Disclaimer: All anime characters portrayed in this series are owned by their respective creators, as are any original characters that appear. This is a work of fanfiction and is not to be taken literally.

Character Note: In real life, Fluffy is my plushie Charmander. Therefore, it is only logical that Fluffy remain a Charmander. This particular Charmander is only about 1' tall rather than the standard 2' from the gameboy game. If you are anyone other than this Pokemon's trainer, I would suggest you keep your fingers away from his mouth if you value your fingers. He is more tolerant of girls than boys. You have been warned.

Character Note2: All of Rachel's Pokemon are the result of what I happen to have in the Red Version of the gameboy game.

Author's Note: In this story, the manga Pokemon universe as well as some of its characters and monsters will be mentioned.

------Introduction------

"I am never going to get used to that," muttered Crystal as she woke up.

Lip groaned before sitting up, "Now where are we?"

"You're starting to sound a lot like Ryoga," noted Shiva.

Rachel sat up and rubbed her eyes, "Has anyone seen Zapmon?"

"No, I think she was probably left back in the digital world because she belongs there," stated Crystal irritably.

"That doesn't explain why we are still in the forest," noted Shiva.

I surveyed the area, "Well this place certainly isn't a digital forest."

------Anime Crisis Part 2: Dimension Hopping------

[My POV]

I reached into my pocket to check on my digivice. From the looks of it, the thing had become a v-pet again. On the screen was what appeared to be a V-mon, but it was shaded so that I could tell it was actually Zapmon. Well, that solved one mystery.

As I went to put the digivice back in my pocket I came across something else that had definately not been there before. I put the digivice away and removed the new object. A sweatdrop trickled down the side of my face as I surveyed the object and took another good look around. One thought went through my head ~Why is everything so angular?~

The object from my pocket was a pokedex. Upon further inspection I realised that aside from the black jeans and tank-top I was wearing, I had a belt with six pokeballs clipped to it. I could feel another sweatdrop forming.

"Do any of you lunatics know where we are?!" demanded Lip.

I sighed, "It appears we have been sucked into the world of Pokemon."

"More monsters. Just what we needed," muttered Lip.

Shiva asked, "Can we have some lunch?"

"Do you see a restaurant around here Shiva?" replied Crystal.

Shiva whined, "But I'm hungry."

"YOU'RE ALWAYS HUNGRY!" shouted Crystal, Lip and I at the same time.

"So, I'm allowed to be hungry, aren't I?" said Shiva.

Crystal glared at me, "This is your fault you know."

I decided to ignore her glare and reached for one of the pokeballs that was on my belt. I noticed that the button on it was labled 'Fluffy' and blinked. That was the name of the plushie Charmander I brought to the school Anime Club from time to time. I shrugged and pushed the button anyway. The pokeball increased in size. I pushed the button again and threw the ball towards the ground in front of me.

The ball openned and a red beam of light shot out, taking the form of a small Charmander. The pokeball bounced back into my hand and I re-clipped it to my belt.

I blinked as flames seemed to form in Fluffy's eyes as he caught site of Shiva and Lip. It occured to me that the real Shiva and my brother had both at some point or another tried to bite and/or swallow the plushie version of Fluffy. Apparently the real one was holding a grudge against the characters that those two happened to make up.

Fluffy openned his mouth and a burst of flame shot at Lip, "Charrrrrrrr!"

Lip started running around in circles trying to put the fire on his clothing out. Crystal broke down laughing. Fluffy switched his attention to Shiva. Somehow the little pocket monster was aware of Shiva's immunity to the various elementals. Fluffy charged at Shiva and--

*CHOMP!*

"Get this thing off of me!" explained Shiva as Fluffy latched onto Shiva's arm with his teeth.

Crystal started laughing harder. Lip had recovered after Fluffy had demonstrated his 'Flamethrower' attack. Lip approached Shiva and made an attempt to pry Fluffy off of Shiva's arm. Fluffy responded by striking the front of Lip's shirt with his tail flame. Lip went back to circling around trying to put the fire out.

"Dammit Rachel, recall this thing!" shouted Shiva indicating Fluffy. He shook his arm violently and the thing still wouldn't let go.

Crystal was laughing so hard that tears were streaming from her eyes. I reluctantly removed the pokeball from my belt and recalled Fluffy.

"Isn't Fluffy cute?" I asked.

Lip glared at me, as did Shiva. Lip said, "You call that thing cute?!"

"I guess he doesn't like you two," I stated firmly.

Crystal was still rolling with laughter. Shiva glared over in her direction, "You aren't helping things you know."

Crystal stopped and got to her feet, "But you've got to admit. That was really funny."

*~*~*~*~*

[Larry POV]

A short time later it was dark. The group had set up camp in a clearing in the forest, and with the help of Fluffy, a fire had been started. Lip and Shiva weren't in favor of the idea, but Rachel had insisted on letting out all of the Pokemon that were with her for one reason or another. The other five Pokemon, besides Fluffy, were a Pikachu name Sparky, [Since I go with manga references when it comes to Pokemon, Richie's Pikachu is named Chuchino!] a Farfetch'd named Dux, a Growlithe named Okibi, a Haunter named Shadow and a Psyduck named Speed-Star. Rachel's other Pokemon were not constantly on the verge of striking down Shiva.

Fluffy was still glaring daggers at Lip and Shiva, but had calmed down considerably and was no longer bent on killing the two of them.

[My POV]

"Fluffy really is a cute Charmander," stated Crystal.

"Isn't he?" I replied.

Shiva and Lip both looked disgusted by the way we were acting. Apparently they failed to realize that Crystal and I didn't care. It was also nice to see that Crystal had apparently forgiven me for this whole incident.

[Larry POV]

The hour grew late. Eventually all of them were asleep under the stars, after having let their fire burn out. It was a peaceful night, and in the world of Anime, there is no telling just how long that will last.

*~*~*~*~*

And so it was, that a few hours later into the night, we were awoken by a pair of voices that Rachel happened to be all-too-familiar with.

[My POV]

"Prepare for trouble," said the first voice.

"And make it double," said the second voice.

Shiva raised an eyebrow as two figures jumped out of a nearby tree in some silly poses. Lip gave them a glare that promised great pain if they didn't just shut up and leave now. Crystal was laughing again.

"To protect the world from devastation," continued the first voice.

"To unite all peoples within our nation," continued the second voice.

I sweatdropped.

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light."

"Surrender now or prepare to fight."

Meowth made his presence known as he jumped out of the same tree that his comrades had appeared from.

"Meowth! That's right!"

Crystal, Shiva, Lip and I traded more sweatdrops. I was aware that 'my' Pokemon were still out and all six of them were close-by.

Meowth continued, "You're not our usual targets, but we couldn't pass up the chance for some easy Pokemon, especially with how rare some of those are."

I was aware that as it was, he could have been refering to any of my Pokemon.

"Well I can see one fatal mistake here," noted Crystal. "You woke us up with that stupid motto of yours."

"The Team Rocket motto is not stupid," stated James.

Shiva had to agree with Crystal, even if he was still a little made about before, "Actually, if you three had been quiet you might have won. However, since we're awake you don't stand a chance."

I took that as my cue to do something, "Fluffy, Okibi, Sparky, Shadow, team Flamethrower, Thunderbolt combo!"

Fluffy and Okibi unleashed their 'Flamethrower' attacks on Team Rocket while Sparky and Shadow teamed up and combined their 'Thunderbolt' attacks on Team Rocket. The combined blasts sent Team Rocket flying into the horizon.

*PING!*

"Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again!"

Crystal, Lip, Shiva and I all exchanged a few more sweatdrops. I decided to recall all six of 'my' Pokemon. The world around us became sort of blurry and then it just became to blinding to look at.

[Larry POV]

Rachel, Crystal, Shiva and Lip all lost consciousness once again.

*~*~*~*~*

The group awoke to find themselves in what appeared to be another forest. It was light out, which meant that they must have been out for at least a little while.

"Where the @#$% are we?!" shouted Lip yet again.

Crystal sweatdropped, "You really are starting to sound like Ryoga."

"You shouldn't quit your day job though," concluded Shiva.

[My POV]

I reached into my pocket and found my digivice. It was real again, and Zapmon was no longer within it. I took a quick look around.

"Has anyone seen Zapmon?"

"I thought she was gone for good," noted Shiva.

I shook my head, "No, she was just turned into a v-pet while we were in a world that she couldn't format her data in."

Zapmon strolled out from behind a bush carrying several dozen boxes of pizza on one hand. Shiva brightened at the sight of food. Zapmon saw this and tossed him one of the boxes.

"You guys sure were out of it for a while," noted Zapmon. "I figured I might as well get you something to eat."

I sweatdropped, "Thanks Zapmon."

[Larry POV]

While the group tried to figure out where they were this time, they started having a large breakfast of pizza. All four humanoid lifeforms mentally agreed not to ask where or how Zapmon had aquired so much pizza.

"Mmm, pizza pie," stated Shiva dreamily.

Rachel, Crystal and Lip all sweatdropped.

"What? I like pie," said Shiva sounding a little hurt.

"Uh...Shiva?" began Rachel.

Shiva blinked, "What?"

"When Fluffy bit you, why didn't you use a water elemental?" asked Rachel.

"That's a good question," stated Shiva. "I blame the author." He glared at Rachel meaningfully.

Rachel sweatdropped, "Don't blame me. I haven't writen the story yet."
