The thief girl " Leaf Green " was watching Austin's group through a pair of binoculars as she frowned.

She didn't know how she would get her money back right now because she saw how many Pokemon they had, and one of them was a former Gym Leader much to her displeasure.

Plus she was a little hesitant when she saw the Pidgeotto out and remembered how he had a Fearow from the Nugget Bridge.

Let's just say she wasn't a fan of Flying Types.

And she wasn't going to risk using Jiggly yet without knowing if it'll work or not.

"Maybe I can use Ditty to disguise myself." The girl muttered as she continued watching.

Later that evening, Austin was by himself as he had Pikachu, Rattata, Pidgeotto and Butterfree out. "Alright I'm going to let Scyther out, I'm not sure how he'll take being captured so be prepared for anything" He warned.

He could see the determined looks of his Pokemon, even Rattata was a lot friendlier to Austin due to how he's been battling with her against fewer bugs these days.

Giving a nod, Austin pressed the button as Scyther came out of his Pokeball.

Looking healed, Scyther glanced around warily before seeing the trainer who caught him and brandished his scythes threateningly before seeing the four Pokemon who was nearby, looking ready to attack him.

"They'll only attack if you try to hurt me," Austin warned the Scyther who was glaring at Pikachu, recognizing the mouse from their battle. "I don't want it to come to that,"

Turning his glare from Pikachu, Scyther gave Austin a look of disbelief. "Ther, Sky!" Scyther cried out.

"Look, I just want us to get along alright?" Austin asked while giving a friendly grin.

Scyther rolled his eyes and looked away.

' I don't think this is working." Austin thought with a frow.

Austin sighed. "Well I won't force you to like us, but can you at least give us a chance?" Austin asked taking a step forward causing Scyther to growl as he brandished his blades before stopping at seeing the other Pokemon tense up. "It's alright."

'No, it's not.' Austin thought as he was trying not to pale at seeing the blade arms.

He can't believe he's attempting this.

Austin walked forward until he was right in front of Scyther despite Pikachu giving a worrying call.

"I won't have you battle unless you want to," Austin said and that caused Scyther to freeze as he gave him a look of disbelief.

They stared each other down for a few seconds before Scyther just looked away again. "Ther," Scyther muttered nodding towards his Pokeball.

"You want to go in?" Austin asked as the Mantis gave another nod. "Well alright."

Returning to the Scyther, Austin turned to see various reactions from the Pokemon as they looked at him in surprise, none of them expected him to get that close to the hostile Scyther.

' That was reckless and a complete ash thing to do .'

He's been a bit different ever since he came into this world and now he was doing some reckless things.

Could their traits of Ash be bleeding over to him?

Giving a smile to his pokemon, Austin turned to return the others only to stop and stare.

Standing across the water was a giant blue dog-like Pokemon with a purple mane and two white streamer-like tails that streamed forward.

"Suicune," Austin said in shock as it stared at them.

The team were frozen looking at the Legendary in a mixture of awe and nervousness.

It felt like forever as they stared at Suicune before it walked forward across the water, coming to a stop right in front of Austin.

From how it looked, Austin knew… Suicune knew that he didn't belong in this world.

Before he could voice anything Austin saw that Suicune had something in his mouth he dropped it before crying as he raced off.

They all watched Suicune's retreating form.

Looking down, Austin's eyes widened at what he saw.

It was a rainbow feather.

The Thief was looking in pure shock at what she just witnessed.

She was about to confront him before it happened.

She just saw a Legendary from the Johto Region approach the guy who stole her money like it was nothing.

Luckily she got a few pics of it, something that would earn a lot of money from the right people.

But now she was staring at the boy curiously as he returned his Pokemon and the Pikachu jumped on his shoulder.

Who was he?

Why did a Legendary just approach him like that when most trainers go their entire lives without seeing one?

The next three days passed by quickly as Austin was outside of the Cerulean Gym.

"I hope we got enough training," Austin muttered out loud as he remembered how strong Brock was compared to the Anime.

If that was different, how strong was Misty?

"I'm sure you'll do fine Ash," Brock said with a smile. "You've done more preparation than many trainers do for a Gym Battle."

"Yeah and you won the first Gym with Type Disadvantages, you'll win with Pikachu." Yellow piped up looking happy at the chance of seeing another Gym Battle.

"For all, we know the Gym Leader has a strategy to counter advantages." Austin pointed out, knowing that Misty most likely prepared for the Electric Impact and Counter-Shield.

"Chu. Pika Pi!" Pikachu had a determined look as he clenched a paw, a little excited about his first Gym Battle.

Giving a grin, Austin entered to see Misty waiting.

"Finally you showed up, I was beginning to think you wouldn't," Misty said with a smirk.
