I am overlooking the second chapter of this fanfiction. I don't think I will be changing to much. Man it's been along time since I did this. Happy New Year everyone!

Gary threw the poke ball, and Squirtle appeared, ready to battle.
When Ash saw this, he didn't say anything. He would never let Gary know that he had chosen the pokemon that he wanted. To hide his lack of a response, he sent out Clefairy.
When Clefairy appeared, Gary started laughing, "You got that pokemon! What did you do, beg for a starter pokemon!"
With that said, Clefairy glared at Gary.
"This pokemon is stronger than yours! Let's start this battle," that's when Ash realized that he didn't know clefairys moves at all. How was he supposed to find out? He looked at Clefairy, hoping that she would give him a hint.
Gary seemed to guess what Ash's problem was, since all he did was laugh harder. "I told you that I would be the best pokemon trainer ever. Now Squirtle, use tackle."
Squirtle charged forward, and hit clefairy, knocking her back a couple of feet, right into Ash, knocking him down.
Gary then returned Squirtle. "Challenge me when you know how to fight." His laughter echoed in the air, as Gary walked off.
Seething with anger, Ash almost set off after Gary, only to realize that he would make his situation worse, since nothing has changed in the last couple of seconds.
He looked over, and saw Clefairy sitting in defeat. "Hey, it could have been…" he then realized that it couldn't have been any worse. He picked Clefairy up, "let's go practice battling."
With that, they walked continued down the road. He found a clearing, and set his back pack on the ground.
He turned to Clefairy, and tried to figure what Clefairys moves could possibly be.
Wait, what was that noise. With that, he pulled something out of his pocket. Looking it over, he saw that it was the pokedex that Professor Oak had given him, and it was beeping.
He opened the little book. It then started to chime, "I am Dexter, the encyclopedia of pokemon. I can be used to find out information on all known pokemon. Just point the black circle on the top of the pokedex at the pokemon that you want information on, push the white button, and I can give you some information, along with an attack list." With that Ash pointed the pokedex at Clefairy. "Clefairy, the fairy pokemon, Clefairy is rare and found only in certain areas. They are adored for their cute looks, adorable nature, and playfulness. Because of this, it is in high demand as a pet. Clefairy knows pound, sing, doubleslap, and minimize."
Ash turned to clefairy, "lets practice using pound on those trees."
With that, Clefairy leapt and struck a tree with its fists. After two hits, a bird pokemon fell out of the tree.
Ash found from the pokedex that the pokemon was a pidgey.
Now that Ash knew Clefairys moves, this was the perfect time to try a battle, "ok clefairy, use doubleslap!"
Clefairy charged at pidgey, ready to use its attack.
Pidgey saw her coming, and kicked up a cloud of sand. When the sand was cleared, pidgey was gone.
Frustrated, Ash decided to try for another pidgey, and told Clefairy to use pound on another tree.
This time, a rattata fell out of the tree. Seeing that this the perfect time to practice battling, Ash ordered clefairy to use fury swipes.
Clefairy leapt at the rattata, and unleashed its fury.
After taking the hit, the rattata took off. Before he could take off after it, Ash heard his pokedex beeping. He pulled it out, and opened it up.
"Rattata defeated," chimed the pokedex.
Ash smiled to himself, he had won his first battle. Now that he knew his Pokémon's moves, it was time to find Gary, and kick his butt, like he did that rattata.
However, before he could continue, Clefairy ran off. Seeing his pokemon run off into the forest that surrounded the path that he was following, Ash took off after her.
As he chased Clefairy, he hoped that he wouldn't lose track of his way back to that path. That path would take him straight to the next town.
He caught up to clefairy as it defeated another pidgey.
"Come one Clefairy, it's time to beat Garys Squirtle, not battle more pokemon."
Instead of listening to Ash, Clefairy hit another bird pokemon. However, this one looked different from the pidgeys that he had been seeing.
Instead of flying off, the pokemon dive bombed Clefairy. Not expecting this, Clefairy took the full attack. The bird pokemon continued to dive bomb Clefairy.
Since Clefairy started trying to jump out of the way, they weren't direct hits any more, but Ash saw that Clefairy was getting tired. He ran to Clefairy, and hit the tiny bird pokemon with his back pack, taking it out in one hit.
Man, what did mom pack in there, he wondered to himself.
He turned to clefairy, "Clefairy, are you ok?"
Clefairy looked up at him, and then nodded.
Before anything else could be said, the bird pokemon, which had been almost completely forgotten, started to cry out.
Wondering what was happening, Ash took out his pokedex. "Spearow the tiny bird Pokemon, Spearow has a very loud cry that can be heard over half a mile away. Its high, keening cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger," was the response that he got.
Before anything else could happen, the cry was echoed as other Spearows responded to the one on the ground. Thinking quickly, Ash started running away from the Spearow, heading in the direction that he thought was the way back to the path to the next town.
Behind him, he heard the flapping of many wings flapping.
Deciding not to risk of looking back, Ash kept running.
After running for a while, Ash was stopped by a river that was directly in front of him. He didn't remember crossing any, which meant that he took a wrong turn somewhere!
Ash turned around, ready to run in another direction.
However, as soon as he turned, he spotted the huge flock of sparrows behind him. He spotted a battered looking Spearow, which looked to be leading all the other Spearows.
Not wanting to go up against all of those beaks and claws, Ash jumped in the river behind him.
With Clefairy still in his arms, the water swept him away; leaving him far behind, hoping this would take him back to where he needed to be.
Out of no were, he felt a tug on his jacket. Before he could understand what was happening, he was jerked right out of the water.
He landed with a thud on the grass. Hearing a gasp, Ash looked up to see a red haired girl looking at him.
"Oh my, are you ok," she gasped, looking very concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Ash replied, as he sat up.
Looking furious, the red head came over, and pushed him onto his back, "not you, I'm talking about you Clefairy! The poor thing looks exhausted!"
With that, Ash realized that he had been sitting on Clefairy. He looked over at the poor pokemon. Clefairy looked exhausted.
He started to explain to Misty about what had happened.
However, before he could get a word out, the red head turned to him again, "how could you have let this happen? Instead of over battling, you should have visited a pokemon center before your pokemon got to..."
Hearing this Ash remembered what he had learned about a pokemon center, it was a place that healed tired pokemon. With this realized, he cut the girl off, "a pokemon center! Where is it, which way?"
Looking mad that she was interrupted, the girl pointed to a path that leads away from them. "Take this path; it will lead you to Viridian City, look for the building with a red roof. Now, I'm not done with you…"
While Misty was lecturing Ash, a bunch of Spearows appeared above the trees behind the girls head. While the girl didn't see them, Ash did, and knew it wouldn't be too long before they spotted him. While the girl continued to rant, Ash picked Clefairy up, and started to edge away.
With that, he bumped into a something, knocking it over. Ash turned around, and saw that it was a bike.
When the bike was knocked over, the girl noticed that Ash wasn't listening to her. Before she could say anything else, he picked up her bike, placed Clefairy in the basket, and rode off. "Hey, get back here with my bike," she yelled after him.
Hearing her cry, Ash yelled back, "don't worry, I'll return it, someday!"
He continued down the path, looking down on clefairy, Ash started to talk to her, "don't worry Clefairy, I'll protect you from the Spearows!"
However, as he was looking at his pokemon, and not the road in front of him, Ash swerved right into a tree. The front of the bike was folded in, and clefairy went flying.
Ash ran over to Clefairy, "sorry about that!"
He looked right in front of him, and saw the Spearows just flying there. None of them moved, they seemed to be waiting to the battered Spearows orders.
This gave Ash an idea, he turned to clefairy, "stay here, I have a plan!"
With that, he stepped forward, taking out a pokeball, if he could catch that weakened Spearow, and the others should leave, since they wouldn't have a leader any more.
He aimed in his mind, and threw the pokeball. However, the Spearow flew up ward, and was missed by the pokeball.
The Spearow gave out a cry, and the group started to fly towards him, beaks pointed straight at him.
Seeing that this might be his last moments, Ash decided to return Clefairy to her pokeball, to keep her safe from what was coming.
Turning around, he saw that Clefairy was gone. Glad that Clefairy got to safety, he waited for the end.
Out of nowhere, there was a flash of light.
Ash turned around, and a pokeball hit him on the side of the head knocking him onto his butt.
The pokeball rocked in his hands three times, and then was still.
Right after that, Clefairy fell on his chest.
He opened his eyes, and saw that all of the Spearows had stopped in mid flight, and looked very confused.
Clefairy turned to Ash, and started to point at the pokeball.
He understood that Clefairy was saying that she had picked up the pokeball, and had captured the Spearow for him.
He picked up the pokeball, and let Spearow out.
"Spearow, tell the others to dispense," Ash ordered his new pokemon.
At first, it looked like Spearow was going to disobey him. However, it turned to the other Spearows, and started squawking. The other Spearows flew off.
Ash then returned the Spearow to his pokeball. While he was listening to him, he didn't want to risk anything.
He then picked Clefairy up, "we did it Clefairy! We made it!"
Out of nowhere, there was a flash of gold light, and a giant golden bird pokemon flew over some trees, and right past a rainbow.
Wondering what pokemon that was, Ash pulled out his pokedex, "there is no data, there are still pokemon yet to be identified," it chimed back at him.
Both Ash and Clefairy looked at each other, they had found a new pokemon, and they hadn't even seen their first town yet, who knew where this journey would take them.
They shared a smile, before clefairy fainted.
Worried about his pokemon, Ash returned Clefairy to her pokeball, where he hoped that she could relax comfortable, while he ran to the pokemon center.
Is it bad when you really like what you write? I reread this, and really liked how it came out, I just hope that others like it as much as I did!
I used the same line of the pokedex that the TV show used. I had to change some things, since Clefairy can't use electric attacks, and now Ash has a pokemon that he never caught before, unless you count that comic, where he caught that Fearow. Since he has a Spearow, should he even get a pidgeotto?
I want to point out that at this point in the story there are only 151 pokemon. The others can, and will show up, but no one will know what they are.
I know that we don't find out what pokemon Gary starts out with for a long time, but what is the fun of that?
I have many different things planned for this, but if any one has any suggestions, I'll take 'em.
