Mashizou: I would just like to make clear one thing now. As you may have noticed some sections of this story resemble pokemon movies and episodes in anime. I would like to give them credit for helping me think up this story. Especially to Pokemon the First Movie and others. (smiles)

(Growlithe digs in backpack)

Mashizou: Hey get out of there! (Pulls on pokemon)

(Growlithe flys out, all of the food eatin')

Mashizou: Not agian... (sweat-drops)

Growlithe: Grow?

"Come on out Quilava, use Ember." Kelsey cammanded quietly releasing her pokemon. It immediatly began to emit a small fire as soon as it appeared. Filling the room with a warm orange glow. "Qui?" It asked noticing Kelsey's hurt arm. "Im fine." She said assuringly to the pokemon as she bent down to pet it. Suddenly something touched her shoulder and she spun around quickly to see none other than Mike. "Mike you scared me!" She said alarmed. "Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you." He said appoligetically. "What happened to your arm?" He asked concerned. "Oh its nothing." She said quickly trying to hide her injury from view however Mke was to fast and grabbed her arm. "What happened?" He asked. Two large holes could be seen mid-way up her arm where fresh blood gushed out. Only now did Kelsey suddenly realize how much blood she had lost. Suddenly everything began to blurr. "Lava?" the pokemon asked. Kelsey attempted to look down at it however before she could so so, her world went black.

"Uhh..."Kelsey said groggily as she sat up and attempted to hold her head. A sudden deep pain in her arm however prohibited her from doing so. When everything began to come into focus she could see Micheal sitting on the other side of what looked like and underground sewage line (Without the sewage), petting Quilava. "What happened?" Kelsey asked clutching her head with her left hand. "You fainted. But i'm not sure if it was because of the blood or the infection." Mike said. "Infection?" "Yeah, something in that bite was somewhat poisonous. You should be fine though." He smiled assuringly. He was leaning agianst the opposite wall as Kelsey. She looked down at her arm, it was bandaged although not very well. Kelsey smirked at Mike, "Nice handy-work." "Hey, im not Chris." He smiled, although Kelsey couldn't help but notice a bit of sadness in his voice. Chris had always been the medical genius in the group. "Where is Chris anyway?" Kelsey asked. Mike looked down at the ground and continued to pet Quilava. "Oh no..." Kelsey said inderstanding. It got him. "What did it do to him?" She asked after a moments silence. "I'm not really sure. They both just disappeared." "What about you? How'd you get down here? Wherever HERE is." "After Chris was captured my 'thing' was distracted so I had a head start on it. I ran into a house that was unlocked and found myself in their basement. There was a trapdoor there, i crawled inside, and ended up here." He explained. "At least you got off easy." Kelsey said angrily. "Not exactly." Mike pointed to his side where his shirt could be clearly seen blood-stained. Now Kelsey noticed his ripped clothes and the scratches on this arms and face. There was even a stream of blood dripping from his forehead. "What happened to you!" Kelsey asked horror-struck that she had not noticed it before. "There was a time when it caught up with me. I had no other way of defending myself." "Thats right, you left your pokemon at the center." Kelsey sighed already sure of what they would have to do. "We have to go get them." "Yeah." Mike agreed as they bagan to plan out the task ahead.

'I hope this works.' Kelsey thought readying herself under the trap door. "Here goes." She wispered and flipped it open pushing herself through. She was back in the shack, the door still bore marks where she had strugled with the pokemon. She ran her fingers over the claw marks before opening the door. It was daytime however the sun shone darkly unto the town. Kelsey cautiously turned down an alleyway, and then another, and other. Alley after alley nothing moved. 'Where are you?' Kelsey asked herself. Finally she came to what she was looking for. Before her stood the power plant to the city. Her job was to shut down the main power. That way Mike would be able to get into the pokemon center. "Come on out Electrike." Kelsey cammanded quietly. The electric pokemon immediatly appeared. "Electrike." it growled. "Shh." kelsey said nervously holding her finger up to her lips. "We have to be quiet. Now use your shock wave to override this electric door." She pointed. The pokemon nodded in understanding and began to glow blue. Electrike then relseased what looked like blue thunder at the door which, in turn, fell backwards into the dark building. "Great, thanks Electrike." Kelsey smiled as the pokemon followed her inside.

"Ok here we go." Mike said unsurely as he rounded another corner. His Feraligator close behind. "Ready?" He asked the pokemon as soon as the center was in sight. "Rallll!" The pokemon growled quietly as they began to make their way towards it. They began to jog and then soon broke out into a run towards the center. "Kelsey and Electrike should have the power shut down soon." Mike said assuringly.

"Which way?" Kelsey asked as she and the pokemon rounded another corner. "Lets try this one." She said as electrike short-circuited the electric door. It fell backwards just as all the others had, and they stepped inside. "Lec lec le tri!" Electrike called out and ran to the otherside of the room where a large screen and computer sat. "Great." Kelsey said. "Now override the center's security system." "Le." The pokemon nodded and walked to a nearby machine. "Now use thundershock!" Kelsey cammanded. The pokemon instantly released the bolt of lightning. Kelsey looked to the screen, two of the red bars disappeared. "That should do it." She said confidently.

"Yes!" Micheal shouted triumphantly as the bars outside the pokemon center were withdrawn. "Now come on Rhydon." He said as he slipped his fingers between the two glass doors and began to pull. "Rhy" The pokemon to slipped it's claws in and pulled. "Zuuu." "Uh oh." Mike said as he turned. Behind him stood Kazoumae. Ready to lunge. "Rhydon we don't have time! US eyour Skull Bash!" Mike cried out frantically as Kazoumae began to growl. Rhydon's horn began to glow as it readied it's self. Then suddenly rammed the glass door shaddering it. At the same time Kazoumae lunged. "Rhydon return!" Mike cammanded as he ran into the center. He stopped at the front desk trying to decide which way to turn. He went to his left towards the hall and ran down it towards the room where he and his friends had stayed. He ran inside and opened the window. Kazoumae wasn't far behind and chased him inside. Narrowly missing Mike as he jumped out the window. "Dangit. Where's Kelsey when you need her." Mike said panicking as he ran around the building back to the front.

"Come on out Rapidash!" Kelsey cammanded as the fire horse appeared. "We need to get to the pokemon center. Mike may need our help." She explained climbing quickly onto the pokemon's back. "Lets go." she said as the pokemon began to run then abruptly stopped. "What is it Rapidash?" Kelsey asked glancing first to the pokemon then ahead. Nothing was there. "Come on girl its alright. We really need to get moving." Kelsey said patting the pokemon. Rapidash reared and backed up a few feet. Suddenly right ahead of them a large Arcanine appeared. It's fur was a deep burnt orange, and it's stripes were red. And the areas where it should be white were a silver-gold. It's cerulean eyes took one glance at Kelsey and her pokemon and then it leaped out of sight behind a building. "What was that about?" Kelsey asked. Then remembering Mike she urged Rapidash onward and they ran.

Micheal panted heavily as he ran into the lab of the pokemon center. He locked the door behind himself and began to look around the room. There were only needles and antibotics which lined the walls. Kazoumae rammed the door demanding entrance. Mike's mind raced as he found another door and hurried inside. It led to the pokemon storage room where shelves and dressors were filled with pokeballs carrying the pokemon of trainers. He ran to the shelves labled: Micheal and Chris. 'First things first.' He thought as he loaded Chris' pokemon into his back pack. THUD Kazoumae rammed the door agian. "Its good to see you guys agian." Mike said as he attached his poke'balls to his belt. THUD. Four more Pokeballs. THUD. Two more. Mike heard a crash as Kazoumae broke through the door, it's eyes flashed angrily. "Come on out Feraligator!" Mike cammanded tossing one of his poke'balls. "Use your Hydro Pump!" The pokemon released a powerful blast of water but Kazoumae dodged and countered with an Ice Beam causing Feraligator to stumble but not faint. "Come on we've got to get out of here." Mike said as he made his way to another door. But it was locked. "Oh crud." He said as he realized there was no way of escaping, not only that but at that very moment Feraligator fell beside him, fainted. And as for Kazoumae, it began to pace. Slowly making it's way closer to Micheal. Suddenly out of no where an Arcanine blasted it's way through the window tackling Kazoumae. Showering Mike in glass.(The window by the way was about five feet up from the floor). He hissed in pain grabbing his right hand, where some glass had found itself, he yanked out the large chunk causing blood to fill the gash. "Mike!" Kelsey called out relieved to see him alive. Both she and Rapidash were outside. "Get out of there!" She screamed as Arcanine released a Flamethrower. He didn't have to think twice as he returned Feraligator and scrambled to the window. "Oww!" He cried out as his hand began to burn. "Grab my hand!" Kelsey cammanded reaching out her good arm and grabbing his left hand. Yanking him out the window. (He along with Kelsey and Rapidash were trying to pull him out. Kelsey didn't do it on her own). Once he was out he fell to the ground and began to examine his hand. It was covered in shards of glass and blood. "Darnit." he hissed. "Come on Mike we don't have time! Did you get the pokemon?" Kelsey asked as Mike began to stand but immediatly fell back down. He hadn't realized it before but there was a great pain in his right leg. He was almost afriad to look down at it but did. In it there stuck a large, no huge piece of glass. Inches in length and width it was a good two inches into his leg. Kelsey gasped. Blood soaked his pant leg. Kelsey hurried off Rapidash and tried to support Micheal as he stood agian. Finally she got him onto the pokemon and they headed off.

Kelsey fiddled with the fire she had made the previous night. Both she and Micheal were in the forest on the outskirts of Sturfenturf. (The pokemon were all in their balls). "What have we got ourselfs into now?" she asked thinking over their current problem. Kazoumae, the Arcanine. Nurse Joy and the other missing people. "Hmm." she sighed leaning agianst a nearby tree. Suddenly she remembered the other adventures she had had. Ones with her other friends. Not just Mike and Chris. Whenever she had been traveling with Jessica, Jennifer, Kathrein, Nathalie, Frank, and Andy. She remembered the day she had gotten her first pokemon, Eevee. How Jessica had been late that day to the lab, how she had teased her. She remembered Jennifer's first contest prep. Or Jennifer's favorite pokemon her Ninetales Mahla. She remembered her idiotic friend Jessica. And her Growlithe which was just as bad, or Jessica's love for battling. And her dream to become the world's greatest pokemon Master. She remembered Kathrein's smarts about pokemon, and her and Jennifer's lectures. "Ugh. Those were the worst!" Kelsey laughed. She remembered catching her Luvdisc. And the time when Eevee evolved into Umbreon. It was just as the sun was setting. It happened at the same time as Nathalie's Eevee evolved into Espeon. Kathrein had always wondered how that could have happened but finally decided that it was at dusk which wasn't exactly day or night. Meaning anything could have happened. Kelsey remembered when Mike and Frank had to leave the group and then meeting back up with them again. She remembered meeting Chris, Nathalie, and Andy on her adventures. Or the time when Jennifer had to leave behind her precious Pigeot Skarr. Suddenly Kelsey bacame saddened as she remembered having to leave her friends to travel with Mike and Chris. She remembered when Jennifer left and Kathrein decided to stay and help out at the Professor Tiouchi's lab. Or whenever Jessica, Nathalie, and Andy set out on their own. Kelsey now wondered how they were all getting along. If they still remembered her. She fought back tears as she thought about her friendship with them all. Wondering if she would ever get the chance to see them again. "Maybe someday." she sighed. She couldn't say she hadn't thought about getting back together with them all. But she knew that they were all spread apart and it would be difficult to find them. She didn't even know where Frank, Jessica, Nathalie, and Andy were. Jessica said she and the other two were going to head to Johto and battle for badges. But Johto was a big area and Kelsey knew she would have little chance in finding them. "Oh well..." she sighed agian and looked up into the clouds. "Oh well what?" Someone asked. Kelsey turned around. Nearby Mike had woken up and sat up staring at her. "Nothing." she said shrugging. "What were you thinking about?" He asked again. Kelsey sighed, "Just about Jess and the others. Think we'll ever see them agian?" "I'm sure we will. Besides we know where to find Jessica." He smiled. "We do?" "Sure. She wouldn't miss the Johto League for the world." He laughed. So did Kelsey, "Yeah I guess your right." she agreed. "I miss her though. That Arcanine really reminds me of hers." Kelsey said remembering Jessica'a first pokemon, her Growlithe. "Yeah. Remember when it evolved?" Mike laughed. "Yup." Kelsey nodded. "I can't believe it SAT on the fire stone!" Both Kelsey and Micheal roared with laughter. "At least Mahla purposelsy tried to evolve." kelsey said, her smile widening. "Yeah." Micheal agreed. Suddenly everything became quiet. "So what are we going to do about Kazoumae?" Kelsey asked. "Truthfully I don't really know. It took out my Feraligator in two hits. I'm not sure if we can beat it alone." Mike said. "We could really use the other's help right now couldn't we?" Kelsey sighed although it was more of a statement than a question.

Mashizou: If anyone has any questions on the other characters I have mentioned in this chapter and would like to learn more about them they are featured in another story I am about to post. It starts out alot like the real series with one person being late to get their pokemon :). And then of course their adventures start out with Jennifer, Kathrein, Kelsey, and Jessica traveling together. Then Jennifer, Kathrein, Kelsey, Jessica, Mike, and Frank.Then it goes back to Jennifer, Kathrein, Kelsey, and Jessica. Then Nathalie and Andy are introduced. Well, maybe you should just find out for yourself. This story is meant to take place after my other one. Also I am hoping to post more stories like this one exept based on what my other characters are doing. Please R&R, even if you hate this story. I would really appreciate it. It would help me know what I need to change. By the way the other stories are not as violent as this one, the only reason this one is, is because one of my friends in real life (the one who's personality I gave to Kelsey), was hoping it to be. Thanks!

Growlithe: Grow lith grow growlithe. (I have a question.)
