If you like Pokemon, then I've got a show for you...
Okay, so this fic is sort of an AAML fic, but hey. Life goes on. Basically, the story begins with
an accident caused by the star of the Pokemon Anime and an unlikely hero steps out of the gloom,
and triumphs, or something like that. It's not your average 'good guy, bad guy' story though...

*Abnormal Town*

It was the beginning of a perfectly normal day in a perfectly normal town with perfectly normal
people. Ash Ketchum lay back in his recliner, Pikachu snoozing on the couch, snoring loudly,
drool dripping down his cheek. The drool caught onto Pikachu's cheek, causing a powerful electric
charge to start. It emitted such a powerful shock that all the buildings on the whole of Abnormal
Island burnt down to a crisp. Luckily their buildings weren't very tall, so basically everyone
just fell down to the ground. Ash jumped up and was startled to be able to see across the whole
island, which wasn't that big, and to see most everyone lying out in the open. People began
getting to their feet to dust themselves off. Pikachu hid behind Ash's leg, tugging at his pants.

"Pi pika chu chuka kapi pikachu!!" He pleaded.

"Um, Pikachu, I don't speak Pika Pika." Ash reminded his furry little friend.

"Chu." He sweatdropped.

Now, there was a young man by the name of Tracey Sketchit. Every day, he would go out into the
very small forest of Abnormal to sketch some wild Pokemon, and to yell at the 4Kids corporation
for making a horrible pun out of his name. Of course, the 4Kids corporation wasn't actually
there, but, with the help of Cubix- Robots for Everyone - everybody had a robot for a friend.

Er-hem, just forget the Cubix part.

Now, as I was saying, this Tracey Sketchit took a walk every day, which he was currently taking.
He hummed a happy tune as he strolled along the peaceful beaches of Abnormal Island. Out of
nowhere known to Tracey, the whole island shook and all the buildings- *POOF* - disappeared.

"Wha-w-what?" Tracey twitched. "Okay, so some evil force just destroyed my home. Now what am I
going to do?" He pauses. "Okay, I've got it!" He begins to walk cautiously into what USED to
be Abnormal Town. People are sprawled out on the singed ground wondering what started it. All
eyes suddenly turn to Ash.

"You- you did this!"
"We always knew you didn't have any common sense."
"Stupid little boy!"

"Hey, it wasn't me!" He pointed to his chest and shrugged.

"Then who was it, Ashy boy?" Duplica said rudely.

"It was-it was- Pikachu!" Ash picked up the cowering electric mouse Pokemon from its hiding place
behind Ash's leg.

Pikachu shivered. "Pi-i ka-chu-uu...." He sweatdropped.

Just then, a Ledyba swooped down from the sky and scooped up Pikachu.

"Pi?" Pikachu looked confused.

"Rii rii ri riii." Ledyba explained.

"Chuu." Pikachu sighed in relief as they flew off together towards Pinkan Island.

*Meanwhile, on Abnormal Island...*

"What're you doing with Pikachu?!?" Ash screamed, shaking his fists at the tiny dot in the
distance that was Ledyba and Pikachu.

There was a long pause in which every eye was fixed on Ash Ketchum.

"Ummmmm...uhhh....I can explain this....." He explained desperately, sweatdropping like the end
was near, which, for him, it probably was.

People grabbed nearby pitchforks and torches (even though it was around noon) and began marching
slowly towards Ash. Ash began to back off.

"I didn't do it, I swear!!" He exclaimed, knowing it was all too late.

Misty jumped out of the crowd and stood next to him.

"Don't hurt him!" She yelled, then turned to Ash and touched his arm gently. "I-I love you, Ash!"

She gazed into his eyes.

"I love you too, Misty."

They bent close to each other, about to kiss, when...

Psyduck popped out of its Pokeball.

Misty got all huge and Psyduck got all small, cowering. "YOU STUPID POKEMON! YOU SPOILED THE
ROMANCE!"

Psyduck shrugged. "Psyduck?"

"Stupid Pokemon...." Misty said, insulted. Everyone sweatdropped.

The crowd of enraged townspeople steadily pursued the couple of troublemakers.

"My home!"

"My treehouse!"

"My girlfriend!"

All eyes turned to the teenager that said that Ash destroyed his girlfriend. There was a long
moment of silence, and then finally the boy spoke.

"My girlfriend was a paper doll." He shrugged.

The rest of the crowd shrugged in response and continued their chase of the two rebels, shouting
and hollering.

"Think we can outrun them, Ash?" Misty asked between labored breaths.

"I'm - not - sure - maybe - try - calling - Charizard-" Ash panted, trying to keep up with Misty.

"CHARIZARD!!!!!" Ash and Misty both yelled in unison.

*Far away, in that place with all the Charizard*

"...izard..." Charizard heard from a distance.
"Zaa?" It sat upright for a moment, considering what he had heard, and then began flying. Since
Charizard are very fast flyers, it only took him about five minutes to get there.

"ZAAARD!" Charizard roared and sent a flamethrower flying towards the sun. He then swooped down
from the sky and scooped up Ash and Misty.

"Thank you, Charizard. You saved my life." Ash stroked the back of his lizard friend's neck, and
for some odd reason it purred. Ash then turned around to face Misty.

"I'm sorry I got you into all this, Misty. You could have been hurt." He said, looking her in the
eye.

"But if you hadn't gotten me into this in the first place, we wouldn't be here together, flying
over the ocean, through the clouds..." Misty bent over and was about to kiss Ash when he cut her
off.

"Hey! Are you saying it was all my fault?"

"Well you just admitted it right in front of me!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!- Hey! When will I get my bike back, Ash Ketchum?"

"When I can afford it!"

"When will that be?"

"When I am declared the World's Greatest Pokemon Master!"

"Oh, so in fifty-seven years?"

"Hey! No, in about two months. That's when the next Indigo League Tournament is held."

"Let's just hope you win that.."

Their argument fades away as Charizard flies the bickering couple to a tropical uninhabited
island, so Ash, Misty, and perhaps Charizard can create their own, um, place.

That's all for chapter one. The next chapter will be out in a few days, and, trust me, it'll be
worth the wait. ^^ Flames welcome - on one condition. None about Tracey, k? ^^ He's so totemo
goku kawaii.....
