when we last left Ash Ketchum and Cody Andrews they had just stopped to relax in route 1 and to get to know their new Pokemon friends when suddenly a flock of Spearow were being attacked by a swarm of Beedrill thanks to our heroes the flock managed to drive off the swarm their reward for helping the were two new pokemon in the form of a little Spearow who was a member of the flock and a ratatta. Before leaving route 1 our heroes bore witness to a mysterious Pokemon flying overhead. With the sight in their memories our heroes continue their journey.
We find ourselves in a town known as Viridian City where we see a woman dressed in a police uniform speaking through an intercom.
"Attention, citizens of Viridian City, Attention, citizens of Viridian City we have reports of possible Pokemon thieves in our area be on the lookout for suspicious looking strangers, I repeat be on the lookout for suspicious looking-" she said before seeing Ash and Cody walking towards the gate.
as they were about to enter the city she stops them.
"hold it! Just where do you think you're going with those Pokemon you two?" She asked them with a tone of suspicion.
"Sorry ma'am but they're our Pokemon and we were just heading to the Pokemon center to get them patched up." Ash said causing her tone to soften.
"oh I'm sorry. I thought you might be stealing them just show me your IDs and you can go." She said.
"our IDs?" Ash questioned.
Cody sighed.
"she means show her our pokedexes" he said.
"oh right." Ash said sheepishly before they both pulled out their pokedexes and showed them to the officer.
she smiled.
"good you're all set how about I take you to the Pokemon center myself?" She offered.
"sure if you don't mind ma'am." Ash said.
"great and no more of that ma'am stuff call me Officer Jenny." She said before they got on her motorcycle and sped off to the Pokemon center.
Meanwhile as this was happening we see someone pulling a wanted poster up to a balloon.
"a wanted poster. How flattering." A woman with long red hair said as she and and a man with blue hair looked at the poster.
"flattering? This picture makes me look terrible." The man said.
"then you should be happy that the photographer captured the real you." The woman said.
her partner smiled.
"exactly." he said as he threw the wanted poster away.
"we'll show these bumpkins." The woman said.
the man pulled out a rose.
"the people of Viridian City will be sorry they ever saw this face." He said before a cat-like Pokemon spoke.
"we're all sorry to see your face. Stay focused we're here to capture rare and unusual Pokemon. Don't forget. Meowth!" The Pokemon now known as Meowth said.
his two partners nod.
"but of course." They said.
"and just remember, I'm the top cat." He said causing.
His two partners chuckle in amusement.
We cut to the Pokemon center where a pink haired woman dressed in a nurse's uniform sitting at the front desk when Officer Jenny's motorcycle came to a stop in front of her startling her.
"we have a driveway you know." She said as they got off the bike.
"sorry about that Nurse Joy but they wanted to get here and I decided to help them." Officer Jenny said.
Ash and Cody walked up to the front desk.
"excuse me Nurse Joy but could you take care of our Pokemon?" Ash questioned.
Nurse Joy smiled.
"of course after all that is my job." She said as two Pokemon wearing Nurse's caps came out with a stretcher.
"hey a couple of Chansey." Ash said before pulling out his Pokedex.
Chansey, the egg Pokemon. It is said to bring happiness, it shares it's eggs with injured people.
"nice they sound like awesome Pokemon." Ash said as he and Cody placed Pikachu and Riolu onto the stretcher.
"excuse me but you're their trainers right?" Nurse Joy questioned.
"yes we are Nurse Joy is something wrong?" Ash questioned.
"nothing is wrong I just want to know what happened that's all." She said getting a sigh of relief from Ash before he began to explain what happened between the Spearow flock and the Beedrill swarm.
"I see we have been getting reports of a swarm of Beedrill causing trouble in route 1 they must have tried to take over the flock's territory before you two showed up." Officer Jenny said.
Cody nods.
"that makes sense Beedrill are known to be aggressive and territorial." He said as Nurse Joy put on some rubber gloves.
"hey Nurse Joy is there anything we can do to help?" Ash asked.
she turned to him.
"no need Ash I have everything under control." She said.
"she's right she's the best Pokemon nurse in town you don't have anything to worry about." Officer Jenny said before realizing something.
"oh my goodness. I left my motorcycle parked at the front desk." She said smiling sheepishly.
"next time use the driveway." Nurse Joy said in amusement before walking away to treat Pikachu and Riolu.
"Well I guess all we can do is wait." Ash said.
Cody nods.
"right so what should we do?" He questioned.
"not sure." Ash said.
He then noticed a couple of video phones.
"I know let's go call mom." Ash suggested.
"good idea we need to let her know that we're doing okay after all." Cody agreed.
they then walked to one of the phones and made the call.
"hello, this is the Ketchum residence." Delia answered.
"hey mom" Ash greeted.
She smiled.
"oh, hi, honey, Cody. Is everything okay?" She questioned as her face appeared on the screen.
"we're fine mom we had just gotten to Viridian City" Ash said.
"wow you're already in Viridian City that's amazing it took your father four days to get there when he was starting out." She said happily.
"speaking of dad how's he doing?" Ash questioned curious about how his father is doing.
"oh he's doing fine he's currently with Professor Oak right now helping with his research." She answered.
Ash smiled.
"that's good to hear I was worried when I didn't see him with you outside the lab." Ash said.
his mom smiled.
"it's alright a few Pokemon got into a fight and he and his Charizard had to step in, he did however wanted to apologize for not seeing you off though." She said.
Ash smiled at her.
"I see can you tell him that it's okay, And that we'll call him when we can?" Ash questioned.
"sure thing sweetie take care." She said before ending the call.
"Well she's as cheery as ever huh?" Cody said.
Ash chuckled.
"yeah well that's mom for ya always in a good mood." Ash said.
This gets a laugh from Cody before Ash noticed a mural on the wall.
"hey check this out." He said as he walked over to it with Cody following them.
"well what do you know those are the three legendary birds Moltress, Zapdos, and Articuno and the last one's an Arcanine." Cody said listing each one.
"I wonder if we'll see them on our journey?" Ash questioned.
"well you never know we might just will." Cody answered before hearing video phone on the desk ring.
"hello." Ash said answering the phone.
"here I'm over here." A voice said.
the Arcanine mural moved down to reveal a screen.
"it's me Professor Oak. Don't you recognize me?" Oak questioned.
"no, Professor, I didn't recognize the back of your head." Ash said.
Cody groaned.
"Professor you're using the wrong camera again." He said.
the Professor turned around to see that he indeed was using the wrong camera.
"oh so I am my apologies." He said as he switched it back to the screen in front of him.
"there we go." He said before clearing his throat.
"I just spoke with your mother and she tells me that you and Cody have made it to the Pokemon center in Viridian City." He said.
Ash nods.
"yeah we did." He said confirming it.
"I see congratulations on getting there so fast." Oak said.
they smiled.
"btw Gary had bet me a million dollars that you wouldn't catch a new Pokemon by the time you got there." He said.
Cody face palmed.
"while you shouldn't be making bets about our catching Pokemon Professor you'll be happy to know that me and Ash have caught one Pokemon each." Cody said.
The Professor to let out a cheer.
"Btw Professor guess what we saw?"" Ash questioned.
"what did you see my boy?" Oak questioned in curiosity.
"we saw the legendary Pokemon Ho-oh." Cody said.
the Professor looked at them in shock.
"you two saw Ho-oh!" The Professor said in shock.
"yep" they both answered.
"astonishing many researchers have looked their whole lives and never even caught a glimpse of Ho-oh but you two managed to see her on the first day of your journey." Professor Oak said amazed.
"I know we were pretty surprised ourselves." Ash said.
"amazing." The Professor said before hearing his doorbell ring.
"ah, well there's my Pizza, it was nice talking to you two good luck." He said before ending the call.
"the Professor never changes does he?" Cody questioned amused by the the Professor's antics.
"yep so what do you want to do while while we wait for Pikachu and Riolu?" Ash questioned.
before Cody could answer a voice shouted.
"now I've got you!" The voice shouted angrily.
they turned around to see a red haired girl holding a charred bicycle over her shoulder.
"I knew that I would find you here!" She yelled.
"whoa miss what happened to your bike?" Ash questioned.
She glared at him.
"first off my name is Misty not miss, and second you happened to my bike you little loser!" The girl now known as Misty shouted.
"hey first off don't call my friend a loser and second what do you mean he did that to your bike?" Cody questioned angrily.
"well if you must know I was sitting next to a lake fishing just minding my own business when suddenly a bolt of electricity appeared out of nowhere and zapped my bike!" She explained angrily.
"huh sounds like that happened during our battle against the Beedrill." Ash said.
Cody looked at Misty.
"so is that why you're bothering us?" He questioned.
she huffed.
"yes it's because of you two that my bike is destroyed and you're both going to pay for it!" She said angrily.
"really you followed us all the way here just to make us pay for something that was an accident lady you need to get your priorities straight." Cody said.
Ash chuckled.
before Misty could retort Nurse Joy walked into the room with her Chansey following her while pushing the stretcher that Pikachu and Riolu were sitting on.
"good news your Pokemon are all healed up." She said.
Ash and Cody smiled.
"Awesome how do you feel Pikachu?" Ash questioned
"Pika Pika pikachu." Pikachu said while flashing a peace sign
"How about you Riolu?" Cody questioned.
Riolu let's out an enthusiastic bark while looking ready for battle.
everyone in the room laughed at Riolu's behavior.
before anyone could say anything else Officer Jenny's voice could be heard.
"your attention, please. Our Viridian City radar sensors have detected an aircraft belonging to a gang of Pokemon thieves. If you have a Pokemon in your possession, exercise extreme caution." She said surprising our heroes.
Above the Pokemon center hovers the balloon of said Pokemon thieves.
"Well guess we woke up this sleepy dump." The red headed woman said in amusement.
"And how dare they act like we're criminals? They should welcome Team Rocket." The man said pretending to be insulted.
"Well, we'll teach them to respect that name." The woman said while smirking.
"Meowth. And when we snatch all their Pokemon, those scared little mice will know I'm the top cat." Meowth said getting chuckles from his partners.
"We know, Meowth. We know." They both said before they each took out a Pokeball.
"Ekans, Koffing, attack!" They said as they threw their Pokemon towards the Pokemon center's ceiling.
Before our heroes could react two Poke balls broke through a glass window before opening to reveal two Pokémon.
one was a sphere like Pokemon with tubes all around its body which expelled poisonous gas, the other one was a snake like Pokemon with a yellow stripe going around its neck.
The sphere like Pokemon suddenly started to fill the room with smoke causing everyone to cough before covering their mouths.
"What's going on? Who are they?" Ash questioned in worry.
laughter could be heard.
"don't be frightened little boy." the woman said before she and her partners introduced themselves.
(I refuse to do their motto it's just way too annoying.)
Our heroes stared at the trio known as Team Rocket in confusion before Cody spoke up.
"wow that had to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life." He said unimpressed.
this causes Team Rocket to face fault.
"How dare you mock the Team Rocket motto." The woman now known as Jessie said in anger.
"Yeah it took us forever to come up with that." The man known as James said equally as angry.
"Yeah yeah whatever why are you here?" Cody questioned unfazed by Team Rocket's rant.
"well if you must know we're here to steal rare and valuable Pokemon." Jessie explained.
"well you've come to the wrong place this place is for sick and injured Pokemon." Nurse Joy said.
"oh what about that blue dog over there?" Jessie questioned while pointing at Riolu.
"you're right Jessie I've never seen that Pokemon before." James said as he examined Riolu.
"Alright then let's grab it and the Pikachu for the boss." Meowth said.
Ash and Cody glared at the three thieves.
"you're not getting Riolu or Pikachu." Cody said while getting in front of Riolu and Pikachu.
"right you'll have to go through us first." Ash said as he also stood in front of Riolu and Pikachu.
"fine then we'll take them by force attack!" Jessie commanded.
As Team Rocket's Pokemon charged at our heroes.
"Riolu Force Palm on Ekans!" Cody said.
Riolu appeared in front the snake Pokemon catching it off guard allowing the little dog Pokemon to hit Ekans with Force Palm sending it flying into Jessie.
"Pikachu quick attack on Koffing!" Ash said.
Pikachu started to glow before dashing towards Koffing before slamming into it before it could react sending it crashing into James.
"great want something done right you got to do it yourself." Meowth said.
he was about to attack when suddenly Riolu was right in front of him scaring him out of his wits.
"Riolu use karate chop!" Cody said.
Riolu used hits Meowth with his glowing paw sending him crashing into his Teammates.
As Team Rocket laid on the ground Ash and Cody turned to each other with smiles on their faces.
"you ready end this Ash?" Cody questioned.
his friend nods before they turned their gazes back to Team Rocket who are trying to to recover.
"Riolu use Brick Break!" Cody said.
his starter nods before using the chosen move to knock Team Rocket into the air.
"now Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Ash said.
Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and unleashed its most powerful electrical attack on Team Rocket causing an explosion that destroyed most of the Pokemon center's roof.
just outside the Pokemon center Officer Jenny arrived just in time to see the explosion.
"too late. But not for the fireworks." She commented as smoke rose out of what's left of the Pokemon center's roof.
Later that night we see Team Rocket hanging from the rope of their balloon while looking charred from Pikachu's thunderbolt.
"great, a cat losing to a dog and a mouse." Jessie said upset that they lost to a bunch of kids.
"That Pikachu is no ordinary Pikachu and that dog Pokemon certainly isn't from Kanto." Meowth said.
"They're certainly very rare, both perfect prizes." James said.
"Let's catch them." Jessie said with enthusiasm
"Perhaps we will." Meowth said before a hole suddenly appeared in their balloon causing it spiral out of control making them scream in fright.
The next morning Nurse Joy is seen talking to a woman who shares a striking resemblance to her.
"I'm very glad that no one was hurt and that the Pokemon are safe and sound." The woman said in relief.
"thanks sis Ash, Cody, Misty, Pikachu, and Riolu are heading your way, to Pewter City." Nurse Joy informed her sister before looking worried.
"if they can get safely through the Viridian Forest." She said in worry.
"don't worry, from what I've seen, those four can take care good care of themselves." Officer Jenny said reassuringly.
Nurse Joy smiled.
"well, I hope you're right." She said hoping that our heroes will be alright.
what other obstacles will our heroes encounter? find out next time as Ash and Cody's journey continues.
