Prologue
Meowth walked by himself, Meowzie had turned him down even after he learned how to speak human and walk like a human, she even called him a freak.
He walked down the road from the city and wondered what he should do now but he thought he had heard rumours of a place that could take him in. He was still walking when he saw a crackling portal opened up and a human, a young human at that, fell out, Meowth walked up to him, sniffed him and thought, 'He smells alright but he looks like he got roughed up badly.'
As the portal closed Meowth looked around and said, "I can't leave him like this," and he pulled the boy into the forest.
The boy was unconscious and Meowth frowned as he walked off but something happened, he looked at the unconscious boy and sighed, "I'm such a big softie," he muttered and crawled between the boy's arm and stomach and fell asleep.
When Meowth woke up he saw that the boy still asleep and frowned, he needed to get them some grub and he got out of the boy's grip and ran off, he smiled as he saw some Oran berries and picked a whole lot of them, he wondered, 'Can humans eat this stuff? Eh,' he thought, 'I have seen humans eating Oran ices, so yeah.'
He heard some pidgeys chirp at him and he said, "Youse get away these berries, I need them, got my human to feed and there's Pecha berries over there too, wait, I might need them too," and ran past them and grabbed the berries and avoided several gusts.
Meowth ran back to the clearing and saw the boy stirring, he put the pile of berries next to him and he bit into the Oran berry and nodded because it tasted good. The boy woke up and Meowth noticed that he had blue shining eyes.
The boy looked confused and said, "You're a kitty?"
"I'm a Meowth," he said, "A Pokemon, you know what that is?"
"Ummm, no," Andrew said softly, "Sorry."
"Here you go, some good berries," Meowth said as he held up a blue berry to the boy.
The boy ate the berries and said, "Umm, wow, it's good. Wait, it's not poisonous, is it?"
"I wouldn't do that to ya," Meowth said and as they ate the berries the boy scratched Meowth's ears.
"I'm Andrew Wells; I came from Sunnydale but I fell through a portal and, umm, I guess not home anymore."
Meowth looked at him and said, "Youse want to travel together? I guess it wouldn't be right to let you walk off alone."
"Sure," Andrew said, "Are there people like me living here?"
"Yeah, there's people like you," Meowth said, "You're in Kanto right now, I guess we could go to, umm, yeah, Pallet town's close by."
Andrew smiled and he suddenly picked up Meowth and said, "I can carry you, right?"
Meowth purred and Andrew said, "So, can other, umm, Pokemon talk?"
"Nah, they can't," Meowth said, "I'm special and don't ya forget it Andrew."
The two walked together through the forested path and Andrew saw other creatures and he even found an white and red ball, Meowth told him that it was called a pokeball, trainers would fight and capture these pokemon and form bonds with them and train them, Andrew thought it sounded horrible to him but Meowth said that some of them honestly enjoyed it.
Meowth saw a small wormlike creature crawl and said, "See, dat there is a Weedle."
Andrew looked at it and said, "Wow," and saw that it was trying to get some leaves, Andrew pulled the branch down and the Weedle gratefully ate the leaves.
As they left, Andrew said, "So a Weedle, huh?"
"Yeah, they evolve into Kakuna then to a Beedrill," Meowth said, "But Beedrill's mean business."
"Evolve?" Andrew said, "Umm, wow, doesn't that take millions of years or something?"
Meowth shrugged and explained the process, Andrew shrugged, 'Maybe I'll see it for myself sometime but for now I have to find out where I am.'
As they walked out of the forest Andrew saw a beautiful town, he picked Meowth up and they walked together to the town.
Sometime later.
'That Professor guy was nice,' Andrew thought as he left Pallet, the man gave him some sort of machine that would help him identify the Pokemon and these tiny ball devices to capture them.
Even though Andrew got a pokeball for Meowth he refused to use it and Meowth purred, though Professor Oak tried to get him to give Meowth up but Andrew didn't want to do that because he wanted to keep his friend, Professor Oak just wanted the talking Meowth.
"So," Andrew said as they walked up a route, "Where do you want to go Meowth?"
"Really? Ya want my opinion?" Meowth said, "But hey, we'll be at the Pokemon centre in Viridian city, they have brochures there, then we could go west to Johto, south to Hoenn or north to Sinnoh, or even to Unova or Kalos?"
"Hmmm, they all sound good," Andrew said, "But what about Kanto? Why don't we explore this area first? We should get some information on these other places first, right? And we need money as well, right?"
Meowth nodded, Andrew frowned and said, "Meowth do you want to become my pokemon? I promise you won't have to battle that much if you don't wanna, I just want a friend."
"You got yourself a deal," Meowth said, "Best friends to da the end."
Two weeks later.
"Meowth," Andrew yelled, "Use Bite," as they barely avoided an attack from the poisonous pokemon.
Andrew pulled out his machine, the Pokedex, and pointed it at the pokemon as Meowth avoided the large horn on its head and bit one of its ears.
"Nidoran, male: its large ears are always kept upright. If it senses danger it will attack with a poisonous sting."
Andrew winced as the Nidoran used double kick on Meowth and Andrew yelled, "Meowth, you alright buddy?"
"Yeah boss," Meowth hissed, "Now let's capture this guy."
"Yeah," Andrew said as he held up one of the Pokeballs he had gotten and threw it as hard as he could.
The pokeball turned the Nidoran into energy and captured it, Andrew watched carefully as the pokeball bounced around for a few seconds and then went still.
As Andrew heard the capture signal he walked up and picked up the ball and said, "Nidoran, I choose you."
Nidoran looked at Andrew and started to talk, Andrew frowned and said, "Meowth, what's it saying?"
"Nothing much," Meowth said, "Just saying that it just wants you to know that it has expensive tastes so don't go cheap on it."
Andrew stroked it' and said, "I'm gonna call you Neko, that sound good?"
It nodded and Andrew frowned as the Pokedex said, "Nidoran's attacks are: Double Kick, Poison Sting, Horn attack and Toxic spikes."
Andrew sat down and sighed as he gave Meowth some potions and a pecha berry just to make sure he was alright.
Meowth sighed and said, "Boss, we need to get more Pokemon and since we're near Mt Moon we could maybe get a Clefairy? I know they live around there."
Andrew stretched and said, "I only got you two so, umm, yeah," he stroked Neko.
As they looked Andrew realized that the sun was setting so he began to set up camp, Meowth carried some dry wood for Andrew and they started a fire. Andrew sighed as he started the fire with the wood Meowth brought him and he cooked some of the food he had been given by some nice people, 'The people here are so nice.' He opened some pokemon food and poured it into a bowl for Meowth and gave Neko the same food.
They ate and Meowth snuggled up to Andrew, his buddy at first, yeah he wanted to help Andrew out and he was only going to stay with Andrew for a bit but now he couldn't leave Andrew alone now, Andrew cared for him, no one has ever done that for him.
After they had left Pallet Town Meowth had gotten poisoned by some creepy bug catcher's Beedrill, Andrew ended the fight and took him to the pokemon centre where he stayed by Meowth's side and they were pals.
Andrew picked up the Nidoran who smiled at him and he sighed and said, "So Meowth, you want to try this pokemon gym thing?"
Meowth nodded and said, "Yeah boss, it could be fun but we need a better team because with just me and Neko here, we aren't a balanced team."
"Hmmmm, okay, so you're a normal type, right? Andrew asked, "Neko is a poison type and," Andrew picked the Pokedex up and pointed it at Neko and said, "Okay, it evolves to Nidorino then I need a moon stone for it to evolve into a Nidoking, cool."
"Tomorrow," Andrew said, "We'll go to Mount Moon and check out the Clefairy and maybe we should go to one of those other regions, which sounds better?"
"Hmmm, we should stay in Kanto, Andrew," Meowth said, "Then we could go to one of them other regions, maybe Unova boss?"
Andrew nodded and said, "Good, let's go explore the world."
