Pokemon: The Prism League Chapter One : Party in Pallet Town
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon.
Ash Ketchum along with his partner Pikachu and his friends Cilan, Iris and Axew had arrived at the Nuvema Town port waiting for the plane that would be taking them to the Kanto region. After Ash's participation in the Unova league coming in the top eight he decided to return home to Pallet Town with Iris and Cilan joining him.
"So Ash are you excited about heading home" Iris asked.
"You bet, getting home and seeing my mom, Professor Oak and all my other Pokémon will be great and I can't wait to tell them about the Prism League." Ash replied.
After the closing ceremony of the Unova league Ash was approached by the champion Alder and was given a prism in the shape of a pokeball then told of a tournament that was being held in sixteen months. Trainers from all over the world would be attending but only those who received the prism pokeball invitation could compete. To receive an invitation a trainer would have to prove themselves to a Pokémon League Official such as a Gym Leader, only if the trainer shows enough skill would they get the prism pokeball. Because of Ash's performance in the Unova League he had more than proven himself and was accepted to the Prism League.
"Such a little kid, he was just in the Unova league last week and he is already thinking of his next competition." Iris sighed.
"That's Ash for you, fiery ambition mixed with a spicy battling style." Cilan added.
Once the plane finally arrived Ash, Iris and Cilan boarded and headed to Pallet Town.
Ash and his friends finally reached Pallet Town and were on their way to Ash's home.
Man it's great to be home right buddy. Ash said to Pikachu.
"Pika Pi." (Sure is)
It reminds me of home. Iris said taking in the scenery.
Such a peaceful town. Cilan observed.
Here we are. Ash said as they finally reached his house.
Ash rushed inside expecting to see his mother or her Mr. Mime but the house appeared empty. "Mom!" Ash called but there was no answer.
"Where's your mon Ash?" Iris asked entering the house.
"I don't know she's not home."
Perhaps she's at the professor's laboratory." Cilan suggested.
"Yeah let's check at Professor Oak's."
"Ash do you every stop to take a rest?" Iris asked but it was too late as ash was already rushed out the door and headed for the lab.
Once they reached the laboratory Ash rushed in hoping he would be greeted by professor Oak and Tracy but found it as empty as his own home.
"First Mom now the professor and Tracy, where is everybody today?" Ash asked rhetorically.
Suddenly Pikachu's ears perked up.
"Pi" (huh).
Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder took off through the lab.
"Where you going buddy?" Ash called to Pikachu.
"What's with Pikachu?" Iris said confused.
"I don't know." Ash said running after Pikachu with Iris and Cilan following him.
They came to a stop when they found Pikachu standing in front of the door leading to the Pokémon reserve out back.
"Pika pika chu." (Ash come here)
"Is this what Pikachu wanted us to see?" Asked Cilan.
"I think so." Ash said then opened the door and stepped outside.
"Surprize!"
Ash, Cilan and Iris all jumped as Ash's mother, professor Oak and Ash friends yelled surprize throwing confetti on them while holding up a large banner that said Welcome home Ash written on it. Ash stood shocked seeing along with his mother and professor Oak were his all of his friends he use to travel with.
First there was Brock the oldest of the teens a Pokémon breeder and doctor in training, Misty the Cerulean City Gym Leader. Tracy Professor Oak's assistant, May Ash's Coördinator friend from Hoenn, her little brother Max who had recently received his first Pokémon and Dawn a coördinator from Sinnoh who Ash had seen just a few weeks ago in Unova. Last was his greatest rival when his journey began, Gary Oak.
"Welcome home honey!" Delia cheered hugging her son.
"Hi Mom, this is awsome thank you?" Ash said hugging his mother.
"Hey what about us?" Brock said in a fake hurt voice.
"Yeah your mom did have some help setting this up." said Misty.
"Thanks you guys I can't belive your all here."
"Well after we saw you battling on tv we all decided to get together and surprise you."May said cheerfully.
"We thought what better way to celebrate then with your friends." Tracy added.
"Thanks guys I'm really glad your all here and I want you to meet two new friends of mine." Ash gestured to his two companions behind him.
"I'm Cilan it's a pleasure to meet you all." Said the Pokémon connoisseur.
"High I'm Iris and this is Axew." Iris said holding the little dragon type in her arms.
"Nice to meet you." The group said.
After the introductions were made everyone felt the ground shake.
"What is it an earthquake?" Iris asked worried.
"No it's my Pokémon!" Ash saw the large group of Pokémon headed his way consisting of Bulbasaur, Muk, Kingler, Snorlax, all 30 of his Tauros, Quilava, Bayleef, Totodile, Donphan, Sceptile, Corphish, Torkoal, Glalie, Torterra, Infernape, Buizel and Gible charge across the field with Heracross, Noctowl, Swellow, Staraptor and Gliscor flying over head. Ash was tackled by his Pokémon as they cheered at their trainer's return.
"Ok alright I missed all of you too!" Ash said climbing out from under his Pokémon.
"Hey professor did you get my other Pokémon?"
"Yes I did professor Juniper sent them just this morning." professor Oak said taking out four pokeballs and giving them to Ash.
"Great, alright guys time to meet our new friends!" Ash said throwing nine pokeballs in the air releasing Pignite, Oshawott, Snivy, Scraggy, Leavanny, Palpitoad, Boldore, Unfezant and Krookodile. "Everybody these are all the Pokémon I caught in Unova."
Ash then turned to his unova Pokémon. "And these are all my Pokémon that live here in pallet town now you guys are officially part of the family."
This delighted the Unova Pokémon who all liked the idea of being apart of Ash's family. The Pokémon then began getting to know one another. Oshawott was greeting Kingler when out of nowhere Totodile grabbed Oshawott and started dancing. Pignite was talking with Quilava, torkal and Infernape about joining Ash after he saved them from tight spots and bad trainers. Snivy and Levanny was greeted by Ash's grass types then Sceptile stepped up to introduce himself with his hand outstretched to Snivy who was staring at him blushing and feeling like she had been hit by an attract attack then shook his hand with her vine wipe. Scraggy was using headbutt on Glalie who took it as a greeting and smiled. Buizel and Palpitoad were talking about past battles. Unfezent was being welcomed by Ash's flying types While Boldore and Krookodile were chatting with Gliscor and Donphan.
"Looks like they are all getting along." Said Brock.
"That's Ash's Pokémon for you." Said Dawn.
"Hey lets let our Pokémon join the party." Suggested Misty.
"Good idea!" Everyone agreed.
Misty called out Azurill, Staryu, Starmie, Politoed, Corsola, Psyduck, Horsea, Goldeen and Gyarados who all jump into a near by pond. Brock released Steelix, Sudowoodo, Croagunk, Chansey, Geodude, Forretress, Crobat, Ludicolo and his newly evolved Swampert. Next was May who brought out Blaziken, Beautifly, Skitty, Venusaur, Munchlax, Wartotle, Glaceon and Manaphy. Max called his starter pokemon Grovyle his Kirlia, Vigoroth and Poochyena. Then Dawn released Piplup, Buneary, Pachirisu, Mamoswine, Quilava, Togekiss and Ambipom. Tracy called Marill, Venonat and Scyther. Cilan released Pansage, Crustle and Stunfisk while Iris let out Excadrill, Emolga and Dragonite. And Last Gary released Blastoise, Nidoking, Arcanine, Umbreon and Electivire.
All the Pokémon began to to play and socialize. "Wow it's great to see everyone, Dawn you even brought Ambipom and May you got Manaphy." Said Ash.
"Yeah I thought Ambipom would want to see everybody so I picked her up on the way here."
"And while I was exploring the whirl islands Manaphy found me and we've been partners ever since."
"That's great." Ash said happy for his friends and Pikachu who was greeting all his old pals.
"Well you can't have a party without food so I'll get started on lunch." Said Mrs Ketchum.
"Great I'm starved!" Ash cheered.
With all the Pokémon out the party began and everyone was enjoying themselves. Misty, May and Dawn were watching Manaphy and Azurill play together while talking about past adventures. Brock and Cilan were trading recipes. Iris and Axew were getting to know everyone's Pokémon, they both were very excited to meet Gible it being a dragon type not native to Unova but were not as social when Glalie tried to say hello. Max was marveling at the Unova Pokémon while Tracy sketched them. Ash was talking with Gary about his latest research project. Pikachu was playing with Piplup, Skitty, Poochyena, Grovyle and Scraggy when Buneary hopped over and hugged him with all her might choking Pikachu until he managed to escape her grip and ran off with Buneary hot on his tail.
After a while of playing lunch was ready for everyone and their Pokémon. "Alright time to eat!" Ash shouted as he and his friends sat down to eat.
"Same old Ash." Misty said not surprised to see the black-haired trainer still loved to eat.
After lunch was finished Ash gathered everyone together to tell them of his plans for the future.
"What's up Ash?" Asked Dawn.
"I want to tell you guys about the Prism League." Ash replied excitedly.
"The Prism League?" Everyone but Brock and Misty said in confusion.
"Let me guess, you got the prism pokeball." Misty said knowing the answer already.
"How did you know about that Misty?" Ash said surprised.
"It's because she's a Gym Leader. Brock answered
"The Pokémon League informed all Gym Leaders of the Prism League so we can look for possible candidates." Misty explained.
"So you guys know already." Ash said disappointed he would not be the first to tell them of the competition.
"They do, but we don't so tell us what it is you're talking about!" Dawn shouted.
"Ok ok, after the Unova league Alder gave me this." Ash reached it his pocket and revealed the prism pokeball. "This is my invitation to the Prism league a competition for the best trainers from around the world to compete, and I plan on winning it."
"Just as confident as ever huh Ash." Gary said.
"Yeah I am, I've got sixteen months to train and I'm going to work harder than ever before, learn as much as I can about my opponents and if you guys help me train I know I'll be able to win it." Ash said his confidence growing every second.
"Wow, when was the last time you had a plan Ashy-boy?" Gary asked rhetorically.
"I know one time was when I beat you at the silver conference." Ash replied putting Gary at a loss for a comeback. "So what do you say guys?"
"I say it's a pretty good idea, I'm in." Brock was the first to speak up.
"The same goes for me!" Misty added.
"You can count me in to!" May said excited.
"And me!" Tracy said.
"Me to!" Dawn cheered.
"Same here." Replied Max.
"Alright Ashy-boy I'll help you train to." Gary said trying to regain his cool.
"Yes, thanks everybody, Iris, Cilan how about you guys?" Ash asked the two Unova natives.
"Such a fiery desire to grow stronger is enough to fuel anyone's passion, of course I'll join you! Cilan stated confusing everyone but Ash who was use to his connoisseur terms.
"Yeah I want in to! Iris cheered.
"Great then it's settled." Ash said then turned to the Pokémon who had listened to the conversation. "You all ready to train?" Ash asked causing all the Pokémon to let out cries of agreement when suddenly out of nowhere three cages dropped down trapping everyone's Pokémon. One cage held the smaller Pokémon like Pikachu and Piplup as well as medium-sized Pokémon like Leavanny and Sudowoodo. the second cage trapped the larger Pokémon such as Blaziken, Torterra, Snorlax and Dragonite while the last cage had the giants Gyarados and Steelix confined unable to move. "What!"
The cages were then picked up by three robotic arms connected to a hot air balloon shaped like a Meowth. "You have to be kidding me." Misty said not wanting to belive what she was seeing.
"Afraid not Misty it's Team Rocket." Ash said looking up to the trapped Pokémon.
"Bringing the white light of evil into the future!"
"Thrusting the hammer of justice on to the black darkness of the universe!"
"And Carving our names on to the rock of eternity!"
"The fiery destroyer I am Jessie!"
"With thunderous emotion I am James!"
"Wisest of the wise I am Meowth!"
"Now gather under the name Team Rocket!"
"Do they always have to make up those lame mottos?" May asked annoyed.
"You mean they have more than just one?" Iris asked.
"Yeah but be glad you haven't had to listen to them all." Brock groaned.
"Why don't you guys just leave us alone!" exclaimed Dawn.
"We didn't want to miss this twerpy reunion." Jessie snickered.
"And we didn't want to miss snatching all your Pokémon!" Said Meowth.
"Oh no you don't, Pikachu use Iron Tail on the cage!" Ash shouted.
"Pika!" ("Right!") Pikachu gathered energy in his tail which became coated in metal then swung it at the bars of the cage making solid contact but the bars did not break "Pika-Pi?" (What the?)
"What?" Ash cried in shock that the attack failed.
"Nice try twerp but those cages are made to take any attack you got." Mewoth said chuckling.
Ash growled in frustration at this comment. "We'll see about that, guys we have to do something!" Ash turned to his friends.
"Right!" They all said in unison.
Ash and his friends began commanding their Pokémon to attack the cages. Sceptile and Grovyle unleashed countless strikes with their Leaf blades while Blaziken delivered a fluffy of Blaze Kicks to the bars fallowed by Vigoroth's scratch attack.
Heracross charged the cage with back to back Mega Horns. Excadrill attack with Metal Claw and Crogunk with Brick Break While Dragonite joined with Thunder Punch and Gliscor struck with X-Scissor.
Mamoswine and Donphan rammed their prisons with powerful Takedown attacks smashing their tusks against the bars.
Corsola and Pansage fired a mix of Spike Cannon and Bullet Seed that seemed to only bounce of the bars. With each Pokémon using their own attack the cages shook but would not break. When the frenzy of attacks stopped the cages were still in tact.
"What?" Ash cried in shock once again.
"No way!" Dawn said not believing her eyes.
"We didn't put a scratch on them!" Max stated.
"That's right twerps, face it we win and you lose." James gloated.
The teens watched as Team Rocket began to make their escape with the Pokémon still trapped calling out to their trainers for help. "We can't let them getaway with this!" Said Gary.
"See ya, sure wouldn't want to be ya." Mewoth called out as he Jessie and James began laughing.
Ash looked up at Team Rocket with great frustration when past the ballon he notice a figure silhouetted against the sun then after a moment Ash knew just what it was and how to save the Pokémon. "Those cages can handle our attacks but your balloon can't!" Ash said with a smile causing the trio's laughter to stop.
"Uh Meowth the lead twerp has a point." Jessie said turning to Meowth.
"Yeah but so what, we got all their Pokémon. The scratch Pokémon said surly.
"Not all of them, Flamethrower!" Ash called out then a blast of fire shot through Team Rocket's balloon sending it back down to the ground. When the cages hit the ground the hinges broke off freeing the Pokémon who returned to their respective trainers sides.
"What was that?" Dawn said shocked.
"An old friend." Ash said then suddenly a giant orange dragon landed next to him.
"Charizard!" said the teens familiar with the said dragon.
"Wow Charizard's really pumped up." Misty said referring to the fact that Charizard's size now matched that of the others seen in the Charicific Vally.
"So that's Ash's Charizard, cool." Dawn said taking out her pokedex then scanned the fire and flying type.
Charizard the Flame Pokémon and the final evolved form of Charmander, It is said that Charizard's fire burns hotter if it has experienced harsh battles.
"Nice timing Charizard." The dragon let out a burst of flames from his mouth roasting Ash with a tooth grin. "Good to see you to buddy." Ash said knowing Charizard's form of affection.
"I can't belive it a Charizard, I never thought I would get to see one up close!" Iris said with stars in her eyes as she looked over Charizard who looked at her confused.
"Hey, looks like we still have to deal with them." Brock said getting the others attention then pointing out Team Rocket crawling out of their crashed balloon.
"You twerps think you're so smart don't you. Jessie said rising to her feet.
"It doesn't take much to outsmart you three." Said Misty.
"That's an understatement." Dawn added.
"Well we were smart enough to have a back up plan. Mewoth spat.
"Send in reinforcements!" James said into a walkie-talkie suddenly a black aircraft with a red R on the side came out of nowhere and landed behind the trio. Then from out of the back of the plane came two dosen men and women wearing Team Rocket uniforms. "Who needs to outsmart someone when you can outnumber them." The Team Rocket members then released thier pokemon consisting of Golbat, Ghastly, Machamp, Houndour, Skarmory, Mightyena, Sableye, Hanchkrow and Weavile who were then joined by Jessie's Seviper, Yanmega, Woobat, Frillish and James's Carnivine Yamask and Amoonguss.
"It will take more than that to scare us!" Ash said not intimidated by the turn of events.
"We'll see about that twerp, go get em!" Meowth ordered and the Team Rocket grunts sent their Pokémon to attack.
"Lets show them what we got guys!" Ash turned to his friends.
"Right!" Everyone said then sent their Pokémon into battle.
"Skitty, Glaceon double Blizzard!" May called out as several Golbats swooped down. Skitty and Glaceon opened their mouths and unleashed a howling blizzard stopping their winged attackers in their tracks. Suddenly from the side came a Skarmory that took aim at the pair but at the last second was struck by a fire spin from Blaziken.
Four Mightyena rushed toward Ash ready to strike. "Donphan, Rollout!" Ash ordered. Donphan charged forward then tucked itself into a wheel then rolled at high-speed toward the dark type knocking them over like bowling pins.
"Mamoswine use Ice Shard and Pachirisu you use spark!" Dawn said as a group of Sableye launched multiple Shadow Balls at her Pokémon. Mamoswine created a huge chunk of ice between its tusks then Pachirisu unleashed an electrical charge on the Ice chunk shattering it into dozens of smaller pieces of ice now electrified that were then launched by Mamoswine smashing through the Shadow Balls striking the Sableye.
A team of Weavile sped toward Swampert in formation with blinding speed. "Swampert Water Pulse!" Brock commanded. As Swampert opened its mouth a blue sphere appeared and began to grow until Swapert fired it at the Weavile exploding into a shock wave of water sweeping them away.
Emolga became surronded on all sides by Hanchkrows as she flew through the air. "Emolga use discharge!" Said Iris." Doing as her trainer had said Emolga unleashed powerful electric shocks all around her defeating the dark flying types.
With Hanchkow and Golbat still filling the air Misty and Tracy had Staryu, Starmie and Marill use rapid fire Water Gun attacks shooting team Rockets remaining flying types out of the sky.
Gary's Blastoise used it's Hydro Pumps to mow down more Sableye then smash through a pack of Mightyena with rapid spin.
"Kirlia use Psychic!" Max ordered as Ghastly and James's Yamask stared down his psychic type. Kirlia's eye's glowed bright blue then fired a shock wave of psychic energy defeating the ghost types.
"Crustle, Rock Slide!" Said Cilan as a more Weavile closed in. Crustle summoned large boulders from out of the sky dropping them the ice types.
Sceptile was being double teamed by two Machamps unleashing a flurry of chops with all eight of their arms. Sceptile blocked each strike with its Leaf Blades then with one swift step between its opponents and a slash of its blades Sceptile brought down both Machamps.
The battle continued on with Ash and his friends coming out victorious. "Retreat!" One of the Rocket grunts cried out as he and the others recalled their fallen Pokémon and ran back to their aircraft but in their haste left Jessie James and Meowth.
"It would seem our odds have diminished." James said worried see they were now greatly outnumbered.
"Lets finish this up guys!" Ash said to his friends.
"Right!"
"Axew use Dragon Rage!" Iris ordered. Axew gathered energy in its stomach then unleashed it from its mouth in the shape of a dragon.
"Pansage, SolarBeam!" Said Cilan. Pansage gather the sun's energy in it's hand then fired it in a concentrated beam.
"Umbreon use Dark Pulse!" Gary commanded. Umbreon unleashed powerful a burst of dark energy.
"Venonat use psybeam!" Said Tracy. Venonat's eyes glowed bright then fired an energy beam of seven colors.
"Kirlia, psychic!" Max ordered. Kirlia's eyes glowed bright then fired a beam of psychic energy.
"Piplup use BubbleBeam! Dawn cried. Piplup then fired a flurry of energised bubbles.
"Blaziken use Overheat!" Said May. Blaziken gathered all energy from it's body then unleash it in a fire blast.
"Gyardos, Hydro Pump!" Misty ordered. Gyardos fired a high pressure blast of water from its mouth.
"Steelix, Stone Edge!" Said Brock. Steelix gathered energy around its body forming into stones then launched them.
"Pikachu, ThunderBolt! Ash called out. Pikachu gathered the stored electricity in its body then unleashed it all at once.
Each attack was fired off then collided with Team Rocket sending them flying through the air. "This feels very familair." Said Jessie. "It does bring to mind a number of past mishaps." James added. "Its been a long time since we said it but. Meowth said. "Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again! the trio said as they soared through the sky until they were nothing more than a twinkle on the horizon.
"What was that? Iris asked.
"That was a Team Rocket blast off, it's how we send those guys packing! Ash answered.
"Well it sure was fun." Iris giggled.
"I must agree, it did leave me with a very satisfied taste." Said Cilan
"Yeah that's the one fun thing about those guys." Dawn stated getting everyone laughing.
"So Ash was your welcome home what you thought it would be?" Brock asked
"Actually it was, and I couldn't be happier." Ash said with a smile. "Now we can finally get to training for the Prism League!
