Pokemon Fan Fiction ❯ A Memorable Life ❯ Training Days ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Recap: Gloom, Pidgey and Sandshrew showed Ash around the island. Along the way, Ash met up with a very healty Charmander despite it having no tail flame. That was thanks to a successful experiment in Saffron City two years ago. But Ash also had a very terrifying meeting while touring the island in the form of a kidnapping Fearow. But Lugia saved the day. Not too long afterwards, Oddish and Pidgey had their first trainer battle, which resulted in a double evolution. After the battle, Ash and Pokemon returned to the area Lugia brought him. Not too long after that, Lugia had found a Locket that had fallen off Ash's neck buried somewhat in the sand not too far away that had Ash's name on the back of the picture inside.

&n bsp; Chapter 3: Training Days

Two hours have now passed. Ash, Gloom, Pidgeotto, Charmander, Sandshrew and Lapras were all wide-awake now. Lugia had told htem about finding the locket. Ash was happy upon learing what his name was. The other Pokemon were happy as well. Now they could start calling him by name when they wanted.

"So when do Sandshrew and I begin training?" Charmander asked.

"We can do it right now if you two are up to it," Ash responded.

"Sandshrew (I'm ready)," Sandshrew added.

"I am too," Charmander added.

"All right then. Take your places and we'll get started," Ash said.

Charmander and Sandshrew got to about ten feet apart from each other. Gloom and Pidgeotto got aboard Lugia's back and Lugia flew up a little before landing beside Lapras on the ocean.

"Okay Sandshrew, Charmander, we're going to do things a little different. Charmander, you can call your own shots. I'll direct Sandshrew," Ash said.

"All right," Charmander said.

"You ready Sandshrew?" Ash asked.

"Sand (Yep)," Sandshrew responded nodding.

"Let's get started," Ash said.

Charmander launched a Psybeam right for Sandshrew.

"Dig under it Sandshrew," Ash said.

Sandshrew dug into the sand. She surfaced right under Charmander. Charmander went flying but soon recovered with Teleport. She reappeared behind Sandshrew and gave it a Slash attack. Sandshrew went flying and landed hard on the ground. She was able to shake it off and get back up.

"Nice recovery Sandshrew. Now use Poison Sting!" Ash said.

Sandshrew fired dozens of poison energy needles towards Charmander. Charmander used Psychic to redirect the Poison Sting right back at Sandshrew.

"Dig straight down Sandshrew," Ash said.

Sandshrew dug, easily escaping the reflected attack. Then she surfaced where she was only to be lifted off the ground as a result of Charmander's Psychic attack. Charmander slammed Sandshrew to the ground. Sandshrew slowly got back up and narrowly dodged a Flamethrower attack.

"Try a Sand-Attack!" Ash said.

Sandshrew kicked up some sand. Charmander tried to burn it away with an Ember attack, but the sand made it through. Charmander was now temporarily blinded.

"Now use your Slash Sandshrew," Ash said.

Sandshrew ran up to Charmander and slashed her across her midsection. Charmander went flying, landing a couple of feet in the ocean, which also washed the sand out of her eyes. Seconds later, Charmander levitated out of the ocean and took her place again.

"You're pretty amazing Charmander," Ash said.

"Thanks," Charmander said before focusing on battling again. She then fired off a Dragonbreath attack.

"Dodge right Sandshrew," Ash said.

Sandshrew complied. Charmander fired Dragonbreath again, only to have the same result. Then Charmander fired a Dragon Rage attack.

"Wait for it Sandshrew. I have an idea," Ash said.

Sandshrew nodded. Charmander's attack continued towards Sandshrew. It was soon about a foot away from Sandshrew when...

"Use Dig now!" Ash said.

Sandshrew dug into the ground, completely evading the Dragon Rage. Unfortunately, Ash was now several yards behind Sandshrew and didn't take into account what would happen if Sandshrew avoided the attack. He was paralyzed with fear upon seeing the attack headed straight towards him.

"Ash look out!" Charmander cried.

Ash was now too scared to move. Suddenly, he felt something gently but firmly grab him by the back of his collar. He then found himself floating in the air as the Dragon Rage attack passed harmlessly underneath. Then he was gently placed on the ground. He turned around and saw Lugia standing there.

"Are you all right?" Lugia asked.

"I am now. Thank you," Ash responded.

"You have to be more aware of your position during a Pokemon battle. That way, you won' t unintentionally be in the way," Lugia said.

"I'll keep that in mind," Ash said before moving to a center position several feet away from Charmander and Sandshrew.

"Shall we continue?" Charmander asked.

"Yes," Ash responded.

Charmander then unleashed a Fire Spin attack. Sandshrew dodged to the left.

"Use Sandstorm Sandshrew," Ash said.

Sandshrew summoned up a small sandstorm. Charmander found herself blinded again.

"Now Sandshrew, finish this battle off with Dig!" Ash said.

Sandshrew dug into the ground, heading for the unsuspecting Charmander. The sandstorm was really affecting Charmander. The wind-driven sand was badly stinging her. Soon, Sandshrew came right under Charmander, sending her flying. The sandstorm died down several moments later, revealing a fainted Charmander.

"Looks like Sandshrew wins," Lugia said before using Recover on Charmander.

"Nice job Sandshrew," Ash said.

"Sandshrew (Yeah)," Sandshrew exclaimed. She did a back flip into the air. When she came down, she caused a fair-sized tremor.

"Whoa!" Ash said upon being knocked off his feet.

"Sand (Sorry)," Sandshrew said sheepishly.

"It looks like Sandshrew just learned Earthquake," Lugia said.

"What's Earthquake?" Ash asked.

"Earthquake is the most powerful ground attack that a ground-type Pokemon can learn," Charmander responded.

"Wow, good for you Sandshrew," Ash said.

"Shrew (Thanks)," Sandshrew said.

"Well let's take a break. Like we did today, we'll train twice each day on this island," Ash said as the other Pokemon nodded.

Charmander could feel that she would evolve soon. For the past year and a half, she had fought the urge to evolve down because she didn't feel quite ready at those particular times. This time, she wouldn't fight her evolution down. She was ready to accept it. ('I've fought my evolution for a while. Now will be the time to embrace it') she thought.

Things were peaceful for the rest of the day. After the sun went down, Pidgeotto and Charmander went into the forest are and brought back some fruit and nuts for everyone to eat. Lapras soon resurfaced with some fish before diving back into the water to catch and eat some fish for herself. Then everyone sat and ate the fish, fruit and nuts. A few hours afterward, everyone got settle and was soon fast asleep.

The night was a pretty peaceful now. The next morning, Ash and the other Pokemon awakened. They could barely see a thing in front of them. That was because a thick fog had rolled in overnight. Lapras surfaced and looked on in confusion. She couldn't see anyone because it was so foggy.

"Lapras lap (Are you still there)?" Lapras asked.

"It's all right Lapras. We haven't moved," Lugia responded.

"What is this stuff? I can't see my hand in front of my face," Ash said. He actually did have his hand in front of his face but couldn't see it due to the soup-like fog.

"This is fog. Trust me, it's quite normal to see fog around here. As you see, it can get pretty thick," Lugia said.

"What should we do then?" Ash asked.

"The best thing to do will be to wait until it clears. Then we'll be able to go from there," Charmander responded.

Everyone else nodded and just stayed where he/she was. About an hour later, the fog finally started to thin out. Ten minutes later, the fog had completely thinned out, revealing a crystal clear sky.

"Great, now we can bring back some food to eat," Ash said before heading off into the forest.

Charmander and Pidgeotto went with him. Several minutes later, they came back with a mound of food. Like last night, Charmander used Psychic to carry to mound of food, as it was too much for even her, Ash and Pidgeotto to carry. Soon afterwards, everyone ate the food. An hour later, Ash decided to get some training in.

"Let Sandshrew and I battle again. This time, Sandshrew can call her won shots while you direct me," Charmander responded.

"That's a pretty good idea. You up for this Sandshrew?" Ash said.

"Shrew (You betcha)," Sandshrew said with a nod.

"All right then. Get into your positions and we'll get started," Ash said.

Charmander and Sandshrew took the same positions that they did yesterday. Then Sandshrew started off with an Earthquake attack.

"Dodge it Charmander," Ash said.

Charmander levitatec herself off the ground, completely evading the attack.

"Now use Psybeam," Ash said.

Charmander fired a beam of psychic energy towards Sandshrew. Sandshrew dug into the snand to evade the Pysbeam. Then she surfaced right under Charmander. Charmander went flying for a little bit before recuperating with Teleport. She reappeared in front of Sandshrew and used Tail Whip to whack it. Sandshrew went flying for a few yards before standing back up and digging into the ground again.

"You're going to have to focus Charmander. Just before Sandshrew surfaces, use Dragonbreath," Ash said.

Charmander nodded and closed her eyes. She remained perfectly still. Several moments later, she felt the sand under her feet starting to shift. Her eyes snapped open and she fired a Dragonbreath attack at the ground, which also propelled her upwards.

"Sand (Ouch)!" Sandshrew cried upon feeling the full brunt of the Dragonbreath. She was able to recover before brewing up a fierce sandstorm.

"Here we go again," Charmander said.

"Think of this as a way of testing your instincts. You're going to have to hit Sandshrew in order to stop the sandstorm. Let your instincts guide you. Then use Flamethrower," Ash said.

"Okay," Charmander said. She closed her eyes and cleared her thoughts, sand blowing all around her.

Sandshrew came from behind. Her claws glowed, as she prepared to slash Charmander. Suddenly, Charmander did an about face and fired the Flamethrower. Sandshrew got a Flamethrower right to the face.

"Sandshrew sand (How did you know)?" Sandshrew asked as she went flying out of the sandstorm that she created, the sandstorm dying down afterwards.

"Great job Charmander," Ash said.

"Thank you," Charmander said.

"Well Sandshrew is out," Lugia suddenly said. He then placed the fainted Sandshrew on the beach before coming to shore himself. Then he used Recover on the fallen Sandshrew.

Sandshrew was good as new again. "Shrew sandshrew shrew (That was great Charmander)," she said.

"Thanks," Charmander said. "Huh?" she then asked upon feeling strange. She was soon glowing.

Ash looked on in awe as Charmander began to evolve. Several moments later, the glow had faded to reveal a Charmeleon in Charmander's place. Charmeleon was about 1'6" taller than she was a Charmander. Where her skin was orange as Charmander is now red. She had sharp blue eyes and longer claws. Also, she now had spikes lining her tail.

"You look good," Ash said.

"Thank you," Charmeleon said, her voice now a bit deeper as well.

"So what are you now?" Ash asked.

"I am Charmeleon," Charmeleon responded.

"Let's take a break now everyone. Lapras, are you up to a bit of training later?" Ash asked.

"Lap (Yes)," Lapras said nodding.

"Okay. You and Gloom will face off," Ash said.

"Gloom (Okay)," Gloom said.

But the break would have to wait. A barrage of razor sharp leaves headed right for them. Charmeleon burned through half of them with her Flamethrower attack. Pidgeotto blew some more of them away with Gust and Lapras froze the remaining leaves with Ice Beam. Then the Pokemon responsible for the attack stepped into everyone's line of vision.

It was a Venosaur. But it wasn't alone. A Poliwrath, a Furret, a Raichu and a Heracross had also shown themselves. Then the Raichu aimed a Thunderbolt at Ash. Lugia countered the attack with Aeroblast. Lugia's attack cut right through the Thunderbolt and made direct impact with Raichu, sending Raichu flying.

"Whoa, what an attack," Ash said in awe.

"Gloom (You said it)," Gloom agreed, also in awe.

Venosaur had been charging up during Raichu's attack and was now ready for a Solarbeam. Venosaur fired the Solarbeam. Charmeleon used Psychic to redirect the attack at Poliwrath. The attack made impact with Poliwrath, fainting it instantly. Heracross then came at Ash with a Mega Horn attack.

"Pidgeooo (No you don't)!" Pidgeotto said. She charged for Heracross, her wings glowing. Seconds later, she struck Heracross with her wings.

Heracross went down. Ash was shocked upon seeing what Pidgeotto just did.

"Whoa what was that?" Ash asked.

"That was Wing Attack," Lugia responded.

Heracross got back up. It then charged Charmeleon with another Mega Horn ready. Charmeleon simply froze it in place with Psychic. Then she used Fire Spin on the trapped Pokemon. She let the now fainted Heracross fall to the ground.

"That takes care of you," Charmeleon said to the fainted Heracross.

Furret had charged up for a Hyper Beam and soon let the attack fly at Ash. Charmeleon countered with Dragonbreath. The attacks quickly cancelled each other out. Before Furret could do anything more, Sandshrew surfaced right underneath it, sending it flying. It landed next to Venosaur. It quickly got back up, ready to continue the battle.

"Veno. Venosaur saur (No. We should retreat for now)," Venosaur said.

"Fur (Okay)," Furret said as Venosaur grabbed the fainted Raichu, Poliwrath and Heracross with its vines.

Then the Pokemon retreated back into the forest.

"Will they ever put their pasts behind them? This is getting ridiculous," Ash said.

"Tell us about it," Charmeleon said.

Then Ash and the others took a break. By late afternoon, Gloom and Lapras prepared to battle each other. Gloom would call her own shots while Ash directed Lapras. Lugia and Charmeleon used Psychic on some of the trees to create a floating platform for Gloom to stand on.

"Are you ready?" Ash asked from Lugia's back.

Lapras and Gloom nodded. Gloom then started with a newly learned Petal Dance attack.

"Dive underwater to avoid it!" Ash said.

Lapras dove under the waves, easily avoiding the leaves. Then she resurfaced. Gloom then released a Stun Spore.

"Use Blizzard to blow it away!" Ash said.

Lapras fired a blizzard from her mouth. The attck not only blew the Stun Spore to oblivion, but it also pelted Gloom somewhat.

"Gloom (That's cold)," Gloom said shivering a little.

The blizzard soon died. Gloom fired Razor Leaf at Lapras.

"Freeze them with Ice Beam!" Ash said.

Lapras froze the leaves solid.

"Follow up with Hydro Pump!" Ash said.

Lapras fired a powerful stream of water from her mouth. Luckily for Gloom, the platform was wide enough for her to be able to move around. She sidestepped the attack before retaliating with Petal Dance. Caught off guard, Lapras suffered a direct hit.

"Don't fret Lapras. End this match with Sing," Ash said.

Lapras then started to sing. Gloom then began to get drowsy. Soon, she was fast asleep. Everyone else was still awake. That was because Lapras learned how to focus the attack to affect only those that she wanted it to affect.

"Well compared to how most battles end, that was a pretty peaceful end," Charmeleon said.

Lugia then lowered the platform back onto the beach. Then he landed and Ash dismounted him.

"For a Pokemon who doesn't fight for the most part, you did very well Lapras," Ash said.

"Lapras (Thank you)," Lapras said.

"What do you all say to two-on-two battles tomorrow? I'll let you call your own shots," Ash said.

"That sounds fair enough," Charmeleon said as the others nodded.

"I'll stay out of it. It wouldn't be fair if I battled as well because I'm a lot stronger than all of you," Lugia said.

"Sandshrew (We understand Lugia)," Sandshrew said as the others nodded.

But then Ash had an idea. "Maybe there is a way for you to battle after all Lugia," he said.

"How?" Lugia asked.

"Because you are pretty strong, you can help the others become strong as well. Of course you're going to have to hold back on your strength and power to start. You can pace yourself on how much strength you use at what time," Ash responded.

Lugia realized that Ash had made a very valid point. "I didn't think of it that way. That's a great idea," he said as the others nodded.

Then Gloom woke up. "Gloom gloom (Did I miss anything)?" she asked.

"We're going to have a doubles match tomorrow. We'll get to battle by ourselves," Charmeleon responded.

"Gloom (Cool)," Gloom said.

Charmeleon suddenly shot a Flamethrower into the air. Everyone looked up to see Fearow diving down. Lugia fired an Aeroblast at the rapidly approaching Fearow. Fearow couldn't get out of the way in time and suffered a direct hit from the Aeroblast, fainting while still in the air. It fell to the ground hard. Lugia transported it back to the other side of the island.

"This is getting pretty old pretty fast," Charmeleon said in a very annoyed tone.

"Why don't Fearow and those other unruly Pokemon want to be friends?" Ash asked.

"I know what you mean. Sure they were unfortunate enough to have horrible trainers. But that doesn't give them the right to judge all humans the same," Lugia responded. Then he looked up.

"What is it Lugia?" Ash asked.

"Look up and you'll see," Lugia responded.

Ash and the others looked up. Ash was in awe upon what he saw. A small cat floated down towards them. She floated to and hovered in front of Ash.

"Mew (Hi)!" the Pokemon said.

"She said hi," Charmeleon said.

"Hi," Ash said, still in awe. "What is she?" he added.

"She is Mew, a legendary Pokemon," Lugia responded.

"So in a small sense, she's like you because you are a legendary Pokemon as well," Ash said.

"You can say that. Also like me, she's a Psychic Pokemon," Lugia said.

Mew was looking at Charmeleon. "Mew mew mew mew (I see that you've evolved)," she said.

"I sure have," Charmeleon said.

"It seems as though Mew knows you Charmeleon," Ash said.

"Actually, she does. She's the reason to why I'm a psychic-type Pokemon in additon to beinga fire/dragon-type Pokemon. She did her own experiment on me if you will," Charmeleon said.

"Mew (That's right)," Mew said.

"So you come to check up on Charmeleon every now and then?" Ash asked.

"Mew (Precisely)," Mew responded with a nod. "Mew mew mew mew mew mew (Your powers are developing quite nicely)," she added towards Charmeleon.

"I've never been able to truly relax with those unruly Pokemon around. If there's anything good about those Pokemon, it's the battle experience I've gotten from all the times I had to fight them," Charmeleon said.

Mew spent the rest of the day with Ash and the others. At about dusk, she disappeared from the island. Charmeleon and Sandshrew went out into the forest and came back with a decent amount of berries. Several minutes later, everyone had eaten all the berries. Several hours later, the sky began to cloud up. Soon, it began to rain.

"It looks like we'll have to find shelter for the night," Ash said.

"No need for that," Lugia said.

"Why's that?" Ash asked.

As a response, Lugia put up a barrier. "The barrier that I just put up will shield us from the rain," he responded.

"Great. Now we can sleep without having to worry about being soaked," Ash said before getting settled and falling asleep.

Soon, the others had fallen asleep as well. Lapras simply dove underwater and was soon asleep herself. The next morning, the storm had long since moved on. Everyone awakened to a crystal clear sky. Lugia removed the barrier. Lapras surfaced after eating the fish she hunted.

"Well it looks like today is going to be a much better as far as the weather," Ash said.

"Yeah," Charmeleon said.

"Let's eat first. Then you can train," Ash said.

Gloom and Charmeleon went into the forest and soon came back with fruits, vegetables and nuts. Then everyone except Lapras ate their fill. Hlaf an hour after eating, the six Pokemon divided into three pairs. The battles would go like this: Lapras vs. Lugia, Charmeleon vs. Sandshrew and Pidgeotto vs. Gloom. The winners of the Charmeleon vs. Sandshrew and Pidgeotto vs. Gloom battles would face off against each other. Then the winner of that match would face the winner of the Lapras vs. Lugia match.

"You can be the referee of our matches," Lugia said.

"What's a referee and what does a referee do?" Ash asked.

"A referee is basically a type of judge. He/She observes the battles both to make sure that the Pokemon are fighting fairly and to determine if a Pokemon can continue the battle," Lugia responded.

"Okay. I'll do my best," Ash said.

Then the battles got underway. Lugia started things off with a low-powered Psybeam towards Lapras. Lapras dodged underwater and surfaced with an Ice Beam. Lugia used Aeroblast to cancel it out. Meanwhile, Pidgeotto had gotten a good hit on Gloom with Wing Attack. Gloom was able to recover. Then she used Stun Spore. Pidgeotto got out of the Stun Spore's path with Agility.

Sandshrew had fired a Poison Sting at Charmeleon. Charmeleon sent the attack right back with Psychic. Sandshrew dug under the ground to avoid the reflected attack. She then tried to surface under Charmeleon, but Charmeleon used Psychic on the ground around her to send Sandshrew flying.

Sandshrew recovered and used Sandstorm. She had focused it so it would only be over Charmeleon and she. The wind-driven sand was really starting to affect Charmeleon. Sandshrew then used Earthquake. Although greatly affected by the sandstorm, Charmeleon was able to jump into the air, avoiding the attack. Then she concentrated hard and was able to put up a barrier over herself. The sandstorm didn't affect her now.

"Great job Charmeleon. It looks like you've learned Barrier," Ash said.

"Yep," Charmeleon said.

Meanwhile, Pidgeotto used Gust against Gloom. Gloom went flying in the wind. Then Pidgeotto used Wing Attack. The combo did the trick. Gloom fell to the ground, totally out of commission. Pidgeotto landed, waiting to face the winner of the Charmeleon vs. Sandshrew match.

"Gloom is no longer able to battle. Pidgeotto wins this match," Ash said.

Meanwhile, the Lapras vs. Lugia battle was just about over. Lugia finished the battle with Psychic.

"Lapras can no longer continue. Lugia wins," Ash said. "Not bad for having to hold back a lot of your strength," he added.

"Thank you," Lugia said.

"Sandshrew (You win)," Sandshrew said before fainting.

Charmeleon had trapped Sandshrew in a Fire Spin before finishing the deal with Dragonbreath.

"Sandshrew can no longer battle. Victory to Charmeleon," Ash said. "Pidgeotto, Charmeleon, take a ten-minute rest. Then you can duke it out," he added.

Charmeleon and Pidgeotto nodded. Lugia used Recover on Lapras. Charmeleon used Recover on Gloom. Then she did the same on Sandshrew. Lapras surfaced above the waves while Gloom and Sandshrew went over next to Ash. Ten minutes later, the battle between Charmeleon and Pidgeotto got underway. Charmeleon started with Flamethrower. Pidgeotto used Agility to get out of the way. Then she charged in with a Wing Attack at the ready. Charmeleon blasted her back with Psybeam. Then Charmeleon used Dragonbreath while Pidgeotto was disoriented. Pidgeotto fell from the sky but was able to get airborne again.

Then Pidgeotto used Gust. Charmeleon was knocked off her feet. But she was able to use her powers to levitate in the air. Then she used Dragon Rage. Pidgeotto dodged with Double Team and came at Charmeleon with Wing Attack again. Charmeleon was able to quickly located the real Pidgeotto. She turned to the left and fired a Flamethrower. The real Pidgeotto fell from the sky again. Charmeleon followed uu with Psybeam, ending the match.

"Pidgeotto is unable to continue. Charmeleon is the winner," Ash said.

Charmeleon then used Recover on Pidgeotto. Ten minutes later, she and Lugia faced off. Lugia started off with Psybeam. Charmeleon cancelled out Lugia's Psybeam with her own. Then Lugia fired an Aeroblast. Charmeleon cancelled the attack out with her Flamethrower. Then Charmeleon attempted to do Psychic on Lugia. She was unsuccessful because of the weight issue. She just wasn't strong enough to lift Lugia even an inch yet.

"Even though I'm holding back because I want to be fair to you, let me show you how it's done," Lugia said before using Psychic on Charmeleon.

Charmeleon was lifted off the ground and sent flying. She recovered with Teleport. She reappeared behind Lugia and used Flamethrower. But Lugia used Barrier before turning around and firing a Hydro Pump attack. Charmeleon was knocked to the ground but was able to recover. She used Recover on herself before firing a Dragonbreath attack. Lugia used Aeroblast to cancel the attack out. Then he used Aeroblast again. Charmeleon used Barrier but it shattered when Lugia's attack made impact. Although the Aeroblast was a weak on, it was still strong enough to break the barrier Charmeleon put around herself.

"That's pretty impressive for a weak Aeroblast," Charmeleon said.

"Thanks," Lugia said. He then came charging at Charmelon, a Wing Attack at the ready.

Charmeleon used Teleport with only seconds to spare. But Lugia simply turned around and came at Charmeleon again. Caught off guard, Charmeleon took a direct hit.

"That was a good recovery Lugia," Ash said.

"Thank you," Lugia said.

Ash could see that Charmeleon was struggling to get up. Finally, she went down for the count.

"Charmeleon is unable to battle. Lugia is the winner," Ash said.

Lugia landed before using Recover on Charmeleon. Then he used Recover on himself. "That was a great battle Charmeleon," he said.

"You did great yourself," Charmeleon said.

"All of you did very well. I was very impressed," Ash said.

"Thank you," Charmeleon said as the others nodded.

"Now let's all take a break," Ash said.

The others nodded. Then Lapras dove back under the waves to take a nap. Deciding to follow her example, the others decided to take a nap as well. Ash got onto Lugia's back before falling asleep. Lugia got into a comfortable position before falling asleep as well. The others had soon gotten into comfortable positions and had fallen asleep as well.

Well, here's the end of another chapter. Things are going to get pretty interesting starting next chapter. Preview for Chapter 4: Return to Civilization: After spending two years on the island, Ash feels the need to be around others like him. So he and his six Pokemon head off to New Bark Town so he can become a licensed trainer. Ash's Pokemon journey will now begin.
