This is it. The world is about to end. And if that's not enough, Ash can't remember a thing. Will he be able to regains his memory in time for it all to be taken away? AAML, please review! I want to know your opinion! Rated T for language.

This story takes place during the Sinnoh league, current time. Now let's begin…

Chapter 1

"Ash, wake up!"

"Mrr…super...super dongo man…"

"Come on, Ash! Get up already!"

"Ugh…12 times…12 times a day…dry ragamuffin…"

"Ash, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Hamburger helper…"

Dawn sighed. "Breakfast's ready."

Ash was suddenly wide awake. "Alright, then, let's eat! Don't wanna sleep through breakfast, no sir!" Ash bolted out of his tent without even putting his jacket on. Dawn sighed again.

"He's the one with stubble, yet I'm the mature one." Dawn joined the others for breakfast, which Ash was already wolfing down.

"Woah, Ash, slow down! We've got plenty of time!"

Ash ignored Brock and continued to practically inhale his food.

"You forgot," Dawn said, "he's Ash. He needs everything done quick as possible, especially when it comes to food."

Ash let out a huge belch and continued eating. Dawn and Brock grimaced. Pikachu just ate his pokémon food.

After breakfast, Ash cleaned his place and put on his jacket. Pikachu hopped up on its master's shoulder.

"Pika!"

"Hey, buddy! You ready for another adventure?"

"Pikachu!"

"So where are we headed next?" Dawn asked.

"Well," Brock answered, pulling out his map, "according to this map, the next gym is in Snowpoint city."

"Then to Snowpoint city we go!" Ash said, shooting his fist up in the air.

"Hold on!" Dawn argued. "I want to do another contest too!"

"Well, that's fine!" Brock said. "There's a contest that's going to be held in Snowpoint city too!"

"Alright!" Ash and Dawn both said in unition.

So the group set off to snowpoint city.

"So, Ash," Dawn said as they walked, "have you got any strategies for the Snowpoint city gym?"

"No, not yet," Ash said.

"I heard the gym leader there loves to use ice pokémon," Brock said. "So chimchar would probably be a good choice."

"Yeah," Ash said, "but that also narrows down my choices a bit. Ice will be strong against grotle, gliscor, and staravia, so all I really don't have a choice but to use chimchar, pikachu, and buizel."

"Pika!" Pikachu smiled. It was obviously glad it was going to get to battle. Don't ask me why these pokémon enjoy getting beat up in battle. Maybe they enjoy pain. Or maybe they're like wrestlers, and are just impervious to pain. I dunno.

The rest of their walk was pretty uneventful. It was when they stopped for lunch that stuff started happening.

"Alright, Ash," Brock said, making a fire pit, "can you get us some firewood?"

"Okay." Ash walked off into the woods yelling. "Here, firewood! Here, firewood! Hey, Brock, do we have any firewood bait?"

Dawn and Brock sweatdropped. Ash just kept walking, calling the firewood. Pikachu followed him.

"I dunno, pikachu, how do we find firewood?"

"Pika pi?"

"Yeah, you're right, firewood doesn't exactly just come lying on the ground in the woods."

"Pika?"

"I guess we could just get it from the trees, but my mom always taught me to only use dry wood, so we don't hurt the trees."

"Pika pi pikachu?"

"I know it doesn't make sense seeing as trees can't feel pain, but I've just gotten used to it."

Then, out of nowhere, Ash stepped onto a slope. He wasn't ready for this, so he tripped and rolled down the hill. Pikachu ran after him.

"AAAAAHHH!!!!!" Ash yelled as he tumbled down the hill.

"Huh?"

Meowth looked up.

"Come on, meowth!" Jessie yelled. "We'll never get this hole dug in time for the twerps to find it if you just stand there looking out at the sky."

"But-"

"Now is not the time to be admiring nature!" James said. "We've got work to do! Huh?"

Then Jessie and James heard it to.

"It sounds like the twerp!" They all looked towards the noise to see someone rolling down the hill.

"Hey, it is the twerp!" They all ran out of the way and hid as Ash kept rolling right into their hole.

"Huh?" They all poked their heads out from the trees.

"Wow," Meowth said. "We didn't even have to hide the hole for him to fall right into it."

Pikachu ran up and looked into the hole. "Pika!"

Ash looked up at pikachu. "Hey, buddy. Since when did you have 3 heads?"

Team Rocket jumped out from behind the trees and grabbed pikachu in a net.

"Pika!"

"Yes! Finally! After all these years of following you, we finally have pikachu!"

"Jessie, haven't we said that about a hundred times before only to have the twerp somehow send us blasting off again?"

"Yes, but this time's different!"

"And haven't we said that a hundred-"

"Shut up! We have pikachu, now let's get away while we can!"

James pulled out a remote from his pocket and pressed the button. A huge rocket ship rose from the ground.

"Might I ask why we went to all the trouble of burying that thing?" Meowth said.

"I'd prefer you didn't," James replied. Team Rocket hoped into the rocket ship with pikachu in the net.

"Pikachu!" Ash yelled. He tried to jump out of the hole, but it was too big.

Team Rocket laughed. "It's no use! It's over! We've finally got pikachu!"

James thought of something. "Say, Jessie, now that we caught pikachu, what are we going to do with our life?"

The smile dropped of Jessie's face. She hadn't thought of that.

"Well, uh…"

"I mean, our only purpose in the show is to repeatedly fail trying to capture pikachu. Now that we actually have him, we won't be able to do anything."

"Um..."

"And it won't just be us! Without pikachu, the entire show will change! Ash will have to get a new cute yellow electric pokémon, and there's not a single one out there like pikachu!"

"Err…"

"Not only that, but how will Ash meet a girl sidekick in the next regions if pikachu isn't there to fry people's bikes?"

Jessie sighed. "Okay, I guess you're right."

"Wait," meowth said, "you mean we're letting it go!"

Jessie reluctantly stepped out of the rocket with pikachu in hand and let it out of the net. The little mouse stared up at her curiously, not believing what had just happened.

"Well," she said, not really looking like she wanted to say what she was about to say, "you know what comes next."

Pikachu smiled. So did Ash. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!"

Jessie quickly ran back into the rocket ship just in time for pikachu to fire a massive thunderbolt, cause the rocket to blow up and send Team Rocket flying.

"Well," James said, "I guess this is the way it was meant to be."

"Quit quoting Pendragon!" Meowth yelled. "Those books have absolutely nothing to do with this!"

"Actually," Jessie said, "what if it's true? What if there really are alternate universes and flumes and travelers and everything? That would be interesting…"

"We're blasting off again!"

"Wobbafett!"

"How the hell did you get out here!?!"

And with a ding, Team Rocket disappeared again.

Ash got gliscor to get him out of the hole then he heard a rumbling sound. Him and pikachu looked up.

It appeared they were in front of a cliff. And the cliff was what was making the rumbling noise. The explosion had caused it to start crumbling.

"Run!"

Ash and pikachu ran as far as they could from the part of the cliff that was crumbling. Suddenly, Ash felt something large and hard fall on his head, and everything went black…
