Chapter 1: Let's get this party started!

A/n: okay, I know he's getting new pokemon quickly but, for the record, it wasn't my intention to give him the other pokemon so soon. It happened though. Also the next chapter is going to be more Ash focused. I only used the scene about him as a time skip of sorts. Enjoy!

The spearow really liked his new trainer. He beat him in a battle himself so that alone earned his eternal respect. Then there was the fact he was putting up with that pikachu in that tree. It refused to come down and obey his trainer. Spearow was ready to give it a piece of his mind!

"Spearow, it's alright, pikachu will come around, got it memorized" Axel stated. This only fueled Spearow's anger as Axel was trying to get a pokemon that didn't deserve it to come around. Axel sighed as he took out the pokedex to find out what spearow knew.

"Spearow the tiny bird Pokemon. Unlike Pidgey, Spearow has a terrible attitude. It is very wild and will sometimes attack other Pokémon and humans. This spearow is male and knows the moves peck, aerial ace, rest, and sleep talk. It has the ability sniper and the egg moves sky attack, feint attack, quick attack, and feather dance. Note: only quick attack is available the res has yet to be unlocked" the pokedex stated.

"You were born in the wild?" Axel asked the spearow and he nodded. Well he had a good move set to work with, but the little bird did need more. Not to mention he needed more speed and strength.

"Well how about we battle a few pokemon to test your power spearow" Axel suggested. The little bird gave a cry of affirmation.

"Pika pikachu" the electric type said as if to say you won't win.

"We'll prove you wrong. Besides I'm after a fire type I read was common around here" Axel smirked. He did read up on what pokemon were common in the area when he was checking Spearow's data. Axel saw a streak of orange in the trees and smirked.

"Spearow, dive bomb peck into that bush!" Axel shouted and the bird's beak lit up in white and he dived towards the bush. A growlithe jumped out dodging. Spearow just barely straightened out his wings enough to avoid the ground.

"Follow with quick attack" Axel ordered as the spearow flew toward the growlithe, a streak of white following behind him. The little puppy pokemon shot small balls of fire at the spearow, trying to stop him. The spearow did take damage but bit kept going and slammed into the growlithe.

"Don't let up, use a repeated aerial ace" Axel stated. The spearow disappeared and reappeared slamming into growlithe multiple times before it fell down with swirls in its eyes. Axel threw a pokeball, it shook once. Twice. Three times. Four times. Ding! Growlithe was caught, Axel let him back out and healed his wounds with a super potion.

"Welcome to the family growlithe. Here spearow, I know it's not much and not really fit for a pokemon but I have to reward you somehow" Axel stated as he handed the little bird a piece of his sandwich, petting it as it ate. He then pet the little growlithe, the fire type happy to get petted. Pikachu climbed down at that point, having made up his mind to join this trainer. There were worse people he could end up with.

"Finally decided to join us pikachu? Good, I'm glad" Axel smiled, glad to have earned a bit of the electric types trust.

"Tomorrow we're going to start you on speed and strength training growlithe, spearow, 're so going to work on teaching you guys new moves" Axel stated, pulling out his pokedex and scanning them.

"Growlithe, the puppy pokemon. It has a brave and trustworthy nature. It stands up to bigger and stronger foes to protect those it cares for. This growlithe is male and knows the moves ember, bite, flame wheel, odor sleuth, and reversal. It has the ability flash fire and the egg moves close combat, iron tail, flare blitz, and heatwave. Note: only iron tail is available the rest has yet to be unlocked" the pokedex stated.

"Pikachu, the mouse pokemon. It has small electric sacs on both its cheeks. If threatened it looses electric charges from the sacs. This pikachu is male and knows the moves quick attack, thunder shock, tail whip, sweet kiss, and thunder wave. It has the ability static and the egg moves volt tackle, thunder punch, disarming voice, electric terrain, and charge. Note: none of these have yet to be unlocked" Axel turned the pokedex to pikachu.

"How about we get some sleep huh?" Axel asked his pokemon who all called in agreement. Axel laid on his sleeping bag, hands behind his head.

"I could get use to this" Axel thought, gazing fondly at his pokemon. The stars twinkled in the sky as Axel let his eyes fall.

~Castle that never was~

"So I have to defeat these heartless so you guys can get your own hearts?" Ash asked Roxas, looking sympathetic. Well he'd have to wait a bit longer to get home. He must help these guys. He wondered what Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena thought about Axel?

"Yeah, though we should have you practice against some heartless just to get you use to fighting" Roxas said, drawing Ash out if his thoughts. He nodded, following Roxas through a dark corridor.

~Pokèworld~

Axel groaned as water was splashed on his face. He glared at the poliwag that had used water gun in him. His pokemon seemed to think the same way.

"Pikachu, do you wanna battle this one?" Axel asked the electric type.

"Pika!" the pokemon agreed.

"Pikachu use quick attack to get in close the follow it up with a thundershock at point blank" Axel ordered as a streak of white followed pikachu as he headbutted the tadpole, his body lighting up in yellow static and shocking her. The pokemon jumped from one foot to the other then back flipped. Cubes of ice started coming down. It was hailing, hard. Her body started glowing pink as did her eyes as she sent a cube of ice towards pikachu. He was hit with that ice.

"I really want that pokemon. Pikachu use tail whip on those cubes to send them back at poliwag then use thundershock on them" Axel stated with a smirk as pikachu made electric ice cubes. Poliwag fainted after about five of them. Axel threw a pokeball at her. It shook once. Ding! Axel may have gone overboard. He let poliwag out and healed her with what was left of the potion.

"I think you'd be a great addition to the team if you want the spot" Axel stated and the little tadpole gave her consent. He gave pikachu a piece of his other sandwich to congratulate him, the same as he had done for spearow. Axel took out his pokedex.

"Poliwag, the tadpole pokemon. The direction of the spiral on the belly differs by area. It is more adept at swimming than walking. This pokemon is female and it knows the moves rain dance, hail, psychic, water gun, toxic, and double slap. It has the ability damp and it has no egg moves" the pokedex beeped.

"Welcome to the family, poliwag" Axel stated, smiling.
