Next chapter. Remember to follow the story and me for more.
Ash looked down. He and his friends had been falling for a couple of minutes now, but this time he looked down he saw something other than emptiness. It looked a bit like an orange dot but it was moving. Maybe it was another kind of Pokémon he thought but as he got closer he realized it wasn't a Pokémon and that it was somehow falling towards them. "What is that?" he asked. He realized that Misty and Brock were staring at it too but they didn't seem to hear what he had said. The thing got closer and closer and BANG! They collided with the object and everything became dark.
Ash woke up on the ground. How did he get there? The last thing he remembered was falling down a hole. How could he end up on the ground if he was falling? Wouldn't the fall have killed him? Then he noticed some things lying beside him. First was a hairy orange thing. It looked a lot like a Persian or Meowth. Next to it was another one but it was brown. Then there was a gray thing which looked like a mix between a Rattata and a Pikachu. Beside it there was a cracked egg with this really weird looking thin in it. Then Ash looked down and almost screamed. He also looked like a Persian.
Soon the things around him got up. The gray Rattata thing stood up first "Pika-Pika" it said. "Pikachu, is that you?" said Ash. "Pikachu" responded Pikachu.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" cried the orange thing. "What happened to my hands?" Ash recognized the voice immediately
"Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Togepi. We are all here" said Ash.
"And so are we" immediately four more of the Persian things jumped out and unsheathed there claws, preparing to battle, but not a Pokémon battle.
Can you guess what happened to Firestar? It's pretty simple. Anyways, if you are wondering why Ash didn't know what the cats were or what the mouse was, it is because the anime shows that normal animals don't live in the Pokémon world and only Pokémon.
