Chapter 4: Growing Pains

The walk back to the Stargate was almost calm and peaceful. Save for the fact that Carter was as jumpy as a person OD'd on caffeine. Jack and Boyd stayed silent and observant of the forest around them, Teal'c was keeping a close eye on Carter, and Daniel was writing in a little notebook and looking at his PDA with a picture of a stone.

Jack fell back with Carter and said, "So, what's it like being a cat?"

Carter looked at him and said, "A little disturbing. I mean, how am I going look at General Hammond or anyone else in the base again and hear what their thinking as well as what their saying?"

"Well, look at the bright side…" Jack started.

"There's a bright side?" Carter asked.

Jack smiled and said, "Yeah, at least you can tell what the other guy is thinking when you're on a date."

She laughed a little at that and they continued walking to the Stargate, feeling a little lighter then when they left the cave.

An alarm sounded throughout the base as the gate had started its dialing sequence. Airmen armed with machine guns had stationed themselves around the gate and aimed at the center, waiting for whatever it was to come out.

Hammond appeared in the control room and asked, "What's going on?"

Another airman switched on a monitor and said, "A transmission coming in from SG-1, sir."

Hammond switched on a monitor and said, "Report, Colonel."

Jack cleared his throat and said, "Well, General, considering that this planet looks somewhat similar to earth, I can definitely say that we found a Beta Site."

"Colonel, have you found SG-13?" Hammond asked.

Jack looked apprehensive and said, "Yeah, we found SG-13. Actually, I should say 'What's left' of SG-13."

Hammond and everyone else stared as the camera on the MALP had pulled back to reveal two furry looking humanoids standing beside three of the SG-1 team.

"Colonel, what are those things beside you? And where is Major Carter?" Hammond asked.

"Well, the guy with the nine tails is Captain Boyd of SG-13, the gal that looks like a cat is Major Carter. They're both infected with the virus that was on the tape." Jack said.

"Is there a chance that you, Dr. Jackson, and Teal'c are infected as well?" Hammond asked his second in command.

"Thankfully not, sir." Boyd said.

"Yeah, the only way that we'd get it is if we get bit or spit on. We've been very careful about that." Jack said.

"Ok, Colonel. Do you need any help from Dr. Frasier in any way?" Hammond asked.

Jack looked at Boyd and they both said, "No, not really."

"In that case, you know your orders SG-1, get to it. Captain Boyd, at the moment, you are temporally assigned to SG-1 to help with developing an antidote to the virus. Understood?" Hammond asked.

"Yes, sir." The group said.

"Then get to work." Hammond said before shutting down the monitor and ordering the gate shut down.

SG-1 and Boyd had walked to the edge of the forest when they saw a young man being attacked by a young woman with red hair. They looked a little skeptical until they heard the young man say, "Misty, what's gotten into you? Lately you've been nothing but the opposite of yourself."

They saw the young woman, Misty, smile and say, "Well, you could say I changed, and I like what I've become," before they saw her eyes flash. All of them knew what that meant.

"Did you see what I see?" Jack said while pulling out a Zat.

"Yep." Daniel said while pulling out his own.

They rushed forward before Misty pulled out a ribbon device and pointed it at the young man. She was charging it before she saw the five people running at her. She stared at Teal'c in particular and said, "YOU!"

Her hand went up to face Teal'c and Jack fired one shot at Misty. She fell down to the ground unconscious. The young man stared at his former friend before standing up and looking at his rescuers.

"Thank you, whoever you are. I thought I was a goner." The young man said with relief.

The group still pointed their weapons when Jack asked, 'Teal'c?"

"He does not have a symbiote, O'Neil. The young woman does." Teal'c said.

The young man looked confused before he saw the two furry humanoids walk up and stand right beside them.

"You're with Team Rocket, aren't ya? Well, ya aren't getting me like ya got Ash, that's for sure." The young man said.

Jack looked confused before saying, "Kid, these two are our friends. They just got infected by this…whatever it is that's been going around."

"Why should I trust you?" The young man said.

"Are we doing anything that this 'Team Rocket' would do?" Daniel asked.

The young man looked at them for a moment and said, "No, I guess you aren't. Can you help Misty? She's been like this ever since Ash's disappearance near Vermillion City."

"We'll explain what's going on along the way. What's your name?" Jack asked as Teal'c picked up the unconscious young woman.

"My name's Brock." The young man said.

Well, another chapter down. I would have update sooner but I had computer problems. Until next time, Read and Review.

Believe me when I say that I don't own SG-1 or Pokemon.
