     It was a beautiful cheery morning on lovely Route 14.
     "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FOOD'S ALL GONE?!" Misty screamed at Ash.
     "Hey Misty, don't yell at me. It was your Psyduck that raided our packs last
night!" said Ash.
     Psyduck sat over leaning against a bush, his stomach feeling quite uncomfortable.
He felt hungry sitting in his pokeball, so he jumped out to find everyone asleep. He was
hungry, so he just helped himself first to Brock's special food, then to The snacks, and
before he knew it, he had raided everyone's packs and now his stomach looked like a
Snoralax's.
     "Pikachu pika-pi-kachu (Psyduck! You idiot!)" squeaked Pikachu. Obviously
mad because he really liked the pokemon food that Brock makes, but now it was gone.
     "Now what will we do for food? There isn't anything around and I think we're
lost." exclaimed Misty.
     "Guys, guys, just because we're out of food doesn't mean that we can't find
someone who has food." Brock reasoned.
     By now, Misty had calmed down a little and the redness was disappearing from
her face. Pikachu grabbed Psyduck's ball and returned Psyduck inside it. Then, tossing it
in Misty's bag, he jumped on Ash's head. Humans may not have been peaceful like
pokemon, but they were always good for a free ride, plus Ash didn't mind because
Pikachu only weighed a little bit.
     "Pi-ka-pi-ka-chu (let's move guy's, I'm starved!)"
     "Okay Pikachu, let's get going." said Ash.
     They started off into some tall grass and Pikachu directed them from his perch
like and army drill sergeant.
     "Pi-pi-pi-ka-pi...(left, left, left, right, left)"
     They marched to Pikachu's tune, although Ash was the only one who could
understand the language. They chatted and talked about how they would have to see if
they could train Psyduck at a gym to slim him down some. Pikachu had been listening
for about an hour when he finally dozed off, still clinging to Ash's official Pokemon
league hat. They finally came to the path from Ash's "shortcut" which means, they were
no longer lost. That's when they saw a new sight. A boy, about 15 years old, was
walking along the path wearing a red pokemon league jacket just like Ash's except for the
color, and a brand new pokemon league hat. His hat was blue and had a pokeball on it
with the L in the background. He was also wearing some slightly baggy jeans and to top
it all off, he had a cute-looking sandslash hopping along behind him.
     "Hi! Could you tell us if there's someplace we could get some food around here?"
shouted Misty.
     The Boy looked up, revealing his face from under the brim of his cap. He was
really kinda' cute for a 15-year-old Misty thought. He had light blue eyes and light brown
hair, which was kind of bushy but not curly.
     "Huh?" he said, "Oh yea, um, there's a small ma and pop store just up the road,
they have burgers and stuff." "I'm going there now if you guys want to join me, Me and
Killer Jr. have been pretty bored with no one else to talk to."
     "Thanks," said Brock, finally getting to meet someone his own age for the fist
time since they left that boy's gym way back near Route 4. "That sounds great."
     "Yea," replied Ash, "But who's Killer Jr.?"
     "He's my Sandslash, I caught him as a Sandshrew when I was just a beginner, now
he's my best bud!"
     "Wow, he looks strong, what do you feed him?" asked Brock.
     "I eat what I can get, but ol' Killer here eats mostly homemade meat and vegetable
sandwiches." Said the stranger. "It's great for power and growth."
     "San-sandslash-sand (Hi, how's it going?)" Killer Jr. said to Pikachu who was
now just waking up at the commotion.
     "Pi-pika-pi-pikachu-chu (Good, my name is Pikachu, nice to meet you)."
     "Slash (likewise)."
     "By the way, what's your name?" asked Misty.
     "My name's Austin, Austin Riccochet, what about you guys?" said the boy.
     "My name's Misty, and this is Ash, Brock, and Pikachu." answered Misty.
     "Nice to meet you, now let's get going before it gets dark." Said Austin.
     They all started walking in union, which reminded Austin of something out of the
Wizard of Oz. They explained what happened to their food and Austin giggled a little at
the thought of a Psyduck with ten pounds of food in him. They arrived at the store just as
the sun was setting.
     "Phew, what a workout." said Austin, who was just barley breaking a sweat.
     The others practically crawled into the shop, half starved and ready for a nap.
Pikachu was the only well-rested one of the bunch thanks to a ride on the Ash Katchem
Express, his name for riding on Ash's head. Ash pulled out his pokedex and pointed it at
Killer Jr. The mechanical voice sprang to life and started it's definition.
     "SANDSLASH, a mouse pokemon." "SANDSLASH curls up into a ball when
threatened. It can roll while curled up to attack or escape."
     "Oh," said Ash, "that doesn't tell us much."
     "Well," said Austin, "Killer here can also dig really deep, it can cause some major
earthquakes and also cut almost anything with it's talons."
     "Wow," said Ash. "That's pretty impressive, how'd you catch him?"
     "I didn't, he followed me actually, I named him after Killer, my Dad's sandslash,
because that's who did most of the training."
     After eating, they left the building and Ash, Misty, and Brock were about to say
good-bye to their new friend, when an all too familiar sound caught their ears.
     "Prepare for trouble!"
     "Yes! 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!"
     Just then Meowth jumped up and hit them on the head! "Will you two cut it out!
They know the rhyme already and you're giving me a splitting headache."
     "Shut up Meowth before we have to attack you ourselves!" the two said in union.
     "Eh-hem, Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light." they continued.
     "Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
     "Meeowth! We're done and their gone now are you happy?" Meowth screamed.
It was true, the four kids were now about a mile down the road carrying on like it
was nothing unusual.
     "So, friends of yours?" asked Austin.
     "That was the "notorious Team Rock-head." Ash joked. "They always try to steal
Pikachu, but they always get clobbered."
     "Yea, but you gotta' give them credit for determination." said Brock. "Any
normal person would have moved on instead of holding a grudge with three kids."
     Then a new voice got their attention.
     "Austin! Wait up!"
     It was a small boy, about 9-years old, wearing a jacket similar to Ash and
Austin's, but it was a bluish color like Ash's. He wore the same type of hat Ash wore, and
a pair of jeans which looked about 5 sizes too big for him.
     "Sorry I'm late." the little boy said, "who are your friends?"
     "Meet, my little brother." Austin said, obviously a tad annoyed and relieved at the
same time. "He got lost on the way here. I was looking for him when you showed up.
He can be a pain, but he's got a talent with pokemon."
     "What's you name little boy?" asked Misty sweetly.
     "I'm NOT little, I'm Coolma Riccochet, a pokemon league champion!" yelled the boy.
I've got all 8 badges and an official junior championship trophy!"
     "All 8 badges?" said Ash in amazement.
     "Don't be surprised," said Austin, "It's just a junior competition, it lasts one
summer, it's like a camp."
     Austin showed them the so-called badges which were fabric and sewed on to his
coat.
     "That kid has 8 badges?" complained James form his hiding place in the bushes,
    "We don't even have one."
     "Shut up you, before they hear us." hissed Meowth.
     "Who cares if they hear us, we're robbing them anyway!" yelled Jessie. "Arobok
go!" As Jessie's cobra-like pokemon sprang form it's ball.
     "Go Weezing!" yelled James.
     The gang was caught off guard and fell as Arbok swept them off their feet and
Weezing dropped on them, rendering all of them crushed and helpless. Arbok coiled
around Pikachu and stunned it with a quick bite. Coolma, though, managed to wiggle
free and release his pokemon.
     "Goooooo Clefable!"
     The pink pokemon popped out and dived at Arbok and took it to the ground,
releasing Pikachu.
     "Mega Punch NOW!!"
     Clefable reared back and let loose on Arbok, knocking it into a tree and knocking
it unconscious!
     "Weezing sludge attack now!" James shouted.
     Weezing exhaled and shot toxic sludge at Clefable. Clefable dodged and drop-
kicked Weezing just enough to let Austin free. Pikachu was just barely conscious and
lying helpless, he wouldn't be much help. Weezing breathed out a cloud of knockout gas
which made Clefable pass out and Coolma fainted.
     "NO ONE MESSES WITH MY LITTLE BRO.!!" screamed Austin in a rage.
    "Killer Jr., take care of these jerks! EARTHQUAKE!!"
     "SAND-SSSSSSSSSSSSLASH! (TIME TO PAY PUNK!)"
     Killer Jr. curled up and spun into a blur, shredding the ground and splitting the
rock all the way beneath the Earth's crust and striking the fault line! The earth shook
hard, knocking Jessie, James, and Meowth on their rear-ends. Wheezing just hovered
over everyone to avoid the attack.
     "Oops, Killer Jr. stop, and slash attack!"
     Killer shot up through the ground and landed on his feet.
     "SSSSSSSSSSSSLASH!"
     He rushed at the floating gas pokemon, who was at the verge of passing out from
amazement anyway. Killer Jr. shredded it's chest and gave it a final head-butt to knock it
into James.
     "MEEEOWTH! I'll take care of this! That girl still has my Togepy!"
     Meowth launched at Killer Jr.
     "Dig attack now Killer Jr.!"
     Killer Jr. dove into the ground and disappeared.
     "Coward!" screamed Meowth.
     Then Killer Jr. flew out of the ground right under Meowth and sent him into the
sky, but not in any direction, just straight up. He came crashing to the ground and
immediately saw stars. Then Arbok regained conciseness and joined Jessie and James,
who now had a quite a large gun now pointed at Ash and the gang still getting second
wind from Weezing's tackle.
     "NOOO! Killer Jr. STOP THEM!" Austin screamed, getting a little hoarse from
the yelling. "FISSURE NOW!"
     Killer Jr., startled at the violent attack growled. "Sannnn-slash. (Nice, a golden
opportunity to show them who's boss."
     He dove once more into the ground and this time, he rocketed straight under
Team Rocket then straight down! He was determined to save his friends and was digging
almost at light speed straight through the Earth's crust and caused a huge earthquake,
knocking over trees and causing an avalanche.
     Suddenly, a huge crack started to form under the fainted Weezing and Meowth,
and stretched under Jessie, James, and Arbok.
     "Looks like Team Rocket.." James started. As the crack suddenly split into a
deep crater, then erupting with lava and blasting them all miles above the Earth.
     "Is blasting off againnnnnn..." as they all disappeared into the distance.
     But the problem wasn't over, Killer Jr. dove up and channeled the lava away from
his friends and into a lake, keeping just a few feet in front of the rushing lava all the way.
It wasn't the lava that scared him though, it was the water! Killer Jr. was a ground
pokemon and extremely vulnerable to water. He shot into the lake and out of the water,
landing out of breath, and dog-tired on the shore.
     Austin, Ash, Misty, Brock, Coolma, and Pikachu found him a little while later.
Brock sprayed him with some super potion.
     "That otta' hold his until we can get him to Nurse Joy at the pokemon center in
Fuchsia city." Brock said in relief.
     "Austin, Coolma would you two like to join us for a little while?" asked Misty.
     "Sure, Misty, thanks." said Austin.
--> And as we leave our heroes and their new-found friends, we can say that this
has been a very educational experience, but for Team Rocket, that can be dangerous...
     ..."That's it James!" said Jessie, "I'm tired of going after that stupid Pikachu, let's
go after that earthquake machine, that'll make the boss happy."
     "Yea, and I've got a score to settle with that jerk." said Meowth, rubbing his head.
     "And," said James, "We could rob some serious banks with that little squirt."
Jessie, James and Meowth laughed and started their plan.
