Author's Note:

Okay, so it begins. This chapter is similar to the anime, but Team Rocket actually find out about Serena (in case you didn't get the memo, this is a squeal, so please read SIS: Wallace Cup, first). I will also try and make these chapters, monthly updates, as this is the side project. So, enjoy...

I do not own Pokemon... boohoo


Chapter 1: The Thief That Keeps on Thieving

"It isn't just a dream." Dawn repeated as she stared at her newly won Wallace Ribbon. "My second ribbon.".

"It's real and it's great." Brock commented, praising the coordinator.

"You were great, Dawn." Serena chimed in, as she was walking hand in hand with Ash. It has been two days since May departed and Serena has fitted in great. Sure, Dawn got a little weirded out when she found out they share a bed, while Brock just broke down as he was beaten by Ash to finding true love. Although everyone gets on fine.

"Yeah, and now it's my turn." Ash declared, pumping his fist in the air.

"Pika-pi." Pikachu added from atop his shoulder. Serena giggled at her boyfriend's antics.

"Badge number four, here I come." Ash continued. Serena planted a quick kiss on Ash's cheek.

"I know you'll do great." Serena encouraged, before resting her head on his shoulder.

Dawn pulled a disgusted face, while pointing her finger towards her mouth, making a sick motion. While she gets on with Serena, and is happy for the couple, she isn't so happy with all of the lovey-dovey actions... That should be saved for their alone time, and romantic movies.

A red flying Pokemon flew towards the group and landed on Dawn's head. Everyone stopped and turned towards her. Dawn pulled out her Pokedex and scanned the bug on her head:

Yanma, the Clear Wing Pokémon. Its eyes can see a full 360 degrees around without moving its head.

"It's a Yanma." Brock stated. Yanma flew off Dawn's head, and landed on Brock. Than it hopped on to Ash's, before a figure could be spotted walking towards them. Yanma flew away. The figure turned out to be a boy.

"Excuse me..." The boy spoke, grabbing everyone's attention. "You haven't seen a Yanma, have you?".

"Actual yes." Serena replied. "It just took off over the lake.".

"Okay, thank you." The boy replied, before running off in the same direction.

"Let's go to." Ash suggested.

"Okay." Serena, Brock and Dawn replied in unison. The group started running after the boy.


"Okay Pippy, go!" The boy yelled as he threw his Pokeball. A Piplup, wearing a tiara, appeared and entered a battle stance. "Use Peck, Pippy!". The Piplup's beck glew white as the water type soared towards the bug type.

Yanma took off from the rock it was stationed on, dodging the peck attack as Pippy crashed into said rock. The group arrived, and stood behind the boy.

"Whoa, I think he's trying to catch that Yanma." Ash exclaimed, getting excited to see a battle.

"And he's got a Piplup named Pippy too." Dawn added.

"I hope he catches it." Serena added as she re-latched onto Ash's arm after the run here.

The Yanma flapped its wings, and fired off a sonic boom. It struck Pippy mid-air, knocking the water type back.

"You've got to dodge, quicker!" Ash shouted, which gained the boy's attention.

"Hey... Pippy, are you okay?" The boy asked, as his water type pushed itself up.

"Pip Piplup." Pippy declared.

"Okay then, let's use Pound." The boy instructed.

Pippy's arm glew white as the water type jumped towards the airborne Yanma. Yanma simple moved to the side, avoiding the attack, and slammed its wings into the defenceless Piplup, using Wing Attack.

"Huh?" The boy questioned as he looked up at the bug type. Yanma stared back at the boy, before turning and flying over the water. "Aww man. Another try and another miss.".

"Pip... Pip Piplup." Pippy came over and muttered sadly. The boy looked up at his sad water type.

"It's okay Pippy." The boy reassured. "It wasn't your fault.".

"Piplup." Pippy added, in the same low tone.


"Cool." Ash spoke as he sat down, next to Serena, who handed him a water container. "Thank you.". Ash took a drink of the water.

"So, you chose Piplup as your first Pokemon?" Serena asked.

"Right." The boy replied. "I decided I was going to start out my journey, with a water type.".

"Piplup was my first Pokemon two." Dawn interjected. She turned to the two Piplup's, her own and Pippy. "Pippy, it's nice to meet you.". Pippy turned to the blue haired coordinator, and waved happily. Dawn turned back to the boy. "My names Dawn.".

"I'm Ash." Ash added. "And this is my girlfriend, Serena.".

"Hello." Serena waved, slightly blushing as she isn't use to Ash introducing her like that.

Pikachu was rather annoyed, and 'lightly' zapped Ash, who fell of his seat. Once he recovered he shot up and stared Pikachu down. Sure, he knows Ash has been in love with this girl since before their journey began, but if she takes first introductions, what's next? Pikachu's riding shoulder, she already likes to lean her head on one shoulder. The victory pose when they catch a friend, or win a gym badge? Or even... His Ketchup...

"What was that for!?" Ash angrily asked.

"Pi Pik-a-chu Pi!" Pikachu retorted.

"Your mad because I introduced Serena before you?" Ash questioned.

"Pikachu." The electric mouse nodded affirmatively.

"Sorry buddy, I'll introduce you as well next time." Ash apologised as he sat back in his seat. Pikachu was happy with his response and jumped onto Ash's lap.

"Cu Pikachu Pi." Pikachu told Ash.

"It's alright buddy." Ash replied before turning to the boy. "And this is my partner Pikachu.". Pikachu waved hello, happily, as both trainer and Pokemon failed to notice the sweat drops, on everyone surrounding them.

"And my name is Tyler." The boy introduced himself.

"Hi Tyler." Brock greeted, offering his hand to shake, which Tyler accepted. "I'm Brock.".

"That tiara looks great on you." Serena commented to the female water type. Pippy seemed happy at the compliment.

"It was a gift from my mother, for our journey." Tyler explained.

"How long have you been on your journey Tyler?" Ash asked.

"Urg..." Tyler muttered as he began to think. "It's been a week.".

"Sounds to me like you're just starting out on your journey." Brock added.

"Hmm umm." Tyler nodded. "See, I decided right away that I would try and catch the first Pokemon I was able to touch, and that is the Yanma you saw... It's been three days now, but it always seems to get away from me.".

"Three days?" Ash questioned.

"Wow, your first catch." Dawn interjected with excitement. "I remember how long it took me, to finally catch Buneary.".

"It was my Caterpie." Ash added, as he thought back, fondly. "I was so excited, right Pikachu.".

"It was Geodude for me." Brock replied. "My dad took me too Mt. Moon, just to catch it.".

"And Roserade was mine." Serena added. All the gang (except Tyler), stood up in unison.

"Tyler, how about we help you in catching your first Pokemon?" Ash offered.

"Wow..." Tyler replied, as he stood up as well. "Thank you.".


Ash, Serena, Dawn and Brock got to work, with Tyler, looking for Yanma. Ash sent Staravia out to search from the sky, early on into the search. Nearly two hours past, with the group searching in bushes, trees and anything they could find.

"Huh?" Ash spotted his normal flying type return. He landed on a branch, facing Ash. "Staravia, did you find anything?".

"Star star, Staravia, Star." Staravia pointed his wind to the left, while speaking in his native tongue. It didn't take a genius to work it out. Ash was getting pumped up just by the possibility of running into it.

"Hey guys!" Ash shouted to the group, causing them to turn to him. "Staravia's spotted Yanma.". Hearing the news, the group took off in the direction, led by Ash and Staravia.


"Alright Pippy, Bubble go!" Tyler shouted.

Yanma was startled by the nose and couldn't concentrate. Soon she was hit by Piplup's bubble attack.

"Now use Peck!" Tyler continued, clearly excited, this is going much better.

Not giving Yanma chance to counter or dodge, Pippy soared at the bug type with a glowing white beck, and hit her centre, causing a critical hit. Yanma fell towards the ground, clearly injured, but not out.

"It looks like Tyler is getting the hang of it." Dawn commented.

"Keep it up, Tyler!" Ash encouraged.

"I didn't know a battle with a wild Pokemon could be so intense." Serena commented.

"Now use Pound!" Tyler finished.

Pippy dived towards the injured bug, but it shot away with incredible speed. It looped around and was charging for Pippy.

"That's Yanma's quick attack." Brock pointed out.

"Tyler, intercept it!" Ash shouted.

"Peck again, Pippy." Tyler instructed, trying to keep a cool head.

Pippy soared towards Yanma with the glowing beck and the two collided. Thanks to the damage he has already taken, Yanma couldn't match Pippy and took the full force of the Peck attack. Yanma crashed onto the ground, near the lake.

"Now Tyler!" Ash shouted. "The Pokeball!".

"And make it a good throw!" Brock added. Tyler unclipped a Pokeball from his belt and enlarged it.

"Alright... GO!" Tyler shouted as he prepared to throw the Pokeball. Bubbles started surfacing from the body of water next to Yanma, stopping Tyler from throwing the Pokeball. "Huh?". A giant Magikarp surfaced. Everyone gasped.

"Oh no!" Ash exclaimed. The top of the Magikarp opened, and Team Rocket popped up.

"Is that the sound of negativity I hear?" Jessie asked.

"It's speaking to me, loud and clear." James added.

"On the wind." Jessie recited.

"Past the starts." James recited.

"In your ear." Meowth recited.

"Bringing chaos at a break neck pace." Jessie added.

"Dashing all hope, putting fear in its place." James added.

"A rose by any other names, just as sweet." Jessie recited.

"When everything's worse, our work is complete." James recited.

"It's Jessie.".

"And it's James.".

"Meowth, that's a name.".

"Putting you do-gooders, in your place." Jessie struck a dramatic pose.

"Team Rocket." James struck a dramatic pose.

"In your face." The trio finished in unison.

"Urg, Team Rocket." Dawn rolled her eyes.

"Time to take the game." Jessie simply tossed a Pokeball towards the downed Yanma. "Underhand.". The Pokeball struck Yanma, who was sucked in side. Everyone, apart from Team Rocket gasped, the ball shook a few times, before dinging, to show a successful catch. Meowth retrieved the Pokeball with a hand device.

"Ash." Serena spoke, worried, as she clutched Ash's arm, hiding slightly behind him. "What's Team Rocket?".

"I bunch of bad guys, who steal other people's Pokemon." Ash replied, clenching his fist. "... But now that I think about it, this is the first time they actually succeeded.".

"Hey, who's the new twerpette?" James asked, as he spotted Serena.

"And why is she so close to the main twerp?" Meowth asked.

"Oh, this is Serena." Dawn introduced the two. "She's Ash's girlfriend... Now give Yanma back.".

"No kidding, the twerp got himself a gal." James remark, sounding impressed. "I thought he'd go for the water training twerpette, myself.".

"Really, I always thought he'd go for the Hoenn twerpette." Meowth replied.

"Oh, will you two shut up!" Jessie yelled at them. "I don't care if he's with, the water twerpette, the Hoenn twerpette, or the breeding twerp. We already caught this thing, so let's just go.". The boys agreed and they re-entered their submarine, closing the top. They re-entered the water.

"Aww..." Tyler slumped down in disappointment. "And I was just about to make my first catch.".

"Tyler!" Ash shouted as the group ran to his side.


"Pip... Piplup Pip." Piplup told Dawn from the lake bed.

"No luck, huh." Dawn replied as she stood up. Ash approached her.

"Team Rocket's got to be around here." Ash clenched his fist. Brock, Serena and Tyler all approached, as well.

"But Ash, I thought we couldn't do anything since that women caught Yanma in a Pokeball." Serena pointed out.

"Well the truth is, there is a lot of lakes and ponds around here." Brock explained. "And they could all be connected underwater.".

"Urg, I can't believe what Team Rocket did." Ash shouted in frustration. "Steeling someone's first caught Pokemon.".

"Calm down Ash." Serena told her boyfriend, rubbing his back in a soothing manor.

"And after trying and trying to try and catch Yanma for the past three days..." Tyler moaned, on the verge of tears.

"Hey, don't do that." Ash ordered as he held his fist up, filled with determination.

"Huh?" Tyler questioned, stopping his tears and looking towards Ash.

"You can't quite after one defeat." Ash continued.

"Ash is right, Tyler." Serena added. "I was once told something, by a great person, and I think it would help you too.".

"What is it?" Tyler asked, curious.

"It's... Don't give up, until it's over." Serena replied, filled with determination. Ash blushed, at Serena's words and tried to sly move back so no-one noticed. Brock, however, knew that was one of Ash's saying, and gave the embarrassed Pokemon Master in training, a sly smile. Brock decided to drop it, for Ash's sake.

"They're right, Tyler." Brock spoke up. "Your journey's just starting. Believe me, your gonna need to deal with much harder stuff then this.".

"Don't worry." Dawn spoke up. "You stick with it, and I'm sure you and your Pippy are going to be just fine.".

"Yeah, this is certainly no time for you to give up." Brock replied. "It's true that once a Pokemon's captured, that's that.".

"So, now's the perfect time for you to set your sights on a new Pokemon." Serena spoke up. Filled with determination, Tyler stood up.

"Yeah." Tyler exclaimed, filled with determination.

"Huh?" Ash questioned as he turned to a buzzing sound. Another Yanma flew towards them. "Another Yanma.".

"Yan Yanma." The bug buzzed as it flew across the lake.

"Hey, why not go and catch that one." Dawn suggested.

"Great!" Tyler exclaimed, as he quick grabbed his bag and took off after the Yanma.

"Tyler, wait up!" Serena shouted, as the group quickly followed behind.


"That's what we call a dishonest day's work." The Team Rocket trio sat on the floor, speaking in unison.

"Poaching tired Pokemon, conserves energy." James informed.

"Doing our part to make the world a bit greener." Jessie happily replied.

"And the sooner we pass it on to the boss, the sooner we stop taking a loss." Meowth added.

The trio packed up and set off for the nearest pay phone. It was sunset as the Pokemon they were waiting for arrived.

"Ah, it's here." Jessie pointed out. "Team Rocket's Delibird.".

"Ahoy Delibird." James signalled the ice flying type.

"Point that beck down here." Meowth added. Delibird landed in front of them. Jessie placed the package in Delibird's hand.

"Easy does it." Jessie told Delibird. "No pressure, but you lose this, you lose everything.". Delibird sweat dropped.

"De bi bi." Delibird replied, putting the package into its bag, before taking off again.

"Give it to the boss, with my compliments." Meowth shouted.

"And my compliments too." James added.

"If you know what's good for you." Jessie also shouted.

"All of our past, get rich quick schemes, and we finally come up with a plot proof plan." Meowth cried, happy.

"Throw enough spaghetti against the wall and something is bond to stick." James cried. "And nothing is stickier then success.".

"By using repetitive motions to beat the odds." Jessie also cried. "We're becoming the Sinnoh stars, we were destined to be.".


The group have been looking around the forest for hours, in an attempt to find that new Yanma for Tyler to catch. Ash even sent Staravia back out to help search for the bug type. The normal flying type returned and landed in front of Ash.

"Star Star, Staravia." Staravia confessed, looking down.

"You lost track of Yanma, didn't ya." Ash guessed.

"And it's getting dark." Serena pointed out.

"Maybe we should just call it a day for now." Dawn suggested. "Don't ya think, Tyler.". Tyler nodded in agreement.

The group set up camp. Brock was on cooking duties, while Ash and Tyler set up the tents, four in total. Tyler was a little embarrassed when he questioned Ash to find out the couple share a tent. Serena prepared the Pokemon food while Dawn went looking for firewood. Once it was all done and they finished eating, they each took it in turns to change into their nightwear. Brock also did the washing up.

They were all sat around the camp fire. Ash had Serena resting her head on his shoulder with her eyes closed, with Pikachu fast asleep on his lap, while the other three were scattered around the fire as well. All the other Pokemon, aside from Pikachu were resting in their Pokeballs.

"This is the first time I've camped out." Tyler explained.

"And what did you think of Brock's cooking?" Ash asked. "Was it the best, or what.".

"There's nothing like travelling with a great friend, who's a great chef." Dawn added.

"Hehehe, guys." Brock sheepishly replied. Ash pulled out his Sinnoh badge case.

"These are the gym badges I've gotten in the Sinnoh region so far." Ash showed them to Tyler.

"These are great, Ash, good for you." Tyler exclaimed, excited.

"And these are my contest ribbons." Dawn showed off her two ribbons.

"Awe, wow." Tyler exclaimed as he looked at the ribbons.

"Contest battles have their own unique style, and are fun too." Dawn explained.

"That's sounds cool." Tyler replied. "I was planning on competing in gym battles, but Pokemon contests sound great too.". Tyler finished his sentence with a yawn.

"It looks like it's time for bed." Brock commented.

"Right, we have a big tomorrow if we're going to find that Yanma." Ash replied as he stood, using his arm to support Serena, who refused to move her head from his shoulder.

"I guess this is good night." Dawn added. As the group made their ways into their respective tents.


In Kanto, it is currently day time, due to the time difference between Kanto and Sinnoh. At the Rocket HQ, two grunts just entered Giovanni's officer with the Yanma, Jessie, James and Meowth sent.

"What do you want?" The business-like man asked, as he stroked his normal type. "Do you like that, Persian.".

"We have a special delivery for Jessie, James and Meowth." One grunt replied.

"Jessie, James and Meowth?" Giovanni questioned.

"Rocket Agents based in the Sinnoh region, sir." The second grunt replied.

"What do they want?" Giovanni asked.

"It's a Pokeball, sir." The first grunt replied, showing it to Giovanni. Giovanni turned towards a laptop on his desk, and nodded his head towards. The second grunt opened it, and placed the Pokeball next to it. The laptop scanned the Pokeball:

Pokeball contents: Yanma. Female. Ability: Speed Boost. Its usable moves: Wing Attack, Quick Attack, Sonic Boom, Ancient Power, Tackle, Foresight, Pursuit.

"Our supply?" Giovanni asked.

"We have recently received a large number of Yanma, sir." The first grunt explained.

"What shall we do sir?" The second grunt asked.

"Let's see..." Giovanni pondered as he petted his Persian.


After another great breakfast, cooked by Brock, the gang got to work searching for Yanma again. While Ash, Serena, Dawn and Tyler were looking around (with Staravia circling the sky), Brock was busy putting his plan into action.

"And its finally done." Brock spoke, showing a bowl of Pokemon food to the group.

"What's that Brock?" Serena asked.

"What better way to attract Yanma then mix in the fruit it loves with some of my bug type Pokemon food." Brock explained.

"Oh yeah, I can remember Heracross always loved your bug type Pokemon food." Ash replied.

"Wow Brock, that's a great idea." Tyler exclaimed.

Brock carefully placed the bait on the ground, and hid behind a bush, with everyone else. They waited for half an hour when Yanma showed up. The bug type landed by the food, and started eating the bait.

"Pippy, use Bubble!" Tyler shouted.

Pippy unleashed her bubble attack, which hit Yanma taking the early lead in the battle.

"Now Peck, Go!" Tyler continued.

Pippy's beck glew white as the water type soared towards Yanma, landing the Peck dead on. Yanma didn't fall back, and instead hit Pippy with his wings, knocking Pippy into the ground. Yanma used Wing Attack. Yanma dived at Pippy, ready to use another Wing Attack.

"Quick Tyler, Pippy needs to dodge!" Ash shouted.

"Right." Tyler replied. "Roll out of the way, Pippy, and use Pound.".

Pippy rolled out of the way of Yanma, who struck the ground with his second Wing Attack. Pippy jumped above Yanma and struck the bug in the back with her flipper, using Pond. Yanma landed on the ground.

"Quick Tyler, use the Pokeball." Dawn shouted. Tyler grabbed his spare Pokeball ready to throw it, but the Team Rocket trio ran out in front of the downed Yanma.

"Hold it, twerps." Jessie ordered.

"Come on, not you guys." Ash whined.

"That's denial." Jessie replied as she threw her Pokeball. "Yanma, let's go.". Jessie's new bug type appeared, and entered a battle stance.

"When it comes to Yanma, life is much better in pairs." Meowth explained.

"Not even you guys would try that again." Ash replied, gripping a Pokeball.

"Tyler deserves to catch that Yanma, and that's what's going to happen." Dawn also gripped a Pokemon.

"And we will make sure of that." Serena also gripped a Pokeball.

"Chimchar, I choose you!" Ash shouted as he released his fire type.

"Buneary, you help out too!" Dawn shouted as she released her normal type.

As soon as Buneary appeared, she hopped over to Pikachu and began to cuddle up against him. Pikachu sweat dropped, he has tried to tell her that he doesn't feel the same, but Buneary doesn't seem to understand.

"Awe, Buneary has a crush on Pikachu." Serena cooed. "That's so cute.".

"Buneary, we have a battle." Dawn deadpanned. The normal type blushed and hopped over next to Chimchar.

"Carnivine, you get a piece of the action too." James shouted. The grass type appeared, and immediately bite down on James' head. "Ow, I said get a piece of the action, not a piece of me.". Carnivine let go, and joined Yanma in a battle stance. Serena was sweat dropping.

"Does... That happen a lot?" Serena asked.

"You have no idea." Ash replied, shaking his head, before focusing back on the battle.

"Fennekin, I need your help!" Serena shouted. Serena's fire Type lined up with the three other Pokemon. The two sides stared each other down.

"Wow, that's a rare Pokemon I'll tell ya." Meowth commented, seeing the Kalos native fire type. "If we sent that to the boss, we would really be living the high life.".

"Then the target is set. Sonic Boom, Yanma!" Jessie shouted. Yanma fired several Sonic Booms towards the trio of Pokemon.

"Use Dig and dodge it, Chimchar!" Ash shouted. Chimchar dug underground.

"Buneary, jump and use Ice Beam!" Dawn shouted. Buneary jumped out of the way, and fired an Ice beam at Yanma, who flew out of the way.

"Fennekin, you dodge to!" Serena shouted, she isn't an experienced battler, and is just following Ash's lead. Fennekin tried to dodge, but wasn't quick enough. She took the Sonic Boom and skidded back, taking some damage. "Oh no, Fennekin.".

"Bullet Seed, Carnivine!" James shouted. Carnivine fired a barrage of Bullet Seeds towards Fennekin. Serena was scared, as she doesn't know what to do.

"Chimchar quick, resurface and use Flamethrower!" Ash shouted. Chimchar jumped out of the ground, in between Fennekin and the Bullet Seed. Seeing the incoming Bullet Seed, he opened his mouth and let out a stream of flames. It easily over powered Bullet Seed, and struck Carnivine, engulfing him in flames.

"Thank you, Ash." Serena replied gratefully. Fennekin was looking at the fire monkey, in awe.

"Don't mention it." Ash reassured her. "Now Chimchar, finish this off with Scratch!". As the flames held Carnivine in place, Chimchar jumped towards the grass type, ready to finish this battle.

"Oh, no you don't, Quick Attack Yanma." Jessie countered. Yanma shot off towards Chimchar at an incredible speed.

"Flame Wheel, and counter it Chimchar!" Ash shouted. Chimchar curled up into a battle, as flames surrounded him. He shot off towards Yanma. Due to Yanma's weakness to fire, Yanma was over powered again, and knocked away.

"What do you twerp's thing you're doing, play with are perfectly gifted Yanma straight from the boss!" Meowth exclaimed.

"It's that sort of insensitivity that needs to be repaid in spades!" James exclaimed.

"You best be prepared to dig deep!" Jessie exclaimed.

"Because I'm digging deep with my Fury Swipes!" Meowth shouted as he lunged at Chimchar, scratching the fire type multiple times with his extended claws.

"Now Carnivine, Use Vine Whip and get us that fox as compensation." James instructed. Carnivine unleashed two vines which shot towards the fire fox.

"Ice Beam, Buneary!" Dawn shouted. Buneary fired an Ice beam at Carnivine, freezing him in his tracks. Carnivine was sent flying towards James. Carnivine couldn't continue.

"Now Yanma, use Wing Attack!" Jessie shouted. Yanma made a b-line for Chimchar.

"Dodge and use Ember!" Ash shouted. Chimchar jumped out of the way, dodging Yanma's Wing Attack, and fired off multiple Ember's at the bug flying type. Yanma was knocked away, taking lots of damage.

"Is it proper manors to grill a gift!" Jessie exclaimed.

As Yanma recovered from the fire type attack, she formed a sphere of a silvery colour, and threw it at Chimchar. The attack was Ancient Power. Yanma glew white and when it stopped, she had evolved into a Yanmega.

"Yanma evolved into Yanmega!" Brock exclaimed. Ash brought out his Pokedex to scan the new opponent:

Yanmega, the Ogre Darner Pokémon. When it flutters its wings, it creates a shock wave that can cause internal damage to its opponents.

"Ash, aren't Pokemon supposed to get stronger when they evolve?" Serena asked, worried.

"Yeah Serena..." Ash replied looking over the battle to try and find a weak point.

"What will we do now?" Serena asked.

"Then we will just need to hit even harder, together." Ash declared. "Flamethrower, Chimchar!". Chimchar jumped and fired a Flamethrower towards Yanmega.

"Buneary, use Ice Beam!" Dawn shouted Buneary jumped up and fired an Ice Beam.

"Bubble, Pippy!" Tyler joined in. Pippy jumped up and fired a Bubble into the mix. Serena smiled seeing the team work, and wanted to join in.

"Fennekin, you use Ember!" Serena shouted. Fennekin fired several small fireballs next to the other attacks. All the attacks combined together, caused a massive explosion, knocking an unconscious Yanmega into Jessie.

"Now Pikachu, finish with Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted. The electric type jumped in the air.

"Pik-A-Chu!" He shouted as he fired off a massive electrical shock towards the Team Rocket. Another explosion was caused, sending Team Rocket high into the sky.

"Team Rocket's Blasting Off Again!" The trio shouted in unison.

"Thank you, Ash." Serena thanked her boyfriend, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "If it wasn't for you, they might've gotten Fennekin.".

"It was nothing Serena." Ash reassured, placing his hands on her waist. She then pushed her lips in his, and the couple seemed oblivious to what was going on around them.

"Urg." Dawn made here throwing up face. She has nothing against them being a couple, but she doesn't want to see them, do that. Dawn then turned to Tyler, who also seemed a little weirded out. "Tyler, aren't you going to catch that Yanma?".

"Right." Tyler replied, ignoring the couple, he turned around to the weakened Yanma, who had slightly recovered, and was trying to push itself up. Tyler grabbed a spare Pokeball. "Go Pokeball!".

The Pokeball hit the weakened bug type, and sucked it inside. The ball started wiggling back and forth for about thirty seconds, before stopping, and dinging, showing a successful catch. Happy, Tyler ran up to the Pokeball contain his new Yanma.

"Yeah, I just caught... A Yanma!" Tyler exclaimed, holding the Pokeball up in the air. Pippy jumped next to him, also cheering.

"Pip Piplup!" Pippy cheered.

"Congratulations Tyler." Brock spoke as he stood next to Dawn.

"It's thanks to you guys." Tyler replied, scratching the back of his head. He then noticed Ash and Serena still haven't parted. "Um... Don't they need air, or something?".


"I'm heading over to Lake Valour." Tyler told the group. It was now sunset, and time for them to part ways.

"Best of luck on your journey." Serena replied.

"And you take good care of yourself." Ash added. Brock stepped forward.

"Here's a little something for your trip." Brock passed over a bag.

"Wow, thanks Brock." Tyler replied, accepting the bag. "That's so nice.".

"You're welcome." Brock replied.

"Good luck with your gym battles, Ash." Tyler told the raven-haired boy.

"Hey thanks." Ash replied.

"And good luck in your next contest, Dawn." Tyler turned to Dawn.

"Thank you." Dawn replied.

"I really think you should find some buddies to travel around with." Ash explained. "No what I mean.".

"Yeah... And find someone who can cook like Brock does." Tyler replied.

"That sounds like a plan." Serena replied.

"Okay, see you again sometime." Tyler turned around and started walking away.

"Take care of yourself." Brock called out.

"Yeah, take care." Dawn added. Soon Tyler was out of sight.

"Wow, just think of all the great friends and Pokemon Tyler's gonna meet." Ash spoke, as Serena latched onto his arm. Ash turned to her. "And that goes for you too.".

"Yeah, I can't wait to see the rest of the Sinnoh region." Serena replied, she then planted a quick peck on his lips. She wanted to continue but.

"Enough of that you two." Dawn told them. "Save it for your tent.".

"Right, we need to set up camp for the night." Brock added. The couple looked at each other, and then turned back to their travelling companions, they know that they are right.

"Okay guys..." Ash replied, before rubbing his stomach. "I'm starving.". The group laughed as they each got to work, setting up apart of camp for the night...


And... Done. Hope you liked the first chapter. Remember to Review, Follow and Favourite. Stay tuned for the next chapter: Chim Charred (where I diverge from the cannon, quite a bit). See ya later...
