I want to thank you both. Thanks for the Akatsuki idea (an extension, at least...) and the Narutopedia thing. Unfortunately, according to Narutopedia, Tobi/Madara and Zetsu are the only members of the Akatsuki that are still alive. And yet last I knew, Deidara and Sasori were battling Kakshi, Naruto, Sakura, and Lady Chiyo. So I guessed, and came up with 9. And I found a Pokemon wiki, which I used to pick the rest of the Pokemon. Kisame is Gyarados, Deidara is Articuno, Pain is Mewtwo, Sasori is Groudon, Itachi is Azelf, Zetsu is Shaymin, Konan is Mew, Kakuzu is Moltres, and Hidan is Entei. Keep in mind this ONLY applies for the Pokemon Akatsuki. ONLY FOR THE POKEMON AKATSUKI! I'm trying REALLY hard here to spoil the future for you guys, and you still don't get it? ONLY. FOR. THE. POKEMON. AKATSUKI!!!!

"Enough of this," the other voice, Mewtwo, suddenly comanded. "Get the target. Now. Both of you."

"...Okay," Azelf, which was waiting next to Gyarados, replied.

Meanwhile, with the plot...

"How....did you beat me?" Ash asked. "Due to my popularity, I rarely ever get beaten."

"Probably because of his super powerful Pokemon," Sam told him.

Ash and Joseph turned around and noticed Sam for the first time.

"A native!" Ash gasped. "Konichiwa."

"What?" Sam gave him a weird look.

"We all speak the same language, idiot," Joseph told Ash before adressing Sam. "Hey. Who are you?"

"...Sam. And this...is Yoshin." Sam's eye twitched as she spoke for some weird reason. By the way, we words want to mention that we have no idea how to spell Konichiwa, we just did the best we could and spelled it the Spanish way it sounded. It's hard to explain.

"I'm Joseph. My favorite Pokemon is Minun, but my two most powerful Pokemon are my Arceus and a Bibarel, which is honestly sad." Joseph sighed, silently cursing himself for being so eager to catch a shiny Pokemon that he accidentally trained that dumb Bibarel to level 60. "And...I assume you know who Ash is."

"Wait, you live here, right?" Ash asked.

"Yeah..." Sam wondered what was going through his head as elsewhere, a Girafarig ate some leaves. They smelled like brownies, only now they smell like...yeah, you know.

"Then are you a ninja?" Ash demanded.

"Um, no," Sam hesitated. "At least, I don't think so."

"Pika! Pika Pika!" Yoshin insisted. (Don't listen to her! She's totally a ninja!)

Yoshin, stop spoiling the plot.

"PIKA!" Yoshin argued. (You're not the boss of me!)

Don't make us send in the Author, because she won't be happy. Now back to the plot, please.

"Anyway," Ash continued. "Then are you a Pokemon Trainer?"

"I'm seven years old, I don't quite think I'm quite old enough," Sam told him.

"But in The Best of Pokemon Adventures: Red, there were a bunch of like five year olds trying to catch a Pokemon," Joseph pointed out.

"Yes, but they also mixed up Blue and Green at the Pokemon League Championship," Sam retorted. Then she added sarcastically, "Yeah, Green is definitely a male."*

AHEM. Plot.

"Oh, um..." Ash pulled out a notecard from his pocket. "'Well, all three of us'...too cheesey. I know you can do better than that."

Okay, that's it. We've HAD it. And we're ALREADY having a bad Friday, ASH!

"Sorry," Ash muttered sarcastically.

....GR...

"I believe we're having plot problems," a voice announced. Ash, Joseph, and Sam turned around to see someone else running their way. She had blonde hair tied up in a ponytail, glasses, green eyes that occasionally turned blue, blue jeans, gray sneakers, and a red hoodie with a piano and the letters 'JLCMTA' on it. On the hoodie was a sticker that said 'I'm Spottedpaw13'.

"...Oops," Ash muttered.

"Good job, you three." Spottedpaw13 muttered. "Somehow things got so bad that I had to literally bring myself in, not just my cheap imitation."

"I'm not cheap!" Spottedpaw13, cat version, protested.

"SHUT UP, KITTY!" Spottedpaw13, person with the clothes, told her. "I'm already having a bad day. At least I've managed to catch Corsola. But as it turns out, I forgot my hat, I forgot my dollar, and I can't go to this dance after all. The only reasons I'm actually sad about that last one is that it's a dance for people OLDER than me, which is awesome, and that I have a couple of friends going to it. So you don't want me to have many more problems."

"Why?" Joseph asked.

Spottedpaw13, person with the clothes, pressed a button on a remote. A level 61 Bibarel came out. "Wrong button," she muttered, recalling the Bibarel and pressing the correct button. A TV appeared out of nowhere.
For some reason, everything was on fire. All the main characters, minor characters, chorus people, and backstage crew members (drama club humor, Yoshin explained, but was immediately shushed) ran around screaming until they died. Constant screams of "I"M BURNING!!!" and "WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!" were heard, although at one point someone yelled "I SMELL CHOCOLATE PUDDING!", and someone else yelled "YOUR MOTHER PLAYS CARD GAMES HERE!!!!!!!!". Spottedpaw13, person with the clothes, stood watching, and let out an evil laugh.

Sam backed away slowly. "We'll be good."

Spottedpaw13, person with the clothes, smiled happily and vanished.

"Creepy," Ash muttered. "Anyway, so all three of us have Pokemon."

"That's awesome," Sam admitted.

"Who votes that we travel together in a group that will vanish anyway in two chapters?" Joseph asked.

"Me!" Ash and Sam yelled. Joseph's Minun suddenly noticed something in the distance and attacked it with Spark. There was nothing good about it, we words even swear that there was an evil smile upon the Minun's face as it turned away. But we are always wrong.

Gyarados and Azelf groaned. They had been SO close to the target, but that stupid Minun had mercilessly attacked, leaving them weak and paralyzed. One could argue that these are the same, but it depends on the situation one is arguing for.

"What's WRONG with you?" Mewtwo asked. "I gave you ONE simple task! I'll give you another chance, but if you fail, I'll send in Articuno and Groudon!"

"Just don't send Mew in, or we're doomed..." Gyarados muttered.

* OKAY, HOLD YOUR HORSES! I'll admit, in some cases I was wrong and Pokemon Adventure was right on that teeny bit. On OneManga, there's Pokemon Special, in which, from what I've read (Pokemon championship), Green actually is Red's rival and Blue is that annoying female that flurts with EVERYONE and steals from EVERYONE. However, if you read The Best of Pokemon Adventure: Red, you'll find that not only does Red imagine himself being "One of the Greats", which doesn't make sense in my opinion but whatever, but on Page 45 Red meets Blue, the owner of Charamnder and Professor Oak's grandson, and on page 87 we find out that the mysterious person that ripped Red off is named Green, the wonderful person that stole Professor Oak's Squirtle. The names switched when "Dr. O" looked at the three trainers' profile things or whatever they are, but switch back. I'm assuming that for some reason they switched the names in Pokemon Adventure and in that picture forgot to change them back. Or something...-_-

Okay, libithewolf, I admit I made a mistake. Three mistakes actually. I told you that Sasori was either Moltres or Entei, which he isn't, and that Itachi is Mew, which he ISN'T, thank goodness for you. I got things mixed up. Also, I'll admit Deidara was originally Rayquaza before you revealed the very important fact that his jutsu is earth style, which you explained WHY it makes no sense. So I made him Articuno and gave Mewtwo to Pain, who originally was Articuno. You may stop being angry at me now.

I'll admit this chapter took me a week to write. It was hard, and I've pushed my original plans farther back for a reason I no longer remember. I'll also admit that I was going to introduce the real villains and real heroes in this chapter, but I changed my mind. You'll have to wait....HA!
