Celebi as a starter

Chapter 3: the hungry buggie with an egg

Ash now walked to Viridian city. Pichu was perched on the top of his head while Celebi was laying lazily on his backpack. Zorua had returned to her pokeball, wanting to rest for a while.

Around noon, His stomach growled, making Ash blush as Celebi laughed. [Ashy, it sounds like your stomach is telling us to have a lunch break.] She mentally broadcasted. Ash laughed and nodded, rubbing the back of his head.

"Yep. Help me set up you two." He said and the two Pokemon nodded. They quickly set up a small area for lunch and Ash had let out Zorua. Now the three Pokemon were sitting around their trainer, each eating their own bowls of Pokemon food while Ash ate a sandwich his mother made for him.

Rustling noises came from the bushes and a small caterpie came out of it. It sniffed the air before going over to Ash's bag and sniffing it. [Yummy, I want some.] It said to itself, not expecting Ash to hear him.

Ash smiled and took out a bowl and some Pokemon food. "Here you go little guy." He told the caterpie as he put the bowl in front of it. "You said you wanted some."

Caterpie looked up at the ten year old with surprise. [Can you understand me?] It asked and Ash nodded.

As the Caterpie ate, the others finished off their food as well and started to clean up.

[W-wait!] Caterpie yelled as the four started to leave.

Ash looked at the small bug type and knelt down to it. "Yes? What is it?" He asked.

Caterpie went into the bushes and came back out with an egg. It was dark brown on the bottom while the top half was light brown. The bug Pokemon rolled it to Ash and he picked it up.

[I want you to take me and this egg with you! It was all alone when I found it about a week ago. Please take us with you!] Caterpie exclaimed. Ash smiled and rubbed the big type's head.

"Sure thing." He told Caterpie as he took out a pokeball and tapped it on Caterpie's head. The bug type was sucked in and the ball instantly clicked, showing no struggle and complete acceptance in being captured.

"Cool! I got a Caterpie!" Ash yelled and his Pokemon all laughed at him. He took out a blanket from his bag and wrapped the egg in it before placing it gently into his backpack.

[Ashy? Can I go into my pokeball?] Celebi asked and Ash nodded.

"Ok, let's go you two." Ash said as Celebi went into her pokeball and he put his bag back on. Zorua and Pichu jumped onto his shoulders and the three were off.
