Ash's Return {Amourshipping} {On Hiatus Until Further Notice}

Chapter 8

I don't have much to say this time. On to the chapter!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ash hurries and catches up with the group. They all enter the restaurant and get a table.

"So tell us a bit about yourself Kaito." Serena said

"Well, as I've already said I'm from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region. I started my journey at the age of ten and have been traveling for about 7 years."

"Have you been traveling across the regions or just in Kanto?" Misty asked

"I have been traveling across the regions collecting badges, but I haven't competed in a league as of yet." Ash replied

"Why have you not participated in them. They are a good way to test your strength." Brock stated

"I have my reasons, but one of them would be the fact that I didn't want publicity." Ash replied

"I see, that so that is why I've never seen you before." Brock said to which Ash nodded his head

"Could you give us a brief overview of your journey thus far? I'd like to know what you have done for the last 7 years." Clement interjected once Brock was done speaking

"I have traveled the 7 regions of the world and completed the gyms or trials for the Alola Region."

"Trials?" The group asked in unison

"Trials can be compared to gym battles from the other regions. You complete a task given to you by a Trial Captain and once you complete the task, you battle a special Pokemon called a Totem Pokemon. Once you beat the Totem Pokemon you are given a crystal called a Z-Crystal." Ash explained

"Do you have any Z-Crystals?" Dawn asked

"I do, I currently have 22 out of the 29 known Z-Crystals. Furthermore some Z-Crystals can only be used by specific pokemon like Pikachu here." Ash stated

"What kind of Z-Moves can Pikachu use? They might help me in contests." May stated now suddenly interested in the conversation

"Pikachus can use 2 special Z-Moves, Catastropika and 10,000,000 volt Thunderbolt. Catastropika can only be used if Pikachu knows Volt Tackle and 10,000,000 volt Thunderbolt can only be used if Pikachu knows, as the name implies, Thunderbolt." Ash explained to the eager listeners

"How do you perform a Z-Move?" May, Dawn, and Serena asked

"I'll have to show you all after we are done eating in here, as it can get messy."

"Okay." The three girls said in unison

The waiter showed up and asked them what they wanted to eat. They all ordered and got their food several minutes later. While they were eating the topic of Ash came up as usual for the group.

"By any chance have you meet anyone by the name of Ash Ketchum throughout your travels?" Iris asked

"I have meet him once, but that is it. Why?" Ash asked with a fake questioning tone of voice.

"It's nothing important. He was just a good friend of ours who unfortunately died within the last 3 years and we wanted to know if you ever ran into him." Iris said

"If you all were his friends then do you know the reason he left?" Ash asked the group trying to get a response

"Unfortunately no, the last person who talked to him was Serena three years ago before he disappeared." Brock said

"I see, well I am sorry, but he made me promise not to tell anyone where he is." Ash replied with a somber tone

"We were his friends and Serena loved the guy, could you please tell us where he is." Dawn stated

"DAWN! You can't just tell everyone that." Serena exclaimed extremely flustered

"I'm sorry, but I have to keep this promise." Ash explained

"Could you at least tell us if he is alive or not?" Serena asked

"As far as I know, yes he is still alive, though the last time I saw him was a year and a half ago so something may have happened" Ash said

Once everyone was done eating, Ash stood up and said "Alright well it was nice meeting you all, but I need to start training for my next match, so maybe I will see you all later during the tournament." Ash said standing up

"Bye, It was nice to meet you. We hope you do well in the tournament."

"Thank you maybe we will run into each other again, but remember never give up until it's over!" Ash exclaimed before disappearing into blue light

Later that Night:

With Serena:

"How did he know Ash and I's catchphrase? I know he said he meet him before, but still people don't just say a person's catchphrase to the one person it meant the most too." Serena thought

With Ash:

"Why did I say that to them. I'm such an idiot! Now they are going to figure out that it's me and I might put them in more danger than they are already seem to be, as I seem to be a trouble magnet." Ash frantically thought

"Ash calm down! Your aura levels are spiking and you are going to lose control of yourself." Lucario said in a panicked tone of voice while channeling a calming aura in Ash

After a bit Ash finally managed to calm down and fell fast asleep wondering how in the world he is going to keep this whole disguise thing up.
