Poke'mon People's

chapter one

What's this? There's something here you've haven't seen before(old fans). Yes this is 'Pokemon People' as you've never seen it before, properly written, better(but not perfect) grammar, and not nearly as many spelling mistakes. Oldies enjoy, and newbies enjoy!!!

Disclaimer: Why do I need to bother with this? If I owned Pokemon why would I bother writing these stories on ff dot net. That would be stupid. If I did own Pokemon though, these stories here would be the new episodes sometime soon.

(Oh and even though Ash is with the new girl, Dawn at this point, he is currently traveling with May and Max, not sure why exactly. well you'll see)

Ash Ketchum lies in a hotel bed with his buddy, Pikachu. The alarm clock on the nightstand reads 11:59am...12:00pm the alarm went off, waking up a drooling Ash. "Two already?" he wiped his eyes and looked at the clock.

Pikachu awoke as well "Pika?" he wiped his eyes and yawned "Chu"

"Pikachu. Why did you set the alarm for twelve? Err. Oh well." he put on a shirt and shorts and got ready for the day ahead of him.

"16 year old Ash Ketchum awakens on another beautiful day. He's had a lot of success during his six year career thus far. Now he's ready to take on the Elite 4 and become a Pokemon Master...after breakfast of course." the narrator narrates, with a follow up chuckle.

Ash searched through the kitchen cabinets for some food, then the fridge, and then finally he found the energy bars he was looking for in the freezer. "There you are. Pikachu, stop putting stuff in the wrong places." he said, giving his pokemon an angry look.

Pikachu sat on the bed, rolling his eyes "Pika..."

Ash put on a head band, and went jogging through the city of Viridian "It's a beautiful day, don't let it get away, something-something-something. Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm." he sang as he jogged, and ate his energy bar.

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

('Beautiful Day' by U2-series theme song)

episode 1

Home Coming

Ash eventually came to a restaurant known as 'Viridian Grub.' His friend's Brock, Ganene, May, and Max sat outside on one of their tables eating lunch.

"Hey guys." he waved as he walked up to them.

"Hey Ash." everyone waved in unison. Ash took a seat in between May and Ganene.

Ganene was Brock's girlfriend. Yes he finally was able to get him self a girl. She took to him right away, some time not too far in the past, now they did everything together, except each other.

"I got your guy's note that read as following:" he took out the crumpled up piece of paper and read 'Dear, Ash. Meet us at Viridian Grub, maybe jog on the way. I have some less than shocking news. Love Max.'

"I sure do have some great news." Max said, very cheery.

"Case closed?" Ash asked

"Huh?" Max raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing. As you were saying."

"I'm starting my own pokemon journey. Now that i'm ten I can finally get my pokemon license. I Max, pledge to be the greatest pokemon master...of all time!" he held out a half eaten apple.

"Wow...cool." Ash then started eating what May could not finish.

And so Max headed off to start his own journey, the rest of the group took off to Cerulean City to track down Misty and visit her before heading to Pallet Town.

They walked and walked and walked until they finally reached Cerulean. "Whoo...we finally made it." Brock said, relieved.

"Is it weird that feet blisters pleasure me?" Ganene asked, looking down at her feet.

"As long as your with me, I don't care if anything weird pleases you." Brock kissed her on the lips.

"Hey guys, have you noticed someone's missing?" Ash asked, Pikachu on his shoulders.

"Max went on a pokemon journey remember?" Brock looked back behind them.

"No. May is gone." Ash pointed out

"Oh...maybe it was back when she used the restroom at the restaurant and we went on without her..." Ganene realized.

"Oh well, one less mouth to feed...let's keep going." Ash said, and so they did.

They finally reached the home of the Waterflower's. "Brock, what if she doesn't like me anymore?" Ash asked, holding his older friend's hand in fear. He hadn't seen her in such a long time, he feared the most that she might have a boyfriend.

"Don't worry Ash, I'm sure she still likes you, you're her friend, best friend." Brock told him.

"Yeah Ash, I never met her, but I'm sure Brock's right." Ganene encouraged him.

Ash lightly pounded his fist against the door to Misty's house a few times. He felt the butterfrees in his stomach growing, he wanted to run away. Then the door knob began to turn. Ash closed his eyes, and then a voice called to him

"Ash?"

Ash opened his eyes and wrapped the person who called his name in a huge embracing hug. "Like, what do you think your doing you little pervert!" Lilly yelled out.

"Oh, sorry, it thought you were Misty." Ash told the girl he was still hugging, and he was also blushing.

Lilly shook her self free and said "You thought I was Misty, I'm not ugly!"

Ash glared at her. "What! Misty is the 4th most beautiful girl in the world!" Ash cried out, and then he turned to the door to see Misty standing there, blushing. Ash's face turned ripe red.

"Hi, Misty." Brock greeted her with a hug "Good to see you again."

"Likewise." Misty replied.

"Hi, I'm Ganene. Brock's girlfriend."

"Brock...you never told me you got a girlfriend." she smiled

"I was afraid the 'Misty Curse' would take effect." he explained.

"Misty curse? Huh?" Misty squinted at him

"Uh, nothing." Brock looked away.

"Well come on in guys." Misty invited them in and they all took a seat on the couch in the living room. "So, why did you guys come by?" Misty asked, while taking a seat on a chair near the couch.

"We wanted to see you before Ash went off to compete against the Elite4." Brock explained.

"Oh yeah I heard, congratulations Ash." Misty congratulated him.

"Thanks Mist." Ash thanked her, making her blush. She loved it when he called her 'Mist.'

Then three annoying sisters, with the names Daisy, Lilly, and Violet walked into the room. "Misty, we have good news for you." Daisy told her little sister.

"What? Did you win another trip around the world?" Misty asked.

"No. You don't think something that out of the blue would happen again do you? You are free to go with your friends now." Daisy told her.

"Really?!" Misty asked, stunned.

"Yeah, we want all the attention from the guys around here now. You can go off wandering around in the dirty woods again." Daisy explained

Misty gave her sisters a big hug, and went upstairs and packed. "Thank you guys so much. I love you!!!"

"Hey, I never said she could come back on our journey with us." Ash said. To this he received a knock on the head by Brock's fist.

"So Misty re-joined the team, and they went off to take on the Elite 4. Ash had now beaten all four of them, the only thing standing in the way now, was the poke'mon master. But...could he beat him. For once? Could he finally go all the way and earn a title? And not just a cheap Orange Island's trophy? Find out in the next... ...couple of paragraphs or so." narrator

So Ash and his friends were now at the Indigo Plateau, where they were staying at a resort, until Ash would have to face the great pokemon master him self. There, he trained his poke'mon almost every day, some days he did nothing but swim in the pool, and get taunted by everyone who didn't think he would beat the master.

Brock faced some drama as well. His girlfriend, Ganene had to leave, and go to Cerulean City. She had gotten a phone call from her mother, saying that her father was very ill, and didn't have much time to live. Brock was very saddened by this, and his psychiatrist told him he would probably never get over it.

Then...the big day came, and Ash was ready to rumble.

So the battle started, and it was being televised all over the world.

Delia, Professor Oak, Gary, Tracy, and Mr. Mime was watching the event on television. They were permitted from going to see the battle live, because Ash's personal trainer thought they might cause some distraction. "Oh, my baby…" Mrs. Ketchum wiped a tear from her eye.

Jessie, James, and Meowth were watching the battle at the stadium, having set up an illegal memorabilia stand once again. "Our lives are gonna be so different after he wins the title, because he wont be on his journey anymore." James realized, his eyes very misty.

"It's a concern. a real concern." Jessie said sarcastically.

"I just hope we get some kind of cash settlement for helping all his pokemon gain levels upon levels." Meowth said.

Meanwhile, somewhere in White City, a group of friends watched the event on TV too. The group of people watched from a table, centered in the middle of the food court of a mall. The TV, was one of those televisions that are up on the ceiling, hanging off from support of wires and bars and junk.

These people were having a going away party for most of the people in this group, all except for one person that was staying.

"Bryan! Quit messing with the television!" Molly(one of the girls) yelled.

"I can't help it, that trainer with the blue shirt, and the goofy looking hat's fly is open." Bryan said in between laughs. He then walked back over to the table, where his friends sat.

At the table sat Molly, Allan, Brack, Ruby, Josie, John, and a marril. Allan had nicely combed black hair, Molly had bright red hair, and blue eyes. She and Allan sat by each other, with their hands in one another's. Marril sat in the lap of Molly.

Brack was a Native American, who moved away from the states. He was tall and muscular, kind of resembles John Redcorn from King Of The Hill. His wife, Ruby sat beside him. She had dark red hair and wore a lot of red, obviously her favorite color.

Josie and John were also a couple. Josie had red hair like the other girls, it was in between Molly's bright, and Ruby's dark. She had the longest of the girl's hair. John had blue hair, longish surfer style hair. Or what Phoenix Sun's point guard, Steve Nash's hair style used to look like before he cut it.

Then there was a raichu, who was missing an ear, and he was missing his tail. He w$as eating a bunch of cheese on a plate in front of him.

"Raichu! Save me some cheese!" Bryan yelled at his poke'mon.

"Yes, master." Raichu SAID. That's right, it talked. This pokemon learned to talk somewhere in his life time, interesting huh? You'll get to learn how he learned to talk eventually.

"I can't believe we're all moving to the U.S." Allan said, emotional because of them having to leave.

"Were not gonna miss you, Bryan." Brack teased.

"Me neither, because you're gay." Bryan teased Blaine.

This made them laugh. Bryan had been teasing Blaine about being gay for years, even though he was now married to Ruby.

They all looked up to the TV to watch the rest of the battle. When, suddenly a large rock smashed in to it, causing it to break.

A security guard ran over to Bryan, hit him on the head, and dragged him out of the mall. "Ok Bryan, you've been warned." he told him.

"Each trainers are down to their final poke'mon, Lance with dragonite and Ash with pikachu." The announcer said over the loud speakers. Sorry if you were hoping for the entire 6 on 6 battle.

"Dragonite hyper beam!" Lance called out.

"Pikachu dodge it!" Ash yelled out.

The beam came straight for pikachu, but pikachu jumped into the air dodging the attack. "Pikachu now's your chance, use thunderbolt!" Ash called out.

Pikachu looked back to his master, nodded, and then turned back around and released a powerful blast of electricity, striking dragonite and leaving it stunned.

Dragonite stood for a few seconds and then fell to the ground. The ref, dressed in a gray NBA-like ref uniform walked over and started counting. Pikachu also walked over and stuck his tongue out.

"Pika-pika-pika. Pikachu pika-pi-chu." pikachu walked back and fourth, taunting the collapsed pokemon.

Then suddenly dragonite's eyes opened and he flung his tail at the electric mouse. "Chu!" pikachu went flying and hit the ground hard.

"Pikachu!" Ash called "I dont know what to tell ya. You let your guard down." he shrugged his shoulders.

"Piiiii." Pikachu got angry. He couldn't believe dragonite just made a fool out of him. He charged up for a super electric shock. "Pika...CHU!!!" he unleashed a powerful volt of electricity and struck dragonite dead on.

"Nooooooo!" Lance yelled with his hand out stretched. Dragonite fell to the floor, and his eyes turned into X's.

"Ash Ketchum has beaten Lance and is now the new Pokemon master!" The announcer shouted.

"We are the Champions" by Queen played as the stadium went wild with cheers. "We did it-we did it!" Ash cheered.

Pikachu jumped in to his arms and he hugged him tight. Misty and Brock did the same as they were all now on the floor, hugging each other, and rolling around in confetti, enjoying the moment that Ash wished would never end.

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World ('We are the champions' by Queen)

"The twerp did it" Jessie said, stunned.

"He's a champ?" Meowth asked.

"Ooh! I'm gonna get his autograph first. Hahahahahahaha." James ran off with a paper and marker.

Ash and his friends were now in Pallet Town celebrating the victory. " I can't believe my little boy is a world champion." Delia said, hugging her son.

"I'm even more surprised it only took you six years to accomplish the feat" Professor Oak complimented.

Delia took Ash's champion trophy and placed it in the trophy case. "Oh wow, the first trophy to put in the case" she said happily.

The party continued with Tracy, Mr. Mime, Gary, Professor Oak, Delia, Brock, and Misty. Jessie and James hovered over the house in their balloon wishing they could be apart of the celebration…

The following day... "Ash, Professor Oak wants to speak to you" Delia told her son, who sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast with his friends.

"It's not about having to enter another league because something more important than a pokemon master title was discovered is it?" Ash asked with his mouth full.

"Ash, don't talk with your mouth full. Now go see the professor at once." Delia ordered.

"All right." Ash sighed, and got ready to go.

"Oh, and could you please clean Pikachu's litter box before you go." his mom added.

"But Mawwm, I'm a pokemon master now. Can't Mr. Mime do it?" Ash asked, and groaned.

"Mimey is on the can right now. He'll be there for awhile, now that he's entered old age."

Ash sighed once again, and took care of business before heading out. He and his friends went to the lab to get the news.

"Ah Ash There's something I need to tell you." Oak greeted them as soon as they arrived.

"Hi, Professor" Brock greeted "Hello." Misty smiled

Oak mumbled "God, what is it with always saying 'hi' around here, stupid cheerful, happy kids in their good youthful age, stupid aging world." he then realized the youngins were staring at him "I mean, hi. Please, come in. Tracy, make our guests some tea!" he called.

"Oh good, guests. Who is..." Tracy came to the door and saw his smiling friends. "Oh...it's just those guys. Who cares?" Tracy walked off depressed.

"Ignore him, please come in." Oak sweat dropped, and everyone got inside where they sat in what Oak called the 'resting room'

"So what did you want to tell me, Prof?" Ash asked.

"It's professor, Ash. Professor. Anyways, oh. First of all you will be receiving two to three checks a week for your service as a pokemon trainer."

"Ooooh!" Ash, Misty, and Brock looked at each other with wide eyes.

"I don't know why you guys are saying 'ooooh!' when I'm the one getting the money." Ash said angrily.

Prof-professor Oak continued: "But the most important thing is that The E-lite 4 has awarded your master achievement with your very own house in White City on the island known as White Island."

Ash, Brock, and Misty were wide-eyed. "I get my very own house? But-but-but I'm only six-teen years old. I'll be irresponsible and have crazy parties and just like my room the entire house will be a mess constantly. Pikachu's litter box will go uncleaned for months. Neighbor's will complain about me bouncing a basketball and when I have the music up loud. Or when the porn-Disney movies are playing constantly." Ash said.

"Well it's your decision, Ash. What kind of Disney movies you got?" Oak said then asked.

"Ummmmmm, hell yeah I want the house!" Ash confirmed.

Oak handed him the keys and three plane tickets to White City. Also a map, and some directions to the house. "Oh and this..." he handed him a dictionary

"What's this?" Ash asked, sniffing and licking it.

"It's a new updated dictionary since you'll be in the real world. You'll need that for words you don't know. And it's also your ID. It's taped on the inside of the first page." Oak explained.

"Coo-coo. Know what I be sayin' holmes?" Ash said smiling and nodding.

"No." Oak simply replied.

Later, Ash and his friends were now walking home to the Ketchum residence, but somehow found them selves at a four way path, one to Viridian, another to Pewter, one to Cerulean, and the last to Pallet. "I can't believe I get my own house!" Ash said, still stunned.

"Well Misty, we better get back to our own homes" Brock said while taking Misty's arm and heading in the opposite direction to their home towns.

"Hay wait guys!" Ash yelled. Brock continued to pull Misty.

"Brock! Ash is trying to tell us something." Misty pulled away from her older friend.

"You guys are welcome to stay with me, after all you've done for me and my family. I'd really appreciate you living with me…but I get top bunk" Ash told them.

'I just wanted to sleep with Misty' Brock thought. "I'll stay because I don't want to take care of my family" he said aloud this time.

"I'm only staying because my sisters are really mean, and you still owe me a bike" Misty said.

"Surrre" Brock said while nudging Misty in the arm with his elbow.

"It's true." Misty blushed 'God I love him more than life it self and wish we could hug and kiss and make love.' she thought

"Oh guys. You've made me so happy. Your my best friends, something-something. Something-something-something." Ash sang as he took each his friend's hands and they danced around in a circle. Pikachu danced in the middle of them. "Together forever, no matter how long. Now until the end of time. Sing it!"

Brock took over "You will always be my best...friends!"

then Misty "You look at me I look awaaay. I wanna tell you how i'm feeling but I dont know how to star-"

"We're singing friend songs, Misty. Get with the program." Ash reminded her.

"Oh ok." she cleared her throat "I'll be there for you, like I've been there before. I'll be there for you when the rain starts to fall. I'll be there for you cuz your there for me toooooo."

They eventually made it back to the Ketchum house, where Ash unveiled his next step in life to his mom. "But what about me?" Delia asked, misty eyed.

"Don't worry. We'll still keep in touch through telephone and via email. And we'll always see each other when the stamp convention comes back into town." Ash reassured, while hugging his mother.

"Oh all right then. Change your underwear everyday...because of your...um, problem." she reminded him with a kiss on the forehead.

And so he and his friends packed and said goodbye to Delia and everyone else and got on the plane to White City.

They arrived there the next morning and got into a cab heading to their house, strangely enough. Brock had himself a new toy, a video camera he bought at the airport.

"Why'd you buy that, Brocko?" Ash asked.

"So I can tape what we do in our new home." he explained.

"I don't think there will be anything that interesting." Misty predicted, boy would she be dead right.

They soon arrived at the house and got out of the cab along with the driver who then buried a box in the front yard. They were all starring at the driver.

"What?" the driver asked. "I don't want to get caught with all this marijuana"

Ash and his friends…and pikachu ignored him and entered the house and immediately picked their rooms. The house was two stories high. Misty got the room next to the upstairs bathroom. Ash got the room next to hers and Brock got the one room on the bottom story.

When they figured out where their rooms would be, they went down to where the living room was. It was next to the kitchen, and oddly, the entrance to the house was through the kitchen, rather than the living room.

"Well I'm bored." Ash yawned, angrily. Then a knock was heard at the door. "It's probably a fan coming for an autograph" Ash said, over confident in himself. He opened the door. "Sorry no autographs today, maybe tomorrow."

The person was wearing all blue and was a couple inches taller than Ash and was muscular. He had bruises on his face and looked pretty beat up. "Hi, I'm your neighbor, Bryan 'neo namco' Anderson, you just moved in" Bryan said.

"Uh yeah?" Ash nodded slowly. Brock and Misty appeared behind him.

"I have something for each of you." Bryan said. He handed Ash head phones, Brock a hot dog and Misty a picture of Derek Jeter.

"Ooh I love Derek Jeter!" Misty squealed.

Bryan snapped his fingers and swirled his index finger at Ash. "I know where you look familiar, your that poke'mon trainer on TV the other day and your fly was open."

"What?" Ash raised an eyebrow.

Bryan ignored him and handed him a picture. "Oh and here's a cartoon drawing of me"

Ash took the picture. He and his friends looked at it. It was a stick figure drawing. Ash threw it in the near by trash bin after too long.

"Let me show you around this city" Bryan offered.

"Oh that's ok-yah!" Ash said before being dragged to the car by Bryan. Brock and Misty were wide eyed at this unusual new character. "Don't just stand there you hicks, come on with."

Bryan took them to all the places he knew in the city. He then took them to his spawning grounds, the mall. "Here's our famous White City Mall" Bryan said standing at the table in the middle of the food court.

"Who cares? I'll probably never come here again" Ash said.

Then a beeping noise came from Bryan's watch "Oh! Happy Days is on!" Bryan shouted happily, then ran out of the mall. Ash, Brock, Misty, and pikachu starred at him and sat down at the center table.

ALLUSIONS:

.the restaurant 'Viridian Grub' comes from another fic of Neo Namco's called 'Secrets'

.White City's name is based off the White City from Pokemon Stadium 2 for the Nintendo 64.

.When Professor Oak gives Ash a dictionary, it's a reference to all the times he gives him a poke'dex when stating a new journey.

.the song 'we are the champions' by Queen, which played after Ash became a pokemon master, often plays after a professional sports team wins a championship at home.

. "Now that i'm ten I can finally get my pokemon license. I Max, pledge to be the greatest pokemon master...of all time!" Max's pledge line is the same Ash used before he started his pokemon journey.

.When Max tells Ash he has important news Ash replies with "Case closed?" a reference to the anime series 'Case Closed' in which the main character looks like Max.

TRIVIA:

.This series is a revised/re-written/re-submitted version of the original 'Pokemon People' which was improperly written. It can now be found under the title 'The Old Pokemon People Fic'

.When Ash calls Misty the fourth most beautiful girl in the world, a future line was supposed to reveal who the other three girls were: Melody, Dawn, and Jessica Alba. This was cut from the final re-write

.Also, after Ash calls Misty the fourth most beautiful girl, Misty slapped him. This was cut from all dubs because the censors thought it was too violent and would encourage kids to slap each other.

.The note above is a reference to the first episode of Pokemon in which Misty slapped Ash, but was cut from the American dub.

.when Delia says "Oh wow, the first trophy to put in the case" after Ash becomes pokemon master is a false statement, because Ash beat the orange crew and won a trophy that he gave to her.

.the character Bryan Anderson is an OC of the series' creator. His name is based off of an ex player from the Arizona Diamondbacks, the writer's home baseball team.

.Brian Anderson is a very common name. There are a couple baseball players named after him, a football player, a pro skater, a guitarist, and a scientist.

.Bryan's middle name 'neo namco' comes from two things. Neo was a pokemon trading card booster pack name, and namco comes from the game company that made Pacman.

.The author got his pen name from Bryan's middle name.

NOTES:

.This episode first aired on 8-28-07

.Nancy Cartwright plays the voice of Raichu

.John Redcorn from King Of The Hill guest starred as Brack.

. these notes are very similar to those for TV episodes on the site 'tv dot com'.

I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of Pokemon People's. I can promise you that this series will get better and funnier as it moves along. I guarantee it. Please stay tuned and review if you want it to continue, or at least think it might have a chance as it develops.

Hope you original fans enjoyed this one especially. This re-submition was for you!!!
