assuming that they made a wrong turn. Charmander
thing corrected.

Episode 1 : To Tokyo and back

After days of travel, Ash, Brock, Misty and Pikachu reached the next
city, after many twists and turns. In fact, they just came from the
Pokemon League Testing Facility where Ash tried out for a League Badge
and split up with a photographer named Snap. We rejoin our heroes
wandering in a deep forest, somewhere a ways away towards civilization,
and not even close to Cinnibar Island. Unbeknownst to them, upon
reaching the sea, they jumped on the wrong boat, headed to, well, who
knows where?

<><><>

Misty sighed in exasperation, "We're lost again Ash! You're just too
stubborn to admit it!"

"I'm not! I have a great sense of direction!"

Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. Age of about 10 years and the sense of a
rock. He is easily distinguishable by a shock of spiky black hair, a
blue and white jacket, green gloves, a official Pokemon League hat and a 
somewhat arrogant air. He also carries a backpack.

Behind him walked a girl, about 12 years old, bright red hair in a off
side ponytail. She wore a loose yellow T-shirt that just doesn't reach
her middle, cut off Jean shorts, suspenders and a small red bag. Her
name is Misty.

To the side walked a older teenager, about 16 years old, though his
maturity could lower his age to about thirteen years old, spiky brown
hair, squinty eyes, a large green backpack, brown and green clothes on
his back. Atop the backpack sat a small animal, yellow with brown
stripes on its back. Those two were Brock, the former leader of the
Pewter City Gym, and Pikachu, Ash's first Pokemon.

Right now, the two younger teens were currently yelling at each other in
a heated argument. Suddenly, the forest cleared and a huge city sat
displayed in front of it. Brock, the more sensible one, checked his map.

Misty noticed this and whistled, "It's so big!"

Ash nodded. "Yeah. I'll bet there's a great place to catch some wild
Pokemon! I'll catch every species I find!"

"Careful Ash, you might capture a tamed Pokemon by mistake," Misty said.
"A city this big could have quite a few tamed Pokemon here. Wonder what
city this is?" She looked around in a 360 degree spin and came face to
face with a huge sign. "Welcome to Tokyo, Nerima District. Home of the
Kuno and Mendo families. Hmmm, sounds good!"

"Strange, this city doesn't seem to be on any map," Brock said out loud,
flipping the map upside down and in all directions.

Ash turned around, "Huh? What do you mean Brock?"

"I can't find it anywhere on the map. I'm hazarding to guess that we
walked off the known world!"

Ash and Misty took on a nervous twitch, "The known world?!" Misty
screamed with a huge head, frightening the bejessus out of the hapless
trio. "What are we gonna do?! We must of took the wrong ship!!!"

"Misty calm down! This city must have a Pokemon Center around here. They
'll tell you where we are." Ash heaved a great sigh as the Water Pokemon
Trainer calmed to a relatively normal state. "Besides, isn't that a old
map Brock?"

Brock nodded. "I admit this is a old map so I could be missing a few
cities on here. I would suppose that this city grew really fast over the
last decade."

"Wow! A new city! There has got to be more Pokemon here than we know
about! Come on!"

Ash dashed down the road, Misty, Brock and Pikachu running after them.

<><><>

"Hmm, this is a new city," James said, while peering through the
glasses. "It was a good idea to follow the brats when they took that
boat."

"I know. It's not on any maps." Jessie agreed, "We must be the first
ones to find it!"

"And there must be hundreds of Pokemon in the place! Lets snatch them!"
Meowth agreed.

"Lets do it! If the boss is given a lot more new species of Pokemon,
then we'll be promoted!"

"To Colonel!" James yelled, ecstatic.

"No! To the head of the Team Rocket!" Jessie yelled.

"To the highest rank of the world!!!"

"MEOWTH!!!" As the human members of Team Rocket sat in shock from the
scratches in their face, Meowth settled down and said, "shut up you two!
Sometimes you two are so stupid!"

"My...face!" Jessie stuttered.

"I'm injured!" James whined.

They towered over Meowth in Giant Flaming Heads of Doom as they wound up
and booted the cat Pokemon into the atmosphere with a twin cry of
"MEOWTH NO BAKAAA!!"

<><><>

"There's no Pokemon Center anywhere!" Ash complained.  "What kind of
city doesn't have a Pokemon Center?"

"I know! The only hospitals are for humans!" agreed Misty.

"Pika pika."

Ash, Brock and Misty sat down at a bench in front of the restaurant
district. The young Pokemon trainer groaned and slouched in his wooden
chair. His stomach grumbled. "I'm hungry," he said to the air.

"We all are. Hey, lets go and eat there," Brock said, pointing at the
restaurant in front of them. It had a Asian flare with some unknown
characters on the front. But in a Japanese sign it said, NEKOHANTEN.

"Nekohanten?," Misty said while looking at the sign, "What's that?"

"Its the word for Cat." Brock supplied. "I could assume that it's run by
another race of people!"

<><><>

"Welcome to Nekohanten. I take order, yes?" Shampoo, Chinese Amazon at
birth and almost a fiancee of a certain reluctant suitor, found herself
with three newcomers to Nerima. The Brown haired one seemed slightly
dazed when he looked at her.

Ash nodded, "What do you serve here?"

"Ramen. Is house specialty." Shampoo handed them some menus.

Misty looked through it. "Hmm.. I'll have the beef Ramen."

"Make mine a double beef." Brock put in.

"Special."

"Pika!" Pikachu said, pointing at the fruit salad in the dessert
choices.

"Ayia. I go get order. You wait, yes?" With that, Shampoo bounded into
the kitchen. There, Cologne, super aged matriarch of the Village waited
for them.

"Child, who are those new people?" she asked in a steady voice.

"Shampoo not know great-grandmother. They come in, half starving. Is at
least able to pay. Why ask?"

Cologne looked out of the kitchen. "Because that little animal with them
has a incredible battle aura. Keep an eye on them
granddaughter."

"Hai."

Soon, Shampoo came out with three bowls of steaming Ramen and a fruit
bowl for Pikachu. Brock thanked her and gave a few coins.

Ash slurped up his special. "This is really good," he said between
bites.

"Very good," Brock said, "I'd like to get the recipe if possible."

"Beats canned food," Misty put in, taking a bite of noodles.

"Pika Pi!"

Cologne pogoed into the room and said, "Who are you people?"

They looked at her and screamed in fright. "AHHHH! IT'S A MONSTER!!!"

Pikachu did more. "PIIIIIIIIKKKKAAAAAAACCCCCHUUUUUU!"

Cologne barely dodged the bolt of electricity from the frightened
rodent. "Calm down," she said, "I'm not a monster."

Ash and the others settled down and let Cologne pull up a chair. "I'm
the owner of the Nekohanten. Tell me child, what are you three doing in
Nerima?"

"We need some place to stay. There's no Pokemon Center here for free
lodging." Brock said. "We need some lodging. Do you know where we can
get some?"

Cologne thought for a second. "If you go to this address, you will find
a large Dojo where you will probably be able
to get some room for a few nights. Be warned that the residents are
somewhat strange."

"Oh, well thanks for the time, Mrs....?"

"Cologne. Cologne of the Chinese Village of Amazons."  She pogoed into
the kitchen, leaving the others behind.

As Cologne prepared another round of food for the Trainers, a small
smile grew over her aged face. "Finally. I thought this day would never
come. Oak, you sneaky little bugger."

The Matriarch of the Chinese Amazons hummed to herself happily as she
finished cooking for the Trainers.

<><><>

Ash stretched as they left the restaurant, full and content. "Wow, what
a meal!" He then stopped and the others crashed into his back.

Misty picked herself up off the ground and yelled, "What're you doing
Ash!?"

"Look at that! It's a new species of Pokemon!"

<><><>

Ryoga was not having a good day. Being changed into his pig form by that
blasted old washer woman, trying to find Akane or Ranma for different
reasons with no success, and now, he was upset enough to toss off a Shi
Shi Hokodan.

Just then, a young boy and two others came into view. The black haired
boy in the front stopped and said something. Then he removed a flat red
device from his pocket and pointed it at him.

Ryoga wondered what the heck was going on.

<><><>

<Unknown Pokemon. This Pokemon is not registered with the scientific
research committee.> Dextor replied in its flat male voice.

"WOW! A Unknown Pokemon! This must be what Bill was talking about!" Ash
removed a ball from his belt and expanded it to full size. "I'll catch
it!"

Ryoga heard this and immediately went on alert, lashing out with a hoof.
Ash jumped back as the trotter dug its hoof into the cement. Suddenly,
the cement buckled and it exploded with a hail of shrapnel. Ash cried
out and stumbled onto the street.

"It's got to be a powerful Pokemon to do that!" Misty yelled in fright.
"Ash, do something!"

"Right! Pikachu, go!"

"Pika!!!" The small furry animal ran out and faced the angry P-Chan.
P-Chan jumped up and delivered a side kick at Pikachu.
Pikachu jumped back in a defensive position. "Pikachu, Swift attack!"

Pikachu nodded and opened its mouth, sending star shaped projectiles at
the porker. P-Chan blocked the projectiles and
lashed out with a flurry of Pig-fu attacks. Pikachu leapt high into the
air and P-chan followed. "Pikachu, quick attack!"

"PIKA!" Pikachu dove at P-Chan, knocking it to the ground. P-Chan picked
Pikachu off and faced it. Ryoga was feeling depressed. And when he feels
depressed, bad things happen.

With a squeal of anger, Ryoga focused the growing ball of energy between
his hands. His battle aura grew until he was shining like a mini star.
With a piggish squeal which roughly translated into "Shi Shi Hokodan,"
he launched the attack at Pikachu. The mouse had no time to dodge as he
was blasted into the soft sands around the construction area.

Ash ran over and checked Pikachu. "Are you feeling all right Pikachu?"

Pikachu nodded and jumped up, ready to fight. Ryoga developed a
sweatdrop and a nervous twitch. No one had stood up against the Shi Shi
Hokodan save for Ranma. This was not good.

"Pikachu, THUNDERSHOCK!!!"

"PiiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaCCCCCHHHHHHHUUUUUUU!"

Ryoga's last thoughts before the bolt of electricity hit were, "Damn, if
I weren't a pig, this would have been over a long
time ago."

When the electric discharge died down, Ryoga fainted, charred and
battered. Ash grabbed the Poke Ball and yelled, "Poke ball, GO!" He
threw it at P-Chan and it captured the little porcine in its grasp.
P-Chan was too tired to fight so the ball held him.

Ash picked it up and yelled, "All right!!! I got a new species!!!"

Brock took the Poke ball and looked at it. "What should we call this
one?"

"How about Porine?" Misty said.

"Tokei Tokei!" The little egg Pokemon nodded.

<><><>

"Here's the place. Tendo Dojo, Musabusu Katoko Ryu." Brock blinked,
"Anything goes martial arts? I never through that people still study the
arts anymore save for Pokemon."

"Who cares about the name, lets see if anyone's in." Misty knocked on
the door. Soon, a young woman, about 19 years old
answered the door. Brock went bye bye.

"Yes?"

"Hi, we were told that we could get lodging here," Ash started, "We've
been traveling for a long time and we need some rest."

"Ara...then come in. Pardon the mess."

There was a mess all right. It looked like there was a major struggle
behind the door. Windows were shattered, holes in the wall, and other
important items were destroyed. It may look like it was ransacked but it
was just normal for the Tendo Dojo.

"Wow, what happened here?" Misty asked, curious.

"Some of Ranma's friends came over to visit. They tend to be a little
destructive." She acted like it was the norm. And justly so.

A scream of "RANMA NO BAKA!" echoed over the district and a human
missile went flying into the stratosphere through the roof. Ash twitched
nervously.

"What was that?!" he said.

"Oh dear, Akane must have gotten mad at Ranma and punched him through
the roof."

"Punched him through the roof?!" Misty said in disbelief. "Who could
punch someone through the roof?!"

To answer that, a steaming mad young girl, about 16 years old stormed
down the stairs and into the living room. Ash noted that she was
glowing. Brock scratched his head, "I guess that explains it."

"Pika Pi."

<><><>

"Since you're all staying under my roof, there will be some rules. One,
no willful destruction of the Dojo. Two, you have to keep the
freeloading to a minimum. Three, you all have to go to school."

Misty blinked. "Mr. Tendo, I don't mean to pry but we all graduated
first year high school. That's the minimum academic requirements to
become Pokemon trainers."

Akane looked up, "You're juniors? But you're all so young!"

"I know. But It's required. Brock was the leader of the Pewter City Gym.
I was the leader of the Cerulean City gym. Ash is just a Pokemon
trainer." Misty took a sip of her tea, "this tea is really good."

"Thank you," Kasumi beamed.

Just then, a weary female Ranma stumbled into the room. "Hey, I'm back."

Ash looked at her. "Is this Ranma? I thought Ranma was a male."

"I AM A MALE!!!" Ranma yelled. Ash winced from the pounding in his ears.

"Sheesh, she's pretty sensitive about her sexuality," Misty said,
holding her head. Pikachu nodded.

<><><>

Peace reigned in the Tendo Dojo. Unfortunately, by the will of this
certain writer, things wouldn't last.

"NIHAO!!!" Shampoo exploded through the wall and promptly glomped a
hapless female Ranma, inciting lip lock. Brock turned green.

"Oh man, I think I'm gonna be sick," he said, rushing towards the
washroom. Misty, on the other hand was more steady.

"What'd you think you're doing with that girl?!" she yelled, feeling
sick herself.

Shampoo broke the kiss. "Is red head from Nekohanten. You try to take
Aerin? Shampoo think not!" She drew her bonbouri and waited for Misty to
draw a weapon.

The Gym Leader's eyes narrowed. "You want a Pokemon battle? Then you got
it!!!" She expanded a ball. "I choose, STARMIE!"

With a purr, the multipointed star appeared, spinning like a discus.
Shampoo gasped and dodged out of the way. Misty yelled, "STARMIE, TACKLE
HER!"

Shampoo felt the animal slam into her back. She shrieked while flying
into the wall, making a huge crater. Misty grinned and flashed a V.
"Victory!!"

Ranma stared at her, worriedly. "Um, I don't mean to tell you the bad
news now but since you defeated Shampoo then you're targeted for death."

Misty stopped abruptly in her victory dance. "WHAT?!" she screamed.

Ranma nodded. "I was targeted for death by her myself."

She stared at Ranma-chan. "Then how'd you escape her? You don't look
like the type to be...queer."

Ranma growled and splashed his tea atop his head, immediately reverting
back to his male form. Misty stared at him in shock. Nabiki came up
behind her and waved her hand in front of the young Pokemon Leader's
face. "Hmmm, standard reaction."

Misty blinked and fainted.

<><><>

"Ranma? Have you seen P-Chan? He was here this morning."

Ranma snorted, "Who cares about that violent Pig? It causes nothing but
trouble!"

Akane growled and brought the mallet to bear atop Ranma's head. "If you
didn't tease him all this time, we wouldn't be loosing him all the
 time."

Ash looked up. "What's a P-Chan?"

"Little black animal, wears a spotted bandanna and a very irate temper,"
Ranma answered. Akane slammed the mallet back on his head. Ash blinked.

"Uh oh."

Akane looked at him sharply. "What do you mean, UH OH?!"

Ash laughed nervously as he pulled out a Poke ball and handed it to her.
"I believe this is yours?"

Akane gasped and started to wrench the ball open. "P-CHAN! How do you
get him out of here?" she demanded.

Ash expanded it and tapped the top. P-Chan sprang out with a flare of
light into Akane's arms. Akane immediately cuddled the nervously
twitching pig. She glared at him. "You trapped P-Chan in THIS TINY BALL
FOR THE WHOLE DAY?!" By now, Akane was blazing with fire in a holy fit
of dark rage. Ash backed away. "I thought it was a unknown Pokemon!"

She grasped a extra large mallet in her hands and started to swing
wildly. Ash jumped back and ran away, Akane after him. When they dashed
out of sight, Akane's screams of rage faded into the night air, Misty
came along, chased by a howling Shampoo swinging a huge sword. Misty
rode Starmie, pushing the water Pokemon to the maximum speed.

Ranma shrugged as he returned to reading his Manga. Brock ate some food
as Shampoo and Misty came back the other way, Shampoo screaming bloody
murder while swinging a nagenta this time.

Brock looked up from his food. "Is it always like this?" he asked.

"Yup."

Brock shrugged and returned to eating.

The sound of a mallet hitting hard skull resounded over the Nerima
skyline.

Closing Credits and Theme : The Time Has Come

I close my eyes
And I can see
The day we met
(A scene of Ash picking up a Pokeball and Pikachu escaping from its 
inside. He picks up Pikachu and he zaps him.)

Just one moment and I knew
You're my best friend
'Do anything
For you
(A scene of Ash meeting Misty, Brock throwing a pokeball, and Ash
looking upwards, the camera panning backwards, into the sky.)

We've gone so far
And done so much
And I feel
Like we've always been together
(Scenes of Ash running along a beach, Misty, Brock and Pikachu trailing
along in the setting sunlight. A still photo of Ranma sitting atop a
cliff, that fades from brown and white tones to a full color picture,
his pigtail swinging in the wind. A constellation draws itself out on
the sky, Sagittarius the Archer. A shooting star arcs across the sky.)

Right by my side
Through thick and thin
You're the part of my life
I'll always remember
(A shot of Pikachu waving to the sky, his eyes glistening with tears,
Pidgeotto carrying Ryoga away. A shot of Ash's shadowed face, a stream
of tears dripping from his eyes. Ranma gathering Akane in his arms,
Ukyou wrapping a consolidating arm about Brock's shoulder. Ash sitting
down in the grass, Misty leaning on his shoulder, his jacket wrapped
about her shoulders.)

The time has come,
It's for the best I know it
Who could have guessed that you and I...
(Ash's face, haloed in a corona of light, Misty holding onto his 
fingertips. He smiles at her, as the light brightens to a blinding view 
and she collapses on the ground, sobbing.)

Somehow, someday,
We'd have to say goodbye
Somehow today...
...we have to say goodbye.
(Fade out.)

Authors notes

This is set after Garden of Bulbasaur. It extends the wanderings of the
Pokemon group. True it deviated from the original idea but more "Unknown
Pokemon" Will be caught.

Revision notes July 22 1999(Shaun Garin): Changed the timeline. This is
a slight deviation from the Original Pokemon series, due to the fact that 
they take the wrong boat and end up in Japan. I am assuming that Pokemon
occurs on Pokemon Island, which I had conveniently made as Okinawa. To
the guy who pointed out my little mistake with the Charmander thing, it
will be changed today. Thanks.

Next Time, They go to school, encounter Tatewaki Kuno and Misty gains a
unwanted suitor. Also, the capture of Farfight'ed and Siamese the
Pokemon!!! See you there!
