I sent this to Fanfic chat by accident

Something light to take people's mind off, if only for a little bit

It's also a nice break from the "Genie" fics.

Which reminds me... #-_- *whaps Disruptor* How DARE you do that to my two favorite Gym Leaders! ^_^

                     Chapter 01

    Usagi, with tears standing in her eyes, entered a phone booth and
closed the door.  As soon as she did so, she collapsed and started
crying.

    "Mamo-chan broke up with me and that brat showed up.  I wish... I
wish I could go somewhere else.  Somewhere where I didn't have to deal
with Mamo-chan, Youma.  Someplace where I could live happily and forget
the pain for a while."

Ah, season 3 alternate!

    Looking around she spotted the green creature.  It looked like a
small bipedal dinosaur.

    Smiling at the creature, "Hi there, my name's Usagi...."

    Usagi trailed off as she rubbed the back of her head.

    "I can't remember my last name or anything else.  Ouch,"  she
muttered, and pulled her hand from the back of her head and stared the
blood on her palm.

    "I don't know who I am,"  she said, crying into her knees.

    The small creature looked at her sympathy and tugged at the
bottom of her skirt.

    Looking up, Usagi asked, "What is it?"

    "Tar-tar-larvitar," It said, tugging at the skirt even harder.

I think we can all see what's coming here...

But here's a question:  When that thing evolves into Tyranitar, will the Guizinshou have an effect on it's new Dark type?

    Seeing no other alternative, she shrugged and headed towards the
city.  She shook her head as waves of vertigo hit her.  The small
dinosaur followed her.  As she entered the city, Usagi saw a lot of
strange creatures.

    "Stop."

I think an exclamation point works better here.  "Stop!"

    Flickers of images passed through Usagi's mind as she dragged
herself back into consciousness.  She rubbed the back of her head and
felt a thick scab under her hair.  Opening her eyes, she saw that she
was in a hospital and that the officer who she was talking to was
there.

You might want to give a quick discription from Usagi's point of view.  Maybe of her battles with the Dark Kingdom.

    "Hello.  My name is Officer Jenny.

#23, to be exact.  :)

Are you feeling all right?"

    Shaking her head, Usagi explained, "I can only remember my name.
I can't remember my family's name or anything else."

    "Amnesia," Jenny muttered to herself.

"On the other hand, your Special Attack rating just went up."

Looking at Usagi, she

asked, "What is your name and do you have anything that might give you
a clue as to who you are?"

    "My name is Usagi.  The only thing I have is a pen and this
brooch," came the reply.

    Usagi opened the brooch and both women had their breath taken
away by the sight of the silver crystal inside it.

*Cues Angelic Chorus and FFIV title music*

    Staring at the crystal, Usagi said, "I remember this.  I have had
it for a while.  It holds some clue as to who I am.  I can't recall
anything else."

Remember kiddies, never forget the artifact of inmesurable power that can wipe out the universe if used improperly!

    "A Larvitar.  That's a fairly rare Pokemon.  It should serve you
well as a starter."

And later, it will serve you well as a finisher!

    "Tar."  Obelisk nodded.

    Usagi said.  "Thank you.  Professor Spruce?  Jenny said that if I
caught more than six Pokemon, the extras would be sent to you."

    "That's correct.  By League rules, a Trainer can only have six
Pokemon with him or her.  They can freely switch the Pokemon they are
carrying.  But as to the question you are going to ask, extra Pokemon
are teleported to where you got your Pokedex.  In your case, my lab.
Researchers such as myself study the Pokemon you send to us.  While
they are with us, we feed and take care of them."

    "I see.  You don't experiment on them, do you?"

    Spruce laughed,  "No.  We aren't cruel.  We just take care of
them and watch them in as close to their natural habitats as possible."

    "Sort of like a zoo-keeper,"  Usagi mumbled to herself

    "It's been a while since I heard that term applied to us.  I
wonder where you heard it from."

    "Er.  I don't know."

    Spruce shook his head.  "Don't worry about it.  Your memory will
return sooner or later."

    "I hope so,"  Usagi said in a slightly choked voice.

    "Since your memory is shot, let's go over rules and regulations."

    Professor Spruce explained about Gyms, badges, leagues, and the
rules that all the leagues had in common.

    "The six Pokemon limit was set to prevent a trainer from being
overwhelmed by sheer numbers.  Such as a Charizard having to deal with
two hundred Caterpies.  It is also easier for a Trainer to keep track
of what is in each Pokeball, if the number is limited."

    "Why six?"

    "A lot of competitions have a three on three match.  one loss.
one win.  one tiebreaker.  Six allows for two competitions.  One right
after the other."

    "Oh."

You know what, that's one of the best reasons for that I've ever heard.

    Spruce looked out the window and saw it was getting dark.  "I'll
let you get some sleep.  You have a big day ahead of you."

    Usagi nodded and smiled as she saw Obelisk was fast asleep
already.  She noticed that Spruce had already left the room.

    She whispered to herself, "A Pokemon journey sounds like fun.
It'll take my mind off my memory loss.  I probably wasn't that
important anyway."

Lol!  You wish.  But look on the bright side, when you do regain your memory, you'll have quite a bit of help on your side for getting back!

------------------
                    Chapter 02

    Usagi smiled as she stepped out into the morning light.  Her
discharge from the hospital went smoothly.  She was given a pack that
Professor Spruce had provided for her.  It had a few changes of clothes
and a few days of rations, as well as a map.  She watched as Obelisk
walked over to a small boulder.  A look of surprise crossed her face as
her Pokemon started eating the rock.  She just stared as Obelisk had
eaten the rock down into a stone bench.

    "Obelisk, what if the people around here wanted the rock?"

    "Larvitar," Obelisk said, hanging his head in shame.

    Officer Jenny walked over to the pair and said, "Don't worry
about this rock.  But, Usagi is right.  You will have to watch what
rocks you eat."

    "Vitar,"  Obelisk agreed.

Well, at least he left it in a useful shape.

Hmm... If she ends up taking her Pokemon with her back to Tokyo, will she have to worry about Obelisk eating half the City?  Or at least Fuji-san...

    "Sorry.  I was just talking to myself,"  Usagi said, as she
checked her Pokedex on Meowth's gender.  "Female.  For a reason that
seems right.  So, how about Felis for your name?"

Thank you for not saying Luna.

    Usagi sighed as she put the map away.  She pulled out her brooch,
opened it up, and stared at the crystal intently.  The thought that
Felis and Obelisk need healing was formost on her mind, especially
Felis.  The silver crystal started flashing and Usagi felt energy
emenate from the gem.  Looking down, she saw that the Pokeballs
conatining her Pokemon had changed.  The red on the balls had been
replaced by silver.  A golden crescent moon was emblazoned on the
silver part of the balls.  In the crescent moon, written in silver
letters were the Pokemon's names.

All together now:  "Figures."  At least they'll go with her fuku if/when she transforms again.

    "What?"

    Usagi frantically grabbed the two balls and released her Pokemon.
Usagi smiled in releif as she saw that her Pokemon were uninjured.

And suprisingly(to the audience) they were not evolved(or transformed).  But again, what happens when SHE transforms?

    As the sun rose, Usagi left the gatehouse on her way to
Cherrygrove.  As she passed a tree, she saw a poster nailed to it.
Curious, she walked over to it.

    "Wanted.  Team Rocket Members: Butch and Cassidy.  Wanted for
Pokemon theft."

*Cue Ominous Music*

    Usagi carefully made her way past the Quagsire.  She felt very
uneasy as the Pokemon just stared at her as she passed by.  After she
had passed, the Quagsire formed a semicircle on the road and stared
after her, making Usagi very uneasy.  The sound of a motorcycle
approcing distracted her from the staring Pokemon.

    Usagi got into the sidecar of Jenny's motorcycle and felt relief
that she would be away from the Quagsire.  She closed her eyes and felt
the wind in her face.  When she opened her eyes, she was in for a rude
shock.  Lined up on both sides of the road, Quagsire were sitting and
staring at her as she went by.

    Usagi had the feeling that she would freak if she didn't follow
Jenny's advice.  Nodding, she got out of the side-car and hurried up
the road.  Jenny turned around and saw a line of Quagsire staring in
the direction that Usagi went.

    "There has to be a reason they are doing this.  I just wonder
what it is," Jenny said to herself.

You know, it took me a second to realize why they were doing that, then it hit me.  Then I hit it back(^_^).  Now I'm suprised they showed so much restraint.  Good thing for her she didn't pass through at the same time as Ash!

    Pluto turned away and whispered so softly that no one could hear,
"We will fall.  If not now, later.  We're just delaying the
inevetiable."

*Cue extremely omimous music and fade to black*

All in all, a very good story Idea.  I'm wondering where you're going with it though.

And again, I have to ask the same question I asked about Pokegenie:  "What happens when MewTwo finds out?"  Of course, now the Clefairy and Lugia may have a say in it as well.
