Chapter 2: Sonic's Pokémon Battle
Sonic was sound asleep on a tree branch until the smell of food being cooked woke him up. Drowsy eyed he looked to the horizon, seeing the sun had barely fully risen, meaning it was still early in the morning. "Who wakes up this early to (YAWN) cook breakfast?" Deciding to go check on Ash, he jumped out of the tree and ran back to where he'd set up camp. Upon arriving back at the campsite, Sonic found Ash was already up, and he was the one cooking.
Hearing Sonic walking close by, Ash turned around. "Good morning, Sonic. Sleep well?" Ash asked the hedgehog.
"Yeah, I guess so." Sonic answered. "Do you always get up this early?"
"I do now. A lot has changed for me in the past few months so I have to get up early just to have all my Pokémon's food cooked on time." Ash responded. "I have to cook slowly because I used to burn everything I tried to cook."
"What exactly changed for ya?" Sonic asked a little interested.
Ash started to look depressed and sighed. "I'd rather not talk about." Respecting his privacy, Sonic didn't pressure him to talk. He walked over and sat at the picnic table nearby.
Last night, Sonic had shared the story about him being a Mobian and how he was from another planet, but he hadn't shared about how he got to Ash's world. Ash had yet to Sonic in action. Sonic was curious about Pokémon, so Ash shared with him his knowledge about them and the people who train them. He also told him about how he helped finally bring down Team Rocket. He had even mentioned to Sonic about his dream to become a Pokémon Master. But he didn't want to share his entire story yet.
Ash had now finished the food for his Pokémon and Pikachu had just woken up. Seeing Sonic sitting at the table, the electric mouse greeted him. "Pika."
"Hey there, Pikachu." Sonic replied.
Pikachu walked up to the table. Ash set a yellow bowl full of food in front of the electric mouse. Pikachu began to dig in while its trainer grabbed five Pokéballs from his belt. "Okay everyone, come and get it." Ash said throwing the Pokéballs into the air. Out of them came Buizel and four other Pokémon Sonic wasn't familiar with. One resembled an orange dragon with a flame on the tip of its tail. Next to it was a giant blue beetle. Another was a white and black head with two horns and a mean look on its face. The last one looked like some sort of a green grass snake. Buizel, having already met Sonic, greeted him, while the rest tensed up when they saw him, thinking he was an intruder. Pikachu noticed this and with Buizel's help explained to them what Sonic was. While hearing it they went from confused to amazed, but they eventually relaxed and went to eat.
"Sonic this is Charizard, Heracross, Glalie, and Snivy." Ash walked up to the table. "Sorry Sonic, but I'm not exactly sure what you eat so the best I can do is this." Ash said placing a plate of pink berries in front of the hedgehog.
Sonic recognized the berries from last night. "You gotta be kidding." Sonic said annoyed. "What are these things?"
"They're Pecha berries." Ash answered. "Try one; they're known to be very sweet."
Sonic bit into the small berry and found that Ash wasn't kidding about them being sweet. "Not bad, actually." Sonic kept eating finding them extremely satisfying.
Not long after the meal, Pokémon screams were heard through the forest as well as engine from a car. Ash immediately grabbed his Pokéballs and returned his Pokémon leaving Pikachu. He then turned to Sonic, "You better stay with me Sonic, if you get spotted…well…" Ash said unsure how to explain. Sonic, understanding completely, nodded. "Also, try to stay out of sight for me." Sonic didn't understand that.
"How come?" The hedgehog asked.
"Well, I'm the only person that knows what you are, so let's play it safe for now." Ash answered.
Sonic wasn't the kind of person to play things safe, but still agreed. As the group ran deeper into Ilex Forest they came to what was causing the trouble: a poacher rounding up Paras and Oddish into a giant cage on the back of his vehicle. Quickly hiding behind some trees the group watched.
"What's going on, Ash?" Sonic asked.
"A poacher, that's what. Wait here and stay hidden, okay." Ash said. Sonic reluctantly nodded, deciding he'd only jump in if he needed to. Ash ran towards the poacher with Pikachu behind him. "What do you think you're doing?!" Ash shouted at the poacher.
The poacher turned to Ash, "My job, kid. I was hired to catch any grass types in the Ilex Forest." he said. He then noticed Ash's Pikachu and took an unusual handheld device. "Let's see," he said aiming the device at Pikachu. After a few seconds the device beeped, "Well now, your Pikachu's power level is way off the charts," he put the device away slightly chuckling, "I don't normally let witnesses walk away so easily, but this time I'll make an exception. Now hand over the Pikachu and you'll be free to walk away unharmed."
"What do want my Pikachu for? You just said you were hired to catch grass types?" Ash asked.
"Yes I did." The poacher said, "However, I also stay on the lookout for any super strong Pokémon that I'm certain will fetch an excellent price on the Black Market, and your Pikachu is more than perfectly suited for that. So, are you going to hand it over or are we going to do this the hard way?"
"Not in a million years!" Ash shouted back.
The poacher merely chuckled and pulled out a Pokéball. "You had your chance kid. GO, RHYPERIOR!" Throwing the Pokéball, he released the brown, orange-plated, drill Pokémon.
"PERIOR!"
"GO, PIKACHU!" Ash shouted.
"PIKA!"
"Rhyperior, Horn Drill!" The Rhyperior charged at Pikachu, its horn spinning rapidly.
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Ash said. Pikachu ran at the Rhyperior, its tail glowing white until it turned into metal.
Thinking quickly the poacher shouted, "Rhyperior, drop the Horn Drill and knock it away with Hammer Arm!"
The Rhyperior's horn stopped spinning and its arm started to glow while still charging. The two attacks met, but having the move with the type advantage, Rhyperior was easily able to overpower Pikachu's Iron Tail, knocking him back to where it roughly landed in front of Ash.
"Pikachu, are you okay?" Ash asked with concern for his friend.
"Piiiikaaaaa." Pikachu responded barely able to stand.
Ash quickly grabbed another Pokéball, "Buizel, help Pikachu with Water Pulse!" he shouted releasing the sea weasel Pokémon.
"BUI, BUI!" Buizel shouted. It began to create an orb of water between its paws until it was about a foot wide and fired it at the Rhyperior.
"Rhyperior, Protect!"
"PERIOR!" It shouted creating a barrier of energy to shield itself. The Water Pulse struck the barrier but did nothing to harm the Rhyperior.
"Rhyperior, hit it with Rock Blast!"
The giant rock and ground-type pointed its arm at Buizel and created small boulders in its hands and launched them at the water-type. Buizel dodged the first two shots but the third made its mark and Buizel landed next to Pikachu. Both were struggling to stay on their feet.
Sonic, who was still hidden and watching the battle, had seen enough. He ran to another spot around the clearing still hidden.
"It's too bad this had to end so soon." The poacher said mocking Ash and his Pokémon. "Rhyperior, ROCK WRECK…"
"HOLD IT!"
They all turned to see Sonic standing on a tree branch with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face. "Didn't anyone teach you any manners?" Sonic said.
'What's Sonic doing?!' Ash asked himself.
The poacher looked at the hedgehog with interest while pulling out his handheld scanner. "What're you supposed to be?" The poacher said waiting for information on Sonic from his scanner.
"Unable to read strength. Species unknown." The device said.
"Well, whatever Pokémon you are, the fact that you talk alone will fetch a decent price." The poacher commented.
"Sorry pal, but I'm no sales product." Sonic told him.
"Not yet, you're not." The poacher said with an evil grin.
Sonic jumped down from the branch and landed perfectly on his feet. "You talk big. Can you back it up?"
"Do you really want to get yourself hurt that badly?" The poacher questioned.
"Come on. Hit me with your best shot," Sonic taunted, "and don't hold back. I don't want someone holding back to catch me."
The poacher chuckled. "As you wish. Rhyperior, Rock Wrecker!"
The giant drill Pokémon turned towards the blue hedgehog forming a glowing purple-red boulder between its hands. Rearing its arm back, the Rhyperior hurled the giant rock at Sonic, who just stood there smirking. Time seemed to slow down until the attack crashed at where Sonic was standing, causing the ground to shake a little.
"SONIC!" Ash screamed.
"Humph. Stupid Pokémon, thinking it had a chance." The poacher walked towards the small crater the attack had formed. "Hopefully it won't be injured too much. It's no good to sell if it...WHA!"
After the dust had settled the entire crater could be seen, but something was missing: Sonic.
"Where did it…?" The poacher said looking around.
"Hey tough guy." Everyone turned around to see Sonic atop another branch, smirk still visible, completely unharmed. "I'm still waiting." The blue hedgehog said mocking the poacher.
'How did he…?' Ash wondered.
"Okay, smart guy, avoid this. Rhyperior, Rock Blast!" The poacher shouted pointing at Sonic.
The giant rock and ground-type fired multiple smaller rocks at Sonic. Sonic ran out of the way and down the tree avoiding the small projectiles the Rhyperior fired at him.
Blue streak, speeds by,
Sonic the Hedgehog!
The blue hedgehog ran around the area avoiding the Rock Blast attacks. He was moving so fast that everyone else had a hard time keeping him in their eyesight.
Too fast for the naked eye,
Sonic the Hedgehog!
Sonic ran all over the place effortlessly dodging the Rhyperior's attacks.
Sonic,
He can really move!
Sonic stopped right behind the Rhyperior. When it looked over its shoulder, Sonic stuck his tongue out teasingly. This only made the drill Pokémon angrier than it already was.
Sonic,
He's got an attitude!
The Rhyperior turned around and continued firing rocks at Sonic, who then began to avoid them with his amazing speed.
Sonic,
He's the fastest thing alive!
Sonic then decided to do an offensive maneuver. He turned and ran straight for the Rhyperior. "Rhyperior, use Hammer Arm when it gets close enough!" The poacher shouted. The drill Pokémon raised its glowing arm and shot it downward as the hedgehog drew closer. Sonic, noticing this, made a quick turn causing the Hammer Arm attack to slam into the ground.
Look out, when he storms through,
Sonic the Hedgehog!
The now completely ticked-off Rhyperior, not needing its trainers command, went back to using Rock Blast at Sonic.
Ash, who had been watching the whole time along with Pikachu and Buizel, was absolutely amazed with Sonic's speed and impossible accuracy.
Don't doubt what he can do,
Sonic the Hedgehog!
The Rhyperior was starting to get worn out from the constant attacks and soon became dizzy. Sonic came to a stop seeing this and shouted, "Ash, hurry!"
Sonic,
He can really move!
"Glalie, I choose you!" Ash shouted throwing his ice-type's Pokéball. The face Pokémon then materialized in front of Ash.
Sonic,
He's got an attitude!
"Glalie! Buizel! Ice Beam and Water Pulse!" Ash commanded his two Pokémon. They both obeyed and fired their respective attacks at the Rhyperior, causing major damage to it. "Now Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Ash shouted to his partner. Pikachu, having regained enough strength from the break sonic gave him, charged at the Rhyperior bringing its now metallic tail down on its head hard.
Sonic,
He's the fastest thing alive!
The drill Pokémon collapsed knocked out. The poacher, seeing his Pokémon beaten, panicked and made a run for his car. He was almost there when Sonic appeared on top of the driver's seat blocking his way. "Going somewhere?"
Sonic,
He can really move!
"Get out of my way!" The poacher shouted and dove at the blue hedgehog. Sonic jumped and kicked him right under the chin sending him backwards and causing the keys in his hands to go flying.
Sonic,
He's got an attitude.
Sonic saw the keys flying and made a dash for them.
Sonic,
He's the fastest thing alive!
Sonic caught the keys and spun them around on his finger.
He's the fastest thing alive!
He's the fastest thing ALIVE!
"Nothing to it." Sonic said grinning.
After freeing all the Pokémon and receiving their thanks, Ash called the police and reported poaching. To make sure the now unconscious poacher didn't try to run if he woke before police arrived, Ash returned his Rhyperior and took any other Pokéballs he had placing them in the front seat while stuffing the poacher into the cage.
"Well, that's that. He won't be causing any more trouble around here." Ash stated
"Doesn't look like it." Sonic responded.
"But Sonic, how did you do that? How do you run so fast?" Ash asked curious.
"I told you last night, didn't I?" Sonic said, "I can do a lot of things."
Later on, after returning to the campsite, Sonic finished telling his story about how he fought with Dr. Eggman getting himself sent to this world and how he ended up in that lake last night.
"Well that's some story." Ash said, "Do you know if any of your friends or this 'Dr. Eggman' is here?"
"I wish I did." Sonic answered.
Ash thought for a moment before saying, "You know, I think I know someone who might be able to help us out in getting you home and finding any of your friends if they're here."
"Who would that be?" Sonic asked.
"His name is Professor Oak. He's a league sponsored Pokémon Professor. If anyone can help us it's him."
"Sounds good to me." Sonic responded.
After they had finished packing up everything at the camp site they walked down the path through Ilex Forest until they came across a phone booth.
"I'm going to give Professor Oak a call to let him know we're coming." Ash said, "It'll only take a minute." He walked into the phone booth and dialed the number for the professor's lab. After a few tones someone answered.
"Hello? Oak laboratory, this is Samuel Oak speaking." Replied Ash's old mentor.
"Hey Professor, its Ash."
"Oh, hello Ash. And where might you be?" The professor asked.
"Ilex Forest."
"Well, I'm sorry to say Ash, but I don't really…wait, do you say 'Ilex Forest?'"
"Uh, yes."
"Ash, listen carefully, news reports this morning showed how a strange blue Pokémon escaped capture in Goldenrod City and it even outran the S Squadron." The professor explained. "It was seen headed towards Ilex Forest. So if you come across it I want you to try and catch it then bring it to me. Gotta go now, good luck."
"Wait Prof…" Ash said right before the line ended.
When Ash stepped out of the phone booth, Sonic noticed he had a concerned look on his face.
"What's wrong, Ash?" Sonic asked.
"We may have a problem."
