Chapter - 6, Battle at the Water Field

Announcer: what a battle folk, looks like we have a super rookie on our hands and will he be defeated soon or will this be his demise. Let's see further in the Indigo league. 

As the announcer said that both Ash and Mundy could be seen shaking hands and going out of the ice field towards the Pokémon centre. 

Ash POV – 

After the battle with Mundy and shaking hands, I went directly to the Pokémon centre and gave my Pokémon to Nurse Joy, I was then had to select a new field to battle in and after a 30 Second wait the light had stopped on the Water field.

Nurse Joy: very well, Ash Ketchum your next fight is tomorrow at 11:00 AM in the Water Field and as your opponent is not decided yet, but you can find about your opponent in the official league website by 5:00 PM today. And when your Pokémon are ready, we will give you a call. 

Ash: very well, thank you nurse Joy. 

Nurse Joy: it was nothing Mr. Ketchum. Now next person please. 

As I was out of the stadium, I was tackled by Misty and Shaked violently by her. 

Misty: ASH KETCHUM HOW DARE YOU KEEEP SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WATER POKEMONS AWAY FROM ME AND NOT SHOW THEM TO ME AND I WANT TO MEET HIM NOW…..

She kept on shaking me and yelling at me at the same time and after a while she let me go with the help of brock, Mr. mime and Professor Oak. While mom was away, and awhile later I got to know mom had gone to some shops to buy some dresses that she liked. 

Later Misty did calm down and apologised and said that my Pokémon are with nurse Joy and I also told them about tomorrows match in the Water Field and Misty was in her own world and I don't even think she listened in on what my tomorrow Pokémon will be or any strategy I might apply, while me and Brock talked, about tomorrows fight and what I could have improved in toady's fight. And I got some really insightful thoughts and I also talked about seeing my match and seeing if we could notice any weak spots in them. 

Later I talked with Professor Oak, about Gary and according to him he has already won his first round as well, in the Rock field and will battle in the Grass field tomorrow, I also got a message about my Pokémon ready for Pick up and I went and collected them, fed them up and then told them about them going back to the laboratory while a bit sad, we already talked about giving others a chance to compete and after that I sent them back, I did not take any Pokémon with me for now as I want to see my opponents battle and his trainer page before making a choice. I also started to watch Gary match and his trainer page, and some other notable trainer I could find and their battles and Soon I met with mom, and went and had our dinner with Brock, and Misty. As Professor was with Gary. I also saw my opponent and it was Maz from Fuchsia city. 

The next day, I had all my Pokémon with me and Pikachu on my shoulders, sitting and watching everything and I had also Haunter in my shadows. 

Soon I was in the wating room, for the announce to call my name and there it was. 

Announcer: now lets welcome Ash Ketchum from Pallet town. 

As I heard that I went in to the field and got on my podium and I see my opponent on the opposite side of me.
