Regrets of the past....

"Next time that you tried to flirt with someone's girlfriend, please make sure that they don't have led pipes with them." Michael stated as Karen tend his busted open head.

"Learn how to fight your own battles will you." Karen growled as she tended to her beloved boyfriend and his brother. "You're lucky that my brother could sustain pain in an inhuman way but Michael bruise easy."

"I said I was sorry." Justin said as he sipped the cola that he was drinking.

"Does this happen a lot?" Dawn asked as she glanced at the four quarrelling people in front of her.

"Trust us, you have no idea." Michelle and Tanya said in unison.

"Justin is a womanizer of our group and tends to flirt with any pretty girl he see's, just as long they have skirts and breast."

"That attribute of him really annoys us and often gets him into trouble."

"He doesn't know how to fight so he depends on Neil and Michael to get him out of travel because they actually know how to fight, thanks to Adan's fighting camp."

"In short, the only reason why he is here is because his the apprenticed of the owner of the company, Sarah's father." Michelle and Tanya concluded at the same time.

"Hey, it's not my fault that the girls love me." Justin said arrogantly. That earned him a strong kick in the head causing him to fall down face first to the ground.

"Who ever agree with him is a retard?" A familiar voiced said as he lifted Justin with one of hand and effortlessly threw him out of the way.

"Papa Dan, what are you doing here?" Jane and Sarah asked in unison. The group attention was instantly diverted to the red haired man, a silver haired man and a brown hair woman that appeared out of nowhere. Brock and Gary instantly recognize the two out of three.

"Well I heard that the idiot there," Adan pointing at Justin. "Caused a commotion causing the two of you," He was pointing now at both Michael and Neil. "To fight his battle once again which caused you two to be rush here in the mall's clinic?" Adan finished as he glanced at his two pupils.

"Next time, let the guy get toughen up a bit." Adan added as he helped tend the injury of the two.

"You two are lucky that those gangs have been terrorizing this mall or else you two would be in jail right now." Natasha commented as she glanced at her two workmates.

"We're just lucky that Adan drove us to the ground when he thought us wrestling, or else well be in a much more bad shape that we are in right now." Michael commented as he rubbed his bandaged arm. Neil nodded in agreement as his sister bandaged his left leg.

"Sarah, Jane, we're you two hurt?" Henry asked worriedly as he glanced at his two daughters.

"If those six even approached us, they would probably be in a grave by now, Henry." Sarah replied in a bored tone.

"There just a bunch of brats so you shouldn't really be worried about us old geezer." Jane replied disrespectfully.

"Would you guys talk to your dad respectively, we have guess in front of us you know." Michelle commented causing the attention to be diverted towards the group.

"Hello there," The group said in unison as the attention was diverted towards them.

Adan suddenly smiled at the sight of Brock and Gary."Brock, Gary it's nice to see you two again." Adan greeted with a smile.

That caused the group to look at Adan funny, does he know this kids. It seems that he does know them because the two replied back positively. "Hey Adan, it's funny to see you here," Brock said as he greeted Adan with a nod.

"Yeah, both of you two as well, small world." Adan said as he patted both Gary and Brock on the back.

"Hey Papa Dan, you know the two?" Sarah asked as she glanced at her surrogate father. The groups as well were curious, Adan don' interact with people he doesn't know.

"Absolutely, Gary's an old friend of my nephew and Brock travels with him." Adan exclaimed with a small smile until he noticed that his nephew wasn't with them. "Speaking of which, where is he?" Adan asked as he glanced around. The crew raised an eyebrow at that, how lucky are they to meet up with up with the travelling group of Adan's nephew.

"You mean Ash; he stayed behind to help Grandma Wilma with her land." Brock answered causing Natasha to chuckle lightly.

"What a coincidence?" Natasha said with a laughed causing Adan nod.

"Yup, what a coincidence," Adan said with a laughed as he glanced at his crew before glancing at Ash's travelling companions. "So you four kids travel with my nephew huh?" Adan inquired while the group merely nodded in confirmation. "I see, come on then, let's go to the dining hall, we could talk better their."

(Scene Change)

"So this is Sun Lake town huh, I wouldn't mind spending some time here, this place is magnificent." Ash commented as he glanced at the lake. The couple together with Pikachu and Koyuki was having a walk beside the large lake.

"I know what you mean; this place also has some Archeological value." Elena commented as she gazed at the lake with a smile.

"Let me guess, theirs an under water ruined below this place." Ash said as he followed Elena's eyes.

"Actually no, this place is said to be the first land that Arceus first made in Sinnoh." Elena commented as she glanced at the lake.

"Interesting," Ash exclaimed as he's gazed went towards a fancy looking hotel. "Come on Elena, let rent a hotel room." Ash stated as he glanced at her with a smile.

"Yes let's, the two of us needs a shower anyway." Elena said as she careresses his muscular body. "I want to see this once again." Elena whispered seductively causing Ash to blush furiously.

(Scene Change)

"Let me get this straight," Sarah said as she swallowed the steak that she was chewing. "Ash is the son of your sister and your best friend Alexander Ketchum, right."

"Yup, can't you see the family resemblance?" Adan asked with a laughed.

"Now that you mention, no," Sarah stated deadpan as she gazed in a calculative manner at Adan. "Why didn't you introduce me to him or to your sister when we were younger, I would have preferred knowing him earlier?" Sarah asked with a sharp tone.

"Let's just say that me and my sister never see eye to eye since twenty years ago." Adan answered with a disappointed tone.

"That and he can't do that even if he wanted to Sarah." Natasha exclaimed with a chuckled. "Adan and Delia had been in a long time quarrel for what seems like twenty years now; they can't even stay in the same room together without one of them trying to cripple each other."

The group glanced at Adan instantly, Ash's friends still couldn't believe at what they were hearing from Ash's uncle and the crew still can't believe that Adan was talking about his family for the first time. But the thing they can't believe was the fact that there was animosity in Adan's family especially that, for Ash's friends, Mrs. Ketchum was the nicest person they met, as for the crew, Adan was the most considerate person thatthey ever knew.

"How could you be in a quarrel with Ms. Ketchum, she's the nicest person I had ever met?" Max inquired as he glanced at Ash's nephew.

Adan merely chuckled bitterly at that question as he gla red at Henry. "I still blame you for that." Adan said in sullen, stoic tone. The group and the crew instantly looked at Henry, his expression could only be described by one word, regret, utter regret.

"Don't remind me, my jaw still ache at that kick you gave me all those years ago." Henry stated as he rubbed his jaw. A tension quickly developed as Adan stared at Henry with absolute venom and as Henry gripped the staff that was by his side tightly, it seems that the two was about to fight.

"So you guys were friends with Mrs. Ketchum and Ash's father." Dawn asked, wanting to break the tension that was forming around the table.

It seems to work as Adan's attention was once again diverted to Ash's friends as he smiled at them. "Yes we were, Ash's father was my best friend and Delia is the best friend of Natasha here." Adan explained with a bright smile.

"Those were the days, huh Adan." Natasha exclaimed as he reminisced the time she spend with the old group.

"Yeah, travelling around the regions with us six, those were the best days of my life." Adan stated with a blissful tone.

"We we're pretty wild back then, if I remember correctly." Henry said with a laughed while Adan and Natasha merely nodded at that statement.

"Yeah, I still remember how I and Alex used to bail your ass in those tight spot that you get yourselves into and how Cyrus paid for the damaged that we made." Adan said with a laughed.

"You won't let me lived that down won't you." Henry grumbled annoyingly.

"Not in this lifetime, bob." Adan stated with a prideful smirked.

The group smile at the three adults as they reminisced there youth; it would have been nice to know them when they were young.

As the two groups and the three adults conversed with each other as they dine together. The adults and the children's traded stories as they spend time with there new friends.

It was fitting because a storm of emotions is about to come and it would hit the two parties directly in to the core of their hearts and beliefs.
