The day was sound as it could be. The forest was teeming with all sorts of life, the cloudy weather made it all the better. Sure, I had no one to walk with, but it was nice. It was also very relaxing from the recent gym battle that Watson put up. I continued to walk on route 301 to find new pokémon.

Unfortunately it wasn't to be. As I walked, something caught my attention, a moan that came from a clearing of bush. I decided to investigate and went in that location. "Wait, is that?" I gasped and dropped my jaw in amazement, A CHIKORITA!? I exclaimed in my thoughts. I rubbed my eyes to make sure I wasn't seeing things. The chikorita wasn't a mirage. I approached curious of how it got there. "When did this chikorita get here? But when I came closer for a better look...

My heart skipped a beat, something that made my gut shudder. Something that I thought was beyond imagining. The chikorita was in bad shape as there were tons of cuts and bruises on it, not to mention unconscious. I cursed myself for not bringing any medical supplies in case for such a situation. I had a nasty feeling that something wasn't right about this, but I shoved the feeling off thinking that was just paranoia.

I regretted those doing that immediately. "Better get- WHAAA!" *THUD*. I suddenly fell lost my footing and felt gravity pull me down. I landed rather roughly my back. The fall hurt, that I can tell you, and it took me a few a few seconds to adjust and focus on what just happened.

That pissed me off a bit, and the pain certainly didn't help my situation, but I examined the pitfall that I landed myself in. I searched the ruble and found some cloth. "Well, perhaps I can- Huh!? What the hell!?" I was in utter shock, that cloth had a certain emblem on it and one that no one wanted to ever see. I just stared at the cloth. Fear began to build up on. (I just need to stay calm, I must not panic. It won't do me or that chikorita any good.) The emblem belongs to the infamous Team Rocket, a criminal organization which committed various crimes in the Kanto and Johto region.

I questioned why they were here in this region. Why would Team Rocket come to where Team Magma and Team Aqua were? Surely they must have their hands tied with Kanto and Johto alone. I wonder, what is their motive? There is simply no reasoning behind it. Just then, I noticed that the emblem had something sketched to the top left of the cloth. "Science Division" "Since when did Team Rocket have separated workhouses?" No matter, pondering on the matter won't help me or chikorita. I need to contact the police and get chikorita to a pokemon center, fast.

"There must be something to help me out of here," I said searching for something to scale. Then I saw a root, tested it, and began to scale it. I began scaling the pit but as my luck would have it, it gave way halfway up, which followed with my body falling down with a thud.

"Give me a break!" I said sighing with both frustration and annoyance.

"This may take a while, poochyena go!"

Switching to third person as the scene pulls back.

As the energy reverted to solid form, the poochyena came out looking alert and defensive. Soren, as we now know him, released his other pokémon to keep a look out. These pokémon includeKipaul: A shy but calm mudkip which is Soren's starter pokémon, a little shy at times, but when needed, he will do what is needed to win the battle.

LittleStar: A swellow that flies like an eagle. He is also able to make quick decisions during intense combat. However, when angered, can be reckless even dangerous at times.

Ziggs: While he looks like a harmless, pathetic zigzagoon to trainers with an untrained eye, they find themselves usually in a battle trying to take him down. The reason is that Ziggs, while not as speedy as his evolution counterpart, he is a bit faster than the most zigzagoons; also, when in a tag battle with a helpful teammate, he does pretty well. Unfortunately, he has low attack power, so he has to use hit and run tactics to take his foes down.

Nyra: A beautifly with unusual healing powers. Nyra's healing powers are odd in a way that they also boost her abilities and her allies in battle. But they are a curse at the same time if her ability backfires. Sometimes, when under stress, frustrated, angry, or saddened, Nyra will sometimes released poison powder, stun spore, sleeping powder, and rarely an unknown powder or energy source which temporarily boost all stats of the team, but for a very limited time only.

Patch: A male poochyena who is very philosophical. Patch may be a fine fighter in battle, but he can use his mind and logic to gain an edge in battle. But it can also be useful outside of battle, sometimes more. He also cares for his teammates and is often the problem solver of the group and can act second in command if Mudkip isn't available. He can also be quick to cheer someone up be it pokémon or human being optimistic by nature. But, he is weak in his health and agility, which can lead to him getting KO'd if he is cornered.

Finally, we have Kyra, a female ralts. Another problem solver of the family, Kyra also serves as an advisor. Using her mind, when necessary, probe the mind of a human or pokémon to find important information. Kyra, for reasons unknown, was orphaned at an early age and raised by herself, the fate of her parents are unknown. When she was found by Soren and treated with kindness, Kyra joined Soren on his adventure along with the other pokémon.

He was about to order Kyra to help him out when Patch detected a sound about a few millimeters away. He signaled using his tail.

A few millimeters away, a search party was coming into view.

"Our radar has detected we have caught something."

"Damnit" Soren cursed.

(There is no way Kyra can pull me out in time, and from the sound of it, they must be Team Rocket.)

Soren had to quickly decide what to do, or risk else the capture of himself, the chikorita and his pokémon.

"Gah, there's no other way. I just hope I don't regret it.

"I may as well tell them to skedaddle" and say Soren told his pokémon to leave in the next sentence. "Gah!" would do on its own, as you would realistically say that out loud.))

Soren then proceeded to instruct his team to keep the chikorita alive, get way from here and save themselves. They were, needless to say, reluctant to leave their master, but they obeyed with one exception. Kipaul, who was hesitant to leave behind his master.

"Go Kipaul!" Soren yelled.

"Just get that chikorita to somewhere safe!"

"I am?"

"Just go!"

Kipaul ran with Kyra levitatingthe chikorita in hand along with the others to a safe location, unsure of what their master's fate would be.

"Damnit, why didn't I think that out more? Now there will be hell to pay."

By this time, the party that had a commander and five rocket grunts arrived and surrounded the hole.

"Pull him out and restrain him!" The commander barked. Two grunts complied with the order and cuffed his hands.

Soren kicked and pushed, but to no avail did he succeed.

"What do you want with me? Who are you? I have no value." Soren growled in anger and frustration.

The commander just laughed. "I am Sergeant Dixons, normally I would not even tell you my name but it's not that you will get to tell it about" he said in rough voice.

"Oh, you are our special guest of honor; we want you for a "special treatment. Best of all, you'll be the first one to receive this special treatment."

"But where is the Chikorita?"

"I have no-"He was punched before completing his sentence. "Bullshit, tell me or I will kill you!"

"You are in Hoenn genuine; Chikorita doesn't even live in this region."

"Bah, worthless scum, tranquilize him!"

Before Soren could even react, he was tranquilized. Before he lost consciousness, he thrown into a cage which read "Caution, do not touch this cage for the safety of your own being".

"What are we going to do with him commander?" A grunt asked.

"Oh, as I said, he will be our guest of honor. Now move it, we can't keep the doc waiting!"

Authors note: Well, I hope you approve of the new remastered ch1: Prologue.

I would especially like to thank Aos Dana and foxyjosh for their suggestions.

Now if you will, review anything that may need improvement.

I will also answer question or reviews that you have, speaking of which, poke-tf seeker has one of those reviews.

"Not bad for a first story. Your writing improves each new chapter, so it has some real potential. (Read chapter 4 if you don't want minor spoilers) My only problem is the transformation scene. It seems to me to be saying 'My body crunched and changed' over and over again. Then again, Chikorita transformations are rare, so I guess I should be happy you even made one"

Well, I know the transformation isn't that good. But hey, it's true that Chikorita transformations are rare so how can ya blame me? It's hard to imagine Chikorita TF after all. This is also the first time I am doing a TF as well, so I am a novice. Perhaps in the future, I will redo chapter 4. But for now, it stays the way it is.

Glauxspeed you guys!
