Chapter 2

Ash woke up on the day of his journey the last three days with his mom were awesome he felt like he was average at the knowledge he knew about Pokemon compared to her.

Flashback

Ash was awaken to the sound of hissing he looked up and was staring straight in the eyes of a Ekans, on the outside he was calm and didn't lose focus. On the inside he was screaming 'OH MY GOSH, WHY IS THERE A SNAKE IN MY FACE' he then realized that this was his pokemon and he thought 'oh right, wait where is Abra'. He looked around to fine the Psi pokemon but saw it was not there on the foot of the bed. Curious he got up and got dressed and let Ekans climb on his shoulder and grabed the egg, then went downstairs. He saw Abra sitting on a chair at the table watching his mom cook breakfast.

"Oh, hi mom I was wondering where Abra went this mourning"

"Mourning honey, yes Abra came down here earlier to wait for you he is strange for any Abra I think he would like to train which is unusual for his kind since they like to sleep most of the day."

"ya I think I will train him on his ice punch and how far he can Teleport today and for Ekans I'm going to work on his Poison sting and the power of his Poison tail."

"Well eat you breakfast and then you can go train when you come back, I will teach you about Berries and what kind of Berries different types like and if you want you can use your old fishing rod at the lake and stay till noon."

"All right, who knows I might catch a water pokemon for my journey."

So Ash quickly ate his breakfast and walked out the door with his pokemon, his fishing rod and egg. He was walking when he stopped and though 'I wonder' he turned to Abra.

"hey Abra can you Teleport us to the lake over there" he pointed to the huge body of water not four-hundred yards away.

"Ab Abra" and in a flash they were at the lake. Ash looked at Abra and saw he was panting harshly. He instantly felt bad he made Abra do that, he was only and month old by the looks of it.

Abra must have sensed his New dads guilt because he went up to him and tugged on his pants. Ash looked down and saw Abra was fine or at least trying to look fine, Ash got the message saying 'don't worry'.

"come on you two lets go see if we can a get a friend or two" said Ash

They all went to the dock that was set up for fishing Ash set up his rode, put some bait on it, then went back to the beach and told Abra to work on his Teleport and Ice punch even combined them and practice on the rocks around. While Abra was doing that he told Ekans to go to the trees and work on his Poison Sting accuracy and when he was down with that to work on his Poison Tail power.

He then went to his Fishing rod and saw nothing happening so he sat there a few hours he was about to leave when a tug on his rod happened. He quickly called Abra and Ekans to get ready.

He gave a big tug and out came a pokemon it looked and him curiously and then he droped it on the dock and said "Ekans use Wrap" the pokemon quickly wrapped it's body around the pokemon and Ash took his Pokeball out and threw it at the pokemon the pokeball sucked it in then it shooked for a minutes then a soft 'Ding' sound was heard.

"Yes we caught a pokemon good job Ekans" the snake hissed happily. Then Ash said " ok so how did your training go" Ekans then took him to a tree and used poison sting to shoot leaves with a better accuracy then last time and then went to a boulder and used Poison tail the attach was able to almost cut straight threw the piece of stone.

"Wow good job Ekans, Abra now you." The Human like pokemon Teleported all of them to the house then back three time, then went to a boulder and used ice punch and the boulder smashed apart into pieces. "Well done Abra, now lets see our new friend."

He threw the pokeball and out came the small pokemon. It looked at them with a gaze then happily smiled at them. Ash got a good look at it, it stood around two feet and had blue skin, it's body was round andit had a swirly circle on it's belly. He saw it was a Poliwag.

He pointed his Pokedex at it and started to scan.

Poliwag, the Tadpole Pokemon. POLIWAG has a very thin skin. It is possible to see the POKéMON's spiral innards right through the skin. Despite its thinness, however, the skin is also very flexible. Even sharp fangs bounce right off it.

This Poliwag is female and knows the Moves Bubble, Hypnosis, ice ball. Note ice ball is an egg move.

'why do I always pokemon with egg moves, not that I mind but it is strange.'

"Well it is good to meet you Poliwag I'm your new trainer Ash ketchum.

"Poli Poliwag wag"

"Alright lets go to mums guys" they started to head back when they heard a cry of pain. They quickly went to see what it was they saw a gang of at least two dozen Beedrill attacking a small yellow pokemon though only 3 beedrill were still fighting the rest were on the ground obviously fainted .

"Hey stop that, Ekans Poison sting, Abra use Teleport to get the pokemon out of there, Poliwag use Hypnosis when they come over here."

Abra teleported to the pokemon and brought it back to Ash while Ekans shot Poison sting to distract them, when they realized their victim was gone they turned to the person who attacked them and they were about to go attack but fell asleep when they were hit with Hypnosis.

Ash looked at the pokemon he recognized it as a Pikachu but saw it was poisoned so he quickly returned Poliwag and Ekans , then said " Abra Teleport to mom's house, quickly"

"Abra"

They Appeared in front of Ash's house he quickly ran in shouting "Mom this pokemon has been Poisoned. Please help it."

Delia saw the pokemon in her son's arms and quickly put it on the table then went to get some Pecha berries. She then squished them into juice and gave it to the Pikachu. The pokemon was already getting better the purple around it's body was fading and when it opened it's eyes it saw ash's worried fce it then fell asleep.

"Ok Ash lets let Pikachu rest leave your pokemon here we are going to continue your lesson. I see you caught another pokemon what is it."

"It's a Poliwag, so I'll leave Ekans, Abra and Poliwag here so they can watch over Pikachu."

"Alright lets go in the living room that's where I'll teach you how to use berries."

So during those three days he stayed at his house Ash learned about Berries, TM's and HM's and how to train and care for different types of Pokemon. When Pikachu woke up he was weary of the humans but he recognized the boy that saved his life and when the boy's Pokemon told him of how careing Ash was, he decided to join him himself. When Ash caught Pikachu he quickly realised he hated his pokeball, so he let Pikachu sit on his shoulder.

On the last day his mother taught him how to keep the egg secure and clean it. When Ash ffirst cleaned the egg it started to glow his mother estimated the egg will hatch within the next couple of weeks.

Flashback End

Ash looked at his new pokemon with joy he was glad he stayed an extra three days now he had two new Pokemon, one which is rare anywhere south in Kanto and one that could evolve into a Duel Fighting/Water Type.

Now that he thought of it, he thought of it he never scanned Pikachu so he got his Pokedex and got to get his pokedex then went to Pikachu and scanned him.

Pikachu, The Mouse Pokemon, This POKéMON has electricity-storing pouches on its cheeks. These appear to become electrically charged during the night while PIKACHU sleeps. It occasionally discharges electricity when it is dozy after waking up.

This Pikachu is Male and knows the moves Thundershock, Thunderwave, Quick Attack, Electro Ball and Double Team. Note this Pikachu is a high level.

"Wow Pikachu no wonder you were able to knock out those Beedrill you must be powerful."

"Pika pi" shouted Pikachu happily.

"Ok Pikachu let's head out and get going if we leave now we will be can Viridian By the evening."

Ash went downstairs ate breakfast with his mom and pokemon and then he stepped out side with his mom.

"Okay mom this is it im going on my journey." With a firm voice.

"Oh, my little boy is growing up" said Delia teary eyed.

"Ok mom see you, i'll make sure to call you i get to Veridian" said Ash as he started to run to the gate knowing what his mother would say next.

"Make sure you change your underwear, my little man" shouted Delia as she saw him start running.

Ash cringed as he heard laughter coming from behind him knowing some people that were passing by laughed their butts off.

Within the next couple hours Ash battled at least a couple hours, Ash battled at least half a dozen trainers. He beat them all with both Ekans and Abra, he wanted his new pokemon to train more before he let them battle.

When he let them out to train for a few hours he had Poliwag train on his accuracy with both bubble and ice ball. He had Abra use Ice punch on boulders while running at them on different s angles by using teleport. Ekans was to drag weights so his body would become stronger for his wrap attack, then he would used Poison tail to cut trees in half that weren't home to pokemon. Pikachu improved his accuracy with electro ball and ran laps with weights to become faster.

Ash himself trained with weights and ran laps he wasin't going to bacome lazy and order his pokemon without training himself. He also found out that if he concentrated enough on his pokemon he could read their thoughts. He was curoies to what this was he though he was speacial after he cought a vase he acciendly dropped with out touvhing it. He didint tell his mother becasue he forgot about it after a while.

After training he returned his pokemon making sure his egg was secured in his pack he continued on his journey through the forest for a while, nothing happened then he saw a small bird pokemon, so he scanned it.

Spearow, The Tiny bird pokemon, SPEAROW has a very loud cry that can be heard over half a mile away. If its high, keening cry is heard echoing all around, it is a sign that they are warning each other of danger.

This Spearow know the moves Peck, Fury attack, leer and Pursuit.

"That is a powerful Spearow i hope it doesint cry out or i'm screwed."

"Pika" whispered Pikachu

"Ok Pikachu use thunderwave and combined it with thundershock" said Ash

"pika Chuuuuuuuuu!" cried Pikachu when he fired both bolts at the unexspected pokemon who cried out as he was both paralzed and hurt badly by the electric mouse.

It was about to turn around but when it did it was hit by a full on run of quick attack. It was flung back into a tree, it opened it's eyes knowing what was about to happen and gave a almighty cry "SSSPPEEAARRROOOOWWWWW!" before being hit and sucked into a pokeball.

'Oh no i have to get out of here quickly befo-' his thoughts were cut off when he heard the beating of many wings sounding like war drums coming straight for him.

He turned around to see almost three dozen Spearow and two Fearow flying straight toward him with a look of fury on their faces that would have made a grown man running for the hills, but this not a man but boy who would go to the ends of the earth to protect his pokemon he quickly scooped up Pikachu and took off running.

He ran up to a cliff and saw a body of water, so with his Pikachu in his arms he jumped off the cliff and into the water he was holding onto Pikachu for what it felt like an hour, when it had been for a minute and was suddenly thrown out of the water and landed hard on the gound he looked up to see and a cute redhead looking down at him.

"why were you in the water" she asked

He quickly answered me and my Pikachu just caught a Spearow when it cryed out and it's flock came, then he saw the bike.

"please can we use you bike i need to get to the Pokemon center" he pleaded

She saw the worry on his face and said "ok go i'll walk there i get my bike there"

"Thank you" and with that he took off down the rode on her bike. They passed a bunch of other wild Pokémon that were in the trees and they all stared as Ash and Pikachu biked by, with one angry flock of Spearow on their tail.

"let's keep going Pikachu i won't let them get you" Ash promised. Pikachu looked up at Ash with a new light he now new his trainer would be a good trainer and a friend to him, but not for long as the Spearow caught up and began pecking at Pikachu and Ash causing them to fall off the bike and on the ground.

"Pika" Pikachu cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

"Leave him alone Spearow" Ash shouted pushing them away and getting to Pikachu. Ash quickly picked it up and continued to run as fast as he could. Ash ran down a path and slid down a hill and continued to run. He looked down at Pikachu to see that the poor thing was banged up and hurt pretty badly. "Just hold on a little longer Pikachu. We're almost to the Pokémon center" Ash gasped as he forced his legs to run faster.

Up in the sky clouds began to darken, thunder began roaring and lightning began flashing. Ash ignored the rain that began to fall as it pelted him. Ash covered up Pikachu as best as he could, but then one of the Spearow launched a powerful gust attack at Ash knocking him off balance and making him fly into the mud where he crashed and lost grip of Pikachu. Ash groaned as he looked up from his position on the ground to see Pikachu lying a few feet from him. Ash crawled over to Pikachu and touched it slightly making Pikachu look up and give a small "chu."

"It's gonna be okay Pikachu" Ash said. Groaning slightly Ash turned and pulled out Pikachu's Pokeball, "I know that you hate going inside the Pokeball, but it's the only way I can save you right now." Ash enlarged the Pokeball and set it down in front of Pikachu, "Just trust me Pikachu and get inside."

Ash got up and turned to the massive flock of Spearow "Here me Spearow" Ash shouted. "I'm Ash Ketchum from the Town of Pallet. I'm going to become the best Pokémon Master in the World. And I'm not gonna be stopped here by all of you. I'll take you all on and defeat all of you." Lightning flashed again, "Come and get me" Ash shouted. The Spearow did just that and charged at Ash. In slow motion they got closer and closer to Ash, but Pikachu found even new respect and fondness for Ash and his selflessness and forced itself up and ran towards Ash. It jumped up his body to his shoulder and jumped towards the Spearow. Ash gasped as Pikachu and the Spearow nearly collided, but then a lightning bolt struck right in front of Ash and hit Pikachu just as it was about to launch a thundershock attack.

The lightning amplified Pikachu's attack making it 20x more powerful and it blasted away all of the Spearow and Ash.

A while later the sun came out with both Ash and Pikachu lying on the ground out cold from the attack. Ash woke up and opened his eyes and Pikachu also opened its eyes and they both looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"We beat 'em" Ash said to Pikachu.

"Chu" Pikachu agreed. Something was flying high above them and Ash looked up to see a massive Phoenix shaped Pokémon flying overhead across the rainbow and before it disappeared he thought it looked down at him and drop something when it floated he went to see what it was and saw it was a feather.

"Was that… Ho-oh" Ash asked himself shocked he just saw one of the rarest pokemon in the world. Deciding to put it out of his mind Ash picked up Pikachu, "Let's get you all fixed up now okay Pikachu" Ash said. Pikachu nodded and licked Ash on the chin slightly making him smile. He checked his pokeball relieved when he saw all of them there and then his egg which was still secured in his backpack.

Ash continued over a hill and once he did he saw Viridian City right over the horizon. "Viridian City" Ash whispered quietly 'Alright Pikachu I'll get you fixed up. I promise' Ash thought as he went down the hill and towards the Viridian Pokémon center.
