After a challenge of a boy named Samurai in Viridian Forest and Team Rocket interference was dealt with, we now find our heroes arriving in Pewter City.

[Break Scene]

"Yatta! We're here at last!" mairin cheered and "Finally!" Mairin gasped for some air.

ash laughed, while Alain shook his head in a amused matter.

"Come on!" mairin laughed and began to run towards Pewter City where ash will earn her first gym badge.

"Wait up!" ash exclaimed.

"Che Chespin!" Chespie exclaimed worriedly, running after her trainer.

"Mairin! Don't run so fast, you'll hurt yourself!" ash scolded as she walked down the path with pikachu on her shoulder.

"I don't know what's worst. Kids having so much energy or 24/7 of Mairin's complaining." Alain said.

ash giggled.

Speaking of the young kids and their Pokémon, were currently standing on a rock looking at the town.

Mairin frowned, "This is nothing but grey colour." She said.

"That's because Pewter City is grey." A voice said.

Mairin and her Pokémon looked down to the source of the voice and they saw a man with a beaded wearing shabby clothes and a red beanie, sitting below them.

"The colour of stone, this town has always been famous for stone." The man continued.

The kid at the strange man.

"Who are you mister?" mairin asked.

"The names Flint and your standing on my merchandise, young  lady." Flint replied.

"Ah."  Mairin gasped immediately as she hopped off the rock. "I am sorry for stepping on your merchandise mister." she bowed in apology.

" Mairin!" A familiar voice called out.

Mairin turned around seeing her older sibling.

"ash-nee Chan" mairin run to ash and told her about what happen.

ash bowed polity to the man, "I'm sorry for my imoto for stepping on your merchandise, sir." She said.

"sorry for Mairin." Alain said.

The man looked at the two older kids directly, "Now, I don't see trainers like you two anymore. Anyway would you like to buy one?"

ash shook her head, "No thank you sir." She turned to the others, "Let's go to the Pokémon Centre, our Pokémon need to be check up."

They left the strange man and began to walk into the city.

"Um, maybe they are the ones Brock been waiting for." Flint whispered, watching the walking retreating group of trainers.

As ash and company arrived at the Pokémon Centre, they immediately gave their Pokémon to Nurse Joy.

ash wanted to make sure that her Pokémon were in tip top shape for their gym battle today.

"Also, Nurse Joy. Could I please resister for the Pokémon League?" ash asked.

"Of course you can ashley." Nurse Joy replied.

"Huh?"

ash blinked, "How do you know my name?"

Nurse Joy giggled, "That's not all, I know Alain, Mairin  here." She said.

"Eh? This isn't Viridian City?" Mairin looked around the centre.

"My sister from Viridian City Pokémon Centre told me about you lot." Nurse Joy explained, "She even told me about Team Rocket encounter."

"I see." ash said.

"Now, you wanted to resister for the Pokémon League, right?"

"Hai."

"Okay, I will need your Pokédex."

ash took out her Pokédex and handed it to the Nurse of Pewter City, she slot it into the computer and type a few keys on the keyboard.

"Ash Mew Ketchum of Pallet Town." A mechanical male voice said, then on the computer screen showed a picture of ash and information beside her. "Welcome to the Kanto; Indigo League."

"There you go ash. Your all registered into the Kanto League." Nurse Joy smiled as she handed back ash's Pokédex.

ash smiled and took back her Pokédex, placing it into her pocket, "Thank you Nurse Joy."

Soon we find our heroes inside a restaurant, eating some lunch.

"You know ashley, I found it hard to believe that's your full name I heard." Mairin commented.

ash smiled a bit amused, "Ashley  Mew Ketchum is indeed my full name, it's a mouth full. So I stick with ashley Ketchum." She said. "Trust me your not the first to say that's my full name. " She smirked.

"What about Mew where did that come from?" Mairin asked.

Alain sat here silently listening, he also wondered if his little sister would stop asking questions.

"But to be honest with you, I have never met our father after he left, I have heard stories on him from aunt but never met him in our life after that."

"Seriously?" Mairin said astonished.

"Seriously."

"Mew, came from my favorite Pokémon mew" ash said.

"Definitely."

"How about no more questions and finished our lunch, go and get out Pokémon from the Pokémon Centre and then head to the Pewter Gym." Alain cut in before his little sister could ask anymore question.

"Okay." Mairin pouted and went back to finishing her lunch.

"I will show you a thing after my gym battle, ok?" before continuing to eat the rest of there lunch.

[Break Scene]

Upon gathering there Pokémon from the Pokémon Centre, it was time for ash to battle against the Pewter Gym leader and obtain her first gym badge.

"Look! There it is!" Mairin yelled pointing to a building with some giant stone rocks surrounding it.

ash opened the doors, which were heavier than they look, they all walked in and notice the place was dark on the inside.

"Hello?! Is anyone here?!" mairin called out.

...

...

...

No one answered.

"Are they out?" ash wondered.

Alain looked around, "I don't think so." He feels another presence. [ Alain isn't psychic or anything he feels the presence around because of his battle experience.]

"Who goes there?" A male voice boomed the silent area.

The gang looked up, seeing a teenage who looked slightly older than Alain, but since he was the one that answered, he was the gym leader.

"My names ashley Ketchum from Pallet Town and I challenge you to a gym battle!" She said.

The teen nodded, "Alright then, I accept your challenge!" He said.

The lights suddenly came on showing a young brown skinned young man with spiky brown hair and squinted eyes, wearing an orange shirt, sleeveless jacket, brown pants and white shoes.

"A gym battle is different from a normal battle, you do realise that, right?" The teen stated.

"Of course." ash nodded.

Mairin titled her head confusion about what the older boy meant.

"Gym leaders have an arsenal of Pokémon at their disposal and while they're not as strong as the Elite Four they are still at a high level ranking members of their gym." Alain explained, seeing how his little sister was confused.

"Ohh." Mairin nodded.

"Why don't we get off the battle field." Alain said as he pointed to the stands on the side.

"Good luck ash- nee-chan." mairin said. "You too pikachu."

Pika!" pikachu waved to them.

"Chespin!"

"Thanks." ash smiled.

As both trainer where on the side of the battle field, a young boy who looked like a younger version of the gym leader came out and stood on the referee stand.

"This will be a 2-on-2 gym battle between Brock the Pewter City Gym Leader and ashley Ketchum from Pallet Town. The gym leader Brock will call out his Pokémon first. Both trainers are not able to switch Pokémon while battling." Forrest, Brock's younger brother named announced them.

'Um, so you can't switch.' ash thought.

"Are both trainers ready?" Forrest asked.

Brock merely nodded.

"Yep." ash replied.

"Battle Begin!"

Brock took out a Pokéball and called out his Pokémon, "Geodude, let's go!" Out came a grey boulder type Pokémon with two rock muscle arms.

"Geodude!" It cried.

ash took out her Pokédex and scanned the Pokémon.

[Geodude, the Rock Pokémon. Geodude has incredibly high defensive power, making it virtually resistant to any physical attacks.]

"Um,pikachu are you up for a challenge?" ash asked her partner.

"Pikapi! " pikachu jumped of her trainers shoulder and onto the rocky battlefield.

Brock raised a brow, "Your going to use an Electric-type Pokémon?" He questioned in disbelief.

"Yeah, is there a problem?"ash asked, since she already knows the answer.

"Electric-type moves have no effect on Rock and Ground-type Pokémon." Brock stated but not out of the malice just merely giving advice as a Gym Leader should.

"Ah, I know, no worries. pikachu knows other types of move not just Electric-type." ash smirked, "pikachu, Iron Tail."

"Pika!"pikachu ran across the field towards the rock Pokémon has her tail glowed a metallic colour.

Brock gasped, Steel-type move was one of the Rock and Ground-type weakness.

As the Iron Tail was about to struck the rock Pokémon, Brock quickly ordered it to dodge but it was too late.

pikachu struck the Iron Tail directly sending Geodude crash to the ground as dust appeared around the fallen Pokémon.

"Geodude!" Brock exclaimed.

{skip the battle sorry I am not good at it }

With the Boulder Badge inash's possession, we now found our heroes as they make their way to Mt. Moon, which will lead them to Cerulean City and site for ash's next gym badge.
