Episode 1: The Train

Prologue

It had been three months since I had left Ceylon and most importantly, my best friend Razar (Pikachu) behind. During the months that followed my departure from Ceylon, I had met up with my Mother's Sister and her son, Ash Ketchum in their home of Pallet Town. Ash, a renown Pokemon Trainer, had given me a Pachirisu. I nicknamed it like I had done the rest of my Pokemon. Pach and I have trained since that day capturing new friends and training our soles to the core to become stronger and more agile in battle. I even taught Pach how to use Thunder and Thunderbolt, Razar's favorite techniques. Mom and Dad had given us tickets to go to TS High. The biggest Pokemon Acadamey around. We finally made it to the day the train was supposed to leave. And we find ourselves on long road to a new journey.


The sun had just set behind the train station. Darkness was setttling in. Tai boarded the train with his little blue and white electric squirrel on his shoulder.

"Well, Pach. The Journey begins," Tai said, as he walked the isle of the last car trying to find a seat. He tossed his backpack into an empty seat and sat down.

I can't wait to showcase our skills at the largest Pokemon Academy..Professor Oak in Pallet Town made this place out to be world famous for making Gym leaders. Pach said as he jumped to Tai's lap.

"I know. Maybe we'll graduate top of the class and become a Gym leader ourselves, someday." Tai said.

The train was relatively quiet for the most part, seeing as it hadn't left the station yet. People were still boarding the large train, yet soon enough there was lots of people coming in, and looking for seats.

"Boy, Sure is a lot of people going to this school!" Tai said, thinking about the new friends and rivals to be made.

I know. One of them is sure to our biggest rival. I'm ready and willing to prove to Razar that I'm going to protect you! Do you think any of our matches will be displayed over in Ceylon? and if they are, do you think Akarimaru and Razar will watch? Pach asked.

"Chill out, Pach. I'm not sure that's how T.S. High works...This is a school...We'll learn things here just like at normal school. So, let's get ready for the ride...shall we?" Tai asked, he opened his backpack and pulled a small Lightning bolt shaped pillow out and laid it in the seat next to him.

Pach jumped to the pillow and walked around in a circle a few times before curling up with it's tail and sleeping.

Good Night, Tai. Pach
murmured.

"Good Night, pal." Tai said.

The train was noisy at first as kids piled in, and around you slowly the boxes began to fill up. Some people were still looking for seats, so if you didnt want anyone in yours you had better make it look full.

While Pach dozed a little while, Tai piled his backpack into the remaining seat and stretched out in the seat directly across from him.

"To be the greatest...that's our goal!" Tai said before closing his eyes.

Soon enough the loud, annoying train seemed almost soothing as it picked up speed. Thanks to your packing, people thought your compartment was full.

"Well. TS High here we come. Pach, Jade, Rosa, Blaze, and myself are ready for any challenges you throw at us. With the spirit of the rest of my team guiding us, we will defeat all challenges!" said Tai.

He looked over to his squirrel-like pokemon. The unusual thing about Pach was it's stripe. Most Pachirisu have blue stripes on their white fur....but Pach didn't...It's Blue stripe was a limegreen green. Pach had proven to be a powerhouse when it faced off against two of Tai's enemies back home in Konoha. Chase and Tyler with their Machop and Hitmontop team were considered bullies and tried to take all the kids Pokemon after they recieved their starters until Tai and Pach had shown up fresh from a vacation in Pallet Town.

Flashback To Konoha Village
Tai and Pach arrived in time to see two kids, about Tai's age, with a Machop and Hitmontop. They were battling two younger kids, with starters fresh from the Pokemon School. One was Chase Evens, the local rich kid, and the other was Tyler Dion, Chase's Running Mate. Tai couldn't stand the abuse of their training power over the little school kids.

"Stop were you are. Pach and I will take you on....If we win, you'll leave The School Alone...If we lose, we'll leave Konoha for good." Tai had bargained with the bullies.

"That'd be rich. Ceylon's Final Hope losing to some old friends and forced to leave his home....but the word is, you've left your Pikachu for a Squirrel!" Chase said.

"Pach may be small...but he's more than enough to take on Machop!" said Tai.

Pach leaped forward and landed between Tai and Chase as Machop raced towards it.

"Pach! Use Quick Attack to evade, then strike it with Spark!" shouted Tai.

Pach quickly dodged the Karate Chop attempt by Machop. Then released a static filled orb at the Fighting Type, blasting it into a tree.

"Pach! We need some practice using Razar's Favorite Move. Do it now! THUNDERBOLT!" shouted Tai.

Pach squeezed it's cheeks to release the Thunderbolt but only a small spark appearedFlash Back to Present

At least we managed to completly learn the move Tai thought.

While you had been remembering the past, you felt something roll by your feet!

"What was that?" Tai asked looking down at the floor for a round object.

Not wanting to disturb Pach, Tai groped for a Pokeball on the back right side of Sleeveless Hoodie. He felt around and removed one.

"Let's see. Second Pokeball to the right, I hope this is my second smallest Pokemon....Jade! Come on out!" said Tai tossing the Pokeball....A small puppy appeared in a flash of white light. The black fur seemed to be covered with bones.

You call? Jade asked sarcastically.

"Pach is sleeping and I need you to help me find a small round object on the floor....Please," Tai asked.

The black pokemon nodded at you and searched aroudn on the floor. In a minute, he came back up with a pokeball! Maybe there was a poekmon in it?

"Thanks Jade. You did great. Return!" said Tai removing the pokeball from Jade's Mouth before returning him to his Pokeball.

"Some poor trainer lost their Poke'ball. I have too options. Keep it until I reach the school or try to find it's owner....Hmmm! I'll try to find the Trainer....but this is going to require some more help!" said Tai. He removed two pokeballs from his Hoodie Slots.

"Blaze, Rosa! Come on out!" shouted Tai.

A huge fire-type pokemon and a small grass type pokemon appeared.

Sir! Blaze, the Blaziken said before bowing down before Tai.

TAI! Rosa said jumping onto Tai's shoulder.

"Blaze. I've told you, you don't have to do that everytime I release you....I'm going to need both of your help. Pach is sleeping and I need Blaze to protect the compartment, while Rosa and I try to find the owner of this Pokeball!" said Tai.

Blaze slowly rose from it's bowed position and saluted Tai.

Consider it done! Blaze said as Tai opened the door with Rosa on his shoulder.

You suddenly saw a flash of red light, and there was a small Charmander infront of you!

"A Charmander? Wow, I've never seen one of these in real-life before....only on T.V. And I've rode on a Charizard.....WOW!!!! So, lil guy, who's your trainer?" Tai asked, stooping down to get a better look at Charmander.
