this is Brawly the Dewford Town gym leader" Winona introduced before glaring at a powerfully built young man, who has blue spiky hair and blue eyes, wearing orange goggles on his head, which ties part of his hair back. He has on a black and orange surfing outfit, with gloves of the same color. He also wears blue shorts with black and orange shoes, in shapes of feet.
"Hey like sorry for making you wait and not getting a sub" Brawly said scratching the back of his head
"It's alright just don't let it happen again" Ashlyn said as they made their way to the opposite ends of the battle field
"You first dudette" Brawly said before Ashlyn took out a pokeball
"Persian I choose you!" Ashlyn said as she released her father's pokemon and now her pokemon
"Machop" Brawly called out before he released his Machop

"Brawly is underestimating her" Steven said as he watched
"Well he doesn't know Persian like we do" Winona said smiling
"Persian is her oldest pokemon older than Ashlyn in fact" May said smirking
