The Chosen Aura of Kanto chapter 2
Previously: the Eggs hatched into Riolu and Golett. Ash and them trained for several months using the info on the pokedex he got from Professor Oak the day after they hatched.
Intro: Ash is now nine years old, he has been training Riolu and Golett for about eight months now.
Beep . . . Beep . . . Beep! "Ugh, stupid alarm clock" Ash grumbles as he gets out of bed and ready for the day. Ever since he got Riolu and Golett, Ash had been spending his mornings differently then he used to. Now he meditates with Riolu for an hour then he leaves for Professor Oak's. In exchange for helping out around the ranch, the professor had been helping Ash learn how to take care of Riolu and Golett, since they were different types and had come from foreign regions. Once the professor thought that Ash new everything he needed and a little bit more about his two Pokémon, he started teaching him about the Kanto region Pokémon. He learned the basics incredibly fast, and had then learned more in-depth things like abilities, move tutoring, how to care for each type, and a little bit of emergency Pokémon medicine. (Nothing major but enough to last till they can get to a Pokémon center.) He had also started to learn how to cook, and proper manners from his mother. He had never been more afraid then the day he asked her to teach him how to cook. She had thought that he no longer liked her cooking after all he had stopped eating like a Snorlax for about a week before he asked. But when he explained why she almost cried over how much her baby was growing up.
Now Ash is on his way to Professor Oak's ranch. Once he walked through the door he headed straight for where the Pokémon's food was kept he then got the bowls and loaded it up onto a cart. His first stop was the lake and river to feed the water Pokémon. Then the forest Pokémon, and then the other Pokémon in the meadow. Once he was done and had returned all the bowls to where they belonged. He made his way to the library. He started reading a book about how some scientists think they could resurrect prehistoric Pokémon from their fossils.
"Man it would be so cool to have a prehistoric Pokémon on my team. Maybe an Aerodactyl, or a Kabutops, or even a Rampardos there are so many amazing Pokémon I want to catch them all!" he exclaimed then thanked God that no one else was in the library. After an hour or so he had finished the book and decided to head back into the main lab area. He saw the professor with a notebook studying something.
"What you looking at Professor?" he asked as he walked up to the professor.
"Whaa, oh it's you Ash give an old man some warning next time a heart attack doesn't sound fun." Joked the professor when he saw who had startled him.
"Sorry professor I didn't mean to scare you, but what are you studying now?" Ash apologized and asked again.
"Oh I'm just studying my notes on how the water type Pokémon behave around each other and how they interact when a human comes by." Answered the professor.
"Ok well do you have a new lesson for me to work on?" Ash inquired.
"No not today you have gotten to where you know everything you need to and a little bit more on your two Pokémon and all the known Pokémon in Kanto.
"Ok Professor I will see you later then." Ash said as he made his way to the door.
A little bit later at the Ketchum residence
"Your doing great Golett keep up the good work and you will have ice punch down!" Ash shouted encouragement to his Pokémon while he watched before he walked over to see how Riolu is doing
"Awesome Riolu your force palm is getting even stronger, soon you will be blowing up boulders with ease!" He tells his determined fighting type.
They continue to train when suddenly they hear a cry of pain, they quickly glance at each other, nod, and race off toward the cry. What they find is an Arbok attacking a little Pichu. The Pichu is shivering in freight after it fires another thundershock that does almost nothing to the Arbok. Ash knows he has to do something.
"Quick Riolu use bullet punch, and Golett use astonish!" he yelled out bullet punch hits the middle of the Arbok's crest causing a lot of pain form the super effective attack. Only to recover to be hit by Golett's astonish. Then the Pichu fires another thundershock gaining more confidence with the fact that it has help. This is the final straw for the Arbok who hisses and slithers away to find some other prey.
"Great job guys" Ash cheers for his Pokémon then he remembers the Pichu. He bends down to look him in the eyes and says, "Hey little guy are you okay?"
The Pichu nods before he falls over unconscious. Panicking he scoops him up returns his pokemon and runs for Professor Oak's lab.
A little while later in the medical area of Professor Oak's lab
"Pi Chu Pi" the little pokemon wakes up to find itself in a bed in a white room. Then he sees the boy that saved him walk into the room.
"Oh good your awake, how are you feeling Pichu?" Ash asks. Pichu just smiles and nods grateful that he was saved. "Well that good your free to go whenever your ready." Ash says as he opens the door. But Pichu has a different idea he walks toward the door and Ash then jumps up and scampers up Ash's arm to sit on his shoulder. He then nuzzled Ash's cheek.
"I think the little guy wants to stay with you Ash." Professor Oak said as he walked into the room.
"Really? It that what you want Pichu?" Ash asked. He got an enthusiastic nod in response.
"Hey Grandpa how's that Pichu doing!" someone shouted. A few seconds later in walked Gary Oak. He was once Ash's best friend, but once he learned how famous his grandfather was he become arrogant, obnoxious, and an all around jerk. Plus when he found out about Ash already have two pokemon he became jealous too.
"It seems to be just fine now Gary" his grandfather replied.
"Good cause I want it!" Gary demanded.
"I'm sorry Gary, but it seems to want to stay with Ash." His grandfather tried to explain to avoid what he knew was coming.
"But I want it, Ash already has a pokemon two in fact!" whined Gary.
"I am sorry Gary, but if I forced Pichu to go with you it would be unhappy and resent you and probably shock you a lot, so I am trying to protect you." Professor Oak tried to explain again.
"Argghh, it is not fair! I am your grandson not Ash I deserve a Pokemon this early too!" Gary shouts as he storms out of the lab.
"I am sorry about that Ash, maybe it is best if you catch Pichu now and head on home for the day." The professor suggested and handed Ash a pokeball. At this Pichu started to shiver in fear. Ash quickly noticed and asked what was wrong. Pichu pointed at the pokeball and shook its head no.
"Are you afraid of the pokeball?" Ash guessed. He got a nod in response. "Ok then just let me catch you real quick so that no one else can, and I will let you back out real quick, I promise." Seeing the honesty and conviction in Ash's eyes Pichu agreed. Ash tapped Pichu on the head with the pokeball and caught him. Then as promised let him out back on his shoulder. "there we go, well I will see you later professor." Ash said as he made his way to the door. "I won't have a lesson for you for a few days so take a break and train your pokemon and come back on Friday." The professor called out, getting a nod of acknowledgement.
A/N: Ok so I know I said that I would get to the main story of the journey soon. It should be in the next chapter so I will be setting up a poll up it will be when Ash should learn about his Aura capabilities you can see the options there. Reviews are appreciated because they are good feedback to help me improve as a writer. So please review even if it is a flame to say what is wrong with this story and why you hate it so much. It will be a big help so review.
