Adventures in Pokesitting II: Double Trouble

"There she goes...home to Pewter..." Brock began as he waved goodbye to Kendra and Ami one more time.

"I'll admit, this was one wild week..." Ash smiled. "But, making messes or not, she was still a sweetheart..."

"I'll say..." Misty agreed.

"But one thing's for sure..." Brock sighed. "If I'm asked to Poke-sit again, please make the charges a little more behaved..."

"I know..." Ash groaned. "If I have to look after an Azurill again, I'll scream!"

"Which reminds me..." and Misty produced a letter from her pocket. "A letter from Lily and Daisy...they're leaving for a Gym Leader's conference, and have no one to look after their Azurills--"

"AUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Ash's scream make the whole house shake.

Brock sighed. "Well, here we go again..."


Day 1, Morning

Ash sighed as he paced the floor of the living room. It had been two months after he, Misty and Brock had been asked to babysit Ami, a highly michevious Azurill, and the prospect of looking after two Azurills didn't sound very promising if the charges in question were as rowdy as Ami was. Yet he didn't complain, lest he invoke the wrath of Misty.

"Pika?" Pikachu seemed to notice Ash's concern. "Pika chu?"

"I'm just worried about how handling two Azurills might play out..." Ash explained as he cradled Pikachu in his arms, all the while listing to Misty jabber away on the phone. "I seriously hope they don't flood the bathroom, or bang on the pots and pans, or draw all over the wall, or make a racket at 4 AM..."

"...Okay, I'll see you then!" Misty smiled as she hung up the phone, then turned to Ash. "That was Lily...she and Daisy are on their way here before they leave for the conference..."

"What do I need to do?" Ash asked as he rose from his chair and set Pikachu on the floor.

"You can help Brock set up the back room..." Misty explained. "Lily says that the Azurills like to sleep in seperate cribs..." She paused for a moment to show Ash an old photo of her and the Cerulean Sisters that lay on the coffee table nearby the couch. "The one Lily's holding's named Mizu..." she explained, pointing out an Azurill with a sparkling red bow on its tail. "...and the one Daisy's holding's named Umi." She smiled at the Azurill Daisy was holding, especially noting the sparkling green ribbon on its tail.

"Okay, so Mizu is red, and Umi is green..." Ash noted as he started up the stairs towards the back room. He began repeating to himself "Fire red, leaf green...fire red, leaf green..." as he walked upstairs so he wouldn't forget how to tell his two charges apart.

---------

"Hey, Ash..." Brock called as he spread fresh bedding on one of the cribs. "Why are you saying 'fire red, leaf green' all of a sudden?"

"To help me remember how to tell our charges apart..." Ash explained as he wrote 'Mizu' on a red ribbon with some white paint and tied it to the crib. "Mizu's bow is red, and Umi's is green."

"I see..." Brock smiled as he hung a mobile over the first crib. He smiled as he noticed the bow on Mizu's crib. "That's cute...in fact..." and he reached for a green bow and white paint, wrote "Umi" on the bow, and tied it to the crib by the window.

"And..." Ash hung a second mobile over the second crib, this one with green figures. He was about to spread fresh sheets on Umi's crib when he heard the doorbell ring, followed by Misty answering it. "I think they're here..." he mused as he set some toys in the cribs, complete with red and green stickers on them so he could tell them apart.

---------

"Hello, little guys..." Brock cooed as Lily and Daisy, Azurills in tow, followed him to the back room. "Take a look!" he smiled as he showed off the red and green decorated room.

"See, Mizu? All the red things are yours..." Lily explained as she set Mizu in her crib. "You'll behave for Misty while Mama goes bye bye, won't you?"

"Azu..." Mizu gave Lilly one last hug before tottling over to a Teddiursa plushie lying by her.

Daisy, meanwhile, was trying to console a squalling Umi. "It's all right, Mommy's gonna come back in a few days..." Umi just sniffled as Daisy carefully set her inside the crib. "See?" she cooed as she pointed out the various toys in the crib. "She brought you some toys...all the green toys are for you."

"Azu?" Umi weakly smiled, piqued by a Psyduck pull toy. She laughed a bit as she rolled the figure about the sheets, enthralled by the way it quacked as it rolled along.

"Umi likes things that make noise." Daisy explained as she and Lilly turned to leave.

"I see..." Misty replied. She waved goodbye as Lily and Daisy disappeared down the path. Mizu decided to bound to the window and wave goodbye to her master one last time, but Umi just sat in a corner, bored. Finally, she burst into tears, saddened that her master had left her.

"Talk about seperation anxiety..." Ash sighed as he started for the bookshelf by Mizu's crib, hoping a story would comfort Umi.

"Say..." Misty got an idea. "Maybe Umi would like hearing your guitar, Brock!"

"I was just about to go get it and play for her myself!" Brock laughed as he disappeared down the hallway.

"Ri?" Umi sniffled as Misty rocked her assuringly. She perked up a little when she heard the notes of an acoustic guitar being tuned coming down the hallway. "Zu?"

"Brock's getting something he uses to sing songs with..." Misty explained. "You want to hear him sing? Hm?"

"Azu! Azu!" Mizu bounced around her crib excitedly as Brock returned and settled in a chair facing the cribs, guitar in hand. Umi calmly sighed, all the while admiring the beautiful yellow-brown instrument; especially how the sun reflected off the strings, making them appear to shine.

"Okay...what kind of a song should I sing for these two?" Brock asked as he checked his tuning one last time.

"Ooh! Play...that one you've been practicing on!" Ash suggested.

"All right..." and Brock began to play a slow and quiet melody, over which he sang:

I remember this song, I've known it for so long...
And it feels so good to hear...
Sounds a little sad, but sweet just the same...
Lovely melody....
Whenever I hear this song, I really don't know why....
It makes me shed a little tear...
At this, Umi brushed away a small tear as she listened to the soothing sound of Brock's voice.
But I'm sure my tears will soon disappear,
Because I know you're here...
Mizu smiled as she moved her head to the music.

Whenever I am feeling sad,
And everything around looks bad,
All I have to do is think of you!
I know my dreams are waiting to come true!


Let's go on with hope in our hearts,
Love will surely show us how!
Let's go on, our hearts filled with dreams!
Let's go on and find them now!
He gave the strings one last strum to end the song.

"It worked!" Misty smiled as she admired the two Azurills sleeping peacefully. "You put them right to sleep!" She and Ash were about to leave the room when a sudden cry startled her. "Oh!"

"What?" Ash whirled around, worried by Umi's crying
.
"Try playing 'Let's Go On' quietly while these two sleep..." Misty whispered. Brock nodded and restarted the soothing song, calming the squalling Umi enough for her to sleep. He continued to play softly as Ash and Misty tiptoed away...

"Now that they're sleeping..." Ash began as he and Misty trooped down the stairs. "Could you maybe tell me a bit more about Mizu and Umi?"

"Mizu's the active one...Lilly says that she's constantly running after her!" Misty laughed as she settled in on the couch and flicked on the TV. "Umi is a little clingy and fussy, especially when she's in unfamiliar territory."

"So I noticed..." Ash sighed as he prepared to sit down next to Misty...but before he could do so, the doorbell rang. "Huh?" "I'll get it!" he assured Misty as he raced to the dor and opened it--and gasped when he saw who was on the front stoop. "May? Max? What a surprise! Come on in!"

"Hope you don't mind a few surprise houseguests..." May laughed as she set her suitcase on the floor. "Mom and Dad are going on vacation for a week, and I asked if we could stay with you for the week."

"Sure..we kinda have two houseguests already..." Ash began.

"Lilly and Daisy had to go to a Gym Leader's conference this week, so we're babysitting their Azurills for the week." Misty explained.

"WOW!" Max was psyched at this. "Can we come see th--"

"SHHH!!" Ash shushed Max. "They'e asleep right now, so keep it quiet." He motioned for May and Max to follow him upstairs and into the back room, where Brock was in the middle of his umpteenth chorus of I remember this song, I've known it for so long... And it feels so good to hear...
"That's a pretty song..." May commented as Brock continued to sing and play his guitar.

"He's been practicing this one for a while now..." Ash replied before giving Brock a nudge. "Hey..."

Sounds a little sad, but sweet just th-...oh, Ash, it's just you." Brock smiled as he flexed his fingers a few times to relax them. "What are May and Max doing here?"

"Norman and Caroline are going on vacation, so May and Max staying with us for the week." Ash explained as he pointed out the cribs to May and Max. "Mizu's the one with the red decor, and Umi's the one with the green decor." He was about to say more when he heard Umi beginning to fuss. "Brock! Start playing again, quick!"

"Okay..." Brock strummed a few uncertain notes. "Where was I?"

"Sounds a little sad..." Max prompted.

"Oh yeah.." and Brock resumed playing and singing. Sounds a little sad, but sweet just the same...Lovely melody...


Day 1, Afternoon

"How did the babies sleep?" Misty asked as the others trooped downstairs into the kitchen, where a bowl of macaroni and cheese was cooking in the microwave.

"Brock had to play 'Let's Go On' at least fifty times..." Ash sighed as he set Mizu and Umi on the counter. "Did you like Brock's song? Hm?" he asked Umi as he turned on the radio, causing a relaxing melody to go drifting into the room.

"Azu azu ri..." Umi replied. Mizu nodded in agreement--but not before she pushed a plate off the counter. Umi giggled as she pushed off another plate, sending Ash into a frantic scramble to catch the falling silverware.

"NOT AGAIN!!!" Ash screeched as he hurried to catch the falling plates--he remembered Ami doing this, so he was determined not to have all the silverware break again. Thankfully, he managed to return the plates to the cabinet before the plate pushing got too out of hand.

"Nice catch, Ash." May smiled as she offered Umi an apple chunk.

"Thanks..." Ash replied as he stuck a TV dinner in the microwave for himself....

---------

"Look at them, enjoying their meals...." May smiled as she watched Mizu and Ami eat their lunches, all the while chattering away.

"Maybe we could provide some entertainment for them?" Max suggested, waving several sheets of paper in the others' faces. "This is a story I wrote for school...it's about a Pokemon puppeteer who goes on an adventure to rescue the princess he loves."

"I claim the hero's role!" Brock announced, psyched. "Do I get to kiss her at the end?"

"Nope, sorry..." Max laughed. "No kissing...but you do get to sing!"

"And Ash can voice Pikachu!" May suggested, pointing out several lines that mentioned a Pikachu. "Come on, let's go get ready!" The babies watched, bemused, as everyone rushed to get costumes, create a set, and take care of effects.

---------

"And now, we present to you our production of 'The Puppeteer's Princess'!" Ash announced to the babies. "Enjoy..." With that he raised the curtain on a makeshift stage, revealing a makeshift set of a town. The babies smiled as some soft music played in the background...until Brock suddenly appeared in in a spotlight, clad in a purple and gold vest and black pants.

I know that you're out there and I'm waiting for you! he sang. Taran is my name and I'm a puppeteer too! he sang, obviously getting into the role of Taran, the hero. With my Poke-friends, there's nothing that I can't do! he continued gesturing to Pikachu, Combusken, and Beautifly as they appeared on the stage sitting still, presumably trying to act like puppets. They are there to help me make my dreams come true, and once you get to know them, they just might help you too. And all the Pokemon in the world... he sang, making a big gesture that nearly knocked Combusken over. will help me find my way to you! I know that you're out there and I'm waiting for you!

There he goes again, he's so in love... Ash sang in a high pitched voice while Pikachu mouthed the words, giving the babies the impression that Pikachu was singing.

"So?" Brock asked Pikachu.

As if lightning struck him from above... Pikachu continued to "sing".

"But it did!" Brock protested, causing the babies to giggle.

I love you, princess, you are my true love...Taran, won't you stop the silly dreaming, please? Ash continued to sing as Pikachu.

"Can't you see?" I'm just trying to make my dream come true! Brock sang again.

"In a tunic like THAT???" Ash taunted in his Pikachu voice, causing the babies to laugh again.

I've done everything, a guy's supposed to! Brock sang as he danced across the stage, completely ignoring Pikachu. I bathe in the healing spring, even wash behind my ears! he sang as a set of a spring appeared behind him.

"Oh!" Ash gasped in his Pikachu voice.

All the water may tickle my nose, but it gets me squeaky clean..and when I'm done, I look so beautiful! Brock continued to sing, complete with striking a dramitic pose on "beautiful".

Taran, you're such a silly guy! Ash taunted as Pikachu. You must look further, than mere appearances to see... On this line, the music stopped as Ash continued: "Taran? Are you following this? What's important is..." WHAT'S INSIDE OF YOU!!!!!! he sang in time to the music, holding the word "you" for emphasis. The babies howled with laughter as Pikachu's dramatic pose.

"What's inside of me..." Brock mused as he settled into a thoughtful pose.

Don't you understand what I am saying to you? Ash asked as Pikachu. Look inside yourself and you will find out what is true! You must be courageous and be true to your heart... It will make you happy when you know just where to start!

I see it's what's inside of me... Brock sang.

"Yeah! What's inside of you!" Ash exclaimed.

Someday I'll find my love, she'll be the one for me...I'll be waiting patiently until she comes! Brock sang, looking out stage left for his princess.

"I told you, don't wait! You take the initiative!" Ash snapped as Pikachu, making the babies laugh again.

Now I remember...think for myself! Brock sang.

"Yeah, that's it!" Ash exclaimed.

Someday I'll find her, and she wil be the girl of my dreams! Brock sang again.

We'll share our lives as one, until the end of time! Brock and Pikachu sang together. Someday our hearts will beat as one! They waited for the music to finish before yelling "YEAH!" to end the song.

"Azu! Azu!" Mizu cried as she applauded.

"Riiiii!" Umi agreed as the set changed to a forest...


Day 1, Evening

"Wow...putting on a play was so much fun!" May smiled as she tucked the babies in for the night.

"I think Umi liked your Pikachu voice, Ash..." Misty smiled as she set Umi in her crib. "But May also does a good Combusken and Beautifly voice as well..."

Azu azu zu ri azu zu ri azu... Umi sang as she clutched a Teddiursa plushie. Mizu giggled in agreement as Ash switched off the light....

Wow! This is great! Pretty much what I would expect from you, FR. (Mind if I call ya that?) ^_^

Hey, here's a crazy idea, how about whenever they are getting them dressed after a bath or something, they get the bows mixed up. You can just imagine the crazy antics that can happen, right? :)

BTW, explain to me how an Azurill can hold something, based on the FACT that they have no hands? :)

Day 2, Morning


"Good morning, you two!" Ash cooed as he entered the back room the next day. "We've got something special planned for you today..."

"Azu?" MIzu snapped to attention, eager to hear what Ash had to say. "Azu ri?"

"Ri?" Umi yawned, curious as to why her sister was so excited.

"We're going to go to the movie theater and see a movie!" Ash explained as he opened the window. "But before we can go, we need to pick a movie to go see..." With that, he scooped Mizu and Umi in his arms and carried them downstairs to the kitchen, where the others were poring over the newspaper's movie listings.

"Crobatman Forever?" Brock suggested, pointing out a movie.

"Nah, we need to pick something that's rated G..." Misty cautioned. "With over 50 screens at the megaplex, there's bound to be SOMETHING rated G showing..." she mused as she studied the newspaper.

"How about 'Finding Milo'?" Max suggested. "May's seen it twice!"

"Or maybe 'Persians'?" May suggested. "I love the song 'Memory'"...

"Well, a Broadway show would be a little over their heads..." Brock noted...until a familiar figure caught his interest. "Oh! I didn't know 'Pokeguardians' had a movie!"

"They do?" Ash leaned over to look at the picture of Karinai posing, interested.

"Yeah...'Pokeguardians: The First Journey'...Brock added. "Do Mizu and Umi like 'Pokeguardians'?

Azu azu ri azu... Mizu sang to the tune of the 'Pokeguardians' theme song.

"I'll take that as a yes..." Ash smiled as he rushed upstairs to get ready.

"Ri?" Umi was bewildered by the picture of Karinai.

"'Pokeguardians' is about a group of kids that use the power of Pokemon to fight scary monsters." Brock explained, turning the newspaper so Umi could see the picture of Karinai. "This girl is Karinai...she's the leader of the Guardians; and uses the power of Fearow to fight."

"Azu azu ri?" Umi asked.

"What happens if there is no scary monster to fight? Then Karinai just looks like a normal girl named Cathrine." Misty added as she delivered a now cleaned Mizu to Ash.

"Azu azu?" Umi was still confused.

"If Cathrine sees somebody in trouble, she says the magic words..." and Brock struck Karinai's pre-transformation pose. "FEAROW CRYSTAL POWER!!!"

Karinaiiiiiii....Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-dit-doo... Ash started to sing Karinai's transformation theme as he cleaned Umi up. Umi just giggled at Ash's surprisingly good rendition of the song.

"Those magic words turn her into Karinai...and since she's the leader, she gets special music when she's turning into Karinai." Brock explained as he joined the others on the path.

"Azu azu ri?" Umi asked.

"Of course not..." Karinai has friends--other Guardians--to help her." May explained as the group set out to the bus stop....

---------

"Okay, you two..." Ash explained as the group approached the movie theater. "This is the movie theater...it has giant TVs inside that show different movies before they come out on video and DVD."

"Azu?" Mizu made a small form in the air.

"Nope, bigger than that." Misty explained as the group got in line. "Try..." and she made an even bigger form in the air. "big enough that it needs a whole wall to fit." Both babies' eyes widened, impressed. "But before we go in, we have to pay for a ticket first." she explained as she handed her payment for a ticket to the teller.

"Then when we go inside, we give the tickets to the ticket taker, and he'll take the piece that shows we've paid to get in." Ash continued as he handed his ticket to the usher, who tore off the ticket's smaller end; then handed the stub to Ash.

"Then comes the best part before the movie!" May explained she she cradled Mizu in her arms. "We get to pick what treats we want to eat during the movie!" Mizu glanced around the brightly decorated movie theater, enthralled by the colorful lights, the posters, and the buttery aroma of popcorn.

"When we get inside the theater...." Brock explained to Umi as the group approached the refreshment counter. "it'll get very dark...then the TV will show some commercials for upcoming movies..."

"Sometimes they'll even show a cartoon before the movie..." Ash added as he studied the impressive array of candies.

"But when it does get dark, that means we have to be quiet so other people will be able to enjoy the movie." Brock explained as he accepted the tray containing the group's popcorn, candy and drinks from the counter. "So no singing the 'Pokeguardians' theme song."

"Zu..." Mizu sighed, until a poster with a shiny Flygon on it caught her interest. "Azu ri?" she asked Misty, frantically pointing out the poster that read "New Lands: New Heroes".

"That Flygon's special because of his color..." Misty explained. "In fact, there some Azurills like you that are colored differently..."

"Azu zu ri?" Umi pointed at a second poster on the right wall, one that depicted the words "Hell Hath no Fury: An Ice Queen's Saga.". "Zu ri?" she asked, pointing at two red words hanging omniously above Lorelei and a very battered Sneasel: Coming Soon.

"'Coming Soon' means that that movie's going to come out in theaters very soon." Brock explained. "It could be a few days, it could be a few weeks, it could even be a few months, but it will come out." With that, he led the group into the theater showing 'Pokeguardians", where some people were already seated, enjoying their drinks and treats as they watched the screen loop movie trivia.

"All right..." Ash began as he settled in with his popcorn. "We can't have Mizu and Umi crawling all over us during the movie, so they need to stay put with somebody..."

"Umi will sit with me..." Misty called back as she fed Umi some popcorn.

"Azu ri!" Mizu called as she snatched some of Brock's popcorn, all the while watching more people and Pokemon enter the theater.

After a few minutes, the lights dimmed, and the screen went blank before a blue screen that read 'The following preview has been rated PG-13' appeared.

"Ri?" Umi was confused.

"That means this movie has some things in it that you probably don't need to see yet." Brock whispered as some omnious music began playing in the background.

There will be a great battle fought..... an announcer began as the noise and stills of a battle scene flashed on the screen.

Causing heroes from one world.... A purple sillhouette of a lizard, a green sillhouette of a crocodile, and a red sillhouette of an bee appeared on the screen.

And villains to cross.... At this, various robots appeared on the screen.

Into our world... Some sillhouettes of trainers appeared.

From there shall be a great war... The "good" sillhouettes and "bad" sillhouettes began to battle...

Over seven legendary treasures..... At this, seven rainbow diamonds appeared.

If in the wrong hands....

Can spell chaos for all....
An omnious figure laughed as the planet suddenly exploded, sending Mizu and Umi scrambling under the seats in fear.

"Hey, the world's not really going to go ka-boom, okay?" Misty assured the two shuddering Azurills as she dragged them back to her seat, only pausing to deliver Umi to Brock.

But when these three... The crocodile, lizard, and bee sillhouettes reappeared.

Join a band of trainers... The trainer sillhouettes reappeared again.

They have a chance....

To stop a madman’s plan...
The same omnious figure that had laughed before now clutched the same diamonds from earlier.

And many more foes that desire these precious treasure.... Various robots and some other humans appeared in sillhouette.

Can they succeed? Find out in... and the title of the movie appeared over the seven diamonds. The Chaos Emerald Frontier! Coming soon to a theater near you! With that, the diamonds let out a flash of rainbow light to end the preview, causing some in the audience to shield their eyes.

"Now THAT sounds like a cool movie!" Max commented as he slurped his drink, causing Mizu and Umi to giggle.

"Sh! Here comes the next preview!" May whispered as another "The following preview has been rated PG-13" screen appeared.

Some hopeful music started as the screen depicted a TV displaying an anchorwoman behind a desk. “We are pleased to announce that Giovanni, former head of Team Rocket before the Global Police’s recent crackdown on crime, was caught yesterday afternoon by Tintian Border authorities as he attempted to flee the country.”

Imagine a world where you thought evil was destroyed forever in one shining moment. Pokemon forever free to live their lives, with the occasional trainer coming along and trying to capture one or two….without Rockets to harass them. an announcer began as the music changed to a tense tune as the scene changed to an office. A man in a simple black uniform sat behind a simple wooden desk, and looked at a girl with dark red hair, “I want this to be clear, Peters. We can have no mistakes.”

The woman nods, “I understand. There will be none. Giovanni will be dead within seventy-two hours.”

Imagine a world, full of peace, and warm feelings. A peace where evil has no foothold. the announcer commented.

The scene changed to a courtroom, where Indigo League’s Champion, Lance, stands before a group of reporters in a press conference. His face looks haggard, his hair rumpled, his suit untidy, as if he had been in a fight and hadn’t gotten any sleep the night before. “Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make. I regret to inform you that Giovanni will not stand trial.” He holds a hand up before the press can shout, “I assure you, were he still alive, he would indeed stand trial, but I regret that he died in his sleep last night.”

If you still have that image in your head, bash it to pieces, and imagine a world of exactly the opposite. At this, the courtroom image shattered as the next scene began: a press conference where a man of distinctly Asian nationality stood next to a woman who looked like she came from a tropical climate. The woman began, “We, The leaders of Team Magma, Jiang Fernandez,” she motioned to the man beside her, “And myself, Joan Paula Jones, leader of Team Aqua, both hereby accuse Champion Lance of murdering Giovanni in his sleep, with his own form of cowboy justice. We give him twelve hours to produce information to prove his innocence.”

What if all your worst nightmares about the world…. the announcer continued as the scene suddenly froze for a moment, then resumed as a slightly different scene faded in, where The two leaders of Magma and Aqua were looking into the camera once again. “The twelve hours have passed, and proof of Lance’s innocence has not been brought forward. Therefore, we are announcing that Team Aqua and Magma will be merging into one team, Team Maqua, to remove the blight of the Indigo League from the face of the earth, and avenge Giovanni’s death.”

Came true…. In the next scene, Cassidy, at a video phone, speaking to the man in the black suit behind the desk, “Engaran Central Command? This is Cassidy. Things are on schedule, and are going smoothly. Operation: Celebi, should be pulled off without a hitch.”

In one month?

The music turned exciting as the scene shifted back to the office, where the man in the black suit was speaking to the red haired girl from earlier. “The invasion of Kanto must take place in exactly one month, or all our plans will be for naught.”

The girl looked him in the eye, “Everything will be ready by then, sir. I stake my life on it.”

The man in the black suit smiled faintly, “Oh, you are, Peters, make no mistake of that. You most certainly are.” The words "Operation: Celebi" flashed on the sceen for a moment, then floated to the bottom of the screen as the scene changed to show Butch and Cassidy, standing together on a naval vessel. The camera zoomed out to reveal an aircraft carrier, then zoomed out further to reveal an entire armada of a HUGE number of ships, two thirds of which were separating from the main group, and heading off in another direction. The sky was nearly black, but as the camera zoomed out further still, depicting planes, flying Pokemon, and dragons flying in patrol patterns above the massive fleet.

Coming soon to theaters from the man who brought you Hell Hath no Fury: An Ice Queen's Saga. Suddenly, a jet roared towards the camera, and just at the point of impact, the screen went black.

"Did that scare you?" Brock cooed as he fished Mizu from his popcorn. Mizu shakily nodded. "Don't worry...that movie's too scary for you anyway...." he whispered as he cleaned popcorn kernels off of Mizu and sat her in his lap.

"Look, a cartoon's coming on!" Misty whispered to Umi as a female announcer proclaimed. "And now, our special Mini feature..." Umi smiled and bit into a popcorn kernel as the words "Mini-Feature" appeared in an ornate script underneath moving movie film. Then, some happy music started to play as a Pichu's face appeared on the screen. Mizu and Umi both cheered--they knew a "Jerry the Pichu" cartoon when they saw one.

"That's right, it's Jerry the Pichu!" Ash whispered back as the cartoon's title appeared: "Jerry the Pichu in: 'That Pesky Pichu!'" The scene opened on the scene of a Rocket base, where Jessie, James, and Meowth were scrubbing the floor.

“I don’t why we have to the scrubbing instead of doing a real job,” James complained.

“Cos, pea-brain,” Jesse muttered back. “The boss has had enough of us trying to catch that twerp’s Pikachu… coming from my view it’s the fault of you two!”

James and Meowth became shocked of her criticism. “Hey!” Meowth shouted. “At least we’re da ones doin’ ALL da hard work while someone just sits on her lazy behind and bark orders!” Mizu and Umi giggled at the looks on James and Meowth's faces.

Before Jessie could make a comeback at that remark, obviously being angered by that, a voice stopped their arguing. “Hey!”

The trio turned to the voice’s attention. “What?” they shouted in an annoyed tone.

“Hey! Chill out!” said the man, also in Team Rocket uniform, only he was wearing black with a hat shading his eyes. “Just wondering if you guys saw this Pichu running around?”

The trio became puzzled. “No,” Jesse replied. “Why would you want to look for a Pichu in this building?”

“That little rat ate my lunch!” the grunt snarled angrily. “When I find that little creep, I’m gonna bust his head in!”

As he politely walked passed his teammates while grumbling angrily, the trio continued scrubbing the floor, somehow forgetting their argument. They soon noticed a little baby mouse walking passed them, making black footprints on the floor, much to the trio’s shock and the audience's delight--once Jerry appeared in his cartoons, absolute mayhem was sure to follow...

“Aw, great!” Meowth complained. “He left dose black markin’s!”

“It doesn’t matter, Meowth,” James replied as he dipped the brush into the bucket. “It’s just a baby Pokemon, besides we haven’t scrubbed this part yet.”

“Yeah, but…” Meowth said but he became even more shocked as he saw James unnoticeably scrubbed some black paint on the floor. “DAH! James! Jessie! Look!”

The audience roared with laughter as his two human comrades looked at what James did and the jaw of their mouths dropped to the floor and bounced back to normal. “Dat little critter must’ve switched buckets without us noticin’!” Meowth yelled. The audience laughed again.

Jerry stuck his tongue out, taunting the trio. “C’mon back here, you twerp!” Jessie snarled as she grabbed the bucket with the paint in it, attempting to hit Jerry with it. But she accidentally stepped on a banana skin and began skidding along the floor while Jerry escaped, much to the delight of the audience.

She rammed into a wall next to a door and accidentally spilt the paint all over herself, triggering more laughter. Mizu and Umi were still laughing as she took the bucket off her head. Suddenly, she and her teammates heard a familiar voice that they feared the most.

A man in a red tuxedo with a face shaded in the shadows walked around a corner. It turned out that it was the boss of Team Rocket. Jessie, without being noticed, zoomed next to her boss and instantly pretended to be his shadow.

The boss, without noticing her, mumbled various things as he came to his door to his office and opened it. As he entered and closed the door, Jessie let out of small sigh of relief… until the door quickly opened again and accidentally slamming onto her, prompting more laughter from the audience.

“What? When did this happen?” the boss yelled into his cell phone. “I’ll be there right away!” With that, he slammed the door shut and hurried away. Jessie became incredibly dizzy and fainted with the paint that was covering her now printed on the door and wall.

Meanwhile, James and Meowth were chasing Jerry with mallets in their hands / paws. After spending some time chasing after him, James and Meowth decided to split and go into different direction in an attempt to catch Jerry out.

As Meowth stopped at a corner to look round, Jerry sneakily slipped a Pichu dummy on the cat’s tail and quickly ran away. Ash snickered at this--he knew what was coming up. May and Max noticed Ash's laughter and giggled as well as Jerry stopped running to take a breather. Meowth looked around another corner and spotted Jerry sitting on the floor. “Gotcha now, Pichu,” Meowth whispered.

As he slowly walked round that corner, James was coming round that same corner and spotted what he thought was Jerry…and he slammed his mallet on Meowth’s tail that had the Pichu dummy on it!

Meowth let out a loud scream in pain and then reacted by scratching James’s face like an angry cat. The audience howled with laughter as the scene focused on Jerry. “Pi he he! Pichu Pichu!” he laughed, while some subtitles appeared under him, translating the Pichu gibberish for the audience.

"Jerry said 'He he he! What dummies!'" Brock read the subtitles to Mizu. Mizu softly giggled as Jerry playfully ran away.

After minutes of recuperating, Team Rocket decided to set a trap for the little rat. First, they had to find a hole where Jerry would be hiding if he wasn’t stealing food from them. In no time at all, they spotted a small hole in a wall, indicating that it was Jerry’s mouse hole.

They drew an X on the floor and placed an anvil on it. They then tied a rope around the heavy object and managed to lift it up using a hook on the ceiling for leverage while hiding around the corner. Meowth, being creepy, placed a small piece of cheese on the cross for Jerry, tapped on the mouse hole and quickly zoomed back to his teammates to help them hold on to the rope.

As expected, Jerry came out of his hole and saw the cheese and began drooling at it, but he also spotted a foot around the corner, immediately seeing it as a trap. So, he zoomed back into the hole and came out holding a pizza box.

The Rockets saw what Jerry was holding and became curious of what it was. They began to smell something delicious coming from the box.

“Ah…” James moaned in a pleasant way. “Pineapple, ham, cheese…”

“Pepperoni, pepper, tomato…” Jessie continued.

“Not to mention anchovies…” Meowth said while drooling uncontrollably.

Jerry quickly replaced the cheese with the pizza box and zoomed back into his hole. Coincidentally, a siren sounded, indicating that it was…

“Lunch time!” the trio yelled as they ran to the pizza box… completely forgetting of what they were holding onto as the anvil crashed right top of them. The audience could barely contain itself as the falling Rockets created big holes on each incoming floor.

A few hours later, everyone of the Team Rocket base was called up to go the roof of the base. “There it is!” the boss yelled. “The legendary Zapdos!” His flunkies were standing in line behind him as they each held a bazooka gun each. In particular, Jesse, James and Meowth who were bandaged and stitched up caused by their mishap in their trap earlier on.

“That pizza box had nothing in it!” Jesse snarled in thought. “Not even a crumb!”

Suddenly, a Wobbuffet released himself from his pokeball and yelled out his name, catching the trio’s attention. “Wobbuffet!”

“Don’t you start!” Jessie snarled, unaware that Jerry was in the scene. The little mouse spotted a piece of rope on the floor and looked at Wobbuffet.

Meanwhile, the Lightning Bird pokemon was soaring through the sky as it screeched suspiciously at Team Rocket. “Get ready to aim!” the boss ordered. His flunkies did as he commanded as they aimed they bazookas at Zapdos, while Wobbuffet looked down on Jerry frantically motioning that it wanted Wobbuffet to hold the rope.

Curious of what Jerry wanted to do, Wobbuffet grabbed hold of the rope. “FIRE!” the boss’s voice shouted. Everyone did as he instructed as they fired out their bazookas, which were small spears with ropes tied to them. The trio turned to Wobbuffet as it was still holding the rope and wondered what the rope was tied to. After a few seconds, they finally knew that the rope was tied to one of the spears.

“WOBBUFFET!” they cried as they tried to get the blue blob to let go of the rope… but as they grabbed it the spear dragged them along with it!

Almost all of the spears missed the legendary pokemon but one of was able to wrap around Zapdos’s leg, but it managed to escape and flew away… along with the trio and Wobbuffet that was hanging on to the rope!

“Come back with my pokemon!” the boss yelled.

“Sorry, boss! But we’re flying off again!” the trio cried.

“Wobbuffet!” the blue blob cried.

Elsewhere, Jerry was sitting comfortably in his mouse hole as it heard the screaming of the trio and gave a small sigh. “Pichu! Pichu!” it squeaked randomly.

"Jerry says 'I like those guys.'” Brock explained to Mizu. He led the applause as the words "THE END" appeared on the screen.

"Thanks for joining us for this special preview...and now, our feature presentation." the female announcer proclaimed as the words "Feature Presentation" appeared on the screen in the same ornate font.

"Here we go...time for 'Pokeguardians'!" Brock smiled as he chomped on some popcorn. Mizu just smiled as the screen began to sing the long version of the 'Pokeguardians' theme song...when that concluded, the words "The First Journey" appeared on a black screen...

---------

"...so the Guardians have just defeated the monster." Misty explained to Umi as the Guardians discussed why Raisheal was having strange visions. "but they don't know why Raisheal's having the weird visions..."

"Zu." Umi smiled as she nibbled on a chocolate bar. Suddenly, she gasped as Raisheal collapsed to the floor. "AZU!" she yelped.

"SHHHH!!!!" Brock shushed Umi. "Quiet..."

"Azu zu ri?" Umi asked, pointing out a strange girl in the vision's fog.

"Watch and see..." Misty assured Umi as Hitenba, the Guardian of Charizard, explained: "Raisheal's probably receiving these visions from a parallell universe..."

---------

"Brock? Can you handle both babies for a while?" Misty asked as she delivered Umi to Brock. "I'm going to get a refill on popcorn...."

"Sure..." and Brock invited Umi into his lap. "Okay...now the Guardians have arrived in this other world..." he explained as the Pokeguardians crawled through a dense forest...until they were suddenly stopped by a girl clad in rainbow sailor-like armor.
"Han! No mahines pase!" she barked.

"Azu? Umi was confused.

"She's speaking the language of Mew..." Brock explained. "and what she said means 'Halt! No dark ones will pass.'"

"Zu ri?" Umi asked, pointing at the words explaining the Mew to the audience.

"Those are what's called subtitles...they tell the audience what the Mew means." Brock replied, annoyed that he was having to explain to Umi, watch the movie, and keep his popcorn away from Mizu at the same time.

Anu no mahine... Raisheal explained to the girl. "Anu ra tihane...

"I am not a dark one, I am a light one." Brock translated.

"Eramos tihanes..." Raisheal continued, gesturing to the other Guardians.

"We are all light ones." Brock continued to translate.

Ite, tihanes... my name is Termina." the girl replied.

"Hello, light ones...my name is Termina." Brock translated again.

"Anything happen?" Misty asked as she returned with more popcorn and took Umi from Brock.

"We just met Termina, Guardian of Mew..." Brock explained as he continued to eat his popcorn.

Several hours later...

"Wow! That battle was amazing!" Max raved as the group exited the theater later that afternoon.

"Azu azu ri azu!" Umi agreed as she twirled in Brock's arms.

"You liked it when Termina and Raisheal danced?" Brock smiled. "I did too."

"There was so much great music on there..." Ash raved. "I'm gonna have to learn to play some of it on my Pokeflute!" Everyone laughed as they continued down the path towards home...
