Ash along with his new partner Pikachu, were travelling through the forest on their way to Vermillion city, with their friends Ritchie and Serena. While traveling they came upon some wild Pokemon. Ash decided they should stop to catch Pokemon. "Yeah! Let's do it!" said Ritchie. "Bet I can catch more Pokemon than you!" said Ash and Pikachu got up on his back legs and charged up his red cheeks to show he was ready and exclaimed" Pika, Pika!" "You're on!" said Ritchie then he and Ash ran off into the forest. "I'll stay here and set up camp for now. Maybe I'll even start lunch." Called Serena to the two boys as they ran off. "Okay!" yelled the two boys back.

Ash and Ritchie were running for a while before they finally came across some Pokemon. There were Caterpie and Weedle eating leaves. "Your mine!" said Ash and Ritchie at the same time. Ritchie called out Charmander and Pikachu jumped forward to fight. "Caterpie your mine! Pikachu use thunder shock on Caterpie." Said Ash. "Charmander use ember on Weedle!" said Ritchie. Pikachu and Charmander attacked the two bug Pokemon who were surprised by the sudden attacks. The attacks knocked the bugs down. "Now go Pokeball." Said ash and Ritchie at the same time at Caterpie and Weedle. The Pokemon went into the Pokeballs and they wiggled three times and beeped indicating the Pokemon were caught. "Alright I caught a Caterpie!" said Ash and he picked up the Pokeball and he and Pikachu struck a pose. "And I caught a Weedle!" said Ritchie as he and Charmander did a pose. "Let's see what the Pokedex says about them." Said Ritchie. "Okay!" said Ash. He and Ritchie pulled out their Pokedex and checked on their Pokemon; Weedle Poison and bug type knows Poison sting and string shot. Caterpie bug type knows string shot and tackle. "Wow so the Pokedex tells us what moves they know! That's so cool!" said Ash. "Yeah! Now let see what other Pokemon are around here I'll go this way." Said Ritchie and he ran off in one direction. "Then we'll go that way." Said Ash and he and Pikachu ran in the other direction to see what Pokemon they could find.

Two hours since Ash and Ritchie left her alone serena had started a fire and was already done make lunch for them and their Pokemon. She didn't know how many Pokemon they were bringing so she made enough to feed a team of Snorlax. When she was done setting up a blanket with the food for herself and the boys, she brought out her Bulbasaur and decided to get to know it a little better. She looked up it's moves on her Pokedex and saw that it knew Razor leaf, vine whip, tackle and leech seed. "Wow! I had no idea you knew so many moves Bulbasaur." Said Serena to Bulbasaur. "Bulba!" exclaimed Bulbasaur with a smile. "Hey! Serena!" yelled Ash as he and Pikachu ran towards them smiling.

"Ash! Hey welcome back!" said Serena back to them as she waved them in. "How was it? "Asked Serena after they had arrived at the campsite. "It was awesome we saw lots of Pokemon, and I caught a couple of them. Right Pikachu?" said Ash. "Pika, Pika!" exclaimed Pikachu. "Well, you guys are just in time for lunch. We're just waiting on Ritchie before we can eat." Said Serena. "Aww!", said Ash and he and Pikachu looked disappointed and sad that they had to wait before they could eat, "can't we just start without him and leave some food for him?" asked Ash while Pikachu gave a pleading look to Serena. "No!" said Serena with a stern look at Ash and Pikachu. "We wait for Ritchie to come back with his Pokemon before we can eat."

"Someone say my name?" asked a voice and when they looked to see who it was, they saw Ritchie emerge from some trees with a Triumphant look on his face. "Sorry I'm late." Said Ritchie with a smile on his face. "Hey welcome back." said Serena. "'kay let's eat!" said Ash. "Yeah!" agreed Ritchie. Ash and Pikachu looked at Serena expectantly. She sighed then said, "Okay but we have to bring out all our Pokemon so they can eat too."

"Okay come out everyone!" said Ash as he released Caterpie, Pidgeotto and a male Nidoran. Ritchie released Charmander, Weedle, a Sparrow and a Rattata. "Cool! You also caught a Sparrow and a Rattata." Said Ash excited at meeting Ritchie's new Pokemon. "Awesome! You caught a Pidgeotto and a Nidoran." Said Ritchie also excited at meeting Ash's new Pokemon. "Come on out Bulbasaur!" said Serena as she brought out her Bulbasaur to meet all the new Pokemon. "Now let's eat!" said Ash happily, and everyone started eating.

Everyone was eating and enjoying their food, except Ash and Pikachu who were having an eating contest to see who could eat more food faster and everyone was watching them eat until they both started choking. Ritchie and Serena helped them out and they swallowed their food. "Don't rush your food like that." Scolded Serena. They continued their lunch peacefully after that then Ash said," Alright! Now let's have a Pokemon battle! What'd you say Ritchie? Wanna have a battle?" "Sure!" said Ritchie. "Let's make it a four on four battle with no substitutions that way all our Pokemon can have a chance to battle." "Yeah! Okay, let's go!" responded Ash. And then he and Ritchie were standing on opposite sides of the field ready to have a battle. "I'll referee the match. Okay?" said Serena. "Okay!" said Ash and Ritchie at the same time. "Alright! Caterpie I chose you!" said Ash as he sent Caterpie out of his Pokeball. "In that case go! Weedle! I chose you!" said Ritchie as he sent out Weedle from his Pokeball. "Okay! Battle begin!" said Serena.

"Caterpie use String shot!" said Ash. Caterpie fired white string from its mouth at Weedle and rapped it in the string. "Now toss and slam it!" said Ash. Caterpie used the string to spin Weedle and slam it into the ground. "Alright!" said Ash. "Weedle let's show 'em how it's down use your string shot and slam Caterpie back." Said Ritchie. Weedle fired its own string shot around Caterpie and slammed it into the ground. "Oh!" exclaimed Ash, while Ritchie smirked. Then Ash smiled back." Okay! Caterpie use Bug bite!" said Ash. Caterpie's mouth opened and was glowing green and it charged Weedle. "Weedle use poison string." Said Ritchie. Weedle's horn started glowing purple and it charged at Caterpie. The two bug Pokemon collided and caused a small explosion blowing both Pokemon back onto the ground. Both Pokemon were hurt and looked like they were about to collapse then they both started glowing. "Awh!" said Ash, Serena and Ritchie. "They're evolving!" said Ritchie. Caterpie evolved into Metapod and Weedle evolved into Kakuna. "Awesome!" said Ash. Then he pulled out his Pokedex and looked up the Pokemon and saw their names. "Metapod and Kakuna. It's so cool that they both evolved." Said Serena. "Yeah! And the Pokedex says they evolve faster than any other Pokemon in the region." Said Ritchie. "That means they might evolve again soon." Said Ash then he grabbed Metapod and hugged him," Congrats on evolving Metapod." "So? Do you still want to continue the battle?" asked Serena. Ash and Ritchie looked at each other then nodded. "No. Caterpie evolving is enough for me." Said Ash. "Yeah, me too so why don't we call this one a draw?" said Ritchie. "Alright. Then this match is a draw!" said Serena. Ash and Ritchie returned their Pokemon, "Alright then next up is Sparrow." Said Ritchie, as he sent out Sparrow from its Pokeball and he flew out into the air. "Alright then, go Pidgeotto." Said Ash and sent out Pidgeotto into the air. "Round two begin!" said Serena. "Sparrow use aerial ace." Said Ritchie, Sparrow created an x of white energy and flew swiftly at Pidgeotto. "Quick use steel wing." Said Ash, Pidgeotto's wings started glowing silvery and it flew away from Sparrow and came around to strike it with its wings, but Sparrow turned and dived at Pidgeotto resulting in the two exchanging strikes. "Okay now use quick attack." Said Ash. Pidgeotto jetted quickly at Sparrow and the speed was enough to strike Sparrow before it could react knocking it out of the sky. "Sparrow! Quick use fury attack." Said Ritchie. Sparrow opened its eyes and it flew at Pidgeotto and moved its beak quickly and striking Pidgeotto repeatedly. "Quick Pidgeotto get away!" said Ash, but Pidgeotto couldn't get away from Sparrow. "Now Sparrow use Pursuit!" said Ritchie. Sparrow's body turned purple and it dived at Pidgeotto. "Quick Pidgeotto use sand attack and dodge it!" said Ash. Pidgeotto pulled up sand and blew it at Sparrow blinding it allowing Pidgeotto to escape. "Oh, yeah? Sparrow use aerial ace!" said Ritchie, Sparrow flew at Pidgeotto with aerial ace. "Pidgeotto use quick attack!" said Ash. The two flying t said Ash. The two flying types flew at each other and collided. After the collision Pidgeotto crashed into the ground and fainted.

"Pidgeotto is unable to battle the winner is Sparrow." Said Serena. "Pidgeotto are you okay?", asked Ash as he held him in his arms, Pidgeotto chirped softly and Ash sighed," Alright return and have some rest." Said Ash, as he put Pidgeotto in its Pokeball. "Great job Sparrow now get some rest." Said Ritchie as he returned Sparrow. "Go! Nidoran!" said Ash as he called out his male Nidoran. "Rattatta! I chose you!" said Ritchie, as he sent out Rattatta. "Battle begin!" said Serena. "Alright use quick attack!" said Ritchie. Rattata sped off at Nidoran. "Use poison sting!" said Ash. Nidoran's horn started glowing and it charged forward and met Rattatta head on. The two Pokemon jumped back after contact and stared each other down, then Rattatta grimaced in pain due to the effect of the poison sting it was now poisoned. "Rattatta!" said Ritchie in concern for his Pokemon. Then Rattatta looked up with a strong look in its eyes. "What's going on? I thought it was poisoned from the attack?" asked Ash. "It's Rattatta's ability guts. When its status gets affected with burn or poison its attack power increases." Said Ritchie, "Like this use hyper fang!" Rattatta's front teeth started glowing and extended. It ran at Nidoran. "Use double kick!" said Ash, Nidoran jumped and used its back legs and swiftly kicked at Rattatta, who brought down his teeth on Nidoran's legs. The two held each other like that until the poison got too much for Rattatta who had to let go allowing Nidoran to escape. "Now use skull bash!" said Ash. Nidoran's head started generating white light and it charged at Rattatta knocking it out in the process.

"Rattatta is unable to battle which means Nidoran is the winner!" said Serena. "Alright we won that round great job Nidoran." Said Ash as he stroked Nidoran's head, Nidoran exclaimed happily the it started glowing and transformed into something else, "It's evolving…." Started Serena in awe. "…. into a Nidorino." Completed Ritchie when he saw what Nidoran had evolved into. "Wow! So cool." Said Ash. "Wow two Pokemon evolved on the same day. You must be really luck Ash." Said Serena. "Yeah! Now take a good rest Nidorino." Said Ash then he returned Nidorino. Ritchie did the same with Rattatta. "Pikachu are you ready?", asked Ash. Pikachu nodded and ran out to fight. "Alright its up to you. Go Charmander!" said Ritchie. Charmander came out of his Pokeball and jumped forward to battle. "Final Battle! Begin!" said Serena. "Pikachu use thunder shock!" said Ash, Pikachu fired the attack at Charmander. "Use ember!" said Ritchie. Charmander fired a small flame at the thunder shock creating an explosion. "Now use tackle!" said Ritchie. Charmander ran at Pikachu. "Use quick attack!" said Ash and Pikachu sped off and dodged Charmander s tackle and strike him in the back. "Now use thunder wave!" said Ash. Pikachu fired yellow waves from its tail that paralyzed Charmander. "No, Charmander!" cried Ritchie. "Pikachu use electro ball." Said Ash. Pikachu began generating an electric ball in it's tail then threw it at Charmander. "Use smokescreen! Then ember!" said Ritchie, Charmander fired smoke from its mouth to make Pikachu miss that attack. The Charmander jumped from behind Pikachu and fired its ember at Pikachu. "Pikachu!" cried Ash as Pikachu hit the ground suffering from burn. "Come on Pikachu! Don't give up till it's over!" Hearing Ash say that made Serena have a flash back of a little boy who helped her and said the same thing. It is him! After all these years he still says the same thing. Then she was snapped back to reality when she heard "Charmander use ancient power!" "Pikachu use electro ball!" Pikachu and Charmander fired their two attacks at each other and the attacks made direct contact with the Pokemon creating an explosion. When the dust cleared Pikachu was barely standing but Charmander was lying on the ground knocked out. "Charmander is unable to battle which means the winner is Pikachu and the victor is Ash!" said Serena. "All right we won!", said Ash then he brought out his other Pokemon and hugged them all, "We did it guys we won our first battle." "Way to go Ash!" said Ritchie. They all started talking and celebrating that some of their Pokemon had evolved and as they talked, they noticed the sun was going down, so they packed up their things and continued to Viridian City.
