Aftermath...

Elena watch the scene un fold in front of her and smiled, her loved really knew how to change a person with a beat down and some harsh yet fitting words.

"He really out did himself." Elena said as she retreated towards the forest. "Come now Koyuki, I need to prepare. Ash is going to take me flying tonight."

Koyuki glance towards her 'father' one more time before following her mother towards their campsite.

(Scene Change)

It was now early in the evening, and Brock was preparing the groups dinners. They have reached the centre late afternoon and Ash quickly deposited all of his Pokémon, including his Pikachu, to Nurse Joy in order for them to heal from their injuries and to have a well deserve rest, after that Ash went to bed to rest himself. It was now evening and now Brock was cooking Ash's favourite's food for a rewards for his victory, Dawn on the other hand was a bit... hyper tonight.

"Wow, Ash was amazing, I never saw any of those move that Pikachu perform." Dawn said as she jumped and down with her Pokémon. "I especially like the way he beat Paul to a pulp, finally somebody knock some sense to that jerk."

"Dawn please calm down. I've enjoy the battle as much as you did 'cause I never saw Ash battle like that but Paul didn't deserve to get beat like that." Brock said as he tasted the food that he was preparing.

"Are you kidding Brock, after how he treated his Pokémon? If you ask me Ash should have kick Paul ass even more." Dawn responded. "But I haven't seen those moved that Ash's Pikachu did, it was amazing." Dawn thoughts then drifted back to the battle and those moved that Pikachu executed that overwhelm and overpower Torterra.

"You're not the only one Dawn. I've been travelling with Ash for a long time and even I haven't seen those moved." Brock said as he began serving the food around the table.

"Maybe Ash can teach me some of those improvise move, especially that lightning dragon. That would be so cool in my appeals." Dawn said with star in her eyes.

"Yeah probably but I think Ash and Pikachu train hard to create those move, you may not mastered or execute them like the manner Ash and Pikachu did." Brock stated but Dawn was too positive to listen.

"No need to worry, Brock. If Ash can do it so can I." Dawn declared arrogantly.

"Probably, hey Dawn could you wake Ash up, dinner's ready." Brock said.

Dawn nodded and was about to go to Ash's room in the Pokémon centre but she halted when she saw Ash's Staraptor, who was covered with bandages, flown towards her.

"Hey Staraptor, you should be resting." Dawn said as she patted Staraptor's wings, she then notice a note that was place on Staraptor's feet. Dawn took the note and looked at it curiously. "Hey Brock their's a note on Ash's Staraptor."

"Huh a note, what does it say?" Brock asked as he walked towards Dawn. Brock and Dawn then read what was written on the note.

Don't wait up for me. I'll be goon all night, don't follow me or else I will make you regret it...And that means you Brock... Ash...Ps. I mean it...

After reading the note Brock sigh. "Looks like Ash wouldn't be joining us. Come on Dawn, let it." Brock said casually.

"WHAT AREN'T YOU WORRIED? THIS IS THE SECOND NIGHT IN THE ROW THAT ASH DIDN'T JOIN US FOR DINNER." Dawn yelled at Brock. "I think we should look for Ash."

"ARE YOU NUTS? THE LAST TIME I FOLLOWED ASH I END UP GETTING MY ASS HANDED TO ME AND I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THAT KIND OF BEATING AGAIN." Brock yelled in fear and outrage. "If you want to find Ash go ahead but don't expect me to join." Brock stated.

"Coward." Dawn mumbled but didn't continue her plan to search for Ash. It was getting dark.
