GoogleMaster01- Hi. Ugh, I am such a terrible updater! I spent a lot of my time on Bulbagarden and trying desperately to learn more about Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm trying to learn more about Yugi. See, I wanted to love three main characters from shonen monster-catching anime- two just wasn't enough. ^-^ (These two are Tai from Digimon and Ash, who will appear soon in the fic) But, I haven't given up on this fic or A New Life, and to prove it, here's Chapter 3.

Oh yea- I DON'T OWN THE AWESOMENESS OF POKEMON AND I NEVER WILL!!! There, happy?


Crack Pokédex Entry of the Day: Poochyena- The Bite Pokémon

It loves to bite. Anything. Sticks, bones, people's heads, Deoxys. Oh yes, it loves to bite Deoxys. Deoxys tastes so gooooooood…


Chapter 3

Poochyena Powwow

The Pokémon lab was big and confusing. There were people running around in lab coats saying big scientific words that neither Amber nor Kitty Plusle understood. But, Prof. Birch knew every nook and cranny of the lab. He took the simplest route to the exit.

Meanwhile, Amber ran around like crazy, knocking down not only the professor's science experiments, but also his scientists. There were a total of three broken arms, five broken legs, a broken collarbone and twenty-something scientists yelling curses at Amber.

Even though Amber was looking for the exit, she wound out on the roof. Don't ask me how, she just did. "How do we get down, Kitty Plusle?" Amber asked.

Kitty Plusle wiggled free of Amber's grasp. "Okay, first of all, my name is not Kitty Plusle," he said, almost barfing as he said the sickening, girly name. "It's Sum. Sum Plusle. Not Kitty, Cat, Kitten, Feline, or ANYTHING OF THE SORT! And secondly, how the hell I am supposed to know how to get down from the roof of a giant Pokémon lab?!"

Now, if the reader remembers, the lab was made of a slick, shiny metal and shaped like a dome. This explains what happened next. Amber began to slip off of the roof. So did Sum. "AHH!!!" Amber cried as the two fell off the roof. Luckily, the 1-800-MATTRES truck was driving by, and Amber and Sum fell in. (Hey, I wouldn't let Amber and Sum die this early, would I? I'm not that cruel.)

Amber and Sum fell on the soft mattresses. It was a bumpy ride in the truck, almost like a hayride. But, it only lasted about two seconds because Amber was screaming "YAY! IT'S BUMPY! BUMPITY BUMP BUMP, BUMPITY BUMP BUMP, LOOK AT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN GO!" The driver heard the hyper girl screaming. He stopped the truck and climbed into the cargo hold. He grabbed Amber and Sum in his strong grip and threw them off his truck.

"DON'T YOU EVER HITCHIKE ON MY TRUCK EVER AGAIN!" The driver then hopped into the front seat and drove away.

Amber grabbed Sum and, humming a happy tune, began to leave town. She had a Pokerman now, and together with Sum, she'd find her way home.

"Sum," Amber said. "I-I'm not from here."

"I know that," Sum said. "You were throwing Poké Balls out the window like an idiot!"

"You weren't there to see that!" Amber said in shock.

"No, but I could hear all that racket inside my Poké Ball," Sum said dryly. "I heard 'Go Pokerman!' and the sound of glass shattering. Yes, the sweet sound of shattering glass…" Sum began to laugh maniacally.

Amber looked at the insane Pokémon. Sum stopped laughing and sighed. "So, where are you from?" he asked. "Petalburg City? Sootopolis City? Where?"

Amber had never heard any of these names before. "No, New Jersey," she said.

"And where the hell is that?!" Sum asked.

It then dawned on Amber that she was not only in a faraway place. She was in a different dimension!

"It's- it's in my world," Amber said. "I think I got sucked out of my world. One minute, I was outside playing, and then this purple thingy came and then it sucked me up. And then, I blacked out and I woke up here."

"You're from another world?" Sum's eyes widened.

Amber nodded. Sum sat and thought for a bit. The gears in his brain, which were old and rusty, began to turn. At last, he said, "Have you ever heard of Digiplex?"

"What's that?" Amber asked.

"Well, it's a faraway place where Pokémon and humans are equal. None of this Trainer and Poké Ball nonsense. I hear that the Pokémon there have highly developed technology that can send you home."

"Really?" Amber said. "That's great! Let's go now!"

"It's across the ocean," Sum said. "It's about two months away from here."

Amber didn't care. She had to get to Digiplex so they could send her home. "I'm ready to go!" she said.

"But-" Sum began to say something else, probably something important, but Amber didn't listen. She left town and began her adventure.


Deoxys finally left town. His leg was wrapped up in bandages due to Treecko grabbing onto it and scratching it like a scratching post. He found Poochyena in the same spot he left him. The Bite Pokémon was playing cards with a wild Zigzagoon.

When Deoxys approached, Poochyena said, "Not now, I'm playing poker."

Zigzagoon put down his hand. It was a royal flush. "NOOOO!" Poochyena howled. "This is the third game in a row!"

Deoxys was about to say something when Amber came running by with Sum.

"The girl!" Deoxys cried. "Poochyena, attack!"

Poochyena stared at Deoxys.

"NOW! GO! RIGHT NOW!!!" Deoxys yelled. "For Rayquaza! You know how angry he gets when he doesn't get his espresso, right?"

Poochyena knew. Rayquaza bit off the tail of his brother Mightyena the last time. "I'm going, I'm going!" Poochyena cried. He lept out in front of Amber.


When the Pokémon lept out in front of her, Amber was scared. He looked like a fierce baby wolf. "Sum, who he? Who he?" Amber asked.

"That's Poochyena," Sum said. "A Wolf Pokémon. It lives in large packs. It also loves to bite. Bite…" Sum erupted into maniacal laughter again.

Poochyena attacked. "Bite attack!" He jumped and bit Sum's ear.

"Thundershock!" Sum's cheeks began to spark. He fired a nasty bolt of electricity at both Poochyena and Amber. Then, he wiggled away from Amber and lept in front of the dazed Poochyena.

Amber wobbled a bit. She shook her head and noticed Poochyena was dizzy. "Hit him with the zappy thing again!" Amber yelled.

"What zappy thing?!" Sum snapped, annoyed.

"The Thunder thingy!" Amber cried.

Poochyena pulled himself to his feet. Amber hurried and tried to think of the name. Was it Thunder Bolt, Thunder Zap, Thunder Hurt, Thunder Buzz? All these names and more swam in Amber's head. She called them out one by one. Sum looked at Amber like she was nuts.

"Bite attack!" Poochyena bit Sum again, this time on the tail. He began to throw Sum around like a chew toy.

Suddenly, Amber remembered the name of the attack. "Use your Thundershock!" she cried.

"Finally!" Sum yelled. Poochyena was biting hard, preparing for the final blow. He was going to fling Sum into a tree.

"Thundershock!" Sum zapped Poochyena again. The wolf Pokémon fell over, defeated. His mouth opened, allowing Sum to pull his tail out.

"Yay! You did it! Amber picked up Sum and hugged him almost to death. Sum shocked Amber, and she let go. "You're not a bad commander yourself, actually," Sum said.

Amber was confused. "I call Trainers commanders, because that's what they do. Command Pokémon. They're all like 'Do this, do that, get me a coffee, no, I want three packets of sugar, not four, MAKE THE COFFEE AGAIN!'" Sum took a breath.

Amber kind of liked the word. Commander. It kind of sounded like Amber. Sort of. Maybe.

"Okay then, from now on, I'm Commander!" the tiny girl cried.

"Congratulations!" came a voice. Commander spun around to see a boy wearing a yellow baseball cap over his red, messy hair. "I saw the battle. You did good. Here, take these." The boy gave Commander five Poké Balls. "They're empty, but you can use them to catch more Pokémon," he said. "The road ahead is quite dangerous. I wish you luck." With that, the boy walked away.

"Who he, who he?" Commander asked.

"I don't know," Sum replied. "In this world, people like to give away free stuff. Learn to always take the free stuff."

Commander nodded. With Sum in her arms, she set out on the road to Digiplex, and the way home.


Deoxys picked Poochyena up. "You did good, Poochyena," he said.

The Pokémon smiled. Then, he bit Deoxys's hand. "GYAH!!!!!" Deoxys ran down the road after Commander. Forget Carlos. This girl had proved her worth by defeating the weakling Poochyena. She was the one who would defeat the Poké God Groudon. Hopefully. Maybe. Probably not.

Hoenn was so doomed.
