MOTH Starshipping Part 1

Master Of The Heart
A Haine and Ash Story
Starshipping Part 1




It had been a long day of training, Chikorita and myself were heading back to the Violet city gym, it had been a while since I had seen Falkner or my father for that matter. It would be nice to return home after just completing the Kanto league. I have now officially become a Pokémon master and champion. Still though, I wanted to do something more with my life. Call me crazy, I know people only dream to reach the level that I have, but I still want to do more, maybe head on over to another region. Either way I'm home now, I should just take a break. "Dad, I'm back!" I cried out as I opened the door to my house. "Haine… Is that you?" Dad asked as he ran out to give me a big hug. "Chika" Chikorita cried out as she announced her presence. "Of course you two Chiki" Dad smiled as he patted her on the head. Chiki was the nickname that was used sometimes towards my Chikorita. "So how is my little Pokémon master?" Dad smiled as he sat down on the couch. "Well I am doing good, tired but I think I will go see Falkner now" I replied as I then headed out the door. Dad would understand, after all Falkner has been my best friend since we were little.

"FALKY!" I cried out as I ran inside the gym. My father used to be the gym leader but then passed it onto Falkner when I refused. You see this is a flying gym and well, I have a fear of flying Pokémon, ever since I was little and I got attacked by a swarm of Pidgey.  "Haine?" Falkner spoke as I ran up to hug him. "How's it going?" I grinned. "I should be asking you, champion!" Falkner smiled back; it was so nice seeing him again. "Who is she?" I looked over to see a younger boy with black hair and a red hat, he had a Pikachu on his shoulder and beside him was a girl with short orange hair in a side ponytail, and also an older guy I would assume around the age of 17, he was dark skinned and had squinted eyes. "This is Haine Ki, she is a Pokémon champion who has completed the Johto and Kanto leagues, she is considered a Master and is now world famous." Falkner replied quite proudly, he had always been like an older brother to me. "Wow, you're Haine Ki! It's an honor to meet you, call me Brock. You are so much more beautiful in real life then in the magazines." Brock stated. "She's too young for you!" The girl stated as she pulled his ear and dragged him away. "My name is Ash Ketchum and I'm from Pallet town, and this is Pikachu" Ash stated, "Pikachu" Pikachu spoke. "My name is Misty; it's so nice to meet you." Misty smiled. "So Ash let me guess you challenged Falkner to a battle?" I asked. "Yeah and I just won the badge." Ash beamed as he flashed the badge. "Congrats, maybe some day you will be able to challenge me." I smiled. "I challenge you right now!" Ash stated as everyone expressions turned to shock. "Ash she's a champion, you don't stand a chance" Brock stated. "He's right Ash, another time." Falkner replied. "I don't care, I want to battle, my dream is to become a Pokémon Master and by beating her I am one step closer." Ash replied. "Actually if you do beat me you would be a champion, so let's make this interesting, you beat me and I will recognize you as the strongest trainer in the world. If I win, you have to let me join you for a while on your travels." I replied. "You want to go with them?" Falkner asked. "Well you see, I find him interesting, he kind of reminds me of me, how I used to be and recently I have been feeling a bit low, I think that traveling with them for a bit would inspire me more you know?" I stated. "Deal!" Ash smirked. "3 on 3?" I asked. "Sounds good to me" Ash replied.

So there we were facing off, "I will start" I smiled, "Okay!" Ash yelled back. "Chiki, you are up!" I winked as she jumped off of my shoulder to the ground. "Then I will use, Chikorita GO" Ash yelled as he released his own Chikorita. "So you have a little cutie too, she's adorable" I squealed. "Yeah but she's strong!" Ash said confidently, "Not strong enough" I replied just as confident. "Chikorita use Vinewhip" Ash yelled out. I was surprised, Chikorita's normally can't use that move, however I have one as well. "Petaldance" I spoke as petals flew out surrounding Ash's Chikorita and sending her flying. "Chikorita is unable to battle" Falkner yelled out. "Good job Chikorita, return… You are strong…" Ash looked shocked that his Chikorita was taken out in one hit when it was even a grass move being used. "Charizard I choose you!" Ash yelled out as his fully evolved Pokémon appeared in front of me. "Nice choice, I have one myself. For this I will then use Ninetales" I called out as my stunning fox Pokémon took the stage. "A Ninetales huh… Alright use Flamethrower!" Ash commanded I just smirked. "Psychic" I spoke as Ninetales attack controlled the fire attack sending it back double power. Charizard took all the damage and then fainted. "Charizard…" Ash's voice started to shake. I don't think he was expecting my Pokémon to be this strong… But I have been at this longer then him. "Thank you Charizard… Return" Ash smiled. I could tell he loved his pokemon deeply. "Your Charizard is very strong, I could tell by the beautiful flamethrower it preformed." I grinned. "Thanks Haine… Your Pokemon are amazing, let's see how your pokemon hold up against my best friend. Pikachu are you ready?" Ash asked. "Pika" Pikachu agreed. "Alright then I will use my oldest friend" I winked as I through out the Pokeball. "Rai" Raichu greeted everyone. "I thought Chikorita was your starter?" Ash questioned. "She was, but when I was a little girl my dad found a pokemon egg and out hatched a Pichu, I then took her on my journey after I got my Chikorita and well she got really strong." I replied. "Its color looks different?" Misty questioned, "Yes this Raichu is a Shiny" I replied. "What does that mean?" Ash asked. "A Shiny pokemon are pokemon who have a different coloring. They are very rare." Falkner replied. "Well Pikachu, let's get going, use quick attack!" Ash commanded again. "Raichu Hyper Beam" I spoke as a powerful beam hit Pikachu sending it flying… I ended up catching it in my arms. "PIKACHU!" Ash cried out as he ran up to me. "Here you go… I hope he is okay…" I said with a look of concern on my face. "He will be… Thanks." Ash smiled back. "So looks like you will be coming with us for a bit." Misty smiled. "Yep" I nodded.

After I said goodbye to my dad and Falkner again, the four of us headed out. I could tell that this was going to be the start of something.
