Ash Ketchum, a trainer from Pallet Town, looked over at his friend Iris. She had poofy hair that bounced with every step. "Hey Iris," he called to her, "you wanna have a Pokemon battle?"
"No thanks Ash, my six sense is tingling.." she replied as her Axew stuck it's head out of her hair. He pointed toward something off in the woods. "What is it, Axew?" she asked stopping.
Cilan, a green haired guy, stopped too. "What do you suppose it is?" he asked looking toward the forest.
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out!" Ash said as he ran into the forest.
"Ash stop!" Cilan and Iris yelled in usion._
Ash looked around, his eyes lingered on something colorful by the trunk of a tree. He came closer to find it was a female Meowth with long purple hair that ended with red, her paws were light blue so were her ears, her fur was pink and coverd in dirt.
Ash soon realized the girl Meowth was unconscious. He picked her up in his arms, "Maybe Iris and Cilan will know what to do.." he whispered as he walked back the way he came.
Cilan sighed, "How long has he been in there?" he asked, "A sassy taste with a rough taste, this won't end well!"
Iris rolled her eyes, "Cilan, it's no time for your-" she was cut off as Ash ran forward.
"Guys! Look! This Pokemon needs our help!"
Iris ran over and took the Meowth in her arms. "Wow..she's beautiful.." she whispered taking in every feature.
"Yea she is.." Ash whispered looking over her shoulder.
"We should give her some medecine right?" Cilan said, breaking the moment.
"Yea that's right!" Iris said as she placed the Meowth in Cilan's arms. She took off her backpack and started rummaging through it. "I have just enough herbs to make medecine to wake her up, but I need herbs for her fever..hmm..I'll be back!" She yelled as she ran into the woods.
Cilan sighed, "Great she's gone..Ash.."
"Yea?" Ash said looking at him.
"Do you..like Iris?"
"Yea, she's my friend!"
"No, I mean do you like like her?"
"Oh.." Ash paused, "no not really, do you?"
Cilan turned red, "W-what? W-why would you think that?"
"You do like her!" Ash said tauntingly.
"Alright! I do..please don't tell her.."
Ash didn't reply as Iris ran toward them holding strange herbs. "I found them!" she said smiling.
After a few minutes of smushing and mixing the herbs, she came over to Cilan, who had the Meowth in his arms. Iris bent over and carefuly poured the mixture into the mouth of the sleeping kat.
Slowly she opened her eyes, seeing the smiling faces above her, she smiled.
"She's awake.." Cilan whispered.
"Yea.." Iris whispered back.
"Why are we whispering?" the kat asked.
Cilan's and Iris's eyes went wide. "SHE CAN TALK!" they yelled in usion.
"Yea I can talk..the name's Lyra by the way.." the kat said getting out of Cilan's grasp, "Now if you will excuse me.."
"Wait!" Iris yelled suddenly, causing Lyra to turn in shock, "Would you like to, you know, join us on our quest?"
Lyra felt tears come to her eyes, she just met them and they already want her as a companion. "Do you really want me to come with you?" she asked.
"Yea," said Ash, who just joined them, "Who wouldn't want a talking Meowth with them?"
"Her name is Lyra!" Iris snapped.
"I would love to be your companion," she said giving Ash a glare, "I would go with with you on your quest." She did a bow, "I promise to help you in-"
"No need for the promises," Cilan said interupting her, "we know you would be there for us, beacause that's what friends do."
"We're..fired?" Jessie asked in shock.
"Yes, you and them, have screwed up to many times." the boss said.
"But, sir what happens to us?" James asked.
"You two will go on living as citizens, while Meowth," he grinned, "will be left to die in the woods."
Meowth looked up, eyes wide, "B-but sir I-"
"No buts!" the boss yelled, "This is my final word."
Two guards came in and grabed Meowth. He kicked and screamed, scratching them, but to his surprise they were wearing armor of some sort. They carried him toward a Team Rocket helicopter.
Iris took Cilan's hand in hers. "He's right, we will always be there for you too."
Cilan's heart skipped a beat. "Yea we'll be there.." he said blushing, butterflies in his stomache.
Ash snickered at his friend's shyness. "And we'll be there hand in hand!" he said grinning.
Iris looked down, his hand in hers. She looked up into Cilan's green eyes, that made her melt. She blushed and looked away, not dareing to pull her hand away.
Lyra watched this moment with a smile. Her ears perked, as the sound of buzzing reached them.
The others heard it too, as they looked up to see a helicopter, with a familiar red R, fly over them. They watched as the door opened, and a Pokemon was shoved out of it. A ear-peircing scream followed as it fell and disapeared into the trees. The helicopter then flew away, as if the job was done.
Iris and Cilan stood up, still holding each other's hand. "How cruel!" yelled Iris.
"Yea!" yelled Cilan.
They looked at each other, before running toward where the Pokemon was thrown out. What they found shocked them in a way that they never expected. _
Meowth opened his eyes slowly, his eyes focosed on the three people surrounding him. He jumped back away from them, "Not you twerps!" he said in shock.
"Well we're surprised to see you too! Another plan to steal Pokemon right, Meowth?" asked Ash.
"I wish it was just that," he paused looking at their shocked faces, then he saw her. Her purple hair flew in the wind as she stood there, her back to him. She turned her dazzling aqua green eyes shining in the sunlight. She winked making him melt. "Who is that?" he asked, blushing.
They turned toward who he was looking at and they smiled, "That is our companion, Lyra." answered Cilan. They all turned back toward Meowth.
"Lyra.." Meowth whispered, before snapping back to reality, "the boss..fired us.."
They all gasp, "Why would he fire you?" Iris asked.
"He said we screwed up so many times and that we weren't worth it anymore.." Meowth said sadly.
The girl (Me) sitting at her computer realizes something, "Where is Pikachu?" _
Pikachu runs out of the woods, and climbs onto Ash's shoulder. Pikachu noticed Meowth and without warning used Thunder Shock (Unsure if right attack)
Meowth fell backwards completely shocked by this move. He soon got back up his claws out ready to do Scratch.
Ash grabed Pikachu while Iris grabed Meowth. "No need to fight guys.." said Cilan with a nervous chuckle.
"He started it!" Meowth yelled.
"Pikachu, pikachu!" Pikachu replied. (Well, you shouldn't be here! You piece of crap!)
"Take that back!"
"PI-KA-CHU!" (PIECE. OF. CRAP!)
"Let me kill 'im!"
"Now boys,"
Meowth and Pikachu turned to see Lyra walk over to them.
"No need to fight," she continued, moving over to Pikachu, "A cute guy like you shouldn't fight," she said as she pinched Pikachu's cheek, causing him to blush, "Now you," she turned toward Meowth, "Someone as handsome as you, should never get in a fight," she placed her paw on his cheek, "handsome guys don't fight.." she whispered in his ear.
Lyra pulled away, she went over to Cilan and sat down next to him.
The two Pokemons ignored each-other the rest of the day. Lyra smiled watching them, Meowth would walk one way, see Pikachu, and walk the other way. "You know they listened to you," Iris, who was sitting next to her, said, "I guess boys are boys.."
"Yea," Lyra replied, "I guess I have the touch." she smiled, "You know Meowth has something about him that makes me smile.." she blushed, "I'm n-not saying I like him.."
"Your secret is safe with me," Iris winked, "You know Cilan?"
"Yea.." Lyra said turning to look at him. He was making his tasty sandwiches.
"I-I really like him.." Iris continued blushing, "D-do you think he notice's me?"
Lyra smirked, "Well, he allowed you to hold his hand.." she paused to look back at him, he had also turned to look at them, but meeting her eyes he turned away. "I think you should tell him.."
Iris blushed, "I-I think it will take time.." she paused, "maybe you should-"
"Don't say it!" Lyra interupted, "I can't do it, the thought of being rejected.." she sighed, "I never told anyone but, when I was a kitten.." she told Iris everything, about how her parrents abandonned her for being diferent, how the boy beat her, and how she learned to talk.
Iris wrapped her arms around her, "I will tell no one.." Lyra beleived her, a weight that burdened her was now lifted.
