19A/N: This is the final Chapter for this fic, I will either write a sequal or a prequal. I'm leaning in favor of the sequel.
The Go-Getters, Ash, Pichu, Misty, Brock, May, and Max finally reached Professsor Oak's Pokemon Sanctuary, where they were waiting for Max to re-evolve Pichu back into Pikachu. Max rummaged through his back pack, looking for something. He eventually found a blue candy bar and handed it to Pichu.
"Rare Candy?" Wartortle said. "That stuff is rare, but it tastes pretty good." Wartortle tasted rare candy when he was still a Squirtle. It was a bit very sweet, but sour at the same time.
Max smiled and adjusted his eye glasses just a bit. "I read that it's the antidote for the de-evolution beam's effects. The special nutrients and vitamins in rare candy null the radiation produced by the weapon, thus canceling the de-evolution beams effects." Max explained. Although no one seemed to understand him and sweat dropped. Just how smart can a kid get? "Well go on Pichu, so you can be a Pikachu again."
"Right!" The former and soon to be Pikachu responded. Pichu unwrapped the candy wrapper and nibbled at the sweet, for Pokemon candy. As soon as he took the last bite, he felt energy and light coursing through his body. He felt that his appendages and other body parts were getting bigger and longer. The bright light consumed him and once it was gone, he was a Pikachu again! "PIKACHU!" Pikachu sent off bolt of electricity to celebrate his transformation.
"Hey Pikachu, good to see you back to normal." Ash told his starter as he gave him a hug.
Pikachu seemed to giggle. "Ash, since when have we ever been normal?"
Ash, knowing every word a Pikachu could ever say, understood even with out Wartortle as a translator. "You know what I mean."
"Well, what should we do now? The Gyms and Contests are still closed!" May told her group, not noticing three particular Pokemon were missing.
"We'll decide that later." Brock told her. "But look on the bright side, more practice time. Oh and if you guys need me, I'll be cooking at the Ketchum residense."
"Right, Combusken, Bulbasaur, Munchlax, time for some extra training. Drew won't know what hit him!" May released her Pokemon and began thinking of new moves and combinations.
"I'll take these to the Professor." Max lifted the disc case from the raid earlier and headed to Professor Oak's Labratory.
Misty was the first to notice there were people missing. "Hey Ash, the Go-Getters, they're gone." She said as she pulled on Ash's shoulder. "We should say to them thanks before they go.
"You're right Mist." Ash said, then told her in a low voice. "I still can't believe Wartortle was once human. Maybe we should help him find out about himsself. Pikachu, can you track 'em?"
"Of course I can. Haven't you always wondered how is it I can find you ketchup stash?" Pikachu told his trainer, who just seemed slightly disturbed. "The headed south." Ash, Pikachu, and Misty decided it would be best if they gone with out the others, since they were the only ones who knew about Wartortle's former life. They followed the electrical mouse towards the shore line, seeing what looked like a ship run by Pokemon in the distance.
The Go-Getters stared blankly as they saw the ship come from the horizon. Captain Poliwrath must have been informed by the Porygon2's about the mission completion and rushed quickly to pick up the Go-Getters. Even though they were a Pokemon Rescue Team and had to reutrn to home base, they wanted to stay and explore. Meganuim wanted to stay or have better contact with her sister and help any one who needs it. Wartortle wanted to find out about himself and his human life. And Charmeleon, even though afraid of some trainers, was fascinated by them.
"Well this is it guys." Wartortle commented. "We may never come back."
Meganuims sobbed a bit. "I'll miss my sister."
"Cheer up guys, it doesn't matter where we go, as long as we have each other. We're like a family, you said that Wartortle, when we started this mission." Charmeleon told his friends. Then he nodded his head. "No we're not like a family, we are a family. We're borthers and sisters, and we act like it too."A chamrleon showing signs of intelligence is a rare moment, normally they're savage and wrathful.
"Yeah I guess so...Huh?" Wartortle relised that his language changes is there is a human near by, so that means there were humans near by. Wait, this means there are humans near by.He turned his gaze behind him and saw two faces that knew of his secret. "Ash? Misty? Pikachu?"
"That's us." Pikachu said to the Go-Getters
Ash gave Wartortle a pat on the back. "We're here to thank you. So thank you!"
"And if we find anything about your human life, we'll tell you." Misty said.
Wartortle smiled knowing that he had human friends, something he was sure he never had. But smiles turned to frowns. "We're going to soon, even though we don't want to. I want to find out about myself, Meganuim wants to have better contact with her sis, and Charmeleon, believe it or not, wants to become some , good bye." Knowing the chances of meeting again were slim, each of them wished they could meet again.
The humans left and soon the ship came. Captain Poliwrath came down from his ship to meet with the Go-Getters."I trust the mission was successful?" The Go-getters nodded. "Good are you all ready for another mission?""Another mission, this fast? Where is it?" Meganuim asked.
"Here. This mission won't be any other, for you see, you are going to be assigned to be with Ash Ketchum and his companions. We felt it best for you to permanently keep a close eye on him. Besides, I think friends need to stick together, don't you?" The Go-Getters nodded, happily knowing they could stay here for a while longer. "Good." Poliwrath then pulled out a device that looked similar to a Pokedex, only silvery. He threw it to Wartortle, who caught it with ease. "It's called a PDA, an import from Orre. I'll be sending you information and missions that you can accomplish while here. Good bye." He turned towards his ship and began steering it out into the deep sea. An hour later, it was no long seen on the horizon.
Ash, Misty, and Pikachu made their way into the Ketchum residence for a good night's sleep. The events on this day were hectic and need some time to clear out. Brock was htting on every pretty girl he sees, Max was going through every book he could find, and Max was thinking on new ways to train. Ash, Pikachu, and Misty were still wondering about Wartortle and the other Go-Getters.
Ash just sighed thinking about the time he was turned into a Pikachu. He almost though he would never return to normal and then wondered if he never changed back if he would forget even his own name like Wartortle did. Ash then remembered Wartortle actually wanted to stay this way. I guess that's the life he wants to live. Just then the bell rang. "Who could be would ring our door bell at this late hour? Coming Misty?" He called to one of his first traveling companions.
"Coming Ash." Misty told him. The pair made their way to the front door and opened it. Standing before them were the Go-Getters, with smiles plastered on their faces.
"You didn't think you could get rid of us that easily?" Wartortle told them. "Well, I guess we'll be traveling together. We've got orders and 'we' accept them." He said with a laugh. Ash and Misty laughed at the news.
THE END, FOR NOW...
