Plane/POV: Ashlie

I got stuck sitting between Goomba and Ray on the plane, at least Chuster is with me!

"So Ashlie, how'd you sleep?" Ray asked me and I smiled.

"I slept great!" I giggled, "Right Chuster?"

"Oh yeah!" Chuster chuckled, "I wonder what we should do..."

"How about we chat with some friends on board?" Goomba suggested, "I know some friends that would love to talk to you two!"

"Oh? Who are they?" I wondered and Goomba smirked.

"You'll see." Goomba stated and took me to first class, "Hey Tari, over here!"

(Sorry about lack of size)

"Eyy, Goomba, long time no see!" The new dude chuckled, "I see you brought the adorable one!"

"Why does everyone consider me adorable?" I sighed, "Anyways, I'm Ashlie."

"I know, Goomba told me, I'm Tari!" He stated, "This is my buddy Gorochu!"

(GOROCHU!!!!!!)

"Wow, that's that Pokemon?" I gasped in excitement.

"It's Gorochu, the true final form of the Pichu line." Goomba stated, "Gorochu is hard to beat, and Tari's Gorochu only lost to a few Pokemon, the first Pokemon it has lost to in that state is Rai when he was a Pikachu."

"It would've been embarrassing if it weren't for the fact it tied with Tobias's Darkrai at full HP, after his first two Pokemon couldn't land a hit!" Tari stated, "That was awkward."

"Anyways...I'm gonna look around with Chuster, see ya later." I stated, walking away, "That was fun."

"Agreed!" Chuster chuckled, but while we weren't looking we bumped into someone, "OW!"

"Oh, sorry!" I stated, "Didn't see you." I got up and looked at who I bumped into.

"Oh it's oka-" We looked at each other, and I realized it was my friend: Liz! And she seemed to recognize me as well because she smiled.

"Liz!" I exclaimed as I hugged her, "It's been a while!" Liz returned the hug and giggled.

"It sure has!" Liz giggled, "I see you and Chuster are doing well, I saw your performance in the tournament, great job! I didn't get to see any of them but I heard you won all of them before the tourney was called off! Great job!"

"Thanks Liz, it means a lot, me and my Pokemon really tried our best!" I chuckled, "Right Chuster?"

"YEAH!" Chuster laughed, and me and Liz joined in after him.

"Anyways, dad and my sisters are also on the plane ride, we got lucky to get seats next to each other." Liz stated, "How's Goomba doing?"

"Great, finally got over the tragic stuff, so he's happy!" I exclaimed, then I looked at her wrist, she was still wearing the Z-Ring me and Goomba made for her, "I see you still have my gift on!"

"Yeah, it's super nice, and it feels like a reminder to keep going when times get tough." Liz stated, "Anyways, caught any new Pokemon recently?"

"Well not really, I haven't gotten a chance yet, but I learned of Gorochu, the real final stage of Pichu!" I giggled, and Liz seemed shocked.

"Gorochu actually exists?!" Liz gasped, "Amazing!"

"Yeah, according to Goomba it's Electric Fighting!" I stated.

"Hey Liz." Goomba chuckled, walking to us, "How have you been?"

"Great!" Liz exclaimed, "Me, dad, and my sisters got the invitation, but we couldn't make it in time before 'that', so we just wanted to say hi to Ashlie."

"Yeah, how is your family doing?" Goomba asked, and Liz told him that they were doing great, "Good, well, me and my buddies are having a party, if you want you and your family can come too Liz."

"I'll have to talk to dad about it, but anyways, nice seeing you again Goomba!" Liz giggled, and Goomba smiled and gave us a group hug, "And there's the group hug!"

"Yep, like always..." Ashlie giggled, "Anyways, I'm hope you can come to the party, it'll be fun!"

"I'll talk to my family to see if they want to, but it's sounds like a blast!" Liz stated, "Anyways, I better head back to them soon, the plane might get to the point we need to sit down soon, but it was nice seeing you again Ashlie, you too Chuster!" Liz rubbed Chuster's cheek, which Chuster likes having that happen, then she went back to her seat as I went back to sitting between Goomba and Ray.

"Attention passengers, we'll be arriving in Johto in ten minutes." The intercom stated, and we were all excited.

(Thanks to my buddy DollsInTheNight for letting me have him and his daughters be in the story, and thanks to SMG_Tari for letting me have him in this as well!)

(Also Ashlie's outfit for the next chapter for the party:

(Yeah...)

Also I might make a rp for Ashlie in Sinnoh because of the Sinnoh Remakes, anyways, thanks for reading, and have a good day!
