Chapter 13: A Recharge at Home and a Birthday Bash Part 4

'Last time, Ash got a visit from his first Pokémon Butterfree, but he was sad, wanting to know why, Dante brought out Alakazam and it transport them to Butterfree's mind and saw his memories of what happened losing the love of his life to a hurricane after she gave her life to save everyone else and Butterfree took the egg they have and flew all the way back to Ash. Ash and the others felt sorry for Butterfree, they left the egg at the lab and Ash let Butterfree sleep with him for the night, but the next morning Ash got a visit from Pidgeot but what does it mean?'

"Pidgeot is that you?" said Ash surprised.

"PIDGEOTOU!" said the bird Pokémon proudly.

May and Misty woke up to the noise and saw a big bird Pokémon in Ash's room.

"PIKA-PI!" Pikachu said happily as he jumped on Pidgeot's back rubbing his cheek on him.

"AHHH!" the girls screamed.

"Hey Misty, May," said Ash.

"Ash what's going on?" said May.

"Oh this is my old friend Pidgeot," said Ash.

"I didn't know you had a Pidgeot," said May.

"Well it was a long time ago.." Added Ash.

"So why's Pidgeot here?" asked Misty.

"Good question," said Ash.

Butterfree was surprised to see Pidgeot but looking at his eyes it was Pidgeotto but all grown up.

"Have any clues Dante?" Ash called out as Dante jumped into Ash's room.

"I think so. Better get Alakazam on this," said Dante as he called out the Psi Pokémon.

Alakazam read Pidgeot's mind and then send everything to Dante.

"Well Ash according to Alakazam, your Pidgeot came to you because he needs your help," said Dante.

"Why?" asked Ash.

"Because the Fearow you faced before you headed for the Orange Islands is back and it's challenged you." Added Dante.

"What?" said Ash surprised.

"It challenges you, Pidgeot and Pikachu to a battle. It'll be waiting at Viridian Forest in 1 hour." Finished Dante.

Dante returned Alakazam to its Pokéball and then left.

Ash then went to his pants and pulled out his Pokédex and pressed some buttons and the data for Fearow came.

'Fearow, the Beak Pokémon. The evolved form of Spearow. Its large, powerful wings allow it to fly for an entire day. The crushing power of its beak is tremendous. Also they're very territorial.'

Ash then showed the image to May as she and Misty got down.

"Sounds like that Fearow means business Ash," May said.

"It does so that's why I'm going to face but I have a feeling it will play some dirty tricks," said Ash.

"How?" asked Misty.

"Remember Misty, it leads a flock of Spearow and they might try something so I need you to head to the lab and get Noctowl I have an idea," said Ash.

"Butterfree I know that you're still hurting but I need your help," said Ash.

Butterfree agreed.

30 minutes passed and after getting washed up and dressed and ready to go, Ash and the others stood outside of his house.

Just then Misty came with Noctowl.

"Okay good now let's go over the plan," said Ash as everyone got closer.

After 20 minutes passed and everyone was ready, Noctowl and Butterfree both have head sets and Ash told them to act if he said the secret word in case Fearow plays dirty. Then they took off and got in position.

Ash then put the head set on and got on Pidgeot's back with Pikachu riding on his back.

"Be careful Ash," said May.

"I will. I'm not that easy to be rid of," he said with a smirk.

"Let's fly Pidgeot!" said Ash as the bird Pokémon spread his wings and took off for the forest.

As they flew in the sky, Ash remembered what it was like flying on Pidgeot's back and the memories came back.

"It's been a long time since we flew huh old buddy?" said Ash.

Pidgeot chirped in response.

"Well we better do this sometimes after we take care of Fearow," said Ash.

Pidgeot picked up speed and headed forward.

They soon arrived at the Viridian Forest. After landing in an opening, Ash got off Pidgeot and walked forward.

Ash then felt something in his pocket, he reached in and pulled a Pokéball out but it was a custom made one.

"This is my fast ball, the one Kurt gave me back in Johto, this might come in handy, since I know Fearow are known to be fast.." he said to himself.

"Fearow!" shouted Ash. "I know you're here, you can come out now!"

"PIKA!" shouted Pikachu.

Just then a gust of wind blew pass and then came a sound of a shriek and coming towards them was the Pokémon that gave Ash trouble back in the day, it was Fearow.

Fearow landed and then spread its wings and let out a big howl showing its power.

"So Fearow the time has come to settle this," said Ash.

"Pikachu.." Pikachu said letting some sparks out of his cheeks.

Fearow then took off and then hovered in the sky squawking at them.

"Let's go guys!" said Ash as he got off Pidgeot who took off to meet up with Fearow.

Soon both bird Pokémon were face to face, glaring at each other waiting for one of them to make the first move.

Just then a gust of wind blew some leaves into the air and then let them drop to the ground to signal the battle to start.

(Cue Kanto trainer battle remix)

Fearow started off by moving in quickly with Peck.

"Pidgeot dodge it!" said Ash.

Pidgeot flapped his wings and went up avoiding Peck, but Fearow was determined so it changed from Peck to Drill Peck as its beak spun like a drill.

"Pidgeot use Agility!" said Ash.

Pidgeot began moving faster and increased his speed and avoided the attack.

"Pidgeot Quick Attack!" shouted Ash.

Pidgeot moved so fast a white streak formed behind him and slammed into Fearow, dealing some damage in the process.

Fearow felt some pain but wasn't giving up, it opened its beak and fired an orange-yellow beam at them.

"Damn it's a Hyper Beam! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" said Ash.

Pikachu jumped from Ash's shoulder and charged up to fire a blast of electricity at the Hyper Beam, stopping it and creating an explosion.

Pidgeot flew through and he was mad.

"Pidgeot use Aerial Ace!" said Ash.

Pidgeot started moving swiftly and was covered in white streaks and slammed into Fearow, but Fearow started moving fast as well and covered in white streaks and slammed into Pidgeot.

"What the? It used Aerial Ace too!" said Ash surprised.

Fearow squawked loudly and used Aerial Ace again, but Ash was on to it.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt and Pidgeot Gust attack!" said Ash.

Pikachu fired a blast of electricity and Pidgeot flapped his wings and whipped up a gust of wind and fired at Fearow and it had Pikachu's Thunderbolt swirling around it increasing the damage and the combo slammed into Fearow dealing a lot of damage. Now Fearow had singe marks all over it and it was mad, so it played a dirty move.

Fearow squawked 5 times in a code and out came a flock of Spearow ready to attack, when suddenly…

"FREEEEEEEEE, FRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Out of the bushes came Butterfree and he was mad! Noctowl followed him and was surprised so was Ash, Pikachu, Pidgeot and Fearow.

The Spearow laughed at Butterfree only for some to get hit by a Psybeam and went down for the count.

The Spearow flock got mad and went after Butterfree, Noctowl wanted to help but Butterfree told it to step aside as it was his fight.

Butterfree had a feeling Fearow would play dirty, so he had Noctowl scan the trees and there was a flock of Spearow waiting for Fearow's command and that made him mad.

Butterfree continued landing a can of whoop-ass on the Spearow, first he used Aerial Ace to land a few hits in, then used Psybeam and then Shadow Ball taking them out one by one.

"Holy shit!" said Ash as he watched Butterfree take out the Spearow without breaking a sweat.

(Cue Johto rival battle music)

Butterfree had a fire ignited in him and now he wouldn't be helpless to help his friends ever again.

Butterfree made a vow to never lose anyone close to him again, he'll protect his friends and family with every fiber of his being.

Fearow saw that its plan was failing and tried to fly away from it when Ash saw it and gave chase.

"You're not getting away this time!" said Ash. "Noctowl get in front of it!"

The Owl Pokémon managed to get in front of Fearow and Fearow tried to get away but its moves were already predicted.

Soon Butterfree defeated the flock and rejoined the others.

Now Fearow was trapped.

"Time to end this!" said Ash.

Fearow then used one last Hyper Beam and aimed it at Ash. This shocked Pikachu and the others.

But something happened. Ash's eyes turned blue and he held his right hand out and a shield of aura was formed, protecting him and deflecting the attack.

Fearow's eyes widened as it was done now.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt, Pidgeot use Gust, Noctowl use Confusion and Butterfree use Psybeam!" commanded Ash.

Pikachu fired a blast of electricity, Pidgeot whipped up a blast of wind, Noctowl fired a blue beam from its horns and Butterfree fired a multi-color beam from his eyes.

Soon all 4 attacks hit their mark and Fearow went down for the count as it landed on the ground hard.

When the dust cleared Fearow had swirly eyes.

Ash's eyes returned to normal and he saw Fearow was beaten.

(End music)

"We won!" shouted Ash.

Butterfree came flying towards Ash and fly around him being happy.

"Wow Butterfree I didn't know you had those moves in you." Said Ash.

Butterfree squeaked happily.

Just then Fearow got up weakly and was struggling to stand.

Ash then took the fast ball and enlarged it, then he turned his hat back and then said "Fast ball go!" and threw it.

The fast ball hit Fearow and was turned into a red light and the ball opened up and the light went inside and the ball closed and went to the ground. It moved around while flashing a red light for a few seconds before it stopped moving and made a ding sound.

Ash then picked it up.

"Alright I caught Fearow!" said Ash with Pikachu, Butterfree, Pidgeot and Noctowl.

Ash then let Fearow out and was in shock he walked up to it, but Fearow felt a bit scared.

"Look Fearow I'm sorry," said Ash surprising it.

"I'm sorry that I threw that rock at you when you were a Spearow cause I thought you were a Pidgey but I was starting out on my journey and well it was a beginners mistake, but that's different now I'm a lot better now and also I'm stronger too and you want to be strong right? Then let's get stronger together what do you say?" he said.

Fearow was surprised and thought for a moment, it then turned to Pidgeot and communicated through squawking and said it was sorry and promised to not be a bully again. Which Pidgeot accepted.

Then it called out to the flock of Spearow who got back up and saw their leader on Ash's side meaning it has been caught. Fearow told them to find a new home and this time no bullying other Pokémon and try to make peace with them as it decided to go with Ash.

The flock understood and they took off headed west for Johto.

Ash then heard his stomach growl.

"Well then let's go and get something to eat," he said getting on Pidgeot's back with Pikachu climbing on his shoulder.

"Let's go!" said Ash.

Pidgeot took off with Noctowl, Butterfree and Fearow in tow and headed for Ash's house.

May and Misty were worried for Ash since he went to face Fearow and they waited outside for him.

"I hope he's okay," said Misty.

"So do I." added May.

The 2 girls are secretly in love with Ash but neither confessed to him out of fear, then they saw something in the distance.

It was Pidgeot and it was carrying Ash and Pikachu and with them is Butterfree, Noctowl and Fearow.

"Why is Fearow following Ash?" said Misty.

Soon Pidgeot landed in front of Ash's house and he got off.

"Thanks Pidgeot I'll see you and the others at the lab, take Fearow and make sure it feels comfortable," said Ash.

Pidgeot chirped in agreement and took off leading the other 3 straight to the lab.

"ASH!"

Pikachu jumped off as Ash was tackled to the ground by Misty and May.

"You're okay!" said May.

"You had us worried you dummy!" added Misty.

Ash felt them cling on to him and they shook a little.

"I'm okay you two," he said with a smile.

The girls got up and then helped Ash back up and then hugged him.

Just then Delia came out and saw Ash was being hugged by Misty and May and smiled.

"Well, well seems my little pumpkin has got 2 girlfriends." She teased them making all 3 blushed red.

"MOM!" shouted Ash in embarrassment.

May and Misty let go of Ash out of embarrassment, but their faces were still red.

"Come now breakfast is ready," she said and they all went inside including Pikachu.

In the kitchen everyone was eating their foods and Pikachu was eating his Pokémon food.

"So Ash why was Fearow following you?" asked May.

"Oh that's because I caught it," said Ash making Misty and May shocked.

"Really?" said Misty and Ash explained everything including when Butterfree unleashed a can of whoop ass on some Spearow.

"And after all of that you caught Fearow with a fast ball?" said May.

"Yep and its flock is heading to Johto and they'll leave Pidgeot's friends alone," said Ash.

"That's great Ash!" said May hugging him which caused a blush to appear on his face.

Dante did an eye smile at Ash.

"Well at least they won't try to attack me on my birthday.." said Ash then he realized what he said. "CRAP!"

"Your birthday?!" said May and Misty. "You never told us about your birthday."

"Well that's because I don't like talking about it or make a big deal of it," said Ash lowering his head.

"How come?" asked Misty.

"Because the day Ash was born, his father left on his journey and he hasn't been seen or heard of for 13 years," Delia said sadly.

Dante, Mimey, May, Misty and Pikachu felt sorry for Ash, Misty and May hugged him for support.

"Sorry.." said Misty.

"It's fine," said Ash.

Misty felt very sad for Ash and she wanted to cheer him up, she slowly felt her feelings for him growing stronger and then an idea came to her.

"Hold on Ash I need to take care of something," said Misty as she left the kitchen and went to use the phone to make a call.

May then pulled Ash into a hug and rubbed his back telling him it's alright, Pikachu jumped on his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek.

About 10 minutes later, Misty came back with some good news.

"Ash I called my sisters and after some talking they agreed to let me throw you a birthday party at the Cerulean Gym!" said Misty.

"That's great Misty!" said Delia. "I'll head over to Cerulean City in a couple of days to get things ready."

"Thanks Mrs. Ketchum. Well Ash it will be fun," said Misty.

"Yeah I guess so," said Ash cheering up a little.

"Well let's finish up eating quick because Professor Oak has something for us," said Misty.

That got Ash to smile and he dug into his food like a beast.

After 10 minutes of eating the food was gone.

"Well I'm stuffed, come on Pikachu!" said Ash running through the door and towards the lab.

"Pikachu!" said the mouse Pokémon as he ran after his trainer, Misty and May did the same and then Dante who whooshed like a sonic boom all the way to the lab.

Delia smiled. "Ash takes after his father. I wish you were here dear to see how much Ash has grown.." She sighed.

(At Oak's lab)

Everyone arrived there and there was a bit of commotion when Tracey returned Charmander and Bulbasaur, but Squirtle started crying again and jumped into May's arms.

"Well looks like Squirtle wants to be with you May," said Misty.

"Really you want to come with me Squirtle?" asked May.

"Squirtle, Squirt!" said Squirtle.

"Well that settles it," said Ash.

Tracey then handed May Squirtle's Pokéball.

"By the way May would you like to leave your Bulbasaur here?" asked Professor Oak.

"Sure and it'll learn a lot from Ash's but also have some fun too," said May.

"Well it won't be the only one to join us here, Ash's Glalie and Torkoal will be joining as well. Things are about to get more lively around here," said Oak.

"Oh we have something for both for you as a gift for starting new journeys," said Professor Birch.

Oak handed Ash and May new Pokédexes, the red for Ash and the yellow May and both trainers thanked them.

"Uh Professor what about me?" asked Max.

"Hey Max," said Tracey walking up to him. "I downloaded all the Battle Frontier data into your PokéNav," he said handing it to him.

"Thanks Tracey!" said Max.

"Okay let's see where's the closest facility," said Max opening his PokéNav and searching for until he got a hit.

"The Battle Factory and it's right near Cerulean city!" he said.

"Look like we're traveling again," Ash said to Misty.

"Yeah it feels like old times," said Misty with a smile.

"But we're going to make a stop in Cerulean City," said Ash.

"Why?" asked Max.

"Because we're going there to celebrate Ash's birthday," said May excitedly.

"WHAT?!" said Max.

After explaining everything to him Max calmed down.

After some Pokémon poetry, Ash and the others headed back to his house for some rest.

"You guys go back I need to speak with Professor Oak alone," said Dante.

Soon Ash and his friends left and Dante and Oak went outside to speak alone.

A few hours later everyone was asleep, Max was in the guest room, Dante who came back slept on the couch and May and Misty went to sleep with Ash in his room with Pikachu.

The next day after, everyone washed up, got dressed and had breakfast, they were outside of Ash's house ready to go.

"Well everyone take care of Ash," said Delia.

"We will!" said everyone.

Before anyone could leave, Phanpy came running up to Ash.

"Phanpy what are you doing here?" he asked.

Phanpy told Ash it wanted to come along for the journey.

"Well then welcome aboard," said Ash making Phanpy happy.

They then said goodbye to Delia and that they'll see her at Cerulean City.

'Good luck sweetheart.' She thought to herself.

Soon they left Pallet town and made their way to Cerulean City and along the way Brock joined up and got filled in, soon all 6 including Pikachu made their way to Misty's home for Ash's birthday.

'A lot has happened, first Ash catches Fearow, then Phanpy came along for the ride and now they're heading for Cerulean City to celebrate Ash's birthday. What kind of funny hi-jinx's will happen when they get there? The answer's soon to come as the journey continues!'
