A/N: I know it's WAY too early to be asking, but about the first Pokémon movie:

Do you guys want the Japanese version or the American version? In the Japanese version, Mewtwo was trying to destroy the world to prove his worth as a living being (since he was just a clone), and in the American version, he hated humans for treating Pokémon like tools. Which one do you want? I have to say that this is one of the few times where I actually like the dub better, but I'll let you guys pick.

"Come on, pick up the pace! Let's move faster! How can we expect to beat our rivals when we're moving so slow?!"

"Yes, Gai-sensei!" Lee yelled.

"That's the spirit, Lee! Neji, Tenten, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, let's move it!"

The Pokémon groaned at their overly excited master, and tried to move a little faster.

"We're on a cross-country trip here; this is no time to be losing steam! We're almost back to the Leaf Village, anyway! We just have to pass through Saffron, and then we can make a beeline for it!"

"Sasu…"

Konan flinched when Sasuke came up to her. However, instead of attacking, he pulled an envelope out of his shirt, and handed it to her. She stared at him, waiting for him to make a move. After a few moments, it became clear that he wasn't going to hurt her. She wondered if he had beaten up Deidara and Charmeleon just for fun, which seemed pretty likely.

"Do you want me… to open this?"

"Suke."

She tore the envelope open, and began to read the letter inside.

To Deidara, Konan, and any companions:

I am finally ready to receive you as my guests. Follow the map inside this envelope, and join me.

-Orochimaru

Konan pulled the map out of the envelope, and searched for some kind of mark. Quickly, she spotted a large red circle around the forest near Maiden's Peak.

"Maiden's peak, huh? We have to walk all the way back there, don't we?"

"Sasuke."

"T-tell your master we're coming."

Sasuke took off almost immediately, leaving Konan with an unconscious Deidara and Charmeleon on her hands. Charmeleon was easily put inside a Pokéball, but Deidara was a different story. He wasn't particularly heavy or anything, but it wasn't going to be easy to drag him all the way to the next town.

'I could put him in a Pokéball… he's still in Pokémon form.'

Konan could just imagine the reaction Deidara would have to being stuffed inside a Pokéball. It wouldn't be pretty.

"LET'S MOVE IT!"

Konan looked over to her right to see a large dust cloud forming on the other end of the canyon. It was moving toward her, but she wasn't particularly frightened by it. She could see that it was a trainer and his Pokémon. When they got closer, they slowed down and eventually came to a standstill in front of her.

"Why is this man sleeping in the middle of the road?" The trainer asked.

"Oh, a Pokémon knocked him out." Konan explained.

"Do you need to get him to a Pokémon center?"

"Yeah, but I can handle-"

"I can carry that for you! It would be a good challenge!"

"I don't think that's really necessary."

"Nonsense, I'll carry that guy, and Lee here can carry you!"

"I really don't think-"

"LEE!"

"Yes, Gai-sensei!"

Konan really didn't have a choice at this point, since Lee had already hoisted her onto his back, and began to dash along the road. They were headed back to Saffron, which was absolutely fine, since it was closer to Maiden's peak.

"Why are we back in Saffron city? I thought we were going to Celadon, un."

"Well, you got knocked out, and we came back here because they had a Pokémon center."

"Celadon doesn't have a Pokémon center?"

"It does, but Celadon would've taken longer to get to."

"And now we have to go all the way back to Maiden's Peak?"

"Well, yeah. Orochimaru said he's ready for us or something…"

While Deidara wasn't exactly happy about having to go all the way back there, he knew that Orochimaru had the key back home, which was a good enough reason to go and see him. Besides, this would give him the opportunity to fight Sasuke again.

"We're walking there aren't we, un?"

"Unfortunately."

"Are there any shortcuts?"

"Not really. We don't have any flying type Pokémon… And there's no way we would unless your Charmeleon evolves again."

"How do we do that?"

"I wasn't saying it was possible… I was just saying it'd be nice. But, since he just evolved, it's probably not going to happen for a while."

"So, wait… what are we doing all the way down in Cinnabar Island? It's in the middle of the ocean!" Raichu yelled.

"Itachi said we were looking for something." Ivysaur told him.

"A water type Pokémon." Nidorino added.

"We're in the middle of the ocean, it shouldn't be hard to find." Beedrill muttered.

"Yeah, the huge ocean. Shouldn't be hard to find a single Pokémon." Raichu scoffed.

"Ah, but that's the fun of it!" Gastly laughed. "It's the journey that makes it exciting!"

"They're supposed to live close to shore, and they come up on land a lot." Ivysaur said. "Maybe it won't be so hard."

"Yeah, well we better hurry up, I'm sick of the beach." Raichu huffed.

"What's your problem, Raichu? You're getting really grumpy." Nidorino said. "Not to mention twitchy."

"It's not my fault I haven't battled in a while."

"That's your problem? You want a battle?" Beedrill asked.

"Either that or a lightning rod. Someplace with a lot of dirt would work, too." Raichu said, letting his cheeks spark.

"You're overloaded with electricity now, aren't you?" Nidorino asked.

"Could you tell?" Raichu laughed.

"Just wait for Itachi to get back with some pokéballs, and then we'll go find some empty spot." Ivysaur told him.

"Good, because if this keeps up, I'll get sick." Raichu growled.

"Sick?"

"Yeah, it happens to electric type Pokémon. They get too overloaded with electricity, and then they get a fever and everything. It happened to my dad once, it wasn't pretty."

"So, you're finally awake, are you?" Orochimaru hissed.

"P…ei?"

"Let's get something clear, shall we? You are my Pokémon, and I am now your master. Got it?"

'Like hell you are.'

Pein stood up, completely unaware of his new looks or abilities. He put out his hand, and began to use Psychic to throw Orochimaru out of his way. However, before he could lift up the man, a horrible electric shock passed through his body.

"That's what happens when you try and disobey." Orochimaru told him. "Now, get inside this Pokéball. Take this, too."

Pein watched to items fall at his feet. The first was a large black Pokéball with a red ring on top, and a green button in the center. The second item was a silver bell with a big yellow ribbon on top.

"That is a Luxury Ball. I think you'll grow to like it. The second is a Soothe Bell, which you'll also like."

"Hey, Itachi's back!" Ivysaur said, nodding up toward the town.

"Alright, time to go Pokémon hunting!" Nidorino cheered.

The trainer finally got up to his Pokémon, and took a special type of Pokéball out of his bag.

"It's a net ball." He told them. "It's good for catching water types."

Ivysaur ran down to the ocean to wait for his master, who gave the Net Ball to Nidorino.

"Go find one of these Pokémon." Itachi said, holding out his pokédex. "I'll be back."

"Nido!"

"Raichu, let's go."

"Rai?"

"Alright, use Thunderbolt."

"Rai!"

Raichu slammed his tail into the ground, and pushed it down into the dirt.

"I don't want you getting sick." Itachi told him. "Electric types can develop problems if they have too much Electricity."

"Rai…CHUUUUUUUU!"

Itachi watched all the electricity go down into the dirt, and disappear. He waited for a few minutes while Raichu continued his Thunderbolt, only stopping to breathe.

"Where the hell are we supposed to find this thing?" Nidorino asked.

"It would be easier if we hada water type to search with." Beedrill said.

"That's the whole reason we're here. To get a water type." Ivysaur told her.

"I know that." Beedrill growled.

"It's a giant shark-man with a huge sword and Itachi's Pokémon cloak! How hard can it be to see?!" Nidorino pointed out.

"That's true."

"You can't force your Charmeleon to evolve." Konan said.

"You said it just needs battle experience. That's what I'm doing."

"If that's what you're planning, walking would probably be faster."

"Trying to evolve your Pokémon!?"

"Huh?"

Deidara and Konan looked up to see two people standing next to each other. They looked familiar, but nobody could quite put their finger on it.

"We'll get your Pokémon to evolve!" One of them offered.

"It'll only cost you a little time and money!"

"What are you, traveling daycare people?" Konan asked.

"Exactly!"

"So, I just give you my Pokémon?"

"Only for a day or so!"

"Do it!" Konan said. "If they can get Charmeleon to evolve into Charizard, we could fly to Maiden's Peak!"

Deidara handed Charmeleon's Pokéball to the two people, and watched them walk off.

"Pick him up here at the same time tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Konan yelled, waving good-bye.

The two people walked away, before tearing off their disguises.

"Jessie, that was so easy!"

"Did you two geddit?" Meowth asked.

"See for yourself!" Jessie laughed, holding out the Pokéball.

"Great! Let's give it ta da boss!"

"Right!"

A/N: Okay, about the electric types getting sick: It's happened twice in the anime, apparently. Pikachu and Pachurisu got fevers and colds when they had stored too much electricity. Also, Raichu get violent and angry when they've got too much electricity. (According to Bulbapedia, and their pokédex entries.)

Also, sorry for the short chapter!
