*Route 3*
Adam was now lying on a grass field with his eyes closed.
Both A and B were out of their pokeballs.
He slowly stood up as he looked up at the clouds.
'It is going to rain soon'
He recalled A back into the pokeball and climbed onto B's back.
"Go forward, stop if you see the gate"
He ordered as the gyarados started moving.
He held on for safety as he rode on B towards cerulean city.
They traveled for an hour as Adam saw the gate to cerulean city.
He jumped down and recalled B back into the pokeball.
After confirming his i.d he heard a interesting news from the guard.
"Be careful there have been a case of burglary today"
Adam thanked the guard as he stepped into cerulean city.
'Didn't ash and his friends already leave?'
'I thought they were already in vermillion city'
'According to memories team rocket tried to steal their Pokemon while they were in the gym'
Adam went to the Pokemon center and healed his Pokemon.
'Even though they are not injured this is a habit I developed from playing the games'
Adam went to check out the pokemart.
While he was searching he found a very sharp fang on the shelf.
'A razor fang!' Adam quickly bought it for 300$.
' Time to challenge the gym'
Adam walked towards the gym's direction.
While walking he saw a spiky haired kid with thin eyebrows.
'Brock?'Adam approached the boy to confirm his suspicion.
Brock just seperated from Ash when he saw a trainer approach.
Before he could say anything the trainer placed his hands on his shoulders and spoke with utmost seriousness
"Write letters to your family"
Brock quickly nodded at the threat.
The trainer left after saying that.
He went in the direction towards the gym.
'I hope he doesn't think I am a wierdo'
He looked at the gym's entrance.
He took in a deep breath and he entered the gym.
As he stepped inside he saw a orange haired girl and the anime's protagonist fighting in the centre.
A Pikachu was observing the battle with three other trainers.
One of them saw Adam and spoke up"sorry our gym leader is fighting another trainer would you mind waiting"
Adam saw them as he recalled his memory.
"Aren't you guys sharing the title?"
The lady seemed a bit surprised as she said"We are not in the mood for fighting so you can challenge our little sister"
Adam nodded and observed the match.
Ash's pidgeotto crashed Misty's starmie Into the wall.
As pidgeotto was preparing for an attack the earth rumbled as a huge vacoom broke through the walls and started sucking in all the Pokemon and water from the water pool.
'Are those two from team rocket?What was going on in Giovanni's mind when he recruited them' Adam thought as he looked at Jessie and James.
Pikachu quickly reacted as he released a thunderbolt on the vacuum which sent sent the two grunts blasting off.
'That was anticlimactic and how are they even gonna survive that?' Adam stared at the yellow mouse as if it were a psychopath.
Adam released A when he saw that the vacuum was still working.
"Metal claw rip & tear"
A charged at the vacuum as he started ripping it apart which released the Pokemon trapped inside.
The released pokemon looked at Adam and Ash in gratitude.
The three sisters walked upto Adam and Ash.
"You two saved the gym from those guys I will give you the cascade badge as our thanks"
Ash and Adam recieved the badge which angered Misty as she started arguing with her sisters about how they don't deserve it if they didn't beat the gym.
Adam tuned out his surrounding as he was lost in thought.
'I have many questions on how they even invaded the gym'
He looked at the badge.
'should I report this to the association that they bribed us with a badge to keep quiet' Adam thought but quickly rejected the idea.
Adam then saw that the sisters calmed Misty down.
Ash looked at Adam and A as he spoke"Wow you have a nidoking and its really strong"
Adam did not know how to respond to that.
Ash saw that the atmosphere was becoming awkward so he asked"Where are you going next?"
"Vermillion city"Adam replied.
"Then would you like to come with us? Our next destination is the same"Ash asked.
Adam thought for a moment.
"Sure, my name is Adam" He gave Ash a handshake.
"I am Ash"The boy smiled as he shook Adam's hand.
Misty who was observing their interaction said with a hint of frustration" I am Misty"
Adam nodded at her and the trio left the gym.
