Chapter 52

Some Johto Misadventures

Latter that Day

As the group was heading down the path they see a girl calling out baseball plays to her pokemon, a chikorita, as she fights a rattata and then catches it. The girl then turns and notices Ash and the group standing there "Ahhhh! You're Ash Ketchem!" she cries "Jeeze calm down, yes I am Ash Ketchem but I don't need you screaming my name out loud like that" says Ash "Could you give me some pointers? I just started my journey and I'd appreciate it a lot" asked the girl "How about we have a battle, I have two pokemon that could use the experience" said Ash "Okay" agreed the girl

"By the way the name's Casey" introduced Casey "And I'll start by showing you my starter chikorita" "Well lets see how the popplio I recently got fares" said Ash as he sent out his pokemon "Popplio? I've never heard of that pokemon before" said Casey as she pulled out her pokedex, but it didn't have any info on popplio as it came from Alola and not Johto "Huh? What's going on, why can't my pokedex tell me what that pokemon is?" asked Casey "That pokedex is for the Johto region only, you'd need the national version to get information on all recorded pokemon" explained Ash "Well no mater, chikorita use Tackle" said Casey "Dodge and use Baby Doll Eyes and then Disarming Voice" countered Ash

As chikortia came charging in to tackle popplio, it gave it the most adorable look that stopped it in its tracks; popplio then unleashed a cry that sends chikortia reeling "Hang in there and use Vine Whip" orders Casey "Dodge and use Pound" countered Ash

Chikortia sent forth vines that hit popplio very hard and knocked her back a few feet before she came rushing over and slapped chikortia "Chikortia use Tackle" called Casey "Popplio use Disarming Voice" countered Ash

As chikorta began to charge popplio it sent forth a cry that knocked chikortia off balance "Quick use Pound" called Ash "Get out of the way and then use Vine Whip" called Casey

As popplio came in to slap chikorta it tried to slap it with vines, but popplio ducked out of the way "Chikortia use Razor Leaf!" ordered Casey "Popplio use Water Gun" countered Ash

Sadly Chikortia did not know Razor Leaf, though it tried to use it, so it was hit by popplio's Water Gun and was taken out "Awww, I thought I had you there, well come out pidgey" said Casey as she swapped her pokemon "Popplio you did great out there, but let's have the other one have his chance" said Ash as he to swapped pokemon

"Dewpider it's your turn"

"Pidgey use Quick Attack" ordered Casey "Fight back with Aurora Beam" countered Ash

As pidgey charged dewpider at high speeds, dewpider fired of a colorful cold beam and one shotted the poor bird "Aww, if you weren't so highly skilled I would have said you cheated" pouted Casey "You would accuse a Aura Guardian of cheating?" asked Ash "No" answered Casey quickly "Well I can tell you are off to a good start, so keep up your good work" said Ash "Thanks, I hope to see you again" thanked Casey as she ran off to get her pokemon healed

Two Days Latter

The group are walking threw a forest when they noticed that a large number of the trees had died "What's happening to the trees?" asked Serena "I think some bug types are to blame" said Ash "Ewww I hate bug types" complained Misty "It doesn't matter Misty, we need to see what's going on" said Ash as he ran ahead with Tomo close behind him

When the group caught up to Ash and Tomo they found them talking to a ranger named Woodruff "Ash, please don't go running off like that again" begged Misty "Sorry guys, but I found out what's happening" apologized Ash "What?" asked Brock "Let me show you" offered Woodruff

Woodruff showed the group where a swarm of heracross were drinking the sap from a tree and once they finished a swarm of butterfrees came and finished what was left behind by the heracross "You see in this part of the forest what you see before you is what is supposed to happen" explained Woodruff just as a swarm of pinsirs came and chased off the other pokemon and drained the trees "Stop it right there!" yelled Ash

Sadly the pinsirs payed him no heed and continued to feed "The pinsir live in the forest across the river, but I don't know why they are here in this one" explained Woodruff "Lets head over there and see what's going on" said Ash

Everyone headed over to the bridge that connected the two forests and found that it was destroyed "Whoever is responsible for this must have wrecked the bridge" noted Woodruff "How are we going to get across?" asked Brock

The answer came in the form of a heracross that had followed them and knocked over a large tree across the river "Thanks heracross" thanks Ash "Lets hurry and find out whats going on" says Woodruff

The group found the cause of the trouble, it was a bunch of thieves that were taking the sap from the biggest tree and they were fighting Team Rocket who were trying to steal the sap for themselves "Hand over the sap!" ordered Jessie "Make us!" yelled the leader of the thieves "If it's going to be that way then fine" said James as him and Jessie sent out their pokemon

"Is it me or have they gotten some new pokemon" noted Misty "It appears so, but lets wait and see what happens before we do anything" replied Ash "Ha! Your pokemon won't be able to beat our robot!" yelled the leader of the thieves as he pressed a button that caused a large mecha pinsir that had large tanks of sap on its back

Team Rocket put up a well fought fight against the large robot, but non of their pokemon could do very much damage to it. Team Rocket noticed that they were not making any progress so they retreated, seeing that Ash was watching them and they didn't feel like getting their butts handed to them "Hahahaha! No one can stop us!" cried out the leader in victory "Not even Team Rocket!" "What about an Aura Guardian?" asked Ash as he stepped out into clearing with an Aura Sphere in his right hand

"Ha! Not even you can stop us!" mocked the leader "Really?" asked Ash as he threw the Aura Sphere at the robot, and made a major dent in it

Just then the heracross that helped them before appeared and with its horn flipped the robot into the air and cash into the ground. The robot then exploded from the impact and Ash took the distraction to grab all the thieves in a psychic grip "Thank you so much for your help" thanked Woodruff after he arrested the men "Before we go, celebi can you restore the damage done to the forest?" said Ash as he sent out his legendary pokemon of the forests "Of course, just give me a moment to gather my power" complied celebi

"Thank you both for saving the forest" thanked Woodruff "It was nothing" replied Ash as the group started to head back onto the path, when the heracross from before appeared and knelled in front of Ash "Oh, you want to come with?" asked Ash

The heracross nodded so Ash nodded and threw a net ball and captured him "Alright! I got a heracross!" exclaimed Ash with glee

"Lucky you" said Misty who was not overly pleased that Ash got another bug type "You know Misty one of the gyms here in Johto uses bug types" said Ash "Ugh, then I'm staying outside while you have your match then" said Misty "I figured you would, I don't want to force you to do something you don't want to" replied Ash

Three Days Latter

The group is walking along enjoying the scenery when suddenly rocks start raining down "Hold on!" yells Ash as he blasts the rocks apart with a wide spread Aura Cannon "Thanks Ash, but what could have caused those rocks to fall in the first place?" thanked Serena "Uhhh I can sense a large number of pokemon below us, but I can't tell what kind" said Tomo "I sense a large number of donphans in the area, they might be responsible" said Ash "Well we should keep moving, don't want to get caught in another rock slide" said Misty as she walked forward, only for the ground under her to give way causing her to fall down the cliff

"Misty!" yelled Ash as he jumped after her and managed to grab hold of her before teleporting onto the ground "Thanks Ash, if you hadn't rescued me I could have been seriously hurt" thanked Misty "Try dieing" corrected Ash "That fall was easily high enough to have killed you on impact" "Oh" said a visibly shaken Misty who had also turned pale "We should find a way to get back to the others" said pikachu "Right, they are already looking for a way down with Tomo leading them since he can tell where we are" agreed Ash

As Ash and Misty tried to regroup with the others they came across the herd of dophans that Ash had sensed earlier "Are you going to catch one?" asked Misty "Can't they already belong to someone" answered Ash "How can you tell?" asked Misty "Captured pokemon give off a distinct aura after they have been caught, but only very high skilled aura user can see it" answered Ash "He's right about them belonging to someone, and that someone just so happens to be me" says a voice

Ash and Misty look over to where the voice came from and see a young woman standing there who adds "And seeing how you're a Aura Guardian and all could you help me find my youngest one, he keeps wandering off" "Well we're trying to find our friends after we got separated, but since my brother is with them they'll be able to locate us, so yes" agreed Ash "Thanks, my name's Rochelle" thanks Rochelle

So Ash and Misty helped look for Rochelle's missing dophan. What they didn't know was that there were some poachers in the area and they had captured the missing dophan hoping to catch the rest of the herd. Sadly for them Tomo and the others had discovered them "Let that pokemon go!" yelled Tomo "Make us" sneered one of the poachers "No wannabe guardian is going to stop us" taunted another "Your mistake" said Tomo as he released his pokemon

Ash, Misty and Rochelle eventually found the missing pokemon as well as a very pleased looking Tomo and a bunch of tied up poachers "Tomo did you beat these guys yourself?" asked Ash "I sure did" answered Tomo with pride "Well done" praised Ash who was impressed "Grrr we underestimated that brat" growled the lead poacher "Serves you right" scolded Ash "You call the authorities yet?" asked Misty "I did after Tomo tied them up" answered Brock "Good" said Rochelle "I don't want any of my pokemon to be stolen"
