Ketchup Wars
Chapter 1: A Ketchup Misunderstanding
Ash was sitting at a table outside a restaurant watching a Gallade and an Ivysaur battle, and Dawn, Brock and a very happy Pikachu were sitting with him. Pikachu was very happy because on the table were two bottles: a yellow one, and a red one. But Pikachu had no interest in the yellow one. So he sat and licked the red bottle, enjoying the delicious taste of ketchup.
In the battle, the Ivysaur was firing Razor Leaf at Gallade, who cut them down with his blades. Then Ivysaur fired some into the sky, before grabbing Gallade's blades wit vine whip. Gallade, however, used the vines to pull Ivysaur in, and then held it up above himself. The Razor Leafs that were in the sky fell onto Ivysaur, causing it to let go of Gallade, causing Ivysaur to fall on the ground. After his trainer told him to finish Ivysaur with Psycho Cut, Gallade launched one. But Ivysaur jumped, and the Psycho Cut kept going.
Right towards Pikachu.
When Pikachu saw the attack coming towards him, he held up the ketchup bottle to protect himself. The attack didn't harm him, but the ketchup bottle was destroyed and the ketchup was spilled all over the ground.
"Piiiiiikaaaaaaaaaaaa-" Pikachu began saying, while sparks formed at his cheeks.
"Oh no!" Everyone at Ash's table yelled, knowing what Pikachu would do.
"-chhhhhuuuuuuuu!" Pikachu finished, launching a Thunderbolt at Gallade.
"Ivysaur is the winner," the match referee said, oblivious to Pikachu's attack.
"YES!" The Ivysaur's trainer exclaimed, pleased at "his" victory.
"Let's go, Pikachu… Pikachu?" Ash said, noticing Pikachu crying over the puddle of ketchup.
"-I will get revenge on your murderer.-" Pikachu said to the pile of ketchup.
"Pikachu, let's go challenge that trainer with the Gallade! He looked really strong." Ash said, eager to challenge the Gallade.
"-All right!-" Pikachu exclaimed, jumping up onto Ash's shoulder, ready to get revenge.
"Is Pikachu rubbing its hands together in a sneaky way?" Dawn asked as she and Brock walked with Ash.
Meanwhile, at the table next to the one they were at, there were two suspicious people and a Pokémon. One of the people was male, and one was female. The people were dressed up as cattle herders. The Pokémon was dressed up as a Tauros, despite being a Meowth.
"Perfect! They didn't suspect a thing," the female person said.
"Now we can snatch their Pokémon to please the boss!" The male one said.
"Wait! That Pikachu wants to get revenge on the Gallade!" The Meowth stated, being the only one who understood other Pokémon.
"What has that got to do with this?" The male person asked.
"If we help it, we can capture it behind its back. It won't suspect a thing!" Meowth explained.
"An excellent idea, Meowth. Now we can finally steal Pikachu," the female person replied.
"But wait, Jessie! This town is full of Psychics and their Pokemon. They'll see us coming from a mile away!" The male person said, noticing that the place was full of Psychics and Psychic type Pokemon.
"Well then we'll swap disguises," Jessie said, stating the obvious.
"Oh, and I'll have to wear another disguise, right? And how are we paying for our food, anyways?" Meowth asked.
"It wa-" Jessie began, before a police motorcycle pulled up, and on it an Officer Jenny.
"Have you seen a woman with long red hair and an "R" on her shirt go by? She stole a cart of food," the Officer Jenny asked the group.
"Well, no. But there is a cart over there," Jessie said, pointing to a shopping cart that was crashed into a street light.
"Thank you for showing me this clue. I'll escort you back to police headquarters to find out if there is anything else that you know about this case," the Jenny said, much to the fright of the group.
"N-n-n-no thanks, I don't like going around there. T-t-t-too many wanted posters," Jessie said, just as the group ran away from the Officer Jenny.
"Maybe I should have listened to my 5th cousin after all…" the Jenny trailed off.
So, the start of a new fic. Please R&R.
