Ash's Little Sister [Pokémon]

Challenge of the Samurai

While walking in the forest, Riley and Pikachu were eating together a red apple that the mouse Pokémon got from a tree. "Ash, do you want a bite?" Riley asked her big brother, holding up her apple. Ash chuckled as he took it, "Sure, thanks."

Just when Ash was about to take a bite from the apple, Misty screams once again. "What's wrong now?" Ash asked before taking a bite from the apple. Misty pointed to the side, "I think I see another bug, gross!" The little girl gasped in excitement, "Where? Where?"

"Maybe it's a..." Ash started, "Cow-terpie." Misty looked at him in annoyance while he chuckled, "That's not funny! You know I hate bugs, and I saw one right over there!"

A small bug Pokémon was crawling toward the kids, and Misty hid behind Ash. Ash grinned, "A Weedle!" He pulled out his Pokédex, "Weedle. The stinger on this Pokémon's head guarantees that any attacker will get the point right where it hurts."

"A stinger, huh, now that is a challenge," Ash muttered. "Why are you so excited about a bug with a stinger? Make it go away!" Misty said. "But, I thought we'll catch it," Riley said. "You got that right," Ash said before holding up Pidgeotto's Poké Ball and threw it, "Pidgeotto, I choose you!"

The bird Pokemon got out from the Poké Ball, standing tall in from of the small bug pokemon. "Pidgeotto, Gust Attack!" Ash ordered. Pidgeotto used the attack, sending Weedle flying backward.

Flying high in the air, Pidgeotto swooped down and send the shocked Weedle tumbling about all over the ground, dizzy and disorientated. "Wow," Riley said as she picked Pikachu to her arms.

Weedle held it's head down to show the horn and went forward to strike. "Pidgeotto, watch out from it's Poison Sting!" Ash called and the bird Pokémon twisted aside so that Weedle will miss, then turned and swooped down once again, sending Weedle flying and crashing to the ground again.

"Okay, here we go," Ash said as he pulled out a Poké ball, "Weedle I've got you now." Pikachu's ears moved, "Pi?" He looked over Riley's shoulder to see a kid that was dressed as a samurai walking toward them. "Pika?"

"Greetings," The boy told them, making the three kids look at him. "Which one of you are the Pokémon Trainer who comes from Pallet?"

"I'm a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet, but I'm a little busy," Ash said. "I have found you at last," the boy said before pulling out a sword and hold it down mere centimetres from Ash's face. "Ash!" Riley said worriedly. "Pika pi!" Pikachu said.

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?!" Misty asked. "T-That sword doesn't scare me," Ash said, "There's no way you're stealing my Pokémon."

"I am no Pokémon thief," the boy said. "Who are you then?" Misty asked as Riley ran to stand in front of her brother and looked up at the samurai boy. Ash quickly placed his hand on Riley's shoulder and pushed her to his side.

The boy pulled his sword away, "I am samurai, I am also shrewd, fearless and completely invincible in combat!" He looked at Ash, "I have been searching the forest for you!"

"What do you want from me?" Ash asked. "A Pokémon match!" the boy answered as he held up his Poké ball, "Let us see who triumphs!"

Riley looked at the boy in confusion, "You weird." Pikachu tilted his head, "Pi." Ash quickly turned around, "I forgot about Weedle!"

The Worm Pokémon wasn't at the same place it was, and it was crawling away for the group. "I've got it," Ash said before throwing the Poké ball toward Weedle, but the worm Pokémon got away. Riley sighed sadly, "Oh, Weedle..."

Ash groaned in annoyance and held Pidgeotto's Poké ball, "Pidgeotto, return." Pidgeotto went back into the Poké ball before Ash turned to the samurai boy angrily, "That Weedle only got away because you got me distracted."
