Chapter 1: Pokémon Unknown
Hey, glad to be on my first fanfic! Just…please don't kill me
If I make a mistake just tell me and I'll make it better!... And I dedicate this chapter to my sister, Kara Winter Wolf who helped me out a ton. Anyways, enjoy the story!
P.S Please review!
Well well well…isn't this a familiar scene! It looks like Ash, Brock and Misty are lost in the forest. Again. And there're fighting about who got them lost. As usual. And Brock's trying to stop them. Like always.
"Ash Ketchum, you got us lost again!"Misty yelled, throwing her fists back and glaring at Ash.
"Me…? Me!? You were the one who wanted to see if you could catch any water Pokémon in this stream! "Ash shouted back angrily.
"Guys, guys, maybe if you weren't so busy fighting; we might've found the city already."Brock said, trying to calm the two down, but with no such luck.
Ash and Misty turned to him ready to make an angry retort, when suddenly, a bright light shone through the trees, interrupting their argument.
"What was that!?" Misty shrieked backing up into a tree fearfully
A cry they barely heard came to them. "Awesome, I bet it's a new Pokémon!" Ash exclaimed, forgetting all about the argument and to where the sound was coming from. He and Misty ran through the trees ahead of Brock, who paused only long enough to murmur, "I've never seen a Pokémon do that before."
They arrived, a couple minutes later, in a clearing where a small, blue, creature waddled on the other side. It had seaweed-looking extensions with balls at the end; much like a winter hat, coming out of a rounded triangular head. Oar-like arms and a little red…button completed the picture. Ash immediately took out his Pokedex and pointed it at the strange Pokémon. The Pokedex beeped loudly before saying Pokémon: Unknown "Alright, I'm gonna catch it!" Ash said gleefully.
"Manaphy!" it cried, very obviously disturbed by the loud noise.
"Hmm…that must be its name." Ash said
Misty looked at him fearfully, "Careful Ash! It could be dangerous! Remember the light!?" Ash looked back and winked at Misty. "Don't worry; I got this. Pikachu, Thunder shock!" He said, pointing at the Pokémon.
A determined Pikachu leapt into the air and directed a very powerful blast of pure energy at…nothing? The clearing was silent for a moment.
"What?!" Ash said before the Manaphy reappeared and seemingly floated in slow motion in front of a stunned Pikachu and touched his head.
"Chuuu!" Pikachu cried in pain before collapsing hard to the ground, unconscious.
"Pikachu!" Ash yelled desperately, but before he could do anything, Manaphy waddled across the clearing faster than Ash would have thought possible, jumped and placed its arm on his forehead.
Brock and Misty watched in horror, to stunned to move as their friend fell to his knees still trying stubbornly to reach Pikachu. Gotta… reach Pikachu! He thought as his vision started to fade in and out. Just a few more feet… "Ash!" Brock and Misty were suddenly unfrozen, just as Ash collapsed, one arm holding Pikachu protectively.
"Uhhgg" Ash groaned, not fully awake.
"Ash!" Someone yelled, just as he heard Brock and Misty rushing toward him hastily.
Ash grinned, eyes still closed. "Heh. So you do care about me." Ash said jokingly.
"Ash, that's not funny. You've been out for over an hour! And how are you doing that? Say something!" Misty exclaimed sounding scared.
"Something." Ash grinned some more and finally opened his eyes. He frowned, blinked, rubbed his eyes, and repeated, unable to grasp what he was seeing. "Why are you guys so big?" He finally asked.
Misty gasped as if she just figured something out (A/N which she actually just did. :), and then scrambled away.
"What is it, Misty?" Brock asked curiously.
"Brock, look at Pikachu."
"Hmmm?" he said the same time Ash cried "What, is he hurt badly?", and instantly sat up, turned to where Pikachu usually slept, to see not his old friend but… himself. He was still trying to register this when he saw his own eyes and mouth open, but not his language come out.
"P-P-Pikachu?" he said
Whew! That took a while! Of course, you more experienced fanfic writers would call it a breeze and make it better, but as I'm a newbie it's pretty hard. Anyways its 12:00 so I'm signing off for tonight.
Goodnight!
