Stuck in a Parallel Dimension With You
Summary: This is what happens when you get sucked into Pokemon through your TV. It won't get rolling until a couple chapters later.
Chapter 1
Of All the Things to Be Obsessed With…
I sat at my TV, staring in amazement as the beginning theme for Pokemon came on. I smiled, a silly, goofy thing, and squealed to myself. Yes, I know what you're thinking; why would a fifteen year old like me want to watch a children's anime that went out five years ago? Simple: I need a life. I know everyone thinks that; all I talk about is Pokemon. I recently bought HeartGold and I beat it in four days. Obsessive? Yes. Crazy? Not yet.
As soon as I saw the recap for the last episode, I started jumping up and down. In a matter of minutes, the new season would start; it was all about returning to the Johto region and battling Team Rocket again. For most people, they would've shut the thing off and started playing Monopoly or something. I didn't mind; the creators had given the Team Rocket Executive's names and actual lives—not to be mixed up with the old games, where they all looked the same. Some of them were even cute…
"Ashley!" my mom called from the kitchen, "What are you doing up there? It sounds like there's an elephant in your room!"
"Not an elephant, mom," I hollered as I directed my attention back to the screen. I couldn't take her constant yelling in a time like this! Not when they were about to introduce the Executives to the ever-lame Ash and co.!
"Come down here; your sister wants to play with you," she said even louder this time.
She wanted to play at a time like this?! Any other time, I would've grinned and bore it but now was not the time! I could turn into a caged animal just set loose when it came to Pokemon!
"Now, Ashley!" she bellowed again, the annoyance clear in her voice.
"C'mon, Ashley!" I heard Hilary, my kid-sister whine, "I wanna play Barbie!"
Not those things again…I grimaced as I remembered the last time she had wanted to play with Barbie, that it had resulted in being forced into a dress and wearing make-up that made me look like Frankenstein's wife for the remainder of the day. Many embarrassing photos had been taken and, thankfully, hadn't been posted on Facebook to humiliate me further.
"Dad!" I yelled frantically as the time drew near for the part I'd been waiting weeks for started to materialize.
"Ashley, listen to your mother." he said blandly.
"Thanks for the help, dad," I muttered, ignoring the commands I was being given.
"Right now, young lady!"
I turned my attention back to the screen as I saw the Executives come into the picture. I smiled again and ignored the real world. Ash, Dawn and Brock were cornered in some kind of abandoned building while the four Executives glared at them. In the corner, Team Rocket's own Jessie and James quivered behind a crate.
"Who are you guys?" Ash asked nervously.
"And what are you up to?" Misty added, equally nervous.
I felt nervous watching this!
"You shouldn't be asking the questions," Athena (otherwise known as Ariana) grinned, folding her hands over her chest.
"We should be," laughed Lambda (Petrel). The group huddled closer together.
"By the way," Lance (Proton [which, may I add is a lame excuse for a name]) "how did you twerps get in here, anyway? This is a guarded building."
"Why keep it guarded when there's nothing of value here?" Brock said calmly. Ash and Misty shot him a look.
"That's classified, kid." Athena snapped. Brock shut up and looked at the floor.
"Besides," Apollo (Archer) said, "we don't want you meddling kids interfering with our plans, now do we?"
"What plans?!" Ash said.
"A plan…" All four Executives turned to the screen. Their eyes stared straight at me! Was that some kind of ploy the animators used to get into the episode? I was starting to freak out when the doorknob jiggled. My mom was coming in! Just when it was getting good!
"Ashley! I've been yelling at you for an hour now! Get out of there or I'll drag you out!"
I cringed as my mind turned to the illusion, which was Mom's torture. She would drag me out by my ears, wash my mouth out with soap (which is really irrelevant, but she thinks it works) and 'slap some sense into me' which basically meant I was banished from even thinking about Pokemon for a minimum of a year. Agony! If only she knew the sheer terror of her own carefully chosen words.
"Which starts right about…" Lance continued as they all looked at these watches that were concealed in their sleeves.
The door started to open!
My mom yelled; "RIGHT—!"
"Now." All four said. Before I could stop the opening door and the hurricane, which was my mom from barreling into my room, a swirl of purple-ish light came out from the TV and enveloped me. I started to freak out and I screamed as it dragged me right through the glass screen and into the episode! This was either really good or really bad. All I heard was my mom yelling
Finally, after all of the confusion and bruises, I landed on the ground with a large thud. I looked around and realized I was in the warehouse that was in the anime! I noticed Ash, Misty and Brock huddled together against the wall, Jessie and James staring at me like I was in a chicken suit and the four Executives grinning widely at me.
Oh, snap, I thought as I smiled weakly.
Probably going to go with really bad.
Sorry it was so short, I had to get my point across in a short amount of words. I hope this is as good as it sounded when I thought of it!
