To make things easier for me...
"Let's go!" Human speech (Including Zoey as human cause I am that lazy)
'Let's go!' Thoughts (Pokemon and Human)
"Let's go!" Pokespeech
'Let's go!' Telepathy (He's catching some Pyschic Pokemon so... There will be Telepathy)
PLEASE READ! -Quick Update on story line-
It has come to my attention, that Wallace was NOT the Sinnoh Top coordinator, rather the Contest Master of Hoenn, I am gonna go back to chapter 1 and change that along with this where he mentions Wallace. Again, I am sorry to have misinformed you.
Also, as I progress the chapters may get longer due to the fact I don't like short stories, they will get from 4000-7000+ per chapter.
"Where are her manners?" He mumbled walking in. "Ah, um... I never caught your name, I'm Ash Ketchum."
"Misty Waterflower. Anyway I wanted to talk about Zoey, I didn't see her, and why could she use a Pokemon move or whatever that is." He paled visibly.
Ash sighed, "I really can't tell you, I wish I could, but Zoey is Zoey and she's my sister, she and I decided not to talk about it. Is that okay?"
"Fine... but I am not leaving until I know!"
"Too bad, we are heading to Pewter City for their Gym Battle, I am hoping to use Feebas in it, maybe she'll evolve into Milotic!"
Misty looked at him strangely, "How can you tell it's a girl?"
Ash forgot he could understand Pokemon and that's not exactly normal. "I know because I've been an assistant to Professor Oak for four years. I can tell a lot of things from Pokemon behavior. That and I spent time in his ranch tending to the Pokemon." He smiled.
She nodded. "Okay, how's the Pokemon you found?"
"Unconscious, don't worry, it's just over charged, Electric types that hold more electricity than they should get very ill." He explained. "Officer Joy wanted me to watch over the poor guy, I really need to, and if it's a Pokemon I'll go to any length to help it. Pokemon to me, are more than just Contests and Battles, it's that they are my friends."
Misty smiled at the boy, "Okay, but I have one final question." Ash looked at her, "You say a Pokemon, Milotic, is why you are a trainer."
"Coordinator"
"Yeah, yeah, but if you weren't a Trainer or Coordinator, what would you be?"
"Easy, I'd have been a researcher or an assistant to Professor Oak" He smiled a giant goofy grin.
Misty looked confused, "Okay, I understand... So... Why a Coordinator?"
Ash sighed, "You really haven't heard anything beyond of a Trainer have you?"
"My goal is to be a Water Pokemon Master! And you are planning to?" Misty asked him.
"Simple, Top Coordinator, oh and maybe a Pokemon Master maybe but no way am I going to give up on Top Coordinator." He smirked.
"A Coordinator practices beauty and grace instead of simple things like using Thunderbolt, they make it much better and they show off a Pokemon. The first round is called an Appeal, they show off their Pokemon that puts them in the rankings, in a contest it's top 8, however, in the Grand Festival, after you gain 5 ribbons, the contest equivalence of 8 gym badges, you partake to become Top Coordinator, equal to Champion. The grand Festival has 16, one more round than a regular contest. But there are hundreds with the 5 ribbons, only a few make it.
"However grace is one thing, the next is the battle! See after the appeal, you have to do battle, sometimes one on one or double battles. You have five minutes to take out as many points from your opponent that can be done in several ways. Dodging, Landing a hit, or showing off a move. You win instantly if the opponent can't battle." Ash explained.
"After that, beat five contests, compete in the Grand Festival, and hope to the stars that you won!"
"Amazing, so you would be a researcher if you became neither Champion nor Top Coordinator?" Ash nodded before adding.
"Yeah? There are lots of Pokemon out there, different regions with lots of types, over 700 of them out there and with 17 different types, well... It's late, I'm turning in for now." He stood up from the bed.
"Okay As-"
An explosion resonated outside. They ran out to reveal a man with purple hair, and another female with long red hair along with a cat-like Pokemon.
"Prepare for trouble!
And make it a double,
to protect the world from devastation,
to unite the people within our nation,
To denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie!
James!
Team Rocket, blasts of at the speed of light
Surrender now or prepare to fight!
Meowth that's right!"
"It talked." Misty said surprised.
"It did? I didn't realize..." Ash said unable to tell between a normal Pokemon to one that can talk. "Oh no!"
"Ash here is your Pokeball and Pikachu is up, hurry you must get out of here." Nurse Joy said to him handing the lone Pokeball.
Ash remained still, looking at it he knew what to do. "Grr, no way am I letting thieves touch any Pokemon! Feebas let's go!" He tossed the Pokeball up, a white beam hit the ground taking form of a fish. "Feebas, hi there, sorry about earlier, but they are about to steal Pokeballs I need you to use tackle!"
"What?! Nobody steals Pokeballs from us!" Feebas yelled. "Take this you freak!"
The fish ran up to them tackling hard.
"YOOOWWWWW! That is a tough tackle! Must be one heck of a Pokemon!" Meowth yelled. "How about a scratch!" His nails grew and became white as snow.
"Don't you dare you wimp!" Pikachu yelled.
"Pikachu use thunder!" Ash yelled as the Pikachu did as such. However as Meowth took the hit and the dust faded Team Rocket was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey, thanks for saving me back there." Pikachu said, "I'd love to follow you, I owe you for saving me back there."
Ash nodded before it dawned on him about the missing duo. "Pikachu, Feebas let's go!" He recalled Feebas for faster mobility, he ran to a room filled with Pokemon balls and eggs. "Nurse Joy!"
The nurse turned to see him, "Oh hello, I'm sorry but I must send them to Pewter City," The amount of Pokeballs here are far too much. "I've already alerted my sister there but it takes much too long for the full one, ten minutes, and this is just to save them. Hurry and get out it's not safe I told you already!"
"No, I'm really sorry, but I am never going to abandon a Pokemon, even if it's not mine. Pikachu let's help out and get as many Pokeballs out of here as we can." The mouse Pokemon nodded.
They raced until the lights went out, "Oh no the power!"
Nurse Joy giggled, "No worries, we have Pika-Power!" Dozens of Pikachu ran out to a generator and used a weak thunderbolt on it.
"wow..." Ash said, but the explosion revealed Team Rocket, "Oh no! Pikachu thunder again!" The pokemon complied to do so.
"No use, it's not strong enough." He grunted.
"Then there is nothing left, Nurse Joy, can we borrow your Pikachu for a moment?" She nodded. "Alright! Hey Pikachu's! All use thunder onto mine then my Pikachu use thunderbolt right onto them!"
"Oh no you don't! Ekans use Poison sting!" Purple needles shot out of her pokemon.
"Koffing smoke screen!"
"Pikachus go!" Ash yelled hoping for the attack to land.
"Staryu use water gun!" Misty yelled from behind them. The water and electric amplified attacks shocked the duo dreadfully.
Ash smiled as he heard the Rockets rant about their defeat.
The following Morning...
Zoey got up and nudged Ash's sleeping form, "Ash get up, time to train."
"Not now Zoey... too tired, fought yesterday..." he mumble before getting a scratch. "YOW! Zoey what the hell!"
She snickered, "You fought without me! You are so mean!"
He sighed, "Yeah I'm sorry Zoey." He looked outside, "I'm gonna head to the Pokemart for a while, want to come?"
Zoey shrugged, "I don't know..." she changed back into Leaf causing Ash to blush.
"I am gonna kill you Zoey!" He chased her in the room for a moment before she ended up tripping, "Change back." He growled.
"Oh fine fine! Gosh Ash I'd swear you had a crush on your neighbor." Zoey said going back to her sisterly form.
As they walked out of their room, a yellow, small, furry object crashed into Ash. "Oh, hey Pikachu," He held out a Pokeball, "You wanted to tag along right?" Pikachu nodded, but he wouldn't go inside the Pokeball. "Oh I get it, you don't like these do you?"
The rodent smiled, "Nope!"
"Alright, I'll catch you and let you out in a split second okay?" The mouse nodded before going into and out of the Pokeball. "I guess you should meet my friend, Zoey, let's go outside for a bit, then to the Pokemart."
She nodded, "Alright, fine."
They went to the back of the Pokemon Center before Zoey flipped in the air to be her regular Zorua form. "Pikachu, meet Zoey, and Zoey, this is the Pikachu that got injured yesterday."
"Amazing... I never knew a Pokemon like you existed." Pikachu said.
"Zoey is a Zorua, she's from the Unova Region, or at least the Pokemon Zorua. Zoey was born here from an egg." he explained. "My goal is to be a Top Coordinator, and along the way, maybe I'll be a Pokemon Master."
Pikachu perked at the Top Coordinator, wanting to know more. "Top Coordinator?"
Ash nodded and scratched his head, "A top coordinator does a lot of trick with their Pokemon to show off it's strength, beauty, and abilities. I have three Pokemon including you and Zoey. The other is a Feebas, I hope one day she'll evolve to a Milotic... Kinda like my star Pokemon for Coordinator bits, I was inspired by a Milotic so... I want to be show how much I respect his Milotic and himself by besting him. And Pikachu, while I try to be a Pokemon Master, I'd like it if you'd join me by helping me there maybe? I doubt you'd be that interested in showing off and more into battling huh?"
"Got that right."
"Alright then it's settled, I'm surprised you take me knowing Pokespeech so easily." Pikachu gaped. "Oh... you just assumed... well know you know now, ONWARDS! To the Pokemart!" Right as he did, a rainbow colored pokemon flew overhead. "Wow what Pokemon is that?" But it was much too far; all that he found was a feather of the same color orientation.
They walked over to the market quickly, he glanced at the cashier, "Excuse me, there wouldn't happen to be any Pokeball capsules and seals would there?"
Looking up she checked her clipboard holding the stock. The girl looked in the P and S sections. "There are six Pokeball capsules and about... three seals for bubble, lightning, and swift releases, two for fire, grass, also water different from the bubbles and one used for dark types. They are in the same aisle for contests, they are relatively new since Kanto is planning to have Pokemon Contests in the future." she said, "You a Coordinator or something like that?"
"I plan to challenge Top Coordinator Wallace from Sinnoh when I am ready. For now, I'll just be practicing and try to be a Pokemon Master, nothing much really. I don't plan to be one really, I just want to be a Top Coordinator." Ash told her. "Thanks!"
He smiled as he began to check the capsules, "Awesome perfect condition." I said taking the six capsules into the basket. "Now for the seals... maybe just one of each." I nodded deciding to take it. "Oh, seven seals but six capsules... I'll take the water instead of the bubble for now." I said taking them to the check out.
"I see someone's serious about being a Coordinator," The girl smile scanning them. (I have NO clue at all how much this stuff would cost, if you have a better accurate one, please tell me!) "That'll be... 2350 Pokedollars." Ash nodded handing the several bills over. "Thanks, name's Angel, I'm a Pokemon Stylist."
Ash payed her a confused look, "A Pokemon Stylist?"
"Yep! I like to travel, I stick from place to place looking for inspiration, come here check this out!" she grabbed his hand and dragged him to a room next to the cashier, "Before I forget," she tossed a Pokeball out, "Hey there, Kirlia, can you watch the store for a while?" A white and green pokemon that appeared to have a skirt from the white skin, while the green half made up the Pokemon's hair and legs. The eyes were orange and had two red disk like objects at the head.
Ash tried to check it, but Krystal shook her head, "You can't, this is a Pokemon from Hoenn region and Sinnoh, every now and then you get lucky and get either an egg or a Pokemon from another region but me, I caught the gal over in Sinnoh while I worked there. Anyways, I got like, the PERFECT, thing for you being a Coordinator and all."
Angel pulled out a black and red clothing with yellow marks, black gloves with white tips. "I based it off of Garchomp, a really rare but immensely strong Pokemon from Sinnoh." she smiled, "Hey, I know it's kind of strange, but if I ever see you again, mind if I tag along? I have to finish work here and if we meet again, I'd like to hang out, at least for a while before I'd have to go again if I can't find anything to make."
"Hey thanks, and I'd love to talk again! But I've really got to head on to Pewter City, do you know anything about it?" He asked his now new Pokemon Stylist who apparently does costumes for both coordinator and Pokemon. It's nice that he bumped into her.
She put her hand on her chin giving a pondering look. "Ah, I know. Pewter City is a Rock Type gym, the leader is Brock. And... I just happen to know there is a special someone living there, if you happen to bump into girl with pink hair and blue eyes, normally wears a coat. Tell her I said hi and when she asks, tell her you're a Coordinator, you might just find some helpful tips!" Angel smiled and walked out with Ash. "Thanks Kirlia,"
"Kirlia!" The pokemon smiled before being returned to her Pokeball.
Ash smiled before running out the door with his backpack filled with the new Pokeball Capsules and unopened packs of seals.
He went to the Pokemon Center and made a phone call. "Hey Professor, sorry I didn't call yesterday, I was busy."
"It's not a problem, but what was the trouble that made you late?"
"A Pikachu was injured so, I carried it over to the Pokemon Center, Officer Jenny stopped me because a high level of thieves in the area, then those thieves actually showed up right after Pikachu was fully healed, and after that, we sent them flying. Oh I also caught him cause he really trusted me, oh and I also got a Feebas too."
"Yes! Ah, you see Gary bet me a million Pokedollars you couldn't catch a single one by the time you got there." In my mind, I was yelling "why that backstabbing no good devious excuse of an old friend!"
But then I smiled, "Looks like he'll need to pay up!" I laughed. "Okay, is that all?"
"Yes Ash. I've got to get back to my breakfast now." The Professor signed off.
Next he dialed up his mom. "Hi mom! I'm in the Viridian City Pokemon Center, a little run in but I'm fine, or rather, Pikachu is fine!" the mouse pokemon hopped onto his trainer's shoulder.
"Pikapi!" Or at least what Delia heard. To ash, it was "Hello!" She giggled at the Pokemon.
"My my Ash, that's a very cute Pokemon, I can't wait to see him when you come back!" His mother beamed at the adorable Pokemon. "Are you planning to use him in a Contest?"
Ash thought it over, "Maybe for an Appeal, I think Pikachu might get too involved in the battle and forget to be well attractive. He's more of a fighter than a lover." He chuckled as did his mom. "I've got to go mom!"
"Bye dear! Call me whenever I'm always on the line for you." she signed off.
After that, Ash, Zoey, an Pikachu left to the Viridian Forest that is, until...
"HOLD IT!" Misty yelled panting as she caught up, "I'd like to travel with you. I'm not leaving until I know your secrets!" she glared at him half-heartedly.
"Okay... oh that reminds me, I have to put the seals on the capsules!" He put one on each of them, luckily the seals are reusable. (Is this true? IDK but Dawn never went back to get new ones so I am just assuming.)"There we go." He put Feebas's Pokeball into the Capsule. "Awesome all right I'm ready."
As they walked into the forest, Misty let out a scream. "Eeeekkk!"
Startled, Ash came to her side, "something wrong!?" He looked to see Misty shaking like a leaf as she pointed at a green worm like Pokemon. "Uh... it's just a Caterpie... and I think I wouldn't mind catching the little guy." He pulled out Feebas's Pokeball. Ash snickered, Misty's gonna be surprised from the water... "Feebas let's go!"
Two spirals of water erupted from the Seal, Feebas appeared from it and rode it to the top.
"Ready!" she cheered happily knowing how beautiful the entrance was. "And I thought I'd be used only to fight."
"Feebas use Tackle!" The Fish took off in a quick pace and landed a hit on the Bug Type, the water from her entrance also splashed the Pokemon a bit causing it to be slightly weakened. Caterpie returned to its feet quickly and launched a Stringshot hoping to slow down the fast water type. "Quick, Feebas dodge to the right and launch a tackle once more!"
The fish rammed into the bug causing it to lose balance. "Pokeball go!" He let out a unused Pokeball. The ball rocked once,
twice...
a third time...
And a successful ping. He jumped, "Alright! We got a Caterpie, oh Feebas you were awesome!" The fish smiled. "Alright, return." he smiled returning her. "You were great... and beautiful..." He said to the Pokeball containing her.
"N-nice j-job Ash... just... keep that thing away from me! I hate bugs!" Misty yelled.
"Ah, so that's why you yelled. All right, but when I trained I am not moving if you happen to be there."
"Deal, as long as you don't keep it out unless necessary." She smiled.
Time skip to night (Because I am having him catch a Pokemon now, one he didn't get in the anime ;D)
"Fire's up Misty. Zoey you fine?" Ash asked both companions.
Zoey nodded, "I'll sleep elsewhere, if you know what I mean Ash." He nodded.
"Okay... you guys are the strangest siblings I've ever meet in my life..." she said something else, but it was too quiet to hear, deciding not to push her he let it slide.
However, just as Misty, Zoey, and Pikachu fell asleep. Ash noticed a bright light not coming from his fire. "Pikachu... Pikachu..." He nudged the mouse Pokemon hoping he'd know what's causing it.
"what... it's like... 10 pm or something, I'm tired..." Pikachu said.
"Fine, I'll find out what's causing that light by my own. Me and Feebas can handle it fine." He told his Electric friend. "I hope she's okay battling twice, and at night... hopefully it's near a... Lake yes!" He cheered seeing a lake near the bright light.
"Go away!" The pokemon yelled. He couldn't tell what it was. 'Curse my ability to hear Pokespeech...' "Go away you unbearable human!"
Ash flinched and backed up, "It's okay... I'm not going to hurt you, I just wanted to know what's with the bright light. I was trying to sleep." He said sheepishly. "um... to be honest, what kind of Pokemon are you?"
"Idiotic humans that barely listen to me... they know pokemon say their names when they speak to any human!" The fox grumbled.
He sighed, "Truth be told, I am not an idiot. Second of all, I can't recognize you because I've never seen you before. Third, I can understand Pokespeach, I've been around Pokemon since I was four." He stood proud arms folded. "So there."
The fox gasped, "You know what I am saying?"
"You know what I am saying? I just told you! I understand Pokespeach why repeat it?" The fox stumbled.
"I'm a Vulpix now go away!"
He nodded. "All right... but I think I'll stay here, I don't want to disturb Pikachu. Feebas come on out!" The light, much brighter than the now named Vulpix, though he couldn't figure out why he couldn't recognize a Pokemon even the Professor had... "Feebas, I found a lake, do you want to stay out?"
"Surely!" Feebas said swimming to the bottom to rest.
"Night Feebas, Caterpie you too." He tossed another one, a torrent of leaves flew, he had placed the little guy into a capsule using a leaf seal. "want to stay out?"
"Yay!" The bug dashed onto a tree branch. Ash himself rested at the base of a tree.
The Vulpix looked astonished. "Why are they so happy?! They have to listen to you!"
"No, they don't. I am their friend, I don't command them if they don't want to, I told them they had options. They could have gone back, or they could stay out. I'm gonna turn in for now. Maybe I'll see you in the morning.
Ash closed his eyes letting Nature do its work. The sounds of the forest took him in, the waves crashed calmly and soothingly. Nothing bothered him. It was pure bliss.
Vulpix however felt jealous. 'How can a human, be so calm? He's in nature, moreover near a lake! He has no clue the strength of the resting gyarados in here. I don't even know how the other Pokemon are even there without worry.' she looked at the boy at the other end of the clearing.
'His Pokemon are the happiest I've ever seen! How come my own parents left me, just because I am golden colored and not orange? So what if I am different!?' Vulpix yelled at herself. 'Maybe... this one human can help me. Maybe he won't be like my past trainer...'
The next morning...
Ash stretched only to feel something furry on his lap. He smiled. "Morning Vulpix..."
"Morning..." she said tired. "I decided, I am coming with you and you aren't gonna stop me! Even if I have to follow you to the next city!"
He didn't argue. "Then here's your chance." He held a Pokeball to the Vulpix and smiled once she put a paw on it. He placed it inside a capsule holding a fire seal. "Vulpix Let's go!" He tossed it and once the Pokemon landed, a flower erupted from her landing with the very Pokemon as the center.
Then she jumped and licked Ash in the face, "Oh thank you thank you thank you!"
"Caterpie, Feebas come out!" He called. The caterpillar pokemon emerged from the trees and ripples from the water revealed the brown speckled Feebas. "Hey girl, hows the water?"
"Can you please take a break from traveling? Who knows the next time we'll be at a wonderful lake like this!?" Ash laughed.
"Sorry gal, but next time I promise we'll stay longer if we can." Feebas jumped several times in the water. "Alright, Feebas Return!" He pulled out her Pokeball and returned the Pokemon.
Misty comes in noticing Ash had left. "No good trainer, leaving us like that... oh yeah. ZOEY!"
"Eh!?" The Girl fell from the branch she slept on. "Oh gosh darn it! WHAT THE HELL- oh I never got your name." she laughed a bit.
"Misty Waterflower, where's your brother?"
Zoey snickered, "Knowing Ash? Finding another Pokemon, or getting his butt in trouble before saving the day yet again."
Right on time Ash returned with Pikachu jumping onto his shoulder. Zoey glared, hating how she had to hide herself just to follow Ash around without having to be worried about him.
"Onwards to Pewter City!" Zoey yelled grabbing his arm.
Ash then remembered, "Hey Misty, why do you hate bug types?" It seemed funny to be afraid of a Pokemon like a caterpie, maybe a scizor, but a caterpie?
"They are disgusting!" She yelled.
Ash gasped. "You hurt caterpie's feelings! Say you're sorry!" He demanded. Zoey smirked, whenever Ash gets mad for a friend, stand back and watch the fireworks.
"NO!" Misty bickered back.
Ash threatened with letting Caterpie out. "Fine, be that way. Ca-" Another worm pokemon came out, "Uh.. It's a... Weedle..."
"EEK!" Misty yelled running a long ways away. Ash sighed.
"Pidgeotto!" A bird cried from above swooping over them.
He growled, "Leave that Weedle alone! Pikachu thundershock!" It got the birds attention, but it used aerial ace to strike back. Just as it was about to hit, he ducked out of the way causing the bird to hit and lodge its beak into the tree behind him. "Once more!"
Pikachu released the energy, Ash threw another Pokeball, rocking back and forth... A ping was heard and they cheered "Nice job Pikachu." He smiled at the rodent.
Annoying Team Rocket Motto skip...
"Ekans sick 'em!/Koffing Sludge bomb!" Jessie and James ordered respectively.
Pikachu avoided Ekans, but was hit by the Sludge bomb. Ash quickly recalled Pikachu to prevent any more damage. "Grr... Pidgeotto let's go!"
"They beat him but not me?! Oh that is it they are dead!" Pidegeotto cried.
"Dodge any attack and use Quick Attack!" The bird followed the command to a T.
"Ekans/Koffing, TACKLE!" The villains yelled both landing on the now dazed bird.
Ash recalled his fallen friend. He smiled, "Have a long rest buddy, you earned it. Caterpie battle dance lets go. Caterpie string shot the leaves then send it at them!" the caterpillar hit the leaves perfectly swinging the ball at them. "Use string shot on Koffing, send them all flying by using Koffing as wrecking ball!"
"Nice job, why don't you rest u-" before he could finish, Caterpie used string shot, and like a fountain it poured over himself to reveal a green Pokemon shell with eyes. "Caterpie you decided to be a metapod huh? Nice job."
According to his Pokedex, it is the fastest recorded evolution from caterpie to metapod. "Come on guys, let's look for Misty, Caterpie er metapod return!" and so, Ash left now with full team hoping to find Misty.
"I swear that girl is more trouble than is worth." Zoey said while Ash snickered at the thought.
I forgot to inform you, I didn't like how Misty's Bike got fried, since he is supposed to be smarter... She'll tag along to find out about Zoey. So no, I won't reveal Zoey THAT easily to them, expect it when she 'accidentally' evolves into Zoroark during a battle.
Oh yeah, Zoey's also protective since they are best friends. So... Expect her to save his butt often.
Ash's Current team.
Zorua-Zoey / female
Feebas / female
Pikachu / male
Shiny Vulpix / female(First shiny!) (Keiman's suggested Shiny Pokemon.)
Metapod / male
Pidgeotto / female
MESSAGE TO READERS THAT BOTHER TO READ THIS-
If the story ever updates, but it has the same amount of chapters, look at the bottom for an update (below) this shows what HAS updated, I myself review it to ensure everything is still in place, so it's written then published, edited, double checked, updated. Just check the update and see what has updated, most is gonna be grammatical errors and an update on battles.
UPDATE- 8/10/13
My beta has sent the update version yesterday, it appears I misunderstood the DocX expecting it to be like the PM showing when I have something new. Then again, it's my first time having a beta read so I wouldn't know, silly me (^^;)
Grammar errors and the battles are better.
UPDATE- 8/14/13
Tiny error, I have 7 pokemon listed in Ash's Pokemon list, problem Caterpie AND Metapod are listed, therefor I have to change that.
I've also put the gender of the pokemon after the Pokemon type. I hope that fixes any confusion before I get a flame for such a fail.
