The Journey of Ash Ketchum(Kanto)

Gringy City

Gringy City

The gang were at a place called Gringey City

"This place is weird," Serena said "It has lots of factories but no people"

"Gringey City used to be a lively place with all the factories around here." Brock said But unfortunately, they went overboard which caused the pollution to ruin the air & water."

"Come on, guys, let's go to the Pokémon Center & get out of here tomorrow morning" Ash said

When they arrived at the Pokémon Center

"They really need to start cleaning up after themselves in this city." Serena said

"That's exactly right." Brock agreed

Suddenly the lights went out

"Oh great, that's exactly what we need." Meowth sulked

"Hey Nurse Joy?" Ash called out

"I'm over here" Joy's voice called out

They entered the medical room & saw Nurse Joy

"This is bad" Joy said with worry looking at the Pokémon in their incubators "If we don't get the power back on, who knows what will happen to the Pokémon"

Then the gang went to Officer Jenny at the station

"I'm trying to find out, but the power plants not answering" Jenny said

"Jenny, where's the power plant?" Ash asked

"It's the big building with the smokestacks." Jenny said "You can't miss it"

They went to the power plant & looked around

"That's weird, why isn't anybody working?" Brock said

"The map says the control room is that way" Serena said looking at a map on the wall

They went down the path to the control room, & suddenly they heard a clattering noise

"Hello?" Ash called out "is anyone out there?"

Just then a Magnemite came out of the air vent

"It's a Magnemite" Brock said

"It couldn't be the one who caused the blackout since it's alone" Serena said

"Magnemite" Magnemite said observing Pikachu

"Pika Pika" Pikachu said sending electrical waves from his cheeks to Magnemite's magnets

"What's Pikachu doing?" Ash said

"He's using his electricity to communicate with Magnemite." Brock said "It's how Electric Type Pokémon communicate with each other"

After a few seconds of communication between Pikachu & Magnemite

"Magnemite" Magnemite said happily

"Pikachu." Pikachu smiled

"I think Magnemite has grown fond of Pikachu" Serena said

"Magne?" Magnemite said as it sensed something

"What's wrong, Magnemite?" Ash asked

Then suddenly another air vent door opened & out came multiple purple sludge-like Pokémon

"What are they?" Serena said holding her nose as Ash pulled out his Rotom Phone

Grimer, The Sludge Pokémon, A Poison Type, Most people dislike the industrial waste created by factories, but Grimer happily feasts on the icky slime. To survive, it has to maintain a certain level of germs in its body
