AN: This chapter will stay true to episode 2 of the story, with my own quirks put inside. So please read and review. Again I will only need 5 reviews to update again!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON OR KAMEN RIDER OOO!

Last time these there things happened:

First, the birth of the Greeed occurred in modern day!

Second, Ash meets a floating Greeed arm by the name of Ankh!

And lastly, Ash becomes Kamen Rider OOO!

Now on with the story!

Ash stared at Ankh as he possessed Max's body. "This body is a bit...scrawny for me, but I guess this will have to do," Ankh sighed as he looked at himself. Using the red Greeed arm and took of the glasses and examined them. "This boy's eyes are terrible, but with me here I can see just fine." Ankh then put away the glasses in his pocket, just in case he may need it. Walking up to Ash, he grabbed the OOO driver."Now Ash, I need you to collect all these cell medals for me." When he said that Ash frowned.

"Hey I may be helping you, but I'm not your servant," Ash frowned. The two were going to keep arguing but the sounds of bird pokemon chirping got their attention. Looking towards the sky, the two saw a flock of red metal birds. They swooped down and began to pick up all the medals.

"Oi!" Ankh shouted. "Give those to me! Those are mine!" Ankh argued trying to get the medals from the metal birds. It was all in vain. The birds flew off, with Ankh managing to only get one medal. "Tch." Turning around he grabbed Ash by his collar and pulled him to face level. "Hey, what was that?"

"How the heck should I know? I've only been here a couple of days. Now tell me what are you doing in Max's body?" Ankh pushed Ash down, and frowned.

"What does it matter anyway? He was moments from dying." Ash's eyes widened when he heard Ankh say that. He knew Max was going to die, but having it confirmed made it all more shocking. "Besides my original form was rather...inconvenient. Though it seems something peculiar has occurred." Ankh stared into the sky again, remembering what just happened. "What happened while I was sealed away?" he asked himself more than Ash.

(5 minutes later, Kougami's office)

Back at Kougami's office, the metallic birds flew through an open window and made a neat stack of all the medals. He had let Gary, Prof. Oak and Paul reenter the room as it happened, so they would witness what he had to say. Satonaka was sitting on the couch eating the cake that Kougami made for OOO's "birthday." The trio were surprised to actually see all the birds come in and do that; what surprised them even more was the fact that when the birds were done, they all transformed into soda cans that arranged themselves nicely on a separate table.

"What the heck was that?" Gary asked his new boss.

"Those were the candroids Gary-kun!" Kougami replied in his already loud voice. "And these," the business man grabbed the top medal and presented it to the three, "are cell medals. This is a nice stack for one day I should say."

"Why are you collecting them by the way Kougami?" Prof. Oak inquired out of pure curiosity.

"They will be essential for my life's work," Kougami answered walking over to a small part of his office where the floor opened to reveal a small see through patch. Inside of it was a safe of sorts, full of cell medals. "They will also be essential for the Greeed," when he said that Paul growled in hatred, "as well as OOO." Now that got the trio's attention.

"What is this OOO? Is it another monster?" Paul asked. When he did Kougami let out a deep laugh.

"Wrong Paul-kun!" Kougami smiled as he answered and looked at them. "OOO will be an important player in this little...battle the city will face!" The three men looked at each other, wondering what the heck this man was saying.

(An hour after, with Brock and the gang)

Brock and the rest of the group he was with were back in their hotel room, trying to console May after she lost Max. May had been crying since they were able to clear away the rubble and were not able to find Max's body. She was sobbing uncontrollably into her boyfriend's embrace as she did. Brock looked over to her, she was like one of his many siblings and was worried about her. The rest of the group seemed saddened as well.

They all sat in the hotel room just wondering what to do. "I wish Gary was here. He'd know what to do," Misty sighed.

"Why don't you give him a call?" Delia asked the orange haired girl. Brock's eyes widened and a smile crossed his face.

"That's it!" Brock exclaimed.

"What is?" Drew wondered, hoping the change of topic would distract them from what happened.

"We can call Max's C-Gear. We can call him up and see where he is!"

"But wouldn't he already be here if he is alright?" Dawn questioned him.

"What if he was injured and taken to the hospital? What if he's being treated right now?"

"The nurses would have notified us though," Drew answered.

"What if they were so busy taking care of him, that they forgot to contact us?"

"It's improbable but let's give it a shot." Drew got his own C-Gear and dialed Max's number. Everyone was waiting patiently in response.

(With Ash, Pikachu and Ankh 10 minutes earlier)

Somewhere within the city, Ankh had his hand inside an icebox of an ice cream vendor while the man was turned around selling to another group of kids. When the vendor returned to looking at Ankh, he already pulled out three popsicles of different flavors and smirked. "Hey you have to pay for that!" the vendor shouted as Ankh began to walk off.

"Ah! I'll pay for it!" Ash shouted as he ran up to him. "How much will it be?"

"300 pokedollars." Ash looked through his pockets for the right amount of coins and gave it to the man. "Thank you!" Ash nodded and had went after Ankh. The two had just come from the pokemon center where Ash kept his stuff. After getting both Pikachu and Meowth healed, Ash had to chase after Ankh as he began to wander off into the streets.

"Hey Ankh! You just can't steal stuff from people like that!" Ash scolded him, but the now blond rolled his eyes and shrugged. Pikachu, who had been on Ash's shoulder the entire time rolled his eyes. Meowth had volunteered to stay back at the pokemon center, to do some research on this whole thing. "I need you to answer my question from earlier."

Ankh stopped walking and opened his mouth. "About 800 years ago, we were brought to life by the Core Medals. We were called Greeed. For the longest time we were sealed off-"

"W-w-wait a moment," Ash said clutching his head. "You're going way to fast for me. Besides I didn't get any of that." Pikachu sighed.

"Pika pi."

"I agree with you, this is troublesome," Ankh told the small rodent. That surprised both trainer and his pokemon.

"Wait you understand Pikachu?" Ash asked.

"Of course, though I rather keep that to myself. Though I tune them out most of the time. I only use this ability to get more information."

"Okay..." Ash then snapped out of his odd reverie. "That's not it! I wanted you to answer me what are you doing in Max's body?"

"Don't worry about it. From time to time I'll let him eat."

"Let him eat?"

"Boy, you are stupid," Ankh deadpanned. Ash face faulted and Pikachu face palmed. "I can taste food too." Ankh took a lick on one of the popsicles before turning back to Ash. "I know this is cold, but it tastes sweet. Besides would you rather I eat like this?" Ankh revealed his Greeed arm, and placed two of the popsicles inside of it. There was some sort of chomping noise. Both Ash and Pikachu looked terrified by the concept.

"Don't do that in public!" Ash shouted and grabbed Ankh's arm. When he pulled, Ankh came off of Max. "Huh?"

"Pika!" Ash looked at where Pikachu was, and saw it looking at Max's original body.

"Hey! He's back to normal. Thank goodness."

"He'll have less than ten minutes if I'm not attached," Ankh told him.

"AH!" Ash ran up to Max's body and tried to insert Ankh like a glove. "Pikachu help me!" The small rat grabbed the bottom of Ankh and tried to pull him on.

"Oi!"Ankh broke free and floated in the air. He went to Ash's head flicked it. He helped in pain and rubbed the now bruising part of his body. "I can do it myself you know!" Ankh then seemed to mold on to Max, once again changing his appearance to that of the blond, feathered haired boy. They then heard a ringing noise. "What the heck is that?" The trio looked around, before Pikachu found the source.

"Pikachu!" the human and the Greeed looked at the pokemon, who was pointing at Max's wrist.

"What the heck is this thing?" Ankh stared at the thing attached to his wrist. Ash ran up and took it off before Ankh can do anything to it.

"It is a C-Gear. It has many functions on it like a map, a clock and a phone."

"What the hell is a phone?" Pikachu started to talk to Ankh, while Ash was busy handling the C-Gear. Pressing the right buttons Ash accessed the phone application.

"Max?" Drew's voice and face came out of the screen. Immediately Ash aimed the thing away from himself and towards the sea side docks. "Max are you there?"

"Oi, what the hell is happening?" Ankh demanded. Ash then pointed the C-Gear away from them.

"Ankh! Don't speak so loud, someone is calling Max. If they find out something is up they'll come looking for us," Ash whispered.

"That won't be a problem. I could just take care of them." Ankh motioned a slitting of the throat motion with his Greeed arm.

"Ankh!"

"Max! Are you there?" Drew demanded again. Ash turned the C-Gear towards himself, but only at his mouth and below.

"Uh, this C-Gear belongs to a person named Max?" he asked trying to change his voice.

"Who is this? How did you get this thing?"

"Ash what the hell are you doing?" Ankh snapped.

"Ash?" Drew asked in a confused voice.

"Asshu," Ash covered up. "My name is Asshu, and I found this in the park recently. If you'd like I'll give to you in the pokemon center later this afternoon. I'm rather busy at the moment."

"Okay..." Drew stated unsurely. "Around what time will you be there?"

"I'll be there at 5 o'clock tonight." Ash then hung up and sighed. He glared at Ankh who was staring at him. "You are going to be such a pain in the ass!"

"Hey you, with the Pikachu!" a random boy called out to them. Ash looked up and saw a black haired kid with blue and white basketball shorts, and no shirt, staring at him. "I challenge you to a pokemon battle."

"Usually I'd be psyched for this but everything seems to against me today," Ash sighed. "Fine let's do this."

(With Brock and the rest)

"Well, it seems like someone has found Max's C-Gear," Drew sighed. "Yet we still have no clue on where he is."

"What was the guy's name who answered?" Brock asked.

"He said his name was Asshu, but I could have sworn someone next to him called him Ash." That had everyone surprised.

"Ash?" everyone asked.

"Yeah, though the voice sounded almost nothing like him. So don't get your hopes up." Just then there was a knock on the door. Brock walked over and opened it, to reveal Gary and Prof. Oak.

"Hey guys? What did we miss?" Gary asked as he walked over to Misty. The moment they had entered, both Oaks knew something was missing.

"It's a rather long story," Misty replied giving him a hug.

"We got one for ourselves," Prof. Oak stated. "Though it would be best if you told us what happened first."

(Back with Ash)

Ankh sat on a bench on the side of the park they were currently at. He was intrigued at what was occurring in front of him. It had been awhile since he had seen a pokemon battle, and he'd like to see how his...partner would hold up in one. "This will be a three on three pokemon battle between Ash and...nameless guy number one," Ankh proclaimed. The boy made a disgruntled noise, but Ankh ignored it. "Best two out of three wins. No substitutions during a battle. Each new battle will have new pokemon. Are you ready?" Both boys nodded. "Begin!"

"I choose you Gengar!" the boy shouted. Throwing a pokeball, the boy unleashed a human sized purple entity. It was, chubby looking and had red eyes. It's mouth was stuck in an eerie smile, and had short stubby arms and legs. Ash smiled when he saw that.

"Gengar..."

"For some reason I knew I had to take this guy out," Ash whispered to himself. Reaching behind him Ash pulled out his own pokeball. "Go Noctowl!" From out of Ash's pokeball a small owl looking pokemon appeared. Ankh was surprised however when he noted that it was a completely different color compared to other Noctowls. It was light brown in body and had red feathered wings. Its face had some sort of horn like tufts on it.

"How did this idiot get a pokemon as rare as that?" Ankh asked no one. He was shocked when Pikachu answered him.

"Pi pikachu. Pika pi," Pikachu said with its arms crossed and nodding his head.

"That makes me wonder even more just how he got so lucky to get it."

"Okay Gengar use Shadow Ball!" Gengar began to charge dark looking energy into it left hand and threw it when it was fully charged.

"Noctowl dodge and counter with Confusion!"

"Owl!" the bird pokemon flew out of the way of the move and shot a blast of psychic energy from feathers on its face. It blasted Ganger, and made it skid back.

"Don't think that can stop me! Gengar use shadow punch!" Purple sparks appeared in Gengar's right arm and it punched the air, sending out a black fist like projection from it. Ash was about to tell Noctowl to dodge, but was pleased when the attack Gengar did hit himself. "What?"

"Seems like it's confused," Ankh laughed, watching as the poor ghost pokemon hurt itself.

"Noctowl use Air Slash!" Ash commanded his pokemon. Noctowl raised its wings above its head and a light blue orb of energy appeared. It then flapped its wings, causing the attack to hurdle towards Gengar who was hit again, this time flinching in pain. "Now finish it up with Extrasensory followed up with Sky Attack!"

"Hoot!" Noctowl's eyes glowed gold and it opened its beak. A golden circular beams with white crescents hit Gengar and surrounded it. Using the attack, Noctowl lifted the Gengar and threw it into the air. Next Noctowl was covered in a white energy as it hit Gengar, sending it crashing into the floor. As it did Gengar's eyes were swirls.

"Gengar is unable to battle!" Ankh shouted. "The winner is Ash and his Noctowl." The random boy returned his pokemon into his pokeball, before throwing another one.

"Fine! I choose you Bisharp!" Another humanoid pokemon appeared. It's body was colored in white, red and black metal. It had red pant like legs, with white feet that mimicked the appearance of boots. The middle of its body was black, where it met the red shoulder plates. Around the torso were white crescent blades. The arms were black, with white gloved arms, with blade extending backwards from them. The head was like it had a helmet, with gold blade on top, and had a gold face. It had no mouth and only eyes.

"Noctowl return!" Ash pointed his pokeball at his friend and a red beam hit it. When the pokemon was back in its ball Ash thanked him. "I choose you Pignite!" A medium size orange and black pig appeared. It stood up on its two hind legs, and had a swirling black tail, that was puffy at the end. It's arms, legs, and a majority of it's upper body was orange. Around the bottom half of its body was brown fur in the shape of a leotard that wrestlers use, with gold swirls in front. Pignite's hands were covered in brown fur that looked like gloves. The very top of his head was brown, that connected to it's red nose.

"Pig!" Pignite introduced itself flexing his arms.

Back in the sidelines Ankh raised his eyebrow. "Ash seems smarter than I thought," he admitted. "He knows how to choose his pokemon well."

"Pignite let's make this flashy! Use Flame Charge!" Ash announced.

"Pig!" Pignite's body was engulfed in a red and orange flame and it charged forward.

"Bisharp use Faint Attack!" the boy shouted. Bisharp charged as well, and when the two were about to meet in the middle Bisharp disappeared. Pignite stopped moving, dispelled its flame and searched for the pokemon.

"Pignite above you!" Ash shouted, but it was too late. Pignite looked up only to be met with Bisharp's foot to its face, as it did a flying kick. Pignite fell to the ground and rolled a bit. "Pignite are you okay?" Pignite jumped up and flex its arms again.

"Pig!"

"Good. We have to get the pokemon back for that. Use Flamethrower!"

"Dodge it and use Night Slash!" Pignite sent a stream of flame out of its mouth, but Bisharp flipped backwards on its hands and ran to the side. The blade on its right arm was glowing purple as it approached.

"Pignite stop and duck the attack!" Pignite oinked in agreement, stopping the torrent of flames. It ducked, able to dodge the purple blade of Bisharp. "Now use Arm Thrust!" Pignite turned around and hit the opposing pokemon with an open palm. Bisharp strained under the first hit. Then Pignite did another four into the same spot, staggering the Bisharp. "Use Flamethrower!" While Bisharp was on its knees Pignite opened its mouth and hit it with flames. When he finished the Bisharp had fainted.

"The idiot...I mean Ash and Pignite has won the battle!" Ankh announced. "The match goes to Ash!" The boy growled and returned his pokemon. He thrust his fist towards Ash and produced a fist full of Pokedollars, 4000 to be exact.

"I was never beaten that badly before. You earned this," the boy sighed. Ash thanked him and accepted the money, knowing that they will need it for food with their new addition. Ash shook his hand and the boy left.

"I have to admit," Ankh said as he strode over, Pikachu standing next to him. "You're pretty good battler. Hopefully this will help as you fight as OOO and collect more medals."

"That reminds me, what is up with all these medals?" Ash asked, sitting down on the grass. "I mean the guy I beat was made of them right? Are you made of them too?"

Ankh looked at him before producing two medals, one red one and a grey one. "You mean that Scyther Yummy right?" Ankh rhetorically asked. "Well, let's get into an explanation of what medals are. There are two kinds of medals. Core medals," Ankh held up the red medal, "and Cell Medals," he then held up the grey one. Ash nodded as if he was a student learning something. "Just like the popsicles we were eating, the cell would be the popsicle, while the core is the stick. Cells stick to the Core, for they are our centers. Those things are what composes us Greeed who were sealed away. Yummy on the other hand are popsicles without the stick.

(Random location within the city)

Somewhere near a police station, a man with blue shoulder length blue hair and a woman with long flowing red hair were sitting on a park bench. They both wore black clothes, that were matching. Black shirts, black gloves, black pants, black shoes , etc. The distinguishing thing on their bodies were the large red R on the shirt. "We're out of money James," the woman sighed.

"I know Jessie," James replied.

"I have a plan to get some," Jessie stated.

"I know you do Jessie."

"We're going to rob an armored car full of pokedollars."

"I know...WHAT!" James exclaimed. "Jessie we haven't had a plan that has succeeded in ages! I mean ever since Meowth left, even our simple jobs to make money have failed! I knew we shouldn't have left him when we go a payload that one time Jessie!"

"Quit your yapping James," Jessie snapped. "We are doing fine without him. Now help me with these plans." James was about to argue further but noticed something.

"What's that on your forehead Jessie?"

"What are you talking about?" James' eyes widened as he stared at behind her. A multitude of grey coin like things appeared in the air, and reformed themselves with a green light, into none other than Uva.

"Uwa!" the bluenette shouted as he fell of the bench. Uva turned Jessie around, who screamed bloody murder.

"I will release that greed of yours," Uva stated before inserting a cell medal into the slot on her forehead. From out of her back, a white Yummy appeared.

(With the other Greeed)

"Uva's at it again," Kazari chuckled, as he, Mezool and Gamel were waiting for him in a forest just outside of Medal City. "He's being extravagant since precious cell medals are to us."

"Well, it is obvious that OOO is using two of his Core Medals," Mezool replied. She turned her head to the side, to glance at Gamel who was busy trying to catch a Spinarak (green spider pokemon) that was swinging from tree to tree on a string of web. It stopped for a moment, and Gamel took a swing at it. The bug pokemon leaped at the last moment, and thankful it did for Gamel smashed the bark of the tree apart. Mezool then turned back to her other fellow Greeed and sighed. "He must be compelled to act since OOO has more of his medals than ours. I mean if we had all our Core Medals, we'd be able to devour this world."

(With Ankh and Ash)

Ankh was continuing with his explanation. "To us Greeed, our Cores are the most important to us. While we were sealed away, it seems that many of them disappeared," Ankh explained. "Like the popsicle, without a stick the ice would have nothing to cling to. That explains why none of us have been completely revived."

"You have your friends' Cores don't you?" Ash asked as he stood up. He picked up Pikachu and placed him onto his shoulder.

"A few. Sad to say that only this much of me has regenerated," Ankh showed his Greeed arm. "It wouldn't be fair if they weren't handicapped like me as well. I won't let them get their way first." Ankh created a fist as he did.

(With Brock and the others)

The group had decided to head to the pokemon center early, just so they can catch up with the man and see if the person knew where Max would be. Though only a few went, since a few of them were tired. So the only ones present at the pokemon center were Misty, Gary, Brock, May, Drew and Dawn. "Where is he?" May asked impatiently.

"May it's only 3 o'clock," Drew sighed. "He said he'd be here around 5."

"I know it's just that I'm really worried for Max's safety." Drew hugged her closer to his own, and stroked her hair. Brock walked back with the other people. "Well?"

"There is no Asshu listed staying here," Brock relayed the information. That made May look down, seeming as if all hope was lost.

"We even tried if a person named Ash was here," Gary told them. "And that was a no go either."

"I wonder why the person used a fake name then?" Misty asked. "I mean there are a lot of people. Maybe this guy just doesn't want to be found." As the group kept talking, Ash's Meowth was watching them from the end of the hallway.

"Damn, I didn't think they'd think of coming here to look for Ash or the creepy arm thing here," Meowth mumbled. "He doesn't have a way to contact him too. This is bad." Meowth looked back to the group who were talking about getting some snacks to calm their nerves. That was when he saw the one with the blue hair...Dawn, Meowth thought to himself remembering her name, see him. His eyes widened before dashing down the hallway back to their room. He quietly closed the door as to not attract attention before locking it.

Dawn was minding her own business as she listened to the various ideas of where Max maybe and who this person was, when she saw a small movement in a far hallway. From the looks of things, it was a Meowth who stood on two legs. She frowned, knowing that Meowths can't do that. When their eyes met, it fled. Frowning the beanie wearing girl walked down the hallway to see where it fled to but saw nothing when she arrived.

"Dawn what's wrong?" she heard Misty ask her.

"Nothing really," Dawn answered. "I just thought I saw Team Rocket's Meowth right now."

"It must be your imagination. They haven't been heard of for a long time." Dawn nodded her head, but was still curious about what that Meowth was doing spying on them.

(Random location within the city)

An armored truck that Jessie had planned to steal from was driving down an empty street when all of a sudden, the white Yummy made up of Jessie's desires dropped onto the hood. The driver and the security that came with it screamed in fright. The Yummy didn't care however as it slammed its hand int the side, knocking the driver out cold. This caused the car to tip over and crash. The Yummy got off of the hood, and walked towards the back and threw open the door. Inside was full of bills of various pokedollars. Reaching for a bag it tore it open and began to eat the money through a mouth on its chest. As it did, it began to harvest more cell medals into it's body.

(With Ash and Ankh)

Ankh, Ash and Pikachu had moved back towards the seaside they were at before the whole battle and were resting. Ankh had is eyes closed, but opened them. "Medals! The sounds of the creation of cell medals!" he announced. He turned to Ash, who was playing with the C-Gear he had taken from the body Ankh was currently possessing. Pikachu was watching his partner intently. "Oi we're going." Ankh grabbed Ash's hand and dragged him away.

"H-hey!" Ash protested, not liking being dragged. The two ran for a bit with Ankh leading them, towards a bank whose alarm was going off.

"It's in there." The trio entered and saw that the safe was destroyed and the Yummy was inside. Ash held out his left hand. "What?"

"Give me the medals, I should transform." Ankh swatted the arm away.

"Not yet. If we defeat it now, we won't obtain a single medal."

"What?" Ash was shocked.

"It grows by feeding and if all goes well, we can harvest 100 medals." Ash looked at the...monster inside as it kept eating bars of gold.

"Pi pikachu?" Pikachu asked Ankh.

"Huh? What does it eat? Why greed of course." When both trainer and pokemon gave him a confused look he explained again. "Both cell and Core medals are the same when it comes to their source. Cell and Core medals are made from human greed."

(With Kougami)

"Greed sir?" Paul asked, extremely confused.

"Yes greed!" Kougami answered him. "It a pure and wonderful energy! This cake!" he motioned to the thing he was baking, "This table too. All these homes and buildings, this city and all the regions! Everything is a mass of greed, created from human desire!" Kougami's voice seemed to gain an octave the more he spoke. "Isn't that right, Paul-kun?" Paul was looking at him still with a confused face.

"Excuse me sir," Satonaka interrupted. "We have an invitation. A party to commemorate the completion of several high rise buildings in the western part of the city."

"Wonderful!" Kougami threw the card away. He then turned back to Paul, but walked passed him grabbing a bag of icing. "When a baby is born, a baby cries to show what it wants. To live is to want. When medals are born form the greatest of that power and collected what you will obtain is infinite!" Walking over to a coffee table he drew the infinity sign on it. "No...more than infinite! Something greater!" He then drew another circle in front of the infinity symbol. "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kougami shouted into the sky.

(With Ash and Ankh)

Ash and Pikachu watched in horror as the Yummy began to molt. It skin broke off and a grotesque bug thing came out. It was grey and had a long body with multiple legs. It stood on four large legs, even though there were multiple little one on its body. It had black circles along the side of it as a design and two large antennas on the front. What Ash found disgusting was that the smaller legs and the mouth seemed to look like hands. "Why the heck does that thing look so different from the other one I fought?" Ash asked in disgust. "Ugh...it looks like a grotesque Scolipede."

"It's an O Yummy, much bigger than a regular one," Ankh explained.

"Then give me the medals so I can beat it already."

"Not yet. It needs to gain more medals." When the Scolipede Yummy began to slink off Ankh hit Ash's arm. "Let's go after it." The three ran out and it saw that it was climbing the building. A sign on the outside showed that this building was just newly made and was having an opening party.

Ash watched in horror as the Scolipede Yummy began to eat the building. "Hey give me the medals already. If I don't transform soon-"

"Wait until it eats the building." Ash's eyes widened as he looked at Ankh.

"Are you telling me that you don't care for the people here?" Ash shouted in anger.

"Don't get the wrong idea," Ankh growled. "Your job is to gather medals."

"Pikachu use Thunder on it!" Pikachu hopped of Ash's shoulder and sent a bolt of electricity on the Yummy but nothing happened. "What?"

"Most pokemon attacks don't work on O Yummy and Greeed," Ankh informed him. "Cell medals are needed, so for now just wait."

"But-" As they were speaking, the Scolipede Yummy began tearing through the building and growing as it did. The trio ran outside, and saw that it broke an entire level of the building, causing it to collapse and slam into the tower next to it.

"You know it's not easy to save lives," Ankh commented as he watched the Yummy destroy the buildings. "Saving lives isn't free either. You have to do as I say." Just then the C-Gear Max had began to ring. Ash looked down and saw that it was May calling. As he stared at the name. His eyes seemed to zone out. A small flashback occurred. He was in the ruins of a small village off in the mountains. Flames were sprouting everywhere, and in front of him he saw a little blond girl, no older than 10 was in the midst of it all. She was bloodied and dirtied, a pokemon was lying by her side...bleeding. Suddenly a Hyper Beam occurred there and all Ash could see was a searing blue light emitting from his hands and him screaming.

"She's worried about him," Ash mumbled.

"What?"

"She's worried about him." Ash looked at his hands a small blue aura appeared around it just like in the flashback. Ash closed his hand into a fist and the aura disappeared. He glared at Ankh, before looking at Pikachu. "Buddy stay here. Things are going to get dangerous."

"Pi, Pika," Pikachu protested waving his arms. Ash shook his head and placed Pikachu on some rubble. He then made a mad dash towards the building.

"Oi!" Ankh called, but Ash ignored him. Ash ran up the stares seeing as the elevator was destroyed, taking two at a time. It took him ten minutes surprisingly to run up the entirety of twenty sets of stairs. As Ash reached the top, he saw a man was being pulled out the window by the Scolipede Yummy. He was being dragged back, but Ash managed to pull him back in right before he was out the window. Ash was shocked when the floor gave out. The trainer was left dangling above the ground. His right hand slipped, and was struggling with his left. Reaching for the ledge one more time Ash was surprised when Ankh grabbed, though only he was in his arm form. "There's a limit to how stupid one person can be! If you die, I'm in trouble too!"

"Why are you separated from Max?"

"Is it the time to be worrying about someone other than yourself right now?" He then produced the OOO Belt. "Transform already."

"Only if you make me a promise!" Ash shouted as he struggled on the ledge. "Let me transform whenever I want to! I don't want you to prioritize the medals over the lives of people or pokemon! If you don't I won't ever transform every again!"

Ankh hovered for a bit and cursed under his breath. "Huh?" The Scolipede Yummy reached the top of the building, its weight causing the part hanging Ash was hanging on to fall.

"Ah!" Ash screamed as he plummeted to his death. Ankh flew after him and was placed the OOO Belt on him.

"Hurry and transform already."

"Only if you promise!"

"Fine! Just hurry!" Ash grabbed the medals and placed them in the right slots before grabbing the scanner.

"Henshin!"

"Pidgeot! Persian! Hahakomori! Pi~Pe~Ha~ PiPeHa~ Pi~Pe~Ha~!" As he did his transformation, the claws on the arms shot out, and he drove them into the wall. This slowed his descent downwards until he hit a pile of rubble near the ground.

"Damn that was close," OOO sighed as he looked at what he did. Six long scratch marks were trailing down the side of the wall. "I hope I don't have to pay for that." The two heard a sound coming close to them. Turning around OOO and Ankh saw a man on a motorcycle walk up to them Taking off his helmet, the man was revealed to be Paul. Ash had to bite his tongue in order not to call out his respected rival. "Who are you?" Ash pretended to not know this person.

"Look, I don't care who you are and I don't care if you don't know who I am," Paul growled. "I'm only doing this because my boss told me to, and that it seems that you're the only one who can handle this sort of situation. So he wanted me to give you this, as a birthday gift." Paul walked over to OOO with a long rectangular box.

"Who the heck drove a stick up your ass?" OOO asked annoyed at how Paul seemed to be rather pissed of. "And what birthday present?"

"This." Paul took off the cover of the box, to reveal a long slender blade that looked high tech. Blue lines, similar to the ones that ran down OOO's body, ran down the blade. There was a small window on the side and slot near the grip. The edge was a light blue white silver.

"Okay...Now I have to admit, this is pretty cool," OOO admitted.

"Use the medals," Paul produced a couple of medals from his pocket, "in that vending machine." Paul pointed to a vending machine on the side of the parking lot.

"Um...I'm not thirsty."

"Just shut up and do it already. Your face is annoying me."

"You can't even see it."

"Just go already!" Paul shouted.

"Fine, fine." OOO went over and put in the medal before pressing the largest button there. When he did, the vending machine transformed into the very same motorcycle Paul was just riding. "This is a sweet ride. I haven't rode one since my time in Orre." Hoping on he drove a bit to get the hang of it, before looking at Paul. "What now? I mean I don't think I can reach the top of a building while riding a motorcycle." Paul's eyes twitched, this person really reminded him of Ash that it was annoying. Paul turned his bike back into a vending machine. Inserting another medal, he hit the button for the blue cans. Hundreds of cans fell out.

"This is how you'll do it." He popped the can open, and it transformed into a blue miniature octopus thing.

"Octillery Can!" the can announced. OOO was surprised that cans began to make a large bridge thing towards the top of the roof.

"Okay I have to admit again, that was pretty cool."

"Now to power your sword, put some cell medals in it." OOO nodded and turned to Paul.

"You may have a stick up your ass, but thanks!" He rode off on top of the tiny robots, surprised that they can handle the combined weight of both him and the bike. As he got to the top he saw the Scolipede Yummy. The bike shot off the robot made bridge and he sliced the legs of the Yummy. Several cell medals flew out, but then he was hit sending the blade out of his hands, as well as the bike, over the ledge of the building. "Ah man! I just got that!" OOO dodged the attacks several times, before he was hit and slammed into the wall.

"Oi! Ash! What the hell are you doing! Switch out!" Ankh threw him the Sutraiku medal.

"Don't have to tell me." OOO took out the Persian medal and switched it out. OOO grabbed the O Scanner, and scanned the belt again.

"Pidgeot! Sutraiku! Hahakomori!" Grabbing the grips of the blades, OOO ran forward and slashed at the feet of the Yummy, causing more and more medals to fly out, and it to groan in pain. He then focused on one leg "Fury Cutter!" OOO did several slashes on it, before it fell to the top of the roof. "Ha! Take that!"

"Oi! Don't let your guard down!" Ankh commanded him. OOO turned around to look at him.

"What?" That was his mistake. The Scolipede Yummy stood up and flicked him off the roof. "GAH!" As if sensing he was in danger, the Octillery candroids grabbed onto him. They then began to stack up on themselves, making a bungee cord of sorts. OOO closed his eyes as he approached the ground, and opened them when he stopped falling, right in front of his new sword. "Thank Arceus! I'm safe!" Grabbing the sword, and switching out the medals again, the Octillery candroids slung hung back up to the roof.

"Pi~Pe~Ha~ PiPeHa~ Pi~Pe~Ha~!" Once back in his default form, he slashed at the face of the Yummy.

"That's for throwing me over a roof!" OOO shouted. He then ran to its back and began hacking away at it. From afar Ankh hung himself in shame.

"Sometimes I wonder if it was good to pick an idiot to help me..." he mumbled to himself. The beast and OOO fell off the roof seconds later, but this time OOO used the candroids as some sort of rope to support himself down. Looking in front of him, he saw the Scolipede Yummy struggling to get up.

"Time to end this," OOO whispered to himself. "Paul said something about putting medals inside this..." Taking three cell medals he slotted them in. Each time he put one, there was a chiming sound like his belt. Grabbing the O Scanner, he scanned the weapon.

"Triple Scanning Charge!" The blue part of the blade began to glow purple and he got ready into a battling stance. The Scolipede Yummy got up and started to charge towards him.

"Here goes nothing. Um...have to think of a name...gah! I'll guess I can go with this! OOO BASH!" OOO slashed with the sword, slicing not only the Yummy but everything, even the sky, in a diagonal cut. "Oh...boy I hope I don't have to pay for that...I mean how much can reality cost?" OOO was sweating because he really didn't want to be the one who screwed up reality. He was relieved when the sky and everything other than the Yummy fixed itself before the Yummy exploded in a rain of coins. While OOO and Ankh were busy watching the raining medals or getting them, Paul rode off not wanting to deal with these...idiots.

(Minutes Later)

"Ankh, try not leave that body too much," Ash reprimanded the Greeed. "I mean we took 8 minutes to beat that thing, and we almost lost Max. If Pikachu wasn't there, some rubble may have fallen on him."

"Pikachu!" the yellow rodent nodded.

"Fine. I don't want to lose a body anyway," Ankh said. The three stopped walking when they saw Meowth ran up to them with all of Ash's stuff packed up.

"Meowth? What's wrong?" Ash asked.

"The twerp gang," Meowth started but stopped when he saw Ash glare at him, "sorry, Brock and every one of them are waiting inside for you. We need to go now!" Ash's eyes widened. He was just planning to leave the C-Gear with Nurse Joy and leave right afterwards.

"Damn. We do need to go." Ash grabbed a pokeball and threw it. In front of him was a large brown bird, with long red head feathers that lead to its tail. It was big enough to carry Ash and probably another passenger. "Pidgeot, got take this to the pokemon center, and then get out as fast as possible. We'll be headed to the park, so we can figure out where to go for the night." Ash gave the C-Gear to the large bird and it flew off. He then turned to Ankh who was looking at him funny. "What?"

"Nothing..." Ash picked up his back and Meowth, while Pikachu got ready. The four then turned around and ran in the opposite direction of the center.

(With Brock and the others)

They were waiting patiently, save for May who was fidgeting slightly, for whoever was supposed to come to arrive. They had been waiting there for a good hour and a half, with the time approaching 4:30. Brock and the group were about to give up hope when they heard tapping at a window. The group looked over and saw a Pidgeot...with Max's C-Gear in it's mouth. "Hey...why does it have Max's C-Gear?" Brock asked.

"I don't know," Gary replied. The pokemon dropped the C-Gear from its mouth and into some bushes, before flying away.

"After it!" Brock shouted. "That's our only lead to Max!" Surprisingly May was the first to react.

"Go Beautifly!" she threw a pokeball, and a butterfly with black wings, with yellow designs appeared. It had a white body, black antennas and a white black 'mouth.' It's large blue eyes looked at May who was pointing out the window. "Follow that Pidgeot!" Beautifly nodded and raced after the pokemon, and the chase was on.
