Chapter 4 is officially open. Chapter 5 is coming along just great. Thanks for everyone that e-mailed me. This took a while to write. Hope you like this chapter. Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon, Nintendo and all those other companies do. Chapter 4 Prepare for battle! "Ninetails, flame thrower!"shouted the evil Rocket. His ninetails used flame thrower on Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur's bulb caught on fire and he started to run around in panic. "BulbaBulbaBulba (Help me! Help me! Help me!)"screamed Bulbasaur in pain. "Bulbasaur, come back here!" shouted. I used my jacket to smother out the flames. When I was finished, Bulbasaur was lying really still. I checked to see if he was breathing or not. I tried to see if he had a pulse by putting my hand on his chest hoping I can locate his heart. Bulbasaur suddenly felt very cold. I knew that he was dead. "Now , fire spin on that kid!"shouted the Rocket. I looked up and saw a huge collumn of fire flying right towards me. "Bulbasaur!"I shouted waking up drenched in sweat. "Bulba.....saur,"complained Bulbasaur annoyed on the rude awakening. I looked at the glowing red numbers on my clock and realized it was 4 in the morning. I lied down on my side my back facing Bulbasaur. I felt Bulbasaur climb on me his hands hanging over my stomach to look at my face. "Bulbasaur.....(It's about tomorrow isn't it?)"asked Bulbasaur knowing that I had a nightmare. "Go back to sleep,"I said sleepily. Bulbasaur got off and went to sleep. "Bulba!!!"I heard when I woke up. I saw a bath tub full of water and was thrown in. "What are you doing?"I shouted in anger. Bulbasaur had filled the bath up with water and threw me in to wake me up. "Bulba Bulbasaur!(Trying to wake you up, sleepy head!)"said Bulbasaur. I realized my clothes were on and they were soaking wet. I got out of the tube and prepared to chase down Bulbasaur. "Look.........., milk.........,"I taunted Bulbasaur with a glass of milk. I found out that Bulbasaur likes it a lot. He made a wild grab for it with his hands but missed. I was eating breakfast right and preparing to face off with Team Rocket. If I didn't make it, it would be my last meal. "Bulbasaur Bulba! (Ok ok, I'm sorry! I won't ever do it again!)"promised Bulbasaur. "Ok, you can have it but only because you need the vitamins,"I said setting down the glass of milk. Bulbasaur gulped it down in a hurry. A bus that said 'Wilson Highschool calling all Pokémon trainers' on it appeared in front of my house. "Are you sure you'll be ok?" Mom asked worried. "Don't worry, I'll be ok!"I said as I ran out to the bus. I sat down in the empty bus. The bus driver was a fat loud-mouth black lady. She really mischievous at times too. I think she has an attitude problem and that she 'crosses the line' too much but most of the other kids thinks shes cool. Her name is Mrs. Blackwell. "HI, HOW YA DOIN'!?" she greeted me. I ignored her and petted Bulbasaur. "ARE YOU GONNA IGNORE ME!?" asked Mrs. Blackwell. I nodded. She sighed and drove out of my subdivision. After a few more stops, we finailly found another person with a Pokémon. It was my friend Stealth. He had Cubone with him. Stealth is in the 10th grade while I'm in the 9th. We met on the bus and became friends because we both liked Pokémon. Stealth is hispanic and he takes Karate lessons. "Hey, how are you doing?" said Stealth. He sat down next to me with Cubone on his lap. "Hey," I greeted. "So...........are you ready for Team Rocket?" asked Stealth. "I guess so but none of us are ready for Giovanni,"I said. Almost everyone knows that Giovanni is the leader of Team Rocket. The bus suddenly screeched to a stop. An Asian kid with two friends of his was in the street. The bus driver stopped just in time. If it was a second later , they would have been hit. The Asian kid was wearing a Pokémon League hat and a blue jacket over a black t-shirt. He had jeans and black sneakers on. A Pikachu was on his hat sleeping. He also carried a full green backpack on his back. His friends were one girl and one boy. The girl had red hair and wore a yellow t-shirt with suspenders. She had short jeans on and red sneakers. She carried a Togepy and a red sack. The other guy had brown hair and had eyes that looked like they were closed. He had on a green vest over his orange shirt and brown pants on. He carried a big bluegreen backpack. The kids ran to the bus dorr as it opened."ARE YOU CRAZY JUMPING OUT IN THE STREET LIKE THAT!?"shouted the bus driver. "Excuse me, but can you tell us where we are?" asked the Asian kid in a very familiar voice. I racked my brain to figure out who it was. "You're Ash Ketchum!"I shouted in excitement figuring out who the Asian kid was. He fell down on the floor clumsily. "Hey, you must have seen me on TV in the Pokémon League. I was pretty good huh?"boasted Ash. "Ash!"shouted Misty in an annoyed voice. "COME'ON, GET ON THE BUS!"shouted Mrs. Blackwell. "Growlithe growl!"growled a wild Growlithe. It seems that we have gone in its territory and was disturbing it. "Alright, I'm gonna catch it! Go Squirtle!"shouted Ash. Squirtle came out had used his watergun attack that almost knocked out Growlithe. Ash threw a pokéball and it was captured. "ALRIGHT! A new Pokémon for me!"shouted Ash happily. He recalled Squirtle. Ash amd his firend got on the bus and we started going again to the individual stops. "What's happening? How do you know my name?" asked Ash. "You're all characters of fiction that somehow came to life," I answered. Ash and his firends gave me blank stares. "So that's what happend when Bill's machine exploded," figured out Misty. "What?"asked Ash still as dense as ever. "It transported us here , wherever here is,"said Brock. "Are you gonna help us battle Team Rcoket? They took over aur school," said Stealth. "Ok , We'll help too!"exclaimed Ash loudly. The bus screeched to a stop. Everyone got off. We entered the Wilson Highschool Ninth Grade Center. There was about a hundred people inside with Pokémon. They were mostly leaning against the white walls or greenish lockers talking to friends. "I never knew so many people like Pokémon,"I said. "A hundred people is not enought to face Team Rocket," said Stealth. We began walking around. I noticed my Science teacher looking around. Mr. Bilston was his name and he was very funny. That was what made his class fun. "Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked. "To look out for you guys. It's one of those things that College never told me about,"said Mr. Bilston. That's Chapter 4. Hoped you liked it. Next chapter, the action heats up. Lucky and everyone else battles Team Rocket. A dragon unevolved Pokémon is in the next episode.
