Chapter 2: pokemon i choose you*ring, ring, ring*

Ashley: ugh, why the hell did i put my alarm clock on the other side of the room

Ashley: oh yeah, i usually break them if they are very close to my bed when i sleep

jumping from her bed, she went to turn off her alarm clock and got dressed up.

She wore a white t-shirt with a thick black vest, and a hood to hide her figure, green cameo pants, and white running shoes.

she tucked her hair into her red cabby hat. her bangs covered her eyes. All in all, she looked like a boy.

she put up her hood, grabbed her duffel bag, and put her backpack on.

Heading downstairs, she stopped and sweatdropped at the sight in the kitchen, her mum was sitting on 1 side of the kitchen

table, which was loaded with a feast.

Mum: morning sweetie, i already made all your favourite foods for breakfast.

On the table, were plates of food: scrambled eggs, tofu, sausage, baked beans, pancake and a glass of orange juice

Ashley: ah, that's great, mum, but can you pack some of this to go so that i am not late?

Mum: of course, you just eat your fill while i get the tupperware.

Ashley ate her fill, put her leftovers in the duffel bag, and then ran to rpofessor oak's lab, 15 feet from the entrance she

stopped

Breathing in, she gather aura in her and then used it to see what was ahead of her. Gary oak gathered a lot of people for his

grand send off.

Ashley's thoughts: His big ego is gonna get him into trouble 1 day. She cut off her sight and jogged to the lab.

Ignoring the crowd gathered at the entrance, she ran up the steps and went into the lab. she went straight into the room

where new trainers get their new pokemon.

Gary and professor oak were both inside the room.

professor oak: Ah, good morning Ash, You're right on time.
*professor oak called her what she wanted to be called*

Gary: Hey There, Ashy-boy! took you long enough, what happened, you sleep late.
*yes, Gary and all the younger kids thought Ashley is a boy, Only adults and the older kids knew Ashley is a girl*

Professor Oak: Gary Oak! How many times do i have to tell you not to tease other people?

Professor oak: gary, you will have to take squirtle, as the two trainer before you already took bulbasaur and charmander, and

ash i have a pokemon for you, He's a bit hard to handle, so i thought you will be a good trainer to him.

Gary: Ha! As if ashy-boy can could handle a difficult pokemon! i bet 1000 dollar that he will come back crying for a new one

in no time! see ya, gramps, ashy-boy

Ashley: he really is dense as we believed, i just now that his big stuck-up ego will get him in to trouble someday. you did

mention to him that i was your volunteer aide for the last 6 years, right?

Professor oak: Yes, but that infomation went in one ear and out the other

Ashley: Then it's his problem if he doesn't learn much. So what pokemon am i getting and why exactly is it so difficult to

handle

professor oak handed ashley a pokeball with a lightning symbol on it. Letting the pokemon out, she saw it was the electric

mouse pokemon, pikachu

Ashley: well, it looks healthy, so what's

a sparking sound reached her ears in time for her to dodge thundershock from said pikachu

professor oak: As you saw, this pikachu has, pardon the pun, an electrifying personality! It'd be a bad idea to send him with

any other trainer, so i chose you.

Ashley and pikachu stared at each other for a moment

Ashley: yeah, i'll take hime, i may not be a pokemon ranger like my mum was, but i can still connect my feelings to my own

pokemon

professor oak nodded before handing her 5 empty pokeballs and her PokeDex.

Ashley turned to pikachu and ask: So, would you like to ride on my shoulder, or walk

pikachu huffed before jumping to the ground, signalling that he will walk

Stopping in a field near the forest and sitting down looking at pikachu, ashley took out her pokedex.

Dexter: pikachu, the mouse pokemon, it had small electric sacs on both it's cheeks. If it's being threatened, it will loose

electric charges from the sacs

Pikachu: humph! First i got caught, Then i am given to a boy with girly name, talk about humiliating!

Ashley sweatdropped

Ashley: actually, i am a girl, i just don't feel comfortable walking around like one, What's your name

pikachu almost fell down from the tree in shock

Pikachu: Storm... my name is storm. And how are you able to understand me

Ashley: i am not what most people would call normal

Ashley turn around when she heard something near her duffel bag. she saw a purple curly tail sticking out from her bag, she

quickly gather blue energy into her fist and used it on the pokemon

the pokemon was knocked out of her bag and slammed into a tree

Ashley's thought: rattata, and a young one. She throw a heal ball at the rattata. the rattata was caught

Storm: what was that? What was the blue glow on your hand?

Ashley: my mum called it aura, we will be reaching the city in another hour's time

Storm: what city is that

Ashley: virdian city, it's right up the path. Storm, want to try battling with me

Storm: ok, but i get to choose the pokemon

Ashley: alright

Storm: hey look, a pidgey.

Ashley turn around only to see it flew away

Storm: dang, missed it

something flew by and storm used thundershock on it, it wasn't a pidgey

Ashley: oh that's not good, storm, run!

they are running to the direction of virdian city with a flock of spearow following them, Ashley quickly glanced behind them

Ashley: crud!

Storm: What, what is it?

Ashley: there is a fearow in the flock

Storm: double crud!

They ran past a bridge and into a red-haired girl

Misty: Hey, watch it!

Ashley: Take my bag and bring it to virdian city pokemon center and i will be there to pick it up as soon as i get there

It started to rain. Then Ashley had a idea

Ashley: storm, fire a thundershock attack while it's still raining. it will do twice the damage

Storm: okay!

Jumping off Ashley's shoulder, storm let out the strongest thundershock he could manage, The flock took a big amount of

damage. Ashley took out a ultra ball and threw it at fearow and caught it. With fearow caught, the spearow left. Storm got

onto Ashley's shoulder as she picked up fearow's pokeball
