****I DON'T OWN ANIMORPHS OR POKEMON***********************************

Chapter 11:

The Pokemon Strike Back or General Pikachu and the Pokemon Brigade

(Pikachu)

I woke up to see Ash was still asleep and I began to worry about his safety. What would happen if the Animorphs were unable to defeat these things called Yeerks? Would Ash be infested by one of those slimy slugs? Would he be killed? Tears began to well up in my eyes as the thoughts of Ash being a prisoner within his own body and being tortured by some cruel and merciless slug that's wrapped around his brain. Finally, the answer came to me in a flash. No longer would I stay here, doing nothing. Now, I would fight. As I gave Ash a small hug to say good-bye, I noticed someone getting out of their pokeball. Quickly, I tackled the mysterious assailant to find out it was Psyduck.

"Psyduck, what are you doing up?" I asked him in a whisper.

"I'm trying to prevent you from making a mistake." Psyduck said scolding me.

"Listen, I can't stand by while Ash is steps closer to infestation every day." I said to him. "So, if you want to try to stop me; give it your best shot."

"Not without me, you're not."A voice said from the darkness.

"Or me." Another voice said.

Two figures came out of the darkness. One of them was a friend now for three years, Ash's Charizard. The other Poke mon was Hindama, Sumi's Magmar.

"Great!" Psyduck exclaimed, then noticed Misty shifting position. "This is a human matter. Not a Pokemon matter. We should wait and see what happens."

Hindama had a look of disbelief on his face. "You idiot! Don't you realize what's happening here? The Yeerks can infest us as easily as they can infest us as easily as they can the humans. I remember this one mission when Sumi had fallen into the Yeerk Pool. Even now, I regret ever finding out about that pool. We had gotten her out of the Pool, but a single Yeerk slug had gotten into her head. Piko was the first one of to notice any difference in her. Then , the fight began. Every time that slug would use her body to morph, I'd fight her. The last time we'd fought, I nearly killed her. So, if there is anything I can do to end their reign of terror, you can find me at your side, Pikachu."

"What about you, Charizard?" Psyduck asked trying to make the great dragon not go along with the plan. "Why are you going?"

"Ash would probably have my hide for a suitcase if anything happened to Pikachu. That's why I'm going." Charizard said.

"When did this become a Pokemon matter?" Psyduck asked.

"When a Scyther-Controller pointed a Dracon Beam Rifle at Ash." I replied. "That's when it became my problem."

The three of us headed out of the cave and I had the distinct feeling that we were being watched. I turned to see Cassie perched outside the cave.

"Well, if it isn't the disembodied human." I said to her.

I may not have been in Celibi's body long, but I can use all of her abilities. Cassie said to us. Where are you going?

"We have to fight. Will you tell them that?" I asked.

I will do what I can. Cassie said.

We walked away from the cave to a Pokemon gathering site where we would try to form the army. I stood up on a rock.

"Now, listen to me fellow Pokemon! We have come to give you a warning. The Yeerks are coming! They will infest us all unless we fight back! Who's with me?!" I yelled.

All of the Pokemon there seemed frightened by my words. I thought I would fail in my attempt to sway them until a Magikarp who heard my words turned towards me.

"I'm with you, Pikachu!" The Magikarp yelled. "I may be one of the weakest Pokemon here but I will fight with you."

"Everyone, look at that Pokemon. He's showing the courage to fight and he's the weakest one among you. If he's willing to fight the Yeerks, why aren't you?" I asked them.

Soon, I had my army and I began to plan out this war. We began to attack small Yeerk installations and at one of them, I found this miniature Army General's uniform. For some reason, it had a corn-cob pipe and a riding crop. So as a joke to start off with, I began to wear it until the other Pokemon thought I looked serious. Then, I kept it on.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: This suit is suppose to look like a General MacArthur type look on Pikachu. Come on, it's going to be cute if Pikachu has a corn-cob pipe, sunglasses, a general's outfit on, and a riding crop. Back to the story.

"Com'n, let go of me you morons!" I heard Meowth yell.

I turned in that direction to see Meowth being held by two of my SSS members(Scyther Special Squad). SSS was one of my special forces teams and you had to by a Scyther or a Scizor to even by considered a member. I motioned for them to let him go.

"Now, what's this about, Meowth?" I asked him.

"I heard through the Pokeberry vine that you were starting up some kind of Pokemon military and I thought that I'd make the perfect soldier so I decided to try to find you guys so that I could enlist, but these two idiots attacked me and then grabbed me and dragged me off and I thought I was going to get it until I saw that you were actually the one in command and that made me feel better." Meowth said rapidly.

I whacked him in his right ear with my riding crop.

"What was that for?!" Meowth asked in pain.

"Could you slow that down and use more than an eighty-two word run on sentence?" I asked him.

"Simple, I want to enlist." Meowth said.

"Aren't Jesse and James infested?" I asked curious.

"Are you kidding? Those two have a collective I.Q. of two. No Yeerk in their right mind would infest those two buffoons." Meowth said.

I motioned to a Growlithe lieutenant.

"Sure you can enlist. Lieutenant, would you please escort this lieutenant to Colonel Hindama and tell the Colonel that he should pay "special" attention to this Pokemon." I said.

(Four days later)

I walked over to Pokemon Intelligence, our version of the CIA, and saw the Director. The Director, obviously, had to be an Alakazam.

"Anything new?" I asked the Alakazam.

"One of our platoons ran into a few Hork-Bajir Controllers. They managed to destroy most of their Bug Fighters while on the ground and captured the Hork-Bajir. We're proceeding to starve the Yeerks in order to free the hosts." Director Alakazam said. "One managed to get off the ground but a Level 86 Pidgeot was able to Razor Wing it out of existence."

"Has the evidence of our attack been destroyed?" I asked. "Already had the Sixth Gyrados Force Hyper Beam the destroyed Bug Fighters and had the First Blastoise Division put out the flames. The Seven Bulbasaur Brigade has already replanted the area as if nothing has happened." Director Alakazam said proudly. "Those slugs never knew what hit them."

"Better get a few Scythers to slice off a lot of bark for the Hork-Bajir." I said.

"Bark?" Director Alakazam asked wondering what I meant by that.

"Hork-Bajir are herbivores. You might not believe this but those blades on them aren't meant for killing. They're meant for slicing bark off of trees. Plus, they're one of the gentlest creatures you could have as a friend."I said to the astounded Pokemon.

"How do you know all of this?" Director Alakazam asked.

"I was informed of this by humans from another reality and..." I began to say until Colonel Charizard(Ash's Charizard) rushed over to me.

"We have trouble. The Yeerks have found us. They'll be here in four hours." Colonel Charizard said.

"Rally the troops." I said.

In twenty minutes, my army was ready. We waited for them and the Yeerks attacked in full force. Ten Blade ships and hundreds of Bug Fighters began the assault and I told the Venusaurs to hammer them with Razor Leaf. A storm of razor-sharp leaves tore through the Yeerk vessels like tissue paper, destroying the invaders. A hundred Venusaurs Vine whipped a Blade Ship and dragged it down to the ground. Two SSS squads went into the ship and took it over. We moved into to another location where the Animorphs could get a hold of it.

"PIKACHU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ash yelled.

I already told you, Ash, thirty-nine thousand eight-hundred and fifty-three times already. Pikachu went off to fight the Yeerks. Cassie said to the trainer.

"But he can't. He could get hurt." Ash said.

"So could you, Ash." Misty replied to him. "Pikachu probably did this to try to save you from them."

I turned my gaze over to Elfangor who was staring over the area. It was hard to make myself know that this wasn't my Elfangor, the one who gave me the morphing power. Technically, he is that too since we used the "Johto" morphing cube which extended our morphing power up to ten hours, according to Ax, Elfangor, Graniope, and Trenica. Personally, I would rather stick with that eight-hour deadline. Andalite theories have been wrong before.

I see a Charizard in the distance, Ash. Elfangor said. It's markings identify it as yours.

Ash turned to his attention towards the sky to see his Charizard swooping down to meet them. Hindama, Pikachu and Meowth were with them. I thought Pikachu was kind of cute in his General MacArthur outfit on.

"Pikachu's kind of cute in that costume." Misty said.

What? Of course he's cute. Is your brain water-soluble? I thought.

You're right. Cassie said to me.

Pikachu ran over to Ash.

"PIKA-PI!" Pikachu exclaimed.

"Pikachu!" Ash yelled.

The trainer and his starter Pokemon hugged until Meowth decided to interrupt. "Not that I don't mind this touching reunion but we have bigger problems in this little war of ours." Meowth said.

"What do you mean?" Sumi asked.

"Isn't it simple?" Nekra asked. "We're going to be frying Yeerk tomorrow."

I had already decided that I liked Nekra.

"If you'd all morph or pull out a flying Pokemon, we'll show you what we mean by trouble. One thing is for sure, you Andalites might like having a ship." Meowth continued.

What kind of ship did you find? Trenica asked.

"Well, my pretty Andalite. We found, no, downed is a better word. We downed a Yeerk Blade Ship, formerly owned by a Visser Three." Meowth said. "I was surprised that a single Pay Day attack killed him. Not half as surprised as that Bulbasaur had been. Right, Pikachu?"

Pikachu, Hindama, Meowth, and Charizard began to laugh. When they stopped laughing, we morphed or used flying Pokemon to follow Ash's Charizard to a secret cavern in Kanto. We walked to a chamber where an Alakazam had set up a large monitor. Everyone in morph demorphed and sat down for the briefing. An image of a Pokemon in a tank appeared on the monitor.

"According to the data that we were able to recover, the Yeerks had extracted DNA from Celibi's body. Combining that DNA with Mew, Lugia, Moltres, Articuno, Zapdos, Entei, Suicune, Mr. Mime, Alakazam, Hork-Bajir, and Andalite, they managed to create a Pokemon of unimaginable power. According to the records, Visser One will transfer out of his Andalite host and go into this Pokemon which they have dubbed Pendibi. If this Pokemon is completed, then the Yeerks will be unstoppable." Meowth said to us giving us bad news.

Do you have some kind of plan in order to destroy it? Elfangor asked.

"Yes, we do." Meowth said.
