Okay, disclaimer time! I do not own any characters from Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh or Beyblade. I am merely abducting them for a while, and placing them in my alternate universe. With that said, kindly enjoy!
Pokemon: The New Journeys
The following is intended to be read as a synopsis of the “episode”, akin to the guides found elsewhere on this fine website. This is just to avoid any confusion as to why I’m writing it like this.
English Title - 1: Squirtle, I Choose You!
Japanese Title - 1: Andrew! Start the Journey!
The stage is set for the final of the Indigo League pokemon competition. The two competing trainers are identified as Kai and Daichi, both of whom are down to their final two pokemon. Daichi has released Gengar, whilst Kai has chosen Nidorino. However, as the announcer points out, Kai’s Nidorino is a rare blue colour, instead of the normal pink.
Kai begins by calling for a Megahorn, and Daichi responds by ordering Gengar to attack with Shadow Ball. Nidorino dodges the attack, and hits Gengar dead on with its Megahorn, dealing a fair amount of damage. Daichi freaks whilst Kai remains calm, ordering Nidorino to follow up with a Shock Wave attack. The attack hits Gengar hard, and it recoils in pain. Daichi won’t give up yet, though, and orders Gengar to attack with Psychic. Nidorino is sent flying, and smashes into the stadium wall.
By now, both pokemon look exhausted, and Daichi orders Gengar to use Shadow Punch, whilst Kai demands another Megahorn. Nidorino smashes into Gengar just as the Shadow Ball is released, creating a massive explosion which blasts both pokemon. As Kai and Daichi look on, the smoke clears to reveal both pokemon are knocked out. Despite being reduced to one pokemon, Kai still seems confident, grasping a Pokeball bearing a flame symbol on the red half of the ball.
Daichi announces that he is now going to win, and releases his Flygon, which he refers to as Strata Dragoon. Laughing, Kai replies that he admires Daichi’s confidence, but that nothing can defeat his most powerful pokemon - Dranzer.
Kai releases Dranzer, which turns out to be a Moltres. The announcer excitedly explains that Dranzer has been with Kai for several years, following his discovery of the legendary pokemon’s egg. Daichi seems worried, and the referee orders the two trainers to begin the final battle.
Once again, Kai takes the initiative, ordering Dranzer to use Flamethrower, which blasts Strata and weakens the rare dragon-type. Daichi instantly retaliates with Dragon Claw, which scores a direct hit, but Dranzer barely seems to feel it. Strata follows up with Rock Slide, which sends a massive stream of boulders soaring up at Dranzer. Reacting quickly, Kai orders a Fire Spin, leading into Sky Attack. The announcer instantly recognises the combo attack Dranzer is preparing, its dreaded Phoenix Cyclone attack, an attack which no pokemon has yet survived.
Using Fire Spin, Dranzer erects a sphere of fire around itself, deflecting Strata’s Rock Slide, before swooping down at its opponent. Daichi orders Strata to use Dragon Claw, but Dranzer is too fast, and smashes its foe into the ground, blowing up a huge cloud of dust. As the two trainers look on, Dranzer soars into the sky triumphantly, Strata Dragoon lying fainted beneath it. The referee counts Strata out, and Kai is declared the winner.
At the presentation ceremony, Mr Goodshow gives Kai the Indigo League trophy, and congratulates him on his victory. Kai confirms that he shall return the following year to defend his title, and the President warns him that a new trainer is beginning their pokemon journey in a few days - Professor Oak’s younger grandchild, and Gary Oak’s sibling. Kai is shaken, but remains confident that with Dranzer at his side, no-one will beat him to the title…
A few days later, Professor Oak is presenting four new trainers with their first pokemon. The four trainers - Andrew, Thomas, Alana and Jonathan - are warned that, because Oak only has three starter pokemon, one shall have to wait until he can catch new pokemon. Andrew declares that he knows exactly which pokemon he wants, and reaches out to take the Squirtle’s Pokeball, but Alana gets there first and grabs the ball. Whilst the two bicker, Jonathan decides to take the Bulbasaur, and Thomas grabs the Charmander, much to Andrew’s horror.
Oak apologises and suggests that Andrew should return in a day or so to receive his own pokemon. Dejected, Andrew leaves whilst Oak gives the others their Pokeballs and Pokedexes.
However, once outside, Andrew hears a pokemon crying out and goes over to a nearby house to investigate. Near the house, a Squirtle has become trapped in a Rattata trap, and its leg has been injured. Freeing the wounded pokemon, Andrew races to Oak’s lab, where the Professor is still with the new trainers.
Seeing the wounded pokemon, Oak has Andrew bring Squirtle to his examination room, where he checks Squirtle’s injured leg. Finally, he announces that Squirtle should be fine after a few days of rest, to the assembled trainers’ relief. All but Thomas instantly volunteer to help Squirtle recover and Oak agrees to place the small turtle in their care. Thomas, however, leaves, saying that such things are a waste of his time.
The three remaining children, along with Bulbasaur and Alana’s Squirtle, spend nearly a week caring for the Squirtle, which is kept in bed with its leg bandaged up. During this time, Andrew asks the weakened pokemon if it would consider joining him and travelling together. Squirtle doesn’t answer, but nods slightly in thought.
Finally, Oak removes the bandages, and Squirtle is able to walk again. Oak and Squirtle thank the children for their help, and Andrew repeats his request to Squirtle. However, Squirtle feels that it should return to its family, who live nearby in the river. Although saddened, Andrew respects his new friend’s decision, and releases it, watching as it returns to the river.
Returning home, Squirtle is reunited with its family, including two Wartortle, which are obviously its parents. In the midst of the celebrations, Squirtle cannot help looking back at the laboratory where its friends are.
Andrew offers to remain at the laboratory and assist Oak until a new starter pokemon can be found for him. Oak accepts the offer, but then a huge explosion blasts a hole in the laboratory wall, sending everyone flying.
By the river, Squirtle sees the explosion and begins to run to the lab, before turning back to its family. The Wartortles simply nod, allowing their child to follow its heart. Nodding back, Squirtle runs to the lab.
In the laboratory, the smoke clears to reveal two sinister looking figures - Cassidy and Butch of Team Rocket! They say their motto, and announce that all of the pokemon in the lab are now the property of Team Rocket. Bravely, Alana and Jonathan step up to defend the pokemon, and release Bulbasaur and Squirtle to battle Cassidy and Butch.
In response, Cassidy sends out Raticate and Vulpix to battle, and Butch chooses Weepinbell. Oak chooses to get involved, too, and sends out the lab’s “protectors” - Kingler and Muk.
Cassidy and Butch decide to team up against the children first, with Weepinbell using Razor Leaf on Alana’s Squirtle, and Vulpix Flamethrowering Bulbasaur. Both pokemon are hurt by the attacks, and Raticate leaps forwards to finish them off.
Kingler and Muk get in the way to defend the tired starters, and take Team Rocket’s attacks head on. Kingler responds with a Bubblebeam on Vulpix, whilst Muk uses Sludge Bomb on Weepinbell. Realising that they cannot win fairly, Team Rocket order their pokemon to use their attacks on the shelves behind Kingler and Muk. The shelves collapse, burying the two pokemon and taking them out of the battle.
Alana and her Squirtle refuse to give up, though, and prepare to battle again. Cassidy orders Raticate to finish the girl and her pokemon off with a Hyper Fang attack. However, as Raticate attacks, Andrew leaps in the path of the attack, shielding Alana and Squirtle.
A water gun blasts Raticate as it attacks, blasting it into the wall. All eyes turn to see Squirtle enter the lab, fire burning in its eyes. Running to Andrew’s side, Squirtle confirms that it wants to help, and the pair challenge Team Rocket.
Cassidy demands a Flamethrower from Vulpix, and Butch orders Razor Leaf from Weepinbell. Dodging both attacks, Squirtle runs towards its opponents, and at Andrew’s command uses Bubble on Vulpix, sending it flying.
Next, Weepinbell uses Vine Whip. However, Squirtle catches the vine, and uses it to pull its opponent in close, delivering a powerful Tackle attack. As Raticate rejoins the battle, Squirtle blasts it with another Water Gun, smashing it into Team Rocket.
Pulling the shelves off of them, Kingler and Muk rejoin the fight, too, and surround Team Rocket. With a combination of Sludge Bomb, Bubblebeam and Water Gun, the three pokemon send Team Rocket blasting off once more.
Whilst Oak thanks everyone for their assistance in defending the lab, Squirtle and Andrew agree to travel together in Kanto. Oak presents Andrew with six Pokeballs and a Pokedex, wishing him luck on his impending journey. Grasping a Pokeball, Andrew welcomes Squirtle to the team, as the turtle pokemon leaps into the ball.
As Oak watches, the three trainers make their way to the edge of town, before choosing different paths to travel on. As the episode ends, the narrator announces that the journey is only beginning for Andrew and Squirtle, with new pokemon, trainers and rivals to face…
Spoilers: Now that the first episode is over, here’s a sneak peek at the next episode - what can you work out from the English and Japanese titles?
English - 2: Kai in the Sky
Japanese - 2: Kai! Champion Match!
Next episode should hopefully be up soon!
