Jason PrologueJason and the Fleece of HoennPrologueThe man huffed and panted as he moved forwards. He thought he had reached the limits of his endurance hours ago, but somehow he found the strength to trudge onward. He was confident that he had evaded his pursuers back in the twists and turns of Mount Silver. His cargo was precious, however, and the long journey had brought the two infants he was carrying enough suffering. He needed to reach his destination before nightfall and Viridian Forest was unfamiliar territory.Lucario. He had to find Lucario and hope that he would take them and raise them. If he refused, the man had no strength to continue, and both the human infant and the Pokémon hatchling would surely die.And the hope of his people would die with them.
Jason 1 JasonJason and the Fleece of HoennChapter 1 – Jason's DecisionJason examined his situation carefully. They were in a small clearing, the ground covered with sticks, stones and sparse vegetation. Around them was the forest. Buff was up ahead, imprisoned beneath a branch too heavy for her to lift. She had been trapped there by Lucario, who was now standing about half way between Jason and his butterfree. Quil was standing next to him, ready for his command. He had to act quickly.“Ember!”Aiming for his opponent, Quil shot out a burst of flame from his mouth. Jason knew how strong Lucario was. Against such an opponent, Jason would have preferred a stronger attack, but he didn’t want to set the forest on fire. It would endanger every Pokémon within a mile radius, let alone the very Pokémon he was trying to rescue. Furthermore, a direct physical attack would not work on Lucario, who was much tougher than Quil.The burst was we
Jason 2 Jason's DecisionJason and the Fleece of HoennChapter 2 – Jason's DecisionOutside, the sun was setting and the evening cool was setting in. Jason lit the lamp on the table while Lucario served everyone their dinner. At first the last rays of the daylight coming in through the window outshone the lamplight, but gradually, as the sun pushed itself down across the horizon, the cabin was bathed in a dim, yellow glow.They ate silently. In spite of all he had done that day, Jason had lost his appetite and could only eat half his food. Quil, who had been woken up for dinner, had noticed the subdued atmosphere and sat himself quietly, curling up at Jason’s feet. After dinner, Jason went to his bed while Lucario, quite unusually, undertook the washing up, and then started the evening fire. He broke the silence.“Before you came I wouldn’t mind the cold of night, just like any other Pokémon. Since I had to keep you warm at night so you wouldn’t freeze
Jason 3 Mt SilverJason and the Fleece of HoennChapter 3 – Mt SilverAfter three days travelling at night and hiding and sleeping during the day in order to avoid being seen, Lucario, Jason, Quil and Buff finally arrived at the uninhabited mountainous region separating Kanto and Johto. The three Pokémon in the team tried as much as possible to eat wild berries in order to preserve their food, since they could not carry enough for everyone to last the entire journey. They drank from and refilled their canteens whenever they passed a clean enough stream. They encountered many wild Pokémon, but Jason’s group minded their own business and the wild Pokémon tended to mind their own.Once in the uninhabited wildlands, they had to travel by daylight as the terrain quickly became difficult and they could not afford any accidents or injuries stumbling over rocks and roots in the dark of night. Furthermore, Lucario was worried that Pokémon there were unaccust
You Win Some, You Lose Some"Yes boss... No boss... Yes boss... Don't worry, everything's ready, we'll get that Pikachu."James returned the handset and stepped out of the phonebooth. There was a glazed look on his face."What did 'e say?" asked Meowth."We better catch that Pikachu—or else.""Or else what?" asked Jessie, a hint of fear in her brow."We'll be blasting out of Team Rocket—permanently.""Don't worry Jimmy, my plan's gonna woik just fine. Now get to ya places. The twoips are gonna be here any minute."♦ ♦ ♦"You sure this is going to work, Brock. I'm scared.""Pika pika!" echoed Pikachu, its ears drooping and a worried look on its face."Don't worry Misty," said Ash, "we're finally going to get rid of them.""Yeah, I wouldn't worried," said Brock. "We'll be fi—"Before Brock could finish his sentence, the famous foursome's ground disappeared from beneath their feet. Misty and Pikachu screamed as they all fell into a pit. Brock grunted when Ash fell on top of him.A
Pearl and Diamond's Evolution GagsDiamond was sitting on his couch, watching TV with Bē and enjoying his favourite anime, Taurina Omega. A half-empty plate of sesame-flavoured mochi was still on the table. Next to it, there were several more plates, already emptied of their various delicacies. Bē picked up the plate with the remaining snacks and poured them down his throat.Diamond, on the other hand, was looking queasy.Ping pong! The doorbell rang. Diamond went to get it, and found Pearl at the door, Perahiko perching on his shoulder. The ever exuberant Pearl pulled out a flier from his pocket and showed it to his friend. Diamond uncreased it as best he could and scanned it quickly. His eyes lit up."A Laugh-a-lot competition next week!" announced Pearl. "Let's start practicing now!""OK... but... I think I had too many mochi," complained Diamond."I still expect you to practice," said Pearl. He was determined to enter next week's contest and he was desperate this time to win."Do we have to? I'm not

My Fiery FriendDo you still recall that cold and stormy night?When you were lost, alone, I helped to make things right.You looked up to me, my friend, and I raised you.Through good times and through hard we'd see each other through.Then when you grew, you changed. You'd do things on your own.You thought that you were strong; you made me feel alone.I still remember how you let me down that day,when you refused to fight, and I fell down dismayed.My fiery friend I never knew that you would bring me so much pain.But to have you by my side once more I'd gladly do it all again.I foolishly believed when on the beach that daythat I could make you do whatever I would say.But you got into strife; yes you were foolish too.I stayed up all night long and helped you make it through.My fiery friend I never knew that you would bring me so much pain.But to have you by my side once more I'd gladly do it all again.We fin'lly understood the need to work as one.We found we need each other.

The PolitoedWhile walking down the road,wild Pidgey flying above,I saw a Politoed,whose trainer'd push and shove."Stop that!" I yelled at him,"For it has feelings too!"Said he--eyes turning grim--"Your own business mind you!""Dear man, I cannot letyou treat this Pok'mon so"I reached down to my belt."Vaporeon, Raichu, go!"His eyes showed stubborn pride"How dare you challenge me!"He threw from his own sideKadabra and Gastly.Attacks flew left and righta thunderbolt, psywave,and swiftly in their flightan ice beam, and night shade.Electric power and ghost,with ice and psychic tooall coincided andthe world turned ghostly blue.When strange blue light did fadeThe sev'n of us were therebut nothing else aboutdid match our world so fairThe skies were shades of grey.The grass had disappeared.The trees had turned to rocks.And horrid creatures neared."Where are we now?
