Indigo League Part 8

Indigo League Part 8: Ritchie

Ash & Serena was meeting up with Brock, Professor Oak, & Delia.

"Congratulations, on making it to the final rounds, Ash." Oak said "You really showed your opponents?"

"Thanks Professor." Ash said

"We should go out for a big meal to celebrate Ash's victory." Brock suggested

"Agreed. Besides, you have to keep your strength up while you're battling, so I'm making your favorite meal." Delia said.

They went to the restaurant where they saw Giovanni & Red.

"Hey Dad, hey Red." Ash greeted

"Hey, little brother, congrats on winning all four rounds." Red said

"We have a little surprise for you." Giovanni said

"What's that?" Ash asked curiously

"Come inside." Red said

They entered the restaurant & Ash saw a boy with auburn hair, blue eyes, wearing a teal short-sleeve shirt with light yellow trim and a silver zipper, a dark teal vest with a light green collar, a black belt with a silver buckle, teal pants with light yellow pockets, dark blue and indigo sneakers with red dots, dark blue fingerless gloves with aqua borders, and a purple cap with a light yellow band and red buttons. He also had a Mega Ring around his wrist.

"Ritchie!" Ash said happily

"Hi Ash." Ritchie greeted

"I'm so glad to see you." Ash said

"Ash, who's this?" Serena asked

"This is my cousin." Ash said

"Hi, I'm Ritchie, Richie Ketchum." Ritchie said

"Hi Ritchie, I'm Serena & this is my partner Eevee." Serena introduced

"Eevee." Eevee greeted

"I'm Brock, nice to meet you." Brock said

"& these are my partners Pikachu & Meowth." Ash said

"Pika Pi." Pikachu greeted

"Hiya cuz." Meowth greeted

"Whoa, a Pikachu & a talking Meowth, you're very lucky Ash." Ritchie said

"Thanks, are you competing in the Indigo Plateau Conference?" Ash asked

"Yep, I just passed all 4 Fields." Ritchie said

"That's awesome, congratulations." Ash said

While they were eating

"So Ritchie, where are you from?" Brock asked

"I come from Frodomar City, here in the Kanto Region." Ritchie replied

"What type of cousin are you?" Serena asked

"I'm actually a second cousin." Ritchie said

"Remember, you two, when you win your next battle, you'll be allowed to use all six of your Pokémon in each match." Oak said "& you should remember if you keep doing your best, you are winners even if you lose."

"I wonder who your next opponents will be." Delia wondered

"Hey Ash, would you like to meet some of my Pokémon?" Ritchie asked

"Sure." Ash nodded

After they finished eating, they went outside & Ritchie pulled out six Poké Balls
