FOREWORD
Ok, as some of you know, I've changed this Fic around and around several times. Basically, I don't believe in doing the exact same thing twice, so the changes on my part were borne out of necessity. But I believe I might have finally gotten the main plot ironed out to a workable storyline. Ironic that they say "third time's a charm", but in this case, they might be right.
Now, being a 'Series' does mean that this one will be written in SCRIPT FORMAT. Don't let this discourage you from reading. I've been playing D&D for about ten years now, so I know how to narrate a situation. Of course, I also don't want to bore you to death with unimportant details, so I'm going to assume you all know what the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Edition Pokemon look like, so I'll just be using their names. I'll also assume you know what Ash and the group (all of the main cast) look like.
Summary: It all starts out like a normal day for Ash and the gang until a mysterious stranger out of the blue asks them for help. Then, without warning, their world is turned upside down and everything they know is changed forever. Before they know it, the group finds themselves placing their faith in a complete stranger with a shrouded past, who could save the world, or tear it apart forever.
THE END OF AN ERA!
THE DAWN OF A NEW AGE!
AN ORIGINAL TRAINER FIC BEYOND ALL IMAGINATION!
That was the teaser for the series that you're about to begin reading, called 'Neo Destiny', an ongoing series intended to be both an original Trainer Fic, and one of the biggest battles in Pokemon history. As someone that I met so eloquently put it, this is Pokemon like you've never seen it before. No Anime crossovers, no video game rip-offs, no CHEAP VICTORIES THROUGH INTERVENTION BY MISCELLANEOUS CHARACTERS (like most episodes), no dime-a-dozen-throw-away-robots, and definitely no kiddie ride.
This is both what I think Pokemon SHOULD BE, and what the characters would do if some really catastrophic event were to occur. This definitely ISN'T HARDCORE though. There is still going to be alot of light-heartedness to it. This is just Pokemon with a more serious edge. The teaser may not be the exact truth, but as a friend of mine once said, it's close enough to keep you interested.
Just to let you know, this will be a very involving storyline, so it might be fairly easy to get lost, especially later on. Also, if something doesn't make sense, keep reading. The story will likely come back to it later. If you have any questions you can post them here, and I'll either answer them truthfully, or make something up and tweak the story accordingly. Despite that, I might make a mistake with a Pokemon name or an attack, or in my haste, I might misspell a word. If so, feel free to correct me. And constructive criticism is ALWAYS appreciated. After all, I'm only human.
That said, I don't own Pokemon, nor do I attempt to say that Ash and the other characters except Chezni and a few others are mine. So if Nintendo or Game Freaks are reading this, please don't sue me for what I'm about to do to the world of Pokemon. You have been warned.
Now, without further delay, I bring you the yet-again revised:
POKEMON: Neo Destiny: Beyond Time and Space
Key:
______=Insert Commercial
Prologue of Episode 1
Scene: A fairly large room with many consoles lining the far back wall. A screen on the opposite end of the room is showing footage of what appears to be two armies clashing in front of some kind of military base. It isn't close enough to see in detail, but many of the soldiers appear to be firing strange blue and red energy blasts out of their hands. As the camera zooms out, a blue-haired youth that looks to be around 17 or 18 can be seen watching the screen. His hair seems to be spiked on end and drapes slightly over his green eyes. His suit is a silver and blue color with the emblem of 'NW' on it. After a second, a voice echoes from the direction of the console.
Voice: Are you sure about this Chezni?
Chezni: If not me, then who? Besides, I have a promise to keep. I have to survive this, no matter how insane it gets...
Scene: Chezni, the blue haired man suddenly has a concerned look about him. Slowly, he turns to face the direction that the voice is coming from.
Voice: You care that much about her, and you haven't even told her about your feelings?
Chezni: It's not that simple Eden. Every time I try... I just freeze... It's like I have 10 heart attacks in a row.
Scene: A strange white gem can be seen floating toward Chezni. It is the source of Eden's voice. As it speaks, a faint glow emanates from the gem.
Eden: Well... I'm no expert, but you should try to at least drop her some sort of HINT!
Chezni: Maybe... <A whirring sound can be heard followed by a clang.> Oh, looks like it's time.
Scene: The scene switches to what appears to be dark room. Lights begin turning on all around and it becomes apparent that it isn't a room, but a ****pit of some sort. The view outside of the ****pit is still pitch black though. Chezni sits in the pilot's seat, and Eden rests on what appears to be a console in front of Chezni.
Chezni: Have you scanned the area?
Eden: You know I have. The Wormhole doesn't appear to contain hostile lifeforms in it but...
Chezni: That's about as accurate as saying Earth doesn't rotate from west to east...
Female Voice: Are you ready Chezni?
Scene: A girl with long blue hair can be seen through the console in front of Chezni. She appears to be around Chezni's age and is more slender. Her blue and teal uniform also displays the 'NW' insignia on it.
Chezni: Any time Neina.
Neina: Ok. Here we go. Opening Launch Bay 1.
Scene: An opening can be seen in front of where Chezni is sitting, as light shines into the hangar. An enornous purple mass can be seen in the distance, as the hangar opens completely.
Chezni: Now, we pray...
Scene: A shot of the outside of the hangar reveals that the building is an enormous space colony. After a second, a vague white ship launches from the building.
Episode 1: Journey to a New World
Scene: The scene switches to the outskirts of Saffron City. It is midday, as Ash, Misty, Brock, Max, and May are having a little picnic. Naturally, Pikachu is sitting next to Ash, who is telling Misty all about what's been happening while she was gone.
Ash: So, at this point I'm thinking that I lost Pikachu for good, you know? He was totally out of control. Good thing Lance was there to help, or else it might have been the end of us.
Pikachu: <Munching on some Pokemon food> Pika...
Misty: I had no idea that such a powerful Water Pokemon existed... But it's good to see that it all turned out alright in the end.
Ash: Yeah, now we won't have to worry about those two orbs anymore at least...
Brock: <As he's chowing down on a sandwich> Yeah, I tell you, trouble seems to just follow us around. And it isn't always just Team Rocket...
Ash: Speaking of which, I haven't seen them for a couple weeks. We're probably due to run into them pretty soon.
Max: No kidding. I bet they'll pop up any second...
Scene: As if on cue, Jessie, James and Meowth pop up from behind some bushes that are so conveniently placed near the picnic. They quietly examine Ash and the gang, as they plot their next move, being careful not to be noticed.
James: <Eyeballing the feast that is lining the picnic area> Look at all that food... Surely, they can't eat all of it by themselves.
Jessie: Forget the food, you glutton... Look at who's with them... Pikachu, and he's totally defensless.
Meowth: Well, dat depends on your definition of 'defenseless'... If ya mean able to electrocute anyone dat nabs him, den yeah...
Scene: Both James and Meowth reminisce the many times they've felt the sting of Pikachu's Thunderbolt.
Jessie: Well, for your information, I finally have a foolproof way of neutralizing ALL of Pikachu's attacks.
James: You say that in EVERY episode.
Jessie: Well, have I ever had one of THESE?
Scene: With that, Jessie holds up a white mechanical collar-like mechanism. It has a small red light embedded into it. James immediately gets an excited look on his face.
James: That can't be what I think it is...
Jessie: I had to rip this off our OWN scientists to get it. It's the latest model. With this, we won't even NEED to battle Pikachu... He'll come willingly...
James: This might actually work... I remember how effective those were in helping to capture Lugia...
Meowth: But dey were eventually destroyed.
Jessie: Yes... But that little problem was fixed. Now we can use them as we please.
James: Then let's do it... I haven't been this motivated to capture Pikachu in a LONG time...
Scene: That said, Jessie, James and Meowth jump out of the bushes, only to discover that Ash and the gang are no longer there. It also appears that the picnic area has been cleaned up as well.
Jessie: Where did they go?
James: Oh no! We must have missed them! Now we'll have to search Saffron City for them!!
Meowth: Don't worry. It'll be easy ta capture Pikachu once we find dem. Let's head inta town.
Scene: As Jessie, James and Meowth head into the city, they don't notice an object falling out of the sky in the distance. As it impacts the ground, a small explosion results that is barely audible from where the trio was.
______
Scene: The sun is now setting in Saffron City. The buildings reflect the sunlight at an angle, creating an orange and silver lighting. Ash and the rest of the gang are en route to the Pokemon Center.
Ash: You know, it's really lame that we could have such a great picnic, and yet not have enough money to sleep in a hotel.
Misty: Let's face it... Pokemon Trainers don't exactly make lots of money...
May: Either way, let's just get to the Center. My feet are killing me...
Max: You're not the only one... They don't call this the biggest city in Kanto for nothing...
Scene: Eventually, Ash and the rest of the gang make it to the Pokemon Center. To everyone's surprise, Nurse Joy isn't at the reception desk like normal. Despite this, they're only too happy to take a seat and get off their feet. Numerous other Trainers seem to be looking through the main doors into the main hall.
Ash: I wonder what's up with them?
Scene: A Trainer turns to Ash. He's obviously younger, with shorts and a tank top on.
Trainer: You haven't heard? Oh that's right. You just got here, so you COULDN'T have known about the STRANGER.
Misty: What stranger?
Trainer: Well, there was this teenager with blue hair that was wheeled into this Pokemon Center on a stretcher. He was totally unconscious. A bunch of scientists were with him.
Ash: Why here though? Isn't there a hospital down the road?
Trainer: I don't know why, unless they're trying to keep this from the public for some reason...
Scene: Nurse Joy finally comes out from the main hall of the Center. She stops in front of the doors and smiles.
Joy: I'm really sorry for the delay. But fortunately, we're now able to resume our normal operations.
Ash: They halted ALL of their operations for ONE person?
Brock: Who cares about that? I think I'm in love...
Scene: Without warning, Brock rushes up to Nurse Joy and grabs her hand.
Brock: I think I'm injured as well. Do you think you could kiss it to make it better?
Scene: The infamous ear-pulling bit, courtesy of BOTH Max and Misty.
Misty: Come on, lover.
Max: Yeah, why don't you sit down for a minute?
Brock: <over-dramatically> Oh, not the double-whammy! But we were meant for each other!
Scene: Pikachu turns to face the double doors. He now has a concerned look on his face.
Pikachu: Pika?! <Immediately, Pikachu bolts down the hall>
Ash: What the... Wait!
Joy: Wait a second! You can't...
Ash: I'm really sorry Nurse Joy. It'll only be a second. I have to get Pikachu.
Scene: Ash runs after Pikachu, as both him and the Pokemon end up in the room that the so-called stranger was taken into. A scientist seems to be conversing with a now conscious Chezni. Chezni and the scientist both turn to see Ash and Pikachu standing in the room.
Scientist: What are you doing here?
Ash: I'm... sorry... Pikachu... um...
Chezni: Pikachu? What's a 'Pikachu'?
Scene: Immediately, Ash and the scientist give a dumbfounded stare in Chezni's direction.
Ash: Pikachu's a Pokemon... Everyone knows that...
Scientist: Are you trying to tell us that you don't know what Pokemon are?
Chezni: Um... Yeah, why? I've never seen these 'Pokemon' before. Why would I know what they were?
Ash: Did you hit your head or something?
Scientist: Actually... yes. He did.
Ash: Well, that explains it. It's a simple case of amnesia. Right?
Scene: Ash's stare becomes more dumbfounded when the scientist and Chezni both shake their heads.
Ash: You're kidding, right?
Scientist: I am not, what you would call, the 'kidding type'.
Chezni: A case of amnesia would likely result in almost total memory loss, not fragmented memory loss. As you can see, I still know that my name is Chezni, and I know for a fact that I'm not from around here.
Ash: Ok... I think I follow... You're telling me that you're from another city, right?
Chezni: In a way, yes...
Ash: And you don't know what Pokemon are?
Scientist: You were in that contraption that crashed, right?
Chezni: ... Yes...
Ash: Was it a plane of some sort?
Chezni: <breathing a sigh of relief> Yeah, actually... It was a prototype.
Scientist: This is too confusing. My theory is that the crash resulted in a temporary state of partial amnesia. I'm sure that your memories will return in time.
Chezni: Whatever, but I don't think I lost any of my memories...
Scientist: Alright then... Other than that, you're fine now. If you want, I can get the papers in order to release you.
Chezni: Would you do that? Thanks.
Scene: The scientist finally leaves, as Ash picks up a seemingly reluctant Pikachu.
Ash: Ok... Looks like everything's fine here... I'll be going now. I just came here to get Pikachu anyway...
Pikachu: Pika! Pika!!! <Pikachu is stubbornly trying to wriggle out of Ash's arms>
Ash: Pikachu? What's wrong with you?
Chezni: So, that's a Pokemon... But, what's the matter with him?
Ash: I'm really... sorry. Pikachu's usually not like this...
Scene: Pikachu gives Ash a good shock and immediately grabs the white gem that's on the table in his teeth.
Chezni: Eden...
Eden: Let go of me! What are you doing?!
Pikachu: <stops, puts the gem down, and looks at Ash> Pika!!
Ash: Is that what you were trying to show me?
Scene: The strange gem floats up into the air, in front of Ash and Pikachu.
Ash: Whoa... That's like Deoxys' crystal...
Chezni: He's sentient... if you didn't already know...
Ash: So by not from this city, you mean... not from this world?
Chezni: That's right... I'm from the System of Starlance...
Ash: No way... That's crazy... You CAN'T be...
Eden: Ahem... He is. Believe it. Oh, how rude of me. I am Eden.
Ash: Eden... like the Garden...
Chezni: Like the Garden... Don't let his rambling get to you though. He tends to be very sarcastic.
Ash: ... So, what are you going to do now?
Chezni: <with a silly expression on his face> I haven't really thought that far ahead... I really don't know anyone here...
Ash: Well, have you ever thought about becoming a Pokemon Trainer?
Chezni: A Pokemon Trainer? What, where I train Pokemon to do tricks or something?
Scene: Ash holds up a Poke-Ball.
Ash: Not quite... You raise Pokemon and train them to battle each other and win competitions.
Chezni: Huh? You mean, make them fight? I don't like the sound of that.
Ash: Oh, you don't just fight. You form bonds with the Pokemon in question, like me and Pikachu.
Chezni: So part of the bond is getting electrocuted, I'm assuming?
Ash: Not exactly... I mean, Pikachu is eccentric, but he's...
Scene: Suddenly, Brock rushes into the room.
Brock: Ash! We have to move! Team Rocket just made off with a Trainer's Pokemon!
Chezni: Is he a friend of yours?
Ash: Yeah, his name is Brock. I'll explain later! Right now, I have to get outside!
Chezni: I'll help too!
Ash: Are you sure? I mean, you don't have a Pokemon...
Chezni: <now grinning> Don't worry. This so-called Team Rocket is in for a big surprise...
Ash: What do you mean?
Chezni: Just trust me...
______
Scene: Without too much trouble, Ash, Misty, Brock, Max, May and Chezni catch up with Team Rocket. In fact, it's all too easy, as the Swellow that is trapped in their net constantly lets out ear-piercing cries.
Ash: The game's over, Team Rocket! Release that Pokemon!
James: Oh, it's the twerps. Guess it's time for our routine.
Scene: Suddenly, the background changes to show outer space.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble, with a new twist!
James: And make it double if you insist!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation...
James: To unite all peoples within our 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 Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!
Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!
Scene: While talking, Jessie and James pose, pointing to Meowth, who has his paws out, one pointed toward Jessie and the other pointed at James. A large 'R' is mounted behind the trio. Immediately, the background switches to normal.
Chezni: Like this?
Scene: Chezni is now mimicking Meowth's pose.
Meowth: No, your right arm has to be pointing dis way.
Chezni: Oh. <correcting himself>
Meowth: Now ya got it!
Chezni: But... This pose... serves absolutely no purpose...
Meowth: WHAT?!!
Chezni: Yeah, your whole speech is just a big waste of time...
James: How dare you! It took me six months to come up with that speech!
Max: Six months, and that's all they could come up with?
Misty: How sad...
Jessie: Enough talk! Why don't you come at us, if you've got the guts?!
Ash: Good call! Pikachu! Quick Attack!!
Jessie: Perfect... <as Pikachu shoots forward in a blur, Jessie pulls out the collar>
James: Um... Oh, no!!! We're going to lose again!!
Scene: Pikachu stops in front of the net and easily frees the Swellow that was inside. It immediately flies toward the Pokemon Center.
Ash: Alright! Now, Thunderbo...
Scene: Jessie immediately slams the metal collar over Pikachu, as it fastens itself to the Pokemon's neck. Try as he might, he is unable to remove it.
Jessie: Now, Pikachu. You are under our control.
Pikachu: Pi pika... PIKA!!!! <the collar gradually calms Pikachu down, as he turns to face Ash>
Ash: Pikachu... are you ok?
Jessie: Pikachu! Thunderbolt!
Scene: Electricity builds up in the mouse Pokemon, until he releases it in one giant blast toward Ash. Ash closes his eyes, fearing the worst. When he opens his eyes, he sees Chezni standing between him and Pikachu, with his hand extended. He seems to be holding the electricity in his hand. He closes his hand, and the electricity dissipates.
Chezni: I suggest that you three leave right now.
Jessie: No way! So, you know some parlor trick! That doesn't scare us!
Scene: Chezni becomes a blur for a second and is now holding the collar. He strains as he puts more pressure on the collar, until it snaps.
Pikachu: Pika?
Ash: Pikachu...
Scene: Despite his concern, it was obvious to Ash that Pikachu was back to normal. Immediately, both him and the Pokemon turn to face Team Rocket.
James: Um... I think we should retreat now.
Ash: Too late... THUNDERBOLT!!
Scene: Pikachu lets out his trademark cry, as he lets loose a nice sized Thunderbolt Attack, causing Team Rocket to launch into the air.
Jessie, James, and Meowth: <in sync> Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!
Chezni: Whew... <as he falls to one knee>
Ash: Are you alright?
Chezni: Yeah... I'm just not used to manipulating other energy signatures. It took the lion's share of my power to do that... <slowly, he rises to his feet>
Ash: Power? You mean you have a power?
Chezni: Yeah. It wasn't easy to develop, either...
Brock: I see...
Chezni: So, who do we have here?
Scene: One by one, the group members introduce themselves. Chezni is the last to do so, as he explains what he and Ash were talking about in the Pokemon Center.
Ash: Well, if it's not too much of a hassle, why don't you come with us?
Chezni: That might be a good idea, since I don't know anyone else here... Plus, I've taken some interest in this 'Pokemon Training' business. I'm thinking about becoming one.
Ash: Well, if that's the case, why don't we go to Pallet Town?
Chezni: Pallet Town?
Ash: Yeah, Professor Oak lives there. If you want to become a Pokemon Trainer, he's the guy to go to.
Chezni: How far is it?
Ash: Well, it's about 100 miles from here...
Chezni: That's not so bad... What's our mode of transportation?
Max: Walking.
Chezni: <with a shocked look on his face> You're... kidding..., right?
Ash: Nope. We're walking...
Chezni: <hangs his head down> I guess I have no choice...
Misty: Don't worry. We'll be there before you know it.
May: Yeah! Just keep your chin up!
Chezni: Oh well, a nature walk never hurt anyone... So, when do we go?
Ash: I guess, we could set out tomorrow?
Scene: With that, the group heads back to the Pokemon Center and spends the night. The next day, after everyone wakes up, the familiar scientist hands Chezni a piece of paper.
Scientist: Ok... You're good to go. This is your copy.
Chezni: Thanks. How much do I owe you?
Scientist: You're a funny one... Pokemon Centers and Hospitals are ALL non-profit organizations, funded by the Pokemon League.
Chezni: Oh... So the Pokemon League is like the government then?
Scientist: I guess you could say that...
Chezni: Wow, that's a relief... Thanks. I guess we'll be leaving then.
Scene: Ash, Misty, Brock, Max and May leave the Pokemon Center with Chezni accompanying them. It's a new day, as the city is once again bustling with activity. In no time at all, the gang is on the road, heading toward Pallet Town.
Ash: We have to pass through Vermilion City to get to Pallet. But there's a shortcut that we use all the time. It should make the trip alot easier, and more direct.
Chezni: Alright. Just lead the way.
Scene: With that, the group is once again headed to Pallet Town, Ash's home town. Only this time, there is a new goal in mind, to get Chezni aquainted with the world of Pokemon.

POKEMON: Neo Destiny: Episode 2
Hey, it's Chezni! It looks like we get to Vermilion City pretty easily, but something's wrong. It seems that the entire city's been taken over by this new gang called the Red Fist. To make matters worse, they've blocked off the cave that Ash was going to use to get to Pallet Town!
Gang Leader: Are you tryin' to cause trouble here?!
Well, I won't tell you what happens, but you definitely don't want to miss it!

POKEMON: Neo Destiny: Beyond Time and Space
Key:
______=Insert Commercial
Prologue of Episode 1
Scene: A fairly large room with many consoles lining the far back wall. A screen on the opposite end of the room is showing footage of what appears to be two armies clashing in front of some kind of military base. It isn't close enough to see in detail, but many of the soldiers appear to be firing strange blue and red energy blasts out of their hands. As the camera zooms out, a blue-haired youth that looks to be around 17 or 18 can be seen watching the screen. His hair seems to be spiked on end and drapes slightly over his green eyes. His suit is a silver and blue color with the emblem of 'NW' on it. After a second, a voice echoes from the direction of the console.
Voice: Are you sure about this Chezni?
Chezni: If not me, then who? Besides, I have a promise to keep. I have to survive this, no matter how insane it gets...

James: <Eyeballing the feast that is lining the picnic area> Look at all that food... Surely, they can't eat all of it by themselves.
Jessie: Forget the food, you glutton... Look at who's with them... Pikachu, and he's totally defensless.
Meowth: Well, dat depends on your definition of 'defenseless'... If ya mean able to electrocute anyone dat nabs him, den yeah...
Scene: Both James and Meowth reminisce the many times they've felt the sting of Pikachu's Thunderbolt.
Jessie: Well, for your information, I finally have a foolproof way of neutralizing ALL of Pikachu's attacks.
James: You say that in EVERY episode.
Jessie: Well, have I ever had one of THESE?
Scene: With that, Jessie holds up a white mechanical collar-like mechanism. It has a small red light embedded into it. James immediately gets an excited look on his face.
James: That can't be what I think it is...
Jessie: I had to rip this off our OWN scientists to get it. It's the latest model. With this, we won't even NEED to battle Pikachu... He'll come willingly...
James: This might actually work... I remember how effective those were in helping to capture Lugia...
Meowth: But dey were eventually destroyed.
Jessie: Yes... But that little problem was fixed. Now we can use them as we please.
James: Then let's do it... I haven't been this motivated to capture Pikachu in a LONG time...
Scene: That said, Jessie, James and Meowth jump out of the bushes, only to discover that Ash and the gang are no longer there. It also appears that the picnic area has been cleaned up as well.
Jessie: Where did they go?
James: Oh no! We must have missed them! Now we'll have to search Saffron City for them!!
Meowth: Don't worry. It'll be easy ta capture Pikachu once we find dem. Let's head inta town.
Scene: As Jessie, James and Meowth head into the city, they don't notice an object falling out of the sky in the distance. As it impacts the ground, a small explosion results that is barely audible from where the trio was.
______
Scene: The sun is now setting in Saffron City. The buildings reflect the sunlight at an angle, creating an orange and silver lighting. Ash and the rest of the gang are en route to the Pokemon Center.
Ash: You know, it's really lame that we could have such a great picnic, and yet not have enough money to sleep in a hotel.
Misty: Let's face it... Pokemon Trainers don't exactly make lots of money...
May: Either way, let's just get to the Center. My feet are killing me...
Max: You're not the only one... They don't call this the biggest city in Kanto for nothing...
Scene: Eventually, Ash and the rest of the gang make it to the Pokemon Center. To everyone's surprise, Nurse Joy isn't at the reception desk like normal. Despite this, they're only too happy to take a seat and get off their feet. Numerous other Trainers seem to be looking through the main doors into the main hall.
Ash: I wonder what's up with them?
Scene: A Trainer turns to Ash. He's obviously younger, with shorts and a tank top on.
Trainer: You haven't heard? Oh that's right. You just got here, so you COULDN'T have known about the STRANGER.
Misty: What stranger?
Trainer: Well, there was this teenager with blue hair that was wheeled into this Pokemon Center on a stretcher. He was totally unconscious. A bunch of scientists were with him.
Ash: Why here though? Isn't there a hospital down the road?
Trainer: I don't know why, unless they're trying to keep this from the public for some reason...
Scene: Nurse Joy finally comes out from the main hall of the Center. She stops in front of the doors and smiles.
Joy: I'm really sorry for the delay. But fortunately, we're now able to resume our normal operations.
Ash: They halted ALL of their operations for ONE person?
Brock: Who cares about that? I think I'm in love...
Scene: Without warning, Brock rushes up to Nurse Joy and grabs her hand.
Brock: I think I'm injured as well. Do you think you could kiss it to make it better?
Scene: The infamous ear-pulling bit, courtesy of BOTH Max and Misty.
Misty: Come on, lover.
Max: Yeah, why don't you sit down for a minute?
Brock: <over-dramatically> Oh, not the double-whammy! But we were meant for each other!
Scene: Pikachu turns to face the double doors. He now has a concerned look on his face.
Pikachu: Pika?! <Immediately, Pikachu bolts down the hall>
Ash: What the... Wait!
Joy: Wait a second! You can't...
Ash: I'm really sorry Nurse Joy. It'll only be a second. I have to get Pikachu.
Scene: Ash runs after Pikachu, as both him and the Pokemon end up in the room that the so-called stranger was taken into. A scientist seems to be conversing with a now conscious Chezni. Chezni and the scientist both turn to see Ash and Pikachu standing in the room.
Scientist: What are you doing here?
Ash: I'm... sorry... Pikachu... um...
Chezni: Pikachu? What's a 'Pikachu'?
Scene: Immediately, Ash and the scientist give a dumbfounded stare in Chezni's direction.
Ash: Pikachu's a Pokemon... Everyone knows that...
Scientist: Are you trying to tell us that you don't know what Pokemon are?
Chezni: Um... Yeah, why? I've never seen these 'Pokemon' before. Why would I know what they were?
Ash: Did you hit your head or something?
Scientist: Actually... yes. He did.
Ash: Well, that explains it. It's a simple case of amnesia. Right?
Scene: Ash's stare becomes more dumbfounded when the scientist and Chezni both shake their heads.
Ash: You're kidding, right?
Scientist: I am not, what you would call, the 'kidding type'.
Chezni: A case of amnesia would likely result in almost total memory loss, not fragmented memory loss. As you can see, I still know that my name is Chezni, and I know for a fact that I'm not from around here.
Ash: Ok... I think I follow... You're telling me that you're from another city, right?
Chezni: In a way, yes...
Ash: And you don't know what Pokemon are?
Scientist: You were in that contraption that crashed, right?
Chezni: ... Yes...
Ash: Was it a plane of some sort?
Chezni: <breathing a sigh of relief> Yeah, actually... It was a prototype.
Scientist: This is too confusing. My theory is that the crash resulted in a temporary state of partial amnesia. I'm sure that your memories will return in time.
Chezni: Whatever, but I don't think I lost any of my memories...
Scientist: Alright then... Other than that, you're fine now. If you want, I can get the papers in order to release you.
Chezni: Would you do that? Thanks.
Scene: The scientist finally leaves, as Ash picks up a seemingly reluctant Pikachu.
Ash: Ok... Looks like everything's fine here... I'll be going now. I just came here to get Pikachu anyway...
Pikachu: Pika! Pika!!! <Pikachu is stubbornly trying to wriggle out of Ash's arms>
Ash: Pikachu? What's wrong with you?
Chezni: So, that's a Pokemon... But, what's the matter with him?
Ash: I'm really... sorry. Pikachu's usually not like this...
Scene: Pikachu gives Ash a good shock and immediately grabs the white gem that's on the table in his teeth.
Chezni: Eden...
Eden: Let go of me! What are you doing?!
Pikachu: <stops, puts the gem down, and looks at Ash> Pika!!
Ash: Is that what you were trying to show me?
Scene: The strange gem floats up into the air, in front of Ash and Pikachu.
Ash: Whoa... That's like Deoxys' crystal...
Chezni: He's sentient... if you didn't already know...
Ash: So by not from this city, you mean... not from this world?
Chezni: That's right... I'm from the System of Starlance...
Ash: No way... That's crazy... You CAN'T be...
Eden: Ahem... He is. Believe it. Oh, how rude of me. I am Eden.
Ash: Eden... like the Garden...
Chezni: Like the Garden... Don't let his rambling get to you though. He tends to be very sarcastic.
Ash: ... So, what are you going to do now?
Chezni: <with a silly expression on his face> I haven't really thought that far ahead... I really don't know anyone here...
Ash: Well, have you ever thought about becoming a Pokemon Trainer?
Chezni: A Pokemon Trainer? What, where I train Pokemon to do tricks or something?
Scene: Ash holds up a Poke-Ball.
Ash: Not quite... You raise Pokemon and train them to battle each other and win competitions.
Chezni: Huh? You mean, make them fight? I don't like the sound of that.
Ash: Oh, you don't just fight. You form bonds with the Pokemon in question, like me and Pikachu.
Chezni: So part of the bond is getting electrocuted, I'm assuming?
Ash: Not exactly... I mean, Pikachu is eccentric, but he's...
Scene: Suddenly, Brock rushes into the room.
Brock: Ash! We have to move! Team Rocket just made off with a Trainer's Pokemon!
Chezni: Is he a friend of yours?
Ash: Yeah, his name is Brock. I'll explain later! Right now, I have to get outside!
Chezni: I'll help too!
Ash: Are you sure? I mean, you don't have a Pokemon...
Chezni: <now grinning> Don't worry. This so-called Team Rocket is in for a big surprise...
Ash: What do you mean?
Chezni: Just trust me...
______
Scene: Without too much trouble, Ash, Misty, Brock, Max, May and Chezni catch up with Team Rocket. In fact, it's all too easy, as the Swellow that is trapped in their net constantly lets out ear-piercing cries.
Ash: The game's over, Team Rocket! Release that Pokemon!
James: Oh, it's the twerps. Guess it's time for our routine.
Scene: Suddenly, the background changes to show outer space.
Jessie: Prepare for trouble, with a new twist!
James: And make it double if you insist!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation...
James: To unite all peoples within our 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 Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight, fight!
Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!
Scene: While talking, Jessie and James pose, pointing to Meowth, who has his paws out, one pointed toward Jessie and the other pointed at James. A large 'R' is mounted behind the trio. Immediately, the background switches to normal.
Chezni: Like this?
Scene: Chezni is now mimicking Meowth's pose.
Meowth: No, your right arm has to be pointing dis way.
Chezni: Oh. <correcting himself>
Meowth: Now ya got it!
Chezni: But... This pose... serves absolutely no purpose...
Meowth: WHAT?!!
Chezni: Yeah, your whole speech is just a big waste of time...
James: How dare you! It took me six months to come up with that speech!
Max: Six months, and that's all they could come up with?
Misty: How sad...
Jessie: Enough talk! Why don't you come at us, if you've got the guts?!
Ash: Good call! Pikachu! Quick Attack!!
Jessie: Perfect... <as Pikachu shoots forward in a blur, Jessie pulls out the collar>
James: Um... Oh, no!!! We're going to lose again!!
Scene: Pikachu stops in front of the net and easily frees the Swellow that was inside. It immediately flies toward the Pokemon Center.
Ash: Alright! Now, Thunderbo...
Scene: Jessie immediately slams the metal collar over Pikachu, as it fastens itself to the Pokemon's neck. Try as he might, he is unable to remove it.
Jessie: Now, Pikachu. You are under our control.
Pikachu: Pi pika... PIKA!!!! <the collar gradually calms Pikachu down, as he turns to face Ash>
Ash: Pikachu... are you ok?
Jessie: Pikachu! Thunderbolt!
Scene: Electricity builds up in the mouse Pokemon, until he releases it in one giant blast toward Ash. Ash closes his eyes, fearing the worst. When he opens his eyes, he sees Chezni standing between him and Pikachu, with his hand extended. He seems to be holding the electricity in his hand. He closes his hand, and the electricity dissipates.
Chezni: I suggest that you three leave right now.
Jessie: No way! So, you know some parlor trick! That doesn't scare us!
Scene: Chezni becomes a blur for a second and is now holding the collar. He strains as he puts more pressure on the collar, until it snaps.
Pikachu: Pika?
Ash: Pikachu...
Scene: Despite his concern, it was obvious to Ash that Pikachu was back to normal. Immediately, both him and the Pokemon turn to face Team Rocket.
James: Um... I think we should retreat now.
Ash: Too late... THUNDERBOLT!!
Scene: Pikachu lets out his trademark cry, as he lets loose a nice sized Thunderbolt Attack, causing Team Rocket to launch into the air.
Jessie, James, and Meowth: <in sync> Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!
Chezni: Whew... <as he falls to one knee>
Ash: Are you alright?
Chezni: Yeah... I'm just not used to manipulating other energy signatures. It took the lion's share of my power to do that... <slowly, he rises to his feet>
Ash: Power? You mean you have a power?
Chezni: Yeah. It wasn't easy to develop, either...
Brock: I see...
Chezni: So, who do we have here?
Scene: One by one, the group members introduce themselves. Chezni is the last to do so, as he explains what he and Ash were talking about in the Pokemon Center.
Ash: Well, if it's not too much of a hassle, why don't you come with us?
Chezni: That might be a good idea, since I don't know anyone else here... Plus, I've taken some interest in this 'Pokemon Training' business. I'm thinking about becoming one.
Ash: Well, if that's the case, why don't we go to Pallet Town?
Chezni: Pallet Town?
Ash: Yeah, Professor Oak lives there. If you want to become a Pokemon Trainer, he's the guy to go to.
Chezni: How far is it?
Ash: Well, it's about 100 miles from here...
Chezni: That's not so bad... What's our mode of transportation?
Max: Walking.
Chezni: <with a shocked look on his face> You're... kidding..., right?
Ash: Nope. We're walking...
Chezni: <hangs his head down> I guess I have no choice...
Misty: Don't worry. We'll be there before you know it.
May: Yeah! Just keep your chin up!
Chezni: Oh well, a nature walk never hurt anyone... So, when do we go?
Ash: I guess, we could set out tomorrow?
Scene: With that, the group heads back to the Pokemon Center and spends the night. The next day, after everyone wakes up, the familiar scientist hands Chezni a piece of paper.
Scientist: Ok... You're good to go. This is your copy.
Chezni: Thanks. How much do I owe you?
Scientist: You're a funny one... Pokemon Centers and Hospitals are ALL non-profit organizations, funded by the Pokemon League.
Chezni: Oh... So the Pokemon League is like the government then?
Scientist: I guess you could say that...
Chezni: Wow, that's a relief... Thanks. I guess we'll be leaving then.
Scene: Ash, Misty, Brock, Max and May leave the Pokemon Center with Chezni accompanying them. It's a new day, as the city is once again bustling with activity. In no time at all, the gang is on the road, heading toward Pallet Town.
Ash: We have to pass through Vermilion City to get to Pallet. But there's a shortcut that we use all the time. It should make the trip alot easier, and more direct.
Chezni: Alright. Just lead the way.
Scene: With that, the group is once again headed to Pallet Town, Ash's home town. Only this time, there is a new goal in mind, to get Chezni aquainted with the world of Pokemon.

Hey, it's Chezni! It looks like we get to Vermilion City pretty easily, but something's wrong. It seems that the entire city's been taken over by this new gang called the Red Fist. To make matters worse, they've blocked off the cave that Ash was going to use to get to Pallet Town!
Gang Leader: Are you tryin' to cause trouble here?!
Well, I won't tell you what happens, but you definitely don't want to miss it!
