It's About Time

After Banished's trail the gang had decided to finally get started on this journey. However Ash was still at ends with the fact that Banished is the clone of his father.

"Hey Ash is something wrong?" asked Brock

"Nothing." said Ash

"Come on Ash we've been together for six years now and I know when something's bothering you." said Brock

"Well it's just that he is my father yet he isn't." said Ash

"Don't worry about it if you want to think of him as your dad then go right ahead." said Brock

"Ok." said Ash

"Hey come on guys we have to get going." said Misty

"Alright." said Ash and Brock

"So were do have to go from here?" asked Ash

"Well I suggest a level 1 gym to get you started." said Banished

"How many levels are there?" asked Misty

"There are 4 levels and you have to have one of each." said Banished

"Ok then lets start with a level 4." said Ash

"Pika." said Pikachu while doing a peace sign

"A level 4 gym is too hard for you." said Banished

"And how would you know that?" asked Brock

"Simple I already faced him and I compared him to out level a fighting. His pokemon are slightly above a level 1 gym, and besides it's a good place to start." said Banished

"Oh huh, guess you're the expert." said Ash

"What a minute that actually sounded mature did you actually grow up Ash." commented Misty

"Well it had to happen sometime." said Ash while putting his hand behind his head.

*Bam* anime stupidity drop

"To protect the world from devastation." said Jessie

Well that's chapter 9 and I hope you enjoy it. Well the only reason why I managed to get this chapter out today is because I'm at home sick with nothing to do. If your going to think I should start worrying about my health don't I know what I can and can't do and besides like I said I'm bored out of my mind. Oh and I suppose you were all wondering when I was going to bring in Team Rocket, well here they are and my plan for them is going to be interesting.
