C. Cowboy: hey guys! I came up with this idea about the forth time I saw the Spider-Man movie, yes the forth time, and it is that d*** good. Anyway, this starts off with Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu on their way to Golden Rod City, where Misty has been asked to fill in for Whitney as the Gym Leader. But in route Ash comes across a couple of things that change his life forever. AAMR fans don’t shoot me yet; it’s just starting out, ok? Now, lets ‘swing’ into the story. Read and Review!

 

Chapter 1: Changes

 

TRHQ, Goldenrod City:

 

“How’s the experimentation going Professor?” Giovanni said walking toward an old man in a white lab coat, “We have yet to successfully copy the Mew genes used in the Mewtwo project, but we have had minimal success in the ‘Super Pokémon’ project.” Giovanni scowled slightly “Minimal?” the old man nodded “Yes only one Pokémon has survived the radiation therapy. Do you wish to see it sir?” Giovanni nodded and the old man led him into another room with a glass cage in the center, “This Spinarak is the only survivor of the project.” The large cage was filled with cobwebs and in the hanging in the center was one single green and yellow spider-type Pokémon.

 

“Very interesting Professor, what can you tell me about it.” Giovanni said looking at it through the glass, “Well Sir, its natural abilities have been amplified 50 time it’s natural level.” Then the door came open and Jessie and James walked in, “Boss, you have a phone call from ‘Agent Hobgoblin’.” James said carrying the phone, after all their recent failures Giovanni brought them to the main HQ to give them ‘assignments more on their level’. Giovanni nodded and grabbed the phone “yes.” “This is Agent Hobgoblin reporting in.” Said the voice on the other end, “What have you to report. “The group is going to spend a few weeks in Goldenrod City, the girl has been asked to fill in for the City’s Gym Leader, no sign on when the boy will make it to the Indigo Stadium again.” Giovanni nodded taking in the knowledge, “Stay with them, if the Ketchum boy is half the trainer is anything like his father he will be back at Indigo in no time, just try to keep them from finding TRHQ, do you understand.” The voice was silent for a moment, “Yes Sir, I’ll do what I can. Hobgoblin out.” Giovanni clicked off the phone and about blew a gasket, “DON’T OPEN THAT!!!!” Giovanni screamed as Jessie and James were looking in the glass cage, “Hey Jess, what do you think’s in here?” all of the sudden the Spinarak leapt out of the cage and jumped up through the air vent. “DON’T LET IT GET AWAY!” Jessie and James looked at each other “ummm… too late boss.”

 

A few hours later, five miles south of Goldenrod:

 

Ash and Misty were in the deep part of the river swimming and playing together. “Face it Ash I’m way better then you in the water!” Misty said splashing him again. “What no argument yet?” Brock said walking up, “Where’d you disappear to Brocko?” Ash asked looking on shore at the older boy, “I just went to look for… some wild fruits and berries. Yeah that’s it… fruits and berries!” Then something made some rustling in the bushes. “What was that?” Ash asked to no one particular. “Probably just the wind Ash.” Misty said stepping out of the river, causing Ash to completely forget about the noise. He couldn’t help but stare at Misty in her little blue bikini. “I’m going to go get changed be back in a few guys.” Misty said walking into the forest with her backpack. “Ash close your mouth before bugs fly into it.” Brock said teasing the younger teen. Ash shook his head, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Brock, Pikachu, and Togapi just laughed him, “Whatever you say Romeo, now go get some firewood for tonight.” Ash nodded and ran into the woods.

 

Ash walked around picking up sticks while humming the Pokémon theme when he heard a familiar voice. “Why you still running around with that loser?” Ash looked around the tree he was under, ‘Gary?’ he thought. Ash looked and saw Gary standing there WITH Misty. ‘What’s going on?’ “Hey he is my best friend, so stop calling him a loser!” Misty griped at Gary causing Ash to smile, ‘That’s my Mist…WHAA???’ Ash thought as Gary slowly moved his face closer to Misty’s, “ok, what ever you say, baby…” Gary said as he kissed her, and Ash’s heart shattered. It even broke more as he saw her put her arms around him and kiss back. ‘No…’ Ash thought as he threw down the wood in his hand and ran. Gary then broke the kiss, “Why haven’t you told him about us.” Misty looked down sadly, “I…I really care about him, he’s my best friend, and he really, really hates you and I don’t want to ruin our friendship.” Gary just nodded, “What if he finds out on his own?”

 

Ash ran deeper and deeper into the forest, tears running down his face, he finally stopped at a tree and began to pound his fists against it, little did he know that a Pokémon was watching him, slowly a Spinarak slid down on a web line and landed on Ash’s shoulder, without him noticing it. He then felt something crawling on his shoulder and reached to see what it was and when he pulled it to his view he let out a startling scream scaring the Spinarak. The Spinarak in fear bit into Ash’s hand and jumped away and scurried off. Ash cradled his bleeding hand when his whole body began to tingle, “What’s…happening… to me… was…that… a… poison…sting…?” Ash stuttered as his vision went blurry and he collapsed.

 

The next morning…

“BROCK! BROCK! WAKE UP!!” Brock slowly started to stir and looked up from his sleeping bag, “What are you doing, Misty?” Misty just shook him harder, “BROCK! ASH DIDN’T COME BACK LAST NIGHT!” Brock finally realized what she was saying and shot up, “WHAT?? Ok lets split up and look for him!”

 

Pikachu shot through the woods in his own direction, following his master’s sent, “PIKAPI!” Pikachu called out his name for Ash, and then he saw him lying on the other side of a gorge. Ash slowly started to stir. Ash looked around, and saw Pikachu. He felt really weird almost light as a feather, “hey Pikachu!” He said waving, he then notice Pikachu was staring at him in shock, “what is it Pika-pal?” Ash asked when he felt a strange buzzing feeling in the back of his head, and on instinct jumped into the air doing a back flip, narrowly missing a group of five beedrills doing a dive bomb attack. Ash landed on the side of a tree and hung onto the side by only his toes and his fingertips. Still going by instinct pointed his palm toward them and touched his middle fingers to his palm and somehow shot a webbing-like string, and completely wrapped four of the beedrills up. The last of the beedrills then attacked again, and once again Ash leapt into the air, and swung around a tree limb till he settled on the top squatting, he then pointed his fist toward the beedrill and shot several needle-like projectiles. Every one of them made contact to the beedrill, making it pass out and fall to the ground.

 

Ash then jumped to the ground and looked at the five beedrills and their predicament he put them in. Ash then pulled out Dexter and pointed it at the Beedrills, “Dexter, name the attacks used on these Pokémon.” The minicomputer was quiet for a moment before it’s voice spoke out ‘it appears to be using a webbing wrap attack and a poison sting attack. Both attacks appear to have been done by a high level Spinarak.’ Ash stared in shock, “Webbing? Poison sting? A-A Spinarak? What...what’s happening to me?”
