Chapter 6 Bulbasaur and Squirtle

Here's chapter 6 everyone this chapter will mainly focus on Bulbasaur and Squirtle enjoy!

"BULBASUAR!" The group say with shocked expressions, Ash loses his shocked look and gets excited.

"I wasn't expecting to find a wild Bulbasaur I'm going to catch it Pokeball Go!" Ash throws the Pokeball but the plant dinosaur smacks the ball back at Ash hitting him in the face.

"Ow" Ash says as he rubs his face, the wild Bulbasaur uses this opportunity to take the scared Oddish and run away.

"Wait come back!" Ash says as he, Pikachu, Misty and Brock start to chase after the Pokemon, after running for a few moments they come to a pretty broken up bridge that's hanging over a running river.

"Uh maybe we should go a different way Ash" Brock states with Misty and Pikachu nodding

"Come on guys it shouldn't be too bad all we have to do is take it slow" Ash responds back

"Okay you go first" Brock and Misty say with Ash shrugging his shoulders Pikachu climbs on Ash's shoulder and the two carefully walk on the broken bridge. After a few moments Brock and Misty join him as all three trainers walk on the bridge slowly.

"We're almost there guys" Ash says encouraging his friends who are too scared to respond back. Just then a large gust of wind blows that breaks the bridge shocking everyone.

"AHHHHHH!" "PIKA!" The three trainers and Pikachu scream in fear as they do their best to hold on thankfully, they held on and are now closer to the other side of the bridge they just need to climb up now.

"Pikachu you go first" Ash says with Pikachu quickly reaching the top, with Ash slowly starting to climb up next, then Misty its now Brocks turn but as soon as he begins to climb a large wind comes breaking the bridge even more and Brock starts to fall in the river.

"BROCK!" Misty screams in horror as Ash quickly acts and brings out Clefable and Butterfree

"Use Psychic!" Ash calls the two Pokemon summon the Psychic energy catching Brock, but the wind is getting stronger Misty then brings out her Starmie to help pull Brock back up as well. The three Pokemon are really struggling since the wind is strong but they're able to successfully bring Brock on the cliff safely.

"Thanks guys" Brock says as he gives a few huffs

"You're welcome" Ash and Misty respond giving a few huffs as well they return their Pokemon and continue to walk.


10 minutes have gone by, and the group still haven't seen the Bulbasaur and Oddish from earlier.

"Hey Ash, maybe we should go back it doesn't look like Bulbasaur and Oddish are here" Misty suggested, Ash was going to agree but he takes one step a net pop's out from the ground grabs the three they are now stuck in a tree.

"Hey what's the meaning of this!" Ash yells he then looks down to see the same Bulbasaur from earlier giving him a smug look and laughing at how he and his friends got caught.

"Hey let us down!" Ash says with Bulbasaur still laughing it then turns around and walks away leaving the 3 trainers and Pikachu stuck in the tree.


Almost 5 minutes have passed since Bulbasaur left Ash and his friends have been screaming help for the last 5 minutes, but no one's showed up they're about to give up until they hear a voice.

"Hello, is someone up there!" A voice of a young lady asks, the group looks down they see a girl around Brock's age she has blue hair with a green bow, she gets closer and gasp at the situation they're in.

"Oh no I'll get you down right now" The girl says as she successfully lets the group down from the tree, they tell her thank you the girl then introduces herself.

"I'm Melanie that trap you were in is to capture any criminals that show up here" Melanie says as the group introduces themselves Brock's face glows a bright red.

"It's nice to meet all of you, you all must be exhausted come with me" Melanie states as the group walks with her they pass a few trees and enter what looks like a village that's filled with a lot of Pokemon.

"Whoa are all these Pokemon yours?" Ash asks

"Nope this is called the Hidden village it's a place where injured or scared Pokemon can stay until they feel better" Melanie responds with a smile the group is shocked, but Brock is extremely happy he goes up to Melanie and grabs her hands.

"Not only are you beautiful you're also a great person taking care of sick Pokemon I really want to learn some of your techniques" Brock says with hearts in his eyes, Melanie doesn't notice Brocks advances and allows the group to stay they can bring out their Pokemon as well, but they aren't aloud to catch any Pokemon in the village the group nod and bring out their Pokemon.

Ash brings out Butterfree, Magickarp, Pidgeotto and Clefable, Misty brings out her Starmie, Vaporeon and Seel, Brock brings out his Alolan Geodude, Zubat, and Sandshrew he doesn't bring out Onix since it would be too big and might scare the other Pokemon the groups Pokemon and wild Pokemon interact with each other and have a good time.

The flying types interact with each other as do the ground and water types with Ash's Magickarp happy to see another Magickarp it hasn't seen another one of its species since it left home, Clefable helps Brock and Melanie take care of some of the sick Pokemon that are there, and Pikachu was able to find other Pikachu's to interact with.

Ash and Misty are happy to see the Pokemon enjoy themselves, Misty then notices one Pokemon hiding from everyone and it's the Oddish from earlier Melanie notices Misty looking over at Oddish she walks over to her leaving Brock and Ash's Clefable to care for a very sick Rattata.

"I see your curious about that Oddish" Melanie asks with Misty nodding, as Melanie continues.

"You see that Oddish was recently abandoned by its trainer ever since coming here it's been really terrified of the other Pokemon besides one and it's been slowly warming up to me" Melanie says Misty gets a sad look on her face and begins to walk towards Oddish.

"Odd" Oddish notices Misty approaching gets scared it's about to run away until it notices a calming feeling about Misty the plant Pokemon stays to hear what the red-haired girl has to say Misty bends down to be at eye level with the Pokemon.

"Hello Oddish, I'm sorry I tried to catch you earlier I didn't know your situation before if I've known that you've just been released by your trainer, I wouldn't have tried to catch you can you forgive me?" Misty says with a genuinely sad look on her face Oddish looks at her and sees just how sincere she's being the plant Pokemon smiles it goes to rub Misty's leg showing that it has forgiven her.

"Thank you Oddish all I was thinking about is winning I hope I'm not becoming heartless" Misty says, Ash was about to go make a joke about Misty being heartless but decided to not ruin a nice moment his eyes grow wide when he sees Bulbasaur charging at Misty her he's about to say something but is too late Bulbasaur hits Misty in the back knocking her over Ash and Melanie run over to her.

"Misty are you alright?" Ash asks with Misty nodding he then stares at the very angry Bulbasaur protecting Oddish

"Bulbasaur it's alright these people aren't bad" Melanie says trying to calm down the Bulb Pokemon but it's not listening her it then goes and begins pushing Ash's leg try to force him and his friends to leave. Ash notices this he and Misty look at Melanie as she explains.

"Bulbasaur was only trying to protect Oddish it's the village protector whenever bad people or Pokemon come Bulbasaur is always there to protect us it's a very loyal Pokemon it also doesn't like Pokemon trainers" Melanie says both Ash and Misty understand

"So that's why you attacked me" Misty says

"Whoa so you're the village bodyguard that's so cool I would love to have a Pokemon like you" Ash says with a smile as Bulbasaur looks up at the young boy they then hear an explosion with the Pokemon screaming Ash, Misty, Melanie, Oddish and Bulbasaur quickly head into that direction.

As they get closer, they see Brock and Ash's Clefable, "BROCK what's going on?!" Ash yells Brock and Clefable turn back to Ash and the others heading toward them.

"I'm not sure Clefable and me just got done taking care of the very sick Rattata we heard an explosion and quickly headed outside, the group then see four people walk out from the smoke two men and two woman, there's a woman with long blonde hair and a man with short teal hair next her behind them are another man and woman holding cages containing a Weepinbell and a Pidgey there's also other Pokemon behind them lying unconscious (thankfully none of the groups Pokemon) they're all wearing black and have a red R in the middle of their shirts. The group all gasp in horror at the sight there seeing Ash, Misty and Brock get mad and call out.

"TEAM ROCKET!" All three-yell causing the rocket members to look at them and smile.

"Hey Cassidy look it's the trainers that where on the bridge we broke and followed here" The man with teal hair says

"Your right Hutch they also look angry at us for some reason but I'm not sure why" Cassidy responds in a mocking tone

"It's Butch not Hutch!" Butch says in anger

"You were the ones that were behind that strong wind?! We could've died!" Ash yells in anger with the TR members looking at each other and giving an evil smile making the group even more angry.

"Please release those Pokemon they are very sick and need a lot of rest" Melanie says pleadingly.

"Nah sorry sister but we were ordered by our boss to find this village and capture the Pokemon here whether they are sick or not" Butch replies

"As always you people are horrible!" Misty yells back

"Oh, do you know of our organization? I mean of course you do since it's the top organization in the world" Cassidy says with a smile

"Yeah, back in Mt. Moon we ran into Jessie, James and Meowth they were trying to steal fossils and the Moon stone" Brock responds causing the other rocket members to laugh

"Hahahaha so you're the kids that gave those three idiots trouble they are nothing compared to us" Cassidy says while Butch and the two other rocket members laugh.

Meanwhile hidden very deeply into the bushes we see Jessie, James and Meowth with very angry looks on their faces.

"You know I'm really happy the boss told us not to help our team members especially Cassidy and Ben I hope those kids crush them" Jessie says in anger with James and Meowth nodding their heads in agreement. Butch stops laughing and looks around as he felt as though someone got his name wrong again.

"Anyway, hand us your Pokemon if you don't want things to get ugly" Cassidy says in a sinister tone as she Butch and the other two TR members take there Pokeball's out.

"Sorry Melanie looks like a battle is unavoidable" Ash states as his alongside the rest Misty's and Brock's Pokemon come to them ready to battle Melanie nods and goes to grab the other Pokemon and bring them inside the cabin

"Clefable you go protect Melanie and the other Pokemon we'll try and drive out TR" Ash says as the Pixie Pokemon nods as it goes to help Melanie gather the other Pokemon it wants to battle as well but understands why Ash told it to protect Melanie and the Pokemon. Bulbasuar looks at Ash and is surprised that Ash would do something like that it thought this trainer would use all his Pokemon to battle these intruders maybe it really misunderstood Ash Bulbasuar thinks to itself but ready to battle as soon as the TR members bring out their Pokemon.

Grunt 1 & 2 (that's what I'm calling the other two grunts) both bring out a Golbat, Butch sends out a Grimer and a rhyhorn while Cassidy sends out a Raticate and a Fearow.

"Golbat use Air slash!" Grunts 1 & 2 make the first move as the two-giant bat like Pokemon summon a strong looking Air Slash

"Pidgeotto, Butterfree counter with your Air Slash" Ash commands as Pidgeotto and Butterfree give a loud cry firing their own Air Slash the moves collide creating an explosion

"Grimer use smog!" Butch calls as poisonous gas comes out of Grimer's mouth

"Geodude use Gyro ball and Sandshrew use Rapid spin and blow that smog away!" Brock commands as his Pokemon successfully blow away the gas, Butch makes his next move "Rhyhorn use Take down!" Rhyhorn passes by Geodude and Sandshrew its heading straight for Brock.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash and Misty command as both Magickarp and Vaporeon shoot out the water successfully hitting Rhyhorn knocking it out instantly.

"Hmmm a Magickarp that can use Hydro Pump, the boss will surely love that" Cassidy thinks to herself as she finally makes her move.

"Fearow use Drill peck and Raticate use Hyperbeam!" Fearow quickly sores through the sky it quickly spins its beak as it hits Zubat, Butterfree and Pidgeotto dealing heavy damage especially to Butterfree since the move is super effective Raticate fires its Hyper beam at the group Ash and Misty call their commands as Bulbasaur fires a move as well.

"Use Thunderbolt!" "Seel use Ice Beam!" Ash and Misty call as Pikachu and Starmie shoot the stream of electricity at the hyper beam, Seel fires the beam of ice while Bulbasaur fires a Razor leaf the moves collide and they successfully stopped the beam.

"Golbat use screech!" Grunts 1 & 2 call as the two-giant bat Pokemon give a loud screech greatly decreasing the defense of the groups Pokemon.

"Fearow use Drill Peck again!" Cassidy calls

"Geodude use Thunder punch!" Brock calls, both Pokemon collide they try to push the other back it seems both are even "Zubat use Poison Fang" Brock calls as Zubat quickly goes to help Geodude

"Knock that bat away with Wing Attack!" Cassidy calls as Fearow quickly slaps Brock's Zubat with its wing knocking it out shocking the group Brock then returns Zubat to its Pokeball.

"Now Fearow use Steel Wing!" Cassidy calls as Fearow's wings glow brightly as Fearow goes to slam both wings at Geodude "Geodude dodge!" Brock yells as Geodude manages to quickly dodge the attack and goes next to Sandshrew.

"Man, I wasn't expecting these guys to be good" Brock says with annoyance

"Yeah, they're way stronger than Jessie, James and Meowth" Misty says

"Even though we have the number advantage they are still finding ways to corner us we need to think of something" Ash says while gritting his teeth

"If you kids aren't going to attack then we will Raticate begin charging another Hyper Beam and make it stronger than the last one we're ending this battle" Cassidy says Raticate nods as it begins to charge its strongest Hyper Beam.

"We won't let you Sandshrew use dig and Geodude use Rock Polish to stop that Raticate!" Brock yells as Sandshrew digs underground and Geodude raises its speed it quickly begins to roll very quickly towards Raticate.

"Use Quick Attack!" Ash and Misty yell as Pikachu and Vaporeon quickly dash forward to try and stop Raticate

"Use Whirlwind!" Cassidy and the two grunts yell as they summon a large wind that blows away the groups Pokemon back to them even Sandshrew who was underground the group looks on in horror as Raticate finishes charging up the Hyper Beam

"Now Fire!" Cassidy yells, Raticate fires the beam its heading straight towards the group theirs nothing that they can do Seel, Starmie, Pidgeotto and Butterfree try to go help but are stopped by Grimer, Fearow and the two Golbat's. Cleflable looks on in horror as it wants to go and help but can't it then feels a hand on its shoulder it turns around and sees Melanie "Go you've protect us enough go save your friends" Melanie says as Clefable quickly dashes forward hoping to make it In time

The group and Bulbasaur look on in horror as the beam closes in on them Bulbasaur closes its eyes thinking it's the end it waits for the beam to hit but nothing happens it opens its eyes and sees Magickarp, Sandshrew and Vaporeon doing their best to hold the beam in place while Pikachu and Geodude charge forward and use a Iron Tail and Thunder Punch respectively on Raticate stopping the Hyper Beam and finally knocking out the large rat surprising the TR members and their Pokemon this in turn gives the groups other mons an opening to attack Starmie and Butterfree use a double Psychic on the Golbat knocking them out, Pidgeotto uses Quick Attack and Seel uses Aqua jet on Grimer knocking it out as well Fearow then flies in the air to get away but its then blindsided when a big pink orb crashes into its face knocking the giant bird out of the sky as it lands in front of Cassidy's feet

The group turn around and see Clafable who is done helping Melanie and the other sick Pokemon its now here to help battle Ash and his friends smile while Cassidy glows red in anger.

"HOW COULD OUR POKEMON LOSE?! THEY WHERE MUCH STRONGER THAN YOURS!" Cassidy yells with Butch and the 2 other grunts look angry as well Ash gets up and speaks.

"You may have stronger Pokemon but the bond with our Pokemon is much stronger than yours" Ash says with a determined look Misty and Brock nod while their Pokemon stand next to them and give a loud cheer (Zubat and Onix wriggle in their Pokeballs in agreement). Bulbasaur looks at Ash and the other Pokemon it thinks so this is a bond between a trainer and Pokemon Bulbasaur smiles and joins in the cheer with the other Pokemon as well making Ash happy.

"Even still you can't beat us yet as we still have these two captured" Cassidy smiles while pointing at the 2 grunts holding the caged Pidgey and Weepinbell, Fearow opens its eyes and flies back into the air ready to continue the battle.

"So, what now brats?!" Butch asks with a smirk

"Sandshrew now!" Brock yells as Sandshrew jumps out of the ground behind the two grunts knocking them out and breaking the cages the Pokemon were in setting them free the Pidgey and Weepinbell follow Sandshrew into the hole Cassidy and Butch are flabbergasted "HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING?!" They both scream out while scratching their heads furiously.

"Hey, focus on the battle!" Ash yells Cassidy and Butch turn around in horror that the groups Pokemon are charging their attacks (Bulbasuar as well)

"FIRE!" Ash, Misty and Brock yell as all their Pokemon's moves become one giant beam that engulfs Fearow causing the bird to crash into Cassidy, Butch and the 2 unconscious rocket grunts causing all of them to fly in the air screaming.

"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF US YOU BRATS!" Cassidy and Butch scream as they fly across the land not to be seen.

"ALRIGHT!" Ash, Misty and Brock cheer as do there Pokemon with Bulbasaur joining in as well it also surprisingly jumps into Ash's arms surprising everyone Bulbasaur sees what it's done and gives a blush with everyone smiling Melanie and the other Pokemon run to the group to congratulate them.

The TR trio give a cheer as well but make sure that the group doesn't notice them.


2 hours passed since Cassidy and What's his face attacked the hidden village during this time Brock learned a lot from Melanie on how to care for Pokemon while Ash and Misty were playing with their Pokemon Bulbasaur and Oddish joined in as well they also contacted Officer Jenny the officer announced that they'll be looking more into Team Rocket after that it was time for the group to leave.

"It was great having you here thank you for helping us" Melanie says with a bow

"No problem" Ash says with a smile, Misty smiles at Melanie, Brock is crying as he doesn't want to leave yet. Bulbasaur also looks sad that the group is leaving it as well wants to go with them, but it also wants to stay and protect the village it doesn't know what to do, Melanie notices this she gets an idea and speaks to Ash.

"Ash will you please take Bulbasaur on your journey with you?" Melanie suggests with Ash and Bulbasaur looking at her surprised.

"But I thought you said we're not allowed to catch any Pokemon here?" Ash questioned with Melanie nodding her head.

"Yes, that is true, but I feel it would be best for you to take Bulbasaur along with you it's been a great help in this village, but I don't think it'll be able to live up to its full potential if it stays here and I'm sure Bulbasaur feels the same way" Melanie responds as Ash bends down to ask the small plant dinosaur.

"Do you really want to come with us Bulbasaur?" Ash asks, Bulbasaur smiles nodding in agreement it then gets into a battle-ready stance Ash smile turning his hat backwards with Pikachu jumping off Ash's shoulder and sparking its cheeks ready to battle.

"Alright Bulbasaur let's go Pikachu use Quick Attack!" Ash commands as Pikachu dashes forth at a blinding speed hitting Bulbasaur in the head but Bulbasaur counters with Razor Leaf knocking Pikachu back.

"Use Agility!" Ash commands as Pikachu starts running around Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur then fires out a vine whip successfully grabbing Pikachu, but this is just what Ash wanted.

"Now use Thunderbolt!" Ash yells the electricity flows downward Bulbasaur's vines shocking the Pokemon and knocking it down.

"Go Pokeball!" Ash yells as he throws the ball hitting Bulbasaur its sucked inside the ball shakes 3 times until it dings confirming to Ash that the capture is completed Ash runs to the Pokeball smiles and yells.

"I've caught Bulbasaur!" "Pi Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu yell doing there pose causing everyone to smile.

"Please take good care of Bulbasaur Ash" Melanie says with Ash nodding that he will.

"Will the village be alright without Bulbasaur?" Misty asks Melanie smiles and looks down at Oddish

"Yes, it will after witnessing the battle today it gave the other Pokemon motivation to train and become stronger so that they can protect the village "Odd" Oddish says in confirmation making Misty smile.

With that the group Bulbasaur say their goodbyes to everyone and head off to continue their journey.

Meanwhile with Cassidy and Butch and the 2 grunts who are still unconscious they dial a number and call their boss and unlike with Jessie, James and Meowth Giovanni is facing them and wants to hear their report.

"So, Cassidy and Boop did you succeed or fail?" Giovanni asks sternly Butch was going to correct Giovanni that his name isn't Boop but stops himself.

"No, we failed sir" Cassidy says in disappointment with Giovanni a little bit surprised

"Really now you two mostly succeed in your missions flawlessly how did you fail?" Giovanni asks curiously

"We lost to a boy with his Pikachu and friends sir" Butch says at that Giovanni smiles "so he's getting stronger" Giovanni thinks to himself he looks back at Cassidy and Butch.

"You two did well come back to headquarters immediately there's a certain Project I think you two need to know about" Giovanni says as he turns off the phone making Cassidy and Butch confused, they were expecting to get chewed out by the boss but that didn't happen they shrug pick up their 2 unconscious members and begin to head-to-head quarters.


2 days have passed since the group left the Hidden Village the group is walking on the road with Ash marching in front of Brock and Misty and is singing to himself happy, he now finally has 6 Pokemon. As he continues walking, he steps on something that sucks his foot in he and the rest of the group look until they all fall into a pit trap and land on the ground hard.

"Ah my back Misty get your butt off me" Ash says in annoyance, Misty quickly gets off Ash.

"Ah I landed on my head" Brock says while rubbing his head Pikachu landed on Brocks back

"Ah not another trap" Misty says in an annoyed tone

"It must've been a prank" Brock says

"Who would do this and why?" Ash asks as he soon gets his answer as the group hear what sound like Pokemon laughing they look up and get surprised

"SQURTILE!" The group yell as the Squirtle continue to laugh

"Are you the ones that pulled this prank if so, it's not funny" Ash says as the Squirtle continue to laugh but stop when they hear police sirens the Squirtle then run away leaving the group stuck in the hole the sirens stop as an Officer Jenny comes out and looks down in the hole.

"Are you kids alright?!" Officer Jenny asks the group responds with a yes Jenny then gets a rope from her car safely pulls the gang out of the hole.

"Thank you, Officer Jenny, my dear you really saved I would greatly appreciate it if you'd go on a date with me" Brock says with hearts in his eyes making Jenny uncomfortable Misty then grabs him by the ear and pulls him away.

"I think Jenny would rather want to be saved from you instead" Misty says as she pulls the sad Brock away Ash laughs then asks.

"What's with those Squirtle Officer Jenny?" Ash asks with Brock and Misty appearing behind to listen.

"Well, you see those Squirtle were abandoned by their trainers the decided to form a gang that go around pranking on humans they're called the Squirtle Squad" Jenny says shocking the group.

"People can be so cruel" Misty says in anger with Ash and Brock agreeing

"Well, I better be going now you kids stay safe" Jenny says as she drives away leaving the gang behind to go after the Squirtle's.

The group then continues to walk with sad looks on their faces.

Meanwhile with the Squirtle they've successfully pranked another person by putting graffiti on his house they run away laughing. The leader Squirtle also stole some food they find a clearing and begin to eat. As they are eating the leader notices the same kids from earlier and gets an idea but before that a large Raticate approaches them the large rat has something around its neck that looks like a speaker out if it comes a woman's voice.

The group is sitting in the grass next to the river and Ash is in deep thought.

"Man, I feel sorry for those Squirtle" Ash says in a sad tone with Misty and Brock agreeing

"Yeah, I just don't understand why someone would abandon there Pokemon do they not feel anything for leaving them behind?" Misty asks

"Unfortunately, that's just how some people are Misty" Brock responds with Ash and Misty nodding they then hear something coming from the water the group walks over to see (leaving their bags behind) that it's one of the Squirtle from earlier.

"Hey, you're the Squirtle from earlier we were just thinking about you" Ash says with a smile Squirtle then points to Pikachu

"Are you saying you want to battle?" Ash asks with him and Pikachu getting excited

"Be careful Ash this might be another one of its tricks" Brock warns with Ash nodding

"Even if it is I'll never back away from a battle let's go Pikachu use Quick Attack!" Ash calls as Pikachu dashes forth and hits Squirtle in the stomach knocking the blue turtle in the water. Ash then notices his error Pikachu is now floating above the lake and falls.

"Oh no!" Ash yells "Pikachu get out of the lake!" Ash yells Pikachu is swimming as fast as it can but its not a good swimmer Misty and Brock hear rustling behind them and turn around and get surprised when they see the rest of the Squirtle's stealing their back packs.

"Hey give those back!" Misty and Brock yell as they go to chase after the Squirtle Ash turns around to see what happen and feels dumb that he let Squirtle trick him he then hears Pikachu scream.

Ash turns around to see that Pikachu was poisoned by a Tentacool and is starting to sink Ash without hesitating jumps in the water and begins to swim toward Pikachu Misty and Brock turn around as well and see Ash jumping in the lake, they stop chasing the Squirtle and immediately go to help Ash and Pikachu.

The leader Squirtle now with its gang they quickly celebrate that the plan went well but something doesn't feel right they're happy the plan went off without a hitch, but they didn't want the trainers Pikachu to get poisoned and sink they watch as they see Ash quickly reach Pikachu.

"Don't worry buddy will get you some medicine soon" Ash says while holding Pikachu his eyes grow wide in fear as a big SeaKing is heading towards them.

"It must be mad that we've entered its territory" Ash thinks as the SeaKing gets closer he looks back and sees Brock and Misty still on land Misty is about to bring out her water Pokemon to save Ash and Pikachu but is surprised when Ash throws Pikachu towards them.

"Catch Pikachu!" Ash yells as Brock successfully catches the yellow mouse, he notices its conditioned and gets worried.

"We need to get it some medicine and fast" Brock says with Misty nodding her head they turn to see the Squirtle there holding rope.

Meanwhile, with Ash he's swimming as fast as he can back to where Misty and Brock are, but the SeaKing catches up to Ash and sends him up in air Ash then comes crashing down on land landing on his butt hurting he looks up and sees Misty and Brock tied up in rope with the leader Squirtle standing over him with a smile.

"Hey what do you think you're doing?!" Ash asks, "We meet again brat" A woman speaks Ash turns around as he hears a familiar voice, he sees a Raticate and its wearing a speaker

"CASSIDY!" Ash yells in anger "Who's Cassidy? I'm Raticate" the voice says as Raticate turns its head

"Don't play dumb with me I recognize that voice your Raticate is wearing a speaker if your Raticate can truly talk to humans it wouldn't need it" Ash says the leader Squirtle looks to the Raticate.

"Come on Squirtle who are you going to believe your fellow Pokemon or a human brat?" The voice says with Raticate giving a pleading look in its eyes for Squirtle to believe it. While it's true Squirtle would rather trust another Pokemon than a human, but this human risked its life to save its partner Squirtle thinks hard. Ash looks over and sees that Pikachu is in a cage and is still poisoned and gets a worried look.

"Squirtle please let me go to town to buy medicine for Pikachu" Ash asks with a worried look as Squirtle looks at him.

"Don't believe him Squirtle humans are liars the moment you allow him to go he'll never return" the voice says

"Please Squirtle you can trust me I know I'll come back" Ash asks again Squirtle looks deep into Ash's eyes it doesn't see a hint of Ash being distrustful and he looks genuinely worried for his Pokemon.

"Squirt" Squirtle nods his head in approval allowing Ash to go surprising the other Squirtle and Raticate.

"Thank you Squirtle I'll be back in an hour" Ash says as he quickly runs to town. Brock and Misty look on at Ash leaving hoping he comes back soon.


20 minutes have passed, and Ash is still running as fast as he can during these 20 minutes he's tripped fell down a cliff and was chased by a horde of angry Beedrill but none of that stopped him he kept running he then sees the town finally come into view he smiles and quickly runs to the medicine store he's about to open the door but the door immediately opens hitting Ash in the face he passes out on the left side of the entrance the one that opened the door was Gary he didn't notice that he hit something he continues to walk.

Another 20 minutes pass and Ash finally wakes up remembering what he needs to do he heads straight inside the store once he enters everyone in the store are on edge and the place looks damaged.

"Are you with Team Rocket?" An old man hiding behind a cash register asks

"No, I'm Ash besides would team rocket have children work in their organization?" Ash asks and everyone in the store shake their heads at how foolish they were being.

"I'm sorry son about 10 minutes ago a woman with blonde hair named Cassidy and a man with teal hair named Ben came and tried to destroy all of our medicine" The old man says with Ash getting sad.

"So does this mean you don't have any more healing medicine for poison?" Ash asks with a worried expression the old man smiles.

"Thankfully we still have some it was hidden in a special place that those two couldn't get to" The old man says with Ash smiling the old man gives Ash the medicine.

"Thank you, sir," Ash says as he quickly runs out of the store and quickly runs in the direction his friends are.


18 minutes have passed surprisingly the trip back was a lot smoother Ash reaches the spot where everyone was, but his eyes grow wide in horror they aren't there Ash begins to panic.

"Pikachu! Misty! Brock! WHERE ARE YOU!" Ash yells until he hears a voice

"Ash" a familiar voice rings in Ash's ear he turns around to see Misty, Brock, Squirtle and Pikachu.

"Guys you're okay" Ash says happily

"Of course, we're okay but it's nice to see how worried you were" Misty says with a smile

"Did you get the medicine?" Brock asks Ash smiles and shows that he got it Brock, Misty and even the Squirtle smile. The leader Squirtle commands his gang to untie the humans, Ash hands Brock the medicine as Brock quickly goes and applies it to Pikachu.

After a few moments Pikachu feels a lot better everyone is happy, but the moment is then ruined when the voice on Raticate's speaker speaks.

"That darn old man got us" This time a mans voice comes out of the speaker causing the Squirtle to get suspicious.

"Darn it March the speaker was still on now they know we're lying!" Cassidy's voice shouts

"My name is Butch not March get it right!" Butch yells

"Sign anyway Raticate use Super fang on that brat" Cassidy calls as Raticate quickly jumps in the air and is going to land its teeth on Ash, but it's stopped when the leader Squirtle uses Water Gun on Raticate knocking it back making Ash smile.

"You Squirtle dare get in our way!" Cassidy yells from the speaker

"Squirt!" The leader Squirtle yells as its other members agree

"Fine then have it your way Fearow use Hyper Beam!" Cassidy calls, Raticate runs away as Fearow appears and starts to fire Hyper Beams in the area causing a fire to start. Cassidy and Butch also make themselves known as they are in a hot air balloon with the face of a Raticate on it.

"Let's get out of here!" Brock yells as he Ash (holding Pikachu), Misty and the Squirtle run away inside a cave but the leader Squirtle trips falling on its back, Ash notices he hands Pikachu to Misty and quickly heads out to save Squirtle.

"Ash!" "Pika PI!" Misty, Brock and Pikachu yell

"Hang on Squirtle I'm on my way!" Ash yells as he's dodging the fire and Fearow's Hyper Beams Squirtle's eye's glow wide as he sees Ash running towards him.

Ash finally makes it to where Squirtle is he's about to pick the blue turtle up but notices a Hyper Beam coming straight at him Ash screams and closes his eyes preparing himself, but Squirtle won't allow this to happen.

"SQUIRT!" Squirtle screams as it jumps from the ground pushing Ash out of the way, Squirtle then picks Ash up and starts running towards the cave where everyone else is it dodges every Hyper Beam and safely jumps into the cave Squirtle, and Ash fall on the ground give a few huffs and look at each other.

"Thank you Squirtle I went to save you, but you ended up saving me" Ash says with a smile with Squirtle smiling as well.

"Sorry to ruin the happy moment but there's a huge fire outside" Misty says as Ash and Squirtle get up and look outside Ash then looks at Squirtle.

"Squirtle, will you help us in taking down Team Rocket and stopping this fire?!" Ash asks with Squirtle nodding in agreement Ash smiles he looks at everyone else they are ready as well everyone runs out of the cave with Ash, Misty and Brock sending out their Pokemon to stop the fire.

"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash and Misty yell as Vaporeon and Magickarp clear most of the fire "Way to go" Ash and Misty say with Magickarp and Vaporeon looking back happily.

"Onix, Geodude, and Sandshrew use Sandstorm" Brock commands as his ground types summon a sandstorm that begins to clear the fire as well. At this time Officer Jenny appears and sees the kids from earlier putting out the fire she's even more surprised that the Squirtle Squad are helping as well.

"Uh! Those darn kids Fearow use Hyper Beam on that brat with the Pikachu!" Cassidy yells as Fearow fires the beam at Ash but it's stopped thanks to Pikachu using Thunderbolt while riding on Pidgeotto (Butterfree and Zubat are with them as well).

"Fearow use Drill Peck!" Cassidy yells

"Butterfree dodge and use Sleep Powder!" Ash commands Buttterfree along with Pidgeotto and Zubat dodge and Butterfree successfully puts Fearow to sleep the big bird then falls on the ground landing on Cassidy's Raticate.

"Wake up you dumb bird!" Cassidy yells

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash commands as Pikachu fires the bolt of lightning destroying Cassidy and Butch's balloon as they fall on the sleeping Fearow and unconscious Raticate.

"Ow" they both say as they groan in pain, they then see Officer Jenny and a few more Police Officers standing above them.

"Cassidy and James of Team Rocket you're under arrest" Jenny says as she hands cuffs both of them and puts them in a police car

"My names Butch not James don't ever call me that loser's name again!" Butch yells in anger

"Oh, Shut up Butch!" Cassidy says Butch is about say something but smiles that Cassidy got his name right they get in the police car and are on their way to prison.

Once that happens it's a lot easier for the gang and the Squirtle Squad to extinguish the fire, the fire is now gone, and everyone gives a loud cheer they were able to defeat Cassidy and Butch and stop the fire.

20 minutes have passed Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad (wearing jackets) are on a stage in the middle of town.

"I would like to announce our new firefighting unit the Squirtle Squad" Jenny says with everyone cheering and clapping their hands Ash, Misty and Brock are there as well and are happy for the Squirtle. The party is great there's food, dancing, pretty girls (Brock is mostly excited about that Misty just lets Brock have fun) Ash and leader Squirtle begin to talk.

"You know Squirtle I'm hoping you and the rest of your squad do well as firefighters" Ash says with a smile Squirtle smiles back but thinks does it really want this it would rather go and travel with Ash and friends but how will is squad feel? Squirtle thinks to himself.

It's now nighttime the party is over everyone is sleeping except for the Squirtle Squad they are up talking about how great it is that they don't have to continue pulling pranks or struggle to get by anymore.

The leader nods its head in agreement it then gets a serious/sad look with the other members doing the same they know there leader well and can feel something is troubling it. The leader begins to speak that it doesn't want to be a firefighter it wants to travel with Ash his friends and to one day become a powerful Blastoise the leader says as it looks at its comrades expecting them to be mad at it instead, they all smile.

They knew the moment that trainer save their leader that it would want to go with him they all approve of their leader's decision making the leader Squirtle happy they all hug each other before going to bed.


It's now the next morning Officer Jenny and the Squirtle squad are at the exit to the gate to say their goodbyes to Ash and his friends.

"Thank you for saving this town children" Jenny says as she and the Squirtle Squad salute them.

"You're welcome!" Ash responded with a smile with Misty and Brock smiling as well.

"Well, it's been fun take care" Ash says he goes to turn to walk out of the town, but something grabs his leg he looks down and sees that it's the leader of the Squirtle Squad.

"Ash, will you take Squirtle with you on your journey" Jenny asks with Ash surprised

"Are you sure but what about your friends?" Ash asks

"Last night Squirtle already said its goodbyes with the rest of the Squad" Jenny responds the other Squirtle's nodding in agreement Ash then looks at the leader Squirtle.

"Just so you know my dream is to be a Pokemon master it's going to be a long and hard journey facing many powerful Pokemon and trainers do you still want to come with me?" Ash asks with a serious look

"Squirt" Squirtle responds back with a determined look on its face telling Ash its ready Ash smiles.

"Alright! Let's do our best together Squirtle go Pokeball!" Ash taps the Pokeball on Squirtle's head it shakes one time until it dings confirming Ash's capture.

"I caught a Squirtle!" "Pi Pikachu" Ash says while doing his pose he then stops once Squirtle's Pokeball disappears from his hand

"Hey what happened to Squirtle's Pokeball?" Ash asks with a worried look on his face

"It's okay Ash you have six Pokemon now when you capture 7 or more, they transfer back to whoever you got your Pokedex from" Brock says with Ash giving a sign of relief

"Thanks Brock I forgot about that can you guys wait a few seconds I need to make a transfer?" Ash asks with Brock and Misty nodding Ash smiles as he and Pikachu run to the medicine store it's the only place that has a transfer system thankfully it wasn't destroyed Ash dials the number the phone rings a few times until someone answers it's not Oak but instead it's his granddaughter Daisy.

"Hello this is Daisy Oak Granddaughter to Professor Oak who am I speaking" Daisy was about to finish but gets a smile on her face when she sees Ash.

"Ash how have you've been?! I haven't spoken to you since you left on your journey" Daisy says in a happy voice.

"Hi Ms. Daisy, I've been doing great so far I have 2 badges and currently on my way to get my third one also where's Professor Oak?" Ash says with a smile

"Whoa that's amazing Ash so I'm guessing the reason why you've called is because you want to make a transfer with your Squirtle who just recently got here (She show's Ash Squirtle's Pokeball) as for my grandpa he's currently with your mom and Leaf's mom buying groceries" Daisy says

"Yes, I would like to make a transfer, but I don't know who to send" Ash says as he thinks on which Pokemon to send over

"Hmmm how about your Butterfree both Leaf and Gary each have a Butterfree here I would love to see how different it is from those two" Daisy suggest Ash gives it some thought but ultimately agrees he grabs Butterfree's Pokeball.

"See you later Butterfree I hope you get along with Leaf and Gary's Butterfree" Ash says with Butterfree's Pokeball wriggling understanding Ash's decision it'll also train hard as well. Both Ash and Daisy put the Pokeball's on the transfer the balls glow and disappear before reappearing again Daisy grabs the Pokeball throws it and out comes Ash's Butterfree Ash does the same and brings out Squirtle the blue turtle is happy and immediately jumps into Ash's arms hugging him with Ash doing the same.

"As you can see Ash, I have Butterfree here the transfer was a success" Daisy says as Butterfree looks at the computer waving at Ash, Pikachu and Squirtle.

"Thank you, Daisy Squirtle is here too safe, and sound" Ash says with a smile

"Oh, Ash before we end the call is there anything you want me to tell your mother?" Daisy asks

"Yeah, tell her I'm doing great" Ash says raising his fist in the air with Pikachu and Squirtle doing the same Daisy let's out a small chuckle.

"You remind me of your father when you do that my dad would tell me stories of Mr. Ketchum raising his fist in the air to let his friends and family know that he's okay" Daisy says

"Yeah, my mom would tell me that too and when I was younger, I would sometimes see my dad do it whenever he called us on the phone" Ash says with a smile

"Alright Ash if you see Leaf or Gary again tell them I said hi, I'll tell your mom your doing great and I hope your journey continues to be fun" Daisy says with a smile

"I will and thank you Ms. Daisy" Ash says with a smile as both he and Daisy end the call "Now let's go meet up with Misty and Brock and say goodbye to your friends" Ash says looking at Squirtle the blue turtle nods as they make it to the exit where everyone was still waiting for them, they say their goodbyes as the gang heads out for their next adventure.

Meanwhile, in prison Cassidy and Butch are in different cells beside each other.

"So how long until you think until the boss gets us out of here?" Butch asks

"I'm not sure we failed again after we learned the plan and immediately tried to steal those kids Pokemon" Cassidy says with Butch agreeing they then see a guard come walk to them opening their cells.

"What's going on here we've only been in prison for a day?" Butch asks the guard

"Shut up you've made bail" The guard says as Cassidy and Butch look at each other in confusion they follow the guard outside and glow red in anger when they see the people, they really didn't want to see its Jessie, James and Meowth dressed in stupid Mom and dad disguises.

"Oh, Cassidy dear I'm so happy to see you" Jessie says in a motherly tone giving Cassidy a hug making Cassidy angry

"Ben my boy it's been too long I will not let a member of our family stay in the slammer" James says in a fatherly tone placing a hand on Butch's shoulder "Its Butch" Butch whispers in anger.

"Hey, it's time to go" Meowth says dressed as the driver the four adults get into the car and drive off

"What a weird family" The guard says while scratching his head

"You fools can take the disguises off now we're far gone from the police station these windows are also tinted so no one can see inside anyway" Cassidy says in annoyance Jesse. James and Meowth wanted to wear the costumes longer but agree they take them off and reveal themselves

"I can't believe that guard couldn't recognize you idiots with such obvious disguises" Butch says, "Also were you able to get our Pokemon back?" Butch asks as James hands Cassidy and Butch their Pokeballs

"So did the boss order you to bail us out since I doubt you three have the money to do so" Cassidy asks in a mocking tone Jessie answers

"Well since you so badly want to know yes, the boss wanted to bail you out after you got defeated by that kid and his friends so easily" Jessie responds in a mocking tone as well with Cassidy getting angry the two women begin to stare at each other.

"Now, now before you two fight the other reason is that the boss wants as many Rocket members as possible for the SS. Anne, Celadon City and Saffron City missions" James says with Cassidy and Butch nodding in understanding

"So, what are you three going to be doing then?" Butch asks

"Hmph, wouldn't you like to know the boss gave us a secret mission that I doubt you three know" jessie says while flipping her hair unbeknownst to the trio they do know the trios mission Giovanni told them after what happened in the Hidden Village this confirms to Cassidy and Butch that the boss is still keeping them in the dark which they're both happy about.

"So, we're on our way to headquarters then?" Cassidy asks

"Yes, so you two can learn about the SS. Anne, Celadon City and Saffron City missions we'll just drop you off and go back to our current mission the boss told us that we don't need to know since we're elites" James responds confidently (he lied when he says that the boss called them elites)

"So how long until we get to the base?" Butch asks

"No need to ask since we're already here" Meowth responds as a big building with a giant R in the middle come into view Meowth drives to the entrance dropping off Cassidy and Butch they walk out of the car and enter the building the trio then drive off to go continue keeping tabs on the twerps.

Cassidy and Butch take the elevator to the top floor they enter a large room they see 4 people with authority being the executives a scientist with a brown mustache and brown hair, Matori and standing next to her is Giovanni he turns around and smiles when he sees Cassidy and Butch.

"Tell me what you learned from your encounter with Ash Ketchum?" Giovanni asks

"He may be a beginner but after beating us two times me and Butch here consider him a threat to our organization" Cassidy says also getting Butch's name right making Butch happy

"I see I do agree as he gets stronger just like his father, he'll give our organization trouble" Giovanni responds

"Then shouldn't we crush him now sir since he's weak right now?" A man with green hair asks

"If it were that simple Proton I would've done it already, besides if we do that his father and his friends will surely come and defeat us" Giovanni responds making Proton nod as Giovanni continues

"Besides while Ash gets stronger, we'll train and get stronger as well that's why I'm having those 3 idiots gather as much information on Ash and his friends as they can so whenever he does end up battling me or any of you, we'll be ready to not only crush him but also his father" Giovanni says with everyone else in the room agreeing Matori then speaks

"Now then let's go over the mission for the SS. Anne operation again Archer, Petrel as well as some other rocket grunts will enter the tournament to possibly win the prize, scout which Pokemon we should steal and if Ash Ketchum or any of his friends enter your mission is to crush them not holding anything back (Archer and Petral smile at this). Cassidy and Jon will hand out tickets to strong trainers In the Vermillion city area to have them enter" Matori says Butch is a little annoyed she got his name wrong but keeps it to himself as Matori continues

"Arianna you are going to be stationed in Celadon City and run our base their while managing a team to take over the Ghost tower in Lavender town well need to catch as many ghosts' type Pokemon as we can if Mewtwo goes against us" Matori finishes with Arianna nodding.

"Professor Nanba will still continue on Project Mewtwo as planned" Matori announces with the scientist nodding

"Meanwhile boss Giovanni, me, my Matori Matrix and Proton will take over Saffron City's Silph Co and continue the research on the Master ball. That's the report does anyone have any questions?" Matori says and asks, and Butch raises his hand Matori looks and nods for him to ask.

"How do you plan to deal with Sabrina in Saffron city sir? she always has that city under surveillance" Butch asks with Giovanni answering

"Ah that's a great question Bill you see Professor Nanba has figured out a way to make ourselves invisible to Sabrina's Psychic energy, so she won't notice us taking over the company" Giovanni responds as he turns to Nanba to answer

"Yes, even though Mewtwo has just awakened this will be a great test for its Psychic powers we'll use its Psychic powers to make us invisible making us like any other citizen in Saffron City she won't notice us since she'll think of us as regular citizens" Professor Nanba responds with Butch nodding his head in understanding.

"Oh, before you all leave to begin your mission Proton how's that boy doing?" Giovanni asks with Proton giving an evil smile.

"Well, he hasn't reached his breaking point yet, but I feel he's getting close" Proton says while smiling and Giovanni nodding

Somewhere on route 24 we hear the sounds of a battle we zoom in a see Damian and his very tired Charmander going against Paul and his not so tired Turtwig

"Come on Charmander try using Flamethrower!" Damian calls as Charmander tries to fire the move but coughs as it hasn't mastered it yet

"Talk about pathetic Turtwig finish this battle with a Razor Leaf" Paul command as Turtwig shoots the sharp leaf's hitting Charmander and knocking it out Damian falls on his knees as he can't believe he lost "Why? I was so close Why?" Damian thinks to himself as Paul walks over to him.

"I'll admit you almost beat me if you used another fire type instead you might've won later" Paul says as he returns Turtwig to its Pokeball and walks away leaving Damian in despair as he plays Paul's words to him in his head

"If only I had another fire type or a stronger Charmander I would've won" Damian thinks to himself as Charmander gets up and walks over to Damian disappointed that it lost Damian pats the fire lizard on the head and giving it a fake reassuring smile Charmander doesn't notice this as Damian gets an idea as he spots a rock nearby"

"Hey Charmander, there's something I want you to do for me" Damian says with an evil look on his face with Charmander noticing but doesn't think much about it and will listen to its trainer.


It's been 1 week since Ash caught Squirtle and sent Cassidy and Butch in prison the group are still on their way to Vermillion City and are currently lost.

"AHHHHHH, it feels like we've been in this forest for 10 days I want to reach Vermillion City already!" Misty yells in frustration

"Um Misty it looks like there's a bug on your leg" Brock says causing Misty to scream and jump on Ash

"Hahahaha I'm just kidding" Brock says while laughing as Misty Kicks Brock in the face causing Brock to let go of the map as Ash catches it.

"Hey, look Misty once we pass route 24 will finally make it to Vermillion City" Ash says with Misty getting excited

"Alright then let's go!" Misty picks up her backpack and runs forward but then stops when she see's something on a rock"

"Hey guys look" Misty says as Ash and Brock walk over, they get a surprised look on their faces when they see a small fire lizard on a rock.

"IT'S A CHARMANDER!" The group says as Charmander looks at them.
