Disclaimer: I do not own pokemon.

Chapter 1: An Unexpected arrival

It was pitch in the cave, the trickle of water drops from the rains on the previous night could be heard echoing throughout the open space. Gengar laid on the cold floor.

It's eyes opened slowly revealing their reddish tint and its pointed ears perked up as the sound of noise and commotion coming from outside the cave, ''Arghh I guess its morning huh?'' he said as he rolled from the floor and got to his feet.

''Normally I would sleep through the day and wake at night but I'm really hungry right now.''he said as he checked the his home to see if everything was in with the way things were Gengar began to move towards the exit of the cave only to stop at the doorway as the sunlight shown brightly annoying him quite a bit as he groaned at the sensation.

Gengar squinted his eyes while surveying the area surprisingly there wasn't anyone around''Huh,guess I'm just that lucky no ones around now all I have to do is find some grub and get back to bed easy.''he said with a smirk on his face. Gengar quickly shifted into a the shadows as he streaked through the forest via the shadows with his ability moving through the forest was a breeze.

Gengar finally reached his destination as he saw the large fruit tree which was the closest to his home which stood at the centre of a large stoned plane with very few trees around it.

Unfortunately two other pokemon were already at the trees base casually laying back on its bark asleep, Gengar quickly blended perfectly with the trees shadows as he observed the two''Great just what I asked for two unwanted guests at my spot.'' he snared.

Over to the two pokemon there laid Sandslash and Raticate very odd considering the fact that seeing a pair like this was quite hard however they both found the tree at the same time while scavenging for food and after fighting over who got the spoils the decided that it be better to work together rather than duke it out as long as they split the food between each other.

The Sandslash opened its eyes as it gave a quite yawn while scratching its sides it looked around the area looking for any trespasser but unfortunately it couldn't focus with the loud grating noise made the large sleeping Raticate which almost resonated throughout the Sandslash quickly swatted the Raticate's head.

''Oww hey whats the big idea moron?!'' shouted Raticate as it began rubbing its head with its paws.

Sandslash pointed with its long claw ''Your making a lot of noise,if your not careful you'll draw others to our territory.''he ordered.

Hidden in the shadows Gengar watched as the two argued ''Hmm their distracted I could jump them but I better wait for the right moment.''he said as he sunk back into the darkness.''Hey who are you supposed to be?''shouted a voice Gengar quickly jolted.

'Wait don't tell me they found me that's not possible' he thought as he peeked at the Sandslash and Raticate watched as a small figure walked towards them its face was covered by a cloth but its body appeared to be covered by a shell.

It continued walking towards them ''Hey, were not playing games tell us what your doing in our territory!'' screamed Sandslash.

the figure pulled back the cloth ''Hhahaha sorry I bet I scared you both didn't I, you both probably thought I was a ghost hahaha.'' the figure joked.

Both Sandslash and Raticate looked at each other almost in sync then the Raticate turned to the cheery figure ''Who do you think you are anyway?''he asked.

The figure smiled ''My names Togepi and I'm completely lost also hungry and I saw this tree with a lot of tasty fruit on it and I couldn't resist so I came to get some, so can I please have some please.''she asked.

''No get outta here kid, this tree and its fruits are ours no one else's so either go back or we'll make you ourselves.''said Snadslash, while showing his claws at her.

''Great I just get more problems by the minute.''groaned Gengar.
