I only own my OCs
Reaching the Indigo Plateau, Ash grinned and said, "We've made it Pikachu, the Indigo League!" Pikachu responded with an excited, "Pika pika!" Korogra nodded, "Yeah." Turning to Ash he said, "Well time to get registered, maybe we'll face each other in a round." Brock said, "Probably. Anyway the guidebook says to register you need to take your Pokédex to the Pokemon center, looks like registration closes in four hours." Ash excitedly said, "Well let's go." Entering the center, Brock went on another romantic spiel seeing Nurse Joy. Korogra and Totodile went wide-eyed as Misty dragged him off by the ear, turning to Ash he asked, "Does he do this every time?" He sighed, "Yes, yes he does. And not just for Nurse Joy but every girl he finds pretty." Facepalming Korogra said, "Oh boy, this is gonna be a long conference. Let's get registered then do some training before the opening ceremony." He nodded, "We should first have Nurse Joy heal our Pokemon from that run in with Team Rocket." Walking to the front desk Nurse Joy asks, "Would you like me to take a look at your Pokemon." They nodded and placed their pokeballs in the tray while Totodile and Pikachu jumped off their shoulders, Korogra then said, "We'd also like to register for the league, we both have the badges we need." She said, "Very well, please place your Pokédex in the slots." A Chansey took both trays to the back and Nurse Joy said, "Okay, everything's set. Good luck in the tournament." Sitting down to wait for their Pokemon to be healed Ash noticed someone come in with a Sandshrew, recognizing him he called, "Hey AJ, it's been awhile!" Noticing him he said, "Hey Ash. So you made it to the league?" Nodding he said, "Yeah, just registered. I'm gonna do some last minute training before the opening ceremony." Turning to Korogra he asked, "You a friend of Ash's?" He responded, "Yep, name's Korogra. Your Sandshrew looks pretty tough." AJ proudly said, "Thanks, my Pokemon and I did some intense training before going to challenge the gyms." He responded, "Cool. That training might payoff, I'm sure you know this already but leagues are tough, far tougher than any gym battle. Hope to battle you later." AJ nodded, "Likewise." Turning to Ash he asked, "Hey Ash, I'd like to battle your Butterfree again. It was pretty strong." Ash sighed, "Sorry to disappoint you AJ, but I don't have Butterfree anymore. I released him cause he fell in love with a wild pink Butterfree." Brightening up he said, "But my Pidgeotto is stronger than ever. Wonder if he'll evolve soon?" Nurse Joy then called, "Ash, Korogra. You're Pokemon are ready." Going to the front desk, Totodile and Pikachu hopped onto their shoulders as they grabbed their pokeballs. Thanking her Korogra said, "Come on Ash, let's get some training in." As they left the Pokemon center a girl asked, "Excuse me, who's the Pokemon on your shoulder?" Turning they say the girl pointing at Korogra, He said, "Oh, that's Totodile. I got him from Professor Elm over in Johto, he's the water-type starter where as the grass-type starter is Chikorita and the fire-type is Cyndaquil." the girl said, "He's so cute!" a moment later she said, "Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Janine Harper from Fuchsia City." Korogra said, "I'm Korogra from New Bark Town, this is Totodile." Totodile waved, Ash then said, "I'm Ash, I come from Pallet Town and this is my partner Pikachu." She pounded her fist into her palm, "You must be the trainers Dad mentioned a while back." Raising an eyebrow, Ash asked, "Why would your dad mention us?" She responded, "Oh because he's the Fuchsia City gym leader, Koga." Korogra then said, "Huh? I thought the only other person there was Aya?" Janine said, "Oh you met Aunt Aya? She's as strong as Dad, she tends to run the Gym when he's not there." Ash asked, "You here for the league?" Shaking her head she said, "No, I didn't challenge any gyms. I'm here to train my Pokemon and see how far Dad's challengers can go. Maybe seeing a league will help me become a master of Poison-types like Dad and Aunt Aya."
Korogra said, "You're welcome to watch Ash and me train. If you'd like you can train with us." She said, "Well I'd like to see how gym trainers do things, that way I might be able to see what I need to train in." Nodding they released their Pokemon before saying, "Alright everyone we've made it to the league, there are tons of strong trainers here so we need to be at our best so we're gonna get some heavy training in before the opening ceremony in a couple hours." Their Pokemon nodded and got ready, Ash said, "I want Wartortle and Ivysaur to work on speed, Pidgeotto I want you and Krabby to work on power and Pikachu I want you to help Charizard work on evasion. Sound good?" Korogra said, "Good plan Ash." Turning to his he said, "Fearow you're strong but that won't mean a thing if you miss, Kadabra use your abilities to give her targets to work with it'll also help you control your psychic abilities. Mankey I want you to work with Flareon on defense, finally Totodile and Hitmonchan need to work on both power and speed." Their Pokemon nodded and went to work. An hour later Janine asked, "Shouldn't you guys head back? I think the opening ceremony is starting soon." Ash nodded, "Yeah we probably should." Recalling their Pokemon, they returned to the Pokemon Center and Korogra said, "Hey Nurse Joy, you mind healing up our Pokemon? We just finished some last minute training." She nodded, "Of course, they'll be ready shortly."
Soon enough, the opening ceremony started and on the screen portraits of the trainers appeared before being divided up showing who would battle on what field. Seeing his match was among the first scheduled, Korogra turned to Totodile and said, "Looks like we're gonna get right into it. Ready to give it our all?" Totodile nodded with a simple 'Toto' and they headed to the waiting room of the field they're scheduled for. Janine said, "I'm gonna go find my friends Kris and Leaf, they should be around somewhere." Once called to the field, he noticed his opponent with a cocky grin, ignoring him for the time being he listened to the rules before his opponent sent out a Nidoking that shared the grin of its trainer. Suppressing an angry twitch Korogra threw his pokeball saying, "Mankey, you're up first! And start off with Focus Punch!" Mankey clenched it's fist which began to glow and ran towards Nidoking the other trainer told it to use Earthquake, from the corner of its eye Mankey saw Korogra nod and jumped into the air completely avoiding the earthquake. Mankey's Focus Punch connected to Nidoking's face sending it stumbling panicking the other trainer told Nidoking to use Hyper Beam, Korogra then called, "Mankey take cover with Rock Tomb!" It then jumped behind the rocks it summoned avoiding the Hyper Beam, unfortunately the explosions disoriented Mankey. Korogra muttered, "I need to end this soon, Mankey can't take much more." He then called, "Rock Tomb again, then use Close Combat!" Getting the idea, Mankey summoned more rocks and punched them toward Nidoking pinning it in place while it used a barrage of punches and kicks to weaken it and Korogra said, "Grab the horn and finish it with Seismic Toss!" The last Punch from Close Combat broke through the rocks giving Mankey the chance to grab Nidoking's horn and throw it into the arena wall where it slumped unconscious. The announcer called, "Nidoking is unable to battle, Mankey wins and the match goes to Korogra." Mankey then grins at Korogra before collapsing, Korogra says, "Nice job Mankey, rest up." Before returning it, checking the board he found he was going up against someone named Giselle next but that wasn't for a bit.
