Kapitel 200: 200. The Hoenn Adventure Begins

When he woke up the next day, he felt full of energy and ready to battle.

"Mom, I'm going to the Professor's Laboratory to take a look at my Pokémon's!" The second thing he did when he got home was, of course, to take a look at all his Pokémon's at the same place.

So after breakfast, Ash couldn't wait to go out.

"Huh?" Standing on top of the large hillside of Pallet Town, Ash clearly saw a big golden bird flying in the direction of the Hoenn Region in the morning glow.

"Gary has already left?" When Ash arrived at Professor Oak's Laboratory, he heard that Gary had already left before they could meet each other.

"Gary told me that he had found a new goal. I guess he was too excited to wait for you his time!" Tracey thought he could understand Gary's mood a little.

"He said he wanted to return to where he started, taking only his Starter Pokémon Blastoise and leaving all his other Pokémon behind to rest. Now we don't know when he will come back the next time!"

Professor Oak was very happy with Gary's growth, "By the way, Ash, what are your plans right now?"

"I plan to stay in Pallet Town for a few days to hang out with my Pokémon's, and then I would take Dratini and Pikachu with me to the Hoenn Region!" Ash said his plan very honestly.

Bringing Pikachu was inevitable, and bringing Dratini was planned by him from the beginning he caught Dratini.

It takes a lot of energy to cultivate a Pseudo-Legendary, so Dratini must be one of Ash's resident Pokémon during his trip to the Hoenn Region. It won't be exchanged easily!

In addition, Ash also plans to use the Book of Boarding to bring all his Unown's with him, as well as the GS Ball hanging around his neck, which contains the little sleeping Celebi.

Arriving at the backyard of Professor Oak's Laboratory, Ash first found his Slowking and said, "Slowking, thank you for your hard work while I wasn't here!"

Slowking had always carried Macho Brace on him, and now he looks stronger than he should. It slowly turned around, looked at Ash with his very intelligent eyes, and slowly showed a smile, "Ash, you are back just like I sensed you when you came back. Just in time too, come with me!"

Under the leadership of Slowking, Ash came to a large beautiful waterfall, where his Suicune was staying, and under the waterfall, it was Ash's Dratini.

It turns out that he had completed another molting again!

"That's great, Dratini!" Dratini came to Ash's side and coiled around him in a flash. Feeling its power, Ash immediately smiled and said, "You have grown up a lot since I first caught you!"

Carrying his Dratini on his back, Ash found his Rhydon was sparring with his Tyranitar.

"Rhydon, buddy, it's time for you to evolve!"

Hearing Ash's voice, Rhydon suddenly burst out with strength, pushing Tyranitar back a step, and then strode to Ash's side with longing and expectation in his eyes!

"Haha, after you evolve, you will be even bigger than Tyranitar!" Ash smiled and handed the Protector he exchanged from the System Store for his Rhydon to evolve!

The color of the Protector created by the System is close to a reddish gold color, not the orange like the real one. Someone can feel its hardness just by touching it!

The result is just as Ash's expected, under the light of evolution, Rhydon's body was constantly expanding, and it does not stop until it reaches the height of 3.5 meters that his Tyranitar dreamed of.

His body was very terrifyingly strong now, and its waistline is much too thick. Its whole body is covered in a red-gold plate armor with the appearance resembling that of a the Protector he used to evolve with, which shows its strong defensive power.

The most frightening thing is the pair of long-awaited strong arms. This is something that even his Tyranitar would envy.

Rhyperior can stuff rocks into the holes in the palm and launch it with the power of his muscles. It is extremely powerful and fast!

"RHYPERIOR!"

After the evolution, Rhyperior roared loudly. When Ash nodded, he turned back and struck Tyranitar. It couldn't wait to try the powerful power after completing his evolution!

Watching the battle between the two bosses giants, Phanpy jumped up and down with excitement. It was looking forward to having such a powerful power.

————————————————————

"Ash, these are some new clothes and backpack! I knew you would go out again soon after you came back, so I prepared them all in advance!"

After staying at home for a few days, Ash carefully checked and confirmed the status of all his Pokémon, and finally decided to go to the Hoenn Region as his next destination. Just as he was about to say goodbye to his mother, she was already standing in front of his holding all of his new belongings.

"Mothers understand the mood of their children the best, so you have to travel well and don't leave any regrets for yourself." In addition to the new equipments, Delia also prepared a first class S.S Ticket to Hoenn for Ash.

After bidding farewell to his Mother, Ash then went to Professor Oak's Laboratory and obtained the Pokémon Pokédex that Professor Oak recently researched on, which contains most of the Hoenn Region Pokémon's data.

"Ash, the reward I promised you will be fulfilled soon enough. Just go on your trip without any regrets. The Alliance and I will always be your strongest backers!"

Professor Oak patted Ash on his shoulders. The young boy who was late to even getting his Starter Pokémon has grown into such a reliable Trainer. He will definitely become a Pokémon Master and become the pride of the Kanto Region!

"Yes, Professor Oak, then I'll be off!"

After leaving Pallet Town, Ash went to the Pallet Harbor and boarded the passenger ship to head to his next big challenge, the Hoenn Region!

His goal was simple, becoming the Hoenn Ever Grande Conference Champion!

This trip on the sea will be much longer than before. After all, the two regions are far apart. It is rare for Ash to enjoy such a peaceful sea journey without someone interrupting him.

"It's so leisurely. Pikachu, Dratini, why don't you think this passenger ship holds a Pokémon battle contest or something?"

"Pi pi pi!"

Ash was a little too idle. He had been sailing at sea for two days and had nothing to do except let Dratini go to the sea to bully some of the Water-type Pokémon's he encountered along the way.

He wanted to take his Phanpy with him too but he wanted to train under Tyranitar and Ash's newly evolved Rhyperior for some time before he went with Ash.

Finally, they can see the shadow of Littleroot Town on the horizon.

"Hoenn Region, here we come!"

Ash walked off the ship with his Pikachu on his shoulder, looked back at the direction of the cargo hold for a few seconds, but he ultimately decided to ignore them because he was not in any mood to deal with them.

"Pikachu, now we are in the Hoenn Region!" With that, Ash took his first step towards the Hoenn Region and his next journey.

And just form the direction of the cargo bay where Ash was looking, the Rockets Trio emerged form it.

In fact, the Rockets Trio have been following Ash and his group since they left Silver Town.

They set up their hot Air Baloon and followed behind Ash to Molly's wnd and her dads home. They then secretly followed Ash and his group into the plane, and returned to the Pokémon Center where they first met Ash.

After that, they decided that they would continue to follow Ash and target his Pikachu for the rest of their lives until they finally catch it for their boss!

During the Silver Conference, with the encouragement of Ash, the Rockets did very well in their business and made a lot of money, so they were able to repay a small part of their organizational debt back to their boss.

Now they are full of hope for their future. They wanted to pay off their debts first before anything else.

Ash didn't even care about them right now. Although they caused him a lot of extra unnecessary trouble for him, they did also help him a lot, even if they were the reason he was there in the first place. They have known each other for a very long time, so there is always that small feeling between them.

Now Ash wants to go to Littleroot Town and first visit Professor Birch first before he could go anywhere else.

"Hello, I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" After arriving at Professor Birch Laboratory, he was greeted by the Professor's assistant.

"Ash, welcome to the Hoenn Region. Professor Birch has already explained your matter to us! I'm really sorry but Professor Birch went into the wild for his research purposes just now!"

The assistant looked quite embarrassed, but Ash thought it was no problem at all for him, and also felt very impressed by Professor Birch.

Harrison also said that Professor Birch is a Pokémon Professor who pays great attention to field observation. His ability to act like this just shows his deep love for Pokémon and their natural habits.

"In this case, can I go find Professor Birch? It just so happens that I also want to take a brief walk around here to see the Pokémon that can be found in this part of the Hoenn Region."

The assistant saw the Pikachu on Ash's shoulder and knew that this was one of the strongest Pokémon's belonging to the Champion of the Johto Region Silver Conference. Of course, he was not worried that Ash and Pikachu would encounter any danger nearby to them , so he agreed very easily but still told them to be careful.

Ash took Pikachu into the nearby jungle. Speaking of Hoenn Region, Ash had almost completely forgotten the plot after being in this world for about a year and even in his last life because it was so long ago to him.

The only memory he still some of the core stuff from the previous Pokémon Emerald game. It was at that time that Professor Birch was attacked by a wild weak Zigzagoon at the beginning of the game.

He will ask the nearby protagonist to select a Royal Starter Pokémon from his backpack and help him drive away the Zigzagoon.

Ash don't know what things he will encounter in this world since it was all so real to him, but Ash is still looking forward to his trip around the Hoenn Region.

Although he would never leave his old Pokémon in the backyard of Professor Oak Laboratory without them being supervised and trained under one of his older Pokémon's, in a way, he had the same idea as Gary. He came to a new Region with a new power, catching new Pokémon's to use and training them to be stronger than they could ever expect. To make new friends and rivals around his the journey.

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu's ears pricked up, as if he had discovered something close to them, and he quickly took Ash to the grass and to the nearby car!

Ash's whole body flashed with blue a light, and he suddenly laughed outloud. He didn't expect that the plot in this reality was so similar to the one from the game!

On a hillside deeper in the jungle, Professor Birch accidentally stepped on nothing but air and fell down hard, which happened to anger a few Poochyena's that was living there.

When he fell, he dropped his backpack on the hillside. At the moment, he was unarmed and could only climb up the trunk and hold on to the branches to prevent himself from being attacked.

But this obviously won't last long because he was too heavy for the weak branch.

At this time, a Rookie Trainer happened to be riding by, and Professor immediately asked her help by using the Poké Ball in his backpack to help drive away these wild Poochyenas.

The girl, who looked be around 16 years old, threw a Poké Ball at random, and what came out was a blue colored Pokémon. It was Mudkip, the Water-type Royal Starter Pokémon for the Hoenn Region!

But this girl didn't seem to understand what a Trainer should do. She followed Professor Birch's instructions and said "Water Gun", and was instead sprayed by the Mudkip on her face.

Ash used his power over Aura to sense all this from a distance. When he rushed there himself, the girl was already very soaked, and the branch Professor Birch was holding was broken, causing him to fall down.

"Pikachu, Thunder Shock!"

The strong yet held back thunder accurately landed between Professor Birch and the several Poochyenas. The Poochyenas were immediately frightened away when they heard and saw the reason.

Not only that, but the bicycle the girl rode over was electrocuted and turned into a piece of scrap.

Seeing such a scene, Ash didn't even want to complain about it. Misty's bicycle had just been repaired, but now another one was scrapped by him.

His Pikachu definitely has a issue with bikes.

Kapitel 201: 201. A Traveling Companion

"What a powerful Thunder Shock attack!"

Professor Birch was now out of danger, and the first thing he did was to observe Ash and his Pikachu's sudden appearance, "It's really a very well-developed Pikachu!"

Ash looked apologetically at the charred bicycle behind the beautiful girl, "I'm Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, and this is my Pikachu, I'm really sorry about your bike, I will definitely pay for your bicycle!"

Fortunately, bicycles in the real world are not that expensive as Misty showed all those years ago, so the money Ash has in hand is more than enough to pay as a compensation.

"Uh, no, no, no, it's all an accident... Oh yeah. Hello, I'm May from Petalburg City!"

Now the current Ash is strong, tall, and has a handsome face (Red), and he still has that aura of being a powerful trainer. When May, a newbie, faces Ash, she fely a little embarrassed and blushed after seeing him!

"I will buy you a new bicycle when I get a chance!" Ash did not dwell on the topic of the bicycle anymore after this. He took the Poké Ball from May's hand, turned around and looked at the Water-type blue cutie and smiled and said , "Mudkip, come back!"

After he took Mudkip back to its Poké Ball, Ash jumped down the hillside, and also Pikachu jumped up back on his shoulder, "Professor Birch, are you okay?"

"Are you that Ash that Professor Oak called about?" Professor Birch recognized Ash at a glance but wanted to make sure that it was indeed him, "You came to save me just in time!"

"May, please excuse me, it's been a while since I last saw you, and you've become as beautiful as your mother!" Although May couldn't help him, Professor Birch still thanked May for trying.

"No, I didn't help you at all. It was all thanks to Ash and his Pikachu that you are safe!" May knew that she did not help little at all right now.

In fact, she is very bad at handling Pokémon, and she doesn't want even want to become a Pokémon Trainer. She just wants to travel around and see the world, just without any Pokémon's.

"So you already know each other!" Professor Birch stopped thinking about introducing the two of them, "Sure enough, young people get to know each other quickly!"

"Alright then then, May, you're here to choose your first Pokémon, right?"

With that said, the Professor looked at Ash and invited him too, "Ash, would you like to come and have a look too? I'm really sorry that I ran out of the field in excitement and forgot that you and May will be arriving soon in the Lab! I just thought of something wanted to test it."

Of course Ash wants to take a good look at the three Royal Starter Pokémon's from the Hoenn Region!

Back at Professor Birch Laboratory, there were three Poké Balls placed in front of May. Professor Birch picked up one of them and said, "First of all... is this one."

The first one to be released was a green gecko with cute big yellow eyes and a large green tail.

But Treecko just looked at May, and she was immediately startled and stepped back a couple times, "Why is staring at me like that?"

"Treecko, the Grass-type Starter, now that's a Pokémon I want!" Ash's fighting style mainly revolves on high speed and attacks, so agile Pokémon like Treecko and Sceptile are very suitable for him.

Seeing that Ash already knew the names of the three Royal Starters from the Hoenn Region, Professor Birch was surprised and asked, "Ash, do you already know some of the Pokémon's from the Hoenn Region?"

Ash nodded a little, "I know a little bit. I met Harrison and his Blaziken during the Silver Conference! On the way here, I browsed through the Pokémon Pokédex when I had nothing to do an researched it!"

"So it turns out to be Harrison again. It's really impressive that you were able to defeat him. After all, he's strong!" Professor Birch nodded, and then released the second Pokémon, which was Mudkip.

"You've seen this one before, this is the Water-type Starter Mudkip!" Professor Birch introduced.

"But this Mudkip didn't even want to listen to my words just now!" It was obvious that May would not choose this Mudkip for personal reasons.

So Professor Birch opened the third Poké Ball, which is the pre-evolution form of Blaziken, Torchic!

As soon as this Torchic with the three not so small feathers on its head came out, it ran to May's feet and rubbed her leg with its face. It was obvious that she liked this May very much even though they haven't met before.

"This one is so cute, I want this one!" May picked up her Torchic and said, "Okay, I decided to chose this Torchic as my Starter!"

This completes the selection of May's Starter Pokémon. Professor Birch also gives the May a Pokémon Pokédex and six empty Poké Balls to catch some Pokémon's.

"Work hard, you can definitely become a Pokémon Trainer that surpasses your father with some hard work!" After giving her Torchic's Poké Ball, Professor Birch said all that to encourage May.

Hearing this, May had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod, "Yes!"

Seeing Professor Birch put away the other two Starter Pokémon's, Ash also stood up, "Then Professor Birch, I have to say my goodbye here too!"

"Okay, Ash, I wish you a pleasant journey!" Professor Birch sent the two of them to the door, "Next, you have to go to the Pokémon Center and log in to participate in the Hoenn Region Ever Grande Conference!

"I know that!"

This is the same as in Johto Region Silver Alliance, except there is no Pokémon Center in Littleroot Town, so he has to go to the next town, which is Oldale Town to register his name.

And May and her little Torchic became very familiar with each other in the very short time they were there for.

One thing about Pikachu is that no matter how powerful he gets, he still likes to play with Pokémon that are similar in size to himself.

"That... Ash!" May hesitated but finally called out to Ash.

Ash was just about to call Pikachu on the way for their separation, when he heard May wants to say something, "What's the matter, May?"

"How about we go to Oldale Town together? I know the way, I'll take you there!"

This girl used the excuse that she knew the way, but actually she just wanted to go with him, which Ash could sense very well with his Aura Sense.

From Petalburg City to Oldale Town, May rode a bicycle so that she could avoid the wild Pokémon on the road as much as possible.

But even so, she was scared to death along the way by a Duskull. Although she was looking forward to traveling, she knew that she couldn't travel all alone now, so she decisively chose to go with Ash for now, which looked to be a safe choice.

Of course Ash would not refuse her, the more traveling companions the better, not to mention that May is also very beautiful in his eyes!

[May's Picture]

After his time with Misty, Ash felt something awaken within him. That made him want to have Special Bonds with humans too, female to be exact.

"I see, then Ash, please take care of May, she is just a newbie!" Professor Birch and May's father Norman are very good friends, so of course they take care of their families.

Ash's character and strength are recognized by the entire Pokémon Alliance, not to mention Professor Oak himself. He is relieved of see thag May can travel with Ash. At least that would somewhat guarantee her safety during her journey.

"By the way, May, just leave your bicycle with me first. I will repair it for you and then send it back to your home. Just like Ash, you should be down-to-earth and travel! Ash is already a very powerful Trainer. You can definitely learn a lot from him!" Professor Birch warned May one last time.

"Yes Professor! Then let's go!"

The two waved their hands together, then turned and hit the road.
