Squirtle Squad

Pokemon!

Last Time on Starting Things Differently:

Ash smiled at this and looked down at the Eevee at his feet. "I'm so glad that your ok girl. I don't know what, I would have done if Team Rocket took you or anyone else." Ash said looking at his Eevee and to his Gyarados who was still out. He kneeled down and hugged his Eevee. "Your one of my best friends girl. This whole team is my best friends." Ash said looking at Evlon gently. She yipped and licked him before she froze. "Evlon what's the matter girl?" Ash questioned in worry with his evolution pokemon. He watched her glow before he realized she was evolving. "Wow." Ash said in wonder. The glow disappeared and he saw a lavender long fox-like cat with a red gem on her forehead. The newly evolved Evlon opened her new eyes that were a light violet. "Espe!" She cried out and climbed into her trainers lap to lick him in the face. Ash laughed and pulled out his pokedex. "Alright girl. Can you stay there for a second. I need to know what you are now." Ash said with a smile and scratched behind her ears.

Pokedex Espeon: The Sun Pokémon. Espeon are able to read air currents allowing it to predict the future as well as its opponents' next moves.

Ash widened his eyes at this and stared at his new pokemon. "Wow girl. That's amazing. I'm so proud of you." Ash said with a grand smile and hugged her tightly. Evlon yipped in happiness wagging her tail. Misty and Brock smiled at this. They were shocked at this since they did't know about the Espeon evolution at all. They only heard of the 3 Eevee evolution. Jolteon, Vapereon, and Flareon. This one was new to them. They were happy though for their friend to get this evolution. They watched in fondness as Ash was getting licked by his new Espeon and his Gyarados who felt left out. Ash laughed at this. The group wondered what was gonna happen next.

Present:

Ash was currently walking down the pathway to the nearest town. Ash was happily stroking his new Espeon, Evlon beside him. She was glued to his leg and nuzzled him every often for him to pet her ears. Ash would gladly do it to his little psychic fox. He was also really happy to know that, he got a Charmander for his team. Ash smiled to himself at this. 'Torch will do just fine.' Ash thought to himeslf. He was pleased to know that this was his first fire pokemon. Ash was interrupted by his musings by walking over the ground when he heard a crack. He stopped at this with his head tilted, "Huh?" Misty and Brock who were behind him stared and asked what was wrong. They heard the cracks too and looked to each other. The ground exploded and they fell in. They all screamed and hit the bottom with a groan.

Ash was getting pissed at the holes appearing. "Oh! Not another hole!" Misty shouted in anger. "OW! I landed on my head!" Brock yelled rubbing his head in pain. Ash groaned and rubbed his aching back, "Owww..." Brock frowned and looked up to the hole top, "It must be a prank." He didn't look amused. Misty frowned at this as well, "Somebody has a bad sense of humor." Ash blinked at this, "Who would play such a rotten trick?" Ash questioned. They heard laughter above them and looked up. What they saw were 5 Squirtle laughing at them. All the Squirtle wore black shades. All was the same except for the one wearing curved shades. Brock glared, "Who are you?!" Misty frowned and shouted, "That's not funny! We could have been hurt!" The Squirtle then laughed at Misty's remark and went away from the hole. Ash growled at that.

Ash crawled out of the hole with Espeon gripping his back with all her paws might. He was still hanging on the ledge, but enough for Evlon to get off his back. "Dangerous practical jokes are nothing to laugh about!" Ash shouted in anger. He totally did a parent moment there, he thought in surprise. "Espe." Evlon stated getting off her trainers back. Misty and Brock crawled out of the hole and hanged beside Ash. They all got out to see all the Squirtle laughing at them. Ash got out of the hole then in frustration. He then glared at them and pulled out his pokedex.

Pokedex Squirtle: This Tiny Turtle Pokémon draws its long neck into its shell to launch incredible water attacks with amazing range and accuracy. The blasts can be quite powerful.

Ash glared at them, "Evlon. I think these guys need to be taught some manners about being more cautious of who their pranking." Ash said turning to his Espeon. She nodded at him and walked in front of them. "Shadow ball." Ash said calmly. Evlon started to have a glowing ball in her mouth and fired it at the Squirtle squad. It was aiming towards the leader till another Squirtle took the hit. It fell down looking dazed from the shadow ball attack. The leader shouted in worry for it's downed companion. It turned to glare at Evlon. It did a stare down with the relaxed Espeon. "Squir-" Evlon equally stared him down, "Espe-" They continued this until everyone heard sirens. The Squirtle froze at this and yelled to the squad. They all then ran away carrying their unconscious friend.

Ash and the crew blinked at this, "Well. That was sure weird." Ash looked confused until he felt Evlon's fur nuzzling his hand. He looked down and smiled at her, "Good job girl. You nailed him right in the shell." Ash said scratching her ears in delight. Evlon yipped and twitched her ears in happiness. The sirens got louder and everyone turned to look at the Police bike coming there. Officer Jenny pulled up in front of them looking concerned, "Are you guys alright?! Has anyone been hurt here?!" She shouted looking them over. Ash smiled, "Officer Jenny!" Ash said with a grin. Officer Jenny blinked at this, "Huh? Have you met before? Your face doesn't look familiar." Then she went silent after what she just said noticing the scar. Ash went silent at this and frowned, but sighed after shaking it off, "We met you in Cerulean City." He stated. She then thought for a second and smiled as she got off her bike, "Oh you mean one of the other Jenny's. My cousin." She said with a grin. Ash blinked at this, "Cousin?" His head tilted at this. She snickered seeing his expression, "My cousins are all Police Officers. All of of look identical. Plus we're all named Jenny." Officer Jenny said with a big smile explaining her family. Ash blinked in shock at this, "Wow. Talk about family resemblance." Ash said a laugh. Misty looked nervous at that, "At least they remember all their names." She said in a chirper voice. Brock gave a faint smile at that.

They were at the Police Station when Officer Jenny said what was happening earlier. "That pokemon gang calls itself the Squirtle Squad." Jenny stated looking at the group. Ash looked confused about this, "Squirtle Squad?" Misty blinked at that as well, "I've never heard of a pokemon gang." Jenny then looked sad, "They're all Squirtles that were deserted by their pokemon trainers." The gang looked saddened by that. Ash whispered, "Deserted?" Jenny gave a faint nod, "Yeah. They don't have a trainer. So they run wild and play tricks on the whole town." She said then explained what the Squirtles have done. The gang was amazed that those Squirtles did stuff like that. "It really is kinda sad. Because if they had somebody to care about them they wouldn't have turned out to be as bad as they are." Jenny said in sadness for the Squirtle squad. Ash looked depressed at that sentence feeling for the Squirtles. "It's a real shame." Jenny stated.

Team Rocket watched them from the Police Station. They were watching them with their binoculars intently. "There I see them! The little brats." Jessie shouted in glee. Meowth gave a sigh then turned to Jessie, "Do you see a restaurant? I'm really starving here." He stated with boredom. Jessie frowned and grabbed a fan. She smacked him with great force for interrupting her thoughts. James saw Meowth get hit and had to joke, "But no pizza!" Jessie growled and smacked him too. Then James got up with a snarl, "I'm sick of eating pizza with every meal!" He shouted in annoyance. Jessie growled and got into James face, "You'll never eat again if you mess up this mission!" Jessie shouted at James. James looked silent and opened his mouth again, "Can't we just order chinese food?" He questioned. Meowth butted in, "Or maybe some tacos?" Meowth said hopefully. Jessie looked ticked at this response. She smacked both of them with her fan in rage. She started to pant after the beating she gave them, "Am I the only one who thinks world domination is more important then finding out what's for lunch?! Now let's focus ourselves on what really matters and that's catching all the most powerful pokemon!" Jessie huffed angrily after her rant. Then to the amusement of the other Rocket members her stomach growled. Jessie blushed and started to laugh nervously. "Oh... Now my stomach says it's time for lunch. Time to eat." She said sheepishly holding a picnic basket. James and Meowth looked happy at that, "Yes!" "Yeah!" They shouted in happiness. Then they heard a twig snap.

The Rocket members turned to see what did it and found themselves surrounded by the Squirtle squad. Team Rocket flinched at this then Jessie frowned, "You guys got a problem with us?" She stated looking at the turtle pokemon unimpressed. The Squritle squad nodded and pointed to the picnic basket. "Squritle squritle spuritle." The leader stated. Team Rocket blinked on curiously and turned to Meowth, "Hey Meowth. What are they saying?" James asked. Meowth blinked and turned to James, "I think it saying give us your food or else." He said nervously. Jessie smirked tightening her hold the picnic basket, "Your threatening us? We're Team Rocket. We threaten!" She said with a smug look. The leader of the Squritle Squad gave a smirk, "Squritle squirtle squirtle." He said with his sunglasses giving a shine to them.

Jessie grinned and pulled out her pokeball with James grabbing his, "Let's show these little creeps." Jessie stated. "I'm game." James agreed with her ready to release his pokemon. Just when they were about to throw their pokemon the ground started to crack. Team Rocket looked down to see a hole. They instantly fell in. They hit the bottom with a dazed look in their eyes. The Squirtle squad looked in the hole and gave each other smug grins.

Team Rocket woke up from the daze later to see the Squritle squad eating their food. They saw they were also tied to a tree with Meowth tied in the air on a branch. "Ah no. They're eating all the jelly donuts and the eclairs." Jessie said with whine. James looked saddened, "They're drinking all the lemonade!" Meowth was kicking his legs furiously while tied in the air, "This is cruel and unusual punishment!" The Squritles looked to Team Rocket and shrugged. "Those aren't Squritles. Their pickles." Jessie steamed. "Their starting on the sandwiches." James groaned in sadness. He then turned to Jessie, "We got to do something." Jessie nodded then perked up, "Wait!" She then smirked and turned to the Squirtles.

"Hey you little Squirtles. How about you like to little job for us?" She said with a grin. The Squirtle squad stopped eating and turned to her. "There are these 3 kids with the main kid who has scar on his left eye. Our boss would be most appreciated if you helped us capture them. He'll make it worth your while." She stated. The leader of the Squritle squad waved his hand dismissively to her not buying it. James blinked and looked to Meowth, "What did the Squirtle answer?" Meowth blinked and looked to James, "Squirtle said forget it. We know humans can't be trusted." James got annoyed, "Then make them trust us!" He shouted. Meowth then smirked, "Hmmm... That won't be easy. But I'll see what, I can do." He said with a smirk. Meowth turned to the Squritle squad, "Squirtle both of these humans belong to Meowth." He stated. James got a pissed look, "Belong to you?!" Meowth smirked, "They'll never trust you 2. You got no liar in you. Just let me handle this." Meowth then dismissed the human. James looked aggravated and kicked his legs in frustration, "Oh you little." Meowth smiled to the Squirtle squad, "These humans are my pets. I train them but they're pretty stupid." Meowth stated.

The leader blinked and turned to Meowth puzzled, "Squritle?" Meowth nodded and turned to James, "Don't you ever raise your voice ever to me again! You bad human!" With that Meowth started to kick James. The Squritles looked to each other and nodded liking the Meowth. They ran over to the rope holding him and started to bring him down. Meowth smirked at this, "Heh." When he reached the ground Meowth turned to the squad, "See you guys can trust me." The Squritle leader nodded and untied him.

Meowth was eating the picnic food while his teammates were watching on hungrily. "Meowth what about us?! Untie us too!" Jessie shouted angerily. James whimpered in sadness, "I want a donut!" Meowth frowned at them stopping in mid chew, "Quiet." Meowth got up and jumped on their shoulders, "We got to keep up this act until the Squritles trust me. That's gonna take a little time." He said with a smug grin and with that he ate James donut in front of his eyes.

Ash and the gang where sitting by the water bed. Ash was laying down at the moment with Brock looking at the scenery and Misty fishing for some pokemon. Ash was currently smiling to himself with his arms crossed behind his head looking up at the sky watching the clouds go by. He returned Evlon a little while ago to give her some rest. He wanted to have some relaxation at the moment with all those pranks the Squirtle squad did. Misty was looking at the wate calmly when she felt her fish pole pull. "Oh! I caught something!" She said in surprise and happiness for the challenge. Ash blinked and opened his eyes to her, "Really? Well let's see what'ca got Mist." Misty nodded to Ash. The gang looked to see a Squritle poke it's head out of the water and stare at them. Ash blinked at that. The Squritle then smirked and sprayed a water gun at them. "Huh!?" The gang shouted and were then soaking wet. It laughed at them seeing their misery. "I'm soaked!" Misty whined. "Me too." Ash said with growl, 'No one attacks me and gets away it.'

Ash got up at that and glared at the Squritle looking at him smugly, "I've had enough of your pranks Squirtle! You picked the wrong person to trick." Ash growled looking at the Squirtle dead on. The Squirtle froze seeing the scar-ed boy eyes staring at it. It swallowed and then grinned giving him a bring it on pose. Ash twitched an eyebrow. Misty and Brock winced knowing their friends temper now. Ash grabbed a pokeball, "So you want to continue to be a smug bastard now do you? Well then... I'll show you someone who doesn't take nicely to losers. Mystic! I choose you!" Ash shouted in anger.

His pokeball hit the water and in an instant the giant sea snake pokemon came out. Mystic roared and looked down at the Squirtle. Ash pointed to the lone turtle pokemon, "Give him hell Mystic! Dragon rage!" His Gyarados roared and fired the dragon attack right on center to the Squirtle. The Squirtle shrieked as it got hit. Ash watched and saw the Squirtle come back up in the water in a dizzy state.

The Squirtle squad watching in the bushes watched in horror at their buddy. Meowth bit his lip wondering if it was a good idea to jump out. 'The twerp looks pissed already... I don't know if it would be a good idea at all. Considering what happened to that Squirtle.' Meowth thought till he heard the leader of the Squirtle squad to continue it's plan.

The Squirtle squad and Meowth jumped out of the bushes then rope tied Ash and the gang. Ash cried out, "What the?!" He said falling down on the ground. Meowth smirked, "Looks like you won't be getting out of this one." Mysitc turned hearing her trainer cry out and turned to see the Squirtle squad and Meowth. She growled and roared at them. Meowth saw her and screamed, "Ah crap! I forgot about you!" Meowth shouted in panic. Ash glared at the cat pokemon, "Mystic Ice Fang!" The Gyarados roared and did her physical bit attack on the group of pokemon. The leader took most of the hits for his squad while they watched in awe for the leader. Meowth ran away hoping to avoid the pissed off trainer.

As this was happening Ash released Bastet on his belt to get him and his friends free. His cat pokemon instantly came out and mewed to him. "Hey girl. Can you get us free?" Ash said calmly. Bastet nodded and swiped her claws on the ropes and Ash was freed. He got up and looked at his Gyarados. Mystic was thrashing the squad. Ash whistled and Mystic stopped, "That's good girl. I think that's enough of a pounding for them." Ash stated. Mystic rumbled and leaned down for her trainer to pet her. Ash petted her head and stroked her chin, "What to do with them... I have a funny feeling their gonna target someone else after this." Ash said looking at the downed Squirtle squad. Misty and Brock walked over seeing Ash in a thinking pose. Ash turned to Misty, "Hey Mist? Do you have a Squirtle at the gym?" Misty blinked, "No. I don't think so." She said thinking it over. "How about you Brock?" Ash questioned looking at the other former gym leader. "I've never had a water pokemon at the gym." Brock stated looking at Ash weirdly. Ash nodded and thought it over, "Sense there are 5 Squirtles, I think we should split it. I get 1. Misty and Brock gets 1. Officer Jenny should get the other." Ash stated looking at the gang. The others looked shocked at this and then thought it over. "Ok Ash that sounds like a great idea. What about the other Squirtle?" Misty said looking at the Squirtles. Ash thought it over, "I can give 1 to Mom. She needs some protection and with her the Squirtle will learn some humility." Ash said thinking it over. The others nodded at the logic.

Misty threw her pokeball and hit one of the Squirtles and watched it struggle before it dinged and signaled that it was captured. Brock threw his pokeball and watched it flash then dinged. Brock then smiled to himself for having his first water pokemon. Ash threw a pokeball and it hit the floating Squirtle in the lake and it teleported in a instant sense the turtle pokemon was out. He turned to the leader and stated, "Your mine." He threw his pokeball and hit the leader in the shell. He watched the pokeball fight for a few minutes and then it dinged. It then teleported away. Ash smirked, "Got'ca." He saw the last Squirtle laying on the ground. Ash went to his bag and grabbed a storage ball. He threw it and captured the last one. He turned to the gang, "No more Squirtle squad. I think the town will sleep soundly tonight." Ash stated with a grin. The gang nodded agreeing with him. "Wait a second. We're forgetting someone... I happen to remember that Meowth was with them. I wonder where he went?" Ash questioned looking for the cat scratch pokemon.

(Bastet voice: Tara Strong: Raven's from Teen Titans)

Meowth was nervously hiding behind the tree where he came out of he hoped the twerps didn't look for him here. He heard the twerp with the scar saying something, "Alright Bastet look for Meowth." He then heard a sharp mew. His eyes widened, "That sounded like a..." Meowth said then felt a blur go past him hitting him in the face all at once.

He blinked and looked up at the thing dizzy eyed. At first all he saw was a blur of cream until he started making out the features. He saw to his amazement another Meowth looking at him calmly. "Me-owth!" He said with a catty grin. "Well hello there beautiful." Meowth said looking Bastet over with observing eyes. Bastet frowned at that response, "How about no." She circled the other Meowth looking him up and down. She stopped looking him over and sat down curling her tail around her. "So your the cat my trainer has a temper for." Bastet said quirking an eye at him. Meowth frowned at that, "It was just a scratch. Man the twerp can hold a grudge." He said with a huff. Bastet frowned, "He has all reason to be. He doesn't like pokemon who hurt him." She stated.

Meowth stared at her, "So the twerp was hurt by a pokemon close to him. Is that why he's like that?" Meowth questioned. Bastet bite her lip then reluctantly nodded, "Yes. It was his former starter. A Pikachu. It let him to die while he was protecting it from a flock of angry Spearow." Bastet said mournfully. Meowth looked at her in great surprise, "Damn. No wonder the twerp hates getting attacked. Those scars on the face and body must mean that he was attacked badly." Meowth said in pain feeling for the twerp. Bastet nodded, "He was in great pain the whole time. But in that hour, he gained 2 pokemon. They are considered his starters and saviors." Bastet said with a gentle smile. Meowth looked at her curiously, "And who would those be?" He said in question. "His Fearow and Gyarados. Or should, I say Talon and Mystic." Bastet said with a grin.

Meowth widened his eyes, "The twerp got those guys as his starters?! Those are one of the hardest pokemon to train. How did he manage that?!" He shouted to Bastet. The she cat smiled, "It was is fighting for survial. He took the pain from the flock of Spearow's better then some pokemon. He stayed awake the whole time fighting to stay alive. In their eyes, he gained their respect and saw him as the perfect trainer. Just as, I do." Bastet said in pride thinking of her trainer. Meowth nodded, "He sounds like a great guy even if he's a twerp." Bastet glared, "No, he isn't." She hissed out.

"Yes he is." Meowth said with a smirk. Bastet hissed, "Take it back!" The female Meowth hissed and unsheathed her claws. "Bring it on girlie. I can take you on!" Meowth shouted with his own claws out. "Your funeral!" With that she jumped and attacked. She started to unleash some attacks Meowth never knew his kind could do. "Night slash?! You know that?" He shouted in surprise. Bastet smirked, "It takes practice and good old training." Meowth dodged as much as he could from the female cat. He used his swipe attacks, but realized it wasn't doing much damage to her. Bastet then smirked, "I I think it's time to go back. Ash is probably wondering when, I'll show up with you. Let's go fuzzy." With that Bastet did a roll in the air and got her claws out. She came at him with a weird claw attack and smashed him out of the bushes and in front of her trainer. Meowth groaned and looked towards her, "What attack was that?!" Bastet smirked, "That was my new attack shadow claw."

Ash smiled, "Good job Bastet for getting Meowth!" Bastet mewed in pride for that hearing her trainers words. Then she froze and Meowth saw what was happening, "Ah no. Why into that thing." Ash watched in wonder at his cat scratch pokemon evolving. Bastet grew larger until the light faded away to reveal a strong Persian. Ash smiled, "Bastet! Wow you look lovely." His new Persian purred in that response and walked over to nuzzle his leg. Meowth watched with a sneer, "You Persians. Everyone always wants a Persian." Ash frowned after scratching Bastet under her chin, "Not everyone. I want pokemon who can become strong. Bastet looked already strong in my eyes." Ash said smiling to his big cat pokemon.

Meowth then realized, he was out in the open with the twerps without Jessie or James. "Ah... Heh heh... Look twerps how about, I's ran away and you guys can continue your trip without any problems." He said nervously. Ash looked him over with hard eyes searching into the lying cat pokemon. "Why should, I believe you?" He said with a scowl. Meowth froze at that, 'Crap... I wouldn't trust me either. I need to get away fast. Where are you Jessie and James?!' Meowth thought while backing away. "Look twerp. I know you don't believe me, but why don't you let me go and let by gones be by gones." Meowth stated with a grin.

Ash narrowed his eyes at this and looked down to his Persian, "Bastet. What do you think? Should I let him go?" Bastet blinked at her master and looked towards the sweating profusely Meowth. She huffed and shook her head. Ash widened his eyes, "You want me to let him go?" Ash said in astonishment. Bastet nodded and looked towards her master. Ash growled at this and glared at the Meowth. He walked right up to the pathetic cat pokemon and got his face an inch from Meowth. "Get out of my sight. Don't make me regret it." Ash said distastefully. Meowth nodded and ran off as fast as his legs could carry him. While running away he looked back to Bastet who gave him a calm look. 'Thanks for letting me off the hook queenie.'

Ash watched him go with calm eyes and looked down to Bastet. "That wasn't a good idea to let him go. But, I respect your reasons." Ash said with a sigh. He absently started to scratch Bastet behind her ear to show his thoughts of the event. "Come. Let's get this Squirtle to Officer Jenny." Ash stated. He got up and made his way to the gang.

They made their way to the Police Station with Ash smiling and stroking his Persian the whole way. Ash was happy to have his cat pokemon evolve into this big feline. He was also atoished that she was very thoughtful. 'If it were me. I would have totally have beaten that Meowth.' Ash thought while walking to their destination. He smiled afterwords though realizing that his pokemon had a peaceful side to her. He looked to her and petted her, "I'm glad that you have morals. Don't ever change that girl." Ash said softly to Bastet. The Persian purred in response to her trainer.

The gang smiled from behind Ash. They knew he had a temper and was hard to get him to see the light in talks. They were happy to know that one of his pokemon got him out of his anger. They were also surprised and touched that Ash got them Squirtles. Misty was happy because she never had one, but secretly wanted one for the gym. Brock was atsounded to have one. Never in his life did, he think that he would have a water pokemon, but life gave him one. That life had a name, Ash. Brock smiled to himself, 'Thanks Ash. I don't know what to do with a Squritle though. I'll see what life has in store for me in the future.' Brock thought looking up at the sky as he mused of what to do with that pokemon.

The gang saw the town in the distance. Ash turned to his Persian with a trickster grin, "Race you there!" Ash then took off like a rocket. Bastet blinked at this and widened her eyes at the speck of her trainer. She growled and took off in the sprint. The gang looked onwards to see the 2 specks in the distance. A sweat-drop appeared to them. "Just when you think, he grows up... He does something like that..." Misty said with groan and face planted. Brock gave a snort of a laugh and nodded, "He has those moments. Let's go catch up with them." Brock stated to Misty with a small smile. Misty sighed, but nodded.

Ash ran onwards and looked back to see Bastet right behind him, "Crap!" He sprinted as fast as his legs could carry him. He saw the Police Station just a few yards. He screeched to a stop with his legs. He stopped just in the neck of time before tripping ungracefully. Just then he felt a powerful force hit him from behind. He landed right smack on the ground face first. He felt something heavy on his back. "Ooof!" He groaned in pain wondering what was on his back. He turned his head to the side to see what was on his back. He saw a sheepish Bastet looking at him with the most innocent look she could muster. "Get...off...right...now..." Ash growled out to his Persian. His cat pokemon gave a small mew and jumped off immediately. Ash groaned and got up. He stretched his back in pain trying to get it better. He heard laughter and saw his friends laughing at him. "Oh ho ho... Funny is that? How about you guys have a pokemon on your backs and see how you feel afterwords? Be my guest!" The others looked away avoiding his gaze. "That's what, I thought." Ash said with a huff and then brushed the dirt off the front of his clothes.

He and the gang got to the front of Police Station. Ash smiled and walked through the doors. "Officer Jenny?" He looked around curiously at the workers, "Can we help you young man?" Ash looked at them and looked at them. "I need to talk to Officer Jenny. Is she here?" Ash questioned. The other officers blinked and looked at him. A female held up a finger, "One minute." She dialed Officer Jenny to see if she was in her office and after a few minutes the lady smiled. "She can see you now." Ash gave a grin, "Thanks!" With that he made his way to her office. He knocked a few times and heard come in.

Ash walked in to see Officer Jenny looking over papers at her desk. She looked focused on her task of documents. She looked up and saw Ash, "Oh! Hey Ash. What can, I do for you?" Jenny said placing her document down. Ash gave a grin and answered proudly, "I fixed it Officer Jenny." The police officer looked at Ash weird. "Fixed what Ash?" Jenny said curiously. "The Squirtle Squad. Me and the gang caught them." Ash stated. Officer Jenny's eyes widened, "What?! How!?" Ash smirked, "With a battle of course. I caught the leader and his buddy. Brock got one and Misty as well." Jenny looked at the kid amazed then remembered something, "Wait. There were 5 members of the Squirtle Squad. Where's the 5th one?" She questioned. Ash gave a soft smile and took off his bag. He reached in and ruffled through it, "It's right here." Ash said pulling out the storage pokeball. "I thought you could use it here." Ash said with a smile handing the officer the pokeball. She looked at Ash with wide eyes. "Really? You want to give him to me?" She said looking speechless. Ash gave her a gentle smile, "With what, I've heard of all the problems you've been dealing with here. I think you can at least know you have one under your watch." Ash stated. The officer blinked and gave a smirk hearing the statement, "That's very sneaky of you. Thank you Ash." Ash smiled and gave a nod, "Your welcome Officer Jenny." With that Ash gave her a salute and turned to the door, "Bye Officer Jenny. It's time for us to head out." The officer smiled, "I can see that, I wish you a fun journey Ash. May it lead to wonderful things." The gang nodded and walked out.

They headed on the dirt road. They turned back at the town and saw Officer Jenny waving to them goodbye. They smiled and waved to her back and started to walk. Ash felt Bastet rubbing against his leg and gave a smile. 'Yes. I wonder what type of journey will be for us. I guess we will see.' Ash thought to himself with a grin heading out.

End Chapter 10

Ash now has 2 Squirtles and a Persian. The normal Squirtle is going to be his mothers. The leader will be his. I wonder what he's gonna capture or have evolve next. Misty and Brock also got a Squirtles. I wonder what pokemon they will capture next. Review and tell me what you think should be on his pokemon journey in Kanto and other regions. Or what pokemon should he evolve. 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. Also if anyone wants to make any the more the merrier. I love that stuff.

I am not a writer. I'm an animator. So this story is a fun creation on my time. For viewers who wanted to know why there are some writing mistakes.
