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. I do not own pokemon.
Note: I am not doing the Kalos Region. So fairy pokemon and Mega Evolutions don't exist.
Chapter 114
Ash's Gym Battle,
The Sinnoh Underground
And the Shiny Chimchar
At last it was Ash's turn to face Roark for the Coal Badge. Yesterday Ash had some training done with Riolu, Piplup and Masquerain. Dawn also showed Ash, Tomo and Brock her special move the spin. She demonstrated with her Piplup and what happens is Piplup jumps and spins and thanks to the spin he gains speed to dodge an attack. Ash liked that and practiced that with Dawn and his pokemon because he found it very helpful. So today Ash was ready. Ash and Roark were in their places on the battlefield. Pikachu and Riolu stayed next to Ash, and Dawn, Tomo and Brock sat in the seats. Dawn was dressed in a pink cheering outfit with some pink pom-poms to cheer for Ash; she was the type of girl who would cheer her friends on. Piplup, Buneary and Burmy were holding pom-poms to cheer too.
Roark sent out his Onix first and Ash sent out his Masquerain. "Masquerain use bubble beam" said Ash. "Use screech Onix" said Roark. As Masquerain blew a lot of bubbles, Onix used screech to break the bubbles apart. "Move with agility and then into steel wing Masquerain" said Ash. Thanks to the speed of agility, Masquerain wasn't put off by screech and then she struck Onix with steel wing. "Nice" said Dawn, who was impressed. Roark was impressed too. Onix tried to slam Masquerain, but Masquerain was too fast for Onix to hit her. "Now Masquerain use hydro pump" said Ash. Masquerain blasted hydro pump and Onix got hit by it, receiving a lot of damage. "That hydro pump was amazing" said Dawn. "Hydro pump is one of the strongest water type moves" said Brock. Piplup was amazed by the hydro pump attack and hoped to learn it one day. Even though Onix was hurt by the hydro pump attack it could still continue to fight. "As you can see Ash I train my pokemon during my free time" said Roark. Ash could see that, seeing how strong Onix was. "Onix double edge". "Steel wing Masquerain" said Ash. Onix and Masquerain collided with each other with their attacks. Masquerain got tackled hard but wasn't beaten yet. As for Onix it got struck hard by Masquerain's steel wing attack and fainted, giving Ash the first win.
"Wow Ash is good at this" said Dawn. "It as we said to you before Dawn," said Brock "Ash has battled gyms 28 times so de does know what to expect with gym leaders and their pokemon". Seeing this made Dawn understand that Ash was good with gym battles. Roark returned Onix and sent out Geodude next. Ash returned Masquerain and sent out Riolu next. "Why did Ash return Masquerain?" asked Dawn. "It's so Masquerain can rest a bit after battling Onix," said Brock "it's not good for pokemon to keep on battling if their tired from battling a strong opponent". Dawn saw that Brock was right and didn't question anymore.
Ash started off by telling Riolu to use aura sphere, but Geodude dodged it and started to use roll out. "Dodge Geodude Riolu" said Ash. Riolu jumped and flipped to avoid Geodude. "Now bullet punch". Riolu's fists glowed blue and he multiply punched Geodude. Brock pointed out that bullet punch was a steel type move and Geodude would get a lot of damage from that. Geodude grabbed Riolu and use seismic toss. "You okay Riolu?" asked Ash. 'I'm fine papa' said Riolu. "Okay then use aura sphere" said Ash. Riolu fired an aura sphere attack and Geodude got hit by it. Geodude couldn't take anymore after that and fainted, giving Ash the second win.
"A second win" said Dawn. "That Riolu of Ash's is something, even if he is still young" said Brock. "Well done Riolu" said Ash. 'Thank you papa' said Riolu. Roark returned his Geodude. "Ash you are quite the challenger, but don't forget about my third pokemon" he said. "I haven't forgotten about your Rampardos Roark" said Ash. Roark sent out his Rampardos. Ash returned Riolu and sent out Masquerain again to battle. "I thought Ash would use his Piplup now" said Dawn. "He'll be using Piplup later," said Brock "you see Dawn Masquerain still has some energy left to battle. And when it comes to battles you sometimes have to use pokemon that still have energy left before using a pokemon that has lots of energy. That way you won't be in that much of a pinch when you're down to the opponent's final pokemon". "Oh" said Dawn; she was learning a lot of things already, despite the gang only being at the first gym.
Ash started off by telling Masquerain to use hydro pump. "Dodge and use head smash Rampardos" said Roark. Rampardos dodged the hydro pump attack and then charged into Masquerain with its head. As head smash was a rock type move, Masquerain took a lot of damage as she was both bug and flying type. That attack was too much for her and she fainted. So Roark won this round, leaving Ash with two pokemon left.
"Wow that Rampardos is strong" said Dawn, in surprise. "It's a lot stronger than it was as a Cranidos," agreed Brock "that's evolution for you". Tomo thought Rampardos was really amazing. Ash returned Masquerain and turned to Riolu. "Are you okay with fighting again Riolu?" he asked. 'I am papa' said Riolu. So Riolu was sent out next.
Ash ordered Riolu to use aura sphere, but Rampardos dodged it and got ready to use zen headbutt. "Quick dodge that with quick attack" said Ash. Thanks to quick attack, Riolu was able to dodge before Rampardos could headbutt him. "Aura sphere again Riolu" said Ash. Riolu fired aura sphere again and this time Rampardos got hit by it, but it didn't do as much damage. Rampardos was stronger than Riolu and Riolu was still a bit young. Rampardos then moved with zen headbutt and Riolu got hit by it and fainted. So Ash only had one pokemon left.
Ash ran over to Riolu. "Are you alright Riolu?" he asked, picking up Riolu. 'Sorry Papa, I lost' said Riolu. "It's alright," said Ash "you did very well for your first gym battle. Now you rest". Ash walked back to his side and placed Riolu next to Pikachu and Pikachu comforted Riolu to see if he was okay. Then Ash sent out his Piplup to battle now. "I hope Piplup will be able to defeat that Rampardos, since it easily defeated Masquerain and Riolu" said Dawn, worriedly. Tomo and Brock felt a little bit worried too because of how strong Roark's Rampardos was.
Roark started by telling Rampardos to use headbutt. "Rain dance Piplup" said Ash. Piplup chirped loudly, summoned some dark grey clouds and made it rain. The rain put Rampardos off a bit. "That's one good thing about rain dance," said Brock "not only does it power up water type moves, it also puts off rock, ground and fire type pokemon from fighting as they hate water". Piplup then moved in with bubble beam and Rampardos got hit by the bubbles. Thanks to rain dance the bubble beam move was stronger than normal. Rampardos did get hit well but it could still fight. "Rampardos use zen headbutt" said Roark. Rampardos charged towards Piplup to use zen headbutt, but Piplup used the spinning move Dawn showed Ash and his pokemon to dodge being hit by Rampardos. "Our special training with my new spinning move paid off" said Dawn, happily. Roark was impressed with that move. Piplup then attacked attack again with bubble beam and Rampardos got hit by the bubbles. "Now move in with steel wing Piplup" said Ash. Piplup struck Rampardos with steel wing; this made Roark surprised because he had seen a Piplup using steel wing. After taking a hit from that steel type move Rampardos couldn't take anymore and fainted. So Ash was the winner of the gym battle.
"Wow Ash did it" said Dawn. "See Dawn, it's like we said," said Tomo "Ash knows how to handle gym battles because of all the gym battles he's been in the past". Dawn understood that Tomo and Brock were right about Ash. Roark returned his Rampardos and walked up to Ash. "Ash you and your pokemon gave me an exciting battle" he said, and he handed Ash his Coal Badge. Ash and Tomo were happy to get their first gym battles. "Now come with me to the Oreburgh Museum kids, I have something for all of you" he said. The gang were curious to know what Roark had in store for them.
At the Oreburgh Museum Dr Kenzo was waiting for Roark and the gang. "Kids for helping us at the Oreburgh Mine with Aerodactyl and those thieves," said Roark "we wish to present to you these gifts. You see we found a haul of skull and armor fossils and we've restored them to Cranidos and Shieldon. And we wish to let you have Cranidos and Shieldon". The gang couldn't believe this. "Are you sure about this?" asked Ash. "Yes" answered Roark. Dr Kenzo agreed too. Ash, Brock and Tomo were happy with this and they accepted by taking a Cranidos and Shieldon each. "What about you Dawn, do you want Cranidos and Shieldon?" said Roark. Dawn shook her head. "Thank you Roark but Cranidos and Shieldon are not my type of pokemon" said Dawn. Truth is she thought that Cranidos and Shieldon were a bit too rough for her. "Then maybe you will like this then Dawn" said Dr Kenzo. He walked out in the back for a minute and then came back again with a pokemon egg. "Hey that's a Smoochum egg," said Tomo "I know because my Jynx hatched out of the same egg when she was a Smoochum". Dawn was amazed to see a pokemon egg. "It was left here at the museum a couple of days ago and no one has come to claim it," said Dr Kenzo "and I thought maybe you can have it". Dawn couldn't believe her ears that she was getting a pokemon egg. She looked at Smoochum on her pokedex and thought it was very cute indeed. "I'll take it," said Dawn, cheerfully, "Smoochum will be perfect for contests". So Dawn got a Smoochum egg while the boys got a Cranidos and Shieldon each.
After that the gang said goodbye to Roark and Dr Kenzo and left Oreburgh City for Floaroma Town. So Ash and Tomo had one badge down and just another seven to get.
After leaving Oreburgh City, the gang came across two white and light blue squirrel type pokemon. These two pokemon were called Pachirisu and they were electric type pokemon. Dawn and Tomo liked the Pachirisu, especially Dawn because they looked very adorable, and decided to catch them.
While the gang was busy with Pachirisu, Team Rocket was in an underground mine. "So James why are in this underground mine?" asked Jessie. "Because Jessie, this is the Sinnoh Underground Mine," answered James "here in Sinnoh there are underground mines everywhere. And in these mines you can find treasures like shards, spheres, evolution stones, and they say you might be able to find fossils". "I get it," said Meowth "so if we dig here we can find lots of treasure ourselves". "Exactly," said James "so let's start digging to find ourselves some treasure and earn lots of money". Jessie and Meowth liked that idea. "Hang on though," said Meowth "shouldn't we have some sacks so not to mix up all our goods". "Meowth is right," said Jessie "after all we don't know what we are going to dig up". Jessie had some spare big sacks with her. Then she and James call out their Ursaring, Breloom, Weavile, Wobbuffet, and Exploud out. Ursaring was to carry a sack for spheres, Exploud for shards, Weavile for stones, Breloom for fossils and Wobbuffet for anything else. "Okay everyone let's start treasure hunting" said James. He, Jessie and Meowth started to dig with pick axes at once.
Back with the gang Tomo and Dawn had captured the Pachirisus, but these two were mischievous and Dawn's Pachirisu liked going around shocking her and Piplup. Tomo's Pachirisu liked running around like crazy but wasn't a maniac of shocking everyone. "What are we supposed to do Tomo?" asked Dawn. She wasn't happy with Pachirisu's behavior. "Not to worry Dawn, my Electabuzz can teach them a lesson or two" said Tomo, getting out a pokeball. "Electabuzz?" said Dawn. "This Dawn is one of the things you do to discipline pokemon" said Brock. Ash, Tomo and Brock explained to Dawn that sometimes pokemon act disobedient to their new trainers because their new. "The way to solve this is you have teach them whose boss and have one of your older and bigger pokemon to obey rules and do as they're told" said Brock. "It's like how you deal with very small children; you know to discipline them to get them to behave and teach them to obey rules and your orders" said Ash. "I know about that, my mum always put her foot down to make me or other kids to do as we were told" said Dawn. "Exactly and putting your foot down is how you can make Pachirisu to start behaving," said Ash "I've had to put my foot down on some disobedient pokemon before, especially the pokemon I hatched out from eggs". "And My Electabuzz is the way to help because Pachirisu's electric attacks won't harm him and he's bigger than Pachirisu" said Tomo. Understand what she had to do now, Dawn told Tomo to go ahead and send out Electabuzz.
Back with Team Rocket, the trio was still digging. So far they had found lots and lots of shards and spheres. Suddenly James dug up a fossil. "Hey a fossil" said James. He and Jessie and Meowth couldn't help grinning for joy. James had a quick look in a notebook of his. "According to my book this is an armor fossil, and this fossil is from a pokemon called Shieldon" he said. "Fantastic, let's get more" said meowth, and the trio went back to digging again.
Back with the gang Electabuzz had succeeded on making the two Pachirisus behave. Because he was bigger and stronger, the Pachirisus had become scared of him and dared not get him angry, especially after he showed how powerful his electricity was. Then Dawn and Tomo stepped forward. "Now Pachirisu," said Dawn, a bit sternly, "you can't just go around shocking everyone, we could get seriously hurt by your electricity and you must listen to what people tell you or you will be getting into trouble with Electabuzz here". Her Pachirisu flinched from hearing that and promised to listen in future. Tomo's Pachirisu promised to listen too. "See Dawn," said Ash "you just sometimes have to discipline pokemon like you do with kids". Dawn could see that Ash and Brock were right again.
Now with the problem with Dawn and Tomo's new captured Pachirisus now over, the gang could continue their journey.
Back with Team Rocket, Jessie, James and Meowth had stopped digging in the Sinnoh Underground and came out with their findings. "That was a lot of work, but it was worth it" said Meowth. "Yeah and we have fully loaded sacks with treasures" said Jessie. Ursaring had a big sack full of spheres, Exploud a sack full of shards, Weavile a sack full of evolutionary stones; fire, water, leaf, thunder, moon, sun and ever stones, Breloom a sack full of fossils; helix, dome, old amber, root, claw, skull and armor fossils, and Wobbuffet had a sack full of rare bones, star pieces, heart scales and smooth, heat, icy and damp rocks. "This big bag of fossils can make up for our failure of sending fossils to the boss from Hoenn" said Meowth. "You're right," said James "oh and get this. I got in touch with somebody at the headquarters about the fossils that Butch and Cassidy sent, and he told me that they didn't give him any root or claw fossils". "You're kidding?" said Jessie, in surprise. Meowth laughed. "With this we can beat those two a notch" he said. Jessie and James agreed. "I'll send for some Delibirds from headquarters to pick up our fossils at once" said James. "Okay and I'll take Meowth and our pokemon to sell off our treasures" said Jessie. "Then let's have a big feast to celebrate" finished Meowth. Jessie, James and their pokemon looked forward to that.
So Jessie and James and Meowth had a great day in the Sinnoh Underground, finding treasures and fossils.
One day the gang was taking a break. Tomo was spending time with his Growlithe, Bidoof, Shieldon, Cranidos and Pachirisu. His other pokemon were back at Prof Oak's lab and Tomo only had five pokemon on him because he wanted to save the sixth slot for a new pokemon. Tomo was happy with his new Sinnoh pokemon just like Ash, Dawn and Brock were. But there was pokemon that Tomo was hoping to catch; he wanted to have a Chimchar. After seeing Paul's Chimchar for the first time, he hoped he would get one himself.
Suddenly there was a noise of somebody yelling 'You worthless, ugly thing!" "What was that?" said Dawn. "That sounded like somebody is abusing somebody or something," said Ash "I recognize that sort of yelling because I've heard it before". The gang ran over to where the noise was from, and there they saw a punk man ordering a Golem kick a Chimchar a lot of times. "Hey you!" shouted Ash "what do you think you're doing!" The man saw the kids and he and his Golem ran off. "What in the world was that?!" gasped Dawn, who didn't like what she saw. "That Dawn was your first time of seeing somebody who physically abuses pokemon" said Ash. Tomo ran over to the Chimchar. This Chimchar was shiny; instead of being a red-orange colour, it was a red-pink colour. "Is there a pokemon center around here?" asked Tomo. Brock checked his map, and good news was there was a pokemon center nearby. "Let's hurry" said Tomo, picking up Chimchar.
The gang ran to the pokemon center and gave Chimchar to Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy was horrified when she saw the Chimchar's bruises, and the gang told her about the punk man and his Golem. "I've heard about that man, he has no respect for pokemon whatsoever, not even his own" said Nurse Joy. Brock offered to call Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy agreed. So while Brock and Nurse Joy were busy, Ash, Tomo and Dawn waited to Chimchar to recover. "I have heard about people abusing pokemon," said Dawn "but I've never seen them abuse pokemon like that with my own eyes before". "Get used to it now Dawn," said Ash "we have seen people abuse pokemon hundreds of times and we may see more people doing it here in Sinnoh too". Dawn hoped she wouldn't.
It wasn't long till Officer Jenny got Brock's call and she arrested the punk man at once. His Golem was taken away from him and released into the wild to start a better life. The man was to never have anything to do with pokemon ever again because of his abuse. As for Chimchar, it got well again a few days later thanks to Nurse Joy. Tomo stepped forward and asked if he could have Chimchar and Nurse Joy agreed. Ash, Brock and Dawn also agreed that Chimchar would be perfect for Tomo.
So Tomo was happy to have a Chimchar of his own and Chimchar was happy to have a caring person for a trainer.
I know Team Rocket went into the Sinnoh Underground when Ash battled the Eterna Gym in the anime, but I decided to do it early. I had a good long think and decided that Cranidos and Shieldon don't suit Dawn. I gave her a Smoochum egg now, so not have to have Dawn catch a Smoochum at Snowpoint City. I'm surprised Dawn never caught a Smoochum in the anime because of how cute they are. It was nonsense that Dawn caught, released and caught Pachirisu again in the anime. Surely with a top coordinator for a mum she should have known that pokemon can be mischievous and you have to discipline them sometimes.
