After leaving Catalia City and gaining some new pokemon, we find our heros walking on a path close to a mountain. The path will take them to Violet City for Ash and Lillies first Gym Battle. "Its a bit cold out" said Lillie a bit cold from the weather.

"we are close to a mountain" said Ash holding Lillie close to keep her warm. "Hey guys look at that!" Misty pointed to a grassy area. The gang looked to see a Chikorita sunbathing. "wow a Chikorita" said Misty remembering Caseys Chikorita. Chikorita emitted a sweet scent. Ash said "Great, time to add a Johto Starter to my roster"

Chikorita woke up and noticed Ash approaching them. She got ready for a battle. "This one looks like a tough one" said Brock.

"But i thought Chikoritas was suppose to be nice?' asked misty

"some pokemon have different personalities" said Brock

"He's right, some sweet pokemon can be very tough just as tough pokemon can be as cute as Togepi" said Lillie. Togepi smiled from her spot in mistys arms.

. Chikorita was ready for Ash to send out a pokemon. Ash said "Murkrow may the Aura guide you!" Murkrow appearred ready for battle. Ash's Murkrow knew the moves, Peck, Shadow Ball, Snarl,Dark Pulse, Double Team, Wing Attack, Night Slash, Steel Wing, and the egg moves Drill peck and Sky attack. Chikorita started the battle with Razor Leaf. the leaves headed straight for Murkrow. "murkrow dodge and use Peck!" said Ash. Murkrow dodge the attack and headed straight for the grass type. Chikorita surrounded herself with Magical leaf before she used the attack. Murkrow took damage from the Attack. Ash whistled "Wow that chikorita is something else"

"Im just getting warmed up" said Chikorita as she formed an energy ball. "Murkrow use Shadow Ball!" said Ash. Murkrow charged up the ghost sphere as she fired it at Chikorita. Chikorita fired her energy ball attack at Murkrow. The two spheres canceled each other out. "Murkrow use Wing attack!" said Ash. Murkrow charge with her wing attack and hit the grass type with the flying type move. Ash tossed a pokeball at it but Chikorita used Vine whip to smack the ball away.

"That is one fiesty Chikorita." said Lillie.

Before the battle could continue. A net came out of nowhere and caught Chikorita. Chikorita was placed in a cage alongside other Chikoritas in a black truck. A man was laughing really hard. "With all of these Chikoritas, ill make a fortune in the black market." he said with greed.

"We wont let you get away with this!" Ash said as the truck drove away. "Murkrow follow that Truck!"

"Right!" said Murkrow as she flew after the truck. Ash and the gang saw a Nurse Joy with a chansey in the road. They told her about the man capturing Chikoritas. "Wild Chikorita are found around here. i cant believe that man is capturing them. We got to stop him" said Nurse Joy.

"My Murkrow is following the truck" said Ash. His bird came back to him. "Ash i found his base."said Murkrow.

"Take us there Murkrow" said Ash. Murkrow nodded as she guided the gang towards the poachers base. The gang climbed up the mountain as they arrived to a cabin with the captured Chikoritas in the truck still. All of them was shivering from the cold. The man smirked as took out the one Ash was going to catch. Chikorita struggled to get free. "Arn't you a fiesty one, You be just the partner i need" said the poacher as he tossed her roughly on the ground. She was shivering from the cold. "Aw is the poor little grass type cold, Here this outa warm you up" said the man releasing a Magmar. "Use Flamethrower!"

Magmar fired a flamethrower attack at Chikorita. she looked at the flames with fear in her eyes,. Ash had enough as he said "Greninja Hydro Pump!"

Greninja used Hydro Pump to cancel out the flamethrower as Ash and his pokemon stood in front of Chikorita. Chikorita looked up at her savior. Ash sent out Heracross as well. "You want to play kid, Magmar use Fire punch!"

Magmar charged at them with Fire punch. "Greninja use Ariel Ace!" said Ash. Greninja used his speed to knock out Magmar. Heracross used Mega horn to knock out the poacher as the gang went to work on releasing the other wild Chikorita. ash knelt down to Chikorita and picked her up. Ash placed the grass type in his jacket.. Chikorita snuggled into his jacket. Snow started to fall as the gang went inside the cabin with the wild chikorita. Litty was on guard duty and kept the poacher in the cage. The next morning after the snow cleared up. we find our heros at the pokemon center. Nurse joy did a complete Check-up on the wild Chikoritas and was thankful that none of them wasn't harmed by the man. A ranger came and arrested the man. The gang was about to exit the center until Chikorita leaped into Ash's arms. "Do you want to come with me Chikorita?" Ash asked the grass type.

"Yes, i would like that Ash" said Chikorita. ash tapped the grass type on the head with his pokeball and caught her. The gang bid farewell to Nurse Joy as they contined on their way to Violet City.

scene change.

After catching chikorita, we find our heros finally in Violet City. Ash learned that his Chikorita was a female and had a bit of a crush on him. He was confused since he was a human and she was a pokemon. Chikorita was told that Ash had a mate already. Chikorita admired Ash and liked to be praised by him. Ash and lillie was ready for the battle against Falkner. Ash was going to use Pikachu and Lugia. Lillie was using Sylvia and Mareep. Ash and lillie trained with their pokemon for the gym battle. Heracross was using his horn to lift rocks. Lugia and Sylvia was flying with Murkrow practicing their ariel attacks. The two was getting bigger everyday. Right now they was the size of Pidgeot. Chikorita was using her vine whip on targets. Ash and Lillies older pokemon was sparing against each other. after training for the gym battle. Tomo and Amber played with their pokemon. Brock and Misty watched from the sidelines. The gang spent the rest of the day relaxing at the violet pokemon center. when nighttime came ash and his friends fell asleep ready for tomarrow.

The next day we find our heros standing in front of the Violet Gym. The Violet Gym was a tall Cylander bulding with a flat circular roof. The gang saw a Pidgeot flew above them. Ash and the gang noticed the bird had a Mega stone in a red scarf. on the Birds back was a man with black hair. "Yes?, can i help you" asked the man as his Pidgeot landed before them.

"Yes, were looking for Falkner, we would like to have a gym battle.' ash asked.

"Challengers Excellent, My name is Falkner and i accept your Challenge" said Falkner. Falkner lead the gang to the roof which was the arena. "I like to have my battles here so my flying types can fly wthout any trouble." "I love Flying with a passion ever since i was a kid "said Falkner. "So which one of you is first."

"ill go first" said Lillie as she stepped up. Falkner nodded as the others went to the stands. "The Gym battle between Lillie Cosmos of Hau oli City vs the Violet Gyn Leader Falkner is about to begin. This will be a two on two battle. only the challenger can switch pokemon. Trainers send out your pokemon." said the ref.

"For my first choice, Hoothoot may the wind guide you" said Falkner releasing a hoothoot. Rotom scanned the owl."Hoothoot, the Owl Pokémon. Hoothoot stands on one leg, but uses both its powerful eyes to see clearly even through the darkest night."

"Mara trial start!" said Lillie releasing Mara.

"Battle Begin!" said the Ref.

"You can have the first move young lady" said Falkner.

"Thanks, Mara use Agility!" said Lillie. Mara knew the moves Agiliy, Thundershock, Electro Ball, Thunder, Power Gem, Confuse Ray and the egg move Iron Tail. Mara ran towards the owl pokemon with agility. "Hoothoot use Hypnosis!" said Falkner. Hoothoots eyes glowed ready to put Mara to sleep. "Mara use Power Gem!" said Lillie. Mara fired Her Power Gem attack at Hoothoot. since Hoothoot is a flying type. it took damage from the rock type attack. hoothoot lost focus and missed. "I'm Impressed that you taught your Mareep a Rock type move." said Falkner

"Thanks, but we're just getting warmed up, Mara use Electro Ball!" said Lillie. Mara formed a sphere of Electricity and tossed it at Hoothoot. "Hoothoot use gust to knock that Electro ball away!" said Falkner. Hoothoot used Gust to make the electro ball crash into the field. Lillie smirked as that is what she wanted him to do. "Mara Thunder!" said Lillie. Mara let loose her thunder attack which hits hoothoot. The owl pokemon fainted from the attack. "Hoothoot is unable to battle." said the ref.

"Great work Mara!" said Lillie opening her arms as Mara came back to her. she hugged the sheep with love. "Thanks Lillie" said Mara. Falkner can see the bond Lillie had with her pokemon. "For my last pokemon Skarmory may the wind guide you!"

Skarmory was a Bird covered in metal plates. Ash pulled out his pokedex to scan it. (Skarmory, the Armor Bird Pokémon. Because Skarmory nests in briers and is constantly scratched by thorns, its wings become razor-sharp.) Ash noticed Skarmory was a darker grey with green feathers instead of light grey with red. 'Thats a Shiny Pokemon!" said Ash. Falkner said "That's right, I recently caught this Skarmory trying to attack the pokemart. This will be our first battle."

"Bring it on" said Skarmory

"Skarmory is a Flying and Steel Type so it might be a problem for Lillie and Mara."said Brock.

"You can do it Mara" cheered the kids and their pokemon.

"Mara use IronTail!" said Lillie starting the battle. Mara went in with Iron Tail towards Skarmory. "Skarmory Steel Wing!" said Falkner. Skarmory wings glowed with Steel Wing. The two clashed with Steel Wing and Iron Tail. "Skarmory Use Flash Cannon!" said Falkner. Skarmory opened his beak and hits Mara with Flash Cannon. Mara crashed into the Arena. "Mara are you okay!" shouted Lillie with worry. Mara was panting a bit but still standing. Lillie looked at Skamory, 'We cant use any electric attacks but we can try this!/ Mara use Confuse Ray!" said Lillie. Mara fired her confuse Ray at Skarmory. "Skarmory use Brave Bird!" said Falkner. Skarmory went in with his Brave Bird dodging the Confuse Ray. "Mara quick Dodge it!" shouted Lillie. Mara wasn't fast enough to dodge the attack. She fainted from the attack. "Mareep is unable to battle, Trainer send out your last pokemon" said the ref.

Lillie recalled Mara to her pokeball. "Thanks Mara, you earned a good rest' said Lillie. She pulled out Sylvias pokeball. "Sylvia Trial Start!" Sylvia appeared in a flash of light. She was ready to battle. Falkner was shocked that she had a Lugia, A legendary pokemon found here in Johto. "are you sure the Lugias are ready to battle?' Misty asked brock.

"Yeah, even though shes a legendary pokemon, she is just a Baby." said brock.

"Skarmory, we are facing a Lugia. Give them everything you have." said Falkner. Skarmory nodded as it focused on Sylvia. "Sylvia this will be your first battle." said Lillie. Sylvia nodded at her trainer. Sylvia knew Aeroblast, Whirlpool, Dragon rush, Extrascensory, Hydro Pump, Dragon Tail, Safeguard, and Psyshock. Ash's Lugia knew the same moves since they was born at the same time. "Skarmory use Flash Cannon!" said Falkner starting the battle. Skarmory fired its flash cannon at Sylvia. "Sylvia use Safeguard!" said Lillie. Sylvia used Safeguard to protect herself from the Flash cannon. "Use Whirlpool!"said Lillie. Sylvia spinned until she was surrounded by a Water Cyclome. Skarmory took damage from the Whirlpool. "Skarmory use Steel wing!" said Falkner. Skarmorys wings glowed as it got ready to use Steel Wing. "Sylvia use Dragon Rush!" said Lillie. Sylvia used Dragon rush and clashed with skarmorys steel wing. Skarmory was sent back a bit. "Sylvia use Aeroblast!" said Lillie. Sylvia fired her signature move at Skarmory. Skarmory took more dramage from the Aeroblast. "skarmory can you still battle?" asked Falkner earning him a nod from the bird. "Great use Brave Bird!"

Skarmory charged in with Brave Bird. Lillie said "Counter it with Dragon Tail Sylvia!" Sylvias tail glowed green as she clashed with Skarmorys brave bird attack. Sylvia overpowered the steel bird and sent it crashing into the arena. Skarmory fainted from the attack. "Skarmory is unable to battle. The victory goes to the challenger" said the ref. Lillie said with a big smile as Sylvia landed before her. "You did great girl" She hugged her neck as Sylvia cooed at her trainer. Falkner recalled Skarmory and thanked it for its hard work. He approached Lillie with one of his assistants holding a box. "That was a good battle, It was an honor to face a Trainer that has a Lugia." he said

"My boyfriend also has a Lugia and he is using him for the gym battle." said Lillie giving ash a smile. Falkner looked at Ash before he said "I will be looking foward to our battle. but first i must give you proof that you defeated me is this, The Zephyr Badge"

The Zephyr Badge was in the shape of a pair of wings colored Silver. Lillie took the badge from him before she went to the sidelines to cheer on Ash. Ash took his place on the battlefield as the ref explained the same rules as the last one. Falkner said For my first choice, Dodrio i choose you!"

Dodrio appeared ready for battle. Ash said "Pikachu may the Aura guide you!"

'oh yeah bring it on!" said Pikachu. his cheeks was sparking. "you may have the first move Ash" said Falkner. Ash nodded at him before he said "Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Pikachu let loose a thunderbolt attack at Dodrio. "Dodrio dodge it!" said Falkner. Dodrio even though it cant fly was super fast as it dodged the thunderbolt. 'That is one fast pokemon" said Tomo.

"Dodrio are the fastest bird to run on land since they can't fly." said Lillie. "Dodiro Tri Attack!" said Falkner. The three heads fired a red yellow and blue orb at Pikachu. "Pikachu use Protect!" said Ash. Pikachu covered himself in a green dome. The attack hits the shield. 'Now use Volt Tackle" said Ash. Pikachu ran as he formed Volt Tackle, Falkner said "Dodrio dont let Pikachu get close to you!"

Dodrio kept on running trying to keep away from pikachu. ash had this planned as Pikachu got close to Dodrio. "Pikachu Jump and use Mega Electro Ball!" Pikachu jumped as he formed a Large electro ball from the Volt tackle. Pikachu tossed the sphere at Dodrio. "Dodrio get out of there!" said Falkner. Dodrio got hit by the electro ball and fainted. "Dodrio is unable to battle" said the ref.

"Great job buddy" Ash praised his starter. Falkner recalled his dodrio before he looked at Ash. "That last move was something ive never seen before. Now i will shw you my strongest pokemon, Pidgeot may the wind guide you" said Falkner. his Pidgeot appeared in the air. Ash asked Falkner "What kind of mega stone is that?'

"That is a Pidgeotite. My Pidgeot can mega evolve with it." said Falkner as he pressed the keystone. "My friend, Mega Evolve!"

Pidgeot glowed as it Mega evolved into Mega Pidgeot. Mega Pidgeot was alot larger now with the tip of its wings and tailfeathers blue and its cream color was replaced with white. The eyes was now red. its mane was longer with the yelloe feathers. Ash was amazed that pidgeot can mega evolve. "So Ash what do you think of my Mega Pidgeot." asked Falkner.

"It looks strong because i also have a Pidgeot." said Ash. Falkner smirked before he gave the first command. "Pidgeot use Gust!" Pidgeot used it large wings to create a gust attack. "Pikachu quick use your tail as a anchor!" said Ash. Pikachu used his tail to stay still in the gust attack. "Use Quick Attack!" said flew i with a quick attack. "Pikachu use Quick attack as well!" Ash said. Pikachu and Pidgeot clashed with their Quick Attacks but Pidgeot was alot bigger than pikachu and made the mouse crash in the arena. "Pikachu you alright?" asked Ash

"Yeah im good" said pikachu ready for more. "Pidgeot use Quick attack again" said Falkner. Pidgeot flew in again with Quick Attack. "Pikachu dodge it with Iron Tail!" said Ash. Pikachu waited for the bird to get close before he jumped over the Bird with iron tail. He was now on the birds back. "Clever move Ash!" Cheered Misty.

Ash said "Pikachu give it a thunderbolt!"

Pikachu used Thunderbolt on Pidgeot as he was on its back. Pidgeot took damage from the attack since it was a flying type and weak to electric types. "Great job buddy" said Ash. Falkner can see the bond the two had. "Pidgeot spin to get pikachu off your back!"

Pidgoet began to spin in a circle. Pikachu was doing his best to hold on but he lost his grib. "Oh-no Pikachu!" said Ash with worry. "Finish it with brave Bird!" said Falkner. Pidgoet used Brave Bird on pikachu. Pikachu crashed into the ground. He was knocked out from the attack. "Pikachu is unable to battle, Trainer send out your next pokemon."

Ash went onto the field and picked up Pikachu. "you did great buddy, now rest up" he said to the mouse. He went over to Lillie as she took pikachu in her arms. Falkner can see the love Ash had for his pokemon. Ash went back onto his side of the field. He said "Lugia may the aura guide you!"

Lugia appeared in the sky as he let out a screech to his first opponnet. falkner and his workers was shocked that Ash had a Shiny Lugia. "Lugia be careful, that Pidgeot is very strong in its mega form." ash said to his pokemon. "I am ready to battle" Lugia said to his dad. Sylvia came out of her pokeball to support her Brother. "Pidgeot we are facing a Lugia, give me everything you have" said Falker. Pidgeot squawked at its trainer. "Pidgeot use Quick Attack!" said Falkner.

"Lugia use Dragon Rush!" said Ash. Lugia and Pidgeot went at each other with Quick attack and Dragon Rush. They kept it up for several more minutes clashing in the sky with their attacks. "Lugia use Extrascensory!" Lugia's eyes glowed as he stop Pidgeot in its tracks. "Toss it away from the area." said Ash. Lugia let the bird go as it flew to recover. "Use Aeroblast!" said Ash. Lugia opened his mouth and fired his signature move at Pidgeot. "Pidgeot use Hyper Beam!" said Falkner. Pidgoet fired its hyper beam attack which clashed with Aeroblast. Lugia appeared above Pidgeot. "Finish it up with Dragon Tail!" Lugias tail glowed green as he hits the bird with Dragon Tail. Pidgeot crashed into the arena. Pidgeot fainted as it reverted back to its normal form. "Pidgeot is unable to battle. The victor goes to Ash Ketchum" said the ran over to Lugia who landed. "you were awesome for your first battle Lugia" said Ash hugging his neck.

"Thank you papa" said Lugia as Lillie came to join them. misty said "That was a great battle ash, you and Lugia was great'

"Thanks misty" said Ash. Falkner recalled Pidgeot to its pokeball. "Thank you my friend, take a good rest" said Falkner. He approached Ash with his assistant holding a box. "Ash, you have done a fine job raising your pokemon. Tell me, how did the two of you catch a lugia?" He asked. Ash and Lillie told him they got them while in the Orange Islands. "I see, you two have gave me a great battle. Ash, as proof that you defeated me is the Zephyr Badge."

Ash took the badge from him. "Thanks Falkner" he thanked the man until Falkner pulled out a Pidgeotite from his pocket and gave it to him. "I found this spare Pidgeotite with the other one found. I want you to have it" said Falkner.

"Thanks Falkner" pocketing the Mega Stone into his bag. Ash and lillie recalled their Lugias and left the gym. They was back at the center getting thier pokemon check. Lillie looked at the tv and saw that the next pokemon contest was in Azalea Town. "Great, the Nex gym is in Azalea Town" said Tomo

"and its where Kurt lives. We got to drop the GS ball to him" Ash finished Tomos sentence.. Ash and the gang recollected their pokemon and left Violet City for their next destination.
