Iris, Cilan, We are officially 2 days ahead of our previous timeline. I want you to join me, as I retrieve one of my pokemon from someone who's kept him far too long. (Cilan) Who Ash? What are you talking about!? Well Cilan, in my previous life I released a number of Pokemon for one reason or another. I'm going to collect possibly one of my strongest fighting types. (Iris) Well don't leave us in suspense! Who is it!? Primeape, I'm bringing my wild one home with me. Whether Anthony likes it or not! He is my pokemon and I already earned his respect once. It will be nothing to earn it again, or my name isn't Ash Ketchum. Captain Storuse! Raise Battle City into the sky, and set a course for Celadon City. Get us there as fast as Battle City can take us. It will be done Captain Ketchum, you might want to buckle up, it's gonna get bumpy for a while!
-6 Hours Later-
Primeape is unable to continue, Hawlucha takes the match. Man! Why can't I get you to move like I want you to? Anthony was having a hard time with the increasingly more difficult to handle Primeape. (Dojo Employee) Anthony sir, there's a call coming in from a Battle City. (Anthony) Patch it through, I'll take care of this! He picked up the call and put it to his ear, Hello Anthony? This is Ash Ketchum, and I am curious about my Primeape's condition and training. His eyes bugged out of his head and he got a bit nervous. He remembered that Ash was just a kid, so he wasn't too worried about being able to control the situation, to keep Primeape. (Anthony) Well hello Ash! Long time huh? The nervousness was radiating off of Anthony in waves.
How is my Pokemon doing? (Anthony) Uhhh, um, he's fine Ash, just getting taken care of with the nurse. So if I were to show up in say, 20 minutes? I would be able to see my pokemon? Oh good, cause we just entered Celadon air space and that's how far away we are. If I am dissatisfied with my Primeape's condition and skill set, I will be retrieving my pokemon. He sputtered upon hearing my words, www wait a minute Ash! Can't we work something out? A Double Battle between your two best fighting types and mine. There! Something worked out, unless you want to make something of it? Then I can challenge you for my pokemon directly. If you think you're gonna deny me because of some obscure technicality. You've got a rude awakening in route to your Dojo, prepare yourself! He.. He hung up on me!? Is he really coming to challenge me for him? There's no way he can do that, he abandoned Primeape to me. It's been longer than 2 years, he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Only someone of my rank or higher can openly challenge me like he claims.
-Floating Above Anthony's Dojo-
Ok Ash, we have 5 minutes for you to unload. Then I have to put the ship down outside the City. Understood Ian, keep the engines warm and... RIN! Please join us, I will require unbiased refereeing. (Rin) It will be done Captain Ketchum. She whirred to life following closely behind the group. I grabbed up her pokeball, Unfeazant? Do you think you can carry Iris down for me? Cilan? You come down with me, on Charizard. Unfeazant and Charizard flew us down to the Dojo entrance. Two employees came out to greet us, Charizard, Unfeazant: Return. Welcome to our Dojo, how can we help you kid? Where is Anthony? Scratch that! Where is MY Primeape!? One of the employees scowled the other ones eyes bugged all the way out of his head. Shit! He tapped his buddy's shoulder Hey! Bring them inside, the boss is expecting them. He turned around and bolted back inside. The scowling employee turned back to us, what do ya' YOUR Primeape!? That's the bosses ace pokemon, you're making a big claim with no proof.
No proof huh? How long have you worked here? (Scowl) What the hell does that have to do with anything!? Just answer the question! (Scowl) A little over a year, why?
I sighed heavily then, respectfully, you don't know what the heck you're talking about! You should shut up about things you don't know about. You little snot! He wheeled on us, I ought to knock your teeth out. (Pikachu) Try it scumbag! The guy heard: Chuuuu as Pikachu's cheeks sparked in warning. Anthony was coming from out back as we walked in to the training area. A few moments later the nurse came running into the Dojo with Primeape's ball. Awesome! I thought, he feels stronger but, what's with all that turmoil? Anthony it's been a while, hasn't it? The still nervous man was sweating (Pikachu) This guy is gonna try something bad. Yeah probably, I said to my brother via aura speech.
Well then, can I see my pokemon? Well, that's the thing Ash. This isn't your pokemon anymore, no contact over 2 years means YOU abandoned your pokemon to me. So, this is MY PRIMEAPE not yours. My eyes narrowed to slits Iris, Cilan? Take care of Pikachu for me, I have to teach this coward a lesson and retrieve my friend. I turned to face him and his sniggering cohorts. If I were an ordinary trainer You, would be correct. (Anthony) Ha! I AM right! There's NOTHING you can do to take him back. I put a finger up, that is where you are wrong. I readjusted my cap, showing off my Frontier Symbol. Someone of equal or Greater rank than you can summarily challenge you for the rights to any pokemon. As a pokemon trainer I cannot do that, but! I paused for effect, as the Frontier Brain of The Kanto Battle Frontier's Battle City, I challenge you for Primeape! Anthony, I promise you I am not leaving without MY PRIMEAPE!
(Dojo Employees) Frontier Brain!?... Shit! The sniggering turned to realization of the trouble they had just invited in. Your two strongest, and I hope they're ready, because my boys certainly are. (Anthony) Fine have it your way! I'll beat you with your own pokemon. He grinned savagely at us, Primeape/ Hariyama we're bringing down the house! Hariii-Yaamaa Priiiiiiimee! (Hariyama) Another fight aye Anthony? (Primeape) Oooooooohhhh a fight! I love to fight! This one looks familiar? Do I know you boy? I grinned at my old friend then he heard it.. (Pikachu) Pig! I know you haven't forgot us that easily, right?!? I told you, I wouldn't let Ash forget you! Primeape looked at me with wide, wild eyes. The ghost of a smile forming on his face. Primeape snorted at us, his snort of approval if I remember correctly. I pulled out the hat that brought us together in the first place. I watched as his eyes bugged out of his skull.
He narrowed his eyes to slits, (Primeape) Ash Ketchum, I'm so mad at you! How dare you leave me with this incompetent asshole!! Oh don't worry, I said via my aura. I'll have your respect, and my friend back in a few minutes. Out loud I said, yeah Primeape, you remember me alright! Alright boys, time to bring your big brother home! Ty/Macho: I choose you! Anthony was celebrating early in his mind, Ha! A Machoke and a Tyrogue. (Hariyama) So, this is the boy that conquered you to begin with. He looks weak, that's why Anthony was able to steal you so easily. Those pokemon across from us don't stand a chance! In the days since his arrival, we came up with next stage of one of his go to attacks. Macho: Close Combat-Version 2. Ty: Close Combat-Version 3. Macho rushed the middle aiming directly at Primeape. Only for Ty to corkscrew flip off of Macho's flank, landing a Mega Kick to Primeape's face.
Macho ran up on Hariyama exchanging Rock Smash attacks. Deflecting Arm Thrusts and landing a few Karate Chops of his own. For Macho, Close Combat Version 2 is speed based and counter attack heavy (Ty) I apologize Big Brother, but Ash has tasked us with brining you home. Even if we have to rough you up a little bit to do it. Right before unleashing a barrage of Bullet Punch attacks. For Ty, Version 3 is in your face and strike heavy (Primeape) These are your pokemon!? How did you get them to be this strong? You'll have to come home for that answer Primeape. (Anthony) What the... Wait a minute, are you talking directly to Primeape!? Use Close Combat and shut that brat up! I'm sorry buddy, we're gonna have to rough you up a bit. Ty: Version 3, lead with Rock Smash. He met Primeape, in the middle exchanging blows with him deflecting the heavier ones and flat out blocking others. Primeape was having difficulty getting past a Tyrogue of all things! (Anthony) Don't let that little snot win, BEAT HIM DOWN PRIMEAPE!
Ty, let him charge (Ty) What are you planning Ash? You'll see, Get ready to move Ty! Low Sweep, Low Kick, Mega Kick, High Jump Kick! Right as Primeape made it within striking distance. Ty moved in sidestepping the opening punch, the Low Sweep sent Primeape tripping forward. As he corrected himself he was caught with the Low Kick to Mega Kick delivered as a switch kick. That gave Ty space to rush Primeape who was still off balance. Primeape got caught by Ty with a textbook High Jump Kick. This sent Primeape into the air flailing. NOW TY! Use Vacuum Wave to get height, bring down the house! Mega Kick.Ty was starting to learn how to channel Vacuum Wave through his feet. So far, really big jumps is what it was good for. At the apex Ty spun a few times and delivered Mega Kick via an axe kick. Primeape finally corrected himself only to have to block an absurdly strong Mega Kick. It cratered the ground beneath Primeape.
Meanwhile Macho and Hariyama's exchange was a bit different. Macho learned Dual Chop after being sent flying from a solid Force Palm. Alright Macho, let's show them we mean business. The exchange remaining a series of counter attacks. Ducking a particularly close Arm Thrust, Macho: Vital Slam! He actually got Hariyama airborne, and rushed to where it would land. He positioned himself underneath Hariyama, and caught him on the descent. *BOOM* the battlefield shook violently as Hariyama made contact with the ground. Hariyama sprang up furious at being caught by that move. (Anthony) Hariyama use Thunder Punch! Back it up with Rock Smash. Dynamic Thunder Boxing, incapacitate that Hariyama! The size difference worked in our favor, even though Hariyama is strong. Macho was as tenacious as Ty, alright boys let's turn it up to eleven, Switch Up! Hariyama was cocked back ready to throw a punch. As he released it, Macho cartwheeled sideways and Ty did a jumping cartwheel kick using Macho's feet as a springboard.
Landing inside Hariyama's range Ty's size allowed him to deliver a Low Sweep. That knocked the big guy over causing both Anthony and Hariyama to double take. (Anthony) This little squirt actually took Hariyama off its feet!? HARIYAMA ON YOUR FEET, USE SEISMIC TOSS!! Not gonna happen! Ty, get in close and use Bullet Spin! Take him out at the knees, I added through aura. Ty smirked as he slid into place Hariyama was right on top of him. Using his knees to get to his lowest point he popped back up to the balls of his feet and began to use Rapid Spin in conjunction with Bullet Punch. Both of Hariyama's knees took 2 solid hits felling Hariyama yet again. Backflipping away from Hariyama, he avoided the retaliatory palm strike. *BOOM* the ground shook as the dust cloud obscured our vision. Ty: Focus Blast! He avoided the next strike by vaulting into the air off of one of Hariyama's forefingers. Aiming the Focus Blast right between its shoulders. *BOOM* the force of the blast cause Hariyama to faceplant.
(Anthony) Just what the hell are you? There's no way a Tyrogue can be this powerful! Just what kind of monsters did you bring into my Dojo? Allow me to reintroduce myself, Ash Ketchum: Top 16 at the Indigo Plateau, Top 8 at Johto, Top 8 at Hoenn, Winner of the Kanto Battle Frontier, Third at Lilly of the Valley. After which I accepted the invitation to become a Frontier Brain. Now I stand before you repeating myself when I say. I am not leaving this Dojo without my Primeape! (Anthony) You're wrong Ash, he's staying here. Primeape/Hariyama: Focus Combat. Good! Stay proud, I said with a grin on my face. Ty/Macho: time for some teamwork, Macho duck and spin, Ty get in close! Now Dual Chop, as Macho finished his ducked down 180, he flung his hands in a Dual Chop. Catching both Pokemon in the mid-section making them bow against their wills. Ty, Focus Punch! His slide brought him to a stop right under both their faces. His hands already lit up, in a double uppercut Tyrogue unleashed Focus Punch on both Hariyama and Primeape.
Hariyama came to a standing position, Primeape rolled backwards once and came back to his feet. Anger Point finally activated, he began to rage at the match. Rage at his partner in battle, but mostly rage at the fact that this loser couldn't produce half the prowess Ash just showed him. (Primeape) I hate you Anthony! And you... Ash Ketchum, you'll have to stop me if you want me back!!
RAGING FINAL COMBAT. He unloaded a quick Focus Punch to Hariyama's ribs. Sending it tumbling partially winded from the force of the hit. Just as quickly he appeared in front of Ty and gut checked him. As he stood there facing down Macho, Hariyama stood back up. Furious at the raging Primeape he was partnered with. (Hariyama) Traitor.. You dare!? He moved so fast it almost looked like a Quick Attack. (Anthony) Alright Hariyama knock him out with Karate Chop! No you don't! Fast Ball Special, Mega Kick! Tyrogue just barely made it in time, to kick Karate Chop away from Primeape. Flip backwards and land an upside-down crescent kick on Hariyama's head. No where near enough to phase him but just enough to get him away from Primeape.
This only enraged Hariyama further, and poor Tyrogue took a backhanded Rock Smash in retaliation. Hariyama wasn't keeping track of all his opponents and took Thunder Punch in retaliation for Ty. While he was flying away from Macho, Hariyama flew into Primeape's Focus Punch. Which sent him flying for another wall, and left him open for the finisher. Ty: Focus Blast! Hariyama was already falling at terminal velocity. Right before his head would've struck the battlefield. Focus Blast sent him skipping away, the entire left side of his body embedding into the wall. The ref called it, Hariyama is unable to continue. (Anthony) Primeape: Return. The still raging Primeape dodged the beam, and set his sights on Anthony himself. He punched and elbowed at him a few times. Forcing his hand with the pokeball where he wanted it. He snatched the ball from Anthony and did a handstand. Tossed the ball at his feet and kicked it at Ash. The ball made a satisfying smack into Ash's palm. Jenny/Joy Have you been listening? Indeed we have Ash, Jenny answered me when I asked the question.
Has he incriminated himself enough? For a few things, yes Joy replied. Ok then, let's finish this! Mankey in the middle Macho: Hands, Ty: Legs! Macho was coming at Primeape with Dynamic Punch, Thunder, Fire, and Ice Punch. Bullet Punch, Karate Chop, and Rock Smash. While Ty landed Low Sweep, Low/Mega/and Rolling Kicks. Primeape was being set up for TY: HIGH JUMP KICK! At the apex of the jump I said Ty: Seismic Toss. He managed to hold on to Primeape and spin him 3 times, sending him rocketing towards the ground. Macho finish this! Catch him: Heavy Slam! The crater that we made with Primeape's body made me cringe. Using his pokeball again after so long, my friend was finally coming home. As I made my way towards the door Anthony tried to protest. Only to have Inspector Joy and Officer Jenny walk through the doors of his Dojo. Iris and Cilan were speechless at the way I just waltzed in and bulldozed the place. (Cilan) Ash! What were you thinking!? What if!? I get it, I get it! But it didn't happen, this did.
Now this guy isn't going to get the chance to do the same thing to another trainer. (Iris) That's awesome! But it's shitty that he really tried to swindle you out of Primeape. It's ok Iris, I'm just glad it worked out for the best. Upon exiting the Dojo, I was about to make the call when, (Ian) Ash! We relocated outside of town while you handled your business here. I take it all went well? I flashed Primeape's pokeball, yup! Mr. Strouse, we're headed to Pewter City Gym. I need to pick up my permanent pokemon Doctor. Dexter, dial Brock Slate.
-Brock-
Thank you very much! I can't tell you what this means to me. (Pokemon Healthcare Employee) You're quite welcome Doctor Slate, we hope you have a long, and fruitful career caring for Pokemon. The call ended after that, so that's it huh? I'm a Pokemon Doctor again just like that. Well, he thought as he reclined back into his office chair. Where can I do my residency? That alone is gonna take up 2 years of my life. As he finished this thought *ring*ring*ring* incoming call: Ash Ketchum. Hahahaha! You little devil, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you planned this. He picked up the call, yo Ash! What's up bro? (Ash) It's been 3 days, and lemme tell you! Ugh! I caught a Dwebble, Seedot hatched, I'm still waiting on a Growlithe to hatch, I just took back Primeape from Anthony. By force! He should still be having choice words with Inspector Joy and Officer Jenny. I cringed when he said that, those two are no joke.
(Ash) About that question I posed to you, it's been 3 days Brocko. Lemme know brother, my boss would love to work with you! Scott would not be averse to paying for your updated education. The equipment Lexi uses is better than standard Pokemon Center equipment. Travel, Pay, Pokemon, If you just got your certification. Don't you need to take residency somewhere? I'm sure working for a Battle Frontier Facility would probably count. The only way to know for sure is to try it? Oh WOW, that's a lot to take in. Nevermind all that, who is Lexi, Ash? Temporary Medic, you would be replacing her. He said in response, what an interesting situation. You couldn't have planned this if you tried! (Ash) Hahahaha! True but, this wasn't me, this was timing. It's a spot big enough for you to train with your own team so they stay up to standard. Pewter City Gym Leader! I really can't find a negative to your proposal man. When can I start? (Ash) We should be getting into Pewter air-space in the next 30 minutes. Or, do you need more time? There wasn't anything else to be thought of. I'll start packing while you get here! You don't know how much you're helping me Ash Ketchum. (Ash) You took the words right out of my mouth Brocko! It will be a pleasure to work with you again old friend. With that the call ended Battle City silently floating it's way to Pewter.
-Battle City-
Mr. Strouse, inform the local Jenny we will picking up Doctor Slate. (Ian) As you wish Captain, patch me through to... (Pikachu) Hey, you ok? I mean, a lot has gone on in the last few weeks. This is not our previous life! Yet here we are, making power moves. Damn Pikachu, you go silent on me for days on end and then hit me with this. I'm not mad at your observation! You're right of course, but it's just starting to sink in, ya' know? He hugged my head a little harder, (Pikachu) Dumb ass, shaking his head, I love you Ash Ketchum. I couldn't ask for a better brother, human or pokemon! I pet my buddy's fur when, Seedot let himself out of his pokeball. (Seedot) Where are we going Papa? To pick up my friend a Pokemon Doctor. (Iris) He's just so cute! Seedot didn't mind her, so he allowed himself to be carried around. (Cilan) I seem to remember someone named Brock from years ago. I wonder if he ever saw his friend again? I'm glad I got to travel with you a second time Ash! Thanks Cilan, I am too! Iris, I hope you're ok with being a stand in for the Pokemon Master. My focus shifted just a bit, I don't want to be a Pokemon Master any more. My original goal was to be the very best, like no one ever was. That! Is THEE Pokemon Master, the one who answers directly to Lord Arceus. If I also happen to champion every region's league and, the Pokemon World Coronation Series. As well as the Champions League, then there won't be any argument left. Both of them kinda stared at me in amazement (Cilan/Iris) Right!
Pidgeot, Charizard let's go pick up our buddy Brock. Ash hopped on Charizard's back and flew down towards Pewter City Gym. Pidgeot trailing behind him, You see that right? Isn't that the Pidgeot from Veridian!? The one that beat that Fearow? Yeah! That's the one... Pidgeot heard this, so did Charizard (Pidgeot/Charizard) Ash.. we have company and they're targeting her/me. Well then I said let's give them a warm welcome using Heatwave and Flamethrower. A moment after he issued the command the bandits showed themselves, wearing Team Rocket uniforms. He frowned and said scratch that through their bond. Hyper Beam and Fire Blast get these niucances out of our way! KABOOM the grunts went flying off in the opposite direction. A few seconds later Brock came rushing out, Croagunk tailing him. (Brock) ASH! What the hell was that about!? (Croagunk) Did you get them? (Pidgeot) Yeah, I heard them threaten us from the start, and warned Ash. So, you're one of Brock's pokemon, huh? Sinnoh? (Croagunk) Yeah, he's a lot to handle but, he's the best trainer for us. He came up to her and pet her head feathers. (Brock) Hello girl, you look good, nice and powerful. What was that? Team Rocket was targeting Pidgeot for some reason. I put them in their place before they had a chance to do anything. (Brock) Jessie and James? Nah, some other grunts, I've only had to send those two flying once since my return.
(Brock) Hey Charizard! Looking good buddy, he pet him under his jaw. Do we have enough time for a quick goodbye? Quick, we were only given a 40 minute leeway outside of town. We've used up nearly half of that now. I see, BROCK!! Forest came running out of the gym. (Forest) You weren't just gonna leave without saying goodbye to us, were you!? (Brock) No I wasn't! We were just discussing that subject when you interrupted us. (Forest) Oh.. Sorry about that bro, he said mareepishly scratching the back of his head. Brock's Mom and Dad came out shortly after. (Brock) Hey guys, looks like my boss is here to pick me up. (Flint/Lola) So Ash is the friend you were talking about? Yup! I said, I recently became a Frontier Brain. I need Brock as my Doctor, and he needs a place to do his residency. It's a win-win! For everybody involved, he'll get paid and travel, as well as an abundance of pokemon to treat. (Lola) Oh! I know of them, that's a thought bunch you work with Ash. Well, as of today so does Brock, as the new medic for Battle City. (Flint) What or where is this Battle City? I got on my pokegear: Ian, bring the ship over the Pewter Gym we're just about ready for departure. (Ian) As you wish Captain Ash, we will be there shortly. Within 5 minutes there was this huge ship floating over head. Easily the size of a town, it blocked out most of the sun around the Gym . There it is everybody, Battle City the newest Frontier Facility. You remember the droid from my time doing the challenge with Spencer. (Brock) The Droid with the really fast cameras? Yeah, that's the one! We have our own upgraded version, the system presents as a female and goes by the name Rin.
(Brock) Awesome! At least you don't have to employ a referee as well. They can get expensive after a while. I'd love to say I can show you around but we have business to attend to. Next time I'll let you guys have a look around, ok? Don't worry the office is mobile, we will get around plenty! After all, You're looking at the next Pokemon Master. Both Lola and Flint had different flavors of incredulous looks on their faces. Just what kind of monster was their son friends with!? Both of them thought as the boys got in the air on Charizard and Pidgeot. (Lola) Did you notice that Pikachu? (Flint) That tiny titan should be an absolute unit by now. (Lola) What do you mean love? (Flint) I gave him a power boost with the old hydro-electric dam.
(Lola) So that's what happened to that place! (Flint) scratched the back of his head mareepishly. Yes dear, I was trying to spark the traveler in our son. Now look at him! The youngest Pokemon Doctor in a century. Gym Leader, Breeder, and now he works with that boy. If we take him at his words, the next Pokemon Master. (Lola) I hope those boys take care of themselves and each other. (Flint) Don't worry honey, those boys are special! Wait and see what kind of men they grow in to.
As the hatch to the ship opened up the boys disappeared into the behemoth. A few moments later the ship whisked away at impressive speeds for such a large carrier. (Brock) Thanks girl, I appreciate the ride up
Pidgeot cooed at Brock in response which he smiled at. Ok you two that is for the assistance, you're free to do whatever you want. (Charizard/Pidgeot) You got it Captain! Then flew off to do their own thing. (Iris) Ash! You're back already! Yeah, I brought back our new permanent resident Pokemon Doctor. (Cilan) Brock! (Brock) Cilan!? They both turned to look at Ash and they laughed out loud. (Cilan) Ha ha we were ha ha talking about the same ha ha ha! (Brock) Hahahahahaha! Yup that makes perfect sense when it comes to Ash Ketchum. (Ash/Iris) What the hell is going on here!? (Brock) Well you see.. Cilan and I met years ago during our last life. We talked about our good friend without ever mentioning his name to the other. (Cilan) Little did either of us know we were both talking about Ash. (Iris) Ooooooohhh I get it! I just looked at my friends and shook my head. You guys are the best! I'm glad that you met one another and that one of your bonding points was me. I shrugged at that, they did too, Well! Brock Slate, this is Iris from the Village of Dragons. This gentleman joining us is Ian Strouse he is our pilot. This young lady coming after him is your predecessor Lexi.
(Ian) Benny! We need you on the deck, now!
Sorry about that Captain, Benny is our Mechanical Engineer, if anything goes wrong on the ship Benny can fix it. There was a clamoring up the stairs, while this was going on. Dexter, dial Scott *ring*ring*ring* (Scott) Hello Ash, prompt, I like that. Hey Scott yeah, I told you three days and here I am returning with that answer. Come here Brock! He stepped over to be included in the call. Here he is Scott, Brock Slate youngest Pokemon Doctor in a Century. He is in need of place to do his residency. I figure the Battle Frontier to be a worthy place to do that residency, no? (Scott) Are you prepared for this undertaking Brock? (Brock) Yes sir, I have been preparing for something like this for some time now. I have a docket with all my information on it even a digital format version of it. (Scott) Excellent! Put the usb in the port and I will do the rest. In the meantime welcome to the team! Get yourself comfortable and into a room and familiarize yourself with your new home away from home. If Ash is to be believed you'll be here for quite some time. (Brock) I look forward to the journey Scott, thank you for the opportunity to work in my chosen fields. (Scott) As a Battle Frontier employee you can be asked to take part in Tag-Battles with Ash vs others. If your Captain deems it necessary you may even stand in for him. Such is your intimacy with his team, so to will your permissions with them be. I am ok with that! I don't think that will be the case but I can't think of anyone else who could stand in for me.
(Ian) Benny Maxwell this is our Captain, Ash Ketchum. This young man next to him is our permanent Medic, Brock Slate. (Lexi) Well Doctor Slate, follow me. We should get you comfortable with your work environment. *Flash* Croagunk was next to his trainer, You better not even think about it Lover Boy! (Brock) Hey Croagunk, I didn't even do anything! (Croagunk) That's right, and you're not gonna either, Doc! (Lexi) Is your Croagunk always this lively? (Brock) He is use to keeping me in check from time to time. As they disappeared down the corridor (Scott) I didn't think his credentials would be as impressive as they are. Even without your endorsement, I would hire him for the job! I'll take care of details with him later on. Ok, I'll let you finish up with your crew, later Ash *click* the call ended. Hello Benny I'm Ash Ketchum, these guys call me Captain.
