Nintendo and those people do. ~ ~ ~ Two young men were walking down the dark street in silence. They both wore trench coats and the only difference was the fact that the taller one had a pickachu on his shoulder. "Ash", Gary Oak asked just above a whisper,"where are we going." "To pallet town", Ash Ketchum said while looking at his feet. "You sure that's wise, we haven't been there for 4 years. Ever since we both "disappeared."Gary said with a hint of sadness in his voice. "Yes I know but we must go there to warn the people that team rocket is going to attack there." It was true and Gary knew it. They were going from town to town ruining all of Team Rockets plans and ideas. Team Rocket was getting fed up and was going to destroy Pallet town so that the boys would come out of hiding. The organization knew that it was the boys home town and would do anything to hurt them. "Gary", Ash broke him out of his trance, "its getting close to dawn we better find a place to spend the day." They both looked at each other and nodded. Right after they started to run to find a better shelter than the other person. Even though they were good friends that did not mean that there rivalry was completely forgotten. "Ash I found it" Gary said excitedly , "it's a small cave." "Okay u win,"there was a pause as Ash looked over the cave, "this time and only this time." Gary rolled his eyes. "That's what you say every time, but I always beat you." "You do not." "Yes I do admit it," Gary said in a superior voice. "No u don't u son of a-"Ash was cut off to voices. They all knew what to do. They fell to the ground and Ash took out a dart while Gary took out a gun. During that time pikachu climbed a tree. They all sat still and tense. ~ ~ ~ "Hey Joey look at this," Mike said excitedly," it's a pokemon track." "And how would u know that you say everything is a pokemon track," Joey held up a leaf and said in a teasing voice,"o look at this it's a pokemon track. As if u would even know." Mike looked hurt. "O come on you now I don't really mean it now lets go follow them."Joey said sweetly. Mike and Joey were brothers. Joey was the oldest of 6 and every time one of his brothers or sisters got there first pokemon he would take them to the closest town and give them tips. He loved all of his brothers and sisters very much and now matter how much he teased them they all knew it. He was 19 and a very good pokemon trainer. He had self-confidence in everything he did and usually expelled in everything he did. Mike on the other hand didn't have any self-confidence and was hurt easily when teased. He was excited though because he just got his first pokemon. It was a charmander and they both had an instant bond. Charmander could see that mike was a good person and even though not very strong tried his hardest to be good, and could be trusted. Mike could see charmander was loyal and brave. They both new that they would be best friends for life. Joey was looking at Mike with wonder as to what adventures his little brother would go on when he heard a noise. He stopped to hear better and Mike knocked in to him. "Hey what's the big deal." Mike complained loudly. "Shhhhh" Joey said in a stern voice. Mike was quite and was wondering what could make his brother so stern so fast. Then he heard it. It was whispering, and the people whispering sounded really urgent. "Hey Joey should we go check it out?"Mike asked. Joey nodded yes. As they turned the corner Mike managed to scream before dropping down unconscious. Just like his brother. ~ ~ ~ Ash and Gary had long sense calmed down because they knew what was making the noise. It was just two stupid rockets, but they had to wait for the best time before striking. They usually wait till the enemy is almost done and getting ready to go back to head quarters before doing anything. Never once though have they failed to bring the enemy to jail. They were just finishing the third round of rock, paper, scissors when they heard a scream then a thump. They looked at each other then a pikachu and then ran to check it out. As they turned around a big tree in there were the two rockets as planned, but there were also two boys. Not as planned. "What have you done to these boys,"Ash yelled loudly. "O nothing that you would care about Ashton ketchum,"the man sneered. Ash wasn't surprised they knew his name. To Team Rocket him and Gary were the two most wanted people in the world. Giovanni both wanted them dead and shown to him before trying to send them to hell for eternity. What he didn't know was that wasn't going to happen soon. Ash could here Gary yell, "well bring it on," and he knew they were ready. "Hey Gary instead of fighting lets help these boys instead,"Ash said while gesturing at the boys with his arm."Pikachu can take care of them right buddy,"pikachu nodded and got ready for his worst. "Don't kill them just knock them deep unconscious, so use lighting string and aim at the neck." When Ash was satisfied he turned to Gary and asked if the boys were hurt bad and he said that the bigger one might have to go to the hospital for his leg , but the little boy was just was in a deep faint. ~ ~ ~ After calling the police and ambulance on Gary's cell phone the two men headed back on there way towards Pallet town. They didn't want to be around when the police were most likely ask questions. Then there identity would be blown, and so much for saving Pallet town under secret identity. Pikachu was resting peacefully in Ashes arms while Ash and Gary talked. "Ash, now Giovanni knows where we are, because his two idiots aren't going to return". "Yes I know now our mission became tons more important, we have to hurry." With that Ash took out a pokeball and called out altaria. "Altaria can u fly me and pikachu to pallet town."Ash asked. She nodded. With that they took off, and Ash turned around seeing Gary take out a pokeball. "Pokeball go, teleport me to pallet town."gary said looking at his gardevior. He was gone in a flash. ~ ~ ~ Seth was playing with his pet vulpix when suddenly a guy fell right in front of him. The man stood up looked at Seth with apology in his eyes. Then he looked at the skies and said,"I beat u Red.""Im sorry Gold but it sound like you thought you beat me, and that doesn't sound right." Seth and Gary turned around and the first man said, "how the heck did you beat me Red I used teleport." Then the second man said, "as usual you under estimate my pokemon my altaria could and alway will beat your gardevior." Seth decided to say butt in. He was getting creeped out looking at two men in trench coat fighting. "Umm excuse me but who are u guys?" he asked. They both looked at him and looked flustered. "O im sorry but I am Red Satoshi and this is my friend Gold Shirguru."the taller one said. Gold looked at him and nodded while asking, "do u know anyone named Delia Ketchum or Prof. Oak?" Seth nodded and said, "my stepmom is Delia Ketchum and Prof. Oak." "What do you know about your moms past." "O lots,"Seth said excitedly. "Tell us." "Okay, her old kid was the Ash ketchum. The best person in the whole wide world. I wish I coulda met him but he died 4 years ago. My mom never talks about him though, but once I saw her crying over his picture. She is really sad that he is gone. She married my dad 2 years ago when I was 6. She is really nice and she is a great mom." seth pause to take a breath then continued, "this women also comes by sometimes and talks to my mom about Ash. She cries a lot and I don't know but I think they loved each other." Ash and Gary both knew who it was before Seth even said it."Her name is misty, and she is my babysitter sometimes, too. She tells me lots of stories about Ash and her friend Brock when they were kids. They make me laugh a lot. That's about it." Ash was confused. This is his younger brother. Step brother. He never knew his mom got married and that misty was his little brothers babysitter. Just thinking about it made his head spin."hey Ga-I mean Gold im going to take pikachu to the pokemon center. He is pretty whiped out." "Ya sure Red I will meet up with you later." Gary said absent mindedly. ~ ~ ~ Misty and Brock were both just entering Pallet town. "Hey Misty lets stop by that pokemon center up there to heal our pokemon and get a coffee." "Ya fine with me we just gotta get over to mrs. ketchums house by 7. As they entered the pokemon center to people were just leaving. They heard some of the conversation. "As soon as I see my mom lets go to sleep we were a wake almost all day and night."the taller one said. "Yes I must agree with you this one time."the other man said tiredly. Misty and Brock shrugged it off and walked inside. "Who do u think those people were?"Misty asked Brock."I've never seen them before." "I don't know but we should be careful, they didn't look safe." Brock said worriedly. ~ ~ ~ "They were Misty and Brock,"Ash told Gary."Ya I know, this is bad. Now Team Rocket will go after them, too." Gary said worriedly."we should get to your house now." ~ ~ ~ okay so this is my first fanfic so be nice. Please review! If its good than yippie, but if its flames please tell me why so I can fix it.
