PDM: *jaw drops* I don't believe it... You kept
reading! Wow! Well, if you've read all this way, then I obviously don't need to
recap...
If you don't remember the last parts, then go back and
read, because I'm not saying it all over again anymore!
Damn... I can't resist... NOOOOOO!!!!!
Where we left off last time, Chris had just stumbled
onto a camp and heard two very familiar voices. Who are they? (If you don't
know, then you're a disgrace to the name of Pokemon!) What will happen next?
Read to find out! Without further ado, the story! *manages to choke self so I
can't say this crap anymore*
M: If you're choking yourself, can I write?
PDM: Hell, no! Move over!

"And that would be the one, Abra..." I muttered as I stood up to see Ash with Pikachu (Pokedex Info: A 1-foot-tall electric mouse Pokemon. This particular Pikachu surpasses the energy level of the average Pikachu.) on his shoulder and Misty standing next to him holding Togepi (A newly discovered egg-type baby Pokemon. Seems to know no attacks yet.) and looking worried while Brock stirred something in a pot.
"Abra abra ra ab." Abra floated to my shoulder, looking apologetic.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Ash asked, dodging a mallet swung by Misty.
"Ash! That's no way to ask!"
"Excuse me, both of you, but I don't mind. My name is Chris."
"Are you a trainer?" Ash asked.
"What do you think?" I replied, pointing to my pokeballs on my belt with my Pokedex. I had to ask the next question, even though I already knew the answer. "I hope you don't mind my asking, but what are your names?"
"My name is Ash, and this is Pikachu. Over there by the fire is Brock, and this is-"
"I'll introduce myself, thanks! I'm Misty."
"Would that be Brock and Misty of the Pewter and Cerulean City gyms?" I asked, already knowing the answers.
"Actually, yes, we are." Brock spoke up from by the fire. "Would you like to join us for breakfast?"
"Sure! Sorry about falling in on you." I replied as we sat down to a meal of some sort of stew that tasted terrific while Pikachu and Abra fought over the ketchup bottle. Apparently, Pikachu liked ketchup, too.
"Would you mind telling us a little more about yourself, Chris?" Misty asked.
"Fine with me. I'm 13 years old, and I started out just two days ago with Abra here. We've already caught a Drowzee. I like psychic-type pokemon the best of all! I also like photography a lot. Plus, I'm pretty good with computers, and I even have my own laptop. I was just starting to explore for the day when I literally stumbled onto you guys. So what's your own story? What are you guys doing now?" I had decided not to tell anyone about how I really got here.
"Well, I just competed in the Pokemon League Championships..." Ash said.
"Tell him the rest of the story!" Misty said while giving Ash the evil eye.
"Well... I lost." Ash sighed. "Even with all the help that Pikachu here gave me, I tried my hardest and still lost. So now I'm traveling around trying to train some more."
"Don't be ashamed, Ash. Even getting into the Pokemon League Competition is quite an accomplishment. And why are you two with him?" I asked of Brock and Misty.
"I have two reasons. I want to become a Pokemon breeder, so I decided to travel with Ash after he defeated me and see the world to learn all about Pokemon. The second reason is that Ash can't cook." Brock explained.
"What about you, Misty?" I inquired.
"The only reason I'm following him around is because he wrecked my bike, and I'm not leaving until he pays me back!" Misty said. But I noticed that she looked just a tiny bit uncomfortable as she said this. I doubted Ash had noticed, but I was pretty sure that I saw Brock's eyelids flicker.
"You must have really gotten her mad to make her follow you for this long, Ash!" I laughed. "But anyway, I have a kind of weird question to ask. Do you think I could travel with you guys for a while? You see, I'm kind of new at this thing, and it'd be great if I had the advice of two gym leaders and a high-ranking trainer! Well, actually, that's not the whole truth. The truth is that I'm a little lonely, even with Abra. It'd be great to travel with some humans for once!"
"Well, Chris, it's okay with me!" Ash declared. "How about you, Pikachu?"
"Pika pi!" Pikachu called from over where he was rummaging through a bag.
"Okay, then. How about you guys?"
"Fine with me, Ash!" Brock said as he got back to stirring his stew.
"That's fine! It'll be nice to travel with a boy who doesn't chase every girl he sees or one who doesn't say the same "I will be the greatest Master!" speech every 15 minutes!" Misty said before turning to take Togepi out of her pack.
"Great! Thank you! I really appreciate it." I said, feeling the happiest I had been since I got transported here. "So what were you planning on doing today?" I asked.
"I want to go train a little more with Pikachu." Ash spoke up.
"Ash, we're also getting low on supplies. I think we should start heading for Pewter City to restock." Brock pointed out.
"That's fine with me!" Misty added.
"Okay, fine! We'll train later!" Ash sighed.
"Ash, can I ask you a question?"
"What, Chris?"
"I plan to try for the Boulderbadge (Pokedex Info: The first of 8 badges you need to get) once we get to Pewter. Do you think you could help me train for it on the way through Viridian Forest?"
"That's fine. I'll find a few Bug Catchers for you to battle along the way if you'd like."
"Great! I definitely don't want to battle you... at least, not yet!" I said, laughing.
A few days later, while we were hiking through the woods, Brock was holding the map upside down and Misty was wailing on Ash with that mallet for scaring her with a bug. All in all, a pretty normal day. But then, as we walked through a clearing, a strange gas began to blow out of the trees. As we were coughing, two voices started to speak.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastation!"
"To unite all peoples within our nation!"
At this point, I noticed that Ash, Misty, and Brock were all getting giant sweatdrops.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
Then two older teenagers with extremely odd hairdos and clothes that had a large "R" on them jumped out of the bushes.
"Jessie!" said the girl with a LONG red hairdo that stuck out behind her for about 1-½ feet before curling down.
"James!" called the boy with blue hair that was parted evenly along the top and went down to his chin as he flourished a black rose.
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
Then a Meowth (Pokedex Info: A cat-type Pokemon. This particular Meowth has the singular honor of being the only Pokemon known that can speak the human language.) appeared out of nowhere to stand in front of the two teenagers.
"Meowth, dat's right!"
Then, after this speech was finally finished, Ash, sporting an enormous sweatdrop, said "Team Rocket, have you ever thought about giving it up?"
"This is the infamous Team Rocket?" I asked, already knowing the answer from watching the TV show.
(Pokedex Info: Team Rocket is a criminal organization that uses Pokemon for their own evil ends.)
"That's right, little boy. Now, twerp, hand over that Pikachu!" Jessie snapped.
"No way! Pikachu, let's go!" Ash cried.
"Ash, let me handle them. I need the experience, and they look like pushovers anyway." I said.
Team Rocket began popping several veins as Ash agreed with my analysis. "What do you mean, we look like pushovers?" James shouted.
I chose to ignore them and called Abra forward from its usual perch on my shoulder. "Abra, let's show these pushovers how to do it!"
"We aren't as easy as you think! Arbok, (Pokedex Info: A large poison-type cobra-like Pokemon) go!" Jessie said while throwing out a Pokeball that resolved itself into an Arbok.
"Weezing, you go too!" James ordered, as his Weezing (Pokedex Info: A large poison-type gas-producing Pokemon that resembles two round balls stuck together with holes for escaping gas) floated out from the trees the gas had come from.
"Abra, you show them! Use Confusion!" Abra used Confusion on both the enemy Pokemon, confusing Weezing and damaging both of them about 1/3 of their health.
"Arbok, use Poison Sting!" Jessie commanded.
"Weezing, Sludge!" James ordered.
"Abra, dodge with Teleport and follow up with Kinesis!"
Arbok attempted to use Poison Sting, but Abra teleported out of the way. Weezing, being confused, used Sludge on Arbok instead. Then from its new position, Abra used Kinesis, throwing both Weezing and Arbok against a nearby tree and knocking them both out. (I know in the game, Kinesis only reduces accuracy, but I want it to do this, so there!)
"No!" both Team Rocket members shouted.
But then, Abra began to glow.
"What's happening, Abra?" I asked.
"Chris, it's evolving!" Brock said. (Pokedex Info: Evolving has a different meaning when applied to Pokemon. Evolution occurs in two ways- from becoming stronger or from using an Evolution stone on it. What evolution does is it changes the Pokemon into a stronger and usually larger form.)
So I watched as my Abra grew larger, grew a thicker tail, and produced a spoon from somewhere to become a Kadabra. (Pokedex Info: A Kadabra is the next stage of an Abra. Its tail resembles a fox's. It has a red star on its forehead and carries a spoon in one three-fingered hand. But it wasn't done. It then turned to Team Rocket and their Pokemon and started to concentrate. Then its spoon bent while a multicolored beam shot forth from its forehead, hitting Team Rocket and hurling them and their Pokemon into the air.
"Jessie, I guess we really are pushovers!" James sniveled.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" they both shouted, disappearing into the sky with a twinkle effect.
"Great job, Kadabra!" I shouted while running up to hug it.
"That was great, Chris! With skills like that, you'll have no trouble with my dad, Flint!"
"Your dad's the gym leader now?" I asked.
"It's a long story." Brock said. "Anyway, that was a really strong Psybeam that Kadabra used."
"Is that what it was?" I asked. "I guess that's great! But one thing has to change now, Kadabra!"
"Kadabra?"
"There's no way you're riding on my shoulder now!" I laughed. "Come on, guys! Let's get going!"
So we started heading deeper into the forest, Kadabra floating at my side.
On the way through the forest, I battled several trainers with both Kadabra and Drowzee and won about $2000 in cash. (The League rules dictate that when you lose to another trainer, unless it is just a friendly fight, you must hand over 1/8 of your money.) Kadabra was still at Level 12 when we reached Pewter City, but Drowzee had gone up to Level 9 and now knew Dream Eater. All in all, both of my Pokemon trusted me very much, and I had formed a special bond with both of them. I had even been getting to understand "anime physics" better, and now could sweatdrop, anime-fall, and pop a vein at will. Plus, I had been taking pictures of everything like crazy and I had eight rolls to develop. All through the woods, I got to know all three of the others much better. One thing that still confused me was how Misty sometimes acted a little weird or uncomfortable around Ash, even though Ash had not noticed. I still thought Brock noticed it, but who knows?
