Chapter 4: Setting off
The next morning the sun rose up in Vaniville Town and everybody was waking up for the day. There Grace was already up making breakfast for the day before calling Serena down to eat.
"Serena breakfast is ready!" Grace said calling from downstairs. Then she hear something she didn't expect. "I'm coming" Serena said while making her way downstairs. Grace was surprised to find her daughter already up and didn't have to send Fletchling to peck her awake. By the time Serena was in the kitchen,Grace found her standing at the doorway already dressed while holding two kinds of hats in each hand. She wore a black tank top with a white collar,black stockings,a red skirt,and finally black high tops with the pink colored poke ball logo on the sides. "Hey mom" Serena said which got Grace's attention. " Which one should I wear?" Serena said while holding both hats up high. One was a dark red hat with a pink ball of fluff on top while the other was a pink top hat with a black ribbon around the the top. Grace thought before making a choice. "I'd go with that." She pointed to the dark red hat and just like that Serena made her choice. "Ok this one then." She did the opposite and picked the pink hat instead." If you already knew what to pick,why did you ask?" Said Grace feeling slightly offended."Because whichever one you didn't pick is the better one that's why." Serena said while putting on the pink hat. She figured that when it comes to fashion,her mother always picks what she considered to be less fashionable,and so she picks the opposite of what she picks. They then sat down and started eating. A few moments later Grace then decided to asked.
"So what's the occasion?" She asked from across the kitchen table. Serena then responded "Mom, I decided that I'm going to Professor Sycamore's Lab and get my first Pokémon." She said. Grace was surprised by her daughter's gesture and then thought back to last night. "It's him,its Ash,Ash Ketchem" she remembered what Serena had said and wondered before asking.
"So,is this about that boy you knew from your childhood." She asked which Serena blushed red before."wha-no,no,no,no it's not about Ash." She lied,it was about him. "I can see you're blushing Serena so It is about him isn't it?" Grace said. Serena knew she couldn't win against her mother but then thought of an idea. First she took a deep breath before speaking"Actually mom I thought if I go on a journey that It might help me gain confidence and open doors to new opportunities." She said hoping her mother would buy it. "I'll go to Professor Sycamore and get my first Pokémon." She continue . "And who knows maybe I'll run into Ash and maybe he can help me." She said. That last part she was hoping to come true. She was hoping to see him again. Grace thought about this and thought this new journey would help Serena in many ways,but not before asking again.
"So,this isn't about this boy." Grace asked. "N-n-no it's not." Serena said nervously hoping her mother would let her go. "Alright you can go on your journey." Grace said,which caused Serena to hop off her seat and hug her mother tightly for letting her go. "But on one condition." Grace said. "What is it?" Serena asked. "You let me met my future son-in-law." Grace said knowing by Serena expression she really cared for this boy. Serena then blushed heavily by her mother's request and then Grace asked other question. "So tell me about this boy who stole your heart." Grace asked. Serena continue to blush but then calm down before speaking. She told her about how she and Ash met as children and that how she spend a month living with Ash and his mother while Grace was still racing in Kanto after summer camp had finished. They did everything together,they played together,ate together,help and supported each other,there was even one night when Serena had a terrible nightmare and woke up screaming loud enough for Ash to come barging in to see if she was ok. She then asked him if he can sleep with her so she wouldn't be alone which Ash said yes which made her heart skip a beat. There she then intertwine her hand with Ash's once he fell asleep and closed her eyes with a smile on her face. Grace was moved by this story,now she knew how this Ash kid was special to her daughter. "That was a very lovely story dear,now I really want to meet the boy who made my little girl feel special." Grace said "Well mom I gonna pack up and head out." Serena said before heading back upstairs. After finished packing she bid her mother farewell and Rhyhorn. "I'll miss you Serena" she said with a few tears in her eyes. "Don't worry mom I'll call every once in awhile," Serena said before running off. "Don't forget about our agreement." Grace said,trying to mess with her daughter one last time. Serena stumbled before saying"very funny,goodbye." Grace then thought "go find your lost love dear." She said while getting food for Rhyhorn to eating.
Meanwhile on Route 4 we find Ash,Drake,Clemont,and Bonnie walking towards Santalune City. From the lab Ash and Drake were already up and having breakfast with the professor until Clemont and Bonnie walked it. From there they met Drake,they were all struck to find out he was a champion back home. There Ash got his Kalos Pokedex and Froakie who wanted to join him on his journey. Drake then came back down after getting change in his new outfit,he wears a red t-shirt,above that was a black jacket with red patches on the shoulders,black jeans,and black and red running shoes similar to Ash's,he also carries a dark brown bag with a strap that goes around his shoulder to carry all his things,and gear. From there he contact the President of the Silph Co.,the company who made him the suit and the Staff,and he tells him about the suit and how it was damaged during a skirmish. He then sends the suit back using the Teleporter,but the President then sends him something called the Pokéwatch DX. From there it was a black digital watch the Drake can wear around his wrist. Aside from telling time it can also set up a holographic screen in front of the wearer to scan Pokémon for information like a normal Pokédex,it can also be used to make calls,scan habitats,has a worldwide map of every region to not get lost,and has apps that a poketch commonly has. Drake was mesmerized by this but the President insisted for his valiant service to Kanto. After saying goodbye to the professor Ash,Drake,Clemont,and Bonnie made their way to the local Pokémon Center for Ash to register for the Kalos league. When they got there,and Ash was registering,people and trainers notice them as the two trainers from last night. Everyone thanked them for what they did which both brothers felt much obliged to accept even though neither one of them both aren't one for praisement,some that were female tried to get their numbers but both lied about having a phone especially Drake who just got a new gadget to make calls on. After leaving the Pokémon Center they figured they need to take Route 4 to get to Santalune City. Before they can continue however Clemont and Bonnie asked the both of them if they can come along,hoping to learn more from both brothers,which neither one had a problem and said yes.
Now back to where we left off.
"Wow I can't believe that one of the biggest technology companies in the world gave you these things Drake." Clemont said while drooling over his Staff and Pokéwatch. "I know,they told me the Staff was made out of reinforced steel,but somehow that even beyond myself to understand,that they mad scienced the metal to make it lighter then it appears to be. That why I can wielded it to the best of my abilities without struggling over weight. Plus it can break off into two pieces by turning it Clockwise or attached by a special steel fiber composite cable by turning it Counter-Clockwise,and beside I think of the Staff as a muti purpose tool then a weapon. "Whatever about that sciency stuff, I'm still surprised that you're a champion." Bonnie said all the sudden. Drake chuckled before saying "thanks Bonnie." and kept on going. Meanwhile a small orange Pokémon with medium ears and whiskers coming out its cheeks was trying to get a berry from a berry tree up high. As it tried to pull it out,the group was walking below. It then pulled too hard and the berry then slip off its paws and fell down below,hitting Bonnie in the head. Everyone then approach where the berry landed until a sudden jolt send to berry hurling towards Bonnie but Drake caught it in mid air. From there the small Pokémon then revealed from its hiding sport to get its lunch until it was confronted by Pikachu. From there everyone stare at them while both Pokémon were doing something with their cheeks.
"Huh maybe it wanted the berry?" Bonnie said until Clemont said "They're electric types so they can communicate with electricity." Meanwhile Ash and Drake scan the Pokémon with their devices.
Dedenne:the Antenna Pokémon. Dedenne can send electrical waves to other Dedenne to communicate via its antenna like whiskers.
"Wow so it's a Dedenne." Ash said."aww it so cute." Bonnie fangirled over it. Meanwhile Pikachu and and Dedenne were still communicating via electricity. "Clemont can you catch Dedenne for me?" Bonnie said."What do mean by that Bonnie?" Drake asked. "I mean Clemont can catch it for me to take care of until I'm old enough to become a trainer." Bonnie explained "uhhh...well?" Clemont said unable to decide. "Please Clemont,pretty please" Bonnie begged with puppy dog eyes. "Do It Clemont,I can help you if you want." Ash said. "Alright I'll do it" Clemont finally said,causing Bonnie to jump in joy about this decision.
"Here Bonnie you can use this to lure Dedenne." Drake said as he gives Bonnie the berry from earlier. Bonnie then offers the berry to Dedenne while Clemont gets a Poké ball ready. Suddenly something small and fast snatch the berry from Bonnie's hand. It then lands on a tree branch,staring at the group while Ash and Drake scan it.
"Fletchling,the tiny robin Pokémon, Despite the beauty of its lilting voice,its merciless to intruders that enter its territory."
"huh cool Pokémon." Both brothers said,then looked at each other with the same idea. "Are you thinking about catching it Ash?" Drake asked "Well yeah,why? Are you thinking the same thing." Ash said,Drake nodded in response but then decided the best thing for Ash. "Well me being the older,more generous brother. You can take this one." Said Drake. "Hey I can be generous too!" Ash said. "True, but I can be a bit more,so are you gonna catch it or not?" Drake said, Ash nodded and summon Froakie to battle. Froakie then saw tears in Bonnie's eyes so it must have thought Fletchling had done something to her. Before they could start however,they turn back to see Dedenne crying,probably from having its berry stolen and eaten. It then ran away,much to Bonnie's dismay leaving her nearly crying. Like that Froakie had enough.
"Alright Froakie use-" but before Ash could finish the command,Froakie had already launched a Water Pulse towards Fletchling but since Fletchling a flying type it has more mobility in the air. "Froakie wait!" Ash said but the frog Pokémon didn't listen as it tried to use a Bubble attack but with no success after Fletchling used Double Team then used Peck to hit Froakie,hitting its mark. "Froakie wait up,we need a plan first." Ash said but still Froakie didn't listen as it went for another direct assault with Water Pulse which Fletchling had no problem out maneuvering then followed by Razor Wind to attack. The Razor Wind sent Froakie hurling towards a tree but Ash caught him while the force and speed caused Ash to hit his arm on the tree instead leaving a fresh bruise on it.
"Ash are you ok?" Asked Drake. "Yeah but it's Froakie I'm worried about." Ash said,while Froakie was surprised by this. He thought Ash would yell at him for his disobedience,after all every other trainer Froakie had did that after refusing an order. But Ash was different rather then putting him down,he was more concerned if he was ok. "Froakie are you ok?" Ash asked,Froakie nodded and noticed the bruise on his arm and immediately felt terrible his trainer got hurt because of him.
"Fro,Fro?" Froakie asked "He said are you ok because he noticed the bruise." Drake said. "Oh I'm fine Froakie." Ash said. "Fro,kie,kie,Fro!" Froakie said. "Froakie says he's sorry that you got hurt." Drake said. "Don't worry about it Froakie" Ash said "Fro,Froakie,kie" it said "He said he did what he did because he saw Bonnie sad because of Fletchling." Drake said. Ash now understood why Froakie attacked without being told. He was try to get back at Fletchling for hurting Bonnie. "It's ok, I understand Froakie,but if you want to get at Fletchling we'll do it together ok?" Ash said while Froakie nodded and accepted his trainer's help. "Well It may not matter because Fletchling's gone." Bonnie said. While Clemont had a brainstorm.
" Ha,you leave that to me. The future is now thanks to science CLEMONTIC GEAR on. May I present the Bird Pokémon Luring Machine." Clemont presented a record player with dignity.
"That's a dumb name." Bonnie said while couldn't believing another one of her brother's lack of name creatively. "It is quite a mouthful." Drake said.
"Ha believe me when this device emulates a magnetic substance that controls a flying types homing instinct via sound waves of a certain frequency." Clemont explained while Ash and Bonnie looked dumbfounded while Drake understood what he meant. "You mean kinda like how a magnet attracts metal." Drake said,while Ash and Bonnie caught on.
"Exactly my champion friend now here we go,power on." Clemont then crank up the record player,there Fletchling sat on a branch watching what's happening. "There it is" Bonnie said. "Ha I told you." Clemont said while still cranking the device. But there Fletchling stayed there looking unscathed while something in the trees surrounded the group. "Uhh Clemont I think you should stop." Ash said nervously. "Clemont?". Said Bonnie. "Huh it should be working." Clemont said looking abit confused. There a hive of Beedrill came out of the shadows.
"Beedrill!" Said Drake. "THEY WERE ATTRACTED BY IT?!" Clemont said now realizing his mistake.
"RUNN" said Ash. There everyone started running down the path while Clemont was still cranking the machine. "The frequency I must've picked was too low and a higher frequency would've worked on bird Pokémon." Clemont said while still cranking the machine. He then started to crank faster which attracted the Beedrill a lot more.
"Clemont Stop!" Drake yelled
"You're making the Beedrill madder than before!" Ash yelled
"I'm sure I can still attract the bird Pokémon if I crank it up full blast,here goes!" Clemont said.
Boom
The blast sent all the Beedrill away while sending the group into a canyon. "*grunt* is everybody ok?" Drake asked while recovering. Everyone was dirty and cover in dirt,regardless everyone nodded yes at Drake's question.
"Wow Clemont I'm impressed that your device worked." Drake said. "Yeah just not in the way it was supposed to." Clemont said with his head hung low. "Aw come on I'm impressed how it attracted all those Beedrill,you should be proud." Ash said happily. "Aww thanks you guys." Clemont.
Meanwhile the group looked up to see Fletchling circling around laughing at them. "Hey it's laughing at us." Bonnie said. "Well this time I gonna catch it." Ash said with confidence along with Froakie. "Alright you ready Froakie?" Froakie nodded and ready for battle.
"Froakie use Water Pulse" Froakie launched the attack but Froakie outmaneuver it and use Peck to hit him and succeeded. "Alright try to restrain his movement." Ash thought "Alright use your frubbles to hit it." Ash said. Froakie then tried to hit Fletchling with its frubbles but it kept dodging. "Quick use the canyon walls to keep up with it." Ash said Froakie then hopped across the canyon wall to keep up and then came up with an idea. While Fletchling wasn't looking Froakie set up a decoy behind a pillar. Fletchling thought he saw Froakie hiding behind the pillar. It took the bait and used Peck on the frubble decoy and felt sticky. "Quick use water pulse from above." Ash took the chance and Froakie fired at Fletchling,hitting it. "Alright end this with Pound." Froakie's paw glowed white and hit the downed bird Pokémon from above. There,Fletchling was too hurt to do anything,there Ash prepared a Poké ball. "Alright go Poké ball." Ash threw the ball and hit Fletchling,sending him in. The ball shaked and shaked in it's place until
*ding*
Ash then picked up the poke ball and released Fletchling. "Welcome to the family Fletchling." Ash said,which Fletchling chipped saying thank you. "And Fletchling the next time you're hungry tell me because stealing food from others is very bad" Bonnie said scorning Fletchling which he apologized for. "It's ok Fletchling i forgive you. Bonnie said. "Here you go Fletchling,Froakie." Ash handing each of them an Oran berry. "Alright let's getting moving before it gets dark." Drake said. But before they can move on a small Pokémon approached them.
"Hey is that the Dedenne from before?" Said Ash. It then approach Bonnie and nuzzles her leg. "Awww how cute." Bonnie said before picking it up. She then nuzzled it which caused it to discharge electricity from its cheeks,shocking her. "Huh Dedenne can use Nuzzle,who knew." Clemont said. "Wow that was shocking." Bonnie said while feeling paralyzed. "Do you want one Dedenne.? Ash offered it an Oran berry. Which Dedenne happily accepted. After it finished it went to Clemont and spoke to him. "She said she wants to come with you Clemont." Drake said. "Really you do Dedenne?" Clemont said which Dedenne nodded. "Alright Poke ball go." Clemont threw the poke ball and hit Dedenne sucking it in. It ding with almost no resistance and Clemont let Dedenne out. "Can I can take care of it Clemont,please?" Bonnie asked which Clemont nodded. Then Bonnie took Dedenne and put her in her bag. From there they continue to Santalune City. They then got there in the afternoon but the gym was already closed so they decided to stay at the local Pokémon Center.
Meanwhile Professor Sycamore and his assistants continue to clean up the aftermath in the lab when someone walked in.
"Hello is Professor Sycamore around?" Serena asked,there The professor appears while reading a book on the steps.
"that's me I'm here." The professor said
"Hello there I'm Serena Yvonne." Serena introduced.
"I bet you're here to become a Pokémon trainer." The professor said, which Serena nodded.
"Also I saw two trainers on the news the other night. The reports are all about how they defected a giant robot and saved a Garchomp." Serena said.
"Oh you mean Ash and Drake?"
"Ash I knew it was you. Huh Drake? I remember Ash telling me about an older brother who was already on a journey back when we were younger. Guess that must be him.
"I'm afraid they already left. They said they were heading to Santalune City.
"Santalune City? Ok professor can I choose a Pokémon?"
"Very well,everyone come out everyone." From there Sophie and three Pokémon came out. One was a yellow fox with patches of red fur on the tip of its tail and ears. One was a brown nut with claws on his feet and green on his head. The last one was a blue frog which was a Froakie. This are the three Pokémon new trainers can choose. Fennekin,Chespin,and Froakie. Which one will you choose as your partner. Serena looked at all three but decided long before. "They're all great but you see I've already make my choice before I left home. She then approach Fennekin and said."Fennekin I pick you,I'm Serena." Fennekin saw this and barked happily that she was finally picked. Now take these,your Pokedex and Poké balls. The professor gave her.
Serena then took them and thanked the professor. "Ok professor thank you for everything." The professor nodded and Serena headed off to Santalune City. It was getting late and Serena and Fennekin were in Santalune Forrest. Both felt loss and try to get directions from a person only to turn out to be a Vespiquen. It attacked Serena but Fennekin used to cancel her attack scaring it away. From there Nurse Joy found them and directed them them to the Pokémon Center nearby. There they had dinner and booked a room for the night. In bed she was thinking about how Ash would react to seeing her after all these years. "I'm coming Ash." She thought before going to sleeping.
That took awhile. Well Serena will be reunited with Ash in the next chapter. Like and comment, thanks guys this is Paradox signing off.
