I apologize to any of my AKPM readers, but I have decided to rewrite my original pokemon story, Ash Ketchum, Pokemon Master, I decided to rewrite because after a a short break on my part, I can't really keep track of all the pokemon Ash has, so I will instead resort to rewriting the fic with a few changes
1). Misty will not appear in the story
2). Most important trainers will get a massive upped power
3). No legendaries caught by Ash, although his most of his pokemon will be legendary level and/or above
4). No Jessie/James/Meowth
5). only a limited amount of pokemon
Other notes:
1). I still plan to have Ash completing all regions including Kalos
2). Ash will still be powerful
3). The trio of Salamence, Rampardos, and Lucario will be disbanded(see point 5 and 6)
4). Ash will have his girls, harem fic most likely(no misty or iris)
5). Ash will catch pokemon only in his region
6). The original trio of Salamence, Rampardos, and Lucario will be replaced with Charmander, Pikachu, and Bellsprout.
7). many attacks will be entirely new. Pikachu will NOT evolve, Charmander will NOT get a mega-evo until Kalos
8). Ash will start his journey without a starter from Professor Oak, but will start at age 10 because I don't want to complicate the other characters
9). Team Rocket will be a major crime organization in the first section of this fic, it will be replaced by stronger organizations later on.
10). No restriction on Pokemon Level or movepool
Chapter One
A New Beginning
Ash Ketchum woke up with a start, today was to be the day that he started his pokemon journey! Obviously this would be a very exciting opportunity for our young hero.
"Pikapi?" A very familiar electric mouse poked his head out of his own makeshift bed beside Ash's.
Ash's old friend Pikachu was a rare case, he held an unnatural amount of power in his little electric body compared to that of his species.
Ash had found Pikachu one day in the woods, Ash had been playing with his friends when he wandered off and he discovered the little guy lying on the ground next to two other pokemon.
Ash, being the pokemon geek he was, immediately recognized the three pokemon as Pikachu, Charmander, and Bellsprout.
He had immediately rushed the three pokemon to Professor Oaks lab where they were quickly treated by the old pokemon professor.
After being treated, the three pokemon quickly befriended our young hero and quickly agreed on being his starter when Ash decided to go on his pokemon journey.
And that day had came, as Ash shot out of his bed and rushed down the stairs where his mother Delia was waiting.
"Ash honey," Delia gave Ash a warm smile, "How are you feeling today?"
"Great mom!" Ash shot his mother a quick smile before sitting on the kitchen table and digging into the pancakes and sausages that were set on the table.
"Don't eat your food so fast dear," Delia said, fussing at her ten year old son.
"Ok mom," Ash mumbled through his food, barely slowing down.
Delia just shook her head, familiar with Ash's table manners, she had long given up on teaching Ash proper table etiquette.
Ash quickly wolfed down the final dozen sausages and washed it down with a glass of milk.
"Alright mom, I'm off on my journey now, byee..."
"Stop right their young man!" Delia's sharp voice cut into Ash's hasty goodbye.
"Eh?" Ash grunted in surprise, his body frozen in a comical shape of running out the door.
"You forgot your pokemon." Delia deadpanned as Ash looked at her sheepishly.
"Oops."
Ash quickly ran back up the stairs and grabbed his pokemon belt with three empty pokeballs attached to it. Pikachu, Charmander, and Bellsprout were currently enjoying breakfast in bed as the poor overexcited ten year old bounced on his toes in annoyance.
"Come on, Come on, Come on!" Ash yelled at the top of his lungs, "We gotta get moving!"
All three if his pokemon sweatdropped at the amount of enthusiasm he was showing, but it was to be expected from the ten year old boy and it was nothing the trio of pokemon hadn't seen before.
Finally, the pokemon finished eating and Charmander and Bellsprout were returned into their pokeballs while Pikachu hopped on Ash's shoulder.
Ash wasted no time rushing back down the stairs where his mother was waiting with a backpack in her hand.
"Whoa" Ash said in wonder as he stared at the backpack. "Where'd you get that mom?"
"I have been saving up quite a while for this backpack, and if you were wondering, I've packed a couple of potions and pokeballs in here, as well as a couple change of clothes and fresh underwear."
"Oh," Ash said, "Thanks mom!"
Then Ash dashed out the door, but not before giving his mom a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Delia looked at the quickly moving form of her son and shook her head again, "I'm sure you will get as far as your father Ash."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Several hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Whew!" Ash said, exhausted after the hours of training he and his pokemon had done against the wild pokemon. "That was for sure pretty tiring!"
He and his pokemon were no stranger to training, as they had done some basic battling before he had set out on his journey, but nothing quite as extreme as the long exhausting training sessions that they had done in the last 3 hours.
"Yo, trainer in the blue cap with the cool backpack!"
Ash spun around, assuming that the voice was talking to him, sure enough, a youngster was approaching him.
"What do you want?" Ash asked.
"What do you think, I want a battle!"
Ash grinned, "Alright, if it's a battle you want, it's a battle you'll get!"
Ash and the youngster quickly found a place to battle, a small clearing with no trees in sight.
"Pikachu, I choose you!" Ash called out to his long time buddy as the electric mouse jumped off his shoulder and landed on the battlefield.
"An electric type huh?" The youngster though out loud, "Then I'll choose this pokemon, Go Geodude!"(A/N Ash is not completing the pokedex for Professor Oak)
"Geodude, start things off with tackle attack!"
The rock pokemon charged at Pikachu, even though it didn't have any legs.
'Man, you wouldn't think a rock would be able to move that fast!'
'But not fast enough!'
"Pikachu, dodge and use tackle attack!"
Pikachu easily sprang out of the way and charged at Geodude doing some damage, but not much.
"Silly trainer," the youngster called out, "your puny normal attacks won't work on my rock typed Geodude!"
"Geodude, let's shake things up with Magnitude!"
"Quick, Pikachu, into the air!" Ash countered quickly
Pikachu leaped up in the air clearing the ground by a good 5 feet.
"Geodude, quick, tackle it while it's in the air!"
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
The thunderbolt hit the Rock/Ground type shocking it and Geodude fainted.
"But how?" Youngster Joey cried out in shock as the electric attack knocked out his Geodude, "Geodude is part Ground type, an electric type shouldn't work like that!"
"Well, I guess Pikachu is just special like that!" Ash said out loud, but internally her thought to himself 'Good, so electric attacks work on ground types when they are in the air.'
For indeed that was what happened, Geodude attempted a tackle attack at the airborne Pikachu, making Geodude go off the ground itself breaking contact with the ground, exactly what Ash intended to happene, making it so that electric attacks could affect it, and since Rock types do not resist electric attacks, so Pikachu's powerful thunderbolt packed enough punch to put Geodude out for the count.
But the youngster was unaware of this as he grabbed his next pokeball, "Ratatta, go!" out of the pokeball, a rat looking pokemon appeared and it growled in anticipation of the match.
'Time to try out our new technique!' Ash thought giddily, "Pikachu, Sand Tornado!" Pikachu just nodded his head and started spinning, gradually, a stream of sand combined with wind formed and sped towards the wide-eyed Ratatta and it's trainer, the combined force of the element of surprise, and the damage done by the attack was enough to put Ratatta out of commission!
'Yes!' Ash cheered.
Pikachu's "Sand Tornado" was something the two had worked extensively on, a couple days ago, it started by Pikachu using Growl on the ground and spinning, while the Growl disturbed the sand, kicking up a small tornado. The tornado was then sent towards Ratatta by a quick flick of Pikachu's tail, marking the end of Ratatta.
The Youngster was in shock at his opponents battle prowess, but that didn't stop him as he called out his final pokemon, a Spearow.
"Alright Spearow, watch out for Pikachu's Electric attacks, use Gust!"
Unfortunately, his warning was for naught as Ash quickly ordered Pikachu to end the battle in the form of a good sized Thunderbolt that struck super-effectively against Spearow ending the match.
The youngster hung his head, and gave Ash his cash reward and quickly ran away, probably to the nearest pokemon center to heal his pokemon.
"Nice job!" Ash gave his pikachu a high five as the two continued through the route.
Ash didn't notice a two pairs of eyes observing their battle from the trees behind them.
"He would make a promising recruit," One of the two men said,
"Indeed."
Ash quickly continued on the path, oblivious to the conversation being held about him.
It didn't take long for before nightfall and Ash quickly set up camp with the supplies his mother gave him, he fixed Pikachu, Charmander, Bellsprout, and himself a quick dinner.
After the meal, Ash stretched his back a little bit before calling out enthusiastically, "Charmander, Bellsprout, Pikachu time for a bit of training!"
Said pokemon groaned a little, but they couldn't expect less from the pokemon fanatic that was Ash Ketchum.
Ash quickly scanned his pokemon, after the meal, his pokemon looked pretty refreshed and ready for a "light" training regiment.
"Alright guys, listen up," Ash started in his commando voice, "We're training to beat all the gyms and win the Indigo League, so I expect all of you to work hard!"
Ash and his pokemon immediately got to work, Charmander and Pikachu were currently working on accuracy and power, for Charmander, who was firing off Flamethrowers at the nimble Pikachu, who was working on his speed and evasiveness.
Bellsprout, on the other hand was the target of Ash's personal training. First Ash had Bellsprout work on power by knocking down trees with kicks and punches, then, had Bellsprout do pushups with it's vines, then after the brief "warmup" They started working on Ash's special moves(will be revealed later )
After a couple of hours when the sun had long set, he finally returned Charmander and Bellsprout, while Pikachu and himself snuggled up into their sleeping bags.
Ash fell asleep with a smile on his face due at how well his first day of his journey went.
A week passed, each day like the first, Ash would wake up, and he and his pokemon would go around fighting wild pokemon and challenging trainers, and after meals they would start training aggressively. As to be expected, after a week, his pokemon were comparatively much stronger than before. In fact, both his Charmander and Bellsprout were close to evolving, both just needing the push that allowed them to evolve.
One day, shortly after the lunch training session, Ash walked over the crest of his hill and spotted Pewter City. Excitable as he was, and not the least bit confused as to why he didn't see Viridian, Ash bounded into the town.
'I had heard that their was a pokemon gym in this town, I can't wait to test the limits of my pokemon'
Ash quickly rushed to the Pokemon Center to heal up his pokemon before the battle, "I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait!"
One heal pulse and a quick run later, Ash was in front of the Pewter City gym... and sweatdropped.
The gym seemed to carved out of a big slab of rock, "Well their isn't any question as to what type affinity this gym has!" Ash muttered to himself.
As Ash stepped into the Gym, the lights came on, inside he could see a young man sitting cross-legged, this young man was none other than the gym leader of Pewter City, Brock.
After some pleasantries before the battle, Brock sent out his first pokemon, a Geodude.
'A Geodude!' Ash thought to himself, he was no stranger to the pokemon as he remembered his first pokemon battle with a youngster.
'Bellsprout would be the most obvious choice, but I feel like Charmander would enjoy a challenge!'
"Charmander, I choose you!" In a flash, the lizard pokemon appeared out of his pokeball stretching and flexing his muscles.
"Char-Charmander!" Charmander called out.
"Great!" Ash cried, "I'm glad to see your ready for battle!"
"Alright," Brock said, "Lets-"
Before he could call out an attack, a group of small children started cheering. Brock looked on, slightly abashed as his younger brothers and sisters took up their role of cheerleaders on the balcony of the gym.
Ash grinned at the siblings that supported the young gym leader, "Alright, I guess we'll start then, Charmander, flamethrower attack!"
Charmander opened his jaws and launched a torrent of white hot flames that engulfed his opponent, who didn't look like he enjoyed it, despite being a rock type, Geodude didn't like being targeted by the powerful flames.
"Geodude, strike back with Bulldoze!"
But before Geodude could accomplish the task, Ash called out quickly, "Stop it in it's tracks with a Fireball!"
Charmander opened his jaws once again and compressed Flamethrowers power in a ball and launched it at his opponent, Geodude was blown backwards by the force of the fireball and crashed into the gym wall, effectively putting the rock pokemon out of commission.
Brock returned his pokemon, shocked by the open display of power from the small Charmander and took out his other pokeball.
"I underestimated you that time, but not again, Onix, let's show'em what we're made of!"
Out of the pokeball came a large snake looking pokemon with a rock body.
The newly called out Onix roared in anticipation of the battle. "Alright Ash, you're Charmander has put up a good fight, but it ends now!"
'That Onix looks very strong, I may have to use some stronger techniques than the fireball!' Ash thought to himself.
"Onix, lets hit that Charmander with a Rock Throw!"
Onix picked up a nearby boulder and hurled it at Charmander.
"Break it with Metal Claw!" Charmander grunted in affirmation and it tore the boulder to pieces with it's metal claw.
"Onix, follow it up with a Rock Tomb," This time, multiple smaller rocks were thrown at Charmander, attempting to trapping it in one place.
"Charmander, counter with Inferno!" Ash called out, Charmander let out a huge amount of blue fire and it exploded upon contact with the rock tomb.
'Ranged fighting gives Charmander the advantage, but if I move in closer, Onix can overpower him!' Brock thought to himself.
"Onix, dig to get close and use bind."
Onix disappeared under the ground as it dug it's way through the gym floor.
"Charmander charge up Purple Fire!" Ash called to his pokemon.
'Purple Fire? I've never heard of the move, must be one they created' Brock thought, then called out, "Now Onix!"
With a mighty roar, Onix bursted out of the ground behind Charmander, but that was exactly what Ash and Charmander were waiting for, "Now Charmander, release it!"
Charmander smirked and surrounded itself with purple flames, then charged Onix with a speed that would make a Pidgeot jealous. The resulting explosion took out Onix and handed Ash and Charmander the victory.
Suddenly, Charmander glowed white and began to grow larger, eventually it gave out a new cry, "Charmeeeeel!"
So, What'd you think? I hope it was long enough, but I'm pressed for time right now and I decided to just post it, Please Review and tell me what you think of my own moves like the Sand Tornado, Fireball, and Purple Fire!" Anyways, I'll explain how Purple Fire works next chapter!
