Finally, time to update yet again. Looks like things are getting busy for me right now, but I'll keep doing my best to keep up with updating weekly.


Chris and Melody stood outside in the middle of the tall grass.

" Do you see anything?" Melody asked.

" Shh! You might scare them all away." Chris whispered back.

Melody sighed again and looked around. The two of them had come here so that Chris could train her Pokemon and possible help Melody get one of her own. There had already been a few Pokemon that Chris had battled and with Mikey and Bloom, Chris's Budew, they weren't in any danger. Still, Melody had yet to find the Pokemon that she wanted to be her starter.

" Ah! Finally, there's one over there!" Chris's said in an excited whisper that shook Melody out of her train of thought.

Melody looked over to where Chris had gestured to and froze in shook. That Pokemon! There it was! That was the Pokemon that she wanted to start out with!

" Melody, are you okay. Your eye's are sparkling way to much." Chris told an extremely sparky-eyed Melody.

" That one!" She cried.

" Huh!" Chris gasped

" That's the one I want!"

" What! That one!"

" Is there a problem with that!"

"Eh! No! Of course not!"

Melody grinned happily and held both of her hands together. Her sparky eyes seemed to make the rest of the world around her much brighter than it could have ever naturally been. Chris said and turned to the Pokemon in question.

" Okay! I'm going to catch you so you can be Melody's first Pokemon!" She told it.

" Machop! Machop!"Cried the Pokemon, who was a Machop.

" Please get along with me!" Melody cried to it with a wave.

The Machop seemed put of for a second, but then it seemed to decide to take the challenge that was being presented to it and got into a fighting stance.

" I choose you, Bloom!" Chris cried and through Bloom's Poke-ball.

" Budew!" Cried Bloom as she came out of her Poke-ball.

" Use Stun Spore!"

Bloom shot up into the air and sprayed a light orange mist over the surprised Machop. Stun Spore immediately took effect and Machop sank down to it's knees.

" Okay! Poke-ball Go!" Chris called out and tossed a Poke-ball at Machop.

It hit Machop perfectly and absorbed it in a flash of red light before closing and falling to the ground. The Poke-ball moved once, then twice, and after several heart stopping moments the tension breaking beep sounded and the Pokemon stopped moving all together.

" Yay! I finally got my first Pokemon!" Melody yelled at the top of her lungs.

She ran over and held the Poke-ball high over her head in triumph. Chris smiled at her friend, it was nice to see that Melody finally had a Pokemon to called her own.

" Are you going to give it a name?" She asked as Melody began to twirl in circles with the Poke-ball in hand.

" Yeah, I just need to think of a really good one." She stopped to think a moment.

Suddenly a strange looking machine arm thing came out from the tall grass and grabbed Melody's Poke-ball right out of her hands.

" What the! HEY!" she screamed at it.

They heard laughter coming from the grass where the arm had came from and then three figures jumped out to reveal themselves.

" Prepare for trouble!" a woman with long red hair in a strange style said.

" Make it double!" a man with short blue hair said.

" To protect the world from devastation!" The woman recited.

" To unite all peoples within our nation!" The man recited.

" To denounced the evils of truth and love!"

" To extend our reach to the stars above!"

" Chris!" Melody whispered so that the others could hear. " What the heck are these two trying to tell us!"

" Shh!" Chris whispered back. " I think this will be the only interesting thing they'll be telling us so let them have their little moment."

" Jessie!" The woman announced herself as.

" James!" The man said likewise.

" Team Rocket blast of at the speed of light!"

" Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

" Meowth! That's right!" a Meowth said popping up suddenly between Jessie and James.

" No way!" Melody cried with a look of shock on her face.

" Yes way! Now hand over your other Pokemon or will we be forced to take them as well." Jessie said.

" No! I mean where's you get the talking Meowth! I want one!" Melody cried with tear in her eye.

The Meowth suddenly looked very alarmed for a second, then he shook off the look and stared back evilly again.

" That doesn't matter!" Chris said stepping in front of Melody. " Hand over that Pokemon that I spent my precious time catching or your the ones that are going to be sorry."

" Oh really! Like we'd really-" James started.

" Time's up! Bloom! Use Magical Leaf!" Chris said pretending to look at an imaginary watch.

Bloom let out a fearsome battle cry and summoned a storm of leaves that completely enveloped Team Rocket.

" Looks like Team Rocket's blasting of again!" The three cried as they were tossed high into the sky by Bloom's Magical Leaf. The Poke-ball with Machop inside was plopped safely back into Melody's hands.

" Good work, Bloom! You deserve a rest." Chris returned Bloom to her Poke-ball.

" What just happened?" Melody asked staring up into the sky.

" I'm not sure. Those guys said they were with Team Rocket, but I've only seen that Team in Kanto and Johto. Plus their uniforms are all wrong." Chris explained crossing her arms behind her head.

There was a long silence that filled the air around the two girls.

" Want to go and watch Silver's match?" Melody offered.

" Yes! Absolutely!" Chris answer a little too quickly.

Red sat in his bed, typing slowly on a laptop. Skipper pressed his face against one of the windows in the room. Obviously the Richu was bored, but there wasn't anything that Red could do for him right now. Instead he was researching some old news articles, but none them were able to get rid of his bad mood. Their mom was famous, it's something both he and Chris knew very well.

Alika Miser, one of the few people considered to be a legitimate Pokemon Master. Any Pokemon under her care was said to become their absolute strongest and it was said that she never lost a battle. Being her son, naturally Red knew that some of these were just myths that had been told as Alika became more and more well-known. That didn't mean she wasn't powerful, far from it in fact, she WAS one of the best. But now Alika, their mom, was working for Team Galactic.

Why was she doing this, was everything that Red ever thought he knew about his mom just a lie? Maybe she just became famous as one of Team Galactic's plans. Did she even care about him? What about Chris? What was he suppose to believe?

Red cried out in frustration and shut the laptop closed, Skipper looked up at his Trainer in alarm. The day Red was finally able to walk around again could not come soon enough.


Yes, I put Team Rocket in my story and I kept the old motto. I like the old motto, why did they have to change it?

Oh well, it's my story so I'll shall keep the old motto.

Melody finally got her first Pokemon. Chris was really surprised in her tastes in Pokemon, who knew Melody would have wanted something like that?

Red's depressed because he can't do anything at the moment and all that does is give him lots of extra time to mope. Don't worry though, he be cheerful again when he can run around!

Please read and review! Positive feedback is well appreciated!
