Legend of the Orb - Chapter 1
Somewhere in Johto we see Ash Ketchum with his friends Brock, Misty, and his best pal Pikachu. They're resting by a tree stump. About three feet away is a small stream. Ash and Pikachu are sitting by the stump as hungry as ever and soon fall asleep. Misty is by the stream getting a drink and watching her Horsea. Brock is...you guessed it! Making lunch. They had set up camp about ten minutes ago from the last town. Suddenly Pikachu wakes up and looks around. It's ears twitch and it zaps Ash awake with a Thundershock.
"What's wrong Pikachu?" asked a very tired Ash.
"Pika pika pikachu," replied Pikachu.
"What's the matter?" asked Misty.
"I think Pikachu heard something."
"Pika pika," Pikachu said. Then it ran through some bushes. Ash ran after it.
"What's going on? Where's Ash going?" asked Brock.
"Just follow me," replied Misty as she pulled him along.
They ran for about five minutes. On the way they try to keep up with Pikachu. Finally Pikachu stops and our three friends stop to catch their breath.

"Yolei?" asked Kari.
"Huh? What?" said Yolei.
"Let's get the others. Then we can go to Digiworld."
"O.K."
"I'll get Tai, Izzy, and Sora. You get Davis, Cody, and Mimi."
"O.K."They split up to find their friends. First Kari got her brother Tai.
"Hey Tai?"
"What Kari?"
"Can you get Izzy, Joe, and Matt?"
"Sure."
"O.K. Then I'll get Sora and T.K. We'll meet back at that fountain over there"
So Kari and her brother split up.
Meanwhile Yolei was getting Davis.
"Come on Davis hurry up!"
"Alright alright! Don't rush me!"
"I'm going to get Cody. You meet us at the school. Got it?"
"Yup."
Yolei set off to Cody's house. When she got there she knocked on the door. She waited about 2 minutes and no one answered so she rang the bell. In about half of a second she heard someone running to the door.
"Oh...hi Yolei."
"Come on Cody! Were going to Digiworld!"
"O.K. I'll meet you at the school."
"Now all that's left to get is Mimi," thought Yolei.
She went to a payphone, made sure no one was nearby and carefully dialed Mimi's phone number. The phone rang two times. Then she heard Mimi on the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mimi! It's Yolei.
"Hi!"
"Listen, we're going to the Digiworld. Think you can make it?"
"Definitely! I can't wait to see Palmon again."
"O.K. Bye! See you soon!"
"Well, that's everyone. Now to get back to the school," thought Yolei.
When Yolei got there she saw Kari and her brother Tai heading toward the school. Sora and Izzy were with them too. After they got together they saw Davis and not long after that Cody.
"Everyone present?" asked Kari.
"Yup. Except Matt had band practice, Joe had to study and T.K..."
"Is right here," said T.K.
"Mimi is going to meet us in the Digiworld," added Yolei.
"Everybody ready?" asked Davis.
"Ready!"
"Digiport open!"
______________Back in Johto..._____________________________________________________________________
Pikachu stops at a round and clear orb.
"What's that?" asked Misty.
"Let me see," said Ash.
"Be careful Ash. We don't exactly know what that is," warned Brock.
Ash slowly reached for the orb. The glow is very dull. He hesitates for a second then picks it up. He stares at it for a while. Then Misty takes a grab for it. Brock grabs it from her and almost drops it. Pikachu saves the orb and hands it back to Ash. He puts it in his pocket.
"I think we should head back you guys," said Misty.
"O.K."
The group heads back to the stream. Ash and Pikachu decide to head into the forest to see what kinds of Pokemon are around. He stops in a field and looks around. Nothing...nothing...nothing...nothing...wait! There's one! He pulls out his Pokedex and opens it.
"Mareep..."
"Mareep huh? Go Charizard!"
Charizard pops out of the pokeball and roars. Mareep saw it and attacked with Thunderbolt. Charizard flew at the Mareep and attacked with Flamethrower. Mareep fainted instantly. Ash threw a pokeball. The Mareep wiggled inside for what seemed like an eternity. Finally it was caught. Ash grabbed it called back his Charizard, and continued to look around. In less than a minute he spots a girl.
"Hi!" says the girl.
"Uh...hi."
"My name's Casey. What's yours?"
"I'm Ash."
"I saw you catch that Mareep. Do you have any badges?"
"Yeah."
"How many?"
"Uh..."
"That's alright. Do you want to battle?"
"Sure."
"Are you sure?."
"Yeah."
"It will be a three on three battle alright?"
"Fine with me."

"We're here!" yelled Davis.
Their Digimon pals all came running. They were in a forest of some kind. Suddenly they heard something. All of their Digivices were beeping. They followed the directions on the screen and found themselves in a cave.
"Hey!" said Davis.
"What?" asked Kari.
"What's that round thing over there?"
"Uh Davis. I think its called a orb," said T.K. Kari giggled.
"Whatever. Do you guys know what it is?"
Izzy picked it up and looked at it. It was clear and had a dull glow.
"I'm not sure. I'll check my labtop."
Izzy took his labtop out of his bag and flipped it open. He placed the orb on a scanner. The computer scanned...and scanned...until...
"Nothing. There's no information at all."
"That's all right."
Davis made a grab for it. He had one finger on it when Kari grabbed. Soon everyone had touched it.
"I'll keep it," said Izzy.
"Awww."
___________________The Battle Continues____________________________________________________________
"Pokeball! Go!" said Casey.
A Chicorita poped out.
"Go! Charizard." said Ash.
Chicorita was the first to attack. It used a power packed razorleaf. Charizard stomped with it's food and knocked Chicorita over. Chicorita quickly got up and used a vinewhip. Charizard flew up into the air and sent out a flamethrower. Chicorita dodged but still had a slightly singed tail. Chicorita used solarbeam. Charizard stood still for a minute. Then with fire in its eyes it used firespin. Chicorita couldn't run and was hit. It fainted instantly. Casey and Ash called back their Pokemon.
"Now for Round 2." said Casey.
Casey sent out an Eevee. Ash sent out Pikachu. Eevee attacked with Tackle. Pikachu dodged and attacked with thunderbolt. Eevee was fainted right away. Next Casey sent out Kadabra. Before Ash could send out his Pokemon...
"Prepare for trouble!"
"Make that double!"
"Not again!"
"Don't interupt the Team Rocket motto! Ahem..To Protect the world from devestation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jesse!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Meowth that's right!"
"Uh...Ash? Do you know those people?"
"Uh..yeah."
"Friends?"
"No way!"
"I thought not."
"Stop ignoring us!"
"Give us Pikachu and we'll leave."
"I'll never give you Pikachu."
Pikachu attacked them with a thunderbolt.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"
"Well..even if we didn't finish our battle...you won 2 out of 2. Good job!"
"Thanks!"
"See you at the Johto league."
"Better be prepared!"
"I will!"
As Casey walks off Ash turns around and heads the other direction.
