1.Ash's Story (Part 2: Johto)

Chapter 8

Before arriving at Azalea Town, we train with our Chikorita and both Kris' and mine Chikorita evolve into Bayleef in the end. Although that doesn't stop her from trying to hug me and nuzzle me all this time.

Bayleef: The Leaf Pokemon: Grass Type. Evolved from Chikorita at LV:16. A spicy aroma emanates from around its neck. The aroma acts as a stimulant to restore health.

And the next day, I feel a little out of the weather, I don't feel like getting out of the sleeping bag. My Pokemon notice me and they quickly call Lillie and the others to my side.

"Ash, are you alright?" Lillie says in worry as the other 4 rush in, Lillie puts her hand on my forehead and says, "It is hot... Ash has a fever..."

I really don't like to show my weakness, I try to stand up and say, "I...I am...o..." But my body betrayed me and I fell back down again.

Kris says, "He must be getting the fever due to exhaustion."

"Yeah, considering how many things he has done... mostly because of those three idiots..." East mutters.

I try to get up again, but Reisa just puts me down again. "No mister. You must stay here."

"We need to make medicine for him." Kris says.

"Yeah. Since we were at a lake, we should find some refreshing herbs here." Ethan says.

As some of my Pokemon decide to help out, Scizor, Bayleef, Cyndaquil, and Chansey decide to stay with Lillie and take care of me. Bayleef seems to be the most worried, and Lillie says, "Don't worry, Ash will be fine, can you help me get some water?"

The others decide to help, and now Cyndaquil is with Lillie alone. Cyndaquil asks, "What should we do?"

Lillie says, "We must not let Ash leave his bed, he needed to rest."

Scizor and Chansey get a bucket of water and a handkerchief, Bayleef uses its Vine Whip to put the handkerchief in the water and then gives it to Lillie, who places the thing on my forehead, everyone does the same except Cyndaquil, who can't do it since he is a fire type.

Just then, Scizor senses something and both he and Cyndaquil get out of the tent, and after a while, we hear some explosions. Lillie asks, "What's that?"

"It sounds like Cyndaquil!" Chansey says as they all rush out, leaving only me in the tent.

"You three again?" Lillie says in frustration. I have to guess that the trio is here to annoy us once more. After a while, I hear Lillie cheering, "Quilava! You evolved!"

Cyndaquill evolved that soon? That is really awesome. I have to guess that the evolved Quilava manages to send Team Rocket flying again.

Quilava: The Volcano Pokemon: Fire Type. Evolved from Cyndaquil at LV:14. Before battle, it turns its back on its opponent to demonstrate how ferociously its fire blazes.

The others are also back, after hearing what happened, they brought me medicine and I'm starting to recover. The next day, I finally got out of the sleeping bag, although everyone scolded me for being reckless, well, they might be right about that...

We finally arrive at Azalea Town, and although it is actually really hot, it makes us shriveled up. We try to use some Water Type Pokemon to make us better, and while we continue, we notice a Team Rocket grunt standing in front of a man. "Who are you? You don't know us? We are...Team Rocket!"

"But didn't you break up a while ago?" The man asks with shock.

"Give me a break! We haven't broken up! Actually, we did once. But we have come back to pursue Giovanni's ambition." The grunt says. "Enough talking. Shut up and just beat it!"
