Author's note:
Storymaker2 here, As some of you have probably noticed some of the words in certain places are wrong such as marble instead of mom. I apologize for that you see I use givedragon to write my stories which types what you say into a headset directly onto a page and sometimes it can mistake what I say. I will try and fix those mistakes when I can but they may still be out there . Anyway I'm glad you guys liked my idea of Ash and Red being brothers I was questioning if that was a good idea. Anway here's chapter 2 which covers episodes 1 and 2 of X and Y
Chapter 2: Welcome to Kalos
It was early in the morning in Vaniville Town and Grace was in the kitchen making breakfast. As she poured some eggs into a bowl she noticed that her daughter still wasn't up.
She sighed "Classic Serena sleeping in as always. Serena , Serena get up!". There was no response. Grace sighed again and turned to her Fletching who was standing on the kitchen counter.
"Fletching be a dear and go wake up Serena". Fletching nodded and flew upstairs to Serena's room. The door was opened just enough for Fletching to squeeze through the door and get into the room.
Once Fletching was inside he looked around and saw Serena was still asleep in her bed with the sheets covering half her face. Fletching flew over and landed on the bow she worn her hair. Serena had light skin, honey blonde hair, and blue eyes.
Fletching used peck on Serena's face abruptly waking her up. Serena's eyes shot open and her head flew up. She screamed from the pain as she tried to smack Fletching away from her face.
Down in the kitchen Grace could hear her daughters scream and smiled. "Good she is up".
Serena moaned as she saw Fletching on a small table near her bed. "Why does she keep doing this to me". Serena tried to grab Fletching from the table but the small bird flew up and landed on her head as she smacked into the table.
"Serena get down here and eat, we've got training to do".
"Aww not more Ryhorn racing". Serena sighed and went over to her room's window. She opened up the blinds and stared outside as the sun illuminated her room. "Well despite my wake-up call and soon to come Ryhorn training I think this is going to be a good day".
Elsewhere in Lomiose city airport Delia and her sons walked out of the main entrance with their bags. "Here we are boys are new home Lumiose city".
Ash and Red looked around at the city around them. They were both amazed at the buildings and the other sites around them. Ash and Red had been to several cities in Kanto but they had never seen a city like this before. The building's designs seemed much different and the landscaping was much nicer, with many more trees and bushes growing on the sides of the streets.
"This place is amazing".
Delia and her sons continued down the streets when the car pulled up next to them. The door opened and a woman in her 30s came out. The woman had dark green eyes and brown hair. She had an eye Helioptile resting on her shoulders and turned to Delia.
"There you are Delia, I was wondering when you'd get here".
"Alexa good to see you again. Boys this is Alexa she works as a journalist in the Lumiose press. She's the one who got me my new job here in the Lumiose".
"It'll be good to finally have you here working with me Delia. Hop in a give you a ride to your new apartment". Delia and her sons got in as Alexa drove down the streets.
"Alexa I've read some of your articles in the Lumiose press. I really like the trainers and Pokémon you're able to get the lowdown on".
"Thanks Red, I can already tell you two are going to love it here in Kalos".
As they continued driving Ash noticed a massive tower in the center of the city. The base of the tower was shaped similar to a pyramid with a large Pokémon symbol on it. On top of the base was a large pillar shaped part made of glass.
"Woah what is that?".
"That's the Lumiose city gym".
"It is, it looks incredible".
"It's an electric type gym and the leader has been doing exceptionally well against challengers recently. I heard you two were planning on starting your journey soon. I would suggest getting some experience before challenging the Lumiose gym leader".
"We should go see the gym leader and his Pokémon".
"We should Red, maybe he can give us some pointers on being a trainer".
After another 20 minutes of driving they reached the apartment building. The apartment complex was very large with several trees grown around it. "Here we are our new home".
Alexa stopped in the circle around driveway and let her passengers out. "I'll see you later today Delia". Ash and Red got their bags out of the trunk and walked inside the appartment building.
The interior of the lobby had brown walls with granite floors. It was furnished witha few chairs, a couch, and a few potted plants, and a counter. Sitting behind the counter was a young women working on a computer.
Delia approached the counter and said"Excuse me, my name is Deila Ketchum. I purchased an aparement here and now we're ready to check in". The woman behind the desk turned to her.
"I'll need to see your ID, your registration form for the apartment, and the receipt from the website". Delia took out the information the woman asked her for and showed it to her. The woman behind the desk looked at her computer for another minute and then took out a key.
"This is the key to your apartment I hope you enjoy living with us, the super's number should be found on the door of your room as well as the landlords number". Delia took the key and sign was to apartment 15 C on the second floor.
She walked over to the elevator with Ash and Red. "Alright on the second floor". Red pressed the two in the elevator went up. Once they reach the second floor they looked around and found apartment 15C.
"Alright we're here", Delia put the key in and open the door. The inside of the apartment was well furnished, there were windows and a balcony that gave a beautiful view of the city. Around the apartment there was a kitchen with a granite countertop, a stove, a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and oven.
In the center of the apartment there were two white chairs and a white couch around glass coffee table. "Woah, this is the apartment. How much is your new job paying?".
"Enough for this apartment" Delia said smiling. Mr. Mime brought in the box with all of the silverware and china and began placing them in the kitchen. "Alright there's two rooms upstairs that you two can use. Mine is down here".
"Alright though I don't know why we should bother unpacking, we're going to be leaving again very soon" Red said.
Ash and Red went up the staircase to the upperfloor of their apartment and saw a hallway with a door on each side. Ash went in the left door while Red went in the right. Ash's room had white walls, a blue carpet, a dresser, a desk, a closet, and a bed.
Ash set his bags down and started taking out the things he wasn't taking on his journey. Once everything was taken care of he went back down to the living room and saw a Red was already down there.
"Hey Ash I was going ahead over to prismn tower to check out the gym before we go to Prof. sycamores. You want to come?".
"Alright let's go".
Back in Vaniville Town in Serena's backyard , there was a pen set up for her Ryhorn. Serena was holding on for dear life as she sat on a saddle attached to Ryhorn's back as he jumped around bucking his legs.
On the other side of the fence Serena's mother Grace was watching her and trying to give her instructions.
"Keep it up Serena, you're doing great".
Serena screamed in terror as her Ryhorn continue to try to force her off his back. After another minute Ryhorn finally forced Serena forward and off his back. Serena plowed into the ground face first as Grace sighed and shook her head.
When Serena brought her head up her face she screamed "Mom I hate this!".
Ash and Red were walking down the streets of Lumiose city as they move towards prism tower. As they walked down the streets they saw many kinds of Pokémon they had never seen before. Pokémon like Helioptile, Litleo, Fletchling, and Furfrou.
"These Kalos pokemon are amazing, just look at them".
"I know, think of all the Pokémon we'll be able to catch that we wouldn't have been able to in Kanto".
After another few minutes they manage to reach the base of prism tower. As they walked towards the entrance a young trainer was waiting outside of the gym. When he saw Ash and Red walk towards the entrance he said.
"Going to challenge the gym leader? He won't accept your challenge unless you have four badges".
"We're not here to challenge him, all we wanted was to see him and his Pokémon. We aren't trainers yet".
"While good luck with that, this gym leader hardly ever shows himself".
The trainer walked off as Ash and Red walked inside. The interior of the gym looked completely different from the inside. The inside looked like some kind of power station. The walls were made of green metal with power converters on the walls.
"This isn't what I expected from the outside look" Ash said.
"This gym leader must be an electric type trainer".
They continued down the hallway until they reached a locked door made of solid metal. Ash tried to open the door but it wouldn't budge.
"Hello is anyone here? We want to see the gym leader". A very strange metallic sounding voice came from a speaker attached to the wall.
"Four badges are required to enter beyond this point".
"No were not here to face the gym the leader, we just wanted to meet him" Red said.
"No gym badges no entry, commencing electric shock".
"Electric shock?" Two metal electric rods came out of the wall and sent electricity through Ash and Red's bodies. The two quickly ran out of the gym as fast as they could. Once they were out of the gym they tried to catch their breath.
"That was crazy, why would that can leader do this to us?" Red said.
"I don't know".
Moments later Red saw a little girl rushing towards them. The girl looked like she was around six or seven years old. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a brown shirt, a white skirt with black leggings , pink shoes and had a yellow handbag around her shoulder.
When the girl reached them she quickly said "did you enter the gym".
"Yeah why?".
"Did you get to face the gym leader?!" She said with excitement.
"No, we're not trainers yet the gym leader electrocuted us".
"Oh no not again".
"Bonnie are you bothering these people".
Ash saw a young man who looked about his age approaching them. The young man had blonde hair and blue eyes like a little girl. He was wearing a pair of glasses, a blue jumpsuit , and a metal backpack.
"Bonnie I told you not to bother strangers".
"It's all right she wasn't bothering us, I'm Red and this is my brother Ash".
Ash and Red both extended their hands towards the young man. The young man shook Red's hand as a robotic arm extended out of his backpack and shook Ash's.
"Nice to meet you Red, Ash. My name is Clemont and this is my sister Bonnie".
"That's quite a backpack you've got there Clemont".
"My brother is the biggest science genious in the world".
"Bonnie is too modest, but I do have a love for science. Outside of that I am a pokemon trainer".
"Well It's a pleasure to meet the both of you. So if you're a trainer do you have any gym badges?".
"Well , not exactly. You see I haven't been a trainer for that long. I only have one pokemon".
"Do you mind of we see it".
"Of corse not , come on out Bunnelby". Clemont took out a pokeball and threw it forward. A small gray bunney came out and looked at Ash and Red.
"I've never seen that kind of pokemon before , what is it?".
"It's a bulbery a ground type. Show them what you can do Bulbery".
The small bunney quickly burrowed its way underground with its ears and then came back up, jumping into the air. Once airborne , Bulbery smashed the ground with bursts of mud.
"Woah that's impressive".
"Thank you , I haven't had Bulbery very long but I've been training really hard with him".
"You two don't look like you're from Kalos, did you move here?" Bonnie said.
"Actually yes, we just got here today from Kanto" Red said.
"Oh well welcome to Kalos, I think you guys are really going to like it here", Clemont said.
"Well so far we do" Ash said.
Ash looked at his watch and saw what time it was.
"Geeze Red we'd better get going. We're suppose to meet professor Sycomore in 15 minutes".
"Right , well it was nice meeting you two".
"Wait you're going to see professor Sycamore the pokemon researcher? Can we come with you", Bonnie said.
"Bonnie" Clemont said.
"It's ok you can come with us" Ash said.
" Really thanks, we've always wanted to meet him. He's pretty famous for his research on pokemon".
"Alright then lets go" Red said.
Ash and the others made their way across Lumoise city towards the lab. When they arrived they saw Delia waiting at the entrance.
"There you are, how was the gym leader?".
"We didn't get to see him, he shocked us because we didn't have any badges" Ash said.
"What?! How dare he , I have a half a mind to go to the police".
A sweatdrop fell down the side of Clemont's and Bonnie's heads as they heard what she said. Delia noticed Clemont and Bonnie with her two sons.
"Oh have you boys made some new friends already ?".
"Right, mom this is Clemont and his little sister Bonnie. Guys this is our mother Delia" Red said.
"Nice to meet you Delia" Clemont said.
"It's nice to meet you too, are you two trainers?".
"I am , but Bonnie is far to young to be a trainer".
"Don't say that Clemont, I could be a trainer if I wanted to".
"They came here to see professor Sycamore with us" Ash said.
"Well he said he'd be back at his lab around this time so it should be any minute now".
Moments later a man wearing a white lab coat approached them. He was relatively tall with light skin long dark blue hair and grey eyes.
" Ah there you are I was wondering when you'd get here".
"Professor Sycamore?".
"That's me, I'm guessing you're Ash and Red. Professor Oak told me you'd be arriving in Kalos today".
Ash and Red both shook hands with Professor Sycamore.
"It's a pleasure to finally get to meet you professor, professor Oak speaks highly of you" Red said.
"That's kind of him, but if anything he has been my inspiration" professor Sycamore turned to Delia.
"You must be Delia correct?".
"That's me".
"Ah congratulations on your new position in the Lumiose press".
"Oh thank you, it wasn't easy getting that position with the competition these days".
Clemont was shaking as he watching Ash and Red speak with professor Sycamore.
Bonnie frowned and gave him a shove "Stop being such a chicken brother, talk to him!" .
"Right, professor my name is Clemont I'm a pokemon trainer and a big fan" Clemont said as he slowly extended his hand towards the professor.
"Well pleasure to meet you Clemont, you say you're already a trainer".
"Yes, let me show you my Bunnelby!" Clemont said as he took out his pokeball. Bunnelby came out and landed in front of Clemont.
Professor Sycamore knelt down to get a closer look ," Well what a healthy looking Bunnelby. You seem to be doing a fine job raising it".
Clemont's face turned red when he heard the professor's complement. "Thank you professor".
"Now then why don't you come inside and we'll get you two your pokemon".
"Alright we're finally going to be trainers" Red said. Ash and Red walked close behind professor Sycamore as he lead them inside his lab. The first room they entered has a red carpet with blue walls and a few white couches.
"This place seems more like a house than a lab" Bonnie said.
"Bonnie!" Clemont said.
"Actually this is my house as well, the lab itself is on the third floor". Sycamore lead the group up a set of stairs and to the second floor. The second floor had a few rooms with white tile floors and light blue wallpaper.
The second floor had a few counters and cupboards with pokemon feed and medicine inside. Inside the main room they saw 3 people wearing lab coats tending to a few pokemon. One was a younger looking woman with black hair and glasses who was giving food to a small Skiddo. The other two lab assistands were both writing down something on clipboards as they observed a very large Garchomp which was standing in the center of the of them was a man with long blue hair while the other was a woman with very long red hair. Both of them were wearing black shades.
"Woah a garchomp" Ash said.
"Ah yes, Garchomp belongs to one of my students who is currently in the Hoenn region. He won the Kalos league with her last year but wanted to start out with a new team when he went to Hoenn so he let her stay here while I did some research on her. Also I should introduce you to my assistants, that is Alaina she's been with me for a few years now" Sycamore said pointing to the woman feeding the skiddo.
Alaina turned and said "Hi nice to meet you all".
"These two are Ralph and Karen, they just started working here a few weeks ago". Neither the man or the woman acknowledged them. They simply kept observing the garchomp.
"So your student's pokemon stay here like with professor Oak?" Red said.
Sycamore smiled "Follow me", he lead them to a glass window that showed a large pokemon pen that resembled professor Oak's in the room below them. The room had several trees, lots of grass, some bushes, and a few ponds. Dozens of small and large pokemon were inside the pen.
"Woah look at all of them" Ash said.
"Yup all of them belong to my students, and soon you two will have pokemon staying here. That is as soon as you catch more than 6".
"Professor you said you were doing research on Garchomp" Clemont said.
"Yes, you see for years I've studied pokemon evolution and i've been getting closer and closer to discovering something truly incredible. Evolution past a pokemon's final stage".
"What!?" That's incredible!" Ash said.
"Yes, It's called Mega evolution. I'm not exactly sure what causes it but I believe certain pokemon can do it. I also believe that mega evolution is only temporary thus as pokemon will eventually return back to their normal stage".
"That sounds awesome, evolution past a pokemon's final stage" Red said.
"Alright I think I've talked about my work long enough. It's time for you two to get your pokemon". Sycamore went over to a counter and opened up a box. He came back with two red rectangular shaped devices.
" Here are your pokedex's. All the information you'll ever need on pokemon in in here" Sycamore handed one to Ash and one to Red.
Ash opened his and saw all of the features and the list of pokemon "Cool, thanks professor".
"Now for your pokemon. Alaina can you get them".
"Yes professor", Alaina got up and went over to another counter with two trays on it. One of the trays had 3 pokeballs on it , one blue and darkblue colored. One red and yellow colored, and one green and browned colored. The other tray had 4 pokeballs on it. One was Orange and red, one blue and brown, one green and light green, and the last was black and yellow.
Alaina picked up the tray with only 3 pokeballs on it and brought it over to Sycamore. The professor took the blue pokeball and let out the pokeball inside. A small frog pokemon with yellowish eyes, white hands, and white foam around it's neck.
"Woah what is that?" Red said as he opened his pokedex "Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon. From its chest and back, Froakie creates bubbles called Frubbles, which act as a cushion and soften the blow of an opponent's attack" The dex said.
"Oh a water type" Ash said.
Bonnie's cheeks turned pink as she smiled "Aww it's so cute!".
Sycamore took the red and yellow pokeball and sent out the next pokemon. A small yellow fox pokemon with large eyes that had red fur coming out of them, a bushy tail with a red tip , and white eyes came out. "Fennekin".
"A Fennekin?" Ash said as he opened his pokedex. "Fennekin, the Fox Pokémon. Fennekin expels hot air that can reach nearly 400 degrees. It likes to snack on twigs.".
"Oh a firetype" Red said.
"Aww this one is even cuter!" Bonnie said.
"Now the last one" Sycamore said as he tossed the green and brown pokeball. A small bipedal poke with a round head, small arms, a brown stomach and face, a green back with spikes pointing out of it. "Le ma"
"What is that?" Red said. "Chespin, the Spiny Nut Pokémon. Chespin can flex the soft spikes on its head, making them so stiff and sharp that it can even pierce through stone."
"Grass I see".
"So who wants the first pick?".
"Red you can pick first" Ash said.
"Really thanks Ash". Red knelt down and looked at the three pokemon. Almost 3 minutes passed before Bonnie said.
"Well are you going to pick one!?".
"Bonnie stop it!" Clemont said.
"Having trouble deciding Red?" Sycamore said.
"I guess".
"Well I think I have an idea, Alaina the other ones". Alaina walked over and picked up the second tray, then set it down on the counter next to Sycamore. The professor took all but the yellow and black pokeballs and let out the pokemon inside. To everyone's surprise a Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander came out.
"Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander?" Red said.
"Yes, you see a few months ago professor Oak sent me some pokemon from the Kanto region he caught so I could do some research on Mega evolution. I spent months studying these 3 and I've gotten plenty of data. Now I think it's time I let them be a trainer's starting choice. So go ahead Red pick one".
"Thank you professor. I already know who I want" Red knelt down in front of Charmander.
"Well Charmander, I'm Red. What do you say, you wanna be my first pokemon?".
"Char-charmander!" Charmander said excitedly . Red picked up Charmander and held him in his arms.
"Well looks like Red's got his partner. Alright Ash who do you want, you can have one of the Kalos starters, or one of the two remaining Kanto starters" Sycamore said.
"H'mm" Ash looked at the 5 pokemon and tried to think. Truthfully Ash had though about who he wanted as his first pokemon for a long time. But even now he still could not decide who he wanted.
"Take your time Ash, remember this pokemon is going to be your partner for life" Red said.
Just as Ash turned back to the 5 pokemon the yellow and black pokeball still on the tray started to shake. The pokeball opened and out came the pokemon inside as it landed in front of Ash. Ash saw standing in front of him was none other than a Pikachu.
"A pikachu?" He said confused.
Bonnie's eyes started to sparkle as her cheeks turned pink again. "It's so cute!".
Sycamore's eyes widened as he saw Pikachu come out of his pokeball.
Ash slowly moved his hand towards the pikachu when Sycamore shouted "Ash no!".
The pikachu growled and it's red cheeks began to spark. Before Ash could move his hand back he was filled with electricity and lurched his whole body back.
"Pika!" The pikachu growled as it got into an offensive stance.
"Ash are you ok!?" Delia rushed over and helped her son up.
"Ash I'm so sorry about that".
"Why do you have a pikachu professor?" Clemont said.
"He was one of the pokemon Oak sent me from Kanto. Apparently he kept him as a backup in case he ever ran out of starters and a trainer needed one but he thought I might like to work with him. Unfortunately he's rather troublesome. Pikachu doesn't trust any humans other than me, and he barley even trusts me".
"Why did he come out of his pokeball like that?" Red said.
"He tries to gets out of his pokeball every chance he gets. I don't know why" Alaina said.
Ash looked back at the pikachu who was still growling at him and had a thought.
"Maybe the pikachu doesn't like being in a pokeball".
"That's ridiculous, i've never seen a pokemon that doesn't like being in a poke ball" Alaina said as she picked up Pikachu's pokeball and tried to return him.
"Pika!" Pikachu said franticly as he ran behind a chair trying to hide.
"eh".
Ash slowly walked back over to the chair and knelt down. "Ash be careful" Delia said.
"I will mom", Ash slowly moved closer to the pikachu who started growling and sparking his cheeks as Ash got closer.
Alaina came over behind Ash with the poke ball. When pikachu saw the poke ball he backed up some more. "Alaina just don't put him back in the poke ball" Ash said.
"He has to go back in, he isn't safe to leave around people he doesn't trust".
"What if he doesn't get aggressive with us?".
"Well good luck with that Ash". Ash slowly turned back to pikachu and said "Listen pikachu I know you might not know us but we don't want to hurt you". Pikachu simply continued growling as Ash talked.
"I can also tell you don't like going in your pokeball. I don't know why but you like it better being out of it. So if you can just please try and calm down you won't have to go back in, I promise".
The pikachu stopped growling and slowly moved out from behind the chair and towards Ash. Alaina raised up the poke ball to return him. Pikachu almost ran back behind the chair when Ash got up and almost shouted.
"Alaina!".
"Alright fine" She walked back to the counter and put the poke ball back on the tray. When Pikachu saw this he looked up at Ash with a confused look on his face. In all of his life pikachu had never seen a human that he didn't know well stand up for him like that. Pikachu had always believed that humans weren't trustworthy , but here was one who he had just met who understood he hated being in poke balls and kept his word.
"Amazing I've never seen pikachu get someone to trust him just like that" Sycamore said.
While the others watched Ash and Pikachu Bonnie turned back to the garchomp and the two lab assistants. The women turned to the man who nodded and took out what looked like a large white metal and plastic collar. The man quickly put the collar around the garchomp's throat before she could respond.
"Hey what are you doing!?" Bonnie said. A small figure fell from the ceiling wearing a black jumpsuit with a large red R on the center. Bonnie quickly realized that it was a meowth standing on its legs like a human. The meowth had a very sinister looking smile on its face as it took out what looked like a remote control and pressed a button.
The garchomp cried out in pain causing the others to turn around. When they saw what was happening Sycamore rushed forward.
"Ralph! Karen what is the meaning of this!?". The two lab assistants smiled as they whipped off their shades and lab coats revealing they were wearing the same black uniforms with Red R's on the center like the meowth's.
"Prepare for trouble" The woman said.
"And make it double" The man said.
"To protect the world from devastation"
"To unite all people's within our nation".
"To denounce the evils of truth and love".
" To extend our reach to the stars above".
"Jessie" The woman said.
"James" The man said.
"Team rocket blast of at the speed of light".
"Surrender now or prepare to fight".
"Meowth that's right" everyone was dumbstruck when they heard it was the meowth who said the last verse.
"Did that meowth just talk!?" Ash said.
"Incredible a talking pokemon, this has to be the greatest discovery of the century!" Clemont said.
Red smacked Clemont on the back of the head "Focus Clemont!".
"Right sorry".
"Team rocket, I've heard of them. They're a criminal organization from the Kanto region who steal pokemon and conduct other criminal activities".
"Steal pokemon!" Alaina said.
"That's right , and team rocket is setting up shop in Kalos now" The meowth said.
"You see professor we've long known of your research on Mega evolution and our boss wanted us to learn as much as we can" James said.
"So all the research you've been doing for me!".
"Has been sent to team rocket, now we get the grand prize Garchomp", Jessie said.
"No we won't let you take garchomp!" Red said.
"Oh what are you going to do little twerp stop us".
"That's right" Ash said as he stepped up beside his brother.
"Alright if you wanna play with Garchomp we'll let you" The meowth said as he pressed a button on the remote. Garchomp cried out in pain again as her eyes began to glow red. When she stopped she turned her head towards Ash and red then unleashed a dragon rage.
" Look out!" Ash, Red, and Red's new charmander all dove away as the dragon rage hit the ground.
"He's controlling her with that remote. Squirtle , Froakie get him!" Sycamore said.
"I don't think so" James said as he threw a poke ball. A large Nidorino came out and roared at the others.
"Squirtle use water gun, Froakie use bubble!" Squirtle and Froakie both unleashed their attacks but the the nidorino moved out of the way.
"Nice try, nidorino use double kick" James said. Nidorino sprinted forward and delivered a powerful kick to Froakie and squirtle . Hurling them back into a counter.
"Squirtle! Froakie !" Sycamore said.
"Wait nidorino is a poison type and poison is weak against fire! Charmander lets get him" Red said. "Char!" Charmander said confidently.
"Fenniken you too" Alaina said as she stepped up next to Fenniken.
"Charmander use ember".
"You too Fenniken".
The two fire types opened their mouths and unleashed the small fire type attacks. WHen the two embers hit Nidorino he turned to his attackers.
"Ha my Nidorino is to powerful for your puny pokemon. Nidorino use double kick"
"Charmander move back!" Red said. Nidorino sprinted at Charmander and Fenniken and kicked both his back legs at them. Fenniken was hit but Charmander avoided the attack by doing what his trainer said.
When pikachu saw this he was amazed, if charmander hadn't listened to his human trainer he would have been hit by double kick like fenniken was.
"Good now use scratch on his stomach". Charmander quickly clawed Nidorino's underside making him grunt.
"Nidorino use horn attack".
"Charmander grab his horn and use growl". Charmander grabbed Nidorino by the horn as Nidorino tried to force his horn into Charmander. Charmander used his feet to try and slow down Nidorino as he used growl. As charmander continued to use growl he felt Nidorino's attack get less and less power behind it.
"Perfect charmander now use ember again!" Charmander opened his mouth and unleashed ember again directly on Nidorino.
"Wow Red is battling incredible for a beginning trainer" Clemont said. Pikachu was just as amazed as the others were at how Charmander was holding his own against a much bigger and stronger pokemon because he had a trainer.
"I'll help you James, go Ryhorn" Jessie said as she tossed a poke ball forward. A large Ryhorn came out and roared at those in front of him.
"A Ryhorn, that's a ground type so he's week against water and grass types" Sycamore looked back at Squirtle and Froakie who were still trying to recover from the double kick.
"Alright Bulbasaur and Chespin with me. Delia have you ever battled with a pokemon?".
"Yes but it's been years".
"It doesn't matter, use bulbasaur". Delia and Bulbasaur walked up with Sycamore and Chespin toward the Ryhorn.
"You want to battle us too, ok Ryhorn use horn attack".
"Chespin dodge and use vine whip".
"Bulbasaur use razor leaf".
Bulbasaur unleashed a barrage of sharp leaves on ryhorn as Chespin moved to the side and whipped Ryhorn's side with his vines. Despite being hit with both grass type attacks Ryhorn continued running and hit bulbasaur.
"Bulbasaur!" Delia said. Bulbasuar was knocked against another counter like froakie and Squirtle.
"Chespin vine whip on its legs". The chespin whipped his vines forward and around Ryhorn's front legs making him trip.
"Hurl that chespin over to you" Jessie said Ryhorn got up and used his sheer size to pull Chespin over with his own vines.
"Chespin curl up!". Chespin curled up into a ball with his spikes pointed out. When he hit ryhorn he did more damage to his opponent then vice versa.
"Curses ".
"Nice work you two while they're distracted I'll get Garchomp out of here" The meowth said as he began moving forward with Garchomp until Ash got in his way.
"I'm not letting you take her".
"Oh what are you going to battle garchomp?" The meowth said. Just then Pikachu came up next to Ash. When Ash saw him he said "Pikachu you want to battle with me?".
"Pika!" Pikachu said.
"Brother don't just sit there do something!" Bonnie said.
"Oh right , go Bunnelby" Clemont said as he sent out his Bunnelby who took position next to pikachu.
" Oh are both little pokemon going to fight my super powerful Garchomp. Ok then, garchomp use dragon rage" Meowth said as he pushed a button on the remote.
Garchomp immediately did what Meowth said and unleashed a powerful dragon rage towards Pikachu and Bunnelby.
" Pikachu dodge and use thundershock!".
"Bunnelby dodge and use mud shot".
The two pokemon quickly moved out of the way as the dragon rage tore throughout he floor where they were standing. Once they were clear they launched their attacks both hitting Garchomp.
"Try not to hurt her too much remember she's my student's" Sycamore said.
"Alright you wanna play like that do you. Garchomp use dragon claw just on pikachu". Meowth said as he pressed the button again".
Garchomp roared and ran towards Pikachu with her claws glowing violet. "Pikachu dodge with agility and then use thundershock".
Pikachu used agility to move with incredible speed and evaded every one of Garchomp's strikes. Once he was clear he used thundershock and hit garchomp.
"No more of that garchomp use dragon rage" .
"Pikachu use quick attack and hit the inside of her legs". Pikachu sprinted forward and avoided the dragon rage. Once he was clear he hit the inside of Garchomp's legs, weakening her stance and balance.
"Good Bunnelby use double kick". Bunnelby came from behind garchomp and hit her in the back with both of his legs forcing her to fall on her face.
"Nice work you two" Ash said as pikachu and bunnelby both came back in front of him and Clemont.
"Grr, that's it Garchomp use hyper beam!" Meowth shouted as he pressed the button again. Garchomp roared as she got up again and unleashed a massive hyper beam towards Pikachu and Bunnelby.
"Look out!" Ash shouted. The ground in front of them exploded as Ash and Clemont were both knocked to the ground and back few feet. Pikachu and Bunnelby were also knocked away by the blast.
Garchomp slowly walked towards Ash as Meowth lead the way. "You little twerp, I'll teach you to mess with team rocket" The meowth said as he pressed the button again.
Garchomp opened her mouth as she prepared for another hyper beam.
"Ash no!" Red and Delia shouted. Just before Garchomp unleashed the attack Pikachu jumped between garchomp and Ash.
"Pikachu!" He shouted as he unleashed thunderbolt on Garchomp.
"Thunderbolt?! But pikachu hasn't learned that move yet" Sycamore said. The electricity coursed through Garchomp making her stumbled backwards a foot or two. That was when Meowth noticed the electricity was also hitting the collar.
"Oh no stop!". After another few seconds the collar short circuited and Garchomp roared out in even greater pain.
"Woah what just happened?".
"That stupid pikachu short circuited the collar. I can't control garchomp anymore".
"Wait that's a good thing right" Bonnie said. Out of no where Charchomp roared and blasted one of the walls with dragon rage.
"That's a no Bonnie" Red said.
"The collar has gone haywire and now Garchomp is going berserk!" Clemont said. Garchomp's eyes were still red as she slashed at James and Jessie with dragon claw.
Jessie and James lurched back as Garchomp snarled while he tried to get them. "This situation has gotten a bit out of hand" James said.
"Agreed time to make a hasty retreat" Jessie said. The two returned their pokemon as Meowth ran over towards them.
"Team rocket stop! Your not going to get away with this!" Red shouted.
The 3 gave sinister smiles "We already have" Jessie said as she threw a small device towards the ground. When the device hit the ground a large white flash blinded everyone in the room. When Ash regained his vision team rocket was gone.
"Dam they got away".
Garchomp roared again as she smashed a table apart with her right claws. "Garchomp please calm down" Sycamore said as he slowly moved towards her.
Garchomp turned to Sycamore and tried to slash at him with dragon claw. The professor dropped to the ground narrowly avoiding the dragon claw.
"Professor get back!" Clemont said. As Garchomp prepared to use dragon rage on the professor Pikachu used thunderbolt on Garchomp causing the collar to short circuit again.
This only made garchomp go more berserk as she ran to the wall and smashed through it. "Oh no" Sycamore said.
The group rushed to the hole in the wall and looked down at the streets below. Garchomp was tearing apart street signs and some lamp posts. When a car approached her, she stopped it with her left foot ripped the hood off with her claws.
Completely terrified, the man driving the car got out and sprinted away as Garchomp roared.
"This isn't good , we need to get down there" Ash said.
By the time the whole group made it outside Garchomp was already moving down the street. "Garchomp could cause untold damage to the city or worse to people if she isn't stopped" Sycamore said.
"We have to get that collar off her" Ash said. As the group pursued her they saw a police roadblock ahead of them with 4 police cars surrounding garchomp.
Several police officers including Officer Jenny were taking cover behind their cars as Garchomp unleashed dragon rage at them.
When officer Jenny saw Ash and the others approaching she stepped towards them with her hand out.
"Stay back, we've got a berserk Garchomp here and it's too dangerous for you to be here".
"Officer Jenny you don't understand that Garchomp is under my care. She belongs to one of my students".
"It doesn't matter professor, she's out of control and she is going to get someone killed. We have to knock her out".
"But it's not her fault, the collar she's wearing is making her go crazy and team rocket put it on her" Clemont said.
"What team rocket? Whatever, like I said whatever the reason we still have to knock her out".
"But Jenny that's no ordinary Garchomp" Sycamore said.
Two of the police officers moved out of cover slowly with a pair of Manetric. "Manteric use thunder" One of the officers said.
"Manetric use thunder wave". The other officer said. The first Manetric used thunder wave and paralyzed Garchomp. Once Garchomp was paralyzed the second Manetric unleashed thunder on garchomp.
The electric attack plus the pain of the collar made things even worse for garchomp. The rage was too much and she broke free of the paralysis. Once free Garchomp unleashed a hyper beam that tore the ends off two of the police cars and knocked the mantric out cold.
"Manetric!" Officer Jenny shouted. The two police officers returned the mantric to their poke balls.
"Ma'm those were out last two mantric. The garchomp knocked out every other one we had".
"Do we have any other pokemon?".
"None as strong as the mantric".
"Dam, call HQ and tell them we need the big guns". The first officer nodded as Jenny turned back towards the group.
"Alright professor if you want to help us we're listening".
"I think if we can get the collar off her she'll return to normal".
"How though if we try and get close to her she attacks" Bonnie said.
"I'm not sure but we need to keep following her".
Miles away as the sun began to set Grace sat down in a chair near her television. She noticed there was a news report on and turned it up.
"We're here in Lumiose city where a very powerful Garchomp has gone completely berserk. She is moving through the city streets tearing apart anything in her path. The residence of Lumoise city are advised to stay clear for their own safety as the police try and regain control of the situation".
"What? Serena you have to see this. Something unbelievable is happening".
In the kitchen Serena was getting a bottled water out of the fridge when she heard her mother.
"Really because something unbelievable has happened to my face!" She said as her mother saw 3 bandaged on her face from when she face planted earlier.
A sweat drop ran down Grace's face as she saw her daughter. Serena walked over to another chair and sat down.
"What movie is this?".
"This isn't a movie it's actually happening".
"What?".
Back in Lumoise city the skies had turned dark. Ash and the group had followed Garchomp to prism tower. Many people had come around the tower to see Garchomp.
The Police tried to form a perimeter around the tower as garchomp began to scale it.
"Alright we've got her trapped that's good" Delia said.
"No that's not good. Prism tower isn't just the gym , it's the power station for half of Lumoise city. If Garchomp does to much damage to the tower half the city could loose power".
"That means hospitals and pokemon center's patients on life support could die!" Red said.
Moments later Ash felt his hat almost blow off. He looked up and saw an armored military helicopter lowering towards them. When it got close enough the side doors opened and 5 large men stepped out.
The men were wearing green and dark green camo uniforms with small flag of Kalos patch on the shoulders. Across the left part of the chest there was a last name on each uniform while on the right were the words Kalos army.
Four of the men were carrying MP5s and had camo caps while the man in the center had a red Beret with the symbol of the Kalos flag and 2 silver bars on it.
The man with the beret approached officer Jenny and said "Captain Laffon , Kalos national guard. We're here to take care of the Garchomp".
"Take care of what do you mean by that?" Sycamore said.
The captain took poke ball from his belt and let out a massive pokemon. The pokemon was 16 feet tall, 45 feet long with brownish skin, massive legs, small arms, hanna sized teeth, a massive tail, with red and white feathers around the top of it's head and neck.
"What is that!?" Ash said. He took out his pokedex and opened it up. "Thanks to its gargantuan jaws, which could shred thick metal plates as if they were paper, it was invincible in the ancient world it once inhabited.".
"Tyrantrum knows dragon type moves which should be very effective against Garchomp".
"What are you going to do?" Red said.
"I'm sorry but we can't let that thing destroy prism tower. Lives are on the line; we have no choice but to put her down".
"What!?" everyone even Jenny said.
"Captain you can't be serious" Sycamore said.
"Professor we have no choice. If we don't do something innocent people will die".
"But it's not Garchomps fault. Wait a minute, if we could get the collar off her and stop her rampage would you let her live?" Ash said.
The captain took deep breath "Alright kid I'll give you twenty minutes before Tyrantrum puts her down. Twenty minutes".
"Thank you".
"Ash what do you think you're doing?" Delia said.
"Mom we can't let them kill Garchomp. I have to do something".
"He's right mom this is wrong and you know it".
" But it's too dangerous I can't let you go up there and".
"Mom , if we don't Garchomp is going to die. Or worse hundreds of sick people and pokemon could die" Ash said.
Pikachu was more amazed with Ash every moment. Now he was putting himself at risk to try and save a pokemon he hardly knew. Pikachu had never seen a human like Ash before.
Delia sighed "Just promise me you'll be careful".
"We will mom" Red said.
"I'll come too" Clemont said.
"And me!" Bonnie said.
"Bonnie no it's not safe up there".
"Well you're going and so am I brother".
"Sgt go with them. Try and keep them safe" The captain said. One of the soldiers lead Ash , Red, Clemont , and Bonnie towards the tower as Pikachu followed.
The group carefully scaled the tower exterior as they tried to reach garchomp. Above them a news helicopter was taking video of them.
Grace and Serena were still watching the news. "Now it appears a group of young men and a soldier from the national guard are scaling the tower".
"What are they doing?" Grace said. Serena looked closer at Ash and started to think.
"Wait a minute, could that be".
Back in Lumoise Ash and the others had finally reached level garchomp was on. Garchomp was attacking the side of the tower with dragon rage and dragon claw.
"Garchomp please stop. They're going to kill you!" Ash shouted. "Pika pikachu!", "Char char!" Charmander and Pikachu were also trying to reason with Garchomp.
When Garchomp heard them she turned and unleashed a dragon rage. "Look out!" The soldier said as he moved Ash and Red out of the way.
The dragon rage hit the wall behind them and forced all of them to the ground . Some of the debri hit the sgt in the head, knocking him unconscious.
"Oh no" Red said. Garchomp roared as she prepared to attack again.
"What do we do know?" Clemont said.
"We have no choice, we have to try and knock her out or at least wear her down enough so we can take the collar off" Ash said.
Clemont said out Bunnelby as Charmander stepped forward with Pikachu.
"Bonnie stay back, see if you can wake up the Sgt" Clemont said.
"Ok, be careful" She said as she tried to fan air into the soldier's face.
"Bunnelby use mud shot".
"Charmander use ember".
"Pikachu use thunderbolt".
All 3 pokemon Attacked simotaniuosly . While their attacks hit Garchomp , they had little effect. Garchomp roared and unleashed dragon rage toward the 3 pokemon.
"Move!" Ash shouted. The 3 pokemon scattered as the dragon rage hit the ground where they had been. Garchomp ran forward and tried to slash them with dragon claw.
"Pikachu use agility and then thunderbolt". Pikachu quickly evaded each attack causing Garchomp's claws to hit the ground.
"Charmander use growl".
"Bunnelby use mud shot and aim for her legs".
Charmander growled causing Garchomps attacks to have less effect while Bunnelby hit the inside of Garchomp's legs with mud shot. Once Garchomp's stance weakened Pikachu hit her with thunderbolt causing Garchomp to go to one knee.
Once he saw the opportunity Ash sprinted forward and got onto Garchomp's back furiously trying to get the collar off.
"It now appears one of the young men is trying to get some kind of device off of the Garchomp's neck. Possibly the cause of her berserk".
Serena looked even closer at the screen "Could that really be him".
Garchomp got back onto her feet and tried to shake Ash off her as he tried to get the collar off.
"Ash be careful!" Red shouted.
Ash tried aggressively to get the collar off but to no avail. Finally garchomp hurled Ash off her and onto the ground in front of her.
She growled as she prepared to use dragon rage. Once again Pikachu got between Ash and Garchomp and prepared to use thunderbolt.
That is when Ash had an idea. "Pikachu aim for the collar!". Pikachu unleashed thunderbolt directly into the collar making it short circuit again.
Everyone below was watching carefully as Garchomp cried out in pain.
"Don't let up pikachu, keep going!".
"Pika chu!. Pikachu gave everything he had in the thunderbolt. Garchomp cried out in pain for another few moments before the collar finally broke. The magnetic locking mechanism was no longer working and the collar simply popped off garchomp's neck.
Garchomp's eyes returned to normal as she stumbled around for a few moments before falling backwards unconscious.
"We did it, we did it!" Ash said.
"We stopped garchomp!" Clemont said.
"We saved her" Red said.
On the ground the captain and everyone else were amazed when they saw Garchomp fall over.
"I don't believe it, they did it".
Just when it seemed like the danger had passed, the ground on which pikachu was standing gave way after taking too much damage from Garchomp's attacks.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted out in fear as he began to fall off the ledge.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted as he dove forward trying to catch Pikachu. Ash managed to catch Pikachu but went too far onto the damaged section of the ledge and he too began to fall towards the ground.
"Ash!" Red screamed at the top of his lungs.
When Delia said it was Ash falling towards the ground she screamed "Ash no!".
"Ash!" Sycamore shouted.
"Oh no!" Grace said as she saw Ash and pikachu fall to the ground.
"No!" Serena screamed as she watched Ash fall towards the ground. More fear ran though Serena than she had ever felt in her entire life.
As Ash and Pikachu fell they could hear the terrified screams of the people below. Ash and Pikachu embraced each other as they prepared for the end.
"No!".
Moving like lightning , a pokemon sprinted across the rooftops of the buildings near Prism tower picking up speed. One he had enough, the pokemon leapt across open sky and caught the two in his arms.
When the pokemon hit the ground he used his feet to slow himself down as he slid across the pavement.
When Ash and Pikachu opened their eyes they saw they were in the arms of a pokemon that resembled a Lucario.
This pokemon however was bigger than the average Lucario, he had longer black tendrils on the back of his head with red ends. His body had many more parches of red across it as well as longer streak of yellow on the chest.
Before Ash could say anything the pokemon set him and Pikachu down the sprinted away and leapt up to the top of a building next to the shadowy figure of a man. Moments later the man and the pokemon vanished from sight before Ash and Pikachu could say anything.
"What was that?" "Pika". Before Ash knew what hit him his mother had nearly tackled him as she wrapped her arms around him.
"Ash thank God, thank god".
"They made it!" Red shouted.
"Incredible folks the young man and the Pikachu were saved by what looked like a lucario".
"Well that's a relief" Grace said. Serena felt more relieved then she had ever been in her entire life. She let out a large relief breath and then looked back at the TV. When she saw Ash standing alone she was positive she knew who he was.
"So after all this time, you finally came here" She said to herself as her cheeks turned slightly pink.
Sycamore approached Ash and Pikachu. "Thank heaven's you two are ok. But that pokemon who saved you, it looked like a lucario but".
"Professor you don' think that it was a mega Lucario do you?".
"It might have been, and if it was then Mega evolution is real!".
The next morning Ash and the others were back at Professor Sycamore's lab. "Once again thank you all so much for saving Garchomp".
"How is she doing?" Red asked.
"She's at the pokemon center, but Nurse Joy says she should make a full recovery".
"That's good to hear" Ash said.
"Now Ash I believe it's time for you to pick your pokemon" Sycamore said as he showed Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Chespin, Froakie, and Fenniken behind him. Ash also noticed Pikachu was standing beside the professor.
"Professor I think I know who I want".
"Good who?".
"I want Pikachu".
"What?" Everyone but Red said.
"After everything he and I went through I know what a good partner he is. I want him but I'll only take him if he wants to come with me" Ash said as he knelt down in front of Pikachu.
Pikachu started thinking for a minute. Just yesterday he never thought he would trust a human. Now he knew this human who had only just met him, yet he clearly cared for all pokemon. He was willing to put his life on the line to save garchomp, not to mention himself. Pikachu finally realized that not all humans are bad and this one was the one who showed him that.
"Pika!" Pikachu said with excitement as he jumped into Ash's arms.
"I'll take that as a yes. Alright Ash if you want Pikachu you can have him".
"Thank you professor Sycamore for everything" Ash said. Alaina handed Ash and Red 5 pokeballs each and gave Ash Pikachu's pokeball, to which he quickly put away. Alaina also gave them some pokemon food, a few potions, and a map of Kalos.
"Remember to also watch out for each-other and your pokemon on your journey and the best of luck to both of you" Sycamore said.
"Well I guess the day has finally come. Promise me you two will stay safe" Delia said.
"It's alright mom Ash has me to look out for him" Red said. As Pikachu got onto Ash's shoulder he took out a map of Kalos.
"Alright it looks like the nearest gym is in Santalune City" .
"Alright to Santalune city" Red said as he returned charmander to his pokeball.
"Uh Ash , Red" Clemont said.
"Yeah" Red said.
"I know we haven't know each-other for long but I was wondering if we could travel with you two".
"Yes please let us come with you!" Bonnie said.
"Why do you want to come with us?" Ash said.
"Because I know you two are probably going to see lots of adventure and have lots experiences in becoming better trainers. I want to become a better trainer to and I thought it would be nice to go on an adventure with friends".
"Of course you guys can come with us Clemont" Ash said.
"Yeah it'll be great the 4 of us" Red said.
"Really ! Thank you so much!".
"Yay we're going on an adventure!" Bonnie said.
"Good luck to all of you" Sycamore said.
After making it to the edge of Lumiose city and onto route 4. "Alright if we follow route 4 we should get to Santalune city" Ash said.
"I'm going to be the first one there" Red said as he started running.
"No you're not!" Ash said as he stared chasing him.
"We're going to Santalune city!" Bonnie shouted as she ran after them.
"Guys wait up, please!" Clemont said as he tried to catch up.
Author's note:
Alright chapter 2 is up. Most chapters won't be this long I just wanted to get these two episodes down to one chapter, yes Ash will still have pikachu as his first pokemon. Sorry to disappoint you if you wanted him to have a new one but I like pikachu too much.
Now on the topic of amourshipping, if any of you have read any of me other stories that involve romance you probably know that I do not like it when romances are dragged on forever until they get together at the very end of the story. I like it better then there is a good portion of the story where they are together.
So yes Ash and Serena will end up together and it will happen before the last few chapters, it probably won't be as fast as Ash and May in return to Hoenn since that story shared continuity with the anime and thus Ash and May had plenty of time to develop a romance before hand.
I will probably have Ash and Serena get together at around the halfwaypoint of the story. That way the first half of the story will give time for the romance to develop into a relationship and the second half you'll see them as a couple.
Also I normally won't update this fast, I only go this one done so quick because half of it was already written by the time I posted the prolog. So please review, comment, ask questions or leave suggestions.
