How'd you guys like Mr. Bean? He's so fucking hilarious! :D
Thanks for reviewing. Like I said, I'm bs-ing this story as I go, so I have no set idea on where this story will end out, except for the ending of Ash being chased off a cliff after becoming a self-proclaimed "Pokemon Master". Ideas are welcomed.
One of the reviewers asked about why Pikachu seemed to obey Ash right away this time. My response is that Ash in the anime seemed to be really childish and Pikachu felt that and probably thought that it wasn't worth his time to be trained under someone like that Ash. In my story, Ash is more mature, but at the same time retains his childhood that is let out when he's in company that he's comfortable in. This way, Pikachu respects Ash more, but at the same time, he would still act childish when he wants to. If you don't understand what I explained, it's okay. I didn't understand it either.

Chapter 2
xXOne Of a KindXx
Waking up nice and early the next day, Ash left his home with a joyous skip. Ignoring his mother's cry of daily changing his 'undies', he proceeded to happily skip towards the end of Pallet Town with a blissful expression, ignorant of other towns people's looks towards him. Pikachu just hid in Ash's backpack. He continued to skip until he heard a voice yell out his name behind him.
Turning around, he spotted Leaf running up to him. She stopped right in front of Ash, face red with tiredness and her blush.
Catching her breath, she glanced up at Ash and happily exclaimed, "Hi!"
Ash sweatdropped.
"Hi Leaf..." he replied.
The two shuffled their feet in awkwardness.
"So Ash," Leaf started, "I was thinking, can I come with you on your adventure?"
Ash looked shocked for a second before a smile overtook his face.
"Of course you can!" he exclaimed happily.
Leaf smiled back happily before the two of them strode off past the town's edge. The two of then started down the path of Route One to start their adventure. An hour passed as the two of them slowly walked on the dirt path to Viridian City passing multiple Ratattas, Pidgeys, and Spearows. Leaf wanted to take their time while Ash just wanted to rush to Viridian to challenge the Viridian Gym. Without question, Leaf got her way and Ash walked dejectedly besides a blushing Leaf, hand in hand. Whilst grumbling to himself, he kicked a rock into the the edge of the path. What happened next was confusing.
It seemed as though the rock bounced off a Rattata that just so happened was practicing his Quick Attack move. Due to the angle of the rock and the angle of impact, the rock miracously shot upward towards an overhanging branch and gained momentum due to the attack. A lone Spearow, cleaning it's feathers, was hit by the rock in the head and fell off the branch, only to land unconciously in front of the trio. Confusing, yes?
Ash and Leaf stared at the unconcious Spearow with a surprised and confused look. As though automatically, Ash retrieved a PokeBall from his belt and threw it at the downed Spearow. Unoticed to both of them, another Spearow watched from another tree as her brother was hit and captured by the two humans. The Spearow turned away from her brother in sadness before gathering air into her tiny little pokemon lungs; she would avenge Flying Feather's capture.
"CALLING ALL SPEAROWS! FLYING FEATHER HAS BEEN CAPTURED BY A BOY AND A GIRL WITH HATS. AVENGE FLYING FEATHER!" she cried out, although all Ash and Leaf heard was a terrifyingly shrill sequence of 'Spear', 'row', and 'Spearow's.
Ash and Leaf turned up to the sight of a Spearow glaring down at them angrily.
"Aw crap..." Ash muttered as he started to drag Leaf along with him, running down the path as fast as they could without tripping over branches, rocks, dips, and Rattatas. Pretty soon, the two trainers could hear the beating of hundreds of Spearows, bearing down on them. With a glance at Leaf, he pushed her into the shrubery on the side of road as he continued on. Leaf was about to shriek in anger but was silenced when she saw a skyful of Spearows fly past her, chasing Ash. A sudden insight caused a lone tear to fall from her eyes and down her cheek as a terrifying thought rolled through her mind.
'He's leading the Spearows away from me...'
xXOne Of a KindXx
Ash raced along the path as Pikachu sent a few stray bolts past his ear at the approaching Spearows. A few were picked off but the majority still chased after them, using Gust, Quick Attack, and Scratch when in range. As he neared Viridian City, his shoe was caught in a ditch and he fell to the ground with a thump. He raised his head only to see the outskirts of Viridian City.
'So close, yet so far...'
Ash turned around to face the flock but caught sight of a blur slamming into him with a tackle attack. With the breath forced out of him, he was left open for the rest of the flock to attack him. Pikachu shook himself from his dazed state from his impact on the ground when he heard his trainer's scream of pain. Picking himself up off the floor, he ran towards the sound and let loose a Thunderbolt at the huge flock attacking his trainer, blasting half of them out of the air. A significant portion of the flock turned to the new threat and headed for the mouse-like pokemon.
As Pikachu braced himself for a long battle, a sharp cry of "Spearooowww!" shot through the air as all of the Spearows turned to.
"Brother?" a trembling Spearow spoke up from within the flock, revealing the sister.
"What do you think you guys are doing?" Flying Feather growled, or cawed.
"We-We were trying to save you, brother!" his sister said tearfully. The other Spearows around her also squawked in agreement.
Flying Feather's eyes softned at that before saying tearfully, "Thank you, but...But I wanted to travel with him."
At his friend's shocked looks, he hastily amended, "It's not that I don't like being with you all, it's just...if I want to be able to help us all as a flock, I must get stronger. I have to..."
Signs of tears began to form in his sister's eyes as she looked tearfully at him.
"But...But I don't want you to leave..."
Flying Feather walked over to his sister and nudged her head up with his beak.
"Hey, look at me..."he said until his sister looked up at him, "I'm going to come back... I'm not leaving forever you know."
His sister looked up at him with tears running through her small face feathers.
"Don't forget about us. Promise that you'll come back eventually and promise you won't forget about us, forget about me." she pleaded tearfully. The Spearows around them started forming tears in the corner of their eyes too.
Flying Feather looked at all of them and crossed his wing across his heart.
"I promise."
One by one, the Spearows left and flew back to their roost, a few giving Flying Feather a winged hug before leaving. Flying Feather turned back to his trainer, who was bleeding heavily from the multiple attacks. Pikachu and Spearow jumped to his side and tried waking Ash up.

Leaf was jogging up the path when she heard the beating of wings. Stopping in her path, she watched as a flock of Spearows flew over the treetop. Unnoticed, a lone Spearow broke off from the flock and flew in front of Leaf, who was still staring at the Spearows that flew past her. Leaf was alerted to the Spearow in front of her by the Spearow's call. Leaf looked at the Spearow, who was pointing down the dirt path.
"Is there something down there?"
The Spearow nodded, before shuffling it's clawed foot nervously.
Leaf thought for a second before she looked back at the retreating Spearows and down the road in horror. Without preamble, she sped down the road while the Spearow looked at the crying girl sadly. Silently, the Spearow sped off to follow the rest of the flock, all the while thinking about her brother.
Leaf ran along the dirt road, tears falling from her eyes as she continued to cry out for Ash. Slowly, a body in the middle of the road came into sight along with a Pikachu and Spearow. Picking up her pace, she ran towards Ash and dropped onto her knees besides him. She ignored the jolts of pain running up her leg as the rocks dug into her knee to check on Ash. Feeling his neck, a small sliver of hope ran through her as she felt his pulse, as weak as it was. She looked on at the horrifying sight of his torn and bloodied shirt, about to vomit. She pulled off her backpack and took out a towel to wrap around the biggest wound around his ribs to try and stop some of the bleeding. Cradling his head in her lap, she took out her PokeNav and called for the Viridian Hospital.
"Hello, this is Nurse Joy. To whom am I-"
"M-My friend was atta-attacked by Spearows on Route O-One and he-he's bleeding a lot..." Leaf hiccuped as she tried to explain what was . Pikachu and Flying Feather looked on helplessly as a patch of red began to spread along the towel tied around Ash's ribs.
"Please! He needs help!" Leaf cried into her PokeNav.
"An Emergency Response Team will be there right away. I need to-"
Leaf dropped her PokeNav as she held Ash's head tighter against her.
"You have to get through this..." she cried.
"Pika Pikapi..."
"Spearow."

Okay, I know there's a lot of blushing right now but live with it for now. I'm trying to make it a 'childhood crush' issue right now. The blushes will dissappear later on in the journey when they get more acquianted with each other, thereby leaving it to be open for a brother/sister-like relationship or a relationship where they've been together for so long that they've basically became boyfriend/girlfrend without knowing it.
Yes, Ash caught the Spearow that in the anime, he hit with a rock trying to catch Pidgey.
About the Spearow scene, I've always hated the fact that most fanfics always made the Spearows/Fearows bad guys in it, so I decided to put a little scene with Spearows in it.
Don't worry, Ash is gonna survive. I'm not gonna kill off the main character in Chapter 2...and you saw the future in the prologue in Chapter 1...he obviously lives at least five years later...
Like I said, give me a heads up if there're any large mistakes that I should fix. Flame if you don't like it. I personally think this chapter was a bit choppy, but ehh. I was hoping to have about 4k+ words per chapter, but I couldn't bring myself to put more crap into it so this was the end result. Have a generally nice day.
