Tracey's Quest: The Kanto Pokemon Federation


Chapter 40

Catching Up

It was an early Sunday morning as the Orange Islands lay quiet, asleep. Valencia Island, usually loud and roudy, was asleep. The houses all lay quiet, the inhabitants not expecting anyone to knock on their door. A shady figure walked through the empty streets of the island, looking from door to door. He finally came upon the usually busy shopping center, The Venetian. The once loud shopping center was likewise quiet. He looked up, and saw the two estates of Alicia Ivy and Drew Sketchit. He chuckled, and started walking up.

Proffesor Ivy
Proffesor Ivy was asleep in her large bedroom. The windows were closed, and she was in her white nightgown. Wailmer, out of its Dive Ball, was out, sleeping. It soon opened its eyes, and looked around. Light was coming in from the windows, and it slowly got up. Suddenly, the tired Pokemon slumped back and fell asleep again. Ivy and Wailmer were asleep again, but it was impossible for her to notice the shady figure watching up the hill.

The Sketchits

Both Drew and Andrea were asleep. Their huge room was quiet, as Smeargle and Miltank were both asleep by their masters. Smeargle had gone straight, and they Smeargle and Miltank were now a couple.
A lot had happened in five months. It had been five months since Tracey had returned from the Orange League, and his Pokemon were still the same. Tracey was not asleep. He was out in the backyard, training his Pokemon.
Tracey looked grown. He had shaved a lot over the past months, he was now, after all, 17. He wore the same clothes, and his voice had gotten fairly deeper. Seadra was the same. Over the past few months, it had gotten quite hyper, and loved swimming in the Sketchit pool.
Charmeleon was more vibrant then ever. It liked to run around, work out, and even talk to Tracey about things. Seadra and Charmeleon were much stronger and much more friendlier as well.
Voltorb was cool as well. Tracey was surprised that it had not evolved yet, but he didn't know wether he should even evolve Voltorb. He hardly used it, but he concetrated on his other Pokemon more. Seadra and Charmeleon felt bad for Voltorb, as it was being neglected, even though Tracey still loved it.
Believe it or not, the last time Tracey used his Voltorb was at the Orange Cup. It was usually in its Pokeball.
Seadra was in the pool, doing laps. Charmeleon was lifting weights, at the same time talking to Voltorb, who was rolling around the ground.

Tracey was staring at the ground, when he saw a dark, shady figure walk up to Tracey. Tracey was about to scream, when the dark figure covered his mouth. What would happen?

Jessie and James

Jessie, James, and Meowth were in their Feebas sub. Jessie and James were on the couch, while Meowth was drinking a new orange Pina Colada. Meowth had grown. Jessie had trained it, and it now learned some cool new moves, like Faint Attack and Pay Day.
Beautifly and Dustox were out, fluttering around. They too, had grown. They had both won some battles, and the Pokemon were getting to be very experienced, it made their masters very proud.
Suddenly, the video phone rang. Jessie ran and picked it up, as James and Meowth soon followed.

"Jessica, James? This is Giovanni, your master.", said a destructive seeming voice from the other side of the screen. A face came into view. The face was worn. It had brown hair, and he had eyes of black and hazel descent. This man was Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket.

"Master Giovanni, what an honor!", bowed Jessie. James followed suit, as did Meowth, Beautifly, and Dustox.

"I heard that you did not complete Operation Faberge, which was to steal the Tsar's Faberge Eggs from Valencia in the Orange Isles.", said Giovanni, in a disgusted tone.

"We are in the Orange Isles.", said Meowth, with a raspy tone.

"Yes, but my radar tells me that you are heading away from Valencia, toward the Pallet Sea, which is nearing you to the Kanto region. The Kanto region does not have a tsar. The capital of Kanto is Saffron City, and Kanto has a president, not a tsar.", said Giovanni, smartly.

"We can turn back, sir...", said Jessie, but Giovanni inturrupted her. "Forget it. I will station you in Kanto.", said Giovanni, and hung up.

Jessie looked at James and chuckled.

"No more of that flashy little twerp! He will not stop our plans any longer!", said Jessie, laughing.

The Feebas Sub sped on towards Pallet Town.

[RJdude]

Ah, the sequel. Looks like Tracy's going to Kanto, sounds good. Poor Voltorb, it deserves more attenton. Oh well. I wonder who that shadowy figure is.

[DannyBoy]

This is going to be a great sequal. I can tell already with the cliff hanger of the shadowy figure! I think voltorb is going to get the attention it desrves in this league! Keep it up!

[pokemonrule13]

Hey, I printed your other story for when I went on vacation and I finally finished it but it seems you have a lot more and your starting another part to it. So I got lots to catch up to! But I read this and it sounds like a good start saying what everyone is doing. I like your writing and I think this will be a great addition to your story.

[Hanada Tattsu]

RJDude: Thanks for reading! You'll find out in Chapter 41 who the mysterious shadowy figure is.

IloveX-Tina: Thanks! Yeah, Voltorb will battle very much in this league, I assure you.

pokemonrule13: Thanks for reading! I hope you read future chapters, and I hope you like it! :)


The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 41

Heading Off Again

The shadowy figure held Tracey's mouth for about twelve seconds, and then let him go, throwing him on the floor. Tracey fell in the rosebush, and got poked. Blood oozed out of his arm. Seadra washed it out with a Water Gun, but Tracey got out before it could finish. Charmeleon was angry, Voltorb was tense, and Seadra was horrified.

Tracey stood up, wiping his nose. "What in bloody hell is wrong with you?", yelled Tracey, yelling.
Instead of doing what Tracey thpught he would do, the man took his black hood of and started doing a dance.
Tracey and his Pokemon thought this guy was mad.

"Are you the Tracey Sketchit? Who won the Orange League?", said the man, who had long white hair and sunglasses. Tracey was officially freaked out by this guy.

"Oh, sorry, I get a little overeactive!", chuckled the man.

"And should we introduce ourselves?", asked a sarcastic Tracey, rolling his eyes.

"Oh, forgive me. I am Charles Goodshow, the chariman of the Kanto League. My older brother is the president of Kanto, George Goodshow.", said Charles, chuckling.

"Oh really? Well, I'm Tracey--", said Tracey, but Charles interrupted him.

"I know all about you! I had dinner with the tsar last week and he told me all about how your late brother--", began Charles, but Tracey interrupted him.

"Please don't remind me, Sir Goodshow.", said Tracey, turning away. Seadra and Voltorb felt sympathy, but Charmeleon went back to lifting weights.

"Tracey, how would you like to compete in the Kanto League?", asked Charles, getting straight to the point.

Tracey looked up.

"I've already talked to two other trainers, May and Misty, who are going. Five other trainers from Tangelo Island will be competing.", said Charles.

Tracey had to go. May and Misty were of equal status to him, if not inferior, so if he wanted to be a trainer then he had to go. But he then realized that Kanto was a long ways from home. He would be walking. Most of Kanto was landmass. There were sea routes, and when there were sea routes, Smeargle could teleport The Valencia over. However, the rest was rocky terrain mostly.

Tracey had to go, he had to. His Pokemon were not fully evolved, and he needed to battle harder and more formidable opponents. His Pokemon would not be trained the way he wanted to be if he stayed for the rest of his life here on Valencia.

Suddenly, Andrea and Drew came out.

"Tracey, who is that?", asked Andrea, as Drew followed suit. Smeargle and Miltank, holding hands, followed.

Tracey introduced Charles and his parents, and then asked the question.

"Mr. Goodshow, I will join. Mom, Dad, can I go to Kanto?"

Andrea and Drew looked at each other and at Tracey. Kanto was like 500 miles away. Tracey would have to cross the Pallet Sea on his ship.

At Valencia, his Charmeleon had learned some psychic attacks. It knew Teleport, so once reaching Pallet, Tracey could teleport the ship over using Charmeleon. His Pokemon were sure gifted.

"Yes, Tracey. You can join.", said Drew.

Upon this, Tracey cheered. As did Seadra, Voltorb, and Charmeleon.

Hearing the racket, Proffesor Ivy came in, Wailmer by her side. Everyone told Alicia about Tracey, and she was happy. She was glad Tracey was continuing his journey.

At dawn, after visiting, Goodshow left, and Tracey packed his bags. Tommorow, he would head east from Valencia via the Pallet Sea to Pallet Town, where Charmeleon would teleport the ship over.

Tracey packed a sleeping bag, some clothes and food. He took books and a map of Kanto.

He went to his room at about nine. His Pokemon were curled up in front of his bed, it was the last time he would be in a bed of some sorts for a long time.

Within four minutes he was asleep.

One of his hardest adventures was about to occur...

[pokemonrule13]

Wow, I just posted and then you post a new chapter! That was really great. I thought the person was team rocket or something but the idea of the man was really great. Charmeleon is funny ignoring them all and going back to lifting wights:P . Tha was really great of seadra and voltorb going to his side when he fell. That shows love towards Tracy and I bet he apprciated it. The kanto league is going to be very intresting. Are you going to have the same gyms or are you going to add some into it. Cause Misty is the water one unless you are going to have her sisters.

[PikachuRocks]

I've read the whole first one and this looks promising I will continue to read as a silent reader and I'm hoping Voltorb will evolve.Oh and are the two dragons(Seadra and Charmeleon) just luck or something more ?

[mr_pikachu]

Sorry, I lost track of your last fic when I left town for a week, and I still haven't caught up! On that note, might I make a suggestion: It may be a good idea to slow down a bit for two reasons; you can improve the quality of your chapters even more, even if it's only in spelling and grammar, and you can allow other people to catch up. I, for one, have trouble getting myself to catch up with a fic that I've fallen behind on, especially if I feel the author could do a little bit more with it. That's just a suggestion, so feel free to dismiss it if you want.

Also, good news: I think I've finally figured out how to PM people! Woo hoo! (Sneaky little button got away from me... why do they make those things so darn small?)

Anyway, I'll try to keep up with this one, as well as finishing the original Tracey's Quest. Keep on writing, and I'll do my best to tag along!

[Dewgongtears]

Pretty cool, Sorry about not reading your story but I have been away from here. This is going to be a good sequel indeed. I hope you do good with it.

[DannyBoy]

Great chapter! I cant wait till Tracy gets into Kanto! Great length and description! IM glad voltorbs gona be in this a lot! Keep it uP!

[RJdude]

Good chapter. It looks like Tracey's heading off to Kanto... I wonder what Pokemon he'll catch.

[Dragon_Claw]

Good chapters, I hope it gets as good as the original story.

And I'm happy for Voltorb, getting more attention. It's not like Zapdos' own guardian is weak...

[SneaselReborned]

I hope you're going to expand a little on the fact that Voltorb has connections to Zapdos. Maybe even throw a little bit of Sheu in there, hehe.

Anyway, great fic. I've read the entire thing thusfar, and will continue reading!

Whoohooo! Time for Kanto!

[Hanada Tattsu]

pokemonrule13: Thanks for reading! XD, that was freaky, we posted at the same time. Also, some of the gym leaders are different, the Cerulean Gym in particular. You will be surprised who the gym leader will be...

PikachuRocks: Thanks for reading! Oh, Tracey's not a dragon trainer at all. He's just a regular trainer that trains any Pokemon he likes, I suppose.

mr_pikachu: Thanks! I'll take that into consideration, thanks for lettin' me know. I'm on brake now, so I'll have more time to write the chappies. Well, keep readin'!

DewgongTears: Oh, now problem! Keep reading, and I hope you like this chapter!

IloveX-Tina: Thanks for reading! Ya, Voltorb's gonna be popular in this.

RJDude: Thanks! He catches a new Pokemon in this chapter.

Dragon_Claw: Thanks! Well, Zapdos' guardian will get used a lot, I assure you. Keep readin'!

SneaselReborned: Thanks for reading! Sheu will appear here, that's the only spoiler I can give here. LOL, if you guys want spoilers, feel free to PM me or IM me.


The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 42

A Race Against Time

It was six o'clock in the morning. The sun rose over Valencia Island. The Taillow and Swellow awoke, and started fluttering over around the island. A Pelliper flew over the Kremlin, the castle of the tsar. Suddenly, a bullet fierced the Pelliper. It fell down onto the grass of the estate of the tsar.
The tsar Nicholas the II had shot the Pelipper. He laughed.

"Who said a young king is not suited for shooting falcons?", bragged the tsar, until his royal guard halted him.

"Sir, that is not a falcon. It is a pelican.", said the guard.

"Get it out of my sight.", said the tsar, as he went inside, disgusted, and the guard threw the dead Pelipper into the nearby ocean.

Meanwhile, a certain red truck belonging to Drew Sketchit zoomed down the road. Tracey, in the backseat, looked around Valencia Island. He was not only going to another island, he was going to another country for a very long time. His boat was in the back.

As soon as possible, Tracey reached the seaport. Drew and Tracey unloaded the ship and moored it in the ocean. Tracey took his luggage and waved to his father.

"Well, dad, say bye to mom, Smeargle, and Miltank!", waved Tracey.

Andrea, Smeargle, and Miltank were all asleep at the estate, it was after all, still early in the morning.

"Bye, son.", said Drew, as he hugged Tracey, patting him on the back. Drew sat in the truck and zoomed off. Tracey breathed in his last breath of sea air on Valencia and boarded The Valencia. He started the motor and zoomed off on the Articuno Sea.

It had been five months since he had last been here. Nothing had changed. He put his Pokeballs on the Pokeball holder, and put his luggage in the cabin.

Tracey went south on the Articuno Sea for five miles, then made an abrupt left. He was now on the Pallet Sea. This sea would take him to Pallet Town, and ultimately Kanto.

It would be about sixty miles to Kanto, so Tracey unpacked his luggage. He put his food in the fridge in the restroom and did nothing for a while. He felt life at sea was humdrum, he wasn't that addicted to adventure anymore, well he had matured a lot.

Suddenly, he got a phone call on his video phone.

He picked it up, and in a bored voice said, "Hello?"

It was May, his old rival.

"Like, hi, Tracey! Guess where we are? Me and Misty are traveling in our boat again! We're already in Viridian City!", said May.

"Viridian? Already? I'm still on the Pallet Sea.", said Tracey.

"Like, Tracey, this is so cool!", said May, pointing to her Pokemon. Marill was bopping around, it looked healthy and happy. Combusken looked very good, it was next to May, like her bodyguard. Mareep had evolved, surprisingly. It was now a Flaffy, ganing the ability to stand on its hind legs. Flaffy was very hyper, its pink wool was nicely combed. Flaffy was dancing around.

"Like, Proffesor Oak in Pallet Town gave me a Makuhita!", said May, pointing to a rather fat Makuhita behind her. It looked chubby, but muscular at the same time. It had a fake smile on.

"Hi, Tracey! What's up?", asked Misty, smiling as well.

"Hi, Misty!", said Tracey.

Misty moved and showed Tracey her Pokemon. Poliwhirl looked very muscular. It looked much stronger than before. Sunkern looked stronger, but Misty hadn't trained it much. Pichu had obviously evolved, it was now a Pikachu. Pikachu, who looked very strong, danced around on its big tail.

"Proffesor Oak is giving everybody figthing Pokemon today only! I got a Meditite! It's mine", said Misty. Meditite looked freaky, like an ape, but it looked strong. It had a frown on, and it was mediating.

"Meditite can teleport, so it teleported May's ship to her house!", said Misty.

"Cool.", said Tracey.

"Oh, we're heading for Pewter! There's a gym there!", said May, and hung up.

Tracey was behind. His rivals were already almost near Pewter, and he was still on the Pallet sea. And he needed a new Pokemon. Proffesor Oak had given May a Makuhita and Misty a Meditite, and Proffesor Oak would not give a new one tommorow, he had to hurry up. It was already two o'clock.

Jessie and James were in their Feebas sub, calm, happy that Tracey, to their knowledge, was still on Valencia.

Meowth was celebrating with pina coladas and cakes, and Beautifly and Dustox were flying around.

"Hey, there's a ship above us?", said Meowth, looking in the radar. He screamed.

"IT'S THE TWERP!"

Jessie stood up. "We have to finish his dirty self once and for all!"

The Feebas sub went up over the water in front of the ship.

"Oh no...", began Tracey.

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!", said Jessie.

"I'm James, she's Jessie, and this is Meowth!", said James.

"Meowth, that's right!", said Meowth, as Beautifly and Dustox fluttered over.

"We are being stationed in Kanto, go away!", said James.

"Well, guess what! I'm going to Kanto!", said Tracey in an annoyed tone.

Jessie and James were silent. Running away just made them collide into their worst dream.

"Guys, I don't have time for you, move over!", said Tracey.

"Not without a battle!", said Jessie, but Tracey didn't have time for games.

"Go, Seadra, Charmeleon!", said Tracey, and Seadra and Charmeleon came out onto the foldable battle arena that the sub contained. Seadra and Charmeleon came out, both looking stronger than ever. Once again Tracey abandoned Voltorb.

"Go, Beautifly!", said Jessie, as Beautifly fluttered onto the arena.

"Get'm, Dustox!", said James, as Dustox flew fast.

"Both of you, Spore!", said Team Rocket, as Beautifly and Dustox made pollen and powdered it over the Pokemon. Seadra and Voltorb were in slumberland.

"Now, Psywave!", yelled they, as Beautifly and Dustox fired a psychic wave at the sleeping Pokemon, fainting them.

"Oh, what the ****", yelled Tracey, and drove into the sub. The Valencia suffered no damage, but the Feebas sub blew up, and Team Rocket chanted "Team Rocket is blasting off again!", as they flew away again, their Feebas sub destroyed.

It was already three. Tracey hurried toward Pallet and Kanto, not knowing what to expect.


To Be Continued...

[Dewgongtears]

Pretty cool chapter. Fighting pokemon huh I wonder what kind will he get...a Machop maybe? Good chapter.

[Dragon_Claw]

Good one, I like the originality, altough I'm not quite sure what happend with Team Rocket, it was confusing.

I think Mankey or Tyrogue...

[RJdude]

That's a nice new Pokemon he got this chapter, Hanada. lol. I'm betting it's Machop.

But good chapter. I now hate the tsar. I hate hunters.

[DannyBoy]

GReat chapter. It had really good length and description. I think Tracy will get a Machop. Pika and Flaffy evolved. Keep it up!

[Hanada Tattsu]

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

DewgongTears: Thanks! Well, Machop seems like a likely choice! You'll see...

Dragon_Claw: Oh, sorry. Basically, Tracey drove into the Feebas sub, ruining it! Keep readin'!

RJDude: LOL, sorry. I hate hunters too, but the tsar's not evil.

ILoveX-Tina: Thanks! A lot of people think it's gonna be Machop, heh.


Chapter 43

Heading Off Once Again

It was about 10:00 PM when Tracey, still on his boat The Valencia, saw Pallet Town on the distance on the Pallet Sea. It was windy, and Tracey was in his cabin. He was sitting on his bed, reading a book on the gym leaders of Kanto. Seadra, Voltorb, and Charmeleon were watching Pokemon. It was the episode where Ash rescues a Lapras and catches it. Tracey chuckled, as he read a joke in the book.
Suddenly, he saw something in the book. It was a tearoff map of the Kanto region. Tracey tore it out, and looked up at his wall. There was a map of the Orange Islands there, Tracey had forgotten to take it up. He reached up and took the map out, putting it in his bookshelf, on top of the books. He then put the Kanto region map up. He checked on the map, he seemed to be nearing Pallet Town.
Tracey got out of the cabin and went on deck onto his ship. Indeed, in the distance, he could see Pallet Town. Soon, thunder was heard. Rainclouds came up over the sky and soon it was pouring. Tracey went inside the cabin, and saw that he was nearing Pallet Town. He recalled his surprised Pokemon and turned the television off.
Soon, he reached Pallet Town. It was a pretty miserable town. There was about a 10 meter pier leading from the sea to the town square. There was a clean fountain in the middle, with Edelweiss flowers growing around it. There were three houses around, including about ten houses in the hills surrouding Pallet Town. There was one huge house with a light on in the top floor. Tracey read the sign. It read Proffesor Oak's Laboratory.

"Oh no, I hope I'm not too late!", said Tracey, as he ran through the pouring rain towards the laboratory. Embaressed, Tracey knocked on the door. He knocked about five times, until an elderly man opened the door. He had gray hair and had a kind face. He had auburn eyes and wore a white labcoat, kind of like Proffesor Ivy, except he was Ivy's ex-husband. This was Proffesor Samuel Oak. Next to him walked a small ruffian Pokemon, red in color. It had innocent eyes and said 'Corphish'. Tracey had read about Corphish, they were usually mischeavous. So Proffesor Oak had a Corphish as his Pokemon. Corphish looked up at Tracey.

"Um, hello, Proffesor Oak, I'm Tracey Sketchit. I'm from Valencia Island, Proffesor Ivy's my neighbor.", said Tracey.

"Oh, you're Tracey!", said Oak. Tracey nodded.

"You won the Orange League, didn't you! Well, let's get you signed up for the Indigo League then.", said Oak, as he invited Tracey in from the rain.

Oak had a nice, big house, but it wasn't modern. It was like a cottage. His laboratory was big, but Oak first led him into his living room. The fireplace was on. There, Tracey had a cup of tea with Oak. Seadra and Voltorb were by the fire, engaged in a coversation. Charmeleon was talking with Oak's Corphish, they had grown quite chummy.

"Ivy divorced me. She said that I wasn't the man she was looking for.", said Oak, finishing his tea. Tracey was bored, indeed, he was looking forward to getting his own fighting Pokemon.

"Oh, I almost forgot. Come with me.", said Oak, as Tracey followed Oak, leaving the Pokemon in the sitting room. They went into Oak's lab. Proffesor Oak had a huge lab. There were experiments anywhere, usually unfinished.

There were 10 slots on a table, Tracey presumabely thought that these were where the Pokeballs were that the Fighting Pokemon were chosen from. There was one slot left.

"Well, here, just show me your Pokedex, and you're all set for the league.", said Oak, his right hand open to show that he wanted the Pokedex.

"Oh, I don't have one...", said Tracey.

"Why? All the other trainers from Valencia had one.", said Oak, frowning.

"Well, I knew a lot about Pokemon, and Proffesor Ivy said I didn't need one. The others did.", said Tracey, and Oak nodded.

"Well, then you'll have to sign these.", said Oak, handing Tracey a stack of papers. Tracey rolled his eyes.

It was three o'clock in the morning when Tracey finished. Pallet Town as asleep, as were the Pokemon. The fire was out, Seadra and Corphish had exterminated it with Water Gun.

"Well, you're all set. Now, the only Fast Ball left is there, go choose it.", said Oak. Tracey walked over to the Fast Ball, the last fighting Pokemon left. He picked it up, and threw it on the ground.

"Ma Ma Chop!", said the Pokemon.

It was a Machop. It was muscular, and looked like it worked out a lot. It instantly punched Tracey in the stomach.

"OUCH!", yelled Tracey, as Oak chuckled. Machop then hugged Tracey. It was energetic.

"Don't worry about it Machop. I'm your new trainer, we'll win a lot of battles together!", said Tracey, as Machop smiled and hugged Tracey.

"Well, here's Machop, your newest starter, and its Fast Ball.", said Oak.

Seadra, Voltorb, and Charmeleon woke up, leaving Corphish asleep. They saw Machop. Machop instantly became chummy with them all. They engaged in deep conversation, and Tracey, Machop, and Tracey's Pokemon really liked each other.

"Well, Tracey, here you are. You have a Seadra, a Voltorb, a Charmeleon, and a Machop. You are now to head off to Pewter City, where there is a gym.", said Oak.

"Isn't there one in Viridian?", asked Tracey.

"That one is a limited gym, it opens twice a year.", said Oak.

Tracey waved to Proffesor Oak and Corphish and headed off toward Viridian City from Pallet Town. Suddenly he forgot. His boat was still parked.

"Charmeleon! Teleport the boat to our house!", said Tracey. Charmeleon glew purple and the boat was instantly back in Valencia.

Tracey walked on. Seadra was on his right shoulder. Voltorb was on his right. Charmeleon was walking on his right side, and Machop, his newest Pokemon, was walking on his left side. They head off...


To Be Continued...

[DannyBoy]

That was a good chapter and it was Machop! Ivy and Oak, you should do a divorce court with them. One thing, how does a voltorb stay on your shoulder? Cause its a ball shape. Its your fic. I thought it was funny with machop punhcing Tracy in the stomach, maybe its how he greets people. Keep it up!

[RJdude]

Good chapter. I thought he'd get Machop. I hope he uses it. Professor Oak seems a little old for Prof. Ivy, don't you think?

[Chris 2.1]

So, the Orange League is over, and now Tracey is heading to Kanto? Good good. The chapters are a relatively Ok length, but the last chapter was a lot of dialogue, although the start was chocoblock with that big paragraph!

Don't work yourself too hard, just keep things rolling a little slower, some people don't visit as often as me! @_@';;

So, Machop joins the roster? I'm surprised Trace only had three Pokemon to win beat the Orange Crew, but nevermind! Maybe He should evolve Char and Seadra and pretend to be Krystal!
-_-;;

Keep it up, this is looking good. I wonder who this Cerulean Leader is? Hmm...can't be Misty...*ponder*

[Hanada Tattsu]

The Kanto Pokemon Federation


ILoveX-Tina: Thanks for reading. Heh, I never thought of that before, well, it stays still on Tracey's shoulder.

RJDude: Thanks! Well, Ivy is kind of a broad, she marries older and younger men.

ShinyMarill: Thankies! LOL, Tracey could become Krystal. Also I wanna discuss something about our stories over AIM. So when you see me online (or vice versa) could we talk over AIM please? Thanks. I've decided to post a chapter every two days, is that good? Thanks.


Chapter 44

Hi-Jacking the Pokemon Center

Tracey

Tracey was heading for Viridian City. It wasn't a very long distance from Pallet to Viridian, so he should be there in about ten or twenty minutes. The day was hot and sunny, and Tracey battled some wild Pokemon with Voltorb to get him experienced a bit.

Soon, he saw Viridian City in front of him. As he walked in the city, he noticed that the city was much larger than Pallet would ever be. It had a lot of small shops open, like Valencia Island, and also a Pokemon Center.

There was also a lot of new houses, probably built newly since the city was undergoing major expansion. The air was very freshed, and Tracey took a deep breath and walked into this new city.

Jessie and James

Jessie, James, Beautifly, Dustox, and Meowth walked toward Viridian. James and the Pokemon walked on briskly toward the destination, but Jessie stopped them.

"Don't you nitwits remember that we have a job to do?", said Jessie, quietly but with her teeth clenched.

James shook his head.

Jessie slapped him. "Idiot! The boss told us that we have to meet him in the secret hideout outside Viridian!", said Jessie loudly.

James nodded, and they soon saw a Rocket Grunt hiding in the bushes. At the moment they saw the Elites arriving, the Grunt dug a hole. Without even looking at him, the Rocket Elites stepped in, as well as the Rocket Grunt.

This secret hideout of Giovanni's in Kanto was much more bigger than the one on Electric Island in the Orange Islands. It was very lavish, it was like a mansion. Giovanni was seated on a couch reading. He didn't watch adult films like the late Lawrence the III did.

"Jessie, James.", said Giovanni, standing up.

"Good evening, boss Giovanni.", said Jessie and James, bowing in unison. Meowth even put down his Pina Colada to bow. Beautifly and Dustox bowed as well.

"Have you any Pokemon for me?", asked Giovanni, his hand out streched.

"No, sir.", said Jessie her head down.

Giovanni kicked the coffee table.

"Idiots! FOOLS! EMBASILES! You spend a year in the Orange Islands to bring me nothing!", screamed Giovanni and broke the coffee table.

Giovanni calmed down.

"Well, it can't be helped. If you do not bring me any Pokemon from Kanto, then you will be demoted to Grunts, understand?", screamed Giovanni, and continued, "You will go hi-jack the Viridian City Pokemon Center and bring me some valuble and unusual Pokemon is that quite clear?", yelled an apprehensive Giovanni.

He ushered them out of the base and the group continued to Viridian. Night was falling, and Jessie and James recalled Beautifly and Dustox and headed into the Pokemon Center.


*

Tracey was in the Pokemon Center in Viridian City. Since the gym was closed, he would not spend a very long time here. Nurse Joy had healed his Pokemon, and he was in the lobby. Suddenly, the lights went out.

The people and Pokemon panicked, and Nurse Joy tried to calm everyone down. But since the electricity was out, the sick Pokemon could not be treated.

Tracey ran to Nurse Joy and Chansey.

"Nurse, my Voltorb can charge up the electrical outlet.", said Tracey, as he released Voltorb from its Pokeball. Voltorb came out, rolling around.

"Voltorb, Shock Wave on the outlet!", said Tracey, as Voltorb charged up the generator. Soon, the lights were back up, but the doors opened, and a lady with a bomb entered.

"Oh no...", worried Tracey.

"Team Rocket will know take possesion of your Pokemon! No one will exit until this nurse gives us all the Pokemon!", said Jessie.

"Yes, and if not, we'll bomb this place!", said James.

"Or else.", said Meowth.

"You two, get out of here, the Pokemon here are sick!", said Tracey. Voltorb looked tired.

"Oh yeah?", said Jessie, as James ran over to Tracey and quickly took the balls of Seadra, Charmeleon, and Machop.

"Give those back, you gay pile of sticks!", said James.

"I'll show you what a pile of sticks is! Go Dustox!", said James, as Dustox came out, flying around.

"And go, Beautifly!", said Jessie, as Beautifly fluttered around.

"Well, if it's a battle, then go, Voltorb!", said Tracey, as Voltorb rolled around.

"Voltorb, use a Thunderbolt!", said Tracey, but Voltorb didn't move. Tracey looked worried.

Meanwhile, a small Pokemon from outside the Pokemon Center ran in. It was a Hoppip. The small, pink grass type was small, but saw that Tracey was in trouble. It quietly used a Vine Whip and got the Pokemon back from James. Seadra, Charmeleon, and Machop came out of their Pokeballs.

They came running to Tracey.

"Who got those Pokemon ba--?", but before he could finish, Machop punched him in the stomach and hugged him.

Meanwhile, Voltorb was getting beaten up by Beautifly and Dustox who were using various strong attacks on Tracey's Voltorb.

"Voltorb. I know you're gonna lose. But I've known you for sucha long time. We've got to try to win this together. Please... Do it for me.", said Tracey.

Voltorb, weak, frowned. It then glew white. It glew bigger and rounder in size, and stopped glowing. It was a larger Pokeball. Tracey's Voltorb evolved into Electrode.

Electrode ran over to Seadra, Charmeleon, and Machop, and greeted them. They all became happy that Voltorb had finally evolved, and they wished him good luck.

"Beautifly, Psychic!", said Jessie.

"Dustox, Psybeam!", said James.

The two bugs fired two psychic attacks at Electrode.

"Electrode, welcome to the team! Use Light Screen!", said Tracey, as Electrode made a screen in front of it deflecting the attacks.

"Now, use Thunder!", said Tracey. The newly evolved Electrode fired a huge white thunderwave out of its eyes and hit Beautifly and Dustox. The Pokemon fainted, and Team Rocket, recalling their Pokemon, ran out of the Center.

Soon, Tracey walked out of the Pokemon Center, heading on for his first gym, Pewter City. He had to first go through Viridian Forest,however. It was now morning. Seadra was on his shoulder, talking to Machop. Electrode was rolling on the ground, talking to Charmeleon.

Suddenly, they saw a Hoppip smiling at them.

"Did you save my Pokemon at the center in Viridian?", asked Tracey. Hoppip nodded, while smiling. It liked Tracey.

"Well, thanks. I owe ya one. I'll see ya!", said Tracey, as the Pokemon waved.

As Tracey moved out of sight, heading for Virdian Forest and Pewter City, the Hoppip smiled and started sleeping.


To Be Continued

[DannyBoy]

Great Chapter! Voltorb finally evolved! That was the best part! Now its much stronger and Tracy can use it more! I twill be really useful for his battle in Cerulean City. Keep it up!

[Hanada Tattsu]

ILoveX-Tina: Thanks for reading! Ya, Electrode is here! It will be Tracey's most used Pokemon now, actually, second to his Machop. Well, thanks!

[RJdude]

Cool, Voltorb evolved. Does this mean your not going to use Seadra and Charmeleon now? That sucks, they were my favorites.

[SneaselReborned]

Other than a few spelling errors (imbicile) and a few typos (one time you said '!" said James' instead of '!" said Tracey) it was grand!

Though I really don't want to see Team Rocket become grunts. That would suck really badly.

I can't wait to see who is the Cerulean city gym leader!

[Wizzy]

fuew! finally I caugt up with this fic.

This fic is great, and kinda original ^_^

I only miss Jigglypuffs^_^ but nevermind.

Whiiieeeee!:D

[Hanada Tattsu]

RJDude: Thanks! No, Seadra, Charmeleon and Machop will be used just the same as Electrode will be used, except one will be used more than the others.

SneaselReborned: LOL, thanks for pointing those out! Thanks! You'll be surprised at the Cerulean Gym leader, I assure you.

Wizzy: LOL, thanks for readin'! Jigglypuff will appear in this fic in a very unusual way.

Okay, here's a preview for the next chappie, Chapter 45, Showdown in Viridian Forest!

-Tracey meets a fellow trainer who is in Kanto!
As Tracey continued on through the rather lush Viridian Forest, he saw a light-skinned overweight trainer standing by a small brook in the heart of the forest. Inside the pond was a Corsola and an Octillery, and by the trainer there was a Tyrouge. Tracey recognized the trainer as Omar, the cussing Englishman who he had defeated in the Orange League!

-Tracey has a hard time battling Omar, unlike last time; there is a fighting Pokemon showdown!
"Do a ******* better job, you ******** Tyrouge! Use your Mega Punch attack!", cussed Omar, as Tyrouge's arm glew white and it punched Machop in the gut, as the Pokemon fell on the ground.
"Hang in there, Machop! Use your Double Kick!", said Tracey, fist clenched, as Machop ran up to Tyrouge and kicked him twice in the face. Blood came oozing out of Tyrouge's nose, as Machop wiped the blood from its foot.

-Giovanni talks to Jessie and James, and this time its not funny.
"That is final. You have screwed up quite enough! I am sure there are better skiled Rockets out there who can be Elites. From now on, you will forever be ROCKET GRUNTS!", yelled Giovanni, spitting in Jessie's face.

All part of Chapter 45, comin' up tommorow!

[Hanada Tattsu]

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 45 - Showdown in Viridian Forest!

By Hanada

Tracey Sketchit walked down the road that would lead him to Pewter City, where he would attempt to win his first Kanto gym badge so he could have a go at the Kanto League. First, however, he would have to pass through the dark, gloomy, Viridian Forest. The sun was bright, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and Tracey felt great. His Voltorb had just evolved into Electrode, and he was happy that he could finally use it again.

Soon, he read a dusty sign. Tracey tried to read it, but it was too dirty to decipher. He soon had an idea.

"Go, Seadra!", yelled Tracey, as Tracey threw a blue Dive Ball on the ground. Seadra came out, smiling. His spikes were sharper than ever, and its black eyes, though stern, smiled at Tracey.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs185.png

"Seadra, use Water Gun on the sign!", said Tracey, as Seadra fired a gush of water on the dirty sign, making the sign completely readable now.

"Good job, Seadra, return!", said Tracey, as he recalled Seadra into his Dive Ball and attached it to his belt.

Tracey read, "Viridian Forest: AHEAD: Bring along a Pokemon with Flash!! BEWARE..."

"I have my own Pokemon with Flash!", said Tracey, "Hit it, Electrode!"

Tracey threw the Pokeball and out came Electrode, rolling around. It was happy to be out. Ever since Voltorb had evolved it was much more hyper as an Electrode. Electrode rolled around.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs085.png

Tracey entered the forest. He couldn't see a thing. It was dark, he couldn't even walk. He heard a Zigzagoon howl, and then ordered, "Electrode, Flash!"

Electrode's eyes and mouth glowed yellow, and it fired a blinding light from its mouth. Soon, the whole forest became lighted, and Tracey could see that the whole forest was lush and green. There was a small drizzle coming down. Tracey was puzzled, outside it was rain, but this dense forest was raining. How wierd...

Keen on finding out more about the forest, Tracey walked on, as Electrode rolled along next to him, firing the Flash attack from its eyes and mouth.

As Tracey continued on through the rather lush Viridian Forest, he saw a light-skinned overweight trainer standing by a small brook in the heart of the forest. Inside the pond was a Corsola and an Octillery, and by the trainer there was a Tyrouge. Tracey recognized the trainer as Omar, the cussing Englishman who he had defeated in the Orange League!

Tracey, hiding behind a tree, quickly gasped. Electrode did as well. Omar looked the same, except he had gained a few pounds. He had obviously shaved, and had a stern look on his face. His strongest Pokemon, Octillery, was swimming in the brook. It was diving underwater and back up. Corsola looked much stronger, it was talking to Octillery while diving up and down as well. Next to Omar there was a scrawny Tyrouge, who looked inexperienced and was talking to its trainer.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs363.pnghttp://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs180.pnghttp://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs371.png

Electrode, for some wierd reason, got hyper, so he rolled around toward Omar, rolling over the chair he was sitting on, and throwing him in the brook.

"Electrode, no!", said Tracey, but it was too late. Corsola and Octillery, scared at the outcome, went to the edge of the brook, scared.

"Who, just did that?", screamed Omar.

Tracey for a minute thought that Omar stopped his cussing, but the idea was shelved when Omar continued, "WHO JUST ****** TOPPLED OVER MY CHAIR!"

When he saw Electrode, he was gonna kick it, but Tracey stepped out.

"Omar, that's my Electrode.", said Tracey.

"Oh, so it's you! Tracey Sketchit from the ******* Orange League? What are you doing here in Kanto?", asked Omar.

"Collecting badges, to try and win the Kanto Cup.", said Tracey, calm, as Electrode talked to Corsola and Octillery. Tyrouge was rather anti-social.

"Well, I see your puny Voltorb evolved. That Electrode looks good. Fancy trading it for this Tyrouge?", asked Omar.

Tracey looked. The Tyrouge, though scrawny, looked like a pretty good and strong Pokemon. Tracey coud use it in some of the gyms. He then looked down at Electrode. He had had this since he was in Electric Island, he had had it or over a year, if not more.

"Omar, I challenge you. If you win, I will give you Electrode and you will give me Tyrouge. If I win, we won't trade.", said Tracey.

"Sounds pretty **** good to me!", said Omar.

"Get out there, you puny piece of ****! TYROGUE!", cussed Omar, as Tyrouge got up and faced Tracey.

"Well, if you're gonna use a fighting Pokemon, then I'll use a fighting type of my own! Get out there, Machop!", said Tracey, as he threw his Fast Ball onto the arena. It was Machop's first battle. Machop came out, dancing. He then punched Tracey in the stomach, as Tracey toppled over.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs073.png

"I guess you don't have a six pack or arm muscles...", said Omar.

"Neither do you!", said Tracey, rubbing his stomach.

"Tyrouge, start off with a two Roundhouse one Jumping Roundhouse combo!", said Omar, as Tyrouge started kicking Machop, who had a hard time blocking Tyrouge's kicks. Finally, Tyrouge finished off the combo with a Jumping Roundhouse kick, sending the kick into Machop's backside.

Machop toppled over on the grass. Electrode, Corsola, and Octillery looked at the battle, fearing the worst.

"Good, again! Keep kicking that meat!", said Omar, as Tracey looked at him confused.

Tyrouge kicked Machop twice, but when he was about to finish him off, Machop grapped Tyrouge's leg.

"Great, Machop! Vital Throw!", said Tracey, as Machop, still grabbing on hold of Tyrouge's leg, threw him across the field. Tyrouge hit a rock.

"Omar, recall Tyrouge! It's not looking good!", said Tracey.

Omar ignored him and continued battling, as Tyrouge, suffering a concussion, got back up.

"Do a ******* better job, you ******** Tyrouge! Use your Mega Punch attack!", cussed Omar, as Tyrouge's arm glew white and it punched Machop in the gut, as the Pokemon fell on the ground.
"Hang in there, Machop! Use your Double Kick!", said Tracey, fist clenched, as Machop ran up to Tyrouge and kicked him twice in the face. Blood came oozing out of Tyrouge's nose, as Machop wiped the blood from its foot.

"I'm sorry I have to do this, Omar. Use Seismic Toss!", said Tracey, as Macho grabbed Tyrouge, jumped in the air, and threw it on the ground. Tyrouge fainted.

"Great job, Machop! You did great!", said Tracey, as Machop punched Tracey in the stomach and hugged him.

"Return, you piece of ******* ****!", said Omar.

He recalled a scared Octillery and Corsola and stormed out of the forest.

"Bye...", said Tracey.

He recalled Machop in its Fast Ball, and he and Electrode headed off through Viridian Forest to Pewter City, where Ash would battle for his Boulder Badge.


*

Jessie, James, and Meowth walked south from Viridian City to Route 1 again, where they were to have a special meeting with Giovanni again.

They saw the Rocket Grunt in a pissy mood.

"Good day, Elites!", said the Grunt as he quickly dug the hole.

"Wait, kid. What's wrong?", asked Meowth in his raspy voice, as he finished his Lime Pina Colada.

"The Boss is not in a good mood. You don't wanna get up on the wrong side with him, I assure you.", said the Grunt.

Jessie and James and Meowh stepped inside, and bowed to their boss Giovanni.

"Well?", asked Giovanni, both his hands outstreched.

"Where are the Pokemon?", asked he.

Jessie and James, their hands behind their backs, hummed a tune.

"Sir, the Viridian plan did not go well. The trainers defeated us. We couldn't get any Pokemon...", said Jessie.

Giovanni, enraged, started laughing. So did Jessie and James, and even Meowth, thinking that the boss was correct in laughing.

"YOU STUPID ****** SONS OF *****!", screamed Giovanni slapping Jessie and boxing James. He even stepped on Meowth's tail.

"That is final. You have screwed up quite enough! I am sure there are better skiled Rockets out there who can be Elites. From now on, you will forever be ROCKET GRUNTS!", yelled Giovanni, spitting in Jessie's face.

"But...sir...We have Pokemon!", said Meowth, rubbing his tail.

Jessie and James glared at Meowth.

"Don't listen to him, Boss, he's just a...", began Jessie, but suddenly a Hoppip ran in. This was the same Hoppip that had rescued Tracey's Pokemon.

James nudged at Jessie and Jessie saw the Hoppip. "Here it is! The Pokemon we stole!", said Jessie. Giovanni chuckled.

"Good! I was planning on killing the Pokemon you bought, so I hoped it was a cute one!", said Giovanni. Hoppip sat in Giovanni's lap, smiling.

Giovanni took out a pistol from his pocket, and shot the Hoppip five times in the heart and three times in the leaf. The small, Hoppip, with a smile on its face, dropped dead.

Giovanni checked for heartbeat. Hoppip was dead.

"Here's a device that immediatly makes dead Pokemon dissapear into thin air!", said Giovanni, and pressed the button on the device. The dead Hoppip dissapeared.

"Great Job! You are still Rocket Elites!", said Giovanni.

Jessie, James, and Meowth cheered.

"But, in order to succeed, you must steal Celebi's Harp from deep inside Viridian Forest.", said Giovanni.

"Bring it to me. I am sure we will be able to use it. You see, years ago, Celebi ran away from Johto to Kanto. We don't know its exact location here. This harp will lure Celebi to us. Bring me the harp!", said Giovanni, as Team Rocket nodded, and ran through Viridian to Viridian Forest, where Tracey currently was...


To Be Continued...

[Dewgongtears]

Really great chapter. I really liked the battle....it was neat. Looks like the next part will also be good and I hope it will have Celebi.

[DannyBoy]

Great chapter! You used good description and length. That poor hoppip. Very intresting with the machine making dead pokemon dissappear. I liked the pokemon battle, machop is strong for his new pokemon. Keep it up!

[RJdude]

Man, why can't Omar just... go away. Well, it's a good thing Tracy won, otherwise we wouldn't get to see Eletrode anymore. And I have a question: what Pokemon did Omar have that knew Flash?

[Hanada Tattsu]

DewgongTears: Thanks for readin'! Yeah, I hope you like the next chappie, Celebi does make an appearence. Oops, I just spoiled it, lol.

ILoveX-Tina: Thanks! I hope you keep reading, and I'm glad ya liked it.

RJDude: LOL, sadly, Omar will make many future appearences. Also, Octillery knew Flash. You'll find out how in a few chapters, when Omar and Tracey meet up again in Cermillion Tunnel, the underground path between Cerulean and Vermillion that is in the games.

[Hanada Tattsu]

All right, here's a preview for my next chapter, Chapter 46, The Harp! Enjoy!

-Tracey stumbles upon a surprise!
"You mean to tell me that my Charmeleon's not my strongest Pokemon?", asked Tracey, with a confounded look on his face. "Yes, Seadra is your strongest Pokemon, followed by Charmeleon, Electrode, and Machop.", said Mrs. Delchy, with Misdreavus following her every move.

-Team Rocket find the harp!
"There's the harp!", said Meowth, very loudly in his rather raspy voice. Jessie and James told him to be quiet. They then looked at the golden harp. The golden harp had some shades of green in it. The harp, though by age very old, looked very clean and new. It lay in the middle of the clearing, There were two Linoone guarding the harp, looking very experienced. Jessie and James had to get through the Linoone.

-The battle for the harp!
"Beautifly, use Psywave!", said Jessie, as her Beautifly fired two pink psychic waves from its wings, which hit Machop and confused the fighting Pokemon.
"Machop, use Mega Kick!", said Tracey, but Machop couldn't get up. It got up and aimed a Mega Kick for Beautifly.
"Oh no you don't! Dustox, Psybeam!", said James, as Dustox fired a multi-colored beam at Machop from its antenna, hitting Machop and knocking it out.

Look out for Chapter 46, tommorow!

[Hanada Tattsu]

I'm sorry guys, I wasn't able to post my new chapter today. I will post Chapter #46 and Chapter Preview #47 tommorow. If I'm feeling good enough, I may even post Chapter #47 and Chapter Preview #48 tommorow, so be patient. The best is yet to come!

[Hanada Tattsu]

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 46 - The Harp

By Hanada

After having a tough re-match with Omar in Viridian Forest, Tracey was still heading through the rather lush forest to Pewter City, where he would battle the gym leader Brock for his first Kanto League badge, his first chance at winning the Kanto Leauge.

As Tracey walked on, he noticed that Electrode, who was still using its Flash to light up the forest, looked tired. It had been using the attack for a while now, so Tracey decided to give it some rest. But where? Without Electrode's Flash, the forest would be as dark as the ocean floor.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs085.png

Suddenly, Tracey found a house nearby in the forest. It was a rather small cottage, colored brown with some shades of yellow and red. There were a few windows, and likewise a few skylights. There was also a sign outside the house.

Tracey and Electrode ran (or in the case of Electrode, rolled) towards the house, where Tracey read the sign. It said Mrs. Delchy's Cottage. Tracey knocked on the door with Electrode at his feet.

An elderly lady opened the door. She had a very kind face, with glasses, and grayish-whitish hair. She was slouched and held a cane. She wore an outdated black dress, maybe because she was a widow, and she had a blue shawl on her back. Next to her was a Misdreavus, who started screaming like a banshee when she saw Electrode.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs345.png

"So, you've come to have your Pokemon checked?", said Mrs. Delchy, who had a very scratchy and raspy voice, probably from years of smoking.

"Um, checked?", asked Tracey, ignorant of the matter, as he and Electrode looked at each other, with a blank look on their faces.

"Yes, to see who is the most powerful on your team.", said Mrs. Delchy, Misdreavus following her screeching.

"That Misdreavus of yours looks very powerful.", said Tracey, changing the subject.

"Yes, my father gave it to me when I was first born. We've been together for 90 years, Misdreavus and I.", said Mrs. Delchy, cuddling her Misdreavus.

Tracey released all his Pokemon, to have them 'checked.'

Seadra came out, and immediatly started talking to Electrode. Charmeleon came out of its Friend Ball and started talking with its friends Seadra and Electrode. Eventually, Machop came out of its Fast Ball.

When it came out, it started looking for Tracey and saw him. It then socked him in the stomach. Tracey fell on the ground, and Mrs. Delchy and Misdreavus laughed.

Eventually, Seadra left the conversation and started talking to Machop, as Electrode talked to Charmeleon.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs185.pnghttp://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs207.pnghttp://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs073.png

Without making a word, Mrs. Delchy's cane morphed into a blue stick. She made Seadra, Machop, Charmeleon and Electrode stand in one spot. She then bought the stick over the Pokemon's head she then said.

"It seems to me that your strongest Pokemon is Seadra. Your second strongest is Charmeleon. Your third strongest is Electrode, and your weakest is Machop.", said Mrs. Delchy.

"You mean to tell me that my Charmeleon's not my strongest Pokemon?", asked Tracey, with a confounded look on his face. "Yes, Seadra is your strongest Pokemon, followed by Charmeleon, Electrode, and Machop.", said Mrs. Delchy, with Misdreavus following her every move.

"Cool! Seadra, I'll be using you in a lot more battles!", said Tracey, as Seadra perced upon his shoulder.

"Tracey, you look like a nice, responsible trainer. I have to tell you something. Years ago, Team Rocket chased a legendary Pokemon out of the Johto region, Celebi. It fled to Kanto, and sought refuge in the forest somewhere. Team Rocket eventuallybecame much stronger about forty years ago, when Giovanni Altibelli became its chancellor. However, Celebi fled from the forest, but its location is unknown. It left a harp here to signify itself, so that whenever we need help, we just play the harp.", said Mrs. Delchy.

"Wow, cool.", said Tracey, with a dumfounded face.


*

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, Meowth, Beautifly, and Dustox waddled on through Viridian Forest, trying to find the harp.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs241.pnghttp://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs016.pnghttp://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs018.png

"Where can this stupid harp be!", said Meowth, drinking a Pina Colada as he walked alongside Beautifly and Dustox, who were flying low above the ground talking to Meowth.

Suddenly, Dustox and Beautifly waddled over a clearing.

"What is it, guys?", asked Jessie, James, and Meowth in unison. As the two flying types entered the clearing, they found it.

"There's the harp!", said Meowth, very loudly in his rather raspy voice. Jessie and James told him to be quiet. They then looked at the golden harp. The golden harp had some shades of green in it. The harp, though by age very old, looked very clean and new. It lay in the middle of the clearing, There were two Linoone guarding the harp, looking very experienced. Jessie and James had to get through the Linoone.

"Move over, little Linoone. We won't hurt you.", said James.

The Lioone jumped at James. They started chewing on him.

"Those things are mutated!", said Jessie, as Meowth looked on.

"Meowth, go get them, use Growl!", said Jessie, as Meowth started screaming in his loud, raspy voice.

The Lioone ignored him.

"Use Pay Day!", said Jessie, as Meowth fired fifty coins out of its charm, it hit the Linoone, leaving scares, but they were still chewing on James, who seemed to be scared.

"That's it!", said Jessie, as she took out two muskets. She shot the two Linoone, killing them with five bullets each.

James got up, wiping himself.

Jessie used the Pokemon Death Dissapearer machine she had borrowed from Chancellor Giovanni and the two dead Linoone dissapeared.

Suddenly, Jessie and James, who was feeling better, ran to the harp and got it. The beautiful harp was very heavy, but Jessie's toughness and James' not so tough muscles were somehow able to carry the harp.

"Yes! Chancellor Giovanni will be overjoyed!", said Jessie, as she and James carried the golden harp toward the entrance of Viridian Forest, as Beautifly used Flash.


*

In Mrs. Delchy's house, an alarm started.

"What's that?", asked an alarmed Tracey.

"Oh my God! THE HARP HAS BEEN STOLEN! Someone must have killed the two Linoone that belong to Mr. O'Keefe in Pewter City!", said Mrs. Delchy.

Tracey and Mrs. Delchy ran outside. Electrode started up its Flash, and Mrs. Delchy, though weak and old, ran with Misdreavus much harder than Tracey. Tracey gasped.

Suddenly, they came across Team Rocket, James now holding the harp on his back.

Mrs. Delchy gasped. "Team Rocket!"

"Blast off at the speed of light, Surrender now or prepare to fight!", Jessie continued.

"I'm James, she's Jessie, and this is Meowth!", said James.

"Meowth, that's right!", said Meowth, Beautifly and Dustox fluttering next to him.

"You killed Mr. O'Keefe's husband and wife Linoone! He had three Linoone, and you killed two of them! At least his favorite is, the male's older brother, is still with him!", said Mrs. Delchy threatening them with her cane.

"Move it, old lady.", said James.

"Give back the harp you idiots!", said Tracey with his fist clenched.

"No-no-NO! Beautifly, GO!", said Jessie, as Beautifly fluttered on the arena.

"Oh yeah? Dustox, GO as well!", said James, Dustox zipped through the arena.

"Well, we'll just see about that! Machop, Electrode, GO!", said Tracey, as he ordered Electrode to go and threw his Fast Ball, sending Machop out.

Machop socked Tracey in the stomach, who fell back. James squealed.

Beautifly, use Psywave!", said Jessie, as her Beautifly fired two pink psychic waves from its wings, which hit Machop and confused the fighting Pokemon.
"Machop, use Mega Kick!", said Tracey, but Machop couldn't get up. It got up and aimed a Mega Kick for Beautifly.
"Oh no you don't! Dustox, Psybeam!", said James, as Dustox fired a multi-colored beam at Machop from its antenna, hitting Machop and knocking it out.

"What a weak Pokemon!", said James, as Tracey recalled Machop in its Fast Ball.

"Go, Electrode, Thunderbolt!", said Tracey said, as Electrode fired an electric attack from its eyes, shocking Dustox.

"Beautifly, Tackle it! FULL SPEED!", said Jessie, as Beautifly tackled Electrode, making it loose control of its electric attack, shocking itself.

"Dustox, poison it! Toxic!", said James, as Dustox fired a thick, gooey, poison attack at Electrode, poisoning it.

"A Pokemon trainer in the forest should always have one of these!", said Tracey, holding up an Antidote. He sprayed it on Electrode, and Electrode was not poisoned anymore.

"The harp is ours! Beautifly, Silver Wind!", said Jessie.

"Dustox, Silver Wind!", said James, as Beautifly and Dustox charged up and sent everyone, including Mrs. Delchy, flying back about 20 yards. Jessie and James recalled Beautifly and Dustox in their Pokeballs, and ran away with the harp.

Mrs. Delchy and Misdreavus were having trouble breathing. Electrode comforted Misdreavus, but Tracey was having trouble with Mrs. Delchy.

A few hours later, everyone was feeling all right.

"Mrs. Delchy, I promise, I'll get that harp back someday.", said Tracey.

"You need to hurry. I am the guardian of the harp.", said Mrs. Delchy and Misdreavus, waving.

Tracey and Electrode headed off to Pewter City, hoping to earn a badge and also to help Mrs. Delchy and get the harp back.

As Tracey walked, a small green creature hid behind a tree. She looked at him, eyeing Tracey closely. Worried, she chanted "Cele Cele Biiiiii" and ran through the forest.















Here's the preview for Chapter 47:The Pewter City Gym

-Tracey finally enters Pewter City, where he calls Proffesor Oak
The legendary harp of Celebi has been stolen?", asked Oak, with Corphish by his side.
"Yes, sir. Team Rocket stole it, we tried what we could do but we were defeated by them, Mrs. Delchy and I.", said Tracey.
"Oh, I see.", said Oak sarcastically. Suddenly, he and Corphish started laughing hysterically.
"What's so funny with you?", asked Tracey.
"You actually believe that silly tale about the harp?", laughed Oak.
Tracey embaressed, hung up the phone.

-Tracey has a hard time with the gym leader Brock's Golem.
[i]"Machop, use Double Kick!", said Tracey, as Machop ran to the rather heavy megaton Golem and kicked him twice in the mouth. Golem, more annoyed than hurt, at Brock's orders, started to focus its energy on Machop.
"What's it doing?", asked Tracey.
"Focus Energy. Its getting pumped up for its next move! FOCUS PUNCH!", said Brock, as Golem fired a black punch from its right first. It collided into Machop, knocking it out.

-Tracey might win, or will he?
"Nosepass, use Rock Tomb!", said Brock, as he clenched his fist. Nosepass jumped in the air and fired five rocks. They surrounded Seadra and didn't let it move.
"Now, Earthquake!", said Brock, as Nospass dug under Seadra and started to shake the ground. Seadra started being tossed around, its snout hitting the different rocks. Seadra collapsed, but tryed to jump back up again. Was this the end?

Watch out for Chapter 47, The Pewter Gym, coming up tommorow!

[Dragon_Claw]

nice battle, good to see Team Rocket win. or er....read they won.

But a question to you Hanada: Will Team Rocket catch some more Pokémon soon? Because it's not really fun fighting with the same Pokémon all the time.

But other then that, I liked Meowth battled, unlike in the anime

[RJdude]

Nice chapter... you know, you need to stop killing off Pokemon. I sorta thought Seadra was his most pwerful, Tracey's had it for the most time.

[Dewgongtears]

Nice chapter Hananda. So Team Rocket finally achieved something but lets see for how long. It looks like the next chapter will be cool also.

[DannyBoy]

Good CHapter! Team Rocket did something right...or should it be wrong. Hmmm? I don't know. I agree with Dragon_Claw I hope they catch some new pokemon. Keep it up!

[Hanada Tattsu]

Dragon_Claw: Thanks for reading! Team Rocket will get some new Pokemon in the next chapter, just for you to know.

RJDude: Thanks! LOL, that's what makes this fic so unique! Keep reading!

[Hanada Tattsu]

Okay, guys, Chapter 47 and Preview 48 will be up tommorow, but today is our Pokemon Contest 2! The rules are the same as last time, but except this time you put your name you want and the Pokemon you want to have. Also, since the winner of this will be the Cerulean Leader, the name of your badge.

As soon as 5 people reply, I'll give a secret code and you'll PM me the code. The first person will win.

Keep an eye out!

[DannyBoy]

Dan
Marshstomp Wartortle Totodile

[RJdude]

I might as well enter this contest:

Jay
- Swampert
- Pelipper
- Kabutops (His favorite and most powerful, by the way)

The River Badge

[BlueKecleon]

James

-Wartortle
-Gyrados
-and a very strong Azumarill

Tsunami Badge

[SneaselReborned]

Aquarius (M)

-Blastoise

Blastoise is extremely tough, and though Aquarius is required to fight 3 on 3 battles, he fights with only Blastoise, who he thinks is enough to beat three enemies. Be warned, its insanely powerful. It really does take three to take it down. Aquarius only gives the badge out if Blastoise is beaten in a 3 on 1 battle, due to the fact he wants to train Blastoise. Keeps talking about "a higher level" that Blastoise can get it. Hmmm?

Gives out the Monsoon Badge after defeat...that is, IF you defeat him. New Gym Leader, never been defeated so far.

[Dragon_Claw]

Tyler

Pokémon (dunno if this is required, you can replace them if you like. If not, this is in order of strength; weak first, strongest last):

* Mudkip (his favorite :P)
* Vaporeon
* Tentacruel

Edit: Forgot the badge. Badge: Rainfall Badge (3 blue droplets of water)

[Hanada Tattsu]

Dragon_Claw: Congrats! No, the gym leaders will eventually re-appear in this fic and other installments later on eventually.




The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 47:The Pewter Gym

By Hanada

Finally reaching the exit of Viridian Forest, Tracey walked out of the forest and reached the gates of Pewter City. Tracey streched his hands and feet and announced, "We've finally made it, Electrode!"
Electrode, who was tired after using its Flash Attack, was panting for breath. Tracey finally recalled Electrode into its Pokeball and headed off for the entrance to Pewter City.

Pewter City was a pretty big town. It had a few tall buildings, and a lot of little stores. There were nice, beautiful gardens, full of small Weedle, Wurmple, and Caterpie walking throughout the many gardens. There was a huge National Kanto Pewter Museum in the northeast of town, near the mountain pass leading to Mt. Moon and Cerulean City.

Tracey realized that he and his Pokemon were dead tired, so he started looking for the Pokemon Center. He soon saw the huge Pokemon Center, and ran inside, almost panting.
He greeted Nurse Joy and Chansey, and Joy realized that he was tired after going through the rather big Viridian Forest.

"Hi, Nurse Joy. Would you mind healing my Pokemon?", asked Tracey, as he handed over Seadra's Dive Ball, Electrode's Poke Ball, Charmeleon's Friend Ball, and Machop's Fast Ball to the Nurse.

"Sure, Tracey.", said Joy, and she took the Pokeballs and took them to the back.

"Um, Nurse, is there a video phone around here?", asked Tracey.

"Sure, its in the corner there.", said Nurse Joy, and Chansey followed her into the sickroom.

Tracey walked to the corner and saw the green video phone. He wanted to call Proffesor Oak to let him know where he is and about his progress into the Kanto League.

He dialed Proffesor Oak's number, and he soon saw Proffesor Oak pick up, his faithful Corphish by his side. Corphish looked a bit more experienced.

"Hello, Proffesor Oak!", said Tracey, waving.

"Oh, Tracey! Welcome! Where are you?", asked Oak, with Corphish smiling by his side.

"I'm in Pewter City, I just reached it!", said Tracey. "I have Seadra, Electrode, Charmeleon, and Machop!" said Tracey, awaiting a reply.

"Nice, I see your Voltorb evovled.", said Oak laughing.

"I also failed at something.", said Tracey, with his head down, tears in his eyes.

"What, Tracey? What happened?", asked Oak, with Corphish looking on.

"The harp owned by Celebi that was guarded by Mrs. Delchy and her Misdreavus and also Mr. O'Keefe's two Linoone that were killed by Team Rocket, well that harp has been stolen by Team Rocket.", said Tracey, in a very fast tone.

The legendary harp of Celebi has been stolen?", asked Oak, with Corphish by his side.
"Yes, sir. Team Rocket stole it, we tried what we could do but we were defeated by them, Mrs. Delchy and I.", said Tracey.
"Oh, I see.", said Oak sarcastically. Suddenly, he and Corphish started laughing hysterically.
"What's so funny with you?", asked Tracey.
"You actually believe that silly tale about the harp?", laughed Oak.
Tracey embaressed, hung up the phone.

Soon, Nurse Joy and Chansey told Tracey that his Pokemon were all 100% healed. Tracey took his Pokemon's Pokeballs and put them on his belt, and headed out of the Pokemon Center.

Tracey had three things to do here. He wanted to go to the gym to win his first Kanto gym badge, visit the Museum, and have a talk with Mr. O'Keefe. He decided he would go to the gym first.

Tracey walked around Pewter a bit, and soon saw the gym. It was a building made of pewter stone, a bland building. The words Pewter Gym were carved on the stone, but that was the only distinguishing features that the gym had.

Tracey entered, opening the door. This was the first gym he had challenged since the Qamkouad Gym in the Orange Isles.

The gym was very dark. There were two lights on surrounding a dimly lit scoreboard.

"Who goes there?", said a deep voice.

"I am Tracey Sketchit, from Valencia Island, and I challenge you to a match for your badge!", said Tracey.

The voice jumped down. He was young, about 15 or 16. He wore no shirt, he had huge arm muscles and a six-pack. He had strong calves and wore some black shorts.

"Fine! It will be a two-on-two match! No time limit! If you win, you will recieve the Boulder Badge! And I am the gym leader of Pewter Gym, I am Brock!", said Brock, holding the rocky, stone badge.

"Well, lets get started.", said Tracey, getting a Pokeball ready. The scoreboard lit up, with a picture of Brock on one side and a picture of Tracey on the other.

"Go, Golem!", said Brock, throwing out a Heavy Ball onto the arena. A very experienced Golem emerged, flexing its big muscles. A picture of Golem appeared on the scoreboard.

Tracey thought. He couldn't use Electrode or Charmeleon, so he decided to use another one of his remaining Pokemon.

"Go, Machop!", said Tracey, throwing out Machop's Fast Ball. Machop flexed its mucles and punched Tracey in the stomach. Tracey toppled over, as Brock laughed. A picture of Machop appeared on the scoreboard.

"Machop, start off with Mega Punch!", said Tracey, as Machop's fist glew white and it started running towards Golem to punch it in the jaw.

The megaton Pokemon just stood there, awaiting an order from its master Brock.

"Golem, Defense Curl!", said Brock, as Golem started curling up into a ball. As Machop punched it, Golem didn't feel a thing, while Machop's fist took all the pain.

Machop starting dancing around the arena, in pain.

"A weak Machop can't hurt Golem!", said Brock, chuckling.

"Now, Golem, use Rollout!", said Brock, as Golem started rolling along ready to hit Machop. Machop, nervous, got ready.

"Machop, Outside Middle Block!", said Tracey, as Machop's right fist hit Golem to the side, throwing the megaton Golem to the wall, putting it in a lot of pain.

"Great job, Machop! Hi Jump Kick!", said Tracey, as Machop jumped up and started gettin' ready to hit the Golem. Golem, who was still recovering from the attack, was still hit straight on by the attack, as Machop's kick made it crash into the wall.

"Machop, use Double Kick!", said Tracey, as Machop ran to the rather heavy megaton Golem and kicked him twice in the mouth. Golem, more annoyed than hurt, at Brock's orders, started to focus its energy on Machop.
"What's it doing?", asked Tracey.
"Focus Energy. Its getting pumped up for its next move! FOCUS PUNCH!", said Brock, as Golem fired a black punch from its right first. It collided into Machop, knocking it out.

"What the...?", asked Tracey, as Brock and Golem laughed. Golem was very weak, even a Tackle attack from a Pidgey would bring it down now.

"Great job, Machop! Return!", said Tracey, recalling Machop into its Fast Ball.

"Now, prepare to be beat! My strongest Pokemon and favorite Pokemon! Seadra, Go!", said Tracey, as he threw his Dive Ball, and Seadra came out, its black eyes staring at the faltering Golem. Seadra's picture appeared on the scoreboard.

"I'll show you how weak your Golem really is after my Machop did the damage. Bubble!", said Tracey.

"You intend to beat me with that? Stand there, Golem!", said Brock as Golem stood where it was. The four bubbles hit Golem, and the Pokemon immediatly fell.

Golem fainted.

"What? Golem, return!", said Brock, recalling the fainted Golem in its Heavy Ball.

"Now, I'll show you how weak you really are! Go, Nosepass!", said Brock, as he threw a Luxury Ball out, and a gray stone duck came out running around.

"Nosepass is my favorite and strongest Pokemon!", said Brock.

Nosepass was a wierd Pokemon, but it must be powerful if a gym leader had it on his team.

"Seadra, start off with Water Gun!", said Tracey, and Seadra fired a cold blast of water at Nosepass. It, however, jumped out of the way and dodged the attack.

"Nosepass, use Mud Slap!", said Brock. Nosepass' small hands glew brown, covered with mud, it then went to Seadra and tryed slapping him with its muddy hands. Seadra got mud all over his blue cheeks, which soon turned a cherry red leaving Nosepass' damage.

"Oh yeah? Seadra, use your Dragon Rage!", said Tracey, as Seadra fired a small red beam from its snout, which hit Nosepass, dealing lots of damage.

"Nosepass, Lock On!", said Brock. Tracey, puzzled, imagined what this attack could do.

Nosepass, since it was a compass magnet, stuck on to Tracey's Seadra.

"Seadra, use Dragon Beam on it! Then you'll get it off!", said Tracey to his most favorite Pokemon and strongest Pokemon. Seadra's snout glew white and out came a multi-colored beam.

Nosepass took the damage, but it was still stuck to Seadra, no matter what.

"Now, Zap Cannon!", said Brock, as Nosepass fired a very powerful electric attack from its nose. Seadra was hurt badly, and paralyzed on the spot.

"Seadra! Oh No!", said Tracey, fearing the worst.

"Nosepass, use Rock Tomb!", said Brock, as he clenched his fist. Nosepass jumped in the air and fired five rocks. They surrounded Seadra and didn't let it move.
"Now, Earthquake!", said Brock, as Nospass dug under Seadra and started to shake the ground. Seadra started being tossed around, its snout hitting the different rocks. Seadra collapsed, but tryed to jump back up again. Was this the end?

Suddenly, Seadra stood up, ignoring the shaking. It used its snout to break open the rocks, and stood in front of Nosepass, who had gotten up now. It fired a huge spray of cold water, about 70% more water than Water Gun. It started spinning around, so that more water came out of its snout and so that the water was moving around and around. Seadra learned Hydro Pump, finally, the most powerful water move!

"You learned Hydro Pump, Seadra! Great!", said Tracey. The water collided into Nosepass, fainting the compass Pokemon instantly.

"Oh no! Nosepass, Return!", said Brock, recalling Nosepass. Tracey won his first gym battle!

Seadra stopped and ran to Tracey.

"Great job, Seadra! You rule!", said Tracey to Seadra, hugging it.

"You prevailed. And that is why you deserve this Boulder Badge!", said Brock. "And take this Indigo League Badge Case!", said Brock.

The Indigo League Badge case was a dark blue badge case. The Boulder Badge was a pewter badge in a circle, Tracey got his first Kanto Badge!

"All right! I got a Boulder Badge!", said Tracey, putting his badge into the first compartment available. He had done it! He had gotten his first badge!

"The next gym is in Cerulean City! Good luck!", said Brock, as Golem and Nosepass waved.

Tracey waved. He went to the Pokemon Center, where he would spend the night.


To Be Continued...



















Watch out for Chapter 48, The Pewter Museum Takeover coming on Tuesday!

-Giovanni congratulates Jessie and James on their victory!
Giovanni, and his only three Pokemon, which were Muk, Weezing, and Swalot, which was his strongest, were grinning wildly as James handed him Celebi's harp. "Oh, my God, finally! I have power in my hands! I am holding power in my hands! YES! YES! May Evil bless you, Jessie, and James! For you, I have a special prize, for both of you!", said Giovanni, as he, Swalot, Muk, and Weezing followed Team Rocket's boss as he went into a closet, where there was nothing but two Pokeballs in cages.

-Tracey enters the museum
The museum was beautiful. It was painted beige, and had a lot of beautiful, windows and also some French doors. It was made in old Greek architecture, and there was a lot of people outside of it. Tracey entered inside, he could not wait to enter. Even if he had to pay a small fee, it was worth seeing all the ancient Pokemon art that was said to rest here.

-Team Rocket hi-jack the Museum!
"Get out of here! This place isn't for you!", yelled Tracey, his fist clenched.
"We don't have time for idiots like you anymore! We are now strong and better, so leave! BYE!", said Jessie.
James and Meowth, who was drinking a Pina-Colada, laughed.
"Now, we'll show you how mean we can be! Go, Beautifly and ******!", said Jessie, as she threw 2 Pokeballs out. "Yes, go Dustox and *****!", said James, as he likewise threw out two Pokeballs.
Tracey was nervous, as meowth finished his Pina Colada.

Watch out for Chapter 48, on Tuesday!

[DannyBoy]

Great Chapter! The gym battle was amazing. It was funny with proffesor oak. poor Tracy lol. Good length and description. I was surprised with Brock having Nosepass. Keep it up!

[Dragon_Claw]

Funny to know That Brock's favorite Pokémon was Nosepass, lol. I was afraid it would use Mudkip and Lotad ;)

Nice battle, I really like Oaks Corphish, they are much alike.

I am really curious which Pokémon Jessie and James will get. I hope it's something cool. Like a starter, that would be hilarious lmao :D

I was almost thinking Seadra evolved into Kingdra, turning out that it learned Hydro Pump. I'm really curious how Seadra is evolve, cuz in the game it's threw trading with an item...ShinyMarill's idea was cool, that it's 'Dragon Scale' starts glowing...

Now, time for the new Chapter, Chapter 48!


The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 48 - The Museum

By Hanada

Tracey had finally won his first Kanto gym badge, the Boulder Badge, from Brock of the Pewter City Gym. He had also gotten a free Indigo League Badge Case, and his gray Boulder Badge shimmered and shined in the sunlight as Tracey, in front of the Pewter Pokemon Center, looked at his prize.

Now, Tracey had finally visited the gym. His visit to Pewter City, however, was not over yet. He still had a lot to do. He had to visit The Pewter Museum, and also visit Mr. O'Keefe and talk to him about current events about the harp and such.

Tracey decided to save the saddest for last, so he decided to visit Mr. O'Keefe the next day. He walked to the north of town, where he would go visit The Pewter Museum.


*

Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, had three Pokemon. He had all poison types, as Team Rocket usually trained poison types. His Pokemon were Muk, Weezing, and Swalot. Swalot was his strongest, it could even defeat a legendary if it tried hard enough.

Jessie and Meowth walked briskly down Route 1. Jessie was humming Mozart's Valencia waltz, and Meowth was drinking a brand new Alcaholic Pina Colada. Far behind was James, carrying the Harp on his back.

Soon, Jessie and Meowth ran to the Rocket Grunt who was standing on Route 1 guarding the hideout.

"How are things?", asked Jessie, and Meowth, who was drunk, just stood there.
"Not good at all.", said the Grunt.
"How bad?", asked Jessie, knowing that when Giovanni was mad, Giovanni was mad.
"If you don't have the harp he will literaly have his Swalot swallow you whole.", said the Rocket Grunt.

Soon, James came into view, carrying the huge gold harp on his back.

"Well, in our case we have succeeded! Here is the harp! Grunt, open the hideout, and we will march in!", said Jessie.

The Grunt quickly dug and Jessie marched in the hideout proudly, with James and Meowth behind.

Giovanni was lying on his bed, punching his bed. Muk was lying on the ground talking to Weezing and Swalot.

"Good day, Chancellor!", said Jessie, bowing on the ground, as Meowth bowed.
"Where is it?"
"Sir, we have it! We finally defeated that twerp! We have Celebi's harp!", said Jessie.

Giovanni, and his only three Pokemon, which were Muk, Weezing, and Swalot, which was his strongest, were grinning wildly as James handed him Celebi's harp. "Oh, my God, finally! I have power in my hands! I am holding power in my hands! YES! YES! May Evil bless you, Jessie, and James! For you, I have a special prize, for both of you!", said Giovanni, as he, Swalot, Muk, and Weezing followed Team Rocket's boss as he went into a closet, where there was nothing but two Pokeballs in cages.

"I was saving these for the day that you two would actually not defy me!", said Giovanni, taking the two cages out, leaving the closet now empty.

Jessie and James grinned from ear to ear! They were finally going to get new Pokemon!

"Some of my grunts stole these two Pokemon from the Blackthorn Gym in the Johto state.", said Giovanni, taking the Pokeballs out from the cages, and using his extra Silph Dissapearer to make the two cages dissapear into thin air.

He gave one of the Pokeballs to Jessie and one of the Pokeballs to James.

"These are your new Pokemon!", said Giovanni. "I have had it with you only battling with the same Pokemon over and over again. Its time that you used your old Beautifly and Dustox and these new Pokemon.", said Giovanni.

Jessie took out her Pokeball from her waist, and threw it on the ground, overjoyed. The light formed into a pretty small Pokemon. It was brown, and it was something like an ant eater. It had small black eyes and went around.

"How beautiful!", said Jessie, picking up her Pokemon and petting it. "What is it?"

"That, Jessie, is your newest Pokemon. It is called a Trapinch. It is a dual ground/dragon type, and evolves into one of the strongest Pokemon in the world.", said Giovanni.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs116.png

"Trapinch, welcome to the team!", said Jessie.

Trapinch said its name and starting biting Jessie's hair.

"AAAHHHHH! GET IT OFF ME!", said Jessie, as she recalled Trapinch back into its Pokeball. "Its cute and strong, but it hurts.", said Jessie. Giovanni chuckled.

"Well, Jessie has a Trapinch, now, James, you try yours out!", said Giovanni.

"Go, Pokeball!", said James, throwing out his Pokeball. The light formed into a small Pokemon, with a sturdy head and a purple body.

"What is it? Its so cute!", said James, squealing.

"That, James, is a Bagon. It is a dragon type and extremely strong. It evolves into one of the strongest Pokemon in the world!", said Giovanni.

"Welcome, Bagon! Hi!", said James, hugging his Bagon.

Bagon said its name and starting shaking hands with James.


http://www.pokemasters.net/images/games/ruby_sapphire/rs187.png

"So polite!", said James, but screamed when Bagon started squeezing his hand.

James recalled Bagon, and now, with new Pokemon, Giovanni told them to hi-jack the Pewter Museum and steal the picture of Celebi from the museum. Giovanni put the harp in the closet. He then retired to his bed and fell in a deep sleep.


*

The museum was beautiful. It was painted beige, and had a lot of beautiful, windows and also some French doors. It was made in old Greek architecture, and there was a lot of people outside of it. Tracey entered inside, he could not wait to enter. Even if he had to pay a small fee, it was worth seeing all the ancient Pokemon art that was said to rest here.

Tracey entered the beautiful museum. As he entered, he smelled a wonderful fresh taste of paint and inhaled. Of course, he didn't realize that he was getting high on the paint. :D

Tracey walked up to the receptionist.

"Hello, there. 650 Yen please!", said the receptionist.

Tracey dug into his wallet and took out 650 yen, handing it to the receptionist. He then entered, and started looking at the various art pieces.

There were a lot of people crowded around many pictures, but he noticed that one wall was completely empty of people.

He saw the 'Wobba Lisa', which was a beautiful picture painted by Arnold Da Vinci in Valencia Island during the Renaissance, which was from 1500 - 1789 A.D. His father Drew had written a whole book about this art piece.

Of course, this museum shriveled in size to the Lillycove Museum, which was in the distant peninsula of Hoenn.

Suddenly, Tracey saw a picture hanging on the wall with no people near it. He went there and saw an actual photograph of the legendary Celebi. Tracey looked. This beautiful green legendary looked like it was about to flee, but Tracey looked behind the Celebi and saw in the photo that there was a harp there, in the distance, the harp under Rocket Hands.

Almost immediatly, Tracey heard voices from the front door of the msueum.

"Konnichiwa, everybody!"
"Allow us to introduce ourselves!"
"Prepare for Trouble"
"Make it double!"
"To protect the world from devistation!"
"To unite the 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!"
"Meowth, that's right!"

"Like our new motto? It 's grand!", said Jessie, laughing.

"Oh no! Its Team Rocket!", said a spectator.

"Ooh! I feel so powerful!", said James as he flexed his muscles, though it was all flab.

"Get out of here! This place isn't for you!", yelled Tracey, his fist clenched.
"We don't have time for idiots like you anymore! We are now strong and better, so leave! BYE!", said Jessie.
James and Meowth, who was drinking a Pina-Colada, laughed.
"Now, we'll show you how mean we can be! Go, Beautifly and Trapinch!", said Jessie, as she threw 2 Pokeballs out. "Yes, go Dustox and Bagon!", said James, as he likewise threw out two Pokeballs.
Tracey was nervous, as Meowth finished his Pina Colada.

"What? Jessie now has a Trapinch and James has a Bagon?", said Tracey, astonished.

Almost immediatly, Trapinch started biting Jessie's hair and Bagon started shaking James' hand and squeezing it.

"How cute are you?", said Jessie and James, as they started hugging their new Pokemon.

"Now, first, we'll start off with this! Beautifly, Sleep Powder!", commanded Jessie, as Beautifly started spreading out a white powder from its graceful wings.

Tracey slowly ran to the back of the museum and hid.

Soon, everyone in the museum (except Tracey and Team Rocket) were in a deep slumber.

"Now, paralyze them, Dustox, Stun Spore!", said James, as Dustox used a yellow powder from its wings, making everyone stay in their exact positions.

"Now, Trapinch, use your Arena Trap ability to make sure they all can't flee!", said Jessie, as Trapinch used its first attack ever. Its eyes glew red and so did all the people. Trapinch's eyes stopped glowing, and nobody could now escape.

"Now, Bagon, use Dig! Destroy this place!", said James, as his Bagon dug underground and started destroying the foundation of the museum. Bagon now came up.

"Great job!", said James.

"Meowth, Slash them all on the face!", said James, as Meowth said "That's right!" and started slashing all the people except Tracey.

Jessie ran and got the photo of Celebi and after James set a bomb in the museum, they ran away, out of the museum. Team Rocket had stole Celebi's picture and they set a bomb in the museum!

Since Trapinch hadn't used Arena Trap on Tracey, he escaped from the museum, managing to take out his 650 yen from the cash register before it was too late.

He ran as fast as he could into Pewter. He ran into Officer Jenny's police station, as he knew the bomb would blow in 5 minutes.

"Officer Jenny!", said Tracey, panting.

Jenny and her Growlithe looked at Tracey. "What happened?", asked Jenny.

"Team Rocket... they set a bomb in the museum!", said Tracey.

Without a word, Jenny and Growlithe got in their cycle, put Tracey in the back, and started zooming off towards the museum.

Suddenly, the bomb blew. The Museum was destroyed. Officer Jenny and Tracey along with Jenny's Growlithe saw the whole thing happen. Everybody in there died. Team Rocket had escaped with the Celebi picture, and the museum was destroyed.

Tracey got down and started crying, as Jenny and Growlithe started to comfort him.
























Stay tuned for Chapter 49, up on Thursday, entitled Mr. O'Keefe!

-Tracey meets Mr. O'Keefe
"I had three Linoone, now two are dead! At least my strongest Linoone and favorite one is still alive, but my other two Linoone are dead! Why! They used the guard the harp 24/7! And I would visit them!", said Mr. O'Keefe, for the eighth time. Tracey was getting tired of him reciting the same speech over and over again.

-Officer Jenny's investigation
"What else do you know about these two, Tracey? They are liable to getting the death penalty, therefore we have to find them.", said Officer Jenny.
"They also killed three of my Linoone! I had three Linoone, now two are dead! At least my strongest Linoone and favorite one is still alive, but my other two Linoone are dead! Why! They used the guard...", started Mr. O'Keefe, but Tracey cut him in half.
"I know where they went, knowing Team Rocket they escaped to the next town, Cerulean City.", said Tracey.

-The road to Mt. Moon
Continuing on his venture to Route 3 and Mt. Moon, Tracey saw a small piece of a Team Rocket uniform by the rocky cliff. He picked up the white uniform and looked. He knew that Team Rocket had been here, and he had to get that harp back, no matter what the consenquence was.

Watch out for Chapter 49, on Thursday!

[Dewgongtears]

That was a cool chapter.

I like Bagon and Trapinch already on how they act it is very funny. Yet if they do train them they will be very strong in their last stage.

I Kinda fell bad for all the people who died but I know that Tracey will get back at Team Rocket for their deaths.

And Team Rocket again that funny with Giovanni also.

Good Chapter

[Dragon_Claw]

very good story. From a happy story this has gone to a more serious story, and I like it much better this way. Just one thing, try not to make every town to many chapters, I have done this, and I have 2 badges with something like 25 chapters. Try to avoid that, and you'll be fine...

I like TR's new Pokemon, and i like the gags that go with them. Bagon squeezes James' hand and Trapinch bites Jessie's hair (oh, and Trapinch isn't a dragon type ... it becomes a dragon after it evolves). Keep writting, this was a good chapter.

[DannyBoy]

Great Chapter! I love team rockets new pokemon! You are really making them seem like evil villans. That makes it more intresting to see with a storyw ith them in it. Good length and description and I cant wait to see what happens next! Keep it up!

[BlueKecleon]

Man, what a rip-off lol.

Good chapter.

[SneaselReborned]

Haha good chapter.

Its really sad that now TR are coldblooded murderers...ah well...

But why didn't they hit Tracey? Its kinda odd, because Tracey is like the person who always causes them trouble.

DewgongTears ~ Thanks for reading! Ya, Bagon and Trapinch are pretty good already, imagine how they will act when they evolve?

Dragon_Claw ~ Okay, thanks! I'll take that into consideration. To tell the truth, Cerulean City is gonna be long as well, as is Vermillion, Celadon, and Saffron. Fuchsia will only be two chapters, Seafoam Island will be 1 chapter, and I think Cinnabar and the end of the league will be long as well...

RJDude ~ Thanks for readin'! Well, in my fic it is, just to let ya know, it can also use dragon attacks. Thanks, though.

ILoveX-Tina ~ Thanks a lot! Ya, TR are really evil in this fic.

BlueKecleon ~ LOL, thanks. :D

SneaselReborned ~ Thanks! Well, Tracey hid in the back of the museum, they didn't see him. If they did, however, they surely would have hit him as well. Thanks for readin!

BTW, if you guys noticed I changed the Next on Preview because some people here are Irish, and I didn't want to offend anybody. Plus, there are no such places as Ireland and Northern Ireland in the Pokemon World! :D

[Hanada Tattsu]

Okay tommorow is Chapter 49 and Chapter Preview 50. Here's another small preview.

-Tracey meets up with some of his friends.
As Tracey walked on towards the rocky road of Route 3, he looked and saw a huge moutain in front of him. This was Mt. Moon. It was a huge, lush mountain, and he saw a tunnel entrance right in front of him. Suddenly, he saw outside of the cave a girl with a red dress and a red bandana, and also a girl with a yellow shirt and aquq suspender straps. It was May and Misty!

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 49: Mr. O'Keefe

By Hanada

Today was the third day Tracey had spent in Pewter City. He laid in his bed in the Pewter City Pokemon Center Room #12. He had a pretty big suite. It was on the second floor. As you entered, there was a bathroom to your left, and as you continued walking a pretty big bed to your right, with a bedside table to the left. Continuing on there was a mini-kitchen, a computer, a television and a video phone.

After seeing the bomb explode in the Pewter Museum killing everyone, Tracey had almost gone crazy. Nurse Joy and Chansey had cured him, using Heal Bell, so Tracey realized that he had gotten somewhat better. Tracey got out of bed. He took of his pajamas and put on his regular clothes. He walked toward the kitchen and prepared some breakfast, a meal of eggs and potatoes.

It was ten o'clock by the time Tracey finished eating, so he left the room, said goodbye to Nurse Joy, and head toward Mr. O'Keefe's house, which is the last destination he wanted to visit before heading out of Pewter City.

As Tracey walked to the west side of town, he could see the ruins of the Museum, but he walked briskly on. He soon saw a small house resting near a hill at the very edge of town. It was a small, brown cottage, with two windows and a neat door. Tracey read the address on the door: 4800 Stone Street, Pewter City, Kanto, 18343-1243. Over the address was written the name "Mr. David O'Keefe".

Tracey knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened and a man with red hair and a freckled face opened the door. He had a tired face, he looked about 50 or 60, and had neat, natural red hair. His watery blue eyes were surprised at seeing Tracey. A Linoone sat on the left side of him. It looked very experienced.

"You must be Tracey Sketchit!" said the man, grinning, and inviting Tracey inside.

The cottage was beautiful, made of wood. There was a couch and a coffee table in the center of the room, with a television. There was a desk and a computer, and on the opposite side was a video phone.

In another room was the restroom and the bedroom, and a beautiful kitchen was on one side.

"How did you know my name?" asked Tracey, surprised.

"Mrs. Delchy and her Misdreavus told me all about you!" said Mr. O'Keefe. Suddenly, he started sobbing, as did his Linoone.

"Whatever is the matter, Mr. O'Keefe?" asked Tracey, feeling sympathy for the old man.

"Before, I used to be a trainer, I had three Zigzagoon. Soon, all three evolved at different times to Linoone. This Linoone is my strongest." said Mr. O'Keefe, pointing to his Linoone at his feet, "Two of my Linoone used to guard Celebi's Harp in Viridian Forest 24/7, I would visit them twice a day. Eventually, some thieves murdered them! Now, I have only one Linoone remaining!"

Mr. O'Keefe sat down on his couch and started crying. He then started coughing violently, and Tracey ran to the kitchen and got some water for Mr. O'Keefe. Mr. O'Keefe drank the water, and felt better.

"How about we walk a bit around Pewter? I'm sure you and your Linoone need to forget about the tragedy.", said Tracey.

"No, no! I can't!" said Mr. O'Keefe, as Tracey looked on at Mr. O'Keefe's confused face.

"Why?" asked Tracey, confused.

"I am expecting Officer Jenny, she is coming to inquire about this so-called Team Rocket that bombed the museum and killed my two Linoone.", said Mr. O'Keefe, but he started again.

"I had three Linoone, now two are dead! At least my strongest Linoone and favorite one is still alive, but my other two Linoone are dead! Why! They used the guard the harp 24/7! And I would visit them!", said Mr. O'Keefe, for the eighth time. Tracey was getting tired of him reciting the same speech over and over again.

Suddenly, Tracey heard a motorcycle drving up to Mr. O'Keefe's house. The motorcycle stopped, and the doorbell rang. Mr. O'Keefe ran to the door and opened the door, and Officer Jenny entered, her Growlithe by her side.

"Hello, Officer Jenny, please, do come in.", said Mr. O'Keefe, inviting the officer in.

"Thank you, sir.", said Jenny.

Growlithe and Linoone started talking.

"Oh, Tracey, I didn't know you were visiting Mr. O'Keefe!", said Officer Jenny.

"Yeah, I just got here!", said Tracey.

"Well, I'll get straight to the point. Team Rocket has killed your two Linoone, Mr. O'Keefe..." but before she could finish, Mr. O'Keefe started up again, but Tracey cut him in half, "I can help, Team Rocket have been stalking me for a year, and I know a lot about them!"

"You do? Tell me all about them.", said Jenny, taking down notes.

"Well, the lady has red hair and her name is Jessie. The male has blue hair and is named James. They have a pet Meowth who always drinks Pina Colada's. Jessie has a Beautifly and a Trapinch, and James has a Dustox and a Bagon." said Tracey proudly.

"What else do you know about these two, Tracey? They are liable to getting the death penalty, therefore we have to find them.", said Officer Jenny.
"They also killed two of my Linoone! I had three Linoone, now two are dead! At least my strongest Linoone and favorite one is still alive, but my other two Linoone are dead! Why! They used the guard...", started Mr. O'Keefe, but Tracey cut him in half.
"I know where they went, knowing Team Rocket they escaped to the next town, Cerulean City.", said Tracey.

"You do? Well, that's unfortunately out of my operating zone. My younger sister in Cerulean can help, but by the time she gets the message, they may escape to Saffron or Vermillion.", said Jenny.

"I can go get them.", said Tracey, living up to the challenge.

"Are you nuts? They've already killed a whole museum full of people and two Linoone!", said Jenny.

"Yes, they killed two of my...", but before Mr. O'Keefe could finish, Tracey left the house, heading to Cerulean City to get his next badge and to get Team Rocket.

"Be careful.", whispered Jenny.

Tracey left Pewter City after three days. He was now on Route 3, which was very rocky. It was very narrow, and on Route 3 there were sharp rocky cliffs on both sides. Tracey walked on, intent on catching up to Team Rocket.


*

Jessie, James, and Meowth were ahead of Tracey on Route 3. Jessie and Meowth walked on briskly, while James carried the picture in his hand.

"Jessie, why do I always have to carry the picture?" said James.

"Oh, shut up.", said Jessie, walking on.

Suddenly, James tripped over a rock. He tackled Jessie and she was pushed against the rocky cliff. Some of her uniform was torn, and without noticing the torn cloth on the floor she slapped James.

They ran towards Route 3, and hid behind a bush until nightfall.

Continuing on his venture to Route 3 and Mt. Moon, Tracey saw a small piece of a Team Rocket uniform by the rocky cliff. He picked up the white uniform and looked. He knew that Team Rocket had been here, and he had to get that harp back, no matter what the consenquence was.

As Tracey walked on towards the rocky road of Route 3, he looked and saw a huge moutain in front of him. This was Mt. Moon. It was a huge, lush mountain, and he saw a tunnel entrance right in front of him. Suddenly, he saw outside of the cave a girl with a red dress and a red bandana, and also a girl with a yellow shirt and aquq suspender straps. It was May and Misty!


To Be Continued...




























Watch out for Chapter 50, coming up on Saturday, entitled Mt. Moon Showdown!

-Tracey, May, and Misty venture through Mt. Moon
Tracey and Misty walked on through Mt. Moon, as May, scared by the dark cave, walked behind, slowly and surely. It was already nightfall, so the cave started getting even more darker than it would during day. Electrode's Flash had gotten very powerful, as the light glowed from its mouth and eyes. May's Flaffy's tail glew yellow, as it used its own Flash. Misty's Pikachu's red cheecks glew yellow as well.

-May makes a new catch, or does she?
"Okay, Flaffy, use your Cotton Spore!", said May, as Flaffy glew green and tackled the small Cleffa, making the Pokemon attack slowler. Cleffa small fist glew white as it punched Flaffy back, using its Meteor Punch technique.
"Flaffy, use Iron Tail!", cried May as Flaffy's tail glew gray and it tackled Cleffa, knocking it back.

-Team Rocket vs. May and Misty
"Now, where is the twerp named Tracey?", asked Jessie, angirly.
"Tracey left towards Cerulean, we're training here in Mt. Moon!", yelled Misty angrily.
"Oh, sure! Well, we can just steal your Pokemon instead of his! Go, Trapinch!", said Jessie, sending out Trapinch.
"Go, Bagon!", said James, sending out his new Bagon.
Trapinch started gowing crazy and biting Jessie's hair, and James' Bagon started squeezing James' hand like crazy.

Watch out for Chapter 50, Mt. Moon Showdown!, coming up Saturday!

[Dewgongtears]

That was a good chapter Hananda but the next one looks good too. I hope that May chatches that Cleffa that would be a cool pokemon to her team. Great Chapter again.

[DannyBoy]

Good Chapter! It described whats going on and what will happen to Jessie and James. Now Tracys got another goal to catch them and make sure they get what they deserve. Good length and description. Keep it up!

[RJdude]

Good chapter... I feel bad for Mr. O'Keef, with his Linoones dying. Yeah, and May should catch Cleffa, it would suit her... I wonder when Tracey's going to make his next catch.

Hey Hanada, just popping in for a quick peek!

You've gathered some readers, and the fics coming along great! Nice to see another Kanto fic besides TIR! Keep it up, i'm liking that Bagon (more 'mature' than Krystals ;)), Machop and Trapinch get some needed spotlight as UU Fic Pokies!

See ya!

[pokemonrule13]

Hey, good chapters. This is becoming a really good fic. I like the new pokemon Team ROcket has gotten. It is a big step-up from arbok. weezing, and the others they have had. Tracy really cares about getting back the harp, he doesn't have to do this and he is and that shows he is a good person!

The Kanto Pokemon Federation
Chapter 50 – Mt. Moon Showdown
By Hanada


Tracey saw May and Misty resting near the entrance of Mt. Moon, as the great entrance towered over them. May looked the same, she still wore the same red bandana and had her long, flowing brown hair. Her Pokemon were all out. Marill was out, talking with her friend of a long time, Combusken. Both Pokemon looked much better in terms of training, and has gained some experience, obviously. May’s new Flaffy, who still had a small yellow bell on its neck was sitting down, and talking with May’s Pokemon she had gotten from Proffesor Oak, Makuhita. The Makuhita looked pretty fat, but looked strong too.

Misty too, had gotten bigger. She wore the same clothes, but she looked better, in Tracey’s opinion. Her Pokemon were also out. Her Poliwhirl had gained muscle, and was talking to Misty’s Pikachu, who looked very happy. Her Sunkern was talking to Misty’s Pokemon she had gotten from Oak, Meditite, who looked like an ape.

Tracey took his Pokemon out. Seadra, Electrode, and Charmeleon all came out and started immediately talking, they hadn’t for a long time. Machop came out, looking around for Tracey. He then saw him and punched him in the stomach, as Tracey yelled. Machop then joined the other Pokemon. May and Misty noticed and ran over to Tracey.

“Hiya, Tracey!”, said May, not caring about Machop’s attack. However, Misty ran over and started massaging his stomach, worried about her secret crush. “You okay, Tracey?”, asked Misty, nervous.

“Yeah, Machop didn’t mean to do what it did,” said Tracey, as May and Misty admired Tracey’s new Pokemon.

“So, did you get a badge?”, asked May. She and Misty took out their Badge cases. Inside was a Boulder Badge, as Tracey took his out.

“We’re heading for Cerulean, but we wanna do some training in this cave.”, said Misty. May added that she wanted to catch a Clefable, which was very rare.

“A Clefable?” asked Tracey, as May nodded.

“Those Pokemon are so cute!” said May, as Misty rolled their eyes.

Soon, they recalled their Pokemon. May just kept her Flaffy out, so it can use Flash to light up the rather dark Mt. Moon and also for protection. They entered the dark cave, and like Viridian Forest, they couldn’t see a thing.

“Flaffy, use your Flash attack!”, said May, as Flaffy’s tail glew a bright white. It then glew yellow and the whole cave was lighted up. There were Geodude and Nosepass walking around everywhere. Zubat and Golbat were flying up in the rocky cave.

Suddenly, from nowhere, a huge Onix tackled Flaffy, knocking its tail and making the cave dark again.

“Woah,” said Tracey. They had to be careful, since Onix tackled Flaffy, the Flash dissapeared. Now, Onix could strike them. Suddenly, they heard a female voice.

“Venusaur, use Leaf Blade and get that Onix out of here,” said the voice, and they heard a Venusaur growl. The Onix and the Venusaur fought in the dark until the lady in the dark ordered Venusaur to return and mysteriously left.

“Who was that?” asked Tracey, but May and Misty were too scared to think about it. Tracey and Misty decided to release their electric types so they could use Flash as well, since they obviously needed more protection.

Tracey and Misty walked on through Mt. Moon, as May, scared by the dark cave, walked behind, slowly and surely. It was already nightfall, so the cave started getting even more darker than it would during day. Electrode's Flash had gotten very powerful, as the light glowed from its mouth and eyes. May's Flaffy's tail glew yellow, as it used its own Flash. Misty's Pikachu's red cheecks glew yellow as well.

As the people and Pokemon walked on through the dark Mt. Moon, May saw a small piece of pinkish white hiding behind a small boulder.

“What is that?” asked May, as she went up behind the rock. Behind the rock was a small pinkish Pokemon. May blushed and screamed, almost scaring the Pokemon.

“What is it?” asked Tracey, as he and Misty, along with Electrode and Pikachu, ran over.

“It’s a Cleffa! This eventually evolves into a cute Clefable!” said May, as she picked up the Cleffa in her arms and started hugging it.

The Cleffa was angered, so it used a Doubleslap attack on May, slapping her silly. When Cleffa was done with her, May’s two cheeks were red. However, May was angry.

“I’m gonna catch you! Hit it, Flaffy!”, said May ordering her Flaffy to get on the field of battle. Flaffy waddled over, and went in front of the small Cleffa.

“Flaffy, start off with your Thunderbolt!”, ordered May, as Flaffy’s tail again glew yellow and it fired an electric attack at Cleffa, who dodged it, hiding behind the rock.

When it was all clear, Cleffa ran up to Flaffy and slapped it twice, making Flaffy’s cheeks red with its Doubleslap ability. Now, May was mad.

"Okay, Flaffy, use your Cotton Spore!", said May, as Flaffy glew green and tackled the small Cleffa, making the Pokemon attack slowler. Cleffa small fist glew white as it punched Flaffy back, using its Meteor Punch technique.
"Flaffy, use Iron Tail!", cried May as Flaffy's tail glew gray and it tackled Cleffa, knocking it back.

“Now, finish it with Thunderbolt!” said May, as Flaffy’s tail again glew yellow and it fired the electric attack, knocking Cleffa out.

“Go, Love Ball!” commanded May, as she threw the Pink Love Ball at Cleffa. It was sucked in, and the ball shook five times, before Cleffa was caught! May picked up her newly captured Cleffa and laughed madly. She then released the small Cleffa, which was now hers.

“Hi, there, Cleffa!” said May, as she hugged the small Cleffa. Cleffa hugged Misty back.

“That thing is ugly. I prefer Igglybuff,” said Misty, as Tracey nodded. May, angered was surprised as Cleffa slapped Misty, but then hugged her. They both laughed.

After much walking, they reached the end of the rather short cave.

“Well, Cerulean City is right out there,” said May, as Misty nodded.

“Thanks, I’m gonna earn my next badge! See ya!” said Tracey, as he recalled Electrode and walked out of the cave toward Cerulean.

“Bye!” waved Misty, May, Flaffy, Pikachu, and Cleffa, who was in May’s arms in unison.

As they walked back into the cave, May and Misty noticed Team Rocket looking at them!

“What are you nitwits doing here?” asked May angirly, as Misty nodded.

“Konnichiwa!”
“Allow us to introduce ourselves”
“Prepare for trouble”
“Make it double”
“To protect the world from devistation”
“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”
“Meowth, that’s right”

"Now, where is the twerp named Tracey?", asked Jessie, angirly.
"Tracey left towards Cerulean, we're training here in Mt. Moon!", yelled Misty angrily.
"Oh, sure! Well, we can just steal your Pokemon instead of his! Go, Trapinch!", said Jessie, sending out Trapinch.
"Go, Bagon!", said James, sending out his new Bagon.
Trapinch started gowing crazy and biting Jessie's hair, and James' Bagon started squeezing his hand.

“Fine, then, if you want a battle, you’ll get one, go Poliwhirl!” commanded Misty, as she threw out Poliwhirl’s Dive Ball, as it flexed its muscles.

“Yea, go, Cleffa!” said May, as Cleffa walked out bravely on to the field of battle.

“Trapinch, tackle that stuffed animal!” said Jessie, as her Trapinch started running like crazy toward Cleffa. Cleffa looked nervous.

“Cleffa, use a Meteor Punch!” commanded May, as Cleffa’s arm glew white. Cleffa punched Trapinch, knocking it back.

“Bagon, use your Take Down!” commanded James, as Bagon too moved even faster toward May’s Poliwhirl.

“Poliwhirl, Ice Punch!” said Misty, as James and Jessie knew they were in for it. Poliwhirl’s white arm glew icy white and it punched Bagon making it frozen.

“Cleffa, you too!” said May, as Cleffa, who knew it would win, punched Trapinch hard, who collided into Jessie and James, as they blasted off.

Now, May and Misty continued training their Pokemon in Mt. Moon, while Tracey headed on toward Cerulean City.

[Dragon_Claw]

This was a rather short chapter, nothing wrong with that. But I know you can do better then this, Hanada.

Altough, it's strange that a Cleffa and Poliwhirl defeated Bagon and Trapinch. Keep it up, and try a little harder next time...

[DannyBoy]

Good CHapter! Cleffa will be a cool pokemon that will be in the chapters now. It was a little short but good with good description. Keep it up!

[RJdude]

I'm glad May caught Cleffa, it suits her... I wonder who the Venusaur belonged to... hmmm....

[SneaselReborned]

...you're going down the "team rocket's blasting off" path again...noooo

like, seriously, a "meteor punch" is not going to make two adults fly into the air like birds...yeah...riight...okay...goodie


though i do think you should not have let may catch the cleffa (i don't like may), i think it does suit her. hmm...wonder what'll happen in cerulean...

also, TR was in front of Tracey, right? so how come they were at the cave entrance when may and misty came out of the cave?

[Dewgongtears]

This was a cool chapter and that Cleffa is going to be good in later in chapters. Good job Hanada on this chapter. I also agree on that Cleffa is a good pokemon for May.

I know some of you may be slightly miffed at Hanada's blasting off, but I, for one, don't mind at all, and TR is a big nag I always give to writers.

As you can plainly tell scowering the boards, Hanada is a huge fan of Horsea. Hanada Tattsu translates to Cerulean Horsea, and as Tracey's first Pokemon was a Horsea then it's blatantly obvious this fanfic is a reflection of his favourite Pokemon.

Now, as Hanada is an anime mod, you can also expect an element of his writing to be reflected from the anime itself. This is a literal FANfic, where a story is written using characters the reader is already familliar with, IE: Basign a story on an idea that is not necesserily yours. Loads of people do it.

Team Rocket are in, so It makes perfect sense for them to blast off anime-style. I hope you can understand this as eisily as me.



ps: No flame wars, this is my 2cents, so I don't want people attacking me because of my opinion >__<, I'm TRYING (hehe) to look professional.....

Shiny Marill: Thanks so much for standing up for me. He is absoluteuly (sp?) correct. Team Rocket blasting off is what happens in the anime, and I want to give it the same colour as what happens in the anime.

Now, with no further ado, Chapter 51!


The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 51 - Motohashi

By Hanada

Team Rocket

Jessie, James, and Meowth walked down the path from Viridian Forest to the Boss' hideout on Route 1 near Viridian Forest. They had indeed been blasted off by May and Misty, but they had still stole the picture from the currently destroyed Pewter Museum.

Jessie walked in front, holding the framed picture of Celebi and the harp in her hands. Trapinch walked next to her, on her left side. It was looking up at the trees, and then hungirly staring up at Jessie's hair, but he knew that if he bit her hair, she would beat him up.

James walked behind with Meowth. Meowth was sipping a Pina Colada, but James' hand was purple and bruised, Bagon had squeezed it so much that it had practically turned purple. So, he had taken the safe side and let out Dustox for the time being. It fluttered around behind the group.

Soon, Jessie saw the Rocket Grunt behind the trees on Route 1 and ran up to him.

"Dig the hole, Grunt, we have suceeded!" said Jessie, as the Rocket Grunt quickly started digging the hole leading to the hideout. Jessie recalled Trapinch, but James kept Dustox out.

As they entered, they noticed Giovanni sitting on the couch. Weezing and Muk were recalled, but Gulpin was sitting with Giovanni, as Giovanni read the history of Kanto. From the early Johto invasions, followed by the 200 year 'Anschulss' era when Kanto was part of Valencia Island, but then liberated. Now, Kanto was a free nation.

As Team Rocket entered, Giovanni closed his book and looked up.

"Where is it?" asked Giovanni.

Jessie gave the picture with Celebi to Giovanni, and he looked up at Jessie and James, grinning. Dustox and Meowth just stayed back.

Giovanni's look was asking Jessie and James if they had blown up the museum, and Jessie nodded. Not one word of dialouge had been exchanged.

Giovanni got up. He went to the corner of the room where Celebi's harp lay, standing up. He took the picture and hung it up just above the harp.

"Do you like it, Chancellor?" asked Jessie, trembling.

"You two are so evil it is just refreshing." nodded Giovanni, as Jessie and James silently cheered.

"That is why I'm not going to station you in this country of weaklings any longer. Kanto is too weak for you, however, the Orange Islands are where you are going to go next." said Giovanni.

"WHAT?" asked Jessie and James, very loud as Meowth almost choked on his Pina Colada and Dustox almost forgot how to fly.

"Yes. I am enlisting you on Operation Faberge." said Giovanni, as Jessie and James looked at each other confused.

"What exactly is Operation Faberge?" asked James, confused.

"You will go to the Tsar's palace in Valencia Island and steal the Faberge Jewels. Then, you will go raid other islands' homes and steal the valuables. When finished, you will return to Kanto. By that time, my hideout will be in Saffron City, northeast of here. DO NOT FAIL ME." said Giovanni, angirly.

"Yes, SIR!" chanted Jessie and James.

"Now, your boat for Valencia leaves this evening, in Pallet Dock. Do not return until you suceed." said Giovanni, as he gave Jessie, James, and Meowth three ferry tickets, and he ushered them out.

Jessie, James, and Meowth, along with Dustox, sad but anxious, walked on to Pallet Town Port, where they would start a new expedition in The Orange Islands.

Tracey

Tracey, already out of Mt. Moon, had recalled Electrode, and was walking along Route 4 to go to Cerulean City, where he would get his second Kanto badge. Route 4 was the exact opposite of Route 3, it was a lush route, with flowery gardens on both sides of the small road. If a few thousand citizens and some businesses were posted here, it would a mini-version of Qamkouad Island.

As Tracey walked on, he noticed it was getting quite dark. He set camp at the edge of the route. He got some firewood from the nearby gardens, which surprised him, as firewood is almost never found in gardens, but there were a lot of Sudowoodo here, so he figured that it belonged to a Sudowoodo.

As Tracey made a campfire, he sent out his Pokemon. Seadra, with its black eyes shining in the moonlight, stood looking on the fire, it looked very tired. Electrode and Charmeleon were talking non-stop, Tracey wondered what they were talking about. Machop ran around looking for Tracey, and then socked him in the stomach. It then started quietly talking to Seadra.

Soon, Tracey saw a young man of about the age of 27 running along the road. He was running terribly fast. As Tracey saw him get nearer, he noticed that the man had black hair with a shade of red in them. He was Japanese, and was wearing a suit. He was very muscular, and had a red piece of paper in his hands.

"Uh, hello, do you need any help?" asked Tracey, as he went to help the man. As he neared, the man quickly put the red piece of paper away.

"Oh, no, thanks." said the man.

"By the way, I'm Tracey Sketchit, from Valencia Island." said Tracey, shaking his hand.

"Oh, glad to meet you, I'm Motohashi Kodama, from Saffron City, and this is my only Pokemon, Porygon." said Motohashi, as a Porygon appeared next to him. Tracey had never noticed the Porygon next to Motohashi when he was running.

"You'll have to excuse Porygon, he's very shy when he's around people." said Motohashi.

"Oh, by the way, Motohashi, why were you in a rush." asked Tracey.

"Oh, I was just... um... running to the... nearest Pokemon Center, I guess..." said Motohashi.

"Well, it looks like it's gonna rain, why don't you camp out here for the night?" asked Tracey.

"Sure." said Motohashi, as they got everything ready for bed.

Team Rocket

"Well, I guess this is the last we'll see of Kanto," exclaimed James, as he, Jessie, Meowth, and Dustox neared the Pallet Port.

"Why do you say that?" asked Meowth, as Dustox nodded.

"Well, the boss said that if we don't succeed, we don't ever need to come back to Kanto." said James.

"We will succeed! All we have to do is break into the Kremlin and steal some Faberge Eggs!" said Jessie.

"Exactly. You know how many guards guard that place?" asked Jessie.

"ALL ABOARD" said the captain of the ship. The people leaving for Valencia all boarded the ship. Team Rocket were the last to board.

"Well, goodbye, Kanto!" said James, as he, Jessie, Meowth, and Dustox boarded the ship.

The ship soon sailed on through the Pallet Sea, heading off for Valencia Island and a new life for Jessie, James, and Meowth of Team Rocket.

Tracey & Motohashi

"So, do you have any family?" asked Tracey, as Motohashi, Tracey, and all their Pokemon sat around the fire. Seadra had taken quite a liking to Porygon, they sat talking all the while. Electrode and Charmeleon were discussing the firewood around these parts, and Machop was staring out to the distance.

"Well, my mother does live in Kanto, but my father was assasinated a long time ago. You see, he was a senator, and people didn't like him, so they killed him. I loved him a lot." said Motohashi, staring out to the distance.

"I had a brother, but he was killed by the legendary birds, who for some reason were put under a stance or something." said Tracey, tears in his eyes.

"Tracey, I have to ask you something." said Motohashi.

"Sure." said Tracey.

"May I travel with you? You seem like a very nice person, and I'd really like to travel with you." said Motohashi.

"Well, of course. I get lonely sometimes, and it looks like my Seadra, Charmeleon, Electrode, and Machop have really taken a liking to your Porygon.

"Well, you did win the Orange League. I'm traveling for Kanto badges too, you know. I have a Boulder Badge that I won last night from Brock in Pewter." said Motohashi, looking at Mt. Moon nevously.

Tracey noticed this, but he just showed Motohashi his badge case too and now they both had something in common, that they both owned a Boulder Badge.

"Well, I'm very tired, let's set off tommorow to Cerulean." said Tracey.

Tracey, in his clothes, lay in his sleeping bag, looking up at the stars.

Motohashi, though, was obviously not used to traveling with people. He took off his suit, his tie, and his shirt, and lay shirtless in his sleeping bag. His muscules glimmered in the moonlight. Tracey tried not to look.

He soon also took his pants off and lay in nothing but his boxers in his sleeping bag. He was about to take his boxers off but he noticed that Tracey was feeling very uncomfortable.

"Gomen Nasai, I'm not used to traveling with people." said Motohashi, but he took his boxers off anyway, and lay completely naked in his sleeping bag. Tracey was going to barf. He turned around, and went to sleep.

Misty & May

May and Misty were camping out about ten miles south on Route 4, south of where Motohashi and Tracey were sleeping. The fire was still burning, and May and Misty lay in their sleeping bags. Cleffa was out, looking at Mt. Moon. It was lonely, but it did take quite a liking to her new trainer, May.

May's Combusken was out. It stood in front of May. It was very protective of her, and May really respected Combusken a lot, for immediately took the initiative to protect May.

Misty lay looking at the stars. She had just recently woken up.

"Tracey, wherever you are, I... love... you." said Misty.

Tracey & Motohashi

As Tracey slept, Motohashi looked up at the stars. He then looked at Mt. Moon, trembling.

"Maxie, I am traveling with a friend now. You will never do what you want with me! NEVER!", thought Motohashi, and turned and went to sleep.



























Watch out for Chapter 52, Cerulean Showdown!, coming up on Tuesday!

- Motohashi tries to defeat the Cerulean City Gym leader!
"Well, since you do have one Pokemon, I will only use one as well! Go, Vaporeon!" yelled Tyler as he threw a Dive Ball onto the arena floor. A water Pokemon appeared. It was blue in color, and had black, beady eyes. Motohashi glared, he really wanted an Eevee Evolution.
"Well, the only Pokemon I can use is Porygon!" said Motohashi, as he threw out a Pokeball containing his only Pokemon, Porygon. The cyberspace Pokemon came out and floated in the air a bit.

-Things aren't going well for Team Rocket
"All we have to do is climb this gate and go into the Kremlin and steal the Faberge Eggs!" exclaimed Jessie.
"Well, first we have to send Beautifly and Dustox over the gate so that they can keep an eye out to make sure nobody is on the other side of this gate." said James.
"Right! Beautifly!" exclaimed Jessie, as Beautifly fluttered out. James likewise sent out Dustox.

-May and Misty find something
"What is this red piece of paper?" asked May, as she picked up the red piece of paper.
"What red piece of paper?" asked Misty, as she then read the paper and shuddered.
"Oh my God! It says Team Magma Admission Paper, and under name it says 'Motohashi Kodama'! Who's this?" asked May.
"Well, registering with any team is illegal, they can't do this!" exclaimed Misty.
Behind a bush, May and Misty were being watched. A man with a red uniform with a tape recorder was recording every word they said.
Combusken heard something, but ignored it.[/i]

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 52 - Cerulean Showdown

By Hanada

Tracey & Motohashi

Tracey and Motohashi were still asleep. The sun was shining on Route 4, and Tracey tossed and turned in his sleeping bag. He soon got up, and streched. He then noticed a guy sleeping in a sleeping bag next to him. Tracey screamed.

Motohashi got up, really fast. He didn't stand up because he was naked, but then Tracey remembered that he was traveling with Motohashi now.

"What happened?" asked Motohashi, still laying down.

"Oh, nothing, I'm sorry, I forgot that we were traveling together," exclaimed Tracey, as Motohashi, tense, nodded.

"Well, get up, we have to make it to Cerulean!" said Tracey, but Motohashi did not get up.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that you sleep naked." said Tracey, as he turned around as Motohashi got up and started putting his clothes on.

"Lots of people do, y'know." said Motohashi, as he headed off on Route 4 with Tracey to Cerulean City.

"Well, once I get to Cerulean, I have to go to the Cerulean YMCA." said Motohashi.

"Why on Earth do you want to go there?" asked Tracey, surprised.

"Well, I have to work out. 60 lbs on each hand. How much do you bench?" asked Motohashi.

"Umm..." started Tracey, but Motohashi understood that Tracey didn't really work out.

"Well, first, I have to go to the gym." said Motohashi.

"You collect badges?" asked Tracey.

"Yeah. So far, I have 1 badge, the Boulder Badge from Pewter." said Motohashi.

"Well, so do I, I have to get a badge from Cerulean as well." exclaimed Tracey.

"Do you know that I am currently the champion of the Orange League?" asked Tracey.

Motohashi looked at Tracey with sparkling eyes.

"You are? Wow, you must be famous!" said Motohashi.

"Not really, the Orange Islands aren't that busy." said Tracey, as Motohashi nodded.

As Tracey and Motohashi walked on, Motohashi didn't notice the red piece of paper fall out of his pocket onto the ground.

Soon, Route 4 gave way, and Tracey and Motohashi stumbled upon Cerulean City. The city was beautiful. There was a fountain in the middle of the city. All the buildings were colored Indigo Blue, and it was a very bustling city. The funny thing was that there were no cars, people just walked everywhere.

Soon, Motohashi spotted the gym.

"What?" asked Tracey, anxious.

"The Cerulean Gym!" said Motohashi. "Let's go!"

The two boys ran to the Cerulean Gym. The building, like the other buildings in the city, was colored blue. Large white letters on the building read; "CERULEAN GYM".

Tracey and Motohashi entered the blue building.

It was a very nice smelling place. It was all painted blue, with pictures of water Pokemon painted on the walls. There was a pool in the middle of the arena. On one side was a teenager with blond hair and blue eyes. He wore all blue clothes, and looked Dutch.

"Hello, everyone!" he said.

"Hello! We want to challenge you! I am Tracey, and this is my friend Motohashi!" said Tracey.

"Salutations. I am Tyler, the gym leader of the Cerulean Gym! If you defeat me, you will get a Cascade Badge." said Tyler.

As Tyler was talking, Motohashi casually put his hands in his pockets. His right pocket was empty. He was positive he had put his Team Magma admission paper in there, but it was empty. He checked his other pockets, but of course it wasn't there. He then saw a hole in his right pocket. He panicked.

"Is something wrong?" asked Tyler.

"Motohashi, you don't look too good." said Tracey.

"Oh... nothing... I'm just a bit fatigued." said Motohashi, trembling.

"Well, who wants to battle me first? It will be a 3 on 3." said Tyler.

"I will battle first. The thing is that I only have 1 Pokemon." said Motohashi. Tracey found it a little rude that Motohashi didn't even let Tracey have a go first.

"Well, since you do have one Pokemon, I will only use one as well! Go, Vaporeon!" yelled Tyler as he threw a Dive Ball onto the arena floor. A water Pokemon appeared. It was blue in color, and had black, beady eyes. Motohashi glared, he really wanted an Eevee Evolution.
"Well, the only Pokemon I can use is Porygon!" said Motohashi, as he threw out a Pokeball containing his only Pokemon, Porygon. The cyberspace Pokemon came out and floated in the air a bit.

"Let's get this show on the rode! Vaporeon, use Take Down attack!" ordered Tyler. Vaporeon, fast and strong, immediatly started racing toward Porygon at high speed.

"Porygon, use Sharpen!" ordered Motohashi, as Porygon glew green. Its sides, though already sharp, became sharper than needles, and Vaporeon, who noticed this, stayed back, to avoid the sharp sides.

"Vaporeon, Jump in the Water!" said Tyler, as the graceful Vaporeon jumped in the pool that was sitting in the middle of the arena.

"Porygon, float over the water!" followed Motohashi, as Porygon floated over the arena. Vaporeon, now inside the water, stood waiting.

"Porygon, use your Psybeam attack!" ordered Motohashi. Porygon's eyes glew purple, as it fired a multi-colored beam at Vaporeon.

"Vaporeon, Acid Armor!" ordered Tyler. Vaporeon suddenly glew the same color as the water, and then dissolved into it. The Psybeam hit the water and nothing happened.

Tracey bit his lip. If Motohashi's Porygon was having trouble with Vaporeon, how would Tracey do?

"Now, Vaporeon, use Water Pulse!" ordered Tyler. Vaporeon fired a very strong water attack in the shape of a twister at Porygon. Porygon was hit immnsely, but kept his balance.

"I have an idea! Porygon, use Conversion!" ordered Motohashi. Soon, Porygon started glowing. Instead of becoming pink and blue, it changed to being a green color.

"What happened?" asked a confused Tracey.

"Porygon is now a grass type." said Motohashi, winking.

"Who gives? Vaporeon, Hydro Pump! Your most powerful one yet!" ordered Tyler, his blond hair waving.

Vaporeon inhaled, and then fired a huge water attack at Porygon. It surrounded the cyberspace Pokemon, but when the impact was over, Porygon just stood there, unaffected.

"What the...?" but was interupted by Motohashi's command. By this time, Porygon stopped being green, and was back to its normal colors.

"Porygon, Tackle!" ordered Motohashi. Porygon tackled Vaporeon into the water. The acid armor Pokemon was in the water.

"Oh no you don't! Vaporeon, Acid Armor!" ordered Tyler. Vaporeon once again dissapeared into the water.

"Oh yes I do! Porygon, Lock On!" ordered Motohashi.

Porygon, like a magnet, floated down into the water and locked onto where Vaporeon was. The Pokemon soon reappeared.

"Now, ZAP CANNON!" ordered Motohashi, his fist clenched.

Porygon's eyes glew yellow, and Vaporeon, in the water, was fried. The Pokemon immediatly fainted, and Porygon floated back to Motohashi.

"VAPOREON! No... Return..." said Tyler recalling the fainted Vaporeon.

"Thanks, Porygon, we did it!" cheered Motohashi, as Porygon embraced him. He was then recalled.

"Congrats, Motohashi!" said Tracey.

"Thanks!" said Motohashi.

"Don't forget this. Your Cascade Badge! There!" said Tyler, giving Motohashi the Cascade Badge. It was in the shape of a water teardrop.

Motohashi put it in his Indigo Badge Case, next to his Boulder Badge. The blue teardrop shone.

"ALL RIGHT!" cheered Motohashi.

Now, it was Tracey's turn, would he win, or loose?

Jessie, James, & Meowth

It had been a day since Jessie, James, and Meowth reached Valencia Island. The island was very beautiful, but Team Rocket still missed Kanto.

"So, where to?" asked Jessie.

"Don't you remember?" asked Meowth. "We have to get the Faberge eggs! From the Kremlin!" said Meowth, as he finished his Pina Colada.

"Yes, but how do we get to the Kremlin?" asked James.

"Well, what we do is go to the beach, and then climb the gate!" said Jessie.

"How do you know?" asked Meowth.

"Well, once I read a tour guide book about Valencia," said Jessie.

Team Rocket walked to the beach, below The Venetian. There were a lot of people there, but there was a gate on the beach, which was locked. It led to the Kremlin, the Tsar's private resort beach.

The gate was guarded by two of the Royal Tsar's guards, who were supposed to be there, but for some reason it was vacant.

"So, we have to get the Faberge Eggs?" asked James.

"Yea, they belong to the Tsar. They're royal eggs made of gold and silver, they can sell for millions." said Jessie.

"How do you know--" asked Meowth.

"I READ!" exclaimed Jessie.

"All we have to do is climb this gate and go into the Kremlin and steal the Faberge Eggs!" exclaimed Jessie.
"Well, first we have to send Beautifly and Dustox over the gate so that they can keep an eye out to make sure nobody is on the other side of this gate." said James.
"Right! Beautifly!" exclaimed Jessie, as Beautifly fluttered out. James likewise sent out Dustox.

The two Pokemon fluttered around, waiting for their masters commands.

"Fly over the gate, and make sure no one is there!" said Jessie.

Beautifly and Dustox went over the gate, and nodded, saying that nobody was there.

They were recalled, and just as Jessie started to climb the gate, a strong hand was on her shoulder.

"James--" began Jessie, but turned around to find the Tsar's Royal Guard.

"How lovely-- Robbers!" said the guard, as he covered the mouths of Jessie, James, and Meowth, and opened the gate with a key, going inside the grounds of the Kremlin.

May & Misty

May and Misty had long woken up. They were on Route 4, they decided that they would head off to Cerulean City in a few hours. They were just enjoying the sights and sounds of Route 4.

Their Pokemon were all out. Poliwhirl and Marill were talking like no tommorow. Sunkern, Pikachu, and Cleffa had gotten very chummy. Makuhita, Meditite, and also Flaffy were talking. Combusken was by May, keeping guard.

"Well, let's get goin'!" said May, as she and Misty recalled all of their Pokemon except May's Combusken and Cleffa.

Soon, the two girls and Combusken and Cleffa headed down on Route 4 to Cerulean.

"What is this red piece of paper?" asked May, as she picked up the red piece of paper.
"What red piece of paper?" asked Misty, as she then read the paper and shuddered.
"Oh my God! It says Team Magma Admission Paper, and under name it says 'Motohashi Kodama'! Who's this?" asked May.
"Well, registering with any team is illegal, they can't do this!" exclaimed Misty.
Behind a bush, May and Misty were being watched. A man with a red uniform with a tape recorder was recording every word they said.
Combusken heard something, but ignored it.

Suddenly, a female in a red outfit with a big 'M' on her top threw a cage over May and Misty. Combusken and Cleffa screamed as their trainers were trapped.

Soon, the male and the female came out of the bushes.

"Who are you people?" asked May.

"What are you doing?" asked a scared Misty.

"That's for us to know and you to find out!" said the man.

"Now, we are Team Magma! What do you know about this red piece of paper! You're friends with Kodama aren't you?" asked the female.

"By the way, I am Jackson, and this Allisa!" said the Jackson.

"We honestly don't know anything about this Motohashi guy!" said May.

"That's what they all say! Now give us these!" said Allisa, grabbing Combusken's and Cleffa's empty Love Balls from May's waist and recalling the surprised Combusken and Cleffa. They grabbed the paper and the Love Balls and ran towards the direction of Mt. Moon, leaving May and Misty in the cage.

"COMBUSKEN! CLEFFA!" screamed May, as she started sobbing, as Misty comforted her.

"They were Team Magma..." whispered Misty to a crying May.

-Proffesor Oak sets off to Route 4 to walk around a bit
"I haven't been out of this damned lab for weeks on end!" said Oak, slamming his fist on the table. Corphish, sitting across from him, almost choked on his steak.
"Come on, Corphish, time to go for a walk!" said Oak.
"Cor, Cor?" asked Corphish. It wanted to know where they were going.
"I want to go for a walk on Route 4, I used to go there all the time when I was a boy." said Oak, as Corphish was recalled.

-Oak stumbles upon May and Misty
"Team Magma? Do you know how notoriously evil those guys are?" asked Oak.
"Well, we didn't know, but we do know now! They stole Combusken and Cleffa!" sobbed May.
"How dare they! Where did they go?" asked Oak.
"They headed off for Mt. Moon!" said Misty.
"Well, our Pokemon can get you out of here! Corphish, use Crabhammer!" said Oak, as Corphish's claws glew white, and it started hitting the cage as hard as it could.
"Makuhita, use Arm Thrust!" ordered May, as her Makuhita, experienced, starting thrusting his arm on the cage.
"Meditite, use Focus Punch!" said Misty. Meditiite focused, and then punched the cage, it was broke.

"Jackson, Allisa! What brings you here?" said Maxie, as he smoked his cigar, deep inside the anals of Mt. Moon. His Charizard, Typhlosion, and Blaziken rested next to him.
"Sir! We have got you something!" said Jackson. He handed Maxie the red piece of paper.
Maxie scanned it, and remarked, "So, Motohashi? I see. His father abandoned us to become a senator." remember Motohashi.
"We also have something else for you! A Combusken and a Cleffa!" said Allisa, as they handed him May's stolen Pokemon.
"You keep them!" said Maxie.
"I already have my dear Numel!" said Allisa, snuggling the Numel next to her.
"And I already have my Slugma!" said Jackson, embracing his Slugma.
"Fine, then, put them in the closet in there! I'll sell them when I have the chance." said Maxie, as Allisa and Jackson put Combusken's and Cleffa's Love Balls in the closet, locked the door, and awaited orders.

All ready, on Satuday!

[Dewgongtears]

Ahh poor May and Misty. I do hope they get them back somehow. Well Motohashi won his second gym badge and that was really cool. I just hope that Tracey defeats Tyler too. Good Job.

[Dragon_Claw]

Wow, a kewl chapter. My Vaporeon's @$$ got totally kicked dude! I like the mystery going around here, This fic is second to Shinys!

[DannyBoy]

That was a good chapter. That was a good gym battle. I hope Tracy does good. He has some good pokemon to use. Team Rocket are still funny and Meowth still loves Pina COllatas! Misty adn May seem to be in some trouble. Hope it gets better for them. Keep it up!

[RJdude]

Hah! I knew Maxie was the TM boss... oh well. Good chapter, I hope May and Misty get out of the mess that they're in... and for some reason, Tyler reminds me of Ty from my fic, you know, Grace's little cousin? He had a Vaporeon too. Hmm....

DewgongTears ~ Thanks for reading! Yeah, I feel bad for May and Misty. May really loves her Cleffa and especially for Combusken.

Dragon_Claw ~ Thanks! Yeah, the mystery surrouding Motohashi is really eerie, you'll find out more about him lately.

ILoveX-Tina ~ Thanks! Hmm, maybe it will get better, but Team Magma may seek revenge on them somehow.

RJDude ~ Thanks! For some wierd reason, that is true. Heh. But Ty and Tyler have nothing to do with each other.

[SneaselReborned]

Methinks this chapter was a good one. Porygon with his little conversion and then lockon zapcannon combo. Methinks Tracey gets owned by Tyler. Tracey's pokemon just can't handle it...esp. without lockon.

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 53 - The Rescue

By Hanada

Prof. Oak

In the quiet peninsula of Pallet Town, Proffesor Oak was in his laboratory, reading a book on the Pokemon Dratini. Corphish was by his side, eating some Plankton Soup.
"Gee, I'd love to have a Dratini," said Proffesor Oak. Corphish looked envious of Oak wanting another Pokemon, but he let it go. A few more minutes later, the doorbell rang.
"Oh, it must be the steak I ordered from "Viridian Steak - A - Go- Go" said Oak, as he and Corphish ran at the same, slow, peed to the door, where they turned the handle and opened the door. A zitfaced teenager stood in the doorway, he had two small boxes in his hands.
"Dude, are you like THE Proffesor Oak?" asked the delivery boy in a surfer dude accent.
Oak just took the boxes holding the steak, paid the delivery boy with 500 yen and 10 yen tip and profoundly slammed the door in his face.
"BUT DUDE!!!" began the delivery boy, but Oak reopenend the door and ordered Corphish to use Water Gun on the delivery boy, which sent him flying into the ocean, he then locked and shut the door.
"Dude...Woah, total wipeout, dude!"
"Children these days,,," began Oak, as he set the table. He put two plates at either side of the table and he sat on one end, and Corphish on the other.
"I haven't been out of this damned lab for weeks on end!" said Oak, slamming his fist on the table. Corphish, sitting across from him, almost chocked on his steak.
"Come on, Corphish, time to go for a walk!" said Oak.
"Cor, Cor?" asked Corphish. It wanted to know where they were going.
"I want to go for a walk on Route 4, I used to go there all the time when I was a boy." said Oak, as Corphish was recalled.
Oak got outside of the lab and opened the garage. His small car was inside. He turned on the ignition and headed on Route 1 to Route 4. As he drove through Route 1, the Pidgey and Rattata were going to bed, as it was nightime.

The Rocket Grunt standing in front of the hideout watched closely as Oak's car almost drove over a Azurill.
"Proffesor Oak is leaving home... Operation Ho-Oh will soon begin." said the Grunt, as he started digging the hole to alert Giovanni.
As Oak drove into Viridian City, he drove by the "Viridian Steak-A-Go-Go" fast food joint, where the delivery boy just saw Oak.
"DUDE!" said the kid, but Oak almost drove over him.

As Oak drove through Viridian Forest, he put his car lights on, and he could see through the whole forest. As he drove by Mrs. Delchy's house, she and her Misdreavus were standing outside.
"Misdreavus, do you think Tracey will get the harp back?" asked Mrs. Delchy. Misdreavus wailed.

Oak reached Pewter City. He drove by the rubble of the bombed museum, and saw Mr. O'Keefe, who with his Linoone and Officer Jenny and her Growlite were watering his garden.
Soon, Oak drove through Route 3, and saw Mt. Moon.

Instead of going through the cave, there was an alternate road for cars to take over the moutain. This was called 'Route 3', which was the continuation of Route 3.

Oak drove on the road, which went over Mt. Moon. He didn't see a small cave opening at the very top of the moutain.

Soon, Oak reached Route 4. He parked the car off of the road, and released Corphish. Corphish came out, excited to be out again. It was nightime.

As Oak and Corphish strolled, Corphish saw a cage. It was sitting in the middle of the road, and it looked like they were people in there!

"Cor, Cor!" wailed Corphish.

"Corphish, what in Sam's hell is the matter with ya?" asked Oak, as Corphish scurried in front of Oak.

"Corphish, what are..." began Oak, but he soon saw the cage.

"Oh my God, who's in there... MAY, MISTY, what are you doing here?" asked Oak.

"Prof. Oak? What are you doing here?" asked Misty, as May was sobbing on her shoulder.

"Me and Corphish wanted to go for a walk, now, may I ask the same question?" asked Oak.

"Prof. Oak, we were heading for Cerulean, when we found a red piece of paper, which was an admission paper for Team Magma." said Misty.

"The name on it said Motohashi Kodama!" said May, still sobbing.

"Team Magma trapped us in this cage and stole the paper!" said Misty.

"Team Magma? Do you know how notoriously evil those guys are?" asked Oak.
"Well, we didn't know, but we do know now! They stole Combusken and Cleffa!" sobbed May.
"How dare they! Where did they go?" asked Oak.
"They headed off for Mt. Moon!" said Misty.
"Well, our Pokemon can get you out of here! Corphish, use Crabhammer!" said Oak, as Corphish's claws glew white, and it started hitting the cage as hard as it could.
"Makuhita, use Arm Thrust!" ordered May, as her Makuhita, experienced, starting thrusting his arm on the cage.
"Meditite, use Focus Punch!" said Misty. Meditiite focused, and then punched the cage, it was broke.

"Thanks, guys!" said May and Misty as they recalled Meditite and Makuhita. Oak recalled Corphish.

"Please, Proffesor Oak, I want my Pokemon back!" said May.

"Torchic was the first Pokemon that May caught by herself!" said Misty.

"Let's head off for Mt. Moon!" said Oak, as May and Misty and Oak ran to his car and zommed off for Route 3.


Jackson & Allisa

Deep inside Mt. Moon, there was an elevator that went down to the next floor. The next floor was Team Magma's secret base in Kanto. The next floor was Maxie's, the notorious leader of Team Magma's, office.

Two Magma Grunts guarded the elevator. In Maxie's office, Maxie was at his desk. He had orange hair, and blue eyes. He was old, not as old as Giovanni but in his late middle age. His Pokemon were Charizard, Typhlosion, and Blaziken, his strongest. The Pokemon sat on the couch, straight, without blinking. His Pokemon made Giovanni's seem like little Pidgey.

Soon, Jackson and Allisa ran up Route 3 to Mt. Moon. Jackson was a Magma Executive. He wore the Magma outfit with red hair and black eyes. He was muscular, smart, and evil, nothing like James of Team Rocket. Allisa was beautiful. She had black hair and red eyes. She was very evil, making a person like Jessie tremble.

Jackson had his Pokemon out, he had a Slugma. It was boling hot, and angry. It lagged next to Jackson. Allisa had a Numel. It was ditzy, but its yellow skin boiled. Their Pokemon were very strong.

As Jackson and Allisa neared the elevator, the two Magma grunts saluted the executives.

"Grunts, let us in!" said Jackson, as the Magma Grunts pressed the button opening the lift. Jackson, Allisa, and their Pokemon entered. Jackson held the red paper, and Allisa had Combusken and Cleffa's love balls.

Soon, they reached the bottom floor. They walked into Maxie's office, making Giovanni's seem like a shack. It had couches, tables, chairs, and exquisite items, including a huge king sized bed.

"Sir!" said Allisa and Jackson equally.

"Enter." said Maxie.

"Jackson, Allisa! What brings you here?" said Maxie, as he smoked his cigar, deep inside the anals of Mt. Moon. His Charizard, Typhlosion, and Blaziken rested next to him.
"Sir! We have got you something!" said Jackson. He handed Maxie the red piece of paper.
Maxie scanned it, and remarked, "So, Motohashi? I see. His father abandoned us to become a senator." remember Motohashi.
"We also have something else for you! A Combusken and a Cleffa!" said Allisa, as they handed him May's stolen Pokemon.
"You keep them!" said Maxie.
"I already have my dear Numel!" said Allisa, snuggling the Numel next to her.
"And I already have my Slugma!" said Jackson, embracing his Slugma.
"Fine, then, put them in the closet in there! I'll sell them when I have the chance." said Maxie, as Allisa and Jackson put Combusken's and Cleffa's Love Balls in the closet, locked the door, and awaited orders.

"Hmm, good. We see that Motohashi has been trying to litter the evidence that he has a 'reputation'," said Maxie, with a smirk.

"Huh?" asked Allisa.

"Motohashi may seem like an angel, but he was banging cocktail waitresses two at a time! He is evil, to us, anyway. Anyone kind is evil to us." said Maxie, still smoking his cigar.

Proffesor Oak, May, and Misty

Oak parked the car on the side of the road on Route 3. He then entered Mt. Moon from the entrance on the road. However, this entrance led to Maxie's secret base, and nobody had been here before, not even Tracey.

"What is this place, I don't remember it from the first time we came here..." said Misty, trembling.

The Team Magma grunts watched from a distance.

"1..2..3" said they, and then jumped Oak, Misty, and May. They started tackling them.

"TEAM MAGMA!" screamed Oak, as they were being continously tackled by the evil group.

When they knew they lost the fight, the Grunts dragged Misty, May, and Oak down to Maxie's base.

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 54 - Route 4 and Cerulean City

By Hanada

Tracey and Motohashi

Motohashi and Tracey were still in the Cerulean Gym. They were now taking a little break before Tracey battled Taylor. Tracey was sitting on the bench, looking at his badge case. His Boulder Badge shimmered and shined.

Motohashi was next to him. He too was looking at his Badge Case, and was looking at his Boulder Badge and his new Cascade Badge. He had more badges than Tracey, which was surprising. Porygon was out, completely healed.

Taylor sat in front of them. He looked a little angry at losing, but was anxious to battle again. He got up.

"All right, who wants to battle me now?" he said, as he stood up, flexing his muscles as a sign of power.

"Well, I am the only one left, so it's my turn, Taylor!" said Tracey.

As they took their places on the arena, Taylor stood in front of Tracey. Motohashi stood on the bench, Porygon next to him.

"It will be a three on three match, no time limit, let the match begin" shouted Motohashi.

"Here is my favorite Pokemon that I have, Mudkip!" cried Taylor, as he threw a Dive Ball onto the arena. A small kipper Pokemon came out, a Mudkip. It was cute, Tracey didn't want to hurt it. Tracey had battled this in Tangelo Gym, he knew using an electric type would be a bad idea.

"I Choose You, Machop!" cried Tracey, as he threw his Fast Ball onto the arena. Machop came out, flexing its muscles. It jumped over the water and socked Tracey in stomach. Tracey fell over, and Motohashi chuckled.

"Mudkip, use Water Gun!" cried Taylor. Mudkip fired a cold, icy, gush of water. The water was coming at a fast rate toward Machop.

"Machop, use Seismic Toss!" cried Tracey. Machop dodged the water rather keenly, and grabbed the nieve Mudkip. He then jumped in the air, Mudkip in his arms.

"Mudkip, oh no!" said Taylor.

"Taylor, if you're a gym leader, you should train your Pokemon much more." said Motohashi. Taylor ignored the comment.

"Hey, I have an idea! Mudkip, use another Water Gun!" ordered Taylor. Mudkip, in the air, fired an icy blast of water straight in Machop's face. Machop was all wet, and whilst being distracted, dropped Mudkip and they both fell down onto one of the planks in the water. Both were weakened.

"Quick, use the best Vital Throw you've got!" ordered Tracey. Machop quickly got up, grabbed Mudkip, and threw it across the water to the wall. Mudkip hit the wall, and then hit the wall beside it. It fell down, fainted.

"Mudkip, oh no! Return!" cried Taylor, recalling the poor fainted Mudkip.

"Great job, Machop! We won!" said Tracey, as Machop, joyous over its victory, smiled.

"It's not over this early! Go, Vaporeon" cried Taylor, throwing out Vaporeon. The aqua armor Pokemon came out, looking at Taylor and waiting for a command. It was still weak from the battle with Motohashi.

"Start and finish this with a Hydro Pump!" cried Taylor, as Vaporeon inhaled and fired a huge blast of water at Machop.

"Machop, use Low Kick!" ordered Tracey. Machop dodged the blast of water again and jumped over the water, landing on Vaporeon's plank. It then kicked it where it hurts, kicking Vaporeon in the air.

As the water Pokemon flew in the air, Tracey ordered, "Machop, use Seismic Toss!"

Machop bounced on the plank and flew into the air, grabbing Vaporeon, and slamming it down on the plank.

"Now, finish it off with a Vital Throw" ordered Tracey, as Machop grabbed Vaporeon, and threw it across the arena. The Pokemon fainted.

"How did it lose?" asked Taylor, while recalling the tired Vaporeon.

"Vaporeon was already weak from the battle with Motohashi's Porygon." said Tracey.

Machop, however, looked very weak after its constant battles.

"This is my strongest Pokemon, it should give you quite a scare! GO, TENTACRUEL!" ordered Taylor. A Master Ball, purple, opened up, and revaled a huge Tentacruel.

"What the ****?" screamed Motohashi.

This Tentacruel was huge, over ten times its size. It took up so much room. It growled at Machop, who was scared.

Tracey, however, was confident.

"Use Poison Sting!" ordered Taylor. Tentacruel send billions of small poison quills at Machop. Machop, bombarded by the quills, immediatly fainted.

"MACHOP!" cried Tracey, as he recalled the fainted Pokemon in its Fast Ball. Tentacruel was victorious.

"This isn't over yet! Go, Seadra, my favorite!" ordered Tracey, throwing his Dive Ball out, revealing Seadra. Seadra swam in the water, but by seeing Tentacruel, it quickly dove underwater.

"Heh, Seadra, use Spike Cannon!" ordered Tracey. Out of Seadra's snout came tens and hundreds of small Spikes, but Tentacruel didn't even feel it.

"Tentacruel, Wrap!" ordered Taylor. One of Tentacruel's many tentacles grabbed Seadra and it picked the tentacle up by its face, squeezing Seadra.

"Seadra!!" said a worried Tracey.

Seadra tried to wiggle out, but every time it moved or tried to attack, it would squeeze it harder. Seadra was turning purple.

"Let it go!" said Taylor. Both Tracey and Motohashi were surprised. Seadra was dropped by Tentacruel into the water. Seadra thought it could attack.

"Great, now use Ice Beam!" ordered Tracey, but before Seadra could attack, Tentacruel shot a huge yellow Hyper Beam from under its body. The huge attack hit Seadra, sending it across the arena. Seadra fainted.

"SEADRA! RETURN!" cried Tracey, as his fainted Pokemon was recalled.

"Poor Seadra..." said Motohashi.

Tentacruel and Taylor laughed. Tracey had used up two of his Pokemon. Using Charmeleon would be suicide, it couldn't survive against Tentacruel. He decided to use Electrode, but would he win?

Team Magma and Proffesor Oak

The two Magma grunts dragged Proffesor Oak, May, and Misty. One of the grunts carried the unconcious Oak, and the other one carried May and Misty.

They went down the lift into Maxie's secret base. Maxie was on his couch, with Charizard, Typhlosion, and Blaziken recalled. Jackson had recalled Slugma and Allisa had recalled Numel.

"SIR!" cried out the Grunts as they entered.

"Oh, Magma Grunts, what have you bought me?" asked Maxie, with a smirk.

The Grunts dropped Oak, May, and Misty on the ground. They soon woke up.

"Where am I?" asked Oak, as he felt for Corphish's Pokeball. He found it, and remembered that before he was attacked by the Magma grunts, he head recalled Corphish.

"Proffesor, those are the ones who stole my Combusken and Cleffa!" said May.

"Yeah, those are the ones!" said Misty, both pointing.

"Um, your Combusken and Cleffa?" asked Maxie.

"Dudettes, those Pokemon belong to us now! We're going to sell them at Fuchsia Port!" said Maxie.

"Wait, wait... Are you not the notorious Proffesor Oak?" asked Maxie.

"Yes, that's me." said Oak.

"Get them out of my sight." said Maxie.

"Sir, they can find out valuable info about Groudon!" said Jackson.

"I know. They will, before we shoot them." said Maxie.

"SHOOT US?" cried Oak, as the grunts took he, May, and Misty away.

They carried them out of the lift and into a small cave inside Mt. Moon, and closed the gate to the cave. They then locked it and left.

"Proffesor Oak, Misty, this is all my fault!" cried May. "I should have never got us mixed up with this!"

"No, no, May. It's good that we got mixed up in this, if we ever are found, we can tell Officer Jenny!" said Oak.

"I have an idea!" said May, between sobs, "We can sing "Someday My Prince Will Come" and maybe my prince will come!"

Misty and Proffesor Oak fell anime style. Suddenly, a white piece of paper fell out of Oak's lab pocket.

"Proffesor Oak, what is that?" asked Misty.

"It's the ticket from the fast food place I was eating at! The delivery boy knows me! I can call him, except I don't have a cell phone." said Oak.

"I do!" said May, as she pulled it out, and Oak started to dial, but then noticed there was no antenna left since they were in the cave.

"What are we gonna do..." said May, groaning a sad, long groan.

Team Rocket

Far away on Valencia Island, the guards of the Tsar Nicholas the II carried Jessie, James, Meowth, Beautifly, and Dustox to the Kremlin.

They entered the marble doors of the castle, and went inside the grand hall. Jessie, James, and Meowth's eyes sparkled, as they recalled their Pokemon.

The walls of the Kremlin were all marble, with 100% diamonds decorating every frame of every picture. The tsar's painting stood on the man hall.

"May we have permission to see the tsar?" asked the guards to the Valencia chief of police.

"Is it important?" asked the police chief.

"Not that important..." said the guards.

"Thieves? Hmm, we can straighten it out." said the chief.

They entered the office of the police chief, which was very lavish. There was a brown desk with a computer and a lot of papers on it.

Jessie and James sat down next to Meowth.

"Can I have a Pina Colada" asked Meowth.

"Shut up." said the Police Chief, as he got some papers out.

Tracey & Motohashi

"I Choose you, Electrode!" ordered Tracey, as he threw his Pokeball out. Electrode stood on the plank, rolling around. Tentacruel frowned.

"Use Spark!" ordered Tracey. Electrode jumped in the air and tackles Tentacruel, while shocking it. Tentacruel is weakened just a little bit.

"Use another Spark!" ordered Tracey, as Electrode preformed the same move, weakening the tentacle Pokemon a little more. This is when Electrode noticed that Tentacruel was partly in water.

"Tentacruel, Wrap it!" ordered Taylor. Tentacruel picked Electrode up and started squeezing it again.

"USE ZAP CANNON!" ordered Tracey, as Electrode's eyes glew yellow, and it fired a huge electric attack. Tentacruel was weakened terribly, and parilyzed. It dropped Electrode onto the plank.

"Finish it off, USE the strongest Thunder!" ordered Tracey. Electrode glew terribly yellow. It hit Tentacruel, the paralyzed Pokemon collapsed in the water, and fainted.

Tentacruel fainted.

"WE DID IT, ELECTRODE!" said Tracey. He hugged his Pokeball Pokemon. He recalled his Pokemon in its Pokeball.

"TENTACRUEL! NOOOOOO!" said Taylor, stomping his foot on the ground and recalling Tentacruel. He then recalled it.

When Taylor calmed down, he gave Tracey a Cascade Badge, the blue teardrop badge.

"YES! I GOT THE SECOND BADGE!" said Tracey. He then put his Cascade Badge next to his Boulder Badge, he had did it!

"Congrats, Tracey!" said Motohashi as he recalled Porygon. Now, both he and Motohashi had two badges!

As they bid Taylor farewell, Motohashi said that the next gym is in Vermillion City, but first they have to go south on Route 5, through the Underground Road, and into the port city of Vermillion.

As they exited Cerulean from the south, Motohashi seemed eager, and relaxed.




































Check out the next Chapter, Chapter 55, The Reunion!

-Tracey heads south on Route 5, and Motohashi captures a new Pokemon!
The Abra sat on the ground, sleeping. It didn't seem to care that Porygon was beating the heck out of it, and Motohashi seemed anxious the finish the battle up. Tracey was laughing.
"Porygon, use Take Down!" said Motohashi. Porygon sped down quickly and tackled Abra to the tree. Abra fell down, still sleeping. Porygon kept tackling the Abra, but it still kept sleeping. Motohashi got a Great Ball ready.

-Of all people, someone saves the unlikely party of Proffesor Oak
The gate was still locked, and Josh still kept hitting his surfboard on the gate.
"Josh, I promise that if you get us out of this mess, I'll buy fifty stakes from you!" said Oak, as May started crying.
"Thanks, dude! It means a whole lot to me!" said the surfer dude, almost breaking down the gate.

-Tracey goes to the Underground Road
The Underground Road led passengers from Cerulean to Vermillion. It was a very dark road, and there were small Rattata running around. Tracey and Motohashi were very nervous. Motohashi couldn't see a thing, but he had an idea, "I'll use Abra to light up the road, Abra use Flash!" said he. Abra came out, but instead of using the attack, it just slept. Motohashi recalled it, and fell anime style.

Read Chapter 55, The Reunion, on Monday!

[Dewgongtears]

Tracey won his 2nd badge and I loved the battle. The Tentacreul was pretty big and pretty hard to defeat. I can not wait till monday to see the next one.

[DannyBoy]

That was a really good chapter, the gym battle was good. The battles between the pokemon could have went on just a little bit longer but it was real good. I like the giant Tentacruel. That was really intresting to read about. Length was really good and May, Oak, and Misty are still all in a big mess but it seems next chapter they get out. Also I noticed you said stakes, I think you mean Steak, right? Sorry just wanted to point that lil mistake, but we all forget to spell a word right since thous words sound the same. Keep it up!

[Dragon_Claw]

So he catches the Abra? Oh, didn't know I was such a sore loser. But I do have a giant Tentacruel in a Master Ball. I wonder where I got the Master Ball.......hmmmm sounds like a mystery?

[RJdude]

Good chapter. The battle was exciting, and I'm glad Tracy won. lol, figures, Professor Oak is going to be saved by the delivery boy he almost ran over.

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 55 - The Reunion

By Hanada

Sheu

Sheu walked along Route 1, which led from Pallet Town to the rather growing Viridian City. His spiky black hair waved some as the wind blew through the strands. He had visited Proffesor Oak, an old friend of his. Sneasel, his first and strongest Pokemon, was out next to him, as was his Scyther, whose predomincance showed.

Sheu was going to compete for badges; after his fiasco with Tracey and the legendary birds on Aveda Island, Sheu had told Tracey that he was going to go to the Aloe Vera Islands and collect badges, but he shelved the idea.

Sheu decided to skip Orange, as it was too 'easy' for him, so he decided to go to Kanto, knowing little of the fact that Tracey was traveling there.

"It's too sunny, guys. Let's travel on the left side of the road." said Sheu, as he motioned for Scyther and Sneasel to follow him. Sheu walked on the left side of the road, right near where Giovanni's elusive hideout was.

For some reason, the Rocket Grunt who was guarding the area was not there, so Sheu was not being watched. He saw soil on the road, but for some reason, there was a shovel next to a certain area marked with a red air. Sheu suddenly remember his experience with Lawrence the III and how he was affiliated with Team Rocket. He picked the shovel up and started digging, as Sneasel and Scyther watched.

Tracey & Motohashi

As Tracey and Motohashi, both with two Kanto badges, continued out of Cerulean City, and onto Route 5, the two were relatively quiet, staring at the sights around them.

Route 5 is where Kanto started to get agricultural. About two miles out of Cerulean, Route 5 was a sunny route with farmland and burned cottages all around, along with some not burned cottages made out of straw and sticks.

"Do you know why the cottages are burned, Motohashi?" asked Tracey, testing Motohashi's knowledge.

"Not a clue." said Motohashi.

"Well, when Valencia Island conquered Kanto in 1795, during the age of its glory, Valencia set fire to Cerulean, and its surrouding areas, I guess this wasn't rebuilt." said Tracey.

Motohashi didn't seem to be listening. His eyes started looking around him, at the grass.

"That was rude, I was just giving you a bit of history, how can you be so self-"

"Sush! I hear something!" interrupted Motohashi.

Tracey was taken aback by this comment, but started curiously looking at the grass, where there was something moving. It was, however, being blocked by the grass, so you couldn't see.

"Should we look?" asked Tracey cautiously.

"No, it could be some kind of a beastly Pokemon. I'll see." said Motohashi.

Tracey nodded.

"Go, Porygon!" ordered Motohashi, as he threw a Pokeball out. Porygon came out, floating in the air.

"Porygon, use your Cut attack on the grass, to see what it is!" said Motohashi.

Porygon glew white and then flew over to where the grass was rustling, and within minutes had cut the grass. In the grass was sitting an Abra!

The yellow rodent like Pokemon was sitting in the grass, but it was sleeping.

"Wow, an Abra! I would catch this!" said Tracey.

"Oh, don't you want to?" asked Motohashi, paving the way for Tracey to make another catch.

"No, I've got to train my Pokemon more, I don't need -" but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Abra snoring.

"Motohashi, it's asleep." said Tracey.

"Hmm, I hear Abra sleep for 18 hours a day." said Motohashi.

"Then why would you want to catch something like that?" said Tracey.

"Oh, I don't know. It just seems like something valuable." said Motohashi. "Porygon, attack with your Tackle!"

Porygon flew through the air, and tackled the Abra. The sleeping psi Pokemon hit a tree, and fell into the grass again. It was still asleep. Motohashi, Tracey, and Porygon all waited for the psi Pokemon to wake up, but it just slept.

"Sleeping, are we? Porygon, wake it up with your Zap Cannon!" ordered Motohashi. Porygon's eyes glew yellow, and it fired a huge electric attack at the sleeping Abra. It hit. The Abra got fried to a crisp. But it was still asleep.

The Abra sat on the ground, sleeping. It didn't seem to care that Porygon was beating the heck out of it, and Motohashi seemed anxious the finish the battle up. Tracey was laughing.
"Porygon, use Take Down!" said Motohashi. Porygon sped down quickly and tackled Abra to the tree. Abra fell down, still sleeping. Porygon kept tackling the Abra, but it still kept sleeping. Motohashi got a Great Ball ready.

Just as Motohashi was going to throw the Purple Great Ball, Abra glew white and dissapeared.

"What the heck? What just happened?" asked Motohashi turning back to Tracey for an answer.

"Abra's one and only attack, Teleport. It has the ability to dissapear from a battle and go anywhere." said Tracey.

Motohashi sighed.

Suddenly, he gasped. Abra was sitting in a tree, obviously trying to camoflauge itself. It wasn't doing a very good job.

"Porygon, Lock On! Don't let it get away!" said Motohashi. Porygon glued itself to Abra, as Motohashi threw the Great Ball.

The Ball swallowed Abra, and fell on the ground. It shook once, twice, three times. The ball stopped.

Motohashi and Porygon cheered.

"YES! I've got an Abra!" said he, as he held the Great Ball in the air.

Tracey didn't seem to care. He hated Motohashi's carefree attitude, and though it didn't show, was jealous of his looks, athletic and toned body, and how everyone spelled his hard Japanese name correctly, and how everyone spelled his name "Tracy".

Motohashi attached his new Abra's Great Ball to his belt, and he, Porygon, and Tracey continued.

Proffesor Oak, May, and Misty

"Now what?" asked May, after a few more hours of waiting. She had taken her bandana off, and was tired.

Proffesor Oak was hungry. It had been two days since they were trapped, and they were feeding on Pringles Chips. Misty was asleep, her hair down.

"If only the damned cell worked!" said Oak.

Misty woke up, after she heard Oak yell, it was acutally the first time that she had heard Oak cuss in all the two days that they were in this caged cave.

"YES! YES! YES!" said May.

"What's up with you?" asked Misty.

"I can use my Flaffy to charge up the cell phone!" said May.

"I can use my Pikachu! GO!" said Misty, as she threw the Love Ball with Pikachu. The cute mouse came out, smiling, but Pikachu couldn't see a thing.

"FLAFFY!" ordered May, as she threw out Flaffy's Pokeball. Flaffy came out, and immediatly awaited orders.

"Use Thunderbolt on the cellphone!" said May and Misty, together, as the thunderbolts went into May's cell phone, and the antena came up.

"I thought it was impossible, but you two did it!" said Oak.

Now, Oak took the steak restaurant ticket, and diled the number. (818) 349 - 0403

"Hey, dudes or dudettes, this is Josh speaking! Viridian Steak A-Go-Go, May I take your order?"

It was the delivery boy from earlier.

"Josh, this is Proffesor Oak!" said Oak, praying that Josh would forgive him for his earlier deeds.

"DUDE! YOU CALLED ME! THANKS! DUDE!" said Josh, as Oak rolled his eyes. He then began to tell him his predicament.

Tracey & Motohashi

"So, where's the next gym?" asked Motohashi, as Tracey and Motohashi continued down Route 5.

"In Vermillion City, and please stop asking me!" said Tracey.

"What type of Pokemon does the leader of the gym train?" asked Motohashi.

"Electric types." said Tracey. He was beginning to get annoyed of Motohashi, he wanted to have fun in Kanto, not be bored.

Proffesor Oak, May, and Misty

A few minutes later, the trio heard a car drive up Route 3. The Magma Grunts were gone for some reason or another, and they heard the car stop. Since Flaffy and Pikachu were using Flash, they could see the face of Josh come in through the dark anals of Mt. Moon.

"Hi, Josh!" said Oak.

"Hey, dude! I brought along my surfboard so I can like help you get out of this total mess, like totally, dude..." said Josh.

"Keep using Flash to help him, guys!" said May, as Pikachu and Flaffy used harder Flashes. Josh started hitting the caged cave with his surfboard, he kept trying and trying.

The gate was still locked, and Josh still kept hitting his surfboard on the gate.
"Josh, I promise that if you get us out of this mess, I'll buy fifty stakes from you!" said Oak, as May started crying.
"Thanks, dude! It means a whole lot to me!" said the surfer dude, almost breaking down the gate.

A few more times, and the gate broke. It fell apart, making a lot of noise, but no one seemed to be coming. May, Misty, Pikachu, Flaffy, Oak, and Josh ran out of Mt. Moon, out to Route 3.

"Thanks! THANKS" said Oak, hugging Josh, while May and Misty idolized him.

"So, where are you three like totally bound?" asked Josh.

"Well, we're heading for Route 4 and Cerulean, but we can go by ourselves." said Misty.

They bid farewell to Oak and Josh and with Flaffy and Pikachu out, May and Misty head for Route 4.

"So dude, wanna go back to Pallet?" asked Josh.

"Yes, that would be excellent." said Oak, as he got in the steak care, and he and Josh head off for home.

Tracey & Motohashi

Finally exiting Route 5, Tracey and Motohashi saw a smal gatehouse. They entered the musty house, and saw a small staircase leading downstairs to a road known as The Underground Road, which seemed spooky, which was.

The Underground Road led passengers from Cerulean to Vermillion. It was a very dark road, and there were small Rattata running around. Tracey and Motohashi were very nervous. Motohashi couldn't see a thing, but he had an idea, "I'll use Abra to light up the road, Abra use Flash!" said he. Abra came out, but instead of using the attack, it just slept. Motohashi recalled it, and fell anime style.

"Motohashi, I think you're gonna have a pretty hard time with that thing!" laughed Tracey. Motohashi laughed too.

"Electrode, help us out here!" said Tracey, throwing out a Pokeball. Electrode came out, laughing. It used Flash, lighting up the road.

From farther down The Underground Road, a boy looked at Tracey, Electrode, and Motohashi.

"Can it be?"

[Dewgongtears]

Nice Chapter. So May, Misty and Prof Oak are fianlly free and Tracey is getting bothered by his fellow companion. I wonder who that boy will turn out to be.

[DannyBoy]

That was a good chapter. Tracy is getting annoyed lol. Hope he dont go psycho! Misty and May helped out and that was good. I noticed just a few lil errors but it was a good chapter. Keep it up!

Motohashi has Abra and thats a cool new pokemon for him to have. The surf dude is really fuuny helping Oak, May, and Misty out.

[Dragon_Claw]

Hi Hanada. I'm back from Croatia and this chapter ruled. I love the cliffhanger; the boy is either Tyler or Sheu.

[Chris 2.1]

Hey Hanada, you aint been at MA for ages! We have a comp on, so check it next time youre around!

Ok, to stop advertising:

This chapter was alright, but you had a Tracey part that was like 3 paragraphs -_-;; so it wasn't really necessery, was it? lol. I remember Chapter 9 of FRTC had about 10 POV's! BTW, you should maybe try 1st person if you want to emphasise Tracey's........bad terms with whatsshisname. It would help. Maybe Oak can get rescued soon? Although I'd like to see Pikachu get shot, or just someone...

If i tried charging my mobile it would probably explode, since in the UK I think CELL phones are different from MOBILE phones. I think...


anyway, adios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hanada Tattsu]

Okay, all, sorry I was away for so long, just being lazy. :S No, I was in San Francisco and taking a break from TPM, so a new chapter is up today!

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 56 - The Pious Little Boy

Tracey and Motohashi

Tracey and Motohashi continued to walk in The Underground Road, which connected the metropolitan city of Cerulean, to one of the port cities of Kanto, Vermillion. As night fell, The Underground Road started to get darker, even with Electrode's Flash.

"Wow, Motohashi, it's getting hard to see in here, even with Electrode's Flash." exclaimed Tracey, who was getting worried.

"Tracey, do you have the time?" asked Motohashi.

Tracey looked at his left wrist, and told Motohashi that it was already eight o'clock. Motohashi yawned.

"Do you want to camp out in here?" asked Tracey.

"Are you nuts? Who knows who passes in this road at night? This connects two major cities, I mean, they might steal our clothes, or they might kill us or something," said the overreactive Motohashi.

"What's it to you? You sleep naked!" said Tracey. Motohashi chuckled, as did Electrode, who was still out, but was quickly getting tired, soon it stopped rolling.

"Electrode, you okay buddy?" asked Tracey, running to his friend. Electrode lay there, panting.

"Thanks pal, you need a rest!" said Tracey, recalling the panting Pokeball Pokemon back to its Pokeball.

As Tracey recalled Electrode, the whole room became black. Tracey then released Charmeleon. The lizard came out, it had not been out for a while. It streched and hugged Tracey. It's tail then lit up the path, as they continued.

"Can it be?"

A rather thin boy ran toward the group. He had black hair and relatively darker skin.

"Tracey, do you remember me?"

Tracey almost fell over.

"OMAR?"

Josh and Proffesor Oak

As the steak delivery car came to a stop at Proffesor Oak's Lab, Oak came out, and so did his Corphish. Corphish was happy to be home, it ran into the backyard and jumped into the pond.

"Thank you, Josh, it was nice of ya!" said Oak.

"My pleasure dude, and what about those steaks?" asked Josh.

"Later. Whenever I eat outside, I'll choose Viridian Steak A-Go-Go!" said Oak, as he said bye to Josh and recalled Corphish, who was still swimming in the pool, and went inside.

Once inside, he took a quick shower, shaved, and Corphish also took a hot bath. Pallet Town was asleep, but Oak and Corphish ate a hearty dinner, and Corphish went to his room, where he watched television, and finally went to bed. Oak did the same. Soon, Oak and Corphish were too safe.

May and Misty

May and Misty finally reached Cerulean City, after their rather blatant detour in Mt. Moon. Cerulean at night was beautiful, there were a lot of modern lights, and also, since it was a Saturday, a lot of people were out and about in the malls.

The skyscrapers were beautiful, the fifth largest building in Kanto was in Cerulean, and the skyscraper towered high in the sky, with an observation tower at the top.

"Wow, Misty, we can go battle at the gym tommorow, let's go see the tower!" said May, with her eyes glittery.

"Are you nuts! We haven't eaten, washed and slept properly for days! We have to go to the Pokemon Center!" said Misty.

"Noo! But I wanna see the tower!" said May. Misty rolled her eyes and dragged May to the Pokemon Center.

Once in the Pokemon Center, May and Misty rented a room from Nurse Joy and her Chansey and went in. The Pokemon Center was twelve stories high, and it was also a hotel. May and Misty's room was on the twelfth floor. Once there, May and Misty took their showers, ordered a delicious meal, and released their Pokemon so they can bathe and eat as well.

Soon, they were asleep too, but May's last words before she went to sleep were "I want to see the tower!"!

May and Misty and their Pokemon were too safe.

Jessie and James

Jessie and James, late at night, sat in a prison cell in The Valencia Jail, overlooking The Valencia Mountains. Jessie was sitting on the bed, James on the floor, and Meowth was on the floor as well, licking all he could from his Pina Colada remains.

Beautifly and Dustox also fluttered around the dirty ceiling, and Trapinch, preoccupied with Jessie's hair, didn't think much of it, but Bagon was homesick, he was tired, and hungry.

"The Boss is going to kill us." said James.

"Yes, we did so well for some time, and now, we're doing zilch!" said Jessie. "The Boss will be so angry when he finds out."

Suddenly, the officer on duty came.

"Come on, you're out on bail. A lady who refrains to name her name has come to get you." said the guard.

Jessie and James sat up. Meowth threw the glass away, and Dustox and Beautifly started flying energetically, and Trapinch started dancing with Bagon.

They walked to the desk to see an old woman of about ninety years standing there. She had white hair, small, beady eyes, and tight, compressed lips. Her skin was very wrinkled, and she was hunched. She wore 1900 age glasses, and walked around with a cane. She was wearing a black dress.

Jessie gasped.

"BOSS ROCKET!" screamed Meowth.

"Who's Boss Rocket?" asked the Guard.

"Uh, no one..." said James. They were then bailed, and Boss Rocket rushed out, along with Team Rocket.

Boss Rocket was the mother of Giovanni, and officially, she was even more evil than her son. She had killed so many people in her life, they said that blood had made her lips red. She wasn't the boss, but still, she did create Team Rocket, so that's why everyone called her that.

"So, why did you bail us, Boss?" asked James, as they sat on a Valencia bench in The Venetian. It was Saturday night, so everyone was awake, and all the stores were open.

Boss Rocket thought for a moment, and then continued.

Tracey and Motohashi

"Omar, what are you doing here? How did you lose so much weight?" asked Tracey.

"Well, I was a bad kid then, Tracey. I realized that I was being terrible to my Pokemon, and that it was me who was becoming depressed, so I went on a diet. I became best friends with my Pokemon, and instead of being Athiest, I became Christian. So, I'm a Christian Englishman." said Omar.

"That's great, I guess we can be friends now." said Tracey, offering his hand to shake.

"Yes, we can be!" smiled Omar, as she shook Tracey's hand.

"Wait, someone is neglecting to tell me something. Who is Omar?" asked Motohashi.

"Omar was my opponent in the Orange League semi-finals. I defeated him, and then he had a grudge against me. I met up with him in Viridian Forest, and I defeated him in a battle." explained Tracey, as Omar nodded.

"Speaking of that, how about a little 1 on 1 battle?" asked Omar. Tracey nodded.

It was 10:00 as the battle started.

Sheu

Sheu had quit digging. He had found that there was some kind of a door that went into a secret Team Rocket hideout. He peeked through the door, and saw that Giovanni, the leader of the entire Team Rocket was sitting on the couch. He decided to just leave the scene, or he and his Pokemon might lose their life.

He went in Viridian City, and just stopped at the Pokemon Center to eat lunch and heal his Pokemon. He headed through Viridian Forest, and finally into Pewter. The small town had about 14 high rise buildings, but the Pokemon Center there was one of the cleanest in Kanto.

Sheu got a nice, clean room, healed his Pokemon, took a bath, as did his Pokemon, and had a hearty dinner, and he went to bed. From his fifteen story window, he could see the Pewter skyline.

Sheu planned to battle Tracey someday, but he did indeed regard Tracey as competition.

Drew, Andrea, and Proffesor Ivy

As it was Saturday night, Drew, Andrea, and Proffesor Ivy decided to go to the Venetian. They sat on a bench, as Smeargle, Miltank, and Wailmer all conversed.

"I'm so tired. I did a lot of research on water Pokemon today." said Ivy.

"Why? It was a Saturday, why didn't you take a break for once?" said Drew.

"I know, Alicia, you work way too hard." said Andrea, but Drew gasped.

"Hey, aren't those those clumsy Rockets that used to follow Tracey?" asked Drew.

Andrea and Alicia looked. Suddenly, Boss Rocket noticed that they were looking at them, and ordered Jessie and James to head for The Valencia Mountains, where the Kanto President had exiled her forty years before.

They headed for the cabin.

"Hmm, maybe we were mistaken." said Drew, and they continued their Saturday night.


To Be Continued...






















A Chapter Preview will be up tommorow, and Chapter 57 on Wednesday.

[DannyBoy]

Welcome back! It has been a long time since you been here. That was a good chapter! It is cool that Omar is back. I wonder how the battle will go between him and Tracy. I wonder if he did the Jenny Craig diet or the slim fast diet, hmm lol. I also cant wait for the gym battle. May was funny wanting to go to the tower and Misty having to drag her to the pokemon center and I like the idea of Boss Rocket, very intresting. Keep it up!

[RJdude]

Well then, I haven't seen you around these parts in a while...

Anyway, good chapter. It was good to see Omar, and I'm glad he changed his ways (him being CHristian, couldn't see that one coming). Boss Rocket seems like a good villian. Keep it up.

- Tracey and Omar battle it out, Tracey was the victor the first two times, but who will win now?
"Okay, Hitmontop, use your Triple Kick!" ordered Omar, his fist clenched. Hitmontop started rolling towards Machop, turning fast, ready to kick Machop.
"Machop, use Cross Chop!" said Tracey. Machop nodded, and started to block the kick, but it was kicked in the jaw anyway, and fell down. Motohashi was getting worried, Tracey looked like he was going to lose.

- Boss Rocket gives Jessie and James an ultimatum
"I don't know why my idiot son sent you to the Orange Islands. He must have thought that you bird brains were much better than the other Rocket Executives" said Boss Rocket, her breathing heavy. Jessie looked angry, but James and Meowth sat there, listening to the old hag speak.
"You are going back to Kanto, I think that if you stay here, you're going to cause a lot more trouble for Team Rocket than you would in Kanto." said Boss Rocket.
Meowth spoke up. "What would the Boss do?"
Boss Rocket spoke up as well, louder. "Who cares, I'll calm him down easily. All he's done is ruin Team Rocket."
Jessie couldn't stand this any longer. "Boss, he has the harp."
Boss Rocket looked at Jessie, eyes wide.

- May and Misty battle Taylor in a two on two battle, It's not easy.
"Mudkip, use Water Gun!" ordered Taylor, as the mud kipper fired a cold blast of water at Flaffy. It hit, making the electric wool Pokemon shiver and making its fur all wet.
"Do the same, Vaporeon!" said Taylor, as the acid armor fired the same water at Pikachu, doing the same.
May and Misty were in trouble, this was their first two on two battle, and Taylor's Vaporeon and Mudkip were beating May's Flaffy and Misty's Pikachu.
"You stupid ditz! All you wanted to do was see the stupid tower! We should have trained!" said Misty, slapping May.
May started to whine.

Author's Note

Well, after not writing for two weeks, I was just itching to write more, so I figured I would write another chapter. Well, here is what I think is one of my finest, so here's the newest chapter!


The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 57 - The Fighting Rematch

By Hanada

Tracey and Motohashi

Deep in The Underground Road, darkness had fallen. Motohashi stood behind Tracey, with Charmeleon next to him, his flame tail lighting up the dark, mysterious, underground of Kanto.

Tracey stood in front of Omar, the now pious Christian with a hand on one of his Pokeballs on his waist.

"I have two badges, Tracey, and my Pokemon have grown in terms of strength, and especially know that they are my best friends, they are much tougher than they were before." said Omar.

"I have two badges too, Omar, and I am officially the victor of the Orange League! So, let's end this!" said Tracey, his fist clenched.

"For my Pokemon, I'll choose Hitmontop!" said Omar, as he threw out a Fast Ball onto the cememted road. It opened, and out came a rather wierd looking Pokemon, with three feet on top, and a head on the bottom.

"What a wierd Pokemon..." said Motohashi.

"My Tyrouge evolved at the Cerulean Gym! Now, it's a strong powerhouse!" said Omar.

Tracey thought. Hitmontop looked really good. Seadra, Electrode, and Charmeleon were mostly weak to fighting types, Hitmontop could defeat them. Machop might work, after all it beat the opponent when it was a Tyrouge, and if Machop won this, it may evolve into a Machoke, which would do Tracey wonders at the Vermillion City Gym coming up.

"Well, Omar, I beat ya once, I think I can do it again! Go, Machop!" cried Tracey, as he threw the Fast Ball onto the arena. It opened, and out came Machop, flexing its muscles, with a grin on its face, it ran to Tracey and punched him in the stomach, again.

"Looks like Machop never really learned his lesson!" laughed Omar, as Tracey weakly got up with some of Motohashi's help.

"Let's start this off, Machop, use your Karate Chop!" cried Tracey. Machop started running toward Hitmontop, arms outstreched.

"Hitmontop, use Detect!" cried Omar. As Machop was racing towards Hitmontop with his arms ready to chop the Hitmontop in half, Hitmontop glew blue. It then just stood there.

"That's a pointless attack." said Tracey, and Omar chuckled.

Machop ran faster towards Hitmontop, but when he tried to attack it, it seemed as if a screen was blocking Hitmontop, and Machop fell back.

"What the..?" began Tracey, but Omar interrupted.

"Detect blocks the opponent's moves for two turns. You can't attack."

"Then we'll just Bulk Up!" ordered Tracey, as Machop glew red. When it stopped glowing, Machop's muscles too looked much bigger, and he looked ready to throw Hitmontop to the ground.

"But we can still attack! Hitmontop use Rollout!" ordered Omar, Hitmontop started to spin around and around, and it hit Machop clear to the other side of the Underground Road. But because Machop was bulked up, it was ready.

"Machop!" yelled Tracey, "Attack it with a Hi Jump Kick!" ordered Tracey. Machop started running full speed towards Hitmontop, and kicked two of its feet.

Hitmontop flew clear to the other side of the arena.

"Hitmontop, get back up and use Rollout!" ordered Omar. Hitmontop again started rolling at full speed towards Machop. Tracey bit his lip.

Soon, Hitmontop hit Machop to the wall, and the Pokemon fell down, but got up again.

"Okay, Hitmontop, use your Triple Kick!" ordered Omar, his fist clenched. Hitmontop started rolling towards Machop, turning fast, ready to kick Machop.
"Machop, use Cross Chop!" said Tracey. Machop nodded, and started to block the kick, but it was kicked in the jaw anyway, and fell down. Motohashi was getting worried, Tracey looked like he was going to lose.

"Now, finish it with Triple Kick!" cried Omar, as Hitmontop kicked Machop to the end of the arena. The superpower Pokemon fainted.

"Great job, Hitmontop, we did it!" cried Omar, as he hugged his Hitmontop.

Tracey ran to Machop. "Machop, are you okay?"

Machop nodded weakly, and got up. He then socked Tracey in the stomach.

"Okay, now I know that you're okay!" laughed Tracey, and recalled Machop.

"That was a great battle, Omar, I guess we both have lots to learn!" laughed Tracey.

"Yeah, we do!" said Omar. "Oh, and it was a pleasure meeting you..."

"Oh, my name's Motohashi." said Motohashi, shaking hands with Omar. "Oh, and how did you lose the weight that you said you lost?"

Omar chuckled. "Slimfast, Jenny Craig, and running on Route 4 sixty times." Motohashi gasped, he had ran along Route 4 100 times once.

"Well, I'm gonna run along to Vermillion City, there's a Pokemon Center in the Underground Road if you want to camp out there!" said Omar, as he recalled Hitmontop and ran along the road.

"See ya, Omar!" said Tracey and Motoahshi together.

"Bye, good luck on your journey!" said Omar, as he ran along to Vermillion City.

After walking a bit more, with Charmeleon's guidence, they finally reached the Pokemon Center. It was small, but Nurse Joy and Chansey gave Tracey and Motohashi a relatively big room. There they spent the night.

Jessie and James

After recalling their Pokemon, Jessie, James, Meowth, and Boss Rocket were walking toward Boss Rocket's small cabin at the heart of The Valencia Mountains.

They finally reached it in the morning. It was made out of brick, and was pretty small. There was a humble gate around it, with grass and a small pond and flowers in the front yard. It didn't look like the house of a woman notorious for her crime in exile.

They entered. It was pretty lavish. The living room had a red couch with two armchairs and a glass coffee table. There was a television and a radio in the living room as well. There was a table for eating, and in the kitchen there was a fridge, a sink, and a laundry machine. Inside the bedroom, was a television, a radio, and a photo of Boss Rocket's husband and Giovanni. There was also a bed, an armchair, and a window looking over the backyard, which had grass, flowers, and a pond where lillypads were present.

"This is gorgeous, Boss Rocket!" said Jessie. Meowth was amazed.

"Thank you. While we discuss somethings, why don't you let the Pokemon go and play in the backyard?" asked Boss Rocket.

"Sure! Go, Beautifly and Trapinch!" said Jessie, as she released her Pokemon. Beautifly went outside, and started to flutter around in the air, while Trapinch slept on the grass.

"Go, Dustox, and Bagon!" said James. Dustox fluttered around with Beautifly, and Bagon slept in the flower beds.

"Do you want anything?" asked Boss Rocket.

"Oh, no, we're fine." said James and Jessie, together.

"Boss, can I have a Pina Colada." said Meowth.

"Yes, you may" grunted Boss Rocket, and went inside the fridge, and made a quick Pina Colada, Meowth gulped it up in minutes.

"Now, on a sadder note, what the hell are you doing here?" said Boss Rocket, in a grumpy sort of tone.

James and Meowth were too scared to speak, but Jessie had the courage. "Boss Giovanni sent us here." Boss Rocket nodded.

"I don't know why my idiot son sent you to the Orange Islands. He must have thought that you bird brains were much better than the other Rocket Executives" said Boss Rocket, her breathing heavy. Jessie looked angry, but James and Meowth sat there, listening to the old hag speak.
"You are going back to Kanto, I think that if you stay here, you're going to cause a lot more trouble for Team Rocket than you would in Kanto." said Boss Rocket.
Meowth spoke up. "What would the Boss do?"
Boss Rocket spoke up as well, louder. "Who cares, I'll calm him down easily. All he's done is ruin Team Rocket."
Jessie couldn't stand this any longer. "Boss, he has the harp."
Boss Rocket looked at Jessie, eyes wide.

"Celebi's HARP?" she asked, James nodded.

"Who stole it from O'Keefe and Delchy" grunted the hag.

"We did, madam." said Meowth.

Old Boss Rocket kissed Jessie and James, happily. The old woman started to do a dance.

"I am overjoyed! For my fifty years as boss of Team Rocket, I wanted to get that damn harp, but I didn't succeed! Now, you have it!" said Boss Rocket.

"Mamm, we want to go back to Kanto." said James.

"Yes, here's all the money! Go get on the next ship for the port of Vermillion City, I'll persuade Giovanni to let you stay there." said Boss Rocket.

She gave them $200, and then drove them out. Meowth kept the Pina Colada cup, and they headed for Valencia Port, where they were going to head to Vermillion Harbor.

May and Misty

It was already morning. May and Misty had checked out of the Pokemon Center, and they planned to go to the gym. But May was still nagging Misty about the tower.

"Misty, please, let's go to the Cerulean Tower!" nagged May.

"May, you've been yelling that all night, can you just let it go?" cried Misty.

"Well, I mean, we have to train for the gym, the Kanto gyms are much harder than the Orange gyms." reminded Misty.

"NOOOO!" nagged May, so Misty, tired of May's screeching, decided to go to the tower. The Cerulean Tower was huge. It was 50 stories high. They went on the elevator to the top, where a whole bunch of people were looking at Kanto, from the top of the tower.

Since it was a clear day, you could see Vermillion City as well as even as far away as Celadon City. May made Misty stay there for two hours, until it was noon. Then, May wanted to go to the gym.

They went down to the gym, the same blue building that Tracey and Motohashi were at a few days before. May and Misty entered the gym, and saw Taylor standing there.

"Well, well, two challengers are always nice to have!" said Taylor.

"Well, I'm May, and this is Misty. We want a Cascade Badge!" said May, her fist clenched.

"Well, this will be a Double Battle, where we each send out two Pokemon. I'm Taylor, by the way, and I train water types.

Misty whispered something in May's ear. "This Dutch guy trains water types, if we use our electric type Pokemon, we should beat him hands on."

"Well, if you beat me, you'll get the Cascade Badge! The two Pokemon that I am gonna use, are, Mudkip, and Vaporeon!" cried Taylor, as he threw out his two Dive Balls. Mudkip and Vaporeon came out, ready for battle.

"Well, we've already prepared for your weak water types; Flaffy, hit it!" ordered May, as she threw her Love Ball onto the arena. The pink sheep came out, and flexed her muscles.

"And, Pikachu, Go!" ordered Misty, throwing her Love Ball out and revealing the cute electric mouse.

"I thought that you would use that strategy!" said Taylor chuckling. Both May and Misty were rather puzzled.

"Mudkip, use Water Gun!" ordered Taylor, as the mud kipper fired a cold blast of water at Flaffy. It hit, making the electric wool Pokemon shiver and making its fur all wet.
"Do the same, Vaporeon!" said Taylor, as the acid armor fired the same water at Pikachu, doing the same.
May and Misty were in trouble, this was their first two on two battle, and Taylor's Vaporeon and Mudkip were beating May's Flaffy and Misty's Pikachu.
"You stupid ditz! All you wanted to do was see the stupid tower! We should have trained!" said Misty, slapping May.
May started to whine.

Would they win? Or would they lose?

Find out next time!

Author's Note

Okay, I really wanted to put down to paper Chapter 58. It is one of my best chapters yet, and I kinda hope that you guys feel the same way about it. Enjoy!


The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 58 - Mio

By Hanada

Tracey and Motohashi were still in The Underground Road, alking towards Vermillion City, where they would both attempt to win a Thunder Badge from the Vermillion City Gym.

It was now early afternoon, and the duo exited the underground path, and as they exited, the sun shone down upon them, making Tracey and Motohashi exited to finally be out of a dark crevice that seemed to never end.

Motohashi streched his arms. "Finally, we're out of this damned underground road, we're finally near civilization!" He started dancing around, frantically.

"Return, Charmeleon, thank you!" said Tracey, as he recalled Charmeleon, who's tail had all this time been guiding them through the underground crevice.

"So, Tracey, what route are we on?" asked Motohashi.

"We're on Route 6."

Route 6 led from The Underground Road to Vermillion City. Route 6 was very agricultural, there were farms and grass all around. Pidgey, Rattata, and Bulbasaur ran through the grass, and it was a very nice, quiet route. However, this was all to end, when the six mile route ended, at Vermillion City.

Vermillion City was the second largest city in Kanto. It was huge, after all, it was the port city of Kanto. As Tracey and Motohashi entered the metropolitan city, they gasped. There were malls, shopping centers, and skyscrapers everywhere, in fact, Tracey read in his Kanto Guide book that Vermillion City had over 500 skyscrapers and high rises!

People flocked the streets, all shapes, sizes, and moods.

"Wow, this is Vermillion City!?" asked Motohashi, gasping.

"Yup, we've reached the second largest city of Kanto." said Tracey, nodding his head.


*

"There he is, we've finally found him."

"Jackson, is it risky enough to just go there in the middle of Vermillion City and kidnap him?"

"Yes, Allissa, it's Maxie's orders. We lost Proffesor Oak and those girls, and the boss is already mad at us. We can't lose Motohashi!"

Jackson and Allissa, executives of Team Magma, were sent to Vermillion City by Maxie, who had ordered that they kindap Motohashi and bring him to him, alive.

"What should we do?" asked Allissa. They were hiding behind a park bench, in a neglected corner of the city. Tracey and Motohashi, coincidentally had wandered there, as well. As they sat looking around for the Pokemon Center, Jackson ordered Allissa to send out their Pokemon so they can go kidnap Motohashi for them.

"Go, Numel, go get that traitor!" ordered Allissa. Numel came out, a frown already on its face. The ditzy yellow camel awaited orders.

"Slugma, you too!" ordered Jackson. Slugma came out, its lava boiling with anger. They wanted to get Motohashi just as much as Maxie did.

As Motohashi noticed Numel and Slugma awaited him, he shouted to Tracey, "Run"! He then started sprinting.

Tracey, confused, also saw the fire Pokemon advancing towards them, and went after Motohashi, running as fast as he possibly could.

Jackson and Allissa noticed. "What's that little brat doing? After them!" she ordered. They ran as fast as they could after Tracey and Motohashi.

"Who the hell are they?" asked Tracey, panting.

"Some evil people. Team Magma. It's an evil organization like Team Rocket, they want to turn the world into land. They are very sinister." said Motohashi, during breaths.

"WAIT!" shouted Allissa. Numel and Slugma stopped as did Jackson.

"What the hell? We had him ready!" said Jackson, as he watched Tracey and Motohashi dissapear.

"Jackson, there's a little brat with him. If we get Motohashi, he'll go to the police. Plus, I know who his father is, some kind of art historian. He's friends with the Tsar of Valencia Island. If we do anything to them, we and all of Team Magma could be murdered!" cried Allisa.

"Your point?"

"Well, we should get Motohashi when he's by himself, when he's vulnerable."

"I see."

With that, they walked off, back to the Metro Bus which would take them back to Mt. Moon, emptyhanded.


*

Mio walked back from the Vermillion City Gym, her fainted Oddish in her arms. She had already one two badges in Kanto, and she only had one Pokemon, Oddish. Her Oddish she had caught on Route 1, as her family was from Pallet Town. She had easily defeated Taylor and Brock, but her Oddish had had a hard time with Lt. Surge, the Vermillion Gym Leader.


*

After healing their Pokemon at the Center, Motohashi and Tracey headed for the Vermillion Gym. They wanted to win their badges early, so they could head on for Celadon City, but they couldn't find it. Tracey, however, knew that Motohashi knew something that he wasn't saying anything about.

"Motohashi, I know you know why Team Magma was chasing us."

"Tracey, for the tenth time, I've only heard of Team Magma, I'm not a member of it!"

Tracey shook his head. He admired Motohashi, but he didn't know if he could fully trust him.

Suddenly, they saw a girl on the floor crying. She had shoulder hight black hair, she was, like Motohashi, Japanese, and was wearing a sundress. She had a fainted Oddish in her arms, and people were walking by looking at her like she was crazy. The Vermillion Gym was nearby.

"Come on, Motohashi, let's just go to the gym, she's a loon."

Motohashi, however, was blushing at the site of the girl.

"No, I wanna help her, maybe there's something wrong with her..." thought Motohashi, and ran to the aid of the girl.

"Is something wrong? Are you okay?"

As Motohashi tryed to comfort the girl, Tracey became curious and walked by.

"Oh, I tryed to battle the Vermillion Gym Leader, and his Pokemon defeated my Oddish here." she said, between sobs. "When I lost, she called my a stupid b**ch and said I should marry my father!" said the girl.

"Come on." said Motohashi, putting the girl on his back and carrying her to the Pokemon Center, as Tracey held the fainted Oddish. The girl fainted.


*

In the Vermillion City Pokemon Center, Tracey had rented two rooms, one for him and Motohashi, and one for this mysterious girl.

They were in the girl's room. Tracey was preparing some Japanese Green Tea, and Motohashi was by the girl's side, waiting for her to wake.

Soon, Nurse Joy came in the room. Chansey was behind her, carrying a healthy Oddish. Tracey poured the Green Tea in a glass and checked the Oddish.

"Nurse, is the Oddish okay?"

"Yes, Tracey." replied Nurse Joy, as Chansey put the Oddish on the bed next to her master.

Oddish walked around happily, but appeared sad around her master, she felt this was her falt.

Suddenly, the girl came to.

"Are you okay?" said Motohashi, as she opened her eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just sad that I lost. Is Oddish okay?" said the girl, looking around.

Oddish nuzzled her leaves on the top of her head against the girl..

"I'm sorry Oddish, I didn't mean to work you so hard." said the girl, Oddish smiled.

"Thank you for saving me!" said the girl, thanking Motohashi and Tracey.

"Oh, it was our pleasure."

"By the way, my name is Mio Keiichi. I'm 25." said Mio.

"I'm Motohashi, and this is Tracey." said Motohashi, as they shook hands.

"I'm from Pallet Town, I live with my parents there, and I caught my best friend Oddish on Route 1. I have two badges, the Boulder Badge and the Cascade Badge, and Oddish is my only Pokemon." said Mio.

"I'm Tracey, from Valencia Island. I live with my parents, and I'm the champion of the Orange League. I also have the Boulder Badge and the Cascade Badge, and my starter is Seadra, and I also have an Electrode, a Charmeleon, and a Machop."

"I'm Motohashi, from Saffron City, I live with my mother, and I have two badges, the Boulder Badge and the Cascade Badge. My starter was Porygon, and I also have an Aba."

He wanted to add something more, but he quickly reconsidered.

"Well, since we're about the same rank, how about we travel together?" asked Mio, as Oddish nuzzled her.

"Fine by me, how does it sound to you, Tracey?"

Tracey thought. He noticed that Mio seemed very nice, and he nodded. "Sure, it would be great!"

"Thanks!"

Mio smiled, as did Oddish. Tracey handed her the green tea, and she drank it all up.


*

Soon, it was around 9:00 P.M. To welcome Mio to the group, the trio went to a fancy restaurant, known as Nagoya Nihon Sushi, or Nagoya Japan Sushi. The Pokemon were able to eat in the back seperately.

Seadra and Electrode ate together, eating their sushi. Charmeleon ate with Porygon, they had become friends. Machop and Oddish were becoming fast friends, and Abra was asleep, but when he woke up he ate his sushi with Seadra and Electrode.

After dinner, they returned to the Pokemon Center. It was 30 stories high, and they had a room on the thirteith floor. They all decided to share a room, and the window was facing Vermillion Tower, which was ninety stories high.

The room was spacious. They would be staying here for a week, as Mio said that the leader accepts a match a day. There were two blue couches and two blue armchairs, in the middle a coffee table and next to the armchair a side table. There was a television with a DVD player and a VHS player on the television, which had cable.

The kitchen had a stove, a toaster oven, a stove, a refridgeator and a freezer, and a table to eat on. There were three bedrooms, all the same size. All had a televsion with VHS and DVD players, and all had a radio with a CD and tape player. The living room also had a radio with a CD and tape player. The rooms had dressers and mirrors, and also a bedside table and a huge king sized bed.

Each room also had bay windows, as did the living room. Every room, in addition to the bay windows had balconies, as did the liiving room. There was also a video phone and a fax machine, and a computer with internet.


*

It was midnight, and the group sat in the living room, talking. Mio and Motohashi sat on the couch, and Tracey sat on the armchair.

"So, was Lt. Surge tough?" asked Tracey.

"And rude." replied Mio. "He called my poor Oddish a stupid weak weed."

"We'll beat him. We'll beat him." said Motohashi, laughing, as Mio laughed too. Tracey glared at Motohashi. The Team Magma incident earlier had rung a bell in Tracey's ear. This guy had some sort of secret tied around him, and Tracey had to find it, otherwise the innocent lives of him and Mio were in danger with this guy around...

[Dragon_Claw]

I liked both chapters. If Team Magma is evil, what is the porygon guy. Also Mio sounds like a cool addition, I'm just afraid they'll lock Tracey out. And it's too bad we didn't hear of Misty and May. I would want to know if they lose or win. And if there are 2 guys and one girl with Tracey, does that mean May and Misty can expect a male companion. And when we hear more about Misty and Tracey's love. And May should get a boyfriend as well :)

Whoo, big replie

[RJdude]

Really good chapters, especially 58. Mio is a good character, we'll probably see something of a relationship with Motohashi. And I wonder what's up with him and Team Magma? Meowth was pretty funny with his Pina Colada. Keep at it.

[Dewgongtears]

Those were cool chapters. Milo sounds like a compromising character in future chapters. These chapters have been good and I am sorry I have not kept up but I have been busy.

Dragon_Claw ~ Thanks! Well, Motohashi can be considered evil, but I think mysterious is a better word. And who said he has anything to do with Team Magma? And we'll see the match in the next chapter?

RJDude ~ Thanks! Yeah, well, he may have something to do with Team Magma, or he may be infatuated with something else, we'll see...

DewgongTears ~ Thanks! Yeah, Mio is a nice addition, it's okay, thanks for reading!

The new chapter should be up Saturday.

The Kanto Pokemon Federation

Chapter 59 - Old Mrs. Aichi and the Miracle Herb

By Hanada

It was a nice, sunny, beautiful day in Valencia Island. The sun was shining, lots of people were on the beach, getting a tan, or surfing the waves of The Valencia Sea. Almost everyone was out and about, and everybody was happy. Even Tsar Nicholas the II of Valencia Island, and his wife Tsarena Alexandira were out of The Kremlin, on the beach. Their children, Olga, Maria, Tatania, Anastasia, and the young Tsarevitch Alexander were on the beach of Valencia.

Sadly, Andrea Sketchit was sitting at the table in her home. Her blue eyes were looking down at the floor, but in reality, her eyes seemed to be staring far off into the distance. Tears started flowing in her eyes, and she soon broke out in tears. Miltank, who had been asleep next to the table, noticed her master in tears and walked over to Andrea. The cow Pokemon started to comfort her.

Soon, Drew walked in. He saw his wife crying, and rushed over to her side. Smeargle too,who walked in the room with Drew, went up to his girlfriend, Miltank and asked what was the matter.

"Hunny, what's the matter?" asked Drew, frantically.

"Oh, sorry darling, I'm just so worried!" said Andrea, as she took a tissue and wiped her tears from her face.

"Why would you be worried? Valencia Island is fine, it's a beautiful day, let's go have some fun!" said Drew. Miltank and Smeargle nodded.

"Well, about Tracey. I thought those Rocket loons were gone, but it seems like they're up to their old tricks again." said Andrea, her head resting on Drew's shoulder.

"Tracey's the Orange League Champion. He could beat them in one hit." said Drew.

"That may be true, but Team Rocket doesn't only have Pokemon, they also have guns and weapons." said Andrea, and just the thought made her blue eyes open wide, tears starting to formulate in them.

"He'll be fine." said Drew, comforting Andrea by kissing her on the cheek.

"Oh, darling, I know, but after loosing Dannie, I just can't lose Tracey. He's just someone I love so much, I can't lose him..." said Andrea.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Drew answered the door, and it was Proffesor Ivy. She was wearing a bathing suit, with a surfboard in her arms. Her rather white skin was in a tan, and Wailmer was standing right next to her, looking at Ivy and blushing up a storm.

"Hello, Drew, Andrea, I can't stay for long, but I was wondering why you aren't coming down to the beach? The tsar is giving a speech!" said Ivy.

"Oh, we'll watch it on television. Andrea's not feeling too hot right now, she's worried that Team Rocket may harm Tracey in some way." said Drew.

"I understand.", said Ivy. "If there's anything I can do to help, I'm just next door." said Ivy.

"Thanks, Alicia." said Andrea, between sobs.

"Well, I'm gonna go surf some more! Come on Wailmer!", Alicia said, as she and Wailmer started heading for the beach again.

"He'll be fine." said Drew, as he, Smeargle, and Miltank headed for the living room to watch the Tsar's speech.

"Oh yes, Drew, he'll be fine. Will he be fine?" asked Andrea, staring out the window toward the beach.

Cerulean City, like Valencia Island, was enjoying a nice day. The skyscrapers were glistening in the sunlight, but unfortunately, May and Misty were still in the Pokemon Center. They had lost terribly against Taylor, his Mudkip and Vaporeon had defeated Flaffy and Pikachu.

"This is all your fault, you stupid ditz! All you do is whine, whine, whine, never do anything right! And it's because of you that my Pokemon and I were humiliated in that gym there!" cried Misty.

"Fine! If you're so intent on winning that damned badge, why are you in here yelling at me? Why don't you go back to the stupid gym and ask the Dutch guy for a rematch?" asked May.

Misty thought for a moment, nodded, and rushed out the door, with May staggering behind.

The Cerulean Gym looked the same. May and Misty entered it, and looked around for Taylor, who was standing in the same spot as before.

"I knew you two would be back! You guys were defeated after two water guns, but oh well, according to the Kanto League Rules, I have to accept your challenge." said Taylor, his blond hair glistening.

"Well, so, what are the circumstances of the match?" asked Misty, as May nodded.

"It will again be a double battle, so, I'll choose first! Mudkip, Vaporeon!" ordered Taylor. Mudkip and Vaporeon came back out of their Pokeballs, and stood on stands in the pool. Both were ready to battle.

"Go, Sunkern!" ordered Misty, sending a Pokeball out and revealed Sunkern. The small seed Pokemon looked determined.

"Go, Cleffa!" cried May, as the small, yet experienced Cleffa came out, laughing.

"This should be funny! Use Hydro Pump!" cried Taylor. Both Mudkip and Vaporeon inhaled and fired a huge gush of water. The water was huge and it started coming like a tornado at Sunkern and Cleffa.

"Cleffa, use Protect" ordered May. Cleffa glew pink. Soon, a pink balloon surrounded Sunkern and Cleffa, and the Hydro Pump was deflected.

"Now, our turn! Sunkern, use Vine Whip!" ordered Misty.

"Cleffa, use your Metronome!" ordered May.

From inside the barrier balloon, Sunkern fired a Vine Whip, however, Misty didn't realize that if Sunkern used a Vine Whip, it would break the balloon. When this happened, Sunkern and Cleffa fell to the ground, the barrier had popped.

However, Cleffa's Metronome was still in effect. Cleffa started saying its name, and then finished the attack.

"What was that?" asked May.

"It was the Growl attack. It does nothing in battle." said Misty, and May fell anime style.

"Now, use Take Down on Sunkern!" ordered Taylor. Vaporeon and Mudkip both ran towards Sunkern, and tackled it towards the gym wall. Sunkern was knocked out.

"SUNKERN!" cried Misty. She ran towards the little Pokemon, and cradled it in her arms. Suddenly, Sunkern started shaking. Misty put it down.

Mudkip, Vaporeon, and Cleffa looked with wide eyes as Sunkern started glowing white. It grew in size, and grew petals, and a long stem. When it stopped glowing, it looked like a sunflower, and had a smile on its face.

"Wow, Sunkern evolved into Sunflora!" cried Misty, with joy.

"Wow, congrats Misty, you have a Sunflora!" said May.

"Congratulations!" said Taylor.

Cleffa was overjoyed, and Mudkip and Vaporeon looked on.

"Wow, welcome to the group, Sunflora!" cried Misty, as Sunflora hugged her master.

"We can beat them! Use your Solarbeam!" ordered Misty.

"Cleffa, use Thundershock!" ordered May.

First. Sunflora started taking in solar energy. Taylor and his Pokemon were too scared to attack, as Sunflora kept taking in more solar energy into its petals, it then fired the beam at Mudkip and Vaporeon, who were both weakened very much. Cleffa then glew yellow, and sent an electric shock to Mudkip and Vaporeon, knocking them out.

"Return, Mudkip, Vaporeon! That was a nice match, you guys really know how to turn a match around!" said Taylor.

"Thanks, thank Sunflora and Cleffa!" said Misty, as she cradled her new Sunflora. May held Cleffa in her arms, but they recalled their Pokemon.

"Well, here are your Cascade Badges. You deserve them." said Taylor, giving May and Misty their badges. They put them in their badge cases next to their Boulder Badges.

"And, by the way, how would you like to come to my bedroom? I can show you some pictures of the bombing of Rotterdam of 1940. We can also take a nap..."said Taylor, but was interrupted by a slap from Misty.

"Go back to Amsterdam, Dutch-boy." said May, as they walked out of the gym with their new Cascade Badges.

Taylor sighed. "Bedankt for the lovely match.."

Jessie, James, and Meowth were currently on the ferry that led from Valencia Island to the port of Vermillion City. Boss Rocket had bid them farewell, but all three were worried. Beautifly and Dustox fluttered above their heads, and Trapinch was enjoying his lunch of Jessie hair. Bagon was seasick, and was throwing up overboard.

"Poor Bagon, I feel bad for him." said James, looking at Bagon.

"You should feel bad for all of us. Boss Giovanni is gonna kill us for coming back." said Meowth, enjoying his Pina Colada which he had gotten on the ship.

"Oh, shut up. I hate how Meowth and Persian are the only Pokemon in the world which can talk." said Jessie. Trapinch continued to chew on her hair. Jessie finally got it off, but then it started throwing up with Bagon. Soon, Beautifly and Dustox even started throwing up.

"Attention! We should be reaching the port city of Vermillion in Kanto! Get your passports ready!" said the announcer. The passengers started getting their passports out.

"Passports? Nobody told us about passports!" said James.

"Oh no!" said Meowth.

"If we don't have passports, we'll get arrested!" cried Jessie.

"And that means no pina coladas!" cried Meowth.


*

Giovanni was sitting in his secret hideout, on the couch. He was kind of bored, he had done a lot that day, but didn't feel like driving around Kanto. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello?" grunted Giovanni.

"Giovanni?" said an old woman's voice on the phone. It was Boss Rocket, or Madame Boss.

"Mother? What are you calling me for?" asked Giovanni. Boss Rocket was on the other line. She was mostly known as Madame Boss, because she was Giovanni's boss.

"I wanted to confirm, that Jessie and James should be gone officially forever." said Madame Boss.

"WHY? WHY, you crippled old hag? They're the ones who got us the harp!" cried Giovanni.

"They were in jail in Valencia Island. They decieved you." said Madame Boss. "They're on the ferry to Vermillion right now, they need their passports to be granted into Kanto, and they have no passports."

"Damn, I'm going to Vermillion right now."

He hung up, and ordered the Rocket Grunt, who had returned to help him out. The Grunt then headed for Vermillion City.


*

Vermillion City, the port city of Kanto, was also in good spirts. Many people were also at the beach, but Tracey, Motohashi, and their new friend Mio were looking around the business center of Vermillion City.

"So, Mio, are you going to attempt to challenge the Vermillion Gym again?" asked Motohashi.

"Well, of course, but my Oddish is gonna lose badly again." said Mio, her black eyes deep in thought.

"Well, I want to find some kind of store where we can get some items for our Pokemon. We should buy some items for the Pokemon that we're going to use in our match with the gym leader here.

Soon, they found an old store. It looked like it had been around a long time. It was wooden, and the store owner was very old, maybe older than Mrs. Delchy, Mr. O'Keefe, and even Madame Boss.

"Hello, there, young ones, I'm Mrs. Aichi, from Japan Island, how may I help you?" asked the shopowner, Mrs. Aichi. She was very old, with gray hair, and she was short and Japanese.

"Do you sell items for Pokemon?" asked Tracey.

"Yes, we sell items made from scratch that should be able to defeat the gym leaders anywhere." said Mrs. Aichi.

"Well, first we have to deicde what to use against the gym leader here. I hear the gym leader here, Lt. Surge, uses electric type Pokemon. Using Electrode and Seadra would be suicide, and Charmeleon wouldn't do, Machop is good. What items are there for fighting Pokemon?" asked Tracey.

"Well, there is the Black Belt. When tied to your Machop's waist, it should be able to use its fighting attacks much better. If your Machop is experienced, then it may even induce evolution!" said Mrs. Aichi. She held the Black Belt in her arms.

"Yes, I'll take that." said Tracey.

"Um, I'm gonna use my Abra. Is there anything for that?" asked Motohashi.

"There is the Twisted Spoon. When held by the Pokemon, it may induce evolution if the Pokemon is experienced, and makes psychic type moves super effective." said Mrs. Aichi.

"I'll take one!" said Motohashi.

"I'd like something for my Oddish. Is there anything for grass types?" asked Mio.

"Ah, yes, my young lady. The Miracle Herb. When the herb is put in the grass of your Oddish, grass type moves are increased by a notch. It may induce evolution if your Pokemon is strong enough." said Mrs. Aichi.

"I'll take one please!" said Mio.

"Your total comes to Three Thousand Yen." (in Japan, 3000 Yen is only about 30 something dollars in America) said Mrs. Aichi.

"I'll take care of this." said Mio. She took her purse out and handed the three thousand yen note to Mrs. Aichi. Mrs. Aichi looked at the money and gave it back to Mio.

"I know that you are all pure hearted trainers. You can have the items for free." smiled Mrs. Aichi.

"Thank you very much, Mrs. Aichi!" said Mio, as she bowed. Tracey followed suit, and so did Motohashi.

"Thank you!" they said, as they left the shop, with their merchandise in seperate bags.

"Bye, good luck!" said Mrs. Aichi, as she continued with her work.

On a park bench, the three Pokemon tried the merchandise on. Machop wore the Black Belt, and his attacks were a lot sharper. Abra held the Twisted Spoon, and it could do other attacks besides Teleport. Oddish also liked the Miracle Herb, when put in its grassy head, it could do better attacks.

"Well, now that we know these work, how about we head for the gym? I'm itching to finally beat this Surge guy." said Motohashi.

"Sure!" said Mio, she ran to Motohashi, and the two strolled in front of Tracey, talking and walking.

Tracey was in the back, glaring at the two. He trusted Mio, but he for some reason didn't trust Motohashi. He was not as good as he thought. He was nice, but still, he felt that there was something about him that was ruining his Kanto experience. He felt a sudden miss of Misty and May, he wished he could see them, but then rememebered his match with Lt. Surge and headed off for the Vermillion City Gym.


























Hope you liked it! Chapter Preview 60 is tommorow, and Chapter 60 on Saturday! Enjoy!

[Dragon_Claw]

"And, by the way, how would you like to come to my bedroom? I can show you some pictures of the bombing of Rotterdam of 1940. We can also take a nap..."said Taylor, but was interrupted by a slap from Misty.


Haha, I guess he likes them both. And Misty's reply cracked me up: 'Go back to Amsterdam Dutch boy.'

And the battle with Surge is gonna be cool. I can't wait. I can just imagine what the Black Belt looks like.

Dragon_Claw ~ Heh, yeah, but he likes Misty better. I'm glad you liked that line, so did I. And the battle with Surge is gonna be good, I'm looking foward to writing that.

Well, here's Chapter Preview 60, as promised.

- Tracey battles Lt. Surge, the Vermillion City Gym Leader
Machop kept plumetting Raichu with punches, its new Comet Punch technique was very strong. Because Machop was wearing the Black Belt, whenever Machop would stop punching, and Raichu would try to attack, it would just continue punching.
"Machop, use Low Kick!" ordered Tracey. Machop stopped punching, and then started to kick Raichu.
"Raichu, Shock Wave" ordered Surge, as Raichu inhaled and fired a huge electric attack, it hit Machop, and Machop was thrown to the floor. Machop had fainted, was it all over?

- Misty gets exactly what she wanted!
"Meditite, use Focus Punch, but don't hurt it too much now!" ordered Misty. Meditite's first glew white, and it hurt the Igglybuff, but, as Misty wanted, he Igglybuff wasn't hurt that much.
"I love this cute thing!" said Misty, excited that if Meditite weakened the Igglybuff enough, it could be her newest Pokemon!

- Tracey's surprised with an old 'group of friends'.
"Now that Motohashi and Mio know who you are, what are you dimwits doing here? You should be gone!" said Tracey. He was angry that Jessie, James, and Meowth had returned to Kanto.
"Well, we wanted to cruise in The Orange Islands, so we went to Valencia." said Jessie.
"We were even sent to the big house --" began Meowth, but was stepped on by Jessie. Jessie didn't want the twerps to know of their arrest on Valencia Island.

Chapter 60, The Vermillion Gym Saga: Part 1 - Tracey should be up tommorow!

[Hanada Tattsu]

Hello, guys. First off, nobody has been reading this except for Dragon_Claw. You know, I'm not forcing you to read this, but still, I have a lot of other things to do beides write this story, I'm not forcing you to read it, but just letting you guys know.

Also, Chapter 60, unfortunately is up tommorow, as it is Labor Day and everybody is home. =D

[Hanada Tattsu]

Author's Note

As well all know, over 99% of TPM starts some kind of education tommorow, elementary school, middle school, high school, etc. I am one of those people. Since eigth grade is very important for me. I have decided to make a schedule for this story.

Every Sunday, there will be a new chapter posted. There will only be a chapter posted on Sunday.

On Tuesday, there will be a Chapter Preview for the next chapter. Three scenes from the next chapter.

On Thursday, there will be another Chapter Preview, with three other scenes from the chapter.

On Saturday, there will be yet another Chapter Preview, but since the chapters are going to be so long, it will do.

On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, nothing will be updated, unless I am on vacation or home those days. Eventually, by February or March, this will loosen up a bit.

So, tommorow, one more chapter preview from Chapter 60 will be posted. Chapter 60 includes almost every character we've seen, including Omar, Ned Wallingrum, Tsar Nicholas, Jessie and James, Giovanni, May and Misty, Tracey, Motohashi, and Mio, Team Magma, Team Rocket, and even some new characters as well as old ones!

[RJdude]

Good chapter. I'm glad that Misty and May won, and Sunkern evolved. Boss Rocket is getting kind of suspecious, I wonder what the deal with her and Team Rocket is. Same goes with Motohashi. I can't wait for chapter 60, I'm sure it'll be your best yet.

[DannyBoy]

Wow, this story keeps getting more and more intresting. I liked all 3 of thous chaoters. Sorry I haven't replied in a while. I get on and reply to some then my mom kicks me off but I am able to get on more now. I really liked the gym battle, Sunflora did really well along side Cleffa. Then with the girl and Oddish, it seems weird that a gym leader would do that. But it showed how caring Motohashi is and I liked that. Keep it up!

[Hanada Tattsu]

Hello, friends, readers, fans...

Writing this story and its prequel were a blessing to me. It was fun at first, writing and having so many people reading it. It really is a good feeling when you have readers like RJDude, Dewgong Tears, Dragon_Claw, I LoveX_Tina, pokemonrule13, Shiny Marill, SneaselReborned, Mr_Pikachu, and some others who lurk but never post.

Anyways, due to my heavy schedule, I cannot write this story anymore. On point of fact, I can't even visit the fanfic forum anymore, just being able to get on the internet and go to the forums I am modding is a prviledge with all the schoolwork and homework I am getting.

Of course, I am thankful to all of you for reading my story and in the process becoming my very good friends as well. We still go to the same message board, don't we? We're still gonna see each other! =)

I loved this story, but I think it was losing its charm, the Orange Islands season, was IMHO, much more, well, suspensful that this was.

I enjoyed writing for you all.

Until Then...

Thanks for the memories. :)

Hanada Tattsu

[RJdude]

Damn, it's a real shame that you're ending this, it really is a great story, and you're a great writter... I know how it feels to carry that burden of both school and a fanfic many people love, but I'm still carrying mine (my back hurts). Hopefully you'll continue writting during the summer. Good lcuk with school. It was an honor being one of your readers from the beginning.

[Hanada Tattsu]

Thanks RJ, you were always there for me, you're a very kind person. Thank you. :)

[Dragon_Claw]

It's a shame this great fic has come to an end, but however, I did saw it coming. At least you completed one fic, something I probaply will never succeed in.

Times where fun, and it was an original story. Goodbye

[Hanada Tattsu]

Thanks, Julian. You were always devoted to this story, like RJ and the others who read, thanks for making it a good experience. :) You were a very devoted friend.

[Hanada Tattsu]

Surprise, surprise!

I returned to TPM, and even when I was on leave, I dreadfully missed writing this. So I decided to bring it back up, and I have 2 new chapters posted today! I've decided to revamp the whole plot of this story. So.. if all the old readers could read again, and if new readers want to read.. the old Tracey's Quest is in the completed fics archive. Then read this, the sequel. Ignore the last episode preview, as I changed it. This is all I can do with the Fanfic forum at this time.

So, here's two new chapters! ENJOY! =)

Chapter 60
Encounter in Vermillion Park

Vermillion Port was bustling. Sailors and their Machoke helped them transport and move heavy cargo on the decks of ships. Various Pokemon of the water variety were swimming around in the ocean. A line had formed on the ferry, a line of people coming from the Orange Islands.
“Attention all passengers! Please be ready to present your passports so you may enter the Kingdom of Kanto. If you do not have any, we may have to deport you or arrest you”, said the customs agent, and preceded to collect the passports.
Jessie and James were horrified. Meowth finished up his pina colada but couldn’t concentrate, as they were all nervous – what would happen to them?
As the customs agent neared Team Rocket, Jessie, James, and Meowth took matters into her own hands.
“Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!”
“Surrender now or prepare to fight!”
“Meowth – that’s right”
“Its Team Rocket!” cried a handicapped passenger.
“Give us your Pokemon and save us a lot of time!” cried Jessie.
When nobody moved a muscle – Jessie got a gun ready.
“Jessie – use Beautifly’s Memory Steal ability to make these people forget about what they’ve seen and then put them to sleep!”
“Good idea”, cried Jessie, and sent out Beautifly, which came out and fluttered its beautiful wings.
“Beautifly – use Memory Steal and then Sleep Powder!” ordered Jessie.
Beautifly’s antennas glowed a black color, as did the passengers on the ship. Then, she let out a goldish powder, and soon, the passengers were all asleep.
“Now – let’s get out of here!” cried Meowth – as Jessie, James, Meowth, and Beautifly ran off the ship into Vermillion City.
They ran straight into Giovanni, who, angry, was approaching the ship.
Jessie, James, Meowth, and Beautifly stopped in their tracks.
“Hello, Your Grace.” bowed Jessie, as the others followed suit.
Giovanni ignored the greeting.
“My mother notified me from Valencia Island that you fools ended up in prison. But it doesn’t matter. There are more qualified Rocket executives to work in the Orange Islands. Besides – Tangelo gym is controlled by Abagail – she’s good enough with her newly evolved Marshtomp and Relicanth to defeat all of the Orange Islands.” growled Giovanni.
“Sir. We’re sorry…” said James, but Giovanni continued.
“A dangerous clan from Hoenn has come to Kanto. Their name is Team Magma. Team Magma is dangerous to the existence of Team Rocket. I am counting on you to expel them from Kanto and eventually from the face of the Earth. They want to turn the whole world into land and capture Groudon. They’re pretty new but eventually they might serve as a threat to our existence. If you fail me. I will have to do away with you…”
“Sir! We will succeed! But will our Pokemon be able to defeat them?” asked James.
“That’s not up for me to decide,” said Giovanni. “You just received a new Trapinch and Bagon. Once trained, they will evolve into Flygon and Salamence. Salamence has semi-legendary status. You have to be able to defeat them.”
“Yes SIR!” changed Jessie and James.
“I’ve got to get back to Route 1 and try to clean up my hideout so that we can begin our mission in Saffron City. I bid you good day.” said Giovanni, and walked the other direction.
“Can we really do what the boss wanted us to do?” asked Meowth, skeptically.
“Of course. But we need more Pokemon. We’ve got to find that twerp and steal his Pokemon,” said Jessie.
Tracey, Motohashi and Mio were walking towards the Vermillion City gym. After getting their items from Mrs. Aichi, the three trainers were positive that they could win their third Kanto gym badge. However, they were having a hard time finding the gym.
“Mio, how did you get there? Don’t you remember?” asked Tracey.
“I took a taxi,” said Mio, in a rather dismissive manner. Motohashi was silent.
Suddenly, Tracey spotted a park.
“You guys – why don’t we rest up here and give the Pokemon some free time before we move on to the gym?” asked Tracey. Motohashi and Mio readily agreed.
All the Pokemon were released. Tracey’s Seadra, Electrode, Charmeleon, and especially Machop looked stronger than ever. Seadra jumped into the fountain, while Electrode started rolling around on the grass. Charmeleon meditated, while Machop immediately punched Tracey in the stomach and start punching trees. Motohashi’s Porygon was floating up in the air, while his Abra was asleep. Mio’s Oddish was running around on the grass with Electrode, who was rolling. Meanwhile, Mio and Motohashi were sitting on the bench, while Tracey sat on a separate bench.
“So, this really hot cocktail waitress chick invited me over to her place, and as soon as I got there, she just got in my pants and.” started Motohashi, as Mio listened not so carefully. Meanwhile, Tracey was sitting on the other bench going over his past victories and losses. He suddenly remembered something and took out a blue sketchbook. He opened it, and saw torn pages – sketches of Articuno and Sheu’s huge Steelix, which he had given to Professor Ivy. He began to sketch the Pokemon playing. He remembered Ned Wallingrum, and how he was a Pokemon Watcher. He hadn’t talked with Ned since the Pokemon League. Suddenly, his thoughts were broken by a blast. He couldn’t believe his eyes. The Pokemon, Mio, and Motohashi were startled too.
“Konnichiwa, everybody!”
“Allow us to introduce ourselves.”
“Prepare for trouble”
“Make it double”
“Team Rocket – blast off at the speed of light”
“I’m James, she’s Jessie, and this is Meowth”
“Meowth – that’s right!”
Team Rocket had returned.
Tracey was highly annoyed.
“What are you dimwits doing here? Don’t you know after a year and a half that you’re just not wanted!?”
Seadra, Electrode, and especially Charmeleon and also Machop were annoyed as well.
“Tracey – who are these people?”, asked Mio alarmed.
“Yeah – they’re weird..” said Motohashi.
“We’re TEAM Rocket.. an organization which will steal your Pokemon for evil reasons!” bragged Jessie.
Upon hearing the word Team, Motohashi became tense. But when he heard Rocket, he relaxed.
“The boss has given us a mission. To wipe out Team Magma!”, said Meowth.
When Motohashi heard this, he became sweaty.
“You…you..don’t..want to..to…to.. deal with them. They’re.. dangerous.. and very violent.”, stuttered Motohashi.
Neither Mio nor Tracey saw Motohashi like this.
“WELL… that’s why we’re here to steal your Pokemon.”, said James.
“Go Beautifly and Trapinch”, cried Jessie.
“Get’m Dustox, Bagon, and Meowth” ordered James.
Trapinch bit Jessie’s hair, while Bagon proceeded to squeeze James’ hand.
“That cat battles?”, asked Tracey, but he was ignored.
“Electrode, get Beautifly, Machop, get Trapinch!”, ordered Tracey.
“Porygon, get Dustox, Abra get Bagon!”, ordered Motohashi.
“Oddish – get that cat!”, ordered Mio.
“Electrode, use Thunderbolt on that butterfly!”, cried Tracey.
“Do the same, Porygon!”, ordered Motohashi.
Electrode and Porgyon concentrated electric energy and sent the electric attack to Beautifly and Dustox. The two Pokemon were fried and fainted immediately.
“Bagon, shake Machop’s hand!” ordered James.
“Don’t do anything – Machop.”, said Tracey.
As Bagon shook Machop’s hand – Machop flinched but immediately kicked Bagon where it hurts, fainting it.
“Trapinch.. tackle that Abra!”, ordered Jessie.
“Abra, Teleport”, ordered Motohashi, and Abra dissappeared behind Trapinch.
“Machop, use Double Kick!”, ordered Tracey, and out of no where Machop kicked Trapinch, and fainted it.
“I’m still here”, said Meowth.
“Oddish, use Razor Leaf”, ordered Mio. Oddish’s leaves glowed white, and leaves came out, razor sharp, cutting Meowth.
“This hurts.”, said Meowth.
“You idiots leave!”, said Tracey.
“We’re not going anywhere.”, said Meowth, cut up because of Oddish’s powerful attack.
Jessie held up a gun. “Of course.. you will be.”
“Then we’ll transport you so you don’t have to. Abra, teleport them…teleport them… to Mt. Moon!”, said Motohashi – who knew why he was sending them there.
Abra concentrated its energy, and glowed purple. This purple glow surrounded Team Rocket, and Jessie, James, and Meowth disappeared – just as Abra returned to normal.
“Whew.. that was easy.”, exclaimed Mio, as Motohashi nodded.
“You guys – its getting late. Let’s get going to the gym. Who should battle Surge first?”, asked Mio.
“I’ll do it.”, said Tracey, not letting Motohashi say he was.
All the Pokemon were recalled, and the three trainers started their journey to find the Vermillion Gym.

Chapter 61
The Vermillion City Gym
Tracey vs Surge

Tracey, Mio, and Motohashi finally arrived to the Vermillion City gym after much searching and looking. They came to a yellow building which looked similar to a factory or a shabby place. However, this shabby building was really the gym of Vermillion City.
“Mio, is this it?”, asked Tracey.
“Yeah.”, said Mio. However, her happy mood of that day had disappeared as they got closer and closer to the gym.
“Well, aren’t you guys coming in?”, asked Motohashi, who stepped into the gym, opening the large yellow doors.
Mio resisted somewhat, but Motohashi was already inside.
“Mio – listen. There are a few differences from last time. One – your Oddish got more battle experience. Two – you have us to back you up. Don’t worry about it.”, said Tracey, and they both entered the gym.
The gym had a damp smell. There was crumbling yellow paint inside – though it still smelled like fresh paint. Motohashi was standing, dumfounded, in the gym, looking for the gym leader, Lt. Surge in the air.
Suddenly, a huge, towering figure appeared in the dark. The only think visible was his height and his blond hair.
“Who are you? What do you want?”, asked the man.
“I’m Tracey Sketchit – and these are my friends Mio and Motohashi, and we want a battle for your Thunder Badge.”, said Tracey, who was afraid every second that something might happen to them.
“Mio? I remember you – the gal with the Oddish? Hehe – that was easy fun. Why should I battle her again?”, asked Surge, looking at Mio.
“Can we have some lights please?”, interrupted Motohashi.
“Of course”, said Surge, and clapped his hands. Suddenly, bright strobe lights lighted up the gym, and Surge for the first time was fully visible. He had blond hair, and was wearing an old Kantan military uniform that was used during the American occupation of the country from 1945 to 1952.
“You will battle her and all of us again because it is against the Kantan League rules to refuse.”, said Tracey, as Mio seemed quite happy to see him standing up for her.
“Very well.”, said Surge. “By the way – my name is Lt. Surge, and this gym trains electric types – if you’re little friend hadn’t reminded you yet.” Said Surge, talking about Mio.
“Well, who will I battle first? The Trainer, The Weakling, or the Pervert?” said Surge, talking about Tracey, Mio, and Motothashi respectively.
“I’m going first.”, said Tracey.
Tracey and Surge stood on opposite sides of the arena, as Motohashi and Mio spectated.
“The battle will be a 1 on 1 battle. No time limit. GO RAICHU!”, screamed Surge, throwing out a Heavy Ball onto the arena. Raichu came out – with yellow cheeks, golden skin, and electric waves almost coming out immediately.
Tracey thought. Raichu was the evolved form of Pikachu, Misty had a Pikachu. If he was traveling with May and Misty he could ask her for pointers on how to defeat a Raichu. He knew off the bat that using Seadra would be suicide. Electrode wouldn’t be super-effective either. Charmeleon wouldn’t be a bad idea, but he didn’t know of a strategy with which to use Charmeleon. Machop still seemed like the only liable choice. Plus, Machop did have the black belt.
“GO MACHOP!” said Tracey, and threw the ball containing Machop, with the black belt tied to him. Machop came out, punching Tracey in the stomach. Tracey fell down, and Surge laughed. “Is that my opponent!?”, he said between laughs.
“Machop, start off with your Dizzy Punch!”, said Tracey. Machop’s first glowed a brown color, and he approached at a quick speed towards his goal – Raichu.
“Hehe – watch this. Raichu use your Thunderbolt!”, said Surge, as Raichu glowed yellow with his entire body and fried Machop.
“Machop – use Focus Energy!”, said Tracey. Machop withstood the energy attack and charged himself.
“Raichu, use Thunderpunch!”, said Surge, as Raichu sprinted towards Machop and punched him in the jaw. Machop was fried, and also took in a lot of damage.
“Machop – use your Double Kick! Kick it in the stomach!”, said Tracey – as Machop, with a smile on its face, ran up towards Raichu, kicking it in the stomach. As the second leg was about to kick, however, Surge ordered a Thunderbolt. Machop was fried again.
“I don’t think its going to make it.”, said Mio. “If Tracey loses, so will I!”, said she.
Motohashi was silent – obviously thinking about other things.
Suddenly, Machop’s first glowed white. It ran up to Raichu, and started punching it. Machop had learned Comet Punch!
“What a cool move, Tracey!”, exclaimed Mio.
Tracey was still in daze as his Machop easily was punching Raichu.
“Raichu, use Thunderbolt!”, cried Surge, but due to Comet Punch, Raichu still could not move or do anything. It was constantly being pummeled by punches. Machop was more energetic than ever.
“That’s it. RAICHU! THUNDER!”, ordered Surge, his pale face now red. Raichu’s cheeks glew a bright red and red thunder encircled Machop, frying it to a crisp. Machop collapsed.
Tracey closed his eyes. Was this the end?
Meanwhile, May and Misty were resting on Route 5. May was sitting on a roadside bench, her Pokemon out. May’s new Cleffa was very happy with its new master, and was running around in the grass. Combusken, as usual, was by May, guarding her. Marill was playing in the small stream, while Flaffy was laying in the sun. Makuhita was also meditating. It had grown. Misty too was sitting on the same bench and her Pokemon were resting as well. Poliwhirl was playing with May’s Marill in the stream, more social now. Sunkern was resting in the grass, sitting by May’s Flaffy. Pikachu too was running around with May’s new Cleffa. Meditite was meditating with May’s Makuita.
Suddenly, Misty saw something behind a tree. As it came in full view, she blushed.
“May! An Igglybuff!”, said Misty, getting up and looking at the Pokemon more closely. It was an Igglybuff! It was a small, a little bigger than Cleffa, but not much. It had a smile on its face, and came near Misty.
“So? Those things are stupid. I prefer my Cleffa.”, said May, huggling her new Cleffa.
“I’ve gotta catch it!”, said Misty. But who could she use? Poliwhirl and Pikachu were too strong for a baby like that.. she saw that she could only use Sunkern.
“Sunkern – go!”, said Misty, sending out her Sunkern. It was happy to be used in battle.
“Sunkern, use your Vine Whip attack!”, ordered Misty, as Sunkern’s vines entangeled Igglybuff, and then let it go, throwing it in the water. The poor Igglybuff was wet.
“Great Sunkern. Now its Poliwhirl’s turn! Wet it even more – Poliwhirl, use Water Gun!”, ordered Misty. Poliwhirl’s whirls glowed blue, and sprayed Igglybuff with more water. It was now very wet. “Meditite – use Psychic Wave”, ordered Misty, as Meditite glowed purple, and Igglybuff took loads of damage.
“Finish it up Pikachu! Use Thundershock!”, ordered Misty, and Igglybuff was fried from Pikachu’s thunder attack.
“Go – Love Ball!”, said Misty, and threw a pink ball onto Igglybuff. It was caught! Misty now had five Pokemon – her fifth being Igglybuff!
“YES!!! I FINALLY GOT AN IGGLYBUFF!”, said Misty, and sent the newly healed Pokemon out. Igglybuff was very cute, and immediately hugged Misty. She also seemed to be very friendly with all the Pokemon and especially with May’s Cleffa.
“I’m sure these new Pokemon will be very helpful at the upcoming gym”, said May.
Meanwhile, at the Vermillion gym, Machop had collapsed. It didn’t seem able to battle anymore.
“Well, kid, just surrender. Your poor Machop’s fried to the crisp.”, said Surge.
When Machop heard this – it stood up, using its last energy. It glowed white, completely. In a matter of seconds, it doubled in size, and in width as well. As it stopped glowing – it was evident: Machop had evolved into Machoke! Machoke was much more muscular than Machop. It had a larger body, and was completely healed.
“Machoke! You evolved for me!”, said Tracey, happily. Machoke looked at Tracey, winked, smiled, and then turned around to finish the job. Surge and Raichu both looked terrified.
“Let’s finish this! MACHOKE! Use Seismic Toss!”, said Tracey, as Machoke sprinted to Raichu, took it up in the air, and before it could make an attack, it had crashed into the arena wall, fainting.
“Return you weakling.” Said Surge, recalling Raichu.
“WE did it Machoke! WE BEAT HIM!”, said Tracey, as he hugged Machoke and danced around.
“Congratulations”, said Mio and Motohashi, as Tracey took off the black belt and put it in his bag. Machoke looked proud.
“Here’s the badge – now get out.”, said Surge, as he threw the Thunder Badge in Tracey’s badge case. Tracey didn’t care, he recalled Machoke and they left to the hotel.
At the hotel – Charmeleon, Electrode, and Seadra seemed to get along with Machoke quite well. Meanwhile, Mio talked with Oddish about their upcoming match, while Motohashi was in his bedroom with the door locked. Because Mio and Tracey both heard moans coming from the television there – they figured he was watching a porno movie and thus decided to leave him alone.
Machoke was very happy now, as was Tracey. He had three badges – but he still had a lot to do in Kanto.

Well, Chapter 62 should be up later.

Great to see your back in Fanictio, Hanada. However, I must say that both Chapters 60 and 61 were beneath my expectations. Remember, it's always best to post one Chapter at a time - if you post Ch60, you still have 61 in reserves and can then relax a little.

Chapter 60 really had very little to it. TR got a new mission, Tracey battled TR.....it really wasn't all that much. Maybe increase the length, and improve the description of the attacks. Make it so much more bright and colourful with vivid words and clever use of language.

I'll stick around to make sure you're doing ok, and once again, welcome home :)


EDIT: If you want to make this more suspenseful, then take action! I'll PM you with more information.

[Hanada Tattsu]

Brit Chris - Thanks for the warm welcome! =) Well, as I said in my PM - I kinda forgot that I'm writing for readers - so I have to look back at my old writing styles (which I have done) and actually go back to my old writing style. Chap 62 hopefully will be better... I am sure it will be. Here goes

~~~

Chapter 62 - Team Rocket and Team Magma
Note: Contains some limish adult situations.. PG/PG-13 ish rating...

It was a crisp afternoon at Mt. Moon. Inside the dark anals of the cave, Zubat flew - and there were also quite a few Paras and Cleffa hopping and walking inside the cave - adding some civilization to the deserted cave. The cave, however, was far from deserted. It was Team Magma's principal hideout in the Kanto region. Deep inside the cave - Magma grunts, executives, and also the Magma Boss, Maxie, hid from the Kantan police, coordinating activites in all over Borneo (Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn).
That morning, Maxie was communicating via video phone with members of Magma in Hoenn, the principal area where the group was operating.
"Boss Maxie, Team Aqua's positions have been moving more and more closer to our hideout. We've defeated many of their forces all across Hoenn - but it seems they always seem to revive themselves." said the grunt.
Maxie smoked a cigar, and leaned back in his chair.
"I've told many grunts this, and I shall tell you as well. Defeat them. Don't pay attention to what you damage and where. Defeating them in battles is not the only way that you can defeat the Aqua clan. Bomb their headquarters, assasinate them. Think of the world as your soccer field, and you are the soccer ball.", said Maxie, between puffs.
"Yes, Boss Maxie.", said the grunt, saluting him.
"You are dismissed.", said Maxie, and turned off the video phone.
Outside, Jackson and Allysa, the two Magma executives were standing in front of Maxie's office, guarding it.
Allyssa looked around, making sure that there was nobody standing close. She then got closer to Jackson.
"You know.. there is talk going on that Kodama Motohashi is planning to make a coup de tat against Maxie's conservative administration. He has more and more support.", whispeed Alyssa.
"He can do it and he will. Apparently he's trying to recruit people into Magma. We heard he's travelling along with some kid and a hot chick and either trying to recruit the guy and bang the girl or recruit them both and bang the girl.", said Jackson, sneaking a quick look back to make sure their conversation wasn't heard.
"I think the latter would be more accurate.", said Allysa.
Suddenly, they were both startled by a sound, and then a thud, which startled a few Geodude and Zubat.
Jackson and Allyssa took their guns and ran over to the scene. They saw Jessie, James, and Meowth on the floor scratching their heads.
"Where are we?" asked James, looking around.
"Beats me", exclaimed Meowth, rubbing a wound on his arm which had scraped his skin.
"This looks like Mt. Moon. That twerp's Abra must have teleported us here. Are there any people here?", said Jessie, screaming the last sentence.
"Who are you people?" asked Jackson, with a gun in his hand moving closer to the group.
Allyssa stayed back to make sure nobody entered Maxie's office.
"Who may I ask are you?" said James, looking just as suspiciously at Jackson.
"I asked first. Now shut up and stand up, all three of you, before I shoot!", said Jackson.
Jessie, James, and Meowth stood up, quietly.
"Well, go ahead!" said Alyssa.
Jessie spoke.
"We are Team Rocket.. a notorious group devoted to using Pokemon for the good of evil."
"Our newest mission is to get these wierd Magma people out of Kanto.", said Meowth, but both Jessie and James kicked him.
Jackson and Allyssa looked at each other and then Team Rocket. Jackson snapped his fingers, and they both anxiously awaited for something to occur. Meanwhile, Team Rocket was anxiously awaiting what was to happen to them.
~-~
It was night time in Vermillion City. Most of the shops were closed, and most everyone was asleep. Pidgeot sheltered their baby Pidgey in their nests, and no water Pokemon made a noise in the ocean. In the Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy was sleeping, as were all the Pokemon she was nursing. There was a light on on the top story however.
Motohashi was watching another porno movie in his room - however he had left his backpack on the couch in the main room.
"Oh yeah - Tracey this is hot. Wanna come watch with me?" asked Motohashi, from the other side of the locked room.
Tracey, who was with Mio in the main room, silently laughed along with Mio, and exclaimed, "I don't watch porn."
"Your loss.", said Motohashi, and sounds of pleasure came out from behind the locked door.
"Ah! I'm dying of thirst!", said Mio, and got off of the couch. However, as she got up, she accidentally touched the backpack, which was on the edge of the armchair, knocking it down. Because it was open, the contents fell out.
"Oh my Gosh! Look what I've done." said Mio, embaressed.
"Don't worry about it... I'll help ya pick it up." said Tracey. In his mind he was thinking that he would hopefully find something that would link Motohashi to Team Magma. After the incident with Team Rocket the other day in Vermillion Park, Tracey knew for sure that Motohashi had something to do with Team Rocket.
Earlier that day, after Tracey's victorious gym battle, Motohashi had left Tracey and Mio to go get some adult magazines, so Mio and Tracey had went to have seafood dinner. Tracey had told Mio his fears that Motohashi was involved in Team Magma, or some sort of underground organiaztion.
As Mio and Tracey were picking up some of the items, Mio began to unconciously list them.
"New and old Adult Magazines with stains, Adult videos and DVDs with stains, expired Soda pop, expired tuna fish, Kanto Badge Case, Team Magma Identification, A book "A History of the Kantan State", Pesticide..."
"Mio - wait!", said Tracey.
"What is it?"
"Talk quietly, Mio. What was that? Team Magma Identifcation?"
Mio looked through some of the items, and saw the Team Magma identification card. She looked at it. Written on the card was Motohashi Kodama, Team Magma Undercover Recruiter.
"Motohashi's in Team Magma?" said Mio, not believing her eyes.
"He must be. I can't see another alternative. Look at the other stuff."
"I don't think porno with stains on it is a link to Team Magma." said Mio, skeptically.
"The book. I've talked to Motohashi. He has absoleutly no knowledge of the history of the Kantan state. He has a few bookmarks in it." observed Tracey, as he took the almost brand new book.
The bookmarks marked two pages - one with the heading "Underground groups in Kanto" and the other on "Underground Police Activity".
At the latter, Mio stopped in her tracks.
"This guy is a member of Team Magma. He has to be.", said Tracey.
Mio was growing more and more uptight every second, until she finally breathed a deep breath and began to talk.
"Tracey, I've been keeping something from you. I'm not an innocent trainer. My father is the chair of all police activities in the Kanto region. Of course - he's in charge of the confidential activities. I'm taking after him once he dies. I know Team Magma's hideout is in Mt. Moon. But the police doesn't want to raid it now - we want more evidence."
Tracey wasn't suspicious of this, but as he heard the last sentence, he grew more and more angry.
"Evidence? We know they exist! We know where they are! Let's nab them now!"
"Its better to get more proof and even more information so that we can just get in, get them, and get them in jail." said Mio.
Suddenly, they heard a sound.
Motohashi, from inside, the room, moaned for about three minutes, threw his stained tissue in the trash, turned off the tv, dressed, and came out. This process took about two minutes.
"Quick - he's coming!" said Mio, and Tracey and Mio quickly threw Motohashi's stuff back into his bag. They then sat on the couch and started talking about Surge's battle.
"That was a great show on TV.. Vermillion porno is cool." laughed Motohashi.
Tracey and Mio were silent, but Mio started off the conversation.
"Uh.. I'm nervous about the match tommorow. Is Surge really that easy?"
"Yeah. Uh.. Mio, why don't we go buy.. some sushi from the 24 hour sushi place?", said Tracey.
"Yeah, bye. Motohashi." said Mio.
Motohashi ignored this quick turn of events and saw it as normal, and went back into the room to take a shower.
"Mio, sorry if that was really quick - but I don't think he noticed. What should we do now?" asked Tracey, as they walked down to the lobby of the Pokemon center.
"I don't know - but whatever you do - don't make enemies with him. And its even harder because we've got to do this by tommorow. You have your badge and I don't which makes it easy for us. We can do it. We can ditch him." said Mio.
"Should we travel together?"
"No. Then he'll get even more suspicious or think we know."
Mio and Tracey returned to the hotel room, and silently packed their bags as Motohashi showered.
"Why are you guys back so early?" asked Motohashi, as he got out of the shower.
"Uh... we forgot that there is no 24 hour sushi here.", laughed Mio, as Tracey followed suit.
~-~
Morning fell on Vermillion City. The sun shone, and the Pidgey woke up. Shellder and Horsea began to swim in the ocean again. But one of the toughest moments was coming up for Tracey, as was for Mio.
In the morning, after breakfast, Tracey, Motohashi, and Mio got dressed and were prepared to go to the Vermillion gym so Motohashi could win his badge.
"Well, guys, come on, let's get out of here", said Motohashi, with his hand on the door knob.
"Motohashi, I think we should split up." said Mio.
"What? Why?" asked Motohashi, with a frown on his face.
"Motohashi, I can't travel in a group. I've noticed my Pokemon are weaker and I need to be alone to travel at my own pace." said Tracey.
"And I don't want to make you guys wait too long. I need to train more." said Mio.
"So you guys are ditching me?" asked Motohashi, shutting the door.
"No, we're not Motohashi. Maybe after a while we can meet up again." said Tracey.
"Well, you're not going anywhere." said Motohashi, now getting redder and redder by the minute.
Tracey looked nervously at Mio, but she closed her eyes, giving him a sign of reassurance.
"We gave you or reasons, now please let us go. We'll swatch numbers and we can meet up later." smiled Mio.
"**** YOU! YOU BASTARDS ARENT GOING ANYWHERE!!" cussed Motohashi.
"Why not?" asked Mio, calmly.
At this, Motohashi took out his backpack, took out his badges, and threw them into the still burning fireplace.
"Motohashi, what the hell are you doing?" asked Tracey. "Those are your badges!"
"I don't care. I was never a trainer and I will never be a trainer. I am a member of Team Magma.", said Motohashi, holding up his ID card.
"Act surprised." whispered Mio.
Tracey and Mio both gasped, but it wasn't real because they had already exposed Motohashi.
"Here goes." said Mio. "I am the daughter and heir apparent of the underground police chief of the Kantan Empire. We know where your hideout is and we will soon arrest all of you."
"You ****ing lier.. you decieved us all.", said Motohashi.
"I think thats our line." said Tracey.
Mio suddenly took her phone out and began to call 911. Oddish was in her Pokeball.
"Hold that thought.." laughed Motohashi, took out a gun from his pocket, and shot Mio twice in the heart and once in the head. She screamed, dropped her phone, and collapsed.
Tracey screamed. Before Motohashi could shoot him - he took out Seadra's Pokeball.
"Seadra - use your.. Dragon Move attack!" cried Tracey.
Seadra quickly glowed blue, as did Motohashi. Motohashi started spinning and was teleported to the Vermillion City gym, or outside of it. Now that Motohashi was gone, and Tracey saw Mio, bleeding.
"Tracey.... you did good.... thanks for your kind heart, and your time... I really enjoyed meeting you...I enjoyed life...Burn my badges..I planned to burn them anyways...and take Oddish...please take Oddish...she was my only Pokemon...just take care of her for me...and be careful of Motohashi..and bad people...keep it up....good luck...and never yield to evil...thank you...thank you for everything..."
And with that last word, she died.
"MIO! MIO! Wake up, please Mio!"
But she didn't wake up.
She never would.

Hey guys - I'm putting this on hiatus for about a month or two.. until I finish writing a shorter fic.

[Hanada Tattsu]

Hello, readers. I am actually going to write the two fanfics at the same time. The Last Trainer, my other fanfic, is a part time fanfic, so I will write this more often. Thus, this is going off hiatus. I know my last few chapters sucked, but I am bringing back the glory of Tracey's Quest...

Please post comments and tell me if I have improved.

Tracey's Quest
Chapter 63: Moving On
By HanadaTattsu

Vermillion City was shining in the sunlight. As many of the city's residents sat in the park, walked around, and played with their Pokemon, forgetting about life and just living it to the fullest. The Pokemon Center, too, was in a festive mood. On the top floor, however, life had ceased for Tracey Sketchit. His two travelling buddies - Mio and Motohashi had deserted him. Motohashi turned out to be a member of Team Magma, and Mio was dead. Seadra had teleported Motohashi out of Vermillion - but Tracey knew he would be back soon. As he held Mio's bleeding corpse in his hands - he looked at Seadra, who was terrified. His small black eyes, though frowning and tough, had tears in their eyes. Seadra was shaking. At that moment, he remembered that this Seadra was the same Pokemon that had sat on the deck of the Valencia, his ship, in Tracey's native Orange Islands. It was his first Pokemon. He remembered his adventures in the Orange Islands - but ever since he had come to Kanto, he had seen nothing but death and murder - from Mr, O'Keefe's two Linoone, to the Pewter Museum, and cluminating with Mio.

Suddenly, Tracey looked back down at Mio's corpse. He remembered her dying wish. He first took her badges - her hard earned Boulder and Cascade badges, and threw them into the buring fire - where Motohashi's had burned minutes before - when Mio was stll alive...

Tracey then went back to Seadra's side, who was still staring at Mio's corpse. Tracey sat back again, silent. He knew that Mio's dying wish was for him to take Oddish. He saw the red and white Pokeball at Mio's waist. He took it out from her belt, leaving the belt on her corpse. He maximized it, and threw it out. Oddish came out, happy, smiling, expecting to see Mio, but instead saw Tracey's dull face. Confused, she turned around, and saw Mio dead. Oddish screamed. At this, Seadra came near Oddish, comforting it.

"Seadra, tell Oddish."

Seadra looked at Tracey, and nodded. Then, after a dialogue of two minutes, Oddish broke into tears. Seadra comforted it. Suddenly, Electrode, Charmeleon, and Machoke came out of their Pokeballs when they heard Oddish crying. Electrode motionless, looked at Mio's corpse. Charmeleon immediatly went by his master, looking at Tracey's pale face. Machoke, newly evolved, stood there, not knowing whether to comfort Tracey or to comfort Oddish.

After Seadra had finished, he nodded at Tracey. Tracey then picked the tiny Oddish up, who still had tears in her eyes.

"Oddish.. I'm your new trainer. But never forget Mio.. never. Whenever you battle, remember everything that Mio taught you. Cherish her memory. I will make sure that you never forget her name. She was a martyr.. Oddish.. she died for Kanto.. she died for Pokemon.. said Tracey.

Suddenly, he bcame concious for the first time of his surroundings.

"Seadra, Electrode, Charmeleon, Machoke - comfort our new team member. I have to contact Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy immediatly.

Tracey ran to the telephone in the living room, where they had been sitting and talking a few days before. He immediatly called Officer Jenny, telling her whatever had occured. Tracey gave Officer Jenny Motohashi's information, including where he probably was. Jenny, horrified, told Tracey that she would notify Nurse Joy.

A few minutes later, Nurse Joy came up to the room. Horrified, she and her Chansey covered Mio's corpse and took it downstairs. Tracey told Joy of what occured - and how both Motohashi and Mio had resigned from the Pokemon League Challenge. Mio was dead, and Motohashi wasn't an official league challenger anymore. Their data was both deleted, and Oddish was transfered officially to being Tracey's Pokemon. As for Motohashi, he got to keep Abra and Porygon, but inevitably was put on a wanted list.

One Week Later

The burial for Mio was arranged to be held in Vermillion's Imperial Villa, the former residence of the emperor before the decleration of the constitutional monarchy in 1868. Tracey arrived there as the proceedings just began. Seadra, Electrode, Charmeleon, and Machoke stayed by Tracey's side, however, Tracey let Oddish go closer to the grave so that she could see her trainer's final burial.

Suddenly, Tracey saw Oddish stand next to an elderly man and woman who were at the front of the row, nearest to the grave. Ignoring this at first, Tracey couldn't help but sob as he saw Mio's coffin go into its final resting place next to so many of Kanto's divine emperors and statesmen, as well as martyrs, who had died either in the religious wars, the civil wars, World War II, or during the American occupation which transformed Kanto into a modern state.

At the end of the proceedings, Oddish, still crying, walked slowly up to Tracey, but behind him came the elderly couple which Oddish had stood next to during the final moments of the funeral.

"Are you Tracey Sketchit?" asked the man, as his elderly wife, wearing a black veil, stood next to him.

"Yes, sir. And who may I ask are you?" asked Tracey, wiping his face.

"I am Mio's father, James. This is her mother, Maria.", said the man.

"Pleasure to meet you." said Maria, in a quite delicate and innocent voice. Her eyes were bloodshot and red.

"Nice to meet you as well. How did you happen to know my name?" asked Tracey, still quite monotone.

"Mio called back home many times while she was with you. She gave me undercover information, after all, I am the chief of police in all of the Kantan Kingdom. She told me a few things." said James, as Maria looked around.

"Wh-", began Tracey, but before he could finish, James finished his comment.

"She loved you Tracey."

Tracey didn't answer, but looked straight at James' face. Oddish too, listened..

"She loved you. From the first minute she saw you while crying in front of the gym with her Oddish... she knew you were a kind and caring person.. the person she wanted to marry. She wanted you to realize that.." he began, but couldn't hesitate to finish. His wife did it for him, as he struggled to hold back his tears.

"But she didn't live long enough to."

Tracey looked around, not believing what he heard.

"She was always with Motohashi.. I.. I never knew she.. had feelings for me.." stuttered Tracey.

"She did." said James, wiping his eyes. "She did." Maria began crying too, but James was now serious.

"She also told us something else." began Maria, struggling to hold back her own tears. "She told us that if something were to occur to her, that we, or any of her friends, shouldn't cry about her. Mio lived life to the fullest. She was always happy. She said that her death would not be avenged by murder, arrest, or deception - but rather by continuing to live our own lives to the fullest."

Tracey was now red, struggling not to cry. Oddish did the same.

James spoke next. "That is why I have decided not to press charges against the murderer."

Tracey was astonished. "Sir - Motohashi was a member of Team Magma! He will continue to kill.." but James interrupted him.

"Inevitably.. if the murderer is a member of the Magma-dan, then when we arrest them all, he'll be killed for his being with the Magma team, but I will not press charges for the death of my daughter.. mainly because she never wanted her death to be avenged. We will avenge it by living." said James, faking a smile, though his speech was chocked up.

"That is why we don't want you or your Pokemon, including your new Oddish, to ever think about qutting your quest because of this. How many badges do you have?" asked Maria.

"I currently have three." said Tracey, still staring at Mio's grave.

"You're almost half done with this journey then. Continue!" said Maria.

With this, Oddish looked up at her master, smiling, and tears in her eyes.

"We'll win the Kanto league, Oddish, for Mio's sake!" said Tracey, also with tears in his eyes.

"Looks like our job is completed." said Maria, as James nodded.

"Also, Tracey, your Pokemon are highly trained, but they still need experience. My wife and I are invited to a function of Kantan elites in the S.S Anne in Vermillion Harbor tommorow evening. Would you like to come?" asked James.

"We have an extra ticket here." said Maria, holding up three tickets. Mio was to come, but.. since she's not with us now.. you can come with us instead." said Maria.

Tracey was not sure, but Maria continued to convince him.

"I'll come, thank you for your invitation." said Tracey, smiling.

"See you there!" said James, happilly, as Maria gave Tracey the pink ticket. They bid farewell, and Tracey returned to the Pokemon Center. .He returned to the room where he, Motohashi, and Mio, had been staying a few days before.

All the Pokemon were out of their Pokeballs. Seadra was outside on the balcony, chatting with Electrode, its old buddy. Meanwhile, Oddish had made a new friendship with Seadra and Electrode, chatting outside. Charmeleon and Machoke too were discussing some fitness moves in the bedroom. Tracey sat and stared at the Vermillion Harbor. It was night time, and the sailors were cleaning up. Just as his head began to think of Mio again - he suddenly shifted to Motohashi. Who was he? Yes, a Team Magma member with a Porygon and an Abra.. but wasn't his father a senator? If so - what was he doing with Team Magma? He then remembered that Motohashi's father was assasinated and his mother lived in Saffron City. Was he lying? He suddenly remembered that Motohashi had been teleported to Mt. Moon by Seadra. It was a day's walk from there to Vermillion. Motohashi knew where Tracey was staying - would he return?

It was about nine o'clock. Suddenly, Tracey heard a loud knock on the door. It came like a shovel had hid his head. Seadra, Electrode, Charmeleon, Oddish, and Machoke didn't pay attention, but to Tracey it came as a shock. As it came louder, all the Pokemon turned around. Tracey almost fainted. Was it Motohashi?

The knocks came harder and harder, louder and louder...

Tracey's Quest
Chapter 64: Rematch of the New Pokemon
By HanadaTattsu

The knocks continued. Tracey panicked. He turned around and looked at the Pokemon. They had heard the knocks too. Seadra and Electrode cuddled together - while Machoke and Charmeleon were ready to come to the aid of their master. Oddish just stood there in the middle - not knowing whether to be scared or to stand up for her trainer.

Tracey looked back at the door. The knob was turning - but as the door was locked - it was to no avail.

"Oddish - come here." motioned Tracey, with his right hand. Oddish, slowly, walked towards Tracey. She wasn't sure whether to scare or to be scared.

"Oddish - if Motohashi is outside that door - immediatly use Sleep Powder and put him to sleep, okay?" said Tracey, as Oddish surely nodded, getting her leaves aimed towards the door.

Tracey's right hand was on the knob, as Oddish watched closely. The other Pokemon too watched on. Tracey slowly opened the door, and he saw May and Misty standing outside.

"Tracey! Why didn't you open the door for us!!!??" asked May, giving Tracey a hug and barging in.

"Hi May." said Tracey, who, though he didn't show it, was quite happy he had his real and true friends he knew visiting him. He saw Misty waiting outside.

"May I come in?" she asked, her hands behind her back.

"Sure! Sorry, how are you Misty?" asked Tracey, blusing to an extent. Oddish was relieved to see nice people.

The three friends sat down on the couch. May and Misty let out their Pokemon.

Poliwhirl and Marill immediatly got out and started talking with Seadra and Electrode. Misty's Sunflora, Pikachu and Meditite were talking to May's Flaffy and Makuhita, and Combusken sat next to May, always ready to guard her trainer, though he was chatting on and off with Charmeleon and Machoke. As for Cleffa and Igglybuff - they had made freinds with Oddish.

"So, how many badges do you have, Trace?" asked May. "We have two."

"I got my third badge." said Tracey, looking down.

While May didn't notice anything, Misty noticed that something was the matter. "Tracey, are you all right?" she asked, looking at Tracey's deep-set eyes with worriness. The wind coming in from the open patio waved her red hair.

Tracey broke into tears, and then proceeded to tell May and Misty about how he had found two new traveling buddies, and how Motohashi was a member of Team Magma. He also said how Mio was the son of an undercover police chief and how Motohashi had murdered her and had been teleported out by Seadra. He said he feared his life, and he inherited Mio's Oddish.

"Tracey.. that's horrible.." said May.

Misty looked down, and then looked up with a smile.

"Tracey! Tell you what - May and I bought tickets to the S.S Anne, a cruise ship with lots of trainers. I'll give you my ticket. Go and have fun and relax!" said Misty.

"You're going to the S.S Anne too!?" asked Tracey, who's crying eyes turned to happy ones.

"Yea.." said May.

"Mio's father gave me a ticket too at her funeral service. We can all go together!" said Tracey.

Both May and Misty were very excited. After conversing and telling about recent updates in their lives, Misty looked at Tracey's Oddish.

"Tracey, I love that Oddish. I think its highly trained - do you want to battle?" asked Misty.

"Sure! I haven't really used Oddish before." said Tracey.

"Cool! Let's go to the arena in the center of town!" said Misty, as the three trainers recalled their Pokemon and headed out of the Pokemon Center into Vermillion City. The S.S Anne trip began tommorow, and they could spend the evening having fun.

-~-

Motohashi was walking uphill near Mt. Moon.

"That f***** bastard!!" cursed Motohashi, as he walked uphill on the road where he could use the secret entrace to get into Mt. Moon. He threw his backpack on the ground and took out his Team Magma admission paper and I.D. card. Putting it in his pocket, he entered the secret entrance of Mt. Moon, and saw two Magma grunts in front of the Hideout.

"HALT! You are prisoners of the Magma Dan!" cried one of the grunts.

"I am a Magma Executive." said Motohashi, holding up his ID card and his admission paper.

"Go through, sir." said the grunt.

Motohashi entered the labrynith. It was carved into a cave, and there were several cells - one of these had housed May, Misty, and Prof. Oak a few weeks ago. The same one now housed Jessie, James, and Meowth. Jackson and Allysa were standing in front of it.

"I want a Pina Colada!" cried Meowth.

"Shut up." said Jackson, aiming a gun inside the cage.

Suddenly, both Jackson and Allysa turned around and saw Motohashi standing there.

"KODAMA!"

"What are you doing here? You deserted us to become a trainer." angirly said Jackson.

"I never threw away my card." said Motohashi, holding it up.

Allyssa smirked at him. "What do you want?"

"I want to return to my position in Saffron City. An undercover Magma Executive. I want to see Boss Maxie."

Allyssa looked at Jackson for confirmation. "Fine, take him in." said Jackson. Allyssa then motioned for Motohashi to follow her, as they climbed a rock stairway which led to a door.

"His Excellency's office is here. You may enter." said Allysa.

Suddenly, Motohashi's angry face turned to a calm one, and he ran down the path he just came after Allyssa.

"Who are those people in the cage?"

"Team Rocket spies."

Motohashi ran up to Jessie, James, and Meowth, who were in the cage.

"I remember you.. you bothered Tracey a lot, didn't you..?"

"One of the twerps!" cried Meowth.

"He's a member of Team Magma? We should of known!" angirly said Jessie.

"I'm not with him anymore. Mio's dead and her Oddish belongs to Tracey now. I'm going to Saffron to become a Magma executive, and Tracey's alone. Too bad you'll never get to get his Pokemon now that you're our prisoner." smirked Motohashi and went back up the staircase.

"What an ignorant twerp." said James.

"I want PINA COLADA!!"

Motohashi went up the staircase. Suddenly, Jessie called him.

"Shut up!!" said Jackson, but Motohashi told him to leave them alone and came back to the cell.

"What ya want?"

"We want a battle with you. If we lose, you get to shoot us here and we will give you top secret info about Team Rocket before our death. If we win, you will let us go. Fair?" said Jessie. James and Meowth went hysterical.

"Are you out of our mind!!?? How can we defeat him?" screamed James.

"I have a plan."

"What plan!? How can a Dustox, Beautifly, Bagon, Trapinch, and Meowth defeat his highly trained Pokemon!???" yelled James.

"Quite easily."

~-~

Vermillion Square was quiet. Misty and Tracey stood in front of each other, a Pokeball in their hands. May stood on the side, holding her Cleffa in her arms.

"This is a rematch - for the time you defeated me in the Orange League!" said Misty. "Go get'm, Igglybuff!" cried Misty. She threw a Pokeball out and an Igglybuff came out, crying her name.

"I will win this one too! Go get'm, Oddish!" cried Tracey, as he sent out a Pokeball. Oddish came out, crying its name.

"I'll start this off. Igglybuff, use Double Slap!" ordered Misty, as Igglybuff's tiny body ran up to Oddish.

"Oddish, Razor Leaf her in the face!" cried Tracey. Oddish's razor sharp green leaves came out of its onion head and pierced Igglybuff. It fell back, but was up again.

"Keep on trying to slap it!" Quickly!" cried Misty, and before Tracey could order an attack, Igglybuff had already slapped Oddish twice across the cheek.

"All right! Don't worry, Oddish, you're doing fine! Absorb its energy!" ordered Tracey. Oddish glowed a white color, suddenly. Igglybuff did too. After a period of a second, they returned to their normal state, and Oddish looked relieved. Igglybuff looked like it had been drained completely.

"Igglybuff - use Assist!" cried Misty. Suddenly, Igglybuff shot a powerful purple attack from its eyes.

"Psybeam!" cried May. "Igglybuff got that from Misty's Poliwhirl."

The Psybeam hit Oddish, throwing her to the ground.

"While its still down - use your Double Kick!" cried Misty, almost already victorious.

"Oddish use Headbutt!" cried Tracey, but Oddish was too weak. The Double Kick crashed into Oddish's head, and the Pokemon was on the ground.

Suddenly, Oddish looked up to the sky. He seemed like he saw something. He nodded a few times, and then cried his name as if he was talking to someone. He then nodded a final time and got up.

Misty and Igglybuff were surprised, as was May, Cleffa, and Tracey.

Suddenly, Oddish sent out a purple perfume from its nose. None of the humans could smell anything, but Cleffa and Igglybuff went crazy. Igglybuff smelled the perfume, and was dazed. Cleffa from her seat also got happy.

"Oddish learned Sweet Scent!" cried an excited Tracey.

Oddish frowned in anger.

"Okay - now that she's dazed - use your Headbutt!" cried Tracey.

Oddish ran towards the Igglybuff and pushed into her - fainting the Pokemon.

"Igglybuff!!" cried Misty. "You did good, return." as she called the fainted Pokemon back into the Pokeball.

"Oddish!! We did it" cried Tracey, as he hugged Oddish. Oddish looked up, and then back Tracey, smiling.

"Great job you guys." said May, as did Cleffa, to Oddish, at least.

"Good job, Tracey." said Misty as she winked.

"You too." said Tracey.

As Oddish and Cleffa were recalled and the three friends returned to the Pokemon Center, night had already fallen. A large ship docked in Vermillion Harbor. It was called the S.S Anne.

To Be Continued...

NOTE: Chapter 2 of my other fic should be up tommorow. Chapter 65 of this may be up on Monday - I'm not sure yet.

[Chris 2.1]

Ok Han i've skimmed through the last chapter, and I have to say the fic is certainly coming along better. I found the battle was a little insensetive...I mean, just after Tracey broke down? I think he'd probably spend some time not battling, putting his training on hold etc...unless Misty feigned a defeat to cheer Trace up.

Also, something I noted:
"Tracey! Why didn't you open the door for us!!!??"

First off, stick to one exclamation/question mark. It looks much more professional. Also, in the event of either being used, USE ONE. Two looks very confusing. You have to make sure you prioritise. Grammatically, it should be "why didn't you open the door for us?" Because however you say it (exclamation or not) it is still a question.

Simply tell us HOW May asked it:
"Tracey! Why didn't you open the door for us?" May exclaimed.
And that way, you tell us all we need to know.


Pretty good plot wise, I'm interested where the Magma plot is heading. I like how Tracey is sort of...stuck with Oddish. In Lucky Charms the same thing has happened, but with a Dodrio. He wouldn't dare send Oddish to someone who didn't know it, and therefore feels obliged to keep it.

If it ends up becoming a Vileplume, I'll be pleased. I like them.

[Hanada Tattsu]

Chris ~ Thanks for replying and reading. ^^

Well - I kind of wanted the story to continue, showing Tracey had recovered from the death of Mio - but still was itching for revenge. I kind of used the entire Chapter 63 to back that up - how Mio's dad told her that weeping for Mio will not bring her back.. but as you know I don't really have a lot of battles in this fic anyways so it was just a front to give Oddish experience. I do like your ideas though.

As for the punctuation - yeah, I did kinda feel odd writing it like this!!! but from now on I will be more proffessional. ^^;

Thanks - I'm glad you like the Magma plot. Hehe - Tracey is stuck w/ Oddish indeed. Well, I'm still deciding what to do with Oddish... hehe... ^^

Thanks again for your help!

Tracey's Quest
Chapter 65: The St. Anne Gets Hijacked (Part I)
By Hiroshi66

"Jackson, open the door. I've battled these people before. They are defeated with a snap of the fingers." said Motohashi, motioning for the Magma executive to open the door. Jackson reluctantly came from his spot, being watched by Allyssa, and opened the cage with the red keys.

Jessie, James, and Meowth slowly but surely got out of the cage. Out of the three, Jessie seemed the most cautious and prepared, while James and Meowth slowly tagged behind her.

Motohashi stood in front of Jessie and James.

"It shall be a double battle. Your Porygon and Abra will battle our Beautifly and Dustox." said Jessie, standing in a Pokemon trainer's happy pose. James stood next to her, shoulders down, while Meowth was behind them, his head in his arms.

"Fine. Go, Porygon, and Abra!" cried Motohashi, throwing two Pokeballs out. Porygon and Abra came out of their balls. Porygon was floating in the air, frowning, while Abra was on the ground sleeping.

"Go, Beautifly!" cried Jessie, throwing out a Pokeball. Beautifly came out, fluttering by its trainer. Its colorful wings shined as it immediatly lighted up the cave.

"Go, Dustox." said James, releasing Dustox. The moth had the same, apprehensive attitude of its trainer, and just floated in mid air next to its sibling Beautifly.

"Okay, Beautifly, use Flash..on the humans!" ordered Jessie. Before Motohashi, Jackson, and Allyssa could comprehend what occured, Beautifly's entire body glowed a bright yellow color, and a massive light was outputted from its wings, straight into the eyes of not only Motohashi, Jackson, and Allyssa, but on Motohashi's Porygon and Abra as well.

"Let's get out of here!" cried Jessie, as she and Beautifly ran in the front to the exit of the cave as soon as possible. James, Dustox, and Meowth still didn't realize what happened, but made sure to run behind as well.

"Get back here!" cried Jackson, as Allyssa and Motohashi were still recovering from the light. Jackson quickly ran in their direction, but it was too late. Team Rocket had escaped the cave. Soon after, the three's eyesight returned to normal, as did Porygon's. Abra was never affected, as it was sleeping.

"Those fools decieved us." said Motohashi.

Suddenly, the three Magma executives heard someone descending the stairway. Jackson and Allyssa immediatly turned around and saluted. Motohashi and his Pokemon turned around as well, and their eyes widened.

"What is going on down here?" asked the person who was descending, who was none other than Maxie, the leader of Team Magma. He then saw Motohashi, and his eyes smirked.

Motohashi looked around him, unaware of what to do.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket was on Route 4, panting for breath. Meowth had almost collapsed. Dustox and Beautifly, however, were fluttering in the air happily.

"Beautifly - is anyone following us?" asked Jessie, between breaths. Beautifly fluttered up and checked the area. She then shook her hand. Jessie could then return to her pattern of panting for breath.

"I think we did good - Jessie, we have to go to the Boss and tell him that we found some information. Then we could be promoted!" said an excited James, but Jessie shook her head.

"The Boss is in Saffron City. We don't know where he is. Remember, he told us that he is leaving his Route 1 hideout. We won't know where to find him. I suppose until then we have to just find something else to do." said Jessie, fixing her hair while she was speaking. James looked down.

Suddenly, Meowth saw a Rocket Grunt sprinting down Route 4. He had a paper in his hands and was looking around. It was the same grunt who was guarding Giovanni's hideout on Route 1.

Meowth started waving like crazy. "Hey, Grunt! Over here!" Jessie and James saw the sight too ans started calling out. The Rocket Grunt turned towards their direction and started running to them at a slower pace.

"Hello, Executives. I am going to Saffron City - but the boss asked me that if I were to find you, I am to give you this task for you to do." said the Grunt, giving Jessie the folded paper.

As Jessie was reading, her face lighted up. She then exclaimed to James and Meowth, "We're off the Magma Task! Our next task is to hi-jack the cruise ship S.S. Anne in Vermillion City and blow it up, after taking the loot and Pokemon too." said Jessie. James and Meowth also lighted up.

"Giovanni wanted to know whether you found out any information about Team Magma." said the Grunt, looking at Jessie curiously.

"Yes. Their hideout is in Mt. Moon." said Meowth, hoping to get some credit for what he was doing.

The Grunt nodded. "He thought so. Well, I'll put in a good word for you. Good day." said he, and ran towards the direction of Cerulean City. As he was gone, Jessie and James breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad the boss took us of that Magma task. Those people are dangerous." said Meowth.

"We can't stay here any longer. Soon those Magma people might come outside. Let's get out of here!" said James. Jessie and Meowth nodded and James recalled Dustox. Jessie told Beautifly to keep looking back and make sure Team Magma wasn't tailing them.

As they ran, James asked, "Where are we going?"

Jessie sneered at him. "To Vermillion City of course! We have to hijack that cruise ship! We must get their as soon as possible. It leaves tommorow morning at 7:00 for a cruise in Vermillion Harbor." said Jessie. The Rockets ran, as Beautifly kept looking back.

"Jessie, can I ask something?" asked Meowth wilfully.

"What is it?" sneered Jessie, looking down on the talking cat Pokemon.

"Will there be Pina Coladas on the ship?"

Vermillion City was calm the next morning. The skyscrapers in the financial district were shining in the morning sun. In the sea, Horsea and Tentacool were swimming together. The Pokemon Center was still sleeping. Nurse Joy was in her room, and Chansey was sleeping in the Pokemon room. On the top floor, two adjacent rooms housed Tracey in one, and May and Misty in the other.

Tracey was awake. He was sitting on the balcony and watching the S.S Anne finish docking in the harbor. He noticed the ship was huge, painted almost entirely blue, with small yellow indents. It seemed to be a new cruise ship. Inevitably, he was excited. He then became sad again. He took Oddish's Pokeball - with its Miracle Seed still attached. He felt that he wanted to abandon Pokemon training - but he remembered what Mio's father had said.

He remembered that Mio's father and mother had told her at Mio's funeral that Mio wouldn't want her death to be remembered but rather that she had everything that she wanted. He put Oddish's Pokeball away and continued looking at the window.

Suddenly, he heard two knocks at the door. Not thinking anymore that it might be Motohashi, he opened the door for May and Misty. Luckily, they were outside.

"Good morning Tracey!" said May. Misty waved. May was rubbing sunscreen on her face, while Misty seemed to have already put it on. Each one of them had a Pokemon out. May's Marill was out next to her, with its little yellow chain ringing on its pink skin. As for Misty, she had Poliwhirl out, in her eyes, who's normal eyes were looking at Tracey.

"Ready to go?" asked May, who put her sunscreen bottle away.

"Yeah. Let me just get my bag." said Tracey, and ran into his room and got his backpack. After putting it on, he released Seadra from its Dive Ball, who immediatly began chatting with Poliwhirl and Marill. Tracey held Seadra in his arms and they began to walk down to the lobby of the Pokemon Center. it was currently 6:30 in the morning. May had said the S.S Anne was departing at 7:00 - so they had a good half hour to go. Seadra was still sleeping in Tracey's arms.

It was 6:50 in the morning when the three trainers reached Vermillion Harbor. The sailors and their Machop were on a small ship unloading cargo when Tracey's Machoke suddenly came out of its Pokeball. May and Misty looked at it.

Misty comemnted, "Tracey, your Machop evolved?"

"Yeah, it did. At the Vermillion gym." said Tracey. Misty nodded.

"Machoke, what is it?" asked Tracey, asking the Pokemon who was flexing his muscles.

Machoke motioned that it wanted to go help the sailors. Tracey said, "You can't go and help them, those Machop are specially trained for that kind of stuff." Machoke nodded and Tracey recalled him.

"Guys - there it is!" pointed May - as the three trainers saw a large cruise ship at dock. There was a man outside who was accepting tickets. The S.S Anne was huge. As Tracey had seen from the window - it was painted dark blue with small yellow insets.

"Guys - let's go, we'll be late." said Tracey, and got his ticket out from his pocket. Holding Seadra in one of his hands towards his chest and holding the ticket in the other, Tracey ran as May and Misty slowly followed.

Soon they reached it. The attendant asked for the tickets, and May, Misty, and finally Tracey gave the tickets. The attendant collected the tickets and invited the three trainers inside. They entered.

The S.S Anne was huge. The main seminar room was full of Pokemon trainers, historians, battle analyzers, Kantan politicians, and police. Seadra woke up and was surprised that they were on the S.S Anne.

The attendant followed them in, however, and told Tracey that their temporary bunk for the day was to be on the second floor, and gave the room number. Tracey thanked him and motioned for May and Misty to go up to their bunk.

Tracey whispered to Misty and May that it would be best if they keep their supplies and Pokemon in the bunk so that they are not stolen. Misty and May nodded.

The bunk was lavish. There was a window with a balcony which looked out onto the Vermillion Ocean. There were three beds, and a couch as well as two armchairs. A television and a VCR/DVD player/recorder was on one corner of the room, and a computer was on the other with a printer and scanner. A photo of the current emperor of Kanto hung on one side. A closet was there too. A table and a tiny kitchen was on one corner of the room. A refridgerator and bookshelf was adjacent to the bathroom door - which had a shower, a toilet, a sink, and even a tiny window which overlooked the ocean.

The three trainers put their belongings on one side. They then released their Pokemon.

"You guys - we're going to go out and tour the cruise ship for a while. We're leaving you guys to frolick and play here. You can go on the balcony but don't jump off the railing. And don't come outside. If anyone knocks, hide unless its us." said Tracey to the group.

The Pokemon nodded.

Seadra and Electrode conversed with Misty's Poliwhirl and May's Makuhita - as Machoke and Charmeleon talked with May's Combusken, Misty's Meditite, and also May's Flaffy. Oddish talked with May's Marill, Misty's Igglybuff and May's Cleffa, as well as Misty's Pikachu and Misty's Sunflora. All the Pokemon had fun. Charmeleon turned on the television and the group watched an episode of Pokemon about the Vermillion Gym.

Meanwhile, Tracey, May, and Misty walked off to explore the S.S Anne.

Chapter 3 of my other fanfifc *MIGHT* be up today, while I can plan for Chapter 66 of this to be up tommorow.

[Hanada Tattsu]

Okay, I've decided a schedule. As Tracey's Quest is my full time fic, it willb e written five times a week. The Last Trainer, a part time fic - will be written twice a week. Here's the schedule:

Tracey's Quest: Sunday, Tuesday, Friday
The Last Trainer: Saturday, Wednesday

So basically, I won't be writing on Mondays and Thursdays.

Chapter 65 will thus be up on Tuesday. Here's a tiny preview:

Preview of Chapter 65: The St. Anne Gets Hijacked (Part 2)

- Tracey meets Mio's parents.
"How is Mio's Oddish coming along?" asked James, with a glow in his eye. Tracey looked up in the direction of the suite and laughed.
"The Oddish is doing great, its really a great Pokemon. I'm going to have a wonderful time training it."
"That's good then. Mio did too." said Maria, with a deep sigh as she said the name of her late daughter.

-Jessie and James battle Tracey! A climactic end to a climactic two-part episode!
"Bagon - shake Charmeleon's hand!" said James, as Bagon ran up to Charmeleon and squeezed the fire lizard's hand. Charmeleon screamed, but remembered Tracey's order. Just as the Flamethrower was going to hit Bagon right in the face, Trapinch grabbed onto Charmeleon's head and pulled back. Seadra's Water Gun, however, took care of Bagon, toppling him to the ground. Suddenly, both Bagon and Trapinch began to glow white.

Check out Tracey's Quest, Chapter 65, on Tuesday!

Note to Readers ~ Hey guys! Sorry I was late in writing Chapter 65.. I just was quite busy with schoolworkers. However, I am now off from school and thus can write my chapters on time. ^^

Tracey's Quest: The Kanto Pokemon Federation
Chapter 65: The St. Anne Gets Hijacked (Part 2)
By HanadaTattsu

The St. Anne was lavish and huge. The main hall hosted hundreds, even thousands, of people – some trading Pokemon, some comparing Pokemon, some shopping at the various shops on the ship – and some just sitting on benches and enjoying the sights and sounds. Tracey, May, and Misty also were walking around, not knowing where to begin and what to do. May was looking at some clothes in the shopping windows, while Misty looked around and saw two trainers trading a Staryu and a Swablu. Tracey was just looking around, surprised at the huge ship.

Suddenly, Tracey heard somebody call his name. He looked around in the crowd of people and saw Mio’s parents, James and Maria running towards them. Tracey waved back and motioned for May and Misty to follow him to meet the two people. May and Misty slowly followed - while Misty pulled May away from her shopping spree.

“Glad to see that you could make it here, Tracey. Who are these lovely young ladies?” asked James, looking at May and Misty.

“These are May and Misty, two of my friends from Valencia Island.” said Tracey.

May and Misty lightly bowed, as did James and Mary.

“We’re very sorry to hear about Mio.” said Misty, as May nodded.
“Well, I think she wouldn’t have liked us to dwell on it too long.” said Maria, looking down.
“We’re glad you could make it here,” said James, speaking as he looked around the ship. “How do you like it so far?”
“Its great. Wonderful. I can’t wait to get back to Vermillion though.” said Tracey.
“Vermillion? Oh, there’s been a change of plans. This ship is taking us directly to Cinnabar Island.” said James, as Maria nodded.
Tracey stood there with his mouth open, while May and Misty looked at each other.
“But we didn’t go to the Vermillion Gym yet!” exclaimed May, as Misty decided to smartly not complain.
“May – its all right. After Vermillion you had to go to Cinnabar anyways by way of the ocean. You can just leave that for later. After you defeat the fourth gym at Cinnabar, and after defeating other gyms on the way - you can just go to Vermillion before the last gym in Viridian.” Said Tracey, as James nodded in agreement.
"Wait but what's the order?" asked May, still skeptical.
"From Cinnabar - you go to Seafoam - to Fuchsia - to Saffron - to Celadon - To Lavender - and then back to Vermillion. From Vermillion I go to Viridian - but you guys have to get your badge and then go back." said Tracey, with his right pointer finger up as if he was lecturing.

“Oh, okay – that’s fine then. Our Pokemon will be a lot stronger by then.” said May, as Misty smiled back.
"How is Mio's Oddish coming along?" asked James, with a glow in his eye. Tracey looked up in the direction of the suite and laughed.
"The Oddish is doing great, its really a great Pokemon. I'm going to have a wonderful time training it."
"That's good then. Mio did too." said Maria, with a deep sigh as she said the name of her late daughter.
Suddenly, they all heard a blast in the middle of the room. The main hall, centered alongside an arena, where battles would take place later on during the journey, soon became illuminated with a black strobe light. Two figures and a cat Pokemon stood up in the middle.

"Konnichiwa, everybody."
"Allow us to introduce ourselves."
"To protect the world from devistation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils from 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!"
"Meowth - that's right!"
"Team Rocket!"

The initial reply to this interesting turn of events was fright, and then an artificial silence.

"Not these clowns again." said Misty.
"Don't you know you're just not wanted." yelled Tracey.
"Team Rocket! What are they doing here?" asked James, as Maria looked on with an angry look on her face. May was a bit scared.
Jessie and James looked down at where Tracey was standing.
"Twerp - we don't have time for being bogged down by you. Listen - everybody! Team Rocket has hijacked this ship! We plan to blow it up as soon as possible. It will never reach Cinnabar Island. All Pokemon will be stolen. Until then - we want everybody to surrender their Pokemon reluctantly. If not - the bloodbath will begin." announced Jessie.

She then snapped her fingers.

Meowth held out a pistol, and also what looked like a long red tube.
"The flamethrower will douse whoever does not give their Pokemon in reluctantly. That goes for the twerp too." said Jessie. James was awfully passive.

As Jessie gave out other information and yapped on - Tracey told May and Misty, "Guys, you stay here. I'm going up to the room and getting back our Pokemon. Give me the balls and I'll return them."
"Tracey - you can't!" said May.
"You'll get shot by Team Rocket if they see you!" cried Misty.
James and Maria too seemed worried.
"I have to rescue our Pokemon - guys. I'll be fine." said Tracey.
May and Misty nodded and gave Tracey the empty Pokeballs. Tracey put them in his pack and quietly sneaked off through the room.
The room was quite large, and the amount of people made it hard for Team Rocket to see someone crawling through the ranks. Tracey crawled on the floor, between people, until he reached the elevator. Nobody seemed to question his presence, as everyone was scared to death.
Upon reaching the elevators, Tracey suddenly realized he couldn't take the elevator, as it would make a sound. Tracey thus decided that it would be best to take the stairway.
Now out of sight, he walked across an adjacent hall, and reached a door which was the stairway. It smelled a bit - but under Tracey's circumstances he had to get through no matter what the cost.
Tracey entered the room and ran up two flights of stairs.
Tracey exited the stairwell and almost collapsed. He hardly could walk to the cabin and enter the room - but somehow he managed to.
Tracey was relieved to see all the Pokemon playing with one another.
"You guys - Team Rocket has taken control of the ship. May and Misty told me to recall you guys. Now let's go."
The Pokemon all nodded - except May's Combusken who wanted to go to her Master.

"Combusken - May told me to recall you. She'll use you to battle Team Rocket - I'm sure." said Tracey. Combusken nodded.

Tracey, in a period of five minutes, after testing the Pokeballs randomly, managed to recall each and every Pokemon. He ran down the stairwell again and saw that nothing much had changed. Jessie was still making a speech about how great she was. Tracey crawled down again under the people, this time with a heavier backpack. He quietly reached May and Misty - and gave them their Pokeballs. The two trainers attached them to their waist - as did Tracey. James whispered something to Maria, and Maria smiled looking at Tracey and Misty.

"Now, we'll start from the twerp. Let's get your Pokemon, child." said Jessie - as Meowth aimed the flamethrower straight at Tracey's face. James was still behind Jessie, not uttering a word.

"I'm not Team Rocket. Not without a battle." said Tracey.

"Twerp - we've been through this many times. We don't want a battle - we just want your Pokemon. Now give it here!" screamed Jessie, launching herself forward to grap the Pokeball of Seadra.
"Let him - Jessie." said James. Jessie and Meowth looked back seeing James raise his right hand in surrender.
"Fine! But if he loses - he and his cronies will all be burned!" said Jessie, with an almost firey look in her eyes.
Jessie and James stood in front of Tracey in the arena. Meowth had his flamethrower next to him, with his pistol in front of him, looking at his two trainers battling his sworn enemy.

"We'll use our strongest additions! Go, Trapinch!" said Jessie, as she threw her Pokeball. Trapinch came out. The small lizard came out, staring at all the people watching it. It then saw Jessie's hair, and, tempted, immediatly bit it. Jessie screamed, and kicked the lizard out onto the arena.
"Go, Bagon." said James, lightly setting the ball on the arena. Bagon came out, quite energetic. He shook James' hand, as James said "ow" in an extremely monotone voice. Bagon then stood next to Trapinch, more warmed up then before.

"I'll use Seadra, and Charmeleon!" ordered Tracey, throwing out the Dive and Friend Balls onto the arena. Seadra came out, staring at Team Rocket angirly. Charmeleon too, looked at Bagon with wideset eyes.
"Start this battle off with a Bite attack on Charmeleon's tail!" cried Jessie. Trapinch ran up to Charmeleon, hungirly looking at Charmeleon's long tail.
"Charmeleon - just sit there." said Tracey. Charmeleon, with a smirk, agreed. As Trapinch put his jaws around the firey tail, Trapinch realized he had bitten fire! His mouth began to burn, and he ran around the arena with his mouth on fire.

"Seadra, douse it out with Water Gun!" ordered Tracey. Seadra's snout was filled up with freezing water and it doused the fire in Trapinch's mouth. Steam rose from the Pokemon's mouth, and Trapinch could hardly breath. Bagon also got a bit of damage because he couldn't breath.
"Seadra - use Twister" ordered Tracey. A tornado came out of Seadra's small spout. Bagon and Trapinch both began to spin in and out of the whirpool and collapsed on the floor.
"Bagon - go use Comet Punch!" ordered James. Bagon's right arm glowed yellow and Bagon ran up to Charmeleon.
"Charmeleon - use Flamethrower!" ordered Tracey. Before Charmeleon could attack however, Bagon punched Charmeleon in the nose.
"Bagon - shake Charmeleon's hand!" said James, as Bagon ran up to Charmeleon and squeezed the fire lizard's hand. Charmeleon screamed, but remembered Tracey's order. Just as the Flamethrower was going to hit Bagon right in the face, Trapinch grabbed onto Charmeleon's head and pulled back. Seadra's Water Gun, however, took care of Bagon, toppling him to the ground. Suddenly, both Bagon and Trapinch began to glow white.

Trapinch suddenly stopped glowing white. It then sent a huge energy attack - made up of grey and white energy - and it collided into Seadra, who managed to withstain the attack.
"Yes! My Trapinch learned Focus Energy!" said Jessie, jumping with Trapinch.

Bagon however still glowed white. It grew larger in length, but it got shorter at the same time. When it stopped glowing, it was a small, white shell, with two eyes looking out.
"My Bagon evolved into Shellgon!" yelled James, happily.
Jessie was terrified, as was her Trapinch, who's buddy had changed.
"Now we shall win!" yelled James, happy for the first time that day.
"Shellgon - begin with your Headbutt attack!" ordered James. James' new Shellgon got ready to go charge at Seadra.
"Trapinch - you too!" ordered Jessie.
Shellgon and Trapinch ran together towards Charmeleon and Seadra.
"Just use your Flamethrower and Water Pulse!" ordered Tracey.
Charmeleon and Seadra both send their water attacks at the two Pokemon.
Trapinch continued running and got caught in Charmeleon's Flamethrower. It fainted.

"Return you weak lizard" ordered Jessie, recalling her fainted Trapinch. As for Shellgon, the Pokemon saw the water and got out of the way.
"Shellgon - use your Hyper Beam on Charmeleon!" ordered James. Shellgon's black insides glowed yellow, and a huge beam crashed into Charmeleon's stomach. The lizard fell on the floor, fainting.

"Charmeleon!" cried Tracey. Tracey ran to Charmeleon - and it had fainted. Tracey recalled Charmeleon in its Friend Ball.

"Looks like we're alone, Seadra." said Tracey, as Seadra nodded.

"Shellgon - use another Hyper Beam!" ordered James. Shellgon's insides glowed yellow again, but it turned back to black. Shellgon's breathing was heavy. It didn't have enough energy left.

"Seadra! Use your own Hyper Beam!" ordered Tracey. Seadra's snout glowed yellow, and a strong Hyper Beam crashed into Shellgon. Shellgon fainted.

"You're the same as Trapinch! Return!" ordered James, recalling his new evolution.

Jessie, James, and Meowth looked around. Not only did Tracey's angry face stare them in the eyes - but also the angry faces of every single trainer on the ship. Some had their hands on Pokeballs.

"Uh.. we've got to go! Nice meeting you!" said Jessie, who grabbed James and Meowth and headed on to the exit.

"How will we exit?" asked James, as Meowth looked on.

"We have a defloatable raft here." said Jessie, as she opened a box and quickly told Meowth to blow into it.

"Where did you get that?" asked Meowth, out of breath.

"I stole it from the shop." said Jessie, as they jumped in and speeded off for Cinnabar Island.

Suddenly, Tracey saw Seadra panting. It seemed to have some sort of a green scale on one of its fins.

"Seadra what's wrong?" asked Tracey, worried.

James walked up to them. "Ah - that's a Dragon Scale. If Seadra holds it for long enough - it will evolve into its final evolution - Kingdra!"

Tracey looked at James, and then at Seadra, excited. Seadra smiled too.

Suddenly, the boat stopped. "We have reached Cinnabar Island! Prepare to get off!"

Tracey's Quest
Chapter 66: The Reunion on Cinnabar Island
Part 1

By HanadaTattsu

The S.S Anne was no longer moving. The battle arena was filled with stains from the previous battle - and some of the trainers were still afraid after the recent escapade with Team Rocket. Another few trainers were mad that they didn't have as much time to tour the S.S Anne as they wanted.

Seadra was excited. His Dragon Scale glowed as the seahorse excitedly jumped up and down. Tracey recalled him in his Dive Ball, and entered the line with May, Misty, James, and Maria to exit the ship.

"Thank you for the ticket, I really had a nice time." said Tracey, as he bowed to James and Maria.

"Nothing of the sort. You saved the entire ship." said James, laughing.

The ship was docked at Cinnabar Beach. The beach was practically deserted - and the air was crisp, a sharp contrast to the smog of cosmpolitan Vermillion City. There were a few trainers training their Pokemon - as well as a few teenagers playing volleyball. There was not a cloud in the sky.

"To tell the truth - Maria and I came here to relax on our private resort on the beach. My Fearow will then take us back to Vermillion City." laughed James, as Maria nodded on.

Tracey, May, and Misty also laughed.

"Well, I guess this is it. Have fun on your vacation." said Tracey, as May and Misty bowed. James and Maria bid them goodbye and walked towards the direction of a private cabin.

"There's a gym here - right Tracey?" asked May, anxiously.

"Yes. The gym leader is Blaine, he trains fire types. Luckily for me - I can use Seadra and Machoke." said Tracey, holding Seadra's and Machoke's Pokeballs in either of his hands.

"We don't have that many types which are good against fire, May, we better train." said Misty, giving May an offer which she had better not refuse if she wanted the Volcano Badge.

"Fine. We do need to level up our Pokemon." said May. "But where can we train?"

"Here on the beach." said Misty, as May nodded happily, thinking that she can relax on the beach rather than train the Pokemon.

"The next gym from here is in Fuchsia City, but you have to go through Seafoam Island first." said Tracey, as May and Misty paid immediate attention.

"Well, see you guys later." said Tracey, as May and Misty waved. Tracey turned around and walked towards the city, with tears in his eyes. It was the first time he was apart from May and Misty since Vermillion City - since in a way they rescued him after the assasination of Mio. Now - he was far away from Motohashi - who was somewhere on the mainland. He was on a far southern island.

After walking through about a half-mile of sand, Tracey finally arrived on Cinnabar Island. It was a small resort town - with shops, similar to Lassen Island. The entire town was built around the Pokemon Center.

Jun continued walking on and got into a shabby part of town which wasn't yet invaded by tourists. There were two main buldings - the Cinnabar Island Gym - which was bright red - and an old building which looked deserted. In front of this old building, Tracey saw somebody who looked familiar to him - Ned Wallingrum!

"Mr. Wallingrum!" cried Tracey, running up to the man. Ned seemed to be in deep thought but when he heard Tracey's voice he waved back.

"Hello, Tracey. Long time no talk." said Mr. Wallingrum, outstreching his hand. Tracey shook it.

"What are you doing here on Cinnabar?" asked Ned, after conversing.

"Well - I was on the S.S Anne - and it dropped us of here. I was with May and Misty, but they're training. I'm going to battle the gym leader here." said Tracey.

Ned suddenly acted like he saw a ghost and became quite nervous. Tracey obviously hadn't noticed this and continued on jabbering.

"So - how's the gym leader Blaine? Is he a challenge to defeat?" asked Tracey, but Ned didn't hear him.

"Mr. Ned? Mr. Ned?" but Ned wasn't answering. Suddenly, he snapped out of his trance, and looked at Tracey straightforwardly.

"Tracey - I haven't been 100% honest with you. My older brother is Blaine - the gym leader of Cinnabar Island. A few weeks ago, however, he passed on. In his will, he passed on the ownership of the gym to me. Therefore - I am the gym leader of Cinnabar Island."

Tracey gasped.

"I hate being a gym leader. Whenever I defeat a trainer, I feel bad. Now I have to battle you? One of my friends?"

Ned then went into a sweating frenzy, taking off his hat and taking a hankerchief out - wiping the sweat materializing on his face. The hot Cinnabar sun wasn't helping either.

"Mr. Wallingrum - I have to battle you. Without the Cinnabar Volcano Badge - I can't enter the Kanto League.. there's no way for me to not battle you.. please.."

Ned hesistated, but then nodded.

"Follow me."

Tracey quietly followed Ned into the Cinnabar Gym. He unlocked the door and entered the gym. It was quite dark, and the walls were made of black marble. There was a red arena in the middle of the second floor - which was reached by way of a stairway. The arena overlooked the lobby floor.

Ned walked passively to the arena. He stood across Tracey looking down on the floor.

"This battle will be a two-on-two battle. I understand that we are friends - and though I feel bad about battling you - I have to do my best to defeat you."

Tracey nodded, much more sure of himself than Ned was.

"My starter will be.. Numel! Go!" ordered Ned. Ned threw a Red Pokeball onto the arena, and a small yellow camel came out onto the arena, lightly saying its name.

"This shouldn't be too difficult to beat." thought Tracey, pondering what Pokemon he should use. Oddish wouldn't be good to use against fire types - and Electrode, being part-steel couldn't either. He had to use either Machoke or Seadra.

"Go - Machoke!" ordered Tracey, throwing the Heavy Ball which contained Machoke. Machoke came out, flexing its muscles assertively. Wearing his blackbelt, he faced Numel.

"Machoke - start off with Vital Throw!" ordered Tracey. Machoke began running towards Numel - getting ready to get Numel and throw him across the arena. However, Machoke had to bend down to do this - mainly because it was much taller than his opponent, Numel.

"Numel - Headbutt it in its chest!" ordered Ned. Numel got ready and just as Machoke was about to grab the fire camel, Numel's head pushed Machoke across the arena. Machoke fell down, but got back up again.

"Machoke - use your Mega Punch attack!" ordered Tracey. Machoke's right arm glowed a dark yellow color and Machoke almost floated over towards Numel, gettiing ready to punch it.

"Counter it with Fire Spin!" ordered Ned.

Just as Numel was about to spit fire flames out of its mouth, Machoke punched it in the jaw. The fire flames thus stayed in the mouth, irritating Numel. Blood oozed out. Numel fell on the floor, but slowly plopped up again.

"Go ahead and use Ice Punch!" ordered Tracey.

Machoke's right fist this time glowed a white, icy color, and Machoke lunged towards Numel.

"Melt it using Flamethrower!" ordered Ned.

Numel sent out a bunch of flames from its mouth, and it encircled Machoke. The ice on its arm melted, and the arm was charred. Machoke now could not use his right arm.

"Okay - Numel! Now Bite attack on its arm!" ordered Ned.

Before Tracey could utter an attack, Numel rushed over to Machoke and bit his right arm - making Machoke scream a cry of pain.

"Finish it with Fire Spin!" ordered Ned. Numel sent a fire tornado out of its mouth and it encircled Machoke. When the flames had dissappeared, Machoke was on the floor, charred.

"Machoke! Are you all right?" cried Tracey, rushing over to Machoke. The Pokemon was completely out.

Tracey slowly recalled Machoke but was interrupted by a white glow. Numel glowed white, getting larger and larger every second. After a few seconds, Numel stopped glowing. It was now red, with several volcanoes on its back and much taller and larger. Numel had evolved into Camerupt!

"Wow! My Numel evolved into Camerupt!" said Ned, happily.

"Congratulations." said Tracey, being a good sport after his loss.

"I was wondering when it would evolve. I caught it on Fire Island." said Ned. "Okay, Camerupt, let's get ready to finish this battle." said Ned, with something of a passive tone in his voice.

"This is my strongest Pokemon. It now has a Dragon Scale attached - meaning it will soon evolve. Go Seadra!" ordered Tracey, throwing the Dive Ball out. Seadra came out, its scale shining. It faced Camerupt.

"We can defeat that with one Stomp! Go!" ordered Ned.

Camerupt, much larger began to preform its Stomp attack. But because Camerupt grew when he evolved, his speed was slower. Just as his right foot was about to stomp Seadra, Tracey ordered a Smoke Screen attack.

Seadra sent a glosh of ink into Camerupt's eyes - ruining his accuracy and making him release a cry of pain.

"Camerupt - ignore that! Use Fire Blast!" ordered Ned. Camerupt sent a bunch of flames out of its mouth, which encircled Seadra and almost burned him. Tracey was confident, however.

"Seadra - use Water Pulse!" ordered Tracey, as water surrounded by seismic waves hit Camerupt, damaging it considerably.

"Tracey - you must learn true power. Camerupt - use Eruption!" ordered Ned. Camerupt's volcanoes glowed fire red, and fire came out, almost hitting Seadra.

"Seadra - douse the volcanoes with Hydro Pump!" ordered Tracey. A gash of icy cool water came out of Seadra's snout and went into Camerupt's two volcanoes. Camerupt cried as steam rose from its volcanoes. It fainted.

"Good job - Camerupt, return." said Ned, recalling Camerupt.

"Excellent Seadra!" cried Tracey, and Seadra was smiling too.

"This is my most powerful Pokemon. I don't think you will be able to defeat it. Go! Typhlosion!" cried Ned, throwing out a Pokeball with Typhlosion. Typhlosion came out, extremely tall. It growled. but then recognized Tracey and Seadra. Tracey and Seadra recognized it too. Seadra ran over to talk with Typhlosion. Tracey for a minute thought he was on Electric Island when he first met Ned - and his Horsea made friends with Cyndaquil.

"Time Out! You guys - you have to battle!" said Tracey. Typhlosion and Seadra bowed to each other and got ready to battle. The dragon scale was glowing violently. Suddenly, the battle began.

Chapter 67 will be up tommorow.

Preview of Chapter 67: The Reunion on Cinnabar Island!

-The battle between Ned and Tracey continues.
"Typlosion - use Fire Blast!" ordered Ned, his fist clenched. Typhlosion looked at Seadra's black eyes, which were glowing furiously. He then unleashed a huge fire attack in the Chinese-character for fire.
"Seadra - Hydro Pump!" ordered Tracey. Seadra's snout unleashed icy water which doused out the Fire Blast and hit Typhlosion. It was badly hurt.

-Team Rocket meet a new foe in the Seafoam Islands
"Who are you?" asked Jessie, looking at the lady in the blue dress with envy.
"My name is Glacia. I am a member of Team Aqua. And you?" asked Glacia, adjusting her scantily clad blue uniform.
"We are Team Rocket!" said Jessie, striking a pose. James and Meowth, though, hungry, just stood there watching Jessie without doing anything.

Chapter 67! Up tommorow!

Tracey's Quest 2
The Kanto Pokemon Federation
Chapter 67: The Reunion on Cinnabar Island (Part 2 of 2)
By HanadaTattsu

"Tracey, let me just say something before we begin the final round." said Ned, who wasn't sweating for the first time since the battle began. He adjusted his glasses, as Tracey looked at him, anticipating what the elderly Pokemon Watcher wanted to tell him.

"No matter who is the victor in this match - our friendship will remain unchanged. Is that clear?" asked Ned, his hands behind his back. Tracey firmly nodded. Seadra and Typhlosion nodded at each other too, as if supporting what Ned has said.

"Seadra - start off with Water Pulse! Aim it at Typhlosion's back!" ordered Tracey, his right fist clenched. Seadra shot its water out of its snout - sending the ice cold blast towards Typhlosion.

"Typhlosion - dodge!" ordered Ned. Just as the Water Pulse was about to hit Typhlosion - it moved out of the way and the water attack hit the wall.

"Seadra - use your Twister attack!" ordered Tracey. Seadra shot a huge tornado attack at Typhlosion. Despite the Pokemon standing its guard, Typhlosion got carried up into the air by the attack and was slammed on the ground.

"Quickly - Smokescreen in its eyes!" ordered Tracey.

"Typhlosion! Watch out!" ordered Ned, but it was too late. Before Typhlosion had the chance to get up, its eyes were covered in a thick, sticky black tar. Typhlosion tried wiping out his eyes, but his accuracy was ruined.

"I'm done! Use Sacred Fire!" ordered Ned. Typhlosion got up and glowed red. He sent out a huge fire attack towards Seadra.

"Seadra! Dodge it!" ordered Tracey. Due to its very small size, Seadra jumped up and dodged the fire attack, which went crashing into the wall. Typhlosion growled in pain - its eyes were horribly bothering it.

"Typlosion - use Fire Blast!" ordered Ned, his fist clenched. Typhlosion looked at Seadra's black eyes, which were glowing furiously. He then unleashed a huge fire attack in the Chinese-character for fire.
"Seadra - Hydro Pump!" ordered Tracey. Seadra's snout unleashed icy water which doused out the Fire Blast and hit Typhlosion. It was badly hurt.

Suddenly, Seadra began to glow blue. The Dragon Scale, however, was glowing a rainbow color, making Seadra look very beautiful. It doubled in size, and got a lot more brissles. When it stopped glowing, the Dragon Scale was gone, and Seadra was gone too.

Seadra had evolved into Kingdra!

"Yes! I've got a Kingdra! My starter Horsea finally evolved! I've got my first third stage Pokemon!" cried Tracey, jumping up and down. He hugged Kingdra, who embraced him back.

Typhlosion smiled, and Ned congratulaed Tracey.

"Now - we'll see who'll win. My Kingdra - or your Typhlosion. Use Dragon Dance!" ordered Tracey. Kingdra began to spin around and around - finally hitting Typhlosion to the ground.

"Now that your Pokemon has befcome stronger - mine will use stronger attacks! Use Overheat!" ordered Ned. Typhlosion glowed a dark red color, and began charging towards Kingdra.

"Kingdra.. remember what you did when you were a Horsea at the Tangelo and Mikan Island Gym? Jump out of the way!" ordered Tracey. Just as it seemed Typhlosion would KO Kingdra, Kingdra jumped out of the way, and Typhlosion crashed into the wall.

"Finish it with Hyper Beam!" ordered Tracey.

"Counter with another Overheat!" ordered Ned, but Typhlosion was too hurt. As the black and red beam left Kingdra's snout - it crashed into Typhlosion - fainting the already fatigued Pokemon.

"Yes! We beat Typhlosion!" cried Tracey, almost jumping up and down. Kingdra was happy too - and its dark blue eyes glowed.

"Excellent battle, Typhlosion." said Ned, recalling the fainted Pokemon in his Pokeball. "Tracey, you are deserving of this badge. Take the Volcano Badge."

Ned handed Tracey the small red badge which was shaped in the form of a volcano.

"Yes! We got the Volcano Badge!" cried Tracey, putting his fourth Kanto gym badge in its case. Kingdra was very happy.

"Tracey - don't leave just yet. Come into the house for some lunch." said Ned, who motioned for Tracey to follow him.

"Can Kingdra come into the house?" asked Tracey, looking at his favorite Pokemon.

"Of course." said Ned.

Tracey and Ned descended the stairway and exited the gym. They walked to a house right next to the gym which overlooked the ocean. It was quite small - a little larger than Ned's home on Electric Island.

Ned got out some turkey from the fridge and began to make two turkey sandwhiches.

"Cheese?" asked Ned.

"No thanks. Just turkey, mustard and lettuce please." said Tracey.

"What would Kingdra eat, Mr. Wallingrum?" asked Tracey. Ned thought for a bit and got something out from the fridge in a plastic container.

"Plankton. Take this case for you. They're readily available at the markets." said Ned, handing the plastic container. He got a plate, and Tracey put the plankton on it, which Kingdra happilly ate.

Ned placed the two sandwhiches in front of him and Tracey.

"Anything to drink?" asked Ned.

"Water for me please." said Tracey. Ned got the water pitcher and poured it into two cups. They then began lunch.

"So - how did you end up here?" asked Tracey, as he took a crunchy bite of his turkey sandwhich, tasting the sour taste of the yellow mustard.

"Well - as you know, I was living on Electric Island in my cabin. One day I went to Fire Island to do some research on the mystery there and caught a Numel. Soon after - my Quilava evolved into Typhlosion, and my Numel into Camerupt." said Ned, and stopped his story to take a bite of his turkey sandwhich, accidentally dropping a bit of the swiss cheese on his plate.

"My older brother, Blaine, was the leader of this gym. He had fire types - however, he and his Pokemon died of old age. In his will, he had said that his brother, Ned Wallingrum will take over the gym." said Ned, taking a drink of the ice cold water and looking at the ocean out the window.

"So - I had to sell my little house on Electric Island and move to Kanto. The thing is - that I hate to battle. Its terrible. I'm not battling material - I'm a Pokemon Watcher. I can't do this stuff easily. And now I'm here." said Ned, finishing his first half of the sandwhich.

"I see how it is now. What are you going to do?" asked Tracey, starting his second half of the sandwhich and taking a gulp of his water.

"I don't know. I have to battle here until I die. But I love this estate. The Pokemon like to play in the backyard a lot." said Ned.

"So where is the next gym?" asked Tracey.

"Well, its in Fuchsia City. You have to cross the Seafoam Islands and then take the sea route to Fuchsia." said Ned, taking a gulp of water.

"But the S.S Anne took me from Vermillion City to Cinnabar Island - but how will I get from Cinnabar Island to Fuchsia City?" asked Tracey.

"Don't you have a ship?" asked Ned, finishing his sandwhich.

"So I have to transport the Valencia from home to here?" asked Tracey.

"Yes. Use that to get to Fuchsia - it should take about half a month. Then just transport it back - since you're going to travel the rest of Kanto by foot. If you followed the oriiginal order of the gyms - you would need it from Cinnabar to Viridian - but you're not, so just transport it back when you get to Fuchsia. So, what Pokemon do you have?" asked Ned, finishing his water.

Tracey finished his sandwhich and took another gulp of water.

"Well, I have Kingdra. I also have Electrode, Charmeleon, Machoke, and Oddish."

"Interesting team. It should serve you well. I see your Voltorb evolved - and you got a Machoke and an Oddish." said Ned.

As evening fell, Tracey got ready to leave Cinnabar Island. There was not much left to do.

"So - just go to the Pokemon Center and ask your dad to have his Smeargle teleport it here. Then, just take the ship and zoom off for the Seafoam Islands." said Ned.

"Thanks for everything, Mr. Wallingrum. I will see you some other time!" said Tracey, waving goodbye, recalling Kingdra in its Dive Ball.

"No problem! See you soon!" said Ned.

Tracey walked to the Cinnabar Island Pokemon Center, and phoned his house. He hadn't phoned in an extremely long time.

"Hello?" answered Andrea.

"Hi mom." said Tracey, waving.

"TRACEY! Drew, come here! Tracey's phoning!" yelled Andrea, as Miltank waved to Tracey. Drew ran down the steps, with his Smeargle following him. He grabbed the phone from Andrea.

"Hi Dad." said Tracey.

"Son! Where are you!?" asked Drew.

"I'm on Cinnabar Island - just got my fourth gym badge. I wanted to call and ask if you could teleport me the Valencia so I can go to Seafoam Island." said Tracey.

"Ah - sure. Smeargle - use Teleport and take the Valencia to Cinnabaf Island's main dock!" said Drew. Tracey watched as Smeargle glowed purple. It them stopped glowing and called its name.

"Okay - the boat should be in dock now. How are you?" asked Drew.

"Fine. Well, I've got to go now." said Tracey, waving goodbye. "Say hi to Proffessor Ivy for me."

"We will! I love you dear - see you soon!" said Andrea, as she and Drew kissed Tracey goodbye. Tracey hung up and left the Pokemon Center. He saw the Valencia in the dock. He neared it. Tracey then prepared to get on, the first time since Pallet.

~-~

Team Rocket were on the raft. Jessie was sitting, angirly looking at the water. Meowth's mouth watered - as he longed for a Pina Colada. As for James, he was happily playing with his new Shellgon.

"This thing is so cute! I'm so happy it evolved!" said James, holding it in his arms.

"Would you stop looking at that thing and think of what will happen to us! We failed the Boss! He's going to kill us!" said Jessie, as Meowth sobbed into the water.

"Haha! Is that all you can think of?" asked James. "Look - that cave over there! Its the Seafoam Islands. They have a plethora of wild Pokemon! All we have to do is still them and give them to the boss!"

Jessie and Meowth's face lighted up, as the three began to row quickly towards the island. Shellgon just stood and smiled.

Soon, they reached it. As soon as they put the raft away and took the air out, they felt cold. The Seafoam Islands were caves that were made out of ice. James held Shellgon in his arms as Jessie and Meowth entered. James and Shellgon came in last.

The Seafoam Islands were huge. The inside was made up of ice, and a huge pool of freezing water was in the middle. Wild Pokemon ran at random.

"Wow! There is a plethora of Pokemon here!" said Jessie. "But its awfully cold."

"Forget the cold! The Boss will make us his aide de camp!" said James.

Suddenly, Jessie, James, and Meowth spotted a lady with a blue uniform. She had long blue hair, and was wearing a tight uniform with the word "A" on it.

"Who are you?" asked Jessie, looking at the lady in the blue dress with envy.
"My name is Glacia. I am a member of Team Aqua. And you?" asked Glacia, adjusting her scantily clad blue uniform.
"We are Team Rocket!" said Jessie, striking a pose. James and Meowth, though, hungry, just stood there watching Jessie without doing anything.

"Team Rocket? Ah! I've heard about you! You can't do anything right! Team Magma is more dangerous than you." said Glacia, laughing.

"Team Magma! We were taken prisoner by them!" said Team Rocket.

"Ah! That proves it then! I am right! Team Magma wants to turn the ocean into land! Isn't that horrible? We are originally from Hoenn, but we have extended our activities to Kanto. Now, I'll be leaving. But you fools will never defeat us!" said Glacia, and, in a minute, dissappeared outside the caves.

"Who does that broad think she is!" said Jessie.

"Forget her! Let's go get the Pokemon!" said James, as he, Shellgon, and Meowth ran to look for wild Pokemon to steal. Jessie groaned and followed them.

Hoped you liked it! Chapter 68 will be up.. Friday.

Hi guys. I decided to discontinue my other fanfic, The Last Trainer - so my new schedule for this fanfic is going to be a new chapter posted Mondays, Wednesdays, and Sundays. Here's a new Chapter Preview for Chapter 68.

Chapter Preview: #68: Seafoam Islands! Kingdra Vs. Slowking!

-Tracey sees a Pokemon he's never seen before.
As Tracey slowly walked near the Pokemon with Kingdra in front of him, he immediatly recognized the collosal pink creature as Slowking. He had done a lot of research on this Pokemon back when he was a boy on Valencia Island. Tracey didn't want to catch it, but merely wanted a sketch.
Suddenly, Slowking spoke. Tracey didn't really comprehend what it said, but it did say something for sure - in English. It then began walking towards Kingdra and Tracey.

-Slowking has spiritual powers.
"I will be able to directly trace your conciousness and see what card you chose. If I do not correctly guess the card - you may catch me or dispose of me - whichever you prefer. If, however, I do guess it right.. I demand a battle between you and I. Where I will use the most spiritualistic powers in battle." said Slowking, glaring at Tracey and Kingdra.

Where is everyone?

Anyway I have just read the St Anne part 1. Below are a few notes I made regarding it as I was reading:
-Machoke wanting to join the Machop - foreshadowing? If not, was it necessary?
-Interesting how May and Misty have such varied teams. Any evolutions planned for them?
-Lighted - present. lit - past ^^
-Not much of a cliffhanger for Trace's group.

That's a summary of what I thought, but I felt it was a good chapter. The writing is much much better, particularly in the Rocket part, where numerous paragraphs of description were visible. Try and carry this into Tracey's sections, as they still seemed slightly lacking. Great improvement thus far though.

Well done!

Brit Chris ~ Yeah, this fic has been empty lately. Thanks for reading!

Yeah, definately foreshadowing. When that event will come and in what form it will be in is a mystery though. ^^

This fic has always had the problem of making the other characters very developed and leaving Tracey as a monotone character. I will try to develop his character more in the future.

Thanks for reading!^^

Guys - sorry - but Chapter 68 will be up Wednesday at the latest. Sorry for the inconvience! ^^

Tracey's Quest: The Kanto Pokemon Federation
# 68: Seafoam Islands! Vs. Slowking!
By Hanada Tattsu

Tracey thanked Nurse Joy and exited the Pokemon Center. Cinnabar Island had turned quite cloudy when Tracey exited. Prior to his entrance, the island had been sunny and warm - but now the clouds had covered the sun and it appeared as if it might rain.

Tracey ran to Cinnabar Harbor, where he saw The Valencia docked. It looked the same - his father probably got Smeargle to repaint it. It was white with blue spots around the railing. Tracey unanchored his boat and got on. He hadn't been on it for a while. The last time he was on it was when he was traveling from the Orange Islands to Kanto. He entered his small cabin, and first saw his comfortable bed. Turning on the lights, he switched on the computer, which was also a television and a video phone, and put his five Pokeballs - of Kingdra, Electrode, Charmeleon, Machoke, and Oddish on the Pokeball holder. He saw the Horsea curtains behind him which he had purchased from Tangelo Islands.

He remembered why he had - to "protect" him from the three legendary birds - Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres - which had killed his brother Dannie Sketchit and which may even kill him. He knew what had triggered the birds now and wasn't scared. Tracey looked at the map of Kanto above his bookshelf. He knew he had to get to Fuchsia City to battle the next gym leader - but Ned had already told him that in order to do that - he had to get through the Seafoam Islands.

Tracey opened up his Kanto Travel Guide towards the end of the book - the chapter entitled "The South". Looking at the list of the plethora of both inhabited and uninhabited small southern islands - he saw Seafoam Island listed. Turning the page to the part about the caverns - he saw that it had a plethora of ice Pokemon but was uninhabited.

Tracey put some water and other foods in the ice fridge in the bathroom. He put any new books he had in the bookshelf and organized everything. He then exited the cabin and turned on the motor. He was off to Seafoam Island!

It was raining already, so Tracey went inside the cabin and turned the light on. He decided to release the Pokemon. Kingdra came out, waking up. Electrode and Charmeleon were next, happily jumping around. Machoke came out, but continued to meditate, as Oddish happily ran around. Everyone was surprised to see Kingdra, but soon all the Pokemon were yapping together like there was no tommorow. Tracey laughed and took a nap.

The rain was coming down hard on the ship now, and the Pokemon had snoozed off, as well as Tracey. It was still a while until they reached Seafoam anyways – perhaps about 30 miles – so Tracey knew he had a while until he reached the islands. Tracey thought of his friend Sheu – he hadn’t seen him in a long time. He thought he remembered Sheu saying he was going to the Aloe Vera League, but he wasn’t sure. Whatever the case, he truly missed him.

Soon, Tracey saw that the rain had stopped. He exited the Valencia and saw two blue caverns in the far distance. He presumed those were the Seafoam Islands. He woke up his Pokemon and recalled them, only keeping a proud Kingdra out for protection. He turned the motor on high and speeded off towards the icy caverns.


“There’s nothing here the boss would want” said Meowth with a growl. He was tired of walking and beads of sweat were forming on his coin.

James was next to him, walking slowly. He had recalled his Shellgon and with his head down, could do nothing but walk.

Jessie too was walking quietly now, a sharp contrast to her mood earlier. She suddenly turned around glaring at Meowth and James.

"Have you idiots realized something? My Trapinch has not evolved - while James' Bagon has! If the Boss wants us to find out about Team Magma - we have to defeat them in a battle and then find out the information!" said Jessie. "Without powerful Pokemon - that is impossible!"

James and Meowth blinked.

"But Jessie - the Boss told us to hijack the St. Anne! We were taken off the Magma Project." said Meowth, slowly speaking as to keep whatever energy he had.

"Who cares!? You know the Boss - he always tests people to see if they are loyal enough and always follow his tasks!" said Jessie, her fists clenched. Suddenly, Team Rocket saw a pink creature sitting on the top of the cliff right above them. He was overlooking the whirpools of water inside the Seafoam Islands, and meditating. It wore a huge object over its head which had eyes - and a bowtie.

"What's that thing?" asked Jessie, nudging James.

"I have no clue.." said James, while Meowth was scared.

"Fine! We'll just battle it! Go Trapinch!" ordered Jessie, throwing out Trapinch's Pokeball. Trapinch came out, blinking its eyes, but clamped onto Jessie's hair, biting.

"Get off of my hair you stupid thing!" screamed Jessie, as she picked up Trapinch and almost threw it in the water, being stopped first by James and Meowth.

Suddenly, the pink creature opened his eyes. The white eyes glowed purple - and the same aura surrounded Team Rocket. Nobody spoke, not knowing what to do or what to say.

Without moving its arms, the creature transported Jessie, James, Meowth, and Trapinch out of the corridors and onto their raft. Nobody said a word. The raft, parked outside, automatically began floating north towards Fuchsia City.

When Team Rocket were a good distance away from the Seafoam Islands, they stopped glowing purple.

"What the hell happened?" screamed Jessie.

"That purple thing transported us out of there and we can't go back. The currents are too strong in the other direction." said James.

"Oh well. Where to now?" asked Meowth, while Jessie was still grumbling about how Trapinch almost bit off her scalp. Trapinch looked up hungirly.

"Fuchsia, I suppose. They have a Pokemon Zoo or something over there. We can go and see what they have." said James, while Jessie became excited.

Their raft began to float towards Fuchsia - while Jessie yearned for their old Feebas Submarine.


Tracey and Kingdra moored The Valencia outside of Seafoam Island. They locked the cabin door - and Tracey made sure he had all of his Pokeballs with him. Electrode, Charmeleon, Machoke, and Oddish were all in their balls and safe on his waist, while Kingdra's empty Dive ball was on the other side of his belt - with Kingdra in his arms.

Tracey walked into the Seafoam Caverns - and shivered. There were all types of ice and water Pokemon walking and/or swimming in the water of the Seafoam Islands.

"Its a good thing I brought a jacket." laughed Tracey, as Kingdra chuckled as well.

After walking a bit, Tracey got tired.

"Kingdra - there doesn't seem to be anything in here, let's get out." said Tracey. Kingdra was about to nod when it seemed to see something. It jumped down from Tracey's arms and with its snout pointed at a cliff above. It was some sort of a pinkish Pokemon with a huge item on its head with eyes.

As Tracey slowly walked near the Pokemon with Kingdra in front of him, he immediatly recognized the collosal pink creature as Slowking. He had done a lot of research on this Pokemon back when he was a boy on Valencia Island. Tracey didn't want to catch it, but merely wanted a sketch.
Suddenly, Slowking spoke. Tracey didn't really comprehend what it said, but it did say something for sure - in English. It then began walking towards Kingdra and Tracey.

"Do you two have anything to do with the suspicious people who arrived here earlier?" asked the Slowking.

Tracey and Kingdra were amazed.

"That's the first time I've ever heard a Pokemon talk since Team Rocket's Meowth.." whispered Tracey to Kingdra.

"Answer me!" screamed the Slowking, stomping his foot down.

"What mysterious people? We just arrived here." said Tracey, almost quivering.

"Ah - I see. Well, you might not believe that you are hearing a Pokemon talk - but I have mysterious, spiritual powers." said Slowking.

"Spiritual powers? There are no such things as spiritual powers.. its obvious you're lying." said Tracey, feeling that the Slowking wasn't telling the truth.

"Fine. Let's see a demonstration of your so called powers." said Tracey. Kingdra looked at his trainer, but didn't say anything.

"Gladly."

Slowking walked behind a rock and took out a deck of cards.

"Choose a card." said Slowking, eyeing Tracey and not looking down at the deck of cards which were in front of Tracey.

Tracey took a card and watched Slowking dispose of the rest by throwing them into the water below. The whirpools quickly took them below down river.

Tracey looked at the card. It was an Ace of Spades.

"I will be able to directly trace your conciousness and see what card you chose. If I do not correctly guess the card - you may catch me or dispose of me - whichever you prefer. If, however, I do guess it right.. I demand a battle between you and I. Where I will use the most spiritualistic powers in battle." said Slowking, glaring at Tracey and Kingdra.

Tracey just listened and proceeded to look at the card again. It was an Ace of Spades. How could he guess?

"The card is an Ace of Spades." said Slowking, opening his eyes.

Tracey looked surprisingly.

"Well? Let me see the card." said Slowking, grabbing it from Tracey's hand. Kingdra too was terrified.

Slowking looked, laughed, and threw the card in the water below.

"Let me tell you something my friend - spiritual powers are very interesting. We shall see if Kingdra will survive the upcoming battle..." began Kingdra, but Tracey stopped him.

"You used a very simple trick, Slowking. Those were trick cards. All the cards were Aces of Spades, so if I chose any single card, you would know which card I chose." said Tracey. Slowking broke out in sweat.

"You then proceeded to destroy the evidence by throwing the rest of the deck in the water and then doing the same to the card I broke." said Tracey.

"Omae no yatakoto wa - subete o mitoshita!"* said Tracey, pointing his finger in Slowking's face. Kingdra cracked up.

Slowking looked down quietly. "Well, I suppose you have figured it out. But instead of you disposing of me, I shall.." began Slowking, and blood seaped out of his mouth.

"Slowking!" screamed Tracey, as he held the Pokemon in his arms before it collapsed.

"My trainer was an evil person. He used to beat me and the rest of his team members. One day - I tried to escape from him - but was caught. I knew he was going to beat me terribly - so I killed him before he could. I used the pretense of spiritual powers so the Pokemon Police wouldn't interrogate me."

Slowking's breathing was heavy. The poison he obviously took was getting to him.

"I escaped to Seafoam Island where I would scare away trainers just in case they might catch me. Look after your Pokemon. But I know of an authentic spiritualist. That person will come up in front of you soon.. and.. you will be killed by that person!" said Slowking, and collapsed.

"Who? Where?" asked Tracey, but it was too late.

Slowly, Kingdra and Tracey dumped Slowking's lifeless body into the ocean. Tracey and Kingdra then quietly left Seafoam Island. It was still raining when they exited. Tracey released Electrode, Charmeleon, Machoke, and Oddish when they got back on the Valencia, and they went out onto the raining deck with Kingdra. Tracey meanwhile, watched some television and tried to forget about the events that occured.

The Valencia then speeded off to Fuchsia City, a hundred miles or so away.

*In Japanese, lit. I know what you have done!
