《The Journey Begins》Part 9: Useless Win
Advertisement
--------------------------------------------
I was healing my Pokémon at the Pokémon center when my phone rang. It was just a normal call so I wasn't able know it was.
"Hello, who's speaking?"
"Ash my boy how have you been?"
"oh Prof. Oak. I am enjoying my journey. Just today I got the cascade bagde at Cerulean city."
"that's nice. I heard from Gary yesterday he was going to Vermillion city for the thunder badge."
"really!! Well that's nice. So prof. what can I do for you?"
"oh there is nothing to do for me, but it's for you."
"and what is it" I asked with excitement.
"My friend Bill has found a few stone that you may like see. And since you are near Cerulean city why don't you pay him a visit?"
"Count on it prof I will go there for sure, send me his address"
"Good luck my boy for you journey ahead from this."
"Thanks prof. and tell mom that Laura and I miss her"
"Sure, good bye cause now I need to feed all the Pokémon"
Just then I heard Nurse joy calling.
"Trainer Ash, you Pokémon are fully healed."
I went to the counter to get my pokéball and Pikachu. We were all exhausted because of today's training. So, I didn't heal them. Pikachu was sitting on the stretcher with the ball smiling.
"How do you feel buddy"
'As good as new' he said and jumped on my shoulder.
"Come, everyone is waiting for us to eat breakfast"
We went to see Laura, brock and misty having their breakfast.
"morning ash what took you so long?" Laura asked.
"Profesor Oak called while I was there."
"And what did he say?"
"his colleague, Prof bill who studies about Pokémon's habbits has some thing for us."
"You mean the one who lab is near the school here in cerulean city" misty asked.
"Yes he has some stones he said." I reaplied. "Prof is going to send his address on the phone, then we'll go, I mean if it's okay with you"
"Sure I am in" said brock. "Knowing about a Pokémon's habit would be essential for me"
"we aren't gonna stay there, alright"
"yes, but I can ask for some copy of papers"
"well that you can"
"I know how to get till the school"
"Alright so lets leave in an hour, till then I'll eat"
After our breakfast was finished, we headed to Prof. bill with misty guiding us. We went past the nugget bridge which I have no idea why it was called that.
We were walking when we saw a board with 'AJ's gym' written on it there was a scoreboard with '99-0' then a boy with green hair.

"Do you know what this is??" Laura asked
"well they say it's a gym"
"well I am sure that I didn't see any gym in the map, misty must know about this."
We three turned towards her,
"What me? No-no-no, I don't know anything about this"
"Look what a leader we have here, doesn't know about her home town"
"what did you say"
"I said you are an idiot who doesn't know about her home town"
"Say that again I dare you"
"Idiot, idiot misty is an idiot"
With that she started funning like lava. Her face turned red like a slugma. And just about when she was going to hit me, we both received a punch on our head each.
"Hey he started it" she began to complain.
"Ouch it hurts"
"would both stop fighting, and love" Laura turned towards me "NO ONE HITS SOMEONE TO THAT PERSON LAUGH"
She said with fears to that would send shivers through darkrai's body.
"sor-sorry won't happen again, just don't get angry" 'god, she maybe horror than a mimikyu'
"hey what's that rukus all about"
We saw a boy nearly my age was there. Standing inside that gym I guess.
"Are you my next victim?"
"well we were just wondering what exactly is this place?"
Ït's gym as you can see"
"yeah we can see that it's written there as 'AJ's Gym' but it's not an official one is it"I asked.
"No this isn't an official gym. I made this up so I can train for Pokémon league."
"So, you are entering the league too?" Laura asked.
"I am going to participate in the league but for That I have decided a goal before I get on my journey"
"what goal is it?" asked misty.
"To make sure I am prepared for all the challenges that will come my way, I decided that I will go on my journey if I have to win 100 battles straight."
"wow, now that's a though one goal to put yourself in, you don't know when a trainer greater than you will come and defeat you"
"that's a risky one"
"I know, when I started I had to start over three times after I got 75 wins"
"those are too much by looking statistics of trainers passing over the cerulean city. There would be only few of them who will come this way."
"Now enough introduction, and give me the answer of my question. Are you my next victim?"
"You are a hasty one. When we finish with this; you are going to need to start over again."
"Overconfident just like others. Others don't look good enough either. Weaklings."
"that's it boy. You just crossed the line, you can say anything to me but not my friends or anyone special to me." I took out my pokéball. "you got battle field or we are going to start it here."

"You are quite eager to lose. Come in let's settle this."
He guided us to battle field. I stood at one side while he stood at other.
----- 3 PoV -----
One the side we see that Laura has a concerned look one her face. Misty noticed that.
"Why are you so concerned Laura? Don't you belive in Ash."
"it isn't the Ash I am concerned about. It's the opponent Pokémon."
"is ash that Strong. Sending staryu in water was a mistake I made."
"no stronger than he looks." Laura replied.
"he took me down just with his Pikachu." Brock said.
"really?? But you are a rock type gym leader. It shouldn't have any effect."
"That's what I want to tell you. He took me down even though he had massive disadvantage."
"and he had just chaught it in the Viridian forest. Two days before the battle."
"That's IMPOSSIBLE!!"
"He hardly had time to trin him and he humiliated my geodude."
"that's why I am concerned. Ash doesn't carry impossible in his dictionary."
"but AJ must be though that he managed to have 99 wins"
"We all have secrets. Ash and I have our own. We don't want to show the power we possess or will be in great danger."
"What do you mean by that??" asked misty.
"Time will tell you what I mean. But I'll only tell he wants to avenge his father Red Ketchum."
Misty and brock had stunned faces. They didn't know anything about this. And they wouldn't even have thought connecting Ash to Red.
"We both met when we were 7-8 years old. means nearly three years have completed since we met. By the time I met him he was already training a Magby and a Scyther. You know the Scizor which defeated you."
By this time both trainers had taken their positions. And were ready for battle.
"Go sandshrew"
"Pikachu, I choose you"
Both Pokémon who were out of pokéball jumped on their trainer's side.
"This sandshrew is dead." Said misty.
"I won't say that. Judging by his appearance he is healthy and strong one."
"but he won't stand a chance either."
--------On the battle field----------
"Sandshrew use dig."
"So predictable." Ash said with a grin.
'huh how can he be so relaxed, he is just rookie as the looks of it.' AJ thought.
Then ground under Pikachu started to shake indicating that sandshrew was going to come out.
"step aside a fling him in the air."
Pikachu moved aside just as sandshrew was about to come out. Then he caught his arm and threw sandshrew in the air.
"What!!" it took a second For AJ to realise what was actually happening.
"Alright well take that to our adventage. Body slam." He said. The Pokémon got control of himself. And used falling momentum to increase the impact.
"You are allowing me to hit him??" Ash asked. "Very well I'll ad some more speed to let him hit the ground. Iron tail."
The mouse Pokémon jumped at the height of opponent. Concentrating steel energy in its tail. It hit him hard on the back as the. The impact was unexpected and powerful giving the poor sandshrew no time to brace it self as it hit the ground.
The powerfull impact was showing it's effects in the form of scretches on the hard shell of the Pokémon. Despite that the Pokémon was well trained. It stood up again as it showed no signs of losing easily.
"You have one thought sandshrew I give you that. He is well trained and also well cared. But we still need to go a long way I don't have the time. So let's complete this match already."
"You are also many of the strong opponents I have faced."
Pikachu and sandshrew again went into the battle stance.
"Use roll-out" AJ commanded. The groud type curled into ball as he started rolling at high speed towards Pikachu.
"thunder bolt to destroy it's path." The Pokémon surrounded with electric aura and sent it destroying the battle field.
Sudden disturbance in the path made the rolling Pokémon lose it's balance.
"Now let's finish this with thunder bolt."
-------
"Why use thunder bolt??"
"because it's already exhausted"
------
Electric rat Pokémon sent another wave of electricity. Having a critical hit and paralyzing the opponent Pokémon. Soon the poor sandshrew gave up because of exhaustion.
"That was quite battle I had with you." Ash said while coming at the center of the battle field.
His faithful electric type jumped on his shoulder. He extended his arm for a hand shake.
"it can't be. I just can't lose this. And not against an electric type Pokémon who had disadvantage." AJ mumbled. "You, you drugged your Pokémon. There is no way I can lose after so much of training."
Now Ash had it. First overconfidence, then lack off respect for others, now no sportsmanship at all.
"Now you are really pissing me off idiot! You lost accept it like a sports man and work on your weaknesses." He walked of the field with hot head. The gang walked out.
"Why can't someone just be nice trainer?" Ash mumbled to himself. Laura gave him a peck on his lips while walking out. That removed all the anger in his head. "Since when did my goofy idiot become short tempered huh??" she asked. "Sorry there are just sooo many things going on that frustrate me. I try and keep my cool" he replied.
Then they started heading towards Bills lab..........
