Chapter 1: the meeting

We join our friends Ash, Misty, Brock, May and Max continuing their Pokémon journey. "Ah, it has been a while since we have been in Johto." Ash replied. "Yeah it sure is." Misty and Brock said at the same time. May and Max sat down and complained, "We are so tired. Can't we take a break?" May asked. "Yeah and I'm hungry." Max complained. Brock sat down and said, "Ok we will take a break and I can start making lunch." All their stomachs started to growl. "Man I'm so hungry." Ash replied. Misty laughed and said, "Well apparently some things never change." Everyone started to laugh. About an hour later everyone was chowing down on lunch. Although it was about supper time it was a late lunch. Ash and misty where sitting next to each other. When they saw that there was only one hamburger left they both went after it. It was only after a few seconds that they realized they were touching each other. Everyone else "oooed" at this. Ash and Misty immediately blushed a deep red. "Well I'm sure beat I'll head off to bed." Ash. "Me too." Misty replied. After another hour everyone was fast asleep.

Up on a hill a little ways away Team rocket was spying on our friends. "While the twerps are all catching some z's, we will be catching some Pokémon." Jessie and James both said. All of a sudden their faces were scratched by furry swipes. "Quit clowning around! We have Pokémon to steal." Meowth said.

Back at the camp site everyone was sound asleep and dreaming peacefully. Well, all except for Ash he was having a nightmare. In Ash's dream he was seeing a horrible battle being waged people and Pokémon dying. "What is going on around here?" Ash yelled. Suddenly the scenery changed. He was now floating in the sky to the point where he could see every single region in the world. All of a sudden the regions were destroyed by a massive explosion. "NO!!!!!" Ash yelled terrified. "This is what will happen if you do not accept the challenge you will soon face." A strange disembodied voice said. "Wait come back! What challenge tell me!" Ash yelled.

He woke up in a cold sweat. "What were am I? Oh It was just a dream." He told himself. He saw that everyone was still asleep. Careful not to wake anyone got dressed and went outside. When he got outside he saw it was early morning. The ground was covered in a light mist. Ash went and sat down by the fire pit. The words that the voice had said still echoed in his mind: this is what will happen if you do not accept the challenge you will soon face.Ash was very shaken about the message. Man what did that voice mean? Gah! It is going to drive me nuts if I don't figure out what it is! Ash thought.

"I see you have something troubling you?" someone had said. Ash turned around to see an old friend. (sorry about this Evan I wasn't sure if you wanted to be in it but I need you as a key character in the story.) "Evan! It's good to see you. But I thought you went to travel around the world. Why are you here?" Ash asked Evan came and sat down by him and explained his story.

"Oh so that's why you are here." Ash said, now understanding his friend. "So have you confessed your feelings to Misty since the last time we met, or haven't found the courage to?" Evan asked. Ash looked back at him surprised. "how do you know of my feelings towards Misty?" Ash asked him. Evan chuckled a bit before replying. "Oh come on dude I saw the way you look at her. Besides all of your other friends know about it too. They just haven't told you." Ash sighed in defeat. "Okay I haven't told her yet." He said. "Well you better do it soon or you might never get the chance." Evan warned. He then changed the subject. "So what was bugging you so much earlier?" he asked. Just as Ash was about to start a huge explosion was seen close to the camp. Through the smoke a robotic hand shot out and grabbed Pikachu off of Ash's shoulder. "No Pikachu!" Ash yelled. "Who are they?"

Evan asked getting back on his feet. "Prepare for trouble! Yes and make it double. To protect the world from devastation. To unite all people within our nation. To denounce the evil of truth and love. To extend our reaches above. Jessie! James! Meowth now that's a name! were team rocket…" "I have had enough of your stupid speech. Just give back Pikachu." Ash yelled. Jessie looked at them angry that a twerp had interrupted their modow. "Now don't interrupt us while we speak. It is very rude." James then saw Evan. "Say isn't that the twerp who messed with us back in Kanto?" just as Jessie was about to talk again a small laser blew a small hole in their balloon. Causing them to fly out of control. "Looks like team rocket is blasting off again!" they yelled followed by a ding. Pikachu was now falling out of the sky screaming. "Pikachu!" Ash yelled. Now by this time everyone was awake. Just then a really shifty guy jumped up and grabbed Pikachu. "This is number 34. I have the Pikachu and I'm will head back to base." He said into a transmitter.

Ash and his friends have just seen a unknown enemy steal Pikachu. What will be in store next for our friends? Will they rescue Pikachu? Will Ash confess his feelings for Misty? What is that strange warning Ash heard in his dreams? Find out in the next chapter in Ancient War!

Finally I'm done with chapter one. Soon chapter two will be made see you next time.
