Chapter 9 Alolan Raichu and Wimpod

Hello everyone, this chapter and the next mainly cover the events of the gang training for the upcoming tournament. This chapter includes a Pokémon hunter as well as Pokémon from the Alola region now let's begin.

The story begins in the Alola region on Akala Island we see a female Pikachu collecting berries to have for dinner and it just needs one more berry. As it continues to look it sees an Oran Berry on the forest floor. Pikachu looks around making sure there are no other Pokémon around. When Pikachu doesn't see any other Pokémon, it happily walks to the berry. As it's about to pick it up a cage suddenly falls from the sky trapping Pikachu.

Pikachu tries using Thunderbolt to break the cage but it's not working as this cage can absorb its electric type moves. Pikachu continues to try and break out but stops as it hears foots steps and sees a man. He's bald with tan skin, wearing scuba gear and has two other men with him as one of his underlings speaks.

"You see boss I told you it would work" A man with red hair says as another man speaks.

"You were right I thought it would've been harder to find and capture a female Pikachu, but it seems like this one is very young and naïve. Now bring me the stone" The boss says as one of his underling's hands him a Thunderstone he looks at Pikachu then speaks.

"Hello, there Pikachu, our client from Vermillion City in the Kanto region hired us saying that she wanted a female Alolan Raichu. You probably evolved from a Pichu recently but guess what you get to evolve again" The man says happily as he goes and places the stone on the scared Pikachu who screams as it begins to evolve.

1 hour later we see a small arthropod Pokémon called a Wimpod it was hiding in its rock all morning it was scared of other Pokémon and Pokémon of its own kind as well since they would always pick on it whenever it came out to eat food. Wimpod looks around but doesn't see any food anywhere it sighs as its about to give up until it notices an Oran Berry. Wimpod happily runs to the berry it's about to eat it until a cage comes down not only trapping Wimpod but shocking it as well Wimpod screams in pain and sees three people walk toward it.

"Well, our plan worked again boss" The underling says as the boss bends down and looks at Wimpod.

"Hello Wimpod, my name is Hunter D me and my crew here got a contract from someone in Vermillion City who'll pay us big money if we bring her a female Alolan Raichu and a Wimpod" Hunter D says while smiling. Wimpod looks at the man and is terrified as Hunter D continues to speak.

"Oh, don't be scared Wimpod you and Raichu will have a new home" D says as one of his underlings picks up Wimpod's cage they then walk to a submarine that looks like a Sharpedo. When they enter the underling carrying Wimpod puts Wimpod in the same room Raichu is in. Wimpod looks at Raichu it can tell that it's very young and seems like it's been crying the entire time. Even though Wimpod is scared it tries to comfort Raichu but Raichu turns away and begins to cry again making Wimpod sad as Hunter D speaks.

"Alright men set sail for Kanto it should take us 3 days to get there!" Hunter D says with his crew nodding as the submarine begins to go underwater and starts heading in the direction of Kanto.


3 days later Hunter D and his underlings have made it to Vermillion City they are carrying Raichu and Wimpod's cages as they walk to meet their client. Wimpod looks around and feels that this is their chance to escape. Wimpod begins to thrash about causing the man holding it to drop Wimpod's cage as it breaks when it falls on the ground. Raichu notices it also begins to thrash making the other man holding on Raichu's cage to drop it as it breaks as well. Wimpod and Raichu begin to run away (Raichu is flying through the air) in the direction of a forest. Hunter D looks at his underlings then yells.

"YOU IDIOTS GO AFTER THEM!" Hunter D yells at his two underlings who nod and begin to run in the direction Wimpod and Raichu went.

"Our client isn't going to like this" Hunter D says as he begins to call the woman who hired him.

Meanwhile, in the forest of Vermillion City we see Ash and friends training their Pokémon Ash is really looking forward to the tournament. During these past 3 days after losing to Paul he's been training nonstop the day after he lost to Paul, he got a letter from Leaf saying she's excited to see Ash and Misty again she'll meet up with them on the day of the tournament. Leaf will also be training hard as well, and Gary will be there too. Ash also captured a new Pokémon during this time as he, Misty and Brock were fishing on the Vermillion docks Ash fished out a red crab Pokémon called a Krabby Ash threw a Pokeball and instantly caught the crab Pokémon. Brock congratulated Ash while Misty was jealous as she wanted to capture a Krabby as well.

During the past 2 days Krabby has really grown to like the group Gyarados has also decided to take Krabby under its wing to train it with Squirtle joining as well. Currently there's a training battle between Ash's Gyarados and Brock's Onix. We see the two-mons clash with their heads pushing each other back and forth trying to see who's stronger. They continue until they back away from each other Gyarados gets its tail ready as Ash speaks.

"Use Aqua Tail!" Ash calls Gyarados lets out a mighty roar it covers its tail with water and shoots forward as Brock speaks.

"Counter with Iron Tail!" Brock calls Onix roars as well with its tail glowing in steel energy as it collides with the Aqua Tail. The two Pokémon begin to continuously clash with their tails trying to prove to the other that they're the stronger one. Both Ash's and Brock's Pokémon give a loud cheer for their teammates. Misty is currently the referee, and her Pokémon are also watching the battle excited to see who'll win. Ash currently has with him Pikachu, Gyarados, Charmeleon, Butterfree, Squirtle and Krabby, Ash sent Clefable and Bulbasaur to Oaks lab. Prof. Oak and Daisy were interested in Bulbasaur since it used to be the leader of the hidden village and were hoping Bulbasaur could help deal with some of the Pokémon that have disagreements with each other. Clefable after the battle with Paul's Raichu was feeling a bit depressed so Ash decided to let it rest at Oaks lab while Pidgeotto and Bulbasaur keep it company.

Gyarados after evolving has also been a great training partner for not only Ash's Pokémon but Misty's and Brock's as well. Charmeleon and Gyarados have even formed a rivalry and always train hard with each other but sometimes Gyarados goes a bit too overboard and accidentally injures Charmeleon. But the fire lizard doesn't mind as it's happy it has a strong training partner to make it stronger. Back to the battle we see Gyarados and Onix clash with their tails one more time then back away from each other. The two mons both begin to pant as Brock speaks.

"Let's end this Onix use Iron Head!" Brock calls Onix covers its head in steel energy and charges forward at Gyarados as Ash speaks.

"Dodge then use Hydro Pump!" Ash calls Gyarados quickly moves to the left avoiding the Iron Head. Gyarados fills its mouth with water then fires a big Hydro Pump at Onix consuming it. The giant rock snake flies through the air then crashes back down on the ground. Everyone looks at Onix they can see that it's knocked out Misty then speaks.

"Onix is unable to battle Gyarados is the winner!" Misty calls allowing for Ash, his Pokémon and Misty's Pokémon to cheer. Ash looks at Gyarados then speaks.

"Way to go Gyarados!" Ash says happily with his other Pokémon saying the same thing. Gyarados turns back to its trainer and its other teammates with a happy smile. The sea serpent then charges forward and wraps all of them in a tight hug.

"Let… us… go… Gyarados" Ash says as he and his Pokémon struggle to get out of the hug, but Gyarados doesn't let them go as it begins to rub its face on all of them tickling them making Misty and her Pokémon laugh while Brock along with Geodude, Zubat and Sandshrew walk over to Onix. When they make it Onix looks at them saying sorry it lost as Brock speaks.

"You did well Onix even though we lost I can feel we're getting stronger" Brock says comforting Onix with the rest of Brocks Pokémon agreeing. Onix looks at them and nods in agreement. Brock then applies a Hyper Potion on Onix making it feel better after that he and his Pokémon walk over to Ash (Gyarados finally let Ash and his Pokémon go) and Misty then speaks.

"Hey why don't we take a break from training and have lunch" Brock suggests with Ash, Misty and the other Pokémon agreeing Ash then looks at Krabby who's punching its pincers in the air.

"Hey Krabby, do you want to still train?" Ash asks with the little crab nodding its head, making Ash smile.

"Okay how about this once lunch is over, I'll have you and Squirtle have a training battle with each other" Ash says Krabby looks over at Squirtle who nods. Krabby smiles then goes to help prepare for lunch.


20 minutes pass Ash, Misty and Brock are at the table eating their lunch with Pikachu and Vaporeon next to Ash and Misty while the other Pokémon eat their food separately from the trainers. The Pokemon enjoy eating the food that Brock made for them Squirtle even shares some of its food with Krabby and Seel who were still hungry making both Pokémon happy. Gyarados, Charmeleon and Sandshrew have an eating competition to see who can finish their food faster, but all this does is give them an upset stomach making the other Pokémon and trainers laugh. Everyone continues to eat until Pikachu and Vaporeon hear something coming from the bushes and go to investigate with Ash, Misty, and Brock walking with them. When they make it to the bush Ash looks at the 2-mons then speaks.

"What do you sense Pikachu and Vaporeon?" Ash asks but soon gets his answer when a Alolan Raichu and Wimpod jump out of the bush shocking Ash, Pikachu, and Brock while Misty and Vaporeon scream when they see Wimpod (Vaporeaon has the same fear of bugs as Misty)

"BUGGGGGGGG!" "VAAAAAAAA!" Misty and Vaporeon scream and are about to run but Wimpod jumps on Misty's face making Misty scream even more as she runs in the direction of the table crashing into it making Wimpod fly off Misty's face and land in the middle of the groups Pokemon who were eating.

Wimpod looks at its surroundings and sees the groups Pokemon looking at it making Wimpod scared as it lets out an ear-piercing scream out of fear hurting the ears of Ash, Misty's and Brock's Pokémon as they try to cover their ears. Unfortunately, Onix and Gyarados aren't able to cover their ears as they roar in pain the 2-mons begin to fire Hydro Pumps and Rockslide respectively everywhere trying to make the noise stop. But all it does is hurt the groups Pokémon Charmeleon gets hit in the face by a Hydro Pump making the fire lizard mad as it fires a Flamethrower. But instead of hitting Gyarados the stream of fire hit Squirtle and Sandshrew making them mad as they fire their moves at Charmeleon but miss and accidentally hit Geodude and Seel. After that chaos breaks loose as all the Pokémon other than Pikachu and Vaporeon start attacking each other in an all-out brawl. Wimpod is able to slip away safely as it ran away and is now clinging on Misty's leg making Misty scream even louder as she begins to run around in circles trying to get Wimpod off her leg, but it won't let go. Ash, Brock, Pikachu and Vaproeon look at the chaos as Brock speaks.

"Ash I'm going to go calm the Pokémon down you help Misty" Brock says as he begins to run towards the Pokémon who are battling each other. Ash nods as he goes to help Misty with Vaporeon running next to him. Pikachu wants to go as well but notices the weird looking Raichu cowering in fear from all the chaos Pikachu sighs and goes to comfort the Pokémon. Raichu looks and sees Pikachu comforting it making the mouse happy. Meanwhile Misty continues to run around as Ash yells.

"Misty stop!" Ash yells as he and Vaporeon continue to run after the destressed Misty the girl speaks.

"Not until this bug let's go of my leg!" Misty responds with Wimpod holding on tightly the girl continues to run as Ash speaks.

"Sorry Misty I didn't want to do this Vaporeon help me out use Hydro Pump" Ash says Vaporeon nods and fires the big stream of water that hits Misty and Wimpod. Misty falls on the ground groaning in pain, this allows Ash to walk up to Misty and is able to pull Wimpod off her leg. Meanwhile Brock was able to stop the Pokémon from fighting thanks to Ash's Butterfree using sleep powder putting them to sleep and is now healing their wounds. Brock looks at the Butterfly then speaks.

"Thanks for the help Butterfree" Brocks says with Butterfree nodding its head as Brock begins to heal it too. Ash then looks at Wimpod and speaks.

"What Pokémon is this?" Ash says as he takes out his Pokedex to scan the mon.

"Wimpod, the Turn Tail Pokémon. A Bug and Water type. From beaches to seabeds, Wimpod live in all kinds of places. They eat anything, even if it's rotten. Nature's vacuum cleaners!" Pokedex says. Misty ears perk up when she learns that Wimpod is also a water type as Ash then scans the weird looking Raichu who's still being comforted by Pikachu.

"Raichu, Alola Form. The Mouse Pokémon. An Electric and Psychic type. Raichu manipulates electricity with its mind, and its psychic powers allow it to use its tail as transportation." The Pokedex says shocking the group as Ash speaks.

"Whoa so this is an Alolan Raichu and its part Psychic type that's cool" Ash says with sparkles in his eyes as Misty speaks.

"But why are Pokémon that are native to the Alola region are in Kanto?" Misty asks now recovered Brock walks over to them then speaks.

"I'm not sure but if I were to guess it would be" Brock was going to finish but the gang get their answer once they see two men appear from the bushes.

"Ah there you are you two cost us a lot of trouble now it's time for you to come back with us" Underling 1 says as Raichu hides behind Pikachu and Wimpod jumps out of Ash's hand to hide behind Misty and Vaporeon making them both freeze up in fear. The 2 Underlings look at the group as Underling 2 speaks.

"Hey kids will you be able to give us those Pokémon we would really appreciate it" Underling 2 asks with a smile as Ash speaks.

"It doesn't seem like Raichu and Wmipod want to go with you" Ash responds while looking at the 2-mons shaking in fear as Brock speaks.

"Who are you guys anyway?" Brock asks as Underling 1 speaks.

"Like you need to know" Underling 1 says with a smile as Underling 2 speaks.

"We're Pokemon hunters of course" Underling 2 says proudly making 1 mad as he blew their cover. The group get surprised looks on their faces as Brock speaks.

"Pokémon hunters? I see my guess was right then" Brock says, at that point everyone then hear footsteps coming from the bushes as they all see a man with tan skin and scuba gear. The man looks at Raichu and Wimpod then smiles.

"Ah there you are" The man says as the underlings look at him happily. The man then looks at the group smiles and speaks.

"Hello there children my name is Hunter D, those Pokémon belong to us if you would be so kind as to please hand them over I would greatly appreciate it and we'll be on our way" D says while smiling making Raichu and Wimpod even more scared. The group notice as Pikachu and Vaporeon get into their battle stance's the groups other Pokémon are starting to wake up as well with Butterfree explaining what's going on currently. Ash then looks at D then speaks.

"We already told your two friends that were not handing these two over" Ash says with anger in his voice with Misty and Brock nodding in agreement as Misty speaks.

"Besides what did you do to them to make both of them terrified of you?!" Misty asks angerly with Wimpod still behind her as Hunter D thinks for a few seconds then speaks.

"Oh, nothing really for Raichu there we trapped it in a cage when it was a Pikachu that just recently evolved from Pichu and evolved it again with a Thunderstone. Wimpod are normally very scared creatures so all we did to it was trap it in a cage that would shock it and had the two of them stay in a dark room in our Submarine for about 3 days" Hunter D responds happily making the 3 trainers angrier their other Pokémon get angry as well after listening to that as Brock speaks.

"That's horrible I now understand why this Raichu looks young it's because you forced it to evolve too soon before it matured as a Pikachu" Brock says angerly as D speaks.

"I don't really see the harm our client wanted a female Alolan Raichu we saw a young naive Pikachu, trapped it and evolved it that's all" Hunter D responds as Ash speaks.

"Still, it's not right I can tell just by looking at it that Raichu has been crying the whole time after it evolved, I won't let you guys get away with this!" Ash says while having a determined/angry look on his face. Pikachu along with Ash's other Pokemon get into battle stances as Raichu looks at Ash curiously Misty then speaks.

"Even though Wimpod is part bug I will not stand for you abusing Pokemon I don't like bug types, but I'll do my best to protect Wimpod!" Misty states as her, Brocks Pokémon get ready to battle Wimpod looks at Misty it can tell that she's terrified of it but to go so far to protect it makes Wimpod happy. Hunter then lets out a sigh and speaks.

"Fine have it your way besides I mainly love doing things by force and while we're at it we'll steal your Pokemon as well" Hunter D says as he and his underlings send out their Pokémon. The two underlings send out a Palpitoad, Araquanid (making Misty and Vaporeon scared) and a Crawdaunt. Hunter D brings out a Gyarados (it glares at Ash's Gyarados and Brock's Onix), Seismitoad, Cloyster and a Poilwrath that's bigger than Damian's.

The group see the new water Pokémon not native to Kanto and want to get excited but know that the situation is serious as they can't afford to make any mistakes. Their Pokémon are ready to battle and even though Krabby knows this isn't going to be a fun training battle it's still excited to battle powerful opponents as they'll be good training for the little crab. Everyone stares at each other for a few moments until Hunter D's underlings make the first move.

"Palpitoad Hydro Pump!" The two underlings call the 2 toads fire the large stream of water at the groups Pokémon as Ash, Misty, and Brock speak.

"Use Thunderbolt!" Ash, Misty and Brock call Pikachu, Starmie and Geodude fire their own electric bolts of lightning colliding with the Hydro Pump fired by the two toad like Pokemon creating an explosion. Out of the explosion appear the 2 Crawdaunts the charge forward as the 2 underlings speak.

"Crawdaunt use Crab Hammer!" The underlings call the two big Lobster Pokémon cover their pincers in water and head for the groups Pokémon as Ash speaks.

"Krabby counter with your Crab Hammer and Squirtle counter with Aqua Tail!" Ash calls Krabby and Squirtle quickly jump forward using their respective moves and collide with the Crawdaunt. Squirtle is able to successfully counter, but Krabby unfortunately was knocked back as the Crawdaunt was too strong injured the little crab. This makes Ash's Gyarados angry it charges forward at the large Lobster getting its teeth ready as Ash speaks.

"Gyarados use Ice fang!" Ash calls Gyarados teeth grow bigger becoming like ice and bites down hard on Crawdaunt causing damage and easily knocking it out. This makes the hunters angry while D's Gyarados is impressed. Krabby looks in awe at how strong its master is and wants to continue battling as it struggles to get up as the 2 underlings speak.

"Araquand use Lunge!" both underlings call the big spider Pokemon glow in green bug energy and jump forward towards Misty's and Brocks Pokémon as Misty speaks.

"Seel use Ice Beam and Vaporeon use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls the 2-mons fire their moves and manage to knock one of the big spiders away. The other Araquand continues to head for Brock's Pokémon as he speaks.

"Zubat use Supersonic and Sandshrew use Fury swipes!" Brock calls Zubat quickly screams confusing Araquaned making it stop its pursuit. Sandshrew jumps forward and begins to swipe at the large spider's face causing some damage to it as Underling 2 speaks.

"Knock Sandshrew back with Liquidation!" Underling 2 commands as Araquaned covers its right leg in water and hits Sandshrew in the stomach making the ground mouse cough in pain as Brock speaks.

"Sandshrew!" Brock cries out as Sandshrew falls below Brock's feet. It's not knocked out but is seriously injured Underling 2 then speaks.

"Hah take that" Underling 2 says while having a smile on his face. Hunter D looks at him then yells.

"Call for your next move already!" D yells in anger with 2 nodding as he calls for his next attacks.

"Palpitoad, Araquaned use Hydro Pump!" Underling 2 calls the toad and spider fire the large stream of water at Brock. Ash and Misty look on in horror and are about to help but D's Gyarados, and Poliwrath fire a Hydro Pump near them to stop them from advancing. Ash's Gyarados and Charmeleon charge at D's Pokémon the two Gyarados clash heads while Charmeleon gets into a grapple with Poilwrath. Onix is busy dealing with Seismitoad and is unable to help its trainer.

As the 2 Hydro Pump are getting closer Brock closes his eyes expecting the worst, he waits but nothing happen he then opens his eyes and sees. Geodude doing its best to stop the water from hurting Brock and Sandshrew. Meanwhile Zubat along with Butterfree fly ahead going to attack the 2 mons Butterfree uses Giga drain on Palpitoad (when it was at Oaks lab Daisy taught this move to Butterfree) knocking out the toad and Zubat uses Air Slash on Araquaned it doesn't knockout the giant spider but does serious damage to it. Brock and Sandshrew look at the 3-mons and smile as Brock speaks.

"Thanks guys" "Shrew" Brock and Sandshrew say happily making the 3 Pokemon nod Geodude then begins to glow a bright white, everyone is surprised as Geodude is no longer and Geodude but is now a Graveler. Unlike a Kantoian Graveler Brock's Graveler is a lighter grey with eyebrows and some yellow dots all over its body. Brock looks at the mon smiles and speaks.

"That's great Graveler you evolved!" Brock says happily, with Graveler nodding. Underling 2 then speaks.

"Just because it evolved doesn't mean anything Araquand use Liquidation!" Underling 2 yells as the giant spider covers its right leg in water and charges forward at Graveler Brock then speaks.

"Use Rock Polish to dodge then Thunder Punch!" Brock calls Graveler shines bright increasing its speed allowing it to dodge the attack. It then covers all 4 of its fists in electricity and begins landing multiple hits on the water spider. Graveler punches the spider one more time and finally knocks it out leaving underling 2 with no more Pokemon.

"NOOOOO!" Underling 2 yells in defeat as D and 1 look at him disappointed. Brock looks at Graveler and speaks.

"Great job Graveler!" Brock says happily as he Sandshrew and Zubat go and hug it making the mon happy. Ash and Misty smile then get back to their battles as Ash calls for a command.

"Butterfree help out Squirtle with Bug Buzz!" Ash calls Butterfree flies over and fires green bug energy at Crawdaunt. The attack land causing super effective damage since Crawdaunt is part dark Ash then calls for his next command.

"Squirtle end it with Rapid Spin!" Ash calls Squirtle quickly spins forward and hits the giant Lobster knocking it out. Underling 1 is surprised while Ash smiles and speaks.

"Good job guys!" Ash says with Squirtle and Butterfree giving each other a high five. Meanwhile with Misty's battle with Araquaned Misty calls for a command.

"Starmie use Psychic to hold it in place and Seel, Vaporeon finish it with Ice Beam!" Misty calls Starmie uses Psychic to hold Araquaned in place while Seel and Vaporeon combine their Ice Beams to freeze the giant water spider knocking it out Misty and her Pokemon cheer at their victory with Wimpod cheering as well. Underling 1 gets mad and calls for a command.

"I'm not done yet Palpitoad use Mud Bomb!" Underling 1 calls the blue toad fires a big ball of mud at Pikachu and Raichu as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu use Iron Tail to cut it!" Ash calls Pikachu covers its tail in steel energy and manages to easily cut the ball in half impressing Raichu as Ash calls for his next command.

"Krabby use Crabhammer!" Ash calls, Krabby shoots forward, it covers its left pincer in water and hits Palpitoad hard in the stomach. The toad coughs in pain as it's also knocked out. Underling 1 has no more Pokemon left as Ash speaks.

"Great job Pikachu and Krabby" Ash cheers as Pikachu and Krabby give Ash a smile, Raichu looks up at Ash also giving him a smile. Hunter D's annoyed by his 2 underlings then speaks.

"I don't believe this how could you two lose to a bunch of kids?!" Hunter D yells at his 2 crew members angerly with the two of them looking at their boss apologetically. Hunter D lets out a sigh then speaks.

"If you want something done right do it yourself Cloyster use Icicle Crash, Gyarados Thunderbolt! Poilwrath Hydro Pump and Seismitoad use Drain Punch!" D commands Cloyster summons giant icicles from the sky and flings them at the group who try their best to dodge but it hits Butterfree and Zubat immediately knocking them out. D's Gyarados fires a Thunderbolt at Ash's Gyarados causing super effective damage to the blue serpent, but it can still battle. Poilwrath fires a Hydro Pump at Charmeleon, but the fire lizard dodges at last second by bending backwards as it doesn't want to get hit with another Hydro Pump today. Seismitoad covers its left fist in orange energy jumps upward and hits Onix's lower jaw with Drain punch injuring the giant rock snake. Onix groans in pain but it's not out yet it sees Seismitoad land on the ground as Brock speaks.

"Onix use Iron Head!" Brock yells Onix roars it covers its head in steel energy and charges at Seismitoad as D speaks.

"Catch it and throw it at Gyarados!" D calls Seismitoad hears its trainers command and rolls its eyes (Seismitoad doesn't like Hunter D). Seismitoad looks forward and manages to stop Onix with one hand. Onix tries its best to push Seismitoad away but isn't able to, Seismitoad then picks it up Onix and throws it at Ash's Gyarados who didn't see Onix coming as the giant rock snake crashes into Gyarados causing them to both fall on the ground groaning in pain. Hunter D smiles and calls for a command.

"Now Gyarados Hyper Beam!" D calls his Gyarados creates a ball of orange energy and fires a big beam that engulfs Onix and Ash's Gyarados creating a big explosion. Ash and Brock yell in concern for their Pokemon, as the dust clears, we see that Ash's Gyarados took the full force of the Hyper Beam protecting the already weakened Onix. Onix looks at Gyarados telling it thank you Gyarados looks back at Onix and smiles as it's happy that it's okay. Gyarados then looks back at Hunter D's Gyarados who's currently recharging from the Hyper Beam it fired. Ash's Gyarados takes a deep breath as a ball of orange energy starts forming from its mouth everyone looks at it as Hunter D speaks.

"No, you're kidding me it learned Hyper Beam after taking the hit from my Gyarados?!" D says in shock while Ash smiles and speaks.

"You see my Gyarados is tough ever since it was a Magikarp it was very durable and now that it's a Gyarados its defense increased a lot. It's now time for you to get a taste of your own medicine Gyarados use Hyper Beam!" Ash calls Gyarados nods as it fires the beam that looks even bigger than the one D's Gyarados used. Hunter D has a scared look on his face as he calls for a command.

"Gyarados counter with your Hyper Beam!" D calls but his Gyarados is unable to as it's still recharging from its earlier attack. It's then consumed by the Hyper Beam the beam also flies toward Hunter D as well it's about to hit him, but his Cloyster moves its trainer out of the way as its also consumed in the Hyper Beam. The beam continues also destroying a few trees a few seconds later the beam stops as not only did it knock out D's Gyarados and Cloyster, but it also destroyed most of the forest in the process. Everyone is surprised by the power that Ash's Gyarados displayed. Meanwhile Krabby and Charmeleon are amazed, Krabby is happy that its master continues to prove why it's really strong and Charmeleon is happy to see its rival break its limits and get stronger making Charmeleon want to one day surpass Gyarados. Hunter D's Seismitoad is impressed too as it thought Hunter D's Gyarados was strong, but Ash's Gyarados is stronger, and the toad really wants to battle it. Ash then looks at Gyarados and speaks.

"That was great Gyarados you really showed them and congrats on learning Hyper Beam" Ash says happily as the groups Pokémon begin to cheer, Gyarados looks at them and smiles one more time before closing its eyes and falling over shocking the group as they run over to it. When they make it to the sea serpent Krabby and Charmeleon speak.

"Cook, cook" "Char, char" Krabby and Charmeleon say worriedly as Gyarados still has its eyes closed and is panting as Brock speaks.

"It looks like that Hyper Beam really took a lot out of it" Brock says as Misty speaks.

"We need to take it to a Pokémon Center" Misty says with Ash nodding and returns Gyarados to its Pokeball and speaks.

"Thank you for protecting Onix Gyarados take a good rest" Ash says to Gyarados's Pokeball before putting it back on his belt. Raichu and Wimpod are now standing next to each other not with the rest of the group they watch and see that these people really do care for their Pokemon and their Pokemon care for their trainers. Raichu and Wimpod begin to think that they want to be strong as well and feel that these people can help them reach that goal. They begin to walk over to the group but are then suddenly grabbed by D's Poilwrath they scream alerting the group as Ash speaks.

"Hey, let them g-"Before Ash could finish Seismitoad appears behind the group and launches a surprised Hydro Pump heading straight for Ash, Misty, and Brock. Squirtle, Starmie and Sandshrew act quickly as they knock their trainers out of the way allowing them to get hit instead. The strong Hydro Pump pushes them into a nearby tree, the 3-mons fall on the ground and are knocked out. This surprises the 3 humans and their Pokémon. They then look forward and see Hunter D along with his underlings who have smiles on their faces as D speaks.

"That's right Seismitoad crush those brats and their Pokémon use any means necessary!" Hunter D says giving Seismitoad the okay to battle on its own (Seismitoad isn't doing this for D but to test itself). Seismitoad then uses Muddy Water creating a big wave of brown water. Misty's Seel and Vaporeon use Ice Beam freezing the move in the process but that was a distraction Seismitoad charges forward through the frozen wave surprising the 2-mons. Seismitoad uses Brick Break on Misty's Seel knocking it out instantly and landing a Drain Punch on Vaporeon not knocking it out but doing major damage to its left hide leg Seismitoad smiles and begins to charge at the group again.

Charmeleon roars and begins to charge forward at the large toad using dragon claw on both its arms. The two mons are about to collide, but Seismitoad smiles as it jumps over Charmeleon tricking the fire lizard as it wasn't going to battle it. Seismitoad then sticks its tongue out at Charmeleon and continues heading towards the group. This makes Charmeleon mad with steam coming out of its head it roars and runs after Seismitoad. Seismitoad then stops when it sees Pikachu, Graveler, Onix and Krabby blocking its way. It then looks behind and sees Charmeleon and the injured Vaporeon too. The groups Pokémon glare at Seismitoad in anger while Seismitoad smiles as it begins to run forward again Brock then speaks.

"Graveler, Onix stop it with Stone Edge!" Brock calls both Pokémon quickly summon large sharp rocks from the ground sending them straight for Seismitoad. Seismitoad isn't fazed as it uses Brick Break to easily destroy the sharp stones it then jumps in the air and starts to form something that looks like a Focus Blast. It fires the move and successfully hits Onix in the face as the giant rock snake falls over defeated. Brock pulls out Onix's Pokeball and speaks.

"Thank you Onix return" Brock says returning Onix, as Seismitoad lands on the ground still smiling making, Pikachu, Krabby, Charmeleon, Graveler and Vaporeon angrier as Misty speaks.

"This Seismitoad is tough I'm not sure how we beat it" Misty says in a concerned voice as Ash speaks.

"Don't give up now Misty we can win I'm sure of it" Ash says while gritting his teeth as he begins thinks on what to do next Hunter D then speaks.

"Hahahahaha please you can't beat Seismitoad ever since I got it 4 years ago it's never lost a battle as long as I give it tough opponents to fight its happy" D says as Seismitoad gives him an annoyed look its true it only partnered with D so it could test itself against tough opponents. The first 3 years were that Seismitoad battled a lot of strong Pokémon, and it's won all of its battles but lately it's been bored. Seismitoad feels that it could be doing so much more with its life than be some random Pokémon hunters Pokémon. It wants to take on more powerful opponents and be with a trainer that'll make it stronger than it already is. Staying with Hunter D won't help it reach that goal, so Seismitoad decided that once this job is over whether they succeed or not it's going to crush its Pokeball and find a more suitable trainer that'll satisfy its desires. Seismitoad then begins to glare at the rest of the groups Pokemon waiting for them to attack as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu run around Seismitoad with Quick Attack!" Ash calls Pikachu quickly dashes forward and begins to run around Seismitoad. The big toad smirks as it knows what they're trying to do Seismitoad jumps as it sees Pikachu was going to hit its legs with Iron Tail Ash then calls for his next commands.

"Krabby use Crabhammer and Charmeleon use Dragon Claw!" Ash calls Krabby and Charmeleon jump at Seismitoad going to hit it from both sides. Seismitoad smiles and counters both attacks with drain punch Krabby is knocked away with Graveler catching it while Charmeleon is able to hold its ground impressing Seismitoad. Charmeleon begins to heat up its mouth as Ash speaks.

"Charmeleon use Flamethrower!" Ash calls Charmeleon quickly fires the fire right in Seismitoad's face, Seismitoad falls on the ground groaning a little in pain it wasn't expecting Flamethrower to be powerful that's why it didn't dodge Ash and Brock then call for their next moves.

"Pikachu Iron Tail! and Krabby use Vice grip" Ash calls Pikachu covers its tail in steel energy as it and Krabby jump forward.

"Graveler use Rock Smash!" Brock calls Graveler covers it fists in red energy and jumps forward too. When all three Pokémon make it to Seismitoad they all hit it in the stomach damaging the Pokemon greatly and lowering its defense. Instead of being angry Seismitoad smiles at this as it loves being challenged and pushed to the edge. When the 3-mons jump away Seismitoad smiles as it jumps forward using Brick Break on Krabby and Graveler knocking them on the ground and knocking them out leaving Brock with no more Pokemon to battle. Misty still has Vaporeon who's injured, and Ash has Pikachu and Charmeleon left who haven't taken much damage Ash then looks at Misty and speaks.

"Misty I'll have Pikachu and Charmeleon weaken Seismitoad as much as they can then you use Vaporeon to finish it" Ash says with Misty nodding as Hunter D speaks.

"Like those two weaklings can beat Seismitoad hahaha!" Hunter D says while laughing with his Poilwrath and underlings laughing as well Raichu and Wimpod are unable to do anything but continue to watch as the three Pokemon glare at each other Seismitoad then roars.

"Toad!" Seismitoad yells as it fires a Hydro Pump it heads for Pikachu and Charmeleon as Ash speaks.

"Pikachu counter with Thunderbolt and Charmeleon charge at Seismitoad with Dragon Claw!" Ash calls Pikachu fires the electric bolt that clashes with the Hydro Pump creating an explosion. Charmeleon quickly charges forward its covers its claws in green dragon energy and goes to attack Seismitoad.

"Toad!" Seismitoad yells as it decided to counter with Brick Break, Charmeleon and Seismitoad clash they keep going back and forth not letting the other get the upper hand with both landing hits on each other. Seismitoad then uses Drain Punch on Charmeleon's stomach causing the fire lizard to cough in pain as its energy is drained but it won't go down yet as fire begins to form from its mouth as Ash speaks.

"Charmeleon use Fire Fang!" Ash calls Charmeleon heats up its mouth with fire and bites hard on Seismitoad's arm. Seismitoad yells in pain but hits Charmeleon the head using Brick Break with its free arm forcing Charmeleon to let go as its slams face first on the ground. Charmeleon then struggles to get up Seismitoad notices and is about to hit Charmeleon with another Brick Break but stops as it's consumed in flames.

"TOAD!" Seismitoad yells in pain at the fire burning its body, Hunter D and his underlings have a shocked expression as Charmeleon smiles Ash then calls for his next command.

"Now Pikachu use Iron Tail!" Ash calls Pikachu shoots forward covers its tail in steel energy and hits the burning Seismitoad in the stomach knocking the big toad 5 feet away. Hunter D along with his men have surprised looks on their faces as D speaks.

"No this can't be happening come on Seismitoad don't lose to these kids!" Hunter D yells as Seismitoad stands back up. The toad has a smile on its face it's happy that these kids Pokemon are giving it a challenge. Seismitoad then looks over at Vaporeon as Misty speaks.

"Now Vaporeon use Hydro Pump!" Misty calls Vaporeon fires the Hydro Pump hoping to end this battle. Hunter D has a smile on his face Brock notices and quickly realizes why he's smiling as he speaks.

"Vaporeon Stop!" Brock yells hoping Vaporeon stops time Ash and Misty look at him in confusion, but Brock was too late. When the Hydro Pump hits Seismitoad instead of defeating Seismitoad the Hydro Pump heals Seismitoad to full heath shocking the group as Hunter D laughs.

"Hahahahaha did you not know that Seismitoad's ability is water absorb? You kids are done now!" Hunter D says while laughing Misty realizes her mistake and speaks.

"How can I be so stupid" Misty says to herself while gritting her teeth as Hunter D and his underlings continue to laugh making the group angry as D speaks.

"Now Seismitoad defeat those Pokémon!" D says as Seismitoad charges at Pikachu and Charmeleon to continue their battle. Raichu and Wimpod look on in horror as the people and Pokémon who were protecting them are now in serious trouble. They try to wriggle out of Poilwrath's arms but it's holding them tightly. Raichu looks on as it sees Pikachu and Charmeleon getting seriously injured Raichu decided it's had enough as Psychic energy begins to flow through its body. Wimpod notices Raichu it looks up at Poilwrath and spits sand in its eyes.

"Poil!" Poilwrath cries in pain as it goes to rub its eyes its grip on Wimpod loosens, the little bug is able to land back on the ground safely and quickly dashes away. Poilwrath sees Wimpod running away its about to chase after it but notices Raichu glowing and gets scared. Hunter then looks over at Poliwrath and speaks.

"What's wrong Poli-" Before D could finish, he and his underlings turn around they see Raichu glowing with Psychic energy the energy continues to build and build until Raichu yells.

"RAI!" Raichu yells as it unleashes a powerful Psychic attack that knocks out Poilwrath and knocks the hunters away. The group and Seismitoad look back at what happened and are impressed. Raichu still angry looks at Seismitoad and fires a Psychic on the toad which connects. Raichu then holds Seismitoad up in the air, Seismitoad tries to break free but can't it then sees Raichu charging up a Focus Blast as Brock speaks.

"To be able to hold Seismitoad in the air with Psychic and charge a Focus Blast at the same time is impressive" Brock says with Ash and Misty nodding. Raichu's done charging and fire's the Focus Blast hitting Seismitoad creating an explosion. The big toad falls on the ground groaning in pain, even though Focus Blast isn't a super effective move it did a lot of damage. But this makes Seismitoad excited it then begins to charge towards Raichu.

"Get out of there Raichu!" Ash calls but Raichu stands her ground as she uses Grass Knot which trips Seismitoad causing more damage Seismitoad is about to get up again but sees Wimpod in front of its face as D speaks.

"Come on Seismitoad knock that weak bug away!" D yells with Seismitoad nodding as it goes to hit Wimpod with a Brick Break Wimpod dodges and fires a Sand Attack in Seismitoad's eyes causing Seismitoad to scream in pain.

"TOAD!" Seismitoad yells as it begins to furiously start rubbing its eyes it also suffers from burn damage too as D speaks.

"Seismitoad look up!" D yells when Seismitoad's able to finally get rid of the sand out of its eyes it looks up and sees what look like 3 Pokémon falling towards it. It sees Ash's Pikachu and Charmeleon alongside Misty's Vaporeon they're about to hit Seismitoad with Iron Tail, Dragon Claw and Quick Attack as D yells.

"SEISMITOAD DODGE!" D yells in worry Seismitoad is about to dodge but it's being held in place it looks and sees Raichu smirking holding it with Psychic as Ash and Misty yell.

"GOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ash and Misty yell as their Pokémon roar and hit Seismitoad with their moves causing a big explosion. Once the dust clears it shows Pikachu, Charmeleon and Vaporeon standing over the now defeated Seismitoad. Hunter D along with his 2 underlings have surprised looks on their faces as D yells.

"OHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" D yells with his underlings doing the same while the gang smile and cheer.

"We did it!" Ash, Misty, Brock and their Pokémon cheer, Raichu and Wimpod run over to the group. Raichu goes to Ash, Pikachu and Charmeleon while Wimpod goes over to Misty, Vaporeon and Brock. Ash looks at Raichu then speaks.

"You were amazing Raichu" "Char" "Pika" Ash says with Charmeleon and Pikachu agreeing Raichu gets a small blush from the complement as Brock speaks.

"You Did great Wimpod" Brock says Wimpod is happy to hear Brock say that the little bug then looks over at Misty who's healing Vaporeon the little bug crawls over to them scaring the two in the process as it speaks.

"Wimp?" Wimpod says with a look of interest on its face as Misty speaks.

"Hi Wmpod, you did amazing too" "Va" Misty and Vaporeon say nervously, this makes Wimpod happy as it goes to rub its head on Misty leg scaring her in the process making Ash and Brock laugh until they turn and see Seismitoad stand up the toad looks at them surprising the group as D speaks.

"Hahaha, I knew you couldn't have lost Seismitoad now use Hydro Pump on those brats!" D commands Ash, Brock, Misty and their Pokémon get ready, they wait a few moments, but Seismitoad doesn't fire the move it instead turns around walking away from the group going to its trainer.

"Seismitoad what are you doing attack them!" D yells but Seismitoad continues to walk to D making him and his underlings scared Seismitoad is now in front of D and points its finger to its Pokeball.

"Ah I see you want to rest but you can do that after you take care of those kids and their Pokémon besides, I'm your trainer you have to do what I say!" D says in a sinister tone while holding Seismitoad's Pokeball making Seismitoad a little angry.

"Toad" Seismitoad says as it grabs its Pokeball from D and crushes it with its hand shocking everyone. D has a surprised look on his face, he looks at the toad and yells.

"YOU STUPID TOAD WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" D yells but Seismitoad smirks as it begins to walk away, D was about to go after it but hears a voice behind him.

"Hey what's going on here?" A voice says. Everyone turns around as they see a woman with brown hair, she looks at Hunter D then speaks.

"I was told to meet Hunter D here would that be you?" The brown-haired woman asks as D speaks.

"Yes, that would be me you must be my client" D says having a smile on his face with the woman nodding her head as she looks around seeing just how destroyed the forest is. As she continues to look her eyes widen when she sees Raichu and Wimpod.

"You actually got a female Alolan Raichu and a Wimpod I'm impressed" The woman says happily as Hunter D speaks.

"Yes, but as you can see these brats got in our way, so I just need to deal with them first before I give you the Pokemon" D says with a smile as Ash, Misty and their Pokémon get ready. Brock has his finger on his head and begins to think. Misty looks at him and speaks.

"What's wrong Brock?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.

"I don't know why but I feel as though I've met this woman before" Brock responds while still thinking. The woman then looks at the kids and speaks.

"So, you've been having trouble with these kids?" The woman asks walking next D the man looks at her and speaks.

"Yep, but don't worry I'll take care of these brats and ge—" Hunter D was about to finish but is then tackled to the ground with his hands behind his back and his hands being put in handcuffs. D then looks at the woman and yells.

"Hey what do you think you're doing?!" D yells and gets his answer once the woman takes off her disguise, he and his underlings have a horrified expressions on their faces when they see its Officer Jenny as she speaks.

"Hunter D you are under arrest for poaching Pokémon" Officer Jenny says while on D's back as he struggles to break free his underlings try to make a run for it but two fire puppy like Pokémon stop them as two more Police officers appear putting the two of them in handcuffs as well. D continues to look at Jenny and speaks.

"Are you telling me were our client from the very beginning?!" D asks in anger as Jenny speaks.

"Not at first 3 days ago we found and arrested the woman who made the deal with you I just put on a disguise and changed my voice a little bit so you would think I was your client. It's also convenient that those kids were able to stop you as well" Jenny responds making D angry as he is then put into a Police car Jenny then walks over to Ash, Misty, and Brock she looks at them then speaks.

"Thank you for your service today I don't think we would've been able to defeat D's Pokémon if you hadn't defeated them" Jenny says with a salute then smile. Ash, Misty and their Pokémon nod while Brock continues to look at the woman then remembers.

"Hey, aren't you the Jenny from Cerulean City?" Brock asks making Ash and Misty look at him confused as Jenny speaks.

"Yep, that's me and now that I look at you aren't you the kid that tried asking me out on a date?" Jenny asks with Brock nodding his head as he speaks.

"So now that we've defeated Hunter D will you reconsider my offer?" Brock asks happily as Jenny speaks.

"Sorry but like I told you before I'm not interested in dating kids" Jenny says as Brock puts his head down in disappointment.

"Why can't I have a girlfriend?" Brock says in a sad tone while curled into a ball as Pikachu, Charmeleon and Vaporeon go to console him. Jenny then walks over to Raichu and Wimpod who are hiding behind Ash and Misty respectively.

"Hello there Raichu and Wimpod, I'm sorry you two were taken from your home if you want, I can take you back to the Alola region" Jenny suggests surprising the two Pokémon as they begin to think. For Wimpod it does miss its home but feels once it goes back it'll just get picked on like last time also the other Wimpod didn't even come to help it when it was being taken away Wimpod then gives its answer.

"Wimp" Wimpod shakes its head disapproving of going back as it begins to rub on Misty's leg more showing that it wants to stay with her, Misty looks at Wimpod curiously.

"Wait you really want to come with me Wimpod?" Misty asks with Wimpod nodding its head happily as Misty looks at Officer Jenny.

"Would that be okay with you Officer Jenny?" Misty asks with Jenny nodding and smiling.

"That's fine with me I can tell Wimpod really likes you and I'm not going to force it to go back home if it doesn't want to" Jenny responds making Misty happy as she bends down looking at Wimpod at eye level with a Pokeball in her hand.

"So, you ready to join me Wimpod my dream is to one day become a Water Pokémon Master you may be part bug which does scare me but I hope you'll be able to help me with my dream" Misty says as she rubs Wimpod's head and realizing how soft it is making her smile Wimpod then pokes its head on the Pokeball the ball doesn't shake once as it's an instant capture making Misty smile.

"Maybe bugs aren't so bad after all" Misty says to herself as she yells.

"I just caught a Wimpod!" Misty says while copying Ash's pose making the boy a little annoyed but doesn't mind as he's happy for his friend, Misty walks over to Brock and Vaporeon who are happy for her, Ash then looks over to Raichu who's still thinking. Raichu's life for the most part has been pretty good even though it was alone for a long time. It didn't mind it also the people and Pokémon in Alola were very kind to it when it was Pichu they took good care of it and fed it as well. Once she evolved into a Pikachu, she wanted to be able to fend for herself. She evolved into a Pikachu 7 days ago, so it really didn't get the chance to experience being a Pikachu for long since D forced it to evolve. Raichu looks at Ash, his Pikachu, Charmeleon and their friends one more time as Raichu makes her choice.

"Rai" Raichu says as it floats up to Ash's right shoulder wanting to travel with him. Ash has a surprised look on his face as Jenny speaks.

"You're saying you want to travel with this boy Raichu?" Jenny asks with Raichu nodding in agreement Jenny smiles and speaks.

"Sounds fine to me I just know he'll take good care of you" Jenny says with a smile, Ash then takes out one of his empty Pokeball's he looks at Raichu then speaks.

"Hey Raichu thanks for wanting to travel with me my dream is to one day become a Pokémon master seeing you battle today makes me really excited to test out your skills" Ash says happily, Raichu smiles back it's a little worried how it will perform in battles but it looks over at Pikachu the yellow mouse gives it a reassuring look making Raichu calm as it touches the empty Pokeball and is immediately sucked inside. Like Wimpod the ball doesn't shake once and is an instant catch making Ash, Pikachu and Charmeleon happy.

"Alright I just caught an Alolan Raichu!" "Pi Pikachu!" "Char!" Ash, Pikachu and Charmeleon say happily doing their pose. Ash then looks at Misty and speaks.

"See Misty that's how you do it" Ash says with a smug look with Misty rolling her eyes, Raichu's Pokeball then disappears from Ash's hand going straight to Prof. Oak's lab as Jenny speaks.

"Well, it was great seeing you kids, and you don't have to worry about Hunter D or his gang anymore as they'll be in prison for a long time" Jenny says with the group nodding before Jenny leaves Ash asks her a question.

"Hey Officer Jenny, what about D's Seismitoad? it crushed its own Pokeball and left it's now in the wild somewhere" Ash asks Jenny thinks for a few seconds then speaks.

"Hmmmm I wouldn't worry about it if what you say is true then I don't think Seismitoad will cause any harm" Jenny responds as Ash asks her another question.

"Do you know why Seismitoad would leave?" Ash asks as Brock speaks.

"During the battle I noticed that whenever D gave Seismitoad a command it didn't like it, so I think Seismitoad just lost interest in being with a Pokémon hunter and wants to do something else" Brock responds with Ash nodding his head in understanding as Jenny.

"Well kids I hope the rest of your journey goes well goodbye" Jenny says as she alongside the Police car's next to her drive off.


20 minutes later the group are now in the Pokémon center they just got their Pokémon healed up Ash is now calling Prof. Oak. The phone rings 3 times until it stops the old man appears on the screen and speaks.

"Hello this is Prof. Oak how may I oh Ash my boy are you calling to make another transfer?" Oak asks happily with Ash nodding his head as he speaks.

"Yes, I would like to have Raichu on my team it's still young and had a bad experience with a Pokémon hunter recently, so I just want it on my team for a little while" Ash says with Oak nodding.

"Sounds good to me and who will you be sending over?" Oak asks as Ash speaks.

"I'll be sending over Gyarados I think it needs a break from battling for a while I'll also be sending over Krabby as well. Even though I just caught Krabby recently the two of them have a really strong bond already and I'm sure Krabby wants to continue training with Gyarados too" Ash responds with Oak smiling.

"That's great Ash, Daisy and I have been interested in your Gyarados for a while now so it would be great to study it, I have Raichu's Pokeball with me so let's begin the transfer" Oak says with Ash nodding they place the Pokeball's on the transfer machine as the Pokeball's vanish before reappearing again.

"I got Raichu's Pokeball Professor" Ash says while showing the Pokeball with Oak smiling and showing that both Gyarados's and Krabby's Pokeball's have made it safely. The old man looks at Ash then speaks.

"Is there anything else Ash?" Oak asks Ash thinks for a bit then speaks.

"Oh, um how's Clefable doing is she getting better?" Ash asks curiously as Oak speaks.

"Yes, she's starting to feel a lot better Bulbasaur and Pidgeotto did a really good job comforting it, Clefable has also been training and helping Daisy take care of any sick or injured Pokémon on the ranch she's a really good caretaker" Oak says with Ash smiling knowing that Clefable is doing great. Ash looks at the old man and speaks.

"Thanks for telling me Prof. Oak and I believe that's everything I wanted so thank you and tell my mom I said hi" Ash says with Oak nodding as they both end the call; Ash then walks over to where Misty and Brock are sitting. When he makes it Misty looks at him and speaks.

"So did you get Raichu's Pokeball?" Misty asks with Wimpod laying in her lap as Ash speaks.

"Yep, Raichu come on out!" Ash says as Raichu comes out of its Pokeball doing a few loops in the air before floating next to Ash and Pikachu it looks over at Wimpod as they both smile at each other. Ash then looks at Raichu and speaks.

"I'm happy that you're doing great Raichu and from now on let's train hard together" "Pikachu" Ash and Pikachu say happily Raichu looks at them with a determined look wanting to test out her new powers more. Brock smiles he then looks over to his right and sees a poster for a Pokémon breeding competition but that's not the thing that gets him excited it would be the girl on the poster Brock quickly runs over happily as Ash and Misty quickly follow.

"Brock what's wrong?" Ash asks as he and Misty catch up to him the teen speaks.

"Look at this poster" Brock says pointing to the poster as Ash and Misty begin to read.

"There will be a Pokémon breeding competition being held in the northern part of Vermillion City tomorrow" Misty reads as Ash speaks.

"Whoa that's great Brock you're going to compete?!" Ash asks with excitement as Brock speaks.

"Maybe but look its Suzie the best Pokémon breeder in the world she'll be having a store next to the competition giving out free tips on Pokémon breeding I have to meet her and learn as much as I can" Brock says excitedly Ash and Misty are happy to see that Brock wants to improve as a Pokémon Breeder as he continues to speak.

"And maybe she'll become my girlfriend" Brock says with hearts in his eyes causing Ash, Misty and even their Pokémon have some sweat coming down from their heads.


It's now nighttime on route 10 close to rock tunnel we see Hunter D's Seismitoad in gauged in a battle with none other than Paul's Grotle both Pokémon look very injured and tired as they're both panting heavily. Paul looks at Seismitoad and speaks.

"You're the first one so far to give Grotle this much trouble in battle I'm impressed" Paul says with a smile Seismitoad then charges forward going to hit Grotle with Brick Break hoping to end the battle as Paul speaks.

"Use Leaf Storm" Paul calls Grotle summons a big tornado of leaves that consume Seismitoad the Pokémon roars in pain as it then falls on the ground in defeat. The last thing it sees is a Pokeball hitting its head Seismitoad smiles as it finally found a trainer who'll use it to its full potential. Seismitoad is sucked inside the ball shakes 2 times before dinging showing that the capture is complete Paul walks over to the Pokeball and picks it up. He looks at it for a few moments gets a small smile as he returns Grotle he then begins to walk to the Pokémon Center.

Thank you for reading if you've made it this far. That's chapter 9 how do you guys feel about Ash catching a Alolan Raichu and Misty catching a Wimpod? Paul now has Hunter D's Seismitoad who gave the group a lot of trouble Seismitoad will prove to be a very powerful Pokémon on Paul's team growing stronger giving Ash and Pokémon a tough challenge in the future.

Next time the first half of the chapter will mainly focus on Brock entering the breeding competition and the second half will be the start of the SS. Anne tournament where the gang will reunite with old friends and make new rivals.
