2 Vision 05: Girls, Ketchup, Psychics and Ninjas



{Gary's POV}

The sun rose over Fuchsia City, as Pikachu and I stood posed to greet it.

"Well my small friend, there's much to be done today. We are going to fight the Fuchsia gym leader for the soul badge. I heard that he trains poison types, so the order of the battle will go as follows, Nidoran, Sandshrew, Eevee, you, Fearow, then Magikarp. Of course I have to trade Growlithe for Nidoran," I said to my electric type.

*Magikarp? Are you sure? * Pikachu asked. Judging by the expression on his face and his manner of speech, I figured he doubted my vast wisdom. Still, time has shown even my great mind has fallen short. So I rechecked my strategy in my head.

"I fine nothing wrong with my plans. After all we have beaten every gym leader up to this point, with the exceptions of the one gym that's name will remain shrouded and never spoken and Saffron's with I yet to get to. But I digress, we have to get back to the others,"

*Whatever, * Pikachu retorted and with that having been said, we headed back to the campsite by Route 15. We came down from the hill we were on and greeted Janine who was up doing her morning exercises. I started breakfast over a small fire that Pikachu lit with a small Thunder Shock. The smell of pancakes woke Sammy up. After some organizing and a hardy breakfast, we were on our way into the city proper.

{Omniscient POV}

"Hey, Gary after we stop by the pokémon center we should head immediately for the gym. The sooner I deliver this pokémon the better," Janine said. Gary nodded in response as he already was planning to do this. When they entered the sliding glass doors and Gary ran into a kid who was walking out of the frosted doors.

"Watch where you're going!" he yelled at the dolt. Then as the person was about to make a reply Gary noticed that he was familiar. "Ash?' He asked.

"Gary?" the blacked haired trainer replied biting back a more angry response. As the two rivals started at each other, three figures walked from behind him. One a pokémon and the other two human, the first a pikachu, the second a red haired girl with her short hair in a side-ways pony tail a yellow tank top and blue shorts, and the third a brown skinned guy with squinty eyes in a green vest and brown pants.

"Ash, who's this?" asked the red head. At the same time, Janine asked the same question about Ash to Gary.

"He's my rival," they both said at the same time glaring at each other.

"Oh, Ok," both girls said at the same time.

"Before you guys start fighting, let's introduce ourselves to each other," Sammy suggested reasonably. "I'm Sammy."

"I'm Misty," the red head said.

"I'm Brock," said the young man in the vest.

"I'm Janine and you must be Ash," the ninja girl said pointing to the trainer wearing the hat.

"That's my pikachu," Gary said pointing to my pokémon who climbed up on my shoulder. Ash introduced his pikachu as well.

*Hi, * both pokémon shyly greeted each other.

"So Gary how many badges do you have?" Ash asked.

"I'm not telling, you'll have to see when we get to the pokémon league to know if my skills are better or worse," he answered smirking.

"Well I challenge you." Ash began but Sammy who suddenly stiffened up then rushed over and grabbed Gary's hand interrupted him.

"Gary, we have to go to Saffron City now! I can get you and me there, but you must do so in the next hour. Janine, you have to deliver that pokémon first, but should be able to bring us some support later on," the little girl said in a monotone. Gary looked into her eyes for a moment then nodded.

"I'll run and heal my pokémon," he yelled to her as he dashed by Ash's group and to the counter.

"Hey!" Ash exclaimed.

"Is she always like this?" Misty asked Janine quietly.

"No only at times. But she is always right about these premonitions and she never lies. It looks like I'm going with you to the Fuchsia Gym," Janine said. Sammy focused on Gary as he came back. His pokémon hadn't been fighting that day, but they needed to be fresh for what ever was in Saffron City.

"Ready," Gary said to Sammy.

"Well, I'm going to! I can handle anything he can!" Ash exclaimed.

"Fine," Gary said grabbing Sammy's hand and picking Pikachu up.

"Ash wait," Brock said as Ash did the same. But before he could say more the group vanished in a flash. Misty rubbed her head in annoyance and Janine just sighed.

Gary, Ash and both pikachu appeared in midair with a flash. Falling the both landed roughly.

"Ouch, Electra, are you all right?" Ash asked his pikachu.

"Sure, I'm fine she replied getting to her feet.

"You alright?" Gary asked his pikachu as he untangled himself from Ash.

*I landed perfectly, * he said.

The pair of humans and pokémon looked around at the white washed room that they were in. Perfectly cubed there was nothing in the room. The tiled floor was also featureless. There was a single door that marred the blankness of the room.

"Let's find Sammy," Gary said walking to the door. Opening it the group entered a marble hallway that was lit by florescent lights. Oddly everyone agreed that they should go left first. Going down the hallway with their pikachu on their shoulders the two trainers noticed the large amount of identical doors on the walls next to them. It gave the building they were in a clinical feel. The hallway terminated in a large set of double doors. Opening the doors reveled a large pokémon stadium with a semi-transparent battling floor. Across from the door on the other short side of the large rectangle a dais with a throne sat. It was shadowed so its occupant could not be seen.

"I know where we are," Gary stated as they entered the room. "We're in the Saffron City Gym." As soon as he spoke those words, the doors closed with a slam behind them trapping them in the room.

"Correct, now the test begins," a female voice said in a monotone. The lights came on above the throne and reveled the persons on it. One was a young girl with long green-black hair. She was wearing a long sleeve red coat with gold buttons and long boots. Her violet eyes started coldly at the pokémon and trainers. The other was sitting on the first girls lap. It was Sammy.

"I an Sabrina the Saffron City Gym leader. I challenge you both to a one on one battle," said the older girl.

"Gary did you know Sammy had an older sister," Ash said to him. There was a short pause as that statement sunk in. "Never mind. Forget I said anything. I accept."

"And so do I," Gary cried out. The gym leader nodded then floated to her box.

"So who goes first," she said. Ash walked in to the challenger box after a glance at Gary. Electra ran out on to the field ready for battle. A poké ball materialized across from her and opened.

"Mr. Mime," the pokémon cried out. The human-shaped clown went in to a defensive stance with her palms out.

"Thunder Bolt," Ash ordered. His pokémon charged up and fired a large surge of electric energy. But a shinning wall appeared a protected the psychic type.

"Psybeam," Sabrina intoned. A huge multi-colored beam fired out and blasted the pikachu back. Electra shook off the blow. A second psybeam fried out it but she dodged using by using agility. But her dashing around the psychic attacks stopped when she hit invisible wall. Suddenly she was trapped in invisible box.

"It's a barrier box, use Thunder on Mr. Mime," Ash said. His pokémon complied by firing a thin bolt of electric energy straight up in the air.

"It's no use," Sabrina said. Her eyes started to glow blue as her pokémon used Psychic. The pokémon started to throw the pikachu into the invisible walls. But it was interrupted by a huge a bolt of electric energy. While it was being fired the fem pikachu started to concentrate as a blue aura appeared around her.

"Surf!" Ash screamed out.

"Surf!" both Gary, Pikachu and Sabrina yelled in surprise. The electric type smirked as two columns of water blasted out of the ground behind her. Pulling a surfboard out of nowhere, she jumped on as the two geysers crashed down in a wave of water. The wave passed under the board lifting the rider up and carrying the rider and the wave both in to a shocked Mr. Mime. When the water receded, a triumphant Electra stood on the comatose Mr. Mime.

"I underestimated you, but I won't underestimate you Gary," Sabrina said recalling her Mr. Mime. Ash and his Pikachu backed off as Gary took and his took their place.

*Gary let me fight, * Pikachu said to Gary. Gary looked at his electric type questioningly then he looked at Ash's pikachu and put two and two together.

"Sure. And good luck impressing the girl," He whispered to him.

*I'm not doing this for her! I just want to fight that's all, * Pikachu said blushing.

"What ever. But you better go, she's getting impatient," Gary said. Pikachu nodded and ran out on to the field.

"Come Kadabra," Sabrina said as her pokémon appeared in flash on the field. "I saved my best for you." She said to Gary who nodded. The two trainers ordered at the exact same time.

"Thunder wave!" "Psychic!" The wave of electric energy crossed the wave of PSI. Pikachu was blown back and Kadabra was paralyzed.

"Agility, then Double-edge," Gary said focusing on the battle.

"Teleport," Sabrina ordered frowning. Kadabra kept dodging Pikachu's blitzkrieg assault but eventually seized up because of the thunder wave, allowing him to ram into the PSI pokémon forcing them both to the ground.

"Seismic Toss," Gary said. Pikachu grabbed Kadabra by the leg and span her around faster and faster. He let go throwing her into the air.

"Kadabra catch yourself with Kinesis, then strike back with another Psychic," Sabrina ordered.

"Finish this with Thunder!" Gary ordered. Pikachu charged up and as soon as Kadabra stopped herself released a huge blast of electricity above her. It paused and gathered more power then struck down like a huge hammer of electricity blasting the pokémon to the ground and out of the match.

Later Gary, Ash and their pokémon were sitting at a table in the gym's dinning room. Magikarp was sitting in a bowl of water on the table. The rest of Gary's pokémon sat on the left side with him. Ash's pokémon sat on the right side of the rectangles table. He had an squirtle, a charmander, a bulbasaur, his pikachu, a haunter, and a pidgeotto. All the pokémon were eating while their trainer's waited nervously for Sabrina to come back from healing here pokémon.

*Hey you should try this, * Electra said handing a bottle to Pikachu who looked at the red object questionably.

*What is it? * Pikachu asked puzzled.

*Ketchup, * she said with a smile.

*Well I'll try anything once, * Pikachu said putting some on his food. He warily took a bite. Instantly he smiled a blissful smile. *Wow this is good! * He exclaimed.

*I thought you would like it, * she said then she moved back to her seat as Sabrina entered the room.

"I would like to ask you both a favor," she said. Team Rocket has taken over Saffron City. They are currently in Sliph Co. building and from there are controlling the city. The jr. trainers and I can evict them from the city, but I need someone sneak in and disable the psychic dampener that they have on the top floor of the building.

"I'm in if you will let me know the real you after its all over," Gary said.

"Sure I'll do it, Team Rocket will do terrible things unless we stop them," Ash said.

A choir of pokémon cries sang out indicating that the pokémon would help as well.

The cover of night masked the approach a figure in black. It sunk through the alleys of the city and stopped across from the multi story Sliph Co. It pulled out a walkie-talkie from its side and spoke in it.

"Hatboy to Pendent, Hatboy to Pendent, I am in position. Are you as well?" Ash said to Gary.

Gary answered back from the back of his fearow. "I will be in a minute. Wait for my signal before you proceed," After cutting Ash off he instructed his bird pokémon to land on the roof of a building near Sliph co. Landing he got off, quietly thanked Fearow, then pulled a rope with a hook on the end out of the black backpack he was wearing. Throwing it so that it connected with an open window he checked on the pokémon who was in the backpack.

"Pika, if worse comes to worse, look out for yourself," Gary whispered worriedly.

*But. * Pikachu said before he was interrupted.

"No buts, just do it," Gary said slightly more upset. His pokémon sadly nodded. Gary zipped the bag up, and then he proceeded to shimmy up the rope to the open window. He reached it with no problems and quickly climbed inside. Looked back in forth he noticed that he had entered in a luckily empty office.

"Pendent to Hatboy, Pendent to Hatboy, I have made entry proceeding to rendezvous point," Gary said into his two-way radio. Pikachu handed the boy a map. He quickly glanced at it, then out the door. Checking it again he found out he was on the sixth floor. He walked out into the hall and quickly but quietly moved down it to the stairs. Glancing around a corner he saw a lone rocket guarding the stairs. Quietly he released his growlithe.

"Around that corner is a man in black, I want you to use Ember to stun him then Take Down," Gary said. Growlithe nodded, then dashed around the corner. Before the surprised rocket could react he was burned then knocked out by the puppy pokémon.

"Good boy," Gary praised as he searched the fallen rocket. He found a card key for the first through sixth floors. (Ok they master keys are stored on the fifth floor. I need to meet Ash at the door, then go get one of those, then proceed to the roof,) Gary thought as descended the stairs. Peeking out the window on the first floor entry door he notice one rocket sleeping at the desk. Growlithe and Gary snuck up to the guard then Gary quickly sent him into a deeper sleep with a quick chop. (Thank you Janine for those martial arts lessons.)

"Hatboy, I've at the rendezvous point, now opening the way," Gary said into his radio. He opened the doors and Ash quickly dashed in. Gary left the doors on unlocked and placed a virus that Sabrina gave him that fooled the system into believing that it was locked still.

"Mission one completed," Gary said as Growlithe ran over to the elevator and Ash followed. Gary ran over as well. When he got there the doors were already opening. Ash relapsed his bulbasaur as soon as everyone got into the elevator. They rose to the fifth floor.

"So Ash ready, for the fight of your life?" Gary asked smirked.

"I'm ready if you are," Ash retorted.

"I was born ready," Gary said as the elevator came to a stop. The words Fifth floor security block was printed on the wall across from the opening doors. The two trainers nodded to each other then rush out to their fates.

"Growlithe, Leer," Gary screamed out as his fire type dodged the sludge attack. Growlithe's eyes started to glow an eerie yellow. The Rocket's koffing flinched back and bulbasaur hit it with a cut attack knocking it out.

The Rocket cursed out loud then said, "You kids are in over your heads. The boss will show no mercy." He started before Bulbasaur put him to sleep. Ash, Growlithe, Gary and Bulbasaur entered the room the rocket was guarding. The room was filled with file cabinets. After some searching and many broken locks later they both found a master card key.

"Good, now Hatboy don't let them find that if you get caught," Gary said.

"I won't get caught," Ash said.

"Perhaps, but you should prepare for the worse and hope for the best," Gary said as he started to leave the room. Ash gave him a quizzical gaze as he and his pokémon left the room.

"Gary I noticed you've changed," Ash said to him as the head for the elevator. "You're a lot like your old self."

"Its pendent as long as we are on this mission," Gary said tersely. The two reached the elevator. They waited in silence for it to arrive. (Holly.) Gary thought. As the elevator opened he recalled Growlithe.

"I am preparing for the worse. We made a lot of noise on this floor and someone might have noticed. So please follow my lead," Gary asked Ash before he could comment. As the lift rose, Ash and Gary gave their poké belts to their pikachu. Gary also gave his Master Card key to Pikachu. The each placed there pokémon in there back packs. And they each keep one pokéball. By the time that they were done, the elevator reached the top floor. The two dropped their bags behind a plant next to the elevator concealing them from sight. Then they snuck through the hallways of the top floor till they reached a room with an electrical danger warning that was on the other side of a large squarer room with no windows.

"This is it," Gary warily. He was on guard do to the lack of security. Ash nodded just as warily. They opened the door to find a huge black and sliver machine. It had a parabolic antenna on the top and a glass window in which the two boys could see inside the machine.

"This is a PSI dampener that Sabrina told us about," Ash said. Gary called his Sandshrew out, and Ash released his Pidgeotto.

"Swift," Gary ordered. His sand mouse fired hundreds of glowing yellow stars into the machine damaging it. Then Ash and Pidgeotto finished it with a Razor Wind attack causing it to collapse into a pile of scrap metal.

"Time to get out of here," Ash said as the four left the room to find about of hundred rockets waiting for them lead by a girl with blond curly, hair, a red and white cap, a white skirt with a red stripe on the around bottom, matching long white boots and gloves with a red stripe around the tops and a black blouse with a blood red R on it.

"I'm agent 009, but you boys can call me Domino. And you two WILL not be leaving with out experiencing Team Rockets hospitality," She said. Before Gary or Ash could give an order, she threw two sliver rings at their pokémon, trapping Pidgeotto's wings and Sandshrew's arms. Then the Rocket's attacked.

Next Vision:

What Janine, Brock and Misty did with out the boys.

Butch and Cassidy come back along with our favorite three Danin.

What pokémon was Janine carrying all of this time?

The next vision is the second part of this one!

{Note}

Sorry this was so late, but I didn't any opportunities to type on my family trip. I will have the next part out sooner.

And sorry if I made Ash sound mean or stupid; I tried to convey his earnest outspokenness and the fact he didn't know Gary had changed. He still thought of him as the same egotistical boy, and instead of a different egotistical boy. I hope I didn't mess up to bad.
