From: Kevchiong@cs.com Hi all, I know, I should be working on my other story right now, but it's almost done. And this story idea popped into my head. So I felt like starting it. Also remember to send feedback, ideas, flames and stuff like that to Kevchiong@cs.com. Feedback will get this story continued. If I don't get any, I might not continue. Also, just a note. This story is not related to my other stories "Untitled," or "The Mission." Enjoy. Disclaimer: Don't own them. Simple enough. Here are the ages: Ash 16 Misty 16 Brock 18 J&J: 19 The Rocket Plot Prologue -- by Kevin Prologue - Reunion Ash Ketchum was bored. He was tired of battling hopeful trainers who wanted to be pokemon masters. He remembered when he was like that. Now, he was a real pokemon master. He loved what he did, but he was bored. "Hey Ash," Lance, the dragon trainer said, walking into the room. "You can take the rest of the day off. I'll take of the rest of the trainers. Looks like you need the break." Ash grinned. "You better believe it." "Pika! (Yeah!)" The small electric pokemon said, jumping onto Ash's hat. Ash laughed. "Come on Pikachu, let's go!" The duo walked out of the Pokemon League building, and wandered into Viridian City. Ash walked into the Pokemon Center. "Hi Nurse Joy," he said, taking 5 pokeballs from his belt. "Can you heal these for me?" Pikachu jumped up onto the counter. "Pika, pika! (Me too!)" he yelled. Ash laughed again. "Yeah, Pikachu too." Ash wandered around the pokemon center, and finally settled down in a blue chair. He picked up a new issue of The Pokemon Friend, and began to read. New Information Has Been Found about Mew Professor Oak, of Pallet Town claims to have uncovered more information about the legendary pokemon, mew. He recently went on a dig in Cerulean City, at a nearby cave. This is the cave that Mewtwo was found. When asked about this, the professor answered: "I believe that the discovery Mew is somehow linked with the discovery of Mewtwo." His statement can be justified by the recent "breakout" of Mewtwo from the lab they were keeping him. Scientist think that Mewtwo used it's psychic powers to-- (continued on page 4. See Mew Info) Ash put the magazine down. "Woah. That is one rare pokemon." He opened The Pokemon Friend, and tried to turn it to page 4. A story caught his eye. The headline read "Gym Closed Down!" That caught Ash's attention. He finished reading the article. It was about how Giovanni's gym had been closed down, because it was exposed as Team Rocket headquarters. "Excuse me, Ash?" Nurse Joy asked. "Your pokemon are fully healed. You can come pick them up now." Ash walked up to the counter, and picked up Pikachu and his other pokemon. "Come on, Pikachu. What do you wanna do?" Ash asked. "Pikachu pika pi pikachu, pika pi. (I wanna go see Brock and Misty.)" Pikachu grinned. "Pikachu, pika pika pi.... (Maybe *you* wanna see Misty too....)" "No, I do NOT!" Ash yelled at him, playfully. Pikachu just smirked. "Well I don't!" But deep down, he wasn't so sure.... * * * * * The next morning, Ash slowly walked out of his bedroom in The Pokemon League building. He slowly walked down the stairs, and into the kitchen. "What's for breakfast?" He asked. "George has the day off, so I'm cooking breakfast." The chef said, turning around. It turned out to be Agatha. "We're having scrambled eggs, and toast." She heard a crash in the next room, and groaned. "Haunter!" Ash smiled, and walked out of the room. He sat down at the table, and stared into space. Pikachu walked into the room. "Pikachu, pika pi. (Good Morning, Ash.)" Pikachu said, in a cheerful mood. "Why are you so happy?" Ash asked. "PIkachu pika pika pi chaaa. (You should be happy too.)" PIkachu said, with an all to familiar smirk on his face. "Pika pi chu piiiiika. (You get to see Miiiiisty.)" Ash swatted at the small rodent pokemon. Pikachu dodged, and laughed. "Pikachu pikaaaaaa pi! (Admit it you looooove her!)" "You are in *serious* denial, Pikachu.", Ash grumbled. "I do *not* love her." Pikachu just grinned. "Pikachu pika pi chu pi. (You just keep on telling yourself that.)" Pikachu began to walk out of the room. "Where exactly are *you* going?", Ash asked. "To your room to think up more ways to tease me about liking Misty?" "Pika... (Ahhh....)", Pikachu said. "Pika pi chu pikachu pi. (So you finally admit it.)" "What I meant was you-" Ash said, blushing a bit. "Pi, Pikachu. (Yeah, whatever.)" Pikachu walked out of the room. "Pika pi, Pikachu pika. (By the way, I was going up to pack.)" * * * * * Ash had finally succeeded in fitting all his things into one back pack. He picked up his bag, put it on, and walked out of his room. On the way out, he saw Pikachu trying desperately to fit a bottle of ketchup into his small suitcase. Ash grinned, and took the bottle of ketchup. For his effort, he got a thundershock. "Hey, take it easy Pikachu. I was just trying to help you pack this thing." Pikachu just shrugged, and snapped his suitcase shut. "Pikachu! (Lets go!)" Ash walked out of the league building, and into the streets of Viridian City. He took a deep breath, and walked north, towards Pewter City. He noticed a "Closed" sign on the Viridian City gym. So *this* was the gym that was closed down. He walked into the Viridian Forest. He was almost there. * * * * * "Did you get the Information?" A man shrouded in the dark asked, in a harsh tone. "Yes, Giovanni." A Rocket replied. "Mew can be found in a cave west of Cerulean. There's more information in The Pokemon Friend. But the problem--" "Excellent," Giovanni interrupted. "Team Rocket will capture Mew, and take over the world!" The rocket shuffled nervously out of the room. "Should I have told him?" He thought to himself. "Mewtwo is out to get Mew too...." To Be Continued.... OK, this is the part I beg for feedback. Please?
