Ash was in a panick. How? He thought. How can I be a pokemon? What happened? The last thing I rember seeing is that ray gun and jumping in front... [Surely that couldn't have anything to do with my current situation!!] the gun. Their secret weapon. Misty? Brock? Were they turned into pokemon too? [No, Ash. Not everyone shares your enjoyment of running into the line of fire waving your arms around like a dumbass...] Pikachu where was he?

"Hey did you change Misty and Brock into pokemon? Where is Pikachu?" Ash asked in pokemon. [Ash. Master of subtlety.]

"No we didn't change your friends into pokemon. And Pikachu is in the cage next to you." Meowth answered. [Seriously?!]

In all of Ash's panick Ash had overlooked the cage that was right next to him. []

"Pikachu!" Ash said happily. Pikachu rasied it's head and stared at him.

"Don't you rember me? I'm Ash!"

Pikachu nodded its head and then spoke, "I know, but I just can't belive it. You don't look like Ash, but you wear his hat." [You mean it's easier to believe he's Ash because of a hat? Come on, Pikachu. ]

"Pikachu, I think I have an idea on getting out of here. But I can't tell you just yet, Meowth might be listening. But I will take care of that. Just watch. Hey Meowth," Ash called. [I don't like where this is going.]

"What?" Meowth replied. He didn't hear a word they had said. He was to buzy shinying his charm. [Whew. Good thing too. We wouldn't want to have more conflict would we?]

"Come here for a moment." Ash said slyly. If he is now a Pikachu than he must have Pikachu's attacks. [It would probably have made it more interesting if he didn't.]

As soon as Meowth touched Ash's cage, [Seriously, Meowth?] Ash used his biggest thunder bolt [You know... one of the ones he had lying around for a rainy day] while holding on to one of the bars.

"PIKACHU!" Ash said thunder shocking Meowth.

"AHHH!" Meowth screamed then he fainted. [I'm sorry Meowth... If you're going to be that stupid, you deserve it.]

"Now we can talk." Ash smiled. [And Jessie and James don't even notice...]

Back on the ground, [We were in the air? What? Then how didn't Jessie and James notice Meowth getting shocked?] Misty was pacing back and forth, and Brock was tring to calm her down.

"Uh, what is Team Rocket doing to them?" Misty asked.

"I sent Golbat looking for them. We will find them. Don't worry," Brock said.

Just then Golbat came back bearing news. He had found Ash and Pikachu. They had landed in open area not far from where they were standing. "Oh I hope they are all right," Misty cried.

Not far away Meowth, James, and Jessie woke.

"Hey the Pikachu are gone!" Meowth yelled.

"That dumb Pikachu. Human or Pokemon he still gets me mad. He hit me with his cage door," Jessie cried.

"At least you didn't get thunder shocked by the real Pikachu!" James said.

"Hey!" Brock yelled, "We want our Pikachus back!"

"We don't have them." James yelled back. ["Oh," Brock said. "...Sorry for bothering you then."]

"Ya right! We don't belive you!" Misty laughted. [Wishful thinking on my part.]

"Cheak the cages we don't have them. They ran off somewhere," Meowth defened.

[Next time, Pikachu will spend an afternoon hanging out with a log because Ash had left his hat resting on it. And while searching for the pikachu, Meowth will fall out of the hot air balloon. Despite that he screamed as he hurtled to his death, Jessie and James won't notice his absence until they reach the next town.]
