Woohoo, Chapter 4! This'll be fun, yes? :D

To clear up an earlier question, I'm using Pokemon Mystery Dungeons: Explorers of Darkness/Time for the Pokemon factor and the Japanese dub/English sub version for the One Piece factor :3 And yes, I do reference a Harry Potter book in that first paragraph down there.

Also, I realize they call him "Zoro" in the Japanese sub. I just think "Zolo" is awesomer :3

Chapter 4: Mikan Meowth!

In the morning, they were once again awoken by Loudred ("Ow, my freakin' EARS!" said Zolo), brought through the morning exercises ("I feel like I'm in a freakin' kid's TV show!" said Zolo), and were completely lost, only to be helped by Chatot ("Out of the wok, into the freakin' fire!" said Zolo).

Chatot took them upstairs and left to a bulletin board. Luffy looked around, "Hey, didn't we go to the other side yesterday?"

Chatot nodded, "Correct! Today, we'll have you do a job listed on this side."

Luffy tilted his head, "How is it different from the board on the other side?"

"Take a closer look!" Chatot commanded.

As they looked at it, They noticed there were posters with pictures of Pokemon with giant letters reading "WANTED" under them. Zolo blinked, "A wanted board, huh?"

Chatot nodded, "You catch on quickly."

"Not to mention we're wanted pirates in our world..." he muttered.

"What was that?"

"Er... Nothing!"

"He said--" Zolo slammed his arm-blade into Luffy's face, then turned back, "Oops!"

Luffy blinked, "That kinda surprised me."

Chatot sighed, "ANYWAY, if you're not too badly hurt.. Shall we continue?"

Zolo and Luffy nodded. Slightly disturbed by the lack of emotion, Chatot continued, "These are outlaws--"

"Duh." Zolo commented.

"...So there are--"

"..Bounties on their heads." Luffy finished, grinning.

Chatot sweat-dropped, "Why are you smiling about this?"

"E-er..." Zolo whacked Luffy again, "Excuse him, he was dropped on his head as a child."

Luffy rubbed the beginnings of a bruise on his cheek, "No I wasn't! I stabbed myself in the cheek, but--"

"As a result of being dropped on your head as a child," Zolo taunted.

Chatot blinked, "Well, um.. that explains that scar." He pointed a wing at the scar below Luffy's eye.

Luffy nodded, "Yup!" he grinned.

Chatot and Zolo sweatdropped. "You are way too happy," Zolo commented.

"....C-continuing..." Chatot seemed to try to calm down, "There are so many aggressive Pokemon around these days that everyone's finding it hard to keep up with the problem."

Luffy's eyes were shining, "Cool, this is like being a marine!"

Chatot blinked, "A..... what?"

"Er.. nothing." Zolo whacked Luffy once again.

"So you want us to catch those pirates, right?" Luffy grinned confidently.

"Er..." Chatot sweat-dropped, "Yes."

"Cool! This'll be fun!"

"Yeah, the way fighting Mihawk was fun..." Zolo muttered.

Luffy looked over the posters, "Maybe this is the kinda work Koby is doing!"

Meanwhile, back in the world of One Piece...

"Helmeppo! Get back here, you missed a spot!"

"Here, I'll get that, sir!"

"Thanks, Koby, buddyyy..."

"GET TO WORK, CHORE BOYS!!!"

"YESSIR!!"

"Please don't hurt me...."

Back in the world of Pokemon....

"Hey, Doof! Doof?!"

"Yup yup!" yelled a voice with a Southern accent. A beaver-like Pokemon with a round, stumpy tail came up from the lower floor.

Luffy stared at it with wide eyes, "Woah, cool!"

Zolo smacked him, "Don't stare, moron."

The beaver-thing panted, "Huff-puff-huff.... You called?"

Chatot nodded curtly, "Ah, Doof. These are the new recruits that just joined us!"

Zolo sighed, muttering, "The way he says 'recruits' makes us sound like rookie chore boys..."

Chatot sweatdropped and shot Zolo a doom-glare, then turned back to "Doof" as if nothing had happened. "Take them and show them around town."

Doof brightened up, "Yes sirree! By golly, I'll do just that! Yup yup!"

Chatot turned back to the pirates, making a point of speaking to Luffy, "This is Doof the Bidoof. He's one of your fellow apprentices. I want you to pay attention to what Doof has to say and follow his orders. Off you go!"

Chatot hopped away downstairs. Doof teared up, "Aww, shucks, I'm overjoyed!"

Luffy tilted his head, "Why are you crying, then?" Zolo smacked him.

Doof grinned, "I'm glad to have members junior to me! I'm almost overcome right now... I might just blubber with happiness!"

"You already are." Luffy commented, earning another hit.

Doof looked concerned, "Ain't that 'urtin' y'all by now?"

Luffy shook his head proudly, "I can't get hurt with physical attacks! I'm made out of rubber. See?" he stretched his cheeks for Doof to see.

Doof blinked, "Well, I'll be. A rubber pikachu!"

Luffy grinned. Doof straightened up, "Well, I'd best show y'all around. Follow me, please."

They followed him downstairs to the floor they had been on before. After a quick tour of the floors, they wents up and out into town. By the time they reached the store on the other side of town, Luffy was confused beyond belief and Zolo fell asleep under a tree. Virette ran up to them, "Hey, you two! How's it going?"

Luffy blinked, "Do you know what a "Da Skull" is?"

Virette paused for a second before bursting into laughter, "Oh, you mean Duskull? It's another Pokemon."

This called for another long explanation, cut short as Luffy suddenly ran off, running over Zolo and for once waking him up imidiately. Zolo flew after him full-speed, "What's the rush?"

"Nami!" Luffy sped away, leaving Zolo to try and keep up.

The two pirate-Pokemon continued running for hours. Finally, Luffy reached a clearing where a cat-like Pokemon with cream fur and mikan-orange markings fell out of a tree and onto a rock. Flicking a strange strand of hair from out of her eyes, she straightened up, "Stop following me, if you please. Who are you, and how do you know my name?" she glared at them.

In the next chapter: Why doesn't Nami recognize them? Is it even Nami at all? How will Doof and Virette react? Will they make it to the Guild in time for dinner!? Find out in the next chapter!
