Both Pokémon Trainers and Rocket Members, as well as Officer Jenny were shocked at the huge number of different Pokémon who had suddenly joined the fight. Some members of Team Rocket surrendered and left the building, but many more stayed and got ready to fight. Then Pidgey heard a familiar voice…

"To Protect the world from devastation!" It was Jessie! Followed by James, they continued their motto, and soon Meowth joined them too. "Wow! We arrived just in time! Look at all those Pokémon here for the taking," James shouted gleefully. "It’s a good thing we brought some Ultra Balls!" Jessie agreed. And they sent out Arbok and Weezing to battle, of course. But to everyone’s surprise they sent out two more Pokémon! "Huh?" Spearow whispered.

"Slowww. Slowpoke slow," the first one said. The second said "Grimer, Grimer!" Mew couldn’t help but laugh. Dratini slammed into Slowpoke before he could make a move, and it took the Slowpoke ten long seconds to react and moan in pain. Jessie was angered at this, and she ordered the dopey creature to attack. "Slowpoke, Confusion!" she screamed. It just stood there for five seconds, then finally it responded and attacked.

But by then, all of the Pokémon had jumped out of the way. "Slow?" it wondered after another five seconds. Tons of people who were scared before started laughing. Jessie was quite embarrassed, but luckily James told his Weezing to use Smog. Smoke and gas spouted from its sides until the whole room was clouded and dark. No one could see! Then Team Rocket went to work. There were many surprised screams and some fighting could be heard, but Team Rocket did not fail this time. Pidgey, in an effort to do something, beat his wings rapidly and stated up a whirlwind, blowing the smog away. Now they saw what had happened. All the people were tied up, and most of the Pokémon were too. "Meowwwth! The Boss’ll know we’ve finally done something right this time!" Meowth laughed. The People screamed, threatened, and swore, but Team Rocket just laughed. Some Junior Trainers shouted with despair as Arbok, Slowpoke, Grimer, and Weezing beat up the few Pokémon they had. Pidgey, Bellsprout, Mew, Spearow, and Dratini were hiding, hoping not to get noticed. But then Slowpoke came to beat up the Growlithe. It used confusion, and Growlithe was hurled back and forth by an invisible force. "Groooowwwwll!" he howled horribly.

"Grimer, finish it!" James said. "Grime!" it said, and both Slowpoke and Grimer can to attack. But……..

"MEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!" Mew shrieked triumphantly as she crashed into Slowpoke like a blaze of fire. Slowpoke balanced on one foot for a second, then collapsed on its back. Then Mew used her Psychic attack to tack control of Grimer’s body and made it poison itself. "Griiimmeer," it choked as it slowly fainted. "NO!" James cried, and soon Spearow beat up Weezing, and Dratini easily knocked out Arbok. "RRRRRR! Arbok, Slowpoke return!" Jessie said as she held out two Pokéballs. James did the same. "You stupid Mew! We’ll capture you," Meowth hissed as he stepped up to fight.

But he soon found himself surrounded by the few Pokémon who weren’t trapped: Mew, Pidgey, Growlithe, Dratini, Bellsprout, and Spearow. All with fury in their eyes. "Hey this ain’t fair! I’m totally outnumbered! You can’t expect me to defeat everyone, can you?" Meowth complained. Jessie hit him on the head. "Who cares? Atleast try!" Meowth, not wanting to get beat up by Jessie and James, agreed and started fighting. Spearow attacked first, and while he was still doing a fury attack, Dratini attempted a Hyper Beam. "YYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" Meowth shouted as he barely jumped out of the way. But Spearow, who had fallen off of him got hit by the beam instead and was out of the battle immediately. Dratini had waisted a lot of energy, and was too tired to notice what she had done. Seeing this, Meowth jumped in front of her and used Fury Swipes. "STOP." Pidgey knocked him out of the way. "Hey, you’ll pay for that!" Meowth threatened.

He bit Pidgey on his left wing, but Pidgey (after screaming) pecked at him between the eyes. Meowth let go, and tried Fury Swipes. Pidgey shrieked and started bleeding. He started up a gust and blinded Meowth. "Help, I can’t see!" "Huh...?" James worried. Then Pidgey dive bombed him and Meowth fainted too. He fell flat on his face.

"Too bad," said some other Rocket Members. Jessie and James were surprised as they dashed in front, knocking them out of the way. "We’ll just have to capture you!" They laughed. "Ultra Ball, go!" the female said. It landed infront of Spearow who was too weak to move, but could only show an expression of horror. The ball starting opening up, but all of a sudden- "CUBOOOONNEE!" a Cubone leaped infront of Spearow and smacked the ball away with his bone club! "Bone!" he scolded as the ball hit her in the face. They were quite angered at this and decided to battle the Cubone with their Pokémon so it would be too weak to fight. Out came their strongest two Pokémon: Hitmonchan and Scyther. Cubone went first by clubbing both enemies with the bone he held. Hitmonchan punched Cubone repeatedly on the face, but the Skull helmet was the only thing that took the damage. "Ha ha!" Cubone laughed as he leered back. "Monchan..." Hitmonchan said as it suddenly felt very dizzy.

Bellsprout and Growlithe joined in, holding the enemies down. But Scyther, in a rage, whirled its blades around and everyone, including its trainer, scattered out of the way. Its first arm made a gash in the male Rocket’s clothing, the second sliced part of a wall which began to collapse. "Run! Growwwwl!" Growlithe screamed. The people who couldn’t move screamed as the wall crashed inches away from them. "Up the stairs! Hide!" Bellsprout ordered. "Spread out!" Dratini added. All six Pokémon hide behind chairs, tables, coats, whatever they could find. "Try not to make your breathing so obvious," Bellsprout whispered to Spearow. Then the lights flickered off. All of them. Cubone and Dratini gasped in surprise.

"The power’s out. Its because of the thunder storm," Mew said. Growlithe’s tail partially lit the room. The top floor, or the attack was awfully quiet. Only now could Growlithe, Bellsprout, Spearow, Dratini, Mew, Cubone, and Pidgey hear the rain outside. "Where’s team rocket?" Spearow asked after Mew had partially healed him. "just because you can’t see ‘em and ya can’t hear ‘em and you can’t smell ‘em doesn’t mean they aren’t here. Team Rocket may try a sneak attack," Cubone cautioned. Then the Pokémon heard the door swing open. Immediately they fell silent and none moved a muscle. Six Rockets stomped into the room. "They have to be here! Were else could they be?" James argued with another who grumbled as he ran back down the stairs. Soon Teaom Rocket sent out their Pokémon: Pinsir, Magmar, Fearow, Arbok, and Grimer (The last two are owned by Jessie and James.) "Now, all of you; Find those Pokémon! They can’t hide from us for long!" someone commanded. "Grimerrr." "Pinnnssser!" "MagMAR!" "Feeeaaaarroww!" "CHAAAARRRRbok!" then another! "Vulpix!" it said. The Vulpix glanced around, yawned, and went to sleep. Its trainer fell flat on his face from embarrassment. Cubone tried not to laugh.

Grimer wasn’t very good at tracking, and its long trail eventually led it right back to his trainer. The Grimer sighed and sunk into itself, flattening out like a melting ice cube on the floor until its face and hands couldn’t be seen. Magmar wasn’t all that good either. It walked right past the shelf Dratini was crouching behind! But Pinsir was inspecting the closet Bellsprout had hid in. Bellsprout didn’t dare move. It took a few slow breaths, watching the Pinsir coming ever closer to where it hid. Suddenly, Pinsir yanked away the coat that had been infront of Bellsprout! "I have you now!" it laughed. Bellsprout would have screamed in panic, but Pinsir gave it a punch, knocking the wind out of it. Then He grabbed it with his large claws or pinchers or whatever you’d like to called them, and slowly crushed it. Bellsprout fought frantically but could not escape. The uh…pincers were getting tighter and tighter, and the pain it felt was almost unbearable. Then it knew what to do. Bellsprout stuck its oddly shaped head infront of Pinsir’s face, and spat some blue Acid from its mouth! The acid hit the Pinsir right where it hurt worst: the eyes!

"YAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!! Gaaaa!!! No!" it screamed and stumbling blindly out of the room, but fell over before it could get back to tell Team Rocket. Bellsprout was quite relieved and rather confident as well, and could have sworn it had grown a level. Thankfully this closet was in another room that was just out of hearing range for Team Rocket, so they hadn’t known what had happened. They did however notice when Pinsir fell forward in front of them, trying desperately to wipe the acid from its eyes.

Arbok and Fearow were good seekers though, and soon Arbok had spotted Dratini! Before she could make a move, everyone ran over, and the Arbok’s trainer grabbed Dratini by the neck. "Haha! We’ve got you! Now tell us where the others are!" Dratini didn’t move. "I said, tell us where they are, or I’ll squeeze you to death!" he threatened. Dratini did something quite unexpected. Instead of trembling or fighting, she jumped up and bit the member of Team Rocket on the nose. Hard.

"AAAAAAH! Get this evil creep off ‘o me!" he shreiked as he pried at his nose. Dratini let go before he could catch her and yelled for the others to run. They didn’t hesitate. Mew, Cubone, Dratini, Pidgey, Bellsprout, Spearow, and Growlithe barreled down the stairs, onto the lower floor, past the hostage people and Pokémon, down another floor, passing more hostages, and finally stopped, exhausted in the basement. The cellar was very dark and somewhat cold. The group paused to rest. "Team Rocket just won’t give up!" Growlithe complained as he lied down on the floor. "I had a near death experience with the Pinsir who tried to chop me in half, but my Acid saved the day. I nailed him right in the eyes," Bellsprout laughed. "good for you," Dratini said pleasantly. Then, footsteps! CLOMP CLOMP CLOMP! One single Rocket member came down the stairs. They all went silent. Again, all seven of them hid. This particular person had dark brown hair that was cut pretty short, and it looked quite messy and ignored. The bangs were long and drooped in front of his eyes. The hair also looked uneven and poorly trimmed. But what did he care? Team Rocket didn’t waist their time fixing their hair or tying their shoes. But of course, it seemed they hardly had time to do things like this anyway.

He began looking around the cellar, checking to see if the Pokémon were down there. He walked and inspected slowly, as if to let their fear build up. Slowly, carefully, he inspected almost every little place there was to check. Fortunately he hadn’t come near any of the Pokémon yet. He was getting rather frustrated, and by now he would have gave up, but just then he thought he saw a strange shadow on the wall. Suddenly a stream of light hit the shadow. The man had turned on a flashlight!

"noooo," Mew whispered, for he had seen the shadow of Cubone’s skull helmet. Cubone was terrified now and didn’t make a move. But the flashlight followed the shadow back to its source, and finally the light was right on Cubone!

Cubone stared, screamed, panicked, and tumbled off an ancient coat hanger. His Bone landed a few feet in front of him. Before Cubone could snatch it, the guy grabbed it and started waving it in front of his face like a chew-toy.

"Too bad, Cubone. Looks like you’re almost helpless without your Bone to hit me with. And why do you wear those stupid Skull Helmets?" he taunted. He reached out a finger and flicked it at the cubone’s head hard, and the Skull Helmet began whirling in circles like mad. "CUUUUU!! Bone-bone-bone-bone-bone-bone..." he wailed as he tried to stop it from moving. As you could imagine, everyone was very mad about this. They jumped down to stop him. They all growled and hissed and threatened.

"Ha! Well, looks like you all surrendered and decided to expose your puny selves! But ya know what? I don’t think I’ll destroy you, I think I’ll capture you!" he laughed. He sent out a Gloom, who spewed some poison gas which pretty much left Mew, Pidgey, Dratini, Spearow, Cubone, and Growlithe paralized. Then, he threw an Ultra ball. It captured Spearow! He threw another, which captured Growlithe. Yet another and he had Dratini. He threw another Ultra ball which sucked up Cubone. And one more, which, despite his furious struggle, had captured Pidgey! Mew was horrified, but there was nothing she could do! She couldn’t move!

"And now I guess I’ll just have to capture you too, since you’re the strongest of all!" he laughed. With that, he threw an Ultra ball. It bounced once, twice, opened and sucked her in. "Yeah..."

Mew reformed outside the PokéBall looking very angry. Then the man laughed, reached in his jacket, and threw a Master Ball. It landed right in front of her and she was transferred inside before she knew what to do. She punched, kicked, struggled, even used her psychic powers, but it was hopeless. They all had been captured! And they definitely knew that this would be their end. Of freedom, at least. They could still hear the man laughing and taunting them in the PokéBalls. No set of words can describe how awful, scared, enraged, and hopeless they felt. The strange guy was about to go up to the main floor, but suddenly he heard a pounding on the door.

"Huh...? Who’s there?!" he called, but there was no answer. The knocking continued. Who could it be? Maybe it was just another Rocket wondering what was taking him so long. Ha, he’d be glad to show them. Then, in the corner of his eye he saw something moving forward. He whirled his head around, but the creature disappeared. He was starting to get scared, but he didn’t know where to go. A shadow moved along the wall, coming towards him. But what was it? The man was shaking with fear and his bangs slid down in front of his eyes. He brushed them away. Suddenly, the shadow leaped across the wall! And the creature jumped and landed inches to touching his face. It was Bellsprout! His eyes blazed with hate and rage.

"Sprout!! Bellll bellsprout, sprout! Sprout Sprout!! (or ‘Alright, you’ve passed the line! Now you’ll pay! Nobody messes with my friends!!!’)" it screamed. Then it sprayed acid in his eyes, blinding him. "AARRRRGGGHHHHH!!" he shouted and fell back in pain. Hundreds of leaves starting shooting out of Bellsprout’s "mouth" and cut him until he bled. Then it made some awful Poison powder, poisoning that freak. It used Vine Whip (the vines also shot out of its mouth) and tied him up. "NO! Please, stop! Have mercy! You can have these Pokémon all back!" he cried, knocking the PokéBalls from his belt. Bellsprout spread some Sleep Powder, and finally the Rocket was fast asleep. Bellsprout was greatly relieved and felt like a hero.

"Tsk. Tsk. Hopefully he’ll have nightmares," Bellsprout said as it struggled to carry all the PokéBalls. But they were too heavy and it fell on its back and the Balls rolled around on the floor. "Hmmmph. No wonder We Bellsprouts can’t learn Strength. I can’t even lift some PokéBalls!" It decided finally after faling head first four times to just call them out. Bellsprout threw the Balls quickly, one after the other, and out popped his friends. Dratini was first. Cubone second. Then Pidgey. Mew. Growlithe. Spearow. But there was one more!

"Woah, thanx buddy!!! I can’t believe you beat that guy up! I’m impressed!" Spearow crowed. "What a relief. I thought I’d never get out of here," Mew said. "We should call you Killer!" Pidgey said excitedly. "Really?" Bellsprout asked. "Sure. You earned it," said the Growlithe. Spearow turned and looked at Growlithe and Cubone inquisitively. "So, are you two gonna go your own way or are ya gonna join our ‘Tea Party?’" he asked. Growlithe thought for a moment. "Well, I don’t have much else to do in my live. And I would like to live with a few friendly Pokémon. Sure, I guess I’ll join!" Spearow pretended to write something on and imaginary notepad. "Okay, that’s member 6 of da ‘Let’s get ourselves in world war 3 ‘cause its fun’ club. The occupations are filling up fast. Only a few spaces left!" Spearow joked. "...and Cubone?" "Well, I have always been quite adventuresome and I know an awful lot about Team Rocket," Cubone said happily. "I’ll volunteer for the Rocket info job!" he added and winked. "I’m guessing Spearow and Cubone will get along pretty well," said Pidgey. They would have continued their chatter, but Bellsprout, errr Killer interrupted.

"Helloooooo!? Sorry to break up the pep talk, but has anyone noticed the sixth PokéBall here? And has anyone wondered maybe what’s in it," it said, for it was perfectly obvious. They all stopped and stared. "Should we open it?" Mew wondered. "Go for it!" Growlithe said. Mew nervously picked up the ball, turned, and threw it. She backed up as it slowly opened. The Pokémon materialized in front of them. "Yes, I’m free! Free free free FRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! YAHOO!" she screamed. It was a Vaporeon! Just then she noticed the other bug-eyed Pokémon staring at her as if she were insane. She got kind of imbarrassed. "Oh, uh sorry. I, heh heh, haven’t ever been able to move since I was first captured by Team Rocket. They never let me out of my PokéBall, for fear that I would run away. "And now’s your chance!" cheered Cubone. "You have a most impressive appearance," Dratini quietly complemented. "Thank you," Vaporeon said.

They would have started chating again, but then the Team Rocket dude got up again. "Hey! That’s my Vaporeon! You jerks! I’ll kill you!" he shrieked when he saw them. The Pokémon jumped in surprise and he started charging toward them. He grabbed Growlithe and Killer by their necks. He punched Spearow in the back. The rest he chased all around the basement.

"Great! What are we going to do?" Dratini wondered as she dodged the man’s flailing hands. "Stop and watch him trip over us, I guess," Cubone said. Then the strange knocking started once more

At this moment the guy reached his hands out and yanked Cubone by the tail. "EEEEEEEE!!!" Cubone wailed, but luckily he knew what to do. He gave him a club on the head with his bone, and hopped aside. The man fell over limply and the Pokémon for a fleeting moment thought he’d stay that way, but then he got up with a gun which he drew from his pocket! "Ha, I’ll get you fools this time!" he roared, and he started firing at them. "EEEEEEEKK!" Mew screamed as a bullet whizzed past her nose. "GEEEEEYYY!" Pidgey squawked as another bullet hit him in the tail and several tail feathers fell off.

Suddenly the door was torn to pieces which fell down in the cellar and someone came storming down the stairs. Everyone heard her call; "RAAAAIICHU! RAI!" Raichu leapt into the air, did a flip to show off, and landed on the Rocket Member’s head. "What? Get off of me you stupid Rat!" he cried. Raichu only laughed. "RAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII…" She said. Cubone stared. Sparks of lightning blazed from her cheeks. For a moment no one said or did anything. As if all time had stopped. Then time started up again, with a BANG. "…CHUUUUUU!" Raichu finished and sent millions of lightning jolts through the evil man’s body. He made a horrible cry that cannot be described. At last, Raichu stopped and the man fell on his face; dazed, his eyes spinning, his tongue hanging out, his weapon dropped. "Ha!" Raichu said as she did a little victory dance. It was then when she glanced over at the other Pokémon she had helped. All of them were gasping and wheezing on the floor except for Vaporeon, who hadn’t been fired at. Pidgey started first. "Hey, who are you?" he asked. Raichu looked like she was in a hurry. "Look, We’ll talk later. I just freed all the People and Pokémon, and now All of Team Rocket is going to be chasing us like mad in a moment. Hurry, I’ll lead you all out of here."

Slowly the tired group got up. Raichu insisted that they’d have to hurry up. They followed Raichu up a stairway, into a small room, down another stairway, and out a door which she unlocked with her strangely shaped tail first. No sooner had they all stepped out of the doorway, they heard hundreds of footsteps stomping down the stairs. "RUN!! Hide!" she commanded. They didn’t hesitate one bit. Mew, Pidgey, Spearow, Killer, Dratini, Growlithe, Raichu, Cubone, and Vaporeon all ran or flew out the door as fast as they could. They all searched for hiding spots, for they could hear Team Rocket thundering not too behind. Vaporeon leapt into a river that was just deep enough for her and remained still as a statue.

Killer and Spearow hid in the tall grass and ducked out of sight. Pidgey landed by a colony of other Pidgeys and tried to blend in and went completely unnoticed. Dratini and Growlithe dashed into a cluster of bushes. Mew used her powers to become invisible. But Raichu still remained. "Oh no!"

Team Rocket had spotted her now, and there was no way to run and hid; they were just too close. "Ultra ball, go!" some Rockets yelled as they threw balls which Raichu dodged. Then some of them swung nets around. Raichu tried to run, but a large net swooped right in front of her and scooped her up. "Ha Ha Ha! We have you know!" some freak laughed. The others panicked. They couldn’t do anything! Team Rocket was running back with their prize, but it seemed that Raichu had her own idea.

"Raiiiiiiii-CHU!" she screamed as she electrocuted all of them. When she finished, every Rocket was stiff and blackened like charcoal and fell over in a heap after a couple seconds of hanging, paralyzed like statues. They were out like lights. "HAHAHA!!! Dat was funny!" Spearow cawed as he rose from his hiding spot. "You will be helpful to us," Vapereon said, snickering. "ARGH! I’m sorry, but I can’t stand this awful rain! We have to go somewhere dry for the night!" Pidgey complained as he shoved his way past the other birds. Mew reformed at that same instant. "I agree. I hate the rain, and that is no surprise cause I’m a fire Pokémon, right?" Growlithe agreed. Killer joined in. "So, is my name gonna be Killer?" it asked. "Uh, okay," Mew said.

The group began to approach a huge forest full of ferns, trees, soggy leaves, and bored restless Pokémon here and there. "man, this stinks," Spearow muttered. "I could be home at Viridian forest now, playing with the other Spearows and beating up on Metapod. And you could be there with me, but no! I have ta follow all da other Pokécritters to safety and shelter! Not like there is any in this soggy ol forest!" Dratini shook her head and sighed. Cubone stepped in. "Oh shut up. Be lucky you’ve ever felt safe and care free in your life! Me, I don’t have no life! It’s been spent entirely running in fear that my head will be blasted off." Spearow stopped talking and looked down at the ground. Just then Mew came hopping over to the depressed and restless wanderers.

"Hey, have you seen Bellsp- errr Killer yet? I sent him to fly above and look for shelter!" she said as she sprang to them on her rabbit like feet. "F-fly?!?!?" Vaporeon wondered. "You must be kidding!" "Well, you see, his leaf like arms can be flapped quickly much like wings, and I decided to do him a favor by teaching him an HM..." Mew explained. Spearow, Vaporeon, and Dratini’s jaws dropped in disbelief.

Then came a loud familiar voice from high above the trees. "Hello all of you! It’s me, Killer! I’m FLYING! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Who would have guessed?! Uh, I-I found a big hollow tree over this way, I’ll show you!" Killer called from above. "Well would ya look at that? A flying Bellsprout! What are the odds?" Spearow said under his breath as he gazed, fascinated at the shrimpy yet powerful creature whose leaves were whirring through the air like the top of a helicopter. Growlithe bounded after Killer first and everyone else rushed to catch up...

"Let’s face it, we can’t all fit in this hollow tree. Even if it is gigantic!" Pidgey squawked, pushing Growlithe’s tail out of his face. "Well then will you get off of me?" growled Cubone unhappily. "As soon as Growlithe gets off of MY back!" Pidgey said impatiently. Growlithe thrashed and pushed a bit and finally toppled to the ground, outside of the tree. Pidgey hopped after him. Cubone stumbled around feeling dazed. The rest fought and pushed their way out of the tree through its large round hole, and fell gasping on the ground.

"Ooookay…This is NOT working! Some of us have to sleep somewhere else," Raichu said, forcing a tired yawn. "Alright then. Let’s draw straws. I’ll pick some pieces of grass, hold them in my hand so they look the same length, and everyone randomly selects one. I get the last. There will be four short pieces of grass. Those who get them must find a different place to sleep. The rest of us stay in the old tree," Dratini said. Vaporeon jumped toward her. "I’ll volunteer! I will gladly sleep underwater in that stream! The trickling noise it makes sounds so pretty..."

"Thank you, Vaporeon. Now, I’ve got some grass here. Everyone choose one." They glanced at her tail, wrapped around the pieces, then at eachother, then plucked a stem each. "I got a long one!" Spearow crowed in relief. "Me too," Growlithe said. "Now then, may all who got short straws raise their hands?" Dratini asked. One, then two hands shot up. Pidgey, and Raichu. "Figures. Since I’m the star of this fa-" Pidgey groaned, but Mew jumped to cover his mouth (or beak.) Raichu just shrugged and a few sparks flew from her cheeks. They headed off...

While the rest slept peacefully in the large hollow tree, Pidgey and Raichu sat restless by the pond with Vaporeon. "I can’t sleep! I swear, I can’t!" Raichu complained. By now Vaporeon was busy shrouding the place in blue mist. Raichu was amused. "Nice touch, although it does no use whatsoever." Vaporeon looked back at her saying "I just think it makes the place look better."

Pidgey was blowing the mist around with his wings. "Here’s an interesting question: Should I evolve or not? I’m about at level 26 now, and I know Raichu would have to be atleast at 43, because she knows Thunder. I want to become a Pidgeot, but I’m doubtful about the Pidgeotto stage." Vaporeon thought for a moment. "Well, I’d recommend evolving instead of wondering. If you really don’t want to go through the Pidgeotto stage, then you can fight real hard every chance you get, and evolve into a Pidgeot in about 4 days!" Now Pidgey was excited when he heard this. He thought about all the advantages he’d have as a Pidgeot. He’d look so handsome too. As the others puzzled over his hopeful face, Pidgey began day dreaming of all the possibilities.

Raichu jumped in. "You really should. I remember when I was a lowly Pikachu. Almost every Pokémon I met made fun of me and pushed me around. I remember one Machoke that was so mean he seismic tossed me- by the tail! My poor tail was sore for a week! Then, I remember the very day I learned Thunder, a miracle happened. I could finally evolve! Now that I was a Raichu the other Pokémon kept their distance! I even tracked down the Machoke, who had also evolved, and beat the crap out of him in a one on one match! Can you believe I’m a Raichu, and female?"

"Aw, well maybe it’s just because they’re all sick of Nintendo using Pikachu like a mascot and taking away every other Pokémon’s fame. Plus, the little rat is way over rated. They can fight better than Voltorbs, but other than that, a Pikachu pretty much stinks," Raichu continued. Pidgey gave her a look like ‘you read my mind.’

"You know, why is it that the whole purpose of us [Pokémon] it basically to beat the other up and see who’s better? I’d call that a federal offense! First a trainer locks a Pokémon in a little ball, them forces them to obey orders, sends ‘em into battle, and has him/her either mercilessly beat the other almost to death, or the other does that to him/her. Then the Pokémon gets healed, only to be locked in a PokéBall and beaten up all over again! What is this world coming to?"

Vaporeon started to look sleepy, and her head disappeared beneath the water. Raichu glanced at the bird. He seemed to be staring off into space, in his own, made up world.

"Hey, Pidgey?" she asked, poking his side. Pidgey squawked in surprise, spreading his wings. "Guess you really were spacing out," she said. Pidgey puffed up his chest feathers.

"Well, I think it’s more than a glitch," Raichu said. Pidgey seemed surprised. She went on. "In fact, I have heard rumors from many other Pokémon that the creature really does exist, right on the east coast of Cinnabar Island- where it should be."

"Well, they might be kidding, but I’m not. Pokémon have claimed that they have seen some mysterious floating mass of electrons, mist, smoke, fire (and other random particals) by the coast, and have barely escaped with their lives. Others aren’t so lucky," Raichu insisted. Long silence.

"But, how can that be? It was just a glitch in the game, right? Or perhaps some experiment went wrong in a lab, and the result was this odd creature?" Pidgey wondered. Raichu shrugged. He sighed and looked up toward the sky.

"Some day, I don’t know when, but some day, I’ll fly to Cinnabar island, and find that mysterious creature, and when I do, I’ll learn everything there is to know about it," Pidgey said.

Raichu shook her head. "Well, suit yourself. After all, it’ll be your funeral."

There was more conversation before Raichu fell asleep, but nothing really worth writing. Pidgey was the last to fall asleep. A strange feeling came over him. He suddenly knew what he should do: evolve. He didn’t know when, but he knew.

"Pidgey! Hey, Pidgey, wake up!" Spearow yelled impatiently. Everyone else was up. He tapped Pidgey’s wing with his talon. Pidgey cooed and kicked his feet.

Vaporeon decided to help, and struck Pidgey with a Water Gun attack. He squawked and coughed, his face scrunched up. Spearow gave Vaporeon a sly smile.

"Why did you do that?!" Yelled Pidgey as he grabbed Spearow and Vaporeon by the nape. They stiffened.

"Now now, no reason to start a Cat fight," Mew said. She put her Paw on Pidgey’s shoulder. He reluctantly let them go.

Cubone twirled his Boneclub in the air with a bored expression. "Nothing to do today," he sighed.

"We could battle each other!" Raichu said happily. Spearow grinned. But Vaporeon, of course wanted no part in battling.

"Rrrrrrrrattata!" it hissed. It stopped, growled, and starred at them. It bared its teeth, ready to attack for no particular reason. "Rrrrrrraaa-"

"Oh shut up," Spearow said as he kicked it out of sight. Everyone stared at him gawk eyed for a moment. "Stupid Rattata," Dratini shrugged.

Not long later they went about foraging for food, mostly plants. They had already collected some raspberries and blackberries. Suddenly, Killer alerted the group.

"Guys, you’d better look," it said with a worried tone. The other eight all hurried to where it was.

"Down there," Killer said. They looked, and to their astonishment, surprise, and shock, lay a Pikachu. Its expression was frozen in fear, and it did not blink, react, or breathe. Yet it looked alive at first sight.

"But I don’t understand. Who could have done this? And why does it still look alive?" Mew gasped. A noise in the bushes. They look behind them, and saw that it was only a Weedle. They sighed and turned back to the sight, but to their surprise- it no longer was a dead Pikachu! It was a tire!

"This is starting to freak me out," Cubone said. Then, right before their eyes, the "tire" seemed to vaporize, and a blue mist was all that was left.

"I think we have enough food for now," Spearow said in a grimace. They left that area in a hurry.

Later the group was having lunch. Pidgey and Dratini were wandering around somewhere, the others were talking about what they had seen.

"What I don’t get, is why of all things, it became a tire. I mean, a tire? That’s an embarrassment to all unsolved mysteries if you ask me!" Spearow said.

Growlithe nodded, and chuckled. "You’re right. That sounds like something that would happen in a parody of, maybe, the X-files or something, but this isn’t any parody! Is it...?"

"Well, I’d say this fan fic [written by some loser who can’t let go of the computer] would probably fall under the Action/Adventure category," Raichu guessed. (HEY! WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?)

"Sooo, Spearow, weren’t you going to battle with Raichu?" Cubone said. Dratini frowned.

"Oh yeah…We forgot about that didn’t we?" Raichu said. Then she grinned. "Are you ready to lose?"

Spearow hissed. "Never under estimate your enemy. And let’s do this: We each go out and train for two hours to get ready. Cuz I haven’t like had much time to work on my fighting skills."

"Alright! Fine! You can go and train, but just to prove I’m already stronger, I think I’ll just stay here and not train at all," Raichu bragged.

Then, suddenly Killer said something. "Hey! Look what I learned to do!" it pointed its head at a tree, sprayed a stream of acid, and in a few seconds the tree was nothing but a glowing, bubbling green puddle.

"Thaaat’s nice..." said Cubone hesitantly, who thought that was rather repulsive.

Spearow was ready for battle, after practicing battle with many wild Pokémon and seeing just how fast he could fly. He walked with Raichu into a large open field. The other Pokémon followed, wondering if Spearow even stood a chance.

Raichu and Spearow glared at each other. "Let’s begin," Raichu said In a smile.

Instantluy Spearow flew high into the air, so high that none of Raichu’s attacks could hit it. Raichu wasn’t stupid, and she used Agility since she couldn’t hurt Spearow at the moment. Then Spearow dive bombed her and used a wing attack. It left a solid red mark all down Raichu’s back. Raichu cried out, but got over the pain quickly.

She used her tail as a weapon, and whacked Spearow repeatedly. Then she dug the pointy tip into Spearow’s skin and a thin cut appeared on his side. Spearow pecked at her between the eyes and Raichu bent over, trying to shield her face from his beak. Spearow continued to peck vigorously at Raichu, but didn’t know that she was charging up electricity.

Suddenly she released a powerful Thunderbolt. Spearow was so close to her that it caused a critical hit.

"Gaaaaaa!" Spearow cried as he fell, stunned and shaken to the ground. Then Raichu gave Spearow a Mega Punch. She was about to finish it, but decided not to yet.

Spearow slowly got up. He ruffled his feathers, glanced at Pidgey, and said, "No."

He suddenly used a powerful attack, Drill peck. He circled higher and higher in the sky, and dug his beak into Raichu’s flesh.

Blood spewed from her side. She tried to ignore the growing pain and gave Spearow a Thunder punch. He fell through the air, but flared his wings at the last moment to avoid crashing into the ground on his back.

Bellsprout, Cubone, Growlithe, Pidgey, Mew, Dratini, and Vaporeon moved out of the way. Raichu tried to stand through the wind, but eventually she was blasted away, and for a few terrifying seconds was flailing helplessly in the air.

Large yellow stars formed and homed in on Raichu, hitting her hard on the head. Then he dove at her, but she leaped out of the way.

"I’m surprised that Spearow hasn’t fainted yet," Cubone said as the battle continued.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIICHU!" Raichu performed a thunderwave, paralyzing Spearow. He was in mid-air when this happened, and came tumbling down.

He twitched and struggled to move but Raichu knocked him down again with a body slam. At this point there was a crack. One of his bones broke.

He screeched uncontrollably and Raichu darted away and tried to plug her ears. But…Spearow could move again! So he decided to mirror that move and Body slammed her back. Raichu got ready to shock him again but found that she had barely any electricity. She gave him a thundershock with the rest of her power anyway. It was barely enough to stun him. Raichu whipped out her tail and was ready to use it. Spearow was fully paralyzed.

"Now I can finish you off," she laughed cruelly as he twitched around on the ground.

Raichu jumped back and looked for what had caused such a sound. She saw a Nidorino, struck with fear. It reminded her of the ‘Pikachu’ they had seen before it had transformed and vanished. She left Spearow and approached it. Another THUD. And another! A Venusaur and a Poliwhirl also seemed to fall from the sky. Both had the same look of horror.

"Ya we cin figure that out, puppy," Spearow said while he tended to his broken leg.

"We had better leave this place right now," Vaporeon said hastily. The others didn’t hesitate to agree. Raichu and Spearow didn’t care anymore that their battled had been cut short, they didn’t want to battle in a field with dead creatures. As they started to leave, all three of the bodies became large boulders, and then all three disappeared in a shimmer of blue mist. Spearow hobbled after them, but didn’t get to far with a broken leg. Mew sighed and mended the wound with a Softboiled.

They went back through the woods to the small stream and the hollow tree where they had spent the night. But as soon as they had a clear view of the area, things just got worse. The stream, gone. The large tree (and many others) gone. The flowers, wilted. But that wasn’t the worst of it. The place itself was filled with many lifeless Pokémon, each sharing that terrified wide eyed face although dead.

"First we see one, then we see three. Now we see a whole field of these things!" Pidgey said in a worried tone.

"I think I’m gonna have nightmares," Cubone said as he tried not to look at the sight.

"Wait a sec. This doesn’t make any sense! Freaky, yes. Surprising, without a doubt. But logical? NO. First of all, all these things are dead, right? Then how can they have that terrified look, have their eyes open, be standing upright, and show no signs of decay? One thing’s for sure: this is a very disturbing mystery," Killer said. It couldn’t help but look scared itself.

"You know what? I think these aren’t real Pokémon! I mean, those things you pointed out deny the laws of science- I think. Not only that makes it odd, it is also odd how they just seem to drop from the sky. To add to the confusion, these things all seem to transform into something at random then disappear in a swirled of mist. How many dead creatures can do that? None, from what I know. And how there are hundreds here, each having the exact same pose and horrified face, that doesn’t seem very logical," Growlithe added.

"Yeah, so lez’ just leave dis place in a hurry!" Spearow squawked. Just then al, of the "bodies" transformed into one thing or another. Some things hey became included: notepads, buckets, stones, reflectors, clocks, pens, anvils, shoes, and chew toys.

"I know! I’ll fly up above the treetops and see if there is any end to this creepy forest. If I find an end to it, I’ll let you know!" Killer suggested.

"Now I’ve got a better idea. We’ll cover ground quicker if all the flyers- Mew, Pidgey, Killer, and Spearow split up and fly around the area, not just one," Cubone said. They decided this was a good idea and quickly took to the skies.

Mew was flying along, going south she had guessed, and for a while all she saw was an endless field of trees. Then she started to see small clearings, but they were still surrounded by forest. That won’t do. The next thing I know those clearings will probably be covered with bodies. Then she spotted some large shape in the distance, recognizing it immediately. A mountain. Probably cold and hard to breath by it, but the forest ends near this. perhaps there’s a city or prairie on the other side.

She flew over the mountain, and it slowly became harder to float around near the peak, and for obvious reasons because ice spread around it. The mountain was larger than Mew had expected, but eventually she had gotten around it to find something that relieved her. We can go here. After we overcome some opstacles. I should head back now to tell them as soon as I can. Or, maybe I’ll just save my time and teleport. She concentrated hard as a green glow surrounded her, and suddenly she disappeared. And reappeared in front of Dratini, Growlithe, Raichu, Cubone, and Vaporeon.

"Now I wish I could be called a different name. Killer just doesn’t sound like a very respective name," the Bellsprout muttered to itself in its strange voice. "And what is more ridiculous is the fact that ‘flapping’ my flimsy leaves allows me to fly." But Killer still admired its power no matter how odd it was.

But what it had thought would be an endless land of trees, trees, clearing, trees, clearing, trees, and more trees came to an end when he saw an old deserted looking hut. It wasn’t very large, and seemed to have no windows, since it was constructed of sticks, straw, and rotting worm-eaten wooden boards.

"An interesting thing to spot," Killer said proudly. "But I hope it’s not inhabited. It would be a large enough place for all of us to fit in, and we could spend the night," it added, pointing out the obvious. Then it made a note of the hut’s located and hovered clumsily back.
