Pokemon Destiny

The Legacy Continues

Chapter 1

Pallate Town--The future

Pokemon with trainers are moving about. Others are training their pokemon but in a ranch house style house a little girl is playing outside. There are many different pokemon she's playing with. Her favorite is a pikachu. The girl is Isadora Ketchum, only daughter to Ash and his wife Misty.

Isadora is playing tag with her father's pikachu. A bulbasaur joins in and the little nine year old Isadora giggles.

Someone steps out of the backdoor of the house watching the little girl with the pokemon.

"Isadora?" Ash Ketchum called out from the backporch. She looks up and saw her father before running toward and threw herself into his arms with a glad cry of;

"DADDY!"

Ash Ketchum, now a pokemon master hugged his daughter to him grinning. The battered cap on his head. His pikachu leapt up on to his shoulder.

"And what have you been doing Isadora?" Ash asked. Isadora giggled again.

"Nothing," the little girl smiled. Ash nodded.

"You ready for your first pokemon?" he questioned. Isadora's eyes widened at that, her gaze on her Ash's pikachu.

"You mean a best friend like you and pikachu?"

Ash looked over at pikachu and smiled even broadly then looked back to his daughter.

"Yes. But maybe your first pokemon will be more so of a best friend." he said.

"I wanna be a Pokemon Master too but I also wanna be a gym leader like mommy," Isadora pondered.

Ash continued to smile.

"You can be whatever you want? You have a choice of pokemon?"

Isadora shook her head,

"But they're all so good!"

"Don't worry about it. Relax and your choice will be easy," he said.

"Pi pikachu!"

"Okay Daddy!" Isadora shouted. Ash set his daughter on her feet as the little girl ran off to play with her father's pokemon.

That Afternoon

Isadora and Ash were waiting at the home of Professor Gary Oaks to get Isadora's first pokemon. Isadora was wearing a pair of pink shorts and a short sleeved red blouse. Perched on top of her long black hair was a pink cap, much like the one Ash wore on his Pokemon journey. It was a gift from her mother, Misty who had to return to the Cerulean City gym.

The little girl was fiddling around moving back and forth in nervousness.

"Relax Isadora, it's going to be all right. You know one of Pikachu's offspring is here as well. Perhaps you'll choose one of them," Ash said. Isadora looked up at her father, eyes wide.

"Really?"

"Really."

They moved to the front door and entered. To Ash, everything was just like it was when he was a kid. Before they met with Gary, Ash's rival and now best friend, second only to pikachu.

"Is that Isadora?" Gary said. It was a mock question as Gary knew about Isadora.

"Hi Professor," She said shyly.

"No need for shyness. We know each other right," Gary said and smiled at her. He led her into the lab where three pokeballs sat upon a table. "Here are your choices, Isadora. Take your time in choosing."

Isadora stared at the pokeballs thoughtfully wondering. She didn't know how she was going to choose. She reached out a hand and pointed at the pokeball in the center.

"I choose this one." she said. Gary nodded and handed the pokeball to her.

With a soft pop the pokeball opened to reveal a pichu. It gave a small sound looking at the girl then at Ash's pikachu and leaped into Isadora's arms. Gary and Ash smiled. Pikachu cheered.

"Congradulations on your pichu. Daughter to your father's pikachu there," Gary said. Isadora glanced up at pikachu who nodded then at her new pokemon.

"I love her already," she said. Gary handed her a belt where pokeballs go and a pokedex. The pokedex was a lot different than her father's but Isadora felt that she could use it okay.

"And these are for you too," he said.

BOOM

A loud explosion went off causing the two adults to stare at each other, startled.

"What was that?" Ash questioned.

"Let's find out," Gary said.

The two adults dashed outside. Isadora stared, standing where she was.

"Pi pichu?"

With a shrug, Isadora followed after the two adults, her pichu held in her arms.

Outside

Ash's pikachu stood before Ash its cheek pouches glowing with electricity as they faced off before Team Rocket. Next to pikachu was Arcanine, Gary's pokemon and friend.

"We are Team Rocket! I am Richa. We want those pokemon and we want them now!" the female member spoke. She had blue hair done up atop her head and a sneering look on her pretty face.

"I don't think so," Gary said. Arcanine growled.

"And I am Isin and we didn't ask and we'll start with that there pichu," the male member spoke indicating Isadora's pokemon. Isadora frowned at that and clutched her pokemon tightly to her chest.

"Pika!" Ash's pikachu said.

"I don't think so. You won't touch my daughter's pokemon," Ash said.

"We'll see," the female said. She tossed out a pokeball to reveal a bulbasaur as the male member tossed out another pokeball revealing that of a Wartortle. "We are Team Rocket and we'll take what we want."

"I've dealt with you Team Rocket before. You're not so tough," Ash said. "Pikachu Thunder!"

"Pika!"

Pikachu let loose with its thunder attack aiming for wartortle but bulbasaur was able to absorb it. The female laughed at that.

"You really think we'll let that happen. Well we won't. Bulbasaur razor leaf!"

"Wartortle, water gun!" the male yelled.

The two pokemon let loose with their attacks. Wartortle striking Gary's pokemon and Bulbasaur going for Pikachu.

"NOOOO!" came a scream. The adults turn to Isadora who had dropped her pichu. There was a frown on both of their faces.

"No Isadora!" Ash said.

"I won't let pikachu and arcanine get hurt protecting us."

"Little girl, then give us that pokemon," the female said.

I'll give you something all right.

"You ready pichu. This'll be our first fight."

"Pi pichu." There was determination on the small pokemon's face. Isadora nodded right before she called out the attack. "Pichu, thunder attack! Remember how pikachu did it and be careful.'

The little pichu's own cheeks glowed, a glow that encompassed its entire body. Then...

...The sky seemed to go all cloudy as a massive bolt of lightning came out and struck both wartortle and bulbasaur. The female half of Team Rocket could feel the attack though she knew that such an attack couldn't harm her bulbasaur.

Her mouth dropped...

Both bulbasaur and wartortle were out like lights, electrical energy curling about their bodies. Then the female, Richa turned to look at Isadora and gasped--the girl was glowing with the same kind of electrical energy!

"I--It's impossible. No pichu has that kind of power." she blurted. Isin glanced at his partner who turned to him as well.

"I think we better get outta here then," he said.

Pichu frowned at that and nodded to her trainer.

"Thundershock!" Isadora said.

"Pi pi chu!"

Another bolt of lightning struck Team Rocket and...

BOOM

"We'll be baaaack!" they cried out as they were sent into the stratiphere. The glow about Isadora faded and disappeared. Ash and Gary turned to look at Isadora, grinning.

"That was great Isadora! I can tell that pichu will become a powerful pokemon," Ash said. Isadora blinked at that. Her glance went to her father's pikachu who was close to pichu beaming proudly, as only a father would.

"But she won't be as strong as your pikachu," the little girl admitted.

"Probably even stronger."

"Same for Arcanine. But you and pichu are on the right track." Gary said. "When will you start your journey?"

Isadora looked at her father and back to Gary.

"I think tomorrow." she said.

"Maybe a good idea, I would think," Gary looked at her and smiling. Then his gaze went to Ash and the smile broadened.

"I think you're going to have some more competition, Ash."

"Let's hope." he said. Ash's pikachu leapt up onto his trainer's shoulder as Isadora's pichu was picked up and cuddled in her trainer's arms.

"Well we oughta get back. Come on Isadora," Ash said turning on his heel and leaving the area for home. Gary watched as father and daughter was walking.

"Yep, there just may be a new Pokemon Master coming," he muttered.

To Be Continued

Note: This is only chapter one of a new Pokemon series I've thought up. Pokemon still remains the property of its owner (with the exception of the character Isadora. She's mine.)

And in chapter 2, we shall meet up with Giovanni and find out his plans along with Isadora's beginning her Pokemon Journey. So stay tuned.
