Chapter 29 how they all met and a traveling companion

Lucy P.O.V

When I think back on to how we all met it makes me smile it was over 2 and 1/2 years ago when I first saw Kash as he was walking with a man I would later find out was Professor Birch as walking with a Pokemon I have never seen before. He had a charm that seem to came from him, I was wondering what he would feel about my trusted partner that many have criticized when they seen her. As I decided to take Winona fishing again to try and find that Feebas I want as I love his evolution as it is a beautiful Pokémon like my partner, it will also take some stress off of Winona as her challenge to become the gym leader against that Shiftry will be a challenge.

As we were heading to the lake I saw that man again that time without Kash as he was playing with some Seedot and Oddish as we find it odd we leave, not knowing at the time his reputation. As we are arriving at the lake we start fishing after a few hours we noticed some commotion in the distance in the water heading straight towards us as I saw Kash and his Carvanha as well of a few Milotic and Gyarados being chased by some older man outnumbered with Sharpedo, Tentacruel and a larger Gyarados. When I heard

Kash "You have to get away as these are some bad people" as me and Winona look at each other and nod and say

Lucy/Winona " Nope as we can't let bad people get their way" as we call out our Pokémon, me Serviper and Arbok and Winona Swellow and Alataria. As he reaches the shore his Houndoom comes out from nowhere along with an Absol from a on top of a Gyarados, as he reaches for a Pokeball and a Scyther appears and they started attacking the men that were chasing him.

Lucy "Arbok use sludge bomb and Serviper use venoshock " I see Winona and her Pokémon attacking as well and taking care of a few of them. As well of Kash taking care of the one riding the large Gyarados who seems to be in command, with his Houndoom and what I thought as the time his Absol, while his Scyther was taking collars off of the water Pokémon. As I marvel at the strength of his 2 Pokémon battling the leader we slowly round them up at his assistance and tie them when one of them calls out

?????" Your the Hunter aren't you, the one everyone is talking about" as he looks at Kash and gets a nod and smile in return as he turns to us

Kash "Nice to meet you ladies, I'm Kash also known as the poacher Hunter, as these guys are, as little Absol here warned me when we met a few hours ago." as he rubs it head as it enjoys surpising us both

Lucy" Wait that Absol isn't yours yet he is close to you allowing you to touch him, they are known to be disaster Pokemon" as he smiles

Kash "Pokemon are often misunderstood, Absol here I met today and hes alrady a freind with me and Cinder here, I have a speacial connection with Pokemon as I understand them much more than other people think. Take your Serviper for example, alot of people don't like them as they are poison type as well of their menacing appearence, but I see her as a strong and loyal Pokemon with grace." As I smile at his opinion of my battle partner and blush a little seeing his strong conviction as Winona saw me realised she has more teasing material as she sees me as a little sister thanks to being a couple of years older.

Winona " We came here to find a Feebas for my Lucy here as shes been looking for the last few weeks" as he turns to me and

Kash" You can blame these guys here they have been capturing all the babies to control the parents to make more money, give me a second" as he walks to the Milotics by the water that are still here when he comes back and tells me

Kash "As you helped to capture them, while I released all the baby Pokemon, the agreed to allow for you raise a Feebas with one of the best potential as long as you care for it" as I ask

Lucy " How can you understand them, and thank you for that" as I am talking I see a Feebas come to edge of the water and allows for me to catch her with a dive ball I prepared

Kash" Lets just say it's one of my strengths, now for something important Absol would you like to be my Pokemon" as he turns to him playing with Cinder who turns in response

Absol " Absol, absol, ab" as I have no idea what he is saying Kash calls for Cinder to his side and they start to battle before Absol seems to win with energy to spare as I hear Kash by Cinder side as Absol speaks again to him

Kash " I get it, it is to early for me but next time we meet when my journey begins we will battle again to see if it's time" as I wonder how he is doing that

As he returns his Pokemon and says bye and tells us we will meet again after getting our contact info, as we continue to make him through out the years.

Back to present

As I watch him and think about that I still have afew weeks of vacation and decide to ask him it

Lucy "Since I have time why don't we travel together Kash along with your journey, I think it would be fun wouldn't it" as I see him look at me suprised

Kash "I would love to Lucy, and I am going to be looking for our freind again that helped us to meat for a rematch" as I think of that Absol and thank him in my mind

Lucy "When are we leaving" as I see Winona smirking at me agains as she sees me eager

Kash "I was thinking tomorrow now that your traveling with me, as I was going to spend a few days with you 2"
