Clara was done shopping now she can go and watch ash battle just when Clara was going toward the gym, she saw ash running her way at a fast speed Clara freaked out see him running so fast and quickly caught him before he lost balance "Clara I need your help!!!" Said ash

As brock and misty caught up with him"wha,what happened shouldn't you be at the gym battling?"asked Clara looking at ash seeing it was only an hour since she left to go shopping

___________

After hearing about what happened in the gym Clara had understanding of what ash needed help with, that Sabrina was too much , ash won't win with Pikachu against a psychic type like kadabra

And putting them in a doll house really!,now ash needs a ghost pokemon to battle against Sabrina

Ash could get a ghost pokemon from lavender town but he knows that Clara has a ghost pokemon aka smoke so he is asking for a favor

"You know ash I don't have a problem but smoke could have some problems, he likes you as a person but not as his trainer so you have to do some convincing to get Smoke's help" said Clara as ash was ready to do anything

"Alright then, smoke I need your help" said Clara taking out Smoke for its pokeball

When smoke came out he looked at Clara with a smile and hugged her "yes, yes I love you too but I need you to do me a favor smoke" said Clara Making smoke confused

"You see smoke ash really needs the March badge and he is up against a psychic pokemon type as you know ghost types are stronger than them so can you help ash just this once he isn't asking for much" said Clara as smoke eyes widen at Clara thinking he was being abandoned Clara saw through

"No no no I would never abandon you, your my family, it's just helping ash get the badge than I will treat you to a lots of your favorite snacks, and I'm not handing you over smoke" said Clara as ash nodded

"Please smoke your my only hope, I will do anything you ask me for two days, please " said ash bagging

As smoke though for a minute and grined looking at ash, so ash was required to hand over all his snack for two whole day for this favor he would also have to buy him anything he wanted

Ash painful agreed, as Clara, brock and misty saw Ash's money was sold to smoke for two whole days

____________

"Alright ash if you want to battle with a ghost pokemon you should know all his attacks" said Clara "you should first have a battle experiences together so you will battle brock" she added

Ash nodded as smoke was besides him eating a ice cream that was bought for him by ash Clara handed ash a note with all Smoke attacks, 1,lick 2,shadow wipe 3,shadow ball, 4,hypnosis 5,shadow punch, 6, confuse ray and the final move Clara and smoke made 7,shadow trap ,

"Wow these are great and powerful moves" said ash reading the note

Smoke finished the ice cream and looked ready to battle

"Alright brock, ash ready?" asking Clara as they nodded

"Let the battle began!" Said Clara as brock took out zubat

"Alright smoke let's go" said Ash and smoke nodded he still didn't like the idea of being trained by someone else but he did like ash so it wasn't that bad and he did get benefit from him so win win

"Zubat Wing attack" said brock as zubat wings glowed white and attacked smoke

"Smoke dodge it" said ash smoke did as it was told

"Smoke shadow wipe" said ash as smoke disappeared and appeared behind zubat and some shadow shot out from smoke's back and attacked zubat like a wipe, zubat couldn't dodge all of it

"Zubat supersonic" said brock

As zubat launched a sonic attack at smoke, smoke was overwhelmed by the sound but it he got over it "smoke get out of there and use shadow punch" said ash as smoke got out of the supersonic and came face to face with zubat smoke's claws glowed purple and he punched zubat knocking zubat out "zubat is unable to battle, which means ash is the victor" said Clara

"Alright smoke thank you" said ash "now let's go get that badge"

But before he could move forward he was stopped by smoke he pointed toward the city

"Huh?"

"Smoke wants more snacks so he would like it if you would first go buy some" said Clara

As ash was dumbfounded by the request as smoke was dragging him towards the city to eat more snacks

Brock, misty and Clara had to follow as they were kinda hungry too
