Ash had made it to Cerulean City in due time. The sun was still up and it was around noon. He held Volt on his shoulder. Chrysalis flew overhead, perching on his head occasionally.

"Free Butterfree," she said, flying around the gym. Ash laughed and walked inside. He was surprised that the gym was not battling, due to the triple losses faced by the Pallet Town leaders. He was about to tell the Pokemon League to change the gym leader, when a certain orange haired girl came in.

"Oh, it is the runt," Daisy said, as her sisters giggled. However, Misty could not have them just hand out badges and decided to battle Ash. Ash grinned and nodded.

"If I win, I get the badge. But if you do…"

"You need to give me the Golduck at your side," Misty said, smirking. Ash gawked and she crooned at the water Pokemon, who turned away from her with a look of distaste.

"That's not fair though. I am not going to put my Pokemon on the line!" Ash yelled. However Misty shook her head and held up a Poke-ball. Ash gritted his teeth and pointed to the water below.

"Go, Aquarius," he said, as his Golduck began swimming in the water. Misty sent out a Starmie and it spinned rapidly.

"Psychic!" they both ordered, and a double psychic took place. The attacks rose the water in the pool and sent it flying at each other. Both Pokemon looked around and were already drenched.

"Confuse Ray," Ash ordered, as a yellow ball of light hit Starmie. Starmie began to bang itself against the pool side, obviously confused. Then, a Water Pulse later, Starmie was unconscious.

"Fine, you win," Misty said. She handed him the badge, when she noticed a giant plant Pokemon behind him. It had eggs for heads and a palm tree-like appearance. She then realized how powerful this boy was, and how he could have beaten her with his other Pokemon, an Exeggutor. Ash petted his water type which knew Psychic moves. Golduck closed his eyes in bliss.

"Let's go gang," Ash said. Volt, Chrysalis, Aquarius, Kinesis, and Palm, the newest member of his team, followed him out.

TIME SKIP

Ash had just lost to Lieutenant Surge. He had chosen his Pokemon poorly and his Aquarius and Volt were obliterated by the man's Raichu and Electrode. Though, it was a close call, given that Aquarius nearly beat Raichu with that last Psychic. However, the loss was a loss.

Instead of wallowing in self-pity, Ash decided to take the time to train. He paired Volt with Aquarius to build resistance to electricity and Palm with Chrysalis to build resistance to bug attacks. For three weeks, he had them attacking each other for this and was physically training himself, so he would not look like a 'baby' as Surge put it.

"All right, guys, let's roll."

He walked into Surge's gym and disabled the traps the paranoid man set up. After walking to Surge, he calmly set Volt on the field and stood back. Volt growled at Raichu and Electrode, remembering how he was humiliated the last time.

"So, baby, back for more?" Surge asked. Ash merely shrugged, not letting the insult get to his head. Electrode was sent out.

"Dig, Volt," Ash ordered. Surge smirked and waited for the right moment.

"Explosion!" Surge ordered, and his Electrode glowed white, charging up the move. Ash smirked as well, noticing that, instead of going for the straight attack, Volt had actually dug a tunnel away from the source of the explosion and hid behind some of the rubble left from the last fight. Then, the Electrode exploded itself in a puff of smoke. It lay unconscious and Volt looked relatively unharmed, batting debris away with his tail.

"Y-you hid behind the rubble," Surge stuttered, as Ash grinned. He had Volt come back and sent out… Palm. Immediately, Raichu let loose a giant Thunderbolt, but Palm psychically lifted it and sent it back into the ground. Then, Raichu let loose a Body Slam, but Palm stopped the Pokemon with a barrage of eggs thrown at it. The Raichu fell back, unconscious.

"Looks like you were not a baby after all," Surge said, handing him the badge. Ash gained the badge and walked away.

TIME SKIP

Erika's gym was a lot easier than Surge. Having half poison types, they were weakened by the psychic team Ash had raised from his first day. Chrysalis and Ven took down the gym, with Ven evolving into a Venomoth. Aquarius was sent back to the professor as he was not a full psychic type and only knew psychic attacks. Chrysalis was sent back as well, along with Ven.

Sabrina and Koga were beaten easily as well, especially Koga. Ash had taken to teaching his team a diversity of moves, causing the gyms to get destroyed. With bug attacks and Shadow Ball, Sabrina's Kadabra was obliterated. For Koga, Ash did not even have to try.

"Pika Chu Pika," Volt said, as he saw a giant letter attached to a Dragonite. Ash had just battled some kid and beat him, even though the kid had a rather diversified team. The kid, however, did not have a type advantage.

"Great job, guys," Ash said, accepting the letter.

"Greetings to you, young trainer. You are accepted to battle the strongest trainer in the world, settled on New Island. Please go to Vermillion City or Cinnabar Island to accept a ship to the island. We wish you the best of luck," the holographic figure of Nurse Joy said. Ash wondered how the kidnapped Nurse Joy and the strongest trainer were related. Maybe he or she kidnapped her…

Accepting the challenge, Ash immediately submitted his response. The letter was sent back with the Dragonite and sent to its owner.

That night, a giant storm hit Vermillion through Cinnabar Island. Ash withdrew Aquarius to go through the storm, realizing that the boat would not be coming. Volt rode on his shoulder and he, with four other trainers, rode out to New Island on their Pokemon.

"Greeting, trainers. My master will be here shortly," a voice said, as the four children turned to see Nurse Joy. She then collapsed and her hat came off, as this bipedal purple and white Pokemon came before them. It looked like a larger version of Mew and hovered down to the platform.

"I am Mewtwo. I was created by the labs to become the strongest Pokemon," it said, in a masculine voice. Ash looked at it and the slightly fatter kid with the Jolteon tried to have his Gyarados Hyper Beam Mewtwo. The Hyper Beam was reflected by a Psychic and sent to the Gyarados, instantly fainting it.

"So you are a psychic type," Ash mused, "I want to capture you, given that a Pokemon needs to not be a trainer and act as a human." He threw a Poke-ball, which got deflected.

"How did you know what I was?" Mewtwo asked.

"I figured from your attack. I am studying to be a Psychic master and I am going to capture you."

"Smart child," Mewtwo muttered. "Well, let's see if you can all prove yourselves." He sent out three Pokemon, a Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur. Each, due to their genetic deformities, had an odd series of darker markings on them. Ash gritted his teeth as he noticed that he would not battle them, since the other three trainers had the same Pokemon as Mewtwo.

In a matter of minutes, the clones proved to be stronger than the real Pokemon. "As the winner, I will claim your Pokemon," Mewtwo said, sending out these black balls. The four tried to bat them off, but to their surprise, their Pokemon were getting captured. Only Volt was the one left. He ran up the stairs, shocking the balls, as Ash tried to protect him. The balls fell, but new ones came to the air, chasing the poor Pikachu. Finally, shock after shock, Volt passed out and got captured.

"No! Volt!" Ash yelled, as he tried to grab the ball. He made a grab at it and got sucked inside where the cloning machines were. Different clones had awoken, until it was him who went to the machine with Volt. Volt was cloned as well, but since the machine was meant for Pokemon, it broke down with Ash's presence. Ash immediately released Volt, Kinesis, Aquarius, and Palm, but the clone Pokemon that had awoken surrounded the poor human and his four Pokemon.

"Oweeeee!" a familiar voice echoed, as a powerful Shadow Ball hit the Pikachu clone. A familiar face, the silver Eevee from before that Ash had saved, came into view.

"Eevee, you were following me this whole time…" Ash said, realizing how persistent this Eevee was to join his team. The Eevee nodded and summersaulted in front of Ash and his weakened team. A bright light shone around her and she turned longer and bigger. Her tail forked into two and a bright jewel was on her forehead. Her body became a light hue of green.

"ESPEON!" she screamed, releasing a powerful Psychic that took down a clone.

"Whoa, what is that?" Ash asked, trying to scan it with his Pokedex. No information was available, but the Pokemon was obviously a Psychic type. Ash then realized that the little Eevee proved her worth and could join his team.

The remaining clones went to tell Mewtwo about what had occurred. Ash broke the ceiling using Ava, his new Espeon's Psychic energy. Then, they went to challenge Mewtwo. Ava fired a Shadow Ball at him and Mewtwo was astounded by the fact that this was a Pokemon he had never seen before. But, Mewtwo fired a mega powerful HyperBeam, forcing Ava to go back to her ball.

"So, you got a Pokemon that I have never seen before… But that still won't help you defeat me," Mewtwo said.

"I have another ace up my sleeve… Go, Enigma," Ash yelled, hoping that his third Pokemon would show itself. And that it did. A pink cat floated out of the ball, making everyone stop fighting and gasp at the sight. The cat giggled and floated to Ash, perching on his head. Even Ash was shocked, as the feline said, in a very feminine voice, "Mew."

A/N: Yes, Ash will have legendary Pokemon. BUT, Ash will not be overpowered. Enigma is still a baby, meaning that she does not know too many moves. Also, I am not sure if the time line is correct, but I do know that Ash should have at least beaten Sabrina before movie one.
