Thanks for the reviews guys! And for those idiots that read Poke'mon and then badmouth it, then get out of my story now! Sorry, this guy or few said how Poke'mon sucks, then what's the point of looking at my story then if they don't like it. Anyway, thanks for reviewing and for telling me Richie's Poke'mon. Those that told me he had a Charmeleon, I just want to thank you for reminding me that his Charmander evolved. And I guess he kept Happy in Johto you all keep saying he still had his Butterfree. And I don't remember his Pupitar's nickname exact. It's either Croon, Coon, or Cruz. Or something like that.
PinkPassionFruit-Thanks, I glad you liked how I did that with Ash and Misty. Keep reading please!
dbzgtfan2004-Thanks for the Poke'mon, and reviewing of course.
PokeLoverRita64-Thanks for the Poke'mon. But I doubt the Taillow though since Taillow is in Hoen. But it's still good info so thanks again!
Daydreamer ()-Thanks for the review…err reviews. And its okay, I got most of his Poke'mon. That's true, now that I think about it; he doesn't have very big Poke'mon.
Katie ()-Thanks for reviewing and technically, Richie does have strong Poke'mon, he just has small ones. Thanks for the compliment too, keep reading please and reviewing of course.
And another person but didn't give me a name so, I just want to say thanks for giving me his Poke'mon!
Soft Flame Matthias-Yeah, he does have Butterfree, I just didn't remember if he has it with him in Johto. Thanks for reviewing. On your story; well to be honest, since I don't often read fan fictions, I write them so it's been awhile since I've read and reviewed, sorry if my review sounded a bit like 'bleh'. I think it did leave an impression on me. I mean, I like stories with cliffhangers, well, sometimes I do, you kept me reading yours because I wanted to see what will happen next and how it will turn out for Ash and Misty. I like how it wasn't a tragedy and it was a happy ending. I've read some tragedies and don't really like them. But that twist you pulled in the end of how Ash survived was pretty creative I must say!
The next day, they set out. While traveling, Reena is getting used to her new friends. Slowly, but she's trusting them more. Well...getting used to Brock is slower than getting used to Ash and Misty. Okay, technically, she's almost a full friend to Reena. So the order of whose she's closest to: Richie, Misty, Ash, and then Brock.
"Okay, we're lost," said Brock,
"WHAT?"
Misty fell to her knees,
"I can't believe your shortcuts got us lost again!" she said.
"So, this happens a lot?" Reena asked,
"Guess so," said Richie.
"What is it with boys not wanting to ask for directions?" Misty asked,
"What? What is that suppose to mean?" Ash asked.
"It means, boys have a problem of not asking for directions and taking shortcuts gets us lost!" said Misty now standing,
"Oh are you saying this is my fault?" Ash asked as the two glared at each other.
"No, I'm just saying that-"
"How long will this one last?" Reena asked,
"Who knows," said Brock,
"Why don't we stop for a lunch break?" Richie suggested.
"At least someone's got brains here," said Misty,
"I have brains too you know?" said Ash.
"Pika…"
"Chu…"
"Vulpix…" their Poke'mon were getting tired of their arguing (oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Vulpix stays out of her Poke' ball too).
"Togi! Togi!"
Once again, Brock's cooking is the best. And Reena finishes first since she's still not talking much. She went to play with the Poke'mon.
"Slow down, Ash," said Misty after Ash started chowing down faster.
"I want (swallow) a rematch with her (eat),"
"Ash, I agree, you can choke on your food," Richie warned and sure enough, he started coughing.
But, he's okay.
"Told you!" said Misty,
"Okay, I get it! I'll slow down!" said Ash.
"You have plenty of time for a rematch with her, Ash," said Brock.
"True," said Ash.
"Actually, I was going to have a rematch with Reena, we haven't battled for while," said Richie.
"Well, Ash hasn't had a battle with me or Misty in a while either," said Brock.
"Hey, how about a small tournament?" Ash suggested.
"But, if we stop for battles then we won't reach the next town before night falls," said Misty,
"We'll camp out," said Ash,
"Fine with me, and I'm sure Reena will agree," said Riche as he finished up too and went to ask Reena.
"Sure," said Reena and he smiled.
"Pika!" Sparky wanted Reena to pet him.
"Free! Free!" Happy landed on Richie's arm,
"Pika Pi!" Pikachu went over too,
"Wow, those two get along with Poke'mon so well," said Brock as he watched.
"Yeah, it's like they were meant to meet," said Misty.
"Hey! I get along with Poke'mon too!" said Ash as he finished up his food.
"Okay, let's start this mini tournament!" said Ash excitedly,
"Hey, wait, shouldn't there be rules?" Brock asked,
"How about best of 3?" Ash suggested.
"Sure," said Misty,
"Okay," said Brock.
"Richie! Reena! Want to battle now?" Ash called to them,
"Sure Ash," said Reena,
"Okay!" said Richie.
"We'll draw numbers and see who's going to face who," said Brock.
First up was Reena vs. Brock.
"Onix!"
"MaPsychic!"
And they battled it out.
"Richie? Richie?"
"Huh? Sorry, what is it, Misty?"
"You looked like you were staring out in space even though you were looking straight at the battle. You okay?" Misty asked,
"Yeah, I'm fine! I was just thinking that's all," said Richie with a smile.
"Come on, Brock! You can beat her!" Ash was shouting.
"Hey, what about Reena?" Misty asked,
"You can cheer for her while I cheer for Brock," said Ash.
"Oh Ash! Can't you think about everyone instead of just one?"
Richie just sighed.
The battle ended leaving Reena the winner.
Next was Ash against Misty.
"I choose Pikachu!"
"And I choose…Togepi!"
Everyone just started in shock,
"TOGEPI?" they all went.
"Pika, pi," Pikachu doesn't know what to do.
"Not that trick again!" said Ash.
"Clever," said Reena.
So, Pikachu ended up losing since he can't fight back on baby Poke'mon.
"I choose Bayleef!"
"Oh yeah? Then I choose-"
Psyduck popped out,
"Psy yai yai! Duck?"
"Psyduck! I didn't call you!"
"What happened?" Reena and Richie asked,
"Psyduck has the tendency to pop out by itself," explained Brock.
So, after Ash defeated Psyduck, and Misty's next Poke'mon, he won.
Reena vs. Richie.
"Okay, go Happy!"
"Go Wartortle!"
"Go water gun!" Reena ordered.
"Dodge and use Sleep powder!"
"Free! Free!" it poured sleep powder knocking Wartortle out to dream land.
"What the?"
"Ha, sorry, but I couldn't resist not to use that," said Richie.
"Lucky…" and called back Wartortle,
"That went pretty fast," said Misty.
"That's what he used on me in the Poke'mon League!" said Ash.
"Okay, Lava I choose you!"
"Quil!"
"Go Zippo!"
"Meleon!" Charmeleon roared.
It was a good battle, but Richie turned out to be the victor by a hair this time.
While these battles were happening…
"I wonder who those new twerps are," Meowth wondered.
"That one with the other Pikachu looks pretty strong," said James,
"Hey! Isn't that the same twerp that ruined out plans back at the Indigo Plato(sp)?" asked Jessie,
"I knew that Pikachu looked familiar!" said Meowth.
"Then who's the new one? The one with the Vulpix?" James asked.
"Well, let's just wait until they finish this, then their Poke'mon will be too exhausted to fight and we'll steal Pikachu!" said Jessie and they agreed.
Ash vs. Richie and it's the final round. Pikachu vs. Sparky.
"You may have beaten me at the Poke'mon League but I've gotten stronger since!" said Ash,
"So have I!" said Richie.
"Pikachu!"
"Sparky!"
"Attack!"
It was a good battle, and Ash won this time.
"Okay! Now that I beat you, I want a rematch with Reena!" said Ash excitedly.
"Aren't your Poke'mon a bit exhausted?" Brock asked,
"Okay, I'll wait," said Ash and he sat down with his friends.
"Wow, you sure got determination, Ash," said Reena,
"I think that's what kept him going," said Misty.
"That, or his ego," said Brock.
"I think you're doing a good job, Ash," said Richie,
"Thanks, Richie!"
Then there was smoke covering the place.
"What's going on?" Reena asked. Richie pulled her close to him to protect her. Ash did the same with Misty but he wasn't exactly thinking about what he's doing.
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"Oh no…" said Ash,
"To protect the world from devastation,"
"To unite all people within our nation,"
"Don't tell me," said Brock.
"Okay, I won't," said Misty.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love,"
"To extend our reach to the stars above,"
And as he smoke started clearing,
"Hey, these guys look familiar," said Richie,
"Oh, I know, it's not that hard to forget them even if you tried," said Ash with a sweat drop.
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Richie, just who are they?" Reena asked.
Team Rocket did an anime fall,
"How could you not know who we are?" Jessie exclaimed,
"Yeah! We're the famous Team Rocket!" said James.
"I remember you thugs form the Poke'mon League!" said Richie.
"Yeah, I heard of Team Rocket, but I didn't expect them to be this embarrassing," said Reena.
"WHAT?"
"Hey, finish the intro!" said Meowth from somewhere.
"Oh yeah, Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight! Fight! Fight!"
"Meowth! That's right!"
"That Meowth can talk!" Reena exclaimed and tried to move back a little but realized Richie was holding her so she just got closer to him.
"Ash…do you mind?" Misty asked,
"Huh? Oh! Sorry!" and he lets go.
"Don't worry, Reena, that Meowth is harmless," said Misty,
"All you got to do is hit him with a thunderbolt and he goes flying," said Ask with a smile.
"These guys aren't a threat," said Brock,
"I'm not sure…" said Richie.
"That's right! Too late to say we're not a threat!" said James and they launched a net and caught all the Poke'mon. Okay, a net or two or three. Team Rocket took off in their balloon. And of course kept the two Pikachu in a special container.
"Hey! That's my Poke'mon!" Reena shouted.
"Too bad!" and Jessie stuck her tongue out at her.
"Pika Pi!"
"Pikachu! Chu!"
The Pikachu couldn't break out of the container.
"Oh no! Pikachu!"
"Sparky!"
"Vulpix! Use Fire Spin to break of that net!"
"Vulpix!" and it burned through the net releasing her and other Poke'mon.
Richie is not holding her anymore.
"Now! Flamethrower at that balloon!"
"Go! Arbok! Stop it with your poison sting!"
"Look out!"
"I got it, Jessie!" said Meowth and presses a button on a remote control and a mechanical hand reaches out to grab Vulpix.
"Vul!"
"Hey! Let go of Vulpix now!" and Reena reaches out and grabs the mechanical hand so she's flying away too.
"What's she doing?" said Misty knowing it's dangerous,
"Reena!" the boys called.
"Let go of Vulpix you creeps!"
"That brat won't let go," said James,
"Onix! Stop that balloon! Use Rock throw!"
Onix roared and attacked.
Before he did though, Reena released Vulpix and went onto Reena's head. Reena continued climbing up to get Pikachu and Sparky,
"Hey! Let go! We stole it!" said Jessie as Team Rocket and Reena pulled on the container.
"Yeah, from their owners!" said Reena, and that's when the balloon popped.
He popped the balloon and it ended up flying away instead of falling.
"Oops,"
"Brock!"
"Sorry..."
"At least Reena was able to save the other Poke'mon," said Misty,
"Yeah, but they have Pikachu now," said Ash,
"And Sparky," Richie added.
"Reena…" Richie thought worriedly.
"Ow…"
"That stupid twerp has got the nerve!" said Jessie angrily.
"Aagh! We lost the two Pikachu!" James exclaimed.
"That's great! And we're lost too!" said Meowth.
"Vulpix, Vul,"
"Huh?" Reena started waking up,
"Vulpix?"
"Vul!"
"Oh yeah!" and Reena shot awake, and started looking around,
"Where are Pikachu and Sparky?" she asked.
"Pika!"
"Pikachuuu!"
"Vulpix!" and Vulpix runs off.
"Wait up!" Reena called after and ran to catch up with Vulpix.
"Pikachu! Sparky!" and she helped the two out.
"Okay…I don't have any of my poke'balls and don't know where I am," said Reena,
"Pika…"
"Don't worry, Pikachu, we'll get you back with Ash. Same with you, Sparky," said Reena as she petted their heads.
"(Sigh) It's getting late, we better stay put," said Reena as she looked up at the night sky.
"Noctowl, did you find them?" Ash asked when Noctowl returned and when night fell.
Noctowl shock its head.
"Pikachu…"
"Come on, Ash, we'll find them," said Brock.
"But what if they're hungry? What if they're in danger? What if they're still with Team Rocket?" What if-" Misty walked up to him and slapped him. And while he's stunned from what just happened, she gently places her hand in his, her other resting on his shoulders and talked in a calm and gentle voice.
"Ash, calm down. We'll find Pikachu, don't worry. I promise we will."
"Yeah, I guess…" said Ash and walked to sit down by the fire they set up. His other Poke'mon that are out tried to comfort him,
"Oh Ash…"
Richie was just as upset, his Poke'mon were trying to comfort him too.
"We'll find Sparky, don't worry," said Brock cooking up a meal. Misty sat down too,
"Reena and Vulpix too, don't worry," said Misty,
"It's kind of hard if you don't know what's happening to them right now," said Ash with his head down.
"Like whether they're safe by a fire, or not," said Richie with the same expression on his face.
"Well, we-"
"Misty, I think it's best if we left them alone," said Brock.
I'm going to be gone tomorrow so I won't be able to update until Tuesday or so, okay? Sorry! That's why I made it a bit longer for you guys.
Please R and R.
