The Meowth entered the wooden gates of Magnolia Town and looked around. Wooden houses, flowery gardens, large trees, and occasional Pokemon surrounded it. It walked on the stone path, lost in thought. It came to this town to find something for the Pokemon professor, somebody named Professor Oak.

It wasn't too sure why it was so worried about getting to Magnolia Town. It just overheard a conversation about Professor Oak in Magnolia Town's Pokedex being stolen. It didn't even know what a Pokedex was, but knew where to find it. Something was just telling the Meowth to alert Professor Oak.

The Meowth continued down the path until it looked up a few minutes later. It heard the rustling of a piece of paper and looked to see what it was. It soon found the source of the noise, a curled up paper drifting through the air. Curious, it looked over to see what the paper was.

When it landed, the Meowth prodded it with a paw and it opened up. It glanced at the paper, glad, that it was naturally able to understand written human language, even if unable to act like them as another Meowth, a friend of it's, could. It read the bold letters.

POKEMON CHANNEL

A new TV set of programs for people and Pokemon to enjoy! Now hiring Pokemon!

Just call Professor Oak or go to his house in North Magnolia Town.

The Meowth looked at the bit of paper in awe. The professor was hiring Pokemon to star on a TV show? It always wanted to be an actor and it needed some Poke too. The Meowth smiled in excitement. It wanted nothing more than to have its own show!

The paper even gave directions to the professor's house! The Meowth headed north, thanks to a small sign. It ran faster and faster in a sprint until it reached the large house. After prodding the door and hearing no answer, the Meowth pounced on the doorknob, opening it.

"Meowth?"

The Meowth walked through a hallway to a room. The Meowth found the professor there, wildly pulling papers out of drawers and looking through them. The Meowth jumped back in shock. This Pokedex thing must be really important to Professor Oak.

"Meow?"

He looked up at the tiny Meowth inside his study. A bit surprised, he stood and walked over to the Pokemon.

"Hello, what brings you here? The Pokemon Channel advertisement?"

The Meowth, even though it wanted to be on the Pokemon Channel, shook its head. The professor seemed even more surprised at this.

"Well, then, what is it?"

The Meowth rubbed against his legs, asking him to follow. The professor did just that. The Meowth ran ahead, not waiting for Professor Oak to catch up. The professor ran as fast as he could, having no idea why the Meowth wanted him so badly.

After a minute or so they both came to a stop. The Meowth extended its tiny claws and began to dig a large hole. After a while of that, the Meowth pulled a red object out.

"You…You've found the Pokedex! How…?"

The Meowth didn't respond, it just tossed the Pokedex at the professor.

"How could I ever repay you? Oh, wait, I have an idea!"

The Meowth eagerly listened as the professor smiled.

"You could be in the Pokemon Channel! That would be wonderful! We need more Pokemon for it to be a really great station! Where's your owner?"

The Meowth's ears drooped as it heard the last part. It meowed sadly.

"Oh? You don't have one? That's even better! Now there's nobody to disagree with you!"

The Meowth's ears sprang up as it tackled Professor Oak and began to lick his face. Professor Oak, quietly laughing, hugged the Meowth and took it back to his house, where he dropped the Meowth to the floor. The Meowth quickly found a chair and sat on it, smiling.

"We'll start with you tomorrow, Meowth. Later on today I'll take you to the Pokemon Channel building where you can start!"

The Meowth continued to smile. Finally, its wish would come true.
