“Ash! It’s good to see you,” Professor Oak said. Ash Ketchum walked into Professor Oak’s lab and smiled. Professor Oak hadn’t changed a bit since the last time Ash had seen him. He still wore a white lab coat. Ash figured Professor Oak was too busy studying Pokemon to worry about how he looked. “It’s good to see you, too, Professor,” Ash said. Professor Oak knelt down and patted the little yellow Pokemon at Ash’s side. “You‘re certainly looking well, ‘Plkachu,” Professor Oak said. “Pika!” Pikachu replied happily.
Ash’s three friends walked into the lab behind him. Misty, a Pokemon trainer, had an energetic personality that matched her bright orange hair. She carried Togepi, a tiny Pokemon, in her arms. Brock was studying to become a Pokemon breeder. His eyes glanced around the lab from under his mop of spiky dark hair.
Brock had just met up with Ash and Misty after taking time off to study with ,a famous Pokemon breeder, Professor Ivy.
Tracey was a new friend Ash and Misty had met on their journey to the Orange Islands. He was a Pokemon watcher who studied Pokemon behavior and drew pictures of them. Professor Oak was Tracey’s hero.
“It’s such an honor to finally meet you,” Tracey said, pumping Professor Oak’s hand. “I have some reports of my studies that I’d love to show you. It would mean so much to me.” “I’d be happy to maybe later,” Professor Oak said. “Right now, I’m anxious to get the GS Ball from Ash.” “Right,” Ash said. The reason Ash had traveled to the Orange Islands was to bring the mysterious Poke Ball to Professor Oak.
It couldn’t be transported from one lab to another like most regular Poké Balls. Most Poké Balls were red and white and held captured Pokemon. The GS Ball was gold and silver. No one could figure out how to open it or what was inside.

Ash reached into his backpack and retrieved the shiny ball. He handed it to the professor.
Professor Oak studied the ball, a pleased smile on his face. “Marvelous! Good work, Ash.”
Ash beamed. Professor Oak had started Ash on his Pokemon journey by giving him Pikachu, his very first Pokemon. Ash wanted to make Professor Oak proud. He had made many mistakes on his journey. He had a lot to learn if he was ever going to be a Pokemon Master. Bringing the GS Ball to Professor Oak felt good.
“Well, if it isn’t that loser, Ash Ketchum,” a nasal voice twanged.
Ash knew that voice. It was Gary, Professor Oak’s grandson, and Ash’s
biggest rival. “Who are you calling a loser?” Ash asked.
He and Gary faced each other, nose to nose. Professor Oak stepped between them.
“Gary stopped by for a visit," Professor Oak said. "He wanted to suprise you."
"Some suprise," Ash said under his breath. He turned to Gary.
"I'm no loser. I won the orange islands Winner's cup, you know."
"Big deal" Gary said.
I'm still better than you.
"Oh yeah?" Ash asked.
"These guys argue more that Ash and misty," Tracey remarked.
Ash looked Gary in the eye. "let's settle this once and for all."
"you're on!" Gary said. "Let's battle our best Pokémon.
One-on_one."
Gary reached for a Poké Ball.
“Not in the lab!” Professor Oak said.
The professor and the others followed Ash and Gary outside to the green lawn in front of the lab. A cool spring breeze kicked up, blowing strands of dark hair into Ash’s face. He pulled down his red-and-white cap and stared at Gary. He had to concentrate. He had to win. Pikachu stood next to Ash. The lightning
mouse wore a look of determination on its face.
“My Pokemon will be Pikachu,” Ash said. “Pika!” said Pikachu. “I see,” Gary said. “In that case, I choose
Eevee!”
Gary threw out a red-and-white Poke Ball. A cute, furry Pokemon appeared. Eevee had a bushy tail, pointy ears, and big, dark eyes. “How adorable,” Misty cooed. “That’s not all it is,” Brock said. “That Eevee is in great shape. I’ll bet its powers are tough to beat.” “I’ve heard most trainers use special stones to evolve Revert into Flareon, Jolteon or Vaporeon," Tracey added.
Brock stepped into the grass, halfway between Ash and Gary.
"you two need a referee for this match," Brock said. He cleared his throat, then yelled, "Pikachu versus Eevee. This will be a one-on-one battle, with no time limit!"
Ash didn't waste any time. "Pikachu, Quick attack!"
Pikachu ran across the field so fast it looked like a yellow blur.
Gary acted quickly, too. "Eevee, Reflect!"
At Gary's command, a clear, protective bubble formed around Eevee. Pikachu slammed into the bubble. The bubble burst, and Pikachu bounced backwards. Eevee was thrown into the air, but the Pokémon landed safely on its feet.
