Hey everyone I'm back and not dead… I have no excuses and know it is my fault and am sorry about that. It was my fault by being lazy and procrastinating. I also had an AP class to work and study for. Anyway on with the story.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon but I wish I did.
Last Time:
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.
Now:
Misty and Ash walked up to the pool where they would have their battle. Violet walked up to the referee podium and called out the standard rules and that the battle was a three vs. three battle.
"This is a battle between Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, the challenger and Misty Waterflower, the gym leader," Violet called out,"Battle, begin!"
Misty smirked, "I already have this battle in the bag, if it's against a beginner, like you. Go Staryu!"
Ash simply looked at her with his brown eyes blazing with rage and simply said, "I hate it when people underestimate others...get ready for battle, Ceres, your up."
When the red Shroomish came out, everyone there's jaw dropped, due to the pokemon being a shiny and rare pokemon. Ceres landed on one of the floating islands in battle position.
"Just because you have a rare pokemon doesn't make you strong," Mistry said slightly worried but feigning ignorance. Ash simply stayed silent, not saying a word which infuriated Misty.
"Ceres use Absorb followed up by Bullet Seed," called out Ash. Ceres spewed of a small beam of light green energy at Staryu and sucked up some of its energy before Misty could react.
"Staryu, dive into the water before he can shoot the Bullet Seed," commanded Misty, as Staryu jumped into the water right after Misty said that and before the fast-moving seeds could hit.
"Ceres be on guard, as Staryu can jump and attack you from anywhere," Ash warned, Ceres simply nodded and was ready to jump at the first signs of Staryu.
"Staryu jump and use Water Gun," Misty said. Staryu spun out of the water and sent a jet of water at Ceres who simply jumped out of the way.
"Now Ceres jump up close and use Bullet Seed followed by Tackle, while it's still in the air," Ash told Ceres who nodded and did just that. Due to Staryu being out of the water and having no way to defend itself, it had no choice but to take the hit head on.
Due to the Bullet Seed being a STAB and super effective on the Staryu, it became weakened but the Tackle, finished it off.
"YOU CHEATED, THERE IS NO WAY YOU BEAT STARYU ESPECIALLY BY A BEGINNER LIKE YOU," Misty shrieked like a Loudred.
"Misty...he beat Staryu fair-and-square, now send out your next pokemon or you're disqualified," Violet said calmly, but embarrassed at the same time.
"Fine, go Starmie," Misty called as she threw her pokeball and a star-fish like pokemon similar to Staryu materialized except it had 10 points instead of 5.
"Ceres return, take a good long rest, now Zephyr you're up," Ash said simply ignoring what Misty said. He returned the shiny Shroomish and sent out his Pidgeotto.
"Well this is going to be easy," Misty said smirking, "Starmie use Rapid Spin." Starmie spun at increased speeds at Pidgeotto.
"Zephyr, into the air," Ash quickly said, as the bird flew into the air before Starmie could land a hit.
"Now use Steel Wing, followed by a Gust," Ash said quickly before Misty could react, knocking out Starmie.
"Starmie is unable to battle, Pidgeotto wins, since both of the leader's pokemon are knocked out, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town wins!" Violet announced, raising the flag towards Ash's side.
Enraged, Misty stomped out of the gym but not before saying, "It was fluke, I WILL beat you next time!"
Confused Ash simply shrugged and walked over to the three sisters who handed Ash the Cascade Badge. He took the badge thanked them and put it into his badge case, then walked out silently with Brock to the pokemon center.
Unable to deal with the awkward silence anymore, Brock said, "Congrats! On your second badge you're getting one step closer to your goal and to the Pokemon League."Ash simply nodded lost in his thoughts, since he was thinking about the battle he just had, analyzing what he could help his two pokemon improve in.
It was another 5 minutes before the duo reached the Pokemon Center, and Ash handed his pokemon over to Nurse Joy without a word, and sat down thinking. Brock excused himself and went to take a nap in his room, to which Ash looked at him and simply nodded, wondering what his next move is.
-Time Skip-
It was two days after Ash's victory in the Cerulean City, and the group was ready to go to the next town, Lavender Town which was notorious for its high ghost-type population, and Ashw wanted to catch one for later when he battle Sabrina, gym leader of Saffron City. From Lavender Town he would travel to battle Lt. Surge for the Thunder Badge. He expected that the whole trip to Vermillion city should take about 2-3 weeks if everything went as planned. He and Brock nodded at each other and began walking down Route 9 to their next stop, Lavender Town.
Anyway thats a wrap and from what it seems with the poll you all want Ash to be paired with someone. I will put up a poll for who he will be paired with, and I will not add any of the girls he travelled with. And everyone, be sure to read and review., and be sure to give me any tips on how to make this story better. Anyway guys, hope you guys have a wonderful day, and bye guys, until next time.
