Okay we are up to Chapter 38 in Pokemon: Try it again Ash! Kanto. Last chapter Pokemon Hunter J captured a Pink colored Butterfree who is the mate of Ash's Butterfree but was rescued by Ash, Bianca and the new Gligarman (Anthony Jenny) and both Butterfree were captured by Ash and Bianca. Read, Review and enjoy.
Narrator's Recap:
After liberating the Pink Butterfree from Pokemon Hunter J, Ash and his friends continue their journey threw the Kanto region but unknown to them a new threat for them is rising who came from an old threat which they thought had been buried years ago…
The assassin known as Guile Hideout stands on a rooftop in Commerce City with one of his Pokemon (Yes he does have some Pokemon) a Surskit by his side and he looks threw his binoculars to see Ash along with his friends Bianca, Dawn, May and Max on the lawn/rooftop of their friend Luna's house which is a good distance from where Guile and his Surskit are talking with Luna and her butler about something.
"Hmm…what is it that they are discussing?" Guile asks himself "Surskit?" Surskit asks and Guile then presses a button on his helmet, which turns on some sort of high-range listening device as he listens in on whatever the group is talking about with Luna and her butler.
"So who came on the ship and helped you save Butterfree?" May asks, "It was a masked man dressed up like a Gligar he called himself…Gligarman" Bianca says.
"Gligarman?" Dawn asks never hearing that name before "That's what he called himself, he just came out of nowhere and took out all of J's henchmen" Ash says recounting some of the things that happened while aboard Hunter J's airship.
"Hmmm…this sounds very interesting" Guile says to himself becoming intrigued by this.
"Where's he now?" Max asks, "I don't know, after he fought J's Pokemon he jumped out a window and glided down into the city and vanished" Ash says recounting what else had happened while they were aboard Hunter J's airship.
"How does a guy dressed up like a Gligar just vanish?" Luna asks thinking a man dressed up like that can't simply vanish into thin air (You are very mistaken Luna) "Actually guys, I've met someone called Gligarman before" Ash says "You've met him before?" May asks.
"No, not this one" Ash says "This one? What do you mean?" Dawn asks "Pip-Piplup?" Piplup ask confused by this as well.
Flashback-Johto region-Five years ago
"A few years ago when I was travelling around the Johto region I met the original one but there were a lot of differences between him and the one that we met in J's ship"
A flashback shows the original Gligarman who is much heavier then the one Ash and Bianca and a suit much different then the new one's striking a pose with his Gligar and Misty's Togepi (That's just…goofy).
"He was…kind of fat and…kind off goofy actually, I couldn't really take him seriously"
End Flashback
"So…it's not the same guy" Dawn says "Piplup…" Piplup says.
"Indeed he is not girl," Guile says still eavesdropping on their conversation from the far away building he is on and suddenly something in his satchel starts beeping and zips it open and pulls out his computer and opens it up and Giovanni's secretary Matori on a live video chat feed.
"Why is Giovanni having you call me?" Guile asks, "Giovanni is becoming impatient Hideout, he feels that you are taking too long to try and kill Ketchum" Matori says and Guile laughs at this "If Giovanni feels this way, then perhaps he should tell me this himself instead of having his secretary tell me?" Guile asks.
"Giovanni is very busy at this moment so he had me give you the message" Matori says "Tell Giovanni, that I am taking my time to study Ketchum's behavior so that I can find the right moment to terminate him" Guile explains.
"Very well I shall deliver the message to him" Matori says and ends the communication with the armor clad assassin and Guile begins laughing manically to himself "That fool Giovanni, he believes that I am working for him but really he is working for me in my favor" Guile says to himself revealing he has plans of his own (Giovanni doesn't even suspect a thing, really he doesn't).
Soon after their conversation with Luna and her butler about Gligarman Ash and Bianca return to the Pokemon Center so that they can pack up their things to leave the city and continue on with their journey around the Kanto region.
"So…we sleep in the woods when we're travelling?" Bianca asks Ash since she never left Alto Mare in her life and has pretty much no knowledge when it comes to traveling around "Yeah, but its actually kind of nice to feel the air at night" Ash says being use to sleeping in the wilderness after about six years of traveling around to different regions.
"YOU!" a familiar voice calls out (Guess who?) and Ash and Bianca turn around to see Burgundy standing at the door "Oh, Burgundy" Ash says "Pika-pi…" Pikachu says not very happy with Burgundy sudden appearance (And who would be?).
"What, you thought all because your friend back there pushed me outside I'd leave?" Burgundy asks, "What do you want Burgundy?" Ash asks not really in the mood to deal with Burgundy right now "You know what I want…I WANT REVENGE AGAINST YOU!" Burgundy says in a rather loud tone of voice.
"Would you just let it go Burgundy?" Ash asks as he is starting to get tired of Burgundy "Pika!" Pikachu says "Jamais! I'm not just going to allow someone who has zero knowledge in the field of evaluation criticize my skills as a Pokemon Connaisseuse!" Burgundy says (Just so you guys know "Jamais" is French for Never).
"You know Burgundy, if you want to prove that you're such a great Connaisseuse then do this…" Bianca says and pulls out a Poke ball "Evaluate my Butterfree" Bianca says and unleashes the Butterfly Pokemon from her Poke ball "Free, free!" Butterfree says upon being unleashed "See how compatible we are" Bianca says.
"Very well then! Alors, it is evaluating time s'il vous plait!" Burgundy says using some French words in her sentence and then pulls out her Pokedex and begins scanning Bianca's Butterfree and Bianca with it in order to do her evaluation "Well?" Bianca asks.
"The compatibility between you and your Butterfree is…ABSOLUTLEY HORRIBLE!" Burgundy says "Why?" Bianca asks, "Butterfree's special ability is Compoundeyes but you would be much more compatible with a Butterfree that knows Tinted Lens" Burgundy explains giving Bianca her evaluation on the compatibility between her and her Butterfree.
"Really, and why's that?" Bianca asks "Ugh…just because…are you doubting my Connaisseuse skills as well?" Burgundy asks, "Kind of…you see I just captured Butterfree" Bianca says, "Well I can already tell that your compatibility with it is terrible at best…not to mention Butterfree's overly strong aroma" Burgundy says and Butterfree frowns at this and shoots a thick white stream of sticky string from her mouth and wraps Burgundy's head in it.
Burgundy then frowns under the wrap of the string shot and rips it off "THE NERVE OF THAT PESKY LITTLE PINK BUG-TYPE POKEMON!" Burgundy yells angry by what Bianca's Butterfree just did to her.
"You know Burgundy you shouldn't even be doing evaluations," Ash says "Ash, what do you mean?" Bianca asks "Ugh…nothing! He doesn't mean anything!" Burgundy says in a rather nervous way "A friend of mine said that only an A class Connaisseuse or above can do evaluation and since you're a B-class you can only be an assistant to one" Ash explains remembering when Cilan first explained the rules of the Pokemon Connoisseur association to him on the day he met Burgundy.
"Hmmm…well the rules…don't matter here in Kanto" Burgundy says trying to think of an excuse "What is that supposed to mean?" Ash asks, "Well there are no Pokemon Connoisseurs or Connaisseuses here in the Kanto region since they are only in Unova, so here the rules don't apply" Burgundy explains.
"Okay…but I think your evaluation on me and Butterfree is wrong," Bianca says and Burgundy sneers at Bianca "I'll have you now that any other Pokemon Connaisseuse would say the same thing that I did!" Burgundy says not admitting that she might have been wrong in her evaluation.
"And as for you! I still want revenge against you for insulting me so I hereby challenge you to a rematch battle!" Burgundy says pointing her finger right at Ash "Okay, fine! Lets do it!" Ash says kind of the mood for a battle anyway "Pika-Pikachu!" Pikachu says just as much as in the mood for a battle as his trainer.
Unknown to Ash, Pikachu, Bianca and Burgundy Guile Hideout is currently listening in on their conversation from a building away "And I shall be watching your battle with this twit, Ketchum" Guile says to himself intending to observe their battle.
Meanwhile somewhere else in Commerce City May, Dawn and Max (Who was dragged there by the two) are shopping for clothes in a nice looking store "May come over here! Look at this!" Dawn says to her girlfriend who comes over to where Dawn is and shows the coordinator from Hoenn a black scarf with pink stripes on it.
"That looks nice" May says and begins feeling the scarf "It feels so nice, too" May says loving the way the scarf feels "Hey, May have you heard anything about any contests near here that are happening?" Dawn asks wanting to find a Pokemon Contest to earn her second ribbon here in the Kanto region.
"Well I do" Anthony says from behind them and they scream surprised by Anthony's sudden appearance and looks to see its Anthony "Oh Anthony, sorry we didn't expect you there" Dawn says.
"I apologize for sneaking up on both of you then, but to the point I heard while traveling here that there is a Pokemon Contest being held in Gardenia town in about three weeks its not too far from here actually" Anthony explains telling them about a Pokemon contest taking place soon.
"Whoa, thanks" Dawn says thanking Anthony for the information about the next Pokemon Contest she can enter "Don't mention it" Anthony says and just walks off "How does Anthony manage to sneak up on everyone?" Max asks, "I don't know, but he's good at it" Dawn says.
Meanwhile outside of the Pokemon Center Burgundy and Ash are now on different sides of the battlefield ready to begin their battle with each other "I'll promise you one thing, this time you're gonna lose!" Burgundy says determined to defeat Ash in this battle.
"So how about two on two?" Ash asks, "I'm fine with that!" Burgundy says.
"Ash swapped some Pokemon out with that Professor Oak guy…I wonder what his other Pokemon are like?" Bianca asks herself sitting on a bench watching the battle, which is about to commence.
"Alright, Darmanitan let's go!" Burgundy says and throws a Poke ball in the air and the Blazing Pokemon is unleashed from its Poke ball "Darmanitan!" it says upon being unleashed from its Poke ball and Bianca pulls out her Pokedex to check the data on Darmanitan.
"Darmanitan the Blazing Pokémon. Its internal fire burns at 2,500º F, making enough power that it can destroy a dump truck with one punch and when one is injured in a fierce battle, it hardens into a stone-like form. Then it meditates and sharpens its mind"
"Alright, Aerodactyl I choose you!" Ash says and throws a Pokemon in the air and the Fossil Pokemon is unleashed from its Poke ball and lets out a loud and mighty roar and Bianca pulls out her Pokedex to check the data on this Pokemon.
"Aerodactyl the Fossil Pokémon. Its teeth are like saw blades. It has been known to go for the enemy's throat with its serrated, saw like fangs"
"Sounds…vicious" Bianca says after hearing the Pokedex entry on Aerodactyl.
"Darmanitan use Gyro ball!" Burgundy says and Darmanitan spins at a high speed and jumps and begins to spin towards Aerodactyl "Aerodactyl use Aqua tail!" Ash says and a stream of water appears and spirals around Aerodactyl's tail and hits Darmanitan with it sending the Blazing Pokemon crashing right to the ground.
The dust then clears around Darmanitan showing it to have fainted with swirls in its eyes.
Burgundy then looks at Ash and sneers and then groans "THIS BATTLE ISN'T OVER YET! REMEMBER THAT!" Burgundy says in anger and recalls Darmanitan back to its Poke ball and pulls out another "Time to pull out my premium brand…Sawsbuck let's go!" Burgundy says and throws a Poke ball in the air and the Season Pokemon is unleashed from its Poke ball "Saw-Sawsbuck!" it exclaims and Bianca pulls out her Pokedex.
"Sawsbuck the Season Pokémon. The plants growing on its horns change according to the season. The leaders of the herd possess magnificent horns"
"Aerodactyl use Flamethrower!" Ash says and Aerodactyl releases a red-orange stream of fire from its mouth at Sawsbuck and hits Sawsbuck with one hit and when the dust around Sawsbuck clears it shows itself to have fainted (Whoa Ash beat her pretty quick).
"Ah! Sawsbuck!" Burgundy says.
Ash then recalls Aerodactyl back to its Poke ball and Burgundy recalling hers Sawsbuck gives Ash an angry looking stare "Don't think this is over, I will have my revenge against you!" Burgundy says not giving up on getting revenge on Ash for what he said to her in Unova and runs off.
"Ash, has she always been like this?" Bianca asks "Yeah…she has" Ash says.
Meanwhile from the building above the Pokemon Center Guile Hideout having watched the battle becomes even more intrigued by Ash "Hmmm…you are just as powerful as they say" Guile says.
Soon the group meets up at the center of town "Okay, so Anthony says Gardenia town is where the next Pokemon Contest is happening" Dawn says "Alright, then lets go" Ash says and him and the group begin making their way outside of the city.
After a battle with Burgundy Ash and the gang continue on with their journey. What will happen next? Stay tuned and find out.
To be continued…
Okay we just wrapped up Chapter 38 of the story and to be honest the reason it was shorter then my recent chapters is because well…it was a filler chapter.
As you can see Guile Hideout has an agenda of his own and is somehow using Giovanni to further that agenda. We'll find out what that is soon.
Also for the episodes/chapters, which include or is focused on Gligarman, I'm thinking of adapting plots from Batman the Animated Series and The Batman. Which do episodes do you think I should adapt?
Also I'm having a vote on what starter Pokemon from Generation I and II Bianca will catch. If you haven't yet go on my profile and vote.
I'll update as soon as I can and have a merry Christmas!
