"A talking Meowth?" Austin asked, pretending to be surprised. "That's awesome."

Misty gave him a look of disbelief. "That's all you have to say about that?!" she exclaimed. "They're Team Rocket!"

"I know, but can't I stop to think how awesome a talking Pokémon is?" Austin asked as Meowth chuckled.

"We're here for the Pokémon," James stated, not interested in their squabble.

"So hand them over," Jessie ordered.

"You're wasting your time; this is a place for only sick and injured Pokémon," Nurse Joy told them.

"Well, I wouldn't be surprised if we find a few little gems among all the junk," Jessie casually remarked.

Austin cautiously grabbed Spearow's Pokéball, and James laughed at seeing that. "The little boy thinks he can fight us?"

"Then let's show him the power of Team Rocket," Jessie declared as both Koffing and Ekans advanced on him.

"Spearow, come on out!" Austin called as the bird materialized with a cry before glaring at Pikachu. "Turn around!"

Not liking the tone, Spearow did so only to fly back as Ekans nearly bit him. Crap, I don't have any battling experience. Austin quickly took out his Pokédex to scan Spearow, ignoring the casual data as he zeroed in on the moveset.

"Focus Energy and then Peck," Austin instructed as Spearow was in the midst of trying to fly outside to escape, but the two Pokémon were cutting him off.

Despite loathing the Human, Spearow wanted to survive so he listened as energy gathered inside of him before diving and nailing Ekans with his beak, causing it to crash into the ground.

"Show that bird not to be messed with," Jessie said, glaring. "Bite."

Spearow dove out of the way only for Koffing to slam into him with a tackle.

"Spearow," Austin called out, berating himself for not focusing on Koffing. "Fly back and keep out of reach."

"Smog attack."

Spearow flew around the sludges that Koffing was firing, barely dodging them and slowed from the earlier tackle as he kept moving.

"Pikachu, use Thundershock on the Koffing," Austin ordered as the rat gave a nod before running in and zapping the Koffing with the electric attack, causing it to slam into Ekans, electrocuting it.

He honestly thought he would fail badly in this fight, but he was doing pretty well... It just seemed so familiar.

Eyes snapping to the fight, Austin paled. "Pikachu, use your tail to launch yourself into the air."

Pikachu listened, barely dodging a tackle from Ekans as he spun in the air from the momentum.

"Spearow, use Leer, and Pikachu, use Thundershock!"

Spearow's eyes glowed red as both Koffing and Ekans hesitated before Pikachu's Thundershock slammed into them, causing them to faint.

"We were beaten," Jessie said in disbelief.

"By a kid."

"Well alright," Austin said as Pikachu did a victory sign while Spearow landed on the ground, looking at them cautiously.

He was actually fighting until he had a chance to escape... But this kid did some good combinations to have them win.

Spearow turned away, but he didn't fly off as Jessie and James returned their Pokémon.

"I'll get them," Meowth said, walking up. "Birds and mice are Meowth's prey."

Austin chuckled as he looked at Pikachu. "Thundershock."

Pikachu gave a nod as his cheeks sparked, causing Meowth to stop a bit nervously. "Now wait just a min—." He was cut off by being electrocuted and was sent flying back at Jessie and James' feet.

Backing up, they grabbed Meowth before running off. "You haven't seen the last of us, kid," Jessie told him as they disappeared.

"Nice job, you two," Austin said, seeing Misty discreetly putting a Pokéball up, showing that she was about to interfere with the fight herself as Nurse Joy approached.

"Thank you for saving the Pokémon Center," she said to him.

"Uh, it's no problem," Austin said, looking at Spearow. "Sorry for throwing you into the fight like that; I meant to ease you into welcoming you to the team."

He held out a hand as Spearow looked at him before turning away stubbornly.

Austin blinked before chuckling. If Spearow didn't like me, he wouldn't have fought with me.

Austin was in one of the guest rooms that the Pokémon Center provides for the other trainers. There was a bird perch there that Spearow was on while he lay in bed, wearing the same pajamas he woke up in as Pikachu slept on the other side of the bed. What a weird day, Austin thought as he looked from where he was to Spearow and Pikachu, who were asleep. But... I think it was a great day.

Sure, he was still wary of how he got here and there was the guilt of pretending to be Ash as well as the worry about how his parents were reacting to him being gone. But he might actually enjoy his time here.

Giving a yawn, he rolled over and fell asleep. Although he wondered if he should nickname Pikachu and Spearow as he let sleep take him.

Austin was the first one up as Pikachu was still curled up while Spearow hung his head in his sleep on the bird perch. Considering he had a moment to breathe since catching him, Austin decided to listen to the rest of the Pokédex as he pointed it at Spearow.

"Spearow, the Tiny Bird Pokémon, unlike the gentle Pidgey, Spearows are aggressive and have a ferocious temper," the Pokédex beeped as Austin remembered that from the Anime. "This Spearow is male and the ability is Keen Eye. Currently, this Spearow knows Peck, Leer, Focus Energy, and Fury Attack. The age of this Spearow is one year and two months."

Austin was surprised because Spearow didn't know Fury Attack the other day—Of course, when he helped beat Team Rocket, he must've gained enough experience to learn a new move— Austin stopped as he realized how ridiculous that sounded. Wait, do the Pokémon gain levels or something, or was that just the game?

Hopefully, there wasn't a four-move-only barrier because that would suck.

Putting the Pokédex down, Austin decided to take advantage of the shower in the guest room considering the next stop would be the Forest, and it would be easy to get lost, so he had to work on preparation.

Humming to himself as he entered the bathroom and closed the door, Austin turned the lights on to see his reflection and the scratches were still visible as he gently touched his face. "Well, at least with time these will heal," Austin muttered as he began to turn the water on. "Luckily, kids heal fast—"

He stopped as he realized one important factor. He was ten again. ... That meant puberty all over again.

Both Pikachu and Spearow woke up when they heard a scream of frustration coming from the bathroom as they both looked towards it in confusion.
