Sethelephant: Glad you're enjoying the story. I'm curious how come your fine Bulbasaur and Squirtle but now Pikachu. I just curious cause whenever I hear people talk about Ash's they would like to see evolve Bulbasaur and Squirtle are usually on the list, but Pikachu is not. So I'm always interested in their reasoning. Btw I read some of your stories and I can't wait for your next update.
SidRyuu14: Hey you're right, for letting me know Pikachu can learn fairy type moves. As for Pikachu evolving into an Alolan Raichu, maybe, generally I prefer Raichu normal variant but I'll think about it. As for Scyther evolving, I stated in the last chapter I will evolve into Scizor. Typing wise, Kleavor is only better typing in terms of attack. Scizor out shines Kleavor in defense with 8 resistances compare to Kleavor 2. Thought I do agree with shiny Kleavor is a great shiny. I approve of Cinderace because Scorbunny line was my favorite starter in Sword and Shield. For Ursaluna I wish it was a pure ground type, it's not one of my favorite new Pokémon but I don't think it's bad. In fact, I think Ursaluna is starting to grow on me. So I in the middle about this one, but I do appreciate your suggestions.
Irbrenneke: Hmmm, I was planning something for the story, but didn't know when to insert it. Now you given me a timeframe to put it in, so thank you.
Poke-ranger21: True, but I hated its treatment in Johto, serious other that one battle with Misty for Totodile, and the Grass Festival I don't remember it doing anything in Johto till it left, and its great performance against Jackson. Seriously Chikorita took its place, couldn't they have Bulbasaur training Chikorita or maybe keep the other Pokémon in line. Yes, other Pokémon like Noctowl and Heracross were treated poorly as well. But still I want Bulbasaur to evolve alongside his friends.
Reader: Well I hope you enjoyed the picks at the end of the next chapter. As for Pikachu not evolving I'm deciding to evolve Pikachu but like I said not for a long time.
TheOneNejl: I was planning for Misty and Brock to get their own develop, whenever I read fictions where Ash becomes more seriously, most of the time they get left behind, but I don't want that. While Misty can be annoying at time, they could of have done her character by having her train her water Pokémon earlier. As a breeder Brock should have caught more Pokémon and been seen working on their stats. I do like your suggestion of Brock's Pokémon evolving earlier, I could also add Zubat. I'm definitely want the Gym Leader to be more of a challenge, maybe you guys could give suggestion on what Pokémon they should use. Well I'll be having Bulbasaur and Squirtle evolve before they head to the Orange Island, but the Silver Conference that could work for their final forms. I like your idea for the Kabuto.
A fan: Considerate done.
Now like I said in the last Ash will start the trades in the chapter but you won't see what he gets till next chapter. But he will get a new Pokémon this chapter.
"Come on Krabby you can do it, that's it Squirtle keep at it, Pikachu looking great, and Eevee you're doing well." Ash cheered as his Pokémon swam back and forth.
Today he was some solo training, while gone he had Professor Oak to give the rest of his Pokémon what instruction on their training today. He would of ask Brock and Misty to but they were learning how to wind surf. Currently he was training further down the beach from them, currently he had Pikachu, Eevee, Krabby, Squirtle, Scyther, and Charizard. Up in sky, Scyther and Charizard were flying around in a circle. Today's training would be stamina training, he decided to get ahead start with their water base training, as battling in the water may take longer.
Before he left, Ash had a discussion with his Tauros held, of course they were hesitant. But Ash assured them that if they decided to stay with him, then he would still raise them and train with them. Some of them agreed but other stated they need more time to think about it. The only one who rejected them was the leader who wanted to stay. One the discussion was over, Ash gather the ones who were okay with being traded, and went over to Professor Oak told him the result. Through he made sure to say his good bye to his Tauros and thanked them for the memories. With that Professor Oak placed his Tauros up for trade. Ash asked Professor Oak if he could help him select the Pokémon offered. Prof. Oak agreed, noting wanting to risk the trainer getting ripped off. Once that was done, he gathers team he would be working with and took off. Currently Ash was in a boat, while his Pokémon worked on their stamina. While working ton their training, something erupted from the water.
It was a giant Magikarp, but on closer inspection Ash released it was Team Rocket's submarine. Suddenly a next shot out, catching all his Pokémon in the water. Then the top of the submarine open as two people appeared.
"Prepare for trouble." The red headed woman began.
"And make it double." The blue haired man continued.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within are nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of life!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth that right!" Said, the taking cat.
Ash wanting to get back to training, called out to Scyther.
"Scyther use Quick Attack to get in close, then use Slash to cut the net." Ash ordered.
"Scyther." Scyther cried out, doing what Ash asked him to do.
The net was easily cut as the Pokémon were freed and swam back to their trainer.
"What, when did the twerp get a Scyther?" Jessie not happy.
"Who know, also when did he catch the Krabby?" James added.
"A who care let swipe them all." Meowth cheered.
"Go Arbok/Go Weezing!" Both Jessie and James called out. However as soon as they were called out, a net made of electricity ensured them. Pikachu had used its recently learn Electroweb, and trapping the two Pokémon. Squirtle then unleashed a powerful Water Gun that sent them crashing into their trainers.
"How dare you!" Jessie yelled.
Ash's brow twitch, and in an upset voice yelled, "How dare you, well how about this Pikachu use Thunder!"
"Pika Chu!" Pikachu squeaked, as Team Rocket was shocked causing the submarine to blow up. However they didn't blast off instead landed in the water. As they rose to the surface to breath, while Ash just glared at them.
But before they could say anything, a large shadow appeared, that erupted from the seas. It was a large Gyarados that did not look happy. Everyone was nervous except for Charizard who flew down to face the Gyarados.
Before unfortunately for everyone, Gyarados fired a Hyper Beam that thankfully missed, but ended causing an explosion that sent everyone flying. Team Rocket shouted they were blasting off again, while Ash and his Pokémon flew towards a group of storm clouds. Nothing was left except Ash's boat, which somehow survived.
(Later)
Ash awoke when he felt something poking him, as he opened his eyes, he saw several bipedal Pokémon with light orange scales, and two antennae alongside a blue serpent like Pokémon looking at him.
"Ah!" Ash shouted waking his Pokémon.
Everyone just up, and were shocked to see some many Dragonite.
"Dragonite, did you rescue us?" Ash said, looking at them.
Dragonite nodded, causing Ash to nod as he thanked them. The other Pokémon thanked them, even Charizard, though he looked ready to challenge them. Suddenly one of the Dragonite, and the Dragonair next to them motion for Ash and his Pokémon to follow them.
"Maybe they want to show us around?" Ash questioned.
As the grouped walked around, they saw many more Dragonite, and several Dragonair. Looking around he saw a pair of Dragonite taking a nap, another pair gathering fruit. Soon they came to a stop as they saw three Dragonair. The Dragonair were moving around, smacking in to each other. Suddenly the orbs on their neck and tails seemed to release a pulse of energy, and the three glowed. Ash then noticed the Dragonair next to him looked sad.
"Pika." Pikachu suddenly said, causing Ash to look.
Suddenly on of the Dragonair took off in the air, as flew around in a slithery motion. The other followed suit, as around three were flying in the air. Everyone was amazed at the sight, and Ash used the opportunity to take pictures with the Pokédex.
Suddenly Pikachu freaked out, causing Ash to turn around as was shocked to see Krabby carrying something in its claws.
"What do you have in your claw Krabby?" Ash asked taking the object. The object it was long a clear, also it looked my skin. "Is this a Dratini skin?" Ash questioned. "Where did you find this Krabby?" Ash then asked.
Krabby then land Ash to a cave where they found more shed skin. Looking around, they noticed a Dragonite with a small blue serpent, and Dratini, it child perhaps. The Dratini was rubbing against a rock, as it glowed. Suddenly Ash heard a rip, and the Dratini slithered out of its old skin. Ash looked one in awe, the then knelt as the Dratini approached him. He held out his hand, as the Dratini cheerfully rubbed up against him. Ash was shocked at how softs the Dratini felt. A few minutes later a took another photo of the skin, with Charizard stretching it to its full length, while the Dragonite and Dratini played in the water.
He knew Brock, Misty, his mother, and Prof. Oak would have loved to see this. Ash also placed the skin in his backpack, as he figured Prof. Oak would have loved to study it. After spending some time relaxing at the water fall, the Dragonite and Dragonair from earlier continued to show them around. As they walked around Ash noticed a storm cloud surrounded the island. He couldn't help but wonder something, looking his Pokédex's information on Dragonite, it said that Dragonite could control the weather. Perhaps the Dragonite used their powers to create a storm that surrounds the island, in order to keep their home hidden.
The group ended up on a beach again, as saw a few Dragonite doing some stretches, before taking off. Ash was amazing seeing them flying through the storm with little difficulty. He then noticed the Dragonair that was walking with them earlier flying the wings on its head trying to fly. However, despite its attempt Dragonair was unable to take off and fell back down. Dragonair looked sad unable to fly, and the other Dragonite tried to cheer it up. It flapped its wings in an attempted to show it how to fly.
"Maybe it doesn't know how to fly yet?" Ash suggested, see Dragonair trying again to no avail.
Dragonair tried several more times, to no avail as it kept crashing into the sand. Dragonair rose but looked down in sadness. Wanting to help it, Ash walked up to it.
"Pikachu." Pikachu called out, gaining Dragonair's attention.
"Hey would do you say we do some training?" Ash suggested, with Dragonair still looking at them.
For a few minutes Ash was thinking of a way to help Dragonair learn to fly, when he remembered the Dragonair from earlier. He recalled their movement look like dancing. Suddenly had an idea, as he had his Pokédex look up a move.
Dragon Dance, a move that combines concentration and rhythmic movement to increase the and Pokémon physical skill, and speed.
Looking at the moves description, Ash decided this was the way to go in teaching Dragonair to fly. Ash then told the Dragonair to use channel its dragon energy into its movements as it slithers around. Ash thought about teaching to Charizard as well, apparently it was an egg move of his, alongside Dragon Rush, Dragon Breath Dragon Tail, and Outrage. He remembered asking Brock what an egg move was. Accord to Brock it's a move a Pokémon inherited from one or both of its parent. Accord from Prof. Oak Charizard has a member of Dratini line in his bloodline. Since While Charizard parents have inherited the move from its own parents.
However, Charizard couldn't use Dragon Dance the same way Dragonair could, since Charizard was built more like a Dragonite. But perhaps the other Dragonite could show Charizard how it works. Dragonair continued to slither around as it built up its energy, soon it began glowing as the energy reached the stage Ash was looking for. He then told Charizard and Scyther to lift Dragonair in the air and release it so it could have unleashed its energy. He then asked them to catch it if it continued to fall. Ash told Dragonair no to worry, and focus on performing Dragon Dance.
The two Pokémon lifted Dragonair into the air once they were 15 feet off the ground, they released Dragonair as it unleashed its energy. Dragonair floated for a bit, before falling down. The two Pokémon caught it, before bringing her down to rebuild her energy. The group repeated several times each time Dragonair managed to stay up longer. Other Dragonite noticed and gathered around watching their friend. Ash cheered on Dragonair, as did the rest of his Pokémon. All the Dragonite around them also cheer, with its friends cheering it on Dragonair looked determined. All they in position Dragonair told Charizard and Scyther to lift it higher. Once they released Dragonair, it once again unleashed its energy after thirty seconds in the air, Dragonair began moving in a serpent-like movement as it flew around, and mastered its Dragon Dance. Everyone was cheering for Dragonair, as it finally managed to achieve the ability to fly as it so desired. Dragonair flew down to Ash as it wrapped itself around him, hugging him as a thank you. Ash hugged Dragonair back, as Pikachu and Squirtle jumped onto Dragonair cheering. However, Dragonair soon turned its attention to the sea.
"Dragonair?" Ash asked wondering what was going on.
Dragonair then got ready to take off, Ash said he was going too. Dragonair motion for Ash to climb on, but when he tried to grab a hold, his hand slipped off. Realizing he couldn't ride Dragonair, he told Dragonair to go head, and he'll catch up. Dragonair took off, as did the Dragonite. Ash asked Charizard to give him a lift, who agreed. Ash climbed onto Charizard, as did Pikachu, Squirtle and Eevee, which Charizard to almost fall over, not used to the extra weight. After getting use to the to everyone on his back Charizard took off into the air. While Krabby climbed onto Scyther and flew off after them. Charizard struggled as he wasn't use to carrying his trainer, along with several other Pokémon.
Once they caught up to the Dragonair, and the rest of the Dragonite, they saw what was wrong. Team Rocket had one of their friends trapped. As it was in a cage, now attack to their balloon. Once the saw Ash Team Rocket saw this as their chance to snatch Pikachu again.
James called out his Weezing again, and told it to use its Sludge Bomb. Ash then told Dragonair, and all the Dragonite to work on free their friend, and he would handle Team Rocket. Ash to Scyther to launch Krabby, and for Krabby to use Crabhammer. Krabby onto Scyther's arm, as the bug threw Krabby, who slammed its claw onto Weezing. Scyther then use Quick Attack to catch Weezing. As the Dragonite came closer, Team Rocket had their other Pokémon, tried to distract them.
The Dragonite moved around and retaliated, being knocking out the rest of Team Rocket's Pokémon. While Ash dealt with Weezing, Weezing fired a Sludge attack, causing Scyther to dodge. However, the attack went on causing Charizard to dodge, but the sudden shift cause Ash to fall off, and plummet towards the ocean. Charizard raced towards his trainer, but was slowing carrying the other Pokémon. Dragonair saw Ash falling a raced to catch him, but he Ash to grab a hold, his hand slipped again. Dragonair refused to give up, suddenly she glowed, as a bright light covered her. Dragonair began to change, growing wings, arms, and legs sprouted from the body. When the light disappear, Dragonite was reveal. Dragonite dove for Ash, its new found speed and arms, managed to catch Ash in the nick of time.
"That's awesome, you evolved." Ash cheered.
After freeing their friend, the Dragonite cheered seeing their friend evolve. Then a swirled appeared on their face as they looked Team Rocket. James returned his defeat Weezing, only to see and army of angry dragons. Jesse tried to offer a spot, only for the Dragonite to blast them away with Hyper Beam. The Dragonite gather around their friend congratulating it. Then made their way back to the island. As a thank you to Ash for helping their friend the other show Charizard the basics to use its egg moves. Once the sun was setting Ash returned his Pokémon except Pikachu, and Charizard and was ready to head home. Before suddenly Dragonite pulled Ash into a hug, looking at Dragonite it seemed it didn't want to part with Ash.
Dragonite turned to its friend and said something that surprised both Pikachu and Charizard. It then faced Ash and looked at Ash with hopeful eyes. Smiling Ash knew what Dragonite wanted, "You want to come with me?" Ash asked receiving a nod.
Ash agreed but said, he but said to say goodbye to friends and family because once he caught him, he would be sent to Oak's lab. Nodding Dragonite bid goodbye, and Ash threw a Pokéball. Dragonite was sucked in and once the capture was complete, the Pokéball disappeared. Ash bid farewell to the rest of the Dragonite, and promised that they would visit them. Climbing on Charizard, the three made their way back to the mainland.
The sun was almost gone by the time he arrived back, and landed near his mom, Misty, and Brock. Delia demanded to know where he was, causing Ash to flinch. Smiling Ash promise to tell them, but only when they got back to the lab, as he had something incredible to show them. When Brock asked if he caught a new Pokémon, he nodded, but said he wouldn't tell them what it was. Curious Ash raced over to Prof. Oak after thanking Charizard, then returning him. The others knowing, they couldn't keep up, decided to walk. Once they made it to the lab, they were astounded to see a Dragonite hugging Prof. Oak, a little too tightly it seemed. Seeing his mom, and friends, Ash introduced Dragonite to them, causing Dragonite to let go of Oak, and hug them instead. Once Dragonite finish hug them, Ash went over today's adventure.
Alright, that's chapter 6 I hoped you enjoyed. Ash has Dragonite now, and we'll see the traded Pokémon next chapter.
