As Ash and Cody traveled down route 1, they saw a lot of pokémon. After a minute of walking they come across a tree.
"Hey Ash how about we stop for a break here?" Cody questioned.
"Sure Cody." Ash said, walking towards the tree before sitting down with Cody following suit.
"Why don't we have Fennekin and Blaziken join us?" Cody suggested.
Ash smiled.
"Sure I'm sure they'll like it." Ash said before grabbing Fennekin and Blaziken's Pokeballs and let's them out.
The moment she was let out, Fennekin jumped into Ash's arms and started nuzzling his cheek.
"Awesome I'm happy to see you too Fennekin." Ash said chuckling as Fennekin continued to nuzzle him.
"Wow Fennekin really seems to like you." Cody said before noticing that Blaziken was keeping her distance with a nervous look on her face.
"Hey Blaziken, what's wrong?" Ash questioned.
Blaziken just looked at the ground with a light blush on her face.
"I think I know what's wrong with Blaziken." Cody said.
"What's that?" Ash asked.
"The Professor told me a little about Blaziken before we left. He said that Blaziken has a nervous disposition especially around people she doesn't know." Cody said.
"I see." Ash said as he stared at Blaziken before smiling.
"Well that's alright Blaziken, I can be patient. Take all the time you need and I'm sure that you'll be more comfortable around us in no time." Ash said.
Blaziken stared at him in surprise as her blush deepened before she nodded in gratitude.
"That was nice of you Ash." Cody said impressed.
"It's no problem, after all a good trainer puts his Pokemon's feelings before his own, that's what you always say." Ash said making Cody chuckle.
"You got that right. Hey, I just got an idea." he said getting, a curious look from Ash.
"What's your idea?" He asked.
"Well, while we're resting, how about we use our pokedexes on our pokemon?" Cody suggested.
"Sure that's a great idea." Ash agreed before taking out his pokedex.
"Alright Pikachu you first." Ash said while pointing his pokedex at Pikachu.
Pikachu, the mouse Pokémon. It's cheeks store tremendous amount of electricity. If threatened it will release electric shocks. This Pokemon is male and knows the moves: Agility, Quick Attack, Thundershock, and Thunderbolt.
Ash whistles.
"Wow Pikachu, that's an impressive moveset" he said, making Pikachu smile.
"Alright Fennekin it's your turn." Ash said pointing his pokedex at her.
Fennekin, the Fox pokémon. Fennekin expels hot air that can reach nearly 400 degrees. It likes to snack on twigs. This pokemon is female and knows the moves: Ember, Scratch, Hidden power, Quick Attack.
"Nice Fennekin, you're pretty tough that's so cool." Ash said making.
Fennekin blushed by the praise.
"Alright Blaziken, you're next. Just hold still." Ash said, getting a nod from her as he pointed the Pokedex at her.
Blaziken, the blaze pokémon. When facing a foe, it lets loose flames from its wrists. The stronger the opponent the more intense the flames. This pokemon is female and it knows the moves Blaze Kick, Flamethrower, Power-up Punch, and Close Combat.
"Wow Blaziken, that's an amazing moveset you're awesome!" Ash said causing Blaziken to blush madly at the complement.
Cody chuckled.
"Alright, I believe it's my turn to scan my Pokemon." he said while pulling out his Pokedex.
"you ready Riolu?" He asked getting a nod from the little canine pokemon before pointing his Pokedex at him.
Riolu, the emanation pokémon. The aura that it emits alerts others if it's sad or afraid. This pokemon is male and knows the moves: Force Palm, Karate Chop, Quick Attack, and Brick Break.
"Nice that's an awesome moveset, Riolu." Cody said, getting a smile from said pokémon.
"Alright what's say we have some lunch?" Cody suggested.
"That sounds great." Ash said as they ate.
Cody noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"Hey Ash we have company." he said, gesturing to a nearby bush.
Ash looks to see a mouse like Pokemon with purple and cream colored fur and a curled tail walking out of the bush and towards them.
"Hey it's a Rattata." Ash said pulling out his Pokedex.
Rattata, the mouse Pokémon. Living wherever food is available ceaselessly scavenge anything to eat.
"Hey little guy don't worry we won't hurt you." Ash said soothingly, making the little mouse Pokemon walk closer to him.
"Are you hungry?" he questioned as he pulled out a cracker and held it out for the little mouse.
Curious, the Rattata gave the cracker a quick sniff before eating it, letting out a happy squeak indicating that it liked it.
Ash chuckled.
"I'm glad you like it here have another." Ash said as he held out another cracker for the little mouse Pokemon which it took happily before climbing into Ash's lap and layed down making Ash chuckle before petting it.
Cody chuckled at the scene.
"Well Ash looks like you made a new friend." he said.
Ash chuckled before noticing something.
"Looks like you made a new friend too Cody." he said while pointing to the top of Cody's head.
Cody looks to see a little bird-like Pokemon with black, red, and brown feathers standing on his head while giving him a look of curiosity.
"Well hello there little one are you hungry too?" He asked getting a nod from the little bird.
he chuckled before pulling out some chips and handing it one which it ate happily before nuzzling cody causing him to laugh before pulling out his Pokedex.
Spearow the tiny bird Pokemon very protective of it's territory, it flaps it's short wings busily to dart around at high speed.
suddenly a sounds of distress could be heard.
"what was that?" Ash questioned.
"sounds like there are Pokemon are in trouble." Cody said before noticing Spearow had a worried look on it's face.
"what's wrong Spearow?" He asked only for the little bird to ignore him before flying in the direction of the sounds.
"where is it going?" Ash questioned making Cody think for a second before it clicked in his mind.
"those sounds of panic must be coming from it's flock come on we got ro help!" he said.
"right let's go!" Ash said before they and their Pokemon took off running towards the direction of the sounds.
After an hour of running they stop in front of a tree before their eyes widened as they saw a bunch of bee-like Pokemon attacking a flock of Spearow.
"Beedrill but what are they doing here?" Ash questioned.
"they're probably trying to claim this area as their territory and are trying to steal it from the Spearow." Cody guessed before Riolu called out while pointing.
they looked to see the Spearow they met trying it's best to fight off the beedrill but was clearly tired.
"we gotta help them ready Ash?" Cody asked getting a nod from said Trainer.
"Alright Riolu use karate chop!" Cody called out getting a nod from the little canine before using said move causing his paw to glow before taking out a few Beedrill.
"your turn Fenniken use ember." Ash said.
Fenniken did just that firing small flames scaring off a good number of Beedrill.
the swarm noticed the human's presence before retaliating with a barrage of pin missiles.
"watch out dodge it quick!" Both trainers yelled.
Both Pokemon jumped out of the way of the attack.
"good job now Riolu Brick Break!" Cody said.
Nodding Riolu did just that causing his Paw to once again glow but this time in an orange glow taking down more Beedrill.
"great job Riolu now Ash finish the job." Cody said.
Ash nodded.
"right alright Pikachu thunderbolt 'em!" He said.
Pikachu shouts "PikaCHUUUUUU!" Before a giant volt of electricity blanketed the area.
when Pikachu was done the Beedrill swarm can be seen on the ground unconscious.
"we did it!" Both trainers cheered along with their Pokemon.
Suddenly they were swarmed by the Spearow flock who started happily nuzzling them in gratitude.
They all laughed before a loud caw could be heard they look to see two bigger versions of the Spearow with a longer beak standing in front of them.
"who are they?" Ash questioned.
"They're Fearow the evolved form of Spearow they must be the leaders of the flock." Cody said.
the two Fearow stared at them for a second before they started to preen their hairs getting a chuckle from them.
"hey stop that tickles!" Ash said while laughing but was ignored.
after an hour of preening the two boys stood up.
"we were happy to help but we better hit the road." Cody said about to leave before a caw stopped them.
they turned to see the Spearow they met flying in front of them before landing on Cody's shoulder.
"oh hey Spearow what's up?" He asked.
Spearow looked at him for a second before flying towards the Fearow and started to talk to them.
"what are they talking about?" Ash questioned.
Cody shrugged before seeing the Fearow nod their heads getting a happy caw from Spearow before it went back to Cody.
"so Spearow what's up?" He questioned.
Spearow says nothing as se flew towards his belt and pointed her beak towards one of his empty Pokeballs getting a look of realization from Cody.
"you want to come with me? He questioned getting a nod from the little bird.
he looked towards the Fearow wondering if they were okay with it getting a nod from the two as a smile appered on his face.
"Alright then Spearow welcome to the team." he said pulling out a Pokeball before throwing at Spearow who got sucked into it with a ding signaling it's capture.
"Well i got myself a Spearow." he said getting a happy growl from Riolu.
After they said they're goodbyes to the flock they continued down route one before Pikachu's voice caught their attention.
"what's up Pikachu?" Ash questioned as Pikachu pointed behind them.
they look to see the Rattata they met following them.
"hey it's that Rattata we encountered." Cody said as Ash kneeled in front of the little mouse.
"hey Rattata what are you doing here?" he questioned.
Rattata smiled at him.
"Ash i think Rattata wants to go with you." Cody guessed.
"Really you want to come with me?" Ash questioned getting a nod from the little mouse.
Ash smiled.
"Alright then we'd be glad to have you with us." he said as he pulled out a Pokeball before tapping it on Rattata's forehead capturing it.
"Alright i caught a Rattata!" Ash declared with Pikachu flashing the peace sign.
Cody chuckled.
"that you did ready to hit the road?" He asked getting a nod from his brother in all but blood.
"you bet i am! onward to viridian city!" Ash shouted but before they took a step a noise could be heard in the sky.
they look to see a bird-like Pokemon resembling a Phoenix.
"who's that Pokemon?" Ash questioned.
Cody looked shocked.
"the legendary Pokemon Ho-oh." he said getting a look of surprise from Ash as they watched Ho-oh fly away.
Cody smiled.
"come on let's go." he said getting a nod from Ash before heading down the road as they continued on their journey.
what will they face? tune in next time to find out as their journey continues.
