The Viridian city gym battle.
It was a nice day at Viridian city, when Ash and his friends arrived there in hopes to get the last gym badge the boy needs to enter the Pokémon league of Kanto. It wasn't long before they got to the gym building, only to be surprised to see that Gary was there too. Gary: “Well if it isn't Ash the loser trainer.” Ash: “Gary?!, why are you here?” Gary: “Isn't it obvious, I came to challenge the strongest gym leader in all of Kanto, who would no doubt take you down.” Ash: “Don't be so certain, I managed to earn seven badges.” Gary: “Well I managed to earn ten of them.” Ash: “What?!” Gary: “Well there are more gyms around than just eight, of course you'll only need eight badges, but I can't have too many to prove I'm the best, now I'm going inside, smell ya later.” said Gary, before he enters the gym and the doors were closed. Ash tried to get in but the guards told him that only one challenger at a time can enter, much to Ash's dismay. Ash: “Aw man… he's beaten me again…” Pikachu: [Don't worry Ash, you can still get the badge, so what if he has more badges, you're still the best trainer I know.] Ash: “Thanks Pikachu… I guess…” so with the gym occupied at the moment, Ash and the others went to the Pokémon center to have a little check up. Meanwhile, inside the gym, Gary was able to take down all of the gym leader's Pokémon, or so he thought at first. Gary: “Ha!, some powerful gym leader you turned out to be, no Pokémon of yours is a match for me.” said Gary, before the gym leader, named Giovanni (voiced by Ted Lewis) made an evil smile on his face. Giovanni: “Really… then allow me to show you my most powerful Pokémon…” said Giovanni, before he snapped his fingers, and suddenly, an unknown kind of Pokémon, wearing some kind of armor, came to the scene, and Gary's Pokédex had no info on it. Gary: “What the?… what is that?” Giovanni: “This here is Mewtwo… the world's most powerful Pokémon… it can not be defeated…” said Giovanni with an evil smile, while Gary looked at Mewtwo with shock. Back at the Pokémon center, Ash was thinking of a good strategy against the gym leader, when the Team Rocket trio showed up and caught Pikachu in a rubber bag and making a retreat. Ash and his friends chased down the Team Rocket trio all the way to the Viridian gym building, and once they opened the doors, the group saw that the room was dark, and a light was shining on Gary, who was out cold as it seems. Meowth: “What happened to him?” James: “Looks like he decided to sleep on the ground.” Jessie: “That doesn't seem very comfortable…” it wasn't long before Gary finally woke up, seeing Ash in front of him. Ash: “Gary, what happened?” Gary: “The gym leader… had a Pokémon that the Pokédex didn't knew about… it was not only very powerful… it's evil…” Ash: “Evil…?, but there can't be an evil Pokémon…” suddenly, more lights came on, and Giovanni was seen on the other side of the battlefield. Giovanni: “Are you a new challenger?” Ash: “Yes, and you must be the gym leader…” Giovanni: “That's correct.” Meowth: “Boss?!, you're a gym leader too?!” Misty: “Did Meowth just call him… boss?” Brock: “Then that must mean… he's the boss of Team Rocket!” Ash: “But if that's true… then this gym… it belongs to Team Rocket!” Giovanni: “Yes, it's just a front to cover our real work, which should be remained secret if my agents were not such idiots with big mouths.” Meowth: “Oops… my bad…” James: “Oh boy… I think the twerp's in trouble now…” Jessie: “No kidding, the boss is very strong…” Meowth: “Yeah… and I hate to get on his bad side…” said the Team Rocket trio, while Ash tighten his fist in anger. Ash: “This can't be right… the gym leaders I met before now were different in many ways… but they all had one thing in common… and that was how much they love their Pokémon!, not a single one till now were someone that steals other trainers' Pokémon like you!, I refused to believe it!” Giovanni: “Well I don't care what you believe it or not, but what do you plan to do about it?, are you going to battle me?” Ash: “… Yes… but this isn't just another battle with a gym leader… I challenge the enemy of all Pokémon!” Giovanni: “Very well… let's see you can do better against the same Pokémon that took down your friend.” said Giovanni, before Mewtwo showed up again, and Gary was scared by the sight of it. Ash: “So that's the mystery Pokémon?” Gary: “Yeah… please Ash, don't battle!, it's far too strong!, if it was beyond me, than you don't stand a chance against it either!” Misty: “I think Gary might be right on this one… this Pokémon looks very powerful…” Brock: “And besides, we need to get Pikachu back.” Giovanni: “Tell you what, if you can beat Mewtwo, not only will I give you the Earth badge, I'll ask my agents to give back your Pikachu, sound good?” Ash: “Fine by me…” Jessie: “What?!, but boss, what if he beats you and…” Giovanni: “Are you questioning me?” Jessie: “Uh… no sir…” Giovanni: “Then do as I say.” said Giovanni, before Ash sends out his Charizard to battle. The duel between Charizard and Mewtwo was intense, and it seems that Charizard was losing, that is until the fire type damaged armored helmet of the psychic type's head. Soon, after many slashes, the armor on Mewtwo was shattered, and Mewtwo was free, before passing out to the ground as the armor was not only controlling the psychic type, but was taking a toll on it's psychic energy as well. Gary: “I don't believe it… he won…?” Team Rocket trio: “The twerp won?!” Misty and Brock: “Ash won!” Pikachu: [Alright Ash!, I knew you and Charizard could do it!] shouted Pikachu in joy, before Ash went over to Charizard and put him back into his Pokéball, and then looked at the gym leader. Ash: “Alright, I won the battle, now hand over Pikachu.” Giovanni: “You only won through luck… but I am a man of my word… Jessie, hand the boy back his Pikachu.” Jessie: “But sir… oh yes sir…” said Jessie, as she gives Ash back Pikachu, and the duo were happy to be reunited once again. Giovanni: “And here's the Earth badge, just like I promised.” said Giovanni, before throwing the badge to Ash, who looked a bit disappointed. Misty: “What's wrong?” Ash: “It's just… this badge was given to me by the Kanto region's strongest gym leader… but it also came from the boss of Team Rocket… I don't know if I should be happy or upset…” Brock: “Yeah, it's understandable to have mix feelings of it.” said Brock, putting his hand on Ash's shoulder. Giovanni: “Agents, we're leaving.” Meowth: “Yes boss… and the gym?” Giovanni: “Well since these people know who I am… I have no choice to abandon it in ruins to hide my tracks.” said Giovanni, before he pulls out a device from his pocket, pressing a button and the whole building started to fall apart. Gary: “The building's falling apart!” Misty: “We gotta get out of here!” shouted Misty, before she and the others begin to make a run for it while Giovanni and the Team Rocket trio took a different way. Suddenly, Ash stopped, remembering about Mewtwo. Ash: “Oh no!, Mewtwo is still inside!” Gary: “Wait a minute!, you can't go back there!” Ash: “If I don't, the rubble will kill that Pokémon, I can't let that happen!” shouted Ash, before he runs back into the building and tries to carry Mewtwo. Unaware to the boy at the moment, was that Mewtwo was witnessing the young human risking his life to help him escape. Suddenly, a large piece of the ceiling was starting to fall from above Ash and Mewtwo, but before the piece could hit them however, Mewtwo used his Teleport to get himself and Ash out of the building safely. Misty: “Ash!, are you okay?” Ash: “Yeah… but how did we get out?” Brock: “Mewtwo must have used Teleport.” said Brock, before Mewtwo (voiced by Dan Green), spoke to the group. Mewtwo: “Yes… I did use Teleport… but tell me… why did you help me?” Asked Mewtwo through telepathy, which surprised everyone except Ash, as he believes he was still talking in Pokémon speak. Ash: “Why wouldn't I?, you were out cold on the ground and Giovanni left you there… I couldn't let you get hurt.” Mewtwo: “But… I'm just a clone… a tool for battle.” Ash: “You're no tool to me… but what do you mean clone?” Mewtwo: “I was a clone created by Team Rocket… from the DNA of the mythical Pokémon called Mew… designed to be the world's most powerful Pokémon… a tool for battle… nothing more…” Ash: “But that's true, clone or not, you're still a living being like me and everyone else.” this surprised Mewtwo, he wasn't expecting to hear such words from a human, especially one he just met. Pikachu: [Trust me… Ash might be an idiot, but he knows what he's talking about this time, and his love for Pokémon is truly amazing.] Ash: “Hey!, I'm no idiot!, but yeah, I do love all kinds of Pokémon…” Mewtwo: “Wait… you can understand what Pikachu is saying?” Ash: “Yeah, I can understand all Pokémon.” All: “What?!” said everyone with a gasp, causing Ash to cover his mouth as he realized that he just revealed a big secret of his to them. Ash: “Uh… oops… that was meant to be a secret…” Mewtwo: “I see… well I owe you my life… thank you…” Ash: “It was no problem really.” Mewtwo: “Well either way… I won't forget your act of kindness… I hope to repay the favor someday.” said Mewtwo, before he vanished without a trace, while Ash sees that his friends and Gary were looking at him. Misty: “You could understand what Pokémon are saying this whole time… and you never told me?!” Brock: “Calm down Misty, I'm sure he had a reason.” Ash: “Sorry, but I promised my mom that I keep my ability a secret, otherwise it could attract unwanted attention.” Gary: “Oh man… I hate to admit it, but I feel a little jealous of you right now…” Ash: “Really?” Gary: “Yeah… you not only beat the Gym leader's Pokémon, but you can understand what Pokémon are saying… that's something I couldn't do… maybe you're not such a loser after all.” Ash: “Really?, thanks, that means a lot coming from you.” Gary: “Don't get used to it, cause when we enter the Pokémon league, I'm the one who's gonna beat ya.” Ash: “We'll see about that.” said Ash, as he and Gary looked at each other with a determined smile. And so Ash has beaten the final gym leader and earned his eighth gym badge, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
Showdown at the Poké corral.
After earning his eighth gym badge, Ash and his friends arrived to Pallet town, in hopes to talk to Professor Oak about the upcoming Pokémon league. But first, our heroes pay a little visit to Ash's mother, who was very happy to see her son again. Delia: “Ash, my baby!, how was your journey?” Ash: “It was great mom, and I managed to make some friends on the way, like Misty and Brock here for example.” Delia: “Well it's nice to meet you two, I hope you took good care of my little boy.” Ash: “Mom!” Delia: “Come on, I was only asking.” Misty: “Well it's nice to meet you too, Miss Ketchum.” Brock: “Wow, you're even more beautiful that I thought you would be.” Delia: “My, aren't you a charmer.” Brock: “Well I have to be, in hopes to get a lady.” Misty: “If you don't flirt with every girl you meet, that is.” Ash: “So mom, is Professor Oak at his lab?” Delia: “Yes, he should be there waiting for your arrival.” and so with that, Ash and the others went to Professor Oak's lab, where they meet the old professor himself, who was also with his grandson. Gary: “Late as always, some things never change.” Ash: “Gary?, you're here too?” Gary: “What, is it wrong to visit my grandpa?” Ash: “No, not really.” Professor Oak: “Hello Ash, I see you and Gary have both come back as Pallet town's top trainers.” Gary and Ash: “Top trainer?, both of us?” Professor Oak: “That's right, although there were more trainers from here that started their journeys, you two were the only ones who managed to earn enough badges to compete in the Pokémon league.” Ash: “What happened to the other trainers?” Gary: “They just wimped out.” Professor Oak: “May I check both of your Pokédex?” Ash: “Sure.” so with that, Professor Oak scanned both of the Pokédex devices of Ash and Gary, and he was impressed. Professor Oak: “According to your Pokédex devices, Gary has seen 50 different kinds of Pokémon, and Ash has seen over 100, however, Gary caught way more Pokémon than Ash did.” Gary: “Well you might have seen more kinds than I did, but it won't mean much if you didn't caught them.” Brock: “It doesn't really matter how many Pokémon a trainer has as long as they've been taken good care of.” Misty: “Yeah, Pokémon are more than just creatures to catch.” Professor Oak: “How correct you are, they're all very special and they need special care as well.” Pikachu: [Yeah, and some don't like being inside a Pokéball, like me.] Ash: “Yeah, that's true little buddy.” Gary: “Huh… oh right, I almost forgot that Ash can understand Pokémon speech.” Professor Oak: “When did you learn that boy's secret?” Gary: “Wait… you mean you knew about it?!” Professor Oak: “Yes, before you, Brock and Misty, the only ones who knew Ash's ability was his mother and I, we advised the boy to keep it a secret so he wouldn't attract unwanted attention, like people who could use him for their own gain.” Misty: “You mean like Team Rocket?” Professor Oak: “Yes, some people like them, but never mind them now, let's go see the Pokémon outside.” said Professor Oak, before he and the others went outside and checked out the Pokémon, including the ones Ash caught on his journey. Ash: “Hey everyone!” called out Ash, before his Pokémon came over to the boy, who were all happy to see him. That was when Pikachu got his tail pinched by Krabby, who still likes to use those pincers of his. Pikachu: [Will you stop doing that?!] Krabby: [What?, that's just my say of saying hello.] Pikachu: [Can't you do it in a less painful way?!] Ash: “Come on Pikachu, he didn't mean any harm, so just try to relax.” said Ash, before Krabby used his pincers on Ash's leg, causing the boy to yelp in pain while Pikachu laughed. Suddenly, Muk came up and gave his trainer a big hug, much to everyone's surprise. Muk: [Me Muk love hugs!] Ash: “Yeah… I can see that… though I feel a little sick…” said Ash as his face was starting to look purple. Misty: “He's been poisoned!” Professor Oak: “Good thing I have an antidote…” said the professor, before he gives Ash a berry that made him feel better. Ash: “Ugh… thanks Professor… I really needed that…” Professor Oak: “You need to be more careful with what types of Pokémon you catch from now on, poison types can be dangerous if you're not careful, even if they're trying to be friendly.” Ash: “Yeah… I know… but it's not Muk's fault that he has a body made of poison sludge, so I can't be mad with him.” said Ash, before he went over to the rest of his Pokémon. Suddenly, a robotic arm with a rubber glove appeared from above and got a hold on Pikachu, much to everyone's surprise. It wasn't long before they found out that the robotic arms came from the Team Rocket trio's balloon, trying to steal Pikachu again. Misty: “Not them again!” Brock: “Hold on!, your boss said Ash can have Pikachu back!” Jessie: “That was then, this is now, and now we're gonna get that Pikachu to the boss.” James: “And the same goes for the other Pokémon too.” Meowth: “That's right!” Jessie: “Arbok!, go!” James: “You too Weezing!” called out Jessie and James, before what looked like a purple cobra Pokémon and a larger version of Koffing with a smaller head on the side came to the scene, and Ash went to his Pokédex to find out more what he was facing. Pokédex: [Arbok is the evolved form of Ekans, and the patterns on it's hood is to scare it's prey.] [Weezing is the evolved form of Koffing, and it release poisonous gas that can damage the throat.] Ash: “Looks like Team Rocket's Pokémon had evolved.” Misty: “Be careful Ash, it's just like what Professor Oak said about Muk, poison types can be dangerous if you're not careful.” said Misty, before Krabby jumps into the battle and used his pincers to pinch Arbok by the tail, which was really painful for the snake. Arbok tried to bite Krabby, but his hard shell only hurt the snake's jaws. Suddenly, Krabby started to glow and evolved into a much larger version of himself known as Kingler. Brock: “Whoa!” Misty: “Krabby evolved into Kingler!” said Misty, before Ash went to his Pokédex to find out more. Pokédex: [Kingler is the evolved form of Krabby, and it has one pincer bigger than the other, and it has powerful defense to make up it's lack of speed.] Ash: “Alright Kingler, show me a good attack to send Team Rocket flying!” Kingler: [With pleasure.] said Kingler, before a powerful Hyper beam was shot out of Kingler's larger pincer, much to everyone's surprise. The attack hits the balloon, causing it to explode, and sends the Team Rocket trio flying out of the scene while Pikachu landed into his trainer's arms. Ash: “Pikachu, are you okay?” Pikachu: [I think so, thanks to Kingler here.] Kingler: [Well that's what friends and teammates are for after all.] Pikachu: [Hey uh… not to sound rude or anything, but can you try saying hello to me without using your pincers please?, it's just…] Kingler: “Don't worry, I'll only use my smaller pincer to say hello.] Pikachu: [Somehow that doesn't make me feel any better…] Ash: “Don't worry, at least we know Kingler will be a big help in the Pokémon league.” Professor Oak: “That reminds me, the Pokémon league of Kanto will start soon, so you better start training before it begins.” Ash: “Sure thing.” and so Ash has his Krabby evolved into Kingler and is getting ready to compete in the Pokémon league of Kanto. Who knows what's next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Kanto Pokémon league.
A week or two after getting the eighth gym badge, the Pokémon league of Kanto is about to begin, and Ash was really excited for it. Ash: “I can't believe that I'm finally gonna enter the Pokémon league… this is gonna be so fun…” Misty: “Just remember Ash, this your first time in a Pokémon league, don't expect you'll win it.” Ash: “Oh come on, I'm strong, and so are my Pokémon.” Brock: “Maybe Ash, but there will be a lot of trainers with strong Pokémon too.” Ash: “I know, which is why I'm excited.” said Ash, as he and his friends arrived to the area where the Pokémon league's taking place. But there was trouble, the Team Rocket were causing trouble again, and this time, they were trying to steal the torch that's supposed to start the league, because the fire is from the legendary fire bird Pokémon, Moltres. Jessie: “This torch should be give a good price.” James: “Yeah, after all, a flame from a legendary Pokémon should be worth a few big bucks.” Meowth: “That's right!” Ash: “Stop!, give back that torch!” Jessie: “Oh great, it's that twerp again!” James: “He always tend to show up when we don't want him around.” Misty: “We can say the same about you.” Brock: “Give back that torch!, the Pokémon league can't start without it!” Meowth: “Which is why we're stealing it, I'm sure people would pay us anything to get it back.” Misty: “Well that's not gonna happen!, Gyarados, go!” Brock: “You too Onix!” called out Misty and Brock, before they send out Gyarados and Onix to battle, and the sight of the giant serpent like Pokémon made the Team Rocket trio gulp in fear. James: “Uh… I think we might be in trouble…” Jessie: “You think?!” Meowth: “Uh oh…” said the trio, before Onix and Gyarados used their tails to swat the trio out into the sky and out of the scene, while Ash managed to catch the torch just in the nick of time. Ash: “Whoa… that was too close…” said Ash, before a short old man, named President Goodshow (voiced by James Carter Cathcart), came to the scene with Officer Jenny. Goodshow: “Nice catch my boy.” Ash: “Santa Claus?” Goodshow: “Ah, ha, ha!, Santa Claus?, me?… well I guess I do look a little like him.” Officer Jenny: “This is President Goodshow, president of the Pokémon leagues.” Goodshow: “But my friends call me Charlie.” Ash: “Nice to meet you sir, and nice you see you again Officer Jenny.” Goodshow: “You met her?” Ash: “Yeah, on my first visit to Viridian city.” Officer Jenny: “Actually that was my cousin.” Ash: “Your cousin?” Officer Jenny: “Yes, like Nurse Joy, I have a lot of sisters and cousins that look alike and all named Jenny.” Misty: “Wow… first Nurse Joy, and now Officer Jenny…” Ash: “At least we can remember their faces and names too…” Goodshow: “Tell me my boy, how about as thanks for saving the torch, you can run it to the league.” Ash: “Really?, that would be a real honor sir.” said Ash, before the scene changes to show Ash running the torch to where the flame should be in a big bowl on top of the side of the stadium, allowing the Pokémon league to begin. Ash learned from the Nurse Joy there that he must win 4 different battlefields before getting to the top 16, and if he beats that round, he'll go to the top 8, then the top 4, and then the runner up, and if he wins that, he would be the winner of the Pokémon league. The first of the 4 different battlefields was a water battlefield, and Ash's opponent was a magician named Mandi. The Pokémon sent out to battle first was Kingler, who managed to beat all of the other trainer's Pokémon easily. The next round was a rock field, and it was tougher than the first one, but Ash was able to pull through. The 3rd was an ice field, and just like the last one, it was tougher, but Ash was able to win. As for Gary, he was facing a trainer with a Golem while he used Nidoking. Unfortunately, Gary lost, meaning he was out of the league. It wasn't long before Ash got to Gary. Ash: “Hey Gary, sorry about your loss.” Gary: “Yeah… it was a real shame, I was hoping to battle ya… but I guess that wasn't meant to be… maybe next time…” Ash: “What will you do now?” Gary: “I'm gonna go back to Pallet to train some more, good luck in your battles.” said Gary, before he left the scene. Now that Gary was out of the league, everyone of Pallet town is rooting for Ash, who was now in the 4th battlefield, which is grass this time. Ash's opponent was a girl named Jennet, who had a powerful Bellsprout. But thanks to Muk, Ash was able to beat the Bellsprout and was able to continue to the top 16. it wasn't long before Ash learned that his next opponent was a boy named Ritchie, who has some of the same Pokémon that he has, like a Pikachu, Butterfree and a Charmander. The battle was intense, but it seems that Ritchie had the upper hand and won the battle, meaning Ash had lost the league too, much to his dismay. When the next day came, Ash was in a room, still feeling down about losing in the top 16. Pikachu: [I'm sorry Ash… for failing you… if only I was a lot stronger…] Ash: “Don't blame yourself little buddy… it was my fault for underestimating Ritchie… he was a lot tougher than I thought he'd be…” Pikachu: [No kidding, his Pokémon might have been small, but they were really strong…] Ash: “Yeah… guess we should have learned that from the battle with that Bellsprout, huh?” Pikachu: [Yeah… so what now?] Ash: “Well… we can sit with the audience and see who gets to win the league… it's better than sitting here and do nothing I guess…” said Ash, before he and Pikachu went outside and see that Misty, Brock, Delia and Professor Oak were there, waiting for him. Delia: “Ash… are you feeling okay sweetie?” Ash: “Hey mom… sorry about losing the match…” Delia: “It's okay honey, not a lot of trainers could win their first league, I learned that the hard way back when I was a trainer.” Professor Oak: “She's right, you still have a long way to go before you can win the whole league, and to become a Pokémon master as well.” Misty: “Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll go further next time.” Brock: “We'll be rooting for ya too.” Ash: “Thanks everyone… that means a lot from you.” and so after that, Ash joins the others with the audience, and saw that Ritchie lost to a female trainer with an Ivysaur, which was the evolved form of Bulbasaur, meaning that Ritchie too was out of the league. Soon, at long last, a trainer named Red, who happens to be a boy from Pallet Town like Ash, who picked out a Charmander as his starter, which is now a powerful Charizard, was able to win the league, meaning he was the new league champion and gets to challenge the Elite 4. Misty: “I don't know why… but that Red character reminds me of Ash for some reason…” Brock: “Yeah… he kind of does.” Ash: “And that Charizard of his was really strong too…” Pikachu: [And did you see his Pikachu?, he was much stronger than me, that's for sure…] Ash: “Yeah… and he was from the same town as me… he did something I failed in…” Professor Oak: “Don't worry Ash, you might not have won the league, but I doubt your journey is over… in fact I would say it's just beginning.” Ash: “Yeah… you might be right, and I will become a Pokémon master someday.” and so Ash entered the Pokémon league of Kanto, although he had lost, his journey is far from over. Who knows what's next for Ash as the journey continues in the next adventure.

The Viridian city gym battle.
It was a nice day at Viridian city, when Ash and his friends arrived there in hopes to get the last gym badge the boy needs to enter the Pokémon league of Kanto. It wasn't long before they got to the gym building, only to be surprised to see that Gary was there too. Gary: “Well if it isn't Ash the loser trainer.” Ash: “Gary?!, why are you here?” Gary: “Isn't it obvious, I came to challenge the strongest gym leader in all of Kanto, who would no doubt take you down.” Ash: “Don't be so certain, I managed to earn seven badges.” Gary: “Well I managed to earn ten of them.” Ash: “What?!” Gary: “Well there are more gyms around than just eight, of course you'll only need eight badges, but I can't have too many to prove I'm the best, now I'm going inside, smell ya later.” said Gary, before he enters the gym and the doors were closed. Ash tried to get in but the guards told him that only one challenger at a time can enter, much to Ash's dismay. Ash: “Aw man… he's beaten me again…” Pikachu: [Don't worry Ash, you can still get the badge, so what if he has more badges, you're still the best trainer I know.] Ash: “Thanks Pikachu… I guess…” so with the gym occupied at the moment, Ash and the others went to the Pokémon center to have a little check up. Meanwhile, inside the gym, Gary was able to take down all of the gym leader's Pokémon, or so he thought at first. Gary: “Ha!, some powerful gym leader you turned out to be, no Pokémon of yours is a match for me.” said Gary, before the gym leader, named Giovanni (voiced by Ted Lewis) made an evil smile on his face. Giovanni: “Really… then allow me to show you my most powerful Pokémon…” said Giovanni, before he snapped his fingers, and suddenly, an unknown kind of Pokémon, wearing some kind of armor, came to the scene, and Gary's Pokédex had no info on it. Gary: “What the?… what is that?” Giovanni: “This here is Mewtwo… the world's most powerful Pokémon… it can not be defeated…” said Giovanni with an evil smile, while Gary looked at Mewtwo with shock. Back at the Pokémon center, Ash was thinking of a good strategy against the gym leader, when the Team Rocket trio showed up and caught Pikachu in a rubber bag and making a retreat. Ash and his friends chased down the Team Rocket trio all the way to the Viridian gym building, and once they opened the doors, the group saw that the room was dark, and a light was shining on Gary, who was out cold as it seems. Meowth: “What happened to him?” James: “Looks like he decided to sleep on the ground.” Jessie: “That doesn't seem very comfortable…” it wasn't long before Gary finally woke up, seeing Ash in front of him. Ash: “Gary, what happened?” Gary: “The gym leader… had a Pokémon that the Pokédex didn't knew about… it was not only very powerful… it's evil…” Ash: “Evil…?, but there can't be an evil Pokémon…” suddenly, more lights came on, and Giovanni was seen on the other side of the battlefield. Giovanni: “Are you a new challenger?” Ash: “Yes, and you must be the gym leader…” Giovanni: “That's correct.” Meowth: “Boss?!, you're a gym leader too?!” Misty: “Did Meowth just call him… boss?” Brock: “Then that must mean… he's the boss of Team Rocket!” Ash: “But if that's true… then this gym… it belongs to Team Rocket!” Giovanni: “Yes, it's just a front to cover our real work, which should be remained secret if my agents were not such idiots with big mouths.” Meowth: “Oops… my bad…” James: “Oh boy… I think the twerp's in trouble now…” Jessie: “No kidding, the boss is very strong…” Meowth: “Yeah… and I hate to get on his bad side…” said the Team Rocket trio, while Ash tighten his fist in anger. Ash: “This can't be right… the gym leaders I met before now were different in many ways… but they all had one thing in common… and that was how much they love their Pokémon!, not a single one till now were someone that steals other trainers' Pokémon like you!, I refused to believe it!” Giovanni: “Well I don't care what you believe it or not, but what do you plan to do about it?, are you going to battle me?” Ash: “… Yes… but this isn't just another battle with a gym leader… I challenge the enemy of all Pokémon!” Giovanni: “Very well… let's see you can do better against the same Pokémon that took down your friend.” said Giovanni, before Mewtwo showed up again, and Gary was scared by the sight of it. Ash: “So that's the mystery Pokémon?” Gary: “Yeah… please Ash, don't battle!, it's far too strong!, if it was beyond me, than you don't stand a chance against it either!” Misty: “I think Gary might be right on this one… this Pokémon looks very powerful…” Brock: “And besides, we need to get Pikachu back.” Giovanni: “Tell you what, if you can beat Mewtwo, not only will I give you the Earth badge, I'll ask my agents to give back your Pikachu, sound good?” Ash: “Fine by me…” Jessie: “What?!, but boss, what if he beats you and…” Giovanni: “Are you questioning me?” Jessie: “Uh… no sir…” Giovanni: “Then do as I say.” said Giovanni, before Ash sends out his Charizard to battle. The duel between Charizard and Mewtwo was intense, and it seems that Charizard was losing, that is until the fire type damaged armored helmet of the psychic type's head. Soon, after many slashes, the armor on Mewtwo was shattered, and Mewtwo was free, before passing out to the ground as the armor was not only controlling the psychic type, but was taking a toll on it's psychic energy as well. Gary: “I don't believe it… he won…?” Team Rocket trio: “The twerp won?!” Misty and Brock: “Ash won!” Pikachu: [Alright Ash!, I knew you and Charizard could do it!] shouted Pikachu in joy, before Ash went over to Charizard and put him back into his Pokéball, and then looked at the gym leader. Ash: “Alright, I won the battle, now hand over Pikachu.” Giovanni: “You only won through luck… but I am a man of my word… Jessie, hand the boy back his Pikachu.” Jessie: “But sir… oh yes sir…” said Jessie, as she gives Ash back Pikachu, and the duo were happy to be reunited once again. Giovanni: “And here's the Earth badge, just like I promised.” said Giovanni, before throwing the badge to Ash, who looked a bit disappointed. Misty: “What's wrong?” Ash: “It's just… this badge was given to me by the Kanto region's strongest gym leader… but it also came from the boss of Team Rocket… I don't know if I should be happy or upset…” Brock: “Yeah, it's understandable to have mix feelings of it.” said Brock, putting his hand on Ash's shoulder. Giovanni: “Agents, we're leaving.” Meowth: “Yes boss… and the gym?” Giovanni: “Well since these people know who I am… I have no choice to abandon it in ruins to hide my tracks.” said Giovanni, before he pulls out a device from his pocket, pressing a button and the whole building started to fall apart. Gary: “The building's falling apart!” Misty: “We gotta get out of here!” shouted Misty, before she and the others begin to make a run for it while Giovanni and the Team Rocket trio took a different way. Suddenly, Ash stopped, remembering about Mewtwo. Ash: “Oh no!, Mewtwo is still inside!” Gary: “Wait a minute!, you can't go back there!” Ash: “If I don't, the rubble will kill that Pokémon, I can't let that happen!” shouted Ash, before he runs back into the building and tries to carry Mewtwo. Unaware to the boy at the moment, was that Mewtwo was witnessing the young human risking his life to help him escape. Suddenly, a large piece of the ceiling was starting to fall from above Ash and Mewtwo, but before the piece could hit them however, Mewtwo used his Teleport to get himself and Ash out of the building safely. Misty: “Ash!, are you okay?” Ash: “Yeah… but how did we get out?” Brock: “Mewtwo must have used Teleport.” said Brock, before Mewtwo (voiced by Dan Green), spoke to the group. Mewtwo: “Yes… I did use Teleport… but tell me… why did you help me?” Asked Mewtwo through telepathy, which surprised everyone except Ash, as he believes he was still talking in Pokémon speak. Ash: “Why wouldn't I?, you were out cold on the ground and Giovanni left you there… I couldn't let you get hurt.” Mewtwo: “But… I'm just a clone… a tool for battle.” Ash: “You're no tool to me… but what do you mean clone?” Mewtwo: “I was a clone created by Team Rocket… from the DNA of the mythical Pokémon called Mew… designed to be the world's most powerful Pokémon… a tool for battle… nothing more…” Ash: “But that's true, clone or not, you're still a living being like me and everyone else.” this surprised Mewtwo, he wasn't expecting to hear such words from a human, especially one he just met. Pikachu: [Trust me… Ash might be an idiot, but he knows what he's talking about this time, and his love for Pokémon is truly amazing.] Ash: “Hey!, I'm no idiot!, but yeah, I do love all kinds of Pokémon…” Mewtwo: “Wait… you can understand what Pikachu is saying?” Ash: “Yeah, I can understand all Pokémon.” All: “What?!” said everyone with a gasp, causing Ash to cover his mouth as he realized that he just revealed a big secret of his to them. Ash: “Uh… oops… that was meant to be a secret…” Mewtwo: “I see… well I owe you my life… thank you…” Ash: “It was no problem really.” Mewtwo: “Well either way… I won't forget your act of kindness… I hope to repay the favor someday.” said Mewtwo, before he vanished without a trace, while Ash sees that his friends and Gary were looking at him. Misty: “You could understand what Pokémon are saying this whole time… and you never told me?!” Brock: “Calm down Misty, I'm sure he had a reason.” Ash: “Sorry, but I promised my mom that I keep my ability a secret, otherwise it could attract unwanted attention.” Gary: “Oh man… I hate to admit it, but I feel a little jealous of you right now…” Ash: “Really?” Gary: “Yeah… you not only beat the Gym leader's Pokémon, but you can understand what Pokémon are saying… that's something I couldn't do… maybe you're not such a loser after all.” Ash: “Really?, thanks, that means a lot coming from you.” Gary: “Don't get used to it, cause when we enter the Pokémon league, I'm the one who's gonna beat ya.” Ash: “We'll see about that.” said Ash, as he and Gary looked at each other with a determined smile. And so Ash has beaten the final gym leader and earned his eighth gym badge, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
Showdown at the Poké corral.
After earning his eighth gym badge, Ash and his friends arrived to Pallet town, in hopes to talk to Professor Oak about the upcoming Pokémon league. But first, our heroes pay a little visit to Ash's mother, who was very happy to see her son again. Delia: “Ash, my baby!, how was your journey?” Ash: “It was great mom, and I managed to make some friends on the way, like Misty and Brock here for example.” Delia: “Well it's nice to meet you two, I hope you took good care of my little boy.” Ash: “Mom!” Delia: “Come on, I was only asking.” Misty: “Well it's nice to meet you too, Miss Ketchum.” Brock: “Wow, you're even more beautiful that I thought you would be.” Delia: “My, aren't you a charmer.” Brock: “Well I have to be, in hopes to get a lady.” Misty: “If you don't flirt with every girl you meet, that is.” Ash: “So mom, is Professor Oak at his lab?” Delia: “Yes, he should be there waiting for your arrival.” and so with that, Ash and the others went to Professor Oak's lab, where they meet the old professor himself, who was also with his grandson. Gary: “Late as always, some things never change.” Ash: “Gary?, you're here too?” Gary: “What, is it wrong to visit my grandpa?” Ash: “No, not really.” Professor Oak: “Hello Ash, I see you and Gary have both come back as Pallet town's top trainers.” Gary and Ash: “Top trainer?, both of us?” Professor Oak: “That's right, although there were more trainers from here that started their journeys, you two were the only ones who managed to earn enough badges to compete in the Pokémon league.” Ash: “What happened to the other trainers?” Gary: “They just wimped out.” Professor Oak: “May I check both of your Pokédex?” Ash: “Sure.” so with that, Professor Oak scanned both of the Pokédex devices of Ash and Gary, and he was impressed. Professor Oak: “According to your Pokédex devices, Gary has seen 50 different kinds of Pokémon, and Ash has seen over 100, however, Gary caught way more Pokémon than Ash did.” Gary: “Well you might have seen more kinds than I did, but it won't mean much if you didn't caught them.” Brock: “It doesn't really matter how many Pokémon a trainer has as long as they've been taken good care of.” Misty: “Yeah, Pokémon are more than just creatures to catch.” Professor Oak: “How correct you are, they're all very special and they need special care as well.” Pikachu: [Yeah, and some don't like being inside a Pokéball, like me.] Ash: “Yeah, that's true little buddy.” Gary: “Huh… oh right, I almost forgot that Ash can understand Pokémon speech.” Professor Oak: “When did you learn that boy's secret?” Gary: “Wait… you mean you knew about it?!” Professor Oak: “Yes, before you, Brock and Misty, the only ones who knew Ash's ability was his mother and I, we advised the boy to keep it a secret so he wouldn't attract unwanted attention, like people who could use him for their own gain.” Misty: “You mean like Team Rocket?” Professor Oak: “Yes, some people like them, but never mind them now, let's go see the Pokémon outside.” said Professor Oak, before he and the others went outside and checked out the Pokémon, including the ones Ash caught on his journey. Ash: “Hey everyone!” called out Ash, before his Pokémon came over to the boy, who were all happy to see him. That was when Pikachu got his tail pinched by Krabby, who still likes to use those pincers of his. Pikachu: [Will you stop doing that?!] Krabby: [What?, that's just my say of saying hello.] Pikachu: [Can't you do it in a less painful way?!] Ash: “Come on Pikachu, he didn't mean any harm, so just try to relax.” said Ash, before Krabby used his pincers on Ash's leg, causing the boy to yelp in pain while Pikachu laughed. Suddenly, Muk came up and gave his trainer a big hug, much to everyone's surprise. Muk: [Me Muk love hugs!] Ash: “Yeah… I can see that… though I feel a little sick…” said Ash as his face was starting to look purple. Misty: “He's been poisoned!” Professor Oak: “Good thing I have an antidote…” said the professor, before he gives Ash a berry that made him feel better. Ash: “Ugh… thanks Professor… I really needed that…” Professor Oak: “You need to be more careful with what types of Pokémon you catch from now on, poison types can be dangerous if you're not careful, even if they're trying to be friendly.” Ash: “Yeah… I know… but it's not Muk's fault that he has a body made of poison sludge, so I can't be mad with him.” said Ash, before he went over to the rest of his Pokémon. Suddenly, a robotic arm with a rubber glove appeared from above and got a hold on Pikachu, much to everyone's surprise. It wasn't long before they found out that the robotic arms came from the Team Rocket trio's balloon, trying to steal Pikachu again. Misty: “Not them again!” Brock: “Hold on!, your boss said Ash can have Pikachu back!” Jessie: “That was then, this is now, and now we're gonna get that Pikachu to the boss.” James: “And the same goes for the other Pokémon too.” Meowth: “That's right!” Jessie: “Arbok!, go!” James: “You too Weezing!” called out Jessie and James, before what looked like a purple cobra Pokémon and a larger version of Koffing with a smaller head on the side came to the scene, and Ash went to his Pokédex to find out more what he was facing. Pokédex: [Arbok is the evolved form of Ekans, and the patterns on it's hood is to scare it's prey.] [Weezing is the evolved form of Koffing, and it release poisonous gas that can damage the throat.] Ash: “Looks like Team Rocket's Pokémon had evolved.” Misty: “Be careful Ash, it's just like what Professor Oak said about Muk, poison types can be dangerous if you're not careful.” said Misty, before Krabby jumps into the battle and used his pincers to pinch Arbok by the tail, which was really painful for the snake. Arbok tried to bite Krabby, but his hard shell only hurt the snake's jaws. Suddenly, Krabby started to glow and evolved into a much larger version of himself known as Kingler. Brock: “Whoa!” Misty: “Krabby evolved into Kingler!” said Misty, before Ash went to his Pokédex to find out more. Pokédex: [Kingler is the evolved form of Krabby, and it has one pincer bigger than the other, and it has powerful defense to make up it's lack of speed.] Ash: “Alright Kingler, show me a good attack to send Team Rocket flying!” Kingler: [With pleasure.] said Kingler, before a powerful Hyper beam was shot out of Kingler's larger pincer, much to everyone's surprise. The attack hits the balloon, causing it to explode, and sends the Team Rocket trio flying out of the scene while Pikachu landed into his trainer's arms. Ash: “Pikachu, are you okay?” Pikachu: [I think so, thanks to Kingler here.] Kingler: [Well that's what friends and teammates are for after all.] Pikachu: [Hey uh… not to sound rude or anything, but can you try saying hello to me without using your pincers please?, it's just…] Kingler: “Don't worry, I'll only use my smaller pincer to say hello.] Pikachu: [Somehow that doesn't make me feel any better…] Ash: “Don't worry, at least we know Kingler will be a big help in the Pokémon league.” Professor Oak: “That reminds me, the Pokémon league of Kanto will start soon, so you better start training before it begins.” Ash: “Sure thing.” and so Ash has his Krabby evolved into Kingler and is getting ready to compete in the Pokémon league of Kanto. Who knows what's next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Kanto Pokémon league.
A week or two after getting the eighth gym badge, the Pokémon league of Kanto is about to begin, and Ash was really excited for it. Ash: “I can't believe that I'm finally gonna enter the Pokémon league… this is gonna be so fun…” Misty: “Just remember Ash, this your first time in a Pokémon league, don't expect you'll win it.” Ash: “Oh come on, I'm strong, and so are my Pokémon.” Brock: “Maybe Ash, but there will be a lot of trainers with strong Pokémon too.” Ash: “I know, which is why I'm excited.” said Ash, as he and his friends arrived to the area where the Pokémon league's taking place. But there was trouble, the Team Rocket were causing trouble again, and this time, they were trying to steal the torch that's supposed to start the league, because the fire is from the legendary fire bird Pokémon, Moltres. Jessie: “This torch should be give a good price.” James: “Yeah, after all, a flame from a legendary Pokémon should be worth a few big bucks.” Meowth: “That's right!” Ash: “Stop!, give back that torch!” Jessie: “Oh great, it's that twerp again!” James: “He always tend to show up when we don't want him around.” Misty: “We can say the same about you.” Brock: “Give back that torch!, the Pokémon league can't start without it!” Meowth: “Which is why we're stealing it, I'm sure people would pay us anything to get it back.” Misty: “Well that's not gonna happen!, Gyarados, go!” Brock: “You too Onix!” called out Misty and Brock, before they send out Gyarados and Onix to battle, and the sight of the giant serpent like Pokémon made the Team Rocket trio gulp in fear. James: “Uh… I think we might be in trouble…” Jessie: “You think?!” Meowth: “Uh oh…” said the trio, before Onix and Gyarados used their tails to swat the trio out into the sky and out of the scene, while Ash managed to catch the torch just in the nick of time. Ash: “Whoa… that was too close…” said Ash, before a short old man, named President Goodshow (voiced by James Carter Cathcart), came to the scene with Officer Jenny. Goodshow: “Nice catch my boy.” Ash: “Santa Claus?” Goodshow: “Ah, ha, ha!, Santa Claus?, me?… well I guess I do look a little like him.” Officer Jenny: “This is President Goodshow, president of the Pokémon leagues.” Goodshow: “But my friends call me Charlie.” Ash: “Nice to meet you sir, and nice you see you again Officer Jenny.” Goodshow: “You met her?” Ash: “Yeah, on my first visit to Viridian city.” Officer Jenny: “Actually that was my cousin.” Ash: “Your cousin?” Officer Jenny: “Yes, like Nurse Joy, I have a lot of sisters and cousins that look alike and all named Jenny.” Misty: “Wow… first Nurse Joy, and now Officer Jenny…” Ash: “At least we can remember their faces and names too…” Goodshow: “Tell me my boy, how about as thanks for saving the torch, you can run it to the league.” Ash: “Really?, that would be a real honor sir.” said Ash, before the scene changes to show Ash running the torch to where the flame should be in a big bowl on top of the side of the stadium, allowing the Pokémon league to begin. Ash learned from the Nurse Joy there that he must win 4 different battlefields before getting to the top 16, and if he beats that round, he'll go to the top 8, then the top 4, and then the runner up, and if he wins that, he would be the winner of the Pokémon league. The first of the 4 different battlefields was a water battlefield, and Ash's opponent was a magician named Mandi. The Pokémon sent out to battle first was Kingler, who managed to beat all of the other trainer's Pokémon easily. The next round was a rock field, and it was tougher than the first one, but Ash was able to pull through. The 3rd was an ice field, and just like the last one, it was tougher, but Ash was able to win. As for Gary, he was facing a trainer with a Golem while he used Nidoking. Unfortunately, Gary lost, meaning he was out of the league. It wasn't long before Ash got to Gary. Ash: “Hey Gary, sorry about your loss.” Gary: “Yeah… it was a real shame, I was hoping to battle ya… but I guess that wasn't meant to be… maybe next time…” Ash: “What will you do now?” Gary: “I'm gonna go back to Pallet to train some more, good luck in your battles.” said Gary, before he left the scene. Now that Gary was out of the league, everyone of Pallet town is rooting for Ash, who was now in the 4th battlefield, which is grass this time. Ash's opponent was a girl named Jennet, who had a powerful Bellsprout. But thanks to Muk, Ash was able to beat the Bellsprout and was able to continue to the top 16. it wasn't long before Ash learned that his next opponent was a boy named Ritchie, who has some of the same Pokémon that he has, like a Pikachu, Butterfree and a Charmander. The battle was intense, but it seems that Ritchie had the upper hand and won the battle, meaning Ash had lost the league too, much to his dismay. When the next day came, Ash was in a room, still feeling down about losing in the top 16. Pikachu: [I'm sorry Ash… for failing you… if only I was a lot stronger…] Ash: “Don't blame yourself little buddy… it was my fault for underestimating Ritchie… he was a lot tougher than I thought he'd be…” Pikachu: [No kidding, his Pokémon might have been small, but they were really strong…] Ash: “Yeah… guess we should have learned that from the battle with that Bellsprout, huh?” Pikachu: [Yeah… so what now?] Ash: “Well… we can sit with the audience and see who gets to win the league… it's better than sitting here and do nothing I guess…” said Ash, before he and Pikachu went outside and see that Misty, Brock, Delia and Professor Oak were there, waiting for him. Delia: “Ash… are you feeling okay sweetie?” Ash: “Hey mom… sorry about losing the match…” Delia: “It's okay honey, not a lot of trainers could win their first league, I learned that the hard way back when I was a trainer.” Professor Oak: “She's right, you still have a long way to go before you can win the whole league, and to become a Pokémon master as well.” Misty: “Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll go further next time.” Brock: “We'll be rooting for ya too.” Ash: “Thanks everyone… that means a lot from you.” and so after that, Ash joins the others with the audience, and saw that Ritchie lost to a female trainer with an Ivysaur, which was the evolved form of Bulbasaur, meaning that Ritchie too was out of the league. Soon, at long last, a trainer named Red, who happens to be a boy from Pallet Town like Ash, who picked out a Charmander as his starter, which is now a powerful Charizard, was able to win the league, meaning he was the new league champion and gets to challenge the Elite 4. Misty: “I don't know why… but that Red character reminds me of Ash for some reason…” Brock: “Yeah… he kind of does.” Ash: “And that Charizard of his was really strong too…” Pikachu: [And did you see his Pikachu?, he was much stronger than me, that's for sure…] Ash: “Yeah… and he was from the same town as me… he did something I failed in…” Professor Oak: “Don't worry Ash, you might not have won the league, but I doubt your journey is over… in fact I would say it's just beginning.” Ash: “Yeah… you might be right, and I will become a Pokémon master someday.” and so Ash entered the Pokémon league of Kanto, although he had lost, his journey is far from over. Who knows what's next for Ash as the journey continues in the next adventure.
