When Ash and Delia got back to Pallet town, they were an emergency. A crime has been committed. Someone have stolen on of Professor's Oak starter Pokemon. Ash went to the lab to find out which Pokemon was taken. The pokemon was a Eevee. Professor Oak explains "We need to find out who stolen the Bulbasaur and fast!" Don't worry Professor" Ash replies "me and Pikachu is one it with our new friend Bluey!" As Ash and Pikachu rush out the door, Gary ask "Who's Bluey?" Ash bring out Bluey's poke-ball and throws it in the air. "Bluey, sniff out that trail!" Bluey comes and sniff out the thief location. Meanwhile the thief is running from Pallet Town. But then was stop by Bluey. The Thief looks at Bluey and thought "A blue vulpix?" Then Ash and Pikachu came out from a bush! "Stop right there!" Ash shouted blocking the thief's tracks. The thief raises the poke ball in the air and said "Guess I have no choice." The thief throws her poke-ball in the air and summons Eevee. Ash looks at Bluey and ask "Are you ready Bluey?" Bluey growled "Yes, I am!" "Okay" The thief says "Eevee use poison sting!" Eevee was confused, as in she doesn't know what Poison sting is yet! Ash explains "The thing is Eeve can't do poison sting." The thief was shock, and replies "Uh, okay. Then Eevee use tackle." Bulbasaur charges at Bluey but Ash commands Bluey to dodge out of the way. The attack missed and Bluey came behind Eevee. Ash shouted "Bluey, flamethrower go!" Bluey uses flamethrower and burn Bulbasaur to a crisp. Eevee has fainted, and Ash won the battle. Ash takes the thief back to Professor Oak's lab.

Meeting Fiona

After Ash returns the Bulbasaur to Professor Oak. The Thief was taken to Ash's house where Officer Jenny is waiting to ask her questions. Jenny questioned "Who are you and why do you take a pokemon from the professor?" The thief signs and interduce her self. "My name is Fiona. The reason why I take Bulbasaur is that I needed a pokemon." A flashback of Fiona's past plays out. "I lived on the Sevii islands. A group of islands next to the Kanto region. I live in the orphanage on four Island. I live with a happy life with the other humans and pokemon. That is until Team Rocket Came. Ash, Delia and Jenny was shocked. "Team Rocket?!" Fiona recalls the time she first meet Team Rocket. "They came and concerned the islands, and teach me and my fellow orphans their twisted ways. For years I watch them experiment on innocent Pokemon. Their admin Archer abused me and my orphan friends." A flashback shows Fiona making an escape. "I decided I have enough. I'm never become one of team rocket's members! So, I hid in a crate and escape their clutches. That's when I arrive in Pallet Town, and find out about the starters of this region. I decided If I'm gonna stay free I need a pokemon of my own." Ash and the rest feel bad. Bluey came out from her poke-ball on her own. She feels Fiona's pain about being an orphan and having your happy life being taken away. She snuggles with Fiona's ankle. Ash smiles at Bluey making friends with another human. Ash walks up and says "I'm Ash Ketchum. I know who being a Pokemon trainer for the first time is. Let's say we go to Professor Oak's lab and make up for the time you did something wrong and make you a pokemon trailer?" Fiona took a look at Ash and agrees to his offer. Later that night Ash and Fiona went to sleep think about the adventures of their future. Meanwhile in Bluey's poke ball, Bluey was thinking about Fiona, and what her story means to her. She wonders if her mother is watching her from above.

Fiona's first capture.

The next day Ash takes Fiona back to Professor Oak's lab, and explain everything to the professor. Oak was that Fiona's needs a Pokemon and on the run from Team Rocket. He looks at Fiona and says "If you wanted a pokemon all you have do is ask." Fiona was embarrass. Then Professor Oak gives Bulbasaur to Fiona. Fiona was happy to see Eevee again. But Eeeve bites her for being a terrible trainer. Ash looks at her and says "I know how that feels." Professor Oak says "Oh here are your pokedex and poke-balls." Bluey watches Fiona was hyped to have a pokemon of her own. Fiona says "Thank you professor. I'll promise I'll be a great trainer like Ash." Bluey cheers then Ash rubs her head to calm her down. Fiona looks at Ash and ask him a question. "Say Ash, want to teach me how to catch a pokemon?" Ash agrees and head to Viridian forest where he first catch a pokemon, caterpie. Ash explains "This is where I've caught a pokemon first." Fiona replies "Who was your first pokemon." Ash recalls "Caterpie. I caught it all by myself. It evolved into a metapod and then into a Butterfree. Then I release it and now it gone." Fiona looks at Ash and frowns but then hear a loud crunch. It was a Oddish. Fiona took a poke-ball and hold it underhand. Ash says "Look at the Pokemon, and forces then throw the ball at it." Fiona listen to Ash and throw his Poke-ball that the oddish. The poke-ball hit it on the head and then open and the oddish is caught in a light of red and goes inside of the poke-ball. The ball tils left and right until clicked. Fiona picks up the ball and raises in the air. "I've caught an Oddish!" Ash puts his hand on Fiona's shoulder and congrates on her. "Ash" Fiona said "Thank you." Fiona hugs Ash and looks at her Poke-ball with Oddish inside. But then Eevee came out of it's poke-ball all grumpy. Fiona ask "Eevee why aren't you in your poke-ball?" Ash thinks about what his old poke-dex Dexter says "Some pokemon don't like to be in their poke-ball." Ash then says "Maybe Eevee doesn't like to be it's poke-ball. I think it will be happier living outside of it." Fiona looks at Eevee staring at her. "I don't know." Fiona replies "Pretty sure it's mad at me for being a terrible trainer back there." Ash then have idea and takes out Bluey's poke-ball. Ash shouts "Bluey come on out!" Bluey came out of her poke-ball in a ray of light. Ash ask "Bluey, can you talk to Fiona's Eevee with Pikachu?" Bluey agrees and walk next to Eevee with Pikachu. "Hey" Bluey asked "My name is Bluey and this is Pikachu." Eevee stares at Pikachu and Bluey. She replies "What are you doing taking orders from those trainers?" Bluey was surprise. "Hey that what I thought when I first meet Ash's pokemon." Pikachu walks up and replies "Look I was Ash's first Pokemon too. I use to not trust him but then when he protects me against those Spearows, I protected him." Eevee then think about what Pikachu says. Maybe she can give her partner a chance. For now Eevee must think about this. Meanwhile two strangers are watching the g

Bluey whispers to Pikachu "Are those guys part of team rocket too?" Pikachu whispers back "Yes, and they are always after me. Plus their Meowth can communicate with humans and walk like one too." Meowth points at Bluey and shouts "Blue vulpix ahoy!" Ash shouts "Bluey is my pokemon!" Jessie, James and Meowth look at each other in confusion. "Well then" Jessie replies "Pikachu and 'Bluey' are coming with us! And we came prepare this time Twerp! We got ground types this time!" Ash knew that Pikachu's electrical attacks won't work and calls up on another pokemon. "Well" Ash says "I've got a friend for Meowth!" Ash throws his poke-ball and Galarian Meowth came out. Meowth was shocked. "He got a regional meowth!" Meowth jumps down from the balloon and charges at Galarain Meowth with fury swipes. Ash commands "Meowth use metal claw!" Ash's Meowth use metal claw and cut through Meowth. Jessie shouts "Wooper use mud shot!" James cries out "And Sandshrew use focus punch!" Wooper shoot mud at Pikachu and Sandshrew aim it's focus punch on Bluey. Pikachu pushes Bluey out the way before being hit by mud shot and Sandshrew. The mud shot was super effective on Pikachu. James cried out "Sandshrew use Dig!" Sandshrew burrow it's way underground and strikes at Pikachu. Pikachu faints, and Ash and the others were shocked. "That's one down." Jessie said. "One more to go." James replies. Sandshrew and Wooper looks at Bluey. She was terrified. She knew her fire attacks won't have effect on these ground types. Ash commands his Meowth use trailblaze.
