Another relic from my defunct Transformers fansite, where I kept a bunch of writings from alt.toys.transformers. This one was the first fanfic I ever wrote. (I did draw a lot of fancomics in my younger days, though.) And you can guess what the topic is from the title.

In my defense, I never really followed the Pokémon TV show and I’ve only seen a few movies. Also, this was written November 20, 1999, so those of you who follow the show’s US airing closer than I do will know how many of this is countered by the show. Not that this has stopped every fan fiction ever. I’m also not the first person to mash Pokémon and Transformers, especially after Hasbro obtained the license for Pokémon toys. Sadly, while we’ve gotten Star Wars and Marvel Comics Transformers, we haven’t gotten Beast Wars-style transforming toys of everyone’s favorite pocket monsters.

I’ll say it right now, this fanfic isn’t very good. I don’t think it’s horrid, or I wouldn’t be posting it. That doesn’t mean I think it’s that good, and it is the worst of the fanfics I wrote for The Transformation Zone. This being Thanksgiving I guess not that many people will see it, so I’m not even going to update the thing like I will others. The best you’re getting are spelling and grammar errors that don’t match what I remember of the characters, as well as some formatting repair. Also, it’s in a script-style layout, just to warn you. So, here we go. I’d say enjoy but I know better than that.

Pokémon Wars: Transformers

NOTE: This story takes place early on during the original series (aka”The Road to Indigo”). Following what happens later on will take all the fun out of the story for you Pokéfans. ^_^)

{It’s a bright day as our heroes journey to yet another Pokémon competition. And Ash and Misty are getting along as usual.}

MISTY: “All I want is my bike back. I don’t think I’m asking for much.”

ASH: “No, but that’s all you’ve asked for for the past few months. It’s not my fault. I told you how it happened.”

MISTY: “So? You promised to return it. And I’m still waiting.”

{Suddenly, Brock notices a strange-looking antenna poking out of a hillside}

BROCK: “Hey guys, take a look at this.”

ASH: “Hey you got it back, didn’t you?”

BROCK: “Guys, I….”

MISTY: “Yeah, but in burnt pieces!”

BROCK: “Hey, will you two listen a minute?”

ASH: “Fine! You tell me how to get some money to pay for it. All the competition money goes into food, lodging, and supplies!”

MISTY: ” Yeah, supplies to make you ‘The World’s Greatest Pokémon Trainer’. That’s all you talk about!”

ASH: “And all YOU talk about is that dumb bike! And what about your make-up, little Ms ……”

BROCK: {shouting} “WILL YOU TWO JUST SHUT YOUR MOUTHS FOR ONE MINUTE!!!!!!”

ASH & MISTY: “What!”

BROCK: “Take a look at this.”

{The threesome look at the antenna and the object attached to it, which Pikachu has just dug out of the hill.}

ASH: “What do you think it is?”

MISTY: “Hmmm. Not sure.”

BROCK: “I’ve never seen it before.”

FEMALE VOICE: “Whatever it is, we’ll take it!”

MALE VOICE: “Right so hand it over, or face your superiors.”

ASH: “Oh no. Not them again.”

“To protect the world from devastation
To unite all people within our nation
To denounce the evils of truth and love
To extend our reach to the stars above
Jessie
James
Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light
Surrender now or prepare to fight
JUST GIVE US THAT NOW!!!!”JAMES: (whispering) “Umm, Meowth, that’s not your li….”

MEOWTH: “Just shut up! I want that device now, losers. Give it up or else!”

JESSIE: (whispering to James) “Did he get up on the wrong side of the bed this morning?”

JAMES: “He got a bed? We slept in shoeboxes last night!”

ASH: “I don’t know what this is, but we won’t let Team Rocket have it! Will we, Pikachu?”

PIKACHU: “Pika pika pikachu.”

JESSIE: “Get it now!”

{James lunges at Ash, misses him and falls on the device, crushing it and knocking Pikachu to the ground. The little Pokémon cries out in pain.}

JESSIE: “You idiot! I meant sick your Pokémon on them!”

JAMES: “Well, that’s not what you said.”

ASH: “Pikachu are you alright?”

PIKACHU: “Feeling prime, Ash.”

{Everyone stares at Pikachu.}

MEOWTH: “So now that the inhibitor is destroyed you finally reveal yourself–Optimus Pika! Fine. I shall avenge myself on you for the glory of the Pokécons. Meowthatron–TERRORISE!”

{The humans stare at amazement as Team Rockets’ Meowth suddenly transforms into a robot.}

MEOWTHATRON: “Prepare to perish, you wuss!”

JESSIE: “I didn’t know he could do that, did you?”

JAMES: “Nope. Not a clue.”

PIKACHU: “Don’t count on it. We Maximons will always win. Optimus Pika–MAXIMISE!”

{Suddenly, Ash’s Pikachu also transforms.}

ASH: “Wait a minute, what’s going on here? Pikachu?”

OPTIMUS PIKA: “Sorry Ash, I don’t have the full story here.”

MEOWTHATRON: “Permit me, then. We are actually robots from the planet Cybertron, years into your future. We came here seeking Energon, the fuel we live on, but I was prepared to deny my enemy this power. We developed a way to disguise ourselves as mere Pokémon, but I created a device that locked Optimus in his Pikachu mode, and he forgot who he was. That is until dimwit here broke the inhibitor.”

JAMES: “Hey! I resemble that remark!”

JESSIE: “You sure do; now clamp it!”

MEOWTHATRON: “I planned to finish him off easily in his Pokémon mode. Unfortunately, I lost track of him. Until now!!! So I guess I’ll have to do this the old-fashioned way.”

OPTIMUS PIKA: “Don’t count on it, scrap heap!”

MISTY: “So that’s why Meowth could talk–because he wasn’t really a PokéMON, he was a PokéCON!”

MEOWTHATRON: “Meowth, that’s right. And now, prepare to perish, Maximon!”

{The two Pokémon Transformers battle on as the humans look on in amazement. Finally Meowthatron gets the drop on Optimus Pika.}

MEOWTHATRON: “Ha! At long last! It’s over, Pika.”

OPTIMUS PIKA; “Never!”

{Optimus lunges at Meowthatron and sent him flying. Ash grabs a spare Pokéball and captures the robot.}

OPTIMUS PIKA: “Thank you Ash.”

ASH: “Hey, Pokémon or Maximon, you still my Pikachu!”

MISTY: “Come on guys. Maybe we can sell him for a new bike or something.”

BROCK: “Here we go again.”

{Our heroes walk off with their prize, while Team Rocket stands there, dumbfounded.}

JAMES: “How are you going to explain this to the boss?”

JESSIE: “Me? What do you mean me?”

JAMES: “Well, you the one who usually does that. You are the cute one. (Like you keep telling me.)”

JESSIE: “You’re cute too. Why don’t YOU explain it?”

JAMES: “Well, because he’ll listen to you, since you’re a girl and he’s…well…not a girl…and …. umm…”

JESSIE: “Never mind. WE don’t have to tell the boss anything. I’ve got a plan to get Meowth…”

JAMES: “MeowthATRON.”

JESSIE: “Whatever. Anyway, I know how to get him back!”

>>>TO BE CONTINUED?[]

No, no it won’t. I actually did have two more stories in mind that would eventually reset everything, but not until after Meowthatron and Optimus Pika evolved into a Pursian and Raichu, showing I did know something about the game. (I actually have the Yellow edition not because it matched the show but because it had the Pokémon I wanted. Never finished even half the game.)

I have no plans to ever finish this now, though. I lost interest in it long ago and I’m not into it now, either. Still, I wanted to get it out, and now it is. Another artifact from the old site transferred. The next few fanfics will be better. Maybe.
