Sorry for the late update and anyway with further ado...here is Chapter 6 of The Journey of A Lifetime… anyway enjoy the story and review.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon but I wish I did.
Ash woke up to Brock waking him up, by throwing water on him. Ash glared at Brock while Borck smiled sheepishly.
"Why did you throw water on me, for no reason?!" Ash asked and exclaimed.
"Well...you wouldn't wake up even when I shook you or screamed at you so I had no other choice," Brock said.
Ash understanding why, then took his backpack and changed his clothes. He took out a shirt and switched it with his wet one. After switching his shirt, Ash then released his pokemon to get some fresh air. Ash and Brock set up a fire to start making pokemon food for their pokemon.
-Time Skip-
After eating breakfast the pair set on their way to Cerulean city, through Route 4. Ash wanted to get to Cerulean City as soon as possible to battle the gym. As the pair walked on through Route 4, Ash thought about different strategies and the gy itself. However, as Ash was walking he almost walked into an old friend of his, Red. he would have walked into him if it wasn't for Brock holding him back before he walked into him. Red was in the shade looking through his pokedex, and didn't notice Ash and Brock.
Ash walked up to Red and asked, "Hey Red, wanna battle?"
Red looked up and gave a nod, to Ash who then pulled Red up and they walked to a clearing for a battle. The walked to either sides and pulled out a pokeball.
Brock then walked up and did the standard introduction, of introducing them both, then started the battle, with which Ash started with Zubat, while Red started with a Pikachu.
"Zubat use Supersonic followed by a Giga Drain," Ash told Zubat who made the Pikachu confused and drained it of its energy.
"Pikachu use Electro Ball, follow it up with a Quick Attack," Red told Pikachu, who tried to use Electro Ball but ended up hurting itself, but managed to land a Quick Attack. Pikachu landed with a couple bruises and was panting but could still fight.
"Zubat finish Pikachu of with a Bite, followed up by a Giga Drain!" Ash exclaimed before Red's Pikachu could recover. Zubat used both of the following moves on the Pikachu, causing it to faint and letting Ash win the battle. Ash and Red shook hands, promising each other to face each other in the Indigo League. However, before parting ways, Ash healed both of their pokemon and gave Red a few potions, to heal his pokemon, if ever needed to. After parting ways with Red, Ash and Brock decided to go on and reach Cerulean City before the sunset.
-Time Skip-
It was a couple hours after the battle with Red, that Ash and Brock reached
Cerulean City, home of the Sensational Sisters and Cascade Badge. Deciding that they were tired and did not want to strain themselves or their pokemon, Ash decided to do some training today and go and battle Misty for the gym badge. After stopping by the Pokemon Center to heal their pokemon, and book a room, Ash went to Route 4 to train his pokemon, while Brock went to the Pokemart to restock on food and medicine.
After finding a clearing, Ash released all of his pokemon and told them to spar for an hour and then he would tell them what to do next. He then decided since there was uneven amount of pokemon, he instead made it into a Battle Royale, where every pokemon for themselves and it was a free-for-all.
-Time Skip-
After the Battle Royale ended with Rex coming out on top with Zubat coming in second, Ash was able to see what was needed for each of his pokemon, in words of weakness.
"Ok, Rex, you will be working on Speed, Pidgeotto, you will be working on speed on the ground, Ceres, you will working on your agility, Zubat, you will be working on strengthening your Giga Drain, and finally, Clefable, you will be working on strengthening your Wake-up Slap," Ash commanded and the pokemon set to work.
An hour, later Ash told them it was enough and to relax, for tomorrow was a big day, the second gym battle and a step closer to his dream of becoming a pokemon master.
-Time Skip-
It was the day, of the battle and the duo walked up to the gym, where they walked in and saw a performance going on. Ash sighed and sat down and waited for the show to finish and to have his gym battle. After the performance ended they walked to the backstage area, where they saw a door, with a nameplate that had the words, "The Sensational Sisters", on it.
He knocked on the door and a pretty purple haired girl opened the door and said, "I'm sorry but we are not signing anymore autographs."
"We are not here for autographs, but for a gym battle," Ash replied.
"Oh, well we got beat so many times, by some people, from a place called Pallet Town, that all our pokemon were defeated and are currently healing. The only pokemon we have is a Goldeen which only knows the move, Horn Drill, so you can have the badge for free," the girl said as she called a Seel. The Seel then opened his mouth, and there was a Cascade Badge there, but Ash liked to earn his badges so he glared at the girl.
As he was about to open his mouth to say something, he heard a voice exclaim, "If you won't fight him, then I will!" Who Ash recognized as Misty, the last of the Sensational Sisters. After brief argument, between Misty and her sisters, Ash got ready to take the next step in his dream to become a pokemon master.
And that is the chapter, hope you guys enjoyed the story. I was actually going to end it of in a cliffhanger, but I decided against it. Anyway, I have a poll set up to see if you want to see Ash paired up with anyone, and if the poll is a yes, then I will put up another poll to see, who you all want to see him paired with.
