Chapter- 5 First encounter with team rocket

After resting for one night in the inn Ash gets fully energies. Ash trains for an hour then decides to visit Mr poo without further delay.

After travelling for while Ash reaches Mr.poo house. There he is greeted with respect like his father was. Mr.poo worked as Pallet Pokedex before Pokedex was invented by prof.oak.

They travelled in various city and region together, Mr.poo was pallet coach too he used to guide pallet whenever he was in dilemma. With Mr poo by his side pallet train himself to be the very best and won against every gym leader he faced as well as tournament he participate in. They both had a long history together.

After a refreshing talk with Ash Mr poo asked why is Ash searching him. Then Ash showed him the map.

After seeing the map Mr poo immediate grabs Ash's hands and drags him inside a hidden vault room which entry door was covered under the living room sofa.

The vault is a big room with most of the room is dark because no light enters the room there is no window and most of the room is filled with books, it must be some kind of secret library but why hide books from the world was brothering Ash while he was walking down the stairs of the vault.

After entering the secret vault Ash asked why he was suddenly dragged here. Mr.poo keeps the map inside some kind of scanner then a light flash below the scanner indicating that it is scanning the map.

After that Mr poo turns toward Ash and indicates him to sit in the chair.

Mr Poo: Boy, where did you find the map?

Ash: It was given to me by Prof. Oak and told me to meet you.

Mr.poo: That old man is stupid why would he give it to you, carrying this map may risk your life.

Ash : (in shock tone) what? ..He was directed by my father to give it to me when I am capable enough.

Mr.poo: You are only fifteen years old that doesn't make sense or does it, oh! boy, do you possess any power as your father had?

Then Ash gives him the Pokeball which was given to him by prof oak as his first Pokemon Pikachu is inside the ball.

Mr.poo: Wait don't tell me Pikachu is inside that ball?

Ash:(nodes his head) Yes he is inside the ball.

As Ash says that Mr poo becomes convinced that ash has some gifts as his father had, he was able to train the wildest and most powerful Pikachu in the world but till now Ash doesn't know the true power of the Pikachu and the world doesn't know the truth of Pikachu. If team rocket finds that this boy has his father Pikachu they will tear him apart.

A few minutes pass, Mr poo gathers all his resource that he has in the library and focus on finding the actual location of the map. After searching for a while Mr poo becomes able to locate the place. He writes something in a paper in numerical form what it looks like is a coordinate, then he hands the card to ash and tells him that the card contains the coordinate of the map this will help you to gather enough information about the place.

Suddenly, the house starts to shake.

Ash : (panic tone) What..what was that?

Mr.poo : (In serious tone)Ash listen to my word carefully! find my daughter Misty she will help you in your journey she lives in the cerulean city.

Ash is totally confused by now as the whole house is shaking he hears many men shouting above the vault floor.

Mr.poo: Ash please leave this place right now there is an exit door right behind where you are sitting.

Ash: But what's going on?

Mr.poo: It seems like team rocket has come to know about the map, which leads them here. You must leave this place, eventually, they will find us down here we don't have enough time.

Upon hearing adrenaline rush through ash body for long time team rocket is interfering in his life, from his father disappearance to his mother sadness all of this is due to team rocket now he had enough, today is the day he would protect Mr.poo and k team rocket.

Mr.poo sees a fire in Ash's eye, the fire that is determined to burn the empire of team rocket into ashes.

Ash: No mr.poo I won't leave you, I will show this bustard what I have got, I will avenge my father.

As soon as ash finish the dialogue he grabs Pokeball from his pocket and throws it on the ground. The Pokeball is sent flying in the air and in the mid-air Mr.poo catches the ball.

Mr.poo holding the ball says: Keep your bravery and strength, for now, boy you will need it later but for now, think about your dream if team rocket knows who you are then they will chase you till your last breath. Please for the sake of your father and the world leave now.

Ash says: No I won't leave you to die like this.

Mr.poo knows that he will not be able to convince Ash to leave, then he grabs a Pokeball from his pocket and throws it on the ground. After hitting the ground Bulbasaur pops out from the ball.

Mr.poo: Bulbasaur uses Sleep powder on ash.

Without even thinking twice Bulbasaur throws powder toward Ash, At that speed, Ash becomes unable to dodge the sleeping powder and falls asleep in the ground rock solid.

Mr.poo tells Bulbasaur to protect Ash and take him out if the city for now.

Bulbasaur grows a long vine from his body and Carries Ash out from the house. As soon as Bulbasaur gets out from the whole building collapse in the ground leaving a huge cloud of dust in the air.

Since Bulbasaur's was commanded to protect Ash he didn't get enough time to written back and save Mr.poo.

Mr.poo was the greatest navigator who could easily read all the map if the world, he was one of the few people who could read the ancient language as well as pokemon sign language.

Mr poo had vowed his life toward pallet as he was saved by pallet when he was in great danger. Now he has paid his debt to pallet by saving his son Ash Ketcham from team rocket for now. He knew this day would come so he was ready to give it all.
