Chapter 5
Ash and his friends are about to set off through the Viridian Forest to get to Brock's home place; Pewter City. However, something came up at the Viridian Gym.
"You want to go with them on their journey?" Charlotte asked in a bit surprise and shock at what her sister just asked.
Ash and others are nearby.
Jess nodded, "Battling with Ash has made me realize that there's more about the bond between Trainers and Pokemon than we believe. If I go with them, I can lean and be the best S Class Connoisseusse like you, big sis."
Charlotte stare at her only sister before she smile, "If that's what you want to do, then be my guest, little Sis."
Jess smile and hug her sister. As she hugs Jess, Charlotte stare at Brock.
"Watch over her." Charlotte mouthed.
Brock nodded.
And with Jess joining the group, they made their way towards the Viridian Forest. As they enter the forest, they look around.
"OK, Meloetta. It's all clear." Ash said.
And with that, Meloetta sudden appear, sitting on Ash's shoulder.
"I can see why Pikachu like riding on your shoulder, Ash. It's so comfy." Meloetta said.
"Pika." Pikachu said, nodded.
"Aw, come on, you two. You don't mean that." Ash said while rubbing on the back of his head.
A while later, they reach the open field and decide to take a break.
"Come on out, gang!" Ash said as he throw all his Pokeballs.
Ash's Pokeballs open and all of his Pokemon are let out.
Suddenly, Fearow glides towards Ash who manage to duck for cover.
"Fearow, Return!" Ash said.
The red beam from the Pokeball, hit Fearow and Fearow return back to its Pokeball.
"I forgot about that Fearow." Ash muttered.
"Break time!" Serena said as she throw her Pokeballs.
Serena's Pokeballs open and her Kalos Pokemon are let out.
"Time to come out!" Brock said as he throw two Pokeballs.
The Pokeballs open and Croagunk and Chansey.
"Stand by!" Jess said as she throw her Pokeballs.
Jess' Pokeballs open and Girafarig and Sableye are let out.
"Party time!" Max said as he throw his Pokeballs.
Max's Pokeball open and Max's Ralts and Spearow are let out.
"Join in the fun, Victreebel!" Bonnie said as she throw her Pokeball.
The Pokeball opens and Victreebel is lets out...
MUNCH!
And with an eye-smile, chomp on Bonnie's body, leaving her legs out. Bonnie is kicking while muffling.
Then, they prepare some lunch. Jess handle human food while Brock takes care of the Pokefood and others setting up the table.
"OK, Lunch time!" Brock said as with help of other but Jess, carry lots of bowls.
The Pokemon cheer and got their bowl and Ash's Snorlax also get Snorlax Pokeblock. And with that, Trainers and Pokemon enjoying their lunch.
Buneary finish her lunch, run to Pikachu who's also, finish his lunch. Pikachu see Buneary and run away from her. They run around and through the feeding Pokemon. Suddenly, Buneary accidentally knock Ash's Ralts food bowl, much to her horrified.
Suddenly, a vine grab Buneary and turn her to face stem Bulbasaur.
"Bulba bulba bulbasaur saur. Saur bulba bulbasaur. Saur saur Bulba."
"What's Bulbasaur saying?" Bonnie asked to Meloetta who sit on Ash's head after finished her lunch.
"Bulbasaur is telling Buneary off for running after Pikachu while others are still eating, for Buneary accidentally knock Ash's Ralts food bowl." Meloetta said.
They turn to Ash's Ralts who almost had tears of her lost food when Krookodile pick up Ash's Ralts and sat her next to itself and move its food bowl towards her. Ash's Ralts smile and began to feed with Krookodile.
"That nice of Krookodile to share his food." Serena said with others nodded.
(Meanwhile)
Team Rockets and their Pokemon are having their lunch as well.
"This is so good." James said.
"Well, after all our hard work, it should be." Jessie said.
"What do you mean 'our'? You didn't left a single glove." Meowth said.
"So. A beautiful lady such as myself, don't do dirty works." Jessie said.
Suddenly a pack of Rattata charge through, knocking Team Rocket and their Pokemon up into the air.
"But we were just having lunch!" Jessie said.
"We never catch a break even if we want too!" James said while been bitten by his Mawile.
"WE"RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" All three of them said before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle.
(Meanwhile)
Axew watches as other Pokemon train hard.
"OK, Ralts, use Shadow Claws!" Ash said.
Ash's Ralts cover her arms with purplish black arms with sharp claws and charge.
"Use Teleport!" Max said.
Max's Ralts glow and disappear before Ash's Ralts slash him. A few feet away from behind Ash's Ralts, Max's Ralts reappear.
"Now use Magical Leaf!" Max said.
Max's Ralts releases multiple light green glowing leaves at Ash's Ralts.
"Use Shadow Claws!" Ash said.
Ash's Ralts cover her arms with purplish black arms with sharp claws and slashing all the glowing leaves.
"That's pretty good Ash. Teleport!" Max said.
Max's Ralts glow and disappear.
"Follow him, Ralts!" Ash said.
Ash's Ralts glow and disappear as well. A few seconds later, Max's Ralts appear but after that, Ash's Ralts with her Shadow Claws ready and then give him uppercut towards Max.
"And that it!" Brock declared.
Axew watches.
"Both Ralts are doing great." Brock said with a smile.
"And Max, well done about learning the real battle. Your parents will be proud of you." Ash said.
"Yeah well... I just learn by the best trainer of all." Max said with a smile towards his hero.
Ash's Ralts and Max's Ralts shake their hands.
Axew watches with wonder...
(Axew's flashback)
Iris and Axew inside Iris's big hair, are walking through the forest when Axew saw Deerling in Spring form. Axew climb out and got ready to battle when Iris pick him up.
"No, no, no, Axew. That Deerling is far too strong for you." Iris said as she walks away.
Axew was not too happy for not having a battle or training.
(End of Flashback.)
"Hey, Axew!" Ash's voice snap Axew out of thought.
Ash knee before Axew, "How about a training for you."
Axew smile. Then Serena's Pancham stand by, ready to battle.
"Looks like Pancham is ready to help." Serena said.
"Hear that, Axew? Let's giving all we got." Ash said to Axew.
"Ok, Pancham. Use Stone Edge!" Serena said.
Pancham slams his hand on the ground, causing glowing light blue pillars of rock to appear and rush towards Axew.
"Axew, try to use the rocks to get near Pancham!" Ash said.
Just as the last pillar appear, Axew jump on it and hop from rock to rock.
"Now, use Scratch!" Ash said.
Axew raises he claws in the air and one of them flashes white. Then Axew slash Pancham.
"Use Arm Thrust!" Serena said.
Pancham's hands glows white and he strikes Axew with them.
The other Pokemon stop what they doing and watch Axew and Pancham sparring. It's Scratch here and Arm Thrust there.
"Pancham, use Dark Pulse!" Serena said.
"Axew, counter it with Dragon Rage!" Ash said.
Pancham creates a ball of black and purple circles in each hand. He then combines them and fires the circles as a beam of circles at Axew.
Axew creates a light blue orb of energy inside of his stomach. He then fires a powerful blast of blue and black energy in the shape of a dragon at Pancham.
The attacks collided each other, causing an explosion. The explosion send Axew and Pancham flying towards their trainers.
"And that it!" Brock declared.
Ash knee down next to Axew, "Well done, Axew. You've gotten strong."
Axew smile, "Axew!"
Then Ash turn to Pancham, "And Pancham, thanks for helping."
"Pan Pancham." Pancham said.
(Night time)
Ash, his friends and Pokemon are sleeping. But Axew couldn't sleep. He couldn't stop thinking about the past.
Iris was suppose to be his trainer but all she ever do is babying him, not that he minding a bit.
But after meeting Ash and see his Pokemon getting stronger, even his best friend; Scraggy while he still remain what he is.
And after the battle at Viridian Gym, even though Ash is happy for him, Axew still feel bad for letting Ash down.
Axew carefully got up and walk off. But Meloetta who's sleeping on the tree branch, hears Axew moving and woke up to see him leaving.
A few moments later, Axew is sitting on a stone when Meloetta join in, "Want to talk about it?"
A long talking later.
"I understand. Iris sure doesn't act like a trainer like she suppose to be." Meloetta said.
Axew sadly nodded.
"But cheer up, Axew. You're with Ash now. He'll train you well like he does with all his Pokemon." Meloetta said with a smile.
Axew smile at his friend.
(Next day)
The Heroes have just finishing their breakfast.
"Hey Axew, how about you help me get some water?" Ash asked as he carry few big empty bottles.
Axew nodded with a smile before he took one of the bottles and both he and his ture trainer run off to nearby river.
(Meanwhile)
"I just love my Smoochum!" Jessie said as Smoochum try to get free from Jessie's hug.
Team Rocket are in their balloon.
"That last 'blast off' land us near Smoochum." James said.
"Yeah, but last time Jessie took Smoochum, her Jynx sisters were not very happy." Meowth said.
"WHAT WAS THAT, MEOWTH?!" Jessie asked in anger.
Before Jessie could skin Meowth alive, James sudden yell, "Look there!"
Jessie and Meowth look at James saw.
"It's the twerps!" Jessie said.
"And look at all the Pokemon we can steal!" Meowth said with his eyes wide with wonder.
With that, Meowth pick up an control box and push the button. From under the balloon basket, a giant glass ball appear and open up with a cannon inside. The cannon fires a large net and capture all the Pokemon before pull them inside the glass ball before shut tight.
"Hey!" Bonnie said.
"Not you guys again!" Max said.
"Prepare for trouble, yes, it's us." Jessie said.
"And make it double, there be plenty more of us." James said.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
Meowth join in, "Meowth! That's right!"
Then Wobbuffet, join in as well, "Wobbuffet!"
"Well, here we go again with those three." Meloetta said before add, "Oshawott, could you get your butt out of my face, please?"
"Give us back our Pokemon!" Jess yelled.
Team Rocket respond by stick their tongue.
"Quick, return!" Serena said as she aim her Pokeballs.
But the red beam from the balls, are block by glass.
Team Rocket laugh as Meowth says, "Nice try, twerps."
"Victreebel, use Leaf Storm!" Bonnie said.
Victreebel waves one of its arms and a barrage of glowing green leaves appear and fires at the glass. Not a single scratch.
"Oh no!" Bonnie said.
"Our ball is twerp proof and Pokemon proof." James said.
"Time to go!" Meowth said.
"Jynx!" A voice said.
Every turn to see a group of Jynx running towards Team Rocket's balloon.
"Those Jynx wants their Smoochum back!" Meowth said.
"No way! Not this time! Smoochum is mine! MINE, MINE, MINE!" Jessie said as she tightly her grip on Smoochum.
The Jynx group were not happy as their eyes glow and suddenly the balloon halt.
"Hey, we're not moving!" Meowth said.
"The Jynx group are using Psychic attack!" Max said.
Then the Jynx group send the balloon towards the nearby trees. Serena, Jess, Brock and kids run after them with Jynx group in the lead.
With Team Rocket after crash landing, climb out of damaged basket when Jynx group arrive.
"Jessie, just give back thier Smoochum!" Meowth said in fear.
"NO! NEVER!" Jessie said.
The Jynx group charge at Team Rocket. Quick thinking, Meowth open the glass ball and all Team Rocket jump in before close it, leaving angry Jynx group out.
But then, they're trap with the Pokemon they captured!
"Hi there." James said.
"Small world, right?" Jessie asked.
"Don't forget, I'm a Pokemon you know." Meowth said.
Jynx group use their Psychic to lift the glass ball and ram it on trees and boulders to get it open.
Ash and Axew arrive at the scene, "What the...?"
Axew stare at Jynx group in fear as the group keeps ramming the glass ball.
"Those Jynx really want that Smoochum back." Max said.
"But our Pokemon will get hurt in cross fire if these Jynx won't stop." Serena said.
"Right. Axew, go!" Ash said before notices that Axew stands behind Ash, shivering in fear, "Oh, that's right! You and Iris both scared of the Ice Type Pokemon like Jynx."
Axew move closer to Ash.
"Axew, I understand about this. But right now, they're in trouble and you're the only one who can save them." Ash said.
Axew stare at Ash.
"I know you can, Axew, 'Cause I believe in you." Ash said with a smile.
Axew stare at Ash with wonder eyes before he went in front and in fighting stand.
"Alright, Axew! Now, use Dragon Rage!" Ash said.
Axew creates a light blue orb of energy inside of his stomach. He then fires a powerful blast of blue and black energy in the shape of a dragon at Jynx group.
The Jynx group jump out of the way, causing them to drop the glass ball, before went attack by fires an icy wind filled with small snowballs from its mouth at Axew.
"That's Blizzard!" Max said.
"Quick, dodge it!" Ash said.
Axew jump away just as the blizzard blow by. One of the Jynx stand forward and a light blue ball forms in Jynx's mouth and it fires light blue beams from the ball at Axew.
"Watch out for that Ice Beam!" Ash said.
Axew jump high to dodge and the beam hit the ground before rise high, making a ice mountain. Axew land carefully on the top of the ice mountain.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket open the glass ball and sneak away when a vine took Smoochum from Jessie. It was Bulbasaur who hand it to Ash.
"Great job, Bulbasaur." Ash said before turn to the Jynx group, "Here's your Smoochum. Sorry for attacking you, but all our Pokemon are inside that glass."
Jynx nodded in understand before one of them took Smoochum and went off.
Ash and his friends smile at the Jynx group before they turn to glare at Team Rocket.
"You just never learn." Ash said.
"Well... We just learn that we're in so much hurt." James said.
"Got that right." Brock said.
"Braixen, Fire Blast!" Serena said.
"Victreebel, use Leaf Storm!" Bonnie said.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt! Axew, Dragon Rage!" Ash said.
Braixen releases a font face="Nimbus Mono L, monospace"span lang="zh-CN"大/span/font-shaped blast from her stick.
Victreebel waves one of its arms and a barrage of glowing green leaves appear.
Yellow sparks appear around Pikachu's cheeks before releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from his body.
Axew creates a light blue orb of energy inside of his stomach. He then fires a powerful blast of blue and black energy in the shape of a dragon.
The attacks combine and hit Team Rocket and then, the ground under Team Rocket explore, sending them flying.
"Aw! I for once, just want a cute pokemon to keep!" Jessie said.
"Get a toy instead!" Meowth said.
"WE"RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN, AGAIN!" All three of them said before disappearing into the distance with a twinkle.
Our heroes and their Pokemon cheers. Then Ash pick up Axew.
"You were great, Axew. You've overcome your fear of Ice Types and save the day. You're going to be one of the strongest dragon type Pokemon for sure." Ash said.
"Axew!" Axew said with a smile.
(A while later)
Ash and his friends are ready to set off once more.
"Ok, guys! Let's go to Brock's home!" Ash said.
"And see some Pokemon along the way."Max said.
And with that, they went off.
(And done! Now that their new friend; Jess join them, what adventure will be await them? We just have to wait and see. Till then, See you Pokemon lovers really soon!
Now then, what Kanto Pokemon will be next for Ash and others?
