Chapter 3
A/N: No excuses for lateness. Enjoy this story.
Ash opened his eyes slowly. However, bright light forced them shut again. Ash remembered the trick a man in the desert had taught him before. He counted to twenty before opening his eyes again. He found himself in front of a huge tree, easily ten meters tall.
Ash blinked slowly as he put his hands on the grassy ground and stood up. His head was still a little groggy. He held out a hand to support himself on the tree. He sighed and looked at the tree. He saw his hand. However, it wasn't a hand. At least, it wasn't a human hand. It was red and his 'fingers' were claws. Ash's eyes bulged wide. He felt something behind him. He turned and saw a red tail with a burning flame on it.
Ash screamed like a girl before fainting.

Ash opened his eyes again. There was something blue, black and purple looking back at him. He closed his eyes and shook his head before opening them again. This time, he saw a Piplup, Sneazel, and a Zubat looking back at him. He hastily got up and backed away.
"Wh-who are you?!" he demanded.
"Um…don't freak out, but…" The Piplup seemed hesitant but it continued, "Ash, it's me, Dawn."
Ash flinched. His mind was churning inside his skull. This Piplup was talking and he can understand exactly what it was saying. It also claimed that it was Dawn. Very funny…
The others seemed to be quite worried.
"Okay, let's pretend that you're Dawn," Ash did not manage to finish the sentence. He felt a thought shoot through his brain. The thought wasn't his, it was Dawn's.
'Idiot…'
"Hey!" shouted Ash. Dawn instantly smiled.
"Now you get it. Hello Ash the Charmander," her grin was wide over her face.
"I'm a Charmander??" Ash sounded incredulous.
Now, it was the Zubat who spoke up. "Hi, I'm Brock."
"And I'm Sena," said the Sneazel.
Ash's eyes twitched.
"So how did we get here?" asked Ash.
Sena opened his mouth to answer. Just then, a bush behind rustled. Everyone jumped in alarm.
A/N: Extremely short, I know. However, the best part is happening after this…
