A Top Class Trainer

The group of seven was now walking towards the Pokémon preserve. The girls and Max were all looking at Sarah like star truck fans while Brock was itching to express his love to her but was halted by the presence of his Croagunk who was itching to hit his trainer with a Poison Jab, he just needed the reason to do it. Ash on the other hand was having a light conversation with Sarah, oblivious of her ulterior motives.

Sarah was enjoying her conversation with the young man (with that kind build, she can't call him a boy) beside her, he was the most interesting person she had ever met. She was very adept in reading people, she could read people's emotions like a snap of her finger and the only exception was her younger sister, but this boy, for the life of her, she can't read him. It's like he was purposely acting like an idiot but he was not, by all means, stupid, he was very complex and unpredictable which spark her curiosity.

"Hey Ash, I know how your Pikachu did that Voltage Drill by combing Quick Attack, Volt Tackle, and Thunderbolt, but you still hadn't explain to me how your Pikachu could control metal like that." Sarah asked, furthering their conversation. The group seemed interested by this, especially May and Dawn who wanted to learn how Ash trained his Pikachu perform those stylish yet powerful moves.

Ash chuckled a bit, Elena was right, she is a curious one. "Even if I tell you the secret of that move, you or any other people can't duplicate it with any Electric Pokémon. Pikachu and I had work for years to get that move working, right buddy." Ash stated which earned a proud nod from Pikachu.

Sarah giggled at that, he was a true trainer. No self-respecting trainer would reveal the secret of theirs to anyone. His friends on the other hand, groaned in disappointment.

"Come on now Ash, were all friends here you can tell us anything." Max pleaded with puppy dogs eyes.

Ash just shook his head in disappointment at his friends pleads. "Sorry Max, I can't tell you how I trained Pikachu to do all of those techniques; it wouldn't be fair for Pikachu. Pikachu and I trained years to master even a single moved that the only reason why we're only using it now." Ash remarked with a serious expression.

The group understand what Ash said and decided to let it be but Max was annoyingly persistent. "Come on Ash, just give me a tip." Max begged annoyingly.

Ash just ignored him and walked away from the group, he might say something that he might regret. Max was clearly upset at Ash's gesture.

"That jerk, I just wanted some tips." Max said, clearly angered at what Ash did.

"You can't understand him because you're not a trainer, little boy." Sarah said with a hint of annoyance in her voice, she was enjoying the conversation the she and Ash was having.

"What do you mean, I don't understand?" Max asked, his anger wavering because one of his idol was actually talking to him.

"That Ash boy is a top class trainer; you would not understand his reasons for not telling you his techniques because he had work so hard to master them, a person who's not a trainer or hadn't yet suffer the hardship of becoming one will never understand a guy like him." Sarah exclaimed as she fasten her paced so that she could caught up with Ash.

(Scene Change)

"Here we are." Sarah said as they arrived in the Pokémon preserved. The group was quite amaze at the Pokémon preserve, it was spacious and has different kinds of habitats for different kinds of Pokémons. The group smiled in awe as they watch different Pokémons play around while Ash looked around and noticed something different in the horizon.

"Hey Sarah, why are their some scorch marks here." Ash whispered to her as he pointed at some scorch mark that was on the ground. Sarah seeing those marks caused her eyes to widen.

"Oh shit, not again." Sarah said is slight fear. "You six wait for me here, I'll be right back." Sarah told them frantically as she walked away, following the scorch mark on the ground.

"She sounds a bit frantic there." Brock remarked as he watched Sarah disappeared.

"I think it's something to do with the preserve." Misty observed.

"Yeah, man I forgot to asked for an autograph." May whined as she watched one of her idol wlaked away.

"We'll meet her again later, maybe we could asked her some advised later on." Dawn, excited at that prospect.

Ash didn't pay attention to them and ran towards the direction were Sarah rush off, feeling a dangerous Aura towards that direction, he quickly doubled his speed. If this was something that would endanger her then that means he has to protect her. Elena will never forgive him if something happened to her sister while his around.

'Please don't get yourself kill, I need you alive until my wedding with your younger sister and after that as well.' Ash thought as he ran even faster to catch up with her.

Max seemed to noticed Ash's movement. "Hey guys, let's go, Ash is rushing towards were Sarah run off to." Max said as he pointed towards the running Ash.

The group noticed it and without any further words, they followed him. As they began to move, a tower of fire was seen towards the direction that they were running to. That unnerved them greatly as they followed the leader of the pack.
