Ash's Pokemon Journey
Summary: This story is about how I think that ash's journey should have gone through, Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. Smart, a psychic and an Aura user. I do not own pokemon.
Note: I am not doing the Kalos Region. So fairy pokemon and Mega Evolutions don't exist.
Chapter 159
Arceus,
Shaymin
And Heatran
One night Ash was dreaming. He was dreaming he was in a big cave at Mt Coronet, and all the strange plates he had gathered were surrounding him. "What's going on?" said Ash. Suddenly the plates flew away and Ash chased after them. The plates came to some sort of ancient ruins. "What is this place?" said Ash. Just then the plates disappeared underground and a big shadow of light appeared in a flash. Ash woke up from his dream with a start. "What was that about?" he said.
The next day Ash told the others about his dream. "That's certainly a strange dream Ash," said Dawn "it's almost like when we dreamt about Azelf, Mespirit and Uxie, but different". "Yes and to be honest I've had this dream ever since I've started collecting the strange plates. At first it was just one plate in front of me, and when I collected more of the plates they would appear in the dream". "Wow," said Dawn "then what are you going to do Ash?" "I'm thinking I should go back to Mt Coronet;" answered Ash "if my dreams keep showing me Mt Coronet, then the answers might be there". "But Ash, we're miles away from Mt Coronet now," said Dawn "and it will take us a while for us to get back here again". "Not unless we take a shortcut," said Ash "I'll teleport us to Mt Coronet and then teleport us back here again". "Really?" said Dawn. "Of course, I've practiced with my teleportation a lot so I can do it" replied Ash.
So the gang agreed to go to Mt Coronet to figure out Ash's dreams. Tomo, Dawn and Brock stood close to Ash and then Ash used teleport to get to Mt Coronet. Thanks to teleport the gang made it to Mt Coronet in a second. "That was amazing" said Tomo. "That's what a call a short cut" said Brock. "I'll say;" agreed Dawn "your powers never cease to amaze me Ash". Ash took out all seventeen plates from his back pack. "I can't believe you found those plates at nearly everywhere that we've been Ash" said Dawn. "Same here" said Ash. "So what do we do now?" asked Brock. Before Brock's question could be answered, the plates started glowing and floating into the air, and then they whooshed into the cave. "What just happened?!" gasped Dawn. "I don't know but let's follow them" said Ash.
The gang followed the plates into Mt Coronet. The plates flew deeper and deeper into the cave. "Where are the plates going?" said Tomo. "Maybe they're going to Spear Pillar" said Brock. Brock's theory turned out to be right because the plates did fly to Spear Pillar. "I wonder why the plates brought us here?" said Dawn "we aren't dealing with Dialga, Palkia and Giratina again are we?" "I don't think so Dawn;" said Ash "I mean that shadow in my dream did look like a pokemon, but it wasn't the shape of Dialga, Palkia or Giratina". "Then what was it then?" said Dawn. Before Ash could reply the plates glowed more bright than ever and then they disappeared under the ground. "Hey that's what happened in my dream" said Ash.
Before he could say anything else a big orb of bright light came from out of the ground, and then it faded out to reveal an Arceus. "I can't believe it; it's Arceus" said Dawn, in surprise. The seventeen plates circles around Arceus. "The plates must have belonged to Arceus" whispered Brock. Arceus looked at the gang and then he stared at Ash and silently roared. "What's wrong with Arceus?" asked Dawn. "I think it was me to get closer to it" said Ash. Before anyone could ask why, Ash bravely stepped forward towards Arceus. Arceus stared at Ash for a moment and then roared while glowing. "Oh no" said Dawn, worried Arceus was going to attack Ash. But Arceus didn't attack Ash; what did happen though was Ash started glowing too. "What's going on?" asked Dawn, worriedly. "I might be wrong, but Arceus might be bonding with Ash" said Brock. "You mean like how Ho-oh bonded with Ash?" asked Tomo. "Yes" replied Brock. Tomo, Brock and Dawn kept silent while Ash kneeled down on the ground. Arceus and Ash continued glowing some more and then it faded. Then Arceus roared and then flew into a dimension.
"What happened Ash?" asked Dawn. "You may not believe this Dawn, but Arceus made a bond with me;" said Ash "what happened was that big orb of light was Arceus' egg. And the egg would only hatch if the seventeen plates had been presented to it". "Oh I get it;" said Brock "since you found the plates, you helped Arceus hatch". "Exactly," said Ash "so out of gratitude Arceus has become my friend and it said if I need its help it will be coming to help anytime". "Wow," said Dawn "you really do have a way with legendary pokemon Ash". Ash used his teleport again to get them back to where they were before. So with the mystery behind the mysterious plates solved at last, the gang could get back to travelling to Lake Valor.
One day the gang were enjoying a relaxing time. Ash, Dawn and Brock were spending time with Azelf, Uxie and Mespirit. Tomo stared at them and sighed. Growlithe nudged Tomo to ask him what was wrong. "Oh Growlithe I wish I had a legendary pokemon of my own," he said "Ash has plenty of legendary pokemon, Brock has one and Dawn has got two. It would be nice if I could get a legendary pokemon or two for my team". Growlithe whimpered, feeling sorry for his trainer.
Suddenly Growlithe noticed something on a river and he barked. "What's wrong Growlithe?" asked Tomo. Tomo looked at the river and to his surprise, there was a Shaymin floating down the river on a small log. "That Shaymin's in trouble" said Tomo. He quickly released Staravia from its pokeball and ordered it to bring Shaymin to shore. Staravia picked up Shaymin with its claws and brought it to Tomo. Shaymin looked really weak and Tomo carried it to the others for help.
"Wow I can't believe you found a Shaymin Tomo" said Ash. "Is Shaymin going to be alright?" asked Dawn. "It will be fine;" said Brock "I've given it some medicine and all it needs now is some rest". "I wonder what Shaymin was doing, riding on a log downstream?" said Tomo. "If you ask me it must have been running away from something or someone" said Ash. "I wouldn't be surprised if someone is after Shaymin, considering it is a legendary pokemon" said Dawn. "We better prepare ourselves then, just in case Shaymin's attack us for Shaymin" said Brock. The others agreed.
An hour later Shaymin woke up. Tomo, who had kept an eye on Shaymin the whole time, was pleased to see Shaymin awake. "Hey are you okay Shaymin?" he asked. Shaymin backed away, feeling very nervous. "Hey don't be scared, we were just helping you after we found you floating down the river" said Tomo. Growlithe spoke to Shaymin, saying Tomo is telling the truth. Ash, Brock and Dawn came over to see Shaymin. "It's safe to say you are looking all better now Shaymin" said Brock, giving Shaymin a look over. "Hey Shaymin what happened to you?" asked Dawn "you were so weak before". Shaymin started talking. "It's saying it was attacked by two humans and their pokemon" said Ash. "Who attacked you?" asked Tomo. Shaymin talked again. "It's now saying there was a woman with long, yellow like hair and a man with green like hair" said Ash. "Wait a minute," said Brock "doesn't that sound like Cassidy and Butch to all of you?" "It does," answered Ash "that means Team Rocket are after Shaymin". "Oh no," said Dawn worriedly "then we better protect Shaymin". The others agreed. "I hate to think what Team Rocket would do with a Shaymin" said Brock. "I don't even want to know" said Ash. "We better leave now then" said Brock.
Soon the gang started walking again, but with Shaymin. Shaymin had told them it was going to a flower garden where the Gracidea flowers grew, on the other side of a mountain. As Team Rocket was after Shaymin, the gang decided to go with Shaymin to protect it. "I can't believe we'll be watching Shaymin transform into its sky form again" said Dawn, remembering the events with their last encounter with a Shaymin. "I can't believe we've run into another Shaymin actually" said Brock. Shaymin knew the way to the garden because it had been there before, so the gang just followed it.
As the group walked on everything was peaceful, but then a poison sting attack stopped them in their tracks. "What was that?" said Dawn. It came from a Drapion; Cassidy and Butch had turned up and they had Mismagius and Drapion out. "How pleasant to run into you brats again" said Cassidy. "I bet you're here for Shaymin right?!" shouted Ash. "That is correct, how hand it over" said Butch. "Not on your life!" shouted Tomo. "Then we'll just use force" said Cassidy. She and Butch ordered their pokemon to attack. "Pikachu let's go" said Ash. "Us as well Piplup" said Dawn. Pikachu attacked with thunderbolt and Piplup attacked with bubblebeam. Just then Cassidy and Butch threw smoke bombs about, making the group cough and hard to see things. When the smoke cleared Cassidy and Butch were gone and so were their pokemon. "Where did Team Rocket go?" said Dawn. Shaymin was still with the gang. "They didn't give up already did they?" said Dawn. "No they wouldn't give up that easily;" said Ash "I bet they've gone to call back up". "You may be right Ash," said Brock "we better keep going and quick". The gang decided to run, so not to run into Team Rocket again anytime soon.
Sometime later the gang arrived at the mountain and came across a tunnel. "Shaymin do we need to go through this tunnel?" asked Ash. Shaymin nodded yes, and the gang went into the tunnel at once. "I'm guessing the flower garden must be right at the end of this tunnel" said Brock. "We better hurry and get there then;" said Ash "that way Shaymin could transform into its sky form and fly away before Team Rocket gets back". The gang started running again to get to the exit of the tunnel quickly.
Soon they got to the end of the tunnel and got into a big garden patch. This was where the Gracidea flowers were supposed to be, but there wasn't any flower to be seen. "Oh no, flowering season must be over" said Brock. "There must be a flower here somewhere. The group started to look for a Gracidea flower all over the patch, but it looked hopeless. Suddenly Brock shouted; "I see one!" There was a flower in bloom on a big rock. "Come on Shaymin," said Dawn "let's get you onto the top of that rock so you can transform".
But before the group could make their way to the Gracidea flower, they were stopped by a poison sting attack. Cassidy and Butch had come back and this time they brought a lot of other grunts with them. "Thank you for bringing Shaymin here to us," said Cassidy "we'll take Shaymin from here". "We don't think so" said Dawn. Cassidy and Butch knew the kids weren't going to give them Shaymin so they ordered the grunts to attack. The grunts released a lot of pokemon from their pokeballs. Ash quickly threw five pokeballs and out came Infernape, Torterra, Staraptor, Gliscor and Snover. Dawn and Brock sent out all of their pokemon too; Pachirisu, Cyndaquil, Mamoswine, Buneary and Chatot, Sudowoodo, Happiny, Shieldon, Cranidos, Croagunk and Nuzleaf. "Tomo take Shaymin away from here while we deal with Team Rocket," said Ash "it's up to you now to make sure Shaymin gets away from here". "Okay" said Tomo. Tomo grabbed onto Shaymin and he and Growlithe quickly ran off to keep Shaymin safe, leaving the others to deal with Team Rocket.
Tomo and Growlithe ran back to where the entrance of the tunnel was. But then they got stopped by Butch and his Drapion. "Nice try kid," said Butch "but I noticed you running off. So you can't escape from me". "Then I will have to fight you" said Tomo. He had Growlithe look after Shaymin and he sent out Chimchar and Shellos to battle. "Don't worry Shaymin, I won't let him take you anywhere" said Tomo. Shaymin watched worriedly, while Growlithe braced himself in case something was going to happen. "Drapion attack with poison sting" said Butch. Drapion fired poison darts towards Chimchar and Shellos. "Shellos use counter" said Tomo. Shellos' counter attack bounced back at Drapion. "Chimchar use flamethrower" said Tomo. Drapion got hit by the flamethrower directly. "Drapion use cross poison" said Butch. "Dodge it you two" said Tomo. Chimchar and Shellos quickly got out of the way before Drapion could hit them with cross poison. But then Drapion used poison sting again and Chimchar and Shellos got hit by them. "Chimchar use flamethrower again and Shellos use water pulse" said Tomo. Chimchar and Shellos fired their attacks together but Drapion dodged them, and then it used cross poison which struck Chimchar and Shellos. "Give up kid," smirked Butch "your puny little pokemon are no match for me". "Never!" shouted Tomo "we'll never let Team Rocket take control of Shaymin, will we Chimchar and Shellos?" Chimchar and Shellos cried out to say no.
Suddenly Chimchar and Shellos glowed and they evolved into Monferno and Gastrodon. As Monferno was shiny, his mask was purple instead of blue. Tomo was delighted and Growlithe and Shaymin were surprised. "Come on Monferno and Gastrodon let's show Drapion your new power" said Tomo. Monferno punched Drapion with mach punch and Gastrodon used mud bomb on Drapion. "Tch just because your pokemon evolved doesn't mean you'll win" said Butch. He ordered Drapion to use toxic and Monferno got hit by it. This was bad because Monferno became poisoned. "Oh no Monferno" said Tomo, worriedly. Monferno was still willingly to fight, but he was in pain because of the poison. But then a sparkling white powder went onto Monferno and his poison was healed. It came from Shaymin, who was using aromatherapy. Shaymin saw Monferno was in trouble and decided to help him. "Thank you Shaymin" smiled Tomo. Monferno was ready to fight again and he punched Drapion with mach punch again. Then Gastrodon hit Drapion with mud bomb again and Drapion fainted from defeat. "I suggest you give up Butch or you'll feel more of my pokemon's attacks" said Tomo. "Not a chance kid; Team Rocket never gives up that easily" said Butch. "Oh yeah?" said a voice.
The voice came from Ash. "Sorry to disappoint you Butch but we've just sent Cassidy and your other members flying" said Ash. Butch flinched at that. "I suggest you leave now, or we'll send you flying" said Dawn. Butch wasn't happy about this, but he had no choice. So he quickly ran away shouting; 'you'll be sorry!' "Phew that took care of them" sighed Dawn. Shaymin was grateful the gang saved it from Team Rocket. But it was more grateful to Tomo and his pokemon for protecting it from Butch. "Come on let's get Shaymin to the Gracidea flower before anything else happens" said Brock.
Once everyone got back to the flower, Shaymin touched it and the flower's pollen transformed it into a sky form. Shaymin started flying around, happily. "There you are Shaymin," said Dawn "now you can make a beautify sky bouquet with other Shaymin". "You can fly away now" said Brock. "I guess this is where we say goodbye Shaymin" said Tomo. But Shaymin didn't want to leave; it had started to like Tomo so much after all the times he had been kind to it. Shaymin flew onto Tomo's chest and knocked him down onto the ground. "What did you do that for?" asked Tomo. "It seems to be that Shaymin doesn't want to leave you Tomo;" said Ash "I call this a good chance for you to catch Shaymin". Tomo couldn't believe it; a legendary pokemon wanted to go with him. So Tomo took out a pokeball and caught Shaymin. Growlithe was happy for his friend because his wish of obtaining his own legendary pokemon came true.
With the mini adventure with Shaymin dealt with, the gang could get back on the road.
One day the gang were going to have a lunch break by a river in the mountains. Ash was collecting wood, Brock was setting up a fire place and his cooking pot, Dawn was chopping up vegetables and Tomo was setting out plates. But what they didn't know was trouble was happening up stream.
At a volcano a pokemon ranger named Ben was observing a wild Heatran. This Heatran was special because it could use the move eruption, and Heatran don't normally know that move. Ben's mission was to capture it with his Capture Styler so Heatran could be taken to a National park; a pokemon reserve where no people could capture it.
But unfortunately for Ben, Team Rocket was after Heatran too. "So that's the Heatran that knows eruption huh?" said Cassidy. "I wonder how it managed to know that move?" said Butch. "Oh who cares?" said Cassidy "what's important now is we capture it before that annoying pokemon ranger does. Butch have you got the pokemon ready?" "Of course" said Butch. Cassidy and Butch had water, ground and fighting type pokemon on them because they were Heatran's weaknesses. "Good, now let's go" said Cassidy.
Right now Ben was riding a wild Pidgeot he just captured to go after Heatran, who had just started walking away. But then a Machamp, Swampert and Rhyperior stopped Heatran in its tracks; the pokemon were Cassidy's and Butch's pokemon of course. Swampert used water gun, Machamp used rock smash and Rhyperior used hammer arm to attack Heatran. "Oh no Heatran is in trouble," said Ben "I've got to stop those pokemon". But before Ben could do anything, Rhyperior used stone edge to attack Pidgeot. Pidgeot flew out of the way, but Ben fell off and headed towards the stream below him. He quickly summoned a Feraligatr from his capture styler for help, and they went off down-stream.
Coincidentally Ben and Feraligatr ended up where Ash, Dawn, Brock and Tomo were. The gang noticed Ben on top of Feraligatr and helped him to shore at once. Ben quickly woke up and introduced himself to the gang at once. Ben was one of those people who were full of spirit and could recover quickly. "Your Feraligatr brought you here" said Brock. Ben thanked Feraligatr and it disappeared. Suddenly he noticed his capture styler was missing. "You're a pokemon ranger aren't you Ben?" asked Tomo. "That's right and I was on a mission to capture a Heatran".
"Heatran?" said Dawn. She looked at it on her pokedex: Heatran, the Lava Dome Pokémon. It dwells in volcanic caves. It digs in with its cross-shaped feet to crawl on ceilings and walls.
"Wow fancy a Heatran being over here" said Ash, remembering the Heatran they met before. Ben told the gang about Heatran being special and knowing the move eruption, and then he told them about Swampert, Machamp and Rhyperior attacking Heatran. "That sounds like that Heatran might be in danger" said Brock. "Yes and that's why I must complete my mission and take Heatran to the National park for safety," said Ben "as I've lost my capture styler, can I ask all of you for help?" "Of course" replied Ash. "I'd love to help a pokemon ranger" said Tomo. "I'd love to see this Heatran" said Brock. "Always happy to help" said Dawn. "Great, follow me everyone" said Ben, appreciating the help.
Meanwhile Butch and Cassidy were searching for Heatran again. While Ben had been going downstream, Heatran had managed to push back Rhyperior, Swampert and Machamp with its attacks flash cannon, eruption and earth powe, amd then he quickly ran away. "That Heatran was more powerful than we thought" said Butch. "All the more reason to capture it;" said Cassidy "Giovanni will become unstoppable with that pokemon". Just then Butch noticed something on the ground; it was Ben's capture styler. "Looks like that pokemon ranger lost his capture styler" he said. "Well this will make capturing Heatran easier for us;" said Cassidy "if that ranger doesn't have his capture thing, then he won't get in our way while we catch Heatran". "Yes you're right" agreed Butch. But they still needed to find Heatran first.
Back with Ben and the gang, they were walking up the area where Ben last saw Heatran. He kept on feeling the ground to check the temperature. As Heatran was the magma type pokemon, it was the type of pokemon that would go near lava. So Ben's plan was to search for the volcano's lava in case Heatran would be there. The group walked on and on, which seemed like for ages, until Ben finally said they were getting warmer. There was a cave that led to the inside of the mountain. They went inside the cave at once to see if Heatran was there. The guess turned out to be right because at the end of a tunnel there was a lake of lava and Heatran was walking up the walls. (Heatran have the abilities to walk up and down walls and walk along the ceilings) "We've found Heatran," said Dawn "but what are you going to do Ben?" "If I hadn't lost my capture stylist I would be able to capture Heatran" said Ben. "I take it you can't catch Heatran in a pokeball right?" asked Ash. "That's right;" said Ben "the rules are to only catch Heatran with the capture styler and it must be captured unharmed". "Then what should we do?" said Dawn.
Before anyone could think of something Machamp, Swampert and Rhyperior turned up. "They're the three pokemon who attacked Heatran before," said Ben "where did they come from?" A laughter interrupted Ben. "Thank you for leading us to Heatran" said Cassidy. She and Butch had been secretly following the group to look for Heatran. "Oh no it's you two again!" shouted Ash. "Nice you see you again kid" said Cassidy, sarcastically. "You know those people?" asked Ben. "Those two are from a group called Team Rocket;" said Brock "no doubt they are here to catch Heatran for their own evil reasons". "But of course;" said Cassidy "this Heatran would be an excellent member for Team Rocket don't you think?" "We don't think so!" shouted Dawn. Butch looked at Ben and revealed the capture styler he and Cassidy found earlier. "Since you don't have your capture styler pokemon ranger we won't have a problem here" Butch smirked. "My capture styler!" gasped Ben "you give that back to me right now!" "Not a chance kid" smirked Ben. "Swampert and Rhyperior attack Heatran now!" demanded Cassidy. Rhyperior fired rock blast and Swampert fired water gun at Heatran and Heatran got hit. "No!" shouted Ben.
Tomo sent out his Pidgeotto, Staravia, Charmeleon, Lileep and Anorith to battle. "You leave Heatran along now you bullies!" he shouted. He ordered his pokemon to attack Swampert, Machamp and Rhyperior at once. Ash explained to Ben that Tomo wishes to become a pokemon ranger. "Seeing Tomo trying to protect Heatran, I can see his desire" said Ben. Cassidy and Butch were not happy with this and they called out Drapion and Mismagius to help deal with the situation. "Urgh I need to get back my capture styler from Team Rocket now" said Ben. "Leave that to me" said Ash. He called Mothim and Staraptor and told them to get the capture styler back from Cassidy and Butch. Ben told them the thing in Butch's hand was the capture styler. Staraptor distracted Cassidy and Butch with air cutter and Mothim used string shot to take the capture styler back from Butch. "Hey!" shouted Ben. Mothim gave the capture styler to Ben at once. "Thanks Mothim and you too Ash" said Ben.
Suddenly there was a rumbling and a shake. Because of the pokemon fighting an avalanche was rocks were forming; it looked like a cave in. More trouble came because the bit of the wall Heatran was standing on was crumbling and it fell. Ben quickly summoned Feraligatr again and ordered it to use ice beam on the lava. The hot lava turned into a rocky ground and Heatran was saved when it landed on the ground. The avalanche started to get worse. Cassidy and Butch quickly returned their pokemon and ran away; this was obviously too dangerous for them to try and get Heatran, so they retreated. Ash and Tomo quickly returned their pokemon too.
Ben quickly went over to Heatran and told it he was going to take it to a national park where it will be safe. Heatran understood Ben and the gang were trying to help it earlier, so he agreed with the plan. Ben captured Heatran with his styler and then everyone quickly got out of the cave with Heatran. It was just in time too because the cave caved in as soon as the group got out. "Phew that was close" sighed Ash. Everyone agreed.
After escaping the cave with Heatran, Ben contacted headquarters to pick them up. Soon a helicopter arrived to take Ben and Heatran to the national park where Heatran will be safe. Ben thanked everyone for their help. "If it hadn't been for your guys I probably never have completed my mission," said Ben "and Tomo I'll tell headquarters about how you helped deal with Team Rocket and how you wish to become a pokemon ranger". "Wow, thank you Ben" smiled Tomo. So Ben and Heatran got into the helicopter and the helicopter took off. The gang waved till they couldn't see the helicopter anymore.
With that excitement over, the gang wondered what their next bit of excitement would be like.
I am so, so sorry I haven't updated for a few months. I have been job hunting you see. I know I said I was going to have Ash get Heatran, but I changed my mind and decided that Heatran wouldn't suit Ash or Tomo. I hope everyone likes how I had Ash bond with Arceus and how Tomo got Shaymin.
