Chapter 5 A New day of Capturing Pokemon

A new morning has come, and Ash wakes up by the sound of Fletchling, he then notices how his arms are wrapping the still sleeping Serena. He smiles and thinks, "Man, she is so cute, I wish I can stay with this forever…wait, what am I thinking?" Ash scolds himself, then he uses Double Team to create another self, he walks to Pikachu and Eevee, who also rubs their eyes.

"Pikachu, Eevee, let's go training, shall we?" Ash says.

The two Pokemon nods as they head outside to the yard. Pikachu asks, "But what about Serena?"

"Don't worry, I made a copy of myself, since I don't want to wake her up and I guess she wants me to stay longer." Ash says.

"I see." Eevee says.

After 30 minutes later, Serena wakes up slowly and sees the arms wrapping around her. "I can't believe we sleep together…"

Serena then turns around and sees that Ash is looking at her, he grins, "Morning, Serena. How do you sleep?"

Serena says, "I sleep gratefully thanks to you."

Ash smiles and says, "I wish I could have stayed longer, but right now I need to get up. Pikachu and Eevee are already out to train, so I need to find them."

Serena playfully groans and says, "Fine."

When Pikachu and Eevee are practicing Quick Attacks, Ash feels his other self heading outside, he says, "Pikachu, Eevee, Serena is awake. I need to get back to my body."

The two Pokemon nods as the copy disappear. Then they rush to Ash and Serena, who walk outside.

"Hello, you two. How do you do?" Ash asks.

Pikachu and Eevee just nod and give their calls, and then Serena asks, "So Ash, how long have you been with these two?"

Ash says, "Pikachu is my starter Pokemon I got from Professor Oak, and Eevee just hatched two days ago."

"Wow." Serena says as she uses her Pokedex to scan the two Pokemon.

"You see Serena, I have already traveled through 5 regions."

"Wow, I wish I could do that, too. But my mom wants me to do Rhyhorn practicing." Serena says.

"If you don't want to do it? Why don't you talk to your mom?" Ash asks.

"Because I am not sure what my goal in life is, so despite I always complain, I still do the practicing."

"I see." Ash says. "Why don't we travel together? That way we can help you."

Serena says, "Sure. I really want to see the outside world, too."

Just then, Ash feels someone poking him, he turns around and sees nothing there.

"Huh?"

"Ash? What's wrong?" Serena asks.

"I feel like someone is poking me…" Ash says as he feels it again.

"Well, I think it is your imagination." Serena says.

"I guess so." Ash says with a sigh until they hear singing. Ash then notices the tune and says, "Wait, that tune…"

Serena says, "Wow, who is singing? The voice is so beautiful."

Ash quickly rushes to the nearby tree and asks, "Meloetta? Is that you?"

Just then, they see tree leaves rustling and the Pokemon floats appear in front of the two.

"Hi Ash." Meloetta says.

"It really is you, Meloetta, long time no see." Ash says as he hugs him.

Serena asks, "Ash, isn't that a mythical Pokemon? How do you know her?"

Ash says, "It is a long story. But Meloetta, what are you doing here? And how is Ridley?"

"He is fine. And I offered to come with you." Meloetta says. "Mother told us that you changed back to yourself, so all the Legendaries will come and join your team.'

"Wow, seriously?" Ash says surprised.

Since Serena can't understand Pokemon, she asks, "What does she say? Why are you surprised?"

Ash says, "I will tell that another time. Well, when I met Meloetta, she was being targeted by my uncle's group called Team Rocket."

"Team Rocket? Isn't that a famous Pokemon research company?" Serena asks.

"Huh?" Ash asks as Meloetta says, "Don't worry, we knew he captured me was from Mother's orders, but after that incident, Mother changed everyone to believe that they are a research company. Well, except the three, who still thinks that their boss is in jail."

"Oh, I see." Ash says. "Well, Serena. Yes, that Team Rocket."

Serena says, "Wow…"

Meanwhile the Trio is spying them, Jessie says, "Isn't that the same Meloetta we were targeting back in Unova?"

James says, "What is she doing here?"

"Who cares? If we capture that Pokemon, we can use it to save the boss." Meowth says.

"Wobbuffet!" The said Pokemon pops out again.

"So Meloetta, here goes." Ash then touches the Pokemon in the Pokeball, and it is captured.

"Wow…you have captured Meloetta…" Serena says in shock.

"Well, I guess so. Let's get back inside, we should have breakfast now."

"Yeah, I am hungry, too." Serena says as they head inside.

Back inside, Ash has Meloetta on his shoulder. Insey asks, "Brother! Is that a Meloetta?"

"No way!" Nate says.

"Well, yeah. She is. Meloetta, I would like to introduce my friends." Ash says.

"She is so cute!" Bonnie tries to get close, but Meloetta vanishes. "Hey, where did it go?"

Aurora laughs, "You are too close, Meloetta is a shy Pokemon."

"Aww…" Bonnie says.

After having breakfast, Ash asks, "So Mom, Ms. Grace, can Serena join our journey throughout the Kalos Region? Please?"

Aurora asks, "And why is that?"

Ash says, "Well…I promised Serena that we will be traveling together, and I want to fulfill that promise."

Grace sees how Ash really cares for Serena, she says, "Sure, Ash. I don't mind."

Serena asks, "You mean it? Mom?"

"Of course, Serena." Grace says as Serena gives her a hug. "Thanks Mom."

Clemont says, "So we are going together."

Bonnie says, "Yay! Welcome to the group."

Then a few minutes later, Ash and his friends bid farewell to Aurora and Grace and head to Santalune City.

When they arrive at the forest, they decide to take a rest and Ash decides to teach Serena how to capture Pokemon.

"So all I need to do is to battle a Pokemon, and then I capture it?" Serena asks.

"Yes." Ash says as he spots a Pikachu. "Why don't you try it out with that Pikachu?"

"Okay. Fennekin! Come on out!" Serena says as she tosses the Pokeball and appears the fire fox.

"Use Scratch!" Serena says as it hits Pikachu. Pikachu then uses Thundershock, which Fennekin dodges.

"Use Ember!" Serena calls as the Pokemon shoots out a fire attack, causing the Pikachu to get burned.

"Now, Serena!" Ash says as Serena yells, "Go! Pokeball!"

Pikachu then sucks into the Pokeball, it shakes theee times until it is successfully captured!"

"Alright! I caught a Pikachu!" Serena cheers as Insey says, "Way to go. Serena."

Clemont says, "And an Electric Type, too."

Ash says, "Now we should train our Pokemon, too. Froakie, Fennekin, Chespin! I choose you."

As the three Pokemon are out, Serena asks, "You have the three starters, too?"

"Well, yes." Ash says. "Since they often refuse to listen to trainers, Professor Sycamore lets me handle them."

"Ehh.." Serena says as they start to train their Pokemon.

Meanwhile a small orange Pokémon with medium ears and whiskers coming out its cheeks was trying to get a berry from a berry tree up high. As it tried to pull it out,the group was walking below. It then pulled too hard and the berry then slip off its paws and fell down below, hitting Bonnie in the head.

"What the?" Bonnie says as she rubs the spot that is hit.

Everyone then approach where the berry landed until a sudden jolt send to berry hurling towards Bonnie.

"Bonnie!" Nate says.

"Are you alright?" Clemont asks.

"I was surprised." Bonnie says.

"What is it?" Serena asks.

Just then, even the Pokemon feel presence of a Pokemon from the shadows. Bonnie picks the berry up and says, "Does it want this berry?"

From there the small Pokémon then revealed from its hiding sport to get its lunch until it was confronted by Pikachu. From there everyone stare at them while both Pokémon were doing something with their cheeks.

"Wow…it is a Dedenne." Nate says.

"It is so cute!" Bonnie squeals in delight.

As Pikachu and Dedenne were still communicating via electricity, Bonnie asks, "Clemont, can I keep it? Please?"

"Keep?" Insey asks.

"Just letting my brother capture this Pokemon until I am older enough to travel, then it will be my Pokemon." Bonnie explains.

"Sure, if you like it." Clemont says.

Bonnie says, "By the way, you want this fruit, right? Dedenne?"

Bonnie then offers the berry to Dedenne while Clemont gets a Pokéball ready. Suddenly something small and fast snatch the berry from Bonnie's hand.

"What the?" They then see a Fletchling, who eats the berry that it steals. Dedenne starts to cry and then runs off.

"No! Dedenne!" Bonnie yells, but it has gone far.

"It runs away…" Ash says as Bonnie starts to cry.

Froakie notices it and then starts to attack Fletchling with the Frubbles, only to be dodged.

"It is so fast!" Serena says.

"Alright, I am going to capture it." Ash says. "Pikachu, use-"

But before he can attack, Chespin, Fennekin and Froakie starts to attack the Pokemon on their own.

"Hey! I didn't tell you to attack!" Ash says. "Fine, Froakie, use-"

But they still don't listen to Ash as they keep attacking, the little robin Pokemon dodges all the attacks and uses the Gust to send them to the tree.

"So that is what the Professor mean by not listening to trainers…"

Ash decides to step in as the three Pokemon are on the ground. "Froakie, Fennekin, Chespin! Please listen to me!"

As Fletchling uses Razor Wind, Ash takes the hit due to shielding them, causing the three starters to gasp.

"Are you alright?" Ash asks them. "I know you just want to teach him a lesson because it made Bonnie cry, right?"

"Is that so?" Serena asks.

"Thank you guys…" Bonnie says as she comes and hug the three. Ash says, "But we need a plan. I have a strategy, so we should work together." Ash says.

Clemont says, "Well, it is time for me to shine, The future is now thanks to science CLEMONTIC GEAR on. May I present the Bird Pokémon Luring Machine." Clemont presents a record player with dignity.

That's a dumb name." Bonnie says while can't believing another one of her brother's lack of name creatively.

"Ha believe me when this device emulates a magnetic substance that controls a flying types homing instinct via sound waves of a certain frequency. Just like how a magnet attracts a metal! Now Switch on!" Clemont says as he cranks up the record player, there Fletchling sits on a branch watching what's happening.

"There it is" Bonnie says.

"Ha I told you." Clemont says while still cranking the device.

But there Fletchling stays there looking unscathed while something in the trees surrounded the group.

"Uhh, Clemont I think you should stop." Nate says nervously.

"Clemont?". Says Bonnie.

"Huh it should be working." Clemont says looking a bit confused. There a hive of Beedrill comes out of the shadows.

"Oh no, Beedrills!" Serena says.

"Everyone, run!" Ash yells as they start to everyone starts running down the path while Clemont is still cranking the machine.

"The frequency I must've picked was too low and a higher frequency would've worked on bird Pokémon." Clemont says while still cranking the machine. He then starts to crank faster which attracts the Beedrill a lot more.

"Stop it Clemont! You are making it worse!" Insey yells.

"Maybe a little faster!" Clemont says, only to make the machine explode, Ash and his friends, including some Beedrills are caught in the explosion as they all turn black.

"It fails…" Nate says.

"But it is amazing to attract the Beedrills." Insey says as she tosses a Pokeball on a Beedrill, and it captures successfully. "Good, another one for my Bug Team."

Serena asks, "You really love to capture Bug Pokemon? Insey?"

"Well, of course." Insey says.

Then they see the Fletchling laughing at them, until Ash says, "I guess it is time we get the plan into action."

The three Pokemon cheer as they prepare their battle stance. "Froakie, use the cliffs to jump higher! Chespin, use your Vine Whip to send Fennekin to the air!"

Froakie then uses the cliffs of the ravine to bring itself to the same height as Fletchling, while Chespin lifts the Fennekin. Together, the two Pokemon uses Ember and Water Pulse at the same time, causing Fletchling to fall down from above.

"Okay." Ash twists his hat and says, "Go! Pokeball!"

As he throws the Pokeball, it shakes for a lot of times, and then it is captured.

"Alright!" Ash says. "I caught a Fletchling!" His Pokemon also cheer with him.

Insey says, "That is awesome, Brother!"

"Yeah, you captured a Fletchling." Clemont says.

As Ash sends the Pokemon out, Fletchling then apologizes to Bonnie about his behavior. After Bonnie forgives it, they decide to head to Santalune City. Unbeknownst to the group, the Dedenne from earlier hides behind a rock and observes them.

After that, it is lunch time, Ash decides to cook for them as he made sandwiches and a plate of spaghetti.

"Wow, it looks so delicious." Insey says.

"Yeah, I can't wait to dig in." Bonnie says.

"As for you guys, I have made some for you." Ash says as Pikachu, Fletchling, Eevee and Meloetta come to eat their Pokemon Food.

As they are eating, Clemont says, "Well, Ash. You must teach me how to make the spaghetti, it is delicious."

"Sure." Ash says. "Serena, do you like it?"

"Ehh?" Serena snaps out of her thoughts and looks at Ash, she blushes a little and says, "Yeah, they are good."

"Well, I have made more of them…" Ash says as he tries to get the sandwiches from another table, but he finds that two sandwiches are missing.

"Hey! I remember that I made 4 of them." Ash says.

"Did you just eat them?" Nate asks.

"No, I didn't." Ash says, but then he hears the mumbling sound. He follows the sound and sees an Inkay munching on the sandwich.

"Oh, it is an Inkay." Ash says as he bends down.

"Here, have another one." Ash hands the sandwich out to him, he just thanks him and eats it.

"Want to come with me?" Ash asks and the Inkay nods. Ash takes out the Pokeball and captures him.

Bonnie asks, "Ash? What are you doing there?"

Ash says, "Well, Inkay, come on out." Ash says as the Pokemon appears from the Pokeball.

Nate says, "Wow, you caught another Pokemon already."

Insey says, "And a powerful controlling Pokemon, you can use it to control people."

Ash says, "Stop saying that I am a bad guy. I don't want to control people until emergencies."

"Well, I know you want to control someone's heart already…" Insey whispers in his ears, causing him to blush.

"Insey! Stop teasing me!" Ash yells.

"What does she say?" Bonnie asks.

"Stop asking! Please!" Ash is already as red as a tomato, everyone laughs at him.

After the food is finished, Bonnie decides to feed more food to Fletchling and Pikachu. However, a Dedenne runs up to Bonnie, snatches a piece of Pokémon food from her hand, and runs up a tree to eat it.

"Hey, that is the same Dedenne from before." Clemont says.

"The one that we didn't manage to keep?" Bonnie asks.

"Does it follow us all the way here?" Serena asks.

Bonnie realizes something and says, "Brother! I want to keep it!"

"Okay…" Before Clemont can reach a Pokeball. Dedenne runs off. "Come and catch me." He says.

"Wait, Dedenne!" Bonnie yells as she chases the Pokemon.

"Meloetta, Inkay, Fletchling, help us find Dedenne from the skies."

They nod as they go off. "Dedenne! Come out come out wherever you are!" Bonnie says until she trips over a small hole.

"Bonnie!" Everyone yells as she opens her eyes, seeing Dedenne in the hole.

"Found you!" Bonnie tries to capture the Pokemon, but it starts to play games with them. Clemont sends out Bunnelby to help finding it. Pikachu eventually corners Dedenne underground before tackling Dedenne. The force causes the pair to roll down too far down the tunnel to roll out of a cliff face into a field.

Meanwhile, the trio is looking at the lost pair and Jessie says, "Pikachu spotted."

"And we will get a prize, too." James says.

"What is that Pokemon?" Meowth asks.

James types on the screen and says, "A Dedenne, it is an electric type."

"Looks like they are communicating with Electricity, Meowth, can you translate?"

"I can't translate currents." Meowth says.

"At least the twerps aren't here." James says.

Insey says, "I guess it is gone."

"Oh my…" Bonnie groans.

"Wait, Pikachu is missing, too." Ash says.

"Could it be he got lost along with Dedenne?" Serena asks.

Ash then decides to tell his Pokemon to fly through the air and find them.

At the same time, Pikachu and Dedenne attempt to reach Ash and the group and a tummy is rumbling.

"Are you hungry?" Pikachu asks.

"Yeah…" Dedenne says.

Pikachu looks around and sees a Sitrus Berry Tree. He uses Thunderbolt to retrieve it.

"Wow…" Dedenne looks in awe.

"Here you go." Ash hands him the berry as he happily eats it.

But suddenly, a device is throwing at them as Pikachu manage to take Dedenne out of the way.

"Who goes there?" Pikachu yells.

(Insert Team Rocket Motto)

"Now Pikachu surrender now." Jessie says.

"As well as the prized Dedenne." James says.

"Dedenne, let's run. They are bad guys." Pikachu says as they run off.

After failing to land the devices, Pikachu retaliates with Thunderbolt.

"Wobbuffet! Mirror Coat!" Jessie says as Wobbuffet reflects the Thunder attack to them.

Pikachu and Dedenne have fled onto a steep rocky cliff face. Jessie throws an electric net at the pair once more, it misses, but causes Dedenne to fall. Pikachu manages to grab its tail and then both run further up the rocky cliff face.

"Let's get going." Pikachu says after saving him, Dedenne then has sparkles in his eyes as he also goes with them.

"Oh no you don't! Mime Jr.! Use Psychic!" James yells as the mimic Pokemon hits Dedenne with the attack.

"Psybeam!" James yells, which the attack knocks both Electric Pokémon into a river.

"They are getting away!" Jessie says.

"Don't worry. I have a boat!" James says as he takes out the inflatable boat.

They chase them downstream on an inflatable boat but end up crashing into a rock. The boat deflates, which sends them blasting off.

After Pikachu and Dedenne gets back to the shore, Pikachu sees Dedenne lost conscious.

"Hey, Dedenne! Wake up!" Pikachu tries to shake him up.

Fletchling and Inkay are looking around the area until they spot them.

"Pikachu!" They yell as Pikachu notice them. "Inkay! Fletchling! Need help!" Pikachu yells.

After several minutes, Ash and his friends arrive. "Pikachu!" Ash says as Eevee rushes to him and hug him.

"Ash! Everyone! Dedenne is…" Pikachu says as he points at the fainted Dedenne.

"Oh no." Bonnie says. "What should we do?"

"Where is the nearest Pokemon Center?" Nate asks.

"No, we should charge him up first." Clemont says.

"How do we do that?" Serena asks.

"Leave it to me." Clemont says, "The future is now thanks to science. CLEMONTIC GEAR on. I got the perfect machine for a situation like this. I present you my Electricity Generator."

Bonnie sighs, "Another boring name."

Clemont takes the plastic board and says, "If you place the plastic under your arm and rub it like that…"

He places the board on top of Bonnie and her hair straightens up. "It will build up the Electrons and then creates the electricity."

Ash says, "It sounds amazing. Maybe we can try it out."

As Clemont places Dedenne under the machine and switches on it, it starts to create electricity and then Dedenne wakes up.

Everyone is happy to see Dedenne wakes up, Insey asks, "I think it is enough, right?"

"About that…" Clemont then shows them the lever he broke it. Causing them to panic as the machine is overheat.

"Dedenne! Get out of there!" Bonnie yells.

"Serena, hold on me." Ash says as he pulls her in a hug as the machine explodes, everyone, except Ash, Serena and Insey are having Bouffalant hair.

"Not again…Brother…" Bonnie says.

"Ash? What did you just do?" Serena asks.

"I just protected my princess, that's all." Ash says, causing Serena to blush.

Dedenne then comes to them and thanks for the electricity, and before they can capture him, Team Rocket appears again.

"Not you guys again." Insey yells.

"So you are the ones that hurt Dedenne." Nate says.

"And we will capture both Pikachu and that Dedenne." James says as he sends out Carnivine, but Carnivine decides to hug James. "Not now! You are here to battle!" James says.

Dedenne decides to battle this on his own, as it uses Nuzzle to make Carnivine paralyzed. After that, Pikachu and Dedenne work together to send them flying.

"That is that." Ash says.

"Team Rocket? Why are they targeting your Pokemon?" Serena asks.

"Well, Serena. Before they are a research group, they used to be a criminal group. Those three didn't know about the fact that the research group is now good. So my uncle wants us to teach them lessons until they manage to give up."

"Is that so?" Serena says.

"How come Uncle didn't tell me this?" Nate asks.

"Me too?" Insey asks.

"Well, it is a long story." Ash says.

Dedenne then uses Electricity to talk to Pikachu, Pikachu tells them that Dedenne wants to join the group, Bonnie is happy as Clemont captures it and then lets him stay at Bonnie's bag.

That night, Serena is panicking, Ash notices it and asks, "Serena? What's wrong?"

"I forgot to bring my tent…" Serena says.

"What? How can you forget it?" Nate asks.

"Then I guess we need to let you sleep with one of us." Insey says as she looks at Ash. "Brother, since you have already slept together, how about you two share a tent?"

"I am fine if she is okay." Ash says.

"Thanks, Ash." Serena immediately jumps into Ash's arms, causing him to blush.

After making the tents, Ash decides to go for a walk in the Santalune Forest, until he notices his Mother standing in front of him.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Ash asks in shock.

"Can't I see my boy travel? In fact, I have been watching you all the time."

"You did?" Ash blurts out in surprise.

"Relax, Ash. I just want to see how you have been. I will give you privacy. Anyway, I have this for you." She takes out an orb, Ash immediately recognizes the orb.

"This is Regigigas…" Ash says in surprise.

"I know. Ash." Aurora says. "He is your Pokemon. And he will he also helping you."

Ash says, "Thanks mom." As he places the orb on the ground, it glows and Regigigas appears, then it treats Ash as his father before Ash tosses a Cherish Ball on the Pokemon.

"Now that is it, I should give you some privacy now." Aurora says.

"Bye mom." Ash says.

"Oh, and remember to change the you know what." Aurora says, causing Ash to fall on the floor in embarrassment.

"Mom…" Ash groans.

Here is a new chapter. And Ash has obtained two Pokemon and Two Legendary Pokemon in this chapter. I hope you enjoy it. As for Insey and Nate's team, since they aren't permanent characters, their Pokemon will be all the Bug and Normal Pokemon respectively in Kalos Pokedex.

The next chapter will be the Gym battle.
