Kanto Chapter 7
When they arrived at the port, they met Leaf who was also getting on the ship. Ash immediately called her.
"Ash! Nice to see you again." Leaf said.
"Same here, so you are also boarding the S.S. Anne?" Ash asked.
"Of course. I beated Lt. Surge and got the tickets. And you?"
"We all are." Ash said.
Ash and his friends went on the ship, they were amazed at the luxurious rooms and the fabulous interior.
"This place looks awesome." Misty said.
"Yeah, talk about a luxurious stay." Brock said.
They head to a ballroom and saw all kinds of trainers battling, Ash also battled a gentleman with a Raticate using Pikachu. He won against him.
"Nice battle." Ash said to the gentleman.
"No problem, kid. Since you beated me, how about you take this with you?" The gentleman took out a box. Ash didn't open it and said, "Thank you."
Suddenly, the room was filled with Team Rocket Grunts.
"Oh no, Team Rocket!" Misty said.
"I guess this time it isn't the idiot trio." Leaf said.
"Who are you calling idiots?" Jessie, James and Meowth took of their disguise.
"Great, more problems."
The grunts all used vacuums to capture the other passenger's Pokemon.
"Everyone, come on out!" Ash tossed all 8 of his Pokemon and they all attacked the grunts, sending them all flying, including the trio. Then Ash noticed a Pokeball fell from James' hand.
"What is this?"
Before Ash can opened it, they heard the ship rumbling.
"Ash, we need to get out of here." Leaf said.
"Let's go." Ash quickly recalled all of his Pokemon.
They quickly went towards the life boats and put on the life jackets. Not long after, they witnessed the ship sank to the ocean.
"Man, I thought that we could relax on a luxurious boat." Leaf said.
"Yeah." Ash gave a weak smile.
After they got on the shore, every passenger left the place, Leaf also asked, "So Ash, what is inside the Pokeball?"
Ash said, "I don't know."
He tossed it and appeared a Golden Magikarp.
"It is a Shiny Magikarp!" Misty said.
"Those are very rare!" Brock said.
Magikarp then saw Ash, he was terrified, "Please don't sell me!"
Ash said, "Huh? Sell you? Why would I do that?"
Misty then asked Leaf, "Is Ash communicating with Pokemon?"
Leaf said, "Yes, we can understand what Pokemon are saying. It is an amazing gift."
Magikarp said, "Because I am shiny, I was often being sold as a prize. But I am a Pokemon, too."
Ash then looked at him.
"I am sorry that you suffer a lot. I treat all Pokemon with love, even you doesn't deserve to have this fate."
Magikarp saw Ash's eyes, which were telling the truth, he tried to accept Ash.
But suddenly, Team Rocket appeared and grabbed Pikachu, Sylveon and Magikarp in a net.
"Team Rocket!"
James said, "Too bad, this Magikarp can make a lot of money."
Meowth said, "And we also got your Pikachu and Sylveon for da boss, it is a win-win for us!"
Ash said, "No you don't! Pidgeotto, I chose you!"
Leaf said, "Well, I'll battle, too. Nidory! I chose you!"
Leaf took out her Nidoqueen, then they tried to break the net, but Jessie took out Ekans and James took out Koffing to stop them. Thanks to Nidory, the Pokemon were defeated, and Pidgeotto used Peck to broke the net, causing the 3 to fall.
"I am coming!" Ash jumped high enough to grab all three Pokemon, but he fell into the sea.
"Ash!" The three humans screamed.
Then Magikarp started to glow, it became bigger and bigger, it carried Ash, Pikachu and Sylveon on its body and floated on the surface of the ocean.
"A red Gyarados!" Ash said.
Then Gyarados put them back to the shore. He then turned to Team Rocket, which flinched at his glare.
Ash then took out the box the gentleman gave him, he opened it and said, "Gyarados! Catch!"
Ash threw a marble like thing, Gyarados caught it in his mouth.
"Let's go!"
Ash pressed his key stone on his glove, he said, "Now let our hearts be together as one! Mega evolve!"
Then Gyarados started to glow, it then changed its appearance.
"What is that?" Misty asked.
"Mega Evolution." Leaf replied in awe to see the Mega Gyarados.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Jessie said.
"I think we should retreat…" James said.
"Now Gyarados, use Dragon Rage!"
Gyarados fired a beam and hit Team Rocket.
"We're blasting off again!"
After that, Gyarados returned back to his form. He gave Ash the mega stone.
"Thank you for helping us. Gyarados."
"No problem." It nuzzled Ash.
Brick came and asked, "Ash, what did you just do?"
"This is a temporarily evolution called mega evolution. Once the battle is over, the Pokemon can return back to its form. This key stone and mega stones are essential to perform a mega evolution."
Leaf said, "Also, mega evolutions were originated in Kalos, so all the gym leaders there can perform the trick."
"No way!" Misty said.
Ash then took out a Wrist Band and attach the Gyaradosite on it, he put it on Gyarados, so that they could perform mega evolution. Leaf also decided to go, she bid farewell to them and walked away.
On the way to Saffron City, they got trouble with some Tentacools and Tentacruels, Misty caught a Horsea in the incident. Then Ash, Misty and Brock arrived at a high cliff.
"After this cliff, we will arrive at Lavander Town."
"Okay, I will have to find a ghost type so that I can challenge the Saffron Gym."
Then Ash noticed a large group of Butterfree in the horizon.
"Wow, there are so many Butterfrees." Ash said.
"Yeah, Butterfree are celebrating their season of love to find a mate now." Brock said.
The group rented a hot-air balloon and were soon in the air following the Butterfree.
"Hey, how about I took mine Butterfree?"
Ash sent his Butterfree to find a mate, but he struggled to get any interest from the other Butterfree. "None of the Butterfree may be "its type", it sure has a unique taste." Brock said.
They then noticed that other Trainers brought their Butterfree and released them to find their mate. Ash's Butterfree few back to Ash and friends, and after they cheer up the Butterfree he returned to seeking a lifetime mate.
Very soon Butterfree fell in love with a pink Butterfree. The pink Butterfree, however, rejected Ash's Butterfree's proposal. But Ash's Butterfree didn't give up and kept on trying, but the pink one eventually slapped him across the face with her wing. Being shot down, Ash's teary-eyed Butterfree then flew away into a forest.
Eventually Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Sylveon and Brock find Butterfree in the forest.
Ash then comforted Butterfree, "Butterfree, can you tell me why she slapped you?"
"She said that she had found her mate, she broke my heart."
Ash hugged him and said, "It is okay. Even you missed the chance, we will always be by your side. I am sure that you will find one eventually."
Butterfree cried in Ash's arms, then Pikachu and Sylveon also came and did the same.
Misty said, "Wow, who knew that Ash has a kind heart?"
Brock said, "He really loves Pokemon so much."
After that, they went to Lavender Town.
There it is, Ash's first mega evolution is a shiny Gyarados. I kind of like the red Gyarados, so I gave Ash one.
And about Butterfree, he will eventually found a mate, but it doesn't mean that Ash will be release it, instead, Ash will be catch it. You can read the profile to find out who is it.
As for Team Rocket, they didn't capture a lot of Butterfrees, because they are doing something in Lavender Town.(Game players will know what are they up to.)
Ash's current team:
Pikachu, Sylveon, Butterfree, Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Krabby, Gyarados (Shiny, Mega)
At home: Ho-Oh
