Battle Frontier Part 1
Meanwhile, Ash and the group are on their way through Viridian City, they decide to stop by and see their Uncle Giovanni. As they go to the gym, they see that the gym has been rebuilt.
"Wow, the Viridian Gym is rebuilt, that is awesome." Ash says.
"Indeed. Uncle can finally go back to his position as a Gym Leader." Lillie says with a smile.
"Indeed. How are you kids doing?" They are surprised to see Giovanni come out of the gym to greet them. "Hey Uncle. You see, Ash beat Uncle Wallace and he becomes the new Hoenn Champion as well."
"That is some great news. Wallace sure is a tough one to beat." Giovanni says, "So I assume that before you go home, you decide to stop by?"
"Of course." Ash says. Just then, they hear a sound of a car and then a man wearing a Hawaii Suit as well as riding a car comes in front of them.
"Hello Ash, I finally found you." The man says while adjusting his glasses.
"Um...who are you?" Ash asks.
Giovanni says, "You sure likes to sneak up on trainers, huh? Scott."
"Uncle, you know him?" Reisa asks.
"The name is Scott, I was wondering if you are interested in joining the Battle Frontier?" Scott asks.
"Battle Frontier?" This causes confusion to the group, but then they hear a scream and they turn around, they see Agatha falls off of her bike.
"Miss Agatha!" Ash calls out to her and helps her up.
"Thank you. And Ash, nice to see you again." Agatha says. "How are you guys doing?"
"We're doing fine." Mark says, "But what are you doing here?"
"I was buying some supplies here in Viridian, of course." Agatha says as she turns to Scott, "So how is your search for a strong Trainer from the Seafoam Islands going?"
"It is confidential." Scott says. "By the way, Ash, since you already won the Kanto League as well as defeating the Elite 4, how about you battle Ms. Agatha for fun?"
"Sounds interesting. I could use a little challenge." Agatha says. "And I heard from Aurora that you won the Hoenn League as well, congratulations."
"Thanks." Agatha says. Then Giovanni lends them his battlefield as the two trainers go to battle.
Agatha brings out Gengar while Ash uses Pikachu in the battle.
"So instead of using Absol, he goes for Pikachu..." Minami says.
"Ash wants to show how strong it is since last time." Lillie says.
Pikachu starts out with Quick Attack which completely misses Gengar since it is a Ghost-type Pokémon. Agatha says, "Using a Normal Move on Gengar, did you forget the basics of the type match ups?"
"Of course not. Now use Thunderbolt now!" Ash yells, but Gengar flattens its body to move under Pikachu and dodge the attack.
Gengar uses Shadow Ball as Pikachu dodges. Gengar tries to use another Shadow Ball but Pikachu jumps on top of it and then uses Iron Tail to hit Gengar, sending it to the ceiling. Pikachu tries to use another Iron Tail but Gengar uses Double Team to completely surround Pikachu. Gengar uses Shadow Ball as Pikachu uses Thunderbolt to hit all the fakes and the real one. Gengar uses Shadow Ball again as Pikachu dodges before using Iron Tail to land another hit. Pikachu finishes it off with Thunder.
"Very well. I see you get a lot stronger." Agatha says in awe.
"Thanks. Miss Agatha." Ash says.
Now that the battle is over, Scott asks, "So Ash, are you interested in challenging the Battle Frontier?"
"Sure, but how does it work?" Ash asks.
"You see, there are seven Battle Frontier facilities spread out across Kanto that are run by Trainers known as Frontier Brains, who are like Gym Leaders but more powerful. Like Gym Leaders hand out Gym Badges, each of the Frontier Brains hands out a Frontier Symbol if defeated, and once six Symbols have been earned, the location of the secret seventh facility will be revealed."
"It sounds interesting. I am going to join in." Ash says.
"That's great." Lillie says.
Just then, a mechanical grabber appears and it is aiming for Pikachu, but Absol, who was able to sense danger quick, push it out of the way but being caught instead.
"Absol!" Ash yells.
"Who did this?" Minami says.
"Prepare for trouble from the skies!" "From beyond the stars, a nasty surprise!"
"An evil as old as the galaxy…" "…sent here to fulfill our destiny!" "Plus, there is me!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" "To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!" "James!" "And Meowth's the name!"
Anywhere there's peace in the universe…" "…Team Rocket…" "…Will be there…"
"To make everything worse!" "Wobbuffet!"
Everyone is dumbfounded at the trio, and Ash says, "Really? You change your motto?"
"We misses the Pikachu, but we still got the Mega Absol." Jessie says.
"And we will show you how improved we are." James says.
Giovanni rolls his eyes and says, "They are still going after your Pokemon? I thought the evil version of me is sent back to the Dark Dimension."
"Well, they are the remaining Team Rocket members, and I don't think that they are from the Dark Dimension to say the least..." Ash says.
They try to get away, but Agatha's Golbat uses Air Cutter to cut the grabber's rope, freeing Absol.
"Now you better leave while you still can." Agatha says.
"We will never leave until we get your Pokemon." Jessie says.
Jessie brings out Seviper while James brings out Cacnea to attack. Seviper uses Bite while Pikachu uses Quick Attack to dodge and grab onto Seviper's tail to throw it. Absol uses Shadow Ball to send Seviper flying back into the balloon. Cacnea uses Pin Missile while Golbat uses Supersonic to send it back at Team Rocket. Golbat uses Air Cutter while Sylveon uses Moonblast to send Team Rocket blasting off.
"Hey, we already changed our Motto!"
"But our fate is still the same." These are their last words before they get out of their sight.
Before leaving, Scott lets Ash know that they will be contacting him soon about the Battle Frontier, and Ash agrees. And then they also bid farewell to Giovanni and Agatha as they head towards Pallet Town.
"We're finally home." Ash says to the others.
"Indeed. This sure has been a long day." Minami says.
When they enter the house, they hear Aurora says, "Welcome home."
But then they are surprised to see that Misty also come with Aurora to greet them.
"Misty?" Reisa is surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"We decide to stop by." Just then, Professor Oak and Brock also appear.
"Brock? Professor Oak? You also come?" Lillie asks in surprise.
"Yeah, I was also helping Ms. Ketchum prepare the meal." Brock says.
"That's so nice of you." Mark says.
Just then, an Azurill appears and Ash says, "An Azurill?"
"Yeah, Tracey gave me the egg and it hatched." Misty says.
Lillie says, "It is so cute."
"Yeah." Reisa says as both her and Ash send out their own Azumarill, then Azurill hops off Misty's hands and go play with them.
"So I guess you all have a wild adventure in the Hoenn Region?" Adam also comes with Zossie and Lusamine, much to Lillie's shock.
"Mom? You are here as well?" Lillie says as she hugs her.
"Hello Lillie. You sure did a good job in spying from what Aurora told me." Lusamine says.
"Yeah." Ash turns to Adam, "We sure have a crazy adventure, Crazy enough to talk through a night. Right now I am hungry."
Pikachu, Sylveon and Absol agree as Misty says, "Something never changes..."
"Yeah." Brock sighs.
Just then, they hear a car horn and look outside to see that Max and Professor Birch have come to visit him as well.
"Max? Shouldn't you be at home?" Mark asks.
"Well, I ask Professor Birch to come! And he agrees." Max says.
"That's nice. We sure have a lot of seats for the guests." Then they all have their dinner in front of the table. And then Ash tells them about everything that happened in the past journey. And Lillie did mention the battle with Uncle Sidney to others, causing Ash to be embarrassed as well as getting a scolding from Aurora.
The next day in Professor Oak's laboratory, Misty, Max, and Tracey are examining the three starter Pokémon, Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle, which will be soon handed out to a young Pokémon Trainer so they can begin their journey.
"Wow, they are so cute." Max says as he attempts to stroke the young Squirtle, causing the Pokémon to start crying in fear.
"Uh, oh, I am sorry..." Max says as the Squirtle pouts and goes back to eating its food.
Meanwhile, Tracey has been busy drawing a picture of the three Pokémon, which Max is very impressed by. Tracey tells him how Professor Oak also sketched Pokémon in his youth.
"Wow, you must be a great Pokémon watcher to be Professor Oak's assistant, I wonder what it would be like to watch Pokémon and sketch them like you do."
All this talking has apparently bored and tired out the three young Pokémon, and Misty suggests that they should take a rest in their Poké Balls, and Tracey agrees.
"Tracey, can I recall them back to their Pokeballs?" Max asks.
"Of course you can." Tracey says, but after Max proceeds to call Bulbasaur and Charmander back into their Balls, the young Squirtle suddenly becomes frightened by the disappearance of his friends. When Max tries to call it back too, it runs off crying. After being chased by Max around the lab, the crying Squirtle jumps into the arms of May who has just come up the stairs to meet them, along with Aurora.
"May?" Max is shocked to see her.
"Max, you shouldn't be too rough on Pokemon, you have to be gentler." May scolds.
"But…" Max says.
"Wait a second, why are you here?"
Just then, Ash and Lillie, along with Professor Pine, who come to visit Ash, and Professor Birch appear, Ash says, "Hey, May, nice to see you again."
"Professor Birch? And..." May says.
"I am Professor Pine, I am the one that gave Ash his Pokedex and the regional Professor in the Sevestar Region." Pine says.
"It is nice to meet you." May says.
"You see, sis. Professor Birch is the one that brought me here." Max says.
May apologizes if her brother has caused him any trouble, but Birch relies that it was his pleasure before Ash's Muk shows up and gives him a slimy hug.
"Stop it, Muk. Please get off of Professor Birch." Lillie says, but Muk shakes its head.
"Well, your Muk is really affectionate." Pine says.
Then they sit down and talk a little, May says, "So you are going to challenge this Battle Frontier?"
"Yeah, it is a challenge that is set across Kanto, with several different Frontier Brains to battle against, each one giving over a Frontier Symbol if you beat them, much like Gym Leaders hand out Badges when defeated."
"It sounds amazing." May says.
Aurora says, "Ash, May also told me that she is going to participate the Kanto Contests here as well."
"Really? Then I will be joining in as well." Ash says.
"So does that mean we are going to travel again?" May asks.
"Of course." Ash says.
"What about me?" Max asks.
"You'll have to ask Dad first." May says, much to his frown. Birch says, "Don't worry, Norman is an old friend of mine, I will tell him about this."
"Thanks, Professor." Max says in excitement.
"Max, May. The others are taking my Pokemon here, want to see it?" Ash says.
"Yeah!" Max and May are excited to see all the Pokemon.
Once they get outside, they see a lot of Pokemon appear in the yard. Ash decides to show them his Snorlax.
"Wow, so this is your Snorlax..." Max says as the Pokemon wakes up and waves at them.
"That is so cool." She sends out all her Pokemon, but Ash notices that Beautifly and Delcatty are missing.
"Where is Beautifly and Delcatty?" Ash asks.
"You see, Beautifly is with my mother, while Delcatty settled into Dad's greenhouse and was more than happy just to stay there." May says.
"Oh, you guys are here as well?" Mark, Minami, Reisa, Zossie, Misty and Brock walk towards them and greet them.
"Mark, Minami, Reisa, Misty! It is nice to see you again." Max says.
"Same here." As they greet them and introduce Brock to them, Ash says, "But why are you here?"
"Well, we are going to warn you about-" Before Minami can finish, they hear a loud rumbling sound behind them, which turns out to be Ash's Pokémon running up to greet their Trainer after a long time of not seeing him. Stampeding towards them are Venusaur, Pidgeot, Fearow, Clefable, Venomoth, Persian, Alakazam, Rapidash, Gengar, Marowak, Kangaskhan, Tauros, Ditto, Snorlax, Feraligatr, Noctowl, Xatu, Sudowoodo, Umbreon, Granbull, Heracross, Houndoom, Donphan, Tyranitar as well as Larvitar, Naganadel, Silvally, Haxorus, Skuntank, Yanmega, Actlady, Stoleptor, Mudsplash, Spispy, Smartjoy, Bushull, Vinish, Glafrost form Milotic, Infernloyal and Depressharp.
"No way, all of them are your Pokemon?" May asks.
"I never got to see all of them at the same time back in the Mirage Island, but it is so cool." Max says.
"Everyone! Nice to see you again!" Ash says, but then he and Lillie are tackled onto the ground by the Pokemon.
"Woah, I know it is long time no see, but I can't breathe if you crushing me!" Ash laughs.
"Same here." Lillie laughs.
"By the way, everyone, come on out!" Ash sends out all of his Pokemon, including the Legendaries. Then Espeon goes to nuzzle Umbreon, and then Mightyena and Absol go to play with Houndour and Silvally, Milotic meets the Glafrost Form one and they start to fall in love together. While Swellow and Altaria decide to have a race with Fearow and Stoleptor.
Zossie looks at Deoxys and she asks, "Brother, what is that Pokemon?"
"It is Deoxys, it is from space." Ash says, "It was inside the meteor that came to Earth, but we rode on Rayquaza to stop it in Space."
"Wow..." Zossie says.
They are startled when Groudon and Kyogre start to change form, Ash quickly calm down the two with Mewtwo and Latias's help.
"What is that?" Venusaur asks.
"That is Primal Reverse. It is different from Mega Evolution since they have the Red Orb and Blue Orb with them and it activates immediately."
Professor Oak says, "Well, in my life, I didn't see a lot of Legendary Pokemon in one place. I am so touched."
Professor Pine says, "Oak, you are too overreacting."
Brock asks, "Ash, what is this crystal?"
"Oh, it is Jirachi, he probably is sleeping now. Since he only wakes up for 7 days."
Suddenly, there is a large net capturing all the Pokemon. Lillie asks, "Who goes there?"
Then Team Rocket appears once more.
"They are still chasing you?" Misty asks in disbelief.
"Yeah. Even they are the only ones who remain, they are still annoying." Minami says.
Then Ash gathers all the Psychic types to break the net and then blast them off.
"Now that is settled." Ash says as they all play with the Pokemon.
When they recall their Pokemon, Ash also explains to others that he is trying the Kanto Battle Frontier and the contests. May also decides to participate in the contests, too. Which means they are going to travel together once more. Tracey tries again to recall Squirtle back into its Poké Ball, but the baby Pokémon is having none of it and jumps straight back into May's arms.
"How about you take this Squirtle with you, May?" Professor Oak says.
"Sure. I will take care of her."
May also decides to let Adam take care of Venusaur so that he can learn a lot from Ash's.
Max gets an upgrade PokeNav from Professor Pine, and he finds out that the first Facility is near Cerulean City. So Brock and Misty decides to go with them until they leave at Pewter City and Cerulean City respectively.
"What about you guys?" Ash asks Mark, Minami and Reisa.
Reisa says, "I am going to Sinnoh, I decide to partake the contests there."
"I see." Ash says.
"And I want to go to Kalos, since Aunt Valerie wants to train me with the Fairy Pokemon." Minami says.
"Same here, Grandfather wants to train me with the Fighting Type Pokemon as well." Mark says.
"I see...so it is only the four of us this time." Ash says.
"Yeah." Lillie says.
"Don't forget about me." They hear Persian walking towards them with Donphan. "We want to travel with you this time." Persian says.
"Of course you can." Ash says with a smile.
The next day, Ash and Lillie bring Butterfree, Lapras, Mewtwo, Mew, Meganium, Espeon, Steelix, Donphan, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Sceptile, Gardevoir, Vigoroth, Milotic, Beldum, Latias, Latios and Gallade with him as they bid farewell to one another, then they leave the Pallet Town once more.
Now that the group get to Pewter City, they bid farewell to Brock who goes back t school, and then they have a picnic at the foot of Mt. Moon.
"It sure has been a while to eat your cooking, Ash." Misty says.
"Yeah. I am glad that you still like it." Ash says.
"Indeed, his cooking sure is good." Max says. "I wonder what Pokemon will be able to find here."
"You will see a lot of them later on." Lillie says.
Just then, Misty got a call from her sisters as they report that the Cerulean Gym is packed with challengers eager to earn their Badges. Daisy wonders if they can just hand out the Cascade Badges in the meantime, though Misty nixes that idea and orders her sisters to be patient before she get home.
"Now we should go now, since the challengers are waiting." Misty says, but them they encounter Team Rocket again, and they trap the group's Pokémon with a vacuum machine attached to the basket of their Meowth balloon.
"Not again..." Ash says as he uses the Thunderbolt on them. Meowth sets the vacuum to full power, but due to Jessie's impatient tampering, the machine reverses the suction and returns all the captured Pokémon back to the group.
Jessie's continued interference causes the machine to malfunction and explode, blasting Misty, Max, Pikachu, Azurill and Persian off a cliff and into a river. May tries to grab Max's hand, but fails.
"Those guys..." Ash mutters, "Absol, can you detect them nearby?"
"I can only sense danger, I don't know how to detect them..." Absol says.
"What should we do?" May asks.
Just then, they see a Golbat flying by, then he says, "Here goes nothing, Beldum, I choose you!"
As the Pokemon appears, he says, "Use Take Down on that Golbat!"
The Pokemon nods as it uses the attack, and then Golbat turns around and then uses Air Slash, but Beldum didn't get enough damage and then uses Iron Head.
"Go! Pokeball!" Ash says as he throws the Pokeball, capturing the Pokemon. "Good, I have a Golbat now."
Kanto Dex Entry No.41 Zubat: The Bat Pokemon: Poison and Flying Type. Emits ultrasonic cries while it flies. They act as a sonar used to check for objects in its way.
Kanto Dex Entry No.42 Golbat: The Bat Pokemon: Poison and Flying Type. Evolved from Zubat at LV:22. It attacks in a stealthy manner, without warning. Its sharp fangs are used to bite and to suck blood.
Ash sends out Golbat and tells him to find his friends, he nods as he leaves, at the same time, Beldum starts to glow as it evolves into Metang.
"Ok, you evolve as well, that's good." Lillie says.
Hoenn Dex Entry No.124 Metang: The Iron Claw Pokemon: Steel and Psychic Type. Evolved from Beldum at LV:20. The claws tipping its arms pack the destructive power to tear through thick iron sheets as if they were silk. It flies at over 60 miles per hour.
As they move on, it starts to rain and then they decide to take a under a tree, then they see a Clefairy and Clefable.
"Wow, what are those Pokemon?" May asks.
"They are Clefairy and Clefable, they are Pokemon living in the Mt. Moon." Ash says, then the two recognizes Ash and they greet him.
"You knew these two?" May asks.
"Well, Team Rocket wanted to steal the Moon Stone in the mountain, we helped these guys stop them." Lillie says.
Then they tell them that their Cleffa is missing, so they decide to help them. Once the rain is over, they soon find fresh footprints from Misty's group and then they follow them. But when they finally find them, Team Rocket are using their vacuum machine again and this time it is about to suck Max up.
"No, Max!" May rushes to save him in time, much to their group's relief.
"Everyone, are you alright?" Ash asks as they nod. Then the Clefairy and Clefable rush towards the Cleffa, who was also with Misty and the others.
"It's the twerp..." Team Rocket mutters as they switch their vacuum machine back on. Azurill quickly uses Bubble, which is sucked into the machine instead and causes it to explode, sending the trio plummeting to the ground. Team Rocket then attack with Seviper and James's Cacnea, but Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable call their friends, who appear and begin using Metronome.
Just then, May's Munchlax appears as May says, "Munchlax?"
It then waves its arms with Clefairy as Lillie says, "So it can use Metronome as well..."
The Cleffa use Splash, causing Team Rocket's Pokémon to bounce up and down. The Clefable use Teeter Dance, causing all of Team Rocket dance as well.
"They are distracting us! We should hold ourselves together!" Meowth says as they are still moving. Jessie and James order Seviper and Cacnea to attack with Poison Tail and Needle Arm, but Pikachu stops them with Thunderbolt. Having been given the time to charge, Munchlax and the Clefairy fire their Solar Beams, sending Team Rocket blasting off.
Afterwards Cleffa, Clefairy, and Clefable march off to Mt. Moon. May asks, "What are they doing?"
"Since tonight is a Full Moon, they are probably going to perform a moon dance. The Cleffa evolution family dance around a giant Moon Stone on Mt. Moon." Lillie says.
"But I thought that it was destroyed last time, I think that they found another one." Ash says.
"Can we go watch it?" Max asks.
"Sure." Ash says as the Fairy Pokémon all welcome them to join in.
Ash and friends follow them and watch the Pokémon perform their ritual dance around the Moon Stone, instantly putting a smile on everyone's faces.
The following morning, Daisy calls Misty once again, demanding to know where she is. Misty tells her that she will be home shortly, ending the call. Misty has to take the other fork in the road, so she and Azurill leave Ash's group to return to Cerulean City.
"Good luck on your journey." Misty says to Ash and May. Then she leaves.
This is the start of the Battle Frontier, since Giovanni in my version is good, so that Agatha won't be the gym leader in Viridian for now. And then Ash already captures a new friend in this chapter and I hope you like it. The next chapter will be the 8th movie, which is the Lucario movie.
