First there were humans, then there were Cano-Sapiens. After the great disaster that wiped out all the humans from the planet, the Cano-Sapiens took over. Animal life was also extinguished. To replace them a new kind of animal appeared. A new creature with magical powers and great strength. After several studies the Cano-Sapiens found out that they could be tamed and trained to fight. The studies continue and to the day 151 different species of these creatures have been discovered. There could be more, but those are yet to be discovered. These amazing creatures are currently very important in the every day life of all Cano-Sapiens, and some even train them to become masters and win badges to prove how good they are. To the Cano-Sapiens, these incredible creatures are known as... Rovémon...

“Rovémon” - (this one’s a musical episode)

by Daniel Morales

“Rovémon, I choose you!”

Among an inmense collection of Rovémon items sat Ashe, a 10 year old Golden Retriever with a dream of becoming the world’s greatest Rovémon Master. As he watched a Rovémon match on TV he played with his Rovémon toys. A Dognix and a Squirter were fighting in the screen. Ashe was also fighting his own little Dognix and Squirter toys.

Ashe- (to the screen) “Go Squirter! You can do it!”

The rock snake tried to smash the little turtle with a tackle attack, but missed. The Squirter then used water gun, a water attack. Once the water hit Dognix it began to howl and moan. Squirter then tackled it, knocking it out. The crowd in the stadium began cheering and so did Ashe, who was hopping up and down.

Ashe- “Yes! Yes! Squirter’s the best.”

He stopped hopping when he heard someone laughing behind him. He turned around and saw him mom standing at the door.

Mom- “Ashe, you better go to bed. It’s getting late.”

Ashe- “I can’t sleep mom. I’m very excited about tomorrow.”

Mom- “If you don’t get some sleep you won’t be able to get up tomorrow and be late to your uncle Pine’s lab.”

Ashe- “Oh. Okay.”

He stood up, put away his toys and kissed his mom goodnight. That night he kept dreaming about Squirters, Bulbadogs and Charmandogs. He dreamed of Mousetatas and Mousykates. He dreamed of Pawras and Pawrasects. Of Weedogs, Kakudogs and Beenails. He dreamed of every single Rovémon he knew, all of which he wanted to capture. When the first rays of the sun shone through his window he woke up and immediately started to get ready. As he ate his breakfast he stared at the TV. His uncle was announcing that today was the day when all the new Rovémon trainers had to go see him to start their quests. Ashe hurried up to his room and changed his clothes. In the process he turned on the TV in his room and continued watching the program. His uncle continued by describing the Rovémon he had available for the trainers that would come. He had only 3: a Squirter, a Charmandog and a Bulbadog. Being such a water fan, Ashe decided that if he got there early he’d choose Squirter. Once ready he dashed out of his house and ran as fast as he could to his uncle’s lab. On the way he met a group of pups playing the Rovémon Card Game. He knew he shouldn’t be late, but he couldn’t miss this opportunity to win some new RovéCards. He played for a while and when he looked at his watch he was an hour late. By the time he got to his uncle’s lab he bumped into...

Mary- “Oh, hi Ashe!”

Ashe- “EEK!”

Mary- (smug) “What are you doing here? Aren’t you a little young to train Rovémon?”

Ashe- “Aren’t you a little old to start?”

Mary- “To start? Ashy, I started 3 years ago. That’s why you haven’t seen me in such a long time. I was ‘studying’, and activity that I can assume you’re not very familiar with.”

Ashe- “Studying?”

Mary- “Yes. I can’t be a Rovémon trainer without knowing all about the different kinds of Rovémon and their attacks.”

She giggled and patted Ashe on the head.

Mary- “Good luck with your training, little guy. Look me up when I become famous.”

Ashe- “Famous?”

Mary- “Yes. Didn’t I tell you? I’m going to be the greatest Rovémon Master in the world.”

Ashe- “No, you’re not. I’m gonna be the greatest Rovémon Master in the world.”

Mary chuckled and patted Ashe’s head again.

Mary- “Dream on, little pup.”

With that, she calmly walked away and left Ashe alone in front of the gates of his uncle’s lab. When he entered he found his uncle alone in the middle of his lab. He greeted his nephew.

Pine- “Hello, Ashe. You’re ten already, huh?”

Ashe- “Yeah, uncle. I want to get my first Rovémon now.”

Pine- “Hey, not so fast. I have to give you your trainer’s license first.”

From a nearby drawer Prof. Pine took out a credit card-like object. He gave it to Ashe. It was his trainer’s license.

Pine- “I made it last night cause I knew you were gonna be here as soon as possible. I’m just surprised you’re so late.”

Ashe- “Well, I got a little sidetracked.”

Pine- “Okay, but I don’t know if I have a Rovémon for you.”

Ashe- “What do you mean?”

Pine- “They’re gone.”

Ashe- “Gone?! Don’t you have a Squirter?”

Pine- “Taken by someone who was early.”

Ashe- “Well, what about a Bulbadog?”

Pine- “Nope. Taken as well.”

Ashe- “Then I choose Charmandog. I’ve been told those are very strong.”

Pine- “I’m sorry, but Mary took that one.”

Ashe- “What?!”

The pup lowered his head. Prof. Pine could see how sad he was.

Pine- “I do have 1 more Rovémon, but...”

Ashe- (interrupting) “I’ll take it!”

Pine- “I have to warn you, I caught this Rovémon yesterday when I saw it was gnawing on my power cables.”

Ashe- “I don’t care, as long as I have a Rovémon.”

The professor sighed.

Pine- “Alright.”

He led Ashe to a corner of the lab where he had a weird device with RovéBalls on it. The balls were open and didn’t have anything in them. There was only one that was closed and had a lightning bolt drawn on it. Ashe took it in his paw and just stared at it.

Pine- “Ashe, I’d like you to meet your new Rovémon.”

At that moment the RovéBall opened up and an energy beam shot out of the ball and landed on a nearby table. The energy took shape and faded, leaving behind a furry little creature on the table. Its fur was brown and it had two yellow stripes on its back. The tips of its ears were also yellow. It had a tail shaped like a lightning bolt. Its cheeks were bright red. It looked very cute. It shook it’s head a few times and opened his eyes. It smiled and stared at Ashe.

Pine- “This is Barkachu.”

Barkachu- “Barkachu!”

Ashe- “Hey, it’s cute.”

The pup held it in his arms. Suddenly the little Rovémon changed into an annoyed expression.

Pine- “Uh, Ashe. I have to warn you.”

Ashe- “What kind of Rovémon is this, uncle?”

Pine- “It’s an...”

Almost immediately Ashe got an electric shock from Barkachu. When Barkachu stopped Ashe was all dark and burned. His fur was also standing on end.

Pine- “...electric Rovémon.”

Ashe- (in pain) “You don’t say.”

He put Barkachu back on the table and turned to his uncle. He handed Ashe a device and some RovéBalls. He looked at the device wondering what it was.

Ashe- “What’s this, uncle?”

Pine- “That’s your RovéDex. It contains information about all the Rovémon that have been discovered. Just aim it at any Rovémon and it will tell you all you need to know about it.”

Ashe- “Cool.”

He put the balls on his belt and placed the RovéDex into his pocket. He kept one ball and showed it to Barkachu.

Ashe- “Okay, Barkachu. Back in the ball.”

Barkachu blinked.

Ashe- “Come on, back in the ball.”

Barkachu- “Barka?”

Ashe- “What’s wrong with it?”

Pine- “Nothing... it just doesn’t like RovéBalls.”

Ashe- “Don’t all Rovémon have to be placed in RovéBalls.”

Pine- “Not really. Some are claustrophobic.”

Ashe- “Oh. Okay then.”

He put the ball away and picked up Barkachu. When he got to the front gate of the lab he found himself surrounded by his friends. His mom was there too. They all cheered for him. His mom hugged him and handed him his backpack.

Mom- “Oh, Ashe. You’ve grown up so fast.”

She kissed him on his forehead.

Mom- “Please be careful and change your underwear every day.”

Ashe- “Sure, mom.”

Mom- “Good. Here, you almost forgot this.”

She took out a red and white cap with a black R on it. She put it on his head. Ashe smiled and hugged his mom.

Ashe- “Bye, mom!”

He walked away toward a nearby road with Barkachu close behind him. A sign to one side said “Pallat Town - Verbarkian City”. Ashe looked down to his Rovémon.

Ashe- “Well, Barkachu. Looks like we’re on the road to Verbarkian City.”

“Veridian City” started playing. As Ashe walked down the road background singers could be heard.

singers- (singing) “On the road, on the road... on the road, on the road...”

Ashe- (singing) “On the road to Verbarkian City!”

singers- (singing) “I’m on my way, I’m on the road, I’m on the road!”

Ashe- (singing) “On the road to Verbarkian City!”

singers- (singing) “I’m on the road!”

Ashe- (singing)

We’ve built a team and we’ve been

On the road to Verbarkian Cityyyyyyy!

(come on lets go!)

The music stopped and Ashe found himself half way to the city. He sat by a tree to rest. Barkachu, looking a bit happier with Ashe, climbed the tree and ate some apples. Ashe looked up at him.

Ashe- “Hey, Barkachu! Can you pass me one of those apples?!”

An apple fell on top of his head.

Ashe- “Hey!”

Barkachu- (laughing) “Barkaaaa! Cha!”

Ashe started eating the apple. Unknown to him, someone was looking at him from some nearby bushes.

Jill- “Is it him?”

Jack- “Yes, there’s Barkachu.”

Jill- “Excellent. Lets capture him and get out of here.”

Jack- “Wait. He has a trainer now.”

Jill- “What? He’s supposed to be a wild Rovémon.”

Jack- “Not anymore.”

Two wolves dressed in white uniforms were looking at Ashe and Barkachu with binoculars. Their uniforms where very unique. White shirts with big red Ws on them. Under those they had black sweaters on. White pants with black belts and boots They also had black gloves on. Both were wolves. One was a female brown wolf. She had long red hair. The other was a male brown wolf with blue hair. With them was a cat Rovémon. A species known as Hiss. This one, however, could speak English.

Hiss- “So he has a trainer, big deal. Lets just steal him and get him to the boss.”

Jack- “Oh, alright.”

Jill- “Then lets do it, Jack.”

Jack- “Time for our motto, Jill.”

Ashe’s ears perked up. He looked around thinking he heard something. He didn’t see anyone so he calmed down again. Then, some music started playing. “The Team Rocket Theme” started playing. The two wolves jumped out of their hidden places and stood right in front of Ashe.

Jill- “Prepare for trouble!”

Jack- “If you do not take us for a walk!”

Ashe- “What the...?!”

Jill- “To protect the country from devastation!”

Jack- “To unite all doggies within our nation!”

Jill- “To denounce the evils of cats and flees!”

Jack- “To extend our reach to Tennessee!”

Jill- “Jill!”

Jack- “Jack!”

Jill- “Team Wolfy! Blast off with a really big BOOM!”

Jack- “Surrender now, or meet your doom!”

Hiss- “Hiss! That’s right!”

Ashe just stared at them. They stared back. Barkachu looked at the two wolves and freaked out. He began running up and down the tree until he fell. Ashe caught him and wondered why he was so scared.

Ashe- “Who are you?”

Both Jack and Jill fell back. Once they stood up again they stared angrily at Ashe.

Jack- “You’ve never heard of Team Wolfy?!”

Ashe just shook his head.

Jill- “We’re the baddest bad guys to ever walk the Earth!”

Ashe- “You are?”

Jack- “Jill, I really don’t think he knows us.”

Jill- “Well, he certainly does.”

She pointed at Barkachu.

Barkachu- “Cha!”

Ashe- “Hey, why do you want my Barkachu?!”

Jill- “He’s no ordinary Barkachu.”

Hiss- “His powers exceed normal Barkachu.”

Ashe- “Really?”

He held up his Rovémon to his face.

Ashe- “Is that true?”

Barkachu- (blushing) “Barka”

Jack- “Now, give him to us.”

Ashe- “What? Why?”

Jill- “Jack, he doesn’t know ANYTHING about us.”

Jack- “Hmm. This is rather disturbing. Think we should educate him?”

Jill- “Why not?”

Hiss- “Lets do it!”

Everything turned black. A light shone on top of Ashe and Barkachu. “Double Trouble” started playing and both of them found themselves surrounded by hundreds of wolves wearing black uniforms with red Ws on them. Suddenly they all started singing...

Prepare for trouble

Make it double

Prepare for trouble

Make it double

Jack- “We’ll be the richest rogues of all time”

Jill- “Creators of a grand design.”

Jack- “I’ll be the king.”

Jill- “I’ll be the queen.”

Hiss- “I’ll be the joker... of crime.”

Prepare for trouble

Make it double

Jill- “Prepare for trouble!”

Jack- “Make it double!”

Jill- “To protect the country from devastation!”

Jack- “To unite all doggies withing our nation!”

Jill- “To denounce the evils of cats and flees!”

Jack- “To extend our reach to Tennessee!”

Jill- “Jill...”

Jack- “Jack...”

Jill- “Team Wolfy blast off with a really big BOOM!”

Jack- “Surrender now or meet your doom!”

Hiss- “That’s right!”

Team Wolfy’s rockin

Talkin’ trouble, walkin’ trouble
