The Masked Hero and the "Rebel Princess" Trainer
By Raven Wormwood
Chapter 2
The journey begins
After getting a good night's sleep Ash and Lena woke up and got ready to start their new journey together, deep in Lena's mind she had a feeling that something was going to happen soon, as they packed up everything they left the hotel, "Hey Lena before we get going let's take our pokemon to my friend Professor Sycamore he'll make sure they're healthy and hopefully talk to you about what's bothering you." Ash suggested, Lena nodded and followed her new friend to a huge manor, the doors opened and a lab assistant greeted us warmly, "Ash welcome back I see you brought a new friend, welcome to Professor Sycamore's lab I'm Sophie." She told them, Lena smiled and introduced herself, soon a huge Garchomp appeared and roared, Lena got a little scared but knowing her nickname was about bravery she stood her ground, "Garchomp come on let's leave our new guest alone, I apologize for Garchomp he's just excited to see a new face, Professor Sycamore at your service." He told Lena, Lena giggled a little and petted Garchomp a little, "Please Professor the pleasure's mine I'm Lena the rebel princess trainer it's nice to meet you." She replied, as they got their pokemon checked out Lena sensed danger was around the corner, she volunteered to help Professor Sycamore with his pokemon while looking in the wonder of this facility, as they were feeding them a truck busted through the wall sending some pokemon fleeing, "Who's that?" Lena asked the professor, a talking Meowth and two members of Team Rocket emerged from the truck, "Stay back Lena they're members of Team Rocket they steal pokemon!" Professor Sycamore told her while pulling her behind him, Lena gazed in terror and balled a fist, "Stay from the pokemon!" He warned them, Jessie threw two net capsules that tied both Lena and Professor Sycamore, "Sorry Professor we're not here for your pokemon we're here for your information on mega evolution and this little twerpette is our leverage in case you refuse." Meowth said menacingly.
Lena tried to get free from her ropes but they were too tight, James and Jessie tossed them into the back of their truck and quickly sped off, two of Professor Sycamore's assistants saw the truck drive away while Ash changed into his alter ego to go after them, his fletchinder scoped the skies and saw the truck, he quickly flew back and told his trainer, Lena's Evee Brooke grew worried as her ears drooped with sadness, as they reached an old hanger the hostages were taken inside, Professor Sycamore looked at Lena and assured her everything would be alright, "Look you can have the information it's on a memory card in my pocket just let Lena go." He told Team Rocket, the masked hero reached their headquarters and saw his friends still tied up, "I have to get them out of here and make sure Lena is alright." He thought, meanwhile Jessie and James were loading the information into their computer, Lena watched in an uneasy manner, "Professor what's going to happen now?" She asked, Professor Sycamore glared at Team Rocket and looked back at her, "Don't worry Lena I'm sure someone will rescue us soon." He assured her, Lena tried to get free to take on Team Rocket but someone else beat her to it, "Not so fast Team Rocket!" Cried a voice, Team Rocket looked around and saw a figure who flew back his cape in a heroic manner and stood his ground in bravery, "Just who are you?" Jessie asked in an angry manner, laughter echoed throughout the building as the masked figure moved swiftly to free his friends, "Hey they got loose!" James yelled, Meowth didn't care he uploaded the information from Professor Scyamore and his mega meowth robot was ready, Lena got her pokeballs out and her evee evolutions came out to help, "Now it's my turn Team Rocket my pokemon may not have mega evolution powers but their bond with me is strong!" She told them, the masked hero watched in amazement as Lena went to battle his greatest enemies. As the battle went on all the masked hero could think about was Lena how her battle skills were amazing, after defeating Team Rocket Lena panted from her battle and fainted, "Lena!" Professor Sycamore cried, the masked hero caught her and told his pokemon to make sure to take her back to Professor Sycamore's lab, as Lena rested she kept seeing her premonition she had before, someone from an unknown organization was after her for her powers for unknown destruction, she woke up with a start and looked around her, "W-Where am I?" She asked, the masked hero smiled at her as he looked at Lena waking up, "You're in Professor Sycamore's lab you fainted after our battle with Team Rocket. I'm glad you're awake." He told her, Lena looked away in and hoped her premonition wouldn't come to pass, "Thanks for saving me." She said.
The masked hero nodded and quietly gave her hand a kiss, normally when something like this happens Lena would blush on the outside, on the inside she did, after getting more rest Lena was happy to feeling better as well as seeing Professor Sycamore back, as Ash came back he smiled when he saw Lena brushing her Evee Brooke, "Hey Lena I heard you got rescued by that masked hero was he nice?" He asked, Lena smiled a little and couldn't help but think about the kiss on her hand, "He was very debonair and very polite, he just made everything feel good except for this other masked man in my premonition, I can't describe it Ash it's something I need help with." She told him, Sophie heard everything and suggested seeing a psychic pokemon gym leader named Athena she could see the future and find out why Lena had this premonition for so long, "We'll head there and hopefully she'll give you some advice." Ash told her, Lena agreed and hoped their journey wouldn't have any more surprises…
