I don't own Powerpuff Girls Z or Pokemon.

Monkey Trouble

"How long before we reach Striaton City" Momoko asked.

"It'll be about another day and a half," Iris told her for the fifth time.

"Why don't you use a bike or something to travel between towns?" Kaoru asked Ash.

"Because they're really expensive. Plus if you ride a bike from town to town you won't be able to find new Pokemon or help your own get stronger" Ash told her.

"I have a question for you Ash. Why don't you put Pikachu in his pokeball?" Miyako asked him.

"He just has never liked being in there," Ash said.

"Yeah, Axew is the same way" Iris chipped in.

"So, you're telling me not all Pokemon stay in their pokeballs" Momoko replied.

"Yeah, that's about it" Ash said.

As they all continued to walk they started to tell each other about their families. Ash told them about growing up in Pallet Town with his mother and getting Pikachu from the locale Professor. Iris told them about growing up in the village of the dragons with her grandparents. Momoko told them about her family and her annoying little sister. Kaoru told them about her family, including an older and younger brother and how her father was a professional masked wrestler. Miyako told them about living with her grandmother because her parents were on a world cruise.

After awhile Peach said "I detect a monster from our world. Won. Won."

"What direction is it?" asked Kaoru.

Peach stuck his nose up in the air and started to sniff. He then headed into the woods saying "This way."

When they got to the edge of a clearing they saw what looked like a person wearing a large cloak with pointed shoulders, a very hairy face, pointed green ears, and a dome like hat with purple and white stripes. It looked like he was trying to get some Pokemon to obey him.

"I don't know what you are but you're going to be my army. With the use of such strange creatures I'll be able to take over the world. Mojo" he said.

The Pokemon he was talking to were a small fiery horse, a fox with a very bushy tail, an otter with an inner tube around its neck and two tails, a small brown crocodile, and a large black football with a silver end. They all looked to be extremely scared of the person.

"Figures it would be Mojo Jojo" whispered Momoko to the others.

"Mojo Jojo? Who's that?" Ash asked.

"He's an evil monkey monster from our world. He mainly tries to take over the world or steal as much food as possible" Kaoru replied.

"Well whatever he's up to we have to stop him and save those innocent Pokemon" Miyako said.

"Right" Momoko and Kaoru agreed.

Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru stepped forward and pulled their compacts from their belts. They then opened them and swiped their hands over them saying their alter egos names: Hyper Blossom (Momoko), Rolling Bubbles (Miyako), and Powered Buttercup (Kaoru).

There was a bright flash of light and the girls were in their super hero costumes. All three of them then stepped into the clearing.

"Leave those innocent Pokemon alone" Bubbles yelled.

Mojo turned and saw the girls. "Oh great" he said with a sigh. Then he looked at the Pokemon he had gathered and said, "Go get them my minions. Destroy the Powerpuff Girls Z."

But to Mojo's dismay the Pokemon didn't move. In fact they were to scared to do anything but cower.

Mojo then said out of frustration "Come forth Mojo Robo."

Out of the sky came what appeared to be a square purple body with two arms and two legs, but no head.

When it landed Mojo jumped into it were the head should have been. A clear dome then went over top of him.

"I'll have to destroy you myself. Mojo" he said. "Then I'll punish my minions."

"When have you ever been able to beat us Mojo" Buttercup shot back.

"Yeah and we'll never let you harm those Pokemon" Blossom piped in.

Mojo in the robot then charged at the girls. He tried to have the robot punch and kick them, but the girls were to fast for him. They also had pulled items out of nowhere. Blossom had a yo-yo, Bubbles had a large staff with an open circle on top, and Buttercup had a large hammer.

The girls surrounded the robot and attacked with all of their weapons at once.

Blossom threw her yo-yo at the robot saying "Ice Cream Shoot."

Bubbles swung her staff sending bubbles out of the circle saying "Bubble Champagne." All of the bubbles flew at the robot and exploded on contact.

Buttercup slammed her hammer into the ground saying "Graviton Drive", which sent a line of green energy at the robot.

When all three attacks hit the robot it exploded. Mojo was sent flying into the air and out of sight.

"Where have I seen a villain sent off like that before?" Ash asked no one in particular.

After having defeated Mojo the girls detransformed and headed over to the scared Pokemon to see if they were ok. Ash, Pikachu, Iris, Axew, and Peach joined them. Pikachu and Axew started to talk to the Pokemon while Peach listened.

Ash and the girls took out their Pokedex's to see what the Pokemon were.

Kaoru pointed hers at the small fiery horse. "Ponyta the fire horse Pokemon. As a newborn, it can barely stand. However, through galloping, its legs are made tougher and faster."

Miyako pointed hers at the fox with the bushy tail. "Vulpix the fox Pokemon. It controls balls of fire with its tails. As it grows, its six tails split from their tips to make more tails."

Momoko pointed hers at the otter with two tails. "Buizel the sea weasel Pokemon. It spins its two tails like a screw to propel itself through the water. The tails also slice clinging seaweed."

Ash pointed his at the small brown crocodile. "Sandile the desert croc Pokemon. It moves along below the sand's surface, except for its nose and eyes. A dark membrane shields its eyes from the sun. They live buried in the sands of the desert. The sun-warmed sands prevent their body temperature from dropping."

"Hey Ash what's that one?" Iris said pointing at the large black football that had silver at one end.

Ash then pointed his Pokedex at that one. "Excadrill the subterrene Pokemon. More than 300 feet below the surface, they build maze-like nests. Their activity can be destructive to subway tunnels. It can help in tunnel construction. Its drill has evolved into steel strong enough to bore through iron plates."

Peach turned to them "These Pokemon say that they are greatly thankful to you for saving them. They also asked if they could join us so that they can get stronger. Won. Won."

They all looked at each other. Then back at the Pokemon and said "Ok."

Each one of the Pokemon walked to one of the girls or Ash. Ponyta and Kaoru, Vulpix and Miyako, Buizel and Momoko, and Sandile and Ash.

"Hmm… I guess that means Excadrill wants to come with me," Iris said.

All five of them took out a pokeball for the Pokemon to stay in.

After it was done Ash shoved his hand towards the sky with the pokeball in it and shouted, "I've caught a Sandile!"

The girls looked at him embarrassed.

Momoko asked, "Why did you shout that? We know you got a Sandile."

Ash replied, "I'm sorry, it's a bit of a habit. I've always done that when I get a new Pokemon."

"Never mind that. Where did you get those things you used on Mojo?" Iris asked the girls.

"We've had those ever since we got our powers. We don't know where they go but they always appear when we need them" Kaoru explained.

"Cool" Iris said.

"Let's continue on to Striaton City" Ash said.

They all agreed and headed for Striaton City to continue their journey. As the sun began to set they decided that they would make camp and rest for the night.
