Chapter 27: I'm your Pseduo-Master!
While Bayleef was being led by Garchomp towards Noivern's spot a huge Dragonite arrived in front of Ash's house with a red-haired man behind it.
"Buddy!!!!"
The red-haired man shouted loudly so that everyone inside the house would know of his arrival.
"Who on earth are you?!"
James exited the house and asked the red-haired man who jumped off his Dragonite.
"Call Ash and tell him that his Pseudo-Master is here."
James was taken aback when he heard the man proclaim himself as Ash's master and was about to call out to Ash when suddenly Charizard who was in the backyard arrived and was glaring towards the Dragonite that was behind the red-haired man.
Charizard descended and stood in front of the Dragonite butting heads with it as soon as he saw it. the Dragonite didn't step back and pushed forward not letting Charizard win on their "duel"
"Haha, nice to see you again Charizard looks like you have become much stronger." The red-haired man said while patting Charizards back not caring about the duel that was going on between the two pokemon.
With so much noise going on outside Meowth, Jessie, and the ladies also went to check what was going on and saw Charizard butting heads with Dragonite while a red-haired man with a black cape was patting Charizard's back and laughing.
"Who is that man James?" Delia asked.
James scratched his head and replied, "He said that he was Boss's Master."
"Huh?!" All of them exclaimed when they heard the term "Master"
"What the hell are you doing here Lance?!" Ash finally exited the house while massaging his head which suggests that he just woke up from his sleep.
Lance turned around and saw Ash at the front of the house and immediately gave him a hug, "Buddy! long time no see! and is that how you greet your Pseudo-Master?!"
Upon hearing this Ash was starting to have a literal headache and said waving his hands, "Shoo-shoo, the hell you referring yourself as my pseudo-master does that word even exist?!"
Lance acted like he didn't hear Ash and wrapped his arm around Ash's head, "Hahaha, the word doesn't matter because I did teach you how to train your Gabite when we met on Mt. Draco 2 years ago so that makes me your Pseudo-Master right?"
Delia and the others didn't know how to react, the red-haired man in front of them was Lance the legendary Champion of Kanto and he was here playing with Ash and proclaiming himself as Ash's Master while Ash was denying his claim.
Ash escaped from Lance's hug and said while cracking his neck left and right, "Stop with your little games and tell me the reason why you came here."
Lance had his down and started sobbing.
"Huh?!" The others couldn't believe what they are seeing and started rubbing their eyes again and again.
"Why are you so heartless Buddy?! I came here all the way from Kanto to cheer you and this is how you repay me?!" Lance said in a sad voice.
Ash shook his head and chose to ignore Lance who was faking his tears and approached Charizard, "Charizard stop butting heads with Dragonite you can have your chance after we take the trophy."
Charizard gave a final glare at Dragonite then snorted flying back towards the backyard.
Ash then rubbed Dragonite's head and said, "Why must you butt heads with that fool? you clearly know that he was just trying to impress you and show his dominance."
Dragonite that awe-inspiring Dragon pokemon blushed and lower her head while Ash continued talking to her.
Upon seeing this interaction Lance stopped faking crying and approached them, "What are you doing? don't you dare try to poach my Dragonite!"
Ash and Dragonite both rolled their eyes at Lance and chose to ignore his presence entirely.
"Is that really your trainer? tsk tsk, you would be better off with me and Charizard." Ash said shaking his head while glancing at Lance that was already fuming in anger.
Dragonite giggled seeing her Master getting angry and licked his face to calm him down.
Seeing that everyone was calming down Ash then asked again, "So tell me, Lance. what is the reason for you to personally look for me?"
Lance shook his head and said, "I really just want to cheer you on, can't I even come and cheer for my Buddy?"
Ash sighed and said, "If that's the case then come inside and take a rest first, I know your journey should've been tiring."
Lance smiled and wrapped his hands around Ash's shoulder and said while laughing, "See? you really care about your Pseudo-Master after all."
The group was about to enter the house when suddenly Garchomp along with Bayleef landed in front of Ash.
"Hmm?" Ash glanced at his pokemon with a questioning look.
Bayleef looked at her Master and took a deep breath and said telepathically, "Master, Noivern is here and wants to meet you."
