Last Time on Starting Things Differently:

Ash called out Mystic to get them to land. She roared and saved her trainer and his friends. "Thanks girl." Ash said as they got to land. They all smiled happily to get off the island and on another island that could take them to the place they wanted to be. Team Rocket seemed to disappear after they got on land. Ash and the gang didn't care as long as they were back on track.

Ash heard cooing and looked down face to face with his Magby, Volcan. "I'm so glad your safe!" Ash said lifting the baby pokemon and spinning him around. The Magby shrieked at this, "Maggby!" The others laughed at this. Ash smiled and hugged his baby Magby then started to sing a tune.

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When the skies are grey
You'll never know dear
How much I love you
So please don't take
My sunshine
Away

Ash and the gang were walking out of the forest and when they retched a view point they stopped in minutes. What they all saw took their breath away. It was a big city by the beach. "It's Porta Vista!" Misty shouted in happiness. "Alright! The beach!" Ash shouted in glee to finally be in a major place. "I can't to hit the beach!" Misty said in amazement. "The beach! Let's go!" Brock shouted.

They all started run towards the beach in happiness. Volcan cooing the way laughing at his Daddy.


Present:

Ash and the gang were currently at the beach relaxing. Brock was swimming in the water. Misty went to go to a changing booth to get on her swim suit. Ash was sitting in the sand with Volcan watching him make a sand castle. Ash was currently wearing his black turtleneck and his navy swimming trunks. He was smiling softly and the giggling Magby. "Hey Ash!" Ash looked over to Brock in the water. "Come on in the waters great!" Brock said diving into the water and back up. Ash gave a reluctant smile, "Nah. I'm fine where, I am Brock." Ash said with a forced smile. He tightened his grip on his turtleneck sleeve.

Brock frowned at that wondering why he didn't want to get in the water on a gorgeous day like this. That was till he remembered Ash's scars. He winced and got out of the water. He walked over to Ash and sat down beside him. "Hey Ash. It'll be alright. No one's gonna make fun or anything at you." Brock told Ash gently. "But, I don't want to freak them out." Ash said sadly. Brock frowned, "This isn't a pivate beach. They don't have a say in anything. Come on. Just stay with me and you'll be fine." Brock said looking at Ash calmly. Ash blinked at him with innocent eyes, "Really?" Brock smiled, "Yes. I'll be right beside you." Ash gave a small smile and went to take off his shirt. The minute he took it off he could feel the stares already. Brock was frowning at the sight of them but still waited for Ash to go with him in the water. Ash smiled at his friend and went to grab Volcan so he could get a dip in the water.

Ash followed Brock to the water and saw some people trying not to look directly at him and not get caught. He still saw them. The sound of Volcan's giggling made his nervousness disappear. He walked in the water front and held him up. Whenever a wave came Ash lifted him and deep it repeatedly. He got the Magby's feet wet a little and picked him up and threw him a little to catch him. The people who were staring at his scars before were now watching his gentle interaction with his baby pokemon. He heard girls giggling and blushing at him. Ash looked flustered and went back to his giggling Magby. The guys were muttering and shrugged.

"Hey, I thought you guys were gonna wait for me when, I got back from the snack bar?" Said the voice of Misty as she walked towards them. She was wearing a little red bikini. Her eyes went wide seeing Ash's scars before looking sad. Ash saw this, "It's alright Mist. Brock is helping me focus on the water instead of the people. Of course Volcan's helping too." Ash said with a smile seeing Volcan toddle towards Misty. Misty giggled seeing the Magby and went to pick it up. She hugged it and kissed his cheek. "Oh your soooo cute!" She shrieked out. The Magby cooed, "Maaggby!" Ash smiled watching his baby pokemon's actions.


Team Rocket was currently underwater in a manmade Gyarados submarine. They looked happy to try and steal other people's pokemon in Porta Vista. They thought sense with the Gyarados submarine they could scare tourists and get easy money and pokemon. They then saw something that made them freeze on the camera screen. They saw the twerps go past them in a speed boat.


Ash and Volcan were sighing in happiness. They were on a speed boat with Ash steering. Volcan was sitting on Ash's shoulders. Brock and Misty were laughing at the feel of the air heading them. "The boat's beautiful! Who's it belong to?" Misty questioned. Ash froze at this, "I dunno. Brock's the one who borrowed it. I guess he has some pretty rich friends." Ash said in humor. Brock frowned, "I didn't borrow it." Misty looked scared, "Ash! Your the one who told me to come on board!" Ash frowned, "I saw Brock get on." Ash said firmly. Brock shook his head firmly, "Wait a second! I was only following Volcan. He went onto this boat and, I thought Ash was getting this boat." Brock said nervously. Ash looked scared by this point, "I think we're in trouble." Ash whispered. That was on everyone's thoughts.

Volcan saw incoming danger, "Mag mag by!" The Magby pointed firmly to the dangerous thing incoming. It was a weird fin in the water and Ash tried to dodge it, but smacked it instead. The baot went flying and Ash lost control of the steering. Ash then saw a boat dock in front of them after hearing Volcan's yell again. Ash yelped and knew he couldn't stop the boat in time. He grabbed his baby and hit the floor. Misty and Brock followed his action and braced for impacted. They smashed into the dock with great force. Everyone groaned at this and Volcan started to cry till Ash quieted him.

Ash heard yelling and looked to see an old man running towards them, "What do you think you dong you little hoodlums vandals think your doing?!" Shouted the old man. He was wearing an orange and green tie dye shirt. Bright blue shorts. Rice hat and long wooden stick. He was glaring fiercely at Ash and the gang. "First you steal my boat then destroy my dock?! You'll pay for this!" The old man said shouting at them while pointing his stick at them. Ash gave a sheepish grin, "This is all a misunderstanding." Ash said nervously. The old man frowned, "I don't believe you." Ash scratched his head nervously, "Look, I didn't mean to take your boat. No one did really." The old man didn't look convinced. "Look sir. I'll be happy to pay for the damages." Ash said looking at the old man honestly. "You would?" The man said in shock. Ash nodded then felt Brock's hand on his shoulder, "We'd all by happy to pay for the damages." Brock said firmly knowing that they all were in fault here. The man nodded, "Alright. I'll see to it that you'll work to pay it." They nodded.


Team Rocket were groaning but were happy to be alive. The twerps smashed into their Gyarados submarine and they almost sinked if it wasn't for their quick thinking. They started complaining about having to make fixes and payment to their boat. They were interrupted by a sound of an old lady, "Hey!"

They looked over to the old lady. She was very short and had her red hair tied in 2 side ponytails. She wore a bright red dress and wooden sandles. She was currently taping her foot impatiently at them in anger. "This beach is only for my restaurant patricians only and, I don't need no bums." She said angrily. James got up in a snap, "Heh. Don't be like that. Maybe you need some waiters?" James said laughing nervously. Jessie looked shocked at this, "Surely you can't be serious James?" Meowth looked at her, "But Jessie we need the money to fix our Gyarados boat." Jessie heard that and sighed knowing it was true. The old lady snorted, "Working for me isn't easy. I can be brutal." James laughed sheepishly, "We work with Jessie so we know all about brutal." Jessie glared at him at that comment.


Ash and crew were currently in front of the restaurant trying to pay their damages to the old man. They were currently trying to attract customers. So far it wasn't working out so good. Ash was holding Volcan the whole time trying to get some attention. He seemed to get girls to come over and wanting to see his Magby, but so far not many wanted to stay. Brock was trying to get customers, but they seemed to think the restaurant looked to be a dump. Ash narrowed his eyes at them, "Don't judge a book by it's cover." He snorted at them. Volcan looked at him and cooed. Ash smiled, "Daddy's just annoyed." Volcan nodded and went back to looking at the people curiously. A couple went up to Brock, "Table for 2?" Brock asked. The man asked his girlfriend if she wanted to go in and dragged him off to the restaurant beside theirs saying that the place looked disgusting. Ash narrowed his eyes at her shallowness. "Hope you don't drown in it." Ash chirped. Ash sighed then looked at the tank top he was wearing. He also thought he might also be scaring some of the customers away with his scars, but didn't want to admit that. The old man saw him sweating and made him change his turtleneck. He was silent about seeing his scars, Ash thought the man thought they were scary. He was interupted by his Magby giggling and he smiled at the sight. He then sighed soon afterwords.

Ash glanced over to the other restaurant to see why all the customers were going to there. What he was made him almost fall over. He saw Team Rocket acting as workers there. Jessie greeting and James and Meowth the waiters. Jessie saw them looking and stuck her tongue out. "A good restaurant brings top quality people." James smirked, "And a no quality dine attracts the bottom feeders." Meowth joined in, "Yeah you losers!" Ash glared at the cat pokemon making the said cat flench then shrug it off.

Ash and crew were seeing red at this point. They were shaking in anger. Ash shook bringing a fist up while his eyes were shut. Volcan was looking at Ash in concern. Ash opened his eyes and growled, "We'll show them we're not losers!" He placed Volcan down and went to grab his pokeballs. "Evlon! Torch! Talon! Bastet! Quake! Naga!" Ash shouted and released his pokemon. They all screamed in freedom. They looked to Ash calmly. "Alright here's the plan. Quake and Naga will hand out the flyers. Talon can use his wings like a fan to keep the charcoal hot. Torch can help out by keeping the flame boling. While Evlon and Bastet will help Misty wait customers!" Ash said looking pleased. His pokemon screeched and went to work.

Soon they started getting customers like crazy. Ash was smiling and greeting them while they came in. Most of the girls were going nuts at the sight of Magby and were saying comments to him being a cute poke Dad. He blushed hotly and quickly ushered them in the restaurant. Soon it became to much for people to get in. So Ash and Brock started to make outside table booths. They opened umbrellas and still continued their greetings. Ash still saw girls looking at him giggling and went to work trying to ignore them. Volcan cooed at them making them squeal more at the sight of him. Ash sighed, 'It's for a good cause.' People were commenting to Ash about the pokemon. "What wonderful pokemon." "This restaurant is amazing using pokemon." Ash smiled hearing the comments about his pokemon.

The other restaurant were Team Rocket was only bare. There were hardly any customers and were checking out the twerps restaurant. They weren't happy that they weren't getting customers and they wanted to make more money. They decided they were gonna try and sabotage the twerps restaurant.

They started by getting the flyers to blow away from Quake and Naga. They hissed and squeaked to get them to come back. Meowth smirked pushing the button on a fan. Meowth opened a window to the restaurant and put a cord in. He made it go straight to the fire of the oven. He started putting a lot of fuel in there to make to much fire. Meowth also started making the floor slippery at the restaurant so Misty, Evlon and Bastet keep dropping food and drinks. This sabotaging seemed to work as customers started to leave.

Ash frowned looking at the ghost town restaurant. "What went wrong?" He questioned. Volcan nodded agreeing with his Daddy. "Everything apparently." Brock stated wondering the same. They all went into the restaurant looking bummed at this. Ash's pokemon were all crowded around him wanting to meet the baby and him giving them affection. Ash smiled softly and petted them each. Ash turned to the old man, "Moe. We're really about how we messed things up for ya." Ash said sadly. The old man Moe turned to look at Ash, "You all did the best you could. At least things were going well for a while till those accidents happening." He said with a smile. Ash frowned, "I guess so." Misty then shouted realizing something, "Somethings weird! If those were all accidents?!" She said thinking differently.

"Well well." Said a female voice. They all looked over to see an old lady staring at them with a smirk with Team Rocket standing behind her. "Brutella!" Moe shouted in shock. "And Team Rocket." Ash said with anger as he held tightly to Volcan. The Magby saw his Daddy glaring at them and did the same. "Don't need to get a reservation to get in here anymore. If things keep up like this you might go out of business Moe." Brutella said smugly. Moe got up at that comment. Ash joining him soon after growling at that, "What do you care?!" Ash shouted feeling concerned for Moe. "I couldn't care less if this dump goes under, but you better soon pay me back the doe you owe me and fast!" Brutella said in a cocky voice. Moe frowned, "You'll get'ca money!" He said firmly. "Yeah? I want it tomorrow! And if you don't, I'll take every penny of a boat of your instead." Brutella shouted and started walk away. Moe looked horrified at this, "No! Anything but not that boat!" He shouted franticly. Brutella snorted, "See ya tomorrow!" She then left the restaurant. Team Rocket smirked at them and commented about the short time they had. They laughed till Ash's glare and dangerous pokemon staring hard at them. They soon left. "We'll see about that." Ash said in anger.

Moe sat down in his seat nervously. "The deadlines tomorrow. I can't make that kind of money in less then a day! I guess, I'll have to hand my boat over to Brutella." Moe said sadly. Misty looked down seeing his heart broken face, "That's so sad." Ash growled, "Wait Moe! That boat is real important to you isn't it?" Ash asked holding Volcan at his side. Moe looked up, "For years, I've dreamed of going around the world in it. I wanted to see the world, but I guess it's to late to be." Moe said sadly. Ash looked saddened by this, "Don't say that Moe! You can't give up on your dream!" Ash said in major concern. Moe looked at him taken back, "Huh?" Ash nodded his head, "You have to follow your dream no matter how bad it is. It's always been my dream to be a world renown pokemon trainer. Even if it's not easy, I still won't give up on my dream. So please Moe. Don't give up on your dream." Ash said with a wise smile. Volcan cooed at this. Moe looked at the baby pokemon and gave a smile. Brock nodded, "Ash is right. You can't have that lady take your boat away." Ash nodded, "We can get the money some how." Ash said firmly. Misty nodded, "We'll do it together!" Ash's pokemon nodded showing they agreed with them.

Moe blinked and looked at them all in shock, "You think it's possible?" He said in disbelief. Ash gave a warm smile, "Anything's possible Moe. We're gonna make it happen!" Ash said softly. Moe's eyes went warm then he frowned, "But how?" Ash was lost at that. He didn't know what to say. Him and the gang looked at each other hoping for an idea.

"Mind if, I make a suggestion?" Said a voice. Ash heard the familiar voice and turned to it. He saw Professor Oak standing in the front of the restaurant. "Professor Oak!" Ash said with a grin. He ran over to the Pallet Town Professor. "What are you doing here?" Ash questioned but was happy to see him. Volcan cooed and Professor Oak peered the baby in great interest. Coming from behind Professor Oak came a women. She smiled at everyone and looked at Ash strongly. Ash saw her and gave a big smile, "Mom!" He ran over and hugged her. She laughed and hugged him back tightly. She was glad to have her little baby in her arms again. She then heard a whimper and saw Ash pulling away from her. She saw him trying to calm down a baby pokemon in his arms. "Who's this Ash?" She questioned making a funny face at the curious Magby. Ash blushed, "This is my baby Magby, Volcan." Ash said sheepishly. She laughed and held out her arms to see the baby. Ash blinked and then smiled handing Volcan over. Magby started to whimper till he heard Ash say, "Don't worry, I'm just right here." He said calmly. The baby nodded and let Ash's mom hug him. The Magby was giggling soon afterwords.

Professor Oak started to explain the way to save the restaurant. He explained that there was gonna be a beach beauty contest today. People in the contest would make the restaurant be well known. Flyers would be handed out so everyone could be in it. Also the restaurant serving the food would make it more popular. Everyone nodded at this thinking that was a great idea. Misty wanted to be a part of the beauty contest. While Ash was thinking of entering his pokemon in the costume contest. They wanted to win the cash prizes.

Talon flew off to drop the flyers and soon their were people making a huge line. Most of the people in the contest were girls. Ash was smiling at it all happy that it was working. "Professor Oak's idea worked." Ash said in happiness. "Its packed." Misty perked. Moe was smiling happily, "And, I'll be able to pay Brutella her money." He said crying a little. They smiled at Moe. Brutella watching this from her hiding spot was pissed to the statement.

Ash was not currently in the stands with his mother and Professor Oak. He had Volcan sitting in his lap cooing like crazy. "Professor Oak and I are here for our tour group. The Pallet Town Peer Patrol." Ash's mom Delia said with a smile. Ash gave a warm smile, "That's great mom. I'm glad you showed up." Professor Oak peered over Delia's shoulder to look at Ash, "Your mother's been worried about you Ash. She says she thinks of you as her little pumpkin!" The Professor said with a grin. Ash froze, "That makes me sound like a baby?!" Volcan looked up at that comment, "Not you baby. Just me." Ash said sheepishly with a sweat-drop. Delia smiled, "You'll always be my baby won't you?" She said happily. Ash nervously laughed, "Yeah." Delia smiled, "Well, I hope your not eating a lot of junk food and staying out of trouble!" She singed. Ash jumped at that, "Of course not-" He froze after that sentence realizing he was in trouble. He looked down, "At least not much trouble." Delia frowned, "What's that mean?" Moe saw Ash's crestfallen face and butted in, "I'm the one who's in trouble Miss Ketchum. Ash helped out at my restaurant when, I really needed help. But even more importantly your son has been a great impression for me!" Moe said ending with a warm smile to Ash. Delia giggled, "That's wonderful! What a relief." Ash could only stare at Moe in shock and gave a gentle smile, "Thanks Moe." The old man smiled and nodded.

The beauty contest started and everyone watched in interest. Brock was the host and started to talk. He explained the contestants and what they were in or doing. He explained it was a beauty and pokemon costume contest. Ash smirked at this having his pokemon in it. He was hoping she'd listen to Misty backstage. Brock named the first contestant. Misty came on stage in her swim suit on and smiled at people. Brock then said what pokemon costume she was using. "Misty is using another trainer's Persian and her Starmie to make the Goddess Bastet. Wow what a costume!"Brock shouted at once. Everyone seemed to agree. Even Misty was blown. The curtains lifted to show the pokemon in costume. Bastet came on stage sitting on Starmie. She was dressed in the robes and head dress of the Egyptian cat goddess. Everyone held their breath at this in wonderment. Ash smiled at the sight of his Bastet. "I knew she'd make them speechless." Ash said with a laugh. Professor Oak looked amazed by that. He was blown away how commanding Ash was with his pokemon. He was amazed to know how affectionate that Persian was with Ash as well. He wondered how many of Ash's pokemon were like that. Soon Misty's turn ended.

"The next contestant is 2 pokemon calling themselves the Rocket Boosters? They are in the shape of a rare pokemon." Brock said in question. Ash glared, "Their from Team Rocket." He said angrily. Volcan cooed and copied his Daddy with glaring at them as well. Professor Oak laughed silently at the sight. The curtains lifted to show Ekans and Koffing. They were in different shapes. Koffing in front with some seaweed in the front of it with Ekans curled up in the back. "This is a interesting costume. I believe this is to be Omastar. I believe the pokemon are to be Ekans and Koffing." Soon after saying that the 2 pokemon were kicked off Stage. "Get lost!" A boy said arrogantly.

Everyone stared ahead at them at the guy on the stage surrounded by his fan girls. Ash froze, "It's Gary." He whispered in shock and anger. Gary was smirking and staring at the crowd smugly. "And now we have a surprise appearance of Gary Oak! The up and coming pokemon trainer accompanied by his beautiful fans!" Brock said in the mic. Everyone screamed agreeing with Brock. Professor Oak sweat-dropped and turned to Ash, "I forgot to mention that my grandson came along with us." The Professor said sheepishly. Ash growled, "That's just great." He said twitching an eyebrow but the cooing of Volcan calmed him down somewhat. The Professor saw this and sighed in relief that was until he heard Gary.

"Ash! I know your out in the crowd somewhere! But, I didn't come to make you jealous of me Ash. I came here so some of my beautiful fan club members could make you jealous of me!" Gary said arrogantly. His girls chirped, "Gary! Gary! He's are man! He'll trash Ash like we know he can!" They said happily. Gary smirked and turned to them, "Thank you fans! Great cheer!" Then turned to look at the crowd with a smirk, "I wrote that one myself Ashy!" Ash was seeing red at this point. He got up giving Volcan to his mother to watch. He didn't want to do something he'd regret with Volcan with him. Ash shouted, "That bastard!" Ash then ran towards the stage. His appearance seemed to make people flinch at the sight of his scars and hollow eye that looked to glow in his anger. They yelped and stayed firmly in their seats. They feared for whoever pissed off that guy. Professor Oak face palmed at this.

Brock was currently having a hard time picking a contestant he liked with Gary's fan girls. Misty looked bummed at this point knowing she was done in the contest. She then knew Ash's Persian would win the costume contest. She smiled at this a little. At least they'd earn a prize.

While the contest was going on Brutella was getting Team Rocket to do their dirty work for her sense she knew they were Rocket agents. She said she fixed their Gyarados submarine if they could do something for her. She ordered them to wreck the beauty contest and to destroy Moe's restaurant. They were more then willing to agree. They jumped into their submarine and took off to the beach.

Ash finally reached the stage. "Gary! You bastard!" Ash shouted and walked onto the stage. Gary turned to address Ash then froze in place seeing his rivals scars. "Wha? Ash! What happened to you?!" Gary shouted in alarm seeing his rival carved up. Ash got face to face with Gary. "No come backs? Where's your words Gare-bear?" Ash said with a sneer. His hollow eye scaring Gary. "Ash. Stop this. I mean it. What happened?" Gary said looking nervous at the way Ash was acting. In all those years growing up, he never saw Ash this dangerous looking. Ash glared and touched his left eye, "Oh. Just some rat that needs a lesson." Ash said coldly. Gary swallowed, "Alright Ash. I can see my actions got to you. But, I need you to calm down." Ash huffed and looked Gary in the eye, "Your actions? Gary you've been like this since forever. Your always pranking and taunting me. I'll never take you seriously." Ash said stonily. Gary winced at the burn as did the audience. Then Gary smirked, "I can see one thing is still the same." Ash frowned as he lifted a brow, "And what's that?" "You being an immature trainer and you having that nasty temper. You always did have a fiery temper." Gary said arrogantly. Ash growled at this, "No, I'm not!" Ash snarled out getting ready to deck Gary till Brock grabbed him from doing so.

While this was happening Team Rocket was watching him from their submarine. They smirked to themselves ready to scare the contestants and tourists away. They hit the button and got the land gear. They got on land and started to scare the tourists by acting like a Gyarados. People started screaming and running away. This caught Ash and Gary's attention. "Wha?" Ash questioned. He looked hard at the Gyarados sense he knew them by heart. He saw to his surprise and anger that it was a fake. Ash grabbed Brock's mircophone, "Just stay calm everybody. That things not a real Gyarados! It's a fake! It's a phoney! It's just a phoney Gyarados!" Ash shouted trying to calm everyone down. Everyone froze at that statement and blinked at this, "A fake?" They all asked to each other in question. "Team Rocket is trying to ruin the contest and scare everyone away! But we're not gonna let them!" Ash said firmly. Everyone stared at the scar-ed boy in amazement. Delia smiled hugging Volcan who shrieked at his Daddy, "That's my boy." Professor Oak smiled and nodded, "He's quite a boy."

Team Rocket seemed that they were pissed with Ash as they fired a missile at him. Gary smirked, "So know what are you gonna do Ash freak out?" Ash glared and grabbed his pokemon. "Just watch me." He turned to the uncoming missile. "I choose you! Talon! Torch!" Out of his pokeballs came a Fearow and Charmander. Talon grabbed Torch and lifted him in the air. "Flame thrower!" Ash shouted pointing to the fake Gyarados. Torch blew his fire and it fight the missile. Gary was shocked at the sight of Fearow he knew they were hard to train and he was amazed to see his rival commanding it like nothing. He swallowed wondering what other pokemon Ash could command. He was worried to see what his rival could use.

Team Rocket was horrified that the heat seeking missile was after them. They shrieked and went to turn tail and run. They led their submarine to Brutella's restaurant. She screamed at them to stop, but they couldn't. They smashed into her restaurant with the missile hitting them soon afterwords. It made the restaurant explode. They all went flying and Team Rocket blasted off again. Ash and crew screamed in happiness that they were gone.

Ash and the gang were now currently waving at Moe who could now do his dream, "So you Moe!" Ash said happily while waving at the old man goodbye. Moe turned to them on his boat and smiled at Ash, "So long everyone! Thanks for your help! Goodbye Ash! Thanks for helping my dream come true!" Moe said waving goodbye till he was a speck. "Thanks Moe! Good luck to you too!" Ash said smiling. Volcan squealed and waved both arms goodbye which made everyone laugh. Ash laughed and kissed his Magby's forehead, "Silly boy." They walked off the peer and greeted Professor Oak and Delia. "We have to get going too Mom." Ash said sadly. Volcan whimpered starting to like the lady. Ash rocked him and smiled at his mother warmly. Delia smiled at this and her son, "I know." She whispered as she tightened her grip on a trophy in her arms. "I'm going to make you proud of me." Ash said firmly. Delia smiled warmly at her son while Ash mirrored her expression as well. He then reluctantly turned around to head off with his friends.

Delia and Professor Oak watched them go. As they were a good distance away Professor Oak turned to Delia, "I think you should be very proud of your little pumpkin." The Professor said gently. Delia smiled lovingly, "I am Professor. I proud of my little man." She said looking at the trophy in her arms. It reading 1st Place In Our Hearts. Ash Ketchum. She smiled warmly at that. Then looked back at the outline of her son and his friends.


The gang was currently looking at the ships passing by. They were bummed that they missed their boat. Porta Vista was the only town that had ferries and they just managed to miss theirs. Ash sighed at this sadly. Volcan cheered him soon afterwords cooing. Ash smiled and laid down on his stomach with the Magby sitting on back giggling while grabbing Ash's legs. Ash grinned at this while looking into the ocean at the water. He then stopped something in the water staring at him curiously. Ash blinked at it and it blinked back.

"Oh! It's a Horsea!" Misty shrieked saying how cute it was. Ash thought it was very cute and heard they were really strong. He also read in those books Jack gave him that they had another evolution to them, Kingdra. He then thought to himself he wanted that Horsea. He pulled out his pokedex.

Pokedex Horsea: A Dragon Pokémon. In this unique Pokémon species, thousands of eggs hatch every spring, and then the male raises them himself.

Ash heard Brock saying it was injured and Ash froze, "What?" He looked closer at it and saw the Horsea had a black eye. Ash widened his eyes. He heard Misty wanting to catch it. Ash frowned he wanted the pokemon. He was about to grab Mystic when he saw the Horsea spraying ink in the water. It seemed to shape pokemon. He noticed they looked to be jellyfish. He frowned at this, "It's trying to say something." Ash said in concern. Misty also gave a frown, "We have to try and catch it to take care of it's wounds first. I'll try to catch it with my pokeball!" She was holding her pokeball about to throw it. Ash stared hard at her in silent.

Just as Misty was about to throw her pokeball an explosion happened. It made everyone jump and look to the sight. Ash grabbed Volcan and held him tightly. Brock shouted, "Oh no the boat!" They saw a ship that exploded randomly. Men were shouting and jumping overboard on the fiery ship. Ash was fearful for them. "We got to act fast!" Misty shouted worried for the men in the water. Ash nodded and grabbed Mystic's pokeball. "Mystic! I choose you!" Ash shouted. The pokemon all came out at once. "Go save those men!" Ash shouted pointing to the burning ship. His Gyarados nodded and swam towards it. Ash and the gang ran to get a boat to save the people in the water. Some of the men were screaming at the sight of the Gyarados, but soon stopped when they realized it was helping them. They latched on to it firmly to stay afloat. The Gyarados lead them to Ash's boat and helped them get on. While this was happening the Horsea was watching this whole event with curious eyes.

Ash was currently helping the 3 men. "Are you alright? You look like your paralyzed." Ash said in concern. The man was shuddering while completely still, "It was horrible... I gotta tell the boss... What happened..." The man said to himself. Ash and Misty looked at each other wondering what happened. They were driving there boat away not seeing the shapes underwater watching them in great intent.

When they got to the men's boss they freaked. It was a copy of the old lady Brutella. "I'm the boss. Nastina!" She said with a smirk as she was surrounded by young men in speedo swimsuits. Ash shivered at this picture. He could understand a young lady with boys not a old lady. "I understand that you helped to save my men. Thank you very much!" She said then laughed weirdly. The men surrounded her happily. Ash and the gang looked horrified at this. "You shouldn't see this." Ash whispered covering his hand over his Magby's eyes. "Your very welcome." Ash laughed nervously. "I wonder if you can give us a ride to the main land?" Ash questioned thinking that would be a nice thing to do. Nastina froze and glared at him, "You think your gonna go away that fast do ya?!" She shouted. Ash and the gang flinched. Ash tightened his hold on Volcan worried that old hag might have something bad planned. "Not until you see my new resort!" Nastina said happily. Ash and the gang blinked at her in shock. "What? Resort?!" The questioned in surprise.

Nastina smirked and turned to a model table beside her, "It's not finished, but it'll be spectacular! The world's best luxury resort!" Nastina said smugly. Misty blinked and looked at the construction in the middle of the ocean. "Is that it on out in the ocean?" Misty asked. Nastina smirked, "Yes! That's it! That's Nastina's Paradise! A super luxury hotel! The hotel to end all the hotels!" She went on and on about it till she got angered. "It'd be great if those Tentacool stopped my construction!" Misty blinked this, "The Tentacool?" Brock realized it, "I get it. Those Tentacool paralyzed your sailors." Nastina nodded, "Because of those Tentacool. All the tourists have been staying away from here. I don't know why such despicable creatures even exist!" Nastina said with a snort. Misty looked outraged, "Did you say despicable?!" Nastina glared at her and acted like the jellyfish pokemon, "There despicable and disgusting! You can't even eat them and their eating my profits!" Nastina shouted in anger.

Nastina looked at them sternly, "I was hoping the 3 of you might help me take care of my little problem. Do you have the skill to handle a Tentacool extermination project?" She questioned. The others looked shocked at this response. Nastina then tried to bargain with them to try and get rid of the pokemon for her. Ash frowned at this in disgust. He loved all pokemon and didn't want to get in the way of it's habitat it seemed it wanted to protect. He ignored the gambling she was doing for them. She tried food, money and free hotel tickets. He snorted and turned his side. Volcan copied his Daddy. Misty smiled at Ash seeing he didn't buy into her deal. Brock was amazed as well. He figured a young trainer would be jumping at a chance like that. Then remembered Ash wasn't like normal trainers. Ash then turned and went to the door. "Hey! Where are you going?!" Nastina shouted in alarm seeing the scar-ed boy she heard from her men to be the most help walk away. "Away from you. You heartless hag." Ash said firmly and opened to the door to leave. The others soon followed him. Nastina frowned, "There goes a boy that can't be bought."

Ash was walking along side of Misty. They were both pissed off about that women's heartless comments and statement. "How could she want the Tentacool!?" Ash shouted in anger. Misty nodded, "Yeah. Especially when their soooo cute!" She said sadly. Ash blinked and smiled, "You sure love your water pokemon." He grabbed his pokedex to look it up.

Pokedex Tentacool: A Jellyfish Pokémon. 99% of its body is made up of water.

Ash smiled at this, "It is rather cute." Thinking it's red gems looked interesting. Brock frowned, "If you guys say so." Misty looked at Ash, "If Tentacool are attacking humans. Then there must be a really good reason for it!" She said firmly. Brock quirked an eyebrow, "Do you really think so?" Misty growled, "Of course! Tentacool are squishy and nice when you hold them! And you call the red spots on their heads, the ruby of the sea!" Misty said in happiness. Ash smiled thinking the red spots made it cute. Brock sweat-dropped, "Who calls it that?" Misty frowned, "I call it that. It's my name for it!" The others were silent until Volcan cooed liking the name for the Tentacool. Misty smiled, "You like the name huh?" She said patting the baby on the head. Ash laughed at this then heard a sound. He blinked and walked over to the side to look at the water. He saw the Horsea from earlier looking at him and giving a eye smile. "Well hello there!" It tilted his head at him and jumped up and down at him. Ash laughed, "You want to come?" Horsea cooed and jumped into Ash's other arm beside Volcan. Ash grunted at the force then gave a smile. He placed Volcan on his shoulders and held the Horsea. "Hey Misty. Do you have a small pool or something?" Ash questioned knowing the stuff she had as a water pokemon trainer. She blinked and smiled, "Sure."

Ash fixed the kiddie pool for Horsea with Volcan watching his Daddy curiously. The Horsea cooed at this in happiness. Ash poured water in and a super potion. When it settled he picked up the Horsea and placed the little guy in there. "There you go little fella!" Ash said with a smile. The Horsea cooed at Ash and went to swim around in it. Ash gave a grin and went to play patty cake with his Magby. The others sat away watching the event. "He really loves pokemon." Misty said watching the interaction how Ash was playing with his Magby. She saw him glance over behind him and play with the Horsea too. She was a little sad to know that Horsea liked Ash more, but understood Ash has a way with pokemon. "The super potion seems to be working." Brock said watching the Horsea's wounds slowly disappear.

Ash played with the pokemon for a while till he saw all the wounds on Horsea vanish. "Your ok!" Ash shouted in glee. The Horsea cooed and jumped into his arms. He felt his jeans get a little wet, but ignored it seeing the look of happiness on the dragon pokemon's face. He hugged the Horsea with a smile then frowned feeling it shift. The Horsea looked at him and cooed sadly. "What's wrong? What are you trying to say?" Ash questioned concerned for the Horsea he was starting to become very attached to. Then he remembered the ink drawing it made earlier. "Is this about the drawing. I noticed it looked like a Tentacool. Is the Tentacool the problem?" Brock froze, "It's telling us about the Tentacool and why the ship was destroyed." Ash froze and looked at the saddened Horsea, "Is that right Horsea?" Ash asked in concern. The Horsea nodded sadly. Then the little dragon pokemon froze hearing a ding.

Everyone blinked at the dinging in confusion. "Citizens of Porta Vista! Listen up!" Said a voice on the mircophone going through the speakers in the city. Ash glared, "Nastina!" Nastina's voice started again, "Effective immediately, I'm recruiting volunteers to exterminate the Tentacool terrorizing our town!" Nastina said smugly on the mircophone. Ash shouted in anger tightening his hold on Horsea while Volcan held on to Ash's pants leg, "Exterminate!?" Ash shouted in alarm. "I'll award 1 million dollars to anyone who can terminate the Tentacool. Isn't Nastina generous!?" Nastina said firmly and ending with a laugh. Ash growled at this along with Misty. "She'll do anything to get destroy them." Brock said in shock and disgust. "Anyone who wants money. I mean help with the development of our town. Come to the yacht parlor immediately!"

Misty frowned at this, "Heh. She expects people to destroy the Tentacool for money. How ridiculous!" She said with a snort. Ash heard a rumble and saw a whole stampede of people. "Oh! It's not ridiculous to them!" Ash shouted in alarm running away with the Horsea in his arms and Volcan holding onto his pants legs tightly. They just avoided getting squished. Ash breathed a sigh of relief seeing the Horsea and his baby unharmed. He glared at the bickering people who were yelling to Nastina. The said hag was in a armed tank. She was greeting them smugly and giving them orders about getting rid of the Tentacool. She asked who would be the first to start the extermination. A sticky arrow with a rose tied to it hit the tank cannon. Nastina turned to look who did so. Everyone looked to see a ship coming in towards them. On the ship was Team Rocket.

Jessie: Prepare for trouble!

James: Make it double!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all people within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Ash and the gang looked down in slump. "They'll never go away will they?" Ash said in sadness. Misty and Brock shook their heads, "I think we'll be stuck with them for life." Ash had a involuntary shiver at that. Volcan sighed at this and Horsea blinked at Team Rocket in curiosity. Team Rocket got on land and saw Nastina. They were shocked at how much she looked like Brutella and insulted her at the looks of things. Nastina didn't take kindly to that and hit them with her cannon. Ash thought that was dangerous. Team Rocket didn't want much trouble from her either and offered to get rid of the Tentacool for her. They wanted the money. Nastina agreed to this and Team Rocket went back to the sea. Everyone watched while Ash and the gang were saddened by this event.

Team Rocket were out in the sea and were getting barrels out. They filled them with a special liquid that they hoped would destroy the Tentacool and make money for selling them like fish products. They wanted the money Nastina would give them too. Just as they were about to drop the barrel their boat started moving backwards. They looked around in confusion and found to their horror Tentacool surrounding their boat.

Ash and everyone else were in shock at seeing the number of Tentacool out there. "All of those things are Tentacool?!" Ash shouted in alarm. Team Rocket was freaking out and tried to get away. The main Tentacool fired a beam at Team Rocket's boat. It exploded sending Team Rocket flying. While a barrel went flying and smashed into the main Tentacool. It caused a massive glow and everyone watched in amazement. Then they screamed at the sight of when the glowing ended. The Tentacool evolved into a giant Tentacruel. The giant Tentacruel had Team Rocket in it's cltutches. They screamed at this and weren't happy that the barrel super sized the Tentacool. The Tentacruel was now climbing on the construction site of the hotel Nastina owned.

Ash and the gang were in shock at this. They thought Bill's Dragonite was one of the largest pokemon they've ever encountered, but this Tentacruel was just as tall as Dragonite. Ash swallowed at this tightening his hold on the pokemon in his arms. Horsea squeaked and jumped out of his arms and into the water. "No!" He watched it swim away towards the Tentacruel. Ash frowned at this and turned to hold Volcan with one arm. He went and grabbed his pokedex.

Pokedex Tentacruel: A Jellyfish Pokémon. An evolved form of the Tentacool. Its numerous tentacles serve as a powerful weapon. It is known as the "Gangster of the Sea."

Ash swallowed thickly at this, "Ah shit. That must be the gang leader!" Ash shouted in panic. He held Volcan tightly to himself as he watched the Tentacruel smashing the hotel construction site. He didn't want to loose him like that Horsea. Misty looked scared, "Oh no! Tentacruel's in danger!" Misty shireked. Nastina shouted at her men to shot the Tentacool and giant Tentacruel. The fired, but the bullets did no damage to the giant jellyfish pokemon. The Tentacruel glared at them and ordered his Tentacool. Nastina was shouting another command then froze. The Tentacool were climbing all over her tank like it was no problem. She shrieked at this and her men were knocked out at by the incoming Tentacool and Tentacruel. The jellyfish pokemon started paralyzing everyone.

Misty was about to run to the Tentacruel in concern, "We gotta try and protect the Tentacruel!" She shouted in panic. Ash grabbed her arm in major concern to help her to safety seeing the giant jellyfish coming their way. "But there's gonna be a tidal wave!" Ash shouted in fear. He held tightly to Volcan to his heart and sprinted. Misty and Brock following closely behind. The tidal wave hit with people screaming. Tentacool came in to the city with the wave while the giant Tentacruel looked on.

Team Rocket was currently hanging on a pole. They got up there when the tidal wave hit. They were happy to be free from Tentacruel when they noticed Meowth wasn't with them. They were about to look ready to get down from the pole when they looked to see how far they were up. They screamed in alarm at building height they were at. Tentacruel was currently throwing construction equipment at Nastina's hotel and entertainment parks. It threw a buidling piece at the entertainment park and watched it get destroyed. Nastina watching this was pissed to the statement. She was although happy to have paid the warranty on the entertainment park. She was angered and went to fire more guns at the Tentacruel and Tentacool, but another tidal wave hit.

Ash and the gang watched the destruction in an oversea building on top of the island. "So this is what that Horsea was trying to warn us about earlier." Brock shouted in alarm. Misty was pressed up against the window watching in heartache, "I don't understand?! Why would they do a thing like this?! Now everyone will be against them!" Misty said in sadness. They watched as the Tentacool fired beams into the buildings below. They winced and swallowed hoping they weren't next. Ash glared and went to grab his Mystic's pokeball. Then thought about if she could battle something as huge as that Tentacruel. He didn't want to take any chances yet. "Wait! Look over there!" Brock shouted seeing something in the Tentacruel's tentacle arm. Everyone looked to see Meowth still there with a Tentacool on his head.

The Tentacool on his head went to talk using Meowth as a scapegoat, "We are Tentacool and Tentacruel and hear us now! Humans have destroyed our home and now we'll have our revenge!" The Tentacool possessing Meowth said angrily. The Tentacool army destroyed more buildings at this statement. Ash winced at this as he held a whimpering Volcan to his heart trying to sooth him. "Tentacool is using Meowth like a puppet." Brock said in surprise. Ash nodded thinking that was weird, but some pokemon's voices can't be heard. "Now we'll destroy the world! Your home! Just as you foolishly destroyed our own! Not one of you have the right to complain about it." The possessed Meowth stated. Ash glared, "There homes must have been where that hotel's being built." Ash said in alarm. Brock nodded, "That's right! The coral reef!" Ash froze, "That's what Horsea was trying to say! I can't believe, I was to stupid to not get that!" Ash shouted in sadness. He heard Volcan coo at him and shake his head negatively saying that his daddy wasn't stupid. Ash gave a small smile, "Thanks for your input my little man." Then, Ash heard everyone scream and looked up in time to see a gaint tentacle arm smash into the window. He jumped back in time and avoided the incoming arms. He gripped his Magby tightly.

Over with the giant Tentacruel who was trying to destroy everything in sight. Horsea was trying to get it to listen to him. The Tentacruel turned and looked at him in anger. The possessed Meowth spoke, "It's to late Horsea. No matter what'ca think. We'll never turn away. We must teach the humans pain about getting homes destroyed!" Horsea didn't like this statement and shook his head negatively showing he didn't agree knowing some humans were kind. He knew that kid Ash was very kind to him. The possessed Meowth blinked at this, "A spineless attitude like that will only allow humans to be more cruel and inconsiderate in the future." He said firmly. Horsea looked pissed at this statement and shouted at the Tentacruel. The possessed Meowth looked pissed, "So you say we're the spineless ones?! For that you must be punished!" He shouted angrily. The giant Tentacruel lifted his tentacle arm and went to smash the little Horsea. It smashed into the water with the Horsea freaking out. The Horsea went flying screaming for help. Ash widened his eyes, "Talon! I grab it!" He shouted throwing his Fearow's pokeball. He came out with a caw. Talon took off and grabbed Horsea who was free falling. Ash placed Volcan on the floor and went to grab Horsea who Talon just came back with. He turned to Talon, "Good work Talon!" The Fearow nodded and cawed proudly.

Ash tsmiled at thought of what the Horsea did for all of the humans. He heard Misty saying she was touched that such a water pokemon wanted to protect us humans. Ash hugged the beaten little Horsea in his arms glad to know in such a small thing was a great fighting spirit. He then glared, "Alright! Let's give these Tentacool and Tentacruel a battle they'll never forget!" Ash shouted grabbing his pokeballs. "Go! Talon! Evlon! Mystic! Naga!" Ash shouted throwing his, Espeon, Gyarados and Arbok at the scene. His Fearow already took off to give them a beating. His others went to work. The people were amazed at the sight of his pokemon, mostly his Gyarados. Misty shouted, "Starmie! Staryu and Goldeen!" She shouted! Brock went to grab his pokemon, "Squirtle and Zubat!" Brock shouted. All the pokemon went to give the Tentacool a beating. "Don't let the Tentacool get any closer to us! Send them back to the sea!" Ash shouted tightening his grip on Horsea and feeling Volcan hold tightly to his pants leg.

His pokemon and the others shouted in agreement and went to do the job. The Tentacool where smashed, beaten, blown and just about everything away. They left the watered area leaving only the giant Tentacruel and the Tentacool possessing Meowth. The Tentacruel started smashing all of the pokemon around except Mystic she roared and fired a Hyper Beam at it and seemed to be doing well against it. Ash shouted, "That's great girl! Keep it up!" She roared in earnest hearing her trainers encouragement to continue. The possessed Meowth was panicking, "You are all pokemon! Why are you fighting to save the destructive humans?!" He said in wonder. Unaware to Ash, Volcan went off and got Fearow to take him into battle. Hey went into the battle and was helping with whatever he could. Misty went off too. "Hey were's Misty?" Ash said not seeing her, then also realized to his growing horror his Magby was gone too. "Oh my god! Where's Volcan!" Ash shouted in panic. Brock pointed, "There he is! He's on your Fearow's back!" Ash looked to see that his Magby was indeed on Talon's back. Ash's fear still was growing seeing his baby in a fight then had to remember his baby was a pokemon. It was in their blood to want to fight.

He watched the battle get bad and saw some of his pokemon down for the count. Mystic was still roaring and fighting. Then the batttle was interrupted by Talon and Volcan. They got in the way to reason with the Tentacruel. It grumbled at the Magby. Volcan shouted at him that not all humans were bad. Talon cawed in agreement saying his trainer has never been bad and shouted to the Tentacruel his trainers dark past. The Tentacruel flinched hearing that not all pokemon were good and not all people were bad. Volcan nodded saying his daddy never once hurt him or any of his pokemon. He stated his daddy treated his pokemon like family. The Tentacruel and Tentacool were amazed by this.

Then they heard a female voice ring out, "Tentacruel! Don't fight!" The Tentacruel looked over and saw it was young red haired girl. "Misty!" Ash shouted in alarm and fear. "Please take them all back to the ocean!" Misty said in sadness not wanting any Tentacool injured. Volcan cooed and told the Tentacool and Tentacruel that Misty loved water pokemon and said that Tentacool were her favorite. They grumbled in shock at this. "Please listen Tentacruel! This is enough! We humans understood that we hurt you!" She said looking at the Tentacruel with great innocence. The Tentacruel froze and remembered the Magby and Fearow's words. It looked down to see the humans below it looking up at him in fear. "We won't destroy your homes anymore!" Misty continued. The people watching nodded showing they cared. "We're sorry. So please?" Misty said pleadingly looking at the Tentacruel in pain. The Tentacruel was silent for a while contemplating the words and actions everyone told it. He then grumbled. The possessed Meowth talked, "If this happens again. We will not stop. Remember this well." He said sternly. Then the Tentacruel threw Meowth away showing he was done using it. The Tentacool who possessed him went down in the water beside the Tentacruel. The Tentacool and Tentacruel started to leave. The Tentacool who possessed Meowth stopped for a second to look at Misty and looked to the Tentacruel. It grumbled and also gave a last look to Misty and went back to swimming. The Tentacool nodded and swam towards Misty.

Nastina got out of ruble the she was under when the Tentacool invaded. She was glaring at all the destruction they did to her entertainment park and hotel. She screamed and started shooting at the giant Tentacruel. The Tentacruel froze when it bounced off it's jelly skin. It turned and glared at Nastina. "She doesn't get the message does she?!" Ash shouted in alarm and ran towards the fight. Horsea cooing at him to whole way. Brock was right at his heels. Nastina was shouting at the Tentacruel when she was hit with a red beam. She shouted and saw a Tentacool glaring at her, "Why you little!" She screamed at the jellyfish pokemon when a dark shadow covered her. She looked up to see the giant Tentacruel glaring down at her and then smashed her away. Sending Nastina flying away like her cousin before her. Everyone laughed at this and waved her goodbye. "Soooo long! Don't wanna be ya!" Ash shouted and laughed. The Horsea cooed and chirped at this. Misty smiled watching the giant Tentacruel sink into the ocean then she started to get down off the building she was on.

Ash smiled at this and was happy that the violence ended. He heard shouting and looked up to see Talon coming towards him with Volcan on his back. The Magby cooed at the sight of his daddy. Talon landed and cawed. He leaned down so Volcan could get off and ran to hug his daddy's leg. Ash smiled and ruffled his Magby's hairlike head. He saw Misty running towards him and he waved to her. He heard the Horsea cooing at him and snuggling into his shirt. Ash smiled and lifted him up. "Do you want to be a part of my team?" Ash asked in question. The Horsea chirped and Ash grinned. He grabbed a pokeball. "Alright. I can see that you do. Hmmm... I need to give you a name though..." Ash stated. The Horsea blinked then remembered Ash named his pokemon like Volcan told him. "Spirit. You have a lot of spirit. So that'll be your name." Ash said gently. The newly named Spirit was quiet then chriped. Ash taped the pokeball on Spirit's head and watched it dinged instantly. It then soon teleported back to Professor Oak's lab. Ash smiled happy to have another pokemon especially one that was a dragon type he thought with a grin.

Misty was heading towards Ash in the gang when she heard grumbling. She blinked and looked down to see a Tentacool looking at her. She squealed at it, "Oh! Your soooo cute!" She cooed. The Tentacool looked shocked at this and it's eyes got big and sparkly. It grumbled more at her. Misty leaned down to look more closely at it. The Tentacool got up on the ground beside her and gave her a squishy hug. She squealed and hugged it back. "Does this mean you want to come with me?" She said with a smile. The Tentacool grumbled and nodded. Misty gave a huge grin, "Alright then!" She said with a grin. She grabbed her pokeball and looked at the Tentacool. "Now hold still!" The Tentacool held still and Misty captured it. She shrieked in happiness having her favorite water pokemon. She ran towards the gang. "I caught one!" She shouted. The gang looked at her curiously, "Caught what?" Ash questioned. "A Tentacool." Misty said with a grin. Ash blinked then smiled, "That's great Mist. You always wanted one. I'm glad for you." He said with a grin. Misty was beaming. Brock gave a smile, "I think it's time for us to go catch our boat. Don't you guys agree?" The others nodded at this and went to the boating dock.

They were on the boat leaving Porta Vista. Ash was leaning on the ocean deck looking at the island getting smaller and smaller. He saw Volcan cooing in his arms and held him tight, "You scared me out there Vol. I thought, I was gonna have a heart attack." The Magby froze and looked at Ash curiously. "Your starting to get a little big. It'll soon be time for you to enter battles. I know it's hard training time for you" Ash said firmly. He was already training his Magby gently. He now realized it was time to one up it now. Volcan cooed and Ash grinned. He looked to the sky and wondered where the next journey was gonna take them.


End Chapter 14


Ash now has a Horsea. Misty now had a Tentacool. I wonder what he's gonna capture or have evolve next. I wonder what pokemon the gang 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/illustrator. So this story is a fun creation on my time. For viewers who wanted to know why there are some writing mistakes.
