Hey trainers, I'm Ashley
Ketchum. I'm a great Poke'mon Master. I've got the power to change into a
Poke'mon. Plus, I am half Raichu. Actually, my boyfriend, James, and I are
both half Raichu. Ever since I was ten,
I was able to train Poke'mon. Now, I'm
17, so is my boyfriend. My brother,
Ash, is 10. Ever since Ash and I became
Poke'mon Masters, we've been part of the Elite Four (now Elite Six). If you read on, you will be reading a story
of a battle (two actually) of how James became a Poke'mon Master. Although, he didn't become part of the
Elite Six.
" I'm bored," said Ash,
yawning.
" Pi," answered Pikachu.
(Translated,
"Me too")
" We haven't been
training like we are supposed to, Ash." I said.
" Lets go to Vermilion
City so James can get his Thunder Badge." said Misty.
" I'm not ready to
battle the Elite," complained James.
" Chicken!" I shouted.
" No, I'm just afraid of
losing." said James.
" Chicken!" shouted Ash
and I because we were the leaders of the Elite.
" Am not." shouted
James, with fury.
Giving James a kiss, " I
know you're not." I said, we were engaged.
" Well, what are we
waiting for? Off to Vermilion City!"
shouted Ash.
" Pika," said Pikachu. (Translated,
"Alright")
" Man, his place is
huge." said James.
" Lt. Surge is going to
be hard to beat. When you battle, throw
this out." I said, disappearing into a Poke' ball.
" Can she win?" asked
James.
" I guarantee it," said
Ash, opening the doors.
" I've come to battle
the gym leader," said James.
" Hey boss, another
victim for the emergency room," said two gym trainers.
" Welcome to Vermilion
Gym," said Lt. Surge, hugging Misty, " don't think I'll go easy on you just
because you're a girl."
" I'm not the
challenger," said Misty, " He is."
Pointing to James.
" Ready to battle,
baby?" asked Lt. Surge.
" I'm ready to battle,
and I'm no baby." said James.
" I call all the losers
baby," Lt. Surge said to James. "Poke'
ball, GO!"
" Rai," said Raichu. (Translated
" I'm ready to battle.")
" Okay, Ashley, show me
what you've got." thought James. "
Poke' ball, GO!"
" Vaporeon," I said. (Translated,
" Ready.")
" This battle is already
won." said Lt. Surge.
" She must be crazy,"
said Ash.
" I heard that," I said,
through telekinesis.
" The Gym Leader, Lt.
Surge, using a Raichu. The challenger,
James, using a Vaporeon." said the announcer.
" Raichu, take care of
that water Poke'mon with a thunderbolt." said Lt. Surge.
" Raiiichuuuuuuuu!"
shouted Raichu. (Translated, " Take that!")
" Vaporeon, dodge the
attack." said James.
" Vaporeon!" I shouted. I was to late at dodging the attack.
" Call her back, James,"
said Ash.
" Vaporeon, return."
shouted James, holding up a Poke' ball.
" Eon," I said. (Translated,
" No.")
" Fine," said James, "
Vaporeon, use your dragon rage!"
" Vaporeon," I said. (Translated,
" Got it.")
" Dodge," said Lt.
Surge.
" Raiii!" shouted
Raichu, getting hit with the blast.
After the smoke had
cleared, everyone saw the electric Poke'mon lying on the stadium floor with
Vaporeon standing next to it.
" What!!" shouted Lt.
Surge.
" This match is over,
Surge." said James.
" Water types are
supposed to be weak against electric types." said Lt. Surge, shocked (Get it
^_^).
" Poreon," I said,
quietly as I walked up to Raichu. (Translated, "Man.")
" Chu," said Raichu,
weakly. (Translated, " Ow.")
" Here, you've earned this," said Lt. Surge, handing
James the Thunder Badge.
" Thanks," said James,
showing the badge to Vaporeon. " You
too, Ashley."
" Now you are ready to
battle the Elite," I said, transforming from the Vaporeon.
" I'll wait and train
for a while." said James, hugging me.
" Come on, let's go to
the Poke'mon Center to revive our Poke'mon," said Ash.
" Okay," said everyone.
" Pika Pi Pikachu?"
asked Pikachu. (Translated, " How could you stand up to that
Raichu while being a water type?")
" I've had practice, Pikachu," I said.
" Pi," said Pikachu. (Translated,
" Oh.")
" You did great, Ashley," said Ash. " You know he'll never be able to beat you."
" I know," I said, " but
I'm going to fight as one of his Poke'mon."
" Isn't that cheating?"
asked Ash.
" No," I said. " I'm not going to show up as the leader
because you will tell Lance that I was busy.
That way he will become a Poke'mon Master, just not the Elite Leader. You've got to make it your best battle
against me, okay?"
" Got it," said Ash.
" James," I said, " now
that you are able to battle the Elite, why don't you train today while we start
our journey to Indigo Plateau."
" Sure." said James.
" Pidgeot, GO!" I said.
" Pidgeot, can you take
us to Indigo Plateau?" asked Ash.
" Pidgo," said Pidgeot. (Translated,
" Sure.")
(Later in the Indigo
Plateau) " This new
trainer is amazing, but he only has one Poke'mon left." said Agatha. " He has a girlfriend, and has been training
this Poke'mon hard."
" What is his name and
last Poke'mon?" asked Lance, through his watch radio.
" His name is James, and
his last Poke'mon is a Vaporeon." said Agatha.
" It's no match for my
dragons." said Lance. " It'll be out in
no time."
" Lance, I've come to
battle you to become a Poke'mon Master," said James.
" James, where is your
girlfriend because you're going to need her to cure your Poke'mon," said Lance.
" Are we going to battle
or what, Lance?" asked James.
" We will use one
Poke'mon each." said Lance. " GO,
Dragonite!"
" GO, Vaporeon!" shouted
James.
" Vaporeon." I said. (Translated,
" I'm ready.")
" Vaporeon, hyper beam," said James.
" Poreon," I said. (Translated,
" Gotcha.")
" RAAAR!" shouted
Dragonite. (Translated, " Stop!")
" Dragonite, hit it with your hyper beam," commanded
Lance.
" Lance, your Poke'mon
is too weak." said James. " Vaporeon,
rage, tackle attack."
" Eon," I said, with
confidence. (Translated, " You got it.")
" RAAR!" shouted Dragonite, as it fell to the
ground.
" Dragonite!" shouted Lance. " Your Poke'mon is strong, but to become a
true Poke'mon Master, you have to love your Poke'mon."
" I love my Poke'mon, and I'm going straight to the
top." said James.
" Then go to your next challenge to become a true
Poke'mon Master." said Lance.
" Come on, Vaporeon, lets go to Ash now." said
James.
" Va," I said, weakly. (Translated, " Alright.")
Walking out the door and into the hallway, James
said, " Take this," handing me an egg.
" You've made it this far, James," said Ash, " I see
you have trained hard. But you will
never beat my Poke'mon."
" We'll just see about that, Ash," said James.
" GO, Pikachu!" shouted Ash.
" Pika," said Pikachu. (Translated, " Ready for battle.")
" GO, Vaporeon," said James.
" Vaporeon," said Ashley, courageously. (Translated, " You're going
down.")
" Pikachu, thunder attack." commanded Ash.
" Vaporeon, dragon rage." commanded James.
" Vaporeonnn!" (Translated, " You're out!")
"Pikachuuu!" ("Translated, " Good bye!")
Then, there was a big burst of energy. When the smoke cleared, the two boys saw the
Poke'mon beating each other up.
" Vaporeon, lay off," said James.
" You too,
Pikachu," said Ash.
As both of the Poke'mon jumped back, a giant puff of
smoke filled the room.
" Prepare for trouble," said a girl.
" And make it double," said a boy.
" To infest the world with devastation," said the
girl.
" To frighten all peoples within our nation," said
the boy.
" To denounce the goodness of truth and love," said
the girl.
" To extend our wrath to the stars above," said the
boy.
" Butch," said the boy.
" Cassidy," said the girl.
" Team Rocket surrounding the earth day and night,"
said Cassidy.
" Surrender now, or prepare to lose the fight," said
Butch.
" Not now," said James.
" This is really good." said Ash, sarcastically.
" Hand over your Poke'mon now," said Butch. " Or prepare to fight our Poke'mon."
" We will never hand over our Poke'mon," said Ash
and James.
" Vaporeon, water gun," commanded James.
" Pikachu, thunder shock!" shouted Ash.
" Yeouch!!" shouted Team Rocket when they where hit
with the electric blast. " Looks like
Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
" Shall we finish our match, James?" asked Ash.
" If you want," said James.
" No, I think you and your Vaporeon have had
enough," said Ash. " Why don't we call it a tie."
" Then I'll never become a Poke'mon Master,"
complained James. " I'll never impress
Ashley."
" James, you have proven yourself worthy of becoming
a Poke'mon Master," said Ash. " Take
this to prove that you are a true Poke'mon Master."
" Ash, I can't take this," said James. " I didn't beat you, we tied."
" Your love for your Poke'mon shows that you are a
Poke'mon Master," said Ash.
" Gee, Ash, we've been friends for over a year now,
and being half Poke'mon shows a lot of experience with battling," said
James. " I figured Ashley would help
me, and se did. With her help, I
wouldn't be in this room with your right now.
Ashley," looking at the Vaporeon, " thank you for helping me make my
dream come true."
" You're welcome, James," I said, changing from a
Vaporeon. " And, Ash, that was one
great battle."
" I worked hard training Pikachu," said Ash.
" Pi," said Pikachu. (translated, " Yes he did.")
" I think I'm going to be in trouble," I said, when
seeing Lance in the doorway.
" Yes, you are, Ashley, or should I say 'Vaporeon',"
said Lance in a ticked off kind of way.
" I'd like to see you in my office ASAP, Miss Ketchum."
" Yes, sir." I said.
" Busted," whispered James.
" Ashley, you broke the rules," said Lance. " You know you are not to help any new
Poke'mon Trainer, even if it is your boyfriend."
" I help my friends," I said. " It shows that I love
my family and boyfriend."
" Mewtwo, take care of her," commanded Lance.
" Ashley, I'm sorry," said Mewtwo, through
telekinesis.
" Do what you have to, Mewtwo," I said, before
showing any feelings of being hurt. As
a blue glow came from Mewtwo's eyes, James yelled, " STOP!!" Before the words came out, I hit the wall
behind me with a loud crash.
Falling to the ground, I was hurt bad and could
barely move. James came running to my
side. " Ashley, are you ok?"
Weakly, I said, "I'm fine."
" Lance," said James, trying to have courage, " I
challenge you to a rematch."
" James, what Poke'mon will you use," I asked. " I
was your last one."
" Ashley, I'm part Poke'mon too," said James. " I can fight as well as you."
" James," said Lance, " I accept your
challenge. Prepare to be at the mercy
of failure."
" Good luck," I said, trying to get off of the
floor.
" I choose Dragonair," said Lance.
" I choose myself," said James.
" Dragonair, wrap attack," commanded Lance.
" I don't think so," said James, dodging the
attack. " Try this on for size."
" Raarr," shouted Dragonair. (translated, " NO!") Dragonair hit the ground.
" Dragonair, get up," commanded Lance.
" You lost," said James.
" I hate to admit it, but you are a true Poke'mon
Master," said Lance.
" Congratulations, James," I said.
" What are you going to do now that you are a
Poke'mon Master?" asked Ash.
" Honestly," said James, " I don't know."
" James," I said, " lets go home."
" Ashley, I'm sorry," said Lance.
" Don't worry about it, Lance, I'll be okay in a few
days," I said.
" Ashley," said James.
" Yes," I said.
" I love you," said James, giving me a kiss.
" I love you, too," I replied.
