Chapter 8: Path to Home and the Start of a New Frontier Part 2


After a lot of walking, Ash and Dante arrived in Viridian City. They headed for the nearest Pokémon Center which was the big one that Ash visited when he first started out.

They gave their Pokémon to Nurse Joy and she took them to be treated as Ash and Dante went to the phone and called Professor Oak.

"Hey Professor Oak!" said Ash.

"Oh Ash how are you boy?" asked the Professor.

"Doing good we just arrived in Viridian City," said Ash.

"You're in Viridian City already?" said the Professor.

"Yeah we're just resting up before heading back to Pallet Town," said Ash.

"That's good by the way I received an Ultra Ball with a Poliwhirl in it and the computer said it was from you." asked Oak.

"Yes the Poliwhirl is mine thanks to Dante helping me out when it was a Poliwag," said Ash.

"How's it getting along with the other Pokémon?" asked Ash.

"Very well. It even helps your Bulbasaur keep the peace," replied Oak.

"That's great!" said Ash. "We'll be there in a few hours take care." He waved the Professor goodbye and hung up.

Just then, Nurse Joy came out with their Pokémon.

They collected them and were about to leave when Nurse Joy ran up to them and kissed them on the cheek.

"Hope to see you again," she said with a smile as she went back to work.

Ash and Dante placed their hands on their cheeks that Nurse Joy kissed and they blushed.

"Wow," The two said and walked out of the center.


As they continued to walk, they found themselves in front of the gym which was rebuilt after it had collapsed last time.

"Wow they rebuilt it!" said Ash.

"It looks great," said Dante.

"You two must be Pokémon trainers..." said a voice.

Coming up to them was a red sports car and coming out was a portly man with brown curly hair, wearing dark blue sunglasses, wearing a Hawaiian blue shirt, white shorts, white shoes and a red PokéNav around his wrist.

The two teens nodded in response to the unknown man.

"So you must be here for a badge right?" asked the older male.

"No I already got this badge," said Ash.

"Yeah maybe later but not right now." Added Dante.

"So you two must be really good," said the man.

"I'd say we are but who are you?" asked Dante.

"The name's Scott." The man introduced himself.

"I'm Ash and this is Dante," Ash introduced.

"You two must be amazing trainers, maybe you two would be good enough for the Battle Frontier..." said Scott.

"What's the Battle Frontier?" asked Ash.

But before Scott could answer, there was a sound of a scream and a crash coming from behind them.

There was an elderly woman with a bike who crashed into a wall with some groceries.

All three went over to see what happened.

"Hey are you alright?" said Ash as he offer his hand to help.

"I'm fine, thanks for the help young man. I took that turn too fast and got knocked off and I'm glad I didn't land on the tomatoes," she said.

"Let me take that," said Ash getting some of the bags.

"I'll carry this inside." said Scott picking up the bike.

"Well thank you just put it anywhere inside the gym," she said.

"Here? You mean you work for the Viridian gym?" asked Ash.

"Yes I've been here for several months already as the new gym leader," she replied making Ash and Dante shocked.

"I'm Agatha young men nice to meet you." She introduced herself.

The four went into the gym and put the food and bike up and then headed for the arena and when they got there it was different.

"This looks different than the last time I was here," said Ash.

"It's amazing what a new coat of paint will do," stated Agatha.

"Yeah." Agreed Ash.

"So Scott what have you been up to? Found any potential trainers at Seafoam islands?" asked Agatha.

"I would tell you but that's classified," said Scott.

"Oh you and your top secret shenanigans." Laughed Agatha.

"So Ash, Dante have you two come for a gym battle?" She asked them.

"No I already got this gym's badge." said Ash.

"I'll pass maybe next time." Added Dante.

"Then forget about badges. Why not battle Agatha for fun?" said Scott.

"Really we can battle?" Ash said excitedly.

"Well I could use a challenge," said Agatha. "I had two challengers yesterday and had beaten both without batting an eye, I'm not saying I'm all that but I definitely could battle someone who can give me a run for my money."

"Well I made it to the finals of the Evergrande Conference in the Hoenn League," said Ash.

"And I was the other finalist," Dante commented.

This got both Agatha and Scott impressed.

"So Ash and Dante can I fancy you two a battle?" said Agatha.

"I'm up for it. And you, Dante?" said Ash.

"Sure gives me a chance to strengthen my skills," said Dante. "How about a 2 on 1?"

"I like that, say Scott care to help and be the judge?" said Agatha.

"Sure thing." He answered.

Soon everyone took their places at the battlefield.

"This battle will begin with one Pokémon each," said Scott.

"Alright then Pikachu go!" said Ash.

"Pikachu!" said Pikachu as he leaped onto the field.

"A Pikachu how interesting, that means I'll use Gengar go!" said Agatha throwing her Pokéball and out came the shadow Pokémon.

"Gengar!" it said.

"Oh wow a Gengar," said Ash in awe, getting out his Pokédex and scanning it.

'Gengar, the Shadow Pokémon. The evolved form of Haunter. Gengar hides in the shadows. If a Gengar is nearby, it is said to feel ten degrees colder than normal. It is happy when it scares people, smiling wickedly in the dark.'

"A Gengar huh. It's been a while since I faced one and now to battle it again will be quite a challenge," said Dante picking up his Pokéball.

"Houndoom! I choose you!" said Dante.

Out came the dark Pokémon with its long curved horns and tough menacing aura oozing out of him.

Ash then scanned Houndoom.

'Houndoom, the Dark Pokémon. The evolved form of Houndour. Houndoom's eerie howl is said to cause those who hear it to shudder in fear. Long ago, people imagined its eerie howls to be the call of the grim reaper.'

"Wow your Houndoom looks really strong Dante," said Ash.

"Thanks I've got three of them." Said Dante.

Houndoom stared dangerously at Gengar as he took position and so did Pikachu.

'After returning to Kanto, Ash and Dante met a man named Scott who talked about the Battle Frontier and then they were challenged to a battle with Agatha, the Viridian City Gym Leader who was really a member of the Kanto Elite will happen next? Find out as the journey continues!'
