Writer's Notes:

In this chapter, one week has passed since Ash's victory at Belgium. During this off time before the Italian Grand Prix, Ash decides to take his teammate, Allan McNish on a Pokémon expedition near the Toyota base to show Allan what he did all those years back in Kanto and Johto.

Oh. Before you start reading Chapter 23, I want to give a shout out to sew2001, the newest fan to the Ash Ketchum Experience who has been reading the past few chapters as of late. Now I know there are at least two readers out there who want to read the adventures of Ash and Pikachu in F1. Enjoy the ride, sew2001.;)

Ash Ketchum: Formula One Driver
Chapter 23: Allan McNish Catches A Pokémon?!!!

Wherever you are, Ash Ketchum... remember this one thing. I will always be better then you. I was better than you when the two of us grew up and I'm better than you at Pokémon training. If I was racing in that crappy F1 stuff, I would beat the pants off you real good.

A diary entry from Gary Oak, made after he became Pokémon Master.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt Attack!! Bayleef, Razor Leaf!! Feraligatr, Body Slam!! Charizard, Seismic Toss!!! Eevee, Swift!! Meowth, Agility!!!" The early morning sounds of peace at Toyota's Formula One HQ was shattered by Ash Ketchum shouting commands to his Pokémon. Every week before he and the team head to a Formula One race, Ash and his Pokémon battle each other to keep fit and to learn new moves and such. Ash at this time would usually be in his bed still sleeping in his small house near the shop, but not today. Ash leaped out of the way of a loose Razor Leaf from Bayleef as she fought against Pikachu, who was now on the receiving end of Bayleef's offense. Near them, Ash's newest Pokémon Eevee, was being educated in the school of Pokémon battles as Meowth's fast speed kept on missing Eevee's Swift attack. Ash turned his attention of Feraligatr and Charizard locked up, seeing who was the strongest of Ash's Pokémon. Charizard looked to have Feraligatr in trouble, but the giant Water Pokémon tripped up the giant Fire Pokémon and slammed it to the ground!! That counter nearly knocked Charizard out as Pikachu used Agility to confuse Bayleef and Eevee used Sand Attack to blind Meowth before using Tackle attack on him. Ash decided to let them stop and take a break. They were fighting each other fiercely for well over 20 minutes. "Okay, everybody... STOP!!!!" Ash yelled out and all 6 Pokémon stopped fighting and dropped to the ground.

"Ow. That smarts. You tried to kill me." Meowth said as he rubbed his sore head. Eevee gloated a bit that the small Pokémon beat Meowth. Pikachu was catching her breath as Bayleef fell to the ground, tired as well.

[I almost had you, Feraligatr. But you had to trip me up and make me fall to the ground.] Charizard said as he tried to get on his feet after being slammed to the ground,

[Aw, quit your whining, flame breath. I beat you fair and square.] Feraligatr shot back as Charizard sulked away to a tree near Ash's house for some shut eye,

[I'll kick your ass later.] Charizard said as he sat down on the ground and lied next to the tree and went to sleep. Ash decided to let Charizard get some sleep when the door to Allan McNish's home opened.

"Well, morning Ash. I didn't expect you to be up at this time." Allan McNish said as stood by the doorway of his small house,

"I was up since 5 A.M. with my Pokémon." Ash answered,

"I still think it's a waste of time training these pets of yours to beat each other up. When I was your age, I was still in school. Getting a good education." McNish said,

"Let's see you rough it out for almost 4 years. And nearly get killed in the process!!!" Ash shot back,

"Hmm... are you asking me to do a little Pokémon expedition?" McNish asked,

"Sort of. I'll show you why I wasted 4 years of my young life with these "things" as you call them. I heard reports that there are a lot of good Pokémon in the area. As well as some rare ones." Ash said,

"Deal. We'll leave tomorrow morning at 6:30 A.M." Allan said as he headed back to his house to get ready for the small trip.

"I got to tell Mr. Andersson about this." Ash said as he headed for the Toyota building. McNish just gave a small laugh as he went back inside his house. He better make sure he packed a lot of first aid kits for himself. He was going to be in for one rough day.

At the Ferrari base in Italy, Michael Schumacher was hard at work in his office. He was looking over some of the notes that Ross Brawn and Jean Todt wrote during the course of the Belgium Grand Prix, along with some of Rubens and Keith's comments about the cars. Keith's only concern was the lack of traction the Bridgestone tires have when going into the bus stop chicane. Besides that, the American said the car was the way he wanted it. The one thing that he was hard at work was figuring out why Keith's engine blew up. He had to make sure that it doesn't happen to Rubens or Keith again in the upcoming 3 races or Rubens will never bring the Driver's Title to Brazil. Michael placed some papers on the table and leaned back in his chair to take a break. He has been working since he returned with the team this morning after spending a few days with his wife and kids at his home. Moments later, his phone started to ring.

"Gott in himmel!! Can't I take a small break without any distractions?!!" Michael said to himself as he picked up the phone. "Hello?" He asked, somewhat growling in annoyance.

"Um... is this the team that has that cute doggie in the pits? The team that Daddy's friend drives for?" There was a little girl on the other line,

"Who is this and how did you get this number?!!" Michael asked sternly,

"My name is Celia. What's yours?" She answered all cute like,

"Celia? Aren't you Riley's kid that nearly killed Bernie? What do you want? I'm a busy man!!" Michael said harshly,

"I know Keith Terrell's birthday!!" Celia sang cheerfully, like any little kid does when he or she knows some good gossip. Michael remembered that Keith has always made sure that nobody know when his birthday was. Only Riley, Ronin and Francois know his birthdate.

"Where did you hear this?!!!" Michael asked in pure surprise,

"He told Daddy at a photo shoot in London this past Friday." Celia answered. Michael was grinning like the devil at that point. He had to find you when Keith's birthday was. So, he decided to use bribery.

"So, kiddo. How much will this set me back for this little tidbit on information?" Michael asked,

"$50 dollars. And it better not be in play money! Or I'll do with I did to that mean German and that old guy at the past race." Celia said, reminding Michael of her flip kicking Heidfeld and mouthing off Sir Jackie Stewart. If she only wanted $50, it was worth it to get Keith's birthdate.

"Okay. You got a deal. Tell me his birthdate now and I'll give you the money at the Italian Grand Prix. I promise." Michael said as he crossed his heart. Celia gave in and told Michael that Keith's birthday on the same day as the Italian Grand Prix, which was on the 18th of September. After promising her once again that she will get her money and hanging up, he started to make plans. He needed to know one thing and he picked up the phone to call Ferrari test driver Luciano Burti. Moments later, the Brazilian picked up the phone. "Luciano, where is our resident American?" Michael asked,

"Oh, hello Michael. Keith isn't here at the Ferrari base right now. He's in New York City." Luciano Burti answered,

"And why is that?" The German asked,

"In case you haven't seen the calendar, it's September 11th. Marking the day of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and Washington D.C. He felt it was right for him to be there, being a native New Yorker and Mr. di Montezemolo thought so too. Keith will be back around 4 P.M. tomorrow." Luciano answered,

"Oh, I forgot about that. Never mind then, Luciano. Go back to work on the F2006/07 then." Michael said as he hung up the phone. He sat back in his chair and thought up the mother of all pranks to pull on his new nemesis, one Keith Terrell. He realized that he needed a piece of information that Keith has placed in his room. He picked up the phone once again and called Rubens, who was busy with Jean Todt. "Oh, Rubens. Where is our team mascot?" He asked,

"Team mascot? Oh, yeah. Growlithe is on its way to your office with the findings from Keith's engine." Rubens said and right on cue, the puppy Pokémon entered Michael's office with the report in its mouth.

"Oh, there you are." Michael said as he took the papers and placed them on his desk. He then picked up the Pokémon off the ground and onto his lap. "I have something I need you to do for me. Can you do it?" Michael asked. For his plan to work, he needed Growlithe's help for this.

=======

The next day in Germany, Ash Ketchum and his Pokémon were wide-awake to go on the little journey he planned for his teammate. Toyota boss Ove Andersson thought the idea of Allan McNish on a small Pokémon journey of his own was crazy, but he welcomed the chance to have Allan see what Ash went through with his Pokémon journey first hand. Just as long as McNish didn't try to kill himself. When 6:30 A.M. came around, Allan McNish exited his home wearing his racing suit and carrying a backpack filled with first aid kits. He saw Ash dressed in his black shirt, blue sleeveless jacket, green fingerless gloves, worn blue jeans, high top sneakers and his usual official Pokémon League cap. Pikachu was perched on Ash's head and Eevee was in Ash's arms as Meowth walked up next to Ash.

"About time you got up. Well, my Pokémon and I are ready to see what Germany has planned for us." Ash said cheerfully. This fact scared McNish a bit. He's never seen Ash so enthusiastic about a small Pokémon journey near the shop. Maybe it's because Ash hasn't been on a Pokémon journey since he went with Michael to Formula One in 2001.

"Uh... let's go." McNish said mutely as Ash led the way from their houses and the Toyota HQ and into the forest area. This was the first time Ash has taken a journey in the forests of Germany, so he's a bit excited to get out and explore Germany somewhat. McNish didn't like it so far because he was too busy swatting mosquitoes that were trying to suck him dry. After a short trip through the forest, the two spotted a wild Nidoran male.

"A male Nidoran!! This will be perfect chance for Eevee to get some experience!!" Ash said as Eevee jumped to the ground, ready for a fight. The small Nidoran charged Eevee, but the tiny Pokémon dodged the attack and used Swift attack to do some damage. McNish was backing away from the fight slowly, but then he felt something crawl onto his shoulder. His face went white as he turned his head slowly and saw a Caterpie looking right at him. As soon as Eevee knocked out the Nidoran, Allan McNish screamed at the top of his lungs and ran in circles trying to get the Bug Pokémon off of him.

"Get it off me! Get it off me!!!" He yelled out as the Caterpie still rode his shoulder. Moments later, the Caterpie was knocked to the ground by Meowth, who was ready for a fight. Caterpie used string shot and slowed Meowth down. But the former Team Rocket member used Quick Attack to deliver a critical hit on the small bug Pokémon. Ash took out a brand new Poké Ball and chucked it at the now weakened Caterpie. The small bug became a flash of light as it disappeared into the Poké Ball. The ball moved around for a few seconds before the lock took hold. Ash has captured a new Caterpie.

"All right. I've wanted a new Caterpie for a long time." Ash said as he picked up the Poké Ball and using his PokéDex, transferred the newly caught Pokémon back to Professor Oak's lab in Pallet. Lucky for him, the Professor didn't have the heart to cancel Ash's trainer license in fear of F1 retaliation. Prof. Oak has a lot of power in the Pokémon World, but he's nothing when comparing his power next to Bernie Ecclestone's power over F1.

"Is it gone?" McNish asked as he looked around and didn't see the Bug Pokémon,

"You wussy." Ash said bluntly as Pikachu sniffed the air for a minute. She's picked up a scent of a powerful Pokemon heading right for the group. "Hey, Pikachu. What's up?" Ash asked, noticing Pikachu sniffing around. His question would be answered real soon. A wild Ursaring, which was in a real bad mood, found the group.

"Holy crap!!! An Ursaring!!! I never wanted to see one again!!" Meowth said, remembering the time that he got separated from Jessie and James in a forest in Johto. McNish was now in fear of his life and just took off running and screaming. He can handle the fact that he could die in a Formula One car, but he wouldn't make a good Pokemon trainer whatsoever if he keeps running for his life. Ash decided to run for the hills also. But, the Ursaring needed to be distracted.

"Pikachu, Flash!!!" Ash yelled out and Pikachu started to light up. Moments later, the Ursaring was blinded by the light, allowing Ash and his Pokemon to get the hell out of there. Most of the time, Ash would take the Pokemon down, but he had to go find his yellow teammate. As he and his Pokémon trio started to run after Allan McNish, Ash made one small misstep at the edge of a small chasm. He didn't see it until it was too late. Ash slipped for a split second and started to fall into the chasm. He had no chance to get Bayleef out of her Poké Ball and help him. He landed face first onto the cold, hard ground and was knocked out. Pikachu skidded to a stop and just seen Ash fall into the chasm.

[Ash!!!] Pikachu cried out as Meowth and Eevee stopped to see why Pikachu stopped running,

"Hey, Pikachu. Where's the twerp?" Meowth asked,

[Ash fell into this chasm!! We've got to help him!!] Pikachu answered. Before Meowth opened his mouth to ask the mouse Pokémon how to do that, the Ursaring which was blinded by Pikachu, came back and let loose Hyper Beam on the three Pokémon. The explosion blasted the three Pokémon into the chasm and they all landed hard on the ground next to Ash. The Ursaring just looked at the chaos its made and decided to find that other guy that was with Ash.

=======

Allan McNish was near the area of the chasm when he heard the Hyper Beam explosion. Curiosity got the better of him and he went back to the area. The Ursaring has left and was on route to the grasslands via a forest path. He saw the crater that the Hyper Bema explosion made and looked into the chasm. There, he saw Ash and his Pokémon just laying there lifeless on the ground. He carefully made his way down to the bottom of the chasm to where Ash, Pikachu, Eevee and Meowth have fallen. He checked to see if they were still alive.

"Oh, thank god. They're still alive." The Scotsman said. Now he was wondering how to get help all the way in the middle of nowhere. Allan isn't a German native like Michael, Ralf and Heidfeld. Plus, that Ursaring was still out there for the two of them. But, McNish had to get help for his young teammate/friend and fast. He reached into Ash's pockets and took out 6 unused Poké Balls and Ash's PokéDex. "Well, I'm going to kill myself for doing this. I wonder how Keith managed to learn this Pokémon stuff with giant water spewing dog of his?" Allan asked himself as he placed the Poké Balls in his pocket. He looked around to see if he could get out, then he saw some light at one end of a small tunnel. Allan took one deep breath before entering the tunnel to follow the light. It was a bit of a tight fit for the Scotsman, but the tunnel led to a different part of the forest. It was still dense, but McNish saw a clearing that looks like a grassy landscape. He walked through the forest, praying to god that the Ursaring doesn't make him into beef jerky. 5 minutes later, the forest gave way to very scenic hill scape, complete with a lake, beautiful flowers and the occasional tree.

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Germany can be magnificent sometimes. If you know where to look. Hmm... I wonder if Ash's Pokémon thing has a map and compass? Allan thought to himself as he took out Dexter and started up Ash's PokéDex. On the screen was a map of where the Toyota base was, and then the PokéDex shifted the map to Allan's current position. Just his luck, there was a town nearby. A 2-mile walk at least, no problem for McNish. Allan fiddled around with the PokéDex, trying to find the chasm that Ash was in. Unfortunately, the PokéDex didn't show him the chasm where Ash was, meaning Allan would have to use his memory to find his way back with help. As Allan started the walk to the indicated town, he heard something near the lake just surfacing and landing on the ground.

"Huh? What's that?!!" McNish asked himself as he walked slowly to the lake. He was taking a big risk checking the noise, because he doesn't have any Pokémon whatsoever. As soon as he was at the lake, a Pokémon appeared in the middle of the lake. Allan has just met a Dratini, a rare Dragon Pokémon. "What is that thing?" Allan asked as he pointed Dexter at the Pokémon.

"Dratini, the Dragon Pokémon. This Pokémon is so full of life energy that it constantly sheds its skin and keeps growing, despite being born large. Many reports say that Dratini can be found in lakes in the country of Germany." The PokéDex said as McNish and the Dratini were locked in a stare down.

"A Dragon? I thought those things only exist in those Dark Age stories. Why is it looking at me like that? He thinks that I'm a Pokémon treat." McNish said. The Dratini all of a sudden became frightened and dove under the water. Allan wondered what happened until he heard a small growl from behind. McNish went white as a ghost and turned around slowly to see the Ursaring that has been chasing after Ash and Allan all throughout this trip. "I'M GONNA DIE!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!" McNish yelled out at the top of his lungs and ran for his life heading for the town, after tricking the giant Pokémon that he was running for the forest. It wasn't long before the Ursaring gave chase to the Scotsman and started to close in on its prey. McNish didn't even bother to look behind him. If he did, he would have saw the Ursaring get wrapped up by the Dratini. He took off running like Forrest Gump for the small city to get help. At least he thought so. He just ran like the wind and ended up going in a full circle and was running towards the Pokémon battle. All of a sudden, he arrived at the lake and realized that he went in a circle. "I'm back here again!!" McNish yelled out as Dratini knocked out that mean ass Ursaring with Twister. After the Dratini calmed down, it set its sights on McNish once again.

=======

Back at the chasm, Ash, Meowth, Eevee and Pikachu were coming to. Ash had a sharp pain in the back of his head. He ran his fingers back there and just found a small lump. He felt something trickle down his face and found out it was blood.

"Looks like I got the worst of it." Ash said to himself as he reached into his backpack to fish out his first aid kit. The cut turned out to be a small one, so Ash just placed some antibiotic cream on a bandage and placed it on the cut. He got up and moved around a bit. He wasn't hurting anywhere, so that was a good sign. Meowth and Pikachu got back to their feet and moved around like they were dizzy. The three Pokémon landed on top of Ash when they fell into the chasm. Moments later, the Pokémon were now all right.

"Wow. What a hole." Meowth said as he and Eevee looked to see how far up they all fell. Pikachu looked around to see where Allan was. Unknown to them, he went off in search of help.

[Hey, Ash. What happened back there?] Pikachu asked, still a bit groggy from the hit she took from the Ursaring.

"I think he went to get help. I can't find my PokéDex and I'm missing a few Poké Balls." Ash said as he looked into his pockets and discovered that those items were missing,

"We better hurry and find him. I bet that Ursaring is going to make him a Scottish beef jerky." Meowth said,

"Pikachu, see if you can sniff out McNish. I bet he didn't go very far." Ash said,

[Leave it to me, Ash. I'll find him.] Pikachu said as she sniffed the air to find McNish's scent. They made their way out of the small tunnel that Allan exited earlier. Back at the lake, the Dratini was in a staring contest with Allan, who was paralyzed with fear on the spot. He wasn't sure if the Dratini wanted to eat him or whatever. He reached into his pocket and took out one of Ash's spare Poké Balls.

"Let's hope this thing works like it's supposed to!!!" Allan yelled out as he threw the Poké Ball at the Dratini, closed his eyes shut and prayed. It hit the Dragon Pokémon and Dratini glowed red before disappearing into the Poké Ball. McNish opened his eyes as the ball moved around, a sign that the Pokémon was trying to break out of it. Then, the lock sealed and the ball stopped moving. Allan McNish has caught a Pokémon?!!! It's true. The reason was because the Dratini was weakened by the fight with the Ursaring. McNish slowly walked up to the Poké Ball and poked it with his finger. It didn't move, so he poked it harder. It still didn't move.

I caught a Pokemon? I caught a Pokemon!!! I CAUGHT ONE ALL BY MYSELF!!! McNish thought to himself as he picked up the ball and did a little victory dance. All of a sudden, a wild Sandshrew appeared. McNish saw it and tossed another Poké Ball at it. This Sandshrew was another of Ursaring's victims, so it was real easy for Allan to capture.

"I am the best!! Take that, Ash!! I just caught two Pokemon all by myself!!! They are practically wanting to be caught by me!!" McNish said cheerfully, not even knowing that the two Pokemon he aught were weakened. Minutes later, a tired out Oddish appeared. It was yet another victim of the Ursaring. McNish took out a 3rd Poké Ball and captured that Pokemon without any trouble. The Scotsman was having a field day with this Pokemon catching stuff. To him, it's easy as driving a car. Just wait until he finds out how hard it is to train these buggers. Allan thought he had enough Pokemon to help get Ash out of that chasm, he headed back there. During the journey, he actually caught a Pinsir in an area with tall grass, a Flaaffy near one of the more scenic spots and an Octillery by a big river. All of these Pokemon were weakened by that damn Ursaring. Allan McNish thought he was on top of the world, until the Ursaring rained on his parade by showing up once again. This time, the Scotsman was not getting away. Before McNish screamed like a little girl, somebody else had other plans.

"Pikachu, Thunder!!!" Ash yelled out. Allan turned to see a beat up Ash, Meowth, Eevee and one powered up Pikachu take out the Ursaring with a powerful bolt of thunder. Ash reached into his backpack to fetch out a never used Heavy Ball and tossed it to the now weak Ursaring. The ball hit the Pokemon and it disappeared into the Heavy Ball. After a few tense moments, the Heavy Ball locked. Ash has captured that pesky Ursaring.

"That's what you get for making us fall into a chasm, buddy." Meowth said as Ash picked up the Heavy Ball,

"McNish, I want my PokéDex." Ash ordered and Allan gave him the PokéDex. It was still in perfect share and Ash used it to transfer back Ursaring to Prof. Oak's lab. He sent an e-mail to the Professor, warning him about this Pokemon. Both Eevee and Piakchu are wondering what is McNish so happy about.

[What's up with him? Looks like he caught Mew.] Eevee said,

[Who knows? Ash said he was missing a few Poké Balls. So, I think Allan must have caught a few Pokemon.] Pikachu answered,

[That's impossible. He needs a Pokémon to battle another before he could capture it.] Eevee said,

[I don't have all the answers, Eevee. I bet that Ursaring has something to do with it. Ash will drill the answers out of him when we get back home.] Pikachu said. A minute later, Ash got an e-mail from Tracey saying that he got the warning and will be careful when working with the Ursaring. The message ended with Tracey adding, "You no-good F1 driver. Everybody wants to be like you now!!" Ash just chuckled a bit at that sentence.

"Well, I think we should get back to the HQ. I told Mr. Andersson that we would be back before sunset." Ash said as he picked up Eevee and Pikachu hopped onto Ash's head. McNish and Meowth followed Ash closely behind as the group made the long trek back to the Toyota HQ.

=======

Growlithe snuck into Keith's house near the Ferrari HQ. Michael told the team mascot to look for a picture of a very beautiful woman that has some of her writing on the back of one of the pics. The puppy Pokémon had a hard time trying to find Keith's room, but found it upstairs. Keith's room was real messy most of the time, but he cleaned up after leaving for the U.S. Growlithe found some of Lorelei's pictures on his shelf where he keeps his podium finish trophies. None of them didn't have her number on the back of any of the pics until Growlithe looked at his nightstand and found the card that had Lorelei's phone number on it. Grabbing the card in its mouth, Growlithe bolted out of Keith's house and back to Michael's office. He was busy looking over the reports of the engine department when he saw Growlithe skid to a stop and handed Michael the card.

"Good doggie!! Now, my plans will come to fruition!!!" Michael said, sounding like an evil villain as he petted Growlithe for a few minutes. He stopped and copied down the number into his personal daily planner. "Now, run along and place this card at the exact place you've found it. Okay, little guy? I have some things I need to take care of." Michael said as Growlithe licked his face once, took the card into its mouth and happily trotted away back to Keith's house. Michael wiped the drool off his face and set aside the engine report as he reached for the phone.

=======

Back at the Toyota base, Allan McNish was showing off his new Pokémon, while making Ash really jealous of him and pissed off. He told the crew that he and the Dratini were fighting like madmen when McNish captured it, but he nearly pissed in his pants in fear and just tossed the ball at it. The Dratini was already weakened after the fight with the Ursaring.

"And then, I leapt that this Pokémon and nailed it in the head with the Poké Ball!! He didn't have a chance!! Then, these other Pokémon came out and I caught them was well!!" McNish said as he told his story, which was full of lies. The team was enjoying this tall tale. The rest of his Pokémon were caught with ease because of the Ursaring. Ash decided to get out of there before he killed him.

[I can't believe that Allan caught that Dratini. It was already weakened by the Ursaring. He's a lucky bastard.] Pikachu said as she, Meowth and Eevee followed Ash back to his place,

[All he did was just toss the Poké Ball at the Pokemon. They didn't have a chance to fight back. The Ursaring did all the work for him. Now he's gloating about that.] Eevee said, adding her two cents into the discussion.

"On the other hand, now Ash knows where to get some good Pokemon and we've taken care of that Ursaring." Meowth said and the two other Pokemon nodded in agreement. Moments later, they arrived at Ash's home.

"I have to tell Brock about this!! He's not going to believe this!!" Ash said as he entered his house to phone Brock. Ash knew that Brock wouldn't believe it and when he told his best friend the story, he didn't believe it either. Allan McNish was real lucky to find a Dratini. Allan McNish is one lucky son of a bitch.

To Be Continued...

Allan McNish has caught a bunch of Pokémon?!! Well, it's true now. Looks like Ash has another aspiring Pokémon trainer to deal with. Keith and Suicune are a tough duo and how will McNish and Dratini bond? Will they be just as fierce as Ash and Pikachu? Only time will tell.

In the next chapter, the Formula One circus travels to the legendary Monza circuit for the Grand Prix of Italy. Monza is the spiritual home of Ferrari and motor racing is almost like a religion to the Tifosi. Can Keith Terrell make it 2 wins in a row for Ferrari? Can Ash get win #3? Can Juan Pablo Montoya strike back against Rubens in the Driver's Championship? These questions and many others will be answered in the next 3-4 chapters of Ash Ketchum: Formula One Driver.

Oh, by the way. If any of you readers have been wondering about how in the hell did Keith Terrell catch the Legendary Dog, Suicune? I'm writing a fic about that. It will explain the question on how did Keith caught Suicune. It should be done sometime when I finish with Chapter 24 or sooner.
