THE MYSTERIOUS ISLAND "What do you think? Dose it make me look cool?" asked Gato holding up a clip on earring that was on her right ear. "Uh, yeah. It's great Gato." Misty said trying not to laugh. Pikachu couldn't help it. He burst out laughing with a bunch of 'Pika pika's'. He fell off Ash's head and fell on the ground. He didn't care nor did he stop laughing. Pikachu pounded the ground harder and laughed harder. Gato's eye's narrowed. "Why you little rat!" Gato cried. She leaped off Misty's shoulder and onto Pikachu. A huge dust cloud formed as they fought. Misty giggled and Ash rolled his eye's. "You guys fight more than Ash and Misty." Brock commented. "Very funny. Cut it out Pikachu!" Ash said. "Gato, stop it!" Misty scowled. Lightning bolts exploded from the dust cloud and all was silent. Gato was on the ground, crisped. Pikachu stood in front of her. He prepared to shock her again. Ash picked him up. "Pikachu! I told you not to shock Gato." Ash sighed. Pikachu lowered his ears. "Pikachu." Misty picked up her burnt cat and brushed her off. "There, good as new. I told you not to start a fight with Pikachu." Misty said. Gato licked her paw and then felt for her earring. "Hey! Where'd it go?" she cried. Pikachu hid the earring behind his back. "Forget it Gato. Let's get going." Misty said. They went on. No one noticed the rare Poke'mon that sat in the tree above them. The bird watched them closely, like she was observing how they moved, talk and acted. She opened her great blue wings and took to the air. She caught a breeze and flew out above the ocean. The wind got strong and she knew a storm was to come. The Poke'mon knew that her plan would work. She flapped her blue wings again to gain speed and then disappeared into the black clouds. Meanwhile, Ash and his friends had found a cave to rest in while the storm hit. They were just on time. When they had a fire going, rain began to pour from the clouds. Lightning flash and thunder boomed. Misty stood near the cave's mouth. "We haven't had a storm like this in age's." Misty said. "We do need the rain, but I could live without the thunder and lightning." Ash said from over near the fire. Gato and Pikachu huddled together. "Pika pika chaa." "I know it's scary. Just chill." Gato answered to whatever the electric mouse had said. Misty left the cave mouth and sat down near the fire with her friends. Gato ran away from Pikachu and jumped into her lap. Pikachu ran to his trainer as well. The rain was coming down hard and they could here it on the roof. Outside the cave, something watched them. It watched them with more curiosity than the bird Poke'mon had. It was a small Poke'mon and very playful. It floated under a large tree. Rain poured and dripped from the leaves. The white Poke'mon giggled and flew out from it's safe spot. It flew high above them and disappeared. This job wasn't up to her. In the cave, Ash, Misty and Brock waited for the storm to let up. It showed no sign of it. "I think were parable going to have to spend the night here." Brock said. "In this cave! I hate caves!" Misty said with a shutter. "Why? You think a mean Caterpie is going come out and eat you?" Ash teased. WHAM! His remark was answered by a hit on the head. "Caves are just creepy to me, thank you!" Misty yelled at him. Suddenly, there was a low growling noise. Ash and his friends quickly turned to the dark, inside part of the cave. A young, female Wolflithe stepped form the shadows. Her teeth bared and growling. "I have the feeling that this is her cave and she doesn't like us in it." Brock said as they all backed up. "What gave you an idea like that, Sherlock?" Gato asked sarcastically. The female growled and then made her head in a motion that ment, come. A Rapidash stepped up next to her. "This is strange. A Rapidash and Wolflithe, together?" asked Brock. "Maybe there in a friendly mood." Gato said. The Wolflithe growled. "Or not." Gato yelped. The Rapidash reared up at them and pawed the air. Suddenly, Ash blacked out. * * * Ash slowly opened his eyes. He was staring down at the ocean. Huh? His head hurt badly and he clung to blue feathers. He was able to sit up on his knees. Only to feel the wind of wings beating. He looked around. He was flying! Or at least, on a flying Poke'mon. He looked at the Poke'mon he flew on. It was no question about it. This Poke'mon was the rare ice bird, Articuno. He looked around for his friends. He saw a Dragonair in the water below him. Misty was still knocked out and was riding on it. He looked down to his left and saw a Vaporeon swimming. Gato and Pikachu were knocked out and on it. Where was Brock? came a voice from no where. Ash was startled and looked around in panic. "Who said that?" he asked. Ash looked at the blue bird. "What? But, how?" asked Ash more confused than ever. Articuno laughed in his head. Articuno told him. "We?" "This is strange. Where's my other friend?" Ash asked. "Ash? Is that you?" came Misty's voice. Ash looked down at her on the Dragonair. She was holding tightly to it. Water was blowing up all around the both of them. "Yup. Are you okay?" Ash asked her. "I'm fine but, where's Brock and what are these Poke'mon doing?" Misty asked. came Dragonair's reply. "AAAHHH!" Misty screamed in surprise. "What is going on!" cried Gato's voice. "Pika pi!" Ash looked over at the Poke'mon. "It's okay Pikachu." Ash said. "Where is Brock?" asked Gato. Vaporeon answered. "AAAHHH!" Gato screamed. Articuno then explained to them all how they can talk. "I still don't see why you talk." Misty said after she had finished. Articuno said. She flapped her wings and took a land on the sandy beach of an island. Dragonair and Vaporeon hopped on shore. Misty and Ash got off there ride and the two Poke'mon joined there trainers. "Help!" came Brock's sudden cry. They all looked over to see a Scale snapping at him. Articuno yelled. Scale turned to them and growled. He charged at them. Articuno shot a blast of ice out her mouth and it hit him. He was frozen solid in a block of ice. Vaporeon sent a stream of water at the ice and knocked it into the water. It sunk. Dragonair said like nothing had happened. Articuno, Vaporeon and Dragonair lead the way into the forest. Ash and his friends followed. "I don't think I trust them. They killed that Scale with no mercy." Misty whispered to Ash. "It was attacking Brock." Ash pointed out. "Did you here what Articuno said? She told the Scale to tell Mewthree to back off. Isn't that what Ghost said? That Mewthree wanted us killed?" asked Brock. There was silences. "Something is defiantly going on with that Mewthree guy." Gato said to break the silences. "Pikachu." Dragonair said. They all looked to see a cave. "A cave?" asked Ash. Vaporeon said. They all walked into the cave. Suddenly, it wasn't a cave. It was a jungle with a beautiful pool of crystal clear water and a waterfall that ran into it. Ash and his friends stared in awe. Articuno said. She flew up and landed on the top of a very tall tree. Vaporeon dove into the water and stuck her head back up. cried a happy voice. Before he could ask, he was knocked down by something and licked to death. He laughed and pushed the Poke'mon off. When he sat up he saw a Growlithe sitting there happily wagging her tail. the Growlithe said in that strange thought speech. "How do you know my name?" asked Ash. asked the Growlithe. He shook his head. Articuno said. Growlithe said happily. "You are?" asked Misty. "But, you were stolen. It was all over the news." Brock said. came a very pretty voice. They all looked to see the female Wolflithe that was in the cave. "You. I know you!" Ash gasped. she answered. "What?" asked Gato. "She was the Wolflithe that came to me one night when I was a Poke'mon. She ran away at the sight of the others." Ash explained. she said. Misty remember her all right. She had watched her come and leave. asked another voice. teased another. A Rapidash and a Pikachu stepped forward. Ash's Pikachu cock his head. "Pika? Chu?" the little Pikachu said. She ran up to Pikachu. Pikachu jumped away and onto Ash's head. sighed the little Pikachu. said the Rapidash. asked a voice. sighed another. said yet another voice. A Persian, a Ninetales and a Mew appeared. "A Mew?" gasped Ash. laughed Mew. "Either there's two Mews or one that lives here." Brock said. answered Articuno in a mysterious voice. asked the Dragonair. Vaporeon answered. Dragonair said. Water swirled around her. Then the water broke into pieces and disappeared, a girl stood in the Dragonair's place. If you could call her a girl. She wore a blue and white bathing suit. She had short, dark and light brown hair mixed together and brown eye's. She had the Dragonair's white things on her head that sort of looked like wings in a way. She had her own human ears. She had a long and thick Dragonair tail. Under her chin, she had that peril that Dragonair dose. She didn't were any shoes. "I am Emerald." she said. She nodded to Articuno, who flew down on the ground. Ice swirled around her and then disappeared like the water. A girl stood in Articuno's place. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She wore a one piece outfit that was long sleeves and a skirt. The outfit was icy blue. She had two Articuno wings and human ears. She had a long, flowing Articuno tail. She also had sneakers on. "Icy." she said. Emerald nodded to the Persian. Sparkles spun around her and disappeared. A girl stood there as well. She had brown hair and brown eye's too. She wore a purple dress that was long and pretty. It was slit at the right end to show her leg. The dress was tied at her waist on the right and left side in a knot. She wore sandals that were brown. Her top was short so it showed her belly. It had a turtle neck collar and the top was also purple. It was sleeveless and loose. "Name's Persia." Emerald looked at the Growlithe. Fire engulfed her. The flames disappeared and another girl stood. She had brown eye's and brown hair. She wore a one piece like bathing suit. It was orange and had black strips on it like Growlithe. It had long sleeves instead of sleeveless like a bathing suit. She wore brown shorts over so you couldn't tell it was like a bathing suit. She had two Growlithe ears and a Growlithe tail. She wore black and white sneakers. "I'm Growly." By this time, Ash and his friends were in shock of it all. Mew giggled at there looks. Emerald nodded at the Vaporeon in the water. Water spun around her and disappeared. Again, a girl stood. Sort of. She sat on a rock that was in the pool. She had blond hair and blue eyes. She had Vaporeon ears and a Vaporeon tail that was her legs. Like a mermaid. She had a one piece on like a bikini top. Her hands came out of fins that were on her arms. They were Goldeen fins. The fins looked like she had slipped them on over her hands. She had small Goldeen fins on her elbow on each arm. "Sara is the name." The Pikachu didn't wait for a sign. Lightning bolts surrounded her. Pikachu hid behind Ash. When the lightning bolts were gone, a young girl stood. She had blond hair and brown eyes. She had two Pikachu ears that came out of her head. She had Pikachu's red cheeks on her cheeks. She had a yellow vest on that was long sleeved. She had a green shirt under neith and a yellow skirt. She had green socks that came up below her knee. She wore white sneakers. "My name's Pichu." The Mew was surrounded in pink light. It disappeared and a younger girl than all of them floated. She looked much like Misty in a way. She had brown flowing hair that was tied back in a ponytail. She had two Mew ears on her head and blue eyes. She wore a sleeveless shirt that was light pink. She had a loose skirt that came a little below her knees. It was dark pink. She had Mew's feet that looked like shoes. She had a long Mew tail. "Mewgirl is the name! Don't ware it out!" The Rapidash pawed the ground as flames engulfed her. When they were gone, a half creature stood. She had the top half of a girl but her body was still a Rapidash. She had fire that was on her elbow on both arms. She had Rapidash's pointy ears and long horn. She had blond hair and blue eyes. She had a one piece on that had no sleeves adn was short to show her belly. It had a strap that went over her right shoulder and her left. The piece was light red. "Ruby is my name." Flames surrounded the Ninetales. Another girl stood when they disappeared. She had a bathing suit on that was the color of Ninetales. She had brown hair that was sort of shaped like Ninetales's fur on her head. She had Ninetales ears and nine tales. Just like the Poke'mon. She had brown eyes as well. "Just call me Ember." The female Wolflithe stepped forward. Ash watched her with more interest than the other's. Ice surrounded her and slowly closed in. It then disappeared and reveled a very pretty and young girl. She had dark blue hair that flowed with grace in the wind. She had the Wolflithe's horns and had ice blue eyes. She had a top piece like Ruby except it was ice blue. It only had one strap that went over her right shoulder. It was tied in a knot at the bottom left. The left shoulder didn't have a strap. It just went under her arm and around the back in one piece. She had a icy blue skirt that came a little past her knees but not much. She had a long Wolflithe tail and her feet were Wolflithe paws. They were her feet and looked that way too. "I'm Tigress. I was named after the great Tiger Of The Wind." she said in a pretty voice. "Now this is strange." Brock said. "I think I'm going to have a heart attack." Gato gasped. Pikachu already had fainted after Pichu had changed. "Wow. You guys are all... half Poke'mon and half human." Misty whispered. "What....who are you." asked Ash. Emerald looked at him. "We are known as freaks to some people and freedom fighters to others. We fight the evil Mewthree and his forces. I am the leader of this group. Icy is the look-out, Mewgirl is the youngest and best at battling, Ruby it the oldest, Persia is the trickster, Growly is the gaurd sometimes, Pichu is the second youngest, Sara is known for being two Poke'mon, Tigress is known for beauty and Ember is known for grace. We all have our own personals." Emerald explained. "And you all turn into the Poke'mon you are." Misty guessed. "Yes. Sara is the only one who is two Poke'mon. Half Goldeen and half Vaporeon. She only can turn into a Vaporeon even if she is half and half." Emerald explained. Pikachu woke up and leaped onto Ash's shoulder. Mewgirl giggled. "Your Pikachu's funny!" she said. "Pika?" "Why'd you bring us here?" asked Brock. "Because you are in danger. Mewthree wants to destroy you. Ghost failed and now he is after you himself." Ruby told them as she pawed the ground with her hoof. "Why? Why dose Mewthree want us?" asked Ash. "Mewtwo must have erased your memories. You, Mewtwo and Mew, the real Mew, stopped Mewthree from his plan. You all thought you destroyed him but didn't. He got stronger and made it his goal to destroy you." Icy said. "Great. Someone else trying to kill us." Ash mumbled. Suddenly, Growly's ears twitch. "I here something." she said. "Icy, check it out." Emerald ordered. Icy opened her wings and flew up onto a tree. She looked out and saw a huge pack of Scales that were coming there way. "Scales! A whole bunch too. There all coming this way! They must have our sent." Icy called out. "That's not good. Everyone, change!" Emerald said. Ice, water, fire and all other things surrounded all of them. When it disappeared, they were Poke'mon again. "Where are you going?" asked Gato. Persia answered harshly. They all left the cave together. Ash didn't want to be left out. He saw a strange hole in the cave to look out. It was a window. In a cave? And it was strange. It had glass. He went over and looked out at the battle seen. Misty, Brock and Gato looked over his shoulder with him. The battle was not a Poke'mon battle. It was plan war. The Scales were everywhere at once. Ruby reared up and pawed the air wildly. Some Scales leaped at her and others back away. She kicked the ones hard that had leaped at her. Emerald sent Dragon Rage attacks at them and also hit some with her body. Persia scratched, bit, slashed and clawed wildly at the attacking Scales. Mewgirl stayed in the air floating. Some Scales would leap at her but she would easily knock them away with a psychic blast. Pichu would shock them with powerful lightning bolts that made Pikachu watch in awe. Icy would stay in the air and shot blast of ice at the Scales. Sometime she would call out something to the others as in, 'Watch out!' and 'He's behind you!'. Growly shot blast after blast of flames and burned the Scales good. They would run off in a yelp. Sara used water and ice as well. Sometime she would call her friends away and use her Surf attack. A lot of Scales would be taken down after that. Ember was teamed with Growly her flames would match Growly. It was powerful with the two flame streams. Tigress was graceful and easy on her feet. She would use her Torpedo attack often and sometimes use Mega Torpedo when she was surrounded. Suddenly, a Scale leaped and bit down hard on Persia's front leg. She growled in pain and slashed its face with her good paw. Another Scale attacked her from behind and brought Persia down. Ember saw this and shot blazing flames quickly at the Scales. Persia got up and continued to fight. Ember stayed by her side to help her. A lot of bite's were placed on everyone of the ten Poke'mon people. Finally, Misty couldn't stand to watch them fight. She turned away with Gato on her shoulder. "Are you okay?" Gato asked, concerned. "Yeah. I just can't see how they fight like that." Misty whispered. Gato couldn't either. Misty's friends noticed her and turned away with her. "Can't stand it, huh?" asked Ash. Misty nodded. "It is pretty bad." Ash agreed. Misty went over and looked into the crystal clear pool. Gato left her shoulder and Pikachu left his trainer. They both went over to Brock. He looked back out the window. "But as humans, there beautiful. It's like heaven." Brock sighed. Gato rolled her eyes and Pikachu sighed. "It's sad really. Every person you like and meet, doesn't like you." Gato said. Brock burst into tears. (You know, those cartoon waterfall tears.) Gato and Pikachu covered there ears. "Come down Brock! Please don't drowned us!" Gato cried. Misty looked over at Brock and shook her head. "That is just sad." she sighed. Ash came up next to her "Sad as in which way?" he asked. "Pathetic sad." Misty confirmed. She looked back into the pool. "You know, its funny." Ash suddenly said. Misty looked up at him. "What?" she asked. "Well, these ten kids can turn into Poke'mon and are Poke'mon, sort of. They fight Mewthree, a really powerful Poke'mon. How can so regular Poke'mon bet Mewthree?" asked Ash. "Good point. But you have to remember, they work together as team. Friends forever sort of thing." "True." came a voice. They both turned around to see Tigress. "Why aren't you fighting?" asked Ash. Tigress answered with a snort. "You still fight, but you don't want to?" asked Misty. Tigress said. "Why don't you ask him?" Ash said. He tossed a Pokeball and Tiger appeared. He looked at Tigress. She gasped. "Yup. Were good friends." Ash said. "Uh, can I help you?" asked Tiger to Tigress. she asked excitedly. "Oh yeah. You and your friends to stop Mewthree. I remember." Tiger said. "You mean you knew about this?" asked Misty. "Sort of. It's a long story. See, I was honored by a very strong female Wolflithe. She named her daughter Tigress after me. She hoped her daughter would be like me. She was killed and I my pack raised Tigress. I was captured and Tigress was left alone. She was a person who was half Poke'mon and half person because so was her mom." Tiger explained. "I guess it makes since." Ash shrugged. Suddenly, there was a crash from near that window They all looked over to see Brock, Gato and Pikachu backing away. A Scale had jumped though and found them. He was a big one and the leader. He saw Ash and his friends and snarled. "Master Mewthree knew you'd be here. I will have the pleasure of destroying you myself!" the Scale growled. He leaped at Ash but was taken down my Tiger. He bit hard into the Scales leg. Scale shook him off but was hurt. Tigress growled and lunched her Torpedo attack. It hit Scale hard and good. He didn't leave yet. Emerald and the others were in. sighed Persia. Ruby reared up and neighed. Scale saw the others but still didn't leave. Pichu leaped and shocked him better than Tigress did. Scale was on the ground. Emerald hissed. They all changed and stood as there human. "Get out of here Poison!" Growly growled. "Before we make you!" Sara said. "You will never. I know who your hiding and when I report to Mewthree, you'll all go down!" he snarled. "Not while were here. Mewgirl? If you would." Emerald said. Mewgirl pointed her hands forward and a pink beam was shot out. It hit Poison and when it disappeared, Poison was no where. Ash then noticed that Sara now had human legs and a white skirt that went past her knees a little on. Sara saw Ash looking. "When I'm on land, I have human legs." she explained. Ash nodded. "What happened to him? Poison I mean." asked Brock. "Sent him back to Mewthree. He'll tell him of course." Mewgirl said. "You are in great danger. You must help us destroy Mewthree." Ruby said. "Us?! How?" cried Gato. "Somehow." was all Emerald answered. "Till then, get some sleep. Tomorrow we go agasined Mewthree." Ember said. They all found there stop to sleep. Icy was on top of a tree, Sara and Emerald were in the water, Pichu, Ruby, Growly, Persia, and Ember went to sleep under Icy's tree, Mewgirl slept in a cloud that was rainbow above the crystal pool and Tigress made herself a bed out of grass near Ash. They all slept as Poke'mon, Ash noticed. Tiger and Pikachu were fast asleep near Ash and Misty and Brock were asleep in there own grass beds near Ash. Ash couldn't help but think, did they even stand a chance agasined Mewthree? Next time: Ash woke up in a strange place. It was like being surrounded in white light. His friends were no where to be seen. He walked forward a little only to see a white dragon. It wasn't a Poke'mon. It was a strange dragon, if you could call it that. It had a beak like a birds and pink, feathered wings. It's tail was a birds tail. It was long and flowing. Like an Articuno's tail. She had three diamond shaped feathers on her head and blue eyes. It had a pink spin that ran from the tip of its tail to the top of its head. It wasn't that big, but still a good size. Maybe a foot taller than a Charizard. Ash wondered if it could breath fire. He slowly approached the dragon. "Where am I?" he asked. The dragon smiled. Not warmly, but with sadness. "I'm sorry Ash. You’re dead." she answered.
