Chapter 4 Mt. Moon and Fossils
Hello everyone, this chapter will mainly cover Mt. Moon and the gang making it to Cerulean City for Ash to have his next gym battle Ash and Brock will capture new Pokémon and Misty will add two Pokémon to her team in this chapter as well. Also, some important characters make an appearance. With all that out of the way let's begin the story.
After walking for a day Ash, Misty, and their new member Brock have made it to the entrance of Mt. Moon.
"We've finally made it" Ash says excitedly "Pika!" Pikachu says with a nod as Misty speaks.
"Thank goodness we've been walking all day" Misty says tiredly she sits down as Brock speaks.
"It's been a while since I last came here, I wonder if anything's changed?" Brock questions as Ash speaks.
"Well let's not wait and find out let's head inside I'm looking forward to getting my next gym badge" Ash says with fire in his eyes as he and Brock begin to walk to the entrance of the cave as Misty speaks.
"Wait were not going to rest first?" Misty asks the two boys look at her as Ash speaks.
"Oh, please Misty it's just walking it's not that bad and as a Pokémon trainer you should have a fit body like me and Brock" Ash says while having a smug look on his face. This makes Misty annoyed as she speaks.
"Your body's fit but your mind is dumb" Misty mutters to herself, Ash hears that and speaks.
"What you say?!" Ash asks in anger as Misty speaks.
"You heard me!" Misty responds back as the two are about to get into a heated argument Brock speaks.
"Hey, do you guys hear that? There's some noise coming from the cave" Brock asks Ash and Misty stop what they're doing they look at Brock's direction and begin to hear noise from the cave. The noise keeps getting louder coming closer and closer until a horde of blue bat like Pokémon appear from the cave scaring the group.
"AHHHHHH!" The three trainers plus Pikachu scream and duck their heads, Ash and Misty hear the sound of a Pokeball dinging signaling someone caught one of the bat Pokémon they want to look but stay ducked down. After a few moments the bat Pokemon are gone, the group raises their heads, stand up and look at each other in confusion as Misty speaks.
"What was that about?" Misty asks while still covering her head as Brock speaks.
"I'm not sure Zubat usually aren't out during this time of the day" Brock responds while crossing his arms as Ash speaks.
"Zubat huh?" Ash says and looks at Zubat's Pokedex entry.
"Zubat, the blind Pokémon with supersonic powers and is a Poison/Flying type. Zubat live in caves and hate to fly outside in daylight." The Pokedex says as Brock speaks.
"I wonder what caused the Zubat to act that way?" Brock wonders with Ash wondering the same as he speaks.
"Well let's go take a look" Ash says with Brock nodding as they go to enter the cave Misty speaks.
"Wait are you guys sure this is a good Idea?" Misty asks in a scared tone as Ash speaks.
"We won't force you to come with us if you don't want to Misty, you can just stay here" Ash responds back while looking at the scared girl. After that Ash, Pikachu and Brock enter the cave leaving Misty outside. Misty's by herself, she looks around and hears a lot of noise coming from the bushes and starts to quickly run in the cave as well.
"Hey wait for me!" Misty says she quickly runs into cave and runs straight into Brocks back knocking her on her butt Brock looks at her and speaks.
"Oh, I'm sorry Misty are you okay?" Brock asks as he helps Misty stand back up, she looks at him and speaks.
"Yeah, I'm okay why did you stop?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"Well take a look" Brock responds and shows Misty what he, Ash and Pikachu were looking at her eyes glow wide as Brock speaks.
"The cave has lights all along the walls and even on the top of the cave normally this wouldn't be an issue since the cave usually does have lights to help guide trainers throughout the cave but there's more than usual" Brock says with the two kids nodding as Ash speaks.
"I now see why the Zubat suddenly flew out of the cave" Ash says while getting a serious look on his face as Misty speaks.
"Who could've done this?" Misty questions while also getting as serious look as Brock speaks.
"Well, whoever did it is probably still in this cave somewhere" Brock says with the two kids nodding. The group then hear an ear-piercing scream and the sounds of Pokémon battling the group starts to run in that direction.
After running for 2 minutes, they reach the destination of where the sound was coming from, they see a man who looks like a scientist tightly holding onto his backpack and a weird pink pixie Pokémon is standing next to him holding a stone. In front of them is a Mouse like Pokémon with brown skin and another pink pixie Pokémon protecting the two and they seem to be in bad shape. There's also a Meowth, Ekans and Koffing standing over the man and the Pokémon Ash, Misty and Pikachu's eye's grow wide as they know who these Pokémon belong to.
"Leave them alone Team Rocket!" Ash and Misty yell causing everyone to turn to the two kids. Meowth gets a surprised look on his face and speaks.
"Ah it's you kids and your Pikachu again!" Meowth says in shock, Brock is shocked that there's a talking Meowth but shakes his head and asks.
"Who's Team Rocket?" Brock asks with a confused look on his face as Misty speaks.
"They're criminals that steal and hurt trainers and Pokémon" Misty responds with Brock nodding as he speaks.
"I see so they're bad guys" Brock says as he brings out a Pokeball. At that moment everyone hears two people laughing, they jump out and reveal themselves to be Jessie and James they also say their motto. When their motto is done Ash looks at them and speaks.
"Are you guys behind all these lights?!" Ash asks with anger in his voice as James speaks.
"Of course, we are" James responds as Jessie speaks.
"We're here under our bosses command to steal the Moon Stone that baby Clefairy is holding and the fossils that are in that scientists backpack" Jessie says and points at the scared scientist and Clefairy as Meowth speaks.
"We would've been done already if this other Clefairy and Sandshrew didn't get in our way" Meowth says as he, Ekans and Koffing stare back at the two Pokemon who're panting heavily. James continues to look at the kids and speaks.
"Since you're here we might as well steal your Pokémon as well Koffing use Sludge bomb!" James calls as Koffing fires the poison Sludge at Pikachu Ash quickly makes a command.
"Counter with Thunderbolt!" Ash calls Pikachu jumps off Ash's shoulder and fires the move destroying the Sludge Bomb as Jessie speaks.
"Now's are chance Ekan's use Poison sting on Clefairy and Sandshrew Jessie calls as Ekans fires multiple poison needles at the weakened Sandshrew and Clefairy. Misty quickly pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.
"Oh no you don't Starmie stop that attack with Psychic!" Misty says as she throws Starmie's Pokeball the Star fish Pokémon comes out and is able to easily stop the Poison Sting with Psychic as Misty speaks.
"Brock while me and Ash distract these guys go help the scientist and the Pokémon. Brock?" Misty says as she looks at Brock whose looking at Jessie his face is covered with red and what seems like steam coming out of his ears.
"Your pretty would you like to go on a date with me?" Brock says with hearts in his eyes causing everyone to turn to him having surprised looks on their faces except for Jessie as she has a blush.
"Oh, you're sweet" Jessie says while smiling and putting both of her hands on her cheeks making Brock happy as he speaks.
"So does this mean you'll stop your evil ways and accept my offer on going on a date with me?" Brock asks with a hopeful look in his eyes as Jessie speaks.
"Sorry but not only are you too young you're also not my type and I'm still going to steal your Pokémon" Jessie responds with a wink and smile fully rejecting Brock and crushing his heart he curls into a ball and speaks.
"Why can't I get a girlfriend?" Brock says in a depressed voice. Ash and Pikachu look on in disappointment while Meowth, James, the scientist and even Kofffing have tears in their eyes knowing the feeling of being rejected, Misty walks over to Brock she grabs his ear and screams.
"ARE YOU AN IDIOT DID YOU FORGET THE SITUATION WHERE IN THIS ISN'T THE TIME TO PICK UP GIRLS! NOW GO HELP THE SCIENTIST AND THE POKEMON!" Misty screams letting go of Brocks ear he nods Brock goes to help the scientist up as he and the Pokémon begin to move away from the battle. Brock also sends out a Zubat surprising Ash.
"Wait you're the one that caught a Zubat?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.
"Yep, I had a feeling it would be useful to have so it could help us navigate through the cave" Brock responds having a smile on his face. Ash gets a sad look on his face and speaks.
"Man, I should've caught one as well" Ash says as he sits down and puts his head between his legs, Pikachu walks over to comfort his trainer. This makes Misty angry as she yells.
"DANG IT ASH KETCHUM WHO CARES ABOUT THAT WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE!" Misty screams causing everyone to remember the exact situation they're in as they all get into battle stances. Misty gives a huff and calls for her next command.
"Now then where we're we oh right Starmie use Psychic!" Misty yells as Starmie fires the Psychic waves at Team Rocket holding them in place she then looks at Ash and speaks.
"Now Ash!" Misty yells as Ash gives a nod of approval, he looks at Pikachu and gives it a command.
"Pikachu send them flying with Thunderbolt!" Ash commands Pikachu nods it fires the bolt of electricity at the Trio and their Pokémon causing them to fly deeper into the cave. With Team Rocket gone Ash and Misty go to help Brock with the scientist and the Pokémon they follow Zubat and find a place that leads out of the cave it has a lake the group decides to rest there for the time being unbeknownst to the group Meowth was following them. As they're resting the scientist looks at the 3 kids and speaks.
"Thank you all for saving me and the Pokémon" The scientist says while bowing the Pokémon that are with him bow too as Ash speaks.
"You're welcome and what's your name?" Ash asks curiously as the scientist speaks.
"My name is Seymour I'm a scientist from Cinnabar Island I'm here to research the Clefairy and give trainers who I believe to be worthy fossil Pokémon" Seymour says, while everyone looks on in amazement as Ash speaks.
"Hey Seymour, did you happen to meet a girl named Leaf? She's a friend of mine and was really looking forward to getting a fossil from you?" Ash asks as Seymour speaks.
"Oh yes I did meet her she was a very hyper girl she was a great help with my research on Clefairy, learn more about fossil Pokémon and I could tell she really wanted one. So, I gave one to her, she let out a happy cry then started to dash out of the cave happily" Seymour says with a tired expression.
"Hehehe that's Leaf alright" Ash says and gives a slight chuckle as Brock and Misty speak.
"What fossil did she get?" Brock and Misty ask curiously with Ash interested as well.
"She requested the Sail fossil that comes from the far Kalos region containing the Pokémon Amaura" Seymour responds.
"Amaura?" The 3 trainers question Ash then pulls out his Pokedex so the 3 of them can learn about the mon.
"Amaura the Tundra Pokémon a Rock/Ice type. This ancient Pokémon was restored from part of its body that had been frozen in ice for over 100 million calm Pokémon lived in a cold land where there were no violent predators" The Pokedex says, the group look at the Pokémon's picture as Misty gets hearts in her eyes.
"It's so cute!" Misty squeals happily as Brock speaks.
"It looks like an interesting Pokémon to take care of" Brock says with Ash nodding. Ash then looks at Seymour and speaks.
"So anyway, Seymour how did Team Rocket find you?" Ash asks as Seymour speaks.
"Well like I said earlier this morning as I was doing my research on the Clefairy since I'm very interested in how the evolve with the moon stone, I noticed that the cave was getting brighter than it usually is I went to investigate and saw a very injured baby Clefairy holding a Moon stone. Then I saw Team Rocket they instantly noticed and recognized me I picked up the Clefairy and started to run as fast as I could until I was cornered. I thought it would be the end for me, but this other Clefairy and Sandshrew came to protect me they were fighting off Team Rocket until you kids showed up to help us" Seymour says as the group look at the very beat up Pokémon, Ash scans them with his Pokedex. After that Brock then speaks.
"Hey, let me help you guys out" Brock says but the Pokémon have concerned looks on their faces. Zubat and Pikachu go over to the worried Pokémon and tell them that they can trust Brock with the mons nodding. The 3 of them go over to Brock, he sprays them with some Potions and gives them Oran Berry's. After a few minutes Sanshrew and the two Clefairy's feel a lot better, Ash and Misty are amazed by how talented Brock is at treating Pokémon as he speaks.
"I'm happy you guys feel better here have some of my homemade Pokémon food" Brock places down a bowl for Sandshrew and the 2 Clefairy's all three Pokémon eat the food and love it. Once Sandshrew is done eating it goes to rub its head on Brock's arm allowing Brock to pet it.
"That's amazing Brock!" Ash, Misty and Seymour say as Brock speaks.
"Thanks, you guys my dream is to become the best Pokémon Breeder, so I need to learn how to care for each type of Pokémon" Brock says while smiling he also gives Pikachu and Zubat a bowl of Pokémon food too making them happy as Ash speaks.
"What's a Pokémon Breeder?" Ash asks as Misty speaks.
"It's someone who takes very good care of their Pokémon. They know the type of food, ways to groom and help with any pains a Pokémon may have" Misty responds with Ash nodding he looks back at Brock and speaks.
"That's so cool, Brock" Ash says with stars in his eyes making Brock happy as he speaks.
"Thanks Ash" Brock says. After that Ash and Misty tell Brock and Seymour their dreams Ash says he wants to be a Pokémon master (the older Clefairy gets stars in its eyes at Ash's dream) and Misty announces she wants to be a Water Pokémon Master, Brock and Seymour tell them those are wonderful dreams. As the group continues to relax, they hear a voice.
"There you are" The voice says causing the group to turn around and see Meowth he has a smile on his face and speaks.
"Hand over the professor's backpack, the moon stone along with your Pokémon and nobody will get hurt" Meowth says trying to sound intimidating, but the group doesn't care. Misty pulls out Starmie's Pokeball and speaks.
"Starmie blast that cat away with your water gun please" Misty says as Starmie comes out of the Pokeball fires the move sending Meowth into the sky not to be seen again and the group go back to doing what they were doing before Meowth interrupted them.
It's now nighttime Seymour has invited the gang to join him to watch the Clefairy, Sandshrew is there as well and is close to Brock. They see a giant rock and multiple Clefairy appear and start to place their moon stones next to the big rock the baby Clefairy the group saved does the same with the older one nodding in approval. Misty looks at the area they're in and speaks.
"This is pretty" Misty says looking in awe with everyone else nodding in agreement as Seymour speaks.
"I can't believe it my dream of seeing the Clefairy evolve is finally coming true" Seymour says happily with the group nodding. As the Clefairy are about to begin their show Team Rocket return standing on the giant rock, Ash and his friends were about to go stop them but there's a loud explosion followed by a smoke screen once the smoke clears Team Rocket and the giant rock are gone.
"Those jerks!" Ash says in anger with the older Clefairy from earlier having the same angry expression. Brock pulls out a Pokeball and speaks.
"They can't get away with this! Onix come out and follow Team Rocket! " Brock commands as Onix appears it quickly digs in the ground going after Team Rocket with Sandshrew right behind. Brock, Misty and Seymour quickly go underground to follow the Pokemon Ash is about to go in as well but sees the older Clefairy from earlier having a determined look on its face as Ash speaks.
"You can come as well" Ash says smiling with the pixie Pokémon smiling back and begins to follow Ash. We see Team Rocket riding down the hill on the large rock, they all have smiles on their faces as James speaks.
"We really got them this time" James says as Meowth speaks.
"Hehehehe yeah did you see the looks on their faces" Meowth says while laughing with James laughing too as Jessie speaks.
"We didn't get the fossils, but this giant rock will surely be enough to make the boss happy" Jessie says happily with James and Meowth agreeing. As they continue to slide down the hill suddenly Onix and Sandshrew burst from the ground scaring the rocket trio as they crash into Onix and fall on the ground. The trio groan in pain as they see the kids and Seymour coming out from the hole the trio get angry as Jessie speaks.
"I've had it with you brats go Ekans!" Jessie says in an angry tone James also brings out Koffing. Ash and Brock were about to battle with Pikachu and Onix respectively, but Sandshrew and Clefairy jump in front looking back at the two trainers saying that they want to battle. Ash and Brock nod at the two and start their battle with team rocket.
"Ekans use Poison sting on Clefairy" Jessie calls Ekan's launches the poison needles from its mouth as Ash speaks.
"Dodge Clefairy then use Moonblast!" Ash calls Clefairy dodges the attack, it creates a pink orb of fairy energy and fires it at Ekans. The move hits Ekans causing major damage to the snake. Normally fairy type moves aren't effective on Poison types but it's clear that this Clefairy has a lot of experience. Ash looks at Clefairy and speaks.
"Way to go Clefairy!" Ash cheers, Clefairy looks back at Ash and nods as James speaks.
"Koffing use Poison Gas!" James commands as poison starts to cover the area Brock makes a command.
"Blow that gas away with Rapid Spin then use Brick Break!" Brock commands Sandshrew spins easily blowing away the gas. Sandshrew then shoots forward its right-hand glows white and lands a chop on Koffing's head knocking the Gas Pokémon on the ground. Brock tells Sandshrew good job the ground mouse looks back at Brock and nods. Ash then looks at Brock and speaks.
"Let's end this Brock" Ash says with Brock nodding in agreement as they both give their final commands.
"Clefairy use Moon Blast!" "Sandshrew use Earth Power" Ash and Brock give their commands as the two Pokémon fire the attacks launching Team Rocket high in the sky blasting them off again. Everyone lets out a loud cheer Ash runs over to Clefairy picks it up and speaks.
"Great job Clefairy you were amazing!" Ash says happily he holds the small Pixie Pokémon in the air as it smiles. Brock runs over to Sandshrew he bends down and speaks.
"You did amazing too Sandshrew" Brock says as he pets the small ground mouse Pokémon on its head making Sandshrew happy. The group then take the giant rock (carried by Onix) back to where it was so the Clefairy can begin their show with no interruptions. The group sits down in the same spots they were in earlier they also brought out all their Pokémon so they can watch as well. As the moonlight comes into view the giant rock and the moonstones around it start to glow and the Clefairy begin to dance around the rock in a circle. The group's eyes then grow even wider as they see that some of the Clefairy are evolving into Clefable while the smaller Clefairy's don't evolve showcasing that there not ready yet everyone is amazed at the sight. The show then ends with the clouds covering the moon and everyone clapping their hands as Seymour speaks.
"This is an amazing discovery, so the giant rock is actually a moon stone as well now that I look at it more closely it has signs that are clearly from outer space just like these smaller moon stones." Seymour says excitedly everyone else nods in agreement and so do their Pokémon. After that the group go to sleep, spending the night in Mt. Moon.
It's now the next morning and the group decides it's time to head out but before they go Ash looks at Seymour and speaks.
"You're really staying here Seymour?" Ash asks as Seymour speaks.
"Yes, but only for a little bit longer I still want to study the Clefable, Clefairy and Moon stones a lot more to see if it all connects to outer space, I'll also get rid of those extra lights so the Zubat can sleep peacefully" Seymour responds with the group nodding in understanding. Seymour then remembers something and speaks.
"Oh, before you go, I want to give you 3 fossils I believe you're all worthy and funny enough I only have 3 left Hehehehe" Seymour says with a smile and a chuckle The group thanks Seymour and decide who should pick first.
"How about you Ash" Brock says with Misty nodding in agreement Ash looks at them and speaks.
"Whoa thanks guys" Ash says as he walks over to the fossils and looks at them. As he's looking at them the one that catches his eye the most is the one with the jaw on it.
"I'll go with that one" Ash says pointing to the fossil with a jaw on it Seymour nods and speaks.
"Great choice Ash that's the Jaw fossil like the Sail fossil it's from the Kalos region as well it has the Pokémon called Tyrunt it can be a pretty hard Pokémon to take care of but I'm sure you'll be fine" Seymour says with Ash nodding, Seymour then hands Ash the fossil as Ash speaks.
"Thanks Seymour" Ash says he puts the fossil in his backpack. Misty then looks at Brock and speaks.
"You go next Brock" Misty says with Brock thanking her he walks forward and looks at the two fossils his eyes focus on the one that looks like armor as he speaks.
"I pick that one" Brock says with Seymour nodding, Seymour hands Brock the fossil and begins to explain what it is.
"That's the Armor Fossils it has the Pokémon called Shieldon it's from the Sinnoh region and they're said to have really high defenses" Seymour says Brock thanks him and puts the Fossil in his backpack. Seymour then walks up to Misty and hands her the last fossil.
"This is called the Cover fossil it's from the Unova region and has the Pokémon Tirtouga it's also a water type since your dream is to be a Water Pokémon Master one day I believe this Pokémon fits you best" Seymour says smiling making Misty happy, the girl gets hearts in her eyes and is excited to revive Tirtouga one day she hugs the fossil as Ash speaks.
"By the way, where do we go to revive our fossils? Ash asks with Brock and Misty wondering the same thing as well as Seymour speaks.
"My lab in Cinnabar Island will help you revive your fossils if I'm not there to do it my assistants will be able to safely restore your Pokémon" Seymour responds making the group happy. The group say their goodbyes to Seymour but before they leave, they are stopped by Sandshrew and Clefable.
"What is it guys?" Ash asks as the two mons speak.
"Clef, Clef" "Sand, Sand" both Pokémon say with the group not understanding but Pikachu does, and it begins to explain what the Pokémon are asking as Ash smiles.
"So, you want to come with us?" Ash asks with both mons nodding. Sandshrew goes to Brock and rubs his leg while Clefable walks up to Ash giving him a happy smile Ash and Brock take out empty Pokeball's tapping them on Clefable's and Sandshrew's heads the balls don't shake they instantly ding confirming to both boys that they caught them; they smile and speak.
"I got Sandshrew!" Brock says happily "I got Clefable!" Ash says happily and both boys do a pose causing Misty to get a small chuckle at how silly they're being. 1 hour later after leaving Mt. Moon the gang see a sign that says they've finally reached Cerulean City, Misty during the 1 hour walk there tried her best to make Ash and Brock choose a different city to go to Ash was confused as to why while Brock knowing why decided to not say anything. As they are reading the sign Brock notices something.
"Hey Ash, your name is here" Brock says causing Ash to smile he looks at it and speaks.
"Maybe it's a message from Leaf saying she's going to meet us here" Ash says as he continues to read his face glows red with anger. Misty walks over and reads the message.
"Gary was here Ash is a loser" Misty reads aloud causing Ash to dash off into the city.
"That Gary, I'll show you!" Ash yells, while Pikachu tries to hold on. Brock and Misty shake their heads and quickly run to catch up to Ash. Meanwhile, still at Mt. Moon Jessie, James and Meowth have nervous looks on their faces as James speaks.
"Do we really have to do this?" James asks with worry in his voice as Meowth speaks.
"You know the rules Jimmy we always have to report back to headquarters after a mission whether we succeed or fail" Meowth says with worry in his voice as well as Jessie speaks.
"Let's just get this over with" Jessie says as she begins to dial the number on the device her hand begins to shake on the final number, but she manages to press it. The device rings a few times until they see a man having his head away from them intentionally not wanting to face them, he begins to speak.
"So did you succeed, or did you fail again?" The man asks in a deep voice as James speaks.
"Um… we…. Ah…" James is trying to get the words out but is too scared to say anything this makes the man angry as he yells.
"YOU DARE STUDDER I'M JUST ASKING A SIMPLE QUESTION! DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF!" The man yells in anger and slams his fist on the table causing the trio to sweat profusely as Jessie speaks.
"We…... Failed!" Jessie quickly says also having shakiness in her voice as well the man gives a big sigh.
"I see and how did you fail?" The man asks in a much calmer voice as Meowth speaks next.
"It was that kid and his Pikachu we've told you about before" Meowth responds he continues to sweat as the man speaks.
"Yes, I remember that didn't you tell me that the first time it was a fluke how did he beat you a second time?" The man asks as James speaks.
"Well, this isn't the second time it's the third time he beat us" James says shocking Jessie and Meowth they look back at James in horror in what he just did, James also realized it as well and gets a scared look on his face before he could say anything the man in the screen yells.
"YOU IDIOTS HOW COULD YOU LET A CHILD AND A YELLOW MOUSE BEAT YOU NOT JUST ONCE OR TWICE BUT THREE TIMES?! YOU THREE REALLY ARE THE MOST INCOMPETENT GRUNTS IN THE ORGANIZATION ONCE YOU GET BACK TO BASE, I'M STRIPPING YOU FROM THE ORGANIZATION AND HANDING YOU TO THE POLICE. I'LL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY AND IF YOU SO MUCH AS EVEN SPILL OUR SECRETS TO THE POLICE, I HAVE FRIENDS IN THERE THAT'LL GET RID OF YOU PERMINATLY!" The man yells as the trio start to have tears fall from their eyes.
"No please anything but that please give us one more chance!" The trio says pleadingly as the man speaks.
"Unless you tell me some important information in the next 10 seconds I don't care I'll end the call and you are to come back to TR headquarters at once and give all your belongings back" The man says as Jessie and James continue to try and plea for a second chance and say many things to make the man turn around Meowth begins to think about what he could say that'll make the boss give them a second chance to any other person 10 seconds doesn't seem long but for Meowth whose in a lot of stress begins to work his brain and think/remember anything that'll make the boss interested.
"Come on brain work what can I say that'll make the boss turn around THINK, THINK!" Meowth says to himself he then gets a memory from 5 years ago when Meowth was doing some janitorial work he overheard a conversation between the boss and his executives.
"Man, this Janitorial work is boring I hope I'm able to become an official rocket member soon" Meowth says as he gives a sigh. As Meowth continues to clean he hears a voice.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE DESTROYED ONE OF OUR BASES IN THE HOENN REGION?!" A loud voice screams scaring Meowth, Meowth is supposed to be the only one there today. He looks in the direction the loud voice came from and sees that it came from the boss's room. The door is slightly opened so Meowth peeked in he couldn't see clearly but he knows there were at least 6 other People in the room with the boss.
"I'm sorry to inform sir you that Looker from the international police Riley, Yellow, Lance, Champion of the Hoenn region Steven and Wallace who were led by Red Ketchum found our secret base and destroyed it leaving nothing behind" A woman with glasses says and continues.
"I also have Information that he's going to start looking for our other bases in the Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos regions next" the woman says and ends her report as the boss speaks.
"Red Ketchum if only I killed him 10 years ago on that day when we tried to get my son back, him and his friends wouldn't continue to be a thorn in my side one of these days, I'll capture that man and make sure to end his life with my own hands" The man says clinching his fist with everyone else in the room doing the same. Meanwhile, outside the door Meowth speaks.
"I should probably get out of here before they see me" Meowth says and quickly runs away making sure he's not noticed.
Back to present time Meowth remembers yesterday that the red-haired girl called that boy Ketchum everything starts to click in Meowths head and thinks he's found the answer it's a gamble, but he'll have to take it. He comes out of his thoughts and starts to hear Jesse and James crying and screaming as the boss counts down.
"5… 4…. 3…. 2… 1…" The man says slowly while enjoying the mental torture he's giving to Jessie and James as they continue to scream before the man can say zero Meowth screams with all his might.
"HIS NAME!" Meowth screams so loud that Jessie and James stop and look at him and the boss stops as well and asks a question.
"What's his name?" The man asks curiously as Meowth continues.
"THAT KIDS NAME IS ASH KETCHUM THE SON OF RED KETCHUM!" Meowth says still yelling with tears coming out of his eyes hoping he got the boss interested. The man turns around and looks at Jessie, James and Meowth he smirks and speaks.
"Tell me more" The man asks with interest in his eyes the trio give a sigh of relief knowing this is the chance they've been waiting for Jessie and James can't speak right now their throats are sore from all the yelling they did they look at Meowth and hope he knows what he's doing as Meowth begins to speak.
"We know he just started his journey not too long ago, lives in Pallet Town and is taking on the gyms that's all we know so far" Meowth finishes he gives a few huffs and hopes that's enough. He, Jessie and James at their boss they see him smile as he begins to laugh.
"Hahahahahahaha This is great Hahahahaha" The man starts laughing making the trio even more scared they've never seen their boss laugh before the man stops laughing and speaks.
"You three just saved yourselves congratulations" the man says in a cheerful tone and claps his hands. He then gets a serious look on his face making the trio get serious as well as Giovanni speaks.
"Here's what I want you 3 to do I want you 3 to continue following that boy but you are not to have any interaction with him or anyone that's associated with him make sure you stay hidden and keep tabs on him whether it's the number of gym badges, Pokémon he catches anything I want to know everything about him of course I'll give you 3 some other missions so you're not just following him 24/7 and assign a different team to keep track of him. Also, if you see him run into any other TR members don't help them, I want you to take notes on how he's able to bring down are other members this is a very important mission that I'm entrusting to you three the only ones that'll know will be me and a few top members in the organization this is your last chance to redeem yourselves don't screw it up your mission starts now" The man says coldly the trio give a salute in understanding as the man turns off his communication with the trio.
The trio fall on their knees exhausted that was the most scared they've ever been. They look at each other and give each other a big hug, happy that they all survived. They then quickly break out of the hug and look at each other seriously. They hop into their hot air balloon and start their mission to keep tabs on Ash. We now go to the room where the man the trio was talking with is, he has a smile on his face he presses a button on the intercom and speaks.
"Matori come to my office" He says and just as soon as he said that a woman with purple hair, glasses and wearing a secretary suit walks in the office.
"Yes, Giovanni sir?" The woman asks addressing the man by name, Giovanni looks at her and speaks.
"How's project Mewtwo coming along that man Red Ketchum hasn't found it correct?" Giovanni asks giving Matori a serious look the woman doesn't back away and speaks.
"Project Mewtwo has been going smoothly we haven't heard anything about Red Ketchum since he destroyed all of our bases in Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar and Paldea 2 years ago only leaving Johto as the only region to have most of our secret bases still intact and we currently have no ideas of his whereabouts the executives and my Matori matrix have been trying tirelessly to find him these past 10 years sir" Matori responds.
"Are our other plans in Kanto going smoothly as well?" Giovanni asks looking at Matori as the woman speaks.
"Yes, they have sir" Matori responds with Giovanni nodding as he speaks.
"I see in that case I'm now ending the search for Red Ketchum something more interesting has caught my eye" Giovanni states shocking Matori as she speaks.
"Sir if I may ask what's more interesting than Red Ketchum? he's been our priority for the past 10 years" Matori asks as Giovanni speaks and begins to slowly walk to Matori.
"Matori did you know that 10 years ago that Red and Delia Ketchum had a son named Ash Ketchum in Pallet Town?" The man speaks shocking Matori again Giovanni then circles around her making Matori feeling a little scared as she speaks.
"No, I didn't know sir" Matori responds with Giovanni nodding as he continues to speak.
"I see I didn't either for the past 10 years since we've begun searching for Red his son got to grow up carefree not knowing who we are do you know why?" Giovanni asks Matori as he stops walking around her and stands in front of her waiting for her responds.
"N... O" Matori says while stuttering Giovanni notices and smirks he begins to walk closer to the woman forcing Matori to walk backwards as Giovanni speaks.
"Matori why are you backing away from me? We've known each other since we were kids am I that terrifying now?" Giovanni asks in a mocking tone as he continues to walk towards her while Matori continues to back away and speaks.
"No, I'm not scared" Matori says trying to save face as Giovanni speaks.
"Come on Matori don't lie to me you know I don't like liars" Giovanni says coldly making Matori sweat as she speaks.
"I'm not scared I just need some space that's all" Matori says she continues to walk backwards until she walks back into a wall having nowhere else to go, she begins to hyperventilate as Giovanni walks closer to her.
"Tch, Tch, Tch see Matori if you weren't so stubborn and admitted your fear of me you wouldn't be having your back against the wall with nowhere else to go" Giovanni says as he finally closes the gap between them, Matori drops her clipboard and tries to look at Giovanni in the eyes proving she's not scared Giovanni sees this grabs her face making sure Matori gets a real close up view of his face and looking straight in his eyes.
"You know Matori this stubborn attitude of yours is one of the reasons as to why I like you and trust you so much why are you lying when you say you're not scared of me?" Giovanni asks while looking deeply into the completely scared eyes of Matori as he speaks.
"Now I'm going to ask you one more time and I want to hear the right answer are… you… scared… of…. me?" Giovanni says slowly. Matori's lips begin to quiver as she speaks.
"I'm scared" Matori whispers as Giovanni speaks.
"Can you speak up I couldn't quite hear you" Giovanni asks and Matori starts to raise her voice.
"I'm scared" she says a little louder as Giovanni speaks.
"Louder!" Giovanni commands still holding Matori's face.
"I'm Scared!" Matori yells as loud as she can with Giovanni still holding her face as he yells.
"LOUDER!" Giovanni yells and let's go of Matori's face allowing her to scream with all her might.
"I'M SCARED!" Matori screams so loud that even some of the grunts can hear her she then collapses on the floor with tears in her eyes, gives a few huffs and looks up at Giovanni. Giovanni looks at the completely broken Matori and is satisfied.
"Good as you should be" Giovanni says as he walks away and sits down in his chair and watches Matori struggle to stand up as she begins to think.
"What's going on he's never treated me like this before I've known him for most of my life and seen him do very evil things, but this is the first time I've ever been scared of Giovanni" Matori thinks to herself as she finally gets on her feet and asks her next question.
"What are your plans Giovanni sir?" Matori asks while shaking, Giovanni smirks a begins to talk.
"Call all the executives from whatever missions they're doing this mission is top priority it's a new project I just came up with and the best way for us to finally be rid of Red Ketchum" Giovanni responds, Matori hearing that gets a small smile and goes back to how she was when she first came in the office.
"What's the name of the project? sir" Matori asks curiously, Giovanni notices Matori going back to her usual self he smiles and begins to speak.
"There's one weakness that Red has that we've overlooked and that is his love for his family we've been focusing all of our resources on finding him that we never considered going after his family so the one we'll be going after is his son Ash Ketchum once we have him Red will come crawling back to us in order to save his son and when that happens we'll be ready" Giovanni responds with Matori nodding as he continues to speak.
"You asked me what the name of this Project is well hears its name Its call Project Ash Ketchum" Giovanni announces and begins to laugh evilly while Matori gets an evil smile she then walks out of Giovanni's room to begin calling the executives.
"Just you wait Red Ketchum soon very soon I'll have my revenge on you and once I'm done with you, I'll finally go find and reunite the son you and Delia took from me once I find him together me and Silver will take over the world!" Giovanni then begins to laugh evilly.
Meanwhile somewhere deep in the Crown Tundra of Galar we see a man sporting a red cap and vest as he looks in the sky alongside his Charizard. As they're looking at the sky someone speaks.
"What's wrong Master Red?" A man with a sports cap and a cape that has a lot of logos on it asks, beside him is a woman with long blonde hair wearing all black, beside her is an old man with long grey eyebrows wearing a black and teal green jacket and hat and beside him is a tan man who looks like a professor with his lab coat open they all look to him in worry as Red speaks.
"I don't know Leon I just have a bad feeling that something bad is going to happen in Kanto later this year and it involves my son" Red responds with the 4 adults nodding as the old man speaks.
"Do you think it involves Giovanni?" The old man questions as Red speaks.
"It's possible but it doesn't seem like it'll be happening for a while" Red responds as the blonde-haired woman speaks.
"When the time comes, we can assist you" The blonde woman says as the man in the lab coat speaks.
"Yeah, you've helped us out many times already it's only fair that we return the favor" The man in the lab coat says making Red smile as he speaks.
"Thanks Cynthia and Kukui whenever that time does happen, I'll be sure to contact you guys" Red says looking back at them having a smile on his face with the others smiling too as Leon speaks.
"You know thinking about it I think this is the first time we've heard Master Red talk so much in a while" Leon says as Cynthia speaks.
"Hehehe Your right whenever Master talks about his family he just never stops" Cynthia says while giving a light chuckle as Kukui speaks.
"Hahahaha, I know how master feels I do the same thing with Lillie she may not be my or Burnet's biological daughter but I'm always happy talking about her" Kukui says while laughing with Leon and Cynthia nodding as Red speaks.
"Geez you guys' love teasing me whenever you get the chance" Red says while looking at the 3 in an annoyed look, the three trainers look at Red then look at each other and begin laughing again. Red has steam come out of his head in anger, the old man lets out a sigh and speaks.
"Kids these days" the old man says as he continues to speak.
"Other than that bad feeling and making fun of Red aside are you guys ready to begin the mission?" The old man asks while having a serious look on his face the others get serious too as Red speaks.
"Your right Mustard, Looker's information was right it took us 2 years, but we finally found it the last secret team rocket base in Galar I'm not sure how we didn't see this before but now that we've found it it's time to get rid of it everyone get ready!" Red yells as the other trainers send out their Pokémon, Leon brings out his own Charizard but it's a different color from Reds instead of orange it's black with red wings, Cynthia brings out a purple land shark like Pokémon, Kukui sends out a large fire cat Pokémon wearing a wrestlers belt that's made of fire and Mustard rips off his jacket and hat underneath is a yellow shirt, one part of his hair is covered in red and sends out two big bear like Pokémon taking Martial Arts poses.
"Let's go!" Red yells as he and the other humans and their Pokémon head into the base and the sound of fighting begins. As they're fighting multiple Team Rocket grunts/admins Red begins to think.
"Ash, I hope you stay safe" Red thinks to himself as his Charizard defeats 10 Pokémon at once. We now cut back to Ash, Misty and Brock who've finally made it to Cerulean City Ash smiles and speaks.
"Finally, we made it!" Ash yells as he raises his arms in the air.
"Yep, we're finally here" Brock says.
"Pika" Pikachu says happily as Misty speaks.
"Yay…." Misty says unenthusiastically, Ash looks at her he gets annoyed look and speaks.
"Okay Misty it's time for you to spill the Poke beans why don't you like Cerulean City?!" Ash asks in a stern voice. Misty looks at Brock for help, but he nods his head no its time she tells Ash he has a right to know.
"Sigh..." Misty lets out a sigh as she speaks.
"Fine I've been traveling with you for almost a couple weeks you have the right to know" Misty says with Ash nodding.
"Okay go on" Ash says waiting for Misty to speak.
"Ash I'm the Ceru" Misty was about to tell Ash, but she quickly spots a girl with blonde hair in her late teens to early 20's walking behind Ash and Brock Misty immediately runs away in the other direction leaving Brock and Ash confused as Ash speaks.
"I guess this place must hold some bad memories for her since she ran away. What do you think Brock?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.
"I guess so" Brock responds with a confused look on his face. The two boys then begin to walk in the direction of the gym. Meanwhile with Misty, we see her hiding behind a building and is panting very heavily.
"Darn why did my sister have to show up just when I was going to tell Ash I was one of the Cerulean City gym leaders" Misty says to herself as she controls her breathing and goes to find Ash and Brock. Ash and Brock have been walking for 10 minutes they can see the gym in front of them Ash is excited while something catches Brock's eye, he sees an Officer Jenny and gets a very goofy look on his face. Brock then looks at Ash and speaks.
"Hey Ash, I'm unfortunately going to have to miss your gym battle I've some stuff to do" Brock says. This makes Ash confused as he speaks.
"Really what kind of stuff?" Ash questions.
"Just stuff" Brock responds and quickly dashes off in the opposite direction Ash then looks at Pikachu and speaks.
"Geez Pikachu our friends really left us" Ash says with Pikachu nodding. Ash and Pikachu make it to the gym but notice the large line they assume that everyone there are challengers Ash gets in line and after 5 minutes he enters a room and finds his seat with crowd roaring excitedly.
"Whoa all these Pokémon trainers are here for a gym battle? the gym leader must be very strong to take on this many trainers" Ash says but the guy next to Ash tells him that these People aren't here for a gym battle they're here to watch the sensational sisters do their water ballet show. This shocks Ash as he speaks.
"Their water what?!" Ash asks but as soon as he did the show begins and outcome three pretty girls. One with blonde hair, one with pink hair and one with blue hair the girl's wave as everyone (except Ash) is excited to watch the show. While watching Ash is angry throughout the whole thing but his anger would stop as soon as he saw Pokémon he didn't know and scans them with his Pokedex he scans a Goldeen, Seaking, Seel, Dewgong, Staryu, Slowpoke, Slowbro and finally a Vaporeon that made the entire room and even Ash cheer.
After the show is over Ash starts walking around the gym and sees all the water Pokémon swimming around in tanks some are native to Kanto while others are native to other regions, he would like to get to know the new Pokémon but he's here for a gym battle and he'll probably see those other Pokémon sometime in his journey later anyway. Ash finally makes it into the room where the 3 gym leaders are the girls turn around and see Ash. Misty who's in the gym spots Ash she decides to secretly follow him she sees him go into a room where the other 3 girls are and starts to listen as the blonde girl speaks.
"Um are you like lost or something?" The blonde girl asks as Ash speaks.
"No, my name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town and I've come to challenge you three for a gym battle" Ash says with determination in his voice. Once they hear that the three sisters begin to groan tiredly, making Ash confused as the blue-haired girl speaks.
"You see Ash during the past 2 weeks we've been battling trainers nonstop" The blue haired girl says as the pink haired girl speaks.
"Yeah, there was this kid named Damian, the grandson of Prof. Oak and son of Champion Blue Gary with his annoying cheerleaders, a scary looking guy named Paul and a very hyper girl named Leaf who was way too much energy for us and asking us all sorts of questions on water types it was exhausting" The Pink haired girl states while rubbing her head from the memory as the blonde-haired girl speaks.
"All those trainers defeated us pretty easily not only making us but our Pokémon extremely tired, so we've decided that we're going to make the Cerulean gym into a place for just water ballet shows." The blonde-haired girl says surprising Ash and Misty (who's still hiding) Misty then loses her surprised expression and is now fuming in anger as Ash speaks.
"Man, that sucks I was really looking forward to getting my gym badge today" Ash says in disappointment as the blonde-haired girl speaks.
"Oh, like don't worry we'll still hand out badges we just won't be battling so here you go kid this is the Cascade badge since you've come all this way and watched our show you can take it" The blonde-haired girl says with a smile. Ash thinks it over its true he came all this way and deserves the badge but at the same time his other rivals battled and earned the badge proving how skilled they are Ash stops thinking and gives his answer.
"Sorry but just taking the badge wouldn't feel right to me the other trainers you mentioned earned theirs so I might as well try to earn mine, I'm going to decline taking the Cascade Badge until I'm able to battle someone for it" Ash responds with Pikachu nodding and Misty smiling happily that Ash came to that conclusion all on his own as she speaks.
"He really is impressive" Misty thinks to herself and blushes a little. But Misty knows that after saying that her sisters still aren't going to battle him, she knows what she must do and starts to run where Ash and her sisters are.
"I see like that sucks I really do feel bad not being able to battle you" The blonde hair girl says with a sigh as the blue-haired girl speaks.
"If only our little sister was here, she would gladly give you a battle I hope she's doing okay she hasn't contacted us since she left" The blue haired girl says with worry in her voice while the pink haired girl rolls her eyes and scoffs.
"Little sister?" Ash questions as the pink-haired girl speaks.
"Yeah about 3 weeks ago she ran away to begin her Pokémon journey to become a water Pokémon master you've might've seen her already her name is Mis" Before the Pink haired girl finishes everyone hears a yell, they turn around to see who it is and see Misty with an angry look on her face.
"MISTY!" All the humans say with shocked expressions while Pikachu gives a happy "Pika" seeing the red-haired girl again. The pink haired girl then speaks.
"Whoa your back already you were only on your journey for 3 weeks I guess it was too hard for you" The pink haired girl says in a mocking tone as the blue haired girl speaks.
"Hmmm hey where's your bike? don't tell me you lost it after I helped you pay for it." The blue haired girl says with an annoyed look as the blonde-haired girl speaks.
"Like didn't you say you wouldn't be coming back until you became a Water Pokémon Master?" The blonde girl asks as Misty speaks.
"Well to answer Lilly's question (the girl with pink hair) I'm still continuing my journey it's not hard at all, then for Violet (the blue haired girl), the reason as to why I don't have my bike is because he destroyed it and I'm making sure he'll pay me back" Misty says while pointing at Ash Violet looks at the boy who's currently face palming. Misty then looks at the blonde-haired girl.
"As for your question Daisy my dream is still to become a Water Pokémon Master, but Ash insisted on coming here for his next battle I had no choice but to follow him" Misty finishes and gives a few huffs as Violet speaks.
"Well then let me be the first to welcome you home" Violet says as she gives Misty a hug with Misty returning it, Lilly then speaks.
"So let me get this straight after making such a fuss about starting your journey you leave, don't even contact us you meet this boy and have been following him ever since he destroyed your bike and in turn forcing you to come back is he perhaps your boyfriend?" Lilly asks with a smug look while Daisy laughs.
"Hahahahaha oh, please Lilly don't joke you and me both know that Misty isn't as pretty as us to have boys falling for her" Daisy says with Lilly nodding as both girls begin to laugh while Misty looks at them with anger in her eyes and blushing profusely. Violet looks at Lilly and Daisy then speaks.
"You two always love to pick on Misty she's finally come back after 3 weeks you should at least welcome her home" Violet says while glaring at the laughing Lilly and Daisy, Misty looks up at Violet and is happy she stood up for her. Ever since they were kids Violet would always stand up for Misty whenever Lilly and Daisy made fun of her making Violet Misty's favorite and the one, she looks up to the most. In Misty's mind Violet's at the top, Daisy's second and Lilly's at the very bottom Lilly would always be mean or pick on her though there were times the two did get along with each other. Lilly then looks at Violet and speaks.
"Come on Vi you have to admit it would be very funny to see Misty with a boyfriend and acting all girly" Lilly responds while still laughing.
"Will now that I think about it, it would be pretty interesting to see Misty act all girly and not like a tom boy" Violet says not surprising Misty even though Violet would stick up for Misty Violet would sometimes join in on the teasing Misty breaks away from Violet's hug and gives her sisters a serious look with her sisters doing the same knowing what she's going to say next while Ash and Pikachu are in the middle looking back and forth scared.
"I heard you guys tell Ash that you're going to make the gym into a water ballet are you really serious you lose a few battles and give up?!" Misty asks with a hint of anger as Daisy speaks.
"Like it's not just that simple Misty after you left the 3 of us spent many hours and days discussing it among ourselves and we just came to the conclusion that we're just tired of battling" Daisy responds with Lilly nodding surprising Misty. Misty looks over at Violet and speaks.
"Even you Violet? I can understand Lilly and Daisy, but you love battling the most out of all four of us" Misty asks as Violet speaks.
"Yes, Misty even though I love battles I've been feeling that my passion for them has slowly been dying down these past 3 years I noticed it even more when that Paul kid defeated all three of my Pokémon with his Turtwig and called me a pathetic gym leader and told me my Pokémon were weak" Violet says in a sad tone as tears start to form from her eyes Lilly and Daisy notice and go to comfort Violet, Ash clinches his fist in anger with Pikachu sparking its cheeks they both think the next time they see Paul they'll prove him wrong. Misty's also mad that Paul would say something like that to her sister as she speaks.
"But even still Mom and Dad entrusted us with taking care of the gym don't you guys remember?" Misty asks. Lilly instantly lets go of Violet, she looks at Misty, has an angry look on her face and yells.
"HOW DARE YOU BRING UP MOM AND DAD, YOU BARELY KNEW THEM!" Lilly yells causing everyone to look at her Misty forgot that the topic of her parents is a very touchy subject for the girls, especially Lilly out of all the sisters she was really close to their parents. Misty then continues to speak.
"It's true I barely knew them since they passed when I was 3 years old but even still, I love them just as much as you guys even though you're my sisters I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU DESTROY THEIR DREAM OF MAKING THE CERULEAN GYM THE STRONGEST WATER TYPE GYM IN THE WORLD!" Misty yells back shocking Ash, Pikachu, Daisy and Violet Lilly is surprised as well but then gets even more angry and gets to close Misty's face.
"You little brat did you forget who was the one that got our parents killed when we all went to get Vanillish Ice cream? who was the one that decided it would be a good idea to leave and walk in the middle of a busy street?!" Lilly asks with Misty, Violet and Daisy having sad looks on their faces while Ash and Pikachu quietly listen.
"Who was the girl? Lilly asks again with her voice slightly raising in anger. Misty gets a sad look on her face as she speaks.
"It was me" Misty says looking down on the ground with tears starting to form. Lilly gets angrier and lets out a loud yell.
"THAT'S RIGHT IT WAS YOU! YOU WHERE THE STUPID GIRL WHO COULDN'T SIT STILL AND FOR SOME REASON THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO WALK IN A BUSY STREET WHEN OUR PARENTS NOTICED THEY RUSHED IN AND DAD THREW YOU BACK TO US WITH ALL HIS MIGHT BUT AT THE SAME MOMENT MOM AND DAD WERE HIT BY A TRUCK AND DIED IN THAT MOMENT! A DAY THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN JOYFUL TURNED INTO THE WORST DAY EVER ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!" Lilly yells in anger with her siblings crying as well remembering the memory as Lilly continues.
"WHY DID MOM AND DAD HAVE TO DIE?! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO WALK INTO THE STREET?! WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL US FOR 3 WEEKS AFTER YOU LEFT ON YOUR JOURNEY?! I KNOW WE TEASE YOU SOMETIMES BUT AFTER TAKING CARE OF YOU ALL THIS TIME DID, WE DO SOMETHING WRONG THAT WOULD MAKE YOU NOT WANT TO CALL US?! WE LOVE YOU MISTY SO WHY MISTY WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL!?" Lilly yells she lifts her fist in the air getting ready to punch Misty but as the punch connects it wasn't a hard punch it was a soft tap on Misty's shoulder Lilly then grabs onto Misty's shoulders and begins to cry finally letting out all the anger and frustration, she's been building up all these years towards her sister Misty doesn't say anything she wraps Lilly in a warm embrace and begins to rub Lilly's head letting Lilly cry out.
After 2 minutes Lilly finally stops crying and looks up at Misty in her eyes.
"I'm sorry if I treated you badly during these past 7 years I just didn't know where to let my anger out and you were an easy target Misty can you forgive me?" Lilly asks looking at Misty, as Misty smiles.
"Of course, I forgive you, you're my sister even though I got annoyed whenever you, Daisy or Violet teased me, and even though we have our fights I know you 3 love me and I love you all too" Misty's says with a warm smile Lilly begins to have tears in her eyes she hugs Misty again with Daisy and Violet joining them as well. Meanwhile Ash and Pikachu have a confused but also happy look on their faces.
"I'm not sure what's going on but I'm happy they made up" Ash says while looking at Pikachu and the yellow mouse nods in agreement. Misty looks up at Ash, she breaks out of her sister's hug she walks to the boy and speaks.
"So, you ready for your gym battle?! I'm not going to go easy on you and I hope you don't go easy on me either after hearing about my past" Misty asks having a confident look on her face as Ash speaks.
"Are you sure Misty?" Ash asks with Misty nodding as she speaks.
"I'm sure and besides I feel once my sisters watch our battle it'll ignite their passion for battle again so you ready Ash?!" Misty asks again Ash looks at Pikachu the yellow mouse sparks its cheeks ready to battle Ash nods, he smiles and looks at Misty.
"You're on Misty let's not hold anything back!" Ash says while raising his fist and giving Misty a determined look. Misty nods then speaks.
"Let's do it! Will begin the battle in 10 minutes that'll give you enough time for you and me to strategize and I hope you make it a good one Ash" Misty says giving Ash a thumbs up making Ash smile as he speaks.
"Sounds good to me Misty" Ash says returning the thumbs up as Daisy speaks.
"Geez get a room you two Hehehe" Daisy says with a giggle as Ash and Misty blush in embarrassment.
10 minutes later both trainers stand on their sides of the battlefield, it's a water field with a few standing platforms for non-water Pokémon to stand on Daisy stands in the middle acting as the referee. Lilly and Violet are in the stands watching the battle.
"This is a gym battle between Misty the gym leader and the challenger Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. Only the challenger is allowed to make substitutions now please both trainers send out your first Pokémon" Daisy says as Ash speaks.
"Ladies first" Ash says gesturing for Misty to bring out her first Pokémon causing the red head to giggle as she sends out her first Pokémon.
"Go Starmie!" Misty calls surprising Ash he wasn't expecting Starmie to come out so soon he was sure Misty would've saved it for last, but this excites Ash even more as he loves a good challenge.
"Butterfree I choose you!" Ash calls as he sends out the flying bug Butterfree is excited to battle again even though it's against a Pokémon that was cheering for it in its battle with TR Butterfree will make sure to win this battle for Ash.
"Butterfree vs Starmie battle begin!" Daisy states raising both her arms, as soon as the battle starts Ash and Misty yell out their commands.
"Use Psychic!" Both trainers yell at the same time Butterfree and Starmie fire Psychic waves at each other the moves collide with Starmie's winning the exchange and pushing Butterfree back as Ash speaks.
"It's okay Butterfree use Sleep Powder!" Ash calls Butterfree releases the sleepy powder on Starmie the star fish struggles to stay awake as Misty speaks.
"Sorry Ash that won't work Starmie jump in the water to get rid of the Sleep Powder!" Misty commands surprising Ash as Starmie jumps into the water getting rid of the sleep powder.
"Now use Rapid Spin!" Misty calls Starmie quickly shoots out of the water hitting Butterfree and diving back into the water Ash then speaks.
"Butterfree use Signal beam in the direction Starmie came from!" Ash commands Butterfree quickly fires the move as Misty smiles and calls her next attack.
"Use Thunderbolt!" Misty calls surprising Ash as he didn't know Starmie could learn that move, Starmie fires the bolt of electricity opposite to where Butterfree fired the Signal Beam Starmie's attack lands as Butterfree begins to cry out in pain Starmie then goes back to hide underwater while Ash grits his teeth and looks at the very confident Misty.
"Man, I knew Misty is a good battler, but I didn't know she was this good she's really proving why she's one of the gym leaders. Now how do I attack Starmie as it hides in the water?" Ash says to himself as he begins to think, a few seconds later he gets an idea and smiles. Misty and her sisters notice Ash's expression change since Misty has been traveling with Ash, she knows he'll come up with some crazy idea that no one would think about Ash then speaks.
"Butterfree dive into the water!" Ash commands as the bug dives into the water going after Starmie shocking Misty and her sisters. Ash then calls for his next move.
"Now use Bug Buzz in the water!" Ash calls with Butterfree nodding it sends out bug energy waves inside the pool turning it green while Starmie's swimming in the pool it gets hit by the energy waves all over its body causing super effective damage and causing its special defense to fall. Misty gets a concerned look on her face and quickly makes a command.
"Starmie get out of the pool!" Misty commands Starmie immediately jumps out of the pool getting a safe distance away from the water. Starmie then begins to spark its body as Misty speaks.
"Now use Thunderbolt on the pool!" Misty commands Starmie shoots the bolt of electricity towards the pool as Ash quickly counters.
"Butterfree quick fly out of the pool and counter with Signal Beam!" Ash says as the butterfly immediately flies out and shoots out a beam of bug energy colliding with the Thunderbolt the two beams struggle for a little bit, but Butterfree's Signal Beam wins the exchange with Starmie's Thunderbolt the Signal Beam hits Starmie the causing super effective damage. Starmie cries out in pain as it falls back in the water, a couple seconds later Starmie floats back up completely unconscious as Daisy speaks.
"Starmie's unable to battle Butterfree's the winner" Daisy calls allowing for Ash and Butterfree cheer, Misty calls back her Starmie and tells it good job and take a nice rest, Misty takes out her second Pokeball and throws it.
"Seel, I choose you!" Misty says as a white baby sea lion Pokémon with its tongue hanging out appears. Ash looks at it and speaks.
"A Seel huh Butterfree is tired I'll return it for now" Ash thinks to himself and returns the bug Pokémon grabs his next Pokeball and throws it forward.
"Magikarp I choose you!" Ash says as the red fish appears and happily splashes in the water causing Violet and Lilly to give a chuckle and call it cute.
"Magikarp vs Seel battle Begin!" Daisy calls Misty quickly makes the first move.
"Seel use Aqua jet!" Misty calls Seel covers its body in water and shoots forward instantly hitting Magikarp. Magikarp is sent flying back as it hits one of the land platforms.
"Karp" Magikarp says in pain it then gets a serious look on its face ready to battle as Ash speaks.
"Use Tackle!" Ash calls Magikarp quickly swims forward and hits Seel making the white sea lion groan in pain. Seel's a little surprised at how strong Magikarp is but grabs the fish Pokémon with its flippers as Misty speaks.
"Now use Ice Beam!" Misty calls Ash and Magikarp's eyes grow wide in horror as Seel fires the icy beam at Magikarp's face and successfully freezes the fish. Seel let's go of the frozen fish as it floats down to the bottom of the pool. Ash begins to frantically call out to Magikarp calling out all of its moves hoping to see if Magikarp will by some miracle respond and break out of the ice unfortunately after 10 seconds pass Magikarp is still laying on the bottom of the pool frozen. Ash has a sad look on his face and brings out Magikarp's Pokeball. Daisy's about to call the match in Seel's favor but stops when she hears something.
Everyone looks at the frozen fish they can faintly hear Magikarp yelling and hear the ice that's frozen it starting to crack. Ash and Pikachu smile and begin cheering for Magikarp to break out of the ice. Daisy, Lilly and Violet are cheering for Magikarp too in their heads praying for the fish to break out. Misty looks on in annoyance and wonders.
"This this ridiculous just how tough is this Magikarp?!" Misty says in her mind as soon as she says that Magikarp fully breaks out of the ice quickly swims to Seel and slamming its head into Seel's abdomen so hard it knocks the wind out of it. Both Pokémon fly out of the pool flying high into the air Magikarp isn't done with Seel, yet it glows a shinning blue charging up a bounce once it finishes charging Magikarp smacks Seel in the face with its tail as hard as it can sending the Sea Lion Pokémon down crashing into one of the landing platforms destroying it. A few seconds later Seel floats back up unconscious as Daisy speaks.
"Seel's unable to battle Magickarp's the winner!" Daisy says enthusiastically as Violet and Lilly give a loud cheer too. Misty gets annoyed at them but sighs and returns Seel and tells it thank you. Magikarp swims back to Ash splashing up and down at its win Ash picks up the fish from water holding in the air telling the fish it did great with Pikachu giving it the peace sign. Ash's smile quickly goes away once he notices Magikarp is unconscious and can't battle anymore he and Pikachu are sad but understand it must've taken a lot of energy for Magikarp to break out of the ice and land those two attacks he returns the fish to its Pokeball and calls out to Daisy telling her that Magikarp is unable to battle. Daisy nods and announces Magikarp is unable to battle Daisy, Lilly and Violet are sad since they really wanted to see Magikarp battle more.
Misty lets out a sigh of relief she's happy that Magikarp can't battle but is also hoping it gets a good rest as she brings out her last Pokémon.
"Vaporeon, I choose you!" Misty says and out comes a blue fox-like Pokémon that lands on the water platform ready to battle as Misty speaks.
"My parents gave me this Vaporeon when it was an Eevee on my second birthday we've grown together and trained together when we were young it's a very strong Pokémon" Misty says while having a confident smile Vaporeon gets into a battle stance as Ash speaks.
"If that's true, why didn't you have it with you when I met you?" Ash asks as Misty speaks.
"You see I was in such a rush to leave home that I forgot to grab Vaporeon's Pokeball hehehe" Misty responds while giving a chuckle and rubbing the back of her head as Ash smiles.
"Heh, I guess that makes us similar Misty I was late to get my first Pokémon the day I started my journey I ran out of the house in my pajamas hehehe" Ash says giving a chuckle as Misty does the same Ash then brings out his next Pokémon.
"Butterfree I choose you!" Ash calls as the flying bug comes out ready to battle but it still feels the pain of its battle with Starmie earlier as Daisy speaks.
"Butterfree vs Vaporeon battle begin!" Daisy announces as Ash makes the first move.
"Butterfree use Psychic!" Ash calls Butterfree fires the psychic waves at Vaporeon as Misty speaks.
"Vaporeon dive into the water and camouflage yourself!" Misty calls the blue fox quickly goes into the water to hide itself as Ash speaks.
"In that case Butterfree dive into the water and use Bug Buzz!" Ash calls for the same strategy, but Misty was expecting that as she calls for a command.
"Use Quick Attack!" Misty calls as Vaporeon quickly shoots out from the water and hits Butterfree in the chest. Butterfree coughs in pain as Misty speaks.
"Now use Aurora Beam!" Misty calls Vaporeon fires a rainbow-colored beam at Butterfree the attack lands and sends Butterfree crashing onto one of the land platforms and is knocked out as Daisy speaks.
"Butterfree is unable to battle Vaporeon is the winner!" Daisy calls allowing for Misty and Vaporeon cheer, Ash returns Butterfree tells it good job and begins to think on who he should use next.
"Pidgeotto can fly in the air and go first with Tailwind, but Misty knows that strategy I could also use Pikachu but I'm confident Misty knows how to counter him I need to use a Pokémon Misty doesn't know much about so that gives me one option" Ash thinks to himself and takes out a Pokeball he looks at Pikachu telling him sorry Pikachu nods in understanding as it didn't want to battle Misty anyway but would've if Ash picked him. Misty looks over at Ash and speaks.
"Oh, you're not using Pikachu?" Misty asks as Ash speaks.
"Nope I'm pretty confident you've thought of a way to counter both Pikachu and Pidgeotto so I'm going to use a Pokémon that neither you nor I know much about" Ash responds with Misty knowing who'll he'll send in next as Ash gets ready.
"I just caught you recently, but I know you can help me win Clefable I choose you!" Ash says as he throws the Pokeball and out comes the big pink pixie Pokémon landing on one of the land platforms ready to battle. Clefable looks at Vaporeon and gets in a battle stance with Vaporeon doing the same as Daisy speaks.
"Let the final battle between Clefable and Vaporeon battle begin!" Daisy calls as Misty makes the first move.
"Vaporeon use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls Vaporeon takes a deep breath shoots out a big stream of water that's not only faster but even bigger than Magickarp's Hydro Pump. The big stream of water heads for Clefable as Ash speaks.
"Use Protect!" Ash calls with Clefable nodding she holds out both of her hands forward and summons a protective barrier protecting itself from the attack when the Hydro Pump stops Clefable cancels the protect but it and Ash don't see Vaporeon anywhere as Misty speaks.
"Use Aqua Tail!" Misty calls as Vaporeon jumps out of the water appearing right in front of Clefable. The water fox covers its tail in water and smacks Clefable across the face with its tail doing some damage and knocking Clefable in the water as Ash speaks.
"Clefable try to get out of the water!" Ash calls Clefable's a little dazed but hears Ash's voice as she begins to swim out of the pool Misty calls for a command.
"Use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls and in an instant a large stream of water shoots upward blindsiding Clefable knocking it out of the pool and into the air as Misty speaks.
"Now Aqua Tail!" Misty calls Vaporeon jumps out of the pool and begins to cover its tail in water. As Vaporeon's getting closer to Clefable Ash speaks.
"Clefable try to dodge then counter with Thunder Punch!" Ash calls Clefable opens its eyes and quickly dodges the Aqua tail. Clefable covers its left fist in electricity and successfully punches Vaporeon in the face causing super effective damage making it fall back down as Ash calls for his next command.
"Now Dazzling Gleam!" Ash calls Clefable surrounds itself with glowing pink energy and begins falling towards Vaporeon as Misty speaks.
"Use Copycat!" Misty calls Vaporeon quickly memorizes Clefable's Dazzling Gleam and creates its own Dazzling Gleam. The moves collide into the air knocking Vaporeon and Clefable back on the land platforms. The two Pokémon quickly stand up ready to continue their battle they glare at each other as Ash begins to think.
"Man, that's one tough Vaporeon but I know we can win!" Ash thinks to himself and calls for his next move.
"Clefable heal yourself with Moonlight!" Ash calls Clefable summons a large moon up in the sky successfully healing most of the damage it took as Misty speaks.
"You're not the only one that has healing moves Ash Vaporeon use Aqua Ring!" Misty call's as Vaporeon summons a ring of water healing it but unlike Moonlight Aqua Ring will keep healing Vaporeon whenever it takes damage Misty then calls for her next command.
"Now use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls with Vaporeon quickly firing the move as Ash speaks.
"Quick use Minimize to dodge it!" Ash calls Clefable instantly gets smaller and successfully dodges the Hydro Pump. Ash thinks that this can work and calls for his next command.
"Now use calm mind!" Ash calls and Clefable begins to clear its mind as Misty speaks.
"We won't let you! Vaporeon use Quick Attack!" Misty calls Vaporeon dashes off in blinding speed it's about to hit Clefable until Ash calls for another Minimize Clefable is able to dodge the attack by getting even smaller. Ash smiles and calls for his next command.
"Now use Calm Mind again!" Ash calls Clefable is able to successfully clear its mind and can feel it's special defense and attack raising it looks at Ash and smiles with Ash smiling back as he speaks.
"Clefable lets end this battle with a full power Moon Blast!" Ash calls Clefable lets out a mighty cry and summons a large pink orb of fairy energy as Misty speaks
"We won't lose Vaporeon use Last Resort!" Misty calls Vaporeon also lets out a mighty cry and begins to summon a large star almost matching the size of Clefable's Moon Blast. Back in the stands Lilly and Violet have worried looks on their faces as Lilly speaks.
"Um do you think this is a bit much?" Lilly asks in a concerned voice with Violet nodding as they hug each other. Daisy who's standing in the ref spot is even more terrified since she's so close to the battle as tears comedically start flowing from her eyes. Back on the battle once the Moonblast and Last Resort have gotten big enough Ash and Misty yell.
"GO!" Both trainers yell as Clefable and Vaporeon launch their attacks the two moves collide creating a big wind. Lilly and Violet hold on to each other tightly as Daisy runs from the ref position to hide under a bench. Ash and Misty stare forward as the two moves begin to battle back and forth seeing which one is superior, we see that Vaporeon's Last Resort is starting to push Clefable's Moonblast back as Misty speaks.
"That's it Vaporeon just a little more and we win!" Misty yells with Vaporeon nodding as it continues to push forward. Clefable is starting to get pushed back more and more it doesn't know if it can win that's when she hears Ash's voice.
"Come on Clefable I know you can do it don't give up and KEEP PUSHING!" "PIKA!" Ash and Pikachu cheer on the Pixie mon. When Clefable hears them she grits her teeth and starts to push with all its might she continues to push until the moves are in the middle again and begin to fight for dominance as both trainers yell.
"GO! VAPOREON!" Misty yells "GO! CLEFABLE!" Ash yells. Both Pokémon let out one yell as Clefable is able to win the exchange destroying the large star. As the Moon Blast heads for Vaporeon the blue fox and Misty eye's both grow wide as the giant Moon Blast hits Vaporeon creating a big explosion shaking the building, and blowing away Ash, Pikachu along with Misty from their battle spots. Misty's sisters (now under the same bench) scream out in fear. Meanwhile Brock who's outside is carrying a lot of grocery bags walking to the Cerulean Gym and has a depressing look on his face.
"In the end I couldn't get Officer Jenny to go out on a date with me" Brock says in a disappointed tone as letting out a sign. As he continues to walk to the gym, he hears a loud explosion coming from the building he gets a worried look forgetting his depression and quickly runs to the gym to check on Ash and Misty.
Back Inside the gym the shaking stops allowing for Daisy to open her eyes. She looks at her two sisters who still have their eyes closed and holding their heads she then touches them causing them to quickly open their eyes they see Daisy as she gestures for them to follow her to the battlefield. Lilly and Violet nod as they move out from under the bench. They look around and see just how destroyed the room is as Lilly speaks.
"Man, the janitors aren't going to like this" Lilly says as Violet speaks.
"Do you see them anywhere Daisy?" Violet asks with worry in her voice as Daisy continues to look.
"Hmmm" Daisy says as she continues to scan the area. A few seconds later the smoke begins to clear she sees Ash (Pikachu on his shoulder) and Misty struggling to stand on their fee, when they do they begin to walk to the destroyed battlefield to see the results. The sisters let out a sigh of relief that they're okay Daisy then looks at the battlefield with the smoke finally clearing she sees one Pokémon standing and the other unconscious she smiles and makes her call.
"Gym leader Misty's final Pokémon Vaporeon is unable to battle Clefable is the victory making Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town the winnger!" Daisy says happily Lilly and Violet let out a happy cry, Ash and Pikachu yell happily with Clefable jumping to Ash and Pikachu giving them a big hug.
"Hahahaha we did it Clefable you were amazing!" Ash says happily Clefable lets out a happy "Clef" and continues to hug Ash and Pikachu. Misty's surprised that she lost but sighs, she walks over to Vaporeon sits next to it and puts it on her lap. A few seconds later Vaporeon opens her eyes and lets out a "Va" Vaporeon telling Misty sorry that she lost. Misty continues to rub the Pokémon's head and speaks.
"It's okay Vaporeon we did our best I'm frustrated that we lost too but we fought our hardest and had fun we'll keep training and one day we'll beat Ash" Misty says with having confident look on her face causing Vaporeon to smile back at her. Misty returns the blue fox to her Pokeball then stands up she turns around and sees her sisters they run to her and wrap her in a big hug as Violet speaks.
"Oh, Misty don't cry you fought hard out there" Violet says while rubbing Misty's head as Daisy speaks.
"Yeah, you'll win next time for sure" Daisy says as Lilly speaks.
"You really are one of the sensational sisters you battle hard!" Lilly exclaims as she along with Daisy and Violet continue to hug Misty. Misty starts to struggle to breathe as she yells.
"I KNOW THAT ALREADY NOW CAN YOU ALL LET GO OF ME I CAN'T BREATHE!" Misty yells as her sisters let her go, she gives a few huffs before looking at them she smiles and speaks.
"Thank you" Misty says as she runs towards Ash who's now returned Clefable to its Pokeball. Ash then sees Misty running up to him when Misty gets close enough, she stops and pulls something out of her pocket. Misty looks at Ash, smiles and speaks.
"Well, here you go Ash this is the Cascade Badge it was a great battle" Misty says happily as she hands Ash the badge the boy smiles and speaks.
"I just got the Cascade Badge!" "Pi Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu say happily doing their pose causing Misty and her sisters to give a chuckle as they then hear a voice.
"HEY, IS EVERYONE ALRIGHT?!" The voice says causing everyone to turn to the direction it came. They then see running into the battlefield as it becomes more clear Ash and Misty smile.
"It's Brock!" Ash and Misty say happily as they run over Brock. When they make it to him Brock speaks.
"Are you guys alright? I heard a large explosion and ran here as quickly as I could" Brock asks while panting heavily as Misty speaks.
"We're fine me, and Ash just finished our gym battle" Misty responds as Brock speaks.
"Gym battle?" Brock asks with Ash and Misty nodding as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, check it out Brock I got my second badge the battle with Misty was tough, but I was able to win" Ash says happily while showing Brock the badge. Brock congratulates Ash then turns to Misty and speaks.
"So, you were finally able to tell Ash" Brock says having a smile on his face with Misty nodding making Ash confused as he speaks.
"Wait, you knew Misty was the gym leader why didn't you tell me?" Ash asks while having a surprised look on his face as Brock speaks.
"Well, it wasn't my place to say anything Misty needed to be the one to tell you" Brock responds with Ash nodding in understanding. Brock then sees three people walking up to them and gets an excited look on his face he quickly leaves Ash and Misty and pulls out flowers for the three young adults. Brock gets on one knee and speaks.
"Oh Daisy, Violet and Lilly it must be fate for us to see each other again please will either one or all three of you go on a date with me?" Brock asks with hope in his eyes as Lilly speaks.
"Yeah, no I've already told you I'm not interested" Lilly says while turning her head away from Brock.
"Sorry Brock you're a nice boy but I don't have any feelings for you" Violet says trying not to hurt Brock's feelings as Daisy speaks.
"Like yeah it's never going to happen" Daisy says having an uninterested look on her face. Brock gets a sad look on his face letting out sigh his flowers begin to wilt away as he speaks.
"Man getting rejected 4 times in one day hurts" Brock says in a sad tone with everyone else wondering when the 4th time happened.
It's now the next day Ash and Brock decided to stay at the Pokémon Center while Misty stayed with her sisters giving them a chance to catch up again. Misty's sisters decided they won't stop battling telling Misty that she was right when she told them that watching her, and Ash's battle would ignite their love for battles again. But they'll still do the water shows to give themselves a break from battling with Misty nodding.
Everyone is now at the exit of Cerulean City Ash, Misty and Brock are ready to leave as Violet speaks.
"Now Misty promise me you'll make sure to call us every now and then" Violet says with Misty nodding as Daisy looks at Ash and Brock then speaks.
"Now you two young men better take good care of our sister we know she can be a hand full sometimes" Daisy says with Ash and Brock nodding in agreement Misty gets slightly annoyed but ignores it. Lilly then walks up to Misty and hands her 2 Pokeball's one containing Seel and the other containing Vaporeon Lilly then speaks.
"You really need to slow down sometimes sis you almost forgot to take Vaporeon again and Seel really wants to be with you" Lilly says Misty smiles as she takes the Pokeball's and gives Lilly a hug with Lilly returning it. Daisy and Violet join in on the as well. Ash, Pikachu and Brock look at the siblings and smile.
A few seconds later the sisters break away from the hug as Daisy, Lilly and Violet speak.
"Now go out there and become a Water Pokémon Master!" The 3 young adults say giving Misty encouragement. Misty looks at them with a determined look on her face and nods. She then runs over to Ash and Brock the three trainers begin to walk out of the city while waving goodbye to Misty's sisters. We go Inside the gym as we see new a picture of Misty and her sisters all having smiles on their faces as the chapter comes to an end.
Whew this chapter was also very long if you made it this far thank you for reading. A lot of things happened in this chapter Ash, Brock and Misty all got new Pokémon added to their teams, they received fossils, Giovanni knows about Ash and assigned Jessie, James and Meowth to keep tabs on him we also got to see Red alongside Cynthia, Leon, Kukui and Mustard and learned what Red has been doing. Silver was also mentioned in this chapter he will appear but not for a long time. Ash got his second badge it's going to be a while before he gets his third since the next three chapters will focus on the starters, AJ, Pokémon Tech and the confrontation with Damian.
Give me your thoughts on this chapter the next one will probably come out next week.
Next time Chapter 5: AJ and Pokémon Tech
See you all next time!
