Ch 3: Enter Alexis

A/N: First off I would like to thank those who have submitted their o/c to my story, but I still need a few more. Before I start I am required to say I do no own pokemon. So lets get this started 3...2...1!

"Wow Zeke that is one powerful Pichu." Ash commented making Pichu proud.

"Yes that is true," Prof Oak added, "but I have one question. Why did you not want me to let her out of the pokeball until now?"

"You see Pichu is not of this time, and I was afraid she would panic without me there." Zeke simply stated, 'I knew I would have to deal with this question..' Zeke was nervous about it but he figured it was time to explain it to someone.

\flashback/

Three years ago in Ilex forest in Johto I was traveling to Goldenrod City as I passed the srine in the center of the forest.

Their was a sudden flash of light and I saw a Celebi fly off. But that's not what called my attention, as soon as the Celebi left I herd a baby pokemon crying. I turned around and I saw Pichu laying there all alone and afraid.

I did want I could to find her owner, even asked Officer Jenny to help me with it. I thought all was lost until I met a man who knew her trainer, there was one problem though , the pokemon had been missing for over twenty years and her master had died .

\End flashback/

" So I did what I could to help her adjust and she became very attached, but just before I came back to Kanto I was attacked by a group called team rocket whom tried to take her away, and failed." Zeke said raping up his story with, "to prevent us from getting attacked again I transferred her pokeball over to your grandson Gary who then transferred her for me to you."

"Wow that was an interesting story Zeke, did you ever find out how Pichu got there?" Ash asked

"Well I assumed that one would be obvious, Celebi Brought her here to this time for a unknown reason." Zeke said.

"Ok boys I think we need to head inside and get you informed about the rules of the tournament." Oak said wile heading into the lab.

The group sat in the living room of the house and both Ash and Zeke were handed a sheet of paper with the rules printed on it.

POKEMON WORLD TOURNIMENT RULES

This is a tag team tournament meaning that you will need a partner.

Each Competitor will be able to use three pokemon in each match.

The battle is over when all six pokemon on one side have been defeated.

The tournament will be held at the Indigo Plato in Kanto. All are welcome to participate.

Zeke and Ash parted ways three days later to find partners for the tournament.

With sixteen of his most power full pokemon on hand Zeke started in the direction of Viridian city to call up an old friend of his. His name is Daniel King from Unova.

On his way there he stumbled upon a Girl being tormented by a group of team rocket member.

"Give us all your pokemon girly, or we will have to take them from you." said one of the team rocket members.

"Just leave me and my pokemon alone!" the girl called out " you can't have them"

"Zoroark use your night slash to help her out." Zeke yelled out trying to help the girl. "no one steals pokemon on my watch." Zoroark's Night slash managed to knock out all of the rockets pokemon and get them to run away.

"th-th- hank you for your help sir." the girl said to Zeke " I don't know what I would have don't if you hadn't have come along"

"It was no problem, I hate those guys anyway." Zeke said with a warm smile." My names Zeke by the way, Zeke Stone."

" My names Alexis Lemmings, I was out here trying to find a good place to read and they tried to steal my pokemon." Alexis said with a mixture of sadness and anger in her eyes.

"Well Alexis, if you don't mind I would like you to come with me to Viridian City just in case they come back and decide to attack you once again." Zeke offered, hopeing that team rocket would not show up again.

"I guess that would be ok, if you don't mind." Alexis said shyly.

" I was heading that way anyway so why not have company on the trip." Zeke said " you know what they say the more the merrier."

\::/

After a wile of silence they finally made it to Viridian City, their first stop was the pokemon center

"if you wouldn't mind could you take our pokemon to the front desk, I need to make a quick phone call." Zeke asked, " I would do it but the call Is rather important."

"Ok no problem I will get on it right now." Alexis said as she took his pokeballs and went to the Nurse for assistance.

Zeke turned to the phone and entered Daniel's Ex-transceiver number. It rung twice and he got an answer.

"Why hello Zeke how are you?" Daniel asked "its been a wile since we have spoken."

"Hey man I'm great how about you." Zeke was obviously exited to be talking to his friend again.

"I'm great may I ask why you called me?" Daniel was always one to get right to the point in a conversation.

" I was calling to find out if you where interested in being my partner in the Pokemon World Tournament." Zeke realy wanted him to join him because of his powerful Bisharp that he wanted on his side.

" sure I can manage that I will head that way as soon as I get a chance to." Daniel said " You still got that amazingly fast Pidgeot of yours?"

"That I do my friend and its getting faster everyday." this was true Zeke was training his Pidgeot to be as fast as possible.

" well see ya when I get there" Daniel said

"see ya soon buddy"
