That was my favorite adventure with my brother and my boyfriend. James and I worked hard. We both had fun though, beating the Elite. This next story is sort of strange because a Poke'mon teaches me a lesson. Read on trainers.

" What's going on here?" asked Mewtwo, with curiosity. " Why in the world are—"

" Be quiet, Mewtwo," I said, angrily. " Dad, I'm tired of your team following me around."

" I'm trying to catch, excuse me, steal RARE Poke'mon," said my dad.

" Ashley," said Mewtwo, " you are going to, with your father, stay in the wild. That way you can learn more about being part Poke'mon."

" What!!" shouted Ash, running in, out of breath. " You can't do that to Ashley and her father."

" Why not?" asked Mewtwo, trying to teach me a lesson when fighting with an old adult. " She knows not to use her Poke'mon powers to fight with her own family members."

" My father needs to keep Team Rocket under control," I said, lying on the floor after being thrown against the wall by Mewtwo. " Every where I go, Butch and Cassidy are always trying to take our Poke'mon."

" If I had finished stealing the Poke'mon I needed," said Giovanni, Ashley's father, " I'd be rich."

" Well if I can't get this through to you," I said, " I might as well leave."

" Fine," replied Giovanni.

" Rapidash, go!" I shouted, throwing a Poke'ball. " Let's get outta here, Rapidash."

" Neigh!" said Rapidash. (translated, " Okay.")

As I got on the fire horse, James said, " You can't go." He started running after the horse.

" Let her go, James," said Mewtwo. " You will go after her and bring her back to me. Then she will get her punishment."

" Alright," said James, agreeing.

" Finally," I said, " I'm away from Viridian City. Rapidash, return." A red beam came from its Poke'ball. Rapidash disappeared from sight.

" There you are," shouted James, from behind a bush. " I was sent to bring you back to Mewtwo, but I don't plan on bringing you to him."

" Thanks, James," I said. " I needed to get away from there and fast."

" Aren't you going back to Pallet Town?" asked James. " If you're not, I'll stay with you."

" If you want," I said. " I'm off to find a colony of Raichu that I saw here earlier. Come on, let's go!" I transformed into a Raichu.

" Hey, wait for me," said James, transforming and chasing after me.

" Where is she?" asked Misty, then when back to calling my name.

" I don't know," said Ash. " Mewtwo isn't really pleased with her."

" I didn't mean to upset her," said Giovanni. " Maybe I should make Butch and Cassidy leave her and her Poke'mon alone."

" I agree," said Ash.

" Me too," said Misty.

(This next part will be translated into English instead of Poke'talk)

" Wow," said James, " look at all the Raichu. They look so peaceful."

" I know," I said. " Shall we try and join them?"

" I guess," replied James, while running up to them.

" Look out!" shouted a wild Raichu. " Scatter!" They all ran to the other side of the clearing.

" I don't think they like us," I said. " I think they think that we're outcasts."

" I agree," replied James, as he stopped running.

" What do you 2 want?" asked a wild Raichu. " You guys are nothing but outcasts."

" We want to join you," said James. " We want to be friends."

A small Raichu came out of the pack, offering its tail in friendship.

" Alright!" shouted me and James, shaking the little Raichu's tail.

Reporting back to Mewtwo, Ash said, " We can't find either of them."

" Don't worry about it, Ash. She is already learning the lesson with other Raichu," said Mewtwo.

" It's in the clearing in Viridian Forest," said Giovanni. " I sent Butch and Cassidy there to get the Raichu, and bring them back to me."

When they got near the clearing, Ash said, " I know my sister. Why don't we set a trap for her right here that way we can reason with her…if we catch her."

" Okay," said the others.

With the other Raichu… " I'll be back. Okay, James?" I asked.

" Go ahead," said James, not knowing of the trap.

" Is the trap set, Ash?" asked Giovanni. " I hear a Poke'mon coming."

" It's ready," said Ash.

" Rai!!" I shouted. (translated, " Whoa!" It's now in Poke'talk because Ash isn't part Poke'mon)

" We caught a Poke'mon!" shouted Ash.

" Very good, Ash," said Giovanni. " The trap actually worked."

" Let me outta here!" I shouted, changing from a Raichu.

" Not until you listen to me, Ashley," said Giovanni. " Butch and Cassidy are on their way to the clearing with the Raichu. You have to clear them out, that way they don't get hurt."

" Alright," I said. " And, Dad, I'm sorry for hurting you earlier."

" That's okay, Ashley," replied Giovanni.

" James! James!" I shouted.

" Yes, Ashley," said James. (I can understand Poke'talk)

" Clear out the Raichu for me," I said, " because Butch and Cassidy are coming to get them."

" Okay," replied James. " Raichu, we need to hide because we are all in grave danger."

" Okay," replied the wild Raichu.

" They're all out, Ashley," said James.

" Great," I replied.

Running toward the Raichu, " I've got to go," said James.

" Okay," said the small Raichu, shaking James' tail.

Up in a hot air balloon, " Where is the clearing, boss?" asked Butch into a radio.

" I've lost the reading," said Giovanni. " Come back to headquarters."

" Right, boss," said Cassidy.

" Thanks, Dad," I said.

" You're welcome," replied Giovanni. " Will you forgive me?"

" Only if you will forgive me," I said, giving him a hug.

" Does every adventure always have to end with a happy ending?" asked Ash.

" Not always," said James, changing from a Raichu.

" Let's go home," I said.

" Alright," said Ash, while running after me.

" Hey! Wait up!" shouted the others, running to catch up.

Well, I certainly learned my lesson. Whenever you are with adults, they always win fights. Till next time trainers!
