Episode 1 - "Travelling To Paradise"

Our story starts in Sinnoh, in the Pokémon World. Ash, Dawn and Brock are walking through the region in order to reach their goals. They have to face two evil teams on a daily basis: Team Rocket and Team Galactic.

Team Galactic is a group formed by a bunch of lunatics who want to travel to new worlds. Team Rocket is a badass team of villains which have plans for world domination! Jessie, James and Meowth are the representatives of the team in Sinnoh.

Ash, Misty and Brock are, along with Officer Jenny, investigating an abandoned warehouse because some Team Galactic grunts were spotted there. Jessie, James and Meowth are also there. However, they are already spying on Team Galactic, while the main heroes of Pokémon are still trying to find some clues of Team Galactic's whereabouts.

- What are they doing? - says Jessie, intrigued.
- I have no idea, but I think this won't be a regular story of Pokémon. - says James, while focused on Team Galactic.

Charon, Mars and six Team Galactic grunts are in a big room around a weird machine. It was a black device with something resembling a big hole in the middle of it. Looking twice at it, we could see that it isn't a hole, it is a dark glass, thiner than the usual. What was it?

- Do you think this will work? - Mars says.
- I hope it does. If it doesn't, we have to start everything over! But I am pretty confident that we were able to find another way to give Cyrus what he wants. - Charon smiles confidently.

- Cyrus? - points Meowth.
- That doesn't matter now, leave it to the final Team Galactic arc. - Claims Jessie, while curious to hear Charon.

- We will try it now. Mars, turn it on! - screamed Charon.
Suddenly, the machine starts to make some noises and shine very brightly and the dark thin glass seemed to have now a different color!

- What is that? - James is very surprised!

The hotchpotch of colors is starting to gain a form. Suddenly, blue started to go to the top, gray to the middle of it and green to the lower part of it. We could see some buildings from it, even if a bit (not very) far. And grass was showing. It was the real world! Everyone was surprised, except for Charon.

- Argh. This isn't it! I'm sorry, but we failed.
- But... This is so beautiful! - said a female grunt.
- It certainly is, and it is also something big for Science. But I'm afraid we won't be able to do anything with this at the moment.

Suddenly, a Thunderbolt hits the ground near them.
- Good, Pikachu! Now, Team Galactic, you are under arrest for theft of lab material! - said Officer Jenny as she entered the room with Ash's Pikachu on her shoulder.

- Thing will be harder now! Jessie, James, let's quickly grab that machine and take it to the Boss! Imagine what Team Rocket could do with it! Picture it: the Boss is tired of dealing with the likes of Cassidy and Biff and he wants to... - Meowth starts with a Boss Fantasy but Jessie interrupt him.
- No time for that! Let's grab it!
- Yeah! - say James and Meowth
- Wobbuffet! - It pops out of its Poké Ball as it says its name.

The trio jumps from the place where they were hiding and run at the machine, while bringing chaos to the place!
- Seviper, Haze!

- What it that? Team Rocket is also here!? - says Jenny, while covering her eyes.

- No! What's going on here? - Mars yells.

- We appear from beneath this cloud of smoke!... - says Jessie, while stopping and grinning.
- A thunder of trouble is certainly our cloak! - concludes James.
- On the wind!
- Past the stars!
- No time for jokes! - interrupts Meowth. - We have to get going, there is no time for the motto!
- But I thought that this would be a variation!... - says James.
- Why aren't we able to say the motto every time Team Galactic is near us? - points out Jessie.

- Staraptor, Whirlwind! - Ash is able to clear the effects of Haze. Team Rocket shudders.
- Buneary, Ice Beam! - Dawn is able to stop every Team Galactic member from moving.
- Now for Team Rocket! Gible, use Draco Meteor! - Gible starts to use the move
- No, don't use that move, Ash, we are not outside! - Brock wisely says. But it is too late, meteors are already coming out of Gible's mouth.

- Stupid kids! Now everything will collapse, hurry, let's get out! Tangrowth, grab Team Galactic and take them with us outside. And where is Team Rocket? - Officer Jenny looks at them.
- LOOK OUT! - Dawn warns Team Rocket because part of the ceiling was going straight at them!

Jessie, James, Meowth and Seviper fear hug!
- Whoa! - Jessie, James and Meowth scream.
- This time we will be gone for good! And I didn't even have lunch. - James complains.

But right before hitting them, Wobbuffet, which was looking at everything without any signs of fear, jumps to the front and a brilliant orange aura appears around him.

- It's Counter! - Brock tells.

However, Team Rocket's problems started because of it. It backfires the falling part of the ceiling to a big box, which proceeds to explode. The explosion was small, it didn't even reach the twerps. However, it made Team Rocket blast off. But they weren't going to the stars above, oh no. They went STRAIGHT to the machine, which was intact.
As they touched the thin glass, they vanished. They went... To the other side!

- We're blasting off... to another world?

Just as they entered the other world, the rest of the ceiling felt and the machine was destroyed.

- Oh boy. - said Charon.

Team Rocket fall on a small bit of grass, without any kind of wound.
- Whew, this could have ended up worse! - James breathes.
- James... Look around... - Meowth is very surprised.

They were in a place with no animation. There was a lot of make-up and CGI, sure, but it wasn't animated.

- Where do you think you are? WHAT IS THIS? How can we return? - Jessie seems desperate.
- Jessie, this surely isn't Sinnoh, it doesn't even seem to be the Pokémon World, I think that those galactic freaks really opened a door to another world... - Meowth concludes.
- But... We have no business with this place! We need to return to Sinnoh, we never wanted a new world!
- We cannot do anything now. We have to stay here and wait for them to re-open the passage between both worlds. - Meowth is calm.
- Well... I suppose you're right. There is no need to be stressed, they need us for Black and White so they will have to rescue us. - James grabs a rose and maliciously smiles. Jessie also seems to be calm now.

They sit on the grass below them and look around. They seem to be in the suburbs of a city, but not very far from some big buildings. They are on someone's garden. However, there is something fishy about it: they seem to be in the middle of a Summer day but they can't seem any movement.

- Well, how long do you think we're going to stay here? - wonders Jessie.
James answers:
- I have no idea! But this place doesn't seem bad, what if we...
- Explore it? - finishes Meowth.
- Yes! We may find some useful things for Team Rocket.
- Let's go! - they all enthusiastically shout!
- Also, I suppose there is nobody here to stop us, this places seems dead... - says Meowth.

The Scratch Cat Pokémon had no idea that he was righter than he thought he was...

They all stand up and start walking. They decide to head for the center of the city, which didn't seem very far, as they could see a bunch of buildings. As soon as they start walking, they see someone. It was a woman, with long hair. She was with her back turned to Team Rocket.

- Look! There is someone there! Should we disguise ourselves? - James asks.
- No, don't worry about that, they have no idea of what Team Rocket is, it's not that they will arrest us! - Meowth says.

But, without warning, the woman turns to them. Then, she starts to walk towards them.
- She's horrible! Look at that face! - Jessie is shocked! - are these the people from this world?

The woman is getting near, but Jessie, James and Meowth don't seem frightened, though we can't say the same for Wobbuffet, which shouts "Wobbu!!" and pops into its Poké Ball.

- What's happening, Wobbuffet?

They were able to hear a "Graaah" and then the idea that something might be wrong with that scene came to their minds!

- Is she trying to attack us? Don't tell me they know us! - Jessie starts to panic.
- Calm down, let me ask her: Hey, citizen of this world, we are visitors from another place.
- Meowth, I'm not sure she understands you...

The woman grabs Jessie's arm!
- Whoa, she smells! Let me go, now!

The woman opens her mouth and James realizes that she is trying to use Bite attack on Jessie!
- She'll bite you, Jessie! - James quickly grabs the woman's head, preventing her from biting Jessie!
- Argh, what's going on? - Jessie is furious! - Seviper, Poison Tail, now!
Seviper appears and Poison Tails the woman, freeing Jessie.

The woman falls, but she is still moving and quickly stands up to attack once more time. Meowth realizes that she only has one ear and that her body seems to be in decomposition.
- She doesn't even seem alive! What is happening here? - Meowth is shocked.
- That does not matter now! Help us get rid of her! - James orders Meowth.
- Right!

Meowth grabs a bazooka and points at the woman. She was once again trying to bite Jessie and James was trying to defend Jessie with his Carnivine's Vine Whip, which was preventing the woman's movements.

- Look out, get away from her, NOW! - Meowth triggered his bazooka as soon as Jessie, James, Seviper and Carnivine jumped away from the strange woman.

A big blob of glue came out of Meowth's bazooka and once it touched the woman her movements ceased totally!
- Nice move, Meowth! - James congratulated the Pokémon.

- What is this? Is everyone like this in this world? - Jessie is still furious.
- Well, I think I know what's going on... - Meowth is serious.
- What do you mean? - Jessie and James ask at the same time.
- Do you remember that video clip we saw the other day?
- Do you mean... Thriller? - They both say.
- Yes, precisely. She was indeed a Zombie, as the ones from Michael Jackson's video.
- Yes, she did smell, as if she was dead... - Jessie said.
- She was trying to eat us or something, let's be careful with this, let's be careful not to be bitten by these dead walking people. - James was worried.
- Yes... Let's be careful with the... With the... - Meowth breathed - The Walking Dead!...
