Pokemon Restart

Chapter 7

Abandoned Mansion


"So who was that girl from yesterday?" Green asked as she and Ash walked down a dirt path leading away from town.

Ash grinned. "She's a friend I used to travel with," he replied before catching sight of an old building in the distance. "Is that it?"

Green looked ahead and smiled. In the distance was an old mansion with boarded up doors and windows. The walls were in bad shape with weeds growing on parts of it, probably due to the overgrown grass.

"That's it," Green grinned as she approached the mansion's blocked door and drew a pokeball. "Go, Nido!" A nidorina emerged from the ball, letting out a happy cry when seeing its trainer. "Use Double Kick on the door!"

The pokemon nodded and kicked at the blocked door, knocking it off its hinges with two powerful kicks.

Green giggled. "Thank you Nido," she returned the pokemon to her ball before turning to Ash with an exited smile, "Let's go in Ashy!"

He grumbled at the nickname, remembering the times when Gary had called him that, while Pikachu snickered as the two followed after her. They were greeted with a large barely lit room with a lot of debris on the floor, there were several paintings on the walls, and the set of stairs leading to the second floor had collapsed.

"Finding anything here is going to be tougher than it looks…" Green muttered to herself before letting out a sigh. "I wish I had thought of catching a venonat or some other pokemon that could make this easier," she placed her hands on her hips before glancing back at Ash, "We should split up. I'll go right, you go left."

Ash glanced at the two doorwyas on either side of him, briefly wondering if splitting up was a good idea but dismissing it as Green was already entering her selected room. "I guess we should get going too," he told his pokemon, who dropped from his shoulder to walk in front of him just in case there was trouble.

The duo entered the room and were met by pretty much the same setting save for the statue in the middle of the room. Ash looked at it in curiosity, it was a dark stone statue of a persian with glaring red eyes. He gave it a passing glance as he set to look around the room, only now remembering that he had no idea what he was looking for.

"See anything suspicious Pikachu?"

"Pika," Pikachu pointed at the statue in the middle of the room.

Ash nodded in agreement, "I think so too but we should probably wait for Green, she's the one that knows what we're looking for."

The two waited in the room before an annoyed Green walked into the room, her face covered in dust.

"I'm going to need a long bath after this," she muttered to herself as she approached the trainer and pokemon, "Find anything interesting?"

Ash nodded towards the statue, "That's the only weird thing we found, though it probably would've helped if you told us what we're looking for."

Green dismissed him with a wave of her hands as she approached the odd statue. Her eyes narrowed in concentration as she studied the stone persian before a smile spread across her face and she reached out to grasp the statue's raised paw. Behind her, Ash and Pikachu watched in curiosity as she pulled the paw down.

"Weird… I thought for sure that would do something," Green pouted but was silenced as a low rumbling emitted from behind one of the walls. Ash and Pikachu moved to stand next to Green as one of the walls slid open, revealing a set of stairs leading down. "Oh yeah. I'm good," she cheered before walking towards the stairs.

"Just what is this place?" Ash wondered out loud as he and Pikachu followed Green down the set of stairs. His curiosity only grew when they reached the end of the steps. They had reached a brightly lit room with white walls, having many computers and odd machines lined up against them.

"It's here I'm sure of it!" Green cheered as she looked around the room, noticing that there were three different doorways they could take. "Let's split up again," she instructed, "We're looking for a small machine that can attach to your face. It should look like a mix between binoculars and goggles. I'll check the computers for information on Mew."

Ash nodded. "Alright then," he proceeded to move though one of the doorways leading to a large room filled with all sorts of machines. "What do you think they did here Pikachu?"

"Pika… chu," his pokemon replied as he looked around the room incuriosity, until noticing something, "Pikapi!"

"What is it?" Ash exclaimed as Pikachu broke into a run through the machines. The young trainer followed after his pokemon, passing by many machines until Pikachu came to a stop before a large glass container.

"Chu, pika."

Ash approached the container and gasped, seeing a trembling blanket curled up against the glass. Hearing noise, two brown ears emerged from the blanket before a small eevee timidly peeked its head out, looking at the trainer and pokemon in fear.

"Hey, no need to be scared. We're not going to hurt you," Ash spoke gently. He looked around for any way to let the pokemon free before noticing a blue button next the container, label with the word release. The trainer pushed the button without hesitation, the container raising enough to allow Eevee to be free. "There you go."

"Pika!" Pikachu cried out happily as he moved near the brown pokemon and offered his paw as a greeting. Eevee looked at it curiously before smirking and lashing out with its tail, knocking Pikachu back a couple of feet.

"Pikachu!" Ash cried out in worry as he looked at Eevee angrily, "What was that for?"

"Pika!" Pikachu raised to his feet and stared the smirking pokemon down.

"Eevee. Vee!" The pokemon charged in at Pikachu without warning,

Ash frowned. "If that's what you want, then fine! Pikachu, use Quick Attack!"

"Pika!" Pikachu let out as he broke into a sprint, planning to meet Eevee's attack dead on but the brown pokemon jumped over Pikachu at the last moment, spinning in place before landing safely on the ground.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu nodded and let loose a bolt of electricity towards Eevee who only smirked as it's whole body shone brightly. Ash and Pikachu watched in shock as the eevee grew in size and took the shape of a jolteon who absorbed the Thunderbolt without any harm.

"Jolt!" The pokemon cried out as it let loose a powerful Discharge that knocked Pikachu back a couple of feet, and overcharged nearby machines which resulted in several explosions.

Ash shielded his eyes from the smoke and sparks, before looking at Pikachu. "Use Iron Tail!"

"Pikachu!" The electric type leapt towards a nearby wall before kicking off of it to jump high in the air.

Jolteon smirked and glowed white once more, reverting back to its eevee form, before using a Quick Attack to dodge the incoming Iron Tail. Eevee then glowed white, growing in size again but this time taking the shape of a flareon.

"Flare!" The fire type let out a powerful Flamethrower that struck a surprised Pikachu that cried out in pain as he crashed into a nearby machine.

"Pikachu, you okay?" Ash exclaimed in concern which turn to relief when he saw his friend get up and nod firmly. The trainer quickly formulated a strategy in his mind despite being utterly shocked at what the eevee was doing. "Alright Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!"

"Pika!" Pikachu cried out as he became enveloped in electricity and broke into an all-out sprint towards Flareon, who only smirked and returned to its Eevee form before beginning to glow once more.

Ash gritted his teeth as he waited for the perfect moment. He watched in deep focus as Eevee began to grow in size before smirking confidently.

"Quick Pikachu! Turn it into an Iron Tail!"

"Pika…" Pikachu dropped the electricity covering his body and used to momentum to leap towards the newly formed jolteon, spinning in the air for added strength before delivering a powerful Iron Tail to the pokemon's head.

"Jolteon!" The pokemon cried out in pain before falling unconscious on the ground and reverting back to its eevee form.

Ash quickly came to a decision and pulled out an empty pokeball. "Pokeball, go!"

The pokeball met its mark and pulled the pokemon inside before falling on the ground and twitching wildly. Ash watched the pokeball anxiously, brow furrowed, before it stopped shaking and let out the satisfying sound that meant he had just caught a new pokemon. He smiled as the pokeball became encased in a white light and disappeared.

"Pikapi pika?" Pikachu let out, looking at Ash curiously.

"I figured that Professor Oak should have a look at it. He'll know why Eevee could change between evolutions at will like that," he explained before patting his pokemon's head fondly, "Good job buddy. You did amazing."

"Pikachu," the pokemon pumped a fist in the air.

Ash chuckled, "Come on, let's go find Green."


Green smiled to herself as she held the device she'd been looking for in her hands. It was the Silph Scope, a device that, according to her findings, was able to spot Mew wherever it was. From her research she found out that Mew was referred by some as 'The Mirage Pokemon' due to it only making itself visible only when it wanted.

Hearing footsteps, Green turned her attention away from the device as to an agitated Ash and Pikachu. The pokemon looked a lot worse than its trainer and she could see that they were covered in dust.

"What happened to you two?"

Ash and Pikachu approached Green, both looking at the device on her hands oddly, before he spoke, "We ran into some trouble with a pokemon. I ended up catching it."

Were it any other time Green would have possibly pressed for details but she was too excited over the Silph Scope finally being in her possession to care. "Let's get out of here already, there's no useful data in here anyway," she pushed passed the two and headed for the exit, all the while smiling happily to herself.

Ash couldn't help but grin as he and Pikachu followed after the impatient girl.


"They took a boat to Cinnabar!" A Team Rocket member cowered under the piercing gaze glaring at him through the shadows of a barely lit room.

"I see…" a man spoke through the shadows, thoughtfulness on his voice, "And where were you when the brats got away with all the pokemon we collected on the Safari Zone?"

The Rocket member swallowed a lump in his throat, "Um… I was…not present..?"

A flash of white shone behind the Rocket member, a venomoth appearing before him as he stepped away from it in fear.

"P-Please sir! It won't happen again!"

"I know," the man replied before issuing a command to his pokemon, "Psychic!"
