Well, this is my first fanfic story. The first chapter, I know, sounds nothing like what this should be about according to the summary, but I am not very good at introductions, and it usually takes me some time to get into the main plotline. I am very sorry about this. Anyways, please review and let me know if I missed out on any of Ash's pokemon before he left for Sinnoh, cause I kinda don't remember much :)

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this first chapter. The first half is just because I just wanted to create a scene where all of Ash's pokemon just... live together.

It's been a while since Ash left his Hoenn pokemon at Oak's Lab in Kanto.

So… what were they all doing?

'No, noo, no, if you do that again, I will - don't you dare - AAAAAAAAAHH!'

So while Bulbasaur was vine whipping Heracross for sucking on his bulb, yet again, Kingler, Muk, Cyndaquil, and Totodile were fighting over who could cut an apple in half the best. Moments ago, a Hoppip and an Oddish asked them to cut it for them, so… well, the argument continues.

'But they asked me first~' Cyndaquil cried.

'Well, they only did that 'cause you looked less threatening!' Kingler sighed.

'Hey, how is that a bad thing~?' Cyndaquil sweat dropped.

'Oh, this is such a GREAT sign of FRIENDSHIP!' Torkoal sobbed, coming out of nowhere, 'A group of old friends… the arguing and fighting are all a cover for an undeniable friendship between you guys… it's just so BEAUTIFUL to see -'

'Yeah, yeah, nice and all, but I'm going to wash my face now,' Totodile said.

'I am SO sorry for the smoke but -'

'Okay, we get it.'

Swellow and Corphish were battling each other over who was a better fighter. As Swellow prepared its Wing Attack, Glalie hit it with an Ice Beam for no reason at all.

'STOP CHASING ME!' Bulbasaur yelled.

'Seriously, just give ME the stupid apple!' Kingler sighed again.

'NOOOOOOO~!' Cyndaquil cried.

'It's not my fault! I can't control Ice Beams!' Glalie laughed at Swellow.

'… Let's just find an orange,' Oddish whispered to Hoppip and ran away, using the ability run away?

And Noctowl was sleeping.

Well, amidst all the great fun that they, or some of them, at least, were having, Sceptile leaned back on a tree and watched. With his arms folded. And with a twig in his mouth. And with the thought that this was terribly fun to watch.

Bayleef walked around the property doing nothing much, really, until she heard the voices of pokemon becoming louder and louder, and then, human voices. Voices that sounded familiar. She raced towards the sound.

Team Rocket launched the fat meowthalloon on the field.

"Prepare for trouble... and make it d-owww!" James cried. Muk was happily hugging him.

"Hey, back off, filthy pokemon… thing… slime…? Whatever, we're here to, as you all know by now, steal anything we can~!" Jessie smiled widely. "Now, where is that -"

"WOOOOBBUFFET."

"No. Not you."

"Wobb..."

"Get back in your little pokeball!" Meowth said, "Ahem, anyways, since that twerp and the tall twerp along with the new twerp's all busy catchin' them pokemon from Sinnoh, we thowght of this genius plan. Dumb twerps would never've thowght we'd come and get all ya little poketwerps. 'Tis only a plan worthy of Team Rocket," Meowth smirked, tapping his foot.

'Hey, aren't those the two Ash always tells us to fight?' Heracross asked.

'Yeaaaaah, it got kind of boring after a few times,' Swellow said.

'Well, what are they up to now?' Torkoal sniffed.

'You even hear? They said they want to catch us while Ash's in Sinnoh,' Totodile said.

'They always want Ash's pokemon for some reason,' Sceptile came and said.

'What do we do now, then?' Kingler sidewalked towards the commotion.

'Just give 'em a little nudge,' Bulbasaur yawned, 'to, you know, blast them off. Again.'

"...What are they squabbling about..." Jessie stomped her foot, "Dustox, I choose you!"

"Dustox!"

It flew towards Corphish with Poison Sting. Corphish dodged some of it but took most of the attack full on. Corphish was sent backwards but regained balance, swept a Crabhammer, missed, and got a mild Tackle attack from Dustox again. It tried another Crabhammer, hitting Dustox badly. Duxtox sent a badly aimed Poison Sting, missed, and fainted after a Vice Grip from Corphish.

'Your trainer has good skills, to train you guys like this,' Duxtox mumbled.

"Return, Duxtox," Jessie clenched her teeth, said to James, "Let's go. There's plenty of other pokemon here."

Hopped into the meowthalloon, off they went.

'Excuse me...?' A timid Jumpluff appeared.

'Um, I saw a Bayleef fighting with this strange spiky pokemon. I think,' Jumpluff paused, 'it was called a Carnivine.'

'A Bayleef?' Cyndaquil asked. 'Why did you come to us, Jumpluff?'

'I mean, I saw it with this group of pokemon, so I thought I should let you know. But it's nothing to worry about, I mean, I don't think it's very strong. It had these spikes that looked really sharp, but -'

'Let's go!' All the pokemon shouted and stampeded off.

'Um, but, Bayleef is doing well, she's winning, so...there's nothing to worry about, I guess...' Jumpluff looked confused, then she left.

And Noctowl was sleeping.
