Pokemon: Lento Legends [Rated G]

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes
Figured I'd post my fanfic on the Pokecommunity. There are a few things though:

1. Each Chapter is a bit long...
2. It's in the script format.

I'd really like to see how this goes before I post any more.

Pokemon: Lento Legends

Introduction: Before I get started with this story, let me give you a small intro to the plot. This story is based on my Rpgmaker 2003 Pokemon fangame, Pokemon Dawn/Dusk versions. Ash, May, Max and Brock are returning to Pallet Town in this episode, and Ash decides to leave for the new region Lento, with another batch of new Pokemon and a new ally (Brock will return too). This is only an alternate storyline and will not tell what will really happen after Hoenn on the TV series. With that out of the way, let's get the story started.

Episode 1: Homeward Bound

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Sceptile, Swellow, Torkoal, Corphish, Snorunt

Hoenn Badges: 8

(A ferry can be seen going across a body of water. It's dark outside. Ash and Pikachu are standing out on the deck as the ferry heads to Pallet Town)

Narrator: It's yet another clear and cool night as our heroes continue on their journey back to Pallet. Yet one of our heroes can't sleep.

Ash:(Turns to Pikachu) Pikachu, I just can't wait to get home.

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash: I can't believe I blew it at the Hoenn League.

(The scene changes to a flashback of one of Ash’s Hoenn League Battles. Ash and Sceptile are on one side of the field. Their challenger and a new looking, brown, round shaped Pokemon stands on the other side of the battlefield. The ball Pokemon is large and pudgy, with a large flame shooting out of it’s head. There are claws on it’s fingers and toes. Sceptile looks badly hurt)

Ash:(in flashback) You can do it Sceptile, let's try another Leaf Blade attack

(Sceptile looks ready to attack, but instead it faints, the flashback scene ends)

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Ash:(groans) That was a terrible performance...

(May walks out of her cabin on the boat, she lets out a huge yawn)

May: Ash, are you still out here?

Ash: (Turns and faces May) Yeah

May: I'm eager to get to Pallet Town and see what it's like, I'm always interested in seeing new places!

Ash: I know that, May, I'm just thinking

May: About the Hoenn League

(Ash falls down anime style)

Ash: Yes

Pikachu: Pikachu.

-Title Theme-

(It's now the next day and the boat is docking in a dock near Pallet Town, Ash, May, Max and Brock walk off of the ship. Max looks extremely excited)

Max: I'm so happy I finally get to meet Prof. Oak in person!

May: But we already met Prof. Oak in person.

Max:(head dropped) That's right, (he lifts his head) well then, I can't wait to see his lab in person.

Ash: I'm just glad to be home!

Brock: Is it because you lost at the Hoenn League?

(Ash falls anime style)

Ash: (graoning voice) Yes, and you're the second person to ask that!

May: We should leave Ash alone about that, after all he made a bigger mess than usual

(Ash gives her an angry look, May replies)

May: Well! It's true!

(In the meantime, Team Rocket are watching our heroes from up in a nearby tree)

Jessie: Well, Well, look at what we have here!

James: The twerp patrol!

Meowth: And Pikachu too!

James: It looks like they're headed back to Pallet Town

Jessie: It's about time we got inconspicuously evil!

Meowth: Don't ya mean like we always are?

Jessie: I mean even more so!

Team Rocket: Team Rocket will strike back!

(Wobbuffet comes out of it's Pokeball)

Wobbuffet: Wobba! (Wobbuffet's extra weight breaks the branch Team Rocket was on. They all come crashing down)

Jessie: Good Job, you blob of Foolishness!

(Jessie returns Wobbuffet to it's Pokeball)

James: Look up there!

(James points to the sky and notices a Fearow carrying a letter in it's beak. It drops the letter on James's Lap, he opens the letter to read it)

James: The boss wants to see us!

Jessie and Meowth: But why?

James: He's got some news for us...

(Jessie and Meowth turn completely white)

Meowth: Maybe, he's givin' us da pink slip

Jessie: Or, maybe he's reducing our salary.

(The next scene is in Team Rocket's HQ, Butch, Cassidy and Giovanni are there along with Jessie and James)

Giovanni: I'm changing paths!

J,J &M: WHAT!!!

Meowth: What do ya mean by changin' paths?

Giovanni: I mean we're going good from now on!

Butch: (puzzled) But why the change of heart boss?, why go good now?

Giovanni: To tell you the honest truth, I lost a bet.

J,J & M: WHAT!!!

Giovanni: Not too long ago, I bet my brother, who turns out to be the leader of another evil team, that my team could steal more Pokemon than his could…

James:(upset) And…

Giovanni:(Head turned, ashamed) And… I lost that bet. As a result, Team Rocket must become a good team.

Jessie:(Confused) Now, let me get this straight, We're going good?

Giovanni: Yes

Jessie, Well, then I quit

James and Meowth: WHAT!!!

James:(upset) but Jess, we can't quit!

Jessie:(angry) but being evil is in my blood, I can't go good now! It'll ruin everything.

Meowth: I agree!

James: Me too, looks like we're going to operate independently!

Jessie, James & Meowth: Team... Us blast off!

(They leave)

Giovanni: Have it your way, but don't think for a second that I wont crush you. (Turns to Butch and Cassidy), I still have your cooperation in this crossover, right?

Butch and Cassidy: Absolutely!

Giovanni: I honestly can’t wait to see where those fools end up.

(Scene Change, the Ketchum residence. ash and the Gang are at the table with plates of delicious food sitting around them. Delia Ketchum and Mr. Mime are present)

Delia: Enjoy Kids.

Ash, Brock, May & Max: Thanks a lot, that looks great!

Pikachu: Pika!

(The gang begins to eat)

Max: Thank's Mrs. Ketchum, that is delicious.

Delia: Don't thank me, Mr. Mime did the cooking this time!

Mr. Mime: Mime, Mime!

Ash : It's great, Mr. Mime!

May: Yeah!

Delia: Oh, Ash, aren't you going to see Prof. Oak today?

Ash:(Jumps up from the table) That's right, I forgot!

Max: Maybe because the Hoenn League is all you can think about.

(May motions for Max to be quiet, Ash falls down anime style, yet again)

Delia: Ash, think nothing of it, It's ok being top 4 in the Hoenn League.

Brock:(Agreeing) Yeah! You did better there than in the Johto league!

Ash:(rubbing the back of his head) Yeah, I guess you're right!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

-Who's that Pokemon? Hint: The points on its head absorb nutrients from clean water. They cannot survive in polluted water.-

(Ash and gang are now running toward Prof. Oak's Lab. They enter the lab and see Prof. Oak on the videophone with a young woman with long brown hair. She has a lab coat on as well)

Ash:(running inside) Prof. Oak, I'm here!

Brock: Ash, can't you see Prof. Oak is on the phone!

Woman on Phone: So, Prof. I look forward to our lunch together while we discuss those new species of Pokemon we discovered.

Oak: Ah, Prof. Palm! Of course we should have lunch next week! Too bad our regions are separated and far off.

Palm: That's ok, you can stay here for a day.

Oak: I'm sure I can get Tracey to watch the lab for a couple of days, he does such a good job.

Palm:(Noticing Ash and friends) I think you have some company, Prof. Oak!

(Oak turns around and notices Ash and the Gang)

Oak: Ah, glad to see you're all back.

Ash:(happily) Glad to be back Prof., who is that you're talking too?

Oak: Why, this is Prof. Palm from Redwood Town in the Lento region.

Palm: Hello Ash, I saw you battle in the Hoenn League! You did a great job!

Ash: Thanks!

Brock:(curious) Prof., I think I heard you mention you were gonna discuss some new Pokemon with Prof. Palm.

Oak: That is correct Brock, a few days ago I saw a weird looking thing. It was like a bubble, just bigger and it had eyes! It may have been a Pokemon, because I saw it use a Bubble beam attack on some Pidgey.

Ash: WOW!!! Really! That is so cool!

Palm: We believe it may have gotten there from Lento. I know about all of the species that we have discovered here, and I feel that it was a Bubbler!

Ash:(surprised) What!, so then...

(The scene changes back to that same flashback from the beginning of the episode, but now the focus is on the big brown ball Pokemon with the flame)...that Pokemon I faced when I lost!

Palm: Why Ash, that was a Burnsphere. It evolved from a Burnbal I gave to that trainer when he started his journey. a long time ago.

Brock:(realizing something new) I get it, Ash didn't know how to deal with it because he'd never seen it before.

Palm: Anyway, I'd enjoy it if you could register to compete in the Lento League, Ash!

Ash:(unsure) Uhhh...

Pikachu: Pikachu Pika!

Brock: I think you should go for it Ash!

May: Yeah!

Max: Yeah Ash, you should!

Ash:(thinking for a moment, then stating) then I will, I will compete in the Lento League!

(all of a sudden, there is an explosion from outside)

Oak: Sorry to cut you off, Prof., but I have to see what's going on!

Ash:(angrily) I have a pretty good idea of who that is!

Pikachu:(angrily) Pika!

(They rush outside to see Jessie, James and Meowth in street clothes)

Max: Team Rocket!

Jessie: Prepare for Trouble, that's where you're wrong

James: Make it double, we're singing a new song!

Jessie: To protect the world from devistation

James: To unite all people in every nation

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love

James: To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie: Jessie

James: James

Jessie: Team....Uhhh.....Uhhh

James:(angrily) C'mon, you know, you're messing up our motto!

Meowth: Dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Chimecho: 'ding ding'

Ash: So, if you're not Team Rocket?

Jessie: I know now, we're Team Independent!

Brock: Team Independent?

May: So, you finally ditched those losers at Team Rocket?

Meowth: As it turns out, Team Rocket has gone on to da good side.

Jessie: So we gave it up before we lost our evil touch!

James: And now! We'll get our hands on all of the Pokemon here!

Meowth:(Holding a mechanism with a rubber hand) And dat includes your Pikachu!

(Meowth activates the mechanism and grabs Pikachu)

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash:(yelling) Pikachu!!!!

(Team Independent jumps into their Meowth balloon, which has a vacuum inside. the vacuum is activated and Oak's Pokeballs are sucked into it)

Oak: The Pokemon!

Ash:(throwing a Pokeball) Go Sceptile!

(Sceptile comes out of it’s Pokeball in a fighting mood.)

Sceptile: Sceptile!

Meowth: You think dat scares us?!

James: That thing can't beat us!

Ash:(angrily) Sceptile may have lost at the Hoenn League, but that was due to unknown type disadvantage! Use Leaf Blade.

Sceptile: Sceptile!! (Sceptile uses a leaf blade on the vacuum bag, releasing the Pokeballs. Another leaf blade frees Pikachu)

Jessie: Oh, that's no fair!

Ash: Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Piiiikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! (Pikachu hits the balloon with thunderbolt and the balloon explodes)

TI: Looks like Team Independence is blasting off again!!!

Ash:(happily) we did it! That was great!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sceptile: Scep-Tile!

-That Pokemon, It's Corsola-

(It's later in the evening outside Oak's lab. Oak is holding Ash's pokeballs)

Oak: Are you sure, Ash?

Ash: I'd like you to hold everyone besides Pikachu! It's time for another clean slate!

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash:(turns to May, Max and Brock) So can you come?

May: Sorry Ash, but while I'm here I might as well go exploring.

Max: And I need to go with my sister and make sure she doesn't screw up!

Ash:(upset) Awwww, guys!

Brock: I need to stop by home one more time, and I will definitely catch up to you in Lento.

May: And Max and I will catch up when we're done here!

Ash: Ok!

Oak:(remembering) Oh, and Ash, here is a ferry ticket to the Lento region and a new Pokedex. Now don't forget to stop by your house and let your mother know!

Ash: I won't forget, thanks Prof.

May, Max & Brock: Bye Prof.

Oak:(shouting) Bye, and good luck Ash!

Narrator: After yet another full day of adventure, our heroes head down their own paths. Ash to the Lento region and Brock, May and Max to Pewter City. One things for sure, they'll see each other once again someday!

End Notes
Well, I finished the first Lento Legends Edit. I polished it up and ran a spellcheck. Hopefully, it will be better than the old first chapter. Anyways, please keep the critique coming. It will definitely help me write a better fanfic!

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:
Well, here is the edit for Episode 2. Hopefully this one is better as well.

Episode 2: Lento Me a Hand

Ash's Team: Pikachu

Lento Badges: 0

(It's a bright sunny day. This scene takes path on a tree lined path, in the distance a girl is running toward Redwood Town. She is dressed all in black and she has a white bonnet on her head. She is very pretty and has long black hair. Her name is Sarah)

Sarah:(running, worried) Oh, I hope I'm not too late!

(Sarah trips over a boulder, it happens to be a Geodude. She gets up and continues to run. Several bunny type Pokemon, with large floppy ears and fluffy, cotton tails watch her as she runs down the path. She finally sees a town with a huge laboratory in the center)

Sarah:(to herself) Redwood Town, I hope I can make it in time!

-Title Theme-

(The scene is now Ash and Pikachu getting off a ferry in a small town)

Narrator: After a short while of traveling, Ash and Pikachu arrive in the Lento region just a ways away from Redwood Town.

Ash:(excited) I can't believe it Pikachu! We've arrived in Lento!

Pikachu:(excited) Pikachu! Pika Pi!

Ash:(still excited) It shouldn't be too far to get to Redwood Town, we should ask for directions.

(Suddenly, Ash sees a big, metallic, armored bird fly across the sky)

Pikachu: Pika?

Ash: Right, I don't know what that was, now let's head to Redwood Town.

(Back in Redwood Town, Sarah walks into the lab of Prof. Palm. There are several desks lined up in front of a wall with a chalkboard hanging on it. Prof. Palm is wrapped up in study. On a nearby table, there are 3 Pokeballs)

Sarah: Prof. Palm, I came to register for your class.

Palm:(startled) Huh? Who's there?

Sarah: My name is Sarah, I come from Everwind Town, and I want to register for your Pokemon classes!

Palm: Didn't you know, you missed the deadline

Sarah:(bead of sweat on the back of her head) No way!

Palm: I'm sorry.

Sarah:(discouraged) Oh... Ok, I guess...

Palm: Wait a second! My graduating class had one graduate, I have some spare Pokemon to give away!

Sarah:(excited) Really!

(suddenly, there is a crash. Sarah and Palm turn around to see a couple of men in full black uniforms standing in the lab near a broken window. They both have Red E's on their uniforms)

Man #1:(snickering) These beginners Pokemon are fairly rare!

Man #2: These are perfect for stealing!

(The Man takes the Pokeballs from the table)

Palm: Hey, you can't take those Pokeballs, they need to go to new trainers!

Sarah:(upset) Like me, so leave those Pokemon alone!

Man #2:(angrily) Hey, you stay out of this young girl!

Man #1:(throws a Pokeball) Weezing, use smokescreen!

Weezing: Weezing! (Weezing releases a smokescreen, making it hard to see. Palm and Sarah cough while the smokescreen lingers, once the smoke lifts, the 2 men are gone and so are the Pokeballs)

Palm:(angrily) They got those beginner Pokemon!

Voice: No way!

(Palm and Sarah turn around to see a young boy with a red cap turned backwards on his head. he has a red and white striped shirt, yellow gloves and brown shorts. His name is Joseph and he's the graduate Prof. Palm spoke of earlier)

Palm: Joseph, you're a bit late!

Joseph:(angrily) Nobody gets away with stealing Pokemon! I must go find them! (Joseph storms out)

Sarah: Is that...

Palm:...that's the graduate!

(Next scene, Ash and Pikachu finally have Prof. Palm's lab in their sight)

Ash: There it is, Redwood Town!

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash: Let's find the Pokemon Center and register!

(Next Scene, Jessie, James and Meowth come crashing into a mysterious HQ. A man in a grey, 3 Piece suit with black suede shoes walks up to them. He is very stern looking, with a serious air about him.)

Suited Man:(sternly) Welcome to the HQ for Team Evil!

Jessie:(pops up) Ha-Ha, prepare to be taken over by Team Independence!

James:(also pops up) We will be in command of your operations!

Meowth:(springs upward) So, hand ovah dat control, we're in charge here!

Suited Man:(snickers) I like your spunk, why not join up with us?

Jessie, James & Meowth:(quickly) Willyougogoodsuddenlyfornoreason? (Will you go good suddenly for no reason?)

Suited Man: There's no chance of that ever...

Jessie, James & Meowth:(quickly) Wheredowesignup?! (Where do we sign up?)

Suited Man: Looks like we have some new recruits...

-Who's That Pokemon? Hint: When several of these Pokemon Gather, they can cause lightning storms-

(Scene, The Pokemon Center, Ash and Pikachu walk up to the counter and talk to Nurse Joy)

Nurse Joy: Ok Ash, I'll get you registered for the Lento League!

Ash:(excited) All right!

Pikachu: Pika!

(suddenly, a news flash appears on a nearby TV)

Reporter: We're receiving late breaking news that two shady men have broken into Prof. Palm's lab and stolen her 3 Beginner Pokemon!

Ash:(shocked) What!

Nurse Joy:(looking at the TV) That Team Evil must be at it again, they're always causing trouble.

Ash: Team Evil?

Pikachu: Pika?

Ash: Wonder who they are...

Nurse Joy: Ok, Ash, you are now registered to compete in the Lento region. Your first gym is in Smallplant City.

Ash: That's too cool! (turns to Pikachu) Ready, Pikachu?

Pikachu: Pika!

(Suddenly, Sarah rushes into the Pokemon Center and up to Nurse Joy)

Sarah: Nurse Joy, have you seen 2 shady men walk in here?

Nurse Joy: No, but I saw it on the news.

Sarah:(sad) darn!

Ash: Excuse me. (Sarah faces him) are you looking for two shady people.

Sarah:(hurriedly) YesIamhaveyouseenthemanywhereatall? (Yes I am, have you seen them anywhere at all?)

Ash:(nervous) Ahh! No I haven't, but I can help you!

Pikachu: Pika! Pika!

Sarah:(excited) You can?!, That'd be so great!

Ash: Well, lets go find them!

(Ash and Sarah run out of the Pokemon Center, Suddenly they are surrounded by smoke, when the smoke cleared, Jessie, James and Meowth are there. Jessie and James are wearing the same uniforms the 2 men were, just without the caps)

Jessie: Well, look who we have here.

Meowth: Da Twerps!

James: Wait a minute, don't you mean, the twerp?

Ash: Team Independence!

(Sarah notices the E's on their uniforms)

Sarah: No, that's Team Evil!

Pikachu: Pika?

Ash: Man, they keep switching teams, it's hard to keep up!

Jessie:(angrily) Enough of the foolishness, little boy!

James:(holding 3 Pokeballs) The boss has entrusted us with a new entourage!

Sarah and Ash:(shocked) Prof. Palm's Pokemon!

Jessie: So smart, yet so silly!

Meowth: Dese Pokemon belong to us now!

James:(throwing the Pokeballs) C'mon out you three!

(One Pokemon looks like a green seed, only a bit bigger and with red shoes. It wears a big grin on it’s face. Another looks like a small brown ball with a small flame coming out of it's head, and yet another looks like a long, blue, stretchy eel. These are the beginner Pokemon, Seedy, Burnbal, and Eelin)

Ash: Those are the beginner Pokemon? (He checks the Pokedex)

Pokedex: Seedy, Burnbal and Eelin, these Pokemon are the three beginners Pokemon that a starting trainer in Lento can choose from.

(Ash closes the Pokedex)

Ash:(angrily) You'd better give those back!

Jessie:(laughs) You'd better think again, little boy!

James: Yes, these Pokemon are ours!

Meowth: So stay out of our business!

(Wobbuffet comes out of it's Pokeball)

Wobbuffet: Wobba! Wobba!

Ash:(angrily) Pikachu! We'll show 'em!

Pikachu:(cheeks sparking) Piiika!

James:(not scared at all) Ha, with our new trio, there's no way you can beat us!

Sarah: Oh yeah, well there's a way they can beat you!

James, Jessie & Meowth: There is?!!!

Sarah: Seedy, use tackle. Burnbal, use ember. Eelin, use Water gun!

(The three Pokemon use their respective attacks on Team Evil. Team Evil screams in pain the whole time)

Jessie:(puzzled and hurt) But, how...can...that...be?

Sarah: You forgot, Beginner Pokemon will listen only to people they trust, like their first trainer!

Meowth: Ya gotta be kiddin' me kid!

James:(angrily) There's no way we'll let you win!

Ash:(determined) But we already have! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pikaaaaaachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! (Pikachu shocks Team Evil and sends them blasting off.

Jessie:(upset) I can't believe we let them beat us!

James:(upset) We never got the chance to really show them who was boss!

Meowth: Dis is not da way to start a whole new beginning!

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet! Wobba!

Jessie:(angrily) Who asked you?!

TE: We're blasting off again!!!!

Ash:(happy) We did it!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah:(excited) Ash, that was great!

Ash: You know who I am?

Sarah: I recognize you from the TV, you're pretty famous over in my hometown.

Ash:(nervous)Really (starts to rub the back of his head) well...

-That Pokemon, It's Pikachu!-

(Next Scene, Prof. Palm's Lab, Palm and Joseph [who looks tired] watch as Ash and Sarah make their way to the lab. Sarah is holding the 3 Pokeballs)

Joseph:(stunned) I can't believe she actually did it!

Sarah:(hands the Pokeballs back to Prof. Palm) Here you go, Prof.!

Palm: Sarah, I don't know what to say, except, thank you, and you too Ash, I'm sure you helped her.

Sarah: Actually, he helped me.

Ash: That's right!

Sarah: And we're gonna travel together!

Ash:(questioning) We are?

Pikachu: Pika?

Palm: That's great, now are you ready to select a Pokemon.

Sarah: I'm going to go with Burnbal!

(Sarah picks a Pokeball)

Joseph: And, I'll take Eelin!

(Joseph picks a Pokeball, one remains)

Palm: Ash, I want you to have the Seedy that remains.

Ash:(questioning) But what about the other trainers?

Palm: To tell you the truth, Ash, this is pretty much it!

Ash:(shocked) No Way!

Pikachu: Pika!

Palm: Yes, and I'm sure you'll make a great trainer for this Seedy, or so that's what Prof. Oak says!

Ash: If you insist...(he takes the last pokeball and holds it high in the air) I got a Seedy!

Pikachu: (does the usual "peace" sign) Pi Pikachu!

Joseph: Well, I should be going!

Sarah: So should we, Come on Ash!

Ash: Ok, (yells back to Prof. Palm) Bye Prof.!

Palm: Bye Ash! Good Luck!

Narrator: And so, Ash and his new Friend Sarah begin their journey through the Lento region. They will face Good and Bad times, they'll meet new people, make new friends, and more importantly, meet new Pokemon, as they journey through the Lento Region!

>To Be Continued

End Notes:
Well, this episode introduces us to Sarah, a young trainer from Everwind Town. Sarah's character details will unfold a bit more as each new chapter is released.

[dqle]

Not bad, rubyrulez. Not bad at all.

All of the characters seem to act just the way they're supposed to. A big plus in my part. Detail is decent, although new Pokémon seem somewhat vague. Sarah seems like another Ash. Wonder how she turns out... (will she related to a gym like the previous two young ladies that accompanied Ash?)

All in all, I like it! Only thing is to add a little more detail and more to the new Pokémon. I'm looking foward to seeing the next chapter!

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:
Thank you very much, dqle, for the nice comments, and telling me how I can improve. The bad news is that I already wrote Chapters 1-11, so they will be as is, but I will keep your advice in mind for future chapters. Anyway, here's the chapter 3 edit. Enjoy!:

Episode 3: Here Today, Gonbe Tomorrow

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy
Sarah's Team: Burnbal

Location: Redwood Town & Between Redwood and Everwind

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, Redwood Town, Ash, Pikachu and Sarah are walking down a road in Redwood Town, along this road are several markets selling all types of food items and other trinkets)

Narrator: As Ash and Sarah continue on their journey through the Lento Region, they pass by one of Redwood Towns most famous areas, the food market.

Ash:(wide eyed, mouth watering as he looks at all of the food) All of that stuff looks tasty!

Pikachu:(also wide eyed) Piiiikaaaa...

Sarah:(angry) Snap out of it, the two of you!

Ash: But we're just a little hungry, can't we buy some food?

Sarah: We have to get to Everwind Town if you're going to become a Pokemon Master overnight!

Ash:(angry) What's the hurry?! Nobody becomes a Pokemon Master overnight! We could stand to have something to eat!

Sarah: I suppose you're right!

(suddenly, a woman is heard screaming from not too far away)

Woman:(screaming) Stop! Thief!

Ash:(turns to Sarah) Could that be?

Ash & Sarah: Team Evil!

Pikachu: Pika!

-Title Theme-

(The next scene, the screaming woman's fruit stand. the woman is bulky and is wearing an apron. She holds a broom raised high above her head. Among the fruit is what seems to be a small version of Snorlax. It is eating the fruit. This Pokemon is a Gonbe)

Woman:(still screaming) You little thief! Get out of my fruit!

Gonbe: Gon Gon!

Woman: Why you...!

(Ash and Sarah run up to the stand)

Sarah:(worried) Team Evil?

Ash:(relieved) No, it's just a Pokemon.

(Ash pulls out his Pokedex and holds it up to Gonbe)

Pokedex: Gonbe, The gluttony Pokemon, this Pokemon is the baby form of Snorlax, it scrounges for food in trash bins and eats anything in it's sight. It is very carefree and will nap without warning.

Ash:(interested) A Gonbe! There are more new Pokemon then I thought!

Woman:(screaming) Get this little runt out of here!

Ash:(throwing a Pokeball) Seedy, let's go!

(Seedy comes out of it's pokeball. It seems willing to battle for the first time with his new trainer.)

Seedy: Seed!

Ash: We're going to teach that Gonbe a lesson for stealing!

Gonbe: Gonbe!

(Gonbe starts to run away, Ash chases it)

Sarah:(hands the woman 100 poke dollars) Here, for the fruit Gonbe ate!

Ash: Seedy, use your Tackle attack!

(Seedy rushes at Gonbe with it's Tackle attack. It scores a direct hit)

Seedy: Seedy! Seedy!

Ash: Good job, Seedy! (Turns to Sarah), would you like to do the honors?

Sarah:(points to herself) Who, me?

Ash: I have a Snorlax back in Pallet, I don't think I need another!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah:(confident) If you insist!

(Sarah pulls out an empty Pokeball and throws it at Gonbe. Gonbe gets up almost instantly, and runs away.)

Ash:(nervous) Oh-No!

Pikachu: Pika!

Seedy: Seed! Seedy Seedy!

Sarah: We've gotta go after it, before it causes these shopkeepers more trouble!

Ash: You're right! Let's go!

(All the while, Jessie, James and Meowth were watching this through their binoculars from nearby)

Meowth: Wow, dat Gonbe Pokemon is a real troublemaker

James: Troublemaking is what we're all about, we could use a Pokemon like that on our team.

Jessie: (slaps James) Have you forgotten, anything we steal from now on goes straight to the boss!

James: We can't even keep the least bit of the Pokemon we steal?

Jessie:(angry) No, not even the tiniest bit.

Meowth: Dat stinks!

James: It does.

Jessie: The boss will be expecting the best from us, and that Gonbe is just what he needs.

James:(narrow eyed) How would you know? We barely got to know the guy!

(Wobbuffet comes out of it's Pokeball)

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

(Jessie puts it back in it's Pokeball)

Meowth: I guess if dat's how it must be, we must give it to da boss!

James: For the boss.

Jessie: For the boss.

James:(muttering) Who you hardly know...

Jessie:(angry) WHAT?!

James:(nervous) Uh... nothing!

(Next scene, a nearby forest, Ash and Sarah are still chasing Gonbe, they look tired, as does Pikachu and Seedy)

Ash:(panting) Man, that Gonbe can run!

Sarah:(panting) Yes, very much so!

Pikachu:(also panting) Pika, Pika, Pika...

Gonbe:(tauntingly) Gonbe! Gonbe!

Ash:(angry) Is that the way you wan't to be? You'll have to deal with me!

Seedy:(panting) Seeeeeed...

Ash:(still angry) C'mon Seedy, let's show him who's boss! (Seedy faints from exhaustion, Ash puts it back in it's Pokeball) You got lucky!

Sarah: Wait, Ash!

(Sarah throws her Pokeball, Burnbal comes out)

Burnbal: Ball!

Ash: That's right, Burnbal can help!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: Burnbal, use Ember!

(Burnbal starts to use ember, but a mysterious grappling hand comes from the sky. It is actually coming from Team Evil's balloon, which has been changed to a Wobbuffet balloon)

Ash: Not you guys again!

-Who's that Pokemon. Hint: The cheerful spirit of its TRAINER gives it energy for its psychokinetic power. It spins and dances when happy-

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, this Gonbe is ours

James: And Make it double, at least it's not yours

Jessie: To protect the world from devistation

James: To unite all people in every nation

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love

James: To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie: Jessie

James: James

Jessie: Team Evil, causing Havoc at the speed of light!

James: Surrender to us now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Chimecho: 'ding'

Ash: What do you guys want now!

Jessie:(now holding Gonbe) Nothing, this Gonbe will do just fine!

Sarah:(angry) Let Gonbe go!

James: Not a chance! (throws a Pokeball) Go, Cacturne!

Jessie:(throws her Pokeball) Let's go, Seviper!

(Cacturne and Seviper come out of their Pokeballs, Cacturne turns around and gives James a big bear hug)

James:(screaming) Not me! The Twerps, The Twerps!

Jessie: Seviper, use Poison Tail!

(Seviper is about to use Poison tail on Burnbal. It's tail glows purple.)

Ash: Sarah, use an attack!

Sarah: Right! (Turns to Burnbal) Use Ember!

(Burnbal uses Ember and roasts Seviper in one hit)

Seviper:(weakly) Se...viper.

James: Cacturne, use Pin Missile

(Cacturne shoots a Pin Missile attack at Pikachu)

Ash: Pikachu, use Thunder!

Pikachu: Piiiiikaaaaachuuuuuuuuu!

(Pikachu's Thunder attack hits Cacturne head on!)

James:(screaming) Noooooooo!

Meowth: Dey've got us yet again, don't dey?

Jessie:(shocked) Maybe, but we've still got Gonbe!

(Gonbe notices Jessie's long hair. It bites down hard on her hair)

Jessie:(screaming) Ahhhhhhhhhhh! My hair! Let go of my hair you little rascal!

James: Little Rascal?

Meowth: Obviously, somebody's been watching too many of dose classical movies!

(Jessie drops Gonbe, Sarah runs out and catches it in her arms)

Sarah: Gotcha!

Gonbe:(happily) Gonbe! Gonbe!

Jessie:(screaming) That thing ruined my hair, I don't want that thing near me again!

(They return their Pokemon back to their Pokeballs in utter defeat.)

Ash:(determined) Pikachu's all fired up and ready to teach you all a lesson!

Pikachu:(angry) Pikachu!

Jessie, James & Meowth: No! Not again!

Ash: Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuu!

(Pikachu's Thunderbolt sends them blasting off)

TE: Team Evil's blasting off again!

Ash: Bye-Bye!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: Great! (To Gonbe) and now to finish what we started...

(The scene changes, Gonbe is on one side, Sarah and Burnbal are on another side. Ash and Pikachu are on the sidelines)

Ash:(excited) I can't wait to see how Sarah does!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Sarah: Burnbal, use Scratch!

Burnbal: Ball!

(Burnbal rushes at Gonbe, bearing it's claws)

Gonbe: Gonbe!

(It dodges the attack, and then let's out a big yawn bubble. The yawn bubble is big and pink. It hits Burnbal and bursts. Burnbal looks sleepy)

Ash:(yelling) Sarah, it just used Yawn attack!

(Burnbal falls asleep, Gonbe rushes at it, using Tackle. it connects, but doesn't do much damage)

Sarah:(yelling out to Burnbal) Burnbal! You can't sleep now, you've gotta wake up!

(Burnbal hears this and wakes up)

Ash: All right!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: Burnbal, use Ember!

Burnbal: Ball! Ball!

(Burnbal shoots embers at Gonbe, it scores a direct hit. Gonbe now looks dizzy)

Ash:(yelling to Sarah) Sarah, now's your chance!

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Sarah: What?

Ash:(still yelling) Throw your Pokeball!

Sarah: Oh, right! (She pulls out a Pokeball and throws it) Pokeball, go!

(The Pokeball opens up and Gonbe disappears inside in a flash of red light. The ball then begins to wiggle back and forth. Sarah, Ash and Burnbal watch the Pokeball with determination. Suddenly the Pokeball Pings and Sarah picks it up)

Sarah:(excited) All right, I caught Gonbe!

Ash:(also excited) Great job!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: I owe it all to Burnbal!

Burnbal:(happy) Ball!

-Did you guess the Pokemon? It's Kirlia!-

(Scene changes, the sun is setting. Ash and Sarah are walking down the path to Everwind Town. Sarah is holding the Pokeball with Gonbe in her hands)

Sarah: I can't believe I actually captured my first Pokemon so quickly!

Ash: I'm not surprised, there are more of them where that came from!

Pikachu:(pointing forward) Pikachu!

(Ash, Sarah and Pikachu gaze upon a town, It's Everwind Town)

Sarah: This is Everwind Town, my hometown!

Ash: Let's get to the Pokemon Center and hang out for the night, ok Pikachu?

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah:(to herself) I've never met anybody who loved Pokemon so much!

(Ash and Sarah start to walk toward Everwind Town)

Narrator: After quite the adventure, Ash and Sarah head into Everwind Town, one of the first stops on their Lento journey. It's even more special for Sarah, because she enters here with her first new friend!

End Notes:
Hope you enjoyed Chapter 3. This chapter was actually written before Munchlax got it's english dub name. You'll notice in future chapters it will go by it's dub name.

[RealPokemonFan]

Yknow what, I honestly believe this could become the next Pokemon series! If you learn cartooning, you could make this into your own series!

[Frostweaver]

PM running out of space... I'll just inform you here that the more detailed review for your story is now available in the fanfic lounge (read at your own risk as always)

However, do not ever be proud that your fanfic is better than the TV set, because that's an awfully easily achieved and a terribly low standard ^_^ Avoid turning your fanfic into a new-Pokemon-anime-wannabe at all cost. It's the first fundamental rule in Pokemon fanfic writing perhaps... feel free to make your story a sequel to the anime, but never *become* the anime itself or prepare for a truly well known reputation being stuck to your story, not in the way that you want it to be.

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:
Well, here is Episode 4, entitled "The Great Gym Caper" I edited this from it's original version so that the style of it matched the first three. Brock finally makes a comeback in this episode, and Ash sees another new Pokemon. Hopefully these edits will get better reviews from critics I can only hope to please. As for being better than TV, or being sucked into an "anime-trap", that is not an ultimate goal. Hopefully I will be able to write better chapters in the future!

Episode 4: The Great Gym Caper

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy
Sarah's Team: Burnbal, Gonbe (Munchlax)

Location: Everwind Town

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, outside the Everwind Town Pokemon Center. Ash steps out with Pikachu on his back. Ready as always to continue on his journey.)

Narrator: It's yet another beautiful day, as Ash and Pikachu head out of the Pokemon Center in Everwind Town, ready as ever to start the journey through Lento!

Ash:(determined) Well, Pikachu, you ready to head off to Smallplant City?

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah:(upset) Hold on one second!

Ash: What's up?

Sarah:(still upset) I wanted to stop by my home for a few seconds before we headed off. Gee, you're in such a hurry!

Ash:(discouraged) Sorry...

Pikachu:(also discouraged) Pika...

(Suddenly, Ash and Sarah notice a huge building not too far off. There is a large crowd standing outside.)

Ash:(curious) Wonder what's up over there!

-Title Theme-

(Scene, outside the huge building, there is a fairly large crowd of people trying to squeeze in. Salesmen outside are selling T-Shirts and other souvenirs. Ash and Sarah walk by.

Sarah: Oh-my, this is the Everwind Gym.

(Suddenly, there is a gleam in Ash's eye)

Ash:(slyly) Gym, eh...

Sarah: Forget it Ash, this gym is only for professional trainers.

Ash:(angry) Are you calling me unprofessional?!

Sarah: What I mean is, this gym leader never battles anybody unless they can show Lento's other 7 badges, and no exceptions!

Ash: Then, this huge crowd of trainers must be waiting for a battle.

(A man in the crowd hears this.)

Man: We're not here for a battle, we're here to watch a battle!

Ash:(curious) Watch?

Pikachu: Pikachu?

Sarah: Oh well, looks like the crowd is too big for us to get in.

(Suddenly, a familiar hairdo can be seen in the crowd. Ash pushes through the spectators until he finds none other than Brock! Brock is now wearing his FireRed/LeafGreen outfit, making him the only character in this fanfic with new clothes)

Brock:(turns around) Ash! Great to see you!

Ash:(happy) It's so great you made it to Lento!

Brock: Yeah! I was able to get tickets for all of us to watch the gym battle here!

Sarah:(happy) That's so cool!

Ash:(remembering) Oh! Brock, I'd like you to meet Sarah!

(Brock and Sarah shake hands)

Brock: Nice to meet you!

Sarah: Same here!

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Ash:(curious) So, how did you get those tickets?

Brock: This nice lady gave them to me when I asked her out!

(Brock points to a tall, dark haired woman. The woman turns around and notices Sarah. Sarah is now wide eyed.)

Sarah:(surprised) Mom!

Sarah's Mom:(happy) Sarah, I'm so glad to see you home! Did you get into those classes?

Sarah: Even better...

(Sarah pulls out her Pokeballs and opens them. Burnbal and Gonbe come out)

Burnbal: Ball!

Gonbe: Gon! Gonbe!

Sarah's Mom:(shocked) Sarah! I'm so proud of you, you got your first Pokemon without those classes! (She notices Ash) You must be Ash!

Ash: That's me!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Brock: I can't wait to get inside and watch this battle.

Ash:(curious, as always) By the way, How're May and Max.

Brock: They hung out at the Pewter Gym with me and then they headed for Mount Moon. I'm sure they're gonna want to explore a little before catching up to us!

Ash: Yeah!

(Suddenly, the crowd grows smaller as people file into the gym.)

Ash: Why are there such large crowds at these gym battles?

Sarah's Mom: In Lento, it's quite a big deal earning 7 badges...

Brock: I hear the Lento region is much tougher than any other league!

Sarah's Mom: Correct, now, people from all over want to see these trainers’ strengths for themselves, so they come to watch the gym battles in person. It's the only gym in Lento with such large crowds.

Ash:(excited) That's so cool.

(Ash turns toward the gym and starts to think to himself. He sees himself standing on the battlefield in the gym, holding onto his 8th badge as the crowd cheers loudly.) I can only imagine myself in there!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Sarah: Well, let's go in!

(Ash and gang head inside, watching them is Team Evil's Jessie, James and Meowth)

Jessie: Well, would you look at that...

Meowth: Da Twerps is headin' into dat gym.

James: And did you see that large crowd? Each of those people must have Pokemon that are perfect for picking!

Jessie: That's right!

Meowth: And dat Gym leader must have da pick of da litter!

Jessie: That must be why this battle is such a big deal! We must poach those Pokemon!

James: It'll be the heist of the century!

Meowth: We'll be in for that Promotion of our dreams!

Jessie, James & Meowth:(excited) What're we waiting for!

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

(Jessie returns Wobbuffet to its ball)

Jessie: We need a plan!

James: One that won't fail!

Chimecho: 'ding ding'

James: Chimecho! I'm trying to think!

(Chimecho wraps itself around James's eyes)

Chimecho: 'ding'

James: Stop that!

(Scene, inside the gym. The stands are packed but the battlefield is empty. Ash and the gang have ringside seats to the battle. There is a scoreboard on the wall. It appears as if each trainer may only use 2 Pokemon each!)

Ash:(excited) I'm so excited!

Brock: Of course!

Sarah's Mom: Everwind Gym always has exciting battles Ash! You're in for a real treat!

Sarah: You sure are!

Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Everwind Gym. Announcing the arrival of the leader, Perry!

(A short man with messy, dark brown hair steps onto the battlefield. He’s wearing a white shirt with white pants.)

Sarah: That's the leader, Perry! He's my hero!

Ash:(sarcastic) He doesn't look so tough...

Sarah's Mom: You don't have any idea!

Announcer: And, on the other side of the battlefield, Gregory from Smallplant City!

(A tall man with brown hair steps onto the battlefield. He’s wearing a red shirt with blue jeans.)

Brock:(impressed) Now he looks tough!

Ash: Ha! I could beat him easily!

Announcer: Each trainer will only be allowed to use 2 Pokemon! The winner will be declared once one sides Pokemon are judged unable to battle! The challenger may use substitutes while the leader may not. With that said, let the battle begin!

Leader Perry: Are you ready for a match to remember?!

Gregory: You bet! (He throws a Pokeball) Go, Machamp!

(Machamp comes out of its Pokeball, he looks ready to fight)

Machamp: Machamp!

Ash:(sad) Awww, I’ve seen that Pokemon already!

Pikachu:(sad too) Pika...

Leader Perry:(throws a Pokeball) Palmlet! Let's teach him a lesson! (A goldenrod colored, round Pokemon comes out of the Pokeball. It's got a fairly large Palm tree growing out of it's head, with 4 huge leaves.)

Ash:(excited) I've never seen that one before! (He takes out the Pokedex)

Pokedex: Palmlet, the Palm Tree Pokemon. Palmlet is small and very agile. It constantly sways back and forth to keep from tipping over due to the large Palm Tree on its head.

Brock: That Pokemon looks kind of cool!

Ash: Yeah, I wonder what it can do!

-Who's That Pokemon? HINT: It is the world's most slothful Pokemon. However, it can exert horrifying power by releasing pent-up energy all at once.-

Leader Perry: Ok, Palmlet, let's start with a body slam!

(Palmlet rushes at Machamp, prepared to pull off a powerful Body Slam)

Gregory: Ok, Machamp, let's stop it in its tracks!

Machamp: Machamp!

(Machamp grabs hold of the palm tree on Palmlet's head)

Leader Perry: Palmlet, let's show Machamp your Seismic Toss!

Palmlet: Palm!

(Palmlet swings its tree back and forth. Still holding on is Machamp)

Ash:(shocked) Whoa!

Brock: Palmlet is strong!

(Suddenly, there is a rumbling in the gym. There is a dusty explosion in the center of the battlefield. When the dust clears, there is a giant Gonbe robot with a big, red E on the stomach.)

Ash:(angry) Team Rock, Uhhh, Evil! (Muttering) I gotta get used to that!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, it's time for a change

James: And Make it double, within our new range

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation

James: To unite all people in every nation

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love

James: To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie: Jessie

James: James

Jessie: Team Evil, causing Havoc at the speed of light!

James: Surrender to us now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!

Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Jessie: Well now everybody, we hope you enjoyed the show!

James: Because now it's time for your Pokemon to go!

(Two vacuums come out of the robot and start to suck up the audiences Pokeballs. Ash, Sarah and Brock hold on tightly to theirs, but the rest of the crowd isn't so lucky. Ash, Sarah and Brock run onto the battlefield)

Leader Perry: What's going on here? Who are you?!

Ash: It's OK, we're here to stop these crooks!

(James notices Palmlet)

James: Well, what do we have here?

Meowth: Another Pokemon dat's right for da pickin'

James: Come to papa!

(The vacuum starts to suck up Palmlet, but is having trouble)

Leader Perry:(Upset) Palmlet! No!

Sarah:(angry) That is it! (Throws a Pokeball) Go! Gonbe!

Gonbe: Gon! Gon!

Jessie:(shocked) You've got to be kidding me!

James: That thing can't stop us!

Meowth: Let's suck 'em up!

(A vacuum points at Gonbe. It tries to suck it up but is having trouble)

Sarah: Gonbe! Use headbutt!

(Gonbe rushes at the vacuums with its head. It slams into the vacuum and tears it off the robot. It does the same to the other vacuum and tears that one off. The stolen Pokeballs come pouring out)

Jessie:(yelling) That's no fair! You can't have those back!

Ash: Well, we're taking them back!

Sarah: Gonbe! Another Headbutt!

Gonbe: Gon!

(Gonbe rushes at the Gonbe robot with its head. It makes direct contact and causes an explosion. Team Evil flies out of the gym and into the sky.

Jessie:(sad) Beat again!

James: Buck up, we'll win someday!

Meowth: We hope dat's gonna be soon!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

TE: Team Evil's blasting off agaaaaaaaaain!

(Back at the gym, the audience is cheering. They rush onto the battlefield to claim their Pokeballs)

Ash:(excited) Sarah! That was awesome!

Brock:(excited) Yeah, you handled your Gonbe pretty well!

Sarah's Mom: Oh sweetheart, I'm proud of you!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: Thanks, but Gonbe deserves all of the credit...(she picks up Gonbe and hugs it)...right?

Gonbe: Gonbe! Gonbe!

-Did you guess the Pokemon? It's Slaking-

(Scene, outside the gym. Ash, Sarah and Brock are standing outside with Sarah's Mom)

Sarah's Mom: They decided to postpone this battle until tomorrow. I know you need to head out so I'll let you know how it goes, OK!

Sarah: Sure Mom!

Sarah's Mom: Sweetheart, make me proud!, and good luck Ash!

Ash: Thanks

Pikachu: Pikachu!

(they wave goodbye and walk down the road)

Ash:(to Pikachu) Just think, Pikachu, that'll be us on that battlefield someday!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Brock: That's the spirit Ash!

Sarah: Always dream big! That's what mom always said!

Ash: Yeah!

Narrator: After a great adventure in Everwind Gym, Ash and the gang are ready to set off to Smallplant City, where Ash definitely has big dreams of earning his first Lento Region gym badge!

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:
Well, Chapter 5 is coming at ya! In this episode, Ash meets a trainer with a brand new Pokemon. He challenges her to a battle, and Sarah learns about pulling Brock by the ear whenever he tries to go near a girl. Please keep those reviews coming!

Episode 5: Keep on Moving Bunon!

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy
Sarah's Team: Burnbal, Gonbe(Munchlax)
Brock's Team: Ludicolo, Marshtomp, Forretress

Location: Between Everwind and Smallplant

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, a country road. Ash, Sarah and Brock are walking along the road, a crystal clear lake runs nearby the roadside)

Narrator: It's yet another perfect day in the Lento Region as Ash and the gang continues to Smallplant City and Ash's first gym battle. But the road ahead is long and full of wondrous new Pokemon.

Ash: I just can't wait to get to my first gym battle!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah:(concerned) What's the big hurry?

Brock: Don't worry, he's always like this.

Ash: I feel ready for a great gym match!

Brock: Enthusiastic as always, right Ash?

Ash:(excited) You bet!

Brock: May I remind you that you’re just starting up again, and still need training.

Ash:(stops in his tracks) What!

Pikachu: Pika!

Brock: That always gets him!

-Title Theme-

(Ash and the gang are now stopped along the bank of the river, taking a rest)

Ash: I can’t believe you got me again.

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: Ash, he’s serious.

Brock:(stern) Remember back in the Hoenn region, all those times you ran into battle unprepared?

Ash:(cool) Brock, there’s no need to worry about me! I’ll be alright.

Brock: If you insist, you could at least catch some more Pokemon.

Sarah: Like I caught Gonbe, which I heard can also be referred to as Munchlax.

Ash:(standing & serious) I’ll catch a Pokemon, just see what comes my way.

(Suddenly a bunny rabbit type Pokemon runs out of a bush. It sniffs around for a while.)

Bunny: Bun Bun.

Ash: See, they all just come right to me!

Pikachu: Pi…

Sarah:(curious) What is that?

(Ash pulls out his Pokedex)

Pokedex: Bunon, the Bunny Rabbit Pokemon, this Pokemon is very agile and is always on its toes. Whenever it senses danger, it scurries around and tries to find the safest exit. At times, it will fight the danger head on.

Ash:(excited) That’s the type of Pokemon that I need on my team!

Sarah: Yeah, a Pokemon that’s afraid of everything.

Brock: Ash could use another Pokemon.

Ash:(in battle mode) Ok, Pikachu! Let’s get it!

Pikachu: Pika!

Bunon: Bun!

Ash: Pikachu, use your Thunderbolt!

Pikachu:(charging up) Piiii….

Mysterious female voice: Wait!

Ash:(curious) Huh?

(a tall and beautiful, black haired girl runs out toward Bunon)

Brock:(in love) Wooooooooow! It’s love at first sight!

Girl:(angry) Why would you battle my Bunon like that without me around!?

(The girl is wearing a red dress with a green blouse underneath. She is very slender and pretty, with delicate features. Ash approaches her with a worried look on his face.)

Ash: Well, I wanted to capture it.

Brock:(mumbling) Ash, bad thing to say.

Ash:(apologetic) I’m sorry, I thought it was a wild Pokemon!

Girl: It’s ok, I guess.

(Brock rushes up to her)

Brock: Don’t mind him, he’s new here. My name is Brock and you are the light in my life!

Girl:(stupefied) Uh…?

Brock: Tell me your name.

Girl: I’m Gloria. It’s nice to meet you.

Ash: Nice to meet you too, I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you and Bunon!

Gloria: Oh, that’s alright.

Bunon: Bun!

Brock:(still in love) That Bunon’s as cute as you are Gloria!

Sarah:(confused) What’s up with him?

Ash: Don't worry about that, there's one simple solution!

(Ash pulls Brock by the ear)

Brock: Ahhhhhh!

Ash: We'd be much better off if you didn't do that!

Brock: Ow! Let go!

Gloria: What's with him...

Sarah: Don't ask.

Ash: So, anyway, will you battle me, Gloria?

Gloria:(happily) That'd be great!

(Meanwhile, from the bushes, Team Evil spies on our heroes)

Jessie: Well, well.

James: It's the twerps!

Meowth: And dey're with some new girl!

Jessie:(angry) Humph, she's not as gorgeous as me!

James: She's got nothing on you...

Meowth: But everything 'bout her's better dan you.

Jessie:(Angry) WHAT WAS THAT?!

Meowth:(scared) I didn't say anyting.

James:(noticing Bunon) What's that thing?

Meowth: Dat's a Bunon. It's a pretty strong Pokemon.

Jessie: Hmmmm, well we'll just see for ourselves exactly how strong that thing really is.

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

(Jessie returns Wobbuffet to it's Pokeball)

James: It's game time!

-Who's that Pokemon? HINT: When it changes form, an aurora appears. It absorbs attacks by altering its cellular structure-

Brock: This is a 1 on 1 match between Ash and Gloria. The first Pokemon ruled unable to battle loses! With that, let's start the battle.

Gloria: I'm certain Bunon and I can win this match!

Ash:(determined) Don't be so sure of that!

Gloria:(throws Pokeball) Go! Bunon!

(Bunon comes out of the Pokeball. It looks pretty angry, and is in the perfect mood for a long battle.)

Bunon: Bun!

Ash:(throws Pokeball) Seedy! I choose you!

(Seedy comes out of its ball. It, too is ready for a fierce fight.)

Seedy: Seed!

Gloria: Bunon, let's start with a quick attack!

(Bunon rushes at Seedy at top speed)

Ash: Seedy, dodge it!

(Seedy jumps out of the way)

Sarah:(amazed) Wow, Ash is good!

Brock: He's been everywhere with Pokemon, in all different situations. He's earned some valuable skills!

Ash: Ok, Seedy, let’s use Tackle!

(Seedy rushes into Bunon and knocks it down)

Gloria:(determined) Ok, Bunon, let’s show Ash your special Technique.

Bunon: Bunon!

(An orange glow appears in Bunon’s hands as he places them together)

Brock:(astounded) No way!

Sarah:(confused) What?

Brock: It knows Hyper Beam!

Ash:(calm) Seedy, close your eyes and focus.

Seedy: Seed!

(Seedy closes his eyes and does exactly as Ash says. He awaits Bunon’s Hyper Beam attack to fully charge.)

Gloria: Launch Hyper Beam!

(Bunon shoots a bright, orange beam at Seedy)

Ash: Now!

(Seedy jumps, and the Hyper Beam attack misses)

Sarah:(amazed) Whoa!

Brock: That’s Ash for ya!

Gloria:(dumbstruck) Wow!

Bunon:(confused) Bunon?

Ash:(confident) We don’t fool around!

Seedy: Seedy!

(suddenly, two extending claws come out of the bushes and grab both Bunon and Seedy. A third grabs Pikachu)

Gloria:(upset) What the?

(It's Team Evil. Their balloon appears out of nowhere. The three Pokemon are hanging from it)

James: Allow us to introduce ourselves to the newcomer.

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, It's time to be bad,

James: And Make it double, hope you're not mad,

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation,

James: To unite all people in every nation,

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love,

James: To extend our reach to the stars above,

Jessie: Jessie,

James: James,

Jessie: Team Evil, causing Havoc at the speed of light!,

James: Surrender to us now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!,

Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Meowth:(angry) get back down dere!

(Pushes Wobbuffet down)

Wobbuffet: Wobba! Wobbuffet!

Ash:(angry) Not you guys again!

Brock:(angry) Don't you guys ever give up?!

Jessie: Apparently, no...

James: Being evil is in our blood, as a matter of fact, it's our Team's name!

Meowth: To tink we'd give in to da likes of yous.

Gloria: You know them?

Ash: They follow us everywhere and give us trouble.

Jessie:(throws Pokeball) Seviper, get out there!

(Seviper comes out)

James:(throws Pokeball) Let's go, Cacturne!

(Cacturne comes out, but gives James a big bear hug [ouch!])

Cacturne: Cacturne!

James:(in pain) No, get them, get them!

Ash: I have no other Pokemon!

Brock: Use Pikachu's Thunderbolt!

Ash: Right, (to Pikachu) Use thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

(Pikachu shocks Seedy and Bunon, but not the balloon.)

Jessie:(mean) Hahahahahaha, doing that again would not be a good idea.

Meowth: Dat net reflects everyting back on your own Pokemon.

James: Ok crew, move in on the twerps.

Sarah:(Pulls out a Pokeball) I've got this!

Gloria: I'll back you up when you free the Pokemon.

Sarah:(throws Pokeball) Go! Burnbal!

(Burnbal comes out of it’s ball, ready to teach Team Evil a lesson they may never forget!)

Ash: Get 'em Sarah.

James: Cacturne, Pin Missile!

(Cacturne fires a pin missile at Burnbal)

Sarah:(to herself) If I can think like Ash, I'll be able to pull off the same stunts as he does! (aloud) Burnbal, dodge!

(Burnbal tries to dodge the swiftly moving Pin Missile attack, but is a bit too late. Burnbal is hit by the attack and damaged badly.)

Burnbal:(hurt) Ball...

Sarah:(upset) Burnbal, no!

Jessie:(laughing) You can't stop us!

Gloria: I can!

Meowth: No way!

James: Keep trying, you can't beat us when you're short on Pokemon!

Gloria:(pulls out 5 Pokeballs) Wanna bet?

Team Evil: What!

Ash: She's got six Pokemon!

Gloria:(throws Pokeballs) Bunon! Let's go!

(5 Bunon come out of each Pokeball. Each Bunon is unique in that it’s fur color is a different shade of brown.)

Brock: Whoa!

Gloria: You guys know what to do!

Bunon(all 5): Bunon

(the same orange glow appears in each of their hands. They fire Hyper Beams at Team Evil’s Pokemon. Team Evil’s Pokemon all faint.)

Jessie:(angry) No way, that’s no fair!

James: That’s cheating!

(They put their Pokemon back into their Pokeballs)

Ash:(angry) That’s a taste of your own medicine!

Meowth: He’s right!

Jessie:(angry) Well, we’ll still get away with your Pokemon!

(While Jessie wasn’t noticing. Gloria’s 5 Bunon freed the Pokemon with another Hyper Beam)

James: Oh no, we don’t!

Ash:(angry) Pikachu, you know what to do!

Pikachu:(angry) Piiiiiiikaaaaaaaaachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

(Pikachu fries Team Evil with a Thunderbolt. They blast off toward the horizon.)

Team Evil: Team Evil blasts off again!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Ash: That'll show 'em!

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Gloria: You did very well, Bunon!

Bunon (all 6): Bun, Bunon Bun!

Gloria: I'm so glad!

(She hugs all 6 of her Bunon)

Brock: That's so nice.

Sarah: Yeah.

Ash: I agree, I've never seen anybody so connected to their Pokemon.

Brock: How about you?

Ash:(laughing nervously) Oh, right!

Pikachu: Pika...

-Did you guess the Pokemon? It's Deoxys-

(Scene, the sun sets on the country road. The lake is now pink in color as it sparkles while the sun sets. Ash, Sarah and Brock are ready to depart. Gloria and her 6 Bunon are ready to see them off.)

Ash: So Gloria, we never got to finish our battle.

Gloria: I know, Ash, but I'm positive you would have won.

Ash:(confused) Huh?

Gloria: You have quite an amazing connection with all of your Pokemon, the way Seedy was able to dodge that Hyper Beam was incredible. You deserve to give yourself a pat on the back for that one. (To Bunon) Isn't that right?

Bunon #1: Bunon!

Bunon #2: Bunon!

Ash: Well, I guess we should be going.

Pikachu: Pika!

(They start to walk away, Brock is still there on his knees, holding Gloria's hands.)

Brock: Oh, Gloria, don't think of this as goodbye, just...

(Sarah pulls Brock away from Gloria by the ear)

Sarah:(angry) Let's keep thinking of this as goodbye, and get a move on.

Ash:(to Sarah) Good one.

Brock:(in pain) Ow, my ear.

Gloria:(waving) Goodbye!

Bunon (all 6): Bunon! Bunon!

Ash and Gang: Goodbye!

Narrator: Ash and gang now continue their journey on to Smallplant City, with a new thought in mind. Such a great connection between Pokemon and Trainer is what will get Ash far in this league. It's sure to make an everlasting impression.

End Notes:
Well, hope you enjoyed. Chapter 6 should be posted soon!

[dqle]

Again, nice mixture of details and actions to actually make it like an actual episode. Sorry I haven't kept in contact. Been busy the past few days. Also working on my own fanfic as well.

Keep it up. It's not everyday that Frostweaver reads fanfics.

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:

Well, here it is! For your enjoyment, Chapter 6.

Episode 6: Metapod Madness.

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy
Sarah's Team: Burnbal, Gonbe(Munchlax)
Brock's Team: Ludicolo, Marshtomp, Forretress

Location: Between Everwind and Smallplant

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, the Pokemon Center at the outer edge of a large forest. Ash, Sarah and Brock are sitting in the center, waiting for Ash's Pokemon to heal.)

Narrator: It's yet another good day as our heroes travel on to Smallplant City. They decide that it's time for a well deserved rest at the Pokemon Center.

Brock: So Ash, have you got your strategy for the first gym all set out yet?

Ash: Well, first I need to catch more Pokemon, like maybe that Bunon.

Sarah: Yeah, maybe...

(Suddenly, a young man, about Ash's age, runs into the Pokemon Center. He looks very upset. Ash and the gang are watching him)

Boy:(upset) Nurse Joy! Nurse Joy!

Nurse Joy: Calm down Zachary, now, tell me exactly what happened.

Zach:(still worked up) Well Nurse Joy, it's the Metapod in the forest, they're at it again.

(Ash and the gang overhear this)

Brock:(worried) Uh-oh, this doesn't sound good.

Ash:(curious) Wonder what's up with the Metapod...

-Title theme-

(Ash and Gang approach Zach)

Ash: Excuse me kid, what's wrong with your Metapod.

(Zach spins around)

Zach:(angry) That's none of your business!

Ash:(angry) Hey! We're just trying to be helpful!

Brock: That's right, Ash here used to have a Metapod.

Ash: Yeah...

(The scene changes to a flashback of when his Caterpie evolved into Metapod. He then begins to remember when he fought Samurai using his Metapod, how he defeated Pinsir. He also remembered saving Metapod from the Beedrill. The flashback scene ends, and changes back to the previous scene.)

Zach: Really...

Ash: I only had Metapod for a short time, before it evolved into Butterfree. I'm sure I may be able to help.

Zach: Cool, by the way my name's Zach. I'm the keeper of the forest.

Ash: Nice to meet you Zach, I'm Ash!

Sarah: I'm Sarah, hello.

Brock: And I'm Brock, nice to meet you.

Nurse Joy: Ash, Your Pokemon are ready.

(She comes out with Seedy's Pokeball and Pikachu. Pikachu jumps into Ash's Arms.)

Pikachu:(happy) Pika!

Ash:(determined) All right, now that I have my Pokemon back, let's go!

(Ash and gang, along with Zach, leave the Pokemon Center. Watching them from their Balloon, which is now a Wobbuffet Balloon, is Team Evil)

Meowth: Well, wadda ya know, it's da twerps!

Jessie:(bored) Again? That's the 3rd time we saw them today and haven't done anything. Why don't we just not butt in today.

James:(shocked) Jessie! Have you forgotten our mission already?!

Jessie: What...

James:(angry) We gotta steal the twerps Pikachu!

Meowth: And, maybe some of dere other Pokemon!

Jessie:(bored) Yeah, but did you ever consider we may be wasting our time with them? We always lose…

James:(angry) Well, I for one will not quit!

Jessie: I'm not quitting, I'm just saying we should try something new for a change.

James: Like what?

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

(Jessie returns Wobbuffet to it's Pokeball)

Meowth: We've tried every trick in da book. Robots, holes, nets...

James:(afraid) And I still fear for my safety.

Jessie: Just you wait, this new trick will blow those little brats out of the water!

Team Evil: OK!

Chimecho: 'ding ding'!

(Scene, the forest. Sunlight flitters through the trees. Ash and gang, along with Zach are walking along the forest's dirt path. They suddenly come to a big clearing, which is all grass, colored with different shades of green. Pretty Red and Pink Tulips are also growing in this clearing. Tall Oak trees completely surround the clearing. Spread across the clearing are several Metapod.)

Zach: Well, there they are...

(The Metapod crashing into each other, hopping around, and just acting plain old weird. Almost like they are confused.)

Ash: You guys, let's get to work!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah: Let's figure out what's wrong with these Metapod!

Brock: Let's go!

Zach:(grateful)Thank You. You guys are very enthusiastic!

(Brock picks up one of the Metapod as it wrestles around in it's arms. He feels it's forehead, which is burning hot. Brock cringes as his hand is burned, and he removes it from Metapods forehead immediately.)

Brock:(worried) Not good.

Ash: What is it, Brock?

Brock: This Metapod has a really bad fever!

Zach: It can't be, these Metapod never get sick, and the climate in this forest prevents that from happening.

Sarah: Something else must be causing them to become sick!

Brock: The fever is confusing them, causing them to behave like this.

(He puts down the Metapod as it hops around. That Metapod bumps into another Metapod and angers it, and now all the Metapod have decided to form an angry mob and chase after our heroes.)

Ash: Now what!

Sarah:(scared silly) Run!

(Ash and the gang start to run from the rampaging Metapod)

Brock: All of this confusion has turned to rage!

Sarah:(angry) You think?!

Pikachu: Pika Pika Pi!

Brock:(starting to feel feverish and slow down) Oh, I don't feel so hot.

(Brock faints and falls to the ground. A bead of sweat runs down his forehead.)

Ash:(worried) Brock!

Sarah: Now I know something's up!

Zach: But, what...?

-Who's that Pokemon? HINT: This Pokemon is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tender body.-

(Scene, back at the Pokemon Center. Brock is lying in bed, still unconscious, as Ash, Sarah and Zach look on. Sarah is deep in thought)

Sarah:(curious) How...?

Ash: Don't worry, Sarah, we'll figure it out!

Pikachu: Pika!

Zach: I sure hope so, Ash.

(Nurse Joy walks into the room. Ash runs up to her)

Ash:(worried) Nurse Joy, will Brock be OK?

Nurse Joy: He’ll be fine, he just has a fever.

Zach: Nurse Joy, something in my forest is giving all the Metapod fevers!

Sarah: We can’t figure out what it is!

Nurse Joy: How can that be?

Ash:(angry) I’ve got a feeling Team Evil is behind this!

Sarah: Let’s get back out there!

(They leave the center. After a while of walking along the edge of the forest, Ash stumbles on a little black box. It has a little red E on it.)

Ash: What’s this?

Zach: That’s gotta be it, that must be what’s giving the Metapod fevers!

Sarah: That thing?

Ash: Maybe, just maybe, Team Evil was using that little box.

(After holding it for a while, Ash began to feel a little feverish)

Zach: Ash, you OK?

Ash:(sick) I don’t feel like myself…

Pikachu:(worried) Pika!

Sarah:(takes the box and turns it off) I knew it, that box does make people and Pokemon feel sick, and Team Evil is the only culprit.

(Suddenly, the ground beneath them gives way. Ash, Sarah and Zach fall into a hole. Jessie pops out of the bushes, dancing happily)

Jessie: Hooray! Hoorah! We’ve finally got those twerps!

(James and Meowth walk out of the forest. James has a big burlap sack on his back. Within the sack are all of the sick Metapod.)

Meowth: Dat’s your big plan?!

James:(angry) That’s almost like any other hole we’d dig!

Jessie: This hole’s a few feet deeper so it’d be harder to get out of, isn’t that clever?

Meowth:(to James) I tink she’s gone of the deep end!

James:(to Meowth) She’s off her rocker, no doubt about that!

Jessie:(cheerful) Well Team, let’s take these Metapod away…

Zach: My Metapod!

Sarah:(angry) Team Evil! You were the ones making those Metapod sick, and only so that you could catch them!

Jessie: Well, of course!

James: Hey, Jess, aren’t we forgetting…

Jessie: Right.

(She poses for the motto)

James: Let’s go!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, It’s Metapod for us,

James: And make it double, now we’re in a rush,

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation,

James: To unite all people in every nation,

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love,

James: To extend our reach to the stars above,

Jessie: Jessie,

James: James,

Jessie: Team Evil, causing Havoc at the speed of light!,

James: Surrender to us now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!,

Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Chimecho: ‘ding ding’!

James: One more thing.

(James pulls out an extendable-glove and captures Pikachu. However, the black box made Pikachu too sick to fight back)

Pikachu:(sick) Piiiika.

(Pikachu faints)

Jessie:(laughing) Ha! I love it when we win!

James: Maybe when this is over, we’ll send her to the loony bin.

Meowth: I’m right behind ya, Jimmy!

(Meanwhile, in the hole, Sarah is climbing up the edge, trying to escape)

Sarah: Ash, we need to get out of here

(She notices that Ash has passed out)

Zach: Oh-no, the fever made him faint!

Sarah:(angry) Well, we can’t let them get away with Metapod or Pikachu!

(Sarah starts to climb out of the hole)

Zach: Right!

(Zach also starts to climb out of the hole, with Ash on his back. Meanwhile, Team Evil is running away with a sick Pikachu and several sick Metapod)

Jessie: I’m so excited!

James: Maybe a little too excited!

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

Jessie: Your snide remarks won’t change my mood today!

Meowth: Good, because you won’t believe what we said about ya!

James:(rushes to cover Meowths mouth) Keep your mouth closed! You want her to beat us senseless!

(Suddenly, there is an explosion in front of them. It’s Nurse Joy and Chansey. Chansey had used an Egg Bomb attack.)

Jessie:(angry) Nothing will spoil my good moment!

Nurse Joy: You can’t take those Metapod!

Jessie: Oh, and what are you going to do to stop me?

Sarah:(angry) We’ll stop you!

(Jessie turns around to see Sarah standing there angrily, with Zach and Ash on his back. Zach’s knees are bent, and he looks exhausted)

Nurse Joy:(concerned) Ash!

(Sarah tosses Nurse Joy the black box)

Sarah: Here’s what Team Evil used to make Ash, Brock, Pikachu and the Metapod sick, Nurse Joy!

Nurse Joy:(angry) So!

Jessie:(angry) Oh, I don’t have time for this!

(suddenly, the bag of Metapod tears and several Metapod come pouring out. They look extremely sick)

James: I don’t think we had time for that, either!

Sarah:(throws Pokeball) Burnbal, torch them!

(Burnbal comes out of it’s Pokeball and shoots embers at Team Evil. Team Evil gets hit by some scorching embers. The scream in pain as they are burnt.)

Nurse Joy: Chansey, use egg bomb!

(Chansey throws some eggs at Team Evil. They explode, sending Team Evil blasting off while leaving Pikachu and the Metapod behind.)

Team Evil: Team Evil’s blasting off again!

Wobbuffet: Wobba! Wobbaaaaa!

Sarah:(happy) We did it!

Burnbal: Burnbal! Burn!

Zach: That was great, but the Metapod are still sick!

Nurse Joy: Right, I must take care of the Metapod as well as your friends right away!

-That Pokemon: It was Metapod-

(Scene, inside the Pokemon Center. Ash and Brock are sitting up in their beds, stretching. Sarah, Zach and Nurse Joy walk into the room.)

Ash: Wow, I feel much better.

Brock: And so do I (he races to Nurse Joy) and it’s all thanks to you, my dear!

(Sarah grabs his ear and pulls him away)

Sarah: Oh please! She’s already aware of your undying gratitude.

Ash: So, how are the Metapod, Nurse Joy?

Nurse Joy: The Metapod will turn out OK after all. It’s a good thing we got them in here as soon as we could.

Zach: I want to thank you, Ash, If it weren’t for you then my Metapod wouldn’t have made it.

(Pikachu runs into the room, toward Ash)

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Ash:(happy) Pikachu! (he hugs Pikachu) I’m so glad that you’re OK!

(Suddenly, there is a large flash of light coming from the other room. Ash, Sarah, Brock and Zach watch this flash in awe. Then, the door bursts open and a flock of Butterfree fly in. Ash, Sarah, Brock, Zach and Nurse Joy watch them)

Brock: Where did the Butterfree come from?

Ash: With all of their adventures, the Metapod must have evolved into Butterfree!

Sarah: That’s so awesome!

Zach: Yeah.

(A Butterfree flies up to Sarah and hugs her.)

Sarah: Oh.

Zach: Sarah, I think that Butterfree wants to go with you! I think you should take him. You could become the best of friends, you know…

Sarah: Ok! (She hugs Butterfree) I got a Butterfree!

Ash:(happy) That’s so cool!

Brock: Yes!

(Ash and gang are now leaving the Pokemon Center, waving goodbye to Zach, Nurse Joy and the Butterfree)

Narrator: After yet another amazing, yet sickening adventure, our heroes continue onward to Smallplant City, and Sarah makes yet another friend to accompany her on her quest alongside Ash and Brock. This trip to Smallplant City just might become a bit more interesting.

>To Be Continued

End Notes:

Well, I hope you enjoyed Chapter 6. Keep an eye out for Chapter 7, for it will contain a special surprise. I don't want to give away too much, but I will say this much. An old friend of Ash's will return... (Not Misty, It's a Pokemon.) Anyways, hope you liked this chapter. Keep up those reviews and see you for chapter 7.

[Munchy the Munchlax]

all i have to say is...wow. it was both good and bad at the same time. i found it rather enteratining, but the anime-ish plot has to go. i'm not saying it's a bad story, but i'm also not saying it's good. you did a god job giving detail, though it is still a bit vague. hopefully, you'll throw the anime-ish plot out the window, keeping those characters, and be able to write a stellar fic. scripted or not, this has a chance to be the best.

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:
Well, here is Chapter 7. You might or might not be surprised at who returns. Anyways, enjoy. Please Review...

Episode 7: A Different A-Poach

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy
Sarah's Team: Burnbal, Gonbe(Munchlax), Butterfree
Brock's Team: Ludicolo, Marshtomp, Forretress

Location: Between Everwind and Smallplant

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, a foggy loading dock. There is a boat in the nearest dock; a muscular man stands near the boat. Suddenly, a truck pulls up to the boat. Several cages are piled on top. They contain several Pokemon, one of which is a Pidgeot.)

Man in truck: I got here as fast as I could!

Man near boat:(to self) Rookie... (aloud) Ok, load the cargo onto the boat.

(2 other men start moving the cages onto the boat)

Man in truck:(jumps out of truck) So, where am I headed.

Man near boat: You're to take these Pokemon to the Lento region, and not one is to escape, you got it, Mac.

Mac: I got it!

Man near boat: Great, you'll do good kid, this your first time poaching?

Mac: Yeah!

Man near boat: You'll do fine.

(Next scene, on the boat. The sky is pitch black. The ocean waves are a bit choppy, they rock the boat around. The cage with Pidgeot in it falls and breaks open. Pidgeot flies ahead toward the Lento Region.)

-Title Theme-

(Scene, a dirt road in the Lento Region, with large patches of grass around. Ash and the gang are walking along this road. Sarah is holding onto a Pokeball, almost cuddling it.)

Narrator: Ash and the gang, continue on their journey to Smallplant City. Sarah, having caught a new Butterfree, is driving our heroes crazy!

Sarah:(excited) Yay! I caught a Butterfree! Hurray!

Ash: Rub it in more, why don't ya?

Pikachu: Pika...

Brock: Take it easy Ash, Sarah can be excited about catching a new Pokemon.

Ash:(yelling) She's been going on like that for hours!

Brock: Reminds me of a certain trainer...

Sarah:(pointing ahead) Hey! What's going on?

(Sarah notices several police cars. Officer Jenny, along with several other police officers are standing around)

Brock:(heart-eyed) It's Officer Jenny!

(Brock runs to her, but before he can, Sarah pulls him back)

Sarah: Oh-no you don't! Better stop you before you begin.

(Ash walks up to Jenny)

Ash: Officer Jenny, what's going on?

Jenny: Witnesses reported seeing a Pokemon Poacher pass by here in a truck.

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash: A Pokemon Poacher!

Jenny: You kids be careful, he could be dangerous!

Brock:(still in love) With you around, Jenny, I feel safe and secure.

(Sarah pulls Brock away)

Sarah: Uhhh, I don't think she'll be safe and secure with you here.

Jenny: just continue along as you normally would.

Ash: Ok, let's go guys!

(Ash walks away, while Sarah has to drag a teary-eyed Brock away. Meanwhile, from their Wobbuffet balloon, Team Evil listened in to this bit of information.)

Jessie: Did you guys hear that?

James:(excited) Yes! A poacher for us to poach from!

Meowth: We could start wit da twerps, you know!

Jessie: And we will, relax Meowth.

Meowth: Whatever...

James: But don't you remember our last encounter with a Pokemon Poacher?

Jessie: We can't be afraid of them, we're even more diabolical then they are.

Meowth: And more evil!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

(Jessie is still watching Ash and the gang walk along the path)

Jessie: Any second now...

(Meanwhile, Ash and the gang are walking along the road.)

Ash: I can't believe it, another poacher!

Brock: Better leave it alone, Ash!

(Suddenly, the ground gives way underneath our heroes. The gang falls into a hole.)

Jessie: Got 'em!

James:(dismayed) Another hole...?

Jessie: We get closer and closer each time!

Ash: It's Team Evil!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, In the hole you go,

James: And Make it double, Jess, say it isn’t so,

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation,

James: To unite all peoples...do we always need to use holes?,

Jessie:(getting angry) To denounce the evils of truth and love,

James: To extend our reach...you know, holes are so overrated,

Jessie:(angry) Jessie,

James: Ja...ok, not to sound foolish, but...,

Jessie:(furious) That's It! Do The Motto Right!,

James:(scared)Uh,...Surrender to us now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!,

Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Ash: Team Evil!

Pikachu: Pikachu, Pi!

Jessie: You know what we want, twerp, so let's make this easy!

James: Hand over Pikachu!

(Suddenly, the same Pidgeot from the beginning of the episode, rushes out of nowhere and bursts Team Evils balloon. They blast off)

TE: We're blasting off already!

(Ash and gang climb out of the hole and look up at Pidgeot)

Sarah: Wow, a Pidgeot for me to catch!

Ash: That's quite a big one, I'd like to catch it!

Sarah:(upset) But I called it!

Brock: Let Ash catch a Pokemon, he deserves it!

Ash: Ok...

(Pidgeot lands on the ground and rubs up against Ash. Ash seems surprised, but Pidgeot is actually very excited.)

Sarah:(scared) Oh-No! It's gonna eat Ash!

Brock: No, I think it's... could it be?

Ash: Pidgeot, is that you old buddy!

Pidgeot:(excited) Pidgeot!

Ash:(happily, he hugs Pidgeot) It is you, oh how've you been old buddy?

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Sarah:(surprised) You mean that big bird is your Pokemon?

(Sarah pulls out her Pokedex)

Pokedex: Pidgeot, the bird Pokemon, Pidgeot spreads its beautiful wings wide to frighten its enemies. It can fly at Mach 2 speed. Its well-developed chest muscles make it strong enough to whip up a gusty windstorm with just a few flaps.

Sarah: It's an amazing Pokemon.

Ash: I've had Pidgeot pretty much since the beginning of my journey. When it was a Pidgeotto.

Pidgeot:(in a frenzy) Pidgeot! Pi Pi Pidgeot! Pidgeot Pidgeot!

Ash: What is it Pidgeot?

Pidgeot:(in a frenzy) Pi Pi! Pidgeot! Pid Pidgeot!

Ash: I see, I understand...

Sarah:(shocked) Ash can communicate with Pokemon.

Brock: When you've been around Pokemon as much as Ash, you can understand everything your Pokemon is trying to say. It’s a great skill to have!

Ash:(to Sarah and Brock) Everything's not good, Pidgeot says that the Pokemon Poacher stole the Pidgey and Pidgeotto from the Viridian Forest!

Pikachu:(shocked) Pika!

Brock:(angry) No way!

Sarah: We should stay out of this, like Officer Jenny said.

Ash: No way!, we gotta save Pidgeot's friends!

Sarah:(yelling) Ash, you're crazy!

Brock: We've done some crazier stuff than this before.

Ash: You ready, Pidgeot?

Pidgeot: Pidgeot!

(Ash climbs on top of Pidgeot. Pidgeot begins to flap it’s wings, and starts to fly away at top speed. Brock and Sarah run to keep up)

Ash:(to self) Here we come, you guys.

(Meanwhile, the poacher can be seen, driving his truck. There are many cages in the back filled with Pidgey and Pidgeotto. All of a sudden, Team Evil crashes into the back of the truck.)

Jessie:(sore) Just our luck, crashing in a hard place!

(Jessie looks around at all the cages.)

James: Looks like we did get lucky!

Meowth: Heisted Pokemon for us to Heist!

(They laugh loudly.)

-Who's that Pokemon? Here's a hint: This Pokemon is so quick, it is said to be able to avoid any attack. It loves to feed on tree sap.-

(The poacher’s truck stops, he gets out to look in the back. Team Evil hides under a blanket.)

Mac: Who's there?

(Mac looks around the back. Suddenly, Wobbuffet comes out of its ball)

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Jessie:(angry) You idiot! You just blew our cover!

Mac: Who are you guys?!

James: We're members from Team Evil!

Meowth: And these Pokemon are ours!

Mac: Really? I don't see your name on any of them...

James:(whispering) Jess, he's got us there...

Jessie:(angry) I won't let a punk like him beat me!

(Team Evil jumps out of the back of the truck)

Mac: You're asking for trouble, aren't you?

James: No need to ask, when we can just give!

(Team Evil pulls out their Pokeballs)

Mac:(throws his Pokeball) Go! Darkfuzz!

(The Pokeball opens and a fairly large, grey ball of fuzz appears in front of Team Evil. This big ball of fuzz has large, white eyes and red shoes. It looks extremely angry.)

Darkfuzz: Fuzzzzz!

Jessie:(throws her Pokeball) Seviper! Use poison tail!

(Seviper comes out of the Pokeball, its tail glows purple)

Mac: Darkfuzz, Use Block!

Darkfuzz: Fuzzzzz!

(Darkfuzz grabs Sevipers tail. It is unaffected by the attack)

Jessie:(angry) You think you've got guts, eh?

Mac: You don't know who you're messing with!

James: Maybe he's right!

Jessie:(angry) Who's side are you on!?

Mac: Darkfuzz, finish it!

(Darkfuzz rushes at Seviper. Suddenly a whirlwind knocks Darkfuzz back.)

Jessie: What?!

Mac: What?!

(Ash is riding on Pidgeot, Sarah and Brock stand nearby, panting from exhaustion from running.)

Brock:(angry) You must be that poacher!

Sarah:(angry) Let those Pokemon go!

Mac:(angry) No way!

James: It's the twerps!

Meowth: We need to get out of here!

Jessie:(angry) I'm not going anywhere! Not until I get those Pokemon!

Ash:(angry) Pidgeot!, Use wing attack!

(Pidgeot preps for a wing attack. It strikes Team Evil and Seviper with amazing force. They blast off)

Jessie:(dismayed) Not again!

James: Wiped out of the picture.

Meowth: Maybe, it's for da best!

(Wobbuffet and Chimecho come out of their Pokeballs)

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

Chimecho: 'ding'

TE: Team Evil's blasting off yet again!

(Ash and Pidgeot land, and Ash climbs off of his Pokemon)

Mac: Well, what do we have here, a little runt?

Ash: Let those Pokemon go, they belong in the Viridian Forest!

Mac:(sarcastic) Sure, I'll let them go!

(Sarah notices Darkfuzz)

Sarah:(curious) What is that?

(She checks the Pokedex)

Pokedex: Darkfuzz, the fuzz ball Pokemon. Darkfuzz can easily be mistaken for grey cotton. It's fuzz can be used to weave cloth. It can easily hide in the darkness and not be seen, becoming virtually invisible.

Brock: Ash! Be careful!

Ash:(confident) I know what I'm doing.

Mac: Darkfuzz, use Mega Punch!

Darkfuzz: Fuzzzzz!

(Darkfuzz sends a Mega Punch Pidgeot's way.)

Ash: Pidgeot, dodge it!

(Pidgeot flies upward)

Mac: Darkfuzz, go after it!

(Darkfuzz jumps upward, very high. It strikes Pidgeot with it’s Mega Punch. Pidgeot, however, shakes it off.)

Ash: Pidgeot, use Gust!

Pidgeot: Pidgeot!

(Pidgeot flaps it’s wings hard, causing a strong gust. It nearly blows Darkfuzz away).

Mac: Darkfuzz, give it a Crunch attack, go!

(Darkfuzz bears it’s jaws and goes after Pidgeot.)

Sarah: Look out!

Brock: A Crunch attack is very strong!

(Darkfuzz gets ready to bite down on Pidgeot, but it misses and falls back down to the ground, hurting itself.)

Ash: Pidgeot, use Whirlwind!

(Pidgeot blows a strong whirlwind, blowing Darkfuzz into a tree.)

Mac: No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ash:(confident) Heh, now to show you that I do my homework! Pidgeot, use Hurricane!

Brock:(surprised) Hurricane? It can learn Hurricane?!

(Pidgeot blows a gust toward the sky. Suddenly the sky grows dark. Rain starts to pour, thunder begins to clap, and the wind gusts hard.)(Side note: Hurricane is a brand new move in my game and one of few moves with multi-types, that being Flying, Water, and Electric)

Mac:(shocked) What the…?

Ash: All right, Pidgeot, give it all you got!

(Pidgeot is still blowing gusts into the sky. Suddenly, Thunder strikes Darkfuzz, shocking it. Darkfuzz faints as the sky clears up again)

Mac: Darkfuzz, no way!

(Mac runs up to his Pokemon as Ash and gang look on)

Ash: The reason you lost is because you apparently have no friendly connection with Pokemon. When you’re kind to Pokemon, both of you are a lot stronger!

Pikachu: Pika!

Brock: That’s right, everybody has to be kind to Pokemon.

Sarah: And stealing isn’t being kind to Pokemon!

Mac:(angry) You’ll pay!

Jenny:(out of nowhere) Hold on!

(Suddenly, Mac is surrounded by police.)

Mac: I will not surrender!

Jenny: You’re left with no choice!

(Officer Jenny puts Mac in handcuffs. While this is going on, the other police officers open the cages, and the Pidgey and Pidgeotto fly away. Jenny turns to Ash and the gang.)

Jenny: I can’t thank you enough for helping me catch this poacher!

Brock:(heart eyed) How about being in love with me!

(Sarah drags him away)

Sarah: How about, she has enough problems!

Jenny: Thanks Ash!

Ash: Oh, I owe it all to Pidgeot!

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Pidgeot: Pidgeot!

-That Pokemon: It’s Ninjask-

(Scene, the sun sets in the horizon. Ash and the gang stand opposite Pidgeot. Playing in the background is the music from Pokemon 4-Ever, when Sam goes back in time.)

Ash: Well, Pidgeot, you’re friends are going home.

Pidgeot: Pidgeot!

Ash: And you should too, they still need you Pidgeot!

Brock: Ash, are you sure? You did make that promise to Pidgeot you’d be back.

Ash: I know. (Turns to Pidgeot) And I will be back, but for now, you belong in the Viridian Forest. Those Pokemon still need you.

Pikachu: Pika Pi!

Pidgeot: Pidgeot!

(Ash hugs Pidgeot)

Ash:(sad) I’ll miss you Pidgeot, as I always do!

Sarah:(crying) That’s so sweet!

Pidgeot:(sad) Pidgeot!

(Pidgeot flies toward the horizon. As Ash watches, he begins to flashback on the times they shared. Music changes to “My Best Friend”. Ash remembers when he first captured Pidgeotto. First using Caterpie to weaken it and then Pikachu. He then throws a Pokeball at Pidgeotto, and captures it. Next, Ash battles Misty’s Starmie with Pidgeotto in Cerulean Gym. Next, is all of the Pidgeotto creating a whirlwind on the St. Anne. Then, Ash pats Pidgeotto after a victory at Viridian Gym. It ends with Ash’s Pidgeotto evolving to Pidgeot, and defeating Fearow.)

Ash:(crying) Pidgeot!, I’ll miss you.

Brock: Come on, Ash, let’s go on!

Ash:(determined) Right! To Smallplant City!

Narrator: After quite the adventure with an old friend, Ash and his best friends continue the journey to Smallplant City, not knowing what adventure lies on the road ahead.

Authors Notes:
Well, here is Chapter 8 of Pokemon: Lento Legends. In this episode, Ash captures his first Lento Pokemon, a Bunon. Please review, so I can know if I still need improving. Anyways, I will be taking a short break to edit the rest of the episodes and to write more. Enjoy!

Episode 8: Go On, Bunon!

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy
Sarah's Team: Burnbal, Munchlax, Butterfree
Brock's Team: Ludicolo, Marshtomp, Forretress

Location: Between Everwind and Smallplant

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, an open field. Sarah and Butterfree are practicing some of Butterfrees moves as Ash, Pikachu and Brock watch from a distance, eating some of Brock's delicious cooking while sitting on a hollow log.)

Sarah: Ok, Butterfree let me see a Gust attack!

Butterfree: Freeh!

(Butterfree blows a fairly light gust attack at Sarah. It's gentle as it blows at Sarah's long, black hair)

Sarah:(excited) Alright! That was too cool!

Ash:(agreeing) It was Sarah, your Butterfree is awesome!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Brock: I agree.

Sarah: Thanks you guys!

(Ash, Sarah and Brock continue to talk as the narrator speaks.)

Narrator: Still on a quest to become Pokemon Master. Ash and his friends take a pit stop on the road to Smallplant City, so that Sarah can show them all that her Butterfree can do. And what an impressive show it was!

Ash:(curious) So, Sarah, do you plan on entering any gyms?

Sarah: No...

Ash:(shocked) Eh?

Brock: How about contests?

Sarah: Nope...

Brock:(also shocked) Huh?

Ash: Then, what are your goals?

(Sarah whips out a small, white brochure from her green handbag. There is a picture of a large, purple building on the front, with a Pokeball on the front of the building. This building is surrounded by tall, grey skyscrapers.)

Sarah: This!

Butterfree: Beee...Freeh! (Ash takes and looks over the Brochure.)

Ash:(reading) Yearly battle club tournament in Bluerock City?...

Brock:(reading) …Winner will receive, whoa! $2,000.

Ash:(reading) They will also be known as Top Class Pokemon trainers!

Sarah:(determined) That's right, I hope someday to be a Top Class Pokemon trainer!

Brock: Well, I think that's a great goal!

Pikachu: Pika!

(Without the gang noticing, a shady Pokemon is stealing their food.)

Sarah:(surprised) Uh, guys, turn around!

(Ash and Brock turn around to see that their food is being eaten by a Bunon!)

All: Ahhhhh!

Ash: It's a Bunon!

-Title Theme-

Brock:(crying) My perfect meal, ruined...

Ash: I'm gonna catch it!

(Bunon runs off into the bushes.)

Sarah:(sarcasm) Yes Ash, you will catch it.

Ash:(crying out) Bunon, wait!

(Ash runs after Bunon. Brock and Sarah follow.)

Brock: Ash, wait up.

Ash:(Pulls out and throws Pokeball) Seedy, go stop Bunon!

(Seedy comes out of the ball. It seems ready for a battle.)

Seedy: Seedy! Seed!

(Seedy jumps in Bunons way, stopping it in its tracks. Ash and gang catch up)

Ash: Bunon, I request a battle!

(Bunon looks at Ash)

Sarah:(concerned) Ash, what if Bunon has a trainer?

Brock: Yeah, remember Gloria. She had a Bunon.

Ash: And I will have this Bunon!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Brock: But look...

(Ash turns around to see Seedy knocked down and Bunon running away. Ash continues to pursue it. Seedy gets up and follows them)

Ash:(yelling) Stop Bunon! I want a battle!

(Meanwhile, Team Evil watches this from their balloon)

Jessie: Look at those twerps, always on some sort of wild goose chase.

James: Looks like this time, it's a Bunon, not a goose.

Meowth: A Bunon, huh?

Jessie: I love the sound of that!

James: But Jess, remember the last time we encountered that fur ball.

Jessie: Yes, James, remember the last time we encountered that fur ball.

(James and Meowth grin menacingly)

Meowth: I get da big picture, Jess!

Jessie: Perfect, then we will make Bunon ours!

James: Then, we'll be the stars.

J, J & M:(starry eyed) Big Promotions, Big Cash Bonuses! It'll be a Bunon bonanza!

Wobbuffet: Wobba, Wobba!

(Meanwhile, Ash and the Gang continue to run after Bunon)

Ash:(angry) I've had enough! Pikachu, Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

(Pikachu aims and shoots a thunderbolt in front of Bunon. It stops and turns around to scowl at Ash)

Ash: Sorry I had to do that Bunon, but I want a battle.

(Bunon then jumps up and angrily doubleslaps Ash)

Bunon:(angry) Bunon! Bunon!

Ash:(angry) What was that for?

Sarah: Ash, careful.

Brock: I think it’s angry!

Sarah: Ok, genius, what gave you that idea!

Ash:(angry) I just want to capture you!

(Bunon runs off again. Ash follows it)

Sarah: Ash!

Ash: Bunon, please wait.

(Suddenly, the ground below gives way. Ash is starting to slide down a cliff)

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash: Ahhhhh!

(Ash grabs onto a twig on the side of the cliff. The drop isn’t that far, but Ash doesn’t want to fall)

Brock:(concerned) Ash, just hang on, we’ll get you back up here!

Ash: I hope so…

-Who’s that Pokemon? Here’s a hint: Its rear feet have three toes each. They are webbed, enabling it to swim across rivers.-

(Scene, Team Evil’s balloon, they are watching all of these events as they unfold)

James: Well, we’ve caught up to the twerp patrol!

Meowth: But no sign of dat Bunon!

Jessie:(impatient) We have to find it, no matter how long it takes us!

James: It shouldn’t have gotten too far from here!

(Meowth Spots it through the binoculars. Bunon is also hanging on for dear life, on another twig below Ash.)

Meowth: Dere it is yous guys, Dere’s dat Bunon!

Jessie: Perfect, James you know what to do!

James: Right, extendable glove plan in action!

Jessie:(sighs) Do what you gotta do…

(Meanwhile, Sarah sends out her Butterfree in an attempt to rescue Ash)

Ash:(scared) Hurry, I feel the twig cracking!

Brock: Sarah, hurry!

Sarah:(nervous) Ok! (Turns to Butterfree) Butterfree, go help Ash!

Butterfree: Freeh!

(It swoops down to go help Ash! It then notices Bunon holding onto another twig)

Ash: Bunon, you should’ve just given me a battle!

Bunon:(upset and scared) Bunon… Bunon!

(Ash seems sad about what Bunon is now going through. He sees the scared look in Bunons face.)

Pikachu: Pika!

Ash: Bunon, I won’t let anything happen to you, you don’t have to worry! (He turns around) I… I can’t let anything happen to you.

Bunon: Bun…

Butterfree: Freeh, Freeh

(Ash notices that Butterfree has made it to his eye level. Butterfree is telling Ash to grab onto its feet)

Ash: Hold on, Butterfree.

(Ash jumps downward, toward Bunon. He slides down the steep hill a bit, but his feet manage to get a good grip on the ground.)

Brock:(yelling) Ash! What are you doing?

(Ash takes Bunon in his arms.)

Ash: I won’t let anything happen to Bunon.

(Ash grabs hold of the twig Bunon was grasping onto.)

Sarah: Ash, that Bunon ate our food, and he got you into this mess. How can you be so nice to it after all that?

Brock: Ash actually has quite the soft spot for any Pokemon. When you’re a Pokemon Trainer like him, that’s essential.

Sarah: I still think it’s crazy.

Brock: Although you need to fight hard against opponents, having that soft spot for Pokemon, and learning when a Pokemon has had enough is what’ll make you a true winner. Remember that, and you’ll become a Top Class Pokemon Trainer.

(Sarah looks at him wide eyed)

Sarah:(yelling to Ash) Hang on to Bunon, Butterfree will help you!

Ash: Thanks Sarah!

(suddenly, an extendable glove snatches Bunon from Ash’s arms)

Brock: Oh-No!

(Team Evil descends in their balloon)

Jessie: Well, what do we have here? Twerp on the edge?

Meowth: Well, Bunon’s in our court now!

Ash:(angry) Team Evil!

Pikachu:(angry) Pika!

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, The end is near,

James: And make it double, are we crystal clear?,

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation,

James: To unite all people in every nation,

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love,

James: To extend our reach to the stars above,

Jessie: Jessie,

James: James,

Jessie: Team Evil, causing Havoc at the speed of light!,

James: Surrender to us now or prepare to fight, fight, fight!,

Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Chimecho: ‘ding ding’!

Ash: Team Evil, you never know when to give up, do you?!

Bunon:(scared) Bunnnnnnon!

James: Relax, twerp, today we thought we’d do something right.

Meowth: We’d take a wild Pokemon of your hands for ya!

Jessie: Besides, catching this wild Pokemon is more fun than being zapped by your trained Pikachu!

James: This Bunon can’t be a bother anymore!

Ash:(angry) Bunon is not a bother! You are!

Jessie: Wrong!

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

(Jessie returns it to its Pokeball.)

Jessie: Well, if you meant Wobbuffet, I see what you mean…

Ash:(more angry) Give back Bunon!

(Ash makes the Leap of Faith and grabs onto the extendable glove and holds onto Bunon)

Team Evil: Oh no, not you!

Sarah:(nervous) Ash!

Brock: Watch out!

Ash:(to Bunon) I won’t let them take you away, Bunon!

Bunon:(grateful) Bunon…

Jessie:(angry) Get him out of here James!

James:(Holding a remote control) Have you ever heard of my dance, I call it the swing!

(James, while laughing, moves the joystick on the control in all directions. The extendable glove swings round and round)

Meowth: James, I tink da swing’s a real dance.

James: Oh, well I guess whoever made it up wouldn’t mind me using it!

Jessie: I mind you using it…

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Chimecho: ‘ding’

Ash:(to himself) It’s worth a shot…

(He gets Bunon out of Team Evil’s grip. Once the glove swings closest to the cliff, he makes yet another leap of faith, and lands on the edge. Sarah and Brock pull him up)

James: Hey, no fair. (He pulls out his Pokeball and throws it) Cacturne, use Pin Missile. (Cacturne comes out, and hugs James) No, not me you big lug, the twerps!

Jessie: (Pulls out her Pokeball) Go Seviper!

(Seviper comes out of its ball and he and Cacturne land on the cliff, ready for battle!)

Ash:(to Bunon) Ready Bunon?

(Music switches to Pokemon Heroes – Hot on the Trail Music, also heard when Misty uses Gyarados in ‘A Togepi Mirage’)

Bunon: Bunon!

Ash: Bunon, start with a Tackle!

(Bunon rushes at Seviper and hits it hard and direct with a Tackle. Seviper swaggers backwards a little.)

Seviper:(in pain) Seviper!

Jessie: Seviper, Poison Tail. (Seviper shakes off its damage rather easily.)

James: Cacturne, use Needle Arm!

(Seviper and Cacturne rush at Bunon with their attacks. Sevipers tail glows Purple, while Cacturnes arms glow white.)

Ash: Bunon, dodge it!

(Bunon dodges both attacks with ease, and rather quickly too. It does a 360 degree back flip in the air before landing on its feet, and taking a bow.)

Sarah: Wow, Ash is good with Bunon!

Brock: That he is!

Jessie:(angry) Ohhhh, Seviper use Bite attack!

(Seviper gets ready for a bite attack. It bears it's large, red fangs.)

Ash: Bunon, dodge it!

(Bunon jumps out of the way, yet again, and bounces on Sevipers head.)

James: Cacturne, go get it!

(Cacturne rushes at Bunon, but Bunon also dodges that)

Jessie: It’s fast, now I really want that Pokemon!

Ash:(angry) But you can’t have it! (To Bunon) Use Hyper Beam!

Bunon: Buuuuuunnnnnnn!

(Bunon begins to charge up its Hyper Beam attack)

James: It’s all over…

Meowth: Oh, don’t say dat!

James: It is, It’s all over…

(Bunon fires a Hyper Beam at Seviper and Cacturne. They fly into the balloon, thus bursting it and sending Team Evil blasting off)

Meowth: Well…

James: Didn’t I tell you it would be all over?

James: Oh, shut it the both of you!

Wobbuffet: Wobba!

Team Evil: Team Evil’s blasting off again!

Ash:(excited) Bunon, you were great!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Sarah: Yes you were!

Brock: Right!

Ash: Alright, Bunon, can we have that battle now?

Bunon:(happily) Bunon

(He agrees)

-Who’s that Pokemon answer: Raticate-

(Scene, near the cliff. Bunon falls to the ground fainted. It was Thunder bolted by Pikachu, who stands opposite it. Ash pulls out a Pokeball.)

Ash:(throws the Pokeball) Go, Pokeball!

(The Pokeball hits Bunon and it disappears into it. The Pokeball wobbles 'to and fro' for a few seconds before it pings. Ash picks it up) Alright, I caught Bunon!

Pikachu:(Peace sign) Pi! Pikachu!

Brock: You’ll make a great trainer for Bunon, Ash!

Sarah: Yes, he will!

(Ash releases Bunon. It happily jumps into Ash’s arms. Ash hugs Bunon as it freeze-frames on that picture)

Narrator: With a new friend on his team, Ash and the gang will now, once again, continue on the road to Smallplant City, where Ash will earn his first gym badge in the Lento region.

[rubyrulez]

Authors Notes:
Nothing much to say here... here's chapter 9!

Episode 9: Single, Double, Trinple

Ash's Team: Pikachu, Seedy, Bunon
Sarah's Team: Burnbal, Munchlax, Butterfree
Brock's Team: Ludicolo, Marshtomp, Forretress

Location: Between Everwind and Smallplant

Lento Badges: 0

(Scene, a country road looking down on a small town. There are several light yellow houses, with blue roofs. There are several, intertwining roads with a park in the middle. There are several battlefields in the park. There is also a Pokemon Center near the middle of the town. Ash, Sarah and Brock look down at this town. Brock is reading his trusty Lento guidebook.)

Ash:(excited) All right! We made it to Smallplant City!

Sarah: Uhhh, Ash?

Ash:(determined) Finally, we’ll battle in our first gym match!

Sarah: Ash?

Ash: I can smell the sweet scent of victory! Can you smell that Pikachu?

Pikachu:(confused) Pika?

Sarah:(yelling) ASH!

Ash: Ow, why so loud?

Sarah: That’s not Smallplant city!

Brock: It’s Trinple Town.

Ash:(hangs head) I should have known!

-Title Theme-

(Scene, Ash and Gang are now walking down a road in the town. Ash has a look of confusion on his face.)

Narrator: After a long walk and a bit of confusion, our heroes arrive in Trinple Town, a short pit-stop on their journey to Smallplant City, where Ash hopes to earn his first Lento badge.

Ash:(confused) I can’t believe I got confused.

Sarah: It happens to the best of us, sometimes!(She notices Brock is missing) Hey, where is Brock?

Brock:(heart eyed, hitting on a girl with red hair and green eyes. She is very pretty.) Hi there, my name is Brock and I feel that we’d make the perfect match.

(Sarah grabs Brocks ear and drags him away)

Sarah:(angry) Why don’t you match your clothes, rather than girls? (She lets go) Is that really any way to behave?

Brock:(drops head anime style) No maam…

Sarah: I thought not!

Ash: Let’s find the Pokemon Center, so we can rest up to get to Smallplant City. It shouldn’t be too far! (Scene, the gang is now in the Pokemon Center. Ash is in a state of shock, a bead of sweat rolls down his face) WHAT! Smallplant is another 5 miles!

Nurse Joy: Smallplant City is a ways away, but it’s not as far as most people think!

Brock: He’s gonna run into problems!

Pikachu: Pika…

Nurse Joy: Well while you’re here, why don’t you visit Battle Square?

Ash: Battle Square?

Sarah: I’ve heard of Battle Square! It’s that big park we saw when we got here! We can have a Pokemon Battle there!

Ash:(determined) Sounds great to me!

Brock: Nurse Joy, you snapped my friend out of that funk!

Nurse Joy:(flattered) Oh, it was nothing…

Brock:(Entering hit-on-girl mode) Now that’s the type of quality I look for in a girl. One that can snap your best friend out of a funk!

(Sarah drags Brock away by the ear)

Sarah:(angry) Tell me, how do we snap you out of THIS funk!

Ash:(waving) Bye, Nurse Joy!

Pikachu: Pikachu!

Nurse Joy: Bye!

(Scene, Battle Square. Ash stands on one side of one of the Battlefields, while Sarah stands on the other side. The battlefield is surrounded by park benches and trees. Brock stands off to the side, ready to judge the match.)

Ash:(determined) So, you think you can beat me? This’ll be perfect practice for my gym match!

Pikachu: Pika!

Sarah:(determined) Don’t count on it, Ash! This victory will bring me one step closer to Top Class Pokemon trainer status!

Brock: Each trainer is allowed one Pokemon! The trainer to make the other Pokemon faint is the winner. Let this battle begin!

Ash:(throws a Pokeball) Bunon let’s go!

(Bunon comes out of the Pokeball. It’s a little feisty and ready for a battle.)

Bunon: Bun, Bunon!

Sarah:(Throws a Pokeball) Butterfree, let’s go!

(Butterfree comes out of its Pokeball. It spins around in Mid-Air gracefully.)

Brock:(yelling) Begin!

Ash: Bunon, let’s start with Tackle!

Bunon: Bun!

(Bunon rushes at Butterfree, prepared for a head-on tackle attack.)

Sarah: Dodge it, and use gust!

(As Bunon jumps at Butterfree, it flies out of the way, and starts to create a gust by flapping its wings rapidly. The gust throws Bunon off its course)

Ash: Bunon, try another Tackle

(Bunon shakes off the Gust, and Tackles Butterfree. Butterfree stops using gust.)

Sarah:(concerned) Butterfree!

Ash: Bunon,
