Ash and Luxio who were walking side by side completely exhausted and covered in dirt, grime and sweat and blood finally gazed upon the majestic gates of Viridian City...

They were still in a daze by the....majestic bird....they saw after Ash caught Luxio...Luxio sighed happily, 'Finally in Viridian eh?'

Ash smiled, 'Yup! I don't think that we will ever forget this day, eh Luxio?'

'Never...'

As soon as they were going to step foot in Viridian a voice shouted, "HALT!! STATE YOUR BUISENESS IN VIRIDIAN CITY!"

They turned back to see the familiar figure of a woman in blue police uniform on a motorcycle...

Ash waved at her, "Officer Jenny I am just a rookie trainer from Pallet, this is my trainer identity" Ash took out his Pokedex and showed it to Jenny and pressed a single red button on it...

"Hello. I am Dexter. I was programmed by Professor Oak for trainer Ash Ketchum, Trainer Identity #1021AD..." The Pokedex spoke in its mechanical voice.

Jenny nodded, "Wow kid you look like hell..." Ash snorted in amusement and told her, "You don't know half of it...Attacked by a squad of Spearow led by a Fearow...jumping and then scuba diving from a waterfall..."

She openly gaped, "You ARE STILL ALIVE AFTER BEING ATTACKED BY THAT FEAROW FLOCK?!"

"Yeah..." Ash said...She blinked a few times then scoffed, "Hmph! You must be lucky then because I think the lightning must have hit the flock and you escaped in the meantime..."

Ash and Luxio started to chuckle...loudly.

"WHATS SO FUNNY?!" She asked with a throbbing vein on her forehead. Ash only coughed into his hand, "Nothing...nothing..."

Ash started to walk away from the fuming police officer, she scowled, "Just be cautious of shady people. There has been a bunch of pokemon robberies recently" She said as she drove off on her motorcycle.

Ash took the warning well and turned to Luxio who was walking beside him, 'Pokemon robbers? Are they somehow related to your mother's kidnapping perhaps?'

'I don't know Ash but...if they are the same people? I will fry them with electricity and eat their meat!'

Ash blinked, 'Has the evolution made you more...bloodthirsty?'

'The Shinx evolution line is carnivorous by nature. What do you expect?' Luxio said with an eye roll...Ash nodded, 'Point taken...'

Soon after a few minutes of walking they reached the familiar building with a red roof. Ash entered the Pokemon Centre and directly went to Nurse Joy who gasped at their condition...

It was true though...Ash was bleeding at his left arm and his leg hurt so he was limping...And Luxio's normally black mane was covered in blood and grime at some places...

"What. The. Hell. Happened?" Nurse Joy demanded with a scowl. Ash spoke two words, "Fearow attack"

This statement was enough to face all the faces of the people in the centre go pale...

"CHANSY BRING 2 STRETCHERS. EMERGENCY!!" Nurse Joy yelled and the last thing Ash knew was a soft but firm hand of Nurse Joy on his shoulder before he was laid on the stretcher and taken into the emergency room...

TIME SKIP : UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME...

Ash groaned as he woke up...His head and body was hurting in several places...He slowly opened his eyes to see that he was in a room...a posh, clean room of a hospital and Luxio and Ralts were lying on the two beds adjacent to him and his Egg was on the nearby table...

He felt his Aura reserved and found that they were at 75%. That's good...considering everything that happened till now...

Ash sighed in relief but soon the door opened and Ash was met by an irate Nurse Joy, "YOU IRRESPONSIBLE, IDOTIC, HORRIFYINGLY STUPID EXCUSE FOR A TRAINER!! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU -"

Her rant was stopped midway by Ash who glared at her and spoke coldly, "I did not ask the Fearow flock to attack me Nurse Joy"

Nurse Joy winced at the cold reply but she scowled, "FINE! But these are trainers like you who usually die before they reach their 4th Gym!"

Ash didn't reply...they stood like that for a full minute with Nurse Joy glaring at Ash with puffed cheeks and Ash glaring back with deadpan emotionless expression...

After one whole minute their glaring contest was interrupted by a loud explosion...He and Nurse Joy broke eye contact and Luxio and Ralts jolted awake on their beds...

'Whoa! What the hell was that?' Ralts and Luxio said together. Ash looked at them, 'You are awake...Good. But what was that explosion huh?'

"You stay here. I am gonna check what was that" Nurse Joy said with a glare directed at Ash and then got out of the room...

Ash snorted, "Troublesome woman..."

'I agree...' Luxio said with a scowl...Ralts sighed, 'Ash...I was out for just 6 hours and this happens...What the hell Ash? This would be a new record for getting into trouble...'

Ash spoke evenly, 'Sorry Ralts...but...screw that! You can see our memories anyway!'

Ralts snickered and admitted it was true...

'What was the majestic bird in your memories Ash?' Ralts asked...Luxio and Ash both sighed, 'We don't know...but whatever it was...it was damn magnificent! I would love to meet it again somewhere...'

Their chat was ended by a shrill scream, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

Ash winced at the scream and he looked at Ralts and Luxio...He sighed and muttered something about, 'new record of an array of troubles'

Ash took his egg incubator in one hand and motioned Ralts and Luxio to follow him...They ran down the hallway to reach the main Pokemon Centre room and what they saw made them tremble in rage...

"Prepare for trouble!" Said a lady with long crimson red hair wearing a short top with a 'R' on it and a white mini-skirt.
"And make it double!" Said a man with short blue hair wearing the dress with 'R' stitched on his chest...
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all people in our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie/James"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth That's right!" Yelled a smaller Meowth to finish the motto...

"Team Rocket..." Ash growled loudly and coldly enough to catch their attention...Although his mind was working into overdrive in this situation, 'What the hell?! Team rocket was supposed to be eradicated by Lance almost 14 years ago...How the hell are these people claiming to be a member of that organization?  No matter I'm gonna deal with them...'

"HAH! A kid is trying to -" Jessie scoffed and was about to insult him but stopped when he noticed that Ash's normally blue eyes were no longer blue....but a deathly, eerily, glowing blood red...and a eerie blue outline that surrounded him...

Same could be told for his Luxio...He was surrounded by crackling electricity and his golden eyes were narrowed in barely suppressed anger and electricity was randomly bouncing off in many directions...

"You...filthy...scum...on earth!" Ash spoke in a harsh tone before all hell broke loose.

Thunder sparks were flying everywhere as Luxio pounced upon the Ekans and Koffing that the two of them released...

All three of them felt pressure bearing down upon their shoulders...It felt...so...so suffocating...

The talking Meowth was the first one to sharpen his claws and pounce towards Ash...Ash raised his hands covered in blue glow and the purple stones on his gloves were also glowing purple in color...

A purplish blue glow surrounded Meowth as he stopped midair...And then...he felt pain...unimaginable amounts of pain...

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH" The Meowth screamed in pain as he felt the blue outline around him distort and start to hurt him...

Ash lowered his hand and the Meowth fell to the ground...half of its life force forcibly drained by Ash...

Jessie and James trembled in fear Meowth was subdued so easily...They looked to their left to see Ekans crying in pain as pure electricity coursed through the snake pokemon...Koffing was not better either...It was in the air with a pink outline surrounding it...Ralts was using confusion full force from all directions on it and it was screaming in pain...Then they looked to their right...This...BOY, with those blood red eyes slowly walking towards them...

"Why did you attack?" Ash asked hoarsely...

"T-To st-steal Pokemon...bo-boss or-ordered..." Stuttered out Jessie...

"Who is Boss?" James shook his head, "W-We are j-just lo-lower grunts...w-we d-don't know boss...H-He sits beh-behind his ch-chair in the dark...Only...the ex-executives have ev-ever seen him..."

"Executives?" Ash asked with a intimidating glare, Jessie gulped, "Hi-High ran-ranking in-individuals in Team Rocket"

Ash hummed for a moment...Before he turned to face Jessie and James...The last thing the two of them knew were two jabs to their temples and a whisper, "Go to sleep"

Ash released his power and his eyes returned their usual blue color and the stones on his gloves stopped glowing purple and the blue aura around him vanished. The crackling electricity around Luxio also vanished...

Nurse Joy who was hiding behind the counter looked at the scene with fearful eyes...This...this boy...he handled 2 grunts and their pokemon like they were nothing...And what's with the scary eyes?

She looked at the battle scene...The 2 grunts were cold on the floor...unconscious along with the badly bruised Meowth who was damaged by some....unknown force. And the jaw of the Luxio was smeared with blood and she noticed the badly cut and almost fried body of the Ekans beside it...The Koffing was also out cold by those supereffective Confusion attacks from the Ralts...Scary Boy and Scary Pokemon...

And that was the moment Officer Jenny decided to barge in through the doors with a gun, "HANDS UP EVERYONE!"

Ash blinked...

Jenny fell down on the floor face first anime style as she looked at the scene in front of her...

Ash blinked again...

Jenny dusted herself and got up and looked at Ash incredulously...

Ash shrugged and shook his head, "It wasn't me"

TIME SKIP...

"...So let me get this straight, that boy, who used some kind of weird power, defeated the Meowth by himself and knocked out the grunts...And his Luxio and Ralts defeated the Ekans and the Koffing like they were nothing...I know that Rocket Grunts are weak but....THIS?!" Officer Jenny gazed straight into Nurse Joy's...

Joy nodded, "Yup! That pretty much sums it up"

Jenny stared...Joy stared back...Jenny stared some more...Joy still didn't budge...Jenny's eyes were almost bulging out now...Joy still didn't give in...Jenny blinked and gave in, "*sigh*I can see a massive headache coming...What am I gonna say to the media? And my higher officers? That a mere 13 year old defeated 2 rocket grunts and took them out on his 1st day of the Journey?"

"You know me Jenny! You handle the media by lies but just report the truth to the officials..." Joy said shrugging...

"And what of the boy?"

"He said that there is not much in Viridian for him. He said that he would stay just a few days before heading to Viridian Forest..." Joy replied.

Jenny sighed loudly, "You think Team Rocket would let this go? If this keeps up then that boy would either end up a member of Team Rocket or a big red spot on Team Rocket's target board"

Joy sighed too, "...I really don't know..."

"He...kind...of...freaks me out...Devilish red eyes...and that weird power" Jenny said with a shudder.

Joy shivered too remembering that emotionless face, cold blue eyes and then the sudden change to the eerily scary red eyes...

Jenny sighed again, "This report will definetly reach Lance..."

"I agree..." With that both of them concluded their meeting.

TIME SKIP : THE NEXT DAY...

Ash stretched his arms as he woke up on the bed of the Pokemon centre room. He yawned once and glanced at his clock. It was just 6:00 AM in the morning. After the event with the Fearow Ash knew that even after 3 years of training his Aura reserves were not too great.

He needed to train...both him and his Pokemon. Ash took his Pokeballs and his egg and got into his attire...

He went to the training field and released Ralts and Luxio who yawned.

"Alright guys. This is our first day of training...Ralts yesterday I searched up your index. I want you to learn a status boosting move Calm Mind. You will meditate and access your psychic energy and then use that to empower your special attack and special defense okay?" Ralts nodded and got to work immediately to meditate, Ash turned to Luxio, "...Luxio I haven't scanned you yet. Let me do that okay?"

Luxio hesitantly nodded...Ash took out his Pokedex and scanned him...Luxio's current ability was Intimidate...Then he scrolled to his move set, there was Bite, Tackle, Thunder Shock, Leer, Thunder Bolt and Agility.

Ash whistled, "Wow Luxio you are pretty awesome...You can use Thunder Bolt already...Damn...Anyway...The first gym we would encounter would be rock type in pewter city. So I want you to learn a few Fang moves your species are pretty famous for. I want you to learn to access Ice type energy around you and learn Ice Fang. Just sense Ice energy inside you...It should feel cold...very cold...I want you to access it and channel it to your mouth and then use Bite attack to make it Ice Fang. And as you already have natural electric energy inside you just access it and apply it into Bite attack to make Thunder Fang. I want you to practice these for today okay?"

'Ok Ash, I will try my best!'

Ash nodded and began to meditate himself. He needed to make his Aura reserves larger...and he had to do it fast.

That day Ash trained along with his Pokemon. He practiced the postures Machamp had taught him and he laced those techniques with Aura...so his Aura was being drained at a steady rate...This would definetly make his reserves grow larger...

Meanwhile Ash found about another funny property of his....father's...gloves...Those stones were Keystones but they had Aura inside them...That Aura when mixed with Ash's Aura amplifies it and makes it three times denser...and stronger.

He grinned when he thought about all the things he could do with them...Hehehe.

After hours of harsh training Luxio had gotten a good hold of Thunder Fang but was having problems with Ice Fang. And Ralts had somehow managed to get a basic concept of Calm Mind.

Ash thought to himself, 'We are leaving Viridian tomorrow...But there is still some daylight left today...What do I do? What do I do?...AH YES! Maybe I should visit the Viridian Gym leader Giovanni and check if he can give me a few pointers...'

Ash nodded to himself and recalled his pokemon in the Pokeballs he got them checked at the Pokemon Centre and headed towards the Viridian Gym for a visit there...

After almost 20 minutes of walking he reached there...It was a very intricately crafted gym from the outside, Ash remarked...

As he was busy ogling the Gym he didn't notice the man in orange coat behind him with a Persian...As Ash moved to his left to check out the gym's surrounding area he crashed into the man...

"Ouch..." Ash rubbed his head, He turned to man in orange suit he ran into, "...Oh I am very sorry, I was not looking where I was going..." Ash apologized...

The man shrugged, "Meh its fine...So you are a rookie trainer aren't you?"

Ash nodded, "Yup! Its nice to meet you. I am Ash Ketchum" The man's eyes shot wide, "The same Ash Ketchum that saved the Pokemon Centre from the rocket attack?!"

Ash narrowed his eyes, "That information was not released to the general public...Who might you be actually?"

The man smirked, "Smart...I like it. Who do I look like? Who is the only man in Kanto to go in a 'kill-me' orange suit with a pet Persian hmm?"

Ash's eyes shot wide, "OH! Gym Leader Giovanni...I must apologize for not recognizing you earlier..." Ash bowed lightly.

The man laughed, "No problem kiddo...Now what are you doing here kid? Are you one of the more stupider rookies who challenge Viridian Gym as their first one?" The man said in a boring tone.

Ash shook his head, "If anyone challenges Viridian gym as their first gym I think they have a sanity check pending somewhere..." Ash joked and Giovanni laughed, "...But to answer your question...No. Just observing. I was here thinking I may get lucky and some other challenger may come and challenge you and I may get to watch...Other than that your....unique...reputation with ground types fascinates me" Ash spoke evenly.

Giovanni nodded with a smirk, 'This kid...Must add to the prospective potential members of Team Rocket...he would be a great soldier', Giovanni grinned, "You are smarter than your years...How would you like to see some of my Pokemon eh kid?"

Ash's eyes widened, "Really? I would like that very much Leader Giovanni"

Giovanni nodded and took out 5 Ultra Balls and 1 Pokeball from his belt. He released all 5 pokemon. All 5 pokemon revealed were A Nidoking, A Nidoqueen, A Kangaskhan, a Rhydon, and a Krookodile...

Ash was amazed by the sheer power the Pokemon emanated...

"Damn..." whispered Ash...Giovanni laughed, "Nidoking was my starter. I caught them all along the way and trained them to what they are now...", 'Actually trained some and experimented on some...' Giovanni thought darkly...

Ash listened as Giovanni told him about all of his Pokemon and how he encountered them on his journeys...Ash asked, "Leader Giovanni, you still haven't told me what's in the 6th Pokeball..."

Giovanni chuckled, "Its...just a Trapinch, I came across recently...I am debating whether to train him or not...He is a good pokemon, yes he is...but...Trapinch evolve into the dragon type Flygon...and I don't have a very good past....with dragon types..."

Ash nodded understandingly, "So what will you do with the Trapinch Leader Giovanni?"

Giovanni hummed for a moment, "First answer me...The egg in your right hand is a dragon egg correct?" Ash nodded...a little sadly, "I-I...I-" For a moment Ash's eyes showed pain, regret and sadness and no words came out of his mouth which Giovanni noticed...

He could relate a bit after all...He had seen death with his own eyes...

"You have seen death..." Giovanni commented dryly...Ash hesitantly and sadly nodded...

"I was thinking..." Giovanni hummed...Ash raised an eyebrow, "What?"

Giovanni smirked, "You have a dragon egg...and they take a long time to hatch. So you must have read and have knowledge about dragon types right?" Ash had to admit...Giovanni was not only brawls, but brains too, that's how he had earned his fearsome reputation after all, Giovanni continued, "...Trapinch would evolve into the part ground part dragon type Flygon eventually...And you are a good trainer to have handled those rocket grunts with such ease. I think Trapinch would be better off with you rather than me" Giovanni dropped the bomb as Ash looked flabbergasted.

"You...are...giving it...to me?" Ash asked...Giovanni nodded, "Yup! Give him a good home and take care of him, that's all I would ask of you" With that the uncaring gym leader recalled his Pokemon and handed Trapinch's Pokeball to
