Day One
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Pokemon
At the Pokemon arena, the trainers are already out on the field; Ash looks nervous while Tom, Ritchie, and Gary look fine
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! Today's the day you've all been waiting for; The Johto League!" The announcer said; everyone cheered. "One of these great trainers will be become champion of the Johto League! But, before we can begin, we have a tradition to do first. Every year, before the Johto League starts, there is a legendary Pokemon that comes. It is brought here by its ability to sense the potential in Pokemon Trainers and come to it. It has stayed here as our flame. When it arrives everyone must not disturb it and no one, I mean no one, must take pictures."
"What sort of legendary Pokemon could it be? Moltres?" Misty asked.
"Nah, they had its flame at the Indigo League remembers. It's probably a Johto Legendary Pokemon." Brock mentioned.
"But what?" Oak asked.
Everyone mumbled to this. "Now everyone be quiet." The announcer whispered.
Suddenly there was a flash in the sky and a golden Pokemon flew in. It was "Ho-Oh!" Ash gasped.
Ho-Oh was flying around in circles. Everyone was in awe by its presence. It was about to land when a net shot out at it. Everyone gasped.
There is a familiar laugh from nearby. It's NOT Jessie and James but Butch and Cassidy. Tom and Ash move up in the crowed "What are you two doing?"
"We heard about Ho-Oh coming so we decided to try and capture it. Don't bother trying to burn it little Pokemon it's completely Flame-Resistant." Cassidy laughed.
Ash and Tom looked helpless. Ash tried to think hard about what to do. "I've got it." Ash said out loud. "HO-OH! MAXIMUM HEAT!" He yelled. Ho- Oh wouldn't listen. "That's right, it's not my Pokemon." Ash mumbled.
"Trying something eh? Here try this!" Butch said as he pulled out a Bazooka and fired. Ash, Tom, and the other trainer ran.
Ash and Tom ran by Ho-Oh to try and help it. Butch fired again, this time it scared Ho-OH causing it to turn its heat to the max; burning up the ropes.
"WHAT!" Cassidy Gasped.
"Its very simple Ho-Oh's body can produce heat equal to the sun. Nothing, not even flame resistant rope, can stop it." Tom chuckled.
Suddenly a bunch of Officer Jennies comes up to Butch and Cassidy. "You two are under arrest for disturbing a public event and for Pokemon pouching." One of them said.
"Great, arrested again." Butch groaned.
"You know, this seems to be one thing those two idiots Jessie and James seem to do better than us at; avoiding the authorities." Cassidy moaned.
Ash and Tom high five-ed each other and smiled until, suddenly, something caught their eye. Ho-Oh started to fly away.
"Ho-Oh WAIT!" Ash chased after it.
"Ash wait try this." Tom said; he tossed a pokeball. "Use the Pokemon in it."
"Uh Okay?" Ash tossed the pokeball into the air. Out came "ANOTHER HO- OH!" He gasped. Yes out came another Ho-Oh, but this was one different. It was the Rainbow Ho-Oh! "Tom how did you.I mean." Ash was too shock to speak straight, as was everyone else there.
"Well, it was actually an accident." Tom started. As he did, his Ho-Oh flew up to the other Ho-Oh and they "talked" to each other. "Not long after I left you guys Duplica and I found, at different day I might add, three pups of the legendary dogs Entei, Raioku, and Suicune and all three of them seemed abandoned since they all had bruises on them." Again, as he spoke the Ho-Oh's seemed to communicate; that is until the golden on flew off. Everyone started to panic; however Tom continued. "I went back the Eurtack City and let the pups out for some fresh air. Suddenly they ran to the burned down tower. They started to bark in chorus until that Pokemon appeared." Tom pointed to Ho-Oh. Ash looked in awe. "However Team Rocket seemed to follow me so they could capture any of my Rare Pokemon. I tried to stop them but, in their efforts to weaken the old Ho-Oh for capture, ended up.Killing it." Tom started to feel bad.
"But if they killed it? What is that?" Ash asked desperately needing to know.
"Well, after Team Rocket left, Ho-Oh turned into Ashes and fell to the ground. I didn't know it at the time but Ho-Oh is a Pokemon Phoenix in that, when it dies, it can return from the ashes again. Another, unfortunate, thing is that, when it is a baby, it has a photographic memory.
"Photographic?" Ash was confused.
"Like Togepi and Misty. When it crawled out of the ashes; it saw me as its mother. I had no choice but to take it with me. And boy did it grow fast." Tom chuckled. Ash was just jaw dropped.
As Tom was finishing, his Ho-Oh entered the flame area and lit the Tournament Flame.
"WELL Uh? Ladies and Gentlemen! Even though that was not the performance we intended, LET THE JOHTO LEAGUE BEGIN!" The announcer called, everyone cheered.
Later that day
Ritchie ran down the hall of the Pokemon Center to see Ash. "HEY ASH!"
"Hey Ritchie!" Ash called back.
"Did you hear what your first opponent's Pokemon are?" He asked.
Tom walked up with Brock, Misty, and Duplica. "Yeah he's heard. It's a fighting Pokemon trainer." He smiled.
"I hope your ready Ash!" Ritchie said calmly.
"Don't worry. I wasn't sure before last night but I am now." Ash smirked.
Ritchie was a little confused but nodded in agreement.
Just then a guy came up to Ash, he looked like a fighter. "So you're Ash Ketchum huh? My Pokemon will break yours in two."
"You must be Ralph. You talk big don't you?" Brock said.
"Yeah I talk big, because I AM big. My Pokemon are big too." Ralph laughed.
"Yeah, but do your pokemon share your feelings." Ash said toughly.
"Why would they need to share my feelings?" Ralph asked disgusted. "They're big, they're strong! That's all that matters."
"That's what you think. Just wait until I beat you." Ash said chokingly.
"We'll see who'll beat who." Ralph mocked, and then he left.
Time for Ash's first Match
"Ladies and Gentlemen! This match puts Pokemon trainer Ash Ketchum against Ralph Dominick a champion fighting Pokemon trainer. Let the match begin!" The announcer said.
"Machamp! I choose you!" Ralph called.
"WOW! Ralph has sent out one big looking Machamp!" The Announcer said in the mike.
"Go Pokeball!" Ash yelled; out from the Pokeball came Primeape.
"He's using Primeape?" Brock asked.
"Yeah I know that seems strange. I sure hope Primeape remembers when Ash save him long ago otherwise he's in trouble." Misty sighed as a scene flashback to Primeape beating up Ash.
"Primeape you ready!" Ash asked happily. Primeape closed his eyes and smiled. "Alright! Go!"
Primeape charged at Machamp. Machamp, however, punched him out of the way.
"YEAH! Show that wimp what real power is!" Ralph yelled.
"Primeape! Come on and fight right!" Ash called out.
Primeape flipped up quickly and flexed its arms. "Now fury swipe!" He called.
"PRIMEAPE!" Primeape said. It dashed at slashed like crazy; Machamp was backing down in pain.
"Now Seismic Toss!" Ash yelled.
"PRIMEAPE!" Primeape said. It grabbed Machamp and threw it into the air and it crashed into the ground. Machamp eyes showed it was dizzy.
"Machamp is unable to battle. Primeape is the winner." The ref. called.
"AMAZING! PRIMEAPE WON IN A KNOCKOUT!" The announcer called. "What Pokemon will Ralph choose next?"
"Go Hitmonchan!" Ralph called.
"Ah a Hitmonchan!" Ash said. "Primeape, use the low kick."
"Primeape." Primeape said. He kicked Hitmonchan in the side and sent it flying. It was already dizzy.
"Primeape is the winner!" The ref called.
"MAN! TALK ABOUT A ONE HIT K.O.!" The Announcer called.
"Man, Primeape sure has improved huh Brock." Misty said surprised.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. It's following Ash's command but in its own matter." Brock noticed.
"What do you mean by that?" Delia asked.
"It's simple. Most Primeapes, when told to low kick, would have targeted the middle chest of the Pokemon. However, since he's been trained by a pro fighter, Ash's Primeape targeted Hitmonchan's weak spot; its side." Oak described.
"Oh." Delia was surprised.
"I'll have to use my best Pokemon. GO TYROUGE!" Ralph yelled.
"A Tyrouge?" Ash pulls out Dexter.
"Tyrouge: The Pre-Evolution Fighting Pokemon. It can evolve into Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, or Hitmontop. Its special attacks vary on the trainer." Dexter said.
"Varies on the trainer? Well then Tackle it now Primeape!" Ash called.
"Primeape!" Primeape yelled as it ran towards Tyrouge.
"Tyrouge, Maneuver 25." Ralph yelled.
"Tyrouge!" Tyrouge yelled. It grabbed Primeape and flipped it behind him and rammed its head to the ground.
"What was that?" Ash wondered.
"Heh, I taught it that myself." Ralph laughed. "Now use Maneuver 101!" Ralph yelled.
Tyrouge grabbed Primeape, turned it upside down, and rammed its head into the ground, and then it through it into a rock.
"Primeape no!" Ash gasped.
"Amazing, after two loses Ralph is now starting to win." The announcer said.
"Primeape, get up." Ash called.
"Prime. Ape." Primeape moaned.
"Nothing should survive that!" Ralph gasped. "Tyrouge, Maneuver 1!"
Tyrouge grabbed Primeape in a headlock. "Okay Primeape, Counter then use seismic toss!" Ash called.
"Primeape!" Primeape called. It got out of the headlock and grabbed Tyrouge by the legs. It spun it round and round. Then it let go and sent it flying into the walls. Tyrouge was out.
"Tyrouge is unable to battle. The winner is Primeape and Ash Ketchum!" The ref called.
"AMAZING! A complete win without even changing pokemon! It's my opinion but Ketchum may have a great chance at the championship!" The announcer called.
"Alright Ash!" Misty called.
"Go Ash!" Brock yelled.
"That's my boy!" Flare called.
"That's my Ashy boy!" Delia called.
"Such a great lad he is." Oak sighed.
"Alright!" Ash yelled.
Later
"Our next match puts Veteran Pokemon Trainer and Indigo League champion Tom Wall against Rookie Jean Will." The announcer called.
"Let the match begin." The ref called.
"Go Meganium!" Jean called.
"Go Sceptile!" Tom called.
"Sceptile!" Sceptile called.
"What is that?" Ash asked as he pulled out Dexter.
"Sceptile, the grass chameleon pokemon. No Further data." Dexter read.
"No data?" Ash wondered.
"I don't care what Pokemon you use, Go Mega! Vine Whip." Jean called.
"Mega." Meganium called. It used its vines to grab Sceptile, who seemed unphased.
"Sceptile, pull it in and use head butt." Tom called.
"Sceptile!" Sceptile called. It grabbed the vines and pulled Meganium towards it, and then it rammed it with its head and sent it hard on the ground.
"Mega! Use Solar Beam!" Jean called a little panicking.
"Absorb and Leaf Blade!" Tom called.
Mega fired its Solar Beam and rammed into Sceptile who seemed to be holding it. Then it glowed and the beam disappeared. Still glowing, it used a bunch of leaf strings to cut at Mega, causing it to fall."
"Mega." Meganium cried. It was too weak to fight.
"Meganium is unable to battle; the winner is Sceptile." The ref called.
"WOW! Never before have I seen two grass types fight it so well!" The announcer called.
Both trainers called back their pokemon. "I see I'll have to make things a little hot around here. Go Typhlosion!"
"Go Blaziken!" Tom called.
"BLAZE!" Blaziken called.
"Blaziken? Where did Tom get these pokemon Duplica?" Ash asked.
"That's our little secret." She smiled, Ash looked confused.
"Ty! Use Quick Attack!" Jean called.
"Blaziken, use Quick Attack too." Tom ordered. The two Pokemon dashed and kept on ramming each other. They seemed unable to stop the other.
"Alright, Flamethrower!" Jean called. Ty jumped back and shot out a huge blast of flames at Blaziken enveloping it.
"Blaziken!" Tom called. Through the flames it seemed nothing could stop it, but, sure enough, Blaziken jumped out surprising everyone, even Tom. "Great, now Double kick!"
"What!" Jean was panicking even more. "I can't lose, Flamethrower again."
"Typhlosion!" Ty called, before it could attack Blaziken kicking it in the back, then into the air.
"Now Blaze Kick!" Tom called, enjoying himself.
"Blaze!" Blaziken kicked Ty, still in the air, in the chest and sent it reeling towards the end of the field. Typhlosion was out.
"NO!" Jean cried.
"Typhlosion is unable to battle, the winner is Blaziken." The ref called.
"And that makes two for Walled. It'll be a miracle for Jean to win now." The announcer said.
"My last one, Go Feraligatr!" Jean cried.
"Go!" Tom called, sending out a new pokemon. Out came . . .Charizard?
"What? Charizard?" Ash was shocked.
"A fire against water, what is Tom thinking?" Misty called.
"Heh, you know Ash, he's a bigger loser than you are." Gary laughed.
"Quiet, Tom know what he's doing." Duplica reassured them. 'I hope.'
"Charizard, Flamethrower into the air." Tom ordered.
"CHAR!" Charizard roared. It fired a bunch of flames into the air and created a ton of smoke.
"I don't know what he's planning but Hydro Pump!" Jean called.
"Fera!" Feraligatr roared and fired water from its mouth.
"Charizard, that's enough, take to the air!" Tom quickly called.
Charizard took to the air and flew high above. "Get under it and fire from there." Jean called.
'I knew it.' Tom thought. Soon Feraligatr was under the cloud and shooting Hydro Pump. "Now! Ram the cloud with Tail Whip!"
Charizard flew towards the cloud, dodging the blast, and started hitting the cloud. There were sparks of electricity building. Soon a giant lightning bolt fired right at Feraligatr, frying it.
"Feraligatr is unable to battle, the winner is Charizard!" The ref called. The screen showed Tom won, but no one said anything. Everyone was shocked and confused at what just happened, except Oak and Flare.
"Brilliant, just brilliant." Oak smiled.
"Wha . . . what just happened?" Ash asked.
"You see son, Charizards flamethrower is as hot as a volcano." Flare started.
"Oh I know that." Ash shuttered at remembering being toast by his Charizard before.
"Anyway Ash, Tom fired the Flamethrower into the air, creating a synthetic Volcanic Ash Cloud, which is known for creating small electrical discharges." Oak continued.
"I get it, so Tom then ordered Charizard to tail whip the cloud so it could build up a bigger charge and be able to harm Feraligatr." Brock finished.
"Right, you know you should learn from Tom Ash. He is an amazing Trainer." Oak smiled with his eyes closed.
"Oh yeah. I'll beat him soon enough!" Ash said determined.
"Not if I beat you first." Gary laughed. Ash jerked anime style.
Later
"No! NO!" Tom called on the phone and slammed it down.
"What is it Tom?" Duplica asked. Everyone was with here.
"Yeah Tom, what's up?" Ash asked.
"It's my old band. We were supposed to get together for a concert here tomorrow." Tom frowned.
"THAT'S GREAT! Why are you so down though?" Brock asked.
"Well, the musicans are on their way, but the other singers are stuck in a mountain town with only one way out. And that way out is blocked by a full Snorlax." Tom said gloomly.
"Ah man, that bites." Ash sighed.
"Yeah. . .Hey! I've got an idea! Why don't you four replace my singers?" Tom said with his hand on his chin thinking up things.
"WHAT!" Everyone gasped.
"No way!" Ash yelled.
"Nuh uh!" Misty called.
"Nope." Duplica said.
"Okay!" Brock said.
"BROCK!" Ash, Misty, and Duplica yelled.
"What? I've got to see the girls!" Brock said all dreamy eyes.
The three sighed. "Well, if Brocks doing it, count me in." Ash sighed.
"Same here." Misty and Duplica sighed.
"Great." Tom clapped his hands. "Now I'll work all day with you tomorrow, round two doesn't start for two days. Oh, Ash come here." Tom grabbed Ashs hand and pulled him into a room.
"What was THAT about?" Misty asked.
"Don't ask me." Duplica sighed.
"Girls GIRLS!" Brock yammered
WHAM! Duplica and Misty hammered Brock out cold.
Tom worked with Ash on who knows what all night.
Well, how will the concert go? Just read the next chapter to find out. Please R&R!

At the Pokemon arena, the trainers are already out on the field; Ash looks nervous while Tom, Ritchie, and Gary look fine

Ho-Oh was flying around in circles. Everyone was in awe by its presence. It was about to land when a net shot out at it. Everyone gasped.
There is a familiar laugh from nearby. It's NOT Jessie and James but Butch and Cassidy. Tom and Ash move up in the crowed "What are you two doing?"
"We heard about Ho-Oh coming so we decided to try and capture it. Don't bother trying to burn it little Pokemon it's completely Flame-Resistant." Cassidy laughed.
Ash and Tom looked helpless. Ash tried to think hard about what to do. "I've got it." Ash said out loud. "HO-OH! MAXIMUM HEAT!" He yelled. Ho- Oh wouldn't listen. "That's right, it's not my Pokemon." Ash mumbled.
"Trying something eh? Here try this!" Butch said as he pulled out a Bazooka and fired. Ash, Tom, and the other trainer ran.
Ash and Tom ran by Ho-Oh to try and help it. Butch fired again, this time it scared Ho-OH causing it to turn its heat to the max; burning up the ropes.
"WHAT!" Cassidy Gasped.
"Its very simple Ho-Oh's body can produce heat equal to the sun. Nothing, not even flame resistant rope, can stop it." Tom chuckled.
Suddenly a bunch of Officer Jennies comes up to Butch and Cassidy. "You two are under arrest for disturbing a public event and for Pokemon pouching." One of them said.
"Great, arrested again." Butch groaned.
"You know, this seems to be one thing those two idiots Jessie and James seem to do better than us at; avoiding the authorities." Cassidy moaned.
Ash and Tom high five-ed each other and smiled until, suddenly, something caught their eye. Ho-Oh started to fly away.
"Ho-Oh WAIT!" Ash chased after it.
"Ash wait try this." Tom said; he tossed a pokeball. "Use the Pokemon in it."
"Uh Okay?" Ash tossed the pokeball into the air. Out came "ANOTHER HO- OH!" He gasped. Yes out came another Ho-Oh, but this was one different. It was the Rainbow Ho-Oh! "Tom how did you.I mean." Ash was too shock to speak straight, as was everyone else there.
"Well, it was actually an accident." Tom started. As he did, his Ho-Oh flew up to the other Ho-Oh and they "talked" to each other. "Not long after I left you guys Duplica and I found, at different day I might add, three pups of the legendary dogs Entei, Raioku, and Suicune and all three of them seemed abandoned since they all had bruises on them." Again, as he spoke the Ho-Oh's seemed to communicate; that is until the golden on flew off. Everyone started to panic; however Tom continued. "I went back the Eurtack City and let the pups out for some fresh air. Suddenly they ran to the burned down tower. They started to bark in chorus until that Pokemon appeared." Tom pointed to Ho-Oh. Ash looked in awe. "However Team Rocket seemed to follow me so they could capture any of my Rare Pokemon. I tried to stop them but, in their efforts to weaken the old Ho-Oh for capture, ended up.Killing it." Tom started to feel bad.
"But if they killed it? What is that?" Ash asked desperately needing to know.
"Well, after Team Rocket left, Ho-Oh turned into Ashes and fell to the ground. I didn't know it at the time but Ho-Oh is a Pokemon Phoenix in that, when it dies, it can return from the ashes again. Another, unfortunate, thing is that, when it is a baby, it has a photographic memory.
"Photographic?" Ash was confused.
"Like Togepi and Misty. When it crawled out of the ashes; it saw me as its mother. I had no choice but to take it with me. And boy did it grow fast." Tom chuckled. Ash was just jaw dropped.
As Tom was finishing, his Ho-Oh entered the flame area and lit the Tournament Flame.
"WELL Uh? Ladies and Gentlemen! Even though that was not the performance we intended, LET THE JOHTO LEAGUE BEGIN!" The announcer called, everyone cheered.

"Oh I know that." Ash shuttered at remembering being toast by his Charizard before.
"Anyway Ash, Tom fired the Flamethrower into the air, creating a synthetic Volcanic Ash Cloud, which is known for creating small electrical discharges." Oak continued.
"I get it, so Tom then ordered Charizard to tail whip the cloud so it could build up a bigger charge and be able to harm Feraligatr." Brock finished.
"Right, you know you should learn from Tom Ash. He is an amazing Trainer." Oak smiled with his eyes closed.
"Oh yeah. I'll beat him soon enough!" Ash said determined.
"Not if I beat you first." Gary laughed. Ash jerked anime style.
Later
"No! NO!" Tom called on the phone and slammed it down.
"What is it Tom?" Duplica asked. Everyone was with here.
"Yeah Tom, what's up?" Ash asked.
"It's my old band. We were supposed to get together for a concert here tomorrow." Tom frowned.
"THAT'S GREAT! Why are you so down though?" Brock asked.
"Well, the musicans are on their way, but the other singers are stuck in a mountain town with only one way out. And that way out is blocked by a full Snorlax." Tom said gloomly.
"Ah man, that bites." Ash sighed.
"Yeah. . .Hey! I've got an idea! Why don't you four replace my singers?" Tom said with his hand on his chin thinking up things.
"WHAT!" Everyone gasped.
"No way!" Ash yelled.
"Nuh uh!" Misty called.
"Nope." Duplica said.
"Okay!" Brock said.
"BROCK!" Ash, Misty, and Duplica yelled.
"What? I've got to see the girls!" Brock said all dreamy eyes.
The three sighed. "Well, if Brocks doing it, count me in." Ash sighed.
"Same here." Misty and Duplica sighed.
"Great." Tom clapped his hands. "Now I'll work all day with you tomorrow, round two doesn't start for two days. Oh, Ash come here." Tom grabbed Ashs hand and pulled him into a room.
"What was THAT about?" Misty asked.
"Don't ask me." Duplica sighed.
"Girls GIRLS!" Brock yammered
WHAM! Duplica and Misty hammered Brock out cold.
Tom worked with Ash on who knows what all night.
Well, how will the concert go? Just read the next chapter to find out. Please R&R!
