Pokémon: When Pokeworlds collided
Chapter 4
Michael: Welcome back to When Pokeworlds collided. This chapter begins the Johto Heart Gold/Soul Silver Arc. This will contain spoilers to the remakes and original games, so I'd be careful if I were you. Now then *Holds Bulbasuar to Blue*, you know Blue, if this is giving you any ideas, feel free to uh…
Blue *Walks away in a huff*: Oh come on Michael, I'm not that despite.
Michael *mumbled loudly*: Then you never read 'Turning over a new Leaf'
Everyone: what?
Michael: I'll explain after the chapter's over. Please review.
The sun had finally rose in New Bark Town and our favorite raven haired teens were the first ones up. They peered out the window and gazed at the town. Several Pidgeys flew above in the sky as Red said, "What a great start of the day, don't you think?"
"Yeah I agree, ready to go wake everyone up?" said Ash with a smile.
"Let's, because we don't want them all to oversleep." said Red with a grin on his face.
"Hey, I was dreaming of my first Pokemon before I went to see Professor Oak. It's not like you overslept." said Ash defensively.
"True, but like you I had to deal with Green or Gary in this world all the time. Then again, how bad was Gary?" Red asked.
Ash remained silent for a bit and said, "He had all these cheerleaders with him and he was very egotistic, more than I was."
As they made to the library, Red laughed. "Sounds like you had it rough. One thing I like about this world is that everything is not all sugar and rainbows."
Ash chuckled. "What gave you that idea?"
"You and your friends are happy and that's because not everyone around you is getting hurt or killed. In my world, it's mostly Pokemon battle; for fun, for a badge, or for the world."
"I see what you mean. Sometimes I wish to finally relax, not having a care in the world." said Ash.
Red placed a hand to his hair and said, "I like to have a vacation one day. Hmm, maybe when we get home."
As they walked in, Ash said, "Take my advice, the moment you return to Pallet Town in your world, take a break from being a champion."
Red smiled. "Yeah, I'll do that." and the two boys entered the library. The library's floor was covered with all of their friends. Brock Misty, Max, May, Dawn, Barry, Kenny, and Drew were all sleeping in sleeping bags, The Kanto/Johto Dexholders were sleeping in blankets, and the Hoenn/Sinnoh Dexholders sleeping on mats. Ash and Red walked around the room and spotted two things: Pikachu, Pika, Chuchu, Piplup, and Azuril all nestling in a basket (Ash's Pikachu holding a bottle of ketchup in his paws), and Ruby and Sapphire holding each other without even knowing it. Ash and Red merely grinned at how interesting this will be when they wake up.
(Cue Pokemon Season 4 Opening)
Pokemon!
Pokemon!
Pokemon…
…Let's do it!
I wanna be the very best, that no ever was (Ever was, ever was)
To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause
My whole life has led to this, time to test my skills. I know I just can't miss, gonna show the world
Born to be a winner (Johto!)
Born to be a champion. Born to be a winner, born to be the very best (Pokemon Johto!)
Born to be a winner
Pokemon!
Red looked to Ash with a curious look on his face. "Was that the 4th season opening?"
"Yeah, but people will skip it anyway." Ash replied. "Ready to wake everyone up?"
"Yup." Red took from his belt a Pokeball. "Poli, come on out." Red sent out Poliwarth.
"Poliwarth, Poli."
"Poli, use Water Gun on everyone, lightly please?" Red ordered.
Poli fired a light water gun into the air which rained onto the others. As the rain hit their faces, they began to wake up, not noticing the water droplets on their faces.
May yawned. "Morning everyone."
"Morning!" they all chimed at once.
"I had a strange dream, I thought I was hugging a Teddiursa…" Sapphire's attention was turning to Ruby, who she was still holding onto. The light brunette's face was beet red and placed Ruby back on the ground, embarrass of herself. Ruby finally woke up and said, "You know, I thought I was warmer, now I feel cold. Did Professor Elm turn down the heat?"
Emerald grinned and said, "You could say that."
Ruby scratched his head and look to Sapphire. "Hey Sapp, why's you're face all red, did something happen?"
Sapphire began to wave her arms defensively and said, "Nothing, Ruby, it's nothing."
Ruby shrugged. He look to his friends and said, "Well then, should we go see Professor Elm before we head out?"
"Sure." the trainers agreed and made their way to Elm's lab. The Johto Professor was talking with a man unfamiliar to the group.
"I see. So this egg appeared on your doorstep, without a note or anything?" the man asked.
"No, but it looks like someone wanted it to give it to someone here. I'll send Ash and his friends to your house pass Cherrygrove city. They can show you the egg themselves." Professor Elm said.
"Well I'll be seeing the trainers soon. Take care now." said the man and the videophone was shut off. Elm wheeled around to see Ash and his friends.
"Good morning everyone." he greeted.
"Good morning Professor Elm!" they greeted cheerfully.
"I see everyone slept well." said Elm.
"Yeah. So Professor, who were you talking too?" said Gold.
"Just a old friend of mine and Professor Oak. We were discussing this Pokemon Egg that I found on our doorstep late last night. Here, let me show you." Professor Elm walked across thee room and picked up a egg case. Elm showed them the egg. It was silver with a grey bottom.
"Wow, a Pokemon Egg." said Max, remembering his last adventure with Ash and May when he dealt with Pokemon Eggs before.
"We don't know what could be in this egg and Mr. Pokemon; the man I was talking to, might know a little about Pokemon Eggs. I heard from Oak, Birch, and Rowan that you May, Dawn, and Ash have dealt with eggs before and have the outmost experience with caring for them. So I give you this egg to show to Mr. Pokemon and take care of it." and Professor Elm gives Ash the Egg. Ash look to the Johto Professor and replied with, "Thanks Professor Elm, we'll take good care of it."
"I wonder what's in the egg?" asked Yellow
"Must be a Pokemon from our regions." said Green.
"Hmm, but what's with the color?" said Silver. "Not a color of a Pokemon I've seen before on a Pokemon egg."
"Well that adds to the mystery of Pokemon Eggs, you never know what could be in them. Well let's cracking and get our journey started." said Pearl and started to run out the room. Diamond grabbed Pearl by the scuff of his jacket and said, "Hold on there, buddy. There's something we have to discuss, and that involves our otherworld friends."
"Okay." Pearl groaned and turned back to Diamond and the others.
"So what do you guys want to talk about?" asked Ash.
"Well the Dexholders and I were talking last night and the first thing that came into our minds: we know nothing about this world and where everything is. We be lost without someone to guide us. So Red decided we choose a leader and we choose you, Ash." said Blue.
Ash looked bewildered at what Blue said. "Um, why me?"
"How do we put this; besides May, Dawn, Misty, and Brock as well, you know more about this world than we do. You seen and meet many people and Pokemon and even saved the Pokemon world many times. We need someone to guide us and that's why we pick you."
As felt dumbfounded by all this. He looked to see everyone all smiling at him. From his traveling partners, to his new friends, to Pikachu nodding as well. Ash felt put on the spot, everyone waiting for his response. He spoke again. "I don't know what to say guys."
"Come on Ash, this is a chance of a lifetime, you just gotta take it." Misty said.
"And it took Blue and Crystal to make me and Silver agree to it." said Green
Ash rubbed the back of his head and said, "If you guys say so, then I accept the role as a leader."
"That's good to hear. So should we get moving?" Red asked.
"Right. Everyone." Ash said to the group, ready to do this properly. "Let's head to Mr. Pokemon's house And show him the egg."
"Right." the trainers all said and looked back to Professor Elm. The Johto Professor explained to the group that Mr. Pokemon's house is up north, pass Cherrygrove City. With the info at hand and egg in their new leader's arms, they head to Cherrygrove City.
-Hours later-
Ash and his friends made it to Cherrygrove City. It hasn't changed a lot since Ash came here and it was unfamiliar to the Johto Dexholders. The first thing that caught their eyes was all the trainers being together with their Pokemon. It felt odd how happy and carefree they were, even with coming close to the world destroyed many times. As they came to the Pokemon Center, Crystal look back to her friends.
"Can you guys wait at the center, I have to pick up something with Platinum." said Crystal.
"What is it?" Ash asked.
"Just stuff, see ya later!" said Crystal and she and Platinum left the group. Ash and the others entered the Pokemon Center, where a Nurse Joy was standing at the front desk. As always, Brock flirted with the Cherrygrove City nurse, but Blue cut him off and dragged him away. Red laughed and came to the front desk.
"Nurse Joy, great to see you again." said Red
"Excuse me, do I know you?" she asked in confusion.
"We met in Viridian city. My name's Red and these are my friends Blue, Green, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl."
"Oh!" Nurse Joy said in surprise. "You must be referring to my cousin on Kanto."
"Cousin?" The Dexholders said in confusion.
Ash laughed a little, reminding him of his first journey. "Let me explain. All the Nurse Joy in our world are all related in some way. It's confusing, but you'll the hang of it."
"Must be one strange family reunion." Gold stated.
"So that means we'll always see a familiar face. Sounds good to me." said Emerald.
"Nurse Joy, has anything strange happened in town? Last night, this egg appeared on Professor Elm's doorstep and we were wondering if anything strange has happened." asked Green.
"Hmm, not really, but someone did see a unknown woman leaving the Magnet Train last night. Go ask Officer Jenny outside, she may lead you in the right direction."
"Thank you, Nurse Joy." the trainers said and left thee front desk and look for Officer Jenny. The Blue haired Police Officer was standing by her bike, looking at a strange article in the newspaper. The article said:
UNKOWN WOMAN APPEARS IN GOLDENROD CITY
"Officer Jenny?" Ash asked.
Officer Jenny took her gaze from the paper and look to see Ash and his friends.
"Oh Ash, Misty, great to see you again; and your friends?" she said.
"My name's Red and this Yellow, Green, Gold, Silver, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, and Pearl." Red introduced.
"Nice to meet you, so what brings you over here?" asked Officer Jenny.
"We heard from Nurse Joy that someone was at the magnet train last night. What happened?" said Ash.
"That's the thing; we don't know where this woman went and why she was at the magnet train. If you find anything, let us know."
Suddenly, Brock appeared out of thin air and grabbed Jenny's hands lovingly. "Of course Officer Jenny and when this all over, you can solve the mystery of why my heart aches for you!"
Blue appeared on cue, grabs Brock by the ear, and drags him away saying, "The only mystery is how you manage to escape my grasp!"
"Ah, not the ear!" Brock said.
Ash and his friends laughed as Officer Jenny replied with, "I guess things never changed. Well, take care everyone." said Officer Jenny hop onto her motorcycle and sped out, while Ash, the trainers, and Pokémon waved good-bye. Finally, Crystal and Platinum returned with a box in their hands.
"Hey you're back! What's with the box?" Gold asked.
Crystal placed the box on the ground and started to dig into it. She pulls out several Pokegears, surprising them. "You see, I had this wonderful idea. Since this will be a long journey and one day we might get separated, I thought everyone have a Pokegear, just to be safe." The brunette passed everyone a Pokegear; a red and white one for Red, a yellow and orange one for Yellow, a green one for Green, a dark blue one for Blue, a white and silver one for Silver, a dark red one for Ruby, a dark blue for Sapphire, a dark green one for Emerald, a sky blue one for Diamond, a light blue one for Pearl, a light pink one for Platinum, a red and blue one for Ash, a watery blue one for Misty, a grey one for Brock, a orange and green one for May, a forest green one for Drew, a black and green one for Max, a pink and black one for Dawn, a orange and green one for Kenny, and a orange one for Berry.
"Awesome!" exclaimed Ash and Red and placed the Pokegear (which each had a chain connecting them to the device) around his neck.s "So Mr. Pokemon's house is just north from here, right? Let's get moving, shall we?"
With their new Pokegears in hand, the heroes headed north from Cherrygrove City, and ran into very 'interesting' trainer. When the made it to Mr. Pokemon's house, discussing one of the trainers they ran into.
"What's with that kid with the Ratatta." said Gold and then goes into a mocking voice. "My Rattata is the best Ratata in the world! What a weird kid."
They now stood in front of Mr. Pokemon's house, where the man in question came out the door. He was a surprising old man, close to Oak's age with grey hair and a brown hat and coat.
"Ah You must be the trainers Elm mentioned, come on in!" he said and led Ash and the others inside. The inside of Mr. Pokemon's house felt like the inside of Oak's sitting room. There were book cataloging everything about Pokemon. Pictures hang around the room, displaying Pokemon from Kanto, Hoenn, Johto, and Sinnoh. Mr. Pokemon placed the Egg that Ash carried onto the table and started to examine it. Ash and the others waited for what he had to say and spotted today's newspaper that Officer Jenny had in her possession. Red picked it up as Mr. Pokemon returned to the heroes with Egg in hands.
"I gave this egg a good examine and judging by how healthy it is, this egg was just born for quite some time now. Whoever had gave this to Professor Elm, must have had a special reason to give you this egg. Actually I'd like to know what's in the egg as well. You each have Pokegears, right?" Ash and everyone nodded. Mr. Pokemon added his, Oak's, and Elm's numbers into the Pokegears. "If the egg hatches, let the three of us know."
"Got it." said Red and looks to the picture on the article and gasped. "Ash, everyone, look!"
Everyone gathered around Red and he showed them who was in the picture; a woman with red hair… Mars of Team Galactic. Max then said, "So if she's here, then the others must be with her. Looks like our adventure just got interesting. I Wounder where they are now? And what happened to Jessie, James, and Meowth?"
Speaking of Team Rocket themselves, they had finally landed somewhere in Johto. The comically trio were in the Violet City, walking around with their clothes all battered up.
"Hmm." Jessie pondered.
"What is it, Jess?" Meowth asked.
"I still can't get those new twerps out of my mind. Who are they, we never came cross with them before." said Jessie.
"Even I haven't met them before. But one of them looked like the main twerp. And those Pokemon in their possession, they're much stronger than any Pokemon we ever came across before. If we can capture their Pokemon, they'll be wonderful gifts for the boss." James said.
"I see you three are still doing what's wrong for Giovanni, I see." said a woman's voice.
Jessie, James, and Meowth turned to see an woman walking up to them. She had red hair and matching red eyes. She appeared to be wearing some kind of dress, with a V shaped split, revealing her leg and an black belt in the middle of it and white boots that matched the dress. She appeared to be older than Jessie, with gold earrings on her ears.
"It's been a long time, Jessie, James, Meowth." she said.
"Who is that?" Meowth said.
"Ariana, she's one of four loyal to Giovanni. What are you doing here?" James asked.
"Well that's a fine hello, asking me of my business? I mean, sure Giovanni gave you three that special mission, but still; it's laughable how he gives it to the most bumbling of all members." she laughed heartedly.
Jessie's uncontrollable rage was raising as James tried to came her down. Ariana continued on. "But then again, you have been in the field more than anyone, so I give you that credit. But, you can help us and Giovanni. We plan to take Johto and Kanto by storm and claim them under the name of Team Rocket. If you want, we would be glad to have you assist us. So, are you in?"
Jessie, James, and Meowth stood there in silence. This was a chance of a lifetime and they couldn't back down . They said in unison, "We're in!"
In a unknown city, grunts of Team Galactic were busy with a familiar Pokemon in their cage. It was a Dragon/Psychic Pokemon which was Blue and White with a red tear shape mark on its body. This was Latios, a Pokemon who died three and half years ago was now back. Now the Eon Pokemon was captured, soon to be separated from his sister, Latias. He she tears as one of the grunts said, "Mars, we have captured the Hoenn Pokemon Latios. The other one Latias has not been found."
"Doesn't matter. Return to base with Latios, we'll find the other one soon."
"Yes ma'am." said the grunt and the grunts and the caged Latios entered a large helicopter and took off, leaving the city by miles. There was one lone person watching this horrible event. A girl with brunette hair, a green shirt with a white collar, a matching white skirt, amber eyes and brown shoes. Without even knowing it, this girl was really Latias. She was alone in the secret garden that she and Latios grew up in. But what to do? Her two friends; the girl her form originated… Bianca and her grandfather were far away and can't be able to help her. Then a thought hit her; she can find him. Yes, him. Maybe he can help her save her brother and bring together her broken family. She took something from the pockets of her skirt. She breathed a deep sigh. Pokedollars; given to her by the girl and grandfather that would buy her food in town. Then she remembered the boat to back to the Johto continent. She walked through the city and made it to the pier. She gave the boat driver some of the money and she departed from her home in hopes to find him. She spoke in her mind in her Poke speech.
Please, let me find you… Ash
Back with Ash and his team, they were sitting around a campfire as the raven haired leader felt someone call his name. He shivered a little as his friends noticed him shiver.
"Ash are you okay?" asked Dawn.
"Pika-pi?" asked Pikachu.
"I'm fine, it's nothing." he lied.
"Here, have a blanket." Misty said, giving Ash a blanket that she personally wrapped around him. Ash felt a little better, but look up into the night sky. It was hours since meeting Mr. Pokemon briefly, to becoming leader, to taking responsibly of the egg, now a feeling that someone wants him. He then thought to himself, is someone out there needs him?
*Back in the Character's Corner, Michael showed everyone the story in question*
Diamond *Revolted* That's just sick and wrong.
Michael: Yeah, I know. That was chapter four. Ash is made leader, we have a new egg, Members of Team Rocket are planning something big, and Latias is off searching for Ash. Now that I pretty much I am far from the works of Pokespec meets Anime and Crisis of two Pokeworlds, I think I'm the first to have the Dexholders region hop and learn more about the world and its people. Next chapter is this:
Battle of Flying Types: Ash and Red vs. Falkner.
I'll see everyone next time. Pikachu, what do you have to say about this chapter?
Pikachu: Pika-Chu!
Michael: Yes, Ash will be developed as leader. See ya!
