Pokémon Regeneration
Chapter 2: Problems in Johto
Ash and his friends are staying the night in a hotel that is near Johto on their map. "Ash, when are we going to Johto?" asked Lyra. Ash replied, "first thing in the morning." Then all of a sudden they hear a large commotion coming from toward Johto! Everyone quickly awakens from their well deserved rest.
"What was that?" asked Dawn in a surprised voice. Brock said, "Let's go check it out." So the young friends in a hurry packed their stuff. "We need to hurry!" exclaimed May. Iris commenting said, "I think we're ready." The young friends quickly grabbed their stuff, and ran out the hotel door at midnight.
Along the way they saw an elderly man that was heartbroken. They stopped to ask the man what is going on. He said, "There is something that is taking everyone's pokémon." Ash asked, "Could it be Team Rocket?" Then the man looking even more depressed said, "Whatever it was took my beloved Granbull." "We're sorry for your loss sir" said Misty.
The group ran even further to find no pokémon in sight. Every person they met seemed sad. They finally reached the entrance of Johto, and looked on in surprise. Buildings were destroyed, people moping around depressed, and still no pokémon. Ash and his friends ran to the nearest pokémon center.
When they entered things seemed to have gotten worse. "The pokémon are gone!" screamed Nurse Joy. Ash asked, "You mean all the pokémon are gone?" Nurse Joy answered, "I don't know what happened, but yes their all gone." Suddenly Ash and his friend's pokeballs busted open, and the pokémon vanished. The only pokémon that remained was Pikachu.
"My pokémon!" screamed Brock. The friends were very surprised and disappointed. Iris said, "Why is Pikachu still here?" "We need to find answers" said May. They noticed out the window a pitch black sky on the other side of town. "Let's go see what's going on over there" said Ash.
A deep loud voice stopped them. "I am Zacharias, the most legendary pokémon" said the voice. Ash asked, "Are you the cause of the pokémon disappearing?" Zacharias said, "Yes I have come to free every pokémon and bring them to my planet. I will not give the name of this planet, but know they will be taken care of. On the contrary, I will give you a chance to stop me. If you can beat me with Pikachu, I will bring the pokémon back, make them stronger, and I will become your pokémon Ash Ketchum. This challenge is destined to take place. I will leave now, but we will meet again the next sundown."
