Chapter 28: Busted

After Misty destroyed her own bike and left it where she originally found it that day four years ago, we find our heroes in the place where they are most likely found: Lost in a forest.

"No more bugs. No more bugs. No more bugs."

"Misty sure is nervous." Aaron pointed out.

"Yeah. This is about the place where I caught my Caterpie."

"Oh. So there are a lot of bugs?" Andy asked.

"Yeah."

"AAAGGGGHHHHH!"

"Misty what is it?" Ash asked as his girlfriend literally jumped into his arms.

Everybody looked and saw a Weedle.

"I thought she was getting better." Brock sighed.

"It just startled me."

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaa. Hello there. Are you six trainers?" A guy in a Samurai outfit popped out of nowhere.

"Yes." Andy answered. "And you are?"

"I am Samurai. I live in the Viridian Forest and battle trainers."

"Either he doesn't see us or he doesn't recognize us." Ash whispered to Misty.

"Which one of you screamed?"

"She did." Marie, Andy, Aaron, and Brock pointed at Misty.

"I advise you, fair maiden, that you should refrain from shrieking unless your goal is to attract a horde of Beedrill."

"I know that. You told me the last time we were lost in this forest."

"We have met before?"

"Yeah." Ash spoke up.

"You two do look familiar."

"Well it has been four years." Misty mumbled.

"You want to battle me?" Samurai asked. "Maybe a battle can refresh my memory."

"Ok. You owe me one anyways."

"Just no Metapod vs. Metapod this time." Misty told them.

"Pikachu." (You said it.)

"Oh yes. Now I remember. It has been a while Ash and Misty."

"That it has. Are we going to battle or not?" Ash asked with mock impatience.

"Right. I do believe we promised a spectacular battle the last time we met. And I do have a few pokemon I recently caught that I would like to try out."

"Same here. Let's battle."

"He's not." Aaron gasped.

"BUTTERFREE! GO!"

"EEVEE! I CHOOSE YOU!"

Aaron sighed.

"I see your Metapod evolved." Ash stated before Eevee used Sand-Attack and then tackled Butterfree .

"Yes. That is a strong Eevee you have. How long have you had it?" Samurai complemented Ash after Butterfree fainted.

"A few months now. However, I've had this one in less time." Ash answered as he pulled out a pokeball.

"Same here." Samurai said as he did the same.

"WEEDLE GO!"

"He's not." Aaron gasped again

"DRATINI! I CHOOSE YOU!"

"DRATINI?"

"He did."

"Astounding. How did you ever capture such a rare pokemon?"

"Birthday present from my uncle. Let's battle."

"Right. Weedle use Poison-Sting."

"Dratini! Dodge and use Wrap!"

0000

After Dratini beat the bug, Samurai left to heal his Pokemon and the six trainers went North to Pewter.

"When…how…who…?" Misty stuttered still in shock.

"Aaron and I ran into our uncle a while ago and he gave us our presents which happened to be Dratini's."

"Us? Our? Does this mean you have one too?" Marie glared at her boyfriend.

"Hehehe. Yeah." Aaron said as he scratched the back of his head.

"And this uncle would be…" Brock asked.

The twins mumbled something incoherently.

"What was that?" Andy asked

"Lance." They whispered.

"LANCE!"

"SHHHH"

"Do you want the Beedrill to come?" Ash asked.

"Lance? Of the Elite Four? Why didn't you two say anything?"

"We didn't feel it was important." They did the unison thing.

"Here it is guys. My hometown." Brock announced.

Our heroes stopped their talking and looked at the grey city of Pewter.

TBC.

"Hello! Dad? Guys?"

"Brock's home!" a kid yelled from upstairs.

Before any of them knew it, they were being crowded by nine kids.
