A/N: Well here's the next installment of the overhaul...

Also, this concerns Poke Piece... remember how I saw I said a long time ago that Luffy, Zoro and Nami would not be getting Pokemon from the later generations... I changed my mind... throw out your old suggestions and being in new ones. I thought long and hard about this... and in the end I decided this would break my writer's block for this story... (I hope) and instead to give Luffy, Nami and Zoro each a starter from the first generation I plan to give them two from the later generation (yes... one of Luffy's is what you think it is).

Anyways remember, suggest a story that hasn't been updated or on the list to be updated... Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 8: The Village Hidden in the Pokemon

The group of Pokemon Trainers and Pirates were lost… though Luffy, Ash and Zoro claimed that they merely "Didn't know where they were…" however the girls of group said that that's the definition of "Lost".

"Boys are so stupid…" said Misty as they sat down near a small pond.

"So true…" said Nami nodding in agreement.

"Hey!" yelled Ash, Luffy and Zoro.

Just then an Oddish showed up… it began to drink from the pond.

"What's that?" asked Ash.

Luffy took out his trusty Pokedex.

"Oddish the Weed Pokemon, At night it wanders around sowing it's seeds." Said the Pokedex.

"I'm going to catch it!" said Ash.

"Let me!" said Luffy.

"Why?" asked Ash.

"I haven't caught anything else yet… all I have it Pikachu!" said Luffy.

"He has a point…" said Brock.

"Okay…" said a defeated Ash.

"All right!" said Luffy, "Pikachu!"

Luffy's Pikachu nodded and jumped into the center of thing.

"Use… um…" said Luffy, "What were Pikachu's attacks again?"

"Had you not been from this world I would have hit you…" said Misty with her eye twitching.

"Try Thundershock." said Brock.

"Oh, right! Thundershock!" yelled Luffy.

The white lighting hit the Oddish which was sent flying.

"Now use…" said Luffy trying to think of the attack.

"Quick Attack…" said Brock.

"Right! Quick Attack…" said Luffy.

Luffy's Pikachu did so… Luffy knew it was a good time to use the Pokeball… that is until a Bulbasaur showed up and blocked It using Vine Whip.

"Oh man…" muttered Luffy.

"You are aware that all this catching Pokemon is just a cover… right?" asked Zoro.

"I know… but this doesn't mean I can't have fun, right?" asked Luffy.

Zoro sweat dropped at the response.

Ash decided that he should to catch the Bulbasaur… but he failed too and both Bulbasaur and Oddish escaped.

And so both of them were slightly depressed as they walked towards their destination… they hoped.

"Do you even know where you are going?" asked Misty.

"Sure I do…" said Ash.

"Then where?" asked Nami.

"Across the bridge." said Ash.

There was an awkward silence… it got even awkward when the ropes on the bridge began to break.

"Uh-oh…" said Luffy.

That's when the bridge began to break apart. Everyone held on for dear life…

"Everyone grab on!" yelled Luffy.

Ash did so while everyone had a dilemma, fall into the river below to have hang to Luffy while he does some sort of unpleasant crash landing… they decided to do the crash landing as they would probably survive in the end.

But before Brock could grab onto the rubber man. He fell into the river.

"Brock!" yelled Nami.

"Is everyone on?" asked Luffy.

Everyone had else had managed to grab on… "Gum Gum Rocket!" shouted Luffy.

All of them were launched into nearby trees.

"Come on, we have to get down." said Ash.

And so they began to search the river for Brock… when they were suddenly pulled into a pit fall.

"Okay… what just happened?" asked Nami.

"Some sort of trap?" asked Misty.

"Let's just get out." said Nami.

All of them got out of the trap… only for not too long later to be trapped within another trap… this time a net hanging from a tree.

"Zoro if you could." said Ash.

"Uh…" said Luffy.

Everyone sweat dropped at they saw… somehow… Zoro's swords fell off in the process.

"No one say anything." muttered Zoro.

"Can't you use Scyther?" asked Misty.

That's when they noticed two Poke balls… more than likely Zoro's laying next to the swords.

Zoro glared harshly at everyone else in the net, indicating that should they say anything they would more than likely die.

And so they were stuck in the net.

"Do you think Brock is all right?" asked Misty.

"I hope so… he's the one carrying the maps." sighed Nami.

Everyone sweat dropped at this remark.

That's when Bulbasaur showed up.

"It's that Bulbasaur again." said Ash.

"Hey can you get us out of here?" asked Luffy.

The Bulbasaur just gave the group a dirty look and walked off.

After about an hour or so, still trapped in the net (and Zoro falling asleep)

"Brock was probably swept away in the currents, drifting endlessly…" said Ash, "I'm sure that he ended at a waterfall in a valley, marked with two giant statures… where a battle between two friends to the death is taking place…"

"Ash… please stop reading that comic about the ninja." said Misty with a sweat drop.

"Yo!" came a voice beneath them.

They saw that Brock was stand there, healthy and safe.

"Where have been?" asked Nami.

"Well… you see." said Brock.

Brock began the story of how a pretty girl named Melanie saved him from the river. She apparently had a village that took care of sick and injruied Pokemon which explained all of the traps.

"Okay… so you flirted with her… can you get us out of this net." said Misty.

"Wait…" said Brock who looked down to see that Zoro's swords and Poke balls some how fell out of the net, "How long have you been there."

"About an hour." answered Luffy.

Brock sweat dropped…

"You're not happy with me, are you?" asked Brock.

"What do you think?" asked Misty.

And so Brock untied the net let them all down.

"Ow… what happened…" muttered Zoro as he woke up, then noticed Brock, "Oh… so you're alive."

Everyone sweat dropped at this remark.

And so Brock decided to lead them to the Village where Melanie took care of the Pokemon.

"So We're not allowed to cat any Pokemon?" asked Ash.

"That's right." said Brock.

Ash sighed… they arrived to see Melanie who was rather cute with blue hair wearing a pink shirt and red overalls.

"So you must be Brock's friends." said Melanie.

"That's right." said Ash.

"It's nice to meet you." said Melanie.

They all noticed the Pokemon. Luffy noticed the Oddish he tried to catch.

"Oh… hi there." said Luffy bending down.

The Oddish looked scared then Luffy laughed and said "Sorry about trying to catch you earlier." said Luffy.

The Oddish blink that's when a Vine Whip hit Luffy on the head.

"Ow!" he yelled.

That's when he saw the Bulbasaur form earlier glaring at him.

"So I take it that Bulbasaur is one of the Pokemon healing here?" asked Misty.

"No… Bulbasaur is our protector, he guards all of the Pokemon." said Melanie.

That's when all of them sweat dropped at Luffy being held back by Zoro… apparently Luffy wanted to get into a fight.

"Pika…" sighed Luffy's Pikachu.

After getting Luffy to calm down things were fine again… although Bulbasaur was glaring at Ash and Luffy.

"Oh, you ant a fight?" asked Luffy.

Nami took out her staff and hit Luffy… hard.

"Ow… what was that for?" asked Luffy.

"You can't into a fight with a Pokemon!" yelled Nami, "You got it?"

"Yeah…" said Luffy with fear in his voice.

"So is that normal?" asked Melanie with a sweat drop.

"You get used to it." sighed Misty.

That's when a big shadow appeared… they saw a giant floating stadium was above them.

"Okay… what's that?" asked Luffy.

That's when Team Rocket showed up…

"Prepare for Trouble!"

"Make it Double!"

"To protect the world from deviation…"

"To untie all people in everyone nation."

"To denounce the evils of truth and love."

"To extend our reach to the Stars above."

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket! Blasting off at the Speed of Light!"

"Surrender Now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! That's right!"

Everyone stared at the giant stadium…

"Okay… where did you get that?" asked Zoro.

"Um… we found it." said Meowth.

"You found a Stadium… wouldn't that be stealing?" asked Misty.

"How would you even steal a stadium?" asked Luffy trying to think.

"Enough of this!" yelled Jessie, "Do you know how much trouble we got into getting here… do you know how many traps we fell into."

"20?" asked Luffy with a grin.

"…" said James and Meowth.

"It doesn't matter how many we tripped! The only way was though the sky!" yelled Jessie.

That's when a wall opened on the stadium and the hose began to suck.

"Let's get everyone into the cabin!" cried Melanie.

However that's when the Oddish was being sucked in… Luffy reached in and saved that Oddish… causing Melanie to faint in the process.

"Luffy when this is over I'm going to hit you!" yelled Nami.

Luffy only laughed at this

"This isn't funny, you have to be careful!" yelled Nami glaring at Luffy.

That's' when Bulbasaur began to vine whip to bat around the hose.

"I have an idea!" yelled Ash who sent out Pidgeotto, "Use Whirlwind!"

Pidgeotto used whirlwind, which not only knocked away the hose but made the stadium fly away.

"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!"

And so… sometime later Melanie woke up.

"What happened… I thought I saw Luffy stretch out his arm to save Oddish." said Melanie.

"I think you were hallucinating from the lack of air." said Misty.

Melanie blinked… she wasn't quite sure what it meant but shrugged… then she noticed Luffy was beaten up.

"What happened to him?" asked Melanie.

"Um… a tree fell on him." said Ash trying to think of an excuse for Luffy looking so beaten up.

"Oh my…" said Melanie.

"Ash isn't allowed make up excuses again." said Misty with a big sweat drop.

Zoro, Brock and Nami nodded in agreement.

"Um…. Ash… I know you're the one who saved everyone." said Melanie.

"You do. How?" asked Ash.

"Just a feeling." said Melanie, "Anyways, I would like you to take Bulbasaur."

"Wait are you sure?" asked Ash.

"Yes you see with Bulbasaur protecting this village the Pokemon never want to leave and I want to release them back into the wild one day." said Melanie.

"Oh… then sure." said Ash.

"How does that sound Bulbasaur?" asked Melanie.

Bulbasaur nodded then tackled Ash for some reason.

"What was that for!" yelled Ash.

"IU think it means Bulbasaur wants to battle you." said Melanie.

"That's fine by me!" said Ash.

Bulbasaur and Ash began to battle with Ash unsung his Pikachu. Since this writer is no good with battle scenes and it's unnaturally hot where she lives (90 degrees here in San Francisco! It's not supposed to be this hot! Especially in April) Ash was the winner and managed to catch Bulbasaur.

All right!" yelled Ash, "I caught Bulbasaur!"

"All right Ash!" cheered Luffy.

That's when Oddish began to rub up against Luffy and began to cry.

"What's wrong?" asked Luffy.

"I think Oddish want to join you Luffy." said Melanie.

"Really?" asked Luffy.

Oddish nodded…

"Do you want to fight?" asked Luffy.

Oddish shook it's head no…

"I have a feeling you already battled it and won." said Melanie.

Luffy laughed as he took out a Pokeball and caught Oddish.

When it was time to leave, Brock said his good byes to Melanie,

"Well it's time to say good bye." said Brock.

Then he noticed the stare he got from Misty.

"What is it?" asked Brock.

"So your gym leader my sisters told me about… I should known…" muttered Misty.

Brock could only sweat drop.

And so they left the village, with Ash catching Bulbasaur and Luffy catching Oddish everything was okay… although the next day, Bulbasaur did try to start a fight with Luffy for some reason…

Next Time: The rag tag group meets a Charmander who says that it's waiting for it's trainer who left it there. But when they find out the trainer abandoned it, what will happen? Especially when Luffy and Zoro get thought with him... Find out next time!
