Hello! Here's the new chapter of Pokemorph Craziness! Hope you enjoy!! And thanks to The-Black-Cuno, DJ GF, and nintendo rocks 88 for reviewing!

I sighed and sat up. I started to stand up, but felt something brush my hand. I looked down to see Rachel curled next to me. "Up." I shook Rachel gently. She sat up and blinked at me, then hugged me. "Are you ok? I was so worried!" she sounded like a mother with her lost child. "I'm fine!" I replied with a grin. "So, how do you get rid of these stupid things?" I said, pointing to my ears. She sighed. "I'm not sure, but after that girl ripped your bandana off, we felt them disappear, so we pulled our hoods off." She smiled sadly. I huffed childishly. "Don't worry." She hugged me.

"Ash, what happened to him?" I asked dejectedly. "He said you needed time, said I should come comfort you." She smiled. "Oh." I said simply. Then I got up and turned to leave. "Wait! What's the matter?" she got up and grabbed my shoulder. "I'm going." I wrenched out of her grasp. "Why?" she looked sad. "I'm not going back to see Ash and Brock and Misty. And you too should go back with your friends. I… don't want to go back." I said, my hair 

shadowing my face. "Ashleigh! Wait!" I heard someone call. Suddenly I was attacked in the side. I fell to the ground. I looked up and saw Ash holding me down. "Let me up." I said simply. "No." he returned. I let out a growl and started to struggle. "St-stop!" he yelled. I stopped and blinked at him. "Here." He sighed and let me get up. I stared at him for a second. "Yes?" I asked. "Why are you leaving?" he asked, he looked like he hadn't slept last night, and I hoped it wasn't because he was worrying about me.

"Because-" I was suddenly interrupted as a bush next to me rattled like crazy. I jumped and hid behind Rachel. Pikachu appeared from the bushes a few seconds later. I breathed a sigh of relief. "You're skittish." Ash laughed lightly. I stuck my tongue out at him in a childish manor. "I may be skittish but at least I'm alert." I puffed my cheeks in a pout. "True" he laughed. Suddenly Rachel lifted me on to her back piggy back style. "Eep! Oh, cool Rachel!" I called, swing my tail happily. Wait…NO! I growled lightly and stopped my tail.

"You okay Ashleigh?" Ash asked. "Yup." I grinned. Rachel headed off and Ash followed, I rested my head on Rachel's shoulder. "Still tired?" Rachel asked. I nodded. We made it to a pathway and I saw Bryan, Brock, and Misty. "Ashleigh!" they all cried when they saw me. Brock ran over to Rachel and grabbed me in a bridal style position. "Are you all right?' he asked. I grinned sheepishly. "Yep!" "I'm glad, because of you, I get to spend time with Rachel!" he hugged me.

"Yeah, thanks…" he let me down. "Hey, um, sorry to make you all worry." I said quietly. "It's fine, that Cassidy girl is an idiot." Bryan said and put an arm around my shoulder. I hugged him, and I noticed Ash had a slight look of jealously flash across his face. I stopped and let go of Bryan, then jumped back onto Rachel's back. "Oof!" she grunted. "I like it up here!" I grinned. Everyone laughed. Rachel slowly let me back down. I pouted slightly. "Prepare for trouble!" a voice suddenly rang out. I saw a hot air balloon in the air. Team Rocket. I figured I'd end their speech early. I grabbed a stick, about as long as my arm, but much thinner, and chucked it towards the balloon. "And make it- OWWW!" the balloon landed near us, and two people and a Pokémon jumped out.

"How dare you!" the blue haired man screamed, a red mark across his face. I put a hand to my mouth to hold in my laughter. "So you did it huh?" he bolted so he was standing right in front of me. "So what if I did?" I put an irritated look on. He lifted me so he had me in a neck-lock. I growled and bit into his upper arm. "AAIIHH!" he cried and let me go. "Yo, you better leave or I'll open up a can of whoop butt on you!" I threatened. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!" I heard Ash call. I glanced away to see that Pikachu was caught in some kind of container.

I bolted to help, but felt something tug on my tail. I turned to see James latched onto it. "Dude, get off." I growled darkly. "And if I don't?" James asked. "This" I said simply and turned and slipped my foot under his, making him fall to the ground with a thud. I raced to where Pikachu was mid-air in a small container, being lifted up to the hot air balloon, which was back in the air. I picked up speed and jumped high into the air. I grabbed onto the container, and felt the cord pulling it shake violently. "Pikachu!" the Pokémon's cry was muffled by the container. I gripped the cord between my teeth and bit down hard. I let go and saw a small rip in it. I smiled, and bit back onto it. I felt it rip and I let go.

Suddenly it ripped completely through. I screamed as I plummeted to the ground. "GO!" I heard Ash call, and suddenly I landed on something rough. I looked down to see Charizard carrying me. I tightly gripped the Pokémon's neck, scared of falling. Charizard landed next to Ash, then disappeared in a red flash. I clutched the container with Pikachu so tight my knuckles turned white. "Are you ok?" Ash asked coming up beside me. I nodded, then handed him Pikachu, ad wrapped my arms around his shoulders in a hug.

"Thank you so much!" I said, and let go. Ash blushed lightly and smiled. "Thanks for saving Pikachu." He replied. I glanced back to the big hot air balloon to team rocket landing. I groaned. "Go!" I heard two people say, and saw two bright flashes of light. Suddenly an Arbok and a Weezing were in front of us. "Go Pikachu!" Pikachu jumped between us and the poisonous Pokémon. "Thunder!" Pikachu had static charges all over his body, and suddenly a huge lightning bolt crashed down from the clouds. It struck team rocket and sent them flying into space. "WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" they called, and disappeared.

Hope you liked it!
