A/N: Hello, everyone. Time to start off this reboot! I'm sure some of you would've preferred me to continue my original Poké Ed series, but let's face it. 75% of it was absolute crap. In my own opinion, the remake chapters of 3 and 4 were the only chapters I was proud of. Like I said, this plot will completely fare off with the original Poké Ed Kanto. It will not harbor any signs of "anime" references, but instead will go on ahead and follow the "manga and game" roots. Some plot keys will still linger in this new story, but it should be just fine. I would very much appreciate constructive criticism so please do that! This also takes place BEFORE Big Picture Show. BPS will be in-canon with this story eventually; I just have reasons as to why it didn't happen before this story.

*Special thanks to Bulbapedia and Ed, Edd, n Eddy wiki.

Poké Ed Sagas: Kanto Reboot

Episode 1: Simple Beginnings

The cul-de-sac. It was a normal suburban neighborhood, but three pre-teens changed everything. They were known as the "Eds." A group name that has been known throughout the entire cul-de-sac. They weren't exactly famous, but were more annoyances throughout the neighborhood. The Eds had something special though. An incredible ability to produce entertainment for the whole neighborhood. Known throughout the neighborhood as scams, they indulge themselves in the Eds mischief and participating in whatever scam they've set up for them, but they do tend to backfire in the end. Nevertheless, the Eds continued on their scams hoping for once to actually keep the money they acquired. However, one arrival changed the neighborhood forever.

This man was known as Professor Oak. He had recently moved in and gathered quite the attention specifically from the Eds. Why this Professor moved to Peach Creek is what piqued the curiosity of everyone in the first place, but were hoping to figure out the reasons soon.

Professor Oak quickly realized the many talents of this neighborhood and called upon three people to see if his statements were true.

These three people were introduced to creatures known as Pokémon and were happy to accept the Professor's request.

Using technological encyclopedias known as Pokédexes, they set sight for the Kanto Region and began their journey.

The trio that managed to be the first to be sent off were the Eds.

Although the Professor told them that the cul-de-sac gang will soon join them as well.

So, the Eds packed their things into backpacks they recently used for school; they set off by plane and ready themselves for the Kanto Region.

These three individuals were known as Ed, Double D, and Eddy.

Eddy was the self-proclaimed leader of the Eds. Although one of the shortest kids in the cul-de-sac, he makes up for this weakness through his loud voice being able to get everyone's attention within his radius. Wearing a yellow red-striped shirt to cover his body. He also wore light blue pants and a wallet chain sticking out on the side of his pants. Eddy can also be recognized easily by three strands of black hair sticking of his head.

Edd or Double D was the smart mind behind the Eds. Being at medium height, he can be easily spotted by his trademark sock hat on his head. His attire consisted of a reddish-orange -t-shirt worn on his torso, purple shorts, tall red socks that cover his entire knee, and blue shoes. He was known for being physically weaker then anyone in the cul-de-sac, but can surpass anyone with his intellect.

Ed was the muscle and goofball of the Eds. His height was slightly higher then Double D's and can be recognized easily by his trademark monobrow. His hair was made into a buzz-cut, closer examination reveals that the hairs are colored orange. He wore a red-and-white striped shirt under a green jacket.

Being the first three to get sent to Kanto, they were rewarded with the Kanto Starters of the region and were immediately sent to Kanto the next day they received their starters.

Being impatient, Eddy chose first and got himself a Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur was a quadruped, reptilian creature that somewhat resembles a toad or a young dinosaur with a spotted blue-green hide. It had three white toes or claws growing out of its four legs, and its eyes are a bright red. The most notable feature of this Pokémon is the onion-like bulb on its back, which grows from a seed planted on its back. Though they usually walk on four legs, a Bulbasaur can rise up on its hind legs. Explained to Eddy as the easiest Pokémon to raise out of all three starters and a male grass-type Pokémon, this was definitely gonna be a fun journey for Eddy.

Ed was next to choose and randomly chose Charmander. Charmander was an orange reptilian creature resembling a tailed bipedal salamander with some dinosaur qualities, particularly like those of theropods. Charmander had four small fangs visible on its upper and lower jaws, a cream underside and an expansive cream coloration on the sole of its foot. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. Charmander have sharp strong claws to defend itself. Charmander's gender was revealed to be male Fire-type and was one of the more difficult ones to raise, nevertheless Ed was particular happy to have a "monster" pet of his own.

Being the most patient out of the trio, Double D gladly waited for the last one to be available and it turned out to be a Squirtle. Squirtle was a small, tailed bipedal Pokémon. However, it had also been shown to be able to walk on all fours. They resemble a light blue turtle with their most notable feature being the hard shell on their back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. Double D was fascinated easily by Pokémon and was grateful he got to study so many creatures. Revealed to be a male Water-type Pokémon, the Eds were ready to set off into a brand new journey.

Somewhere in the sky - Ed, Double D, Eddy

It was almost midnight and the trio were close to drifting off to sleep. "Psst, Double D. When are we getting off this stupid plane?" Eddy asked. Since the roar of the engine was loud, they were able to speak in their regular voice tones.

"Early morning, I believe," Double D answered, yawning. "If you want an estimate, about six in the morning."

Ed was already asleep at the time and was snoring loudly. Thankfully, the roar of the engine was loud enough to drown the sounds of his snores.

Eddy groaned. "Fine, guess I'm going to sleep then," he yawned turning to his side and faced the window.

Double D was far too excited to get some sleep, but mainly because he wanted to finish the book he received from Professor Oak before they left. This was all the info they had to know about Pokémon and the Kanto Region. He snickered a bit from Ed on his right side and Eddy already asleep on his left. Knowing that Ed and Eddy will problably need the book's help as well, he took it upon his curiosity and was determined to understand the basics before landing.

Kanto Airport - Ed, Double D, Eddy

Eddy yawned, his eyes were still drowsy. "The sun isn't even up yet!" He complained.

Double D and Ed followed suit and harmonized their yawns with Eddy's. "Well, it's better to get some sleep then nothing, Eddy," Double D replied, yawning weakly.

"So, where the heck do we have to go?" Eddy asked already feeling impatient.

Double D opened up his bag and got out the book to review. "Well, let's see..." He took a brief pause to flip through the pages of the book. "Here we go." Clearing his throat, he began to read out loud.

Chapter 3 - Pokémon Basics

The basics of a beginning Pokémon Trainer are very easy to explain. The goal of a Pokémon Trainer was to catch new Pokémon, train them, and win Pokémon badges from each gym city. A gym badge was proof of a trainer's skill and will need eight or more to compete in the Pokémon League.

However, they're many careers that many people can take. Such examples are being Pokémon Trainers or Pokémon Breeders.

"Well that's about it, Eddy," he finished reading, but realized that it was all for nothing.

The two Eds were already asleep before Double D even said one word from that single page. "Well, this isn't very surprising..." Double D muttered, looking at the two Eds sleeping on the floor.

Double D took a sat down at one of the nearby benches and pulled out his journal to jot down all of his findings in the Kanto Region.

"Hmm, let's see..." It only took a few seconds for Double D's eyes to slowly close.

Two hours have quickly passed and even Double D was knocked out. Eventually, the trio was back in business and shockingly, the Eds somehow still have all of their stuff.

Airport Path Exit - Ed, Double D, Eddy

Ed and Eddy were laughing hysterically exiting the airport. However, a panting and sweaty Double D was not amused at what happened.

"Honestly Eddy," he said pausing between each word to catch his breath. "Isn't it a bit too early to be causing trouble?"

"Lighten up, Double D!" Eddy replied still having tears in his eyes. "So, I accidentally set a shop on fire, but you gotta admit it was pretty hilarious!"

"You almost got arrested for it, Eddy! The damages done were taken out of our entire fund provided by Professor Oak to repair it!" Double D scolded.

Eddy drowned Double D's words. "Who cares about that? We'll just get money the old fashion way!"

"Selling arteries?" Ed commented.

"Where are we going anyway?" Eddy added looking back towards Double D.

The trio were following the path away from the airport, but they had no way of even knowing where to go.

Double D pulled another item from his backpack, it was a town map courtesy of the Professor. "Well, let's see. According to the map, the nearest populated area is currently known as "Viridian City," he explained putting the map back in his backpack.

"But I don't like turnips, Double D!" Ed complained.

"Viridian City, Ed. Not Vegetable City," he corrected him. "We just follow the path and we'll be at our destination."

Eddy picked up Bulbasaur's starter Poké Ball. Since the Poké Ball was currently inactive, it took the shape of a marble. "How do I get this thing to work?"

"Well, if you didn't fall asleep then maybe you would've learned how to properly send out your Pokémon," Double D told him.

"Skip the lectures and spit it out already!" Eddy demanded.

He sighed and pulled out Squirtle's inactive Poké Ball. "Well, I might as well show it visually."

"It's very simple, Eddy. Press the tiny middle white button and it'll automatically enlarge itself back to its original ball-shape form," Double D explained, this was copied by both Eddy and Ed.

"Now, just simply throw it out and the Pokémon will appear besides you," he added. "If you want to add in some flair then I suggest you call out the Pokémon's name."

Double D didn't call out the Pokémon's name, but instead only relied on throwing it up to summon it. Out popped up his Squirtle.

"It should be self-explanatory from here on, Eddy."

"Charmander, come out!" Ed called out throwing his Pokéball happily in the air. The ball crashed onto the ground and popped out Charmander.

Eddy just lazily plopped the Poké ball on the ground and surprisingly it managed to summon Bulbasaur out. "What do we do with these things again? Don't we like kick people's butts with them?"

Double D nodded. "Very good, Eddy! They are known as "Pokémon Battles." You pit yourself up against another Pokémon and test to see who can defeat their opponent first," he explained.

"Then let's try it out!" Eddy yelled out excitingly looking directly towards Double D. "Let's fight, sockhead!"

Double D shook his head. "Sorry Eddy, but I'm not exactly ready for Pokémon Battling,"

"Don't be such a sissy, Double D!" Eddy said out trying to bring out Double D's confidence, but turned to Ed instead. "Ed! You wanna fight?"

Ed nodded excitingly. "Let's rumble, Eddy!"

The two got in position, but were quickly stopped. "Wait!" Double D yelled out.

"What now?" Eddy shouted, impatiently tapping his right foot.

"I think it might be better if you didn't square off in the middle of the path," Double D suggested.

"We might get run over, Eddy!" Ed added.

Eddy grumbled. "Fine! Let's move to that patch of grass on the side."

The trio slowly headed towards the big grass plains that was open to accommodate any Pokémon Battles. The starter Pokémon also took this chance to converse among themselves.

("So, uhh. Does anyone else realize that my trainer is a complete idiot?") Charmander asked them, the two starters shook their heads.

("Not at all, I just think he's really..well...interesting.") Squirtle replied.

("I think he just doesn't shower or something.") Bulbasaur added.

("I think I got lucky with my trainer!") Squirtle gloated.

("You mean the quiet sheltered nerd?") Bulbasaur asked, this got a nod from Squirtle.

("He's smart and all, but I think he lacks backbone really...") Charmander added.

("And then there's my trainer...") Bulbasaur expressed in disappointment. ("I personally think he's not worthy to train Pokémon..")

("What makes you say that?") The other two asked in unison.

("He's short-tempered, has a very loud voice, and he's completely insulting his two other friends,") Bulbasaur explained. ("I think he calls them sockfeet and browmono or something.")

"Okay! This will do." Eddy yelled out.

"Any more complaints, Double D?" He asked with an annoyed tone.

Double D shook his head. "Not at this particular moment in time, Eddy, but it'll do,"

Eddy and Ed were on opposite sides of the plain, they had already taken Bulbasaur and Charmander out respectively and were ready.

"According to the Pokémon rules, each battle can be overseered by a referee," Double D explained, but quickly realized what this meant. "So I guess I'll be watching this battle."

"You ready to get taken down, Ed?" Eddy asked already marking his win.

"Let's rumble!" Ed roared a loud battle cry, this was definitely firing him up.

"Bulbasaur, get in there!" Eddy commanded.

Bulbasaur took a quick jump to the middle of the arena with Charmander doing the same.

Double D raised both hands in the air, he was ready to signal the fight to start. "Let the battle commence!" Double D yelled out.

"Bulbasaur, use-" he paused in hesitation. "How the heck do I use this thing!" Eddy shouted demanding some answers from Double D.

"That's why you need to review, Eddy," Double D pulled out his guide book once more and took a few seconds to flip through the pages.

Ed quickly took this chance. "Oh! Oh! I know what to do!" He got some shocked expressions from Eddy and Double D.

"You do?" The duo asked in unison.

Ed nodded happily. He raised up his right index finger pointing it directly towards Bulbasaur. "Charmander, use your sharp claws and rip the skin like the wolfman!" Ed commanded.

Charmander turned to his trainer in confusion. ("Was that even a command?") Charmander asked.

("I think he's telling you to use Scratch or something.") Bulbasaur replied, aiding his opponent.

Eddy laughed at Ed's failure. "Ha! You don't know either Ed!" Eddy turned back to Double D. "Now come on! Give us the answer already, sockhead!"

Charmander shrugged. ("I'll take it, I guess...") He charged towards Bulbasaur which caught Eddy's attention.

"Wait what!" Eddy shouted realizing that Ed's move actually worked.

"Go Charmander!" Ed cheered waiting for the reaction.

Double D was still flipping through the pages trying to find the correct quote from the book to explain. "Chapter 5? No, that's not it," he muttered not even paying attention at what's transpiring.

Charmander leaps towards Bulbasaur and gave one quick slice upon his face. Since Eddy wasn't giving any commands, Bulbasaur could do nothing but take the hit. The attacking Pokémon went back to its original position awaiting further orders.

"That was cool!" Ed said in awe. This was the feel of a Pokémon battle.

For Eddy, however. He had to impatiently wait for Double D's answers, but realized he couldn't lose to Ed. "Oh yeah? If you wanna play it that way, Ed!" Eddy yelled out with a confident smirk.

Realizing he had no knowledge to how Pokémon battling works, he went for the beginning approach. "Bulbasaur, attack that Charmander!" Eddy commanded pointing towards the fire-lizard.

Bulbasaur expressed some confusion. ("What attack is he wanting me to do?") He asked Charmander. Even though this was a Pokémon battle, it was just for fun.

Charmander shrugged. ("Tackle, I think?")

("Ehh, fine with me,") Bulbasaur charged towards Charmander ready to attack.

"Oh yeah! Show that Charmander whose boss!" Eddy cheered him on, he was finally seeing the fun side of Pokémon battling.

Ed, however realized how to fight. "Charmander, get away!" Ed cried out. Doing what he asked, Charmander side-stepped to the left dodging Bulbasaur's Tackle attack.

"Hey! He can't do that!" Eddy complained turning towards Double D.

Double D was still flipping through the many pages of the guide, but finally managed to find the correct page. "I believe I found it, Eddy!"

Ed and Eddy were both curious. "Spit it out already then!" Eddy demanded.

"I'll just read it straight out of the book," he told them clearing his throat. Giving a brief pause, he read the page word for word.

Chapter 6 - Pokémon Moves

One of the most basic ways to win a Pokémon Battle was by using Pokémon Moves. Pokémon Moves are used by Pokémon, they can be used primarily for attacking, defense, speed, special attack, special defense, and raising each respective stat. When a Pokémon has a low level, they may have basic moves such as "Tackle" or "Scratch." You can use moves by simply calling out the move you want your Pokémon to use. Overtime, Pokémon will learn new moves as they get stronger.

Double D closed the book and for once the two Eds were actually listening to him read.

Eddy yawned, he was listening, but it wasn't surprising to Double D that he found it boring. "So, how do we know what moves they have?" Eddy asked.

Double D took a few seconds to think. "Well, there is the Pokédex."

Both Ed and Eddy simply followed and took them out. "Now what, Double D?" Ed asked.

Double D took out his own Pokédex and decided to see if it does work. "If my theory is correct, then this should unveil all of the moves that your Pokémon currently has," he explained, extending his right arm.

He pointed to Bulbasaur hoping for some reaction. "Bulbasaur currently knows the moves, Tackle and Growl," This made the Eds jump a little, this was after all, their first time using the Pokédex.

"Tackle and Growl, huh?" Eddy quoted getting a confident smirk all over his face.

Double D returned the Pokédex back to his backpack. "Well, that seemed to be the most convenient way to learn Eddy."

Ed followed Double D's example and pointed his towards Charmander. "Charmander currently knows the moves, Scratch and Growl." His question being answered, Ed returned the Pokédex in his coat pocket.

Eddy was anxious to get things started and quickly called out a command. "Use Tackle!" Bulbasaur finally charged in with no confusion added in.

"Get out of the way, Charmander!" Ed commanded, this made Charmander dodge once more from Bulbasaur's attack, he easily side-stepped to his right.

Now the two Pokémon were on opposite sides of their respective positions, both Ed and Eddy called out a command at once. "Scratch!" "Tackle!" Naturally, this made the two Pokémon charge at the same time.

"Is that even allowed?" Double D asked himself.

Bulbasaur got the upper hand and released a mighty Tackle onto Charmander's stomach. The fire-lizard crashes onto the plain.

"Oh yeah! I win!" Eddy declared.

"Don't be so overconfident, Eddy," Double D commented, attracting Eddy's attention to his opponent's Pokémon.

Charmander was unfazed, he didn't even look like he was damaged. "Hey! That's cheating!" Eddy yelled out.

Double D shook his head. "I'm afraid that's fair, Eddy," he took a brief pause and sighed. "You should've paid attention Eddy! Pokémon battling guidelines state that you can only achieve victory when the trainer's Pokémon are unable to battle."

Eddy stayed silent for a while before regaining back his overconfident smirk. "If that's the case, then I'll just kick your Charmander's butt!" Eddy shouted.

"Monster battle, Eddy!" Ed replied with a happy smirk. Ed only cared about the fun of battling and wasn't concern with winning or losing.

In unison once more, the two Eds commanded both Pokémon to use Growl.

Both Pokémon shuddered at the same time, but caught Eddy and Ed off-guard. "What did it do, Double D?" Ed asked.

Double D recollected his thoughts for a moment. "The guide book has explained that some moves can lower a Pokémon stats," he explained. "It would be easy to assume that Growl is one of those stat-lowering moves.

Eddy wasn't impressed. "That's it? It only made them shudder?"

"It does seem to be fairly based on strategy, Eddy." Double D argued.

"Growl may be useless, but I can still..." Eddy paused pointing his index finger towards Charmander, "tackle!" Finishing up his sentence, Bulbasaur charged.

"Charmander, use Growl!" Ed commanded, causing the fire-lizard to lower one of Bulbasaur's stats, but unfortunately it didn't stop Bulbasaur.

The Tackle collided with Charmander's stomach once more and sending him crashing down. Eddy laughed. "Ed, Growl is useless! Just use Scratch!" He suggested, continuing the offensive.

Double D was actually surprised by Ed's move. "Hmm, what does Growl even do?" Double Dasked himself, he witnesses another Growl followed by a colliding Tackle. "I understand it lowers one of a Pokémon's stats, but I'm guessing we're about to find out what it really does."

The remainder of the battle were constant Growls followed by Tackles. It felt endless and it was ticking Eddy off. It was almost ten o' clock and they had been going at it for twenty minutes.

"Agh! This battle is starting to tick me off!" Eddy yelled out in impatience. He quickly called out another Tackle, but this time, things were gonna be different.

"Use Scratch!" Ed commanded, this caught Eddy in shock.

The collision caused both Pokémon to hit and take damage for the attacks.

Eddy yelled out in anger. "Man! Your Charmander has got to be cheating!"

Double D quickly stepped in. "I don't think Charmander was cheating, Eddy," he stated, putting his index finger on the edge of his chin. "This may be much of a guess, but I'm theorizing that Growl may lower a Pokémon's attack."

"This could also explain why Bulbasaur wasn't damaging Charmander much at all," Double D added in. "It is also very risky."

"How? Ed is practically winning with my Bulbasaur's attack being Jimmified!" Eddy replied using Jimmy as the base for one of his words.

"That may be so, but the risks are definitely noticeable," Double D explained using his index finger to point at Charmander. "Even though Ed's Charmander has been taking little damage, those little damages Bulbasaur has been making will be adding up."

"So Ed's Charmander is close to getting knocked out?" Eddy asked, Double D answered with a simple nod.

"Don't forget that your Bulbasaur can take normal damage from Scratch, Eddy," Double D told him. "So it means that its a race to see who can defeat their opponent first."

Eddy still had that overconfident grin. "That someone is me!" He follows his next word up with a Tackle.

"Scratch time!" Ed commanded.

Every turn was the same, a colliding duo of Scratches and Tackles, but this couldn't last forever. One Pokémon was destined to fall and both trainers weren't willing to give up so easily, but both Charmander and Bulbasaur were almost ready to go down.

"Let's end this once and for all, Ed!" He yelled out.

"Tackle!" Eddy gave a strong yell for this one as it was the last attack he was gonna pull of in this battle.

"Scratch!" Ed's yell was much stronger then his previous ones, but not as strong as Eddy's.

As the two Pokémon charged at each other with one claw and one head-on attack to settle it, the collision caused both Pokémon to hit each other at the same time unlike past collisions where Bulbasaur or Charmander would get the first hit.

"Oh my, the suspense!" Double D commented, was he raising his arm at Ed? Or Eddy?

("G-g-ood fight, I actually didn't expect this from this trainer...") Bulbasaur said weakly expressing some slight shock from Eddy's commands.

Charmander nodded in agreement. ("I a-actually thought he was just...an idiot...ugh.")

Bulbasaur smirked. ("I guess you can never judge a book by its...ugh..cover,") With that last word said, both Charmander and Bulbasaur fell to the ground, both fainting at the same time.

Double D raised both his hands up in confusion, but went ahead with the results. "It's a...uhh...tie..."

"Good fight, Eddy!" Ed complimented picking up Charmander with his two hands.

Eddy was still silent, however he actually had fun at Pokémon battling. "I would've won if you hadn't use that stupid Growl!" He said with a smirk.

"So, uhh, how do we put these things back in their Poké Balls?" Eddy asked.

Double D gave a smile. "Thank goodness I actually remember this chapter! Allow me to recite it." Clearing his throat one last time, he recited the chapter.

Chapter 10 - The End of a Pokémon Battle

After defeating an opponent's Pokémon or that it may have ended with a tie, a Pokémon may have fainted during that battle. You simply return them back to their Pokéballs and use items that you may have on-hand or Pokémon Centers to restore back to normal. Enlarge your Poké Ball to ball form, say "return" while pointing the Poké Ball at your Pokémon, and it will be called back to the Poké Ball awaiting to be healed.

Eddy actually listened this time, but still broke out a yawn. "Still a boring lecture, sockhead," he commented, but he understood how to return a Pokémon now.

Using the red laser to call Charmander and Bulbasaur back to their Poké Balls respectively, it was time to continue the adventure. "What do we do now, Double D?" Ed asked.

Double D quickly got out his Town Map once more, "According to the map, we're not that far off from Viridian City and we can get your two Pokémon prepped for healing."

"So we just follow the path?" Eddy asked.

Double D gave a nod.

The trio departed away from the plains and headed back to the path to Viridian City, hopefully finding a Pokémon Center to heal them.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed chapter one and hoping you understand my reasons for restarting this fic. Like I said, this fic will be completely different in plot, but will retain something from the old Poké Ed Sagas: Kanto.

If you ask why this isn't after BPS, then you will figure it out eventually, the story will plan to explain itself soon.
