Hey all, this is the 2nd chapter to my story, so lets get this started!

Chapter 2: The First Pokemon!

Syaoran and Co. run outside to find the source of the noise. Syaoran, Fai, and Kurogane go out in front, while Sakura and Mokona hang back.

Syaoran is the first to speak, "Who's there?!"

A female voice answers him, and as she is speaking, she rises form the mech. She has long red hair. "Listen, is that a brand new twerp's voice I hear?"

A male's voice continues, as he rises, Syaoran notices he has mid-length blue hair. "It speaks to me, loud and clear."

"On the wind!"

"Past the stars!"

A feline jumps out from the mech, "in your ear!"

"A rose by any name's just as sweet."

"When everything's worse, our work is complete."

"Jessie."

"James."

"Meowth, that's a name."

"Putting the do-gooders in their place."

"Dashing hope, putting fear in its place."

"We're Team Rocket, and we're in your face!"

Ash yells, "Team Rocket, get out of Pallet Town!"

The sun comes out from behind a cloud, revealing the mech. "A giant Pikachu?!"

The three members of Team Rocket jump back inside the mech, and Meowth speaks into the microphone, "that's right twerp, the Pika-Mech Version I." He then presses a blue button, and glass spheres shoot out form its cheeks, capturing Pikachu and Mokona.

"Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Ash commands.

Pikachu's sphere lights up in a bright yellow, but nothing appeared to have happened.

"Hahahaha! You think we aren't prepared for that by now? Wrong!" Jesse says, cackling into the microphone. "Meowth, show them our mech's true power!"

"One thunderbolt, comin' right up!" He presses a yellow button, and the mech unleashes a thunderbolt, heading straight for Sakura!

"Princess Sakura!" Syaoran jumps in front of her, taking the full force of the lightning. He passes out shortly after the thunderbolt dies out.

"Fai! Tell Mokona to use a psybeam! It will hopefully work!" Ash yells.

"Sure, why not? Mokona, please use psybeam."

Mokona screams, almost as if in pain, but his jewel light up and he unleases his second beam. It shoots though his sphere, plows through the mech's head, and straight through Pikachu's sphere. Mokona and Pikachu jump to safety and the mech explodes.

"How could such a perfect plan be ruined like this?" Jessie asks.

"Cuz," states Meowth, "we didn't know what kind of attacks the white fluff-ball used, but we'll be ready next time."

"But for now…" James says.

"We're blasting off again!" Team Rocket screams in unison and they fly away into the sky.

"Syaoran!" Mokona yells, running to his side, "Syaoran, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Mokona."

"Good morning!" Syaoran opens his eyes to see a very large smiling face, "breakfast is almost ready, so come downstairs!" Mokona jumps off of Syaoran's chest and heads down the stairs.

Syaoran attempts to get out of bed, but there is a stabbing pain in his back, and he lies back down. "That lightning took a lot more out of me than I had expected…" He climbs out of bed and puts his traveling cloak on. Then he walks down the stairs.

"Ah, Syaoran," Fai says, "how are you feeling?"

"Fine," he says and sits down at the table, "what's for breakfast?"

Ash answers that question, "Mom's making pancakes, and Sakura is helping her. Syaoran, can I ask you something?"

"Um, sure, go ahead…"

"Would you like to go out and catch a Pokemon?"

"Catch?"

"Oh right, I was about to explain that, but Team Rocket showed up. Okay, we trainers befriend Pokemon using," he pulls out a small red and white marble, "these."

"What are they?"

"They're Pokeballs, when we press this button," he presses the button and it grows about three times in size, " it enlarges, and we throw it at wild Pokemon."

"Does it hurt them?"

"Well, to catch them, you have to weaken them, but they seem to enjoy the challenge."

"Sure, we'll go out after breakfast."

Mokona pops in, "Breakfast is served!" Sakura and Ash's mom lay out plates for everyone, and they begin to dig in.

The five people are standing in the middle of a field looking around for Pokemon.

"Hey, Ash!" Syaoran yells. "I found one!" They all run over as Syaoran runs back down a small hill. At the bottom is a small orange dog playing in the flowers. They all crowd behind a couple of bushes as Ash whispers to Syaoran.

"Wow, a Growlithe. I think it'll be a good fit for you. Okay, listen carefully, in a Pokemon battle, it's one-on-one, you take Mokona with you and fight it. Once it seems tired, take this," he reaches in his pocket and takes out a Pokeball, "enlarge it, and throw it at him, got it?"

"Yeah, thanks Ash, Mokona, ready to go?"

"Mokona-Modoki ready to go!" He hops on Syaoran's shoulder as Syaoran jumps out of the bushes.

"Mokona, use Hypnosis!" Mokona opens his eyes and sends out a wave, putting the Growlithe to sleep. "It's a good thing Ash went over Mokona's moves with us…"

"Okay, the Pokedex is not only a way to learn about Pokemon, it can also tell you whatt moves a Pokemon you caught knows."

"So what moves does Mokona know?" Asks Fai.

"Basic Psychic-type moves, Psy-beam, as we've seen. Hypnosis, which, when used, puts your foe to sleep. Psychic, which is much more powerful than Psy-beam, but takes more time to perform. Finally, he knows teleport, which teleports him to different parts of the battlefield, good for evasion."

"Ok, got it, thanks."

"Now that he's sleeping, I should use Psychic." Syaoran thinks, planning out a battle strategy. "Mokona! Use Psychic!"

Mokona's jewel lights up in a great array of colors. Then, about five seconds later, a white-hot beam shoot out and makes contact with the Growlithe, waking it up.

Weakened, but angered, it shoots out a fet of fire. Ash shouts from behind, "A Flamethrower!"

"Mokona, use Teleport!" Mokona's jewel turns blue and Mokona phases out, with the flamethrower rushing past where he was standing. The Growlithe looks around, searching for his opponent. Mokona phases in about ten feet behind Growlithe. "Mokona! Psybeam!" Mokona shoots the beam and Growlithe goes down. Syaoran enlarges the Pokeball he was holding and throws it.

The Pokeball captures Growlithe and begins shaking…

Great chapter! Syaoran and Co. defeat Team Rocket. Then Syaoran engages a Growlithe in hopes to catch his first Pokemon. Find out if he catches it in the next chapter. Also, I'm thinking about having the rest of the group, Sakura, Kurogane, and Fai, have their own Pokemon. However, I need some suggestions. So, request in the reviews or send an e-mail to The restrictions are: 1. The deadline is Sunday November 18, 2007 12:00 pm mountain time. 2. The Pokemon can't be from Sinnoh, the story takes place shortly after Hoenn. And that's it! So be creative and expect the story to go up on Wednesday November 21, 2007.
