Episode 1: In the Shadow of Zekrom!


Today was the big day. Ash, his former rival Gary and his friend Misty were ready to head for the Unova Region. The trio was standing in line for the sea plane to take them to Unova. It was a bright sunny morning, so Gary had his sunglasses on his face as they board the plane. The Sea plane took off from the port as Ash watched the little of Vermillion City he could find disappear out of site as the plane glided through the air. From behind Ash, Misty, and Gary in the back of the plane sat three familiar faces, wearing black coats and hats and were Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket. Taking their Boss's orders to sneak in under covered; they took the flight from Vermillion City to the Unova Region in order to set up their plans for Giovanni. The trio peered over the seats to see the trainers, Azurill, and Pikachu. Meowth and Jessie look back to James and Jessie spoke to the two boys.

"Imagine running to the twerps in a time like this." Jessie pointed out to the two members.

"And the world's most powerful Pikachu too. With Pikachu we can't lose." Meowth said as well.

"A win straight out of the box," James remarked, squeezing his fist in agreement. "Here's to success."

While the villainous trio was keeping their eye on the trainers, Gary had out a white laptop and began to work on information he collected from Sinnoh. Misty was sound asleep with Azurill safely in her arms as the raven haired teen was reading some pamphlets on the Unova Region. Gary took his eyes of his work and spoke to him, seeing what he was up to.

"Doing a little reading, Ash?"

"Yeah, I thought I learn about this region a little before we arrive. There's a lot of things and Pokémon I never seen before, so maybe some light reading will do me some good. Plus, maybe I find that one Pokémon I met. A Zoura, I think it's from Unova." Ash explained, thinking back to the two dark types he came across in Sinnoh a while back. He also encountered a Zoroark; its evolved form, Celebii, and a shiny version of the Legendary Beast trio.

"It could be, when we get to Nuvema Town, we'll meet up with Professor Juniper, okay?" Gary replied.

"Okay." Ash nodded. The two boys look to see Misty was doing, but were a little a back what she was doing now. She was talking in her sleep, something Ash never saw of her when he used to travel with her. It was like looking at a little girl that Misty reminding them of. It was funny in a cute way, really showed she hasn't changed much since their encounters.

"No Daisy, I don't want to wear the dress." Misty murmured, shifting slightly in her seat.

Ash, Pikachu, and Gary chuckled as they continued reading. That's Misty no doubt about it, mature but more child than adult.


(Cue Black and White-Pokémon 14th opening)


It's always hard, when the journey begins.

Ash, Misty, and Gray stood side by side in the Unova Region. Their hair slightly moving in the breeze as they stood with Pikachu, Azurill, and Umbreon with smiles on their faces

Hard to find your way, hard to make new friends.

Standing at a fork in the road, the three Kanto residences were looking through a map to find the right way to go. As they stood, several people appeared with them along with their Pokémon: Hilda and Oshawott, Iris and Axew, Cilan and Pansage, and Leaf and Jigglypuff.

But there's nothing you can't do, because you've got the power inside of you.

Jessie, James, and Meowth appeared wearing trench coats talking to their boss Giovanni as an unknown man with a red eye patch like visor was speaking with a teenage boy with long green hair. Ash and Hilda stood on gym battle field, taking a Poke ball from their belts and tossing it into the air.

It's not always black and white, but your heart always knows what's right.

Released from their Pokeballs were Tepig and Oshawott batting in the Unova gyms with flashes of their upcoming battles and adventures. Ash battling the Striaton Gym leaders with Bayleef, Tepig, and Oshawott, Hilda batting a boy with green hair who used a female Purrloin to which it was found and goes with Team Rocket, Leaf battling the Flying type gym leader Sklya, Hilda standing on a tower watching for someone with her brunette hair blowing in the breeze, Cilan battling with Pansage in Ash's battle with him, Iris and Axew battling in the Battle Club, Ash and a blond haired girl with a green beret in the Dream yard where a familiar Pokémon lurks in the ruins, and Hilda and Misty looking at Trip wondering what he was thinking about while they watched Ash and his' second battle.

It's not about win or loses; it's the path you choose.

Next of their adventures were shown with Ash battling with Cilan again the leaders of the Battle subway with Tepig and Pansage, Gary and Leaf working together in Chargestone Cave, and Ash and a red haired girl holding out a hand to Meowth in the sunset.

Let the journey begin,

Lastly, the group of Cilan, Iris, Axew, Leaf, Gary, Misty, and Azurill put their hands (or in Axew and Azurill's case, paw and bubble tail) together with Ash, Pikachu, and Hilda last to do it while smiling to one another and slamming their hands/paws together.

Pokémon!


Hours had finally passed on the flight and the plane had made its way to Unova and the Nuvema Town port. Ash look out his window with excitement as Gary and Misty look out the window too. From where they were in the sky, they could see mountains off in the distance. From the town below, it look nice and big for a town, almost bigger than Ash's quiet town of Pallet. Many visible house and shops litter the beautiful town with the pilot's voice speaking from the intercom, getting Ash and his friends'' attention. From inside an airport tower, a man was radio in the plane from Vermillion City.

"Fight 151 on Kanto on final approach. You're cleared for landing." (A/N 1)

The plane finally land in Nuvema Town port with Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Azurill, and Gary first to walk out the plane's runway. With his feet now firmly in a whole new region, the raven haired teen cheered with his partner cheering too, "We're here, Pikachu!"

Gary and Misty walked passed Ash to the direction of the airport. Misty look to Ash said to him, "We'll go and pick up our bags, wait here for us Ash."

"Sure." Ashes replied watching his friend and former rival walked away and enter the airport. Ash stood by the sea plane and look to see Pikachu staring out at the port.

"Pikachu!" Ash called out to his partner.

Pikachu didn't respond, but ran closer to the port's water, Ash deciding to follow after him. Pikachu stopped and look around the port, now gazing at the sky, which dark clouds were coming their way.

"Why do I feel something coming this way?" Pikachu thought. Something about those clouds made the Electric Mouse Pokémon look worried, feeling something was coming and it was noting to take lightly.

Ash ran up behind him and asked, "Pikachu, what's up?"

Ash's gaze turned from Pikachu to the water as a native Unova Pokémon jumped from the water. From what he could see, it reminds him of Luvdisc. It was a pink fish Pokémon with darker pink markings on its body and fins. Its main body is heart-shaped. It has large, hand-like dorsal and ventral fins, each divided into four sections and tipped with a paler pink. It seemed to lack a proper tail fin. Its eyes were round with golden irises and a mark that appears to be an eyelash extending up and back toward the rest of the body. The Unova water Pokémon then dived back into the water with a splash, but the raven haired teen was surprised and excited to see it.

"Never seen that Pokémon before!" Ash said excited and ran pass Pikachu to get a closer look with Pikachu now following after him. From behind the trainer and Pikachu, Team Rocket had already left the plane, their eyes set on Pikachu.

Pikachu and Ash stood by the edge of the pier, looking for the unknown Unova Pokémon as Ash then smiled and said. "Cool, I wonder if there are more!"

Pikachu looked back to the storm clouds coming their way as Ash look to his partner's direction too, noticing them too. "Looks to be a storm coming, thank goodness we didn't get caught in it." Ash said, placing a hand his hat. 'Still, that Pokémon was the first one of Unova I've seen after arriving here.' He thought still looking at the sky.

Suddenly, a metal claw appeared and grabbed Pikachu right in front of Ash's eyes. Ash gaped, screaming out Pikachu's name, "Pikachu!" and the raven haired teen quickly grabbed it and pulled as hard as he could. He looked up in surprise to find three unknown figures on top of the plane's wing, with the smallest working the claw.

"Hey, who are you guys?!" Ash demanded to the three figures. Two on the left and right were the same height but the middle one was much shorter like a child.

"Who are you is a question indeed." The one on the left said to him from below.

"We'll answer you when feel the need." The one of the right of the short figure said as well.

After speaking to him, they discarded their coats revealing themselves to be Jessie and James of Team Rocket, but Ash noticed something different about them than before. Their uniform was different. Instead of the usual white they wore, it was a black uniform, with a purple belt as usual. Ash couldn't believe it, how could they be here? (A/N 2)

"Team Rocket, what are you doing here!?" Ash demanded angrily.

"I'll ask you the same question!" James retorted hands folded while Jessie had a hand to her hip.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.

Pikachu's red cheeks sparked with electricity as he let out a thunderbolt from his cheeks and body that traveled up the claw line, But Meowth was ready and a satellite shield protected them as the thunderbolt attack bounced off the satellite, spreading the thunderbolt away.

"Wasted effort…" James said mockingly.

"We're completely thunderbolt proof." Jessie said in a the same mocking voice as her partner

In the airport, Misty and Gary had grabbed their bags and Ash's as they look back to see the clouds. Both trainers looked confused at the dark clouds, strange blue light in the center, and blue thunderbolts, knowing something was off with the weather. Misty looked to Gary who look to her when she spoke.

"Gary, was it going to rain today?"

Gary looked concerned and took his hand to his sunglasses and removed them, his eyes now on her. "Those look like no rainclouds, more like thunderclouds."

Both ran closer to the glass windows and saw not only the thunderclouds hovering in the clouds but Ash wrestling Pikachu from the grasp of some unknown trio. Pikachu's thunderbolt was still traveling from the claw's cable to the trio. They were shocked, seeing their friend was in trouble

"Ash!" they exclaimed.

The clouds then hovered over Ash, Pikachu, and Team Rocket, an odd blue light was in middle on the swirling thunderclouds. The clouds boomed with even more lightning as even Pikachu stopped his attack. Ash looked up as well at the odd thunderclouds to which a large blue thunderbolt hit Ash and Pikachu, causing not only Team Rocket to be sent backwards, but Ash too and the claw that captured Pikachu to be destroyed as well. Ash and Pikachu cried out while back at the airport, Misty, Azurill, and Gary shield their eyes from the intense light as even the Airport's tower, the crew members were as well, and their machines sparking electricity.

Back on the ground, Ash groaned in pain but finally he woke up, now finding himself bathed in the strange light, but his thoughts weren't on the light, but looking to find his partner Pikachu in pain from the first blue thunder attack, standing his ground and looking back into the sky. Ash did so as well, looking to find the blue light source crackling electricity. From the other side of the wing, Team Rocket inched their way from the scene as Pikachu launched a Thunderbolt into the clouds. The blue light disappeared, revealing a silhouette of a large Dragon like Pokémon still hidden within the clouds. Pikachu wondered what was in there, was the strange feeling he felt before the clouds came over their heads? There was one thing they could make out, a pair of glowing red eyes. Its shape was tough to make out, but its shadow was all they could make its body. It was a bipedal Pokémon of dragon- and dinosaur-like basis. It was mainly a shade of black and a darker gray, with darker patches on various portions of its body. It had red scleras, white irises and black pupils, as well as a small horn-like protrusion on the tip of its snout. Its head sports a thundercloud-like crest tipped with light-blue coloration. At the base of its neck is a black, stud-like feature, and atop its shoulders are similar, larger features resembling armor padding. The bases of its wings also have such padding and a fanned, splayed, seemingly webbed shape with a small "wing-spike on one edge. The lower length of its arms extenuate into splayed, seemingly webbed, somewhat baseball-mitt-like formations, with three-clawed, dark-colored hands on the undersides. The front portion of its waist was black-colored, with its belly and thighs having thin striations down their length. Its knees are black, as are the foremost parts of its three-clawed feet and spiked heels. Its tail consists of large, round, conical and spiked formation, likened to an electricity generator, with a black inner portion and bands on the tip of the outside portion.

"So what's that?" Ash asked in confusion.

From outside the town, a young girl with large purple hair tied in a ponytail at the end and a small green dragon Pokémon had pop their heads from the top of a tree to see the huge thunderstorm hovering over Nuvema town. They looked at the clouds with interesting, wondering what going on.

"Check it out! Something's great going on, Axew let's go!" the purple haired girl said to the small Pokémon.

"Right!" spoke the Dragon Pokémon and hopped into the girl's hair disappearing from sight. The purple haired girl jumped from the treetop, grabbed a vine, and began to swing through the trees with a smile on her face.

Back at Nuvema town airport, Misty and Gary were even more worried, their friend was in the middle of this strange storm. With their bags and Azurill in hand, they hurried outside to help him. Thunder continued to come from the unknown Pokémon and the clouds as Ash and Pikachu watched in horror. What was this strange Pokémon in the clouds, or better yet, is it a Pokémon.

"Is that… a Pokémon?" Ash asked.

From above, the unknown Pokémon sent out another thunder attack that sent Ash and Pikachu backwards again. From where the thunderbolt hit, the clouds spread and disappeared. Inside the airport tower, all systems were back online, like it never happened. Ash groaned and lifted himself off the ground and look around to find Pikachu on the ground too. He gasped and ran to pick Pikachu up.

"Pikachu, Pikachu, are you okay?" Ash asked hopefully.

Pikachu opened his eyes slowly and answered with his name. "I fine, Ash."

"Pikachu, you're okay!" Ash said, hugging him while the Electric mouse responds with a squeak. "I'm so glad!" before hearing two sets of footsteps coming their way

"Ash, you okay?!" Misty called from a distance.

Ash turned around to find Misty and Gary running up to him. They stop when they came close to him and panted slightly.

"Ash, what happened, what was in those clouds. Those weren't normal clouds." Gary asked trying to catch his breath.

"I'm not sure, but I thought I saw a Pokémon in those clouds." Ash replied.

"A Pokémon?" repeated Gary.

"It can't be some regular one to do that kind of power." Misty said before smiling brightly at her friend. "Glad you're not hurt."

Ash nodded, Pikachu agreeing too, but their attention was on Pikachu himself as his cheeks sparked with electricity. The two teens saw the strange sparking from Pikachu, finding it weird that his cheeks would do that. Pikachu had good control over his electricity, so this wasn't like him to allow that to happen. Gary took his gaze from Pikachu and Ash to the sky above him.

"That's particular. What happen in those clouds?" Gary wondered.

Pikachu then perched himself back on his trainer's and smiled, Ash smiled too. Gary still was curious to what happened. He crossed his arms and pondered, trying to put together what just happened.

"Before we got outside, all we saw were the clouds. But if a Pokémon really caused it, then what was it?" Gary asked.

"I'm not sure." Ash replied as the three trainers, Pikachu, and Azurill look into the sky.

"Oh Gary, you made it!" a voice called from behind them.

The three turned around and Gary smiled to the source of the voice. "Oh, Professor Juniper, it's nice to finally meet you!"

Standing right in from of them was the Professor of the Unova Region. She was a young woman close to Ash's mom's age with light brunette hair, a white lab coat over a white top, a green skirt and red and white slip on shoes. Ash and Misty were surprised to see another female professor since the last times they saw one (one of them leaving a mark on their Brock's history).

"I'm sorry I was so late." Professor Juniper said.

"That's okay; we just arrived after that weird storm. Ash, Misty, this is Professor Juniper. Professor Juniper, these are my friends from Kanto, Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower."

"It's very nice to meet you!" Ash and Misty greeted.

After they introduce another, Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Azurill, and Gary climbed into Juniper's jeep and head their way to her lab. As they traveled through the town and the forest, Ash, Pikachu, Misty, and Azurill saw many different Pokémon, ones they never saw before in between the trees, in front of some bushes, and shaded by the canopy of leaves smiling at them. It was a deer or fawn-like Pokémon, most resembling a fallow deer. The upper side of its body is colored pink and is rimmed and dappled with yellow patterns, with the underside of its body being a lighter beige shade. It sports a yellowish-colored, floral tuft on its head, and similar yellow coloration on the ear insides of its tapering ears. The tips of its limbs are colored black and its pink tail is small. Ash and Misty turned their heads in front of them to see more of deer like Pokémon before passing more of them on the side of the road before running in the direction of the jeep speaking its name, 'Deerling'. Ash and Misty chuckled and smiled seeing the Deerling follow after them. From above in the sky was a mainly gray, pigeon-like Pokémon. It has golden, oval eyes and a tuft of feathers atop its rounded head. It has a short, black beak with a bulbous pink cere, and a black patch on the nape of its neck. There is a wide, heart-shaped area of lighter coloration on its chest. Its black wings have a thick gray stripe down the side. It has pink feet with black talons. It cooed it's named 'Pidove!' and flew away overhead the group. Ash, Misty, and their Pokémon were amazed seeing that Pokémon too, and a whole flock in fact. Looking from the Pidove to in front of them again, the two teens and Pokémon blinked in confusion seeing the next group of Pokémon, one of them disappearing into the bush and a few peering through trees. It was a rodent-like Pokémon that resembles a chipmunk. It is mostly brown with a tan stomach and face. It has a large pointed tooth that sticks out of its mouth. It had a flat face, and its cheeks were very round. Also it had cheek pouches that it uses to store food. Its ears are small and pointed. Its head had a black band that covers the eyes, which have red irises with a yellow ring and black pupils. Its feet are small and black with three toes. Its long tail has scruffy white tip, and is usually standing up straight.

Gary sat in the front seat while Ash and Misty sat in the back. Juniper noticed the excitement of seeing new Pokémon from the corner of her eyes seeing both Misty and Ash's excitement on their faces.

"So Ash, Misty, there's Pokémon are new to you right?" Juniper asked.

"Yeah!" Ash and Misty replied to the Unova professor but looked to see Pikachu's cheeks spark again. The Electric mouse shook like a wet Growlithe to shake it off while Misty spoke up to explained what happened prior to meeting the professor.

"Pikachu's been doing that ever since that weird storm."

"When we get to Juniper's lab, we'll see what wrong with Pikachu." Gary said to Ash and Misty and looks back to the road.

"So Gary you've been a researcher for almost two years, that's really impressive. I like to know how yow much you learned while you're in Nuvema Town." Juniper said.

"Sure." Gary responded.

"So are Kanto and Hoenn Pokémon like Pikachu and Azurill found here?" Misty asked.

"We need never seen a Pikachu or an Azurill in this part of Unova, they're really rare here." Professor Juniper explained. (A/N 3)

"Wow." Misty said excited.

"So are Pikachu and Azurill the only Pokémon the two of you brought?" Juniper asked to both Ash and Misty and then to Gary himself.

"I have my Corsola, Psyduck, and Staryu." Misty said.

"I brought my Blastoise, Umbreon, Arcanine, Salamence, and two other Pokémon as well." Gary added.

"And I brought Gible, Quilava, and Bayleef." Ash finished.

"Interesting, I'd like to meet them." Juniper said as Gary added, "We'll probably find more Pokémon that we never seen before at Professor Juniper's lab."

"Right, you two should enjoy that." Juniper added too as they left the forest area and into another part of the road near a body of water where a flock of Pokémon resided either wadding the water or cleaning its fathers. It was a swan-like Pokémon with primarily white plumage. Its beak is long and yellow topped with a black cere, and it has several white feathery features adorning its head. The more rounded of the features are to the sides of its head, and the more pointed feature is atop. It also possesses a long, curving neck. Two light-blue feathery features, similar to those on the sides of its head, are present on its underside, and its large wings are positioned so that they curve away from its body. Lastly, its legs are small, and its webbed feet dark. They cawed while being in the water before taking flight making Ash and Misty look excited along with Pikachu and Azurill. The swan like Pokémon flapped their white wings and glided over the waters to the other direction of where the four and Pokémon were going before taking flight higher in the sky. With smiles on their faces, the two former travel buddies said in unison with a smile, "Pokémon we've never seen before…"


After a half of an hour, they finally arrive at Juniper's lab after entering the complete city of Nuvema Town passing the everyday life of its citizens, where someone was waiting for them. She was close to Ash's age than Misty or Gary. She had brunette hair that had two ball-like bangs in the front and a ponytail in the back. On her head was a pink and white baseball cap with a pink Poke Ball in the front. Over her casual clothes she wore (a white halter top, a black vest, blue shorts with rips on both sides and pockets that resemble dragon wings, and black and pink hi-top shoes) was a lab coat. She smiled and got up to greet Juniper and her guests.

"Professor Juniper, you came back. I guess it didn't take long after all." The girl stated.

"Not at all, Gary, Ash, Misty, I want you meet one my neighbors and one of my Pokémon trainers that acquired their own starter Pokémon a few months ago, Hilda Whitlea Touko." Professor Juniper introduced.

"Nice to meet you." she said with a smile.

"Nice to meet you Hilda, so what's with the lab coat?" Ash asked noticing the girl wearing a lab coat like Gary's.

"I'm helping the Professor with a few things while I help her with the Pokédex. My friends and brother are on their journeys as well." She spotted Pikachu on Ash's shoulders and said, "So you're a Pikachu, I only read about them from my friend Cheren's books. He's a little bookworm and really knows Pokémon."

Pikachu smiled at the young trainer but his cheeks sparked again. Hilda blinked, not "What's wrong?" she asked.

"We're not sure, but we will run a scan on Pikachu just to be sure." Juniper said and walks into the lab, with Ash, Misty, Gary, and Hilda following after her.

Inside Juniper's Lab, Pikachu sat (with a glum look on his face) in a tube like scanner, with suction cups cables connecting him to the machine from his head, cheeks, sides, and back.

"I don't like this." said Pikachu with a frown.

Gary, Ash, and Misty were in the room as well, along with one of Juniper's aides. Gary stood by the female professor and asked, "So what do you think, Professor?"

"According to Ash, Pikachu was completely enveloped in a strange electric field. But, there are no signs of any problems." Juniper explained.

"Then Pikachu must be fine." Ash said excited and looks back to the electric mouse Pokémon. "That's awesome, you're okay buddy."

Pikachu hopped back on his feet happy but Juniper than added, "Please wait a little while longer Pikachu; I need to run a few more tests."

Pikachu knew it was too good to be true and slump back down. A minute later, one of Professor Juniper's aides walked in said, "Professor Juniper, There's a new trainer ready to start his journey. Hilda is with him right now."

"It's really that time again?" juniper said surprised.

"A new trainer, that's so cool!" Ash said, looking at the Unova professor.

"Like Professor Juniper mentioned before, she has the same job as my grandpa, Elm, Birch, and Rowen, giving new trainers their starter Pokémon, kind of like with May and Dawn, but I heard their day first wasn't the best day." Gary pointed out, remembering it. Then again, Ash didn't either, but that's ancient history.

"Cool Starter Pokémon, I like to meet them." Ash said and Misty agreed. Gary did too and followed Juniper, Ash, and Misty to the main lobby where Hilda and the new trainer were waiting.

In the main lobby, Hilda was staring at an odd watch on her wrist while a boy close to her age was taking pictures of the place. He had dirty blond hair and pale gray eyes, an orange coat over a black hood shirt, tan pants, and blue and white shoes.

"This place looked a lot bigger when the five of us were kids two years ago." The boy said to Hilda.

"I guess. My family and the Junipers have been neighbors since before I was born." Hilda replied back to him.

Hilda and the boy turned around to find Juniper, one of her aides, Ash, Gary, and Misty entering the lobby. The aide was also pushing the cart with three small Poke Balls in a tiny tray and a Pokedex.

"Hello Trip." Juniper greeted. "Welcome!"

"Hi Professor Juniper, I'm finally ready to set off on my journey as a Pokémon trainer." Trip said, walking up to her.

"I know you've waited a long time for this day, welcome to the world of Pokémon." Juniper said.

"So hey, I bet you were so excited last night you couldn't sleep. I felt the same way." Ash spoke.

"Believe him; we meet on his first day." Misty pointed out.

"I left before him with my starter." Gary said, placing a hand on his hair.

"Who are you?" Trip questioned, seeing the three newcomers he never met before. He didn't seem pleased looking at them, or better yet didn't like them.

"Trip, meet Ash Ketchum, a Pokémon trainer from Pallet Town in the Kanto region. And that's Gary Oak, a researcher from Pallet as well and Misty Waterflower, gym leader to Cerulean City." Juniper introduced.

"Hi!" the three said with a smile.

"From Pallet Town, Cerulean City, Kanto region?" he repeated. He then made a slight chuckle making the three Kanto trainers look at him with angry expressions.

"What's so funny?" Gary demanded, clenching his fist in anger.

"I didn't know trainers like you come from the boonies." He admitted, causing the three Kanto trainers to burst out, "What you mean boonies?!"

"Trip, that was uncalled for, they came all their way from their home!" Hilda yelled looking at the boy like he was a completely different person than before.

"You better take that back." Misty growled ready to take out a Poke Ball but Ash held her back.

"Now, now, settle down everyone, it's a very important day." Juniper said, calming down the scene.

"Fine…" Misty, Hilda, and Gary said at once and calmed down. Ash release Misty and look to Hilda. Although he agreed with Hilda about Trip's words, there was something weird in her eyes. They had a fire of anger in them, and it seems it was still directed at him.

Hilda clenched a fist and said to herself, 'What's gotten into you?'

After that was over, Professor Juniper walked back to the cart that contained three Poke Balls, a Pokédex (much different than Ash and Gary's Sinnoh ones), and five empty ones in another tray.

"Now, you can choose your partner from among these three types." Juniper explained and picks up the first ball. "First is Tepig, a fire type!" and tosses it into the air with a smile on her face. Emerging from the Poke Ball was a quadruped, pig-like Pokémon that is primarily orange with black and yellow markings. It has oval eyes, a ruddy pink nose, and a thick stripe of yellow over its snout. The upper portion of its head is black, and its long, pointed ears are positioned closely together on the top of its head. It has short legs with black front feet. A black band covers its lower back and rear. Its curly tail is tipped with a ruddy pink sphere. "Tepig!" it said with an oink and smile.

Misty and Ash kneeled down to greet it smiling to see first of the Unova Starters. "Wow, you're called a Tepig." said Ash excited.

The little Tepig ran around the lobby with excitement on its face, finally stopping to let out flames from its snout.

"That's a fire type, nice and fiery." Ash said cheerfully with a smile.

"Next is Oshawott, a Water type!" said Juniper and tosses the second Poke Ball in the air like the first one. Emerging from the second Poke Ball was a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon. It has a spherical white head with small, triangular dark-blue ears on the sides. Its eyes are dark and its dark orange nose is shaped like a horizontal oval. Several freckles cover its cheeks, and two pointed teeth can be seen when it opens its mouth. The light blue fur on its body forms bubble shapes around its neck. Its arms are white and rounded; while its feet are dark blue with three toes each. It also possesses a rudder-like dark blue tail. It carries a pale yellow seashell called a "scalchop" on its belly. "Oshawott!" it said with a smile.

"Aww, aren't you the cutest?" Ash and Misty said together still kneeled down in eye level with it while Trip pondered from behind them.

The Oshawott blushed a little from the kind words but smiled all the same.

"Finally Snivy, a grass type." Juniper finished and tosses the third and finally Poke Ball into the air. Emerging from the Poke Ball like the first two was a bipedal, reptilian Pokémon with a slender build. Most of its body is green with a cream underside. A yellow stripe runs down the length of its back and tail, and it has yellow markings around its large eyes. Two curved yellow structures that resemble leaves or small wings protrude from its shoulders and bend backwards. Its slender arms have three fingers, while its tiny feet have no digits whatsoever. It has a large, palmate leaf with three prongs on the end of its tail. "Snivy!" it said with pride and its limbs to its sides.

"Wow, this one has plenty of confidence." Ash pointed out.

The three starters stood side by side in a line, waiting for their new trainer to pick one of them. Ash was stilling eyeing the three starters, his hands on his knees before rising up pondering.

"Each one of them would be great to train, so it's going to be one tough choice." Ash said.

"Don't forget, I'm the one who gets to choice." said Trip, his arms folded.

"I know that." Ash admitted to him, but continued looking at the Unova starters while Trip looked at them too with an interest too. "But if it were up to me… That's a good question."

Trip frowned but took out his camera and began to take pictures of the starters, surprising the three Kanto trainers. Trip decided with a calm look on his face. "I've decided I'm choosing Snivy."

Snivy smiled proudly at being chosen as Tepig looked sadden and a now hurt Oshawott stood there in shock gray all over before fall backwards. Hilda felt bad for him; it was her Oshawott's little brother and was really excited to have a trainer, now felt crushed for not picked first. She hoped it finds a great trainer soon. Juniper turned to the cart and held out the Pokédex to Trip with a smile.

"Okay, first of all here's your very own Pokédex!" she said and Trip replied happily, "Thanks Professor!" and gladly takes the Pokédex from the female professor's hands and points it at his new Snivy. Unlike Ash's folded Sinnoh Pokédex as a second screen popped up from behind it showing an image of Snivy and it showed the Grass starter from each side.

Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon. Cool, calm, and collected, Snivy uses photosynthesis to collect energy with the leaf on its tail.

Ash and Misty took a closer look at the Pokédex with interest, excitement, and how it was much different than ones they used but Trip then pocketed it away, to which they were sadden they didn't get to see more of it.

"And here are your Pokéballs; you can carry up to six Pokémon around at a time." Juniper explained and took the Pokéballs from the little tray. "Yeah that's basic." he said taking the tray from Juniper before Juniper held out one of the Pokéballs that held Snivy in it.

"And this is Snivy's Pokéball, take good care of it." Juniper added as Trip took that as well. "Right." he said with a confident smile on his face before pressing the button on the front of the ball to enlarge it and held to his new partner. "All right Snivy, so let's get this journey started!" and with the closed Pokéball, Snivy was sucked right into it by a red beam of light before turning back to the professor.

"Have a great journey, good luck." Juniper said with a kind smile.

"Thanks, thanks for everything." Trip replied with a slight bow to Juniper and head out the lobby, quickly followed by Ash, Misty, and Gary. Ash looked excited to speak to Trip and was first; Gary and Misty decided to follow after him to make sure he was okay alone with the boy. Hilda decided to follow too, just be sure Ash is fine with Trip and to see what was his deal today. Outside the Laboratory, Trip was just about to leave the grounds when Ash called. "Trip, wait up!"

Trip turned around to see Ash, Hilda, Gary, and Misty running up to him. The four trainers stopped on a dime in front of them when the raven haired teen spoke up first.

"Hey Trip, going for Gym battles?"

"That's basic." He said smugly to Ash's words, "Pokémon Trainers go around challenging different gyms and try to win eight badges. So they can enter the Unova League." He added with a cunningly smile.

Misty scowled at the trainer. He didn't have to be so redundant, they know this, but she smiled and said, "That's what Ash will do. He's going to battle all eight gyms, collects all eight badges, and will conquer the Unova League himself. He's rank top four in the Sinnoh league." She said with pride.

Trip eyed the boy with a slight interest but said in a sly tone that even made Gary hate the guy even more, "Really?"

"Ash!" a voice called him.

Ash, Hilda, Gary, and Misty turned to see Pikachu running up them. Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulders as the raven haired teen said, "Pikachu, you done with your tests."

Pikachu nodded to Ash, glad to be finally out of that scanner. Misty looked relieved too, having traveled with the mouse for two years, it wasn't fair knowledge that Pikachu didn't like small spaces very well.

"Who's that Pokémon?" Trip asked and pulled out his Pokédex once more to scan Pikachu on Ash's shoulders.

Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon, and the evolved form of Pichu. Pikachu's tail is sometimes struck by lightning as it raises it to check its surroundings.

Trip took out his camera and took pictures of Pikachu, stilling confusing Misty, Gary and Ash.

"What are you doing?" Ash asked before pointing a finger at the raven haired boy.

"This is why we don't like people from the boonies." Trip said. Misty and Gary looked angry at that word again. If wasn't for their ranks as researchers and gym leaders, they would show him a world of hurt. But they had to be the mature ones and not let the boy provoke them.

He pointed a finger at Ash and added, "Listen up, a Pikachu in Unova is huge, and it's a really big deal."

"It's no big deal; Pikachu is my number one partner and buddy." Ash explained.

Trip look confused, but then smiled slyly. "Is he strong?"

Ash smiled too before replying to Trip. "You bet, wanna see?"

"Sure I do." Trip replied with a smile as well.

Hilda guided the trainers to a battlefield so Ash and Trip could have their battle. Trip stood on one side and Ash on the other. Misty and Gary were standing in the sidelines, waiting for the match to start. Gary had his hands in pockets and Misty still holding

"So who you think will win, Gary?" Misty asked.

"Electric and Grass are neutral damage to one another, meaning if this new Snivy has a basic grass move like Vine whip, it won't do much damage to Pikachu. Now Ash has the experience over Trip, plus Volt Tackle, Iron Tail, and Ash mentioned a new move he taught Pikachu during the break before we came to Unova." Gary explained.

"A new move?" Misty asked Gary, her Azurill wondering that too.

Gary placed his sunglasses on his head. "You'll see." He added.

Ash and Trip were ready for the battle as Hilda announced, "This match is between Ash of Pallet Town versus Trip of Nuvema Town. The match is over when one sides' Pokémon are unable to battle. Our both trainers ready?"

Ash and Trip nodded. Hilda held both her arms up like a referee holding two flags and shouted, "Then let the match begin!"


(Cute Rival Battle music- Pokémon Black and White 2)


Trip took out Snivy's Pokéball from his belt and held it at the ready. "Snivy, go get them now!" and from his tossed Pokéball in a spin and the blue light of the Pokéball too, Snivy emerged from its Pokéball ready to battle.

"Pikachu, you ready?" Ash asked.

Pikachu nodded but they could hear Trip's camera clicking. Misty and Gary looked at the boy too, wondering what he was doing and why taking photos. Ash asked seeing his camera in his hands, "Why are you taking photos for anyway?"

"I'm recording my journey. And remember, this is Snivy's first battle." Trip explained. From behind a tree, Oshawott was watching the battle.

"And this is our first battle in the Unova Region. So we'll go first! Pikachu, use Quick attack!" Ash commanded to the Electric Mouse Pokémon.

Pikachu cloaked himself in the wind and dash his way to Snivy. With one quick bash from his skull, Snivy was hit to which Ash asked confidently, "How's that?" as the Snivy skidded himself back on the battlefield to Trip's side. Trip didn't react, but remained calm. The boy's Pikachu was fast, but he wasn't done yet. "Snivy, Tackle!" Trip commanded to his starter.

Snivy dashed to Pikachu with its feet of the ground, but Ash quickly countered and said, "Pikachu, dodge it quick!"

Pikachu jump passed Snivy, evading it's Tackle by a second. "Good one!" Ash complemented the Electric Mouse Pokémon but Snivy dashed back around to try to Tackle Pikachu again, but Pikachu dodged it again with its impressive speed and agility. Misty and Azurill smiled, it has been awhile for Misty to see her friend battle and he and Pikachu were still in perfect sync. The two respectable Pokémon returned to their Trainer's sides. Now that Ash had a taste of Snivy's speed, he was impressed of the starter, but now it was to go from dodging to real offensive.

"Now, use Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded.

Pikachu's cheeks charged with electricity but then nothing happened. This shocked Misty, Gary, Hilda, and Ash. Still off guard to trying to launch Thunderbolt, Snivy finally charged into Pikachu, causing the yellow mouse to crash to the ground, finally skidding back to Ash.

"Alright Pikachu, use Thunderbolt again!" Ash commanded.

Like before, Pikachu's cheeks charged with electricity, but nothing came out making even Pikachu shocked.

"What's going on, there's no way Pikachu could forget that so easily and no way can a Pikachu be reset." Gary said (A/N 4)

"Hey, what's wrong Pikachu?" Ash asked.

"You're really trying?" Trip said, hand on hip.

"Of course we are!" Ash retorted before commanding, "Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!

Pikachu began to dash his way to Snivy but there was no Thunder cloaked Quick Attack around him. Pikachu began to slow down, panting from losing strength from Snivy's Tackles and from trying to Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle. Misty and Gary watched what had happened and were confused. Now Volt Tackle couldn't work, what's going on? Pikachu was fine, were the tests wrong?

"But why, this shouldn't be happening?" Ash muttered, and then it hit him. What happened in Kanto, arriving in Hoenn, and what's happening now…? Could Pikachu have lost his Electric attacks?

"Oh great, of all the times, why now…?" Ash thought in annoyance.

"Okay, is this some kind of strategy? Calling moves you can even use?" Trip said thinking the bonnie from Kanto was trying or failing.

Ash grunted, but he had to keep cool. If Pikachu couldn't use Thunderbolt or Volt Tackle, he'd have to use the new move now. He was going save for later, but right now it is now or never. 'Please work…" Ash hoped as he called his next attack.

"Pikachu use Brick Break!" he commanded to the Electric Mouse Pokémon

From the ground, Pikachu began to charge energy from his body and to his tail and his tail then glowed white before changing into a red hard tail like a brick. Misty was amazed and so was Azurill, her black eyes wide.

"Pikachu can learn Brick Break?" Misty said amazed but astonished that Ash taught him that.

"Ash got an idea to teach Pikachu that when he departed from Brock. Now it can turn this battle around." Gary explained, placing his hands in his coat pocket.

Pikachu leaped high into the air and was about to slam his Brick Break Tail into Snivy as Trip commanded, "Snivy, dodge it!"

The Grass Snake Pokémon quickly dodged Pikachu's Brick Break attack as Pikachu merely slam into the ground. Ash gasped, Trip smirked, and Misty and Gary felt disappointed. All that hard work has just been dodging by a Snivy. Pikachu then skidded back to Ash's side as Snivy returned to Trip's side. Trip kept his smirking smile as he readied his final move.

"Snivy, use Leaf Tornado!" Trip commanded.

This revealed attack shock Hilda, Misty and Gary, but most of all, Hilda. In Misty's and Gary's point of view, this was a new move, but to Hilda's point of view she was boiling mad. Her hands were balled up tight and veins throbbing,

"But Snivy can't learn Leaf Tornado yet, I should know! I helped take care of my Oshawott's little brother and the others starters. Trip, how?"

Snivy began to spin on his head, as a twister of leaves and wind formed on Snivy's tail.

"What move is that?!" Ash gasped never seeing that move before form any of the four regions.

"Don't know it, do you." Trip said, causing Ash to grunt again. "Go Snivy!"

Snivy's Leaf Tornado traveled its way to Pikachu, scooping him up into the air. There was nothing Ash could do, not even Misty and Gary knew either. Finally Snivy guided the Leaf Tornado that carried Pikachu crashing into the ground. Dust formed from where Pikachu crashed as Ash called out, "Pikachu!"

Oshawott kept his eyes glued to the battle finisher as the dust cleared to find Pikachu in a crater.

Trip turned his attention to Hilda, who still was angry at the sandy blonde boy. He spoke to her and said, "The match is over Hilda, call the winner."

Hilda snapped back from her anger and remembers the outcome of the battle. "Uhh, Ash's Pikachu is unable to continue, Trip's Snivy is the winner. The victory goes to Trip Shootie from Nuvema T…" but gasped, so did everyone else. Trip was shocked beyond belief, there was no way. Ash was shocked too, but he slowly smiled. Misty and Azurill were beyond shocked, but Gary remained calm. There was no way this will end just yet. From the crater, Pikachu slowly but surely rose up from the attack that hit him, his body all covered in scratches and panting slightly. Trip's Snivy smugly smiled at the Pikachu, impressed it survived the attack and still standing. Ash was happy that Pikachu wasn't beaten just yet, but now he had a real problem now. Volt Tackle and Thunderbolt are out the question and his own options are Quick Attack, Iron Tail, and Brick Break. He had to think this out; he can't let Trip beat him now that Pikachu is unable to use its full strength. If only there was to get Snivy off the ground, than maybe he has a chance. He closed his eyes thought really hard what to do, with everyone watching for Ash to attack again and with his Pikachu on his last legs, he had to make this last move count. He opened his back opening finally, his chocolate brown eyes now shining with determination.

"Pikachu, if you can still fight, I want you use Brick Break on the battlefield near Snivy!" Ash commanded making Trip and Hilda puzzled at what was he up to now? Pikachu obeyed and nodded, but felt the aches and pains the Leaf Tornado had have him, but he wasn't going give up now. He didn't give up with Latios; he wasn't going give up now. Pikachu leaped into the air and swing his tail again, now changing into a red tail like a brick and with a mighty slam and cry, Pikachu struck the field bellow, making Snivy shake a little from the impact Pikachu made. Then it wasn't just the Grass starter shaking, but the ground on its feet, as pieces of the field were shot up from the ground with Snivy carried with it. Snivy cried out in panic so did Trip, but Misty was ready to cheer. That's the Ash she knows, when at the end of his rope, he always finds some to pull through.

"Now Pikachu, use Quick Attack to quickly jump on the pieces of field!" Ash commanded the Electric Mouse Pokémon. Pikachu obeyed and while cloaked in white wind, jet up the now floating stone to Snivy as it was panicking now. Trip was too, but yelled out, "Snivy, use Vine Whip!"

Extending from its yellow neck, two green vines came stretching out and heading its way to Pikachu, still in its attack phase, dodged the vines and leaped from the last piece of field and appeared to face Snivy. Snivy with panic and Trip didn't know what the two were up too as Pikachu smiled from above with a smile that read, "You're strong, but when me and Ash do it, we make the impossible possible."

"Pikachu, wrap this battle up with Brick Break!" Ash commanded again.

With the added speed it gained going up here, Pikachu's tail quickly changed again into its brick red form and then slammed it on Snivy, the added force hitting Snivy and splitting the rock under it and went falling down so did Pikachu. The two Pokémon came crashing down with another mighty boom, clouding the field again in dust. Everyone was now on the edge now, wondering did Ash's tactic win or lose? Misty looked worried for Pikachu, hoping it win it, so did Gary. Trip looked worried too, did the boy from Kanto win?

Finally the dust cleared up and it revealed the winner and both sides were shocked. Trip was a loss for words, no way, he really…? Ash was speechless, he didn't expect it. On the broken battlefield with the falling rocks all round stood an beaten Pikachu all covered in scathes from its battle a soft smile on his face and laying in a crater like it was going to have Pikachu in was Snivy knocked out, it's first battle lost. Hilda was stunned but shook it off to say and hold her right arm out, "In a most interesting turn of events, the winner is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!"

Pikachu panted, thinking with a soft smile, "We did it… I know you pull through… Ash…" and finally with its last legs gone, Pikachu collapsed from the battle and into the ground. Ash gasped in shock. "Pikachu!" and ran onto the field to pick up his injured starter. He didn't want to push Pikachu like before, but he had no choose, it was a gutsy move to pull off, but now he had to make sure he was all right. His friends watched on, both happy he won, but worried about what happened to Pikachu.

"I'm impressed, no matter what, those two still pulled through." Gary said in a hushed voice.

"Me too, so that's the power of a Unova starter, incredible…" Misty added in shock and amazement.

"That boy wasn't kidding, even without his electric attacks, he still manage a last minute victory. But we still did our best, I'm glad I chose you." Trip said with an unfazed smile and returns Snivy to his Pokéball. He watched as Ash, Misty, and Gary ran back to the lab, frowning when he looked to Ash's back his eyes narrowed in determination, 'But even so, you are not going get so lucky next time… You're just a stepping stone to my goal…'

Oshawott followed as Hilda was the last one reminding with Trip. Her glare sharply at Trip as Trip asked, "Shouldn't you help your friend?" and Hilda turned sharply around and headed by to the lab, her lab coat flapping in the wind.


The three and Hilda were back in the lab, as both Ash and Hilda explained what happened in the battle. While going to complete detail of Ash's neck breaking win, they explain that this win would happened if Pikachu didn't lose its electric type moves.

"There is still something wrong with Pikachu. I saw no Electric attacks Ash called out." Hilda explained.

Pikachu was once again, hooked to the scanner as Juniper, Gary, and her aide was wondering too.

"It appears Pikachu has suffered an electrical overload." Juniper explained. She looks to Ash. "Ash, has still happened before?"

"Once or twice, it's kind of fuzzy but I know this happened before." He looks to Misty for support on the matter, smiling at her. "Not the best way to start a region, huh Misty?"

"It's better than our crash landing in the Orange Islands." Misty said, remembering that day.

"It must have come from all that electricity Pikachu absorbed in that electrical storm." Gary said, looking to Ash and Misty as well.

"Will Pikachu be alright?" Hilda asked.

"We're not sure, but, it could mean Pikachu can't use Electric type move anymore." Juniper said.

Ash felt sad and look solemnly at Pikachu. If there was nothing they could do, Pikachu could never use its electrical attacks ever again. Just then, the scanners' screen began to fizzle, getting everyone's attention.

"Huh?" Juniper said in confusion.

"What's going on?" Gary and Hilda questioned.

From behind them, Pikachu's cheeks began to spark as his whole body sparked too. Outside, the same dark clouds that was over Nuvema town before has returned and now were over the lab and the town once more. In the center, the blue light appeared once more in a swirling vortex. Everyone was back on Pikachu, his body sparking more electricity that was building in his body. He was struggling, he couldn't take it.

"Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed, hearing his starter small cries of pain.

Professor Juniper look outside the window and gasped. "Gary, that cloud!" Gary looked out the window too, seeing the same clouds as before.

From outside town, the purple haired girl stood on top of a tree branch to see the thunderstorm over Nuvema Town.

"That again..." was all she could say. The storm from before and now again, what was going on?

Back inside the Pokémon lab, the blue lightning thunder struck down and finally hit the lab. More electricity was coming from Pikachu as he cried out in more pain, the machine around them were fizzing and flickering as the light went out. The only thing keeping them able to see one another was the blue light from the thunderclouds and the electrical build up in Pikachu. Pikachu's cries of pain were still heard as Juniper ordered one of her aides, "Reboot the system, hurry!"

The aide grabbed the automated doors and opened them to get out, not seeing Oshawott peer inside, worried.

Juniper look to the clouds and said in disbelief, "It couldn't be… Could it? Could the source of those clouds really be Zekrom, the Legendary Pokémon?"

Hilda gasped Gary and Misty too. Was that the Pokémon Ash saw in those clouds? Hilda stepped forward to Juniper and Gary.

"Zekrom…?" Ash asked.

"Zekrom is quite a legend in these parts." Hilda spoke tonelessly, remembering everything her friend Cheren always tells her, her brother, and her friend. "From within its thunderclouds, Zekrom watches over people and Pokémon. And its thunderbolts are said to be signs from up above and also the pillars that hold up the sky."

Within the thunderclouds, Zekrom's red eye glowed while back in the lab, Pikachu let out a loud cry of pain and electricity, covering the room in his electric attack. Everyone stood there and watch in horror as neither Ash, nor Gary, nor Misty, nor Azurill, nor Juniper, nor could Hilda do about it. The only thing the raven haired teen could do was call out for his starter's name.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's cries of pain and electricity still develop the room as no one knew what the outcome would be. The start of their Unova journey began with strange events coming left and right. An eventual thunderstorm, a new trainer with an odd nature to himself and uneventful win, and now an electrical storm from Zekrom… When everything going on and more, it wasn't over yet as Ash and his friends journey continued…


To be continued...


Michael: And done. Watching the episode is one thing, doing it in a non-script format, not easy. Strange how a 22 minute episode is almost 5,000+ words, creepy I know, so if I get to episode 10 and 11, I'll have my first 100,000 word story, awesome. As you can see, Ash is a lot smarter, as what happened with Pikachu he brings up, even teaching Pikachu a new move. Now I don't follow the 'four move' rule so you'll see some more lengthy battles after episode three. Now Trip, you can tell our heroine Hilda is suspicious with Trip, how he acted, Snivy's Leaf Tornado, looks like a subplot, right? Yes, you are right. And Trip is this story, knows Bianca, Cheren, and Hilbert, making the five of them friends, or so Hilda thought, for how she sees him now. And Brick Break, I used that move instead of Iron Tail to show off Pikachu's power plus get certain fans off my back about the whole Electro Ball thing. And don't get me started on how some reacted to Piplup learning Ice Beam and Oshawott learning Hydro Pump when Palapitoad has it. Oh well. So Hilda's team will be based on my Pokémon Black team that I used to beat the game, plus any reserve members that I thought were interesting from one of my reviews. And I got a few suggestions for Misty's Unova Pokémon and extras for Ash's Unova team. So both Ash's Unova Pokémon and his pre-Unova Pokémon will be used in both gym battles and battles with others. And I'll think of Leaf's team too, since she will be battling the gyms too. Next chapter/episode: Enter Iris and Axew, This one will be tough but since I'll take a break for Dream Drop Distance, might brainstorm ideas. And Ash will have another dragon type, remember Latias? I guess while you are reading this author's note, might talk about team upgrades for Iris, Cilan, Bianca, and others.

Cilan will get an Egg with will contain a Pokémon, in the same episode Ash gets Scraggy's egg. You can decide what it should be as it will hatch the same chapter as Scraggy.

Iris will get a Deino before the Best Wishes 2 arc, making four with Cilan and her.

Bianca will have a Munna and Lillipup with her along with Pignite, so she will have an almost full party.

Ash will have a girl Zoura like Luke's, and will get an Eevee and Riolu in Best Wishes 2.

Hilda will have two Johto, one Hoenn, and one Sinnoh Pokémon to catch in Best Wishes 2

Leaf's Unova team is still in planning, might brainstorm more.

Like I mentioned, Gary and Misty will have new Pokémon too.

Dawn will have some new Pokémon she caught in Hoenn that will premiere in the World Tournament Junior Cup which will have familiar gym leaders there too.

So what do you think of the heroes and Bianca's team upgrades, pretty nice right? Well that is it for this chapter, lunch calls me, and I'm so much like Ash. Oh here's the A/Ns scattered throughout this story.

Edit 2013: I think this is much better than before and yes I changed the battle so Ash won against Trip. I hope people will leave me alone now that Ash didn't lose to a starter (which by the way, are trained and treated by the Professors). And I'll be doing the openings for the English BW, Rival Destines, Best Wishes Two, Episode N, and Decolora Adventure showing small 'spoilers' to each arc. You can skip it if it annoys you.

#1 I love that nod to the Kanto Pokémon, 151. Man we came so far. Now with Kalos (and the mixed reactions to XY), can't wait to work on it soon or do a prolouge and the two episodes next week.

#2 Time for some Pokémon trivia. In HG/SS, the grunts wear black and the elite's wear white, so it's kind of the reverse in the Anime. I guess Jessie is Cassidy's superior now *laughs*

#3 Before BW2, you could only find Azurill in the White Forest post-game in White, now you can find it in BW2 during the main game. Pikachu you can find in the Dream World, so it's rare indeed and the first foreshadowing of the eastern Unova.

#4 If you're a fan with sense, you really don't to hear me rant about how stupid that sounds.
