Baby Pokemon and Mount Moon

Chapter 4. Baby Pokemon and Mount Moon.

As Ash walked back to the Pokemon centre he looked over the town map that he had bought back at Viridian city. According to the map the next closest city to Pewter was Cerulean city. It was about a weeks walk from Pewter and held its own Pokemon gym, he knew that Misty was from Cerulean and decided to ask her about the city. "Hey Misty, according to the map the next city we should head to is Cerulean. Aren't you from there?"

She looked kinda nervous as she answered. "Uhh yea, I used to live at the Gym there with my 3 older sisters. We all trained using water type pokemon together for as long as I can remember. But they were always bossy and mean to me, and they never really liked pokemon battling. So I decided to leave the gym to go on a journey of my own. I hope they aren't being idiots and just handing out free badges or something, it'd be just like them to not want to actually battle trainers for the gym." She was getting angry at the though of her lazy older sisters ruining the reputation of her fathers gym, so Ash decided to not press the matter further. However because Misty came from the gym and was a water type specialist, he could now assume that the Cerulean gym used water type Pokemon, and his Pikachu would be very useful in his gym battle there.

Ash was deep in thought, planning his battle at the Cerulean gym and thinking up new strategies and combinations to teach his pokemon when they arrived back at the Pokemon centre. They had each booked rooms for two nights, so they decided to leave tomorrow morning. It was only 4 in the afternoon, so Ash decided to head to the training field once again to work on his new strategies with his pokemon.

Misty joined him, but this time she decided to join him in his training. As she released her pokemon he realised that this was actually the first time that he was seeing any of her pokemon. She had a Staryu, a Starmie and a Goldeen. They were all clearly water types, as Ash expected. HE quickly scanned each one with his pokedex to see what level they were and what moves they had. her Starmie was level 20. It knew Water gun, swift, harden, tackle and Bubblebeam. Her Staryu was level 18, and knew Water gun, Swift, Harden and tackle. And finally her Goldeen was level 16 and knew Peck, Supersonic, Horn attack, flail and Water pulse. Ash was pleasantly surprised to see that Misty had such strong pokemon, and asked her if she would like to train with him and his Pokemon. She was surprised at his request but knew that it would be a great way for her to make her own pokemon stronger so agreed happily.

Ash had his Growlithe work with misty and her water types. She was level 16 at the moment and he wanted her to be at least level 30 before he evolved her with his fire stone. He asked Misty to help growlithe work on her water resistance, as well as speed and dodging abilities. He then left Pidgeotto and Scizor to work on the same thing they had been practising before the gym battle and took the newly evolved Wartortle and Pikachu with him into the nearby forest for some one on one battling and training. They found a small clearing about 50 meters into the forrest that looked perfect for some intense training. He started things off by having the two spar in a mock battle. Wartortle looked reluctant to attack Pikachu, but was promptly fine with it as he was hit by a pretty powerful thundershock. He glared at Pikachu as she stuck her tongue out at him. He narrowed his eyes and retaliated, starting an intense battle that lasted over half an hour.

By the end of the battle both Pokemon were exhausted, just As Ash had been planning. The two were sweating and panting profusely as he gave them an evil grin. "Now that you're both good and tired, its time for the real training to begin." They both sweatdropped and glared at their master. "Ok. start off with 15 laps around this clearing each and then I want each of you to do 50 push ups." The two groaned, but started running nevertheless as he watched them with a sadistic smile. 10 minutes later and they had both finished the laps and push ups. He could tell that they were completely exhausted. He knew that this boot like style training method was very brutal. But it was very effective and he was positive that they would both be much fitter, stronger and faster in no time. But for now, they were both on the verge of unconsciousness. He decided to pity them and was about to recall Wartortle and head back to the Pokemon centre when he heard a faint sound coming from further into the forest.

He was curious as to what could be making such a strange sound this deep in the forest. It was probably a pokemon, but the sound was faint and high pitched. Not the kind of sound one would expect from a normal wild pokemon. As he followed the sound with an exhausted Pikachu and Wartortle in tow, the faint sounds grew louder. But as he neared the source of the sound he realised that something was wrong. It was weak and high pitched. And it sounded like the cries of a baby or injured Pokemon. He was getting worried now as he frantically looked around for the Pokemon that was crying out. The trees around him were now thick and gnarled. Their tangled branches seemed to grab at him as he searched for the source of the pitiful cries.

He pushed his way through an almost solid wall of tangled vines and fell forwards into a tiny clearing in the middle of the forest. The trees that surrounded it seemed to make it smaller than it really was. They loomed in and seemed to be trying to hide the small clearing from unwanted eyes.

The small clearing was about 5 meters by 5 meters and covered with lush green grass. In its centre was a small round Pokemon nest. It was made up of dead leaves, twigs and grass. And the pitiful sounds of a crying Pokemon were coming from inside the nest. Ash made his way to his feet and cautiously walked over to the nest so as not to scare the Pokemon inside the nest with his sudden appearance.

As he crept up to the nest and carefully peered inside, the mewling from inside the nest stopped. He grasped at what he found inside. A small white jackal looking Pokemon was curled up inside the nest. He couldn't recognise its species though. And he had thought he knew every single species of Pokemon native to Kanto. But this one, although still a baby looked like nothing he had ever seen before. It had pale white shiny fur and long pointy ears. Its long bushy tail was tipped with a different shade of brighter white, and a bush mane of the same colour around its neck. It looked up at him with huge innocent black eyes that were full of curiosity and fear. It was very small, and clearly only a few weeks old judging on its size. He was immediately captivated by how insanely cute the baby pokemon was. Its eyes were so large and full of emotion that he found himself drawn in, lost in the depths of how beautiful they were. He had to force his eyes away, as he needed to focus on the task at hand. This was no ordinary Pokemon, and it was still a baby. But where where its parents and why was it all alone in the middle of the forest like this. And even more importantly what type of pokemon was it?

He could answer the last question at least, and pulled his Pokedex from his pocket to scan the Pokemon.

Eevee, The evolution Pokemon. Eevee is rarely seen, and can adapt to severe habitats by evolving, changing its capabilities and form.

Type: Normal

Gender: Female

Size: 11 Inches

Weight: 12 Pounds.

Ability: Adaptability

Level: 3

Attacks: Growl, Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand and Shadow Ball.

Ash's jaw dropped as his Pokedex identified the baby Pokemon in the nest as an Eevee. He had seen plenty of photos of Eevee before, but never seen one in the flesh. But he was 100% sure that Eevee were normally brown coloured. This one looked completely different to every other Eevee he had ever seen or heard of. It was clearly a unique Pokemon, and he had no idea why any it would be all alone here in the middle of the forest. And he knew that he couldn't simply leave it here alone. Without the help of its parents it was surely going to die. So Ash decided to take it back to the Pokemon centre with him and ask nurse joy for help,

So he knelt down next to the nest and unzipped the top of his bag. He rearranged its contents to make it a bit softer, and formed a small hollow near the top. Then he gently leaned over and picked up the baby Eevee, softly cooing soothing words to keep it calm and make it know that he meant it no harm. He gently placed the Eevee in the small makeshift nest he had made in the Top of his bag and smiled as it fit baby Eevee looked content with its new nest and yawned sleepily. He zipped his bag up around Eevee to secure her more safely and then stood up putting his bag on his back. He looked over his shoulder and could just see the top of the Baby Eevees head as she slept in his backpack.

Then he turned to leave, noticing the looks he was getting from Pikachu and Squirtle. By the looks of it they wanted to keep her. But he knew that he needed to get her to nurse Joy first to see what she though on the matter. So he returned Wartortle to his Pokeball and let Pikachu jump onto his shoulder. Then he started making his way back to the Pokemon centre through the thick overgrown trees.

It took him a lot longer to make it back to the clearing he had been training in earlier because he wasn't in a rush and kept checking on the baby Eevee. As he emerged from the forest and into the training ground that he had left his pokemon and Misty he was puzzled when he found that there was no one there. He had only been gone an hour or so he thought to himself. But then as he checked his watch and saw that it was now 8:00 he was amazed at how long he had been in the forest without realising it. Now he needed to find Misty and his POkemon soon because he knew they would definitely be worried. He rushed into the Pokemon centre to look for them.

And when he made it to the front desk he found a red eyed Misty standing with his Pokemon standing huddled together. She was talking to a blue haired lady with a Police officers outfit who was jotting down notes on a notepad as Misty talked, and Nurse Joy stood behind the counter staring wide eyed as the girl talked. He mentally sighed as he realised he had worried Misty and his pokemon a lot by disappearing like that and hoped they would understand. Misty looked like she was filing a missing persons report or something, which seemed a little extreme to him. But as he walked over to the group he was sure he could resolve the issue when he told everyone his reasons for disappearing.

"Hey Misty, so thats where you and my Pokemon are. Ive been looking all over for you guys" He said cheerfully as he approached the desk. The three women standing at the desk all turned to look at him with varying emotions on their face. Nurse Joy looked relieved, and so did the blue haired police officer. But Misty's green eyes were full of lots of conflicting emotions. She was extremely relieved and happy to see Ash safe again. But she was angry at him for disappearing on her and leaving her like that without telling her where he was going. She couldn't decide whether she wanted to run up to him and kiss him right now, or slap him across the face. And after a few seconds she decided on the latter option. Storming over to him with tears welling in her eyes she promptly slapped him across the face leaving a red mark and then stood there in front of him with balled fists yelling at him.

"How could you be so irresponsible Ash! You just left Me and your Pokemon and disappeared into the forest. You didn't tell anyone where you were going, you just left. Do you know how worried iv been since you didn't come back? Where where you and what were you doing in the forest for 4 hours anyway? I was so worried about you I even went to the police station and officer Jenny here was going to help me come look for you. Now it looks like iv just wasted her time. I hope you're happy with yourself Ash Ketchum." Her face was going red and Ash could practically see steam coming out of her ears. He knew now was not the time to be joking around and put up his hands in mock surrender. "I'm sorry for not telling everyone where I was going, I was just going to train Pikachu and Wartortle for a while and then I heard a noise and kinda lost track of time. I swear I didn't mean to make any of you guys worried. And I'm sorry. I should have come back sooner or at least told you where I was going. Please forgive me? I do have a reason for taking so long."

Misty still looked angry but grudgingly accepted his apology. "And what could possibly be a good enough reason for you to disappear into the forest for 4 hours?" She asked still with some anger in her eyes. As Ash turned around and took his backpack off, her eyes instantly widened as she laid eyes on possibly the cutest Pokemon she had ever seen. Lying nestled inside Ash's backpack and curled into a ball was a tiny, furry white pokemon that she had never seen before. But it was so insanely cute that she instantly forgave Ash and started cooing at the Baby pokemon in his bag.

"I was training in a clearing near the centre with Pikachu and Wartortle when I heard a noise. It sounded kind of like a crying pokemon so I decided to investigate. I headed deeper into the woods to look for the Pokemon making the noise. After about half an hour of searching I finally found a tiny clearing in the middle of the forest. There was a Pokemon nest thee that seemed to be abandoned. And inside the nest I found this cute little baby Eevee. I think it was left behind for some reason. Maybe because it looks so different to a normal Eevee its parents didn't want it or something."

Misty barely heard a word he had said as she was engrossed in the Baby. But she did know one thing. "There's no way this is an Eevee Ash. They are Browner than this"

"Yea thats what I thought too but according to my Pokedex this is definitely an Eevee. It just looks different to a normal Eevee for some reason." He said. Misty still looked dubious until Nurse Joy came over to join them and look at the Pokemon. "Well Ash, I must tell you that you have found a very rare Pokemon indeed. It certainly is an Eevee. But it appears to be shiny."

"Uhh what do you mean by Shiny Nurse joy? She isn't shining at the moment she just has a different colour to normal." "Yes, I know it seems like a strange name. But Shiny Pokemon are a real but rare thing. They have slightly better stats than an average pokemon, and while they don't shine they do have a distinct difference i colour when compared to a normal pokemon of that species. For example you probably know Eevee as being brown with a white mane, while this one is a light grey colour. It has different coloured fur because it is a Shiny pokemon and extremely rare. The chances of finding a Shiny Pokemon in the wild are very low. Most trainers will never see a shiny Pokemon in the wild as the chances of finding them are less than 0.01%! You are very lucky to have found yourself one, and a shiny Eevee at that. You better take good care of this Pokemon Ash."

Ash nearly fell over when he heard how rare this Eevee was, especially considering that she was an Eevee and could become a very strong Pokemon when she evolved. Now he wanted to keep her even more, but he knew that he had to give her to Nurse Joy to look after as he had no idea how to raise a baby Pokemon like this. "Well she looks like she's only a few weeks old. So as much as I want to keep her I can't." He held out his backpack to nurse Joy. "I have no idea how to raise a baby pokemon like this Nurse Joy. Can you please keep her and take care of her for me. You'll do a much better job than I ever could. And this Eevee need someone responsible to raise her. Not someone like me." He was getting sad as he held his Backpack out to Nurse Joy to give her Eevee. But was shocked when she just giggled at him.

"I'm afraid giving Eevee to me isn't an option Ash. You see, When baby Pokemon are born they are imprinted with the first Pokemon they see being their parent. However if this "parent" leaves for some reason, then the first Human that they meet will be seen as a foster Parent of sorts. This Eevees real parents left it for some reason, and she was crying and alone in the middle of the forest. But when you came along and found her, you were the first Human she ever saw. So now She will never leave your side. And in time I'm sure she will become one of you most loyal Pokemon." Ash was conflicted as he heard this. He was very happy that he could keep Eevee, but he had no idea how to raise her on his own. "But Nurse Joy, I have no Idea how to raise a baby Pokemon on my own. How can I take Eevee with me if I cant look after her?" He stammered.

"I have a solution to that." Came a deep voice from the door to the Pokemon centre. Everyone was surprised to see Brock, the Pewter city gym leader standing in the doorway. "I'm an accomplished Pokemon breeder and i'm sure I could teach you how to look after Eevee. I can also make you special Pokemon food for her if you want." He said to Ash as he walked over to the group. Ash was thankful for the offer, but didn't know how it would help since he would be leaving tomorrow morning. "Thanks for the offer Brock, but I have to leave tomorrow to go to Cerulean City and I wont have any time to learn how to look after Eevee." He said sadly. "I also have a solution to that. You see, I have been training to become a Pokemon breeder for as long as I can remember. And it has always been my dream to leave home and go on a journey around the world training to become a breeder. After I battled you this morning, I saw a huge amount of Potential in you. And i know that you will be able to accomplish your dream and become a Pokemon Master. This is the perfect chance for me to travel the world. I can come with you and share in your adventures. Im a good cook and can help you with supplies as well as raising and caring for any Eggs or baby Pokemon you have. Please will you take me with you? I swear ill be a good travelling companion."

Ash certainly wasn't expecting this. But he could see the merit in having another person in his travelling group. Especially one with so much pokemon knowledge and who could also cook apparently. This opportunity was too good to pass up. So he came to his decision almost immediately. He held out his hand for Brock to shake "Id love to have you along for the Journey Brock. The more the merrier I always say and I can tell that you will be a great travelling companion and a good friend." Brock smiled and the two shook hands coming to an agreement.

"Ok now I need to go home and get ready to leave as well as say my good byes. Thanks for having me along Ash. Ill meet you at the city gates tomorrow morning at 9. See you tomorrow. And with that said he walked out of the Pokemon centre to go home and get ready. Ash turned to the group of women and Pokemon next to him. "Well it looks like that solves my Eevee problem." He said and then grinned before tapping a pokeball gently on Eevee's head. She gave no resistance and was easily caught. Then Ash handed her Pokeball to nurse Joy and asked her to look after her for him until tomorrow morning when he left for Cerulean. The pink haired nurse smiled and nodded before taking the ball and bidding them goodbye, going to prepare some food for the young Eevee.

After Joy left, Jenny smiled at Misty and accepted the girls apology for wasting her time before she bid them farewell and returned to the police centre. Then, as soon as the two had left Ash and Misty headed to the cafeteria for dinner. And once they had finished their meal they headed up for bed once more. As Ash entered his room to shower and prepare for bed, Misty decided that enough was enough. She needed to stop being so embarrassed and just go for it. So she quickly showered and got into her Pyjamas. Then waited for the sound of Ash's shower to stop before she knocked on the door.

He opened it moments later wearing just boxers. And Misty couldn't help but blush at the sight of his toned upper body and arms. She almost quit at that moment but was determined to go through with her plan. "Ash, can I come in please? I want to talk to you about something." She pleaded with him with wide green eyes. He gave her a kind smile before opening the door wider and inviting her into his small room. It was almost the same as the one they had had in Viridian city, except now it had a double bed. He walked over to the bed and sat down on it. "So what did you want to talk about Misty?"

Now was the part she had feared doing. "Um well you see Ash. I was just so worried when you disappeared earlier. And when you came back I was so mad that I just slapped you. But what I really wanted to do was this" She walked over to him and smashed her lips into his, closing her eyes and hoping that she wasn't making a huge mistake. His eyes widened in shock as his new friend kissed him. But as she did she could feel how tense her body was, and how hard this was for her. Her soft lips were quivering as she pressed them against his, and she seemed like she was about to stop the kiss and run away in embarrassment. He was surprised at her actions but had to admit that he had suspected her doing something like this eventually.

He had noticed the glances she kept shooting at him as they journeyed together, and had suspected she was developing a crush on him. But he was still surprised at her straightforwardness. She was a very attractive girl and she was throwing herself at him like this. He should be ecstatic. And yet he couldn't help but feel guilty as he started kissing her back. He could see Pikachu out of the corner of his eyes as her face drooped. Was he a bad person for kissing Misty after what he and Pikachu had been doing? Was he cheating on Pikachu?

Before he could contemplate further he felt Misty's tongue against his lips as she asked for his permission to enter. He allowed it to and their tongues battled for dominance. Clashing together in a swirl of passion as they started making out heatedly. Misty was so relieved as he started kissing her back that she was lost in the moment. She blocked out everything else and just focused on their lips as they locked together. They continued making out for another 10 minutes before she was finally satisfied. She broke off the kiss and stared into his handsome brown eyes. "Don't ever worry me like that again Ash Ketchum, or ill have to do worse than just slap you" She said to him before giving him another peck on the lips.

He looked kind of dazed as she stood up from his bed. But as she stood up she noticed something in the corner of the room. He saw Pikachu sitting in the corner with a sad look in her eyes as she watched Ash and Misty. realising what she had just done Misty felt terrible. She walked over to the corner and sat down next to Pikachu. "I'm sorry Pikachu I forgot you were here. I was just so worried about Ash earlier and I have wanted to kiss him like that since I met him that I just couldn't help myself.I know you probably thought he would be all yours huh." She said softly as she looked at the small yellow pokemon. Pikachu nodded and looked up at Misty. "Well I hate to break it to you Pikachu, but a really hot guy like Ash isn't going to be able to be with just one person or Pokemon. Its not an uncommon thing for a trainer to have a relationship with more than one of their pokemon. Especially a really hot trainer like Ash. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but within a week, Ash will probably be fucking PIdgeotto and Growlithe. I wouldn't be surprised if when Eevee is old enough she joins in too."

As Misty said this Pikachu looked dejected. "But that doesn't mean you cant have Ash. You were his first pokemon and i'm sure you will always hold a special place in his heart. Its just that you'll need to learn to share with other girls. Besides. If he can do it then why cant you? Im sure Wartortle wouldn't mind if yo unasked him." She said, smiling as Pikachu perked up. "And Besides, a pretty pokemon like you shouldn't be sad abut these kind of things" Said misty as she leaned down and surprised a second person in one night by kissing them passionately. Pikachus eyes widened when Misty kissed her and she pulled away. Its not that she didn't enjoy the kiss, but she was shocked at Misty's bluntness and stared at the girl as she giggle at Pikachus reaction. Don't be so surprised Pikachu. Almost everyone iv met swings both ways. Don't fight it, embrace it. Its more fun that way." And with that she left got up and left the room without another word.

Ash and Pikachu stared at each other for at least a minute as each one digested the information they had learned in Misty's visit. Not only did Misty have a thing for Ash, she apparently swung both ways and liked Pikachu too. Pikachu was still processing the fact that she would probably be sharing Ash from now on. But was surprised when she didn't feel upset about it at all. Besides she could always follow Misty's advice and fuck Wartortle or scizor as well as Ash. She was however having trouble processing the fact that she had enjoyed the Kiss Misty had given her. She had never considered herself to be bisexual. But it seemed like she was as right now all she could think about was Misty and what she had under her dress. She also wondered if Ash would turn out to be bisexual too. If most people were then, he could be as well. She wondered how that would turn out if it was true.

But she was shaken from her thoughts as Ash walked over to her and picked her up. He kissed her to get her attention, and then said "Its true Pikachu. You will always be my first Pokemon and hold a special place in my heart. But I doubt I'm going to be able to exclusively date you. Besides, iv seen it in books. Almost every pokemon trainer in history has had relationships with multiple pokemon in their team of each gender. And Im probably going to be the same. So stop being sad about it and try to have some fun. I know you want me at the moment, but iv seen the way you two look at each other and I think its time for you and Wartortle to have some fun don't you? Just be safe coz I don't want any other baby pokemon running around for a while at least." He grinned at her before pulling two pokeballs from his belt. He released an Eager Wartortle from his Pokeball to land next to Pikachu as well as his growlithe.

Pikachu contemplated what Ash had said for a second and then decided fuck it. He would never stop loving her, and she wouldn't have him to herself forever. So she might as well have fun along the way. She looked over at Wartortle and gave him a sultry smile before diving on him.

Meanwhile, Ash was kneeling down explaining the situation to Growlithe. He doubted she would have a problem with sharing, and she certainly looked eager to get a piece of him. He had wanted to do this since he had caught her. He seemed to have a fetish for small animal like pokemon he thought to himself as he undressed. he momentarily wondered if that was a weird thing as he finished undressing. Then shrugged as he doubted that it was and started stroking his now hard dick while Growlithe eyed it eagerly. He let go of it as she jumped it. Her rough tongue feeling absolutely amazing as she started licking his cock all over. She couldn't get much of it inside her mouth so she just kept licking it as it seemed to be getting results. Ash was in bliss as she kept licking it and was soon on the verge of cumming. He looked down at her as she stopped licking and released it spraying her canine face with his cum. She looked so fucking hot with his white cum all over her face, and he was overcome with lust.

He picked her up and put her on the ground next to his bed. He knelt down behind her and watched as she raised her ass as high as she could into the air. He leaned forward and spread it as wide as it would go. Admiring her cute little pink pussy and asshole. She was a bit bigger than Pikachu, and as she offered her rear to him, inviting him in he couldn't help himself. He leaned forward and spat on her tiny asshole. His cock was already covered in her saliva and lubricated enough he though, besides she was tough and could handle it. And without another thought he slowly squeezed his cock into probably the tightest hole he had ever experienced. She moaned in such pleasure that he was instantly turned on. He started thrusting his cock in and out of her ass as fast as it would go.

It was amazingly tight and felt so good to him. Her walls kept contracting on his cock sending jolts of pleasure throughout his body. It felt so good that after only a minute or so he found that he could hold it no longer. He thrust his dick as far inside her ass as he could and shot his load inside it. After 30 seconds of cumming he sighed contentedly and pulled his dick back out. As he did strands of cum leaked out of gaping hole and trickled down her furry thigh. She kept her ass in the air and lay down on her side so as not to lose any more of it. He grinned at how kinky she was being as her ass closed back up around it and seal his load inside her. She lay there panting with a visible bulge in her stomach, cum all over her face and a small trickle dribbling down her smiled at her and lay down next to her hugging her to him. Man he loved bonding with his pokemon.

Next to the bed on the floor Pikachu and Wartortle were having just as much fun as Ash and growlithe had been. Wartortle had grown since it had evolved, and while its dick wasn't as big as Ash's, it was absolutely huge for a pokemon. Wartortle was lying on his back, with Pikachu riding on top of him as they made love passionately. He had been wanting this since the moment he had met Pikachu and was in heaven right now as she was returning his feelings. His cone shaped dick was lodged firmly in her pussy and he gripped her waist as she bounced on top of him. She was moaning and mewling as he thrust into her. He felt himself reaching his climax and leaned up to kiss her as he spurted his watery bluish cum inside of her. As a water type, he could produce much more cum than a human could, as it was watered down so to speak. So Pikachu continued to moan in pleasure as he filled her up to the brim. it finally stopped when his cum started leaking out around his dick and splashing against his soft underbelly. Pikachu and Wartortle fainted from sheer bliss, collapsing together and holding each other close and falling asleep in the same way as Ash and Growlithe.

The next morning, the trainer and 3 Pokemon woke up strewn around the room but cuddled together. All four were refreshed and ready to go after their night of fun. Ash returned everyone but Pikachu and got ready for the day, he would be leaving Pewter city and heading towards Cerulean today, and Brock would be accompanying him and Misty. So when he was completely ready he walked down to the cafeteria with a spring in his step excited for the next step in his journey.

He arrived to find Misty already eating and looking just as cheerful as Ash felt. "Morning Misty, sleep well?" He asked cheerfully. "Why yes I did Ash thanks for asking, I'd ask you if you slept well but I already know that you did" She replied with a wink. He blushed slightly and rubbed the back of his head as he recalled what Misty had said and done when she came into his room the night before as well as what he had done after she had left. He tried to cover his embarrassment by sitting down across from Misty and promptly stuffing his face with large amounts of cereal and pancakes. This just caused Misty to giggle as she watched his antics and she continued her meal.

They were just about to leave the cafeteria when Nurse Joy walked over to them from the front desk. "Good morning you two, since you're meeting Brock at the city gates at 9 I thought I would save you some time by bringing Eevee over here." She handed Ash Eevee's Pokeball as well as a sheet of paper. "That piece of paper has instructions on how to care for a baby pokemon, and some foods that help baby pokemon grow. You should also try to keep Eevee out of her Pokeball as much as possible, to get her used to the world and your other Pokemon. And I do have one other thing to give you before you leave. So once you finish breakfast can you please meet me at my desk so I can give it to you."

"Ok, nurse Joy thanks for the advice ill meet you at your desk in abut 10 minutes" Ash replied, and then went back to his food. The red haired nurse smiled at the then and headed back to her desk to wait for him to finish his meal.

And as promised, 10 minutes later as she waited patiently at her desk Ash and Misty walked over.

She pulled her final gift to Ash from under her desk. While she knew Ash was reluctant in his abilities to handle young pokemon, she believed he would be able to do it. She had given him lots of advice, but now she was giving him something that would help him turn into a proficient pokemon breeder before long. It was a Pokemon egg incubator, and a pokemon baby food making starter kit. The incubator would help speed up the hatching process of any pokemon egg that ash found on his journey. And the food making kit would help him feed the baby pokemon that hatched from an egg. With these two items in his possession Ash would easily become a great breeder in no time, and Joy could see the potential as a trainer in him. So she was happy to give him them in order to speed him along in the process of becoming a great trainer.

"The last gift I want to give you Ash is this. This Pokemon egg incubator and feeding kit will help you easily care for your baby pokemon and any new ones you catch in the future." She handed him her gifts with a bright smile on her face. "With these I'm sure you can become a brilliant pokemon trainer and breeder in no time." She then giggled at his surprise in receiving the unexpected gifts. "And before you do, don't thank me. I can tell that you're going to need them a lot more than I will, and they'll help you realise your potential as a trainer so its the least i can do. Take them and use them to make yourself a better trainer." She smiled warmly at him and shoved the gifts into his hands without another word. Then before he had the chance to thank her or say goodbye she was pushing him and Misty out of the door and closing it behind them.

The two just stared at each other for a few minutes dumbfounded at the nurses actions. That was one of the last things either of them had expected her to do. But nevertheless Ash was very grateful to the nurse for everything she had done to help him become a better trainer, and all of her generosity and gifts as she helped him. He tried opening the doors to say his thanks to joy properly, but found that they were locked. He banged on them a few times and tried unsuccessfully opening it again. He looked at misty and shrugged, unsure of how to say his thanks to nurse Joy. So he simply yelled it through the window. "Thanks for all of your help nurse Joy!" He yelled, and could see her reflection vaguely through the frosted glass window that he had just yelled through.

When there was no reaction from the nurse after a few moments he decided to give up. He was extremely grateful but she didn't seem to want his thanks. Besides it was now 8:30 and he needed to meet Brock at the city gates in half an giving up, he walked with Misty towards the city gates to find their newest travelling partner. They made it to the gates with 10 minutes to spare, but found an already waiting Brock leaning against the wall of one side of the gate. "Morning Ash, Misty. Good to see you again. I cant wait to leave with you on your journey. Where are we heading first?" Asked the older teen. "We were thinking of heading to the nearest gym in Cerulean city, Misty's home town. "Sounds good to me, you guys want to head out now? I have a town map that we can use to find the fastest route." "Nah thats alright Brock I already planned out a route during breakfast this morning. We're just going to follow route 3 through Mount Moon all the way to Cerulean, it seems like the most direct route, and Mount moon should have some cool pokemon for me to catch as well."

Brock nodded at his plan which seemed sensible enough. "Sounds good to me. Lead the way Ash." He nodded to the younger teen and they set off from Pewter heading through Route 3 towards Mount Moon and Cerulean. The journey would take around a week to complete and there wasn't really any rush, so the group set a fairly slow, but efficient pace as they walked. The journey through route 3 was fairly uneventful and took just over a day. Ash and Misty trained their pokemon along the way whenever given an opportunity to do so. Ash caught a few new additions to his rapidly expanding collection of Pokemon, namely a low levelled Sandslash as well as a feisty Mankey that evolved as he was battling it to catch it into a Primeape. He battled a few random trainers that crossed his path as well, but none of them really offered his Pokemon much of a challenge. His new Primeape made a very powerful fighting type addition to Ash's team, winning against most of the trainers Ash faced single handedly.. As Ash battled trainers and Misty trained, Brock looked after the Baby Eevee whenever they did so. Eevee would stay as close as she could to Ash at all times, often crying until he picked her up and carried her much to the amusement of Misty and Brock. She was still too young to start training, so Ash just played with her in his spare time.

After a day and a half of travelling through route 1, with Mount Moon growing larger on the horizon with each passing hour. And eventually at 2 in the afternoon a day after leaving Pewter city they arrived at the base of Mount Moon. The entrance to the cavernous network of passages and caves that were hidden in the bowels of Mount Moon, was a large gaping hole in the side of the mountainy at the end of Route 3. According to the map, It takes most trainers a whole day of travelling inside of the mountain to reach the other side and Route 4. They decided to just head inside straight away and spend a night in the caves rather than wait a whole day to start travelling the next day.

So as they journeyed through the winding system of caves, they all did much the same thing as they had been doing so far through route 3. Ash catching and battling pokemon as well as training with Misty, Brock Making food for the group, who had found out how good of a chef he truly was the previous evening when he made dinner, as well as caring for baby Eevee. Ash already had most of the wild pokemon he found inside the mountain. But he did find and catch a rare Cleffairy, which could only be found on Mount moon and was one of the Pokemon he had been most looking forward to catching, as they entered Mount Moon. With the addition of Cleffairy, Ash was fairly sure he had caught every single ty[e of pokemon he could possibly have caught so far on his journey and was proud of the fact. He decided that one of the best ways he could become a pokemon master was to catch every type of Pokemon possible, and he was doing well on this goal thus far.

The three companions and their pokemon spent a night camped in one of the larger caverns that they happened across while they journeyed through the mountain. And the following day after a quick breakfast they set off once more, making it all the way through the mountain by mid-day having spent just under 24 hours inside the mountain. All three were relieved to have finally made it out of the constant darkness. And for the rest of the day they enjoyed the warm rays of the sun as they strolled through route 4, still a few days away from Cerulean. There was no real rush, as the group continued on towards Cerulean. So they all mutually agreed to slow the pace down and enjoy the bright summer sun. Misty and Ash spent the day relaxing rather than training, and Ash spent most of the day carrying Eevee. She was warming to him, as well as Brock and Misty. And Ash learned that she enjoyed being scratched on her belly, and did so as much as possible. Brock was teaching Ash the finer points of preparing Pokemon food, and caring for baby pokemon. And using his Pokemon food kit from Nurse Joy, he was slowly but surely getting better at making food and looking after Eevee. And his efforts seemed to be paying off, She was growing already and Brock said that she would be ready to start training and battling in a week or two. Ash was excited at the prospect of having an Eevee, especially a female one, and planned to breed enough to collect a full set of the Eeveeloutions. She would make a great Pokemon once she gained some experience, but he was having a hard time deciding which Eeveeloutions he would evolve his Eevee into.

He had the evolutionary stones needed to evolve her into a Jolteon, Vapoureon or Flareon, or he could try for an Umbreon or Espeon. There were so many options that he was yet to make up his mind. He probably wouldn't use his thunderstone just yet however as he was saving it in case Pikachu wanted to evolve. But he decided to leave that decision for a later date as Eevee was still very young, and he wanted to just focus on training her to become stronger first.

And so three days after leaving Mount Moon, and a long relaxing walk in the sunny path of Route 4, the group finally arrived at cerulean City, a week after leaving Pewter. Brock was already becoming an integral part of the group as the acting cook, breeder and most mature member of the group. Ash and Misty were getting closer and closer as they trained together every day, with each trainers Pokemon working just as hard as their trainers to become stronger. Nothing had happened between them since Misty had kissed Ash in Pewter city and there was tension between the two as Misty wanted to talk about it, and Ash was putting it off until Cerulean so that he could focus on training before the gym battle, and wanted to do it in private, rather than in a tent in a forest. And so the group arrived at cerulean, Ash and Brock amazed by the beauty of the Coastal town. It was a bright and cheerful city, full of trees and greenery, and set along a harbour that made it one of the largest trading ports in Kanto, but also made it a famous tourist destination because of its beautiful beaches, large numbers of water type pokemon and its Pokemon gym that attracted lots of trainers. And Ash couldn't wait for his shot at challenging the gym.
