A/N: I forgot how much I ship Jessie and James, but watching all these movies/episodes has reminded me. Any complaints if I sort of start sneaking Rocketshipping (JessieXJames) hints in here? Please? I mean, how can you watch Pokémon and NOT ship it?

Also, this is important!

If any of you have seen Giratina and the Sky warrior (one of the many Pokémon movies), you can skip this.

If you haven't, I suggest you go and watch it. Or at least, find out about the reverse world.

Here's a quick run-down of it:

The reverse world is basically a world that is opposite of the Pokémon world, and that's where Giratina lives. In the reverse world, the gravity is really messed up, and there are crystal pillars throughout it. If you look at the pillars, something from the real world will be shown on them. If a crystal is destroyed, whatever was being shown on it will be destroyed in the real world.

I think that mirrors in the real world are kind of like an entrance to the reverse world, and that's where Giratina creates his portals. You can walk through the portals in mirrors to get into and out of the reverse world.


"What the hell are you doing here, anyway?" Tayuya asked.

"I should ask you the same question." Nagato retorted.

"I told you, my trainer wanted me to go find something."

"Well, we're looking for a Sasuke." Raichu told her.

"A Sasuke? Why the hell would you want to find one of them?"

"They know attract, don't they?" Yahiko asked.

"If you really want one, I can get one for you. Of course, I'll want something in return."

"You know where to find a Sasuke?"

"Yeah. If you help me find a kid called 'Naruto', I'll get you a Sasuke."

"Deal!" Yahiko yelled.

"I'll get him in a minute… and this egg… I remember it being smaller." Tayuya said, picking up the egg. It was fairly large now, almost the size of her torso.

"I should hope it was smaller!" Raichu laughed. "You'd be a freak if you could squeeze something that big out of your ass!"

Tayuya refused to say anything about that, and just glared at him. After Raichu stopped laughing, Tayuya turned around, staring into the forest.

"What is it?"

"Jirobo, Kidomaru… Stop laughing! Don't act like you've never had a one-night mistake, I know you have! Don't act like you're a couple of prudes!"

"One-night mistake?" Raichu asked. "It couldn't have been that bad."

"It wasn't until this damn egg came around. This usually doesn't happen."

"You have one night things often?"

"Why do you care?"

"Well, I could always add one more to that list." Raichu said, looking as sexy as a small rat Pokémon could.

"You're a bit small for that."

"It's not how small it is, it's what you do with it."

Tayuya ignored this, and began to walk away.

"Where are you going?"

"You want that Sasuke, don't you?"

"Oh!"


"Well, we're gonna get going!" Ash said.

"Okay. See you when we catch up."

"Catch up? You won't be catching up; I'm going full steam ahead!"

"Then I guess we'll see you eventually, un." Deidara muttered.

Brock, Misty and Ash disappeared along the path, leaving Deidara and Konan at the Pokémon center.

"Itachi's up. Now we just need to find out where Nagato-san, Yahiko-san and Raichu went." Konan said.

"Couldn't have gotten too far."

"Let's go look for them."


"What the heck is this place?" Raichu asked.

"It's my master's place. Don't tell people about this, got it?"

"Anything for you, sweet cheeks!"

"I can't believe you… and her… that egg." Yahiko whispered.

"I don't need to be reminded." Nagato said.

"I'm just saying. She doesn't seem like your type, you know?"

"Nobody asked you!"

Tayuya stopped in front of a large mirror, and tapped it a couple of times. The center of the mirror began to swirl, and pull back. After a few seconds, a large portal had formed in the mirror, and looked rather frightening. Something stepped out of the portal, and waited for it to close. The creature was a large humanoid figure, with wings on its back, shaped like hands. Its skin was a dark color, and it appeared to have fangs.

"What do you want?" It asked.

"These three wanted you."

"What is that… thing?" Yahiko asked, pointing at it.

"Why did it come out of a mirror?" Raichu added.

"You wanted a Sasuke, didn't you?"

"I don't know what kind of Sasuke you're talking about, but this isn't what we wanted." Nagato said.

"This is just an evolved form of Sasuke. Get rid of the Curse Stone for a minute, will you? You overuse it."

The large evolved form of Sasuke glared at Tayuya, but quickly began to shrink. It was only a few moments before it had reverted to a Sasuke-kun, which now held a small purple stone in its hand.

"It is a Sasuke!" Raichu exclaimed. "But… seriously, what's with the weird mirror?"

"Alright, you've got your Sasuke." Tayuya sighed. "Don't worry about the mirror; it's none of your business."

"Do you know how to use 'Attract'?" Yahiko asked.

"Why?"

"Because I want to learn it." Raichu said.

"I haven't used it recently."

"You still know it, don't you?"

"Even if I did, why should I show you how to do it?"

"They offered to help me find that 'Naruto' kid." Tayuya told him.

"You want me to teach that Raichu how to use Attract so we can find Naruto?"

"Yes."

"No."

"Why not?"

"You just lead a bunch of Pokémon into Orochimaru's hideout." Sasuke said. "Did you really expect me to teach them something? Orochimaru won't like this."

"He won't know. They're only here for a few minutes."

"They could tell people. We need to eliminate them."

"Um… E-Eliminate?" Raichu asked, backing away. "We really weren't gonna tell anybody. But, if that's how you feel about it… We'll be going now."

"I don't think so." Sasuke said, standing in front of the exit.

"On the count of three, we run for it." Yahiko whispered.

"He's blocking the exit." Nagato said.

"Leave that to me." Raichu hissed, crouching down on all fours.

"When we get outside, we split up…" Yahiko instructed.

"Got it."

"One… Two… GO!"

Sasuke -who wasn't about to just let them leave- raised his hand, which began to spark. Lightning shot out of his fingers. Raichu jumped up, and dove into the ground as if it were water.

"Where did he go?" Nagato asked, ducking under another bolt.

"He must be using Dig."

Sasuke looked down, and was immediately able to pick out Raichu's position thanks to his Sharingan. Unfortunately for him, it was too late. Raichu jumped out of the ground, and struck him in the face. After recovering from the hit, Sasuke began to blow fire at Raichu, who didn't have enough time to dodge. He landed on the ground, badly burned. Yahiko and Nagato took this opportunity to attack with Water Gun and Gust, which pushed Sasuke up against the wall. Raichu pushed himself up, and the three of them ran outside, splitting off into three different directions. Sasuke decided it would be stupid to chase them. This base was only temporary, anyway.

"Don't ever bring outsiders in here again." He said, walking by Tayuya. "Get rid of that egg, too."

Tayuya waited for Sasuke to go back into the mirror, and then walked outside. She certainly did not want this egg. After a few seconds of hesitation, she decided to go and give it back to Nagato.


"I can send Beedrill to look for them."

"Good idea."

Itachi pulled Beedrill's Pokéball off of his belt, and released the Pokémon inside.

"Beedrill. Go find Raichu, Nagato-san, and Yahiko-san."

Beedrill nodded, and flew off into the forest.

"They've gotta be around here somewhere…" Konan muttered.

A few moments later, Yahiko came running out of the forest, and up to Konan. After realizing that Sasuke wasn't chasing him, he sat down, and began to catch his breath.

"Yahiko-san, there you are! What happened? Where are Nagato-san and Raichu?"


Raichu sighed, collapsing on the ground. That Flamethrower was powerful, and had really hurt. He glanced around, suddenly recognizing where he was. This was where they had first gotten off the boat at Maiden's Peak. Surprisingly, nobody was there. Raichu wondered if that was because the festival was over.

"Hey, you."

Raichu turned around to see a Sasuke-kun standing over him, which he was not happy about. He crouched down, and began to prepare a Thunderbolt. The Sasuke-kun ignored this, and proceeded to ask questions.

"Have you seen a trainer called Itachi?"

"Back off… I'm not going to go easy on you." Raichu said, trying to sound threatening. This was slightly undermined by the fact that he looked exhausted, and barely came up to Sasuke-kun's knee.

"I'll ask you again. Have you seen a trainer called Itachi?"

"…You're not going to kill me…?" Raichu asked.

"Not unless I have to."

"Oh, wait… okay. I thought you were someone else." Raichu sighed.

"Sasuke, what are you…? Oh, it's a Raichu. It looks hurt."

Raichu looked behind the Sasuke-kun to see a Sakura-chan.

"H-hey, you're pretty!"

"What happened? You look like you've been in a battle." Sakura said.

"Uh, yeah… I was. But, I took out my opponent! He was running scared!"

"Do you need help? You look like you've been burned."

"It's nothing. I've had worse."

"Can I help you? I know some healing moves."

"Well, I don't really need it, but… If you insist."

Sakura knelt down and began to heal Raichu.

"So, Sasuke… You're looking for someone named 'Itachi'? What do you need him for?"

"I want to kill him."

"Well, I've never heard of the guy!" Raichu squeaked.

"Have you seen him around, then? His eyes are probably red; he never turns his Sharingan off. He's got long black hair, and it's pulled back. He might've been wearing a black cloak with red clouds."

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Raichu said, laughing nervously.

"Sakura, hurry up. He could still be here."

"Uh, wait a minute… Do you know 'Attract' by any chance?" Raichu asked.

"What for?"

"Well… I might've seen this 'Itachi' guy around… Maybe learning Attract would… refresh my memory."

"No."

"Sasuke, there's no harm in helping this Raichu, is there?" Sakura asked.

"…Fine…"


"He's not coming after you, stop running!"

Nagato skidded to a stop, and turned around, relieved that he wasn't being followed.

"Take this, I don't want it!" Tayuya said, shoving the egg into his arms. "And make sure your trainers don't come by that base."

"I don't think I'd want them anywhere near that base."

"Neither do I. Orochimaru-sama would kill me."

"Nagato-san!"

"Huh?"

Tayuya and Nagato looked around until they spotted Konan, who was running down to see them.

"You're okay… But where's Raichu?"

Nagato shrugged, having no idea where Raichu had gone.

"Hey, who's this?" She asked, looking over at Tayuya. She pulled out her pokédex to find out.

Name: Tayuya

Species: Flutist

Type: Flying

Evolutionary chain: This Pokémon does not evolve

Tayuya are known for their long-range combat and strategic skills. These Pokémon are very good at devising plans for attack and defense, and can be used as bodyguards. They have a short temper often think of themselves as superior to others. Their flute is their only weapon, making them susceptible to close-range attacks.

"Tayuya? What's it doing here?"

"I think you should leave now." Tayuya said.

"I guess we have to find Raichu first… but then we're leaving. Probably over to the next gym." Nagato told her.

"Good. Don't come back here. Ever."

"I wasn't planning on it."


"Widen your stance, and turn to the right."

"Like this?" Raichu asked.

"Put your paws together. Now, focus."

"Focus? On what?"

"Watch me." Sasuke said, turning to Sakura.

"I think she already likes you, you probably don't need to use Attract."

"That's not the point. Sakura, stay still."

"Got it."

Sasuke sighed, not really in the mood for Attract. But, it would help him find Itachi. After a few hand signs, Sasuke put his hand up to his mouth as if he were about to use a fire jutsu. However, it wasn't fire that came out of his mouth. It was a large yellow-gold heart, which slowly drifted toward Sakura. It struck her in the face before breaking up into smaller hearts, which quickly disappeared. Sakura blinked a few times, and looked up at Sasuke. To finish off the move, Sasuke gave Sakura a smile that most of his fangirls would kill for. After a few seconds, Raichu began to wonder what had happened.

"Well, that didn't really do a whole lo-"

Raichu was cut off by the sound of Sakura's squealing. She practically tackled Sasuke, and refused to let go. Her eyes were now heart-shaped, which just added to the rather scary effect of the scene.

"…I stand corrected. That's amazing!"

"That's how you do it." Sasuke said, his face returning to its usual blank self. "I can make it better, though. That one was weak."

"Weak? How much better can it get?"

"I can make it move much faster, and last much longer."

"This… This is like a dream come true!" Raichu yelled. "So, what are you going to do now?"

"What do you mean?"

"She's… hanging all over you, in case you didn't notice."

Indeed she was. Sakura was practically on top of Sasuke, who looked completely unfazed by the situation. The only time he showed any sign of noticing was when she tried to pull off his shirt, or anything else.

"It'll wear off eventually."

"You're just going to leave her like that? You can't reverse the affects?"

"I could. It would probably be painful, though. It'll wear off soon enough, it doesn't matter. You try it."

"On who?"

Sasuke glanced around before spotting a Beedrill flying toward them.

"How about that?" Sasuke asked, pointing at the Pokémon.

"Hey, it's Beedrill! HI!" Raichu yelled, jumping up and down.

"Raichu! I'm going to kill you, you little rat!" She screamed.

"What did I do?" He asked.

"You've kept the whole group waiting, you little runt! You and those other two!"

Raichu flinched, knowing that Beedrill wasn't joking when she said she'd 'kill' him.

"Don't hurt me!" Raichu yelled, running behind Sasuke.

"Use Attract. That should stop her."

Raichu stepped back out in front of Beedrill, and put his paws together.

"Now, focus your energy between your paws." Sasuke said. "It's like using thunderbolt. You focus the energy to your cheeks to do that, don't you?"

Raichu stood completely still, staring at the empty space between his paws. He focused as hard as he could, still feeling unsure of himself.

"Hurry up, she's getting closer."

Raichu looked up to see that Beedrill was only a few seconds away. A heart formed between his paws, which Beedrill accidentally flew into. Raichu shut his eyes when she finally ran into him, waiting for something extremely painful to strike him in the stomach. Nothing happened, much to his surprise. When he opened his eyes, Beedrill's eyes were heart-shaped, and she seemed to be completely content with staring at him.

"Good. You did it." Sasuke said. "Now, about Itachi…"

"Oh, right… I think I saw someone like that go off into the forest." Raichu lied.

"The forest?"

"Yeah, back that way." He said, pointing into the maze of trees.

"Sakura, let's go."

Sasuke walked off into the forest, while Sakura did her best to stay completely attached to him.

"Well, Beedrill… I guess we should go back now?"


"Hey, there they are!"

"Beedrill, Raichu… You're back."

Raichu walked up to Itachi, while Beedrill followed close behind. Itachi put Beedrill back in her Pokéball, and was annoyed when Raichu refused to get in.

"Return!"

Raichu shook his head, and ran up to Konan. He took Eevee's Pokéball off of her belt, and released her.

"Raichu? What do you want?"

"I've gotta show Itachi this move I learned!"

"What move?"

"Attract!"

"You're using me as a test subject? Don't think I'll fall for it, stupid."

"Famous last words!" Raichu laughed, getting into position.

"Raichu, what are you doing?" Itachi asked.

After a few minutes of focusing, Raichu finally managed to shape another heart between his paws. He pushed it into Eevee's face, and watched as it separated into smaller hearts.

"What was that?" Konan asked.

Eevee's eyes went blank, before changing into hearts. She tackled Raichu, and pretty much refused to let him get up.

"Attract." Itachi said. "He refused to hit girls earlier."

"This could be a way to stop them, un."

"Exactly. That's a good strategy."

"Rai!"

"Now, return."


A/N: Okay, we're finally leaving Maiden's peak. That only lasted… three more chapters than I wanted it to. Oh, well.

And Raichu can actually learn Attract. I have one that knows it in my Pokémon Pearl team. It's pretty convenient.

Anyway, any problems with Rocketshipping? I hope not.
