New chapter! Ahh, this is much more fun then I thought it would be, I'm enjoying writing this fic :3, now lets begin chapter two.
Ash glared at the one person in this world he hated, Gary Oak, Ash's rival/nemeses, they have always been rivals since they were born and as of right now, Gary was winning.…and both of them knew it."Ashley." Gary greeted with a smirk."Really? You've been using that for..like six years, I mean…I could do so much worse with your name Fairy and….Mary." Ash counted off."Yeah yeah, whatever, look I'm just here to get my Pokedex gramps promised me." Gary said."Oh right! I nearly forgot, here you go Gary." Oak said as he handed Gary his pokedex and some pokeballs."Thanks gramps….say Ash, what do you say we have we have a little battle to give our Pokemon some battling experience?" Gary suggested as he released Squirtle, his Pokemon came out with a excited cry of "Squirt!". "After all, my Pokemon could use the chance to boost it's strength by beating your pokemon." Gary spoke up again, with arrogance in his narrows his eyes as his Pokemon growled, hebent down to look into Charmander's eyes. "Come on Charmander, wha do you say about teaching this guy a lesson on who is the real Pokemon Master?" Ash said softly. Charmander nodded and pumped it's fist, you could tell it was ready for it's first battle." Uh oh." Oak thought. "Two new, brash young trainers with ego's the size of Mt. Silver. This is not gonna end well."
" Ladies first". Said Ash, sending Charmander out into the makeshift field."Thank you, kind sir." Gary replied sarcastically as he sent Squirtle onto the field as well."Squirtle! Use Tackle!" Gary yelled quickly, trying to catch Ash of guard…it didn't work. Squritle nodded and started running towards it's foe. "Charmander, wait until it gets in close, then grab it and slam it on the ground!" Ash yelled. Charmander nodded and braced its self as Squritle cam running right in, then when it was close it leapt right at Charmander! Charmander, as commanded, waited until the right moment and snatched a surprised Squirtle out of the air and proceeded to slam it into the floor and make a shell shaped dent in the ground.
"Now jump on it's stomach and use Scratch on it's face!" Ash cheered, almost seeing an easy victory, but, sadly..no."Squirtle! Spin and retract into your shell!" Gary yelled quickly. Squirtle quickly retracted into it's shell and spun, causing the red lizard to lose it's balance and topple over."Charmander, bat it into the air with your tail, then jump after it and use Scratch." Ash commanded. His Pokemon nodded and flipped the tiny turtle into the air, and watched as the turtle went higher and higher, then jumped after it with tiny glowing claws. Squirtle, now noticing he was flipping and turning in the air, came out of his shell with a confused "Squirt?", just as Charmander used Scratch and smacked it into the wall of the lab."Squirtle!" Gary yelled and ran up to it, checking it for injuries. As he bent down and picked it up, Squirtle came out of it's shell with swirls in it's eyes. Gary sighed and returned it to it's Pokeball, turning to face Ash. He saw the positively gleeful look on Charmander's face and the huge grin plastered across Ash's face. Ash bent down and picked up Charmander, hugging it and giving it it's congratulations."Good job Charmander…hey, how about I give you a nickname. How does that sound?" The little lizard nodded wondering what Ash was gonna name him."How 'bout….Dragan?" Ash suggested, watching as Charmander thought it over…..then finally, nodded and smiled. "Awesome, Dragan it is then." Ash smiled back at his newly named Pokemon, then went up to shake hands with Gary. As the clasped hands, they leaned to each other's ears.
"That's skill, you arrogant douche." Ash whispered. "I call it newbie's luck, next time, I'm gonna own you." Gary whispered back as they pulled away and Gary ran out the lab door."Thank Mew, it's over." Oak thought with relief."Well, I guess congratulations are in order for winning on your first battle, Ash." Oak said."Thanks professor, but it was all Dragan here." Ash said as he patted Dragan's head. Dragan let out a noise that nearly sounded like a "purr"."Anyway Ash, you has better get going, it's time to start your journey." Oak suggested."Just a second" Ash said, taking out his Pokedex and scanning Dragan.
"Charmander, the Lizard Pokemon, level: 6, Ht. 2'00".Wt. 18.7 lbs." It listed off, then it continued. "it has a preference for hot things. When it rains, steam is said to sprout from the tip of it's tail." It ended it's explanation."Whoa, cool." Ash muttered, returning the Pokedex to his pack
"Well, I'm gonna get going, see you later Professor…and thanks, for everything." Ash smiled."You're welcome Ash, now get going." Oak shooed. Ash nodded, returning Charmander to it's Pokeball and running out of the lab, and to his house to say good bye to his mom and get a few last minute things
.Ash left his house, rubbing the few tears away from his goodbye with his mother. He took a few moments to calm himself and started running to the exit of Pallet town. Ash bolted right out of the town, running until he found himself at a river about across, leading down to a small waterfall. He also saw a bridge….but something to the right caught his eye. He walked towards it and as he got closer, he noticed it was four things, They were all tan shells, four of them. "Squirtle's?" He thought out loud. He walked closer, not seeing the bubbling water about eight feet to his left. Suddenly, all four shells flipped over, revealing the small light blue turtle. All four of them had panicked looks on their faces and turned around and started quickly swimming, like they were…running from something? Or swimming anyway. Ash sat confused, before running after the turtles, not noticing a long shadow of about twenty feet long. Ash stopped running, hearing the sound of…water being split behind him. He swiftly turned around in time to see a massive shadow burst from the water, shattering the bridge leading across."What the hell?" He watched with narrowed eyes as the water feel away to reveal a huge, blue snake/ dragon like Pokemon. He knew what it was as soon as he saw it."Gyarados…." He gaped in silent awe. The large Pokemon merely turned towards him, hearing his voice….they locked eyes…and the Gyarados let out a huge roar that nearly shook the ground. Ash tightened his fists, knowing that this was a sign…of an angry beast.
Hahaha finally done. Whoa that took a while, as always review and tell me what you think, also let me know in reviews on if you want Ash to catch Gyarados or Squirtle or even both. I can't deicide so let me know what you all think. I have plans that can go either way with either choice, so come on…review :D
