Pokémon Indigo League (Alternate from canon)

The Path to the Pokemon League

"Well. I'm impressed kid. You really trained your pokemon very well."
A.J. and Ash shake hands and Professor Oak and a bearded elderly man came out of the tent.
"Well done Ash. I saw the battles and I have to say, I'm proud." The professor said. Ash, Gary ,Misty and Brock were shocked that THE Professor Oak was right there, not to mention THE Charles Goodshow. The man in charge of the Pokemon League.

"Gramps? What're you and Mr Goodshow doing here?" Gary said.
"Well when I got Ash's call that he was coming on this route, me and Mr Goodshow decided to visit here to see the battles. And I must say, I'm disappointed in you Gary. You underestimated everyone here and overestimated yourself and your pokemon." The professor said.
"And I had a bet with Charles here for five million dollars that Ash would win. Looks like I win old friend."
Charles looked disappointed at losing the bet, but was content with Ash winning in general.

"When old Oak told me about you Ash, I was skeptical, but now that I've seen your skills first hand, you definitely earned the prize of having all pokemon with you. And this as well." Oak brings in an Alakazam that's holding a pokemon egg and the Alakazam hands the egg to Ash.
<I know you'll take great care of my child Ash.> The Alakazam said in it's native tongue.

Ash was shocked. "This is your child Alakazam? Are you sure?" Alakazam nods with a smile.
"Thank you all." Ash thanked with a kind smile, cradling the egg gently, and it hatches into a shiny Abra.

Ash decided to do some training and Igglybuff evolved.
Ash scans Abra, Jigglypuff, and Clefairy.

[Clefairy, the Fairy Pokemon and the evolved form of Cleffa.The moonlight that it stores in the wings on its back apparently gives it the ability to float in midair. This Clefairy is level 45 and knows the moves Meteor Mash, Moonblast, Meteronome, Copycat, Sweet Kiss, Disarming Voice, Moonlight, Magical Leaf, Draining Kiss, Brick Break, Cosmic Power, Psychic, and Wish*Egg Move*]

[Jigglypuff, the Balloon Pokemon and the evolved form of Igglybuff. Jigglypuff's vocal chords can freely adjust the wavelength of its voice. This Pokémon uses this ability to sing at precisely the right wavelength to make its foes most drowsy. This Jigglypuff is level 45 and knows Disarming Voice, Play Rough, Stockpile, Spit Up, Swallow, Round, Gyro Ball, Body Slam, Dazzling Gleam, Double Slap, Double-Edge, Copycat, Echoed Voice, Charm, Sing, Sweet Kiss, Pound, Defense Curl, Bounce, Heal Bell, Hyper Voice, Wish*Egg Move*, Perish Song*Egg Move*, Heal Pulse*Egg Move*, and Present*Egg Move*]

[Abra, the Psi Pokemon.It hypnotizes itself so that it can teleport away when it senses danger, even if it is asleep. This Abra is level 1 and knows Teleport, Ice Punch*Egg Move*, Fire Punch*Egg Move, Thunder Punch*Egg Move*, and Barrier*Egg Move*]

Gary was throwing a tantrum.
"It's not fair! I'm the better one! I'm not autistic! So why could he win and get an Abra?!", Ash covers his ears, he wasn't used to Gary's temper tantrums since he did his best to stay away from him.

"Come on, no one likes a crybaby." A.J. said, clearly annoyed.
A.J. turns to Ash and asks "Wanna come inside and see our training regimen?" Ash nods and goes in.
Ash sees the training is intense, A.J. immediately gets Sandshrew do do dives in the pool.

"That's why Wartortle's water attacks didn't do much! You came prepared. " Ash deduced, the others were also stunned by A.J.'s training methods.
"Bingo. You're looking at the only Sandshrew that can withstand water. Well, in certain situations. Raining ontop of a powerful water move seems to be too much for Sandshrew. Then again, Surf is incredibly powerful." A.J. explains,

Ash reveals his training is very similar. But he doesn't use a whip. "The whip is kinda overboard." Ash said, A.J. nods and says "It's to make sure they're focused. But I can see why you think that."
Ash shows him a pistol they use to start races and says "I usually use rubber bullets with the same noise for that affect. Less scarring."
A.J. nods and says "I'll try that method sometime. But really, a level 45 Clefairy? Your training is really paying off big time."

Ash nods and says "Pikachu is level 52, and Eevee is level 41. I make sure all of my pokemon are at high levels before battles and have them learn a lot of different moves. It might prove useful." Ash explains. A.J nods and agrees with Ash.

"Sandshrew is at level 29, Butterfree and Beedrill are level 21. We need a lot more work done. Do you use rare or exp candies in your training?"
Ash nods and explains "Mainly as a training reward or something to give them a boost in their food occasionally. Good thing they're legal as that way."

A.J nods and says "It's a bit hard for me to find rare and exp candies."
Ash nods and says "I sometimes make my own. Being a junior professor has it's benefits. Having access to how they're made and a license to make them is always handy."
There are some illegal rare and exp candies, but Ash always sticks with the legal ones. While gaining less levels than the illegal ones, they're much safer.

Ash and A.J are discussing more things about pokemon training, then people see A.J's Sandshrew has disappeared. Gary says it ran away due to the harsh training, but no one believes him. He even tries to convince A.J.'s other pokemon to come with him. But that fails.
The pokemon just ignore Gary's offer and walk off.

"A.J. I'll help you find your Sandshrew." Ash said.
A.J. smiled and nods. Ash heads outside and let's out his Pidgeotto and commands the shiny bird to find the Sandshrew.

Ash gets all of his pokemon transferred to him thanks to his pokedex and his special privilege. Charles gave Ash a special container to keep all of his pokeballs. He gets put his Spearow , Sandshrew and Rattata and tells them to help with the
search of A.J.'s Sandshrew.

After a few minutes, Ash's Sandshrew comes with A.J.'s Sandshrew and get to the tent. A.J. and his other pokemon went to Sandshrew and gives him a group hug.
"I don't get it. Why are they still loyal?" Gary asked and Ash says
"Even if he pushes them a lot, they know that A.J. cares about them."
This made Gary mad and he attacks Ash.

Pikachu Volt Tackles Gary away with a growl. Bad luck that Charles and Oak saw this.
"That's it! Your trainer license is hearby suspended for five weeks!" Charles barks. Gary was shocked.
"Gramps, you can't let him do that!"
Oak glares at Gary. "I'm incredibly disappointed in you Gary. I thought you knew better than that. I thought you changed and now you went too far! Be grateful it's only a suspension. Alakazam, take him back to Pallet." Oak said, Alakazam nods and obeys with Teleport.

It didn't take long for the intelligent pokemon to get back.
Ash looks at his own Sandshrew and whispers to her "What happened?"
<Team Rocket snatched him, but we got him quickly. That team was after Pikachu. I don't know how they could mix the two up. > Sandshrew said, Ash looking annoyed and Team Rocket busts in. Ash looks even more annoyed. "I'm guessing you gotten A.J.'s Sandshrew." Ash said.

"We're here for your Pikachu twerp."
Jesse said.
"Well, let's take it to the battlefield. "A.J. said, Sandshrew on the battle field along with Jesse's Ekans, James's Koofing, Meowth and the two humans. Sandshrew creams them with Fissure and has them blast off again. Well, more like run off agin.
One hundred wins and one loss.
"Yes! Our hundredth win!" A.J. cheered.

A.J. starts to get ready for his journey.
"Great job A.J. and you too Sandshrew. So you'll start your badge hunt?" Ash said, A.J. nods and says "Well Ash, I'll see you soon."
The day was eventful to say the least. What will happen now, how will everything play out? We'll find out soon.
As the journey continues
