Stitch! Experiment Z Chapter Two

Jumba: Very interesting... so you train these creatures called "Pokemon".

Ash: Yes. *gets out a red and white ball that looks like a smaller version of his spaceship* I'll show you! Come out, Charizard!

*Ash throws the ball, and it opens... a beam of light emerges from it, and forms into a large, red dragon with a flame on its tail*

Charizard: ROOOAAAAAR!

Yuna: Wow! That's amazing, Ashy-kins! *swooning*

Jumba: Yes, but how do you fit creature into small ball?

Ash: It's easy! It's simple matter conversion and space condensation.

Pleakley: Um... what? *is confused*

*Ash then took the next few minutes to explain the mechanics of how a Pokeball works, and what the inside of one is like. He explains that the inside of a Pokeball tailors itself to the preferences of the Pokemon that is caught in it, creating an enjoyable environment.*

Jumba: Wow... your people have successfully perfected space condensation and matter conversion! You've even created a habitat simulation! Evil genius is impressed!

Ash: Thanks! My spaceship actually follows the same principles of the Pokeball.

Jumba: Impressive! The person who built it must be able to out-think supercomputer!

Ash: *places his hand on his chest* That would be moi.

*A silence fills the area. Not a single sound... until...*

Everyone but Ash: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!

Jumba: Little alien boy built spaceship on his own?!

Ash: Yep. Built it, programmed it, condensed it.

Yuna: Wow~ He's even super smart! *huggles him*

Stitch: *sigh* It hopeless... she's head-over-heels...




*At that moment, Tigerlily enters the scene*

Ash: *is a little nervous by Yuna huggling him, when he smells something*

Obaa: What's the matter, Ash?

Ash: *sniff* *sniff* I smell bitch.

Everyone else: *tilt their heads in confusion*

Jumba: What is that insult directed to?

Ash: It's not an insult. I can literally smell when a bitch is nearby. 'S one of my talents.

Tigerlily: I'm gonna ignore the fact that a 10-year-old is using the word "bitch", and just say hi.

Ash: *turns to see Tigerlily* Oh. Hey, new person. I'm Ash. Who might you- *stops and sniffs Tigerlily*

Tigerlily: Okay, you're freaking me out. O_O

Ash: *stops* Yep. 'S coming from you. *turns away from her* Therefore, I refuse to associate with you.

Yuna: *is speechless*

Stitch: Well... that got her to snap out of-

Yuna: He... he...

Stitch: Yuna?

Yuna: *glomps Ash* He even knows that Tigerlily's a major ika patooka! That settles it! He's my dream man!

Ash: *feeling very nervous right now*

Tigerlily: *pouts* Great... another wise guy in the house...



*Meanwhile, on the mystery being's ship...*


???: ... And that is why I must have Experiment Z. Any objections?

Delia: So... Experiment Z is Jumba's earliest experiment... but also the most powerful one? How does that work? And I thought 000 was his earliest experiment.

???: No. Experiment 000, codename Cyber, is Jumba's first scratch-made experiment. However, Experiment Z was his first EVER experiment... he used a human to create this experiment. Since Jumba didn't have to fabricate the experiment from scratch, Experiment Z has none of the limits that the following creations have.

Hamsterviel: I see! So Experiment Z is-

???: Even more powerful than your supposed "Ultimate Weapon", 630- AKA Dark End. It even surpasses 627 and Power Cell 626.

Delia: Impressive... so, on what planet do we find this "Experiment Z"?

???: Actually, a recent turn of events makes this mission convenient for you... Experiment Z has just landed on Earth... right where 626 is.

Hamsterviel: That IS convenient! We shall get to it right away, Mr.....

???: You may refer to me as Zero.

Hamsterviel: Zero... hmm... clever name.

Zero: *turns to a screen that shows Earth* Watch out, Experiment Z... we're coming for you...



*The next day, on Earth...*


Yuna: *wakes up and stretches* Mmmmm! *looks at Stitch* Good morning, Stitch.

Stitch: *wakes up* Good morning. *looks around* Where's Ash?

Yuna: Back in his ship. Apparently, it doubles as his home base.

Stitch: Ah. *sniffs the air* Yay! Breakfast!

Yuna: *giggles a bit* Same old Stitch... I wonder what Grandma's cooking today.


*The two enter the kitchen, expecting to see Obaa... but instead see Ash*

Ash: Oh. Hello. You're just in time. Breakfast is ready.

Yuna: *swooning* He can cook, too?! He just gets more perfect by the second!

Stitch: *sigh* Meega hope this doesn't become major smittick...



*Everyone gathers around the table, and see large stacks of pancakes, tamagoyaki (or Japanese omelets), and sausage-filled onigiri. In four gravy boats are a purple syrup, and in four pitchers are a sparkling blue juice.*


Ash: I've prepared pancakes with an Oran Berry syrup and sparkling Oran Berry juice. I've also gathered some information on traditional Japanese dishes, and made tamagoyaki and sausage-filled onigiri. I do hope you enjoy it. ^^

Yuna: *gets her serving and tastes it* Wow! This is amazing!

Stitch: *eating* Very good!

Ash: *scratches the back of his head* I kinda had my ship's computer teach me how to cook.

Obaa: Well, you're an excellent learner! This breakfast is delicious!

Ash: Thanks! Have as much as you guys like! I made plenty!

Tigerlily: *tastes hers* *lying* Eh... it's okay. *mentally* HOLY SHIT, THIS IS THE BEST FOOD I'VE EVER TASTED!



*After breakfast, Yuna, Stitch, and Hiroman were heading out for school.*

Yuna: We're off!

Ash: Have fun at school!

Tigerlily: Hang on a minute... shouldn't you be going, Ash?

Ash: I don't come from here. So I don't see the point.

Hiroman: She has a point, Ash. It would be beneficial for you to go. You know, to help blend in with the rest of us.

Ash: Hmm... good point. Alright. *heads out with the three*



*At the school...*


Hiroman: You're gonna love this place! It's a wonderful school!

Yuna: *smirks* You only say that because you think Kawasaki-sensei is cute. -w-

Hiroman: *blushes* I-I do not!

Stitch: You're not a very good liar.

Hiroman: SHUT IT, YOU BLUE ALIEN MUTT!

Ash: *sweats a little* Awkward...


*They enter the classroom, and are greeted by a woman with black hair and brown eyes. She wears her hair in a bun wrapped in a polka dot bun hat, and her attire consists of a blue jacket and a dress of the same polka dot pattern as her hat.*


Woman: Good morning! How are- *sees Ash* I see we have a new student!

Ash: Hey. My name's Ash Ketchum. Nice to meet you!

Woman: Nice to meet you, too! My name is Mika Kawasaki, but the students just call me Kawasaki-sensei. So, where are you from?

Ash: I'm from... uh... *struggles to think of a cover origin*

Hiroman: America. He's from America.

Kawasaki: I see. A foreign exchange student. Well, I personally welcome you to my class!

Ash: Thanks!


*After class, Penny approaches Ash...*


Penny: You're from America, huh? Must be one of those New Yorkers...

Yuna: Now, Penny, be nice to the new student.

Penny: Shut up, you ugly brat!

Ash: Relax. I've got this. The best way to deal with bullies is to expose them to their own air.

Yuna: What do you mean?

Ash: Observe. *walks up to Penny* Wow... I dunno where to start with you. Is the clown still chasing you?

Penny: What clown?

Ash: The one you stole that fright wig you call hair from!

Penny: *is shocked* I'll have you know this hair is fashion-

Ash: And that voice! I'm surprised those dorky-ass glasses of yours haven't shattered yet!

Penny: NOW YOU LISTEN HERE! I-

Ash: You what? You wish you weren't so hideously ugly? Seriously. What are you, Mai Valentine and Quasimodo's illegitimate daughter?

Penny: *is silent*

Ash: Yeah. You don't like it when others are mean to you, do you?

Penny: *sad, shakes head*

Ash: Well, others don't like it when you're mean to them.

Penny: But... I'm rich...

Ash: Big whoop. I'm rich, too. Yet you don't see me acting like an asshole.

Penny: I see- YOU ARE?!

Yuna: YOU ARE?!

Stitch: YOU ARE?!

Ash: Yeah. The details aren't important, but my point is this- Just because your rich doesn't mean you need to be mean.

Penny: Fine... *sighs and walks off*

Yuna: Wow... you told her off... usually, it takes one of Jumba's plasma guns or a bald monkey to do that.

Ash: It's like I said. Expose a bully to their own medicine, and they'll learn.

Yuna: I see- *hears a rumbling* What was that?

Stitch: Meega not know... but meega no like it.


*Out of nowhere, a net shoots out and grabs Stitch*


Stitch: SMITTICK!!!

Yuna: STITCH!


*Out of nowhere, Gantu and Reuben come out in a giant robo-walker*

Gantu: There!

Ash: Um... a whale-shark-thing and a yellow Stitch... *turns to Yuna* Friends of yours?

Yuna: Hardly! They're always after Stitch!

Ash: Ugh... sounds like you have your own Team Rocket to deal with...

Yuna: What's a Team Rocket?

Ash: I'll tell you later. Now, we have to save Stitch.

Gantu: Not so fast! Tell us where Experiment Z is!

Ash: Hang on a minute. *whispers to Yuna* The fuck's an "Experiment Z"?

Yuna: *shrugs*

Ash: *approaches Gantu* Listen, we don't know what you're talking about. We've never even heard of Experiment Z until you just mentioned it.

Gantu: *growls* Fine! We'll just take Stitch, then! *charges the robo-walker at the two*

Yuna: Uh-oh... *prepares to flee... when she finds that the robot has stopped* ... huh?

Gantu: What the?! Why isn't this thing moving?! *looks down to see...*



*Ash at the foot of the robot, holding it in place*



Gantu: What the... how are you doing this?!

Ash: Don't know. Don't care. *swings the robot and hurls it far away*

Gantu: BLITZNAAAAAAAK!!!

Ash: There. Now... *gets Stitch out of the net*

Stitch: O_O

Yuna: Well... THAT was eventful... *hears her Good Deed Counter ringing, and answers it* Hello?



Jumba: *on the other side of the line* Little girl. I've just found out why mention of little alien boy's home planet was familiar.

Yuna: Why?

Jumba: Jumba has been there before. It's where I created first experiment.

Yuna: That's where you created Cyber?

Jumba: No. Experiment 000 is Jumba's first scratch-made experiment... but not first ever experiment.

Yuna: Huh?!



*Back at Jumba's Lab...*



Yuna: What's this about an earlier experiment?

Jumba: Well... before Jumba started creating experiments from scratch, there was one experiment Jumba created... using a preexisting base...

Yuna: What does that mean?

Jumba: Jumba had perfect genetic samples for the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. However, it had to be injected into something still developing...

Stitch: Still developing?

Yuna: Wait! You don't mean...

Jumba: Yes... Jumba had to inject genetic code into unborn baby... and Jumba was still evil at the time, so I found pregnant woman... and created the experiment. But before I could monitor its growth, I had to leave Nexia.

Ash: Dude. That's... no. Just, fucking no.

Yuna: So, Experiment Z comes from Ash's home planet?

Jumba: Yes.

Yuna: But who could it be?

Jumba: That is what Jumba is figuring out. It will take some time to find out Experiment Z's identity.

Yuna: Come to think of it, Gantu came here looking for an Experiment Z... you think it could have followed Ash here?

Ash: Could have...

Jumba: Oy... they got out of prison, didn't they?

Yuna: Yeah...

Jumba: This could be posing problem... Stitch probably fought him off, right?

Yuna: No. Ash did. Picked up the robot they were in and chucked it far away.

Jumba: *catches on* Very interesting... Jumba is starting to get idea on what our answer is, but can't be sure until computer finishes job. Until then, keep an eye out for Gantu.

Ash: Got it.




*Meanwhile, on Zero's ship...*




Zero: You've failed me...

Hamsterviel: It wasn't our fault! Some steroid-taking boy defeated Gantu!

Zero: Steroid-taking boy?

Delia: Yeah. He must be taking steroids, cuz he picked up Gantu's robot, and chucked it far away.

Zero: Hmm... very interesting... well, it seems your mission wasn't a COMPLETE failure...

Delia: How so?

Zero: Because of this, we now know who to look out for in our future endeavors. As such, I will refrain from punishing you this time... but make no mistake, next time it happens, I won't be so merciful...

Delia: Meep! Y-Yes, sir!

Hamsterviel: Understood!

Zero: Good...



*Meanwhile, on a planet similar to Earth, but with different continents...*



???: *comes in, is a female wearing a sleek helmet and a black bodysuit, with a blonde ponytail coming out of the helmet* WHERE IS HE?!

Computer: Calculating now... Quadrant 20, Sector 33, Area 51. A planet called... E-Arth...

???: E-Arth? Damn it! He's off of the planet, and we don't have a spaceship to follow him!

Computer: It seems he's built himself a spaceship and fled the planet.

???: What continent?

Computer: Calculating... A place called... Japan.

???: So that's where he's hiding... computer! Destroy Japan!

Computer: Negative, mistress. Destroying the continent would destroy the ecosystem.

???: What if we built a spaceship and sent our forces there?

Computer: That action is also not advised. E-Arthlings are relatively simple creatures. Landing there would cause planet-wide panic.

???: A quiet capture would require an understanding of the target that none of us possess. Who, then, would you send for his extraction?

Computer: Suggestion. Perhaps those who were closest to him while he was here could be of assistance...

???: Very well... get them here!

Computer: Right away, Mistress...

???: *looks at the screen* Ready or not... here we come...
