Here is another fanfic! Please Review! Please review! Anyways, I do not own pokémon! I repeat, I do not own pokémon! I only own Destiny, new pokémon, and new attacks! Those who steal my ideas will be flamed! Anyways, this is an alternate universe pokémon story.. () is translated poke speech, “” is speech, and ** is thoughts. Okay, I saw some of these episodes in Chinese, so it’s not an exact translation! And yes, Ash is Destiny and he does have more pokémon then Brock and Misty know about!

 

            What if Charmander hadn’t evolved after the March of the Exeggutor Squad? What would have happened then? Would Ash have beat Blaine? Would he have won the Indigo League Championships? Would he have beaten Giovanni? Would Team Rocket have captured him? Read this fic to find out!

            Ash looked at his weary Charmander. There were simply too many Exeggutor to beat. Charmander would be badly hurt if he continued to fight. “Charmander, return.” Said Ash, recalling the fire type. He hesitated for a moment before opening his backpack and taking out a secret poke ball. “Flareon, go!” The poke ball popped open as a Flareon appeared. “Flareon, Fire Blast!” yelled Ash. The Flareon sucked in a mighty blast of air and Fire blasted all of the Exeggutor, stopping them in their tracks. Just then, there was a loud explosion as the time bomb blew up.

* Whew. That was close. Thank goodness I remembered about Flareon and the other pokémon I inherited from my dad. *  He thought. Misty and Brock stared. Finally, Brock spoke up. “Ash, I never knew you had a Flareon. How did you get it?” Ash shrugged. “My father, Cypress Ketchum, was pokémon master for a few years, remember? He caught over 100 species of pokémon. After he died when I was 6, I inherited them. I guess I never bothered to use them before because I wanted to train my own pokémon, but this time I was desperate.”

“Oh.” Said Brock. Ash smiled. “Let’s go!” he yelled. Misty and Brock sweat dropped as Ash took off at a run. “Where does he get all that energy?” Misty asked. Brock shrugged. “I guess he’s just really, really, hyper.” They quickly ran to catch up with Ash when Brock thought of another question.

“Wait Ash. You’re carrying Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Pikachu, Pidgeotto…Oh, never mind. That makes six pokémon.” Said Brock. Ash just smiled. Brock and Misty didn’t know about all the other pokémon he had, and frankly, he didn’t want them to know. ‘Ash’s mom’ was actually a ditto, cleverly designed. She had moved to Pallet when Ash was 5, avoiding any unpleasant questions.

Ash had many, many more than six pokémon, but he wasn’t going to tell Brock or Misty about that. When night fell, they set up camp. After eating dinner and such, Misty and Brock went to sleep. Ash quietly left the campsite and went to train. When he returned at 4:00 A.M. in the morning, Misty and Brock were still sleeping soundly. Ash quietly crept back into his sleeping bag and slept until he was awakened around seven by Misty screaming in his ear.

Ash jumped out of his sleeping bag when he heard Misty scream. “What is it now.” Said Ash, rolling his eyes. “It’s a creepy cat-like thing with ugly claws! Yuck! Get it away from me!” shouted Misty. Ash looked at it carefully. Then he whipped out Dexter.

“Sneasal. The dark-type pokémon. Vicious in nature, it drives Pidgey from their nests and feasts on the eggs that are left behind.” Dexter chimed. “Cool!” said Ash. Meanwhile, Brock and Misty were looking puzzled, since they had never seen a dark-type before. “I’m going to capture it! Squirtle, go!” The tiny turtle popped out and smiled. “Squirtle, Hydro Pump!” yelled Ash. Squirtle Hydro Pumped the Sneasal into a tree, which knocked it out. “All right! Poke ball, go!” shouted Ash. The ball wriggled three times before there was a slight ding. “Yeah!” shouted Ash, doing his pose, mirrored by Squirtle.

Ash hugged Squirtle and fed it some poke food before returning it to its poke ball. Then, he looked at Ash and Misty, who were staring at him. “What?” asked Ash. “The poke ball isn’t being transferred.” Said Brock. Ash imitated a look of puzzlement before slapping himself. “Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you that since it was just my birthday (which you ignored), my mom sent me a brand-new poke belt! It can carry 12 poke balls.” Said Ash. “Since Krabby prefers to stay with the Professor, I didn’t bring him over. But I do have Muk.” “Yuck.” Said Brock and Misty in unison.

Ash and Misty continued on their journey when they spotted a shop. Sitting on the porch was an old lady. “Hello dear. I sell inexpensive herbal medicine. However, they are a trifle bitter, so your pokémon may not like them.” She said. “What do you have?” asked Ash. The old lady pulled out a drawer. “Energy Powder, Revival Herb, and Rage Candy bars.” Ash considered for a moment. “How much are the Rage Candy bars?” he asked. The old woman grinned, showing gaps in her teeth. “$20 each, dear.” Ash pulled some money out of his pocket and pocketed a box of Rage Candy bars.

Just then, a girl with her hair in pigtails came in. “Grandma, are you scaring the customers again?” she asked, sounding exasperated. The old lady looked hurt. “No, Cassandra. Stop being so childish!” The girl grimaced. Brock had heart eyes as he stared at Cassandra. “Hi, I’m Brock!” he said. Cassandra looked at him. “Are you a pokémon trainer?” she asked. “I am!” shouted Ash, cutting in. “Do you want to battle?” asked Cassandra. “Sure!” said Ash.

They headed out to the backyard. “He’ll battle you,” said Cassandra, indicating a Paras who was sitting on the ground by a tree. “All right! Charmander, go!” shouted Ash. Charmander appeared and used Ember on the Paras, which took it out. “Yeah! I win!” shouted Ash. Misty was slightly impressed. Cassandra sighed. “I wish Paras would evolve into Parasect, but it’s too weak. I don’t know what to do.”

“I’ll help you!” shouted Brock, eager to please a girl. “I’ve got lots of rare candies you can have.” “Oh could you please?” asked Cassandra. Brock turned all red and handed her a bag. “That’s not fair! I’d like rare candies too!” said Ash, protesting. Misty took this opportunity to whack Ash with her mallet. A few minutes later, Paras evolved into a Parasect. “Yay! Thank you!” said Cassandra, hugging Brock, who fainted dead away.

“Psst! This Parasect would make a great gift for the boss! And we can nab the twerp’s Pikachu too!” said Jessie to James and Meowth. “Yeah.” Said James. “Let’s do it!”

Ash was spraying potion on Charmander when smoke appeared.

 

“To protect the world from devastation!”

 

“To unite all people within our nation!”

 

“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!”

 

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”

 

“Meowth, that’s right!”

 

“Hand over that Parasect and Pikachu now!” shouted Jessie and James in unison.

 

“Pidgeotto, go!” shouted Ash. “Blow away the smoke!” Pidgeotto appeared and flapped her wings, causing all the smoke to disappear. “Oh no! Where’s Pikachu!” shouted Ash. Team Rocket laughed, showing Pikachu trapped in a rubber bag. Ash got angry. “Sneasal, go!” shouted Ash. “Are you sure?” asked Misty. “You just caught it yesterday. It’s way too weak!”

“Shut up! Sneasal, Fury Swipes!” Sneasal jumped up towards Team Rocket and Fury Swiped them, causing them to drop Pikachu. Then, he slashed open the bag. Pikachu popped out, looking angry. “Uh oh.” “Pikachu!!!” shouted Pikachu, zapping them with a million volts of electricity. “Looks like Team Rocket’s blasting off again!” They shouted before disappearing in a sparkle.

“You did a great job, Sneasal!” shouted Ash, hugging the evil cat pokémon, who purred before getting sucked inside its poke ball again. Cassandra stared in obvious appreciation. Then, she ran in and handed Ash a poke ball. Ash stared at it curiously. “Cassandra, what are you doing?” he asked. “There’s a special pokémon inside that poke ball. We found it lying hurt by the road months ago. It doesn’t trust people, but I was wondering if you would take care of it for me, as a favor.” she said. Ash considered for a moment.

“Okay, I’ll take care of this pokémon for you.” Said Ash, pocketing the poke ball. Misty was feeling sort of jealous. * Why does everyone want Ash to take care of their pokémon? It’s not fair! * She looked at Ash, who was opening the poke ball. Misty sighed. He looked so happy, just like the kid he was. * I shouldn’t be unhappy because he’s happy. * She thought, before gasping as the pokémon was revealed.

“Eevee!” It screamed as it lashed out at Ash. Ash gasped in pain as blood dripped from his arm. “It looks like its been badly abused.” He said. Cassandra nodded. “We guessed that it was Team Rocket.” Ash quickly grabbed a bandage and some disinfectant while Pikachu kept an eye on Eevee.

 

Poke translator on.

 

“Why do you hate humans so much?” asked Pikachu.

“I was hatched from an egg. The first thing I saw were these people in black with red R’s on their uniforms and some guys in white coats. They gave me a shot. Then, they made me fight against other pokémon. Pidgeys, Rattatas, and stuff. At first it was easy, but then they started making me battle mean pokémon. Scythers, Pinsars, Raticates, Zubats, stuff like that. And they beat me when I lost. And they tried feeding me different formulas to increase my powers, but that only made me weak. That’s why.” Said Eevee bitterly.

Pikachu looked at Eevee with compassion. “Not all humans are like that.” She said.

“Humans are evil. I know that from experience! What do you know that I don’t?”

“No, not all humans are evil. I once believed that also. Then I met Ash. He was willing to sacrifice his life for mine. That’s when I found out not all humans were evil.”

“Really?” asked Eevee, looking interested. “Would he do the same thing for me?”

“I think so. Just give Ash a chance. Please, Eevee.” Said Pikachu.

“Fine. I’ll give him a try. I have nothing better to do anyways.”

 

Poke translator off.

 

“Hey, Pikachu, are you ready to go?” asked Ash. He had bandaged his wound while Pikachu and Eevee had been talking and was ready. “Pika!” (Yeah!) said Pikachu, hopping onto Ash’s head. “Okay.” Said Ash as he picked up Eevee cautiously. “Let’s go!” Ash took off down the road, followed by Misty and Brock. “Remember Ash Ketchum, you still owe me a bike!” shouted Misty. “Don’t think you can get away from me!” Ash sweat dropped as he continued running.

That night, they made it to a brightly lit city. Unfortunately, they soon found out that all the inhabitants were extremely grumpy/cranky/mean. Ash quickly summoned Pidgeotto. “Get me out of here!” he shouted. Pidgeotto gripped onto Ash’s shoulders with her talons while Ash held Pikachu and Eevee and flew out of there. “Hey, what about me!” shouted Misty. “Have no fear.” Said Brock. “Onix, go! Dig us a tunnel out of here!” Onix picked up Misty and Brock as he dug them out of the city.

They found Ash sitting next to a campfire in a particularly deep part of the woods. Charmander, Bulbasaur, Pidgeotto, Pikachu, Squirtle, and Flareon were sitting around the fire munching on poke chow. Eevee was grooming itself by a tree, and Sneasal, being Nocturnal, was out hunting. “Well, it was certainly kind of you to leave us behind, you moron!” shouted Misty, whacking Ash with her mallet.

Ash looked angry. “Why are you blaming me, miss prissy? You’re the one who hates camping out, so I assumed you’d find a hotel or something! Leave me alone!” Ash picked himself up and sat down next to his pokémon by the campfire, completely ignoring Brock and Misty. After a while, Ash set up his sleeping bag and went to sleep, followed by his pokémon, who settled around him, even Eevee and Sneasal.

Misty looked at her watch and decided to go to sleep also. She pulled out her sleeping bag and set it up. Brock made himself a cup of hot chocolate over the campfire and drank it before deciding to sleep also. Soon, silence reigned over the campsite.

A few hours later, Ash woke up and silently crept off. When he was sure he was far away enough, he released his secret pokémon. Soon, the field was full of battling pokémon. Ash was sure that Misty and Brock were sleeping, but he sent Clefable back just to take a look. Clefable found that Misty was partially awake, so she sang Misty to sleep again before reporting back.

“Good.” Said Ash. “I can’t let anyone find out about all of you, or else there would be a lot of problems. Right Pikachu?” Pikachu nodded as it munched on an apple. (The sun’s coming up soon.) said Sneasal, pointing to the horizon. Ash nodded. “Another half hour. Then you can go back and rest.” A half hour later, Ash snuck back to the campsite followed by his eight known pokémon.

Ash was rudely awakened the next morning by Misty pouring a bucket of water over him. “What the-Misty!” Ash jumped out of bed, narrowly avoiding being splashed again. “You drenched my sleeping bag!” said Ash, looking angry. “So what! Breakfast is ready, you dweeb, hurry up!” Ash dressed slowly and ate breakfast. Then, they headed off.

A while later, they spotted a pokémon sitting on a stump by itself. “It’s so cute!” gushed Misty. “I want to capture it! Staryu, go! Spin Tackle!” Staryu tackled the Jigglypuff, who started crying. Pikachu rolled her eyes. (What a pathetic pokémon.) She whispered to Charmander, who laughed. Misty was trying to comfort the Jigglypuff, who suddenly slapped Pikachu.

“Pikachu!” shouted Pikachu angrily. Ash picked up Pikachu and started walking away. “Huh?” asked Brock. “Ash, what are you doing?” “I’m going to look for more pokémon!” shouted Ash, running off. Misty sighed as she turned to Brock. “I think Jigglypuff can’t sing.” She said.

Team Rocket, who had been watching, decided that now was a good time to make their grand entrance. So they did.

“To protect the world from devastation!”

 

“To unite all people within our nation!”

 

“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!”

 

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”

 

“Meowth, that’s right!”

 

“Jigglypuff’s going to sing karaoke with us! And then we’ll be able to capture all the pokémon in the world!” said Jessie. “Arbok, go! Wheezing, go!” Wheezing spread thick smog over the area as James picked up Jigglypuff. “Oh no you don’t!” shouted Misty. “Starmie, go! Hydro Pump!” Starmie hit Wheezing, which knocked it into the sky. However, Arbok clamped its jaws down on Starmie’s jewel, preventing it from making any more movements.

“Oh no! Starmie, return! Horsea, go!” Instead of Horsea though, out popped Psyduck. “Your name is Psyduck, not Horsea!” shouted Misty. “Oh well, do your Scratch attack!” Psyduck ran around in circles for a long time before tripping and falling on its head. Since it now had a major headache, it used Disable followed by Confusion, sending Team Rocket blasting off again. In their course, they dropped Jigglypuff, who landed on Misty.

“Hmm. Maybe this will do the trick!” said Brock, holding out a ripe berry to Jigglypuff. Jigglypuff opened her mouth and ate the berry, before bouncing up and yelling “Puff! Puff!” “Yes! We did it!” shouted Misty. “All right, Jigglypuff, sing!” Jigglypuff opened her mouth and sang loudly, putting Misty and Brock to sleep.

 

Meanwhile, Ash was giving Eevee a bath in the river. Suddenly, sounds of singing were heard. “Oh no! They finally got the Jigglypuff to sing!” shouted Ash. “Pikachu!” shouted Pikachu, surrounding itself with electricity in an attempt to block out the song. “Argh! Clefable, go! Do something!” shouted Ash. Clefable appeared and followed the source of the music. When she saw the Jigglypuff, she immediately let out a Hyper Beam attack, knocking out Jigglypuff, before flying back.

Clefable returned to find Ash drying Eevee of with a soft towel and Pikachu playing tag with the other pokémon. Satisfied, she joined in the game. Hours later, Brock and Misty appeared. Misty was carrying a rejuvenated Jigglypuff. Ash groaned. Pikachu glared as her cheeks sparked. (I hate that disgusting balloon!) She shouted. She was echoed by half a hundred other voices in unison.

“So, Misty, you caught Jigglypuff?” asked Ash. “Yes I did! In your face, Mr. Wannabe pokémon master!” “As if I even cared if a scrawny redhead like you caught a pokémon like that!” said Ash. He jumped to avoid being hit by the mallet. Misty suddenly got squirted with water. She turned around to see Squirtle spraying her. “Why you stupid thing!” she shouted. She hit Squirtle on the head with her mallet but was vine whipped by Bulbasaur. (Leave my boyfriend alone you big meanie!) Shouted Bulbasaur.

“Ash, I’m going to report to the authorities for not controlling your pokémon!” yelled Misty. “You’re the one that hit Squirtle first.” Ash pointed out. “Squirtle was protecting me. For a water pokémon expert, you are incredibly dumb.” “What?!” shouted Misty, whacking Ash with her mallet again, extra hard this time, of course. Then she heard a loud crack.

“Huh?” Misty took a good look at Ash, whose eyes were glazed over. “Oh no! You must have hit him too hard, Misty. I think you broke his head!” “What?!” shouted Misty. Ash’s pokémon decided to take matters into their own hands. (Blissey! We need your help!) Shouted Pikachu. A sleepy Blissey materialized.

(Are you hurt?) Asked Blissey, looking at Pikachu. (NO, but look at Ash! He’s bleeding really badly! We think Misty broke his head!) Blissey rushed over to Ash’s side before shaking her head. (I can’t do this by myself. He needs more professional care.) Blissey beckoned the pokémon towards her. (Teleport!) Shouted Blissey, as they disappeared from view.

Blissey materialized in the hospital and waved a Nurse Joy over. (Our master needs help!) Since Nurse Joy could understand Chanseys/Blisseys really well, she immediately took Ash into surgery. Pikachu, Blissey, Eevee, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Flareon, Charmander, Sneasal and Pidgeotto waited outside impatiently. Finally, she came out. “You’re trainer is in intensive care, but he’ll survive.” She said. (Thank You!) Shouted all the pokémon.

They all trooped upstairs to see Ash, who was recuperating. (All the damage has been repaired) said Blissey to the others. (However, this will take a while to heal. I think at least a week.) The pokémon all sighed. Just then, Sneasal looked out the window and hissed. (It’s the girl and the squinty-eyed boy!) It screeched. The pokémon all ran down stairs to see.

 

Misty and Brock had been searching for Ash. Finally, they had located a pokémon center. They had asked the residential Nurse Joy if she had seen Ash. She said that her cousin was taking care of him at the moment. Misty made inquiries and found out where Ash was. Then, she and Brock had headed off in the direction of the pokémon center. A Nurse Joy greeted them there, stifling a couple of yawns.

“Yes, there is a black-haired boy here, why?” asked Nurse Joy. “We’re his friends.” Said Misty. Just then, Sneasal jumped down from the window and slashed her across the face. “Sneasal! What the heck are you doing!” shouted Brock, trying to pry the evil cat off Misty. Just then, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Pikachu, Flareon, Eevee, Charmander, and Pidgeotto all rushed downstairs.

(There’s the girl that hurt master!) (Let’s get her!) (Yeah, she deserves it.) (Why isn’t Blissey coming?) (Oh, she’s taking care of Ash.) (Attack everyone!) The seven pokémon all stood together and launched their most powerful attacks. (Solarbeam!) (Hydro Pump!) (Thunder!) (Fire Blast!) (Take Down!) (Flamethrower!) (Whirlwind!) Misty barely had time to move before she was hit dead on.

(Yeah! We did it!) Shouted the pokémon before they all went up to Ash’s room. Brock was staring at a soaked, burnt, slightly paralyzed, beat up Misty. “Why?” asked Misty before she fainted. * Now I can really report Ash. * Was the last thought that ran through her mind.

 

After two weeks, Ash was released. However, he still had bandages wrapped around his head. * Oh well. At least I survived. I shouldn’t be worrying about my appearance right now. * Misty was on trial for attempted murder. Brock was a witness. The pokémon all testified that Misty repeatedly hit Ash with her mallet. Since she was a minor, Misty was sent to juvenile hall and her pokémon license and Gym leader license were revoked.

Now, Ash was off to get the Volcano badge. However, the journey to Cinnabar is not going to be a quick one…

 

Ash was walking around one day when a red sports car sped by. “Hey loser!” shouted a familiar voice. “Gary Oak!” shouted Ash. Gary stuck out his tongue and grinned. “There’s a pokémon fossil archeological dig! Looks like you came too late, loser.” Ash flushed angrily as Gary sped past. Pikachu was also angry. “Why do I care anyways?” said Ash. * But still…finding a fossil of an extinct pokémon would be cool.”

At the same time, Team Rocket was setting up fuses. “If we get some rare pokémon fossils, the boss will be pleased!” said Jessie. “Yeah!” said James. “We’d better get out of here before they blow.” Jessie and James were running away when they saw Ash.

“It’s the twerp!” shouted Meowth. Just then, Ash saw the fuse. “Oh no! I’m not letting you blow up this canyon!” he shouted. “Squirtle, go! Water gun!” Squirtle aimed at the fuse but missed. Team Rocket, who was trying to get away, suddenly slipped. A rolling ball crashed into Ash and sent them sprawling. The last thing they saw was the fuse hitting the dynamite and an explosion…

 

Ash woke up feeling like he was covered with bruises. “Whew. Where in the world are we?” (I think we’re underground.) said Pikachu. Ash looked around. “I think you’re right. How do we get out of here?” Just then, they heard screams. Ash and Pikachu spun around to see Team Rocket being chased by a bunch of prehistoric pokémon.

“Bulbasaur, go!” shouted Ash, hoping that they would be weak against plant types. Bulbasaur materialized and let off a volley of razor leaves, cutting them to pieces. “Poke balls, go!” shouted Ash. A minute later, four balls floated into his hands. Each one contained an extinct pokémon.

Just then, a resounding scream was heard. “What now?” he muttered, before looking up and seeing a purple flying thing. “Aerodactyl. This pokémon attacked its prey with sharp saw-like fangs.” Said Dexter. Ash gulped. Bulbasaur shivered before going back into her poke ball.

“Pikachu, Thunder!” yelled Ash, hoping that this would work. Again. Pikachu nodded and let off a Thunder attack. Amazingly, the Aerodactlyl dropped like a rock to the floor. Ash hesitated for a second before yelling “Poke ball, go!” The Aerodactyl was sucked inside.  Jessie and James stared as a single thought ran through their heads. * He could easily become a top trainer in Team Rocket. * They thought, before wondering how to get out of this hole.

Gary Oak was digging with a shovel when the ground beneath him started to rumble. Gary backed away as the ground erupted in a flurry of rocks and an Aerodactyl appeared. “Wow.” He managed to saw before noticing that it was gripping Ash’s shoulders. He stared. So did everyone else in the area, including Todd, who started taking pictures.

“How did that loser get an Aerodactyl?!” shouted Gary to no one in particular. Nobody noticed, since they were all watching Aerodactyl, who landed gently. “Thanks.” Said Ash as he recalled the pokémon. Turning to Gary, he said, “You may have found some fossils, Gary, but I’ve got a real live fossil pokémon!” Turning, Ash walked off, followed by Pikachu.

A few minutes later, Pikachu rushed off into the bushes. “What is it Pikachu?” asked Ash. Pikachu came out dragging what looked like an egg. “Cool!” said Ash. He opened Blissey’s poke ball. “Blissey, can you take care of this egg?” asked Ash. Blissey nodded as she put it in her pouch.

 

(Okay, Author’s note here! I’m taking the liberty of skipping some episodes since Misty isn’t here.)

Two weeks later…

 

“Yes?” Said Ash to the Nurse Joy. “I have a letter for you. It’s from Professor Oak.” She said. Ash took the letter, and then went to the Videophone to make a call. “Hello Professor. What were you going to ask me?” Professor Oak waved his hand excitedly. “Ash! I heard that you had a pokémon egg. Is that true?” “Yes, why?” said Ash. “It could evolve into a brand new type of pokémon!” said the Professor.

“Cool!” said Ash. Just then, Blissey nudged him. “Oh! It’s about to hatch!” said Ash, taking the egg out and examining it. Blissey nodded as it started wriggling. “Sorry, Professor, I’ll call you later!” said Ash. He and Blissey picked a quiet spot next to the window to watch the egg.

Several hours later, a small crack finally appeared. Then, a small pokémon poked its head out. “Togepi! Brii!” it chirped. “A Togepi!” said Ash. Togepi looked at Ash and Blissey before finally jumping into Blissey’s pouch. (Hi mommy! Hi daddy!) It said. Ash sighed. * Daddy? * But it might be interesting raising a baby pokémon. Blissey was currently feeding Togepi milk, so Ash didn’t bother it.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket was watching outside the window. “Dat’s a rare pokémon! The boss will want it!” “Yeah! Think of all the food we could buy if we sell it!” said James chiming in. Jessie pulled out her mallet and whacked them both. “Let’s find out if the egg can battle first.” She said.

Ash walked down the street, followed by Blissey, Togepi, and Pikachu. Just then, two people dressed in scarves holding baskets of eggs came out. “Hello, sir. Would you like to buy some eggs?” asked one in a high voice. “Hmm. Are those pokémon eggs?” “Yes, sir.” Said the same person. “All right, what kinds of pokémon do you have?” asked Ash interestedly. “Oh, all kinds. Here, take a look.” While Ash was peering through the basket along with Pikachu and Blissey, they heard a loud shriek.

“Oh no! Togepi’s in trouble!” shouted Ash.

 

“Did someone say trouble?” asked a familiar voice.

 

“Yeah, and we’d better make it double.” Said another familiar voice.

 

“To protect the world from devastation!”

 

“To unite all people within our nation!”

 

“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!”

 

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”

 

“Meowth, that’s right!”

 

Ash sweat dropped. He should have known Team Rocket would pull a stunt like this. Blissey, however, was already Mega Punching the Rockets for stealing her baby. They dropped Togepi, but then sent out Arbok and Wheezing. “Pikachu, go!” said Ash. Pikachu let out a mighty Thunder Attack, which fried the Rockets. “Oh no! It looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!” shouted Jessie and James before vanishing.

Togepi hugged its ‘mommy’, before crawling into her pouch and taking a nap. “Oh well.” Said Ash. “I guess we had better continue, right Pikachu?” “Pika!” Shouted the little electric mouse excitedly before hopping onto Ash’s head.

 

Elsewhere…

 

“You failed again?!” shouted Giovanni. “Yes sir.” Said Jessie meekly. “Well, I’m giving you new pokémon this time, so you shouldn’t mess up! Try again!” “Yes sir.” Said James as he saluted. Jessie whacked him with her mallet. Then, the two of them left headquarters, scheming of ways to get Pikachu.

 

Ash was walking down another route when he bumped into a hiker. “Hey kid! How about a pokémon battle!” said the guy. “Sure!” said Ash. “Bulbasaur, go!” “Rhyhorn, go!” said the man. “Rhyhorn, tackle!” Rhyhorn tackled Bulbasaur, who flipped over. “Oh no! Bulbasaur!” said Ash. “Counterattack with Razor Leaf!” Bulbasaur jumped up into the air and let of a barrage of razor leaves, finishing off Rhyhorn. “Wow, kid, you’re pretty tough!” said the hiker. “Thanks.” Said Ash. Just then, he noticed that Bulbasaur was shaking. “Oh no! Bulbasaur! We have to get you to a pokémon center right away!”

Ash picked up Bulbasaur and ran all the way to the nearest pokémon center. Then, he gave her into the care of Nurse Joy. “I think Bulbasaur is going to evolve.” Said Nurse Joy after a thorough examination. “Evolve?! But Bulbasaur doesn’t want to evolve, right girl?” Bulbasaur nodded in agreement. Nurse Joy shook her head.

“Then you shouldn’t have come here. Tomorrow is the Bulbasaur evolution ceremony! All the Bulbasaur go off to a secret garden, and come back as Ivysaur!” said Joy. Ash sighed. What was he to do? “I would like to see that secret garden though.” Said Ash, sighing. “IT would be cool! Right, guys?” Pikachu and Bulbasaur nodded.

The next morning, very early, Bulbasaur got up. She was followed by her boyfriend Squirtle. (Do you want to evolve?) said Squirtle. (No way! What about you?) (I don’t want to evolve either! Anyways, isn’t the sunrise pretty today?) asked Squirtle. (Yeah!) said Bulbasaur. Meanwhile, six Bulbasaur were watching in the bushes.

(A Bulbasaur! We must take her to the evolution ceremony!) (What about the Squirtle?) (Are you nuts? It’s a water type! Grass are strong against water, remember?) (let’s go!) The six Bulbasaur rushed out of the bushes and grabbed Bulbasaur. (Help! Get Ash or something! Hurry!) Said Bulbasaur as she was carried away.

Squirtle ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. Soon, he reached the center. Ash was sleeping, so Squirtle soaked him with a Hydro Pump.

 

“What the? Squirtle, what are you doing?!” said Ash. (Ash, some Bulbasaur ran off with Bulbasaur! They said they were taking her to some garden!) said Squirtle, waving his arms frantically. “Oh no! We’ve got to get Bulbasaur back! Let’s go!” Ash awakened Pikachu, grabbed his poke balls, and ran off followed by Squirtle.

 

While this had been happening, Team Rocket had also seen the Bulbasaur and had tried to capture them, but had been vine whipped into oblivion. They decided to try again later, using their Team Rocket issued Meowth balloon.

 

Ash ran through the woods, following the trail of glittering pollen. “We must be near the secret garden.” Said Ash. “Cha!” said Pikachu, who was sniffing the air. (This way!) As soon as the got in, a bunch of branches immediately appeared behind them. “Wow. Look at all those Bulbasaur!” said Ash. The area was filled with what looked like hundreds of Bulbasaur.

They all stood in front of a huge hollow tree. Suddenly, a call rang through the air. A silhouette of a giant pokémon appeared. “Venusaur.” It said in a majestic voice. Ash consulted Dexter, which gave the following information. “Venusaur. A grass/poison type pokémon. The evolution of Ivysaur.” Dexter chimed.

“Now where is Bulbasaur?” said Ash, looking around. Finally, he spotted it sitting by itself on a bare hilltop. “Bulbasaur!” said Ash, running over and hugging her. Fortunately, this went unnoticed by the general assembly. Just then, the Venusaur opened its mouth and began to sing. The other Bulbasaur joined in. As they sang, green light filtered down and they evolved into Ivysaur one by one. All except for Ash’s Bulbasaur, who was fighting the urge to evolve.

When the Venusaur noticed this, he got angry. So did all the Ivysaur. They surrounded Bulbasaur and demanded that it too evolve. Then, the Venusaur lashed out with its vine whips.

Ash noticed this and quickly jumped in front of Bulbasaur, eyes closing and wings appearing as the vine whips neared. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the Venusaur cowering by the tree. (I-I am so sorry, I didn’t recognize you!) said the Venusaur stuttering a bit. (It’s okay. I just wanted Bulbasaur to stay a Bulbasaur. I did not mean to interrupt your ceremony.) said Ash in poke speech.

(You see, Bulbasaur is my friend. And I don’t want to force her to evolve.) said Ash. The Venusaur nodded. Just then, the sun was blocked by a black shadow. Ash looked up. There was Team Rocket, in their Meowth balloon, carrying something that looked like a vacuum.

 

“To protect the world from devastation!”

 

“To unite all people within our nation!”

 

“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!”

 

“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”

 

“Meowth, that’s right!”

 

Meowth fumbled for a button. Suddenly, wind came out of the vacuum and sucked up all the Ivysaur. Venusaur tried to catch them but it was sucked up also. Only Bulbasaur was left. Ash put his hands on Bulbasaur’s back and sent a lot of energy into the little plant pokémon. Bulbasaur’s red eyes glowed for a second before she opened her mouth and shot off a never-before-seen attack.

“Bulbasaur!” (Rainbow Blast!) Multicolored beams of energy shot from Bulbasaur and blew up the vacuum, dropping all the pokémon. Meanwhile, Ash had shot a barrage of Pin Missiles from his wings, cutting up Team Rocket’s Meowth balloon. “It looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!” shouted Jessie and James and they disappeared.

“Yes! We did it, Bulbasaur!” shouted Ash, hugging Bulbasaur. Just then, the Venusaur appeared and extended one of its vines. Bulbasaur extended one of her own vines and they shook hands. (or is it vines?) Then, rainbow flower patterns started appearing on Bulbasaur’s bulb. (No-it can’t be! She’s turning into a poke god!) Ash smiled as he picked up Bulbasaur and they walked away, leaving a very thoughtful Venusaur behind.

“Once you learn one of your special attacks, you will turn into a poke god.” Said Ash. “That’s why Pikachu has golden lightning bolt symbols across her cheeks and why Charmander has a gold swirl pattern on his tail.” (Oh my!) said Bulbasaur. (Oh well. It is going to be interesting being a poke god.)

 

I guess I’ll end part 1 here! Stay tuned for part 2!
