I don't own Pokemon.


We now follow our heroes as they continue on their journey. They had stayed overnight at the Pokemon Center in Hearthome City. Of course, now, one year after Ash had received his Forest Bagde, the trio was walking along a mountain path towards Eterna City.

Why were they going back to Eterna City? For the Eterna City Forest Festival, of course. It only happened once every 5 years, and the three of them had decided to go back and celebrate with everyone. It promised them a week of fun times that they would remember for a very long time.

And with our heroes, comes Team Rocket. They still had their hearts set on capturing Pikachu, and the other Pokemon, so they were following our heroes back to Eterna. Of course, Dawn was the only one who really knew about the Forest Festival. She had told Ash and Brock about it, hence their decision to go there.

Unfortunately for Team Rocket however, they had no clue as to where the "Twerps" were headed. If they had known, they probably would have gone elsewhere. Why? Because Jessie and Meowth were afraid of depressing James. See, he gave his Cacnea to the leader of Eterna's Gym for training, and he still very much loved that Pokemon.

He had become so depressed after he'd given Cacnea to Gardenia. He'd perked up after he found out that Meowth and Jessie were trying to steal a Pokemon for him, to cheer him up. He hadn't looked back since that day. That was then. This is now.

Eterna City was dancing on the horizon. Of course, Jessie, James and Meowth were too busy trying to follow the "Twerps" stealthily to even notice where they were heading. Up ahead, Dawn clapped her hands in a childish manner, excited as she talked about previous Forest Festivals with Ash and Brock. Of course, they were out of the hearing range of Team Rocket.

The sun was high in the sky, and it was a beautiful day outside. Dawn's Sapphire blue eyes shone with excitement, and Ash looked just as excited. Brock appeared to remain calm, as he watched the two preteens discuss the Forest Festival.

He smiled at the closeness of the two preteens. Ash must have been one of the easiest people in the world to become friends with. And Dawn was an interesting new travelling companion who had saved Pikachu from team Rocket before she had even met Ash, or started to travel with them.

At the beginning Ash and Dawn had argued. Constant bickering. It got really really annoying, but now the two rarely argued with each other. They were so similar, yet so different. And Brock imagined that Ash and Dawn could keep a conversation going from sun-up to sun-up, every day of the week if they didn't need to sleep or eat, or do other daily activities.

But, they were fun to be around, and that's what counted. Suddenly, Brock stopped, and looked behind them. He could have sworn that he heard something rustling in the bushes! After a few long moments of silence, as both Dawn and Ash had stopped walking and talking a second after Brock had.

Shrugging it off, Brock started walking again, dismissing the sounds as nothing. The wind, or a wild Pokemon, or even his imagination. It didn't matter. They had Pokemon to protect themselves if they needed to.

And although we know that everyone loves Ash, Brock and Dawn, we must move on. We must return to the stars of this story. Team Rocket. Jessie, James, and Meowth. For once, it's all about them, and the hardships that they are soon to face.

And now for the moment you've all been waiting for, our Story is going to begin.


Now, I'm off to work on Chapter 1

Hope you enjoyed my overly vague introduction to the story ;)
