Ash's Ranch Chapter 2 Ash All the pokemon were wonderful around the ranch his gift pokemon from his father were as willing to train as his old pokemon. Charizard would watch the pokemon and Bulbasaur pair were wonderful peace keepers as was Venasaur Sceptile Torterra and Gyarados. Mewtwo came up to me 'Ash why did you allow my clones Dragonite Fearow and all the other pokemon into your ranch?' ''Because Mewtwo I know that I couldn't let any harm come to you or them and I bought this to be close to pokemon and I am becoming closer everyday so I won't worry about accepting any pokemon that needs help.'' 'Thank you Ash I promise to battle hard whenever you should need me by the way how did you get Blaziken.' ''I was passing through a small town in Kalos and there was a pokemon poacher chasing a Beldum and Torchic I used all my team and got him arrested and then took care of Beldum and Torchic and caught them and in training both evolved. Mewtwo went from being a cold pokemon who wanted to destroy the world to being as caring as Ash. On the grounds Ash's Houndour Magby and Growlithe were training flame-thrower with Charizard pair Rapidash Ninetails Vulpix Infernape Quilava Torkoal Pignite Lampent Talonflame Blaziken and Pyroar. Ash's new and old pokemon became vast friends and rivals. Houndour wanted to evolve but the pack wanted to stay the same. Ash allowed each of the Houndour to choose if they evolved or not. Ash began training with his pokemon as well and the Houndour leader really battled hard beating Levanny Gogoat Vileplume and Snivy in battle. Houndour began to glow and soon bacame a Houndoom. This gave Ash some real confidence in his pokemon. For hours his pokemon trained together and improved their strengths greatly. Nightfall was coming and tonight was cold as winter was upon the land. Ash had his pokemon stay warm and inside from 7.00pm until the morning but as he went to lock up with Mewtwo they spot something outside two very small electric attacks and a Primeape and Raticate attacking two small pokemon that are badly hurt. ''Mewtwo let's go and help them.' Ash and Mewtwo rush out to see what is going on. Mewtwo's psychic shut the door and kept it shut only he and Ash could open it. The pokemon were a beaten Plusle and Minun with no energy left and Raticate and Primeape were team rocket pokemon. ''Mewtwo psychic get Plusle and Minun out of there and then send Team rocket flying.'' 'With pleasure Ash.' Mewtwo's psychic brought Plusle and Minun were brought safely to Ash who scooped them into his arms and then Psychic brought Primeape and Raticate together and thrown at their trainers who were Butch and Cassidy. They were sent blasting off again with their pokemon. Racing to get Plusle and Minun home to rest them and hopefully make sure they aren't to badly hurt and can still be ok should they be sent back to the wild. Ash is baffled though Plusle and Minun are Hoenn native pokemon and only if caught leave the regions of Hoenn Sinnoh and Kalos and then mostly in power plants or areas of electricity to keep their power up. Returning home with Plusle Minun and Mewtwo Ash gets Mewtwo to lock the ranch fully and finds a warm bed for Plusle and Minun to sleep as they collapse from exhaustion and need the rest. That night was calm and as Ash drifted to sleep he realised he forgot to call the woman he loved and hoped loved him back. The morning sun shone deceptivly as it looked like a warm July day not a frosty crisp November morning. Ash went to his video-phone and dialed the number to get no response. Odd he thought in retrospect it was 7.00AM. Going to the kitchen Ash starts his and the pokemon breakfast and when done he goes to eat Plusle and Minun come out very shaky about the other pokemon but after a quick meal and introduction Ash explained how he helped them last night and Mewtwo backed the story up. Plusle and Minun were shocked at this humans kindness feeding them saving them from team rocket and giving them a choice to become his pokemon or stay wild. Both eagerly joined him hoping they could be strong one day. Ash said to them 'If you train with us you will be stronger.' The little pokemon were so happy to have a kind and stronger trainer who would help them become the best they could be. Breakfast presented a problem after as that was all the food Ash had so he had to go for supplies but who could look after the ranch for the time he was gone. Well he left Mewtwo in charge taking Pikachu Hitmonlee Golduck Vileplume Charizard and Magby with him to stop trouble if he needed to. The mart was not far away but between here and there a secret looking market place a place Ash should have steered clear off as the police were there making arrests of pokemon poachers who have forced several pokemon from Johto Hoenn Sinnoh Unova and Kalos to Kanto to be sold and only to high bidding trainers. As Ash passed he saw a Shinx Paniward Vannilite Bedew Chinchou Clampearl Elekid Inkay Espurr Timburr Sigilyph Solosis Gothita Mantyke Slugma Lilipup Patrat Remoraid Sneasel Poocheyena and Natu all hurt and in desperate need of some care. Running to the police he asked ''Officer I own a ranch is there anyway I could adopt and raise these pokemon. I have won the Kalos league and I would make sure all have food and care taken and are safe especially in the oncoming winter.'' 'Young man we can see you care deeply for pokemon but we can't just let them go however if you can convince them to join you I will allow you to raise them and you seem capable of caring for them.' ''I am and I promise to all of these pokemon I will make them strong but also in the cold of winter keep them safe as you know only to well winter is not a forgiving time of year and I am going for supplies and I am more than happy to purchase supplies for them to keep them safe and warm.'' The Timburr came forward slowly and Ash was only too happy to accept him. Then the Shinx Poocheyena Patrat Lilipup Clampearl Chinchou Remoraid Espurr Elekid Gothita Mantyke Slugma Sigilyph Solosis Sneasel Natu Vannilite and Inkay came over and Ash caught all of them sending them home. After the ordeal of saving these pokemon and buying supplies the new adopted pokemon meeting his old pokemon the snow came not a blizzard but flakes and there was no stop of flakes so by 10.00Pm when Ash went to sleep the whole of his ranch outside was covered in not a pillow or blanket but bed of snow the snow engulfed forests fields buildings a small out house that was on the ranch grounds was covered and luckily no one was inside or used the building. Gyarados had to use Hyper-beam to smash the frozen pool for water pokemon then later it began to freeze again. Ash called his pokemon back inside to make them safe and warm. All but one inside. Glalie was outside being an Ice-type it wasn't that affected by the weather but as the cold winds picked up Glalie was blown inside but Ash was holding on and had to shut and lock the door using the new equipment to keep it from being moved a huge beam and the beam wedged the door shut. That night Ash was making dinner for the pokemon and him and the pokemon the newer pokemon were supprised eat out and sleep in a warm room not their pokeballs but Ash's other pokemon were only to happy to help them and make sure they were ok. Plusle and Minun were still shaky but found this night better than last night and with the Pikachu clone they were ok. There was a blizzard that night and the ranch was battered and cold winds got inside. Ash had to go and use the big heating unit that was put in by previous owner thankfully he knew how severe winter was.
