ashley chillin with her friends (feel free to join in :) )

Ashley and Chordia walked into the water gymnasium only to see a few trainers there. Ashley let out her newly caught eevee and it jumped into her arms "so eevee, wanna come swimming with me or do some training?" Eevee laughed and started running towards the pool "hey you cheat!" Ashley grabbed eevee and jumped in. Chordia giggled and sat on a bench beside the pool, drawing in her sketch book.

Nat and Narri were already in the pool. Nat swam over to Ashley. "Hey there, have you seen my scardy cat cousin? She said she was going to switch out Instinct for Jett," Nat asked as Narri seemed to disappear.

Ashley bobbed back up and shrugged her shoulders "not seen her all day" eevee popped up

Narri pulled Ashley under water as she was swimming under water. Tala was walking in with Band on her shoulder and Jett at her side, Tala walked to the edge of the water sitting down only putting her feet in as Jett dived in. Jett swam over to the evolution pokemon "Bui bui! (Hey there, y'new?)" he asked. "Hey guys! Hope you don't mind but I ain't coming in!" Tala said.

Eevee gave him a big smile "eevee eevee eee!(yuh-huh! I'm eevee!)" Ashley popped back up and rubbed the water from her eyes. Ashley swam over to her bag(which was at the side of the pool) and got her goggles out "at least wait until i can see underwater until you pull me under!" Ashley said laughing Chordia walked over and sat beside Tala,putting her feet "mind if i join you? I can't swim,so..." Pikachu jumped in,splashing eevee and jett

"Buii buizel zel! (Hehe I'm going to get you!)" Jett said swimming under water. Tala gave Chordia a warm smile, "I can't swim either, although I wonder if Band can swim..." she said her warm smiile turning into a devilish one. Narri surfaced the water and gave a giggle.

Kyle and Kelly came in diving in.

Ashley swam over to kyle "hey, we haven't been properly introduced have we?" Eevee lacthed onto jett's back giggling "eeveeee eevee evee eeeeeeee!( go jett! Seek 'im! Weeeeeeeeeeee!)"

Colin looked in,pleased to see the guys as he didn't mention when he was out of hospital. He crept in,hidden from their view. He dived underwater and lifted ashley up by the hips "hey there gorgeous, miss me?"

"Uh, the name's Kyle, I'm Kelly's brother, you must be one of Aaron's friends... Uh, who has he mentioned a lot? Oh, hi Colin." he asked. Kelly was swimming up and down the pool as fast as he could.

Ashley blushed as he'd never called her gorgeous before. She gave him a hug " when did you get back?"

Colin put her down "yesterday! Didn't Rikki tell you?"

"Hey there stranger, feeling better now? I don't wanna see any blood!" Tala joked. Nat swam over "You ok? I hope you are!" Nat said as Narri also swam over "Where is our bird?" Narri asked meaning the pokemon he used to get to the hospital.

Ashley hid her eyes "you know.... Rikki has been awful distant from me since she came here...." She thought to herself

Tala could see that Ashley seemed off when Rikki was mentioned but tried not to say anything.

Colin put a hand on Nat's shoulder "i'm all good now Nat, thanks for asking! And Narri, catch!" He said ,throwing baldwin's pokeball

Narri caught the wet pokeball looking very unamused. She swam to the side letting out the Braviary. Baldwin didn't look too amused about getting wet because his pokeball was wet flapping his wing around to dry them off. "That's good to hear! Sorry about Narri's rudeness that's just...Narri...heh..." Nat said giving a nervous giggle. "Hey Chordia, remember when you came over to my house and Band wrecked your bag beyond repair?" Tala began.

Red came"Hey guys i wouldve been here earlier but i had to get past Aaron sleeping"

"He's sleeping?! What a lazy bugger!" Tala exclaimed. "Yeah, lazy bum! I bet he hasn't even done much!" Nat added.

Nat, Narri and Tala all looked at each other then gave a nod. "I have a few ideas!" Tala groaned. "Yup! And if our suspicions are correct I'll turn him into the worlds most usless weak pokemon imaginable like a Caterpie or a Magikarp!" Nat said firmly punching the water.

ashley gave him a wave "hey red! comin in?". Chordia laughed "hehe,yeah...i remember who could forget that? my brother was in stitches when he seen the state of my bag!"

Tala leaned close to Chordia so Band couldn't hear. "Well do you wanna throw him in the pool and see if he can swim, if not Narri can save him..." Tala whispered with a devilish tone.

Chordia burst out laughing "i don't think we should take that chance!" she got up "back in a second guys!" ashley swam to the side to Tala and looked to the others "c'mere guys, i gotta tell you somethin'"

"What?" Tala said taking Band off her shoulder an in her arms.
