Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON!

"RUN, CHARMELEON!" Ash yelled.

"CHARRRR!" Charmeleon too yelled.

Ash and Charmeleon leaped over a huge log as a horde or stampede of Ursaring's charged at them with a few letting loose a Shadow Claw attack while the rest were firing random Hyper Beams around the forest.

"I know I said that I wanted a Teddiursa in my team, but I didn't think you'd hit it with a Flamethrower!" Ash yelled.

"Meleon, Char!" The Flame Pokémon retorted.


(The Reason Why Ash and Charmeleon were being chased)

Ash woke up with a huge yawn as he crawled out of his tent, sure he was at the edge of the forest but he hadn't made it through completely, the Pallet Town Trainer walked over to the campfire to cook up a meal as he tossed all his Poke Balls in the air.

"Alright, gang. Time to eat!" He yelled.

Slowly, one by one all his Pokémon assembled as he laid down five trays of food for each of them to eat. All were eating except for two Pokémon, the newly added members Golisopod and Nidorino.

"What's wrong? Do you want something else instead?" Ash asked.

"Char, meleon, char." Charmeleon told them.

Golisopod and Nidorino looked at their bowl of food, it wasn't Pokémon food but rather it was a stew that Ash made. They seemingly dip their finger in before licking it, soon after licking the two Pokémon proceeded to devour the content within the bowl.

"Glad you like it." Ash smiled.

The group continued to eat their breakfast before keeping the bowls and tent 35 minutes later, Ash slowly recalled all his Pokémon all except Charmeleon.

"Let's hurry to Bill's place, shall we?" Ash asked.

"Meleon." Charmeleon nodded.

Both Trainer and Pokémon continued down the road as the nearby bushes started to rustle catching their attention, they snuck towards the rustling bushes to peek behind it. And once they did, they could see a small orange-brown bear scratching a tree which produced sap from within.

"Teddiursa, the Little Bear Pokémon, Teddiursa loves to eat honey, they dig out the honey from the tree stem with it's sharp claw while loving honey, Teddiursa loves to hide food throughout it's territory before winter comes." Dexter told the young Trainer.

"Teddiursa, huh? Well, getting a Teddiursa would be nice since Ursaring is quite a strong Pokémon." Ash mumbled.

Charmeleon out of nowhere blast a Flamethrower at Teddiursa shocking Ash as the Little Bear Pokémon started to cry out loud, with shiver down his spines. Ash could feel murderous intent behind him as he turned around slowly to see a bunch of angry big bears.

"Ursaring, the Hibernator Pokémon, Ursaring are very protective of their young and will do any absolutely to protect them, Ursaring will also mark trees to indicate their territory." Dexter told him.

Ash gulped loudly as he turn his head to the tree where Teddiursa is to see a 'X' shape marking on it, Ash looked at Charmeleon who had the same face of terror as Ash took a few steps backwards.

"RUN!"


(Current Situation)

Ash and Charmeleon continued to run as a Hyper Beam flew pass their face making them sweat a lot.

"Charmeleon, char!" Charmeleon called out.

"No, Charmeleon. Fighting will just make things worse, but all I have now is two words three syllables." Ash retorted.

"Char?"

"KEEP RUNNING!"

"CHAR!"

They continuously ran forward without stopping one step, but after running midway down the road. They were pulled into the cover of a big tree as the Ursaring's ran by them without even turning back once to see where they were.

"We're saved, thank-" Ash stopped talking when he saw another Ursaring.

He was about to let out a huge shout of fear, when the Ursaring covered his mouth with it's assumed paws.

"Shh, be quiet. I'm not an Ursaring!" The Ursaring in disguise spoke.

"There's a button at the center of the back of this suit, my arms at a little too short so I can't press it. Would you mind pressing it for me?" It requested.

Ash was still confused, he searched the back of the Ursaring to see a small red button. Without a single clue as that was the only button, he pushed it making the suit come down to reveal a man.

"Thank you, thank you so much. I thought I wouldn't be able to get out of that suit anymore!" The man thanked restlessly.

"You're welcome, now please calm down." Ash responded.

"My name's Bill, nice to meet you." Bill introduced while extending his hand.

"Nice to meet you Mr. Bill, the name's Ash Ketchum." Ash greeted.

Hearing the Ursaring's returning, Bill quickly led Ash away towards another direction.


After following Bill for almost an hour or two, they arrived at a tall lighthouse at the outskirts of Cerulean City.

"This is?" Ash questioned with uncertainty.

"My research center, or at least the Cerulean City's Lighthouse." Bill answered.

He opened the two huge doors before walking inside, and unlike the outside which was tidy. The inside was a disaster, it looked as if a combination of a Whirlwind and Twister had just happened. Books were all over the place, pieces of paper were scattered around like trash, and suits looking like Pokémon's were hung almost everywhere he walked.

"Sorry about the mess, Ash, even though you're my guest." Bill apologized sheepishly with embarrassment.

"It's alright, Mr. Bill. I'm actually quite use to a messy room." Ash waved off with a smile, because truth to be told. His room was quite messy, though not as terrible as Bill's research center.

Bill laughed a little before setting down his Ursaring suit on a nearby rack.

"Say, what do you do with all the suits here anyways Mr. Bill?" Ash questioned politely, as Bill took a Clefable suit in hand.

"Let's just say, I use this suits to get near to Pokémon's of human height such as a Ursaring and try to live how they live in their normal environments." Bill explained.

"And I also do so because I want to meet all sorts of Pokémon, and I do have one that I in hopes of meeting." He added.

Ash was now very curious about this.

"Which one are you talking about?" The Pallet Town Trainer asked.

"That one over there." Bill pointed.

Ash turn his head to look at the directory of Bill's finger to see a picture of a rather huge dragon with tiny wings, Ash looked rather amazed by the picture as he look at Bill.

"That Pokemon once saved me before, and I want to meet to say thanks. But everytime I get near, it runs away." Bill expressed.

"Saved?" Bill nodded.

"It happened around four years ago, when I climbed the tallest mountain near the border of Kanto." He started.


(Four Years Ago, Bill's Past)

A younger looking Bill appeared at the base of a snowy mountain with a man in a red cap who had a Pikachu on his shoulder.

"You sure you want to climb Mount Silver, Bill? It's not too late to turn back you know." The man questioned to be more confirming.

"I'm sure, Red, and thank you for accompanying me today." Bill answered with a smile.

Red chuckled as he walked into the entrance of the cave system before turning around to see Bill.

"You're rather welcome, Bill. Now, come on, a great adventure awaits at the top of this mountain." Red smiled.

The red capped Trainer went on ahead first as Bill followed soon after, but just separating for at least two to three minutes. Red was nowhere in sight, confusing Bill a lot.

"Red, where did you go!" Bill yelled.

Bill received no answers as he advanced forward into the darkness of the cave, the researcher started to shiver not because of the cold but because of the horror and eerie feeling the cave felt.

"I hope no scary looking Pokémon comes out." Bill prayed silently with fear in his voice.

A sound of something walking came from behind him as Bill immediately tensed up, he slowly turned around before flashing his flashlight. And upon doing so, a two Pokémon, one that resembled a large red spider-like Pokémon and the other resembled a average sized bat-like Pokémon with a rather huge mouth.

"I-I-I-I-It's an Ariados and Golbat!" He yelled.

The two Pokémon glared at him before charging at him, causing Bill to run for his life. And since Red was nowhere near his location, he had no one to save him from this kind of trouble.

"Why do I always get the scary looking ones to chase me!" Bill yelled in question to himself.

He quickly ran out of the cave before stopping midway, though it wasn't because he saw light. But because there was nowhere else to run, he quickly turned around to see the same Ariados and Golbat glaring at him.

"Do you think we can talk things out?" Bill tried to somewhat negotiate with them.

The negotiation failed when Ariados and Golbat launched a Fell Stinger and Air Slash attack respectively, Bill immediately shut his eye embracing for the pain. But as the seconds gone by, a huge explosion was heard in front of him.

"Wha-?" Bill questioned with confusion.

He opened his eyes to see a big dragon-like Pokémon standing in front of him as the two poison types were seemingly quivering with slight fear, without a next command the unknown dragon type fired a devastating Hyper Beam. Blasting Ariados and Golbat back into the cave.

"Thank you for saving me." Bill thanked.

"Dra!" The dragon type roared before flying off into the sky at incredible speed.

Bill looked at the sky as he watch his saviour fly off towards a distance to parts unknown.

"Bill! Are you alright!" Red yelled, catching the researchers attention as Bill face the front.

"Yeah, I am. Thanks to a huge dragon-like Pokémon with tiny wings and antennas on the top on it's head." Bill answered calmly as Red raised an eyebrow.

"You're kidding me, right? Bill?" Red said jokingly.

"You know anyone hardly sees that Pokémon flying around, right?" Red grinned, taking his friend's word as a joke.

Bill sighed loudly, considering he wasn't a Trainer, nobody would believe it.


(Current Day)

"And that's the story, I really wanted to see that Pokémon again. It would really be a dream in my four years of life." Bill finished.

Ash looked rather fascinated and amazed by his story to tell, surely this Pokémon must be either rare or hardly to be seen if even his father would take it as Bill's joke.

"So, Mr. Bill? What makes you think that the same Pokémon would come here?" Ash asked curiously.

Bill thought for a moment, he had never made any plans to make sure that the same Pokémon would come here. Much less in four years, the same Pokémon didn't appear at all.

"Honestly speaking, I had absolutely no clue. I just stayed here in hopes that it appears." Bill admitted to his no-plans stay.

"I see…" Ash trailed off tone.


A thunder crash came from outside, alongside a few yelling which caught their attention entirely. They ran outside as fast as they could to see a rocket member in a different suit from the rest that Ash had met.

And in front of her was a Lucario who was in a battle stance, meanwhile in front of the Aura Pokémon was an injured dragon-like Pokémon. Bill widen his eyes to notice the Pokémon as Ash took out his Pokedex.

"Dragonite, the dragon Pokémon, Dragonite can fly at a speed of 1,556 mph encircling the world in just sixteen hours, Dragonite's are kind and intelligent and will only go on a rampage if threatened. Dragonite usually lives near the sea and by doing so, it is hardly seen." Dexter explained.

Ash kept his dexter as he looked over to Bill.

"Mr. Bill, is that the Pokemon you were seeking all this time?" Ash questioned.

"Yes, Dragonite is the one, and it's also the same one!" Bill yelled.

"Alright, in that case, Nidorino, stop Lucario!" Ash yelled.

Nidorino appeared from his Poke Ball, before charging at Lucario. Knocking the fighting and steel type several miles away into a big rock, shocking Ash and bill as well as the rocket member.

"Wow, that's some amazing strength." Ash mused out.

He pulled out his Pokedex to check on Nidorino's information, as it showed as followed.

Name: Nidorino

Ability: Rivalry

Gender: Male

Known Moves: Double Kick, Horn Attack, Horn Drill and Sucker Punch


Ash closed his Pokedex before placing it in his pocket as he looked at Nidorino.

"Double Kick, once more!" He ordered.

"Lucario, don't give them a chance, use Aura Sphere!" The rocket member yelled.

Lucario formed a small blue sphere in between his palms before firing it at Nidorino who was on route to his location, and just by making contact. The Poison Pin Pokémon flew back to Ash, a little hurt even though it was proven not very effective.

"Ash, please be careful, that's an admin you're facing." Bill warned.

"Admin, huh?" Ash mumbled.

A single sweat trailed down his head to his right cheek as he was nervous against the rocket admin who's Lucario quickly recovered from it's injury earlier.

"I don't know who you are kid, but it seems you have guts to meddle with our business." She commented before facing her Lucario.

"Bone Rush, finish them off." Lucario nodded at her command.

The Aura Pokémon created a blue bone on his right hand, before spinning it around as he charged at Nidorino with remarkable speed. Hitting the poison type Pokémon five times in total, but before he could land the sixth hit, a strong Thunder Punch crash to right side of his body sending him away from Nidorino.

Ash and Nidorino looked at who their saviour was, to notice Dragonite growling at Lucario as it prepared yet another Thunder Punch attack.

"Tch, Lucario." She started, catching the fighting and steel type's attention.

"We're leaving." Lucario jolted up in shock at her words, clearly he could win the fight.

She turned around as Lucario leaped beside her as he glance backwards at Ash.

"Don't think I'm running away because I'm scared, the next time we meet. You'll be in a world of hell, kid." She sneered before walking off.


They watch as the unnamed rocket admin walked out of sight alongside her Lucario. Dragonite soon kneeled down on the ground, presumably from it's injury as they ran up to it.

"Are you alright, Dragonite?!" Bill yelled.

Dragonite gazed at him before nodding it's head as Ash took out a medical box.

"Please hold still, Dragonite. This is going to hurt a little." Ash told the Dragon Pokémon.

Ash sprayed a bottle of Max Potion on Dragonite's wound causing the dragon and flying type to growl in pain, Ash soon wrapped a bandage around it's wounds as he kept the medical box.

"It's done, how do you feel?" Ash asked.

Dragonite responded by swinging it's arm as it nodded it's head in affirmative to it's injury being fine, Bill soon walked over to Dragonite before gazing it in the eye.

"Dragonite, do you remember me?" He asked.

"Dra?" Dragonite tilted it's head.

The dragon and flying thought for a moment, it nodded it's head before coughing a little and what happened next, shocked them till next week.

"Of course, I do little human." It responded in a feminine voice.

"That's?!" Bill started.

"Telepathy!" Ash finished.

Dragonite nodded it's head as Bill started to speak.

"You saved me back then, thank you very much, Dragonite." Bill thanked with a smile.

"You're welcome, although I'm pretty sure that I only ended up saving you because they were actually in my territory." Dragonite responded.

"But still, thank you. Because if it wasn't for you, I would have really been dead." Bill smiled.

Dragonite looked curious, it looked up and down upon Bill before speaking it's mind.

"But why would you be thankful? I could have harmed you too, you know?" Dragonite asked

"Still, if you were planning to harm me. You would have done so by now, wouldn't you?" Bill retorted.

Dragonite sighed in respond before looking at Bill.

"Then human, would you like me to join you? I would love for someone to care for." Dragonite proposed, shocking both of them.

"I'll join you under your care, and in return. You can battle with me however you wish." Dragonite added.

Bill was shocked both in physical and mental form, he subconsciously pulled out a Poke Ball as he pointed it at Dragonite.

"If you're very certain, I'll be more than happy to look after you. Dragonite." Bill smiled.

Dragonite nodded, clicking the Poke Ball. The Dragon Pokémon got sucked in as the ball rolled around for a few seconds before clicking, Bill immediately summoned his newly capture Dragonite.

"Welcome aboard, Dragonite." Bill told his new friend.

"Likewise." Dragonite replied.

Bill kept the Poke Ball in his pocket before turning to Ash, who was simply just watching the entire scene. Filled with appreciation, Bill handed a certain item to Ash. Though it was in three copies.

"Ash, please take these as my token of appreciation for trying to help Dragonite." Bill told him.

Ash was taken aback by his action as he took the tickets off of his hands, and on closer inspection. It was a cruise ticket for a ship call S. .

"Mr. Bill, aren't this tickets extremely expensive?!" Ash yelled as Bill laughed a loudly.

"I was thinking, since I'm not a Trainer. Those tickets are of no use to me, but if I were to pass them to a more worthy Trainer." Bill stopped his speech as he just smiled at Ash who brighten up.

"Thank you, Mr. Bill. But what are you going to do from now on?" Ash responded.

Bill put his finger under his chin before thinking for a moment as he looked at the young Trainer before him.

"I'll continue staying here to further up my research, but I wish you luck on your journey." Bill told him.

"Thank you, Mr. Bill, and I also wish you luck in your research." Ash responded.


Ash departed from the Lighthouse with a goodbye to Bill. A day has passed with Ash now standing in front of the Cerulean Gym.

"Hey there, Ash. I guess you're going first?" Gary's voice shot out, causing him to turn around.

"But you're the first one on the list, so you'll be fighting first." Ash grinned.

They smirked at each other as a new voice came into play, a unfamiliar voice.

"Since you're both here, why don't we go for a double battle?"

The two Pallet Town Trainer turned around to see a orange hair girl in a blue swimwear as the two boys looked at each other.

"Are you sure? That might not seem fair if you don't have a partner." Gary told her as the girl gave them a cheeky smile.

"Don't sweat it, and besides. I want to see what the son of Red and Blue can do, so what do you say?" She grinned.

Ash and Gary looked at each other before gazing back at the girl in front of them.

"If you're sure." Ash started.

"Bring it on." Gary smirked.

A few minutes passed as the girl stood on the opposite on where they were standing on the field of battle.

"The name's Misty and I'm the leader of the Cerulean City Gym, now state your names." She greeted.

"The name's Ash Ketchum." Ash introduced.

"And I'm Gary Oak." Gary too introduced.

The referee stood on the center as he press a button on a device, changing the battlefield into a rock terrain.

"The battle between Gym Leader Misty against Challengers Ash and Gary will now begin!" He yelled.

"The Gym Leader is allowed to use six Pokémon and the Challengers are allowed to use three of each, the battle will end when one side is unable to continue!" He explained.

"If both sides are ready, present your Pokémon!" He requested.


Misty, Ash and Gary all took out a Poke Ball as they threw it onto the field, out coming from Misty's Poke Ball was a Slowbro and Golduck, meanwhile Ash threw out Beedrill and Gary with his Eevee.

"Slowbro and Golduck vs Beedrill and Eevee, begin!"

"Alright, let's start things off with a Psychic!" Misty commanded.

Both Golduck and Slowbro glowed in a blue outline as both Beedrill and Eevee got threw back by an unseen force, they crash into the wall on the field as Beedrill suffered the most damage in just one hit.

"Damn it, Beedrill, use Poison Jab on Slowbro!" Ash ordered.

"Eevee, use Swift!" Gary added.

The Poison Bee Pokemon charged at Slowbro at high speed, meanwhile behind it was a Swift attack from Eevee flying towards Golduck.

"Too predictable, Slowbro, Protect!" Misty yelled.

"Bro!" Slowbro yelled, creating a protective barrier around Golduck and itself. Rebounding Beedrill back, and knocking away the Swift attack from Eevee.

"Now, Golduck, use Hydro Pump!" She added.

"Duck!" Golduck immediately fired a strong jet of water towards it's enemies as Beedrill was the first one to get hit, banging into Eevee.

Both Pokémon crashed into a wall as Beedrill laid unconscious, whist Eevee was mortally wounded.

"Beedrill is unable to battle!" The referee declared.

"Beedrill, you did great so get a good long rest." Ash recalled his Pokémon.

"Eevee, you're coming back for a rest too." Gary recalled.

They both looked at Misty who's was grinning widely at them from the opposite side, they knew her Pokémon's are strong but not this strong. And they still have yet to take a hit more or less.

"Nidorino, I choose you!" Ash called.

"Pidgeotto, go!" Gary yelled.

Both the Poison Pin and Bird Pokémon appeared on the fields of battle as Misty was surprised by Ash's choice, he certainly looked like he knew that Slowbro was a part psychic but he still threw in a second poison type.


"Slowbro and Golduck vs Nidorino and Pidgeotto, begin!"

"Nidorino, use Double Kick on Golduck!" Ash ordered.

Nidorino leaped into the air before falling upon Golduck with legs raised.

"Slowbro, Protect!" Misty ordered swiftly.

"Not a chance, Pidgeotto, use Whirlwind!" Gary smirked.

Before Slowbro could lay down it's protective barrier, Pidgeotto flapped it's wings forcing the Hermit Crab Pokémon backwards.

Without any protection, Nidorino kicked Golduck twice and it seems the damage was more than initial. Making Ash think that Misty's Golduck is a male.

"So, you're Golduck's a male huh?" Ash commented as Misty nodded.

"Perfect, Pidgeotto, use Attract!" Gary yelled.

Misty was visibly shocked at this command, Pidgeotto winked it's eyes as a swarm of pink hearts flew towards Slowbro and Golduck. Making the Duck Pokémon fall in love, whist Slowbro was still Oblivious to everything.

"Slowbro, use Psychic!" Misty ordered.

Slowbro raised both hands as Nidorino got outlined in a blue light, being unable to do anything. Nidorino was hurled into a wall.

"Pidgeotto, use Steel Wing on Slowbro!" Gary ordered.

"Nidorino, use Horn Drill on Golduck!" Ash yelled.

Pidgeotto swooped down upon Slowbro, whist from the shaking rubbles came Nidorino. Both Pokémon swiftly executed their attacks before Misty could have a chance to retaliate, causing Slowbro to slide backwards as Golduck simply collapsed on the ground.

"Golduck is unable to battle!" The referee declared.

Misty recalled Golduck, before glancing at the two boys in front of her.

"I must say, you're not better then you look." Misty commented.

"Now, Cloyster, it's your turn!" Misty yelled.

Coming out from her third Poke Ball was the Bivalve Pokémon as it stood grinning at them.


"Slowbro and Cloyster vs Nidorino and Pidgeotto, begin!"

When the battle started, Misty was the first to call off an attack.

"Cloyster, Shell Smash!" She yelled.

Cloyster glowed in a white light as it shattered into dust, the water and ice type soon glowed in both a red and light increasing and decreasing it's stats.

"Nidorino, use Horn Attack on Cloyster!"

"Pidgeotto, use Steel Wing on Slowbro!"

Before both Pokémon could have a chance, Misty looked at Closyter who's grin cracked into a smirk.

"Icicle Spear!" She yelled.

Cloyster fired multiple spears into the air as they rain down upon Nidorino and Pidgeotto, despite the many spears. Pidgeottot managed to dodge them all as Nidorino took shelter behind a huge rock.

"Not bad, but I think it's all over." Misty smirked.

Without getting a single clue of what she meant, both Pidgeotto and Nidorino was hurled at each other before crashing into a wall. Pidgeotto laid on the ground knocked out, so did Nidorino.

"Both Nidorino and Pidgeotto are unable to battle!"

Ash's heart was pounding, Misty still has five of hers but both Gary and himself has only two and one left respectively. He looked as Gary called back out his Eevee, whist Ash took out a Net Ball.

"This is my first battle with you, but. Golisopod, I choose you!" Ash called.

Golisopod took it's spot on the battlefield in front of Ash, shocking both Gary and Misty with it's presence.


"Slowbro and Cloyster vs Golisopod and Eevee, being!"

"Um, Golisopod, what moves do you have other then Razor Shell?" Ash questioned.

Gary face palmed himself as Misty was laughing on the inside, but been asked that question. Golisopod rushed at Slowbro, smacking the Hermit Crab Pokémon into a wall and knocking it out in just one hit.

Both Gary and Misty hang their mouths wide open at the display of strength, even Ash was shocked at it's strength in battle.

"Did Lillie seriously give me a Pokémon of this strength?" Ash thought.

"Slowbro is unable to battle!" The referee declared.

Misty recalled Slowbro as she threw her forth Poke Ball to summon a Samurott.


"Samurott and Cloyster vs Golisopod and Eevee, begin!"

"You caught me off guard with that last attack, but now. Cloyster, Icicle spear and Samurott, Razor Shell!" Misty yelled.

Cloyster shot multiple spears into the air, while Samurott charged at it's enemies with shell extending out a blade made of water.

"Eevee, use dig!" Gary ordered.

The Evolution Pokémon immediately dug a hole to avoid being hit, meanwhile without a single command. Golisopod created it's own Razor Shell attack, clashing it's own blade with Samurott. All while guarding itself with it's hand above it's head where the spears were raining down.

"What kind of Pokemon is that?" Misty thought.

She watched as Golisopod shattered the spears on it's hand before pushing Samurott back to Cloyster's side, meanwhile from the ground beneath Cloyster. Came Eevee who punched it in the face, knocking it back.

"I don't know what Pokemon that is, Ash. But it's strong." Gary commented.

"Let's keep it up and win this!" Ash yelled.

"Golisopod, do you think you know Aqua Jet or Night Slash?" Ash questioned.

Golisopod simply nodded as Ash wave his hand.

"Then hit Cloyster with everything you got!" Ash ordered.

Golispod roared out loud causing a veil of water to surround it, and with what seems to be amazing speed. The Hard Scale Pokémon crashed into Cloyster, knocking it into Samurott as Gary waved his hand.

"Now, Eevee, use Hyper Voice!" Gary ordered.

"VEEEE!" Eevee yelled loudly with all it's might, pushing Samurott and Cloyster further into a wall. Causing them to lay unconscious.

"Both Samurott and Cloyster are unable to battle!" The referee declared.

Misty was sweating with nervousness at the display that they were showing, she took out another two Poke Ball before throwing them into the air.

"Clawitzer and Starmie, it's your turn!" She called.

A shrimp-like Pokémon carrying a huge cannon-like pincer appeared alongside a purple starfish-like Pokémon, they both stood at ready as the referee raised his flags.


"Clawitzer and Starmie vs Golisopod and Eevee, begin!"

"Clawitzer, Dark Pulse. Starmie, Hydro Pump!" Misty ordered.

The Howitzer and Mysterious Pokémon launched a beam of darkness and high jet of water respectively, and being unable to dodge the attacks. Eevee was blast all the way to the wall unconscious, whist Golisopod guarded itself against Starmie's attack with it's hand.

"Eevee is unable to battle!" The referee declared.

"Eevee, great job so return." Gary recalled, as he pulled out his last Poke Ball.

"Alright, Wartortle, go!"

Out came the Turtle Pokemon beside Golisopod as it stood ready for battle.


"Clawitzer and Starmie vs Golisopod ad Wartortle, begin!"

"Rapid Spin!" Both Gary and Misty commanded.

Both Wartortle and Starmie spun at each other as they got repelled by the force of the recoil of collision.

"Golisopod, back Wartortle up with Razor Shell!" Ash ordered.

Golisopod's right hand extended out a blue blade before charging at Starmie.

"Alright, Starmie, use Psychic!" Misty yelled.

The crystal on Starmie's body started to glow as did Golisopod, but despite all of it's effort. Golisopod broke free from the binding of the Psychic attack, before smacking Starmie back all the way to the wall where it's crystal was blinking.

"Starmie is unable to battle!" The referee declared.

Misty recalled Starmie as she took out her last Poke Ball.

"Gyarados, it's your turn to shine!" She yelled.

Out came a large serpentine Pokemon as it roared loudly while glowing in a creepy aura, causing both of their attacks to drop.

"Intimidate, huh?" Gary guessed.

"This isn't going to be easy." Ash added.


"The final battle! Clawitzer and Gyarados vs Golisopod and Wartortle, begin!" He announced.

"Clawitzer and Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!" Misty ordered.

"Wartortle, you use your own Hydro Pump!" Gary yelled.

All three water types launched a high projectile of water, the attacks clashed though Wartortle's Hydro Pump was pushed back since it was two against one.

"Golisopod, what other attacks do you have?" Ash asked.

Golisopod's left hand started to erupt in water as it leaped into the air, since both Clawitzer and Gyarados were trying to pin Wartortle down. Golisopod smashed Clawitzer onto the ground with yet another unknown attack to Ash, Gyarados swung it's tail as Golisopod got hit back in front of Ash.

"So, Golisopod has Aqua Jet and Razor Shell. I really need to ask Lillie on what the other attacks are." Ash thought to himself.

"Alright, Clawitzer, use Dark Pulse. Gyarados, use Hyper Beam!"

Both the Howitzer and Atrocious Pokémon started to charge their attacks as Ash and Gary nodded at each other.

"Let's end this, Golisopod, use Aqua Jet. Bring Wartortle with you!" Ash ordered.

With it's large hand, Golisopod scooped Wartortle from the ground before surrounding itself in a large veil of water.

"Wartortle, use Focus Punch!" Gary yelled.

From within Golisopod's Aqua Jet came a shine of light, without much reaction timing. Golisopod rammed into the two, as they flew all the way into the wall completely knocked out. Shocking Misty at the display.

"Both Clawitzer and Gyarados are unable to battle, Golisopod and Wartortle wins! Since Gym Leader Misty has lost all six of her Pokemon, the winners are Challenger Ash and Gary of Pallet Town!" He announced loudly.

Misty recalled both her Pokemon with a word of thank before lifting her head to meet the eyes of her challengers from Pallet Town.

"I must say, that performance from you weren't all that bad." She commented.

Ash and Gary fist bumped each other while giving one another a huge smile, as they look back to the front. Misty held out two blue coloured badges in the palms of her hand.

"Here, as proof of your victory over the Cerulean Gym. The Cascade Badge." She told them.

They each took one from her hand before bowing their heads.

"Thank you for the badge." They thanked.

"It's fine and you're welcome, you don't have to bow your heads. I'm no one special." She responded with a nervous laugh.


The boys soon left the gym as Gary turned to Ash.

"I guess this time's victory is thanks to you and that mysterious Pokemon of yours." Gary told him, this caused Ash to shook his head.

"It wasn't thanks to me, but Golisopod. It was Golisopod who put in most of the effort in fighting not me." Ash retorted as Gary laughed out loud.

"That sounds just like you, got any plans?" Gary questioned.

Ash was in thoughts for a moment before nodding his head.

"Yeah, I was planning to head to Vermillion City to check something. What about you?" Ash answered.

"I was planning to train near Cerulean City for awhile, so that the next time. I won't be losing to anyone that easily!" Gary voice with confidence as Ash smiled at him.

"Don't cut yourself short and good luck. Then I'll be heading to Rock Tunnel first." Ash waved.

Before Ash could step out of the gates of Cerulean City, Gary held onto his shoulder catching his attention entirely.

"Bring this along with you, you're going to need it if you're going through Rock Tunnel." Ash looked at his hand to see a flashlight as he nodded.

"Thanks, and take this in return. You're going to need it for your training." Ash responded in kind.

Gary took the object off his hands as he looked up and down from the object to Ash's face.

"Are you sure? This is like, a week or two rations of medicine!" Gary yelled as Ash laughed out loud.

"If you're going to train, you're certainly going to need a medicine in case you get hurt." He retorted.

"If you'll excuse me, Gary. I'll be leaving first." Ash waved.

The two boys immediately walked their separate ways, as one was heading for the mountains while the other was heading towards the field. And leaving each other out of sight with their own goodbyes.
