Hey everyone I couldn't upload a new chapter, I was being lazy and I had schoolwork, I also kind of lost my motivation to write, but I have recently regained some of that motivation. Also from now on expect pokemon not native to the kanto region to pop up once in awhile. However, it won't be in this chapte.r Be sure to do the poll, on who Ash should be paired with in The Journey Of a Lifetime.
AN: I have now added abilities to the pokemon that Ash had if they haven't before from this chapter onwards.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon but I wish i could, but I don't have enough money… :'(.
Last Time:
"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!"...AND…He expected that the whole trip to Route 18 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.
Now:
As Ash and Brock walked down Route 9, a young girl, around 9, wearing a green picknicker suit and sun hat, came up to them, and asked, "Want to have a battle?"
"Sure, 2 vs. 2?" Ash asked. The kid nodded, and Brock walked over to referee.
"This is a battle versus Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, and...what's your name, and place of birth?" Brock asked.
"Heidi, from Celadon City," answered the girl.
"Okay, This is a 2 vs. 2 pokemon battle between Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town and Heidi of Celadon City," Brock spoke out authoritatively.
"Go Skiploom!" Heidi called out, throwing her pokeball, sending out a green creature on its four legs, with a yellow flower on its head.
"Rex, you're up!" called Ash. Rex ran up from Ash's side and got into a battle position.
"Battle, begin!" Brock called.
"Rex, use Tackle, then go into Bite while it's down!" Ash said. Rex ran at Skiploom, and ran straight into it, but looked like it did more damage than its normal Tackle attacks and after knocking it down, its teeth glowed white, signaling Bite was going to be used, and bit down hard. Skiploom screamed out in pain before succumbing to its injuries and fainting.
"Awesome Rex, you learned Chip Away!" Ash said proudly, : Are you sure you can continue?" To which Rex nodded it's head confidently.
"Damnit, Skiploom return, go Sandshrew!" Heidi called out throwing her second pokeball sending out, a light brown armadillo-like creature, then called out " Use Dig, the when you come up use Fury Cutter!" To which the Sandshrew dove underground digging a tunnel
"Rex try to dodge, but if you can't take the Dig attack, catch the Fury Cutter, and use Chip Away!" said Ash calling out. Rex tried to dodge the Dig attack but missed, but quickly recovered and caught the armadillo-like pokemons arm and rammed its heavy rock-like body into the Sandshrew, damaging it.
"Sandshrew, use Magnitude, followed by Swift!" called the little girl, to which Sandshrew stomped its foot causing a giant tremor causing mild damage to Rex, and while Sandshrew was preparing its Swift, Ash took the time to counterattack.
"Rex use Pursuit while it's recovering from using Magnitude, and starting to use Swift!" Ash said quickly. Rex quickly jumped and hit the Sandshrew while covered in a black energy.
"Now use Swift!" called the girl, to which the brown pokemon sent a barrage of yellow stars.
"NOOO, REX!" Ash yelled as he couldn't come up with a counter quickly enough. Rex was covered in a brownish energy, and a ton of rocks, materialized above him, before he sent it in front of him as well as the Sandshrew, knocking out the brown pokemon.
"Woohoo! Rex you learned Rock Slide as well!" Ash said hugging Rex, and after hugging him stood up and faced the little girl and said, "Also good battle...I look forward to battling you again!"
"You too...That was a good battle!" replied the picknicker.
Time Skip
Ash and Brock walked into the Route 18 Pokemon Center and walked up to Nurse Joy.
"Hello, welcome to the Route 18 Pokemon Center, how can I help you today?" asked The pink-haired nurse with a kind smile.
"My friend and me would like to get our pokemon checked and healed," Ash said returning the smile and handing her his pokeballs, which Brock repeated.
"Of course, return in another 10 minutes, is there anything else i can do for you?" she asked.
"Yes, can we have a room, please?" Brock asked.
"Of course here is your room key, you can have room 183," said the nurse handing them both their keys.
Ten Minutes Later
"Here are your Pokemon, all of them are healthy and ready to go," said Nurse Joy handing both Brock and Ash, their pokeballs.
"HELP! Nurse Joy, my Rattata was injured!" said a young boy with a blue hat running to the counter with a badly injured Rattata.
"Quick, get me small sized normal stretcher!" Nurse Joy ordered, to which the Chansey brought.
Nurse Joy sighed, "That's the sixth one this week."
"What happened, and what do you mean the sixth one this week?" Ash asked curious.
"A wild Nidorino has been attacking trainers for no reason. Even though wild Nidorino can be quite territorial, that doesn't mean they would attack trainers simply minding their own business," answered the tired nurse.
Ash and Brock both nodded and walked away from the counter and eventually split up to do their own errands. While Brock went to resupply their stock, Ash went to call his mother and professor.
"Ahhhh...Hello Ash, how have you been?" asked the old professor.
"Good, I was wondering whether I could transfer over Clefable, to stay with my mother, as Clefable doesn't want to battle and my mother has been quite lonely in the house with only Mimey there." Ash asked.
"Of course just put the pokeball in the transporter and everything else will be taken care of," answered the professor. Ash placed Clefable's pokeball into the transporter and in a couple seconds the pokeball was transported to the lab.
"Good, I received it, is there anything else you need?" said Oak.
"No, that's it professor, thank you," Ash said with a smile and hung up. He next dialed up his mother and caught up with her, and told her that Clefable would be staying with her to which she was overjoyed.
The Next Day
Ash and Brock looked onto the expanse that was Route 18. Ash knew he had to add that wild Nidorino to his team, as it would be a powerhouse to be reckoned with especially when it evolved into Nidoking. With that thought, he and Brock walked down Route 18 in search of the aggressive and wild Nidorino.
Looks like we may have another addition to the team, who knows, stay tuned, for the next chapter of The Journey of A Lifetime. Now, the poll I need more votes, so that way I can decide on who he will paired with, as I only 10 total votes. I also added a few more options to the poll so be sure to check it out.
