	=====Pokemon HAHAHAHAHA!=====
	=====By A-kun=====
	=====Chapter 5: The Trap!=====

	"So, how was the Gym?" Misty asked.
	"Sort of easy.  But I saw Ben's name up on the victors list." Ash answered, reclining on his bed.
	"Really?  Wow.  So, what's next?" Misty asked.
	"Probably the Cerulean City Gym.  Pikachu should be tough enough to take on water pokemon." Ash commented.
	Misty sighed.
	[Can't tell him yet.] Misty thought to herself.
	"Um, I hope you don't mind me sleeping in your bed." Misty said, sitting down on Ash's bed.
	"Why?" Ash asked.
	Misty pointed over at Shelly, who was already sleeping on the other bed with her pokemon taking up the rest of the room on the mattress.
	"Uh.... I guess it would be okay." Ash said, blushing as he turned over and tried to huddle up on as little of the bed as he could.  Misty had the same idea.
	Pikachu watched this exchanged from the floor.  She rolled her eyes and sighed a heavy "Piiiikaaaa..."
	"Pika?" came the call from Zappy.
	"Pika?" Pikachu asked.
	"Pikachu!"
	Zappy hopped off the bed to stand in front of Pikachu.  Pikachu was surprised to be caught in a hug.
	"Pika pika!"
	Zappy released Pikachu.
	"Chu?"
	"Pikaaachu!  Pi pika chu pika chu pika pika!"
	"Chu?!"
	"Piiiikaaaaaaa!"
	The conversation went somewhat like this for about a minute and a half before Zappy winked at Pikachu and hopping back up onto the bed with Shelly.  Ash suddenly felt Pikachu cowering against him.
	"Pikachu?" Ash asked in a low tone.
	"Piiii...." Pikachu answered.
	"What's up?" Ash asked in the same low tone as before.
	Pikachu pointed at Zappy, then swirled a hand over one ear.
	"I feel the same way about her owner." Ash murmurred to Pikachu.
	"Piiii?" Pikachu asked.
	"Fine, fine.  Lay between us." Ash whispered to Pikachu.
	Pikachu climbed over Ash and laid down between Misty and Ash.  Ash found himself humming along to the snoring concert in the next bed.  The snores of the four sleeping pokemon and Shelly made for an interesting musical piece.  He grabbed his Pokedex out of his bag and set it to recording the snores.  He felt like snapping his fingers to the rhythm, but felt it might ruin the beat.

	In the forest outside of Pewter City, Ben, Jessie, Fox and company were all eating.  Hawk and Pen-Pen were busy eating a Magikarp they had caught together.  Shamrock was drinking the water from a nearby pond.  Ben, Jessie, Fox, Mason, Jessy, Bambi and Flare (Jessie's new Charmander) were all eating soup.  HardRock and StoneMan, the Geodudes they had caught on the way up Mt. Moon, were snoozing.
	"So, how easy do you think defeating the next Gym will be?" Jessie asked.
	"Well, the Gyms that's going to be the toughest are at Fuschia and Celadon.  Any pokemon that can use poison is going to be trouble.  This next Gym'll be a cinch for my Pokemon.  Your pokemon, however, are going to be in a slight bit of trouble." Ben began.
	"Why my pokemon?" Jessie asked.
	"Shamrock has an advantage, being a Grass Pokemon, she'll go through Water Pokemon like they were made of cheap tissue paper.  None of your current Pokemon have that kind of advantage.  Maybe if Hawk evolved into a Fearow.... wait, we still have time to get you a Grass or an Electric Pokemon.  Once we get you one of those, the next gym'll be a cinch for you too." Ben commented.
	"Actually, aren't my pokemon going to be tougher?  After all, they've been working harder.  Your pokemon are going to get soft if you just keep using the advantages they have against the Gym." Jessie answered.
	"..................... Damn, you're right.  How stupid could I be?  I've been getting too thick in the head to realize that I've been excercising Shamrock too much.  Bambi, Pen-Pen, HardRock, they've been sitting on the sidelines too long.  Man, thanks Jessie.  I don't know what I'd do if you hadn't been here." Ben said.
	"No problem.  What are friends for?" Jessie asked.
	"MEOWTH!  Dat's right!" Fox declared.
	"Say, how _do_ Pokemon talk to other Pokemon?" Ben asked.
	"Uh, uuuuuh, No speake Englishe! No sprechen sie deutsch! Ich bin ein Eggo Waffles! MEOWTH!" Fox yelped, leaping for cover as Ben gave Fox the "Look of Death" (tm).

	"I never noticed how incredibly dull Gray can look." Ash commented as he noticed that the entire room was gray.  The only thing that showed him what was separate from what was that somethings, such as the pillows and the blanket were different shades of gray.
	"You too?" Misty responded, surprising Ash as he hadn't expected her to be awake.
	Then, he looked to see where she was and nearly leaped out of bed.  She had been laying next to him within a handspan, and he hadn't even noticed.  Thankfully, they were laying on their backs and not in a more embarrassing position.  Their hands were touching, causing Ash to blush intensely, despite the fact that in about six to ten years, the act would be only considered a romantic gesture.
	He had been around girls before, being around girls was no big deal, but all of the ones he knew had been a lot older than him.  Misty was his age.  If anyone were to see them now, they'd probably say something like, "Oh, what a cute couple."
	Pikachu heard the duo talking, made a disgruntled "Piiii." and rolled over, resettling on the blanket.  Ash noted that the yellow Pokemon was now on the other side of Misty.
	"Hey, have you ever noticed how the towns around here are named after colors?" Misty asked.
	Ash paused.  Viridian, Pewter, Cerulean, Vermilion, Fuschia, Lavender, Cinnabar, Saffron.  Indigo Plateau.  Even his home town was a bad pun.  Pallet.
	"That's weird." Ash commented.

	"Jerks!  I'll see that they get theirs!" Greg snarled, marching through the forest and wishing he hadn't sent his butler home.  He could've forced his butler to train the Charmander up into a Charmeleon, then try taking on the Pewter Gym, but he had already given up on the Charmander.
	Greg angrily swatted a branch out of his way.  His uncle wouldn't care anyway.  It was just a reminder that he nearly flunked the test.  The only way he was going to start out on the right foot was to get a free pokemon from his uncle.  He kept marching until he ran into something.  Or rather, someone.  Greg, being the smaller and weaker of the two boys, fell on his butt.
	"Hey, watch where you're going, dipwad!" Greg growled, getting back up.
	The larger boy didn't apologize or even show any sign that he gave a damn.
	"You want revenge on that brown-haired boy named Ben and that red-haired girl?" the larger boy asked.
	Greg's eyes narrowed suspiciously.
	"Maybe.  What's in it for me?" Greg replied.
	The larger boy laughed.
	"Revenge, an unlimited amount of pokemon and freedom from the law.  Sound good?" the larger boy inquired.
	Greg smiled evilly.
	"Yeah." Greg answered.
	"Welcome to Team Rocket." the larger boy responded, shaking Greg's hand.

	"OOOORRT OOOORRT-OOOORRT OOOORRT-OOOORRT OOOORRT-OOOORRT-OOOOOOOORRRRRRRR!" Hawk cried as dawn broke.  It prepared to cry again, much like it's rooster ancestors.
	"OOOORRT-OOOORRT-AWWWK!" Hawk yelped as a stone struck it on the head.
	"Charrrrrmaaaaannnderrrr...." Flare growled, returning to it's slumber.
	"Good boy." Fox, Jessie and Ben murmurred in unison.

	"So, what do you wanna do today?" Misty asked as the group left the hotel.
	"Let's do something fun!" Shelly suggested.
	"What IS there to do in Pewter City?" Ash asked.
	"We could go visit the Pokemon Museum.  I heard there's a new exhibit that's been startling scientists." Misty commented.
	"'kay!" Shelly cheered.
	"They probably won't let Pokemon in unless they're in pokeballs, though." Misty commented.
	"Yeah.  Not many cities like to see pokemon running free." Ash said, frowning.
	"Well, we can't help it." Misty answered.

	Jessie yawned and stretched.  Ben yawned as well.  They had broken camp early in the attempt to get to Mt. Moon earlier.
	"How much further?" Jessie asked.
	"Should be about anothah hour or so." Fox answered as they continued walking down the path through the meadow.
	"Talk about a tiring night." Ben grumbled.
	Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of them. (cue the dramatic music)
	"Prepare for trouble."
	"And make it double."
	"No way." Jessie said, her eyes widening.
	"Greg..." Ben growled, seeing Greg in a Team Rocket outfit similiar to James'.
	"To protect the world from devastation."
	"To unite all peoples within our nation."
	"To denounce the evils of Truth and Love."
	"To extend our reach to the stars above."
	"GREG!"
	"JAMES!"
	"Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light!"
	"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
	"SCYTHER!  That'sss right." a Scyther declared landed between the two boys and adjusting it's sharp claws to increase how menacing it looked.
	"MEOWTH!  Oh no!  I don't like da looks of dose claws..." Fox yelped.
	"Hello, Jessie." James said, sneering.
	"James." Jessie answered.
	"What's the matter?  You seem UNHAPPY to see your old partner." James commented, sneering more.
	"Yes.  It's because you're still using that loser spiel.  We've got a better one." Jessie answered.
	"Prepare to lose."
	"And suck down some cheap booze."
	"To crush fools beneath our feet."
	"To sound the bell of Team Rocket's defeat."
	"To protect the purity of Truth and Love."
	"To show off these flashy gloves."
	"JESSIE!"
	"BEN!"
	"Team Lightning beating out Team Rocket's pace."
	"Surrender now or lose your parking space."
	"MEOWTH! Dis is stupid." Meowth finished.
	"Time to show those fools what Team Rocket does to those who interfere in it's plans." James said, drawing a pokeball from his belt.
	"Time to have donuts with sprinkles on 'em.... mmmmm, donuts.... uh, I mean time to show these losers that the good guys always win." Ben said, drawing a pokeball from his belt.
	Greg and Jessie pulled out their own pokeballs.
	"MASON!" Jessie called.
	"BAMBI!" Ben yelled.
	"ELECTRODE!" Greg and James declared.
	Ben and Jessie quickly withdrew their pokemon and began backing off at the sight of the two large sphere pokemon.  The sphere pokemon began rolling towards the trio.  Fox, Ben and Jessie turned and ran into the grass, out of the way.  The Electrodes rolled past and down the slope that Jessie, Ben and Foz had just finished walking up before Team Rocket appeared.  The Scyther growled in frustration.
	"Idiotsss.  Never put sssphere pokemon at the top of a ssslope! SCYTHER!" Scyther growled.
	"Well, maybe if you had WARNED us that Electrodes were useless on uneven ground..." Greg began.
	The newest combination team from Team Rocket began arguing.
	"Time to show these schmucks who's in charge." Ben commented.
	"Yeah." Jessie said, smiling.
	*BOOM* *BOOM*
	"NOW look what they did!  They got mad and ssself-dessstructed!" Scyther snarled.
	"Pen-Pen, Whirlwind attack!" Ben commanded, letting Pen-Pen loose.
	The Pidgeotto obeyed, sending a huge gust of wind at the arguing team.  The group was sucked up in the whirlwind and sent flying off into the distance.
	"What morons." Meowth commented.

	Meanwhile, at the Pewter city museum, Ash, Shelly, Misty and their pokemon were being lead around by a tour guide that had bright red hair that seemed to fountain backwards to resemble really sharp and straight claws.  Ash was almost afraid to get touched by one for fear of getting cut.
	"Wooooow!" Shelly said, staring up at the huge fossil.
	"Piiiiikaaaaaaa....." Zappy and Pikachu commented in unison.
	All the Pokemon made a similiar comment.
	"THAT used to be a POKEMON?" Ash asked, staring at the large carcass of the Revival Generation Pokemon.
	"Yes, this one in particular was responsible for destroying all the cities in the eight states." the tour guide told them.
	"What about these pokemon?" Misty asked, staring at the exoskeleton of a pokemon which the sign called a Kabutops.
	"And who comes up with the names?" Ash asked.
	"These are the fossiled remains of ancient pokemon, believed to have existed at the end of the Dinosaur Era over nineteen thousand years ago.  It's believed that it was, until the latest Pokemon Era, the largest bug in history.  As for the name, I really don't know.  I just guide people around." the tour guide answered.
	"What do you mean by the Pokemon Era?" Misty inquired.
	"The Dinosaur Era, the Human Era, and the Pokemon Eras.  Whenever an animal becomes more dominant over any other, we refer to it as an Era.  It's believed that monsters, gods and such were actually Pokemon and since Pokemon can be more powerful than humans, we believe that those times in Human History were actually short Pokemon Eras." the tour guide answered.
	"I guess we probably never really noticed them before." Ash commented.
	"Um, can we go?" Shelly asked.
	"I thought you liked this place." Misty said.
	"Yeah, but I've been here before and I've seen all the new stuff." Shelly commented.
	"Well, thanks for the tour." Misty said, bowing.
	"Yeah, thanks." Ash said, bowing as well.
	"No problem." the tour guide said, walking over to a desk, grabbing a lab coat and entering the back room where she resumed her identity as the #1 Genius Scientist in the Universe.
	"So, where to next?" Ash asked as they left the museum and began walking down the street.
	"Well, we could take a bus to Cerulean City..." Misty said.
	"Let's do that.  My feet are tired." Shelly said.
	"I guess we take the bus.  But you guys'll have to be your pokeballs.  Buses absolutely do NOT allow Pokemon to be run around like little kids.  THAT I'm sure of." Misty said.

===============================================================================================

	Omake! (WARNING: STRANGE THOUGHTS AHEAD!)

--------------------

	Ash woke up in bed.  He found that Misty was spooned in behind him, one arm draped around him.
	"Um, Misty?" Ash asked.
	"Yeah?"
	"Where's your other hand?"
	"Between two pillows."
	"THOSE AREN'T PILLOWS!"
	"Yes, they are.  I ordered them last night." Misty said, lifting the two pillows for Ash to see.
	"Then, who's grabbing my butt?" Ash asked, before looking down at Nurse Joy.
	"Hehehehh....heh... BYE!" Nurse Joy yelped, leaping out of the room.
	".................." Ash and Misty looked at each other in unison.

	"Let's hear your mighty battle cry!"
	"KAKUNA!  KAKUNA!  KAKUNA!  KAKUNA!" Shelly said, dancing.
