Chapter 4

Author's Note: This is word emphasis

Pewter City:

It's been a week since Senna, and Ash arrived in Pewter City. The female Oak twin would spend half an hour each day with her new Pidove while she was recovering before training her pokémon into the ground. The day before she was to challenge Brock she had her team rest. Kaze had evolved into a beautiful pink Butterfree, Poseidon(Gyarados), had learned Ice Fang, she'd used TM 13, Ice Beam, on him as well, and had found TM 55, Scald, in Viridian Forest, that she also taught to Poseidon. All told Poseidon was ready to face Brock, yes, she knew it was generally two on two, but she had trained three up just in case. Ariel had Water Pulse in her arsenal that she learned naturally, she'd also been taught Scald through TM, and had just learned Bubblebeam as well.

Ash would face Brock first while she would get to face the Cerulean City Gym first. They had been hearing rumors about how three of the four sisters weren't taking their jobs seriously anymore, leaving it up to the youngest, whom should be going on her journey, to deal with everything. Senna wanted to school them badly. They were already preparing for their journey through Mount Moon as well. They were stocking up on Moon Balls, Quick Balls, Dusk Balls, Repeat Balls, Potions, Super Potions, Lemonades, Waters, Soda Pops, and other healing items. All of Senna's pokémon whom were going to battle against Brock were holding Charti Berries which decreased the damage taken from super effective rock type moves. Ash was borrowing some Charti Berries from her until he could call Daisy, and work out a deal, or have his mother get him a Berry Case.

That was what they were thinking until a Berry Case, filled to the brim with every kind of Berry out there was found at the front desk for Ash. Red had apparently come through for his son, now all Ash would need to do is make a deal with Daisy to replenish his Berry stores when he was running low. You couldn't always count on finding berries in the wild after all. Oran Berries were plentiful, as were Persim, Pecha, Cheri, and Chesto. Aspear and Rawst were a little harder to come by. Which was why the Oak family also had an Orchard. Any berry they only had one of was planted, and they harvested like mad until they had a decent amount of said Berry. Their mother's Bellossom, Ledian, and Beedrill helped with taking care of the Orchard which made the work a little easier on the humans. Gary was going to catch an extra Diglett to help with tending the Orchard as well.

Gary had decided to stick around long enough to watch Ash, and Senna get their Boulder Badges, mostly because he wanted to see how much harder he was going to have to train his pokémon to be able to compete with Ash. The rivalry between their fathers had passed down to the sons. Again, it didn't help matters that Gary just had to get Blue's arrogance. Gary and Senna head up above to watch as Ash challenges Brock. Brock leads off with Geodude, and Ash smirks at this, " Gyarados, let's go! "

Brock's eyes widen, " This is a two on two battle between Brock Slate, the Pewter City Gym Leader, and the challenger, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. Only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions. Gym Leader Brock has sent out Geodude, while the challenger has sent out Gyarados. Battle begin! " This is all said by one of Brock's younger brother's Forrest Slate.

" Geodude, Rock Throw! "

" Gyarados, counter that with Blizzard, then use Ice Fang! " Ash immediately reacts to the situation before him. Blizzard freezes the rocks used for Rock Throw, Ash was just grateful he had found TM 14 in Viridian Forest. Then Gyarados moves with astonishing speed to land the Ice Fang attack.

" Geodude, Rock Tomb! " Brock orders while observing the young trainer before him.

Ash rolls his shoulders, a light blue sheen to his eyes, battle meditation was so damned useful. " Gyarados, Brutal Swing! "

" Shit, Geodude, use Rollout to get out of there! " Brutal Swing, TM 59 is a dark type damage dealing move that can only be affected by Protect, which Geodude did not know, and would hit all pokémon regardless of whether they're allies or not. Hence why Ash chose to use it in his battle against Brock.

Unfortunately for Geodude the attack hits, sending him careening to the far end of the gym, swirls for eyes, " Geodude is unable to battle, Gyarados is the winner. "

" Not bad, Ash. Wouldn't have expected Brutal Swing to be in Gyarados' arsenal. "

The Oak Twins look at each other, " Neither did we. " They say in unison.

" Oh, Brock, I'm challenging you tomorrow. " Senna adds.

Brock looks up, and groans, " She's your sister, Gary? "

" She is, have fun battling her tomorrow, Brock. "

Brock sends out Onix, his Starter pokémon, and Ash looks at Gyarados, " I'm gonna recall you for now, if I need you, you'll be brought right back out. I think it's only fair one of the others that trained themselves into the ground for this badge get the opportunity to battle as well, okay? "

Gyarados nods and Ash feeds him a Sitrus Berry before recalling him, and sending out Chinchou. " Gym Leader Brock is using Onix, and the challenger is using Chinchou, the battle can now begin! " Forrest intones.

" Onix, Rock Polish. "

Ash snarls under his breath Rock Polish was a move that increased the speed of the pokémon that could use it, " Chinchou, use Confusion, and follow that up Thunder Wave. "

Confusion hits dead on, and confuses Onix, while the Thunder Wave immediately on its heels does it's job of paralyzing Onix as well. Brock opts to feed Onix a Persim Berry first to clear up the confusion Onix was under, and that was when Ash, and Chinchou struck with a Water Pulse and blizzard Combo. Onix was holding a Yache Berry which took care of the Ice Attack, and Onix survived getting hit by Water Pulse. Brock uses a Hyper Potion on Onix to restore Onix's health while Ash narrows his eyes. Up above Gary smirks, leave it to Ash to make damned certain to have several aces up his sleeves. Then again he did happen to be Red's son, battling was in his blood, literally.

Senna was smiling widely as she watches her pseudo boyfriend battle for his first badge. They were definitely heading for Cerulean City first, because they wanted to go through Mount Moon. Mount moon happened to have Zubat, Cleffa, Onix, Geodude, Chancey, if you got really lucky...they were going for Pokédex completion after all. "Chinchou, Soak. "

Brock's eyes widen in horror, " Fuck, Onix, Dig, now. "

Dig saves Onix from getting turned into a Water Type, which would then make any electric type attacks super effective. " Chinchou, return, Gyarados, you're on. "

Brock groans, flying types were immune to Dig, and Gyarados had a secondary flying type with the primary being water. Ash grins as the attack doesn't affect Gyarados, " I did my homework for this battle, Brock. There's also the fact that Senna managed to pound certain facts into me, like the effects of different berries, type advantages/disadvantages, things like that. She's an Oak so of course she'll know things like that. "

" Damn straight, Ashy-boy, and don't you forget it. "

" It's times like this I'm grateful I'm adopted, Gary. Tone down the damned arrogance already! " Senna ripostes.

Gary rolls his eyes, " Senna, out of my sisters you're my favorite, because you're sensible when it comes to fashion, you go for comfort, and function over how it looks. "

Senna smirks, " Unlike Daisy, I can make anything look good on me. "

" Then why don't you wear dresses? " Ash asks her.

" They are vile, evil, loathsome death traps that should never have been invented. That Mudbray faced bint forced me to wear one every Arceus be damned Sunday! " Senna fires back as Ash orders Gyarados to use Brutal Swing once more, having several Charti Berries at the ready if Gyarados needed to use the one he was holding.

Onix uses Protect, and then Rock Blast. Gyarados uses the Charti Berry he was holding, and then slams an Aqua Tail into the Rock Snake Pokémon. Onix glares at the Atrocious Pokémon, having been given a Passho Berry by Brock. Passho Berries decreased the effects of one super effective water type attacks. The whole gym was shaking from the clash between the large serpentine like pokémon. Brock had never even suspected that a rookie trainer would make him work this hard for victory. Damn, how the hell were kids raised in Pallet Town anyhow. Gary and Senna are both holding onto the rail of the viewing area they were in, " Dammit, Ash, how fucking strong are you going to be in a year from now? " Gary demands.

" Hey, I intend to get into the top six at the League Tournament, Gary. " Ash retorts, " I will also remind you as to whom my father is. "

Brock heard the intonation Ash put on that last little bit of what he'd said, who the hell was his father anyhow? " Onix, Gyro Ball. "

" Gyarados, Blizzard! "

The two attacks collide in midair, and cancel each other out. Onix, once the smoke clears, can been seen with several scratches on his rock hard body, and panting lightly. Gyarados also looks worse for the wear though Ash uses a Hyper Potion on Gyarados, and feeds him a Leppa Berry to replenish the amount of time he could use Blizzard. He really needed to get a PP up for that move, dammit! " I have to admit, this is the most challenging battle I've had in awhile, Ash, I'll definitely want a rematch between us. "

" Should be fun. Iron Tail! "

The Iron Tail slams home faster than Brock can give an order, and and Iron Head is thrown in for good measure. Onix goes down hard, " Onix is unable to battle, the winner is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. "

" Ash, it is my honor to award you this Boulder Badge, along with TM 34 which contains Bide. " Ash accepts the Badge, and TM while checking his Trainer Account to see how much winning against Brock had netted him, he'd ended up getting 1400 Poké Dollars.

Ash does his iconic badge winning pose with Gyarados, and Chinchou, Senna grabbing Dexter to take the picture to commemorate his first gym battle. " Okay, I have to ask, who is your father, Ash? "

Ash smirks as Pikachu leaps back up onto his shoulder, he'd been topside with Senna, and Gary, " I am the son of Delia Ketchum, and the original Dex Holder whom holds the title of the Battler. "

Brock and Forrest both stare at him, " You're Red's son?! "

" Hey, we're Blue's kids. " Gary points out.

" Why the hell are they both Pallet Town natives. What the hell do you have in your water, or in the very air that causes so many trainers to be so damned good coming out of Pallet Town anyhow? " Brock asks them.

" Hey, don't lump me in with them, I'm a transplant. " Senna says, huffing.

" You're still an Oak, and don't think I don't know about all the red tape that mom and dad had to go through to make sure no one could try, and pull a fast one, and take you away. Yes, even I know you're from a different dimension, Senna. " Gary states.

Senna rolls her eyes, " I literally got teleported into this dimension by what is termed Psychic Power here, and Magic in my birth dimension. If fucking necessary I'll brew the blood adoption potion as well. No way in hell am I getting stuck with that Mudbray faced bint, her Snorlax of a husband, and her Wailmer of a son! "

Brock and Forrest both just watch on, " Ah, you're from a different dimension, Senna? Plus, your powers brought you to this one? " Forrest asks.

Senna sighs, " My Mudbray bint of an aunt absolutely hates magic/psychic powers, same sex relationships, in short anything that is not considered normal. My childhood was hell until my magic brought me here. In my dimension this is all a video game. Blue, and Red's Pika got to me first after the light show that went off when I arrived. Pika still stays close by too. I trust that you two will keep my origins quiet, right? "

" Sure, we both know what could happen if we don't though anyone even attempting to experiment upon you would be dealing with Blue and Red. "

" They'd also be dealing with our mother, also an original Dex Holder, Green. Yes, we know, our mother is essentially a con artist. She's currently exploring Alola, and sending a lot of things back since she has such a silver tongue she gets them at a hugely discounted price. " Gary admits.

Senna just giggles at the stupefied looks on the Slate siblings' faces, before they make their way to the Pokémon Center so Ash, and Brock could get their pokémon healed. None of the three Pallet Town natives were really surprised by this reaction to whom they were related to. Should Giovani find out exactly whom Ash really was he'd either try and use him against Red, or stay the hell away from him in fear of pissing Red the hell off. Red had singlehandedly almost entirely demolished Team Rocket at his son's current age, he could do much worse as an adult having taken quite a bit of time to train his team up to even higher levels. Blue was not stupid enough to piss off his childhood rival, Red was terrifying when he was pissed. Blue would rather deal with a rampaging Arceus than deal with Red when he was well, and truly pissed off.
