So I just want to clarify sometimes before I start. First of all their will now be 2 chapters per month because school is now over. Second of all this will probably be a trilogy from 4 to 6th gen. Third off this will loosely follow the anime so please dont get angry If it's not as close as you like. Lastley I just want to say that fir some reason I don't post two chapters per month, dont panic I'll probably still be here I just need t do something. Oh I almost forgot chapters will be getting longer and I really need you guys to review so if you can do that it would be much appreciated. Anyway on with the story.

CHAPTER 4:

A couple of days have gone by since we last saw our heroes. They are going toward jubilife city but they take a pit stop at the pokemon center.

"Oh Nurse every time I look at you I see our future, 5 kids, a mansion, and a king-sized bed," Brock said. "Oh, will you stop it, you creep," Dawn said while pulling his ear.

After they got their supplies, they ventured forward until a small blue frog came up to them.

"What's that?" Dawn said as she pulled out her Pokedex. No one answered until the Pokedex identified the pokemon as Croagunk. "Wow, that seems like a really cool pokemon," Brock said. "I should catch it." "Go for it!" Ash said energetically. "Yeah, Brock this would be a cool pokemon to introduce you to Sinnoh," Dawn added.

But before anyway could say or do anything the Pokemon was snatched by the one and only Team Rocket. After they said their monologue the band of heroes leaped into action. Brock sent out Bonsly, Ash Starly, and Dawn Piplup.

Out of the three Brock moved the quickest and had his Bonsly use rock slide on the hot air balloon but Rocket had a trick of their own and had the balloon move further in the air so they would dodge the attack. Luckily that moved them closer to the clouds so one quick thunderbolt broke Rocket's balloon and sent the trio blasting off again.

However, the job wasn't done yet because Croagunk was falling down from the sky. As he was edging toward the ground Brock started to run after him and just before the pokemon hit the ground Brock dived and saved him.

"So Croagunk do you want to join my team?" Brock asked. "Croak-Croak" (of course) said Croagunk. "Yes!" Brock said as he caught his new friend in his Pokeball.

A FEW HOURS LATER

"Oh come on guys, hurry up, we're nearly there!" Ash said. "Come down Ash, the city is still going to be there by tomorrow," Brock said. "No he is right we have to hurry, I can finally compete in a contest," Dawn said. "Well, I'm sorry guys we aren't going to reach there until tomorrow" Brock responded.

"Well, fuck" Ash said. "Alright let's set up camp now." After they set up camp, Ash said he was going to go on a walk but before he could Dawn asked if she could go with him. Ash of course agreed and Brock was left at camp making dinner for them.

"Hey Ash" Dawn started, "can I ask you two things?" "Yeah, sure," Ash responded. "First off after that talk yesterday, did you feel anything?" Dawn asked. "Yeah but that was because I was hungry," Ash said. It took Dawn a couple of seconds to recuperate herself before she finally said "Okay," in a disappointed tone. "And my other question is, can you help me catch a Pokemon?" Dawn finished in a low voice and shy tone. "What do you need help with?" Ash questioned. "Catching a Pokemon," Dawn said a little angrily. "Calm down and then you have a deal," Ash said. "Really no making fun of me for needing help?" Dawn said quizzingly. "Yeah, because you are a good trainer but every good trainer needs help sometimes," Ash responded. "Okay, great, and thanks," Dawn said. "No prob, so let's find some Pokemon," Ash added.

After half an hour of looking through the woods, they finally found a small bunny Pokemon. "OMFG THAT POKEMON LOOKS SO ADORABLE!" Dawn screamed. "Calm down Dawn or you are going to scare it away with your screeching." Ash joked. This earned him a small shove but Dawn wasn't too bothered because she was too focused on the Pokemon. "Hey, little guy you want to join my team?" Dawn asked. But the pokemon looked worried like it was being chased or terrorized. "Bu-bu-Buneary (help help HELP)!" Buneary said as it ran away. "See Dawn I told you that you scared it." Ash joked. But Dawn wasn't listening; she was only focused on the huge Seviper that was chasing Buneary.

"Starly go" Ash commanded. "No Ash, I'm trying to catch Buneary so I must catch him." Dawn said courageously, "Go Piplup" Dawn added. "Use water gun," Dawn shouted. Servipor screamed in agony, surprised by how strong the Piplup was. Servipor quickly came back with wrap which started to strangle the poor Piplup. "Piplup use bide," Dawn said commandingly. Piplup started turning red and stored power that when he released it, it sent Servipor flying.

"We did it!" Dawn said to her Piplup. "Fantastic job guys," Ash added. "Bu-Bu-Bunear-Buneary (You saved me thank you so much)" Buneary exclaimed with a hug. "So you want to join my team?" Dawn asked and hoped."BUNEARY (YES)!" Buneary yelled. "Well let's head back Dawn because I think dinner is ready," Ash said. "Yeah," Dawn said.

When they made it back Brock greeted them and Dawn's new pokemon and they ate and went to sleep.

_. the next day_

After they got up they made the short walk to Jubilife city, a man greeted them at the entrance saying that they were 5000 people to come to Jubilife today and because of that he gave them all Poketechs. Even though they were given the height of technology Dawn wasn't interested, all she was focused on was a huge stadium for the Pokemon contest.

So as soon as she could she sprinted over to the stadium but before she could she bumped into a red-haired girl around the same age as Dawn. "Oww, who did that?" The girl said. "Omg I'm so sorry, I'm just really excited about the contest. My name is Dawn by the way." Dawn responded. "Well hello, Dawn I'm Zoey, and wait did you say you are signing up for the contest?" Zoey asked. "Well yeah, I want to be the top coordinator one day," Dawn said. "Same here," Zoey said. "Well, I guess I'll see you at the contest," Dawn said.

"Dawn waits up," Ash said. "Well, who is this?" Brock asked. "Your girlfriend," Ash said jokingly. Brock couldn't help but snicker, this earned both of them a kick. "I'm Zoey," the red-head said. "Hi I'm Ash and this is Brock," Ash said. "Oh cool, do you also participate in contests?" Zoey questioned. "No, I'm a pokemon breeder and Ash is a trainer," Brock answered. "Well that's cool," Zoey said, trying to think of something to break the silence but she couldn't so they just stood there until it was they're turn to register for the contest.

"Well see you tomorrow Zoey, you'd better bring your a-game," Dawn said cheerfully. Zoey responded with a quick "Back at you." As she walked back to her house. "Well, she seemed like a nice person, anyway I'm going to start to train." Ash said, "Same here." Dawn added. And that's what they did for hours until the darkness filled the night.

When they woke up in the morning Dawn was raring to go. Immediately she got ready, unlike her companions who were a bit sluggish but after a little push from Dawn, they were ready to go. Dawn quickly ate her breakfast and sprinted down to the contest area. But what came as a shock to her was that she had seen none other than Team Rocket's very own Jessie. "What are you doing here Jessie? Trying to steal other people's pokemon because if you ruin this day for me I'll make you like a living hell." Dawn threatened. "Easy twerpete I'm just trying to be a top coordinator. Can't a girl dream." Jessie said. "Well I guess, but DO NOT RUIN THIS FOR ME," Dawn said as she walked away.

Dawn and Jessie did meet in the contest but it was almost like there was no contest because Jessie was blown out of the water by Dawn's superior strategy. However, it all came down to the last battle Zoey vs Dawn. Whoever one this one the contest and their first ribbon. Although Dawn started off strongly, Zoey's Glameow was too much and it easily beat Dawn's Buneary.

After seeing Zoey win her first medal, Dawn became upset because she knew that should have been her but instead it was someone else's. So she did what she thought was right and that was calling her mom. "Mom, I have to tell you something," Dawn uttered a tear in her eye. "What is it, hun?" Johanna asked. "I lost my first contest!" Dawn cried while breaking down. "Dawn, this is something you and your friends should figure out. You need to form closer bonds with them. If you are going to travel with friends you should at least let them have your back." Johanna said in a calming manner. "I guess you are right," Dawn said, still tearing. "See ya hun and trust me you can bounce back from this. You are a Berlitz." Johanna said before hanging up.

A couple of seconds later as If it was on cue Ash and Brock came running through the door looking for Dawn. "There you are," Ash started. "We have looked all over for you. By the way, Zoey said she got lucky versus you and you should've won the entire thing." "You don't have to lie to me just to make me feel better," Dawn said angrily. "We aren't that word for word what she said," Brock said. "Also you came second place it wasn't like you came third or fourth." "Well I guess you are right, there's always next time," Dawn said determinedly.

Our heroes took a quick rest and went on their way to Ash's first battle in Oreburgh city.

They walked for hours and hours until they finally came to a Nuzleaf they found in the middle of the road. "Nuz-Nuz? (Can you help me)" The Nuzleaf whispered. "Of course what's wrong," Brock said (Brock can understand some simple Pokemon language). "Nuz-Nuzlea-Nuz-Nuzleaf. ( I need to find my older brother)" Nuzleaf said. "Well, we could help you with that." "What did he say, Brock" Dawn asked. "He needs help to find his older brother."

They looked and looked for an hour or two until they saw a Shiftry in a tree. "Hey guys I found him but he doesn't look happy to see us," Ash said. "It has been poisoned and it doesn't recognize us because it is being hurt. The only way to save it before it dies is by beating it in battle."

"Bonsly go," Brock shouted. "Use headbutt" Shrifty screams in pain but he was fine and he countered with foul play. "Bonsly use mimic" Shrifty again looks hurt he seems like he could only take another hit. "Bonsly finish this with headbutt" Shrifty fainted and Bonsly started to glow with energy. "He's evolving into Sudowoodo." After a quick moment where that small sprout stood, it turned into a fully grown tree. You did it, you finally evolved and you helped this poor Nuzleaf.

"Nuz-Nuzleaf (THANK YOU SO MUCH)" Nuzleaf exclaimed. "No prob, you guys stay safe now. Alright, guys I dunno but I'm really tired." Brock said. "Ditto." Dawn said, "Where" Ash added jokingly. "But your right we'll rest right here."

They start to set up camp and quickly go to sleep with Ash dreaming about his gym battle tomorrow.

After a short rest they made their way to Oreburgh city and the first thing they did was to go to the gym.

"Hey I'm here to face the gym leader." Ash said to a red-haired man. "Oh hi I'm Roark, the gym leader of this place, are you ready to battle?" "YES" Ash yelled enthusiastically. "Alright then let's start."

"Geodude come out" Roark commanded. "Turtwig I choose you" Ash said. "Use vine whip" The vine whip hits and almost faints the geodude but it has the ability sturdy so it stays alive. "Use stealth rocks," Roark yelled. "Turtwig finished this off with tackle." The tackle faints the Geodude. "ALRIGHT" Dawn said cheerfully. This caused Ash to blush a little bit but he was distracted by Roark's onix. "Turtwig vine whip." The vine whip hit but Onix seemed to be okay and it retaliated with a strong take down. "Turtwig try another vine whip" "Dodge it Onix and use another take down" Onix hit his attack and fainted the Turtwig. "Don't worry Turtwig you did great. Pikachu go and use thunder wave." Ash said. "Onix use take down." But Onix couldn't move because of his paralysis and Onix ended up getting fainted by a couple of tackles. "Well I have to applaud you Ash for getting this far but your time is up. Go Cranidos. Now this thing maybe as old as a fossil but trust me he doesn't move like one. Use zen headbutt." The zen headbutt hits and almost faints pikachu but it survives long enough to use a thunder wave. "Okay starly it's all up to you" "Come on Ash you can do it" Dawn says enthusiastically. This motivates Ash a lot and he immediately starts attacking the Cranidos with gust and wing attack. However the Cranidos still packs a punch even though it is paralyzed so when it hits a headbutt Starly almost faints. But out of nowhere she started to turn white. "No way Starly is evolving into Staravia." This motivates both Ash and his pokemon that with one wing attack Cranidos faints.

"Well congrats Ash you beat me and won your first gym badge." Roark says happily. "Thank you" Ash says as he takes the gym badge and as he starts to strike a pose. "Well done Ash." Brock says. "Yeah really good job that was awesome to watch." Dawn adds. "Thanks guys" Ash says as he starts to walk out of the gym. "So where to next?"
