Chapter One: Pokemon I Choose You
It was very late at night and all the children were sleeping, or at least they should be. But for a certain black-haired boy, that wasn't happening. Try as he might, his brain was on overload with excitement. "And Nidorino begins the battle with a horn attack." The boy's TV said giving him a play by play of a pokemon battle "Oh but Gengar bounces right back." The announcer said Pokemon are creatures that inhabit this world and all Pokemon come in different shapes and sizes.
Some live in the wild while others live with humans making them pets and a part of the family. But some battle with their owners that are called "Trainers" in what they call Pokemon Battles, which is what the young boy was watching on TV "And there it is folks, the hypnosis power of Gengar. This could be the end of this battle, but wait, Nidorino's trainer calls it back. Which pokemon will he use?" The Announcer shouted as the trainer threw a ball, these balls are called pokeballs. It is a crucial item for a Trainer for storing and catching Pokemon
"Oh my, the trainer just released Onix!" The Announcer said as a Pokemon that resembled a giant chain of gray boulders that became smaller towards the tail. There was a rocky spine on its head with a pair of black eyes beneath it "This giant Pokemon goes in for the attack. Oh! Gengar just jumped aside, I'll say, Gengar is moving beautifully today." The Announcer said as the boy watched the battle in delight "Yes, very soon that will be me in that stadium." The boy said with determination, this young boy is Ashton Charles Kallai Ketchum, who likes to be called Ash. A ten-year-old boy from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region.
"I can't believe it, I can finally get my very first Pokemon." Ash said tying his shoe laces, after 10 months and 10 days, 10-year-olds can get a starter Pokemon from Pokemon Professors like Professor Oak who just happens to be the town's Pokemon expert "I will journey far and learn everything there is about Pokemon, and I hereby declare to the people and the Pokemon of the world." Ash said holding up his alarm clock that was red and white like a pokeball "I will become a Pokemon Master!" He shouted "Yes! That is what I'll..." Ash started until he was interrupted by a woman who had walked into his room at that point and yelled "Ashton Charles! Get to bed!"
This woman surprised him so much that he threw his clock, the woman gave him a strict look as she caught the clock without fumbling. This woman was Delia Miyoshi, the Mother of Ash. Ash looked at his mother with a guilty smile; the only times Ms. Miyoshi would ever say her son's full name instead of his nickname was when he was in trouble and Ash knew that well. Still glaring at him with the clock in her hand as it showed the time, "It's 11 o'clock and you should be asleep." She said sternly "But I'm way too excited to sleep. Tomorrow is when I get my first Pokemon and start my Pokemon journey." Ash said
"Well if you can't sleep, at least you should get ready for tomorrow. Professor Oak is showing a Television Program for all the new trainers." Ms. Miyoshi said changing the channel to an elder man with light tan hair and blue eyes "Good Evening, Pallet. Tomorrow is the big day for our newest trainers to start on their journey. But before they go out they will need to choose one of these started Pokemon. The three options are: A Bulbasaur, a grass type. A Charmander, a fire type. Or a Squirtle, which is a water type." Professor Oak said
"I want these lights out once this is finished, understand." Ms. Miyoshi said sternly "Yeah, yeah, I will." Ash said, "And don't sleep in those clothes." Ms. Miyoshi said, "I said I will." Ash snapped "Don't you use that tone with me, and don't you start acting like your father either." Ms. Miyoshi scolded "Don't you dare bring Dad into this." Ash said bitterly "Then don't snap at me young man." Ms. Miyoshi said then left his room shutting the door behind her Ash groaned, ever since his father left to go on a second Pokemon journey without saying goodbye to Ash when he was five, his impression on his father wasn't good one.
Ash only found out that his father was a on another Pokemon journey because that what he said to his mother before he left, saying he'd be back soon. Ash wondered why he would go on other one when clearly, he was successful on his first one, he was even worldly known as being a Pokemon Master, he also won a lot of Pokemon Leagues including the Indigo League. So, it was a mystery to him why he went on a second one, but two years went by and he still hadn't returned home. In fact, he didn't even registered for the Indigo League, or any of the other region leagues as a matter of fact.
No one seemed to know where he ran off to, he never called or write; he didn't even send a present, let alone a birthday card to Ash. Three years after his father left, heartbroken and angry, Delia Ketchum wrote to her husband saying she wanted a divorce, and by August of that year she divorced her husband and changed back to her maiden name. Ash clenched his fists into his hands as he looked at the newspaper article about his father winning his first Pokemon League "I will become an even better Pokemon Master then my father ever was." Ash said with dedication in his voice
After the program, Ash changed into his pajamas and went to bed. It wasn't long before he fell asleep and began to dream about his first Pokemon. He mumbled here and there talking about Bulbasaur and Squirtle. But when he turned over in his sleep he accidentally bumped into his bookshelf headboard making the alarm clock fall right into his hand, he then sat up and threw the clock across the room "Choose it or lose it." He said in his sleep then fell back onto his bed without waking up. Morning was shown throughout Pallet Town, but while most of the people were awake, Ash was still in his bed asleep grumbling about Charmander.
But suddenly a loud crash was heard making Ash bolt straight up on his bed "Ahh! What time is it?" He questioned loudly he jumped out of his bed and ran straight towards Professor Oak's Lab "Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Charmander. Any of them are fine just please save one for me." Ash said while running to the lab where a huge crowd was standing with girls in cheerleader uniforms cheering for someone "Sorry! Excuse me!" Ash said cutting through the crowd when he accidentally ran into someone making him fall to the ground hard
"Hey, watch where you're going." A boy said with Mahogany hair and dark Viridian eyes "Well, well, if it isn't Ash Ketchum." The boy said who seemed to know Ash "Oh, it's Gary Oak." Ash said looking not too happy he saw Gary "Better late than never, I guess. At least you got a chance to see me." Gary said "Oh, like I wanted to see you." Ash said "Really, then how come you're late?" Gary asked "Well, I, uh." Ash said not knowing what to say, "Though of course, you have been late from the start." Gary said Ash growled
"How would you know?" Ash asked, "I've got a Pokemon and you don't." Gary said "What? You got your first Pokemon?!" Ash exclaimed "Yep, and it's right inside this Pokeball." He said holding it in front of Ash's face "It's good to have a grandfather in the Pokemon business, isn't it."? Gary said pushing Ash's buttons to the limit. Gary fully knew that Ash's father's side of the family was all in the Pokemon business including his father's father, Ash's grandfather, were all extremely famous Pokemon Masters and Ash wanted to rise above all of them.
The cheerleaders cheered for Gary as the crowd applauded "Thank you fans, thank you all for this great honor. I promise all of you that I will become a Pokemon Master and make the town of Pallet known all around the world." Gary shouted to the crowd which cheered and applauded Ash was half tempted to say that his father already accomplished that, but he didn't want to talk about his father at that moment "So what type of Pokemon did you get Gary?" Ash asked with his arms crossed "It's none of your business, Ketchum." Gary said
"Why did I even ask?" Ash questioned as he hung his head down low in shame "Maybe it's because you're too dumb to think." Gary said "I was keeping my mouth shut about this, but you do know my father made the town of Pallet famous already. So that dream of yours won't be coming true." Ash said, "Oh yeah, I could think of a million things about your father." Gary said, "Don't you dare cross that line Gary." Ash said glaring at him, Gary scoffed and walked away "I don't have time for you looser." He said getting into a red convertible
"Thank you for coming to see history in the making." Gary said to the crowd "Now I, Gary Oak, am off on my Pokemon journey." He said as the convertible pulled away with the crowd following right behind him, Ash sighed in frustration "Man, that ego of his has gotten bigger and worse over the years but I'll show him." Ash said as Professor Oak came up behind him "So, you decided to show up after all then." He said as Ash looked behind him "Oh, I'm here Professor Oak, to get my Pokemon of course." Ash said standing in front of Professor Oak
"Your Pokemon?" Professor Oak question "Yes, my first Pokemon, I'm totally psyched and ready." Ash said Professor Oak looked at Ash from head to toe, seeing he was in his pajamas, he wasn't too sure "Well, I can tell you are psyched but the ready part? Well, you look like you're ready for bed not Pokemon Training. I'm hoping you're not going to be training in your pajamas." Professor Oak said with a small chuckle "Oh, of course not Professor, I just got up late this morning but believe me when I say I'm ready for my first Pokemon." Ash said with a flame of determination Professor Oak nodded "Well then, come inside." He said then turned to go back into the lab with Ash right behind him.
In front of Ash stood a device that had three pokeballs sitting on top of it with a glass dome over it. Professor Oak pressed a button and the glass dome retracted into a special compartment "I thought it about it a lot and it took me awhile, but I finally decided that I would choose Squirtle." Ash said while picking up the pokeball only to find it empty "Huh?" He questioned "Already taken by a trainer who wasn't late." Professor Oak said Ash groaned "Why of all the days did I chose today to sleep in?" He questioned himself as he sat the empty Pokeball back down
"But that doesn't matter, I will go with my second choice, Bulbasaur." He said picking up another pokeball but found that empty too "What the...?" Ash exclaimed "Also taken by a kid who wasn't late." Professor Oak said, "Well that's no problem." Ash said as he sat the pokeball back down "Because my first Pokemon will be Charmander." He said picking up a pokeball with no Pokemon inside "You must be kidding me." Ash said, "As they always say, 'The early bird gets the worm.' But in this case, I should be saying 'The early bird gets the Pokemon.'" Professor Oak said
"So, there's no more Pokemon left for me?" Ash asked hoping Professor Oak would say no "Well, there is one left, but I..." Professor Oak started to say when Ash interrupted him saying "Professor I'll take it." Professor Oak sighed and revealed a fourth pokeball inside a compartment "I should warn you. This particular Pokemon is a bit different and a challenge." He said, "You know the rules as well as I do Professor, I can't start training until I have a starter Pokemon." Ash said "Well, if that's the case..." Professor Oak said handing it to Ash when it suddenly opened A bright light was seen then suddenly dimmed and revealed a small, short, chubby Pokemon.
It was covered in yellow fur and had long, pointed ears with black tips. Its mouth was small and on each of its cheeks were two red circles. It had short forearms with five fingers on each paw. Its feet had three toes and on its back were two brown strips with a patch of brown fur at the base of its tail which was shaped like a lightning bolt. It shook itself, then when it opened its eyes it revealed to have brown colored eyes.
It then blinked a couple of times then said "Pikachu." As it looked up at Ash "It's called a Pikachu." Professor Oak said "Ah, it's so cute, it's the best one of all." Ash said "Yeah, you'll see." Professor Oak said sarcastically "Hi there Pikachu, my name is Ash." He said picking it up and giving it a hug which it apparently didn't like "Pika." It said as sparks came from its two red circles and electrocuted Ash knocking him to the floor "Ah, what did it just do?" Ash questioned
"Well Pikachu is an electric mouse. It's usually very shy, but its electric attacks pack quite a punch." Professor Oak said "Yeah. I see what you mean." Ash said staring at Pikachu "Pikachu." It said "Now, here is your Pokedex and pokeballs. Remember you can only carry up to six Pokemon." Professor Oak said handing him a red rectangular device and five pokeballs that were shrunk Ash smiled happily as he got up then laughed "Great! Thanks Professor Oak." Ash said taking the pokedex and pokeballs from the professor's hand.
When Ash ventured outside while holding Pikachu and with Professor Oak beside him he was greeted by another crowd but 3xs smaller than Gary's and instead of cheerleaders, people were tooting horns, pounding on drums, and making other weird noises, but right in front of the crowd was Ms. Miyoshi "Mom." He said shocked "Oh Ash, I'm so proud of you." Ms. Miyoshi said as Ash sat Pikachu on the ground "You're finally going to start your Pokemon training and fulfill your dream." Ms. Miyoshi said As Ash smiled at her "Thanks Mom." He said as his mother's eyes got all watery
"Oh, I promised myself I wouldn't do this. It's just I'm gonna miss you so much." Ms. Miyoshi said wiping her tears away as Pikachu walked up and stood next to Ash "Pikachu." It said as Ms. Miyoshi took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, she then opened Ash's backpack that was in her hands "I packed your sneakers and jeans, nice clean shirts and underwear, and your favorite snacks and some hot chocolate in case you want something hot, just be careful not to burn yourself; and a pair of rubber gloves to do your laundry and a new clothesline to dry..." Ms. Miyoshi babbled on handing Ash the stuff from his backpack when he grabbed his stuff and his backpack from his mother's hands. "Mom, please stop. You're embarrassing me in front of all these people." Ash said with a smile "Oh, sorry about that sweetie. I guess now that you're a Pokemon Trainer you can take care of yourself." Ms. Miyoshi said
"Yep, that's right. I'm a big kid now." Ash said standing proud "So what type of Pokemon did you get?" His mother asked while looking down to see Pikachu "Is this it?" She asked "Pikachu." It said "Yep, this is my first Pokemon." Ash said "Pi." It said looking away from Ash "Uh?" Ash said looking a little perplexed but quickly resorted back "With Pikachu at my side, I can catch all the pokemon in the world and my dream to become a Pokemon Master come true." Ash said looking determined "Aren't all Pokemon supposed to stay inside their pokeballs?" Ms. Miyoshi questioned
"Oh, right." Ash said grabbing Pikachu's pokeball from his pocket "Ok Pikachu, into the pokeball now." Ash said then threw the ball lightly, but Pikachu hit it with its tail sending it back into his hand all the while saying "Pika." Ash gaped shocked that a pokemon would do that He then threw it again but was sent back by Pikachu who hit it with its foot this time saying "Chu." They repeated this little game, you could call it, while getting faster "Well, isn't that sweet; you two are already friends." Ms. Miyoshi said "Yeah." Ash said picking up Pikachu
"Pikachu and I are good friends." He said "But, it's sure a strange Pokemon." Ms. Miyoshi said, "What do you mean by that?" Ash questioned then began to tremble when he noticed Pikachu's face, once again Pikachu shocked Ash making him fall over "Ash!" Ms. Miyoshi shouted then ran up to her son as he sat up "I'm ok." He reassured his mother "Those rubber gloves your mother packed will come in handy." Professor Oak said, "Why is that?" Ash asked, "Rubber blocks electricity." The Professor said Ash sighed in relief "Thank goodness for that." Ash said "Alright, I want you to come back to the house and get cleaned up before you start on your Pokemon journey." Ms. Miyoshi said "Uh, ok Mom." Ash said as he nodded his head
Pikachu was in Ash's house, sitting on the couch. It then let out a great big sigh "Pika, pika; pikachu." It said (T: How in the world did I end up getting stuck with this loser.) Pikachu glanced around the house, it saw Pokemon trophies, Gym Badges, and newspaper clippings with a young boy that looked extremely like Ash, only difference, this boy's eyes was a dark blue and his hair wasn't as pointy, however that was only because of the hat the boy was wearing. He then glanced at the pictures, some with Ash and his parents, and some with his father's pokemon while they played together. Pikachu let out another sigh "Pi, pika. Pika, pikachu, pika." It said (T: He seems to nice but I'm not buying it for one minute. All trainers are the same.)
At that point Ash came out wearing a medium blue jacket with gold trimming, white collar and sleeves, black t-shirt, blue jeans with light blue cuffs, green fingerless gloves with light green borders, black and white sneakers with a red dot on each shoe and a red and white hat with a stylized "L" which he was just putting on as he was walking out "Ok Mom, I'm ready." He said "Pikachu, Chu, pi, pi, pika." Pikachu said (T: At least he doesn't look like an idiot now.) "Ok sweetheart, you be careful out there." She said tidying up her son "Don't worry I will." Ash said "Oh, I almost forgot. Stay here for a minute, I'll be right back." Ms. Miyoshi said and left the room
"Huh? Wonder what she's doing." Ash said she returned not too long after that, she walked up to Ash and held out her arm "Your father wanted to give this to you." She said in her hand was a metal hand pin shaped like a trifoliate leaf. Its borders was a light brown and in the center was three yellow green shaped Lanceolate leaves and at the bottom of the pin was a big green pearl that covered half of the leaves, Ash stared at the pin then looked up at his mother "What is this Mom?" He asked, "It was your father's first gym badge he ever got, he wanted you to carry this when you went out on your own journey for good luck." She said Ash took the badge out of his mother's hand and just stared at it not saying a word
"Ash I know things have been pretty hard ever since your father left, and I know he's not the person either of us want to see right now, but don't let the past control you, I know that you think the reason why your father left was because of you but I'm here to tell you that it's 100 percent untrue. He loves you so much, and that badge is proof of my words, and if he was here right now, there's no doubt that he would be trying his best not to cry." Ms. Miyoshi said Ash didn't say anything but just nodded, he then took his backpack off and pinned the badge to the side of it
"Alright, try to remember to have fun on your journey." Ms. Miyoshi said, "Ok Mom." He said, "Now go out there and make me proud." Ms. Miyoshi said "Alright, let's go Pikachu." Ash said leaving but when he opened the door half way he noticed Pikachu wasn't following him "Uh, Pikachu?" He questioned "Pi." It said turning its head away from him making Ash fall flat on his face "Oh dear, this one is stubborn." Ms. Miyoshi said Ash sighed "Oh well, nobody said it would be easy." He said with a sweat drop
And how much Ash was right. Pikachu blatantly refused to follow Ash, so he had to wear his rubber gloves in case Pikachu decided to shock him again then tie his clothesline around Pikachu and drag it across the road. Not far from the two, a small Pokemon with pale yellow fur with brown eyes and a tuft of hair on its head, a black collar and black tail as well as black ear tips with three spikes at the tips of each ear, was gathering a few flowers
"Pichu!" It said happily looking satisfied with its small bouquet. It walked over towards a girl with blonde hair that was in a side ponytail and held up with a white headband, and her bangs covered her blue eyes. She wore a chocolate brown dress that went just above her knees that had a light blue tattered denim hoodie over it. Her shoes were a gray converse and were really worn out. Her backpack was also very worn out; it was so worn out that it was starting to look gray instead of black. The girl was packing things into her backpack when the small Pokemon hid the bouquet behind its back then tugged on the girl's dress getting her attention
"Hmm?" The girl said looking behind her then smiled when she saw the Pokemon "What is it Chuot Dien?" She asked (Pronunciation: Ch-aw-t Dee-en) "Piiii-chu." It said revealing the bouquet, the girl gasped "Are those for me?" She asked "Pichu." It said nodding "Aww, you're so sweet." She said taking the bouquet and sniffing them "They're beautiful, thanks Awa-chan." The girl said as she petted the Pokemon's head "Pii-chu." It squealed in pleasure the girl placed the flowers in the side of her backpack's pouch then gather three pokeballs and placed them inside "Ok, I've got everybody's pokeballs, let's get moving Chuot Dien." She said
"Pichu." It said and was about to jump when it noticed Ash dragging Pikachu "Pi? Chupichu." It said "Huh? What's wrong?" She asked "Pichu, pichu." It said pointing to the duo "What in the name of..." She said when she saw what Chuot Dien was pointing to "Huh, I wonder what pokemon that is." She said pulling out a Pokedex similar to Ash's, but her's was white, she then pointed it at Pikachu. "Pikachu, the Mouse Pokemon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu can store an intense amount of electricity using the two pouches on both side of its cheeks, it raises its tail to check its surroundings, and will sometimes get struck by lightning during a storm, but that never hurts it. " The Pokedex said
"So, the evolved form of Pichu, so cool right Chuot Dien." The girl said "Pichu!" It shouted happily "Then let's go have a closer look then." She said walking up to the two Pikachu grunted as Ash continued to drag it, but he soon he became tired of dragging Pikachu, so he stopped and sighed "Pikachu, are you going to be like this the whole way?" He asked "Pi." It said turning away once again, the girl stood behind a tree and chuckled "Someone is very stubborn." She said making Chuot Dien laugh behind its paws "Is it because you don't like me?" Ash asked
"Pika, pika." Pikachu said nodding its head "Well, I like you a lot; and since I'm your trainer as well as your partner, don't you think you could be a little nicer and just open your mouth and tell me what's wrong." Ash said as Pikachu scratch its ear then opened its mouth as wide as it could. "Uh, that's not what I meant." Ash said, "Is your name the only thing you can say?" Ash asked "Pika." It said nodding once more "Wow, did you just realize that?" The girl asked who now was walking up to Ash with Chuot Dien beside her "Huh? Who are you?" Ash asked
"My name's Anaya (A/N: Pronounced as Uh-neye-yah), I'm from Minato City, and I'm currently on a Pokemon Journey with my partner Chuot Dien." The girl named Anaya said "Pichu." Chuot Dien said "Ah, who's that Pokemon?" Ash asked pulling out his pokedex and pointed it at Chuot Dien "Pichu, the Tiny Mouse Pokemon, and the Pre-evolved form of Pikachu. Despite their size, Pichu can zap human adults with intense electric attacks. But, since they are unable to control their electricity, they will end up shocking themselves if surprised or frightened." The Pokedex said "Wow, the pre-evolved form of Pikachu." Ash said with glee as he stood up
"Yours sure looks different than the one in the Pokedex." Ash said noticing that the Pichu in the Pokedex didn't have spiky ears or tufts on its head "Yep, my Pichu is one of a kind." Anaya said petting Chuot Dien's cheek Ash knelt back down facing Pikachu "See Pikachu, you're just like all pokemon; that means you should get inside your pokeball." Ash said when Anaya started laughing "That's not entirely true." She said "Well, I didn't ask you." Ash said bitterly
"You must be a new trainer, since you clearly don't know anything about Pokemon." Anaya said "So, I just started; what does that have to do with Pokemon and Pokeballs?" He asked, "It has everything to do with Pokemon and Pokeballs, you see there's a lot more than just having a Pokemon going inside its pokeball." Anaya said "That's not what the Pokedex said, it says that a pokemon stays inside pokeballs. Here, I'll prove it to ya." He said pulling out his Pokedex then opening it
"While being trained, a Pokemon usually says inside its pokeball." The Pokedex said "See, I know what I'm doing." Ash argued "Riiight." Anaya said sarcastically "Pika!" Pikachu said jumping a little and pressed one of the buttons on the Pokedex "However, there are many exceptions. Some Pokemon hate being confined." The Pokedex said Anaya laughed "Man, your Pokemon is smarter than you are." She said making Ash growl "Who made you Queen of the Kanto Region?" He asked
"Did I say anything about that? No, I didn't, man you've got a bad temper right Chuot Dien." She said "Ch-what?" Ash questioned "It's Chuot Dien, it's what I named my Pichu, it's actually Vietnamese for Electric Mouse." Anaya said giving Chuot Dien more attention "How do you know that's what it means?" Ash questioned "I looked it up dummy." Anaya said looking annoyed "Hey, I'm not a dummy. I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town." Ash said, "Isn't Pallet the town that's close to here?" Anaya asked "Uh, Yeah." Ash said "Man, you really did just start your journey." Anaya said teasing him
"So, what if I did just start today, how long ago did you start?" Ash asked her "When did I start? Probably about three months tops." She said "What! Then how come you're giving me a hard time when clearly you just started too?" Ash questioned "It's longer than you." She said looking smug "Whatever, I'll show you. This ought ta make things better." Ash said untying Pikachu from the clothesline "I'll even get rid of the gloves." Ash said taking off the gloves "Is this better?" He asked holding out one finger towards Pikachu "Pi." It said turning away from Ash again
"Still not good enough!" Ash exclaimed softly "Pika." Pikachu said while nodding its head. Ash sighed as Anaya and Chuot Dien chuckled, suddenly the two trainers and their Pokemon heard something walk behind them. They turned around and saw a small, plump-bodied avian Pokemon. It was primarily brown with a cream-colored face, underside, and flight feathers. Both of its feet and beak were a pinkish-gray color. It had black angular marking around both of its eyes and a small crest of brown with cream feathers above its eyes "It's a Pidgey." Ash said, "Thanks for that info Dexter." Anaya said looking irritated
Ash grunted at her then reached into his pocket and grabbed his pokedex then pointed it towards the Pidgey "Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokemon, Pidgey are docile Pokemon, it generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. This makes them the perfect target for beginning Pokemon Trainers." The Pokedex said "This must be our lucky day. Pikachu, let's capture it." Ash said "Chu." Pikachu said looking away "Seriously Pikachu, aren't you ever gonna listen to me?" Ash questioned "Chu." It said still looking away "I take that as a no." Anaya said making Ash grunt in frustration "I didn't ask for your opinion." Ash said, "Come on Pikachu, why won't you?" He asked "Pika." It said taking off
"Pika, pika, pika." It said while climbing up a tree then sat on one of the branches "Cha!" It said yawning "Good Lord, Chuot Dien wasn't this stubborn when I chose it." Anaya said looking up the tree at Pikachu "Pi! Chupichu!" Chuot Dien said sounding offended "Oh, don't you start. You are totally stubborn, and you know it." Anaya said "Pichu." Chuot Dien said with a sweat drop "Still, even though I think he's an idiot." Anaya said "Hey!" Ash exclaimed "I still think you're being too reluctant, Pikachu. Just give him the benefit of the doubt and see what happens." Anaya said "Pika." Pikachu said turning away from Anaya this time
"Pichu." Chuot Dien said hopping from Anaya's shoulder and landed on the trunk of the tree, it then climbed up the trunk and got on the same branch as Pikachu "Pichu. Pichu, chupi, pichu?" Chuot Dien asked (T: Hey, what's up with you? Why are you being so mean to that trainer down there?) "Pika, pi pikachu, pi, pi, pi, pika." Pikachu said (T: Why should I be nice to someone that will see me nothing more than his servant?) "Pichu, pichu. Pi, pi, pichu. Pichu, pichu; pichu, pi, pichu." Chuot Dien said (T: I see where you're coming from, and I feel the same way, but I don't think that's what the trainer is thinking.)
"Pika, pikachu. Pi, pi, pi, pika, pikachu, cha. Pikachu, pika, pika, pika. Pikachu, cha pika, pikachu." Pikachu responded (T: Ha, you may not know what he's thinking, but I do, and I know he doesn't see us as equals. No trainer does, all trainers think we are here to serve them. So, I refuse to be a slave.) "Pichu, pichu!" Chuot Dien shouted sounding angry (T: Not all trainers are like that.) "Pika, pika. Pikachu, pikachu?" Pikachu questioned (T: Whoa, what's got you all electrified?) "Pichu, pichu. Pipichu, pi, pi, pichu." Chuot Dien (T: Anaya is not like that; she and I are friends.) "Pika." Pikachu said (T: Right.) "Pichu." Chuot Dien growled then hopped down and into Anaya's arms
"Pichu, pichu. Pi, pichu, chu, pichu, pi, pichu. Chu, pi, pichu." Chuot Dien said (T: Just like us Pokemon, each and every trainer is different and unique; and I know my trainer Anaya is one of those unique trainers.) "That Pikachu is a strange one alright." Anaya said "Okay, I get the message now. I don't want or need your help. I can catch that Pidgey all by myself." Ash said setting his bookbag down "I pledged that I would capture all the pokemon in the world and become a Pokemon Master, and now I'm ready to take the next step on fulfilling that pledge." Ash said as he grabbed the shrunk pokeball from his belt.
"Pidgey, you're gonna be mine." Ash said he then pressed the button on the front making it return to its normal size he then turned his hat around "Pokeball, go!" He shouted throwing the Pokeball at the Pidgey which turned red then vanished into the Pokeball "Yes! I did it!" Ash shouted when he noticed that the Pokeball was wiggling. It wiggled for a while until a bright white light came out of the Pokeball revealing it to be the Pidgey, the Pokeball was sent back to Ash, who caught it, while the Pidgey made a clean getaway. "Aww, I blew it." Ash said making Pikachu giggle
Ash grunted as he pulled out his Pokedex and opened it "To capture a Pokemon, you usually have your own Pokemon battle with the other it until it is weak." The Pokedex said "I could've told you that." Anaya said "Great, now they tell me." Ash said placing the Pokedex back into his pocket while Pikachu howled with laughter "Even if I knew that beforehand; I couldn't battle with it, even if I wanted to; and that's only because the only Pokemon I have won't even listen to me." Ash said looking back at Pikachu when he noticed something moving around in his backpack.
"Hey!" Ash exclaimed as the culprit came out of his backpack revealing it to be a small rodent Pokemon, it had purple fur on its back and cream fur on its stomach. It had large teeth with long whiskers and a long, slightly curled tail. "Get out of my backpack!" Ash said shouting at the Pokemon which left in a hurry, before it disappeared into the grass, it looked back at Ash and hissed at him. "What was that pokemon?" Ash question taking out his Pokedex and opening it on contact "Rattata, the Mouse Pokemon, Rattata can be found almost anywhere, but it mostly likes to lives in forests. It like cheese, nuts, fruits, and berries." The Pokedex said
"Yeah, but we're in a open field, not a forest." Ash said with a hint of anger in his voice "It also comes out into open fields to steal food from stupid travelers." The Pokedex said "Wha-are you calling me stupid?" Ash questioned as Pikachu laughed even harder Ash glared at the electric Pokemon "Man, even the Pokedex mocks you." Anaya said, "Oh yeah, I like to see you try and capture a Pokemon." Ash said challenging her "Challenge accepted." She said She then started scanning for a Pokemon she seemed interested in, she then noticed a pokemon that had a yellow hide that was patterned like a brick, but its muzzle and underbelly was white. Its eyes were blue and almond shaped, it had a pointed snout and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail was thick and conical; It had two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws.
Anaya grabbed her Pokedex and scanned the Pokemon "Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokemon, Sandshrew spends much of its time hidden underground in deep burrows. It only emerges to hunt, which waits within its burrow then instantly lunges out and then drags in passing prey." The Pokedex said "So, it's a ground type. You're a good choice, and not to mention cute too." Anaya said putting her Pokedex away "Going by how a Pokemon looks, you've gotta be kidding right?" Ash questioned "Why do you just shut up and watch a pro catch a Pokemon." Anaya said then grabbed a Pokeball from her pocket and made it bigger Ash watched curiously
"Pokeball, go!" She shouted throwing a pokeball which hit the ground, a burst of white light came out and revealed a pinniped Pokemon with a thick bluish white fur. It had a pale maw and a large red tongue with a pair of tusks on its lower jaw. It had circular eyes and a black nose. On its head was a small horn and had two flippers on its chest and two flippers on its tail which looked like a water spout. "Huh, who's that Pokemon?" Ash question taking out his pokedex "Seel, the Sea Lion Pokemon, Seel has a warm fur and thick hide that allows it to swim in waters as cold as negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit." It said
"Geez, that's pretty cold." Ash said "Seel, use headbutt." Anaya said as commanded it lunged at Sandshrew and tried to attack but it curled up and started rolling "Huh? What did it just do?" Anaya questioned as she pulled out her pokedex "Not so hot now are you." Ash said looking satisfied "Shut up, and I'll show you how hot I can be." Anaya said looking incensed Ash cringed in fear and said "Ok, I will." Anaya then opened her Pokedex "Sandshrew has the ability to curl into a tight ball to protect itself from great falls and opponents." It said
"I see, then we'll have to uncurl it from its ball if we want water attacks to work; but first we have to distract it." Anaya said putting the pokedex away "Ok Seel dodge Sandshrew's attack." Anaya said "Seel." Seel said as Sandshrew came rolling in to attack Seel landed a small distance away from the Sandshrew which came charging back at Seel "Seel, dodge it again." Anaya order Seel jumped and landed back in front of Anaya Sandshrew continue to roll as it started to turn "Ok Seel, use headbutt now and aim it at Sandshrew's side!" Anaya shouted
"Huh?" Ash said confused "Pika?" Pikachu said right after Ash and who was also confused "Seel." It said giving Anaya a nod it then jumped and rammed into Sandshrew's side knocking it off balance, it skid across the ground and started to get up "Seel, use water gun on Sandshrew before it has the time to recover." Anaya said it then released a spiral of water from its mouth hitting Sandshrew "Seel use headbutt and then water gun to finish this up." Anaya said Seel charged at Sandshrew as it skid across the ground again but before it could get up Seel attack it with water gun making it hit a tree "Now's my chance." She said grabbing an empty pokeball "Go pokeball!" She shouted as she threw the pokeball, it hit Sandshrew and encased it in a red light then drew it into the pokeball.
It wiggled for a little bit, but not long after it sounded off, telling Anaya that she captured it "Yes, I caught a Sandshrew." She said "Pichu, pichu." Chuot Dien said "You were wonderful Seel, now take a good rest." She said returning it back into its pokeball. Ash stared at her with his mouth hanging wide open "There, I just proved to you that I can capture a Pokemon." Anaya said "Yeah, if I had a Pokemon that would listen to me I could capture Pokemon too." Ash said crossing his arms "Too bad you don't have one." Anaya said pushing Ash's buttons making him grunt
"So, how many Pokemon have you captured?" Ash asked "How many? Hmm, let's see. I first caught Seel, then I caught in another town, one in the forest, and now this one. Counting all I've got four." Anaya said "What, four?" Ash exclaimed not sure if he believed her "And counting Chuot Dien, I have five pokemon." Anaya said, "How in the world do you do it?" Ash questioned "That's for me to know and for you to never find out." Anaya said placing her pokeball into her bookbag then slung it over her shoulders "Come on Chuot Dien we've spent enough time around these losers." Anaya said as she walked away "Pichu." Chuot Dien said hopping onto Anaya's shoulder "Hey, where are you going?" Ash questioned
"I've got places to go, people to beat, and Pokemon to train. Good luck and miss me." Anaya said, "Oh like that will ever happen!" Ash yelled as she walked away "Pika." Pikachu said as it watch Anaya walk away, though Ash or Anaya didn't see it, Pikachu saw Chuot Dien turn around and said "Piiii-chu." While giving Pikachu a Japanese Raspberry "Piii-kaaaaa." It said with electricity sparking from its cheeks looking angry, Ash grunted as he watched her disappear from view "She's really irritating." He said as more Pidgeys cooed
Ash sees a few Pidgeys in the tall grass nearby. He pick up a rock and throws it but misses them scaring the Pidgeys away "Aw man." He said in disappointment when he saw a silhouette of another Pokemon, he picked up another rock "I'll get you this time." He said throwing the rock and hitting it in the head "I got it!" He exclaimed happily as the Pokemon turned its head around not looking happy it was hit one bit. The Pokemon was another small brown avian Pokemon. But it had a rough brown plumage on its head with a short-hooked beak.
Its underside was beige with two thin strips, its light pink feet had three talons and its wings were a pinkish red that was lighter around the edges. Its back was black, and it had three brown tail feathers. "I wonder what pokemon that is." Ash questioned taking out his Pokedex "Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokemon. Unlike Pidgey, Spearow has a terrible attitude. It's very wild and will attack humans and Pokemon for no reason." The Pokedex said freaking Ash out; The Spearow tries to attack Ash but luckily, he ducked down in time. It attacked Ash a couple of times when it spotted Pikachu in the tree then started targeting it.
Pikachu dodged the Spearow's attack then ran closer to the trunk of the tree hoping it would protect it "Hey, why are you attacking Pikachu?! It wasn't the one who threw the rock!" Ash shouted "Wild Pokemon tend to be jealous of human trained Pokemon." The Pokedex said "Seriously!" Ash exclaimed as the Spearow still tormented Pikachu, when it swooped in again it made Pikachu fall from the branch it was sitting on, but with quick reflexes it grabbed the branch in time before it fell to the ground "Pikachu!" Ash shouted as Pikachu attacked it with a thunder shock, which hit the Spearow and made it fall to the ground.
"Whoa, nice shot." Ash said as the Spearow stood up and shouted "Spearow!" As it called for reinforcement and a flock of Spearows appeared and start flying towards Ash and Pikachu "Uh, should we run for our lives?" Ash questioned "Pikachu." Pikachu said agreeing with and took off with Ash. The two ran as fast as they could but the Spearow was always right behind them "Don't worry Pikachu! No matter what happens, I'll protect you!" Ash said when Pikachu started to speed up "Hey don't run ahead! I said I'll protect -ow-!" Ash said as a Spearow knocked him in the head Pikachu was then bombarded by Spearows
"Leave Pikachu alone!" Ash shouted as Pikachu collapsed "Pikachu!" Ash shouted running up to it, Ash picked Pikachu up and kept on running until they come to a cliff in which had a waterfall "Oh great, now what?" He questioned then looked back at the Spearows "Well, it's all or nothing." Ash said and jumped into the water which made him float downstream. A little way down a girl, with orange hair that was tied into a side ponytail, sat on the river bank with a fishing rod in her hands. She wore red suspenders with a yellow tank top that was basically showing her whole midriff.
She had on high waisted blue denim shorts and red and yellow sneakers. Her line started to bubble causing her to draw her attention to it. It went under water then started to pull away from her "Yes, I gotta bite!" She said happily as she tried to pull it out, but it was giving the girl a pretty good fight "Wow! I think this could be a big one!" She said and pulled the line as hard as she could pulling Ash and Pikachu out of the water "What? I caught a kid?" She exclaimed when she noticed Ash holding Pikachu "Oh, and a Pokemon!" She said walking up to Ash
"Oh, are you okay?" She asked "Yes, I'm ok." Ash said "Not you, that Pokemon you're holding, look what you've done to that poor thing! Is it breathing?" She asked, "I think so." Ash said "Well just don't sit there, it needs help! There's a Medical Center not too far from here so get going already!" The girl said, "You mean like a hospital?" Ash asked "Yes, for Pokemon." She said, "Can you tell me which way it is?" Ash asked her "It's that way." She said pointing towards the direction as suddenly Ash sees the Spearows coming back towards them "They're back! Quick, get away!" He said as he took the girl's bike and placed Pikachu in the basket
"Hey, what do you think you are you doing?" She asked as Ash got on it "I'm borrowing this." He said just before he took off "Hey, that's my bike!" The girl shouted at him "I promise I'll give it back to you someday." Ash shouted back as he pedaled off "Hey, give me back my bike." The girl shouted and tried to follow him but vanished all too soon, Ash pedaled as fast as he could but soon the Spearows caught up as thunder and light was heard in the distance, but Ash still kept Pedaling "Pikachu." Pikachu said weakly
"Just hang on Pikachu!" Ash said as a storm began pouring overhead "We're almost there!" He said when the flock of Spearow started attacking Ash which distracted him from seeing the hill and caused him to lose his balance, he crashes the bike and both he and Pikachu went flying. When Ash opened his eyes, he saw Pikachu lying a few feet away from him "Pikachu!" He shouted, he crawled over towards it "Chu." Pikachu said weakly as Ash placed his hand on it "No, Pikachu, stay strong." Ash said as the sound of lightning echoed through the sky Ash took out Pikachu's pokeball
"Pikachu, please get inside." Ash said as he pressed the button on the pokeball making it bigger "I know you hate going in there, but maybe I can save you if you're inside. And after that...after that...Oh, just trust me Pikachu." Ash said then sat the pokeball down in front of Pikachu "Pika." It said "I am Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, I am destined to become the greatest Pokemon Master in the world, and I will not be defeated by the likes of you, and I will not let you hurt my friend anymore. So, if you want Pikachu, then you'll have to go through me." Ash said holding his arms out guarding Pikachu
"Pi-ka-chu." Pikachu said confused "Don't worry about me Pikachu just get inside your pokeball." Ash said Pikachu just stared at Ash in shocked as he thought "I now see it, I now understand what that Pichu meant. I never really saw the true power of humans until now." As Ash grunted "Come and get me." He shouted as the Spearows came swooping in to attack Ash Pikachu, then used all its remaining strength, climbs up Ash, and jumps out at the Spearow all the while thinking "People and Pokemon do have one thing in common. We are all different."
Pikachu is then hit by a lightning bolt from the storm above and causes a massive explosion "P-I-K-A-C-H-U!" Pikachu shouted releasing a Thunderbolt! When Pikachu and Ash woke up next to each other the rain had stopped, and the sun was shining. "Well, we beat 'em." Ash said "Chu." Pikachu said agreeing as it nodded its head, when suddenly a golden bird flew over their heads "What Pokemon was that?" Ash asked "There is no data. There are still Pokemon yet to be identified." The Pokedex said
Ash gasped "Pokemon yet to be identified. I hope we get to see it again." He said then looked down at Pikachu and smiled "But first thing's first. Let's get you to that Medical Center." Ash said while picking Pikachu up then headed out once they climbed to the top of a hill they could see Viridian City not far, as looked upon it with excitement as Pikachu licked Ash's face. He smiled down at the pokemon who was now a part of him then walked down to Viridian City.
