Chapter 3

As Ash was walked along the path towards Viridian City, he thought to his self about the first time he walked along this dusty trail after getting Pikachu as his starter pokémon. Whilst walking along he smiled at Pikachu and said,

"Do you remember this place Pikachu."

Pikachu looked confused at Ash, and looked back and forth at the tree.

"This is the very same tree that you scampered up when we first met."

Pikachu's face suddenly dawned in recognition at the tree, and sweat-dropped as he remembered. Ash then sat down and lent back against the tree and said,

"We have been through so much since then haven't we buddy. I mean all the leagues we've competed in. All our friends and rivals we have had. All those mad groups as well Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic and Plasma who we've defeated. And who else can say we have seen nearly every legendary pokémon in existence, apart from us. I mean we have seen the creator of pokémon Arceus no-one can say that at all."

Suddenly Ash heard a noise from behind him. Turning he saw the grass start to shake, when suddenly a shadow jumped out of the darkness into Ash's field of vision. In front of him stood a Growlithe who bared his teeth at Ash and snarled, Ash took his pokédex out and quickly scanned Growlithe

"Growlithe the Puppy pokémon. Growlitheare is very protective of its territory. It will bark and bite to repel intruders from its space."

Ash then took a step back to process what he was seeing when he saw why Growlithe was snarling, there stuck in his food was a splinter that had been wedged in.

"Alright then Pikachu. Let's capture this Growlithe. Gible I choose you. Gible I need you to help me knock out that Growlithe."

Growlithe quickly saw what was happening and launched a Flamethrower at Gible.

"Dodge with Dig Gible."

Quickly Gible tunnelled underground to dodge the blast then scurried towards Growlithe then jumped up slamming into Growlithe. As Growlithe flew through the air he quickly span around and use Flame Wheel which hit Gible and launched him into a tree.

"Gible return. Thank you for your hard work. Now Kingler lets go. I choose you. Use Brine."

Quickly from Kingler's claws two streams of powerful water emerged and blasted into Growlithe who rolled across the ground and growled as he shakily stood up shaking his fur off. Then launched Flamethrower at Kingler who retaliated with Hydro Pump. And creating when the two attacks collided a steam cloud. One that managed to ensure Ash could quickly run over to Growlithe and pull it into his arms. Gently Ash said

"I won't hurt you I promise I just want to help you, remove this splinter from your paw. Please."

Growlithe looked into Ash's eyes and saw the sincerity in them before extending his paw.

"Thank you." Ash said gently taking the paw and then grasping the splinter in his hand he pulled. Ash couldn't feel the pain of Growlithe but the whine and howling of Growlithe made him wince.

"I am almost done Growlithe just hang on."

Ash removed the splinter finally and then sprayed a potion from his bag onto the paw and wrapped it up. And just as he finished Growlithe jumped up and ran off. Ash shook his head in bemusement and said,

"Was happy to help. Kingler you did great now return. Come on Pikachu let's head off."

With that Ash walked off with Pikachu perched on his shoulder. As Ash walked away Growlithe peeked out from within the grass and started gently walking behind Ash out of site. A few minutes later Ash was walking up a hill that over looked Viridian City and said to Pikachu,

"Well buddy there's Viridian City. We've made good time. Hopefully this time we won't run into Team Rocket."

Unfortunately for Ash he'd spoken to soon, as just behind Ash hiding in wait was 3 members of Team Rocket, Jessie, James and Meowth.

"There's our target." Jessie said,

"I agree so let's get ready to attack" Said James.

"I agree. This time we will win." Meowth said.

"AND WE DO IT FOR THE BOSS!" They all then said.

Ash suddenly stopped as a shadow came over head

"Oh you are joking." He said in exasperation.

"Is that a twerpish voice I hear" said Jesse

"Why yes I believe it is I can hear it loud and clear" James said

"Swimming in the -" both began to sing before Ash cut them off.

"Stop with the singing already I hear you"

"How dare you interrupt our motto you fiend!" Jesse screamed.

"Because I know how it goes and I know what you are going to do now. Call out your pokémon to battle mine and try to capture Pikachu."

"Well then ask and you shall receive." James snarled

"Yamask Carnivine Weezing Mr Mime go!"

"Wow James I'm impressed your pokémon seem to be stronger. So I will respond in force. Pikachu, Kingler, Eevee, Gible go."

"Hey don't leave me out Seviper, Arbok, Woobat, Yanmega Wobbuffet go" Exclaimed Jesse.

"And don't forget me." Meowth said. Jumping into the fray.

"Pikachu use Thunder Bolt now Eevee Shadow Ball, Kingler Crab Hammer and Gible Dragon Pulse."

"Carnivine Vine Whip, Weezing Smog, Mr. Mime Psychic, Yamask Will-O-Wisp."

"Arbok Poison Sting, Yanmega Sonic Boom, Wobbuffet Barrier and Woobat Air Slash Seviper Poison Tail."

"And feel my Fury Swipes of Doom" Added Meowth.

Mid-field all moves collided, and Ash said,

"I have to hand it to you guys you seem to have improved however I will show you the skill. Go Gible use Draco Meteor."

Out of no-where Gible launched his ultimate move hitting all of James's pokémon causing James to re-call them. Ash then had an idea.

"Why do you guys work for Team Rocket?" He asked.

Jesse and James looked confused at what was being asked,

"What do you mean?"

"Well you all seem to know about all about pokémon so why didn't you go into a career like that?"

Jesse then smiled sadly and said,

"I wanted to become a pokémon nurse but failed my final course."

"Well why don't you quit and go to school again or I have an even better idea. Go to Pallet Town and speak to Professor Oak because the other week he was saying he wanted some more assistants. So how about it. James you could document the different pokémon and their findings as well. You could start anew. Jesse you could become a co-ordinator if you wanted to."

Jesse and James looked at each other and then at Ash and said,

"Alright then we will go to see Oak and ask him under your recommendation. Thank you for trusting us like this.

"It's alright I have a feeling you will do fine."

Suddenly Meowth asked Ash something that surprised him,

"Ash could I travel with you?"

Taking a step back Ash said,

"Of course you can but why?"

"I want to learn how to be the best and all your pokémon seem to learn moves and are powerful and I want to feel that power. Please let me!"

"Alright then Meowth. Get ready. Go pokéball."

Meowth was hit and absorbed into the ball and a second later a ping sounded signifying the capture.

"Alright I just caught Meowth."

Ash then sent Meowth out and said,

"Alright we need to be setting off in a moment so say your goodbyes and we can get going."

2 minutes later the 3 trainers parted ways walking in opposite directions though knowing they would see each other again. Then within another few minutes, Ash had arrived at the Viridian City pokémon centre and said to Pikachu

"Let's not blow it up this time."

Pikachu nodded and Ash went to open the door and step through, when bang. Both he and a young lady was knocked to the floor.

"I'm sorry." Ash said quickly helping the girl up.

"It's alright Ash don't worry" the girl replied.

"It's been a while -"
