Team Rocket and Viridian Forest

Hello, everyone, this chapter came out sooner than I thought it's also lengthy it introduces the loveable trio Team Rocket and includes Ash and Misty traveling through Viridian Forest there's also a certain rival character that makes his appearance and will play a big role in this arc, let's begin.

The chapter begins where the last one ended It's now nighttime, we see a female officer with blue hair standing guard at the front of the city she gives a small yawn. "Geez I'm bored" the officer says someone then speaks.

"Hello" The voice says surprising the officer she turns and sees a young boy covered in dirt holding an injured Pikachu, the officer gasp and speaks.

"What happened!?" The officer asks as the boy speaks.

We were attacked by a flock of wild Sperow my Pikachu and Caterpie are in bad condition please can you take me to Viridian City's Pokemon center?" Ash asks kindly.

"Of course, right away" the Officer nods and tells Ash to get on her motorcycle the two then drive off as fast as they can. After they leave, we see a very tired Misty caring her destroyed bike she watches Ash and officer drive away she gets mad and yells.

"Don't think you'll get away from me!" Misty shouts and begins to run after them. While the police officer and Ash are driving to the Pokemon Center the officer looks at Ash and speaks.

"By the way my name is Officer Jenny" Jenny say's introducing herself as Ash speaks.

"My name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet town" Ash responds as Jenny nods.

"Nice to meet you Ash it's a good thing you ran into wild Spearow and not Team Rocket" Jenny says once she does Ash gets curious.

"Team Rocket? Ash asks curiously as Jenny speaks.

"Team Rocket is an evil gang that steal trainers Pokemon and will do it by any means necessary we've gotten reports that two grunts and a Meowth are in the area, so we've been on high alert (though I was about to go to sleep) " Jenny responds and says that last part in her mind.

"I see I'll try and be careful" Ash says Jenny nods as they continue to drive towards the Pokemon Center we now shift our focus to the sky.

Up in the sky hidden in the clouds there's a hot air balloon that has the face of a Meowth on it we see two people talking looking at wanted posters.

"I think they got my bad side" The woman with red hair says.

"You always say that Jessie" The blue haired man responds Jessie looks at him and speaks.

"We'll at least it's better than yours James" Jessie says while James gives a small Hmph when he does they then hear another voice.

"Hey we don't got time for this we've got a mission did you two forget?" The voice says catching Jessie and James attention they look in the direction of where the voice came from and speak.

"Your right Meowth" Jessie and James say as the scratch cat smiles and speaks.

"Stealing the Pokemon Centers Pokemon is going to be easy we start in 30 minutes" Meowth says having an evil smile on his face Jessie and James nod their heads in agreement.

At the same time Officer Jenny drives her motorcycle inside the Pokemon Center and reaches the front counter, this alerts the nurse she along with a Pokemon named Chansey quickly run to the front desk the nurse looks at Jenny and speaks.

"What's wrong with you Jenny?!" The nurse asks in anger with her hands on her hips Officer Jenny looks at her and speaks.

"Sorry Nurse Joy but we have an emergency" Jenny says making Joy interested.

"What kind of emergency?" Joy asks she then notices Ash holding Pikachu in his arms. Nurse Joy gasp at the sight of Pikachu and Ash, Ash looks at the nurse and speaks.

"Please Nurse Joy you need to help my Pokemon both Pikachu and my Caterpie are very injured" Ash says pleadingly the nurse nods and speaks.

"Of course, me and Chansey will take good care of them" Nurse joy says with a comforting smile once Ash hands her the Pokemon Joy gets a serious expression on her face as she and Chansey quickly take Pikachu and Caterpie to the back to begin treatment Jenny looks at Ash and speaks.

"Looks like my work here is done take care Ash and I hope your Pokemon get better" Jenny says Ash nods he looks at her and speaks.

"Thank you, Officer Jenny" Ash, responds, Jenny smiles and drives out of the Pokemon center. Ash then looks around for a video phone to call Professor Oak and his mom to tell them about his first day he spots one but before he walks to it, he notices a kid around his age with purple hair and a mean looking face staring at him Ash looks at him and speaks.

"Uh hello" Ash say's nervously.

"Hmph" the boy says he gets up from his chair and walks out of the Pokemon Center confusing Ash.

"Well, that was weird" Ash says to himself, he walks to the video phone and types in Professor Oaks number. The phone rings 3 times until someone picks up.

"Hello this is Professor Oak speaking" Oak says tiredly as he yawns Ash then speaks.

"Hi Professor Oak" Ash says Prof. Oak looks at the boy.

"Hmm ah Ash my boy how are you doing? You look like you had a rough day" Oak says taking in the boy's appearance Ash nods and speaks.

"Yeah, it was crazy" Ash responds and begins to tell the Professor about his day.

"I see that's one crazy day you had If I compare it to Gary's and Leaf's first day yours was definitely the most eventful" Oak says Ash nods.

"Yeah hehe" Ash chuckles while rubbing the back of his head Prof. Oak then speaks.

"Hmm and you also said you saw a Phoenix like Pokemon with Rainbow colors?" Oak asks as Ash nods.

"Yes, it dropped this as well" Ash responds he digs thru his backpack and pulls out the Rainbow feather and shows it to Prof. Oak shocking the old man he looks at it and speaks.

"So, after hundreds of years the legendary Pokemon Ho-oh show's itself" The man says making Ash curious.

"Ho-oh?" Ash questions as Oak continues.

"Yes Ho-oh it is said to be a legendary Pokemon to live in the neighboring region Johto and bring eternal happiness to all that see it" Oak says making Ash smile.

"That's so cool I saw a legendary Pokemon on my first day! So, what can you tell me about this feather?" Ash asks as Oak speaks.

"Hmm I believe it's called a Rainbow Wing I read somewhere that as long as the welder holds on to it they'll be able to see Ho-oh again one day" Oak responds making Ash excited.

"I can see Ho-oh again one day that's awesome! I hope I get to battle it too Gary and Leaf are going to be so jealous when I tell them" Ash stands up and has an excited look on his face with stars in his eyes Prof. Oak then speaks.

"Now Ash I know your excited, but you should be careful there must be a reason why Ho-oh gave you that feather and you shouldn't tell everyone you meet that you got it you never know who want it and use it for their own desires" Oak says in a serious tone looking at the boy Ash nods and speaks.

"Yeah, your right" Ash sighs in disappointment as Oak speaks.

"You can still tell people you really trust of course but still be very mindful" Oak says smiling Ash nods and speaks.

"Yes sir" Ash repsonds making the old man happy as he speaks.

"It was great talking to you Ash I hope the rest of your journey goes a lot smoother than today also make sure to call your mother she really wants to hear about your day" Oak says.

"I will thank you Professor Oak" Ash responds.

"Anytime" Oak says and turns off the video call, Ash then call's his mother after he dials the number the phone rings 3 times until Delia shows up on the screen and speaks.

"Hello Ketchum residents gasp Ash is that you?" Delia asks looking at the boy as Ash speaks.

"Yeah, hey mom" Ash says nervously as Delia speaks.

"Ash what happened to you where are you and why are you so dirty?" Delia asks with concern in her voice.

"Well, it's a long story" Ash responds and tells his mother almost everything that happened today, but he makes sure to leave out seeing Ho-oh and getting the Rainbow Wing, after hearing everything Delia gives a sigh and a small chuckle.

"You know something similar happened to me and your father when we started our journey" Delia says smiling making Ash interested.

"Really?" Ash questions as Delia speaks.

"Yes, just like you your father Red was late to get his starter luckily, he made it in time to receive his Charmander before anyone else could. Your father wanted to travel by himself, but I insisted to go along with him since I was worried for his safety. Unlike Pikachu your father's Charmander listened to him away and was able to help him capture his first Pokemon a Pidgey" Delia says Ash nods as he speaks.

"So, what went wrong?" Ash asks as Delia continues.

"Well, your father was so high off of catching a Pidgey he thought it would be a good idea to challenge the boss of the forest a big Fearow I tried to talk him out of it, but he wouldn't listen to me he grabbed the nearest rock and threw it at the Pokemon. Which as you can guess made the Fearow angry, Fearow chased us close to Viridian City we were almost there, but I tripped and twisted my ankle I didn't have any Pokemon with me at the time Fearow noticed it had its claws out ready to grab me, but your father quickly turned around sending out his Charmander and Pidgey and started to battle Fearow. It was a difficult fight that lasted 30 minutes but your father came out on top with Charmander activating its Blaze ability unleashing a powerful Flamethrower which knocked out Fearow allowing Red to catch it after that he tended to my wounds and carried me back to the Pokemon center I always had a crush on him but after that moment was when I fully fell in love with him just thinking about it again makes me happy." Delia says in a very happy tone and blushing from the memory.

"Whoa I knew dad was/is a great trainer and person, but I didn't know that's how his first day went" Ash says with a shocked expression as Delia nods.

"Yes, I'll make sure to tell him all about your first day whenever he gets back or when he calls, I'm sure he'll be proud of you" Delia says Ash smiles and speaks.

"Thanks mom" Ash says, the two talk a little bit more before ending the phone call. After the phone call ended, he then hears a familiar voice.

"YOU!" An angry voice shouts shocking Ash he quickly turns his head and gets a surprised look on his face when he sees Misty the girl walks over to Ash when she gets close enough she speaks.

"There you are Ash Ketchum!" Misty says angerly making Ash scared he then looks at her burnt bike and speaks.

"What happened to your bike?" Ash asks nervously making Misty angrier as she speaks.

"Your what happened to my bike and you're going to pay me back I'll make sure of it!" Misty responds in anger as Ash speaks.

"Uh could this day get any worse?" Ash questions he puts his hand on his face, as on cue the lights turn off both Ash and Misty hear an explosion which alerts Nurse Joy and Chansey the nurse tells Chansey to keep treating the Pokemon and she'll check it out. Chansey nods as it continues to treat Pikachu and Caterpie Nurse Joy runs out she looks at Ash and Misty and speaks.

"What's going on?!" Nurse Joy asks in concern Ash and Misty look at her.

"We're not sure" They both say everyone then then hear two people laugh and begin to speak.

"To protect the world from devastation"

"To unite all people in every nation"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love"

"To extends our reach to the stars above"

"Jessie"

"James"

"Team Rocket blast off to the speed of light surrender now or prepare to fight"

"Mewoth that's right" the trio say as there's another explosion. After their motto Ash looks at them and speaks.

"Team Rocket? Ah you're the thieves Officer Jenny told me about" Ash say's the trio nods as Jessie speaks.

"Hmmm you seem pretty smart" Jessie says as James speaks.

"If you know who we are then you know what we're here for" James says with an evil grin Meowth speaks next.

"Hand us your Pokemon!" Meowth responds Ash, Misty and Nurse Joy are surprised to hear a Meowth that can talk but they quickly compose themselves Nurse Joy looks at them and speaks.

"The Pokemon here are extremely injured I kindly ask you to leave" Nurse joy says with a serious expression trying to intimidate the trio Jessie and James look at her and smile.

"Hey, look James the nurse is trying to be scary" Jessie says in a sarcastic tone as James speaks.

"Oh, whatever shall we do Jessie" James responds in a sarcastic tone too as Jessie speaks.

"Simple James well, take them by force!" Both Jessie says as she and James send out their Pokemon, when they appear Ash brings out his Pokedex and scans the Pokemon called Ekans and Koffing after he does Jessie and James make their commands.

"Koffing use smog" James calls "Ekans use Poison sting" Jessie calls the two Pokemon fire their attacks, but Ash, Misty and Nurse joy are able to successfully dodge Joy look at Ash and Misty and speaks.

"We need to save the Pokemon!" Nurse joy says the two kids nod Nurse joy quickly runs to the back with Ash and Misty not too far behind.

Meanwhile outside back at her post Officer Jenny notices what's going on at the Pokemon Center she calls for back up and quickly heads to the center. "I hope I'm not too late" Jenny thinks to herself as we cut back to the Pokemon Center.

Nurse joy, Ash and Misty are in a room filled with many Pokeball's they're trying to save as many Pokemon as they can by putting them on the transporter sending them to the nearest center, Meowth, Ekans and Koffing burst through the door shocking the 3 humans Meowth looks at them and speaks.

"We've got you now" Meowth says as it, Koffing and Ekans enter the room Misty gets a serious expression on her face she pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.

"Guess we'll just have to fight" Misty says and throws the Pokeball and speaks.

"Go Starmie!" Misty calls as a starfish like Pokemon appears it gets into a battle stance ready for battle Ash then thinks.

"Man, I wish I had Pikachu and Caterpie with me I only have empty Pokeballs" Ash says to himself in anger as he's going through his Pokeball's he notices that he does have a third Pokemon and wonders when he caught it Misty looks at him and speaks.

"Hey if you have a Pokemon send it out already" Misty says in annoyance.

"Uh right" Ash says he throws the ball when he does the ball appears as the Pokemon begins to take form everyone looks in awe at what Pokemon is when the Pokemon finally takes form both Ash and Misty get disappointed looks on their faces when they see that it's a Magickarp.

"Karp Karp" the fish says as it flops on the ground Ash, Misty, as well as Joy and Starmie are dumbfounded while Meowth laughs.

"Hahahahahahaha what's that useless fish going to do?" Meowth says while laughing hysterically Ash looks at him and speaks.

"You're going eat those words my Magickarp is strong!" Ash states having a determined look Misty looks at him and speaks.

"Do you really believe that?" Misty asks the boy as Ash looks at her.

"Yes!" Ash responds Misty can see the determined look in Ash's eyes she turns back to the battle and speaks.

"Sigh fine I hope you know what you're doing Starmie use Psychic!" Misty calls the starfish fires the psychic waves catching Meowth, Koffing and Ekans off guard as they're pushed out of the room Misty smiles "Way to go Starmie!" Misty cheers "Hiya" Starmie responds Jessie and James get angry and make their next commands.

"Fine take this Ekans use wrap then bite" Jessie commands "Koffing use poison gas" James calls "Starmie try to dodge" Misty calls Starmie was unable to dodge in time as Ekans is too fast its able to wrap the Starfish Pokemon and begins to bite it continuously. Koffing comes in close and sprays Poison gas on Starmie successfully poisoning the Pokemon.

"Starmie no!" Misty says in a worried tone she then looks at Ash and Magickarp and gets angry.

"Hey, shouldn't you do something my Starmie is getting teamed up on" Misty says in anger Ash looks at her and speaks.

"You think I haven't been trying" Ash responds having an annoyed look he then looks back at Magickarp and speaks.

"Come on Magickarp I know you can help!" Ash asks pleadingly the fish looks at Ash.

"Karp Karp" Magickarp says again while still splashing up and down Ash puts his head down in disappointment. In Magickarp's mind he wonders why he's in a strange place he then looks to see a Starmie in trouble and a boy giving him commands "this must be my trainer" Magickarp thinks to itself it gets a serious look on his face, Ash notices and smiles.

"Alright Magickarp use tackle on Ekans to release Starmie!" Ash says commands as Magickarp nods.

"KARP!" Magickarp gives a mighty yell it fly's high into the air and hits Ekans head making it release Starmie Ash makes his next command.

"Now use Tackle on Koffing!" Ash calls again and Magickarp does just that knocking the gas Pokemon away, Meowth and James try to grab Magickarp but the Pokemon is too slippery it Tackle's Meowth in the stomach and slaps James in the face with its tail Ash smiles and cheers.

"Yeah, way to go Magickarp let's keep going" Ash says happily Magickarp lands back on the ground and smiles.

"Karp Karp!" Magickarp says while flopping up and down happily. Everyone is shocked to see just how strong Magickarp is, as Misty is surprised and thinks.

"This kid is impressive" Misty says to herself as Jessie yells.

"AHHHHH this is ridiculous how are you letting this child and fish get the better of you?!" Jessie asks in anger as her teammates look at her James speaks.

"Easy for you to say you didn't get slapped in the face" James says while rubbing his sore face.

"Or hit in the stomach" Meowth says while Koffing and Ekans nod in agreement Jessie then speaks.

"Whatever we can still win this we have them outnumbered once that Starmie falls to the poison it will be easy to take down that fish" Jessie says with an evil grin James, Meowth, Koffing and Ekans nod they turn back to the children. The battle is about to start again but before it does everyone hears a "Pika" they all look at the counter Ash gets a smile on his face and speaks.

"Pikachu!" Ash says happily, Pikachu nods his head at Ash in acknowledgement, Pikachu looks at Jessie, James, Meowth and there Pokemon, he sparks his cheeks and fires a Thunderbolt. Team rocket had no time to react in time as the Thunderbolt hits shocking them they all yell in pain until there's an explosion, they fly thru the roof of the center destroying it and land back in their hot air balloon. Everyone is shocked at what happened, Ash composes himself he runs to Pikachu and gives the yellow mouse a big hug.

"Way to go Pikachu!" Ash says happily.

"Chaaa" Pikachu responds smiling Magickarp flops over and speaks.

"Karp Karp" Magickarp says looking at his trainer and Pikachu making the two of them look at it as Ash speaks.

"Oh, right Pikachu this is Magickarp he's our new teammate/friend" Ash says, Pikachu nods as it and Magickarp happily greet each other Misty then speaks.

"Well looks like it's over" Misty says with a relief sigh while giving Starmie an antidote as Nurse Joy nods.

"Yes, it is" Nurse Joy says she then hears police sirens coming to the Pokemon Center they all see Jenny with a few police officers enter the building Jenny looks at them and speaks.

"Is everyone okay?" Officer Jenny asks, the three humans nod in agreement, Nurse joy gives Jenny a detailed report of what happened allowing Jenny and the other policeman to head out and search for Jessie, James and Meowth. Nurse joy also allows Ash and Misty to stay in the center to rest for the night and they can head out in the morning as she can see how tired they're making the two kids happy.

Meanwhile high in the sky covered in black smoke Team Rocket question their next move as Jessie speaks.

"Uhhh we would've won if it wasn't for that Pikachu" Jessie says in anger.

"I agree that Pikachu was strong" James comments.

"Hmmm I got it why don't we try stealing that Pikachu I'm sure the boss would be happy" Meowth says Jessie and James nod in agreement they start laughing evilly, unbeknownst to Team Rocket a stray Pidgey lands on their balloon and pokes a hole in it causing the balloon to spin out of control.

"LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The trio say as they disappear into the night.


It's now the next morning Ash checked out of the Pokemon Center and is in Viridian Forest with Pikachu walking beside him as they're walking, they hear a voice.

"WAIT!" The voice says Ash and Pikachu turn around and see Misty chasing after them when she reaches them, she stops and begins to pant Ash looks at her and speaks.

"Uhh hey Misty" Ash says Misty looks at him and speaks.

"Don't hey Misty me mister you didn't think I would let you get away without making sure you repay my bike, did you?!" Misty says with an angry expression shocking Ash.

"Ah I forgot" Ash says, Pikachu looks at Ash and shakes his head in disappointment, Misty is about to yell at Ash again but feels something crawling up her leg she looks down and gives a scared expression.

"Hey a Weedle! I'm going to catch it!" Ash says excitingly as he pulls out an empty Pokeball something unexpected happens.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Misty gives a loud scream that hurts both Ash and Pikachu's ears she runs forward grabbing Ash by the collar and runs full speed away from the Weedle, while Pikachu gives chase.

"EW, EW, EW ,EW I HATE BUGS!" Misty screams running as fast as she can while Ash speaks.

"Misty stop you're choking me!" Ash says in pain, after running for a minute they finally come to a stop as Ash and Misty start to catch their breaths Ash looks at her and speaks.

"You really don't like bugs, do you?" Ash asks.

"NO Bugs are one of the 3 most disgusting things in the world!" Misty responds.

"Besides you what are the other 3" Ash says, Misty gives an annoyed look and is about to hit Ash on the head but stops herself as she begins to name the 3.

"Carrots, Peppers and Bugs" Misty says as Ash nods.

"I see will I like all those things and I think your fear of bugs is silly my Caterpie will prove you wrong" Ash says making a funny face and grabbing Caterpie's Pokeball when Misty hears the name Caterpie she gets a scared look on her face.

"Your Caterpie?" Misty asks with worry in her voice, Ash sends out the bug type while Misty quickly goes and hides behind a tree when Caterpie appears Ash looks at it and speaks.

"Hey Caterpie, you look a lot better" Ash says while looking at the small bug, Caterpie nods it then sees Misty hiding behind a tree, Caterpie gives a happy scream and goes to rub Misty's leg much to Misty's annoyance. Misty quickly backs away from the bug hurting Caterpie's feelings Pikachu walks over and gives the bug a pat on the back Ash looks at Misty and speaks.

"Hey, come on Misty you don't need to be so mean to Caterpie" Ash says in a disappointing tone as Misty looks at him.

"Hmph well you can be friends with Caterpie while I'm friends with Pikachu" Misty says as she puts the yellow mouse on her lap begining to pet it, Ash smirks.

"Well don't blame me if Pikachu shocks you, he doesn't do well with strangers" But to Ash's surprise Pikachu allows Misty to pet him.

"Pikachu" Ash says in anger/annoyance while Misty smiles she then looks at Caterpie giving her a sad expression she quickly turns her head away from the bug but Misty gives a small peek at the bug type Ash looks at Caterpie and speaks.

"Well, I don't think your disgusting Caterpie come on you won't bother Misty anymore" Ash says he bends down for Caterpie to climb up his shoulder when the little bug does Pikachu jumps off Misty's lap walking over to its trainer Misty looks at them and speaks.

"Wait where are you going? Misty asks.

"We're leaving you behind and getting out of this forest see ya" Ash responds as he and along with his Pokemon begin to walk away Misty speaks.

"But what about my bike? I'm still holding you responsible" Misty says getting Ash's attention he stops and looks at her.

"I already said I'll pay you back one day so stop following us" Ash responds in an annoyed tone and continues to walk.

"We'll seeing as this is the only way to get out of the forest, I have to go this way as well" Misty says with anger in her voice as Ash speaks.

"Fine then I don't care" Ash responds continuing to walk forward, Pikachu looks back and forth at Ash and Misty and gives a sigh.


It's now nighttime Ash and Misty are sleeping in their sleeping bags, Pikachu hears footsteps it wakes up and notices Caterpie on a log looking up at the sky, Pikachu walks over to the little bug standing next to it Pikachu asks Caterpie what it's looking at as Caterpie begins to tell Pikachu that its dream is to one day become a Butterfree. Pikachu nods the two then continue to talk for an hour until they go to sleep.

It's now the next morning Ash and Pikachu are still asleep sd Misty is the first to wake she feels something in her sleeping bag she looks and gets a horrified look on her face screaming so loud that it scares the Pidgey in a faraway tree.

"What's going on?!" Ash says as he and Pikachu instantly wake up they scan the area but see nothing, Ash then looks over at Misty hiding away from Caterpie he gives a sigh Misty looks at him and speaks.

"Ash, I thought I told you to keep that bug away from me!" Misty says with a scared expression As as speaks.

"We'll it's not my fault that Caterpie wants to get close to you" Ash responds meanwhile Caterpie has tears coming out of it's eyes it begins to crawl away Ash tries his best to comfort Caterpie, but the bug continues and disappears into the bush, Ash looks at Misty with anger in his eyes.

"What's wrong with you!?" Caterpie's been nothing but nice to you and you've been treating him like garbage if someone did that to you or your Pokemon you wouldn't like that now would you!" Ash says in anger looking at the red head waiting for to respond.

"I- "Misty was about to respond back but couldn't think of anything it's true she doesn't like bug Pokemon but Caterpie wasn't being mean or trying to scare her it only really wanted to be her friend. Misty is about say she's sorry but before she could Ash, Misty and Pikachu hear Caterpie scream they hurry over and see a Pidgeotto hovering over Caterpie.

"Caterpie!" Ash yells in worry watching the circle above Caterpie he looks at Pikachu and speaks.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt" Ash commands, Pikachu nods and unleashes the electric attack hitting the bird Pokemon, Pidgeotto looks over at Pikachu and charges a quick attack Ash makes his next move.

"Pikachu counter with your quick attack!" Ash commands, Pikachu dashes forward as it and Pidgeotto collied with one another Pidgeotto is about to fly away and attack again but notices Pikachu holding on its leg sparking its cheeks.

"Now Thunderbolt!" Ash yells.

"Pikachuuuu!" Pikachu fires the attack point blank range shocking the bird making Pidgeotto cry out in pain both Pokemon fall on the ground, Pikachu still standing while Pidgeotto is unconscious Pikachu looks back to Ash.

"Pika" Pikachu says telling Ash now the boy nods and turns his hat backwards he grabs one of his empty Pokeballs and throws it at Pidgeotto.

"Pokeball Go!" Ash says the ball flies thru the air until it hits the bird sucking it inside it shakes 2 times until it dings making it a successful catch, Ash would usually celebrate that he caught a new Pokemon but he quickly runs to Caterpie to check on its condition thankfully the injures are minor Misty walks over and speaks.

"Here use a Super Potion" Misty says pulling the bottle from her bag giving it to Ash, Ash and Pikachu are shocked that Misty wants to help Caterpie he looks at her and smiles.

"Thank you, Misty," Ash says with Misty nodding Ash then sprays the potion on Caterpie healing the bugs injuries after a few seconds Ash speaks.

"Caterpie are you okay" Ash asks Caterpie blinks a few times but gives a happy cry as everyone gives a sign of relief happy that Caterpie is okay Misty looks at the bug and speaks.

"Caterpie I'm sorry for calling you disgusting" Misty says she then walks up to the bug Pokemon and bends down as she continues to talk.

"I promise I'll try and be your friend from now on if that's okay with you?" Misty says with a sorrowful look. Caterpie looks into Misty's eye's it can see that Misty is being genuine the bug gives a happy nod, making everyone smile. But the moment is quickly ruined when they hear three familiar voices they look over and see Team Rocket again the trio do their motto as Ash and Misty speak.

"Team Rocket!" Ash and Misty say with anger in their voices as James speaks.

"We've returned and are here to steal your Pikachu" James says surprising Ash as he speaks.

"Pikachu? Why Pikachu" Ash questions as Jessie speaks.

"After it defeated us at the Pokemon Center we've come to the decision to steal your Pikachu since we believe it'll be very useful to our organization" Jesse answers as Meowth speaks.

"Yeah, so hand it over!" Meowth says making Ash mad.

"Not a chance I'm not letting you take Pikachu" Ash responds back having a serious look in his eyes Jessie and James aren't intimidated by Ash and grab their Pokeballs.

"Fine then!" Jesse and James say bringing out Ekans and Koffing respectively the two mons get into a battle stance as Ash speaks.

"Hey! 2 against 1 that's not fair!" Ash says as James speaks.

"We're criminals' kid we don't play by the rules" James responds with an evil smirk Ash grits his teeth but feels a hand on his shoulder he looks and sees Misty giving him a reassuring look.

"Don't forget Ash I'm here too" Misty says with a wink and sends out her Starmie Ash smiles and speaks.

"Thanks Misty" Ash says with Misty nodding Ash looks at Pikachu.

"Let's go buddy!" Ash says Pikachu nods and gives a "Pika" agreeing with Ash it walks next to Starmie and begins to spark its cheeks. Both trainers and Pokemon look at each other for a few seconds until they command their Pokemon to charge when they do the Pokemon collide. As they're battling Pikachu and Starmie are putting up a great fight against Koffing and Ekans but things go bad when Koffing gets sludge in Pikachu's eye forcing Pikachu to stop battling Misty and Starmie stop too so they can clean Pikachu's eyes Ash gets mad and speaks.

"Why you!" Ash says charging at Team Rocket he tries to throw a punch, but James stops Ash with his finger he then flicks Ash's forehead causing Ash to back away James then speaks.

"You know in a Pokemon battle the Pokemon do the battling right?" James says in a mocking tone as Ash looks at him.

"I thought you guys said you don't play by the rules?" Ash questions as Jessie speaks.

"Pokemon battles are an exception" Jessie responds shrugging her shoulders.

"Now hand over your Pikachu and the rest of your Pokemon" Meowth says Ash doesn't want to give up he's about to bring out Pidgeotto and Magickarp but stops when Caterpie jumps forward he looks at the bug and speaks.

"You want to battle Caterpie?" Ash asks as Caterpie looks at him.

"Aroo" Caterpie responds and turns back at Team Rocket having a serious expression making Ash smile.

"Alright Caterpie I choose you" Ash says with confidence with Caterpie nodding when he does the Jessie and Meowth look at Caterpie and begin to laugh.

"Hahahahahaha What's that little bug going to do?" Jessie says while laughing as James looks at her.

"Uhhh should we really underestimate it you remember what his Magickarp did to us right?" James says with a worried look on his face Meowth looks at him and speaks.

"Oh, please Jimmy that was a fluke the kid just got lucky" Meowth responds he continues to laugh while James nods.

"I guess your right let's take this bug down" James says with more confidence in his voice Jessie nods as their Ekans and Koffing stare at the bug Misty speaks.

"Come on Caterpie you can do this we believe in you!" "Pika!" "Hiya!" Misty, Pikachu and Starmie cheer on Caterpie the bug nods as Jessie and James speak.

"Go Koffing and Ekans!" Jessie and James yell the two Pokemon charge at Caterpie as Ash makes his command.

"Use string shot!" Ash calls Caterpie quickly shoots out very thick String covering Koffings body and Ekans face Jessie, James and Meowth are left in disbelief.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Jessie yells in anger as James speaks.

"I told you we shouldn't have underestimated it" James says with his confidence gone as Meowth speaks.

"What do we do now?!" Meowth asks as Jessie looks at Meowth the scratch cat looks back at Jessie confused the two-keep staring at each other for a few seconds until Jessie grabs Meowth and speaks.

"You're a Pokemon too so get in there and fight!" Jessie yells throwing Meowth towards Caterpie, Meowth screams but quickly brings out his claws to scratch the bug Ash makes a command.

"Caterpie use tackle on Koffing!" Ash calls Caterpie quickly tackles Koffing in the air colliding with Meowth both Pokemon then fall on Ekans and all three roll back to Jessie and James shocking the two adults as Ash makes his next move.

"Now use String Shot again! And finish with Tackle" Ash calls Caterpie fires String shot at Jessie, James and there Pokemon wrapping them together, Caterpie then charges forward and hits them with Tackle launching Team Rocket high in the air as they yell.

"IT LOOKS LIKE TEAM ROCKETS BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The trio yell as they fly through the air until there's a ding Ash gets a smile on his face, he runs over to Caterpie and speaks.

"Great job Caterpie!" Ash says excitedly he picks up the bug and holds it in the air congratulating it. Caterpie nods happily, Misty, Pikachu (the sludge is finally out of its eyes) and Starmie all cheer for Caterpie Ash looks at Misty and speaks.

"See Misty Caterpie isn't so bad" Ash says Misty nods and speaks.

"Your right" Misty responds smiling she walks over to the bug Pokemon going to pet its head, as Misty's hand is about to reach Caterpie the bug starts shooting string shot from its mouth surprising both Ash and Misty, Ash puts Caterpie down the two trainers and Pokemon watch as Caterpie body starts to change form. After a few seconds what stands in front of everyone isn't a Caterpie but a Metapod Ash looks at Metapod and gets a smile on his face.

"Congratulations Metapod you evolved!" Ash says excitedly as he picks up the hard shell Pokemon and hugs it.

"Pika!" Pikachu says happily and Starmine is happy too. Misty is left stunned at what just happen, Ash looks at Misty smirks he walks over to the red head and speaks.

"So, Misty you still going to give Metapod a pat on the head right?" Ash asks in a mocking tone Misty has a nervous look on her face as she speaks.

"Uhh I think I'll pass for now" Misty responds she returns Starmie and quickly runs away from Ash the boy then gives chase.

"Come on Misty you just need to touch it once Hehehe" Ash says while laughing.

"No way I hate bugs!" Misty responds but is also smiling.

"Pika" Pikachu says, having a smile on its face as it runs after the two trainers.


It's now the next day Misty is by herself currently looking for berry's when someone in what looks like a samurai suit jumps out from the bush pointing his sword forward scaring Misty as she yells.

"AHHHHH!" Misty screams in fear as the boy wearing the armor speaks.

"Are you a trainer from the town of Pallet?" The boy in the Samurai outfit asks as Misty speaks.

"No, I'm not" Misty responds in a very shaky voice the boy wearing the Samurai armor nods.

"I see I'm sorry I shall take my leave" The boy bows apologetically he puts his sword back in its sheath and walks away from Misty.

"That was weird" Misty says and gives sigh of relief she then thinks about what that boy said.

"The town of Pallet do I know anyone from there... Oh no Ash" Misty gasp and begins to quickly run to where Ash is to warn him.

Elsewhere in the forest Ash is currently battling a Weedle with his Magickarp we see the fish use Tackle making Weedle hit a tree the bug then falls to the ground in defeat Ash gets a smile on his face he looks at Magicakarp and speaks.

"Good job Magickarp" Ash says happily with Pikachu also congratulating the fish, Magickarp looks back at them and smiles.

"Karp Karp" Magickarp says while it happily jumps up and down next to the defeated Weedle Ash then grabs an empty Pokeball he looks at Weedle and speaks.

"Alright Weedle your mine" Ash says he turns his hat backward he's about to throw his Pokeball but before he does someone in Samurai armor jumps out in front of him pointing his sword at Ash's nose.

"HIYA" The Samurai yells shocking Ash as he yells.

"AHHHHHHH!" Ash screams, Pikachu and Magickarp are shocked and don't notice the Weedle escaping the boy in Samurai armor then speaks.

"Are you a trainer from the town of Pallet?" The boy in Samurai armor asks Ash looks at him and speaks.

"Yes, I am" Ash says nervously the boy in Samurai armor smiles he looks at Ash and speaks.

"Ah I've finally found you" The boy says he pulls his sword away from Ash's face placing it back in its sheath Ash along with Pikachu and Magickarp give a relief sigh when they do the boy in samurai armor looks at Ash and speaks.

"My name is Samurai, and I would like to request a battle with you" Samurai says.

"A battle?" Ash blinks a couple times before smirking "You're on!" Ash responds raising his fist up Pikachu and Magickarp get an excited look as well all three don't notice the Weedle escaping before Ash and Samurai battle they hear a voice.

"ASH!" Misty shouts and reaches Ash see begins to pant heavily clearly out of breath, but she quickly composes herself and speaks.

"Ash, we need to get out of here there's some weird kid dressed in Samurai armor carrying around a sword" Misty says she looks at Ash who's looking at her she then faces forward and gets a worried look on her face when she sees Samurai she yells.

"AHHHHH! he's here!" Misty yells and hides behind Ash confusing the boy Samurai looks at Misty and speaks.

"Ah you're the girl I met earlier I'm sorry for scaring you my name is Samurai" Samurai bows apologetically Ash looks at Misty and speaks.

"Yeah, Misty it's fine besides I'm not leaving since he challenged me to a battle" Ash says making Misty curious.

"A battle?" Misty questions she blinks a couple times and looks at Samurai.

"If that's true then you don't need to dress up in armor and scare every person you see" Misty says with a sterned expression and places her hands on her hips as Samurai bows apologetically again Ash then speaks.

"By the way why are you looking to battle trainers from Pallet town anyway?" Ash asks as Samurai speaks.

"Well, you see" Samurai explains that he battled 3 beginning trainers from Pallet town already and they all defeated him easily he was especially impressed with the girl who had Bulbasuar the Pokemon knocked out his two strongest Pokemon in just two moves and she was cute (Samurai thinks to himself on that last comment) Ash then speaks.

"Whoa I expected that Damien kid and Gary to be great at battles but not Leaf if I ever have to battle her, I'll need to be really careful" Ash says to himself as Samurai speaks.

"There was also a kid with purple hair and angry eyes that caught a powerful Beedrill, Pinsir and Nidorino using Pokemon not native to the Kanto region I was going to ask him for a battle too, but something told me to not bother him" Samurai says as Ash nods.

"I see it must be that must be the trainer I saw at the Viridian Pokemon Center guess I'll have to watch for him to" Ash says as Samurai speaks.

"We'll how about it you ready to battle it'll be a 3v3 Pokemon battle whoever defeats all of their opponents Pokemon first is the winner" Samurai says Ash looks at him he gets excited and speaks.

"Yeah, let's do it this'll be good training before my battle at the Pewter gym" Ash says with Samurai nodding Misty then speaks.

"Guess I'll be the Referee" Misty gives a sigh as Ash and Samurai go to their sides of the battlefield Misty stands between them and speaks.

"If both trainers are ready, you may now send out your first Pokemon" Misty says as both Ash and Samurai send out their first Pokemon.

"Magickarp I choose you" Ash yells as the fish Pokemon jumps on the battlefield it then begins to happily jump up and down ready to battle.

"Go Scyther!" Samurai yells as a giant mantis looking Pokemon comes out crying its name and sharping its scythes Ash looks at it and speaks.

"A Scyther? Cool" Ash says with grin he looks at Magickarp and speaks.

"Be careful of those Scythes Magickarp" Ash warns the fist as Magickarp jumps in acknowledgement Misty then speaks.

"If both trainers are ready, you may now begin!" Misty says raising both her arms, when she does Samurai makes the first move.

"Get in close and use Quick attack Scyther!" Samurai commands as the mantis Pokemon quickly hits Magickarp knocking it in the air shocking Ash.

"Whoa that's fast" Ash says with a shocked face but quickly gets over it and gives Magickarp a command.

"Magickarp use that momentum and come straight down for a Tackle on Scythers head!" Ash calls Magickarp quickly opens its eyes it fly's straight down at blinding speed successfully hitting Scythers head and knocking it on the ground. Magickarp leaps off Scyther and waits for Ash's next command as it's waiting Scyther struggles to get up, it and Samurai are surprised they weren't expecting Magickarp to be this strong Samurai smirks.

"Alright then Scyther raise your attack power by using Swords Dance!" Samurai commands Scyther gives a mighty cry as three swords appear they dance around the bug raising its attack Scyther looks at Magickarp as Ash speaks.

"This is bad I need to end this fast" Ash says to himself he then says calls for his next command.

"Magickarp use Tackle" Ash calls Magickarp gives a mighty "KARP!" it quickly dashes towards Scyther as Samurai makes a command.

"Counter with Quick Attack Scyther!" Samurai yells Scyther quickly dashes forth when it does both Pokemon collide, Magickarp tries it's best to push forward but since Scyther increased its attack power Scyther wins the exchange by pushing Magickarp into a tree Ash looks at the fish and speaks.

"Magickarp!" Ash calls in worry, Scyther backs away, when it does, we see Magickarp on the ground heavily damaged but is still ready to battle shocking Samurai, Scyther and even Misty are shocked at just how tough Magickarp is while Ash has a smile on his face. Samurai shakes his head composing himself and calls for his next attack.

"Use X Scissor!" Samurai yells Scyther quickly dashes forming its Scythes in a X shape going to hit the fish as Ash calls for his next move.

"Dodge and use Flail!" Ash yells Magickarp manages to dodge the X Scissor and lands a powerful Flail on Scyther's abdomen. Scyther coughs in pain it feels as though the wind was knocked out the bug stumbles back a little bit but like Magickarp it won't give up Samurai calls for his next command.

"Scyther get in close with Quick attack then give that fish your most powerful Slash!" Samurai yells Scyther roars it quickly reaches Magickarp going to hit it with Slash as Ash speaks.

"Magikarp dodge!" Ash yell's but was too late Scyther brings its scythes down knocking Magickarp to the ground creating a cloud of dust.

"Magickarp!" "PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu yell, Misty wants to yell as well but she must remain impartial, Samurai and Scyther give a sign of relief thinking the battle is over but they then see a blue glow in the smoke and hear a mighty roar.

"KARPPPPPPP!" Magickarp gives a mighty roar while glowing a bright blue shocking everyone as Samurai speaks.

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" Samurai yells in disbelief as his and Scyther's mouths comedically drop to the ground.

"Is Magickarp evolving?" Ash thinks and looks at his Pokedex scanning Magickarp and learns that the fish learned a new move.

"Bounce The user bounces up high, then drops on the target on the second turn. This may also leave the target with paralysis." The Pokedex says Ash looks at Magickarp and speaks.

"That's great Magickarp use Bounce!" Ash calls Magickarp gives a mighty "KARPPP!" and jumps high into the air it begins to charge up its attack Samurai looks up at Magickarp and speaks.

"We're not losing Scyhter use Swords Dance then Quick Attack" Samurai yells Scyther gives a mighty roar increasing its attack power and quickly goes after Magickarp. In that moment Magickarp finished charging and heads straight down at the incoming Scyther.

"SCYTHER USE SLASH!" Samurai screams from the top of his lungs.

"MAGICKARP DODGE AND LAND YOUR ATTACK!" Ash also screams from the top of his lungs as Magickarp and Scyther are getting closer they roar at each other.

'KARP!'

"SCY!"

Scyther goes to land the Slash but Magickarp dodges at last second hitting Scyther in the abdomen again and the two Pokemon come crashing down at breakneck speed creating a crater in the battlefield and making a large smokescreen. Misty runs forward to see who came out the victor it's difficult to see because of the smoke but as the smoke clears, she gives a small smile, so Samurai and Ash don't see she raises her left hand and speaks.

"Scyther is unable to battle Magickarp wins the victor is Ash from Pallet Town" Misty says Ash smiles and cheers.

"Yeah!" "Pika!" Ash and Pikachu yell happily Magickarp is splashing up and down as well happy it won the battle, Ash and Pikachu run down to the fish Pokemon and give it a big hug Ash looks at the fish and speaks.

"Great job Magickarp!" Ash says Magickarp nods and gives a happy "Karp". Samurai is shocked at the outcome but smiles and returns his Scyther he looks at the ball and speaks.

"You did well my friend" Samurai says as he puts the ball away, Ash also returns Magickarp he and Pikachu head back to their side of the battlefield when they make it Ash turns to Samurai and speaks.

"My Magickarp's pretty strong huh!" Ash says with a smile Samurai looks at Ash and speaks.

"It is indeed Ash I've never seen a Magickarp as tough as yours" Samurai says "Me neither" Misty thinks to herself Ash grabs his next Pokeball and speaks.

"Well, the battles not done yet I'm winning this go Pidgeotto!" Ash says he throws the ball containing the bird Pokemon Pidgeotto appears giving a mighty "PIJO!" and lands on the battlefield Samurai grabs his next Pokeball too and speaks.

"Okay then go Pinsir!" Samurai yells and out comes a big brown Pokemon with giant pincers coming out of its head, Misty shakes in fear a little bit but calls for the match to begin Ash makes the first command.

"Pidgeotto use Wing Attack!" Ash commands Pidgeotto's wings glow white it flies forward as Samurai makes a command.

"Catch it!" Samurai yells, Pinsir holds out it's hand and grabs Pigeotto's face, Ash is surprised and tells Pigeotto to get out of Pinsir's grip, but the bird is unable to Samurai then speaks.

"Use Vicegrip!' Samurai commands Pinsir puts Pidgeotto between its Pincers and starts squeezing the bird Pokemon, Pidgeotto cries out in pain as Ash is trying his best to think of a way to get Pidgeotto free Samurai speaks.

"Don't worry Ash I'll set your bird free" Samurai says smiling and commands his next attack.

"Pinsir let go of Pidgeotto and use Rockslide!" Samurai calls Pinsir flings Pidgeotto up in the air and summons multiple rocks that fly straight at Pidgeotto knocking the bird to the ground Ash then calls out to it.

"PIDGEOTTO!" Ash yells with a worried expression, the Rockslide stops creating a dust cloud as it clears it shows Pidgeotto on the ground defeated Misty then makes the call.

"Pidgeotto's unable to battle Pinsir's the winner" Misty says Samurai and Pinsir cheer as Ash returns Pidgeotto he tells it that he's sorry and that he won't let something like that happen again, he then brings out his final Pokeball and throws it.

"Metapod I choose you!" Ash says Metapod appears and is ready to battle as Misty speaks.

"Pinsir vs Metapod battle begin!" Misty yells as Samurai makes the first move.

"Use Vicegrip Pinsir!" Samurai commands the giant bug runs forward it picks up Metapod and is about use its move as Ash speaks.

"Use Harden!" Ash yells Metapod quickly increases its defenses Pinsir squeezes as hard it can, but it can't get pass Metapods defenses Pinsir squeezes so hard that's its Pincer's break dropping Metpod on the ground and fainting.

"Pinsir's unable to battle Metapod wins!" Misty calls as Ash cheers.

"Good job Metapod!" Ash says happily as Metpod closes its eyes happy that it won. Samurai returns Pinsir and sends out his last Pokemon he grabs his final Pokeball and throws it.

"Go Metapod!" Samurai yells, the other Metapod appears ready to battle as well Misty makes the call.

"Metapod vs Metapod battle begin!" Misty says as Samurai speaks.

"Use Harden Metapod!" Samurai says as Ash speaks.

"Well use Harden too" Ash says both Pokemon begin to harden their bodies, Ash and Samurai keep calling for both Pokemon to use harden until 10 minutes pass.


10 minutes later Ash and Samurai call for Harden one more time until they fall over exhasted, meanwhile off to the side Misty and Pikachu got bored watching the battle so they decided to sunbathe. At that moment the group hear multiple buzzing sounds heading in their direction, Samurai immediately stands up returns his Metapod and starts running Ash looks at him and speaks.

"Hey, our battle isn't done yet!" Ash yells Samurai looks to Ash.

"The battle is cancelled If you want to live return your Pokemon and follow me!" Samurai says as he continues to run, Ash was about to say something, but he then notices a bunch of Beedrill coming out of the forest, he, Misty, Pikachu and Metapod all have scared looks on their faces. Misty immediately starts running in Samurai's direction as Pikachu starts to fire multiple Thunderbolts to try and knockout as many Beedrill as it can Ash was just about to return Metapod but a random Beedrill picks up the Pokemon instead taking it away Ash looks on and yells.

"METAPOD!" Ash yells having a horrified look Ash is about to run after the Beedrill until Misty grabs him by his arm and starts pulling him in the direction Samurai went, Pikachu stops his attack and quickly follows the two trainers. All three run as fast as they can until they see a cabin Samurai opens the door and speaks.

"Quickly in here!" Samurai says, Ash, Misty and Pikachu make it inside Samurai quickly closes the door and the group see several stingers stab threw the door it continues for a few more moments until it eventually stops, everyone gives a sigh a relief they all stay in silence for a few moments until Ash speaks.

"I'm going back out there" Ash says as everyone looks at him Misty then speaks.

"Are you crazy!" Misty says, "Pika" Pikachu says in disapproval, "That's a terrible idea" Samurai says all three continue to look at the boy as Ash continues to speak.

"But I have to go they have Metapod" Ash says with a worried expression on his face Samurai then speaks.

"Still how do you expect to fight all those Beedrills? If they spot you, they'll make sure there's nothing left of you" Samurai says with a serious tone Ash gets angry as he yells.

"I DON'T CARE!" Ash yells in anger shocking everyone the room becomes silent as Ash speaks.

"They have not only my Pokemon but my friend out there who can't even defend himself I made a promise to Metapod when it was a Caterpie that I was going to protect it if I can't do that then what kind of trainer am I!" Ash says as tears start to form his eye's Misty and Pikachu look at Ash and have sad expressions on their faces.

"Ash" Misty says with a sad look "Pika" says with its ears down, Samurai still has a serious expression he gives a sigh and speaks.

"Fine I'll help" Samurai says as everyone looks at him as he continues to speak.

"if I was in your position, I would do the same thing" Samurai says he walks up to Ash and puts a hand on his shoulder smiling his smile then goes away as he continues.

"But if we're going to do this you have to listen to me a be very careful" Samurai having a serious expression Ash, Misty and Pikachu nod having the same expression too Samurai then begins to tell them the plan.


5 minutes go by, and the group is under Samurai's Beedrill protection net they it to where the Beedrill nest is not only are there Beedrill but there's also Weedle and Kakuna resting on the tree as they're looking Samurai speaks.

"I guess the reason why Beedrill took Metapod is because they probably thought it was one of their own" Samurai says the group nod Misty then notices something and whispers to Ash.

"Ash look its Metapod" Misty says, Ash quickly looks in the direction where Misty is pointing and gets a reliefed expression on his face he looks to Samurai and speaks.

"So how do we get Metapod out of there?" Ash asks Samurai takes out a Pokeball and brings out a Pokemon called Oddish the little plant Pokemon looks at its trainer and speaks.

"Odd" the Pokemon says Samurai then gives it a command.

"Use Sweet Scent to draw the Beedrill and Weedle away" Samurai says whispering to Oddish, Oddish nods and sends out a sweet smell in the direction of the Beedrill and Weedle. The bug Pokemon love the smell as they go to it Oddish sends the smell in another direction making the Beedrill and Weedle go that way Samurai looks at the plant and speaks.

"Good job Oddish" Samurai says with the plant Pokemon nodding Samurai then returns Oddish to it's Pokeball he looks at Ash, Pikachu and Misty and speaks.

"Come on let's go" Samurai says the group nod they quickly make their way to Metapod, with the Beedrill and Weedle gone Ash and the others make it to where Metapod is Ash bends down picking up the Pokemon he looks at it and speaks.

"Hey, Metapod I'm sorry you were taken away by the Beedrill we're here to rescue you" Ash says but Metapod gives no response Ash puts his head down thinking Metapod is angry at him Misty looks at him and speaks.

"Ash hurry return Metapod to its Pokeball before the Beedril come back" Misty says, Ash nods but before he could everyone then hear cracking sounds, they all look at the Kakuna and get worried looks on their faces. The Kakuna shells crack more and more until they open what appear out of the shells are a horde of angry Beedrils.

"AHHHHHH!" They all scream with Misty screaming the loudest, the Beedrill instantly charge they fly pass Samurai, Misty and Pikachu since they're under the net and head straight for Ash and Metapod.

"ASH!" "PIKA PI!' Misty, Samurai and Pikachu scream in horror, Ash closes his eyes for the incoming attack holding onto to Metapod tightly as he's doing that something unexpected happens Metapod jumps out of Ash's arm and blocks the Beedrill's stinger that was going to hit Ash. When it does Metapod starts to glow a bright white blinding everyone, Metapod's shell cracks opens as what appears is a beautiful Butterfree the mon flies in the air and speaks.

"Free, free!" Butturfree says Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Samurai look on in amazement while the Beedrill are surprised, Butterfee then uses sleep powder and puts all the Beedrill to sleep, Ash runs up to Butterfree and gives it a big hug.

"Thank you Butterfree" Ash says happily.

"Free!" Butterfree nods, Misty and Samurai smile while Pikachu points its 2 fingers in the air making a peace sign after that they all go back to Samurai's cabin.


It's now the next day Samurai had Ash and Misty spent the night in his cabin and took them to the edge of Viridian Forest where they'll reach Pewter City so Ash can get his first badge Ash looks to Samurai and speaks.

"Thank you, Samurai we couldn't have gotten out that forest without you" Ash says as he and Samurai shake hands Samurai looks at Ash and speaks.

"You're welcome" Samurai responds as Misty speaks.

"Now don't go jumping out bushes and scaring people again" Misty says sternly in a joking tone.

"Hehehe I'll try" Samurai laughs and rubs the back of his neck Ash looks at him and speaks.

"So, what are you going to do now?" Ash asks as Samurai looks at him.

"I'm going to continue my training here and then head down to Fushia City to become master Koga's apprentice so we might see each other again" Samurai says Ash smiles and speaks.

"Sounds great if we see each other again let's have a battle I'll be sure to win" Ash says smiling as Samurai looks at him.

"Heh we'll see Oh one more thing I forgot to give you something" Samurai says he reaches in his pocket pulling out a letter and hands it to Ash. Ash opens the letter and gets a big smile on his face.

"It's from Leaf!" Ash says in excitement as Misty speaks.

"That's your childhood friend from Pallet town, right?" Misty questions as Ash looks at her.

"Yeah, she's more than a childhood friend she's like my twin sister" Ash says with a grin Misty nods as Samurai speaks.

"After our battle lady Leaf handed me that letter stating she'll be waiting for you at Pewter City" Samurai says when he does, Ash starts reading the letter what Samurai said is true Leaf will be waiting for Ash in Pewter City to watch his gym battle, visit the Pewter City Museum and catch up, she'll be waiting at the Pewter City Pokemon Center Ash then speaks.

"Man, I'm so excited to see Leaf again what about you Pikachu?" Ash says looking at the mouse on his shoulder.

"Pika" Pikachu says happily as it vaguely remembers a girl named Leaf at Oaks lab. With that Samurai heads back into Viridian Forest while Ash, Pikachu and Misty head to Pewter City. Ash looks on ahead looking forward to not only seeing his friend Leaf again but also finally getting his first gym badge.

That's chapter 2 we covered a lot in this chapter, at first, I thought this chapter would be a similar length as chapter 1 but as I kept writing more ideas came to my mind and I couldn't stop lol. As for the Rainbow Wing I'm probably not going to bring it up again until I do Johto but who knows I might change my mind, anyway, give me your thoughts on this chapter and thank you reading.

Chapter 3 will probably come out sometime later this week or next week.

Next Chapter: The Pewter Gym and a new rival!?
