The author sat down on her computer and started typing. She thought hard about what she could write for the title. And thought, and thought.
Suddenly she realized she was not writing the title, but instead was writing about herself.
Damn, she thought. I write about myself when I'm meant to be writing about Pokemon.
She realized she was still writing about herself. She slapped her forehead and began the story.
========================================================================
Chapter One: The Pokemon Tower Sleepover (Guess the title explains it all, huh?)
========================================================================
Pikachu stared at Ash. He thundershocked him one more time.
Ash stirred a little.
Pikachu decided used his last resort.
"PPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIKKKKKKKKKAAAACCCCCHHHHHHUUUUUU!!!!!" screamed Pikachu. The people of Pallet Town got a head start to their Sunday Morning.
"P-pika-chu?" mumbled Ash, "Um...Good morning..."
Mrs. Ketchum stood at the doorway of Ash's room. "Good morning, sweetheart. I couldn't wake you up, so I got Pikachu to!"
"Mum? Where's Misty and Brock?" asked Ash, rubbing his eyes.
"They've finished breakfast and are already waiting for you downstairs!" smiled Mrs. Ketchum.
"Yikes!!!!!" Ash dressed up in lightning speed and swallowed his breakfast in one bite. Then he gathered his belongings and ran outside, where Misty and Brock were waiting.
"Finally! Gosh, what took you so long?" demanded Misty with one hand on her hips and one hand holding Togepi. "We can't be late for our Pokemon tour!"
"Ash is always late. He just can't wake up on time, no matter how important." observed Brock.
"We'd better run to Viridian City or we'll be late!!!" screamed Ash, running down the road.
"Wait! Ash!" yelled Brock. "We've got only 10 minutes to get there!"
"Fine!!! Pidgeot, I choose you!!" Ash yelled as he ran. A red beam of light shot from the Pokeball and it formed into Pidgeot. "Pidgeeee-oottt!" said the Pokemon. "Pidgeot! Fly us to Viridian City!" said Ash as he, Misty and Brock climbed onto his back.
-=* * *=-
They landed into Viridian City. A tourist guide and a group of people waited at a depot next to a bus. The people all had their sleeping bags and Pokemon with them. They joined the group, where the tourist guide, a purple-haired lady with a badge, was making a speech. "Hi! My name is Angela from the Pokemon Headquarters, and I'm you're tourist guide for the Pokemon tours! We will be travelling around a lot, and as you know," the woman said, "we are doing this to help the Pokemon Centres raise funds for new equipment and more Centres! Have you all got your sponsorship cards?"
"YES!!" cheered the group.
"Good. Catch as much Pokemon as you can because your sponsors are paying for your catch!" said Angela. "Also, Silph Co. are providing transport and hospitality for us! And not only do you get paid to catch Pokemon, but you can keep them too!"
"Gee, this woman talks a lot!" said Misty.
"She's beautiful!" said Brock, drooling a bit as he edged closer towards her.
"So... Are you ready to catch all the Pokemon?" asked Angela.
"Yes!" yelled Ash and Misty.
Brock stared, with those hearts in his eyes, at Angela.
-=* * *=-
The people boarded on the bus. Ash sat next to Misty and Brock sat next to Angela, the hostess. Angela stood up from her seat.
"First of all, we're going to go nearby Viridian Forest to catch Pokemon! How does that sound to all of you?"
"Great!" said Brock, Misty and Ash, all for very different reasons.
"Well... let's go! What are you waiting for?" Angela sat down next to Brock and he stole a glance every now and then.
-=* * *=-
The Viridian Forest was big. Ash remembered all his past encounters there. Misty also remembered hers. Brock can't care less about the memories, and instead, he focused on Angela.
Misty took out her fishing rod and began fishing in a pond.
Ash and Pikachu went around the forest looking for any new Pokemon he hadn't found.
Brock continued to stare at Angela, who was helping some inexperienced trainers.
"I got it!!!" yelled Misty, as she hauled in her catch. Brock and Ash ran over to her.
"What'd you get?" Brock asked.
Misty ran over to where her catch lay.
"A tyre." She said flatly.
"HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!" laughed Ash.
"Shut up, Ash. Let's see what you can catch!" sneered Misty.
"Fine." Ash took out his fishing rod and sat down next to Misty. He also got a bite.
"Yes!!! This one's so tough!!! Must be a Gyarados!!" grunted Ash, trying hard to pull whatever it was in.
Ash hauled it in, and without looking at what it was, he took out a Pokeball and said, "POKEBALL!!! GOOOO!!!!!"
A red beam of light shot out from the ball and engulfed the Pokemon.
"Yes!!!" screamed Ash.
"Let's see what it is!" said Misty, running over to where he was.
"Go on! Open it!" said Brock.
"Go, whatever-you-are!!!" yelled Ash, running to over where the Pokeball lay.
The ball shot a red beam and it formed into-
"Haaaaa!!!" Misty rolled on the floor, laughing. Brock had tears in his eyes.
-a school of useless Magikarps.
"Hummmmmph!!!" gritted Ash, "At least I will get a lot of sponsorship money! Look at that number of Magikarps! And they'll evolve into Gyarados!"
"Yeah, in a million years!!" giggled Misty.
"Shut up..." snarled Ash.
"Hehe hoho!!!" laughed Brock.
-=* * *=-
While they were laughing about this, another group of travellers were spying at them.
"So that twerp has a school of Pokemon which will evolve into Gyarados!" snarled Jesse.
"Yeah...at least we can follow him all the way on the tour! We're on the same bus!" said James.
"Should we go yet?????" asked Meowth.
"Not yet," said Jesse. "Or we'll get kicked out!!"
-=* * *=-
Ash took his school of Magikarps and Misty took her boot into the bus. Brock escorted Angela back into the bus. They had spent a whole day at the Viridian Forest finding useless Pokemon.
"Next we're going to have dinner at the McPokemon!" said Angela. "They are also one of the sponsors along with Silph Co, and they will provide you the food!"
"Mmmmmm...I could do with a good meal..." said Ash. He turned to Pikachu, "Pikachu? How does the McPikachu meal sound to you?"
"Pika!! Pika-pi!!" said Pikachu. (Yes! I can't wait!)
They stopped back at Viridian City. The people got off and went into the McPokemon. Ash, Misty and Brock waited patiently in line. It was now their turn.
"Umm..." said Ash, scanning the menu. "I'd like a McPikachu meal, with Pikachup please, one Feed-Your-Pokemon meal and one McPoke meal."
"And what would you like, Miss?" said the boy behind the counter.
"Um...one Feed-Your-Pokemon meal and one McHorsea meal, thanks!" said Misty.
"And you, sir?" the boy asked Brock.
"One Feed-Your-Pokemon meal and one McAngela- I mean, McOnix meal." said Brock.
They took their trays of PokeFood over to where the group was eating and feeding their Pokemon.
Ash ate his McPoke meal in one swallow. He dipped his Cinnabar Fries in the Pikachup and turned to Misty, who was eating her McHorsea meal.
"Good thing that these meal aren't made from real Pokemon." said Ash.
"Yeah...I'd hate to eat a Horsea," said Misty.
"PIKA!" agreed Pikachu, who finished his 'very electrifying' McPikachu meal. He went to eat his fries.
"ARRRGGGHHHH!!!" said Brock.
"What's wrong?" asked Misty.
"T-they said-" choked Brock. "t-hat th-e Mc-O-nix wa-s h-ard..." he swallowed a bit. "And it is! I couldn't bite it! It's like stone!"
"Poor Brock," said Ash, patting down his back.
"Let's feed our Pokemon now!" said Misty. They all took out their Pokeballs.
"On the count of three..." said Ash, "One...two...THREE!"
"GO POKEBALL!!!!!" they yelled, chucking the balls.
A million beams of red light formed the Pokemon. Ash began feeding his Feed-Your-Pokemon meal to them. Brock also had no trouble with it.
"PSYDDDDDUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!" screamed Misty, as she chased Psyduck with her Pokemon, trying to get their meals back.
Psyduck continued running with the other Pokemon's meals.
"Pokemon!! Go get your meals back!!" yelled Misty.
Immediately, her Pokemon began attacking their ally.
"Psy! Psy! Psyduck!" said Psyuck, clutching his meal and trying to dodge the attacks.
Staryu knocked it out of Psyduck's pudgy hands, and it flew over to where Misty was.
"Got it!" she said, and she handed the well-deserved meals to her Pokemon. All except Psyduck.
"Psy? Psyduck?" said Psyduck. (Can I have my meal? Please?)
"Noooo!! You bad duck!!! This should be a lesson to you for stealing other Pokemon's food!" said Misty.
"To-greeeee-piiiiii!" said Togepi.
"Pika-pika!" laughed Pikachu.
"Vulllll!" said Vulpix.
-=* * *=-
Three very touristy people sat in the shadow of the cafe.
"Do we have aaannnyyyyyy trouble with our Pokemon, like that twerp Misty?" snickered Jesse.
"Noo!! Only inexperienced dorks like them can!" said James.
"Yeah!!" said Meowth.
"Let's go snatch their Pokemon!" said James.
-=* * *=-
Misty, Brock and Ash finally finished feeding their Pokemon. They sat down, full. Three tourists came over and smiled. Brock immediately sat up, sensing something very wrong.
"Hellllllllloooooo!" said the first one sweetly, a girl with very long pink hair.
"Hi!! Can we see what Pokemon you caught from Viridian Forest??" asked the second one, with short blue hair.
"Who are you?" asked Brock skeptically.
"We're tourists..." said the girl with the pink hair. She noticed Togepi. "Why, what an adorable Togepi!! Isn't that right, James??"
"Yes, Jesse, lovely..." said James.
"WAIT A MINUTE!!!" said Ash, "Jesse and James, huh?? And I think you're from Team Rocket right????"
"I thought there was something very fishy bout them!!!!!" said Brock, standing up.
"That's right!" said James.
"Prepare for trouble!!" said Jesse, taking off her costume to reveal a TR uniform.
"Make it double!!" said James, doing the same as Jesse.
"To protect the world from devestation!"
"To unite the peoples within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"JESSE!"
"JAMES!"
"Team Rocket blast of at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"
"MEOWTH! That's right!" said Meowth, completing the famous Team Rocket motto.
"It's Team Rocket!!" cried Angela, "Run, children, I'll do this!"
"No, Angela!!" Brock and Misty dragged Angela away as she looked worriedly at Ash.
"Go Arbok!!!!!!" said Jesse, taking out her Pokeball and the beam of light turned into Arbok.
"Go Weezing!!!!!!" said James, taking out his Pokeball and it turned into Weezing.
"Arggggghh!!" The people inside McPokemon were scared, and so was Angela.
"People!!! Put your hands to your heads!! Do what we say or this kid here dies!!!!!!" screamed Jesse.
The people did what they were told.
Ash seized the oppurtunity and Pikachu knew what to do.
"Pika-CCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!" said Pikachu, sending a wave of electricity that was so powerful that it sent Team Rocket flying.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!!!" they screamed, and then it died down.
-=* * *=-
Team Rocket landed on top of the bus.
THUD.
"Oof...James, get your bloody hands off me!!!!" screamed Jesse.
"You should've shut your big Meowth!!!!!!!!!" said Meowth.
"Team Rocket can't lose! Or the Boss would be so mad!!!" said James.
-=* * *=-
"Thank you Ash! Without you, we would be gone!!!" said Angela. "How did you defeat someone as powerful as Team Rocket?"
"Umm...we're prone to meet them..." said Ash.
"And now I know why you left Ash alone! He was experienced!" said Angela. "Thanks Misty, thanks Brock. You saved the tour..."
She gave them a each a hug. Brock went over the moon.
The people boarded the bus. Angela said to the group, "We'd now be going to have our beauty sleep-"
"Yeeaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh," said the people, who somehow had gotten tired when Team Rocket made their appearance.
"-at the Pokemon Tower."
Suddenly they were fully awake and they began protesting.
"Can't we sleep in a hotel?"
"Or even this bus?"
"Don't you know it's haunted??"
"No way! Call this really great hosptality?!"
"Calm down!" said Angela, placing her hand up. "To be a Pokemon Master, you have to brave everything. Including just a night at the Pokemon Tower."
The bus chugged along. Everyone looked like they were clinging onto their last hours on earth before they turn into a Gastly.
Finally they arrived. Although it was only 7:00, the air around the gigantic, looming tower seemed to be darker.
"Well! Let's go in!" said Angela cheerfully. She lead them to the huge front door. Faint sounds of shrieking could be heard.
"I don't like the sound of this..." said Misty.
"We could be trapped inside it..." said Ash.
"It wouldn't be that bad..." said Brock. He thought of how he and Angela could spend their days together. In fact, it would be great to be trapped with her.
"Well, everyone...catch Pokemon here, and have you got all your sleeping bags and torches with you? And your Pokeballs?" asked Angela.
"Are you coming inside?" asked Brock, not because he was scared.
"Yes. And if we get trapped, I have this control which will alert the police and the bus driver. And the Pokemon Centres." said Angela.
The people around shuffled and whispered nervously.
"LET'S GO!" said Angela. She touched the door, and suddenly opened without anyone opening it.
"Arrrgghhh!!" some people were already scared, and they weren't even inside yet.
They went inside, and as all horror stories go, the door suddenly shuts.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!" screamed Misty, clutching at Togepi.
"To-grrrrreeee-piiiiiiii!!!!" giggles Togepi.
========================================================================
The author stops typing for a second. She looks around her room in case there were any stoleaway Gastlys in her room. No. She suddenly felt relieved.
But, just to be on the safe side, she puts on an astronuat's costume and continues typing.
========================================================================
"First, you'd need to take take a bath, brush your teeth and change into your pajamas. Got that?????" asked Angela.
"Yeah." said Ash.
"Boys will be lead by Brock-" she said
"ME???" said Brock, hearts on his eyes. "She picked me!!!"
"-And the girls follow me to the change rooms. Got that?" asked Angela.
"YES!" said the crowd.
Jesse and James, who were somewhere in the crowd, had to be seperated.
"Oh well."
-=* * *=-
Brock shone a torch at the ancient change rooms. He rubbed his hands on the sign on the door.
"MALE CHANGE ROOMS," he read aloud. "Well, that's our one!"
Brock pushed the door. The lights were somehow turned on. Angela appeared in the doorway.
"Arrrrrgggggghhhh!!!!" Brock screamed, seeing Angela with only a towel wrapped around her. "What are you doing in the male change rooms????"
"PERVERTS!!!!!!" she screamed, "This is no male change room!!! This is the female one!!!!!"
"WHAT????????" said the group of boys.
Angela walked to the door and rubbed at the sign. Indeed, it said FEmale change rooms. Brock didn't rub the front part of it.
"Hmm!" Angela turned on her heel and went back inside to resume her bath. "The male change rooms are down the corridor, that way!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Ooops!" said Brock sheepishly.
-=* * *=-
The boys finally arrived at the male change rooms. They went inside and flipped the switch. The lights flickered and then turned on.
"Well...um... time for a bath...remember to wash your Pokemon..." The boys all took one cubicle.
Ash stepped into Cubicle 5. Brock went into the next one, Cubicle 6. Ash took off his clothes and folded them. He turned on the tap.
A trickle of water dripped from the tap. Drip, drip, drip. Finally the water came running. Ash felt quite warm inside it. Then he felt around for the soap.
"Pikachu? Can you pass me the soap?" Ash put his hand behind his back.
Pikachu passed him the soap.
Pikachu was splashing around the water, in front of him. Wait a sec...if Pikachu was in front of him, who was behind him????
Ash turned his head around, fearing the worst. He got a Pokeball ready.
"Squirtle!!" said the Pokemon. Squirtle was covered with bubbles.
"OH!! It's only you, Squirtle..." Ash breathed a sigh of relief, and continued his bath.
-=* * *=-
In the cubicle next door, Brock had a lonely time. All his Pokemon refused to come out of their Pokeballs, fearing that they would be wet.
Brock turned on his tap. No water came out.
"Huh?" Brock punched the tap a bit. "OOOW!!"
Suddenly a red liquid sprayed from the tap. BLOOD.
========================================================================
The author screams. "Oh! Nothing! I was screaming at nothing!" she says.
She suddenly realizes she's been reading to much horror books, and watched too much horror movies. And realized that Pokemon wasn't a horror episode.
"DAMN!" she said. "Fine! Let's call blood the red liquid."
========================================================================
"AAAAAACCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!" Brock shot out from his cubicle and ran to the centre of the change rooms.
"B-b-lood...t-the t-ap...spra-yed...B-BLOOD!!!" babbled Brock. His fellow tourists stared at him.
Brock realized he was flashing his, um... usually covered parts, yes, to the world.
"Hey Brock...don't be such a kid!" Ash, in his pajamas, went over to where Brock was using his hands to cover his male *B-I-T*. "All the taps sprayed water. Right?"
His fellow tourists nodded agreements.
-=* * *=-
Angela finally finished her shower after she was oh-so-rudely interrupted. Angela sighed. Logically, all boys are perverts.
Misty took a bath. She let all of her water Pokemon out, which made them all happy to be back in the water. Misty, like all the girls taking their showers, was singing a song.
Her Pokemon splashed on the wet floor happily.
"*I wanna be, the very best!!*" she sang, slightly off tune, "*but no one ever was!*"
Her Pokemon giggled. "*To catch them is* - someone pass me the soap please!"
A Gastly appeared in front of her, and handed her the soap. "Thanks, Gastly. WAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!! You're not going anywhere!! Go, STARYU!!!"
Staryu was having a fine time splashing, and had no intention of leaving it to battle some ghost.
"Fiiinnne!!! Go, um..." she was reluctant, "POKéBALL!!!!!!!"
The Pokeball engulfed Gastly for a sec before he escaped and took off. "WAITT!!" she yelled. She decided to let him go.
-=* * *=-
All the people gathered around in the hall of the dormitory. Angela clapped her hands for attention.
"Everyone! Please! Attention!" she said. "All people will share 4 to a cabin and please fill it up! I don't want to waste any space!"
Brock went up to Angela. "Hey...what room are you sleeping in?"
"None of your business, perv!" she said.
Brock was a bit taken back. Then Misty and Ash went over to him, along with a girl with a blonde ponytail.
"Brock? Finished getting rejected?" asked Ash, waving his hand up and down in front of Brock's face.
"Huh???? Oh, yeah..." said Brock.
"This is Lana, and she's an archaeologist slash Pokemon trainer!" said Misty. "She specializes in rock and ground Pokemon, because it's like the fossils she finds."
"Hi! You must be Brock! So you like rock Pokemon too!" said Lana.
Brock forgot all about Angela and became attached to Lana.
"My name is actually Alana, but people call me Lana." said Lana. She smiled, her green eyes twinkling.
Brock felt his heart melting away.
"Well...this is our cabin!" said Ash, coming to the end of the corridor. He went in and switched on the lights. They flickered and then turned on. "Gee.. this looks like a cell."
"No it doesn't!" Misty whapped him on the head. Misty threw her bag on the top bunk. "Here, Lana, be my bunk buddy."
"...my twin brother is also here, his name is Ian, and he specialises in the fire type..." Lana was saying to Brock. "Misty? Oh!"
Lana walked over to where Misty was and placed her bag down. "Where was I? Oh yes, our Pokemon are both very weak against water..."
"BBRRRRRROOOOCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!" said Ash, finally getting his attention.
"Huh! Oh Ash!!! Yeah, what?" said Brock.
"Misty and I decided, just in case a ghost comes, we'll let out two of our Pokemon to sleep with us for protection. And don't take out anything as big as _ONIX_." said Ash.
"Fine!" said Brock. Ash took out his Pikachu and Bulbasaur for protection, and Misty had Togepi and Staryu. Brock had his Vulpix and Geodude guard to him. Lana took out her Geodude and Sandshrew.
"You have a Geodude too?" asked Brock.
"Yes. Her name is the Iron Maiden, and she's my Geodude." Lana hugged her Geodude, which had a pink ribbon laced up in her, um, 'hair'. Brock's Geodude went up to Iron Maiden, and they went to where to other Pokemon were having their own conference.
"And this is my Sandshrew, and her name is Sandi, you know...SANDshrew, SANDi like that?" said Lana.
Ash and Misty stared at each other as Brock and Lana continued to rabble on about Pokemon on Cloud Nine.
-=* * *=-
In the other side of the cell, er, room, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Togepi, Staryu, Vulpix, Sandshrew, Geodude and the pink ribboned Geodude had their own little conference just in case they encounter a...well, ghost.
"Pika-pika-pi, pikachu!" Pikachu said. (Whatever you do, remember to protect the baby!)
"Bulba bulba bulbasaur!" Bulbasuar agreed.
"Vullll!!!" said Vulpix. (Togepi's laughing at us!)
Indeed, Togepi was giggling. "To-grrrrrre-piiiii!!!" said Togepi. (Tee hee... adults are scared of ghosts!)
Staryu and Sandi had no opinion whatsoever. The two Geodudes were on Cloud Nine as their trainers were.
"Pika..." Pikachu sighed.
-=* * *=-
"Well...Good night!!!!" said Lana, switching of the lights and returning to her bunk. "Everyone have your torches? And your Pokemon?"
"Yeah! Good night, Lana." said Misty.
-=* * *=-
In the room across the corridor, Team Rocket was sharing a cabin with Angela and Lana's twin, Ian. However, they were not as prepared.
"James???? Why did you ever choose to share a cabin with that bossy Angela? And that silent Ian??? Ian's almost like a Gastly!!!!" hissed Jesse.
"What, Jesse?????? I'm scared to share a cabin alone!!" said James.
"Whatever. And did you realize that the twerp gang's cabin is right next to US??????"
"No!"
-=* * *=-
Ash shone his torch down. Brock stared straight UP.
"AHHHH!!!!" screamed Ash, until he realized it was Brock.
"Goodness...Ash...what da hell did you think you were doing, reading at night like that???" muttered Brock, rubbing his eyes from the light.
Lana and Misty woke up from Ash's scream. "Ash!! YOU woke _ME_ from _MY_ beauty sleep!!!" screamed Misty.
"Misty, please, calm down..." said Lana. She heard Togepi crying.
"Now you made Togepi cry!!!!!" accused Misty. She rocked Togepi. "Rock-a-bye baby..." she sang.
Everyone in the room, including the Pokemon, put their hands to their ears. Misty's off-tune singing made Togepi cry even harder.
Lana, Ash, and Brock held their ears until they saw something behind Misty.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they took off outside and straight into the hall with their Pokemon. "G-G-GHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!"
Misty, still inside the room, growled. "Sneaking away in the middle of my song????" Then she saw that only she and Togepi were the only ones inside. Other than...
"A Gastly?" said Misty. "Go STARYU!!! Get GASTLY!!!!!!" Staryu wasn't there.
Suddenly Ash, Lana, and Brock came back inside with the Pokemon. Ash, seizing the opportunity, said, "Go, PIKACHU!"
Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder, and prepared for his attack. "PIKAAA-"
Gastly suddenly disappeared.
"-chu?" said Pikachu.
Gastly reappeared in front of Ash. "AHHHHH!!!!" said Ash.
Pikachu took the opportunity to thunderbolt Gastly. "PIKKAAACCCCHUUUUU!"
Gastly dropped down. Ash took an empty Pokéball out of his pocket and threw it at Gastly. Gastly moved around, and suddenly his energy died down. He belonged to Ash now.
"YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!" Ash ran over to the Pokeball.
"Good on you, Ash!" said Lana.
"Great, Ash!!!" said Brock.
-=* * *=-
In a certain cabin across the hallway, a certain blue-haired boy was very scared. And a certain pink-haired girl was very angry. And a certain purple- haired woman was very annoyed. And a certain red-haired boy was very silent.
The certain people were revealed to be James, Jesse, Angela and Ian. And James suddenly saw something he did not want to see.
"G-G-GHOST!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed James. He and Jesse immediately jumped out and ran into the cabin across. Angela and Ian remained calm.
"You can catch it." said Angela. "I'm only a host. You're the ones meant to catch them."
Ian nodded and took out a Pokeball. It opened and revealed a Ponyta. Using some sort of telepathy, the Ponyta obeyed Ian's command and charged at Haunter. It was useless. Ponyta ran straight into a wall.
On another command of telepathy, Ponyta sent a fire blast, severely burning Haunter.
Ian returned Ponyta and sent out Growlithe. Growlithe embered Haunter, and Ian threw a Pokeball at it. Haunter didn't even struggle and was now Ian's.
-=* * *=-
In the room across the corridor, Jesse was on Lana's bed and James was on Brock's.
"I'm sooo scared, Jesse!!!!!" said James.
"Shut up, James!!!!!" said Jesse.
"Huh? Jesse and James?" said Brock.
"So it's the twerps again!!!" said Jesse.
"I'm so tired...I don't wanna fight..." Ash dug into his covers after his very stressing catch.
"Then it's me and Misty's go!!!" said Brock. "Misty, let's go!!!"
Misty was also asleep.
"Fine, Lana!!! Let's battle them!!!" said Brock.
"I've never challenged Team Rocket..." said Lana nervously.
"Don't worry, they're easy!!!"
"Prepare for trouble!!!!!" said Jesse.
"Make it double!!" said James.
"To protect the-" Jesse was rudely interrupted when a Geodude with a pink ribbon in her *hair* knocked her. The same happened to James when a Geodude without a ribbon knocked him.
"Go Arbok!!" said Jesse, making a big show of chucking the ball.
"Go Weezing!!" said James, making an even bigger show of chucking the ball.
The two Pokemon came out and looked at their attackers.
"Geodude!!!! Tackle attack!!" Brock and Lana yelled at once.
"Arbok!!! Wrap!!!"
"Weezing!! Smog!!"
The Geodudes perfectly synchronized and tackled the two Pokemon to the ground. Then they proceeded to bounce on them. The two Pokemon finally fainted.
"Go Meowth!!" Jesse and James chucked their companion to face the Geodudes.
"What?? HEY!!" Meowth was left to be thumped by the two Geodudes. Jesse and James realized they had no Pokemon left, and ran off, yelling something about Team Rocket running off again.
Angela and Ian suddenly bursted into the room. "So Team Rocket was here again and then ran away, huh???" said Angela.
"Yeah..." said Lana. "Ash, Misty, Brock, this is my twin brother, Ian. He specializes with the fire type."
Ash and Misty had woken up due to the very loud sounds of combat. Ian nodded at them as a sign of hello. Misty, being a bit to rude this time, said to him, "Are you dumb?" (As in, can you talk?)
He nodded. "He just doesn't like speaking." said Lana.
"Oh..." Misty blushed.
"Geez...what a night...two ghosts...Team Rocket...wow..." muttered Ash, giving himself a stretch.
"Well, children, you'd better go to sleep." said Angela, as she and Ian returned to their room.
-=* * *=-
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Lana boarded onto the bus tiredly, like all the other trainers. The only people who didn't have bags under their eyes were Ian and Angela.
"What a night..." muttered Ash, giving yet another yawn.
Misty only nodded in agreement. "...Team...R-rocket woke me up from my beauty sleep..."
Lana was already asleep next to Brock, and she was slightly leaning on his shoulder. Something Brock didn't know and wouldn't have minded.
Angela was talking about the night excitedly with Ian, who nodded and shook his head. Misty stared at them in amazement.
"Gee...they slept as little as we did...how come they're so awake..."
Angela stood up and told the tourists, "We we now be going to a underground tunnel, where we will be looking for ground and rock-type Pokemon."
"Yes!!!!" Lana and Brock seemed happy.
"Nooo!!!" said Misty.
The bus soon took off, and are heading to Rock Tunnel. What will they encounter there??? Find it all out on Chapter 2: Underground Crisis!
========================================================================
The author fell on top of the keyboard. "Phewwwwww!!!" she says very tiredly. "What a night!!!!"
She boards back onto the bus, and sat behind Misty. And like Misty, she also fell asleep.
"...z...zz...zzz...zzzz..." And realizing that you were staring, she wakes up and says in a Misty voice, "No, I'm not male, I don't snore!!!"
========================================================================

Send all fanmail and hatemail, death threats, pictures, ads, and anything Pokemon related (or any anime, actually) to my email address, as listed above. Please don't steal any ideas unless you ask me!! Especially the McPokemon one. I love that one, it's my best idea so far.
