US Journey part 9: Sand, surf, and a jaw full of trouble
by Xen
We find are heroes on the roadside overlooking a beach. Everyone was stretching their legs for their long travels. "Wow what a great view. The ocean looks so lovely form here." Misty said looking at the ocean view. "Does anyone mind if I take a quick swim."
"Well Misty we have to get to Seattle...."
"Okay thanks." Misty jumped into the van and closed the door. Misty opened the door a few seconds later to reveal her in bathing suit. Misty ran down to the shore and start swimming.
"Is she always like that?" Isaac asked.
"Only when it has to do something with water." Ash replied.
"I guess we can send the rest of the day here. The next town is only a few miles and we can spend the night there." James said looking form the map.
"Well I could go for a nice tanning." Jessie said as she to grab something form the van and instantly created a typical beach set.
"How do they do that." Ash said.
"I don't know and think I never will." James said as he went into the van to change.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Come on Ash won't you join me in the water." Misty yelled over to Ash who was on the shore.
"Nah, I really don't feel like it. Unlike you some people are not part fish."
"Well ha ha very funny." Misty said as she lay down on her blanket.
"Um, say Isaac why didn't change into a bathing suit." Jessie asked. Even though he took off his jacket Isaac still was dress like he always is.
"I don't like the beach. And I really don't have any beach wear."
"Oh, well you could borrow one of mine. I have a couple dozen." James said. Isaac sweatdropped.
"Um, I think I'll pass."
"Say what that in the water." Ash said pointing towards the water.
"I don't know, but I think it's a pokemon." Isaac stared a bit further out to sea. "Say I think it's a Dollyfin."
"A what?" Ash pointed his pokedex at the swimming figure. The pokedex showed an image of the figure swimming out in the ocean. The creature was white and featured two fins on its back.
"Dollyfin. A dolphin pokemon. This pokemon is very friendly and helpful to people. It has been known to bring shipwrecked sailors back to shore."
"Wow a water pokemon. I going to catch it." Misty brought forth Starmie and jumped on its back.
"That girl just loves water pokemon. Doesn't she." Ash looked towards Dollyfin and then spotted something else.
"What's that?" Ash pointed his pokedex at the other object. The pokedex displayed a large fish creature with sharp looking teeth and a black gray body.
"Makoron a shark pokemon. This hostile pokemon is very aggressive and well harm anything it sees as a threat. It can break a Blastoise shell with its powerful teeth." The pokedex said.
"And Misty is heading straight for it. We got to do something." Ash reached for his pokeballs in his backpack. "Lapras I choose you." Ash threw the pokeball and Lapras appeared in the water. Ash and Pikachu jumped on board Lapras back. "You guys wait here. Lapras follow Misty." Lapras quickly started swimming toward Misty who was coming ever closer to the two pokemon.
Meanwhile Misty was focusing on capturing the Dollyfin. She stopped when she about ten feet away form the Dollyfin. "Okay Dollyfin your mine. Staryu go!" Misty opened the pokeball and the star shaped pokemon appeared. "Staryu water gun."
"Hiya." Staryu sprayed water at Dollyfin but avoid the attack and dove under water.
"Staryu dive under and tackle it." Staryu dove under the water to attack the Dollyfin. "Huh? What that sound?" Misty turned around to see the Makorons coming straight towards her. "What that thing. Starmie get us out of here. Staryu forget the Dollyfin." Starmie and Staryu started to swim away form the Makoron but the shark pokemon kept getting closer. "Ah it's going to get us." The Makoron was about to lunge upon the three when a beam of ice hit Makoron knocking him away. Makoron dived off and ran away. Ash appeared next to Misty, Starmie, and Staryu.
"Misty are you ok?" Ash asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. What was that?"
"That's a Makoron. It was chasing the Dollyfin."
"And I didn't even get the Dollyfin." Misty sighed and called back Staryu.
"Hey guys. Wait up." Isaac came running up the two on a Starmie.
"And where did you get a Starmie." Ash asked the young magician.
"I've had him for a while now. Magimn isn't the only pokemon I own. I nicknamed him Starlight."
"Well well ask you later what pokemon you do own later. What are doing out here."
"Well I came to warn you."
"Warn us about what?"
"Well see for yourselves." Isaac pointed off toward the ocean. Further off and approaching fast appeared to be about a fleet of Makorons heading straight for them.
"We got to get out fast. Lapras get us to shore."
"Starlight go!"
"Starmie get us out of here." The three pokemon swam as fast as they could to get away form the Makoron fleet that the shark pokemon where quickly gaining up on them. "We can't out run them. Shouldn't we try and attack them."
"No we don't have enough pokemon to stop them. And if I use Pikachu we'll get shocked."
"Well we can't out run them forever. We have to do something." Misty said. As the three were about to turn around for an attack a sudden sound appeared out of no wear.
"What's that sound. It's so awful."
"Look over there." Ash pointed towards a boat that was head towards them. The boat had large speakers that were producing in sound.
"Hey look the sound is making the Makorons turn around." What Isaac said was true. The sound that the boat was making was driving them off. When all the Makorons were gone the boat came toward them. On the boat was a blond man in a lifeguard outfit.
"Hey there. Come abroad." The three jump on the boat and recall their pokemon.
"Um Thanks...."
"The names Rick. And don't mention it. It's my job."
"Just what's with those pokemon? And what drove them off?"
"Well I can the explain the latter. See those speakers? Well they produce a high pitched sound that drives off the Makorons. But I'll explain why they are attacking back at my HQ."
------------------------------------------------------------
A bit later at the lifeguard tower everyone (Jessie and James were there too) discussed about there situation.
"So what exactly is going on with those Makorons?" Ash asked.
"Well to be frank, we don't know. Even though a Makoron is viscous and will attack humans they usually live far form shore deep with in the ocean. But over the past few days they been acting up. So far we can drive them off the sound, but more just keep appearing."
"Before the Makorons attacked us, one of them was chasing a Dollyfin. Do you know why?" Misty asked.
"A Dollyfin? I don't see why it would be following them. A Dollyfin would usually be staying away form a Makoron, Maybe this one was trying to defend its territory." Suddenly the radio went off.
"Come in station three. Come in station three. This is Officer Jenny of the coast portal. Our radar has shown that there is large fleet of Makorons heading to your sector. You know what to do. We'll send help as soon as we can."
"Man they won't make it here in time. Can you guys help me out."
"Sure we will." Ash responded.
"Pika."
"But we're not hurting them are we?" Misty asked.
"No. The sound wave just drives them off with out hurting them."
"Well as long as we don't hurt them I'm in."
"Ok then. I'll take you to the boats." Rick led everyone down to the docks. It ended with Rick and Isaac on one boat, Misty and Ash on another, and Jessie and James on the third boat. "Okay when we get in range someone has to turn on the speakers. And remember that the speakers must be facing the Makorons."
"Is that so it will work properly?" Jessie asked over the radio.
"No. That in case it doesn't work, so you can run for your lives." Everyone minus Rick facefaults. Soon they reached the Makoron fleet. They turned on the speaker and the loud noise started driving them off. (Authors note: I do know that for this idea to work the speaker have to be underwater, but this is a fanfic and if I want to suspend laws of nature I'll do it)
"It's working were driving them off." James said seeing the Makorons swimming away. Suddenly something struck the speakers on Jessie and James boat.
"What was that? James check it out." James went over to the busted speaker and pulled out a large metal rod.
"It's a harpoon."
"A harpoon? Where did it come form." Ash said forms the radio. Suddenly a large sub appeared in the middle of the Makoron fleet.
"It can't be." Jessie gasped.
"I thought that was destroyed."
"What is that." Rick said.
"That the team rocket Gyarados submarine." James said. Two figures came out of the sub.
"Prepare to die."
"And pray it's quick."
"To destroy the world with devastation."
"To enslave all people within this nation."
"To entice the good of hate and greed."
"To extend grasp upon this world."
"Kitty."
"Tiger."
"Team rocket destroying all that stand in our way."
"Admit defeat and you may yet live."
"Meowth that's right!" Meowth appeared in front of the two other rocket members.
"Team rocket. We should of guessed you be behind something like this."
"Well give the man a cupee doll." Tiger said.
"I think we can give him something much better." Kitty joined in.
"Like a one-way trip to Davie Jones locker."
"What did you do to these Makorons." Misty yelled at the rockets.
"Simple. We just drove then it a frenzy using our own subsonic hi-five confuse ray. A Makorons would be to stupid to follow us though choice, so were just controlling them instead."
"That's cruel. No pokemon should be controlled with to destroy things."
"Well we can and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Oh yes we can." Rick turned the volumes on the speakers to there maxim level. The Makorons started going wild and loss formation.
"No you don't" Tiger pushed a button and a harpoon gun appeared form the mouth of the sub. The harpoon shot out and hit the speaker destroying it. Another shot took out the speakers on Ash and Misty's boat.
"Looks like evil triumphs over good again." Meowth said evilly.
"That's what you think. We still have out pokemon."
"And what are they going to do."
"You'll see. Blastoise, Lapras use your ice beams to create a wall of ice." Ash threw the pokeballs and the two pokemon appeared. Blastoise and Lapras shot out beams of ice forming a ring of ice around everyone.
"Nice going. Now we don't have to hunt you down."
"That's what you think. Pikachu thunder bolt now!"
"Pikachu!" Pikachu aimed his high voltage attack at the Makorons shocking them. The electricity spread thought the whole ice ring. Many of the Makorons tried to swim away but couldn't because the ice ring blocked them.
"What are you doing! Your out numbered them a hundred to one. Why you running." Meowth yelled towards the shark pokemon. Most of the Makorons stopped running (or swimming if you what it literally) and redirected themselves toward our heroes.
"Ma ko." The Makorons started shoot tiny projectiles at the boat. Everyone ducked to avoid the flying objects.
"What are those things?" Ash asked Rick.
"It's a Makorons special attack. The jaw shot. They are actually firing their own teeth at us."
"Well can't we wait till they run out of teeth?" James said ducking the shooting of teeth aimed at their heads.
"That would be impossible. Not only do the a thousand teeth in the mouth, but they regrow in a few seconds."
"Okay so what do we do?"
"Well we could try to attack but we are cut to pieces or we wait till the boat sink form the holes they're making. Either way were done for." James said. Jessie smacked him with her paper fan.
"James. How can you say such things."
"He's only speaking the true darling." Kitty said to Jessie.
"Say Ash do you hear something?" Misty asked Ash. Pikachu's ears went up because it heard something.
"What is Pikachu is something coming." Pikachu nodded.
"Maybe it's the other member of the coast guard." Suddenly they heard a high pitched sound. The Makorons then stopped shooting. Everyone stood up. What they saw was quite a sight. Fight the Makorons were the Dollyfins and where lead led by the one that Misty was trying to capture earlier. The Dollyfins were sending out a strange blue wave that was driving the Makorons insane. Ash pointed his pokedex at the Dollyfins.
"Sonar: Dollyfins special move. This high pitched sound can confuse its opponents."
"Look there running off." The Dollyfins had broken the ice ring and most of the Makorons were escaping. Team rocket and there sub fled upon seeing the Dollyfin fleet appearance.
"Yeah but there are still some here. Pikachu take them down with a thundershock."
"Pikaaaachuuuuuu." Pikachu's blast doves off the rest of the Makoron fleet expect one.
"Look Ash theirs one left."
"Well I'm going to capture it." Ash said as he threw a pokeball. "Pidgeot go!"
"Pidgeot." The bird pokemon said as it flew over the water.
"Pidgeot use gust attack." Pidgeot created a large gust of wind that hit the Makoron but only ticked it off.
"Mako." The Makoron fired its jaw shot, but Pidgeot avoid the attack. Pidgeot stuck back with a wing attack that critically hit Makoron. "Mako ron." The shark pokemon started glowing and dove under water.
"Um what happened?" James pointing toward the spot where Makoron went under.
"I think it evolved?" Isaac said.
"But to what?" Ash wondered. His wonders were answered when a large creature came out of the water. The creature was large and had large side fins that acted like wings. The creatures black scale skin was made it look almost beautiful if it wasn't its mouth which with it gapping jaw full of sharp teeth made it look like a force to be feared.
"Manark." The creature said. Ash points his pokedex at the creature.
"Manark the manta pokemon, the evolved form of Makoron. Since few people have ever captured a Makoron, its evolved form is almost unheard of. No further information."
"I'll tell you why no one has ever captured a Manark. It's because those trainers were eaten by them." Rick explained.
"I don't want to be some pokemon dinner." James began panicking till Jessie knock him out.
"Well I'm not going to allow some pokemon to eat any of us. Pidgeot whirlwind attack.
"Pidge ot ot ot ot ot." Pidgeot created a large whirlwind attack the stuck Manark. The Manark however was unaffected. The Manark dashed toward Pidgeot at break neck speed. Pidgeot was hit and fell in to the water. Ash recalled Pidgeot.
"Lapras give it a body slam." Lapras charged toward the manta pokemon delivering a powerful blow. "Okay Blastoise use ice missile."
"Bl." Blastoise's gun came out of its back. "Ast." A pale looking missile popped out of the one of the cannons. "Oise." Blastoise shot the missile hit Manark on its underside. Manark became frozen and fell back into the water.
"Pokeball go." Ash threw the pokeball hitting Manark and sucking inside the ball. Blastoise caught the ball and threw abroad the boat. The ball wiggled a few times before stopping. "All right. I caught Manark." Ash picks up the pokeball.
"Congratulations Ash. You're the first person to capture a wild Manark." Rick said over the radio.
"I guess you got luckily." Misty said slyly.
"What? I caught Manark with my skill. Luck had nothing to do with this." Misty kisses Ash on the cheek stopping him form saying further.
"Just kidding. You deserve Manark. To bad I didn't get that Dollyfin."
"Don't worry Misty, you'll capture one sooner or later." Ash hugged Misty comforting her.
"Hey you two. Save it for later." Jessie and James waved form their boat disturbing the two lovers.
"Well we should head back for shore."
"You know I wonder what happened to team rocket." Misty shrugged
"I guess they ran off when they begin losing." Ash started the boat and drove the boat back to shore.
Later that day Misty was sitting on the docks looking at the sun setting. Ash and Pikachu walked up to her and sat down. "Still thinking about that Dollyfin aren't you?" Ash asked his girl.
"Yeah. I wish I could have captured it. Some water master I am."
"Hey don't put yourself down so much. Actually if you did capture that Dollyfin, it probably wouldn't of gotten the other Dollyfins and saved us."
"True. But still it was seemed very cute and I want it badly." Pikachu's ears perk up and looks around.
"What is it Pikachu?" Pikachu walks over to the said of the dock. Ash and Misty follow Pikachu. At the end of the dock there was a Dollyfin swimming there.
"Oh look a Dollyfin. I think it's the one that I tried to capture earlier. But what's it doing here."
"Dolllllllllllllly." The pokemon says. Pikachu translates for Ash.
"It says that it came here looking for you. It saw you at the battle and liked your courage for facing the Makorons. It wants to join you."
"Well ok. Pokeball GO!" Misty threw the pokeball and Dollyfin went inside. Misty jumped into the air in with excitement. "Wow I caught a Dollyfin." Ash starts laughing.
"What's so funny?" Misty asked.
"Well it's the situation. Here you catch a pokemon because it joins you, when you always diss me about that fact that pokemon always join with me."
"Well this is different. This is my pokemon so there. And anyway those pokemon only joined you because you were a pathetic trainer that could catch a cold in the arctic."
"And what am I now that I may ask." Ash asked.
"Well come here and I'll tell you." Ash moved towards Misty and two embraced each other. Pikachu walked back to van where the others were waiting for them.
"So I guess we should give them five minutes then." James asked Pikachu. Pikachu nodded.
"Well then why don't we...."
"Um Isaac will be in the van if you need us." Jessie and James ran into the van and locked the doors. (authors note: There just kissing. I repeat they are all just kissing.) Isaac sits on the curb with Pikachu next to him. Isaac and Pikachu stare at each other.
"Man, I really need girlfriend." Isaac says as he goes to the vending machine.
To be continued....

We find are heroes on the roadside overlooking a beach. Everyone was stretching their legs for their long travels. "Wow what a great view. The ocean looks so lovely form here." Misty said looking at the ocean view. "Does anyone mind if I take a quick swim."
"Well Misty we have to get to Seattle...."
"Okay thanks." Misty jumped into the van and closed the door. Misty opened the door a few seconds later to reveal her in bathing suit. Misty ran down to the shore and start swimming.
"Is she always like that?" Isaac asked.
"Only when it has to do something with water." Ash replied.
"I guess we can send the rest of the day here. The next town is only a few miles and we can spend the night there." James said looking form the map.
"Well I could go for a nice tanning." Jessie said as she to grab something form the van and instantly created a typical beach set.
"How do they do that." Ash said.

"Come on Ash won't you join me in the water." Misty yelled over to Ash who was on the shore.
"Nah, I really don't feel like it. Unlike you some people are not part fish."
"Well ha ha very funny." Misty said as she lay down on her blanket.
"Um, say Isaac why didn't change into a bathing suit." Jessie asked. Even though he took off his jacket Isaac still was dress like he always is.
"I don't like the beach. And I really don't have any beach wear."
"Oh, well you could borrow one of mine. I have a couple dozen." James said. Isaac sweatdropped.
"Um, I think I'll pass."
"Say what that in the water." Ash said pointing towards the water.
"I don't know, but I think it's a pokemon." Isaac stared a bit further out to sea. "Say I think it's a Dollyfin."
"A what?" Ash pointed his pokedex at the swimming figure. The pokedex showed an image of the figure swimming out in the ocean. The creature was white and featured two fins on its back.
"Dollyfin. A dolphin pokemon. This pokemon is very friendly and helpful to people. It has been known to bring shipwrecked sailors back to shore."
"Wow a water pokemon. I going to catch it." Misty brought forth Starmie and jumped on its back.
"That girl just loves water pokemon. Doesn't she." Ash looked towards Dollyfin and then spotted something else.
"What's that?" Ash pointed his pokedex at the other object. The pokedex displayed a large fish creature with sharp looking teeth and a black gray body.
"Makoron a shark pokemon. This hostile pokemon is very aggressive and well harm anything it sees as a threat. It can break a Blastoise shell with its powerful teeth." The pokedex said.

Ash and Pikachu jumped on board Lapras back. "You guys wait here. Lapras follow Misty." Lapras quickly started swimming toward Misty who was coming ever closer to the two pokemon.
Meanwhile Misty was focusing on capturing the Dollyfin. She stopped when she about ten feet away form the Dollyfin. "Okay Dollyfin your mine. Staryu go!" Misty opened the pokeball and the star shaped pokemon appeared. "Staryu water gun."
"Hiya." Staryu sprayed water at Dollyfin but avoid the attack and dove under water.
"Staryu dive under and tackle it." Staryu dove under the water to attack the Dollyfin. "Huh? What that sound?" Misty turned around to see the Makorons coming straight towards her. "What that thing. Starmie get us out of here. Staryu forget the Dollyfin." Starmie and Staryu started to swim away form the Makoron but the shark pokemon kept getting closer. "Ah it's going to get us." The Makoron was about to lunge upon the three when a beam of ice hit Makoron knocking him away. Makoron dived off and ran away. Ash appeared next to Misty, Starmie, and Staryu.
"Misty are you ok?" Ash asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. What was that?"
"That's a Makoron. It was chasing the Dollyfin."
"And I didn't even get the Dollyfin." Misty sighed and called back Staryu.
"Hey guys. Wait up." Isaac came running up the two on a Starmie.
"And where did you get a Starmie." Ash asked the young magician.
"I've had him for a while now. Magimn isn't the only pokemon I own. I nicknamed him Starlight."
"Well well ask you later what pokemon you do own later. What are doing out here."
"Well I came to warn you."
"Warn us about what?"
"Well see for yourselves." Isaac pointed off toward the ocean. Further off and approaching fast appeared to be about a fleet of Makorons heading straight for them.
"We got to get out fast. Lapras get us to shore."
"Starlight go!"
"Starmie get us out of here." The three pokemon swam as fast as they could to get away form the Makoron fleet that the shark pokemon where quickly gaining up on them. "We can't out run them. Shouldn't we try and attack them."
"No we don't have enough pokemon to stop them. And if I use Pikachu we'll get shocked."
"Well we can't out run them forever. We have to do something." Misty said. As the three were about to turn around for an attack a sudden sound appeared out of no wear.
"What's that sound. It's so awful."

"Team rocket destroying all that stand in our way."
"Admit defeat and you may yet live."
"Meowth that's right!" Meowth appeared in front of the two other rocket members.
"Team rocket. We should of guessed you be behind something like this."
"Well give the man a cupee doll." Tiger said.
"I think we can give him something much better." Kitty joined in.
"Like a one-way trip to Davie Jones locker."

"Pikaaaachuuuuuu." Pikachu's blast doves off the rest of the Makoron fleet expect one.
"Look Ash theirs one left."
"Well I'm going to capture it." Ash said as he threw a pokeball. "Pidgeot go!"
"Pidgeot." The bird pokemon said as it flew over the water.
"Pidgeot use gust attack." Pidgeot created a large gust of wind that hit the Makoron but only ticked it off.
"Mako." The Makoron fired its jaw shot, but Pidgeot avoid the attack. Pidgeot stuck back with a wing attack that critically hit Makoron. "Mako ron." The shark pokemon started glowing and dove under water.

"But to what?" Ash wondered. His wonders were answered when a large creature came out of the water. The creature was large and had large side fins that acted like wings. The creatures black scale skin was made it look almost beautiful if it wasn't its mouth which with it gapping jaw full of sharp teeth made it look like a force to be feared.
"Manark." The creature said. Ash points his pokedex at the creature.
"Manark the manta pokemon, the evolved form of Makoron. Since few people have ever captured a Makoron, its evolved form is almost unheard of. No further information."
"I'll tell you why no one has ever captured a Manark. It's because those trainers were eaten by them." Rick explained.
"I don't want to be some pokemon dinner." James began panicking till Jessie knock him out.
"Well I'm not going to allow some pokemon to eat any of us. Pidgeot whirlwind attack.
"Pidge ot ot ot ot ot." Pidgeot created a large whirlwind attack the stuck Manark. The Manark however was unaffected. The Manark dashed toward Pidgeot at break neck speed. Pidgeot was hit and fell in to the water. Ash recalled Pidgeot.
"Lapras give it a body slam." Lapras charged toward the manta pokemon delivering a powerful blow. "Okay Blastoise use ice missile."
"Bl." Blastoise's gun came out of its back. "Ast." A pale looking missile popped out of the one of the cannons. "Oise." Blastoise shot the missile hit Manark on its underside. Manark became frozen and fell back into the water.
"Pokeball go." Ash threw the pokeball hitting Manark and sucking inside the ball. Blastoise caught the ball and threw abroad the boat. The ball wiggled a few times before stopping. "All right. I caught Manark." Ash picks up the pokeball.
"Congratulations Ash. You're the first person to capture a wild Manark." Rick said over the radio.
"I guess you got luckily." Misty said slyly.
"What? I caught Manark with my skill. Luck had nothing to do with this." Misty kisses Ash on the cheek stopping him form saying further.
"Just kidding. You deserve Manark. To bad I didn't get that Dollyfin."
"Don't worry Misty, you'll capture one sooner or later." Ash hugged Misty comforting her.
"Hey you two. Save it for later." Jessie and James waved form their boat disturbing the two lovers.
"Well we should head back for shore."
"You know I wonder what happened to team rocket." Misty shrugged
"I guess they ran off when they begin losing." Ash started the boat and drove the boat back to shore.
Later that day Misty was sitting on the docks looking at the sun setting. Ash and Pikachu walked up to her and sat down. "Still thinking about that Dollyfin aren't you?" Ash asked his girl.
"Yeah. I wish I could have captured it. Some water master I am."
"Hey don't put yourself down so much. Actually if you did capture that Dollyfin, it probably wouldn't of gotten the other Dollyfins and saved us."
"True. But still it was seemed very cute and I want it badly." Pikachu's ears perk up and looks around.
"What is it Pikachu?" Pikachu walks over to the said of the dock. Ash and Misty follow Pikachu. At the end of the dock there was a Dollyfin swimming there.
"Oh look a Dollyfin. I think it's the one that I tried to capture earlier. But what's it doing here."
"Dolllllllllllllly." The pokemon says. Pikachu translates for Ash.
"It says that it came here looking for you. It saw you at the battle and liked your courage for facing the Makorons. It wants to join you."
"Well ok. Pokeball GO!" Misty threw the pokeball and Dollyfin went inside. Misty jumped into the air in with excitement. "Wow I caught a Dollyfin." Ash starts laughing.
"What's so funny?" Misty asked.
"Well it's the situation. Here you catch a pokemon because it joins you, when you always diss me about that fact that pokemon always join with me."
"Well this is different. This is my pokemon so there. And anyway those pokemon only joined you because you were a pathetic trainer that could catch a cold in the arctic."
"And what am I now that I may ask." Ash asked.
"Well come here and I'll tell you." Ash moved towards Misty and two embraced each other. Pikachu walked back to van where the others were waiting for them.
"So I guess we should give them five minutes then." James asked Pikachu. Pikachu nodded.
"Well then why don't we...."
"Um Isaac will be in the van if you need us." Jessie and James ran into the van and locked the doors. (authors note: There just kissing. I repeat they are all just kissing.) Isaac sits on the curb with Pikachu next to him. Isaac and Pikachu stare at each other.
"Man, I really need girlfriend." Isaac says as he goes to the vending machine.
