This is my first Fan-Fic ever, so critiques are very welcome :)

Hope you guys enjoy the story I have spent a few days trying to get this fist chapter straight in my head.

I don't own Pokemon, Pokemon is owned by Nintendo

The Plan

The room in which Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, sat was pitch black and the only sound that could be heard was the purring of his ever present Persian sitting by his side. The room grew bright as the door leading into his office opened wide to allow scores of Team Rocket agents to push their way in.

One of the agents shoved their way to the front and reported, "All one hundred of your very best agents are accounted for sir!"

Slowly Giovanni turned his chair to face the crowd of people before him. A slow grin spread across his face as he addressed his agents, "As some of you may know my recent plans have taken me to the region of Unova, a place full of pathetic people and Pokemon." gradually the grin disappeared and became replaced with a frown as he remembered all that had take place in Unova. "There, I tried to conquer the country with a Pokemon named...Meloetta. Now I know...that feeble Pokemon means nothing, a Pokemon much greater exists, greater than any legendary Pokemon and that Pokemon is a Pikachu. It is no mere Pikachu though, its level far exceeds any Pokemon." Giovanni explained as he recalled the memory of the Electro Ball that it created. "This Pikachu is the partner of a young man named Ash Ketchum, I know you have heard of him, very few people haven't. I want you to find that Pikachu and bring it back to me."

The crowd of Team Rocket agents saluted in unison then departed from the room. Only two agents remained behind as they had been told to do so before entering the room.

"You there, come forward." commanded Giovanni. "I have a special task for you. The finding of that Pikachu is only part of the plan, I want you to capture his trainer too, but make sure he doesn't have any Pokemon with him when you do so. Ash Ketchum is a vital part of my plan."

Meanwhile...

"Are we nearly there yet?" Ash asked his companion Cilan. He was growing weary of having to turn down battles due to his Pokemon being tired from previous challenges.

"Ugh..you're such a kid." Muttered Iris, "But really Cilan, how far are we from the Pokemon Centre?"

Cilan grinned as he consulted his electronic map book, "Well if we take this turn up here we should find the Pokemon Centre ahead of us." he replied as he pointed at the dusty road ahead of them.

The walls of rock on either side of the road rose higher as the three travelling companions raced for the Pokemon Centre for some well deserved rest. As they rounded the bend the large building came into sight. Letting out a cry of joy, Ash and Iris raced ahead as Cilan followed wearily behind them, glad to have some rest from looking after his two childish companions.
