I don't own Pokemon or anything to do with it

Johto Champions

Ch2 Settling into the village

Ash had just finished registering for the Johto League when he saw Misty talking to Ritchie. He hurried over to join them

"Hi Ash" Ritchie grinned

"Ritchie" Ash said. He pulled out his master ball." Want to know what is in here?"

Misty groaned, "I think I will go and talk to Brock". She hurried over to him who was flirting with the Nurse Joy

"Ok" said Ritchie

Ash released Lugia and Ritchie gasped

"Where did you get that from, not the Whirl Islands surely"?

"No" Ash pulled Lugia back "I found it in a wood near New Bark Town

"Oh" Ritchie said

"Are you ok with it?" Ash asked him

"Yeah I mean why shouldn't I be, I mean it is your pokemon. I have to go bye" And Ritchie dashed off with Sparky on his shoulder

Ash looked puzzled

Ash, Brock and Misty were just looking round New Bark Town when they heard a familiar voice

"Hey Losers"

Ash growled, it was Gary Oak his rival. He came across smugly with his Umberon with him

"Hey Gary" Ash looked calm but inside he was steaming mad

"Hey loser, got any good pokemon lately, oh yeah I forgot you release them all the time" Gary laughed

Ash laughed "Actually Gary I have" and he released Lugia

Gary started to laugh "Well actually you caught a ditto and transformed it into a Lugia to look like you have some strong pokemon"

"I caught it" Ash was starting to get mad

"Yeah Ash in your dreams. Anyway I have to go Grampa will be wondering where I am" and Gary walked away

Ash looked down and started to walk away

Casey Beta was in the pokemon centre with her Meguami with her. She looked up and saw Ash coming into the pokemon centre

"Ash!" she ran up and hugged him

Ash smiled "Hey Casey. How are you?"

"I'm perfectly fine. I have caught a lot of pokemon and I cant wait to be in the Johto League"

"So am I" Ash grinned

Meanwhile Team Rocket were in the hot air balloon near the pokemon centre

"That little twerp got to the Johto league," said Jessie

"He did," said James dimly

"Yeah" said Jessie hitting him

"And his little Pikachu too" said Meouth

"We will catch it one day" said Jesse

"Yeah" said James

"Wobberfet" said Wobberfet

"Get back in your pokeball said Jessie

Ash, Brock and Misty were told that they had to go to Sliver cave to compete in the Johto championship

"Well I guess we will see you later" Ash said to Casey

"Yeah" said Casey

"Don't want me to go easy on you because we know each other" said Ash

"Of course not" said Casey

Ash, Brock and Misty picked up their backpacks and were on their way to the Johto Championships
