Hey guys! Bet you weren't expecting a sequel, huh? Or, maybe you were. I don't know. But the point is, I'm writing one! And hopefully it will be just as good, maybe even better than the first!
However, there is one thing that you need to know, and I cannot stress this enough: READ "EXTINCT" FIRST!!!!!
I wouldn't say it is completely essential, in the sense that if you don't read Extinct, this story's predecessor, you will not understand anything, but I HIGHLY recommend it. I think Extinct is one of my best stories, although I admit, it may not be that good. But I still recommend you read it.
You'd better have read Extinct by now. Because you really should before you read this story. Anyway, those who have read Extinct, which should be all of you, will know that it was inspired by Jurassic Park. I had to include that, or else the story would seem like a rip-off.
Well, this story is inspired by The Lost World, AKA Jurassic Park II, which I just watched about a week ago. I actually came up with the idea for a sequel when I was bored in Ancient History class. I think I actually like The Lost World more than Jurassic Park. The idea of a jungle of dinosaurs, with no fences or cages, was really cool.
And, of course, when I see a cool idea, I make a fic based off of it. I've done it tons of times: Spiderman 3, Yes Man, It's a Wonderful Life, SAW, Portal: Prelude…they've all had fics made that are based on them. Some of these fics ended up really horribly sucking. Some ended up awesome. But the point is, I like to base my stories off of other things. And this one actually is almost a rip-off. But it's not. I added a Pokémon touch to it, and used the pokémon characters.
Also, a little warning: I have a very good imagination. That is not a boast, it is a fact. When I read stories, it's actually like I'm right there in the scene. Or maybe that's how everybody's imagination works. I don't know. But this sometimes impacts my stories. So, just…be ready. Some of this may actually do better in a movie than a story.
One last thing: This fic is rated T for a reason. People will die. Don't say I didn't warn you. My judgment says you should be at least 11, maybe 10 to read this story. But that's just what I think.
Anyway, you don't want to read all this stupid crap! Let's get to the actually story! Ages are as follows: Ash is 36, Misty is 37, Jared and Lisa are 13. Who are Jared and Lisa? That's what you're gonna find out!

Chapter 1
22 years. It seems like a very long time. Almost everything more than ten minute seems like a while. But the thing with time is, it seems to drag on very slowly when it is actually passing, but once the waiting is over, it seems as if no time has passed at all. This is true no matter how long the time is.
22 years. That was how long Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower had been in love. However, now they were just Ash and Misty Ketchum. They were married. They had their own family-Ash, Misty, and two children-twins.
Jared, the boy, looked a lot like his father-from his messy hair to his boyish grin. The only things different was that his hair was orangey-red, like his mother, and he had his mother's emerald-green eyes. Jared was optimistic, sometimes too much so. He believed that in the end, everything always worked out for the best. Because of this, he didn't usually worry about anything. Jared was friendly, and had a real knack for cheering people up. He was athletic, and loved sports.
Lisa looked almost exactly like her mother. The only thing different was her eyes-they were dark brown, like her father's. Her hair was long and orangey-red. She was beautiful, which in a way worried her father. In his opinion, no boy could look at Lisa without his heart skipping a beat. Like any father, he was worried about his daughter meeting a boy like him as a teenager.
Today it was summer. Ash was woken up by his alarm which he, in his tiredness last night, had forgotten to turn off. He turned the alarm off, almost breaking the radio with the force of his hand. He groaned and rolled over in bed, trying to go back to sleep. He could tell that his wife Misty was trying to do the same. But no matter what, he couldn't seem to be able to fall back asleep. Finally, he gave up, and remembered something.
Today was their anniversary. Not only that, it was also Jared and Lisa's birthday. He smiled, leaning over and kissing his wife on the forehead. She opened her eyes a pinch and looked up at him. They looked at each other for a few seconds. Then, as she always did, she pulled his head down and kissed him on the lips with no warning. No matter what, this always startled Ash, and as always, once the shock was gone, he put his hands on her cheeks. Then, after a couple seconds, they disembraced. They stared at each other for a few more seconds, and then Misty smiled.
"Happy anniversary."
Ash grinned and sat up, along with Misty. They both got out of bed and began getting dressed.
"Today is also the kid's birthday," he said.
"I know," said Misty. "Isn't it sort of funny how the day we fell in love, the day we got married, and the day that we had our first children are all on the same date?"
"Not really," said Ash, "somehow, I think there's a reason for that."
"Well, maybe," she said. "Do you remember how we fell in love?"
"How could I forget it?" Ash said. "That's a story that never gets old. And the best part is, nobody else can tell it."
"Well, except Derek and Andria."
"Yeah, I suppose."
Misty looked at Ash and sighed. It was not an exasperated sigh, or an impatient sigh. It was more of a relaxed sigh. A happy sigh.
"Fourteen years," she said in amazement. "Can you believe it's been fourteen years since we were married."
"Yes," Ash said, walking over to Misty, both of them now fully dressed (Ash in a red T-shirt and cameo pants, Misty in a purple T-shirt and jeans). "Yes I can."
The two kissed again, more briefly this time, and then walked out of their room and into the dining room, where Jared was already eating breakfast. Ash walked over and ruffled his son's unbelievably messy hair.
"Happy birthday, Jared."
"Thanks," Jared said, grinning his father's boyish grin. "Happy anniversary, you guys."
"Thank you," Misty said, putting some waffles in the toaster.
Lisa then came walking down the stairs in her sleep clothes (pajama pants and an undershirt), yawning. Her hair was messy and, in a way, actually looked better having not been brushed.
"Good morning, sunshine!" Ash said, a small hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Happy birthday!"
"'Morning, daddy," Lisa said, putting some bread in the toaster as Misty took her waffle's out.
"You know, Lisa," Misty said, "I think you actually look best in the morning."
"I have to agree with your mother there," Ash said. "If you ask me, putting make-up on a beautiful face like that is like giving Chuck Norris steroids-neither one needs it."
"Dad, you just want me to stop using make-up, so you don't have to buy anymore."
"Well, yeah, I guess that might be a small reason. But you're still beautiful."
"Sure, dad," Lisa said, smiling as she took her toast out of the toaster.
"And, don't forget," Ash said, sitting down next to Jared. "You and I are leaving for Sinnoh today!"
"Yup," Jared said, a grin spreading across his face. "You've been there before, haven't you? What's it like."
"Well, you'll just have to see when we get there," said Ash. "I can tell you one thing, though: you will not regret going there."
"I never thought I would," said Jared.
"You see," said Misty, sitting down with Lisa next to the two. "this is why I'm glad we're not a television show or movie. If we were, Jared, you would have to hate your father, and think that he was too over-ruling. But you two are like best friends! I love seeing that."
"Uh, thanks…I think," Jared said, looking just as confused as his father. Misty laughed and took a bite of her waffles. She then grimaced, suddenly realizing that she had absent-mindedly put mayonnaise on her waffles instead of syrup.
"Bleck!" She said after she had swallowed. Now it was everyone else's turn to laugh.
"You all knew I had done that, didn't you?" She said.
"I don't know what you're talking about," all three of the others said at the same time.

Anyway, BE SURE TO REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!! Seriously, review! I know we're not the really exciting part yet, but we will be! Don't worry.
