The trio arrived at a door with the number plate 391. Gary knocked on it and a young girl with blue and red hair shyly opened it to beckon them in.
"Welcome to my humble abode, I guess…"
The lights were dimly lit and the only conspicuous part was the setup she had on her table with some advanced tech and monitors.
"Someone get some light in here, this place is where zombies slumber." Gary remarked.
"Uh, Gary, your room back home is identical to this one. The obnoxious pc setup and the lack of any decorations and all." Ash raised an eyebrow at his friend.
"A man needs no more than that to live a fulfilling life." Gary huffed.
"How can that be true when Pokemon exists?" Ash threw the question.
"That too is also necessary." Gary admitted to Ash's logic.
"…I think we're both missing the point somewhere." Now Ash felt lost at where he was getting at.
"Yeah, what you only need in life is to have constant Pokemon battles!" Nemona asserted confidently.
"…I think I might've made a huge mistake." The girl whispered to herself.
"You say something?" Ash asked.
"No, nothing. Make yourselves comfortable before we get to discuss."
"And you are?" Gary found himself a chair and plopped down, directing his attention to the owner of the room.
"Penny…Penny Botan. I'm Cassiopeia's assistant. The situation has been hectic and has caused them to be busy, so they won't be available for now. I shall be speaking on their behalf for this conversation." Penny twiddled her thumbs together while keeping her gaze down from her chair.
"I'm surprised and worried you've been colluding with someone so suspicious, Penny!" Nemona exclaimed.
"You know her?" Ash asked.
"She's a fellow student at my school. Wasn't imagining her to be involved with a crime syndicate from another region."
"Kinda unavoidable when the entire school is being targeted…" Penny muttered to herself.
"Hmm…" The gears grinded inside Gary's head as he studied her words and gestures.
"Anyways, let's talk about the more important stuff! Like Team Rocket being on the St. Anne!" Ash asserted to draw everyone to the same topic.
"Cassiopeia hacked into the ship's network and eavesdropped on some Team Rocket grunts hiding in parts of the ship." Penny changed her demure demeanor and got to speaking clearly on the heavy subject. "They couldn't make out everything, but they were able to piece together the bigger picture on their goals. For one thing, this cruise on the St. Anne was sponsored entirely by Team Rocket."
"You mean to say the captain and crew are in on it!?" Nemona was caught off guard by the implication and shouted incredulously. Penny shook her head to deny it.
"The captain and crew aren't aware nor are they a part of this operation. Team Rocket was working from behind the scenes to make this possible, to ensure there's no deeper connection and for others to not connect the dots. They want people to think it's a raid rather than a trap they devised."
Penny typed on her keyboard and several monitors revealed images of Team Rocket grunts sneaking around the hallways and hiding from plain sight in some corners.
"That's a lot of grunts!" Ash widened his eyes at the numbers he was seeing.
"Just how many are there? Everyone could get overwhelmed if they all decide to attack at the same time!" Nemona said with trepidation.
"Hold your horses." Gary told them to pipe down and they turned their attention to him. "The grunts are pushovers, they don't hold a candle to us."
"Yeah, that's talking individually, we're talking about them coming in droves." Penny flatly said. "Well, I'm not really strong myself…"
Gary's confidence did not wane in the slightest. "For starters, give me an estimate on their numbers."
"Around 200, I think." Penny answered.
"We can manage those numbers." He held a contemplative face. "Ash, you'll convince everyone on the ship to coordinate together on an offense against them. You were pretty good at it."
"Me?" Ash pointed to himself nervously. "What can I do?"
"Hand out one of those inspiring speeches you perform, duh." Gary rolled his eyes as if it was the most obvious answer. "As for me, I'll round them up to one place so we can catch them all in one fell swoop. The main ballroom where the battles are taking place should do as that's where the Trainers are most concentrated at."
"How are you gonna do that?" Nemona asked
"I know how to use the Aura barrier techniques. There's one which encloses the space for a target to move within. The Team Rocket grunts will find themselves trapped and forced to convene at the ballroom in this way."
"You learned how to use Aura? And even barrier techniques!?" Ash and the rest widened their eyes.
"Yeah, barriers are one of the most basic elements to learn. What exactly have you been learning?" Gary shot the question at him.
"Ah, well, combat techniques and barriers only for self-protection…" Ash scratched his head.
"Seems like you can do no more than be the muscle."
"Hold on a minute, you two can use superpowers?" Nemona interjected.
"And muscle two appears to be full of energy." Gary spared her a glance. "We can indeed use Aura."
"Prove it." Penny pressed.
Ash opened his palm and formed a miniature Aura Sphere in his hand. The two girls were caught off guard by the sudden display of mystic arts in the hands of another human being.
"That is so cool!" Nemona was very welcoming of what she was seeing.
"Recruiting two superhumans was not what I was expecting on this trip…" Penny muttered under her breath.
"Penny, give a layout of the ship." Gary snapped his fingers.
A map of the ship was outlined on Penny's monitors and Gary studied them carefully. He proceeded to write something on a piece of paper and showed it to everyone.
"This is a rune for building the barrier I was talking about earlier." Gary said.
"What do fancy characters have to do with Aura?" Ash asked dimly and made his best friend sigh.
"Ash, are you aware of the term kotodama?" Gary's voice was exasperated.
"Uh, no." Ash blankly replied.
"We really need to work on your understanding of Kanto's culture. Kotodama literally means the power of language. It's the belief that names and words have supernatural power and influence. Our understanding of it likely stems from the mythical Pokemon, Unown. They are Pokemon who have the shapes of alphabet characters and can perform miracles when gathered together to form a word." Gary explained.
"I see…" Ash nodded along, taking in the information half-heartedly. Nemona's brain CPU was currently frying. Penny was the only one who followed along and understood it perfectly.
"Runes follow the same principle. Sir Aaron made use of them in his teachings of Aura. I want you guys to draw this rune around these parts of the ship in places that make them hard to see. These runes will work as the boundary of the barrier and extend its area of influence."
"Got it. So we'll be acting like hooligans vandalizing the ship with spray paint to save the day." Nemona clamped her fist to her hand, proud of what she had surmised after that explanation.
"A surprisingly fitting comparison." Penny admitted.
Gary was satisfied to see the group understood the plan. "Great, we'll get started right away."
"Now!?" Ash exclaimed.
"Of course we do it now. If we relax, our advantage goes away. Take too long and Team Rocket could take over the ship in a matter of a few days. There's no doubt they have grunts among the ship's staff. That means they could take away the food and healing facilities, dramatically weakening our manpower." Gary added with a serious face.
"What do you suppose we should do after beating Team Rocket?" Penny asked.
"Convince the captain to steer the ship back to Vermillion City." Gary answered.
"Great idea. Then we can hand them over to the authorities and become heroes!" Nemona cheered.
"I say we throw Team Rocket overboard." Gary provided in a clear voice.
"Gary!" Ash shouted. "We should totally do it!" He and Gary grinned at each other.
"Haha, you two are just messing around, right?" Nemona nervously chuckled. It's a good thing she didn't see Penny nodding in agreement with their idea.
"Oh c'mon, I'm not that cruel. We'll give them lifeboats to drift aimlessly in the middle of the ocean. Anything that happens after that will depend on their luck." Gary slyly smiled.
"Yikes, he's a sadist…" Nemona felt a chill crawl up her back.
"I'll be staying in this room to monitor the ship. Here are earpieces so I can let you know if I or Cassiopeia's spot any movement." Penny handed out the equipment to everyone.
With the plan set, the unlikely group dispersed to foil Team Rocket's heist.
Much time passed and Ash reunited with his friends in the main ballroom. The battles raged as fiercely as when he got on the ship around them.
"Where have you been, Ash?" Misty asked.
"Yeah, I wasn't expecting you to miss out on the battles. Let me tell you, a lot of crazy stuff happened while you were missing." Brock added.
"There's no time for that, you guys. I have to tell you something, Team Rocket is on the ship!" Ash said with an urgent voice.
"So those three followed us even here." Misty was displeased.
"Those guys are really insistent on stealing Pikachu, huh." Brock narrowed his eyes.
"Oh no, not those three." Ash waved his hand to dispel the idea. "I'm talking about an entire group of Team Rocket grunts! They're crawling all over the ship!"
""What!?"" Misty and Brock shouted.
"Yeah, Gary and some other people figured out their plan to steal the Pokemon on the ship." Ash hastily informed.
"This is serious, we gotta do something about it!" Misty forwarded.
"Let's think about this calmly. We need a plan. Not to mention we have to take the safety of everyone on this ship into account…" Brock quickly advised.
"Oh, we already formed one. It's been proceeding the whole time." Ash answered calmly.
""Are you serious!?"" Misty and Brock complained.
"Get your Pokemon ready, because we're about to have a rumble between Team Rocket and the students of Naranja Academy, including us!" An enthusiastic grin was plastered on Ash's face.
His two friends still had some complaints in their hearts, but they were ready nonetheless with their hands tightly gripping their Poke Balls.
Ash made his way to the center of the room. He pulled out a speaker given to him by Gary and only god knows why he had one on hand.
"Good evening, students of Naranja Academy! I hope you've all had a thrilling experience on the ship today!" Ash spoke and his voice was amplified by the speaker for everyone in the room to hear.
A cascade of whispers spread in the crowd, wondering who he is.
"Who I am is not important. What we all should be considering is how to elevate the excitement. It's been made clear in the battles that have occurred in this room that all of you love Pokemon!"
Many cast weird gazes on Ash, but their attention was drawn to him as he spoke.
"Everyone has raised wonderful Pokemon that they treasure immensely. It's enough to warrant that you and your Pokemon are inseparable!"
Ash scanned the crowd and noticed around the perimeter are some faces he recognized from the monitors in Penny's room.
Those must be Team Rocket grunts. Good, they can't help themselves to the thought of stealing the Pokemon here and have shown themselves.
Cassiopeia's voice came through from Ash's earpiece. [Ash, the grunts are being drawn in to your location. Gary said the barrier barred people with Team Rocket's "R" symbol on their clothes from passing through. He then changed the barrier's formula to connect with the runes within the barrier, shrinking its size and forcing them to move inwardly to the ballroom.]
Then I better end this quickly and get the party started!
"But there are villains who are way too eager to sever the bond between you and your Pokemon, people whose hearts are full of greed. That's right, I'm talking about Team Rocket! They've got their dirty gazes crawling around our Pokemon since we came aboard the St. Anne, including this room!"
Gasps of shock resounded as Ash unveiled the truth. Many did not take his words at face value and remained skeptical. Others were getting scared by the possibility of a group of criminals snatching their Pokemon.
Now how do I expose Team Rocket in this room?
"It seems the twerp has a silver tongue on his lips." A female voice cut through the noise.
The lights of the chandeliers went off and the room descended into darkness. As panic ensued, a beam of light shot down. Eyes turned to two figures standing on an elevated table that rose above everyone else.
"To protect the world from devastation!" That same female voice began with a dramatic flair.
"To unite all peoples within our nation…" The man of the two was speaking in a depressed voice however.
"To denounce the evils of "Truth" and "Love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above…"
"Jessie."
"James…"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Hah…surrender now or prepare to fight…"
"Meowth, That's right!" A talking Meowth descended on the table within the middle of the two, finishing the two's speech.
"Uhh…" Ash stared dumbfoundedly. "Looks like I don't need to anymore if they're going to expose themselves."
"What are you thinking, you bottom-feeders!?"A voice from the edge of the crowd bashed them.
"You've exposed our positions and gave strength to that brat's words!"
"Huh? Were we not supposed to reveal ourselves and declare we'd steal their Pokemon?" Jessie was confused by her comrades' behavior. "Everyone's regrouped into one area, so I thought now's the time!"
"A classic stunt from Team Rocket." Brock smiled with amusement. "They're so confident in winning, they'll unknowingly shoot themselves in the foot and lose all they've gained."
"This day couldn't get any worse!" A grunt grumbled.
"It was already bad enough that we couldn't get through an invisible wall, that same wall pushed us into this room!" Another grunt lamented.
"Since the cat's out of the bag, we'll be taking all of your Pokemon!" Jessie jabbed a finger to the crowd and declared Team Rocket's intent.
Before fear could take hold of the students, Ash walked forward. "If my Pokemon are going to be taken, I'd rather put up a fight! Don't take our bonds lightly! If everyone strikes as one, we will be the victors!"
"He's right!"
"I think…it might be possible!"
"I won't let anyone take my Pokemon!"
The crowd was stirred by Ash's words and went rowdy. Misty and Brock were similarly invigorated and smiled fearlessly, joining the fever.
"Arrogant brats!" One grunt was severely annoyed by the students unifying as one and dispelling their own fears towards them. "That one kid has ruined everything!"
"Stop complaining and fight already!" Another grunt tore off their disguise to reveal their Team Rocket uniform underneath. "Since they've chosen to resist, we'll use force without hesitation!"
The grunts threw their Poke Balls and released dozens of Pokemon. They were composed of Zubat, Golbat, Raticate, Nidorino, and Nidoran.
Ash looked to his left and right, finding his friends by his side. "Misty, Brock! Together!" They nodded and mimicked his actions as they glared forward.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
"Geodude, Rock Tomb!"
"Starmie, Psybeam!"
The three attacked at once and coordinated the students to launch their own attacks with them.
"You too, Tadbulb! Work with that Pikachu and use Thunderbolt!"
"Nalstack, you use Rock Tomb as well!"
"Farigiraf, Psybeam as well!"
Many Pokemon from the Paldea region appeared and assisted the trio. A devastating wave of attacks smashed against Team Rocket's Pokemon and flung them far back to the wall.
"Our Pokemon are overwhelmed by a bunch of children!?"
"Move aside, we elites will take the lead!"
Some grunts from upper ranks moved forward and released their Pokemon. A bunch of Nidokings, Nidoqueens, and Rhydons appeared. Their intimidating presence demanded respect and fear as the students' courage faltered.
"Don't let up! Leave those guys to me!" Ash's voice woke them up from their frozen state. He was already on the move with his seamitar unsheathed.
The blade's edge extended as a blue glow enveloped it. In the blink of an eye, Ash crossed the distance and scattered dozens of slashes with Razor Shell. The intimidating Pokemon were swept off their feet and blown back, crashing onto the Team Rocket grunts.
A Rhydon came back to its senses and breathed a Hyper Beam at Ash. The boy flipped back and landed on a chandelier, then jumped to a wall to run across it and kicked the Rhydon to send it wheezing through the air.
Shock consumed the audience. They were in utter awe at the performance Ash had done. He single-handedly overwhelmed the powerful Pokemon and their Trainers in an instant.
"W-Who is that freak!? Nobody told me we'd run into someone like him!"
A grunt called for his team to attack Ash at once. Three Hyper Beams approached him, but a familiar comrade jumped in front and blocked the attacks using a barrier formed from his extended arm.
"Wartortle, Hydro Pump!"
Gary's Wartortle opened his jaw and blasted a high-pressure cannon of water at the grunts' Pokemon.
"You're late." Ash said, turning his back to Gary.
"Nah, the real hero always comes after everyone else to steal all the glory." His friend replied with a confident smile.
A thunderous noise echoed as streaks of lightning crossed the room until Pikachu reached Ash's side and climbed on his shoulder.
The two from Pallet Town were back to back with their Pokemon. As they stared down the grunts surrounding them, a voice came through their earpieces.
[This is Penny! I'm in deep trouble, Team Rocket managed to find out I was hacking the ship's network and my location! I don't think I can escape on my own and they're coming towards my room!]
Gary clicked his tongue. "I knew I'd miss some. There was a possibility that not all the grunts would be wearing their uniforms, so they were exempt from the barrier I made."
"Don't worry, Penny! We'll be there to save you soon!" Ash assured her with an agitated voice.
"You don't have time to be here then. I'll take over this area, so run off with your friends." Gary told him as he called for the rest of his Pokemon to fend off against the grunts.
"Okay!"
Ash split off from Gary and regrouped with Brock and Misty who were busy fighting against their own respective grunts.
"Brock, Misty, I've got someone I need to rescue!"
"You don't need to say anymore, we're going with you!" Brock replied back.
"You can count on that!" Misty confidently said.
The trio ran out of the room and decimated every grunt in their path. On their way they met many straggling Team Rocket grunts and answered them with unrepentant force.
"Give back my Maschiff!" An anguished cry came from a corner and Ash made a detour to reach their location.
"Arven!" Ash exclaimed as he saw Arven on the floor reaching out to a grunt that was running away. He figured out the situation immediately and sprinted towards the grunt in a blur.
The grunt was struck from the back and spewed saliva out. The Poke Ball in his hand fell from his loosened grip and Ash caught it.
Arven was already back on his feet when Ash returned to him. "Ash, you got back my Maschiff! I don't…I don't know how to thank you for that…" He said with immense relief and some tears at the corners of his eyes when his Pokemon's Poke Ball was returned to him.
"I know, I'd hate to be separated from my Pokemon too. It's not safe to be alone right now, you should come with us!" Ash suggested to him.
"I…okay! I don't know what's happening, but sticking with you is much safer, I get that at least!" Arven nodded and joined the group.
With their new comrade in tow, Ash resumed his track towards Penny's location.
Ash halted his steps and looked above him with his eyes concentrated. He could see the Aura of Penny and drew his seamitar. In three slashes, he cut the ceiling and Penny felt the floor below her dropping through the triangular hole he made.
"Eh? Uwaaaahh!" Penny screamed in surprise as she fell. Just in time, Ash hopped and caught her in his arms.
"You okay?" Ash asked the flushed Penny once his feet made contact with the floor.
"Y-Yeah, totally…I'm totally okay…" Penny stuttered as her heart quickened from being held by him.
"Glad to hear it. I rushed over as quickly as I could when I heard you were in danger."
"T-That's very sweet of you…" Penny muttered and averted her gaze, not daring to look at Ash in the eyes.
"I'll put you down if you can walk."
"Quickly do so!" Penny shouted in a hurry. She was still a little shaken when she was standing again. "My legs feel like jelly…"
A loud crash sound came from the floor above them. Everyone craned their necks up with trepidation. Ash eased up when he noticed whose Aura he felt from above and the familiar battle maniac popped her head out from the hole he made.
"Penny, you okay down there!? I was worried and came to your location." Nemona said anxiously.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Ash here saved me." Penny answered back.
"Phew, looks like he got here quicker than I did. As expected of my rival!" Nemona happily said and jumped down to the floor where everyone was at. "I just beat all those grunts and sent them flying to the stratosphere…I'm surprised my Pokemon had such strength!"
"Oh, that happens all the time whenever I encounter a particular trio of Team Rocket's. Anyways, the team's all here except for Gary. Is there anyone else in the same situation as you did, Penny?" Ash asked the timid girl.
"None that I've seen remained in their rooms at this time. The captain issued a warning to the entire ship earlier and everyone ran out except for me. That makes us the only people lost in this corner of the ship."
"Now that you mentioned it, I did hear something like that. Everyone on the ship has probably moved somewhere else." Arven added himself to the conversation.
"In that case, let's not dawdle anymore and reconvene with the rest!" Nemona quickly addressed their next move and everyone agreed.
"Hopefully the captain decided the ship should steer back to port." Brock communicated his thoughts to the group already in motion.
But alas, the ship suddenly tilted sharply and the six of them slided over and slammed against the wall.
"What just happened!?" Misty exclaimed.
"I think the storm outside has worsened!" Brock said. "The strong waves and wind were too much for the ship to stabilize itself under!"
"It can't get any worse, can it!?" Arven shouted anxiously.
The ship rocketed to the other side abruptly and the group slid over the floor once again and slammed against the other wall.
"This is making me dizzy…I'm never getting on a ship again…" Penny queasily said.
"Ay, caramba! Give us a break!" Nemona cursed, struggling to get up.
The ship tilted to the other side again, unheeding of their complaints. This repeated again and again enough times until the ship finally fell to one side and refused to get up again. The constant shaking and crashing like insects trapped in a rattling cage caused the six people to lose their senses until they fell unconscious.
After some time, every passenger on the ship climbed aboard a lifeboat and escaped the sinking St. Anne.
Gary noticed the lack of three people he knew amongst the people huddled within the lifeboats. The irresponsible captain had called for those who hadn't made it to stand up. Gary would like to ask which person decided to hire this asshole to be a captain.
"…There's no way." Gary muttered dumbfoundedly as he watched the St. Anne sank in front of him. "How many bullshit scenarios is that guy going to get roped into!?"
Afterword:
I'm back! I've been playing a romhack of Pokemon Conquest called Pokemon Conquest Ultimate and other kinds of games such Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance when I was gone.
Gary has learned to wield Aura! Guess all that time deciphering Sir Aaron's texts paid off. And our heroes have fallen together with the St. Anne at the bottom of the ocean. Pray for their survival.
Sammy-1000:
If I did include Pokemon Colosseum or any Orre arc, I doubt I would include Rui as a possible harem member.
RKF22:
Here's the chapter you've been waiting for.
Da Lone Ranger:
I'm glad their interactions met your expectations.
Guest:
There's no incest or any possible relationship with the various mother characters in the series for this fanfic.
thanhmacu:
For sure, I will include Ho-Oh and Lugia as Ash's Pokemon. Arceus I have a few plans for it but the possibility of it becoming Ash's Pokemon still remains.
UltimateCCC:
I wouldn't say all of them but it is a huge range.
Guest 2:
Thank you for your encouragement.
Guest 3:
I'm not adding any Nurse Joys or Officer Jennys to the harem. Miette is definitely on the roster though.
NightShark774:
Thank you for the review. Yes, I'm thinking of giving Ash early captures of his canonical Pokemon in this fic and Gengar was one of them. As for Pokemon getting moves they're not supposed to, it might not occur too much but this does serve as a precedent for it to happen. Be sure to expect some Pokemon to get moves that are exclusively from the trading card games.
1. This is a tough one. I'm not certain yet on how to tackle a topic like this. The possibility of Ash becoming immortal or not is up in the air.
2. I can say for certain that Ash will catch a large majority of legendary and mythical Pokemon. As for whether he'd get all of them that too remains to be seen.
3. I explained the 4 move slot rule in a previous chapter but new rules are going to be added later where using more than 4 can happen.
4. The ranger games have a really low chance of happening I'm afraid.
5. Yes I will be taking more from the game and anime. I won't spoil as to whether Lusamine will be like her anime or game counterpart however.
6. Yes, some movie characters are going to get added to the harem.
7. Yes, Brock will get some love of his own in the future. I suppose the three characters who have openly shown attraction to him will become his harem. Suzie, Lucy, and Holly.
8. Some held items will be a thing. I included the Light Ball in the story for example.
9. Yes, there are multiples of the same major legendaries in the story. Some cases are special such as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. There's only one of each in every universe, so there's going to be a different set of them in the universe of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.
10. My favorite generation is 4.
I've been busy playing Pokemon Conquest lately so it did spark some inspiration for a possible arc in the future. If I do go through with it, I'd insert it in the middle of the Unova arc. As for possible characters added to Ash's harem, the list would be the female MC, Oichi, Gracia, Kunoichi, Aya-Gozen, Kaihime, Okuni, Inahime.
Guest 4:
That's quite a dream you had.
Guest 5:
I don't think I'd have time to write a story like that.
Guest 6:
You got it.
Guest 7:
I'm not planning to give every heroine a Riolu.
Guest 8:
Thank you for reading this story.
SRsers:
That's a good idea. I'll implement it now in this chapter.
Guest 9:
Here's the chapter.
Guest 10:
I'll do that.
Guest 11:
Busy stuff happened.
JAUNE117:
I'm not sure if I will do the Jessebelle episodes. As for flashbacks of episodes I skipped over, that might be possible but I'm not confident it will happen.
Guest 12:
I'm glad you agree with me, Queen Ilene is gorgeous.
Guest 13:
Thank you.
Guest 14:
On the topic of Ash having female pokemon in his harem, there's only one way that'll happen in this fic. Have you ever heard of Pokemon gijinka? It's Humanized Pokemon. I was thinking of making the Latias of Alto Mare take a human form wearing a miko outfit, like the one drawn by the artist Merlusa. I've seen the Meloetta from Fighting Dreamers take the form of Psychic Miku and it was such a stroke of genius that I feel like wanting to do the same in my fic.
n.j:
1. Regarding differences between this fanfic and the anime there are kind of a lot as you keep reading.
2. Yes, this fanfic takes place in an AU of the anime with elements of the main core games and other spin offs sprinkled around.
3. Both locations used in the anime/games and anime exclusive locations.
4. There's too many to list so please keep reading to find out more.
5. I'll add ages to the list I'll provide at the bottom of each chapter.
Pokemon acquired:
Pikachu, Butterfree, Pidgeotto, Capsakid, Riolu (egg), Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Krabby, Gengar.
Harem acquired:
Leaf (10), Selene (10), Serena (10), Misty (12), Queen Ilene (20)
