Greetings readers,this is pokeball645 here with something new! This story stars the Saiyan from Dragon Ball Super, Cabba!
In this story, Cabba will travel the Unova Region with Ash, Iris, and Cilan.
It will include some created characters from Dragon Ball Xenoverse and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2. Either mine or yours if you want, just give me the details on the character.
This story will also take place in an alternate Universe 6 where the Saiyans of that universe have Saiyan tails and where the Earth wasn't destroyed, but Planet Sadal, Cabba's home planet, was destroyed instead.
Now for the disclaimers: Pokemon is owned by Nintendo and the Pokemon Company. Dragon Ball Super is owned by Akira Toriyama. I don't own anything, except for any characters I made who will be in this story.
Now, without further ado, I give you...
Pokemon Super: Black & White!
The Pokemon world, a world filled with the most amazing creatures imaginable, populating the land, the sea, and the air. Wherever you go, no doubt you'll find Pokemon there too. However, in the Pokemon world, there are times when you'll find something that will unexpectedly lead to a series of events beyond anyone's imagination. That has been proven true as a strange round object that came from somewhere from the vast reaches of space begins to make its way to the Pokemon world. What could be inside this object could very well change the world of Pokemon as we know it!
In The Shadow of Zekrom!
The mysterious object was getting closer to the Pokemon world, looking ready to come in for a nice landing, when suddenly...
A loud roar was heard and to the object's right, a Pokemon that looked like a big green dragon with sharp claws glared at the object and then fired a powerful beam at it, causing some good damage.
Now the object was going in for a crash landing somewhere in the Pokemon world while the green Pokemon flew off without a roar while the object was on a crash course for somewhere in the Pokemon world.
Down in the Pokemon world, a woman was getting ready to drive away from her Research Lab.
"I'd better get moving. Professor Oak will be here in the Unova Region any minute with his guests to study the legends of Unova with me. So, I'm gonna be there as soon as they arrive to give them a nice Unova Region welcome." the woman said.
But then, something in the sky caught her eye as she looked up to see something fall from the sky, and in a ball of fire. "What's that? It can't be a shooting star, it's daylight." she thought to herself.
Then the object crashed into the forest, making the area shake a little while some of the local Pokemon ran away in fear.
The woman then got in her car to check it out as she said, "I think Professor Oak's gonna have to wait a little longer. I'd better get a closer look at what just crashed." Then she drove away to find out what in the world just crashed into the forest.
Meanwhile, some of the local Pokemon that didn't run off in fear gathered around to see what just crashed into their forest home.
What they saw was some sort of pod that looked pretty banged up upon impact.
"Patrat?" one of the Pokemon questioned while looking at the damaged pod.
"Deerling." another Pokemon whispered.
Then the pod hatch opened up, startling the Pokemon, but they stood their ground when something emerged from the damaged pod.
What they saw looked like a human male who was fair-skinned and of short stature and has a very slim build. The person's hair is black and spiky, with one bang hanging over his forehead. His eyes are narrow with large black pupils. The outfit this person was wearing has yellow straps, silver plating, a purple under piece, and a blue suit underneath with brown armbands, a brown belt, and purple shoes with grey soles.
They were surprised to see the guy come out of the pod, but they were even more surprised to see a brown monkey tail slowly waving behind the mysterious guy.
The person then looked at the pod he came out of. He saw the damage done to it as he sighed, "Oh great."
Then the guy looked at the area around him as he asked, "Hey, where am I?"
Then he saw the Pokemon looking at him cautiously, before they got scared and found a place to hide. Then the guy smiled and called out to the Pokemon, "Come on, come on out! I'm not gonna hurt any of you!"
Then one of the Pokemon, a Patrat, decided to carefully go down the crater to reach the boy, who looked at Patrat with a gentle smile. Then he gently patted Patrat on the head, much to Patrat's delight. "Patrat." Patrat sighed happily.
"See? I won't hurt you." the boy assured gently. Then he asked, "Say, what kind of creature are you anyway?"
"They're magnificent creatures called Pokemon. You'll find more of them roaming around the Pokemon world." The boy was surprised by the voice that answered him as he turned around to see the woman from earlier smiling at the tailed boy that was petting Patrat.
"Pokemon? I've never heard of them before." the boy said while Patrat went back to its friends.
The woman was surprised to hear that, "Never heard of Pokemon before?"
The boy nodded, "We don't have creatures called Pokemon on Planet Sadal."
"Planet Sadal?" the woman asked in confusion. Then she looked at her watch before she said, "Oh man, I'm gonna be late to pick up Professor Oak. Listen, how about you come with me? You can tell me more about this Planet Sadal and I can tell you more about Pokemon, okay?"
The boy then smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go."
The boy then surprised the woman by floating out of the crater and over to her car. Then the boy introduced himself, "By the way, I never got the chance to introduce myself. My name is Cabba, and I'm a Saiyan from Planet Sadal."
"Huh, a Saiyan?" the woman asked herself. She then shook her head a little before she introduced herself to Cabba, "I'm Professor Juniper, and I research the many different Pokemon found in the Unova Region. Come on, let's go Cabba."
Cabba then got in Professor Juniper's car before they began to drive away from Cabba's damaged pod.
On the way, Professor Juniper explained to Cabba about Pokemon being magnificent creatures that hold incredible powers in them.
"...And the interesting thing is that there are plenty of unknown Pokemon out there just waiting to be discovered." Professor Juniper finished her explanation about Pokemon.
Cabba was amazed by what he heard. Then he looked up at some of the flying Pokemon above as he said, "I must say, this planet sounds amazing so far."
"That's right, you said you're a Saiyan from Planet Sadal, right? Why not tell me more about Sadal and the Saiyans?" Professor Juniper asked.
"Well they... Huh?" Cabba then saw something in the distance, "What's that?"
"That must be the plane Professor Oak is in. He and one of his Pokemon Trainer friends must've had a nice flight from the Kanto Region." Professor Juniper said, confusing Cabba.
"Professor Oak? Kanto Region?" Cabba asked in confusion, but then his face grew serious.
Professor Juniper noticed his facial expression and asked, "Is something wrong Cabba?"
"There's some powerful energy heading over to where Professor Oak's gonna land! I can sense it from here!" Cabba informed, confusing the professor.
"What do you mean?" Professor Juniper asked.
"He could be in danger! I've gotta help him!" Cabba yelled, quickly undoing his seat belt before he took off, leaving a surprised Professor Juniper behind.
"In danger? Cabba, wait!" Professor Juniper called out, but Cabba was still flying fast over to the plane.
The plane in question finally landed after flying all the way from the Kanto Region, and among the passengers, next to the plane stood an elderly man, a woman, a boy, and a yellow Pokemon with red cheeks and a lightning bolt shaped tail.
The boy stretched with the Pokemon as he said, "We're here Pikachu!"
"Pika!" Pikachu said, stretching along with his trainer while the man and the woman walked away from the plane.
The boy and Pikachu began to follow them, but then something made Pikachu stop and look behind him. The boy stopped and called for Pikachu, but the Pokemon ran off and turned to the left to see a storm cloud heading their way.
The boy caught up to Pikachu and asked, "Pikachu, what's up?"
Then he turned to the water to see a pink fish Pokemon splashing in the water as the boy got excited, "Never seen that before!" Then he and Pikachu got a little closer for a better look in the water, "That was cool! Wonder if there are more."
"Pika." Pikachu whispered as the boy turned to the approaching cloud.
"What's that?" the boy asked.
Then suddenly, Pikachu was caught in a mysterious cage, catching him and the boy by surprise. The boy tried to keep the cage from taking Pikachu. The boy then saw three figures, one man, one woman, and one short person standing on top of the plane as he demanded, "Hey, who are you guys!?"
"'Who are you' is the question indeed!" the woman said.
"We'll answer you as we feel the need!" the man said. Then all three of them suddenly revealed themselves to be a man and a woman in black clothing with a big red R on their shirts, and the short guy was actually a cat Pokemon with a charm on his forehead.
"Team Rocket! What are you doing here?" the boy asked.
"I'll ask you the same question!" the man with blue hair argued.
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" the boy called.
"Pika-CHUUU!" Pikachu fired electricity from his cheeks at Team Rocket, but it was blocked by the machine the cat Pokemon was holding.
"A wasted effort." the man said.
"We made sure it's electric-proof." the woman with long red hair added.
The cat Pokemon then snickered, "Give it up Twerp! There's nothing you and Pikachu can do that can stop this beauty!"
The boy and Pikachu growled at Team Rocket. Then a voice yelled out, "Let them go!"
"Huh?/Pika?" the boy and Pikachu asked as Thunderbolt was still going on.
"Excuse me?" the woman asked. Just then, a Ki blast came out of nowhere and destroyed the machine and freed Pikachu.
The cat Pokemon yelped, but then he got mad and demanded, "Hey, who did that!?"
"I did!" Then the five of them turned to see something land next to the boy and Pikachu. It was Cabba and he was now glaring at Team Rocket.
"Stay out of this boy, this doesn't concern you at all!" the man told the Saiyan.
"Whenever I see or sense anyone good or innocent being attacked, I'll always be there to help out! Now leave them alone!" Cabba yelled, getting into a Martial Arts fighting stance. The boy and Pikachu were surprised, but still happy that Cabba came to help them.
Then suddenly, the sound of thunder caught the attention of the man and woman from earlier as they turned to see the cloud just above them.
It was right above Cabba, the boy, Pikachu, and Team Rocket who looked up at it. Then a big bolt of lightning shot out from the middle of the cloud down at them, separating Team Rocket from Cabba, the boy, and Pikachu as they all screamed in alarm.
Then Cabba and the boy found themselves surrounded by a blue electric area. Then they noticed that Pikachu was still being hit by the blue lightning as the boy gasped, "Pikachu!"
Then the lightning stopped as Pikachu glared at light above them. Cabba, the boy, and Team Rocket looked up at it as well. "That powerful energy I sensed earlier, could it really be coming from up there?" Cabba whispered.
Pikachu then fired a Thunderbolt at the light, then a loud roar was heard as they looked on.
Cabba focused hard and he thought he saw something that looked like a black dragon with red eyes. The boy saw it too as he asked, "What is that?"
"Could that be another Pokemon?" Cabba asked himself.
Somewhere away from the area, on top of a tree, a girl with long purple hair and a Pokemon with tusks saw the mysterious cloud as well.
"Check it out!" the girl said. Then she turned to the Pokemon with a smile as she said, "Something great's going on! Axew, let's go!"
"Axew!" the Pokemon, Axew, then went into the girl's hair before she began to swing over on a vine.
Back with Cabba and the others, the man and woman witnessing the thunder and lightning then remembered the boy as the woman gasped, "My Ash!" Then she and the man ran off to get to the boy, clearly named Ash.
Cabba, Ash, and Pikachu were still looking up at the figure in the sky.
"You could be right, it might be a Pokemon." Ash told Cabba.
The figure then turned to look at Cabba when the Saiyan suddenly heard a voice, "Your ideals are strong!"
"Huh? My what?" Cabba asked. But then the mysterious Pokemon shot up, leaving behind some more lightning as Cabba, Ash, and Pikachu screamed.
Then the cloud suddenly disappeared as Ash and Cabba sat up and looked at the sky.
But then Ash gasped, "Pikachu!"
Then he picked up Pikachu and asked, "Pikachu, are you okay?"
Pikachu then opened his eyes and said, "Pika Pi."
"Pikachu. I'm so glad!" Ash said in relief as he and Pikachu hugged each other.
Cabba saw the two of them and sighed in relief, "I'm glad everything turned out just fine." Then Cabba looked up at the sky again as he asked himself, "But what was that anyway? Could that really be another Pokemon that was in those clouds?"
"Hey!" Ash said to get Cabba's attention. The Saiyan then turned to Ash and Pikachu as Ash thanked him, "Thanks for helping us when you did. Pikachu and I owe you big time."
"Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed.
"Hey, no thanks are needed. Helping others is what I do a lot." Cabba said.
"Ash!" the man and woman ran over to the boys and Pikachu in concern.
"Ash, are you all right?" Ash's Mom asked in concern.
"Yeah." Ash answered.
"But Ash, are you completely sure?" the man asked.
"Of course, we're both fine, thanks to him." Ash said while he and Pikachu looked at Cabba.
"Oh, thank you so much!" Ash's Mom told Cabba gratefully.
"Hold on, we never saw you when we landed here in Unova. How did you get here so fast?" the man asked.
"I sensed a powerful energy heading over to this area, so I flew in to find out what it was. That's when I noticed that this guy and the Pokemon were in danger, so I shot a Ki blast at the machine the attackers had to help." Cabba answered, making the man, Ash, his Mom, and Pikachu blink while looking at Cabba.
Ash then shook his head, "Well, we're just glad you helped us out. Aren't we, Pikachu?"
"Pika!" Pikachu answered. Then electricity suddenly sparked from Pikachu's cheeks, confusing the others.
"Hey, what's the matter little guy?" Cabba asked. Pikachu just shook it off and got on Ash's shoulder as the two of them smiled.
"Still, that was some thunderstorm, wasn't it?" Ash's Mom asked while looking up at the sky along with the others.
"But who was that anyway?" Ash asked.
"What was what?" the man asked.
"I could've sworn I saw a Pokemon somewhere in the clouds." Ash answered.
"But Ash, from where we were standing, all we could see was the clouds." the man said as Ash's Mom nodded in agreement.
"That's strange." Ash said. Then he turned to Cabba and asked, "Oh yeah! I forgot to ask, who are you anyway?"
"I'm Cabba, a Saiyan from a planet called Sadal." Cabba introduced, confusing the others.
"A Saiyan?" Ash asked quietly. Then he and Pikachu were caught off guard when they both saw Cabba's tail. "Uh, is that a tail behind your back?" Ash asked, a bit shaky.
Cabba took a look at his tail and answered, "Oh, yes, it is. Actually, Saiyans like myself also have a tail behind their backs."
"Oh, Professor Oak!" then they turned to see Professor Juniper walking over to them.
"Well what do you know? Professor Juniper!" Professor Oak said as they turned to the professor.
"I'm sorry I was so late. I hope you're okay after that thunderstorm." Professor Juniper said.
"We're just fine, thanks Professor!" Professor Oak said. Then he turned to Ash, his Mom, and Pikachu and said, "I'd like to introduce you to Professor Juniper, and don't let the youthfulness of one of them most famous Pokemon researchers fool you."
"Pleasure to meet you!" Professor Juniper said. But then she noticed Cabba and said to him, "And Cabba you really shouldn't fly ahead like that, you really surprised me."
Ash, his Mom, Pikachu, and Professor Oak looked back and forth between Cabba and Professor Juniper. "Hang on, are you saying you know this young man?" Professor Oak asked Professor Juniper.
"I ran into Cabba on my here to see you." Professor Juniper replied.
After all the introductions were made, they were now in Professor Juniper's car as she drove back over to her Research Lab.
On the way to the Lab, Ash, Pikachu, Cabba, and Ash's Mom were looking at the Pokemon on the grass and in the air.
"So, what do you think Ash? These Pokemon are new to you, aren't they?" Professor Juniper asked after noticing how excited Ash and Pikachu looked.
"Right!" Ash answered when Pikachu's cheeks suddenly sparked again.
"Pikachu's been doing that a lot lately." Ash's Mom noticed.
"When we get to my Lab, I'll have a look." Professor Juniper offered.
"Thanks, that'd be great!" Ash said happily.
"And as you know, Kanto Pokemon are very rare here, so I have a lot of questions to ask you Professor." Professor Juniper told Professor Oak.
"Fine." Professor Oak said.
"Excuse me Professor Juniper, but is Pikachu also rare here?" Cabba suddenly asked.
"Why yes, we've never seen a wild one before." Professor Juniper answered.
"You'll also get to meet Pokemon you've never seen before in Professor Juniper's Lab." Professor Oak said.
Professor Juniper nodded, "Of course. You should enjoy that."
Ash, Pikachu, and Cabba then turned to the water to see a bunch of swan looking Pokemon who then took off into the air.
"Pokemon I've never seen before." Ash said.
"Pika." Pikachu agreed while Ash's Mom smiled at the two of them as if she already knew what Ash was about to do.
"This planet really is amazing." Cabba said to himself while watching the swan Pokemon fly in the sky.
As they kept on driving, they were now in a small town. "Well, this is Nuvema Town." Professor Juniper said.
"Nuvema Town?" Ash and Cabba asked.
Professor Juniper nodded, "My Research Lab is just up ahead."
Once they made it to Professor Juniper's Lab, they began to run some tests on Pikachu.
"Pikachu." Pikachu moaned sadly, not liking the tests.
"What do you think Professor?" Professor Oak asked.
"According to Ash, Pikachu has been exposed to a highly electrical field. Still, I see no evidence of any problems." Professor Juniper explained.
Cabba smiled, "So that must mean Pikachu's gonna be just fine."
Ash smiled and turned to Pikachu, "That's great, you're okay buddy!"
"Pika!" Pikachu said happily, standing up.
"Please stay a little longer Pikachu. I'd like to run a few more tests." Professor Juniper said, making Pikachu upset again.
"Just a little longer Pikachu, okay?" Ash said.
"Pika." Pikachu said sadly.
"Hey, cheer up, the tests will be done before you know it." Cabba assured the depressed Pokemon.
Then the door opened to reveal one of Professor Juniper's assistants. "Professor Juniper, a brand new trainer is about to start his journey!" he told her.
"Is it really that time again?" Professor Juniper asked.
"Time for what exactly Professor?" Cabba asked in confusion.
Professor Oak smiled at the Saiyan, "You see Cabba, one of Professor Juniper's numerous duties is to give any new trainers of the Unova Region their Starter Pokemon."
"Awesome! Starter Pokemon!" Ash said with excitement.
"Uh, Starter Pokemon?" Cabba asked in confusion.
"So Pokemon Trainers can start their Pokemon Journey. In fact, that's how I met Pikachu." Ash said.
In another part of the Lab, a boy with dirty blonde hair, white pants, black shirt, and an orange jacket was taking pictures with his camera. Then he turned to see Professor Juniper walking over to him, along with her assistant, Ash, and Cabba.
"Hello, Trip! Welcome!" Professor Juniper called happily to the boy who walked over to her.
"Hi, Professor Juniper! I'm finally ready to start off my journey as a Pokemon Trainer!" Trip declared, sounding like he's pretty confident about his decision.
"I know you've waited a long time for this! Welcome to the world of Pokemon!" Professor Juniper exclaimed with a smile.
Ash then spoke up, "I bet you were so excited that you couldn't sleep a wink! I was the same way!" Ash chuckled, feeling a little silly.
Trip then noticed Ash and Cabba and asked, "Who are you two?"
"Oh right! Trip, meet Ash! He came all the way from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region! And this is Cabba, he's not really a trainer, but I ran into him before I met Ash." Professor Juniper explained.
"Nice to meet you Trip!" Ash grinned happily.
"Yes, pleasure to meet you." Cabba said.
"From Pallet Town? Kanto region?" Trip asked, but then he chuckled, confusing Ash and Cabba.
"Huh? What's so funny?" Ash asked in confusion.
"See, I was wondering that a guy like you came from the boonies." Trip smirked.
"Hey! What do you mean boonies!?" Ash snapped angrily.
Trip then turned to Cabba and asked, "What about you? Where are you from?"
"I came from Planet Sadal." Cabba answered.
Trip blinked a couple of times, "Planet Sadal?" Then he muttered to himself, "Sounds like he's in his own little world."
Cabba heard it, and couldn't help but feel a little insulted, "Hey!"
Professot Juniper then stepped up, "Come on! Today's your first day as a trainer! So it's a happy day!"
Then she walked over to the cart that had three Poke Balls, ten empty Poke Balls, and two Pokedexs. She picked up the three Poke Balls and said, "Now, you can choose your partner among these three types! First is Tepig, a Fire-Type!"
She then threw the ball into the air and out of it came a Pokemon that looked like a pig. "Tepig!" he said, sounding proud.
"Wow! Awesome! So you're called a Tepig!" Ash exclaimed, sounding amazed.
"Looks like a strong Pokemon to me." Cabba said. Tepig then shot some fire out his nose, impressing Ash and Cabba.
"That's a Fire-Type, nice and fiery!" Ash chuckled while Cabba and Tepig then looked at each other.
"Up next is Oshawott, a Water-Type!" Professor Juniper brought out another Pokemon. This one looked like an otter with a shell on his stomach, "Oshawott!"
Ash got closer to the Water-Type, "Aw! Aren't you the cutest?" That made Oshawott rub the back of his head.
Cabba chuckled, "I'd say he's an adorable little guy!"
"Finally, Snivy, a Grass-Type!" Professor Juniper brought out the third Pokemon, which looked like a small green snake, "Snivy!"
"Cool! This one's got plenty of confidence!" Ash said before the three Starter Pokemon stood in front of Trip. "Each one of them would be good to train! It's gonna be a tough choice." Ash said.
"Don't forget, I'm the one who gets to choose." Trip reminded, sounding annoyed.
"Don't worry, I get it! But if it was up to me... This would be a tough one." Ash said. Then he turned to Cabba and asked, "Which one would you pick Cabba?"
Cabba was surprised by the sudden question, but then he answered, "Well... I don't really know myself."
Professor Juniper then smiled at the Saiyan, "Well Cabba, if you want to, you can always pick a Starter Pokemon after Trip makes his choice."
The others were surprised by the sudden offer. The Trip smirked at the idea, "Actually, that sounds like a good idea. This means having another trainer to have a battle with."
Cabba then looked at the Starters, then he nodded and said, "If you say so, I'll do it! After Trip makes his choice, that is!"
"That's the spirit Cabba!" Ash cheered before they turned back to the Starters just as Trip took a picture of them.
"I've decided, I'm choosing Snivy." Trip declared. The choice made Snivy stand proud, Tepig looked a little annoyed, and Oshawott was in despair.
"Okay! Now, Cabba, it's your turn! Choose the Pokemon you want as your partner." Professor Juniper said. Tepig and Oshawott got hopeful again as they turned to Cabba.
Cabba crossed his arms as he looked at Tepig and Oshawott. Then he nodded to himself and told the Professor, "Professor Juniper, I choose Tepig!" Cabba's choice left Tepig shooting out flames of happiness while Oshawott was in despair once again.
"Okay! First of all, here are your very own Pokedexs!" Professor Juniper said, giving Trip and Cabba each a Pokedex.
"Thanks, Professor!" Trip and Cabba thanked at the same time before Trip used his Pokedex to scan Snivy.
"Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokemon. Cool, calm, and collected, Snivy uses photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail." Trip's Pokedex explained. Ash tried to take a peek at what the Unova Pokedex looked like, but Trip put his away, making Ash sigh.
Seeing the look on Ash's face, Cabba then motioned Ash to come closer, which he did before Cabba used his Pokedex to scan Tepig. "Tepig, the Fire Pig Pokemon. It blows fire through its nose. When it catches a cold, the fire becomes pitch-black smoke instead." Cabba's Pokedex explained.
Ash was amazed at what the Pokedex looked like while Cabba smiled at his new friend's happiness.
"And here are your Poke Balls! Each of you can carry up to six Pokemon!" Professor Juniper said, handing Cabba and Trip five empty Poke Balls each.
"Thank you Professor." Cabba thanked, taking his five Poke Balls.
"Yeah, that's basic." Trip said, taking his five Poke Balls as well.
Then the Professor handed Trip Snivy's Poke Ball, and Cabba Tepig's Poke Ball as she said, "And this is Snivy's Poke Ball and Tepig's Poke Ball! Take good care of them!"
"Of course." Cabba said before he and Trip took the Poke Balls.
"Alright Snivy, let's get this journey started!" Trip called, returning Snivy to his Poke Ball.
Cabba then turned to Tepig as he said, "Well Tepig, looks like it's you and me from now on!"
"Tepig!" Tepig happily said while wagging his tail a little, making Cabba chuckle a little.
"Have a great journey Trip! Good luck!" Professor Juniper said.
"Thanks. Thanks for everything!" Trip said, bowing to the Unova Professor.
Trip then turned to Cabba and said, "I'll be waiting to have a chance to battle you and Tepig soon."
Cabba was a little confused, but nodded, "Okay."
With that, Trip walked out to start his journey.
Then Ash, in excitement, ran off after Trip. Cabba grew confused and followed after him with Tepig by his side, "Hey, Ash! Where are you going?"
Ash managed to catch up to Trip as did Cabba and Tepig. "Hey Trip, going for Gym Battles?" Ash asked.
Trip smirked, "That's basic."
Cabba was confused, "Huh? What are you guys talking about?"
"It's like this, Pokemon Trainers go around to different Gyms and try to win eight Gym Badges, so they can enter the Unova League." Trip explained to both Ash and Cabba.
"Really? That's just like back in Kanto!" Ash exclaimed. The he turned to Cabba and suggested, "You should go for Gym Battles too, Cabba! That way you can understand the world of Pokemon better!"
"Uh, you really think I should?" Cabba asked, unsure of what to do with Tepig.
"Yeah, I say go for it! Look, even Tepig agrees with me!" Ash said as they looked down to see Tepig looking up at Cabba with big eyes and nodding.
"Tepig Tepig!" Tepig said to get Cabba to go for Gym Battles.
Cabba chuckled at his new friend. Then he picked Tepig up and said, "Well, if you say so, I might as well."
"TEPIG!" Tepig cheered happily.
"Pika Pi!" then they turned to see Pikachu running out of the Lab to Ash happily.
"Pikachu! Done with your tests, huh?" Ash asked happily with his little yellow partner on his shoulder.
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded.
"See, I told you the tests would be over before you know it." Cabba said. Then he held Tepig over so Pikachu can see him as he introduced him, "I have my own Pokemon partner now, say hello to Tepig!"
"Pikachu!/Tepig Tep!" Pikachu and Tepig greeted each other happily.
Trip was surprised to see Pikachu. "Who's that Pokemon?" Trip asked, then he scanned Pikachu with his Pokedex.
"Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu's tail is sometimes struck by lightning as it raises it to check its surrounding." Trip's Pokedex explained before Trip put it away to take some pictures of Pikachu. That confused Ash, Pikachu, Cabba, and Tepig.
"What are you doing?" Ash asked in confusion.
Trip glared at Ash, "This is why we don't like people from the boonies. Listen up, a Pikachu in Unova is huge! It's a really big deal!"
"It's not a big deal! Pikachu is my number one partner and buddy!" Ash explained.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu agreed, stunning both Trip and Cabba.
"Is it strong?" Trip asked.
"Oh, you bet!" Ash answered with determination.
"Pika Pika!" Pikachu agreed again.
"You guys wanna see?" Ash asked.
Trip smirked, "Sure I do."
Cabba nodded, "I'd like to see myself."
"Oh yeah! Cabba, this will be the first time you've seen a Pokemon Battle, so this will be good for everyone." Ash said, confusing Trip.
"You've never seen a Pokemon Battle before?" Trip asked the Saiyan.
Cabba shook his head, "Most of the time, I use Martial Arts in order to defend others."
Soon they were at the battlefield for Trip and Ash to have their Pokemon Battle.
"Snivy, go get them now!" Trip called, bringing Snivy out for battle.
"Snivy!" Snivy growled.
"Pikachu, you ready for this?" Ash asked.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu answered happily, but then Trip took a few more pictures.
"Why are you taking pictures now Trip?" Cabba asked in confusion.
"I'm recording my journey! And remember, this is Snivy's first battle!" Trip explained as Oshawott watched from behind a tree.
"And this is our first battle in the Unova Region! So we'll go first! Pikachu, use Quick Attack!" Ash called to get the battle started.
Pikachu ran at quick speed towards Snivy. Cabba gasped, "Wow, that's fast!"
"How's that?" Ash asked as Snivy skidded back to Trip.
"Snivy, Tackle!" Trip yelled as Snivy charged towards Pikachu.
"Dodge it, quick!" Ash called. Pikachu then dodged the attack, one that was thrown twice.
"Nice one Pikachu! Now, use Thunderbolt!" Ash called as Pikachu charged up and tried to use the attack, but to his, Ash, and Cabba's surprise, it didn't work.
Snivy was able to hit Pikachu with another Tackle attack. The Electric-Type skidded back to Ash, who called, "Alright, Pikachu, Thunderbolt again!"
Pikachu tried again, but like before, it failed.
"Hey, what's wrong, Pikachu?" Ash asked.
"Come on, are you even trying?" Trip asked, he and Snivy were unimpressed.
"Of course we are! Argh! Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!" Ash called as Pikachu ran and tried to use Volt Tackle, but like Thunderbolt, it didn't work and Pikachu began to pant and Ash and Cabba were surprised. "But why?" Ash asked himself.
"Something isn't right here. What's going on with Pikachu?" Cabba thought.
"Something's wrong with Pikachu, but what!?" Ash thought, sweating.
"Okay, is this some kind of strategy? Calling moves that it can't even use?" Trip asked, making Ash grit his teeth.
Cabba tried to calm him down by saying, "Try to relax for now Ash! Can't Pikachu use any other attacks?"
Ash answered the Saiyan's question, "Of course he can Cabba, watch this! Iron Tail!"
Then Pikachu's tail began to glow with iron. This made Ash happy as he exclaimed, "Ah, just Electric-Type moves!"
"Wow, look at that!" Cabba said in awe.
"Tepig!" Tepig voiced his agreement.
"Dodge it!" Trip called as Snivy dodged Pikachu's Iron Tail attack, surprising Ash as Pikachu got ready for the next attack.
"Alright, Snivy, use Leaf Tornado!" Trip called as Snivy spun around, creating a tornado surrounded by leaves.
"Whoa!" Cabba gasped with Tepig's eyes widening a little.
"What move is that?" Ash asked.
"Don't know it, do you?" Trip asked as Ash gritted his teeth. "Go Snivy!" Trip yelled.
Snivy's Leaf Tornado sucked Pikachu in, causing a good amount of damage.
"Pikachu!" Ash and Cabba yelled with concern as Snivy smashed Pikachu into the ground hard.
As the dust cleared, Pikachu was seen lying down on the destroyed part of the battlefield, unconscious.
Ash quickly ran over to Pikachu and picked him up, "Pikachu... Hey, Pikachu!"
"Our first win. I thought we synched pretty well in our first battle. I'm glad I chose you." Trip said, returning Snivy to his Poke Ball.
Cabba and Tepig ran over to Ash as Cabba asked, "Do you think Pikachu's okay?"
"Tepig Tepig?" Tepig asked, also sounding concerned.
Ash didn't answer but he began to run back to the Lab, even as Trip called out, "I think you better start over with the basics!" Then he turned to Cabba and said, "As for you, now that you've seen a Pokemon Battle, I'll be waiting to have a battle with you soon." Then he walked away to start his journey.
Cabba didn't say anything, but he and Tepig ran after Ash and Pikachu.
In the Lab, they began to test Pikachu once again.
"Professor Juniper! So, something's really not right with Pikachu after all!" Ash called as Professor Juniper checked the status.
"It appears that Pikachu has suffered an electrical overload of some kind." Professor Juniper said.
"Huh?/Overload?" Ash and Cabba asked at the same time.
"Right! All that electrical energy that Pikachu absorbed from the thunderstorm was too much." Professor Juniper explained.
"And that would explain why Pikachu is not able to use any Electric-Type moves." Professor Oak added.
Ash then looked at Pikachu, "No way... You mean Pikachu's not able to use Electric-Type moves anymore?"
Cabba saw that Ash looked desperate to try and help Pikachu. The Saiyan wanted to find a way to help, but nothing was coming to him.
Then suddenly, the stats began to buzz in a random malfunction. "What's going on?" Professor Oak asked.
Pikachu began to spark as he lost control of the electricity. He began to grunt as he tried to take control. "Pikachu!" Ash gasped.
Cabba then sensed something from outside as he said, "It's that same strong energy I sensed earlier, but that could mean..." He turned his head to the window and then gasped, "Professor Juniper, out the window!"
Professor Juniper and Professor Oak looked out the window as well to see the clouds. Then a lightning bolt hit the satellite, shutting off the power and sending more electricity to poor Pikachu.
"Reboot the system, quickly!" Professor Juniper ordered as the assistant ran off to do just that. He didn't even see Oshawott spying on them again.
"It couldn't be... Could it?" Professor Juniper asked, turning back to the clouds.
"You have a strong will... The potential to save..." Cabba heard the same voice from earlier as he looked at the cloud again.
"Could the source of those storms be... Zekrom? The Legendary Pokemon?" Professor Juniper asked.
"Zekrom?" Ash asked in confusion.
"Who's Zekrom?" Cabba asked, still curious about the voice he heard earlier.
"Zekrom is quite a legend in these parts. From within its thunderclouds, Zekrom watches over people and Pokemon. And the lightning bolts are said to be... Judgments, up above, they are also pillars of the skies..." Professor Juniper explained.
Cabba looked back at the clouds as he thought, "There are really beings with that kind of power on planets like this?"
Pikachu then screamed in pain because of the electricity being zapped into his body.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled out while Tepig got scared and hid behind Cabba who just kept looking at the clouds.
On his first day on a planet known as Earth, Cabba has witnessed a lot of things, all of them involving electricity. What can he and Ash do to help poor Pikachu? And is Zekrom, the Legendary Pokemon, really the reason Pikachu's going through this? The journey continues next time on Pokemon Super: Black & White!
Cabba's Pokemon Team (So far):
