Chapter 11: A Recharge at Home and a Birthday Bash Part 2
Morning came to Pallet Town as the sun rose up above the horizon, over Ash's house. Dante was the first up as the sun's rays shone on them, he got up and let out a big yawn, as he jumped down and checked on Houndoom who was sleeping by the door.
"Good job old friend, now get a good long sleep," Dante said as returned its to its Pokéball.
"Well then time to go hit the showers," he said as he went inside and headed to the bathroom.
In Ash's room, Misty woke up from her sleep and looked at Ash sleeping beside her.
Misty let a small smile appear on her face. "He's cute when he's sleeping," she said.
Then she noticed something, she moved the covers back and saw that Ash was a bit ripped.
"Ash have you been working out?" she whispered.
She placed her hand on his chest and felt some muscles on him, making her blush.
But her curiosity got the better of her as she got on top of Ash and saw that he has indeed been working out and her blushing turned more red, she lowered herself to his face and she felt her heart beating a little faster.
She was beginning to see Ash in a different light and felt something was coming up to the surface.
She inched closer to his face and she was about to kiss him when she heard the door knob turning, she snapped out of her trance and immediately got off of him and ran to the wall by the door just as it was opening up.
It was Mr. Mime who came in to wake up Ash, so Misty used the timing to quietly sneak pass it and leave the room, running back to her room and closing the door.
"Oh my god, I've never felt this feeling before.." she said feeling flustered as she tried to calm herself.
"Am I falling in love with Ash?" she whispered.
She turned fully red as she remember trying to kiss Ash and that stir the pot of feelings inside her heart.
"I need a shower." She thought.
Misty went to use the shower after Dante was done with it 20 minutes ago, as the hot water poured down on her she tried to dispel her growing feelings of Ash but they keep coming back.
"Why are these feelings coming up now, I like Ash as a friend there's no way I like him like those couples I see on TV do I?" she said to herself.
After she finished, Ash had his turn and Misty got dressed and headed down to the kitchen where Delia was making breakfast and Dante was in a chair sipping coffee.
"Morning.." Dante said a little groggily.
"Are you alright?" asked Misty.
"Yeah just had a rough time sleeping," he replied taking another sip.
Just then Ash came in and looked like crap with a tired look on his face and so did Pikachu.
Ash went to a chair, sitting in it and picking up Pikachu who was too tired to jump.
"Ash dear you okay?" asked Delia concerned.
Ash slowly nodded.
"Well then I made your favorite breakfast!" she said placing down a big meal for everyone to enjoy.
The smell of food went into their noses and that woke them up and they suddenly became hungry.
"FOOD!" shouted Ash as he and Pikachu dug in and ate like crazy.
Delia smiled at them and she and Misty were surprised that Dante ate like them as well.
"Whoa never thought that Dante would eat like Ash," said Misty.
Delia smiled at the two chowing down like machines.
After 20 minutes passed they were done.
After they picked up and cleaned their plates, Ash and Dante went outside and walked to the road and they soon got into running positions.
"Okay Ash first one to Oak's lab wins," Dante said.
"You're on! Hold on Pikachu," said Ash as his partner held on tight.
"3, 2, 1…" said Dante!
"GO!" said Ash
Both of them took off like stampeding bulls heading for the lab and Misty who was done eating ran after them.
"Man they run fast," she said speeding after them.
Back in the house, Delia was washing dishes and Mimey was sweeping the floors when someone rang the doorbell, Mimey opened the door and it was May, Max and Professor Birch standing there and Delia greeted them.
After they talked, they headed for Oak's laboratory.
At the lab, Dante arrived first and Ash came second and Misty came along after catching her breath.
After they went inside, Misty went to help Tracey with the starters and Ash and Dante went to talk with the professors.
After a bit of shenanigans with Squirtle who jumped into May's arms as she was coming up-stairs with Delia and Ash and the others coming in, everyone went to the lobby as Ash told them about the Battle Frontier.
Ash and Dante explained that it is a frontier that's made up of 7 facilities and it's spread out in the Kanto region and it's headed by a Frontier Brain, they're like Gym Leaders but stronger and every time they defeat them they get a frontier symbol, Dante explained they'll be given the location of 6 of them and only by defeating all 6 will the last facility will be revealed.
"That sounds like it would be a great adventure," said May.
"It will be, right Pikachu?" said Ash.
"Pikachu!" said his buddy.
Delia was a little taken aback that Ash was already planning his next journey but wasn't too surprised.
"Ash dear, May told me that she'd like to enter the Pokémon Contests being held in the Kanto Region," said Delia.
"That sounds like a great idea," said Oak.
"Kanto has Pokémon rare from the Hoenn region, catching those Pokémon and entering them in contests would a lot of great fun," said Birch as he was smothered by Muk.
"Catching rare Pokémon, entering them in contests, now I'm starting to get really excited!" said May.
"So May if that's what you want to do how about you travel with us?" said Ash with Pikachu agreeing.
"Sure Ash I'd love to!" said May.
"Good we leave in 2 days," said Ash with a smile.
Delia was a little shocked that Ash was leaving again but at least he'll spend a little more time at home.
"Can I come too please?" asked Max.
"Sure, but only if Mom and Dad say it's okay," said May.
Max sighed.
"Don't worry we'll ask them together," said Ash.
"Thanks Ash," said Max.
'Ash has so many wonderful friends.' Delia thought with a smile.
"Alright I'm on lunch request, if you have any requests speak up now," she said.
As Ash and the others made their requests, Dante looked towards the window with a serious look.
'If Ash is not saying anything about having an intense dream, then something is coming..' He said in his mind.
Outside the lab, Jessie, James and Meowth were busy thinking of a scheme to collect all of Ash's Pokémon and present them to Giovanni.
A little bit later, Dante went with Ash, May and Max to check out Ash's Pokémon, the first stop was to see his Snorlax, who was sleeping as usual.
"Wow this is really your Snorlax Ash?" said Max.
"Wow it's even bigger when you see it up close." Added May.
"Wake up, Snorlax I came to see you!" said Ash.
Snorlax immediately woke up because of Ash's presence and waved hello at them.
May then brought out her Bulbasaur, Munchlax and Combusken and they said hi to Snorlax as well.
Ash then asked May where Beautifly and Skitty were at and she said they were back home with her parents.
Just then, there was a big rumbling sound and they saw that it was all of Ash's Pokémon.
There were his 30 Tauros, Noctowl, Bulbasaur, Heracross, Totodile, Cyndaquil, Bayleef, Kingler, Phanpy, Primeape and Poliwhirl all coming towards them.
"Wow is that all of your Pokémon?" said Max.
"There's so many of them!" said May.
"Hey it's great to see you all!" shouted Ash.
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
However the Tauros were so excited to see Ash that they carried him off, leaving the others behind.
When the dust disappeared, everyone else was okay but Ash wasn't there and they saw him holding on for dear life as the Tauros kept stampeding and Bayleef went after them.
While that was happening, Phanpy went up to Pikachu and Pikachu playfully shocked Phanpy who was happy and Ash's Bulbasaur greeted May's with a vine shake.
"Come on Tauros let me off already!" said Ash.
"BAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" squealed Bayleef running behind them.
"I'm happy to see you guys too but enough is enough already!" said Ash.
Misty and Tracey saw the situation and did a double-take.
"Stampede!" "With Ash!" they said together.
"Quick Marill use Water Gun!" said Tracey throwing his Pokéball.
Marill came out and fired the Water Gun at the Tauros carrying Ash making it back off enough for Bayleef to use Vine Whip and get him off as the herd ran past them.
"Bayleef thanks a lot," said Ash.
Bayleef rubbed her head against Ash's face making him laugh.
"Are you alright Ash?" asked Misty as she and Tracey came up to him along with their Pokémon.
"I'm fine, My Tauros are as powerful as I have ever seen them," he said.
Misty then made a playful tease that Ash's Pokémon take after their trainer and a certain someone has been running wild.
Just then May, Max and Dante came up with the rest of their Pokémon and Squirtle jumped into May's arms again.
Misty told May that Squirtle liked her and Tracey told Ash that Bulbasaur was running around telling everyone he was coming home.
Ash then threw 5 Pokéballs and out came Grovyle, Torkoal, Swellow, Corphish and Glalie.
"Everyone I'd like you to meet my friends from the Hoenn region say hi," said Ash.
All the Pokémon said hi to each other and greeted and played with each other.
Meanwhile Jessie, James and Meowth planned to take their Pokémon and made their move.
As Ash and the others talked amongst themselves, Team Rocket came to them disguised as news reporters from the Pokémon Sunday showcase, then they asked them to get in position for a picture and when they did they fell down a hole.
Noctowl and Swellow flew up to get out but a net covered them, Ash then told Pikachu to use Thunderbolt and he did but it didn't work.
Then they heard laughter and they knew who it was as they ditched their disguises.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble from the skies...
James: ...From beyond the stars a nasty surprise!
Jessie: An evil as old as galaxy...
James: ...Sent here to fulfill our destiny!
Meowth: Plus, there's me!
Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
James: To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: And James!
Meowth: And Meowth are the names!
Jessie: Anywhere there's peace in the universe...
James: ...Team Rocket...
Meowth: ...Will be there...
All: ...To make anything worse!
Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
Chimecho: Chime, Chime!
"Team Rocket!" said the gang.
"I can see you 3 haven't changed a bit!" said Misty.
"That's not true at all, didn't you notice the motto!" said Jessie.
"Grovyle use Leaf Blade and cut through that net!" said Ash.
Grovyle jumped high with his right arm blade glowing green and cut through the net, allowing Noctowl and Swellow out.
"All right!" said Ash.
"PIKA!" said Pikachu.
"AHHHHH!" Team Rocket gasped.
"That worked?" said Jessie surprised.
"Maybe they sent us the wrong net..." said James.
"Excuse me!" Jessie fumed. "You're supposed to get a net that's resistant to all types of attacks!"
"Yeah but since we usually only get electric ones, I thought you be happy of saving a little dough!" said Meowth sheepishly.
"Team Rocket!" Ash called out getting their attention, seeing that all of them got out of the hole.
"You may have fooled us once.." said Ash.
"But you never will again.." Added Misty.
"Now leave us alone!" said May.
"Yeah run back to your pathetic excuse of a boss since he's too much of a coward to fight his own battles," said Dante now irritated.
That made the trio angry.
"How dare you speak about the boss like that?" said Meowth.
"Yeah he's the greatest ever!" said James.
"Oh really, if he's the greatest then how come he doesn't come and get Pikachu himself instead of sending his lackeys to do it for him?" Dante continued.
"Dante why are you doing this?" said Max.
"Cause it's time to send a message," he replied.
"Our boss is going to put Team Rocket on the path of world domination!" said Jessie feeling her anger rising.
"Yeah put them on a one way to jail!" taunted Dante.
That made the trio very angry.
"Okay Meowth time for plan B," said James.
"Got it!" said Meowth and pressed a button.
Just then the ground shook and then something big burst through the ground, it was a big purple robot with vacuum arms, tank treads and a big red R on it.
"With the money we saved on that net, we invested in this little baby which we called Suck-Of-A-Punishment," said Meowth.
"Power up.." said Jessie.
"Suction…" added James.
"Go!" finished Meowth pulling some levers.
The Mecha arms began sucking everything and everyone held on but Totodile and Charmander got pulled up.
"Bulbasaur Vine Whip go!" said Ash.
Bulbasaur used Vine Whip to catch the two Pokémon and pull them to safety.
Squirtle was scared but May told it not to be scared and she said she promised to take care of it which made the turtle Pokémon perk up.
"What's wrong with this machine?" complained Jessie.
"Turn it up, I want to see flying twerps Meowth!" said James.
"Roger that!" said Meowth.
"Oh no you don't, Snorlax use Take Down now!" shouted Ash.
"Snorlax, Snorlax!" said Snorlax charging and then slamming into the robot, making it land on its side and knocking Team Rocket out of it.
"Well didn't that work.." said Jessie.
"Next plan Meowth," said James.
"Grab Pikachu and call it a day!" said Meowth.
"Seviper, Arbok let's go!" said Jessie throwing her Pokéballs.
"Go Cacnea and Weezing!" said James doing the same.
"CHAAAAARBOKA! Seviper!" Out came the cobra Pokémon Arbok and the fang snake Pokémon Seviper.
"Weezing!" said the Poison Gas Pokémon, and Cacnea went to hug James who got annoyed again.
Then Professor Birch, Oak and Delia came outside.
"Oh no it's Team Rocket!" shouted Birch.
"Yes indeed, I should've known when I heard the ruckus, here we go again," said Oak with a sigh.
"You seem awfully calm about this," said Birch as he reached for a Pokéball to help the kids but Delia stopped him and told him to let Ash and the others handle this.
"Go Seviper use your Poison Tail and Arbok use Poison Sting!" said Jessie.
"Seviper!" it said swinging its tail which was glowing purple. "CHAR!" said Arbok firing poisonous darts from its mouth.
"Bulbasaur use Vine Whip!" said Ash.
"I got Arbok Ash, Crobat use Air Cutter!" said Dante throwing a Pokéball.
Out came the bat Pokémon Crobat and it flapped its 4 wings to fire white S shape blades to counter Poison Sting and Bulbasaur used one whip to stop Seviper's attack and the other one went straight for Seviper scoring a hit.
"Bullseye!" said Ash.
"Go Cacnea Pin Missile! Weezing use Sludge Bomb!" said James.
Cacnea's arms glowed white and fired white stream needles and Weezing fired a glob of brown sludge from its mouths.
"Go Bulbasaur Petal Dance!" said May.
Bulbasaur released multiple pink petals in a twister like fashion at the opponent from the opening in its bulb that counter the Pin Missile and hit Cacnea.
"Primeape use Thunderbolt and Poliwhirl use Bubblebeam!" said Ash.
Primeape smashed its fists and unleashed a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from its body and Poliwhirl released a stream of light blue bubbles from its hands.
The Thunderbolt stopped Weezing's attack and Bubblebeam struck Weezing.
"Think you're so smart?" said Jessie. "Bite Seviper and Arbok use Headbutt!"
"Cacnea use Needle Arm and Weezing Tackle attack!" said James.
The 4 came in charging.
"Bulbasaur Solar Beam!" said Ash.
"BULBA!" said Bulbasaur as it gathered light in its bulb, then it fired a blue beam from its bulb at the four, sending them blasting off.
Then Team Rocket tried to sneak away but Tracey and Misty caught them.
"Hey these grounds are an important habitat to the Pokémon!" said Tracey.
"We won't let you get away with this," said Misty.
"Sorry.." They said.
"Okay then let's send them packing!" said Dante.
"Oh and when you see your boss give him this message, tell him when he's man enough to stop hiding behind lackeys, Dante and Ash will be ready for him got it?" he said and they nodded nervously.
"Good. Okay everyone let them have it!" he said.
"Marill/Azurill use Water Gun!" said Tracey and Misty.
Both water Pokémon released a spiral of water from their mouths.
"Combusken Fire Spin!" said May.
Combusken shot a vortex of fire at them from its mouth.
"Pikachu, Primeape Thunderbolt!" said Ash.
Pikachu and Primeape released a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from their bodies at the opponent.
"Crobat Air Cutter let's go!" said Dante.
Crobat flapped its wings and fired S shaped wind blades.
First Team Rocket got soaked, then dried off and then shocked and then a cooling breeze before an explosion occurred, sending them blasting off.
Everyone cheered at sending them flying and the adults saw the kids were more than capable to handle it.
Soon they put out the fire and got rid of the mecha remains.
Just then a sound was heard.
"Free, Free."
"What was that?" said Ash.
Dante then looked up and noticed something.
"Ash look!" he said.
Ash and Pikachu saw something coming towards them and they couldn't believe who it was.
There coming to them was one of their oldest friends and Ash saw the yellow ribbon around his neck and the memories soon came back to him when he first met it as a Caterpie, then it evolved into Metapod and evolved again.
"It's Butterfree!" said Ash running up to him with Pikachu on his shoulder.
The Butterfly Pokémon saw his old trainer and flew faster and straight into the arms of Ash.
"Butterfree!" said Ash.
"Pika-Pikachu!" said Pikachu happily.
Butterfree was happy to be back with his old friends but there was something weighing heavily on his heart.
"What happened to you, I thought you were going to have a family with the pink Butterfree?" said Ash.
Then Butterfree's eyes started to tear up and it was about to cry.
"Butterfree what's wrong?" asked Ash.
Dante walked over to them.
"I think I know how to help your Butterfree, Ash. And that's seeing through its memories," said Dante.
"How?" questioned Ash.
"With a little help of my friend," said Dante as took out a Great ball and it opened up to reveal an Alakazam.
"My Alakazam can connect our minds to Butterfree and show us what's troubling him," said Dante.
"Can we?" said Ash.
"Yes but Alakazam can only take you, me and Pikachu, the others cannot come, are you ready?" said Dante.
"Yeah!" said Ash.
"Very well Alakazam use your powers and link our minds now!" said Dante.
"Alakazam.." said the Psi Pokémon when its eyes glowed blue and then created a field of psychic energy that covered them and soon Dante, Ash and Pikachu went into Butterfree's mind and dove into the realm of memories.
May and the others tried to go over there to find out what was happening but Oak stopped them saying it wasn't a good idea to do it so they had to wait until their minds returned.
Meanwhile, Dante, Ash and Pikachu traveled into the depths of Butterfree's memories and hoped they could find some answers as to why it was sad and traveled all the way to Ash.
"I hope we find some answers.." said Ash concerned.
"So do I," replied Dante.
'So after reuniting with his Pokemon and defeating Team Rocket, Ash was reunited with Butterfree but it got sad when Ash mentioned his mate. Why? So it seemed a trip through its memories would help explain things and hopefully the answers could be found. So will they succeed? Find out as the journey continues!'
To be continued
Okay that ends this chapter
Sorry it took so long.
Now in the next chapter the first half will be in Butterfree's memories and the 2nd half another old friend rejoins Ash's team but who?
Also Ash will have his birthday in Cerulean City before heading off to the Battle Factory and a little bit later in Lavender Town Ash will have to contend with an ancient evil Pokémon.
Now the next chapter will be out before August.
Also here's a little update on the harem Greta and Anabel will be in it along with Sabrina and also Erika and also yes Cynthia will be in the harem but later when Ash returns 5 years later.
Also I've decided to make this Volume 1 covering the Battle Frontier and also Ash battles to become Hoenn's champion and also challenges the gyms in Kanto and competes in the Indigo Plateau and this time he'll win.
Volume 3 will cover Sinnoh and in that one Ash will be tougher on Team Galactic and Hunter J.
Now the poll shows you want Ash to get Aggron well consider it done as for the 2nd one a tie breaker Between a Shiny Arbok and Houndour I decided it with a coin flip and it's Houndour he'll get next but Ash will get Aggron as a Aron.
Well that's all for now I'm out.
So R and R no flames and no insults.
Until next time..
