"Chupi! Chupi!" Pikachu finally caught up to Bayleef. "Pikapi chupi ka?" Bayleef shook her head sadly.

"Bay, bay."

"PIKAPI!!!'  Piakchu cried out at the top of his lungs, looking all around. Oh where, oh where did Ash go?

"BAYBAYLEEF!!!"

"PIKAPI PIKACHUPI!!! PIPI!!! PIKAPI!!!" Bayleef and Piakchu continued crying at the top of their lungs until their throats hurt too much to continue. Pikachu wiped a small tear way from his eye. He had to find Ash, he just had to.

"Bay…" Bayleef sighed, also very sad Suddenly, Pikachu gasped and hopped onto his feet.

"Pikapi pichuu! Pikapika pipi!" Pikachu told Bayleef, as he remembered about Togepi being left with Meowth. Bayleef nodded and together the two rushed off to go make sure they were OK.

"Wow! There's the boss's Hideout! Uh wait, jess, what was the point of coming here, anyway?" James asked his partner.

"Well… I have this strange idea that whatever turned us into these Pokemon is the boss's." Jesse replied.

"Yeah, you're right! It seems exactly like something he would do, changing pathetic humans into rare Pokémon!" James agreed, sounding a bit chirpy.

"Are you saying we're pathetic?" Jesse mumbled, but James didn't seem to hear. He dashed ahead of her toward the building. He searched around the side of the building, and then disappeared into the wall. It was a secret entrance, which only Team Rocket members knew about. Jesse followed him in, and together they snuck around the building. Luckily, it was mostly empty, for most TR members were out stealing Pokémon at the time.

"Shh, James, come here!" Jesse was looking up at a gigantic machine. "Maybe this is it! Maybe this will turn us back into humans!" James nodded excitedly, but then suddenly, his face changed to look a little sad.

"Aw, and I was just starting to have fun! Can't we wait a little longer?" James complained. Jesse gave him a sour look.

"You can stay as an Espeon, but I'm changing back into a human right now!" She told him, and then turned back to the machine. "Ok… I wonder what button I press…" She noticed a big green button, and decided to try it.

"Please work…" She whispered to herself as she covered her eyes from a blinding light. When she opened them again, the first thing she saw was James was rolling around on the floor laughing his head off.

"What's wrong?" Jesse asked. She noticed she was still an Umbreon. "Hey! Just because it didn't work doesn't mean you have to be laughing like this!" She yelled. James took a deep breath, and finally stopped laughing.

"But Jess, you're covered in pink polkadots!" He pointed a paw at her, then continued giggling.

"WHAT?" She turned around, trying to look at herself. She could clearly see that now she was pure black, with pink polkadots all over her.

"Arg! Come on James, let's get out of-" Jesse froze as she looked up at the shadowed figure staring down at them. "Oh no… Th-the boss…"

"Well, what do we have here? Two rare Pokemon appeared to have "come" to me. Heheh. What's this? A Polkadotted Umbreon? Now how did that happen? Oh well, I had better take these two to the back room." He had a nasty grin on his face. "Then we'll test you guys out." He took out two Pokéballs from his pockets, and pressed their buttons.

"No! Boss! It's Me Jesse, and-" Jesse got cut off as her and James got sucked into the Pokéballs. She forgot that the boss couldn't understand what she was saying, it was nothing more then an "Um Um Umbreon!" to him.

"I can't… walk… anymore." Misty collapsed onto the ground. She wasn't used to being on four legs like this. Ash was worn out too, especially since he had to carry Sasha on his back.

"It's OK Misty; I agree we need a break." Ash sat down beside Misty, and allowed Sasha to hop off his back. He noticed Misty looked extremely tired, like she was going to fall asleep. It was getting late out.

"Come on, let's get some sleep you guys. We'll continue to… where ever we're going, tomorrow." Ash told them. Sasha and Misty both nodded, and began to try and go to sleep. It was hard, because all three were terrified of what was going to happen to them. Even though Sasha had less to worry about then Ash and Misty, they could sense fear and sadness in her too.

Ash couldn't seem to fall asleep. He turned to where Misty was curled up, and noticed she was shivering in her sleep. Ash knew that it was really cold out, but it didn't bother him too much because he has a very thick and warm coat. He looked around for a bit more, then got up, walked over to Misty, and curled up beside her. (You know, like when two cute kitties are curled up together) After a minute or so, the shivering stopped. Ash still couldn't fall asleep though… it was almost as if something was missing. He then remembered Sasha, and looked over to where she was. She wasn't shivering, but she was holding her doll close to her, and sobbing. She couldn't possibly be asleep…

"Sasha!" Ash whispered to her. She looked up at Ash, and wiped away a tear with her paw. "Come on." Ash motioned for her to come join him and Misty. Sasha looked confused for a minute, but then gave a small smile and crawled over to them, then curled up happily with the two of them. Together, they were all asleep within minutes.

Meowth was continuously trying to hide Togepi, but somehow Togepi kept happily wandering back to where he was. Meowth almost felt like ordering Arbok to eat the thing, but he knew he couldn't do that to a fellow Pokémon. So finally Meowth gave up, and went to sleep, since it was late and getting very dark.

When he woke up, he thought of the perfect plan. He looked at all the Pokéballs, and grinned.

"Just think of all da rare Pokemon dat are in dere!" he began listing them. "Cyndaquil, Totodile, Scyther, Noctowl…" he was thinking of the perfect plan. Since Pikachu and Bayleef weren't back yet, he could take all these Pokémon to the boss, and get full credit! Then, Pikachu would probably go in there, attempting to save his friends. And with Ash gone, that'll probably just lead him into getting caught by the boss, too! "I'm gonna be rich!" Meowth cried happily, as he scooped up all the Pokéballs, and ran off with them, toward to TR hideout.

"Where on earth are they?" Pikachu looked around. He and Bayleef had been searching for ages. They were completely lost.

"I have no clue." Bayleef sighed unhappily.

"Great, first Ash disappears, then Togepi and Meowth and everybody else do too!" Pikachu turned toward Bayleef, who was frozen on the spot.

"Bayleef? You OK?" Pikachu looked confused. Suddenly, Bayleef dashed into a clearing.

"Ash!!!" She cried with happinss, as she rushed up to her trainer.

"Oh my! It's Ash!" Pikachu was just as excited. And Misty, and Tracey! "Wait a sec… something's not right." Pikachu sniffed the area. It wasn't their normal scent, he could tell. Was that person really Ash?

Bayleef knew she wasn't supposed to rush up to Ash like this (she may tackle him down) but she couldn't help it, she was much too happy. Ash stopped and sort of glared at her. As soon as she got close enough, He placed his head down in a strange way, and gave a small Headbutt. It caused Bayleef to go flying. (well not really, but you know)

"A-Ash? Why? How?" Bayleef looked up at him, sadly. Suddenly, her and Pikachu heard a small

"Psst!" From the bushes. They followed it, and hopped into the bushes. A Jolteon stared back at them.

"Pikachu! Bayleef!" he almost sounded a bit excited. "You guys, those aren't the real people you think they are. I'm not sure, but something very, very weird happened. I think I may of switched bodies with a Jolteon, and I think ash and Misty may of too, but with different Pokémon." He told them.

"Tracey?" Pikachu looked at him. "Is that you?" Tracey nodded.

"That's why they're acting so weird… they're really Pokémon."

"But if Ash and Misty were turned into Pokémon too," Pikachu started.

"Then where are they?" Bayleef finished.

Hehe. Ok, I'll admit it's still boring, no battles, no romance, no nothing. Just wait until you read part 4. ;)
