Troubles Chapter 1:
Rescue
Kisshu, Ichigo and Emiko had been living together for a few months now. Little did they know, however, things were about to change.
One day, Emiko was baking brownies, and Kisshu was watching her hopefully. Ichigo had gone out to pick flowers. Emiko was just about to tell Kisshu that him staring at her was driving her nuts, when they heard Ichigo scream. Emiko turned off the oven and she and Kisshu teleported to the sound. What they saw shocked them. Ichigo was getting sucked into a portal. Emiko and Kisshu immediately grabbed her hands and tried to pull her out, but the portal's pull was too much, and they got sucked in too.
The three teens landed in a forest clearing. "We're not in Tokyo or my dimension," Kisshu said. "Where are we?"
They stood up, just as a small blue turtle-like thing crashed into them. "Well, there's the answer," Emiko said. "We're in that dimension I told you about, Kisshu. The one with the creatures called Pokemon."
The blue turtle looked at them and said, "Where are you from? And what are you doing in the forest here?"
"We're from a different dimension, and we got sucked into a portal that landed us in this forest," Emiko said. "What's your name? I'm Emiko, and these are my friends, Kisshu and Ichigo."
"I'm Squirtle," the blue turtle said.
"Why were you running, Squirtle?" Emiko asked.
"I was looking for help," Squirtle said. "Team Rocket trapped my trainer and a bunch of his friends, and I need help to free them. Hey, could you help?"
Emiko turned to Kisshu and Ichigo and said, "This Squirtle say its friends are in trouble with that group I told you about. Can we go help them?"
"Might as well, I think we're currently stuck here anyways," Kisshu said. He looked at Squirtle. "Can you lead us to where your friends are?"
Squirtle nodded and ran off in the direction it came. Kisshu, Emiko and Ichigo followed it. Finally they reached a large building, but it looked like it was covered in a tent. "My friends are trapped inside," Squirtle said.
"Okay," Emiko said. She turned to Kisshu. "Let's cut the tent up," she said.
"Okay," Kisshu said. He crossed his wrists, and his Dragon Swords appeared. Emiko threw out her right arm, and her sword appeared in her hand.
"Ichigo, stay here with Squirtle," Emiko said. Ichigo nodded. Emiko and Kisshu flew up into the air, and flew toward the tent.
"Let's start at the top," Kisshu said. He slashed a hole in the top, and Emiko started making it bigger. She tore down one side, while Kisshu tore down the other.
"We've got to get both sides to fall out," Emiko said. "Otherwise it'll just make things worse." Kisshu nodded, and the two of them flew up and each grabbed a side, then pulled the sides apart, so they both fell in a heap at the sides of the building. Emiko and Kisshu looked down, and saw a group of humans looking up at them.
Emiko and Kisshu hesitantly landed on the ground. Ichigo and Squirtle ran up to them as Emiko asked, "Is everyone okay?"
A woman with reddish brown hair pulled into a ponytail came up to them and said, "Yes, I think we're all fine, thanks to you."
"Well, we're not happy!" said a voice above them. Emiko and Kisshu looked up to see Team Rocket in their balloon. Jessie continued, "You totally ruined our plan to capture all the Pokemon here!"
"Oh, so you've decided that you want someone other than Pikachu?" Emiko asked.
"No, we still want Pikachu," James said. "We just thought we'd get a lot of other Pokemon at the same time."
"Greedy jerks," Emiko said. "Do I need to freeze you AGAIN?"
Team Rocket looked nervous and said, "PLEASE don't freeze us again!"
"You guys are pathetic," Emiko said. "I suggest getting out of here if you don't want to be frozen for the next 72 hours."
"You're going to up the time limit again?" James asked nervously. "The last time was bad enough!"
"Then scram, and don't come back!" Emiko shouted.
"YIKES! We'll go!" Jessie said. "Just don't freeze us again!" Team Rocket turned their balloon around and floated away as fast as it could go.
"Emiko, something's running towards you," Kisshu said.
Emiko turned and saw Pikachu. She waited, and Pikachu jumped onto her shoulder and started rubbing her cheek. Emiko giggled and said, "Pikachu, it's so great to see you again!"
The woman with reddish brown hair looked surprised. "You and Pikachu know each other?" she asked.
"Yeah," Emiko said. "Hey, if Pikachu's here, does that mean Ash is as well?"
"Right here," Ash said, coming over. "Nice to see you again, Emiko, who's your friend?"
"This is Kisshu," Emiko said. "You remember Ichigo, right?"
"Yeah, hi," Ash said. "Nice to meet you, Kisshu."
"Thanks," Kisshu said. Then he turned to Emiko. "How do you know each other?"
"Ash is Pikachu's best friend," Emiko said. "I've met them twice. I'm not sure who all these others are, though."
"Oh, sorry," the woman with reddish brown hair said. "I'm Mrs. Ketchum, Ash's mom."
"I'm Misty," said a girl with orange hair.
May said, "You know me and Max, and Brock, right Emiko?"
"Yep," Emiko said. Then she turned to Kisshu. "That's May, her little brother is Max, and the other boy is Brock."
"Nice to meet you," Kisshu said.
Suddenly a man in a white lab coat came out of the house and said, "We have guests?"
Emiko immediately hid behind Kisshu. She heard Ash saying, "Yeah, this is Kisshu, the girl behind him is Emiko, and the other girl is Ichigo. Kisshu and Emiko got us all out of the tent."
"Where's Team Rocket?" the man asked.
"Emiko scared them off," Ash replied.
"And why is she hiding?" the man asked.
"She's afraid of people in white lab coats," Ash said.
The man sounded confused as he said, "That's certainly an odd fear."
From behind Kisshu, Emiko said, "You wouldn't think that if you'd been kidnapped, turned into a completely different race, poked with needles, and kept in a cage, all by people with white lab coats."
Suddenly Pikachu, who was still on Emiko's shoulder, said, "Professor Oak isn't like that, Emiko. He's a really nice guy who loves Pokemon. It's safe."
"I-if you say so, Pikachu," Emiko said nervously. She hesitantly came out from behind Kisshu.
I know, really bad chapter ending. I wanted to make this more than one chapter, though, so I'll post more today.
