Twinleaf Tournament begins...

Ash looked at the sky as he and his friends walked towards the field were the little tournament if going to be held. He was trying to ignore Barry's annoying tantrum that he would win this tournament and earned the right to face his father, which shocked Ash. Who would have thought that the loud mouths father is a frontier brain?

"Hey Ash, what posses you and decided to have a wardrobe make-over?" Barry asked, finally noticing Ash's major wardrobe improvement.

Ash merely looked at his rival with a bored expression. "I don't know, this look is just good on me." Ash said with a bored tone.

"Really or you just change you looks to impress your pretty friends." Barry said in a teasing manner but also caused the girls to blush as well, that was a possibility. Gary and Brock on the other hand just pity their ignorance.

"Huh, did you say something." Ash said with an uninterested impression.

That gesture seemed to mildly annoyed Barry but manage to keep his cool. "Okay wise guy, I do hope that you could manage to win until you battle me again and this time….." Barry was interrupted by Ash.

"You mean this time I'll beat you again like the last time we battled, only this time, more easily." Ash said without even looking at him.

"That's not….."

"That's exactly what mean, thanks for the motivation Barry, I promised I'll kick your Jiboroni, candy, ass in five moves." Ash said with a chuckled as he walked away, he felt three familiar Aura's in the perimeter.

Barry was now irritated at what Ash said. "Get your ass here mister and let's battle." It was already to late, Ash had left the group.

"Hey Brock, does this happen a lot here in Sinnoh." Misty, May, Max asked as they watched the temper tantrum of their new acquaintance.

"You have no idea." Brock and Dawn both replied.

(Scene Change)

"You guys should not have destroyed an engine that was a bit too much." Elena stated as her Salamence flew towards the town.

"You want a reason to watch the little Prince of yours battle, I just provided the means to do so." Natasha exclaimed with a relief sighed, she was finally back on Elena's good side.

"That's go and all but do you really have to smash the engine that badly, I have to buy five different parts to fix the damage." Adan whined as he looked at the blueprints of the damage.

"You didn't tell me what parts I shouldn't smash so I just smash things at random." Natasha reasoned with an apologizing smile.

"If it weren't for the fact that we're on top of a dragon, I would have slapped you right now." Adan exclaimed in annoyance.

"You won't do that to an old friend." Natasha said with cutely with matching puppy dog eyes.

"Don't tempt me woman." Adan said clearly upset about the damage.

"You two calm down, I'm about to land." Elena said as she ordered her Salamence to land on the secluded area near where the tournament is being held. Her Salamence nod and land on an isolated area.

"Here's the plan, Natasha will buy the equipment that she had smash and me and Elena will watched my nephew battle." Adan declared much to Natasha's dismay but this was also part of her apology.

"Fine, at least I get to rest for a bit." Natasha exclaimed.

"That's the spirit." Elena said Koyuki helped her down to the ground. As her feet touch the ground, a pair of arms wrapped themselves to her waist.

"You really love surprising me, do you?" Ash said as he embraced her passionately from behind.

Elena leaned to the embraced and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Yeah, I don't want to miss you battle." Elena stated as she closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth that Ash is giving her.

Natasha was startled to see Ash but when she saw Ash's quick movement on Elena, it almost caused her to squeal but was stop by Adan's quick hands. "Don't disturb their moment again." Adan lectured as he tried to ignore the two. Natasha nodded and Adan had quickly removed his hands from her mouth.

Ash and Elena would have remained on this position for a longer time if it weren't for one small little detail.

"CALLING ASH KETCHIM AND BARRY FOR THE FIRST MATCH OF THE TWINLEAF FESTIVAL, CALLING ASH KETCHUM AND BARRY FOR THE FIRST MATCH OF THE TWINLEAF FESTIVAL."

Ash and Elena both groaned at that. They were beginning to enjoy their little moment and that stupid announcer had to ruin it.

Ash looked at Elena in an apologizing manner. "Wait for me, I'll end this quick." Ash whispered as he made his way towards the field.

"Ash, wait." Elena called out as she dashed towards him, taking something out of her coat.

"What is it?" Ash asked as he turned around and was met by Elena putting something around his neck.

"For good luck." Elena whispered as she fixed the scarf around Ash's neck. Ash smiled at the feeling of the soft cloth around his neck and kiss Elena lightly on the lips before dashing towards the field for his first battle of the day.

"I don't know what scares me the most, the fact that Elena and Ash have kept this relationship for two and a half years without us noticing or the fact that Ash, with that scarf, is the carbon copy of Alexander." Adan said with a chuckled.

"Yeah, I know. The hair, the clothes, the eyes, and now with Alexander's signature white scarf, I feel like it's the second coming of Alexander the Theatrics. " Natasha exclaimed excitedly.
