Chapter 1

Ash sighed as he read through the book that he had been given on trainer tips. No where did it tell him what to do in a situation that his Pokemon would not listen to him.

You see, Ash had gotten up late that morning, and, as such, didn't get one of the usual starting pokemon.

No, Ash got a Pikachu that wouldn't listen to anyone. His mom hadn't been any help in this situation. She had just proclaimed how cute the Pikachu was before giving him some pink rubber gloves in order to stop the thundershocks from hitting him.

"Okay," Ash said as he tried something. "I know that we have our differences, and, like it or not, we're partners now. I know that you know that as well as I do."

The Pikachu just looked over at him for a few seconds before staring off into space.

Ash put on the rubber gloves and made Pikachu look him in the face.

Pikachu tried to get away, but Ash overpowered his small body any day.

"Look at me," Ash commanded.

Pikachu didn't have a choice and just followed the command and stared blankly up into Ash's face.

"I don't know why you are acting like this, and I don't really care." Ash said.

Pikachu gave a startled cry at that, whatever he was expecting that certainly wasn't it.

"If it's that you doubt your power and your abilities, read this." Ash commanded.

With that, Ash took out his pokedex and used it on Pikachu.

Pikachu squirmed a bit under it before he finally settled down.

"Look, this is how powerful that you could become. I don't know what your problem is, but get over it if you want to be stronger!" Ash yelled at the Pikachu.

Pikachu just looked up at its owner, as it had come to accept, in shock at how powerful it could become. Then, its thoughts took a darker turn.

"And, before you start thinking that I knew all of this when I got you, do you see any other Pokemon's data in there?" Ash questioned.

Pikachu said, "pika," while shaking his head no.

Ash nodded. "Exactly, you have to have the pokemon before you can get all of this information. I chose you before I even knew that you had this potential, true, I guessed at your base moves, but, everything else was a mystery."

"Now, Pikachu, answer me this." Ash commanded.

Pikachu looked back up at its owner.

"Do you want to learn these and become powerful?" Ash asked.

Pikachu nodded his head ecstatically, knowing that this trainer could do it just through how he was handled.

"Do you want me to make you this powerful?" Ash asked.

Pikachu shook his head yes more frantically.

"Good, welcome to the family, Pikachu." Ash said as he took off his rubber gloves.

Pikachu just looked at the vulnerable hand that his trainer had out and shook it.

Ash thought quickly for a moment before writing something down.

Pikachu leaned over his shoulder and looked.

The paper's title was Pokemon and why they don't bond with trainers.

Pikachu looked down and saw that there was already some writing on it.

Pokemon do not immediately bond with trainers. This is a known fact of life that is known by many trainers. However, no one knows why they won't bond immediately to the trainer. This is the unknown. I believe that Pokemon do not bond with owners for three different reasons. The first is that they do not trust the owner. This is more common with Pokemon that have not lived with humans or have been neglected or abused by their previous owners. The second is that they do not respect their owner. This is common among Pokemon that are more haughty and believe that they are powerful. The third and last reason is that they do not believe that their owner can make them powerful. Many of the readers are thinking that this is the same as the second. Get this through your head, it isn't. Pokemon can respect their owners and leave if they are not getting powerful enough. They think that others can make them more powerful.

The first one is the hardest to fix. The only thing that will fix it is time. It is much like an abused child. They will not trust easy. Do not try and force yourself onto that Pokemon. The Pokemon will most likely lash out, as many abused Pokemon do. The second one is one that is really easy to fix. If it is a strong type, then prove your strength to it. Don't leave any doubts in its head about who is stronger. If you do, the Pokemon will continually challenge you. This has proved fatal in some cases. If it is not a strong type, then do what you are supposed to do with a Pokemon. Feed it and train it. This will cause the Pokemon to think of you as a friend, and that will make the Pokemon respect you. The third type is the easiest to fix out of all the others. All you need to do is prove that you can get it strong. How you go about it is your choice. I just got a Pokemon that wouldn't listen to me. Not because it didn't respect me or was abused, but because it didn't trust that I would be able to make it strong. I forced it to read its Pokemon entry and changed its thought processes.

Thesis on Pokemon behavioral patterns at the catching stage by Ash Ketchum

Ash saw Pikachu looking over his shoulder at the paper and reading it.

"So, what do you think of it?" Ash asked.

Pikachu just thought for a moment before nodding its head in approval.

"Do you want me to take out the parts that have you mentioned, even if it doesn't have your name?" Ash asked.

Pikachu shook his head and made a go ahead motion with his front paw.

Ash just laughed. "I don't think that I've ever seen a Pokemon like you before." Ash said.

Pikachu just puffed out his chest proudly.

Ash sweatdropped at the sight.

"Hey, Professor Oak," Ash said as he came back to the lab.

"What is it, Ash?" Oak sighed.

"I was just wanting to turn in my Pokemon thesis." Ash said.

Oak looked startled at that.

"A thesis?" Oak asked.

Ash handed it in.

Oak looked it over and noticed that it hit directly on what he could never discover.

"This is amazing, Ash! With this piece of information, you have just revolutionized the world of Pokemon!" Oak said.

He was practically dancing around the room in an excitement. To think, the one piece of information that had evaded him for so long was now in his sights, even if it wasn't by him.

"I need to get this to the others immediately!" Oak called out before rushing out.

"Wait, Professor, who's going to look after your lab?" Ash called out.

"I trust that you'll be able to deal with the Pokemon in there. My notes are on the table. If you do a good job, you'll get an extremely nice award." Oak called out.

Ash just sighed, knowing that the professor was like that.

"Okay, let's look at his notes and see what we have here." Ash said.

Pikachu nodded and hopped up next to him so that it could read, too.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay, according to his notes, Rhyhorn needs to be fed and taken care of first so that it doesn't go on a rampage." Ash said as he looked at the notes.

The two of them then went to take care of the Rhyhorn.

'We need to make sure that there is enough food for all of them so that they don't fight each other.' Ash thought.

Ash then got an idea.

Ash put the pen up that the Rhyhorns were inside of.

That caused a bit of a growling response, but nothing major.

Ash looked and counted how many Rhyhorns were there before finally calling out to Pikachu, "I'll need twenty-eight food bowls for the Rhyhorns."

He heard a brief "Pika" from his partner before Pikachu rushed into the area.

He looked back and gawked as he saw Pikachu balancing out twenty of the twenty eight bowls.

"I get it! You want to turn this into training for both of us!" Ash exclaimed.

Pikachu nodded.

Ash then got an idea.

"Okay, I'm going to start pouring them food. I want you to be back here with the rest of the bowls by the time that I finish pouring the first bowl. Think of it as training to get more use out of quick attack." Ash suggested.

Pikachu rushed out of the room as fast as he could while Ash started pouring the first Rhyhorn a bowl.

Pikachu came back within fifteen seconds with all eight of the bowls with him.

"Great work, we're going to need to get up the speed a bit, maybe increase some weight so it has more impact, also, let's work on strength some as well as agility. These seem to be the most important aspects with the attacks." Ash said.

Pikachu just took the suggestions in stride and nodded.

With that, the two set to work filling to bowls of the Rhyhorn that were now looking at the food.

"Okay, it says that after we get the food, we should use the hooks over there to maneuver the Rhyhorn. This will be our strength training." Ash said.

Pikachu nodded and took the first hook.

Ash just got the second and started maneuvering the Rhyhorn that he spotted were going for the same bowl. He placed one Rhyhorn at a bowl that was spaced twenty feet away.

Ash looked up to see how Pikachu was doing and noticed that he was struggling, but getting the job done.

By the time that the Rhyhorn had finished their meal and went back into their pen, the two partners were soaked in sweat from the effort.

"Okay, what's next on the list?" Ash asked Pikachu.

Pikachu just pointed to the right.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After feeding all of the Pokemon and still having a few hours until he needed to take care of the sleeping arrangements for the Pokemon, Ash and Pikachu were ready to train as hard as they could.

"Okay, the first thing that we are going to do is train up your moves and then learn thunder punch. I was originally going to teach you something else, but I think that thunder punch will be worth it." Ash said.

"Okay, do you see those targets?" Ash asked Pikachu.

Pikachu nodded.

"I want you to rush each and every one of them, not stopping in between, that is what your quick attack will be." Ash commanded.

Pikachu got started on the training for the quick attack while Ash looked at thunder punch.

'Okay,' Ash thought, 'we should be able to get thunder punch down since all Pikachu has to do is learn how to push his discharge into his fist and use it. He already knows how to send it to one spot, since that's what his thundershock is.'

Ash nodded and started devising a plan for Pikachu to learn Thunder punch.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It had been two weeks since that point, and Professor Oak called.

"Good morning, Ash, I trust everything has went smoothly." Oak said.

"Yeah, I had to catch a Rhyhorn, Totodile, Munna, Venipede, Gothita, cyndaquil, chikorita, Larvitar, Elekid, Treeko, Ralts, Skitty, Aron, Roselia, Trapinch, Feebas, Beldum, Bagon, Shuppet, Absol, Spheal, multiple Burmys, Combee, Bunneary, Finneon, Gible, Ponyta, Meowth, Ekans, Mankey, Dratini, a few Eevee, and Charmander, but, other than that, it was fine." Ash replied.

"Why so many of them?" Oak frowned.

"They thought that since you were away, they didn't have to listen to me." Ash replied while thumbing at a scar that he now had.

Oak noticed the action and thought that he would have to give something extra to Ash as payment since he got hurt.

"Okay, I presented your idea, and they all enjoyed listening to it. They also agreed that, as that was the only area that we have never discovered, you should get a researchers permit." Oak said.

Ash whooped in glee.

"However, as you are so young, we agree that we should put some stipulations on the researcher permit. You can still check out books and documentaries, but, you can only check out a certain number each month. Also, you need to learn more about how to breed and respond to Pokemon, so, the daycares and rangers are going to be helping you." Oak said.

Ash deflated a bit but understood what Oak was saying.

"However, you still get the perks of having the limit for Pokemon trainers be removed, meaning you can own more than six Pokemon, and an upgrade to your Pokedex. However, I will also be giving you a few things." Oak stated.

"I will be there in a couple of days." Oak said.

That was when the babies started crying in the nursery.

Ash twitched before rushing in there with Pikachu.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ash wasn't the only one that had grown in the past two weeks, Pikachu had buffed up with his training regimen, he had also gotten faster and his quick attack was extremely fast.

He had learned thunder punch sooner than scheduled, and he had taken it a step further and learned thunderbolt as well as volt tackle, charge, and slam.

Pikachu was able to use all of them extremely well and he had been proud of that accomplishment.

Ash had been waiting on Oak to see if he should have his other Pokemon learn moves because he wanted to know if he should keep them.

Whether he did or didn't, Pikachu had learned that the Pokemon would follow Ash.

Pikachu was proud of his fellow Pokemon for their choice in the matter.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Oak had finally come back.

He walked into the room and sighed at how good it was to be back. He briefly listened and realized the place was completely silent.

Where had all the sounds of the angry Rhyhorns or even the babies wailings gone.

Oak rushed down stairs fearing the worst, only to see that Ash was herding the Rhyhorns and Pikachu was keeping the babies silent.

"Hey professor Oak!" Ash called to him.

Oak just chuckled and wondered why he had never thought of using Pokemon to help him.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Okay as promised, here is the upgrade to your Pokedex and your researcher liscense." Oak said as he handed Ash the two things.

"Also, follow me." Oak commanded.

Ash just blinked as he and Pikachu shrugged before following the direction.

"Here is a very special and secret room. I call it the ball room!" Oak loudly proclaimed.

"What is this?" Ash asked at seeing all of the Pokeballs.

"An assortment of every different Pokeball that exists today and has existed. I'm giving you five each." Oak said as he pushed a lever on each of the machines and five balls came out of each and every one.

"From regular to master, from dusk to net, from blue to luxury, and from heal to ultra, all of the balls that you can name exist in here." Oak said.

"Why do you have all of these?" Ash asked.

"Remember, I am a Pokemon researcher of the relationship between Pokemon and humans. That means that I also research what Pokeballs do to Pokemon and how it affects them." Oak explained.

"Thanks for the gift, professor!" Ash cheered.

"This is only one, for your good job and the fact that you got injured taking care of my mess, you get more than this." Oak explained.

"How did you know about that?" Ash asked.

"Because I saw the way that you held a certain spot. Let me see it." Oak commanded.

Ash pulled off his shirt.

"Why didn't you stop when you got this?" Oak asked, fingers circling the horn shaped wound.

"I made a promise and I keep it. I couldn't have let the Pokemon down." Ash said quietly.

Oak sighed.

"If you had went to a Pokemon center, there wouldn't be a scar, but, since you didn't this will not heal." Oak said.

Ash nodded, he had already figured that out.

"I'm going to get the rest of the gifts from the other professors." Oak said.

"Stay right there." He then commanded.

Oak came back with a huge trunk.

"From elm, you have some eggs. From Birch, you have a variety of items like berries and other items that will help your pokeomn. From Rowan, you have tons of different evolutionary items or suspected evolutionary items. From Juniper, you have many items including books. From Hastings, you have a variety of tools that will make Pokemon like you more, including beauty supplies. From Fuji, you have genetics books. From Lund, you have many different books on Pokemon origins and Deoxys. From Akibahara, you have books on Pokemon storage and the system. From Ivy, you have an egg and a flute. And finally, from Berlitz, you have legendary mythology and two eggs." Oak stated.

Ash just whistled at that.

"Thanks, professor, I'll be sure to take care of all of this stuff." Ash said.

He started walking away only to be called back by Oak, "I never gave you anymore of my presents. Here are some eggs, as well as contact information to several big leagues. Also, take very good care of this egg." Oak then handed him a strange looking egg with the others.

"I'll also let you keep the pokemon that you have already earned and give you this." Oak said as he pulled out a strange looking shot.

"What does that do?" Ash asked.

He was a little afraid of shots.

"It lets you understand the pokemon that you have an attachment to. It also lets you speak to them." He added.

Ash then passed out from sheer joy.

Oak groaned. That didn't go as he had planned.
