The Official Searching for a Fic thread

Captain Pringle sent Tara and I copies of his old fics, so I thought I'd share! TEL should be required reading for all trainer ficcers -- best battle scenes ever.

I come seeking those who hopefully have a better memory then I. This will require you to seek back to around 2002-2003. Though it may have been earlier. I remember reading a story about Ash and co. getting dumped in New York city. This was during the Orange League as Brock was not around. They got there through some means of Prof. Oak opening a portal. It started with Team Rocket snatching Pikachu and running through it. Ash and Misty followed and of course chaos ensued. I hope someone else remembers this story as I do not recall the name, nor the author (yes I fail ¬¬'''). I could give more details on the story if needed. It was fairly popular and it was written by a female writer on behalf of her friend. It was completed and a sequel started but only got maybe 2-3 chapters.

I'd be ever thankful if you could find it, but I won't be surprised if you can't. I'd just like to see if it could be found, as my searches have failed (wayback and me do not agree). Thanks for any sort of answer!

Well, this is 'any sort of answer' - I think it rings a vague bell for me, but honestly that could just be my memory bullshitting me. In any case, I don't remember the title or the author.

Can you give us more info about it? Maybe it'll trigger someone's memory, if not mine.

[Pichu Luver]

Surely can give you more info,

After they got dumped there Ash and Misty tried to follow TR and ended up in a alley beside some store. As Pokémon was still quite popular then they got some rude comments from the adults as they thought they were taking the game waaaaaaay too seriously. I believe they got into a fight with TR as usual and got Pikachu back that way. A male teen witnessed the fight I think and decided to help them out. They decided to play Pikachu off as a hologram.

They were stuck there and some how or another they attracted way to much attention as Bulbasaur (and a few others but I can't remember) got stolen and were going to be dissected for science. They didn't believe they were Pokémon, just mutated animals or something. Ended up Charizard escaped from Ash and was rampaging around New York (he wasn't listening to Ash yet). Ash re-captured him and got back home with the teen in tow. The teen told his not too bright mother he was going off to the 'special' school that Ash and Misty went to. So he could learn to make holograms and such. The sequel starts off from there but like I said it was never finished.

Yeah... help the memory any?

I've never heard of it sorry River.

I found this old fic the other day called Pichu and the Electric Gang of Raichu. It was on the fanfic section of the TPM main website in 2000, 2001, and it was rated 5 stars... although reading it, it didn't deserve 5 stars. Haha. Those fics were the n00biest.

But anyway, my point is that I found it because I typed it into google.

So yeah Another valuable resource!
