Chapter 9 Alolan Raichu and Wimpod.

Hello everyone, here's chapter 9 this chapter and the next mainly cover the events of the gang training for the upcoming tournament it'll include a Pokemon hunter as well as Pokemon from the Alola region let's begin.

The story begins in the Alola region on Akala Island we see a female Pikachu collecting berries to have for dinner until it just needs one more berry as it looks it sees an Oran Berry on the forest floor. Pikachu looks around making sure there are no other Pokemon is around Pikachu walks to the berry as it's about to pick it up a cage suddenly falls from the sky trapping Pikachu.

Pikachu tries using Thunderbolt to break the cage but it's not working this cage can absorb its electric type moves Pikachu hears foots steps and sees a man. He's bald with tan skin and wearing scuba gear and has two other men with him.

"You see boss I told you it would work" A man with red hair says

"You were right I thought it would've been harder to find and capture a female Pikachu, but it seems like this one is very young and naïve, bring me the stone" The boss says as one of his underling's hands him a Thunderstone.

"Hello there Pikachu, our client from Vermillion City in the Kanto region wanted a female Alolan Raichu you probably evolved from a Pichu recently but guess what you get to evolve again" The man says happily as he goes and places the stone on the scared Pikachu who screams as it begins to evolve.

1 hour later we see a small arthropod Pokemon called a Wimpod it was hiding in its rock all morning it was scared of other Pokemon and Pokemon of its own kind as well since they would always pick on it whenever it came to food. Wimpod looks around but doesn't see any food anywhere it signs as its about to give up until notices an Oran Berry Wimpod happily runs toward the berry it's about to eat it until a cage comes down not only trapping Wimpod but shocking it as well Wimpod screams in pain and sees three people walk toward it.

"Well, our plan worked again boss" The underling says as the boss bends down and looks at Wimpod.

"Hello Wimpod, my name is Hunter D me and my crew here got a contract from someone in Vermillion City who'll pay us big money if we bring a female Alolan Raichu and a Wimpod" Hunter D says in a smile as Wimpod looks at the man terrified.

"Oh, don't be scared Wimpod you and Raichu will have a new home" D says as one of his underlings pickup Wimpod's cage as they walk to a submarine that looks like a Sharpedo they enter the underling carrying Wimpod puts Wimpod in the same room Raichu is in. Wimpod looks at Raichu it can tell it's very young and seems like it's been crying the entire time Wimpod even though its scared tries to comfort Raichu but Raichu turns away and begins to cry again making Wimpod sad.

"Alright men set sail for Kanto it should take us 3 days to get there" Hunter D says with his crew nodding as the submarine begins to go underwater and start heading in the direction of Kanto.


3 days later Hunter D and his underlings have made it to Vermillion City they are carrying Raichu and Wimpod's cages as they walk to mee there client Wimpod looks around and feels this is there chance to escape. Wimpod begins to thrash about causing the man holding it to drop Wimpod's cage as it breaks when it falls on the ground. Raichu notices it also begins to thrash making the other man holding on Raichu's cage to drop it as it breaks as well Wimpod and Raichu begin to run away (Raichu is flying through the air) in the direction of a forest.

"YOU IDIOTS GO AFTER THEM!" Hunter D yells at his two underlings who nod and begin to run in the direction Wimpod and Raichu went.

"Our client isn't going to like this" Hunter D says as he begins to call the woman who hired him.

Meanwhile, in the forest of Vermillion City we see Ash and friends training their Pokemon Ash is really looking forward to the tournament these pass 3 days after losing to Paul he's been training nonstop the day after he lost to Paul he got a letter from Leaf saying she's excited to see Ash and Misty again she'll meet up with them on the day of the tournament Leaf will also be training hard as well and Gary will be there too. Ash also captured a new Pokemon during this time as he Misty and Brock were fishing on the Vermillion docks Ash fished out a red crab Pokemon called a Krabby Ash threw a Pokeball instantly catching the crab Pokemon Brock congratulated Ash while making Misty jealous as she wanted to capture a Krabby as well.

During the past 2 days Krabby has really grown to like the group Gyarados has also decided to take Krabby under its wing to train it with Squirtle joining as well. Currently there's a training battle between Ash's Gyarados and Brock's Onix.

"Use Aqua Tail!" Ash calls as Gyarados gives a mighty roar covering its tail with water

"Counter with Iron Tail!" Brock calls as Onix roars as well with its tail glowing a bright white as it collides with the Aqua Tail

The two Pokemon begin to continuously clash with their tails trying to prove to the other that they're the stronger one both Ash's and Brock's Pokemon give a loud cheer for their teammates. Misty is currently the referee and her Pokemon are also watching the battle excited to see who'll win. Ash currently has with him Pikachu, Gyarados, Charmeleon, Butterfree, Squirtle and Krabby, Ash sent Clefable and Bulbasaur to Oaks lab Prof. Oak and Daisy were interested in Bulbasaur since it used to be the leader of the hidden village and were hoping Bulbasaur could help deal with some of the Pokemon that have disagreements with each other. Clefable after the battle with Paul's Raichu was feeling a bit depressed so Ash decided to let it rest at Oaks lab while Pidgeotto and Bulbasaur keep it company.

Gyarados has also been a great training partner for not only Ash's Pokemon but Misty's and Brock's as well, Charmeleon and Gyarados have even formed a rivalry and always train hard with each other but sometimes Gyarados goes a bit too overboard sometimes injuring Charmeleon on accident, but the fire lizard doesn't mind as its happy it has a strong training partner to make it stronger.

Gyarados and Onix clash one more time as they both begin to pant.

"Let's end this Onix use Iron Head!" Brock calls as Onix covers its body in steel energy as it charges forward at Gyarados.

"Dodge then use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls as Gyarados is able to dodge the Iron Head hitting Onix with Hydro Pump the giant rock snake flies through the air before crashing back down defeated.

"Onix is unable to battle Gyarados is the winner" Misty calls as Ash, his Pokemon and Misty's Pokemon begin to cheer.

"Way to go Gyarados!" Ash says Gyarados turns back to its trainer and its other teammates with a happy smile it then charges and wraps all of them in a tight hug.

"Let… us… go… Gyarados" Ash says as he and his Pokemon struggle to get out of the hug, but Gyarados doesn't let them go as it begins to rub its face on all of them tickling them Misty and her Pokemon laugh as Brock with his Pokemon go to Onix.

"You did well Onix even though we lost I can feel we're getting stronger" Brock says as he comforts Onix with the rest of Brocks Pokemon agreeing Onix nods in agreement, Brock applies a Hyper Potion on Onix making it feel better as he and his Pokemon walk over to Ash (Gyarados finally let Ash and his Pokemon go).

"Hey why don't we take a break from training and have lunch" Brock suggested with Ash, Misty and the other Pokemon agreeing Ash then looks at Krabby who's punching its pinchers in the air.

"Hey Krabby, do you want to still train?" Ash asks with the little crab nodding its head making Ash smile.

"Okay how about this once lunch is over, I'll have you and Squirtle have a training battle with each other" Ash says Krabby looks over at Squirtle who nods as Krabby agrees happily as it goes to help prepare for lunch.


20 minutes pass Ash, Misty and Brock are at the table eating their lunch with Pikachu and Vaporeon next to Ash and Misty while the other Pokemon eat their food separately from the trainers. The Pokemon enjoy eating their food that Brock made for them Squirtle even shares some of its food with Krabby and Seel who were still hungry making both Pokemon happy, Gyarados, Charmeleon and Sandshrew have an eating competition to see who can finish their food faster, but all this does is give them an upset stomach making the other Pokemon and trainers laugh.

Pikachu and Vaporeon then hear something coming from the bushes and go to investigate with Ash, Misty and Brock walking with them.

"What do you sense Pikachu, Vaporeon?" Ash asks but soon gets his answer when a Raichu and Wimpod jump out shocking Ash, Pikachu and Brock while Misty and Vaporeon scream when they see Wimpod (Vaporeaon has the same fear of bugs as Misty)

"BUGGGGGGGG!" "VAAAAAAAA!" Misty and Vaporeon scream and are about to run but Wimpod jumps on Misty's face making Misty scream even more as she runs in the direction of the table crashing into it as Wimpod flies off Misty's face and lands in the middle of the groups Pokemon who were eating.

Wimpod looks at its surroundings and sees the groups Pokemon looking at making Wimpod scared as it gives an ear-piercing scream out of fear hurting the ears of the other Pokemon as they try to cover their ears. Unfortunately, Onix and Gyarados aren't able to cover their ears as they roar in pain as they begin to fire Hydro Pumps and Rockslide respectively trying to make the noise stop. All it does is hurt the other groups Pokemon Charmeleon is mad that it got hit with a Hydro Pump it then fires a Flamethrower but instead of hitting Gyarados it hit Squirtle and Sandshrew making them mad then chaos breaks loose as all the Pokemon other than Pikachu and Vaporeon start attacking each other in an all-out brawl. Wimpod is able to slip away safely as it ran and is clinging on Misty's leg making Misty scream even louder as she begins to run around in circles trying to get Wimpod off her leg, but it won't let go.

"Ash I'm going to go calm the Pokemon down you help Misty" Brock says as he begins to run towards the Pokemon who are battling each other as Ash goes to help Misty with Vaporeon. Pikachu wants to go as well but notices the weird looking Raichu cowering in fear from all the chaos Pikachu signs and goes to comfort the Pokemon. Raichu looks and sees Pikachu comforting it making the mouse happy.

"Misty stop!" Ash calls as he and Vaporeon continue to run after the destressed Misty

"Not until this bug let's go of my leg!" Misty responds with Wimpod holding on tightly

"Sorry Misty I didn't want to do this Vaporeon help me out use Hydro Pump" Ash calls as Vaporeon nods firing the water hitting Misty and Wimpod as Misty falls on the ground groaning in pain Ash walks up to her and is able to pull Wimpod off her leg. Brock was able to stop the Pokemon from fighting thanks to Butterfree using sleep powder putting them to sleep and is now healing their wounds.

"Thanks for the help Butterfree" Brocks says with Butterfree nodding its head as Brock goes to heal it.

"Man, what Pokemon is this?" Ash says as he takes out his Pokedex "Wimpod, the Turn Tail Pokémon. A Bug and Water type. From beaches to seabeds, Wimpod live in all kinds of places. They eat anything, even if it's rotten. Nature's vacuum cleaners!" Pokedex says as Misty ears perk up when she learns that Wimpod is also a water type as Ash then scans the weird looking Raichu still being comforted by Pikachu.

"Raichu, Alola Form. The Mouse Pokémon. An Electric and Psychic type. Raichu manipulates electricity with its mind, and its psychic powers allow it to use its tail as transportation." The Pokedex says shocking the group.

"Whoa so this is an Alolan Raichu and its part Psychic type that's cool" Ash says with sparkles in his eyes

"But why are Pokemon that are native to the Alola region are in Kanto?" Misty asks now recovered

"I'm not sure but if I were to guess it would be" Brock was going to finish but the gang get their answer once they see two men appear from the bushes.

"Ah there you are you two costed us a lot of trouble now it's time to come back with us" Underling 1 says as Raichu hides behind Pikachu and Wimpod jumps out of Ash's hand to hide behind Misty and Vaporeon making them both freeze up in fear.

"Hey kids will you be able to give us those Pokemon we would really appreciate it" Underling 2 asks with a smile.

"Sorry it doesn't seem like Raichu and Wmipod want to go with you" Ash says

"Who are you guys anyway?" Brock asks as he stands next to Ash and Misty

"Like you need to know" Underling 1 says with a smile

"We're Pokemon hunters" Underling 2 says proudly making 1 mad

"Pokemon hunters? I see my guess was right then" Brock says, at that point everyone hears footsteps coming from the bushes the group see a man with tan skin and scuba gear.

"Ah there you are" The man says as the underlings look at him happily

"Hello there children my name is Hunter D, those Pokemon belong to us if you would please hand them over I would greatly appreciate it" D says with a smile making Raichu and Wimpod even more scared the group notice as Pikachu and Vaporeon get into their battle ready stance's the groups other Pokemon are starting to wake up as well with Butterfree explaining what's going on currently.

"We already told your two friends that were not handing these two over" Ash says with anger in his voice

"Besides what did you do to them to make both of them terrified of you?!" Misty asks angerly as with Wimpod still behind her as Hunter D thinks.

"Oh nothing really for Raichu there we trapped it in a cage when it was a Pikachu that just recently evolved from Pichu and evolved it again with a Thunderstone, Wimpod are normally very scared creatures so all we did to it was trap it in a cage that would shock it and had the two of them stay in a dark room in our Submarine" Hunter D responds happily making the 3 trainers more angry there other Pokemon get angry as well after listening to that.

"That's horrible I now understand why this Raichu looks young it's because you forced it to evolve to soon before it matured as a Pikachu" Brock says angerly

"I don't really see the harm our client wanted a female Alolan Raichu we saw a young native Pikachu, trapped it and evolved it that's all" Hunter D responds

"Still, it's not right I can tell just by looking at it that Raichu has been crying the whole time after it evolved, I won't let you guys get away with this!" Ash says Pikachu as well as Ash's other Pokemon get ready to battle as Raichu looks at Ash curiously.

"Even though Wimpod is part bug I will not stand for you abusing Pokemon I don't like bug types, but I'll do my best to protect Wimpod" Misty says as her, Brock and their Pokemon get ready to battle Wimpod looks at Misty it can tell that she's terrified of it but to go so far to protect it makes Wimpod happy.

"Sign fine have it your way besides I mainly love doing things by force and while we're at it we'll steal your Pokemon as well" Hunter D says as he and his underlings send out their Pokemon. The two underlings send out a Palpitoad, Araquanid (making Misty and Vaporeon scared) and a Crawdaunt. Hunter D brings out a Gyarados (it glares at Ash's Gyarados and Brock's Onix), Seismitoad, Cloyster and a Poilwrath (its bigger than Damian's).

The group see the new water Pokemon not native to Kanto and want to get excited but know that the situation is serious as they can't afford to make any mistakes, there Pokemon are ready as well even though Krabby knows this isn't going to be a fun training battle it's still excited to battle powerful opponents as they'll be good training for the little crab. Everyone stares at each other for a few moments as Hunter D's underlings make the first move.

"Palpitoad Hydro Pump!" they call as both toads fire the large stream of water at the groups Pokemon

"Use Thunderbolt!" Ash, Misty and Brock call as Pikachu, Starmie and Geodude fire their own electric bolts of lightning colliding with the Hydro Pump fired by the two toad like Pokemon.

"Crawdaunt use Crab Hammer!" The underlings call as the two big Lobster Pokemon charge forward with their pinchers glowing.

"Krabby counter with your Crab Hammer and Squirtle counter with Aqua Tail!" Ash calls as Krabby and Squirtle jump forward using their respective moves to collide with Crawdaunt, Squirtle is able to successfully counter, but Krabby unfortunately was knocked back as the Crawdaunt was too strong injured the little crab as this makes Ash's Gyarados angry as it charges forward at the large Lobster

"Gyarados use Ice fang!" Ash calls as Gyarados teeth grow bigger becoming like ice and bites down hard on Crawdaught causing damage and knocking it out, making the hunters angry, D's Gyarados is impressed and Krabby looks in awe at how strong its master is and wants to continue battling as it struggles to get up.

"Araquand use Lunge!" both underlings call as the big spider Pokemon charge at Misty's and Brocks Pokemon.

"Seel use Ice Beam and Vaporeon use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls as both her Pokemon were able to fend off the large spider making Wimpod more impressed with Misty.

"Zubat use Supersonic and Sandshrew use Fury swipes!" Brock calls as Zubat quickly screams confusing Araquaned and Sandshrew begins to swipe at the large spider's face.

"Knock Sandshrew back with Liquidation!" Underling 2 commands as Araquaned hits Sandshrew full of water that's covering is arm.

"Sandshrew!" Brock cries out as Sandshrew falls below Brock's feet it's not knocked out but is seriously injured.

"Hah take that" Underling 2 says

"Call for your next move already!" D yells in anger with 2 nodding

"Palpitoad, Araquaned use Hydro Pump!" Underling 2 calls as the toad and spider fire the highly pressured move at Brock, Ash, and Misty look on in horror and are about to help but D's Gyarados fire's a Hydro Pump near them to stop them from advancing. Ash's Gyarados and Charmeleon charge at D's Pokemon the two Gyarados clash heads with Charmeleon getting into a grapple with Poilwrath, Onix is busy dealing with Seismitoad and is unable to help its trainer.

As the Hydro Pump gets closer Brock closes his eyes expecting the worst, he waits but nothing happen he opens his eyes and sees. Geodude doing its best to stop the water from hurting Brock and Sandshrew Zubat and Butterfree fly ahead Butterfree uses Giga drain on Palpitoad (when it was at Oaks lab Daisy taught this move to Butterfree) knocking out the toad and Zubat uses Air Slash on Araquaed it doesn't knockout the giant spider but does serious damage to it.

"Thanks guys" "Shrew" Brock and Sandshrew say happily the 3 Pokemon nod Geodude then begins to glow a bright white, everyone is surprised as Geodude is no longer and Geodude but a Graveler. Unlike a Kantoian Graveler Brock's Graveler is a lighter grey with eyebrows and some yellow dots all over its body.

"That's great Graveler you evolved" Brock says happily, with Graveler nodding.

"Just because it evolved doesn't mean anything Araquand use Liguidation!" Underling 2 yells as the giant spider charges forward at Graveler.

"Use Rock Polish to dodge then Thunder Punch!" Brock calls as Graveler quickly dodges then charges up all 4 of its fists landing multiple hits on the water spider and finally knocking it out leaving underling 2 with no more Pokemon.

"NOOOOO!" Underling 2 yells in defeat as D and 1 look at him disappointed

"Great job Graveler" Brock says happily as he Sandshrew and Zubat go and hug it. Ash and Misty smile then get back to their battles.

"Butterfree help out Squirtle with Bug Buzz!" Ash calls as Butterfree fly's over firing green bug energy on Crawdaunt the attack hits causing super effective damage since Crawdaunt is part dark.

"Squirtle end it with Rapid Spin!" Ash calls as Squirtle begins to spin hitting the giant Lobster knocking it out.

"Good job guys!" Ash says with Squirtle and Butterfree giving each other a high five.

"Starmie use Psychic to hold it in place, Seel, Vaporeon finish it with Ice Beam!" Misty calls as Starmie uses Psychic to hold Araquaned in place while Seel and Vaporeon combine their Ice Beams to freeze the giant water spider knocking it out Misty and her Pokemon cheer at their victory Wimpod cheers as well.

"I'm not done yet Palpitoad use Mud Bomb!" Underling 1 calls as the blue toad fires a big ball of mud at Pikachu and Raichu.

"Pikachu use Iron Tail to cut it!" Ash calls as Pikachu cuts the ball in half impressing Raichu.

"Krabby use Crabhammer!" Ash calls, Krabby shoots forward hitting Palpitoad in the stomach knocking it out as well Underling 1 has no more Pokemon left.

"Great job Pikachu and Krabby" Ash cheers as Pikachu and Krabby give Ash a smile, Raichu looks up at Ash also giving him a smile.

"I don't believe this how could you two lose to a bunch of kids?!" Hunter D yells at his 2 crew members angerly with the two of them looking at their boss apologetically

"If you want something done right do it yourself Cloyster use Icicle Crash, Gyarados Thunderbolt! Poilwrath Hydro Pump and Seismitoad use Drain Punch!" D commands Cloyster summons giant icicles from the sky and flings them at the group who try their best to dodge but it hits Butterfree and Zubat immediately knocking them out, D's Gyarados shoots a Thunderbolt at Ash's Gyarados damaging the blue serpent, but it can still battle, Poilwrath tries using Hydro Pump on Charmeleon, but the fire lizard dodges at last second it doesn't want to get hit with another Hydro Pump today. Seismitoad jumps and hits Onix's lower jaw with Drain punch injuring the giant rock snake but it's not out yet.

"Onix use Iron Head!" Brock yells Onix roars covering itself in steel energy charging at Seismitoad.

"Catch it and throw it at Gyarados" D calls as Seissmitoad first rolls its eyes at its trainer's command (Seismitoad doesn't like Hunter D) stops Onix with one hand picks it up and throws it at Ash's Gyarados who didn't see Onix coming as the giant rock snake crashes into Gyarados and they both fall on the ground groaning in pain.

"Now Gyarados Hyper Beam!" D calls as his Gyarados fires a big beam that engulfs Onix and Ash's Gyarados Ash and Brock yell in concern for their Pokemon. As the dust clears, we see that Ash's Gyarados took the full force of the Hyper Beam protecting the already weakened Onix, Onix looks at Gyarados telling it thank you Gyarados smiles at Onix happy that it's okay before staring back at the other Gyarados who's currently recharging from the Hyper Beam it fired.

Ash's Gyarados takes a deep breath as a ball of orange energy starts forming from its mouth everyone looks as Ash smiles.

"No, you're kidding me it learned Hyper Beam?!" D says

"You see my Gyarados is tough ever since it was a Magikarp it was very durable and now as a Gyarados its defense increased a lot. Now Gyarados Hyper Beam!" Ash calls as Gyarados fires the beam that looks even bigger than the one D's Gyarados used.

"Gyarados counter with your Hyper Beam!" D calls but his Gyarados is unable to as its still recharging from its earlier attack its then consumed by the Hyper Beam the beam also flies toward Hunter D as well it's about to hit him, but Cloyster moves its trainer out of the way as its also consumed in the Hyper Beam. After a few moments the beam stops not only did it knock out D's Gyarados and Cloyster, but it also destroys most of the forest in the process.

Everyone is shocked at the power Ash's Gyarados displayed Krabby and Charmeleon are amazed, Krabby is happy that its master continues to prove why it's really strong, Charmeleon is happy to see its rival break its limits and get stronger making Charmeleon want to one day surpass Gyarados.

Hunter D's Seismitoad is impressed it thought Hunter D's Gyarados was strong, but Ash's Gyarados is stronger it really wants to battle it.

"That was great Gyarados you really showed them and congrats on learning Hyper Beam" Ash says happily as the groups Pokemon begin to cheer, Gyarados looks at the group smiling one more time before closing its eyes and falling over shocking the group everyone runs over to it.

"Cook, cook" "Char, char" Krabby and Charmeleon say worriedly as Gyarados still has its eyes closed and is panting.

"It looks like that Hyper Beam really took a lot out of it" Brock says

"We need to take it to a Pokemon Center" Misty says with Ash nodding and returns Gyarados.

"Thank you for protecting Onix Gyarados take a good rest" Ash says to Gyarados Pokeball before putting it back on his belt.

Raichu and Wimpod now standing next to each other not with the rest of the group they watch and see that these people really do care for their Pokemon and their Pokemon do the same. Raichu and Wimpod begin to think that they want to be strong as well and feel these people can help them reach that goal, they begin to walk over to the group but are then suddenly grabbed by D's Poilwrath they scream alerting the group.

"Hey, let them g-"Before Ash could finish Seismitoad appears behind the group and launches a surprised Hydro Pump heading straight for Ash, Misty and Brock. Squirtle, Starmie and Sandshrew act quickly as they knock their trainers out of the way as they get hit by the strong Hydro Pump knocking out the 3 of them surprising the group and their Pokemon.

"That's right Seismitoad crush those brats and their Pokemon use any means necessary" Hunter D says giving Seismitoad the okay to battle on its own (Seismitoad isn't doing this for D but to test itself)

Seismitoad then uses Muddy Water creating a big wave of brown water, Seel and Vaporeon use Ice Beam freezing the move in the process but that was a distraction Seimitoad charges forward through the frozen wave, uses Brick Break on Misty's Seel knocking it out instantly and landing a Drain Punch on Vaporeon not knocking it out but doing major damage to its left hide leg Seismitoad smiles and begins to charge at the group again.

Charmeleon roars and begins to charge forward at the large toad using dragon claw on both its arms, the two mons are about to collide, but Seismitoad smiles as it jumps over Charmeleon tricking the fire lizard as it wasn't going to battle it as it sticks its tongue out at Charmeleon and continues heading towards the group. this makes Charmeleon mad with steam coming out of its head as it runs after Seismitoad.

Seismitoad then stops when it sees Pikachu, Graveler and Brocks injured Onix and Krabby blocking its way it looks behind and sees Charmeleon and the injured Vaporeon behind as well all Pokemon glare at Seismitoad in anger while Seismitoad smiles as it begins to run forward again.

"Graveler, Onix stop it with Stone Edge!" Brock calls as both Pokemon summon large sharp rocks from the ground as it heads straight for Seismitoad, Seismitoad isn't fazed as it uses Brick Break to destroy the rocks it then jumps in the air and starts to form something that looks like a Focus Blast it fires the move hitting Onix in the face as the giant rock snake falls over defeated.

"Thank you Onix return" Brock says returning Onix, as Seismitoad lands on the ground still smiling making, Pikachu, Krabby, Charmeleon, Graveler and Vaporeon angrier.

"This Seismitoad is tough I'm not sure how we beat it" Misty says in a concerned voice

"Don't give up now Misty we can win I'm sure of it" Ash says gritting his teeth as he thinks on what to do next.

"Hahahahaha please you can't beat Seismitoad ever since I got it 4 years ago it's never lost a battle as long as I give it tough opponents to fight its happy" D says as Seismitoad gives him an annoyed look its true it only partnered with D so it could test itself against tough opponents the first 3 years were that Seismitoad battle a lot of strong Pokemon it's won all of its battles but lately it's been bored Seismitoad feels it could be doing so much more with its life than be some random Pokemon hunters Pokemon. It wants to take on more powerful opponents and be with a trainer that'll make it stronger than it already is. Staying with Hunter D won't help it reach that goal, so Seismitoad decided that once this job is over whether they succeed or not it's going to crush its Pokeball and find a more suitable trainer that'll satisfy its desires Seismitoad then begins to glare at the rest of the groups Pokemon waiting for them to attack.

"Pikachu run around Seismitoad with Quick Attack!" Ash calls as Pikachu quickly dashes forward and begins to run around Seismitoad the big toad smirks as it knows what they're trying to do Seismitoad jumps as it sees Pikachu was going to hit its legs with Iron Tail.

"Krabby use Crabhammer, Charmeleon use Dragon Claw!" Ash calls as Krabby and Charmeleon jump at Seismitoad at both sides. Seismitoad smiles and counters both attacks with drain punch Krabby is knocked away with Graveler catching it Charmeleon is able to hold its ground impressing Seismitoad.

"Charmeleon use Flamethrower!" Ash calls as Charmeleon quickly fires the fire right in Seismitoad's face, Seismitoad falls on the ground groaning a little in pain it wasn't expecting Flamethrower to be powerful that's why it didn't dodge Ash and Brock then call for their next moves.

"Pikachu Iron Tail! and Krabby use Vice grip" Ash calls

"Graveler use Rock Smash!" Brock calls as all three Pokemon hit Seismitoad in the stomach damaging the Pokemon greatly and lowering its defense.

Instead of being angry Seismitoad smiles at this it loves being challenged and pushed to the edge, Seismitoad smiles as it jumps using Brick Break on Krabby and Graveler knocking them on the ground and knocking them out leaving Brock with no more Pokemon to battle, Misty still has Vaporeon who's injured, and Ash has Pikachu and Charmeleon left who haven't taken much damage.

"Misty I'll have Pikachu and Charmeleon weaken Seismitoad as much as they can then you use Vaporeon to finish it" Ash says with Misty nodding"

"Like those two weaklings can beat Seismitoad hahaha" Hunter D says while laughing with his Poilwrath and underlings laughing as well Raichu and Wimpod unable to do anything continue to watch as the three Pokemon glare at each other.

"Sei!" Seismitoad yells as it fires a Hydro Pump.

"Pikachu counter with Thunderbolt Charmeleon charge at Seismitoad with Dragon Claw" Ash calls Pikachu's Thuderbolt clashes with the Hydro Pump creating an explosion Charmeleon quickly charges forward with its claws on both arms covered in dragon energy getting closer to Seismitoad.

"Toad!" Seismitoad yells as it decided to counter with Brick Break, Charmeleon and Seismitoad clash and keep going back and forth not letting the other get the upper hand both landing hits on each other. Seismitoad then uses Drain Punch on Charmeleon's stomach causing the fire lizard to cough in pain as its energy is drained but it won't go down yet as fire begins to form from its mouth.

"Charmeleon use Fire Fang!" Ash calls Charmeleon heats up its mouth with fire biting hard on Seismitoad's arm Seismitoad yells in pain but hits Charmeleon the head using Brick Break with its free arm forcing Charmeleon to let go as its slams face first on the ground. Charmeleon then struggles to get up Seismitoad notices and is about to hit Charmeleon with another Brick Break but stops as it's consumed in flames.

"TOAD!" Seismitoad yells in pain at the fire burning its body, Hunter D and his underlings have a shocked expression as Charmeleon smiles.

"Now Pikachu use Iron Tail!" Ash calls as Pikachu hits the burning Seismitoad in the stomach knocking the big toad 5 feet away.

"No this can't be happening come on Seismitoad don't lose to these kids" Hunter D yell's as Seismitoad gets up with a smile it's happy that these kids Pokemon are giving it a challenge.

"Now Vaporeon use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls as Vaporeon fires the Hydro Pump hoping to end this battle Hunter D smiles Brock notices realizing Misty's mistake.

"Vaporeon Stop!" Brock yells hoping Vaporeon stops Ash and Misty look at him in confusion, but Brock was too late instead of defeating Seismitoad the Hydro Pump heals Seismitoad to full heath shocking the group as Hunter D laughs.

"Hahahahaha did you not know that Seismitoad's ability is water absorb? You kids are done now" Hunter D says while laughing as Misty realizes her mistake.

"How can I be so stupid" Misty says to herself gritting her teeth as Hunter D and his underlings continue to laugh.

"Now Seismitoad defeat those Pokemon" D says as Seismitoad charges at Pikachu and Charmeleon as they continue their battle. Raichu and Wimpod look on in horror as the people and Pokemon who were protecting them are now in serious trouble they try to wriggle out of Poilwrath's arms but it's holding them tightly. Raichu looks on as it sees Pikachu getting seriously injured Raichu decided it's had enough as Psychic energy begins to flow thru its body. Wimpod notices Raichu it looks up at Poilwrath and spits sand in its eye's.

"Poil" Poilwrath cries in pain as it goes to rub its eyes its grip on Wimpod loosens as the little bug is able to land back on the ground safely and quickly dashes away. Poilwrath sees Wimpod running away its about to go chase after it but notices Raichu glowing and gets scared

"What's wrong Poli-"D was about ask be as he and his underlings turn they see Raichu glowing with Psychic energy and the Pokemon releases it.

"RAI!" Raichu yells as it unleashes a powerful Psychic attack that knocks out Poilwrath and knocking back the hunters. The group and Seismitoad look back at what happened and are impress, Raichu still angry looks at Seismitoad and charges forward using a Psychic on the toad holding it up in the air as it begins to charge a Focus Blast.

"To be able to hold Seismitoad in the air with Psychic and charge a Focus Blast at the same time is impressive" Brock says with Ash and Misty nodding

Raichu finishes charging and fire's the Focus Blast hitting Seismitoad the big toad falls on the ground groaning in pain. Even though Focus Blast isn't a super effective move it did a lot of damage, but this makes Seismitoad excited it then begins to charge towards Raichu.

"Get out of there Raichu!" Ash calls but Raichu stands her ground as she uses Grass Knot which trips Seismitoad causing more damage Seismitoad is about to get up again but sees Wimpod in front of its face.

"Come on Seismitoad knock that weak bug away!" D yells with Seismitoad nodding as it goes to hit Wimpod with a Brick Break Wimpod dodges and fires a Sand Attack in Seismitoad's eyes causing Seismitoad to scream in pain.

"TOAD!" Seismitoad yells as it begins to furiously start rubbing its eyes.

"Seismitoad look up!" D yells as Seismitoad is able to finally get rid of the sand from its eyes it looks up and see what look like 3 Pokemon falling down towards it. Its Ash's Pikachu and Charmeleon alongside Misty's Vaporeon they're about to hit Seismitoad with Iron Tail, Dragon Claw and Quick Attack.

"SEISMITOAD DODGE!" D yells in worry Seismitoad is about to dodge but its being held in place it looks seeing Raichu smirking holding it with Psychic.

"GOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ash and Misty yell as their Pokemon hit Seismitoad with their moves causing a big explosion. Once the dust clears it shows Pikachu, Charmeleon and Vaporeon standing over the now defeated Seismitoad.

"OHHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" D yells with his underlings doing the same with the gang cheering.

"We did it!" Ash, Misty, Brock and their Pokemon cheer, Raichu and Wimpod run over to the group.

"You're amazing Raichu" "Char" "Pika" Ash says with Charmeleon and Pikachu agreeing Raichu gets a small blush from the complement.

"You Did great Wimpod" Brock says Wimpod is happy to hear Brock say that the little bug looks over at Misty who's healing Vaporeon the little bug crawls over to them scaring the two in the process.

"Wim?" Wimpod says with a look of interest on its face.

"Hi Wmpod, you did amazing too" "Va" Misty and Vaporeon say nervously, this makes Wimpod happy as it goes to rub its head on Misty leg scaring her in the process Ash and Brock laugh until they turn and see Seismitoad getting up the toad begins to stare at them.

"Hahaha, I knew you couldn't have lost Seismitoad now use Hydro Pump on those brats!" D commands Ash, Brock Misty and their Pokemon get ready, they wait a few moments, but Seismitoad doesn't fire the move it instead turns around walking away from the group going to its trainer.

"Seismitoad what are you doing attack them!" D yells but Seismitoad continues to walk to D making him and his underlings scared Seismitoad is now in front of D and points its finger to its pokeball.

"Ah I see you want to rest but you can do that after you take care of those kids and their Pokemon besides I'm your trainer you have to do what I say" D says in a sinister voice while holding Seismitoad's Pokeball making Seismitoad a little angry.

"Toad" Seismitoad says as it grab's its Pokeball from D and crushes it shocking everyone.

"You stupid toad what do you think you're doing?!" D yells but Seismitoad smirks as it begins to walk away, D was about to go after it but hears a voice behind him.

"Hey what's going on here?" A woman with brown hair asks as everyone turns to her.

"I was told to meet Hunter D here would that be you?" The brown-haired woman asks.

"Yes, that would be me you must be my client" D says with a smile with the woman nodding her head as she looks around her seeing the destroyed forest and her eyes widen when she sees Raichu and Wimpod.

"You actually got a female Alolan Raichu and Wimpod I'm impressed" The woman says happily

"Yes, but as you can see these brats got in our way, so I just need to deal with them first before I give you the Pokemon" D says with a smile as the group gets ready, but Brock has his finger on his head thinking.

"What's wrong Brock?" Misty asks

"I don't know why but I feel as though I've met this woman before" Brock responds while still thinking

"So, you've been having trouble with these kids?" The woman asks walking next to D

"Yep, don't worry I'll take care of these brats and ge—" Hunter D was about to finish but is tackled to the ground with his hands behind his back and his hands being put in handcuffs.

"Hey what do you think you're doing?!" D yells and gets his answer once the woman takes off her disguise, he and his underlings have a horrified expression on their faces when they see its Officer Jenny.

"Hunter D you are under arrest for poaching Pokemon" Officer Jenny says while on D's back as he struggles to break free his underlings try to make a run for it but two fire puppies like Pokemon stop them as two more Police officers appear putting the two of them in handcuffs as well.

"Are you telling me were our client from the very beginning?!" D asks in anger

"Not at first 3 days ago we found and arrested the woman who made the deal with you I just put on a disguise and changed my voice a little bit so you would think I was your client. It's also convenient that those kids were able to stop you as well" Jenny responds making D angry as he is then put into a Police car Jenny then walks over to Ash and the group.

"Thank you for your service today I don't think we would've been able to defeat D's Pokemon if you hadn't defeated them" Jenny says with a salute then smile as Brock remembers

"Hey, aren't you the Jenny from Cerulean City?" Brock asks with Ash and Misty looking at him confused

"Yep, that's me now that I look at you aren't you the one that asked me out on a date?" Jenny asks with Brock nodding his head.

"So now that we've defeated Hunter D will you reconsider my offer?" Brock asks happily

"Sorry but like I told you before I'm not interested in kids" Jenny says as Brock puts his head down in disappointment.

"Why can't I have a girlfriend" Brock says as Pikachu, Charmeleon and Vaporeon go to console him, Jenny then walks over to Raichu and Wimpod who are hiding behind Ash and Misty respectively.

"Hello there Raichu and Wimpod, I'm sorry you two were taken from your home if you want, I can take you back to the Alola region" Jenny suggested as the two Pokemon begin to think.

For Wimpod it does miss its home but feels once it goes back it'll just get picked on like last time also the other Wimpod didn't even come to help it when it was being taken away Wimpod gives its answer.

"Wimp" Wimpod shakes its head disapproving of going back as it begins to rub on Misty's leg more showing that it wants to stay with her, Misty looks at Wimpod curiously.

"Wait you really want to come with me Wimpod?" Misty asks with Wimpod nodding its head happily as Misty looks at Officer Jenny

"Would that be okay with you Officer Jenny?" Misty asks with Jenny nodding and smiling

"That's fine with me I can tell Wimpod really likes you and I'm not going to force it to go back home if it doesn't want to" Jenny says making Misty happy as she bends down looking at Wimpod at eye level with a Pokeball in her hand.

"So, you ready to join me Wimpod my dream is to one day become a Water Pokemon Master you may be part bug which does scare me but I hope you'll be able to help me with my dream" Misty says as she rubs Wimpod's head and realizing how soft it is making her smile Wimpod then pokes its head on the Pokeball the ball doesn't shake once as it's an instant capture making Misty smile.

"Maybe bugs aren't so bad after all" Misty says to herself as she yells "I caught a Wimpod!" Misty says copying Ash's pose making the boy a little annoyed but doesn't mind as he's happy for his friend, Misty walks over to Brock and Vaporeon who are happy for her, Ash then looks over to Raichu who's still thinking.

Raichu's life for the most part has been pretty good even though it was alone for a long time it didn't mind it also the people and Pokemon in Alola were very kind to it when it was Pichu they took good care of it and feed it as well. Once she evolved into a Pikachu, she wanted to be able to fend for herself she evolved into a Pikachu 7 days ago, so it really didn't get the chance to be as a Pikachu for long since D forced it to evolve. Raichu looks at Ash, his Pikachu and their friends one more time as Raichu makes her choice.

"Rai" Raichu says as it floats up to Ash's shoulder wanting to travel with him

"You're saying you want to travel with this boy Raichu?" Jenny says with Raichu nodding in agreement

"Sounds fine to me I just know he'll take good care of you" Jenny says with a smile, Ash then takes out one of his empty Pokeball's looking over at Raichu

"Hey Raichu thanks for wanting to travel with me my dream is to one day become a Pokemon master seeing you battle today makes me really excited to test out your skills" Ash says happily, Raichu smiles back it's a little worried how it will perform in battles but it looks over at Pikachu the yellow mouse gives it a reassuring look making Raichu calm as it touches the empty Pokeball is immediately sucked inside like Wimpod the ball doesn't shake once and is an instant catch making Ash and Pikachu happy.

"Alright I just caught an Alolan Raichu!" "Pi Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu say happily doing there pose.

"See Misty that's how you do it" Ash says with a smug look with Misty rolling her eyes, then Raichu's Pokeball disappears from Ash's hand going straight to Prof. Oak's lab.

"Well, it was great seeing you kids you don't have to worry about Hunter D or his gang anymore they'll be in prison for a long time" Jenny says with the group nodding before Jenny leaves Ash asks her a question.

"Hey Officer Jenny, what about D's Seismitoad? it crushed its own Pokeball and left its now in the wild somewhere" Ash asks with Jenny thinking

"Hmmmm I wouldn't worry about it if what you say is true then I don't think Seismitoad will cause any harm" Jenny says as Ash asks her another question

"Do you know why Seismitoad would leave?" Ash asks with Brock answering

"During the battle I noticed that whenever D gave Seismitoad a command it didn't like it so I think Seismitoad just lost interest in being with a Pokemon hunter and wants to do something else" Brock responds with Ash nodding his head in understanding.

"Well kids I hope the rest of your journey goes well goodbye" Jenny says as she alongside the Police car's next to her drive off.


20 minutes later the group are now in the Pokemon center they just got their Pokemon healed up Ash is now calling Prof. Oak.

"Hello this is Prof. Oak how may I oh Ash my boy are you calling to make another transfer?" Oak asks happily with Ash nodding his head

"Yes, I would like to have Raichu on my team it's still young and had a bad experience with a Pokemon hunter recently, so I just want it on my team for a little while" Ash says with Oak nodding

"So, who will you be sending over?" Oak asks

"I'll be sending over Gyarados I think it needs a break from battling for a while I'll also be sending over Krabby as well even though I just caught Krabby recently the two of them have a really strong bond already and I'm sure Krabby wants to continue training with Gyarados as well" Ash says with Oak smiling

"That's great Ash, Daisy and I have been interested in your Gyarados for a while now so it would be great to study it, I have Raichu's Pokeball with me so let's begin the transfer" Oak says with Ash nodding they place the Pokeball's on the transfer machine as the Pokeball's vanish before reappearing again.

"I got Raichu's Pokeball Professor" Ash says showing the Pokeball with Oak smiling and showing both Gyarados's and Krabby's Pokeball's have made it safely.

"Is there anything else Ash?" Oak asks

"Oh, um how's Clefable doing is she getting better?" Ash asks curiously

"Yes, it's starting to feel a lot better Bulbasaur and Pidgeotto did a really good job comforting it, Clefable has also been training and helping Daisy take care of any sick or injured Pokemon on the ranch she's a really good caretaker" Oak says with Ash smiling knowing that Clefable is doing great.

"Thanks for telling me Prof. Oak and I believe that's everything I wanted so thank you and tell my mom I said high" Ash says with Oak nodding as they both end the call; Ash then walks over to where Misty and Brock are sitting.

"So did you get Raichu's Pokeball?" Misty asks with Wimpod laying in her lap.

"Yep, Raichu come on out!" Ash says as Raichu comes out of its Pokeball doing a few loops in the air before floating next to Ash and Pikachu it looks over at Wimpod as they both smile at each other.

"I'm happy you're doing great Raichu let's train hard together" "Pikachu" Ash and Pikachu say happily Raichu looks at them with a determined look wanting to test out her new powers more. Brock smiles looking over to his right and sees a poster for a Pokemon breeding competition but that's not the thing that gets him excited it would be the girl on the picture Brock quickly runs over happily as Ash and Misty quickly follow.

"Brock what's wrong?" Ash asks as he and Misty catch up to him

"Look at this poster" Brock says pointing to the poster as Ash and Misty begin to read.

"There will be a Pokemon breeding competition being held in the northern part of Vermillion City tomorrow" Misty reads

"Whoa that's great Brock you're going to compete?!" Ash asks with excitement

"Maybe but look its Suzie the best Pokemon breeder in the world she'll be having a store next to the competition giving out free tips on Pokemon breeding I have to meet her and learn as much as I can" Brock says excitedly Ash and Misty are happy for Brock.

"And maybe she'll become my girlfriend" Brock says with hearts in his eyes as Ash, Misty and even their Pokemon have some sweat coming down from their heads.


It's now nighttime on route 10 close to rock tunnel we see Hunter D's Seismitoad in gauged in a battle with none other than Paul's Grotle both Pokemon look very injured and tired as they're both panting heavily

"You're the first one so far to give Grotle this much trouble in battle I'm impress" Paul says with a smile as Seismitoad charges forward with a Brick Break hoping to end the battle.

"Use Leaf Storm" Paul calls as Grotle summons a big tornado of leaf's that consume Seismitoad the Pokemon roars in pain as it then falls on the ground in defeat. The last thing it sees is a Pokeball hitting its head Seismitoad smiles it finally found a trainer who'll use it to its full potential. Seismitoad is sucked inside the ball shakes 2 times before dinging showing that the capture is complete Paul walks over to the Pokeball picking it up.

He looks at it for a few moments gives a small smile as he returns Grotle he then begins to walk to the Pokemon Center.

That's chapter 9 how do you guys feel about Ash catching and Alolan Raichu and Misty catching a Wimpod? Paul now has Hunter D's Seismitoad who gave the group a lot of trouble Seismitoad will prove to be a very powerful Pokemon on Paul's team growing stronger giving Ash and Pokemon a tough challenge.

Next time the first half of the chapter will mainly focus on Brock entering the breeding competition and the start of the SS. Anne tournament where the gang will reunite with old friends and make new rivals.
