Faux: So we're doing Trix's story?

Omega: Yup. Starting all the way back in Kanto.

Faux: But why Trix? He's not even the strongest or the most impressive among us.

Omega: Are you jealous?

Faux: NO, I just- Well my story's pretty interesting too. Why does Trix get to be first?

Ohirume: He's the only one of you I've developed as a character.

Faux: GAH! WHO ARE YOU?!

Seishin: Woah, calm down foxer. This is Rob, he's our author.

Faux: Wait, really? Awesome, so when are we doing my story?

Ohirume: Uhhhh, good question. But for now, how about you do the disclaimer.

Faux: The what?

Omega: Just read the script.

Faux: Um, okay. "Ohirume does not own Pokémon or Ben 10." Wait, who's Ohirume?

First Catch, Second Catch and … A Samurai?

"I still say you're bluffing." Pikachu said in annoyance.

Ash chuckled, "'fraid not buddy. You were conscious during the whole thing. Just hyped up on laughing gas."

Pikachu glared, "That still doesn't explain why I would say all those things. Plus, why would humans make something that forces others to laugh?"

Ash and Soot laughed.

It had been two hours since the group left the Pokémon Center. After an excruciatingly long interrogation, they started making their way towards Viridian Forest, en route to Pewter City. Also, they were being followed.

Ash stopped, turned around, and called out, "You know you don't have to keep hiding like that, right?"

Misty walked out from behind at tree.

Ash frowned, "Care to explain why your following us?"

Misty glared, "You destroyed my bike! I still want you to pay me back for it, uh … I still don't even know your name."

Ash chuckled, "I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town. As for the bike; I'm sorry but I don't have enough to pay for a replacement."

Misty crossed her arms, "Well then, I'll just have to keep following you until you do."

Ash rolled his eyes, "Fine. Just please stop hiding. It's creepy." He started walking down the path again.

Misty blinked, "wha- hey, wait up!" she hurried to catch up.

The trio, now quartet, continued on their way to Viridian Forest. As the trees came into view, Misty flinched.

"Wait! We're going in there?!"

Ash turned to look at her, "Yeah. Why?"

Misty looked over at Ash, "Well, couldn't we go around or something? So, we can avoid all the creepy bugs?"

Soot smirked, "Misty. Are you afraid of Bug-types?"

"Hey, Bugs are one of the three most disgusting things in the world." Misty shouted; not denying her fear.

Ash raised a brow, "what are the other two?"

"Peas and Carrots."

Pikachu snickered, "Oh, this'll be good."

Ash looked at Pikachu in confusion before looking back at Misty. He frowned as he saw what Pikachu meant, "Oh no."

Misty blinked, "what are you-" before she could finish, she felt something brushing up against her leg. She looked down shakily and saw a caterpie clinging to her ankle.

She screamed.

Ash, Pikachu, and Soot were forced to cover their ears to keep from going deaf. When it quieted down, they looked again to find Misty on the ground and trying to kick the caterpie off her.

Feeling bad, Ash walked over and pulled the Pokémon off the screaming girl. She relaxed but flinched again when she saw the caterpie in Ash's arms.

Ash frowned, "Wow, you really are afraid."

"J-just get rid of it already." Misty stuttered.

Ash turned towards the forest and put the Bug-type down, "Here you go little guy."

The Worm Pokémon turned to face him and stared. They didn't leave.

Ash raised a brow, "You're free to go." No change. "You can go back home now. We won't bother you anymore." They still didn't budge.

Ash frowned before perking up upon realizing something. He smiled softly, "Do you want to come with me?" The Bug-type's eyes lit up before they ran up to Ash, nuzzled his leg, and cried out in joy.

Ash chuckled, "Alright, I guess that's a 'yes'."

Misty stared in shock, "Wait! You're not actually going to catch it are you?!"

Ash looked back at her, "Caterpie's the one who wants to come with me. Who am I to argue?"

Ash pulled out a pokéball, enlarged it, and held it in front of Caterpie. Not hesitating, the Bug-type tapped their head against the ball and let themself be caught instantly.

Soot ran over, "Alright! Your first real catch!"

Ash chuckled, "Thanks Soot. Hey, Pikachu, we have a new teammate."

"Sweet!"

Ash tossed the pokéball into the air and released Caterpie.

Misty flinched again, "What are you doing?!"

Ash looked over, "Well, I just caught him. It's only right that I get to know him."

Ash held out his left arm to let Caterpie climb on. Caterpie approached it but turned to Misty at the last second and charged at her immediately.

The small bug chased her around for 5 straight minutes before Ash picked him up again.

'This'll take some getting used to.' Ash turned to the others, "Let's go. Pewter City awaits."

Ash made his way to the forest. Soot and Pikachu followed shortly after. Misty took a second to calm down and followed as well.

.

**Time Skip**

After traveling through the forest for about 3 hours, the gang decided to break for lunch.

Ash pulled out a picnic blanket, a box lunch, three bowls, and a container of Pokémon food.

He set everything up in a matter of minutes. The Pokémon all ran over to their bowls and started digging in immediately. Ash was quick to join them.

He was half-way done when he noticed Misty sitting off to the side and not eating.

He pulled out another box lunch, "Misty, heads up."

Making sure he got her attention; he tossed the box over to her.

Misty caught it and scowled, "I can take care of myself." She put the box to the side.

Ash didn't look back at her, "Just because you can, doesn't mean you have to. I'm not gonna hold it against you, if that's what your worried about."

Misty was about to argue but was cut off by her own stomach growling. Blushing, she glanced at the box, picked it up and turned around. She started eating a.s.a.p.

Ash smiled and continued eating.

He ended up finishing first and got up to stretch. His Pokémon followed not long after.

Ash smiled, "Alright, let's go."

Misty heard him and glared, "Hey, can you be a little patient? I'm not done eating."

Ash shook his head, "Training, not traveling. You can take your time, if you want. The rest of us are gonna head into the woods to exercise."

Ash started walking towards a bush with his Pokémon following. Soot called back, "We'll be back soon."

Misty watched as they left and sighed. She continued eating.

.

*Ash's team

"So, dad, what's on the agenda today?" Soot asked.

Caterpie cocked his head, "What's a dad?"

Pikachu looked at the Bug-type, "It's what humans call their male meemas."

Ash nodded, "Yeah. That's also part of why we're actually out here."

Caterpie looked at Ash in surprise, "Did you understand me?"

Soot shook her head, "Sorry but no. Dad can only understand a few species. Pikachu's is among them, though."

Pikachu frowned, "That's something I wanted to ask about, actually. Pokémon language is universal between species. If you can understand one, you should be able to understand all of them."

Ash shrugged, "I've been wondering the same thing for a while. Somehow, Power Integration puts that weird limit on the translation thing. I still can't explain it."

Caterpie was completely lost. His new trainer could apparently understand Pokémon, just not all of them, and was blaming it on something called power inte- inte- well, power something.

Soot noticed Caterpie's confused stare, "Dad, I think Caterpie could use an explanation."

Ash heard her and looked at the Bug-type, "Oh, right. Just warning you now, what I'm about to do will either clear everything up or make everything five times more confusing." Ash pushed the button on the side of his watch.

Finding a form that wouldn't scare the Bug-type, Ash smiled and slammed down on the watch.

When the green light faded, a vaporeon stood in Ash's place with the watch's symbol attached to their chest.

"So, what do you think?" Ash asked.

Caterpie cocked his head, "About what?"

Soot blinked, "You're not confused at seeing your trainer turn into a Pokémon?"

Caterpie turned to her, "Lots of things can transform. How is this any different?"

Ash and Soot looked at each other, not expecting that reaction.

Pikachu groaned, embarrassed that he fainted when he found out.

They all heard a cry from above and turned to see a pidgeotto charging down at them. Well, at Caterpie.

Before she could reach him, Ash tackled the bird in the side, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?!"

The bird glared at him, "What does it look like I'm doing?! Stay out of this, fish!"

Ash glared, "Not happening. If you want him, you'll have to go through me."

Pikachu stepped forward, "Count me in."

Soot joined in, "What he said."

Pidgeotto took off. Everyone relaxed until a Gust knocked them off their feet.

Ash glared again, 'I'm taking this battle to the air.'

He looked down at the symbol on his chest and hit it with his forepaw.

.

*Pidgeotto

Pidgeotto looked down at the clearing that the group of Pokémon were in. She saw a flash of green light and tensed; expecting an attack to come shooting at her. She became confused when the light faded, and nothing happened.

Suddenly, something came flying up towards her. It stopped in mid-air in front of her and was revealed to be a braviary. It had the same symbol on its chest that the vaporeon had.

Pidgeotto blushed at seeing the Flying-type, "uh, h-hi."

The braviary glared at her, "So, are we gonna do this or what?"

Pidgeotto's blush deepened, "W-what?"

Ash continued glaring, "You know what. You attacked my team." He looked down to the Pokémon below.

Pidgeotto stopped blushing and followed his gaze, "Wait, those are your friends?!"

Ash looked back at her, "Yeah, and I don't appreciate you ambushing us like that."

Pidgeotto became confused, "Us? I didn't see you down there."

He gestured to the symbol on his chest, "I was the vaporeon."

Pidgeotto fumbled in the air before recovering, "Wait! So, you're actually a ditto?!"

Ash glanced away, "Something like that." He sighed and looked back at the Bird Pokémon, "Look, I'll forgive you for attacking us, if you apologize. To all of us."

Pidgeotto nodded and the pair flew down to the clearing. When they landed, Caterpie was hiding behind Soot and Pikachu was crouched down in a fighting stance. Ash nudged Pidgeotto with a wing.

She put her head down, in a sort-of bow, "I'm sorry for attacking you all. It wasn't right to do that."

Everyone seemed to calm down when they heard her. Caterpie was still unsure and remained behind Soot.

Ash looked over at him with a soft smile, "It's okay Caterpie. She won't hurt you." Ash turned to glare at Pidgeotto, "Right?!"

Pidgeotto nodded begrudgingly, "right."

Caterpie crawled away from his hiding spot and slowly made his way towards the Normal/Flying-types.

"uh, hi." Caterpie said to Pidgeotto; still feeling unsure.

"hi." Pidgeotto replied. She felt awkward to be talking to the Bug-type.

She looked around the group, "So, what's the story with you guys? Are you some kind of weird pack or do you all share a trainer?"

"The second one." Soot responded casually.

"Really?" Pidgeotto asked in surprise before looking around, "Where are they, then?"

Caterpie cocked his head, "What do you mean?" He gestured to Ash, "He's right there."

Pidgeotto stared at the Worm Pokémon in surprise. She then looked over to Ash. He flinched at her gaze and put a wing behind his head sheepishly. She looked over at Soot and Pikachu. They just shrugged.

She stared at Ash again, "What?"

Ash sighed, "This'll take some explaining."

Ash ended up giving her the same explanations he gave Pikachu back home. Both of them.

Pidgeotto stared at Soot then back at Ash, "So, she's actually your hatchling?"

Ash nodded, "Yup."

Pidgeotto considered something before nodding, "Alright, sounds good."

Ash cocked his head, "What?"

Pidgeotto looked at him with a smile, "I'll be joining your team from here on. You need a Flying-type and, I have to admit, it'll be interesting to have a trainer that's stronger than me."

Ash was shocked at hearing that. He looked to the others. They were about the same.

Recovering, he hit the symbol on his chest and became engulfed in green light. It faded to reveal Ash back in his normal state.

Pidgeotto stared for a bit. Being told that a human could turn into Pokémon was a lot different from actually seeing it happen.

Ash pulled out a pokéball, enlarged it, and held it out towards Pidgeotto, "You can still change your mind if you're not comfortable."

Pidgeotto chuckled and tapped the ball with her beak.

.

**Time Skip**

Ash and the others made their way back to the campsite.

Misty was still there and was glaring impatiently, "What took you so long?"

Ash looked up towards the sun, then back at her, "Misty, we were only gone for half-an-hour. That's pretty good, considering we got ambushed."

Misty jumped, "What?! Ambushed?! By who?!"

Ash tossed a pokéball into the air and released Pidgeotto. She landed on his head before Ash smile, "Our new teammate."

"Woah." Misty said in surprise, "You just caught that pidgeotto?"

Ash grinned before he realized something, "Hold on a second."

He rushed over to his backpack, pulled out a fourth bowl and the can of Pokémon food again. He poured a new bowl and set it down.

Ash looked up at the large bird on his head, "All yours girl. It's one of the perks of having a trainer."

Pidgeotto jumped down and happily dug in.

.

**Time Skip**

The group continued on their way through the forest. Pidgeotto and Caterpie had been returned to their pokéballs, Pikachu decided to sunbathe on Soot's back, and Misty was bugging Ash about all the bugs.

"Come on." Misty begged, "Can I please just borrow them?"

Ash pinched the bridge of his nose, "Misty, for the last time, you cannot borrow my gloves."

Misty pouted, "Well, why not? What's the worst that could happen?"

Ash looked back at her, "You catch a small glimpse of a passing weedle and burn down the whole forest."

Misty glared, "I would not! And if your so worried about me messing up, why don't you just use them and play bodyguard or something?"

"Not happening!" Soot called out harshly, "Those things put too much strain on dad."

"Okay, you keep saying that but not what it means." Misty looked at Ash, "Why do they put strain on you?"

Ash groaned as this had been going on for almost an hour. He was about to respond when a round of laughter made everyone stop dead in their tracks. They recognized those voices.

Ash's eyes widened, "You can't be serious."

Misty looked around, "They couldn't have followed us, right?"

Soot growled, "Freaking Arceus."

Pikachu tilted his head, "Where have I heard those voices before?" He asked himself.

Team Rocket jumped down in front of them and started their motto:

"Prepare for trouble!"

"And make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! Dat's right!"

Everyone just groaned at their words. Except for Pikachu.

The Electric-type just stared in shock, "W-what was- what just happened?"

Misty glared at them, "What do you guys want?!"

"Take a guess." James said while pointing at Soot, "We'll be taking that Pikachu and the toughy-anga."

"GET LOST!" Soot shouted.

Jessie followed up, "And this time, we won't fail."

The two of them tossed their pokéballs into the air and released Koffing and Ekans.

Soot and Pikachu ran over and got into their fighting stances while Ash pulled out Pidgeotto's pokéball. And then, for some reason, Misty intervened.

"Ash, wait!" She cried out, "You can't use more than one Pokémon at a time!"

Ash looked at her; stunned, "I'm sorry, what?! You do know they're here to steal our Pokémon, right?!"

"That still doesn't make it right to gang up on them." Misty argued.

James looked over at his team, "Oh, I like her."

Ash ignored him, "Misty, they are here to steal our Pokémon. This isn't a Gym Battle, or a League Battle, or a Contest, or Frontier, or even a random trainer we came across. They are trying to rob us."

Misty still frowned, "Well that still doesn't make it right."

"Thank you!" Jessie shouted.

Ash rubbed his temples as he started feeling a headache, "Fine. Whatever. Pikachu, you're up first."

James smirked, "Not so fast. Koffing, use Sludge!"

Koffing complied and Pikachu and Soot were suddenly hit in the face with the Poison-type attack.

"Ah, my eyes!" Pikachu cried while trying to get rid of the gunk.

"I hate you guys! So much!" Soot growled.

Misty glared at Team Rocket, "Hey, that wasn't fair!"

Ash gave her an annoyed look, "Now do you see what I mean?!" He sighed, "Forget it. Just please take care of Soot and Pikachu for now."

"Dad, I can still fight!" "So can I!"

"Not like that you can't." Ash responded with a glare. He turned to Misty, "I'm trusting you here."

Misty nodded and ran over to the blinded Pokémon. She pulled out a rag and got to work on getting rid of the gunk.

Ash looked back at Team Rocket. He pulled out two pokéballs and tossed them into the air, "Caterpie, Pidgeotto! Enter the fray!"

The two Pokémon emerged and glared at Team Rocket.

Jessie glared, "Hey, we went over this! One Pokémon per trainer!"

"SHUT UP!" Soot shouted with the sludge still in her eyes.

Ash glared, "What she said. Let's get this over with."

James glared, "Koffing, use Sludge!"

Jessie followed, "Ekans, use Dig!"

Ash's eyes narrowed, "Pidgeotto, grab Caterpie and fly."

Pidgeotto complied and flew into the air with Caterpie in her talons. The Sludge missed but Ekans was still underground.

Ash looked up at his Pokémon, "Stay up there for now. Ekans will come up any minute."

Caterpie took this moment to climb up Pidgeotto's leg and get onto her back.

"Hey!" Meowth shouted up at them, "Get back down here yous!"

Caterpie fired a String Shot in Meowth's face. The Scratch Cat freaked and started struggling to get the silk off his face.

Ash blinked in mild surprise, 'nice aim.'

Ekans jumped out of the ground; right where Caterpie was. The snake was shocked to see its target on the back of the Bird Pokémon.

Ash smirked and took advantage, "Pidgeotto, use Quick Attack on Ekans."

The bird nailed the snake.

"Ekans, no!" Jessie cried out in alarm.

James glared at the duo, "Koffing, use Smokescreen!"

"Caterpie, wrap Koffing with String Shot!"

Caterpie hopped off Pidgeotto, fired, and tied up Koffing effortlessly. The Poison Gas Pokémon was unable to attack and plummeted to the ground. Their levitation was cut off … somehow.

James stared at his Pokémon in shock, "Oh no! Koffing!"

Ash smirked, "Caterpie, use String Shot! Wrap them up! Pidgeotto, help him out!"

Pidgeotto grabbed Caterpie again and flew around the rockets and their Pokémon. During this, Caterpie tied them all up with String Shot. By the time they stopped, all five members were bound together in a thick layer of silk.

Ash raised an arm forward, "Pidgeotto, blow them away with Gust!"

That happened too.

Ash and the others watched as the thieves flew off into the distance.

.

*Team Rocket

The trio -or quintet I guess- flew higher and higher into the air. The String Shot had been blown apart by the Gust.

James sighed, "Well, this stinks."

"We were so close this time." Jessie whined.

"Don' worry, we'll jus' try harda next chapta." Meowth commented; not knowing how wrong he was.

They shouted this in unison: "Looks like we're blasting off again!"

.

*Ash and friends

Ash squinted as Team Rocket flew off into the distance. They disappeared with 'ding.'

"Aww, we missed it." Soot whined in annoyance.

Ash turned to look at them and found that Misty had gotten the Sludge out of Soot and Pikachu's eyes. Soot was staring at the disappearing Rockets with a pout.

Ash chuckled and turned back to Pidgeotto and Caterpie, "You two were great out there." Ash said as he petted Pidgeotto. Ash moved to pet Caterpie when he started shooting String Shot out of nowhere.

Ash backed up in alarm, "Caterpie, what's going on?"

The string started to take shape around the Bug-type. A shape that Ash soon recognized, "Caterpie, you're-"

The string hardened and Metapod sat there; looking at Ash in confusion, "What?"

Ash smiled and crouched down to hug the Cocoon Pokémon, "Caterpie, you evolved!"

Soot ran over and stared in shock, "Woah! You actually evolved the same day you joined us." She grinned, "Sweet!"

Misty walked over with Pikachu on her shoulder, "Congratulations Ash."

Ash looked up at her; still smiling, "Thanks."

Pidgeotto sighed at being overshadowed by the now motionless Bug-type.

Ash pulled her into a one-armed hug, "Don't think I've forgotten about your part in the battle. You were really impressive out there. I'm proud of you."

Pidgeotto perked up and nuzzled up against Ash. The image of Ash in braviary form flashed through her head, causing her to turn away and blush.

Soot noticed her reaction and grinned, 'oh, this'll be good.'

After that mess, Pidgeotto and the newly evolved Metapod returned to their pokéballs. Everyone continued their journey through Viridian Forest.

.

**Time Skip**

The group traveled until the sun started setting. They decided to set up camp for the night.

Ash laid out his sleeping bag, "Alright, I'll go find us some firewood."

Misty stepped in front of him, "Hold on. You've been the one doing everything lately. I'll take care of the firewood and you relax. You've more than earned it."

Ash blinked but shrugged and sat down next to where they planned to set up the fire. He decided not to argue. Misty nodded with smile and went off into the woods.

She came back three seconds later, "Hey, can someone come with me. Y'know, bugs." She shivered after saying that last part.

Soot got up, stretched, and followed her.

.

*Misty and Soot; later

They had already gotten a decent amount of wood. Before heading back, Soot came up with the idea to gather some fruit. So, they were doing that now.

Soot poked her head out of the tree she was in and looked down at Misty, "Hey, how does Aspear sound?"

Misty looked down at the woven basket on the ground. They had already collected Sitrus berries, Pecha berries, and a few apples. Misty looked back up at Soot, "Maybe just a couple. The basket's almost full."

Soot nodded and disappeared into the tree again.

Misty smiled; they'll be set for a whole week at this rate. Misty froze when she heard the bush behind her rustling.

Fearing it was a bug, she turned around slowly, "h-hello?"

Instead of a gross bug, a small man covered in weird armor jumped out of the bush; wielding a sword.

He landed in front of Misty and pointed the sword right in her face, "You there. Would you happen to be a trainer from Pallet Town?"

Misty stared at the sword in her face frightenedly, "N-no."

The stranger sighed and sheathed their sword, "Alas, my search continues."

He walked away before Misty could say anything else.

Soot jumped down from the tree, carrying a smallish branch with a few berries attached. This made Misty jump; still on edge from the crazy guy with the sword.

Soot blinked in surprise and put down the branch, "Are you okay?"

Misty smiled nervously, "Yeah, kind of. This weird guy just jumped out of a bush and pointed a sword in my face. He asked if I was from Pallet Town."

Soot blinked, "As in the town dad and I are from." She stated matter-of-factly

Misty's eyes widened in realization, "Oh, crag! He's after Ash!" Misty ran off; back towards the campsite.

Soot sighed, scraped the Aspear berries into the basket, picked it up by the handle, lifted the firewood onto her back, and ran after Misty.

They made it back to the campsite and saw something … well, unexpected. To one of them, at least.

The sword-boy was there, like Misty feared, but instead of him threatening Ash, he was on his back with his sword skewering a tree. Ash just stood over him.

He noticed the girls returning and smiled, "Hey, your back. How'd it go?"

Soot put down the basket and smiled, "Pretty good. We got enough firewood to spare and then decided to pick some berries."

Ash nodded, "Good idea. That'll help in the long run."

Misty stared at the downed sword fighter, "Wait a second. What happened here?"

Ash looked down at the man, "Oh, him? He jumped out of nowhere and pointed a sword at me. So, I kicked him in the gut and threw his blade into that tree." Ash said while pointing to the weapon.

Ash moved over to pick up the firewood off Soot's back, "Alright, I'll set up the campfire. You can tie him up if you want, Misty."

Misty just blinked in shock. She wasn't sure how to respond to that.

With the firewood propped up, Ash pulled on his red gloves again. Although, technically, it was just the right one this time.

Soot glared at him, "Daaaad."

Ash chuckled, "Calm down, Soot. I'm only using it as a lighter."

Ash snapped and a small flame lit his thumb, "See?"

He moved over to the wood and ignited the pile quickly. Satisfied, Ash shook away the flame and removed the glove before shoving it back into his backpack.

"There." Ash said, "No problem, I only used a few drops."

Soot sighed, "Fine. Still doesn't mean I have to like them."

Misty finished tying the crazy guy to a tree and joined the others at the campfire, "Nice work with the fire."

Ash smiled, "Thanks." He handed a stick to Misty, "How do berry kabobs sound?"

Misty accepted the stick with a smile, "Pretty good. We definitely have enough."

He was about to offer a stick to Pikachu when he noticed the mouse was already half-way through a Pecha berry.

Ash chuckled and released his other Pokémon to let them join in.

Sword-boy was still knocked out and tied up.
