The Journey of Ash Ketchum(Kanto)

Melvin the Magician

Melvin the Magician

The gang were at a carnival having fun, they went on rides, ate ice cream, etc. They were planning on where to ride next until they saw a woman yelling at a man with a black top hat & a green magician uniform. Next to the were six pink egg-like Pokémon.

"I had enough, I quit!" The woman yelled

"Please, I promise to pay you." The man said

"If you're gonna pay, then pay me now." The woman scowled

"I can't, not right now." The man said "But as soon as I get some customers, I will

"& who do you think is going to watch your show?" The woman said

"..." The man said in silence

"That's what I thought." The woman scoffed as she left

"Oh, that's just swell." The man sighed.

"Sir, are you okay?" Ash asked

"I'm fine, I've had better days." The man said

"What was that all about?" Ash asked

"I'm a magician, but I'm not very popular, I'm working really hard on my magic act. So far, I can do the simplest of magic" The magician said as he snapped his fingers & a flower appeared in his hand & gave it to Serena

"Wow, that's incredible." Serena said in awe

"Thank you, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Melvin." Melvin introduced with a tip of his hat

"I'm Ash, & these are my partners Pikachu & Meowth" Ash introduced

"Pika Pika." Pikachu greeted

"Hello." Meowth greeted

"I'm Serena & this is my partner Eevee." Serena introduced

"Eevee." Eevee greeted.

"& I'm Brock." Brock said

"Pleased to meet you, this Pokémon here is my partner Exeggcute." Melvin introduced his Pokémon

"Exeggcute." Exeggcute greeted as Serena pulled out her Rotom Phone

Exeggcute, the Egg Pokémon, A Grass & Psychic Type. Exeggcute is made up of six eggs that communicate with one another using telepathy. Crabrawler sometimes seeks out this Pokémon to pick a fight, but it can't stand up to Exeggcute's psychic powers.

"Anyway, my dream is to have my own show in Las Vegas & perform my magic act before a huge audience." Melvin said before he sighed "Unfortunately, I haven't made any progress, I guess it's time for us to give up on our dream."

"Exeggcute." Exeggcute sadly agreed

"You're not giving up that easy, are you?" Ash asked

"Well—" Melvin said before being interrupted

"If your show's that bad, then you should learn some new tricks." Serena suggested "You should never give up, until it's over."

"You also need to have confidence in yourself." Ash pointed out

"But how?" Melvin asked "How am I supposed to learn some new tricks, I don't even have an inspiration for that, not to mention I don't have any confidence."

"Then let's have a Pokémon battle." Ash said

"What?" Melvin said surprisingly

"If you & I have a battle, maybe you'll get your inspiration." Ash said
