This is happening right after Ash, Misty, and Brock's adventures in Kanto.

"Pikaaaaa! [HELP!]"

"What is it Pikachu?" Ash asked groggily, just waking up from a deep sleep.

"Pi Pikachu. [Someone's coming over here]"

"Huh?" Ash got up and looked over the hill. "What the- Misty! Brock! Get up quick! We got to go!"

"What are you talking about Ash? We just woke up, at least let us get dressed." Misty rubbed her eyes, still lying down.

"No time, we got to get back to Pallet Town before it's too late." Ash was now packing up his sleeping bag.

"Okay, but you better tell us what's going on before we get there, Ash." Brock said, now also packing up.

Just a few minutes later the whole group was running through the forest towards Pallet Town, only to find that no one was home. They went around checking every house to see if someone had stayed back and could tell them where everyone was. But, no matter how long or far they searched, there was nobody to be seen. At last they came to Ash's house and went in to see Delia racing at them holding an axe.

"Mom, wait! It's us!" Ash shouted, shrinking back to avoid the axe that was being swung at his face.

The axe thudded into the door behind Ash, and they all gasped as a spurt of red splashed on the wall.

Pikachu was shaking as he looked at the split open bottle of ketchup that he had been licking. Delia fell to the ground and dropped the axe as she realized that she had almost killed her son.

"Oh, Ash! I'm so sorry! I thought you were one of those... things." She shuddered.

They all went into the kitchen and Delia made them all sandwiches. As they all ate they discussed what they all had seen and tried to figure out what it was and what had started it. They came to the conclusion that these were indeed zombies, but they couldn't figure out what had caused it or why. Just then, they heard a banging at the door.

"Quick! Let me in! No! NOOOOOO!" A mysterious male voice shouted to them, but was cut off abruptly by groans and moans from what the group figured was the zombies.

Delia looked out the window to see if they could get out the back door, but that too was crawling with zombies. As the group checked all the exits, they quickly became more and more worried as they constantly had to abandon their plans because of the zombies. But when Misty went to check the attic, they had to abandon the plan for a different reason.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

"MISTY!" The entire group shouted. They ran upstairs to see what was going on, but just couldn't find Misty.

"Huh?" Brock asked as he looked up to see what the liquid was that had just dripped onto his shoulder. "Guys... I think I found Misty."

Everyone looked up to see Misty, stuck to the ceiling with some sort of stringy goo. When they finally got Misty down, they went to the kitchen to ask her what had happened and who it was that scared her so much. But when they asked, all they got were tears.

"Okay, look. We can sit around here and worry about the zombies getting in, or we can try to get out of here, and try to figure out what is going on and see if we can do anything to stop it." Brock said, standing up.

Ash chuckled. "Don't worry. I've got a plan..."
