Third Person's POV

During Ash and Eli first Gym battle in the Kalos region, our heroes Battle Viola the Santalune Gym Leader and her Brother Anthony, Eli successfully defeated Anthony despite the Struggles he faced, But because Pikachu and Fletchling found it impossible to move freely to the battle field, they were defeated by Viola Surskit and Vivillon, now following a healing visit to the Pokemon Center, Ash has begun preparing for a rematch with training assistance provided by Alexa

Ash gets up as he was lost in his thought. 'Vivillon's Gust isn't the only thing we have to deal with. There's Surskit's Ice Beam and Sticky Web too. How are we gonna do it?'

"He's doing it again." Gary notices Ash's expression as Eli turns to Gary with concern. "When has he been doing this?"

"During our time in Sinnoh," Gary answers as they look at Ash. Both are now concerned if this will get worse. 'Oh Ash...'

"Here." Serena hands Ash a blue cloth, "Use this."

"Ah," Ash looks at the cloth as he smiles, "Thanks."

Serena smiles as she was nervous, "Here we go...." she mutters to herself before ask Ash nervously "Ash, do you remember me?"

Ash Looks at her confuse as Pikachu and Fletching runs/flies off leaving the pair alone which Serena tells Ash "think back when we went to camp at Pallet town, I did too, that's where we met"

from far Eli sees them specifically the girl with furrow eyes brows 'Serena...why does she sounds and looks familiar?' Eli is in thought 

Ash repeats "at camp?" Serena respond joy fully "that's right! We met at Professor Oak's Pokemon summer camp!"

Ash then remembers "yeah I remember that camp that is also when I met Eli!" Serena smile "you really do?" Ash replies "yeah of course, I went to it" 

Serena then says as placing her hand on her chest "I know, that's because I went to that camp as well" Ash then looks up as says "can't say I remember you?" Serena falls at the comment which is something that she didn't expected to hear she looks down disappointed "oh no

Ash apologizes feeling a bit bad for Serena "sorry..." Serena Shakes her head while chuckling and says "that's okay, Ash. for now you need to concentrate on training. You can remember me Later" Ash nods "right"

Eli's eyes widen "OH!" everyone turn their attention onto Eli which blushes and looks down "s-sorry I just remembered something. D-Don't mind me"

Gary then ask Eli "what do you mean?" Eli looks at Gary "is just... I remember her, She was in the same camp as us when we were little"

Serena looks at Eli with shock "you do, Eli?" Eli nods "of course I never forget a face, but names are something else, I like to say is good to see you again after so long"

Serena smiles at the other Kanto boy and says "I could say the same about you"

Ash looks at Eli "you know her Eli?" Eli nods "Yeah I remember that I have to show her around the camp about where are the bathroom, the kitchen, and many other places so that she doesn't get lost, despite that I was a bit shy back then"

Serena then remembers "I remember that! and I'm sorry that I didn't realizes that that same boy is you" Eli rubs the back of his head "yeah nothing to big to worry about it, it was a long time" the two share a laugh seems like Eli and Serena got along very quickly 

Serena says "I've got to say, Pokemon Battles are amazing"

Ash says "you saw mine?" Ash wipes his dirty face with the handkerchief Serena gave him he turns to her and adds "then you know what a total rotten mess I made of it"

Eli looks at Ash "I doubt that Ash, Because the Ash I know doesn't give up that easily. and never doubts or talks bad about himself. just like I told you Ash, If you can't walk through the door, then jump through a window" Serena looks at the Two Kanto boy confusedly "The point is that you always find a way to solve the battle using the surrounding of the Battle field"

Serena compliments "Eli's right Ash, you were awesome back at that battle despite that you lost, but I also remember what you said the last time we met-" Eli and Serena looks at each other while saying together "You never give up until the end!" Both Eli and Serena laugh and they high five each other and Eli says "we're so getting along, so well!" Serena giggles "I agree"

they both then look at the Confused Ash as Eli says "you're obviously not giving up. you haven't changed one bit for that fact"

Ash then looks down and begins to laugh as Serena and Eli looks at Ash confusedly "I haven't changed, have I?" Ash continues to laugh

"Are you seriously asking your childhood friends such question" Eli ask with a raised brow and Serena just shakes her head like she's expecting this to happen

Ash calms down from laughing and says "I'm not giving up. That just wouldn't be me at all" he gets up and hand Serena her Handkerchief "Thanks Serena, Eli. You're really a big help"

Eli Smiles away "i-is nothing really, I just look out for you, like I always do"

Serena takes the Handkerchief and nods "sure" as she notice the blush appearing in Ash's face to prevent anyone to notice it she looks at Eli then back to Ash 'I see...you like Eli...this is cute' she looks at Clemont and Gary who looks at Ash with a small frown of Jealousy 'and looks like Ash isn't the only one' Serena chuckles to herself

Eli looks at Serena confusedly of why she was chuckling

Ash calls out Alexa "Alexa! can we have another Battle please?" Alexa responds as Serena and Eli walks off the "Okay" Fletching and Pikachu runs/flies back to the battle field and Noivern walks with Alexa "is not like me to get down on myself, I can fix all this up by not giving up!

Alexa has het hand on her hip and ask Ash and his Pokemon "Ready to go?" Noivern Lands facing Fletchling and Pikachu who cry ready to take the gust "Pika/Chling!" Alexa commands "Noivern use Gust!" Noivern flaps it's big wings creating a gush of wind as Pikachu and Fletching are seem to be struggling to keep steady in the battle field 

Ash encourages his Pokemon "Stay strong, don't give up!" Both Pikachu and Fletching Ash tells them "Pikachu keep your footing! And Fletching keep your balance!" Pikachu keeps his body low and uses his tail to slam it to the ground to keep his footing steady 

Serena exclaims "Alright Pikachu's using it's tails"

Clemont says "that's great in that Position, Pikachu can Manage to keep his footing"

Gary then says "that's Pikachu for ya, he's always full of surprises" Umbreon nods in agreement "Umbre!"

Eli cheers "Way to go Pikachu!" Sylveon joins on the cheering "Sylveon!" Umbreon notice Sylveon and Pouts with jealousy hoping that Sylveon could cheer for him Dedenne notice it and giggles

Fletching Manages to Glide in Noivern's gust, as Bonnie notice it "Wow, look at that, Fletching flying a lot better now" Dedenne nods in agreement "Denene!" 

Gary comments "Fletching Manage to glide in the gust but adjusting the angle of it's tail feathers, to control how the air controls around it" Clemont nods in agreement "I can see that"

Ash yell "Now Pikachu, use Thunderbolt! And Fletching, use Razor wind!" Both Ash's Pokemon uses their attacks and aimed them at Noivern as Alexa quickly yell "Noivern, dodge it!" Noivern dodges the attack by flying up to the sky making a Smoke on the field as Noivern land back to the Battle field

"Awesome! Looking good you two" Ash Praises Pikachu and Fletchling "Pika Pika!" "Fletchling!"

Alexa then says "looks like you get the hang of it! But I'm not finished yet! Use gust again!" Noivern continues to use Gust again

-time skip noon-

Is noon and Pikachu Fletching were panting after many rounds of gust resistance

Ash compliments Alexa "Wow Alexa, that was a really helpful training. Thank you for everything" 

Alexa responds "save your thanks, after you defeated my sister and win your first Kalos Gym badge" 

Ash nods "right, I'll do my best" Pikachu and Fletchling agrees "Pika Pika!" "Chling Chling!"

Everyone walk back to the Pokemon Center to Share a table Ash first says "We've got a good defense against Gust now!" 

Bonnie Stated "so that means" she looks up trying to remember and then says "Now, you just need yo figured it out the Ice Battle field, Sticky web, and psychic" Ash Nods "I've already figured it out how to deal with the Ice battle field

Bonnie ask excitedly "Yeah? what are you going to do?" Ash replies "you'll find out during the battle" Bonnie didn't see like she expecting that answer 

Gary and Eli sweat drops 'Hopefully is not a improv' 

Bonnie then pouts "hey that's no fun" she take a whole cake and take it whole

Eli tell Bonnie "be careful Bonnie, you're gonna choke yourself?"

Bonnie looks at Eli and ask with food on her mouth "how's your battle with Anthony?"

Both Eli and Gary tense up Eli replies "I've told you I beat him...but..."

Ash, Bonnie, Clemont, and Serena ask "but?..."

Gary answers "He sort of put on a bet on your battle ash, if you Lose...Eli has to go on a Date with Anthony" Gary growls on that last part which Ash choked on his drink, and the others screamed in shock "Huh!?" 

Eli then looks away with a embarrassed blush "Yeah..." then it was a awkward silence

Clemont decide to break it by changing the subject "As far as handling sticky web, you just leave that to me"

Ash yells excitedly "Yes! Alright, Pikachu, Fletching. is back yo training after we eat" Both of Ash Pokemon cheered with their mouth/beak full "Pikachu!/Fletchling!" Ash and the others continues to eat

-time skip-

Is night outside and our heroes are on the Battle field and Clemont with something that is hidden under a big sheet

Clemont first says "Allow me to help you with your training, using the very best of my scientific skills. Remember the future is now thanks to science, and the Power of technology" Clemont takes the sheets and throws it away revealing "Clemontic gear on! I invented this device in anticipation of the very situation Ash is now in. I call it the Sticky Web Sticky-Wicket Wacker Wonk" 

Serena sees confused about the name, and Bonnie not very surprised about it "huh?" Eli and Gary sweat drops "Uh..." as Ash Yells with Start in his eyes "Science is so amazing!" Gary and Eli looks at Ash with a Sweat drop 'Do we even know you Ash?'

Clemont explains "I've Analyze Sticky Web's composition to the DNA level, and this device is able to replicate it's stickiness, color, aroma, and Nutritional Value to a tee. I'm sure patent approval is right around the corner" Clemont states proudly on the last sentence

Ash tells Clemont "Well, I really don't know what you're talking about, but thanks Clemont!" 

Clemont get set to activate his Machine as says "then let's get started!" Pikachu and Fletchling get to position "Pika Pika!" "Ching!" Clemont activates the machine while says "Lock on target, and fire!" Clemont pulls down the lever as the cannon fires two replicas of the Sticky web move

"Dodge it!" Ash quickly yells as his Pokemon dodge the Sticky Web 

Pikachu land in front of the web Pikachu went to touches "Pika?" and tries to move its paw but it turs out to be sticky which Pikachu freaks out a bit "Pi!" Pikachu wiggles its arms away till the Sticky web's no longer stuck on Pikachu's paw and sighs in relief "Pika" 

Serena states "He's right! Is the same as Sticky web!" Clemont stat as well "this is what I called, training with Science! keep it up! Fire! Fire! Fire!" Clemont continues to pulls up and down the lever of his invention 

"Why I have a bad feeling about this?" Eli mutters to himself which Gary heard "you can say that again"

Meanwhile Pikachu and Fletchling are dodging the sticky web "Pika! Pika! Pika!" "Ing! Ing! Ing!" Ash compliments his Pokemon "Hey you both are looking great!" Pikachu and Fletching continue dodging ending with Pikachu remaining untouchable as Fletchling landing on Pikachu's head

"Not bad, but you haven't experienced my device at full power!" Clemont claims 'this is gonna go wrong' Gary and Eli thought as Clemont turns the "level" of the device and yell "Maximum level and fire!" Clemont pulls down the Lever but nothing happens which confuses the rest of our Heroes "Huh?" Clemont walk to check on his device "Huh? something's not right" then he hears a sound and the device sees that is about to explode which Clemont panics making the cannon of the device to point up as it fires 4 Sticky webs and they fall back into the cannon and plug and Clemont looks back at the device and begins to glow which he Panics again

"Sylveon!" Sylveon jumps in and Uses Protect and...

BOOM

the smokes clears up revealing everyone except for Eli and Sylveon having puffy hairstyles which the blue head turns away while holding his laughter as Bonnie comments "Looks like another Machine went boom"

Clemont looks down disappointedly grunts "Why? Why?" 

"kay, in that case" Ash then pulls out another Pokeball and yells while throwing it front "Froakie I choose you!" The Pokeball pops open and the Water Starter Pokemon Appears "Froakie!"

Ash tell Froakie "If you attack us with your Frubbles it'll be like getting attack with Sticky web!" Froakie nods "Fro" Froakie jumps throw some Frubbles from him to Pikachu and Fletchling "Fro Kie!"

Ash Quickly yells "Alright! Pikachu, Fletchling dodge it!" Pikachu and Fletching begins to dodge the Frubbles

Gary looks impressed and says "Wow! what a clever way to use Frubbles" Clemont nods in agreement

Bonnie yells "Yeah keep it up!" Dedenne agrees "Denene!"

Eli smiles "That's amazing Ash!" Ash blushes a bit and laughs while scratching the back of his head both Clemont and Gary notice Ash expression as their brow furrow in jealousy while Bonnie and Serena looks at each other and giggles and Eli looks at everyone confused "did I missed something?" Eli questioned

Ash's Pokemon stop as their trainer tells them "Now, concentrate and Speed up!" Pikachu nods and jumps off fast as Froakie fires another barrage of Frubbles Fletching seems to be dodging with easy while keeping up with the speed "Show me that's Spirit"

"I didn't knew Ash had a Froakie too" Serena comment "That Froakie is from professor Sycamore's research lab" Bonnie explains "Just like my Fennekin"

after a few rounds of dodging Frubbles Pikachu, Froakie, and Fletchling Stops as Ash says "I think we're going to be just fine. So, let's call it a day" 

Froakie crawl and gently hits Fletching's head "Froakie!" "Flet!" Fletchling strikes a proudly pose "Chling!"

The teens looks at Bonnie who seems like she drank so many juice but she's just sleepy "Ra ra ra~ go team go! I know you can do it, you're awesome~" Bonnie falls back only to be caught by a chuckling Clemont "Bonnie, I thinks is bedtime" Bonnie continues "You're great" Clemont responds "yeah, weren't they? let's go" Clemont tells Ash while he and Bonnie walks back in the Pokemon Center "Okay Ash, I'm going to tuck Bonnie into bed"

Ash nods "Right, thanks for staying up so late to help me out" as the Blonde siblings walk back Ash walks towards his Pokemon and says while crouching down to their level "Well, we all worked on everything we could all that's left is to battle Viola as hard as we can. So let's gave it all we got!" His Pokemon cheer "Pika!/Fletchling!/Froakie"

"It's amazing how hard trainers and their Pokemon work. it takes a awful lot of time and effort to get their first gym badge, doesn't it" Serena states as she, Gary, and Eli walks towards Ash and his Pokemon with Umbreon and Sylveon following them 

"Not only that just like training for a contest it takes lots of time to fully mastered combination moves to it's perfection, take that from someone with experience" Eli states and Serena nods in understanding

"Not only that is also a Strategy game, depending on the trainer battling style who knows what you will come across, you might even meet someone stronger than either Viola or Anthony" Gary says while adding a bit of venom once he mentions the Santalune's Gym leader's brother

Ash furrows his brows at the mentioned but shrugs it up and then gets up as he says to Serena "you'll be training like this in no time. Soon you're gonna hit the road, and catch some more Pokemon, so you can challenge the Pokemon Gyms, right?"

Serena replies nervously "I guess so, I know I have Fennekin but I'm not sure what my next step will be"

Eli places a hand on her shoulder "just to remind you that we're not the one to tell you what you should do or what should not do. but you should take all the time you need, I mean is your Journey, your story you can become whoever you like to become"

Serena nods "I will, thanks guys"

Gary replies "always" Eli ads "come on you guys we're going to have a long day tomorrow and by long... I mean Literally" the other teen laughs and the four walk back to the Pokemon Center along with their Pokemon

-time skip-

Since Eli already have his gym badge he decides not to join Ash and the others since he want so explore the place. Eli walk out of the Pokemon Center and the first Person I see is Anthony with a smirk on his face

"Morning cutie, you're ready for our date" Anthony greets Eli with a wink which Eli blushes a bit "M-Morning Anthony, and I-I'm a bit nervous..." Anthony smirks and says "is okay I'll make sure you're having fun" Anthony takes Eli by the hand and the two walk off 

Eli sees to look around and sees the best places and crosses path with another guy who seems a around the same age as Anthony a slim young man of average height with rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders, along with some strands pointing upwards on top of his head and a prominent tuft obscuring most of his forehead. The man have a thin scar across the bridge of his nose. His hair is later brushed to the right side of his face covering up his right eye despite on having his hair up in a ponytail, He has red eyes

Clothing wise he wears a light-colored leopard-patterned kimono that only covers the right half of his torso, beneath which he wears armor that is light in the chest but dark everywhere else; the neck of the armor coils around his own and fastens there appropriately, and his left arm is left uncovered at the shoulder, exposing a Black tattoo that Matches Anthony's. Around his waist is a very long sash that ties on the right side of his body and loops around the left, and holds a design-adorned piece of white fabric in place over the top of his loose, black pants. Around his left forearm is a black band that has a white ring over the wrist; he completes his outfit with black ankle boots, within which his pants are tucked.

Anthony notice him and yells "hey Roy!"

The Black hair young man now know as Roy turn his attention to Anthony and says "where where you? We're getting late because of you" He then notice Eli and ask "Who this?"

Anthony replies "Roy, This cutie is called Eli. Eli this is Roy, my bestfriend and Tag Team Partner"

Roy looks up and down at Eli who tilts his head Roy walks towards Eli and leans closer to his face which surprises Eli and takes a step back Roy then looks at Anthony "did you kidnap this damsel?" He asked

'Damsel!?' Eli thought while blushing and shakes his head and looks at Roy with a small smile

Eli nods at Roy "is really nice to meet you Roy" Roy stayed silent for a second and ask "can you say my name again" Eli looks at Roy confusedly "Okay...Roy, Why you want me to say your name again?"

Roy shakes his head "is nothing is just by how you pronounce my name, just hit something that make me feel...nice" Eli nods awkwardly "I'll take that as a compliment"

Anthony then says "hey don't we have a Photoshoot to attend? you're welcome to join us to watch, cutie~" Anthony grabs Eli's hand before kissing the back of it as if he was from royalty and the three walk towards where the Photoshoot is located, and for them if Eli really was from royalty they would of never expected it

Eli nods says sure "I would love to come and see you guys work I can it could be fun, I mean, My brother models too"

Roy asked "so you know what photoshoots are like?"

Eli nods "so I get use to it" 

Anthony point front "oh look where here" they arrive to a building and the three walk in and they met up with a calm female with brown hair waving at them

The young woman says "welcome gentlemen, you came right on time the Photographer is upstairs with the manager making sure things are set for you guys" she then notice Eli and add "and you can take your guest with you guys while you prepared, you guys know where the studio is" both Anthony and Roy nods as Eli bows at the young woman and follows Anthony and Roy to the studio that she mentioned 

The three males walk in and meet with a tall and well-built man in adulthood with fair skin. He had waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face.

Clothing wise he wears a simple Dark Red Leather Jacket along with a White shirt underneath it and Sand color jean pants and Dark Red boots

The Man waves at the younger Males "Anthony, Roy. You've made it!" he notice Eli "and I see you brought a fan"

Anthony shake his head "No Jerry, Eli's actually my date" Roy stated "More like a Damsel in distress be kidnapped by a Hydragon" Anthony frown at Roy "Hey!" Eli giggles a bit causing both Antony and Roy to blush a bit and Eli notice them and tilts his head confusedly 

'Oh... Now I get it' The older man named Jerry thought while chuckling to himself "alright boys get Ready" Both Anthony and Roy walks off as Anthony tells Eli "see you later cutie~" then the two young adult males walk off leaving Eli and Jerry alone.

Jerry looks at Eli "Eli, right?" Eli nods "yes sir" Jerry waves him off "don't need to be formal to me, just call me Jerry like everyone else. But jokes a side...are you familiar with someone name Nejire?"

"yeah Jerry, Nejire is my older sister" Eli responds with a nod "I see...so most of the clothing were designed by her, so it'll be amazing when she sees that her own brother is Modeling her designs" Eli tilts his head "you're offering me to model for you... I mean I've been in Photoshoots before but..." Eli gets cut off "Great. Ladies take him to the room the more the merrier!" Eli gets dragged "wait I haven't-" Eli and the girls that work on make up were no longer in sight as he pull out his phone and dials a phone number and a voice is picked up "Hello?" Jerry respond "is Jerry... Is it okay to have three models instead of two?" The voice replies "Sure!, the More the Merrier!"

-Meanwhile-

Eli's sit on a chair while be doing his make up they didn't do him much just foundation and the Hair stylist going to style it ask Eli "I can tell that your hair doesn't need to have a change since is perfect as it is" Eli nods as the Manager explains to Eli "so the theme is a date Miss Nejire deigned these clothes so choose what suit you since I can tell that you have sense of Fashion since you're Nejire's little brother" Eli nods "sure" with that the Makeup artist, and the others left the young trainer alone as He pulls out Sylveon's Pokeball "Sylveon, come on out!" The Pokeball opens and Sylveon appears "Sylveon!"

Eli tells his partner "Sylveon let's get matching outfits together, Okay?" Sylveon nods excitedly "Veon!" Eli looks at the outfit and he finds it interesting a baby blue tuxedo with a white dress shirt with a Matching tie and baby blue pants and white dress shoes as he finds a baby blue dress that Matches Sylveon perfectly along with a tiara place it on the side of Sylveon's ear

(the suit)

Eli looks at himself and says "wow... I look like I'm about to get married or something well at least we're going to look good, right Sylveon?" Sylveon nods "Syl" 

They both walk out of he room and walk back to the Studio once they walk in he sees Anthony and Roy there in suit as well which the young male adults didn't noticed the younger one yet Sylveon uses its ribbon to hold onto Eli's hand as they walk towards them 

"Hey Anthony. Hey Roy" the two male turns the attention to Eli which they both widen their eyes and blushes at what they see which Eli feels awkward for the silence and ask "did I went a bit to far?" 

Both Anthony and Roy snapped out of their trance and shake their head as Anthony "n-no is not like that... You look amazing, Eli!" Roy nods with a smile "for once I agreed you look cute" Eli blushes at the compliments and responds "t-thanks you guys don't look bad yourself" 

Anthony takes Eli hand and kisses the back of it "Thanks cutie, It means a lot coming from you" Eli laughs nervously as he quickly takes his hand away as Sylveon looks at the two young adults with a small glare which Anthony and Hayden notice it

Roy then says while petting Eli's head "t-thanks, Bunny" Eli's face turns red as a Pansear at the nickname Roy gave him

The Jerry appears saying "great our three Models are here we can start our shoot!" 

Eli and Roy went to take some photos together like dancing poses like they're in a ball and Roy bows to Eli like he's from royalty and who Eli nods in return and takes some other pictures. and ones with Anthony they seem a bit more...Physical, but not TOO physical like look at each other in the eyes while Anthony have one finger under Eli's chin for example and dancing together like their dancing in a ball

"So for the final take. Eli see that throne over there?" Jerry points at the throne which Eli nods and Jerry continues "I want you to sit there and what ever I told you, you have to do exactly as I tell you. Think you can keep up" Eli nods "great then Let's get Posing!" Jerry begins to takes some photos of him sitting on the throne and to Roy and Anthony's surprise they see that Eli's keeping up with Jerry's words and then Sylveon jumps in the picture since Jerry called her out to take some photos as well

Jerry says to Sylveon "Thanks Sylveon, for sharing your natural Model skill, and I'm surprise that you two keep up"

Eli nods with a smile "thanks, It means a lot" Sylveon nods "Veon!" Sylveon walks out of the set and makes a 'I'm watching you' gestures with its ribbons

Jerry calls "Anthony, Roy come here!" the Mentioned walk on set as Jerry continues "Okay on this Take Eli will sit back on the throne, with a Leg cross over the other whatever leg you want cross is okay Eli, Roy and Anthony you two are going to be like the princes charming duo which you two take one hand and kiss the back of it and Eli I need you to be happy"

Eli nods "I can try" 

Anthony goes on Eli's left and gets down on one knee and takes Eli's left hand and then leans his faces towards the back of it and Roy does the same with Eli's right hand they both kisses Eli's hand which Eli blushes and Jerry begins to take the photos and Jerry sees to enjoying the view

Meanwhile team Rocket dress ups as workers of the Studio with a newly caught Pumpkaboo are searching if they're Pokemon without their trainer and they saw Sylveon and Meowth Recognize Sylveon

"hey is the twerp Sylveon?"

Jessie ask "Sylveon?" James explains "Sylveon is the recent discovered 8 evolved form of Eevee"

Jessie states "since Sylveon is equally as strong as Pikachu we must take it" Meowth cheers "Yeah" Wobbuffet appeared out of nowhere "Wobbuffet!" James stayed silent but nods in agreement 

Sylveon's watching the shoot and sees it's trainer with a proud smile and Sylveon still feels a bit unsure since Eli just met both Anthony and Roy but then a Plastic capsule captures Sylveon "Sylveon!" that get Eli's attention and his eyes widen in disbelief as he sees Sylveon get taken away

"Sylveon!" Eli gets up from the throne and runs after his Pokemon and see three figures running off which pisses Eli off "come back here!" Anthony and Roy follows Eli "Eli!" the two young man yells as Jerry follows them "Wait for me you three!"

Once team rocket manages to get out Meowth trips causing Jessie, James, and Wobbuffet trips on Meowth and falls down face first Eli catches up with them "Who are you and what are you doing with my Sylveon!?" Eli demands angrily

"Prepare for trouble, Long time no see"

"And Make it Double, you've sure grown cuter!"

"To Protect the world from Devastation!"

"To unit all people within our nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie"

"And James"

"team Rocket Blast off in the speed of light"

"Surrender now or prepare for a fight"

"Meowth that's right"

"Wobbuffet!"

"Team Rocket!" Eli yells annoyed as Team rocket happened to be in the hot air balloon "Team Rocket?" Anthony, Roy and Jerry repeated as Jerry begins to take pictures of the scene "There's just a bunch of Jackass who come and steals other people's Pokemon"

"No way!" Roy yells in disbelief "We can't let them get away with this!"

Eli tells them "Guys I'll get Sylveon-" two arms is set in front of Eli as Anthony says "Eli, I'm sorry" Eli looks at Anthony confusedly "Is because of me, and that stupid bet you're Sylveon's in danger" Roy looks at Anthony in shock "A bet!?" Anthony ignore Roy's question and looks at Eli with a sad and apologetic expression which is a expression that he didn't see in Anthony "I'll take them on just to make up for my mistake" Anthony Pull out his Pokeball "Beedrill, I need you!"

"So you're using you're strong bug, Anthony?" Roy pulls out his Pokeball "Then I'll use mine! Scizor Let's go!" the Pokeball pops open and A Scizor appears "Scizor!"

Eli looks at Roy and Anthony and tells them "you guys don't have to, Let me battle them since I know them-"

Roy cuts Eli off "As much as we appreciated, but don't underestimate us, yeah we maybe strong, but together..." 

Anthony finishes the sentence "We're untouchable" he smirked

James pulls out his pokeball "you're on, Get them Inkay!" he shouted as Inkay appears from behind James "Inkay" 

Jessie pulls out a Pokeball "meet the newest member of our team, Pumkaboo let's go!" jessie throws the Pokeball up and it pops open to be revealing a Floating pumpkin-look alike Pokemon "Pumka!"

"Woah!" Eli looks at the new Pokemon with awe as he pulls out his Pokedex

"Pumkaboo, the Pumpkin Pokemon, Pumpkaboo's eyes can glow, which lights the way for travelers. They often sleep in the ground."

"A ghost and Grass type, huh? This is gonna be interesting" Eli mutters 

Roy ask "Ready?" Anthony nods "yeah! Beedrill use bug bite on Pumpkaboo!" Beedrill flies at Pumpkaboo which Jessie quickly yells "Dodge it!" Pumpkaboo dodges "Use Shadow Ball!" Pumpkaboo Makes a shadowy orb and fires at Beedrill

"Metal claw!" Roy yell and one of Scizor's claws gets cover in metal and swing to hit Shadow ball to send it back to Pumpkaboo hitting it without it having a chance to dodge

Eli pulls out another Pokeball "Gardevoir, I need you!" his Pokeball pops open and Gardevoir appears "Voir" 

Eli tell Gardevoir "Gardevoir while team Rocket's distracted Break Sylveon free" Gardevoir Nods "Voir!" Gardevoir floats off and uses Psychic to Break Sylveon out of the capsule Sylveon jumps out "Veon!"

Team Rocket notice this "Uh-oh"

Roy ask "is about time" Anthony nods as he pulls out his key stone "yeah, I've never thought I would use this" Eli notice the Keyes tone and smirks as Roy continues "let's go Scizor" Pulls out his key stone and touches the stone "Mega Evolve!" Anthony also yells while touching his stone "Beedrill, Mega evolve!" both Bog Pokemon gets covered in light as their appearance changes  "Drill/Zor!" Team Rocket seems terrified of this

Anthony yells "Use Poison jab on Pumpkaboo" Roy add also yelling "Power up Punch on Inkay" both Mega-Evolved Pokemon dashes at Team rocket with speed that you barely see them "Bee Drill!" "Sci Zor!" Both Inkay and Pumpkaboo gets hit and send flying to their trainers "Eli finish them off!"

Eli nods "On it! Sylveon, Gardevoir, Time to put these guys on time out! Sylveon Moon Blast! And Gardevoir Use Shadow Ball!"  Gardevoir hurls a shadowy blob as Sylveon hurls a Pink glowing blob at Team Rocket Blasting off again

"We're Blasting off again!" Team Rocket Shouted

"Wobbuffet!"

Eli sighs and hugs Sylveon who looks at Eli with a tilted head "I'm sorry Sylveon... I didn't protect you" Sylveon "Syl..." Sylveon moves away and see that tears were falling from Eli's eyes rolling down his cheek which Sylveon wipes them off with her paw and does determine Cries making Eli know that she's strong "Syl! Sylveon!" Eli laughs and hugs Sylveon "you always know how to make me feel better" Sylveon hugs back "Veon!" Anthony and Roy look at each other and chuckle  at each other "cute" they mutter which their luck was on their side since Eli didn't heard them

During the entire battle Jerry was taking picture of the entire battle without the others noticing Eli walks towards Jerry and bows "I'm sorry I've ruined the shoot" Jerry tilts his head "Ruined? Are you kidding? that was the most Epic Photoshoot I've ever taken. Your interaction with each other and your Pokemon shows was so real, that i have to take pictures of it! As a way to show my gratitude I'll give you copies of the photos we took with you Eli!" 

Eli smiles and says "you shouldn't have to, but thanks"

-Time skip-

Eli now in his normal clothes along with Roy and Anthony we're walking off with some copies of the photoshoots as Anthony and Roy take a copy of their favorite take little did Eli know those pictures that Anthony and Roy keep are pictures that they have with Eli which the mentioned have copies of them also which he sees happy for them and they arrive to the gym Eli notice the others talking outside Eli looks at his Pokemon "Hey Sylveon let' go say hi" Sylveon nods as Eli then turns to his well now dates "come on you two you don't want to loose me" Eli runs off with Sylveon as Anthony and Roy nod at each other before running after the younger male 

-Meanwhile-

Our heroes are outside the Gym after Ash's first Gym battle victory against Viola the Santalune City Gym Leader Alexa ask Ash "Ash, I Imagen you're heading to your next Pokemon Gym Battle. In that case how about the Gym in Cyllage City"

Ash repeats "Cyllage City Gym? That sounds Great!" Helioptile jumps onto Ash's arm who chuckles and says "you also take care Helioptile" Pikachu agrees "Pika Pika" Helioptile nods at Pikachu "Heli!" Helioptile jumps back onto Alexa's Shoulder

Viola then says "hold up don't you guys forget something"

Ash, Gary and Clemont's eyes widen "Eli!" Then a voice is heard behind me "Here!" Ash Gary and Clemont look back and see Eli with Anthony and a unfamiliar face for them behind Eli

Gary was the first to talk "Eli you've made it I thought that you've never gonna make it, but is sad that you missed the battle"

Eli shakes his head "is okay Gare-bear, after all" Eli said before looking at Ash "all I could do is believe in Ash that he could do it" he added

Ash smile brightly "that's right Eli, I win my first gym badge" he said showing his bug badge

Eli cheers "Alright! I'm so happy for you!"

Anthony nods "oh so you finally defeated Viola, congratulations" he said honestly

Clemont ask the new guy "uhm... excuse me but who's-"

Alexa cuts Clemont off "oh Roy welcome back! How are you?"

Roy replies "I've been good thank you for asking, Alexa"

"You know him Alexa?" Serena ask

"Anthony and Roy were friend since they were babies and they're actually the best tag team in Kalos" Viola explains to Serena

Roy bows "is nice to meet you all" He then stands up and looks at Ash and the others "I can see that these are your friends" Roy asked as he looks at Eli who nods

"yeah Roy, these are Ash, Serena, Gary, Clemont, and his little sister Bonnie" Ash, Gary and Clemont seems to not have a good feeling when they see Roy

Bonnie claims "And I am soon to be his future sister in law!" Eli blushes as Clemont scolds "Bonnie!" Bonnie pulls her tongue out with a wink

'I see so I have competition other than Anthony' Roy thinks and nods "I see so I guess Anthony isn't the only competition, I have?" 

Eli looks at Roy confusedly "what competition?" He asked

Anthony pet Eli's head "nothing for you to worry about, cutie~" he said before he winked which Eli rolls his eyes playfully

"Thanks for letting me hang out with you Anthony, I actually have more fun that I thought I had. and is really nice to meet you Roy, I hope this isn't the last time we see each other" Eli admits

Antony nods "let's hope to go on another date and I might bring Roy along next time" he said

Eli smile "that'll be awesome!" He replied

Roy takes the back of Eli's hand and kisses it causing Eli to blush the other boys to widen their eyes in shock the girls notice their reaction which they look at each other giggle while viola takes a picture 

Clemont then looks back at Viola and Alexa to change the subject "Okay then we're heading off now!" Eli ask "really? to where?"

Gary answers "Cyllage City, where we're going to get our second badge" Eli then nods "alright then"

Ash Bows "thanks again" Pika nods as well "Pika Pika!"

"Until we meet again, guys" Eli waves at them as Sylveon looks at Anthony and Roy and nods "Veon!" which both older males realize what it meant they both high five each other

Gary waves "Later" 

Serena then bow "bye bye"

Bonnie says  while waving off "Viola, Alexa, Helioptile, Anthony, Roy, Bye!" Dedenne wave as well "De Denene!" Our heroes walks off to where they believe is to Cyllage city 

Alexa yells while she and Viola were waving off "I'll be seeing you guys really soon!"

Anthony and Roy yell "take care cutie!/Bunny!" Ash Gary and Clemont growls with jealousy Bonnie notice something 

"Eli what's that Envelope that you're holding" Bonnie ask as everyone else also notice "Is a souvenir from modeling for Anthony and Roy's photographer" Bonnie looks at Eli with Star in her eyes "so cool!" 

Serena ask "you modeled" Eli nods "yeah since My sister was the one who designed the outfit me, Anthony and Roy wore" 

"I want to see them!" the other three Males yells which surprises Eli and at the same time a Idea occur in his head

"you want to see them?" Eli asked as Clemont Gary and Ash looked at different directions to hide their bushing face and nod "I will..." they looks at Eli "if you can catch me, let's go Sylveon!" Sylveon nods "Veon!" Sylveon cried while running behind his trainer

Ash was the first to yell while running off "hey don't run off like that!" 

Gary runs after Ash and Eli "not to fast Eli!" 

Clemont whines "Why do we have to run?" Clemont then runs off causing Bonnie and Serena to laugh and run after them 

And so after three hard-fought battles against Viola and her brother Anthony, Ash and Eli have receive the bug badge. Now our heroes set of to Cyllage City Gym as the Journey continues
