Aiko's Kalos Journey - Part 1

Season 1 - Chapter 21: The Forest Champion

(A/N)

Aiko is in her Vaporeon form at the start of the chapter.

I'll just say this now and since Lucario is one of my favorite Pokemon. Aiko will probably be switching back and forth between her Eeveelution forms and her Lucario form.

Please enjoy Chapter 21: The Forest Champion

Flashback Start:

Once the next morning came around we parted ways with Korrina and Lucario so that Ash could train to defeat Korrina. "When we have our Gym Battle I want Aiko to fight Lucario in her Lucario form. I want to see who's the better Lucario" Korrina said in a challenge. "You're on!" Me and Ash said at the same time. With that said, we part ways with Korrina and continued on our journey.

Flashback End:

"The next town is just through this forest. Let's hurry it up" Ash said over his shoulder. I bounded up next to Ash and began to walk next to him. We walked further into the forest and after we had been walking in the forest for a bit Dedenne started to point something out. "Hmm?" Bonnie hummed in response, "What's up?". I looked to my left after hearing some pokemon and saw a Patrat holding an Oran Berry and placed it inside a tree that was filled with berries.

"The pokemon around here seem to be really good friends," Serena commented. "It's nice to see them working together. Before I found you guys I always had to look for food for myself but they have a system; that's pretty cool" I said. "It is pretty cool Aiko. It's fascinating, the way they all help each other out gathering berries from the trees" Clemont said. "We should probably go and leave them to it" I suggested. "I agree with Aiko guys," Ash said. I sent a thankful smile towards Ash and we went on our way.

As we continued on through the woods I stopped when I heard the roar of a MUCH bigger pokemon and the fear-filled screams of the pokemon we just left. "What was that!" Serena shouted. "Trouble" I simply said and launched forward back towards where the pokemon were. We all ran back to the part of the path that overlooked the clearing were the pokemon was and I saw a large pokemon in the tree. "Look! There they are!" Serena shouted, pointing up.

My eyes followed to where Serena was pointing and I saw the three pokemon from before up on the tree branch shivering in fear. I started growling in anger and jumped down into the clearing, ignoring everyone's calls to come back. I landed behind the giant pokemon and shouted, "Who are you, and why are you stealing their berries!" I yelled angrily. The mass started to move and I got into a fighting position and watched as the head of an Ursaring with a satisfied look on its face as it looked at the berries in its arms.

"Put those berries back or you'll regret it" I snarled. The Ursaring just looked at me and started to laugh. "Big mistake bud" I whispered. But before I could do anything, the figure of a pokemon jumped from one of the trees surrounding the clearing and landed on top of the tree where the pokemon were. I watched as the pokemon spread its wings out in an arrogant way. "Whoa! What is that?" Ash asked in awe. "A show-off, that's what it is" I muttered.

"Who's that Pokemon?" Ash said...again. After the PokeDex had finished its explanation Ash looked at the Hawlucha in confusion. "But it looks different from the Pokedex," Ash said. I looked up at the Hawlucha and noticed that what Ash said was right. This Hawlucha was wearing a mask. I continued to watch as the Hawlucha gripped its mask and threw it off, resulting in the mask exploding into leaves. "I'm not even going to try and understand how that mask was made," I said to myself.

"Wowee! It's a leaf mask!" Bonnie said in awe. "Yeah, what an awesome Pokemon" Ash said, making me gain a tic-mark on my forehead. "I wonder if Hawlucha's planning to get the berries from Ursaring and give them back to Patrat and the other two" Clemont commented. We continued to watch as the Ursaring let out a loud roar of anger. This just caused the Hawlucha to jump off the top of the tree and glide down towards the Ursaring.
