Pokemon: Bond Evolutions of Pokémon

Max was not dissatisfied or surprised at all when Ash had defeating his father, Norman, and getting the Balance Badge from the Petalburg City Gym.

After being on a such a ling journey with Ash, he knew and saw that Ash's strength was something that even his father could never achieve, so in this battle, no matter which one of, Ash or Norman wins, he will gracefully accept it.

Although it would bring him some surprise if his father could actually defeat Ash, but he stayed on the neutral side throughout the whole battle.

After getting his fifth Gym Badge, the Balance Badge, according to the plan they had previously made, the group will go to Fortree City to get Ash's sixth Badge. And that was still a very long way to get there from where they were.

But now that the group had returned to Petalburg City, the group decided as a whole to go to Littleroot Town and visit Professor Birch. The last time they saw each other was months before in Dewford Island and investigating the the Evil Teams in the Hoenn Region.

"This feels so nostalgic, I rode this road to pick up my little Torchic from Professor Birch in Littleroot Town, and that's also when I met Ash there for the first time. And who can now believe we are together; from meeting you because of an accidental mistake. I really have to thank that Duskull if I ever see it again, for bringing us together." She said while holding Ash's hand near her chest.

May wanted to feel a nostalgic, so she took Ash and the gang to use this road from her home in Petalburg City to go to the Lab via this road.

"I still remember that I was not nearly as good at dealing with Pokémon at the time as I am right now, and I was so frightened by that Duskull in this forest right here that I almost fell out of itz But now, I have become a much more capable and excellent Pokémon Coordinator, and nothing like that Duskull can scare me." She said with a sheepish smile.

Seeing her like this, Ash and Brock looked at each other and smiled. May was a very talented Pokémon Coordinator and they bith believe that she really had the talent to become one of the very few Top Pokémon Coordinator.

Unexpectedly, as soon as May finished what she was saying, her same old friend jumped out to visit her.

It was the very same Duskull that had appeared before May before she had started her journey and met Ash. Now it was once again in front of May, but this time she had a group.

"Ahhh!" May still screamed and hurriedly subconsciously hid behind Ash, as if he was her brave knight in shining armor.

"LaRue!"

Ralts was also a little frightened, and then she screamed fiercely, and her whole body suddenly glowed with a blue light.

Ralts was having fun in Ash's hair while eating some candies he gave her that she couldn't even detect this incoming Duskull.

Pikachu and Ash both sensed this Duskull for a while, but they didn't do anything as Duskull didn't have any bad or malicious intentions against them at all.

Duskull even looked very happy to see the group here.

This Duskull, like most of its kind and other Ghost-type Pokémon's, loves to scare people out of the blue, but now he was trapped by a powerful Psychic bubble and smashed hard to the ground without being able to put up any defenses.

"Ralts, you seem to be getting more and more aggressive nowadays, haven't you." Ash patted her little head gently, making sure that she doesn't feel bad about this. Looking at her now, Ash thought that she might evolve very soon in the near future.

After apologizing to Duskull and giving him a few of his System made Ghost-type Pokémon food as an apology, the group continued on their way to Littleroot Town, but unexpectedly, Duskull got up from the ground after finishing his food and followed the group to where they were going.

Suddenly, a large pickup truck jumped down from one fk the hillside, and then drifted to a stop right in front of Ash and his group. The driver was naturally the mentally unstable Professor Birch, "Ash, May, Brock, and Max, long time no see! How are you guys doing nowadays? How did you all end up coming here out of the blue? You guys could have called me before, so I could have made a better entrance! Hahah!"

"Ash just got Dad's Balance Badge. So we want to come to Professor's Laboratory to have a look before we go off to our next destination." May replied with a grin.

"I see, I see, I just happened to need to go to the Littleroot Harbor to meet up with Professor Oak!" Professor Oak apologized quickly, "But I was too deep into that Wurmp- I mean field research and unknowingly forgot about out agreed upon time, so I wanted to take this high shortcut and rush out to there as soon as possible!"

'So you just perform your car stunts on this dangerous road without second thought?' Everyone in the group looked at him as if he was mentally challenged, which he most definitely and likely was.

Other than that, they all collectively decided to act like they didn't hear his accidental comment about what he did to that poor Wurmple.

"This is the first time he is coming over to meet me in my own Lab, I have to rush over there as soon as possible!" Professor Birch knew that his time was running out and he could no longer stay here to chat with everyone else.

"Okay, let's go together!" Ash and Brock hurriedly got in the car, while May and Max chose to go back to Professor Birch's Lab to wait for everyone else. After all, it will the first time for the two siblings to meet the world famous Professor Oak, whom they had both very admired very much, so they couldn't be rude enough to look dumb, which will not be that hard.

"Great, May, we can finally really see Professor Oak, and so soon!" Max immediately cheered up loudly.

However, May noticed that behind her, in the shadows between some of the large dark trees, something seemed to be hidden there, and she quickly dragged Max and herself to the area of Professor Birch's Laboratory to stay safe.

Ash and Brock also followed Professor Birch on the mountain road and took the dangerous shortcut to the Littleroot Harbor. On their way over to the harbor, Professor Birch suffered from his occupational disease, again, which at this point was not even surprising. He didn't even look at the road while he was driving. Instead, he was trying to talk to a Skarmory on the roadside and because of that, he did not even see the Camerupt in front of him.

They had to pull out their big guns for situations like that.

"Professor Birch, stop it!"

The bluish-pink light appeared on Ash's Psychic gradually began to rise again, and finally Professor Birch quickly stepped on the brakes as Ash instructed to stop it. The Camerupt was also very frightened by this random madman on the road.

"Ash, what's wrong? Why the sudden stop?" Professor Birch, who was in shock, turned around and asked.

"Professor Oak was on that truck!" Ash quickly jumped out of the pickup truck and gently patted the wild Camerupts back and then he went to the top of the truck. "I'm really sorry to scare you like that!"

"Huh, young man, what's the matter with you?" The old man driving the car did not blame Ash and the other two for their sudden stop, but smiled kindly and asked his question.

Ash walked around to the back of the cart, and sure enough, Professor Oak was napping behind it like there's no tomorrow, "Professor, wake up! You have work to do!!"

"Ash, I didn't expect to see you here so randomly!" The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was Ash of all people. Professor Oak was also very surprised to see him here when he hadn't mentioned to Ash that he was coming over to the Hoenn Region for work.

He waited and waited for Professor Birch to come, very much knowing that the psycho must have gone out to the field for his observation and lost track of time again like so many times before, so he tried his best to get to the Lab in his own. Unexpectedly, the first person he knew that he met in the Hoenn Region was Ash, the kid that was supposed to be in the other part of the region about now from what he got told.

"You seem to be very energetic, hahaha!" Professor Oak looked at Ash embarrassingly, and then noticed the Ralts and Togetic sitting on Ash's shoulder and his head.

He instantly recognized them from all the time he saw them by Ash and Misty.

"Oh my my, hello there, it's been a while since we last saw each other, right Ralts and Togetic? These two Pokémon are known to able to sense the emotions of those nearby, and they are so close to you. This must be that you three have a very strong bond!" Seeing that Ash was able to train these two Pokémon known for their emotion senses, Professor Oak was even more satisfied with Ash and his future.

Ralts can use the red horns on their heads to sense the emotions of the people and Pokémon around them. If their Trainer are in a happy mood, they will also feel and be happy in general. These little guy grew up practically being pampered by Ash.

Togetic can also sense the kindness in the hearts of other Pokémon and humans, and they will become listless if they are not around gentle or kindhearted people.

This little guy was the problem, but very loved Pokémon, of Ash and his group when she was still in her Togepi stage. Now that she has evolved and come to Ash's side, she is even more doted on than ever before.

But they were both very well-behaved and didn't cause any trouble to Ash at all, unless he told them to have their free time. They just stayed and played around Ash all day long.

After the two famous professors met, the conversation was not something that Ash or Brock could really intervene in. They returned to Professor Birch's Laboratory in the middle of their long conversation about being inside of a Pokémon.

The two siblings were now playing with a new batch of Royal Starter Pokémon's. She at the beginning didn't understand much or anything about even her Pokémon's, not to mention other kinds of Pokémon's. However, right now, she was really like a different person all together. This was the result of Ash's teaching her about the importance and how to train a Pokémon well, and Brock's careful planning of how and what to feed all of their Pokémon's in their long journey. She had really gained a lot.

"Ash!" Just as she was thinking of her boyfriend, Ash and the others came back, and May immediately rushed to greet them.

Max also hurriedly came to Professor Oaks side, "Professor Oakx, I can finally met you!"

This guy really took out a bunch of photos for Professor to sign, and then asked eagerly, "What kind of Pokémon are there in Professor Oak's Laboratory?"

Max was overwhelming the very tired Professor Oak, so Ash hit him in the head to calm him down, and he immediately stopped whatever he was saying.

Professor Oak looked at the siblings expressions of pure admiration and smiled, "Don't be so anxious, wait until I show you something better!"

With that said, Professor Oak took out three Poké Balls from his backpack. These are the three Royal Starters of Kanto Region, Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle.

Ash had long caught all the three of these Pokémon's in the Kanto Region, and now all three of them have elolved into their final form and are some of the strongest of their species, especially his Charizard.

There are very few Trainers and Pokémon's that can challenge him to use his full powers.

Suddenly, a light flashed from the corner of Ash's eyes, and Ralts had teleported out of his shoulders.

Tehy saw a low-powered Shadow Ball smashing over at something without any explanation, and the same Duskull hiding in the shadow not far away was knocked out.

"Huh, it's the same Duskull we met before!" May recognized it the instant she saw it.

The Duskull then just floated in front of Ash for a couple of seconds. His scarlet eyes under the skull mask showed a look of joy, but the laughter was cold and terrifying, not matching his very warm eyes. Ralts teleported back again and stepped on its head, but he didn't seem to care care about the existence of Ralts.

"Do you want to follow me?" Ash understood what Duskull was trying to tell him.

Duskull nodded heavily many times.

"Wow, I'm so envious!" Max hugged the in his Bulbasaur even harder and said with envy, "Big Bro has such a powerful aura that even wild Pokémon he has never seen before come to him to be captured! Now this is what I call aura."

Ash ignored whatever brain rot Max was saying and took out an unused Poké Ball, "Then please to meet you, Duskull!"

Duskull: 120/140
