Pokemon: Iona Adventures! [FanFic]

[Alix Taylor]

Chapter 1

Ash and his friends were abord the S.S. Jane, the ship that was tranporting them to Iona, the new land where they intended to travel. From the ship's deck, they could see the land formation appearing in the glistening horizon. An island surrounded by sparkling blue ocean waters as the sun's rays glittered along the watery surface. Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Pikachu all eagerly awaited their arrival. The day was new, their wake simply growing. All three were ready to make their own individual footprints on the remote island. Dawn as a coordinator, Ash as a Trainer, and Brock with the females that populated the land.

"Wow! Look at the ocean! It's so pretty!" Dawn said, swishing her lovely blue hair back and forth. "I think our pokemon should see this!" she said cheerfully, tossing numerous red and white orbs. "Come on out Piplup, Buneary, Pachurisu, Cyndaquil!" Each pokeball collided with the ground at separate times, on after the other in the same order that Dawn named off.

"Piplup!" her starter pokemon chirped proudly, spinning round and round on a yellow foot. Her other pokemon followed suit, also relaying off their names.

"Buneary!"

"Chupaa!"

"Cyndaquiiiil!"

Dawn grinned, before holding the last pokeball. The one which she had not opened. "I'm sorry Mamoswine... but if you'd come out, you might sink the boat..." she said. "You can come out later,"she added, placing the ball with the other empty ones.

"Alright, my turn!" Ash said, expanding the numerous pokeballs that were clipped to his belt. "Staraptor! Monferno! Grotle! Buizel! Gliscor!" Each of his pokemon appearing, the red light from the pokemon dispersing, showing their each and individual forms. They too, read off their individual names, which mushed into a mixed up sentence that was almost impossible to pick apart.

"Hm.. I think my pokemon could use the fresh air. Go Sudowoodo! Croagunk! Happiny!" Brock commanded with his older authority, calling out his three companions. Our of pure joy, his three seeming made excited gestures, swinging around happily.

Now that all three trainers' pokemon mixed, they seemed to form little groups. Buizel and Piplup both plunged into the ocean blue, enjoying the clear, warm waters as they swam along side the boat. Gliscor and Staraptor rose to the air, coasting along the warm drafts of air. The other pokemon remained confined to the boat, but they didn't appear upset by the fact.

"Pika-pi!" Pikachu called, out, pointing over the railing in happiness.

"Hm? What's up Pikachu?" he asked, looking over at his pal. His pokemon was waggling a small finger at the shore, which seemed to have leapt forward towards them. They were closer than they previously had thought. Now, visable details now appeared. The trees, shores, and everything else seemed to come into focus.

"Wow, just look at the island! It's larger than I thought..." Brock stated, his Happiny in his tanned arms.

"Perfect! I hope there are lots of Gym and Trainers there!" he said, one hand clenched outward, the other gripping the rail. "Pi pikachu!"] his companion replied, and his other pokemon followed suit.

]"Hm. You shouldn't bother. You'll only loose to me in the end anyways," a voice sounded from behind. Ash turned, facing his current rival. Paul. Ash's brow furrowed, as he gripped his hands into fists at his sides.

"Don't get so confident Paul. Just because you defeated me before doesn't mean you'll defeat me now," he shot. He was still disappointed in himself for loosing the six-on-six battle against Paul. He was determined to regain his footing against Paul in their next battle.

"Don't count on it," he said, turning his back and making his way across the deck. "Just leave the strong trainers to me."

"Ugh, he makes me so mad at times...." Ash grumbled as the violet-haired male was out of earshot.

"Don't be upset Ash. Look, we're almost there!" she said, as the boat was less that 100 meters from the docks. This seemed to brighten the male's mood, as he quickly leaned against the rails, obtaining a clear view.

"Alright! Let's get to shore. Ok guys, return!" he said, returning all his pokemon but Pikachu. Dawn and Brock did the same, except Dawn left Piplup from his pokeball. The three then quickly rushed off the ship, ready to explore the new region.

Setting two firm feet on the ground, Ash threw his arms out wide, as if to hug the gentle wind that tugged at the loose areas on his clothes. "Alright! Let's get going!" he said, onyx eyes sparkling with excitement. His pose had now changed, as he held his hands in fron of him, balled into determined fists. Pikachu agreed, adding in a 'Pikapi!' to support his trainer.

"Wait a minute Ash. Let's just sit back and take in the scenery. This place is beautiful..." stated Dawn. She closed her eyes, allowing her other senses to take in the surrounding area. The sweet, fresh scent from the frutatious land mingled with the salty tang from the nearby ocean, resulting in a completely new scent that the female had never smelled before. Waves crashed uniformly against the smooth shore, while the happy cries of native pokemon sounded from a distance. The breeze added to the effect, carrying new scents, marvelling the blue-haired girl. The breeze did not only bear sweet unknown scents, but it also played with her many stands of blue hair. At the same time, she was forced to use her hands to hold her riduculously short skirt in place. "I mean, this place is so pure. I've never seen anything like it..." she said, reopening her saphire blue eyes.

"True. In all my travels, I have never seen a land as gorgeous as this..." Brock agreed, gazing around. Dawn smiled, pleased that she was finally on the same page as Brock. "Just imagine what all the women are like!" he yelled, anime tears flowing down his pleased face in a comical style. Ash sweatdropped, while Dawn sighed. 'Guess I was wrong...' she thought to herself.

Before the awkward silence settled, an older man hollered at the group. "Heeeey! Wait a minute!" The three stopped, looking back to see a white haired man hobble over. "Sorry, but I thought I should give you this!" he said, handing a map into the most responsivble looking member's hands (AKA Brock). "I just thought I should warn you before you head out. Many, many pokemon populate Iona. In fact, you may bump into some that will attack you is offended, but it seems you have your own pokemon to defend yourselves with..." he said, gesturing to Piplup and Pikachu. "As well, you should avoid certain areas. I circled them in red on your map."

"Does Iona have many cities?" Brock asked, just beginning to open the tightly packed map.

The old man blinked, before letting out a loud, hardy laugh. "Hahaha, you foreign travelers are so funny! Iona is very large. It is dotted with many towns. You'll see them all on the map. Most towns have Gyms as well. That information is written on the backside of the map. Now take care not to loose that! You'll be in trouble if you do!" he added, laughing as his beard bobbed up and down as he spoke.

"Alright, thank you," Brock said, nodding in the mans direction.

With that, the older man turned, heading back to the docks. "Good luck, and avoid Trace Tower!" he said, before disappearing into a building that sat alone.

"Man, that guy was weird...." Ash said, hands behind his head as he slowly edged toward the trail, eager to explore.

"Maybe, but he did give us a map and provide us with some good pointers. Now, shall we?" Brock said, knowing the answer to the question already.

"Yes! Let's go!" Ash cired aloud, charging off into the direction that looked best to him. Pikachu clung to his shoulder, cheering in support.

"Ash wait! Wrong way!" Dawn called out, but the boy was set and almost out of earshot. "Oh boy..." she said, before starting to run after him, her Piplup bouncing at her side.

"Hey wait! We'll get lost!" Brock called after the two, annoyed that he had allowed them to go. With no time to pull out the map that he received, he grumbled and tore after the two in attempts to catch up. Hopefully wen he did, he'd be able to get them back onto the beaten trail.

__________________________________

"Ash, it's your fault we're lost in the first place. Now let's see if we can get back..." Brock started, turning the map this way and that. Ash was pouting at the side, arms and legs crossed, as Pikachu hovered on his side.

"Pika..."

"Well... it's almost noon already. How about we eat something Brock?" Dawn suggested, trying to cheer the two up. Ash was off to the side alone, while Brock seemed to get more and more frustrated with his map.

"Fine. It's just that that old man scribbled so many things on this map that I can't even read it anymore!" Brock said, tossing the folded map down while collecting some ingredients from his bag. Dawn began to set up the table, but not without the help of Piplup, who laid out the dishes.

Ash remained off to the side, watching the forest in hopes to see a pokemon moving around. When he failed to see anything, he sighed. Pikachu seemed equally bored, before its ears perked straight upwards as it peered into the shadowy forest. "Hm? What's wrong Pikachu?"

"Pika...." he said, before taking off into the shrouded, bushy area.

"Oy! Pikachu, wait!" Ash called, standing immediately and in hot pursuit of the electric mouse.

"Ash! Where are you going?!" Dawn yalled, before placed her hands on her hips, an unhappy look on her face.

"I'll be right back!" he called over his shoulder, not giving the blue-haired girl much attention, which annoyed her.

"He's just going to get lost again. At least he has Staraptor with him."

Ash tore after Pikachu, having a few issues. Seeing as Pikachu was small and lithe, it had no trouble avoiding branches and thickets of bramble. Ash on the other hand, was like a bull in a China shop. Getting caught of practically anything that dangled out near him, like roots, stray branches, ect. He was losing distance on Pikachu, when he finally began to see the sunlight. Another field perhaps? And that's when he heard it.

Music. Sweet sounding music. Gentle notes wafted around the area, rich with tone and vibrato. Ash slowed, gently peaking out of the tree cover. Pikachu had stopped and was gently swaying back and forth, apparently soothed by the music. Ash peered into the middle of the small clearing. And old, dead tree stump stood, dark in color from being decreased. On it sat a girl with brown hair, covered with a black cap. She was dressed quite unusual for a girl. Long, baggy jeans with a brown undershirt and a black overshirt that had an opening in the front. Her attire reminded him of his original outfit that he traveled in when he started. But the most visable feature was the small instrument in her hands.

Around her had gathered many pokemon. Ash could name quite a few. An oddish, a ludicolo, a tangela, a few caterpi, a chatot, a stantler and a phanpy. A Chimchar sat on her shoulder, also enticed by the sweet music. Ash grinned, stepping forward.

At the sound of a foreign step, many of the at-peace pokemon shot up. The girl too, stopped playing. With this, most of the pokemon took off running or walking into the forested area. Two remained by the girl. The Phanpy and the Chimchar. Ash blinked, realizing that he had just scared off most of her pokemon. The girl however did not look mad. She simply put the instrument away, before reaching down and petting the Phanpy. "Arigato..." she said with a smile. The blue pokemon showed its affection by wrapping its trunk around her arm.

"Phan..." it said quietly, before turning and heading towards the underbrush. Before it got there, it turned, waving its small trunk at the female as a good bye. But as it turned, it was hit with a pokeball, sucking the young pokemon into the orb. And it was not the girl who had attmepted to catch the elephant pokemon.

The girl immediately stood, dashing over. Paul emmerged from behind a tree, walking over to the pokeball and picking it up. The girl seemed furious. "Hey!" she said angrily, glaring at the violet-haired boy. "That Phanpy was not yours to catch!" she said, jutting a finger at him.

"You didn't make any attempts. I don't see a reason why I shouldn't catch it," he replied curtly, taking out his pokedex and scanning the red and white orb. But the girl didn't seem to let it go.

"Release it!" she said, glaring and standing rigid. Paul however, completely ignored her. Looking at his pokedex, he was surprised to see that this Phanpy was indeed strong. In fact, stronger than most. It knew many good moves, which inclined Paul to shrink the ball and put it in his pocket.

"Oy Paul!" Ash yelled, running over beside the girl. "Can't you see that this Phanpy was hers?"

"No. If I could catch it, then it was not hers," he said, closing his eyes and turning.

The girl narrowed her eyes. "Battle me." she growled, causing Paul and Ash to look at her in shock. "Winner earns the Phanpy."

Paul smirked confidently, before agreeing. "Fine. A two on two battle it is." The girl grimaced, but nodded. Ash stood, watching both trainers take their places and prepare for battle.
