Hey Everyone, here's a shoutout from Tevinblair, part of it will be an explanation of what happened with the Porygon episode
Tevinblair: I figured that something like having Team Rocket taking over Silph. Co and putting a lot of people and Pokemon lives in jeopardy to the point where they could've died would definitely have caught the attention of the Psychics of the Saffron City Gym especially Sabrina and her father through their Psychic abilities and I'm very surprised that this wasn't considered in the games by Game Freak. We were considering having Ash lose against Phantom but I don't think that it would've helped get Ash's point across plus it would've felt like that Ash vs Paul battle at Lake Acuity and we all know how that went especially with that aftermath. Also to the guest reviewer who thought their question was insensitive, I will gladly answer your question about the Porygon episode: So there was a incident involving a particular scene in the episode that caused a lot of flashing lights and a lot of people in Japan fell into epileptic shock due to said flashing lights which lead to the event being called the Pokemon Shock and the episode was pulled out of circulation and the anime series went into a four month hiatus after the incident before airing any more episodes. This incident is a major part of Pokemon history because it inadvertently got the anime series to continue on to this very day because originally the anime series was supposed to last for a year and a half as long as the Kanto Arc so if that incident didn't happen, we would've likely to have never seen the other Regions or any of the other characters in the video game series in the anime series period. Your question is very important so you were in the right place. JurassicDinoDrew, Yes you are correct because The Fated Battle Between Father and Son will be happening in this chapter and I'm very excited about this chapter just as much as everyone else so get ready everyone. Also since it's been officially confirmed that Ash will get the Celebi from the GS Ball, I will gladly tell you that Celebi is going to be very useful to Ash and his friends as the series goes on especially in some situations where it will be a big help for everyone.
Questions
Will Ash get regular pokemon & shiny pokemon
Yes

Soon…very soon
Viridian City
The gang were almost at Viridian City
"Are you excited to battle your Dad, Ash?" Serena asked
"Of course I am." Ash said
"Well, you know your Dad uses Ground Type Pokémon, you can defeat him by using Grass, Water, & Ice Type Pokémon." Brock said
"Hey Ash, why did your Dad create Team Rocket?" Serena asked
"My dad didn't create Team Rocket, my grandmother did." Ash said
"Your Grandmother?" Brock said
"Yeah, when my grandma was pregnant with my dad & two uncles, her boyfriend who is also my grandfather left her. He said some things that caused her to create Team Rocket, she later regretted creating the organization & when Dad disbanded it, she was relieved." Ash said
"Oh, I feel sorry for her." Serena said with sympathy "Maybe we should go see her, I'd love to meet your grandma."
"Well luckily, she lives in Viridian City." Ash said
When they got to Viridian City, first they went to The Pokémon Center to get Ash's Venusaurite & Blastoisinite. Blastoise wore the Blastoisinite on the left temple of his sunglasses, Venusaur wore the Venusaurite in a band placed around the stem of the flower on his back. Then they went to Ash's grandmother's house & knocked on the door
"Come in." A voice said
They entered the house & it was dark inside, then the lights went on & party poppers went off. The gang saw Delia, Red, a man with very short & flat black hair, black eyes, wearing a black formal suit with a white long sleeve button shirt with a red tie at the collar & black dress shoes also known as Giovanni Sakaki the Viridian Gym Leader(appearance based on the games & outfit based on the XY series), & a woman with black wavy hair with a gray hair streak, yellow hazel eyes, wearing a red pencil skirt suit, a pearl necklace, & black high heels.
"Mom, Dad, Grandma, Red." Ash said surprisingly
"Hi honey." Delia greeted as she hugged Ash
"What are you all doing here?" Ash asked
"We decided to have a family lunch before your final gym battle, you can't battle on an empty stomach." Ash's grandmother said as she noticed Brock & Serena "Oh, who are your friends?"
"This is Serena, she's the one I met at Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camp." Ash introduced
"Oh, so you're the one from the Kalos Region, Ash told me about." Ash's grandmother said
"It's great to see you, Serena." Delia said
"You too, Mrs. Ketchum." Serena said
"Is your mom doing alright?" Giovanni asked
"Oh, she's fine." Serena said
"& this is Brock, you all know him." Ash said
"Hey Brock, didn't expect you to end up traveling with my brother." Red said
"Yeah, I'm traveling to become a Pokémon Doctor." Brock said as he turned to Delia & Giovanni "By the way, Mom & Dad said Hi"
"Well, it's nice to meet all of you, I'm Mercede Sakaki, Ash's Grandmother." Mercede introduced "I'm sure all of you are hungry after traveling such a long journey."
"We are." Ash said
Then a Meowth-like Pokémon with a red gem in the center of its forehead & a mime-like Pokémon
"Hey Persian, Hi Mr. Mime." Ash said
"Per." Persian greeted
"Mr. Mime." Mr. Mime greeted
"Are these your Pokémon?" Serena asked Delia & Giovanni
"Yes, Persian is one of my Pokémon & Mr. Mime is one of Delia's." Giovanni said as Ash & Serena pulled out their Rotom Phones
Persian, the Classy Cat Pokémon, A Normal Type, & the evolved form of Meowth. It's tough to become friends with this Pokémon. Persian is vain & violent, & anyone who meets its gaze will feel the pain of its sharp claws
Mr. Mime, the Barrier Pokémon, a Psychic & Fairy Type. Mr. Mime is a master of pantomime. Its gestures and motions convince watchers that something unseeable actually exists. Once the watchers are convinced, the unseeable thing exists as if it were real.
"Pikachu." Pikachu said as he greeted Persian & Mr. Mime
"Per." Persian said as he went up to Pikachu, sniffed him, & licked his cheek
"Mime Mime." Mr. Mime said as he picked up Pikachu & hugged him.
"Cha." Pikachu cooed
While they were eating lunch, The gang told them about their journey through Kanto. Ash told his family about his power, they were stunned & amazed that they learned that he has psychic powers. After they were done eating, they headed to the Viridian Gym for Ash's final Gym battle.
"The battle between Ash from Pallet Town & Giovanni the Viridian Gym Leader will now begin. This will be a 5 on 5 battle & it will be over when either side's Pokémon are unable to battle. Only the challenger can substitute Pokémon." Cole announced

"Ash has a great strategy." Mercede complimented "No wonder he has gotten this far."
"Dugtrio, use Dig." Giovanni said as Dugtrio dug underground
"Use Water Pulse in the hole." Ash said. Meowth fired Water Pulse in the hole & water splashed out of it. A few seconds later, Dugtrio came out wet & fainted.

"Come back, Dugtrio." Giovanni said as he returned Dugtrio "You are strong, but it's not over yet. Come out, Nidoqueen."

"Are you still able to go on?" Ash said
"Yeah." Meowth nodded
"Then use Slash." Ash said. Meowth claw glowed white & slashed Nidoqueen, but then he became poison.
"Meowth." Ash gasped
"Nidoqueen's Ability is Poison Point, your Meowth became poisoned when he physically attacked her." Giovanni said. "Now, Nidoqueen, use Focus Punch."
Nidoqueen's fist glowed orange & punched Meowth which sent him flying into a wall & fainted
"Meowth is unable to battle, Nidoqueen wins." Cole declared
"You alright, Meowth?" Ash asked
"I didn't expect that Nidoqueen to have Poison Point." Meowth said
"Me neither, take a good rest." Ash said as Meowth climbed on his shoulder. "Venusaur, I choose you!"
Ash sent out his Venusaur
"Saur." Venusaur said
"Oh, so you're using Venusaur now." Giovanni said "I was surprised that you've caught the whole Kanto starter set since it's a big accomplishment."

Venusaur fired a yellow beam of energy & hit Nidoqueen, then he got hit by a white beam from underneath the ground & both Pokémon fainted
"Both Pokémon are unable to battle, it's a draw." Cole declared
"Venusaur return." Ash said as he returned Venusaur.

"& here's a TM27 containing the move Fissure." Giovanni said as he gave Ash a Ground Type TM
"Congratulations Ash, you have all 8 badges." Serena congratulated
"& that means you'll get to enter the Pokémon League." Brock said
"Here's an idea, let's go back to Pallet Town & celebrate." Delia suggested
So with Ash's 8th & final gym badge, everyone headed back to Pallet Town as the journey continues
There you have it folks, Ash has earned his final Gym Badge. Now to avoid confusion, Ash's full name is Ash Ketchum Sakaki, but he goes by Ash Ketchum for short. You know, it confused me that Gary had got 10 badges, I mean he only needed 8 badges, what more did he want? Originally Pika Papow was supposed to debut in the Viridian City chapter but was changed due to the Silph. Co chapter having a better moment for Pikachu to learn that move.
Chapters until the Indigo League: 5
Stay tuned for another chapter, Morpho Out
