-Insert Season 1 Opening Here-
Two figures with white uniforms with an 'R' plastered on the front were hiding behind a tree with a cat pokemon on its hind legs.
"Let's go capture that twerp's pikachu!" exclaimed the girl with oddly shaped magenta hair.
"Roger!" said the boy next to him. He had shoulder-length blue hair.
A group of three kids had just passed them, not seeing them behind the tree. The three of them emerged out of the woods and into the path. A hole suddenly opened below them, and they fell into it.
"Not again!" the three yelled.
***FANFARE MUSIC***
"A MIX-UP FIX-UP!" yelled a shrill, high-pitched voice.
***FANFARE MUSIC ENDS***
Two figures, slightly more sinister than the ones before, were working on some sort of machine. They were inside of an abandoned lab. Their outfits were just like the people from earlier, except they were black.
"Exactly what do we expect to accomplish with this?" the green-haired guy asked.
"Well, Butch, if we're lucky, we might be able to get some rare pokemon," answered the blonde girl.
"How exactly, Cassidy?" Butch questioned.
"Well, if we do this right, portals should open up in random parts of this world," Cassidy began. "If we're lucky, some rare pokemon from other regions, maybe even dimensions, might appear in range."
"But how would we know which ones get sucked into specific portals?" Butch asked again.
"That's what these tracking devices are for," Cassidy said, as if the answer was obvious. "Travelling via portal can be taxing on the mind and body, so by then, we'll be able to get to any location around here where a pokemon may have landed."
"But what if a trainer gets sucked into one?" Butch asked.
Cassidy seemed vaguely annoyed. "Any moron who would randomly go into a portal doesn't value life. Besides, who cares about them, anyway?"
Butch looked like he would ask yet another question, but then he stopped himself. Cassidy had a point there.
"Press that button on your left," she commanded.
The green-haired boy pressed a button as Cassidy looked at the screen above.
Two portals suddenly appeared in front of a brunette spiky-haired boy on a golduck and four others on a huge, leviathan-like pokemon, who were surfing five people at sea.
"Gyarados!" yelled a boy with a hat and black hair.
Both the gyarados and the other pokemon tried to swim away from the portals, but it was no use. The portals were really dragging them in. The people on the gyarados (except for the black-haired guy with the hat, who was now holding a pokeball) held on to each other as the two pokemon were promptly recalled. None of them wanted their pokemon to be sucked into some unknown place alone. Somehow, the portals had managed to force them to loosen their grips on each other. A small person with a straw hat (which was being held on to) and the brown-haired boy got sucked into the portal to the left, while the other three got sucked into the second one.
Two black dots appeared in the middle of some islands.
"Perfect," Cassidy said.
The duo quickly ran out of the lab, and headed to their first destination.
A tanned man with black hair was waving good-bye at two others as he stood besides a purple-haired professor. One of them was holding a ball that was silver and golden in color.
"Goodbye Brock!" they both said.
"Bye Ash, Misty!" Brock said.
The two of them left the lab, leaving Brock and the professor alone. The redhead holding a light yellow baby pokemon encased in a decorative eggshell asked, "You think it'll work out? Between those two, I mean."
The one with the messy black hair simply laughed, when suddenly, laughter echoed around them. Ash and Misty whirled around on instinct. "Show yourselves!" Ash yelled, before two people showed up in front of them excitedly. They were wearing rubber gloves for some reason. When they saw Ash and Misty, their expressions seemed to go from gleeful to disappointed.
"Oh, it's only you two. Well, prepare for trouble," the blonde girl said.
"And make it double," said a green-haired guy in a gruff voice.
"To infect the world with devastation!"
"To blight all peoples within every nation!"
"To denounce the goodness of truth and love!"
"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"
"Cassidy!"
"Butch!"
"We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night!"
"Surrender to us now or you'll surely lose the fight!"
A bipedal rat pokemon suddenly appeared in the middle of them. "Raticate!"
"It's Cassidy!" Ash yelled.
"And Biff!" Misty finished.
"It's BUTCH!" he yelled. "Primeape, go!" He sent out a pig-monkey pokemon.
"Raticate!" Cassidy said, pointing to Ash and Misty. "Tackle!"
"Pikachu, use quick attack!" Ash yelled.
The two of them charged at each other head-first. When their faces collided, there was an explosion. The four of them braced themselves. By the time the smoke had cleared, Misty had immediately sent out a staryu.
"Water gun!" she yelled.
The staryu unleashed a water gun from one of its edges and aimed it at Butch's primeape, who tumbled on the floor a few times before getting back up. It then withdrew its fist and aimed it at a spinning staryu. There was yet another explosion.
"Nothing here, let's go, Butch," Cassidy said.
As the smoke cleared, the two team rocket members were gone...and so was pikachu!
"Pikachu? Pikachu! Where are you?" Ash yelled.
Misty walked in front of him as she returned her staryu. "Pika-pal, where are you?"
In a forest clearing, a boy with a black shirt, a red jacket, and black pants was lying on the ground with a pikachu. Next to him was a brunette girl with a black blouse, dress, and boots. They struggled to get up as the boy tried to remember where he was before. The last thing he remembered was riding on sea with his friends before two portals opened up; everything after that was a blur. All of a sudden, they heard footsteps. They just barely managed to get up as two people ran towards them. The girl was in shock; one looked similar to her friend, and the other was Misty, the Cerulean City gym leader.
The boy pointed vehemently at them.
"Team Rocket! Give me back my pikachu!" he yelled.
"Team Rocket?" the girl asked, confused. "We defeated them a while back. They can't be back already."
Red approached Misty excitedly. "Hey, Misty! How's my krabby doing? Gyara's doing just fine! Hey, where'd you get that pokemon from?"
Misty stepped back a few inches from Red.
"Hey, Misty, your hair..." Red began, before Misty started yelling at him.
"What's wrong with my hair?" she yelled.
"Toge-toge-piii!" chirped the pokemon in her arms.
"It's just, I remember it looking a bit...different," he said obliviously.
"Hey, just because she doesn't wear her hair like her sisters doesn't mean she's not sensational! Now give it back!" the stranger yelled, getting back on the topic of Pika.
"Aww, young love," the girl said, flustering both Ash and Misty. "Anyway, Pika here belongs to Red."
"I'm not falling for your disguises again, Team Rocket!" the stranger yelled out, snapping from his trance. "Do you really think I wouldn't recognize myself? Nice try, but you look nothing like me!"
Pika slowly approached Misty and the boy next to him. It seemed to be sniffing them.
"Pikachu! You're safe!" the boy yelled. Pika looked at him oddly.
"Who is this guy?" the girl whispered to Red.
"I don't know, Blue," he replied.
"It's me, Ash! Your best pal!" Ash said calmly.
Red looked like he was ready to return Pika, but then Blue scooped it up.
"Give it back!" Ash repeated.
His two opponents looked confused as they each threw a pokeball in the air. Red appeared to have sprouted purple wings, while a round, pink balloon seemed to have expanded itself under Blue. Ash and Misty looked absolutely mortified as they flew away, with Pika still in Blue's arms.
"IT'S JIGGLYPUFF!" they both yelled. Red thought he heard fear in both of their voices.
Blue looked perplexed, as did her jigglypuff; why did they need to shout that out? Something was not right with Misty...
Ash quickly climbed up a tree. "I...won't let you get away with this, Team Rocket!" he declared as he reached the top. He then jumped off towards them, causing Blue to giggle.
"Ash!" yelled Misty.
"Does he really think he can reach us from there?" Blue said between fits of laughter. She stopped laughing when the boy seemed to hover towards Red with his arms spread apart. Somehow, he had managed to reach him, and then grab his legs.
"Give it back, you thief!" he yelled.
Blue hovered towards the two of them with her jigglypuff, and Ash yelled, "NO, JIGGLYPUFF, PLEASE DON'T SING!"
Unfortunately, in doing so, he released his grip on Red and fell over. He flailed about and waited until he nearly crashed to send out his charizard. Misty plopped herself on it, adjusting herself behind Ash.
"That settles that, I guess," Red said sheepishly.
"We'll be going now. Bye!" Blue added, before they flew off.
"Charizard, after those thieves!" Ash yelled, and it flew after the supposed thieves.
Meanwhile, the bumbling trio from the beginning of this story were heading towards a lab. The magenta-haired female looked towards a window.
"It's the big twerp with some other person," the girl stated.
"Yes, but where are the other two, Jessie?" the blue-haired boy asked.
"HOW SHOULD I KNOW!" Jessie yelled, before they heard groans from behind the lab.
"What was that, James?" she asked.
"Let's go check it out!" Meowth said, as the three ran at the back of the building. They saw three people collapsed on the ground. One person was holding on to his huge straw hat, and the others were struggling to get up. They did not seem to notice the trio standing over them.
"I wonder if that kid is hiding pokemon in his hat," Meowth said.
"I have a better idea," Jessie said, taking out a bazooka. A huge net shot out of it, trapping the three of them into it.
Now the victims were fully alert, though they still seemed to be struggling.
"What's going on?" asked the guy with the dressy outfit.
The three of them stood closer to them.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie chanted.
"Make it double!" James continued.
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To-"
"You want to 'protect the world from devastation', yet you have us all tied up for no apparent reason?" the guy spoke.
Just then, the boy with the purple shirt and black pants rolled a pokeball through the net.
"You're surrendering now?" Jessie asked. "Looks like we didn't even have to get it through your head."
The pokeball suddenly opened and a large, light green praying mantis pokemon emerged from the ball and vanished, leaving only a scratch on each of them. This caused them to jump around in pain. While they were busy, the pokemon cut the nets, freeing the three of them from its grasp.
"Bill, Green, let's show them," said the one with the straw hat.
"You won't even get a chance! Weezing, go!" yelled James.
"Go, Arbok!" yelled Jessie.
The three of them threw pokeballs in the air, and three pokemon came out. An orange fish splashed on meowth's head repeatedly, a multicolored butterfly fluttered in the air and sent spores at the two opposing pokemon to put them to sleep, and a dragon-like pokemon spewed flames from its mouth at them. They were quickly defeated as meowth was still struggling to get the magikarp off of his head. Green thought he heard the meowth talk, but ignored it; he figured his mind was playing tricks on him after having been sucked into that portal.
"I will only ask this once. Leave," he commanded.
"I still have one more left!" Jessie yelled, sending out a huge pink pokemon with a long tongue.
"As do I," added James, as he sent out a large venus flytrap-like pokemon, which began to...eat him. "Don't get me, get them!"
Without thinking, their opponents stopped what they were doing for a brief second and rushed to James. Green pulled on the pokemon, with Bill and the other kid on either side.
"Hurry! If that victreebel swallows him whole, the acid in its stomach will melt him!" Bill exclaimed.
Victreebel eventually let go of James, who looked unharmed. In fact, right after he was freed, he yelled, "Use vine whip!"
The three of them jumped back from the attack, narrowly dodging it. Green looked like he was about to issue a command, but the person with the straw hat stopped him.
"What is it, Yellow?" Green asked.
"I'll handle this," Yellow said, as her butterfree fluttered its wings in front of her. Green recalled his scyther and charizard and said, "Very well. Show me what you've learned from our training."
Yellow focused on the lickitung and victreebel. "Kitty, psybeam!" she announced.
Kitty released a rainbow beam of light at lickitung. It didn't defeat the larger pokemon, but did a lot of damage to it.
"Lickitung, lick that pest dry!" Jessie yelled, but instead of doing what she said, it was hitting itself with its tongue. Eventually, it wrapped its tongue around its body, rendering itself immobile.
"Victreebel, razor leaf!" James yelled, and it sent a sharp flurry of leaves at Kitty while hovering, for some reason. It was able to avoid all of the leaves, eventually tiring out the victreebel.
"Stun spore!" Yellow commanded, as her pokemon fluttered its wings and released yellow pores at victreebel, stunning it.
Kitty used its psybeam attack again, this time on both lickitung and victreebel, sending them flying towards the three. Bill quickly recalled his magikarp as the collision sent them flying towards the sky.
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" the three of them yelled.
They went higher and higher until a star seemed to appear in their place. Green shook his head; he was positive he heard a chorus of three voices. He ignored it yet again. It wasn't like he would see them again, anyway.
"That was Team Rocket?" Yellow asked, interrupting his train of thought. "I thought you all defeated them."
"They must be wannabes, most likely looking to get their fifteen minutes of fame by trying to revive the organization," Green cut in.
"That seems very likely," Bill agreed.
"Well, that was a complete waste of our time," Green said. "Let's go." They headed towards the forest clearing, when a voice suddenly called out to them.
"Gary!" he yelled. The three looked to see Brock, the Pewter City gym leader. He seemed different somehow, but Green couldn't place his finger on it. "What are you doing here?"
Bill was going to say that a portal sucked the three of them in this location, but decided against it.
"Where are all of your lovely cheerleaders?" Brock asked.
Green looked confused. What was he talking about?
Brock continued on, with Green not really listening. "...their beauty as endless as the beautiful blue-"
His speech was sharply interrupted. "BLUE? She's not a cheerleader of mine, just a pesky girl is-"
"Something's not right here," Bill said. "Brock is not acting himself, and there seem to be no other signs of life here. Where could we have landed?"
"Hey, I remember you!" Brock said, addressing Bill. "You were trapped in that kabuto costume for hours!"
Bill looked shocked as Yellow and Green glanced at him. He was actually merged with a rattata, not trapped in a kabuto costume. Still, Brock seemed to know at least one thing that he shouldn't have. Bill slowly walked in the direction that Brock came from.
"Where are you going?" Yellow asked.
"I have to investigate," Bill responded, stopping in his tracks for a bit. "Something's not right here. I'll stay behind with Professor Hive, if that's okay with you."
"It's Professor Ivy," Brock corrected, though Bill didn't seem to care. "I'll go with these two, if you're going to investigate whatever it is you're going to investigate."
Bill continued to walk towards the lab, leaving Brock with Green and Yellow.
"I guess we'll take him," Green said. "Even if he is...different."
"Right on!" Brock yelled out. "Now, my friends shouldn't be far from here. Let's go!"
Brock led the way to through the forest clearing, with the two dex holders following him.
Blue turned around to see Ash and Misty chasing them on his charizard. She was surprised to see some random kid with a charizard, and she could tell Red was too. The only person they knew with a charizard was their friend, Green. They didn't have time to be surprised as Ash was hot on their trail. Blue mentally slapped herself for the pun.
"You're still at it?" Blue asked, though there was a hint of amusement in her voice.
Charizard was mindlessly aiming flamethrowers at them, missing each time. Whichever ones they couldn't avoid, Pika's thunderbolt collided with.
"Flamethrower didn't work, use FIRE BLAST!" Ash yelled.
His charizard aimed a five-pointed flame attack at them as Blue sent out an abra. Just before the attack could hit them, they all vanished.
"Where'd they go?" Ash asked, as he and Misty looked around. Suddenly, they heard screams coming from a distance. They flew towards the place where the screams came from, and saw Butch and Cassidy running around, backs ignited, probably from the fire blast attack. Despite this, Cassidy still held pikachu in her arms. Pikachu was trying hopelessly to electrocute them, but nothing happened. Charizard landed, and both of them got off of it.
"Thanks, Charizard, return!" Ash commanded, recalling it, before glaring at the villains.
"Those kids were telling the truth after all," Misty said, shocked.
"You!" Ash yelled, pointing at the two. "Give back Pikachu!"
"You don't actually expect me to do that, do you?" Cassidy asked mockingly. "Raticate, tackle!"
Red and Blue reappeared from behind a tree. Abra, jigglypuff, and aerodactyl were immediately returned.
"Let's see how they battle," Red said to Blue, who merely nodded.
Ash threw another pokeball and sent out a light blue turtle. "I choose you, Squirtle!"
Blue couldn't hide her shock this time; how had he obtained both a charmander and a squirtle? She was the only person, to her (admittedly limited) knowledge, who had a squirtle.
"You use tackle too!" he commanded.
The two of them seemed to execute their attacks at the same time, even though Cassidy had a five second advantage. There was an explosion as their heads collided. Squirtle and raticate were locked in a stalemate, probably waiting for their trainers to give commands.
"Take down!" Cassidy called out.
Her raticate was charging at its opponent as its trainer yelled, "Skull Bash!"
Once again, their attacks both collided, resulting in another explosion. By the time it cleared, the water type starter spit out a stream of water from its mouth at raticate, taking it down. Butch sent out his primeape and commanded a mega punch. At the same time, Misty's starmie executed a rapid spin attack. During the expected explosion, Cassidy sent out her drowzee.
"Squirtle, use hydro pump, NOW!" Ash yelled.
Squirtle retracted its limbs into its shell and sent jets of water from each of its four holes. Cassidy just stood there. Ash had a grin on his face as his squirtle was getting ready to ram into it, until...
"Teleport!" Cassidy commanded.
Drowzee teleported out of the way of squirtle, who rammed into primeape, who was still in a deadlock with starmie.
Meanwhile, Red's eyes widened as Blue checked her pokedex. Drowzee couldn't learn teleport at all, so why had it just done that? It was impossible.
"Red, they really need our help," Blue began. "Look at them struggling with those clowns!"
Red said nothing in response to her.
Drowzee reappeared behind squirtle and mega punched it. It stumbled across the ground as the drowzee teleported back to Cassidy's side.
"Squirtle!" Ash yelled, though his squirtle didn't seem to be harmed that much by the attack.
"Metronome!" Cassidy commanded.
Drowzee waved its arms like a pendulum as a light blue aura appeared around its hands. Togepi jumped off of Misty's arms and did the exact same thing. It seemed to be having way too much fun. Suddenly, Cassidy's pokemon began to charge at squirtle as togepi charged a huge beam of light at it. It hit the drowzee, stopping whatever attack it was doing. The beam did not stop, though. It got bigger and bigger as it was heading towards Cassidy and Butch. Cassidy momentarily let go of pikachu in fear.
"PIKACHU, DODGE IT!" Ash yelled.
Pikachu jumped into the air before either Cassidy or Butch could grab it again, avoiding the beam and landing on Ash's shoulder somehow. The duo and their pokemon all blasted off into the sky, not even getting a chance to speak. Red and Blue exchanged looks, those two couldn't possibly be alive after that.
"Ash, Misty!" a voice called. They both turned around to see Brock with Green and Yellow.
"Brock? Why's Gary here?" Ash asked bitterly.
"Why does everyone call me that?" Green asked.
"Where are-" Ash began, before Green interrupted with, "My cheerleaders, right? Let's make one thing clear once and for all. I am not Gary, my name's Green."
"I'm Yellow," said the smallest group member.
"My name's Ash Ketchum, and I'm gonna be the greatest Pokemon Master!" Ash yelled. "That's Misty, and Brock."
Red and Blue came from behind the tree, with Pika still in Blue's arms. Blue couldn't hold back her laughter, so Red introduced the both of them. "I'm Red, this is Blue."
"Hey, why aren't you at Professor Ivy's?" Misty asked.
"Bill had to go investigate something with her, so I've decided to come along with you all," Brock said. "The more the merrier!"
"What's so funny?" Ash asked Blue, getting off topic.
"Nothing," she said, struggling more than ever to hold back. "It's just-well, you say you're going to be the best, but you only beat those buffoons by a random stroke of luck by Misty. You shouldn't have even struggled with them. Priceless!" She laughed harder than ever as she approached Green. "Greeny! You should have seen their battle against these two Team Rocket wannabes!"
"First off, don't call me Greeny," Green said sharply. "Second, we also fought some wannabes, only these ones had a meowth."
"They make me so mad!" Ash yelled randomly.
"What do you say we all travel together?" Brock offered.
"Exactly what would that accomplish?" Green asked. "We're not here to babysit."
"Well, I was thinking Ash could get his Orange Islands badges, while we all just sit and watch," Misty said. "And if we're lucky, we might figure out the GS Ball, but maybe not."
The dex holders looked at each other. So this place was called the Orange Islands. Red and Yellow looked uninterested, Green looked irritated, and Blue looked gleeful (though Green was sure she was up to something).
"What are you up to?" Green asked.
"You'll just have to wait and see!" replied Blue with a wink.
Blue was thinking of competing for badges herself. She had never heard of the Orange Islands before, so this must have been a new region or something. When she got back home, she would sell them to unsuspecting trainers for money.
Blue was sure there would be no other badges like these back at Kanto.
"Hey, you coming or not?" Misty asked.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Blue said, suddenly filled with energy. They all walked around, letting Ash lead them to wherever he was planning to take them.
