Pokémon Journeys Rewrite Episode 1-11

So Pokémon Journeys is one of my least favorite Pokémon anime series, not saying it’s bad but just saying it’s not my favorite. I thought Goh was ok, Chloe barely did anything and Ash really should have brought back some Pokémon.

So I’m gonna be rewriting and changing it to make it try better, with some of your suggestions, so no more wasting time let’s start

Are Journeys starts with Ash in Pallet Town, getting ready to go to Galar with Professor Oak for a special meeting

Before Ash goes he visits his old Pokémon, and Bulbasaur and Torterra are trying to stop a fight between Oshawott and Corphish. Apparently Oshawott ate Corphish food and Corphish is angry. Ash helps the two stop arguing and realizes that he’s late and runs back home

Ash is now in Galar and leaves to explore and sees a bunch of trainer battling Lugia

2 people named Goh and Chloe hear this commotion and Goh rushes over to it knowing it has to be a legendary Pokemon and Chloe hesitantly follows

Meanwhile Jessie, James, and Meowth have been tasked to start operations rainbow and our given some of their old Pokemon back and follow Ash to Galar

In Galar Ash is still battling Lugia with the trainers. The trainers start mega evolving their Pokemon and Almost beat Lugia but Goh throws a regular pokeball, and Lugia escapes

The trainers get mad at Goh and tell him that he made them fail their mission, and leave, Ash, Goh, and Chloe introduce themselves but Team Rocket steal Pikachu with some old enemies

Jessie has her Seviper and Gourgeist back, and James has his mime jr, inkay, and Carnivine back

Team Rocket do pretty good because all they were going against was Chloe pet yamper and she wasn’t the best at commanding him, but Mr. mime comes at the last moment and saves Pikachu and they get blasted off, but before Ash can say thank you to Chloe he remembers the meeting professor oak had and runs over

When he gets there Professor Oak introduces him to Professor Cerise and tells Ash about the amazing job opportunity he has for him. Professor Cerise tells him he wants Ash to do get on Pokemon for him, Ash of course agrees and Professor Cerise introduces him to his new partner Goh and his daughter Chloe

Ash is shocked that Chloe is his daughter and tells him that they met before, Professor tells Ash that he’ll start his assignment tomorrow and introduces him to the crew and gives him a new Pokédex. Ash tells his mom about the job and she’s excited for her son and tells him Mr mime will stay to take care of you, Professor Oak and Delia leave and Ash goes to bed thinking about his journey

Ok next episode, it starts with Ash and Goh getting their assignment from Professor Cerise, he tells them that he needs data of starter Pokémon from Galar, and he tells Chloe that she should go too. She is hesitant but Goh convinces her. On the way to motostoke, Ash asks Chloe what’s wrong and she tells him that she doesn’t know what to do with her life and that she was made fun of for not being a Pokemon trainer, and then she starts to blush and say that Goh was really her only friend but before she can say more they arrive in motostoke.

The boys immediately see a Scorbunny and chase after it leaving Chloe alone, Chloe gets annoyed at them and then sees a floating cookie and starts following it, she discovers that it’s a Sobble. Sobble is stealing food because these nickit keep stealing it’s food, Chloe bonds with it because they’re both shy and nervous and aren’t the best at battles

The boys plot is same as the original journeys Scorbunny plot and they meet up with Chloe again, she tells them everything and Ash insists that Chloe should battle the nickit, Chloe first denies but eventually agrees to it and she attempts to battle with Sobble and he learns water gun but Chloe still loses, and nickit runs away because Pikachu. They then take Sobble to the Pokémon center and Sobble wants to travel with Chloe but Chloe doesn’t know how to throw a pokeball, so Goh and Ash throw the pokeball with her

Meanwhile during this episode Team Rocket find a chewtle, who keeps on biting Jessie hair, to get it off Jessie catches it

In our next episode, our gang goes to the wild area to see a pokemon dynamax, and Scorbunny follows them and asks Goh to catch him but Goh rejects saying he only wants Legendary and mythical Pokemon, especially Mew. Scorbunny is saddened by this but before he can run away, a dynamax den is found and they go in with Team Rocket behind them

Inside the den is a dynamax munchlax, Ash wants to battle him with Pikachu, so Chloe, Ash, Team Rocket, and Goh with Scorbunny battle him and during this Goh feels a connection with Scorbunny that he’s never felt before. They defeat Munchlax and Goh catches it, shocking everyone.

Everyone is shot out the den and team rocket are blasted off. Ash asks Goh why he caught munchlax and Goh tells him that Scorbunny really changed him and that he’s fine with catching Pokemon that aren’t Legendaries or Mythic and catches Scorbunny.

Meanwhile Team Rocket land at a Galar Cafe, but it seems to be abandoned because of a eating menace, when they check inside they find a Morpeko in hangry mode, to stop Morpeko, James catches it but Morpeko comes out, sending Team Rocket on a Morpeko Blast off

In our next episode, Professor Cerise is sending Ash and Goh to Hoenn to do some research on Hoenn Pokemon and Chloe actually wants to go but quickly pretends she doesn’t

When they get there Ash realizes that there’s a tournament being heard called the flute cup and meets a trainer named Hodge with his main Pokemon Salamence

Ash of course wants to compete in the tournament but Goh reminds him of the assignment but Ash begs to compete and Goh lets him while he does the studies

Ash signs up and Chloe does too, thinking that maybe battling is her purpose. Team Rocket also sign up for the tournament.

Ash is put up against a trainer with Aggron and ash uses Mimey against it. Mimey is able to beat Aggron with his barriers and coolness. Chloe is put up against James’ Inkay. Chloe tries her best but loses to James Inkay. Sobble sadden by this but Chloe comforts him.

Jessie is put up against Hodge’s Mightyena. Jessie uses her Seviper but loses, really angering her

Meanwhile with Goh, him and Scorbunny our looking for some Hoenn Pokemon and meet a lady with a Suicune, Goh introduces himself to her and she tells him her name Danika and that she’s here for a project, They start talking and Goh tells her his dream, and she starts to remember who he is, asking him if he’s the guy who tried to catch Lugia, which he embarrassingly says yes.

She tells him, he doesn’t seem as bad as the people say. He then asks why she’s here and she tells him, she’s here to catch a manaphy, which excites Goh, and he asks if he can help her, which she agrees to

Back at the flute cup Ash, James, Hodge, and a trainer with a flygon are still competing, and James is put against Hodge. Ash realizes that he needs 3 Pokémon for this match and runs to the Pokémon center to get one. James first sends out his Inkay against Hodge’s Hariyama, which Inkay ties with. James then sends out his Carnivine against Hodge’s Blaziken which loses to Blaziken. James then was about to send out his Mime jr but didn’t, because he didn’t want him to get hurt so he forfeits angering Meowth and Jessie

Meanwhile Goh and Danika find a Manaphy and Danika battles it to catch it and Goh helps, she then tells Goh that he has potential and gives him a card for Project Legends and she leaves, Goh then hurries back to the tournament to watch Ash’s match. Ash sends out Mimey against Hariyama. Mimey beats him the same way as canon, and like canon refuses to do the next battle. Hodge sends out his Salamence and Ash sends out his Glalie. Salamence starts with a Dragon Pulse, and Glalie dodges. Ash then tells Glalie to use Freeze Dry but Salamence dodges and uses Dragon Rush. Glalie stops the attack with Headbutt. Ash then comes up with a strategy and tells Glalie to be ready. Salamence uses another Dragon Rush and Ash tells Glalie to dodge, and use Freeze dry on Salamence wings, making it slower. Ash then tells Glalie to make Ice Pillars around the battlefield with Ice Beam, and to use Double Team. Then all the Glalie uses Headbutt bouncing everywhere, thanks to Ice Pillars and knocks out Salamence. Hodge then sends out Mightyena and tells him to bite all the Ice Pillars. Ash then tells Glalie to use Ice Beam, and Mightyena dodges and uses Bite. Ash then has Glalie use Headbutt but Hodge tells Mightyena use sucker punch, but Ash has Glalie use that momentum from that hit, to power up the Headbutt, but this backfire because Glalie is knocked out from the collison. Ash then chooses Pikachu, and the battle goes the same as canon.

Ash wins the flute cup and Hodge finally remembers who Ash is, the alola champ, shocking Chloe and Goh. Later that night Goh and Chloe talk, and Goh asks her if she enjoyed battling which she tells him no. Goh reassures her that she’ll find what she likes to do. She smiles at Goh, and Goh tells her while blushing that he likes it when she travels with them, which makes her blush, but Ash interrupts this moment, telling them that dinner is done.

Ok next episode, Ash, Goh, and Chloe are about to eat breakfast, and Ash grabs a banana but a grookey steals it and runs off. This angers Ash, and he says you should never steal food, and says he’s gonna get his banana back. Goh says he can just have, another banana and to let it go, but Ash tells him this isn’t about the banana, but about Food rights, which confuses Goh, and Ash says May would understand, and runs after it. Ash eventually finds grookey, and sees he was just hungry, and tells him not to steal food and just ask next time, and lets him have the banana. Grookey gives him back the banana though, and Ash thanks him, but this was all a prank because the banana gets launched in Ash’s face, and Grookey and Pikachu laugh. Team Rocket end up taking Grookey, but Ash and Pikachu save him, and Grookey wants to come with Ash, so Ash attempts to catch grookey, but grookey dodges it, and laughs at Ash. Ash is annoyed but Grookey ends up pressing the Pokeball, getting himself caught

Ok next episode, Professor Cerise tells Ash and Goh that he has tickets to Raihan vs Leon, and that he bought them tickets too, really exciting Ash. Chloe asks if she could go and Professor Cerise knew she was gonna ask and bought her some tickets too.

Team Rocket are listening to conversation, and think it’s time to go back to their roots, being marketing.

The gang get to the stadium, and the battles start. Raihan and Leon come out, and send out their pokemon for the battle. Leon uses his Charizard and Raihan uses his Duraldon.

Raihan tells him that todays the day, Leon will go down, but Leon says we’ll see and the battle begins. Raihan immediately Gigantmax his Duraldon and confusing Ash. Ash asks what’s happening and professor Cerise an Chloe tell him about Dynamax.

Leon doesn’t Gigantmax his Pokémon, making Raihan mad that Leon so confident and tells Duraldon to use G-Max Depletion but Charizard dodges, and goes in for a Flare Blitz, doing some damage. Raihan then tells Duraldon to use Max Steel Spike but Charizard just flies up, and uses Fire Blast. Raihan then has Duraldon use Max Rockfall, which Charizard dodges, and Duraldon returns back to normal size. A sandstorm starts hurting Charizard, and Leon comments, saying he knows what Raihan was doing, and tells Charizard to stay and uses Air Slash.

Duraludon tanks it and uses Breaking Swipe, hitting Charizard, but is in a good position to get fire blast off. Duraludon uses Rock Slide, and Charizard dodges and uses Flare Blitz, knocking out Duraludon.

Ash is amazed by Leon battling skills and wants to battle him. Leon after he defeats Raihan, announces that he’ll battle one of the people from the audience. Ash is picked, and he rushes down.

Leon and Ash introduce themselves and gets the battle started. Ash uses Pikachu and Leon uses his Charizard. Charizard starts with a Flare Blitz and Pikachu dodges. Leon comments on Pikachu incredible speed, but says he’ll need more than speed to beat him, and tells Charizard use Fire Blast. Pikachu dodges and uses Quick Attack, but Charizard is able to get a Fire Blast off, when Pikachu hits Charizard. Ash then tells Pikachu to use Iron Tail but Charizard dodges, and Pikachu hits the ground. When he does this pink light comes up and Pikachu starts getting bigger and bigger. Ash asks if Pikachu dynamaxed, but Leon tells him that he actually Gigantmax. Ash tells Pikachu to use quick attack but he goes super slow. Charizard dodges and uses Fire Blast.

Ash then tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, getting a big hit on Charizard. Ash tells Pikachu another Thunderbolt but Charizard able to dodge it, and Pikachu shrinks back to normal size.

Pikachu uses quick attack and Charizard uses Air Slash, getting some hit on Pikachu. Leon then finishes tries to finish this off, with a Flare Blitz. Ash has Pikachu use thunderbolt and is able to stop Charizard’s Flare Blitz. Leon impressed with Pikachu Power but says he still won’t win. Leon tells Charizard to use Air Slash and Pikachu stops it with Electro Web, but this was all a distraction because Charizard comes in with a Flare Blitz, knocking Pikachu out. Ash comes to pick up Pikachu, telling him he did a good job. Leon walks over and thanks Ash for the great battle. Leon then goes to announce that the new World Coronation Series is starting, and whoever wins gets to battle him. Ash asks what Leon what the World Coronation Series is and he tells him, it’s a competition, where you earn points to rank up, and those in the highest rank, have a chance to compete in the Master 16, and whoever wins that gets to battle the previous winner of the World Coronation Series being him. This excites Ash even more, because he gets the chance to battle Leon again, and he goes back to Chloe, Goh, and Professor Cerise.

Now we cut back to Team Rocket at the end, who apparently have been doing a bunch of training off screen in marketing for this tournament, but right when they’re about to start, the tournament ends, leaving them disappointed

Now these next two episodes are going to be the same as Canon, being the Riolu episode and the Dragonite episode, so Ash has a Dragonite and a Riolu now.

Ok next episode, Goh gets ready to go tryout for Project Legends. When they get there, Danika greets them, and takes them to Professor Amaranth. They introduce themselves and Goh says he wants to join. Professor Amaranth tells him, he has to complete the test before joining, and sends the tasks to his rotom phone. Goh gets back to lab, and checks his first task. Goh's first Task is catching a shiny Pokémon. Ash gets a notification that says his next battle will be against Iris. Chloe asks who that is, and Ash tells her an old friend he used to travel with. Ash then tells Goh they should go to Unova, to find a Shiny Pokemon because that’s where his battle will be, and Goh agrees.

Our Gang arrives in Unova, and Ash sends out a Pokemon he’s bringing back, being Scraggy. Ash tells Scraggy he needs to do a lot of training for his battle against Iris and his big brother and Scraggy agree, but not before head butting Ash. Scraggy also forms a big brother bond with Riolu, showing his development.

Ash then asks Goh, what a shiny pokemon is. Goh says apparently it’s a pokemon that’s a different color, making Ash realize that he has his own shiny. Ash runs to the Pokemon Center and gets another old Pokemon back, his Noctowl.

Goh is amazed, and asks Ash to trade it to him but Ash rejects, saying he has to get one himself, but tells him Noctowl can help them find one. They then meet someone named Shane Seeker who is obsessed with shiny Pokemon, and is amazed by Noctowl. He tells them he is looking for a shiny Volcarona, hidden in a cave. The gang asks to go and he agrees. They go into the cave and battle many Pokémon, the last one being a Golurk, that they woke up. Ash, Goh, and Shane Seeker are able to beat it, with Chloe on the sidelines. After Golurk runs aways, shiny Volcarona comes out, with its beauty, amazing them all. But they were so amazed that nobody tried to catch it, annoying Goh.

They all leave the cave, with Goh sad. His Munchlax comes out his pokeball to cheer him up, and Shane Seeker is super astonished, and tells Goh that Munchlax is shiny, shocking everyone, because the color barely changed. Goh completes his first task, by taking a picture of Munchlax and sending it. They all say Goodbye to Shane Seeker and Ash trains for his battle with Iris

Next episode, Ash is training his Pokémon for his battle with Iris, but Goh and Chloe hear a lot of noise from the Nimbasa gym, so they all try to see what’s going on. On the way there Ash meets up with an old friend, Drew. Ash asks why he’s here and where May is. Drew is surprised Ash hasn’t heard the news, and tells him about the World coordinator competition. This competition has Coordinators around the world, competing against each other to see who’s the best Coordinator, and the people who have 5 ribbons, get to compete in the Master 16. He then tells Ash that May, at a new buffet that opened here. May then comes over, and She and Ash catch up and Ash introduces her to Chloe and Goh. May tells Ash that she and Drew are competing in the World Coordinator Competition and realizes that she’s late, and hasn’t signed up yet and rushes over to sign up, and Drew follows her.

Chloe tells Goh that she wants to compete in the contest, thinking it might be what she wants to do with her life. Ash says if she gonna compete, then he’ll compete too in this one contest, and they go sign up.

Jessie finds out about this competition, and decides to compete as Jessalina.

The contest is now beginning, and all 3 announcers, Marian, Vivian, and Lilian, introduce the judges. (Being the same is the show) Chloe asks Ash if he has one any contests and He tells her he once tied and Ash and May pull out their ribbon half. Ash is first up and May warns him, to make sure he focuses on the Pokémon and him, and Ash says he knows and goes up on stage.

Ash sends out his Grookey and Corphish, Grookey starts playing music, and Ash and Corphish start dancing to it. May facepalms, and Goh and Pikachu are embarrassed. Chloe next, and she has Sobble uses water gun up, making it rain. This backfires though because Sobble turns invisible and he starts crying, making Chloe cry.

Next up is Drew, and he uses his Roserade and Masquerain, to make a beautiful performance.

Jessalina up next, and she uses Wobbuffet and frillish, who she just brought back. She has Wobbuffet use counter and runs into him, flinging her in the air. Once in the air, she has Frillish use Psychic, to carry her and make her fly through the air. Frillish also uses bubble beam, and Jessie flies around the bubble, and Frillish throws Jessie up. Jessie starts flipping and lands on Wobbuffet's head, and all the bubbles explode, making sparkles everywhere.

Lastly, May is next, and she uses Blaziken and Glaceon. She first tells Glaceon to use Icy Wind to freeze the floor. She then has Blaziken to ice skate around the field. May then tell Glaceon to use Icicle Crash, making giant ice spears in some places. Blaziken then starts to break the icicle spears with Brick Break, and after that, uses Overheat towards the air, melting the ice, making sparkles everywhere.

Chloe is a bit sad her Performance went horribly, but Goh, Ash, and May try to cheer her up. The people who are going to the next round are then revealed, and Ash, May, Jessilina, and Drew, get to go to the next round. Chloe is sad she lost, but May tells her, she used to lose all the time, but after practice and help from friends, she got better, which makes Chloe feel a bit better.

We now skip to round 3, and Drew is up against Jessilina. Jessie uses her Frillish and Drew uses Flygon. While Jessie puts up a good fight, she eventually loses to Flygon Dragon Pulse, scaring James and Meowth.

The Next Contest battle is Ash vs May. May sends out her Blaziken and Ash sends out his Sceptile. Sceptile starts with Leaf Blade, hitting Blaziken, but he sticks the landing, making Ash lose points. Ash then has Sceptile use Solar Beam, and May has Blaziken use Overheat, making a beautiful sparkly explosion, making Ash lose more points. Blaziken then jumps into the sparkles and uses Blaze Kick, which Sceptile blocks with Leaf Blade, and while blocking, has Sceptile use Solar Beam, hitting Blaziken, making May lose points. Sceptile uses Leaf Storm, and Blaziken stops it by quickly kicking all the leaves with Blaze kick.

Time is running out and May asks Ash if he notices anything new about her, and she turns around to reveal that on the back of her hat is a mega stone, shocking Ash and Sceptile. Blaziken starts to mega evolve and uses Blaze kick. Sceptile tries to block but can’t, and Blaziken uses Over heat, getting more damage off. Ash then tells Sceptile to use Agility to bounce off the wall and use Leaf Blade, getting a big hit on Blaziken. Ash then has Sceptile use Solar Beam but Blaziken dodges with a backflip and uses Blaze Kick, and gets a hit off. Before May and Blaziken can do anymore, time runs out, and May wins due to Ash having less points.

It’s now the last round and May is against Drew. May uses Altaria and Drew uses Flygon. Flygon uses Dragon Pulse and Altaria uses Moonblast, causing a beautiful explosion. Flygon then uses Dragon Pulse and May has Altaria use Cotton Guard, avoiding the damage, making Drew lose more points. Altaria uses Moonblast and Drew has Flygon dodge with Dragon Dance, and use go in for a Dragon Claw, getting a big hit on Altaria. Drew has Flygon uses Dragon Pulse, and Altaria uses Cotton Guard, and tanks the hit. But Drew was expecting this and tells Flygon to use Boomburst, blowing off the cotton guard, and giving Flygon the perfect opportunity to use Dragon Claw. May then has Altaria use Moonblast, but Flygon dodges and it causes a beautiful explosion. May uses this explosion to use Dragon Rush on Flygon. Altaria then uses Moonblast, but Flygon launches back with Boomburst. Altaria about to use Dragon Rush but time runs out, and Drew beats May.

Marian, Vivian, and Lilian, announce Drew as the winner and Drew gets his first ribbon. May tells Drew, that next time she’ll win the ribbon, and tells her, why don’t have a rose instead and hands her one, causing her to blush.

May and Drew say goodbye to the gang because May has to go back home, and May and Ash pull out their ribbon half one more time.

Chloe and Goh talk later, and Goh tells her he is sorry the contest thing didn’t work out, but she tells him that she’s going to try the contest again. Goh asks why, and she tells him, that she barely got to do anything and it might be her thing. Goh tells her, she doesn’t need to rush anything, and to slow down, but Chloe says she’s still gonna do it, and Goh hesitantly says ok.

Ok last episode for this long post, Ash is ready to train for his battle, but has a big problem, Scraggy Focus Blast, still misses. Ash tries to get Scraggy to use it again but it misses and hits a Pokémon. The gang goes to check who it hit. The Pokemon that was hit was the Scrafty that taught Scraggy High Jump Kick. Scrafty then uses his own Focus Blast that was perfectly on target, and Ash and Scraggy ask if Scrafty can help Scraggy with Focus Blast and Scrafty agrees. Scrafty trains Scraggy the whole episode but Team Rocket end up stealing Scrafty and Pikachu, and to save them Scraggy masters Focus Blast. Ash and Scraggy thank Scrafty and he leaves back to his cave to rest, and Ash is ready for his battle with Iris.

Ok those are episodes 1-11. I know this was really long but I wanted to do a lot for the first post, because the beginning was a little slow, but next time should be slow.

Thank you guys for the suggestion (u/lucas_tong_3133,Ashyboi13,u/BasisSmall5351,u/No_Arm3883,u/TheEpicAvengerSMM5, and u/Lonely_Age_5240) and if you’re suggestion wasn’t used yet, don’t worry, I’ll probably use it later and please give me suggestions if you want to

Well hope you enjoyed and give me feedback please and stay tuned for the next part, being Ash and Iris’ battle
