Doing Things Differently
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I own only the characters that show up when Ash is wondering certain regions and gets certain Pokemon. I own the characters there.
Summary: Ash is given Pikachu in the beginning. What if Pikachu ditches him in his time of need. What is another pokemon takes place of his starter. He takes to the world differently and is colder. He wants to be the best of trainers. Watch out world.
Answers:
kyunaru: I like Scyther. I was thinking of having Ash catch one in the Safari Zone. I always loved Scizor too. But Gary has one so I don't want Ash to have many of his rivals pokemon.
senpen banka: I agree. Ash is pretty young. He might blush and do some things to flirt with girls, but that's all he will do. I think Sabrina is a excellent choice for him! He has Aura and with her Psychic powers she can make him have a stronger bond with his pokemon.
I.C.2012:Thanks. Pikachu is living in the woods of route 1 and Pallet Town. Ash will run into him again in the future. He will not be a kind person around Pikachu cause all he will see is a coward. He won't be like abusive but very cold and hard. He will be cold with his Charizard in the future too. I personality thought Charizard was a douche in the anime. If I had a pokemon acting like that to me with all the things I did for it, I would be cold and hard on it.
darkmachines: Thanks. Ash might catch Krabby. He will be catching Muk (he's awesome).
Iggychan89: He will run into Pikachu on his way back from getting the Kanto League. I'm thinking of a good time for that.
Lover if A Good Story: Yes. I haven't seen many of those stories. I wanted Ash to be different and be more mature then his other self. He'll still have his moments but will be more mature. Sense he learned the hard way. Pikachu in this fic is a coward.
Bear0874: I like Sandshrew. I'll think about the shiny part. I haven't always understood shiny pokemon.
Fanfic meister: I have a few electric types for him. I was thinking of a Magneton, and Jolton for Kanto. Getting more types later. He is definitely getting Houndoom in the future. It's totally an Ash pokemon. Ninetales in the future. I think him getting that old Ninetales would be a good idea. Zangoose sounds cool.
Trinty Fenton-Phantom: I think a Scyther would be great. He will be catching pseudo-legendary. I don't think him getting a legendary pokemon would be a good idea. It'll make him to gary-shu...
avengemee: Misty is going to get some new types and some she won't get. I won't tell but 2 types she isn't getting in the canon. She is getting Oddish, Tentacuel, Jigglypuff and some others. Ash is getting his starters. He won't have Pidgeot. I want him to have a strong relationship with Spearow.
OracionMist: Pikachu will show again. It'll see Ash during the time for episode. I'll wait for Ash to come back. It will regret leaving him. Ash will be harsh with him. Ash will have many types. I'm looking at dark, scary, and misunderstood types for him. Team Rocket will be hear just not much.
Swagnilla-Ice-1985: I told myself, he is gonna have a Magneton and an Eevee sometime. So in ths story he will be getting one.
Noshadowone:He will have a grudge against them. He hates electric rodents and doesn't respect them. Just start imagining how it's gonna be in that episode Pikachu's Goodbye, Meeting 's Raichu, And meeting Richie. It will Ash a very angry boy.
The lone wolfos: I want to stick to the original story line. No one else in the beginning caught the new generation. I want Ash to stick to the original a little. He will find some types and catch a little.
Dragonamy21: Thanks. I thought that would have been a good part for Ash to get his new starter. He will have some dragon types later. He is having psychic types. I was thinking of Hypno, and Slowbro so far.
Pokemon Ash has so far:
Spearow: Talon (male)
Magikarp: Mystic (female)
Shellder: Gem (female)
Ekans: Naga (female)
Mankey: Champ (male)
Pinsir: Spike (male)
Beedrill: Videl (female)
Ash is a ladies man... Has more girls then Brock will ever get. ;)
Listed is what I think could work in the next chapter:
Sandshrew
Butterfree
Onix
Meowth
What do you think? Name any others you would think will work with him and this story.

Pokemon Opening: Kanto
Last Time on Starting Things Differently:
"Oh so you have a Pinsir yourself. Very nice." Samurai smiled. Ash nodded eating his soup. Misty looked disgusted. "Can we not talk about creepy bugs at the dinner table?" Samurai looked at her, "Shrieking maiden you don't like bugs?" Misty glared, "Bugs are one of the most disgusting things in the world!" Samurai was taken back at this.
Ash sighed. Here we go again. After Misty's statement the samurai looked at Ash in pity dealing with the girl. "She's a character." He retorted. Then he got hit with a mallet. "What was that Ketchum?!" Misty screamed. Ash just layed on the floor groaning. Samurai wisely kept his mouth shut.
That night Ash and Misty set up their sleeping bags. The Samurai went to bed already and Ash looked out towards the windows. 'Tomorrow is another day. Beating Brock is my next goal!'
Present:
It was in the morning. Ash woke up with the sunlight in his face. He groaned and looked to see Misty starting to stir. He saw Samurai already up and walking about. He yawned and got up. He stretched after getting out of his sleeping bag. Samurai turned, "Morning Ash." He placed a bowl of apples on the table. Ash smiled, "Morning."
"I wish you good look in Pewter young trainer." Samurai retorted. Ash smiled and thanked him. "I wish you good luck with defeating other trainers who come this way." Samurai smiled at that. "Thank you. I will in that honor!"
Misty got up and approached the table. She saw the apples and smiled. "Oh apples! Thanks for letting us stay the night and giving us some food!" She said. She munched on an apple afterwords. Ash laughed grabbing one himself. "Yeah thanks for the hospitality." He answered with a smile. "It was no trouble. I should be thanking you for your battling and story." Ash blushed and sheepishly scratched behind his head. "It was nothing."
After getting themselves packed up Ash and Misty smiled and said goodbye to their new friend Samurai. They waved and continued their way to Pewter City.
Ash and Misty were walking down a rocky pathway that lead into Pewter City. They chattered to themselves about the city and getting supplies. Ash looked ahead and saw the ledge. He smiled and ran to the edge on a big boulder. The wind blowing his hair.
He looked down at the scenery in amazement. "Yay! Pewter City!" Misty exclaimed. Ash sighed in relief. "Foo.. I thought for sure, I was gonna be in that forest for the rest of my life." Then he head a voice.
"Pewter City is grey the color of stone. This town has always been famous for stone." Ash peered down on the builder and saw a older man sitting down on the ground sitting near a bunch of rocks. He was a darker skin man that looked bronze. He had dark brown hair with a wild beard. He wore a red beanie. He had a fainted yellow muscle t'shirt. His pants were a worn-out forest green and had hiking brown boots on. Ash couldn't see his face because of him being on the rock.
"Huh? What the?! Who's this old guy?" He questioned. "Never met him." Misty retorted. "The name's Flint. And your sitting on some of my merchandize young man." The man Flint stated.
"Oh! Sorry. Ehhh..." Ash said with a stutter. He jumped off the boulder in an instant. He then looked at the prices on the rocks. He sweat-dropped. "You mean you sell rocks?" Ash questioned. "Their Pewter City souvenirs. Want to buy some?" Flint asked. "No thanks. I'm traveling and trying to become a strong pokemon trainer!" Ash stated.
Flint looked at Ash then retorted, "You look a little worn out you two. How about I take you young trainers to the pokemon center? Follow me." With that he got up and brushed himself off. He walked off and Ash blinked owlishly.
"See? Looks can be deceiving. He's a nice guy." Ash said with a smile. "Are you sure." Misty questioned. Then Flint appeared again and said, "By the way that'll be a $2 charge for resting on my rocks." They both look wide-eyed and fell over at that. "So much for being nice." Misty said. "Live a little Misty." Ash retorted.
They got themselves to the pokemon center. They thanked Flint and waved him off. Ash walked over and grabbed a pokeball tray. Ash placed his team on then to get healed. He went up to the corner and placed it on the table in front of Nurse Joy. "Please revitalize my pokemon?" Nurse Joy smiled, "Sure! Right away Ash." Ash blinked. "Nurse Joy? You know me?" The nurse smiled, "Professor Oak contacted us a while ago that you would be coming this way. He was very worried about you." Ash gave a faint grin. 'Good old Professor Oak.'
Ash was happy to know the elder man was thinking about him. He brought his hand to his eye knowing Professor Oak had a reason to be concerned for this.
Nurse Joy saw this action and said, "I heard what happened and sorry for the accident." Ash saw her look of concern and smiled, "It's alright. It serves as a reminder for me to become a stronger trainer. And expect the unexpected." Nurse Joy nodded at that logic.
"Well if that's the case. Good luck with the gym battles. You should look at that poster behind you." Nurse Joy stated and with that she grabbed his tray and walked back to heal his pokemon. Ash turned around and saw the poster. It said Pokemon League: Regional Championships. It said in big letters to enter the competition.
"Wow. Pokemon League Regional Championships alright!" Ash smirked at that. Misty looked at the poster carefully. "You have to defeat 8 gym battles and win their badges as proof. Can you do that Ash?" Misty stated. Ash glared, "Oh course, I can. You've seen me and my pokemon!"
"Ha ha ha! Don't tell me that you plan on challenging Brock the Pewter City gym leader?" Flint said walking towards them. Ash narrowed his eyes, "Oh course I do! As soon as my team is done and healed. I'll have no problem. Take me to this Brock's gym. I'll beat him!" Flint looked at Ash unimpressed. He even started laughing again, "Ha ha ha! You'll beat him. Ha ha ha." Ash glared at the man walking away.
"Oooo that Flint! Trying to make a fool out of me!" Ash said while they were sitting at a local restaurant. They were eating their lunch. "Do you think you can win?' Misty stated. "Gym leaders are different from your everyday pokemon trainer. Their much much tougher!" She said looking pointedly at him. Ash was eating his white rice and stared at her calmly. His hollow brown eye scaring her a little.
"I'll win this battle. From what I heard Brock likes to use rock type pokemon. I got just the right pokemon that can great against him." Ash stated putting his rice down. Misty looked at him and thought about it. Her eyes widened remembering the types he had. "Oh right! I forgot." She said sheepishly. Ash laughed, "It's alright." They both finished their meal and waited for the bill. They looked it over and sighed. "Half-and-half?" Ash retorted. Misty nodded.
They made their way back to the pokemon center and Ash found that his pokemon were healed. "Well Ash. No more waiting. Your pokemon are all back to normal." Nurse Joy said with a smile. "Oh that's great! Thank you Nurse Joy." Ash said with a grin. She nodded and watched him walk off. "Good luck Ash."
Ash and Misty stared at the gym before them. It was a gym made out of huge boulders. It looked cool and intimating. They looked at it with awe. They shook themselves out of sputter and walked towards the building. Ash opened the doors and peered in. It was pitch darkness.
"Hello?" He walked in with Misty following in behind him. "Who goes there?" He heard a voice question in the darkness. A light turned on and Ash turned to see an older boy sitting on some steps on a boulder flat.
He appeared to look about 15 from what Ash gathered. He was a bronze skinned looking boy with wild brown spiky hair. He had a stern looking face with his eyes clenched shut which Ash wondered about silently. He wore a copper t'shirt and a light forest green camo vest. He was wearing a pear of worn light brown jeans and dark brown belt. His shoes were black. He had a stern looking aura around him that made Ash a little weary.
"Ah. So you must be Brock? I'm Ash from Pallet Town. I challenge you!" Ash stated looking at Brock. The gym leader looked at Ash calmly, "Is this your first gym match?" Ash froze. "Um... Yeah." Brock looked at him, "A gym match is different from other battles. This match is for pokemon league authorization. There are special rules." Ash looked at Brock uncertain then snapped out of it. "What do you mean by special rules?"
"We will both use 2 pokemon each. Understood?" Brock stated standing up. Ash nodded. "How long have you been a trainer?" Brock questioned. "About 2 weeks." Ash retorted. "That's to short. This match will be quick." Ash looked pissed off at this statement. "Hey! Watch what you say about that." Ash's eyes blazed scaring Brock a bit with his hollow looking one.
"Let's get this match over with!" With that Brock snapped his finger and the lights came on. The building came to life and doors went up. Misty held on to Ash looking around. Ash saw the rocks and area for the battlefield coming together. He and Misty ran off the field just in time to avoid getting crushed by rocks.
Brock jumped down off his stairs with a huff, "Let the match begin!" He stated holding up a pokeball. Ash smirked, "Alright! I'm game with that." He took off his bag and handed it to Misty. She looked at Ash uncertainly and he nodded showing he'll be fine. She gave a faint grin and walked a bit away to watch in safety. Ash grabbed his a pokeball from his belt.
"Alright Champ time for a battle!" Ash said and threw his Mankey. It hit the ground with a bang. It screeched in happiness and chattered. Ash gave a grin at this. Brock saw this and gave Ash some good points to use a fighting-type against him.
"Onix go!" Brock yelled as he threw his pokeball. It hit the ground and lit up. It glowed and became a huge rock snake. Mankey blinked a few times at his opponent. Ash looked a little worried, but knew his pokemon would be save. "Champ you can do it!"
"Onix tackle attack!" It went at Mankey with a fierce tackle. Ash shouted, "Fury swipes followed by a Karate Chop" Champ screeched and attacked. Onix roared and tried to slither away. "Use Karate Chop again Champ!" The Mankey screeched in agreement. Brock growled, "Onix use bind!" Onix roared and grabbed the Mankey. It screeched in distress. Ash glared, "Mankey Screech attack and Scratch!" The Mankey obliged and Onix roared with pain.
"No! Onix!?" Brock said watching his rock snake in pain. "Use Seismic Toss Champ to finish it!' The Mankey grabbed the gaint rock snake and lifted it as much as it could. It swinged and swinged the snake and sent it flying. It hit the wall with great force. "Onix!" Brock shouted and ran after his snake. He kneeled and looked him over. "You did great. Time for some rest." With that Brock returned his rock snake. "No bad Ash. Not bad at all. Not many people can defeat Onix."
"Well I'm different then most people. Champ is a strong pokemon himself." Ash retorted. He saw Champ looked winded and thought maybe it was time to use someone else. "Alright Champ return for some rest." He returned his pig monkey and pulled out his other pokemon. Brock went and pulled out his new one too.
"Go Geodude!" The pokeball hit the ground and a flying boulder with arms appeared. Ash blinked then shook his thoughts away. "Go Gem! I choose you!" Hitting the ground came Ash's purple shelled pokemon. It blinked a bit and saw the Geodude. It screeched and watched its opponent.
"Geodude Rock Throw!" The rock-type grunted. It used that attack and Shellder watched. "Gem use Withdraw and hit it with Icicle Spear!' Gem cooed and retreated into it's shell. Once the rocks hit her she popped out her shell and hit Geodude full on with her chunks of ice. It grunted in pain. Brock watch amazed by this. "No! Geodude!" Ash stared and shouted, "Finish it with Clamp attack!" Shellder clamped it and Geodude couldn't handle it anymore. It fell and groaned. Brock looked and couldn't believe he lost. "Return Geodude." He couldn't believe it. He watched Ash get onto the field.
"You did great girl." Ash said with happiness looking at his shelled water type. He petted her shell gently and she gave small cooes. Ash laughed. "Ash you won this battle. I reward you with this badge." Ash smiled looking at the Boulder Badge. He heard Brock asking, "If you don't mind me asking. You do a great job taking care of your pokemon. What do you usually do? I can see they really like you."
Ash smiled at that, "I'm myself and look at them to see what they like." Brock nodded at this. "You seem like a great trainer. You beat me at battle and being kind to all pokemon." Ash looked wide-eyed at Brock. "But." Brock shook his head. "To tell you the truth, I get more pleasure from raising pokemon then from making them battle. I don't care about being a great pokemon trainer. I want to become the world's best breeder! But I can't leave here because, I have to look after my brother's and sister's." Brock said silently. Ash looked on in sadness.
"Ash! I want you to take this badge and continue my dream! Will you do that for me?!" Brock stated holding out the gym badge. Ash looked at Brock and gave smile, "I will! I'll also do my best to become a even better trainer to deserve these badges." He walked over to grab the badge.
"Brock... You go follow your own dreams." Brock and Ash turned to see Flint standing beside Misty. The said girl blinked at this. "Flint?" Ash asked. Flint looked disgruntled and took of his hat and wig. It showed a much old version of Brock. Ash heard Brock gasp.
"My father." He said in a dark tone. "You go on Brock and become the breeder you want to be. It's time for me to take care of my family." Flint said walking over to Brock. He stared at his son regretfully. "It's time for you to faithful your dreams and mine." Brock stared hard at his father, "First there is some things that I have to tell you." Flint nodded as Brock went into his vest, "After all these years, I understand how you must feel about me. So I want you to get everything off your chest."
"Here." Brock handed Flint a sewing needle and thread. Flint sweat-dropped, "Eh!?" Ash have to stifle a laugh. "Suzie always rips her dresses so you better learn how to sew. And Timmy only eats cold spaghetti breakfast. Tommy likes cornflakes for dinner." Brock retorted while Flint freaked. "Slow down! Slow down! I can't write down that fast!" Brock continued on, "Cindy sleepwalks so you have to tie a bell on her wrist, the twins never want to take a bath so you have to..." Ash couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed.
Brock was all set and ready for the journey. They left the Pewter gym at night. While walking in darkness, Ash smiled at his new travel companion. "Hey Ash. Are you sure, it's ok for me to go with you on your pokemon journey?" Brock asked looking unsure. "Sure, I'm sure! The more the merrier! And it's good to have someone else to talk with!" Brock laughed. Misty glared, "Is my company to much for you Ash!?" Ash looked nervous, "Not at all Misty." Brock could tell traveling with these two will be fun.
Ash and his new friends started hiking their way to Mt. Moon. He was ideally looking at the landscape. Ash liked this forest hiking trail. " ! Doesn't that name sound so romantic?" Misty questioned while walking. Brock gave a smile, "People say that a meteor crashed into the mountain back in prehistoric times." Ash looked at the mountain closely, "A meteor?" Misty looked as well, "Is it really true?" Brock looked at them, "The meteor is called the Moonstone." Misty looked excited at that, "Now that's romantic!"
Just then Ash and the gang heard a yell in the arm. They looked alarmed. "Look over over!" Ash pointed seeing higher in the trail a swarm of Zubat. "It's a whole herd of Zubat!" Ash pulled out his pokedex.
Pokedex Zubat: A blind pokemon with supersonic powers. Zubat live in caves and hate to fly outside in daylight.
They saw a man on the ground trying to make himself small to avoid getting attacked by the Zubat. Ash's eyes narrowed at that. It was just like him and the Spearow. He growled, "Naga! I choose you." His Ekans popped out and hissed. "Use Poison spray on those Zubat!'
"Ekkkanssss!" Naga hissed and released her posion spray. The Zubat's squeaked at this and started to fly frantically. The man turned and saw the snake and hitting the blind bats with it's stings. His eyes widened. The bats flew away in fright. Ash glared at them and then ran to the downed man.
"Oh o oh." The man on the ground groaned. "Are you ok?" Ash said getting to the man. Naga slithering over beside her master. The man instantly jumped up and scared Ash. The strange man hugged him then.
"You guys are the greatest!" The man stated. "Really? It was nothing." Ash said in the man's clothes. The gang looked on in wide eyes. Naga started to hiss. "I'm talking super-fantastic! I'm talking to thumbs up! The best rescue I ever had!" Naga hissed and got in between the two. She didn't like her master being squished.
"They say man's best-friend is a pokemon and with your Ekans I can tell it's a good friend. I can believe it would do anything for you." The man said fixing his glasses. Naga stopped hissing and stared at the man then looked to her trainer. She gave a contented hiss in satisfaction. "Oh that's great!' Ash said with a smile. "I'm so moved! I never thought, I could see a great interaction with someone life you and your pokemon! I'm so happy that 2 heros saved me. I'm so glad that I'm alive! I'M ALIVE! Thank you so much! Thank you!"
The gang all looked at the man with weird looks. Naga slithered up her trainers bode and rested on his shoulders. "He certainly doesn't look like a poetic type." Misty questioned. The man got up from his antics and grabbed Ash's hands. "Did I mention how grateful, I am." Ash looked at him weird. "Yeah. Um. Anyway why were the Zubat attacking you Mr?"
The man jumped at that sentence. "Never call me Mr! My names Seimore! Seimore the Scientist! Knowledge! Research! I'm Seimore the Scientist!" Ash and the gang looked on with sweat-drops.
Seimore then got up to lead them to the cave. "See? The cave is all lit up inside. Somebody has sprung these lights through the whole cave. But the pokemon need the dark. These lights are upsetting them and making them confused." The Scientist said sadly while leading them down the cave. Indeed hanging on the walls of the cave were a string of lights. Naga hissed and curled around Ash's neck tighter. He smiled and petted her scales.
"Which is probably why the Zubat left the cave and attacked you." Brock stated. "Look here! These Paras are planting their mushrooms everywhere and all these lights are drying up these Sandshrew." Ash saw the poor hard-coated mouse panting. He walked over and kneeled down. "Hey are you ok little guy?" The Sandshrew looked over to the boy and squeaked. Ash gave a small smile and went into his bag. He got a water bottle and bowl. "Here you go little guy! Here's some water for you and your friends." Ash said with a grin. Naga gave a smile and nuzzled at her trainers kindness. Brock and Misty had to smile at Ash's actions. Seimore blinked in astonishment.
"You a really nice boy. That's why I'm here as well. I'm controlled to protect the mountain from the trouble-makers attack against these caves." Seimore stated. The others blinked at this, "Trouble-makers? Why attack a cave?" Misty asked. Seimore stopped, "I'm afraid it's because of the Moonstone." They stopped and Ash asked, "The Moonstone?" Seimore looked down at Ash and smiled, "Exactly. The Moonstone is a awesome boulder who is a million years old or older. Deep in the cave the meteor hides. Though no other explorer has found the place the legendary rock from space." The others looked at each other at the Scientist antics. "We studied its fragments for many an hour and it increases a pokemon's power. And that is why the attackers are here! They've come to take the Moonstone or so I fear." Seimore said with worry.
"The Moonstone..." Ash blinked at that. "Ever sense when, I was a little boy, I believed the pokemon came to earth from outer space." Seimore stated. The others went wide-eyed, "From outer space!" Seimore grinned, "Yes!" They looked at him with strange expressions. "And where you ask where the space craft that brought them to earth? In this cave. It's the Moonstone." Seimore stated.
"It sure is a original theory." Misty said. They looked at Seimore with question in their eyes. "But don't you see?! It means it belongs with the Pokemon! We humans must not take it from them!" The Scientist yelled then looked at Ash intently. He jumped and grabbed Ash's shoulder's with Naga hissing with concern. "Ugh!" Seimore stared at Ash with intense eyes. "You agree with me don't you?!" Ash looked nervous and nodded frantically. Naga glared at Seimore incase, he did anything funny with her trainer.
Just then a Clefairy jumped by. It brought everyone out of their stupor. It jumped up and down with content. Ash laughed at it's cuteness. Ash pulled out his pokedex.
Pokedex Clefairy: This impish Pokémon is friendly and peaceful. It is believed to live inside Mt. Moon, although very few have ever been seen by humans.
He was gonna go after it when he felt a tug on his jeans. He looked down to see a Sandshrew looking up at him. Ash blinked then gave it a small smile. "Hey little guy. Where did you come from?" Sandshrew squeaked and lifted a bowl, "Oh! Your the Sandshrew, I gave the water bowl to." It nodded and handed it to him then went up to nuzzle his leg.
Ash smiled and rubbed the hard-coated mouse. It squeaked in happiness. "Well I can't stay here for long little guy. My friends and I need to go after that Clefairy." Ash retorted. The Sandshrew looked at Ash and hugged his leg. Ash blinked and looked at Naga. She hissed and nuzzled him. "Do you want to come with me?" He said looking at the rodent. The Sandshrew looked at Ash and smiled. "Ok. Then come with us." The rest of the gang and Seimore watched the interaction with amazement. Then they heard a shriek from the Clefairy.
They ran into one of the cave parts and saw the Clefariy being cornered by what looked to be a Meowth. It said, "Don't be scared of Meowth." It gave a dark grin. They ran in a saw the cat pokemon. It peered over that them and frowned, "What are you doing in here?" The others froze at this, "Wow! A pokemon that can talk!" Ash looked amazed at this.
Sandshrew growled and walked over to the scared Clefairy. "Sand shrew ew." It said looking at Ash and the others. The Clefairy blinked and looked at them. It smiled after hearing what the mouse was saying. It jumped and hid behind Ash's legs. "You are the thing causing trouble in these caves!" Seimore shouted at the Meowth.
"Trouble?" A female voice said.
"Make it double." A seemingly male voice retorted.
The gang and Seimore heard voices. Sandshrew and Clefairy grabbed Ash's jeans. Naga hissed.
"To protect the world from devastation!" A women with magenta long hair appeared. She wore a wide Team Rocket uniform. "To unite all peoples within our nation!" A man appeared with violet hair that was shoulder length. He looked like a pretty boy. "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" The girl said. "To extend our reach to the stars above!" The man answered. "Jessie." The girl named Jessie said. "James." The now known man James answered. "Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie retorted. "Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James answered. The Meowth smirked, "Meowth! That's right!" They landed on the boulder beside Meowth looking at the gang and Scientist.
"They sure are show-offs." Seimore stated. The others looked at him with disbelieve. Ash narrowed his eyes, "What are you doing here!? Can't you see your affecting the pokemon?" "Your the one who put the lights in the cave! It's your fault that all the pokemon in this cave are so confused!" Brock shouted.
"What a shame." Jessie said with a smirk. "How will we ever forgive our selves?" James answered with a grin. "We want to get our hands on the moonstone. So we can power up our pokemon with it." They others looked at them in shock. "With the moonstone in our hands nothing will stop us."
"We won't let you get away with it!" Ash shouted. Sandshrew and Clefairy agreed. The gang and Seimore agreed as well. "You want a rock!?" Brock pointed to one of the rocks in the cave, "Then take one of these and get lost!" Team Rocket frowned, "Get lost how rude." Jessie said. "Let's teach them some manners." They then grabbed their pokeballs.
Ash and Brock glared and went to grab theirs. Naga hissed and slithered down. "You want to fight these losers girl?" His Ekans turned and nodded at her trainer. Ash gave a grin and nodded. "Be safe." He turned to Misty, "Keep an eye on Seimore and these two." He gestured to Sandshrew and Clefairy looking at him with worry, "Make a run for it when you get the chance."
"Ekans!" Jessie shouted. "Koffing!" James shouted. The two pokeballs hit the ground and released the enemies pokemon. Out was another Ekans and a floating gas ball. Ash grabbed his pokedex to see what it was.
Pokedex Koffing: The Poison Gas Pokémon. Koffing hovers in the air, thanks to the poisonous gases it contains, which have a foul odor and can explode.
Brock threw his and out came a Zubat. "A Zubat?" Ash questioned. "I caught it just before entering the cave." Brock stated. Ash looked down and thought about catching one but dismissed it.
"Naga take out that other Ekans. I know you can do it girl." Naga hissed and turned to the other snake. She let out a angry hiss and slithered after it. "So you have a Ekans to boy? Well mine's better." Jessie retorted. Ash growled, "Oh yeah? Acid spray Naga!" Naga obliged and hit the other Ekans who hissed angrily. Ash smirked.
"Koffing Smog attack!" James yelled. Brock glared, "Zubat double team!" The bat screeched and flapped it wings to wind away the gas spray. James blinked. "What's this?" The two rocket members were covered in gas. "Not bad Brock." Ash said smirking at Brock who in turn did a proud grin.
"Quick! Now's our chance!" Misty shouted pushed Seimore and shooing the other pokemon away. Ekans went at Naga who hissed with anger. "Naga use Acid!" She hit the other who hissed in surprise. Jessie frowned at this. Koffing was tackling Zubat everywhere. Brock growled, "Zubat use Super-sonic!" Zubat screeched echoing the waves at Koffing and Ekans. They looked dumbfounded at this. They surprised the rocket members by fighting each other.
"Ekans!?" "Koffing?!" "Stop it!" Jessie shouted at her Ekans. "What's the matter with you?!" James shouted at Koffing. Ash and Brock smirked, "Ekans and Koffing are getting confused." "Naga! Use Mud Bomb!" Naga hissed and released her bomb. It went and hit the two pokemon. It sent them flying to their owners who flew down the cave underground. "We're blasting off!" James shouted. 'You may have defeated us! But we'll be back!" Jessie yelled.
"We did it!" Ash shouted fist bumping Brock, 'Excellent teamwork!" Brock answered. Ash smiled then frowned, "Wait a second. Aren't we forgetting something?" Brock frowned at this, "Yeah. Somethings missing." They thought for a second then yelled, "Where's Meowth!?"
Outside the cave Clefairy jumped out a opening to the outside. "Oh no! Clefairy is running away!" Misty shouted as she poked out of the cave hole. Seimore appeared behind her worried for the fairy pokemon. Sandshrew standing at Misty's side just like he heard Ash telling him to do.
It jumped up the mountain top. Misty grumbled and started to climb after it. Seimore and Sandshrew following her closely behind. "Clefairy! Come back!" Seimore shouted. Clefairy jumped on the grassy part of the mountain and froze. There in front of her was Meowth, "Meowth's got you now!" Misty and Seimore heard Clefairy yell. "Clefairy!" Misty shouted.
Misty saw it fall off the cliff and started coming down towards them. It hit Misty on the head and she slid down along with Seimore and Sandshrew. They landed in the river below them with a splash. Clefairy sat on Seimore's back in worry. Misty and Sandshrew looked dazed. Meowth landed on the rocks in the river.
"Alright! Give Meowth that moonstone!" The cat pokemon said bringing out his claws. Seimore froze and grinned sheepishly, "Meowth! I'm sure we can be reasonable about this?!" Meowth jumped at him, "No! We can't!" It had his claws out and ready.
"Not so fast Meowth!" Misty shouted throwing one of her pokeballs in the water. It hit the bottom of the river and opened. Out came out a starfish pokemon. "Staryu! Swift attack!" The starfish did it's star attack. Meowth yelped in pain. "Meowth! Meowth! Meowth!" It got hit 3 times. "Watergun Staryu!" Misty shouted. Staryu shot a gun of water at the cat scratch pokemon and it filled it with water. Meowth started to blow up into a blimp full of water. It stopped and Meowth went flying after releasing the water. It then flew away. "Bye Meowth! Have a have trip!" Misty yelled waving it goodbye. Seimore, Sandshrew and Clefairy watched it go and become a small speck. "Staryu return." Misty recalled her starfish.
"Hey! Is everyone alright?!" Ash shouted running towards them with Brock following closely behind. Clefairy and Sandshrew squealed at seeing him. They ran at his pants legs and nuzzled him. Ash blinked owlishly at them and smiled, "Glad to see your alright too." They nodded and continued cuddling his leg. The others laughed at this. Seimore was amazed that Clefairy seemed to really like Ash normally they don't take to other people so well.
It was then reaching sunset. Ash and the gang decided it was time for something to eat. 'Hey Brock. What's that?" Ash asked looking at what Brock was feeding Zubat. "This is pokemon food. Made from my own secret recipe. The ingredients are specially blended for each pokemon." Ash blinked at that, "Hmmm..." He then grabbed one of the pokemon food and handed one to Naga around his shoulder. Naga forked her tongue at it and ate it. It hissed in delight and Ash smiled.
"I've been developing it for years. I keep improving on the recipe. I'll make a batch for your pokemon too. I can already see that your Ekans likes it." Ash smiled and thanked Brock. "I'll try some." Seimore asked Brock for a piece of pokemon food. He grabbed one and ate it carefully. "Mmm hmmm. Not bad." Seimore said eating the food. Ash looked at Seimore and took one as well, "Let me have a taste." He bite into it and gagged. "Egh!" Brock sweat-dropped, "You may not like it, but the pokemon sure do."
On the big boulder behind them Clefairy and Sandshrew sat watching the trainers. They looked at Ash carefully and chatted to each other. "Shrew shrew ew ew.' It said looking and pointing to Ash. The Clefairy looked at him and gave a smile tightening it's hold on the little moonstone in it's arms. Sandshrew stated it wanted to go with Ash. Clefairy looked at the rodent and then thought about it herself. "Cle-fairy. Fariy." It nodded at him liking the idea too. Clefairy then sat up catching the attention of the others. It started to walk off.
Ash and the others followed it. It lead them down a pathway in the woods. It was nighttime and they all kept peering at the scenery. They followed behind with Clefairy jumping happily with Sandshrew runnng beside it. "Clefairy were are you taking us?" Ash questioned. Clefairy jumped out a pair of bushes with Sandshrew following behind it. It looked back towards the others and pointed, "Cle-fairy." Ash came out and peered, "It's another cave!"
They made themselves to it and walked in. They walked down the pathway and followed Clefairy closely. It led them straight down the path and when they got to the opening they stopped and stared.
Before them was a big stone that everyone knew was the moonstone. "It's the core of the moonstone." Seimore said with wonder. "This feels like a dream!" Misty said with a smile. "So the moonstone legend is true." Brock said with amazement. Ash looked entranced by it then noticed Clefairy, "Look Clefairy is doing something!" The others looked to see what the fairy pokemon was doing.
It placed it's moonstone rock in between the other rocks around the moonstone core. The minute she did that each small stone started to glow and then the main one glowed as well. It glowed a soft aqua blue and the others watched in amazement.
Then they noticed other Clefairy started to come out of the cave openings and walked their way to the moonstone. They all walked around and then the one that they knew walked forward. It went in front of Ash. "Clefairy fairy fairy ry." Ash smiled and laughed, "I think it was greeting us and showing it's friends." Brock laughed, "Yeah." Misty shrieked, "Oh! Look at them!" Indeed did they look.
The Clefairy all started to jump around the moonstone. It did a twirl like dance and chanted it's name. Ash and the gang looked amazed at this. "Amazing! These Clefairy formed their own society. This is a incredible sight." Seimore said with a grin.
Clefairy and Sandshrew watched the other Clefairy dance around. Ash noticed this and smiled at the sight. It was cool that those two liked each other. He noticed that they seemed to like him. He gently petted Naga's scales. 'Maybe they would like to come with me on my journey. Sandshrew would do it. I don't know about Celfairy.'
He noticed that the other Clefairy seemed to like the moonstone. He thought of why and certain reasons. It hit him when he realized it, "The Clefairy pray to the moonstone!" The other's blinked at this and stared at the moonstone. "Is it because the moonstone fell from the heavens?" Seimore asked. "Then maybe the legends are true. Maybe the moonstone really did come from space." Misty said with a smile. Ash turned and nodded, "Yeah."
"Of course! It all makes sense now!" Seimore yelled with a giant smile. "What does?" Ash questioned. "Outer space! Pokemon and the human race will ride the moonstone into space! First to the moon and to mars and together to the stars!" Seimore shouted stary-eyed.
"Stars!?" A voice said behind them. "That's are que." Ash and the gang turned to see Team Rocket behind them. "You guys don't know when to quit." Ash said with a glare. Naga hissed on his shoulder's. Brock and Misty gave a glare. Seimore shouted, "You keep away from the moonstone or else!" The Clefairy all looked on wide-eyed and the main Clefairy looked nervous, "Clefairy!"
"Or else?" James questioned. "I'm thinking we've been threatened." Jessie stated. Seimore then looked nervous if his shaking legs were a clue, "The moonstone belong to the Clefairy. No you trouble-makers leave this cave at once!" The scientist said. Team Rocket looked at him unimpressed. "What's that unusual sound?" James asked. "His knees are shaking!" Jessie said with a laugh. "Hm. Sounds like a wimp." Meowth stated.
"I'll show you!" Seimore shouted. He ran towards them. "Don't Seimore!" Ash yelled. He continued running and ran pass them and tripped. "Did you have a nice trip?" Meowth said rolling his eyes. Seimore groaned and got up, "My glasses?! I can't see a thing!" Ash and the other's looked on, "Oh Seimore!" Misty said with worry. "That wasn't fair!" Ash stated.
"All's fair in a pokemon match boy!" Jessie said holding her pokeball. "Enough talk!" James stated. Ash growled, "I agree! Go Champ!" Ash's Mankey came out with a screech. "Onix let's go!" Brock shouted releasing his rock snake. Jessie and James pokemon came out. Ash knew his Ekans was much better the her's. The Clefairy looked scared at this seeing the giant snake. Ekans and Koffing looked on nervous.
"Let's show them that size doesn't matter. Ekans underground!" Jessie yelled. "Koffing! Smoke screen!" Ekans went underground while Koffing released it's green smoke. Ash coughed, "Smoke won't stop us!" He grunted and grabbed Talon's pokeball. "Talon! I choose you!" Out came his tiny bird pokemon Spearow. It screeched in call. "Talon! Get rid of the smoke!" Talon nodded and flapped its wings frantically.
Talon blew all the smoke away and the other's noticed something was missing. There wasn't a moonstone only a hole in the ground." Huh!? The moonstone is gone!" Ash yelled. "Team Rocket stole it!" Misty said. "The match was just a trick just so they could sneak away with it." Ash stated. They stared at the hole.
Brock frowned, "Alright Onix! Follow them underground!" Brock pointed at the ground. The rock snake roared and went underground. Ash and crew ran off, "There's still a chance to catch them!" Ash yelled running returning his Ekans and keeping Talon out incase of emergency.
Seimore grunted feeling around for his glasses and felt them in his hand from a pain of small ones. "Cle-fairy!" The fairy pokemon said with a smile. "Fairy?" "I beg your parden?" Seimore muttered as he took his glasses and then widened his eyes, "Oh! Thank you! But why aren't you chasing after the robbers who took your moonstone?" Seimore asked. The Clefairy all stared at him in bewilderment. "The moonstone is sacred to you isn't it? It's your responsibility to take it back from those robbers. Do you understand me?" He stated and the Clefairy nodded.
Team Rocket was rolling down the mountain with the moonstone on what looked to be a cart with wheels. Meowth, Ekans and Koffing sitting at the top. Jessie and James at the sides. They were laughing at the win. "Nice guys always." Jessie said. "Finish last." James retorted. "We just went to worst to first. Ha!" Meowth grinned.
Team Rocket were going down hill when the ground exploded into bits of rock. Coming out of a huge hole was Onix. It roared at the sight of them. Team Rocket started to freak out at seeing the giant rock snake in front of them. The cart with them on it crashed on the Onix. It broke into pieces and the moonstone fell off.
"Got them!" Ash yelled running towards them. "Nice work Onix! Grab them now!" Brock shouted to his rock snake. James saw them coming and shouted, "Koffing! Counter attack!" The gas pokemon jumped and hit Onix in the head. It headbutted the rock snake and Onix roared. Koffing hit the ground with force and Onix hit the ground soon after it. "Onix!" Brock said with shock.
"Hey! Look!" Ash yelled after seeing a familiar head pop out of Onix's underground hole. The scientist peered around and looked at them. Coming out of the hole soon after were a bunch of Clefairy. "Cle-fairy!" They chanted jumping out of the hole. They ran to Team Rocket. They swarmed around them.
"Meowth! What's going on?" Meowth questioned. The Clefairy lifted their fingers and started to swing them back and forth. "What are they doing?" Jessie asked. "Waving their fingers." James retorted. "This way and that way. This way and that way." Meowth repeated. Team Rocket started to sway back in forth after seeing the Clefairy started to swing their fingers together in harmony.
Ash and crew swayed back and forth at this. Sandshrew and Talon blinked at this action. "I'm getting dizzy." Misty whispered. "This is a attack Clefairy use called the Metronome." Seimore said swaying his head back in forth.
Sandshrew and Talon blinked. Ash looked on at the Clefairy wondering what type of attack it was. "I've never seen the Clefairy use the Metronome. Who knows what will happen? " Seimore stated. After that sentence the Clefairy stopped their chanting and swaying. They then started to glow white.
A explosion happened so afterwords in a ray of red. Some Clefairy went flying after that. Team Rocket went soaring away. "Well it looks like Team Rocket is!" Jessie said dazed. "Blasting off again!" James said equally dizzy. Meowth groaned, "That was the Metronome!" Jessie shrieked, "I give it two thumbs down!" "Me too!" "Meowth three!" Then they were gone and dinged like a star.
Everyone stared at the hole the Clefairy's Metronome did. "Wow!" Ash said looking on with wonder. Then everyone saw the floating particles in the air falling down. "The moonstone." Seimore said looking up. The Clefairy all grinned and stayed still. Some of the stone pieces landed on Clefairy and they started to glow.
"Clefable!' "Clefablee!" "Clefable!" They all chanted. "The Clefairy are." Brock said. "Evolving." Misty said afterwords. Ash grabbed his pokedex.
Pokedex Clefable: An advanced form of Clefairy. These unique creatures are among the rarest Pokémon in the world.
"The power of the moonstone did this!" Seimore said looking in amazement at this. Everyone watched as the Clefairy and Clefable chanted. They did this all the way back to the moonstones resting spot.
The fairy pokemon chanted and danced around the moonstone. Seimore turned to Ash and the gang. "I decided to move here with the Clefairy." Seimore said with a smile. 'Huh?!" Ash said looking at Seimore in shock. "It's been my life's dream to find the moonstone. Someday I'll travel to the stars with the Clefairy." He retorted.
"Wow!" Misty said with a smile. "When you do visit outer space. I hope you remember to send us a post card." Brock stated with a grin. Ash smiled at this.
The next morning the ground was getting ready to leave. Ash turned and waved at Seimore, "So long! Seimore! Goodbye Clefairy!" He said with a smile. "Goodbye Ash! Thank you all!" Ash and crew was about to walk off when they heard a, "Fable! Clefable!" "Shrew! Sandshrew!" They all stopped and saw a pair of pokemon running towards them. They both stopped and panted.
It was a Clefable and Sandshrew. They both stared at them. Sandslash ran and grabbed Ash's legs. Clefable walked over to Ash and placed a hand on his shoudler. "Fable." It said with a smile and gently rubbed his left cheek with the scars. Ash blinked at this. Talon on his shoulder cawed and knew what was happening with a grin. Brock and Misty smiled knowing what the pokemon wanted.
"Fable." The Clefable muttered leaning close to Ash. Sandshrew squeaked and nuzzled Ash at his left leg. Ash smiled and petted Sandshrew. He petted the top of their heads. Clefable he smiled as she was his height. "You guys want to come with me?" They looked at him with trust in their eyes. Ash laughed, "Alright! Welcome to the team!" Ash grabbed two pokeballs and hit them gently on the head. The two pokemon were instantly sucked in and teleported to Professor Oak's lab. Ash smiled and knew he would get them to train later.
"Wow. I got two more pokemon." He said with a grin turning to Misty and Brock. They smiled, "I have a feeling this is going to be noraml." Misty said. Brock laughed. Ash frowned at that and the other thought. "Do you think the Clefairy really came to earth from outer space?" Ash asked. "It's fun to imagine they did." Misty answered. Ash looked confused by this until Talon nuzzled his left cheek and Ash smiled.
Ash and the crew walked out of the forest surrounding Mt. Moon and entered a fork in the road. They looked and saw a sign in the middle of the road. Brock said, "This road leads to Cerulean City." Misty blinked and looked down at that. "Well, I guess we're headed the right way." Brock stated. Then the older boy noticed something.
Ash ignored the talk and continued scratching Talon under his chin. He smiled watching his Spearow's antics. His eye stinged a little sense the Smoke screen attack in Mt. Moon but he otherwise ignored it.
"Hey there's something else scribbled here." Brock muttered. "Well they say that some kids like to write silly notes on these signs. What's it say?" After scratching Talon one last time. He leaned over to peer at the scribble. Talon looked on too and froze.
Gary was here! Ash is a loser!
"Gary was here!... Loser! Ugh!" He growled at this and clenched his fists. Talon narrowed his eyes at that. 'My trainer isn't a loser.' Ash looked pissed at this statement. "Gary... I'll SHOW YOU!" With his eyes on fire, Ash took off like a rocket. Talon flew off and watched his trainer running with a scary look on his face. Talon knew then 'I don't want to be Gary...'
"What's the hurry?!" Misty watched as Ash ran off. "He'll never learn..." Brock said. Talon watched from the sky seeing his trainer want to pound his rival into the ground. Talon wondered what else is going to happen on this journey with Ash. Only life knows the answer.
End Chapter 4
Ash now has a Sandshrew and Clefable. I wonder what he's gonna capture next. Review and tell me what you think should be on his pokemon journey in Kanto and other regions. Also tell me if there should be a love interest or not. Also if there should be fanart would be a cool idea. I have some already. If anyone wants some that'll be cool for the story.
