GATO'S SECRET POWER It was a sunny day as Ash and his friends walked down the dirt path. It hadn't been very long ago when they were Poke'mon. When they had destroyed Ghost and learned of Tiger's past. "I'm hot, tired and hungry. Can we please rest?" asked Gato from Misty's shoulder. Gato was a kitten like Poke'mon. From first glance you would think she was harmless, sweet and cute. Wrong. If you went up to her and had a talk, you would know looks don't tell about the person's personalities. "I'm hungry too. Come on Ash. Let's stop." Misty agreed. "Sure. But where? I don't see any good place to stop." Ash said. "Pika." Pikachu looked around from the top of Ash's head. "Maybe we should go along a little more and find a town to rest in." Brock suggested. "There's no way I'm going to continued following you until I get water." Gato snorted. "You have no choice unless you want to be left here." Misty snapped. "Chill! I was just making a statement." Gato answered. "Pikachu." Suddenly, Pikachu spotted a huge tree in the middle of a large field. He pointed at it happily. "Pika pi!" Ash looked over and saw what Pikachu did. "Look guys! We can rest there!" Ash exclaimed. Gato leaped off Misty shoulder and ran to the tree. "Me first! I get the best shade spot!" Gato called as she ran. "Gato! Wait!" Misty cried after her. They ran to catch up. Gato got to the tree and was about to climb it when she ran into something. She looked up. A very angry Jolteon looked down and growled. Gato scrambled back and ran back, only to run into Misty. Misty picked up her kitten Poke'mon and they all looked at the Jolteon. He stood growling. "I guess he's resting here." Ash sighed. Gato snorted. "I'm not letting no Jolteon chase me away from the shade." Gato stated. "Maybe I can capture it." Ash said, grabbing a Pokeball. "Ha! Yeah right!" Misty laughed. "You just watch, Misty!" Ash yelled at her. Ash went up and faced the Jolteon, who growled with bared teeth. Gato looked up at her, still in Misty's arms. "Do you do that just to start an argument?" asked Gato. Misty blushed and dropped Gato, who landed on the ground with a thump. "Uh, no!" Misty said quickly. Gato rubbed her rear. "Watch it! That hurt!" Gato growled. Pikachu giggled. "What are you laughing about pal?" Gato snarled. Pikachu ran behind Brock. Ash threw the Pokeball that was in his hand. "Go, Tiger!" he yelled. The wolf Poke'mon appeared and landed hard ion the ground in front of the wild Jolteon. The Jolteon stood his ground and showed no backing down. "Don't tell me you plan on capturing this little thing." Tiger snorted. Jolteon ran at him in angry to what he said and slammed his spikes into Tiger's side. Tiger backed away and yelped in pain. Gato snickered. "Not so little, is he?" called out Gato. Tiger growled. "Back off kitty cat! I don't see you fighting!" Tiger snarled. "Use your Blizzard!" Ash ordered. Tiger opened his mouth and shot snow and ice out his mouth. It was a full force hit! Jolteon tumbled back and slammed agasined the tree. He staggered to his feet. Sparks flew from his body and shot out everywhere at Tiger. Tiger was way too fast. He leaped and dodged every single bolt of lightning. He landed again in his same spot. "Great move Tiger! Now use your Headbash and finish him off!" Ash ordered. Tiger lowered his head and scraped the ground with his right front paw. He ran full force and slammed his horns into Jolteon in a very powerful attack. Jolteon flew up and back down. He slammed hard on the ground. He didn't move. Ash grabbed an empty Pokeball and threw it with all his might. It hit the lifeless Jolteon and bounced back a little ways. It opened and Jolteon was turned into a red light and he disappeared into the Pokeball. It shut tightly and fell to the ground. It shook once or twice before stopping. Ash walked over and picked up the Pokeball. "I caught Jolteon! All right!" Ash cheered. "Pika!" Pikachu held up a peace sign for victory. Ash walked up to Misty. "Now what are you gonna say? I caught him, didn't I?" bragged Ash. Misty shrugged without a word. Gato and Pikachu ran to the tree and under its shade. Gato climbed up it and disappeared in the leaves. Pikachu followed. Ash held out Tiger's blue and white Pokeball. "Return Tiger!" Ash said. A red light hit the wolf Poke'mon and Tiger was turned into red light. He then disappeared into his Pokeball. Ash put Jolteon and Tiger back on his belt. Brock began to cook them some lunch while Gato played with Pikachu in the tree. Sometimes one of them would fall out of the tree and hit the ground. Usually it was Pikachu. About the tenth time he did that Gato laughed hard. "You can't climb Pikachu." Gato giggled. Pikachu got mad and ran up the tree. Ash and Misty sat down under the shade of the big tree. Suddenly, the whole sky filled with lightning bolts. They were gone as quickly as they came. Right after that, Gato fell on to Misty's lap, brunt to a crisp. "I don't think its wise to mess with a very well shocked Pikachu." Misty laughed. "No kidding." Gato coughed. "Say, I wonder what Gato can do." Ash said suddenly. Pikachu hopped down on to his master's lap. "What do you mean?" asked Misty. "I mean, what can Gato do? Can she evolve? What are her attacks?" Ash explained. Misty looked at the brunt kitten and brushed her off. "She can attack." Misty said. "I know that. But what are your attacks Gato?" Ash asked. Gato hopped out of Misty's lap and took the Pokedex from Ash's pocket. "That's what this is for dummy." Gato sneered. "I'll prove you wrong." Ash said. He took it and pressed a few buttons. It showed a picture of Gato. "Dexter, full stats on Gato." Ash told the computer. "Name: Gato Type: Kitten Element: Normal Attacks: Unknown" the Pokedex said. "See. Dexter doesn't know any of the new Poke'mon's attacks. He needs to be upgraded." Ash explained. "Dumb computer." Gato snorted. "Can't you just tell us?" Misty asked. Before she could answer, Brock came over and gave them the soup he was making. After they ate, they got ready to go. "I told you they would be here." a voice complained. "But where were they for the past days?" another voice answered. "Where they've always been. We've just been gone because of the boss's orders." a cat voice answered. "Not you again. I was wondering where you three went." Ash said. It was none other than Team Rocket. "Who are they?" asked Gato. "Let us introduce ourselves!" James said. "You just had to ask, didn't you?" sighed Misty. "Prepare for trouble!" shouted Jessie "Make it double!" shouted James. "To protect the world from devastation!" "To unite all peoples within our nation!" "To denounce the evils of truth and love!" "To extend our reach to the stars above!" "Jessie!" "James!" "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!" "Surrender now or prepare to fight!" "Meeeowth! That's right!" Mewoth finished. "Oooookkkkkaaaayyyyy. Explain the point of that." Gato said. "There is no point. It's just something we do!" James said proudly. "Pika?" Pikachu scratched his head and Gato rolled her eyes. "We here for Pikachu and Pikachu only!" Mewoth growled. "Did anyone but me noticed that the little kitten Poke'mon can talk?" asked Jessie. "It can?" asked James. Jessie hit him on the head. "You idiot!" Jessie yelled. "Can you guys just go away and bug someone else?" asked Ash. "You little brats will be sorry you ever herd the name Team Rocket!" Jessie yelled. "We already are. Get to your point." Brock sighed. "That dose it! Arbok, Go! Show them your new power!" Jessie ordered, throwing a Pokeball. "New power?" asked Ash. "You too Weezing!" James said, throwing his Pokeball. The two Poke'mon appeared. Mewoth showed his claws and pointed at them. "Get 'em!" he ordered. "Pikachu, go!" Ash said. "PiKA!!" "Gato, show them!" Misty said. "If you say so." The two small Poke'mon jumped at they other two Poke'mon. "Pikachu, Thundershock!" Ash ordered. "Pika-CCCHHHHHUUUUU!!" Lightning bolts were everywhere. They all hit Team Rocket's Poke'mon. They were unharmed. Pikachu landed on the ground with a look of confusion. "What?" asked Ash, just as confused. Jessie laughed her evil laugh. "Our boss so gratefully gave our Poke'mon some new super powers." she explained. "Gato, use your Fury Swipes!" Misty ordered. Gato leaped and slashed Arbok. The snake just hissed and hit the kitten away with his tail. Gato flew back and slammed into Pikachu. They both went rolling back. The three Rockets laughed. "We finally have the Pikachu!" James cheered. Mewoth put Pikachu in a rubber net with Gato. "Let us out!" Gato cried. "You wish!" Jessie sneered. "Tiger, Jolteon, go!" Ash yelled throwing two more Pokeballs. "Geodude, get them!" Brock yelled throwing his Pokeball. "Vaporeon, attack!" Misty yelled throwing her Pokeball. All the Poke'mon appeared to face Team Rocket's Poke'mon. "Try as you might, you will never win." Mewoth laughed. "What is with these freaks." snarled Tiger. "You've met them before?" asked Ash. "Yup. When I went back to get your Pokedex, I ran into them. I easily chased them off." Tiger answered. "Not this time! Arbok, Super Sting!" Jessie ordered. "What?" asked Brock. Arbok lunged with his mouth wide open and his teeth ready. He snapped thin air. "Jolteon, Pin Missile!" Ash ordered. The electric type was weak, but not that weak. His fur stood out into needles and shot little yellow pins at the Poke'mon. Weezing was hit and spun in circles. He was able to regain balance. "Weezing, Smog!" James ordered. Weezing poured out thick green smoke. Everyone coughed and tried to fan the smoke away. Before Team Rocket could sneak away, a huge gust of wind blew the smoke away. "Huh? What was that?" asked Ash. They all looked around. A Pidgeot suddenly came flying past. He landed next to Ash. "Pidgeot! No way!" Ash gasped. "Pidgeot came back." Brock said. "Arbok, get them! Wrap attack!" Jessie yelled in rage. Arbok lunged and caught all the Poke'mon in a huge wrap. Gato was mad. She slashed hard at the net. RRRRRRRIIIIIIPPPP!! The net ripped and both Poke'mon tumbled out. Gato ran at Arbok and slashed him across the face. Arbok let go of the Poke'mon and lunged at Gato. She suddenly glowed bright white. "Gato is evolving!" gasped Brock. "Gato can evolve!?" Tiger cried. Everyone watched as she change. When the glow disappeared, in Gato's place was another creature. She looked like a white cat the size of a leopard. She had a red jewel the shape of a diamond on her forehead. All four paws had a metal like glove that was really her paw but looked like gloves. The metal had very sharp claws at the end. Her tail was parted at the end and had three green rings around her tail near the end. She had spots all around like a leopard. She had long fangs that came out her mouth like a Saber Tooth Tiger. She made a low growl. Arbok and Weezing backed away. "Surprise." she growled in a low, girl's voice. "What is it?" Misty asked Ash. Ash took his Pokedex and pointed it at her. "Magic the cat type Poke'mon. This Poke'mon is very rare and has many mysteries to be solved about it. It has the rare ability to change back into Gato." the Pokedex said. "Change back into Gato?" asked Brock. "Cool! Now we can win!" Ash cheered. "Go Magic!" Misty cheered as well. Jessie grabbed a Pokeball. "Were not done yet! Dragoon, go!" Jessie yelled throwing the Pokeball. The Pokeball opened and the light formed a strange dragon like Poke'mon. It looked like a blue dragon. It was the size of a Charizard and had the same head as a Charizard. It had blue, clear wings and a dark blue spin that ran down its back from its neck to the end of its tail. It's tail at the end was like a knives blade. It had strong back legs that were thick and front legs just as strong but not as thick so it could walk on all four as well as two. He growled low and fierce. All the Poke'mon but Magic stepped back. "Dragoon the water dragon type Poke'mon. This Poke'mon moves much like water and spits out water fire that's like fire, but worse. It like to confuse its enemies and turn itself into a lake." the Pokedex said. "Where did Team Rocket get a Poke'mon like that?" asked Tiger. "Who knows." Misty answered. "Not so tough, huh?" sneered James. Tiger growled and so did Jolteon and Vaporeon and Magic. Pidgeot looked mad and Pikachu was also looking mad. "Dragoon, crush them." growled Jessie. Dragoon roared and flapped his wings making everyone fall back. Magic got up fast and leaped. "Mega Ray!!" she yelled. She opened her mouth and shot a huge yellow beam at Dragoon. Dragoon blew blue fire that moved like water out his mouth. The two beams hit and exploded. Both were fine. Magic was on the ground growling. She leaped again and sank her long fangs into Dragoons side. He roared in pain and slapped her with his clawed hand. She fell back and rolled to a stop. She was getting up when Dragoon hit her with his water fire. "No! Magic!" Misty cried. Tiger leaped up. Two huge blue balls appeared at the end of his horns. "Mega Torpedo!!" Tiger cried. Two huge blue lightning bolts shot out of his horns at Dragoon. They hit him and he stumbled back a little. He roared and shot his water fire at Tiger. Tiger was to fast and dodged easily. He ran back to his friends. Dragoon turned to them. "Get all the Poke'mon!" Mewoth ordered. "Not while I'm around!" growled Magic. She was up and facing towards Dragoon. He truned toward her, ready to fire an attack. She suddenly glowed white. "What!? No way!" Ash exclaimed. "It's not possible!" Brock gasped. Magic changed. When the white glow disappeared another strange creature was there. It didn't look like an animal. In fact, it wasn't. It was a human like creature. She had long, snowy white hair that came down to the end of her back. She had long, white, feathered covered wings. She had white gloves that stopped just above her elbow. She had clothes that covered her front and went down and connect to cover the bottom and all. Her pants were connected to her clothing. One leg was fully covered the other was only part covered. She had boots on that stop just above the knee. Her clothing was also snowy white. She had blue eyes and pale skin. She was very pretty and thin and had a metal band around her forehead with the red diamond shaped jewel in the center. She floated in the air. "What... what is that?" Misty whispered to Ash. "Angel, the type of this Poke'mon is unknown. Like Mew, she can learn any HM or TM. She also learns different attacks by level like Fire Blast and Hydro Pump. No one is sure whether she is a human, a Poke'mon or both. Most say she is both." the Pokedex answered. "Angel?" asked Ash. "This is getting too strange." Brock said. "Pika." Pikachu nodded in agreement "You may have power, but I have more." she said in a very pretty voice. Angel pointed her hands forward. "Take this! Fire Blast!!" she yelled. Fire cam out her hands that was shaped like an X. It came for Dragoon. He attacked with his fire water and the two beams disappeared after hitting. "What to play tough I see. That should be fun." Angel laughed. Angel pointed her finger and thumb at Dragoon, like you would with your hand in doing a gun. A white bow appeared between her thumb and index finger. She raised her hand and a white, glowing arrow appeared in her hand. She pulled it back on an invisible string. "Heaven's Arrow!!" Angel cried out. She let the arrow go. It flew with speed and stabbed Dragoon in the chest. He roared and staggered back. "No! Were losing!" James cried. "Dragoon, Water Fire Blast, NOW!!" Jessie screamed. Dragoon pulled the arrow out and it disappeared. Blood was pouring form his wounds. He raised his head and shot a stream of water fire at Angel. She held out her hands and a rainbow shield blocked the beam. The water fire hit it and bounced away. Dragoon roared in angry and then fell to all fours in pain. Angel raised her hands in the air. A huge rainbow circle appeared above her. She lowered her hands and formed them like they were holding a ball. The rainbow circle began to disappeared and come together in Angel's hand. It was now a rainbow ball. She raise her hands back with the ball. "Heaven's Power!!" she cried. She threw the rainbow ball with all her might. It flew and hit Dragoon. He roared in pain as the light engulfed him. "Hid! Quickly!" Angel called to her friends. They all jumped behind the tree. There was a huge explosion of rainbow light and a roar of pain. All was suddenly quiet. Ash saw Team Rocket. "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" they shouted. They disappeared in a ding of light with their two Poke'mon. Everyone peeked out from the tree. Dragoon was gone. Angel stood on the ground. She turned and faced them. She smiled and suddenly glowed white. She shrank and when the glow disappeared, Gato lay on the ground. Misty ran to her Poke'mon and picked her up. Everyone else followed. "Gato? Are you okay?" Misty asked. Gato opened her blue, shinning eyes. "I'm hungry." she whispered. Misty smiled and hugged Gato tight. She pushed herself free and jumped on the ground on her two legs. "You had that power all along?" asked Misty. Gato nodded. Ash, Misty and Brock returned there Poke'mon. So now it was just the three of them and two Poke'mon. Pidgeot returned with Ash. "I can't believe Gato had those powers all along." Ash said. "Me neither." Brock agreed. "I've got a great new Poke'mon!" Misty said. "Yup. I'm glad I got to show you my powers." Gato said. "Your secret unique powers, Gato." Misty finished. With that, they walked on to the Poke'mon Center and their next challenge at the Stoneberge Gym. Authors Note: Yikes! That wasn't supposed to be as long as it was. Oh well. I hoped you liked it. Also, my story "The Sorceress" won't be for a while, so don't be really excited because it won't come for a while. Ash caught a Jolteon because of two things. 1. I like Jolteons! =^) 2. It has something to do with Vaporeon and the next story.....
