Well, I'm surprised again. Two days after I started this little fic, I have gotten enough reviews to post another chapter. I must say I'm pretty happy. After this is done I can get on to other fics. Also I was very surprised to learn that I have a reviewer who knows lees bout' Pokemon than me. The remark made was that they didn't know what I meant in chapter two about a red Gyrados. As far as I can remember that is a pokemon you catch during one of the little quests in the silver edition of the game boy game. It is a steel type I think, and I would appreciate if someone could answer that question for me before I get to the point where I have to cross that bridge. Anyway I got two reviews and posted chapter two, and now that I have four I am putting up chapter three. Keeping my current ratio I expect eight before I post chapter four. I better make this chapter good then ne? Well regardless of it's future, welcome to the present in my fanfic! Pokemon High!

Chapter 4- The Water Baron

Ash awoke Saterday morning to the sound of his digital alarm clock beeping into his ear. He cringed as his head told him he should just go back to sleep, and he almost wished he was back on the road like old times so Misty would mallet him for not getting up. Thinking about Misty he remembered what he had planned to do today, and he quickly slammed the off button on the pesky alarm and got up out of his bed. He was wearing only a pair of boxers, and his short spikey hair was mussed. He looked into the mirror on his desk and sighed. "Ugh, I look like crap." He said, and a slight call of 'Pika' confirmed this from pikachu's miniture bed. The pokemon was awake, but it didn't seem to want to jump onto the shoulder of this thing that only slightly resembled her master. Ash decided to shower then brush his teeth.

When Ash entered the bathroom pikachu quickly started to sniff a few of the pokeballs her owner had left out the previous night to use today. While she was pleased to find the ball that held the versatile and strong Jolteon Ash had gotten, she lifted her nose somewhat when she recognized Electabuzz's pokeball. Ash had gotten it from the girl known as Casey when she had finnally gotten over her Electabuzz kick. She had told him he would be good for it, but in truth the thing just had a nasty attitude that the girl coulnd't satnd anymore. Ash had been confident about being able to fix it's attitude because he did so well with Charizard. yeah right. Pikachu noticed the pichu, as well as pi-two had not been brought out. Ash was being resonable, so what other pokemon were in the two balls remaining? Pikachu noticed the familier scent of bulbasaur from one, and the other got a good sniff before pikachu noticed chicorita.

**I hope I spelled that right.**

Ash was out of the shower now, and pikachu took to grooming herself. Her owner would be presentable after he had groomed, so pikachu should two. As she had finished Ash walked out with a towel wrapped around himself, and his hair was soft and wet. He quickly changed, and pikachu of course to no note of that. Ash pulled on a clean pair of boxers, and he also put on some bobby socks. He had never once forgotten the first object since his return home, because his mother STILL reminded him of it everytime he left. The scary thing was his journey was over now. He pulled on a pair of blur jean shorts that went down a good two inches past his knees, and he pulled a red and white tee from his closet. It was mainly white, but it was red acros the top of his chest to his shoulders. He had gotten it in the mail a few months ago when the moltres flame had been carried to the pokemon indigo league stadium. He guessed that the old man was giving it to him as a reminder that Ash shoud come back and battle when summer break rolled around.

Last but not least, Ash pulled on his red and white pokemon league hat and strapped on his pokebelt. He had chikorita, bulbasaur, electabuzz, jolteon, and pikachu. Even a red gyrados HAD to fall under this combined power. He would have brought marrep as well, but he wanted the gyrados to have a spot in his belt as well. He would have used lapras gladly today, but he wanted to use the jet ski that the pokemon lab had. He had heard some rumors that the things pissed off gyrados to no end, and he wanted to find one quick. He was pretty happy Proff. Oak had agreed to let him use it. He had asked Misty to the dance Thursday, and the proffessor had given Ash permission on Friday. That was pretty lucky. Ash put on his shoes, and with a little whistle pikachu was on his shoulder as was often the case. Ash slowly left his room, and he sneaked quietly out of the house.

Well he did grab some oatmeal cookies, and a jug of juice first but that isn't unusual is it? Ash then headed down to the dock by the sea that was specifically there for the good professors lab, and he took a key from his pocket as he approached the wave runner. He didn't have water pokemon with him, so he made certain to grab one of the vests. Amazingly enough it was red and white, and it didn't clash with his outfit, but then again just about anything having to do with pokemon gear was red and white. Ash hopped onto the jet ski, and pikachu hopped onto the back end figuring it to be better than Ash's shoulder for the trip. Ash put one of the keys on the chain he had into a lock on the jet ski's cargo frame, and when he turned it the vehicle was released into the water. He retracted the key as the jet ski slid into the waves, and he cringed as he noticed the water was pretty chilly this morning. Then he put the other key into the ignition.

The soft pur the jet ski made as it's engine kicked over was like music, and Ash had to beat down the temtation to gun the engine out into the oceon. Seeing as people were sleeping he meerely eased a little acceleration from the vehicle as he slid slowly out of the beach into the oceon. He would find the gyrados he had in mind soon enough. He had seen and heard of it before, but he had never gotten near enough to catch it. He would just have to go to where it hung out in the jet ski, and taunt the bastard to fighting him. Ash laughed as he was now a safe distance from town to gun the engine, and he let out a happy whoop as the jet ski flew across the water. Meanwhile back at the Ceruleon gym Misty was getting over a small shock. She had just received news that a challenger had come to fight her for a gym badge. This was not suprising in itself, but then again the challenger was Gary Oak. She hadn't even seen the guy in half a year. Not since he and Ash had decided to have a serious match, and Ash had mopped the floor with him.

Actually it was a close match, but it still made Ash and Misty happy. Anyway she now stood facing a new and very challenging opponent in the arena of her gym, the notorious Gary Oak. Wait she had already thought about that fact. Gary was in his usual simple attire, and Misty was in a cetain bathing suit she had been training her pokemon in. She now had a beach towel wrapped around her slender waist thought, and she was scowling. Gary had called out a pokemon he claimed would beat every one of her pokemon. She hadn't believed the claims, but then again she never expected to see a Zapdos appear before her eyes. Misty Waterflower was trying to stare down one of the legendary pokemon as Gary Oak laughed his head off.

Misty had gotten a hold of a pokemon that could counter a flying tpye pokemon a long tiem ago, but she still was in a bind over the fact that Zapdos could use electric attacks against her. Thunder wasn't an attack one could exactly laugh off even if your pokemon weren't a water type. Misty hated to do it, but she would give it a try. "Poliwrath GO!" She cried, and she released her combination fighting and water pokemon. She was hoping it could do what she had seen another poliwrath do against Ash's charizard a long time ago. She would have it dodge the electric attacks of it's opponent on the land, and then she would have poliwrath use ice beam to take it down. Gary smiled at her choice. "That was a nice choice Mist." He said, and she realized just how much she hated another guy using Ash's pet name for her.

"I won't let you use that strategy though." Gary said in an arogent manner, "My zapdos has a trick up it's sleeve. Zapdos use agility, and then knock it into the water with a wing slash!" Zapdos quickly answered to the command and flew at Misty's poliwrath as it fazed back in forth from sheer speed. "Poliwrath, ice beam won't work. Use a high jump kick to knock zapdos a good one!" Misty ordered. As zapdos bolted at it's prey for a good wing slash the poliwrath executed a jumping kick to the birds head with an ominous crack. Zapdos was not near getting crumpled from such a basic attack however, and it executed a shocking wing slash that forced poliwrath into the water. "Great zapdos just like it's supposed to work." Gary congratulated his pet, "Now give it a thunder in the water to ensure a win!" Misty shrieked as the zapdos executed the attck before she could recall poliwrath. The pokemon floated to the surface, and Misty quickly had the gym staff take it to the pokemon center. She then turned and glared at Gary.

"That was excessive force and you know it Gary Oak." She said in a tone that would have made Ash wet his shorts had he heard it. Gary just shrugged. "Come on Misty, your badge is one of the three ones that Ash got in the Indigo League that I never did. If you think I'm gonna take any chances you're mistaken." Gary relpied to her coldheartedly. "Well wheather you want to prove you're better than Ash or not is irrelevent." She said still angry, "If my pokemon dies, I'll make sure you lose your entire liscence, and I'm also not going to continue this match until it's better." Gary gaped at her, and then he got mad as well. "Hey! Don't give me that garbage! You can still continue the match! Quit pretending to be distraught and fight me!" Misty glowered at the arogent boy. "You have no idea!" She cried in defense.

"Oh don't I? You use your pokemon and Ash like I would, and I doubt this incident is breaking your little heart Misty. Besides, what difference would resuming this a few days from now do?" Gary asked her. Misty then smiled. "In a few days I will have a new pokemon to deal with you, curtosy of the lovely Ash Ketchum. It is as rare as that bird of your, and it will crush you for my poor poliwrath whom I love very much." She said smugly. "Don't make me laugh." Gary said, "Ketchum can catch a strong pokemon or two, but he'll never get a rare one like mine! Keep dreaming Misty he's most likely playing a trick on you." Misty only ignored him as she walked away. She couldn't argue with him now. She was afraid he was right.

**Jeez I finnally wrote out a little battle. Well time to get on with the better one!**

Ash pulled another wide slow circle around the stretch of rocky coast that he ahd seen the red gyrados at before. It was late in the afternoon, and he had already had to refuel the damn jet ski twice. He had noticed a few gyrados had gotten mad at him, but he simply had to show his array of pokemon and they had left. Even something as big as a gyrados knew not to f*ck with three electric pokemon ready to use thunder on it. Ash pulled to a slow stop, and he turned the engine slowly off. "Man pikachu how long do you think this is gonna take?" He asked the yellow mouse who was now curled into a ball on the back end of the jet ski. Pikachu shrugged her shoulders as if to say 'I dunno.' And then when back to sunbathing. Ash was then going to start the engine again when he felt somehting pass underneath the jet ski, and bump into it. It was a very LARGE something. "Hey pikachu I think we foun-." Ash started, but he was cut off when there was a flash of red and he and the jet ski were seperated from the yellow pokemon as all three were flung through the air by the tail end. of a very large red gyrados. "Oh my." Ash said as he resurfaced about twenty yards from pikachu and the jet ski. Twenty yards from the only pokemon he had out, and twenty from the jet ski where he had left his belt at with his pokeballs. The gyrados was looking right at him.

"I am so dead." Ash said outloud, and he cringed as the gyrados let out a bellowing roar that would have made a t-rex jellous. Pikachu almost whimpered in fear.

Oh I'm evil! Lol, well it's as long as the other chapters so I ended it. I got to get reviews before I write more by the way. I thought it would be good to remind u all of that before I said goodbye. Next chapter is the battle of the superpowers. The superpower that is Ash's hi level pokemon, vrs the high level and very big ugly mother f*cker that is the red gyrados. Anyway I would also like to point out, that like a story I found on the Insane Musings web page that can be found on yahoo.com Ash may not make it out of this one without medical treatment. Ho-boy, I really am evil. Hey I got my reasons. My dad abused me pysically I swear! Well actually that's the truth, but I don't plan on killing Ash over it so don't worry! Hmmm. maby Gary though. Heh, well anyway it's late see ya!
