Chapter 4 The Call for Adventure.
Sonic kept trying to use Flamethrower at full power but he keeps failing to keep the strength up along with failing to keep the stream up. Sonic was able to actually keep the attack to last for a long time, but the attack was not full power outside the first few seconds of the attack. So Sonic needed to keep the power of his attack at max for longer until that is no longer an issue.
"You are doing well Charizard. Likely take a bit more before you be able to do only full power." Said Infernape to Charizard as the two shakes using a bit of their strength to test the other's strength. These two bonded due to both having shit starting trainers before Ash and have respect for one another for their strength, "Yeah thanks Infernape." Infernape said no problem as Infernaoe focus on learning new punches like Fire and Thunder Punch leaving Sonic to keep getting better at his Flamethrower attack. Meanwhile, other Pokemon were having fights to train each other. While they were doing that, Ash was fishing trying to catch a good aquatic Pokemon for his arsenal. Some Pokemon Ash would like to have a Tentacool so he can a Tentacruel which be a fast wall for his team. Seeing how strong Misty's Starmie was he would not mind having one to his team, especially with all the types of moves he could teach it to cover many types. The last Pokemon Ash had considered was Carvanha due to one of the abilities it can learn which was Speed Boost that increases their speed over time to a certain level.
Ash had caught none of those yet with Oak's fishing rode. He only got Magikarp which he uses them as punching bags with Oshawott, Gible, and Snivy in that order for the three he reeled in so far. Fourth time is the charm Ash said and be the last he will do for today since he did not want to be doing this forever. After a few minutes of nothing, he felt something catch the fishing hook and it was a fighter. Ash starts reeling it in with all his might, fighting against his catch. After swinging the rod back and reeling at his maximum speed, the fish surface and form water around itself so it can swim in the air and do battle on the surface. Clearly, this Pokemon was smarter than the average Magikarp. Ash turned to the fish and gasp noticing the Pokemon was a Carvanha! Ash pulls his Pokedex to get some info on this Dark Water-type Pokemon,
"Carvanha the Savage Pokemon, Gender Male and has the ability Speed boost. Carvanha's strongly developed jaws and its sharply pointed fangs pack the destructive power to rip out boat hulls. Many boats have been attacked and sunk by this Pokémon. If anything invades Carvanha's territory, it will swarm and tear at the intruder with its pointed fangs. On its own, however, this Pokémon turns suddenly timid. Moves this Pokemon knows is Bite, Aqua Jet, Payback, and Scary Face." the Pokedex said to Ash. Ash put the Pokedex away and thinks what Pokemon he wants to use against this carnivore of the sea.
"Alright Bulbusaur why not you teach this hungry fish some manners." Bulbasaur ran to Ash side and was ready to fight Carvanha. Carvanha blasts towards Bulbasaur by using Aqua Jet. ash command Bulbasaur to use Body Slam. Bulbasaur charge at the charging Carvanha and both collide canceling each other out and knocking both back a few feets away from each other. Carvanha decides to swim in his self-made sphere of water to Bulbasaur, "Use Magical Leaf Bulbasaur." from the top of the bulb on his back green energy form they're and from it came green razor leaf flying towards Carvanha The leaves slash the sides of Carvanha, doing nice damage to him but did not stop his charging attack. He got close and bit on Bulbasaur and did nice damage to the Kanto starter.
"Bulbasaur use Giga Drain." from the tip of Bulbasaur's bulb green energy tendrils wrap around Carvanha and start to drain energy from Carvanha to store energy in his bulb. Carvanha broke free from the tendrils and blast away and out of Bulbasaur's range. Bulbasaur was about to use the energy to heal him but Ash stops him, "Use that energy to charge up Solar beam." Bulbasaur did not argue with Ash as it now starts to absorb solar energy from the sun building the energy in his bulb and waiting for it to be completed and when the right time to fire. Carvanha still was a young Pokemon who did not notice what attack Bulbasaur was doing and decide to charge in with another Aqua Jet as now its speed increase greatly. He was like a rocket blasting off at Bulbasaur ready to run him over. The wiser grass Pokemon waited until Carvanha was closer before backflipping over Carvanha with his bulb aiming right down on him,
"FIRE!" Ash cried as his Pokemon hit Carvanha on the back with a powerful beam of solar energy. The attack causes a huge explosion. And once the dust clear and Bulbasaur was back on solid ground it was clear Carvanha was badly hurt but not out. Ash smiles grabbing one of his last Poke Balls as he tosses it right at the fish from the Hoenn region. The ball hit him and consume him inside its metal casing. The metal sphere shook three times before clicking to confirm that Ash caught a Carvanha. Ash smile picking it up and saying to Carvanha Poke Ball, "Once I heal you up and start training you." as he put the ball on his belt and prepare to leave,
"HEY KID!" Ash turn and so did a lot of Ash's Pokemon to a fisherman running to him, "I saw your match with that Carvanha and wanted to congratulate you." Ash smile at the Fisher Man, "thanks. Say you want to have a battle?" the Fisherman smirk and said sure so Ash and Fisher Man found an area to do battle at. "Alright, Ash lets do this go Jellicent." So the fishing guy summons the blue ghostly jellyfish Pokemon to the field. Ash smirk and call Scraggy to the field. The Unova punk Pokemon was ready to do battle with the jellyfish. Ash commands Scraggy to use Foul Play. as its head pulse with dark purple energy as he slams into Jellicent doing serious damage to the phantom Jellyfish,
"Jellicent use Dazzling Gleam." energy glow around Jellicent which hit Scraggy doing massive damage to him. But Ash knew Scraggy a will power that few can match. He commands to use Foul Play once more and smash his head into Jellicent even harder stunning the Jellicent for a moment, giving Scraggy enough time to raise his fist as lightning pulse around it which caught Ash and everyone off guard. "NO WAY! That's a Thunder Punch." Fishermen gulp and said, "Use dazzling Gleam once more." Scraggy strike down with his Thunder Punch as he got hit by Jellicent's Dazzling Gleam causing a huge explosion. When the dust was clear both Pokemons were out cold from the other's attack.
"Good job Scraggy enjoy a good rest," Ash said as he returned Scraggy to his Poke Ball and fishermen did the same with his own Pokemon. Now it was round 2 for both trainers. Fishermen decide to go to his trusty Ludicolo. The Mexican grass water Pokemon appeared dancing his dance. Ash knew who to call and it was Braviary. So the mighty aerial fighter of the Unova region. Ash got this Braviary as a Rufflet after he left his Unfezant with Skyla and her Unfezant to live happily together, so Ash needed a new bird to replace her role for his team in Unova. Shortly after Pikachu was challenged by the Rufflet he later caught to prove he was strong, but he lost to Pikachu. When the team was about to leave the forest he lived in, he attacks Pikachu again but this time so Ash can catch since he wanted to join, Ash did not argue as he now got a new bird for his team.
And right before Ash enter the Vertress Conference Rufflet evolve into Braviary and did some good work in the league, but not enough to beat Cameron's Lucario. The mighty bird appears in the air and was ready to finally fight a foe after so long, "Alright Braviary use Brave Bird." Braviary flew up and then dive coated in red flames as he got closer to Ludicolo. Fishermen commanded Ludicolo to use Leech Seed. Ludicolo hold seeds and waiting for the right moment to toss them on Braviary. As Braviary spread his wings he got coated in blue energy and slam into Ludicolo hard. But once the energy was off Braviary, Ludicolo tosses the seeds that grew roots and wrap around Bravairy and start to drain the bird of his energy. Ash knew he got to take Ludicolo out,
"Braviary use Aerial Ace with all you got." the Unova eagle Pokemon and fly at top speed towards Ludicolo. Fishermen commanded him to use Hydro Pump, so from Ludicolo peak mouth came a powerful stream of water that hit Braviary but it did not stop the giant bird. Braviary slam into Ludicolo and it hurt him but he also felt himself being drained of energy to recharge Ludicolo. Ash knew this too as well and decide to finish off Ludicolo and destroy the leech seeds on his bird, "Braviary uses Brave Bird once more!" Braviary cried out before diving at Ludicolo coated in flames which burn the seeds and roots off him as he picks up speed, "Use Ice Beam." Between Ludicolo's hands form a cyan sphere of ice energy and shoot bolts of ice energy that hit Braviary and did serious damage. Braviary power through it and enter the second stage of Brave Bird and hit Ludicolo at full force even causing an explosion in the progress. From the dust came Braivary that landed next to Ash but it was clear he was in bad shape but not as bad as the fainted Ludicolo.
"Good job Braviary takes five," Ash said patting Braviary on the head before returning him to his Poke Ball. fishermen did the same with Ludicolo and said to Ash, "You are pretty strong Ash, guess I need to take you more seriously. Go Quagsire." and so he calls on a bluefish like Pokemon that stands on his hind legs with dots for eyes. Ash knew who to pick and it was sly grass snake from Unova Snivy. The female snake appears and ready to do battle with Quagsire, "Quagsire attack using Stone Edge!" Quagsire yelp as blue spikes of rock pierces the surface towards Snivy. She avoids out of the way of the bluestones popping out of the ground and moves closer to Quagsire, "Snivy attack with Leaf Blade." her leaf tail tip turns into a green energy blade and slashes across Quagsire's chest. Quagsire uses one of its flippers and punches Snivy with Ice energy around that flipper arm.
The punch launched Snivy high into the air but while in the air, "Snivy Leaf Storm." green energy leaf form around and launch in rings towards Quagsire. The water-ground type got seriously hurt but it was still standing in this fight. Fishermen command Quagsire to use Waterfall as it got coated in water and rocket up to where Snivy was in the air. Snivy saw him coming and form green energy into a sphere to make the attack call Energy Ball. both attacks connected cause an explosion which knocked both to the ground. Snivy and Quagsire were badly hurt and would not last much longer, "Use Stone Edge once more." Fishermen said to Quagsire as he launches blue stones towards Snivy before the attack can really hit Snivy she uses the force of its surfacing to launch herself high into the sky, "Snivy finish this with another Leaf Blade." Snivy doing a front flip with Leaf Blade active making herself into a green energy buzzsaw.
As she falls down and slices right down the center of Quagsire and taking that Pokemon out cold. Fishermen return Quagsire and call out his Tentacruel. The toxic jellyfish appear and ready to poison the Unova leaf snake, "Tentacruel strike with Sludge Wave." from its mouth came a wave of sludge. Ash told Snivy to attack back with Energy Ball. Snivy launch and hit Tentacruel with the green sphere before she got hit by the sludge and was out cold and unable to fight any more. Ash recalls her and told her to rest from her hard work in this fight. Ash thinks what her next Pokemon will be next up to deal with the jellyfish. Ash picks Noctowl which was a shiny Noctowl and it was very ready to do battle, "Alright Noctowl Avenge Snivy with Psychic." his eyes glow pink and the energy and felt his body being squish and doing damage to Tentacruel. Fishermen commanded,
"Use Sludge Wave Tentacruel." from Tentacruel shoot a wave of sludge towards Noctowl which only stung Noctowl as it avoids 90% of the attack. Noctowl then fires a Shadow Ball at Tentacruel, doing nice damage to him but not as much as Psychic. Fishermen command Tentacruel to fire an Ice Beam at Noctowl. This did serious damage to Noctowl but it can still fight. Noctowl uses Psychic once more and slam Tentacreul hard to the ground and did insanely amount of damage. This attack was too much for Tentacruel to faint. Ash was happy with Noctowl taking out this jellyfish. Fishermen return his pokemon and called his Crawdaunt to the fight. Ash decides to return Noctowl and pick his next Pokemon for this battle,
"Torterra I choose you." the earth turtle appears on the field and was ready to get a W after so long since he got one. Fishermen said to his Crawdaunt, "Use Avalanche." so ice chunks hit Torterra and did okay damage to him. But Torterra was a natural walking tank, "Torterra! Fire back with a Seed Bomb!" from Torterra mouth came to a huge blast of Green energy which hit Crawdaunt like a tank shell. Crawdaunt was in serious pain but was still standing. Crawdaunt was commanded to use Crunch as it dashes towards Torterra. Ash was ordered to use Iron head as Torterra stomp towards Crawdaunt coated in steel energy. Crawdaunt uses its pinchers to use Crunch and bit down on Torterra's neck and did nice damage to him. But Torterra hops up and strike Crawdaunt with Iron Head. Fishermen growl knowing Crawdaunt was going to fall down soon,
"Crawdaunt use Aqua Jet." "Counter with Seed Bomb." Ash command of Torterra to fire a Seed Bomb. so Torterra fire its mighty Seed Bomb attack and hit Crawdaunt hard and take out Crawdaunt. Fishermen return Crawdaunt and pick his last Pokemon for his team, "Alright, Ash time to show you my strongest Pokemon! Go Gyarados." the mighty creature of the sea and roar to show its might which intimidates many of Ash's Pokemon watching the fight but his stronger Pokemon were not as impressed.
"Gyarados attack with Ice Fang!" Gyarados' fang got coated in ice energy as it bit down on Torterra and did serious damage to him, "Torterra. Get it off you with Stone Edge." Torterra stomps a foot down and from the ground blue rocks pop out and hit Gyarados on his underbelly to get it off the Sinnoh grass starter. Fishermen told Gyarados to use Dragon Dance to boost its power and speed, Ash command Torterra to use Stone Edge once more. And hit Gyarados with a blue pillar of stone and it hurt Gyarados a lot. Fishermen commanded Gyarados to respond back with another Ice Fang attack and bit down hard on Torterra. Torterra was about to faint and Ash decide to just return him so Pikachu can finish this battle. Fishermen knew Pikachu was a perfect match and the best to take down Gyarados.
"Pikachu start your offense with Thunderbolt!" Pikachu hops up and blast Gyarados with electric energy and seriously damage him. Gyarados strike back with Aqua Tail. the giant sea dragon hit Pikachu with its tail coated in water knocking Pikachu up in the air. As Pikachu was free falls it coats its tail in iron energy and swings his tail down hard on Gyarados' head. This did hurt the flying fish, "Gyarados attack back with Outrage." Gyarados had a violet multicolor aura around him before he head smashes Pikachu launching him hard into the sand. Ash knew they had to wrap this up,
"Use Volt Tackle!" Pikachu dash coated in electricity and slam into Gyarados so hard it feels over defeated. Ash patted Pikachu's head for a good job as the fishermen return his Gyarados to its Poke Ball. fishermen walk over and gave Ash a GG handshake before they go their separate ways. Ash recalls his Pokemons and walks back to Oak's lab with Pikachu and Sonic following him. But Sonic notice a small dog following them,
"Hey, Ash we are being followed. Right behind us." all turn and saw the Eevee from before at Oak's lab, but this time she did not run away but ran to Ash and rubs her head against his legs to show she likes him. Ash look at Sonic for translate on what she wants?
"It seems she likes you and wants you to be her trainer." Ash smiles and crouches down to her, "Is this true?" making sure Sonic was speaking the truth. Eevee nodded yes which hop happy to Ash as she now joins the trio now a foursome to Oak's Lab. once he arrived there he asks Oak about Eevee, "Is she a starter Pokemon for new trainers in Kanto?" Oak shook his head, "No she, in fact, the kid from Gary's Umbreon's mate." Ash gasp, "Really that's good so do I have to catch her?" Oak nodded and had more to inform Ash about her, "She not like a normal Eevee but in fact, a more advanced of their kind often called Partner Eevee."
"Partner Eevee?" Ash asks which match the look of Pikachu and Sonic, "So she like an Alpha Eevee of some kind?" Oak nodded, "You can say its something like that. They have higher stats than a normal Eevee and capable of learning moves that a normal Eevee can't." Eevee got excited and wanted to learn those moves. But Oak had more to say to Ash, "In fact, your Pikachu is like her in term to his own kind. He is also a Partner Pokemon as well." Ash gasp and shouted with excitement, "Really that also awesome. Say do you know all those special moves Pikachu and Eevee can learn?" Oak face did show promise for the young trainer,
"Sadly no. But maybe a well-known move tutor could teach them, if not lead you in the direction of one that can." Ash nodded and thanks oak before the professor returns Eevee to her Pokeball for the night as the trio about to leave when Sonic handed Ash something, "what's this?" Ash asked Sonic, "This an invitation to some kind of League that Tobias handed to me to give to you." Sonic said as he gave Ash the invitation as he opened it up and read it out loud, "You are invited into the Prism League. To enter this league you must win a full six v six from eight gyms of one of the many regions with a special badge they give you if you win." Oak said,
"You should be honored Ash, Prism League invite even those handed to you from another." Ash looks at Oak, "You know about this league?" Oak nodded yes, "Indeed it's a more advanced league than the ones you normally enter. It is hard to even get into since the Gym leaders you challenge to enter this league will be using the best Pokemon they got on hand. You will need to come at them with all you got and then some." Ash nodded and smiling, "Then more reason to push to get stronger together." Pikachu agreed with him along with Sonic, "Yeah we will show them what they got!" Ash and Pikachu agree with him. the trio heads back to Delia's home and prepares for the journey they will be going on tomorrow.
