Me: Hello and welcome to next, and hopefully last, story! I was reading another story with similar couples and I thought I'd try it myself! Enjoy!

Re-Arrival of Old Friends

"Ritchie has run out of pokemon! The winner of this round and the winner of the Indigo Plateau Tournament is Satoshi Seizon!" A large amount of the crowd cheered before it was cut off the T.V. being shut off. The brunnete sighed as she put down the remote and got up from the couch. This girl decided to watch the Indigo to see if she could learn anything before the new tournament would start. She didn't know much about it except it being called "The Survival Tournament".

A voice outside broke the girls' thoughts. Walking towards her door she snapped open her blinds to see a man about 18 years old, her age. He wore a black t-shirt with a blue zip up sweatshirt which was still open and dark grey pants and black and red shoes. He had sapphire blue eyes and had ebony hair, neck length with bangs covering his eyes. By the looks of it he was walking for a long while because he plopped onto the dewy grass, slinging his backpack off his shoulders.

She opened her door and walked outside. The man, hearing a door opening and closing he turned his head to see a girl his age walk towards him. She wore a dark green t-shirt with black jeans and had chestnut brown hair.

He immediately stood, "Hello." He greeted with a small smile on his face.

The girl returned the smile, "Hello sir. Are you alright? You look pretty tired." She said with a hint of concern.

The man just shook his head, "No, I'm alright Ms. Green." He said without thinking. The blue eyed man immediately slapped a hand over his mouth, silently cursing.

"Ms. Green's" eyes widened, "H-how do you know my last name? Who are you?" She directed a stern glare to the strange man. But the man didn't feel it and just chuckled softly as if remembering something.

He smirked, "Alright Ms. Leaf Green. My name is Satoshi Seizon and I know your name because I've heard of your accomplishments. You have competed in the Indigo League and ended up landing in the Top 8. The same goes with the Silver Conference. You also got into the Top 2 in the Hoenn League. It is a pleasure to be in acquaintance of the great Leaf Green." He bowed curtly with a smirk on his face at the flushed face of Leaf.

She turned her back to Satoshi, trying to hide her face, "Shut up." She mumbled. It was quiet for a minute when Leaf realized something, "Hey, aren't you the one who beat the Indigo League just a week ago?" She asked turning around. Her face was back to normal but her blue eyes held a glint.

Satoshi smirked, crossing his arms, "Yes. Quite easily actually." He could've sworn he heard Leaf mumble "I noticed." but he shook his head.

"Well, why are you here in Johto anyway? I thought you said you were headed to Sinnoh." Leaf said remembering a conference before the tournament ended about Satoshi.

Satoshi nodded, "Yes, I was. But that was before I heard about the Survival Tournament. I came here because I heard that it was centered in Johto. Am I right?" He asked, picking up his backpack.

Leaf nodded, "Yeah that's what I heard. Do you have a place to stay for the night here?"

"Let me ask you something Ms. Green?" Where is 'here' exactly?" The blue eyed boy asked with a smug look.

The brunnete just rolled her eyes, "'Here' Satoshi is Olivine City. Even you should know that." She rolled her eyes but Satoshi just let a smirk crawl on his face, "But back to my question, do you have a place to stay for the night?" She asked again.

Satoshi just shrugged, "I was just going to sleep outside or sleep in a Pokemon Centre," He looked in the sky and saw that the orange and pink sunset dim into a dark glow, signifying that it was very close to night, "But it looks like I'll have to sleep outside."

"You sure? I'm staying at my parents' vacation house and there are enough rooms for about 10 people. You can stay here if you want."

Satoshi smiled gratefully, "I appreciate the offer Ms. Green. Thank you." He bowed curtly again. Leaf just rolled her eyes and walked back to her parents vacation house, Satoshi following.

"Just call me Leaf."

The man just smirked behind her back, "As you wish Ms. Leaf." He chuckled causing Leaf to direct a short glare at him. When they entered said house Satoshi was amazed at the design. The floors were made of polished mahogany with no screws, dents, curves, or any hardwood in it. At the middle of the room was a black linen couch with the left end of it extending so you could lie down without getting in anyone's way. Next to the couch on the left was a dark red love seat while on the opposite end of the couch was a simple dark green reclining chair. In-front of the three seats was a 42 inch flat screen T.V. and in-between the T.V. and seats was a square coffee table. Next to it was a kitchen and a little behind the linen couch were stairs leading up to the guest rooms.

Leaf grinned at the amazement in Satoshi's eyes, "I see you like the house."

Satoshi nodded, "Yeah, it-"He was cut off by his phone ringing. Leaf squeaked in surprise at the ringtone he had.

Living in a world so cold
Wasting away
Living in a shell with no soul
Since you've gotten away

Satoshi sighed, getting out his phone, "Satoshi here." There was silence for a minute before Satoshi finally answered, "Yeah I get it. Alright, bye." He hung up his phone and gave an annoyed sigh.

"Sorry about that. My friend loves to talk a lot." Satoshi apologized to Leaf. He could've sworn he saw her face twist but he thought he was seeing things again. That's when he noticed something on the coffee table. Walking over to the table he picked up the item and saw three kids and two adults in the picture.

"Who are these people Ms. Green? Are these your friends?" Satoshi asked Leaf. Said girl walked over to the picture Seizon was holding.

She leaned in to see it, "Yeah. The adult woman is Delia Ketchum. The old man is Professor Oak. The kid standing next to the professor is his grandson Gary Oak. That's me in the middle and the last one is Ash Ketchum." Satoshi noticed that she choked at the last name. He looked over the picture again. Delia Ketchum: a brown-reddish haired woman with a pink shirt and brown pants. Professor Oak: a gray haired man with his hair spiked to the left who wore a brown t-shirt with a white lab coat and gray pants. Gary Oak: brown hair spiked forward and wore a purple t-shirt with black pants and held a sneaky grin. Leaf Green: a turquoise sleeveless shirt with a red skirt halfway down her thighs. Finally Ash Ketchum, which caused Satoshi to unconsciously give off a small smile. This kid had ebony hair that was spiked in all directions with chocolate brown eyes. He wore a black t-shirt with a blue jacket and blue pants.

He set the picture down and glanced towards Leaf, "You seemed sad mentioning Mr. Ash Ketchum. Is it okay if you could tell me?" Noticing the pained look on the girls' face, he quickly added, "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

Leaf just shook her head, "No it's ok. I don't mind. Besides I'm sure you would've found out anyway." Satoshi was confused by that last statement but just shook it off and sat down next to Leaf on the linen couch.

Leaf sighed, closing her eyes, "Four years ago after the Sinnoh Ash Ketchum went missing. No one new why or how. Right after losing to Tobias Ash fell into a depression and locked himself in his room in the pokemon center. When his friends Brock Harrison and Dawn Berlitz checked on him the next morning they saw he was gone, along with his pokemon. The only thing left was a note saying: "I am sorry my friends, but I have to go. I have much to learn, bye." And that was it. Two years later reporters said that Ash was dead. They said they found his body in the crumbling ruins of the Team Rocket headquarters. Everyone was so brokenhearted when they found out. His mother was saddened the most by that fact. Everyone was. Now every year we go to Delia's home in Pallet Town to celebrate Ash's accomplishments."

Satoshi frowned in sadness, "I'm sorry. But I do have a question. What did you mean by: I'm sure you would've found out anyway." He asked in confusion.

Leaf laughed lightly, "Oh that. Well most of my friends are competing in the Survival Tournament. So they're coming here because I'm the only one who has a home here in Johto. You might get to meet them." Satoshi nodded and looked outside. Noticing the blackened sky and the sparkling full moon Satoshi stood up and bid Leaf a goodnight before heading into one of the guestrooms. Satoshi closed his door and threw his backpack onto the bed. After turning on a lamplight he turned to his bed noticing his backpack shaking anxiously.

Satoshi sighed, unzipping the backpack, "Sorry buddy." He gestured to his little rodent that climbed out of the bag.

The rodent glared at Satoshi, "Pika! Pipi Pi!" The rodent growled loudly.

Satoshi whacked his pokemon's head, "Shut up Pikachu. I don't want you to alert Leaf." Satoshi growled right back, just quieter.

Pikachu sighed, "Pikapi. Pika pi pipika." The little mouse plopped onto Satoshi's bed for the next couple of days.

"I know buddy, I know." Satoshi smiled sadly before falling asleep.

-PKMN-

Leaf yawned and sat up, stretching her arms. She scratched her head and turned her head to her alarm clock and glared at it, trying to see it.

With her vision regaining, she saw the time, "Ugh, 7:00 a.m.? Why do I have to be an early riser?" She groaned, throwing herself back on the bed. She contemplated on trying to go back to sleep, but that idea died out for two reasons. 1) She heard a faint noise of a T.V. and 2) When you wake up, you stay up. That's what she learned.

Leaf sat up, "Well, might as well go get a shower and see what that noise is." She shrugged and grabbed a towel and some extra clothes and headed to a bathroom connected to her room. A few minutes later Leaf reappeared, her hair damp. She wore a blue long sleeve shirt and dark blue pants. She yawned perked her ears as she headed downstairs to find out why her T.V. was on.

Finishing her walk downstairs she noticed something, or someone, familiar and sighed in relief, "Hey Satoshi." She greeted walking to the kitchen.

Satoshi leaned his head back, "Hey Leaf. There's breakfast on the counter if you want some. I only finished it 5 minutes ago so it's still warm." He informed the girl changing the T.V. channel again. Leaf looked at the plate of food in-front of her: a couple stripes of bacon, two pieces of toast, each with jelly on them and scrambled eggs.

She picked up a fork and scooped some scrambled eggs into her mouth, "Wow Satoshi! This is good! Where'd you learn to cook like this?" She looked at said man over the counter.

Satoshi just chuckled, "I learned to cook from a good friend." Leaf thought sadness glazed over his eyes but she thought she was seeing things and went back to eating when her phone ringed.

I won't suffer, be broken
Get tired or wasted
Surrender to nothing, I'll give up what I started
And stopped it from end to beginning

Leaf checked the caller id and smiled, "Hey May what's up?" She answered her phone happily. It was at this time Satoshi took a laptop out of his backpack and turned it on, typing his password. As Satoshi pressed 'enter' the computer answered with it coming to life. Leaf snapped her phone shut and, after placing her now empty dish in the sink, walked over to Satoshi and sat next to him on the couch.

Satoshi raised an eyebrow at her sudden happiness, "What's got you happy Leaf?"

"Well my friend May Maple was there and she said that she and two of her friends would be able to get here today. And before you ask, yes she and her friends will be competing in the Survival Tournament also." She stated. Red nodded and checked his e-mail.

Red narrowed his eyes, "Three unread." He clicked on the bar to show his e-mail's and visibly flinched at one.

Leaf noticed the flinch, "What's wrong?" Satoshi forgot she was even here and silently cursed to himself. Before she could check why he flinched Satoshi slammed his computer shut and put it back in his backpack.

Leaf jumped back in shock but retained herself and glared at the man, "What was that for? I was only wondering!" She almost shouted at him.

"It's none of your business." He said in a harsh tone that would've made even Sabrina shake in her shoes. Before she could rebuttal Satoshi ran back up into his room and locked the door. He threw his backpack onto the bed and slid down the door, visibly shaken. Pikachu was able to break free of the prison called a backpack and sighed in relief. Before he could scold his master the little mouse noticed his master shaking.

"Pikapi!" The mouse yelled dashing to his oldest friend.

Satoshi noticed Pikachu's scared look and smiled, patting him on the head, "Sorry to worry you but we have a problem." The mouse was confused but Satoshi just pulled out his I-phone and pulled out his s-mail. Selecting a certain one he showed it to the mouse. Even if his fellow Pikachu couldn't speak English didn't mean that he couldn't read it.

Pikachu's eyes widened at the mail, I am coming for you Ashton.

Satoshi nodded grimly, "If you think that's bad, look who sent it." Pikachu read the name of who sent it and his cheeks sparked...

Giovanni.

"What are we going to do?" Satoshi held his head in his hands, "He already to one person away from me. He might go after someone else. And I can't risk it." A few minutes of silence passed.

Leaf was shocked he said something that harsh. His eyes turned cold and his, aura changed from, what she felt, a happy soul into a sad, anger embedded one. Her rain was racked so much she didn't notice that her doorbell ring. She shook her head bringing herself back to reality and got up, heading to her door. Opening it she noticed three familiar people, two girls and one guy. The girl in the middle was a brunnete. She wore an emerald green bandana, an orange and red orange sleeveless T-shirt with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. A green purse was attached to her belt.

The girl next to her was a blunnete. Her midnight blue hair was covered by a white beanie with a pink half poke ball symbol. She wore a black tank top with a white collar and had a pink skirt that went down to her thighs. In one of her arms was a Piplup.

The man next to the blunnete was a man with spiked brown hair. He wore a black t-shirt with purple jeans and had a necklace that encased something. He was holding one of the blunnete's hands.

Leaf beamed, "May, Dawn Gary!" She let them into her house.

May immediately hugged her, "Hey Leaf how've ya been?"

Leaf hugged her back, "I've been better." Leaf and May met when May was traveling Johto. When May Maple came in Olivine City the pour soul was tired out from traveling and training for so long. Leaf had invited her into her parent's vacation house when she and her parents decided to take a trip to Johto. They bonded quickly.

"What do you mean?" Dawn asked noticing a small trace of sadness in her friends' voice. Dawn and Leaf had met when Dawn and Gary had started to go out. When Gary had told everyone over video phone Dawn and Leaf got into a talk that lasted almost 24 hours. And I'm not kidding.

"Well you see-" She was cut off by footsteps. Everyone turned to the stairs to see Satoshi come down, an apologetic look on his face.

"Hey, Leaf, sorry-" The blue eyed man stopped noticing the three new people here.

"Uh, hello?" He tried to make conversation after three minutes of dead silence.

Dawn said something out of the blue, "Leaf is he your boyfriend?" Leaf choked on some water she got during the silence.

Satoshi raised an eyebrow, "Ah yes. You are Dawn Berlitz: coordinator extraordinaire. Your hero is May Maple and have competed in many contests, and have won 2 Grand Festivals. Unfortunately you dig yourself way too deep into people's personal lives. And no, me and Leaf are not a couple. We only met yesterday when she invited me in." Satoshi said nonchalantly which shocked everyone even more.

May blinked, "What just happened? And who are you anyway?" She asked holding her head to stop it from spinning.

Satoshi grinned, "My apologies. You may know me from the Indigo Tournament. I am Satoshi Seizon, it is a please to meet you all." He bowed curtly, grinning wildly at their shocked faces. He then turned to Leaf.

"And as I was going to say before: I am sorry for my rude outburst towards you. I had no right to do that, but that e-mail was personal." He bowed again.

"You can stop that bowing thing Satoshi." Leaf commented dryly.

Gary interrupted, "Hold on!" Everyone turned to Samuel Oak's grandson, confusion written on their faces.

"Aren't you the one who beat the Indigo League Tournament easily last week?" He asked loudly at Satoshi.

Seizon nodded, "Yes that would be me. Would you like to battle? The man asked with a sadistic grin. Everyone shivered under that smirk but they composed themselves and Gary nodded, a grin of his own.

Gary motioned towards the door, "Let's go." Satoshi nodded and he and Oak went outside along with May, Dawn and Leaf.

Gary grabbed a poke ball, "Umbreon come on out!" He brought out his faithful dark type.

"Umbre!" The dark Eevee evolution growled at Satoshi.

The man just grinned, also bringing out a poke ball, "Infernape fight for me!" He threw the ball into the air. The ball cracked open and out popped at fire-fighting type. It was also the final evolution of the fire starter in Sinnoh.

"Hey I know him!" Dawn suddenly shouted. Leaf, May and Gary turned to her.

"What is it?" May asked anxiously.

"That's the final evolution of the fire starter in Sinnoh!" She exclaimed and her Piplup squawked in agreement.

Gary just grinned, "Since he's also part fighting type he has an advantage. This should be interesting. Umbreon let's start with Quick Attack!"

"Dodge and use Mach Punch." Umbreon dashed at the fire monkey at amazing speed but the larger of the two jumped behind the Eevee-lution. Infernape's hand turned blue as he shot forward at speed great enough to put a Dodrio hopped up on Carbos to shame. The attack landed its mark and Umbreon slid backward and almost hit a wall. Luckily Umbreon was able to stop himself from falling causing Gary to smile.

"Nice Job Umbreon, now, Psychic!" Gary commanded with a grin.

Satoshi also gave a grin, "Use Calm Mind and follow up with Flamethrower." Umbreon's eyes grew blue and glared at the meditating Infernape. A blue glow appeared around the ape. As he was lifted up into the air by Umbreon's Psychic he snapped his eyes open and broke through the Psychic attack firing a molten beam of fire. The dark Eevee evolution was in shock long enough for the Flamethrower to hit causing the dark type to fly back. Before Umbreon could regain his footing Satoshi called out an order.

"Quick Infernape finish this with Mach Punch!" Satoshi called. Infernape dashed towards the struggling Umbreon with his fist bright blue. The attack hit a critical super effective. Umbreon flew back getting caught back by Gary.

Gary looked down at his fainted pokemon, "Nice try Umbreon. Return." He returned him. Gary looked up at Satoshi who had returned his fellow fire type. The man walked over and held his hand out to Oak's grandson.

Gary shook it, "Nice job." Gary smiled. Satoshi nodded with him with a grin of his own. The three girls smiled at the sportsmanship and walked over to the two guys.

Satoshi turned to the girls, "Well I don't think I've met the bandanna girl. Please, introduce yourself, or may I give a long speech about your accomplishments?" He grinned at their heads shaking 'no' vigorously.

May laughed, "No that's alright. I am May Maple. Pleased to meet you." May held out a hand. Satoshi took it and gave a smile of his own.

"Are you three also in the tournament?" He gestured to Dawn, May and Gary. All three nodded their heads causing. The blue eyed man to grin once again.

He walked towards the house but turned stopped, turning to the others, "Then you might need to train more. And also, go ahead and tell me when the others get here." After that he said nothing more and walked into the house. Pulling out his phone/I-pad he fiddled with it and a scowl appeared on his face as he sent an e-mail.

"I will kill you Giovanni." He promised to himself, sending the e-mail. He walked into his room, preparing for a future battle, pokemon and for life.

Me: Ok that was the first chapter. I would've made it longer but I thought that was a good enough ending. But then again maybe not, but oh well. R&R and see you next chapter! Peace! :D
