I forgot the disclaimer, so here goes, I own everything. Watches herd of scary lawyers closing in, Okay, all right, the only thing I own is the idea of meowth being Ash's pokemon instead of Team Rockets.

Meowth sat on Ash's chest, listening to the boy breathing. It had been three days and he still hadn't awoken, he was beginning to worry. The boy groaned, and sat up, knocking Meowth from his post. Quickly he ran to Nurse Joy's room, meowing loudly to get her attention. She followed him to the boy's room.

“Ah you're awake are you? You know you're really lucky, most pokemon don't get up from a multiple poison sting attack, never mind a person.”

“Where am I?”

“You're in the pokemon center in Pewter.”

“The last thing I remember was escaping those Beedrill. How'd I get to Pewter?"

"Your Meowth brought you in. He saved your life. If it wasn't for how quickly he got you here, you might not be here to be talking to me."

"Really? Thank you Meowth." The boy tried to get up, and groaned again as he fell back into his bed. "I guess I must have been injured more than I thought."

"There were no less than ten needles full of poison in your arm, so you just lay back down young man."

"Yes Ma'am." As Ash lay back down in another part of town, Team Rocket agents were looking on at the pokemon center.

"Do we have everything we need James?"

"I think so Jessie, but just in case, let's go over the checklist again."

"Weepinbell will put all of the pokemon and people asleep, and Wheezing will put up a smoke screen to disguise us from anyone who might escape from the sleep powder. Then we break into the center and steal all of the pokemon while everyone is sleeping!"

As Ash awoke again, he began to walk around. He smelled something strange, and yawned as his stomach growled. He had the strange urge to go back to bed, but he was more hungry than sleepy, so he started out of the room, smiling as he passed a sleeping Meowth in the doorway.

"I promise I'll be right back, so you just sleep okay?" he said to the Meowth as he stepped over the sleeping cat and into the hallway. He was a little surprised as he walked into the kitchen to see Joy, head down on the kitchen's island, snoring loudly. "She must be tired from treating me. I'll just get my own lunch." He opened the fridge, sighing as he realized that the only thing that was in there was pokemon food. Spotting a fruit bowl on the kitchen stove, he plucked an apple out and started munching as he walked back to his room.

"Hurry up James, that sleep powder is bound to be wearing off soon."

"This one Pikachu won't co-operate."

Then there was a loud "PIKAAA!" and the light of an electric attack lit up the room, stunning him momentarily. He shook his head to clear it, and when he could see again, one person, a boy with blue hair was lying on the floor, the other, a red haired girl, was still standing, and looking very pissed off.

"Wheezing, use smog!"

"Pikachu, use agility!" Ash yelled, hoping that the Pikachu would listen, and miraculously, it did. "Now Pikachu, use Thundershock."

"PIKA!" it yelled again, and the Wheezing just barely got out of the way.

"I'm not leaving without something. Wheezing, Smokescreen now!" The room filled with smoke and when it cleared, the woman was gone, and so were the pokemon. The boy with the blue hair, however, was still there. The strange smell in the air had faded now, and Ash no longer felt sleepy. He headed into the kitchen and carefully woke up Nurse Joy.

"What are you doing out of bed!"

"I'm sorry Nurse Joy, but these people were attacking the pokemon center and I couldn't just let them take the pokemon without a fight!"

"Still, you should be back in bed, not gallivanting around. Once you have rested some more, I'll talk to my sister Jenny and she can deal with these people. Now you go back to bed."

"Yes ma'am." She laughed and escorted Ash back to his room.

"Where's Meowth?" he asked, concerned when he didn't see Meowth sitting where he had been. "Where's my Meowth!" he was panicking now, worried for his friend, while not to far away, Jessie was smiling, looking the haul she had managed to grab, along with the small Meowth who was still sleeping peacefully.

End chapter

Ooh, Team Rocket is finally introduced, and so is Pikachu. So why did Pikachu obey Ash? Well, lets say that because Meowth is now Ash's main pokemon, Pikachu is just a normal Pikachu who happens to have a resistance to sleep powder attacks. I know, I know, it's a little to convenient, but hey, why can't things conveniently happen for Ash? I mean they always are.
