(in case you decided not to read my notes earlier in chapter one, the music I keep mentioning can be found on youtube on the mentioned playlist. Just make sure to finish reading the part before the creepy Japanese starts. I don't know why its there, i don't know what they are saying, but it probably shouldn't be there. Also, LISTEN TO MY NOTES THEY CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT)
(Our heroes meet up with a strange figure. Ashly seems to have recognized him, But from where? Is he friend or foe? And what new adventure awaits them after this encounter?)
"Oh Fudge….." groaned Ashly.
Who's this guy?" May asked.
(Music: Oden)
"Some guy who I met on my first journey. He called himself a samurai and would wait in the forest to challenge new trainers from pallet. We had a little scuffle with one another and I beat his Pinsir with my Metapod" Ashly replied.
"So that's good right?" May asked.
Ashly shook her head sadly. "No, that's bad. Because he stayed in this same forest all these years, never changing his attire or demeanor or making any progress in his life whatsoever. I hate to think about how his Pokemon feel about being allied with that retard who hasn't even left the Arceus-damned forest from the first time I met him."
"But that does mean he's a devoted trainer though" may replied.
"No it means he's too stupid to know when it's time to move on and take on a new challenge. He's basically been fighting the same level trainers over and over since I was on my first year training. And to make things worse, Pokemon gain experience as they fight making them harder and harder to gain further levels. If you keep fighting the same weak battles for many years you will never gain anywhere close to as much experience as you could if you went to a city like Cerulean and did the same shtick. HE STAYED IN THE SAME FREAKING FOREST AND COSTUME SINCE I WAS TEN YEARS OLD!" Ashly sobbed.
(End music)
Since she and may were using pokespeak, The samurai never knew what they were saying about him.
"Are your Pokemon alright?" He asked Gary.
"Yeah they're fine. But you…seriously, do you realize you've been here for several years? Ash Ketchum has gone through Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and the won the orange island league and fought legendary and mythical Pokemon, even going on to stop national crime syndicates and to save the entire world…LOTS OF TIMES! What have you Accomplished?!" Gary asked him.
"I…..I've spent this long here?" The shogun asked in shock.
"Yeah. Sure not many people have heard of ash worldwide apparently, but as his friend I know what he's done! You on the other hand were one of the first trainers he ever battled and you stayed here all this time?! What the heck is wrong with you?!" Gary yelled.
His yelling however had woken up a large group of angry Pokemon. Not bedrill mind you, but a cave full of ursaring.
"Um, do you hear growling?" Asked Shogun.
"Please tell me you've at least eaten" Gary replied sarcastically.
"No seriously. Do you hear that?" Shogun pressed.
Gary sweatdropped. "Actually…I do…and I don't like it…" He stammered.
About twelve ursaring rose up out of the bushes looking like pedo bears About to jump a small anime girl which, with Ashly there, wasn't that far from the truth.
Pikachu meanwhile sat in a tree above the scene.
"Wow…your friends really stepped in it now eh?" A Caterpie asked it.
"Yeah. I can't believe it either. But at least they're smarter than some people" Pikachu sighed.
"Who? Those morons with the paper tank in a forest full of bug Pokemon a while back?" Caterpie asked.
"Yep, them" Pikachu answered.
"Gary, that isn't love on their faces, that's a look of hanger" whispered May in his head.
The lead usuring roared and jumped at Gary. Ashly however used Tackle and the blunt force move combined with her horns made the bear roar even louder in pain.
"Now you've done it" shogun yelled while the Pokemon began to chase them.
"Ok, I think we lost them" panted Shogun.
"So what do you plan to do with your life?" Gary asked.
Shogun though for a bit.
"I think maybe I'll go on to challenge the league."
Gary nodded "That's a good idea. So I'll see you there. That's where I'm headed too" he said.
"Oh no, you think I'm just gonna let you go that easily! First you have to battle me…..and my six metapods" shogun declared.
"MOTHER FRICK!" Shouted Gary.
("WHO'S THAT POKEMON?!" Round-Segmented shadow appears with a V shape on the top of one of them…..)
("ITS CATERPIE- awwwww…" Image changed to show a picture of A cake that says "nobody loves you" on it)
[Yes, We do care about you. And no this wasn't an insult directed at our readers. It's a joke on how so many people would get the 'Who's that Pokemon' wrong just because they couldn't say it's name right]
(Music: burning battlefield)
"I may not have six metapods but I do have a strong Pinsir" shogun said.
"GO DAWN" Gary shouted as he threw out her pokeball.
"Alright, my first battle" she cheered.
"Pinsir, use Bite" ordered Shogun.
His Pinsir ran forward and and attempted to pick her up.
Gary tensed up, knowing those teeth would really hurt her.
"Use scratch! Don't let it grab you" he called.
Dawn's claws glowed and when it reached down for her, she slashed it leaving red marks in its chitin plating.
The Pinsir dropped her and held its left hand in pain.
"That's nothing. Pinsir dive in with tackle" shogun yelled.
"Dodge it!" Said Gary.
The Pinsir ran towards Dawn and she quickly ran behind a tree. It tried to turn away but rammed into the tree Getting it's horns stuck in the wood in the process.
"Now, run on the tree and use tackle on its face" Gary shouted. Dawn ran out from behind the tree, then ran up the trunk and rammed her shoulder into the pinsir's face, The blunt force snapping its horns off of it's head.
"Looks like you should have trained harder, eh Shogun?" Gary chuckled.
"In the league this will be different! Pinsir, return!" Shogun said. He pressed a button on his pokeball and the red bean pulled Pinsir back into the ball.
(End music)
Shogun payed Gary some pokebucks and then ran off down the road.
Ashly ran over to dawn and glomped her. "You did Great!" She cheered.
"I feel pretty good too. No new moves yet though…" Dawn replied.
(You want team rocket back?! Oh we'll get to team rocket soon, Don't you worry about that! You'll get both…)
Gary led Ashly and Dawn down the road, having returned may for the time. "Do you think those Spearow are still following us?" Gary asked.
"I dunno' but no need to worry, right?" Dawn asked.
"They had to have stopped to rest somewhere after Jenny blasted them with that powerful roar attack" added Gary.
"True, but they could have easily flown the distance" Ashly muttered.
Dawn looked over at Ashly. "You know, you seem smarter then when we traveled together" she said.
"Do I? I guess all the time I spent on the road could do that to someone" Ashly laughed.
(Actualy it was the drink she got at Spinda's café last fic)
They now stood at the top of a hill overlooking pewter city. "There it is, Pewter city. The place where Ashly and I got our first gym badges" Gary said.
"Now to confront Brock" Ashly mumbled.
"Sorry kid, but the road to pewter is closed right now due to an attack by the team rocket organization. However, you could spend this time training in the Pewter rock mines. They give out three free meals plus board to the ones who volunteer there. And as a bonus, you can get a match against Brock if you can find him there" said a man next to a detour sign.
Gary fell backward anime style.
"But hey, we can still battle Brock, right?" Asked Dawn.
"I guess…well, Looks like we're going to the mines before Pewter" Gary sighed.
(What could await our heroes in the new Pewter mines? Maybe a new friend, or possibly a challenge? No matter what's in store, the journey will continue)
(These chapters will probably vary in length as the story goes on)
