Pokemon: Indigo League Remake

Into The Viridian Forest

"Aaaaaaaaaash, can't we take a break?" Complained Asuka.

"Never! I need to catch another pokemon! It's essential for a pokemon trainer!" Ash stated louder than Asuka liked.

Asuka sighed, then smiled.

"Well, looks like there's no stopping him, but that's what I like about him..." She thought with a feint blush on her face, obviously unnoticed by her compatriot.

Ash sees something in the distance, and starts to glow with excitement and runs towards it. Asuka bolts after him, and when she stops, Ash is in front of her holding a poke ball. Across from him is a small green caterpillar pokemon. She watches in awe as Ash throws the poke ball and catches it with ease.

"YES! I CAUGHT A CATERPIE!" Ash exclaims with enough excitement to scare a Charizard.

"Go, Caterpie!" Ash says as he sends out his new friend. After a bit of bonding and a night's rest, the two children set back off through the forest. After a while, Ash spot another pokemon.

"Oh no..." Asuka sighs.

"A PIDGEOTTO!"

Ash takes out his pokedex to scan the new pokemon.

"Pidgeotto, the bird pokemon. A normal and flying type. Pidgeotto flaps it's wings to stir up the ground, using the sand to blind its prey before attacking"

He throws another poke ball but it gets batted away by its wing. It then flies up and starts up a gust attack.

"Pikachu, get in there with quick attack!"

Pikachu runs in and smashes into Pidgeotto, But it strikes back with a wing attack.

"Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu shoots a bolt of lightning at Pidgeotto, but it uses quick attack to go around and knock Pikachu away.

"Pikachu, use another quick attack!"

Pikachu bolts at Pidgeotto as it uses the same move. They collide and Pikachu lands on its feet.

"Thunderbolt, now!"

Pikachu hits Pidgeotto with the attack and it falls to the ground as Ash throws another poke ball, this time successfully catching it.

"Yeah, I caught it!"

"That was awesome!" Asuka pronounces as she hugs him in congratulations.

"Thanks, Asuka!"

They continue on for a bit before they get surrounded by smoke.

"Prepare for trouble"

"And make it double"

"To protect the world from devastation"

"To unite all peoples within our nation"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love"

"To extend our reach to the stars above"

"Jessie"

"James"

"Team rocket blasts off at the speed of light"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight"

"Meowth, that's right"

"Not you guys again," exclaims Ash, exasperated.

"It is us twerp, and we want that Pikachu," James says.

"No! Pikachu, I choose you!"

"Go, Ekans!"

"Koffing, smoke 'em out!"

The three pokemon are sent out, and are now in a face off.

"Thunderbolt!"

"Poison sting!"

"Smog!"

The three attacks collide, causing an explosion.

"Hit 'em with quick attack!"

Pikachu runs in and hits Koffing with the attack, but then Ekans comes out from underground with a dig attack. Pikachu flies back, severely hurt because of its earlier battle and the super-effective attack.

"Pikachu, come back! Go pidgeotto"

Pidgeotto battles the two enemies, but only lands a single quick attack on Ekans before going down.

"My last hope... go Caterpie!"

He sends out caterpie, and orders it to use string shot, encasing the pokemon before tackling them into their masters. Pikachu sends team rocket blasting off again, and Caterpie starts glowing.

"Woah..." Asuka manages to get out before Caterpie successfully evolves.

"Metapod, the cocoon pokemon. A bug type. It's theorized that Metapod only exists to bridge the gap between Caterpie and Butterfree"

"Yeah, now I've got a metapod!"
