Disclaimer: I still do not own pokemon or FF7. If I did, I would be very happy, but no. They belong to Game Freak and Squaresoft. Lucky them. Hey! I found a quarter! ~Smiles~

Last Chapter: Our heroes finally got to land after drifting in the sea and set up camp. Since it was Ash's turn to get firewood, he went out into the forest, where a monster poisoned him. A dark phoenix saved him from the poison, and told him a little about his heritage. Apparently, Ash is the first Jenova/Cetra in2,500 years because the races were at war, nearly wiping each other out. Ash told this to his friends when he returned, and the next morning he noticed something was missing. Yuffie and their Materia!

Note: This is one of very few pokemon/Final Fantasy 7 crossovers. I myself got the idea from stories like 'New Friends' and 'Transformations'. I hope you enjoy my version of it. Also, please REVIEW to my, I really like reviews. They really make my day. Good or bad, makes no difference at all.
~ Do you notice that those bars that say 'hit the target and win', you don't even have to hit the target and you still win? Course there so easy to hit
anyway. Wonder why they do that?

Chapter 24: Yuffie, Materia Thief

The group minus Yuffie was traveling to the city of Wutai, where they were positive that Yuffie went. Ash could not believe that she would steal their Materia. After the months that he had known her, he could understand eating all the food again, or scaring the shit outa someone when she tossed around her shuriken, but he could see no point in taking the Materia.

About 3 hours of walking later, they finally reached the village. Ash couldn't tell if the homes were supposed to resemble ancient Japan or China, but he didn't think to much about it because he saw someone.

"Look guys! It's Yuffie!" Ash shouted, pointing into the crowed of people.

Sure enough, if you looked hard enough, you could see Yuffie, but then she quickly disappeared again. They ran to the place that they had seen her, but she was totally out of sight.

"Damn! We lost her." Barret cursed.

"Don't cha worry. We'll all find her some where around here." Cait Sith said.

They searched around town, seeing the occasional glimpse of Yuffie. They talked to some of the townsfolk, and they suggested that they go and see Godo, who was the leader of Wutai.

Following the townsfolk's suggestion, they went to Godo's house. It was a wonderfully furnished house with old pottery and ancient paintings everywhere. They found Godo himself sleeping on a couch, and Ash went up to him, poking him to wake him up.

"Rise and shine Mr. Godo." Ash said, but he didn't wake up. "He must have never had his morning coffee."

Ash poked Godo again, and finally he stirred and woke up.

"Is there a reason you are poking at me to wake up in my own house?" He asked.

"Sorry, but we were looking for this girl named Yuffie. Have you seen her?" Ash asked.

"What kind of trouble is my daughter getting into now?" Godo said.

"Daughter?"

Suddenly Yuffie jumped into the room. She looked at her father and started yelling on about turning Wutai into a tourist attraction, then ran off again. Everyone followed after her, and soon they were out in the streets again.

They search for a while, then noticed an oddly agar door. They went inside, and saw Yuffie hiding behind a screen door. Ash pulled it back, and Yuffie went running again.

They ended up outside again, and Cloud saw a large pot that was moving kind of funny. Cloud broke it, and out popped Yuffie.

"Your surrounded Yuffie. Give back our Materia." Cloud said, pointing his sword at her.

"Alright! Alright! Geeze! Follow me, I'll take you to them." Yuffie said, motioning them to follow her.

They followed her to a basement in a hidden room that they had not seen before. Yuffie motioned to a handle.

"Pull the left one and it will open the door to the room that I stored the Materia. Happy?"

Being incredibly stupid and idiotically dense, Cloud went and pulled the lever. A net was pulled up from under everyone but Cloud, and they were dangling from the ceiling.

"The Materia is mine! Tough!" Yuffie said and ran out of the room.

Cloud cursed violently and cut the rope, making everyone be in one big dog pile in the middle of the floor.

"Cloud you moron! Even I saw that one coming!" Ash shouted, smacking Cloud in the head for once.

"Oh shut up you two and hide! Someone is coming!" Misty said.

They hid behind some armor that was stored in the room, and the last person they expected to see walked into the room with Shinra troops and a tied up Yuffie and Elena. Ash, in his stupid courage mode, jumped out from his hiding spot along with Shadow.

"Don Corneo! Let them go!" Ash shouted. (Look! I remembered his last name!)

"What the hell? You?! Troops attack!" Don shouted, then fled with Yuffie, Elena, and some other troops.

Ash and Shadow quickly dispatched of the troops, and everyone ran out of the building after Don, but bumped into someone else.

"Reno? Rude? What the hell are you guys doing here!" Ash shouted as he saw wo he bumped into.

"We are here to rescue one of our fellow Turks, who was kidnapped by probably the next worse person to Sephiroth for a girl." Rude said. "What are you doing here?"

"Yuffie stole our Materia, but now she's been kidnapped by Don. Do you know where he's going?" Ash said.

Reno pointed his nightstick at some mountains with people carved into them.

"Up there."

"Alright, thanks." Ash said, and they began to head in that direction, only to be stopped.

"We are going too. Like I said, a fellow Turk has been kidnapped." Rude said.

Everyone looked at the two Turks funny, but agreed never the less. They ran to the mountain and began to run up the well-worn trails. After back tracking because of a few dead ends, they reached their destination. Don was walking back and forth, looking at the two girls who were pinned to one of the Da-chao's faces.

"Leave them alone!" Ash shouted.

"Again? You never quite to you? Rapps! Kill them!"

A giant flying sea dragon-like creature flew in front of them. It beat it's wings harshly at them, sending and Aero 3 at them. Rocks and other debris flew at them, cutting into their skin. Brock began to glow the now familiar red, and shouted "Mountain's Cry!" He dug his Kaiser knuckles into the ground and it opened up beneath Rapps, then moved up and swallowed Rapps in it's depths.

"Remind me never to get you mad." Ash told his friend.

Brock nervously laughed and scratched the back of his neck. Then Reno of the Turks went up to Don. He looked down disgusted at Don and then kicked him down the ledge of the Da-chao Mountains, never to be heard from again.

Ash cut the bonds that held Yuffie and Elena. While Elena ran over to Reno and Rude, Yuffie just stood were she was. She took out a leather bag filled with what looked like marbles, and threw it at Cloud's feet.

"I'm sorry everyone that I took your Materia, can you forgive me?" Yuffie said, probably more sincere than she ever had been in her entire life.

The group huddled together for a moment, and then when they parted, Ash smiled and said.

"We forgive you Yuffie, but don't do that again, ok? We like our Materia right where it is, with us."

"What? Do you mean I can still come with you? After doing that?" Yuffie asked, but could not hide the hope in her voice.

"Yeah! Of course you can! Anyway, you are the only one who will touch the food when it's Cloud and Ash's turn to cook, and what would we do with the leftovers?" Tifa joked to the ninja.

"Really?!" Yuffie shouted excitedly.

"Yep" Cait Sith said.

Yuffie squealed with joy and pulled everyone into a bear hug.

"This is getting to weird for me. Let's go." Reno said. And they began to leave.

"And remember, the next time we meet, it will probably be on opposite sides." Rude said.

"Bye!" Elena said, waving good-bye as the disappeared down the mountain.

"So, were do we go now?" Ash asked.

~To the temple of the Ancients, but you need to get the key to enter. It belongs to a man named Dio who owns the gold saucer. ~

"Alright than, to the Gold Saucer it is"
