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 19
Viridian Gym and back to Pallet Town
The gang had just arrived at Viridian and Ash was looking forward to battling Viridian Gym. "I can't believe that I only need one more badge to enter the indigo league" said Ash. He was staring at his seven badges. "You sure seem excited Ash" said Misty. "Of course I am Misty," said Ash "I have always wanted to take part in the indigo league ever since I first saw it on TV as a little kid". Misty smiled. "It is nice to dream" she admitted.
They arrived at Viridian Gym. The gym was a light brown building and looked like a Roman temple. Ash was just about to head for the doors, when his rival Gary turned up. "Hi Ash" Gary said in his cocky voice. "Gary, what are you doing here?" said Ash. "I'm here for a gym battle," said Gary "what are you here for?" "I'm here to get my eigth badge" said Ash and showed Gary his seven badges. Gary smirked and showed Ash his ten badges. "I'm battling this gym first" he said and entered the gym. Ash wanted to enter the gym too, but the guards at the door said that they would only take one challenger at a time; Ash had to wait for Gary to come out for his turn. Ash sighed. "I think I'll stop by the pokemon center for a while then".
They went to the pokemon center. The Nurse Joy was happy to see Ash and Misty again. Ash was planning to use Wartortle, Ivysaur and Kangaskhan for the gym battle, so he had Nurse Joy check them out. He was now having tea in the pokemon center café with the others. "I just realized that it has been nearly a whole year, since we left Viridian City" Misty said to Ash. "Your right," said Ash "and it will be my eleventh birthday in a couple of weeks too. Wow we have been travelling for so long, I've lost track a bit of how many days have flown by". Brock laughed. "That's normal, because it's easy to ignore the fact that time flies by so quickly when you're enjoying your good life". Just then Ash felt a psychic wave in the air. "What's wrong big brother?" asked Tomo. "I don't know," said Ash "but I'm sensing psychic powers about in this city". "Is it a psychic pokemon?" asked Brock. "I'm not sure," replied Ash "I mean it feels like a psychic pokemon, but it feels stronger though". The gang were all puzzled by this.
Half an hour later, the gang decided to head over to the gym again. When they got there, the guards were no longer there and the gym sign said 'closed'. "Something's not right," said Brock "we need to get into the gym at once". Good news was, the gym doors were not locked. The gang barged through the doors, ran through the corriders, until at last they found the battle arena. To their horror they saw Gary and his two pokemon Nidoking and Arcanine unconscious on the floor. Ash ran over to Gary to see if he was all right. "Gary what happened?" he asked. Gary woke up and explained. "The gym leader used a pokemon that I have never seen before," said Gary weakily "and it was so strong that my pokemon never stood a chance". Ash focused his mind on the area. 'The psychic waves came from here' he thought.
Just then they heard laughter. "Who's there?" said Misty. Team Rocket appeared. "What are you doing here?" said Ash. "Our boss had something to do," said Jessie "so while his dealing with his business, we are the gym leaders at the moment". 'Then this means Viridian Gym is under the control of Team Rocket' thought Ash. "If you want this badge," said Jessie, holding the Earth Badge in her left hand, "you will have to battle me first". "I accept the battle" said Ash.
Just before the battle began, James made two platforms appear on the battlefield. "The trainers will stand on these platforms" he explained. Ash stood on the green platform and Jessie stood on the red platform. Jessie threw three pokeballs. A Machamp, a Kingler and a Rhydon popped out. Giovanni had given them to Jessie. Ash tossed out Wartortle, Ivysaur and Kangaskhan. Gary was amazed by Ash's pokemon, especially Kangaskhan. It was now time for the gym battle.
The first match was between Machamp and Wartortle. Jessie had Machamp attack Wartortle with karate chop. When Wartortle got hit by that, Ash got shocked by the platform. "What happened?" gasped Misty. Team Rocket laughed. "I had the platform rigged so that the Trainer feels all the pain his Pokémon feels". Ash got cross, after hearing that. "You dirty snooks!" he shouted. Tomo, Misty and Brock were cross too and even Gary thought that this was dirty. "Wartortle blast that Machamp with water gun" said Ash. Wartortle blasted a strong stream of water at Machamp and made it feel pain. Jessie then got shocked by her platfom. "Hey why did you have my platform do the same thing?" she yelled at James. "I couldn't get just one platform to do that" said James. Jessie gritted her teeth and sent out Kingler to fight. Ash had Ivysaur to attack Kingler with razor leaf and of course Kingler was no match for that. Jessie became shocked again. Meowth had a trick with him though; he held a remote control that could cause any platform to explode. He was about to press a button, but Tomo intervered. Tomo had ordered his Growlthe to attack Meowth. Meowth became too scared to fight Growlithe back; after all he was a cat and Growlithe was a dog. Jessie became frustrated. She sent out Arbok and Weezing from their pokeballs. "Hey you can't use new pokemon," shouted Misty "that's against the rules". "I'm the gym leader," said Jessie "so I make the rules". Ash sent out Pikachu and had all his four pokemon attack Jessie's five pokemon. Machamp, Kingler, Rhydon, Arbok and Weezing were both defeated, leaving Jessie shocked for the third time". Ash had won.
Tomo, Misty and Brock cheered for Ash. Even Gary thought that Ash was an impressive trainer. James and Meowth asked Jessie if she was all right. But of course Jessie was bad tempered, because she had lost. "Hey Jessie," said Ash "I won so I would like the Earth Badge please". Jessie refused to give it to him. Just then Tomo pulled out the remote control; he had Growlithe steal it from Meowth. Tomo pressed a red button. Meowth then revealed that the button Tomo pressed would make the red platform explode, and it did. Team Rocket blasted away, with Arbok and Weezing. Machamp, Kingler and Rhydon ran away into a back room of the gym. Jessie dropped the Earth Badge and Ash caught it. "Finally my eighth badge" smiled Ash.
Ash and the gang left Viridian Gym. "I wonder why Team Rocket owns a gym" said Ash. "I don't know," said Misty "but knowing crooks like them, my guess it's for something bad". The three boys agreed with that. "Hey I wonder if we will ever see that mysterious pokemon that Gary saw" said Brock. "To be honest with you," said Ash "I have a feeling inside me telling me that we will see that pokemon". "Where's the indigo league gonna be held big brother?" asked Tomo. "Well," said Ash "I do know that it will be held at a place called Indigo Plateau, but I don't know where that is. I will have to ask Prof Oak for that". "Then I suggest we go to Pallet Town" said Brock. "I agree with that," said Ash "besides it would be nice to be home again and see my mum too". So the gang headed for Pallet Town.
When Ash arrived at Pallet Town, his mum was outside the house waiting for him. Before leaving Viridian City, Ash had phoned Delia to let her know that he was coming home. Delia pulled Ash into a hug. "I'm so glad you're home Ash" she said happily. "It's nice to be home" said Ash, returning his mum's hug. He introduced Misty and Brock to her. "I'm glad to finally meet you two," said Delia "and I thank you for taking care of Ash for me". "My pleasure" said Brock. "We had a fun time traveling with Ash" said Misty. When Delia saw Tomo, she gave him a hug too. "Nice to see you too Tomo" she said. After all the cheerful greeting, Delia and the gang went into the house. Ash saw Persian and Victreebel and greeted them. "I'm glad to see that you two have been doing well" he said. Persian purred and Victreebel sang. "Those two have been great company to me, ever since you sent them to me Ash" said Delia. Just then a pink, white and blue pokemon entered the living room. "Oh and this is my newest addition, Mr Mime, who I like to call Mimey".
Ash checked Mr Mime on the pokedex; Mr Mime, the barrier pokemon. By rapidly moving its fingers, Mr. Mime can stop air molecules to create an invisible wall.
"Wow mun," said Ash "when did you get that?" "I got Mimey a couple of days ago," said Delia "I was coming home shopping, when I noticed a hurt wild Mr Mime lying out on the path. I took it home at once and helped it become healthy again. Once it was fit enough to leave, it didn't want to leave. So I kept it as my third pokemon". "I see" smiled Ash.
Later that evening Delia made a huge meal for the gang. "I figured you four might be hungry, so dig in" she said. She also made some pokemon food for Togepi, Pikachu and Growlithe. "I've been looking forward to your cooking for a long time" said Ash. He had always loved his mum's cooking. Tomo, Misty and Brock were enjoying the meal too. "So Ash, what are you planning to no now?" asked Delia. "Well I need to ask Prof Oak where Indigo Plateau is," said Ash "and since I have a few more months until the indigo league, I'll use the time left to train". "What are you going to do for training?" asked Brock. "Well I've decided to train my pokemon in different habitants," said Ash "you know like train my water pokemon in the ocean and train my bug pokemon in the forest and all that". "Yeah, I like that idea" said Misty. Tomo asked Ash if he could watch him train. Ash agreed to that. "If you are going to do that," said Delia "I suggest you all get a good nights sleep tonight, to recharge your energy".
That night Ash was tucked up in bed with Pikachu, Tomo and Growlithe. "We are going to be very busy for the next few months," he said to them "so we are going to need all the rest we can get tonight". Pikachu squeaked at that. "I can't wait to see you fighting in the indigo league big brother" said Tomo. "And I can't wait to participate in it" said Ash. And soon they were all asleep.
The next day, after having a nice breakfast, the gang walked over to Prof Oak's lab. "Wow, so that's the lab?" said Misty. "Yep," said Ash "and this is where I started my journey. It's also where I met and got Pikachu". Pikachu squeaked at that; he remembered that day too. Ash walked up to the door and ding donged on the door bell. "Who is it?" said a voice. "Hi professor it's me Ash" said Ash. Prof Oak opened the door. "Ah Ash it is good to see you," he said "and you too Tomo, Misty and Brock. Come on in". Tomo, Misty and Brock were amazed about how big Prof Oak's lab was. Prof Oak brought them into his living room for a chat. Gary was in there too. "Hey Gary" said Ash. "Well hi there Ash," said Gary "what are you doing here?" "Here for information about Indigo Plateau" said Ash. "So am I" said Gary. "Before I answer any questions," said Prof Oak "I have something to speek to you about Ash and Gary". Ash and Gary looked at him in confusion.
Gary and the gang sat down on the living room's couches and Prof Oak stayed standing up. "Gary and Ash," he said "as you know that it has nearly been a whole year that you two started your journey. And I must say both of you have made Pallet Town proud and have also become Pallet Town's two top trainers". "Wow, thanks Grandpa" said Gary. "Hang on a minute," said Ash "what about the other two trainers that left on the same day as Gary and me?" "Ah well Ash," said Prof Oak "those two are still travelling, but they will not be joining you at the indigo league. The truth is their battling skills do not compare to you two, so they haven't exactly succeeded as trainers". Ash and Gary looked at each other in amazement. "Now I wish to check some things out with you two". Prof Oak had a computer in his living room and switched it on. "First I want your pokedex's" he said to Gary and Ash. Ash and Gary handed them over. "Now according to the research," said Prof Oak "Ash you have seen over one hundred different pokemon, while Gary has seen only sixty pokemon". Ash was amazed by that, but it was true that he had seen all sorts of pokemon on his journey. "Next up is that Gary has ten badges and Ash has eight badges, said Prof Oak "and last of all Gary has caught more than two hundred pokemon and Ash has caught forty three pokemon. Which I say is very impressive". Ash was amazed by the amount of pokemon Gary had caught, but he didn't care; he didn't believe that catching pokemon like crazy was important. "Now that is all settled," said Prof Oak, giving Ash and Gary back the pokedex's "the last thing to say is about the pokemon league at Indigo Plateau". "Where is Indigo Plateau, professor?" asked Ash. Prof Oak showed them where it was on a map on the computer screen. "To get to Indigo Plateau you need to turn west from Viridian City first," Prof Oak explained "that will be route 22, then you go to route 23 and that is now you get to Indigo Plateau". Ash and Gary thanked Prof Oak and then Gary left. He decided to head home for a rest.
Ash and the gang walked into the Oak Corral, where all the pokemon, that trainers caught, were. Ash released his pokemon from their pokeballs; Ivysaur, Pidgeotto, Flareon, Vaporeon and Cubone. Then he called out for his other pokemon and soon Ash was surrounded by his forty three pokemon. "Okay everyone," Ash said to all of his pokemon "we are entering the pokemon league in two months time. During these two months we are going to train and make ourselves strong for the pokemon league. Everyone understand?" His pokemon roared in agreement.
While Ash was talking to his pokemon, Tomo was playing with his pokemon; Growlithe, Tauros, Nidoran couple, Poliwag, Venonat, Cubone, Kabuto, Omanyte and Farfetch'd. Tomo was feeling very cheerful; he had travelled with Ash, caught some new pokemon friends and learnt how to do pokemon battles. But one thing worried him; what would he do after Ash finished hs journey?
When the gang went back to Ash's house, a big surprise waited for them. Ranger Jenny was there, talking to Delia. "Ranger Jeny," gasped Ash "what are you doing here?" "I am here to discuss about Tomo" she said. Ash began to get worried; he had grown very fond of Tomo and saw him like a little brother. 'Does this mean Tomo and I will now be separated from each other?' he thought. Both he, Tomo, Misty and Brock got nervous about what Ranger Jenny was going to say next. Ranger Jenny took out some papers. "These are adoption papers" she said. Delia spoke next. "Ranger Jenny told me everything about Tomo's dead parents," she said "and we came to an agreement". "I have heard that Tomo has been happy with you Ash," said Ranger Jenny "and I had decided that Tomo should stay with you permanently". "Which means that Tomo will now be part of our family Ash" said Delia. Ash and Tomo were shocked by this. "Then this means that you and I will be real brothers now Tomo" said Ash. Tomo jumped into his brothers arms and then ran to Delia; his new mum. So it was now arranged; Tomo was now Tomo Ketchum. Ranger Jenny left Pallet Town, happily knowing that Tomo would now grow up with a real family beside him at last.
For the next two months, Ash trained with his pokemon. He trained his water pokemon Wartortle, Golduck, Vaporeon, Gyarados and Krabby in the ocean at Seafoam Islands. He also trained his Dragonair there as well. For his rock and ground pokemon, Sandslash, Rhydon, Kabutops, Omastar and Aerodactyl, Ash trained in the mountains. He also trained Clefable, Wigglytuff, Primeape, Kangaskhan, Charizard, Flareon, Ninetails, Rapidash, Cubone, Nidorino, Nidorina and Tauros there as well. Butterfree, Beedrill, Parasect, Venonat, Scyther and Pinsir were trained in the forest. And last of all, Ash trained Pikachu, Raichu, Ivysaur, Doduo, Pidgeotto, Fearow, Gengar, Muk, Arbok, Magnemite, Espeon, Umbreon and Jolteon in the meadows. His last two Eevees were too young for training, so Ash decided to wait till they had grown up a bit more. Tomo, Misty and Brock had been watching Ash train all the time, and were very impressed with Ash. "I think Ash is ready for this" said Brock. "So do I" agreed Misty.
Thanks to all the training, Ash's pokemon were all ready for the indigo league. In the process some of Ash's pokemon evolved. Pidgeotto evolved into Pidgeot, Krabby into Kingler, Venonat into Venomoth, Doduo into Dodrio, Magnemite into Magneton and Cubone into Marowak. Ash also evolved his Nidorina and Nidorino into Nidoqueen and Nidoking by using his moon stone.
Apart from training Ash and the gang celebrated Ash's eleventh birthday. They had a party for Ash, with plenty of food and a big birthday cake. Ash also got presents; new clothes, pokemon toys and accessories, a new backpack and a book of legendary pokemon from Prof Oak. "It's funny," Ash said "I left Pallet Town as a ten year old, and now I'm back as an eleven year old". Everyone giggled at that.
There was one important thing that Ash had to do and that was showing his mum his psychic powers. When Delia saw that, she was surprised, but wasn't in shock. "I think I know why you have these powers" she said. She took out an old book from her bookshelf, opened it up and revealed a page to Ash. The page was a picture of a beautiful woman with long black hair. "This is our ancestor Celeste," Delia said "and she was a psychic and a very powerful one too. She got married to a man from our family. So you inherited your powers from her Ash". Ash was amazed that he did have a psychic relative down his line. He told Misty, Brock and Tomo about her as well. "This explains why you have psychic powers" said Brock. Ash was still amazed by this; but it didn't faze him one bit.
Now it was finally time for the gang to head for Indigo Plateau. "Indigo league, here I come" said Ash. And he and the gang headed out for Indigo Plateau.
Don't worry readers, I am going to do the movies, but I want to finish of the Kanto league first before I do it.
