The trio of trainers saw their very short lives flash before their eyes, they snapped their eyes shut and waited for the end.
When the end didn't come they opened their eyes and saw Blaze standing in front of them, her arms outstretched.
"I won't let you take my trainer from me!" Blaze yelled. "Not when we just found one another." Blaze began glowing.
All of Misty's water type Pokémon jumped from their pokéball's and began blasting water at the blast burn attack, the only problem was that it was evaporating before it could douse the fire.
With that Wailmer began glowing.
Blaze had stopped glowing and in Charmeleons place was a large, pitch black Charizard. Blaze now stood eight feet from the ground, with large wings roughly 15 feet in length, with four razor sharp teeth, a four foot tail with a fire as hot as a furnace on the end of it. The three claws on her feet were digging into the ground to keep the lethal fire attack away from from her trainer and his friends, the two razor sharp talons on her hands were clenching and unclenching waiting for the right moment to strike.
"Your charizard has a very unique ability. Jason's Pokédex said. Your Charizard has the ability flash fire, very unique in members of the Charmander family."
"What does that mean?" Ash asked.
"It means that Jason's Charizard is rather unique." The Pokédex said. "For example a normal Charizard can't learn electric attacks very well, and it has an unusual ability, this means that Jason's Charizard is of the delta species.
They looked at Misty's Wailmer, which was no longer a Wailmer, but a Wailord. Waillord powered up a water gun attack and said. "Hey, Blazikan!"
The Blazikan stopped its attack and Blaze got out of the way, just in time for Wailord to blast Blazikan and his trainer far away.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Jason said as he walked over to blaze. He gave her a hug and said. "Two evolutions in as many days, that has to be a record."
"You were in trouble, I did what I had to."
"And you did it with style."
"We helped." Waillord piped in, his voice much deeper than the Wailmer voice.
"You were awesome too." Jason said to everyone.
"Don't We need to get supplies for our trip through this Arceus forsaken forest?" Misty asked.
"We do." Jason said. "Let's go back into town."
The trio went back to Virridian city and stocked up on food and water for the seven day trip.
Three days later.
The trio had been walking and camping for three days, when they were stopped by a trainer who wanted to fight the trainer from pallet town.
Both Ash and Jason looked at each other and said. "We're both from pallet town."
"Then I will challenge you both... At the same time."
Jason threw out Elekids pokéball and Ash threw out Metapods.
The challenger threw out a Kakuna and a Metapod.
"Metapod use harden." Ash and the challenger said in unison.
"Elekid use double team and follow it up with a shock wave."
"Do you think that I can?"
"I know that you can. You can do whatever you put your mind to."
Elekid used double team and surrounded the group.
"Oh no." Jason said. "This is going to suck."
The electric attack hit all of the Pokémon but left the trainers with their hair standing on end.
"Electricity doesn't work like this." Jason said.
"Please, please hold your applause, I can only handle so much." Pikachu said.
"You protected us from the electricity?"
"Yes. I know, I'm marvelous."
"How were you able to do that?"
"My ability is lightning rod. It means that I can absorb electricity."
"That makes sense."
"You ended the battle with two moves." the challenger stammered. "What kind of Trainer are you?"
"One who tries to enhance my Pokémon's abilities through trust rather than forcing them to evolve and battle."
"But that's their purpose."
"NO! It's not." Jason said harshly. "A Pokémon is a living, breathing being and they should be treated as such."
"That is deep." The challenger said in awe. "I'm glad the battle is over. Because it might have been the two of us telling our Metapod to use harden forever never going anywhere and attracting a bunch of wild Pokémon that could potentially hurt us."
"Let's avoid that."
They said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Three days later.
It was day six on their trip and ash had caught himself a Pidgeotto.
They were taking down camp when a trainer challenged them to a Pokémon battle.
"Pidgeotto, lets go." Ash yelled as he threw out Pidgeottos pokéball.
"Ha." The challenger said. "Blitzle, let's show this punk the errors of his ways."
A skittish little Blitzle was awaiting orders.
"Blitzle!" The challenger yelled before grabbing a whip off his belt and cracking it. "Blitzle use thunder shock."
The Blitzle looked scared. The challenger cracked his whip two more times.
"What are you doing!" Jason yelled.
"You train your Pokémon your way and I will train them my way." The challenger said before cracking the whip again.
Jason had moved faster than Ash had ever seen him move. Jason was very protective of others who were unable to defend themselves. Once when they were in school a bully had tried to kick a Pidgey who was trying to get back to its nest. Jason had jumped in without any thought of how badly he would be hurt and was beaten to the ground. In an act of desperation Jason had grabbed the bully's foot when he had tried to kick him and Jason bent the bully's foot to an odd angle. They later found out that Jason had broken the bully's foot.
The bully's parents tried to get Jason in trouble but a teacher had seen the whole thing, and told the truth and the bully was kicked out of school. Since then Jason started going to the dojo in saffron city.
Now Jason was standing in front of the Blitzle with the challengers whip wrapped around his forearm and had grabbed it.
"You make me sick!" Jason spat. "You think that if you use a whip then it will get your Pokémon to obey you quicker. Well it won't, it will just make them more afraid of you." Jason grabbed the challengers belt and threw it to Ash. "Release those Pokémon and break the pokéballs."
Ash caught the belt and did what Jason said.
"You can't do that!" The challenger yelled. "Those are my Pokémon."
Jason pulled the whip out of the challengers hands and said. "Blaze."
Blaze hopped out of her pokéball and said. "How can I help you?"
Jason threw the whip into the air and said "torch this, then watch him."
Blaze blasted the whip out of existence and stood menacingly over the challenger.
"Hey." Jason said to the Pokémon. "Is he a good trainer? Or does he hurt you?"
A doduo piped up and said. "He uses a whip when he wants us to do something, and sometimes he hits us with it."
"He apologizes and says that he won't do it again." A turtwig added.
"Then he does it again." A sandshrew chimed in.
"And he eats first and leaves the table scraps for us." A munchlax said.
"Sometimes we have to fight for food." The Blitzle added.
"Blaze. I want you to roast him on my mark." Jason said.
"Whoa." Misty interrupted. "Isn't That a little extreme?"
"They just told me that he abuses them, and makes them fight for table scraps!"
The guy looked shocked.
"Is that true?" Ash asked.
"I train them my way. Which involves that, yes."
Again Jason had moved faster than Ash knew was possible.
"That's not training!!" Jason yelled. "ITS ABUSE!!!!!" Jason punched the trainer in the face, sending him spiraling into the dirt.
"It's the way I train my Pokémon." The trainer said wiping a hand over his face and leaving it on his jaw.
Jason walked up, pulled his arm back, and punched the guy in his face again.
Jason looked at Ash and Misty and said. "call officer Jenny."
Meanwhile Jason called Charlie.
Charlie.
Charlie's answered his phone and said. "This is Charlie with abandoned and abused Pokémon what is your situation?"
"Charlie. It's Jason. I found five abused Pokémon and need your help."
"Where are you I'll be right there."
"We'll be in Pewter city by tomorrow, hopefully."
"Make sure that nothing bad happens to those Pokémon."
"Don't worry. I'll protect them with my life if that's what it takes."
"See you tomorrow."
Charlie hung up and prepared to go to Pewter city.
Jason.
Jason waited with the others for Officer Jenny.
When Officer Jenny got to them she saw a trio of trainers with five Pokémon around them and a fourth trainer on the ground a short way away. "What happened here?"
"Officer Jenny." Jason said. "This trainer has been abusing his Pokémon."
"Do you have proof?"
"Did you by chance bring Nurse Joy with you?"
"No."
"Then no."
"How about we go to Pewter city and get this taken care of?"
Pewter city.
"You were right. They were being abused."
"What are you going to do to their trainer?"
"He'll spend some time in jail for it."
Jason held his tongue, he wanted the guy to get what was coming to him, but he'd have to be happy with him going to jail. "What will happen to his Pokémon?"
"Do you guys want them?"
"We would be better trainers than that guy."
"Congratulations, they're yours now." Jenny said and turned her back to leave.
"What! They are living, breathing beings. They have the ability to choose."
"Then give them the choice. You're their trainer now." And with that Officer Jenny left.
Jason walked to the back of the Pokémon center where the Pokémon were.
"Hey guys."
"Jason!" The Pokémon shouted.
"So you've been given a choice. You can either stay with me, or be free."
"If you release us." Turtwig said. "Then another trainer could catch us who is worse."
"So you want to be my Pokémon?"
"Y-y-Yes." The Blitzle said. "As long as your okay with it."
"I'm fine with it. So long as you guys know that if you guys want to leave, all you have to do is say so."
"Why would we want to leave?" Doduo asked.
"Welcome to the team guys."
