"Finally! We're back in San Venturas" declared John
Ash, Misty and Pikachu then fell over anime style.
"Ummm...John, we were never in San Venturas, we skipped Venturas!" Misty said.
"Well good, because i have my first performance today!" John Said
"Pikapika!"
And as that happened finally we see a familiar three
"Looks like the twerps got a new friend, and a return of an old one"
"And a notha chance to get pikachu!"
Its obviously team rocket, who had lost Ash a while ago.
"its just..." Sighs...
And they all said
"We don't know what we're going to do!!!"
"WOBBUFFET!"
"Why don't you just come out when you're needed" Jessie yelled
"Wobbu."
But then Jessie put Wobbuffet back into its pokéball angrilly
"So when the Twerps are watching the new guy we grab pikachu! The Perfect crime" James said.
"right but we'll have to ugh... buy tickets" Jessie sighed
"Owah, we can become unexpected visata's" meowth suggested.

The First Concert
Santa Venturas (santa Barbara) is a town with a college so there are a lot of classical music lovers. As he only had Pokémon for musicians, and he was planning to play the Tchaichovsky Violin Concerto, he had to make some kind of adjustment, also knowing that the 6 pokémon he brought all play jazz and rock instruments (guitar, bass, drums, sax) but had a pianist and a cellist with him, John him self a very accomplished guitarist violinist and pianist, and tries his best on cello. Santa Venturas was a haven for classical music fans, so he knew he'd have no trouble finding an orchestra.
***
The walk to the venue was no trouble, Ash and Misty were very excited as they have never seen John play classical music, or practice for that matter. John had even acknowledged that he hasn't practiced enough lately, but he'll manage.
"I also have a surprise for you guys. I guess you haven't noticed what's in my backpack."
John reached into his backpack and got some pokéballs, but these are blue.
"John, whats that?" Ash asked.
"An invention of mine, if you remember seeing that calculus book, i did have that for a reason, you think i just do it for fun?"
"Yeah, I guess that would be pretty weird." Ash said
"But this pokéball doesn't hold pokémon...watch"
he opens it up and as a regular pokéball would that weird beam of light came out, and out came a piano.
"A...piano?" Ash asked
"Yeah, I can fit anything in this, i hold all of my stuff in these pokéballs. my violin, guitar, piano and stuff and my pokémon's instruments, c'est tres importante, aussi."
Misty giggled "ENGLISH PLEASE!!!!"
"Its very important, too" John said
"Wow, thats pretty cool" Ash said
"yeah, but I don't want to sell it, it might be used for bad purposes"
"Thats right, somebody could steal stuff with it" misty said
"bingo...oh look at the time, my performance is in 5 minutes, here are your tickets"
***
When he arrived on stage, an orchestra and six of his pokémon mixed in were ready to perform. John performed the Tchaichovsky violin concerto with few mistakes and uninterrupted, too, surprisingly. When the first segment ended john said
"Well, I would like to thank those who took the trouble to put this event together"
"I would now like to play the Red Violin Caprices"
"As he lifted up his violin for that piece a smokescreen filled the venue"
I don't want to explain this but Team Rocket comes in, tries to steal the musical pokémon and fail thanks to Ash and Misty and pikachu who shocks them. They were done in this town, the next town Bay Rock was a surfing town, but John had suggested they stay the night in a traveler's motel, that is a motel with no furniture and room for sleeping bags. The next morning the trio and pikachu headed towards Bay Rock (which wasn't that far)
***
It wasn't a very long walk to Bay Rock, several miles, not too bad. When they got there John had gotten a craving to go surfing, but all Ash could think of is Pokémon. Knowing that Misty does like [love] Ash, she comes along with Ash and Pikachu to the mountain nearby where in that is a grassland where many Grass-Type pokémon are. After a short (ugh...) hike, Ash, Misty and Pikachu came across an Oddish.
"Oh snap, It's an oddish!"
"oddish, oddish, oddish, oddish" the oddish said
"I'll catch it by surprise, so i won't have to weaken it" Ash said
"Keep telling yourself that, Ash"
"GO PO̊KÉBALL!!!!!!!"
The pokéball flew towards the pokémon but all of a sudden another pokéball hit it. The oddish didn't even notice.
"Hey, I saw the oddish first!!!!!" the other trainer said.
She came out from behind the bushes, she looked like Dawn except with very long, black hair and was wearing a pair of jeans and a lady's teeshirt. She took her pokéball and tossed it at the Oddish and caught it.
"Oh hi, I'm Yuriko" she said
"I'm Ash-and did you just catch that oddish?"
"mmhmm, it didn't see it coming and neither did you"
"This is misty" Ash continued
"hi."
"Pika-Pikachu"
"Anyway, DO you guys know how to get out of this forrest? I've been here for hours and I'm trying to get to Bay City for my next contest"
"Oh, you're a coordinator, well you can travel with us, the three of us, we're heading there too" Ash suggested
"That sounds fine with me" Misty says
"And J-"
"Okay I get it, I can come, well lets get out of here"
The new trio headed back to Town, and got there pretty quickly and then they met up with John
"Hey guys, the waves were great and-what's she doing here?"
"JOHN!?!?!?!?!" Yuriko yelled.
"Oh god, this is awkward" John said.
"What? what's going on?"
Flashback: John had been a trainer for almost a year, and is ten (the age when you actually start training) he had already finished the Ameriko League, and returned home to officially start his Pokémon training career and received his sandshrew, met Yuriko, they went their seperate ways after meeting, John to Kanto and Yuriko to do the Ameriko league. John had gotten in the top 5 of the Pokémon league, and Yuriko got in the top 8 in the Ameriko League. After Kanto, John decided to travel to Johto after a month break at home. On the way to Violet City, he met up with Yuriko, but went their seperate ways, John then negligently saved Yuriko's life, who soon developed a crush on him. She followed him everywhere for a couple of days, occaisionally bickering with John to hide her feelings, and then John accepted Yuriko as his friend. They became very close, and soon John started to have the same feelings for Yuriko, without realizing that Yuriko liked him. But being the highly intellegent, her behavior towards him became slightly more obvious, and John realized that Yuriko liked him. He decided to tell her that he knows by finding a perticually obvious moment, and be straight forward. They got even closer, and became boyfriend and girlfriend. However, after finishing in the Silver Confrence, John started to do things that she didn't like, and though she still loved him, she couldn't deal with it. So she dumped him, leaving both parties pretty depressed. John went off to Hoenn (as quickly as possible) and Yuriko went to Sinnoh to become a coordinator. They never saw each other again. Until now.
End Flashback
"Wow..." Misty said "I never realized how straight forward you should be to get a guy, I mean I tried to let Ash know, but I always ended up blushing my face off, and that bickering thing just made things worse." Misty thought
"Well, Ex or not, if you want to come with Misty and I, then come, if not, just go" Ash said decisively.
"Pikapika!"
"Well I guess i agreed to travel with you" Yuriko conceeded
"and I was here first so I'm coming too" John added
"Oh great, a year with John, I wonder what will happen" Yuriko thought.
The now group of four left town towards Bay City, which was the next city over on a peninsula.
Bay City was small but very populous and dense, and it is situated on a small peninsula, nevertheless it was a major enough city to hold a Gym. This is a waterpokémon gym, and the winner would get the Mist Badge, from Wolfgang. There was also a contest here, that only Yuriko would apply for, and John is performing rock at the Fillmeup Stadium. It would be a busy time, unfortunately this place has amazing Chinese food, which they won't enjoy, or will they. After staying in Bay City for a few days, Ash had been training, Yuriko training, and John practicing, and Misty helping Ash, they were all about to see a twist of fate. See, they were invited to a pre-contest thing, so that was cool. But here's the important part, the group ended up at the thing and somebody's toros had gotten loose and headed straight for Yuriko, and John not noticing backed up and knocked Yuriko back and saved her life [again].
"John you saved my live!"
"I did?"
"yes, and i'm totally grateful" she blushed
"cool." he replied, he walked away completely unaware of the good deed he had just committed.
After the event Ash Conceded
"That was a total waste of time, I mean you almost died, Yuriko"
"Yeah but it totally changed how I think about some people" she said as she looked at John with a smile.
"Pikapika!"
"Seriously, now what exactly did I do to save your life?"
"When you backed up and knocked me over, you made a charging Taros not hit me"
"Oh, well...in that case always a pleasure to save you"
***
Bay City had lots of rock concerts, so for this portion of the tour John would get back together with 3 of his best friends, Junsunji, Lev, and Karl. Together they were a Punk/70's style hard rock band called John Weiss [weiss isn't my real last name] and the Red Army. His rock gig wasn't well known as his Jazz or Classical projects, but that was on. He had a very extensive setlist, ranging from Vampire Weekend's music to Dead Kennedys to a bunch of his own works. Thank god team rocket didn't show up for today's concert, and John definately feared the worst and requested higher security, but nothing happened.
Misty had learned a few things about guys from Yuriko and has decided to hang out with Ash more. Therefore, after John's concert, Ash, Misty, and Pikachu went out for a walk in the dense city of Bay City, but what's the point of that All Ash wanted to do was to train pokémon, and Misty knew it, she wanted something more out of Ash. Pokémon training was a noble profession, and that she was a part of too, and knew that as well, which brought them together.
***
After several days of R&R it was finally time for Ash to do the water pokémon gym in the Eastern Part of town, Ash had chosen Bulbasaur, Pikachu and Bayleef, and as a result totally owned Wolfgang, who used Squirtle, Wortortle, and Blastoise, and as a result won the Mist badge.
"Well that was easy" Ash said
"Yeah those poor water pokémon" misty said
"So where to next?" asked John
