The Outsiders

Just remember it isn't real or is it now that's what you tell little kids when 
the Boogey man scares nightmares of monsters and demons into their heads, 
just tell them its not real just like fairy tales boogey men cartoon characters. 
But how do we know such things like those are just made up what if some 
where some time some other world or place in time & space they were real, 
every worst fear every darkest fright every brightest dream and every being. 
Was real from cartoons to even say Pokemon for example the world loves 
them watching playing with them dreaming to be a great Pokemon trainer a. 
guy can dream can't he? Well for once those very dreams will come true. 
Far off in another world galaxy dimension or zone whatever you may call it 
in a world just as close to the one Ash lives in except of course no Pokemon, 
lives a boy the age of 15 a tall kid who lives in this world dreaming dreams. 
His blue diamond eyes shine from his brown hair bright and clean his face 
normal and always able to smile and laugh wearing thick dark blue jeans, 
from his red and white crisscrossed laced shoes topping off his gray T-shirt. 
His name Rob Richards every day of his life he has lived in a dream world 
wanting to be with the monsters villains heroes and every other character he, 
has watched lived and loved to learn from most people thought bad of him. 
Thinking how bizarre he is for being a teenager to love a child's shows or 
dreams little did he know his love for the imaginary world would come true, 
closer then he thought watch now as we return to our fabled Pokemon trio. 
Ash Misty Tracey Pikachu and Togepi walking happily down the grassy 
road recovering well from their final deadly encounter with Mewthree, 
finally ridding his ghost of Ash's body life slowly but surely returns normal. 
"Man life has never been sweeter then this a Pokemon master healthy happy 
& with my best friends" Ash smiled happily hugging Pikachu who laughed, 
back "Pika pi Pikachu-You said it Ash" they walked down the trail again. 
Misty nudged Ash "Well finally when I call you Mr. Pokemon master it's 
the truth right Ashy boy" "ACK don't call me that it annoys me like crazy", 
she giggled "I know that's why I said it" Ash snarled trying to fight back. 
But Tracey put hands between them breaking it up "Come on guys we got 
some peace and quiet let's just try and enjoy it" "Togi Togepi" he agreed, 
smelling the fresh air and adjusting his Pokemon cap Ash smiled brightly. 
"Tracey's right we got to enjoy life ever last second of it and I plan on doing 
my favorite things of all first" the young Pokemon watcher scratched his, 
long black hair "What's that Ash?" "First kiss my beautiful water flower". 
Ash leaned over and planted a gentle kiss on Misty's cheek she blushed and 
kissed him back asking softly "And what's the other thing my big Pokemon, 
hero?" "A Pokemon battle let's have one" she groaned & face faulted down. 
Uttering angrily as Ash ran across the land searching for a Pokemon trainer 
to battle "I should have known he can't get battling out of his head just long, 
enough to be a romantic" Pikachu smiled to Misty "Pikachu-that's my Ash". 
Footsteps were heard turning his hazel eyes Ash looked and sported a 
devilish grin on his face & pointed forward at the trees "Hey you over there, 
in the trees come here" "Huh" the voiced said slowly coming into the light.

Wavering his long shark blue hair he brushed it away to show his piercing 
green eyes and strong chin grinning from his sleek and shiny tan colored, 
Italian looking suit a red collar like scarf draped over his barely visible neck. 
Dark black shoes clicked from his even lighter tanned pants and leather 
brown belt strapped with Pokeballs "The name's Slick, Slick McGriffer, 
expert in Pokemon battling" Ash smiled clenching his hands "All right. Just 
what I was looking for I challenge you to a Pokemon battle Sleek" growling, 
the fancy man kicked dirt to him growling "The name is Slick your on boy". 
Watching from the sidelines Tracey and Misty smiled sitting down on some 
rocks "Being a Pokemon master Ash should since this battle right Tracey?", 
he shook his head and whipped out his book to make some quick sketches. 
"Being a master makes little difference the Pokemon do and the right attack 
experience everything is important when battling never over look anything", 
in her head Misty now was worried for Ash is a master but he's still human. 
"We'll have a 3 on 3 match agreed?" Ash nodded Slick grinned his pearly 
whites and tossed out a Pokeball out popping revealing a mighty Tauros the, 
raging bull beast scuffed its diamond hooves onto the ground Ash grinned. 
Sporting a grin just as dirty and filled with trickery Slick removed a gold 
rimmed Pokeball from his leather brown belt hurled it into the air opening, 
and releasing a powerful muscle charged Electrabuzz growling "Electragrr". 
Tracey rose his hand acting as the temporary Pokemon referee while Misty 
and her sweet Togepi happily cheered Ash on sitting down by some benches, 
"It's a 3 on 3 battle no time limit Ash with Tauros and Slick Electrabuzz". 
Eagerly hearing Tracey shout they jumped into the match excitement 
building "WE both know I'm the better train kid and to prove it as well how, 
pathetic you really are go ahead attack first" Ash nodded pointing & calling. 
"You heard him Tauros use fire blast" "HUH?" gasping that Tauros is 
capable of such an attack Slick watched as the bull beast roared his jaws, 
glowing a massive red fireball quickly growing exploding into a fire blast. 
Electrabuzz whimpered and scampered about in pain his thunder fur blazing 
in flames Slick snarled to his opponent smirking softly "This isn't over yet, 
Electrabuzz thunder bolt now" "Tauros hurry take down before he attacks". 
Brushing the flames off Electrabuzz charged electricity from his antenna 
surging with power feeling the cracking earth rumble from Tauros stomping, 
full speed ahead at him Electrabuzz blasted the voltage at his silver horns. 
Yet the horns somehow absorbed the charge boosting Tauros and bashing 
his thundering horns full blow into the tiger Pokemon's gut fainting him, 
"Electrabuzz is out Tauros and Ash win the first match" "IMPOSSIBLE". 
Blood boiling in a fiery rage of Slick's not to calm face he recalled 
Electrabuzz immediately tossing out his next Pokemon "Venemoth now, I 
underestimated you punk but class beats out crass every time you cheater". 
Ash growled shouting to the man "I would never cheat in a Pokemon battle" 
"Then how come Tauros didn't faint after Electrabuzz blasted him directly, 
his power is incredible" Ash stared at him firmly not answering him back. 

Tracey smiled finishing the sketches over the last Pokemon battle Misty 
looked at them then blinked her deep blue eyes smiling "Wow I get it now", 
"Get what Misty?" "Slick wanted to know why Electrabuzz lost to Tauros. 
And thanks to your great drawings it shows Ash using Tauros horns as 
lighting rods to suck up the energy and take out Electrabuzz" he nodded, 
watching Ash call Tauros for a sand attack against Venemoth Slick smiled. 
"Not this time Venemoth whirlwind" the dark bug Pokemon flapped his 
scaly white wings the sand flew back to Tauros covering his eyes quickly, 
Ash shouted "Don't let that fool you Tauros use earthquake shake him up". 
At first Misty thought Ash was making a mistake since Venemoth was in the 
air but her doubt turned to a sweet smile and cheer Tauros earthquake move, 
shattered rocks from the ground to stop Venemoth cold "Now head butt go". 
"Venemoth psychic blast" charging his massive might but all for loss Tauros 
was blasted in the face by the psychic ray confusing the bull Pokemon bad, 
running past Venemoth & crashing unconscious into a tree Ash sighed a bit. 
Yet sported a smile calling back Tauros in his Pokeball "You did a great job 
Tauros have a nice rest now Pokeball go" with a flick of his wrist the ball, 
flew releasing a GIGANTIC Pokemon green fur pointy ears bear like paws. 
The biggest piece yet the entire bulging belly and his cat like face "Snorlax" 
"A Snorlax? Ash you got a Snorlax and you never told me?" "Sorry Misty I, 
caught some new Pokemon while I was in the Orange islands a while back. 
But I didn't tell you because" he sweat dropped fearing his own thoughts as 
Snorlax laid there totally asleep rubbing his belly "He's not 100% loyal yet", 
Venemoth stood there hovering staring at his sleeping opponent confused.  
"I didn't want to tell you because I felt I'd disappoint you I'm a Pokemon 
master but I can't even train a Snorlax or get it to wake up" he dreadfully, 
hanged his head black hair ruffled Misty smiled a sweet smile to his face. 
Standing from the bench walking to him and kissing his cheek gently Ash 
looked up to her blushing softly "Ash you never have disappointed me and, 
you never will even masters have to learn things" slowly Ash looked up. To 
see that beautiful face that gentle & fairy like angel face of his one true love, 
he smiled and wiped his hazel eyes nodding "Your right I'll train him right. 
One of these days" yet the love scene quickly ended as a rock was pelted at 
Ash's head he winced in pain rubbing it and looked to see a snickering Slick, 
"Forgive me the sappy sucking love story was more then I could bare look. 
Either wake up that no good dumb slobbering bozo you call a Pokemon and 
fight or go with your ditzy airhead excuse for a girlfriend" Misty gasped out, 
covering her mouth and cringing at the insult Ash took it extremely badly. 
Squinting his now burning hazel eyes at that hateful man he said coldly "My 
Pokemon asleep or not is no bozo and no one & I mean no one EVER talks, 
bad about Misty Snorlax WAKE UP" "PIKACHU" together they screamed. 
Pikachu blasting Snorlax with tons of high voltage energy in moments the 
bear monster leaped off his bulging belly standing up straight and furious, 
"Snorlax" "Maybe all that teasing got that fatso's attention Venemoth go". 

Charging another ray Venemoth blasted a psychic blast exploding directly 
on Snorlax Ash staring cold eyed at Slick full of victory or so he believes, 
slowly the smoke cleared the laughing slowly ceased & the growling began. 
Snorlax stood there a black mark burnt into his white belly sizzled for a few 
seconds & nothing more he withstood the attack with no damage Slick was, 
speechless Venemoth tackled the giant gut only to be flung back out by it. 
"Snorlax mega kick" Ash commanded the bulky bear roared to life from his 
ton sized foot bashing a solid hit into Venemoth crashing him to the ground, 
sucking dirt threw cracked tendrils "Now body slam" "Poison sting him go". 
Just as Snorlax collapsed his sumo body onto the helpless Pokemon 
Venemoth blasted a barrage of poison stingers from his jaws rapidly pelting, 
toxic chemicals poisoning Snorlax just as he collapsed koing both Pokemon. 
Both Slick and Ash recalled their Pokemon and pulled out their final choices 
"Pikachu let's go we'll beat anything he can throw at us" "Pika-right" 
Pikachu nodded stepping onto the grassy battlefield watching Slick snicker, 
"I knew you'd slip up eventually my time has come & so has MACARGO". 
Releasing the Great ball out came a massive slug like monster dripping 
oozing with boiling lava sizzling into the grass and rock atop its very long, 
and fiery bubbling neck 2 white eyeballs blinked with blazing eye brows. 
Head to toe a Pokemon made of solid lava and flames sporting a hard molten 
lava rock shell Ash immediately consulted his Pokedex at sight of this beast, 
"Macargo a Johto lava snail Pokemon only found in the continent of Johto. 
This evolved fire Pokemon is made of living lava once using Molten spray 
attack the temperatures of its fire powers beat Magmar by 2000 degrees", 
"Gulp well Pikachu we didn't do too well against Magmar last time but still. 
Even then we didn't give up and we still won't now Pikachu thunder shock" 
Slick laughed watching Pikachu fire its thunder attack awaiting his chance, 
"Macargo flame-thrower" the sizzling snail spewed an onslaught of flames. 
Sizzling out Pikachu's attack and striking him down he tumbled wincing in 
pain "No way he beat Pikachu's attack" "I've never seen a Pokemon like, 
this before OW" Tracey rubbed his head looking to Misty "Either draw him. 
Or else show a little bit more concern for Pikachu" "Macargo fire works" 
Macargo boiled his bubbling back blazing mini fire balls into the air raining, 
down fire explosions Pikachu luckily avoided them with his quick attacks. 
"Nice defense now for some offense Pikachu agility" "Pika pi Chu-You got 
it" Slick smirked and pointed to Pikachu "Sludge that sucker down" "All, 
right Pikachu now thunder bolt it back" the attacks were issued and fired. 
The flaming fireball of sludge and flames were blasted back crashing 
Macargo backwards from Pikachu's countering thunder bolt "Not bad kid, 
but not bad won't cut it in the big leagues" "I'm in the master leagues Slick. 
Doubt you'll ever make it" Slick snarled and turned more red then his 
Pokemon steaming with rage "That's it Macargo Molten spray" Ash gasped, 
Misty screamed for Pikachu to jump Macargo barfed out gallons of hot lava. 
Pikachu dodged zipped zoomed and scurrying his burning legs about yet no 
matter how fast he ran the stretching lava spray grew closer and closer still, 
singing his tail and back he finally ducked down letting the flames burn him. 

"Pikachu NO" "OH YES" soon a wall of fire surrounded Pikachu only 
Macargo was seen chuckling a goofy like laugh spurting lava as he laughed, 
"Pikachu can you hear me please uh PIKACHU show me a sign please no. 
This isn't the end it can't be" Misty looked to Ash seeing tears slowly form 
from his eyes and then just as his head began to hang letting the tears wilt, 
away by the heat suddenly "PIKACHU" "Macargo" an explosion erupted. A 
wall of sizzling smoke blurred Macargo out of sight just as the wall of fire, 
died out "Hey what's the deal where's that yellow rodent & my Macargo?". 
Soon as the smoke blew away a mole like hole stood where Macargo used to 
be out popped Pikachu smiling cheerfully his little yellow body covered in, 
black coal marks & singes he sported Ash's 2 fingered sign "Pikachu-I win". 
Ash smiled & jumped for joy running & hugging his friend tightly cheering 
"You did it you did it ha, ha" as his friends joined him Slick ran to, the hole 
to find his Macargo laying black as the night flash fried by the blast. 
Swirling his eyeball with kooky symbols Slick recalled his Pokemon angrily 
sneering cold stares as Tracey sketched the unconscious Pokemon just now, 
"CHEATER" "I told you before I am not a cheater I beat you fair & square". 
"This time I got proof and your pimply pals saw it too Pikachu vanished and 
Macargo wound up fainted explain that" Tracey smirked showing his pencil, 
pad out to Slick in seconds his eye bulged gagging on his own odd stutters. 
"From what I saw Pikachu dug threw the flames while everyone else got 
blinded by them digging underground he blasted Macargo from his weakest, 
point his slimy bottom which is more liquid then up his whole upper body. 
Using a thunder bolt attack blew a hole underneath collapsed him in fainting 
Macargo and Pikachu unharmed" Slick was cold and white as an old corpse, 
his pupils so tiny and shrunken his mouth could only stutter inhuman babble. 
Ash grinned picked up Pikachu took Misty's hand and her "Congratulations 
Ashy" "Thanks Mist" kiss appreciation and walked off with Tracey leaving, 
Slick to stand there as a statue babbling on "I lost……" over and over again. 
As our trio patted Ash's back he smiled and nodded taking the glory "Yeah 
being a Pokemon master has advantages" Misty giggled "And having a big, 
head is one of em?" Ash turned red and laughed nervously Tracey did too. 
"All right guys let's just cool our heels before you 2 get in trouble" "What 
did someone say trouble?" a childish laugh followed that voice "Oh yes, 
why not make it double" suddenly smoke filled in and the morons arrived. 
"Prepare for new styled trouble" "Why not spice it up & double it too?" "To 
protect the world from devastation, to unite all people's with in our nation, 
to denounce the evils of truth & love, to extend our reach to the stars above". 
"Jesse/James Team Rocket blast's off at the speed of light, surrender now or 
prepare to fight" "Meowth, Meowth that's right" said the ever predictable, 
and annoying Team Rocket posing their ridiculous poses for our bored trio.

"Look it's over guys you have failed at every try to steal Pikachu for years 
all you do is get more annoying each time you pop up" Misty groaned out, 
"She's right only thing new is I'm a Pokemon master face it you guys suck". 
Gasps of anger and rage from the rockets now growing lips "How dare you 
we spent all our lives trying to catch Pikachu and we didn't do all that work, 
stealing from you twerps just to give up now" James scratched his blue hair. 
Slowly tapping Jesse's shoulder "No wait they got a point" "And so do I" 
Meowth easily bashed James skull with his pound attack shutting him up, 
"No matter how many times we fail Team Rocket will never ever die brats. 
Besides we got ya a brand new ting to take you tree out with" interest 
weakly got Ash's attention staring his hazel eyes at them James grinned as, 
he & Jesse stepped aside revealing a Pokemon unlike the gang has ever seen. 
"Where are our manners James?" "Your right Jesse we should introduce you 
to the latest and strongest Pokemon addition to Team Rocket" the odd ball, 
Pokemon looked like 2 giraffe's joined together at the hip 1 yellow 1 black. 
The left yellow side had a kind gentle cartoon looking giraffe head with 2 
white horns a pink snout and small brown spots sporting 2 long legs ending, 
with chocolate dark hooves the other dark right side was more barbaric like. 
The head skinny as a bone the face a bowling ball shaped skull with 
snapping jaws beady eyes and a black bulging boned body covering its dark, 
neck with a row of small spikes "Girafarig da prize/weapon to ourselves ha". 
Seeing a new Pokemon with Team Rocket especially such an odd and 
bizarre looking one nervous enough Ash Misty Tracey all at once pulled out, 
Dexter analyzing "Girafarig a very rare psychic Pokemon found in the Johto. 
Like Doduo it has 2 heads but each work together and combine their mental 
powers to win battle the left side is good and the right side is the dark one", 
"Oh man 2 weird Pokemon in one day talk about a full day" Ash said softly. 
As he put Dexter away Tracey asked the rockets confused "But where did 
you guys get this guy where is this Johto we keep hearing about as well?", 
Jesse laughed wickedly sneering to him "Let's just say Lady luck is with us. 
With our newly captured Pokemon we'll blast you twerps into oblivion and 
then we'll take over as the head Pokemon masters" James giggled like a kid, 
clapping his black gloves "Come on Pikachu go easy on yourself give it up". 
The blue haired rocket leaped reaching out for the electric mouse only to be 
thunder bolted away sizzling and whimpering in black agony James snarled, 
back to Pikachu "Fine be that way Girafarig psychic blast those little brats". 
Yet as James commanded pointing at the trio the twin headed Pokemon 
simply yawned its 2 heads continued eating the grass James sweat dropped, 
"Jesse we seem to have some problems" "You idiot the problem here is you. 
Pokemon don't listen to inferior incompetent trainers like you all Pokemon 
are like kids they listen to the ones they know are the ones in charge" just as, 
Jesse stepped to Girafarig the twin sets of eyes leered at her instantly coldly. 
Suddenly she squealed glowing bright blue both yellow and dark sides of 
Girafarig used psywave & smashing Jesse into a tree she flinched laying, 
painfully crippled on the ground "Kids have no respect dese days Jesse". 
Ash couldn't help but laugh at this as did Misty and Tracey Pikachu too 
"Looks like James shouldn't catch anymore Pokemon he can't even do that, 
right" Misty smirked "I wasn't the one who caught it I thought Jesse did". 

James replied getting to his feet Jesse scratched her magenta hair looking to 
James lost "But I thought you took care of it James" "Well Jesse if I didn't, 
catch it & you say you didn't then that means" he stopped and looked back. 
Then turning his stunned eyes to Jesse the 2 rockets screamed in groaning 
agony face faulting Meowth flared about wildly screaming his furry head, 
and paws off "Are you 2 dumb bells telling me NOBODY CAUGHT IT?". 
Jesse and James nodded to Meowth sounds of Ash Misty Tracey Pikachu 
Togepi Meowth & Girafarig as well face faulting at this complete stupidity, 
"Blast it we finally find a rare Pokemon & we can't even remember whether. 
Or not we caught it all" Jesse raged madly at Girafarig James joined in with 
Jesse hissing like a cat until a real cat Meowth leaped & slashed both heads, 
of the confused Girafarig leaving deep red scares in both their wincing faces. 
"Dats for tricking us and being a lousy Pokemon battler I don't even see 
what's so rare or special about a 2 headed LOSER Pokemon" Meowth, 
shouted at the scarred Pokemon who's twin eyes suddenly bulged bright red. 
Psychic energy of flames and rage engulfed their cold staring pupils at Team 
Rocket Girafarig whaled like a horse at them snarling & snapping furiously, 
"Pika pi Pikachu pi Chu Pikachu-those 2 don't sound too happy not at all". 
Ash looked down at Pikachu sensing his doubts "Pikachu come on what did 
it say something bad?" "It just said both heads are very mad at us disturbing, 
their peace & quiet now it wants to show us what a 2 headed freak can do". 
A burst of half-red half-blue surging psychic a blast of supreme psychic 
powers the sky flashed from blue to black clouds brimming with darkness, 
and thunder flashing like a hurricane storm above our fearful Pokemon gang. 
Girafarig uttered some mixed voice sounding cries using a combination of 
psychic blast teleport and all of its remaining psychic energies Girafarig, 
whaled out loud a explosion erupted from under Ash in co. & Team Rocket. 
Catapulting the screaming flaring children into the black stormy sky a huge 
hole amongst the darkness and flashing psychic energy waves and lighting, 
into the hole they went winds blasting them into the depths of the madness. 
Time seemed like meaningless information seconds long as hours and hours 
fast as mili-seconds time eventually took back its place shapes and pictures, 
flashed into their screaming terrified mind & eyes beginning to land quickly. 
When they awoke Ash slowly opened his weak hurting hazel eyes blinking 
in lost confusion feeling as if he has never used his eyes in so many years, 
his vision fuzzy & unclear yet he could make out a figure standing over him. 
The figure stared at him with blue eyes staring into his own like peeking at 
his soul his gray shirt blew softly in the cool pleasuring breeze of the winds, 
his pants down to his crossed shoes the figure spoke very nervously "Ash?". 

And in seconds once more the young trainer blacked out memories dreams 
and fantasies flashed before his very eyes or so he sees in his mind wearily, 
eventually a few more hours passed and finally Ash arose quickly to his feet. 
His eyes widened with shock his surroundings the area everything was so 
different no forest no Pokemon no Team Rocket just a very massive house, 
"Wow what happened to me where am I I've never seen a place like this". 
He gasped remembering "Team Rocket that Pokemon MISTY PIKACHU 
Tracey too man where are they?" "Upstairs sleeping" "WAHH" "AHHH", 
the voice and Ash screamed stumbling back his legs collapsing like jellyfish. 
The boy he saw before stood there holding a soda can a sandwich on a plate 
and in his right arm under his armpit was "PIKACHU hey give me Pikachu, 
back buddy" Ash leaped up and grabbed him back instantly the boy gasped. 
"Look I know this all must seem a big shock Ash but you need to calm 
down" "Calm down not a chance who are you how do you know my name, 
and where in the world am I?" Ash continued frantically shouting on loudly. 

The kid sighed setting the food and drink down for him Pikachu twitched his 
tiny black nose he awaken & cried "Pika pi" happily at sight of the food he, 
leaped & began to eat it rapidly filled with starvation the boy was shaking. 
"Hey kid what's wrong Pikachu won't hurt you" the kid shook his head 
wiping the cold surprising sweat from his face "You guys are…..really real, 
the real….Ash and Pikachu?" Ash scratched his head staring at him blankly. 
"Well I am glad my title is well heard but you act as if you never have seen a 
Pokemon before" "I haven't" Ash laughed & the kid shouted to him angrily, 
"CUT it out" "Look I'm sorry its just hard to not see a Pokemon at all okay. 
I mean they are all over the place" the boy walked to him and pointed to a 
mirror Ash looked to it and leaped back panicking "No way I look like I'm, 
older like a teenager or something I'm only supposed to be 14 years old". 
The kid looked at him firmly his deep blue eyes focusing on Ash's "I think 
its time you listened my name is Rob I found you Misty Tracey Pikachu, 
unconscious at my home park no one was around and you all looked hurt. So 
I dragged you all home kept you safe and tried to help you guys get better &, 
and finally you did" Ash relaxed exhaling his breath & sporting a soft smile. 
"That is such a relief I thought you kidnapped up or something Rob" they 
both laughed Rob walked to him & they shook hands a twin tight hard grip, 
"Thank you rob and I am sorry I blew up at you like that" "It can happen". 

Their ears turned up and soft voices of gasps and questions of where they 
were echoed from Rob's long hallway of pictures wallpaper & green carpet, 
Ash ran up to the room Rob had them in and quickly told them everything. 
No later then 5 minutes the beautiful Misty came down creating a warm 
blush to Rob's cheek seeing her short red hair and innocent sweet smile, 
walking down the small stairway with Tracey Ash and Pikachu behind her. 
The deep crystal blue eyes of the young teenager lit up brighter then 
Pikachu's thundering cheeks at the sight of them right before his very eyes, 
were his dreams his hopes his imaginations all true with in these 4 creatures. 
"H-h-h-h-hi" Rob could only stutter his face beaming red with nervousness 
and shyness at sight of them all especially Misty who walked up to him and, 
gave him a small hug smiling a sweet innocent smile "Thank you so much. 
Ash told us that you brought us to your home even were strangers you 
helped us out" Rob coughed lightly replying to himself "If you only knew, 
well welcome you all to my home my parents are out so its just the 4 of us". 
"Pika pi-me too" Rob laughed yet unable to tear his widening eyes at sight 
of a real live Pokemon Tracey nodded walking along admiring the old wood, 
finish well painted walls & windows shining brightly with the gold sunlight. 

Yet a gasp of shock echoed from his trembling lips as he looked to the 
mirror he looked back at his own face acting like he has never seen it before, 
to himself he was a young oriental boy it looked his black bang hair wilting. 
Under his tightly roped-bred bandanna his green shirt overlapping his body 
like it was a massive pajama shirt to bed he called the others only to have, 
similar results "Tracey what happened to all of us?" "I wish I knew Misty". 
Ash looked far older then he was supposed to be his messy black hair 
seemed like larger mess like someone out of the 60's not as long however, 
his face seemed bigger bolder more adult like with his large deep hazel eyes. 
His clothes were bright and brimming with color he looked to Misty who 
oddly looked a hundred more times more beautiful then he has ever seen her, 
seeing her clothes were bright like his he and Rob simply stared at her face. 
Soft cheeks rosy red like Santa her red hair tied up nicely in a ponytail in a 
blue band her long arms shining smooth and silky milk white skin covering, 
down to her long and slender soft skinned legs to her small ankle and shoes. 
Orange as daylight reflecting its beauty from her own angelic diamond eyes 
as for Togepi and Pikachu let's say those two felt bigger and larger then life, 
Rob once more smiled softly his gentle grin replying "Happy to meet you".

After having some sandwiches and some soda drinks for a late lunch Robby 
talked to the trio endlessly as well having a good laugh watching Pikachu, 
gulp down his ketchup bottle "I swear it's so cool to see that in real life". 
Rob bit his lip and then gulped realizing what he said Tracey asked curious 
"What do you mean real life?" Ash added a query "How did you know that, 
Pikachu likes ketchup" "Wow a great meal now let's head back to the park". 
Misty nodded cleaning up her plate as the others stood doing the same  
"Right since Rob said he found us in the park it makes sense that we should, 
look there and try to find a way home from where ever this place is were in". 
Ash switched his poke-hat backwards and ran to the door zooming out Misty 
called to him "Hey Ash oh you…… wait up for us too" "Pikachu-come on", 
watching them run out the door Rob turned watching them all leave outside. 
Feeling alone again that is until a voice from Ash and Misty called "Hey 
Rob come on we want you to come too" in his mind Rob threw his hands up, 
thinking to himself happily following "Never thought I'd hear those words". 
In a few minutes they ran across the street heading to the luscious green 
grass filled tree coated park filled with plants laughter from near by children, 
enjoying themselves on the jungle gym Rob felt just like them a child again. 

Soon walking towards where they fell Tracy sketched their landing spots the 
sky possible markings to double check if they had been missing something, 
because without any holes or energy tracks or something they were all stuck. 
"Sorry guys I drew every possible spot area place and section that might 
help but they all seem a dead end very beautiful here though" "Like Misty", 
Rob said she blushed and noticed how he was sitting down on an old stump. 
Staring endlessly with a happy grin on his face at the playing children "Rob 
are you sure you don't know how to help us go home?" "We really need to", 
Ash added but Rob laughed and patted his back "No major rush to is there. 
After seeing hundreds of sci-fi and monster movies a few possible ideas on 
this spot but for now I suggest you guys not fret so much on it right now", 
Ash looked at him lost scratching his black hair Misty & Tracey watching. 
"Life is a journey that we all must endure and unless we enjoy it instead of 
worrying about problems so much you'll never truly be free waking up next, 
day breathing a new day in and seeing what kind of treasures it has to offer. 
Besides I am sure that up there in Heaven Giovanni doesn't want you and 
your loving girlfriend to live without happiness" Ash and Misty gasped out, 
"WHAT" but Rob ran off laughing and running like a child toward the gym. 

Ash and Misty quickly followed immediately wanting to know how this 
strange boy knows about Giovanni and about their love relationship too, 
Tracey and Pikachu shrugged and ran after them always keeping an eye. 
Being a guardian to them of sorts no trouble though was found and if 
Giovanni were watching (which he is) right now he would smile brightly, 
Ash Misty and Rob's cheery voices of laughter joined with the other kids. 
All the time Ash and Misty chased Rob around the gym playing and running 
around they forgot all about asking their endless questions & for those brief, 
minutes and moments of joy the wonders of childhood reentered their hearts. 
Meanwhile not too far from our happy heroes and new found friend in the 
far off little town close to the public theaters & stores in the suburban town, 
where Rob lived the staggering whimpering Team Rocket slowly awakened. 
Ruffling their hairs and wiping the dirt form their faces totally lost and 
confused of their strange and new whereabouts "Jesse either you hit me too 
hard or were in a totally different place then before" James said. Rubbing his 
eyes over & over to be sure noticing his voice sounded a bit strange as well, 
"James your voice ah my voice what's going on here it looks like Pallet". 

Meowth walked wearily acting as if he never walked before feeling his fur it 
"Hey weird my fur its all bulgy and my body it seem a whole lot bigger boy, 
I tink something happened to us" Jesse and James looked around each other. 
Watching cars buzz and zoom past them in a blur other questions popped 
into their clueless heads like where Ash and the gang was and the Girafarig, 
"Guys look Poke-bounty ahoy" Meowth grinned wickedly rubbing his paws. 
Sneering his dark eyes upon a massive toy store which sported a banner 
reading in big bold letters "Pokemon sale all your favorites at low prices", 
"Just the break we've been looking for let's go" "Yes Jess make it double". 
In seconds the bumbling rockets ran across the road screaming and whining 
dodging cars with angry drivers shouting profanities to them driving past, 
"Yeah well you look clear too" Jesse groaned "James he didn't say clear". In 
seconds they rushed in wandering their eyes for Pokemon Jesse ran to clerk, 
asking her where the Pokemon were after pointing them out the rockets ran. 
Running faster and faster until "YES after long last Pikachu your mine" 
James said giggling "Look you guys Mew Mewtwo even a big old Snorlax", 
"AH a Persian all right you rotten flea bag put up your claws right now HA". 

Meowth said unsheathing his razor claws staring angrily at a stuffed Persian 
doll whom naturally just sat there being…a stuffed animal the gangster cat, 
used its fury swipes decapitating the doll slicing fluff and cloth everywhere. 
"AH I killed him wait there's no blood or nuttin something's weird here" 
Meowth warbled over and picked up the toy checking its body all over, "I 
don't believe copyright Game freak inc. Monsters of Pokemon licensed toys. 
What da heck is going on here?" he turned to Jesse and James shrieking 
themselves just now finding out all the Pokemon they had were just "Toys, 
are you saying somebody owns Pokemon enough to make these little toys?". 
Meowth nodded to James hopping on his shoulder "And dats not all there 
are also board games posters video games rubber toys and figurines of us, 
and the twerps" "No way" Jesse claimed Meowth quickly showed them. 
Leaning there shocked widening eyes over the endless parade of mile long 
toys and Pokemon merchandise "What is all this stuff how can it be real I, 
thought everyone knew Pokemon was real" the rockets were still confused. 
And to make things worse the slider doors of the toy store opened up as Rob 
Ash Misty & Tracey walked in with Rob pleading for them all to leave fast, 
"Rob all right I am just picking a souvenir up for my mom when we leave".

"You don't understand things are gonna get really bad please believe me the 
longer you guys stay here the more angry and confused you'll be" Misty &, 
Tracey looked to each other shrugging "Come on toy stores just for fun Rob. 
Even in this place we can't be in trouble" "Prepare for trouble" "Make it 
double" gasps came from Ash & the gang looking around for Team Rocket, 
frantically searching for the thieves only to find a talking Jesse/James bank. 
Nearly ripping his hair out Rob was going nuts "Oh great I'm am so dead 
now once they look around they'll know the truth god man what else can, 
happen?" before Ash could get closer and examine the high voiced bank toy. 
BAM "No one copies my face or voice in such a lousy fashion besides its 
my beautiful self there making money off I should at least get some profits", 
"JESSE" "And James Ow" Meowth kicked his head in quickly snarling too. 
"What a surprise the stars of the show finally show up" "What are you 
talking about you mangy fur ball?" Ash said holding his Pokeballs tightly,  
Rob watched them from behind he knew he didn't like where this was going. 
Jesse raised her massive mallet after bashing the bank with "Guess that new 
real twerp you are with didn't let the Meowth out of the bag yet" "Yes Jess, 
let's do tell" Misty sneered at them holding her little Togepi closely to her. 

Moving her long legs back a few steps replying "We don't care what you 
have to say just go back to the rocks you creeps crawled out of" "Duck", 
Rob said shoving the trio down and slamming his foot onto Pikachu's tail. 
He squealed in pain and unleashed a radical thunder shock attack blasting all 
over the ceiling shattering the lights and reducing the store to total darkness, 
"Everyone run" "Forget it I can handle Team Rocket all by myself Rob". 
Sighing and frantic Rob yanked Ash back his blue shirt dragging him fast as 
he can and the others out the doors "I know you can but this is not the time, 
or the place" he turned his blue eyes to see the rockets chasing right behind. 
Pikachu leaped and yanked down a red container bin spilling hundreds of 
toy Pokeballs and squeak Pokemon shaped toys as the rockets easily tripped, 
over them giving them enough time to zip outside & develop a plan quickly. 
"Fast thinking Rob you sure gave them the slip" "See them next fall any 
other jokes good let's go Tracey" he said hopping into a motorized go-kart, 
ripping open a spare gas can for sale & dumping it into the engine to start it. 
"Rob your not going to steal that thing are you?" "Uh yeah actually" Misty 
frowned crossing her arms "I am not gonna stoop down to Team Rocket's, 
level" "I agree with Misty Rob these guys are losers we can handle them". 

Rob ignored Ash and buckled up waiting for them "I can't explain right now 
but if you don't get in were all gonna be dead meat" Tracey looked back no, 
doubt about it Team Rocket was racing towards them with angry mad eyes. 
"Guys maybe we should do it" Ash looked back and screamed leaping into 
the second front seat "Pikachu Tracey Misty move your butts we gotta go", 
"Ash not you too what's the matter I'm gonna kill you guys unless you talk". 
"You heard her that's a threat GET DOWN ON THE GROUND OR WE 
SHOOT" Misty turned & screamed so hard and fast it only came out a weak, 
screech to her a police officer fired a bullet barely missing her by her feet. 
She leaped up and into the car shoving her own foot onto Rob's on the gas 
pedal "Drive ALREADY" bullets flew at them rapidly screams of fear and, 
excitement echoed out there lungs driving the go-kart out of the parking lot. 
"Now here's a familiar scene the cops are after us but this time the twerps 
are stealing stuff too" "When in Rome come on James Meowth were gonna, 
track down those brats and get Pikachu" Jesse said swiping her own go-kart. 
Meowth grinned evilly pouring the gas into the machine and squealed in 
pain a bullet bouncing off his gold coin "Enough yacking start dragging and, 
by that I mean HIT IT" Jesse screeched black tire marks and engine smoke.

Ripping apart the road as they zoomed flooring full speed dodging the flying 
bullets and chasing cops following them very closely in their squad cop cars, 
reporting in the situation as Rob Ash & the gang and Team Rocket rode on. 
Burning rubber and go-kart tires Tracey gasped "Rob screws up at 12'o 
clock" "That's rockets you pencil geek" Jesse screamed as she rammed her, 
car into theirs Rob yelled and rammed them back keeping their car straight. 
As a mini bumper car war raged bashing and smashing into each other side 
by side "That's it Jesse just get a little bit closer I got you now Pikachu you, 
OOOWW" James shrieked leaning over from the back seat to Rob's go-kart. 
Stretching his white shirt sleeves and black gloved hands only to be thunder 
shocked by Pikachu & sent sizzling back in pain "That hurt way more then, 
usually" Jesse snarled madly & tossed out a Pokeball calling out Likitung. 
"Now Likitung grab that car and hold onto it NO MATTER WHAT" 
"Licky" it cried and launched its huge dripping drooling pink tentacle like, 
tongue the slimy appendage wrapped around the back end of Rob's go-kart. 
"Just perfect ACK" Rob shoved his foot harder down on the gas but no 
matter how much the wheels ripped pavement squealed endless screeches, 
and torn up their own rubbery texture Likitung and his tongue held strongly. 

Slowly and struggling in knot tying twisting pain from his attack Likitung 
began to drag the go-kart step by step backwards towards Team Rocket "Its, 
useless Likitung won't let go & this car isn't budging unless he releases it". 
Ash smirked his adventurous Pokemon catching grin as he removed a 
Pokeball and expanded it to its full capacity catapulting it into the high blue, 
sky shouting "Pidgeot I choose you" the ball opened up white energy soared. 
Into the open forming into a live gigantic tan skinned flacon Pokemon with a 
sharp beak massive talons white yellowish belly long colored feathery hair, 
and a simply spectacular and breathless magnificent spread of mighty wings. 
"Unbelievable NEE HA" Rob laughed "Pidgeot seismic toss Likitung high 
as you can go" Ash commanded Misty Tracey Rob and Pikachu watched, 
their eyes widening with joy as Pidgeot grappled the pink monster's tongue. 
Flapped its falcon wings and shot up into the endless sky like a blazing 
bullet vanishing out of sight "My Likitung?" "Forget that licking loser those, 
kids are getting aways with our Pikachu" Meowth squabbled shoving Jesse. 
Out of the driver's seat and floored the car ripping out supreme speed and 
velocity quickly catching up with Rob's car as were the police officers "We, 
are giving you kids a final warning pull over or else we shall open fire now".

Hearing their taunts James giggled evilly as he stood up waving his fanny 
mooning the cops in his white rocket suit snickering "How about I give you, 
America's most wanted face HAHAHA" "That's blow that joker's butt off". 
A gunshot is fired and James screamed out in pain falling down and writhing 
squirming & squealing in searing pain Jesse tried to calm him down sighing, 
Meowth said "Talk about your hot pants HA OW hey don't kick the driver". 
"Guys we can't keep this up forever were running out of gas and I don't 
think my parents want to see me in mug shots for my next birthday" Misty, 
nodded tapping Ash "Right hey Ash got any ideas for a good diversion?". "I 
thought you'd never ask okay Pidgeot bombs away police mail that is" Ash, 
shouted from his lungs to his flying friend as Rob headed for a sharp curve. 
In seconds the bumbling licking pink pocket monster crashed into the cop 
cars' wind shield the officers screamed & slammed on the brakes full speed, 
Likitung flew off the hood & crashed into Pidgeot & then into Team Rocket. 
Screams from flying people and Pokemon mixed into one hurtling projectile 
grew with a final crash lifting Ash Rob Misty Tracey Pikachu & Togepi too, 
full speed out of the car into the air speeding even faster from the fast turns. 

Screaming towards a window they closed all eyes arms and mouths as their 
bulging bodies shattered threw the glass and sprawled onto a big dark room, 
slowly they all staggered to their wobbling legs dropping small bits of glass. 
From their hair and clothes Rob panted tired and frankly nearly exhausted 
faced Ash and Misty "How do you guys live threw all this day and day out, 
and not PASS out?" "Frankly I don't even know how we survive anything". 
Team Rocked nodded weakly "We can relate after all we get more breaks 
then Jackie Chan in his whole career" everyone burst out laughing even the, 
Pokemon from James joke but it died out realizing their enemies & stopped. 
Standing into a fast battle pose against one another Ash Misty Tracey Rob 
Pikachu Togepi against Team Rocket and no sooner did Ash call out his last, 
remaining Pokemon from their balls so did Jesse and James fully prepared. 
As were the hundreds and thousands of cheering screaming fans of children 
teenagers adults and millions more of Pokemon fans everyone's trembling, 
weak and now gasping eyes and mouths looked to the kids pale as a corpse. 
A voice suddenly yelled to them as a man shouted "Its about time you guys 
got here I was getting just as worried and angry as the kids" "Say what?". 
Meowth replied very weakly the tall man shook his head and pointed out. 

The kids pushing their stage stiffen bodies towards the cheering voices and 
faces replying "Just do your show sing dance whatever forget the window it, 
made a good entrance now let's GO, GO, GO" he walked off leaving them. 
The kids were speechless thousands of kids just mere seconds from turning 
to an angry mob unless some show was put on thinking fast as the warm, 
sweat trickled down their terrified faces Rob ran and whispered something. 
To Team Rocket they looked at him oddly but he pushed it on Tracey asked 
"Rob what did you tell them?" "Just move back guys" "Okay" Misty said as, 
they slowly walked off stage behind the curtains leaving the rockets alone. 
Jesse stood up cleared her throat laughing nervously and began "P-p-Prepare 
for t-t-trouble" the crows cheered louder this time with joy and excitement, 
James continued "Make it double" he waited hearing even louder cheers. 

"We'll be the richest crooks of all time" "Creators of a grand design" "I'll 
be the king" "I'll be the queen" Meowth added "I'll be the joker of crime", 
"To protect the world from devastation, to unite all people's within our 
nation". "Jesse, James Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light, surrender 
now or prepare to fight" "That's right" They boomed their voices loudly as, 
flashing lights and colors shined onto them signing out a rocket like song. 
"Team Rocket's rocket Poke-trouble double trouble big trouble's gonna 
follow you……were gonna capture Pikachu" dancing with Jesse James and, 
Meowth their Pokemon Arbok Weezing Likitung and Victreebel danced too.

After about 4 minutes of bright singing dancing stunts and simply wonderful 
performances from the rockets had captivated the audience like no other has, 
the cheering the screaming and endless "I love you" & happy compliments. 
The song ended and the rockets walked off and for the final act of their 
suddenly taken show (and cause Rob gulped noticing the manager was the, 
only guy barely able to hold back the officers from arresting them off stage). 
Rob handed Ash Misty Tracey some small bits of paper and whispered to the 
Pokemon to just dance and move along with the beat to the song about to be, 
played they all nodded the spotlight was on them & Ash Misty trusted Rob.

"The magic feeling it's grown so strong always leads me to a place where I 
belong. Won't go away never let me down I've got the greatest friends that 
ever could be found. Across ever river behind every tree on top of every 
mountain they're apart of you and me.

One world-now and forever, best friends-loyal and true, one dream-side by 
side there's nothing we can't do, one hand-helping the other, each heart-
beating as one, We live-always together sharing the SAME BRIGHT SUN. 
You and me and Pokemon……

They rush like water they soar like the wind there always with me every day 
that I begin. They burn like fire they chill like ice they take on any challenge 
make any sacrifice. Across ever river behind every tree on top of every 
mountain they're apart of you and me.

 One world-now and forever, best friends-loyal and true, one dream-side by 
side there's nothing we can't do, one hand-helping the other, each heart-
beating as one, We live-always together sharing the SAME BRIGHT SUN. 
You and me and Pokemon.

And with that final song of laughter dancing joy and undoubtedly 
unbelievable enjoyment and the loved life of being a child again once more, 
seeing that song and dance of everyone's favorite Pokemon trainer heroes. 
And their Pokemon Rob cried laughed and loved it just as much as the other 
kids because deep down inside his heart & soul he will always be a little kid, 
"Guys let's run & fast" he said yanking them off stage bowing to their fans. 
Just in time as the REAL performers of the show finally arrived and the 
police obviously thinking they are the culprits that stole the gas and go-karts, 
since their clothes match the real people they arrest the Poke actors instead. 
"Looks like rain and a thunder storm at that" Tracey said sketching some of 
the dark clouds out of boredom as Misty felt the cool rain drizzle across her, 
soft rosy cheeks Ash wiped the water from his gentle child adult like face. 
Just as his hazel eyes began to bulge in shock Pikachu leaped yelping to 
them fast as he could "Pika pi Pikachu pika pi-guys look at the park there, 
it's the Pokemon" "Girafarig" Ash Misty and Tracey said together in union. 
Staring threw the cold pouring rain at the whaling and screaming its 2 giraffe 
heads in cold winds and raindrops watching lighting strike its spiked backs, 
increasing its massive & growing colorful psychic aura forming once more. 

The portal dimension way to Ash's home world Team Rocket cheered for 
joy singing "Were gonna go home were gonna go home" but before Ash, 
could run towards the massive hole Rob spoke "Ash Misty all of you wait. I 
know your leaving and though I am REALLY upset about this I need to tell, 
you guys something" "What is it?" Misty asked looking worried to Rob. 
Blinking her ice cool watery blue eyes Ash stared at him replying softly "We 
can take it we just want the truth" Rob nodded and spoke he told all of them, 
that in this world they do not exist nor do any of their friends or families. 
Pokemon was all just made up by Japanese people to create a worldwide 
phenomenon of video games toys TV shows movies figures clothing books 
stickers and millions more merchandise basically "All of our adventures all, 
of my badges Pokemon even my….loves & relationships are all made up?". 
Rob sadly nodded yet to his obviously expect dismay of them discovering 
their true origins in this world a small smile of friendship trust and under, 
standing came upon Ash Misty Tracey Pikachu and even Togepi's little face. 
They all hugged Rob he was shocked happy and smiling too but still 
shocked Ash whispered to them softly winking as they headed off to home, 
"No matter what happens our friendship is real & it always will be forever".

Rob waved them goodbye laughing and smiling watching Ash not only 
vanish into the portal with Misty Tracey Pikachu and Team Rocket but also, 
with Girafarig too apparently on their way travelling up to the park to leave. 
Ash used the rain-wet grass and mud all around to have Pikachu thunder bolt 
and blast Girafarig capturing it in a Pokeball once more Ash Misty Tracey, 
Pikachu & yes even Jesse James and Meowth waved a final farewell to Rob. 
The portal closed for the final time and Rob knew by know they were home 
yet it killed him so much wanting badly to go their himself he knew he was, 
destined to be here he'll never forget this day adventure & his new friends. 
You see no one can be totally sure if the things we watch love and have 
grown up over the years are truly false or not children never end their joys, 
of imagination cartoons and as well meeting their dream hero characters. 
You shouldn't give up yourself fight for your dream and your imaginations 
no matter how insane they may sound to someone else none of that matters, 
what matters is you are never too old or young to like or love anything at all.





				THE END!
