It's currently eight in the morning, Ash and his pokemon followed their daily training routine.Starting with meditation,warm-up exercises,running and then starting their heavy exercises.Brock is preparing meal for their pokemon and for themselves as well.
"Graveler use gyroball; Milotic use hydro pump; Salamence use flamethrower; Zeraora use thunderbolt; Bisharp use dark pulse " said Ash
Graveler is using gyroball and three pokemon launching their attacks.With the help of gyroball, Graveler easily deflected the three attacks.
"Graveler you can stop now, Pidgeotto, it's your turn now, " said Ash
"Pidgeotto, use tailwind to increase your attack, Milotic, Salamence and Zeraora use your respective attacks to target Pidgeotto." said Ash
Attacks from all three pokemon hit Pidgeotto making him cry in pain. Pidgeotto then increased his speed.
After training for next one hour, Pidgeotto is now able to dodge attacks at much faster speed.
"Ash, food is ready, " said Brock
As Ash and his friends; and their pokemon finished with their meal, a small blue Pokémon appear that have leafs over the head which Ash recognized as an Oddish.
"Hey little girl would you like to have some food," asked Brock as he gives her a food tray.
"Oddish od," said oddish as she hesitated first, then sniffed the food which she finds was about to eat, a vine appear out of nowhere sending tray in air
("Oddish what are you doing here with those humans") said dino type pokemon having a bulb on his back
"Hey that's Bulbasaur, and in the wild, " said Ash
("well, they offered me food and it tastes good") said oddish
("Oddish, they can have poison in the food") said the Bulbasaur
("I am a poison type, don't forget, ") said Oddish
("Now come back, Melanie is waiting for you") said the Bulbasaur as both disappeared into bushes.
Ash then returned all of his Pokémon as Misty and Brock does the same , packed all the stuff and ran in the same direction, the two pokemon ran off.After twenty minutes of running, the group came across a rusty bridge.
"Hey, guys, where he has gone? We here only have this rusty bridge" said Ash
"Maybe it had crossed this bridge, now let's go" said Ash
"But Ash are you sure? Is it safe to pass through here?" asked Misty
"This bridge is in bad condition, I don't think it can handle any weight, " said Brock
"You are right, and we can not risk our life, " said Ash as he sends his Metagross out.
"Metagross can you help us, we want to reach other side of the bridge, " said Ash
"Sure Ash, " said Metagross as he used his psychic powers to lift Ash, Misty and Brock and place them on other side of the bridge.
"Thanks Metagross, " said Ash as he recalled it back.
"So where Bulbasaur and Oddish went, " asked Misty
"I can't say that, I don't even get time to read aura of Bulbasaur, " said Ash
"Aura, " asked Misty
"Yes aura, essence of every living creature.A wave of spiritual energy, sometimes referred to ki, chakra, haki or nen" said Ash
"For example if I can see your aura , you have high affinity towards water types because your element is water.You have a fear of bug types and you can easily get anger but you love your pokemon and can do anything for them.You can also sometimes get jealous of others because most active aura in your body is orange aura that deals with emotions." said Ash
"Well this is a topic of another time, we have to search for Bulbasaur, " said Ash
As Ash and his friends walking deep into the forest, they encounter a Nidoran.
"Great, a nidoran, " said Ash as he sends his Pikachu but Nidoran flew away
"Guys let's go, I believe that Nidoran is somehow will take us to bulbasaur, " said Brock
"Yes, we just wanted to tell bulbasaur that we didn't meant to harm Oddish, " said Ash.Twenty minutes later Ash and his friends are moving downwards.
"Hey Ash, since you are from Pallet town, did you ever take care of starters, " asked Brock
"Yes I remember, Three years ago, when I came for vacation from training for two months, I assisted Professor Oak in hatching eggs of three starters.During that time those pokemon were small.For that period I played with them and they started to like me as well.I don't know where they are right now.I hope that their trainers are taking good care of them" said Ash
"I wonder what they are doing right now, " said Ash as
The trio is walking deep inside the forest until Ash told them to stop."What happened?" asked Misty
"There is a trap, " said Ash as he closed his eyes and used aura vision to look for trap.
"Full there is a big trap, a massive pitfall " said Ash
"So how we will find any one, " asked Brock
"Leave that to me, " said Ash as he sends his Gardevoir and Pidgeotto out.
"Pidgeotto, can you find any human in this forest. If you find any, please take us there." said Ash as pidgeotto flew away in search of human.
"Gardevoir please teleport us on other side of the path, " said Ash
Once Ash and his friends are on other side , he let Gardevoir out for a while.Then pidgeotto took them to the place where a girl lives.
"Stop it right there, " said the voice.
When they turned they saw a girl.
"What are you doing here, " asked Melanie
"We are kinda lost, we are going towards
Vermilion city, " said Misty
"And we are looking a place to rest for a bit, " said Brock
"I am Melanie, care taker of abandoned and hurt pokemon at hidden e with me , you can rest there, " said Melanie
"So, you are trainers right ? " asked Melanie
"Yes, Misty is Cerulean City gym leader, I am Pewter City gym leader and Ash is taking part in Indigo league, " said Brock
"Promise that you won't capture any pokemon of hidden village." said Melanie
"We promise, " said the trio
"Did you set up those traps, " asked Ash
"Yes, there are certain humans that tried to capture ill and weak pokemon from hidden village." said Melanie
"That's bad, " said Brock
"But you are doing great job by saving them, " said Ash
After twenty minutes Melanie, Ash and his friends are in hidden village.Hidden village is a small area in the forest with a small lake and a small cottage near it.
Ash could see multiple pokemon roaming around.In lake there are multiple water types could be seen swimming.Hidden village mainly comprises of grass, poison,water and bug types.Misty then spotted an Oddish roaming around.
"Hey, are you the same Oddish that we encountered before, " asked Misty but Oddish didn't said anything at all. All off sudden a vine whip strikes Misty.
"Bulbasaur!" Melanie scolded, "That wasn't very nice!"
The grass type ignored them both leaving them to go elsewhere. Brock and Ash came over having seen the whole thing.
(" They tried to give poison to Oddish" ) said Bulbasaur which Melanie understood as name of Bulbasaur.
"Melanie , I know what happened.Actually we encounter Oddish before and we tried to give Oddish sone food, but Bulbasaur thought we tried to give Oddish spiked food." said Ash
"Bulbasaur, we didn't tried to give oddish any poisoned food." said Ash as Bulbasaur walked away taking Oddish with him.
"What's with bulbasaur, " asked Ash
"Two years ago, I found this Bulbasaur with injuries not far from here.Looking at his condition, I immediately know that a trainer abandond him and there may be two reason, first he didn't wants to evolve or he lost against a trainer.And from that time Bulbasaur is with me, helping me with taking care of injured and abandoned pokemon." said Melanie as she petted Bulbasaur
Misty started to speak with water types as she sends her water types in the pool.
There are many water types that includes Poliwag,Shellders,Magikarp, Marill.Grass type in hidden village are Oddish, Bulbasaur, Weepinbell.Poison type includes Weedle, ekans, male and female Nidoran. Bug type includes Caterpie, Beedrill,Venonat, Butterfree, Paras and other includes Ratata.
"What are you doing, " asked Melanie
"I am preparing some food for the pokemon here, you will like the food, " said Brock.Meanwhile Ash is interacting with other pokemon including the Nidoran he encountered before
"So you meant to say that you can understand pokemon, " asked Nidoran
"Yes, I wish I could have a pokemon like you. Just imagine, how strong you could become when you grow up as Nidoking, "
said Ash
"You believe that I can become a Nidoking, " asked Nidoran
"Yes, everything is possible.Just look at them" said Ash pointing at his pokemon. Nidoran looked at them too
"You see, these pokemon are with me from a long time, except Pikachu, Pidgeotto, Butterfree, Steelix, Graveler." said Ash
"Apart from Lucario, Zeraora and Zororark others we're given to me by my dad.All others were abandoned and hurt pokemon that my dad saved and he gave them to me." said Ash
Meanwhile Bulbasaur was walking towards Ash, he poked Ash's shoulders with his vines.
"Is something wrong Bulbasaur, I am just chatting with Nidoran here, " said Ash
("You look familiar to me, " ) said Bulbasaur
"What you mean, " asked Ash
"I can feel that I know you from somewhere else, " said Bulbasaur
"Can I touch your head, I will not hurt you " said Ash
"Sure, " said Bulbasaur
When Ash touched his head, Ash read his previous memories and he is shocked.
"Bulbasaur, are you the same Bulbasaur from professor oak's lab.The one I took care of three years ago" asked Ash
"What you mean?" asked Bulbasaur
"You remember me ? I am Ash from professor Oak's lab.Three years ago, you, Charmender and Squirtle hatched from eggs and we all four used to play together with my other pokemon" said Ash
"I don't know, I remembered that we used to play with a kid, and his riolu, an electric cat, and a mischevious gox and many other pokemon" said Bulbasaur
"And when I went to train, you three cried a lot, professor told me," said Ash
"I remember now, you are the same Ash, how couldn't I recognised you, " said Bulbasaur as he happily hugged Ash
"Ash, Bulbasaur started to like you.What you did" asked Melanie
"Well, we both knew each other.I assisted professor in hatching him from egg.We used to play with each other. " said Ash
"I am glad that you both knew each other, " said Melanie , Misty and Brock
All of sudden a shadow covered the area.
"Why these people are still trying to steal my friends, " said Ash with boredom
"Everyone, send them away from here, " said Ash.Before team rocket could try, Ash's pokemon blasts them off with their attacks.
"What was that, " asked Melanie
"That's team rocket, they are after my rare pokemon, and any pokemon they find interesting, " said Ash
After spending six hours Ash and his friends decided to leave the hidden village.
"Now, I think we have to go Melanie, we need to reach Vermilion City." said Ash
"Yes, we are already running late, " said Misty
"Guys can you do me a favour, " asked Melanie
"Can you guys adopt some pokemon from here, I know you guys will take care of them, " said Melanie
"But, they should stay here, they will be safe, " said Brock
"I know but of they are with you, they will get stronger." said Melanie
"We have to ask them, " said Ash
"If anyone wants to come with us, we would be happy to take you as our team member and we all promise that you would not be abandoned again, " said Ash
After this many pokemon decided to join them.Poliwag, Shellder, Magikarp, Marill and Oddish joined Misty. Bulbasaur, Weepinbell and male Nidoran joined Ash.Female Nidoran joined Brock.
It's already one hour passed when Ash got three new team members, all three are part poison type.Melanie told Ash and his friends a shortcut to reach Vermilion City and now they are walking on a path that will lead them to their destination.
"Marill are you enjoying yourself" asked Misty at which the small pokemon nodded
"You know, I will become a great water type expert, hope we both can achieve this dream," said Misty to which it nodded
"What's that, " asked Ash
"What happened Ash, " asked Brock
"A pokemon is in danger, it can die, " said Ash as he started to run in particular direction
"What, please stop, we are coming too, " said Brock
After running for ten minutes Ash, Brock and Misty came near a huge boulder and on that boulder a familiar pokemon is sitting.That Pokemon is not well either, covered in bruises, flesh teared off from his legs, broken jaw, bleeding eyes and low tail flame. Flock of Spearow are pecking it.
"Oh no, who did that, " asked Misty in concern
"We can question that later on, but we have to save him at any cost, " said Ash
"Pikachu use thunder wave on Spearow to send them back to their nest, " said Ash.Once flock of Spearow are gone, Ash approached the pokemon and said "Hey Charmender, we are going to save you.Don't worry, we will not let you die, you are in good hands, "
Ash then started to use his aura skills and send the pulse of aura across Charmender's body after which Charmender is put to sleep.Ash then sends another pulse of aura after which tail flame of Charmender started to get back to normal.
Ash then sends pulse of aura again after which the wounds started to disappeared.
After ten minutes of more aura healing, Charmender's muscles started to get back to normal and started healing but at slower rate.Ash then used his aura to place his broken jaw at it's usual position.
For next ten minutes Ash used his aura to improve condition of Charmender.Brock and Misty stood there looking at Ash in shock.
"Guys,let's take Charmender to nearby pokemon center, I did most of the thing but he still needs to be in observation.He will be fit and fine in next two to three weeks and would be able to move in next few hours, " said Ash
"I will explain you later, " said Ash as he started to feel weakness.Ash felt the world spinning and lost his balance falling to his knees.He felt himself breathing quickly and sweating and after that he passed out.
"Ash !" said Misty in worry
In nearby pokemon center, nurse joy is done with treating another pokemon.Then all of sudden Misty and Brock darted in the hall of pokemon center with Ash and Charmender in their arms.Beside them are Lucario and Gardevoir
"Nurse joy, please take a look at this pokemon, " said Misty giving her Charmender.
"Calm down, explain me what happened to this pokemon and this kid " said Joy looking at Ash
Ash and his friends explained her full details except the aura thing.
"Thank God you brought him here, I will see him,meanwhile you can wait in the waiting area.
" Hope Charmender recovers from his injuries, " said Misty
"I did everything in my power to save and heal him, all the aura techniques which I learned to heal injured pokemon." said Ash
On the other side of lobby Ash could see a group of boys sitting on couch, with multiple pokeballs on the table. Ash is sensing weak aura signals coming from pokeball.
"Guys, I can sense that pokemon in those pokeballs are not feeling well, " said Ash
"How so," asked Misty
"I can sense, " said Ash
"Damian, didn't you had Charmander, " asked one boy at this ash perked up.
"Yeah, that Charmander.He was so weak that he could not battle well, so I abandoned him and told him to wait on the rock, and he was so foolish that he believed what I said to now he already got eaten by wild pokemon." said Damian
"That bastard," said Brock.Ash become so furious that his aura flared up and gets in action, his eyes became bloody red. misty and Brock saw this and got scared.Pikachu who was there also got angry on the bunch of kids.
"Damian " said Ash in loud voice which echoed through the hall and then reached in to the observation room where Charmender is sleeping.As name of Damian enters the ears of Charmender he opened his eyes
"Damien is here, he is back for me," thought Charmender
Ash then walked to Damian and punched him, "Hey what was that for," asked Damian.
"That's for pokemon abuse and abandoning a pokemon," said Ash
"What are you talking about man, I don't know about it" said Damian
"You said it recently that you abandoned a Charmender," said Ash as all of sudden all of Damian's friend's got up and tried to grab Ash's hand.
"You played wrong move," said Ash as he sends bio electric aura in their body that threw them into the wall and paralysed them.Damian's friends started to cry in pain.
"Now would you accept, or should I call officer Jenny, plus my friends are gym leaders and they are eye witness.They heard everything you said." said Ash
"I didn't do anything," said Damian as Ash's aura flared up more, Ash tone become more demonic.
"You are right, you didn't do anything," said Ash making Damian sigh in relief.
"You didn't show your responsibility as a trainer, you didn't care for your pokemon, you didn't think about feelings of your pokemon." said Ash as he grabbed Damian by throat and lifted him up in the air.
"I can kill you anytime for neglecting your Charmender,but being an aura guaridian apprentice,I have no right to do so.I am not someone who decide whether you should live or die." said Ash
"Please leave me alone," said Damian as Misty and Brock could see terror in his eyes.
Back in observation room, Charmender stood up weakly and removed the wires that monitor his vitals.Chansey tried to stop but Charmender is not listening to her and ran outside.
"Ash, leave him.Let officer Jenny decide his fate," said Misty as all of sudden a Charmender came running into the hall.
"Chansey chan" said Chansey as she is running behind Charmender.Charmender then came near Ash
"Leave my trainer alone, he promised me that he will return, and he did.Please leave him, he is my trainer." said Charmender
Ash smiled at him and then looked at Damian in angry look."See, this is your same pokemon that you abandoned.He still cares for you, but what you did huh, he was injured, and you left him there, in wild to become food of wild pokemon."
"I wish you have never born," said Ash as he brings out the pokeball that he used to capture Charmender.
"Charmender, I am sorry.I had to capture you so that I can bring you here." said Ash as he is about to pressed button of pokeball to release him.But what Damian said made Ash more furious and Charmender cry.
"You can keep that foolish Charmender, I don't need him anymore,I can capture powerful fire type in the wild." said Damian as he started to laugh in demonic way.
"Charmender see yourself, you still wanted to be with him," asked Ash after which Charmender is in deep thought and then said "Please save my other friends as well, " before he faints on the spot.
"Chansey take him back to the observation room," said Joy
"You know Damian, I was about to give you a second chance, Charmender wanted to give you a second chance but you left me no choice." said Ash
"Guys, call officer Jenny," said Ash as he released Bulbasaur and Weepinbell to hold Damian and his friends till officer Jenny arrives.Ash told Lucario,Zeraora and Gardevoir to keep an eye on these people.
Ash then called professor to inform him about Damian.Professor is furious on how could a trainer abuse his pokemon. Professor then told Ash that he will report this to league and Damian's license will be cancelled. Professor also told Ash that a package is sent for you at Vermilion City pokemon center.After ten minutes Officer Jenny arrives.
"Who called me here," asked Jenny
"We did, this is the Damian who abandoned his pokemon.I have eye witness, this is Pewter City gym leader Brock and Cerulean City gym leader Misty.Nurse Joy is also an eye witness here." said Ash as everyone give confirmation.
"Officer, please take his pokemon and check if they are fit and fine.If they are abused you can give them to nurse Joy
or you can send them to Prof. Oak.He will take care of them " said Ash
"That's a great idea," said Jenny
Jenny then took all of Damian's pokemon in custody.
"Damian, you have more than six pokemon, " said Jenny
"Umm, Jenny I have more than six pokemon, but my carry limit is authorised by Prof.Oak himself." said Ash
"Thankyou for informing," said Jenny as she,Ash and his friends went outside and released all pokemon that Damian had.They are shocked to see the condition of pokemon.They all are looking weak, malnourished and abused.Ash then ran towards Damian and punched him in the guts making him cough blood.
"He might have caught it or traded pokemon from other regions as well, I think that's for show off," said Brock

"Everyone, you all will be free from today, Damian will no longer be your trainer and you will be given in good hands," said Misty that made everyone happy
"Why don't you guys adopt them," asked Jenny
"We," asked Misty
"Yes, you and Brock are a gym leader and
you guys are best trainers for them." said Jenny.Ash then turned towards the group of pokemon who are confused and said "Do you really want to join us, if yes ,then I assure you that you will not feel abandoned, and if you don't want to be with us then you can live freely in the wild."
Jenny is happy that Ash is giving them choice.
"We wish to join you all," said the group of pokemon
"Guys, they are ready to join us," said Ash
"Who wants to join us, Brock is rock type gym leader, Misty is water type gym leader and I am not type specific" said Ash
after which Vaporeon,Spheal, Clauncher, Shellos joined Misty.Cranidos,Armaldo, Drednaw, Rolycoly joined Brock. Elekid,Abra,Magnemite,Magby, Espeon,Umbreon,Scizor,snover, Sandshrew(Alolan),Machop,Aron,Rolycoly Makuhita,Pancham joined Ash
For next two days Ash and his friends spent their days in pokemon center.Ash and his friends decided to make their new team members feel good, during that time all the ownership of pokemon transfered from Damian to Ash and his friends.Charmender Also joined Ash after knowing that he is the one who saved him.
