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 53
The Dragon's Den, Blackthorn Gym
And Wynaut
Ash and the gang were on the way to Blackthorn City, where Ash could earn his last gym badge for the Johto League. Along the way they had run into some adventures. First they ran into a fire pokemon trainer named Egan, who loved fire pokemon very much, and he had a Flareon and a Magcargo. Next they came across a mysterious lake that electric pokemon always gathered to, and in the process they met a wild Zapdos, and the gang swore to never tell anyone about this. And last of all they encountered the icy path, which was a very long icy cave filled with lots ice pokemon. But now they were getting near to Blackthorn City.
Just then they saw a Dratini sleeping on the ground next to a lake. "Hey what is it doing there all by itself?" asked Ash. Just then a Gyarados popped out of the lake and fired a hydro pump attack at them. "Hey what did you do that for?" commanded Ash. A blue haired woman came up and answered Ash's question. "I apologize for that, my Gyarados protects my Dratini whenever there are strangers about" she said, and returned Gyarados to its pokeball. Ash understood and introduced himself to the woman. Tomo, Misty and Brock introduced themselves as well. The woman introduced herself as Clair, the gym leader of the gym in Blackthorn City. When Ash heard that Clair was the gym leader, he asked if he could challenge her to a gym battle. "I gladly accept your challenge Ash," said Claire "but I have to perform an important ritual today, before I can accept any gym challengers first". "What important ritual is that?" asked Brock. "I can answer that question" said a voice behind them.
The voice belonged to an old man and he was carrying a green rucksack on his back. "My name is Kaburagi," said the man "and I'm Clair's assistant at the gym". Kaburagi explained that Clair had to take the old dragon fang to the dragon's den. He showed them a very old dragon fang from his rucksack. "Hey I read one time that a dragon fang can power up dragon type moves" said Ash. "That is correct," said Kaburagi "and this old dragon fang is a priceless treasure to the Blackthorn Gym". He explained that the old dragon fang had been in the Blackthorn Gym ever since the first gym leader. "It's a tradition that the gym leader of Blackthorn Gym takes this old dragon fang to the shrine that's in the dragon's den, and perform a special ritual in there". The gang was fascinated by this. Just then Ash asked Clair if they could watch the ritual. "Yeah could we?" asked Misty "it sounds exciting to watch". Clair and Kaburagi saw nothing wrong with that and allowed the gang to join them.
So Clair and Kaburagi led the gang the way to the dragon's den. The dragon's den was located just outside Blackthorn City. Along the way Clair revealed that Lance of the elite four was her cousin, what made the gang very surprised indeed, and the gang told Clair about their meeting with Lance outside Mahogany Town. Soon they reached a lake, and the entrance to the dragon's den was on the other side of the lake, in the cliffs. Clair sent out her Gyarados and everyone got onto its back to cross the lake and into dragon's den.
The dragon's den was a very dark cave. Ash sent out Lanturn to light up the way. The other problem was there were some whirlpools in the dragon's den. Misty sent out her Staryu to deal with the whirlpools with whirlpool attack. Soon they were getting near the shrine, which stood in the middle of the dragon's den. "I take it Lance has been here as well right Clair?" asked Ash. "That's correct Ash," said Clair "all dragon type trainers come here to pray for all the dragon type trainers of the past to guide them on their quests. So both Lance and I have prayed here to have our quests, being great dragon type trainers, be successful". "I see" said Ash.
Finally they reached the shrine of the dragon's den. Suddenly three old men ran out of the shrine; they were the priests of the shrine. "Oh Clair we are glad you are here" one of them said. "Has something happened?" asked Clair. One of the priests explained that they were getting the shrine ready for Clair's ritual, but then a thief broke into the shrine and stole all the dragon fangs from the master of the dragon clan. "Oh my!" gasped Kaburagi "I'm glad that this thief hadn't stolen the old dragon fang". "Is the master okay?" asked Clair. "Oh he's alright," answered one of the priests "he's just in a bit of a shock from the attack". Clair ran into the shrine to see if the master was okay and Kaburagi and the gang followed.
The inside of the shrine was in a mess; scrolls were over the floor, boxes on the floor and some statues knocked over. Clair ran over to the master, who was an old man, to see if he was okay. The master of the dragon clan was in charge of the dragon's den shrine and he was also a teacher to those who wanted to become dragon pokemon trainers. The master was okay, but he was cross that the dragon fangs had been stolen. "You must get those dragon fangs' back," he said to Clair "the thief plans to sell them to make money and he can't do that". "Don't worry master," said Clair "I'll go get them back at once". The gang offered to help and Clair accepted, and they all got back to Gyarados to go after the thief. Kaburagi stayed behind to help the priests and master tidy up the shrine.
Meanwhile the thief who was a man wearing a black jacket was in a motor boat, on the lake. "I did good stealing those dragon fangs" he laughed. He drove the motor boat to the shore of the lake and placed down his bag of things down on the grass to look at them. Apart from stealing dragon fangs; he had also stolen other items that powered up a pokemon's moves, like charcoals for fire types, magnets for electric types etc. "I'll be getting a lot of money by selling this lot" he said.
At that moment, Clair and the gang arrived. "Stop right there thief!" shouted Clair "dive back those dragon fangs!" "Not a chance girl," said the thief "I need these for making money". He started to run off. "Oh no you don't!" shouted Ash. He and Tomo commanded Pikachu and Growlithe to go after the thief, while they also gave chase. The thief noticed the pokemon following him and sent out a Primeape to deal with them. The gang saw the Primeape and then Clair sent out her Dratini to battle it. "I'll deal with Primeape, you kids continue chasing the thief" she said.
While Ash and the gang ran after the thief, Clair challenged the Primeape. She commanded Dratini to use thunder wave on Primeape. Primeape got hit by the attack and became paralyzed, but it didn't give up on fighting. Primeape hit Dratini with karate chop. "Dratini attack with slam" said Clair. Dratini slammed into Primeape really hard. "Well done Dratini".
Suddenly Dratini started to glow and then it evolved into Dragonair. Clair was amazed by her pokemon's evolution, but she concentrated on Primeape. "Use twister Dragonair" she said. Dragonair created a tornado from its tail and sent it at Primeape. Prime fainted from the twister attack. "Good job Dragonair," said Clair "now we must catch up to the thief". She got onto Dragonair's black and they flew into the sky to catch up to the thief.
At that time Ash and the gang were still chasing after the thief. "Grrr these kids are getting on my nerves" the thief said to himself. He was about to throw another pokemon out of a pokeball to hold the gang off, but then he was stopped in his tracks by a thunder wave attack. Clair and Dragonair had arrived. The gang were surprised to see Dragonair. "Her Dratini must have evolved" said Brock. Clair ordered her Dragonair to use ice beam at the thief. Dragonair fired an ice beam at the thief's feet and the thief's feet got trapped in a block of ice, so the thief couldn't escape. Ash took the thief's bag of loot from him and Brock ran to get the police. "Stealing from a shrine is unforgivable," Clair said to the thief "and I will be taking those dragon fangs back to the shrine".
Soon the police were on the scene and they arrested the thief. "I'm glad you were able to catch this thief," said Officer Jenny "this guy buys and steals things and then he sells them for unfair prices to trainers". Everyone had a look at all the things that the thief had in his bag. Apart from charcoals, dragon fangs and magnets, the thief had black glasses, miracle seeds, black belts, never-melt ices, hard stones, mystic water pendants, metal coats, poison barbs, silk scarves, sharp beaks, silver powders, soft sands, twisted spoons and spell tags. "Wow, all of these are items used to power up a pokemon's moves" said Brock. Clair picked up all the dragon fangs. "The master will be happy to know that the dragon fangs are all okay" she said. The gang stared at the other items and asked Officer Jenny if the other things had been stolen. "No all the other things had been brought fairly," Officer Jenny answered "so I guess I can take all the other stuff to Nurse Joy and she could figure out what to do with them. But before I do that you four trainers can help yourselves to any of the stuff". "What, can we?" asked Misty. "Course you can, besides you earned the rights for these things because of your help capturing the thief" said Officer Jenny. The gang were delighted with their reward and picked out what they wanted at once. Ash picked out one each of all the items, except the metal coat and mystic water pendant because he already had them, and Tomo picked all the items as well. Misty picked up a never-melt ice and two mystic water pendants; she wanted one to wear round her neck all the time. Brock picked up a hard stone and a soft sound. "Wow, this saved us a lot of trouble of having to search and buy these in shops" said Ash, placing his stuff into his back pack. "I agree" said Misty, and she placed her mystic water pendant around her neck at once. Officer Jenny thanked Clair and the gang again, and then she and her men left with the thief.
Clair and the gang went back to the shrine and returned the dragon fangs at once. The shrine was now all tidy again by the time. The master and priests were happy to have the dragon fangs returned, and they thanked Clair and the gang at once. Clair told Kaburagi about her Dratini's evolution and Kaburagi was happy for her. Just then Kaburagi said that now it was time for Clair to perform the ritual.
Clair knelt down in front of the shrine, and held the old dragon fang in her hands. The master and priests were kneeling at the sides, doing a prayer, and Kaburagi and the gang watched from behind. Clair said a little prayer and then the old dragon fang began to glow. "May you continue to watch over future dragon type trainers always" said Clair. Then the glow stopped; the ritual was now complete. "What happened?" asked Tomo. Kaburagi explained that the legend says that the past dragon type trainers and gym leaders look down on the present dragon trainers and gym leaders. And that the ritual was to pray to them to continue watching over them and to watch over future dragon type trainers.
After the ritual was over, Clair, Kaburagi and the gang headed to Blackthorn City. "Ash, you and I will have our gym battle tomorrow" said Clair. "I can't wait for it Clair" replied Ash.
The next day it was now time for Ash to battle Clair and earn his final gym badge. "Even though this will be my twentieth gym battle, this will be my first dragon type gym battle" said Ash. "You're right about that Ash;" said Brock "truth is you hardly get any gyms that use dragon type pokemon. You normally get the usual water, grass or fire type gyms". "What pokemon are you going to use Ash?" asked Misty "I mean dragon type pokemon aren't the easiest pokemon to beat you know". "I'm using Croconaw and Lanturn," said Ash "and I've got an old dragon friend of mine to battle as well". "You mean you're using your Dragonite in this battle?" asked Brock. "That's correct Brock" smiled Ash. "Awe I can't wait to see that" said Tomo.
They soon came to the Blackthorn Gym. The Blackthorn Gym was huge; the size of a mansion. Kaburagi welcomed the gang and led them to the gym's battlefield, where Clair was waiting for them. The battlefield was big as well and there was a pool for water pokemon in the middle. "I take it you're ready for our gym challenge huh Ash?" asked Clair. "Yes Clair I am" said Ash, confidently. Tomo, Misty and Brock took their place behind Ash. "I wonder if Ash will be okay against a dragon type gym" said Brock. "Big brother will win," said Tomo "I mean he has dealt with dragon types before". "You're right about that Tomo, he has" said Misty. She remembered when Ash dealt with a Dragonite in the Orange Islands and defeated a Kingdra in the Whirl Cup. Brock remembered too and started to believe that Ash would be okay. Kaburagi served as the gym referee and explained that the match was a three on three pokemon battle, and the first to knock out three pokemon wins. Then he declared the match to begin.
Clair sent out her first pokemon; a Kingdra. Ash sent out Croconaw. "This is like the Whirl Cup" said Misty, remembering when Ash's Croconaw went up against a Kingdra in the Whirl Cup. "All right Croconaw let's use dragon claw" said Ash. Croconaw charged at Kingdra to scratch it. "Kingdra dodge with agility" said Clair. Kingdra dodged Croconaw's dragon claw attack. "Try to attack Kingdra with crunch Croconaw" said Ash. Croconaw tried to bite down on Kingdra, with his jaws, but Kingdra kept on dodging Croconaw. "Attack the Croconaw with hydro pump Kingdra" said Clair. Ash commanded Croconaw to fight back with his own hydro pump attack. The two hydro pump attacks collided like crazy, and then both Croconaw and Kingdra got hit by the hydro pump attacks. "Croconaw use dragon claw now" said Ash. Croconaw scratched Kingdra good with his dragon claw attack and Kingdra got hurt. "It's a good thing that Croconaw does know the dragon move, dragon claw," said Brock "because dragon beats dragon". "You're right" smiled Misty. Then Ash had Croconaw use focus punch on Kingdra. Kingdra got punched really hard and then fainted. "Kingdra is unable to battle," said Kaburagi "Croconaw is the winner of this round". "Way to go Croconaw" said Ash. Tomo was cheering for Ash's first victory. "I have to say, Croconaw is certainly a lot stronger than it was as a Totodile" said Brock. "Wait till he becomes a Feraligatr," said Misty "he will become stronger then".
Clair returned Kingdra and sent out her next pokemon; a Gyarados. "Croconaw, you still all right to battle?" asked Ash. Croconaw was okay. "Use ice fang". Croconaw charged to bite Gyarados with ice fang. "Gyarados fight back with dragon breath" said Clair. Gyarados fired a blue-green flame, from its mouth, at Croconaw. Ash tried to have Croconaw dodge the attack, but Croconaw got hit by the attack and he became paralysed. The move dragon breath had the ability to paralyze the target. "Oh no being paralyzed will be trouble for Croconaw," said Ash "Croconaw try to use hydro pump". Croconaw tried to open his mouth to release a hydro pump attack, but his paralyses prevented him from doing so. "Gyarados attack now with hyper beam" said Clair. Gyarados fired hyper beam at Croconaw, and Croconaw got hit by it before he had the chance to dodge it, and then Croconaw fainted. "Croconaw is unable to battle," said Kaburagi "this round goes to Gyarados".
Ash returned Croconaw and sent out his next pokemon, Lanturn. "Lanturn's a good choice," said Brock "its electric attacks will easily defeat Gyarados, a water and flying type". "Yes, but don't forget," said Misty "Gyarados is the type of water pokemon that would never give up, no matter what opponent is facing". Brock and Tomo knew that Misty was right. But they all knew that Ash was the type of human, who would never give up in a fight no matter what opponent he was facing.
Clair commanded her Gyarados to use bite on Lanturn. Ash commanded Lanturn to dodge Gyarados with agility and use thunderbolt to attack. Thanks to agility, Lanturn dodged Gyarados easily and then he shocked Gyarados well with thunderbolt. But Gyarados wasn't defeated yet. "Gyarados use hydro pump" said Clair. Ash commanded to use ice beam at the hydro pump. When the hydro pump and ice beam collided with each other, the hydro pump turned into ice and broke apart over the gym floor. "Now Lanturn use thunderbolt again" said Ash. Lanturn fired thunderbolt at Gyarados again, and this time Gyarados fainted from the attack. "Gyarados is unable to battle," said Kaburagi "this round goes to Lanturn". Tomo was cheering for Ash's won. "Now Clair only has one pokemon left" said Misty. "Yes but her last pokemon is Dragonair" said Brock. "I don't think you need to worry Brock," said Misty "Lanturn knows the move ice beam and dragon pokemon can't handle ice type moves". "Yes you're right" said Brock.
Clair returned Gyarados and sent out Dragonair. "Let's see how you'll do against my Dragonair Ash" she said. "I'm ready for this," said Ash "Lanturn use ice beam". Lanturn fired ice beam at Dragonair. "Use flamethrower Dragonair" said Clair. Dragonair blew a flamethrower at the ice beam attack and the ice beam melted. "Sorry Ash," said Clair "but I had a feeling you would use ice type attacks. So I had my Dragonair learn flamethrower to counter attack ice type attacks". "Clair is smart," said Ash "but I'm not giving up. Use bubblebeam Lanturn". Lanturn fired lots of bubbles at Dragonair, but Dragonair dodged the attack, and then fired hyper beam at Lanturn. Lanturn got hit by the hyper beam and was hurt. Then Clair ordered Dragonair to use iron tail. Again Lanturn got hit by the attack and then he fainted. "Lanturn is unable to battle," said Kaburagi "Dragonair wins this round".
Ash returned Lanturn. "Defeating that Dragonair sure won't be easy" said Misty. "Yeah, especially since it knows flamethrower to defend itself against ice attacks" said Brock. Ash sent out Dragonite to battle now. "I can't wait to see these two dragons fighting each other" said Tomo, excitedly. Misty and Brock couldn't either as seeing two dragon pokemon battling each other was an exciting event. Just then the roof of the gym started to come off. "What's going on?" asked Ash. Kaburagi explained that having the roof off meant that flying types can easily fly around the battle field. Since Dragonair and Dragonite can fly; having the roof off would be easier for them to fly about.
Clair commanded her Dragonair to use hyper beam at Dragonite. Ash commanded his Dragonite to dodge the attack, and she did. "Okay Dragonite use dragon pulse". Dragonite fired a dragon pulse attack from her mouth and Dragonair got hit by it. "Dragonair take to the sky now" said Clair. Dragonair got out of the pool and into the air. "Now use iron tail". Dragonair's tail glowed and it got ready to strike Dragonite, but Ash had Dragonite counter the attack with dragon tail. The two dragons were clashing at each other with their tails. "This is some battle," said Brock "I mean I have never seen dragon pokemon fight like this before". Misty and Tomo hadn't either. Ash commanded Dragonite to use extreme speed and Dragonite charged into Dragonair really hard. "Don't give up Dragonair, use dragon rage" said Clair. Dragonair fired a big blue orb of energy at Dragonite and Dragonite got hit by it. "Hang in there Dragonite" said Ash. Just then Dragonite's body got surrounded by a blue and white dragon shaped energy, and then she slammed into Dragonair really hard. "Wow, what was that?" asked Misty. "That was dragon rush," said Brock "it's one of the strongest dragon type moves". Ash was happy that Dragonite learnt how to use dragon rush. Because of Dragonite's new dragon type move, Clair's Dragonair couldn't battle anymore and fainted. "Dragonair is unable to battle," said Kaburagi "Dragonite is the winner of this match, and the winner of this gym battle is Ash".
Ash was happy for his victory and hugged Dragonite at once. Tomo, Misty and Brock ran over to Ash at once and congratulated him at once. "You and your pokemon were great out there" said Misty. "Yeah especially since Dragon type pokemon like Dragonair are not the easiest to beat" said Brock. "You were great big brother" said Tomo, hugging Ash. Clair and Kaburagi walked over to Ash. "Ash, that was the greatest battle that I've ever had in life" said Clair. "Yes you are one impressive trainer" said Kaburagi. "Thank you" said Ash. "So Ash I now give you the Rising Badge as proof of your victory" said Clair. The Rising Badge was red and black and was shaped like a dragon's face. Ash thanked Clair and accepted his gym badge at once.
That evening Ash had his pokemon healed at the pokemon center and had sent Dragonite back to Prof Oak. "It was a good idea to use Dragonite in the gym battle Ash" said Brock. "I know," said Ash "especially since dragon pokemon can only be beaten by dragon types and ice types". "Yes and now you can register for the Johto League" said Misty. Misty was right; Ash now had eight gym badges. "I wonder where the Johto League is being held though" said Ash. He didn't know where it was. "Let's find out tomorrow," suggested Brock "we need to go to bed now, especially you Ash". Ash was pretty tired from today, so he and the others fell asleep in the pokemon centre's rooms.
The next day, Ash and the gang were having breakfast with Clair at her gym. Ash asked Clair if she knew where the Johto League was being held. Sure enough Clair did know. She explained that the Johto League, called the Silver Conference, was to be held in three months' time at Mt Silver. "How do we get there?" asked Brock. "I'm afraid I don't know," said Clair "but I suggest you go and see Prof Elm in New Bark Town. He will probably know". The gang thought that was a great idea and asked Clair for directions to get to New Bark Town from Blackthorn City.
Suddenly Growlithe started to bark at the bushes. "What's wrong Growlithe?" asked Tomo. Growlithe started to run towards the bushes and Tomo followed him. When they reached the bushes and looked behind it, they found something shocking. There was a blue pokemon, with a black tail, that nearly looked like a Wobbuffet, only smaller, panting heavily on the ground. "Ash, come here quickly!" he called out to Ash. Ash, Clair and the others rushed over to see what was wrong and saw the pokemon. Brock knelt down to check over the pokemon at once. "This pokemon has got a high fever," he said "we must get it to the pokemon centre at once". He picked up the pokemon and he and the others rushed over to the pokemon center.
At the pokemon centre, Nurse Joy tended to the pokemon at once. She explained that the pokemon was called a Wynaut. "It's a good thing you found Wynaut and brought it here at once," she said "otherwise the fever would have put it in a worse condition".
Ash looked at Wynaut on the pokedex: Wynaut, the bright pokemon. The pre-evolved form of Wobbuffet. It tends to move in a pack with others and it loves eating sweet fruits.
"Wow so Wynaut evolves into Wobbuffet" said Misty. The gang decided to leave the emergency room to plan what to do now. So they left the emergency room, leaving Nurse Joy and Chansey tending to Wynaut.
In the hallway of the pokemon centre, the gang found out on a computer that Wynaut were usually found in the Hoenn region. "Wow it's amazing that we have seen two Hoenn pokemon here in Johto" said Ash. "You're right," said Brock "I remember Alexa's pokemon Kecleon, which is usually seen in Hoenn". "Seeing Hoenn pokemon has made me decided that I am definitely going to visit the Hoenn Region after I finish the Johto League" said Ash. "And I'm coming too" said Tomo. "Of course" smiled Ash.
Just then Nurse Joy came up to the group and told them that Wynaut's fever has broken. The gang were relieved that Wynaut will be okay now. Tomo asked Ash if they could stay at the pokemon center until Wynaut was better, because he was fond of Wynaut and wanted to watch it become fully healed. Ash could see that Tomo was worried about Wynaut and he and Misty and Brock agreed about staying at the pokemon center. So for the rest of the day, Ash and the gang stayed at the pokemon center. Ash and Tomo were talking to their mum on the phone to let her know how their journey has been, and then they talked to Prof Oak about their journey. Misty called her sisters to check to see how everything has been going and to know how her pokemon are doing. Brock was calling his family to know how things are going.
In no time at all Wynaut was fully recovered from its fever. Clair and the gang were happy to know that the Wynaut was okay, especially Tomo. Tomo walked over to the Wynaut and rubbed its head, and then he asked Wynaut if it would like to come with him. "I think you are an amazing pokemon, and I would like you to be on my pokemon team". Wynaut stared at Tomo and accept his request. But Wynaut had one request; it wanted Tomo to battle it and Tomo accept the battle request.
Tomo and Wynaut went outside to battle, as fighting was not allowed in the pokemon center. The others and Clair went outside too to watch the battle. "I hope Tomo will be okay," said Misty "I mean since Wynaut is the pre-evolution of Wobbuffet, this pokemon may be tricky". "He'll be fine Misty," said Ash "Tomo knows how to battle well, and he knows all about Wobbuffet so he shouldn't have problems with Wynaut". "I agree with Ash" said Brock. Tomo had Growlithe battle Wynaut. "We must be careful Growlithe," said Tomo "Wynaut will only use counter and mirror coat, so this will be difficult". Growlithe nodded. Tomo ordered Growlithe to attack Wynaut with flamethrower, but Wynaut used mirror coat to counter it, and when Growlithe tried to use bite attack, Wynaut would use counter against it. "Now this is tricky" said Tomo, worriedly. But then he had an idea. He ordered Growlithe to use double team and then ordered it to use flamethrower again. Wynaut did use mirror coat to counter it, but then Growlithe struck Wynaut with flame wheel. The gang were amazed by that. "What happened?" asked Misty. "I know," said Brock "double team and flamethrower were to distract Wynaut, giving Growlithe the chance to strike Wynaut with flame wheel. There's no doubt that Tomo is a great trainer". Ash and Misty agreed. The flame wheel attack made Wynaut weak and Tomo caught it in his friend ball. "All right I've caught Wynaut" Tomo cheered. Clair and Ash, Misty and Brock congratulated him for his capture.
Now that Wynaut was captured, the gang decided it was now time to leave Blackthorn City for New Bark Town. Clair told the gang to follow the path towards the sea, and then they could take a boat to New Bark Town. The gang thanked Clair, said goodbye to her and left Blackthorn City.
I know fairy type pokemon beat dragon as well, but I did say that fairy pokemon don't exist in my story as I'm not doing Kalos. I decided to have Ash and Tomo get all the items because I couldn't make up my mind of what Tomo should have. I planned that Misty would get her own mystic water pendant this way and I decided that Brock should only get the hard stone and soft sand because of Pewter Gym. The thief is my own character. I always think they made Ash too unprepared when he first battled Clair and he shouldn't have been because he has battled dragon pokemon before and he would know how tough they are. I'm going to work on the pokemon movie pokemon heroes now, so be patient and wait for the next chapter.
