Author's Note: Before I do the Odyssey, I'm going to do a short SAKRN or AAMRN depending where you're from. Yes, this is my first one, but I'm warning you, this ain't gonna be no short lovey-dovey romance. Cause' Houndoom don't play dat', you hear?! But, I'm quite happy I'm on 'parole' from high school for eleven weeks.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, never did, and never will.

Characters: This is important!

Satoshi Tajiri (Ash Ketchum) -26

"Tomorrow you should be going home Satoshi."
"But, I don't feel like I've learned anything but how to lift heavy objects, sleeping with snakes, swimming for my life, digging cornrows, delivering milk and doing your work for you."

"Uh, yeah that too…but sword dancing takes a lot energy out of ya'. Trust me. You have to build up you stamina lot Your Pokemon have gotten a lot stronger training with you. Especially your Meganium and Venusaur with their vine whip, solarbeam, and razor leaf attacks. And here's a gift from me to you." He gives him a lone narrow box, covered in velvet, with latches on the front side. When he opens it, there is a sword inside, but it looks a bit…

"Weird…"

"Well, my friend this is a sword like no other. It's made with metal alloys so it unbreakable, and any sword weaker than it will slice it in half. I put my sweat and blood into this sword, I want you to have it."

"But what about yourself?"

"I've lived a long time. That's why I decided to train you, to pass on my skills to someone else. Take the sword Satoshi, and when you you're done with it, give it to someone you really trust.

"I will." He said with determination and nodded. Just then Pikachu walked in.

"Pika pika pi, pikachu chu pika. Pikachu pika chi pika." (Come on Satoshi, we got to be in Masara (Pallet) at noon tomorrow.)

"Hey I'm not a little kid! I'll be right there! There was a time I'd be grateful to go to bed. Well, good night."

"Night to you too." Unsuspecting what was going to happen that night…

"So, this is the famous Hiyami's house."

"Don't forget what we're here for. We've got to kill the old man and take the sword."

"Yeah that shouldn't be too hard, considering he's old."

"How we gonna do this?"

"Well, since this place is miles away for people, and this guy obviously lives alone, we can have some fun." They busted down the door, shooting their machine guns with no control whatsoever, while laughing like deranged idiots. Which woke Hiyami.

"Probably another bunch of drunken idiots…" He mumbled to himself as he went to see it was. "Who are y…Ack! What did you do to my house?!"

"Allow us to introduce ourselves!"

"Prepare for trouble! And make it Double!"

"To infect the world with devastation!"

"To inblight all people in every nation!"
To denounce the goodness of truth and love!"

"To extend our wrath to the stars above!"

"Yamato!"

"Kosaburou!"

"We're Team Rocket-dan! Circling earth all day and night!"
"Surrender to us now or you'll surely lose the fight!"

"That's right!"

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

"I can’t believe they still use the same, boring, irritating motto." Satoshi was now awake from hearing the motto, and Kosaburou's voice. He didn't reveal himself, but was watching what was happening, with the sword clenched in one hand just in case.

"Pikachu pika pi pi pikachu. Pi pika pikachu chu pi pika pikachu chu chu." (I can't believe it either. I though that guy would have gotten his vocal cords looked at.) He said with his arms folded over his chest.

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

"Uh come again?" They fell over, in the pose they in after their motto, everything came crashing down.

"You playin' right?"

"How could you not have heard of the infamous Team Rocket-dan?"

"Nope doesn't ring a bell, but I must admit I don't get much though." He said rubbing the back of his head, a bit in embarrassment

"Nevermind…we came here for your sword and your life old man! So make our job easy and surrender."

"Uh, sure right…I'm up for fun and games, but come back later when there's daylight. I'm going back to bed." They shot a bullet in the wall barely missing his neck.

"We're not playin' around…"

"You want to fight fine!"

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

"Wow I'm never seen him fight before, this should be interesting."

"Pikachu pika." (This is going to be good.)

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

He started off with a roundhouse kick to their arms, making them drop their guns. Then, followed up with a barrage of punches and kicks, literally knocking them off their feet.

"Had enough yet!?"

"Heh…We're not going down that easily! Go Raticate and Hypno!"

"Go Primeape and Golbat! Go get him!"

"Don't think I don't have Pokemon too. Go Tyranitar! Use Crunch attack!" It charged forward preparing to attack. It defeated them all with one strike.

"No way he could beat our super trained Pokemon!"

"I suggest you leave now before I really kick your *beep*es!"

"Actually…you lost."

"What?" Then a shot was heard. Everything went in slow motion and in black and white as he fell to the floor.

"Hiyami!" Satoshi flung open the door to his bedroom in which he was watching, and ran to his side. "Hiyami, Hiyami?! Oh God no…" Tyranitar knelt over him, howling in tears which belied its tough image, over the loss of its master and friend. Satoshi shed no tears yet, he stood up sword in hand ready it chop their heads off, but more pleasure comes from torture, than bloodshed. So Pikachu shocked them paralyzing them, took their clothes and tied them up.

"Pika pi pikachu chu pi?" (What are you going to them?) Satoshi got a wicked grin on his face, which made the two Rocketeers wet their underwear. Literally.

"Come out Charizard!" He came out with a showy display, as usual. Satoshi whispered something into his ear, which made him grin from horn to horn. He grabbed the two and flew off.

"Pikachu pika pi pikachu pika?" (Where's he going so happy?)

"Oh…to the closest gay and lesbian strip bar…"

"Pi pika pi pika pika!" (Oh, you're so cruel!)

"Let's see, we should be hearing them right about….now." There was a faintly heard scream in the distance. Satoshi stayed there an extra day to comfort the grieving Tyranitar, and to give Hiyami a proper burial. When they left, Tyranitar had turned into a cleaning freak, like his master wanted. He wore the apron, a feather duster, a broom, and a sponge.

"Who would of thunk it?"

"Pika pikachu." (Not me.)

"A Tyranitar turning into a housemaid." He and Pikachu waved goodbye to Tyranitar, as he waved back.
