Alright people, I know it's been awhile, but here is my newest story, The Forgotten Island. This is going to be a long one, but when I'm finished, I'll try to hurry up and get ready for my one-shot that I made for Valentine's day and for my tenth story! I'm already behind schedule, so here is my story!

-EVAN AAML

''We join our heroes in the Orange Islands getting ready for their next adventure. Little do they know, it'll be their greatist''.

''How far is it to the next island?'', Ash asked eagerly and excited, his pal Pikachu on his shoulder. ''Oh Ash, relax, your always itching for a new adventure!'', Misty said. ''Well, the next stop is Pummelo Island, it's not to far from here'', Tracy explained. Ash had recently earned 4 Orange Island badges. With Misty and their new friend Tracy, they traveled to all of the Orange Islands and had many adventures. Ash even saved the world on his visit to Shamouti Island. Everyone was now on their way to Pummelo Island, for Ash's chance to win the Orange League trophy.

''I can hardly wait, are you ready Pikachu?'', Ash asked. ''Pikachu!'', Pikachu replied. Togepi then intervined. ''Toge, Toge, Priii!'', Togepi said pretending to act tough, everyone laughed. For the next hour, they rode on Lapras's back to get to Pummelo Island. Except for the occasional talk, nothing happend, untill...

''What's the matter Lapras?'', Ash asked. Lapras seemed to be in a little panic and looked around. Before they could find out what was wrong, bubbles started to appear next to them. The bubbles got bigger and bigger until eventually, a huge, Red-Orange fish appeared. This fish was a Magikarp, but it was much bigger than a normal one and it seemed...metalic. ''Wait a minute, that's!'', Ash said. Laughing from the inside of the fish stopped him. Suddenly, the fin on top of the Magikarp lifted up and three figures appeared. These figures were none other than Team Rocket. ''So that's what was wrong with Lapras!'', Misty said. ''Yeah, it just sensed Team Rocket!'', Tracy said. Team Rocket meanwhile was still laughing. ''Prepare for trouble, and make it double, to protect the world from devistation, to unite all people within our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars above. Jessie!. James!'', Team Rocket said. They suddenly stopped when they notticed Ash, Misty, and Tracy sitting in a circle on Lapras drinking tea. ''Hey! Don't ignore us!'', Jessie and James yelled.

''Why shouldn't we? Your pretty boring'', Misty said drinking, Ash nodded. ''Right Pikachu...Pikachu?'', Ash said not getting a reply. Ash, Misty, and Tracy then turned to see Pikachu and Togepi stairing towards the ocean, looking petrified. ''Pikachu? What's wrong?'', Ash asked. Team Rocket also notticed the two Pokemon. ''Hey, what's up with them?'', Jessie asked. ''I wonder why the're scared'', James said. Meowth,, who had been looking at the same thing Pikachu and Togepi were and was also scared, answered. ''I think the're scared of that!'', Meowth yelled pointing. Ash, Misty, Tracy, and Team Rocket then looked at what they were pointing at. As they did, fear came across everyone's face. For in the water was a very large, scary looking dragon. A...

''Gyarados!'', everyone yelled, ( how could they miss it!? It's huge! ). The Gyarados then roared at the Pokemon trainers with great intensity. After it did, Ash had Lapras swim away quickly while Team Rocket went into their sub. The Gyarados then launched a Hyper Beam at the sub, causing it to explode. ''Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!'', Team Rocket yelled before disappearing in the distance. Ash and the others, however, were still being carried away by lapras, not daring to slow down even though the Gyarados disappeared after attacking Team Rocket. After what seemed like an eternity, they stopped.

''Finally, it's gone!'', Ash said. ''Yeah, what a relief'', Misty agreed. ''But that chase sent us way off coarse, I don't even know where we are'', Tracy said looking at a map of the Orange Islands. ''We're no where's near any island and Lapras is to weak to travel alot farther'', he continued. ''Wait a minute, then what's that?'', Ash asked notticing something in the distance. What he saw was a large, forested island. At the center was a small mountain. ''Hmm, I wonder if the're people there'', Misty said. ''It'll be a problem if no one's there'', Ash replied. ''That's strange...this island isn't on the map, it's supposed to be open water here, and I know I've never seen this place'', Tracy said. As everyone wondered how this could be, Misty turned around and gasped.

''Look!'', Misty yelled excitedly. Ash, Tracy, Pikachu, and Togepi turned to see a Tentacruel swimming by. ''A Tentacruel! I've always wanted one! I've got to catch it!'', Misty said. She then pulled out a Pokeball and prepared to throw it. ''Uh Misty, don't you think you should...'', Ash said, but it was too late. ''Go Pokeball!'', Misty yelled. As the Pokeball flew towards Tentacruel, it notticed the ball and used Water Gun, making it fly back to Misty, who caught it. ''Ah man, it didn't work'', Misty complained. ''Well I tried to warn you, you should have weakened it first, didn't you tell me that when we first met?'', Ash asked. ''But it is weak, that's a newly evolved Tentacruel'', Misty explained. ''WHAT!? How could you tell!?'', Ash asked. Misty smiled. ''I'm an expert Water Pokemon Trainer, I know these things!'', Misty said. Pikachu then looked at the Tentacruel and paniced.

''Pika!'', Pikachu yelled. Everyone then looked and notticed that the Tentacruel was swimming very fast...towards them! ''Ah! It looks like you got it mad!'', Tracy yelled. The Tentacruel then stopped right in front of them. It then pulled out one of it's tentacles and flung it towards Misty. Misty screamed as the tentacle flew towards her. Suddenly, Ash ran to her. ''Misty, watch out!'', Ash yelled. He then pushed Misty out of the path of the tentacle and into Tracy, who caught her. ''Ash, look out!'', Misty yelled. The tentacle suddenly wraped itself around Ash and pulled him in the air. Ash then screamed as it pulled him into the water. Now all was quiet, both Ash and the Tentacruel were under water. ''ASH!'', Misty yelled, but no reply.

Meanwhile, under water, Ash was struggling to get out of the Tentacruel's tentacles. As he struggled, the Tentacruel prepared to stab Ash with his stinger, ( the thing that looks like a nose on Tentacruel ). Ash then finally slipped out, but the stinger cut it's way into Ash's leg. Ash screamed in pain, but still continued his way to the surface. Finally, he reached it. ''Ash!'', everyone aboard Lapras yelled. Ash then tiredly swam to Lapras. When he got there, Misty and Tracy pulled him up. After he was on, Misty hugged him. ''Oh Ash! I was so worried about you! Are you alright?'', Misty asked concerened. ''Yeah I'm fine, don't worry about me, what about the Tentacruel!?'', Ash said. As if on cue, the Tentacruel breached the surface of the water. It then swam towards Lapras again. Everyone screamed, but suddenly, Lapras turned around and fired it's Ice Beam attack at the unexpecting Pokemon. The Tentacruel quickly turned into a glacier. It soon broke free, but realizing it couldn't take on a Lapras, swam away in a hurry. Everyone then sighed in relief.

''Thanks Lapras!'', Tracy said. Lapras belowed in delight. ''Ash are you sure your alright?'', Misty asked worried. ''Of coarse I am!'', Ash said forgetting about the sting in his leg. ''Ash...you saved my life...I don't know how to thank you'', Misty said. ''Misty, we're friends, we do things like that for each other'', Ash said. ''Well here's a small thank you!'', Misty said. She then gave Ash a small kiss on the cheek. This caused Ash's face to turn bright red. After that, Tracy laughed while Pikachu and Togepi looked at each other in happiness.

''Wow, I should save your life more often!'', Ash said pleased. Misty then blushed a little while Tracy pulled Ash away. ''Well now that that's settled with, we need to think of a plan, I'm sure you and Lapras are tuckered out after what happened'', Tracy said to Ash. ''Well I say we go to that island and try to see if anyone lives there'', Ash said. Pikachu and Togepi agreed. ''Well I suppose we haven't got much of a choice'', Misty said. ''Alright then, that's what we will do'', Tracy explained. Lapras then swam to the direction of the island. It took a short time for them to reach the island. When they reached the beach, Ash jumped off. But as soon as he did, he cringed and fell to the ground writhering in pain.

''Ash!'', Misty yelled. She soon jumped off of Lapras with everyone soon to follow. ''Ash, what's wrong!?'', Misty asked worried for Ash. ''It's nothing...I'm fine'', Ash said painfully, gritting through his teeth. ''Ash, your obviously not fine'', Misty said. ''Ash, your leg!'', Tracy said. notticing Ash's leg. Everyone looked and notticed a hole in his jeans and red liquid surrounding the area. ''Ash! Did the Tentacruel do this to you!?'', Misty asked. ''Yeah...I'm telling you I'm fine'', Ash said. He then tried to staind up, but soon fell. Luckily Tracy and Misty caught him and held him up. ''What are we going to do!? Ash needs help!'', Misty said tearfully. ''Pikapi'', Pikachu said sadly. Ash looked down to him. ''Don't worry Pikachu...you just watch Togepi...I don't want her to have to see this'', Ash said. Pikachu was still worried, but listened. ''Were going to have to find someone on the island who can help!'', Tracy said. Amazingly, right after he said this, they all heard a noise and turned. Behind them was a boy looking out to the sea, about ten years of age.

''Hey!'', everyone yelled. The boy heard the yell and turned, a shocked look on his face. ''We need your help!'', Tracy and Misty said immediatly after. ''What the!?'', the boy said shocked. He then ran over to Ash and the gang. ''How did all of you get here!?'', the boy asked. ''There's no time for that, we need your help!'', Misty said. ''Uh...right!'', the boy said. ''Listen, my friend here is hurt badly, do you know where we can take him to get help!?'', Misty asked. The boy was still shocked, but answered. ''Yeah, my brother and his friend can help, the're good with this stuff'', the boy explained. ''Good, can you take us there?'', Tracy asked. ''Yeah, this way let's go!'', the boy said. Ash then quickly returned Lapras while Tracy and Misty carried him to where the boy was leading him. Pikachu was trying to keep up, carrying Togepi in the process. The boy soon picked then both of them up to prevent any delays. As they ran through the dense jungle, Ash, Misty, and Tracy thought of what would happen to them, stuck on an island with a wounded friend. Eventually, they exited the jungle and reached small, rocky cliff. When they reached the top, they notticed four or five tents set up. The cliff looked like a camp. Next to the closest one was another boy looking through some crates. This one was however older, possibly their age or even slightly older, ( 14-15 ). ''David!'', the boy yelled. The older boy looked and notticed everyone, shock covering his face. ''Connor! What's going on!?'', David asked, obviously having many questions to ask. ''This person needs help badly! Where is my brother!?'', Connor asked. ''He's at the cliff's edge, I'll get him, put him in the medical tent pronto!'', Davis said. He then ran off.

So Tracy and Misty placed Ash in the tent that Connor lead them to and waited. Meanwhile, David ran to the cliff's edge and saw a boy his age sitting over the edge of the cliff, playing what appeared to be a hand-held instrument. ''What's going on David?'', the boy asked, putting down his instrument. ''Your brother, he found other people!'', David said. This seemingly got the boy's attention, for he stood up after he said this. ''Well then, let's go'', the boy said. ''Wait, one of them's injured badly, he needs our help!'', David explained. The boy then looked up at David. ''Shoot, quick, we got to help him!'', the boy said. They both then ran to the tents. When they got to the right one, they opened it. When Ash, Tracy, and Misty heard them, they turned to nottice another boy with David who was also probably their age, possibly the oldest of the three. Him and David immediatly walked over to Ash, who was at the time laying on a bed set up in the tent. ''Alright, I'm going to need to know what happened'', the boy said. So Misty and Tracy filled them in on everything starting from Team Rocket and ending at the Tentacruel attack.

''...So then he got pulled under, when he came up, he seemed fine, but then we got to land and we found out'', Misty finished trying to explain what happened the best she could. David and the boy where by now cleaning up Ash's leg. ''I see, well Tentacruel attack their victoms from under water, but they usually don't drag you down, so my guess is if he did, he stabbed you with his stinger, correct?'', the boy asked. ''Yeah, it tried to stab me in the chest, but I slipped out and it missed...well sort of'', Ash said followed by a chuckle. ''Well you seem to be taking this well, do you realize that you almost died?'', the boy asked, starting to wrap up his Ash's leg with David's help. ''Yeah, but I'm always in life threatining situations, I am a Pokemon Trainer after all!'', Ash said proudly. ''Ah, a Trainer huh, so you've come for the Orange League?'', the boy asked. Ash nodded. ''Yep, I already earned all four badges, all I need now is the Orange League trophy!'', Ash said showing his badges in his jacket. The boy and David looked at each other and chuckled. ''What's so funny?'', Ash asked confused.

''Kid, do you think it's that easy to win the trophy? Believe us, it's not!'', David said. Everyone looked at them confused. ''What do you mean ''Believe You?'', Ash asked. Both the boy and David looked at each other and grinned. They then opened their jackets and revieled four badges each. ''Trust us, we know'', the boy said. Everyone looked at them amazed. ''We both made it to Pummelo, I'd tell you some tips, but they get a new leader every now and then, so it changes'', the boy said. '' Did you win it?'', Ash asked eagerly. ''Yeah, both of us did'', David said. ''We'd show you the trophys, but their at our real homes'', the boy explained. While everyone was amazed, David and the boy finished patching up Ash. ''There, that should hold, consider yourself lucjy'', the boy explained. ''Why?'', I know I could have been in trouble with the cut but...'', Ash said. ''That's not what I mean. Your friends said you got attacked by a newly evolved Tentacruel.Young Tentacruel, like all of the jellyfish Pokemon, are poisonous. Newly evolved ones though, can't control the amont of poison they inject. So that means your in one of two predicaments, seeing as how I didn't nottice any poison in your cut'', the boy explained.

''Alright, what are they?'', Ash asked. ''One, the Tentacruel didn't inject any poison in you, or two, the Tentacruel injected you with so much, that it all went into your body'', the boy said. ''And if that happened...well, how should I put this?...'', he continued. ''Just spit it out, I can take it'', Ash said. ''Well, you'll die...at any time your here'', he explained. ''But that's not to say you did get choice two, so you can relax'', David said to ease them. ''Well that's a relief, oh I'm sorry, we didn't get your names'', Misty said. The three boys stood up and prepared to introduce themselves.

''I'm Connor'', Connor said. ''And I'm David'', David said. They then looked at the last boy. ''Evan'', the boy said, ( I know your tired of me being in my stories, but this time, I stuck in my brother, Connor, and my life long friend, David, both Pokemon fans ).They then greeted them. After the introductions, Misty asked a question. ''How come when we arrived here, you were shocked?'', Misty asked. ''Oh, well you see...we don't get company here...ever'', David said. ''Yeah, we're the only people here!'', Connor replied. ''WHAT!?'', everyone said shocked. ''Yeah, no one's lived here in about 1,000 years'', Connor explained. ''There are some ancient ruins in the heart of the island. The ruins have alot of treasure that they honored, like the stone of purity, ( you'll learn about this later ). They also honored Pokemon, so we named it Pokemon Island'', Evan said. ''So welcome to Pokemon Island!'', David said.

''So then...how did you get here?'', Tracy asked. This caused the three boys to shudder alittle. ''Well, you better relax, this is going to a bit of a story to tell'', Evan said.

OK, now that I am done with the first chapter, I will tell you that this is one of my best stories I have ever made. Wait until you read the rest of the story. On the next chapter, you will find out more about the three boys, where they came from, and possibly more company might appear on the island, but is it the company everyone wants? Stay tuned and find out.

p.s- I might also add another shipping in here, but here's a hint, it's nothing to do with Misty OR two guys, ( I hate it when people have gay shippings, it's disgusting! )
