Pokétrek Chapter 3
The Pokémon Life

Neelix, Tom, Chakotay, Harry, Tuvok, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Jeanela all head over to Jeanela's house.

Tom – "Hay Ash, Misty, Brock can I see your other Pokémon?"

Ash – "Sure."

Misty – "Why don't we wait untill we get to Jeanela's house."

Tom – "OK."

Neelix – "Brock how many Pokémon do you have."

Brock – "Now I have three. When I was a gym leader in Pewter city I had two Pokémon, later I found a Zubat when near Mt. Moon."

Harry – "What about you Ash?"

Ash – "I have seven Pokémon; Pikachu here was my first Pokémon. When I caught my last Pokémon Crabby it disappeared, and that's when I found out trainers can only carry six Pokémon at a time."

Harry – "Jeanela, didn't you eat one of those?"

Ash just makes a disgruntled expression.

As the group continues toward Jeanela's house they pass lots of trees. In some of the trees they can see little Spearow perched in the branches.

Chakotay points up at the Spearow and says, "What are those?"

Jeanela – "Those are Spearow. There are quit a few of those Pokémon around here."

Ash enthusiastically – "I'm gonna catch one."

Brock – "I don't know if that's such a good idea Ash."

Misty – "Yea, they may all come after you."

Jeanela – "There are Fearow in these woods too. If you get the Fearow mad you will be in big trouble. Let's just keep going, we are almost at my house."

Tom – "So I guess you like to catch Pokémon Ash?"

Ash – "Of course, I'm going to be the worlds best Pokémon master."

Harry – "Wow, that's quite a goale."

Neelix – "Hay Jeanela."

Jeanela – "Yes Neelix."

Neelix – "Can I help you and Brock cook when we get to your house?"

Jeanela – "Sure if it's OK with Brock."

Brock – "I don't mind what are we going to cook?"

Tom – "I like fried rice."

Neelix – "I can make just about anything."

Brock – "That's great."

Jeanela – "I have plenty of pork, and lots of rice. I have noodles and vegetables too. Hay why don't we just through everything together and make a stir fry."

Brock – "That sounds good. We can make spaghetti stir fried with vegetables and pork."

Jeanela – "And we can have some rice balls on the side."

Tom – "What are we going to have to drink?"

Jeanela – "How about some herbal tea, Mystic and I love to drink herbal tea."

Misty – "That sounds wonderful."

Neelix – "I can make cheesecake."

Jeanela – "That sounds delusions."

Brock – "Great. If we have some berries I can make a nice topping."

Jeanela – "I have lots of different berries."

Jeanela – "Look, we are here."

Ash – "I don't see anything."

Jeanela – "I live in the woods behind the trees."

In the distance there is a large clearing. Behind the clearing there is a large forest. In the center of the forest there is an opening between the trees.

The group heads into the forest, and then they all see the castle like house.

Misty – "Wow, it's like a castle, it's beautiful."

Ash – "This is your house?"

Jeanela – "Yes, This is my house. This house has bean passed down through many generations."

The entire group all heads into Jeanela's castle like house, lead first my Jeanela, then Brock and Neelix, followed by the rest of the gang.


Jeanela and Brock first put the groceries on the counter, which divides the kitchen from the dinning room.

Jeanela – "Great I have not had a time I needed to expand the table since... Well the last time was months ago."

Jeanela folds out a leaf in the table expanding it to fit 2 more people. The living room is just big enough for six people to sit comfortably. Luckily Jeanela has a separate kitchen.

Everyone except for Jeanela, Brock, and Neelix all sit down at the table in the dining room."

Just before Mystic goes to sit down it looks at Jeanela.

Jeanela – "You can sit down too Mystic, Brock and Nee..."

Neelix – "Neelix."

Jeanela – "That was right, Neelix. It is not like me to forget a name, but with Tom, Tuvox, Tuvok, Haarry, Chakotay, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Neelix, eight new people, it's hard to remember all your names."

Jeanela – "What was it that I was saying?"

Tuvok – "You where saying that Mystic can sit down."

At this point Mystic has already sat down.

Jeanela – "Thank you Tuvok, you can sit down too Mystic, Neelix and Brock are helping me cook today."

Jeanela turns to Neelix and Brock and says, "Thank you again for helping me to cook."

Neelix – "It is my pleasure Jeanela."

Brock – "Mine too; it's nice to have people to cook with."

Jeanela – "Hay Ash, Brock, and Misty, you can let your Pokémon out. Err. Wait maybe it would be better if you let them out, out side. In actuality it is very beautiful out side, and my yard is much larger then this old small house. So after we cook we will all go out side, if that sounds like a good idea."

Ash and Misty – "That sounds like a great idea."

Jeanela gets out her wok, and Brock starts preparing the pork and vegetables.

Neelix – "Can I get a pot to fill up with water?"

Jeanela – "This is to small of a kitchen, can you please wait Neelix. After Brock and I start the main course you may take over, while we set the table."

Neelix – "That will do. I will just wait um, right beside the kitchen."

Jeanela – "Thank you Neelix. I really appreciate all the help."

Neelix – "It's no problem at all."

Jeanela takes the pot out hands it over to Brock. But Brock is still chopping.

Finally they get the pork on the wok and the spaghetti boiling in the pot.

Ash – "That smells really great!"

Jeanela – "Neelix would you like to take over."

Neelix – "I'll be glad to."

Neelix is a one man show, not hampered by another cook in the way he gracefully goes from the spaghetti to the wok to the home made cheesecake.

He looks pleased as he goes from one thing to the next.

Jeanela – "Are you doing well in there?"

Neelix – "This food is coming out great. You both used some great spices for the pork."

Jeanela – "That was Brock's choice of seasoning."

Brock – "Yea, I even made some Pokémon food."

Neelix – "Wait until you try my cheesecake, your going to love it."

Brock and Jeanela finish setting the table.

Harry – "I thought we where going to eat out side."

Jeanela – "We where going to eat out side. Everyone is already sitting inside now. You can eat out side if you want to. Let's just wait until supper's ready. Neelix, do you need any help."

Neelix – "I have everything under control here cap- I mean Jeanela."

Tom laughs and then says – "You where going to say captain."

Harry – "Speaking of the captain we should probably report back to voyager."

Tom – "What are we taking turns?"

Harry – "Looks like it."

Harry takes out his communicator.

Harry – "Harry to the bridge come in captain."

Captain – "What is it Harry."

Harry – "We are in a house about to have supper with 4 people we meet on this planet."

Captain – "How has your rapport been with them?"

Harry – "Great, in fact two of them are cooking us a nice supper with the help of Neelix now."

Captain – "I expect a full sample of this male as soon as it is done, understood?"

Harry – "Understood Captain. We are learning a lot down here. And the people are teaching us many things about this world."

Captain – "I'm anxious to get a full report, when you arrive back on voyager."

Ash (quietly) – "She sounds kind of bossy."

Captain Janeway – "I heard that! Is that one of the humanoid aliens that said that?"

Harry – "I think so."

Captain – "Can I talk to him?"

Harry – "I don't see why not."

Misty – "Now look what you've done Ash. Don't you ever have any manners?"

Captain – "What is your name?"

Ash (nervously) – "uh, Ash, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."

Captain – "You have some Pokémon."

Ash – "Yes I have seven."

Captain – "I would like very much to see them. How do you get them in there Poké Ball."

Neelix – "Supper is ready."

Ash – "When I catch them they go in there. Then I throw the Poké Ball to get them out."

Captain – "That is quit an impressive technology."

Ash – "They sell lots of them down here."

Captain – "I see. After you are done with the meal I would like to know if you and your friends would be willing to accompany the explorers I sent down onto our ship."

Ash – "Wow, you mean we could really go into outer space?"

Misty – "That sounds like a lot of fun."

Jeanela – "I don't travel much."

Misty – "Come on Jeanela, it will be fun."

Jeanela – "OK but only if it's OK with my Alakazam Mystic."

Captain Janeway – "I will expect to see everyone at nineteen-hundred fifty hours. Oh and Ash, the reason I may seem to be so bossy is because I have a crew of thousands of people to maintain."

Captain – "Janeway, out."

At this time the food is all nicely arranged on the table. And since it is now only 6:12 PM (eighteen-hundred twelve hours) everyone still has over an hour before the trip to Voyager.

Harry – "We really must save a little for the Captain, or she will be really mad."

Jeanela – "Well I don't want to get her mad."

Everyone laughs.

Jeanela – "Hay Ash, Brock, Misty, do you want to come outside with me, and you can bring your Pokémon out."

Jeanela leaves with her plate.

Jeanela – "I will leave the door open."

Ash is not quite finished chewing his food and he says, "Oh yea, are Pokémon should enjoy this delicious Pokémon food Brock made."

Ash goes out side with his plate in his hand.

Ash takes one of his Poké Balls presses the button on it. It expands from 1 inch in diameter to 3 inches in diameter with a "blblblrup".

He throws it and says, "Come out Butterfree!", then with a "tong-shshing" Butterfree pops out.

Harry and Tom look in amazement.

Meanwhile Brock and Neelix are talking about recipes, while Brock is mixing berries for the cheesecake topping.

Ash does the same for his other 4 Pokémon as he calls them out.

Ash – "Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle."

Pikachu runs out side to where the other Pokémon are.

Jeanela points out a beautifully spring with a fountain of water rising up out of it.

Jeanela – "Do you like my fountain? You can let your water Pokémon go in if you like."

Misty throws her Poké Balls out into the spring as she says, "Come on out Staryu, Starmie, and Goldeen!"

Inside Jeanela's house Brock is just finishing spreading the topping on the cheesecake.

Brock and Neelix go out side.

Jeanela – "Tell Ash and Misty there Pokémon can drink from the spring in the back, the water stays pure and clean."

Jeanela gets the Pokémon bowls out and dishes the Pokémon generous helpings of the Pokémon food that Brock made."

Jeanela – "Brock, do you want to go out to eat another time? The only reason I want to know if you want to postpone this wonderful invitation you made is because we have a captain of a huge ship, waiting to meat us soon."

Brock – "OK, do you want to go out tomorrow."

Jeanela – "Tomorrow will be great, just you, Mystic, and me."

Brock – "Great!"

Tom and Harry come out side.

Chakotay turns to Tuvok and says, "Come on Tuvok."

Then Chakotay goes out side followed by Tuvok.

Jeanela – "Brock, you have some Pokémon to right?"

Brock – "Yea, come on out Onix, Geodude, Zubat."

The entire away team looks up at the huge Onix, raised over 14 feet off the ground and over 28 feet long. They (with the exception of Tuvok) look with an expression of utter amazement.

Neelix – "That, that huge creature came from one of those tiny little balls."

Brock holds up the 3inch diameter ball. Then presses the button on it which makes it shrink down to its compact 1 inch diameter form."

Tuvok (without any feeling in his voice) – "That is quite extraordinary."


Everyone finishes all the food on there plate, and in there bowls, and are fairly full. At this time Neelix is ready to bring out the desert; a delicious thick rich cheesecake with a boatful mixed berry topping. The berries on the cheesecake are mixed together in a beautiful swirl of color.

Neelix – "Jeanela, can I go in and get the cheesecake."

Jeanela – "Make sure you cut it into plenty of pieces first. Remember we have everyone here plus we have to save a nice big piece for the captain. And what about the Pokémon?"

Brock – "I put some extra berry topping especially for the Pokémon, on the side."

Neelix – "OK, I'll be right back."

Neelix goes inside and he cuts the cheesecake into 12 equal slices; one each for Neelix, Tom, Chakotay, Harry, Tuvok, Ash, Misty, Brock, Jeanela, two for the captain, and one for your wonderful narrator me.

Neelix comes out with the cheesecake and everyone is exited except Tuvok, who never seams to get exited or upset about anything.

Neelix – "Almost forgot."

Neelix goes back inside puts the cheesecake on the dinning room table, and brings out the extra berry topping for the Pokémon.

Everyone grabs a piece except Tuvok.

Harry brings a piece to Tuvok and says, "Come on try some."

Tuvok – "I do not know why people eat things with almost no nutritional value, simply because they are excessively sweetened."

Harry – "Come on Tuvok just try some."

Tuvok – "I will try a little."

Tuvok takes a small bite.

Tuvok – "It is quite good."

Tuvok takes another bite.

Tuvok – "Umm, these berries have a very interesting and pleasant taste."

Harry – "I told you, you would like it."

When everyone is finished there is only two pieces left with a cover on it and the words "Do not touch, Captain's only". And I didn't even get a piece. There is not a single berry of topping left over on the side.

Now, everyone is full.

Ash – "Wow, that was the most delicious meal I had ever had."

Harry – "Everything was really great."

Tuvok – "That was quite a meal."

Tom – "I'm stuffed, that was delicious."

Pikachu – "Pikachu."

Onix – "Grooow."

Butterfree – "Free, Free."

Jeanela – "It was very good."

Harry – "What time is it?"

Harry takes out his communicator and looks at it.

Harry – "We have about 15 minutes until we have to be on Voyager."

Tuvok takes out his communicator and looks at it.

Tuvok – "We have, exactly 19 minutes."

Jeanela – "I better get to cleaning up."

Brock – "I can do the dishes for you."

Jeanela – "Great, he cooks, and he does the dishes."

Jeanela takes everyone's plates and cups; she takes them inside and puts them in the sink.

After that Jeanela cleans the tables while Brock does the dishes.

Then Jeanela Brings the Pokémon bowls, and Brock washes those.

Neelix comes into the doorway of the house and says, "Would you like me to help?"

Jeanela (sweetly) – "Thank you Neelix, we have everything under control in here. Make sure everyone gets all of there Pokémon into there Poké Balls."

Neelix comes out side, and in a commanding voice he says, "OK everyone, Jeanela has asked everyone to get there Pokémon back in there Poké Balls."

Ash holds out one of his Poké Balls and says, "Butterfree return."

The Poké Ball puts out a red beam of light that hits the Butterfree, then the Poké Ball opens up and the Butterfree is absorbed into the Poké Ball.

Neelix – "That's incredible."

Ash, Misty, and Brock finish returning there Pokémon to there Poké Balls.

The only Pokémon that aren't in a Poké Ball is Pikachu, and Mystic (the Alakazam).

Neelix – "What about Pikachu Ash, he doesn't go into a Poké Ball?"

Ash – "No, Pikachu doesn't like going into a Poké Ball so he just stays out here with me."

Pikachu confirms – "Pikachu"

Harry – "It's almost nineteen-hundred thirty hours now; we should all head up to Voyager."

Tuvok goes to say something and just then a Jigglypuff comes out of the woods saying, "Jigglypuff, jigaly jigaly, jiggalypuff."

Tuvok – "Agreed."

Everyone groups together, each standing side by side, including Pikachu and Mystic.

No one notices the Jigglypuff, and the few that heard the sound just disregarded it as something trivial, possibly a sound far away; the wind or an echo maybe, and no one gave it a second thought.

Then Harry takes out his communicator.

Harry (on the communicator) – "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine people, and 2 Pokémon to beam up."

Jigglypuff – "Puff?"

Then Jigglypuff says happily as it runs to the group, "Jigglypuu, jigly jigly jiggalypuff."

Jigglypuff arrives at the group and looks at them curiously. Probably wondering why there all standing so still and gathered together.

Suddenly the whole group, Jigglypuff included all start to beam up together.

Jigglypuff – "ha?"

Harry – "Did you here something."

Then they all materialize into the transporter room in the star ship.

Tuvok – "It appears we have some uninvited company."

Tom – "Ha."

Jigglypuff (happily) – "Jigypuff, Jiggaly Jiggaly Jigalypuff."

Jigglypuff – "pu, Jiggaly, Ji, Jig Jiggalypuff?"

Narrator – "I'll translate that last sentence. Jigglypuff said 'Where is this place?'."

Jigglypuff was so exited about finding all these new people. Now Jigglypuff realizes its in a very different place, and is confused as how it got there and where this place is.

Tuvok – "What are we going to do with this creature?"

Jeanela – "It's just a Jigglypuff. This Jigglypuff will not be a big problem."

Jigglypuff – "puu", then it pushes its mouth together and puffs its self up.

Misty – "Why don't we just let Jigglypuff tag along with us for a while, then we can bring it back, when we beam back, down."

Jigglypuff relaxes its face and says happily – "Jigglypuff"
