Somewhere in the Present
Trina groaned as she sat up. She rubbed her aching head as she looked around. Dustin was next to her, groaning himself.
She asked, "Dustin, are you okay?"
Dustin nodded as he answered, "Yeah, I'm okay. Just wondering where we are."
Trina stated, "Yeah, me too."
"Hey! You there!"
Both Trina and Dustin spun around as they saw a rather rough looking trainer. And he was pointing straight at Trina.
Trina asked, "And you are...?"
The man answered, "My name is Robert. And I am here to battle any Pokemon trainer. You look like a rather strong opponent."
Dustin got in the middle as he stated, "Now hold on. If you want her, you will have to go through me, her brother."
"Very well," Robert replied, throwing a poke ball.
With a flash of light, a Swoobat appeared.
"Swoo," said the Courting Pokemon.
Dustin saw a pond nearby as he threw his poke ball. With a flash of light, a Dewgong appeared.
"Dew," said the Sea Lion Pokemon.
Robert commanded, "Swoobat, Psychic!"
Swoobat's eyes started to glow a blue color and before it could control the Water/Ice type, Dustin reacted.
Dustin countered, "Dewgong, Aurora Beam!"
Dewgong's horn started to glow as a rainbow light hit the Psychic/Flying type rather hard.
I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause
I will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach Pokémon to understand
The power that's inside
(Power inside)
Pokémon... It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Ooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Meanwhile in Kalos; Ash was battling a trainer (after blasting off Team Rocket yet again), whom was using an Ariados. The Long Leg Pokemon looked rather scary as it spun its Spider Web.
The trainer commanded, "Ariados, String Shot!"
Ariados fired the white string straight at Pikachu.
Ash quickly reacted, "Pikachu, use Quick Attack to dodge!"
Pikachu quickly dodged the white string and ran straight at Ariados with blinding speed, hitting the Bug/Poison type. Serena cheered rather loudly for her crush, much to Clemont's disappointment. Oh how he wanted to be the one that she would cheer for and NOT Ash. Bonnie felt bad for her older brother but knew that she would keep trying to get Serena to be Clemont's wife.
Pokémon!
A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you
Po-ké-mon
(Gotta catch 'em)
Gotta catch 'em
Gotta catch 'em all
Ev'ry challenge along the way
With courage I will face
I will battle ev'ry day
To claim my rightful place
In Sinnoh, Paul and Misty were having their battle. Paul had wisely gone with Electivire while Misty was using Corsola.
Paul commanded cooly, "Electivire, Brick Break."
"Elect," said the electric type as its arm started to glow a white color.
Misty quickly reacted, "Corsola, Spike Cannon!"
"Corsola," said the Water/Rock type as it fired the glowing pins at Electrivire.
The Spike Cannon hit its mark, making the Brick Break stop in its tracks. Reggie was rather impressed by Misty's strength, remembering his own battle with Daisy way back when. Ranee and Maylene were rather impressed as well. Ranee had never battled Misty either but was rather impressed by what she saw. The Water Pokemon gym leader was good.
Come with me, the time is right
There's no better team, yeah!
Arm in arm we'll win the fight
It's always been our dream
(It's always been our dream)
Pokémon... It's you and me
I know it's my destiny
(Pokémon!)
Ooh, you're my best friend
In a world we must defend
Dustin commanded, "Dewgong, Blizzard!"
Dewgong took a deep breath as it expelled the chilling Ice type move towards Swoobat.
The trainer yelled, "Dodge it!"
But it was too late. Blizzard had taken out the Psychic/Flying type pretty easily, leaving the trainer to gap at Dewgong's power. Trina celebrated her brother's victory as the trainer ran off, capturing the attention of Iris and Cilan. The Dragon trainer and the former gym leader were puzzled by this as Trina instantly knew where they were. They were in the Unova Region.
Pokémon... A heart so true
Our courage will pull us through
You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon!
Pikachu had defeated Ariados as the trainer recalled it and ran off.
"We did it, Pikachu," Ash cheered, hugging the electric type.
"Pika pi," Pikachu replied, smiling.
As his friends congratulated him, Ash looked out towards the field and could've sworn that he saw the ghosts of Misty and Brock. They were cheering for them - just as they did when he was a rookie. It brought a sudden tear to his eye. While he did miss them both dearly (and stayed in touch with them every other day), he wished that they were traveling with them again.
"Ash?"
The raven haired trainer looked and saw that Serena had called him, looking quite worried.
"Yes?" He asked.
"Are you okay?" She questioned.
Ash looked out towards the field and saw that the ghosts were gone as he answered, "Y-yeah...I'm fine..."
Serena frowned at this as she wondered if Ash was telling the truth or not.
Pokémon... It's you and me
I know it's my destiny

Gotta catch 'em
Gotta Catch 'em all!
Pokémon!
As Electivire went down to Corsola, making Paul furious, Misty celebrated. She was really proud of her Pokemon as she looked out towards the forest, seeing the spirit of Ash there. She tried not to gasp as she saw the smile on his face. Her knees nearly turned to jelly. She was in love with him. It wasn't until Maylenne came up to her and congratulated her for her victory. Oh how she wanted to see Ash again...but the next time...she hoped it was in person...
