** Pok� Moon **
** A Sailor Moon / Pok�mon crossover **

Narrator: Ash Ketchum, Pok�mon Master, is competing in the Cosmic League
Championships, where the person who gathers all ten Cosmic Badges will
become one of the Elite Trainers. Already, Ash has won the first of his
badges, the Aries Badge, from Rei Hino. He also got the chance to trade
his Charizard for a Charmander, which he liked better. It had a powerful
new attack, Celestial Fire. Now, Ash is going to look for the next of 
the badges, but something is up with Misty...

	   ** Part 6 **
MISTY: Pretty Girl Soldier Misty
================================

Misty Waters was in the grip of a weird dream. In it, she was treading
water in a weird chlorine green ocean with a starry sky over her head.
She then saw a shadowy woman who spoke to her.

"...Misty...Misty Waters...you are a warrior..."

"A warrior?" asked Misty, confused.

"This is your destiny...realize...your destiny..."

"ACK!" cried Misty, waking up in the middle of the night. She was in
her Goldeen pajamas and clutching Staryu. She let go of Staryu and got
out of bed. "What a wacko dream..." She went over to a mirror and
looked into it. "Who was that woman? And what did she mean?"

She went back to her bed, but decided to clean out her bag. As she did
so, she found the henshin pen. "Huh?" she said, fondling it. "This..."

Beautiful violin music began to drift through the window. Misty looked
out the window and found Michiru playing in the moonlight. The aqua-
haired woman looked up and nodded, as if gesturing Misty to come down.

Misty decided to visit with her and find out why she was here.

~~+~~

Jadeite stretched his shoulders, then sat down in the throne of his
part of Queen Beryl's palace. He summoned a youma. "Natsumi, give me
your report. How goes the energy draining?"

"Very good, master," hissed the half-crab, half-woman monster. "We've
gotten 35% of the needed energy for our plans."

"Continue," said Jadeite. "I want more energy. The more energy that 
we receive, the better chance we can dispose of those wretched Sailor
Senshi and take over the world. You are dismissed."

"Hai," said the youma,vanishing. A man wearing a black sweater with
a big "R" on it appeared and bowed before Jadeite.

"Sir Jadeite," he said. "We of Team Rocket wish to know your plans."

"Oh?" asked Jadeite with a smirk. "Does your Boss not trust me?"

"He does, but he is curious," said the messenger. "Why do you need
energy to take over the Earth? This is confusing."

"Tell your Boss this," said Jadeite calmly. "The energy is needed to
power our magic and youma. Without it, we are helpless. But warn him
this - if he EVER tries to disrupt our processes in attempt to gain
control over us, he will be deader than a doornail."

"As you wish," said the messenger fearfully. He bowed and ran off.

"Foolish humans," muttered Jadeite, cracking his knuckles. "Soon, we
will have no need of this Team Rocket. Ha ha ha."

~~+~~

Misty went downstairs to the parking lot and came outside. Nobody
was around. "Hey, Michiru," said Misty. "Why are you out here in
the middle of the night, playing a serenade?"

"I wanted to talk to you, Misty-chan," said Michiru with a sly
smile. "Did you find that pen I gave you?"

Misty held out the pen. "You mean this? Nice gift, but..."

"It's not a gift," said Michiru, putting down her violin. "It is
your destiny. Watch." Misty watched as Michiru conjured a similar
pen, with a ball on the end. "NEPTUNE PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!"

Misty gasped in shock as Michiru's clothing dissolved and she traced
a circle of blue light around herself. The circle exploded in a crash
into a column of sea water, which expanded to show Michiru in her 
Sailor fuku. Michiru opened her eyes and her lips were kissed with
lipstick, and then she posed as Sailor Neptune.

Misty swooned. "Y-Y-You're...You're that girl we met two days ago!"

"That is right," said Sailor Neptune. "I am Sailor Neptune, the Senshi
of the planet Neptune...and you are my sister, Princess Coral and Sailor
Naiad. It is your destiny to be one of us, the Sailor Senshi."

"Huh?" asked Misty. With that, she fainted.

~~+~~

Haruka came up to Michiru. "How did it go?" she asked, putting her
strong arms around the woman.

"Not very good," sighed Michiru. "She fainted dead away."

"This is all a big shock to her," said Haruka. "She didn't awaken yet.
Maybe after her symbol glows, she will awaken and realize her destiny."

"I hope so," said Michiru. "Poor thing. Life has handed her a bum rap.
First her bike gets destroyed, then she gets thrown into a mess of bad
situations with that horrible Team Rocket, now this."

"Well," said Haruka, grinning and kissing her neck. "She needs time."

~~+~~

That morning, Misty opened her eyes. She sat up in her cot. "It was
just a dream..." she muttered to herself, trying to keep from realizing
what had happened. She then found the pen still in her hands. "Huh?"

"Morning, Misty," said a voice. Misty recognized it as Mamoru's. "How
is the pretty water lily today?" Misty had a flashback to some people
calling her "Water Lily." She shook her head.

"I'm fine, Mamoru-san," said Misty, smiling and bowing. "I just had a
weird dream. In it, I saw Michiru change into Sailor Neptune!"

Mamoru frowned. ~Did Michiru-san transform before Misty? I know that
Usagi told me that Misty was one of the Senshi, but...~ He shrugged;
better not to pester her about it right now. "Well, if you say it is
a dream, it is. Anyway, I made breakfast for you and the others."

"Thanks," said Misty. She went into the dining room and sat down where
the others were eating. Pikachu had his favorite breakfast - fruit and
ketchup. Ash was eating a hearty omelet and bacon breakfast, and brock
had the normal Japanese breakfast of rice and sweet sauce. Misty took
the french toast and syrup and ate politely.

"Well," said Mamoru as he sat down with the others. His plate had some
pancakes with syrup and butter. "What are you three gonna do today?"

"I'm going to find the next gym!" said Ash.

"I've got to fulfill a promise to Rei," said Brock.

"Well, you'll make a great boyfriend for her," said Mamoru. "Say, Misty,
Usagi and Minako said that they wanted to take you downtown."

"Cool!" said Misty eagerly. "I can't wait to see what the girls do."

"Usual trash," muttered Ash. Misty snarled at him.

*Dingdong!* The doorbell saved Ash from a rapping as Mamoru opened it.
"Usako! Minako-chan! Nice to see you two."

"Is Misty here?" asked Usagi. In three seconds, Misty was before them.

"What are we gonna do, you two?" asked the girl sweetly.

"You wait and see,girlfriend," teased Minako.

~~+~~

Rei sighed as she swept the porch. Today was a holiday,so all the Gyms
were officially closed for the time being. Rei's grandfather took the
chance to pile chores on the poor miko. Rei looked up at times, hoping
to see someone come up the walk, but nobody came.

~Maybe I was fooling myself,~ she thought sadly.

"Hey, Rei-chan!" said a voice. Rei looked up and her eyes lit up. It
was Brock. "I came to fulfill that promise. Wanna get a milkshake?"

Rei blushed. "I...I can't, Brock-sama. Grandpa's piled a bunch of chores
on me and I have to stay all day." She rolled her eyes. "Bummer."

Brock grinned. "Let me help. I happen to know a lot about housekeeping.
You see, I have ten siblings I cared for."

Rei was stunned. "THAT many? I'm an only child."

"Well, if you had ten sisters and brothers," said Brock. "I bet your
old man would have piled the chores on them." He chuckled. "Come on."

Rei sighed. "Sure, you can help, but I don't know if you know how to
work a temple. This isn't a regular gym, you know."

"Try me," said Brock, taking Rei's arm and led her inside.

~~+~~

Minako, Usagi, and Misty entered the beauty salon called "Mataku Hair."
It was a lavish place where women went to style their hair. The clerk
approached the girls. "Ah, welcome!" she said, bowing in the Japanese
style. The three girls bowed back. "Are you here for a session?"

"Hai!" said Usagi. "Our friend, Misty-chan, wants to have her hair
styled beautifully. We would like our hair styled too."

"You are just in luck, girls," said the clerk. "There are three stations
available for you. Today, we have a special. You get a complete hair
and facial makeover for a third the price."

"Wow!" said Usagi in glee. "A third the price! Sugoi!"

"This is pretty affordable," said Minako. She turned to Misty. "What
do you say, Misty-chan? Ash and Brock would never recognize you."

"Well...okay," said Misty, letting herself be led to a station. Minako
and Usagi also went to stations and let the beauticians do them over.

The clerk snickered. ~Three more victims for the Neo-Dark Kingdom.~

~~+~~

Later, Brock finished up the chores with Rei. "Wow, you are pretty good
at cleaning things up," said Rei with a sly smile. "I didn't know that
you had it in you. I guess you and Yuuchiro-kun are alike in that way."

"Rei..." said Brock. He wanted to tell Rei about Yuuchiro, how he was
never seen again, but could he do that? Could he have the courage to
say something which could break her heart.

"I know...me comparing you to Yuuchiro," laughed Rei. "Gomen. I never
tended to do that before. It's just...I miss him."

"So, you did love him," said Brock.

"Yeah, but he's gone now," sighed Rei sadly. "I wish I could have said
how much I loved him. Maybe then he wouldn't have run off."

"That's okay," said Brock, wrapping his arms around her waist. "I know
how it feels to have someone you love run off. My father left my family
because he wanted to be great, just like your Yuuchiro. But he ran off
when he lost. I...I think Yuuchiro lost a match and ran off in shame."

Rei sniffled, wiping a tear from his eye. "Poor Yuuchiro. He tried so
hard to be great for me, but couldn't. I guess he thought I would laugh
at him if he returned. He didn't know..." She shook her head and smiled
at him. "Hey, what about the milkshake?"

"Oh yeah!" said Brock, letting go of her. He laughed. "Forget about 
that. Any more chores to do before we go?"

"Well, I have to check the Great Fire, to make sure it's okay," said
Rei. "Then we can go." She went into the Great Fire room and stoked
the flames. Just then, she saw an image in the fire and gasped.

~Misty is in danger!~ thought Rei. ~So are Minako and odango atama!~
She looked around. "Damn..." she hissed. "Why does this have to happen?
I was about to find love, and then a youma attacks." She slumped her
shoulders in defeat and then went to Brock. "Gomen, but something came
up. I am afraid I will have to cancel today."

"Oh," said Brock, sighing heavily. "Oh well, I'll help Ash find the
next gym. See ya." He turned and left.

Rei looked at him leave and shook her head. ~I'm sorry, Brock. I wish I 
could tell you everything,but...~ She looked around to make sure that 
her old grandfather wasn't around, then raised her wand.

"MARS STAR POWER...MAKE UP!"

~~+~~

Ash cursed a bit as he wandered the streets. "Where is that next gym?"
He looked at Pikachu. "Pikachu, can you scout ahead for me?"

"Pikachu," said Pikachu, leaping off of Ash's shoulder and running to
the beauty salon nearby. He peeked in the window.

The clerk turned and saw him. ~The Pikachu!~ she thought. An evil grin
crawled up her face. ~This will be easy...~ She made her way over to the
door, and Pikachu began to back up.

Misty sat up and saw the clerk walking to Pikachu. ~Huh? Why is she
going to Pikachu?~ She then saw the evil look on the clerk's face.
"Oh no, it's Team Rocket!" She removed a Pok�ball. "Go Starmie!"

A duck suddenly popped out of her bag. "Psyduck!"

Misty groaned. Psyduck was such a stupid Pok�mon, and sometimes it loved
to pop up at the MOST inappropriate times, like now.

Pikachu was scared as the woman emerged from the shop. "You're mine,"
the woman cackled, changing into her true form.

"PSYDUCK!!!!!" Misty screamed at the top of her lungs. Usagi and Minako
bolted upright as they heard the scream and then saw the youma.

"It's a youma," whispered Minako. "Better transform."

"What about Misty?" asked Usagi. "And the customers?"

Minako looked around. "Misty and we are the only ones conscious," she
said. Sure enough, the other women were drained to unconsciousness.
"Anyway, Michiru-san said she revealed her secret, so we can change."

"Demo..." said Usagi, just as Ash came into sight.

"Hey you!" shouted Ash, getting the youma's attention. "Leave Pikachu
alone!" He knew it was crazy to challenge another youma. He recalled
Sailor Uranus's warning, but he didn't care. Pikachu was in danger!

"Go away, boy, if you want to stay healthy," snarled the youma, snapping
its claws menacingly. Natsumi hoped that the kid would get the hint.

He refused to budge. "No way, not if you are gonna mess with Pikachu,"
he hissed. "Go Bulbasaur!" The plant-lizard was released from its ball.

"Bulbasaur!" grunted the creature.

"Vine Whip!" ordered Ash. The Bulbasaur unleahsed its vines to bind
the monster,but Natsumi laughed and grabbed them in its claws, yanking
them and sending the creature crashing through the window.

"Oh no! Bulbasaur!" cried Misty in horr. She glared at Psyduck. "You
stupid Pok�mon!" She kicked it hard and sent it smashing into the
youma, which stepped on it. "Hey! Stop that!"

The youma ignored her and grabbed Ash! Ash screamed in terror as he was
flung about wildly,then sent flying through the window. Misty screamed.

"Oh no!" said Minako. She tried to move to Ash, but then Sailor Pluto
appeared and shook her head. "What?"

"Her memories are awakening," said Pluto firmly. "Do not interfere."

"ASH!!" cried Misty. Suddenly, the ten-pointed star glowed on her
forehead as memories began to flood in her mind.

	"Satoshi! NOOOOOOO!!" screamed Princess Coral as the man she
	loved was impaled with dark magic. The boy spasmed several
	times and then fell lifeless to the ground. The assassin 
	laughed as Coral looked at him, teeth furled in anger.

	"Bastard..." she seethed. "You...will...die!"

Usagi saw the mark. "Misty..." she said.

Misty was in tears. "Ash...don't you dare die on me, you jerk! I still
want you to pay me back for my bike! If you die before I get my due,
I'll never forgive you. ASH! WAKE UP!!"

~~+~~

"BURNING MANDALA!!" cried a voice. The youma felt the rings of fire
strike its back and turned to see Sailor Mare there.

"You evil youma, terrorizing innocent Pok�mon!" snarled the Senshi of
Fire. "You leave that Pikachu alone or I will punish you!"

"Idle threats," hissed Natsumi. She vomited a blob of briny slime at
Sailor Mars, who leapt out of the way. Natsumi then turned to Pikachu
and snatched the rodent up in his claws. "This creature is going to
our master. You cannot stop us, Sailor Mars."

"How about ME!?" said another voice. "SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!"

"YEOW!" cried Natsumi as the orb of lightning ripped through her body.
Sailor Jupiter forced open the claw and rescued Pikachu.

[Makoto?] said Pikachu.

Sailor Jupiter looked at Pikachu. "You know who I am?"

Pikachu nodded.

"Promise not to tell Ash or the others?" asked Jupiter.

[I promise,] said Pikachu with a nod.

"Right, let's dust this youma," said Jupiter. "SUPREME THUNDER!"

"Pika pika CHU!!" cried Pikachu, his cheeks flashing.

Natsumi evaded the double thunderbolts. "You foolish humans," hissed
the youma. "That creature is ours now! Surrender it or else!"

~~+~~

Misty looked up and her eyes flashed with anger. Her sorrow became a
tidal wave of rage. "You...bitch..." she said. She flung up her hand
and held the marbled henshin pen. "NAIAD LUNAR POWER...MAKE UP!!!!!"

Usagi and Minako looked in awe, and Pluto in enjoyment, as a tidal wave 
of sea water shot from the symbol of the pen and wrapped around Misty's
body, covering it in a veil. When the wave crashed, Misty was wearing a
Sailor fuku. It had a light blue skirt, sea-green bows with a light blue
button holding each bow together, and a golden tiara with a pearl in the
center of it. Her footwear consisted of clear sandals, and her earrings
were shaped like Starmies. The choker had a crescent moon on it, and the
hair was tied back with a white ribbon.

Natsumi sensed the power and turned to see the now-transformed Senshi.

"I am Sailor Naiad," snarled the girl. "Lunar Senshi of the Waters,and
YOU are going to Hell!" Unaware of what was happening to her, Sailor
Naiad moved her hands over her head. "OCEAN..." She clapped her hands
together before her body. "...FOAM!!!"

A spray of foam, similar to Sailor Mercury's Shabon Spray, erupted from
the new Senshi's hands and flew towards her target. Natsumi tried to
avoid it,but as soon as it was an inch within the youma, the light blue
bubbles exploded into a giant cloud of sea foam, which turned into a
violent maelstrom. The youma screeched in pain as the brine corroded
its shell,making it pitted with the harsh scratching of salt water.

"Now, Sailor Moon," said Pluto. "Henshin yo and attack."

Usagi nodded rapidly. "MOON COSMIC POWER...MAKE UP!" In a flash, Usagi
became Sailor Moon. She raised her rod. "MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!"

*KABOOM!* The giant pink heart ripped through Natsumi and vaporized her,
leaving only a pile of dust which was mixing with the whirlpool of foam.
The foam then vanished along with the youma dust.

Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter came in. "Misty..." said Mars.

Sailor Naiad slowly recovered from her shock. She then saw Ash. "Ash!"

Ash moaned as he got up. "What happened?" he asked. He then found that
he was looking up the skirt of a beautiful Sailor Senshi. He blushed and
scampered backwards. "Sorry, miss, I didn't mean to...do that!"

Sailor Naiad looked at herself, saw what she was wearing, and fainted.

"Oh dear," said Minako in worry.

"I'll take care of her," said Pluto. She looked at Ash. "You should be
very lucky Uranus is not here. You had better protect that Pikachu with
all your heart, or else you will regret it." She picked up Naiad and
left by stepping through a time gate.

"Hmmm..." said Ash. He got up and looked around. "Hey, where is Misty?"

Minako came up. "She's okay. Just a little problem. You can go to the
Michiru-Haruka residence and visit them. They are taking care of Misty."

"Oh," said Ash. "Okay." He took Pikachu and bowed to the Senshi. "Ah...
thanks for protecting Pikachu. I've gotta go." He left.

"I hope this isn't too hard on Misty-chan," said Sailor Moon. "I mean,
when someone FAINTS after realizing their power, I worry!"

~~+~~

Ash stumbled into Brock on the way out. "Hey Brock," he said. "I thought
you were gonna take Rei out to a milkshake."

"Yeah, but something came up and she bailed," sighed Brock.

"Bummer," said Ash. "I'm gonna go visit Misty. Something happened and
Misty got hurt. Minako said she was over at Michiru and Haruka's place."

"Good idea," said Brock. "I'll come with you."

Pikachu thought about what he had seen. Misty was a Sailor Senshi.
[I hope this doesn't change our relationship,] he mumbled.
