Pokemorphs

By: Gremlin

Prologue

    A knock echoed in the vast darkness where the Crayak sat on his throne. He looked around with his eye, searching for where it came from.
    "Drode," he called one of his many servants, "Get that door for me."
    "You are constantly living in fear," Drode rasped, "You can never conquer all, yet you fight the futile battle anyway. You..."
    The Crayak sprouted an arm and clutched the Drode around it's neck. "Drode, how many times have I told you, don't try to annoy your boss." With that he threw the Drode into a black hole.
    "Not again." The Drode shrieked as it was imploded.
    The Crayak sighed, grew another arm and two legs, then searched for the door.
    Crash!
    "Okay, who put that table there?" The Crayak asked, holding his bruised knee. Nobody answered, so he continued in the dark, trying to find the door.
    Finally, he reached the door. He slowly turned the handle and looked inside.
    "I'm cold and the wolves are after me." Some old man whined. Wrong door.
    The Crayak stumbled in the darkness until he found the right door.
    "Hey, Crayak! Nice place you got here. Needs a little lighting, though. Did you forget to pay your electric bill again?"
    "Who are you?" The Crayak hissed.
    "Me? Don't say you don't remember me, 'cause I sure as heck remember you. It's LLTB! You know, Long-Lost-Twin-Brother. Listen, I sold a couple of bad universes, and I need to hide out. So, do you get HBO?"
    "I don't have one of those mindless toys." The Crayak replied.
    "What do you do for fun around here?" LLTB asked. The Crayak telekinetically brought forth six spheres. Four showed a human, one showed an Andalite, and one showed a hawk.
    "Yippee. The Earth Yeerk Resistance Channel. Fun." LLTB muttered, then he saw one was playing a GameBoy. He grinned and snapped his fingers.
    "What did you do?" The Crayak yelled, "Get out. No spheres for you!" Then, he looked at the sphere. He'd have to even the score. So he brought forth a sphere that showed Visser 3 and snapped his finger. LLTB dropped his luggage and looked for his room. At least the Crayak didn't see what he did to the Andalite's TV.

Chapter 1: (Marco)

    "Geodude, MegaPunch!"
    "Starmie, Bubblebeam!"
    Geodude fainted! Choose next Pokemon.
    "Go, Weedle. Weedle, Poison Sting!"
    Starmie Fainted!
    "Wow, you're too much. All right. You can have the Cascade Badge to show you beat me!"
    Marco got $2079 for winning!
    What's this? Weedle is evolving! Weedle evolved into Kakuna!
    "Who's the man? Who's the man?" I yelled.
    "Marco, you the man outside if you don't put down that GameBoy now." My dad threatened. So, I did the only thing any rational person would do. I went outside with my GameBoy. It was a nice Sunday morning, anyway. I walked to the forest near Cassie's. Ax would be watching the TV show, Pokemon, and Tobias was hunting, so I would be alone. Except my Pokemon, of course. My Gameboy had been acting a little weird this morning, but it was fine now, since stopped levitating.
    "I feel like fishing. Do you think I should fish, Kakuna?" I asked, going into my inventory and using the old rod.
Nothing. Not even a nibble. I used the old rod again. Yes! I caught something.
    Wild Magikarp attacked!
    I groaned. All Magikarp could do was Splash.
    Still, I needed it for my Pokedex.
    Go, Spearow! Spearow, Fury Attack. Magikarp was hit twice. Marco used PokeBall. Yes, Magikarp was caught! New Information will be added to Pokedex. Since there is no more room, Magikarp will be transferred outside Gameboy.
    "What?" I asked, it should say "Transferred to PC."
    The Gameboy started humming. It started levitating again.
    "Maybe it's faulty, and I should ask Dad for a Gameboy Color." I said.
    Then, the screen got really bright, and the Pokeball took up the screen. Fwoosh! The Pokeball flew out of the Gameboy. Whap! It hit me in the eye.
    "That will leave a bruise." I groaned.
    Fortunately, the Gameboy stopped levitating, so I could continue. But instead, for some reason, I picked up
the Pokeball it spat out.
    "What the heck?" I said, and realeased whatever was inside the Pokeball.
    "Magikarp. Karp. Karp." A Magikarp Splashed around.
    "YES!" I screamed, and ran up to it. I scratched it behind it's gills.
    "Magi. Magikarp." Magikarp said happily.
    "Hey, Magikarp, do you think it will happen again?" I asked. Magikarp shrugged.
    "Let's find out. Then, I'll show you to Cassie. Now, which Pokemon should I get next? I know, Mankey!" I yelled.
    "Karp." Magikarp agreed.

Chapter 2: (Rachel)

    "Okay, Cassie," I said, barging into the barn, "What was so important that I had to miss the shoe sale at the mall?"
    "MANKEY!" Yelled a bizarre little furball as it jumped at my head and started covering my face with something that resembled a kiss.
    "Mankey!" Marco said, charging "Don't kiss Tobias's love interest! It's bad for the story's popularity!"
    "Mankey?" The creature said sadly, as it crawled off my face.
    "No! Bad Mankey! Very, very bad." Marco lectured as the monkey thing dropped to the floor. Then, Cassie walked in.
    "What was that?" I asked as Cassie.
    "A Pokemon." Cassie replied, "Jake's in there watching over Magikarp, another one. By the way, somehow, Marco can translate what they say."
    "That, thing kissed me!" I said.
    "Mankey, Mank. Eee!" Mankey muttered.
    "You can't say that!" Marco yelled, "Do you realize Scholastic AND Game Freak could, could, could...Do something really bad to us! Like, like...fill the story with oxymorons!"
    "That is so stupid. They would never do something so trivial." I kindly insulted Marco.
    "He gets it from watching X-Files." Cassie loudly muttered.
    "Mankey?" Mankey wonderingly stated.
    "No, Rachel didn't like getting kissed." Marco replied, "And stop using that word. I can't believe this story didn't censor that."
    "How did they get here?" I murmered, energetically wearied from all the bad writing.
    "Well," Cassie began to sing, "In the not to distant past, just a half hour ago, Somone was playing Gameboy. That someone was Marco..."
    "Cassie" I said.
    "Yes?"
    "Shut up."
    Cassie stopped, and we went to see Jake.
    "Okay," Jake said when he saw me, "Enough of us are here. Marco, show us how it happened."
    Marco took his Gameboy and started playing.
    After a few tense minutes that would probably bore you, Jake asked, "Marco, what are you doing?"
    "I'm evolving my Kakuna." He replied.
    "WHAT?" I yelled, "That's such a waste of time!"
    "No it isn't. I want to make it to the Pokemon League." Marco explained. Then, the Gameboy started levitating.
    "This didn't happen when Weedle evolved." Marco stated.
    "Plot hole." Jake muttered.
    A red and white ball flew out, and hit Marco in his already bruised eye.
    "Marco, what is it?" Cassie asked. Marco threw it and it opened.
    "Beedrill." a Beedrill muttered.
    "Wow," I said, "Now what?"
    "I think we should find Ax." Jake said, and we all got up to leave. Marco picked up his Magikarp, while his Beedrill flew right behind him.
    "Why do we have to find Ax?" Marco asked, "He probably slept through the 'Stuck in a pathetic crossover with Gameboy Games' class anyway."
    "Mankey. Ee. Mank." Mankey said, whill clinging to one of my legs.
    "You are one sick Pig-Monkey," Marco replied to the Pokemon.

Chapter 3: Ax

"Pokemon, It's you and me. I know it's my destiny!" The television set sang out. I attempted to sing with it. That was a joke. Andalites can't sing. Laugh. Please? Okay, nevermind.< Pokemon, Oh your my best friend, In a world we must defend. > I thought-sang with the TV."< Pokemon. You're so true. Our courage will pull us through. You teach me and I teach you. Pokemooooooooon! Gotta catch 'em all! Gotta catch 'em all! Pokemon! >"
 This show Marco introduced me to is very informative. Until now, I never knew what a Pikachu was. I asked Marco if we could go look for one at the zoo, but he rolled his eyes. I believe this means, "I would rather watch
the cirrus formations above." When I tried to verify this with Marco, he rolled his eyes again.
 "Today we join our heroes as they are hiking through an unusual forest." The announcer explained.
 "Boy," Ash said, "This forest is sure unusual."
 "Pika pika." Pikachu agreed. I have never understood why Pikachu can only say his name. I asked Marco about this, but the cirrus formations must have been very interesting that day.
 "We're not lost again, are we?" Misty asked.
 "Hmm?" Brock said, holding his map, "Oh no. We're not lost. The next gym is obviously this way. Or is it this way? Maybe that way?"
 "We're lost." Misty muttered. Then the title began.
 "Pokemorphs #1: The Crossover!" Ash said. I had never seen this episode before.
 "Oh," Brock stated as soon as the title was over, "Look at that. I was holding the map upside-down the entire time. We've walked past the edges! Silly me."
 "What?" Ash and Misty yelled. I could almost hear their voices as if they were just a few feet away.
 "Pika-chu!" said Pikachu as he shocked Brock.
 "Hey," Misty said, pointing to some clearing, "What's that?" She was pointing at a large, blue, centaur-like creature with a scorpion-like tail.
 "I don't know," Ash said, "But I'm gonna catch it!"
 "Why do you have to always catch them?" asked Misty. They began one of their many arguments. Then, it was a commercial break. I turned around.
 "You always catch the Pokemon! You've gotten Muck, Butterfree, Primeape, Pidgeotto, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Pikachu!" Misty yelled.
 "Fine! Let's ask Brock!" Ash retorted. They turned to their still electrocuted friend.
 "Uhhh." Brock groaned.
 "See? Brock agrees with me." Misty stated.
 "Huh? Oh, fine." Ash replied.
 "Starmie, I choose you!" Misty yelled. A Staryu flew out.
 "Oops, wrong one." Misty said, blushing, "Starmie, I choose you!"
 "Psy-yi-yi." Psyduck groaned.
 "No! Psyduck, get back." Misty yelled. Psyduck just charged at me.
 < Fascinating. > I stated. Psyduck tripped and fell. Misty groaned. Then, I knealed over to look at it.
 "Psyduck!" Psyduck jumped up, accidentally hitting my stalk eyes with his head.
 < AAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH! > I said, falling over.
 "Go, Pokeball!" Misty yelled.
 "Not so fast!" A voice stated.
 "Who said that?" Ash asked.
 "Prepare for trouble." Jessie began.
 < Oh, shut up. > I muttered.
 "Who said that?" James shrieked, jumping into Jessie's arms.
 "Nevermind." Meowth muttered, "Let's just get that rare Pokemon!"
 "Right," James yelled, "Go, Weezing!"
 "That's not Weezing! It's a Voltorb!" Jessie screamed.
 "Voltorb." Voltorb said, and promptly self-destructed, sending Team Rocket towards the horizon.
 "Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Team Rocket yelled.
 "Anyway," Misty said, "Go, Pokeball!" I felt myself being sucked into the Pokeball, or whatever happens to Pokemon when they get caught. Then, I was trapped in a small sphere.
 < Let me out! I am an Andalite -uh- Prince! Yes! That's it. If you don't, I will send my -um- my troops to destroy you! > I threatened.
 "Who said that?" Misty's voice asked.
 "Uh," Ash stammered, "It c-c-came from the p-p-pokeball."
 "It's haunted!" Brock yelled. I felt a thud from my pokeball hitting the ground and began to wish that I could see some cirrus formations to roll my eyes at.

Chapter 4: (Tobias)

I eyed my hapless prey as it scrambled in futility to find some cover. I smiled in my mind and began to take the dive which would end the rabbit's existence.
 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Something flew by me and caused me to lose balance.
 WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Another object flew by and scared off my brunch. (I was in a classy mood. I planned to go all day without eating a rat or shrew.)
 WHOOOOOOOOO-WHAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 The last object hit me head on and grabbed me with it's claws.
 Claws?
 I looked up to see a very cat-like creature holding me. I don't like cats. I began to try to escape, but then we crashed. I looked at the other two objects. They were people, but how they survived practically unscathed is a
mystery. I also began to wonder how the boy got blue hair. Then, the cat held me tightly, so I could barely move.
 "We're such losers." The boy moaned, "We'll never get that Pikachu."
 "Shut up, James." Snarled the girl, "We just need a better plan."
 "You two goons had a plan?" The cat asked, "How 'bout next time, you get your Pokemon out of their Pokeballs?" Only, he said 'their' like 'dare.'
 "Meowth, do you have a better plan?" James asked.
 "Yep," Meowth retorted, "We capture dat rare Pokemon and Pikachu with dis Pokemon!" Meowth held me up by my neck. I was slightly upset, so I raked his face with my talons.
 "AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGZHZHZHZHZHZHZH!!!!!!!!" Meowth yelled.
Later, I would wonder how someone could say, "ZHZHZHZHZHZHZH" but then, I just wanted to escape. The two people were laughing.
 "You look like a scratching post!" James cackled. Meowth turned red and scratched the two of them in their faces.
 "Just get dat rare bird Pokemon!" Meowth yelled.
 "Weezing, go!" James yelled, throwing a red and white ball, which released something reminiscient of purple moons melted together.
 "Arbok, go!" the female yelled. Out of her ball came a huge cobra.
 "You said that with such flair, Jessie." James told her.
 "Well, I've been practicing." Jessie replied, blushing.
 "Will you two clowns stop clowning and get dat rare Pokemon?" Meowth yelled.
 This brought the two back to their senses, which was bad for me, since I couldn't find any decent thermals.
 "Weezing, Smokescreen!" James yelled, and the Weezing weezed out a ton of smoke. However, I found a thermal, and barely missed getting caught in it.
 Unfortunately, the Weezing followed me on the thermal, and hit me from behind.
< AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! > I
yelled as I fell from the sky into the smoke.
 "Who said that?" Jessie asked. They didn't know thought-speak. That was good.
 < Do not capture this mighty bird, or you shall endure great suffering. > I threatened.
 "It's a ghost!" James shrieked, jumping into Jessie's arms.
 "Get serious, you two," Meowth answered, "Dat bird ain't mighty. It must have been talkin' 'bout some othe' bird." Dang it, "Besides, dat voice sounds like a dweeb's."
 < Yeah, well you don't sound like John Wayne yourself. > I muttered.
 "Arbok, Wrap!" Jessie yelled. Out of nowhere, the snake wrapped it's coils around me.
 "Pokeball, go!" Jessie yelled.
 "Wait, how come you get to capture it?" James asked, before she through the Pokeball.
 "Because I'm the smart one!" Jessie replied.
 "But I'm the dreamer." James answered. The Arbok rolled it's eyes.
 "I'm more evil." Jessie retorted.
 "Are not."
 "Are too."
 "Are not."
 "Are too."
 "Are not."
 "Are too."
 "Shut up and capture it already!" Meowth yelled.
 Jessie threw her ball and I got sucked into it.
 I was trapped, so I just decided to take a nap in that little ball.

Chapter 5: (Cassie)

    By the time we got to Ax's scoop, Marco had evolved his Spearow, which rode on Marco's shoulder, Mankey had kissed Rachel three times, Rachel had hit Mankey twice, Jake dropped Magikarp once, but apologized and scratched it behind it's gills, and Beedrill had run into one tree while preventing normal bees from getting near the flowers we passed.
    We knew something was amiss when we couldn't hear Ax "singing" to the Pokerap, which, Marco assured us, was something sacriligious to him.
    Instead, we saw three kids and a yellow mouse hiding behind the rock.
    "Hello." Jake said. All four of the odd group jumped about ten feet in the air.
    "Pika...CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!" the mouse yelled, somehow sending an electric charge through the air and shocking us.
    "Unh." Jake said.
    "Unh." I agreed.
    "Ee." Mankee groaned, still trying to kiss Rachel.
    "Get off me you little freak!" said Rachel, kicking Mankee into the air. We watched until it disapeared.
    "Nice Pikachu." Marco told the kid in the hat.
    "Thanks, I'm Ash Ketchum. This is Brock and Misty." Ash said. We introduced ourselves.
    "Hey," Jake asked, handing me Magikarp, "Have you seen a big blue, centaur like creature with a scorpion like tail?"
    "Oh, ummmmmmmmmm..." Ash began.
    "He's haunting a perfectly good Pokeball of mine!" Misty yelled.
    "Ooooooooookay," Marco said, "That makes sense."
    Misty kicked him in the face.
    "I like her attitude," Rachel said, "Even if she thinks Ax is haunting her pokeball." Misty tried to kick Rachel, missed, then kicked Rachel with her third kick.
    "You'll have to excuse Misty." Brock said.
    "Yeah," Ash agreed, "She's a little nutty." I think we all know what happened to him. Fortunately, they were all
inexplicably healed within fifteen seconds.
    "Look," Jake said, trying not to offend Misty, "We just want Ax."
    "What? I'm not letting you take him!" Misty replied.
    "What? He's our friend." I said, "Besides, you won't use him, you'll just hide from him."
    "I'll do a Pokemon fight for him." Misty offered.
     I agreed.
    "You can use my Pokemon." Marco offered.
    "Go, Starmie!" Misty yelled, throwing forth an odd, starfish like creature.
    "Go, Magikarp!" I replied. Magikarp tried to Splash around in the grass while Starmie tackled it.
    "Can't Magikarp do anything?" Rachel asked.
    "Only Splash, which doesn't affect any Pokemon." Marco said.
    "It's worthless!" Rachel yelled, running onto our makeshift Pokemon stadium and kicked Magikarp into a nearby stream.
    Suddenly, we heard a distant, "Mankee!" We looked up. A small speck slowly got bigger, until we could easily make out Mankee's terrified face.
    Eventually, Mankee landed. On Starmie.
    "That's not fair!" complained Misty. Then, we all turned back to Magikarp, who was glowing.
    "What's going on?" Jake asked.
    "Magikarp is evolving." Brock explained.
    "Uh oh." Ash muttered.
    "Pika-pi." Pikachu agreed.

Chapter 6: (Jake)

    Magikarp suddenly grew from about 3 feet long to about 21 and a half feet long. It was big and vicious and Marco's Fearow, which until this point had eyed Magikarp hungrily, was hiding behind Marco and myself who were hiding behind Cassie, who in turn was hiding behind a rock. (Beedrill was hiding behind Fearow, while Rachel was standing in plain sight. Mankey was terribly distressed, trying to decide whether to hide, or try to kiss Rachel again.)
    "What is that thing?" asked Cassie to Brock, Ash, and a sullen Misty. (They were hiding behind Beedrill, while Pikachu was hiding behind them, since everyone knows we can't have the cutest Pokemon get hurt.)
    Ash pulled out a little red thing that looked like a high-tech calculator.
    "Gyarados," It said, "A large, dragon Pokemon. Very powerful and mean. It likes to use Dragon Rage, Hydro Pump, and Hyper Beam to pummel helpless opponents who kicked it while it was just a Magikarp."
    "Informative." Marco stated.
    "Gyarrrra." Roared Gyarados. (Though it sounded more like a "Grrrraah.")
    "It's powering up to perform Hyper Beam." Brock explained.
    "I thought all it needed to do was recharge afterwards." Marco replied.
    "It's just common myth." Brock answered.
    "Any decent trainer knows that." Ash said, acting very high and mighty towards Marco. However, that stopped win Beedrill, Fearow, and Mankey -who decided kissing Rachel wasn't worth upsetting
Gyarados- all beat up on Ash rather severely. (All three were very loyal, despite having various odd quirks.)
    Just then, Gyarados shot a Hyper Beam (or something) out of it's mouth at Rachel. When the dust settled, -I always wanted to say that- Rachel lay on the ground, slightly burnt around the edges, twitching spasmodically -I
always wanted to say that, too-. Mankey ran up to her, but before he could kissher, she shot out a hand,
grabbed it by it's pig nose, and threw it back to us. (Fortunately, it didn't decide to evolve.)
    Then, Pikachu got annoyed with Fearow and Beedrill beating up Ash, and tried to shock them. It missed. Instead, it hit the rock which was our cover.
    The rock exploded. (This shocked Beedrill so much, it fainted, and Fearow flew back behind Marco and I, so it wasn't a total loss for Pikachu, since you can't beat up on someone when you've faintedor are hiding.)
    Gyarados could finally see the rest of us. It stared at us with eyes that were practically a light-reddish-orange with fury. It was clearly deciding which way to fry us. Then, it lay it's head down beside Marco and I with an
imploring grin.
    "I think it wants us to scratch it behind it's gills." I muttered.
    "Of course it does," Marco replied sarcastically, while scratching, "That's what I thought the first time I saw it after it evolved. I thought, "Gee what a sweet little creature. I bet it wants to be scratched behind it's gills."
    "How come Gyarados didn't fry them?" Misty asked, stupefied at Gyarados's behavior. (She had forgotten about Starmie, which just recovered from Mankey falling on it.)
    "Gyarados remembered Jake and Marco treating him kindly as a Magikarp. He trusts them." Brock replied.
    "I think we've gotten our quota of sappiness for today." Marco cracked.
    "Not with that Pikachu here." Cassie replied, walking up to us.
    "Pika! Pika!" Pikachu said, (Easily doubling the sappiness so far.)
    However, this brought Gyarados's attention towards Ash's group. I can't explain, what he did (Although later Marco assured me it was Hydro Pump.) but when it was over, all four were completely soaked and Starmie had
fainted.
    "I won." Cassie stated.
    "Huh?" Misty wearily asked.
    "Your Starmie fainted. We get Ash." Cassie explained. Misty consented, under the watchful eye of Gyarados, and gave us the Pokeball.
    "Who wants a stupid old haunted Andalice, or whatever, anyway?" She muttered.
    We released Ax. Marco made a joke about Ax being Cassie's Pokemon. Ax threatened to remove the arm of anyone who tries to put him in another Pokeball. Then, we decided to go into town. I felt compelled to state
people would notice the Pokemon we had, but figured it was another plot hole and forgot about it.

Intermission: (Omniscient 3rd Person)

    There was finally some light in the Crayak's abode. This was all LLTB's doing. They had to have light to see their tux's, he explained, how else were they going to successfully fidget?
    "I can't believe you talked me into this." The Crayak said as he successfully fidgeted with his bow tie.
    "It'll be good for you." LLTB told the Crayak, "When was the last time you went on a date?"
    "During the Spanish Inquisition," The Crayak replied, "Or was that the Crusades? I keep mixing the two up. Who are we double dating with again?"
    Suddenly, in an effort to build up the drama, the doorbell rang. (It had been a soap opera character previously, and, while this was a step up, old habits, such as doing things suddenly to build the drama, die hard.)
    LLTB rushed to the door. He opened it and greeted the two dates. The Crayak rushed out, extremely nervous. He stared at the dates.
    "I'm dating the Ellimist?" He said. Now he was extremely embarrassed. He always thought the Ellimist was a guy. Well, he thought, at least I know why this whole thing started. (It didn't start the way the Ellimist told the Animorphs. The Ellimist used to be a soap opera star too, and felt the real tale was too dull. What really
happened is when the Crayak moved in, the Ellimist came over to welcome him into the community, but was highly offended when the Crayak kept asking her to watch Baywatch with him.)
    "Actually, Crayak," LLTB stated, "I'm dating Ellimist. You get LLTS. Ellimist's Long Lost Twin Sister."
    The Crayak breathed an unnoticable sigh of relief and escorted LLTS out the door, right behind LLTB & the Ellimist. You know, he thought, staring at the Ellimist's backless dress, she's kind of cute

Chapter 7: (Cassie)

    Ax morphed human as we went to the bus. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu took this rather well. (The burns Ax got from Pikachu were only third degree.) I convinced Marco to put his Pokemon in their Pokeballs before we left. Gyarados and Beedrill went quietly, but Fearow began weeping uncontrollably and Mankey was trying to permanently attach itself to Rachel's leg. Rachel then kicked it into Jake's face. (For a few moments, Mankey thought Jake was Rachel. I will not elaborate on that scene.) The real problem developed when we tried to convince Ash to put Pikachu in a Pokeball. Ash insisted that nobody would mind, while we insisted that
people probably would notice an electric mouse and Ash shouldn't draw attention to himself. Finally, we reached an agreement.
    "This is the stupidest plan ever." Jake muttered as we got on the bus.
    "It is not. I thought of it." Ash retorted.
    "Case in point." Marco agreed.
    "Pmkuh pmkuh." Said an irate Pikachu from within Jake's backpack.
    "Where's the local Pokecenter?" Misty asked the driver as she boarded the bus.
    "What the heck you talking 'bout?" The driver said.
    "These people don't have a Pokecenter." Misty whispered to Brock, just loud enough for me to hear.
    "Must be a hick town." Brock whispered back. Then, they took their seats.
    "Uhhh, Marco," I said, "That lady is staring at your Pokeballs."
    "Cassie, I can't believe you said that." Marco answered, "You never know when little Jimmy may be surfing the great big net, then stumble onto some Fantastic Page by a writer using Ax's mother's name. He may decide to go to the fanfic section to improve his reading skills. Then he may decide to read a story by a Gremlin because it looks odd. That would eventually bring him to your comment, which would horribly scar his precious naive mind for life. So I ask, nay, I implore you, do not scar little Jimmy."
    "Marco," Rachel said, "Where is your Gameboy?"
    "Huh? Oh, right here in my pocket." Marco took it out and started to play it again.
    "Marco, we're in a public place. Don't capture any Pokemon." Jake advised.
    "Come on, that would ruin any plot development." Marco replied.
    "There's a plot?" I asked.
    "Marco..." Jake began.
    "Yeah yeah, don't capture any - HAUNTER, EAT POKEBALLS!!!!" Marco yelled.
    "I believe beeee leev Marco is becoming slightly infatuated fatch-oo-ate-ed with his game." Ax stated.
    "Yes, just slightly." Rachel muttered sarcastically, rolling her eyes.
    "There are no cirrus seer-us clouds above." Ax commented.
    Just then, the Gameboy began to levitate. The lady practically fainted and started using her cell phone. WHAP! The Pokeball hit Marco in the eye right about the time the bus driver stopped the bus.
    "Get out o' here!" bus driver ordered. He opened the bus door. In walked a round, pink Pokemon.
    "It is a Jigglypuff." Ax stated, to shocked to repeat his words.
    "Uh oh." Ash stated, "We'd better leave."
    Before anything else could happen, though, Marco kicked the Jigglypuff on his way out, which bounced off several walls before landing on Jake's backpack.
    "Pmkuh-chuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Pikachu yelled from within the backpack. Ash unzipped it.
    "Sorry, Pikachu. You were almost removed from the story." Ash told the Pokemon.
    "Too bad." Rachel muttered.
    I looked outside. Half a dozen people held Marco and dragged him into a car. Chapman's car. However, everyone on the bus was staring at Pikachu and Jigglypuff.
    "Let's go!" Jake yelled.
    Then, Jigglypuff shook it's head. Ash, Brock, Ax, and Rachel ran off the bus, and took off after the car. Jake, Misty, and I were right behind them when we heard something.
    "Jigglypuff. Jigglypuuuuuuuuuff." Jigglypuff sang. I couldn't keep my eyes open. The bus driver shut the bus door and fell asleep. The lady with the cell phone fell asleep, too. I laid down in an aisle next to Jake. Misty
was already snoring.
    "Jigglypuff." Jigglypuff kept singing. Soon, the entire bus was asleep.

Chapter 8: (Tobias)

    Team Rocket let me out for a little while. They were watching the news. I was making some bold and daring plan to escape, just as soon as I finished, uh, sharpening my beak.
    "So whatever you do, keep off of the freeway, where a bus has stopped and is blocking two lanes of traffic. That's it for the traffic report, back to you, Todd."
    "Thanks, Jim. After these messages, Pokecenters are springing up out of nowhere, people are being inexplicably cured within fifteen seconds of grievous injuries, and creatures resembling Pokemon are being spotted all over. Is this world turning into an anime show, or is it just some really bad writing by some kid on a computer with no life?"
    Meowth turned off the TV.
    "I bet dows Pokemon are comin' from dat TV dat rare one had." He stated.
    "So?" Jessie asked.
    "Don't you two fools git it? What if some rare Pokemon like Dratini comes out?" Meowth asked.
    "We'll be promoted!" Jessie said.
    "We'll be head honchos!" James agreed.
    "And I'll git rid o' dat annoying Persian." Meowth stated happily, "Man da hot air ballon."
    Jessie and James inflated a huge hot air ballon shaped like Meowth's head.
    "Git dat bird, too." Meowth said. James grabbed me by my talons and took me into the hot air balloon.
    Later, we arrived at Ax's scoop. Nobody was home.
    "Nobody's home," Jessie stated, "These disguises were all for nothing."
    Jessie and James got out of a horrible Andalite disguise. Then, we watched the TV.
    "So far, all da Pokemon up to Nidorans have gotten out." Meowth stated.
    A male Nidoran jumped out of the TV. It ran off. Then, a female jumped out. Pretty soon, about ten males and eight females had jumped out.
    "This is taking forever!" James exclaimed. He whacked the TV. It started to shake.
    "Whad did you do?!" Meowth yelled.
    All three of them started running. I flew to the top of a nearby tree.
    "The Nidorans are coming! The Nidorans are coming!" James yelled over and over.
    BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! The TV exploded, and hundreds of Nidorans, Nidorinas, Nidorinos, Nidokings, and Nidoqueens practically flew out, followed by every other Pokemon in existence.
    Oh boy, I thought.

Chapter 9: (Marco)

The Controllers had thrown me into the trunk, but I still had my GameBoy. I started playing using the sound and memory. I beat six gym leaders as well as my rival. Then, I decided to head off to the power plant. I heard a sound that let me know I encountered a wild Electabuzz. I smiled, lowered it's hit points, and caught it. The Gameboy glowed, and shot out another Pokeball. It hit me in my eye. I turned it off as I heard the trunk unlock. Several men came and took me down into the Yeerk pool. Then into a new area with a sign that said Visser 3's
personal quarters. I was nervous, but had faith that the author would keep in mind little Jimmy.
 I heard a toilet flush and Visser Three walked out of a room.
 < Greetings, > He stated.
 "Hi."
 < Do you know why I brought you here? >
 "No."
 
 "Shouldn't you bring someone with a tail?"
 < With my Pokemon. >
 "Huh?" I asked. Visser Three pushed a button, and the room turned into a Pokemon Stadium.
 < Let's play. >

    *!@%$#^&* ERROR ERROR! #$&(*&^@!$^
    Due to the hacking skills of LLTG, (Long Lost Twin Gremlin) LLTG has sabotaged this fight scene. It will now be done in opera, so picture every character singing with a huge orchestra and chorus to back them up.
    Thank you,
                    LLTG

Chapter 9.5: (Opera fight scene.)

Marco: If you say so, Visser 3,
I shall let you fight with me.
I choose Haunter as my Pokemon
And he shall beat you, for he's strong.

Visser 3: My Pokemon shall cause you surprise
As well as causing Haunter's demise.
I will choose my Clefairy
Who's just as vicious as can be.

Marco: Your Clefairy's extremely cute,
But I found on the ground a PokeFlute.
And I attack with Hypnosis
Clefairy's asleep you little priss.

Visser 3: I do not like your insulting mood
and soon I will beat you for good,
but Clefairy is not awake.
I can't attack for goodness sake!

Marco: Eat Clefairy's dreams, Haunter
And when your done, eat it's dreams some more.
Yes, now Clefairy has fainted.
I beat your Pokemon, stupid-head.

Visser 3: My head is not stupid, you know.
I send out my Diglett, Diglett go!
He'll beat your Haunter easily
This is what happens when you fight with me.

Marco: Haunter return to my Pokeball,
Stop hiding behind me and the wall.
I send out my Gyarados
Hyper Beam that Diglett into toast.

Visser 3: My Diglett's just been burnt and now faints.
I must choose a new Pokemon, curse the saints.
That was really bad of me to say
But I'll send out my Sandshrew anyway.

Marco: Return, Gyarados, and good job.
Now go Fearow and beat that slob.
Use your Drill Peck! I'm so happy!
For now your Sandshrew's ready to flee.

Visser 3: You've beaten me enough, I say.
We can fight another day.
This singing is causing my voice to go "blah"
Now let's work together to stop this opera.

Marco: Okay, Visser 3, we'll join sides
I'll send out my Pokemon, LLTG had better hide.
Seek out the freak and bring him here.
Soon we'll make him know fear.

Visser 3: Here they come with LLTG,
Who's weeping hysterically

LLTG: Okay, I'll stop this opera scene now.
I didn't like it anyhow.

!$^#!&^$@#& ERROR UNDONE ^(*&!$@%

Chapter 9.99 (Marco)

I had Gyarados eat up LLTG. Gyarados was happy to oblige. I looked at Visser 3.
 "Uhh, your Sandshrew must have been tough to survive Drill Peck." I said.
 < Thank you. > Visser 3 replied, 
 We walked off and began to chat about Pokemon.

Chapter 10: (Ax)

We were walking down a huge staircase. I was in Andalite form, and Rachel was in the lead.
 "Uhhh, are you sure we're going down the right staircase?" Ash asked.
 "Of course I'm sure." Rachel replied, "Do I look stupid?"
 We finally got to the bottom. There was a small door on the left.
 "Who's going to open that door?" Brock asked.
 Rachel took one step forward. She took a deep breath, did a few other clicheic things for tension. Finally, she opened the door.
 A geeky little green creature sat huddled over the computer. He turned to us.
 "Shut the door, your letting all the good writing out." He stated.
 "Now does Rachel look stupid?" Ash asked me.
 Rachel calmly responded by giving Ash a mild concussion.
 "We should try to make contact with it." Brock said. I nodded.
 < Who are you? > I asked him.
 "I'm Gremlin. The author." The hideous little freak stated.
 "Hey," Ash yelled, "This isn't a self-insertion fic!"
 "It is now." Gremlin replied, "Come on, let's meet Marco and wrap this thing
up."
 "How will we get there?" Questioned Brock.
 "I'll make a few plot holes." Gremlin stated. He opened a door. Millions of Nidorans emptied out.
 "Oops, wrong plot hole." Gremlin muttered.
 I looked through the pile of Nidorans. Suddenly, Team Rocket jumped up.
 They began to say their motto, but Gremlin deleted it.
 "It's annoying." He explained. He deleted most of what was said after that too, but that was just to keep the rating PG.
 Suddenly, Rachel noticed Tobias laying there. She grabbed him.
 "Oh, Tobias..." She began. However, Gremlin opened the correct plot hole this time, and we went through.
 < Hey, > Tobias muttered, 
 "Ask Forlay to finish it." Gremlin retorted, "I don't go for those types of things."
 Tobias hissed.
 "Am not." Came Gremlin's answer. Once again, I began wishing for cirrus clouds to roll above my eyes.

Chapter 11: (Jake)

    Misty, Cassie, and I woke up much later, with marker all over our faces. We all got off the bus to much screaming and profanity by the cars we had blocked. Ahh, the joys of America. We began to look for a ride to the nearest Yeerk pool entrance.
    "Erek?" Cassie asked. I looked at one of the cars. It was definately Erek.
    "What are you doing here?" I asked him.
    "Well," Erek responded, "I thought, 'If all those other mionor Animorph characters and that annoying Jigglypuff get to make cameos, why can't I?'"
    The three of us got into Erek's car.
    "Can you drive?" Misty asked him.
    "Nope."
    He slammed the gas and we took off, while all the other traffic fell into the plot holes that covered the place.
    "Look out!" Misty yelled, "You're going to hit Officer -"
    WHUMP!!!!!!!!
    "Jenny."
    "Oops." Erek muttered. Fortunately, Officer Jenny was basically fine.
    Pretty soon, we ended up at the Yeerk Pool entrance. We got out and went to down the stairs. Once we got to the bottom, we heard some knocking. We looked around, and opened up a broom closet. Some ugly green guy fell out.
    "Okay, I am sick of the ugly green thing comments." It muttered, "I wish I was one of those VIWs DMP talks about. Next time, I'll leave the self-insertion to her." He looked at me.
    "Is this the Yeerk Pool?" It asked.
    I nodded.
    "You guys, I found the right plot hole! Come on through." It yelled.
    All the other Animorphs walked through.
    "Took long enough," grumbled Rachel, "That stupid Gremlin nearly got us stuck in Seinfeld with one of his plot holes.
    "Oh, hi, Jake."
    After all of us were reunited, we exchanged stories.
    "Okay," I muttered once we were done, "Let's get Marco."

Chapter 12: (Rachel)

We started walking around the Yeerk pool. Gremlin told us he would take out any battles we had here so we could advance the plot easier.
 Finally, we found the door leading to Visser 3's personal quarters. Slowly, I opened the door.
 "Sssho then," Marco slurred, "I tells him, I says, 'No, my other Electra-Eleshta- Pokemon 185."
 Both Marco and Visser 3 started laughing. Visser 3 laughed so hard he slipped and hit his head on some bar stool. This just made them laugh harder.
 "Are you guys drunk?" Cassie asked them. Marco looked at us suddenly.
 "No, we just had a little to much Mountain Dew." He replied.
 "This is just too weird." Gremlin muttered, "Why did I start this anyway?"
 He walked over to a wall and started hitting his head against it, "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!"
 I just turned towards the Visser. "Okay, buddy time to die!" I told him.
 < Wait, just a second. > Visser 3 muttered, 
 "Okay," Jake stated, "Anim-"
 < Wait, > Visser 3 muttered, 
 "No." Gremlin answered, "And who wrote that dialogue up there anyway? Okay, just forget it. In every fan-fic, some character acts against his, uh, character. Visser 3, just defect so I can finish this story."
 < Huh? Oh sure, I defect. Anybody for some Mountain Dew? >
 "Wait!" I yelled, "Where's the big fight scene?"
 "Oh you missed it." Marco told me.
 "Looks like this story's done." Ash muttered.
 "Pika. Pika." Pikachu agreed.
 "No it isn't!" I yelled, "There hasn't even been a character death! We can't end this without a character death."
Suddenly, an anvil fell on Pikachu. Followed by a safe, boulder, ship, airplane, and the Hindenburg. We all looked to the corner where an oddly familiar rabbit, duck, and coyote were standing.
 "Ain't we some stinkas?" The rabbit stated, "Eh, what's up doc?"
 "Just what I need," Gremlin muttered, "A triple crossover self-insertion. Every fanfic author in the universe will tar and feather me for this one."
 "Hey, Bugs," the duck yelled, "I liked Pikachu."
 Suddenly, a shadow covered the duck. He knew what was coming. He just looked at Bugs, and said, "You're despicable."

Epilogue: (Third Person)

    "So, I said, 'those aren't his pants.'" LLTB told the others. LLTS was practically rolling on the with laughter. The Ellimist and The Crayak were ready to die from boredom.
    "So," The Cayak said to Ellimist, trying to make conversation, "You're a girl."
    "I sure hope so." Ellimist replied, "Otherwise my parents would have some explaining to do."
    "Well, would you like to dance?" Crayak asked.
    She shook her head.
    Dang it, thought Crayak, stupid.
    Suddenly, the waiter appeared. "Sir, a message." He said, handing a slip of paper to Crayak.
It read:

Bud, I want to finish this mistake of a fanfic as soon as possible. Just kiss Ellimist already.

Sincerely,
Gremlin, The Author.

Crayak looked up at Ellimist.
"Get your Scope." He told her.

The End.
