Chapter 18 – Preparations and a Prodigy

“Good morning lovebirds!” Violet greeted brightly as Misty and Ash made their way into the kitchen. Lily and Daisy both cracked smiles at their little sister and her boyfriend. Misty still had her hair down and was wearing a baggy t-shirt; that clearly belonged to Ash, and cotton short shorts. Ash was wearing a pair of dark green lounge pants and a light gray t-shirt. Both appeared to be mostly awake, but still a little drowsy from sleep.

“Morning.” Misty replied as she sat at the table. 

“Good morning, something smells good.” Ash smiled as he sat beside Misty and let her lean on him.

“Mhmm! I made breakfast this morning, so it’s definitely good!” Violet laughed as she brought over a plate for each of them. On each plate was an omelet, fresh fruit, and a stack of small pancakes.

“Looks good too!” Ash grinned as he picked up his knife and fork. “What kind of omelet?”

“Ham, spinach and tomato! So it’s got protein, vitamins and minerals! The pancakes are whole grain too. We’re pretty healthy eaters, got to keep the figure for photo shoots!” She giggled as Ash happily dug in. Misty smiled fondly at her boyfriend as she watched him enjoy his breakfast. There was just something endearing seeing him enjoy something so simple. With that she dug into her breakfast as well. Violet was always a good cook, followed closely by Daisy. Lily and Misty were pretty good but both admitted that they couldn’t match their sisters.

“So, what’s the plan for today?” Daisy asked the two once they were more awake and close to finishing their food.

“I’m going to get to know Wooper and Bibarel a bit better and start some heavier training. Wooper was already close to evolving when I caught her so I’m hoping to help her get there before the Competition.” Misty informed and all three of her sisters’ eye lit up.

“We’ll help you with that, Misty.” Daisy smiled at the orangette. “It’ll be fun and we can start to reconnect more.” Lily and Violet both nodded along with their eldest sister’s words.

“Thank you, I’d like that.” Misty smiled at her sisters.

“What about you, Ash?” Lily asked the amber eyed teen.

“I’m going to start preparing for our Gym Battle. Though I’ll probably need to go to the Training Facility; can’t have you three seeing my Pokémon and strategies beforehand.” Ash mused with a grin.

“Oh darn.” Lily snapped her fingers jokingly, as if she’d been planning to spy on his training. Everyone chuckled lightly at the joke before Ash and Misty stood up and headed for her room. They needed to get ready for the day, and that meant getting dressed properly. Several minutes later Ash and Misty parted ways in the Gym lobby. Misty would be training with her sisters and Ash was headed out to the Facility. A soft kiss was shared between the couple, which got a quiet ‘Aww’ from both Violet and Brook, before Ash headed out.

“So, are you ready to get started, Misty?” Daisy questioned and Misty nodded to her eldest sister.

“Let’s head back to the private pool. I’ll let out all of my Pokémon and start bonding with Wooper and Bibarel.” Misty stated and the four sisters headed back to the back of the Gym. A few minutes later they were at the private training pool and Misty tossed her Pokéballs into the air. “Come on out!” From the seven Pokéballs all of her Pokémon emerged. Starmie, Staryu, Goldeen, Poliwag, Skiddo, Wooper, and Bibarel appeared and looked around for a second before focusing on Misty and her sisters.

“They look well; I see you’ve evolved the Staryu you started out with.” Daisy commented as she looked Misty’s Team over.

“Huh, didn’t expect you to have a non-Water Type, little sis.” Lily mentioned as she looked at Skiddo. “But it’s cute, so that makes it okay!” The pinkette smiled as she rubbed the Goat Pokémon’s head.

“Ski!” Skiddo bleated happily, nuzzling against Lily’s hand.

“You’ve got a fluffy Bibarel!” Violet squealed as she approached the Beaver Pokémon and let it examine her Aura. After a few moments of feeling the positivity radiating off of Violet, Bibarel allowed the bluenette to pet it. “So warm and fluffy!” She cooed as she ran her hands over the Normal/Water Type’s fur.

“I know, right?” Misty cheered as she pet Bibarel too. “She’s so fuzzy and soft!” Bibarel enjoyed the pats and rubs from her Trainer and the bluenette with the happy Aura. Her large tail started to gently thump on the ground from the attention.

“You weren’t wrong Misty; your Wooper is very close to evolving.” Lily spoke up from where she was examining Wooper. The Water/Ground Type languidly allowing herself to be looked over and given head rubs.

“Goldeen is showing the signs of approaching evolution too.” Daisy spoke up from where she was examining Goldeen in the shallow water of the pool. “You’ve been training hard little sister.”

“Ash and I usually have a battle at lunchtime every day.” Misty informed her sisters. “It’s definitely helped, along with several visits to the various Training Facilities.”

“Well then, how about we start with some move teaching for Wooper and Bibarel. Then we’ll move onto battling?” Daisy suggested. “We only have today and tomorrow before the Competition, so we’ll do what we can.”

“Sounds like a good plan to me.” Misty agreed as she stood up.

“Great, let’s get started.” Daisy smiled as she turned to the large pool. “Dewgong, come here please!”

“Slowbro, come help us out!” Lily called.

“Cloyster, we need your help!” Violet declared.

From the water emerged the three, very large for their species, Pokémon.

“Dew…gong!” Dewgong called out as she bounced out of the water and nuzzled into Daisy’s hand.

“Slow…” Slowbro yawned as it, slowly, pulled itself out of the water and stood beside Lily.

“Cloy?” Cloyster looked confused as it stared at Violet.

“We’re going to be helping Misty’s Pokémon learn some new moves. Can you help us with that?” Daisy questioned the three Pokémon. Cries of agreement came from Dewgong and Cloyster, and a few seconds later Slowbro nodded as well.

“Oh, you’re so cute!” Lily gushed a she hugged her Slowbro. She really loved how ‘derpy’ the species was. It made them so adorable in her eyes.

“So we can all teach new Water Type attacks, but Violet and I can also instruct in Ice Type attacks.” Daisy explained.

“Slowbro and I will help your Staryu and Starmie out with some new Psychic Type moves, right Slowbro?” Lily turned to her Water/Psychic Type, after a few seconds she giggled when Slowbro finally nodded.

“Ooh, we should also teach them Signal Beam too! All of our Pokémon know it.” Violet mentioned.

“True, it’s good for dealing with Grass Types.” Daisy nodded.

“Dark Types too, since Starmie is part Psychic Type a well!” Lily reminded.

“Hmm, if any of her Pokémon have the aptitude for the strategy it might be good to teach them Substitute, right Cloyster?” Violet looked at her Pokémon.

“Ster!” Cloyster ‘nodded’ in its shell.

“If we had more time we might be able to teach some of her Pokémon how to use Thunderbolt too.” Daisy commented as she held her hand up to her cheek.

“Wait, wait, wait! Hold up!” Misty raised her hands towards her sisters. “Water Types can learn Thunderbolt?! I thought only the Lanturn line could learn Electric Type moves!”

“Oh no, several Water Types can learn how to use Thunderbolt; it just takes a long time to teach them. Unless you go the TM Route but that cost, at minimum, fifty thousand PokéYen each time. Even then it’s hard for them to teach others if they go that route.” Lily explained to her little sister.

“Hmm, if I recall Staryu, Starmie, Gyarados, and Lapras are the Kanto Native Water Types that can learn Thunderbolt.” Violet put her index finger on her chin as she recalled the information.

“I’m fairly certain Bibarel can learn it too.” Daisy took on a ‘thinking’ pose. “Their fur can generate a bit of static to help them get started if I remember correctly. We might be able to get the basics down by the time you leave after coming back from Azure Town.”

“That would be amazing! It is too bad that we won’t have it down in time for the Competition. We could have one heck of a secret weapon!” Misty grinned.

“Except against the Lanturn line, they often have Volt Absorb as their Ability.” Lily chimed in. “Chinchou and Lanturn are pretty often used in the Water City Competition too, for their Type advantage!”

“I’d be more worried about the Ludicolo line from Hoenn; at least when it comes to Misty’s Team.” Violet spoke up. “Grass/Water Types mean they have quite the advantage. We should make sure they have Signal Beam down before the Competition just in case a Trainer with one of them shows up.”

“Misty’s Poliwag is also showing signs of evolution; so I bet we can get Mud Shot down since her Wooper already knows it. That should cover any Chinchou or Lanturn she comes across.” Daisy nodded. “We can’t prepare for every eventuality, but we’ll do what we can with the time we have.”

“Let’s get to it then!” Misty pumped her fists; she was ready for some training!

-Cerulean City ~ On the Way to the Training Facility-

Ash was walking along the sidewalk towards the Training Facility. It was a bit of a walk, but Ash wanted to stretch his legs anyway. He chatted with Pikachu about what they’d need to work on to beat the Cerulean Gym. A definite increase in speed and power of course; but also a new move or two wouldn’t hurt. An evolution or two would also help his Team as well.

About halfway to the Facility Ash felt something with his Aura awareness. Something had just happened involving Aura not too far from where he was. He couldn’t quite tell which direction it had come from though. It had only briefly flickered into his senses and then it was gone. Continuing to walk, Ash kept his senses on alert. Maybe it had been a Pokémon using a fairly powerful move; but to Ash’s senses it had felt a lot closer to the Aura of a human.

“Be ready buddy, something may be about to happen.” Ash whispered to Pikachu.

“Pika.” Pikachu growled lowly, small sparks appearing on his cheeks.

Ash felt the sensation again, a burst of Aura close by, only this time it was directly behind him! A hand touched his shoulder and Ash reacted instantly. Pivoting on his right foot he brought his arm up and aimed a back fist towards the person’s face. The faint glow of Fighting Type Aura surrounded his fist but his strike was dodged by the person vanishing and reappearing several feet away.

“Whoa, whoa! Is that how you say ‘Hi’ to a girl you just met?” The blonde girl in a trench coat asked as she held up her hands.

“Pikachu!” Pikachu sparked his cheeks threateningly towards the girl.

“I’m not used to someone blatantly using Aura in the middle of a City!” Ash retorted. “Not to mention appearing directly behind someone and putting their hand on their shoulder!”

“Geez, calm down will you? It’s not like I was going to hurt you.” The blonde girl crossed her arms over her chest.

“Who are you, exactly?” Ash questioned.

“Grace Thrall, Special Aura Prodigy, and a Trainer of the Adept Level.” Grace introduced herself. The look she had in her eyes made it clear she expected Ash to be impressed.

“If you’re a prodigy, like you claim, then you’d know you shouldn’t be using Aura so blatantly where people can see.” Ash replied as he stroked Pikachu’s head to calm his Starter down.

“Like I didn’t check before I Teleported.” Grace scoffed haughtily. “There are only a few people in this area and none of them with a line of sight where we are.”

“A Psychic Type focus on your Aura then?” Ash questioned and Grace nodded. “What exactly do you want with me?”

“I recently met a Trainer by the name of Gary Oak.” Grace informed him.

“Whatever he did, I’m not apologizing for him.” Ash spoke instantly as he held up his hands.

“It’s not like that!” Grace stomped her foot and a hint of red colored her pale complexion. “We had a friendly little race between his car and my motorcycle. He happened to win because the dirt road of Route Four gets really narrow coming into Cerulean City.”

“What does this have to do with me?” Ash questioned, now confused by this girl.

“Well, we chatted a bit and he mentioned how he was ahead of the two he started from Pallet Town with. One boy called Ash Ketchum, and the other a girl called Leaf Green. You’re Ash Ketchum, right?”

“Yeah.” Ash confirmed.

“What is your relationship to Gary?” Grace asked and her cheeks were red now.

“Childhood friends, well I guess we’re more Rivals now.” Ash mused on his relationship with Gary. “We’ve always been competitive with each other.”

“Well, I kind of want to know more about him, so what could you tell me?” Grace asked as she fidgeted slightly.

“Do you like him or something?” Ash questioned, seeing the girl’s behavior.

“Maybe…so what? Just tell me about him!” Grace blushed fiercely while glaring at him.

“You said you two chatted, right?” Ash questioned, Grace nodded in reply. “Did he tell you to leave him alone?” Grace shook her head. “Were his parting words ‘Smell ya later.’?”

“No, why would they be?” Grace asked confused.

“That’s how he ends conversations with people that he finds annoying.” Ash informed the girl. “If you had a full conversation with him and he didn’t say that to you, then he doesn’t mind your company.”

“Really?!” Grace asked looking excited.

“Yeah, really. So you can just go talk to him if you’re curious or crushing on him.” Ash shrugged.

“No way!” Grace yelled her face red. “I mean, a girl shouldn’t just go up to the guys she likes and start asking a bunch of questions.” The blonde girl’s haughty tone returned as she fought down her embarrassment.

“Why not?” Ash questioned. “My girlfriend Misty and I got together just by spending time together and chatting as we travelled.”

“You have a girlfriend?!” Grace exclaimed while pointing at Ash.

“Yeah, why?” Ash asked, now he was getting confused.

“If you and Gary are Rivals, then as Gary’s future girlfriend, your girlfriend will be my Rival!” Grace declared.

“What?” Ash wondered what he’d just gotten himself and Misty into with the blonde teen in front of him.

“I’ll presume she’s an Aura user like you. So I’ll wait until I sense you with her before I challenge her! Your Aura is very distinct so I’ll be able to lock onto you even from far away! Don’t think you can run from me!” Grace pointed at him.

“Can your ‘challenge’ come after the Water City Competition?” Ash asked. “Misty is competing and I’d rather not have her distracted.”

“I suppose.” Grace had fully returned to her haughty attitude. It kind of reminded Ash of Gary, now that he actually compared the two. Clearly both of them were confident in their abilities and would need to suffer some kind of defeat to break them of it.

“Thank you. Now if you don’t mind I’m headed for the Training Facility to prepare for my Gym Battle.” Ash stated while turning to continue his walk to the Facility.

“Wait! You still haven’t told me anything about Gary!” Grace exclaimed as she chased after him.

“Oh boy.” Ash sighed as Grace caught up with him and started asking questions. Ash decided that he was going to punch Gary in the shoulder the next time he saw him. That was the least his Rival deserved for somehow getting him involved with his ‘potential’ relationship.

-Training Facility-

“Finally.” Ash huffed as he made his way into the Facility. Grace had followed him almost the entire way, asking questions about Gary the whole time! The girl obviously had it bad, but he really didn’t think he needed to be involved!

“How can I help you today?” The young woman behind the desk asked. She was probably in her late teens and was dressed in khaki shorts and a white t-shirt with the logo of the Training Facility franchise emblazoned across it.

“I’m here to use the Facility; I need to train up to be able to win at the Cerulean Gym.” Ash replied.

“Very well, that’ll be five hundred PokéYen please.” The lady smiled and Ash quickly handed over the cash and received his wristband. “Would you like an Assistant Trainer today?”

“No, thank you.” Ash denied and the lady nodded back. With that Ash made his way into the Facility to start working with his Pokémon. Ash was quick to release his current Team for training. At the moment his Team of six consisted of Pikachu, Riolu, Pidgeotto, Phanpy, Poliwag, and Skiddo. Teddiursa and Butterfree were currently relaxing at Professor Oak’s ranch for the next couple of days until Ash rotated his Team again.

“Well, you guys ready to start training?” Ash asked and a cry of confirmation came from each of his Pokémon. “That’s what I like to hear! Let’s get stronger and win our next Badge!” His Pokémon all cheered as Ash started them on cardio. After cardio came some strength training with the weights and working the bag for a bit. Ash thought about his Pokémon’s improvements as he held the bag for them. Pikachu had gotten Iron Tail down now, so that was a good move against Rock Types in the future, Fairy Types too, even though they hadn’t battled any yet. Poliwag could now walk on land easily enough and Misty was certain that evolution was in sight for both of their Tadpole Pokémon. Pidgeotto had grown a bit bigger as well and Ash was hoping to start her on learning Aerial Ace soon. 

Riolu, always dedicated to his training, had definitely bulked up and grown a bit taller. Ash knew a close bond with Riolu was a necessity for his friend to evolve and he felt through their Auras that Riolu was probably getting close. Skiddo had made a bit of progress with Bulldoze as they travelled and both he and Misty had noticed a bit of an increase in travel speed from their Skiddo. Lawrence did say that some good training and a month or so of time would probably see both Skiddo brothers evolve into Gogoat. Phanpy, as his newest capture, had the most ‘catching up’ to do. But the little Elephant Pokémon was quite the hard worker. He was taking to training very well and Ash was hopeful to see a new move, instinctively learned, come about soon.

Around lunchtime Ash called his Pokémon back to him. They’d all been doing a cooldown at the time and Ash was pleased to see the hard work his Team had put in today. Returning them to their Pokéballs and then letting Pikachu climb up onto his shoulder, Ash turned in his wristband and headed out the door. Ash took a more ‘populated’ route back towards the Cerulean Gym; just too hopefully ward off Grace from Teleporting to him and bombarding him with any more questions about Gary. Several minutes later and Ash was entering the Gym. He greeted Brook and used the code that Daisy had given him to enter the ‘Residential’ area of the Gym. Walking into the home of the Waterflower Sisters, Ash smelled something good.

“Huh, wonder who is cooking now?” Ash murmured as he headed for the kitchen. Seeing Lily at the stove he greeted the pinkette with a smile. “What’re you making, Lily?”

“I’m cooking up some Pidgey breasts. Then I’m going to slice them up and put them on a fresh salad.” Lily informed him. “We have a variety of dressings, so pick your favorite when it’s ready.”

“Will do.” Ash nodded. “Thanks for lunch, Lily.”

“Don’t mention it, Ash.” Lily shook her head. “You’re Misty’s boyfriend, and with how much your Auras are Entwined, probably our future brother-in-law. So you’re practically family!”

“Thank you.” Ash felt his cheeks heating up but couldn’t seem to do anything about it.

“You’re welcome, ‘little brother’.” Lily giggled at seeing his reaction to her teasing. Ash quickly made his way towards the table and greeted Daisy and Violet. Sitting next to Misty he took in the happy grin on her face and asked her how her morning had been.

“We’ve been working hard.” Misty grinned. “We’re getting started on some new moves for all of my Pokémon that should definitely give us a leg up during the Competition.”

“Sounds interesting; what’s the first move you’re focusing on?” Ash questioned.

“Signal Beam, for the Type Coverage.” Misty answered as she looked towards her sisters. “Turns out quite a few Pokémon can learn it and it’ll help if we come across any of the Ludicolo line. It’ll also be good if anyone has a Crawdaunt, Carvanha, or Sharpedo. Though I think Sharpedo and Crawdaunt would be more likely in the Third Tier of the Competition. Both species tend to be aggressive and hard to control for less experienced Trainers.

“I could see that.” Ash nodded, Sharpedo were Apex predators and most Dark Types were prone to mischief at best and outright aggression and hostility at worst. So it would be very unexpected to see a Trainer of a lower Level in possession of one that was fully evolved.

“How was your morning, get a good workout?” Misty asked as she looked him over.

“Yeah, we definitely made some progress.” Ash confirmed with a smile. “If we train hard enough I might have a Gogoat by the time we leave Cerulean.”

“Just because I’m training for a Competition that only allows Water Types, don’t think I’m slacking on Skiddo’s training.” Misty smirked at him. “My Skiddo might just evolve before yours!” Misty teasingly stuck her tongue out at him.

“Well aren’t you confident.” Ash responded with a raised eyebrow. He leaned towards Misty with a grin. Misty happily leaned towards him and just as their lips were about to meet, Lily set the completed Grilled Pidgey Salad down on the table. Misty and Ash turned towards the pinkette and blinked.

“Now, now, Misty, you don’t want to make your big sisters feel bad about not having boyfriends, do you?” Lily asked teasingly as she started making plates for everyone.

“Yeah!” Violet got in on the teasing. “Keep the lovey dovey stuff in your room, Misty!”

“Oh hush!” Misty huffed, turning her nose up into the air dramatically. Ash couldn’t help but snicker at the banter between the sisters.

“I’m sure you can wait for Ash until tonight, Misty.” Daisy grinned at her baby sister. “I very much doubt you two just go to sleep every night.”

“Shut up, shut up, shut up!” Misty hid her red face behind her hands while her sisters giggled. Ash chuckled as he pulled Misty close so she could hide her face in his chest until she calmed down. This made Violet coo at how ‘adorable’ it was. After a minute to calm down their lunch began and everyone dug into the Grilled Pidgey Salad.

“This is good.” Ash commented. “Great work, Lily!”

“Thank you, Ash!” Lily smiled back at him as she ate.

“Lily’s a good cook, but Violet’s definitely the best of us.” Daisy commented.

“No argument here.” Lily giggled while Violet rubbed the back of her head at the praise.

“Aww, you’re going to make me blush.” Violet joked as she continued her meal.

Ash really liked this family dynamic that had naturally seemed to return to the Waterflower sisters after they reconciled. It reminded him of the times when both his parents were at home. His dad was serious in public. But get him alone with his family and friends and he was a bit of a goof. Cracking jokes and even making the occasional pun. Ash would make sure to buy a PokéGear before he left Cerulean City. He missed chatting with his parents, plus he did want to check up on his mother’s pregnancy.

“Hey, would you mind if I used the video phone to call my parents tonight?” Ash asked the sisters.

“Feel free, Ash.” Daisy replied with a smile.

“Maybe you could introduce them to my sisters?” Misty hinted with a grin.

“I might, I’m certain they’d love to meet them.” Ash returned her grin. He was sure Daisy, Lily, and Violet’s reaction to his father would be just as…expressive…as Misty’s had been. He chuckled while the elder Waterflower sisters looked on slightly confused.

*!*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!

Lol that was spectacular! I loved it. Muhahahaha. Gary won’t even see it coming! Ashes fist and him finally having a romantic interest.

Kairomaru

If GRace keeps 'hunting' Ash down to ask questions the 'Shoulder Punch' may have to be upgraded to 'Anime-style Back of the Head Punch!'

Jolly Green

Cue Ash borrowing Misty's Mallet :3
