Chapter 16 – Kitako Lake, The North Winds

Ash and Misty woke up in their tent to the sound of others moving around the area. The two snuggled with each other for a little longer, simply enjoying their closeness all comfortable and content in their tent, wrapped up in their sleeping bag bed. Eventually they pulled away from each other and shared a soft kiss.

“Good morning, Ash.” Misty smiled softly at her boyfriend.

“Morning, Misty.” Ash smiled back as he gently pressed his forehead against hers, their eyes meeting and pouring affection and love for each other. Their entwined Auras only strengthening the emotional connection they were sharing.

“We should get up; Gwen did say the leftovers from last night would be available for breakfast.” Misty reminded as she shrugged off the sleeping bag ‘blanket’. Ash could only appreciate the sight of Misty in nothing but her panties again. Misty let him watch as she picked out her outfit for the day. Not like she wasn’t enjoying the view of Ash in nothing but his boxers. Ash eventually shook his head and started getting dressed as well.

The two left their tent and joined several other Trainers for breakfast. The meat that was left over, quite a large amount considering the number of Stantler that had to be taken; was being split between human and Pokémon. Dozens of carnivorous or omnivorous Pokémon were eating the extra Stantler meat. The largest of which were Arthur’s Ursaring, Pangoro, and Beartic; the three large Bear Pokémon stripping bones almost completely clean of meat as they ate. Many would think that Pangoro were herbivores given the species mostly bamboo diet in the wild. This was untrue and the large Pokémon were in fact omnivores. They ate meat when they could get it, usually scavenging or from a rare hunt. Ash and Misty released their Pokémon for breakfast and all of the meat eaters happily rushed over to the large pile of cooked Stantler meat to fill their bellies. Misty walked over to the lake to let Goldeen feed from natural water plants. It was a good practice to let a Pokémon eat its natural diet when it could be facilitated after all.

Ash and Misty chatted amicably with some other Trainers during breakfast and ate Stantler chops with eggs and a small, fresh salad provided by Gwen to any Trainer that wanted it. The only thing of note during breakfast was watching one of the older Trainers; that had been on a different Team than them, finish his breakfast and stand up with a lovely lady, mid-twenties probably, and head over to one of the four ‘tiny house’ wagons. The auburn-haired man helped the fawn-haired woman up onto the coachman’s seat before releasing two Pokémon from their Pokéballs. Two Tauros appeared with snorts and the man quickly had them harnessed and attached to the ‘tiny house’ wagon. He hauled himself up to sit beside the fawn-haired woman with a smile. A quick flick of the reigns and the two Bull Pokémon started walking forward pulling the wagon behind them without any visible strain.

“Hmm, I wonder how much one of those ‘tiny houses’ costs?” Ash thought aloud and Misty shrugged.

“Probably a lot since it offers all the comforts of home while travelling.” Misty replied as she finished her breakfast. Ash finished his up shortly afterwards and the two went to collect their Pokémon. Both of them got a chuckle out of seeing most of their Pokémon completely stuffed. Even the normally calm Riolu was happily patting his full stomach with a content sigh. After returning their Pokémon to their Pokéballs, Misty and Ash went to say goodbye to Arthur and Gwen who were to be leaving shortly themselves. Getting another round of thanks from the older couple and well wishes too, Ash and Misty went and packed up their tent and headed out to the north of Kitako Lake following the northeast stream that Gwen had pointed out last night. With Pikachu napping in the top of Ash’s pack, the little Electric Type having stuffed himself silly at breakfast, the couple followed the stream northward.

It was quite the walk to follow the stream as the forest became thicker and there was no path to really follow. The couple stuck close to the stream as they continued onward for quite a ways. Ash looked around the dense forest seeing only a few Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Murkrow, Spearow, and the occasional Bug Type Pokémon. Though it was obvious the Bug Types were watching out for the Bird Pokémon, often scurrying into the dense foliage before Ash could identify them all.

“Hey Ash, I think we’ve found the pond Gwen mentioned.” Misty called out and Ash turned to face her. Not too far ahead of them the forest thinned out and made a large clearing.

The reason for said clearing in the middle of the dense forest was rather clear only a moment later. A very large pond filled with Bibarel and a massive dam made from the fallen trees the Beaver Pokémon had gnawed down over time. Ash spotted quite a few Bidoof as well gnawing on wood and other vegetation around the area. All in all it was a very picturesque scene and it made both Ash and Misty involuntarily smile at the natural beauty of the area.

“So which one are you going to catch?” Ash questioned his girlfriend.

“Not sure yet.” Misty replied as she looked over the Beaver Pokémon. “Taking the alpha of this area might harm their natural family unit. But I do want an enthusiastic battler if possible.”

“I see; it would be good to catch one that likes to battle already.” Ash nodded at Misty’s reasoning. “It would make the Bibarel much more amendable to training.”

“That’s what I was thinking.” Misty confirmed as she looked over the large pond and all the Bibarel. The couple hadn’t made much of a sound since they’d arrived on the edge of the forest, so the Normal/Water Types hadn’t seemed to notice them yet.

“Hmm, I’m no expert on Bibarel but what about one of those over there?” Ash pointed to a group of Bibarel off to the edge of the pond. The Bibarel in question were all chattering at each other and making aggressive movements. It looked like the group was about to engage in some battling. Many Pokémon that lived in groups had ‘Protectors’ that often engaged in battle to get stronger. In large groups, like this Bibarel colony, multiple ‘Protectors’ battled against each other to get stronger.

“They have quite a few ‘Protectors’ for being so far from most predators.” Misty mentioned as she looked over the group. “Let’s get closer and see if I can challenge one of them.”

“Sure thing, Misty.” Ash nodded as he and Misty slowly and quietly made their way over to the group of Bibarel ‘Protectors’. The group of Bibarel noticed them quickly when they got within several yards of them. All of the Normal/Water Types assumed aggressive stances and whacked their large flat tails onto the ground or into the pond water. The loud slaps alerted the rest of the colony and they quickly dove underwater to get into the safety of the dam.

“I’d like to catch one of you.” Misty announced to the ‘Protectors’ as she pulled out and enlarged a Pokéball. “Whichever one of you wouldn’t mind being my Pokémon, I’ll take you on!” The orangette challenged getting cries from the Beaver Pokémon. After what looked like some debate between the Bibarel, a stocky member stepped forward with a challenging cry.

“Bibarel!” Bibarel called out as it slapped its tail strongly against the ground.

“Alright then, let’s begin!” Misty grinned as she tossed her Pokéball forward. “Starmie, you’re up!” From the white light of the Pokéball came Misty’s most powerful Pokémon. The large, purple, ten armed Starfish Pokémon landed in front of Misty with its odd vocalization.

“Biba!” Bibarel exclaimed right before a launching a Water Gun at Starmie.

“Rapid Spin to the right!” Misty instructed. Starmie spun out of the way of the Water Gun and approached Bibarel at speed. Bibarel’s head took on a white glow and it met the Rapid Spin with a Headbutt. Starmie’s Rapid Spin stalled but Bibarel was knocked backwards from the more powerful Pokémon.

“Rel!” Bibarel was quick to right itself and get back on its feet. The Beaver Pokémon charged forward with its large teeth glowing bright white.

“That’s Hyper Fang!” Misty exclaimed before giving a new attack to her Starmie. “Alright Starmie, use Bubblebeam!” Starmie quickly blasted the charging Bibarel with a stream of bubbles that stalled the Normal/Water Type’s charge and did a bit of damage.

Ash watched the battle from behind and off to the left of Misty. He could tell that the Bibarel his girlfriend was battling was strong, but Starmie was the stronger of the two Pokémon. This should result in a capture for Misty with just a bit more damage done to Bibarel.

“Bi!” Bibarel was suddenly engulfed in water and shot forward unexpectedly. The Beaver Pokémon slammed into Starmie and sent the Water/Psychic Type backwards a bit.

“Aqua Jet?” Misty questioned herself before she broke into a smile. “I want to catch you even more now! Starmie Psywave!” Starmie’s jewel core glowed a multi-color of light before the psychic waves blasted into Bibarel. But it seemed the fluctuating nature of Psywave wasn’t in Misty’s favor this time as Bibarel barely moved.

“Barel!” Bibarel’s teeth glowed white again before it bit down on one of Starmie’s legs. Starmie staggered a bit from the attack and Misty called out another attack.

“Swift!” Misty called out and the star-shaped rays blasted out of Starmie’s core and slammed Bibarel backwards leaving marks all over the Water/Normal Type. “Finish it with Brine!” A powerful spray of water was launched from three of Starmie’s arms and slammed into the staggered Bibarel. The Beaver Pokémon went tumbling from the attack. With its health already whittled down Brine did extra damage. “Alright! Go, Net Ball!”

One of the three specialized Pokéballs that Misty had bought back in Viridian City left her hand and tapped the downed Bibarel on its back. It drew the Beaver Pokémon inside in a flash of red light and the ball started to shake. Back and forth the specialty Pokéball rocked for a few moments before it stilled and let out a sound of successful capture. Ash smiled at that, even as the Net Ball shrank down and locked itself, the button in the center maintaining a red glow.

“Yes!” Misty cheered as she ran over to collect her new teammate. “I caught Bibarel!” She held up the Net Ball happily while the other Bibarel chattered amongst themselves before they all dived into the water and disappeared from view.

“Congratulations, Misty!” Ash applauded his girlfriend and Misty beamed at him.

“Thanks Ash!” Misty smiled before she turned to Starmie. “You did great Starmie!” The orangette happily ran her hands softly over her Pokémon giving it pats and rubs to show her appreciation for its efforts. “Use Recover.” With another odd vocalization Starmie glowed and its injuries quickly disappeared. “That’s better, take a nice long rest Starmie, you definitely earned it.” With that Starmie was recalled in a beam of red light and Misty placed the now shrunken Pokéball on her belt.

“So, are you going to send one of your Pokémon off and add Bibarel to your team? Or are you going to send Bibarel off and stay with who you have right now?” Ash asked as Misty looked at her newest capture’s ball.

“Hmm, not sure yet.” Misty hummed. “I could send one of my Pokémon back to the Gym for a bit. That way I could get to know both Wooper and Bibarel better, but which one?”

“Well you don’t have to make a decision right away.” Ash shrugged and Misty nodded as she held the locked ball in her hand.

“Could I borrow your Pokédex, Ash?” Misty requested and Ash nodded as he handed it to her. “Thank you.” She thanked him with a smile as she held up the Net Ball to the scanner.

“Bibarel, the Beaver Pokémon, It makes its nest by damming streams with bark and mud. It is known as an industrious worker. A river dammed by Bibarel will never overflow its banks, which is appreciated by people nearby.” The Pokédex intoned before it continued with more detailed information. “This Bibarel is female and knows the moves; Water Gun, Aqua Jet, Headbutt, and Hyper Fang.”

“Not a bad move set for a Wild Pokémon.” Ash commented and Misty could only agree. She switched over to Ability Identifier and scanned the Net Ball again.

“This Bibarel’s Ability is Unaware. This Ability allows the Pokémon to ignore the stat increases of its opponents in battle.” The Pokédex informed and Misty smiled at the useful Ability. She handed Ash his Pokédex back and then attached the locked ball onto her belt with the other six.

“I guess we should head back.” Misty suggested as she looked up and judged the time by the position of the sun. “By the time we get back it’ll be close to lunch time.” Ash nodded in agreement but before the couple could turn to leave a cool wind blew across the area and made both of them have goosebumps.

“Where’d this cool wind come from?” Ash questioned and Misty shrugged before both of them felt a sense of pressure all over their bodies. A split second later and their Aura senses flared making both of them jolt strongly before turning to where they felt the powerful Aura emanating from. What they saw was something neither of them would forget, especially not a Water Type Specialist like Misty.

On the other side of the large pond stood a large quadrupedal Pokémon; it was primarily light blue in color with a white underbelly and some white spots on its fur. Two long white streamer-like tails emerged from behind it and flowed forwards. From the back of its head emerged long, flowing, purple fur and from the top of its head an almost crystal-like structure emerged forming an elongated shape similar to a cut diamond. Its calm red eyes looked at them without malice or any negativity. The Pokémon then tilted its head upwards and let out a howl.

“Cune!” The Pokémon howled and both Trainers felt the sound reverberate through them. They felt the howl in both their bodies and their Auras. The sensation was indescribable as they stood there like they were frozen. Just gazing upon the form of a Legendary Pokémon, the Aurora Pokémon, Suicune.

Ash thought he might have heard his Pokédex say something as it was still in his hand but neither he nor Misty paid it any attention. Their eyes wouldn’t move from the Pokémon in front of them. Suicune looked at both of the humans before howling once more. The two Trainers then watched in awe as the pond water suddenly cleared up in a wave the emanated from where Suicune was standing. The pond looked even more beautiful than before as it was purified of any and all toxins that could have built up over time. Witnessing this phenomenon first hand only further reinforced the awe that Ash and Misty were feeling. It brought back memories of learning about Legendary Pokémon when they were both little children listening to stories from their parents. It also furthered their understanding of just why these Pokémon were often worshipped as Deities.

In almost every Region of the World, there existed Legends; the tales passed down generation after generation through word of mouth or written down. Among these myriad tales there existed the ones regarding the Pokémon known as Legendary, and according to many, the true Deities of the world. Since Ancient Times many Legendary Pokémon had been worshipped and Deified by Humans and Pokémon alike. All of them wielded power and abilities that just weren’t found in other Pokémon. Some early Tribes of Humans praised certain Legendary Pokémon more than others. In Johto Lugia and Ho-oh were worshipped to this day, especially in Ecruteak City. In Hoenn the Draconids took Rayquaza as their Patron Legendary Pokémon.

In the Modern Era, many Scientists tried to figure out if there truly was only a single member of each Legendary Pokémon species. Most studies were inconclusive, as it was very rare to ever see a Legendary Pokémon, but some confirmations had come in over the decades. Eyewitness accounts of seeing young Legendary Pokémon, pictures of two Legendary Pokémon of the same species taken at different places at nearly the same time, and other such instances. This had led to a theory developing many decades ago, put forth by a philosopher. The Legendary Pokémon may very well create more of their own kind. But that the ‘Original’ Legendary Pokémon, the ones said to be created by Arceus, were truly eternal and possessed far more power than any ‘offspring’ they might have. That these ‘Originals’ could channel the Power of Arceus to create new ‘Original’ Legendary Pokémon themselves in rare instances. This theory had some support from Ho-oh followers that knew the tale of Ho-oh resurrecting three fallen Pokémon from the Burnt Tower. Those three being known as the Legendary Beasts; Raikou, Entei, and Suicune.

The very Suicune that Ash and Misty were currently staring at in awe. The Legendary Water Type calmly walked across the pond, literally walking across the water as if it was the ground. Each of its steps made the water under it glow and sparkle for a short time afterwards. With one last look directly at the two Trainers, Suicune leaped over them and gracefully landed along the tree line before quickly disappearing into the forest with incredible speed. Ash and Misty tried to follow it with their eyes as long as possible but it was gone in seconds. The couple continued to stare at the place Suicune had vanished before a computerized voice snapped them out of it.

“Recording complete; sending video data to Professor Oak’s laboratory.” The Pokédex intoned as it transmitted a copy of the video it had taken of Suicune while Ash had limply held the device in his shock.

“Oh…um…that’s good?” Ash was at a loss for words. When he’d seen Ho-oh the morning after meeting Misty the Legendary had been flying through the sky. This had been an up close encounter and the sheer feeling of being so close to a Legendary had made Ash’s Aura placid and calm. That may be attributed to Suicune’s own massive Aura and the Legendary’s nature. But regardless, Ash had been almost unable to move in the presence of Suicune.

“Did…did that just happen…like…for real?” Misty asked slowly having a hard time reconciling the experience she’d just had.

“I saw it…the Pokédex even recorded it.” Ash tried to reassure his girlfriend she hadn’t imagined it.

“Ash?” Misty turned to him and the amber-eyed Trainer looked over at his girlfriend.

“Yeah Misty?” Ash responded.

“Kiss me.” Misty requested as she wrapped her arms behind his neck.

“Okay.” Ash leaned down, his arms wrapping around her waist, as he pressed their lips together. The two let their Auras entwine and slowly sank into their feelings for each other as they kissed. The shock and amazement of their encounter was slowly eased as their love and affection for each other soothed them. After almost a full minute the two parted for air.

“Thank you, Ash.” Misty sighed as she laid her head on his shoulder and was finally able to process what she’d just experienced.

“You too, Misty.” Ash replied as he hugged her close.

“That was amazing!” Misty exclaimed into his neck with a large smile on her face.

“It was intense, being that close to a Legendary.” Ash nodded as they continued to hold each other. “But I’m glad we got to experience it, together.”

“Me too.” Misty pulled back to smile at him, her warm and glowing smile that filled his heart with pure warmth and always brought a smile to his face as well.

“Misty?” Ash spoke and Misty locked eyes with him.

“Yes Ash?” Misty asked as they gazed into each other’s eyes.

“I love you.” Ash told her while their entwined Auras let the truth and emotion of his words flood her being.

“I love you too, Ash.” Misty responded as her eyes glistened and their lips met again for a loving kiss as their entwined Auras flared. The two had no concept of time as they kissed and held onto each other. Nothing else mattered at the moment except the one they were holding close.

They did end up separating eventually when Pikachu finally poked his head out of Ash’s pack and brought the happy couple back to reality.

-Oak’s Lab-

“Hmm, seems like Ash’s Pokédex has sent me another video file.” Professor Oak hummed to himself as he sat down at the computer to open the video. “Whatever this may be, I’m pretty sure he can’t top the Ho-oh footage he sent me on his second day.”

Upon opening the footage and watching the whole video Professor Oak was stunned. He simply sat there unmoving for almost two full minutes before he rapidly stood up, so fast in fact that he knocked his office chair backwards and onto the floor.

“What?!” Oak exclaimed loudly startling all of his Aides. Several of said Aides ran into the Professor’s office trying to find out what was going on. What they saw was the renowned Professor Samuel Oak staring at a video playing on his computer screen while furiously jotting down notes onto a notepad.

“Professor? Are you alright, sir?” One of the Aides asked softly as he approached the older man.

“This is incredible! Never in all my years! I wouldn’t believe it was possible to get such up close video! I knew it was a good idea to install an auto record function!” The Professor rambled as he continued to take down notes.

“Professor?” The Aide spoke up a bit louder. He and all the others were completely ignored again as the Professor continued to watch whatever he was furiously taking notes on.

“Professor Oak!” The Aide finally yelled and the old man started just as the video ended.

“What?! What’s going on?! Why are all of you in my office?” Professor Oak asked of his Aides.

“We heard you yell Professor, we came to see if something was wrong.” The Aide explained and that seemed to refocus the Professor’s attention.

“No, no, everything is good. Beyond good in fact!” Professor Oak replied with a large smile as he motioned for his Aides to gather around his computer. “Ash has sent a new video file of Pokémon footage.”

“It must be a rare specimen again, we’ve only seen you like this when he sent his last file.” The Aide replied as they all gathered around the screen.

“Prepare to be amazed again!” Professor Oak claimed as he hit the replay button and the video started from the beginning. The Aides, as well as Professor Oak…again, watched the video and by the end all of them were excitedly talking, or yelling if we’re being honest, as they rushed to make copies of the file and send them to Professor Oak’s associates. Video footage this clear, not to mention this close up, of a Legendary Pokémon would shake up the Pokémon Research Community.

“Send a copy to Professor Elm first!” One Aide instructed as they all quickly rushed out of the office and found computers to start working at.

“I’m sending a copy to Professor Rowan in Sinnoh.” A different Aide informed the others. This was the next several minutes of conversation between all of Professor Oak’s Aides while the older man chuckled at the vigor and excitement in his lab. It would seem that Ash was about to make the day, or possibly the month, of many Pokémon Professors again!

“Make sure Professor Cerise in Vermilion City gets a copy!” Professor Oak reminded his Aides with one of them stating they’d send the copy immediately.

“Sir, should I send a copy to Dr. Fuji? I know he’s retired but…” An Aide asked.

“Go ahead.” Professor Oak nodded to the Aide. Dr. Fuji had retired several years back but the man’s knowledge couldn’t be doubted. It was always good to get the man’s input on rare data like this.

“While we’re at it, let’s make sure that Professor Birch gets a copy as well. I’m interested in what he’ll make of Suicune being found in the area north of Kitako Lake. That’s rather far from most of the sightings of it in Johto which we believe is the species native habitat.” Professor Oak instructed and got a confirmation from another Aide a few moments later.

This footage would probably lead to another video conference with his peers and contemporaries just like the Ho-oh footage had. It was quite the productive meeting last time and Professor Oak had immensely enjoyed catching up with his fellow Professors during it. 

“In fact…why not add some more Professors?” Professor Oak thought aloud before nodding to himself. “Get in contact with Professors Aurea and Cedric Juniper in Unova. This particular footage may be a bit out of their normal Pokémon of study but I’m curious to hear their thoughts on the matter from the stand point of their own Research Fields.”

“Yes, Professor!” A nearby Aide exclaimed as she started searching for the Unovan Professor’s contact information.

“Keep it up Ash, my boy! You’re making the Research Field more exciting than it’s been in years!” Professor Oak chuckled to himself as he started looking over the notes he’d already taken about the Suicune in the video.

New Pokémon! Deepening the relationship! New footage to shock the Pokémon Research Community! This has been a hell of a chapter! I hope everyone has enjoyed this! I’ve been planning for Misty and Ash to see/meet Suicune since Chapter 3! It was pretty much the only Water Type Legendary I could realistically have them meet in Kanto before they got to Vermilion City at the earliest. Now it’s on to Cerulean City for the Water City Competition and Ash’s third Badge!

*!*Important Read Below*!*

I'm still accepting Original Characters from my patrons for this story! Most would be one off trainers that Ash or Misty battle along their journey. But others could be Trainers that impart life lessons onto Ash, Misty, or his other travelling companions! Wouldn't you like your Original Character to teach Ash an important life lesson? Or just teach Ash how to loosen up and enjoy a party? So be sure to submit some characters! If you make them detailed enough I might be able to do a small mini arc with your character and Ash's group! 

Some Original Characters could end up filling in some of the new Gym Leader spots that will be in the various Regions! I'll even help out with Badge design/name! You'd get to have your own Gym Leader with their own unique Badge!

I've posted a Character Template to fill out so that I have an easier time integrating the OC into this Alternate Universe of the Pokémon World. Ash will challenge four Gyms besides the eight canon Gyms with Steel Type, Ghost Type, Flying Type and Dragon Type being the four. All four now have OCs planned out thanks to some awesome patrons!

Until I get your reviews, later!
