Ivy: Hi everyone~! Okay, I know this in fact isn't my first fanfic but let's just say

It'll the first one to actually have a sensible plot… so please don't be too hard on me!

Blake: Not to mention the only one that'll even make it above 4,000 words.

Ivy: Shut up! And do the disclaimer while you're at it.

Blake: *Sighs* Pokemon does not belong to Ivy, or animeftw231, whatever you call her. Otherwise there would probably be a lot more contestshipping, pokeshipping, eevee evolutions, and other girlish crap she likes.

Drew shivered as another cool gust of wind blew in from the cave, and silently cursed. It's been hours since the explosion, and he had been trying to find a way back from this seemingly tropical island, but it was no use.

He shook May, hoping to get a response from the unconscious coordinator. She merely mumbled and fell limp again. The greenhead sighed, as he recalled the explosion

****FASHBACK****

Drew looked out at the sea, as the salty wind blew across his face. He sighed; his trademark smirk was wiped off his face, replaced with pure concentration. He remembered what he'd said to May at the Grand Festival.

"I'm not a wimp like you!" He screamed and ran off into the woods. May stared after him with hurt eyes.

"But how can he saw such a thing...?" she said, her eyes on the verge of tearing up.

"Absol! I choose you!" He called, and released Absol from its pokeball.

"Absol, Abs!"

"Hey, are you ready for your training?"

"Abs Abs Absol!" (Yeah! I'm ready for anything you throw at me!)

The two immediately got to work. Soon, the sky had already begun darkening. Absol panted, seemingly exhausted. Drew grimaced at the short amount of time before sunset, and called out "Alright, one more time, Absol, use razor wind!"

Absol happily obliged, this time it was strong enough to nearly knock is trainer off his feet, although he should've been a safe distance away. He stubbornly planted his feet on the ground and shielded his face with his arms to avoid being knocked into the sea. For a horrible moment he had thought he would be thrown off balance. When the attack ended Drew was only about 3 feet away from an edge with a drop of roughly 50 feet to the sea.

He grinned, and flicked his hair "Yeah, That's what I'm talking about!" he saw a boat just barely heading off the coast as Absol was returned.

Then something unusual caught his eye, and he hastily ran down to the beach, closer to where the boat was. His jaw hung in shock, and the Drew does not gape in shock! It floated next to the boat he'd just seen, laughing happily. Something that many people would want to but will never get to see in their lives. But there it was, dancing around in the water as if it had all the time in its life. Its small blue form splashed waves at the boat, as if trying to get someone's attention. There was a yellow spot surrounding each of its glistening eyes, with two other yellow spots sprouting from it. In the middle of it's chest was a beautiful red gem.

A Manaphy.

When he snapped out of his shock, the coordinator finally took notice of the people on board. There stood May and her friends, playing and calling out to the legendary pokemon.

Suddenly, his rival's attention was focused on something in the sky, and her smile immediately turned into a glare. The grass head looked up.

"Team Rocket!" Ash yelled out.

There, indeed, was a hot air balloon of a meowth floating in the sky. Tree figures could be made out. Drew cursed under his breath.

"To protect the world from devastation," said Jessie.

"To unite the peoples of our nation." James recited.

"To denounce the evils of truth and love,"

"To extend our reach to the stars-"James began, but was quickly cut off by a furious Drew.

"Oh, spare me!" He yelled angrily.

"Yeah, what are you here for anyways!" said Max.

"A Manaphy like that would be a great present to the boss!" said Meowth.

"This Manaphy belongs to the wild!" yelled Ash.

"We'll see, twerps, go Seviper!" she called out.

"Seviper!" it hissed, descending to the boat, Brock quickly jumped away, and avoided getting crushed under the snake's weight.

May, too, tossed out a pokeball, "Go, Beautifly!" she yelled.

Drew pulled out a pokeball " Go, Masquerain!"

"Seviper, Poison Tail!"

The snake-like pokemon let out a hiss as it charged its tail. It slammed right into Beautify. May let out a troubled cry.

"Beautifly, are you okay?" she asked. It stumbled for composure.

"Masquerain, use whirlwind!" Drew called.

It faithfully obeyed its master, and let out a tornado-like wind straight at the hot air balloon.

James immediately let out Cacnea. He made his attack before the overly affectionate pokemon could even tackle/hug him.

"Cacnea, sandstorm!"

The Manaphy watched in horror as the two powerful attacks prepared to collide. It did the first thing a pokemon would do when facing a possibility of danger rising.

It attacked.

Everyone stared in horror as a Whirl Wind, Sandstorm, and Whirl Pool smashed against each other.

The green-headed coordinator lifted his arms, and watched as the others did the same, trying to avoid getting sucked into the vortex. He tried to remain on his feet, but soon, he could feel himself getting lifted into the air. He held his breath as his body crashed painfully again the mud tornado, as the wind ripped at his hair, threatening to tear him apart. After spiraling in the mini tornado for a few moments, he was flung into the air, further away from land.

Drew could hear voices scream around him but couldn't comprehend what was happening. Slowly, he felt the world turn fuzzier.

Then, everything went black.

****FLASHBACK END****

A groan was heard as a black-haired pokemon trainer got up from the ground, wincing in pain.

He looked around, finding himself alone. A surge of panic rose as he looked around again, hoping to find his companions. With a sigh of relief, he saw Max and his Pikachu, lying on the ground. They were unconscious, but definitely alive. Then his eyes narrowed. Where's Brock and May?

Ash looked around one more time, after finding it hopeless, he plopped onto the ground once more. Finally, he decided to try to find out where he was.

Surrounding him was trees, lots of them. It was like being lost in the jungle all over again, as the heat washed over him. He was currently in the middle of a dirt path, leading to Lugia-knows-where. Warily, he picked up his hat, and inspects his travelling companions.

Then, a rustling was heard, and he froze.

He knelt down and shook Max, who woke up groggily.

"What? Where are we?" he asked.

Ash brought a finger to his lips, "Shhh! Be quiet," another rustling noise was heard.

"We're not alone."

Dun, dun, duuun! I finally got this finished! Ugh, this was my first time typing up something on my new Mac, and it took me 3 days to figure out where the Toolbox was. I am so fail… But do review! And if any of my characters are too OC, please tell me.
