Last Time on Starting Things Differently:
It was the morning and everyone was in front of the tower. Ash was still being hugged at the legs by his pokemon. "I'm fine guys!" Ash shouted with indignantly. They frowned and nodded letting him go. Ash smiled and bent down to Cubone. "I remember you wanted to come with me. You ready for that little man?" Ash said with a smile. The Cubone grinned and nodded. Ash smiled, "Alright let's give you a name shall we." Ash stated. Cubone blinked at this. Ash frowned and hummed. "Hmmm... I think the name Rattle will work for you." Ash said with a grin. The Cubone blinked at Ash in confusion. Ash smirked, "When you cry your helmet rattles. Even when you evolve." Ash stated firmly. The newly named Rattle went wide-eyed at this and realized this was true. Rattle cooed and hugged Ash's leg. Ash smiled and pulled out a pokeball. "Ready?" Ash said in question. Rattle nodded and held still. Ash taped Rattle on the head and watched him get sucked in. Rattle didn't put up much of a fight and teleported away. Ash got up and hugged his egg to his chest. "Thanks again Brock for watching the egg for me while, I was unconscious." Brock smiled, "It was nothing." Ash still smiled, "Still thanks." The gang got ready to leave. "Did you catch any ghost pokemon?" Misty questioned. Ash shook his head in negative, "Nah. They are to hard to catch." Ash said with a grin.
It was then as they were leaving, Ash felt a hand on his shoulder that made him freeze. The action seemed very familiar and only one pokemon did that to him. "Haunter?" Ash whispered and turned to be face to face with the ghost pokemon. It was grinning at him and Ash was speechless. The gang looked over wondering why their friend was really silent. They freaked at the sight of the ghost pokemon. "Wahhh!" They shrieked and backed away. Ash laughed and looked to Haunter, "Why are you here? Why aren't you in the tower with the gang?" Ash asked. The Haunter smirked and looked at him. "Haunt haunt haun ter." It said pointing to his belt. "You had so much fun with me. That you want to come along?!" Ash said wide-eyed. The Haunter nodded at this and gave Ash a smile. Ash gave a grin, "This is great! We'll have a lot of fun in our travels!" Ash said laughing at the Haunter. It held up a fist. Ash blinked then grin as he held up a fist. They did a fist pump. Misty and Brock wondered how Ash knew this ghost pokemon. "So you ready to join us?" Ash said with a grin. The Haunter nodded. Ash smirked, "Alright. I already have the perfect name for you." The Haunter blinked at him. "Sly. I think the name fits you perfectly." Ash said with a grin. The newly named Sly smirked at him agreeing with the name. Ash laughed and threw the pokeball at the Haunter. It didn't put up much a fight and teleported. Ash grinned and turned to his speechless friends. "I caught a ghost pokemon. Happy now?" Ash stated. Misty stopped her quietness and glared, "What do you mean caught it?! It followed you and wanted to be caught?!"
Ash smirked and went on ahead. He looked up ahead wondering how Celadon City was gonna be like. He had a new egg and some new pokemon. He wondered what else was gonna be in store for him.
Present:
On the way to Celadon City, Ash and the gang encountered a Mankey. It didn't seem to like them all much and took to chasing them. It evolved into a Primeape and Brock got tired of the running they did to try and escape it. He used his Onix to give it a peace of his mind. When it was down, Brock caught it and realized he caught himself a new pokemon. Ash clapped him on the back saying a job well done. They continued their journey soon afterwords.
Ash and the gang were currently looking at the big buildings in awe. They traveled all the way to Celadon City. It was huge and amazing. They all then smelled these wonderful scents. Volcan twitched his nose and cooed, "Maaagby." Volcan loved the smell. Brock sniffed, "Something smells heavenly." Misty sniffed and smiled, "Perfume." She whispered. Ash saw their faces and sniffed in earnest. What he smelled made him think of his mother's garden a little. "That's a nice smell." Ash said with a sigh. He saw Brock take off towards the smell.
They found him pressed up against a window with a goofy smile. "What are you looking at Brock?" Ash said looking at Brock curiously. Brock turned to Ash with a goofy grin, "Something tells me that this is my kind of town." He stated and pointed to through windows. Ash blinked at this and peered in. He saw some attractive looking girls sitting and talking around a display table. Ash noticed it was a perfume store. "I think we should stay here a while." Brock said dreamily. Ash quirked an eyebrow at this, "Ooook?" He turned to address Misty and noticed she wasn't with them anymore. Brock taped him on the shoulder and pointed to the store. Ash looked and saw Misty being shown some perfume. Ash sighed, "I guess we can go in." Ash said hugging his egg tightly and Volcan following him at his heels.
Ash opened the door quietly till a bell on the door ringed. Ash flinched and saw the girls turn to look at him. He blushed hotly and stuttered, "I'm sorry. I was just looking for my friend Misty." Ash said in a rush. They giggled at him seeing his flustered face. "It's alright. Is Misty your girlfriend?" They said with a smile. Ash looked at them weird, "No. She's like my sister." Ash said firmly. The girls flushed at this, "Opps sorry." Ash waved them off. Ash saw Misty being a little busy checking out the perfumes and Ash decided to browse. He realized he hasn't talked to his mother in a while and thought a gift would surprise her. He then looked around the store feeling small. He picked up a smell and sniffed and sneezed.
"Can, I help you?" Asked a voice behind him. Ash turned to see a young women in a kimono staring at him in question. Ash blushed, "Sorry. I don't know the first thing there is about perfume." Ash said sheepishly. "What do you need perfume for?" The women asked. Ash looked at the women, "Well, I thought that, I would give my mother some perfume. I haven't talked to her in a while. I want show her that, I'm still thinking about her." Ash said with a blush. The women smiled, "I see. I can help you if you want." Ash looked at her, "That would be great thanks!" Ash said with a smile. He and Volcan followed the lady through the store. The women turned to them, "What's your mother like?" Ash stopped at this, "She's warm and caring." The women giggled. "I mean what does she like?" Ash blushed and looked away, "She likes to cook and loves her garden." Ash said quietly. The women smiled, "I can show you where are best garden scents are." She led them to the middle part of the store where Misty was being helped. "Can you girls show this nice young man where the garden perfumes would be. He's looking to buying one." The women said with a smile. The lady's nodded to her and looked at Ash. He gave them a sheepish wave which made them giggle again.
They led him to some different perfumes and started pulling 10 sprays of perfume. "Alright here's some of our best perfume with a garden hue." One girl said softly. "Do you want us to have it sprayed on a paper for you to smell or on your wrist?" They asked. Ash blinked at this, "I'll do the paper please." He said lifting his head a bit moving some hair. They flinched at the sight of his scar, but otherwise ignored it. Ash smiled seeing their professionalism. They pulled out the first spray, "This one has a smell of a rose garden." They said and sprayed it for him. Ash sniffed and gave a smile, "That's nice, but doesn't really fit my mother." They giggled and did the same to the other sprays. They lifted the last one and sprayed. Ash sniffed and froze. It smelled just like his mother's garden. "This is our wild flower perfume." They said seeing his expression. Ash turned to them with a smile, "I'll take that perfume. It smells just like her garden. I know she'll love that." Ash said politely. They giggled and led him to the cash register. He bought it and they wished him a good day. They watched him in the windows greeting his friend and baby pokemon. "He's a cutie!" Said one of the girls. "Yeah. I thought he was gonna turn red all over." Said the other girl. They laughed and went back to their jobs.
Ash smiled and wiped his forehead "Whew. I was so nervous!" Ash said in exhaust. Brock laughed, "All you did was smell perfume." Ash glared, "Also try not to stammer to much either. Those girls where hard to talk to." Ash said firmly. Misty frowned, "But you talk to me all the time." Ash blushed, "Well that's different. I consider you a sister." Ash said simply. Misty smiled at that, "That's nice. I consider you a brother." She smiled and hugged him. Ash smiled and returned it. "So should we head to the grass gym?" Brock said breaking the sibling hugging moment. Ash froze and nodded, "Yeah let's head there."
They looked at the grass gym in wonder. It looked like the top of a Vileplume. Ash smiled, "Let's go on in." Ash said and walked up the stairs. He went through the double doors and saw lot's of women everywhere. "Ummm. Excuse me? I would like to fight Erika?" Ash asked the lady at the front desk. The lady looked up at him and stared. She then started to giggle. "Of course you may!" She said in delight. Ash smiled, "Thank you." Ash and the gang followed her to the plant nursery. They looked at all the exotic plantlike and saw the gym leader Erika giving a gardening lesson. "Erika you have a new challenger." Erika looked up at them and smiled. Ash froze, "Your the girl from the perfume store who helped me." Ash said in shock. Erika giggled, "Yes. I'm the owner of that store and was concerned seeing a boy looking like a bull in a china shop." Erika smiled then soon after, "Image my surprise the boy just wants to get perfume for his mother." Ash blushed hotly at that. The girls giggled at his expression. Erika smiled, "Let's have a pokemon match shall we?" Ash grinned, "Yeah!"
They both stood on the other sides of the grass field. Ash nodded, "I'll go first! Naga! I choose you!" Ash shouted throwing his snake pokemon. Naga came out with a hiss. "Tangela! I choose you!" Shouted Erika. Ash grinned knowing what to expect with a Tangela having one himself. "Tangela wine whip!" She shouted. Ash glared, "Naga use Wrap attack and followed by Fire Fang!' Ash shouted. Naga dodged and wrapped her coils around the Tangela. It shrieked at this and screamed when the Fire Fang hit it. "Tangela! Use Stun Spore!" Erika shouted. It did it's attack and Naga went stunned at this. "No! Naga! Return!" Ash shouted in alarm. The Tangela soon fell afterwords and Erika returned it as well. "You did good girl." Ash said softly to his pokeball.
He put her back on his belt and grabbed Torch's pokeball. "Alright Torch! I choose you!" Ash shouted. Torch came out and screeched, "Char charmander!" Erika glared this should be easy. "Weepinbell! Go!" It came out and looked at it's opponent. "Weepinbell razor leaf!" Erika shouted. The flycatcher pokemon nodded and sent razor leafs everywhere. "Flamethrower Torch!" Torch screamed and released it's fire. Erika was in shock seeing the falling fire ashes. Weepinbell tried to dodge them. "Now use Skull Bash!" Ash shouted pointing to the flycatcher pokemon. It sent the Weepinbell flying and landing in front of Erika dazed. Erika returned her pokemon and pulled out her last pokeball.
"Let's go Gloom!" Erika shouted releasing her weed pokemon. It came out with a glum face with some drool. Ash and Torch sweat-dropped at this. Erika told it to release it's smell. It unleashed it and it spread across the whole area. Torch smelled did and started crying at the bad smell. Ash watched his Charmander fall over dazed from holding his nose for so long. Ash glared and returned his fire lizard. "You did good buddy." Ash turned and looked to his other fire pokemon. "Volcan. It's your time to shine." Ash's Magby looked at Ash and got up from where he was watching the fight. He got into the arena.
Volcan and Gloom did a face off. "Alright Volcan! Use your Fire Spin attack!" Ash shouted. Volcan screeched and unleashed it. Gloom started to freak at this, "Gloooom!" Erika went wide-eyed at this, "Gloom use your energy ball!" Gloom did so. Ash widen his eyes, "No! Volcan use your Flame Burst!" Ash shouted to counter the attack. Ash's Magby did the attack and both pokemon got hit directly. They both fell on both sides of the field down. Gloom got up dazed as did Ash's Magby. It was glaring at the Gloom. "Maaagby." It growled. "Gloom use mega drain!" Erika shouted. Ash glared, "Volcan give it a Fire Punch!" The Magby ran and went to avoid the mega drain attack. It punched the gloom straight in the face with a powerful fire punch. The Gloom went down and the Magby panted like crazy. Ash was in shock that he just won the match. "Volcan! You did it! We won!" The Magby turned to his daddy and fist pumped in happiness. Volcan soon fell over in exhaustion. Ash ran over and held his Magby in a one armed hug while the other held the egg. "You did great little guy. Your first gym battle. I'm proud of you." Ash said with a smile. He grabbed the pokeball around his neck and caught his Magby. It was time for his Magby to be in a pokeball now.
Ash turned to Erika walking towards him, "I have to say that was a great battle Ash. Not many people can brag that they've defeated my gym easily. I present you this rainbow badge." Erika said with a smile holding out the badge. Ash smiled and took the badge gently. "Thank you Erika." Ash said with a grin. Ash turned to his friends, "Check it out!" Ash said with pride. His friends laughed, "Good job Ash. That was a great fight." Brock said with laughter. Misty grinned, "It was great seeing your Magby fight. Wasn't this his first gym match?" Misty questioned. Ash smiled, "Yeah. He did great didn't he?" Ash said sounding like a proud poke parent. Everyone laughed at this. "You sound like a proud dad Ash." Misty said with a giggle. Ash blushed, "No. I don't. Tell her Brock!" Ash shouted in denial. Brock shook his head, "Don't get me into this! I hate to say it Ash, but you do." Brock said in humor. Ash pouted, "I'm just a kid!" Brock smirked, "You maybe a kid, but your a poke parent now. So your a father of 3." Ash blinked, "3? I have only Volcan and the egg. Shouldn't it be 2?" Brock shook his head again, "Counting the Cubone you caught it considers you a poke parent. So it's 3." Ash went wide-eyed at that. "I'm a father of 3?!" Ash cried out in shock. Everyone saw his panicked face and laughed.
The gang was getting ready to leave Celadon City. They turned and waved at Erika. "See ya Erika!" They said waving to her gooddbye. Erika smiled, "Good luck on your journey guys!" She shouted in happiness watching the gang leave. "So let's head to the next city." Ash said with a smile. Everyone agreed and headed onwards to the next destination.
Ash and the gang were in a new city. Ash and Misty were looking at the big sky scrappers. They looked at Brock who was carrying the map. "What city are we at Brock?" Ash questioned. Brock peered at the map closely and looked at them weird. "Umm.. Hop Hop Hop Town?" He said in a confused voice. The others blinked at him in confusion. "Hop Hop Hop Town?" They said feeling the words at the tip of their tongue.
"Arnold!" They heard a voice. Ash glanced over in question to see who was shouting that when he was grabbed into a hug. He made sure to keep the egg he was holding in safely to avoid getting hurt. The gang watched the weird women in shock hugging their panicked friend. "Where have you been Arnold! Mother's been so worried!" Shouted the distressed mother. Ash wiggled trying to get out of the lady's hold on him. He pulled away and looked at her, "Excuse me, but my name is Ash!" He said looking at her. She saw his scar and instantly knew this wasn't her son. She pulled away at this, "OH! I'm so sorry. But you look just like my Arnold." The lady said quietly. "What happened to him?" Misty asked.
They all sat in a city park on benches facing the distressed mother. "I'm so upset because my son Arnold just disappeared. He's been gone for 3 days! I can't find him anywhere." The mother said in sadness and worry. Brock frowned, "And you haven't heard from him?" The lady turned to Brock, "Not a word." Ash looked at her, "Could he have gone to become a pokemon trainer?" He questioned. The lady shook her head, "He did like pokemon of course. But he never mentioned about becoming a trainer." She said firmly. Misty looked the mother, "Don't you think he'll probably come home soon?" Misty asked. The mother shook her head again, "No. My son isn't the only child who's disappeared recently." The mother said sadly.
The others looked at her in shock. "He's not?" Brock questioned. She looked to the wall beside them. "See those posters?" Everyone looked a saw the posters. "Posters?" Ash questioned. The mother nodded, "Those are pictures of all the children that have disappeared." The women said sadly. The gang looked shocked at this. "That many?" Misty said in wonder. "This must be a pretty dangerous town." Ash said in worry. Ash smiled at her before getting up to see the posters, "It's alright. I'm sure you'll find him." Ash said sincerely. The women looked up at that and gave him a small smile, "Who ever your mother is. She must be very proud to have a kind son like you." Ash blushed and scratched his head at this statement.
They got up and looked at the posters. They talked with a Officer Jenny about the disappearances and such. Ash glanced back at the saddened mother and got hit with an image of his mother. He missed her and hoped she was fine at home.
Ash and the gang walked with Officer Jenny to find where the kids could be. They started with the pokemon center thinking other children might know where to find the missing kids. They asked the kids if they seen any of the missing children. The kids told them as much as they could which wasn't much. The kids saw Ash's egg. "Are you a pokemon trainer?!" One of them shouted. Ash grinned, "Yup!" Ash smiled. They saw his scar and tried to not ask what happened. "What pokemon do you have?" Asked another kid. Ash smiled, "I have a Fearow, Sandslash, Charmander and a Gyarados." Ash said with a grin. "I won't tell you anymore. You can see them when, I'm at the Indigo Plateau." Ash said with a smile. The kids looked at him in awe. "A Gyarados!" One shouted in shock. Another said, "I heard they are dangerous and hard to train." Ash frowned, "No they aren't that bad. I have 2 of them. I should know." The kids looked at him shocked with their eyes as big as they could get. "2?" They all whispered. Ash grinned and gave a nod.
They went to Nurse Joy. They asked her if she seen any of the missing children. She told them that she hasn't and has had her own hands full. They asked her what the problem was. She told them that the pokemon in the center was acting really strangely. She led the group to the pokemon lab in the pokemon center. They saw all sorts of pokemon in the room. She frowned, "Just look at Cubone and Oddish." They saw the pokemon looking down. Oddish's leaves were laying wilted below it. Cubone on it's stomach and groaning. Nurse Joy looked saddened and held up a Magikarp,"Even Magikarp is affected and it's usually full of life." They watched her put it on the table just to fall over. "The magic's disappeared." Misty stated. Ash frowned, "It looks like it's ready for the deli counter." Ash said in sadness. Nurse Joy pointed to the Charmander laying on a table in sadness. "That flame on that Charmander looks like it'll go out in any minute." Ash looked and pitied the poor Charmander knowing all to well on that. Nurse Joy nodded and picked up the last pokemon, "And this one has just been in terrible shape." She said sadly. She held a Psyduck. Ash blinked and knew what that was. He pulled out his pokedex.
Pokedex Psyduck: A Water Pokémon. Uses mysterious powers to perform various attacks. Psyduck constantly suffers from a headache.
Ash grinned, "It doesn't look like there's a problem with it. I learned that this pokemon are strong!" Ash said with a grin. Misty snorted, "It looks kinda stupid." She stated. Ash frowned, "You call yourself a water pokemon trainer? This guy will be a great pokemon. When it evolves it'll become even better." Ash stated with a smile. Nurse Joy smiled, "So you know how to handle tough pokemon?" She questioned. Ash grinned, "Yep! Sure do." Ash said proudly. Nurse Joy smiled, "I can also see that you are a poke parent. Are you a breeder?" She asked. Ash blushed, "Well. I'm gonna try to be a mixture of both breeder and trainer." Ash stated. Nurse Joy nodded, "That's a smart combination." Ash smiled, "Yeah."
They then continued back on subject wondering why the pokemon were acting this way. Nurse Joy explained that all this happened 3 days ago. She told them that the pokemon started getting worst and worst every day that has past. They realized that's when the children started disappearing at the time too. Officer Jenny got an idea if sleep waves were at work. Ash thought it over and called out his Sandslash, Quake. Within minutes it started to become tired and withdrawn. Ash widened his eyes and quickly returned him. That answered their question that a pokemon power was at work. Officer Jenny used a device which would led them to the pokemon who was causing all the mess.
They followed the source to a building and it took them to the top of a sky scrapper. The signal got louder and louder. It led them to a deserted hallway and they opened the door to see a mansion on a roof. Ash frowned, "What's this doing on a roof?" They quickly took off and ran across the yard and onto the mansions front porch. Ash pressed his ear to the door and pointed at it. Ash and Brock busted the door down to see a fancy party going on. Every quest looked at them all in surprise for busting in. They saw 2 pokemon sitting in the middle of the party and they glanced at them in curiosity. "What is this place?" Brock asked. "What's going on here?" Ash questioned.
A man from the party looked at them, "Are you new members?" He asked. Ash blushed, "Ah members? I don't think so." Officer Jenny answered for him, "We've been monitoring some sleep waves coming from here." The man frowned, "Sleep waves? Oh! I know." The man turned to look at Hypno. "This Hypno must have been admitting them." The man stated. Ash blinked at this and pulled out his pokedex.
Pokedex Hypno: A Hypnosis Pokémon. It carries a pendulum-like device and performs hypnotic attacks.
Ash blinked at this and stared at the golden lion like pokemon. "Hm. That explains a few things." Misty nodded and looked at the other pokemon beside it. "What's the other pokemon next to it?" Misty questioned. Ash pointed his pokedex at it.
Pokemon Drowzee: Said to be a descendant of a dream-eating tapir. It was the first Pokémon to use a combination attack like Hypnosis and Dream Eater.
Brock frowned, "I think, I get it. Drowzee is the evolved form of Hypno." The man nodded, "Yep. And our Drowzee just evolved into a Hypno 3 days ago." Everyone looked at the man in shock. They finally figured that was the same issue with the missing kids and sick pokemon. The people explained they were using the pokemon for sleep help. They weren't using medicine so they had help from the psychic pokemon to help them. Ash blinked at this. The people explained that this place was the pokemon lover's club. Ash then glared hearing the issues and saw a man fall asleep soundly to Hypno. "That's what's causing the pokemon to become very sick. It's zapping their energy." Ash said in anger. The man looked at Ash in shock. Ash released his sick Sandslash and everyone saw the damage to it. "Take a look at my Sandslash, Quake?!" It squeaked silently and licked his trainers hand when Ash lifted his head. Misty looked at them, "The same thing happened to all the pokemon in the pokemon center." The man looked deeply saddened by this, "It must be ah.." Brock had his arms crossed at this, "A side effect?" He answered for the man. Everyone looked to him for an explanation. Brock went on to explain the wave lengths being different to humans and giving a side effect to the pokemon and kids around. He said some kids might be to sensitive to the wave length which is causing this issue. Everyone thought that over and found that made perfect sense.
Misty walked over to the Hypno, "Let's see?" She looked at the Hypno and it did it's hypnosis on her. Her eyes went dazed and she stared to clap her hands. "Seal seal seal!" She shouted. "Misty?! What's the matter?!" Ash shouted in alarm. Brock looked in shock, "Misty's being controlled by the sleep wave." He answered. "We got to do something!" Ash shouted at Brock. Misty got up and shoved Ash out of the way. Ash fell to the floor while holding tightly to his egg. "Hey Misty?! Hey Misty?! Where are you going?! Misty come back!" Ash shouted getting up and hugging his egg tightly as he booked it out of there. Brock, Officer Jenny and man from the club followed him closely behind.
Misty ran into the huge park beside the mansion and keep running towards the lake in the park. Ash panted, "I can't believe there's a park this big in the middle of the city!" Ash shouted in annoyance silently cursing the creator. They followed her to a big lake area. They looked on in shock seeing what was in front of them. They saw all the missing children all around them. What made them look on was what the kids were doing. They were acting like pokemon. Ash blinked at this in shock. He felt a nuzzle on his leg. He looked down to see a young boy acting like a Nidoran. He widened his eyes seeing the boy looked a little like him. "This must be Arnold that mother was looking for?!" Ash shouted in alarm. The boy who thought he was a Nidoran looked at Ash and squeaked. It went off to the rest of the kids and continued to act the way he was. Ash couldn't believe this, "Why are they acting that way!" Ash said in shock hugging his egg. Brock frowned, "Pokemonitis." Brock stated. Ash looked to Brock in question. "Pokemonitis?!" Ash shouted. Brock nodded and explained that the sleep wave made them think they were pokemon. Ash went wide-eyed at this, "Dang and it got Misty too." Brock nodded, "Yeah."
The man watching this couldn't believe his eyes, "How on earth could a thing like this could happen?" The man said sadly. Officer Jenny went to go try to get the kids to go with her. She wasn't having any luck getting them to go with her. Everyone looked down wondering how they could fix this problem. The man perked up, "Say! I know! What if we use Drowzee to cure the children?" The man stated. Ash turned to the man, "Drowzee?" The man nodded, "Sleep. In it's dream wave lengths maybe counter react to Hypno's wave lengths." The man said. Brock smiled and nodded, "Yeah. That might just work." Ash smiled, "Let's give this a try!" He then grabbed some rope and smirked at Misty. "You'll think me for this later." He then hog tied her. Brock sweat-dropped at this, "You know she's gonna kill you when she wakes up right." Ash smirked, "That's why her hands and feet are tied." Ash singed at Brock. Brock face-palmed at this.
They were back at the mansion with Misty sitting in front of Drowzee. The man looked at Drowzee and gave it a command, "Drowzee use your dream waves and focus them to this girl." The Drowzee nodded and went to work. Misty who was still acting like a Seal was put into a dead sleep. The Drowzee then clapped his hands and Misty woke up in a snap. "Hey where am I?" She said in shock. "Geez Misty. Your looking kind of beat." Ash said with a smirk. Misty glared, "Why you-!?" She shouted and fell over. She saw her hands and feet tied. "What the hell?!" She said in alarm. She saw Ash's dark smirk and saw red, "Why you! Untie me now Ketchum! When, I'm freed your ass is mine!" She snarled. Ash grinned, "If. If your freed that is." Ash singed to her. Misty growled at him, "Your a dead man Ketchum! Dead!" Misty shouted wiggling like a worm. Officer Jenny smiled and realized that this can save the kids. Brock picked up the Drowzee and carried it to the park. Ash and Misty following soon after. Ash had gotten a mallet to the head thanks to Misty. She was proud of the that when Brock took pity on her and freed her.
They had a run in with Team Rocket till, Ash who got injured by Misty was in a pissed off mood sent them flying. He used his Fearow, Talon to Hyper Beam them away. Ash and the gang ran to the park. Ash and the gang watched the Drowzee get to work. Ash released his Sandslash to help him feel better. All the humans and pokemon started to dream. The Drowzee then clapped his hands which woke everyone up. Everyone looked around in shock and got up to go home. Quake got up and stretched. It saw his trainer and squeaked nuzzling his leg. Ash laughed and petted his head. "Arnold!" They heard and turned to see the mother from earlier hugging her son. Ash smiled at this scene. They then remembered that they needed to cure the pokemon at the pokemon center.
They were at the lab in the pokemon center watching the Drowzee get to work curing the sick pokemon. It clapped it's hands and everyone looked better then ever. Everyone got up and looked lively. Nurse Joy smiled at this, "They're all back to normal!" Misty smiled, "Sometimes, I wonder what the pokemon dream about." Ash smiled and looked to his egg, "I'd love to know that too." Brock thought about it, "They must have been dreaming about getting stronger and evolving." Misty smiled, "I dream about that sometimes too." She said wishfully. Ash smiled, "I dream of becoming the best trainer out there." Ash said softly.
Nurse Joy sighed and looked to the lone Psyduck. Brock saw this and appeared to her, "What's the matter? A beautiful women shouldn't have to much to be sad about." Brock said with a grin. "All the pokemon are better, but this one still holding it's head." She questioned. Brock smirked, "Leave it to me! Caring for pokemon is the soul purpose of my life. The reason, I exist!" Brock stated. Nurse Joy looked at him, "Then maybe you can help it." She said to him. Brock looked at Psyduck and sweat-dropped.
They left the pokemon center with Brock trying to avoid the water pokemon. "You take it Misty! Your a water pokemon trainer!" Brock said. Misty frowned, "No. Why would, I want such a boring pokemon." She said with a snort. Ash frowned and glared at Misty. "Well if you guys don't want him, I do!" Ash said firmly. He walked to the curious Psyduck looking at him. Ash smiled and bent down to his level of eye sight. "Hello. I'm Ash. Do you want to be my pokemon for my journey?" Ash said softly to the Psyduck. It looked at Ash and down at the ground. It wasn't used to be treated this nice. "I know what you suffer from and, I don't care. I know that your a wonderful pokemon Psyduck." Ash said with a gentle smile. The Psyduck looked at Ash and it gave him a beck grin. Ash leaned forward and pressed his forehead to Psyduck. The Psyduck to the same. They did a cute headbutt to each other. Ash smiled and pulled out a pokeball, "I need a name for you." The Psyduck looked at him. "Einstein." Ash said firmly. "Your psychic powers are strong and it's from your brilliant mind!" The Psyduck looked at Ash and it hugged his leg. Ash smiled and rubbed the top of it's head. He gently pressed the pokeball to it's forehead and watched it get captured. Ash smiled and got up. The gang looked at Ash. "Why did you catch such a weird pokemon?" Misty questioned. Ash looked at her weird, "Don't you know when a Psyduck evolves it turns into Golduck?" Ash stated. Misty froze, "That thing becomes that?!" Ash stood still as she yelled, "Yes. He'll be a great team member." Ash said with a smile. Misty growling at missing out on a cool pokemon.
"Let's head to the next town!" Ash said with a grin. Everyone started heading to their next destination. Ash looked down at the egg in his hands, "I can't wait until you hatch little one. I know we'll be a great team." Ash said putting the egg to his cheek. It shifted to him and Ash smiled.
End Chapter 16
Ash now has a Psyduck. Brock has a Primeape. I wonder what he's gonna capture or have evolve next. I wonder what pokemon the gang will capture 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 that'll be cool for the story. Also if anyone wants to make any the more the merrier. I love that stuff.
Oh yeah. He'll catch more pokemon in the next chapter. It's a short chapter, but the next one will be longer.
