Alright another chapter done, remember when I said would give Ash 1 or 2 foreign Pokémon at the beginning of the story well scratch obviously, I broke that with the addition of Alola Geodude, and with the addition of 3 due to plan I have for this and other stories. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new story.

NinjaFang1331: Thanks, glad you like the choices. I was debating between Nidoran (M) or Nidoran (F), but I went with the female due to their better defenses when evolving into Nidoqueen.

Irbrenneke: Yes, Ash can get a Chansey, you make great points plus I never seen a story where he catches one. Also, no I never seen the Charmander card.

RKF22: Well, I hope you enjoy them when they're out.

E3roa: Glad you like it; I figured it was the best way to give Ash an Alolan Geodude without going to Alola.

Neotac: Glad you enjoyed it.

CrimsonStarBlade: Yes, Pokémon from Scarlet and Violet are eligible including future games. Very well the fire type shall be first, not only due to your good point but also fire in my favorite type. I do like the idea of Ash being inspired by Blaine.

Mazzam: I can agree to that.

Reader: Glad you enjoyed it.

Darthwolf: I hope you enjoy all future chapters to come.

It had been a day since Ash had added three new additions to his team. Nidoran and Clefairy had already became fast friends and warmed up to the new teammates. Geodude seemed to prefer to be on his own, but he didn't cause trouble which was good. Ash figured it would take a while for the rock to warm up to them. Still, Geodude seemed to take an interest when he heard Ash wanted to be an Electric Master.

Since Geodude already knew Spark, he had Geodude assist Pikachu, Chinchou and Yamper learn Spark. While Yamper was still young, watching them train would help her when she was old enough. When he wasn't assisting with Spark, Geodude was working on Gyro Ball. Pikachu was putting the finishing touches on Grass Knot and started working on Feint. Chinchou now had perfected Water Pulse and Confuse Ray was coming along, and thanks to Geodude so was Spark. Soon they would start working on Ice Beam to deal with Grass types. Clefairy was Water Pulse, Shock Wave, and Magical Leaf. After she learned those, they would be working on her defenses. Nidoran was also working on Water Pulse, and Shock Wave, in addition to Dig. Fortunately, they had a great teacher and were picking up on the basics quickly. The group were doing a pre-breakfast workout, allowing Ash to prepare their food. After they ate, they would continue to make their way to Cerulean before continuing their training.

"Ok come and get it." Ash called out, after placing their bowls down.

Instantly, the Pokémon stopped what they were doing, to get their breakfast. As they all began to dig in, Ash grabbed out his own food, and joined in as well. As breakfast went on, he thought about who to use against the Cerulean Gym leader Misty. Since he had plenty of electric types it would be easy to choose them. However, since he wanted to make sure to give the others a chance, he decided to use one. Pikachu, and Elekid had already fought so Chinchou will be the one to battle. As for his other choice, Clefairy will join her for the battle he had the uttermost confidence they will win.

Once breakfast was over, he let his team relax, as he cleaned up the mess before they took off again. Grabbing the last of his things, he places them away before returning the team except for Pikachu who hopped on his shoulder. The duo continued their journey to Cerulean City for the next battle.

(An hour later)

The two we about 30 mins walk from the city where they would check into the Pokémon Center and continue their training. However, these plans were delayed, as Ash was challenge to a battle, by a purple hair trainer, who sported a purple jacket with navy blue sleeves, dark purple pants, and navy sneakers. Never one to decline a battle, Ash quickly accepted, as Pikachu's cheeks sparked in excitement.

"So, what are they rules umm?" Ash began to ask before realizing he didn't even know his opponent's name.

"It will be a three-on-three battle, we will switch Pokémon after every battle, best 2 out of three wins and my name is Paul." The trainer now identifies as Paul answered, grabbing his first choice.

"Got it, thanks." Ash replied, as he grabbed his first choice.

Both trainers then released their Pokémon at the same time.

"Geodude, I chose you/ Spearow stand by for battle." The two trainers called out.

Geodude popped out, uncrossed his arms with his grunted, glaring at his opponent. From Paul's side a small avian Pokémon with rough brown plumage on its head and tail feathers. The feathers on the underside were a cream color. It also had a pink hooked beak. The two trainers agreed to call out their moves simultaneously and began their battle.

"Geodude use Rock Throw/ Spearow fly out of range then Steel Wing." The two trainers started out with.

Geodude crossed his arms, and his opponent took of into the air, a layer of white energy surrounded Geodude as several rocks appeared circling him. With grunted Geodude thrusted his arms forward, launched the rocks towards his flying adversary who flew around doing its best to avoid the attacks. Spearow's wings then gained a metallic cover, as it then dove down towards Geodude.

"Geodude Defense Curl then Smack Down." Ash countered.

Geodude then wrapped his arms around him, just in time as Spearow slammed its wings into him. Geodude skidded back a bit, before he grabbed a small boulder from the ground, and launched it at the bird. Spearow did its best to fly out of the way only for the boulder to graze its right wing forcing Spearow to the ground.

"Now's your chance use Spark." Ash called out.

"Dude." Geodude grunted as he rolled forward covered electricity. He then slammed into Spearow as the electricity began to cackle around Spearow making it caw out in pain. Spearow fell forward as sparks of electricity surrounded its body.

"Geodude finish it off with Rollout." Ash called out.

Curling up Geodude spun forward rolling at Spearow with surprising speed. As Geodude got closer, Paul called out to Spearow.

"Dodge that." Paul said.

Spearow managed to avoid the attack by leaping out of the way before Geodude could collided with it.

"Use Steel Wing." Paul then continued.

Spearow's wings then lit up again, as he slashed them against Geodude's side causing him to roll back a bit.

"Geodude use Rock Tomb." Ash called out.

Geodude managed to stop itself as he retaliated by summoning another set of rocks and firing them. The pain from Spearow went away enough to take to the air again, avoiding the attacks. Spearow then did a loop into the air before disappearing. It then reappeared, as he rammed into Geodude's midsection, slamming it with white streaks on its sides.

"Geodude grab it." Ash countered.

Surprising Spearow, Geodude managed to wrap its arms around it. Geodude manages to get it in a hold preventing it from flying away.

"Spearow get out of there use Fury Attack." Paul responded.

Spearow's beak lit up, as it viciously began pecking into an attempt to loosen its grip on him.

"Geodude us Rollout." Ash ordered.

Geodude began spinning causing Spearow to cry out in pain, as Geodude spun around with it still in its clutches. Geodude rolled in a circle several times before he eventually came to a stop, throwing Spearow several feet away.

"Wrap it up Geodude use Spark." Ash yelled out.

"Geodude." Geodude grunted as he blitzes forward smashing Spearow sending him flying a few feet away.

Spearow landed on the ground with a thud, and unable to continue. Paul returned Spearow with a sneer on his face muttering pathetic, unbeknownst to Ash who was congratulating Geodude on his victory, who grunted back with a smirk on his face. After returning Geodude, Ash grabbed his next choice as did Paul.

"Nidoran, I choose you/Elekid Stand by for battle." The trainers called out.

Since Nidoran would be battling at the gym, Ash figure using her in a trainer battle, would be a good way to make it up to her. She squeaks happily seeing she was in a battle. On Paul's side his Elekid was released who smirked seeing his opponent.

"Nidoran use Poison Sting." Ash began the battle.

"Elekid use Swift." Paul countered.

Nidoran's horn glowed pink, as she fired several pink needles at Elekid, who responded by firing back several stars. The two attacks collided as Swift managed to overwhelm the Poison Sting, breaking through. Nidoran jumped out of the way narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Quick Attack." Paul continued.

Elekid took off with burst of speed as it rammed into Nidoran sending back. Nidoran let out a cry as she had a hard landing.

"Nidoran use Fury Swipe." Ash countered.

Nidoran got up before sprinting forward and her front, right paw's claws glowed and grew. She then swiped at Elekid several times who evaded every single one. Elekid then began spinning his armed, as electric sparked between his antennae before unleashing a painful Shock Wave causing Nidoran to squeak out in pain.

"Nidoran use Scratch get it away, then another Poison Sting." Ash called out.

Nidoran gritted her teeth, and her claws on her right paw glowed, as she swiped at Elekid, who was caught out guard and was struck causing him to stumble back. Nidoran then blasted another barrage of needles, causing Elekid to grunt and take several steps back.

"Don't let up Screech." Paul retaliated.

Elekid opened his mouth and let out an ear-piercing noise, that caused both Ash and Pikachu to cover their ears. Nidoran stopped her attack, and she raised both paws to her ears to try and block the sound. Taking the opportunity Elekid unleashed another barrage of stars sending Nidoran crashing backwards. Elekid then unleashed another painful shock causing her to twitch in pain. Elekid fired several another round of Swift dealing more damage to Nidoran.

"Nidoran use Fury Swipes." Ash defended.

Nidoran front claws elongated as she slashes at the stars cutting them in half, as they fell to the ground. Ash then told Nidoran to use Growl, and she let out a noise, causing Elekid to glow blue, and its attack lowered.

"Elekid use Quick Attack/ Nidoran defend Poison Sting." The two trainers called out.

Elekid took off with an impressive burst of speed, as Nidoran retaliated by firing several needles toward it. Elekid smirked, as he dashed around avoiding the attack. He then stopped in front of Nidoran smirking as Paul called out a Shock Wave. Elekid unleashed the blast of electricity that engulfed Nidoran causing her to cry in pain before she collapsed unable to continue.

"You did your best good job girl." Ash praised, returning Nidoran to her ball. Paul did the same without saying anything to Elekid, before grabbing his last choice. Looking at his partner Pikachu nodded as he leaped onto the field. Paul looked at Pikachu for a second, before calling out, "Turtwig stand by for battle."

From Paul's last Pokéball emerged, a green turtle, with a brown shell, yellow eyes and lower jaw, and seedling on its head. Grabbing his Pokédex, Ash checked out the interesting turtle.

Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon, a grass type. Its shell is made of earth and when it absorbs water it becomes harder.

If he recalled correctly, he saw a documentary that said Turtwig where from Sinnoh. Guess that means Paul is from Sinnoh.

"Pikachu start off with Nasty Plot." Ash began wanting Pikachu to power up.

Pikachu had a mischievous grin, as dark aura surrounds him, before briefly glowing red, as he powered up. Seeing this Paul told Turtwig to use Growth causing the seedling on his head to glow, before Turtwig attack and special attack increased.

"Pikachu use Shock Wave." Ash called out.

Pikachu's cheeks cackled as he fired off a blast of electricity.

"Turtwig deflect them with Razor Leaf." Paul ordered.

Turtwig fired several leaves as he swung his head, the leaves collided with the electricity blocking the attack from reaching it. Pikachu took the opportunity to dash forward with a Quick Attack, as Turtwig curled up, causing Pikachu to slam into Turtwig's shell as it used Withdraw. Turtwig then retaliated by firing a round of seeds at Pikachu who ran around Turtwig, avoiding the Bullet Seed. Turtwig did best to hit Pikachu only for it to jump out of the way or run the opposite direction.

"Rock Smash." Ash called out.

Pikachu fist glowed red, as he struck who retreated into his shell again. The attack did do much, but Pikachu took a page out of Elekid's book, as he unleashed a massive Shock Wave. Turtwig cried out his pain, as his body felt the electricity course through his body. Pikachu continued the assault, as he smashed his fist into Turtwig, sending skidding back. Turtwig glowed blue, as his defenses dropped. Turtwig wouldn't give in as hen unleashed another Razor Leaf that struck Pikachu sending him back. Turtwig then charged forward as he smacked into Pikachu with a Tackle attack. Pikachu fell on his back as Turtwig unleashed a Bullet Seed.

"Pikachu Dig!" Ash called out.

Pikachu hopped into the air before he burrowed underground and out of sight. Pikachu then re-emerged as he slammed into Turtwig's underside knocking him into the air. As Turtwig was in the air, Paul told him to use Bullet Seed. Turtwig did as told, as he unleashed a barrage of seeds. Pikachu then created a yellow orb, as the tip of his tail before chucking the Electro Ball at Turtwig. The ball of electricity destroys the barrage of seeds that smacked into the turtle. The force caused Turtwig to land on the ground with a thud. Turtwig grunted, as he managed to stand before glaring at Pikachu. Turtwig then fired another set leaves towards Pikachu who moved out the way, before charging forwards with another Quick Attack. As Pikachu avoided the attack, Turtwig swapped over to Bullet Seed which were launched out faster.

Pikachu then smacked into Turtwig, only to see it had retreated with another Withdraw. Turtwig then uncurled himself, as he opened his mouth and chomped down on Pikachu's tail. Pikachu cried out in pain as Turtwig held on his tail, before Turtwig threw Pikachu away from him. Turtwig unleashed another barrage of leaves that slammed into Pikachu.

"Pikachu use Quick Attack." Ash ordered.

Pikachu sprinted forward as he avoided retaliation from Turtwig, then once he was close, Ash called for an Iron Tail. Pikachu's tail lit up with a metallic color as he slammed it into Turtwig's head. As the tail connected with his face, Turtwig managed open his mouth and unleashed a Bullet Seed attack the smack into Pikachu. The two landed on the ground with a thud, as they both struggled to get up, only to collapse.

Paul let out a low huff as he returned Turtwig back into his ball. Ash went up to Pikachu collecting him in his arms, as he carefully picked him up. Pikachu managed to open his eyes and looked into his trainer's eyes before letting out a soft chu. Ash smiled as he cradled Pikachu in his arms and thanked him for his hard work.

"Thank for the battle, it was great." Ash said.

Paul didn't say anything as he decided to walk off, only giving Ash a small wave. Ash seemed surprised, before he decided to continue his journey to Cerulean. With Pikachu in his arms, Ash let his rest, as he walked onwards to the city.

The rest of the trip didn't take too long, as Ash arrived within half an hour. Once there he handed his Pokémon to Nurse Joy who went to check on them, while Ash got settle in his room. After seeing how his battle with Paul turned out, Ash decided to investigate things that can help his Pokémon out for the future. Once they were heal, they would focus on training for the rest of the day. In a few days then they will take on the Cerulean Gym.

Alright, I hope you enjoyed this 2nd chapter. I have a question for the fire type story who you would like to see as Ash's starter, Fuecoco, Scorbunny, Fennekin, Torchic or other. If you choose to let me know the fire type.
