Horsing Around
Ash Ketchum had taken a month off of his Pokemon training and was now walking up the driveway of Willow Ponyta Stable. The truth was that Ash had used to ride Ponyta's when he had been younger, but when he had turned 10 and had became a Pokemon trainer he had given riding up. But, now Ash was back at the stable in Viridian City, but this time it wouldn't be just about riding. He would have to be a stable hand. Usually 13 year olds wouldn't work at a stable. The owners wouldn't let them, but Ash had been made to, when he had been training Pikachu his yellow mouse Pokemon it had done a Thunderbolt right at a Ponyta, that had been riding around in a field. Luckily it hadn't been hurt but its track that it had been wearing had been wreck. So now Ash was saving up money for some new track. And, it better be fast because the Ponyta would be going in a race at Viridian City Ponyta Race Track, it was a big race. And, it would be starting in only a few weeks. It shouldn't be any trouble but the track that Pikachu had wreaked had been the racing track it was going to use in the big race.
Now, Ash walked into the stable to me meted by the stable owner, Mr. Willow. Ash had known Mr Willow back at the days he had been riding, but since it had been three years since he had been here he didn't know how much Mr Willow had changed. "Oh hello Ash! You are finally here!" greeted Mr Willow has Ash walked up to the 30 year old. "Good morning Mr Willow." Mr. Willow smiled. "Well, it has been a while since I last saw you. I have heard that you have become a pretty strong Pokemon trainer." Ash nodded. "Yeah, I guess I have become pretty strong." Mr. Willow nodded. "Now, I guess we should get you to work, then." Ash nodded again. He was glad that the man was still has kind has he used to be. The truth was Ash had been afraid that Mr. Willow had changed. But he was glad that he hadn't. "So, what do you want me to do first?" asked Ash. He knew that the answer might be mucking out stalls. "Hmm, well, Ash, one thing is that it isn't going to be cleaning out stalls. But I was wondering if you could help track up a Ponyta." Ash nodded. He knew how to track up Ponyta's. "Okay, Mr Willow I can do that easy." Mr. Willow nodded and took him to a stall where a beautiful chestnut Ponyta was watching a girl that was 13 years old, who was shouting. "Oh come on! Where are the stable hands? I can't track up this beast by myself." Ash frowned. Beast? Why would she call it that? Mr Willow noticed the face on Ash's face, and whispered. "Oh, Rachel doesn't like to track up her own Ponyta." Ash nodded and walked up to the girl who had long brown hair and green eyes. "Oh hi! My name is Ash!" Rachel looked at the boy with her green eyes and whispered. "You are poor for sure. Look at your clothes." Ash looked down at his clothes. He was wearing the same clothes he wore while he was traving around the world trying to become a Pokemon trainer. Then he looked at Rachel. Just by looking at her, you would know she was rich. With those latest clothes it would be hard to miss that. "Oh, I think my clothes look okay." Rachel frowned. "Oh, well, if I was a boy I would faint if I was wearing those clothes." Ash knew that he would have to hold his temper on this girl. "Well, you are not wearing these clothes. So you shouldn't worry about it." Rachel sighed. She was disappointed that the boy hadn't snapped at her yet. "Well, enough about that. Now, track up Garnet!" Ash frowned. She could of said please. Ash turned around to talk to Mr Willow but he was gone. He would just have to track up the Ponyta. "Okay, I will have her all set up in a few minutes." Rachel frowned. "Just hurry up. I don't have all day." Ash sighed and started to track up Garnet and soon she was ready. "There you are Rachel!" Rachel sighed and went to class with the Ponyta without saying thanks. Ash knew that he didn't like her one bit. Well, I don't need to worry about her right now. And, with that Ash walked to Mr Willow's office to find him not here. Ash frowned. How am I suppose to know what to do next if I can't find Mr Willow? "If you are looking for Mr Willow he is teaching a private class," said a voice behind Ash. Ash turned around to see a girl with dark brown hair, it was past her shoulders. The girl also had dark blue eyes. "Um, who are you?" asked Ash looking at the girl again. She was quite pretty and she was around Ash's age. "Oh, my name is Lisa." Ash nodded. "My name is Ash Ketchum." Lisa smiled brightly. She seems a lot nicer than Rachel. Thought Ash. "So, are you a new rider?" Ash shook his head. "I used to ride a lot." Lisa frowned. "Why don't you now?" Ash sighed. "Well, I became a Pokemon trainer when I was ten years old and there was really no time for riding." Lisa nodded. "I understand perfectly." Ash was shock. "You do?" Lisa nodded. "Yeah, my mother makes me do all these things. Like playing the flute, sewing, tennis. The list goes on." Ash nodded and Lisa asked. "So why are you here now?" Ash sighed. "It's a long story. I kind of broke a Ponyta's track while my Pikachu was using its thunderbolt. So now, I have to work here and pay for the track." Lisa nodded and whispered. "Track can be dear." Ash sighed. "Yeah, I know. I used to have a Ponyta of my own when I was about eight years old. My mother would always tell me how dear the track was." Lisa smiled, "Well, are you going to do any riding while you are here?" Ash didn't know the answer to that. "I might. But I might not have enough time." Lisa nodded and asked. "Where's your Pokemon?" Ash smiled. "Oh they are with my friend Brock. Maybe you will meet him." Lisa smiled. "That would be super." Lisa then sighed and said. "I better go. By mother is waiting for me. It was nice meeting you." Ash nodded. "It was nice meeting you too." With that Lisa ran out of the room and Ash sighed and walked outside of the office to see Mr Willow walking up to him. "Ash, I have been looking for you everywhere." Ash was surprise. "I thought you had a private lesson." Mr Willow sighed. "I did. But that was before Rachel jumped Garnet to fast which nearly hurt Garnet's forelock. Ash grasped. "That's awful, Mr Willow!" Mr Willow nodded. "Yes, but to make it worst, Rachel won't cool Garnet down. This can make her legs even worst." Ash knew what was coming. "You want me to cool down, Garnet for you?" Mr Willow nodded. "Yeah, that's what I want you to do. You get to go on a horse again, Ash. But don't work her hard." Ash nodded. And, soon he had Garnet on the trail, Ash mounted Garnet. He had ridden Ponyta's a lot when he had been younger. But he hadn't been on horses for ages since then. So he knew he might be a bit unsteady. Ash kicked the Ponyta into a slow walk. Her walk was smooth. It was prefect for someone who didn't know how to ride. Ash was bit anger at Rachel for what she had done to Garnet. Garnet is a living creature she shouldn't be treated like this. Just then Ash heard a scream. "What in the world?" Ash asked himself startled. Just then, his mount, Garnet started to canter fast in fright. Ash holded onto a bit of the Garnet's mane. Ash knew that Ponyta's could be scared easily but not this easily. Just then to Ash's horror, the Ponyta started to rear high in the air. "Garnet stop!" yelled Ash, he was now scared. He had never had a Ponyta rear on him before. But he had seen what could happen on TV. I could die! Thought Ash, Ash quickly holded on to the reins and a lot more of Garnet's mane so he could hold on. Garnet started to rise even higher and Ash knew that he might fall off soon. Ash screamed, he didn't want to die. But there was nothing he could do. Ash could feel his grip slower getting loose. Just then it happen, Ash lost all grip and fell on the ground. He looked at the Ponyta before fainting in pain.
Authors Note: Hmm, Ash seems to have gotten himself in a bit of trouble at his first day back at the stable. Next chapter will have Brock, Pikachu and Ash's other Pokemon in it.
So if you want to find out what happens to Ash. wait for next chapter of Horsing Around!
By the way review!
