[Note: Please don't leave any mean or dirty comments about this story, other than that, please enjoy.]
The GS ball at the Orange islands.
After the end of the Pokémon league of Kanto, Ash returned to Pallet, and that was when Professor Oak asked him for a favor. Ash: “You want me to get a special Pokéball from the Orange islands for you?” Professor Oak: “Yes, Professor Ivy tried to get it here, but the transporter does not seem to work on it for some reason, nor can it be opened… at least that's what she told me, and I was hoping you can get it for me.” Ash: “Sure thing, where is it?” Professor Oak: “It's currently at the Orange islands, which is south from the Kanto region here, you'll need to travel their by ship.” Ash: “Alright.” so with that, Ash went off to Vermillion city, along with Misty and Brock, before getting on a ship that takes them to an island where Professor Ivy lives. Misty: “Is this really the place?” Ash: “I don't know, the building has the address that Professor Oak gave me, and it looks like a lab.” Brock: “Maybe she's out doing some research.” Misty: “Hey… there's a Gyarados at the beach…” Ash: “So?” Misty: “Well… there's somebody riding on it.” said Misty, pointing at what looked like a woman riding on the head of a Gyarados. Once they got to the beach to get a closer look, they saw that it was noun other than Professor Ivy (voiced by Kayzie Rogers) herself, and once she got to the sand, she puts on her lab coat. Professor Ivy: “Is one of you named Ash from Pallet town?” Ash: “Yeah, that's me.” Professor Ivy: “Professor Oak told me you were coming, I'm Professor Ivy, come with me to the lab.” Brock: “Wow… she's hot…” said Brock while blushing a little and had hearts for eyes. Misty: “Snap out of it Romeo, I doubt she's interested in someone she just met.” said Misty, before the group went to the lab, and Professor Ivy shows the group what looked like a Pokéball, but the top was gold, and the bottom was silver, and the letters 'G' and 'S' were on it too. Ash: “What kind of Pokéball is that?” Professor Ivy: “Not sure, I discovered it a week ago, washed up on the beach, I tried to open it, but no matter what I used, it wouldn't budge or left a scratch, and when I tried using the transporter, it didn't work either.” Misty: “Wow… and it has the letters, 'G' and 'S' on it.” Professor Ivy: “Yes, due to that, I decided to call it the GS ball, which is like short for Gold and Silver, cause that's the colors of it.” Ash: “That makes sense.” Professor Ivy: “Anyway, I hope you can take the GS ball to Professor Oak so he can take a look and see if he can find anything.” Ash: “Sure thing, and don't worry, we'll get it to him.” Professor Ivy: “Good, I wish you a safe journey back.” so with that, Ash and the others were on their way back to the boat, when a little ball rolled over in front of them and released some sort of sleeping gas, knocking them out cold. By the time the group woke up, they see that they were all in a cage, inside a blimp. Misty: “What the?!, where are we?!” Brock: “I think we got captured and taken hostage.” Misty: “What gave you that hint?!, the fact we got knocked out by sleeping gas or the fact we're in a cage?!” Ash: “I'm more worried about who did it.” asked Ash, before the Team Rocket trio came to the scene with an evil laugh.” Meowth: “Got cha now twerps.” Ash: “Team Rocket!” Misty: “Not again…” Jessie: “Yes again, and now we're taking you to the boss.” said Jessie, before the blimp started to shake up a little, like it has lost power. Meowth went over to the controls and gasped. Meowth: “Guys!, the controls have been destroyed!” Jessie: “What?!, how?!” Meowth: “I don't know… and more importantly, what happened to Pikachu?” James: “What do you mean?” Meowth: “The cage we put Pikachu in was empty and broken.” this made Ash and the other feel either puzzled or worried, before Pikachu himself came over to the group. Ash: “Pikachu!, what happened?” Pikachu: [I used my Iron tail to escape… and used it on the blimp's controls to get us down.] Ash: “Uh… but won't that mean we'll crash?” Pikachu: [Yeah… I didn't think the plan all the way through…] said Pikachu, before the blimp starts to fall, who knows what could be next as the journey continues.
The lost Lapras.
Last time, Ash and his friends went to the Orange islands to collect a special Pokéball, called the GS ball, from Professor Ivy, and trouble brewed for our heroes as they ended up in Team Rocket's blimp which ended up crashing into another island. Luckily for our heroes, they managed to get out alive and unharmed, and it turns out they ended up on a populated island as well. Suddenly, Pikachu and Ash head a cry for help, which came from the beach nearby. Once our heroes got to the beach, they were shocked to see what they were seeing. It was a little Lapras being beaten up by a bunch of Krabby, following orders from Damian, the trainer that abandoned Ash's Charizard when he was still a Charmander. Damian: “Stop squirming runt!, you're gonna be my ride to win the Orange league!” Lapras: [Help!] Ash: “Hey!, leave her alone!” shouted Ash, who along with his friends, came to the beach. Damian: “Hey I remember you!” Ash: “Damian!, what are you doing here?!” Damian: “Isn't it obvious?, I'm trying to catch this Lapras so I can have a free ride to travel the islands in order to beat the Orange crew.” Misty: “Well I don't know what this Orange crew is, but I know what you're doing to catch Lapras is wrong!” Damian: “Oh please, you can't tell me what to do, Krabby, you all teach these losers a lesson!” ordered Damian, before his group of Krabby charges towards our heroes. Ash was about to send Pikachu to attack, when someone shouted 'hold it!', causing everyone to stop and turned to see a teen around Brock's age. His name was Tracy (voiced by Ted Lewis), and he was a Pokémon watcher. The teen went to examine the Krabby and Pikachu, and did some sketches of them. Tracy: “Just as I thought, these Krabby have been poorly cared for… but the Pikachu is in perfect shape.” Ash: “Uh… thanks I guess…” Damian: “Hey!, get out of the way!, we're in the middle of a battle here!, get lost or I'll have to force ya!, in fact… Krabby, you all take him down with that rat!” shouted Damian, before the Krabby jumped to attack, only for Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to give both the Krabby group and Damian the shock of their lives, sending them all flying out of the scene. Once the Krabby and Damian were gone, Ash went over to Lapras, who was scared by the sight of him. Lapras: [Please… don't come any closer… I didn't do anything wrong… don't hurt me…] said Lapras with a cry, before Ash went to pet her, trying to give her comfort. Ash: “It's okay, Damian and his Krabby are all gone now, they won't bother you anymore… and don't worry, I won't hurt you.” Lapras: [Y-you're not?” Ash: “Of course not, I promise.” Lapras: [Wait… you can… understand me?] Ash: “Yeah… it's a gift I have for a while… trust me… I will not hurt you.” said Ash, as he continued to pet Lapras, unaware that Tracy was listening to what the boy said, and he was surprised. Tracy: “That kid… he can understand what Lapras is saying…?” said Tracy in a quiet tone, before Ash turned to the others. Ash: “Is there a Pokémon center nearby?” Tracy: “Yes, I believe so, I'll go get Nurse Joy right away.” some time later, Nurse Joy and our heroes brought Lapras to a swimming pool outside of the Pokémon center, where the water/ice type can recover. Ash went to pull out his Pokédex to learn more about the water/ice type. Pokédex: [Lapras is the Transport Pokémon of the water/ice type, it prefers giving people rides on it's back over battles.] after he puts his Pokédex back into his pocket, the Nurse Joy of the island, came over to him. Ash: “Nurse Joy… is Lapras gonna be okay?” Nurse Joy: “She'll make a full recovery… but I fear the mantle injuries are I'm more concerned about… I mean she's only a baby by the looks of it, and when some of the workers here try to help her, she tries to away to the center of the pool, trying to avoid everyone.” Misty: “No surprise after the way that creep Damian treated her…” Tracy: “Excuse me Ash, but uh… do you have the ability to speak to Pokémon?” Ash: “What?!, uh… what makes you…” Tracy: “Well I overheard you talking to Lapras earlier, and it sounded like you understood her.” Ash: “Um… well… the thing is… that's supposed to be a secret… the only people who knows it besides myself is my mom, misty, Brock, Gary, and Professor Oak.” Tracy: “Wait… the Professor Oak?!” Ash: “You know him?” Tracy: “Well of course, he's my idol, he was once one of the greatest Pokémon watchers back in his youth, and I happened to be one myself, but how do you know him?” Misty: “Ash is from Pallet town like the professor, and he got his license and Pikachu from him as well.” Tracy: “That makes sense.” Brock: “Hey… speaking of Professor Oak, we better give him a call.” Ash: “Good idea.” so with that, Ash makes a call with Professor Oak, who was happy to hear that the group got the GS Ball. Professor Oak: “Good to know you got it.” Ash: “Yeah, by the way, I heard something about an Orange crew here, who are they?” Professor Oak: “They're the special gym leaders of the Orange islands, like the ones in Kanto, but their challenges are a little different, and tougher, if you beat all four of them, you'll not only get their badges, but get a chance to battle the Orange league champion, Drake.” Ash: “Wow… sounds like a challenge I'd like to try out.” Professor Oak: “I'm guessing you want to do it.” Ash: “Yeah.” Professor Oak: “Tell you what, as soon as you're finished with the Orange league, come back with the GS ball.” Ash: “Sure thing, thanks.” said Ash, before the call ended, and Tracy was amazed. Tracy: “I can't believe that I got to meet people who knows Professor Oak personally, say uh… would you mind if I tag along for a while?, I mean I can help ya as a guide.” Ash: “Sure thing, but please keep my ability to talk to Pokémon a secret, okay?” Tracy: “Cross my heart, you have my word, besides I doubt a lot of people would believe me anyway.” Misty: “He makes a good point.” suddenly, Lapras let out a loud cry for help, as the Team Rocket trio were forcing her to get inside a truck. Jessie: “Quit crying, you're the boss's Lapras now.” James: “Indeed, this will be perfect for the boss.” Meowth: “That's right.” said the trio, before Ash and the others went outside. Ash: “Lapras!” shouted Ash, as he jumps onto the truck, as it drives away from the Pokémon center. Misty: “Ash!” Tracy: “Is he crazy?!” Brock: “No, he's just being Ash.” said Brock, before he, Misty and Tracy follow the truck. As for Ash, he and Pikachu went on top and swung into the drivers seat to try stopping the trio from going any further. Pikachu: [Uh oh…] Meowth: “What are you… uh oh…” Jessie: “What's… oh…” James: “Cliff!” shouted James, as the truck falls over a cliff, heading towards the sea. Ash knew that the impact could hurt Lapras, so he throws out a Pokéball that catches the water/ice type, meaning he had caught her just in the nick of time as he hits the water. After some time swimming, Ash made it back to the beach, where he meets the others and lets out Lapras at last. Ash: “Hey Lapras… are you okay?” Lapras: [I… think so… you saved me…] Ash: “Of course I did, because unlike that jerk Damian, I care about a Pokémon's well being.” Lapras: [So I see… thank you…] Pikachu: [So uh… you don't mind being Ash's now?” Lapras: [Well… I didn't want to be caught… but this human risked his life to save me… and has been so kind to me… and… it's not like I can go back to my pod…] Ash: “What do you mean?” Lapras: [My pod… are all gone… thanks to bad humans that called themselves pirates… lead by a mean man named Captain Crook… who captured every member of my pod… except me… thanks to my mother… now I'm all alone…] said Lapras as she began to cry, and Ash couldn't help but cry a little too, couldn't bare the thought of the terrible fate of Lapras' pod. Ash: “I'm so sorry Lapras… I promise that I'll take good care of you from now on…” Lapras: [Really?] Ash: “Yes… I'll help you get stronger, maybe strong enough to make those pirates pay.” Lapras: [… Thank you…] said Lapras, as she begins to nuzzle Ash to show affection and gratitude, while the boy's friends couldn't helped but feeling touched by the moment. Tracy: “That kid is something else.” Brock: “You can say that again…” and so Ash has not only saved a baby Lapras but also caught her as well, and who knows what awaits for Ash on the Orange islands as the journey continues.
The Mikan island gym challenge.
A new day has come to the Orange islands as Ash, Misty, Brock, and their new friend, Tracy, was riding on Lapras, who agreed to let them ride on her back as she wanted to help her trainer in anyway she can. Ash: “Hey Lapras, if you get tired, let me know, okay?” Lapras: [Sure thing, but I'm okay, besides this is the least I can do to help you after helping me more than once.] said Lapras, before Ash pets her on the head. Tracy: “Wow, I still can't believe Ash has the ability to talk to Pokémon.” Misty: “Yeah, it sure surprised us the first time too.” Brock: “Yeah… so where the closet island?” Tracy: “I believe that would be Mikan island, which is also the island where the first member of the Orange crew is located.” Ash: “Then that's our next stop, let's go!” Lapras: [You got it!] soon, they got to Mikan island, and Pikachu and Ash found a picked up a coconut, but once that happened, a bucket of water fell on top of them. That was when a boy named Senta (voiced by Kayzie Rogers), came to the scene laughing. Senta: “Ha, ha, ha!, you should have seen your faces!” Ash: “Hey!, what's the idea?!” Senta: “Just testing to see how dumb you are to fall for such an obvious trap.” Ash: “Well it's not funny, and anyway I'm here to challenge the Mikan island gym leader.” Senta: “Oh yeah?, what makes you think your tough enough for Cissy?” Ash: “Well I competed in the Pokémon league in Kanto.” Senta: “How far?” Ash: “Uh… the top 16…” Senta: “Ha!, if that's how far you've gone, then you have no chance, the Orange crew are way tougher than the challenges in Kanto, and if you want to battle her, then face me first.” said Senta, before Cissy (voiced by Tara Jane), who is Senta's older sister and the Mikan island gym leader came to the scene. Cissy: “And who said you can do that?” Senta: “Cissy?!, I uh…” Cissy: “I thought I told you not to pull pranks on the challengers, and clean up your room half an hour ago?” Senta: “Uh, sorry sis…” said Senta, before he leaves the scene, while Cissy turns to Ash and his friends. Cissy: “Sorry about my little brother, I hope you're not angry.” Ash: “No it was kind of my fault for not seeing the trap… so you're the gym leader here?” Cissy: “That's right, Cissy the Mikan island gym leader at your service.” said Cissy, before Brock went over to her with heart shaped eyes. Brock: “Well it's a pleasure to meet you Cissy, I must say you're even prettier in person~.” said Brock, before Misty grabs Brock by the ear and pulls him away. Misty: “Knock it off Brock, I doubt she's interested in you if ya keep flirting out of the blue.” said Misty as she pulls Brock away. Ash: “Anyway, I was hoping if I can challenge ya for your gym badge, if you have time.” Cissy: “Of course I accept, but I must tell you that the challenges here is a bit different compared to the battles in Kanto.” Ash: “How so?” asked Ash, before Cissy pressed a button from a remote, and a line of cans appeared with a pool for a battlefield. Cissy: “Here's the first challenge, which happens to be a Water Gun challenge, to test a Pokémon accuracy on how many can they can knock down.” Tracy: “That's an interesting challenge for sure.” said Tracy, before Cissy sends out what looked like a seahorse Pokémon, and Ash pulls out his Pokédex to find out more about it. Pokédex: [Seadra is the evolved form of a seahorse Pokémon called Horsea, it has a reputation of having a horrible disposition, but has both strength and speed.] Ash: “Okay… I choose you, Squirtle!” called out Ash, as he sends out his Squirtle for the challenge. Both of the water types had good aiming, and both managed to hit as many cans as they could until they both hit the final one. Then the challenge got harder when the water types had to use Water Gun on flying plates, but they managed to get them all and both hit the last plate, ending the round with a draw. Cissy: “Not bad, but now it's time to break the draw with some wave surfing.” Ash: “Hoe does that work?” Cissy: “You have to ride on the back of your Pokémon, and swim up to the buoy, go around it and get back to the beach first.” Ash: “Got it, in that case, I'll use Lapras.” said Ash, as he sends out Lapras for the challenge. Once they got to the beach, Ash rides on Lapras while Cissy rides on her Blastoise, which is the fully evolved form of Squirtle. However, once they got to the buoy, a Magikarp based submarine burst out of the water, and out of it came the Team Rocket trio themselves. Jessie: “Got you now twerp.” James: “And Pikachu too.” Meowth: “That's right!” Cissy: “Who are they?” Ash: “It's Team Rocket, they're here for my Pokémon!” Cissy: “Well in that case… Blastoise, use Hydro Cannon!” called out Cissy, before her Blastoise fires water from it's cannons at the submarine, sending it flying into the sky with the Team Rocket trio. Ash: “Nice…” Cissy: “I might challenge differently from the gym leaders of Kanto, but that doesn't mean I can't battle at all.” Ash: “Good to hear… so back to the race?” Cissy: “Yeah… let's do this!” said Cissy, before she and Ash continued the race and once the pair got close to the beach, Ash and Lapras got to it first by an inch, thanks to using Ice Beam on the sea to slide to the shore, meaning the boy and his Lapras has won the challenge. Lapras: [Uh… did we win?] Ash: “Yeah, we did it!, thanks to you.” Cissy: “Well done Ash, you did well, as proof for beating me, here is the Coral-Eye badge.” said Cissy, before giving Ash the badge. Ash: “Thanks Cissy… alright, I got the Coral-Eye badge!” Pikachu: [Awesome!] Lapras: [Hooray!] Tracy: “Wow… Ash and Lapras did great…” Misty: “Yeah, they sure did…” Brock: “Though I have a feeling that the other gym leaders will just be as challenging.” and so Ash has earned his first Orange island gym badge, meaning he needs 3 more to go. Who knows what's next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Mandarin island Hi Jynx.
It was a nice day when Ash and the gang were riding on Lapras and heading towards a place called Mandarin island, searching for a place to stretch out their legs for a bit. Ash: “Well… better go find the gym leader here.” Tracy: “Sorry Ash, but the next member of the Orange crew is not on this island.” Ash: “Oh man…” Brock: “Cheer up Ash, why don't we stick around here for bit, just to stretch out our legs?” Ash: “Yeah, staying on Lapras' back can tire you out… uh… no offense meant.” said Ash, looking at the water/ice type. Lapras: [That's okay, I could use a break myself.] said Lapras, before Ash returns her into her Pokéball. Suddenly, a human shaped Pokémon with blonde hair and big kissing lips came to the scene, and Ash went to pull out his Pokédex to check it out. Pokédex: [Jynx is the Human shape Pokémon, this psychic/ice type has a special attack called the Lovely Kiss, which is a kiss based attack that puts it's opponent into a deep sleep.] Pikachu: [It can put others to sleep with just a kiss?] Ash: “That's what the Pokédex says…” Tracy: “Pikachu!, look out!” cried out Tracy, trying to warn Pikachu that Jynx was approaching towards and looms over him. But it was too late, Jynx grabbed Pikachu, picked him up right off the ground, and the psychic/ice type had a smile on her face. Jynx: [What do I have here?, a cute little mouse eh?, I'll bet you're dying to have your first kiss from me~… pucker up~.] said Jynx, before she puckers up her lips, ready to kiss the electric type, who managed to dodge it, only for Jynx to try again and again. Pikachu: [Ash!, anyone!, help!] Misty: “Watch out!, that must be the Lovely Kiss attack!” shouted Misty, before Jynx finally got her lips smacked centered onto Pikachu's own lips. Once the lips were connected, Jynx had her lips glowed for a bit, and once the glow was gone, Jynx began to suck Pikachu's own lips as she released the kiss with a loud smacking pop sound. Once the kiss was released, Pikachu's eyes turned into swirls and fainted, as a sign he was in a deep sleep like the what the Pokédex said. That was when Jynx glowed and vanished from the scene, taking Pikachu with her, much to Ash's shock and horror. Ash: “Pikachu!, that Jynx stole Pikachu!” Brock: “Don't worry, we'll find them.” Tracy: “Jynx couldn't have teleported too far.” Misty: “I don't understand why would that Jynx steal Pikachu in the first place.” Tracy: “That's a good point, hmm… I wonder if that Jynx has a trainer that's ordering it to steal Pikachu.” Ash: “But who would do such a thing?” Misty: “Someone who would steal Pokémon from other trainers… wait… I wonder… could it be Team Rocket?” Brock: “I wouldn't be surprised if it was them, but since when did they had a Jynx?” Ash: “I don't care how if it was them or not!, I gotta get Pikachu back!” that was when the Officer Jenny of the island showed up, and she was in search of the Jynx too it seems. Officer Jenny: “That Jynx has been stealing Pokémon from other trainers by using the Lovely Kiss and Teleport for a couple of days now… and I still got any closer to catching the culprit.” that was when the Team Rocket trio showed up, ready to steal Pikachu again, only to see that the electric type was nowhere to be seen. Jessie: “Hey, where's Pikachu?” Ash: “You should know as you took him!” James: “What are you talking about?, we didn't steal Pikachu, not yet at least.” Meowth: “Would we have come here if we did?” Ash: “Uh…” suddenly, Jynx appeared in front of the Team Rocket trio, and got a hold a hold on Meowth before using her Lovely Kiss attack to knock him out cold. Just before Jynx could Teleport, Ash grabbed a hold of the blonde hair and he got teleported with the Pokémon. Misty: “Ash!” Jessie and James: “Meowth!” Brock: “They're gone!” Tracy: “But to where?” asked Tracy, while the others were looking worried for the well being of both Ash and Meowth. Meanwhile, inside a warehouse, Jynx appeared and puts Meowth into a cage with other Pokémon that were in a deep sleep, including Pikachu. It wasn't long before Ash pins Jynx down to the ground, looking really mad. Ash: “You got some nerve kidnapping my Pikachu like that!” Jynx: [Wait please!, I didn't wanted to kidnap the poor cutie, but it's just… I had to do it… for my trainer's safety…] Ash: “Your trainer's safety?, what do you mean?” Jynx: [Wait… you can… understand me?] Ash: “Yeah… but tell me, what do you mean by it's for your trainer's safety?” Jynx: [Well… my trainer and I were visiting this island to get some relaxation… but then someone threw a bomb of sleeping gas on us… and by the time I woke up, my trainer was taken hostage by those terrible people… they said if I wanted her to be free again… I have to capture as many Pokémon I can that come to this island… I'm so sorry…] said Jynx as she began to cry a little bit. Ash: “There, there, don't cry, I understand now, you were just protecting your trainer… tell you what, how about I help you free her and you'll help me free the other Pokémon, deal?” Jynx: [Really?!, oh thank you young man!, oh I just wanna kiss you right now!] said Jynx, before she grabs Ash and tries to kiss him, while the boy tries his best to avoid it. Ash: “Jynx!, let me go!, if you kiss me then I'll fall asleep too!” Jynx: [Oh right, sorry… sometimes I just can't help myself.] said Jynx, as she finally lets Ash got from her grip, and that was when a pair of shadows loomed over the pair, revealing to be Cassidy and Butch themselves. Cassidy: “Look who it is.” Butch: “The twerp who messed up our plans back at Lavender town and Celadon city.” Ash: “Cassidy and Biff?!” Butch: “Ah!, the name is Butch!” Ash: “So you're the ones who forced Jynx to steal the other trainers' Pokémon!, including my Pikachu!” Cassidy: “Well of course, we needed a way to collect a lot of Pokémon for the boss without harming ourselves, and what better way to do it by using a Jynx to knock them out?” Butch: “Which is what's about to happen to you.” Ash: “We'll see about that, Charizard, I choose you!” called out Ash, before Charizard came out, ready for battle. While Ash deals with the Team Rocket duo, Jynx quietly steals the key from Butch and uses it to unlock the cage and then went off to the room where her trainer is being held. Outside of the warehouse, the sounds of the explosions caught the attention of Officer Jenny and the others. Misty: “What's that?” Officer Jenny: “I'm not sure, but I'm gonna find out.” Tracy: “Don't forget us, for it could be Ash.” Brock: “Yeah, he did got teleported with Jynx, so that might be where he is along with the other Pokémon.” Officer Jenny: “Alright, but we better hurry.” so with that, the kids and Officer Jenny ran off towards the warehouse. Back with Jynx, she got to the cell where her trainer was being held, and it wasn't long before she used the key to free her trainer at last. It wasn't long before Officer Jenny and the others came into the building and sees Ash and Charizard battling the Team Rocket duo. Brock: “So it was Team Rocket!” Misty: “Yeah, just the other ones.” Jessie: “Cassidy!, you and Biff have some nerve on stealing Meowth from us!” James: “Stealing from other trainers is one thing, but stealing from your own fellow members of Team Rocket?!” Butch: “First off my name is Butch!, and secondly, it was your own Meowth's fault for letting Jynx catch him in the first place.” that was when Pikachu woke up and he had a disgusted look on his face while Ash came over to him. Pikachu: [Blah!, that Jynx kissed me!] Ash: “Oh come on Pikachu, it could have been a lot worse, I mean you could have been kissed by Meowth for example.” said Ash, before Meowth woke up with an offended look on his face. Meowth: “Hey!, a kiss from me can't be that gross!” Ash: “Yeah it would.” Meowth: “Oh yeah?!… wait… how did you know what Pikachu said?” Ash: “Uh… lucky guess?” Meowth: “Hmm…” that was when Jynx came to the scene, and she was not alone, this time she was with her trainer, who was someone that everyone but Ash knew. The trainer was a woman named Lorelei (voiced by Jayne Grand), who happens to be a member of the Elite 4 of Kanto. Lorelei: “Sorry if my Jynx caused some trouble, but I'm here now.” Misty: “No way… it's Lorelei!, in the flesh!” Ash: “You know her?” Tracy: “You're kidding right?!, that's Lorelei!, she's one of the Elite 4 of Kanto.” Ash: “What?!, really?!” Lorelei: “That's right, and Team Rocket used me as hostage to force my poor Jynx to do their bidding.” Brock: “How did they beat you?” Lorelei: “They didn't battle me, they used some sleeping gas on me and Jynx when we got to this island.” Officer Jenny: “So that's what happened…” Butch: “Ah!, she's escaped!” Cassidy: “We have to get out here, Biff!” Butch: “The name is Butch!” Lorelei: “Jynx, use your Ice Beam to send them away!” called out Lorelei, before Jynx used a powerful Ice Beam to freeze the Team Rocket duo into a big block of ice, and then used Psychic to send them flying into the sky and out of the scene. Ash: “Whoa… what power…” Lorelei: “Pardon me young man, but are you the one who helped my Jynx here?” Ash: “Yeah, that's me.” Lorelei: “Thank you so much, I can see with my own eyes that you're a kind boy with a huge love for Pokémon.” said Lorelei, before she gives Ash a big hug, which made him blush a little bit, while the others were either shocked or jealous in Brock's case. Then Lorelei went over to Pikachu, who the woman picked up off the ground, giving him a big hug too and then a kiss on his forehead, causing him to blush a well. Lorelei: “Aren't you just the cutest thing~.” Brock: “Oh man… I wished that was me…” Misty: “Not even in your dreams…” Tracy: “Well a lot of girls have a soft spot for cute little Pokémon like Pikachu.” Misty: “Yeah, that's very true.” said Misty, before Lorelei hands over Pikachu back to his trainer. Lorelei: “You know, when you become strong enough, you and I could have a battle.” Ash: “Really?, that would be a real honor miss.” Lorelei: “Of course, but only when you and your Pokémon are strong enough to handle big league trainers in the future.” Ash: “Sure thing.” and so Ash has helped Jynx save her trainer from Team Rocket and got back Pikachu. Who knows what could be next for our hero as the journey continues.
Navel maneuvers.
It was a nice day at the seas of the Orange islands, when Ash and his friends were riding on Lapras to travel to the next island. Tracy: “Hmm… we must be close to Navel island by now.” Ash: “That's where the second member of the Orange crew is located, right?” Tracy: “Yes, I believe so.” Brock: “I wonder what kind of challenge this one will have?” Ash: “What do you mean?” Brock: “Well you remember what Cissy said about the challenges the Orange crew gives are a bit different compared to the gym leaders in Kanto, right?” Ash: “Oh yeah… well whatever challenge awaits there for me, I'm sure it'll be interesting.” said Ash, before they finally got to an island, and there was a sign that said 'Welcome to Navel island' on it. Ash: “Hmm… I don't see any gym buildings… or anyone for that matter…” Tracy: “Hey, there's someone coming.” said Tracy, before a man, who was riding on a sail boat, came on shore and came up to the group. His name was Danny (voiced by Jim Malone), and he seems to be a challenger, at least that's what the group believes him to be. Danny: “Hello there, are you here to challenge the gym leader here?” Ash: “Yeah, that's me, the others are just here to watch, I take it you're here to challenge the gym leader too?” Danny: “You could say that, my name's Danny, and I can take you to where you'll have your challenge.” Misty: “How kind of you.” Danny: “Well of course, always happy to help out a lady.” Misty: “My, you're a charmer.” said Misty, before they others got to where the gym's gate should be, and when they got through, there was a cable car that leads to the top of the island's mountain. Pikachu: [Hey Ash, look at this.] said Pikachu, before Ash got to a sign that Pikachu was referring to. Ash: “What's this?” Danny: “Those are the rules, the gym leader only accepts challengers who can climb up the mountain without the aid of their Pokémon, otherwise they'll lose automatically, while the others will take the cable car.” Misty: “Is that even safe?” Brock: “Well it does make it challenging…” Tracy: “And it will help Ash learn that there will be times that you have to do things without the aid of his Pokémon.” Ash: “Well if those are the rules, I'll have to follow them… besides it's not like I'll be facing wild Pokémon while climbing right?” Danny: “Of course not, it's perfectly safe, I've climbed up the mountain many times.” Ash: “Wow!, you must be a great climber.” Danny: “I don't know if I'm that good, it's just that this mountain is not that hard to climb once you get the hang of it.” said Danny, before he and Ash begin to climb up the mountain, while the others were using the cable car. Suddenly, while climbing up the mountain, the Team Rocket trio showed up and used a robotic arm with a rubber glove, attached to their balloon, to capture Pikachu. Ash: “Pikachu!” Jessie: “Finally!, we caught Pikachu!” James: “And we know the twerp can't fight back without breaking the rules of not using his Pokémon while climbing.” Meowth: “Yeah, and there's nobody that can stop us, not even the dumb writer of this story!” said Meowth, before he turned blue and covered his mouth as he realized what he just said. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a lightning bolt hits the balloon and sends the Team Rocket trio flying while Pikachu landed into Ash's arms. Jessie: “You just had to insult the writer, didn't you?!” Meowth: “Sorry…” James: “This is why you should never mess with a story writer…” Team Rocket Trio: “Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!” shouted the Team Rocket trio as they were blasting off into the sky and out of the scene. Ash: “Well that takes care of them for a while…” said Ash, before he and Pikachu continue to climb up the mountain, until they finally reached the top, where they see snow and ice. Ash: “Where's the gym leader?” asked Ash, before he noticed that Danny was standing on the other side of the battlefield. Danny: “That would be me.” Ash: “Huh?!” Danny: “You see, I pretend to be another challenger to make sure the trainers are following the rules, I hope you can understand that.” Ash: “Yeah, I guess that makes sense.” said Ash, before Misty, Brock and Misty came to the scene with blankets wrapped around them. Misty: “I kinda figured Danny was the gym leader…” Brock: “Yeah, me too… guess us being former gym leaders or gym leaders in training would help us know who would be one.” Tracy: “You two are gym leaders?” Misty: “Kind of, I'm training to be the gym leader of Cerulean city.” Brock: “And I was the substitute gym leader of Peter city.” Tracy: “Interesting…” Danny: “Now here's what you must do, it's a three round challenge, and the one who wins two out of three will win.” Ash: “Got it.” Danny: “Now the first challenge is to freeze a hot water geyser by using a Pokémon that knows Ice Beam.” Ash: “Alright then, I choose Lapras!” called out Ash, as he sends out Lapras to freeze one of the water geysers, while Danny sends out his Nidoqueen. Both of the trainers' Pokémon used ice beam, but Nidoqueen managed to freeze her geyser first, allowing Danny to win the first round. The second round was to carve the ice into a sled with three Pokémon, so Ash sends out Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Charizard, while Danny sends out his Nidoqueen, a Machoke and a Scyther. Danny's team used brute force while Ash's team used Flamethrower, Vine Whip and Iron tail to carve the ice into the right shape, and Ash's team managed to finish it before Danny's could, allowing Ash to win the second round. Now the final round was for the pair to ride on the sled down the mountain to the beach with three Pokémon with them. Danny uses his own Geodude, a large Pokéball like Pokémon called Electrode, and his Scyther, while Ash uses Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. For Danny to steer his sled, his Scyther does the steering, while Ash lets his Bulbasaur steer with his Vine Whip. As they went down, both sleds were going really fast, which excites both Ash and his Pokémon. Once the terrain changed from snow to rock, the sleds were next to one another, and Ash's sled got there first by an inch, meaning he won the challenge. Pikachu: [Did we win?] Ash: “Yeah!, we did it, little buddy!” said Ash with joy, before Danny came up to him. Danny: “Well done Ash, you certainly been a fun challenger, as proof of beating me, here is the Sea Ruby badge.” said Danny, as he gives the boy the gym badge. Ash: “Thanks Danny… alright!, we got the Sea Ruby badge!” Pikachu: [Awesome!] Misty: “Well… two down… and two more to go before he can challenge the Orange league champion.” Brock: “Yeah.” Tracy: “This will be perfect to sketch.” said Tracy, as he was making a sketch of Ash with his Pokémon as they were cheering for earning the badge. And so Ash has beaten Danny and earned the Sea Ruby badge, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
Snack attack.
Somewhere at the seas of the Orange islands, it was close to lunch time as Ash and his friends were riding on Lapras, heading towards a small group of islands that Tracy's map said they were called the seven Grapefruit islands, which were known for their large and bountiful grapefruit harvest. Once they got to one of the islands, Ash was ready to pick one when a girl named Ruby (voiced by Tara Jane), came to the scene and accused the group for being thieves. Ash: “Wait a second!, we're not thieves!, we didn't even knew the Grapefruit belonged to someone!” Ruby: “Save it for the judge, men, get them!” shouted Ruby, as her men began to charge towards the group. Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt attack that knocked out the men, much to Ruby's shock. Ruby: “No way… what a Thunderbolt…” Misty: “What's your problem?!, we only just got here and this is how you treat all newcomers?!” Ruby: “Sorry, but we're only trying to protect our well grown grapefruits from a thief that's been stealing our harvest for some time now.” Tracy: “Any clue who it is?” Ruby: “No, so when I saw you picking the Grapefruit…” Ash: “That's okay, we should have checked to see if it belonged to someone first.” that was when a staff member showed up and told Ruby that the real thief has been found, but also told her that she wouldn't believe it. Soon, the group got to where the thief was, which turned out to be a Snorlax, much to everyone's surprise. Ash pulls out his Pokédex to find out more about it. Pokédex: [Snorlax is the sleeping Pokémon, when it's not sleeping, it eats hundreds of pounds of food.] Brock: “This can't be good, Snorlax won't stop eating until it's hunger is satisfied, and it has a huge appetite.” Tracy: “I'm pretty curious about how a Snorlax ended up here in the first place…” Misty: “I'm more concerned about how do we stop it from eating all the Grapefruits?” Ash: “Hmm… it's a long shot, but if I can catch Snorlax, maybe that can stop him from eating the Grapefruit.” Brock: “It's worth a try, but catching a Snorlax isn't gonna be easy.” Ash: “I know, but I have to try.” said Ash, before he sends out Bulbasaur to battle. When Bulbasaur tries to use Bullet Seed, Snorlax got mad and used Body Slam, which knocked out Bulbasaur right away. Ash tried to send out Squirtle to take on Snorlax, but just like Bulbasaur, Snorlax takes out the water type with a Body Slam. Misty: “Oh man… poor Bulbasaur and Squirtle…” Brock: “Ash, I think it would be wise to use one of your larger Pokémon to battle Snorlax.” Ash: “Okay, but which one?, the only Pokémon I have with me that are big enough are either Lapras or Charizard.” Tracy: “I think Charizard might be the better choice as Lapras is still a baby, so she might not have a big chance against Snorlax.” Ash: “Alright… I choose you, Charizard!” called out Ash, as he sends out Charizard to battle. Charizard: [So… I'm battling this guy?] Ash: “Yeah, be careful though, he's tough, he took down both Bulbasaur and Squirtle.” Charizard: [Really… well I'm not gonna be taken down so easily.] Snorlax: [Can't I just eat peacefully?] Ash: “Not if it means destroying the harvest here, the people here worked really hard to make those Grapefruit.” Snorlax: [Wait… you can understand me?] Ash: “Yeah, but never mind that, I'm gonna catch ya and stop you from eating all the Grapefruit on this island and the other islands.” Snorlax: [If you want to catch me… then you'll have to beat me… and although I prefer eating and sleeping, I am quite a battler.] said Snorlax, before he and Charizard went to battle, and it was intense as both Pokémon were real powerhouses. Finally, Snorlax was beginning to feel weak, which gives Ash the chance to throw his Pokéball and catch him at last. Ash: “Alright!, I caught Snorlax!” Pikachu: [Awesome!] Charizard: [Ha!, that Snorlax was strong, but I pulled through.] Ash: “Yeah you sure did.” said Ash, feeling proud of his fully evolved fire type. Some time later, Ash went to the island's Pokémon center to get Snorlax and his other Pokémon healed from their battle, and helped Snorlax get fed so he'll stop eating all the Grapefruit. Snorlax: [Ah… that hit the spot…] Ash: “Hey uh… I hope you don't mind me asking… how did you get to this island in the first place?, I mean it's obvious you're not from here.” Snorlax: [I swam here of course.] Pikachu: [You can swim?] Snorlax: [Of course, I might not look it, but I'm a really good swimmer, let me show you.] said Snorlax, before he jumps into the sea and started stroking through the water, much to everyone's surprise. Ash: “Wow… you really can swim…” Snorlax: [Told ya.] Tracy: “Huh… that would explain how Snorlax got here in the first place.” suddenly, a large tank appeared, and it had a hose that was sucking all the grapefruit inside it. Ruby came to the scene and was shocked by the sight of the tank. Ruby: “You got to be kidding!, first that Snorlax, now this?!” it wasn't long before the Team Rocket trio came out of the tank, laughing as they hold some grapefruit in their hands. Jessie: “These fruit should be worth a few bucks.” James: “And to fill our stomachs too.” Meowth: “That's right!” Ash: “Give those grapefruit back!, they belong to the people who grew them!” Jessie: “What are you gonna do about it?” Ash: “… Snorlax, help us stop these guys.” said Ash, before Snorlax released a powerful Hyper Beam that not only destroys the tank, but sends the Team Rocket trio flying. Team Rocket Trio: “Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!” shouted the Team Rocket trio, as they blasted off out of the scene. Ash: “Well that takes care of them.” Ruby: “Oh thank you Ash, I thought for sure that those people were gonna get away with the Grapefruit.” Ash: “It was no problem, just happy I can help, but it's Snorlax who stopped them.” Ruby: “Maybe, but you're it's trainer now, so you deserve as much credit… tell you what, how about I give you and your friends some of our grapefruit.” Ash: “Really?, is that okay?” Ruby: “Of course, it's the least I can do to thank you for saving the islands' harvest.” said Ruby, before she gives some grapefruit to Ash and his friends, who were happy with their new fruit. And so Ash has saved the grapefruit and caught Snorlax, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.

The GS ball at the Orange islands.
After the end of the Pokémon league of Kanto, Ash returned to Pallet, and that was when Professor Oak asked him for a favor. Ash: “You want me to get a special Pokéball from the Orange islands for you?” Professor Oak: “Yes, Professor Ivy tried to get it here, but the transporter does not seem to work on it for some reason, nor can it be opened… at least that's what she told me, and I was hoping you can get it for me.” Ash: “Sure thing, where is it?” Professor Oak: “It's currently at the Orange islands, which is south from the Kanto region here, you'll need to travel their by ship.” Ash: “Alright.” so with that, Ash went off to Vermillion city, along with Misty and Brock, before getting on a ship that takes them to an island where Professor Ivy lives. Misty: “Is this really the place?” Ash: “I don't know, the building has the address that Professor Oak gave me, and it looks like a lab.” Brock: “Maybe she's out doing some research.” Misty: “Hey… there's a Gyarados at the beach…” Ash: “So?” Misty: “Well… there's somebody riding on it.” said Misty, pointing at what looked like a woman riding on the head of a Gyarados. Once they got to the beach to get a closer look, they saw that it was noun other than Professor Ivy (voiced by Kayzie Rogers) herself, and once she got to the sand, she puts on her lab coat. Professor Ivy: “Is one of you named Ash from Pallet town?” Ash: “Yeah, that's me.” Professor Ivy: “Professor Oak told me you were coming, I'm Professor Ivy, come with me to the lab.” Brock: “Wow… she's hot…” said Brock while blushing a little and had hearts for eyes. Misty: “Snap out of it Romeo, I doubt she's interested in someone she just met.” said Misty, before the group went to the lab, and Professor Ivy shows the group what looked like a Pokéball, but the top was gold, and the bottom was silver, and the letters 'G' and 'S' were on it too. Ash: “What kind of Pokéball is that?” Professor Ivy: “Not sure, I discovered it a week ago, washed up on the beach, I tried to open it, but no matter what I used, it wouldn't budge or left a scratch, and when I tried using the transporter, it didn't work either.” Misty: “Wow… and it has the letters, 'G' and 'S' on it.” Professor Ivy: “Yes, due to that, I decided to call it the GS ball, which is like short for Gold and Silver, cause that's the colors of it.” Ash: “That makes sense.” Professor Ivy: “Anyway, I hope you can take the GS ball to Professor Oak so he can take a look and see if he can find anything.” Ash: “Sure thing, and don't worry, we'll get it to him.” Professor Ivy: “Good, I wish you a safe journey back.” so with that, Ash and the others were on their way back to the boat, when a little ball rolled over in front of them and released some sort of sleeping gas, knocking them out cold. By the time the group woke up, they see that they were all in a cage, inside a blimp. Misty: “What the?!, where are we?!” Brock: “I think we got captured and taken hostage.” Misty: “What gave you that hint?!, the fact we got knocked out by sleeping gas or the fact we're in a cage?!” Ash: “I'm more worried about who did it.” asked Ash, before the Team Rocket trio came to the scene with an evil laugh.” Meowth: “Got cha now twerps.” Ash: “Team Rocket!” Misty: “Not again…” Jessie: “Yes again, and now we're taking you to the boss.” said Jessie, before the blimp started to shake up a little, like it has lost power. Meowth went over to the controls and gasped. Meowth: “Guys!, the controls have been destroyed!” Jessie: “What?!, how?!” Meowth: “I don't know… and more importantly, what happened to Pikachu?” James: “What do you mean?” Meowth: “The cage we put Pikachu in was empty and broken.” this made Ash and the other feel either puzzled or worried, before Pikachu himself came over to the group. Ash: “Pikachu!, what happened?” Pikachu: [I used my Iron tail to escape… and used it on the blimp's controls to get us down.] Ash: “Uh… but won't that mean we'll crash?” Pikachu: [Yeah… I didn't think the plan all the way through…] said Pikachu, before the blimp starts to fall, who knows what could be next as the journey continues.
The lost Lapras.
Last time, Ash and his friends went to the Orange islands to collect a special Pokéball, called the GS ball, from Professor Ivy, and trouble brewed for our heroes as they ended up in Team Rocket's blimp which ended up crashing into another island. Luckily for our heroes, they managed to get out alive and unharmed, and it turns out they ended up on a populated island as well. Suddenly, Pikachu and Ash head a cry for help, which came from the beach nearby. Once our heroes got to the beach, they were shocked to see what they were seeing. It was a little Lapras being beaten up by a bunch of Krabby, following orders from Damian, the trainer that abandoned Ash's Charizard when he was still a Charmander. Damian: “Stop squirming runt!, you're gonna be my ride to win the Orange league!” Lapras: [Help!] Ash: “Hey!, leave her alone!” shouted Ash, who along with his friends, came to the beach. Damian: “Hey I remember you!” Ash: “Damian!, what are you doing here?!” Damian: “Isn't it obvious?, I'm trying to catch this Lapras so I can have a free ride to travel the islands in order to beat the Orange crew.” Misty: “Well I don't know what this Orange crew is, but I know what you're doing to catch Lapras is wrong!” Damian: “Oh please, you can't tell me what to do, Krabby, you all teach these losers a lesson!” ordered Damian, before his group of Krabby charges towards our heroes. Ash was about to send Pikachu to attack, when someone shouted 'hold it!', causing everyone to stop and turned to see a teen around Brock's age. His name was Tracy (voiced by Ted Lewis), and he was a Pokémon watcher. The teen went to examine the Krabby and Pikachu, and did some sketches of them. Tracy: “Just as I thought, these Krabby have been poorly cared for… but the Pikachu is in perfect shape.” Ash: “Uh… thanks I guess…” Damian: “Hey!, get out of the way!, we're in the middle of a battle here!, get lost or I'll have to force ya!, in fact… Krabby, you all take him down with that rat!” shouted Damian, before the Krabby jumped to attack, only for Pikachu to use Thunderbolt to give both the Krabby group and Damian the shock of their lives, sending them all flying out of the scene. Once the Krabby and Damian were gone, Ash went over to Lapras, who was scared by the sight of him. Lapras: [Please… don't come any closer… I didn't do anything wrong… don't hurt me…] said Lapras with a cry, before Ash went to pet her, trying to give her comfort. Ash: “It's okay, Damian and his Krabby are all gone now, they won't bother you anymore… and don't worry, I won't hurt you.” Lapras: [Y-you're not?” Ash: “Of course not, I promise.” Lapras: [Wait… you can… understand me?] Ash: “Yeah… it's a gift I have for a while… trust me… I will not hurt you.” said Ash, as he continued to pet Lapras, unaware that Tracy was listening to what the boy said, and he was surprised. Tracy: “That kid… he can understand what Lapras is saying…?” said Tracy in a quiet tone, before Ash turned to the others. Ash: “Is there a Pokémon center nearby?” Tracy: “Yes, I believe so, I'll go get Nurse Joy right away.” some time later, Nurse Joy and our heroes brought Lapras to a swimming pool outside of the Pokémon center, where the water/ice type can recover. Ash went to pull out his Pokédex to learn more about the water/ice type. Pokédex: [Lapras is the Transport Pokémon of the water/ice type, it prefers giving people rides on it's back over battles.] after he puts his Pokédex back into his pocket, the Nurse Joy of the island, came over to him. Ash: “Nurse Joy… is Lapras gonna be okay?” Nurse Joy: “She'll make a full recovery… but I fear the mantle injuries are I'm more concerned about… I mean she's only a baby by the looks of it, and when some of the workers here try to help her, she tries to away to the center of the pool, trying to avoid everyone.” Misty: “No surprise after the way that creep Damian treated her…” Tracy: “Excuse me Ash, but uh… do you have the ability to speak to Pokémon?” Ash: “What?!, uh… what makes you…” Tracy: “Well I overheard you talking to Lapras earlier, and it sounded like you understood her.” Ash: “Um… well… the thing is… that's supposed to be a secret… the only people who knows it besides myself is my mom, misty, Brock, Gary, and Professor Oak.” Tracy: “Wait… the Professor Oak?!” Ash: “You know him?” Tracy: “Well of course, he's my idol, he was once one of the greatest Pokémon watchers back in his youth, and I happened to be one myself, but how do you know him?” Misty: “Ash is from Pallet town like the professor, and he got his license and Pikachu from him as well.” Tracy: “That makes sense.” Brock: “Hey… speaking of Professor Oak, we better give him a call.” Ash: “Good idea.” so with that, Ash makes a call with Professor Oak, who was happy to hear that the group got the GS Ball. Professor Oak: “Good to know you got it.” Ash: “Yeah, by the way, I heard something about an Orange crew here, who are they?” Professor Oak: “They're the special gym leaders of the Orange islands, like the ones in Kanto, but their challenges are a little different, and tougher, if you beat all four of them, you'll not only get their badges, but get a chance to battle the Orange league champion, Drake.” Ash: “Wow… sounds like a challenge I'd like to try out.” Professor Oak: “I'm guessing you want to do it.” Ash: “Yeah.” Professor Oak: “Tell you what, as soon as you're finished with the Orange league, come back with the GS ball.” Ash: “Sure thing, thanks.” said Ash, before the call ended, and Tracy was amazed. Tracy: “I can't believe that I got to meet people who knows Professor Oak personally, say uh… would you mind if I tag along for a while?, I mean I can help ya as a guide.” Ash: “Sure thing, but please keep my ability to talk to Pokémon a secret, okay?” Tracy: “Cross my heart, you have my word, besides I doubt a lot of people would believe me anyway.” Misty: “He makes a good point.” suddenly, Lapras let out a loud cry for help, as the Team Rocket trio were forcing her to get inside a truck. Jessie: “Quit crying, you're the boss's Lapras now.” James: “Indeed, this will be perfect for the boss.” Meowth: “That's right.” said the trio, before Ash and the others went outside. Ash: “Lapras!” shouted Ash, as he jumps onto the truck, as it drives away from the Pokémon center. Misty: “Ash!” Tracy: “Is he crazy?!” Brock: “No, he's just being Ash.” said Brock, before he, Misty and Tracy follow the truck. As for Ash, he and Pikachu went on top and swung into the drivers seat to try stopping the trio from going any further. Pikachu: [Uh oh…] Meowth: “What are you… uh oh…” Jessie: “What's… oh…” James: “Cliff!” shouted James, as the truck falls over a cliff, heading towards the sea. Ash knew that the impact could hurt Lapras, so he throws out a Pokéball that catches the water/ice type, meaning he had caught her just in the nick of time as he hits the water. After some time swimming, Ash made it back to the beach, where he meets the others and lets out Lapras at last. Ash: “Hey Lapras… are you okay?” Lapras: [I… think so… you saved me…] Ash: “Of course I did, because unlike that jerk Damian, I care about a Pokémon's well being.” Lapras: [So I see… thank you…] Pikachu: [So uh… you don't mind being Ash's now?” Lapras: [Well… I didn't want to be caught… but this human risked his life to save me… and has been so kind to me… and… it's not like I can go back to my pod…] Ash: “What do you mean?” Lapras: [My pod… are all gone… thanks to bad humans that called themselves pirates… lead by a mean man named Captain Crook… who captured every member of my pod… except me… thanks to my mother… now I'm all alone…] said Lapras as she began to cry, and Ash couldn't help but cry a little too, couldn't bare the thought of the terrible fate of Lapras' pod. Ash: “I'm so sorry Lapras… I promise that I'll take good care of you from now on…” Lapras: [Really?] Ash: “Yes… I'll help you get stronger, maybe strong enough to make those pirates pay.” Lapras: [… Thank you…] said Lapras, as she begins to nuzzle Ash to show affection and gratitude, while the boy's friends couldn't helped but feeling touched by the moment. Tracy: “That kid is something else.” Brock: “You can say that again…” and so Ash has not only saved a baby Lapras but also caught her as well, and who knows what awaits for Ash on the Orange islands as the journey continues.
The Mikan island gym challenge.
A new day has come to the Orange islands as Ash, Misty, Brock, and their new friend, Tracy, was riding on Lapras, who agreed to let them ride on her back as she wanted to help her trainer in anyway she can. Ash: “Hey Lapras, if you get tired, let me know, okay?” Lapras: [Sure thing, but I'm okay, besides this is the least I can do to help you after helping me more than once.] said Lapras, before Ash pets her on the head. Tracy: “Wow, I still can't believe Ash has the ability to talk to Pokémon.” Misty: “Yeah, it sure surprised us the first time too.” Brock: “Yeah… so where the closet island?” Tracy: “I believe that would be Mikan island, which is also the island where the first member of the Orange crew is located.” Ash: “Then that's our next stop, let's go!” Lapras: [You got it!] soon, they got to Mikan island, and Pikachu and Ash found a picked up a coconut, but once that happened, a bucket of water fell on top of them. That was when a boy named Senta (voiced by Kayzie Rogers), came to the scene laughing. Senta: “Ha, ha, ha!, you should have seen your faces!” Ash: “Hey!, what's the idea?!” Senta: “Just testing to see how dumb you are to fall for such an obvious trap.” Ash: “Well it's not funny, and anyway I'm here to challenge the Mikan island gym leader.” Senta: “Oh yeah?, what makes you think your tough enough for Cissy?” Ash: “Well I competed in the Pokémon league in Kanto.” Senta: “How far?” Ash: “Uh… the top 16…” Senta: “Ha!, if that's how far you've gone, then you have no chance, the Orange crew are way tougher than the challenges in Kanto, and if you want to battle her, then face me first.” said Senta, before Cissy (voiced by Tara Jane), who is Senta's older sister and the Mikan island gym leader came to the scene. Cissy: “And who said you can do that?” Senta: “Cissy?!, I uh…” Cissy: “I thought I told you not to pull pranks on the challengers, and clean up your room half an hour ago?” Senta: “Uh, sorry sis…” said Senta, before he leaves the scene, while Cissy turns to Ash and his friends. Cissy: “Sorry about my little brother, I hope you're not angry.” Ash: “No it was kind of my fault for not seeing the trap… so you're the gym leader here?” Cissy: “That's right, Cissy the Mikan island gym leader at your service.” said Cissy, before Brock went over to her with heart shaped eyes. Brock: “Well it's a pleasure to meet you Cissy, I must say you're even prettier in person~.” said Brock, before Misty grabs Brock by the ear and pulls him away. Misty: “Knock it off Brock, I doubt she's interested in you if ya keep flirting out of the blue.” said Misty as she pulls Brock away. Ash: “Anyway, I was hoping if I can challenge ya for your gym badge, if you have time.” Cissy: “Of course I accept, but I must tell you that the challenges here is a bit different compared to the battles in Kanto.” Ash: “How so?” asked Ash, before Cissy pressed a button from a remote, and a line of cans appeared with a pool for a battlefield. Cissy: “Here's the first challenge, which happens to be a Water Gun challenge, to test a Pokémon accuracy on how many can they can knock down.” Tracy: “That's an interesting challenge for sure.” said Tracy, before Cissy sends out what looked like a seahorse Pokémon, and Ash pulls out his Pokédex to find out more about it. Pokédex: [Seadra is the evolved form of a seahorse Pokémon called Horsea, it has a reputation of having a horrible disposition, but has both strength and speed.] Ash: “Okay… I choose you, Squirtle!” called out Ash, as he sends out his Squirtle for the challenge. Both of the water types had good aiming, and both managed to hit as many cans as they could until they both hit the final one. Then the challenge got harder when the water types had to use Water Gun on flying plates, but they managed to get them all and both hit the last plate, ending the round with a draw. Cissy: “Not bad, but now it's time to break the draw with some wave surfing.” Ash: “Hoe does that work?” Cissy: “You have to ride on the back of your Pokémon, and swim up to the buoy, go around it and get back to the beach first.” Ash: “Got it, in that case, I'll use Lapras.” said Ash, as he sends out Lapras for the challenge. Once they got to the beach, Ash rides on Lapras while Cissy rides on her Blastoise, which is the fully evolved form of Squirtle. However, once they got to the buoy, a Magikarp based submarine burst out of the water, and out of it came the Team Rocket trio themselves. Jessie: “Got you now twerp.” James: “And Pikachu too.” Meowth: “That's right!” Cissy: “Who are they?” Ash: “It's Team Rocket, they're here for my Pokémon!” Cissy: “Well in that case… Blastoise, use Hydro Cannon!” called out Cissy, before her Blastoise fires water from it's cannons at the submarine, sending it flying into the sky with the Team Rocket trio. Ash: “Nice…” Cissy: “I might challenge differently from the gym leaders of Kanto, but that doesn't mean I can't battle at all.” Ash: “Good to hear… so back to the race?” Cissy: “Yeah… let's do this!” said Cissy, before she and Ash continued the race and once the pair got close to the beach, Ash and Lapras got to it first by an inch, thanks to using Ice Beam on the sea to slide to the shore, meaning the boy and his Lapras has won the challenge. Lapras: [Uh… did we win?] Ash: “Yeah, we did it!, thanks to you.” Cissy: “Well done Ash, you did well, as proof for beating me, here is the Coral-Eye badge.” said Cissy, before giving Ash the badge. Ash: “Thanks Cissy… alright, I got the Coral-Eye badge!” Pikachu: [Awesome!] Lapras: [Hooray!] Tracy: “Wow… Ash and Lapras did great…” Misty: “Yeah, they sure did…” Brock: “Though I have a feeling that the other gym leaders will just be as challenging.” and so Ash has earned his first Orange island gym badge, meaning he needs 3 more to go. Who knows what's next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Mandarin island Hi Jynx.
It was a nice day when Ash and the gang were riding on Lapras and heading towards a place called Mandarin island, searching for a place to stretch out their legs for a bit. Ash: “Well… better go find the gym leader here.” Tracy: “Sorry Ash, but the next member of the Orange crew is not on this island.” Ash: “Oh man…” Brock: “Cheer up Ash, why don't we stick around here for bit, just to stretch out our legs?” Ash: “Yeah, staying on Lapras' back can tire you out… uh… no offense meant.” said Ash, looking at the water/ice type. Lapras: [That's okay, I could use a break myself.] said Lapras, before Ash returns her into her Pokéball. Suddenly, a human shaped Pokémon with blonde hair and big kissing lips came to the scene, and Ash went to pull out his Pokédex to check it out. Pokédex: [Jynx is the Human shape Pokémon, this psychic/ice type has a special attack called the Lovely Kiss, which is a kiss based attack that puts it's opponent into a deep sleep.] Pikachu: [It can put others to sleep with just a kiss?] Ash: “That's what the Pokédex says…” Tracy: “Pikachu!, look out!” cried out Tracy, trying to warn Pikachu that Jynx was approaching towards and looms over him. But it was too late, Jynx grabbed Pikachu, picked him up right off the ground, and the psychic/ice type had a smile on her face. Jynx: [What do I have here?, a cute little mouse eh?, I'll bet you're dying to have your first kiss from me~… pucker up~.] said Jynx, before she puckers up her lips, ready to kiss the electric type, who managed to dodge it, only for Jynx to try again and again. Pikachu: [Ash!, anyone!, help!] Misty: “Watch out!, that must be the Lovely Kiss attack!” shouted Misty, before Jynx finally got her lips smacked centered onto Pikachu's own lips. Once the lips were connected, Jynx had her lips glowed for a bit, and once the glow was gone, Jynx began to suck Pikachu's own lips as she released the kiss with a loud smacking pop sound. Once the kiss was released, Pikachu's eyes turned into swirls and fainted, as a sign he was in a deep sleep like the what the Pokédex said. That was when Jynx glowed and vanished from the scene, taking Pikachu with her, much to Ash's shock and horror. Ash: “Pikachu!, that Jynx stole Pikachu!” Brock: “Don't worry, we'll find them.” Tracy: “Jynx couldn't have teleported too far.” Misty: “I don't understand why would that Jynx steal Pikachu in the first place.” Tracy: “That's a good point, hmm… I wonder if that Jynx has a trainer that's ordering it to steal Pikachu.” Ash: “But who would do such a thing?” Misty: “Someone who would steal Pokémon from other trainers… wait… I wonder… could it be Team Rocket?” Brock: “I wouldn't be surprised if it was them, but since when did they had a Jynx?” Ash: “I don't care how if it was them or not!, I gotta get Pikachu back!” that was when the Officer Jenny of the island showed up, and she was in search of the Jynx too it seems. Officer Jenny: “That Jynx has been stealing Pokémon from other trainers by using the Lovely Kiss and Teleport for a couple of days now… and I still got any closer to catching the culprit.” that was when the Team Rocket trio showed up, ready to steal Pikachu again, only to see that the electric type was nowhere to be seen. Jessie: “Hey, where's Pikachu?” Ash: “You should know as you took him!” James: “What are you talking about?, we didn't steal Pikachu, not yet at least.” Meowth: “Would we have come here if we did?” Ash: “Uh…” suddenly, Jynx appeared in front of the Team Rocket trio, and got a hold a hold on Meowth before using her Lovely Kiss attack to knock him out cold. Just before Jynx could Teleport, Ash grabbed a hold of the blonde hair and he got teleported with the Pokémon. Misty: “Ash!” Jessie and James: “Meowth!” Brock: “They're gone!” Tracy: “But to where?” asked Tracy, while the others were looking worried for the well being of both Ash and Meowth. Meanwhile, inside a warehouse, Jynx appeared and puts Meowth into a cage with other Pokémon that were in a deep sleep, including Pikachu. It wasn't long before Ash pins Jynx down to the ground, looking really mad. Ash: “You got some nerve kidnapping my Pikachu like that!” Jynx: [Wait please!, I didn't wanted to kidnap the poor cutie, but it's just… I had to do it… for my trainer's safety…] Ash: “Your trainer's safety?, what do you mean?” Jynx: [Wait… you can… understand me?] Ash: “Yeah… but tell me, what do you mean by it's for your trainer's safety?” Jynx: [Well… my trainer and I were visiting this island to get some relaxation… but then someone threw a bomb of sleeping gas on us… and by the time I woke up, my trainer was taken hostage by those terrible people… they said if I wanted her to be free again… I have to capture as many Pokémon I can that come to this island… I'm so sorry…] said Jynx as she began to cry a little bit. Ash: “There, there, don't cry, I understand now, you were just protecting your trainer… tell you what, how about I help you free her and you'll help me free the other Pokémon, deal?” Jynx: [Really?!, oh thank you young man!, oh I just wanna kiss you right now!] said Jynx, before she grabs Ash and tries to kiss him, while the boy tries his best to avoid it. Ash: “Jynx!, let me go!, if you kiss me then I'll fall asleep too!” Jynx: [Oh right, sorry… sometimes I just can't help myself.] said Jynx, as she finally lets Ash got from her grip, and that was when a pair of shadows loomed over the pair, revealing to be Cassidy and Butch themselves. Cassidy: “Look who it is.” Butch: “The twerp who messed up our plans back at Lavender town and Celadon city.” Ash: “Cassidy and Biff?!” Butch: “Ah!, the name is Butch!” Ash: “So you're the ones who forced Jynx to steal the other trainers' Pokémon!, including my Pikachu!” Cassidy: “Well of course, we needed a way to collect a lot of Pokémon for the boss without harming ourselves, and what better way to do it by using a Jynx to knock them out?” Butch: “Which is what's about to happen to you.” Ash: “We'll see about that, Charizard, I choose you!” called out Ash, before Charizard came out, ready for battle. While Ash deals with the Team Rocket duo, Jynx quietly steals the key from Butch and uses it to unlock the cage and then went off to the room where her trainer is being held. Outside of the warehouse, the sounds of the explosions caught the attention of Officer Jenny and the others. Misty: “What's that?” Officer Jenny: “I'm not sure, but I'm gonna find out.” Tracy: “Don't forget us, for it could be Ash.” Brock: “Yeah, he did got teleported with Jynx, so that might be where he is along with the other Pokémon.” Officer Jenny: “Alright, but we better hurry.” so with that, the kids and Officer Jenny ran off towards the warehouse. Back with Jynx, she got to the cell where her trainer was being held, and it wasn't long before she used the key to free her trainer at last. It wasn't long before Officer Jenny and the others came into the building and sees Ash and Charizard battling the Team Rocket duo. Brock: “So it was Team Rocket!” Misty: “Yeah, just the other ones.” Jessie: “Cassidy!, you and Biff have some nerve on stealing Meowth from us!” James: “Stealing from other trainers is one thing, but stealing from your own fellow members of Team Rocket?!” Butch: “First off my name is Butch!, and secondly, it was your own Meowth's fault for letting Jynx catch him in the first place.” that was when Pikachu woke up and he had a disgusted look on his face while Ash came over to him. Pikachu: [Blah!, that Jynx kissed me!] Ash: “Oh come on Pikachu, it could have been a lot worse, I mean you could have been kissed by Meowth for example.” said Ash, before Meowth woke up with an offended look on his face. Meowth: “Hey!, a kiss from me can't be that gross!” Ash: “Yeah it would.” Meowth: “Oh yeah?!… wait… how did you know what Pikachu said?” Ash: “Uh… lucky guess?” Meowth: “Hmm…” that was when Jynx came to the scene, and she was not alone, this time she was with her trainer, who was someone that everyone but Ash knew. The trainer was a woman named Lorelei (voiced by Jayne Grand), who happens to be a member of the Elite 4 of Kanto. Lorelei: “Sorry if my Jynx caused some trouble, but I'm here now.” Misty: “No way… it's Lorelei!, in the flesh!” Ash: “You know her?” Tracy: “You're kidding right?!, that's Lorelei!, she's one of the Elite 4 of Kanto.” Ash: “What?!, really?!” Lorelei: “That's right, and Team Rocket used me as hostage to force my poor Jynx to do their bidding.” Brock: “How did they beat you?” Lorelei: “They didn't battle me, they used some sleeping gas on me and Jynx when we got to this island.” Officer Jenny: “So that's what happened…” Butch: “Ah!, she's escaped!” Cassidy: “We have to get out here, Biff!” Butch: “The name is Butch!” Lorelei: “Jynx, use your Ice Beam to send them away!” called out Lorelei, before Jynx used a powerful Ice Beam to freeze the Team Rocket duo into a big block of ice, and then used Psychic to send them flying into the sky and out of the scene. Ash: “Whoa… what power…” Lorelei: “Pardon me young man, but are you the one who helped my Jynx here?” Ash: “Yeah, that's me.” Lorelei: “Thank you so much, I can see with my own eyes that you're a kind boy with a huge love for Pokémon.” said Lorelei, before she gives Ash a big hug, which made him blush a little bit, while the others were either shocked or jealous in Brock's case. Then Lorelei went over to Pikachu, who the woman picked up off the ground, giving him a big hug too and then a kiss on his forehead, causing him to blush a well. Lorelei: “Aren't you just the cutest thing~.” Brock: “Oh man… I wished that was me…” Misty: “Not even in your dreams…” Tracy: “Well a lot of girls have a soft spot for cute little Pokémon like Pikachu.” Misty: “Yeah, that's very true.” said Misty, before Lorelei hands over Pikachu back to his trainer. Lorelei: “You know, when you become strong enough, you and I could have a battle.” Ash: “Really?, that would be a real honor miss.” Lorelei: “Of course, but only when you and your Pokémon are strong enough to handle big league trainers in the future.” Ash: “Sure thing.” and so Ash has helped Jynx save her trainer from Team Rocket and got back Pikachu. Who knows what could be next for our hero as the journey continues.
Navel maneuvers.
It was a nice day at the seas of the Orange islands, when Ash and his friends were riding on Lapras to travel to the next island. Tracy: “Hmm… we must be close to Navel island by now.” Ash: “That's where the second member of the Orange crew is located, right?” Tracy: “Yes, I believe so.” Brock: “I wonder what kind of challenge this one will have?” Ash: “What do you mean?” Brock: “Well you remember what Cissy said about the challenges the Orange crew gives are a bit different compared to the gym leaders in Kanto, right?” Ash: “Oh yeah… well whatever challenge awaits there for me, I'm sure it'll be interesting.” said Ash, before they finally got to an island, and there was a sign that said 'Welcome to Navel island' on it. Ash: “Hmm… I don't see any gym buildings… or anyone for that matter…” Tracy: “Hey, there's someone coming.” said Tracy, before a man, who was riding on a sail boat, came on shore and came up to the group. His name was Danny (voiced by Jim Malone), and he seems to be a challenger, at least that's what the group believes him to be. Danny: “Hello there, are you here to challenge the gym leader here?” Ash: “Yeah, that's me, the others are just here to watch, I take it you're here to challenge the gym leader too?” Danny: “You could say that, my name's Danny, and I can take you to where you'll have your challenge.” Misty: “How kind of you.” Danny: “Well of course, always happy to help out a lady.” Misty: “My, you're a charmer.” said Misty, before they others got to where the gym's gate should be, and when they got through, there was a cable car that leads to the top of the island's mountain. Pikachu: [Hey Ash, look at this.] said Pikachu, before Ash got to a sign that Pikachu was referring to. Ash: “What's this?” Danny: “Those are the rules, the gym leader only accepts challengers who can climb up the mountain without the aid of their Pokémon, otherwise they'll lose automatically, while the others will take the cable car.” Misty: “Is that even safe?” Brock: “Well it does make it challenging…” Tracy: “And it will help Ash learn that there will be times that you have to do things without the aid of his Pokémon.” Ash: “Well if those are the rules, I'll have to follow them… besides it's not like I'll be facing wild Pokémon while climbing right?” Danny: “Of course not, it's perfectly safe, I've climbed up the mountain many times.” Ash: “Wow!, you must be a great climber.” Danny: “I don't know if I'm that good, it's just that this mountain is not that hard to climb once you get the hang of it.” said Danny, before he and Ash begin to climb up the mountain, while the others were using the cable car. Suddenly, while climbing up the mountain, the Team Rocket trio showed up and used a robotic arm with a rubber glove, attached to their balloon, to capture Pikachu. Ash: “Pikachu!” Jessie: “Finally!, we caught Pikachu!” James: “And we know the twerp can't fight back without breaking the rules of not using his Pokémon while climbing.” Meowth: “Yeah, and there's nobody that can stop us, not even the dumb writer of this story!” said Meowth, before he turned blue and covered his mouth as he realized what he just said. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a lightning bolt hits the balloon and sends the Team Rocket trio flying while Pikachu landed into Ash's arms. Jessie: “You just had to insult the writer, didn't you?!” Meowth: “Sorry…” James: “This is why you should never mess with a story writer…” Team Rocket Trio: “Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!” shouted the Team Rocket trio as they were blasting off into the sky and out of the scene. Ash: “Well that takes care of them for a while…” said Ash, before he and Pikachu continue to climb up the mountain, until they finally reached the top, where they see snow and ice. Ash: “Where's the gym leader?” asked Ash, before he noticed that Danny was standing on the other side of the battlefield. Danny: “That would be me.” Ash: “Huh?!” Danny: “You see, I pretend to be another challenger to make sure the trainers are following the rules, I hope you can understand that.” Ash: “Yeah, I guess that makes sense.” said Ash, before Misty, Brock and Misty came to the scene with blankets wrapped around them. Misty: “I kinda figured Danny was the gym leader…” Brock: “Yeah, me too… guess us being former gym leaders or gym leaders in training would help us know who would be one.” Tracy: “You two are gym leaders?” Misty: “Kind of, I'm training to be the gym leader of Cerulean city.” Brock: “And I was the substitute gym leader of Peter city.” Tracy: “Interesting…” Danny: “Now here's what you must do, it's a three round challenge, and the one who wins two out of three will win.” Ash: “Got it.” Danny: “Now the first challenge is to freeze a hot water geyser by using a Pokémon that knows Ice Beam.” Ash: “Alright then, I choose Lapras!” called out Ash, as he sends out Lapras to freeze one of the water geysers, while Danny sends out his Nidoqueen. Both of the trainers' Pokémon used ice beam, but Nidoqueen managed to freeze her geyser first, allowing Danny to win the first round. The second round was to carve the ice into a sled with three Pokémon, so Ash sends out Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Charizard, while Danny sends out his Nidoqueen, a Machoke and a Scyther. Danny's team used brute force while Ash's team used Flamethrower, Vine Whip and Iron tail to carve the ice into the right shape, and Ash's team managed to finish it before Danny's could, allowing Ash to win the second round. Now the final round was for the pair to ride on the sled down the mountain to the beach with three Pokémon with them. Danny uses his own Geodude, a large Pokéball like Pokémon called Electrode, and his Scyther, while Ash uses Pikachu, Bulbasaur and Squirtle. For Danny to steer his sled, his Scyther does the steering, while Ash lets his Bulbasaur steer with his Vine Whip. As they went down, both sleds were going really fast, which excites both Ash and his Pokémon. Once the terrain changed from snow to rock, the sleds were next to one another, and Ash's sled got there first by an inch, meaning he won the challenge. Pikachu: [Did we win?] Ash: “Yeah!, we did it, little buddy!” said Ash with joy, before Danny came up to him. Danny: “Well done Ash, you certainly been a fun challenger, as proof of beating me, here is the Sea Ruby badge.” said Danny, as he gives the boy the gym badge. Ash: “Thanks Danny… alright!, we got the Sea Ruby badge!” Pikachu: [Awesome!] Misty: “Well… two down… and two more to go before he can challenge the Orange league champion.” Brock: “Yeah.” Tracy: “This will be perfect to sketch.” said Tracy, as he was making a sketch of Ash with his Pokémon as they were cheering for earning the badge. And so Ash has beaten Danny and earned the Sea Ruby badge, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
Snack attack.
Somewhere at the seas of the Orange islands, it was close to lunch time as Ash and his friends were riding on Lapras, heading towards a small group of islands that Tracy's map said they were called the seven Grapefruit islands, which were known for their large and bountiful grapefruit harvest. Once they got to one of the islands, Ash was ready to pick one when a girl named Ruby (voiced by Tara Jane), came to the scene and accused the group for being thieves. Ash: “Wait a second!, we're not thieves!, we didn't even knew the Grapefruit belonged to someone!” Ruby: “Save it for the judge, men, get them!” shouted Ruby, as her men began to charge towards the group. Pikachu unleashed a powerful Thunderbolt attack that knocked out the men, much to Ruby's shock. Ruby: “No way… what a Thunderbolt…” Misty: “What's your problem?!, we only just got here and this is how you treat all newcomers?!” Ruby: “Sorry, but we're only trying to protect our well grown grapefruits from a thief that's been stealing our harvest for some time now.” Tracy: “Any clue who it is?” Ruby: “No, so when I saw you picking the Grapefruit…” Ash: “That's okay, we should have checked to see if it belonged to someone first.” that was when a staff member showed up and told Ruby that the real thief has been found, but also told her that she wouldn't believe it. Soon, the group got to where the thief was, which turned out to be a Snorlax, much to everyone's surprise. Ash pulls out his Pokédex to find out more about it. Pokédex: [Snorlax is the sleeping Pokémon, when it's not sleeping, it eats hundreds of pounds of food.] Brock: “This can't be good, Snorlax won't stop eating until it's hunger is satisfied, and it has a huge appetite.” Tracy: “I'm pretty curious about how a Snorlax ended up here in the first place…” Misty: “I'm more concerned about how do we stop it from eating all the Grapefruits?” Ash: “Hmm… it's a long shot, but if I can catch Snorlax, maybe that can stop him from eating the Grapefruit.” Brock: “It's worth a try, but catching a Snorlax isn't gonna be easy.” Ash: “I know, but I have to try.” said Ash, before he sends out Bulbasaur to battle. When Bulbasaur tries to use Bullet Seed, Snorlax got mad and used Body Slam, which knocked out Bulbasaur right away. Ash tried to send out Squirtle to take on Snorlax, but just like Bulbasaur, Snorlax takes out the water type with a Body Slam. Misty: “Oh man… poor Bulbasaur and Squirtle…” Brock: “Ash, I think it would be wise to use one of your larger Pokémon to battle Snorlax.” Ash: “Okay, but which one?, the only Pokémon I have with me that are big enough are either Lapras or Charizard.” Tracy: “I think Charizard might be the better choice as Lapras is still a baby, so she might not have a big chance against Snorlax.” Ash: “Alright… I choose you, Charizard!” called out Ash, as he sends out Charizard to battle. Charizard: [So… I'm battling this guy?] Ash: “Yeah, be careful though, he's tough, he took down both Bulbasaur and Squirtle.” Charizard: [Really… well I'm not gonna be taken down so easily.] Snorlax: [Can't I just eat peacefully?] Ash: “Not if it means destroying the harvest here, the people here worked really hard to make those Grapefruit.” Snorlax: [Wait… you can understand me?] Ash: “Yeah, but never mind that, I'm gonna catch ya and stop you from eating all the Grapefruit on this island and the other islands.” Snorlax: [If you want to catch me… then you'll have to beat me… and although I prefer eating and sleeping, I am quite a battler.] said Snorlax, before he and Charizard went to battle, and it was intense as both Pokémon were real powerhouses. Finally, Snorlax was beginning to feel weak, which gives Ash the chance to throw his Pokéball and catch him at last. Ash: “Alright!, I caught Snorlax!” Pikachu: [Awesome!] Charizard: [Ha!, that Snorlax was strong, but I pulled through.] Ash: “Yeah you sure did.” said Ash, feeling proud of his fully evolved fire type. Some time later, Ash went to the island's Pokémon center to get Snorlax and his other Pokémon healed from their battle, and helped Snorlax get fed so he'll stop eating all the Grapefruit. Snorlax: [Ah… that hit the spot…] Ash: “Hey uh… I hope you don't mind me asking… how did you get to this island in the first place?, I mean it's obvious you're not from here.” Snorlax: [I swam here of course.] Pikachu: [You can swim?] Snorlax: [Of course, I might not look it, but I'm a really good swimmer, let me show you.] said Snorlax, before he jumps into the sea and started stroking through the water, much to everyone's surprise. Ash: “Wow… you really can swim…” Snorlax: [Told ya.] Tracy: “Huh… that would explain how Snorlax got here in the first place.” suddenly, a large tank appeared, and it had a hose that was sucking all the grapefruit inside it. Ruby came to the scene and was shocked by the sight of the tank. Ruby: “You got to be kidding!, first that Snorlax, now this?!” it wasn't long before the Team Rocket trio came out of the tank, laughing as they hold some grapefruit in their hands. Jessie: “These fruit should be worth a few bucks.” James: “And to fill our stomachs too.” Meowth: “That's right!” Ash: “Give those grapefruit back!, they belong to the people who grew them!” Jessie: “What are you gonna do about it?” Ash: “… Snorlax, help us stop these guys.” said Ash, before Snorlax released a powerful Hyper Beam that not only destroys the tank, but sends the Team Rocket trio flying. Team Rocket Trio: “Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!” shouted the Team Rocket trio, as they blasted off out of the scene. Ash: “Well that takes care of them.” Ruby: “Oh thank you Ash, I thought for sure that those people were gonna get away with the Grapefruit.” Ash: “It was no problem, just happy I can help, but it's Snorlax who stopped them.” Ruby: “Maybe, but you're it's trainer now, so you deserve as much credit… tell you what, how about I give you and your friends some of our grapefruit.” Ash: “Really?, is that okay?” Ruby: “Of course, it's the least I can do to thank you for saving the islands' harvest.” said Ruby, before she gives some grapefruit to Ash and his friends, who were happy with their new fruit. And so Ash has saved the grapefruit and caught Snorlax, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
