Chapter Forty One
As we left Ash and Dawn, Ash and Oshawott have won the Scalchop Tournament at Scalchop Island and now Ash and Dawn have eight days till they arrive at Kanto.
Day 6 (1:15 p.m.)
Ash and Dawn are relaxing on the deck playing tennis while Pikachu and Piplup are watching them as they try to score the last point and Dawn hits the ball and right when Ash is about to hit the ball, he trips and falls on the floor making him lose.
Dawn: I win.
Piplup: Piplup!
Pikachu: Pika Pika!
Ash: Good game Dawn.
Dawn: Thank you; let's go get some drinks to refresh ourselves.
Ash: Alright.
Ash and Dawn went to get some fresh drinks for them and their Pokémon.
Dawn: Hmmmm this pineapple juice is delicious. Here try it.
Ash took a zip of the juice and finds it very delicious.
Ash: Wow this is very good.
Dawn: Here Pikachu taste it.
Pikachu: Chaaaaa!
Piplup: Pip!
Dawn: You want some too Piplup?
Piplup: Piplup! (Nodded his head)
Piplup tasted the pineapple drink and it was very delightful to him.
Piplup: Pluuuup!
Ship's Captain: Attention all passenger we will be arriving at Deep Shore Island in ten minutes and we will be departing from the island at six o' clock.
Ash: I wonder what kind of Pokémon we can find there.
Dawn: The name of the island is most likely to have a lot of different kinds of water Pokémon.
Ash: Let's go get our stuff before we unboard the ship.
Dawn: Right.
The young trainers went and grab their stuff and they met Alexa who is going exploring around the island and they decided to join her in her exploration on the island to study the habitats of the island.
Dawn: (Sniff) The ocean air smells great today.
Ash: (Sniff sniff) It does smell great.
Alexa: Now let's get going up to that mountain trail and find what we can see.
The three begin walking up the mountain.
Dawn: So Alexa, what made you to be a journalist and travel around the world.
Alexa: Well it's always been my dream to become a journalist and I wouldn't be here if my sister didn't get me involved in a writing company. My sister is also photographer and the Santalune City Gym Leader, she specializes Bug type Pokémon if you are interested to compete for gym battle there.
Ash: I'm most likely will be traveling there after Dawn competes in her Pokémon Contest.
Alexa: I remember watching the Grand Festival in Sinnoh like a year ago and you came in second.
Dawn: You did!
Alexa: Yeah I also got into writing about contests since I watch you and your opponent Zoey compete.
Dawn: Wow thanks.
Ash: Hey look over there.
Alexa and Dawn turn their heads and see a spring full of Squirtles and Warturtles. Including a Blastiose in the middle.
Alexa got low and starts writing about the turtle evolution Pokémon and she starts recording with her cam strap around her head.
Someone: Hold it right there you three!
The three were startle by Officer Jenny with a group of Squirtles with her.
Ash: May we help you Officer Jenny?
Officer Jenny: You are under arrest for trying to pouch the Squirtles here.
Ash: Wait what?
Alexa: No it's not like that, you see I'm a journalist and we are just watching the water Pokémon here for research.
Officer Jenny: I'm only kidding Ash.
Ash: Wait how do you know my name?
A random Squirtle came from behind Jenny.
Squirtle: Squirtle Squirtle!
Pikachu: PIKA!
Squirtle: Squirtle Squirtle!
Pikachu: Pika Pikachu!
Ash: Wait a minute I know you.
Ash looks into Squirtle's eyes and he now remember who he is.
Ash: It's been a long time Squirtle isn't it?
Squirtle: Squirtle!
Dawn: Hey is this the Squirtle that you told me about and that he's part of Squirtle Squad?
Ash: Yeah, me and Squirtle go way back. I remember the amazing battle we have been through.
Officer Jenny: You see the other members of the Squirtle Squad are now doing better and Squirtle here wants to join you again since the rest of the squad can now focus more with or without this Squirtle.
Ash: That's great and how did you find me all the way here.
Officer Jenny: Well I gave a call to Professor Oak but it turn out to be a weirdo who was trying to hit on me and I ask for you location and that's where I come here with Squirtle.
Ash: Well that's Brock for you.
Officer Jenny: He also fell to the ground with pain for some reason.
Dawn: (Giggle) Looks like Croagunk is still giving Brock's medicine just in case he gets out of hand.
Ash: So you want to join me again Squirtle?
Squirtle: Squirtle! (Nodded in agreement to travel with Ash)
Ash: Okay then let's head back to the Pokémon Center for a transfer.
Everyone went to the Pokémon Center near the docks and Ash send over his Leavanny to Oak's lab for Squirtle's Pokéball.
Ash: See Squirtle? I kept this ball safe for you just in case if you want to travel with me again.
Squirtle: Squirtle!
Ash: Okay but before you go back in, let me introduce you to most of the Pokémon I have caught in Unova.
Ash calls out Snivy, Pignite, Oshawott and Unfezant and he introduce them to Squirtle.
Ash: Hey guy I all want you to meet my old friend Squirtle who will be traveling with us to Kanto.
Everyone greeted Squirtle and Oshawott shook Squirtle's hand and they both are getting along since they are both water types.
Oshawott: Osha Osha!
Squirtle: Squirtle!
Dawn: Looks like they are both getting along.
Ash: And this Dawn and Piplup, Squirtle. Me and Dawn are in a relationship just to let you know.
Dawn: Hello there!
Squirtle: Squirtle! Squirtle Squirtle! (Said hi to Piplup)
Piplup: Pip Piplup!
Officer Jenny gets a call and she was shock that a group of people are poaching the Squirtle evolutions up the mountain.
Ash: Officer Jenny, can we help to?
Dawn: Me too.
Officer Jenny: As long you don't get the way, then yes.
Ash and Dawn followed Officer Jenny up the mountain to stop the poachers from capturing the Squirtles.
Ash: Ahh no not them again.
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 denounces the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reache to the starts above!
Jessie: It's Jessie!
James: And it's James!
Jessie: Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth, that's right.
Officer Jenny: Are they still following you all over the place?
Ash: Sadly yes. Now give back all those Pokémon!
Jessie: Says who? Go Woobat!
James: Yamask go!
Ash: Squirtle I choose you!
Squirtle: Squirtle!
Dawn: Pachirisu spotlight!
Pachirisu: Chipha chiphaaa!
Ash: Squirtle use Water Gun on Woobat!
Jessie: Dodge and Air Cutter!
Woobat: Woooobatbat!
Dawn: Pachirisu use Discharge to protect Squirtle!
Pachirisu: Chiiiiiiph!
Ash: Thanks Dawn and Pachirisu.
Dawn: No need to worry Ash now let's get those Pokémon back.
Ash: Right, Squirtle use Rapid Spin on Woobat!
Squirtle withdrew into its shell and used Rapin Spin on Woobat!
Woobat: Wooobatbat!
Jessie: Return Woobat!
James: Yamask use Night Shade on both of them.
Both Pokémon are both hit by the Night Shade attack.
Dawn: Pachirisu are you okay?
Pachirisu: Chipah!
Dawn: I think you deserve a well rest, return. It's all too you Ash!
Ash: Right, Squirtle use Hydro Pump!
Squirtle unleashed a powerful Hydro Pump which instantly knocked out Yamask back to Team Rocket's ballon and sent to blasting off.
Team Rocket: TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!
(Ding)
Ash: The Pokémon are now free.
Officer Jenny: Well looks like Team Rocket are done for now but make sure they don't succeed in their plans Ash and Dawn.
Ash: Don't worry, Team Rocket always lose all the way so I highly doubt they never win.
Dawn: You can count on us Officer Jenny.
Officer Jenny: Okay, well I better get going and Squirtle good luck.
Squirtle: Squirtle!
Officer Jenny departed back to Kanto on her boat with the rest of the Squirtle Squad while Ash and Dawn meet Alexa back on the ship since it will be departing soon.
Alexa: So they you get to save all of the Pokémon from the poachers?
Dawn: Yeah.
Alexa: Great, well the ship is now leaving to sea.
The nest day, Ash and Dawn stop at a resort island and they have a relaxing day at the beach with the weather being clear all day. After the day has passed, they board back to the ship set sail once again after a nice long day at the beach with their Pokémon.
