Chapter 6
Viridian City and Re-encounter with Misty
Ash and his Pokémon had finally arrived in Viridian City, a few hours before nightfall. A lot of trainers accumulated in the city to sign up for the Indigo League. There were many previous league participants signing up who were either from Kanto or a nearby Region. It was almost overwhelming for Ash and his Pokémon, but the group made their way to the Pokémon Center with relative ease.
As Ash entered the Pokémon Center he saw a familiar face. It was Misty, the same girl he saw and saved at the stream. And Pikachu, who was observing the many trainers in the Poké Center had finally laid eyes on the girl Ash was staring at, and he too went wide eyed. She matched Ash's description perfectly and so the two were just staring at Misty for an uncomfortable amount of time.
Misty was just about to go back to her room, as her Pokémon were done with their checkups. That's when she noticed a trainer with a Pikachu sitting on his shoulder, both of which were looking at her like they couldn't believe what they saw. And the two just kept staring at her, so she did what any person would do and left the two alone.
Ash had finally broke out of his stupor to find that Misty had already left. He decided to drop it and just register for the League and get a room to stay in, as he wanted a nice comfy bed to sleep in before setting off to Viridian Forest.
"Hello welcome to the Pokémon Center. What can I do for you?" Asked the Nurse Joy behind the counter.
"I need to register for the League and can you take a look at my Pokémon?" Ash answered, taking out his Poké Balls from his belt and giving them to Nurse Joy.
Pikachu climbed down Ash's arm and onto the counter. Nurse Joy asked why Pikachu wasn't in it's Poké Ball, to where Ash answered that Pikachu doesn't really like to stay inside his Poké Ball and that he'd rather be outside with him. At this Nurse Joy nodded in understanding, she liked the bond the two seemed to share. So she asked the Blissey that was next to her to take the Poké Balls and Pikachu to the back to be checked. Blissey nodded saying "right away nurse joy." And left with the Poké Balls in a tray and Pikachu on her head.
"Right, let's get you registered for the league. I just need your Pokédex." Nurse Joy said, putting out her hand out towards Ash, who in turn gave the Pokédex to the Nurse and after a few keyboard clicks and a surprised expression on the Nurse's face Ash was registered for the league.
"You know I wasn't expecting my cousin to be right." Nurse Joy whispered to Ash.
"What was your cousin right about?" Ash asked curious as to what the nurse meant.
"she overheard Lance saying that a trainer by the name Ash Ketchum was a Pokémon himself." Nurse Joy replied, making Ash's eyes widen. He knew that the Professor told the Gym Leaders and League organizers about his 'special case trainer' that was joining the league.
"Can you please not tell anyone else about it." Ash asked the Nurse, not wanting his secret revealed this early into his journey. Nurse Joy chucked, saying that she won't and that she was just teasing Ash.
The boy sighed in relief before asking for a room to stay in. Nurse Joy nodded, checking her computer for any spare rooms. She eventually found one, after scrolling through the list of rooms for a few seconds. And handed the room key to Ash, who thanked the Nurse and went to go find his room.
Ash plopped down his bag on the bed of his room, skimming through his Pokédex for any info on what Pokémon the Gym uses and what Pokémon he can find in Viridian Forest, when he eventually has to travel through it to get to Pewter City.
Ash then suddenly remembered that he had to call his mom and the Professor, so in a panic he rushed out of his room and going to the video phones in the lobby of the Pokémon Center. Ash then dialed his moms number.
After a few seconds of beeping the image of Ash's home came into view, Delia's face coming into view shortly after.
"Ash, I see you've made it to Viridian City. Did anything exciting happen in Route 1?" Delia greeted her son before asking.
"I caught three new Pokémon. A Female Pidgey, a Male Spearow, and a Male Charmander." Ash informed his mom of the 3 new captures, to which Delia was surprised. Her son already catching 3 Pokémon within the span of a day, but she was proud that Ash was doing well, so she congratulated him.
"Alright bye mom I still need to call the Professor. He needs to know something." Ash said his goodbyes and Delia nodded and said her goodbyes as well, and with that the two ended the call.
Ash then dialed the Professor's Number. "Ah Ash, I see you've made it to Viridian." The Professor said, nodding Ash then said that he needed to tell the Professor something.
"I got this from Ho-Oh, Professor." Ash said holding up the Poké Ball and Rainbow up to the camera. The Professor's eyes widened, he's never seen a Rainbow Wing before, but has heard from legends that the feather comes from the Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh. The Professor then asked how Ash managed to get one, to which Ash replied with how Ho-Oh thought he was interesting and informed Mew to tell me about her decision to crown Ash the Rainbow Hero. And again the Professor was shocked, Ash never mentioned that he actually met Mew, the actual Mew, so when Ash told him that they met a couple of times the Professor just sat in his chair motionless. Until he was snapped out of it by Ash, he then went back to other the subject at hand the Poké Ball. He didn't know what was in it and how a Legendary Pokémon would have it, he didn't question it though, instead asking what Ash wanted to do with it.
"I need you to register it to my Trainer ID. And I might have an idea who's in it." Ash replied, confusing the Professor, but he obliged and asked Ash to put the Poké Ball in the ball shaped hole on the Video Phone and plug in his Pokédex into the Video Phone. Ash did just that and the Professor typed some stuff on the Keyboard on the opposite side of his camera and with a ding the Poké Ball was registered to Ash's Trainer ID. Ash thanked the Professor and said his goodbyes before hanging up.
With that over Ash heard a chime and looked over to the source of the chime. He saw Nurse Joy's Blissey back outside with his Poké Balls and Pikachu on a trolley. Ash walked over to the them and got his Poké Balls back. Pikachu repositioning himself on Ash's shoulder.
After a quick dinner Ash started walking back to his room, but then suddenly the lobby was filled with smoke. Ash also heard an explosion, with the sound of shattered glass hitting the floor coming shortly after. Ash then heard footsteps inching closer to him, so he brings out Pidgey and asks her to use gust.
Pidgey complied and blew away the smoke, revealing two humans, one boy, one girl and a Meowth standing between them. Both the boy and the girl sported a Team Rocket uniform, this time instead of black it was white with the ever so familiar big red 'R', which made Ash glare at the two humans.
The two ignored the death glare instead doing a motto, which definitely wasn't done by the Rocket Admin that kidnapped Ash.
"Prepare for trouble!" The female said.
"And make it double!" The male continued.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!" The now revealed Jessie said.
"James!" The now revealed Jessie said.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!" The Meowth said, surprising everyone in the Poké Center, as this was the first time they encountered a Pokémon that could speak human, for Ash he was just shocked that a Meowth was able to speak human.
"Now hand over all the Pokémon." Jessie demanded all the people present, and Ash was having none of it.
"All these Pokémon are injured, I'm not letting you take any of them." Ash said, once again glaring at Jessie and James.
Both Team Rocket grunts laughed. What was a kid, who looked like he just started, going to do.
"Pikachu, Elaine I choose you." Ash said, throwing Elaine's Poké Ball into the air. Pikachu climbed down Ash's arm and joined Elaine. Both ready to fight for their trainer and for the Pokémon of the Poké Center.
"Koffing let's go." James said, throwing Koffing's Poké Ball into the air.
"Ekans take out the twerps Pokémon" Jessie said, also throwing Ekans's Poké Ball into the air.
And now the 2v2 begins.
Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and Elaine to use Swift. Both used their respective moves. Pikachu generated a massive Thunderbolt that blasted the Poké Center's wide open. And Elaine made stars appear out of nowhere and shot them like heat seeking missiles at the two poison types. Once the attacks were over Jessie, James, Meowth and their Pokémon were gone, but Ash did hear a faint "Team Rocket's Blasting off." before an audible ding was heard shortly after.
Officer Jenny then came in to assess the damage and do some questioning with the eyewitnesses. It included Ash, Nurse Joy, A trainer named Jason, and A trainer named Marnie.
After all the questions were over Machamp and Machoke appeared and started to repair the Poké Center. And Nurse Joy went into the back and did an inventory count, just in case.
Ash and Pikachu, after returning Elaine into her Poké Ball. Went back to his room and laid in the comfy mattress, drifting off to sleep almost instantly.
{Inside of Ash's Dream}
Ash was once again talking with Mew, he explained the encounter with Ho-Oh and about the Poké Ball she gave to Ash.
Mew explained it was indeed Mewtwo's and that he should only train him for now no trainer battles or gyms, as Mewtwo is still technically a day or two old. Ash agreed and asked Mew if there were any other Legendary Pokémon that took 'interest' in him.
Mew said that quite a few have been interested in Ash, it mainly Lugia, The Legendary Bird Trio, The Legendary Beasts, Victini, and Celebi.
Ash was surprised at the number of Legendary Pokémon that have taken interest in him. But he bounced back excited by the fact that he could potentially meet all these Pokémon.
Mew giggled at Ash, he was a very boy. Multiple Legendary Pokémon have taken interest in him and he is more excited than scared at the prospect of meeting these very powerful Pokémon.
Only you Ash, only you.
