The legend of Red
Summery: Okay here is how it works I am Taking Pokémon up I may up the rating cause I am aging Ash, and cutting out Black and White since the Anime calls him ten in the opening. Nothing against it but this is a Maturing Ash he has been in a pet peeve of mine. It has been in near six champion ships an Orange and battle frontier champion successfully trained around 30 Pokémon not including evolutions doubles and dealt with near every legendary Pokémon to date at least once as well. Ash will be around 16 years old in this story Misty will be 16, May will be 14 and Dawn will be 13. Ash will be a decent trained, no expert, but I will not need to be told which Pokémon do what against other and Pikachu will be the most grossly over powered thing on the planet cause of how many fights it has been in. Dumb Anime had the Pokemon taken out by a brand new grass Pokémon when this rat fought in the battle frontier even if it couldn't use electricity. All three female leads will appear and I will keep shipping a secret but Hint the hell out of all of them. Every Champion will be In it as well as Blue, Leaf, and other Gaming protagonists. Red is a Legend, Blue is the eighth gym Leader, and Leaf is an explore looking for new Pokémon. Pokémon fights will be hard bloody and I will try to make as intelligent as possible and strategy based as I can but don't expect much okay I am done let's do this.
Ash yawned, as he looked at his watch, it had been about two hours since lunch. His stomach grumbled in protest to that fact. Two months had passed since the Shinnoh League, and nothing new had happen Oak had gotten word of a new are arouse the Ocean but Ash wasn't really interested, he had around thirty Pokémon and he had hardly scratched the surface of the growing population in Kanto. Speaking of which the League was getting ready again he could go back around. His Mom probably wouldn't like that too much, since eighteen was the requirement to make money and she wanted him to get a Job and move on in his life. Ash snorted he was only sixteen, and once he was Eighteen he could make money winning tournaments and Leagues. Besides, until then the Center took care of any food and shelter you needed. Ash liked that he only place 16 when he was ten his first year besides he could always pay a visit to his old friends. With Brock becoming a Doctor and Misty still a Gym leader he hadn't seen them lately. Some many reasons to go so little to stay, taking a deep breath he decided to go see the professor in case the old timer needed something from him.
"Ash so good to see you how's the time off?" asked the Pokémon Professor. Ash gave a sheepish grin.
"Well I put on about ten pounds and my Mom wants me to get a job," Ash chuckled honestly.
"Now you know why your Father doesn't stick around he would die if he had to get a job," Oak chuckled. "You know your mother was really against me giving you your fist Pokémon. But your Father convinced her that he would stick around Pallet and stay with her if she let you go off and have fun," Oak laughed.
"Really?" asked Ash,
"Of course why do think I got all the new Pokémon information from?" asked Oak, "Put them in the devise whenever I feel like it I have a trainer who collect them and both send me any data they find. In fact most of what I have here is from him," Oak explained, "While I have many a Pokémon here I usually only hand Pokémon Trainer from Pallet town. The Government usually had many places to take care of Pokémon, similar to what I do but since I am a Professor I am qualified to look after them here, besides your Father only trust me to handle his Pokémon," Oak went on. "Now that I think about I haven't heard from him in almost a year now," Oak pondered aloud.
"Wow, you know Mom never talked about him much," said Ash a slight frown on his face.
"That's understandable she misses him terribly but since he is the only source of Income for your family he can't stay home for too long. Probably why she is pushing for you to get a job so much," Oak chuckled.
"Nice history lesson pops, it pains me to here you talk about him so much instead of your own son," said a voice as what looked like and exact replica of Gary walked into the lab.
"Ay yes this is my son Blue, Ash meet Blue, Gary's father, and recently the new leader of the eight gym here in Kanto. He is my pride and joy as a Father but as a professor I have many favorites," Professor Oak Chuckled.
"Nice to meet you," Ash smiled, as the two shook hands.
"Ah he specks already and Improvement over the original you be hard pressed to get more than a few words out of your father," Blue chuckled. "I heard you needed me to run another fetch quest for you," Blue acknowledged. Oak nodded as he walked over the tile floor to his computer,
"Yes are good friend Kurt, has recently E-mailed me. The man said it was urgent to send someone to pick up the GS ball," Oak explained.
"Yeah I remember that ball, Professor Ivy asked us to bring that back to you. I still can't believe they tried to use a hack saw on it," Ash remembered He was eleven than and even he questioned the doctors methods that day.
"Yes well after you dropped it of this the first time he informed anything to me about in about four years," Oak frowned "I normally would send Red for this but seeing as how he is missing Blue is my next best choice," Oak explained,
"Jee thanks for the support Dad," Blue snorted, "I understand why Red is the best, but man still hurts being called second best to your child hood Rival," Blue frowned.
"May I come along as well?" asked Ash "I may not be the best trainer in the world but I was the one who go the GS Ball there," Ash explained.
"I don't see a problem," said Oak, as he looked at his son.
"Fin but try to keep up and take your best Pokémon with you I Hear Team Rocket got back together and may be active again,"
"Were have you been Rockets been active for the past six years," Ash asked.
"Impossible, Red and Leaf took down the leader almost five year before you were born and Gold and Crystal to care of what was left two years after that. Team Rocket has been for almost 16 years until a new group of smocks started calling themselves team Rocket but as far as the government has informed the Leaders they were done, with only the occasional moron using the name," Blue Dismissed. Ash wanted to argue but he wanted to keep his travelling companion more, so he wisely shut up. Ash quickly opened up the PC and started to collect his team, Pikachu, Kingler, Bayleaf, Infernape, Swellow and Donphan. An all around team if he ever had one, Ash clasped the six onto his belt and Nodded. He dashed to his house and grabbed the fist hat he could The Expo hat, pulling it over his head and grabbed a blue long sleeve coat.
"Mom, I am going out with Blue Oak needed us to get something for him be back soon," Ash yelled as he ran back out the door.
Ash quickly met Blue at the start of route one, The two turned to look at the city a moment, "You know at one time this small town had about five buildings here now thanks to us this city is huge," Blue murmured, "Smell ya later Pallet town," Blue smiled as he turned and started walking.
"Smell ya later," Ash echoed in mocking tone. Blue gave a slight smirk,
"Old habit, very old Habit," Blue chuckled as he motioned to the road ahead of them. The two walked in silence as pidgey pecking at the ground and Rattata sniffed the area.
"I forgot how much life this place has," Ash commented "as well as the odd similarities most areas usually have the same type of Pokémon near their starting home town," Ash commented. Blue stroked his chin but didn't comment.
"Well we are here viridian city," Blue announced, "home to my gym and not much else," he admitted, as the quickly walked thru the city.
"I thought the leader was part of team Rocket?" said Ash as he looked at the older man.
"It been on and off, but after an investigation they shut it down for good and I took over," Blue explained
"Off and on?" asked Ash as he looked at the Gary look alike.
"Well the league is mostly in charge of who is considered a Gym leader. Usually a Nurse joy is sent in to test it. They could never get a hold of the man after a few years they asked me to be in charge temporally. After the old Leader came back he stayed for about five years, before disappearing again. So the League had enough and gave it to me permanently," Gary explained. Ash nodded,
"So are we taking a boat?" asked Ash,
"No I have to tickets; there is a train in saffron city we can take, but since it will take some time we have to head to take a little time around mount moon, and head south from there," Gary explained.
"When did they set that up?" asked Ash,
"Long before you started training it's just damn expensive to get a ticket," said Gary. "So first up is Pewter City," Blue announced as the two headed north.
The two Entered Viridian forest, as the sun started to set. Ash smirked as he looked around the place was littered with bug Pokémon. Ash sat down next to the fire and started to roast a hot dog. His partner in Crime Pikachu sat down next to him eating a rice ball. Gary grumbled under his breath as he fumbled with his tent.
"Need some help?" asked Ash, as he looked at the older trainer. Blue frowned as he kicked the tent as he unrolled a sleeping bag.
"Damn camping is for the Pidgey," Blue frowned; sitting down on large rock to look at the fire.
"Been a while?" asked Ash,
"Yeah, close to ten years," Blue admitted, "How Leaf can do this day in and day out I will never know," Blue admitted.
"Leaf?" asked Ash,
"An old friend of mind nothing more," Frowned Blue as he gave Ash a slight glare. Ash shrugged,
"You're a gym leader, right?" asked Ash, Blue nodded, "Well I am up for a battle before bead you up for it?" Ash Challenged. Blue got a wicked smile on his face, Ash seemed to regret his challenge already.
"Sure if you need a curb stomping that badly," Blue accepted. He went for a Poke ball on his belt as the two walked away from the fire.
"I will use one Pokémon, you beat it you win, heck I will even throw in my badge as well," Blue smirked.
"Confident aren't we?" asked Ash as he drew one as well.
"Come on out Charzard!" Blue announced as the biggest Charzard Ash had ever seen towered over him.
"That's a big Charzard," Ash admitted as he tossed his Poke ball releasing his Kingler.
"Your move," Blue smirked, not even fazed at the type disadvantage.
"bubble beam!" Ash announced Kingler shot out a fast stream.
"Charzard Fly," Blue ordered as the Pokémon shot skyward in a jet flames. The move missed by a mile, as the fire Pokémon hovered above them. Charzard dived down, as the crab Pokemon pulled right dodging the attack. Ash frowned this Charzard, was fast and Kingler wouldn't be able to keep up, for the long haul.
"Kingler, hydro pump," Ordered Ash as the crab started firing off bursts of water Blue didn't even have to speak the Pokémon dodged with no issues. The Charzard dived again as Kingler kept firing of consistent attacks. The Fire Pokémon weaved in and out as it closed in Ash braised himself, and waited, for the Pokémon to close in. "No Kingler Crab Hammer!" Ash ordered the water Attacks stopped and the giant Claw started to glow as the hammer descended.
"Pull right a dodge," blue ordered, the Charzard started to turn, "now follow it up with Slash!" Blue ordered, the fire Pokémon spun to the right dodging the attack by the skin, and clawed into the Kingler. The crab sailed into the dirt, then flipped from trying to stop itself crashing into the tree's from the force of the attack. The dust cleared and Kingler was out cold, Ash held up his Poke ball and a read stream called the Pokémon back, he smiled as he looked down at the red and white sphere.
"Good job," Ash smiled as put it back on his belt. "Donphan, come on out!" ordered Ash, "Start it out with roll out," Ash ordered the as the Pokémon started to spin as soon as it's feet hit the dirt. Blue frowned, as the attack roared fast at his Charzard.
"Charzard Fly back up into the sky," Blue ordered,
"Donphan cut it off," Ash ordered as the Pokémon Jumped "takedown!" The spinning stopped as the fire Pokémon rose up. The attack missed, Ash frowned, but noticed it took about five seconds for the Charzard to lift off. "The Pokémon is fast put at that size it takes time for it to move and change direction," Ash thought.
"Charzard, Fire blast!" Blue ordered
"Donphan dodge!" Ash shouted The blast scorched the ground, as the Pokémon moved out of the way. Ash frowned he didn't have anything on him that could fight the fire Pokémon in the air and match the same speed.
"Charzard, Fire spin!" Blue ordered as the area around the ground Pokémon started to burn. "Now use Slash!" Blue ordered and the Pokemon charged down at the trapped opponent. Ash watched as the Charzard quickly descended. Donphan pawed at the flames, when Ash shouted,
"Hyper beam!"
"Shit!" Blue muttered as the Ash's Donphan blasted a mass of energy hitting the Charzard in the chest. The fire Pokemon twisted smashing into the tree's as numerous wild Pokemon scattered, Blue returned his Pokemon. "Well that's surprising," Blue chuckled, as Ash's Donphan collapsed,
"Well that's that, you want to keep going?" Ash asked,
"No, It's late and if we continued we would have nothing to protect us, we can't finish this at a later date," Blue He released a Machamp. "Okay were going to sleep make sure nothing gets to close okay. Ash smirked satisfied as he returned Donphan,
"Good job," He smirked as he crawled into his sleeping bag.
Ash found himself standing in a large cave, and He looked ahead of him and on top of a small cliff stood a Trainer, his hat was twisted back and two Pokemon was in front of him. He could make them out but one looked like a four legged Giant with a large plant on its back, On his shoulder looked like a pointy eared Mouse and the man seemed to turn to see him. Ash's breath hitched he felt very small for some reason. The man didn't seem care he was being watched and returned his attention to his own.
Ash blinked as he woke back up the morning dew had set in. Blue was still sleeping and his Pokemon, had drifted off as well. The Machamp was resting against a now bent tree, Ash opened his back and took out a plastic bowl. Ash quickly poured out a bowl of cold rice and started eating,
"Good thing I learned my lesson when traveling with May, Always bring your own food," Ash smirked to himself. He finished the bowl of rice, and waited for Blue to finally wake up, The Leader finally got up he smacked his lips, before pulling out a bottle of water.
"Up already?" Blue asked, as he stretched,
"Been a while?" Ash asked a bemused smirk on his face,
"Oh shut up, we better get going, I am not looking forward to Mt. moon. So let's get moving,"
"What about breakfast?" Ash asked,
"Shit, I knew I forgot something," Blue cursed as Ash handed him a bowl. Blue glared at Ash as he took the bowl. "Wipe that grin of your face you punk," Blue frowned as Ash burst into a fit of laughter. Blue finished his meal and recalled his Pokémon and the two started off to Pewter.
