"(You are thinking about her again, aren't you)?" Pikachu asked in a knowing manner.
"Yeah, I miss her." Ash said in a somewhat depressed tone.
"(You'll see each other again. You two always meet in the most convenient circumstances, that and you and her always meet twice a month now since you and her began this secret relationship)." Pikachu said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"You right buddy, I just wish that that'll be soon. I really miss her since our last meeting (date), that and I want to see Koyuki." Ash said as he stood up. "Hey leave some for me guys." Ash shouted as he ran towards his breakfast.
Pikachu merely sighed at his trainer. "(He only acts mature when she's around, not that I could blame him)." Pikachu said as he ran towards his trainer and their breakfast.

"That was delicious Brock." Ash said holding his belly after finishing his tenth plate of the day.
"I can't eat another bite."
"That's good because there is nothing left." Dawn exclaimed to her friend (crush).
"Hey I'm a growing boy." Ash retorted.
Dawn was about to retort an answer but was stopped when Brock tapped her shoulder. "He has a point Dawn. He is a growing boy, that and he has been training since early in the morning." Brock said to his blue haired friend.
"Yeah you right, Brock." Dawn admitted begrudgingly. Ash merely laughed at his friend. "Hey what so funny?"
"Nothing Dawn, absolutely nothing." Ash said as he stood up. "Hey guys would you do me a favour." Ash asked.
"Sure," Brock and Dawn answered in unison. Ash returned all his Pokémons except for Pikachu to their respective Poke-balls and handed it to his friends.
"Could you guys take my other Pokémons to the Poke-Center I need to go somewhere with Pikachu." Ash said to them signalling Pikachu to jump to his shoulder which Pikachu quickly complied.
"Sure Ash, but where are you going with only your Pikachu." Brock asked looking at the two of them.
"You know, just a little walk." Ash said trying to hide a lie. As much as he liked and trusted his friends he still needs to keep some secrets from them.
"Sure, do you need company Ash." Dawn asked with glint of hope shining through her eyes.
Thanks to his experience with his secret girlfriend, Ash could already tell that he would be in a compromising position with his blue haired companion, so he did the only thing that a boy with a secret girlfriend would do in his situation, act and lie.
"Sorry Dawn but I want to be alone. I need to think some crazy strategies in order to beat Paul. I need to be completely alone for that." Ash said with his best acting voice to make the lie realistic. "And the only reason Pikachu is with me is because he would follow me no matter what." Ash added which Pikachu gave a thumbs up.
Dawn seems to be disappointed but nodded in understanding.
Brock merely smiled at his friend. He was finally showing some maturity (Brock has no idea).
"So I'll be going now." Before any of them could say anything, Ash had already run-off towards the forest.
(Scene Change)
After entering the forest, Ash and Pikachu walked towards the middle of the forest while conversing.
"(So we're going to train my unique ability, right)?" Pikachu asked hopingly.
"Yeah, I feel that we will need it in the near future." Ash answered.
"(Finally, we had been trying to hide that for years. I will finally be able to use it in a battle)." Pikachu exclaimed happily.
"Not until we master it. The last time you accidently use it, you devastated a herd of Tauros." Ash stated as he remembered how his buddy destroyed the area and how he injured all those Tauros while using his secret ability.
"(Hey they attacked us and you didn't have any Pokémon then because we were headed to Hoenn for the first time. If I didn't use it we would have been dead. You weren't exactly an Aura Prince back then)." Pikachu retorted.
"I know that, but I need you to control that power if we will ever use it in a Pokémon battle. I don't want other Pokémons getting accidently killed when you lost control over that ability." Ash said while looking at his partner.
Pikachu sighed, "(Yeah, I know that)."
Looking at his Pikachu, Ash could tell that he was depressed. He knew that his Pikachu was disappointed that he has a powerful and unique ability but could not use it because of his lack of control.
He knew that feeling because when he first trained (secretly) with his aura, his Aura Spheres always blew up in his face.
He didn't even believe it himself when Arceus herself appeared before him and gave him the title Aura prince, the highest title for an Aura Guardian, considering how pathetic he was when he began his training. "Don't worry buddy, just remember how I became an Aura Prince, I was pathetic at first but here I am the youngest Aura Prince in the history." Ash said trying to boost Pikachu's morals.
That works because Pikachu began laughing hysterically. "(Yeah I remember that. Sir Aaron's Lucario always complimented you for having such a powerful aura but always scolded you because you lack control. He even beat you down once when your Aura Sphere exploded in both of your faces)." Pikachu said between his laughs.
Ash merely grunted while remembering how he became an Aura Guardian. It was during his travel to the Battle Frontier when they visited Cameran Palace (From the movie Lucario and the Mystery of Mew).
It was supposed to be a normal visit until he, after winning the Pokémon competition there, awakened an old Lucario that was sealed in a staff. His life greatly changed after that.
When they were travelling towards the Tree of Beginning to save his Pikachu, Pikachu was 'kidnapped' by Mew, (Sir Aaron's) Lucario approached him the very first night of their journey to the tree.
He literally forced him to train to become an Aura Guardian, he was against of it at first but after a barrage of Aura Spheres he was forced to accept the Lucario's training.
It turns out that he was a fast learner in becoming an Aura Guardian, he was able to grasp the basic of Aura in less than two days.
His only problem was manipulating his Aura in a form of an attack, he had no problem in forming barriers with his Aura but he absolutely sucked in using it in an attack, the reason was because his Aura was so powerful that it was hard to control that it would most likely blow-up on his face.
He was able to overcome it after much practice and beating from his teacher but that was the last thing (Sir Aaron's) Lucario had taught him but before he 'died' he managed to gave him a Time flower which contains all the things he needs to complete his training.
He trained using that time flower as his guide until he became an Aura Prince.
How he became an Aura Prince is another story.
"Yeah good times," Ash said sarcastically. "But at least I was able to master my ability."
"(That's a low blow, Ash)." Pikachu said in a low whisper.
"It's your fault; you should not remind me on how I got beaten to a pulp by my teacher." Ash said as he laughs at his partner.
"(Moving on, what will you teach Koyuki next if you go to one of your secret dates with her )?" Pikachu asked quickly changing the subject before he gets really embarrassed.
Ash allowed himself to smile brightly accompany with a faint blush. "It depends if I could borrow her for a day, if she will allow it. I can't wait to kiss her again, I really miss her." Ash said with an excited tone. "But before I look forward to that, we're here so let's start."
True to his word they had arrived to the centre of the forest. No one would see what they will do and no one will see their secret powers, perfect for a sparring.
"Shall we start Pikachu?" Ash said as his Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and walked to the other side of the field, creating a good distance from him and his friend.
"(Yes lets)." Pikachu said as his body began emitting black lightning. The black lightning began to uncontrollably strike its surrounding, destroying everything it hits with just contact.
"You still suck on controlling that power buddy, don't worry will change that soon enough." Ash said as his body began emitting a powerful Aura.
Let the sparring begin.
