Charmander Arrives:

Dust pov:

"There's nothing but spearow's around here." Ash complained.

"What's wrong with spearows?" I asked curiously. Ash shivered and looked horrified.

"Let's just say he had a bad experience when he first set out." David whispered to me.

"Oh." I nodded.

"Well, that's the least of our worries, isn't it?" Misty asked.

"Just because we're a little lost doesn't mean I have to stop catching all the pokemon I can, does it?" Ash asked.

"Of course not, enjoy yourself." Misty said, rolling her eyes,

"Hey, don't be too hard on him." I said. "We're a bunch of kids traveling the world, we should be happy to get that freedom." I smiled. I had always wanted to go and explore the world but being under eighteen, I was stuck at home.

"I just can't go one step further. We've been looking for viridian city for ten whole days!" Misty shouted that echoed through the forest. It was official. Next time we got to time, ear plugs were going on my mental shopping list.

"Um, there's a bug right on your…" Brock started but even that single sentence sent Misty screaming again.

"AH! Get it away!" She screamed, jumping on Ash. I giggled.

"What would I give for a camera right now." I smirked.

"Your wish has come true." David smirked, pulling a camera from his bag and snapping a picture of our two favorite lovebirds.

"That's going into the blackmail file." I smirked and David nodded, hiding the camera before any of the others could find it.

"Haha, it was just a piece of grass." Brock smiled. Not a good move. He realized that when Misty kicked him in his face.

David's POV

In all honesty I couldn't wait for another chance to beat up on Damian. Anyway Misty was going stir crazy. But when Ash pointed out the right way we were about to set out when we met charmander. Pikablue was cool, calm, and collected but pikachu panicked. Ash tried to catch him but charmander batted the pokeball away. But on the second try he went in and came right back out.

"You can't catch another person's pokemon with a pokeball." Was pokemon training 101 but I wasn't going to enlighten them just yet. When they figured it out we moved on and by the time we got to the pokemon center it was about to rain. I really wanted to go save charmander but I couldn't interfere. I just hope the heartless didn't get him first. We were about to eat when that British punk opened his big mouth. He went on about how he ditched charmander in the forest on that rock.

"That guy makes me really angry." Dust growled and both Brock and I had had enough. When he was laughing about charmander's tail going out I picked him up from behind. Being a blaziken pokemorph defiantly has its perks. We ordered Damian to go get his charmander and the others got on his case. We were just about to fight when Nurse Joy stepped in.

"Well 'scuse me for trying to protect my fellow fire pokemon." I quipped and meandered off.

"It's a Joy full world." Ash said in a dazed voice and then we got Brock back to his senses. Then we all went to save charmander. His tail was really low so I used a cure spell and gave him an emergency flame transfusion. Ash carried him to the center and Nurse Joy got him into the ICU. So we spent the next hour or so just waiting around. I knew charmander would be OK and the next morning he was heading back to the rock. So I got out the old air horn and got Ash, Misty, and Dust out of bed.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Dust shouted at me.

"Specally for you." I joked and had to dodge a shoe for my trouble. So we went on our way but we couldn't stop thinking about charmander. Along the way Team Rocket put in a pit fall. So when the dirt started giving way I lept to safty.

"Hello down there!" Pikablue called and Team Rocket turned up in rubber suits. But rubber melts. But before I could fire Team Rocket whipped out the pikachu stopper rubber ball bazooka or something like that. I couldn't help myself and started sniggering, until I got caught in the rubber balloon that is...how embarrassing. So we were all trapped until charmander showed up.

"THANK GOODNESS FOR CHARMANDER!" Pikachu cheered

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

Then who should show his ugly mug but Damian himself. Then he said he was glad he abandoned charmander because it made him tough. Then he said training was the most boring part of pokemon training. IT IS THE BEST PART! Damian threw charmander's pokeball but he sent it right back and it hit Damian square in the face.

"That's an improvement." Dust remarked and then Damian got all his pokeballs out and was about to try and crush charmander under them when he got charred by charmander's flamethrower. So of course me, pikachu, and pikablue got in on some of the action. Then Damian turned tail and ran crying "Mummy". So then Ash caught charmander and we continued on to route 24. All's well that ends well.
