After leaving town Ash continued on with his journey after couple days he found himself in Petalburg City where he only stayed for a day before he moved on. 3 days later he found the gates to the Forbidden forest there was a huge wall around it. Ash could go in but he didn't want to because he knew it would delay him further so he moved on. Ash passed through a small town and a day later he was sitting by a lake enjoying lunch.

When a huge Pokemon came out of the water "Sir this is the Pokemon Whiscash and based on the size I would say this is the local legend known as Nero."

Ash could see the Pokemon wasn't looking well at all and it came towards them he guessed coming for his lunch. "Marshtomp I choose you."

Marshtomp was doing well but this Whiscash even being sick was holding his on. He noticed people gathering around and he heard whispering he knew they were talking about the battle against the legend. Marshtomp was hit and didn't look to be getting up but then he glowed white and evolved into Swampert.

Swampert managed to hit Whiscash in the stomach and it caused the Pokemon to throw up and it smelled awful there were Poke balls and evolution stones and badge cases and fishing lures. This Pokemon ate anything it got near its mouth no wonder it looked sick he would be sure to stay away from its mouth. "Alright Swampert finish this off with Hammer arm under its jaw and send it into the air."

Swampert arm glowed and he smacked Whiscash just under the jaw and sent it flying into the air. Ash ran and made sure to get under it and threw the Poke ball at its stomach he was using a heavy ball. Whiscash was sucked inside Ash heard it ding and was whisked away "Sir I have sent it off to the legendary keeper."

Ash thought it a good idea he turned around people were shocked he caught the Whiscash some people walked away grumbling. Ash walked over and had Swampert wash off the items Whiscash threw up. He took off his back pack and put the lures in with his and he looked over the badges he had all the badges for Kanto Johto and Hoenn some of them where old badges because each gym leader designed their own badge. He kept them he didn't need them but some people collected badges because craved on the badge was the year the badge was good for.

He put the evolution stones inside of the case and as he looked at the Poke balls Jarvis chimed in "Sir those Poke balls are not registered for an owner."

Ash knew a person could clam a Poke ball lost and they would have to have a good excuse and he was sure the Poke center nearby would back up an owners claim. Ash was shocked because mixed in with the balls was 8 master balls these where the best balls to have ash right now had only one him. They were expensive and very few made he was sure his dad just gave a person a refund for these he was glad to have them in his collection.

He put everything away congratulated Swampert on evolving and for a great battle and returned him and then continued on with his journey when he saw a weird bouncing Pokemon. Ash then saw a Pokemon he hadn't seen since he had been in Kanto an Electrode. It rolled next to the bouncing Pokemon and exploded. The smoke cleared and both Pokemon where passed out "Sir that is a Spoink the bounce Pokemon the pearl on its head focus its psychic powers."

Ash wasn't going to let the opportunity pass him and he caught both Pokemon ask knew he needed an Electrode and h was one step closer to catching all Kanto Pokemon. Ash continued and stopped for the night trained his Pokemon and had dinner and the next morning he headed out. He found himself a day later out running a storm and he saw an abandoned mansion and he ran in and he sat up camp in the mansion that looked to be in major disrepair he noticed something he went off with mew to see what it was.

Ash wasted over an hour he felt like something was missing with him ad Jarvis couldn't seem to pinpoint it and moved to fast for mew to find out what it was. Mew finally got a lock on it and knocked it with one move and Ash caught the Pokemon. Jarvis filled him in "Shuppet the puppet Pokemon it is said it grows by feeding on human anger and various other attitudes."

Ash thought about and he had an idea for the Pokemon but it would have to wait until he called his mom. He went back to camp which Pikachu was guarding he stayed there for the rest of the night and he decided to train his ghost Pokemon he thought it fitting do so in here. Ash headed down the road and a few days later he found himself again looking for shelter as the weather once again turned he spotted a building he ran in.

A woman greeted him with a smile "Congratulations trainer you have figured out today's radio clue and you are one of the lucky ones to get a Castform please hand me a Poke ball so I can transfer the Pokemon over to you."

Ash pulled out a Poke ball "does it count if I don't know what you are talking about and have no clue what the Pokemon you are giving out is?"

The woman took his Poke ball "we will let it slide it doesn't look good if we don't have a winner because the clue was too hard. As for what Pokemon it is the Pokemon is Castform it is the weather Pokemon it changes its appearance based on the weather." She placed the ball on the machine and the ball was whisked when it was done "I am sure you just ran in here to get out of the rain I can give you a ride to Fortree city if you would like."

Ash took her up on the offer and she dropped him off at the Pokemon center where he checked in and stayed in his room for the night and relaxed. The next day he noticed something he walked up to woman at the front desk. "Ma'am what is going out there?"

She gave him a smile "today is the Feather Carnival a once a year celebration of the city in the sky."

Ash decided his shopping could hold off as he explored the city. He played a few games but never won anything he finally came to a ring toss game. "Get a ring on the bottle win a Chimecho this Pokemon is the wind chime Pokemon it is rare to spot in the wild."

Ash thought he would give his hand he bought some rings he was down to his last ring when as he tossed the ring someone bumped him and threw off his aim. It hit a pillar and bounced off at just the right angle to hit the ceiling where it bounced off the table where the bottles where it bounced up and looped around a bottle. The guy at the both gave him an odd look he held out his hand "I am going to need an empty Poke ball so you may claim your prize."

The guy took the ball and put it into the machine and the ball was whisked away. Ash decided to stop playing and he enjoyed the rest of the festival and the next day he did his shopping and eh called his mom and had Shuppet placed in the therapist office in his home town and the day after he headed out back on the road.

Author Note- I was thinking about something that occurred to me the other day and I thought I would share it. In the cartoon not my story everyone is wondering why Ash is 10 years old throughout the series. The Pokemon world isn't Earth so since they never gives us dates who is to say how long a year is in the Pokemon world I mean Neptune takes about 164 Earth years to orbit our sun. So who is to say how long it takes the Pokemon world to rotate there sun so you see it is possible after all this time for Ash to be 10 years old still.
