As Frank sits at the kitchen table trying to think of a way to explain what happened between him and Team Rocket, he feels a light touch of a hand on his shoulder. When he looks over to the owner of the hand, Frank realizes it is Taylor's hand. As the two stare at each other with deep concern, Frank takes a deep sigh of relief. "Okay… This is what happened."

~ Flashback ~

As Frank is jumping from tree to tree in the Viridian Forest, he begins to hear rustling and as he looks to see where the sound is coming from he notices a Pidgeotto flying straight towards him. With no time to move out of the way, Frank collides head first into the Pidgeotto; which sends them crash through the branch and leaves towards the forest floor. "Okay… That really hurt!" When Frank notices a heavy feeling on his chest, he looks to see Pidgeotto laying on him. As the pokémon begins to stir, Frank rubs the Pidgeotto's head and gives it a warm smile. "Are you ok, Pidgeotto?" With the question the pokémon give a definite nod and begins to get off Frank, allowing him to get up himself.

When the Pidgeotto tried flying away, it had been able to get three feet off the ground before crashing back down. Frank seeing this runs over to check on the Bird pokémon and noticed it wing had been slightly bent, which caused it unable to maintain the power to keep it balanced when trying to fly. Feeling bad about the accidently damage, Frank decides to try and help the Pidgeotto. "I'm going to take you back to my campsite and see if any of my friends can get you some help." As he places the Pidgeotto a small explosion happens with such a tremendous amount of wind force that knocks the Pidgeotto and Frank into nearby trees.

As Frank tries to stand back up, he notices one of his empty pokéballs lying in front of Pidgeotto. Unable to stand Frank begins to crawl towards the pokéball, but the Pidgeotto seeing the pokéball taps it beak on the button and is absorbed into the spherical device. After shaking a couple of times, the pokéball dinged and Frank finally was able to reach the ball.

As he pulled the ball towards him, a much larger crash is heard and a huge gust of wind sends crashing into another tree; which causes Frank to drop the pokéball and release the hurt Pidgeotto. As tree begin to fall, the site of the Team Rocket's machine could be seen (AU: If you don't know what the machine looks like, then go back to Chapter 5) destroying the surrounding forest under its tracks. Frank looking over to the Pidgeotto, who has gotten up and is waddling over to him, begins to wave him away. "Pidgeotto, I need you to head northwest. There you will find my friends. Get yourself help then come back for me." The Pidgeotto listening to its new trainer begins heading the direction it was told, until a large metallic hand from the Rocket's machine grabs the Pokémon and places it inside a glass orb in its chest. "Let go of my friend you fiend!" As a shot of adrenaline coursing through his veins, Frank shoots up and begins running towards the machine; which leads to be smashed back into the same tree he just hit. Without a second thought, Frank begins charging towards the machine once again. (AU: The rest of this story happened in Chapter 5)

~ Time Skip, Flashback ends ~

Frank lifts his head up off his hands, looks towards the group of people and smiles. "Then Taylor and Matt showed up." Frank looks over to Taylor, then over to Matt. Seeing a very surprised look on their faces, Frank gets up out of his chair and unclips a pokéball from him belt. "I'm going to get this little guy some help. Then I'm heading over to the Pewter City Gym, so I can register my challenge." With that said, Frank walked out of the kitchen and out of the front door.

As Frank walks down the street, he notices a large boulder-like building and without thinking walks up to the building. Once at the building, he opens the big metal door and begins walking into the darkness of the inside. Once inside, the doors slam shut and the lights turn on to reveal a pokémon stadium. "I see you have come to challenge for the Pewter City gym badge." The mysterious young voice came from a lightly tanned young man about 11 years old, wearing a light grey t-shirt and black jeans. "My name is Forrester, and I'm the leader of this gym! So if you are ready then-" The young man is cut off with Frank reaching his hand out.

"Forrester, my name is Frank from Sandgem Town. As much as I would like to battle you right now, I currently can't. As you can see by the way my arm is taped up, I was recently injured due to an encounter with Team Rocket. The only pokémon that I have to battle at this type are tired and injured." Forrester looking at Frank with a concerned and confused look nods his head in some understanding. "However, I will battle you once I've healed my pokémon and gotten some reason." Frank walks out of the gym, waving goodbye to his future opponent. Once out of the gym, he begins walking throughout the town. After 20 minutes of searching and asking directions, Frank finally finds the pokémon center. Once inside, Frank is greeted by a lovely Nurse Joy and an older looking Forrester wearing a Lab coat. "Hi… I'd like to get this Pidgeotto I caught earlier today check-up on, as well as my other pokémon; if that's ok?" Frank unclipping all of his pokémon off his belt and onto the table between the couple and himself.

Nurse Joy concerned with the boy's arm, looks over to him and begins feeling the arm gently. "May I ask, what exactly happened to you?" Frank then begins to tell the story of what happened to him and Pidgeotto. After the story was finished, Frank notices the older man with a very pained look on his face and gripping his hand so tightly, that his knuckles turn white. "Well… I'll take care of your pokémon and you can have a seat and relax." Frank agreeing to this, gives Nurse Joy and graceful bow and walks over to the nearby couch.

After about 5 minutes of relaxing, Frank hears footsteps coming from behind him; which causes him to jump from his seat and be face-to-face with the older looking man. "My name is Brock." This man, Brock, then places his hand in front of him offering a handshake. Frank willingly accepts and sits back down in the couch with Brock cross from him. "I'd like to talk about Team Rocket… I spent 5 years of my life battling three of the same members, over and over again. Each time they tried to steal my friend's Pikachu. His name was-"

"Ash. You guys tried together a lot. You guys travelled Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh together." After saying that Brock started at Frank with the most undesirable confused face ever seen. Realizing what he said, Frank turns red with embarrassment and begins scratching the back of his head. "I meet Ash, back at Professor Oak's Lab. He started telling me stories about your travels, plus I did research on Ash beforehand." Before Brock could reply, the door of the Pokémon Center had been open, which causes Brock back to work and Frank awed by the trainer.

The trainer was a young black male. The boy has short black hair, he was wearing a red jacket (with black stripes across the biceps and torso) over a black shirt and black jeans that was being held up with a red belt. His backpack was black with red stitching, and a red pokéball symbol on the front pouch. His hat was black with a red pokéball symbol in the middle. His necklace was gold. He was no older than 11 years old and about two inches taller than Frank. The boy seeing Frank started in awe as well. "Frank?"

"Davonte?"

AU: I'd like to take this time to tell you... Davonte is Frank's Rival of the story. Both know each other because both are from our world. More explaination of how Davonte was teleported to the Pokémon world in the next chapter. But, I think it's time I get the reader involved.

What kind of relationship should Davonte and Frank's rivalry be like?

1) A Gary and Ash type - One is overconfident and cocky who insults the other

2) Friendly - Gives advice to one other because they're friends

3) Advancement - One is always trying to gain the upper hand over the other

What should Pidgeotto's nickname be? (The name is all up to you, just nothing sex related)

The poll for this ends on April 7th, so make sure you review your thoughts and answers...
