Hey guys, what's up. ThePeacefulLucario here, (I changed my name) and I've decided to go with G-Matt's advice. (Thanks a lot, it makes sense for squirtle and I too love Bayleef) The Pokémon team's going to be Pikachu, Pidgeot, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Bayleef, and Squirtle. It was a really tough decision, since I love Totodile, Noctowl, and Quilava, but regardless, it's the right decision since he's gonna stay in Kanto. I'm FINALLY done with finals so now I might be able to write a long, decent Chapter. I'm out, PEACE.

Chapter 5

Ash looked down at his Bayleef. "Bayleef, you can stop following me around, you know. Don't you want to play with anyone?" Bayleef shook her head and gently tackled Ash. Bey, bey!

Ash smiled at his old friend, and kept walking. He smiled when he saw his 30 Tauros, and went over and greeted them. They were all happy to see him, but they soon went back to their running.

Ash kept walking around for about an hour, until he had seen and talked to almost all of his Pokémon. After saying goodbye to Sceptile (who coolly turned away), Ash looked a little confused. Bayleef, who had stuck with him all this time, looked curiously at Ash and nudged his leg.

Ash looked around expectantly. "Hey Bayleef, I've seen almost all of my Pokémon, but where's Bulbasaur?"

Bayleef nudged him to look in another direction. There, in between two trees, were two feuding Bellossom. Ash started walking toward them, they appeared to be fighting over an apple. However, he was soon stopped as a mysterious Pokémon used a vine whip to cut the apple in half. Ash smiled, he already knew which Pokémon it would be.

Bulba-Saur! the Pokémon cried as he ran to greet his old master and friend. "Ash enthusiastically hugged his old friend. "Hey Bulbasaur! How are you doing?" Bulbasaur looked at his master and contentedly said Bulba!, signaling that he was all right.

Ash laughed, and started to play with Bulbasaur. Bayleef looked on happily, occasionally coming to gently head-butt either Ash or Bulbasaur. Just as Ash was about to say goodbye to Bulbasaur, he heard someone approaching, and stood up and turned around. His eyes widened as he recognized the person, then he broke out into a smile. "Gary?"

Gary replied, "Hey, its Ash! How you doing, buddy?" Ash replied "I'm doing fine, how about you?" Ash fondly remembered how at the start of his journey, Gary would have probably called Ash a loser and walked away. His Arcanine affectionately walked up to Ash and licked him, while Ash laughed and petted him.

"So, Ash, why are you back here? Is it cause of Misty?" Gary teased gently. Ash sweat-dropped and started shouting at Gary, "NO, ITS NOT ABOUT MISTY, I'M HERE TO COMPETE IN THE INDIGO LEAGUE AG-"

Gary stopped Ash with a laugh, "I was just joking, Ash. So, are you at Professor Oak's lab to get some of your Pokémon back for Kanto?"

Ash, still a little uncertain, nodded. "Yeah, I'm just not sure which Pokémon I should take…" Immediately after he said this both his Bayleef and his Bulbasaur angrily head-butted him. "Whoa, what's up with you guys?" Ash exclaimed, still pinned down by them both. Bayleef angrily responded Bey! Bey!, motioning at Gary.

Gary looked at Ash's two Pokémon and came to a conclusion. "Ash, I think your Bayleef and Bulbasaur want to come with you!" Ash looked at his two friends. "Is that true, you guys?" Bayleef and Bulbasaur both nodded vigorously. "Well, okay, if you guys want, you can come with me!" Bayleef and Bulbasaur started happily jumping around. Ash looked at Gary. "Hey, Gary, thanks for the advice, but I really have to be getting home. My mom's probably worrying about me." Gary nodded.

Ash looked at his Bayleef and Bulbasaur. "Hey guys, I'll race you home!" Immediately, Bayleef and Bulbasaur started running. Ash, left in the dust, cried "Awk! Hey guys, can't you slow down a little?" as he laughed and ran down with them.

Author's Note

Oh god, Oh god I'm so sorry. This chapter was so bad, it barely had any detail at all and its like 500 words. I'm really sorry guys, I should have done better. However, I guarantee the next chapter's going to be good, and as a result I cut this part off so I wouldn't mix the bad with the good. This chapter was purely to establish that Bayleef and Bulbasaur would accompany Ash. It'll get better soon, I promise.
