    Misty awoke to a tingling sensation passing through her body.  Looking up, she saw that she was inside her Pok�ball.  She noticed that her body was pulsing with a yellow light.  Soon the light died away and Misty felt totally refreshed.

    *So, Ash must have taken me to a Pok�center to have me healed fully.  I guess I'll be stuck in here while waiting to be called out,* Misty thought.  *Oh well, I'd better get back to working on my interior Pok�center.*

    "Togepi-gepi-pigepi," came from Misty's egg Pok�mon.

    "Hi, Togepi.  Did you miss me?"  Misty asked.

    "Togepi."

    "Well, don't worry about it.  I'm going to be stuck here for a bit."

    Misty went to the widest level of her Pok�ball, and went into a building that she had constructed there with her link to the ball.  She soon finished up and then decorated the building with seashells and wave pattern.  Togepi waddled around the building and made an inquiring noise.

    Misty, trying to guess what Togepi said, replied, "I know it makes no sense to have a building in here, but, to me, it acts as a way to keep track of where things are at."

    The egg made a few more noises and headed back to Misty.  The genie picked it up and carried it back to her room, near the top of the Pok�ball.  She hesitated for a second and looked off into the distance.  Shaking her head, Misty finished her climb and entered her bedroom.

    *I wonder what that feeling was.  I felt cold.  Maybe nothing.*
-------------------------------
    At the Ketchum home, Ash woke up early to see how his two Pok�mon were doing at the center.  Pikachu raised his head up, to see Ash leaving.  He yawned and then used Agility to catch up to Ash. Soon, the pair made it to the Pok�center.

    Going in, Ash asked, "Nurse Joy, how are Misty and Chansey doing?"

    Joy yawned a bit, "This is a bit early, Ash.  But, your Pok�mon are fine.  We finally managed to convince your Chansey that we do know what we are doing.  We put Misty's Pok�ball into the recharger and she should be fine now."

    "Recharger?"

    Joy patted a meter tall cabinet with six circular depressions on the top of it. In the depressions were wires that had small suction cups on the end.  A ball was setting in one of the depressions, with a suction cup attached to the central button.

    "This thing.  It's how we refresh non-critically injured Pok�mon.  Your Chansey stabalized Misty, and all she need was recharged."

    Joy picked up the Pok�ball and handed it to Ash.

    "Here's Misty and I'll go get Chansey."

    The Pallet Town nurse walked into a side room, behind the cabinet.  She soon returned with a Chansey that had black U's under its eyes.

    Holding up a Pok�ball, Ash said, "Chansey, I think you'd better get some sleep when we get home.  Chansey, return."

    A red beam of light washed over Chansey and pulled her inside the Pok�ball. Returning the ball to his belt, Ash headed for the door.

    Before leaving, Ash said, "When Brock wakes up, tell him that I got Misty and Chansey and headed home."

    "Sure thing, Ash.  I'll tell him"

    Ash shrugged and left for home.  Upon arriving, he called Misty out.  Forming from the orange smoke, the genie looked at Ash, holding Togepi.

    "It's about time, Ash," Misty said, "It's kind of boring in there.  By the way, what time is it?"

    Ash looked at a clock in the kitchen and replied, "It is 6:10 A.M.."

    Looking a bit confused, "Er.  What?  How could it be six in the morning?"

    "You were injured by Team Rocket, yesterday," Ash said.

    Sighing heavily, Ash related everything that had happened dealing with Team Rocket.  Misty was a bit unnerved at how close to death she had came.  Once she heard about the circus Chansey joining Ash's Pok�mon team and why, she looked a bit nervous.  Ash then went onto explain what happened at the Pok�center last night.

    *I thought Psyduck was my biggest headache,* Misty thought.  *Just because Ash caught me, I have to deal with this bizarreness.*

    The Pok�genie kept her thoughts quiet, just to make sure that Chansey wouldn't hear and try to suicide again.

    "So, Ash.  I take it we'll be leaving for the tournament later?"

    "Yes.  I want to make sure we get there on time.  In a couple of hours, we'll go get Brock and leave."


    Misty nodded as she looked at her Trainer.  She once again felt a chill sweep through her.
------------------------------------------------
    Two weeks had passed since the Rocket attack on the circus.  Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Brock, and Togepi watched as the Moltres leapt from the torch brazier and flew over the stadium.  The firey bird hovered in mid-air for a second and stared first at Misty and then at Ash.  It flew away, looking like someone had given it a shot of whiskey.

    Blushing a bit, Misty commented, "I think it's laughing at us."

    Ash just pulled the rim of his hat over his eyes and turned away.  Looking on, the president of the Pok�mon League stroked his chin.  He walked forward a bit and put his hand on Ash's shoulder.

    "Don't let it get to you.  You're the first people to get the Moltres to laugh in public. It's quite an honor."

    Ash shook his head and said nothing.

    The President continued, "Well, anyway.  I'm going to need to talk to all of you later.  If you win, I'll talk to you after the match.  If not, shortly after you are eliminated."

    Ash looked over his shoulder, in curiosity, and asked, "Why?"

    "I'd rather not say at the moment."
------------------------------------------
    Ash and friends were sitting in the tournament restaurant having a conversation of Ash's first battle.  Todd was listening to the conversation as he was going through his photos.

    Brock commented, "You're lucky that your Krabby evolved into Kingler during the fight."

    "I knew he could win.  I wanted to give him the chance," Ash replied.

    Shaking her head, Misty    said, "You're going to have to come up with a better strategy than that, Ash."

    Ash looked down at his cola and shrugged.  He was busy thinking of what Pok�mon to use in the next battle.  A voice interrupted his reverie.

    "So, you're Ash Ketchum," a boy about Ash's age said.

    Looking up, Ash saw that the boy had a Pikachu on his shoulder and was smiling.

    The boy continued, "I saw that match you had earlier and I was impressed.  By the way, my name's Richie."

    Richie held out his hand, which Ash took.  The two trainers shook hands, and Ash offered Richie a seat at the table.

    Brock asked, "Why are you talking to us?"

    "Well, I've heard a lot about you three, sorry four, and I wanted to meet you," Richie replied.

    Richie looked around and waved to have the other four huddle over the table.

    "Ash, there are some people saying bad things about you.  One real joker is trying to get you disqualified from the tournament for using a stolen Pok�mon.  I think Damien is his name."

    Ash rolled his eyes and muttered, "Oh great.  And since Charizard won't obey me, he'll be able to use that against me."

    Misty looked at her Trainer and then Richie.

    "There's more, isn't there?" she asked.

    Richie nodded, "I'm afraid so.  It has to deal with some sort of human Pok�mon.  Something about how Ash used an unauthorized Pok�mon to win his final badge."

    Misty groaned a bit and muttered, "That sounds like Gary Oak."

    Brock pushed back from the table and stood up.  He rubbed his forehead as he thought.   Finally, he spoke.

    "Ash, the president said he wanted to talk to us.  I think now would be a good time," Brock stated.

    Misty, Ash, and Pikachu nodded.  As the three were about to leave, Richie piped up.

    "Do you mind if Leon and I went along?"

    Ash asked, "Leon?"

    "My Pikachu," Richie said.

    Ash shrugged and said, "Sure, you can come along."

    Soon, the group consisting of two Pikachu, four guys, and a genie were inside the president's office.  Richie relayed what he had heard.  Sighing, the president pulled out a map.

    The president said, "Ash, this is part of the reason I wanted to talk to you.  After the tournament, you and your friends should drop out of sight for a while."

    "Huh? I don't understand," Ash replied.

    Brock answered the question, "I think I do.  We're in danger of some sort."

    The president nodded, "The Earth Gym leader is going to motion to have the licenses of you three revoked, because of the damage to the Viridian Gym."

    Ash protested, "That was Team Rocket.  They planted explosives under the gym.  Misty accidentally set them off with an Ember."

    The president held up his hands in halting motion. "Easy, Ash.  I know it's not your fault.  I also received from a Nurse Joy a report on Damien's Charmander.  This vanishing act is to prevent you from loosing your licensee.  It should also prevent Team Rocket from going after Misty for a while."

    Misty asked, "And, just how will that help?"

    The president got a sly glint in his eye and smiled, as he replied, "Because, I'm going to disguise it as a punishment."

    "Huh?" came from five throats.

    "Considering how often and how long you three got lost, I think a two month exile to someplace secluded wouldn't be to much of a bother."

    "Exile?  What does that mean?" Ash asked.

    Brock said, "It means that we won't be allowed contact with anyone else."

    Ash pulled his hat off his head and replied, "Well, if you think it's for the best...."

    The president of the tournament nodded and started tapping places on the map.  He stopped on a small island and looked up.

    "I think this place will do.  I've used it as a vacation spot at times.  Greystice Island."

    Brock frowned, "I've never heard of it."

    "I'd be surprised if you had.  It's not a very big island and it's not near any of the main shipping routes."

    Misty looked at where the island was located and asked, "What's it like?"

    "Cold. That's the big downside of the island.  I'll have warm clothes and lots of firewood sent with you.  You'll have to take shelter in one of the caves on the island."

    Ash stared at the map and recalled when he was trapped in a blizzard.  He kept the tears in check for the loss of Charizard's friendship.

    "I guess this is for the best,"  Ash said softly.

    The president replied, "As soon as you have won the tournament or are eliminated, we'll get you three onto a ship out of here."

    Ash nodded and headed for the door.  Before he left, the president spoke up.

    "Ash, in compensation for this idiocy that you are being forced into, I will be giving you something in return."
-----------------------------------
    Ash sat dejeted at a table.  Misty and Brock tried to cheer him up.

    "Come on, Ash," Misty said. "You placed fourteenth in the league.  That is quite an accomplishment right there."

    "She's right, Ash.  You should be pleased."

    Ash slammed his fist onto the table.

    "I should have chosen Pyromon, rather than Charizard."

    Brock calmly explained, "You don't really know Pyromon that well, and Charizard did give a good showing for a while."

    "You should listen to them," Richie said, as he walked up to the table.  "It was only because of Team Rocket's interference, that you lost.  All of your more experienced Pok�mon were exhausted.  I want a rematch when you get back."

    "Richie, what are you doing here?"  Ash asked.

    "I got trounced badly by the opponent I faced after you.  I wasn't expecting all three Eevee evolutions."


    Ash clasped Richie's hand and said, "Sure, I'll give you that rematch.  I'll see you later.  Let's go guys."

    Ash and company went to the president of the Indigo League and told him they were ready to leave.  The President nodded and handed Ash an envelope.

    "Ash, don't open this envelope until at least a week has passed after you have arrived at Greystice Island.  It'll explain everything."

    "I understand sir."

    "Well now, let's get you three up and out of here."

    The president led the group to a dock where an old looking paddle-boat ferry was waiting.  Motioning for them to get on board, the president waved good-bye to the group.  Soon, the small ship was traversing the open sea.  Misty decided to ask Ash a question that had been nagging her for a while.

    "Ash, when did you get a Lapras?" she asked. "I don't ever remember you catching one."


    "Oh, that.  I found it being attacked by a school of Krabby.  It joined me after Pikachu convinced it to come along.  It was shortly before I rejoined yo back near the Stormflare volcano," Ash replied.

    Shuddering a bit form Ash mentioning Stormflare, Misty said, "When we get to the island, I want to meet Lapras."

    "Err. Okay," Ash said, as he pulled out a Pok�ball.

    Ash threw the ball and Bulbasaur came out.  Ash explained what was happening and what he was about to do. Closing his eyes to go to sleep, Bulbasaur nodded.  Ash called Bulbasaur back and used Dexter to switch Pok�balls.

    *I hope we arrive soon,* Ash thought, as he looked at the Pok�ball.
-----------------------------------
    As Greystice Island came into view, the gang looked at it with misgivings.  It lived up to its name.  The cliff-face was composed of gray rock, making it very dreary looking.

    "This is just a barren rock," Misty complained. "I can't believe that you would agree to come here, Ash."

    "Easy, Misty.  Ash did what he thought was right.  We just have to deal with it."

    Ash turned towards the owner of the ferry.

    "Captain, how long will it take us to get there?"

    "About two hours.  I don't want to tear the bottom of my ship out on some reefs."

    "Oh, heck with this.  I want to get this over with as fast as possible," Ash said, throwing a Pok�ball. "Lapras, I choose you."

    Ash's blue dinosaur Pok�mon emerged from the ball, materializing in the water next to the ship.  Lapras put his head next to Ash, allowing his trainer to get on the Pok�mon's back.  Pikachu sat atop Ash's head and hummed.

    "Come on, Brock. Get on board," Ash called out.

    Misty put her hands on her hips and yelled, "And, what about me?  There's not enough room on Lapras for all of us."

    "Pi-Toge," Togepi chirped from Misty's pack.

    Ash held up a ball and a beam of red light shone forth.  The beam struck Misty, who was quickly reminded of her Pok�mon nature by being pulled inside the ball.

    "That's how," Ash commented, while shrinking the ball.
------------------------------------------------------------
    After landing on the beach, Ash returned Lapras to his ball and called Misty forth.  Misty appeared before them with her hands on her hips.

    "Ash, warn me next time you're going to do something like that.  I almost landed on Togepi."

    Pulling the bill of his cap down, Ash replied, "Sorry, Misty.  I just wanted to get here as quickly as possible."

    "Well Mr. Trainer, did you happen to remember that all of our food and firewood are still on the ship?"  Misty asked.

    "Umm.  Oops." Ash meekly answered.

    Ash looked back over the water, where the paddle-boat was slowly approaching.  He turned and saw an opening in a cliff face.  The cave had a wooden tunnel built into its entrance.  He quickly headed towards the shelter, to wait for the ship to arrive with the supplies.  Misty, Brock, and Pikachu followed.  While waiting, Ash called Lapras out to meet Misty.  Pikachu started talking to Lapras, while Misty looked at the Water Pok�mon in adoration.  Brock and Ash shrugged.

    "So Ash, what are we going to do for the next couple of months?" Brock asked.

    Ash clenched his fist and stated, "There has to be Pok�mon on this island, and I'm going to catch some."

    Misty broke off her staring at Lapras and said, "There is that.  Plus, we could also train our Pok�mon while were here.  I have Staryu, Shockate, and Psyduck."

    "I've got Squirtle, Lapras, Pikachu, Charizard, Chansey, and you Misty.  I think I'll use Chansey.  She needs practice," Ash replied.

    Brock said, "Not here.  After the ship arrives and drops off our supplies, we'll go hunt for an open field to use.  I don't want to damage our only shelter."

    Misty and Ash put their hands behind their heads and sweat dropped.

    The ferry arrived and the captain of the ship had his crew unload the boat with the supplies that the gang would need for the next couple of months.  Once they had stowed the stuff in the cave, the ship left leaving Ash and his friends behind.
---------------------------------
    An hour after the ferry had left, Ash and company started searching for a field they could use as a training field.  They came upon a large open area in a shallow valley.  The three looked at each other and nodded.  Misty and Ash called forth Psyduck and Chansey for a practice session.  After the two Pok�mon had finished, Misty and Brock called Staryu and Zubat for a battle.  Ash sat down on a large rock and pulled out a folder with papers in it.  He opened the folder and looked at the contents of the file.  He sighed wistfully as he examined what was on the sheets.

    Coming over, Misty asked, "Hey, what have you got there?"

    Ash closed the file quickly and stuttered, "Nothing,. Nothing at all."

    "Right, Ash," Misty said, and snatched the file from him.

    Before Ash could protest, she opened the folder and saw that what Ash was looking at was the diagrams of a large building.  She turned the pages and realized that she was looking at the plans for a gym.

    "I guess it's no use protesting now.  Those are the plans of a gym that I drew up using a building designer program," Ash said. "I just wish that it could be built, so I could see how good a job I did at designing it."

    Misty's eyes began to glow orange as she walked away from Ash, holding the file near her.

    Before giving into the power, Misty said, "Great.  This is just great, Ash. I'm going to be stuck building a gym for you, because you didn't watch what you were saying."
---------------------------------
    Somewhere purple eyes stared off into the distance and somewhere else blue eyes opened.
_____________________________________________________________________
And here's the story idea if any one wants to take off with it:


    Standing next to a large computer, a man was working.  He looked up and spoke into a microphone.

    "I'm afraid I can't do it, by myself.  I need some help."

    A voice answered back, "There should be contols for the explore probe near you.  Send that out and use the information it sends back."

    "Right.  On it.  I'm going to send it to Japan first."

    A small globe, with two solar panel wings, lifted off from a peadstal behind the man.  It soon went up through an opening and continued on.  It hit open sky as it left through the top of a volcano.  The probe rotated a bit and shot off towards the horizion.
--------------------------------
    On the streets of Jubann, Sailor Moon and the rest of the Inner Sailor Senshi were battling a leftover Daimon, from the DeathBusters.  The Senshi thre attack after attack at it, unaware that a small globe stopped over their fight.  Finally, Mercury was able to catch the mosnter and hold it trapped in ice she formed.

    "Now, Sailor Moon," Mercury cried.

    Sailor Moon started twirling around, charging up the Cutie Motion Rod.  The heart shape magical blasts were deflected by the Daimon.  One of the blasts spun up towards the silver ball.  The ball exploded in light and power.  The energy emenating from the probe vaporized the Daimon.  The Senshi were also affected by the explosion.  They colapsed one by one.   Each one was glowing a different color: red, green, orange, yellow, and blue.  Watching from a safe distance away, were the two moon cats.
-------------------------------
    Back where the probe launched, the man relayed what had happened to the probe and the weird readings he got from the Senshi.  The voice told him to go back over the data as much as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------
    Usagi awoke to Luna's voice.  She was puzzled why her cat seemed a lot smaller.

    "Usagi, are you all right?" Luna asked.

    "I'm fine, Luna.  What happened?"

    Putting her paw on the destroyed probe, she explained, "When your blast was deflected it hit this machine and it exploded.  The machine's destruction destroyed the Daimon as well.  It also had a side-effect."

    Usagi asked, "What kind of side-effect?"

    Luna looked at where the other Senshi had fallen, and replied, "Usagi, you and the others have become robots."

    Standing up, Usagi noticed that she was much, much taller than before.  She examined her body and found that it was made out of metal and painted yellow, with white legs.  She also took note that around her waist was the skirt that was part of her Senshi costume.  She finally noticed a red face painted on her chest.

    Pointing to the face, Usagi asked, "What's this?"

    "You haven't been watching the news, have you?" Luna asked,rolling her eyes in exasperation.  "That face is the symbol of the Autobots."

note:the idea came from a thread that had appeared on the Mekton Z Mailing List(MZML).
