Ash's Pokemon Journey

Summary: This story is about how I think that ash's journey should have gone through, Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. Smart, a psychic and an Aura user (He'll find out about being a psyphic and Aura user later). I do not own pokemon.

Note: I am not doing the Kalos Region. So fairy pokemon don't exist.

Chapter 28

The Lapras Pod and back at Pallet Town

After winning the winner's trophy of the Orange League, Ash decided that it was time to get back to Kanto, since the Orange League was now over and done with. Right now where were riding on Lapras, across the ocean. "I can't wait to show my trophy and badges to mum and Prof Oak" said Ash. "I still say that your battle with Drake was amazing Ash" said Tracey. "It certainly was," smiled Ash "and now it's high time to head back to Kanto". "I can't wait to go to Kanto and meet Prof Oak" said Tracey.

Suddenly, Lapras started to speed up in the ocean, like he was getting excited about something. "Hey, what's wrong Lapras?" asked Ash. Ash's answer soon came; there in the distance was a school of Lapras. "Look at all of those Lapras" said Tracey, sketching then in his pad. "Hey I wonder if this is the pod that Ash's Lapras was separated from" said Misty. "Is it true Lapras?" asked Ash "is this your family?" Lapras nodded, which meant that they had found Lapras's pod at last". Ash started to remember the promise he made when he caught Lapras; his promise was that he would release him once they found his pod. 'So now I can keep my promise' he thought. Lapras began to swim to the Lapras pod and called out to them. The Lapras pod heard Lapras, but ignored him. There was a light blue Lapras in the pod and it wanted to call out to Ash's Lapras, but the other Lapras made it ignore him. Lapras tried to call out to the Lapras pod again, but the leader of the Lapras pod used water gun and mist attack to get away from Lapras and the gang. Lapras began to cry and Ash rubbed his neck to calm him down. "What happened?" asked Misty. "I don't know," said Tracey "something isn't right here".

The gang went to the nearby island, Tarroco Island, to find some answers. They found the Officer Jenny and told her about their encounter with the Lapras pod. "I see," Officer Jenny said "well I think I know why that Lapras pod ran away from you. You see there have been some pokemon poaching pirates around here. Their leader is called Captain Crook and he and his crew go around areas where pokemon are not allowed to be captured, and then they catch pokemon to sell at a tremendous price". "That's disgusting!" said Ash, angrily, "how can they do this to pokemon?" "It's no wonder that Lapras pod are afraid of humans" said Misty. "We should do something about this," said Ash "I mean we can't let those pirates get away with this". "I agree," said Tracey "but what can we do?" "Well for starters," said Ash "we should look for the Lapras pod before they do". "But Ash those Lapras will be scared of us" said Tracey. "Maybe so, be we've got to do something," said Ash "besides we promised Lapras we would reunite him with his pod again". Tomo, Misty and Tracey agreed with Ash; something had to be done about this. Ash told Tomo to stay at the pokemon center with Growlithe, just in case it could be dangerous; Ash didn't want Tomo to be caught in something as dangerous as this. Tomo understood and wished his brother, Misty and Tracey good luck. Misty left Togepi with Tomo to keep her safe as well.

Meanwhile Team Rocket was out in the ocean, in their Magikarp submarine. They had heard about Lapras being around area, and they wanted to catch the whole Lapras pod for themselves. "Any sign of them James?" asked Jessie. James was on the lookout for Lapras by looking through the big periscope. "I don't see them yet," he said "but my laptop says that we are not far from them now". "Imagine how much money we will get for catching the Lapras" said Meowth. "Lapras are known as the rarest water pokemon to catch," said Jessie "so my guess would be millions". "Hey guys I spot the Lapras not far from here" said James. "Good, now let's go Lapras fishing" Jessie smirked.

Right now, Ash, Misty and Tracey were out on the ocean to find the Lapras pod. "Do you think that the pirates Officer Jenny told us about will appear?" asked Tracey. "I think they will," said Misty "with a Lapras pod around here, which poacher wouldn't?" "Not to worry," said Ash "I got Gyarados, Dragonair and Wartortle from Prof Oak's lab. So if those pirates do come, we'll be ready to attack". Just then they heard a bang in the distance. "What was that noise?" gasped Misty. Tracey had a look through his binoculars. "The pirates have found the Lapras pod," he said "and not only are they attacking the Lapras with their cannons, they are attacking them with a school of Tentacruel as well". "Oh no," said Ash "we need to hurry. Full speed Lapras". Lapras swam as fast as he could to get to where the pirate ship was. Tracey jumped into the ocean with his Marill to get Officer Jenny for help. "Be careful Ash and Misty" he said to them, before swimming off.

At that time the Lapras pod were being surrounded by the Tentacruels. "We've hit a jackpot captain" said Captain Crook's mate Scuz. "We sure have Scuz," said Captain Crook "now it's time to catch them". "Oh no you don't!" shouted a voice by the left side of them. It was Ash and Misty; they got there just in time. "You're not catching any pokemon around here" said Misty. "Ah, some nosy brats are planning to ruin our plans," said Captain Crook "but they won't be stopping us, attack!" The pirates began firing cannons at them. Misty released her Staryu, Goldeen, Slowking and Poliwag twins from their pokeballs and ordered all of them to use water gun to attack the ship. Ash released Gyarados, Dragonair and Wartortle from their pokeballs to attack the Tentacruel. Gyarados used dragon rage, Dragonair used dragon pulse and Wartortle used skull bash. The wild Lapras saw Ash and Misty trying to protect them from the pirates, and were surprised to know that not all humans were bad.

Meanwhile Team Rocket was watching what was going on in their Magikarp submarine. "Shall we attack now Jessie?" asked James. "No not yet," said Jessie "we'll wait till the fight is finished with, then we'll take over and catch the Lapras". Unfortunately for Team Rocket, the plan was not to be. While they were watching, three of Captain Crook's Tentacruel saw the Magikarp submarine and used tackle on it. Poor Team Rocket was blasted off in the submarine.

Right now Misty had Captain Crook and his crew tied up in ropes. To make Captain Crook not give any more orders to the Tentacruels, Misty gagged him with a handkerchief. The wild Lapras helped out too; they froze the Tentacruels with their ice beam attacks. "They trust us now" said Ash, happily. The Lapras swam up to Ash and his Lapras and thanked them for saving them. The light blue Lapras swam up to Ash's Lapras and they nuzzled each other. Ash realised that the light blue Lapras was his Lapras's mother and was happy that they found each other at last.

Soon Officer Jenny and her men had arrived at the scene on a boat and arrested Captain Crook and his crew. Tracey and Tomo were on the boat and were happy to know that Ash and Misty were okay. Officer Jenny spoke to the gang; "I can't thank you enough for helping me catch Captain Crook," she said "I have been after him and his crew for a long time". "It was our pleasure," said Ash "at least now they won't be poaching anymore water pokemon". Misty released Captain Crook's Tentacruel into the ocean. "You lot are free from being Captain Crook's pokemon," she said "so now you can go and do whatever you want. And you make sure not to let anymore bad people catch you". The Tentacruels happily swam away in the ocean to live their new lives.

Ash and Lapras were looking at the Lapras Pod. "Well Lapras," said Ash "my promise of helping you find your pod has been fulfilled, so now's the time for you to return to your family". Lapras knew that Ash was releasing him, but he liked Ash so much to leave. Ash petted Lapras's head one last time. "You have been a great pokemon and friend to me Lapras," he said "and I do hope that you and your mother will be happy together forever". Ash began remembering about his times with Lapras; when he caught Lapras, travelling across many oceans with Lapras, using Lapras in some gym battles and their bonding with each other. Lapras helped Ash onto Officer Jenny's boat and then swam towards his mother. "Well I guess this is goodbye Lapras" said Ash. He was just about to yell out farewell to Lapras, when he saw both Lapras and his mother coming towards them. "Huh, what's wrong?" he asked them. The Lapras began talking to Ash in their pokelanguage, and Ash used his psychic powers to understand them. "No way" he said in surprise. "What's wrong Ash?" asked Misty. "Yeah, and what did those two Lapras say?" asked Tracey. "Well try not to get excited," said Ash "but my Lapras said that he still wants to stay with me. And his mother said that she wants me to catch her too". Tomo, Misty and Tracey were surprised by that. "Lapras also said that he didn't want to separate from me or his mum, and then his mother said she understood, and since she doesn't want to be separated from her child she is giving up on living with the Lapras pod and wants to be with me too". "Then that means you will have two Lapras Ash" said Tracey. Ash asked Officer Jenny if it was okay, since they were in a non-capturing area. "It's all right Ash," Officer Jenny "I will accept this capture, since the mother Lapras trusts you so much and I know that you will take good care of both of them". So Ash returned his Lapras and caught the light blue Lapras, then sent them both to Prof Oak's lab. "This is going to be some tale to talk to Prof Oak about" chuckled Ash.

So all was well in the end; the evil Captain Crook and his crew were in jail, the Lapras pod were free from being attacked by poachers and Ash gained another Lapras. And now it was time to leave the Orange Islands and head back to Kanto. Ash's adventure in the Orange Islands was now over.


After the incident with a Lapras pod and some pirates, Ash and the gang were now on the way to Pallet Town. "I can't wait to be home again and see mum again" said Ash. "I can't wait to see mum again either" said Tomo. "I can't wait to meet Prof Oak at last" said Tracey. "We mustn't forget though, we need to give Prof Oak the GS ball" said Misty. Ash took the GS ball out from his rucksack to see if it was okay; not a scratch or dent was seen on it. "You know," he said "something about this ball seems weird to me. I mean no one could get it open, as if this ball has to have something happen to it to actually open". "Do you mean like in those stories?" asked Misty "the ones that show that a special magic item have to be in a special place to work or such?" "I do not know," replied Ash "this GS ball is a real mystery".

That afternoon, the boat finally brought Ash and the gang to the docks of Kanto. "Finally we're here" said Ash. After walking some forests, the gang made it into Pallet Town. "Home again" said Ash. "Wow, Pallet Town looks lovely" said Tracey. Ash and Tomo were eager to get home and see their mum again, so the first stop was Ash's house. When they got into Ash's house not only was Delia there to greet them, but Brock as well. "Brock?" gasped Ash "what are you doing here?" "Yeah, and why aren't you still with Prof Ivy?" asked Misty. Brock hung his head in shame when he heard that name. "Don't say that name," he said weakly "I don't want to talk about it". "Oh dear," whispered Misty "Prof Ivy must have dumped him". "I think you're right Misty" whispered Ash. To not want to hurt Brock any more, Ash and Misty agreed not to ask any more questions. Delia welcomed Ash and Tomo home and gave them a hug. Ash placed his Orange League trophy and four badges onto a shelf, where his eight badges and special badge, from the Indigo League, were.

After greeting Delia and Brock, the gang headed for Prof Oak's lab. Tracey was getting excited to meet Prof Oak at last. "I'm going to show him all my sketches" he said. Ash wondered how many sketches Tracey had; after all Tracey did say that he has sketched quite a lot of pokemon in the past. When they got to the lab and entered it, they saw Prof Oak being smothered by Ash's Muk. "Hey Prof Oak, are you okay?" asked Ash, getting Muk off him. "Yes I'm all right Ash," said Prof Oak "Muk just loves to smother humans in a hug". Tracey introduced himself to Prof Oak and asked him if he would be interested of looking through his sketches. "Of course Tracey," said Prof Oak "I'll check them out later, but first, Ash do you have the GS ball?" Ash took the GS ball out from his ruck sack and handed it to the professor. "I can't wait to research this ball, but let's have a tour round my pokemon corral" said Prof Oak.

Hundreds of pokemon were roaming around the Oak corral. "Wow all of these pokemon all in one place" said Tracey, who couldn't wait to sketch them. Ash released his Dragonair, Gyarados, Espeon, Wartortle and Kabutops from their pokeballs to let them roam free too. Tomo did the same with his Pikachu, Farfetch'd, Poliwag and Cubone. "Well Ash I must say all your pokemon are fine and doing well" said Prof Oak. "Are my Lapras okay as well?" asked Ash. "Yes they are," answered Prof Oak "and I haven't forgotten about what you told me when you captured Lapras's mother". Ash told Prof Oak about the pokemon pirates, just after he caught Lapras's mother. "So Ash you don't need to worry about a thing". Ash met up with all of his pokemon and greeted them all. His pokemon; Pidgeot, Fearow, Gyarados, Butterfree, Beedrill, Sandslash, Clefable, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Ivysaur, Charizard, Wartortle, Rapidash, Gengar, Ninetails, Kingler, two Eevees, Vaporeon, Flareon, Jolteon, Umbreon, Espeon, Dragonair, Marowak, Primeape, Golduck, Magneton, Muk, Kangaskhan, Venomoth, Tauros, Arbok, Rhydon, Parasect, Dodrio, Pinsir, Scyther, Wigglytuff, Kabutops, Omastar, Aerodactyl, two Lapras and Snorlax were all delighted to be with Ash all at once. Ash's baby Lugia was happy to see Ash too and nuzzled him at once. "I hope Lugia here has been good Professor" said Ash. "No need to worry Ash," said Prof Oak "Lugia is curious and playful but he does exactly what I tell him". Tracey was amazed with the amount of pokemon Ash had captured on his journeys so far.

After looking at all the pokemon in the Oak corral, Ash and the gang had some tea with Prof Oak. Prof Oak was looking at Tracey's sketches and thought they were truly remarkable. Suddenly they heard a sort of banging noise. "What was that?" gasped Ash. Brock had at a look out the window to see. "Hey something is surrounding this place" he said. It was Team Rocket's doing again. They were planning to go after the pokemon at the oak corral, and now they covered a sort of big tent over the lab so that no one could escape. Prof Oak and the gang ran out of the building to deal with the situation. Team Rocket appeared in front of them right away. "You three," said Ash "what are you doing here?" "Oh we're only here to grab all the pokemon from this lab" said Jessie. Team Rocket had some sort of vacuum machine and used it to suck up the pokeballs in the lab. Prof Oak was outraged by this. "Not on my watch you don't!" he said. Prof Oak was just about to grab a pokeball from his lab coat pocket to fight Team Rocket, when they flung some sort of metal ring over Prof Oak and trapped him. The gang was not happy with this. Ash sent out his Dragonair, Wartortle and Ivysaur to battle Team Rocket. Jessie and James sent out Lickitung, Victreebel and Cloyster to battle. (Jessie evolved her Shellder with a water stone some time ago). Jessie had her Cloyster attack Dragonair with ice beam and Lickitung attack Wartortle with its lick attack, and James ordered his Victreebel attack Ivysaur with razor leaf attack. Ash had his Dragonair to use flamethrower at the ice beam, had Wartortle use protect against Lickitung's tongue and had Ivysaur stop the razor leaf with vine whip. "Now Dragonair use thunderbolt on Cloyster, Ivysaur use sludge bomb on Victreebel and Wartortle use water gun on Lickitung" said Ash. Cloyster, Victreebel and Lickitung got hurt by the thunderbolt, water gun and sludge bomb. "Grrr, don't think this is over yet twerp!" growled Jessie. "You won't be taking any pokemon from this lab anywhere" said Ash. Dragonair, Ivysaur and Wartortle growled in agreement.

Suddenly Dragonair, Wartortle and Ivysaur started to glow. Prof Oak, Ash, Misty, Tomo, Brock, Tracey and Team Rocket watched in amazement as Dragonair, Ivysaur and Wartortle started to grow and take different shapes. Dragonair turned into a Dragonite, Ivysaur turned into a Venasaur and Wartortle turned into a very big turtle, with cannons coming out of his back. "Amazing," gasped Prof Oak "not only did Dragonair and Ivysaur turn into Dragonite and Venasaur, but Wartortle evolved into Blastoise".

Ash looked at Blastoise on the pokedex: Blastoise, the shellfish pokemon. The final evolved form of Squirtle. Its strength lies in its power, rather than its speed. Its shell is like armour and attacks from the hydro cannons on its back are virtually unstoppable.

"Okay then," said Ash "Dragonite use razor wind to cut this big tent to pieces". Dragonite's wings glowed white, and then Dragonite flapped her wings sending white crescent-shaped blades at Team Rocket's tent. The razor wind attack ripped the tent apart well. Team Rocket gasped at that. "Now it's time to finish this," said Ash "hydro pump Blastoise". Blastoise fired big blasts of water from his two cannons, which sent Team Rocket, their pokemon and their balloon blasting off.

Ash was happy that they won the battle, and he was also happy that his Dragonair, Ivysaur and Wartortle all evolved. "I have to say Ash," said Prof Oak "you and your pokemon become more amazing every time I see you battle. And the way you have raised and trained your pokemon is remarkable". "Thanks professor," said Ash "I just hope I will do well when I go to the Johto region". "You plan to journey through the Johto region Ash?" asked Prof Oak. "Yes I do and I plan to enter the Johto League" answered Ash. "That's my plan too" said a voice.

The voice came from Gary Oak. "Hey Gary," said Ash "how have you been?" "Well, here and there, and other things" said Gary. "So Gary I take it you wish to take on the Johto region too?" asked Prof Oak. "That I do Gramps," said Gary "and I plan to win the Johto League". "You do realize that you would have to beat me first Gary" said Ash. Then Gary had an idea; "Let's have a one on one pokemon battle Ash," he said "I want to see your battling skills". "You're on Gary" smiled Ash.

Ash sent out Pikachu and Gary sent out his newest pokemon; an Eevee. Ash smiled looking at Eevee; especially since he still has two Eevees of his own. "Hey Gary," he said "what are you going to evolve your Eevee into?" "I don't know Ash," replied Gary "I haven't made up my mind yet". Gary then commanded Eevee to use quick attack at Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use quick attack too. Pikachu and Eevee were tackling at each other. "Gary has raised his Eevee well just as much as Ash has trained Pikachu well" said Tracey. "Yes it's true," said Prof Oak "both Gary and Ash have grown up well with pokemon, while on their journeys". Ash commanded Pikachu to use thunderbolt, but Gary had Eevee protect itself with double team, so that Pikachu would miss it. "Use quick attack to hit all the multiples Pikachu" said Ash. Pikachu charged at the copies of Eevee and managed to hit the real Eevee. "All right Eevee, use skull bash" said Gary. Eevee charged, with its head down, towards Pikachu. Ash told Pikachu to use quick attack to fight back. Pikachu and Eevee collided with each other, and by that time they were getting exhausted. Brock stepped in to declare the fight a draw; Pikachu and Eevee were getting to weak to battle anymore.

Ash picked up Pikachu and gave him a hug. "You were great buddy" he said. Gary put Eevee on his right shoulder and stroked its chin. The he turned to Ash; "You've done well for yourself Ashy boy" he said. "I could say the same thing about you Gary" smiled Ash. Gary picked up his ruck sack and got ready to head out for another journey to the Johto region. "I'll see you there Gary" Ash called out. Gary waved his right hand in response and was soon gone. Since Gary was going to Johto too, Ash looked forward to face Gary in the pokemon league there.


I didn't like having Lapras leave in the anime, and since Lapras's mother wouldn't want to be separated from her baby again, I decided to have Ash catch her so his that they would always be together, and I always thought that Cloyster would suit Jessie. I made a bit of an error in the Trovitopolis City chapter, so I've updated it.
