Shinzu: Haha, yes, I remade this one, too! I didn't like the old one, this one is much better, and it'll have a better plot. xD Ash and Misty have two kids, I love Dawn and Paul as a pairing, and....yeah! xD
"I could totally beat you, Ashley," Mike scoffed and flicked his sister on the nose. The little red-head puffed out her cheeks and tried to hit Mike.
"I could beat YOU, big brother!" Ashley shouted and tackled her brother.
Mike shouted in surprise when the hit the floor and landed ontop of a Raichu toy. Ashley rolled off and stood above Mike, hands on her hips and glaring.
"You, my friend, are one strong seven year old!" Mike gasped and put a hand on his side where he hit a Togepi toy. He shouted in surprise again when Ash looked over and laughed.
"And you, my son, are WEAK," he teased and pulled Mike up.
Mike brushed dirt off his side and frowned. "I think she deserves a Machop," he whispered to Ash.
"Machops aren't pretty or cute!" Ashley objected.
Misty sighed from her place in the kitchen. "You guys are insane- definantly from your father's side," she said and placed a few plates on the table.
The rest of the family sniffed the air and quickly appeared at the table. "Hamburgers!" they shouted in unison and chowed down. Misty sighed again and looked at Togetic.
"You should beat them next time," she whispered. Togetic nodded and flew over to her spot with the other Pokemon.
The Ketchum house was filled with all sorts of Pokemon. There were Pichu, a Pikachu, many Water Pokemon, Togetic, Staraptor, and anything you can think Misty and Ash would own. Chimchar- who still hadn't evovled- and a Grotle stood at the back with a Primplup and an Electivire.
"I bet Paul's keeping Dawn busy…" Ash muttered with a full mouth.
Misty twitched, grabbed a rolled up piece of paper and smashed it against Ash's head.
"Not like that!" Ash gasped and swallowed at the same time. "They've gotta be training their Loppuny and Honchcrow or somethin' because they aren't at dinner!"
"No, I think they went to see Drew and May or Tracey," Misty grumbled. "One or the other."
Mike and Ashley looked at eachother then their parents.
"Are we going to get to see May and Drew any time soon?" Mike asked. "I want to see Rose, and I hope Dakota and Riley, oh and Max, are okay!"
At that moment, the door slammed open and there was Paul and Dawn; Dawn looked absolutely…glad?! and Paul looked embarassed or something.
"I won in a Pokemon battle!" Dawn shouted happily. Many of the Pokemon nearby- who could cover their ears- covered their ears and the ones that couldn't almost fell to the floor.
Paul grunted something and walked down to their room in the large house; since Ash was practically famous for winning a few Legues, they could afford a big house. Dawn grinned, showing, that in the long years that passed, she hadn't lost her enthusiasm. A girl with black-purple hair bounced into the house carrying an Elekid and Chimchar in each arm.
"They hatched, they hatched!" Rose shouted happily. "Just after the battle! I was coming here and then they started glowing- oh aren't they cute?! I named Elekid Lectur and Chimchar Flame!"
"So much for a quiet night," Misty muttered. "I can't wait for next week- it'll finally be quiet again!"
That night, once everyone had eaten, they all, except Paul, sat in the large living room with their Pokemon. Mike had three Pichu, a Golduck, and a Tyrogue with him, Rose had Lectur and Flame, Ashley had a Volpix, and the others had their own Pokemon.
"I wanna do a gym battle, but I wanna do contests!" Rose whined. "My Pokemon are just too cute! And they'll be strong, I know it!"
"Do both then," Ash said. "I entered Floatzle and Pikachu into tons of them and still battled in gyms!"
"Wow!" Rose said, awestruck. "I didn't know that you could do that!"
"It's true," Dawn said as she set out a bowl of poffins and Pokeblock.
Loppuny, a giant but beautiful, rabbit; Primplup, a strong-looking penguin; and a very shiny Pachurisu all began to eat the Pokeblock, picking things out that they liked.
"Amazing…" Mike muttered.
He looked down sadly at the three Pichu and knew that he'd only be able to take one. The biggest one had caught his attention; he could last longer then others with his electric shocks, was a lot bigger, and seemed to be the toughest of the group.
"Dad, I think I'm taking this Pichu," Mike continued a few moments later and held up the one he wanted. The other two, girl Pichu, looked down sadly; their ears drooped and they didn't seem to have that happy look. "I'm sorry guys, but I'll be sure to keep coming back to play with you."
Both nodded and then Ash spoke up. "They'll be good here!" he said and pet both Pichu on the head. "And I'm sure you'll be able to play with them!"
"Have you figured out what region you want to start out in?" Misty asked. "Johto, Kanto, Hoenn, or Sinnoh?"
"Sinnoh!" Mike and Rose said in unison.
"So much for Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur," Ash breathed. "Alright! Dawn'll take you two with her when she goes back to be with her mom. We'll have to force Paul to take Mike."
"No you won't," Dawn said. "I mean, they'll be able to come. You just won't have to force Paul."
Rose and Mike's moods suddenly brightened. "Yes!" they cheered happily.
Pichu climbed onto Mike's shoulders and cheered while Flame and Lectur danced about happily.
---
The next day was a very dull day. It was rainy and cloudy and nothing seemed to go right. Mike kept tripping over all of Ashley's Pokemon toys, Rose's Flame kept burnning things and Lectur was electricuting everything.
"Out!" Misty shouted at the two kids when Flame nearly destroyed dinner.
"But why?" Mike asked.
"It's kind of nice to eat!" Misty growled.
Mike knew that at that point, it was time to leave. The two grabbed their Pokemon and ran outside into the rain. Their Pokemon ran around playing while their soon-to-be trainers sat on the swings, swinging back and forth with no effort.
"What did we ever do?" Rose asked. "It's the Pokemon's fault…"
----
Mike, the day he was going to go to Sinnoh with Rose, ran up to Ash. "Dad!" he shouted. "I wanna call Gardinia! Or Roark! Or Fantina!"
"Why?!" Ash shouted back.
"I wanna see how badly you failed!" Mike shouted.
"NO!" Ash said. "I told you- I had to battle each of them like, twice!"
Mike stared blankly. "Yeaaahhhhh," he muttered.
"Mike! Rose!" Dawn called and came down the stairs. "You guys packed yet?"
Rose, who was playing her DS on the couch, shook her head. "Nope," she said. "But I didn't bring much stuff."
"Get up there and pack, Mike!" Misty snapped.
Mike flinched and ran up the stairs as quickly as he could. When he got to his room, he closed and locked the door and threw a bunch of stuff in a pack. There were four Pokeballs, cans of Pokefood, and a book-map thing. He then exchanged his normal clothes for his new clothes that Ash had gotten him; a blue jacket with pale blue sleaves and a black circle on the pocket. Mike had jeans and new sneakers and a new hat.
"You look funny," Ashley laughed.
Mike jumped and turned around. "How the HELL did you get in here?!" he snapped.
Ashley held up a pin with a flatened side. "I'm smarter then you, you know," she laughed and walked down the hall.
Volpix looked into the room and chased after Ashley as she went down the stairs. Mike grumbled things about no privacy and then walked down the hall with his backpack.
Flame and Lectur were now sitting next to Rose, watching her play her game. Dawn had a bunch of packs near the door and was sitting, waiting for Paul.
After much good-byes and…crying? later, Mike, Rose, Paul, and Dawn were walking down to the airport. Mike was talking the whole time, and Paul was getting annoyed. Rose and Dawn found it quite funny.
Paul sighed and took a peanut butter jar out of his pocket.
"How the hell did you get that to fit?!" Mike asked.
The purple-haired man shook his head and pulled out a spoon. A few moments later, he handed the spoon to Mike.
"Eat it," he said.
"Why?" Mike asked. He could hear Dawn and Rose up from giggling like mad.
"I said EAT THE DAMN PEANUT BUTTER!"
Mike, terrified, took the peanut butter and ate some of it. Within a few seconds his mouth was glued shut. "MRUFALHFASDFHAUSFA!!"
"Good boy," Paul muttered and grabbed him by the wrist. He dragged him all the way to the airport and didn't let go until they were on the plain.
By then, the glue was starting to wear off. "Fhanph gwash," Mike had said.
---
Mike and Pichu had their face pressed against the window. They could see the Orange Islands! Near those islands there was a dark figure and a bird circled each of the smaller islands. They saw Hoenn and an all-technology city, and a zillion islands in between. There were regions he hadn't heard of, bird Pokemon flying next to him, and a really cool looking pteredactyl Pokemon.
"What's that Pokemon?" Mike asked as a group of them flew by.
"Those are Dactylpons," Dawn said. "They are very pretty, aren't they? They're one of the new starter Pokemon you can choose from. But this is their last evolutionary form."
Whirldactyls had a very long, beak-like snout. But it wasn't a beak, because it looked very soft. They had two sharp spikes at the back of their head and their skin was blue. Their wings were like a Zubat's but there were hands on it, like a bats, and they had very long, paddle-like tails. The skin between the arm and body was a light purple… and they had gills?!
"Why do they have gills?"
"That's because their water AND flying Pokemon!" Rose said. "I really want one as my starter Pokemon. Ponars have a rounder, shorter snout and only one horn. Their only about the size of a Pikachu! And they're really, really fun and love to dance!"
"Sounds like an Aradactyl," Mike said.
Rose frowned slightly. "People say that Pons and their evolution line are related to the Aradactyls from a loonnnngggggg time ago. But they weren't fossilised or anything."
"Wow… What other starter Pokemon are there?"
"There are Flats and Grevors," Dawn said. "Flats are cats that look like their on fire. They have bright yellow fur along their back, orange fur everywhere else, and a ring of fire around their tail. Grevors are like Bidofs but have green skin and a leaf for a tail."
"They sound so cool!" Mike said.
Pichu agreed.
"Flats sound even better," he muttered and looked out the window again. They were still flying over Hoenn. "What region are Ponars, Gevors, and Flats from?"
"Sinnoh," Rose said.
"What happened to Chimchar, Piplup, and Turtwig?"
"They're still there. We just have six to choose from now."
Mike and Rose each took up two seats when they fell asleep. Dawn and Paul took one each, and their Pokemon took another. It was night-time and they were flying closer and closer to a huge mountain.
---
Tonight was a new moon. Tonight was the night that Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, three pixie-like creatures, came out of their caves. But it is also the night that Darkrai rises from sleep and roams the world for the few days of no moon…
Azelf flipped in a circle and managed to dodge a glowing, purple ball that was thrown at him.
"Stop it!" it yelled at the possesed Darkrai.
Uxie floated nearby, seemingly asleep. Mesprit was hidding behind a rock while watching her friend dodge more and more nightmare balls. Everyone's gaze followed one of the nightmare balls as it gained speed and hit something that was passing by.
---
Mike jerked awake and looked around. Rose, Dawn, and Paul were awake, and so was everyone else on the plane. He looked out his window and saw that one of the plains wings had almost been blasted off.
Ponar, Acyls, and Whirlactyls came by with Starly, Staravia, and Staraptor. Mike then realized that the plain was quickly descending.
"Why are we falling?" Mike asked.
Rose, who had a look of terror on her face, looked out the same window. Pichu pressed his face up against the window and began shouting things. (Pi! Pichu pi!)
"What are all those Pokemon doing?" Rose asked. "Wow! Look at all the Ponars! Aren't they pretty? They're trying to fix the wing!"
Mike looked out again and saw that a few had landed on it. There was a Blaziken next to them, too. The Whirlactyls held the wing in place as Blaziken shot fire and Actyls shot water. When it cooled, the plain leveled and they managed to land at the nearest airport.
"I wonder who did that," Dawn mused as she, and many others, got their stuff.
"Did what?" Mike asked.
"I wonder what shot off the wing of the plane," Dawn said. "Things just don't destroy on their own."
"Unless you're a Voltorb."
"True," Rose said.
Together they walked off the plane with their Pokemon in their arms and walked down the runway. Pichu, suddenly waking up, struggled to get out of his trainer's arms.
"What is it?" Mike asked.
Pichu pointed a finger to the forest next to the city and jumped down when Mike weakened his grip. Rose watched the two run into the forest and then chased after.
"Rose!" Dawn called.
"Rose get back here!" Paul growled.
-
Mike and Rose stopped and panted when Pichu finally stopped. The mouse-Pokemon's ears twitched ever so slightly, and then he was off again. As Mike stepped over a log, something hit him hard in the back and made his faint.
When he woke up again, he was staring into the face of Pichu.
"Chu?" Pichu asked. "Pi?"
"I'm okay," Mike groaned and sat up.
He became fully alert. The bushes, on one side, that surrounded the small clearing he was in shook and a kid with dark red hair rolled out. Mike screamed in surprise, and then the kid did, and then both did at the same time.
The Cranidos that the kid was holding tried to calm the kids down but failed miserably. Her trainer had jumped to his feet and backed up, only to sigh.
"Sorry!" he said and set Cranidos on the ground. "I thought you were Rampardos."
"Who?" Mike asked.
"Crap- you're Mike, aren't you?!" the kid asked.
"Uh….wait, wait, wait! Hold it!" Mike held up a hand when the kid took a step forward. "I asked who the heck Rampardos is, and I want the answer!"
"Okay, just calm down," the kid said. "You'll learn who Rampardos is soon enough. Now, are you Mike?"
"Yes, I am," Mike said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Rock, or Dustin, from Oreburgh city."
"Hn, okay, fine with me." Mike shrugged and streched. "Something hit me on the back a while ago… I wonder where Rose is."
Rock: -Sweatdrop-
"Uh…. Rose is… Uh… Back with Dawn," Rock said. "You both were hit in the back by my Kabutops."
Mike blinked. "Are you a beginer trainer or have you been at it for a while?"
"Been at it for five years- I've been all over Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn, and a few others that you haven't heard of yet," Rock replied. "I'm now starting with Sinnoh, even though I was born here."
"Wow…. Okay, uh, not to be mean or anything…but I need to get back to Dawn and Paul. They're taking me to Sandgem Town."
"Oh, just follow me," Rock said and made his way through the forest.
Pichu jumped onto Mike's shoulder when the trainer followed. After about ten minutes of walking, the forest thinned out and the airport was in view. Dawn and Rose were walking around at the edge of the forest, calling Mike's name.
"How long was I out?" Mike asked.
"Oh, about fourty-five minutes," Rock replied.
"FOURTY-FIVE?!" Mike gasped. "You could've woken me up sooner!!"
"Sorry, but I was trying to excape Rampardos."
Dawn looked up and her Primplup as he looked into the forest and pointed. Lopunny and Pachirisu came over, and Flame happily dance around.
"Roark, Paul, I found them!" Dawn called. "They've been in the forest!"
As Mike and his new friend neared Dawn, two others joined; Paul and the guy apparently named Roark. He looked over at Rock and saw that he was hiding behind Paul and Dawn who were standing next to eachother. Rock pointed, with a trembling finger, towards the Pokemon standing next to Roark and ducked behind the two again.
Paul growled slightly and stepped to the side.
"NO! Dude, wh-wh- NO!" Rock gasped and began to run.
Rampardos leaned forward, getting ready to run, and gave Rock a head start. Mike had to hold his new hat on as the dinosaur ran off to keep it from flying.
"Yeah!" a little girl screamed and ran up, grabbing Roark's hand.
"Not again," Roark sighed.
"What?" Dawn asked.
"Every time Rampardos sees Dustin, he goes crazy and then Rylie goes crazy," Roark replied.
"Why not just keep the thing in its Pokeball?" Paul growled.
"Why would he do that?" Rose asked. "That's not nice!"
"Pokemon shouldn't be kept in a Pokeball all the time!" Rylie, the small girl, said and let go of Roark's hand. "They're people, too!"
"They're just Pokemon," Paul argued, then guessed there was no point in argueing with a five year old.
As the group waited for Rock and Rampardos to come back, they found a table near the forest- it was a picnic place for people who were waiting for a plane. Dawn had made sandwitches- something she didn't bother to tell anyone- and there was so many, everyone could have quite a few.
"I see him!" Rylie said and pointed to two figures coming to them.
Rampardos was walking behind Rock, and every time he stopped moving, he'd head butt him to get him moving.
"You were gone for a long time," Mike noted.
Pichu held up his half- and only- part of a sandwitch and then set it down. He noticed that there was a Cranidos- small for its size- dancing around Rampardos. It seemed excited about something, and he wanted to know what. Pichu jumped off the table and ran towards Rock. The teen suddenly picked the Pokemon up, out of Cranido's path, and kept going.
"Pichu…?" Pichu asked.
"Why does it take so long for him to get back?" Dawn asked Roark.
"Dustin usually tries to fight Rampardos, then runs, and then Rampardos finds him nd brings him back to me," Roark replied. "It's like playing fetch with a Mightyena."
"Must be fun for…" Mike began but trailed off. "Why do I keep forgetting their names?!"
"You'll learn soon enough," Paul growled. "Just finish eating so we can get to Sandgem. It'll only be about half an hour."
"Ohh, you're going to love it here!" Dawn said suddenly. "There are contests, really awesome gymleaders, and it's all just so fun!"
Mike thought for a moment and took Pichu when Rampardos brought back the teen. Pichu giggled quietly and jumped up onto the table, quickly wolfing down his half of a sandwith.
Rock silently, with a blank look, slid down the bench and stopped when he got near Rylie. He continued to sit there with a blank look while eating his part of the sandwitches.
"What's wrong with him?" Mike asked.
Everything was so new to him, and all these new people and Pokemon were starting to freak him out; how was he supposed to remember everything about everyone?
Rylie pushed her very bright, red hair behind her ears and yawned.
"Are you coming with us, Roark?" Mike asked.
"Nah, I've gotta take Rylie back to Oreburgh," Roark said. "But Dustin's going with you." He looked at his son and saw him secretly handing his half-eaten sandwitch to Cranidos. "I'm glad, too; he's been back for a year and has been really lazy…"
Rock twitched.
"I AM NOT LAZY!" he snapped. "I've been battling, and training, and digging, and everything!"
"I think you got him mad," Mike said.
Rylie laughed. "He is," she said. "Whenever 'Pardos is done chasing him, he gets all mad and everything offends him!"
"Heh…" Roark breathed and put a hand on Rock's head. He pushed him down under the table, a sickening thud coming right after. "Okay, I think me and Rylie should leave before we get Dustin mad."
The two waved and left everyone, heading for their home city.
Dawn turned to Mike and smiled.
"You're going to be going with Rose and Dustin, if that's okay with you," she said.
"HIM?" Mike asked and pointed to the empty seat Rock was sitting in a few moments ago.
"He's really nice once he, and you, get to know eachother," Dawn said. "He already knows Rose, so it's just you now. Don't worry, it'll work out."
Mike frowned and muttered things to himself as he took the last sandwitch and wolfed it down.
Within a half hour, noon had passed and they were heading off towards Sandgem Town, the town that Mike would get his Pokedex and learn a little bit more about what he was going up against.
Paul and Dawn were in the front while Mike and Rose were behind, and Rock came in last, looking like he was forcing himself along.
"He needs motovation," Mike breathed. "He looks so…depressed."
"I am," Rock said, speaking up for the first time since Roark left. "I'd say something really mean about Rampardos, but I know it'll backfire once Cranidos evolves…"
