this is my first fanfic, so tell me what you think! Unlike some fanfics, this is NOT a love story, it does have a little self insertion though.
Everyone loves the beach, in fact the beach is where today's adventure lies. And our heroes are sitting back, relaxing, and trying to soak up some rays. "I don't know guys" says Ash, "shouldn't I be training for the Pokemon league?" Brock and Misty looked at each other and laughed. "I don't know what makes me laugh More, the fact that you, Ash Ketchum, don't want to go to the beach, or that you want to actually work!" Said Misty. "Pika pika chu?" said pikachu. Ash smiled and said "ok pikachu! Were going to the beach!" "Pika!" replied pikachu enthusiastically.
All of a sudden Ash calls out "it's not fair to have fun and just let my Pokemon stay cooped up in their pokeballs. Bulbasaur! Squirtle! Pidgeot! … Charizard!" Just as Ash was about to release Charizard, Misty grabbed his arm to stop him. "What do you think your doing?!?" she yelled. "I was letting Charizard out so it could have some fun" replied Ash hesitantly. "Think about what your doing for a second Ash!" said Misty. Ash thought first about back when it was Charmander and how it was so obedient and loyal, his thoughts then traveled to the event when Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. He thought about how it didn't listen to him then, and how it had let him down when he was fighting areodactle, and how it had cost him the pokemon league championship after it evolved into charizard. Misty let go of his arm and he put charizards pokeball back on his belt. "Thank you Misty, I almost made a horrible mistake." Said Ash.
Pikachu yelled from across the beach "Pika Pika chu!!!" Ash turned and saw pikachu riding on squirtle's back. Ash yelled, "look! Pikachu is taming some gnarly waves!" Brock looked at him "does anyone say 'gnarly' any more?" Ash ignored him and ran as fast as he could to the water. "Cowabunga!" Misty turned to Brock and said, "he'll never learn" Brock nodded. Then he slowly turned his head as he saw a girl walk by. "She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.." Brock said in a funny voice, his face turned all red.
Misty let her pokemon out as Ash and pikachu had begun to build a sandcastle at the waters edge, they were taking turns carrying buckets of sand to the site. Ash patted the growing mound of sand and said "this will be the best and biggest sandcastle ever, wont it pikachu?" "Pika pi!" replied pikachu. Ash began shaping the sides of the huge mound, while pikachu started digging a moat for the castle. Squirtle joined in and helped shape the towers and filled the moat with is water gun. Pidgeot was making trips to get sand from the waters edge with Bulbasaur. Before long, there was a large elaborate sandcastle standing proudly on the beach. Ash and pikachu high-fived each other , the castle was finished. Everyone who worked on it cheered.
Then pikachu got up and ran towards Misty and Brock. Brock was still swooning over that girl he had seen earlier who was at the edge of the fountain letting her water pokemon, a Wartortle, swim around. Ash got up and said, "I might still be able to train for the pokemon league!" He ran towards the girl at the fountain. "Are you a pokemon trainer?" he asked her. "Why yes, I certainly am" she replied. Then Ash declared "I am Ash Ketchum from the town of pallet, I am destined to be a great pokemon master, I challenge you to a battle!" "Who am I to turn down a challenge? I accept" she replied.
" We will use three pokemon each" she called. "Wait a minute," yelled Misty, "you haven't even told us your name yet" "I must have forgotten to introduce myself, I am Sandy from vermilion city" she said. "Okay, enough with the introductions!" called Brock, "on with the battle!" Ash looks at pikachu and says "go pikachu" while Sandy turns back to the fountain where her pokemon have been swimming, and she calls out her pokemon, "go! Pikawhoo!" "Pikawhoo?" asks Ash, and he holds out his pokedex expecting to see a rare pokemon, instead he sees a pikachu, while Dexter analyzes "Pikachu, the electric mouse pokemon, Some trainers like to give their pokemon nicknames, 'Pikawhoo' is apparently pikachu's nickname." Sandy looks around trying to size up her opponent, and she sees Togepi she grabs her pokedex "a Togepi!" she says in a shocked voice. "Togepi, the egg pokemon, little is known about how this pokemon lives." Sandy then snaps out of her amazement and calls "Pikawhoo! Agility!" while Ash yells "pikachu! Double team attack!" both pikachus look confused, as they are both using speed attacks. Ash takes the opportunity and yells "pikachu! Slam attack!" pikachu hurls itself through the air and smacks into Pikawhoo, who promptly faints. Sandy runs out and carries Pikawhoo back to the fountain.
"Butterfree! Go! Use your confusion attack!" she yells and throws the pokeball. "I didn't know Butterfree had a psychic attack…" said Ash. Pikachu looked scared and confused, "good work Butterfree! Now tackle it!" yelled Sandy. The Butterfree zoomed past Ash and swooped down to tackle pikachu and ash yelled "pikachu! Watch out!" somehow, pikachu snapped out of its daze and ran out of the way at the last second. "Good job pikachu! Now give it a thunderbolt attack!" pikachu began to glow as the electricity flowed through its body, pikachu unleashed the powerful electric blast "pika…. CHU!!!!" Sandy ran and caught Butterfree as it fell. She then called out "it's risky but…. Go! Pokeball!" she hurled a pokeball through the air and none other than a charizard popped out. "A charizard! Pikachu, thunder attack!" Ash yelled. Pikachu began to glow again as it unleashed the most powerful electric attack. Charizard tried to dodge the attack but failed and at the last second it created a heat shield and was unaffected by the electric shock. "Good job charizard! Now fire spin!" Sandy yelled.
Ash quickly called pikachu back and sent Squirtle instead "Squirtle! Bubblebeam!" charizard countered with flamethrower and Squirtle fainted. Charizard blew fire out of its mouth triumphantly. Ash took out a pokeball and said, I know I shouldn't use you in this battle, but…Charizard! Go!" charizard was about to go to sleep until it saw its opponent and got all excited. "Charizard! Fire blast!" yelled Ash. Sandy's charizard got out of the way, but looked dazed. "Charizard! Skull bash now!" Ash yelled. The other charizard slumped over and fell down in pain as it was just head butted in the stomach. "Charizard! Return" Sandy returned charizard to its pokeball and ash called charizard back. No sooner did Ash grab the pokeball, charizard did a flamethrower attack and burned Ash. Sandy walked up to Ash and shook his hand, "good match" she said.
Ash asked her "how did you get your charizard to be so obedient? Mine wont listen to a word I say" She reached into her backpack and pulled out a blue bottle. "I used this" she replied. "What is it?" Brock asked. "Its de-evolution spray, its for trainers who don't want their pokemon to evolve or cant handle their evolved forms" she explained. "How does it work?" asked Ash. "Just spray it on the pokemon and they'll go down an evolution. After that you can raise their level and your own and they'll respect you. You can get them to evolve again with this antidote" she handed Ash the antidote. "This is my gift to you since you defeated me." Ash looked at Sandy, then at pikachu, pikachu knew what he was thinking and gave its support by nodding "pika, pika." "Well then its settled." Said Ash, "it can't hurt charizard if it's reversible."
Ash looked at the blue bottle and took out charizards pokeball. "Here goes…" he said nervously. "Charizard! I choose you!" charizard was in the middle of a nap and woke up with a snort as if to say: 'your not gonna try to make me battle again are you? You know that's a stupid idea.' Ash walked up to charizard and said, "don't worry, this wont hurt." He carefully sprayed the liquid from the blue bottle on charizard. Charizard jumped as it began to shrink, it looked at Ash like: 'what are you doing?!?' before long, Ash had a Charmander sitting in front of him, it looked dazed. "Char, charm? Mander?" said Charmander. Pikachu walked up to Charmander and talked to it "pika pika chu?" "Char, char mander charm" was charmander's response. Pikachu went over to Ash and tried to explain what Charmander had said. "Pika, pika, chu" pikachu said. Ash seemed to understand. He turned to Misty and Brock and said "when Charmander evolved, it wasn't ready, it was sucked into an abyss of foreign thoughts and didn't know what to feel. It took out its aggressions on me for some reason and wouldn't obey me. Charmander says it is prepared this time and it won't go wrong again." Misty and Brock looked at each other "I didn't know Ash knew such big words." Misty said, Brock shook his head.
"well, here we go Charmander, ready to evolve?" Charmander nodded, affirmative. Ash sprayed the antidote on Charmander and it began to grow, it evolved into Charmeleon! "Are you still with us Charmeleon?" asked Ash. "Char, Charmeleon" replied Charmeleon, which meant yes. "Okay, ready to become charizard?" Charmeleon nodded. Ash sprayed some more of the antidote on Charmeleon, and it started growing again, wings sprouted out of its back and it doubled in size. "Okay charizard, are you still you?" asked Ash. "Char!" was its response as it went up and hugged Ash. "Hey! Cut it out, you're smothering me!" Yelled Ash. Misty laughed, Togepi woke up and cried, "togei togei pri!" "Now look what you did Ash! You've gone and woke up Togepi!" yelled Misty.
Brock was busy talking to Sandy about pokemon, "what kind of food do you feed them?" he was asking her. She replied, "it's my own secret recipe, but I'll tell you that all the ingredients are naturally made and processed. I won't let them eat any less than the best." "That's cool, so, tell me where you heard about the de-evolution spray." Brock said. "My grandpa invented it, my family is planning to market it next year since we don't have enough to sell now, it takes 3 years to develop the formula. So it wouldn't surprise me if it was expensive when it hits the market." Replied Sandy. Brock nodded, there seemed to be something else on his mind. Something was distracting him, whatever he was thinking, he was interrupted by a familiar event.
"Prepare for trouble!" "And make it double!" Team rocket was in their balloon yelling at them, "To protect the world from devastation!" "To unite all peoples within our nation" "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" "To extend our reach to the stars above!" "Jessie!" "James!" "Team rocket blast off at the speed of light! Surrender now or prepare to fight!" Ash smacked his head with his hand and groaned, "aww, not them again!" "Yeah, that's right twerp! We're here to take your pikachu!" yelled Jessie. "Go! Charizard! Use your aerial attack!" charizard flew up in the air and smashed team rocket's balloon. "Good job charizard!" yelled Ash. Team rocket fell from the balloon to the ground, they let out their pokemon, "Go! Arbok!" "Go! Weezing!" pikachu and Pikawhoo walked up to face their opponents. Ash and Sandy yelled at the same time, "Thunder bolt attack!" both pikachus glowed as they shocked Arbok and Weezing, who fell to the ground, paralyzed. The pikachus gave one final shock and Team rocket flew up In the air, "looks like team rocket is blasting off again!…."
pikachu and Pikawhoo looked exhausted, so Ash and Sandy decided to bring them to the pokemon center. "Hey, nurse Joy!" Ash greeted the nurse. "Hello Ash" the nurse replied pleasantly. "Oh, you have some mail here" Nurse Joy handed Ash a small bundle of letters and a package. Ash thanked Nurse Joy and opened the first letter. It was a letter from a professor Hamilton, from Crimson Island. The letter read 'dear trainer, as you know, you have placed in the top sixteen in the pokemon league competition. We have heard of your achievements, and we are inviting you to a celebration to commemorate your victories at the pokemon league. You may or may ` not wish to attend, that is beyond our control, present this invitation at the door of the Crimson Island coliseum should you wish to attend, you may bring a maximum of 2 people to accompany you. We await your arrival. Thank you, signed Professor Hamilton and company.' "Well" says Ash, "you guys wanna go?" "Its up to you" replied Misty. "Pika, pikapika chu!" said pikachu "oops, better read my other mail first" says Ash. He opens his second letter, it's from Richie. It reads: 'dear Ash, how are you coming along on your pokemon journey? Mine's going great, my Tentacool just evolved into Tentacruel, isn't that cool? Remember our promise, we will become pokemon masters, no matter what! I'll come and visit you sometime, ok? Signed Richie.' Ash was happy to get a letter from his friend "that was nice of him to send me a letter" said Ash. He quickly wrote a reply letter describing their adventures and Crimson Island. Now it was time to open the package. Ash opened it and gasped.
It had been from his mother, Misty peeked at what was in the box and laughed, "all that fuss over some new underwear!" she was cracking up and banging her fists against the table. After everyone stopped laughing, Nurse Joy called Sandy to the counter, "you have a letter too." Sandy opened it and found it was also from Crimson Island, she hadn't been invited to the celebration, but she had been informed of a pokemon convention taking place there, she would be meeting a friend there. "I guess we'll be traveling together." said Sandy to Ash. "Yeah, I suppose so" said Ash. Our heroes have found a new friend, but who knows what the future has in store for them, what will happen on Crimson Island? Who is the mysterious professor Hamilton? All these questions will be answered in the next episode.
