A slight breeze stirred the trees as Ash, Brock, and Misty traveled
underneath. As usual they were lost. Ash and Misty were shouting at each
other about how it was the other's fault and Brock was trying to break it up
without getting hurt.

"If you hadn't insisted on going right back there because you saw a stupid
Bellsprout we wouldn't be lost," Misty shouted.

"Oh yeah? If you hadn't ran through the bushes after seeing that Weedle, we
definately would know where we were!" Ash countered.

At this point Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi had their hands over their ears in
hopes of shutting out the loud noise.

"I have an idea: Why don't you two be quiet before our eardrums explode!"
Brock yelled above them.

"Pika pi pikachu!" Pikachu agreed.

Togepi at this time looked like it might start crying. Ash and Misty turned
away from each other and growled.

"There," Brock sighed with relief. "That's better."

"Sure.." Misty said. "We're still lost."

Suddenly Pikachu darted down the path.

"Huh?" Ash asked. "Pikachu, come back!"

Ash ran after his Pikachu. Misty and Brock looked at each other for a
moment and after Misty grabbed Togepi, they ran down the path after him.

"Ash! Slow down!" Brock yelled.

Ash was running too fast to hear Brock, as he continued to catch up to Pikachu. Brock and Misty trailing behind.

"Pikachu!" Ash said as he finally caught up to Pikachu "Why'd you run like th-" Ash stopped himself as he looked at the elf-like person infront of him, with a doggy whistle.

"Were you the one calling Pikachu?" The elf nodded.

"I am Abara, Queen of the elves. I have been watching all of you. The three of you-"
She stopped herself "I mean, the four of you.." She smiled looking at the satisfied Pika. "..Are one of the chosen ones for an operation we call..new world"

Misty and Brock finally caught up. "Ash! Why'd Pikachu run like-" She looked at the elf with the whistle "Umm..whose he?" They than noticed a second elf beside the first, he was merely 2 feet. He walked up to Misty, and kicked her in the knee.

"The Queen, lets me take out her anger for her. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Rufus. The Queens Assistant" The little elf said looking up at Misty rubbing her knee cap.

"Owwch.." Was all Misty could say. How soon she could regret calling the Queen a he.

"Now, with the agreement of all of you, we will enter the new world" Brock and Misty looked at Ash. "New World?" Misty asked as Abara pulled out a map.

"Yes, new world. I was just getting started to explain this to your friend here when you two came in" The Queen cleared her throat. "The New World is a place where people are chosen to come to, A world in which is very peaceful and quiet. No Evil whatsoever. And those who do bring evil.." She laid the map down and got out a figure.

She placed the figure on the edge of the map, as if he was just entering the world. The figure had a red face, and two horns. As soon as it touched the map, it zapped into ashes. "..Die" She said after the deminstration.

"But, than what happens if it does that to one of us?" Ash asked

"Than, I'm afraid we didn't pick very well people, and the one of you that gets zapped to death was evil." The Queen gave a re-assuring smile "But, I'm sure none of you are evil..the metor rarely ever lies"

"Metor?" The three chorused

"Yes..That helps us find non-evil people. There are many people like this, but I guess the metor found you three first. So, are you coming to the new world, or what?"

"Huddle.." Ash said as he, Misty and Brock got into a huddle.

They began to talk about the whole thing, but in the end decided on going to this peaceful world. Ash walked over to the elf. "We've decided to go to the new world."

The elf nodded. "Of course, there will be other non-evil people there too, and Pokemon as well." She rubbed her hands together and a portal-like contraption came out. She than set the pannel. "This means, that you will be in our world for 5 years." They all nodded and boarded the portal.

Rufus set the number for the peace world, without realising he put a 2 instead of an 8. "Are we ready?" He asked "As ready as ever" Ash said holding Pikachu in his arms. "Pika-Pi" Pikachu said smiling. They boarded the Portal. It was fairly large, plenty of space for only them. Queen Araba than hit the go button and they were soon on there way.

Minutes later the portal was still making it's way to it's destination. The Real World. But of course, everyone there had thought that they were going to The elves world.

Rufus looked at his hands. They were becoming human-like, as was his feet. He noticed the same happening with Queen Araba and Pikachu. "Um..Queen, look at ur hands, and mine. This isn't suppose to happen"

The Queen did so, and gasped, going back over to look at the numbers. Ash and everyone else didn't notice this, as they were in their own conversation.

Rufus watched as his hands developed more of a human-likeness. He soon feeling as if he was being stretched. He looked in the mirror to see that he was gaining height. The Queen came back over and looked at Rufus.

"Looks like we wont be going to Our World, Ruf" She got out three pairs of human clothes. "We're going to the Real World"

Rufus took a pair of human clothes and draped it over his made-to-fit, elve clothes. They were too big, of course. But by the time they got to the real world they would fit just fine. He than took off his elves clothe and put that away. The Queen did the same.

Now, they needed to give Pikachu some clothes. The Queen took out her whistle, and blew it. Pikachu turned his head and the Queen quietly put over the clothes. Ash noticed this, but thought they were just putting them over Pikachu for a joke, so didn't ask.

They stayed in the portal for 5 minutes more, until the lights suddenly turned off and the portal seemed as if it was going to fall. It felt like an elevator dropping. Ash held on to Pikachu, not noticing that she had grown much taller and no longer had any fur.

*BAM*

They hit the bottom and the lights snapped on. Ash slowly opened his eyes.

"Is everyone alright?" He asked, suddenly noticing the girl that he was holding. "Ahhhhhh!!" He jumped up dropping the girl. She just stayed on the floor looking up at Ash strangely.

"A-Ash..that's.." Misty started but didn't finish.

"That's Pikachu" Said Rufus helping her up. Everyone screamed noticing the two elves were now humans. Just like Pikachu. The Queen stepped up, she was wearing white cackie shoes, blue jeans, a red flare shirt. Rufus had been wearing black sketchers, white pants and a light blue gap shirt.

Pikachu was wearing a pink shirt that had Old Navy writting in the middle, and Sky blue limited too shorts. She had on regular white sneakers. Abara decided she needed to explain. "I typed in the wrong number. Looks like we're going to be in a different world for five years."

Ash and Misty looked at each other. "The Real World" Rufus said taking out a cap from a bag and throwing it to Ash. "This one makes you look better" He swiped Ash's old one and put it in a brown bag, where he had gotten the clothes and put old ones in.

Ash put the hat on as Abara walked forward. She spun the cap around. "There. Looks better that way" Then she walked over to Pikachu to help her stand. Pikachu couldn't walk or talk yet, let alone do much of what a human could.

"Pikachu..get Ash to help you learn how to be a human, and pick a name. You can't go around saying your name is Pikachu for five years, a lot of people in this world dont like Pokemon"

Pikachu nodded as she was pushed over to Ash. "Now, you all obviously cant go in those clothes. She made a small giggle. There is a place to change right outside. C'mere and pick clothes"

They all picked clothes and one at a time walked outside to change while everyone waited inside the portal. Once it was your turn to change, you would go outside and see trees as far as you could see. The one opening you saw was right where you were. As if the portal had planned on landing there.

When everyone was changed they went outside the portal and couldn't recognize anyone, mainly because of the way reality made there face look. Much different from how they looked in the Anime world.

The Queen and Rufus soon taught them that they were a cartoon that was very famous around the World. Unfortuanetely though, as every fade has, there were some people who just didn't like Pokemon. She also taught them how to act, and where places were, etc.

She even helped Ash teach Pikachu how to talk..they were still working on how to get her to walk though, so Ash had to carry her around. They were still deciding on a name. While Misty, Brock and the Queen were in the portal, Rufus watched Ash and Pikachu come up with a name.

"Melissa?" Pikachu shook her head. "Victoria?" Again, Pikachu shook her head. "Hmm..what kind of name do you want?" He asked.

"Something that is unique..like Pikachu is"

"But you cant use the name Pikachu"

She nodded, "I know..but a name that is unique that I can use is what I want. Like.." She held up a sparkling rock. "Like, a name that fits this."

Ash thought for a second. He paced around for a few more. And finally sat down by Pikachu. "I got it. How about, Krystal?" Pikachu smiled.

"I like it!"

Ash than helped Pikachu stand up. "Now it's time to walk."

"Hehehe..this should be a laugh" Rufus said, they hadn't even noticed him most of the time.

Ash bent down "Hold onto this branch.." He said pointing to a tree nearby with a long branch. He moved her feet into a standing position, but turned them in alittle too much without realising it. "Ok, let go now" And as "Krystal" let go she fell forward onto Ash, who fell backwards onto the ground.

The Queen, Misty and Brock came out to see them like that and started laughing slightly. Well, Misty wasn't. Instead she kind of had this feeling of Jealousy inside of her, like she wanted to be the one Ash was helping instead of Pikachu.

"I thought Misty was the only person you liked.." Brock teased. Ash helped Pikachu up, and than got up himself. "I dont even like Misty!" He almost yelled. "And I dont like him either!" Misty cried, louder than Ash. They both looked at each other for a second and than turned around, both now facing the opposite direction.

"C'mon Ash! Misty! You guys shouldn't fight like this!" Krystal said.

"Oh yes we can Pikach-" Krystal interupted her "Call me Krystal from now on..Ash helped me pick the name. Like it?" Misty nodded, managing to get out a small smile. Krystal could tell something was up with Misty. She'd been acting weird to her ever since she became human. But, Ash had been with her most of the time since then to help her learn how to become human. So Ash nor Krystal could of done anything.

"Ok, anyways.." Said Ash bringing Krystal over to a stump. "Sit on this, and this time I'll position your feet the right way to stand up" Krystal nodded as Ash bent down again and put her feet straight outwards. "Ok, stand up" She did and this time didn't fall over.
"Am..I..?" She started to ask as Ash nodded his head. "I did it! Yay!" She jumped up and hugged Ash.

"Ok, now stand back up" He said after the hug "..And move your feet forward one at a time.." She moved one forward, than the next, then the other one, then the next, and so forth, until she was walking. "You did it!"

Abara clapped her hands. "Now, we can head over to the nearest city and move to a house somewhere around there. We've got enough money for anything you need, now, let's go" And with that, Queen Abara, Rufus, Ash, Misty, Brock and Krystal took off for the closet City.

That City happened to be Philladelphia and from their they bought a car and drove to a town closeby called The Great Valley. They bought a four-story house there(not including the basement) and bought a supply of clothes for everyone as well. They got furniture, and loads of other house equipment.

Since none of them would be able to pass for relatives, the story was that Krystal and her brother Brock were moving in with their Aunt Abaras and Uncle Rufus.(The Elves looked 20, as Krystal, Ash and Misty were 12, and Brock was 15.) And her two best friends were moving in as well with her. And they were going to stay there for five years, before all of them(Including their so-called aunt and uncle)were going to move to France.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Three years later..

"Hey Krystal! Over here!" Ash called trying to skate towards her, this not working.

Krystal quickly skated back over to Ash on her Rollerblades. "I guess it's my turn to teach you how to do something.." She said giggling. She took Ash's hand and held it. "Now, just push the blades to the side and back and you go somewhere."

He than started moving forward slightly fast, Krystal still holding his hand. "Now, to turn around or steer just push with one of the-" She was interupted by Ash turning around in one place. Misty passed by with her group of friends. They were all snotty brats who always teased the two.

"Well, well.." Said the leader-type girl in the group. Jessica. "Krystal teaching *Ashy* how to skate..hahaha..what's the matter, Ash, never had the guts to teach yourself?" Ash and Krystal just ignored them. Ash continued to try and skate. The group remained skating by them though.

Soon later, Ash could skate by himself. He skated around with Krystal for alittle bit before Jessica and Misty came up to them. "We Challenge you to a racing match, Ashy" Jessica said. "Loser leaves"

"Two against two" Misty said pointing to both teams. "Me versus Krystal, and Misty, you get to be against Ashy" They both laughed.

"We accept your challenge" Ash said.

"Good. We can finally kick your loser butts. The race is from that pole.." Misty said pointing to a pole a few feet behind them. "..To that bench down there, the one with the kid and the Pokemon cards." She pointing to a bench around 25 feet down, slightly off the rollerblading court.

"Me and Krystal will race first.." So Krystal got ready, along with Jessica. "Ready..GO!" Misty called. And they were off.

"There's no chance Krystal could beat Jessica..She's the best there is."

"We'll just see about that, Mist"

Krystal and Jessica were almost back to them, Krystal in the lead. "The names Misty.." She said pulling down her black sunglasses. Krystal taped Ash just before Misty got taped. And they were off.

Ash was alittle behind. He began to think about how Misty and him used to be best friends, having small fights that didn't mean a thing, but always forgiving each other the next day. But ever since they had gotten to this new world Misty had been acting strangely, and than she joined Jessica's clique.

Ever since then they'd been enemies. He had always had a crush on Misty and admitted it to himself too. But now, he wasn't too sure, he thought he had probably lost the Misty he once knew long ago. He sped ahead, letting anger out by pressing hard on the blades.

He was soon going really fast. The bench approached. ''Ok, time to turn around.." He whispered quietly to himself. But wait, no one ever taught him how to stop.

"Ahhhh!" He said crashing into the bench. Everything blackened.

"Ash? Ash..." He heard a few people calling his name. "Ash! Wake up, Ash!" He slowly opened his eyes. He saw Krystal and Misty in front of him, Jessica wasn't there. He slowly sat up and looked around him seeing that they had dragged him over to the grass.

"Ash! You're Ok!" Misty said hugging him. Jessica came out. "Well..Ashy couldn't even complete a race. Guess we won."

"Uh..*Misty*.." Ash said making sure to say Misty, instead of Mist. "could ya let go!" Ash cried through muffled noises. Misty than let go. "Next time though, Ash..learn how to stop." Jessica looked at Ash. "Although..he got way ahead of you Misty."

"Yeah..What motivated you that much..probably Krystal" Misty teased. "No..actually..I was just thinking about how we used to be friends, *Misty*" He than took Krystals hand. "Let's go" He said as they left to go take off their rollerblades.

Krystal looked back at Misty with sad eyes. She didn't like it when they fought. But Misty was no friend of hers or Ash's, so was happy Ash got the last comback.

When they reached the other side of the rollerblading platform they quickly took off the rollerblades and barely said a thing. Krystal had to do something to get those two back together as friends again...even if she hated Misty. Krystal had, had a very bad three years with Misty. But the weird thing was, Krystal had never talked to Misty since she was a Pikachu, and Misty couldn't understand "Pikanese"(Pikachu Language)

Krystal barely talked to anyone besides Ash. She was very shy, and no one knew much about her at school. This was caused by something Misty and Jessica had done to her. It was a deep dark secret, not even Ash knew, and she planned to keep it a secret.

All the thinking about it started to make her cry, Ash soon saw this. "What's wrong?" He asked her. "I..I can't tell you..they'll kill me" she then started to run. He followed after her.

Back with Misty and Jessica..

Misty hadn't said much since the incident. Jessica knew something was wrong and tried not to smile. 'hahahaha, the plan is working. Soon Ash and Pikachu..' She caught herself 'I mean Ash and..Krystal will be under the spell as well. Two years until we go back' She thought to herself.

Looks like Jessica is also from the Pokemon World. But what is this secret plan? Hmm..

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"And..that's what happened Ash. But..now I will be literally dead when they find out that I told you" Krystal had just managed to finish explaining what had haunted her for almost three years. She was in tears.

"That's awful.." He hugged her. "I can't believe Misty would do that..How could she do this?!"

They then emerged from the rollerblading locker rooms to go home. Krystal and Ash decided to take the back alleys to their house. This way they wouldn't end up running into Jessica or Misty. They were almost home when they heard Pokemon music. The song 2.b.a master.

They looked to see where the music was coming and accouple streets away found a kid with blond hair skateboarding to it. He had blond hair, black sunglasses, baggy jeans, and a long T-shirt on.

"So..you want to be a Master" The song sang as the kid fell off the rollerblades trying to do a flip off the small ramp he had.

"AHHHHH!!" He cried landing on his butt. He then looked up to see he had people watching him. "Uhh..Hi!" He said getting to his feet. He felt embarassed because of the fall. He then looked up to see Krystal, he thought she was pretty cute for a girl.

"You're really good at skateboarding" She said. 'Not as good as you are pretty' He thought "Thanks" He extended a hand. "The names Meow- I mean Max. Heheh, probably been watching Pokemon too much"

"You're a fan of Pokemon?" Ash asked. "Yea, of course, Pokemon's my life.." 'And that's no lie either..It is my life, literally.' Max thought to himself. "My names Ash, and this is Krystal" He said pointing to Krystal.

"So, why were you taking the back alley's anyways?" Ash sighed. "We were avoiding someone" Max nodded. He looked at his watch and gasped. "10 MINUTES TO POKEMON'S ON! LET'S RUN!" He started running as Ash and Krystal followed.

When they got to Max's house they quickly ran in the front door and went upstairs to his room. He turned on the TV and went to channel 17, the WB Channel where they lived.

"Gotta Catch em' all, Pokemon!"

"Few, we just made it!" Max said as the episode began.

"Last time, are hero's went on the great S.S. Anne. But, there was a big storm and now the once proud ship has sank. With Team Rocket and Ash and friends still in the ship, things don't look good."

"Ahhhhh!" Ash cried. Was this actually him?

They all continued to watch the episode. Ash couldn't believe it. He watched the ending, this was at the part where they were about to push Team Rocket off of the small wooden raft they had built.

"ZOMBIES!" He heard himself, Misty and Brock say on the TV.

"I remember that whole thing.." he said aloud.

"So you watch Pokemon too? This episode is really old..they have season 4 out right now with Ash, Misty and Tracey"

"Tracey?" Ash and Krystal asked

"Or do you go by his japan name, Kenji?"

"Kenji?" Ash and Krystal asked again.

"Or..have you only seen the 1st season?"

They nodded slowly.

"Oh ok, I see..here.." He motioned towards a computer and walked over to it. He then went into "favorites" at the top of the AOL screen and went to Episode Guide.

"There's every single discription of every single episode.."

Krystal sat down and began to read the episodes. Max handed Ash a big book. "There's a book on the episodes" He said. Ash nodded and began to read the book.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Misty walked inside the house she had lived in for three years. When she walked in she slumped down onto the couch. She missed being friends with, Ash. And there was something she didn't like about this world.

'Hmm..what can I do? She couldn't say sorry, not after that one night, that happened a year after they came here. She than thought about an event that destroyed her friendship with Krystal forever. She smiled at that. 'That dumb-butt better not have told Ash about that night..we warned her' She thought.

She then thought about what had happened between her and Ash again.

Aunt Araba came in and saw how sad she looked. "Anything wrong, Mist?" 'Mist..the name Ash had once called her' She looked down at the floor. "Something awful" She said silently, she wasn't going to lie.

"What is?"

"Everything..but mainly one thing" She had a flashback..the scene that had ended Ash and Misty's friendship.

*Flashback*(Note: This isn't the thing that was haunting Krystal..this is something else)

It had been another normal day for everyone. They woke up, School, then Misty had gone shopping with Jessica. After that Misty, Ash and Krystal went to the park. They were walking and talking normally until Misty started a fight with Ash.

"Well, atleast you do something right"
"And what's that supposed to mean?" Ash asked.

It was a normal small-fight, but this one grew and finally got personal. Five minutes later Misty ended their friendship. "And Ash! I was never your friend and when we get back to you-know-where you better get me that bike or else! As a matter of fact, I never want to be seen near you again until the five darn years are up! get away!"

With this, Ash started running away as far as he could. Krystal stood there watching him run. "Stay here Misty, I'll go get him so you guys can settle this and end this fighting" Misty punched Krystal in the stomache hard. "DONT BOTHER, I dont want to be friends with you or Ash ever again. You both deserve to be each others friends, you're both rude, jerky and idiots!" Krystal was hunched over in pain.

Misty looked down at a rock and pointed to it. "If anyone asks, you fell on that" Misty then stomped away, back to their house. A few days later, when she told the clique, they then added Ash to their loser list.

*End Flashback*

"He probably hates me now..not just now, but ever since.." She said silently to herself, not finishing the sentence.

"Who hates you?"

"Nothing, It's nothing..I just need to be alone"

"Ok.." Queen Abara got up and left, leaving crying Misty there alone.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Krystal saw on the websites that they had Pokemon Videos. "Do you have any of those?" She asked Max and he nodded.

"Pikachu, I choose you; and Cerulean Sisters."

"Can we watch both?" Ash asked.

"If we only watch one episode from both, yeah sure" He responded and they nodded.

"How about Pikachu, I choose you, first?" Max nodded and put it on.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Jessica stood outside Misty's door and rang the doorbell. She waited for her to answer.
