Disclaimer: I'll say what I always say. I don't own pokémon, but like 25% of Americans I wish I did. I do own Meyer, Electra, Lansky, and most of the plot. I don't own most of the setting due to this being in Dragoness universe.

To the reviewers:

Dragoness: Why Ash didn't freak out will be answered when they find Gary. As for what happened to everyone else, well this chapter will provide some clues.

Alex Warlorn: How Ash evolved without the mental overload also has a lot to do with Gary as well as Holly. Besides, he did have a porygon trying to reprogram his mind so that might have had something to do with it....

Poke Actor: I suppose it will get weirder, and I glad you like it.

KissDarkness: Your wait is over for now. Let the reading of the strangeness begin.

{Note: I'm sorry if this is short, but the idea mill ran a bit dry, and this was a charter and transition chapter anyway, so I just wrote what was need to further the story and I'm rambling, and I hate it when do that so I'll just let you read.}




Sometimes a story has different points of views. Sometimes diverse people can best explain an event. One such event was the night that a boy named Ash Ketchum won the pokémon league.

Pokémon Oaked: Styled Vision 11 the search for ice cream, the hunting of ghosts and returning home.


{Billie's POV}

I found myself surrounded by good company and cheer. Ash won in the first place of the league tournament. But even I could sense that there was a lot of underling sadness. Gary was still missing and Ash was gearing up to find him. Gary's remaining pokémon were being distracted. Smoochum was playing with Togepi and Pikachu was busy chatting with Electra. I was watching the others have fun. I looked at my partner as he was listening to Brock and Professor Oak telling him about his strategy in the last battles.

"A penny for your thoughts," Sabrina asked walked up to me.

"I'm not thinking about much of anything. I'm just wondering how Ash is always so carefree it seems sometimes," I answered.

"Its not like he isn't concerned about Gary or his Rocket troubles, but he is determined to not let those problems hold him back," Sabrina said.

"True. But I still can't shake this feeling of impending doom," I said looking at Squirtle starting a conversation with Bulbasaur. "But maybe I just need sometime on my own," I said with a small smile.

"Well, ok just don't be to late back. With all that's happing it my not be a good idea," Sabina said.

I nodded then walked out of the room. I left the townhouse from the backdoor, and stood looking at the stars. (I guess it's time to look around,)

{Lansky's POV}

My friend and I where standing looking at the large cold machine. We were trying to find how to get some more ice cream.

*Let's try climbing on the counter, * my friend Togepi said. I liked talking to him since he always had such good ideas.

*OK let's, * I said as we moved over to the counter. We had just started to when Pikachu and Electra walked in.

*What are you two doing? * He asked. They both moved over to us and moved s to the ground.

*You two shouldn't be climbing around in here. If you need something ask, * Electra chided gently.

*We just wanted some ice cream, * I said softly.

*Yeah we weren't going to hurt our selves or something, * Togepi said pouting.

Electra sighed the quickly climbed up the counter and reached over and opened the top part of the cold machine. She almost over balanced but she caught her self. Glancing inside while the door started to close again. She turned to us and said, *There isn't any ice cream in here. It all was eaten at the victory party.

*No ice cream? * Togepi and I asked at the same time.

*No ice cream, * She said climbing back down. Sad, Togepi and I left the room.

*Now what? * I asked Togepi.

*Hmm... I think we should go get some more, * Togepi said.

*But the grown-ups will never let us. They don't let us do anything, * I complained.

*Not if one of us goes out and the other distracts them, * Togepi said.

*That's a great idea, * I said. *But let's do it when it everyone goes to sleep. *

*Ok, now let's play Tag, and your It! * Togepi exclaimed as he ran off suddenly.

*Hey no fair! * I exclaimed as ran after him.

I walked and looked around at the last of the celebration. The Kanto pokémon league was over for one more year. People and pokémon helped each other to take down the decorations. (It seems like we are passing from time to another,) I thought. I glanced up to nature's lights when I saw a black shadow fly above me and toward the pokémon center. (Must be some type of pokémon. I wonder,) I thought as I turned and followed.

I arrived just a few minutes behind the shadow. It seemed to pass right thought the wall next to the closed door. I sneaked around to the window next to the shuttered door and pulled out a small black box. Inside were a glasscutter, lock pick and several burglary tools. I quickly got the window open and snuck inside.

(I guess Team Rocket has some uses,) I thought as I looked around. I noticed that one of the computers was on and a haunter was using it. A Poké belt with five pokéballs was around its, no her, back and she was removing several more from the system. With eleven pokéballs she turned and floated over to the regeneration machine. Placing the first five in the machine and turned it on. While the first five where healing she placed the other pokéballs on the belt.

(A modified poké belt? And she just took out all of those and nothing else? I wonder?) I thought from my hiding place behind a couch. The first five where done, and she took those and placed those back on the belt. She floated over and turned off the computer. Floating she passed though the door again. (I better follow this might be team rocket.)

{Pikachu's POV}

It was a starry night as stood on the back baloney. I had come out here to get some air, a little after everyone had gone to sleep. As I stood my thoughts wander from one subject to another, two particular thoughts kept me up. One was about Gary. I felt that he was still out there, but I didn't know where. The other was about Electra, who was taking up more and more of my attention. I wondered if there could be something between us, when I heard a small noise below me. Looking off I noticed Lansky plodding out of the house though the back door. She hopped down the stairs and ran around the house. I quickly darted though the house and after her. By the time I reached the street she was a good distance away and moving fast.

*Hold it right there, * I yell to the little ice/psychic type. She turned noticed me then skated away as fast as she could. (So that's how she's moving so fast,) I thought to my self. I followed using agility cutting the distance between us. With out looking she reach the street and jumped landing in the back of a passing red corvette as at sped up from a changing light. Now I started to lose distance as it pulled away. I managed to barley keep it in site. Suddenly she jumped out when it stopped at red light. The only small problem was that she landed across the street.

Lucky for me the street was mostly deserted at this hour, so I managed to cross with out incident. Stopping only to catch my breath, I continued the chase.

{Billie}

I sprinted after the floating gas pokémon. She lead me along a twisting path though the streets of Indigo Plateau. The ghost seemed to be heading out of the city. I was lucky that since she was carrying the pokéballs it would take to much energy to keep phasing though matter. But even though I was running kind of face I managed to barely keep up. Sighing I pulled out a pokéball and though it in front of me. It opened to release my Venomoth.

"Follow that ghost, but don's let it see you," I ordered still on the run. My pokémon fluttered next to me for a moment, the broke off to the chase. I slowed down to a steadier jog. (I won't lose you now,) I though.

{Pikachu}

I was getting more and more frustrated. Every time I got closer she keep jumping on cars or other tricks to stay ahead. She jumped off a car and skated up to a door. She jumped and tried to open the door but it was locked. And she was still trying to figure a way in when I reached her.

*Ok kid, what are you doing out here? * I question as reached her.

*I was going to get some ice cream, * She said looking back at me. *But I can't get to it. * Glancing up I notice that we where at that sundae place Gary took us to after the fifth round battle.

*Kid that's what locks are for, * I said sighing. *Let's go home. * She was going to respond but something stopped her. I turned to see what she saw, and watched as Billie jogged by. *On second though... * I said grabbing her. *Let's see where she's going.

{Ash's POV}

I flew and fluttered thought the night air. I knew at some level I should have been scared or at least be worried. What was once a nightmare to me had come to pass. But for some reason I was having a hard time remembering why I was terrified of evolving. All I could feel was a wonderful light that seemed to be everywhere. Gliding pass the full moon, I notice that I was not going back to Indigo. Instead I found myself approaching a mist-enshrouded island. Stopping, I found myself memorizing its location.

(Why is this island so important?) I thought. Just as I had a compulsion to come here, I suddenly had one to leave. Following it I quickly zipped not to Indigo, but to Pallet. As I left to go there I felt a faint tugging at my mind and sense of foreboding.

"Something's coming," I whispered and the light shuddered.

{Billie}

I almost ran full tilt into my pokémon who had stopped in front of a clearing in a nearby forest.

"Is what I am looking for in that clearing up ahead?" I asked Venomoth. She nodded. "Thank you, return." I said calling her back. Before I look into the clearing, I heard something behind me. I turned and noticed both Pikachu and Smoochum where behind me staring at me inquisitively. I was going to ask them what they where doing here when a bright light started to shine behind me. The three of us looked into the clearing and we were surprised at what we saw...

Next Vision:

Ash meets up with everyone, and we see their reactions.
Meyer meets everyone back in Pallet.
And we find out what happened to Gary.

And the vision fades to a new concept.
