Rise From The Ashes (A Pokemon Rewrite)

Venom Of The Ninja

When we last left our heroes, Ash had entered Cobalt in the local P1 Grand Prix fighting tournament, where he not only first experienced Mega Evolution, but had gained the title of P1 champion. Now, the group traverses through the woods of the local Fuschia City, where they hope tofind the gym leader in the woods to have Ash earn his 6th badge.

Though it would go a bit faster if Yami would stop randomly beatboxing as Cobalt made up weird rhymes to go with it...

Cobalt: My name is Cobalt! It rhymes with bank vault! It also rhymes with... rock salt! It also rhymes with... Uh.... shmobalt!

Yami: Dude, we should be writing this down.

Ash: We've been walking for over an hour, where is this famous "Fuschia Gym", anyway?

Misty: Better question, who builds a gym in the middle of nowhere?

Brock: We shouldn't be too far now. The gym has to be around here somewhere.

Though as they kept walking, they were unaware of the pair of compound eyes watching them. After walking a bit more and eliciting a nervous Green to cross over a small ravine over a log.... They still had no idea where to go.

Ash: I think we're lost.

Green: You made me cross that stupid log for nothing?!

Ash: It wasn;t for nothing, Green. We have to stay together, after all. Besides, it wouldn't hurt you to bathe every once in a while

Green: I could've fallen and drowned to my death and you're making jokes?!

As the pair started to bicker, Cobalt looked over, spotting what seemed to be a giant building not too far from where they were.

Cobalt: *points* Hey, look over there! I see something!

Azula: Is that.... A mansion?

Ash: *to Misty and Brock* Guys, Cobalt says he found something.

Based on the Lucario's directions, they arrived at a large mansion, its look reminiscent of feudal Japanese architecture.

Misty: That's weird. It's a huge mansion in the middle of the forest.

Brock: I didn;t even know old houses like this still existed.

Ash: Well, at least we can go in and ask for directions to the gym.

They enter the house, still unaware of the presence watching them from afar. As Ash opens the door, he sees the house is mostly dark with a but of dust on the furniture.

Ash: Hello?! Anyone home?!

Misty: Hello?!

Brock: The place seems abandoned.

Confused, Green leaned against a wall, causing the wall to suddenly move and causing him to yell out as he fell into a room, much to the shock of the group.

Yami: A secret room!

Green: The hell is this doing here?

Yami: Prop door. It's a revolving entryway that leads to a different room. Alfredo used them in his disappearing acts.

Misty: What kind of place is this?

Brock: I'm not sure, but this isn't your standard mansion.

As Brock went over to help Green up, they became distracted by what seemed to be a giant purple fuzzball with big red insect eyes.

Ash: *takes out Pokedex* What's that?

Pokedex: Venonat, the Insect Pokemon. A Bug and Poison type. Venonat is said to have evolved with a coat of thin, stiff hair that covers its entire body for protection. It possesses large eyes that never fail to spot even minuscule prey.
