The Child of Mew

Chapter IV

Ash had won two Badges, now he only has six more to go and he can enter the Indigo Plateau League.

"So we're off to Vermilion City, right?" Ash said as they walked down the path.

"Of course. Vermilion City's got lots of great sights, the ocean and a huge luxury ship I've been dying to see." Misty said dreamily.

Ash had seen Vermilion City before, it was a beautiful city with little pollution and many great ships. A lot of rich people uses these ships.

"There's also a great Gym at the city. I'm sure you could get your third Badge there." Brock said.

"Ohhh, Ashie. It's been a while since we've been to Vermilion City, hasn't it? Maybe we could get on some more of those fancy yats." Nya had that same dreamily look in her eyes as Misty.

Ash remembered the first time he and Mew teleported to Vermilion City. Mew was so fascinated by all the big fancy yats that she decided to Transform both herself and him into a 'wealthy family'. Using her powers, she created the currency neccessary to ride aboard the biggest luxury ship on port. Ash loved watching all the rich Pokemon Trainers using their Pokemon for battleing, showing off on a stage or just putting on accessories for a Contest in a different Region.

The boy couldn't help but find himself daydreaming what the next yat would be like and hope Mew would allow Brock and Misty to share the experience this time as he would like to share the experience with his friends.

"I see everyone here is excited to get to Vermilion City, but we have to find a way to get there first." Brock said, snapping them out of their yat dreams.

"Geez Ash, didn't think you'd be the type to enjoy luxury ships." Storm smirked.

"Come on, the sooner we get there, the sooner I can get another Badge." Ash quickly said, trying to cover up the fact he was daydreaming.

"Actually, we should take the scenic route. Vermilion City isn't going anywhere, we should just enjoy the journey itself rather then the destination." Nya suggested to Ash.

Nya's right, while traveling we should always enjoy the scenic route. I could always pass it off as 'getting lost'. Misty won't like it, but it's worth it and I may find some new Pokemon along the way. Ash thought with a grin.

Some time during the walk, Ash decided to stop and train his Pokemon. Brock and Misty decided to take a nap. While the two humans were sleeping, Nya decided it was her training style time. The Meowth reverted back to Mew.

"Ashie, since the other two are asleep now and there's no one else in sight, let's give your Pokemon a little extra training, shall we?" Mew suggested with a devious grin she was so infamous for.

This made Storm gulped and sweatdropped. The last time Mew had him under her special training, he and poor Remi almost had their tails cut off by stubborn Krabby and pelted with sharp rocks.

"I guess we could. Come on out everyone!" Ash released all four of his Pokemon from the Pokeballs: Flutter the Butterfree. Gale the Pidgeotto. Remi and the Ratatta and Luna the Clefairy.

"What's up, Ash? Are we training?" Flutter asked.

"We sure are." Ash nodded as Storm sweated.

"Ooh, what are Luna and friends going to do?" Luna asked eagerly.

They are always so eager until after the harsh training. Storm knew this well and so does Remi.
