Chapter 2

Ash lets out his Squirtle so he can walk with him and Pikachu, it's pretty nice to walk with 2 of his starters in this beautiful forest. He decides to take a break from walking and go under a tree taking off his backpack. Pikachu climbs up the tree while Squirtle is by Ash. Ash took out two cans of his own homemade Pokémon food he made with his mother.

"Come down, Pikachu lunch is ready, afterwards we gotta train for the first gym leader. I know the first gym leader uses rock type Pokémon, Squirtle would be the smart choice to go with sense water types is super effective against rock types. But I also wanna train Pikachu for him to know Iron Tail, the steel type move that can help us against Brock." Ash smiles while explaining to his partners, they both cried in agreement.

After Lunch, they both get into training mode, with Squirtle Ash teaching him how to use Water Gun on moving objects to raise his accuracy. With Pikachu how to use Iron Tail, since there are no big boulders around for him to practice he has to rely on the tree. Pikachu just keeps hitting the tree with his tail until he masters the move. Little did they know there's a purple mouse in Ash's bag stealing his berries.

"Okay guys let's take a 30 minute break and eat a snack." Ash says to his Pokémon and they nod in agreement.

They went towards the tree where his bag is, Ash saw the little purple mouse in his big. He saw this and decided to confront the mouse while he chose Pikachu to use Quick Attack on the mouse, he threw the pokéball at him and caught it in one ball. Ash lets out Rattata and scans him with the pokédex.

"A Forest Pokémon, Rattata. It likes cheese, nuts, fruits, and berries. It also comes out into open fields to steal food from stupid travelers. Also it knows the moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, and the egg move Flame Wheel haven't been unlocked." Dexter is finally done explaining about the Rattata.

"Interesting moveset, I guess this isn't too bad of a normal type Pokémon but there is room for improvement. We're gonna finish training at Viridian City Pokémon Center." Ash returns Squirtle and Rattata, Pikachu hops onto his shoulders.


Ash and Pikachu are walking towards Viridian City, the clouds are very dark and it starts to rain.

"What the hell? It didn't say on the weather channel it was going to rain." Ash gets a bit upset but runs through the rain, not all of sudden a big Fearow decides to attack Ash.

"Today isn't just my lucky day." Ash sighs and Pikachu looks towards Fearow, shooting a Thundershock but Fearow is too fast.

"Okay Pikachu I am going to throw you towards the Fearow and give him the biggest Thundershock you can do!" Pikachu looks at him like he is crazy but agrees nonetheless as he has no choice.

"Pikachu use your biggest Thundershock ever!" Ash throws Pikachu into the air towards the bird, as time slows down he uses full power Thundershock which takes down Fearow. He throws the pokéball at the bird and catches it in 2 shakes since Fearow is barely conscious.

Ash picks up the ball and starts to run towards the city, the storm starts to stop and they saw a rainbow in the sky as Pikachu and Ash looks up and saw a rainbow bird soaring in the sky, a rainbow feather falls down and lands in front of Ash, he picks up the feather and puts it inside his hat.


Ash is finally at Viridian City and he went straight towards the Pokémon Center. He went inside the building and got his Pokémon healed up which only took a second. He grabbed his pokéballs and went to the video call center to call his mother and Professor Oak. They were very happy to see Ash is doing alright and caught new Pokémon, which makes the Professor happy because he won a bet with Gary and made some money. Ash just shakes his head sighing, thinking he needs to stop making bets with his grandson. He went to the back of the Pokémon Center and let out all of his Pokémon.

"Okay everyone let's get to training now! We need to get very strong if we're ever gonna reach the top, and take down Champion!" Ash claps his hands and his Pokémon get to training, they are battling each other to get their endurance, speed, and attacks up. He decided to scan the brand new Fearow he captured.

"Fearow, the Beak Pokémon. The evolved form of Spearow. Its large, powerful wings allow it to fly for an entire day. The crushing power of its beak is tremendous. Fearows moves are: Wing Attack, Drill Run, Fury Attack, Assurance." Dexter is done explaining.

"I caught quite the Pokémon!" Ash decides to do training of his own, since his Pokémon are training he will do some of his own so he can get strong as well.

Squirtle goes to Ash and shows him a brand new move he learned during training. He learned a new move called Water Pulse.

"Great job Squirtle! You are doing amazing work." Ash smiles at his starter and pets him on his head which he really enjoys.

He decided to call it quits when they got done with an hour of training, really impressed with his Pokémon hard work today. He went inside the Pokémon Center and get his Pokémon healed. He decided to rent a room for tonight and went to sleep.


Ash woke up from his sleep, he and his Pokémon ate breakfast. He decided to go to the Pokémart to stock up on pokéballs, antidotes, potions, and some more pokéfood. He is now going to Route 22 to catch a new Pokémon over there, he knows there is the Pokémon League Reception Gate but he won't go too far.

"Wow so many Pokémon here to catch! It's time to catch some." Ash smirks and runs into the open field and battles and captures Nidoran Male and Nidoran Female. Squirtle and Rattata gain experience from the battles.

He uses the pokédex to know about his new Nidoran Male and Female "Nidoran Male, Its horn is larger than the female's and its Horn Attack is quite powerful. Nidoran Female, Its poison pin is quite powerful for its size, but its horn is smaller than a male's."

He switches to the moves section of the pokédex to know their moves, "Nidoran Male moves are: Poison Sting, Tackle, Leer, and Double Kick. Nidoran Female moves are: Horn Attack, Poison Sting, Double Kick and Leer." Now he puts away dexter.

"Okay everyone come on out!" He throws out 3 pokéballs and his Nidorans come out and Fearow.

"We are going to train all day today, don't worry we'll take breaks in between. We still need to be extra prepared for Brock!" His Pokémon cry in agreement and start training with each other.


It's been an hour so he stopped his Pokémon for a break before he hits the road, all his Pokémon enjoy their lunch and relaxing break. He put all his Pokémon in their pokéballs besides Pikachu, and decided to go to the Pokémon Center and deposit his Fearow and Rattata and Nidoran Male to Professor Oak's Lab.

(Yes its the PC from the games but it takes the Pokémon to Professor Oak's Lab instead of it being in the PC 24/7, but I combined it with the anime so he doesn't need to call Professor Oak everytime he wants to swap out team members)


He arrived at Viridian Forest and was amazed at all the bug types that's in the forest. He found a Caterpie when he first entered looking at him, he threw the pokéball at the Caterpie and caught it in two shakes.

"Wow, I got a Caterpie! Let's see if we can get a Weedle!" Ash smiles at Pikachu and runs through the forest looking for it.

It took him a while to find the Weedle that was climbing the tree and threw a pokéball at it catching it in one shake. He decides to take out the two bug Pokémon, when they come out the ball he pulls out the pokédex and points it at Weedle.

"Weedle. The stinger on this Pokémon's head guarantees that any attacker will get the point right where it hurts. Weedles Moves are: Poison Sting, Tackle, String Shot." Now he points the dex at Caterpie.

"Caterpie, the Worm Pokémon. Caterpie uses the suction cups on its feet to climb trees and feed on its favorite leaves. Caterpies Moves are: Bugbite, Tackle, String Shot." He smiles at the two bug Pokémon.

"We are gonna have a 30 minute training session so we can fully evolve both Caterpie and Weedle, they are very easy to evolve to their 3rd stages." Ash lets out Squirtle to join Pikachu on battling Weedle and Caterpie.

Pikachu and Squirtle battles with Weedle and Caterpie, the two bugs are very great battlers but Squirtle and Pikachu are not even close to using their full power or even use serious moves on the bugs. But it's enough for the two bugs to glow and they both evolved into Kakuna and Metapod both learning Harden.

"Wow congratulations Metapod and Kakuna." Ash gives the injured Pokémon a potion, they are both happy that they evolved and one step to their dream.

A certain Trainer is watching Ash and his Pokémon behind a tree and waiting to make a move.


(That's the end of Chapter 2, sad news but I am not going to have Misty and Brock join Ash, this Ash would be somewhat similar to Manga Red from the Pokémon Adventures Manga, and I might add Yellow later on in the story. Misty and Brock will appear when Ash calls them for his progress or to see how the gym leaders are doing, basically they are still friends no matter what just like the anime. Also they both are going to watch Ash in the League sense Gym Leaders would be basically on break when the League starts. Also I think Misty was mad annoying in the anime, and she got on my nerves especially when she argued with Ash. So ya there will be a lot of mixing with content in here just to make things interesting.)
