Viridian forest
Today our protagonist was walking through the forest. Pikachu and pidgey learned iron tail and steel wing respective, will be working on mastering them. Right now I was instructing pikachu and magikcarp how to tackle properly. Then for one second I stopped and turned around to catch a sword with my two finger. Ahh it's the samurai. Hmm That's why I was sensing someone coming at me with the intention to attack but not hurt.
" did you catch my sword?""cause it is made of styrofoam you moron" and I broke in two with my bare hands. Imagine how epic I felt catching a sword with two angteen years of training and it turns out to be made of styrofoam. Ahh the disappointment is immeasurable.
"That doesn't matter, I challenge you to a poke-""yeah sure, why not pikachu your up""such disrespect, go my pinsir and crush them", the pinsir was a disappointment I could see that it's armor was not polished, it did not look tough or even rigid. It's horns were dull and polished like a trophy.
pinsir attacked first with a charge. I first removed the extra gravity and then ordered" run around it, quick tackle" pikachu easily dodged pinsirs claws and ran faster and faster till his speed would hit increase and then hit the pinsir. The pinsir was sent flying." Oi sword boy have you even trained that thing or is it just a trophy. It's claws are dull and it is not properly fed". No matter ash won this match, this kids a moron.
(Btw quick tackle is quick attack plus tackle)
"Wait I still have one more pokemon" oh god it's the metapod isn't it? Sigh"sure"."let's Go metapod". Like the pinsir the metapod was smaller than normal, it did no have a sine and its armor look much more compressible than even the wild ones.
"Magikcarp go and use tackle and jump up and hit it with flail." And like that metapod was out."well see ya later! Bye"
I do not wanna be near him when the beedrill swarm attacks. Judgin by the fact that he did not say anything regarding any other trainers, and how in the anime every trainer he had beaten was mentioned, I'm gonna make an educated guess that I am ahead. Not that it means anything. Th only thing that matters are your happiness and the strength you gained. The speed has nothing to do with ability unless it is a speed run.
Oak was very pleased with the talking meowth and mom was happy to see me be so free. They both laughed when I told them about the guy with a styrofoam sword. I also told oak about how the egg hatched and I got a "gibble". This dude was a monster, he ate like a snorlax and had so much potential it was crazy, but unlike snorlax he absolutely loved fighting. His moves were tackle, dragon claw, thrash and sand attack.
Guess which ones were egg moves? Yeah, I know as well, currently it's body was too weak to perform any of the egg moves. That is why he is racing the local population of sandshrew underground. I asked the gibble how it wanted to become when it grew up. It replied with a speeding, tank with high attack. In the games this might not be possible, but in reality the only limits that exist are the ones which can be broken.
Speaking of I was going for certain builds for my pokemon. I made sure to train their weaknesses as well, so they are not unbalanced
Pikachu-extremely fast special and physical attacker
Magikcarp-Mega tank
Pidgey-fast tank
Gibble- fast offensive tank
Riolu- fast attacker physical
Charizard- undetermined.
He was also the most enthusiastic pokemon in our little group. See in a baby pokemon working so hard lot a fire up under my pokemon asses and I realized that I have a total of 6 pokemon. Magikcarp, pikachu, pidgey, gibble, riolu and meowth. Good thing that I had 9 slots instead of the six, thanks to the junior professor status I had obtained. My current aim was to get the abandoned charmander and have Damien Arrested.
I finally saw a city, it looked like the city was carved out of stone. It didn't really look inviting but it wasn't menacing either. Hell steel is more powerful from a durability standpoint. But it did have a weird, quirky charm of its own. The pokemon center stood out like a sore thumb. The iconic building was made red for it to be visible and easy to spot.
It was a pretty crowded street, from here I could see a large park. I believe that's where flint is, but first I gotta beat Brock. I had no complaints for Brock other than the fact that he was a bit too passive and let misty hit him around. He was also the most sensible and the oldest one.
The gym was pretty grand but first I need some rest. Aura: heal consumes energy, so even if I have no injuries, I am dead tired. I am also thinking about failsafe incase Brock is prepared for steel type moves. I am gonna challenge him day after tomorrow.
"Today we are gonna relax and take the day off." They were still very young and still needed social interactions to develop. I toured the entire town and saw the museum. The games made the museum seem much much smaller than it actually was. It was a few floors. I stocked up on food supplies. Mom and me talked a bit. I transferred meowth to oak for research purposes. All in all it was a nice break from sleeping on the floor and eating the same food again and again.
Now for my strategy, I am gonna go with pikachu first, then if needed pidgey.
Brock
Pewter city gym
Today is the day, I am finally gonna get my first badge. Sorry Brock but you ain't coming with me. As an apology, I'll drag your dad here. I got pikachu on my shoulder and pidgeys pokeball ball in my hand.
My team(except gibble) had destroyed the trainers population's ego. Each and every person who has wandered into the forest with a pokemon was beaten by me. I crushed the arrogant or abusive trainer and guided and helped the kind or younger trainers.
By today the entire town was talking about a young boy clad in black and red, destroying egos and helping the young trainers.
Pidgey was already showing the signs of evolution before I caught it. I had delayed it's evolution to let its body become stronger and more used to using the elements. She had reached the ceiling in terms of physical strength and elemental technique. I told her that she can evolve today.
I walked up to the receptionist and asked." Is the gym leader present here? I wish to challenge him for the badge."." He is here let me notify him, he will be here shortly." After waiting a while, Brock arrived. Some how he managed to look the exact same without looking unrealistic. The only change was that his eyes were open and they looked a bit arrogant. Guess that will happen if you were not beaten by three trainers from the same town, three times in a row.
"So your here. I'm Brock. I'm pewter's Gym Leader. My rock-hard willpower is evident even in my pokemon. My pokemon are all rock hard, and have true grit determination. That's right-my pokemon are all the rock type! Fuhaha! You're going to challenge me knowing you'll lose? That's the Trainers honor that compels you to challenge me. Fine, then! Show me your best!""sure.". He was more talkative but I made sure that I only used the pokemon series as a guide to judge.
Hating someone based of an alternate reality was not right. The only reason I did it with misty, was that all her behavior reinforced the mental image I had of her. Professor oak was not as forgetful and Gary was way more arrogant then from canon. Serena was even more adorable, cute and shy then ever showed.
Why is everyone I fight knuckleheads? Well whatever, the league appointed him, so they must have seen some qualities in him. The only thing I learned from my past memories are that the early gyms are terribly unbalanced.
Brocks Pokémon's defense and attack are monstrous, but their elemental defense is practically zero. The three gym leaders in cerulean need no explaining. Surge evolved to early, limiting the potential of a very talented pikachu. Celadon city. Erika was sexist, the wrong way and her gloom wasn't strong enough to withstand the fire for a few seconds. The other gym leaders have trained to their weakness to a minimum at the very least.
"Go geodude." " pikachu your up buddy" both of are pokemon got into position. My the receptionist was the referee," this is a battle between Brock the pewter city gym leader and ash from pallet town. Only two pokemon are to be used. Only the trainer can switch out their pokemon. Now begin!"
"Geodude defense curl then rollout""pikachu quick attack around it and iron tail"
Geodude immediately flexed then curled into a ball and started rolling towards pikachu, who had started building up quick attacks to pick up speed. Geodude was unable to even follow where pikachu went and all of a sudden it was hit by an iron tail from behind.
Even though unbalanced the great defense Brock had talked about showed. Even after being hit with an iron tail in the back, Geodude got up with only a few injuries. Sadly though another quick iron tail finished it off.
"Pikachu you had your fun now come back. Go pidgey"" is this an insult, an tiny pid-" yeah my pidgey had grown from 1 meter to1.2meters. So yeah he was shocked. He quickly snapped out of it and said" go golem". This was a major divergence from canon. Iquicky scrounged up two theories
1. I am in a different pokemon timeline which has a few Minor changes
2. Brock keeps certain pokemon for extra strong trainers
Enough theorizing it's time to fight." Begin in 321 go"" golem rock slide, then rock polish""pidgey quick steel wing"
Pidgey expertly moved through the rock slide, compared to the rocks I had her dodge under 2.3X gravity, this was nothing. Brocks plan to distract me and then to power up failed and his golem got steel winged in the face as a reprimand." Golem mega punch" that was pretty fast and pidgey got hit by it but, got up like a champ"pidgey gust and steel wing again"
The gust hit and did a bit of damage and distracted it enough for pidgey to get a steel wing in and golem finally fainted.
"I took you for granted, and so I lost. As proof of your victory I confer on you this.. the official pokemon league boulder badge." Some how how his stoic expression looked different without changing, not even I can do that. Mom always told me to be polite so"thanks! I hope to meet you again"
I left the pokemon center with all my pokemon healed and a boulder badge in my pocket. I send pidgey to look for some thing. I was contemplating some thing when she came back.
Good news, I won. Bad news, pidgey did not evolve. Good news, I found the pump which made pikachu stronger.
Well not exactly stronger per say. It was explained that the hydro mill made pikachu used to extremely high volts running through its body. I was gonna look into it, and get pikachu stronger than in the series.
"Gibble today we will be starting on using your dragon moves. Today I want you to hold dragon claw for as long as you can. If you get bored try changing the shape of the claws. You understand""gibble gib". It's intention was to simply become the strongest.
After nearly a few hours of walking I reached their. It did not look that grandiose but as long as it works, it works." Pikachu buddy I wanna gonna put a lot of electricity through your body. This will make lightning attacks much easier and your body stronger. You wanna do it?""pikapika" it said while nodding its head.
I made sure there were no negative effects and checked the machine for any structural weak points and after that was done, I stared it. At first pikachu could only hold it for a few minutes, but after every time, the duration would increase. I estimated that it would take a week or more for this technique to reach its limits. I will consider this a success if pikachu can hold it indefinitely.
1 week later
Yesterday, pikachu finally reached the limit of the machine. I tested a few attacks before and after the training. The attacks before were lower in power and pikachu could only perform 12 before stopping. Now though, the attacks were much stronger and pikachu can perform 20 before stopping. Also pidgey finally evolved in a mock battle against gibble.
Pidgeotto is a giant at 1.5 meters. That is the size of an pidgeot. I can almost ride her! She is more than strong enough to big enough to carry me but under the extra gravity she can't lift me. Also there is no fun in flying everywhere. Pidgeotto also learned wing attack, agility and sand attack.
My aura had finally started growing again and my gravity increased to 2.5X gravity. My abilities should be able to completely stop Sabrina from doing anything to me. Also there was a plot hole regarding how Gary and the other trainers beat Sabrina before ash. But I'll talk about it when that comes.
Magikcarp had shown signs of evolving but I purposefully asked him to not evolve. Most people would be happy with an average shiny gyarados. I was not normal, I wanted him to reach the ceiling of his potential. I was gonna use him to beat all three sister to crush them. Their attitude and ego pissed me off. They were an insult to the trainers in the original, but I will do my best to not hold a bias.
Gibble had also grown strong enough to use dragon claw once before nearly fainting. What, did you expect that a one week training montage will allow a baby dragon to use one of the strongest moves of an adult badass dragon?. Gibble was far from evolving as he was a dragon type. Dragon types did not evolve for long periods of times, but when they did? Oh boy were they strong.
Now I have one thing to do before heading to mount moon. Flint where are you?"pidgeotto do you wanna a nickname?""pi" her intention was yes."hmm how about ari?" She liked that."ok ari I want you to find a man who looks like this". I showed her a sketch I made of flint."pi" and she's gone. Now about Damien. He left his charmander for a week. The other trainers should have beaten Brock by now. If I am one day ahead of ash, can I get an extra 5 days ahead of my alternate self? Maybe.
I don't wanna leave the charmander for more than a day at my pokemon could now barely beat me with elemental attacks. The only restriction in the matches was for gibble, for obvious reasons. But without heir elements I still beat them by a close margin. But if I use my aura to enhance my body and to create weapons, then elements or no, I thrash them.
pi" I guess she found him"show me the way". I then ran around the town and found him selling stones. I did not use naruto's talk no jutsu:protagonist edition. No I simply picked him up like a sack of potato's, carried him to the gym, knocked on the door and when one of brocks siblings opened, I simply chucked him inside and closed the door.
Within the next few hours, the official gym leader of pewter had changed back to flint. I don't know what Brock will want or do in this timeline, but if he wants to do something he gotta man up and just do it. I wonder how good of a gym leader flint is?
Mom was very excited to learn that I had gotten my badge and how ari had evolved. Oak was still busy with the revolutionary pokemon translated he was creating. He had used the data collected from meowth to create this, hell he gave me joint credit for the idea. I was ecstatic. I could be the youngest professor ever. Also he gave me advice for mount moon. I listened to the previous champion very carefully.
Today I am entering the iconic mountain. I had realized one thing, the zuban were very good for aiming practice, their numbers and speed allowed pikachu to get a good sense of aim with his new powers. All my pokemon including the magikcarp with water gun had their aims improve by a lot. I made sure that they won't be seriously hurt.
Also it turns out all my pokemon are scaredy-cats and cant sleep in the dark without cuddling me. That's pretty sweet at first but after a while it... grows old. I had one major reason for staying here for so long. It turns out that other 10 year old cant walk at 7km/h for 12 hours straight.
I thought, instead of doing all this calculations and estimations, why can't I just ask oak? The Pokédex have gps systems in them. It turns out that Gary left pewter today. This is my 4th day in the mountain. Ash came one week after Gary.
so I have two options
1. I can go far ahead and then backtrack all the way to cerulean
2. Train here
I went ahead with the second one. What have I been training you may ask? Well I have been training the senses of this pokemon. My sophisticated method is to block out one or multiple senses and throw them at enemy pokemon and trainers. By now each one of my pokemon can fight at near max capacity without 2 sense.
I have also followed Moody's advice. I randomly flick them out of nowhere. This teaches them constant vigilance. Of course me and the Pokémon's have come out of the mountains plenty of times for supplies. You did not think that I would train my pokemon without caring for their health? Of course not.
