POKEMON ANGLEICAN SEASON 1 EP 1

Angelican Begin, Kohana Appears

Location: Scorodite Town

Date/Time: November 5th/10:00am

A decent two story home is seen where a young girl about 4ft 6in who just recently turned 10, with a pale looking skin complexion, long bluish purple hair, blue eyes, a magenta colored headband, blue scarf around her neck, wearing a very light blue colored long sleeve shirt, red overall jumper shorts and red boots is seen standing on the second floor standing on the balcony looking into the beautiful morning sky

Kohana: Finally, I can leave this place and begin my life as Pokemon trainer...*she looks up at the sky* Mother I hope I make you proud, and father I hope I can find you while on the road, I know your out there somewhere *Kohana then goes over to her bed and grabs the small pink side purse the sound of a knock is heard at the front door* Oh, that must be Napalm!

Napalm was a 14 year old Pokemon trainer, a very close friend to Kohana who is almost like a big brother to her. He stood 5ft 4in with green hair, brown eyes, light skin complexion, long blue jeans, dark green and grey tennis shoes, black wrist bands, grey colored cargo vest, light cream colored button shirt with a orange shoulder bag, and a pair of sunglasses on his head.

Kohana: *looks out the window* Yup...*opens up the door* Napalm, it's great to see you.

Napalm: Hey, Koh...*sees Kohana in "regular"clothing* Looking sharp there, kid.

Kohana: Heh, Napalm *steps outside onto the porch* Let's get away from here before "she" tries to stop us.

An older women is seen watching from the basement, late 40s aged about 5ft 8in tall, very strong...wearing a white lab coat with a red R on the upper right chest, black pants, and light grey shirt, and shoes

Gina: *smriks evilly* Excellent, the "science project" has gone... Finally, all my hard work is going to pay off providing she can "survive" the journey.

-scene fades out to opening-

Ash: Angelican Begin! Kohana Appears!

Pikachu: *cheers* Pikachu

-scene fades in-

Time: 11:45 am

Location: Angelican Reigon 3500ft above the Southern Sea border, in route to Scorodite Town Airport

The whirr of the imposing green twin-prop passenger plane, structured to resemble a Tropius of the far-off Hoenn Region, could be heard through the silence along the shoreline of the landscape below, angling into a slow descent for the landing strip which extended over the face of the oceanside cliff. Within minutes, the wheels made contact with the blacktop, the plane slowly coasting to a steady halt, opening the passenger door to extend the stairwell down for disembarking. A number of adults, children, and Pokémon made their way down with bags in tow, greeted by their family and friends who awaited them. Among the departing crowd, a young boy adjusted his bright red-and-white ball cap, smiling as his Pikachu partner gave an excited cry and wave to the crowd ahead of them. The boy, a Pokémon Trainer from the Kanto Region named Ash Ketchum, shared his Pikachu's elation for their newly-arrived destination, making his way through the crowd to find the one he was supposed to meet.

The duo were well-traveled by this point, and yet despite their experiences they were quite taken aback by what sights were around them. From trees dotting a safe distance from the main runway, several flocks of Murkrow and Wingull took to the skies to begin their routine foraging, while across the tarmac ran groups of Patrat in search of Berries. Breaking them from their awe was a voice shouting to Ash, Ash turns to see Kohana approaching him, waving happily. Walking behind her to meet with Ash as well was an older gentleman, dressed in a black dress shirt tucked neatly into black slacks which overlapped freshly-polished black formal shoes, a stark contrast to his curled white beard and lab coat. Recognizing him as Professor Thaddeus Spruce, the Angelican Region's leading Pokémon researcher, Ash gave Pikachu an excited nod as they remembered the purpose of their visit.

Ash: *smiles happily* Kohana! ...Is that really you?

Kohana: It's me, it's been such a long time!

Professor Spruce: Well, you've finally made it this far! I was starting to worry that if they took any longer, little Koh here would shake down the airport in her anxiety to see you.

Kohana: *chuckles* Sorry...I'm just so glad you're here 4 years is to long *reaches out to give Ash a hug*.

-Team Rocket is seen watching near by, Ash being unaware that they were on the same plane he came in on, Kohana petting Pikachu and introducing herself-

Meowth: Who's da new girl?

James: Not sure, somewhat familiar but I can't quite place it... Oh well, no matter.

Jessie: Let's just grab ourselves a Pikachu and be done with it.

Wobbuffet: Wobb..

Spruce: Well Kohana you were right, your "cousin" looks quite strong just as you describe, he seems reliable enough.

James spaces out just a little bit after hearing the name "Kohana", like it reminded him of someone he knew a long time ago. Jessie and Meowth continued to watch Ash and the others, her eyes widening after hearing what was just mentioned.

Jessie: Did I just hear that right?

James: *spaced out* That name...

Meowth: *chilling on Wobbuffet's head* James, what's with you?

James: Oh nothing, just a random sense of deja vu

Jessie: Well stop spacing out, we've got a job to do and I hope you heard that word "cousin"

James: I missed it, but now that you mention it... Do we have a golden opportunity?

Meowth: Perhaps, if she is tagging along with da twerp, I don't see why not!

Wobbuffet: *nodding in agreement* Wobbuffet

Kohana: *holding Pikachu in her arms* You're so soft and cute! *she nuzzles Pikachu gently, she then looks up to Ash* It's good that you're here now, anyway! I've been waiting to get my Pokémon partner, ever since Aunt Delia told me you'd be coming! You're here to travel and challenge the League, so I thought I could travel with you and Pikachu, since you may not know how battles are conducted here.

Ash: What do mean, Koh?

Kohana: Well you see...

Before she could get the chance, however, the conversation was cut short by a mechanical wind-up toy shaped like a Pikachu wandering between the group. As they looked it over, they were taken by surprise when the key in its back stopped abruptly, triggering a blinding flash of light to emerge from its cheeks. As the glaring light died down, all three Humans rubbed their eyes to try and regain sight, in the midst of this however the sound of Ash's Pikachu crying in distress could be heard. Turning to face the direction of the cries as his eyes finally regained their focus, Ash stared with shock at the mechanical arm which drew his partner up, beneath a very familiar hot air balloon bearing the décor of a Meowth's head.

Ash: What do you think you're doing?

Kohana: What's going on?

The trio of figures within the balloon turned to face their accuser below, sharing a cackle at the expense of the current predicament they'd caused, as if cued by the accusation hurled at them, they began a motto known too well to Ash.

Jessie: Prepare for trouble, what's going on is us

James: And make it double, being us is a plus

Jessie: To protect the world of from devistation

James: To unite all peoples within our nation

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love

James: To extend our reach to the starts above

Jessie: Jessie!

James: James!

Jessie: Team Rocket! Blast off at the speed of light

James: Surrender now, or prepare for a totally grown up fight

Meowth: Meowth! Dats Right!

Wobbuffet: *pops out of it's ball* Wobbuffet!

Kohana: Interesting way to introduce yourselves… The rhyming is a bit odd though

James: Excuse you, our motto is very top class! Mind your manners twerpette.

Ash: Give back Pikachu!

Pikachu: Pika..pika pi!

Professor Spruce: What's a Team Rocket anyway?

Ash: A group of bad guys who always try to steal other peoples Pokemon

Kohana: That's disgusting

Jessie: Watch yourself, little girl... A little birdie told us some very interesting information.

James: Since you two are related, it sure would suck if something happened as a result of that... With Pikachu in our clutches, consider yourself lucky for now

Meowth: *controlling the mechanical arm which had Pikachu in it's grasp* We're going to plunder this region, and get the respect we so deserve

Wobbuffet: Wobb..Wobb *getting to excited accidently hitting something on the control panel causing the mechanical arm to jam lock in place with Pikachu struggling against its grip. Once Meowth decided to give the control panel a jarring kick, the arm began to move once again, only now shorting out of control and flailing wildly in mid-air. Ash and the others looked on in horror as Pikachu was helplessly swung around in the trapped state, before the hand holding Pikachu made contact with the side of the balloon, puncturing the material in such a way that a burst of released wind cut through the mechanical arm with force enough to engulf it in an explosion. Pikachu, having been released from the grip of the hand, plummeted toward the ground, while the wrecked balloon and its nefarious passengers were sent hurtling into the far distance with their typical outcry*

Jessie/James/Meowth: We're blasting off again!

Wobbuffet: Wobb!

-Team Rocket had blasted off hearing the usual twinkle, Ash sprinted forward diving to the ground with his arms extended in time to catch Pikachu-

Kohana: *runs over with Spruce behind her* Are you both alright?

Ash: I think so...*looks to Pikachu* How you feeling, buddy?

Pikachu: Pi..ka *passes out*

Ash: Pikachu?

Spruce: Come, we'll get Pikachu to the Pokemon Center, fortunately it's near by

Kohana: *Spruce and Ash head towards the Pokemon Center, Kohana doesn't follow right away* "Hmm..."

Ash: *notices Kohana standing staring out into the sky in the direction Team Rocket flew off in* Hey, Kohana come on

Kohana: *looks over* Coming...

Ash: Ok fellow trainers which Pokemon is this?

Ash: Did you guess it right? That's correct it's Meowth

Meowth: Meowth...Dat's right

Hurriedly leading Ash to the Pokémon Center, the trio nearly collided with another Trainer as he exited the building within inches of their running path.

Kohana: Oh... Napalm, sorry about almost runinng you over

Napalm: Not a worry, I should be the one apologizing, I almost did the same thing

Spruce: Good to see you lad, thanks for helping Kohana here this morning... I trust you're getting along well in your travels?

Napalm: No problem at all, I will always help out Koh as much as I can... Speaking of, I'd like to stop and chat, but it looks like you've got a bit of a crisis to take care of at the moment. See you around professor, you too Koh.. Later for now!

Napalm wandered past the group and took a left down an adjacent street. Ash, followed by Kohana and Prof. Spruce, entered the Center where the attending Nurse Joy and her Blissey assistant wheeled Pikachu into the Patient Care to heal. As they waited in the main lobby, Prof. Spruce gave a light sigh, patting Ash on the shoulder to reassure him.

Spruce: I have to return to the Lab, keep your spirits up lad. Pikachu will be fine, and once he's made a full recovery, Kohana we'll get you your partner Pokemon so you may begin your journey

Spruce leaves the Pokemon Center as Kohana and Ash sit in the waiting room having a can of juice, chatting a little bit while awaiting Pikachu's recovery

Ash: Hey Koh?

Kohana: *taking a drink of her juice* Yeah, Ash?

Ash: Who was that earlier, a friend of yours?

Kohana: Oh, that was Napalm... And yes he's a really close friend of mine, well more like a big brother to me; he has always looked out for me since I moved here, since I'm not very well treated at home.

Ash: Wait... Don't you live with your mother and/or father?

Kohana: *sighs saddly* No... My mother passed away a long time ago and my father, well... I have no idea where he could be to be honest with you.

Ash: I'm sorry... I didn't mean to bring up anything painful.

Kohana: It's alright... Can we just change the subject please? I really don't wanna talk about it.

Ash: Sure.. What did you mean when you said I didn't know how battles are conducted here?

Kohana: Oh, right… Let's wait til Pikachu is fully recovered and we get to the lab it'll be easier to explain if the professor does it

Ash shrugged his shoulders to this, and as the cousins remained patient as they awaited news on Pikachu's recovery...James is seen watching from nearby munching on a rice ball outside the Pokemon Center with Jessie, Wobbuffet and Meowth having a small snack on the park bench

James: *staring directly at Kohana specifcally* "It's so strange, I keep getting deja vu all over when I look at that twerpette!" Just who is she, anyway?

Jessie: James...What are you looking at?

James: Hmm? Oh, just the twerpette

Meowth: Why?

James: I'm not sure, I just can't get over that strange feeling I had before.

Jessie: What...do you want to get a closer look at her or something?

James: Might not hurt

-scene goes back to Ash and Kohana in the Pokemon Center still waiting-

Ash: *staring at the door waiting for the red light to go off* Hang in there, Pikachu.

Kohana tried her best to console Ash with a warm smile, before both looked over as the doors to Intensive Care opened. Quickly bounding out came Pikachu, giving an excited cry as it leapt into the arms of its Trainer and climbed up to his shoulder, Nurse Joy exiting the hall not far behind with a soft chuckle and courteous bow.

Nurse Joy: Your Pikachu has quite a strong will, Ash... And alot of energy, it made a complete recovery

Kohana: That's great, glad your ok Pikachu

Pikachu: *nods* Pika...

Nurse Joy: That reminds me Kohana, you're supposed to receive your Pokémon today aren't you? Have you thought about which type you'll end up with?

Ash: End up with? Don't you get to pick your starter from one of three?

Kohana: Not really, I would be happy with any type... There is no telling what it could be *Ash and Pikachu exchanged confused glances, unsure of what to make of the conversation. Noticing this, Kohana chuckled into her palm slightly* We should probably get to the lab before it gets any later.

Nodding slowly despite his clueless expression, Ash followed behind Kohana, bidding Nurse Joy a thankful farewell before the pair wandered the bustling streets through town.

Location: Scorodite Town Lab

Time: 3PM

Arriving at their destination, the hulking white marble building adorned with a large Poké Ball icon over the main doorways, the two entered together to be greeted by an incredible sight. Lining the walls were cables and supercomputers, closely monitored by Lab attendees. Ash, used to extravagant laboratory set-ups, was awestruck by most of what he saw here, which was completely unlike what he had seen before. Numerous flashing closed-circuit screens connected to an apparatus similar to what was used to transport Poké Balls and their contents globally via digital transmission, next to which stood Professor Spruce. As Ash and Kohana walked over to greet him, he turned with a smile for the both of them, straightening his coat.

Kohana: Hello again, professor

Spruce: Greetings, young ones... Glad to see Pikachu is looking all better *looks at Kohana* Are you ready to recieve your partner Pokemon?

Ash: Umm, professor?

Spruce: Yes Ash, what is it?

Ash: Where are the 3 starter Pokemon that Kohana gets to chose from?

Spruce: *gives a hearty laugh, he motions for Kohana to join him next to the machine* I see Prof. Oak didn't explain to you how the process is conducted here, in this reigon our system is more unique when giving begining trainers their starter Pokemon. Normally you're correct that Kohana would be picking from one of three... But no, her starter shall be chosen by a spin of F.A.T.E

Ash: Fate?

Pikachu: Pika?

Spruce: Fully Automated Trainer Envisioning. The lever is a specially designed system in itself, Kohana will give it a pull and the computer will search our database for a Pokémon it determines to match her, what it produces will become the Pokémon that accompanies her on her journey.

-Team Rocket is seen watching and listening in outside the window, observing the lab-

James: So the little twerpette is getting her first Pokemon, how adorable

Jessie: All done by a machine?

Meowth: Dis reigon is really different from any place we've been to!

Wobbuffet: Wobb!

James: This will be the perfect chance for me to get a closer a look at her... and of course swipe what ever that something is she is about to recieve.

Jessie: This will be our first Angelican Pokemon, prepare yourself little one! We're going to make you fear us yet!

Meowth: And grab any other goodies da professor has got stored away.

Team Rocket snickers and sneaks away and preapre to ambush the lab, as the scene goes back into the lab Kohana giving a small gulp, she walks up facing the machine..she grasps the lever and gives it a tug, steps back as the lever return to place...the over head monitors flashing one after another almost like a roulette wheel

Ash: *notices that they bore symbols relating to the various types of Pokémon* Type symbols?

Pikachu: Pika..pika?

The speed wore down steadily, and within seconds landed upon the screen decorated with the symbol of a Bug Pokémon. The monitor layout was split into several smaller sections, performing a second shuffle which lasted less time than the first. As soon as the section selected was lit landing on the Poison icon, the machine in front of Kohana sparked, materializing a Poké Ball which would contain her new Pokémon.

Kohana: *slowly picks it up* This is it

Ash: *eagerly awaiting* Well? Let's see it already!

Pikachu: *also very eager* Pika

Kohana: Here goes *gives it a light toss into the air, the ball erupted open into a flash of light letting loose the digitzed information within which then materialized into a small red and green like centipede-like creature on the floor with 8 little black feet, yellow eyes..with red and black antenna's on head and tail*

Venipede: *looks up at Kohana as she kneels down to get a closer look* Pede?

Kohana: Is that a...?

Ash: *kneeling next to her with Pikachu staring in surprise* It's a Venipede, from the Unova region! It's been awhile since I've seen one of those

Kohana: Venipede...*she then smiles and looks her new Pokemon* Hello there, I'm Kohana! It's very nice to meet you.

Venipede: ...*chirps happily* Pede...*it crawls towards it's new trainer and motioning it's upper body to be picked up, Kohana gently scooped it into her arms straightening herself back up as Ash followed suit, Pikachu gave an exicted cry*

Pikachu: *waving to it's new friend* Pika..pikachu!

Ash: *reaches out to pet Venipede on the head* Nice to meet you Venipede! I'm Ash *the small centipede reacted thinking Ash was going to hurt it or it's trainer, by tackling Ash knocking him on his rear, Pikachu jumps to Kohana's shoulder in time* Ouch!

Spruce: Oh my..

Kohana: Ash, I'm sorry! *looks down at Venipede* Venipede, he's not going to hurt me or you...I promise!

Pikachu: *nods* Pika..

Venipede: *gives a low apologetic cry looking down at Ash* Veni..pede

Ash: *standing up brushing off his shoulders* It's alright, Venipede! That wouldn't be the first time something like happened to me.

Spruce: Your Venipede seems to be quite protective, I'd say it's already taken a shine to you Kohana. It will be easy to raise, do so with love and care and I can see you both going far together. Now then, here are your PokéDex, one for each of you. Also, while you both were waiting for Pikachu I took the liberty of registering you both for the Angelican League, you'll be able to challenge the Gyms and quite a bit more at your leisure *looks outside to notice the sun is starting to go down* The day is almost gone it seems, why don't you both get a good night's rest and start out in the morning

Kohana: That's not a bad idea *looks to Ash* What do you think of that?

Ash: I'd be ok with that, shall we had back to the Pokemon Center?

Kohana: Actually, I have a better idea in mind, that's a bit closer *looks to Spruce* may I use your phone professor for a moment, please?

Spruce: But of course...*shows her to an office the has video phone* Ash, would you and Pikachu like to have a bit of a look around?

Ash: Sure

Pikachu: Pika!

Kohana: Thank you *she closes the door a bit and goes to the PC/Video phone* I am not going back home that is for darn sure, I don't want Ash to see anything like that ever

James: *with Kohana on the phone with Napalm, James slowly sneaks in* There we go, easy peasy

Venipede: Pede? *it happens to see James climbing in, it gets nervous and goes to the back of Kohana neck under her hair* Veni...

James: *Jessie and Meowth climb in behind him, as he turns to give them the shh motion, pointing to Kohana who still unaware of them being there*

Napalm: *on the other side of the screen* That's not a problem, I understand...Go right ahead...great Pokemon you got by the way

Kohana: It's still a bit shy, thanks a bunch for the assist...I'll talk to you soon, take care *ends the call with him* that problem is solved

James: *looming behind her* While another problem begins

Kohana: Huh? *she turns around* You!

James: *places his hands on her shoulders*A moment of your time, young twerp

Jessie: I see you have this under control, James...we'll be seeking the storage room and the machine

Meowth: Later short stuff

-Jessie, Wobbuffet and Meowth leave the room to go explore the lab and look for the Poke'ball storage room, leaving Kohana with James, scene goes over to Ash and Pikachu with Professor Spruce-

Ash: So what is FATE exactly? How do you determine what someone gets for their first Pokemon?

Spruce: Numerous species of Pokemon are stored inside this machine, from bug types all the way to the newly discovered fairy types.. To answer how we determine what someone gets is all done randomly, the automated system scans the trainer like it did with Kohana...

Ash: Speaking of Kohana, she's been gone awhile

Spruce: Only a half hour

Ash: I'm gonna go check, I'll be right back

Pikachu: Pika *follows his trainer back towards the office where Kohana was*

-scene swaps to Kohana and James in the office, Kohana stood up only to a tiny bit above his elbow-

Kohana: *with James still holding her down* What do you want? *shes tries to push his hands off*

James: I just wanted introduce myself to you properly, I didn't get a chance to earlier... and to warn you to watch your step around us.

Kohana: Leave me alone

Jessie: Son of a...*re-enters the room with Meowth* To hell with this place, it's way to big.

James: Oh welcome back Jessie *turns his attention back to Kohana* and you really may want to watch yourself around her, she's worse than me

Jessie: *smirks and leans into Kohana's face* He's right about that, you know! I'm not someone to take lightly at all!

-Ash and Pikachu appear at the door enterance-

Ash: Koh, aren't you off the phone yet?

Jessie/James: Hmm? *looks back to see Ash and Pikachu standing in the door way*

Ash: You guys!

Pikachu: Chu..

Meowth: I say forget da machine *turns his attention to Pikachu* Let's just bag Pikachu

Ash: *gets mad seeing Jessie and James with Kohana* What are you doing to Koh?

Pikachu: Pika!

James: Just giving her a proper introduction...

Jessie: You know how it goes twerp, warning her to watch her step while with you

Ash: Don't you threaten her

Jessie: *rests her elbow on Kohana's head* Or else what?

Spruce: *walks into the room* What is going on in here?

Ash: They're here

James: You've been warned...*pushes Kohana away knockin her to the ground* And now we'll be helping ourselves to a Pikachu *pulling out an empty bubble cage, he extends the hand that was inside it grabbing Pikachu right off of Ash's shoulder and trapping it inside*

Ash: PIKACHU!

Pikachu: Pika..pi

Kohana: *is on the ground, Venipede crawls out from behind her* No..Venipede stay hidden

Meowth: Dat's one...*turns to Kohana* Now for whatever you's got

Venipede: Pede? *Jessie moves in from behind and scoops up Venipede in her bubble cage*

Jessie: Thank you, I'll take this little one here

Kohana: Venipede!*grabs for the other end* Give it back!

Jessie: I could, but I won't *easily yanks it away from Kohana, pushing her away*

James: Venipede huh? Not too shabby!

Meowth: Don't worry twerpette, we'll train it much better den you ever could...*tosses out one of there square device rings to bind Kohana, Ash and Spruce*

Jessie: *rejoins James and Meowth who are perched on the window to make there escape looks back to Kohana* Watch yourself around me, kid...you may one day regret it

Kohana: Look out *ducks out of the way, in the confusion Ash and Spruce are now bound*

Spruce: You can't just take someone else's Pokemon

James: Why not? It's what we do best!

Ash: Give em back

Pikachu: Pika..pi!

Venipede: Pede!

Meowth: You tell us da same thing every single time

Jessie: Youshould know by now that'll never work

James: Ta-ta!

*James tosses out another of their small square devices, billowing out a thick smoke screen, as the smoke begins to clear with Team Rocket gone...Kohana kneels down to tug at the device binding Ash and the Professor*

Ash: That Team Rocket...

Spruce: If we could just get free

Kohana: *tugging and strugglin to find a way to free the guys* I'll get you guys out of this, somehow.

Ash: Forget about us Koh, it's up to you!

Spruce: He's right, we'll get out of this and catch up to you. Stop them however you can before they get away

Ash: You can do it, Koh... I know you can

Kohana: *stands up* Okay, I'm on it!

Kohana rushes out and follows after Team Rocket, who is seen running down the path towards the other side of the small forest with Pikachu and Venipede in tow, with gleeful laughter

Jessie: That was almost TOO easy

Meowth: Our best haul yet, and with them twerps all tied up back der we're home free

Kohana: *comes running into view, several yards behind and gaining* STOP!

James: How the hell? *looks back to see Kohana catching up* Meowth, you missed one!

Pikachu: *smiles happily seeing Kohana pounds on the glass casing* Chu!

Venipde: *smiles as well seeing it's trainer* Pede..

Jessie: I don't know if you're brave or stupid, twerpette... To follow after us all alone like this

Kohana: I want those Pokemon back, right now!

Meowth: Not happening, beat it kid before ya get hurt!

James: We warned you twerpette *pulls out a Poké Ball along with Jessie, sliding to a halt to toss it into Kohana's path* Take care of her, Inkay

Inkay: *materializing from its ball, it floats into place in front of James* "Inkay…"

Kohana: No, I will not abandon my friends not now! Not ever!

Jessie: *tosses her own Poké Ball, materializing a bulbous pumpkin-shaped Pokémon* You're in way over your head, and I'll teach you why… Gourgeist, use Shadow Ball!

Gourgeist: *charges up a large purple color like ball pulsating* Gour!*shots right at Kohana* Geist!

Kohana: *stop just in time, as the Shadow Ball lands a few inches in front of her, the impact explodes forcing her to step back and shield her face from the dust and smoke* Grr!

Pikachu: *gasp* Pika!

Venipede: PEDE! *quivers with much aggravation inside the bubble cage seeing it's trainer in danger*

Jessie: *shakes the bubble cage* Settle down in there! Quit getting all fussy!

Kohana: Stop doing that to my Venipede! *clenching her nervously shaking fists, she watched as Jessie continued to rattle her precious partner, before narrowing her glare* That's it... Venipede, use Pin Missile!

Venipede: Veni...*angrily shoots out a series of small white projectiles, shatting the bubble cage to Jessie's surprise and curling into a ball to roll forward upon landing* Pede!

Jessie/James/Meowth: *gasps*

Kohana: Excellent Venipede, now free Pikachu! Pin Missile!

Venipede: Pede! *jumps up and fires another volley of pins in James' direction*

James: I don't wanna be pinned *panics and drops the cage, which shatters upon impatcing the ground*

Kohana: You ok, Pikachu?

Pikachu: *rejoins Kohana and Venipede* Chu *nods*

Meowth: Dey, got away! Well no of yous will be free for long, we'll just take you out kid and re-snag dem

Kohana: *steps in front of Pikachu and Venipede to protect them* Not happening, Meowth!

Ash: *running up the path with Prof. Spruce following closely* Pikachu! Kohana!

Pikachu: *runs up to his trainer happily and climbs onto his shoulder* Pika pi!

Spruce: Wonderful, they're both ok

Ash: Pikachu *hugs his partner* welcome back buddy *looks to Kohana* Thanks, Koh you did a great job

Kohana: Thanks but, you should really thank Venipede.. I didn't think it knew Pin Missle, I just took a shot in the dark and it worked

Venipede: *nods* Pede!

Ash: Great work, Venipede!

Spruce: The bond between the the two of you may be stronger then I had presumed, FATE was not wrong in pairing you both up

Jessie: *gritting her teeth with clear rage* Hey, you twerps! We're still here remember?

James: *also angered* And we're not leaving without those Pokemon... Inkay, Tackle!

Inkay: *goes charging at the group with it's Tackle* Ink...

Jessie: As for you... *staring angrily straight at Kohana* Gourgeist! Seed Bomb!

Gourgeist: *leaps up high, and fires it's Seed Bomb barrage in Kohana's direct* Geist!

Ash: Pikachu...Iron Tail on Inkay!

Kohana: Venipede, Pin Missle on Gourgeist!

Pikachu: Pika...*jumps into the air, a quick spin hardening it's tail into a metallic coating slamming right down on Inkay with considerable force* Pika...Chu!

James: Inkay!?

Inkay: Kay..*launched back from the impact falling faint at James' feet*

Venipede: Veni...pede *rapidly fire another barrage of pins, igniting the Seed Bomb in mid-air while the remaining pins battered Gourgeist and dropped it beside Inkay*

Kohana: That's showin em, Venipede!

Meowth: *appears in front of Pikachu with a net in hand* We'll at least get our main prize

Pikachu: *gasps as he spots the net* PIKA!

Kohana: No way, you're not getting anyone...Venipede's escape gave me an idea...Rollout, Venipede

Venipede: Pede...*curling into a ball, it begins charging full force at Meowth knocking him back into the fainted Inkay and Gourgeist, all three go flying back into Jessie and James knocking them over in the impact*

Ash: Our turn now...Pikachu...Thunderbolt

Pikachu: "Pika... Chuuuuuuuuuu!" *calling down a powerful lightning bolt, Pikachu directed its flow into Team Rocket's grounded crowd, a powerful explosive force rising up, but as the smoke cleared no sign remained*

Spruce: They're gone?

Kohana: No, look up there *points to the sky*

-Jessie, James and Meowth are seen in there jetpacks, battered and angered-

Jessie: This isn't the end, not by a long shot

Meowth: We'll be getting dat Pikachu soon enough and possibly dat Venipede, too!

James: Now that we know you two are related, things are going to get very interesting

Jessie: So, I suggest you watch yourselves twerps

Team Rocket escapes into the distance, leaving behind a hefty smoke trail from there jetpack exaust

Ash: Grr..they got away

Kohana: Not a bad way to exit, I guess

Pikachu: *with Venipede rejoin Ash and Kohana* Pika..chu

Spruce: The Pokemon are safe, and very much capable to boot, that's cause enough to celebrate, I'd say!

Kohana: *kneels down in front of her partner lifting it in a gentle hug* Venpiede, I'm so proud of you...our first battle together was wonderful; I'm really glad to have you by my side

Venipede: Veni..*smiles nuzzling it's trainer happily and smiling feeling the same way* Pede...

Ash: You two sure are a great duo, and your bond is strong already and it's only going to get stronger form here on

Pikachu: *nods* Pika

Spruce: He's right, Koh; your adventures have only begun...you have much potential for growth ahead of you!

Venipede: *curls up in Kohana's arms and falls asleep* Pede

Kohana: Thanks all of you *pulls out Venipede's Poke'ball* Have a great rest, Venipede *recalls Venipede*

Ash: Hey, excuse me professor

Spruce: Yes, Ash?

Kohana: Didn't you have stuff you wanted to show us, Ash was really curious about the lab and wanted to learn more about FATE

Spruce: Well thanks to that Team Rocket, things didn't go according to plan

Kohana: Darn those guys

Ash: Don't worry, Koh...we can see it next time we're here for now why don't we grab a bite to eat and rest

Spruce: Oh yes, that reminds me *from his pocket, he pulls two sleek metallic cases, handing each to the young Trainers* I took the liberty of contacting Nurse Joy in Amethyst Town, she's expecting two new registrants for the League, I'll be looking forward to seeing you both acquire all 8 badges

Kohana: This region is so vast, there is a gym for each type somewhere in the region but you only have to collect 8 of the badges, not all trainers begin here in Scorodite, right Professor?

Spruce: Well said! Napalm gave you alot of information, you will meet some of the other professor who also hand out beginner Pokemon with the same system I'm sure

Ash: Koh said the battles are conducted a bit differently here...is that true?

Kohana: Oh yeah...you see each year or every couple years they change how the format works for all the gyms and the league

Spruce: The Battle Format this year is Tag Team, once you arrive in Amethyst Town you'll want to speak to Nurse Joy immediately. She will assist you and explain any questions you may have.

Ash: Tag Team huh, well Pikachu are you ready for a new reigon and adventure

Pikachu: *flexes and cheers* Pika..

Kohana: I hope you and I become a great team, Ash

Ash: Well we already proved that today, we work together well *places his arm over Kohana's shoulder* Let's continue to build on that

Pikachu: *cheers* Pika..pika!

The sun lowered to the late afternoon, Spruced waved to both trainers off as they walked the path toward Napalm's home which Kohana had made plans with earlier to crash at his place for the evening

Spruce: *waving goodbye to the kids* Take care of each other, out there!

Ash: We will, so long for now

Kohana: Thanks for everything, professor...we will be in touch

Kohana, Pikachu and Ash wave their goodbyes and head towards Napalm's turning their attention toward the new day that is coming up and whatever adventures awaited them both

Narrator: What adventures lie in store for Ash and Kohana? Tomorrow their journey through the Angelican Reigon begins!
