"One's destination is never a place but a new way of seeing things"-Henry Miller
Chapter 2:New Region,New Adventures
The Kalos Region,like all the others regions a place that demonstrates the feelings and bonds between people and Pokémon. When people smile,you see Pokémon smiling along with you,and when Pokémon cry,you'll find yourself crying along with them. In the southeastern part of Kalos in the town of Vaniville a young woman is currently sleeping unknowingly how things are about to change.
A small bird Pokémon with grayish-purple feathers flies a white house with a orangish-red roof on top. It files to an open window that leads to a kitchen. Inside was a woman in her early thirties with dark brown hair and blue eyes she wearing a black t-shirt,above that was a tracksuit with the shirt tied around her waist. She was busy making breakfast for the day then she spoke to the little bird Pokémon.
"Fletchling wake up Serena for me won't you?" Said the woman, Fletchling tilt it's head sideways,knowing where this is going to lead.
"Of course I'd already tried once,but as usual once is never enough." Said the woman while setting down a stack of pancakes. Fletchling understood and flew off to his trainer's daughter's room. Fletchling understood this all to well. It's bad enough that his trainer's daughter sleeps late at night but she tries to make the days shorter by sleeping in. Fletchling then approach a slightly open door and squeeze himself inside. The room was all pink with plush dolls all over the room. Fletchling then flies over and lands right in front of the girl's face. It's beak then glowed white,it raise its head up high and came back down with great force.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The girl screamed out loud which was enough to make her fall out of bed.
Fletchling then picks up one of the plush doll and drops it on the girl's head
"GRRRR I told you a million times not wake me up like that!" The girl yelled. Fletchling then tilt its head sideways,pretending to be clueless about the whole thing. The girl then lunge herself towards the bird Pokémon,trying to catch it but failed when it flew overhead. It then lands on her head and the girl then hears her mother calling her.
"Serena breakfast is ready" said Grace calling from downstairs. Serena didn't respond,instead she went into her closet to look for a nice pair of sweatpants to wear.
"Serena come on,your breakfast is getting cold."said Grace while getting a stack of pancakes ready.
"Coming"
Serena was just a normal sixteen year old girl who had no interest in adventure. Like her mother she has blue eyes,has honey-colored hair that goes to her waist. Even through she was sixteen she had no interest in going on a journey when she turn ten. She been closed off about it ever since she was young. She could remember how much trouble she had making friends so she was an outcast,even today. But there was one day she could remember very well. Afterwards she felt more close off then before.
Serena then headed downstairs to the kitchen and sat at the kitchen table.
"Here you go dear." Grace said while handing her a plate of bacon and eggs. On other plate was a three stack pancake platter on the table. Serena then started eating with her mother sitting across from her. After a few minutes her mother spoke up.
"Hurry and finish up you got Rhyhorn Race practice after breakfast."Grace said while getting a harness from the closet.
"Do I have to?! You know I don't enjoy being thrown around and buck off every time I get on Rhyhorn!" Serena said,
"Yes you must,practice makes perfect if you want to be a great Rhyhorn Racer like me,now go get change and meet me out front." Grace said with a stern voice,know how her daughter would react like.
"ok,fine" Serena then when back to her room and got change into a pink tracksuit with hearts on the waist. Serena always felt agitated around this time of day. Her mother was a professional Rhyhorn Racer in her day ,now retired and now she wishes for her daughter to follow in her footsteps much to her daughter's dismays.
Serena then heads outside to find her mother and Rhyhorn all ready. They head off to an open field perfect for practice.
"Ok Serena now remember be one with Rhyhorn" said Grace,trying to motivate her daughter.
"Righhht" Serena said tirelessly. She knew she can't win against her mother.
"Uhhh Not Again" she moaned out as she mounted on Rhyhorn.
Meanwhile a plane begins to draw close to its destination. On board was Ash,his trusty partner Pikachu,and his friend Alexa. Ash looks out his window and sees all sorts of water Pokémon dancing and riding the waves of the sea.
"Wow Pikachu come take a look!" Said Ash
"Pi Pikachu!" Pikachu said,looking as amused as his trainer.
"Wow you and Pikachu are sure excited Ash." Said Alexa,looking at the overexcited teen.
"Are you kidding?! A new region means new challenges to face and new Pokémon to see. Right Pikachu?" Said Ash,Pikachu nodded in agreement. Suddenly the intercom came on.
"This is your captain speaking, please fasten your seatbelt and return your seats to the upright position. The weather in Lumiose City is currently sunny with a fresh 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Please relax as we are beginning our descent. After ten minutes the plane finally landed and everyone was getting ready to get off.
"We now arrived in Lumiose City,please remember to take all carry-on luggage you brought along with you. Thank you for flying Kanto Airlines and have a great day." Said the captain
When Ash and Pikachu step outside,they took in a deep breath in and spoke
"HEYYY KALOS REGION ASH KETCHUM FROM PALLET TOWN IS FINALLY HERE!,PI PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu shouted out loud enough for everyone for everyone to hear.
"What's with all the yelling?" Alexa asked
"just saying hello to the Kalos Rigion and as soon as I walk down will be my first to the Kalos League. Ash said as he walks ahead but wasn't looking where he's going.
"woah ash look-!" Alexa said
"WOAH AH AHHHHHH AHHHH" thud,Pikachu jumped off at the last minute before his trainer fell
"out"
"Ash are you ok?" Said Alexa
"ohhhh yeah I'm ok" ash said with swirls in his eyes,Pikachu is nudging him to see if he was ok.
"You know you have a bad relationship when it comes to stairs." Alexa said,concern about Ash's well being.
"You could say that again." Said Ash,feeling a bit embarrassed. Suddenly a small pink Pokémon was flying right above them.
"wow hey Alexa what kind of Pokémon is that?" Asked Ash
"Oh that is a Spritzee" said Alexa. "Hey Ash I'm gonna head inside to make a call meet me when you're done ok?.
"got it"
As Ash was done,he was about to head inside when a shadow looms over them and jumps over them and land right behind before heading off. Ash and Pikachu were astonished by what they just saw. It all happen fast but Ash and Pikachu knew what they saw was a Pokémon a very similar one at that but different. They then head towards the entrance unknowingly to them about three other figures watching them.
When they headed inside they found Alexa already waited for them.
"Hey Alexa you won't believe what I saw."
"Really what?"
"a Pokémon that incredibly different in physical features that shows that it has a lot of strength and power." Ash said with excitement.
"Sounds interesting but on other thing remember how I told you that my younger sister is a gym leader while on the plane." Said Alexa
"Yeah then I said would challenge her for a gym badge." Ash replied with some concern
"Well you see"
"What Alexa?"
"My sister just told me that she's currently away from her gym at the moment. Alexa said nervously,knowing how Ash would react.
"WHAT AWW MAN" Ash said,both he and Pikachu looking down because they were craving for a good battle.
"I'm sorry Ash" Alexa apologized,she knows how Ash and his Pokémon are always ready to battle
"it's ok,I guess me and Pikachu can explore Lumiose City for awhile until your sister comes back." Ash said
"Actually there's is another gym here in Lumiose City. You can challenge this one for their badge instead." Said Alexa
"That great thanks Alexa." Said Ash as they head outside into the big city.
"Well Ash I guess this is where we go our separate ways,I'll meet you down the road ok. Said Alexa
"Got it I'll see you soon Alexa bye" said Ash as headed off into the city.
"Good luck Ash" Alexa yelled out
"He sure is full of energy go get them Ash." Alexa thought to herself.
As Ash and Pikachu travel through the city they various restaurants,clothing stores,services and especially more Pokémon they have never seen before. After awhile they were standing in front of a huge structure called Prism Tower. Inside would be the first gym they would challenge since arriving in Kalos. As they went inside a young boy and a much younger girl spotted them going inside. Ash and Pikachu then approach a room with what appears to be power generators. As they came to the door a screen lit up and spoke.
"Welcome to the Lumiose Gym" said the screen
"I'm Ash Ketchem from Pallet Town,and I like to have a gym battle please. Ash replied
"How many badges do you have?"
"badges? Well this is the first gym we're challenging so we don't have any? Ash answered truthfully.
"You have none?! One even a single badge?! In order to challenge the Lumiose Gym you must have required at least four gym badges. After that two coils appeared from the ceiling with electricity
"please try again later"
"huh,pika?, wai-wait a minute" Ash said nervously but then the coils shot electricity at them,shocking them
"AHHHHH AHHHH" Ash yell out as he felt electricity course through his body. Then stop until a trap door open right underneath the duo.
"AHHHHHH,PIKKAAAA" Ash and Pikachu yell out while sliding down the trap door until it led to outside of Prism Tower. From there they began to free fall to the ground. Their screams attracted the boy and girl from before.
"Oh no" the boy said while the girl gasped.
"I got to catch that boy" said the boy "I'll get Pikachu" said the girl while both are running to save them.
" All right Activate" said the boy as he threw his backpack right to under Ash was falling. It then activated into an airbag which Ash landed on safely. The little girl wound up catching Pikachu in her arms,saving him.
"woah are you ok?" asked the boy
"yeah I'm ok thanks for the assist." Ash thanked
"Wow Clemont look a Pikachu and what a cutie." The girl said with excitement while hugging the mouse Pokémon,unknowingly she was hugging him too tight and Pikachu didn't enjoy that as it charge up electricity from its cheeks and unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt,shocking everyone. From afar a small blue Pokémon wearing a mask witness the whole thing.
"uhh is everyone ok?" Ash asked which everyone nodded yes while the little girl started laughing.
"ughh Bonnie you apologize right now!" Said the boy with a serious tone in his voice.
"ughhh I only wanted to hug Pikachu because it was so cute!" The girl said with the same tone as her boy next to her.
Then the boy tried a different approach "But did Pikachu like it?" The boy said. The girl looks towards Pikachu who had an upset look on its face,telling her that Pikachu didn't appreciate that at all,which caused the little girl to turn sad.
"You're right I'm sorry for the trouble I've cause." The girl said to Ash and Pikachu.
"No biggie,Pikachu and I are ok that's what matters right buddy? Pikachu responded in agreement which both then had a laugh about it.
The boy and the girl look to each other happily that all is forgiven while the boy look back Ash and Pikachu and thought "Well they sure do have a strong bond with each other and they both seem like nice people."
They then head to a park in another part of the city,there they introduced themselves. "Well I'm Clemont and this is my little sister Bonnie." The boy introduce now known to be Clemont. "Nice to meet you both" Bonnie said
"It's nice to meet you both I'm Ash Ketchem from Pallet Town in Kanto and this is Pikachu." Pikachu responded saying hello
"Wow Kanto that pretty far away from here." Clemont said
"Yea,me and Pikachu are on a journey so that I can become a Pokémon Master." Ash replied
"wow you guys sound like you been to a lot of other places beside Kalos" Bonnie said look mesmerized at the two.
"You have to forgive my sister,she can get overexcited about someone who has a Pokémon." Said Clemont,causing Bonnie to put on a pouty face.
"it's ok i can relate" Ash said while chuckling "I've actually been to five other regions before coming here."
"wow five?! Man I wish I was already on a journey." Bonnie said
"I have to agree with her,five regions that explains why your Pikachu sits on your shoulder since you two trust each other for that long." Clemons said
"Actually Pikachu doesn't enjoy being in its pokeball,that's why he enjoy traveling on my shoulder.
"really wow I never heard of that before." Bonnie said while Clemont thought"wow they really do exhibit a strong bond,question is how strong?"
Ash sigh"well it's too bad that I can't challenge the Lumiose gym."
"Yea the gym requires the challenger to have at least four gym badges." Said Clemont with some stern in his voice,but Ash didn't notice.
"If you asked me that's a pretty weird rule."
"The gym leader is actually this super duper strong person." Said Bonnie
"Well if that's the case could I challenge you to battle Clemont? Ash asked
"uhh are you sure Ash?
"yes,if I can't have a gym battle,I'd be honored to have my first battle in Kalos against you. Ash insisted
"alright but watch out." Clemont smirk back hoping to give Ash a run for his money.
(Ash vs. Clemont: 1 on 1)
On the battlefield both trainers are on each end looking towards the other.
"Alright lets go Bunnelby" Clemont calls and comes out the poke ball was a grey rabbit Pokémon with large ears while parts of brown are on the top part of each ear.
Ash then called out his Pokémon "alright Pikachu let's do this." Pikachu nodded and got right on the battle field. Bonnie then called out
"Alright battle begin!"
"alright pikachu let's start off with quick attack" Pikachu's body glowed white and charge towards Bunnelby. "Bunnelby dodge it." Bunnelby then jumps to the side avoiding Pikachu.
"Alright use mud shot" Bunnelby then charged up then fired several balls of mud towards Pikachu. "Quick use quick attack to dodge" Pikachu then charged up then runs forward with lightning speed while avoiding all the mud shots while Bunnelby was left exposed which Pikachu then hit Bunnelby causing damage.
"Are you alright Bunnelby?" Bunnelby nodded yes "alright use dig" Bunnelby then burrow into the ground. "Alright Pikachu use your senses to see where Bunnelby might come from" Pikachu then use its ears to sense vibrations from the ground. When a few rocks began to rumble Pikachu reacted."Quick iron tail now" just like that Bunnelby tried to attack from behind but Pikachu then spin to the side while hitting Bunnelby from behind with iron tail.
The attack sent Bunnelby forward and landed at Clemont's feet."Uhh Bunnelby you ok? Bunnelby struggled at first be nodded yes."Well you battle well Ash."Clemont said. "Trust me haven't seen anything yet"Ash replied. "Alright use double slap" Bunnelby's ears charged up and lunge towards Pikachu "Pikachu use iron tail once more" Pikachu's tail charged up and lunges to his opponent. Both Pokémon traded blow for blow counter each other in strength. Pikachu then tries to attack overhead but Bunnelby wound up catching it with its ears.
"Ha gotcha" Clemont smirk. "No got you" Ash said with an even bigger smirk.
"Huh" Clemont said
"Pikachu electro ball" Pikachu then charge up a sphere of electricity until it exploded in Bunnelby's face. The smoke cleared up which shows Pikachu still standing and Bunnelby fainted.
"You did good Bunnelby get a good rest" Clemont then return Bunnelby into its poke ball.
"wow you really had me beat Ash" Clemont said while shaking Ash's hand.
"thanks Clemont you still gave me a great battle though." Ash replied
Suddenly a cube was thrown towards Pikachu but Pikachu reacted quick enough to get away. "Alright who did that?!" Ash replied angrily. Then three figures appeared from the steps up above
"Oh no not you." Ash replied annoyed,knowing who they are
"ha prepare for trouble our beloved twerp"
"and make it doub-"
"what are you guys doing here!" Ash said angrily
"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT OUR BELOVED MOTTO TWERP!" the trio yelled out
"Sure doesn't answer my question" ash said nervously
"look we'll skip the boring part and go right for the fun as we want that Pikachu. Said the middle figure what look to be a talking meowth.
"So you guys are part of that small band of loyalists of team rocket that my brother has talked about." Ash said
"We swore our loyal to team rocket and to Giovanni" the male said
"Team rocket is finished,your boss is in jail." Ash spat out
" Ever since you and the older twerp put him there,we'll get revenge by taking Pikachu" the female said
"ha, the only you're getting is a blast off" Ash smirk "Pikachu thunderbolt" Pikachu charged up and fire towards the trio.
"Wobbuffet go" then a blue Pokémon stood right in front and glowed,and wound up reflecting the thunderbolt back. As it was about to strike Pikachu a small blue Pokémon got right in front of him,getting hit by the thunderbolt in its place
"huh" said everyone, when the smoke disappeared it revealed a small blue frog Pokémon. "What's that" said Ash. "Ohh that's a Froakie" replied Clemont
"Froa,kie!" Froakie then jump high and threw a white projectile from it's back towards the trio.
"Wobbuffet go" Wobbuffet glowed again but somehow still struck along with the other three "uhhh what is this stuff!" Said the lady "I don't know but it's very sticky" said the man.
Seeing as they are immobilized Ash then took the chance. "Alright Pikachu use Thunderbolt" Pikachu then charged up and fired towards the trio,shocking them and make them take off
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN,Wobbuffet." Said the four while blast off into the sky leaving behind a twinkle.
"That got them" said Clemont. "For now if I know them they'll be back." Ash replied.
"But how do you kn-" Clemont said before being cut off by a Pokémon cry. They then look to see Froakie in pain.
"oh no Froakie!" Ash said while carrying the frog Pokémon in his arms. "We got to get help. Clemont where's the nearest Pokémon Center."
"It too far away Ash but the Sycamore Pokémon Lab is close come on!" Clemont said
They then rush to the Sycamore Pokémon Lab to help Froakie.
"Hang in there Froakie we'll save you." Ash said in his head. "Froakie" it said weakly
