This is actually something I've been wanting to do for awhile, but wasn't sure how I'd do it. Originally I was going to make this right before Pokemon XD was released, as sort of a pseudo-ad for the game (like an actual episode of Captain N would be). Back then, I had no idea who the main characters were or what the whole plot was, other than it having Shadow Lugia and Team Snagem being somehow connected. Anywho, you'll see that not everything is like it is in Pokemon XD, so please bear with me.
But then again, Simon Belmont isn't supposed to be a stuck up snob in a pilot's suit and Mega Man isn't supposed to be a chubby green troll (not to mention MB isn't supposed to be reminiscent of the plant from Little Shop of Horrors). So don't get upset when you see them. Their Captain N designs weren't my idea, after all... Anyway, this Fic is the result of my strange imagination, and it's probably gonna be more than one part. It is in Script-Format, but that's practically unavoidable in this situation. But just between you and me, it's about time someone thinks to do something like this...
First, for those of you that have NEVER seen Captain N, here's a small rundown of the general plot. You can find out even more by typing Captain N into your browser. Everyone else, just skip the next few italicized paragraphs and read the disclaimer before the intro.
The story's pretty simple. Kevin Keene, a boy from Earth, like many of us back then, really loves playing Nintendo. In fact, he loves it so much, he is a pro at pretty much every game known. Even games that weren't out at the time (Zelda II wasn't released back when the show started, yet he was a pro at it in its episode). Well, one day he's playing Punch-Out when something strange happens. He suddenly gets sucked into his TV along with his dog, Duke.
He and his dog end up in animated form at the Palace of Power in Video Land. Basically, it's a nexus point for just about any video game-related world you can possibly think of. Anyway, he not only ends up in animated form, but also has this magical belt on him that sports an NES controller and a Zapper (you gotta love the not-so-subliminal ads in video game-related cartoons).
But these are no ordinary NES accessories. The Zapper is a laser gun that can actually be used to kill the video game baddies he'll inevitably come up against. And like most video game enemies, they don't die, but blink out of existence. Then there's the controller. The D-Pad is used to make Kevin run really fast and jump high. And the Pause button makes everything around him stop for a few seconds.
Anywho, Video Land is constantly under attack by the evil Mother Brain, or MB for short. She seems to have given up on Samus to solely take over every known Video Game World out there. She can best be described as a messed up version of the plant from Little Shop of Horrors. So please don't think I'm trying to insult anyone by portraying her that way, because I'm not. She really sounded like that in Captain N. Her two lackeys, Eggplant Wizard and King Hippo, pretty much do whatever she commands. Unfortunately, they fall under the 'Evil Henchmen of the 80s Curse'. They are dim-witted and almost never do anything right.
Basically Kevin, with the help of Mega Man, Simon Belmont, Kid Icarus and the living embodiment of the Gameboy system, thwart MB's plans in every video game-themed adventure. Occasionally, they team up with other video game heroes, such as Link and Bayou Billy. But, the theme is always centered around some video game.
That said, I don't own ANY of the characters in this Fic, nor am I trying to claim ownership of Nintendo or and of the other companies responsible for the shows depicted herein. It's just a tribute to a long lost classic... soon to be released on DVD, I hear!
When my father disappeared, and Mother Brain tried to take over Video Land, our only hope lay in an ancient prophecy that a great warrior from another world would come to our rescue. I admit, I was a bit skeptical when Kevin showed up. But now, I don't know how we'd ever get along without him.
-Princess Lana (Captain N Original Opening Narrative)
Captain N And The Shadow Lugia
Voiceover: In the far reaches of Video Land in the magical world of Pokemon, the Orre Region is enjoying a time of peace. Several months have passed since the hero Wes successfully defeated Team Snagem and saved Orre from the powerful Shadow Pokemon. Since then, peace has spread throughout the land. Until one dark day...
Scene: Nighttime in one of the many towns in the Orre Region. This town has no name, since Captain N doesn't give enough details to allow video game veterans to figure out where they are referring to, but it appears to be a port of some sort. Anyway, citizens seem to be going about their business, until an ominous reflection is seen on the water, causing the townspeople to begin hiding in their houses.
Voiceover: A mysterious Pokemon known only as Shadow Lugia is seen flying over the cities, as rumors begin spreading that the evil Shadow Pokemon are back.
Scene: A few strange people in armor can be seen with various Pokemon that have purple hues. These Pokemon are impossible to identify, since the angle of view is one from a distance. But the armored individuals are obviously Team Snagem members.
Voiceover: Meanwhile, at the Palace of Power...
Scene: A very large golden floating fortress is shown on the outside, before a fade-in shows the interior. It's just as golden on the inside, except with furniture and many different corridors. One could very easily get lost here.
Egocentric Sounding Voice: Give me back my mirror!
Scene: Simon Belmont, in all his blue pilot suit-wearing glory, is chasing Duke throughout the halls of the Palace. Duke has the vampire hunter's vanity mirror in his mouth.
Simon: So, you wanna play hardball, eh?
Scene: Simon brandishes his whip and lassoes the end of the mirror that is sticking out of the pooch's mouth. Duke is growling and playing the best game of tug-of-war that any animated dog's ever played.
Simon: <pulling with all his might> You... can't... win... mutt... I'm a... vampire hunter...
Scene: Kevin enters the room, causing Duke to simply let go of the mirror, sending Simon flying head-first into the wall. In fact, he literally gets his head stuck in the wall.
Simon: <head still stuck in wall> Where's... the love?
Kevin: <chuckling> Oh, sorry Simon. Didn't mean for you to stick around...
Simon: <finally freeing his head> Ha ha... Very funny. If you must know, that little mutt of yours almost broke my mirror!
Kevin: Hey! Give him a break! He doesn't know any better!
Simon: <brushes himself off and fixes his hair> Well, I still say you should keep that dog on a leash!
Kevin: Heh... Yeah, sure... You know, you've never had a pet of your own in your life! I'd be willing to bet that if you took care of an animal for just one week, you'd have a totally different opinion of them.
Simon: Nope. I don't like 'em, and you're NOT gonna coax me into taking care of one. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to fix my hair.
Female Voice: I'm afraid that'll have to wait, Simon.
Scene: Simon turns to see Princess Lana, Video Land's brunette heir to the throne. With her is a green Mega Man with a light green glass visor, and Kid Icarus, as well as Gameboy.
Kevin: <seeing Lana> Princess! Is something wrong?
Lana: I'll say. Come with me.
Simon: <bowing to the Princess> Of course, your majesty. I'd go through the Catacombs of Endless Undead for you.
Lana: Um, yeah... Anyway...
Scene: The N Team goes to the Throne Room, where a large monitor is conveniently placed on the right side. On the monitor is none other than Professor Oak.
Lana: Ok. Everyone's here.
Kevin: <with his know-it-all game knowledge> Hey! You're Professor Oak from Pokemon!
Professor Oak: I'm glad to see that my fame has spread beyond our world.
Kevin: No kidding. I remember how I had to pick between the three starter Pokemon, and each one had different abilities.
Professor Oak: Ahh. Yes. There have been many advancements since then... Pokemon Breeding...
Kevin: Contests, Gym Battles, Team Aqua and Team Magma... Yeah, I know all about them.
Professor Oak: Well Princess, he truly does live up to the title of Game Master.
Lana: I told you. There isn't a game that Kevin's not at least familiar with.
Kevin: Yeah, but why do you need my help? You people over there have a knack for handling just about anything that's sent your way. I mean, Ash alone could handle pretty much anything...
Professor Oak: Therein lies the problem... You see, Ash went missing, along with Misty, Brock, Max and May...
Kevin: Misty and Brock... You mean the Pewter and Cerulean Gym Leaders?
Professor Oak: The very same.
Kevin: Max and May... Yes, they're the heroes from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire...
Professor Oak: Well, you certainly know who everyone is...
Kevin: So you need me to find them?
Professor Oak: Yes... Aside from our small problem, that's it.
Kevin: What small problem?
Professor Oak: Well, I'll explain it when you get here. I'm sure you'll encounter it pretty quickly.
Kevin: Well, I guess it's time for another adventure.
Lana: Kevin, the world of Pokemon is an amazing place, but it is also extremely dangerous. You're going to need special tools just to survive.
Scene: Kevin looks at his white shirt and blue jeans that he has on. He then checks out his red jacket with the trademark 'N' on it. It's easy to see his slender build, as if he was an ace in some sort of aerobics class as well as video games.
Kevin: What could I be missing... Oh! I know! I need a hat! If I'm gonna be incognito, I'll wanna look the part!
Lana: Yes, but I'm really talking about... these.
Scene: Lana motions to the table in the middle of the Throne Room. There is a box on the table. Kevin opens it up, revealing a red rectangular device, along with six red and white orbs.
Kevin: A Poke-Dex! And Poke-Balls! Yeah, I'll need these for this world! Good thinking, Princess!
Lana: One more thing Kevin. While your Controller always works, your Zapper will have no power in the world of Pokemon. You must be on your guard.
Kevin: Yeah. That's right. Pokemon is a Gameboy game, so the Zapper'll have no effect there...
Simon: Well, my trusty whip'll have to suffice!
Mega Man: Not to mention my mega Power Shot!
Kid Icarus: And my arrows can also help-icus.
Gameboy: <in a robotic tone> SYSTEMS NOMINAL! PLEASED TO BE OF ASSISTANCE!
Lana: Just remember, Pokemon can die just like you and me. So go easy on them.
Kevin: No sweat! I'll just have to fight fire with fire.
Professor Oak: What does he mean by that?
Scene: The scene switches to the interior of a room made of metal. In the middle is none other than Mother Brain. She seems to be watching everything that's happening between the N Team and Professor Oak. Eggplant Wizard is on the left and a sky blue version of King Hippo is on the right.
MB: I see. So the fools're goin' to Pokeland! Well dat's just fine with me! We'll launch a sneak attack on 'em when Kevin's Zapper ain't workin'. He'll be helpless to stop us this time!
Eggplant Wizard: <in a droopy-esque voice, slightly higher pitched, minus the depression> But, why don't we just capture those Shadow Pokemon and use them against Video Land?
King Hippo: <a tough, yet naive tone> But aren't Shadow Pokemon limited to the Gameboy games?
MB: You idiot! Shadow Pokemon were made for a console game! What dat means is they can be used on any console you can think of! They ain't limited like everything else! Well take care of Kevin, capture a bunch of Shadow Pokemon, then Video Land'll be MINE!!!
Scene: The scene fades to Pallet Town, where Kevin and the rest of the N Team are finally in the world of Pokemon. In fact, they're in Oak's laboratory.
Kevin: Whoa! And I thought I'd seen it all when I first got to Video Land! I never would've guessed I'd be in the world of Pokemon!
Professor Oak: Yes. And since you're here, you'll be needing a Pokemon to help you find Ash.
Kevin: That's right. We won't get very far here without one.
Professor Oak: Now, step right over here.
Simon: Hey! Waitaminit! What am I, chopped liver?
Kevin: <chuckling> Calm down Simon! I thought you hated pets!
Simon: Pets, yes. But battle companions... That's a different story.
Kevin: Um, Professor... Can we do something about him too?
Professor Oak: I think we can. Come with me.
Scene: Professor Oak takes Kevin and Simon into the back room, where several Poke-Balls line the shelves. On the right side are more Poke-Dexs and the yellow Poke-Navs.
Kevin: Whoa... This must be like the El Dorado of Pokemon Trainers...
Professor Oak: This is where we keep all our Starter Pokemon and other equipment. Let's see...
Scene: Professor Oak grabs 3 Poke-Balls. He lays them out for Kevin and Simon to see.
Kevin: <motions to the Poke-Balls> If my memory serves me correctly, there are a Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in these Poke-Balls...
Professor Oak: That is correct. Now... You'll each have to pick one.
Scene: Simon looks at the pictures on the wall, depicting the starters using their attacks. The Bulbasaur catches his eye.
Simon: Whips! A true vampire hunter's Pokemon! I'll go with that green one!
Professor Oak: Ahh! A Bulbasaur! Always a good choice.
Kevin: Well then, I'll go with a Charmander. Hard to use at first, later on they're practically unstoppable!
Professor Oak: I see you like a challenge.
Scene: Professor Oak hands the two their appropriate Poke-Balls. Kevin immediately lets out his Charmander. Duke begins sniffing the Pokemon.
Kevin: It's ok boy. Charmander's gonna be traveling with us while we're here.
Charmander: Char!
Simon: <noticing the flame on Charmander's tail> Oh no! Kevin! Charmander's on fire!
Kevin: Wait a sec! He's not...
Simon: Allow me!
Scene: Simon lets out Bulbasaur.
Simon: Bulba-whatever! Put out that fire with your trusty whip!
Bulbasaur: <shakes its head> Bulba...
Simon: Whaddya mean, bulba?! I thought you had whips!
Kevin: Simon, he's a starter Pokemon. He probably doesn't know Vine Whip yet...
Simon: Uh, right! I knew that! No problem, little friend! I'll just have to teach it to you later!
Scene: Simon is handed a Poke-Dex. Afterward, the three head back to where the N Team is.
Professor Oak: Well, I guess I should tell you what I know. Ash and the gang left here awhile ago for the Orre Region. Somewhere between here and Vermilion City, they must have gotten lost...
Kevin: Ash... getting lost? I would've never guessed...
Mega Man: Don't worry about it! We'll find your mega-friends and bring them back.
Gameboy: beep boop blip FEAR NOT!
Kid Icarus: I can fly in the sky and see them from far away-icus.
Kevin: I guess we should get going...
Scene: The entire N Team leaves, just as Professor Oak comes to a realization.
Professor Oak: Oh no! I forgot to tell them about our problem... I hope Kevin really is the Game Master...
Scene: In the bushes in front of Professor Oak's laboratory, three figures pop out. They are none other than Jessie, James and Meowth.
Meowth: Did you hear dat?
Jessie: The twerps are missing. This would be a good opportunity to steal every Pokemon we come across.
James: And with no Pikachu to electrocute us, we'll get away scott-free!
Meowth: But what about those guys? Dat kid is called da Game Master!
Jessie: Game Master?! AS IF this is a game...
James: Why don't we swipe those new Pokemon the so-called Game Master just got?
Jessie: Now you're talking... Let's catch up to them.
Scene: Team Rocket sneak along the path from Professor Oak's laboratory to Route 1. They take the cardboard bush with them on the way (it's at this time we find out it's cardboard) and use it to hide themselves. Meanwhile, on Route 1, Simon Belmont is cracking his whip in front of him in an attempt to 'show' Bulbasaur how to use Vine Whip.
Simon: See, like this! <cracks whip> Then this, <again> and this <once more>.
Bulbasaur: <closes eyes and shakes his head> Bulba...
Scene: Kevin, on the other hand is just walking casually with Charmander at his side.
Kevin: Let's see if I remember this... If we veer off a bit to the right here... there should be a short cut that will take us to the other side of the mountains... Ash and his friends probably used it too, since the only other way to Vermilion is through two cities...
Scene: Kevin heads off the path slightly, followed by the N Team. Eventually, he comes to what appears to be a narrow valley covered in vines.
Kevin: Alright Charmander! Ember!
Charmander: Charrr!
Scene: Charmander breathes fire, which clears the vines out of the way, revealing a path through the mountains.
Kevin: I knew it!
Voice: <from behind> Not so fast!
Scene: Kevin turns around, as the screen is now sporting a pixilated background.
Kevin: Oh no... It must be...
Jessie's Voice: Prepare for Trouble, you wannabe Game Master!
James' Voice: And make it double, for it'll soon be a disaster!
Jessie's Voice: To protect the world from devastation...
James' Voice: To unite all people within our nation...
Jessie's Voice: To denounce the evils of truth and love...
James' Voice: To extend our reach to the stars above...
Jessie: <appearing from out of nowhere> Jessie!
James: <also appearing from out of nowhere> James!
Jessie: <as a big pixilated 'R' appears in the background> Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight fight fight!
Meowth: <jumping up from below, somehow> Meowth! Dat's right!
Wobbuffet: Woooobbuffeeeet!
Scene: As SBaby's hands stop aching from the typing, the background returns to normal as Kevin makes the obvious long-awaited realization.
Kevin: You're Team Rocket!
Simon: <totally impressed, as he would be> Wow! <claps> That was amazing! You've gotta teach me how to do that!
Meowth: You wanna become a member?
Kevin: No he doesn't, Meowth! <attempts to pull out his Zapper, but doesn't have it> Oh no! I forgot! I can't use my Zapper in this world!
Charmander: <to Kevin> Char!
Kevin: But maybe...
James: Enough games! <pulls out a Poke-Ball> Cacnea! <throws the Poke-Ball, and Cacnea emerges>
Jessie: <pulls out a Poke-Ball too> Seviper! <throws it, and Seviper emerges>
Kevin: Wow, a real live Pokemon battle!
Mega Man: Don't forget about us!
Kid Icarus: I'll back you up, Kevin-icus!
Gameboy: GAMEBOY IS COMPATIBLE WITH THIS CARTRIDGE!
Kevin: Thanks guys, but I wanna see if I can handle this one.
Simon: I'll handle them! Bulbasaur! Time to use those moves I taught you! Use your trusty Vine Whip on that snake in the grass!
Kevin: Wait! Simon! You can't just...
Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur!!!
Scene: Somehow, Bulbasaur brandishes a Vine Whip attack.
Kevin: Wow, he pulled it off... But it's still...
Jessie: Amateurs! Seviper, Poison Tail!
Scene: As the Vine Whip nears its target, Seviper's tail lights up and slams the attack back, causing it to hit Simon in the face.
Simon: <one hand to his face> Ouch! My face! My beautiful face!
Jessie: Trust me. It's an improvement.
Simon: <a look of sheer rage, and a red welt across his face> What... did you say?!
Kevin: Uh oh...
Scene: James now has a worried look on his face.
Jessie: You heard me! Your face could stop a clock!
Simon: Why... you... little... Bulbasaur! Take out that Seviper!
Scene: Bulbasaur goes into a massive Tackle Attack, sending Seviper into a tree. Jessie is stuck with a look of sheer awe.
Kevin: Right! Charmander! Ember on Cacnea!
Scene: Charmander breathes fire right toward Cacnea, and soon the grass Pokemon is engulfed in flames. After the display, burn marks can be seen all over it, as it has the familiar 'faint' look.
Simon: Now Bulbasaur! Hit 'em with one more for the road!
Scene: Bulbasaur charges right toward Jessie, James and Meowth, causing them to somehow launch into the sky on impact, with their Pokemon.
Jessie, James, and Meowth: Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!
Scene: In no time, the trio are nowhere in sight. The rest of the N Team gather to congratulate each other.
Mega Man: Wow! That was mega-awesome how you took care of them like that!
Kevin: No biggie. James must've forgotten that Cacnea's a Grass Pokemon, making it most vulnerable to fire!
Charmander: Char! Char!
Simon: Yeah, and their snake in the grass must've been vulnerable to yours truly.
Kevin: Not quite... You probably just got a lucky shot in... That, or Team Rocket's really scraping the bucket for talent.
Kid Icarus: But he floored that snake-icus with one move!
Kevin: That must be the bond between Trainer and Pokemon.
Simon: Huh?
Kevin: When a Trainer and their Pokemon get into combat, they start developing a bond so strong that the Pokemon and Trainer can actually feel how the other is feeling. It's a powerful asset, especially in this world.
Simon: <proudly> Ha! It's all in the looks!
Bulbasaur: <shaking his head> Bulba...
Scene: The entire team laughs as they continue through the valley that leads to Vermilion City. The camera pans up, as we can still hear Simon and Kevin.
Simon: Pokemon Master eh? I bet that trophy would look really nice next to my #1 Vampire Hunter trophy!
Kevin: Simon, you're impossible...
End of Part 1

Kevin: No sweat! I'll just have to fight fire with fire.
Professor Oak: What does he mean by that?
Scene: The scene switches to the interior of a room made of metal. In the middle is none other than Mother Brain. She seems to be watching everything that's happening between the N Team and Professor Oak. Eggplant Wizard is on the left and a sky blue version of King Hippo is on the right.
MB: I see. So the fools're goin' to Pokeland! Well dat's just fine with me! We'll launch a sneak attack on 'em when Kevin's Zapper ain't workin'. He'll be helpless to stop us this time!
Eggplant Wizard: <in a droopy-esque voice, slightly higher pitched, minus the depression> But, why don't we just capture those Shadow Pokemon and use them against Video Land?
King Hippo: <a tough, yet naive tone> But aren't Shadow Pokemon limited to the Gameboy games?
MB: You idiot! Shadow Pokemon were made for a console game! What dat means is they can be used on any console you can think of! They ain't limited like everything else! Well take care of Kevin, capture a bunch of Shadow Pokemon, then Video Land'll be MINE!!!
Scene: The scene fades to Pallet Town, where Kevin and the rest of the N Team are finally in the world of Pokemon. In fact, they're in Oak's laboratory.
Kevin: Whoa! And I thought I'd seen it all when I first got to Video Land! I never would've guessed I'd be in the world of Pokemon!
Professor Oak: Yes. And since you're here, you'll be needing a Pokemon to help you find Ash.
Kevin: That's right. We won't get very far here without one.
Professor Oak: Now, step right over here.
Simon: Hey! Waitaminit! What am I, chopped liver?
Kevin: <chuckling> Calm down Simon! I thought you hated pets!
Simon: Pets, yes. But battle companions... That's a different story.
Kevin: Um, Professor... Can we do something about him too?
Professor Oak: I think we can. Come with me.
Scene: Professor Oak takes Kevin and Simon into the back room, where several Poke-Balls line the shelves. On the right side are more Poke-Dexs and the yellow Poke-Navs.
Kevin: Whoa... This must be like the El Dorado of Pokemon Trainers...
Professor Oak: This is where we keep all our Starter Pokemon and other equipment. Let's see...
Scene: Professor Oak grabs 3 Poke-Balls. He lays them out for Kevin and Simon to see.
Kevin: <motions to the Poke-Balls> If my memory serves me correctly, there are a Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle in these Poke-Balls...
Professor Oak: That is correct. Now... You'll each have to pick one.
Scene: Simon looks at the pictures on the wall, depicting the starters using their attacks. The Bulbasaur catches his eye.
Simon: Whips! A true vampire hunter's Pokemon! I'll go with that green one!
Professor Oak: Ahh! A Bulbasaur! Always a good choice.
Kevin: Well then, I'll go with a Charmander. Hard to use at first, later on they're practically unstoppable!
Professor Oak: I see you like a challenge.
Scene: Professor Oak hands the two their appropriate Poke-Balls. Kevin immediately lets out his Charmander. Duke begins sniffing the Pokemon.
Kevin: It's ok boy. Charmander's gonna be traveling with us while we're here.
Charmander: Char!
Simon: <noticing the flame on Charmander's tail> Oh no! Kevin! Charmander's on fire!
Kevin: Wait a sec! He's not...
Simon: Allow me!
Scene: Simon lets out Bulbasaur.
Simon: Bulba-whatever! Put out that fire with your trusty whip!
Bulbasaur: <shakes its head> Bulba...
Simon: Whaddya mean, bulba?! I thought you had whips!
Kevin: Simon, he's a starter Pokemon. He probably doesn't know Vine Whip yet...
Simon: Uh, right! I knew that! No problem, little friend! I'll just have to teach it to you later!
Scene: Simon is handed a Poke-Dex. Afterward, the three head back to where the N Team is.
Professor Oak: Well, I guess I should tell you what I know. Ash and the gang left here awhile ago for the Orre Region. Somewhere between here and Vermilion City, they must have gotten lost...
Kevin: Ash... getting lost? I would've never guessed...
Mega Man: Don't worry about it! We'll find your mega-friends and bring them back.
Gameboy: beep boop blip FEAR NOT!
Kid Icarus: I can fly in the sky and see them from far away-icus.
Kevin: I guess we should get going...
Scene: The entire N Team leaves, just as Professor Oak comes to a realization.
Professor Oak: Oh no! I forgot to tell them about our problem... I hope Kevin really is the Game Master...
Scene: In the bushes in front of Professor Oak's laboratory, three figures pop out. They are none other than Jessie, James and Meowth.
Meowth: Did you hear dat?
Jessie: The twerps are missing. This would be a good opportunity to steal every Pokemon we come across.
James: And with no Pikachu to electrocute us, we'll get away scott-free!
Meowth: But what about those guys? Dat kid is called da Game Master!
Jessie: Game Master?! AS IF this is a game...
James: Why don't we swipe those new Pokemon the so-called Game Master just got?
Jessie: Now you're talking... Let's catch up to them.
Scene: Team Rocket sneak along the path from Professor Oak's laboratory to Route 1. They take the cardboard bush with them on the way (it's at this time we find out it's cardboard) and use it to hide themselves. Meanwhile, on Route 1, Simon Belmont is cracking his whip in front of him in an attempt to 'show' Bulbasaur how to use Vine Whip.
Simon: See, like this! <cracks whip> Then this, <again> and this <once more>.
Bulbasaur: <closes eyes and shakes his head> Bulba...
Scene: Kevin, on the other hand is just walking casually with Charmander at his side.
Kevin: Let's see if I remember this... If we veer off a bit to the right here... there should be a short cut that will take us to the other side of the mountains... Ash and his friends probably used it too, since the only other way to Vermilion is through two cities...
Scene: Kevin heads off the path slightly, followed by the N Team. Eventually, he comes to what appears to be a narrow valley covered in vines.
Kevin: Alright Charmander! Ember!
Charmander: Charrr!
Scene: Charmander breathes fire, which clears the vines out of the way, revealing a path through the mountains.
Kevin: I knew it!
Voice: <from behind> Not so fast!
Scene: Kevin turns around, as the screen is now sporting a pixilated background.
Kevin: Oh no... It must be...
Jessie's Voice: Prepare for Trouble, you wannabe Game Master!
James' Voice: And make it double, for it'll soon be a disaster!
Jessie's Voice: To protect the world from devastation...
James' Voice: To unite all people within our nation...
Jessie's Voice: To denounce the evils of truth and love...
James' Voice: To extend our reach to the stars above...
Jessie: <appearing from out of nowhere> Jessie!
James: <also appearing from out of nowhere> James!
Jessie: <as a big pixilated 'R' appears in the background> Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now, or prepare to fight fight fight!
Meowth: <jumping up from below, somehow> Meowth! Dat's right!
Wobbuffet: Woooobbuffeeeet!
Scene: As SBaby's hands stop aching from the typing, the background returns to normal as Kevin makes the obvious long-awaited realization.
Kevin: You're Team Rocket!
Simon: <totally impressed, as he would be> Wow! <claps> That was amazing! You've gotta teach me how to do that!
Meowth: You wanna become a member?
Kevin: No he doesn't, Meowth! <attempts to pull out his Zapper, but doesn't have it> Oh no! I forgot! I can't use my Zapper in this world!
Charmander: <to Kevin> Char!
Kevin: But maybe...
James: Enough games! <pulls out a Poke-Ball> Cacnea! <throws the Poke-Ball, and Cacnea emerges>
Jessie: <pulls out a Poke-Ball too> Seviper! <throws it, and Seviper emerges>
Kevin: Wow, a real live Pokemon battle!
Mega Man: Don't forget about us!
Kid Icarus: I'll back you up, Kevin-icus!
Gameboy: GAMEBOY IS COMPATIBLE WITH THIS CARTRIDGE!
Kevin: Thanks guys, but I wanna see if I can handle this one.
Simon: I'll handle them! Bulbasaur! Time to use those moves I taught you! Use your trusty Vine Whip on that snake in the grass!
Kevin: Wait! Simon! You can't just...
Bulbasaur: Bulbasaur!!!
Scene: Somehow, Bulbasaur brandishes a Vine Whip attack.
Kevin: Wow, he pulled it off... But it's still...
Jessie: Amateurs! Seviper, Poison Tail!
Scene: As the Vine Whip nears its target, Seviper's tail lights up and slams the attack back, causing it to hit Simon in the face.
Simon: <one hand to his face> Ouch! My face! My beautiful face!
Jessie: Trust me. It's an improvement.
Simon: <a look of sheer rage, and a red welt across his face> What... did you say?!
Kevin: Uh oh...
Scene: James now has a worried look on his face.
Jessie: You heard me! Your face could stop a clock!
Simon: Why... you... little... Bulbasaur! Take out that Seviper!
Scene: Bulbasaur goes into a massive Tackle Attack, sending Seviper into a tree. Jessie is stuck with a look of sheer awe.
Kevin: Right! Charmander! Ember on Cacnea!
Scene: Charmander breathes fire right toward Cacnea, and soon the grass Pokemon is engulfed in flames. After the display, burn marks can be seen all over it, as it has the familiar 'faint' look.
Simon: Now Bulbasaur! Hit 'em with one more for the road!
Scene: Bulbasaur charges right toward Jessie, James and Meowth, causing them to somehow launch into the sky on impact, with their Pokemon.
Jessie, James, and Meowth: Team Rocket's blasting off again!!!
Scene: In no time, the trio are nowhere in sight. The rest of the N Team gather to congratulate each other.
Mega Man: Wow! That was mega-awesome how you took care of them like that!
Kevin: No biggie. James must've forgotten that Cacnea's a Grass Pokemon, making it most vulnerable to fire!
Charmander: Char! Char!
Simon: Yeah, and their snake in the grass must've been vulnerable to yours truly.
Kevin: Not quite... You probably just got a lucky shot in... That, or Team Rocket's really scraping the bucket for talent.
Kid Icarus: But he floored that snake-icus with one move!
Kevin: That must be the bond between Trainer and Pokemon.
Simon: Huh?
Kevin: When a Trainer and their Pokemon get into combat, they start developing a bond so strong that the Pokemon and Trainer can actually feel how the other is feeling. It's a powerful asset, especially in this world.
Simon: <proudly> Ha! It's all in the looks!
Bulbasaur: <shaking his head> Bulba...
Scene: The entire team laughs as they continue through the valley that leads to Vermilion City. The camera pans up, as we can still hear Simon and Kevin.
Simon: Pokemon Master eh? I bet that trophy would look really nice next to my #1 Vampire Hunter trophy!
Kevin: Simon, you're impossible...

Ah. The good old days. I remember watching Captain N every weekday morning, so this story worked very well for me.
The way you wrote Poke'mon into the TV show is very good. I really enjoyed reading this story, especially the way the characters interacted. It was a perfect match to that of the TV show.
Overall, rather imaginative. Nicely done!
