CHAPTER 33 - A SUMMER OF DISCOVERY! PART 1 - FRIENDS AND RIVALS!
Previously in Pokemon Chaos and Order...
Ash and Skyla had a two-on-two Gym Battle at the Mistralton City Gym. Ash was trying to prove a point to Skyla, that you can't predict every possible outcome of a battle without actually battling.
Though Skyla was in denial throughout most of the battle, after Ash's Fletchinder evolved into Talonflame, she couldn't deny the fact that she had lost, awarding Ash with his sixth Gym Badge.
.......................................................................
After a quick trip to Nurse Joy to rest up their Pokemon, our heroes are refreshed and ready to head out for the next town. "Alright then..." Nate said while looking at his map. "The closest city that has a Gym is Ici... Ica... Icaru... Icy... Arceus...?! You know what! Read it yourselves!"
Nate then gave his map to Ash, Serena and Dawn, and then pointed to the city he was referring to. "It's pronounced Icirrus City..." Dawn said.
Ash then smirked while adjusting his cap. "Alright then! Icirrus City here we co..." "WAIT A MINUTE!" Ash was interrupted by a female voice coming from behind him. The gang turned around, and to their surprise, they saw Skyla.
"Skyla?" Ash said in a surprised tone. "What are you doing here?" Skyla smiled before pulling out a piece of paper from one of her pockets and handing it over to Ash.
"Read it out loud..." Skyla requested. "O... kay..." Ash said in an even more confused tone, but he didn't argue. He cleared his throat and began to read:
.......................................................................
Dear mister Ash Ketchum
I heard that you have recently acquired your sixth Gym Badge. First and foremost, allow me to congratulate you for your impressive accomplishment in just over 2 months. Second of all, I am opening a Pokemon Summer Camp near Lentimas Town. I'd be honored if you and your friends join us there! It's a two week trip from Mistralton City to Lentimas Town on foot so I asked Skyla to fly you there. I hope to see you here soon!
Signed, Professor Aurea Juniper.
.......................................................................
"Cool! A Pokemon Summer Camp!" Serena squealed in delight, remembering the good times she and Ash had on Professor Oak's Pokemon Summer Camp all those years ago. "Yeah! This might be fun!" Dawn replied. "So what do you say Ash?" Nate asked.
"Sure!" Ash exclaimed. "Yay!" The three said in unison. "Wonderful! Now go on to the Mistralton Airport!" Skyla commanded. "I'm sorry, I'm a very busy woman with a very busy schedule..."
Our heroes retrieved their Pokemon from the Mistralton City Nurse Joy and headed to the Mistralton Airport. Once there they went through the EXTREMELY boring process of security, and within 2 hours they were on the plane to Lentimas Town.
Ash and Serena sat on one side of the plane, while Dawn and Nate sat on the other. While Nate was tired from all the airport maintenance, Ash and Serena actually took a moment to marvel at the stunning view they got from the airplane window, despite Serena's slight fear of heights.
"Don't worry Serena!" Ash reassured her. "We're all protected inside the plane!" If this had come from anyone else, even her own brother, this statement wouldn't have helped Serena all that much. However, coming from Ash, this actually made her feel safer and more comfortable.
After around 45 minutes Skyla spoke to the four teens through the speaker. "Dear guests we are scheduled to arrive in Lentimas Town in around two minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts and make sure your seats are positioned upwards. The current temperature on Lentimas Town is about 65° Fahrenheit and it's a clear blue sky. I hope you enjoyed flying on Skyla Airlines!"
After said 2 minutes the plane landed and our heroes got out to see Lentimas Town.
Next to the sea they are greeted by Professor Juniper. "Hey Ash!" She greeted Ash happily. "I'm so happy you made it! And Serena?!" She said surprised. "No offence, but judging by your attitude when you came to my lab around 2 months ago, I'm surprised you agreed to come!"
Serena giggled. "I'm a changed person Professor!" She exclaimed happily. Professor Juniper smiled. "Wonderful!" She stated. "Now come over and meet your 'classmates'..."
Professor Juniper lead the four teenagers up to an amphitheater-like hall. Once there they were greeted by many familiar faces. Sawyer, Kevin, Lillie, Barry, Red, Gary, Leaf, Star, Marco and Shauna. Other than them, the group saw many unfamiliar faces in the crowd of participants.
Two in particular were sitting in the same table as Shauna, being part of the same team as her. One of them was a boy with grey eyes and orange hair. He was wearing a green shirt with white sleeves and black pants. He had a camera wrapped around his neck.
The other was an overweight boy with black hair and brown eyes. He had a black shirt with the cyan imprint of a Vanillite in it. He had short orange pants.
Our heroes were introduced to Shauna's friends, named Trevor and Tierno, and quickly sat down to listen to Professor Juniper's introduction.
"Welcome everyone and thank you for making it!" She said. "Today we begin our week of summer discovery! Now today we're going to start slow, today we're just gonna split you up into your assigned groups and test out your Pokemon! If you look at the monitor you'll see the groups!"
Everyone turned to face the monitor. These were the assigned teams:
.......................................................................
Team Froakie:
• Ash Ketchum
• Serena Yvonne
• Nate Yvonne
• Dawn Berlitz
Team Squirtle:
• Shauna Saunders
• Trevor Stevens
• Tierno O'Brian
• Sawyer Shota
Team Mudkip:
• Red Ketchum
• Gary Oak
• Leaf Greene
• Barry Allen (yep...)
Team Oshawott:
• Kevin Kong
• Lillie Mohn
• Star Beautifly
• Marco Diaz
.......................................................................
"Now go to your cabins, we'll be starting soon!" Professor Juniper said. Ash, his friends and the rest went to their respective cabins.
Ash was the first one to walk into his and his friends' cabin, but he's met by an unexpected sight. He saw 5 people inside the cabin. One of them was May but she was the only one he recognized. One of the people in the cabin was a kid with glasses, dark-brown eyes and "oxford-blue" hair (not even sure what that means).
The other three people had lemon-blond hair, two girls (one looks to be about the same age as the little boy), and a boy, which seemed to be around their age. The boy had glasses, blue eyes and a blue jumpsuit. The little girl also had blue eyes and was wearing a brown shirt, white skirt and pink shoes.
(Thought I left them out did you?)
The last girl had light grey eyes. She had a white shirt with a red collar, two white, fingerless gloves and a white and red stripped skirt.
"Um..." was the only thing Ash could say. "Did we arrive at the wrong cabin?" Serena asked confused. Suddenly, the little girl's eyes lit up in delight. "YOU'RE A KEEPER!" She exclaimed happily before kneeling down next to Serena and extending her arm.
"PLEASE TAKE CARE OF MY BROTHER!" She said. Serena was confused and a bit uncomfortable, not knowing how to answer to the little girl's weird request. The blonde boy however was freaking out. "BONNIE! I TOLD YOU TO STOP THIS A MILLION TIMES!" He yelled out while grabbing her and taking her away from Serena.
Nate chuckled. "Does she do that often?" He asked. The blonde girl sighed. "Too often..." she replied with an annoyed tone. The blond boy, after disciplining his little sister, turns over to our heroes.
"I am so, so sorry about that!" He said. Ash chuckles. "Don't worry about that!" He said. "I'm Ash! This is my partner Pikachu. And these are my friends, Serena, Nate and Dawn." Ash introduced himself and his friends to the strangers.
"I'm Clemont..." the blond boy said. "This is my little sister Bonnie, my friend Korrina, and these were our roommates, May and her little brother Max..." he introduced them.
Dawn had a puzzled look on her face. "Were?" She said. "In past tense?" May and Max walked up to Dawn. "We actually did this summer camp experience before..." she explained. "We came back to help Professor Juniper with the camp tasks..."
"I guess you're the new Team Froakie..." said Korrina. Our heroes nod in unison. "Good! So I guess we should clear the cabin for you..." she continued before walking out of the door, followed shortly by the rest.
"Just think about it kay?!" Bonnie asked in an innocent tone before walking away with her brother and friends. "That has to be the weirdest and most awkward way I ever met a couple..." Nate said.
"Couple?" Ash, Serena and Dawn asked in unison. "I can't be the only one who felt the chemistry between Clemont and Korrina!" He said. "I think I have a talent for sensing romantic chemistry!"
Serena suddenly blushed. 'Does he know?' She thought, freaking out. Ash then stretched his arm upwards. "I'm ready to start the day!" He exclaimed before throwing his bag at a nearby bed and running out the door.
The others laughed at Ash's impatient attitude, before placing their bags on their beds and walking out the door. Our heroes then gather at the beach with all the other participants of the Summer Camp.
"The first task of the day is a Tag Battle!" Professor Juniper exclaimed. "Take a look at the list I made and partner up!" She said while showing everybody the list:
.......................................................................
Ash and Serena vs. Star and Marco
Dawn and Barry vs. Shauna and Trevor
Red and Leaf vs. Gary and Nate
Tierno and Sawyer vs. Kevin and Lillie
.......................................................................
"Alright! We're partners, Serena!" Ash said excitingly. "Yeah... great..." Serena muttered while blushing. Our heroes and their friends then walk up to their individual battlefield.
Dawn decided to battle with her newly-captured Togekiss and Barry with his Staraptor. Shauna battled with her Swirlix and Trevor battled with his Aerodactyl. Red battled with his Lapras and Leaf battled with her Nidoqueen. Gary battled with his Electivire and Nate battled with Chesnaught. Tierno battled with his Ludicolo and Sawyer battled with his Grovyle (which evolved from Treecko). Kevin battled with his Red Gyarados and Lillie battled with her Clefairy.
(Barry's Staraptor)
(Dawn's Togekiss)
(Shauna's Swirlix)
(Trevor's Aerodactyl)
(Red's Lapras)
(Leaf's Nidoqueen)
(Gary's Electivire)
(Tierno's Ludicolo)
(Sawyer's Grovule)
(Kevin's Gyarados)
(Lillie's Clefairy)
Ash, Serena, Star and Marco then stood on opposite sides of the battlefield. "You definitely need some Training..." Ash whispers to the Pokeball he's holding. "EEVEE! I CHOOSE YOU!" He exclaimed while throwing the Pokeball forward, releasing his Pokemon.
Eevee let out a cute squeal and stood up, ready for battle. Serena looked at Ash's Eevee with confusion. "When did you manage to catch an Eevee?!" She asked in confusion. Ash blinked, before something in his mind clicked.
"Oh yeah! You didn't see it!" He said. "Eevee hatched from the egg that I got from that Mallow girl!" (Chapter 16). "It hatched just a few days ago, and it helped me and Nate take down that crazy Malamar..." (Chapter 28).
"Awesome!" Serena said in delight, before grabbing her own Pokeball. "AXEW! I CHOOSE YOU!" She said while throwing the Pokeball forward, releasing her Pokemon. "Well Marco, let's show these guys how it's done!" Star said with a cocky tone.
"You bet Star!" Marco replied. "SAWK! LET'S GO!" He exclaimed, releasing his Sawk. "VIVILLON! LET'S GET THIS SHOW, ON THE ROAD!" Star exclaimed while throwing her Pokeball forward, releasing her Vivillon.
"Alright Eevee! USE SHADOW BALL!" Ash exclaimed. Eevee then forms a black and purple ball of energy with a red core and purple sparks surrounding it near its mouth. Eevee then fired the Shadow Ball at Sawk.
"ALRIGHT SAWK! USE KARATE CHOP!" Marco commanded. Sawk's hand glows white and it strikes the Shadow Ball with the side of its open hand, destroying it. Star made the next move. "ALRIGHT VIVILLON! QUIVER DANCE!" She commanded.
Vivillon's body begins to glow white. It then starts dancing around itself, leaving behind afterimages of itself. "Quiver Dance is a move that raises Special Attack, Special Defence and Speed..." Ash explains to Serena.
"Then we'll hit it with a Physical Attack!" Serena said confidently. "AXEW! USE DUAL CHOP!" She commanded. Axew's tusks then grow twice their size and glow purple and green. Axew then slashes Vivillon twice with its tusks, the second slice sending Vivillon tumbling backwards.
"Good job Serena!" Ash congratulated Serena, causing her to blush. She giggled nervously. "Th... th... thanks..." she stuttered. Marco then gritted his teeth. "SAWK! USE LOW SWEEP ON EEVEE!" He commanded.
Sawk then charged at Eevee and kicks low, aiming for its legs. "ALRIGHT EEVEE! USE DIG!" Ash commanded. Eevee then digs its way under the ground, making Sawk unsure of where it's going to attack.
"VIVILLON! USE PSYCHIC!" Star commanded. Vivillon's eyes then glowed cyan. Suddenly Eevee was ripped out from under the ground, surrounded by a cyan outline. "USE DRAGON RAGE!" Serena commanded.
Axew creates a light purple orb of energy inside of its stomach. It then fires a powerful fiery orb of purple and orange energy in the shape of a dragon at Vivillon. "KARATE CHOP!" Marco commanded. Sawk then karate chops the Dragon Rage, destroying it.
"SWIFT LET'S GO!" Ash commanded, seeing that Star and Marco are distracted. Eevee's tail glows white and multiple yellow stars with golden sparkles around them come out from its tail and hit both Sawk and Vivillon.
Vivillon then lost its concentration and released Eevee from its Psychic bondage. Ash looks at Serena while Star looks at Marco. "I think it's time to finish it!" Ash and Star say simultaneously. "Agreed!" Serena and Marco reply in unison.
"LAST RESTORT!" "DRACO METEOR!" "HURRICANE!" "CLOSE COMBAT!" Ash, Serena, Star and Marco all command in unison. Eevee, Axew, Vivillon and Sawk then prepare to unleash their strongest attacks when...
BEEP!
"Time's up!" Professor Juniper exclaimed while waving her stopwatch above her head. "Well, that was an incredible bonding exercise, but our scanners were able to finish their scans of your Pokemon. So if you'd like to find out more about your Pokemon, come look at the monitor!"

"Cool!" Ash exclaimed while seeing his Pokemon's statistics. "Huh... Tyrurnt's a girl..." Nate said in surprised. "I guess I should nickname her 'Blue' then..."
"Not funny bro..." Serena said before turning to look at her Sylveon's statistics. "Cute Charm?" She says in confusion. "Cute Charm is an Ability that causes a Pokemon of the opposite gender to become infatuated with Sylveon if they make contact..." Ash explained.
Serena blushed slightly. "Good to know..." she said. "Well friends that's all for today..." Professor Juniper said. "Please return to your cabins and get a good rest, because tomorrow the REAL summer camp experience begins!"
All of the participants of the Summer Camp then returned to their cabins. Before Team Froakie (Ash, Serena, Nate and Dawn) enter their cabin, they're met by Shauna and her friends.
"It's great to see you again Serena!" Shauna says gleefully. "It's good to see you again too Shauna!" Serena replies. "I guess it's time for a proper introduction..." Shauna says, pointing at her friends. "These are Tierno and Trevor!" She said but was interrupted by Tierno shoving her to the side, much to Trevor's worry.
"I must say this!" He stated while kneeling next to Serena. "You're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!" Serena sweat dropped after that statement. 'Second time today?' She thought. 'What is it about me that makes people want to propose to me...?'
"Um... excuse me..." Ash butted in. "I don't know if you're noticing but you're making her uncomfortable..." "Oh yeah?!" Tierno said, semi-angrily and semi-teasingly. "And what makes you think you know what she's feeling?"
"I bet you're just jealous!" He continued. "I bet he doesn't let you talk to any boys! Please come with me and be my princeeeeeeeessssssss..." Tierno was unable to finish his sentence since his Ludicolo had used Thunder Punch on his gut, paralyzing him.
Ludicolo then shakes its head in disapproval. "Please... think about it..." Tierno tried to say through the slight stinging sensation of the paralysis, while his Ludicolo carried him to Team Squirtle's cabin.
"Well..." Ash said. "That felt strangely familiar..." "Are you okay Shauna?" Trevor asks with worry in his voice. Shauna blushed. "S... sure..." she stuttered, causing Trevor to blush as well.
"Ahem..." Nate then cleared his throat, catching Shauna's and Trevor's attention. "I'm really sorry..." Shauna apologized. "I don't know what got to him... Tierno's not usually like this..."
"It's okay..." Serena said nervously before walking to the cabin. Ash and the others said their goodbyes to Shauna and Trevor before walking to the cabin after Serena.

Hey guys! Infinityalbi10 here! First of all, shoutout to GaryOak01, MeyokoChan, -_Dark_Soul_-, SylveonPink, lljustabooksnailll and Sakura_Uzumakiii for following me. Thanks a lot guys! Once again, it has been a while since I updated. This time it was because of writer's block. This chapter was actually meant to be like a biography chapter for our main heroes' Pokemon (and it shows).
I'm also torn about rather I should make Tierno a good guy or a bad guy (reading Alolan Danger has left a bad taste in my mouth whenever I talk about Tierno). So I need your help for this! Leave your opinion in the comments!
Anyways I've babbled long enough! Next chapter's summary:
Our heroes continue their adventure throughout Professor Juniper's Summer Camp. After some scary stories told by Ash, our heroes get lost in a dark forest.
Ash and Serena are split from the rest and are haunted by the spirit of a little girl, constantly calling out for a Lunar Wing, all the while a nightmarish Pokemon stalks them from the shadows.
What does that mean for our heroes? Can they help the ghost of the girl? Will the Poke-Stalker catch up to them?
Find out next time... AS THE JOURNEY CONTINUES!
Thanks for reading! 😊
