Gary sent out his first Pokemon before Ash could even react, "Umbreon you're up!"
"An Umbreon huh?" Ash said to himself. "Pikachu get out there buddy." "Pikaaaaaa", Pikachu showed a lot of confidence due to having so much experience in battling while traveling through 5 regions.
"Umbreon, use Dark Pulse" Gary instructed, "Pikachu counter it with Iron Tail!" Both Pokemon collided knocking each other back, "now Pikachu use thunderbolt and aim at the ground" screamed Ash.
Pikachu aimed his attack on the ground causing to ground beneath Umbreon to crack like a fissure. The after effect was that Umbreon's leg got trapped underneath the rubble allowing Pikachu to take the opening. Ash took the chance instructing Pikachu to use electro ball.
"Pika pika pika pika pika chu", Pikachu then released a powerful ball of electricity right at Umbreon, but Gary wasn't down just yet, "now Umbreon can't move, but it can still use Dark Pulse".
Umbreon managed to charge up its attack so it's strong enough to match the electro ball, he then aimed and fire the dark pulse attack at the electro ball, but it wasn't enough.
Pikachu's electro ball proved to be more powerful as the ball of electricity cut through the Dark pulse and got a direct hit on Umbreon. A massive cloud formed and nor Gary, Ash, Oak or Delia could see what was going on until the smoke cleared up minutes later to see Umbreon fainted and Pikachu still standing firmly.
"Umbreon is unable to battle" stated Professor Oak, "the first battle goes to Ash!"
"Oh right!" Ash shouted. "well done buddy now I think you should rest, I want to use someone else". Giving Pikachu a confident look, Pikachu knew that Ash had something up his sleeve.
Gary sent out his second Pokemon. "Electivire you're up next!"
Ash thought to himself knowing that he's used Pikachu he has Charizard, Sceptile, Staraptor, Snorlax and Squirtle left in his main six.
"Sceptile I choose y..." Unable to finish his sentence, Ash heard his mother's voice hit his ear drums. "Waiittttt!" screeched Delia
The loud voice stopped Ash halfway throwing his Poke ball and ending up getting both Gary's and Ash's attention.
"Ash dear we have to leave now we've ran out of time!" Panicked Delia. She was worrying that they would missed their boat as they can only get their stuff across the sea by driving the truck into the boat and then driving to Vaniville town from the port.
"Electivire return", Gary didn't look too happy that he had to return his Pokemon right before a battle was about to start but he also didn't want Ash to be late so he thought he would tease ash more on the concept that Kalos is the region of love.
So Everyone walked with Ash and Delia to the truck and while Professor Oak and Tracey were talking to Delia while Gary took his chance to wind up Ash.
"So Ashy boy" teased Gary. "Stop calling me that" said Ash angrily. Gary replied instantly by mentioning that the girl he is searching for was his lover. Ash then had a puzzled and surprised look on his face wondering how Gary knew. "Gary, how did you know?" shouted Ash,
"Oh I saw you looking for her in Oak's summer camp album, you didn't notice that me and professor Oak didn't leave the house in the end because Delia was telling us about the plans for moving, so I thought I
would come wind you up but there you was flipping the pages through the summer camp photo album". Gary started to laugh, but Ash surprisingly laugh too and said "alright fine, but don't tell anyone I'm looking for her okay?" giving Gary a serious look.
Gary agreed and shook Ash's hand, "when I come and visit I want to hear that you've got all the badges alright?" "Yeah sure thing" Ash said confidently.
So Ash also said goodbye to Professor Oak and Tracey and got into to the truck with his mum. They drove off while Ash waved goodbye to his friends that he was leaving in Pallet not knowing Pikachu was actually asleep on his head the whole time as he was too busy shouting at Gary for teasing Ash about Kalos being the region of love, but every time Gary did bring it up all Ash did was think about Serena and when he did he would get all warm inside and then randomly smile.
"Ash why are you smiling"? Asked Delia with a puzzled look on her face, Ash was in a trance just thinking about Serena and hoping that she lived in Kalos. "Ash!" Screamed Delia.
Suddenly Ash snapped out of his trapped thoughts about Serena and then realized that he had a massive smile on his face, he turned so his mum couldn't see him blushing.
"You're acting very weird Ash or maybe you're just tired now about sleep through the journey" so that's what Ash did, but it took at least 10 minutes "You're acting very weird Ash or maybe you're just tired now about sleep through the journey" so that's what Ash did, but it took at least 10 minutes for him to actually fall asleep while it took Pikachu no time at all since he slept during Gary's and Ash's argument after all.
