A/N

I've decided to change the order of the starter Pokémon's appearances, but don't worry they all will be making an appearance.

Ash and his friends marched proudly towards the town, finally they were returning to civilisation after being in that forest for so long. That joy couldn't last for very long though. Since as they were walking Ash's foot crashed through the ground.

"What the?" he pulled trying to dislodge it as his companions approached.

"Hey Ash, hurry UP!" Misty cried screaming as they all fell down into a deep pit; fortunately they landed on something soft. Or at least Misty did.

"Misty please get off me" Ash yelled trying to be heard despite his face being buried in the dirt. She quickly leapt up so that she was instead on the little piece of ground available.

"Now Ash can you get off me" Brock who had taken the brunt of the fall due to be the cushion of the person used as a cushion whined feeling bruises already forming as Ash too made his way off of him.

After a few minutes they were finally all standing, only problem is that even Brock was only half the size of the hole. "How do we get out?" Misty grabbed a chunk of wall only for it to break instantly.

"Hn, it's not going to be easy, maybe if we could get some rope to the top we could use that" Brock said putting his pack down and searching through it.

"Guys I think you forgetting something" Ash said holding up a poke ball "Fearow I chose you" the Pokémon emerged gently flapping its wings a short distance above them. "Can you get us out?"

"Row"it instantly began first grabbing Misty gently between its legs and helping her out, then returning and grabbing Ash before dropping him. "Fearow" the large bird than settled down as to take a nap.

"Nice work buddy" Ash said him and Misty petting there rescuer.

"Guys, I think you're forgetting someone" Brock cried from down the hole his voice sounding distorted.

"Oh…sorry, Fearow can you get Brock too?" the large bird ignored him continuing to sleep peacefully.

"Squirtle squirt"a group of annoyed voices called from all around. Ash turned to see he was surrounded by Squirtle. He got out his Pokédex to scan them.

"Squirtle. This Tiny Turtle Pokémon draws its long neck into its shell to launch incredible water attacks with amazing range and accuracy. The blasts can be quite powerful." The Pokédex said as it scanned the six for information.

"Squirtle sounds cool, I'm goanna catch one" Ash said excitedly hopping on the spot "Fearow go" the Pokémon sprang into action targeting the only Squirtle with pointed sunglasses with a peck attack. Unfortunately just before it would have connected another Squirtle pushed it out the way taking the attack instead.

It was knocked back and seemingly injured. "Squirtle"the leader looked at its downed friend before engaging in a conversation that Ash couldn't understand. At some point it spoke to Fearow, who just used leer attack in response, before finally they were interrupted by the sound of police sirens.

Ash was surprised when in response to this the Squirtle picked up there downed member and ran away. A motorcycle came to a screeching stop mere inches from the trio. "Are you guys alright?"

"Hi Officer Jenny" Ash said walking towards her.

"Huh, have we met before. You sure don't look familiar" she said looking at him searchingly.

"We met back in Viridian city" Ash explained making the woman's face light up with realisation.

"Oh, you must mean one of my cousins. We're all police officers, all look identical and all are called Jenny" after this she showed them a picture of a small army's worth of Jenny's all saluting and took them back to the station.

When they were at the station she explained everything to them. Apparently those Pokémon were a group called the Squirtle squad. They were all Squirtles that had been abandoned by their Pokémon trainers. Because of this they were angry with humans so ran about pranking everyone in the town.

It was because of this that Ash decided he was going to help them.

They had been abandoned by their trainers making them not like humans. Ash just knew that they weren't bad, they were just upset. If he just showed them how good humans were they could become good again.

Unfortunately they had no way of knowing where they were, so hoping they would get lucky they went to the side of a gentle river. Misty had explained that since they were water Pokémon, the Squirtle were most likely to appear by the river. Ash had believer her too, right up until she got out a fishing rod and started talking about a picnic that they were apparently having.

Ash didn't argue though instead just taking a nap whilst she fished and Brock prepared there food. Misty was happy about this as she continued to fish hoping to catch a new friend for her team. Finally something appeared. It was a blue ball by the looks of it. She assumed it was just someone's toy that fell in the river.

That is until it turned around.

When it turned around she saw the sunglasses, the sunglasses that could mean only one thing. It was part of the Squirtle squad. "Ash I found one of them" she turned shacking the boy away "See I told you they would appear"

Ash shot up straight away poke ball already in hand "Clefairy I want you to talk to Squirtle and get them to stop attacking the town, not fight him ok" Ash said to the small pink Pokémon as it appeared in a burst of light. "Clefairy" it responded nodding its head so that Ash would understand what it meant.

Clefairy bounced forward approaching the Pokémon. It said its name jumping up and down excitedly all the while. Ash knew he had chosen right, Clefairy was always happy so it was the perfect one to talk with the Squirtles.

It seemed to be going well. Until Squirtle hit Clefairy with water gun that is. Clefairy responded with a double slap but was then hit by another water gun from the side this time. "Hey leave Clefairy alone, we're not trying to fight" Ash moved forward only to feel a rob wrap around him.

It was another Squirtle.

He then watched as they ran around them binding him and his companions together leaving them completely helpless. "Clefairy run back to Officer Jenny" Ash commanded his Pokémon only to see it was already defeated.

"Hah-hah-hah you're not going to Squirtle out of this one" Meowth cried appearing from his hiding place behind a tree.

After that Clefairy was caged and the three humans were taken to a cave by the Squirtle who were led by Meowth. Ash was shocked to say the least. He had thought that they weren't really that bad, yet here they were working with Team Rocket.

What made it worse was the realisation that it was his thought they were captured, if he hadn't been so adamant to help the Squirtle squad they would be long gone,

"He-he-he I'm the Pokémon in charge here, just you wait soon my human pets get back" he said lightly prodding Ash with his tail.

"Squirtle don't believe him, those humans aren't his pets there Team Rocket" Ash said hoping for the Squirtle to understand. Fortunately the leader did seem to understand at least slightly. "They're tricking you into doing their work for them"

Unfortunately Meowth was not letting this go on much further "Quiet human" he leapt up delivering a powerful scratch attack to Ash's face. "Who you goanna believe, this human or a fellow Pokémon"

Brock ignored this as he looked at Clefairy. The small pink ball was in its cage breathing heavily and covered in bruises "Ash Clefairy's in bad shape, we've got to get a super potion fast. A shop in town sells it"

"We don't have any left" Ash cried now feeling truly helpless as Brock shook his head in resignation. "Squirtle squad please, you have to let me go get the medicine for Clefairy"

"Squirtle squirt Squirtle!"

They yelled looking at Meowth "They know you humans can't be trusted, as soon as your free you'll just run away"

"No I won't, you can keep me here for as long as you want as long as Clefairy gets the super potion I promise" Ash looked at them trying to see though the glasses to know if they felt any sympathy for him.

"Squirtle" the small blue Pokémon noticed the tears in Ash's eyes and turned to see that Clefairy still looked quiet injured. Finally he relented and freed Ash "Squirtle"

"They say that if you're not back by noon tomorrow the red head's getting her hair dyed purple" Misty's eyes went wide with panic.

"Don't worry I'll be back" Misty nodded but still looked worried.

Ash turned and ran as fast as he could, he had to be fast and get to town quickly. He was able to make it to town soon and was at the drug store when he ran into none other than Gary Oak.

"Hey Ash, what's a loser like you doing here?" Gary asked smiling smugly at the boy who was covered in dirt.

"I'm her for a super potion, I need it for one of my Pokémon" Ash said trying to get into the building but Gary still blocked his way.

"Hah, figures you'd have injured your Pokémon already" this made Ash frown but he ignored him, he didn't have time for this. "What happened anyway, you lose a battle against some weak newbie trainer?"

That was it, Ash was sick of this "Gary shut up, Clefairy's serious trouble if I don't hurry" at this Gary's usually smug face changed to the embodiment of seriousness.

"How bad is it?" he looked tense, clearly he didn't like the idea of an injured Pokémon any more than Ash.

"It's bad, that's why I need to get the super potion right now" Gary grabbed Ash and started pulling him.

"I already have a whole bunch, Clefairy at the Pokémon centre?" he didn't look back as he continued racing to his car Ash now actively running too.

"No, we were kidnapped by Team Rocket. They let me go but are in a cave" Gary didn't question it as he threw the boy into his car and commanded the driver to go full speed.

Finally they stopped at a small crack in a wall Ash and Gary looked at it confused. "What the hell is this? I told you to take us to the cave" Gary yelled at his driver but he remained completely calm.

"Sir, this a secret entrance I heard off. Taking this way in should allow you go get there much faster" Gary nodded turning and looking at the hole.

"Ash it's too small for me but you can go" he reached onto his belt looking for something "Oddish I chose you" the small Pokémon appeared looking ready for a battle "Nothing to fight today, I want you go through that cave with Ash and use flash so he can see"

The small Pokémon nodded running ahead with Ash struggling to keep too due to his larger size. As he continued though he soon became glad that Gary had the foresight to give him Oddish as he noticed the lack of light not coming from Oddish.

When he finally got out the other side he was horrified by what he saw. Everyone was gone. All that was left was an empty cage and some rope. "Clefairy" he cried fearing the worse, as he thought this an image of Misty falling down a bottomless pit crossed his mind "Misty"

He saw the Squirtle and Meowth standing outside and instinctively charged at them "Where are they? Where is Misty and Clefairy, I'm not late so you shouldn't have hurt them? Where are they?" Ash yelled getting a little hysterical.

"We're right here" Misty said looking mildly amused by his outburst. The Squirtle amassed around him laughing boisterously "Where the super potion for Clefairy" Ash quickly produced the bottle Gary had given him.

Brock then administered it carefully to Clefairy's wounds so as to ensure maximum effect. "So Misty your hair isn't purple" Ash said watching with rapt interest.

"Nope, they were bluffing. They play tricks but would never mess with a girls natural hair colour" Misty explained making Ash wonder exactly what their personal morals were. He had heard they destroyed food stands and stole from people, why draw the line at hair dye?

Bang a large bomb hit the mountain side with a Meowth shaped balloon above it.

"To protect the world from devastation"

"To unite all peoples within our nation"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love, to extend our reach to the stars above" they were speaking in unison now.

"Jessie"

"James"

"Squirtle squad it's payback time for insulting Team Rocket, Meowth get on" she yelled lowering a ladder for the small feline Pokémon to grab onto.

"And the rest of you are in for a real blast" James said looking pleased with himself as they began throwing bombs everywhere destroying cliffs.

"Go to the cave for cover" Brock yelled everyone but one doing as they were told. Ash and Misty noticed this as they saw the leader of the Squirtle wiggling on its back.

They didn't think about what they did next.

It was just instinct to charge out and dive for the Pokémon to try to protect it when the bombs fell. "Squire –Squirtle" the small Pokémon looked up at the two saviours shocked, had these two humans really just risked everything to save him?

"Two more bombs are coming" Brock yelled still hiding in the cave.

Misty stood up with no major injuries but Ash didn't follow "Save yourself guys" he muttered looking down at where a large rock lay on his ankle. Squirtle looked at him even more shocked, this couldn't be normal. He was too nice he risked himself for a Pokémon and now wanted to be left behind.

Squirtle wouldn't let that happen, and apparently Misty wouldn't either as they both sprang into action to remove the rock before picking the boy up and running for cover.

Team Rocket just laughed as they continued to float away "We got rid of the Squirtle squad, we're going to be heroes" they cheered only to stop when they saw who was at the top of the cliff.

"Squirtle use water gun" Misty ordered pointing towards the balloon. He complied without question shooting a powerful torrent of water at them popping the balloon.

"Looks like Team Rockets blasting off again" could be heard as they slowly disappeared in the sky.

"Yay, we won again" Ash said being held up by Brock due to his injured ankle.

"Yeah, but it isn't over yet. If that fire continues it take the whole town with it" Brock explained looking at the raging fire set of by Team Rockets bombs.

"No problem" Ash said turning to look at the Squirtle squad "If you guys work together with us we can use your water guns to put out the fire" Ash watched as they, along with some of Misty's water Pokémon put the entire fire out with ease.

After that they returned to the town and told them everything. Unsurprisingly Gary claimed a lot of credit and was celebrated as a hero, apparently some of his Pokémon put out the fire too, but Ash wasn't too surprised since Gary was always like that. The Squirtle squad were also given a certificate as well as the role of firefighters. Apparently they never had a real fire department before, hey had always relied on a joint one from the next town over which was slightly unsettling to hear.

And with that last little bit of news Ash and his friends departed happy with the knowledge that they had taught the Squirtle to trust humans again. "Hey Ash that Squirtle is following us" they turned to see it standing there smiling happily.

"Hey, would you like to come with us Squirtle?" Ash said looking back as the Squirtle removed its sunglasses revealing bright sparkling eyes. It then raced forwards straight into the awaiting arms of Ash. "Guess I got a new Pokémon" he said hugging it close.

Then Squirtle jumped out his arms and into Misty's "Squirtle squirt".

"Hey guys what's going on, I can't understand him?" Brock said confused by the behaviour in general.

"I think he says he wants to come with me" Misty reached for her belt got out a poke ball. Squirtle then jumped away and back to Ash.

"See he wants to come with me" Ash said getting his own poke ball out for the capture. Once again Squirtle jumped away.

"Huh, maybe he doesn't want to come with us after all" Brock thought but Squirtle dismissed it by shaking his head rapidly. "Then who do you want to go with?"

It reached a hand out to Misty with one holding Ash "Squirtle"

"Hey guys I think I understand it…" they looked at Ash expectantly "Its saying 'I want to go with Ash, sorry about holding this girls hand, that must be very misleading for you guys'" Misty face palmed.

"Actually I think he's saying he wants to go with both of you" Brock tried noticing how Squirtle nodded quickly response "See I'm right"

"He can't do that, Pokémon only have one trainer" Ash said looking at the small Pokémon who looked disappointed.

"Why?" both humans and Pokémon alike turned to look at Brock "You guys already share Pokémon anyway, so what difference does it make between this and that?" Ash and Misty looked at each other for a few seconds before nodding.

"But he goes in my Poke ball" Misty said refusing to put it away.

"Why yours!" Ash yelled seeing right though her ploy, she was trying to take Squirtle for herself.

This bickering went on for a while annoying Brock the whole time. What was wrong with these two that they always fight over everything?

A/N

So now Ash and Misty have a Pokémon that is owned by both of them. Do you think it's a good idea, I like it but that doesn't say much since it's my own idea?

I don't think anyone's done it before either, so it's either a good idea that no one else thought of or so stupid that I should see the reason not but cant.

Please review with your thoughts on this as well as the story in general.
