Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon or FF7, those belong to game freak and squaresoft, although, I really wouldn't mind owning the Final Fantasy series, they are my ultimate favorite Role Playing Game series. (Although Breath of Fire isn't bad.) Sigh, some things are just not meant to happen.

Note: This is one of very few pokemon FF7 crossovers. I got some of my ideas from 'New Friends' and 'Transformations' although, I'm not going to change ash into a girl, that's just a little too wrong for me. Well, anyway, I hope you enjoy this fan fiction. I may not continue it if I get no reviews, so please, REVIEW! Good or bad, makes NO difference to me.

Chapter 1: Joining AVALANCH

Ash Ketchum, Misty Waterflower, and Brock Slate ran as fast as they could to try to get off Cinnabar Island. The volcano was yet again erupting, and this time they could not stop it. Each one of them was cursing out every foul word they knew for only bringing one pokemon with them. Ash with pikachu, Misty with Togepi, and Brock with Vulpix.

All of a sudden the ground cracked around them, cutting them off from their chance to escape. "Misty" Ash said, edging away from the river of lava only a few feet away from him, "Since we're all gonna die anyway, I just wanted to say.even if you hate me for it, that I love you."('since we're gonna die anyway' what a lost cause) "I love you too ash, I wish we could've spent more time together." (You don't really think I'm gonna kill them off do you?!) "Pika, pi." ~yeah, it sucks.~ "Toge." ~crud.~

Suddenly the wind began to pick up, and a green hole appeared out of nowhere, acting like a huge vacuum, (Kingdom Hearts players, the hole looks like the vortex that sent Sora to Traverse Town) and sucked in the 3 teenagers and 2 pokemon. (Vulpix is in her pokeball) Each one of them felt a strange energy pass through them, and finally the vortex dropped them in front of a blonde, spiky-haired guy with a HUGE sword strapped to his back and a black man (umm.sorry if that sounds racist to anybody.) with a machine gun for an arm.

"Who the hell are these kids!" The black man shouted to the spiky haired guy.

The blonde guy shrugged and walked over to Ash and his friends.

"Who are you? Why are you traveling with monsters? And why do your eyes tell me you've been Mako infused?"

Ash, Misty, and Brock groggily got one their feet, and pikachu leapt into Ash's arms while togepi did the same to Misty. "Err.My name is Ash, this is Misty and Brock. The creature in my hands is pikachu, and in Misty's is togepi. This creatures are not monsters, their pokemon and our friends, and for Mako infusion, hell, I don't even know what that is" Ash said to the blonde. "Now who are you? What's Mako, and what the hell is going on?"

"I'm Cloud, and this is Barret." Cloud said.

"Mako is the blood of the planet, and an organization called Shinra are using machines called reactors to suck out that energy, and drawing to much out will cause the planet to."

"Die." Misty finished for Barret. "Oh that's horrible! Why would they do such a thing?"

"Correct. So me and the other members of AVALANCHE try to put a stop to the madness. We've already destroyed reactor 1 and are planning of reactor 5 in a couple of days."

"And I'll get my gil"

"I need that for Marlene's school'n!"

"No concern of mine"

"You spiky headed self centered dumb ass!"

All Ash, Misty, Brock, pikachu, and togepi could do was watch as the exchange continued for almost a half an hour. Pikachu, who had been watching the exchange with agitation, finally snapped and sent a thundershock at the two. They immediately shut up.

"Now that THAT is over, will one of you care to explain what the hell a Mako infusion is?!" Said Ash, also very agitated.

"A Mako infusion is exactly that, a Mako infusion. It is used mainly on members in the SOLDIER in the Shinra Company to boost their power. How were you three infused if you are not a member of soldier?"

"No clue. One moment, we're about to die from a damn volcano, the next we're in some damn vortex that dumped us off here" Ash answered, scratching the back of his neck.

"Well, now that your stuck here, would you kids like to join AVALANCHE? You'll need to get some weapons and armor, maybe a few materia, what do you think?" Barret asked.

The three teens and pokemon looked at each other and huddled in a circle.

"What do you guys think?" Ash said.

"Well, we are stuck here, and we don't know if we'll ever get back. And because of that, we should try to make friends and allies with people. They could probably teach us about this world, and this AVALANCHE seems to be a good cause, I know I don't want the planet to die while I'm here" Said Brock

"I agree with Brock. This Mako energy or whatever should make us strong, and I think it's cute how ash has glowing green eyes now, although, I can't say much about you Brock, you never open yours!"

Ash, Pikachu, and Togepi laughed, while Brock just stared dumbly at Misty.

"Pi! Pikachu, chu pika!" piped pikachu.

"Toge toge pi!" squeaked togepi.

"So you guys think that we should join too? Save the planet and all that shit?" Ash said.

They all nodded yes and Ash smiled. Even in another world they were still going on adventures and saving the world. He really wished that all his other pokemon were here with him, but they were all at professor Oak's laboratory in Pallet Town. He really hoped that they were ok and that his mom and the professor were taking good care of them.

His mom.

Ash frowned. He really missed her. She probably thought that his friends and him were dead. ~I hope she isn't too sad. I'll make sure that I make her proud here. I'll help these people here save the planet. These Shinra people seem like sure ass wipes. Destroying the planet for a few extra bucks. I'll make sure that they don't succeed.~

"Alright. We'll join them. It'll be just like old times."

They all cheered and agreed to Barret.

"Great! Let's go to the weapon shop. It's not far from here."

They all walked to a small shop and went inside. After a while of looking (ohhh.half an hour or something ^.~) they finally choose their weapons and Materia. Ash had a katana that resembled Seprioth's, only a bit shorter and a bolt and all materia, Misty had a iron mallet (obvious weapon huh?) with ice and cure materia, and Brock had a set of clawed knuckles and a fire and cover materia and they all had a iron bangle on. Ash also decided to get a new set of clothes, because the ones he was wearing would hold him back in a fight, so now he wore his normal black T- shirt with a more movable vest on, loose pants with a belt that held his sword, and durable leather shoes. He still would not give up wearing his hat though, and his backpack was remodeled to hold infinite items, along with all his gear. Misty and Brock also had one of these. (the world's basic items had been explained to them)

"Alright, now that we are all set, let's head back to the 7th Heaven. Damn I need a drink." Barret said, heading towards the sector 7 slums.

Ash snickered and followed Barret. Pikachu was on his shoulder and Misty, Togepi, and Brock followed behind. It didn't actually take long to reach the slums, Barret lead them all to a bar and they all went inside.

The first thing that happened was a little girl launched herself a Barret, and he swung her around in circles. Then this other girl came. She wore a white shirt and a black mini skirt and had long, brown hair and dark pink eyes. While she dragged Cloud off somewhere, this other girl (Damn there are a lot of girls!) and two guys approached Ash and Co.

"Hello! Are you new members?" Said the girl who was called Jessie.

"Yes. Could you explain what we are supposed to do?" Answered Misty.

"Of course. In two days, we are going to go on a mission to destroy reactor No. 5. We'll inform you with more information when the time comes. Until then, why don't you practice with your weapons and materia?"

The group nodded and headed outside and began to practice. Each of then found out that they had a natural ability with their weapons and materia, and Ash got a surprise when Cloud said that he was very gifted with the katana and asked if he wanted to spar. He agreed and for the last two hours they were exchanging blows, neither one of them gaining the upper hand. They eventually had to stop when it began to get dark, so they all went inside the 7th Heaven for a good night's rest.

In the middle of the night, Ash woke up. Not able to get back to sleep, he went over to the pinball machine elevator and went up to the first floor bar. Yawning, he sat down in one of the seats, to be surprised to hear someone call out his name.

"Ash? Can't sleep?"

It was Tifa. The brown haired bar tender. He smiled. Everyone in AVALANCH now knew what had happened to him and his friends, and she felt very sorry for them.

"Yeah, but I'll get to sleep soon." Ash answered.

"Would you like something to drink?"

".Maybe a Dr. Pepper if you have any." (I like Dr. Pepper, although it always makes me burp)

"Alright"

Tifa went to the back of her bar, and came back with a can of Dr. Pepper moments later. Ash thanked her, and downed the drink in record- breaking time. After he was done, he through the can away, said good night, and went back downstairs to his cot that was right next to Misty's.

"Pi pikachu?"

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep, but I think I can now. Goodnight"

"Pi pi"

"Goodnight Misty my love"

Misty subconsciously smiled at the words, which made Ash also smile. He leaned on his side and silently made a promise. ~I will always protect you, I promise.~ And with that he went to sleep.

Next Time: The members of AVALANCH raid reactor No 5, but not without some trouble! Nothing ever goes easy for these people! Ash and Cloud fall off the catwalk and plummet hundreds to thousands of feet to the ground! Will they survive? And why are a group known as the Turks after a Flower Girl? Review, wait, and find out! This story will be updated soon!

Until next time! Blue Dragon
