*Beginning Note: I have noticed some slight errors in the previous
chapters. 1) Brock now has a Crobat. 2) I am setting this in the Pokémon
Advanced version (meaning Hoenn) and I know Misty and Brock are not
present, but they are anyway so there. =P Some Pokémon may appear in
places where they aren't supposed to! (Like the pikachu appearing in some
random woods. He is not in the safari zone!) Okay, there. Forgive me*
"What is that? It's a giant bat! What the..."
"Yami, these things are called Pokémon. There are over 386 different specie of Pokémon, this particular one is called a Crobat. Each Pokémon knows specific moves that it learns as it levels up, and when it levels up, it evolves," Brock explained.
Ash, now coming out from the tree he was hiding behind, explained further, "But they don't have to evolve them, especially if you don't want them to or they don't want to themselves. Some only evolve under specific conditions, like if you give this thunderstone to a pikachu it will evolve into a raichu. Raichu don't learn any moves, however, and you may want to evolve it when your pikachu has learned all of its own moves! My pikachu does not want to evolve, and that is why it is still a pikachu!"
Misty added more onto the Pokémon lecture, "You must capture the Pokémon first, or else they may not listen to you though! Here, take one of my Pokeballs to capture your wild pikachu!" Misty tossed the pokeball to Yami.
"Intriguing. It is like a real live version of Duel Monsters back home! But how do I capture it?"
"Pika pika!" Ash's pikachu was talking to Yami's wild one.
"Chu!" Yami's pikachu replied.
"Pikaaaachu! Chu, pika pika!" Pikachu told Ash that Yami's pikachu agreed to being captured without a battle.
"Okay then, Yami! Just throw the pokeball at Pikachu and then it will go inside the pokeball, shake three times, and if it doesn't escape before the third shake, it is yours to keep!"
"Here goes!" Yami threw the pokeball at the wild pikachu and it shook three times, no struggle at all. "Yes! I got a ...er... yellow lion mouse! Can I give it a nick name?"
"You can, but what will you name it?" Misty asked.
"I am going to call it Pharaoh!"
"Pharaoh? What is with all these things I don't know about?" Ash asked himself.
"Now, some people prefer to battle with their Pokémon, others like to keep them as pets," Brock explained to Yami. "We are going to teach you how to battle. Release Pharaoh from its pokeball. Just throw it on the ground and say the name of the Pokémon you are choosing."
"'Kay. I play Pharaoh, my...er...Yellow Lion Mouse in Attack Mode!"
"No no no no no! There are no "attack modes" in Pokémon Battles! They all attack, and all defend! Guessing that there is most probably a defense mode too, of course. And the lion mouse is called a Pikachu. P-I- K-A-C-H-U. Remember that, and you only have to say "I choose Pharaoh!" or "Pharaoh, I choose you!" Something on that note, okay?" Ash said, annoyed.
Pharaoh shook its head and sighed. "Again with the Lion Mouse thing," he thought.
"One person attacks first, and I'll let you go. Pikachu attacks include Thunderbolt, thundershock, agility, quick attack, thunder, tackle, and swift. Choose one, though Pharaoh may not know the attack you choose."
"Pharaoh, use a quick attack!" Pharaoh obeyed happily, and charged at Crobat with all its tiny might. Pharaoh was strong, but not as strong as Ash's pikachu.
"Crobat! Supersonic now!"
"Pharaoh! NO! What did you do to him?"
"It is only temporary confusion. Be careful, when a Pokémon is confused it may attack itself on accident!"
"Pharaoh! Use a swift attack! Try not to hurt yourself!" Pharaoh was able to perform a swift attack without damaging its own self. Brock winked at Crobat and he pretended to faint from the attack. Pharaoh took this as a real win and grew a few levels (about 7 in total. =]). "Yeah Pharaoh! You won! I can even feel you get stronger!" Yami was so happy to "win" his first Pokémon battle, even though he knew he didn't actually win.
"Don't worry, Yami. As you go farther, you'll capture more Pokémon and train them to be stronger. We have been together since we were in Kanto, don't worry. You'll catch up to us soon enough."
"You are right, Brock. I will grow stronger, and one day, find a way back to my world."
"I still think that IS a hat..." Ash was uselessly mumbling to himself.
"I wish I could get out of this puzzle, Yami! I want to help with the Pokémon too! They are so cute!"
"I wish I could go back into the puzzle, Yugi. I miss its hallways and corridors. Return, Pharaoh!"
"Now you are getting it, Yami! Come on, let's go to the Pokémon Center. I'll show you to Professor Oak. Are you sure that isn't a hat?"
"Yes, I am VERY sure this is not a hat. (¬.¬) THIS IS MY HAIR ASH! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HAIR!"
"There isn't anything wrong with it... it's just that it is a hat. Don't deny it, Yami!"
Pikachu, growing tired of Ash and his hat conviction, delivered to him a thunder of tremendous size. It was a good thing they were headed to a Pokémon center, Ash would need to be treated a great deal.
