The Chosen Aura of Kanto chapter 3
Previously: Ash saved a Pichu (canon Pikachu) he caught Pichu much to the anger/jealousy of Gary
Now: it is the night before the start of Ash's journey so he has been training Pichu for almost a year, and Riolu and Golett for almost 2. Now on with the story!
We find Ash sitting siting on his bed with his pokemon out watching the elite four match between Agatha and Bruno. "Wow that was awesome how Agatha's Gengar took out Bruno's Onix with a combination of shadow ball and sludge bomb! Ash exclaimed." Only for his mother to yell up at him that it was time for bed or he would be late to meet the professor.
"Okay mom!" Ash hollers back, and then he turns to his pokemon. "Okay guys time to sleep pokeball or not?" Golett and Riolu choose Pokeball knowing that one day they will be too big to sleep in their trainer's room so they might as well get used to sleeping in their pokeballs. Pichu adamantly shakes his head no and jumps on the pillow of the bed causing the others to chuckle at his antics.
Next morning
"Tent? Check. Sleeping bag? Check. Matches? Check. Food both pokemon and human? Check. Cooking utensils? Check. Two canteens of water? Check. Clothes? Check. Pokemon medical supplies? Check. Pokedex? Check. Extra pokeballs? Check. Okay I think I got everything I need." Ash says as he double checks everything in his backpack.
"Alright sweeties, off you go to meet the professor." His mom says as she fights back the tears. "I will meet you there before you leave okay so don't rush off without a final goodbye or I will hunt you down and ground you from your journey." She says with a little bit of teasing/seriousness in her voice. Ash just laughs know that she would and that he wouldn't leave without a final goodbye.
"Ok mom I will see you there he shouts as he runs out the door with Pichu on his shoulder, holding on like it was the last bottle of ketchup.
Later at Professor Oak's Lab
"Hey professor what's up, why did you want to see me?" Ash asked as he walked through the door of the lab that he had walked through so many times he was going to miss it. Ash wasn't going to come get a starter pokemon since there were four starting trainers and only three starters. So since he already had three pokemon he volunteered to not get one of the Kanto starters.
"Oh I just wanted to give your pokedex and upgrade and wish you good luck on your journey my boy." He explained as he held his hand out for Ash's pokedex. "This will take just a moment Ash." The professor said as he inserted the pokedex into a computer there was a couple of lights flashing and some beeping, and then out popped the pokedex. The professor handed it back to Ash then said, "there now your pokedex has all the extra capabilities that I didn't give you to start with."
"What do you mean professor?" Ash asked confused
"Well Ash you see when I gave you that pokedex I gave you a National Dex. However I didn't give you the TM/HM teacher, map of all regions, a map of where certain pokemon are most likely to be found, banking system, camera, advice for teaching certain moves, and pokemon transporter." Professor Oak listed off while Ash's eyes got bigger with each one especially the last couple.
"Wow Professor Thanks this will be a big help thanks!" Ash exclaimed as he held it gingerly.
"You're welcome Ash, it is only fair Gary and the others got those things too, but only you have a National Dex. Now if I know your mother she is probably starting to wonder if you left without a final good-bye and starting to get ready to hunt you down, so off you go. Good luck and do your best to fill the pokedex."
"I will professor!" Ash shouted while running out the door afraid of what his mother might do for taking this long.
"Ash there you are I thought you forgot, for a while there." His mother said with a relieved look on her face.
"How could I possibly forget you mom!" Ash cries out indignant to try and placate his mom.
"Ok well before you get going here I got this for you." She handed him a wrapped present.
Ash quickly tore of the paper excited to see what it was that she had got him. "Wow a pokegear this is really cool."
"Yes and it comes with a telephone app so call home often ok." His mother said with a pleading tone in her voice.
"Of course mom that why it's so cool, I will always be able to talk to you and you can call me." Ash told his mother trying to stop her from crying and starting a scene.
"Ok young man off with you before I change my mind, I love you, and don't forget to change . . . "she started to say, till Ash cut her off with.
"Mom I know I am more responsible and mature then I was two years ago!" He exclaimed embarrassed.
Edge of route one and pallet town
"Well this is it Pichu, you ready?" Ash asked the little mouse on his shoulder.
"Pi chu chu Pi" is the answer he gets with a determined nod.
"Well then let's go!" he yells as he takes off running.
A little bit later somewhere on Route 1
"This seems to be a good spot to stop to train, don't you think so Pichu?" Ash says as they step into a clearing he got a nod in response. "Okay then come on out guys!" he exclaimed as he threw his pokeballs in the air releasing Riolu and Golett. "Okay guys we are gonna train some more cause you guys are so close to perfecting those new moves." He got some enthusiastic roars and squeaks in response.
Around 3:00 in the afternoon in the clearing
"Awesome job guys I think you have those new moves mastered!" Ash exclaimed as he ended the training session. He pet each of his pokemon on the head as he congratulated them on their progress. He then filled up some bowls and filled them for them to eat after all their hard work. After they had all finished eating, Ash returned Riolu and Golett. Then they set off for Viridian City. "Hmm I looks like it may start to rain Pichu, we should hurry. "
"Pi" Pichu said as he nodded in agreement. So they took off running, to add insult to injury they had run into the territory of a flock a violent Spearow. The Spearow angry at them for being in their territory started to attack them as they ran.
"Ack this isn't gonna work we can't out run them Pichu, we will have to fight them off." Ash said as he turned around.
"Pi" Pichu said as he jumped off Ash's shoulder and got into a fighting stance.
"Golett come out and use your new move!" Ash shouted as he threw a pokeball into the air. Golett emerged and his eyes glowed blue then the gravity intensified and all the Spearow were brought to the ground. "Quick Pichu use thunder wave to paralyze them all!" Pichu jumped and unleashed a wave of electricity. "Great now Golett use thunder punch!" Ash was excited his pokemon were doing great out there, he just wished Pichu had an offensive move to help Golett out. Cause he would tire eventually with all the Spearow. Then suddenly there is a flash of white light when it dies down there is a Pikachu standing were Pichu used to be. Pikachu then unleashed a small bolt of electricity. "Awesome Pikachu you evolved and learned thundershock, keep using thunder punch and thundershock you two." Once most of the Spearow were knocked out or paralyzed Ash recalled Golett with a few words of thanks and praise. Then he and Pikachu ran to escape before the Spearow recovered.
After running for a while the rain had stopped and so had Ash to catch his breath. He then continued down route 1. When suddenly Pikachu exclaimed, "Pika chuchu" he looked at his pokemon on his shoulder to see him pointing at something in the air. When he looked up Ash saw the most beautiful site he had ever seen. Flying gracefully high above them was a bird with rainbow colored wings, and there was a rainbow following it like the tail of a comet.
"Wow, it's amazing; What pokemon is that?" Ash wondered aloud. He quickly took out his pokedex, and snapped off a couple of pictures. When the Pokemon had flown out of sight, the two companions continued on there way.
A while later on the outskirts of Viridian City
"Man I wish I had a fishing pole so we could get a water type in the family, they would be a big help for the first gym since it's a rock gym." Ash said as he walked beside a river that flowed into Viridian City. When suddenly they hear a scream from up around a bend in the river. Ash and Pikachu glance at each other then take off running in the direction of the scream. What they found surprised them slightly. There was a red head that appeared to have fallen on her back in fright. She was slowly crawling backwards away from the river and the giant Gyarados that had risen from its depths. The Atrocious Pokemon was firing Hyper Beams and thrashing about in its anger, but what made it so angry.
"We have to help her Pikachu quick use Magnet Rise then use thundershock when you get above until it faints!" Ash commanded his faithful pokemon against the rampaging sea serpent.
"Pika!" Pikachu said as he glowed yellow briefly before he flew up into the air above the Gyarados, then with the help of his Lightning Rod ability he absorbed some extra electricity from the storm and unleashed an even bigger thundershock then last time. One wasn't enough to stop the fully evolve water flying type. It turned and fired another Hyper Beam at Pikachu but with the help of Magnet Rise, Pikachu dodged it easily then fired another thundershock at the violent Gyarados, while it was recharging. This one also had the added effect of paralysing the monstrous pokemon. Taking advantage of this Pikachu fired a final thundershock at the pokemon which caused it to faint with most of its body outside the water.
Thinking quickly Ash chucked a pokeball at the downed water/flying type. It absorbed the pokemon in a flash of red and with a few shakes and a ping Ash caught his first water type. Pikachu slowly lowered himself with magnet rise till he was back on his trainer's shoulder. Ash walked up to the shaking girl and asked if she was ok.
"Yea Yea I'm fine thanks to you and your Pikachu." She replied as she got up on slightly still shaky legs. She then turned and saw that her bike had been pretty much obliterated by a Hyper Beam. "Aww my bike this sucks that was brand new and now I will have to walk." She complained.
"Well im on my way to Viridian so you can come with, if you want." Ash offered.
"Thanks it would be nice to travel with someone and not be alone all the time." She answered. "Oh and my name is Misty Waterflower, what's yours?" she introduced herself.
"My name is Ash Ketchum." He told her, they continued to talk on their way to the Pokemon Center in Viridian City.
A/N: Ok first I want to apologize for the long delay, but I had some college mid terms and other crap getting in the way. second the reasons it took three thundershocks form Pikachu to defeat Gyarados are Pikachu had just evolved and learned that move so not that powerful yet, also it is thundershock so its not a very powerful move to start with true lightning rod would have boosted it and Gyarados is 4x weak to electricity, but with just learning the move, the fight with the Spearow, the fact that it is a fully evolved, powerful, wild pokemon, and using magnet rise at the same time it took a bit of a toll on how much power was in the attack. And now for the Golett and Riolu their knew moves are gravity and magnet rise respectively.
