Ash's journey: Flaming Victory

starter and victini

Ash's pov

I woke up at 7 pm like always so I can leave the house without mother seeing me, since she usually wakes up at 8.

I get my bagpack (the bag is designed aspecially for trainers so it can fit pretty much anything, it's like the bag on Pokemon video games.) ate  breakfast and went to professor's oak's lab to get my starter.

You would think, why didn't you check your bag to make sure you have  everything? it's because since everyone - even my mom - dislikes me, everything in the bag is something that I made with my own hands or bought with my own money that earned giving advice to trainers at the viridian pokemon center, things like clothes l made with sewing I learn on the internet and potions I made with ingredients from the forest and instructions from again the internet, and even learned many healthy human and pokemon food recipes that you can easily make with things that you can find on the wild.
That way by earning and managing money I have everything I need for my journey even if mother don't gives me anything.

I knock the door of the professor's lab and wait. It didn't take long for the professor to open, at the moment he sees me his face went to his fake grandfatherly smile but he doesn't fool me, I can see the evil glint an his eyes but I didn't say anything, I want to get my starter and leave as soon as possible.

"hi there Ash, I assume you came here  to get your starter pokemon"

No, duh.

"unfortunately, the others come here early and already got all the starters."

Bullshit, the time we were supposed to meet was 8, not that I didn't expect to not give me Pokemon, I will just catch a growlithe at very very deeply on route 1 and so I don't give anything away by keeping my face natural.

"on the bright side, I asked some of the other regional professors if they have any starters left to give you"

Ahh.. I see what he is doing, since most new trainers don't know anything of other region pokemon, he thinks that a pokemon I know nothing about will slow me down, to bad for him I have studied of the other regional starters, whatever he gives me will be fine.

"here is the pokemon, it's a pokemon from galar region called Scorbunny and here is your Pokedex."

"thanks for the pokemon, professor although I don't want the Pokedex, just give me, my training card. "

"very well, but if you need anything don't be afraid to ask."

And so I left without another word.
The reason I don't want the Pokedex is because all Pokedexes are connected to the labs of the professors they give it to you, every time you scan or catch a pokemon the information is sent on the professors, and every Pokemon you catch past the six pokemon limit, is sent to the ranch of the lab.
I don't trust the professor at all, with the information of my pokemon or me and even though, I can't have a Pokedex to help me, doesn't me I didn't have something else to help me.
With the money I made, I had bought  a mini-laptop years ego, that I improved every day and have downloaded, every information I have find on internet, type, habitat, berries, stats, abilities, moves, how to care for them, breeding, where to find a specific pokemon, Everything!
As for the six pokemon limit I don't plant to catch more than six pokemon, until I make my own ranch in the future.
The Scorbunny was surprising, I was actually planning to go to galar to catch one but now I don't need to, I am so lucky.
I take the pokeball and I scan it with my laptop.

Scorbunny
Type: fire
Ability: blaze
Gender: female
Nature: jolly
Level: 5
Moves: tackle, growl
Egg moves: high jump kick (locked)

Just as expected, thought the egg move is a surprise the most surprising
Is the female gender, 4/5 of the starters are born male, females are really rare. Oh well it's not like gender  make Pokemons fighting capability any different. Thought I have to think a good name for her I plan to name all my first six pokemon, since I plan to make them legends they need to stand from the rest of their species, a name is good enough for that.

I opened the  pokeball and with a beam of light the pokemon inside is revealed.

The scorbunny is looking at me with curiosity and excitement , I bent down to my knees and reach out my hand for the fire type to analyse my scent, it's away to show the pokemon that you are friendly, once she is done I slowly and gently use my hand to pet her, with the way she is enjoying the petting, I decide that it's time to introduce my self.

"hello, there scorbunny, my name is Ash, I am your new trainer"

"scor! scor!" says the scorbunny happily.

"haha I can see you are excited for the journey, l am excited as well, but first let's talk about our goals. I plant to become the strongest fire type trainer and to reach that, you need to give it your all to your training I give you, to become the strongest Cinderace. It won't be easy but I believe it will be worth it in the end, so what do you say? do you want to come with me? "

"Scor! bunny!" said with excitement and determination in her eyes, it's obvious what see mean.

"okay then, welcome to the team!
Also, time to give you a name, so you can set out of the other pokemon easier."

She nods.

"What about Akane? It means brilliant red in ancient kantonian (Japanese).

"scor!" said the newly named Akane, clearly happy with her name.

"Now Akane defore we start our journey, I have to check something out first."

"nny?" asked Akane with curiosity.

"you will see, just follow me."

/time skip/

And so we find the new partners walking on the wasteland with lava, with Akane in awe.

"we are here"

And indeed they were at the place that Ash meet victini in his dream.

As soon as he said that, said legendary pokemon appeard, surprising both Ash and Akane, Akane for seeing a legendary and Ash because his dream was right.

'hi there Ash.'

So you did talk to me via my dream,
Why did you call me? "

'since I can't keep the telepathetic link for very long, I will cut to the cause,
I am here to give you a challenge, when you think you are strong enough on the future, come back here to battle, if you win l will become your pokemon.'

"What?!/bunny?!" said the human and his pokemon partner, both even more shocked.

"I don't get it, why me? If you want a trainer, I am sure that many champions, would be happy to have you."

'because non have a connection to me.'

"connection?"

'Every legendary pokemon, have a human that are born with a spiritual connection with them, when said human dies another with the connection will be born, only a human born with a connection too a specific legendary, can catch said legendary. You are recently the human with a connection to me, but that doesn't mean I will just let you catch me. You must prove yourself to be powerful enough by beating me in battle, only then we will become truly connected.'

"I see, very well then, I accept your challenge. Once I became strong enough, I will come back here and battle you."

'I know you will and I am looking forward to it, deal?'

"Deal."

And they shook hands.

"Bye-bye! Victini! See you in a few years!"

"scor-bunny! Bun! scor!"

"victini-vini! vic-ti!"

And just like that, our hero's journey begins.
