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.
Note: I am not doing the Kalos Region. So fairy pokemon and Mega Evolutions don't exist.
Chapter 51
Lance and the Red Gyarados
The gang were now getting close to Mahogany Town. "I can't wait to battle the gym in Mahogany Town" said Ash. "I can't wait for an earned rest in Mahogany Town" said Misty. Only thing was they were a little bit lost. Suddenly Pikachu, Growlithe and Togepi started to faint. "What's wrong?" asked Misty. She checked Togepi all over. "Togepi does look sick, but she doesn't feel sick; no fever or anything". Just then Brock saw some wild grass and bug pokemon and they all looked sick. "There's something weird going on around here," said Brock "and I don't like it". Ash, Tomo and Misty didn't like it either.
Suddenly a roaring noise was heard not far from where the gang was standing. "What was that?" asked Tomo. "That sounded like a Gyarados," said Ash "and a very angry one too". "We better see what's going on," said Brock "there might be trouble about". The gang came to a huge lake, and then suddenly a red Gyarados burst out of the lake. The gang got scared by that. "That Gyarados is shiny" said Ash. Gyarados began swaying about in the lake. "I think that Gyarados is sick too" said Brock. "Your right Brock," said Ash "and it seems to be in terrible pain too. We should go and get some help".
The gang were about to leave, but then three men came up to them. "You kids aren't going anywhere," said one of the men, who seemed to be the leader, "especially you have seen the red Gyarados". "You are Team Rocket!" shouted Ash, noticing the R sign on the men's vests. "Since you kids also know who we are," said the man "it's all more the reason to not let you kids go". The man sent out a Fearow to battle gang. Ash sent out Flaffy to battle Fearow, as Pikachu was unfit to battle. But as soon as Flaffy came out of her pokeball, she started to feel sick too. This gave the man a chance to attack the gang with Fearow.
But then, at that moment the Fearow was struck by a thunder wave attack. A man, with red hair, was riding a Dragonite. "You kids get away from here" said the man. The gang did as they were told and started to run away into the forest. The Team Rocket agents didn't want the kids to get away, but the man had his Dragonite distract the agents with whirlwind, which blew the agents off their feet. Then the man left with Dragonite to where the gang was.
At that time, the gang had now stopped running, and then the man and his Dragonite showed up. Ash realised that the man was actually Lance of the elite four and introduced himself. Tomo, Misty and Brock introduced themselves too. At that moment, Pikachu, Growlithe and Togepi stopped feeling sick, which made Ash, Tomo and Misty relieved. "What are you kids doing here in the forest?" asked Lance. Ash explained that they were on their way to Mahogany Town, but they got lost and they heard the red Gyarados in the lake. "That red Gyarados is the reason why I'm here" said Lance. "The truth is I'm a member of the organization called the Pokemon G-men". "I've heard of that organization," said Ash "the members patrol around the whole pokemon world, arresting those who abuse pokemon and arrest those who capture pokemon to use in evil ways. As the matter of fact, I'm actually glad that a member of that organization is here. I mean I don't know if you already know this, but Team Rocket have been making moves here in Johto lately". "I do know Ash and that's why I'm here," said Lance "there have been reports that Team Rocket has been doing some experiment here at Lake of Rage". "What kind of experiments?" asked Ash. "I don't know, but it has something to do with that red Gyarados" said Lance. "Is there anything we can do to help?" asked Brock. "No you kids continue on to Mahogany Town," said Lance, giving the kids directions "because of Team Rocket, this forest has become too dangerous for you to be here. You leave this to me". The gang just continued to Mahogany Town, so not to disobey Lance's words.
Deep in the forest, near Lake Rage, was one of Team Rocket's bases. It looked like a warehouse. The Team Rocket grunt from earlier, whose name was Tyson, was talking to a scientist. This scientists name was Dr Sebastian and he was another scientist who worked for Team Rocket. Dr Sebastian was more calm and clever than Dr Namba, and he loved creating experiments that would make pokemon stronger and would trap them. "This experiment is still incomplete," said Dr Sebastian "the red Gyarados was the only pokemon that evolved from its previous form. That's why we need to catch it and examine it. Once the data is complete, the radio waves will be able to make all pokemon evolve without fail". "With that, we will have a very strong pokemon army for Team Rocket" said Tyson. "Unfortunately we don't have the equipment to capture the red Gyarados, while it's on the lake floor" said Dr Sebastian. "So that means we need to lure it to the surface, and then catch it" said Tyson.
Just then a Team Rocket informed Tyson that Jessie, James and Meowth had arrived at the base. "Great," said Tyson "those three will be perfect bait of luring out the red Gyarados for us". Jessie, James and Meowth were in a hallway of the base, waiting for Tyson to give them orders. "What do you think Tyson wants us to do?" asked James. "Probably wants us to guard something" said Jessie. "Might be something top secret, like experiments or equipment" said Meowth. Just then Tyson came up to Jessie, James and Meowth. "What are your orders for us Tyson sir?" asked Jessie. "I called you three here because I have a task for you" said Tyson. He explained that there was a red Gyarados in the lake and they needed someone to lure the pokemon to the surface on the lake. Jessie, James and Meowth were surprised about knowing that a shiny Gyarados was around. "You can leave that to us sir," said James "our water pokemon will easily guide it to the surface". "Good," said Tyson "my men and I will take care of the rest once you bring it to the surface". "Yes sir" said Jessie, James and Meowth together. Then they set off towards the Lake of Rage.
Meanwhile, the gang were walking to Mahogany Town again, but Ash wasn't thinking about his upcoming gym battle now; he was thinking about the red Gyarados and Team Rocket. "We should head back to Lake of Rage and help Lance," he said to the others "I have a really bad feeling that the red Gyarados is in terrible danger because of Team Rocket. And I'm afraid about what's going to happen to all of the wild pokemon around here". Tomo agreed with Ash and so did Brock. "If Team Rocket succeeds in this experiment of theirs, they'll be harming not only the wild pokemon around this area, but everyone's pokemon including our pokemon" said Brock. Misty started to agree with Ash too, so the gang headed back to Lake of Rage to help Lance and the red Gyarados.
Back at base, Team Rocket was getting ready to catch the red Gyarados. Lance was at the base too. He knocked out a Team Rocket agent and stole his uniform to blend in with the other rocket agents. So now he could find out what was going on, without being found out. Jessie and James were getting ready to lure the Gyarados to the lake's surface and had Chinchou and Cloyster out. "Do you want us to fight the Gyarados sir?" asked James. "No just lure to the surface for us" answered Tyson. "Roger!" said James. Jessie and James sent Chinchou and Cloyster into the lake.
The red Gyarados was asleep on the floor of the lake, and it was still in pain. Chinchou and Cloyster swam to where the Cloyster was. Chinchou shined its light very bright over the red Gyarados and it got woken up. Once the red Gyarados was disturbed it got angry and intended to attack Chinchou and Cloyster. Chinchou and Cloyster swam up to the surface as fast as they could. As soon as Chinchou and Cloyster hit the surface, Jessie and James returned them at once, and then the red Gyarados appeared. "Our target is here," said Tyson "release the nets". The Team Rocket agents fired a gigantic net, which trapped Gyarados at once, and then they released electric shocks at Gyarados. The red Gyarados became very weak and unconscious. "Capture complete" said Tyson. "Good, now we take it back to the laboratory for further investigating" said Dr Sebastian.
At that moment, the gang showed up at the lake and saw the red Gyarados in the net. "It must be Team Rocket's work" said Brock. "Oh yeah?" said Ash "well they aren't getting away with this". He sent out Croconaw to help the red Gyarados. Tomo and Misty sent out sent out Totodile and Staryu to help out. Croconaw, Totodile and Staryu swam up to the net and tried to rip it apart to free the red Gyarados.
Dr Sebastian and Tyson noticed the pokemon and saw the gang. "It seems those kids wish to interfere with our plans" said Tyson, crossly. Lance saw them too and couldn't believe that they had come back to the lake. Dr Sebastian ordered his lab assistants to turn on his experiment, which he called the evolution inducement wave. Lance heard everything, and stood by to see what would happen. The agents let of some sort of radio waves, from the base, across Lake of Rage. Totodile, Croconaw and Staryu became sick from the waves, and so did Pikachu, Togepi and Growlithe. "What's going on?" asked Tomo. He, Ash and Misty returned their water pokemon at once. "I get it now," said Brock "the red Gyarados and our pokemon are all being affected by Team Rocket's experiments". "But what experiment is it?" Tomo wanted to know.
Before Tomo's question could be answered, the gang were caught by Tyson and his men. "I'm afraid we can't have you kids messing with us," said Tyson "so you will become our permanent guests". Tyson and his men led the kids to Dr Sebastian. The red Gyarados was being placed into a truck. Ash demanded to know what Team Rocket was doing with the red Gyarados. Dr Sebastian explained about his invention, the evolution inducement wave, and that it would make any pre-evolved pokemon evolve at once. "As you can guess it worked on Gyarados when it was still a Magikarp" said Dr Sebastian. The gang couldn't believe their ears. "How could you?" said Misty "controlling a pokemon's evolution is absolutely against nature". "But even nature can be beaten with science" replied Dr Sebastian. "You won't get away with this" said Ash, angrily. "Complain all you like, but there is nothing you kids can do about this" smirked Tyson.
Tyson had the gang locked up in a prison cell in the base, while he, Dr Sebastian and some grants got ready to transport the red Gyarados to Mahogany Town. They had a hideout there, and they planned to study the red Gyarados there. Jessie and James asked Tyson if there was anything else that he needed them to do. "Guard the kids and make sure they don't try anything" Tyson commanded. Lance was in one of the cars, listening to Dr Sebastian's plans. Then the truck, carrying the red Gyarados started to leave.
In their prison cell, the gang started to think what to do. "We have to get out of here somehow," said Ash "we can't let Team Rocket get away with this". "I agree with you Ash," said Brock "their experiment to make pokemon evolve is so wrong". "But what can we do?" asked Misty "I mean we are locked up tight, and our pokemon are in no good condition to do anything, because of that machine".
Meanwhile Lance was contacting Officer Jenny in Mahogany Town. He told her about Team Rocket, their hideouts at Lake of Rage and Mahogany Town, and about the red Gyarados. "I'll have my men ready to deal with Team Rocket at once," said Officer Jenny "thank you contacting me about this Lance". "My pleasure" said Lance, and the conversation was over. He drove back to the hideout at Lake of Rage to help Ash and the others.
Back at the prison cell, Jessie, James and Meowth arrived on the scene. "Why am I not surprised that you three are here too?" said Ash. "Just lucky I guess" replied James. "Now that you twerps are tied up, this is a good opportunity to grab your pokemon" said Jessie. "You're not taking our pokemon anywhere!" said
Misty. "Sorry twerpette, but you don't have a choice," said Jessie "besides I have the gadget which can set you free, but you aren't getting it". "That's what you think" smirked Ash. He used his psychic power to get the device from Jessie's hands and gave it to Pikachu. Pikachu was awake and could easily press the button on the gadget, and then the gang were free. "No way!" gasped Jessie. "How did that happen?" asked James. Jessie and James didn't realise that Ash had psychic abilities. Ash released Dunsparce from his pokeball and had it use glare on Team Rocket. Jessie, James and Meowth were paralyzed and couldn't move. The gang used this chance to escape.
At that moment Lance arrived on the scene. "I warned you kids not to come back to Lake of Rage" he said. "We are sorry Lance," said Ash "but we couldn't allow Team Rocket to get away with their pokemon evolving experiment. Nor could we let them continue of doing cruel things to the red Gyarados". "That's right," said Tomo "we hate Team Rocket as much as you do". "I understand" said Lance. He stared at the hideout. "If we destroy this place, we can destroy Team Rocket's machine". He ordered his Dragonite to attack the hideout with hyper beam. The hideout got destroyed at once by the hyper beam attacks. Then Lance and the gang got into the car to get to Mahogany Town. "Team Rocket must be at their headquarters in Mahogany Town by now" said Lance. "You better step on it Lance" said Ash. Lance agreed with Ash and started to drive fast at once.
Meanwhile Tyson, Dr Sebastian and the agents arrived at their hideout in Mahogany Town. Dr Sebastian took off in another helicopter to get some things ready for the red Gyarados. Just then Tyson got a phone call from Jessie and James, and they told him that the kids escaped and about Lance destroying the hideout at Lake of Rage. Of course Tyson was furious with the report, and said that he will deal with the situation himself. One of his men told him that the helicopters were ready to transport the red Gyarados and then Tyson gave the command to start.
Meanwhile Jessie, James and Meowth, who had fully recovered from their paralysis, tried to think what to do now. "Should we go and help Tyson with the red Gyarados?" asked Meowth. "I don't think that there is any need, because Tyson is strong and smart," said Jessie "besides I don't really want to go anywhere near that Gyarados". James and Meowth didn't want to either. "I suggest we go to another area to find different pokemon" said James. Jessie and Meowth agreed to James's idea and they left Lake of Rage.
At that time, Team Rocket were flying in the helicopters, carrying the red Gyarados in the net. Just then the red Gyarados woke and began struggling in the net, causing the helicopters to get out of control. The evolution inducement beam was wearing off on Gyarados, so the red Gyarados was no longer weak. The pilots were having trouble of controlling the helicopters, and then the red Gyarados made them fall into the river. Gyarados escaped from the net, attacked Team Rocket's warehouse and vehicles with hydro pump, and started to swim down the river. Tyson ordered his men to go after it at once. "The red Gyarados must not escape" he said.
Meanwhile Lance and the gang were still catching up in the van. Ash was switching his Croconaw for his Gyarados; he decided that Gyarados would be the best help for this mission. Suddenly they saw the red Gyarados swimming down the river. "It must have escaped from Team Rocket" said Brock. "That's good to know" said Misty. Lance drove up the car near to the red Gyarados and then stopped it, and everyone got out of the car. "I think the red Gyarados is heading to the town" said Brock. Gyarados was roaring like crazy and was firing hydro pump like crazy. "That Gyarados is out of control with rage" said Lance. "We have to go after it and stop it, otherwise Mahogany Town will be in danger" said Ash. The others agreed with Ash and so did Lance. Lance released his Dragonite for help.
Lance and the gang were just about to run after the red Gyarados, but Tyson and his men showed up. Tyson intended to deal with Lance for destroying the lab. He ordered his men to continue going after the red Gyarados. Ash and the others went ahead to help Gyarados, leaving Lance with Tyson. "You will pay for meddling with my plans" said Tyson. "Those who cruelly force pokemon to evolve, like you, deserve to be stopped" said Lance. Lance got his Dragonite ready to fight and Tyson released two Fearow to battle.
Meanwhile Tyson's grunts caught the red Gyarados in a net and shocked it. Ash and the gang arrived at the scene, and Ash had his Flaffy cut Gyarados free from the net with swift. The rocket grunts planned to take care of the gang, but the red Gyarados woke up and sent the grunts flying with hyper beam.
As soon as the grunts were gone, the red Gyarados continued swimming down the river and kept on firing hydro pump. "Gyarados is really angry, I sense it" said Ash. "It's because of Team Rocket," said Brock "I mean they forced it to evolve from Magikarp, and then they've kept on trying to capture it for experiments. So it's no wonder that it's filled with rage". "Yeah, it's Team Rocket's fault that the red Gyarados is like this" said Tomo. "What should we do?" asked Misty. "We follow it" said Ash. He released his Gyarados from her pokeball and they all went after the red Gyarados.
Back with Lance and Tyson, Tyson ordered his Fearows to fight Dragonite with fury attack. Lance ordered Dragonite to dodge and attack the Fearows with wing attack. Dragonite dodged the Fearow's beaks, and then struck the Fearows with wing attack. "Use hyper beam Fearows" said Tyson. "You too Dragonite" said Lance. The three hyper beam attacks collided with each other. Then Tyson ordered his Fearows to use agility and peck all together. Thanks to the speed of agility, the Fearows were able to hit Dragonite with their peck attacks. "Dragonite use twister" said Lance. Dragonite created a strong twister from its wings, and then the two Fearows got hit and trapped by the twister attack. The Fearows fainted from the twister attack. Then suddenly, Officer Jenny and her men arrived on the scene and arrested Tyson. "You caused trouble around here for the last time" Officer Jenny said to Tyson. Lance was relieved that Tyson was now going to jail, and then he went to red if the red Gyarados and the kids were all right.
At the time, the red Gyarados continued swimming towards Mahogany Town. Ash ordered his Gyarados to stop the red Gyarados in its tracks with dragon rage. "Gyarados don't let that red Gyarados near the town" said Ash. Ash's Gyarados roared to get the red Gyarados attention. The red Gyarados roared back and started to chase her. "Good, now lure the red Gyarados away from Mahogany Town" said Ash. Ash's Gyarados lured the red Gyarados back upstream. "Now what?" asked Misty.
Lance had the answer to Misty's question. "I'll fight Gyarados now and capture it" he said. The gang were surprised that Lance was going to fight the red Gyarados, but Ash understood and returned his Gyarados. "Save the Gyarados from its misery Lance, but try not to harm it so much" said Ash. Lance nodded. He had Dragonite attack the red Gyarados with thunder wave to paralyse it, and then ordered it to use twister. The red Gyarados got hurt by the thunder wave and twister attacks. The red Gyarados fought back with hyper beam. Dragonite dodged the hyper beam attack and then used its own hyper beam attack on Gyarados. The red Gyarados fainted from the hyper beam attack and Lance captured it in a pokeball. "Take good care of it Lance" said Ash. "I will," replied Lance "and I will help it get over its rage, sorrow and pain. And we will become friends". The gang knew that Lance was just the man to take care of the red Gyarados.
After Tyson and his men were arrested, Officer Jenny thanked Lance and the gang for their help, and then she left to continue her investigation. Lance and the gang said to goodbye to each other, and then Lance rode away on his Dragonite back to the Pokemon G-men headquarters. And the gang went onto Mahogany Town.
I'm sorry if everyone thought that Ash or Misty was going to catch the red Gyarados, but I always liked Lance having it. I don't know anything about all of you readers, but I always thought that Jessie, James and Meowth were a bit too stupid in the anime. I mean they always got in the way of all of Team Rocket's plans. They never thought through before they did anything and they never realised Team Rocket's own hide outs. So that's why I've made them smarter in this story.
