My Fanfic! Pokemon Advanced!

[~Zero~]

Chapter I

In the Slateport City Pok?mon center, the morning came slowly as many trainers emerged, stretching and yawning, shuffling slumberously from the hall of rooms where the trainer slept while staying at the center. In a corner at the far end, four trainers, Ash, Brock, May, Max and I sat in the dining hall, eating and talking as we slowly regained consciousness.

?Well, it looks like you two are going for your third badge at the Mauville Gym.? Brock said, a tall, well-built pokemon breeder of 17 with spiked brown hair, a brown jacket, green shirt and dark brown cargo pants.

?Yeah. What?s your strategy going to be?? Max asked, a short blue haired little kid of about nine with glasses, a green shorts sleeved shirt and blue shorts.

?Just goin? straight in for a victory!? Ash said beside me. Ash was about my age with black hair that had a bad case of hat hair, a blue jacket and gray jeans and a Pikachu sat on his shoulder.

?That?s my plan, you know, once I?m not completely brain dead.? I said, taking a sip from my Hoenn Pride mug. I was of medium height with blue eyes under my bushy brown hair and wore a green and red open jacket with a white shirt and blue jeans.

?Are you sure? I mean, your match against Brawly was a close one. How do you know that this match will be easy?? May asked, a beautiful girl with long brown hair, that stuck out on both sides under a red pokeball bandanna. She also had beautiful sapphire blue eyes, a collared red shirt, blue and white gloves, and dark-blue, almost black shorts covered by a white skirt. She was Max?s older sister and my Girlfriend.

?You mean your not always brain dead? Wow?? Max commented and jeered.

?Very funny, Max. But, yeah. How hard can I be for a great trainer like myself.? I said with confidence.

?Pi.? Said My Pichu, a small baby pokemon with soft yellow fur, cute little black eyes, pink cheeks, black ears and a little black tail.

Then, suddenly, the bright and beautiful day outside suddenly turned to a dark, menacing thunderstorm, Rain falling in drenching sheets. Lightning cracked outside the window and in an instant, it was gone.

?Whoa, what was that?? May asked, pondering.

?It doesn?t matter, because I?m gonna get that third badge!? I said, still confidant, even though I was curious about the lightning.

?Your still full of that false confidence.? Said a sneering voice behind us. We turned around to see a black haired, medium sized boy with startling green eyes and jet-black hair. His trench coat seemed to flow, even though he wasn?t moving.

?Shane. It?s been awhile.? He sneered.

?Drew.? I said resentfully.

?Who?s Drew?? Ash asked.

?My rival.? Drew and I had always been competing with each other since we were little, and he always thought he was better than I was. And he had proven himself right from time to time.

?So, you?re still training Pok?mon, huh. I figured you would of gotten the clue that you just can?t train Pok?mon after I creamed you in the final exam at school.?

May sat beside me, growling slightly, getting angry. Only two things made her mad; People feeling sorry for themselves and people making fun of her friends. For his sake, he needed to shut up.

?Oh Yeah! I?m a far better trainer than you are! The match was a close tie, and you know it!? I exclaimed. I hated when he brought that up.

?I?m glad you found some friends. I guess even a major loser like you should have one friend.? The said, in his pompous, arrogant voice.

May closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, her left eyebrow twitching as Drew cackled.
?That?s enough! You take that back! He?s not a loser!? May said, her blue eyes flashed with anger.

?Aww, man. You have your Girlfriend stick up for you? Your are more of a loser than I thought!?

?What do you want, anyway! Don?t you have other people to annoy?? I snapped.

?Wow. Looks like he?s a bit of a hot head like you, Ash.? Max said quietly.

Drew ignored me ?I mean really. If you wanted to date an empty minded fool, why not a Slowbro. You might actually get something out of it.? He laughed at his own joke. That?s what I hated the most. He?d insult me, and then laugh like it was the funniest thing in the world.

?Girl, get with a real Trainer like me. I?ll show what a real guy is like.? I was brinking on the edge of coming out and breaking his pointed nose. He insults me, then he tries to steal my girl, I don?t think so.

?No way, not in a million years! He happens to be the nicest and strongest pokemon trainer I know. I wouldn?t trade him for anything.? May retaliated.

?Looks like your too attached to him. Sad, really. I?m mean brown hair, dude. Try something original.? Drew said.

?Oh, yeah. Black is soooo great.? I said sarcastically, ?You look like something a Snorlax pulled out of its butt! Besides, don?t you have to be some where??

?Quiet, loser.? Drew said, and turns again towards May.

?That?s enough, Drew! I know for a fact that he?s an excellent Trainer and Coordinator!? Brock retorted.

?Pichu!? My Pichu exclaimed.

?He?s not just my boyfriend, he?s my best friend, too!? May retorted.

?And he?s a good friend to have!? Max chimed in.

?That?s right.? Ash added.

?Besides, I could beat you hands down while blindfolded!? I said, challenging him.

?Oh yeah!? Drew shot back.

?Yeah!? We stared at each other with fire in our eyes.

?Then you would mind trying to prove it in a match. Not that you?ll win.?

?Why you!? I lunged forward at him, ready to fight, when May grabbed the back of my shirt and pulled me back. She looked me dead in the eye, her blue eyes blazing.

?I hate this guy as much as you do, Shane.? She whispered in my ear, ?But if you just lunge at him, you won?t prove anything.? I knew she was right. She always knew how to calm me down.

Under the bright morning sun shining in the sapphire sky, we stood in the grassy plain outside, Drew and I stared each other down.

?This will be a three on three elimination match between Shane and Drew. There is no time limit! Let the match begin.? We stood, staring at each other for a minute before making a move.

?Let?s do this! Voltorb, Go!? The round, red and white Pok?mon rolled around on the field. It kind of looked like a pokeball.

?Ralts, let?s go, buddy!? Ralts, a cream-colored psychic pokemon had a tan colored, helmet like growth with two red horns on each side on its head, shadowing brown eyes. Ralts is one of my personal favorite Pok?mon because of its strength and cuteness.

?Go! Confusion!? I commanded.

Ralts glared menacingly at voltorb. Grinning mischievously, it raised its claws and flashed its sharp edges. Voltorb panicked as the psychic Pok?mon jumped into the air. Stretching its arms and its body glowing blue, it lifted voltorb into the air using telekinesis. Voltorb sweat-dropped as it rose higher and higher.

?Great job! Now throw it into the ground!? Ralts tensed its small body, its body glowing bright. Ralts forcefully slammed the round electric Pok?mon into the ground, Voltorb groaning before exploding in a puff of black smoke. As the thick black smoke cleared, Ralts stood tall above voltorb.

?Volt..orb?? It said weakly.

?Return, Voltorb! You got lucky. Try this! Mightyena go!? Drew commanded. The Dog Pok?mon fur was as black as night, and its roar was the most terrifying sound, especially to someone like me because I have a terrible fear of dog Pok?mon.

?Whoa! That?s pretty scary.? May said, also looking into Mightyena?s fierce stare.

?That?s Mightyena?s Intimidate. Works pretty good, if you ask me.? Brock commented.

?Shadow Ball!? Mightyena inhaled deeply, its teeth baring threateningly. It fired a dark ball of energy from its mouth, engulfing Ralts with the black as night attack. The air was thick with dust, and the two Pok?mon panted. Ralts fell over, charred and damaged. It struggled to get up, but the damaged Pok?mon couldn?t get up. Dark type attacks like Shadow Ball were super effective against Psychic Pok?mon.

?Ralts, return! You did good, buddy.? Reaching back for another pokemon, I threw a silver Premier Ball, and in a blaze of light, appeared a Beautifly, a Butterfly Pok?mon with gorgeous wings and a long thin nose it uses to suck the pollen out of flowers.

?Let?s do this, Beautifly, use Silver Wind!? Beautifly?s wings glowed silver before it flapped them vigorously, kicking up a silver colored wind that slammed into Mightyena.

?It hit! That was awesome, they might win!? Max said.

?Yeah, and that looked to be a serious critical hit! Keep it up you guys!? Brock called out.

?Mightyena, get up! You wimp! Get up now!? Drew commanded. ?Return!? This was his mistake as a trainer. He may have beaten me in Final Exam at school, but her didn?t have the relationship with his Pok?mon like I had with mine.

?This is it! Go Machop!? the superpower Pok?mon flexed its arms and stomped its feet. Beautifly didn?t shake its attitude.

?Beautifly, Gust attack, Go!? Beautifly flapped its wings and kicked up a powerful small tornado that slammed into the muscular Pok?mon. Flying attacks did tons of damage to fighting and Grass Pok?mon.

?You?ll have to do better than that!? Drew called out. Machop was able to get back up! I needed to think of a strategy and fast.

?Beautifly, try Silver Wind!? The barrage of Silver Wind attacks struck Machop, who stumbled around dazed.
?Machop use mega punch! Crush this wimp!? The glowing, silver colored fist failed to strike Beautifly.

?Since Beautifly is a Flying Pokemon, those attacks wont do any damage.? Max said.

?Lets show them what we can do, Beautifly! Fly into the air!? Beautifly, being a dual Bug/flying Pok?mon, was able to fly hundreds of feet into the air. Drew and Machop feebly tried to find Beautifly among the white clouds.

?Beautifly, use Hidden Power Attack!? From the clouds, a bright multi-colored beam slammed into Machop, dust flying into the air. Beautifly descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

?Ma?chop?? Machop fell to the ground with a dull thud, fainted.

?So, who?s a loser, huh? You are! Uh huh! Uh huh! Uh huh!? I taunted in a singsong voice, my friends sweat-dropping from embarrassment.

?You?ve won this time, but I?ll be back. And next time, you?ll be the one losing.? Drew said spitefully before walking away.

?I?d like to see that!? I called victoriously.

?Great job, Beautifly. Return.? I recalled Beautifly into its pokeball, disappearing in a flash of red light.

?Hope we never see him again.? May said.

?Do you think you were a little immature with the way you taunted him?? Max asked.

?Nah. The way I see it, getting in someone?s face and saying, ?ha ha I?m better than you? is a part of life.? I said.

?O..kay?? Max trailed off.

?May, I want to thank you for standing up for me back there.? I said.

?I just did it because that?s what friends do. You would do that for me, right??

?Of course.? I said, and she gave a quick smile, like she already knew the awnser.

The sun shone down brightly. Almost, too brightly. It grew hotter and hotter every minute. At first, I only noticed the heat, but then as the minutes passed, everyone else started to feel the heat.

?How could it have gotten this hot this fast?? May asked, wiping her forehead.

?Pika?? Replied Ash?s Pikachu.

?I don?t know, but we should get back to the Pok?mon center, where it?s cool.? Brock said. We hurried to the Pok?mon center. With every step the ground seemed to get hotter and hotter. The heat eventually started to radiate through the bottoms of our shoes. Beside me, May groaned. She was, hot and almost dehydrated.
She looked like she was about to faint as sweat dripped down her face. She stumbled forward onto the pavement, standing on her hands and knees.

?May! Are you okay?? Max asked.

?Ash. We should hurry to the pokemon center before someone else faints.? My Pichu sat on the pavement, panting, as did Pikachu.

With May leaning on my shoulder, Pichu in my arms, we hurried to the pokemon center and walked through the sliding doors. We felt a very welcome rush of cool air as we walked in. Inside were scores of trainers and Pok?mon trying to stay cool in the unexpected heat wave.
?Wow. Looks like everyone?s trying to stay cool.? Ash said. The tables and couches were already filled, some people and Pok?mon even sitting on the floor, while many stood under the air ducts.

We found a spot near the window, and since it was the only available spot, we sat down at the table. Looking out the window May stared at the clouds.
Suddenly, she saw something. Among the clouds, she could barely see a light pink pokemon with a long tail; it?s edges glowing blue.

?What?s that? It looks like Mew.? May said thoughtfully.

?What. May, sis I think the heats getting? to ya.? Max said, trying to talk sense into his delusioned sister.

?I know what I just saw, Max.? May said

?Are you sure?? I asked. I thought the heat was getting to her too.

?Yeah. Very sure.? May said, again staring out the window. I thought she might be right. We did see Mew once before. But if it was Mew, what was it doing here? I needed to find the awnser.

 

[Firemaker]

It was good but you should have a prolouge. Like who Shane and Drew are and how he met up with Ash and co.

CHAPTER II

We stared out the window into the sky, but no sign of Mew. We gave up, thinking that that May was seeing things. Then, out of the white fluffy clouds, something fell from the sky with amazing speed.

In an instant, it slammed into the ground, sending up a cloud of thick dust. We rushed outside and huddled around. No one spoke. We just stared at the ground, amazed. Mew, the legendary pokemon, lay on the ground, injured and unconscious.

"What happened to it?" Max asked. No one awnsered.

"Poor thing." May said, scooping the light pink, cat like pokemon in her arms.
"what happened to it. Mew are supposed to be able to block any attack with no effort, but it looks like it got beaten pretty bad." Brock said, running his fingers on its wounds. Suddenly, Mew twitched and opened its eyes; the bright blue I remembered now was dull.

It jumped out of May's arms, attempting to fly, but it again fell to the ground. I picked it up and held it close to me to get it to calm down, but it was thrashing and struggling.

"Hey, settle down! It okay. Just calm down." Max said reassuringly.
Mew stopped struggling and settled down.

"We should take it in to Nurse Joy. She would know what to do." I said. But then, as we started to walk back in, several metallic hands shot from the sky, trapping Mew, and Pikachu. Cheeks sparking, Pikachu thunderbolted the hands that held them tightly, but the shocks were just absorbed.

Then, from further up in the sky, we heard evil laughter, and we knew exactly who it was. In the sky floated a Meowth shaped balloon, and inside the basket, stood Team Rocket, three pokemon thieves bent on stealing Pikachu.

"Hey, what's going on here!" Ash exclaimed, despite the fact he knew the awnser, since this happened on a day-to-day basis.

"Prepare for trouble, we've got your Pikachu!" said a Female voice from the balloon. It was Jesse, the female half of Team Rocket and self-proclaimed leader, who came from being poor and failing to be a Pokémon Nurse before joining Team Rocket.

"And Make it double, we have a Mew, too!" Came a Male voice. That was James, the Male half of Team Rocket and usually is the lackey, despite coming from a wealthy southern family before running away. Having heard this Hundreds of times, Ash cut it short.

"Pikachu! Use thunderbolt!" Pikachu gave it all it's got; the light was so bright we shielded our eyes while Team Rocket babbled incoherently from the electrical shocks. The light faded and we looked, expecting to see Team Rocket's balloon smoldering on the ground, but instead it still floated in the air, intact and still holds our pokemon with a death grip, Team Rocket laughing mockingly.

"They must have some kind of energy absorbing machine!" I exclaimed. Then, with a metallic clanging, a four-foot silver satellite dish unfolded from a trap door under the balloon basket and pointed towards us. The round tip glowed and sparked, the air becoming charged and tense.

"What is that?" May called out.

Then, without warning, all of Pikachu's thunderbolts that the machine absorbed were sent hurling back to us. The sharp, painful shocks ran through our bodies faster that a Dodrio as we cried out in pain.

The force flung us to the ground, where we lay huddled and smoldering and groaning from the shock. I picked myself up, and stood to my feet; despite I still felt the sting from the shock, as did everyone else.

May and Max stood up beside me, May rubbed her head, obviously still feeling it, too. Everyone else managed to stand up.

"Everyone okay?" I asked. Ash shook it off.

"Not like it haven't been shocked before." Brock seemed to recover quickly also.

"How do you like our Zap Back mark three? It sends back your electrical attacks with twice the power!" Meowth cackled.

"Give 'em another taste." Jesse sneered. Meowth laughed as it slapped its paw on the red button. The dish again began to charge and glow and before we could react the machine hurled another bolt of thunder at us. May and Max clung to each other behind me.
Again the sharp, painful shocks ran through our bodies, causing blinding pain. The force flung us back down to the ground, where again we lay huddled and smoldering and groaning from the shock.

I picked myself up, and I grabbed a pokeball, as did Brock and Ash and tossed them into the air.
A Foretress, a Treecko and a Mudkip burst out in a flash of light, tensed and ready to fight.

Mudkip stood in a fighting stance, it's blue fin on its blue head standing erect, drooping orange gills on its cheeks, a small blue body with a light blue belly and light blue fin-like tail, it's name was Mudders, my beloved starter Pokémon.

Next was Foretress, a large round, silkworm Pokémon with four red spikes around the black space that served as its body, spinning around rapidly.

Treecko was a green, gecko like Pokémon with yellow eyes a thick, heavy tail that it used to deliver devastating physical attacks.. It stood with a twig stuck from its mouth, adding to its calm and cool demeanor.

May also regained her strength and threw two Pokeballs, and Torchic, a small, red-orange bird with three feathers on its head, cute black eyes and little wings that looked more like fur.

Torchic tensed its little body and Beautifly, a big butterfly Pokémon with beautiful wings, focused, ready to battle.

"Mudders, Water Gun!" Mudders inhaled deeply, its chest puffed up with air. Lunging its head forward, it sent out a jet of water from its mouth, soaking the grass in its path and engulfing the Zap Back dish with water, causing it to explode in a puff of smoke. Team Rocket jumped back, startled.

"That water toy broke my toy!" Meowth cried. Without realizing what it had done, Meowth tripped and fell on the release button for the metal hands, and Pikachu and Mew were freed, and they ran back to us.

"Beautifly, use Silver Wind! Torchic, use Ember!" May called out to her Beautifly and Torchic.

"Foretress, use Rapid Spin!" Brock called out to Foretress.

"Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Ash called to Pikachu, who tensed its body, sparks flying from its cheeks.
Beautifly cried loudly into the air. The butterfly like Pokémon flapped its winds rapidly and kicked up a silver colored wind that slammed into Team Rocket.

Torchic opened it little beak. The red-orange firebird shot out hot embers that hit team rocket with hard force and popped the balloon, hurling it to the ground.

Finally, Pikachu surrounded itself with bright electrical energy, and it discharged thousands of volts of electricity from its body. Team Rocket babbled incoherently as the shock hit them before the balloon exploded, sending team rocket flying through the air.

"They didn't have to be so nasty!" Jesse whined.

"We get shocked all the time, and we aren't that mean!" James added.

"Maybe because we can never beat those twerps!" Meowth snapped.

"Team Rocket's blasting off way too soon!" and with that, they disappeared
from sight.

"Well, that's over. Great job, Pikachu." Ash said, Pikachu jumping on his
shoulder.

"Nice job, Torchic. You too, Beautifly." May said, rubbing Torchic's soft down feathers, while Beautifly sat on her head.

"Tor-chic!" Torchic peeped.

"Mudders, that was awesome. Great job." It rubbed its cool blue skin on my cheek. I had received Mudders from Professor Birch and we had grown very close.

"Mud-Mudkip!" Mudders replied happily.

"We should head back to the Pokémon Center." Max suggested.

We hurried back to the Pokémon Center, and Nurse Joy took Mew into intensive care. We sat in the waiting room, waiting impatiently. Sitting beside me May giggled as she looked through a red book. Written on it was "Shane and May". It was the scrapbook we were making together.

"Remember this. It's from when we went shopping together." I looked at the picture. It was of May that was taken four days ago. She was standing in front of a dressing room door, wearing a Pink floral T-shirt, a white skirt and a tropical flower in her hair.

"I remember. I never though you could run so fast through a clothing store before that. Boy, I was wrong. You did the shopping, and I did the dropping." I said. She smacked me playfully on the chest and smiled.

"It is a great picture of you, though." I said.

"How can you be calm at a time like this?" Max asked, indignant, folding his arms across his chest.

Then, the door opened, and Nurse Joy walked out with a clipboard in her arms. She smiled and said, "Mew will be fine. It needs a good nights sleep and it'll be back to normal." Just then, Brock burst from his seat and grabbed Joy's hands.

"Maybe while Mew is resting, you and I could go out for dinner, my sweet." Brock always got like this when a beautiful woman entered the scene, especially Nurse Joy or Officer Jenny.

"Oh, Kay. Anyway, it looks like you got hurt getting Mew back from Team Rocket." She said, totally blowing Brock off.

"Yeah, my right arms still is sore. But I'll be fine" Max said, rubbing his arm.

"I fell fine too." I said, as did everyone else.

"Well, if anyone fells pain or discomfort, just tell me, Okay?" Nurse joy said, and turned around to walk into the intensive care room when the light cut out, plunging the room into darkness. The exit sign above the door glowed brightly as the only light source.

"What happened to the lights?" May asked. Suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang! Several dog-like Pokémon called Houndoom stood in the doorway, growling savagely, baring horrible teeth. I took one look, and it felt like my heart sank into my shoes as I looked at the growling Houndoom. I had a deep-rooted fear of nearly all dog-type Pokémon. The only dog Pokémon I liked was Growlithe; other than that they terrified me. I sat, rigid and trembling, and May sensed it.

"We're here for the legendary Pokémon, Mew. Were not leaving until we get it. I suggest that you hand it over if you don't want to get hurt." Said the leader, Maxie threateningly. It was Team Magma, an organization that causes trouble and is tying to catch Groudon, who is said to be able to create landmass.

"Not a chance. You'll have to take it from us, right Shane?" May said. I wanted to fight, but I was so scared and paralyzed by fear that I couldn't move.

"Shane, what's with you?" May asked, shaking my shoulder, but I didn't move, unable to move or even talk.

"I think he's scared stiff!" Max said. The Magma Grunts stormed into the room and quickly surrounded us. Ash and Brock blocked the door to the Intensive Care Unit. I snapped out of my funk, and blocked the door.

"You're not going anywhere." I said. The Houndoom barked, and I jumped back. I grabbed a poke'ball from my belt and tossed it into the air, and in a burst of light, Ralts appeared with a menacingly sly look on its face.

"Go Ralts, Headbutt!" Ralts jumped high into the air, it charged onto the dog, slamming it into the Team Magma grunt.

"Enough of this! Release the knock out gas and dispose of these pesky kids!" Barked the leader, Maxie. Blue smoke filled the room as we coughed and covered our mouths.

Suddenly, I became drowsy, and everything became blurry. I desperately tried to stay awake, but the gas overcame me. With a thump, I collapsed onto the floor, sleeping soundly.

"Shane! You okay? I…" May said before also succumbing to the sleeping gas, falling beside me with a dull thud, as did Nurse Joy, Ash, Pikachu, Brock, Max and Ralts. The lead grunt snickered from behind his gas mask. The grunts stormed the room, and emerged with mew in their arms.

"Right, let's pull out." The lead grunt said.

"Sir, what about the kids?" One asked, pointing at us lying on the floor.
"Dispose of them. We have work to do." On the roof of the Pokémon Center, a team Magma chopper took off and disappeared into the clouds that had come in; leaving us locked inside the Pokémon Center. Little did we know that we were in more danger than we knew.
