Doing Things Differently

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I own only the characters that show up when Ash is wondering certain regions and gets certain Pokemon. I own the characters there.

Summary: Ash is given Pikachu in the beginning. What if Pikachu ditches him in his time of need. What is another pokemon takes place of his starter. He takes to the world differently and is colder. He wants to be the best of trainers. Watch out world.

Answers:

SSJ3 Kyuubi Gohan: Ash will get some girls in the future. He is still young and will flirt only. He will be nice because of being around his Mother for so long. He will look at the girls later.

Darkmachines: Ash will be catching only Kanto pokemon. I want to follow the story plot.

ShadowWolfDemon19: I don't know about a Growlithe because Gary has one. Gary is known for it. I don't want Ash to have a pokemon his rival is known for. I want Ash to have types that are his alone in this story. Also one's that could scare the pants off Gary.

Noshadowone: I like the idea of Ash getting a Abra. He will be getting some psychic types. I also really like the idea for him to get a Meowth. I always loved Persion. His mother Delia will be getting a pokemon soon. I want Ash to capture a good cute pokemon for her. I just noticed, I keep giving Ash one evolution pokemon but it'll change soon. His pokemon team will be evolving soon.

Fearofvengeance: Thanks. I wanted this story to be unique. The pairing of Ash/Sabrina will be thought of. I have to remember Ash is still 10 years old. He is more mature though. I don't think a harem is going to happen. He will be fighting Gary in the Silver Conference. But he is gonna fight him in little battles. He will catch Pikachu again, but he will be very cold with it. I hate to say it but he'll be like Paul with Pikachu. He loves and treats is others wonderfully but will dislike the one's who attack or get on his bad side.

Lightningblade49: I noticed I misspelled a bit of words. I plan to fix that in this story also my computer is also a blame for that. It likes to act up and repeat letters and I happen to misspell a bit. I forgot how tall Clefable was. I will fix that. Charizard, Haunter, Muk, Snorlax, Heracross (maybe), Noctowl, Swellow, Sceptile, Glalie, Internape, Torterra, and Gible! (hell yeah!) They will still be there. I don't know about Totodile (I thought he was annoying actually...)

fanfic meister: Sandshrew will work with Ash because of his hard-headness. I think Clefable will work with him to make him more calm. She and the other female pokemon are gonna be mother hens to him. Ash is gonna hold grudges on electric rodents so all Pikachu evolutions beware. Other electric rodents in the regions too. He's gonna blush at females, but not looking for any relationships yet. I really like the idea of him having a Sharpedo, Shinx, and Buizel. I'll think about the others.

Trinity Fenton-Phantom: Thanks. I will try to keep updating as much as possible. I'm thinking of Ash getting a Riolu. Sometime in the future. I always liked Riolu.

Kalm1234: I try to follow the original as much as possible. I want Ash to go everywhere and get new pokemon. He will follow the story line my way and no Pikachu with him. Just him and his new pokemon. I'm gonna keep working on every chapter as much as I can. Thank you so much that I know that I got Ash fitting in greatly with the original.

Swagnilla-Ice-1985: I think, I'll wait for the love interest. He will find Sabrina cute but that's it.

Laura: I will keep writing. He will be getting a Haunter, Cubone, Meowth, Rhyhorn, Eevee, his starters, maybe a Dratini (I'll think about it.), Abra is still a thought, Butterfree (is a thought.)

Wildedge: Thanks. Ash will be catching more pokemon on his way. He is getting Tauros. I always loved that pokemon.

Exwindzz: Gary will be his obnoxious self but will be a lot cooler to Ash when he see's how much his rival went through and changed. He will still insult him, because he's Gary.

O Jordinio O: I will work on my grammar. It needs a bit of work. This is my first major story so, I'm bond to have a few mistakes. I'm not much of a writer usually but an animator so this is new. I will work on getting a beta reader though. Ash is not taking shit from his pokemon, I want him to still be the same person with certain people. He likes Misty because she helped to save him so he knows her mallet attacks aren't a problem. His points with Charizard will be explained. I knew Ash was whinny in the original but this Ash won't deal with that. He's more mellow with his pokemon watching over him. He is still learning and is bond for some mistakes. He can't be prefect.

Victinis Victory: He won't be getting any lengendaries. He'll still run into them, but that's it. He won't be a snob. He loves his pokemon and dislikes his rival Gary.

Senpen banka: Next is Cerulean City, AJ, Poke Tech, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle and others. I rather like the Onix. So maybe Ash will get an Onix. He will get more.

Pokemon Ash has so far:

Spearow: Talon (male)

Magikarp: Mystic (female)

Shellder: Gem (female)

Ekans: Naga (female)

Mankey: Champ (male)

Pinsir: Spike (male)

Beedrill: Videl (female)

Sandshrew: Quake (male)

Clefable: Tinker (female)

Ash is a ladies man... Has more girls then Brock will ever get. ;)

Listed is what I think could work in the next chapter:

Butterfree

Onix

Meowth

What do you think? Name any others you would think will work with him and this story.

Pokemon Opening: Kanto

Last Time on Starting Things Differently:

"Hey there's something else scribbled here." Brock muttered. "Well they say that some kids like to write silly notes on these signs. What's it say?" After scratching Talon one last time. He leaned over to peer at the scribble. Talon looked on too and froze.

Gary was here! Ash is a loser!

"Gary was here!... Loser! Ugh!" He growled at this and clenched his fists. Talon narrowed his eyes at that. 'My trainer isn't a loser.' Ash looked pissed at this statement. "Gary... I'll SHOW YOU!" With his eyes on fire, Ash took off like a rocket. Talon flew off and watched his trainer running with a scary look on his face. Talon knew then 'I don't want to be Gary...'

"What's the hurry?!" Misty watched as Ash ran off. "He'll never learn..." Brock said. Talon watched from the sky seeing his trainer want to pound his rival into the ground. Talon wondered what else is going to happen on this journey with Ash. Only life knows the answer.

Present:

After running and making his anger simmer down Ash came to a slow down. Misty and Brock were walking behind him a distance away. Talon flew and perched on his shoulder. Talon turned and nuzzled his trainers left cheek to see if he cooled down. Ash gave a faint grin at his pokemon's thoughtfulness.

The gang caught up with Ash, "Hey guys. I'm sorry for that. Gary makes me lose my temper." Ash muttered looking like a kicked puppy. Brock quirked an eyebrow at this sight, "Who's Gary?" "He's my rival. He's always making fun of me." Ash stated looking down starting to find the ground interesting. Brock and Talon frowned at this response. "Sounds to me that guy is a loser." Misty retorted seeing Ash's expression. Ash smiled hearing his friends words, "Thanks guys." They smiled at Ash and Talon cawed and preened his trainers hair. Ash laughed at this then looked dejected again, "Gary is always ahead of me even when we were really young.." Ash whispered to himself in sadness. The others looked at each other. Talon continued preening Ash's hair to keep his trainer from feeling down in the dumps.

"He's gonna be even better when he see's this." Ash said with sadness as he gestured to his scar on the left side of his face. Brock frowned at that wondering exactly how that happened. He didn't want to bring it up with Ash yet. Misty looked on with sadness at this, "If he does. Then he is a real great A jerk." She said gently looking at her friend. Ash gave a faint grin at Misty's response.

The group continued their walk to Cerulean City. Ash and Brock were steadily walking forward. Ash stretched his neck and smiled hearing a pop. "It's a great day to just enjoy the sunshine!" Ash said with a huge giddy grin. "And while your enjoying the sun Gary's catching more pokemon." Ash froze at Brock's retort. Talon glared at Brock who had the decency to look sheepish. "But I guess a pokemon trainer can capture pokemon and enjoy the sun." Was Brock's way of counter fixing. Talon nodded with approval at that sentence, he then turned his head noticing Misty walking further away. She stopped to take a deep breath and then started to run towards them.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" She shouted. Talon cawed and nipped Ash on the ear. Ash turned and looked towards Misty. "Where do you think your going?" She said panting after running towards them. "Well, I know where we're going. We're going to Cerulean City." Ash retorted looking at Misty weird. He told them earlier they were going here. "Cerulean City!? What are you going there for?!" Misty shrieked out looking frightened at his response. "Well it's none of your business. But I'm going for more badges." Ash said lifting a eyebrow at her answer.

"Ah. Ash you don't want pokemon from there. Trust me." Misty said scared as she leaned a bit closer to Ash. "Why not?" Ash questioned with his eyebrow still quirked. "Because their all-" She stopped for drama effect. Ash glared at this looking seamed, "All what?!" "Very scary ghost pokemon who look like this." Misty stated then showed a creepy looking face. "A monster." She said with a grin and seriousness. Ash wasn't impressed by that. Talon and Brock sweat-dropped at this.

"Ha ha ha! Nice face Misty." Ash laughed holding this stomach after looking at her face. "Come on Brock." Then he walked off with Brock. Talon cawed and nuzzled his trainer who in turn started petting his chest feathers gently. He cawed in happiness at his trainers gentleness.

"Hey! Hey wait! WAIT A SECOND!" Misty shouted. She ran in front of the boys to block them on the road. "Hey wait. What about Vermilion City? It's right on the water and there are lots of neat pokemon! And you can watch all the boats pulling into the harbor! And there's a little park way on the hill where you can sit and watch the stars thats so romantic." Misty said with happiness thinking about her favorite town. Ash looked at her with a weird face, hearing this, "Ummm..." Brock quirked an eyebrow at that.

"It's much nicer then that old Cerulean City! So let's get going!" Misty said with a big smile and then did a fist pump. Ash blinked at this and gave a smile, "Ok. Let's go." Misty's eyes widened, "Really?" She said looking at Ash in the face if he was serious. "To Cerulean City." Ash said closing his eyes with a smirk. Talon cawed with laughter. Misty froze and fell down dejected.

"I've gotta get more trainer badges Brock and sense there's a gym in Cerulean City." Ash said with confidence looking at Brock. "Yeah. Make's sense to me." Brock answered sincerely nodding to Ash. Misty watched them walk away with a frown, "Ahhh... I never wanted to wind up back here." Misty whined and then looked sad. She then went to follow the boys sadly.


It was dark in another part of town. You see a stock room and a ventilation vent. It popped open and you saw a flashlight appear. Holding the light was James who looked mischievous. "The coast is clear." He stated with a smirk. Jessie popped her head out, "Nothing to fear." She answered with a face conjoined in a grin. Behind her crept Meowth who gave a dark smile, "No buddy here." They then dropped to the floor and looked around.

James looked around with his flashlight. It looked around and all you saw were electronics. They walked down the tech machines and continued their search. Then they stopped and looked with the flashlight. "Well. Look's like we found it." James said. "Just what we need to just get what we want." Jessie answered with a grin. "Pokemon." Meowth said with fanged grin.


Ash and the crew made it to Cerulean City. Ash and Brock were currently looking around. Talon ideally sat perched on Ash's shoulder. He didn't want to go in the pokeball just yet because of his trainers Gary episode. Call him a worry-wart.

"So this is Cerulean City. A Brock?" Ash questioned. "Pretty nice place. Isn't it?" Brock said looking around. "Yeah. Pretty cool." Ash said looking around with a smile then frowned noticing something. "Hey look. Misty's not here." Talon and Brock frowned at this, "Well she really didn't want to come to Cerulean City. Did she." Brock answered. "I wonder why she hates this place so much?" Ash questioned.

"Hmmm..." Brock retorted frowning at this. "Oh! We'll never figure out girls." Ash said with a grin. And ending with a laugh. Talon cawed in agreement. Brock snorted at that.

They were walking in town when they heard sirens. Reaching a block they saw a group of people. They saw the line of police cruisers in front of the building with their sirens on. The building said Machine Shop. A group of people her huddled in the front talking. "The Police. I wonder what happened?" Ash asked looking at the herd of people. Talon cawed and gripped his trainers shoulder harder. Ash petted his head in reassurance, "Let's go see what's happening." Ash said then ran towards the scene. "Right." Brock answered and soon followed.

Inside the herd of people were a pair of police officers. They were scanning the place for evidence. Ash and Brock made it to the front of the line of people surrounding the herd. Ash turned to a guy beside the left of him, "Excuse me? Do you know what happened here?" The guy looked at Ash got a little weary seeing his scar-ed face but retorted, "Looks like some burglars broke into that store last night." Ash and Brock widened their eyes at this. "Burglars huh." Ash stated looking nervous.

"What do you know about burglars?" A female voice questioned. They turned to see a female cop staring intently at them and in a thinking pose. "You two look very suspicious to me." Ash blinked at this response with worry. The female Officer then noticed Ash's scar, "Oh! Sorry for the in convince. I didn't know that was you Ash." The lady said with a sheepish smile even sticking a tongue out at her conviction. Ash blinked, "You know me?" "I'm Officer Jenny and a lady in Pallet town called here to see if you made it here safely. Her name was Delia Ketchum." Officer Jenny said with a smile. Ash froze at that, "Mom?!" Officer Jenny smiled hearing his retort, "Yeah she said she was your mother and was worried if anymore problems happened to you. Sounds to me she was scared of you getting another one of those." She said with a grim look seeing Ash's scars on his face and arms. Ash suddenly found the ground interesting rather then looking at the Officer.

"Um. Miss? I was wondering sense I'm new in town. Maybe we can get together tonight and you can show me around." Brock said to Officer Jenny with a good hardy grin. "Well, I'm not off duty till past your bedtime." She retorted with a smirk seeing the boy's face. Ah kids always wanting to get with the older crowd she thought. Brock looked dejected at her response. Ash gave a nervous smile and sweat-dropped. "And I even work around the clock to catch these burglars." Officer Jenny stated looking tired.

"What exactly did they steal?" Ash asked. Officer Jenny looked at him and frowned at this, "That's the strange thing about it. They didn't take any money. Just a massive vacuum and a giant hose." She said. "But what would anybody want that stuff for?" Ash asked thinking about it and how the stuff would be used. Talon looked at his trainer and cawed nipping his hair. "I don't know young man. But I do know, I don't have time to do guessing games with you. Because I got a job to do. And it's time for you two to move. Come on it time to move!" With that she started pushed the boys away.

Ash and Brock sat on a bench in a park. "Good thing Mom called up for to check on me. If it wasn't for her, I would have faced the police." Brock nodded at that happy that his friends mom saved them. "Hey. Shouldn't you head to Cerulean City gym." Ash froze at this then smiled and turned his head to friend, "Yeah. Hey Brock. I'm gonna stop by the pokemon center. I want to trade in my pokemon for this battle." Brock looked at Ash, "You know what to prepare for?" Ash looked at him weird after hearing that, "Yeah. The gym leader deals with water. Professor Oak was big on that while I was in the hospital." Brock frowned at that ending sentence. "Alright Ash. I'm going out too. I have to take care of things. And stuff to check out." Brock said getting his travel pack. "What kind of things?" Ash questioned looking at Brock. "Stuff." Brock retorted staring down at Ash. "What kind of stuff?" Ash repeated looking back at Brock with questions. "Just stuff. See ya later. I'll see you at the gym later." With that Brock walked off.

Ash stopped by the pokemon center and Ash went to the phone. He instantly called Professor Oak. Ring ring ring. It was picked up shortly after by Professor Oak. "Oh! Ash! Good to see you. I have your pokemon that you've captured. Great job my boy!" The elder man said with a smile. Ash gave a grin at this. "Yeah. Thanks Professor!" The man nodded looking on with a clear smile then cringed, "Your Beedrill almost stinged me though. Your Sandshrew is most adventurous and your Clefable is very charming. Speaking of that, I want to talk to you sometime about how you got such a pokemon." Professor Oak said the end with a smile then ending with a frown. The man in turn looked intently at Ash who decided the wall was most interesting. "Ah. Yeah." Talon cawed in laughter at his trainers problem.

"I'm waiting Ash." The man questioned lifting a brow. It was like a kid getting caught putting the hand in the cookie jar. "I got her at Mt. Moon." Ash stated looking at the elder man. The Professor blinked at this, "You got her there? But most Clefairy avoid travelers." Ash looked at him confused with that retort, "You must be wrong this girl jumped in front of us without a care in the world and took to me like glue." Ash said looking very sincere. Professor Oak looked on dumbfounded by this and then shook his head. "Alright. What's the reasoning for calling Ash? I know it wasn't really to talk much with me." Ash looked sheepish at that sentence and sweat-dropped.

"I was calling for a transfer. I want to use Clefable in this battle in Cerulean Gym." The Professor blinked and then smiled, "Good thinking Ash. I'll her set up right away. Is there any others you need too?" Ash shook his head, "Only her right now. I'll trade for someone else later. In fact can you give Beedrill to my Mom? I think she would like it more then me." Professor Oak blinked at this and frowned. "If your sure. I will do as you ask." Ash smiled, "Thanks Professor. I'll send Spike my Pinsir to you. I don't need him at the moment." "Alright it's set up. Just put Pinsir into the transfer machine and I'll do the rest. Ash placed Spike's pokeball on the transfer stage.

Ash watched the transfer system in action. It teleported and got replaced with another ball in place. Ash smiled at this and picked up his Clefable's ball. He turned to the Professor on screen. "She got her safe and sound. Thanks Professor. I'll tell you how it goes. I'll also catch more pokemon and send them your way." "Alright Ash. Keep me posted." With that Ash ended the call. He released her and watched her appear.

Clefable opened her eyes and looked around. She spotted Ash and grinned, "Cle Fable!" It walked over and hugged her trainer. Ash had to laugh at his fairy pokemon antics. "It's good to see you too girl!" Talon cawed at her and she looked at the tiny bird pokemon with her head tilted. Ash smiled and then remembered, "You need a name." Clefable looked at Ash blinking cutely."Hmmmm..." He thought looking for a good name. Then it popped out. "How about Tinker. I mean your a fairy pokemon and you chant. You and your friends like to take things like the moonstone pieces. I think Tinker would be a great name for you girl." Ash said with a gentle smile. Clefable thought and went through the name in her head. She thought it over and rather liked the name. She nodded and chanted in happiness, "Fable cle fable." Ash laughed merrily. "Welcome to the team Tinker." Clefable smiled and hugged her trainer and Ash gave a smile.


Ash walked down a pathway through certain developments. He was staring at a map and glancing around to keep track of where he was going. Talon was in his usual spot sitting on Ash's left shoulder. "Cerulean City gym... Cerulean City gym..." He repeated looking around. Talon yawned and nuzzled Ash's neck. Ash continued his walk and walked around a corner, "Should be around here someplace." 'Dang... Why me and my horrible direction skills...'

Ash stopped noticing a big building in front of him. "There it is." Ash said with a look of wonder. It was a circular building with a merry go round look. It was a pink and yellow blend mixed around the roof top. The roof had a round top on it and a white Dewgong sign on the front. It had symbols of waves mixed into the building. Talon blinked at this and cawed.

The inside of the building had a big room with a giant swimming pool and a large diving board. There were people everywhere in the two stands on the left and right side of the walls watching the swimming pool with great excitement. "Ladies and Gentleman! Please welcome the stars of our show! The sensual synchronized sisters Cerulean City!" Ash looked surprised at this statement. He thought this place was a gym. Then the spotlight his the diving board after the man's sentence. It showed 3 young girls who looked to be around 13 or so. They all had different hair colors and eyes. One had a red swim suit on and had long curled blonde hair. The other had a blue swim suit and violet colored hair. The last girl had on a yellow swim suit with pink hair. They all had brown eyes and waved excitedly at the crowd of people.

Ash looked on with great wonder at this. The girls then stopped waving and got into a stance. They all jumped off the diving board and did summer salts into the water then it ended into a dive. The sisters then started to do their synchronize swimming. Ash looked at this show with great surprise. He awkwardly started to scratch the back of his head in confusion. "I thought this was the pokemon gym Talon?" Ash asked looking very unsure. Talon cawed in agreement with his trainer as he too looked confused. Ash blinked in a confused manner.

The show ended and Ash walked down the stairs with his arms crossed. His head was in a sea of confusion. His face was contorted into a frown and into a stern look. Talon looked at his trainer with worry he didn't like that his trainer had on such a serious looking frown. "I can't understand it." Ash said after a few moments in convection. As he continued on down the stairs which came to a stop at the bottom then he made a turn, "Huh?!" Ash said looking on.

In front of him was a hall full of glass windows. It had glass showing underwater scenery that most have been the pool. Ash looked on with a sense of amazement. "It's like. An aquarium. How can this be a pokemon gym?" Ash said with wonder as he walked up to the glass window seeing the swimming school of fish. He gently put his hands on the glass and looked to see what type of species there were. Talon looked on with Ash seeing the school with great interest.

Just then Ash heard voices coming along his way. He turned and stopped the Cerulean sisters walking down the hallway. "Daisy. The drive you did was super!" The violet haired sister said in happiness with a grin. "The practice really payed off." The sister who answered that was named Daisy answered with a nod. "Like totally!" Said the last sister with pink hair. They all started to laugh at this.

"Ah. Excuse me?" Ash interrupted their laughing while running towards them. The sisters stopped to stare at the boy and then looked at the scar on his eye. They looked a little uneasy at it and Ash frowned. The pink haired sister was the first to answer, "If you want to get an interview. You like have to call our manager." Ash froze at this then shook his head, "No! It's not that." The sister frowned and stated, "We don't do autographs." Ash then gave a look of disapproval, "I don't want one. I just really wanted to know if this is a pokemon gym." Ash asked looking at the sisters with a sheepish smile. "It sure is." The violet haired sister said with a grin. "Well, I'm looking for the gym trainer!" Ash answered with a smile. "Your looking at them!" Daisy said with a great big smile. "Huh?" Ash said with a blink as Talon soon followed his trainer in looks. "The three of us are the gym trainers here." Daisy said with excitement. "We're the sensual sisters!" The pink haired sister answered. "We're world famous!" The violet haired sister retorted with a grin.

"Huh?! But what's with all the swimming?!" Ash yelled with great confusion. Talon blinked owlishly at the sisters himself. "It's our hobby and our fans love to watch us preform!" The pink sister said with a gentle smile. "We pull our talents to make a big splash!" The violet sister answered with a goofy smile. The sisters all then laughed with straight up creepy chuckles. Ash felt very uneasy at that retort and sweat-dropped. Talon joined his trainer listening to the sister's laughter. "Uhh..."

The sisters and Ash were beside the pool later. "Come on!" Ash said with narrowed eyes looking hard at the three sisters. His hollow brown eye looking like it was peering into their soul the sisters felt. "I challenge all of you!" Ash shouted with his hands clenched looking hard at them. Talon screeched in agreement with his trainer. The sister's laughed awkwardly and looked elsewhere.

"Um." "Um..." "Ummm..." They all answered to each other and looked at Ash with uneasy looks. "What?" Ash said noticing the look on their faces. Talon blinked at this and wanted to hear their answer as well. "Um. We don't feel much like battling anymore." Daisy said with her hands behind her back in a relaxed position. "What to you mean?!" Ash shouted looking on shocked and sweat-dropped at this sisters retort. "We just got beaten 3 times in a row by kids from this nowhere place called Pallet town." The violet sister said looking at Ash with a annoyed look. Ash froze after hearing that groaned after hearing that, "Not again..."

"It was just one defeat after another." The violet sister said gesturing her hands at this. "My eyes where spinning from all the losses." The violet sister continued and sighed. "We like had to rush all our pokemon to the pokemon center." Daisy said looking at Ash with a frown. "This is the only one left." The pink sister said holding up a pokeball. She released it and out came the pokemon a Goldeen. Ash sweat-dropped at that. "You mean all you have is a Goldeen?!" Ash yelled in surprise looking at the jumping goldfish pokemon. He watched it get returned from the pink sister. "If it would evolve into Seaking then we could use it. But all it can do now is it's horn attack." The violet sister stated with a sheepish smile. "So there's like no point in battling." Daisy said. "Now instead of having matches. We have time to make ourselves more beautiful then ever." The pink sister said with a smile.

"Oh." Was all Ash could say after hearing these remarks from the sisters. He then frowned afterwords. Talon looked at the sisters with disapproval after seeing his trainers face. The sisters looked at his expression and then looked at each other. Daisy was the one to answer, "I know what you want." She then turned and looked towards the pool. "Seal!" Daisy clapped her hands. Coming out of the pool was a white seal. "Seal!" It said coming over to the sisters. It brought it's tongue out and there was a badge on it. Daisy took it and walked over to Ash, "The Cascade Badge! This is what you want right? You can have it." Daisy said giving Ash a smile. Ash blinked at this and looked at the sisters uncertainly.

"Thanks. I'd rather earn my badges." Ash retorted looking at them with a faint frown. Talon cawed and nodded at his trainers response. "Take it! A badge is badge." Daisy said looking intently at Ash to take the badge from her. Ash looked down at the floor after hearing that retort and frowned. He sighed and walked over to them, "Ugh." Talon frowned at this but agreed that there was nothing more his trainer could do. "Here." Daisy said holding the badge in front of Ash. He lifted his hand and was about to grab it when.

"Hold it right there!" A young female voice shouted angrily. "Misty?!" Ash yelled turning to look at his female friend in shock. Talon cawed out gently at the sight of the red haired girl. Misty jumped off the rail and landed in front of the pool deck with them. "Alright Daisy. If you don't want to battle him. I will." She said looking at Daisy intently. Ash blinked at this in shock then shook his head to shout, "What do you mean?" He asked looking at Misty with a uneasy look.

Misty smirked, "I'm a Cerulean City trainer too." Ash blinked and looked at Misty with great shock. Talon dropped his beak in shock mirroring his trainer. "I'm the 4th sensual sister!" She shouted with a serious look on her face. "There are only 3 sensual sisters and 1 runt." The violet sister retorted. Misty turned to her and growled. "So little sister it's a surprise to see you back so soon." Daisy retorted looking at her younger sister. "That little girl always running her mouth said she wouldn't come back till she said she was a great pokemon trainer. Wasn't that you?" The violet sister said with a giddy smirk. Misty froze and gave a slight frown, "I guess, I did say something like that when, I left." She said looking away from her sisters uncertainly.

Ash watched the proceedings uncertainty. Talon on his trainers shoulder could tell Misty wasn't to keen seeing her nest mates. "So that's why Misty was so dead set on getting us for not coming here." Ash said looking at Talon in question. Talon looked at his trainer and nodded his answer as well. Ash gave a faint grin and petted Talon's chest feathers in response.

"Misty. You left here pretending to become a pokemon trainer because you couldn't compare to us. Because we're obliviously more talented and beautiful then you are!" The pink sister said with a grin and laughed along with her violet sister in toe. Misty frowned and clenched her fists hearing her sister's response and laughter. She bite her lip. "Uh oh." Ash said watching the actions Misty seemed to make and he suddenly wanted to get away from this. Talon gripped his shoulder in response to that.

"That wasn't the reason!" Misty shouted into her sister's faces. Daisy looked unimpressed, "Then, I guess the reason you came back because you couldn't make it as a pokemon trainer." She said with a sigh. Misty frowned and zoomed forward with her face to Daisy's, "It wasn't my idea to come back here! The only reason, I came here was because he wanted to come!" Misty stated pointing to Ash. Who the boy in question frowned at hearing his friends response to that. "Well he's totally not someone I would choose for a boyfriend. Though I have to say his scars really do make him look very handsome and strong. If he were just a little older it would be a different story all together. But your no prize yourself." Daisy said looking Ash up and down. Ash blushed in response of that statement. He brushed his hand to his eye feeling the scars. Talon cawed and nuzzled his trainers cheek afterwords. Misty blushed at that she knew Ash was cute but seemed not all together, "He's not my boyfriend!" She shouted with a huge blush.

"If, I battle him it'll prove, I'm not a quitter and I'm just as good trainer as you 3." Misty shouted looking at her sister Daisy intently with her hard pressed blue eyes. "Well you are the only one of us with pokemon that can actually battle." Daisy said thinking about it and ending the sentence with a small smile. Misty smirked at that. She ran up to Ash and pointed at his chest, "Alright Ash. Are you ready to rumble?!" Ash blinked at this response seeing his friend with fire blazed in her eyes. He gave a sheepish grin, "Oh. Yeah?" She gave a smile afterwords, "Good." Ending the seriousness with a gentle grin. "Um... Before we battle Misty. Can I let Mystic swim around in the pool? I want to let her out sense this pool would be great for her. I usually train her in rivers, ponds or any small water beds near camp. This place would be a great water area for her to stretch in." Ash said looking at Misty with uncertainty. Misty blinked at this question and turned to her sisters who blinked in turn, "As long as she doesn't provoke the others in the pool it's fine by us." The answered with a small grin seeing the boy's face convert into a smile. He really did look handsome with the scars on his face they noticed.

"Alright girl! Come on out and enjoy the pool!" Ash said as he threw his Magikarp into the water. Mystic appeared soon afterwords and gave a high bellow. "Karp!" She jumped in and popped her head out of the water. She gave a sigh in bliss and then saw her trainer. "Karp kar Magi karp." She said swimming up to the pool front. Ash gave a gentle smile seeing her greetings for him. "I'm glad you like the water girl. I hope you enjoy yourself ok? I'm gonna battle Misty. I want you to have some fun." He said looking at his fish pokemon. Mystic blinked and gave a nod understanding her trainer. She knew she wouldn't be much help with him at the moment. She karped at this and looked down. "Don't be so down girl. I know you will be a sight to behold in battle." Ash said looking at his Magikarp. He leaned over and stroked the top of her head. Mystic gave a happy rumble at this. Ash then told her to have fun and the Magikarp soon started to swim off. Ash brushed off his jeans and stood up. He turned to see all the sensual sisters smiling at his interaction with his Magikarp. "Like. That was so cute." Daisy said with a giant smile. "You were like so nice and a gentleman to your Magikarp." The pink sister stated. Ash blinked and soon blushed at her words, "Ah..." The sisters laughed and Talon cawed and nuzzled his trainer happy to see his poke friend being happy.

The battle with Misty soon got ready. Both him and her were in the middle of the pool. They were on stepping blocks. In the pool where a few other blocks that were yellow floating. Misty was on the east red block and Ash on the west red block. "Alright Ash. If you want that Cascade Badge then you have to beat me!" Misty shouted and ended her sentence with a smirk. "No problem. It'll be my pleasure." Ash retorted giving himself a small grin. Talon cawed at his trainers response hoping for a good fight. "Not this battle boy." Ash said looking at his Spearow. Talon screeched at this, "Your a flying type. This wouldn't go well with you. You know that right." Talon froze and cawed silently in sadness. Ash gave a sad smile, "Maybe next time." With that he patted Talon on the head and turned to Misty. "So how many pokemon?" Ash shouted wondering the battle type. "2 against 2 works for me!" Misty yelled in a serious tone.

Ash nodded in her response, "You got it." With that he reached his hand to his belt. He found the pokeball he wanted. "Alright Gem! I choose you!" He threw his pokeball and it hit the block floating in the pool. It released his Shellder. It cooed at being released. "It that's the case! I choose Staryu!" Misty shouted and released her shellfish pokemon. Ash blinked at that pokemon and went inside to get his pokedex.

Pokedex Staryu: The core of this Water Pokémon shines in a rainbow of seven colors, a core that is valued by some as a type of jewelry.

"Oh." Ash grimaced seeing the starfish pokemon. Talon winced at that knowing his trainer was in for a hard battle. "Wow. Leave it to a girl to show off her jewelry." Ash stated afterwords with a laugh. "Quit stalling! And let's get this show on the road!" Misty shouted waving her arms in gesture. Her sisters watched on the sidelines chattering against once another. "Do you think could really Misty win?" The violet sister said looking on at the battle frowning. "Like in her dreams maybe." The pink sister retorted after hearinng her sisters remark. "Seal." Their seal pokemon said trying to interupt their sibling talk.

"Gem! You can beat that Staryu! Use Tackle and follow it with a Icicle Shard afterwords!" Gem shrieked and jumped into the air. She flew downward to Staryu's block and hit the starfish head on and fired her ice shards. It hit Staryu full on and it fell back on it's block. Misty shouted, "Staryu counter attack!" The starfish got up and jumped it started to spin towards Ash's Shellder. "Gem! Use Withdraw and hit it with a Aurora beam!" Staryu smashed into Gem and it only hit her shell. She popped out and fired the beam. Staryu groaned in pain. "Good girl Gem! Your doing great!" Ash shouted with encouragement to his Shellder.

"Staryu water gun!" Misty shouted narrowing her eyes at this. She wasn't expecting Ash's Shellder to be this strong. Then she remembered how many times he went to train away from her because of his Pinsir. She had to smile inside at that thoughtfulness Ash did knowing she was scared of bugs. Then she remembered her battle. Her Staryu jumped into the water soon after to command. It sprayed over to Shellder. "Gem use Withdraw!" Gem retreated into her shell after the water gun. :In that case! Use Brine now!" Gem popped out of her shell and released a typhoon of water. It sped towards Staryu and hit it with a massive waterfall attack. Staryu was hit badly from this. "Oh know Staryu's really hurt!" Misty shouted in worry looking on with concern to her Staryu. "How can you tell it doesn't have a face?" Ash asked looking on confused. "It's because I'm sensitive to others feelings!" Misty shouted in a confient remark. Ash narrowed his eyes at that and growled, "And I'm not?!" He was really sensitive with his pokemon. Talon showed it to his trainer by nuzzling him and Ash quickly stroked his chest feathers. "Thanks boy." Ash whispered to his Spearow who nodded in return. Seal clapped on the side lines for both members of the battle. It mostly clapped for Misty sense it really liked the battle.

"Staryu! Shake it off!" Misty shouted pointing to the water. Staryu jumped into the water and popped out it still looked pained but looked a little recovered. Ash growled at this, "Gem! Use Protect!" Gem cooed at that and did her defense. "Staryu jump in the water and use Tackle!" Misty shouted to her starfish. It jumped in and started to come out of the water hitting the Shellder at different sides while spinning around. Gem sat waiting for trainers command using Protect. "Misty's totally awesome." Daisy said with a smile watching her sister with respect in her eyes. "Misty didn't really get the looks in the family. I guess she had to get some talent." The pink sister retorted watching the battle admitting her sister was a good trainer. "Gem! Use Ice Beam!" Ash shouted after seeing an opening in Staryu's attacks. It hit Staryu in a second who was frozen stiff.

"Oh no! Staryu!" Misty yelled looking at her pokemon with worry. "Return!" She said pulling out her pokeball which returned her frozen starfish. "You did great Staryu." She whispered gently to her pokeball and put it away. Her eyes narrowed at Ash. "Just because you won against Staryu doesn't mean you'll win!" Misty shouted at Ash with anger. Ash lifted a brow, "Oh yeah?" Misty frowned at that. "Misty calls Starmie!" She threw her next pokeball and it released another starfish with more arms. It was purple. Ash narrowed his eyes at the site, "Gem be really careful about this." His Shellder shrieked at her trainers response. "Starmie use Tackle attack!" Misty shouted at her starfish angrily. "Gem! Use Supersonic and follow by Aurora Beam!" Ash shouted. Gem shrieked and released her sound wave. It echoed across the water and Starmie froze and started to spin like crazy. Gem then jumped and fired her Aurora beam at the starfish. It was an instant hit and it went flying into a wall. "Oh no! Starmie looks really hurt!" Misty shouted in concern. The battle was about to come to a close when everyone heard a rumble.

The wall smashed and rolling out of the smoke was a green tank. Everyone went to stare at it in great surprise. "Check out that machine!" The violet sister said blinking in surprise. "Who invited the party crashers?" Daisy asked seeing the tank in their gym. "Sorry to break in on you ladies." Came a voice who Misty and Ash saw was Jessie from Team Rocket. "Allow us to introduce ourselves." They heard James voice afterwords. The Rocket Members came out of the tank while they were talking and stared at their audience of kids.

Jessie: Prepare for trouble!

James: Make it double!

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!

James: To unite all people within our nation!

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!

James: To extend our reach to the stars above!

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight!

Meowth: Meowth! That's right!

After the motto everyone stared the Team Rocket members. "The water pokemon have the advantage underwater." James stated looking at the pool with great intent. "But if we steal that water away." Jessie said with a grand smirk. "The pokemon are ours for the taking!" James answered with a greedy smirk. "And Meowth knows just how to do it!" Meowth yelled pointing directly at the water. He hit a button and released a giant vacuum hose.

"What are they trying to do?" Daisy said watching the proceedings with confusion. Everyone widened their eyes seeing the vacuum though. It went into the water with great force. Ash watched the process with worry. They watched the vacuum started to suck up the water. "A massive vacuum and a giant hose. Huh. Team Rocket were the robbers who broke into that store back there! I should have realized that it was them!" Ash yelled know realizing that it was them that caused the problem earlier. Talon gave a angry screech. The sensual sisters were looking distressed. "Our swimming pool!" Daisy shrieked in worry with her hands gesturing in disarray. "Their sucking it dry!" Misty yelled looking on with surprise. "That's our water!" The pink sister yelled in angry suspense.

"Right! I should give it back!" Meowth said with a smirk and brought the leaver down. It made the vacuum go in the air and it released the water. It sprayed the water right at them. It hit Ash and the sensual sisters with great force. Talon got off of his trainers shoulder just in time, but watched him get washed away with water in worry. They all screamed at this. Gem shrieked seeing her trainer in distress. The shrieking caught Ash's Magikarps attention.

"You got to get the pokemon!' Misty shouted being pulled away in the water. She was really worried what Team Rocket would do to the gym's water pokemon. "Like. What about my hair?!" Her violet sister shouted in worry. Misty looked disgruntled at that. "Alright! Now's the time to suck them up!" Meowth stated and lifted the leaver up again. The vacuum stopped spraying and went back into the water. Everyone was back on the land except for Ash who was still caught in the water. Seal was in the water with him and was been sucked into the vacuum hose sense he was closer. "Seal!" The seal pokemon shouted in nervousness. "Like come back Seal!" Daisy shouted in worry. Seal was then sucked up by the vacuum. Ash was screaming at the sight while being in the water about to get sucked up next by the vacuum. Talon looked on horrified that he couldn't do anything about and screeched.

"Ahhh!" Ash yelled noticing he was almost to the hose. He frantically started to swim away from it. Gem shrieked on land noticing her trainer in the water. Mystic watched it all with great worry. When she heard Ash's scream she instantly felt a huge part of her cry out. 'No one sucks up my trainer!' Mystic thought and a force surged over her. She started to swim towards her trainer. Ash saw her and while frantically swimming held his hand out. His Magikarp tried to grab it with her mouth but Ash was sucked in from the hose. Mystic froze and the power surged through her making her to glow. The sensual sisters watched on with amazement watching the Magikarp evolve. "Wow." Misty said in wonder looking at her friend's new Gyarados.

The newly evolved Gyarados roared and went underwater and hit the hose with great force. It released her trainer and Seal. They swam to the surface and took a huge breath. "Ah." Ash grunted and panted realizing he almost drowned. Then he felt a long line of scales swept under him and he was lifted into the air. He looked down to see he was on the head of a Gyarados. "Wha?! A Gyarados?! Where did you come from?!" Ash shouted looking at it with amazement. It rumbled and looked at Ash on her head with gentle eyes that looked familiar. "Mystic?" Ash said cautiously and the Gyarados rumbled again with a nod. Ash gave a huge smile, "Wow girl. Your magnificent. I almost didn't recognize you." The Gyarados roared with happiness then frowned looking down at Team Rocket. The Rocket members looked at the giant sea snake pokemon with great fear in their eyes.

"Mystic! Hit them with a Dragon Rage!" The Gyarados roared this in agreement and released her massive attack. It hit the Rocket Members who were sent flying. "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" They all shouted with flying away from the gym and became a speck.

The machine was still on and the others watched with worry incase Ash might fall off. Mystic looked down at the vacuum hose and roared. Ash noticed this to and shouted, "Mystic use Aqua tail!" The Gyarados obliged at this and hit the tank with great force that sent it flying. The sensual sisters all yelled in happiness cheering on the side lines.

Ash came over riding on the head of his newly evolved Gyarados. Mystic leaned down to let her trainer down off her head. When Ash got to the ground and got off her he admittedly turned around and hugged her face. "Oh Mystic! Thank you for saving me!" Ash shouted with a huge smile hugging his sea snake. Mystic rumbled and with her tongue licked Ash's face. He laughed at this and rubbed his cheek against her scales and she rumbled at her trainers actions. The sisters watched with gentle smiles. "Wow. He is totally in tune with his Gyarados." The pink sister said with wonder watching the scene with wide eyes. "It's not everyday you see someone that affectionate with a Gyarados." Daisy said in amazement seeing the boy not at all scared of his Gyarados. Misty had a proud grin on her face. "Way to go Ash." She felt something land on her left arm and looked. There was Ash's Spearow sitting on her arm who in turn cawed at her softly. "Oh Talon. Nice to see that you got to safety." She said with a smile as she stroked the tiny bird pokemon softly. He nipped her fingers gently and looked over at his trainer. She looked over to Ash to seeing him smiling like there was no tomorrow cuddling his Gyarados. He and Mystic's interaction looked so cute if it wasn't for the fact that Mystic looked like she could eat your face. Then Misty froze for a second and looked angry.

"Hey! We never got to finish our match!" She said remembering that Team Rocket interrupted their battle. Ash stopped stroking Mystic's scales who rumbled in sadness that he stopped. "Oh yeah. And I was just about to win it too." He said thinking about it as he absentmindedly petted the crown of his Gyarados who gave a happy rumble to be petted again. Much to the amusement of the 3 sensual sisters. Misty gave a frown at his response, "What?!" Her sisters jumped into their conversation trying to sooth their sister's fiery temper. "You could say that your match had to be postponed. Like do to drain?" Her violet sister said pointing at the logic with a nervous smile. "At least no body lost?" Her pink sister retorted trying to sooth things over. "I wanted to win." Misty said sadly with her hands on her hips. Ash looked down at that. Mystic stopped rumbling and saw her trainers expression.

"I guess, I'm not going to get that Cascade Badge." Ash whispered looking down then felt his Gyarado's mouth nudging him to be fine. He smiled at her kindness and petted her face. "Wrong." A voice interrupted his thoughts and he turned to look at Daisy who answered. "We're giving this badge to you." She said with a smile and showed him the teal tear shaped badge. "Huh? But I didn't win the match." Ash said looking at the sisters confused. "How come he gets the badge?! He didn't win." Misty said looking upset but also happy on the inside her friend got the badge. "His Gyarados like totally saved us all." Daisy said looking at the giant sea snake who blinked at her and turned back to the 2 young kids staring at her. "He was also doing really good in that fight with his Shellder. If those to creeps didn't like crash your battle he would have won." Daisy said staring at Misty who looked down knowing it to be true. "Take the badge Ash. You deserve it." She said with a smile looking at the boy with the scar. Ash blinked and smiled gently, "Gee. Thanks." He reached up and took it softly. He held it to his face and smiled, "I'll take it!" Mystic gave a happy roar and Talon on Misty's arm screeched in happiness.

Ash and Misty were later standing outside the Cerulean gym in front of Misty's sisters. Talon was resting on his trainers shoulder preening his hair sense he was so worried about him earlier. "Geez Talon! I'm fine. You can stop now." The Spearow ignored his trainers words and continued to the sisters amusement seeing the interaction. "Misty you just keep on trying to becoming a pokemon trainer." Her pink sister said with a smile. "You might as well be good at something! Cause you'll never be stars like us." She said with a laugh. Misty got a angry look on her face as her cheeks puffed up, "You keep that up and you'll be seeing stars!" He yelled out angrily. Her 2 other sisters sweat-dropped, "Chill out." Her violet sister retorted in a truce stance. "Misty be careful. You know we love you." Daisy said softly looking at her little sister with a smile. "Yeah." Misty answered gently looking at all her sisters who in turn smiled at her.

"Ash!" A voice yelled and they all turned to see Brock running towards them. "Hey man!" Brock shouted getting close. "Hey Brocko!" Ash retorted with a smile seeing his older guy friend again. Talon screeched in greeting. When Brock got there he smiled and asked, "How did it go?" Ash gave a happy smile and lifted his new Cascade badge. "See for yourself!" He stated proudly. Brock nodded at this, "That's great Ash!" He said with a smile. Ash then got a big goofy smile on his face. It made him look cute with his scar kinda standing out. "Hey Brock! You won't believe it but Mystic evolved!" He shouted in happiness with gesturing his hands everywhere. Brock quirked an eyebrow, "Mystic?" Then Ash froze, "Oh. I don't think, I showed you her. She was my Magikarp." Ash said looking at Brock sheepishly. Brock laughed then froze, "Wait. Was?" Ash smiled at that response, "Yeah she evolved in Gyarados." He said with a big grin. Brock stared at Ash unbelievably, "You have a Gyarados?!" Ash gave a smirk, "Yeah. I do. Isn't it amazing?" He said with total happiness. Brock stopped at his words and saw his friends face. He had to smile at the giddy look on Ash's face. "Yeah that sounds great." Brock said with a caring smile. The sensual sisters smiled at the boys talk.

"Oh Ash. Wait a minute." The violet sister said remembering what she got for the scar-ed boy. Ash turned and looked at the violet girl in question. She smiled and walked over to Ash. She pulled out a black box and handed it to him. Ash blinked and looked at the girl curiously. Misty and Brock leaned over his shoulder. Talon stared at the box in wonder. "Come on like open it." The pink sister retorted with a smile. Ash blinked and took off the lid. Inside was a blue stone. Misty went wide eyed, "A water stone?! Why is he getting one?" She said with wonder and in question. The sisters smiled, "It was the least we could do after he saved our gym. I don't think just giving a badge was enough." Daisy said with a smile looking at the boy. Ash smiled at the sisters generosity, "Thank you all." They all nodded at him. "You can use it on your Shellder. It looked powerful already so with this it can reach it's full potential." The pink sister said with a grand smile. Ash blinked at that and gave a huge grin. "Yeah! I think I will!" With that he grabbed Gem's pokeball.

"Gem! Come on out girl!" He released his Shellder who came out with a shriek. She stood in front of Ash awaiting his orders. She saw she was in front of the gym and no opponent even if she battled already today. Ash bend over and showed her the water stone. "I got this today Gem. It's a water stone. I wanted to know if you wanted to use it to evolve?" Ash asked gently to his shelled pokemon. The Shellder blinked and then started to hop up and down happily. The others laughed, "I'll take that as a yes!' Ash said laughing at her antics. He took the stone from the box and pressed it gently on Gems shell. It engulfed her in a sea of white. He watched her shape starting to morph and grow until there before him was a Cloyster. He wasn't small anymore but almost his height. He smiled at his new clam pokemon. "How do you feel Gem." His new Cloyster gave him a grin and nodded showing it felt great. "Cloy ster." Gem said in happiness. Ash smiled and turned to the sensual sisters. "Thank you." They laughed and told him it was nothing.

'Hey Ash let's go." Brock said looking ready to leave. Ash turned and once again smiled at his Cloyster as he returned her. "Right. Let's go." Talon nodded and cawed in response ready to hit the road. Misty nodded and gripped her bag. She turned to her sisters, "See you all later!" She yelled running after her 2 boys. Her sisters looked on seeing the pack of 3 walking off into the sunset and gave each other grins.


End Chapter 5


Ash now has a Gyarados and Cloyster. I wonder what he's gonna capture or have evolve next. Review and tell me what you think should be on his pokemon journey in Kanto and other regions. Or what pokemon should he evolve. Also tell me if there should be a love interest or not. Also if there should be fanart would be a cool idea. I have some already. If anyone wants some they'll be cool for the story. Also if anyone wants to make any the more the merrier. I love that stuff.

I am not a writer. I'm an animator. So this story is a fun creation on my time. For viewers who wanted to know why there are some writing mistakes.
