It's time for chapter 4.

Disclaimer:  I'm not doing anymore disclaimers in this fic because the disclaimer in chapter 3 goes for the entire fic.  Basically this part, "any other copyrighted stuff in this fic."

Warning! This chapter mainly tells what happens at the end of the Orange Island season & Ash's league results in the first season. I doubt anyone missed these parts, but if ya don't wanna get spoiled or be bored with old information, just skip this chapter, I'll understand.

The Young Master's Quest Ch. 4: Who's Ash?

"Sean, could I speak with you in my office?"  Prince Israel asked as everyone was leaving. 

"Sure." Replied Sean. When they entered his office, Sean was the first to speak. "Before we begin, I just want to say congratulations on beating that Gary kid. It's too bad he was such a sore loser." 

"Yeah, I know." Israel replied. "You did pretty well yourself. Winning third place isn't easy. Even though it's not the championship, you should still be happy that you made it so far." 

"I am." Sean replied. "So what did ya want to talk about?" 

"Oh right. I want you to tell me everything you can about Ash Ketchum." Israel replied. 

"You're still stuck up on what that guy said? Ok. I'll tell you what I know about him." Sean said. "First of all, he got his first pokémon from Prof. Oak, like you." 

"Which one?" Israel asked. 

"Well, instead of getting a bulbasaur, squirtle, or charmander, he got a pikachu." Sean replied.

"What kind of starter pokémon was that?" Israel chuckled. "I bet he had trouble beating Brock." 

"As a matter of fact, he did." Sean said as he started again. "The first battle was a disaster for Ash. He sent his pikachu to battle against Brock's onix. Of course, Pikachu lost. Ash had to give up the match to save it." 

"So, how did he get the badge?" Israel asked. 

"Brock gave it to him." Sean answered. 

"What!? You mean that Brock felt sorry for Ash & gave him the Boulder Badge!?" Israel asked. Sean nodded.

"Yeah. And he came across a lot of rare pokémon." 

"Like what?" Israel asked, afraid to find out the answer. 

"Well, he saw Lugia, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres before you got them." Sean answered. 

"Whew. Good thing I got them." Israel said, relieved. "Could ya tell me anything major he did?"

"Well, let's see. He was in the top sixteen at the Kanto Pokémon League the same year that you won." Sean replied. 

"Hmmm… Surprising that I don't remember him being in the Indigo Pokémon League." Israel said. 

"He is also champion of the Orange League. Last, but not least, he saved the world a few times." Sean said. Israel couldn't say anything. His mouth was wide open.  Sean sweatdropped.

"Hello! Earth to Prince Israel!" 

"No way! He saved the world!?" Prince Israel said as he was getting out of his trance. 

"Yah." Sean said. 

"Is that it?" Israel asked. 

"Yep." Sean replied. "The only other thing I can tell ya is that he's traveling around Johto, getting the badges to enter the league."

"Ok. Thanks for telling me what you know. Come on. It's getting late. We better get going." Israel said.  He was right. The clock in his office read 8:00PM and it was dark outside. 

"Yeah, let's go." Sean replied. They walked through the gym to the exit, turning off all the lights and turning on the alarm system. 

"Well, I guess I'll see you in a few years." Israel said when they got out of the gym. 

"What do ya mean 'in a few years?'" Sean asked.

"Well tomorrow, I'm going on a journey to defeat every league in the world. But before I leave Johto, I'm gonna beat Ash Ketchum in a battle." Israel replied. 

"Well, good luck." Sean said, extending his hand. 

"Thank you." Said Prince Israel, taking his hand & shaking Sean's. "Do you need a ride home?"

"Sure." Answered Sean as the limo showed up. They got in and the car sped off to Sean's home.

"So, can you me how Ash's Orange League battle went?" Israel asked. 

"Man!  If you care about this guy so much, why don't you marry him?" Sean joked. Israel then shot him a cold glare. "Ok. Ok. Sorry." He defended. "Anyway, he had to face Drake, the leader of the Orange Crew, a group of gym leaders in the islands. The battle was a full six-on-six match. Drake started out by sending his ditto & Ash sent out Pikachu. Pikachu won. Drake then sent out Onix, so Ash called back Pikachu & sent out his squirtle. Naturally, Squirtle won. Next up on Drake's team was Gengar, so Ash called back Squirtle & sent out Tauros. That was a mistake as Gengar used its Confuse Ray on Tauros, so Ash called it back and sent out his lapras. There was a massive explosion as Gengar's Night Shade attack collided with Lapras' Ice Beam. They were both knocked out."

"Man! That had to be your longest paragraph."  Israel pointed out. 

"I still got one more coming. Then you got the rest of the fic to yourself."  Sean said. 

"Righhhhhhhht." Israel did an imitation of Dr. Evil (From the Austin Powers movies).

Sean sweatdropped.

"Moving on. Since half of Drake's pokémon team was knocked out, there was a field change, in which they changed the battlefield. The 1st one was a rocky field with a small pool in the middle. The new one was a desert landscape. Drake resumed the battle by sending out his venusaur. Ash then sent Tauros back out. Tauros won. Next, Drake sent out his electabuzz. Ash called back Tauros & sent out his bulbasaur. Bulbasaur got fried, so Ash sent out his charizard. Ash won that time, so he had to face Drake's final pokémon, which was a dragonite. Ash won by weakening Dragonite with each of his remaining pokémon. Pikachu made the final blow with a Thunder attack."

"Amazing." Israel started. "Not many people can defeat a dragonite. Speaking of which, how did ya get this info?" 

"Internet." Sean replied. 

"Of course. The answer to all of life's questions!" Israel joked. 

"Here we are." The driver called out as they reached Sean home. It was an apartment complex that was five stories high.

"Good bye." Prince Israel said. 

"Come back a winner." Sean said as the two friends shook hands one last time. Then the limo sped off toward the castle.
