Indigo league Chapter 1
Disclaimer: Don't own Pokemon
This is basically Indigo league but going with Ash's Pledge to capture all the Pokemon in the first episode.
He is also going to be smarter but not genius just things that beginning trainers should know, such as type advantages/disadvantages very common Pokemon such as his famous Pidgeotto vs. Caterpie moment
He won't start of with Pikachu, but he will get him.
Story Start
Standing on opposite sides of the field two Pokemon look ready to battle when the Pink quadruped adorned with a large horn on it's forehead rushed it's opponent.
"And it looks like Nidorino is starting the show with a horn attack" came the announcer
Nidorino's opponent dodged the attack
"And Gengar bounces back, and there it is the hypnosis power of Gengar, this could be the end of Nidorino" but then a red light illuminates Nidorino and Nidorino disappears into it's Pokeball.
"Wait the Trainer recalls Nidorino, what Pokemon will he choose next" states the announcer while Nidorino's Trainer pulls out and throws the next ball out which contains a large rock like snake, with it's body's different sections looking like large boulders.
"and it's Onix!, now this giant Pokemon's on the attack" at this point the now identified Onix lunges it's body head first towards Gengar in a attempt to hit it which sadly fails as Gengar hops backwards from its previous position.
Then the screen pans out show it was on a television
'I am Ash' thinks a young boy who's room the television set was currently residing
This is Ash Ketchum a young boy from Pallet Town
'Now that I'm Ten I can finally get my Pokemon licence'
Ten year olds can get a beginner Pokemon from Professor Oak the town's Pokemon Expert.
"I will journey to gain the wisdom of Pokemon training, and I hear by swear that I will become a Pokemon Master" states Ash as he poses with his alarm clock which oddly enough is shaped like a Pokeball with eyes or a Volt orb. " That is what I-"
"Ash! Get to Bed!" yells out a voice from his bedroom door, which startled him enough to fall face first on his bedroom door and allowing the Alarm clock to slip from his hand and go hurtling towards his mother, Delia Ketchum who caught the alarm clock in her hand then opened it up to show him the time.
"It's eleven o'clock and you should be asleep" scolds his mother
"But tomorrow I begin my Pokemon journey, I can't sleep"
"Well if you can't sleep you should at least get ready for tomorrow, hear watch this" states Delia while changing the channel with a man with three pictures of different Pokemon behind him, the first being a blue turtle with a yellow shell on its stomach. The second an orange with a tan stomached bipedal lizard with stubby arms and a flame on the tip of it's tail, And lastly a green quadruped with a darker shade of green bulb on it's back.
'Good Evening Pallet, tomorrows the big day for the newest class of Pokemon students, I would like to introduce you to Squirtle, Charmander and Bulbasaur, each one is available for new trainees, which shall you choose" came the voice of the man on the T.V, otherwise know as Professor Oak
"Go to bed when this is done" Delia firmly told her son.
"Alright I'm going" was Ash's reply "And change into your Pyjamas Okay" and with her piece said Delia closed the bedroom door to go to sleep her self.
Time Skip(Next Morning)
A three headed Flightless birds three head cawed at the same time signifying the start of the which woke up our hero Ash Ketchum who seemed Very energetic especially after just waking up, but he had a very good reason to be as this was the day he would start his Pokemon Journey with a new friend.
For the next half an hour Ash had breakfast with his mother for what would be the last time for a long time and washed himself up and changed into his new clothes which consisted of blue jeans, a black undershirt that was underneath a red vest that was trimmed white down zip at the centre of his torso and went around his collar. Sat upon his raven hair was a red baseball cap with a white fringe(Red from the games, clothes). Ash then left to Professor Oaks lab.
Arriving at the Lab Ash noticed a small crowd just leaving the lab.
'Must have been one of the other new trainers' Ash thought
Crossing a bridge Ash walked into Gary Oak, his long time rival.
"Hey Ashy boy!, you ready to get your first Pokemon?" Questioned Gary
"Don't call me that!" yelled Ash making Gary snicker "But, yeah I am so let's go"
Arriving at the lab they met up with Professor Oak who welcomed them both
"Ahh Ash, Gary good to see the both of you, you here to receive your starters?" questioned Oak
"Yeah Gramps!, me and Ashy boy are ready to start our journey" replied Gary to his grandfather
"Yes Professor, we are!" Ash exclaimed with excitement
"Good there are two left, go on and chose" stated Oak as he brought the two towards the podium on which the remaining Poke Balls lay.(I mean the poke balls wouldn't still be there if a trainer had claimed them already)
Gary claimed the remaining Squirtle, Ash didn't mind as he knew that was the Pokemon Gary had always wanted. That left Ash with the remaining Charmander of which he was more than happy with.
'So the other trainer got Bulbasaur than' Ash thought
"I was going to challenge you to a battle Ashy boy, but nah I'll wait until we trained them."
"okay sure I'd be up for that, me and Charmander will be ready" said Ash "Good" replied Gary
"Okay you two here are your PokeDex's and Poke Balls you will need to catch wild Pokemon with" Professor Oak informed the two newly official trainers.
"Now I've already uploaded your individual information to your PokeDex's so if questioned for your id just present it, it will give you limited information on Pokemon with it if you want more detailed information you will of course have to catch that certain Pokemon" stated the Pokemon Professor
"Okay gramps! I'll be off now, cya Ashy boy!, Gramps!" and with that Gary Oak had officially started his journey.
At the entrance Professor Oak followed Ash down to see off his final trainer for the year. Reaching the entrance to his lab the two came upon a small crowd with Ash's mother Delia at the front of the group holding a yellow backpack
"Oh Ash I'm so proud of you, your finally going to fulfil your dream and start your Pokemon training, but I- I'm going to miss you so much my little boy" said a teary eyed Delia
"I've Packed your sneakers and jeans, nice clean shirts and underwear a hat and some hot chocolate incase you want something hot, but be careful not to burn your self. Some rubber gloves to do you laundry and a clothes line to hang it out to dry-" trailed off Delia while unpacking his bag to show him.
"Mom! Your embarrassing me, in front of all these people, you know I'm a big kid now Pokemon trainers can take care of themselves" stated Ash cutting his Mother off before she can embarrass him even more.
After saying good bye to everyone ash had left on his journey with his new friend Charmander.
Walking through route 1 he heard a noise turning his head he saw a Pidgey, quickly taking out his Poke Ball he released Charmander hoping to catch his first Pokemon.
"Go get em Charmander" said Ash "Char!" said an excited Charmander
"Okay get in close then use growl" said Ash. Charmander ran up to the wild Pidgey and growled right in front of it throwing it off guard, which is what Ash seemed to want because he smirked then yelled "Scratch it quickly then keep scratching it till it faints"(because at this point that's all he knows)
With his next command issued Charmander got to work scratching the surprised bird Pokemon that didn't have enough time to make a counter, a fact that Ash decided to capitalise on given the fact that he threw a Poke Ball at the injured Pidgey.
After watching the ball shake a few times before beeping signifying it was a successful capture Ash picked the ball up and said "yes! Thanks to you Charmander we caught our first new friend!"
"Charmander, Char!" said Charmander
"Okay return Charmander have a rest you earned it!" said Ash than put Charmander and his newly caught Pidgey's balls on his belt "will have to heal the little guy in Viridian" Ash said to himself
After battling a few more Pidgey and even some Rattata to give Charmander some more experience which was good considering Charmander learned Ember, Ash stumbled upon a flock of Spearow Pecking and scratching at a Pikachu, this angered him so he decided to help the poor guy out so he sent out Charmander.
"Charmander Ember on all those Spearow, so I can grab the Pikachu" Ash quickly yelled getting ready to run in and grab the small yellow mouse Pokemon. Charmander did as instructed by quickly inhaling air than exhaled a widespread wave of fire that hit the Bird Pokemon making them fly up so as to not get burned even more, which was the perfect time for Ash to jump in and retrieve the injured Pokemon which he did than returned Charmander seeing as the spearow were gearing themselves to go after him.
Seeing Charmander return to his Trainer they saw the Pikachu they were attacking in said trainers arms enraged the birds even further so they started chasing Ash who was sprinting down the path way.
Seeing a large body of water up ahead Ash decided to jump in hoping to escape the angry flock of Spearow.
Meanwhile
A cute red-headed girl was sitting on the ground by the body of water fishing when suddenly she feels a strong pull on the line.
"Oh I got a catch seems big, must be one strong Pokemon!" she exclaimed then tugged on her rod which did not produce what she expected which was a boy her age with a Pikachu in hand.
"Oh, it's just a kid, oh and a Pokemon, are you okay?" she questioned the Pikachu
"Yea I'm fine" Ash replied
"Not you, the Pikachu" the girl replied irritably
"Oh, I'm not sure I found it being attacked by a flock of Spearow, but now they are following me and I have to borrow your bike" as Ash was saying this he was walking toward the red bicycle and deposited the Pikachu in the basket on the front of the bike.
"Hey! Wait that's my Bike!" the girl screamed angrily.
"Come to Viridian City to pick it up!" Ash hollered back to the red head while speeding toward the city he was just talking about. Which made the girl huff angrily till she heard angered caws from behind her making her turn seeing a very large flock of Spearow flying toward her direction, so she hid waiting till they were gone,
Back with Ash
Eventually the Spearow caught up with Ash and started pecking his head. As if all that wasn't enough storms clouds came out of nowhere blocking out the sun and it started pouring down which made it hard to keep riding as the ground was getting slippery. To concerned with the Pikachu and the Spearow overhead Ash didn't notice the small jump jump which sent him and Pikachu flying forwards leaving the bike where it is. Ash caught Pikachu in mid-air and brought it to his chest so he could turn around landing on his back protecting the electric mouse.
Seeing their targets motionless the Spearow were getting ready to dive towards them when lightning struck and thunder boomed making the birds pause from the unexpected interruption of their attack.
Ash seeing this stood in front of Pikachu facing the attacking Spearow arms spread ready to take all the Spearow were going to give.
"Spearow! Leave Pikachu alone!, I'm making a promise to you and all Pokemon, I am going to catch and battle you all!" Ash shouted. Seeing this Pikachu's respect towards the human who saved him grew even more. Suddenly in a flash of lightning Pikachu jumped on Ash's shoulder and in between Ash and the flock of enraged birds and charged electricity which attracted the lightning bolt that struck Pikachu charging the attack causing an explosion emitting out from Pikachu blowing Ash backwards and striking all the Spearow.
Ash, after being blown back by the blast took some time to get his head straight stood up to check on Pikachu and saw that he was still breathing, he looked around and noticed all the Spearow currently out cold so he walked up to the biggest and tapped it with his Pokeball encasing the Pokemon in a flash of red light then entrapping it within the ball which beeped signifying a successful capture.
Ash sighed thankful that it was over, then walked over to the injured Pikachu Picking it up walking over to the bike standing it upright depositing Pikachu in the basket again and carrying on towards Viridian.
Seeing a rainbow Ash slowed to a stop and just looked at it along with Pikachu, They then saw a Large bird flying over the rainbow, it was encased in some sort of shimmering gold glitter.
Checking the Pokemon with his PokeDex it said it was an 'Unknown Species' this fact amazed him so he took a picture with the PokeDex keeping in mind to question the Professor about it later.
After watching the unknown Pokemon fly off Ash continued toward Viridian City intent on getting Pikachu the care it needed.
To Be Continued
Author Notes
I'm basing this story on if Damien was one of the new Pallet trainers, and if he didn't exist at all.
Also you'd think Professor Oak would have enough starter Pokemon for all the new trainers.
I only really started this because I got season one and two on dvd because well my video player sucks, but while watching the first episode Ash stated he wanted to catch them all yet he captures like less than ten every region and works on them, so Pokemon wise he's going to be like Gary, you know work on his main Pokemon while still catching a lot and every once and a while switch the teams around and train others to keep their strength up so they aren't completely outclassed by his main team.
So um read and review and all that
