The Two Shiny Pokemon,

Saffron Contest,

And James's Childhood home

While on the way to Saffron City, the gang had come to a forest. Here May planned to try and catch more pokemon for the Kanto contests; sure she thought her pokemon were brilliant but she still wanted new pokemon. "What sort of pokemon do you want to capture May?" asked Brock. May was reading a pokemon book about pokemon you find in Kanto. "I've been thinking about it," she said "and I want to catch a Butterfree because they are so beautiful and cute like Beautifly". "Then you will have to search for Caterpie," said Ash "that's the best way to get a Butterfree". He remembered when his Butterfree evolved from Caterpie and Metapod.

Suddenly a person the gang didn't expect to see ran past them; it was Drew. "Wat's Drew doing here?" gasped May. "He must be here to participate in the pokemon contests" said Ash. "Drew certainly seemed to be in a hurry," said Brock "I wonder what's up". The gang decided to find out and caught up to Drew. "Drew!" called out May. Drew was surprised to see May again, but he figured she'd want to enter the contests in Kanto. "Hey Ash I saw you win the Cerulean ribbon on TV" said Drew. "You won any ribbons yet?" asked Ash. "Only one, but I'm just beginning" said Drew. "So what were you running in a hurry for Drew?" asked May. "Haven't you heard?" asked Drew "a shiny Zangoose and shiny Arcanine are lurking about in these parts". "You're kidding right?!" gasped Max. "Nope and I plan to capture them for myself," said Drew "see you later". And he left. "Why don't we go and look for these shiny pokemon too?" said Max "I've never seen a shiny Arcanine or shiny Zangoose before". The others agreed. "We better split to search for the shiny Arcanine and Zangoose," suggested Brock "because we have no idea where they might be". So the gang split up to find the two shiny pokemon; Brock with May, Max with Tomo and Ash went off alone.

The gang wasn't the only ones interested of finding the shiny Arcanine and Zangoose. Jessie, James and Meowth had heard about the two shiny pokemon lurking about in the area, and they wanted to catch them for Team Rocket. "That shiny Zangoose and Arcanine will earn us a lot of money" said Meowth. "You're right Meowth," said Jessie "you can leave the Arcanine to my Cloyster since water beats fire". "And I can easily take down that Zangoose with Breloom". "Just don't let Seviper see that Zangoose Jessie" said Meowth, who remembered that Seviper and Zangoose were enemies. "All right enough talk, time to catch us some pokemon" said Jessie.

(With May and Brock)

May and Brock were keeping their eyes open to see if they could spot the shiny Arcanine or Zangoose. "Do you think Drew was right about the shiny Arcanine and Zangoose being here?" May asked Brock. "Well it's unusual to see a Zangoose here in Kanto," said Brock "but Drew isn't the type to lie. So all we can do is search for the Arcanine and Zangoose". Just then a Caterpie crawled past. "Brock that's a Caterpie right?" asked May. "Yes May that is" answered Brock. "Great I'm capturing it" said May. Even though they were searching for an Arcanine and Zangoose, May couldn't resist on capturing Caterpie because she wanted a Butterfree.

(With Tomo and Max)

Tomo was having Growlithe sniff around to pick up the scent of the shiny Arcanine. "With Growlithe's nose we should be able to find Arcanine since its Growlithe's evolved form" said Tomo. "Hey Tomo are you ever going to evolve Growlithe to Arcanine?" asked Max. "No the truth is like Pikachu, Growlithe doesn't want to evolve," said Tomo "and the truth is, I like Growlithe the way he is". "I see" said Max. Just then Growlithe started to bark. "Growlithe must have picked up Arcanine's scent," said Tomo "lead the way Growlithe". Growlithe started to run and Tomo and Max followed.

(With Ash)

Ash and Pikachu were searching for the shiny pokemon together. "See anything Pikachu?" asked Ash. Pikachu was up a tree looking to see if he could see the shiny pokemon, but he didn't see anything yet. "You know Pikachu?" said Ash "I think this is a good time for me to try and use my aura power for this. Wouldn't you say?" Pikachu agreed; he remembered that Ash had the power of aura. Ash closed his eyes and thought in his mind that he needed to find the shiny Arcanine and Zangoose. Just then the aura appeared in Ash's eyes and then Ash saw where they were. Ash opened his eyes. "Let's go Pikachu" he said. Pikachu jumped off the tree and he and Ash ran over to the direction where Arcanine and Zangoose were.
