Chapter One



"Ash! You moron! You got us all lost again!"

"Me? Misty, you said this way would take us back to Viridian City!"

"Look, smarty pants, if you would have made a right when I said to, maybe we would be there now! Look where we are! We're a million miles away from Viridian City, stuck in a forest with YOU!"

"Hey! I said to follow the map, but nooo, you had to take a short cut!"

"It IS a short cut! You just made the wrong cut!"

"Chill out," Brock said trying to calm the two down. Pikachu was following behind the group. He liked watching Ash and Misty quarrel. Togepi passed Pikachu the popcorn as they watched the fight continue. Brock slapped his head and sat down waiting for them to stop.

The next morning, the two finally gave up because of thirst. Ash begged for water while Misty demanded it. Brock woke up, chucked them both a thermos full of water, and they both chugged it down. "You know," Brock started to talk to them, "you two act like boyfriend and girlfriend."

Ash and Misty looked at each other. "DO NOT!" they both yelled back at the same time. Pikachu and Togepi was awake. They both stared at their trainers as if Ash and Misty were a comedy show shown on TV. Ash and Misty, who both were able to talk without thirst, argued again.



"Jessie, are you sure this trap will work this time?" James asked as Team Rocket was digging a hole in the ground.

"Well, has it worked every other time?"

"No..."

"So it won't work!"

"Then why are digging a hole?"

"Because we can! Get back to work!"

After Team Rocket digged the hole, they covered it up, hid behind the bushes, and waited for Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu to go by. The hole failed and just as the group was out of site, Team Rocket stood right into the middle of the path thinking why the hole didn't fall. Bad idea, the floor collapsed under them and they fell in.



The group was starving later that day. Brock left his backpack on a stump and a herd of Rattatas stole all the food. "I want pizza!" Ash yelled. "I want chicken soup!" Misty yelled. "Pika Pi! (I want ketchup!)" Pikachu yelled. "I want Nurse Joy!" Brock yelled. They all looked at Brock. "I'm not gonna eat her!" Brock said folding his arms. The group was hungry, really, really hungry. They all went forward heads down until they came into a clearing. There was a large, old house. It looked like it had multiple stories, around three not including the basement. Brock walked up to the doorstep and knocked on the door. "I'm coming!" a youngish female voice called from the inside. Brock gave a wink to the group (that is, if he could open his eyes). The door opened. There appeared a young lady with greenish hair pulled back into a ponytail. The lady was beautiful and Brock was love struck.

"Hi! I'm Kellan," she greeted.

"AND I'm Brock!" Brock instantly greeted back. Kellan giggled.

"Hm, you guys look lost. I won't mind if you stay for the night... or a couple of years," she said.

"Oh, we'll definitely stay for a couple of years!" Brock said. His face was neon pink. Misty wacks Brock behind the head with a mallet.

After the group introduced each other agreed they'd be staying, they were finally let inside. "Whoa, nice place," Ash commented. "This is really old!" Misty gave Ash a nudge.

"Don't worry, Misty," Kellan said, "I have to admit it is old. The floors are a bit creaky so don't put too much pressure on them or else you'll fall through." Pikachu's stomach then growled and everyone remembered they were hungry. Brock and Kellan agreed to cook for them. Togepi and Pikachu decided to check the house out. Misty left for the house's backyard to look at the stream. Ash was all alone with nobody to give him company. He simply went exploring the house. The house had three stories along with a basement. The first story had the family room, dining room, and kitchen. The second story stored the bedrooms. The third was more of a storage and also home for many Pokemon. 'Nice place,' Ash thought. The floor creaked whenever he was on any of the floors. 'The ground's really weak.'



Meanwhile, Kellan and Brock were cooking in the kitchen. Kellan told Brock how most of her life. Brock realized that Kellan is more like Brock himself (other than the fact that Brock is a ladies man). Brock didn't act like he usually does in front of other women. In fact, Brock simply enjoyed the chat. "So, Brock, how's your life like?" Kellan finally asked. Brock started with how he left his father with the kids and how he accompanied Ash and Misty on their Pokemon journey. Kellan seemed interested, Brock can tell. By the time he finished telling her the entire story and how he got to her house, the dinner was finished cooking. "Ash! Misty! Pikachu! Togepi! Dinner's served!" Kellan yelled. Brock was about to do the same.



Ash, Misty, Pikachu, and Togepi came charging in. Ash and Misty both avoided each other as they came through the door. 'Looks like they didn't settle anything,' Brock thought. "Those two, are they boyfriend and...?" Kellan asked Brock. Brock knew what Kellan was about to say but answered with a shrug. "They really act like a married couple," Brock whispered. Kellan giggled and sat down at the table. She noticed Pikachu was looking around the table. "Pika Pika? (Where's the ketchup?)" the mouse asked. Ash slides him a bottle to shut him up. "What's with your obsession with ketchup?" Ash asked. He didn't get any answer from the creature. Meanwhile, Team Rocket was staring at them through the window.



"Oh! That food simply makes me starve!" James said.

"You said it! I want that glass of milk!" Meowth commented while staring at the glass of milk Misty is gulping down her throat.

"Shut up you two! We're here for that Pikachu!" Jessie said as she took out a mallet similar to Misty's and wacked both of them across the head.

"But Jessie! Just smell that food..." James complained.

"Yeah, there's nothing like that smell..." Meowth added.

Jessie wacked both of them again.

"Screw Pikachu! I want the FOOD!" James yelled.

"I want the milk!" Meowth yelled also.

Jessie is really furious this time. She takes one large swing at James and Meowth causing their medical bills to raise by the millions.

"Can't you two idiots think of anything but food? Once we capture Pikachu and get all that money, we can eat all the food we want!"

"But... but... I'm starved!" both James and Meowth cried.

"You miserable morons! You won't see food again until you CAPTURE THAT PIKACHU!!!"

James stares through the window again. "Well, I see food but we didn't capture Pikachu, yet."

Jessie drops in anime style. "That's not what I meant!"



Inside, Ash and the rest of his friends are eating dinner. Ash heard some complaining. "Hey guys, do you hear something?" he asked. Everybody stopped talking and heard Jessie and James complaining. Meowth has passed out on the ground. Misty pulls open the window, "GET OUT OF HERE, TEAM ROCKET!" James kneels on the ground. Misty glares at him. He had the biggest soggy eyes Misty had ever seen. "Please, get me some FOOD!" he begged. Jessie kicked him. Misty turns to Pikachu, "You're on, Pika pal." James thought Pikachu was going to give him food. Instead, he and Team Rocket received 10,000 volts of electricity. "Team Rocket's blasting off again!" they yelled.

Pikachu resumed his meal and everybody followed. They were enjoying it for the most part until Team Rocket started whining. "Ash! If it weren't for you, we would have had an excellent meal!" Misty scolded with rage.

"Me? Team Rocket was here all along! I'm smart enough to know they're there. You're not!"

"I'm not smart? You got us lost on the way back to Viridian City!"

"I lost us? You said to take that short cut!"

"Short cut my ass. You didn't follow my directions!"

"Why should I follow your directions!? Oh, if you say, 'Go that way,' I go that way. If you say, 'Die,' I will kill myself. Is that correct?"

"That's perfectly correct! Why don't you just die right now?"

"Because if I were to be dead, you wouldn't be here enjoying this meal!"

"I would enjoy anything if you were to be dead!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

The arguing goes on and Kellan looks at Brock. "Is this what you go through everyday?" she asks. Brock nodded his head. "It's a pain in the butt," he commented. He looked at Ash and Misty who were still arguing. "Watch this," Brock says to Kellan with a grin. "Hey Ash, why don't you and Misty go into the guest room and make out?" Ash and Misty froze.

"Make out with him/her?" they both said pointing at each other. "You wish!" Their faces were both red and blushing.

"See, Kellan? They both love each other," Brock said.

"DO NOT!" the pair yelled back.

Kellan giggled. "Why don't both of you settle things down in the guest room? Only both of you. Maybe you'll explore some new areas, too!" she joked.

"WHAT?" they both yelled.

"Guest room is on the second floor. Go up the stairs, make a right, go straight and there it is. There's only one bed though!"

"I'm not sleeping on the floor!" they both yelled.

"You don't have to. It's a king sized bed."

"I'm not sleeping with him/her!" they both added.

"Too bad."

"Kellan," started Brock, "notice how much alike they are?"

"Are not!" the two teens yelled back.

"See? They even say the same things at the same time!"

"Do not!" they both yelled. Suddenly and finally, they realized they kept saying the same things. "Shut up, Ash/Misty, don't say what I say!"

"Enough's enough!" Brock said after getting annoyed. "Go to the guest room and settle things down. Pikachu, follow them just in case they start another fight. You'll know what to do. Togepi, follow too to make sure your mom doesn't get hurt."
