[ POV Change ]

"Whoa." Austin couldn't help but look on in awe from the hilltop he was standing on as Pewter City was in view.

The scenery was beautiful as it showed a combination of nature and urban development.

"It's a nice view, isn't it?" Yellow asked always liking how Pewter City looked from this place before pointing to a certain building. "There's the Gym, one of the City's main attractions along with the Pewter City Museum."

'So that's Brock's Gym.' Austin thought while seeing the gym .

"Pewter City is gray, the color of stone." A new voice spoke up causing Austin and Yellow to look over the hill. "This town has always been famous for stone."

'Oh it's Flint.' Austin thought remembering Brock's Dad who covered his hair with a red hat and had his face covered with a fake beard while wearing a yellow shirt and blue pants.

"Uh who are you?" Yellow asked curiously as she has seen him around Pewter City whenever her parents send her to her Uncle for visits but she never really spoke with him.

" The names Flint and you're standing right next to some of my merchandise young lady."

Yellow blinked as she looked over to see the rocks. "Okay, I know that the city is famous for stones, but isn't this pushing it?"

Austin gave a shrug not really understanding this… Unless they were Hard Stones which increase a Rock-Type move-, yeah that just sounds stupid.

"Cha." Pikachu sighed as he was sitting down, exhausted from walking as Yellow's Weedle was still in her arms like a baby.

" Your Pokemon seem to be exhausted, I take it you just got out of Viridian Forest?" Flint asked as Austin gave a nod. "I'll show you to the Pokemon Center."

As Flint left, Austin looked at Yellow. "So he's a local?"

"Yeah, but I never really spoke with him." Yellow answered.

It was pretty hard to miss the Pokemon Center as Austin handed his team over to Nurse Joy before he was on the Video Phone.

"You gave your Weedle to someone?" Prof. Oak asked in surprise as Austin explained what happened.

" Well Weedle liked her a lot more and she wanted a Pokemon." Austin said with a shrug. "But I need help with making her the new trainer."

"I'll have to create a license and put her in the system." Prof. Oak said with a sigh. "That will take a few days."

"Thanks Prof. Oak." Austin said .

"By the way, I'm impressed by how many Pokemon you caught already." Prof. Oak said as he could see the information from Austin's Pokedex on his computer. "Although Gary has about twelve Pokemon already."

Austin rolled his eyes not really caring by how much Pokemon Ash's rival had.

"Well I'll be in Pewter City for a bit training the Pokemon I do have." Austin said as Prof. Oak gave a nod, accepting that.

"Well your Mother has been helping out at the Lab while the Restaurant was closed." Prof. Oak said not seeing Austin wince at the mention of Ash's mom as he said goodbye to Prof. Oak as he hung up.

He turned to see that Yellow was still hugging Weedle as she looked like she was talking to it, with one of her hands on its head.

'Oh right.' Austin thought as he remembered how she had a power in the Manga.

' What were the powers ? The ability to talk to and heal Pokemon by only touching them , I think she also had slight telekinesis .' Austin thought.

"What?!"

"Wait until you meet Uncle Wilton, Kitty." Yellow said speaking to the Weedle.

Now Austin looked surprised.

Kitty was the English name for her Caterpie in the Manga-... Oh right she never got a Weedle, her first Pokemon was Ratty the Rattata-.

'Dear God, how many things am I messing up?' Austin just thought of how the butterfly effects from all his changes would happen.

First it was the Spearow Attack happening differently, then it was Misty not joining the group and now this?

'Who am I kidding, the butterfly effect began happening the moment I showed up.' Austin thought sardonically before pausing as he saw a poster showing the Pokemon League Regional Championships.

"The Pokemon League." Austin said quietly as he had a frown. 'Do I really want to do this?'

As a little kid watching Pokemon, he always wanted to do something like that but thought it would be impossible.

Now it was possible, but he wanted to go home.

'I guess until I can go home, I may as well.' Austin decided with a determined look, not noticing Flint behind him.

"Thinking of entering the Regionals?" Flint asked causing Austin to jump. "Don't tell me you plan on challenging Brock."

"I am." Austin said looking at him. "After some training of course."

"You would have better luck finding a different Gym." Flint said laughing as he left.

Yellow was quiet as she saw the whole thing before a voice spoke up.

"Yellow De Viridian Grove!" Yellow jumped as Austin turned in confusion when a man wearing an orange vest and an orange hat came stomping towards her.

"U-Uncle Wilton." Yellow looked nervous. "H-Hi."

"Hi?" Wilton said in anger. "No note, one of my spare Pokeballs gone and you were out all night. Do you know how worried I was?!"

Yellow looked down. "I just wanted a Pokemon." She said quietly.

"Oh, so it's alright to disappear for a day without telling anyone?!" Wilton shook his head. "You could've been killed."

"But I had help getting back." Yellow said quickly causing Wilton to raise an eyebrow before seeing Austin who looked a little awkward from the whole thing.

"And who are you?"

"Um… Ash Ketchum." Austin lied as he rubbed the back of his head.
