Ash and Clemont were practicing to prepare Ash for the Kalos league
"Alright, Hawlucha Flying Press!" Ash said as Hawlucha launched into the air
"Heliolisk use Flash," Clemont said as Heliolisk flashed the falling Hawlucha
"Hawlucha now," Ash said as Hawlucha did its signature spin and then landed the attack on Heliolisk
"Clever using the spin to dodge the Flash Ash" Clemont said
"Thanks, Clemont," Ash said rubbing his nose a little
"Whatcha making there Serena?" May asked as she saw Serena sewing something
"Hawlucha asked to make something for the Lumiose Conference so I'm trying to make this costume for it," Serena said

"Oh you know what would be cool if you added some blue in there," May said pointing to a spot on the costume "You know it kinda matches with Ash"
"I think I prefer it keeping it to just yellow and orange," Serena said shrugging her off
May was a little curious if she said something wrong but didn't get to think it through fully "I want to battle too!" Bonnie said interrupting everyone
"Hmm well..." Ash said as he returned Hawlucha and Clemont returned Heliolisk "We could use the breather, we've been training for awhile
"Max do you have a Pokemon you can use too?! I have Dedenne," Bonnie asked
"Uh," Max said
"Not like you but Max can use one of mine," May said
"Really?" Max said as May nodded with a smile "I already know which one I'm going to pick!"
"Has Max battled before?" Serena asked
"Yeah a few times, he's not a trainer so he's still learning," May said
"Bonnie has had her practice with me and the times she's battled team rocket," Clemont said
"I would guess they're pretty even," Ash said as the siblings looked at him
"But you think my brother will win right Ash?" May said getting in his face
"No, he knows my little sister got this" Clemont said as Ash started to shrink into the wall
"I think it's best if they just show us what they can do," Serena said to put the pressure off Ash
"I'll referee to be more fair" as Ash ran to the spot
Bonnie and Max stood in their spots each holding a Pokeball as if it was an official battle
"Alright, one on one battle I'll decide when it's over, Begin!" Ash said
