Pallet Town/In a house... (10:13 a.m.)
A 5'3, thirteen-year old teenager named Ash was getting ready for his first-ever Pokemon adventure, after wasting three years on reading a giant Pokemon glossary, in which it had displayed a lot of Pokemon content. He didn't buy the one-thousand Yen Pokemon glossary; his mother, Delia Ketchum, had bought it for him, after he had begged so hard to get one. However, the reason she had agreed to buy one for him was because of his bad behavior. Over the years as a single mother, Delia had went through hell, constantly getting verbally and physically abused by Ash. And to add more insult to injury, Delia was harshly criticized for not raising Ash the right way and not having a man around. Ash's biological father was last seen in Pallet Town years ago, but even if he was around, things would still be the same.
Ash wasn't a generic bad child; he was unpredictable, savage, very wild, and satanic. He even had put his rival, Gary Oak, in a coma three years ago, although police and detectives couldn't find any evidence to prove it. The major reason for his big adventure was to become the best Pokemon trainer in tthe whole wide world. That reason sounded cliche, but for a person like Ash, it made a lot of sense.
Ash's attire? Blue pants, a black shirt, blue and purple gloves that featured two red-eyed Hydreigons, a dark blue hat that featured a scary-looking Mega Charizard Y, and black boots. Ash had wanted to look this way, to intimidate others, especially younger and smaller kids, and look badass. But even without the attire, some adults in Pallet Town were afraid of him.
Done. Ash was 100% ready for his adventure.
Downstairs, Ash yelled, "Smell ya later, skank!", at his mother, who was watch a soap opera, her favorite.
Delia responded, "Never come back, you little demon!".
"Ah, shut up and worry about your crappy soap opera you love, biatch!" Ash cursed at his own mother, giving her the finger, leaving. But Ash cursing at Delia wasn't new, obviously.
Ash headed straight to Pallet Town's only Pokemon lab, owned by Professor Oak, a beloved person, grandfather of Gary. Today wasn't just the beginning of Ash's long journey, but it was free Pokemon day as well. When Ash got in, the assistants immediately moved away from Ash, not wanting to deal with him again, after being victims of the little devil for months.
"WHERE THE HELL IS MY POKEMON!?" Ash scared the hell out of the Professor Oak, stopping him from doing mandatory paperwork.
"I-I-I-I-It's in h-h-here...!" Professor Oak stuttered, grabbed the last pokeball from his desk drawer.
Ash snatched the pokeball off the intimidated Professor's hand, then he released Charmander.
"Alright, a Charmander! Thanks for making me happy, ya old geezer!" Ash said.
"N-N-N-No problem, Ash..." Professor Oak stuttered again, accidentally peeing on himself, feeling super embarrassed to do that.
"Charmander, you, me, and other Pokemon are gonna rock the Pokemon world, starting now!" Ash said.
The Charmander responded with a nod, agreeing with Ash.
After putting Charmander back inside the same pokeball, Ash raced out of the lab. When he rushed past another house, a friendly and common trainer, Leaf, shouted, "Ash, wait!", stopping his tracks, making him angry. Leaf was Ash's only friend, an early childhood friend, but she was also friends with everybody else in this small town, which made sense. She had been a novice trainer for three years, and she had a few pre-evolution Pokemon, including Bulbasaur, one of the three Kanto starters, in her party, but this year, she thought that this year would be the right year to improve.
Ash glanced at Leaf, glaring at her, asking, "What the hell do you want, Leaf!?"
"Good luck!" Leaf replied in a friendly tone.
"That's it!? Wow, what a waste of time! I'm outta here!" Ash said.
"Be sure to come back to face me in a battle! I'm gonna improve myself as a trainer, starting now!" Leaf said, watching Ash leave, waving good-bye.
Route 1...
"Alright, Charmander! It is time to start training!" Ash said, standing near tall grass, having Charmander by his side, looking at two Pidgeys and one Rattata. "NOW, SCRATCH!"
Charmander assaulted the lone Rattata with Scratch, landing a critical hit, preventing the low-Defense Pokemon from retaliating with Tackle or Tail Whip. Charmander's current moveset was Scratch and Growl. Scratch would deal forty damage, which wasn't bad, while Growl would lower the target's attack stat by one stage.
"Good Charmander! Now, take care of those pathetic Pidgeys, and watch out for their Gust attacks!" Ash commanded.
Doing as told, Charmander attacked one of the Pidgeys, but he failed to land a critical hit. The same Pidgey failed to counterattack with Gust, but the other Pidgey used his own Gust, which did not do much damage against Charmander. Charmander used Scratch on the low health Pidget, fainting it. Then, he dodged the other Pidgey Gust before beating it. Charmander suddenly spat a new move, Ember, a Same Type Attack Bonus move, a way better move than Scratch.
"Progress, baby, yeah! Use Ember until we reach the craphole that is Viridian City!" Ash said.
Viridian City... (11:01 a.m.)
Viridian City was way bigger than Pallet Town, but it was the home of a common and infamous gang called Team Rocket, and its crime rate was obviously higher than anywhere else around Kanto, although Team Rocket was all over the region. But Ash wasn't afraid of them. It had taken Ash and Charmander quite a while to get here, due to the heavy amount of training they had done, but outside of Ember, Charmander had access to Smokescreen, an accuracy-reducing move, one stage. That could be useful later on, to help new partner gain experience the easy way.
In a Pokemon Center, Ash went straight to a Nurse Joy, who was standing behind the counter, slammed the pokeball on the counter, and then screamed, "Heal my Pokemon, damn it!", causing a scene, being very rude to her, getting noticed by others.
"Watch your language, little boy!" the Nurse Joy didn't like that tone from Ash.
"You're a Nurse, not a lazy ass! Now, do your job!" Ash yelled.
The Nurse Joy sighed, grabbing the pokeball. "Kids these days..."
Southern Route 2... (12:33 p.m.)
"Wait, is that a Trapinch!?" Ash was surprised to see one in the large patch of grass. Trapinchs were very rare in this Route. "You're joining my team!"
With that said, Ash threw an Ultra Ball, one of the five Ultra Balls he had stolen from tourists last year, towards the Trapinch, and the Trapinch went inside. Several seconds later, Ash successfully caught the Trapinch. His current moves were Sand Attack, Bite, Feint Attack, and Bide; the former three moves were useful, while the latter was useless. Trapinch had low HP, Speed, and Defense, but his 100 Attack stat was a scary number, especially this early in Ash's journey, and he had one of the best abilities ever, Arena Trap, which could prevent non-Flying and Levitate Pokemon from escaping or being switched out.
Viridian Forest... (1:11 p.m.)
"Yes, yes, yes! Great combination!" Ash was proud of Charmander, who was getting close to evolution, and Trapinch; Ash had ordered the two to do combinations of Smokescreen + Bulldoze and Smokescreen + Rock Slide against lots of Beedrills, Butterfrees, Caterpies, Weedles, Kakunas, Metapods, Pidgeys, and Pidgeottos. Speaking of Bulldoze and Rock Slide, the two useful moves were Trapinchs current moves, with Bite still being on the moveset. His fourth move was Mud-Slap, a damaging version of Smokescreen.
After a bit more training, Charmander unleased a new move, Dragon Rage, and Ash said, ignore Growl, causing Charmander to forget about it permanently. Dragon Rage would deal 40 damage, ignoring critical hits and resistance damage against Steel-types. Overall, it's decent at the point. Anyway, Charmander began to glow, and Ash got excited, knowing what would happen next. As predicted, Charmander evolved into Charmeleon. Not counting his low Attack, Charmeleon's other stats were higher than Trapinch's.
"Now, we can leave while training!" Ash said.
Northern Route 2... (1:39 p.m.)
"The hell are you, dude? And why aren't you opening your eyes? Are you blind?" Ash asked Flint, who was wandering around.
"I'm not blind, young man," Flint replied.
"Okay..." Ash said, giving Flint a weird look.
"Are you a trainer?" Flint asked.
"Duh!" Ash replied.
"Are you ready for a big challenge, the Gym Leader?" Flint asked.
"Whoever they are, I'll kick their asses and get their badge, so yes!" Ash replied.
"Who taught you how to talk like that, young man?" Flint asked.
"Just shut up and take me to the Gym! I ain't got all day!" Ash continued to act like an ass towards Flint again.
"Okay, then..." that's all Flint could say.
Pewter City/The Gym...
"My son, a challenger is here!" Flint said as he and Ash entered inside the Gym.
"You, too!?" Ash couldn't believe this.
"I am Brock, the Gy- Oh, wait! Suzie had said that she'd come over today! This is the perfect opportunity to impress her!" Brock and Suzie had been friends for a few years. Yesterday, Brock and Suzie had bumped into each other at a local mart and talked a bit, including her promise to be here today; Suzie had forgotten to mention her special someone to Brock that day.
"Whoever this Suzie chick is, she's gonna be disappointed! Also, I bet she's ugly!" Ash said.
"I won't disappoint her, and she's not ugly! She's the prettiest woman to ever walk on earth!" Brock said.
"Son, I don't mean to run my nose into your business, but why on earth are you trying to impress her? Haven't you forgotten that day?" Flint asked.
Brock was about to reply, but Suzie came inside the Gym, distracting Ash and the two relatives. Suzie said, "I'm here, Brock, but I've brought someone with me.", then Zane came in, much to Brock's shock. "You remember Zane, right?".
"What's up, Brock? It's been a while," Zane was happy to see Brock.
"Hi," Brock said disappointedly, not wanting Zane to be here. Brock didn't want to act mean by throwing Zane out of the Gym, but still.
"Hehehe. I like where this is going. Let's get start, shall we?" Ash said.
In the battlefield, Brock and Ash released their Pokemon, Geodude and Trapinch, respectively. Geodude had Tackle, Defense Curl, Rock Polish, and Rollout, a not-so-good moveset, but his Sturdy ability, wouldn't let any move knock him out in one hit.High Defense and average Attack. Other stats? Low.
Defense Curl raised Geodude's Defense once, Trapinch's Bulldoze. Geodude Speed? Dropped. Geodude went for Defense Curl again, but after that, Bulldoze, again. Due to having low health, Geodude ate his Sitrus Berry item, recovering thirty health points. Now, Brock commanded Tackle. But it missed! Trapinch's Bulldoze didn't, knocking Geodude out.
"Oh, man!" Brock said.
"Take that, loser!" Ash insulted Brock.
"C'mon, Brock, I know you can do it!" Suzie cheered for Brock to win.
"Don't give up, Brock!" Zane cheered for Brock, too, but Brock felt uncomfortable by hearing Zane.
Onix, the final Pokemon. Tremedous Defense, below-average Speed, other horrible stats. And to make things worse, his moveset, Curse, Rock Tomb, Tackle, and Bind didn't look good enough to beat Trapinch. Onix used Curse. Attack and Defense up, Speed down. Then, he got hit by a critical hit Bulldoze. Onix restored some health, via Sitrus Berry. Curse again. But another Bulldoze? Enough to defeat Onix.
"The winner is the challenger!" Flint confirmed.
"My name's Ash, doofus!" Ash said.
"Man...." Brock got upset over the loss.
"Don't worry, Brock! You'll always be a cool Gym Leader!" Suzie tried to cheer up Brock.
"Everybody leave..." Brock said differently, wanting to be alone.
"Leave?" Suzie looked confused.
"I said go!" Brock said with much force, causing Suzie and Zane to gasp.
"Mad because Suzie's with Zane!? Ahahahahahahaha! You're such a loser, Brock!" Ash taunted Brock.
"It's not that, kid!" Brock lied.
"Sure. Sure," Ash didn't believe Brock.
"Brock..." Suzie didn't know what else to say.
"You heard him, slut! Go!" Ash said.
"Hey, that's my girl you're talking to! Show some respect!" Zane yelled.
"Show this!" Ash said, kicking Zane straight in the balls, making him cry in pain. "Did that hurt!?" Ash teased Zane, who was on the ground.
"You brat!" Suzie yelled.
"Oh, shut up. You ain't gonna do nothin'," Ash said.
"Here, Ash," Flint said, giving Ash a Boulderbadge, Ash's first ever badge.
"One down, seven to go!" Ash said, storing the badge inside his badge collection.
"Good luck the rest of the way!" Flint said as Ash and Trapinch left the Gym.
Mt. Moon... (3:04 p.m.)
"Friggin' Zubats! They're all over the place!" Ash was running, not wanting to deal with the flock of Zubats. There were other Pokemon in Mt. Moon, but Ash wasn't interested in them.
Route 24... (6:03 p.m.)
Below Route 24 was Cerulean City. It wasn't bigger than Pewter City. Ash had decided to face Cerulean's Gym Leader tomorrow instead of today. During Ash's time in Cerulean City, he had used his Charmeleon to rob two elderly women, so that he could eat dinner at a restaurant. Ash robbing people wasn't new.
There was plenty of useful Pokemon here, Pokemon that could handle the Gym Leader's Pokemon. Ash chose a rare and happy Budew as his third Pokemon, so he captured her without a problem. Her overall stats were poor, and her moveset, Absorb, Growth, Water Sport, and Stun Spore, wasn't the best, but Stun Spore was the most interesting one.
Now, Ash let three of his Pokemon train. 8:00 p.m. was Ash's mandatory time to go to bed, but he had enough time to train his Pokemon. Bellsprout, Abra, Weepinbell, Venonat, Sunkern, Oddish, Venomoth, and other Budews were targeted Pokemon to gain experience, with Venomoth being the strongest one. Charmeleon was the only one on the team to knock out the Abras because an Abra could use Teleport, their only move, to escape. Outside of Budew, a Grass-type, Bellsprout, Weepinbell, and Oddish were other Grass-types that could be useful against the Gym Leader's Pokemon, but Ash wasn't interested in them to begin with.
Because of the current time, Ash was unable to evolve Budew until tomorrow, which wasn't a big deal to him.
The next day... (10:03 a.m.)
Ash resumed training his Pokemon at Route 24, after eating buying and eating breakfast at the same restaurant. Yesterday, minutes before Ash had went to sleep, Budew had learned one new move, Mega Drain, a move that could damage the target while healing the user, something that needed to be used in Ash's upcoming battle. Charmeleon's moveset was still the same; he was told to ignore learning Scary Face, a borderline useless move that could drop the target's Speed by two stages. Trapinch's two new moves were Dig and Crunch, replacing Bulldoze and Sand Tomb.
Moments later, Budew grew happier than before, getting ready to evolve. After Budew and Charmeleon fainted two Venomoths, Budew finally evolved into Roselia, a beauty. Her 100 Special Attack was the opposite of Trapinch's Attack, but her Special Defense stat, 80, was average, and the rest of her stats were low and awful. However, a 100 Special Attack was enough for the upcoming battle.
Cerulean's Gym... (11:07 a.m.)
"Is anyone here!?" Ash asked.
The Gym was like a generic Aquatic Facility, with a giant swimming pool being in the middle and aquarium tanks in other sections. The Gym Leader herself wasn't currently with her job, due to her older siblings mistreating her.
"Here I am!" Misty, the Gym Leader, showed herself. She was in a swimsuit.
"Ewwww! You're ugly!" Ash thought that Misty was unattractive.
"You take that back, you mean boy!" Misty yelled.
"The sound of butthurt! What's next!? Are you gonna to cry to mommy and daddy!?" Ash said.
"Stop it! You're just like my sisters!" Misty yelled again.
"Let's get our battle over with, crybaby!" Ash said.
"I'll make you cry, after I kick your butt!" Misty shouted.
Ash scoffed. "You won't, ugly!" Ash said.
Near the swimming pool, Ash and Misty locked themselves into battle. Misty sent out Staryu, while Ash released Roselia. Misty ordered Stayru, who was faster than Roselia, to use Ice Beam, a move Roselia was weak to because of her Grass-typing, and Ash yelled, "MEGA DRAIN, ROSELIA!". Roselia barely dodged Ice Beam, then she defeated Stayru. Angry, Misty used Starmie as her final Pokemon. Starmie's stronger Ice Beam hit Roselia, almost beat her. Roselia counterattacked with Stun Spore, paralyzing Starmie, cutting its Speed stat, being faster.
Roselia tried Mega Drain, regaining some of her health. Starmie got fully paralyzed, a lucky break for Ash and Roselia, an unfortunate moment for Misty. However, Roselia's next Mega Drain missed, causing Misty to make an evil smile. Then, Starmie used Recover, restoring all of its health. Another Mega Drain missed, and Starmie's Ice Beam landed on Roselia, still failing to defeat the Grass-type.
"What's the matter, meanie? Are you afraid of losing?" Misty taunted Ash.
"I'll still win!" Ash responded.
Roselia's fourth Mega Drain missed, but Starmie's Ice Beam failed to hit Roselia. The fifth Mega Drain landed on Starmie, a critical hit, more health restored for Roselia. Starmie? Fully paralyzed, causing Misty to get angry. The sixth Mega Drain attempt? Battle ended. To Ash, that was a tough Gym battle, tougher than the one with Brock. Ash's Trapinch and Charmeleon were weak to Water-type, a strong disadvantage. But even if the paralyzed Starmie had defeated Roselia, Charmeleon would have a slight chance against it.
"Haha! I told you I'd win!" Ash said.
"No! You're a mean boy! Therefore, you can't have my badge!" Misty refused to accept the loss, being a sore loser.
"Give him the badge, Misty!" an older girl demanded. She and two other older girls had watched the battle in a secret room.
"NO!" Misty screamed.
"What did you just say!?" the same older girl asked as she and the other girls came out of the secret room. Her name was Daisy, the oldest sisters, while the others' name were Lily and Violet.
"I SAID NO, BITCH!" Misty replied.
Daisy responded with a slap against Misty's left cheek, angering Misty a lot more.
"Give to him, now!" Daisy demanded.
"Fine!" Misty said, giving away the badge to Ash.
"Alright!" Ash said.
"We're so sorry about our little sister's behavior! She's a complete, brain-dead geekwad that has no friends!" Lily said.
"The ugly duckling has no friends!? Well, that explains why she's a sore loser! She should go to jail or get lost forever!" Ash said.
"We like you!" Violet said.
"You are all horrible human beings!" Misty whined.
"Do any of you have a ride?" Ash asked.
"Sure, hun! I'll give it to you in a second!" Lily replied, going somewhere.
"No, Lily! Not my bike!" Misty cried.
"Oh, be quiet! Roselia! Use Stun Spore on her!" Ash said.
Roselia paralyzed Misty, then Ash shoved Misty to the pool as Lily returend with Misty's bike. Poor Misty cried for help, but Ash, Lily, Violet, and Daisy laughed at her. The paralyze effects shouldn't last long, though.
End of Chapter 1
