Ash eventually made her way to Viridian City, where she was about to head to the Pokémon Center until she was stopped by a blue-haired policewoman named Officer Jenny.
"Hang on, I need to see your identification," Jenny said.
"Sure," Ash pulled out her Rotom Phone and handed it to Officer Jenny.
"I am Ashley Ketchum's Rotom Phone. I have the functions of a Pokédex, a Map, Ashley's ID & much more," Rotom informed in a female mechanical voice.
"Alright, you're clear," Jenny said, handing Ash back her Rotom Phone
"Thanks," Ash said.
Quickly locating the Pokémon Center, Ash walks through the sliding doors making her way over to the pink haired nurse named Nurse Joy.
"Welcome," Joy smiled. "How can I help you?"
"Hello Nurse Joy I would like to get my Pokémon check up," Ash replied.
"Of course," Joy said, pressing a button on her desk.
A moment later, a pink ovoid-like Pokémon carrying an egg in its pouch came out from the back room, pushing a cart with several indentations for the Pokéballs and padded seats for small Pokémon to sit on.
Ash pulled out her Rotom Phone
Chansey, the Egg Pokémon. A Normal Type. Many other Pokémon just love Chansey Eggs-they're full of nutrients and very tasty. Chansey moves fast and can be hard to find, so catching one is a rare treat.
"Chansey Chan Chansey," Chansey pointed towards the cart.
Ash placed her Pokéballs, Pikachu and Eevee onto the cart.
"Chansey," Chansey pushed the cart towards the treatment room.
"Is there anything else I can help you with?" Joy asked.
"Yes, I would like a room," Ash said. "Oh, and I would like to register for the Pokémon League."
Ash gave Joy her Rotom Phone and she registered her.
"Alright, Ashley Ketchum. You are now registered for the Kanto League," Joy said, handing Ash back her Rotom Phone and a dark blue badge case with a Pokéball symbol in the symbol.
Ash took her Rotom Phone and badge case and placed them in her pocket.
Joy handed Ash a key that had the No.6 on it. "Here you go. Room 6 is just down the hall. Have a lovely day."
"Thank you," Ash said, walking off.
Later...
"Time to call home," Ash said as she dialed her parent's home phone.
"Hello, this is the Ketchum Residence," Delia's voice came from the other side of the line.
"Hi Mom," Ash greeted.
Delia squealed as her image came onto the screen, "Hi honey, is everything alright? Where are you?"
"I'm at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City," Ash answered.
"Wow sweetie that was fast. It took your father four days to reach Viridian City," Delia said.
"Hey, that's only because I took a more scenic route to Viridian," Red said as his wife and daughter laughed.
"Yeah, sure," Delia said in between laughs.
"So princess did you catch anything new?" Red asked.
"I got a Pidgeotto and a Shiny Magikarp," Ash answered.
"That's great sweetie. Be careful," Delia said.
"I will. I love you," Ash said.
"We love you too. Good night," Red and Delia waved as the screen went blank.
"Now Prof. Oak," Ash said as she dialed his number.
"Ah, Ashley are you there?" Oak appeared, only he was facing the wrong way.
"Uhh, Professor?" Ash asked.
"Oops, hang on," Oak said as he typed something and screen the fixed. "There. I see you arrived in Viridian City."
"Yes. I caught a Pidgeotto and a Shiny Magikarp," Ash said.
"Splendid. They may seem like basic Pokémon, but they can take you far in your journey," Oak said.
"They sure can," Ash said.
"Ashley Ketchum, please report to the counter to pick up your Pokémon," Joy called out.
"That's that. Better get going," Ash said.
"Me too. My pizza's here. Bye," Oak said before the screen went blank.
Ash headed to the front counter where she saw Pikachu, Eevee and her other Pokéballs.
"Your Pokémon are all healthy and strong," Joy said.
"Thanks Nurse Joy," Ash said before she turned to Pikachu and Eevee. "How are you feeling?"
"Pika!/Vee!" Pikachu and Eevee said as they jumped on her shoulders and nuzzled her cheeks.
CRASH!
Suddenly, two Pokéballs crashed through the ceiling window and smoke filled the area. Out of the Pokéballs were a purple rattle snake-like Pokémon and a purple spherical Pokémon with a cream colored skull and crossbones below its face.
"Prepare for trouble!" A woman started as the smoke began to disappear. She had long magenta hair and blue eyes, wearing a white top that reached her chest with the letter 'R' on the front, a white skirt, black boots, black gloves and green pearl-shaped earrings.
"And make it double!" A man continued. He had periwinkle shoulder-length hair and green eyes, wearing a white t-shirt with the letter 'R' on the font, white pants, a black shirt underneath, black boots and black gloves.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evil of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!" the woman identified herself.
"James!" the man identified himself.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!" A cream colored cat-like Pokémon with a golden coin-like charm attached to its forehead standing on its two legs ended.
"..." Ash started at them.
"Now that we introduce ourselves, hand over all your Pokémon," Jessie demanded.
"I'm afraid I can't. This is a center for weak and injured Pokémon," Joy said.
"Who cares? We'll have use for them," James said.
"Yeah, so hand them over," Meowth said.
"No way! Pidgeotto, lend me a hand!" Ash sent out Pidgeotto
"Pidgeo!" Pidgeotto appeared as Ash pulled out her Rotom Phone
Ekans, the Snake Pokémon. A Poison Type. Ekans curls itself up in a spiral while it rests. Assuming this position allows it to quickly respond to a threat from any direction with a glare from its upraised head.
Koffing, the Poison Gas Pokémon. A Poison Type. Koffing embodies toxic substances. It mixes the toxins with raw garbage to set off a chemical reaction that results in a terribly powerful poison gas. The higher the temperature, the more gas is concocted by this Pokémon.
Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon. A Normal Type. It lazes about during the day and becomes active at night, when it roams the city streets looking for coins and other shiny objects. It has developed a rivalry with Murkrow.
"Oh please, Ekans use Poison Sting," Jessie said.
"Ekans!" Ekans fired purple darts from its mouth.
"Pikachu Quick Attack," Ash said.
Pikachu became surrounded by a light blue aura, dodged the attack and tackled Ekans.
"Koffing Smokescreen," James said.
"Koffing!" Koffing released thick black smoke from its body.
"Pidgeotto use Gust," Ash said.
"Pidgeotto!" Pidgeotto's wings glowed light blue and blew away the smoke.
"What in that skull of yours thought it was a good idea to use Smokescreen of all things?" Meowth yelled at James.
"Pidgeotto use Wing Attack on Koffing." Pidgeotto's wings glowed light blue and slammed her wings into Koffing.
"My poor Koffing!" James gasped.
"Face my Fury Swipes!" Meowth yelled as he charged with his claws glowing white.
"Pikachu Double Kick." Pikachu kicked Meowth twice, sending him back. "Now Thunder Wave."
"Pika CHUUUU!" Pikachu's cheek pouches glowed yellow & released rings of yellow electricity and paralyzed Team Rocket and their Pokémon. Joy contacted Officer Jenny who came and arrested them.
After that, Ash and her Pokémon headed to her room and fell asleep.
