It was in the morning, the sun was a giant ball of fire loamering over the streets, Ash woke up to the rays of sunlight bursting through a crack in the curtain and the sound of Fearows squeaking. It reminded Ash of his pidgeot, which he left to guard a group of pidgeys from a fearow. He wondered how it was now. He remembered butterfree, with its mate. He wondered how it was doing now.

"I swear that the next time I return to Kanto, I will meet them again" Ash made an oath.

(Time skip 12:00)

Ash had went into the lunch hall and had started eating lunch. Suddenly, Gary ran to Ash with an urgent look on his face.

"We are doomed" he said.

"How" asked Ash

"You sent Paul to spy right, Ashy boy. He has news: the traitors are planing to knock you out of the tournament by saying you abuse your Pokemon! They even made fake pictures of it! Furthermore, that Remo guy, he joined the traitors! The person you just battled also joined! Serena, Clemont and Bonnie are tricked by Remo in thinking that they were just friend clubs. They don't even know what they're up to! They also persuaded Mr Goodshow to join! They plan to first let Mr Goodshow on showing the fake pictures and then say they all agree! Some of the champions are tricked by Mr Goodshow and are also going to betray you and side with the traitors!This would make officer Jenny arrest you!"reported Gary whilst breathing heavily.

"Officer Jenny wouldn't arrest me, I helped her several times." said Ash.

"She would if the champions say so and even if she doesn't, most people would turn against you" said Gary with an alarmed look on his face. 

"Paul says the traitors are planning to arrest us as well" said Gary, pointing to the rest of Ash's rivals.

"Nooooooo, what can I do" asked Ash.

"I don't know" replied Gary."There is only a few hours left to make a plan"

"Pika pi" said Pikachu sadly, clearly aware of what was going to happen.

"I'd better think" said Ash.

Ding Dong. The clock struck one. Ash hadn't  thought of anything yet. He really wanted to give up but pikachu shouted "Pikachu pika chuuuuuu" to encourage him.

Ding Dong. The clock struck two. Ash still hadn't thought of anything yet. He really wanted to give up but Greninja appeared and reminded him that he was the only person who could do the bond phenomenon with Greninja. It gave him an idea: If the traitors said that he was abusing his Pokemon, then he could use Greninja to show that he had a strong bond with his Pokemon and if he was abusing them, there would be no way he could have a strong bond with them.
