Chapter 1 - The Pocket Monster Gashat

In the CR, Asuna, now dressed as Poppy Pipopapo, can be seen talking to Kuroto Dan through the laptop about the new Gashat that he's been developing.

"Poppy, I want you to come to my office." Kuroto said.

"Is there something wrong, President?" Poppy asked.

"I just wanted you to take this new Gashat that I recently finished." Kuroto replied.

"Alright! I'll be right there!" Poppy excitedly said.

He then cuts off the line and goes off, but he encountered Hiiro along the way.

"Where are you going?" Hiiro asked.

"Oh, I'm going to Genm Corp. to pick up the new Gashat that he's been developing." Poppy answered.

"What?!" Hiiro shockingly said. "But I thought all of the Gashats were stolen by Graphite."

"Well, he made another one after that incident." Poppy explained.

"Only one?" Hiiro asked again.

"He said he only created one. I'm not sure if he'll create more Gashats." Poppy explained. "Anyway, I better get going. Bye!"

Poppy then leaves the CR by going downstairs, leaving Hiiro alone in the room. While eating the cake, he begin to wonder why the President only make one Gashat.

"I wonder why he only create one Gashat..." Hiiro wondered. "And who is meant to have it?"

Meanwhile, in some unknown place, a black-haired man who is wearing a black jacket can be seen talking to someone through what seems to be a tablet.

"How were things in there, Graphite?" The man asked.

"This word is really interesting, Parad." Graphite answered. "These...Pokemons are a perfect subject to this new virus that we just created."

"Hmm, that's interesting." Parad said. "I wanted to go in there, but I had some unfinished business here."

"Hmph!" Graphite smirked, disappointed that Parad's not gonna come.

"Don't worry, though. I'll keep you in touch." Parad said.

"Alright, I have some testing to do." Graphite responded.

"I'll be looking forward to that." Parad said as he cuts off the conversation.

We then see Graphite confronting the two about the virus.

"Hey, you two! How's the testing?" Graphite asked.

"It worked perfectly!" Butch responded as he showed a Sandslash that has red eyes and it seems to be mutated, almost resembling a Bugster.

"Excellent!" Graphite said. "Now the virus can't be cured."

"Alright, now that you helped us, what are you going to do?" Cassidy asked.

"I'll keep you provided with the Bugster virus." Graphite answered.

Meanwhile, back at the CR, Emu has recently arrived and he is surprised that only Hiiro is in the room.

"Huh? You're the only one here?" Emu asked. "Where's Asuna?"

"She's in the Genm Corp. to pick up the new Gashat that the President created." Hiiro answered.

"A new Gashat?" Emu asked. "I've never heard her mentioning it to me."

"I've only heard of it recently, so you're not the only one..." Hiiro responded.

After that, Poppy arrived with the new Gashat in her hand.

"I'm here!" Poppy said. "Ah, Emu, you're here. Great timing!"

She then presented the new Gashat to Emu.

"Is this the new Gashat that Hiiro's talking about?" Emu asked.

"Yes, it's the Pocket Monster Gashat!" Poppy answered.

"Pocket Monster? Isn't that a game where you catch Pokemons and train them to fight against Pokemon Trainers?" Emu asked.

"Correct!" Poppy happily answered.

"But why gives this to me?" Emu asked again.

"The President wants you to test the Gashat, since you're a genius gamer." Poppy explained.

"Oh, okay!" Emu said.

Emu was about to activate the Gashat, but Hiiro and Poppy interrupted him.

"If you're going to activate the Gashat, don't do it here." Hiiro said.

"We should go outside..." Poppy said.

Emu, Hiiro and Poppy then goes outside the hospital to test the Gashat. Outside the hospital, Emu has already transformed into Ex-Aid Level 2 and Poppy goes back to her Asuna identity.

"Now, the President said that it goes to the second slot and then level up." Asuna explained.

"Got it!" Emu said as he pressed the button of the Gashat.

POCKET MONSTER!

Emu then flips the lever back and inserts it into the second slot.

GASHAT!

"Dai-Dai-Dai Henshin!" Emu shouted as he flips the lever back to the other side.

GACCHAN! LEVEL UP!

A portal then appears in front of Emu and runs into it. However, it damages him instead.

"Auugh!" Emu screams in pain.

"Emu!" Asuna shouted.

"What just happened?" Hiiro asked.

"I don't know."

Before he could try again, the new Gashat has malfunctioned, causing him to glow white.

"What's happening?" Emu asked.

"Take out the Gashat, quickly!" Asuna shouted.

Emu tries to take out the Gashat, but it won't take out.

"I can't! It won't take out!" Emu complained.

Poppy then goes to take it out herself, but it still won't take out.

"That's strange...Why won't it take out?" Asuna asked.

They both tried to take it out, but to no avail. After some time, a bright light engulfs both Asuna and Hiiro and after that, he disappeared.

"Emu!" Asuna shouted.

"Did he...disappeared?" Hiiro asked.

"No, it can't be!" Poppy said as she begins to cry.

But then, the black Ex-Aid appeared, in his Level 3 form once again.

"It seems that Ex-Aid has been teleported somewhere..." The black Ex-Aid said.

"Teleported? What do you mean?" Hiiro asked.

"That Gashat is actually a teleporter. When inserted into the Gamer Driver, the user will be teleported to another world." The black Ex-Aid explained.

"No way..." Poppy said, cannot believe that the Gashat is fake.

"How did you know that?" Hiiro asked.

"I'm afraid you're not gonna know about that..." The black Ex-Aid said as he took out the Shakariki Sports Gashat from the Gamer Driver and inserts it into the Kimewaza Slot Holder.

GASHAT! KIMEWAZA!

He then presses the button on the Kimewaza Slot Holder.

SHAKARIKI CRITICAL STRIKE!

"Run!" Hiiro shouted as he helps Poppy get up and runs away from the black Ex-Aid

He then fires one of the wheels on both Hiiro and Poppy. They managed to dodge it, but the explosion caught them. As the dust settles, the Black Ex-Aid disappears.

"Are you okay?" Asuna asked as she helps Hiiro get up.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Hiiro responded.

"Come on, let's get you back to the hospital." Asuna said as they get back to the hospital.

As they were going back to the hospital, you can see that the fake Gashat is on the ground, covered by the grass.

Meanwhile, in the Johto region, May can be seen walking around Route 39 as she is on her way to Olivine City to compete in a Pokemon Contest.

"Oh, boy! I can't wait to participate in a Pokemon Contest with this Mega Evolution thing." May said. "I bet Drew and the others are gonna be jealous."

As she walk towards Olivine City, somewhere in the same path, a white glow shaped like a person can be seen. It stopped glowing, revealing Emu. After that, he faints.

"Oh, if only Ash were here, I could have shown him the Mega Evolution..." May said as he still walking.

However, on the way, she saw Emu lying on the ground.

"Oh, no!" May shockingly said as she goes towards him. "Hey, are you okay?"

Emu doesn't response.

"H-Hold on! I'll call Nurse Joy!" May said as he quickly ran until she arrived in Olivine City.

She then saw a Pokemon Center and quickly rush in there.

"Nurse Joy!" May shouted.

"What is it, young lady?" Nurse Joy asked.

"I've found someone unconscious!" May said in a panic.

"What?!" Nurse Joy shockingly said.

Nurse Joy and May goes outside the Pokemon Center and to where Emu is.

"Oh dear..." Nurse Joy said. "Help me carry him all the way to the Pokemon Center"

"Okay." May said as she and Nurse Joy carried him to the Pokemon Center.

Several Minutes Later...

May can be seen waiting at the Pokemon Center and then Nurse Joy came out.

"How was he, Nurse Joy?" May asked.

"He seems to be fine. He was only unconscious. as you said. Once he woke up, he can freely leave." Nurse Joy responded.

"Oh, thank god." May said in a relief.

"I have a request for you." Nurse Joy said.

"What is it?" May asked.

"Could you go there and take care of him?" Nurse Joy asked. "I still have this Pokemon scan going on."

"Alright, I'll do it." May answered.

"Thank you." Nurse Joy said. "Now, I'll lead you there now."

They both goes towards to where Emu is resting. Meanwhile, in the secret hideout, Butch and Cassidy can be seen testing the Pokemon-Bugster hybrid of Sandslash into battle against another Sandslash infected by their own virus through simulation.

"Alright, let's see if this virus will do us any good." Cassidy said.

The battle begins. At first, the second Sandslash is at the advantage, but he was soon overwhelmed by the power of the hybrid Sandslash and he managed to defeat it a lot quicker.

"Hmm...This new virus is giving them more power." Butch said, impressed by the hybrid's power.

"Wow! I've never seen such power before..." Cassidy said.

"Alright! With this, no one can stop this Pokemon from rampaging!" Butch said.

"But where do you think you'll send this Sandslash to?" Cassidy asked.

"Oh, I know where I'll send it to..." Butch answered as he showed the map of Johto to Cassidy and he points at Olivine City.

"Hmm...That might be a good idea to start." Cassidy said.

Meanwhile, back to the Seito University Hospital, Asuna and Hiiro are on the CR, discussing about how to save Emu.

"How are we supposed to bring Emu back here?" Asuna asked.

"I don't know..." Hiiro answered.

"I'm going to ask the President about this." Asuna said as she brings out the laptop to contact Kuroto.

"Oh, Poppy. How was the testing?" Kuroto asked.

"The Gashat you gave me was a fake!" Asuna angrily said.

"What are you talking about?" Kuroto asked, confused as to what she could be talking about.

"It teleported him from another world instead of giving him another form." Asuna said.

"How was that possible?" Kuroto asked, confused again.

"Maybe that black Ex-Aid has something to do with it." Hiiro said.

"Hmm, let's see what I can do to locate Emu." Kuroto said.

"Please do." Asuna said.

"I'll inform you once if I find something." Kuroto said.

He then cuts off the conversation. Asuna then gets a phone call and answered it.

"What is it?" Hiiro asked.

"Another Bugster just appeared!" Asuna answered.

"Then let's go!" Hiiro said as he and Asuna goes off to where the Bugster is.

See you next game!
