Kanto Chapter 10

Ash and his friends arrived at Celadon City, they first went to the Pokemon center. Brock wanted to flirt with Nurse Joy, but he was pulled away by Misty.

"Hey, where did Ash go?" Misty then noticed Ash, Pikachu and Sylveon all went missing.

"I don't know." Brock said. Then they noticed a wonderful smell, they followed the smell and got to a perfume shop.

"Excuse me, how much does this perfume cost?"

Brock and Misty saw a girl with a Pikachu and a Sylveon admiring the aromas.

"Oh, this is our best aroma in this store, it is made by our gym leader, Erika. It costs 1500 Pokedollars."

The girl gave the manager the money and took the perfume.

"Thank you for buying the perfume." The manager said.

"No problem, and can I have a battle with you, I am also challenging the gyms. And you are the gym leader, Erika, right?"

Erika said, "Sure, I see that you broke my disguise. I will be waiting for you at the gym."

Before Ash walked away, Brock then bent one knee down and said, "Oh my, you are so pretty, do want to hang out with me since you captured my heart…"

Then Misty sighed and pulled his ear.

"Can you not do this so often?"

Ash giggled, "He is interesting."

Misty then looked at her, "Wait, you looked like one of my friend who just ran off without telling us."

"Really?"

"But he is a boy, not a girl."

"Oh. Well, I didn't see him. Sorry that I have to go to the gym."

Ash said as she walked away elegantly.

Brock said, "She is really beautiful."

Misty said, "Yes, but very suspicious. How about we followed her?"

"Good idea."

Meanwhile, Ash said, "Wow, Pikachu, Sylveon, they didn't recognize us."

"Yeah, your tail disguise really worked." Pikachu showed his tail.

"So do we have to battle in this form?" Sylveon asked.

"Sure, Erika won't know that I was a boy." They got to the gym and went inside, Erika was already waiting her.

"So you are here, what is your name?"

"I am Ashley Ketchum. I got 4 badges."

"Okay."

They both got to the field, the referee announced that the battle would be a 3 on 3.

Ashley noticed the field full of plants, she said, "Wow, this place looks beautiful."

"Why thank you, I maintained it so I can gather some ingredients for the perfume. Well, here is my first Pokemon, Tangela!"

Ash said, "Okay, Bulbasaur, I chose you!"

When the two Pokemon appeared, the battle started. Tangela started up with Growth to raise attacks, then it used Vine Whip on Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur dodged and used Sunny Day, then used Solar Beam. Tangela was hit, but very effective. It then used Leech Seed on Bulbasaur, starting to drain his energy, Bulbasaur used Poison Powder on Tangela, causing him to get poisoned, then followed by a super effective Venoshock, which caught Tangela off guard and fainted.

"You are very good, Ashley. Here is my second Pokemon, Victreebel!"

Bulbasaur kept staying on the field, but Victreebel shot a Weather ball and hurt Bulbasaur badly, then Bulbasaur fainted due to the Leech Seed.

"You did a great job, take a good rest."

Meanwhile, Misty and Brock arrived at the gym, Misty said, "The battle was already started."

Brock said, "Oh man."

Ash used Charmander next, Victreebel started off with Toxic, which poisoned Charmander, but Charmander used Scratch and damage it, then Victreebel tried to use Infestation to wrap Charmander, but it made a mistake since Charmander used Flamethrower and hurt it then followed by a Dragon Rage to make Victreebel faint.

"You raised your Charmander well, but here is my final Pokemon. Gloom."

When it appeared, Ash coughed at the smell it made.

"It is a good thing I brought a perfume." Ash said while smell some to feel better.

Gloom used Sleep Powder to make Charmander asleep, then followed by a Petal Blizzard and Sludge Bomb to make it faint.

"Return, Charmander. Go, Butterfree!"

Then Butterfree started with Silver Wind and hurt Gloom, Gloom tried to put him to sleep using Sleep Powder, but failed due to Safeguard. Then Gloom used Sludge Bomb, Butterfree flew high to dodge it, then it used Confusion to gave Gloom much damage. Erika was frustrated that she couldn't use static effects, she told Gloom to use Solar Beam, but Butterfree blocked it with Air Slash, then it used Quiver Dance to make Gloom confused, then finished it off with another Silver Wind.

"Gloom is unable to battle, Butterfree wins, which means the victory goes to Ashley!"

Ash cheered with Bitterfree flew around her, Erika sighed and tried to walk towards Gloom, but Team Rocket break through the window and said their motto.

"Team Rocket, why are you here?!" Erika asked.

"We are trying to steal your perfume!" Then the group started the fire, causing the gym to be burning.

"Oh no! My plants!"

Ash said, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt on these troublemakers."

The trio tried to protest about being the troublemaker that they didn't notice a Thunderbolt, they were blasting off again.

Ash took out Squirtle, Krabby and Gyarados to put out the fire, but most of the plants were gone.

"Miss Erika, I am sorry that happened."

She was held by gym trainers and said, "It is not your fault, Ashley. Thank you for putting out the fire. These plants can grow, I have more seeds to do so."

One gym trainer took a badge and gave it to Ash.

"This is the Rainbow Badge, you earned it."

Ash got it and thanked her, then she went to the Pokemon Center. Sh changed back to her male form and went to find Misty and Brock.

"Hi, Misty, Brock."

"Ash, where were you the whole time?" Misty asked angrily.

"I just challenged the gym. I got my badge."

Brock said, "But we were outside the gym before the fire, how come we didn't see you?"

Ash smiled, "Well, did you see the girl who was challenging the gym?"

"Yes, she also brought a perfume."

"News flash, that was me."

Misty and Brock was shocked. "What?! You were that girl?" Misty was shocked.

"How can't I not notice it?" Brock cried in anime tears.

"Looks like my disguise was so good, I guess."

"Agreed!" His Pokemon said.

Brock said, "So you got your gym badge, how about we go to Fuchasa City?"

"Sure."

Before they left the city, they came across a Game Corner

"What is this?" Ash asked.

"Oh, it is a Game Corner, a place where we can play arcade games." Brock said.

"Cool, let's go check it out."

They went inside and played some games, making money, but when they went to the counter, they saw some Pokemon being held in the cage.

"Hey, what did you do to those Pokemons?"

The lady said, "Sir, they were for sale, if you got 10 game coins, you can trade 1 Eevee, then 20 for a Dratini, and 100 for a Porygon."

"But it is not right to sell Pokemon! They are beings like us!"

Just then, the door closed and the alarms appeared, the workers all took off their disguises.

"Team Rocket!" Ash said.

"Capture all of them!" One grunt said. Then Ash used Pikachu and Sylveon to battle them, when they were defeated, they found a hidden passage, which lead to their base.

"We are in Team Rocket's hideout, I guess." Ash said.

"What should we do?" Sylveon asked.

"We will battle our way and capture as many grunts as we can."

Ash also called Lance about finding Team Rocket's hideout, he said that he will send reinforcements.

Ash took out all of his Pokemon and battled the grunts and saving some Pokemon, while Misty and Brock were battling those in the game center.

They went more deeper and found Giovanni sitting on a chair.

"Welcome to our base, Ash Ketchum."

"Giovanni.." Ash hissed.

"You foiled our plan so many times, but it doesn't matter, right now you are in our base. And I know you are not human." Giovanni smirked.

Ash says, "How do you know?"

"I have known your father for years, do you think I don't know his son is the same as him?"

Ash took a step back, "So? Yes, I am not human, but that doesn't mean I will allow myself to be captured."

Giovanni laughed, "Of course you won't, but you are going to be defeated here."

He sent out a Rhydon, "Horn Drill on that kid!"

Ash quickly changed into flying type and dodge the attack. Ash then fired a Solar Beam and hit Rhydon.

"It seems you are also a stong Pokemon."

"Talk all you like."

Rhydon used Stone Edge, but Ash used Shadow Ball to block the attack, then he used Hydro Pump, which hurt Rhydon badly. Ash said, "I am sorry." He finished Rhydon with a Focus Blast.

"So you beat my Rhydon, it doesn't matter." He said as the grunts appeared from the sides.

"Now capture …" Before he could end, the sirens went off and International Police came in.

"International Police… Everyone, retreat!"

Giovanni turned to Ash, "This is only just one of hideouts, I will see you fall to your doom."

Then they were gone from their sight.

Lance asked, "Where is Giovanni?"

Ash said, "I beat him, but he escaped."

"I see, Ash, you should take a rest, we captured a lot of the members."

"Good."

Ash went back outside and met up with Misty and Brock, they bid farewell to Lance and head towards Fuchsia City.

The second encounter of Giovanni is ended, Giovanni also knew Ash's secrets.

Right now Ash got 5 badges, the next chapter will be showing the events before Fuchsia Gym.
