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 (He'll find out about being a psyphic and Aura user later). I do not own pokemon.
Chapter 15
Paras, Jigglypuff and Fossils
Ash and the gang came to a small village called Mossgreen Village. "I want a rest and something to eat," said Ash "not to mention my pokemon need a rest too." He had been training with his pokemon a lot on their travels. While on the travels they had met a wannabe magician named Melvin. He had two pokemon, Exeggcute and Exegutor. Ash had battled him with his Charmander and in process Charmander had evolved into Charmeleon. At first he was a bit nervous of his Charmeleon. He had heards stories in the past about Charmeleons usually being disobedient after evolving from Charmander. But when Ash hugged Charmeleon, Charmeleon hugged Ash back. So Charmeleon was still loyal to Ash. And Ash got to know the pokemon he had caught from the safari zone better. "Apart from food and rest," said Brock "we need to stock up on medicines". His medicine bag was empty. It wasn't a good idea for them to travel without medicines.
After getting food and a nice rest at the village inn, they went to the village pharmacy. The pharmacy was run by a woman names Cassandra and her grandmother. After Brock brought medicine from her store, Cassandra asked Ash for a pokemon battle. Ash accepted that. Cassandra's pokemon was a Paras. Ash smiled at that; he had a Paras as well. "The reason I want to battle is to help Paras evolve," said Cassandra "you see Para's mushroom will help me and medicines if it evolves into a Parasect". Ash agreed to help with that. "Let's do it" he said.
But when Ash and Cassandra started to battle, there was a problem. Cassandra's Paras was a coward and weakling. When Pikachu went up to greet Paras it walked behind her in cowardness. 'This is going to be a heck of a problem' thought Ash. Ash asked Pikachu to do the smallest thundershock it could. When Pikachu did that, Paras fainted at once. 'This is pathetic,' thought Ash 'of all the weak pokemon I have seen in the past, this Paras is the weakest'. "Time out Cassandra," said Ash "this is getting us nowhere. We need to put your Paras into shape, before we continue battling". "The young man is right," said Cassandra's grandmother "your Paras needs to build up confidence Cassandra". "And I know what pokemon can help us," said Ash, holding up a pokeball, "Paras I choose you". Ash's Paras was ready to go. "Okay Paras we need your help. You see that Paras over there is really weak and needs help. So I need you to help that Paras get into shape". Paras nodded.
Ash founds some logs and put them straight in a line. "We will use these logs," he explained "to test out Paras' attacks". Misty, Tomo and Brock watched from the sides. "This is a great idea Ash has come up with," said Brock "sometimes when you're helping a pokemon, it's best to have a pokemon from its own species help out". Misty also agreed that this was a great idea and so did Tomo. "Okay Cassandra," said Ash "we'll both have our Paras use fury cutter on the wood". Ash's Paras' pincer glowed orange and slashed at the wood. Cassandra's Paras did the same, but it wasn't as strong as Ash's Paras. It did take a bit of time, but at last Cassandra's Paras' fury cutter attack got strong. They did scratch attack on logs as well. Cassandra was happy that her Paras was doing well. "There is one attack that we should teach your Paras," said Ash "and that is the move bug bite". Ash's Paras knew bug bite, so Ash had her demonstrate on a log. Paras' teeth glowed white and gnawed away at the log. Cassandra's Paras had a go too. At first its teeth wouldn't glow, but after having a go ten times, it learned bug bite.
After all the tests, it was now time for Ash and Cassandra to battle again. They decided to make it a Paras vs Paras battle. Thanks to the training, Cassandra's Paras actually put up a fight. The Paras were going at each other with their pincers. Then suddenly both Ash's and Cassandra's Paras began to glow and they both evolved into a Parasect. "Wow," gasped Ash "I wasn't expecting this". Cassandra was surprised by this as well, but was very happy. She petted her Parasect, while Ash petted his Parasect.
Cassandra was very grateful. "Ash I can't thank you enough," she said "and now I can make my medicine". "I can tell young man," said Cassandra's grandmother "that you will a great pokemon trainer". "Thank you" said Ash. Then the gang went on their way.
After traveling through a desert, they finally reached a town called Neon Town. It was getting late and the gang was getting tired, especially Tomo. When they enterd the city, they saw a lot of lights on and people were still walking about. "Neon City is open 24 hours a day" said Brock. They were passing by Casinos, looking for a hotel, when suddenly Ash bumped into a man. "Sorry" said Ash. "You will be kid" snorted the man, grabbing onto Ash. "Hey I said I was sorry" said Ash. Misty, Tomo and Brock were about to help Ash, when Officer Jenny showed. "That's enough," she said "no fighting". The man walked off in a huff and Ash thanked Officer Jenny for her help. "I suggest you kids get to a hotel at once," said Officer Jenny "and not get into any more fights. And I must tell you we hardly ever sleep here". Then she left to stop more fights happening. "Gosh Officer Jenny looked cranky" said Misty. "This is what happens if you don't get a good enough sleep," said Brock "it can make anyone cranky if you don't".
After spending a night in the hotel, Ash and the gang left Neon Town at once, after breakfast. "Phew what a town" said Ash. "I'll say," said Misty "with all the noise and fighting happening in that town, it's no wonder people there hardly get any sleep". "It makes me think that I should use my Clefable to put the people to sleep with her lullaby" said Ash. "That does seem a good idea," said Brock "put I think you would need another pokemon to help Clefable sing them to sleep".
Just then Tomo saw something. "What's that?" he asked. It was a round, pink pokemon. "Hey it's a Jigglypuff" said Ash.
He took out the pokedex: Jigglypuff, the balloon pokemon. When Jigglypuff's big eyes begin to quiver, everyone becomes sleepy as it sings a lullaby.
"Jigglypuffs are famous for their lullaby" said Ash. Misty thought it was really cute and thought about catching it. But first she ran to Jigglypuff and asked it to sing. The thing is though this Jigglypuff didn't know how to sing. "That's funny," said Brock "whoever heard of a Jigglypuff who couldn't sing?" "I have an idea" said Ash and took out his Clefable. "My Clefable can help it". Misty, Tomo and Brock thought that was a good idea and decided to take a break and Ash asked his Clefable to teach Jigglypuff how to sing.

Clefable and Jigglypuff walked to an opening. "So you don't know how to sing?" asked Clefable. "No," said Jigglypuff "I never learnt how". "Well then I shall sing first," said Clefable "then you will learn". Clefable sang her song. When she finished she noticed some Pidgeys had fallen asleep from the song. "Oh dear," said Clefable "I don't know my own strength sometimes". Jigglypuff was shocked by that. "Aren't you angry with them?" she asked "I mean they fell asleep when they listened to your song". "It's all right," Clefable said "that's supposed to happen. You see my sing attack move is really a lullaby and it's supposed to put humans and pokemon to sleep. And it's the same with you too. It's in Clefairys, Clefables, Jigglypuffs and Wigglytuffs nature to do that". "Really?" asked Jigglypuff. "Yes," said Clefable "didn't your mother ever tell you that?" "I got separated from my mother when I was a baby," said Jigglypuff "so I don't really know that much about my kind". "I see," said Clefable "well I will tell you about your speceis myself". Thanks to Clefable Jigglypuff understood about her kind. "Before I teach you to sing," said Clefable "do you know any moves?" Apparently Jigglypuff knew the moves pound, double slap, wake-up slap, body slam, hyper voice and double edge. "That's a good set of moves," said Clefable "now I will teach you to sing". Thanks to Cleafables teaching Jigglypuff learnt the move sing. And even though Jigglypuff put some wild pokemon to sleep, she didn't mind because she now knew that her song was meant to do that. Clefable also taught Jigglypuff the moves mega kick and mega punch.
(Poketranslater off)
When Clefable and Jigglypuff went back to the group, Ash thanked Clefable for her help. He was about to return her to the pokeball, but Jigglypuff stopped him. "Jigglypuff has probably become friends with Clefable" said Brock. So Ash left Clefable out. Ash began to feel thirsty and took out his water bottle from his rucksack. He even took out his bag of evolutionary stones and placed his thunder stone, water stone, fire stone, leaf stone and moon stone on the ground. "I love love looking at my stones," said Ash "they look like treasure to me".
When Jigglypuff saw the moon stone, her eyes widened and she touched the moon stone. As soon as she touched it, she began to glow. Ash and the gang looked in amazement as Jigglypuff evolved into Wigglytuff. "Oh wow!" gasped Ash "I did say some time ago that the moon stone makes Jigglypuff evolve into Wigglytuff".
He took out the pokedex: Wigglytuff, the balloon pokemon. The evolved form of Jigglypuff. Its fine fur feels sublime to the touch. It can expand its body by inhaling air.
"Amazing" said Misty. Then suddenly an idea came to her mind. "Let's have both Clefable and Wigglytuff sing at Neon Town". "Yeah," said Brock "two evolved pokemon would surely have the power to sing all the people there to sleep.
So they went back to Neon Town. Good news was that there was an empty stage truck in the middle of the town. Clefable and Wigglytuff got up on the stage truck and sang their lullaby together. All the people in Neon Town fell asleep, and so did Ash and the gang. When everyone woke up, they became friendlier towards each other. "It seems your idea worked Misty" said Brock. The man, who Ash bumped into yesterday, came up to Ash and apologized to him. Even Officer Jenny wasn't cranky anymore. "Well guys," said Ash "I think it's time to leave". Misty, Tomo and Brock agreed. Ash was just about to return Clefable to her pokeball, but Wigglytuff stoped him. It was obvious that Wigglytuff didn't want to be separated from Clefable; they had become best friends. Then Ash got an idea. "Would you like to come with me Wigglytuff?" he asked. Wigglytuff hesitated at first, but then knew that this way she would be with Clefable always, so she agreed. So Ash caught Wigglytuff and as soon as her pokeball teleported to Prof Oak's lab, he transported Clefable's pokeball to Prof Oak's lab. That way Wigglytuff and Clefable wouldn't be separated from each other.
With Wigglytuff as his new pokemon, Ash and the gang left Neon Town, feeling relaxed and cheerful.
The gang came to an area called Grampa Canyon. They saw a lot of people with picks and shovels. "What are they doing?" asked Tomo. "I know what they're doing," said Ash "Prof Oak told me at the pokemon centre that fossils were found here recently". "I see," said Brock "so these people here are searching for fossils". "Can we hunt for fossils too please?" asked Tomo. "I don't see why not," said Ash "what do you think Misty and Brock?" Misty and Brock had nothing against that either.
Just as the group were about to search for fossils, Ash's Rival Gary turned up. "Why, hello Ashy-boy," said Gary "here to search for fossils? You're wasting your time" and he left. Tomo didn't like Gary's attitude and was glad that Ash wasn't like that. Soon everyone was searching for fossils, but finding them wasn't easy. What everyone didn't know was that trouble was occurring in Grampa Canyon.
Team Rocket was at Grampa Canyon too. They wanted to get a lot of fossils. "If we collect a lot of extinct pokemon," said James "not only will we be rich but, Team Rocket will become more powerful than ever". "Meowth have you got the dynamite ready?" asked Jessie. "Ready and set" said Meowth. The dynamite was for blowing up the canyon, so that Team Rocket could find fossils easily.
Meanwhile the gang were still hunting for fossils. Suddenly Brock found two rocks. They both had pictures of sheels on them. "I wonder what these two are?" said Brock. An old man, who was an expert on fossils, looked at them. "Congratulations young man," he said "you have found a dome fossil and a helix fossil. Take these two fossils to a scientist and you will obtain a Kabuto and Omanyte all for yourself". Brock was surprised and thanked the old man. Ash, Tomo and Misty were happy for their friend and hopoed to find fossils for themselves as well.
Suddenly they saw Team Rocket. "What are you creeps doing?" demanded Ash. Team Rocket revealed their plan as Meowth lit the fuse on the dynamite. "You'll do no such thing!" shouted Ash, and released his Squirtle. Ash, Tomo and Squirtle chased after the fuse as fast as they could to put it out. Team Rocket ran after them to stop it. But they were all too late: the dynamite blew up. Ash, Tomo and Team Rocket fell through a hole in the ground.
When Ash woke up, he discovered that he and Tomo were in an underground cave. "Are you all right Tomo" he asked. "I'm okay" said Tomo. None of them were hurt. "I'm relieved that I didn't have my rucksack with me when we fell in here," said Ash "my eggs are in there and they would have ended up broken. Come on Tomo we need to find away out of here". "Pikachu and Growlithe aren't here" said Tomo. "You're right," said Ash "and Squirtle isn't here either. We must have gotten separated from each other when the dynamite went off. Don't worry though, i'm sure they're okay and they will be with Misty and Brock".
Just then they ran into Team Rocket. "Hey twerp!" shouted Jessie "it's your fault that we are trapped in this cave". "My fault?" shouted Ash "you three are the stupid ones who lit the dynamite!" They were about to argue some more, when they heard growls. Soon they were confronted by fossil pokemon.
Ash looked at them on his pokedex: Omanyte, Omastar, Kabuto, and Kabutops. It is believed these Pokémon became extinct tens of thousands of years ago. The details of their behavior are shrouded in mystery. Though some have speculated that they may still exist, none of these Pokémon have ever been seen alive.
"The explosion from our dynamite must have woken them up" said Jessie. "But this is a good opportunity," said Meowth "it's now our chance to catch them". Jessie and James agreed and sent out Arbok and Weezing to battle them.
While Team Rocket was dealing with one group of fossil pokemon, Ash and Tomo had to deal with a secong group of fossil pokemon. Tomo was scared and held onto Ash. Ash petted Tomo's hair to calm him down and took out a pokeball. "Since fighting beats rock types, I choose you Primeape" said Ash. His big monkey pokemon huffed and got its fists ready to fight. "Use dynamic punch". Primeape's fists glowed white and he punched the fossil pokemon really hard. "Now use hi jump kick". Primeape jumped and kicked the fossil pokemon really hard. Ash grabbed two pokeballs from his pocket and caught a Kabutops and Omastar. Then he passed two empty pokeballs to Tomo. "This is a once in a lifetime chance, so catch them". Tomo grinned and tossed the pokeballs at Kabuto and Omanyte. "Primeape return" said Ash. He and Tomo were relieved that the fossil pokemon, they had to fight, were dealt with but Team Rocket was still having trouble with their fossil pokemon.
Outside the cave, Misty and Brock were dealling with the rubble of rocks. Pikachu, Squirtle and Growlithe were helping out too, digging away rocks and soil. "I hope Ash and Tomo are okay" said Misty. "So do I" said Brock. He had his Geodude and Rhyhorn helping out.
Inside the cave, Team Rocket was still having trouble with the fossil pokemon. When suddenly a loud roar was heard and the Omastar, Omanyte, Kabuto and kabutops ran away in fear. "Where did that roar come from?" said Ash, holding onto Tomo. His answer was soon answered. A large grey dragon, with wings flew over the group and landed on a rock, roaring.
Ash looked at the pokemon on his pokedex: Aerodactyl, the fossil pokemon. Its hard fangs suggest that it was a carnivore. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey.
Ash became horrified and grabbed Tomo's hands. "Run!" he shouted. Ash and Tomo ran as fast as they could, but Aerodactyl caught up to them and grabbed Ash with its claws. Ash had pushed Tomo out of the way, before Aerodactyl grabbed him.
Meanwhile Misty and Brock and the pokemon were still digging out the rubble, when they heard shouts and screams from the other side. "What's going on?" asked Misty. Her answer was soon answered. Aerodactyl flew out of the grownd, with Ash in its claws. Tomo was holding onto Aerodactyl's tail and let go as soon they were out of the underground cave.
Aerodactul was flying into the air, still holding Ash. "What can we do?" said Misty. Pikachu and Squirtle were worried for their trainer. Tomo quickly ran to Ash's rucksack, to see if there was something in there to help. And there was; he foung two of Ash pokeballs. Tomo opened them and out popped Charmeleon and Fearow. "Fearow, Ash needs help!" shouted Tomo, pointing to the sky. Fearow saw the situation and took off into the sky at once. Fearow flew as fast as he could to save Ash, but Aerodactyl was too fast for Fearow. Ash was trying to get himself free fromAerodactyl's claws, but Aerodactyl held onto Ash tighter and tighter.
On the ground, Charmeleon was horrified by what was happening. Ash was like a brother to him, and he was not going to let the Aerodactyl get away with this. Charmeleon roared and then suddenly glowed. Tomo, Misty and Brock watched in awe, as Charmeleon evolved into Charizard. Charizard took off into the sky at once. Charizard and Fearow teamed up together to save Ash from Aerodactyl. Charizard distracted Aerodactyl by firing flamethrower at it. Then, while Aerodactyl wasn't looking, Fearow charged at Aerodactyl with the move giga impact. Aerodactyl dropped Ash, but Charizard caught him. Ash was happy. "Thank you Charizard" he said. Then Ash commanded Charizard to finish Aerodactyl off with fire blast. Charizard's fire blast scorched Aerodactyl and it crashed to the ground. "Let's get to the ground" said Ash. Charizard flew towards the ground and Fearow followed. Ash threw a pokeball at the Aerodactyl and caught it. He thanked Charizard and Fearow for saving him and hugged them both. Then he noticed a pokemon egg on the ground.
After the incident with Aerodactyl, Officer Jenny arrived at Grampa Canyon. Ash told her everything that had happened. She turned to all the diggers. "Everyone," she said "because of this incident with Aerodactyl, caused by Team Rocket. I have decided that digging for fossils in Grampa Canyon is now forbidden". She turned to Brock. "Brock as you found the fossils before this accident; you shall keep your fossils, but after you resurrect your pokemon don't let anyone know that you found them at Grampa Canyon". Brock understood. "Ash, I am going to drive you and your friends to the hospital at once. You need to get your body checked for any damage". Ash understood and he and the gang got into Officer's Jenny car at once.
At the hospital, the docters examined Ash's body with an x-ray; he was fine. Tomo was hugging onto Ash like mad; he had been really worried about Ash. When Ash phoned Prof Oak, he was really excited about Ash catching the fossil pokemon. He also said to Brock that a scientist, who specialized in fossils, lived on Cinnabar Island and would resurrect his Kabuto and Omanyte from the fossils. The gang decided to stay at the hospital for the night. Just then Ash took out the egg he found from his rucksack. He handed the egg to Misty. "I already have two eggs," he said to her "besides I know that you've always wanted an infant pokemon of your own". Misty was happy and hugged Ash in gratitude. Then the gang settled down to sleep, with new pokemon on their team.
As for Team Rocket; they had left Grampa Canyon, feeling unhappy of their failure of catching any fossil pokemon.
1. I hated Charizard being disobedient in the anime. 2. In the manga they had Brock with a fossil pokemon, but never gave him one in the anime. 3. I thought the Jigglypuff in the anime was ridiculous. I mean it didn't know that its song was supposed to put anyone, who hears it, to sleep. Not to mention I hated it following the group just to find someone to listen to it. 4. For Kate, Togepi doesn't suit Ash. 5. I have put up on my profile what Pokemon Ash will get in the Johto region, Hoenn region, Sinnoh region and Unova region.
