New Life, New Journey
Author: AshK
Adventure AU Follows the Anime closer than the game. This story Contains Ash to Ashley TG
Rating: T to be safe violence and romance later
Summary: Ash has just received his fourth badge from Sabrina. Anime Canon: from Episode 26: Pokemon Scent-Sation forward. What if Ash ended up not just disguised as a girl but is actually turned into one by Erika instead. How would the Anime differ? This is a retelling of the Adventures of Ash Ketchum who later became known a Ashley Ketchum. Would Ashley ever change back to his birth form? Or will he be a she forever. Ash got in quite a bit more trouble than he did in the Canon Episode. I will probably skip large chunks of the series and only cover the key events. I hope you enjoy my newest Ash to Ashley TG story.
Disclaimer: I am not rich and I do not own Ash/Ashley, Misty, Janine or Brock or any of the characters that are in this story. I do however own this story so don't take without my permission. Also don't sue me.
Episode 07: Return to Cerulean City!
Author's Note: I will still only cover the major events of the Anime Series. It is basically my re-telling of the journey Ash took only as Ashley. Also from what you saw in the last chapter I am not going to cover the Exeggcute/Exeggutor Magician Episode since Misty and Brock are currently back at their gyms, however Ashley may take part in a magic show simlar to the one that Misty took part in during the Anime Episode: March of Exeggutor Squad. I also made Team Rocket only five years older than Ashley and Janine rather than seven. Brock is 14 rather than 16 at the moment.
Ages: Ashley: 10, Team Rocket: 15, Janine: Age 10
Still no romance planned for a while yet.
Previously on New Life, New Journey...
After a couple of hours of catching up on old times with Brock, Janine arrives in the gym.
"How about we have a tag battle?" Brock suggested.
"A Tag Battle what's that?" Ashley asked curiously.
"It's a battle where two Pokemon each are sent out at the same time. I will send out my two Pokemon and you two can send out two of your Pokemon."
"That sounds like a plan." Ashley said. "Janine want to give that a try?"
Janine nods and joins Ashley. "Venonat I choose you!" She says.
"I choose you Ivysaur!" Ashley said with a wink and a pose as she sent out her seed pokemon.
"Venonat use confusion on Geodude." Janine said.
"Ivysaur use Sunny Day followed by Solar Beam on Onix!" Ashley said.
The attacks combined and knocked both of Brock's Pokemon out.
"Onix and Geodude are unable to battle." Flint said. "The winners are Ashley from Pallet Town, and Janine from Fuchsia City."
"As proof of your victories, I proudly present you with the Boulder Badge." Brock said as he presented Janine with hers. Brock then looks toward Ashley. "You have come a long way Ashley. You have truly earned this badge this time. Congratulations."
Ashley smiled and took the badge from Brock. She noticed it was the same badge that she had given back only this time she earned it as Ashley Ketchum from Pallet Town.
"Thanks so much Brock!" Ashley said as she all of a sudden just hugged Brock then let go with a blush on her face. "I-I am so sorry Brock."
"No worries Ashley." Brock said with a smile. "I just count that as a hug from one of my little sisters. You are like the little sister I never had."
"Um Brock, you have 9 Brothers and Sisters." Ashley said. "Would that make me your honorary 10th sibiling?"
Brock laughs and nods as he points Ashley and Janine toward Mt. Moon and Cerulean City.
"Go on." Brock said. "Ashley I'm sure you can lead Janine to Cerulean City. You have been their before after all. Misty is waiting to see you again. Good luck."
"Thank you so much Brock." Ashley said as she gave Brock another hug. "I will be seeing you around."
Brock nodded and sent the two ten year old girls off to more adventure.
After Ashley and Janine successfully made it through Mt. Moon and went to visit Bill the Pokemaniac...
"We should get to Cerulean City shortly." Ashley said to her friend. "So how long do you want to travel with me?"
"At least until after you get the Cascade, Thunder, and Marsh Badges." Janine remarked. "Not sure what to do after that."
"Well you have plenty of time to think about that. So let's get to Cerulean Gym." Ashley said.
As the two girls entered the City, they immediately saw a building with a Dewgong on top of it.
"Hey Ashley, is that the Cerulean Gym?" Janine asked as she pointed to a building.
Ashley and Pikachu nod in acknowledgement.
"First we need to head to the Pokemon Center to rejuvenate our Pokemon team." Ashley suggested.
Janine nodded in agreement with her friend and they went to heal their Pokemon.
In a matter of five minutes, their Pokemon were healed.
"So why don't we go check out a water show before we battle Misty." Ashley suggested. "Sound like a plan?"
"Sure does." Janine said as she went to pay for the tickets. "I got the tickets."
"You didn't have to do that Janine." Ashley said.
"I know I didn't, but I wanted to." Janine said.
"Thank you so much." Ashley said. "Let's go find our seats."
Janine nodded and gave Ashley her ticket and they went to their seats.
The show then started and it lasted two to three hours long. Ashley then waited for everyone to leave the stadium.
"So now that everyone has left," Ashley started. "Why don't we go see if Misty will be willing to give us a tag battle."
"Sounds like a plan." Janine said as they made their way out of the stands and went to the lobby to wait for Misty.
"So I hear you two want a tag battle am I right?" Misty asked. "I accept your challenge. Meet me in the arena."
"Sure thing Misty." Ashley said. "Let's go Janine."
"Okay." Janine said.
Misty nodded and headed to the arena to wait for her challengers.
A few minutes later Janine and Ashley arrived in the Arena.
"We are here Misty." Ashley said.
"Time for us to battle you." Janine said.
"I know that I choose Staryu and Starmie!" Misty said as she sent out her Pokemon.
"I choose you Ivysaur." Ashley said.
"Come on out Venomoth!" Janine said as she sent out her Pokemon.
"This is a two on two battle between Misty the Gym Leader of Cerulean City and the challengers Janine from Fuchsia City and Ashley Ketchum from Pallet Town. No substitutions allowed." Violet said. "When both Pokemon of one side are knocked out the battle is over. Let the battle begin."
"Ivysaur start off with Sunny Day!"
"Staryu use Rapid Spin, Starmie use Psychic." Misty said.
"Venomoth use Stun Spore on Starmie." Janine said.
"Ivysaur use Solar Beam!" Ashley said.
The Solar Beam missed surprisingly as Ivysaur was hit by Rapid Spin.
Stun Spore paralyzed Starmie before it could wash off the Stun Spore.
"Venomoth use Silver Wind on Starmie!" Janine said.
"Ivysaur use Solar Beam one more time!" Ashley said.
Both attacks connected knocking Staryu and Starmie out.
"Staryu and Starmie are unable to battle." Violet said. "The winners of this match are Ivysaur and Venomoth!"
"Alright!" Ashley and Janine said. "We won! Great job! Return!"
With that Ivysaur and Venomoth were recalled.
"I will meet you two out in the lobby after I take my Pokemon to the Pokemon Center." Misty said. "Staryu, Starmie return."
With that Staryu and Starmie were returned and Misty headed to the Pokemon Center, while Ashley and Janine returned to the lobby to wait.
Ashley also decided to go heal her Pokemon at the Pokemon Center as well as Janine.
A few minutes later Ashley and Janine returned from healing their Pokemon to be greeted by Misty.
"So where did you two go?" Misty asked. "I have been waiting for you two."
"We went to heal our Pokemon a couple minutes after you did." Ashley said.
"Oh okay." Misty said as she took two badges out. "This time Ashley, you have earned it fair and square."
"Thanks Misty!" Ashley said as she hugged her friend. "I guess it wouldn't be so bad being a girl for a while. I think it has actually made me a bit smarter."
"That's good." Misty said. "Just don't go back to your old habit of leaping before you look. Look before you leap and it will make you an even better trainer."
"Thanks Mist." Ashley said. "I guess I will see you around."
"Same here Misty." Janine said. "We will both see you around."
Ashley and Janine then realized that they forgot to do something.
"Alright!" Janine and Ashley said. "We just won... the Cascade Badge!"
With that Ashley and Janine posed briefly and continued on their way.
Misty waved good bye to her two friends and went back to her gym duties.
Back on the road...
"So where is our next stop?" Janine asked.
"Well, Vermilion City is our next stop." Ashley said. "That is where I will battle Lt. Surge again for my Thunder Badge."
"Should we capture some ground Pokemon as well?" Janine asked. "I think you captured a Sandshrew didn't you in Mt. Moon?"
"I think I did." Ashley said. "Though I am not really sure, so we better head somewhere to capture some ground Pokemon."
"That sounds like a good idea." Janine said.
With that Ashley and Janine went to continue their training before going to Vermilion Gym to Challenge Lt. Surge. It would take about a week to get there because Ashley and Janine are going to do some training.
To Be Continued...
Next Time: Ashley and Janine, after a week of being on the road and training for about a week as well catching some ground type Pokemon. Now it was time for their gym battle with Lt. Surge. Will Ashley and Janine win or lose? Stay Tuned to find out!
