Wahoo! I'm so happy ! I've got an Extendi-Slap™! You make it by folding up a piece of paper like a concertina, bending it until it is soft, and then you fold it in half. You can let go so it unfolds from being in half so it is the folded-up concertina, then you SLAP! Wahoo...ahem. So, here by popular demand...by demand of two people, I bring you...

Back to the Past

Rearrange the following words to make a well-known phrase: Not own Pokémon I do. Yoda I am. Not own Star Wars I do. Shut up I will.

"Wow. The Magnet Train looks awesome," said Brock admiringly.
"Yeah. Shame we can't use it," said Ad.
They were on a handcar, with Ash and Ad on one end and Misty and Brock on the other. They were traveling pitifully slow.
"Hmm," thought Ash. "If the Magnet Train works on electricity, then...Pikachu, go!"
Pikachu woke up and sprung to Ash's side.
"Use Thunderbolt on the train tracks."
Pikachu cocked its head, then followed the order. The tracks became electrified, and shot the cart away at the speed of light.
"Good, PikaUUU!" Ash was electrocuted.
Misty shook her head. "You stupid boy. Let go of the metal bar."

A little later...

"Look! A Sentret and a Furret! I'm gonna catch 'em!"
Ash grabbed the bar, and all the electricity flowed into him. The cart ground to a halt, and the Pokémon looked up.
"Pidgeot, go!"
The bird Pokémon dived out of its PokéBall, and flew over to the grass where the Pokémon were.
"Use Fly!"
The Pokémon flapped into the air. Sentret and Furret looked up as Pidgeot suddenly dive-bombed them. As an instinct, the two Pokémon leaped onto the still cart.
"Pikachu, zap them!" The electric rodent fired a Thundershock, but missed, and zapped the rails. The cart flew along, with Pikachu running along beside it.
"Ah...grab my hand!" shouted Ash to Pikachu. Pikachu jumped onto the cart. Ash returned Pidgeot. "Now you're mine, Sentret and Furret!" he said, standing up. He withdrew two PokéBalls and was about to throw them when...
"Wait! How could you capture such cuties?" Ash paused with his arm pulled back. The two balls fell out of his hand and landed on the tracks. "Aw nuts," said Ash to Ad. What did you do that for?"
"They've got on the cart, so let them stay on untethered," said Ad calmly.
Ash sat down.
"Alright then."
And so the Sentret and Furret played on deck, with Ash, depressed, considering how they could be his.

A while afterwards...

"Hey, what is this thing?" said Sentret. The two Pokémon were out of view of the humans.
"I don't know. Looks comfortable though," said Furret. The large red ball still stood in front of them.
"There's a button there. Perhaps we should press it."
"Good idea," said Sentret.
It used Headbutt. The PokéBall opened, and sucked the two Pokémon in.
"Quite comfortable in here," said Furret. Inside a PokéBall is like a hotel, personally tailored to the Pokémon's needs. As Sentret and Furret are quite similar, their needs are practicaly the same.

Later...

"Good morning everyone!" Ash took some PokéBalls out of his pocket.
"Wonder if there are any new Pokémon to catch. Hey – one of my PokéBalls is missing!" Ash looked around. He saw the small ball, and picked it up.
"Hey, here it is!" He threw it. Out came Sentret and Furret. Surprised, Ash pointed his Pokédex at the PokéBall.
"It is possible for Pokémon to get into a PokéBall of their own accord," offered Dexter helpfully.
"Hmm, just like Psy..."
"Don't remind me," said Misty through gritted teeth.

Finally...

"We've arrived!" said Ad.
Ash earthed the rails (rather painfully) and the handcar stopped. They were in Saffron City. "Does everyone have a flying Pokémon?" asked Brock. The reply was a positive one. "So let's go!"

In Vermilion City a bit later, the gang consulted the map, which had again grown by four inches on each side, again to take on more sea.
"Route 12 is that way, so we'd better hurry! We have to get through Route 11 first."
In Route 11, there was a group of bikers blocking the road.
"What you doing here? We rule this territory."
"We need to get through to Route 12."
"And we say we won't let you."
"You and whose Pokémon?"
"My ones, actually. Koffing, go!"
The balloon Pokémon floated over.
"Misdreavus, go!" cried Ad. Misdreavus flew to Koffing and used Bite. Unfortunately, Misdreavus bit too hard and Koffing was punctured. Gas flew everywhere. The gang was coughing and wheezing so much, they did not notice the biker slipping away.

Once the gas had cleared, Ash saw that the biker had gone. Sighing with relief, he stepped forward.
"Not so fast." A biker rode straight in front of him. Ash reversed to bump into another biker. The gang were surrounded by bikers and Koffings.
"ATTACK!" screamed the bikers. The Koffings charged forwards. "DUCK!" screamed Ash. Everyone obeyed. The Koffings crashed into the bikers opposite them. In the confusion, the gang grabbed a bike each, and got going.
"That reminds me," said Misty. "Ash still owes me a..."
"Just shut up," said Brock, annoyed.
Ad drove over to Ash. "Shut up about what?"
Ash sighed. "It's a loooong story."

And so our heroes ride into Route 12 to find the Trick House for their next adventure.
That was...short. This chapter is just explaining how they get to Kanto, and how Sentret and Furret tag along. FURRETS FOREVER! Sorry if this chapter was rubbish; it was a 'fractured sense' chappie, acting as a bridge between 8 and 10. See you in the next (hopefully better) chapter!
