Ash's Journey Version I

Notes: This fanfiction is based around lovecartoonsandanime's story 'Ash's Pokemon Journey'

I do not own Pokemon just the story

Note: I'm so sorry for not updating this in so long, but as of right now I'm going to properly go over this and correct the mistakes I've made. Hopefully fixing my errors will bring back my drive for this story, I don't even have the next chapter started yet :(

Prologue: 12 years before the start of the anime in Pallet Town

"Delia Willow will you marry me?" asked a tall man with dark raven hair and deep amber eyes

"Of course! Steven Ketchem!" cried Delia with joy. The other people in the cafe cheered for the happy couple

Three weeks later the wedding took place with Steven taking care of all the expenses as he was not only from one of the oldest and wealthiest families in the world he was also a world famous archaeologist; and just like the rest of his family he was a very humble man

Delia's closer family members did show up for the wedding, but the rest didn't like that she chose to live in a small town amongst what they thought were lesser beings as everyone in Delia's family were psychic and tended to think that they are better than everyone else. However they highly respected the Ketchem family as they were an ancient family and were known as one of the few families that were known for having Aura Guardians come from it that still existed

Two years Later after many hours of labor

"Oh my gosh look at our little Ash, he is so adorable!" said an exhausted Delia with adoration

"Yes and he will be very powerful when he grows up." stated Steven with awe

"I know he's inherited both our families powers, and they are already incredibly strong" agreed Delia looking at the little bundle in her arms and sighed happily

"You know dear he might even become greater than his ancestor Sir Ashton Ketchem someday." replied Ash's father

"Well I know my relatives will want to start his psychic training right away, but I know that is a very bad idea as it has lead to a few cases were the child wound up mute and only could speak with telepathy. So I think we should start with simple control until he is at least five." Delia said with a sigh

"I agree" replied Steven

10 years Later

As Ash Ketchem grew up he became a very well liked child who was incredibly kind and helpful especially with Pokemon. He also studied very hard and learned a lot of useful things for his journey

As Ash grew and learned how to wield his gifts he had taken on a mindset of not relying on them to much and only using them if need be. He also went to many regions and meet lots of different types of Pokemon and meet the regional professors and is now ready to start his Pokemon journey and catch all kinds of Pokemon, challenge the leagues and become one of the best trainers in the world

A ten year old boy with spiky raven hair and brown eyes awoke with a yawn "Oh man I can't believe today I get to go on my journey." the boy then got up, showered, brushed his teeth and then went downstairs to eat breakfast

"Good morning Ash" called Delia who had light brown hair and was wearing a pink blouse

"Morning mom" replied Ash as he sat down at the table

"Ready to start your journey?" asked Delia as she brought Ash his breakfast

"Yep all set and ready to go" replied Ash as he ate

"Now Ash which starter are you going to pick?" asked a curious Delia as Ash didn't say which starter he was going to get

Ash answered "I think I will go with a charmander, they can be a bit of a handful but when they evolve into charizard then they'll have an aerial advantage in a battle"

Ash then finished his breakfast and headed to Professor Oak's lab to get his starter. As Ash approached the lab he saw the other new trainers and his rival Gary Oak waiting outside

"Well it looks like the other prodigy has turned up." Gary said with a slight annoyance as Ash was the only other new trainer from Pallet that was just as smart about Pokemon as he was, and Gary tended to look down on those who were not as skilled, but since Ash was not only very smart, but came from a more famous family and had amazing abilities, Gary was much nicer to Ash (Similar to after the Silver League) than to the other two new trainers

"Ah, you have arrived." said a voice from the door, it was Prof. Oak the Kanto region's lead professor and the one who gives out starter Pokemon to new trainers in the Kanto region

"Well now lets get started shall we." said Prof. Oak happily. The professor led the small group to a room that held a set of pokeballs on a table

"Now I only have one of each starter right now unfortunately so one of you will have to wait" Said the professor sadly

"I'll wait" said Ash

"Well then I'll have the advantage!" exclaimed Gary

"Well I'm not surprised Ash you are always thinking of others over your self." said the girl in the group who wore a mainly green outfit

"Well Leaf I bet your going with the bulbasuar and Blaze your going with the charmander, so I'm gonna take the squirtle." said Gary knowing how the other two were

"Jeez Gary, don't need to spoil it." Said the other boy in the group who had fiery red hair and wore a red-orange outfit who was identified as Blaze

Soon the other three new trainers got their new Pokemon, pokedexs and pokeballs and headed out. Leaving Ash alone with the professor

"I know you have a another Pokemon professor, so, can I see it?" asked Ash

"Well I suppose so since it has been giving me some trouble since I caught it." replied the professor pulling out another pokeball that had a lightning bolt sticker on it

"Wait a minuet!" exclaimed Ash grabbed the pokeball and sent out the pokemon inside; reviling a pikachu that immediately cheeked it's surroundings, stopped on Ash and then ran up to him crying with joy and relief

"I knew it! It's the pichu I met in Johto! How did you get him!?" exclaimed Ash with a hint of anger

"Oh my! I am so sorry pikachu I didn't recognize you! No wounder you were so angry, I could have kept you from fulfilling you and Ash's promise to each other by mistake" apologized the deeply sorry professor

"It's okay professor I'm just glad to keep our promise even if his is my starter." said Ash with some relief

'I'm just glad to be with you too Ash, though I'm still upset with the old man' agreed pikachu

"He-he me two buddy, me too" snickered Ash

"I'm guessing he's still mad with me" mumbled the professor

Ash got the normal set of items for new trainers from Prof. Oak but also was given a pokegear and some specialty balls as well as some extra pokefood

As Ash was walking down the hill from Prof. Oak's lab Ash was given a wonderful surprise his father was waiting for him as well as most of the town

"Dad!" cried Ash as he ran the rest the way down

"Well I wasn't going to miss the start of my son's journey now was I?" chuckled Steven, Ash's father. "Now son I have a gift for you," Said Steven pulling out a pokemon egg from inside his satchel and handing it over to a shocked Ash "a riolu egg."

"No way..." whispered Ash in awe

"Now which starter did you get? I want to see" asked his father just as pikachu jumped up onto Ash's shoulder.

"Ah a pikachu...wait that's the pichu you befriended, right?" asked Steven

"Yeah Prof. Oak caught him accidentally apparently, but I guess it turned out alright" replied Ash with a shrug

"Well son, I need to get back to the dig sight soon, but I hope I see you on your trip" said Steven "and good luck you two, me and your mom love you."

"I love you too dad and say bye to mom for me." replied Ash as he headed off to route 1

As Ash was leaving Pallet Ash's friend Blaze showed up asking Ash if he could come with on his journey and that he knew that Ash would have gotten a different pokemon to start his journey anyway. Ash didn't have any problems with that and so they headed down route one together

While on route one Ash saw some pidgeys, rattatas and spearows, with Blaze catching a rather feisty spearow after Ash had it explain to it's flock that it was being challenged to see if it would be caught, since the area has had numerous accounts of spearow flocks attacking people for getting them angry. After a days worth of travel the group decided to make camp next to a river

-Next Morning-?- P.O.V.

As I'm headed to a small river to go fishing I notice a small campsite nearby so I decide to be quite so I don't wake them up. After an hour I get a bite, but it turns out to be...

Normal P.O.V.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" a high pitched scream is heard startling Ash and Blaze and having them rushing out and seeing a redheaded girl with a gyarados at the end of her fishing line screaming her head off

"Agh! It's a gyarados!" Exclaimed Blaze in fear

However Ash calmly had pikachu use a Thunderbolt attack on it to scare it off, however Blaze secretly caught the weakened pokemon when no one was looking as he couldn't let such a strong pokemon get away as to have a better chance in gym battles

The redhead thanked Ash and introduced her self as Misty "Wait Misty, as in Misty Waterflower of the Cerulean Gym and the strongest of the four gum leaders?" asked Ash

Misty paled a bit at Ash's question but answered anyway "Yes I am, but I had a bit of an argument with my older sisters, so I left to become a stronger water pokemon trainer and prove to them that I am better then they think, also thanks for thinking that I'm the strongest of the four."

"No problem, I've seen some of the battles you've had on T.V. so I know your good." replied Ash, then he had an idea "Say you know your water types so would you like to come with us and help us become better trainers, we just started a few days ago and we could always use the company?"

"You know what Ash, I accept your offer." answered Misty after thinking it over

"Hey don't I get a say in this?!" asked Blaze. Ash just simply shook his head no.

So the group packed up camp and headed to Viridian City to restock and get some training done. On the way to Viridian City Ash noticed a large golden bird pokemon in the sky leaving a rainbow after it. "

I can't believe it, that's HO-OH!" Cried a stunned Ash. Just then a Large feather fell in front of Ash "and this is a Rainbow Wing" Ash added in a whisper as he picked it up carefully

"Ho-Oh? I've never heard about that pokemon before." Said Misty with confusion

"Ho-Oh is a legendary pokemon from Johto and only shows it self to those with a pure heart." explained Ash. "But what's even more amazing is that Ho-Oh was golden meaning it was a shiny pokemon and gave me a gift."

At Ash's response Misty was just simply awestruck that she was travailing with an amazing and clearly kind hearted trainer

As the group enter Viridian City Ash sees a security checkpoint and lets the other two know so that they can pass quickly. As they get near an Officer Jenny comes out and asks for identification and why the pikachu is not in it's pokeball, as they show her their I.D.s Ash explains that pikachu doesn't like being inside his ball at all, and soon the group reach the pokemon center and rent a room for the night

Afterwards Ash has pikachu try and learn Iron Tail so he has an advantage at the Pewter City Gym which is a rock type gym and advises Blaze to teach his charmander to learn Metal Claw and his spearow Steel Wing so that they can at least have a chance. So the Ash and a reluctant Blaze spend the day teaching their pokemon steel type attacks with pikachu and charmander almost mastering their respected moves but spearow kept pecking Blaze every time he got upset with Blaze's yelling

-Later that night-

When Ash, Misty and Blaze came back to the pokemon center the group gave their pokemon to Nurse Joy for healing.

While waiting Ash called his mom. "Hey honey, how are you?"

"Fine mom" so Ash spoke to his mom for few minutes then called Prof. Oak

"Ah, Ash my boy how are you? Catch any new pokemon?" he asked

"No not yet, but Blaze caught a spearow." answered Ash "Though I did see a shiny Ho-Oh" Prof. Oak was shocked at those words and even more so when Ash showed him the rainbow wing as proof "Well Ash I can already see that your journey is going to be quite a exiting one" Just then a doorbell rang "Oh, that must be my pizza! Goodby Ash and good luck!"

After Ash was done calling a voice was heard over the intercom "Will Ash, Misty and Blaze please come and pick up your pokemon at the front desk"

As Ash, Misty and Blaze were getting their pokemon back from being healed up two pokeballs fall threw one of the skylights releasing a ekans and koffing who releases smoke which begins to fill the room

"Hey what's going on?" asked a startled Blaze

Ash's eyes quickly glowed blue as he flicked his hands revealing (Come on you know who...) startling the trio causing them not to notice Ash's eyes returning to normal

"What just happened to our smokescreen?" exclaimed James

"Does it matter! Our grand entrance has been ruined!" yelled Jessie.

Ash quickly scanned their memories and found that even though they are a part of Team Rocket deep down they are still good people, they just had a ruff life and made some bad choices.

"Alright you crooks what are you doing here!?" demanded the Nurse Joy

"Were here to take all of the strong and rare pokemon here." stated Meowth shocking everyone but Ash who just calmly said "As if I'll let you three steal other people's pokemon, as a future Aura Guardian it is my duty to stop crooks like you, Go Pikachu THUNDERBOLT!"

Pikachu shouts 'Take This!' as he unleashes a large beam of electricity at the trio and blasts them out of the building, leaving a rather large hole in the wall.

"Wait did I hear you say 'Aura Guardian'?" asked Misty in wounder

"Yep, I also have psychic powers as well as my aura abilities" explained Ash

"Yeah, Ash is a member of the Ketchem family after all." added Blaze.

Misty was amazed that she was traveling with a member of one of the most renowned families in the world and knew that sticking by his side she would reach her dream as well. So Ash and his friends stayed the night at the pokemon center and the next day headed out to Viridian Forest

-Next Day-

"Umm Ash do we have to go threw the forest?" asked a nervous Misty.

"Let me guess, you don't like bug types?" asked a knowing Ash

"Hey! Did you read my mind?" asked a upset Misty

"What? No it was just obvious since the forest is full of bug types, plus I don't use my powers like that, it's a invasion of privacy" retorted a slightly saddened Ash "and I really don't like it that other psychics abuse that power."

"Oh, sorry" apologized Misty

"Anyways you could just use a repel to keep them away." suggested Blaze

So the group entered Viridian Forest and after an hour of travel Ash noticed a caterpie and announced that he was going to catch it giving Misty fair warning to stay back. Ash simply walked over to the caterpie and offered it some berries and asked if it wanted to come with him to which the caterpie happily agreed to.

Soon after Ash had also captured a pidgeotto with ease using pikachu. However their good mood was soon befouled by Team Rocket who declared that they would be taking Ash's powerful pikachu, but were bested by Ash's caterpie's excellent use of String Shot and Tackle which allowed it to evolve into metapod.

"Huh, who would of thought that a caterpie could win a two on one battle like that." observed Blaze who was a little awe struck

-A Few Days Latter-

We find Ash and Blaze staring down two weedles trying to catch them. Meanwhile Misty was off on her own trying to avoid the local bugs as much as possible when a sword suddenly appears in her face causing her to cry out "What is the matter with you!?"

The person who's wielding the sword simply asks "Are you perhaps one of the trainers from Pallet? And if you don't want to attract the beedrill is suggest you quiet down"

"No I'm from Cerulean City, but my friends are." answered Misty "But you may not want to startle them, one has psychic powers and he probably could send you flying for startling him."

The boy's eyes widened when Misty said psychic powers "You don't mean the one called Ash?" "Yeah, why?" "Well one of the trainers from Pallet said that Ash was actually as good as he was." answered the boy who then ran off to find Ash

-Back with Ash-

"Hey Blaze don't look now but some trainer with a wooden sword is about to swing at you." said Ash calmly

"WHAT!" yelled Blaze turning around to find a sword in his face "AHH!"

"SHHHH!" hushed Ash "Do you want a swarm of beedrill to attack!?"

"Opes, sorry." apologized Blaze

"Now I can tell your a trainer looking for a battle right?" asked a slightly annoyed Ash

"Yes, I, Samurai, wish to face the four trainers from Pallet." answered Samurai.

"Well next time you want a battle don't point a sword in their face." Ash deadpanned. "Anyways I'll battle you now, but lets be quick in case we get swarmed by beedrill."

"Agreed." Stated Samurai getting into a battle stance "GO Pinsir!" as the boy released his pokemon

"Great another bug type." complained Misty as she caught up

"Ok, go metapod!" cried Ash as he sent out his own bug type.

"Ha! I'll crush it easily!" yelled Samurai "Use Vicegrip!"

The pinsir quickly garbed Ash's metapod to crush it but Ash had told metapod to use Harden which broke the pinsir's horns giving Ash the first win

"Good job metapod return!" praised Ash as he returned his pokemon

"You two pinsir, now go metapod!" said Samurai

Ash then sent out his pidgeotto and one shot the metapod with a Steel Wing attack, then it was going to be Blaze's turn but a swarm of beedrill arrived splitting the group. After a couple of hours Ash, Misty and Blaze found each other again but had lost track of Samurai

"Well that stunk, at least I got me a beedrill out of it." remarked a smug Blaze

-A Few Days Later on the edge of Pewter City-

Ash and his friends had finally gotten out of Viridian Forest much to Misty's relief. During the time it took the group to get out of the forest the Group's pokeom had grown stronger and learned new moves, and Ash's metapod had evolved into butterfee.

"Phew, we are finally out of the those bug infested woods." sighed Misty with relief.

"Well it's good to know that we are able to restock our supplies now and get our first gym badge." added Ash as the group entered the city

"So you wish to face the gym, then come back when your stronger." said a voice from behind.

The group turned to see a older man behind them.

"Why?" asked Blaze

"Because" answered the man "you two don't look like you'd fair very well against the gym leader"

"Wait a minuet." said Ash after getting a good look a the man "aren't you Flint Stone the real gym leader who left on journey to become much stronger leaving your eldest son Brock to run it? And then vanished"

Flint was shocked that Ash had seen threw his disguise so easily and looked down in shame "Sadly yes, I did, but I failed and now I can't bring my self to show my face to my family."

"Well did you know that your wife went missing shortly after as well." asked Ash "Cuz, I heard about that on the news"

"So did I" said both Misty and Blaze.

Flint looked even more guilty "I think it's time I go and make it up to my children for being gone for so long" Flint then walked off in a slump.

"Well that was interesting" remarked Blaze

"Lets just get to the pokemon center and get ready." said Ash.

After the group had their pokemon checked out they went to the gym. When went inside all the lights were off and a voice calls out "Who goes there?"

"Ash Ketchem and Blaze Blitz of Pallet town, we wish to challenge your gym Brock." Ash called back, suddenly all the lights turned on reveling a 15ish male sitting in the middle of the stone battlefield who replied

"Then I accept your challenge, who would like to go first?"

"I will!" Yelled Blaze

"Fine by me this will be a two on two battle." replied Brock, who was interested in Ash hoping for a wonderful battle with him.

"Alright I'll go first, Go Geodude!" Brock said as he sent out said pokemon

"Alright, GO CHARMANDER!" Yelled Blaze as he sent out his starter

"A fire type against a rock/ground type. Bad move." said Brock

"We'll see about that! Use Fire Spin! Charmander!" Yelled Blaze.

"Stop that with Rollout." Brock calmly said geodude began to spin incredibly fast as the Fire Spine reached it dispelling it and charged at charmander

"Quick use Metal Claw to stop it!" Ordered Blaze.

Charmander quickly obeyed the command but when the two attacks met it caused a large explosion and when the dust settled both pokemon were knocked out. "A double knockout, interesting." Brock said quietly "Alright go Onix!" called Brock as he sent out a large stone snake "Then I'll use GYARADOS!" Yelled Blaze as he he sent out the atrocious pokemon.

"Isn't that the same gyarados that I had scared off?" asked a shocked Ash

"Yep, caught it while you and Misty were talking, it was pretty week at that point." answered Blaze.

Brock however was very much surprised that a rookie had such a powerful pokemon in such a short time. "Ok, gyarados use Aqua Tail!" called Blaze

"Stop that attack with Tackle and then use Rock Blast!" ordered Brock with some worry.

Gyarados swung it water coated tail at onix who was charging at it trying to knock it away, unfortunately the Aqua Tail was more powerful and sent onix into the wall, but onix was able to fire a barrage of rocks that hit home and did decent damage, Blaze's gyarados at this unleashed a powerful Dragon Rage that knocked out onix.

"Good job gyarados you did wonderfully!" praised Blaze, the pokemon looked fairly smug with it self, but looked at Blaze with rebellion in its eyes

"Well Ash if you give me a moment I will go and heal my pokemon, then we can battle." said Brock.

After a few minuets Brock returned from a back room that held a healing machine and got back to his spot.

"Alright the battle between Ash Ketchem of Pallet Town and Brock Stone the gym leader will now begain." called out Forest, Brock younger brother and referee.

"Go onix!" Called Brock sending out his rock snake. "Then I'll use pidgeotto!" responded Ash calling out his bird pokemon.

"Alright then I'll make the first move" said Brock "Use Tackle, then use Bind!"

"Pidgeotto doge with quick attack and then hit it with your Steel Wing!" retaliated Ash.

Pidgeotto followed Ash's command without flaw and hit onix hard on its head sending it reeling from the damage, but not knocking it out

"Onix quick use Dragon Breath!" called out Brock surprising both Ash and Pidgeotto causing Pidgeotto to get hit hard

"Pidgeotto quick end this with a Steel Wing barrage!" ordered Ash.

Pidgeotto quickly recovered and struck Onix numerous times knocking it out on the fourth pass.

"Onix is unable to battle, Pidgeotto is the winner!" said Forest.

"Ok, Pidgeotto return and get a good rest." said Ash recalling his tired pokemon.

"Well Ash you get to face my strongest pokemon, Boldore!" yelled Brock shocking the others

"How did you get a Unovain pokemon?" asked Ash

"Simple, my dad had given it to me before he left." answered Brock.

"Well then I'll use Pickachu!" said Ash.

Pickachu jumped off of Ash's shoulder as Ash called its name and had sparks coming from his cheeks

"Alright round two begin!" called Forest

"Boldore use Power Gem! Multifire!" Yelled Brock hoping to get an early lead.

"Counter that with Discharge!" called Ash

Pikachu easily overpowered the Power Gem and hit the Boldore incredibly hard and paralyzing it

"Boldore NO!" cried Brock

"Pikachu end this with Iron Tail!" Ash said with confidence.

Pikachu easily ran up the the nearly beaten Boldore and simply smacked it over the head finishing it off.

"Boldore is unable to battle, Pickachu wins and the match goes to the challenger Ash Ketchem!" said Forest.

"Well Blaze, Ash I present you with the Boulder Badge" said Brock as he handed them their badges

"Thanks, I know I would have lost if I didn't have gyarados." said Blaze rubbing the back of his head.

"Well you sure gave us quite the start there." grumbled Misty

"Well I wish you luck on your journey." said Brock

"Hey, Brock what is your dream?" suddenly asked Ash

"Well since you asked, I wish to become a great pokemon breeder, but since I have to take care of the gym and my siblings I can't leave." answered Brock sadly.

"Brock follow your dream, it's time for me to take responsibility for my actions and take charge again." said a voice from the door.

"Dad?" gasped Brock and his siblings.

"Flint I see you decided to come back." said Ash

"So, what did you get to make up for being gone for so long?" asked Misty.

Flint smiled and said "Simple, I got them all a pokemon."

"Really!?" asked the Stone children

"Yes, now Brock I'm sure there some things we need to talk about, so how about we discus things over dinner tonight and get you all set to go follow your dream." replied Flint, who was grateful that his children didn't seem too upset with him

Brock invited Ash and his friends over for dinner before they head to the pokemon center, to which the group happily accepted. The Next day Ash, Misty and Blaze met up with Brock at the edge of town and said goodby to Brock's family.

"So were to next?" asked Blaze

"We need to go threw Mt. Moon to get to Cerulean City and our next badge." answered Ash

So the gang headed off to their next adventure with their heads held high.

(This was the point meant to be the end of the first chapter)

-Two Days Later-

Ash and the gang had finally reached the base of Mt. Moon when they heard a man screaming.

"Let's go see what's going on!" yelled Ash.

As the group got closer to the source of the screaming they saw a bunch of zubats attack a man

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt to send those zubats away!" cried Ash

'Back Off!' yelled Pikachu as he sent a bolt of electricity at the zubat swarm.

Brock and Blaze both quickly caught one of the stragglers each as they looked pretty hurt from the Thunderbolt attack.

"Thank you for saving me." thanked the man.

"Don't worry about it too much, just tell us why they were attacking you?" replied Ash

"Well now, lets get introductions taken care of first." said the man "My name is Seimour, I work a the Pewter City Museum, and I came here to solve why the pokemon are acting weird around here."

"Oh, well I'm Ash and these are my friends Misty, Blaze and Brock." answered Ash.

"Ok, now I'll tell you what I've found if you'll follow me." said Seimour beckoning the group to follow him.

While the group were walking down some of the tunnels Seimour explained that while there are lights strung threw Mt. Moon there are only enough for people to see and not cause ant problems for the pokemon, but someone had strung up a bunch of very bright lights and that's what has been bothering the pokemon.

"So that's why the zubat had flown out during the day, and why they attacked." said Ash

"Right and I believe that who ever did this is looking for the Moonstone, an ancient meteorite that crashed here a long time ago that is said to hold special powers." explained Seimour

"That power is probably is being able to evolve pokemon who evolve with a normal moonstone repetitively." noted Ash

"You know I think you might be right." agreed Seimour.

Just then Brock noticed a pink pokemon go by. "Hey I think that's a clefairy."

"It is and it's carrying a moonstone" Ash pointed out "Lets follow it carefully so we don't spook it."

As the group were following the clefairy they were attacked by Team Rocket again

"Come ON!" complained Blaze "WHY!?"

"Look James the boy's upset at us, how sweet." joked Jessie

"I'm guessing that they are the ones who set up all the lights." said Ash

"How dare you scoundrels! Don't you know that your upsetting the pokemon that live here!?" yelled Seimour

"Shame" Mocked Jessie

"Well your not getting away with this! Go charmander!" yelled Blaze as he sent out his starter "Use Fire Spin right at them!"

Jessie, James and Meowth quickly ducked out of the way of the flames

"HEY! I know were the bad guys here, but that doesn't mean you roast US!" yelled Meowth

"OK smart guy now your gonna get it." growled Jessie.

Jessie and James sent out koffing and ekans and ordered them to attack Blaze's charmander with Poison Sting and Sludge which hit the charmander fairly hard knocking it back.

Ash meanwhile sent out his butterfree and had it use gust to blow Team Rocket away, then scolds Blaze for his actions "Blaze what were you thinking!? You can't attack people like that, you could lose your trainer's license for that."

Blaze looked down in shame and apologized for his actions

Ash suddenly realizes something "Hey, I didn't see Meowth fly off with the other two, were did he go?"

"Don't know, but lets follow the clefairy to keep it safe" replied Seimour.

Ash and his friends agreed and as they followed the clefairy it led them deeper into the mountain and eventually led them to the fabled Moonstone.

"Amazing I never thought to actually find it." whispered Seimour with a strange dark undertone.

Ash caught on and did a quick mind read and then sent out his entire team and ordered them to surround Seimour

"Ash What on earth are you doing?!" exclaimed Brock with shock "Seimour is one of the best scientists in Pewter City so you why did surrounded him with your pokemon?"

"Brock, I'm psychic and I found that he really works undercover for Team Galactic, group similar to Team Rocket, but are from Sinnoh, and they're after the Moonstone."

Seimour was visibly upset that his cover was blown so he sent out his pokemon metang and bronzor

"So you figured out my little secrete, well then I guess I'll have to take the Moonstone by force! Metang, Bronzor use confusion!" yelled Seimour.

Ash commanded his pokemon to strike back with Thunderbolt, Twister and Psybeam, Brock sent out his Rhyhorn and told it to use Crunch, Blaze sent out Charmander and told him to use Fire Spin and Misty sent out Starmie and told it to use Power Gem.

All of the attacks hit the two opposing pokemon and caused a explosion that blocked everyone's view for a few seconds, but when the smoke cleared both of Seimour's pokemon were surrounded in a green barrier.

"Darn they used Protect." said Ash

"We need to hit them harder if we want to win." noted Misty

"Power, well I got the power, go Gyarados use Dragon Rage!" cried Blaze as he sent out his strongest pokemon.

Gyarados had a quick look around and then instantly unleashed its attack at the enemy pokemon.

"Quick help Gyarados by using your strongest attack everyone!" yelled Ash who began forming a Aura Sphere in between his hands, as all the pokemon begain charging their attacks.

Suddenly two powerful blasts of silver energy were sent towards Ash and just as they were about to hit Pikachu jumped in front and put up a force-field that stopped the attacks.

"Pikachu did you just learn Light Screen?!" asked a shocked Ash who then yelled "While that's great and all lets end this NOW!" sending his Aura Sphere at the two opposing pokemon with the others following suet overpowering the combined Protect from the two and knocking them out

"It's over Seimour." said Ash as he waved his hand in front of him sending Seimour and his pokemon away.

"Ash what did you to him? And what was that power you threw at him?" asked Brock

"I sent Seimour to the International Police Headquarters were one of my relatives works with my psychic powers and for what I used against his pokemon was my aura" answered Ash

"You told me that you had amazing powers, I just didn't expect you to be so well skilled with them." replied Brock with awe

Just then the clefairy who had ran away when things suddenly went south came back and thanked Ash and his friends by letting them watch them sing and dance in prayer to the Moonstone, and giving them each a normal moonstone as well, the group also noticed that it was night and a full moon was out.

As the clefairy finished their ritual the large Moonstone glowed with power and bits of it broke off and landed on some of the clefairy evolving them into clefable. Ash and the gang decided to get some sleep out under the stars surrounded by their pokemon, though Misty stayed far away from Blazes gyarados as she was still scared of it.

The next mourning as Ash and his friends were leaving Mt. Moon behind one of the clefairys came running up to Ash with a longing look in its eyes

"Ash I think she wants to go with you." commented Brock

"I think your right," answered Ash as he pulled out a pokeball "so go pokeball." the pokeball landed on the clefairy's head and sucked it in shacking a few times before dinging telling ash that he had caught it.

Suddenly a bright light was coming from Ash's bag.

"I think the egg's hatching!" cried Ash with joy as he pulled out the glowing egg and took it out of the incubator.

"Man your so lucky, getting two rare pokemon in one day." said Blaze with a hint of jealousy and to the slight confusion of Misty and Brock

The egg then gave off a very bright light blinding everyone and when everyone could see again they saw a small jackal like pokemon sitting in Ash's lap

"Welcome to the world Riolu." smiled Ash who had sparkles in his eyes '

Papa?' asked the little pokemon as it opened its eyes and saw Ash

"Yes, Riolu I'm your papa, my name is Ash and these are my friends" answered Ash as he pointed out all his friends

'Yeah friends!" cried the little pokemon with joy.

Ash and his friends spent the first half of the day getting acquainted with the baby pokemon and after lunch Ash officially caught Riolu in a luxury ball.

While the group were headed down the road Ash saw a sign that said that Cerulean City was up a head but below that was a message from Gary saying that Blaze was a loser, causing him to lose his cool and run off, while he and the message told Ash good luck

-Two Days Later-

Ash and friends spent some time training a little bit while heading to Cerulean City and the next gym. While training Misty had caught a powerful shellder and had found it was almost as strong as her Starmie, much to her joy

As the group reached the edge of town Misty became nervous and told Ash and Brock that she would like to avoid the gym right now as she wasn't ready to see her sisters.

"That's fine Misty, could you see if you can find Blaze while I go get my badge, since he ran off like a maniac the other day." said Ash

"I need to get some supplies for us first before I do anything else" Brock told the other two

"Well you go get the supplies, I'll get go try for my badge." replied Ash calmly.

As the group headed into town and went their own ways Ash went to the pokemon center and had his pokemon checked on, then went to the gym.

When he got there he found that the gym was also had aquariums that had a lot of different water type pokemon in them. Ash heard a large amount of cheering coming from down the hall and when he reached the end he found a water show going on

"Ugh, I know Misty's sisters love their water shows but this is silly, I mean they have a seclude that was approved by the Pokemon League, but this isn't the right or approved time." grumbled Ash as he found a seat and watched the show

After the show ended Ash headed to the gym portion of the building and waited for Misty's sisters to show up. After waiting for about twenty minuets they finally show up

"Sorry no interviews" said Violet

"I'm not here for an interview or an autograph I'm here to get a badge." responded Ash coldly

"Woah kid, relax no need to get all serious" said Daisy "Look we just got beaten like earlier today by some brat from Pallet Town and we only have a goldeen right now and it isn't a very good battler"

Lily then added "But we know what you want, Seel come here"

A small white seallike pokemon came up from the pool and stuck out its tongue revealing on it was the cascade badge

"If you plan on just giving me the badge, I'm going to get Misty and battle her for it instead" Ash told the three sisters as Lily took the cascade badge from seel stunning them since they hadn't said that they were going to and that Ash would bring Misty back who would be very mad with them for trying to hand badges out again

"Well Ash I accept that challenge, since my sisters have lost their will to battle" said Misty as she came into the room looking upset. "and hopefully get them back into battling again. As I was alerted by an official from the League about you three trying to give away badges again."

Misty's sisters looked embarrassed and apologized about trying to give away the badge instead of having challengers fighting for it.

"Well Misty just because we're friends doesn't mean I'll go easy on you." Ash told Misty who responded with "Same here, so lets get started."

"This will be a two on two battle between Misty the gym leader and Ash..." started Daisy who took the role as referee "Um were are you from?"

"I'm from Pallet Town" Ash quickly answered.

Daisy continued "Ash of Pallet town!"

"I'll start off with Shellder!" Yelled Misty as she sent out her pokemon

"Then I'll use Clefairy!" responded Ash as he sent out his fairy type

"Wow I've never seen a Clefairy before." Violet said to her sisters

"Yeah, and Misty didn't have that shellder before either, and it looks strong too." added Lily

"Yeah, and he looks so confident and cute too." admired Daisy

"Shellder get in the pool and use Bubblebeam"

"Counter that with Sing before it get into the water!" cried Ash unfortunately Shellder got into the water before Clefairy could put it to sleep and got hit by the Bubblebeam

"Quick Shellder grab it with Clamp" called Misty

"Dodge that and counter with Magical Leaf while it is in the air!" countered Ash

As Shellder burst out of the water to clamp onto Clefairy, Clefairy jumped up into the air and unleashed a barrage of glowing leaves at the Sheller hitting it square on and sending it flying back into the pool and leaving Clefairy floating just above the water.

"Shellder use Bubblebeam again and then when Clefairy's in the water use Whirlpool!" ordered Misty

"Don't let it hit you Clefairy" called out Ash "try and use Metronome"

As Shellder tried to hit Clefairy, Clefairy readied Metronome and when it was done it turned into Draco Meteor which blasted the poor Shellder into unconsciousness and blowing large holes everywhere but also causing Clefairy to pass out as well from the strain of using the attack

"Both Shellder and Clefairy are unable to battle so it's down to each trainer's last pokemon" Daisy weakly called out still shaken up by the Draco Meteor

"Alright Starmie come on out" said Misty as she sent out her strongest pokemon

"Then I'll use Butterfree" replied Ash.

"Ash you do remember that Starmie knows Power Gem, Right?" asked a puzzled Misty

"I know, but butterfree is also the only one that has a super effective attack besides pikachu, and he doesn't want to fight a friend" replied Ash "Now butterfree use Signal Beam!"

Misty quickly had starmie counter with Rapid Spin and then attack with Power Gem which was too fast for butterfree to doge and was hit hard

"Hang in there!" cried out Ash with worry "Quick use Sleep Powder, then Signal Beam!"

"Dive into the water to doge then use Water Pulse" countered Misty.

While Starmie was able to avoid the Sleep Powder it was still hit by the Signal Beam and ended up getting confused. "Oh no Starmie snap out of it!" cried Misty

"Now butterfree use Signal Beam till it's knocked out" commanded Ash.

Butterfree aimed its attack at the submerged and confused Mysterious pokemon and struck it with such force that starmie was knocked into the bottom of the pool.

"Starmie is unable to battle, so the winner is Ash Ketchem of Pallet Town!" said Daisy

"Well Ash that was a close match" said Misty as she came over and handed Ash the Cascade Badge

"Thanks, but I it would have been a lot harder if starmie didn't get confused." replied a sheepish Ash.

After going to the pokemon center and getting his pokemon healed Ash and his friends were having lunch at Cerulean Bay when of all people Gary shows up calling out "Hey Ash!"

"Huh? Gary? What are you doing here?" asked a puzzled Ash

"Gramps wanted me to give you something and to let you know that he has raised your carry limit to eight." answered Gary handing over two packages "Also your mom sent a package for you too."

"Gee, thanks Gary" thanked Ash.

Ash first opened the package from his mother and got quite a surprise, an outfit similar to the ones Aura Guardians of old used to wear, but Ash's had Silver trimmings compared to the usual gold as well as pink orbs for the clasps to the cape that represented Ash's psychic powers.

"Wow, mom finally finished it." said an amazed Ash

"Well I guess it wont be hard to tell that you are an Aura Guardian know." said Brock

"So what did the professor send you?" asked Misty

"Lets see" said Ash as he opened the package "Oh cool! A portable transfer machine!"

"Lucky" Said Gary with a huff "All I got was a poochyena"

"Well we both got something cool," said Ash "I got a way to easily switch my pokemon and you got a Hoenn pokemon"

"Huh, well I have badges to win, soo smell yeah latter Ash." said Gary as he walked off

"I thought he was going to battle you Ash" remarked Brock "We agreed to have our first battle after we get all the badges and get back to Pallet." answered Ash.

"Well lets relax for the rest of the day and head out tomorrow" said Misty as she laid out on the ground.

The gang spent the rest of the day enjoying themselves and celebrating Ash's victory, everyone's pokemon also were trying to learn new moves on their own on and off while playing, much to the trainer's amusement

-The Next Day-

As Ash and his friends were heading to Vermillion City and the next gym Ash was battling various different trainers and winning each one pretty easily.

"Wow, your good" said the trainer Ash had just beaten "You could give AJ a run for his money"

"Who's AJ?" asked Ash.

The trainer explained that AJ was savage trainer and had his own gym down the road.

Ash thought it was a great way to test his abilities. Soon the group found AJ's gym

"Impressive" remarked Brock

"Yeah, and it's not even an official one." added Misty

"Thanks, now who would like to battle?" asked a voice from behind.

The group turned and saw a dark green haired boy who had a sandshrew with him.

"I will" answered Ash.

"Then this will be my 100th victory" said AJ as he pointed out the large sign above the entrance showing 99 wins and 2 losses.

"Wow that's impressive" remarked Ash "but I will still win"

AJ then led Ash to the battlefield "This will be a one on one match" said AJ with confidence "go sandshrew!" AJ's sandshrew ran onto the battlefield and got into a decent battle-stance

"Alright pikachu your up" called Ash. Pikachu leaped off of Ash's shoulder and got into a great battle-stance.

"Brock, is pickachu going to be ok?" asked Misty with worry

"Stop worrying, pickachu will be fine." assured Brock

"Sandshrew use swift, then dig" ordered AJ

"Don't let him pikachu use Quick Attack and Iron Tail!" countered Ash.

As sandshrew launched a volley of stars at pikachu it rushed ahead a such great speeds that it avoided Swift and slammed into sandshrew with Iron Tail with such force that sandshrew went flying several feet and slammed into the wall of the gym knocking it out instantly.

After several seconds AJ stammered out "I-I-I have never seen a pokemon go so fast in my life and one shot sandshrew like that"

"Well sorry I wasn't your 100th win, but that was a good strategy to attack first with Swift then stop any counter attacks with Dig." replied Ash.

Brock then asked if they could see his other pokemon. AJ agreed and led them into the tent in the center of the field. Inside were a bunch of various pokemon with some sort of training gear on them. Sandshrew was then seen climbing a ladder and jumping into a pool of water.

"This is were I train my pokemon and house my supplies" explained AJ, then he saw sandshrew climb out of the pool.

He then cracked a whip ordering "Get back into the water."

Ash saw some ratatta jumping threw rings of fire, a beedrill and butterfree sparing

"Wow AJ, your pokemon look fairly well, but the whip is a bit too much" said Ash as he was looking around

"Thanks Ash, most trainers say that I'm to harsh to my pokemon."

"While I understand this kind of training, your pokemon are not getting enough nutrients or rest to properly grow" replied Ash

"Huh? How can you tell? I thought they were fine" asked a puzzled AJ

"Simple, my aura tells me, they may look fine on the surface, but they are going to start becoming weaker to illness in about a month if you don't change a few things." answered Ash "and luckily I know just what to do to turn your pokemon's health around."

"Aura huh? I guess that explains your getup." responded AJ with a hint of awe.

So Ash and his friends stayed with AJ for lunch and Ash telling AJ what changes he needed to make and how to tell if his pokemon's health starts to deteriorate sooner so he can help them faster and avoid any serious health problems in the future much to AJ's relief.
