Ketchum Quadruple Pack:

The Rise of the Ketchum

Chapter 2 Boys get Schooled by the Poke

Yamato Naoe, his Slowpoke, Ash Ketchum, his Pikachu and the others with their Pokémon in their airship had arrived in Hoenn Region. They went there to find the other Anime Harem Male Protagonists who had crash landed into the Pokémon world. Kizuna Hida, who piloted the airship, steers it into a safe and distant place so that no one will notice it. Soon as Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu and the others were about to step out and check out Hoenn, Jin Mazama halted them and asked who would stay and watch over the airship. After they had a conversation and a game of Rock Paper and Scissors, it was Ash Ketchum with Pikachu, Yamato Naoe, Jin Mazama, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon went searching. While Raku Ichijo, Basara Toujou and their Pokémon stay behind and watch over the airship, Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu and the others go on the search for any Anime Harem Male Protagonists. After searching high and low for their fellow Anime Harem Male Protagonists, Ash Ketchum's Pikachu found a Plusle and Minun.

As Ash Ketchum and the others encounter a Plusle and a Minun, Keita Suminoe appears and Ash Ketchum and the others greet him. Soon then Keita Suminoe introduces himself to Jin Mazama, since Jin Mazama doesn't know him. After their little reunion and greeting, Ash Ketchum and Jin Mazama ask Keita Suminoe if the Plusle and the Minun were his Pokémon partners. Keita Suminoe was confused and he explained to Ash Ketchum, Jin Mazama and the others what happened. Keita Suminoe told Ash Ketchum and the others that after he had crash landed in the Hoenn region, the wild Plusle and the wild Minun came to him out of their curiosity. Soon then Keita Suminoe continues to explain that after a rough start to getting along between him, the wild Plusle and the wild Minun they soon had gotten well with each other. Ash Ketchum asked Keita Suminoe that the wild Plusle and the wild Minun were his friends and Keita Suminoe responded yes with him.

In a little while, Jin Mazama pulls out two Poké Balls and Keita Suminoe asks him why he pulled them out. Jin Mazama explained to him that Keita Suminoe must catch both Plusle and Minun if they were his Pokémon partners. Keita Suminoe thought about it and checked with the wild Plusle and the wild Minun. As the wild Plusle and the wild Minun agree with Keita Suminoe and so Keita Suminoe takes the two Poké Balls from Jin Mazama and tosses both of the Poké Balls at Plusle and Minun. As both Plusle and Minun entered into the Poké Balls at the same time, Keita Suminoe caught Plusle and Minun and officially decided to become a Pokémon trainer. Yamato Naoe asked him and Keita Suminoe explained that after bonding with his newly caught Plusle and Minun before catching and saw that Jin Mazama, Kizuna Hida and Yamato Naoe had officially become Pokémon trainers like their master Ash Ketchum. After that, they all went back to the airship.

But before they could return back to the airship, where Raku Ichijo, Basara Toujou and their Pokémon were waiting, Yamato Naoe noticed that his Slowpoke Yadon and Karin were having a strange feeling. Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Yadon and Karin told Yamato Naoe to head over that way that Jin Mazama told that way leads to Rustboro City. Then Ash Ketchum with Pikachu and the others head over to Rustboro City and as they had arrived there Yamato Naoe bumped into a boy. Yamato Naoe got up and helped out the boy and asked the boy who he was. The boy introduces himself to be Naoya Mukai and Yamato Naoe and the others introduce themselves to him. As they were greeting one another, Yamato Naoe introduced Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu to him as their and his master. At that moment they introduce their Pokémon to Naoya Mukai, Ash Ketchum asks him if he had found his Pokémon partner. As Naoya Mukai was about to respond to them soon a Lunatone and a Solrock appeared to all of them.

Ash Ketchum asks Naoya Mukai if Solrock and Lunatone were his Pokémon partners. But then soon enough, Roxanne shows up to Ash Ketchum and the others and happily greets Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu. Ash Ketchum then introduces Roxanne to Yamato Naoe and the others along with their Pokémon partners to her. Soon after Ash Ketchum told her that Yamato Naoe and the others were his friend and students, Roxanne says that the Solrock and Lunatone are Pokémon she was looking after. She was about to show them to her students in her teaching at the Pokémon Trainer's School. Yamato Naoe asks Roxanne that there is a school for Pokémon Trainers and she responds yes. Ash Ketchum asks Roxanne if his friends and students can come to the Pokémon Trainer's school for a little while and she grants his permission.

So Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu and the others with their Pokémon came into the Pokémon Trainer's School. Roxanne shows Yamato Naoe, Jin Mazama, Kizuna Hida, Keita Suminoe and Naoya Mukai the school's four different classes: the Beginner's, Pokémon Doctor's, Pokémon Battle and the Pokémon Contest Classes. Jin Mazama and Kizuna Hida ask Roxanne if they can participate in one class. As Roxanne approved of their requests, Jin Mazama went to the Pokémon Doctor's Class while Kizuna Hida went to the Pokémon Battle Class. As they went to the class, Solrock and Lunatone were playing around with Naoya Mukai and Roxanne said to him that they must somehow like him. But then Roxanne took them both to her Beginner's class to show the beginners about Pokémon counterparts. Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu Yamato Naoe, Keita Suminoe, Naoya Mukai and their Pokémon stood by and watched Roxanne's lecture.

But suddenly three students who were the Team Rocket trio: Jessie, James and Meowth in disguise snatch up Ash Ketchum's Pikachu as Ash Ketchum and the others are distracted. Fortunately, Ash Ketchum noticed Team Rocket and chased after them. As Yamato Naoe and the others with their Pokémon follow Ash Ketchum, Kizuna Hida with his Kommo-o named Sorehead who got back from the Pokémon Battle Class tries to stop Team Rocket. At the same time, Jin Mazama with his Lycanroc who also got back from Pokémon Doctor's class halted Team Rocket but Jessie, Jame and Meowth escaped by blowing up a wall to the outside. But as Team Rocket almost escaped with Ash Ketchum's Pikachu, Basara Toujou's Lucario swiftly snatched Ash Ketchum's Pikachu and freed him. Ash Ketchum and the others catch up, Ash Ketchum was relieved and overjoyed that his Pikachu was okay as he happily reunited with him. As Basara Toujou and his Lucario rejoined with Ash Ketchum and the others, he, Jin Mazama and Kizuna Hida with their Pokémon partner were ready to fight Team Rocket.

But Team Rocket's Meowth shoots gumballs at Kizuna Hida and his Kommo-o dubs Sorehead that immobilized them. Jessie throws a capturing device to Jin Mazama and his Lycanroc that binds them and James throws a synthetic cube at Basara Toujou and his Lucario that traps them inside. As Jin Mazama, Basara Toujou and Kizuna Hida were immobilized, bound and trapped along with their Pokémon, Team Rocket told Ash Ketchum to surrender his Pikachu to them. But as the remaining others looked at each other and made an agreement, Yamato Naoe, Keita Suminoe and Naoya Mukai stood up and fought them. While Yamato Naoe chose his Slowpoke Yadon and Keita Suminoe chose his Minun, Naoya Mukai doesn't have any Pokémon to fight with. Yamato Naoe instructed Naoya Mukai to help Jin Mazama, Basara Toujou, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon out while Yamato Naoe and Keita Suminoe fight Team Rocket. As Naoya Mukai tries to free Jin Mazama and his Lycanroc first, Yamato Naoe, Keita Suminoe with their Pokémon battle Team Rocket trio.

Jessie and Jame send out their Pokémon by their Rocket Prize Master, which the Pokémon were James's Morpeko and a Silicobra. Ash Ketchum knew those Pokémon would be tough for Yamato Naoe and Keita Suminoe to beat. But Yamato Naoe and Keita Suminoe still chose to fight and Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Karin to use Psychic and Keita told his Minun to use Thunder. However Psychic and Thunder didn't have any effects on James's Morpeko and Silicobra. As Jessie and James order their Pokémon to attack Yamato's Karin Slowpoke and Keita Suminoe's Minun, Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu and Naoya Mukai help free Jin Mazama, Basara Toujou, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon partners. At that moment, a rock from Jame's Morpeko and a ball of mud from Silicobra's Mud Shot was about to hit Solrock and Lunatone when they got too close at range. But Naoya Mukai had protected both Solrock and Lunatone from the attack and the Solrock and Lunatone appreciated him.

Soon then Naoya Mukai asks Solrock and Lunatone if they wanted to help out and they agree with him. As they show him that they wanted to fight Team Rocket, Naoya Mukai chose both Solrock and Lunatone to battle Team Rocket. But as Naoya Mukai doesn't know what to do, both Solrock and Lunatone teach him the moves by Telekinesis. Soon then Naoya Mukai was ready but Jessie and James told their Pokémon to attack first. Naoya Mukai quickly told Solrock and Lunatone to dodge and used Future Sight. Solrock and Lunatone both dodge the attacks and both used Future Sight. As the move was taking time to work, Naoya Mukai thought the move wasn't working and so he told Solrock and Lunatone to use Psyshock.

But James's Morpeko and Jessie's Silicobra counter the move with Aura Wheel and Drill Run. In the middle of the battle, Yamato Naoe realized about Future Sight and asked Keita Suminoe and Naoya Mukai to keep stalling Team Rocket Trio by keeping battling. As Naoya Mukai responds to him that they can't seem to beat Team Rocket, Yamato Naoe then gets an idea and says that they should work together. Soon Yamato Naoe, Keita Suminoe and Naoya Mukai worked together in battling against Jessie, James and Meowth while Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu tried to free Jin Mazama, Basara Toujou, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon partners. When James told his Morpeko to use Aura Wheel and Jessie told Silicobra to use Drill Run, Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Karin and Naoya Mukai told both Solrock and Lunatone to use Confusion. As both James's Morpeko and Jessie's Silicobra were halted Yamato Naoe told Keita Suminoe to strike at them. Keita Suminoe told his Minun to use Discharge but it had little effect on Morpeko and Silicobra.

Jessie, James and Meowth laugh at Yamato Naoe, Keita Suminoe and Naoya Mukai and they mock them. But Yamato Naoe grins and says to Team Rocket Trio that they were stalling just in time for Future Sight. When Future Sight directly struck Morpeko and Silicobra, Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu manage to free Jin Mazama, Basara Toujou, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon partners just in time. Soon then Jin Mazama, Basara Toujou and Kizuna Hida with their Pokémon partners prepare to use their Z-Move against Jessie, James and Meowth. Jin Mazama with his Lycanroc, Basara Toujou with his Lucario and Kizuna Hida with his Kommo-o dub Sorehead unleash their Z-Move that fused together to directly hit Team Rocket Trio and Team Rocket blastoff. As everyone cheered along with their Pokémon partners, Naoya Mukai thanked Solrock and Lunatone. When Naoya Mukai was about to return Solrock and Lunatone to Roxanne, Roxanne noticed that Solrock and Lunatone wanted to join with Naoya Mukai.

Soon Naoya Mukai asks if Solrock and Lunatone really wanted to join him and they agree with him. So Jin Mazama took out two Poké balls for Naoya Mukai and Naoya Mukai threw at both Solrock and Lunatone. After Naoya Mukai had caught his Solrock and Lunatone, Ash Ketchum and the others with their Pokémon were about to leave the Pokémon Trainers' School. But Roxanne asked Ash Ketchum if any of his student friends wanted to challenge her to a Pokémon Gym Battle. Ash Ketchum replies to Yamato Naoe and the others if they want to challenge Roxanne to a Pokémon Gym Battle. Yamato Naoe and the others thought about it, but they told Roxanne that they will consider it tomorrow. Roxanne understood their decision and they waved goodbye and returned to their airship.

When they had got to their airship the Zillion Volt Ketchum and that it was okay, Raku Ichijo opened the door and greeted Ash Ketchum, his Pikachu, Yamato Naoe and the others. As Jin Mazama shows Keita Suminoe and Naoya Mukai around the airship, Yamato Naoe thinks with Ash Ketchum and the others about the Pokémon challenge with Roxanne. He asks Ash Ketchum what the Pokémon Gym Battle Challenge is and Ash Ketchum explains it in his own way. As he thought it through, Yamato Naoe understood what Ash Ketchum said as a Pokémon Gym Battle Challenge is like a regular Pokémon Battle but it was in a specific Gym. So Yamato Naoe decided to train with his Slowpoke Yadon and Karin for the Gym Battle against Roxanne. When Yamato Naoe was training with his Pokémon, Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu, Basara Toujou, Raku Ichijo, Kizuna Hida and their Pokémon helped him to train for his first Pokémon Gym Battle. They do their Pokémon until the evening when they all prepare for bed.

Basara Toujou with his Lucario understood Ash Ketchum and his Pikachu. Then Yamato Naoe with his Slowpokes, Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu and the others with their Pokémon went to the Rustboro Gym. As they had arrived at the Rustboro Gym and greeted Roxanne, Yamato Naoe replies to Roxanne to challenge her for his first Gym Battle. Roxanne accepts his challenge and then in exchange for more routines as in their Pokémon battle will be filmed for the Pokémon Trainers' School. Yamato Naoe agrees with her and they begin their two-on-two Gym Battle. Roxanne began the battle by selecting her Graveler and Yamato Naoe chose his Slowpoke Yadon. Jin Mazama observes with Raku Ichijo that even though Slowpoke had a type advantage, Roxanne might have a trick up her sleeves.

Yamato Naoe makes the first move by telling his Slowpoke Yadon to use Water Gun. But Roxanne told her Graveler to use Rollout that defects the Water Gun and runs right through the Water Gun. As Roxanne told her Graveler to use Hammer Arm, Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Yadon to dodge and use Yawn. Yamato Naoe's Yadon Slowpoke managed to dodge and directly hit Roxanne's Graveler with Yawn. With Roxanne's Graveler asleep, Yamato Naoe seized the chance and told his Slowpoke to use Psychic. The Psychic move was effective to Roxanne's Gravel and Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke dub Yadon to use Water Gun. As soon as Water Gun directly hit Roxanne's Graveler, Roxanne's Graveler was knocked out.

After Yamato Naoe congratulates his Slowpoke Yadon and Roxanne calls out her Probopass, Yamato Naoe was unfamiliar with her Pokémon which she evolved. Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Yadon to use Tackle but the Tackle move did little effect on Roxanne's Probopass. Soon Roxanne tells her Probopass to use Rock Tomb that trapped Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Yadon in boulders. But Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Yadon to use Psychic to break free. Roxanne then told her Probopass to use Magnet Bomb that she uses the Mini-Noses to floating all around Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Yadon. Before Yamato Naoe could tell his Slowpoke Yadon, all three of Roxanne's Probopass Mini-Noses directly explode at Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Yadon. As Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Yadon to get up and use Yawn, Roxanne told her Probopass to use Zap Cannon.

Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Yadon was knocked out and Yamato Naoe took him by his side. Soon Yamato Naoe chose his Slowpoke Karin to battle Roxanne's Probopass. Yamato Naoe was aware of Roxanne's strategies but soon he suddenly got an idea. He told his Slowpoke Karin to spin around and use Water Gun all around. As Roxanne was confused, she told her Probopass to use Magnet Bomb but the Mini-Noses was halted by the Water Gun. Yamato Naoe then told his Slowpoke to use Psychic on the water and then she forms a huge water ball. Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Karin throws the water ball at Roxanne's Probopass. But Roxanne told her Probopass to use Zap Cannon, which caused a huge explosion.

As there was smoke all around them, Yamato Naoe told his Slowpoke Karin to use Zen Headbutt. Somehow Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Karin directly struck Roxanne's Probopass under the fog. As Roxanne was about to tell her Probopass to use Zap Cannon, Yamato Naoe quickly told his Slowpoke to use Water Gun. Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Karin managed to directly hit Roxanne's Probopass and then Yamato Naoe told her to use Zen Headbutt. As Roxanne's Probopasswas paralzyed and flinched and the Zen Headbutt hit her, Roxanne's Probopass had fainted. Yamato Naoe won his first Gym Battle against Roxanne and Roxanne awarded Yamato Naoe with the Stone Badge. Yamato Naoe with his Slowpoke, Ash Ketchum with his Pikachu and the others with their Pokémon wave goodbye to Roxanne and go to the Pokémon center to recover Yamato Naoe's Slowpoke Yadon. Soon they all went back to the airship to continue searching for the other Anime Harem Male Protagonists.
