Battle at the Museum
2:30 PM
"Well now that Ash has the Pewter Gym's badge what are we going to do for the rest of the day?" Kenny asked everyone present.
"Why don't we go see the museum. I'd like to see all of the fossils and artifacts." May proposed.
"I'll have to pass. I'll change out of this outfit and go shopping for more clothes." Dawn said wanting to change back into her normal clothing.
"Zoey and I will go with you Dawn since we'd like to buy clothes as well." Leona said with Zoey nodding in agreement.
"Well I have to go to the Pokemon Center to heal my Pokemon and that means I get to see Nurse Joy!" Brock exclaimed with joy as he dashed towards the Pokemon Center trailing a cloud of dust.
"For Pete's sake. I'll have to follow him so that he won't harass Nurse Joy or any girl he comes across." Misty sighed in exasperation.
"Wait Misty. Can you drop off my Pokemon at the Center? I want to go to the museum as well." Ash said to her before she left.
"Well alright. Anything for you Ash." Misty said with a smile as he trusted her with his Pokemon's well being.
Ash handed Misty his five different Pokeball as Pikachu jumped on her shoulder.
"(See ya later.)" Pikachu said to Ash as he along with Misty left for the Pokemon Center.
"Well since we all have each others cell phone numbers we can just call each other if there's any trouble." Drew said as May and Dawn returned their Pokemon into their Pokeballs.
Ash, May, Brendan, Drew, and Kenny left for the museum while Dawn, Leona, and Zoey went to the shopping district.
"I'll be heading back to work honey. Make sure the kids don't get into trouble." Flint said as he kissed his wife goodbye.
"Don't worry about them dear. I'll have them fix up the arena to keep them busy." Lola said to her husband.
At the same time in an unknown location
"We successfully entered without setting off any alarms." a mans voice said over the earpiece communicator as the darkness of the place hid his and his compatriot's appearances.
"Roger that. We will commence operations." the man said to the person he was talking to over the communicator as they began their plan.
Pewter City Pokemon Center 2:45 PM
"Oh Nurse Joy it is good to see your lovely eyes again!" Brock dramatically said as he got on one knee and held Nurse Joy's hands in his with hearts as eyes.
"Give it a rest Romeo!" Misty said in an annoyed tone as she pulled Brock's ear causing him to yelp in pain as he was forced away from Nurse Joy who sweat dropped at the scene.
"Well then I shall tend your and the Chosen One's Pokemon right away. It wouldn't be any good for him if they're not at full heath." Nurse Joy said as she carted away Ash and Brock's Pokeball with Pikachu sitting on the cart to the treatment room.
"Thanks a lot Nurse Joy." Misty said before the nurse left.
"So Misty are you okay leaving Ash alone with May?" Brock asked returning to normal.
"What are you talking about? Breden, Drew, and Kenny are with them." Misty reminded to Brock in a tense tone.
"You know what I mean Misty. Zoey and Leona are probably saying the same thing to Dawn right about now." Brock said giving a serious expression.
"I don't know. I want Ash to choose me in the end but I want May and Dawn to have an equal chance as well." Misty answered as she kicked some dust with her shoe.
"What brought this on? I've know you to be the jealous type for as long as I could remember." Brock asked curiously.
"May and I became fast friends and she was very enamored when Ash saved her life at the forest. Dawn suffered through a horrible childhood that would have destroyed her and the things she loved. If it wasn't for Ash who knows how bad things could have gotten." Misty explained as she looked down.
"So that means you'll let those two win Ash's heart while you sit in the sidelines?" Brock asked raising an eyebrow.
"Of course not! I've known Ash the longest and know him the best! I won't let those two or any other girl take what I've already claimed as mine!" Misty exclaimed causing Brock to take a step back.
"Okay okay Misty. Calm down. You know Ash wouldn't like it if anyone treated someone else as property." Brock said to Misty as her anger.
"Sorry. I just got caught up in the moment. I love Ash as a person and friend who I want to spend the rest of my life with." Misty said in an apologetic tone.
'I just have to make sure Ash falls in love with me in the end.' Misty thought as she was envious at both May and Dawn.
At the same time in Pewter City Shopping District
"I wonder if Ash will like me in this?" Dawn asked herself as she examined a pink dress in her hands.
'I could tie my hair in a ponytail. That would look good with this.' Dawn thought with a blushing smile as she fantasized Ash's reaction.
"Hey Dawn how about this." Dawn looked behind to see Leona holding up a Piplup costume.
"There's no way I would wear that even though Piplup was my first Pokemon!" Dawn yelled in embarrassment.
"Relax Dawn, she was just kidding. Since when have you been so self conscious about how you look?" Zoey asked even though Dawn spends a lot of time grooming herself, it's no different than what any other girl would do.
"Ever since she first realized she's so madly in love with Ash." Leona stated as she clasped her hands and rubbed her cheek with them.
"Give it a rest Leona, but yes that's the reason. Especially with what I have." Dawn said as she fixed her scarf causing Zoey and Leona to have sad expressions.
"You know, Ash doesn't seem to be the type who goes for girls who just look pretty." Leona said trying to cheer Dawn up.
"I know but anyone would think that these scars are ugly." Dawn said as her eyes teared up.
"I don't think Ash will care about them at all." Zoey said as she put her arm around Dawn.
"If you feel so strongly about it then why don't you get treatment so that they'll fade away." Leona advised Dawn as medical advances have improved greatly for both humans and Pokemon.
"That will take time. I don't want to waste Ash's time when he has such important things to do." Dawn answered why she couldn't just take the treatment.
"Don't doubt yourself Dawn. If you do that then you wouldn't be of any help to Ash and Misty and May will get far ahead of you. Zoey said to her friend.
"You're right, I'm the Princess of Faith! I have to believe in my friends and loved ones! Dawn exclaimed wiping her tears as she had a determined look on her face.
'I just hope I'll be good enough for Ash.' Dawn thought as she wanted to repay him for all he did for her.
Pewter City Museum 3:00 PM
Ash, May, Brendan, Drew, and Kenny spent thirty minutes inside the museum seeing only a quarter of what's inside.
"That's an impressive skeleton." Drew stated as he was looking at the bones of an Aerodactyl hanging near the ceiling by wires.
"Wouldn't want that swooping down at me." Brendan said as he shivered at the thought.
Nearby Ash and May were observing some ancient fossils that were in a glass display.
"To think that all of these were once Pokemon." Ash said as he leaned closer.
"Yeah, it's amazing what mysteries they hold." May said as she leaned closer not at the display case but towards Ash.
"May, not in public." Ash whispered as he tried get some distance but May didn't let him by hugging his arm.
"Aw why not? Everyone knows it's what I'm suppose to do." May cooed in Ash's ear causing him to take a deep breath to control his body's reaction.
"Geez you two. Why don't you guys go someplace more private if you're going to do that." Kenny said as he shook his head as he smiled at the two.
"Great idea Kenny." May said before trying to get Ash to come along with her.
"Excuse us for a moment." Brendan said as he suddenly appeared and dragged Kenny away for a private chat as Ash and May looked at each other with confused looks.
"What do you think you're doing?" Brendan whispered to Kenny when they stopped at the secluded spot.
"I'm making sure that Ash will hook up with May so that he won't be interested in Dawn anymore." Kenny whispered back as he explained is motive.
"What? I'm trying to hook Ash up with Dawn so that he'd lose interest in May." Brendan whispered but it was still loud enough to hear a few feet away.
"Out of the question. I love Dawn and I'd lose my chance with her if that happened. Why don't you set her up with Misty." Kenny offered.
"I love May and personally I think Ash should be with Dawn." Brendan admitted.
"But I think Ash should be with May." Kenny revealed.
"This is quite a conundrum." Drew said as he suddenly appeared without them noticing as they both jumped back in shock.
"Don't do that!" Brendan exclaimed only to apologize to another person at the museum who made a shushing gesture.
"What do you mean Drew?" Kenny asked him.
"Well it seems that the three princesses aren't the only ones involved with Ash in this love dodecahedron." Drew replied with a thoughtful expression.
"A love what?" Brendan asked in confusion.
"It's basically a love triangle but with more than just three people. The Legend of the Chosen One was basically about four people. Three girls that are in love with the same man who loves all three but in this realistic version there are others added in as well." Drew explained
"I see where you're going with this. I'm in love with Dawn as Brendan is in love with May and we both are trying to prevent Ash from choosing our respective girls." Kenny summarized.
"It's not just you guys who are in love with a princess. Kenny, you and I are rooting for May while Brendan, Zoey, and Leona are supporting Dawn and It's obvious Brock is helping Misty. I also believe Leona is harboring feelings for Ash as well." Drew summed up.
"This is getting way too complicated." Brendan said as he clutched his head in frustration.
"What do we do?" Kenny asked wondering what the best solution is.
"It's ultimately Ash's decision. We're just outsiders who are tagging along. And even when Ash does choose one of them, the other two might not let him go." Drew said as it is hard to let go of someone you love especially if it's those three girls who were once the same person.
"Well that sucks." Brendan said as the three became silent pondering what they just discussed.
Meanwhile Ash and May were at at another secluded area where few people would go as May had Ash pinned to the wall with her hands as she had a passionate make out session with him and Ash let her do whatever she wanted with a euphoric look in his eyes.
'This is so good. May is more active compared to Misty and Dawn's that were more reserved but I can't just let her win me over so easily.' Ash thought as he gently pushed May off of him.
"What's wrong Ash? Wasn't that pleasant?" May asked wondering how a boy would resist the charms of a hot girl.
"It was May. It really was but I also have feelings for Misty and Dawn also and when they kissed me I also felt like it was heaven." Ash answered as he looked at her eyes trying not to get lost in them.
"Dawn kissed you too?" May asked as this was news.
"Yeah she did. It was also when she gave me this." Ash said as he pulled the Necklace of Destiny from under his shirt.
"She finally gave that to you huh?" May said as she looked away from Ash as she narrowed her eyes.
'Wait! I shouldn't feel this way. Dawn's a friend now. I shouldn't think bad thoughts of her at all.' May thought as she tried to erase those thoughts out of her head.
"What's wrong May?" Ash asked as May suddenly became quite.
"Nothing Ash. It's good that she puts her faith in someone trustworthy as you." May said trying to assure Ash that nothing is wrong.
Before Ash could talk further the lights suddenly went out.
"What's going on?" May exclaimed in confusion.
"I don't know." Ash replied as it was too dim to see anything.
"Who turned out the lights?" Brendan exclaimed as he tripped over his own two feet.
"The shutters have closed the doors as well." Drew noted as there was light coming from the bottom of them.
"It's the middle of the day. It can't be closing time yet." Kenny said as he felt something was wrong.
They could hear the other visitors express their shock and trying no to panic.
"Why did the lights turn off?"
"Was it a power failure?" were some of the things they were saying.
Suddenly the boys heard glass shattering over where the fossil were displayed.
"Let's go!" Drew exclaimed as he pulled out a flashlight before headed to the fossils with Brendan and Kenny following.
When they arrived they saw several men and women wearing the same black uniforms that had the capital letter R on their shirts. They were using night vision goggles to see in the dark and were looting the fossils and putting them in cases.
"Who are you guys and what are you doing?" Brendan exclaimed with an angry look.
"Trainers! Take them!" the leader said as three grunts faced the boys as the others escaped.
"Wait!" Kenny exclaimed trying to run after them only for one of the grunts left behind to block him.
"Not so fast boy." the grunt said in a menacing tone as he and the other two pulled out their Pokeballs.
"Looks like we have to take care of these guys before we can try to recover the fossils they took." Drew said as he, Brendan and Kenny pulled out their Pokeballs.
"Raticate! Golbat! Beedrill! Kido!" the three grunts declared as they revealed their Pokemon and merged with them.
The one with the Raticate grew fur and had large teeth, the one with the Golbat grew bat wings and flew in the air, and the one with the Beedrill grew insect wings and had two lances in his hands.
"Roserade! Kido!" Drew merged with his Pokemon and drew two roses. One red and the other blue.
"Typhlosion! Kido!" Brendan merged with his Pokemon and drew his orange longsword.
"Empoleon! Kido!" Kenny merged with his Pokemon and drew his blue longsword.
"Guys what happened?" May exclaimed as she and Ash managed to arrive with their own flashlight.
"These guys stole some of the fossils! There buddies already ran off with them!" Brendan replied as he kept his eyes on his opponents.
"You two go after them! We'll handle these guy!" Kenny said as he went into his sword stance.
"Right! Let's go May!" Ash said as he and May left to go after the other thieves.
"Not so fast!" the Raticate grunt tried to intercept them.
"Toxic Spikes!" purple caltrops scattered in the path the Raticate grunt was going and he stopped before he stepped on one.
"Your opponent is me!" Drew said as the Raticate grunt faced him.
Pewter City Pokemon Center 3:15 PM
"Here you go. All of your Pokemon have been restored to full health." Nurse Joy said as she handed them their Pokemon.
"Thanks Nurse Joy." Brock said as he took his six Pokeballs.
"Thanks for your hard work." Misty said as she took Ash's five Pokeballs and Pikachu climbed on her shoulder.
"It was no problem at all." Nurse Joy replied before Misty's cell phone went off playing May's ringtone.
"Yes May? What? That's awful! We'll be there!" Misty said as she talked to May over the phone.
"What is it?" Brock asked with worry.
"It's an emergency! Some thieves broke in the museum and stole some of the fossil! Let's get there right away!" Misty answered as she was about to run out.
"That's horrible! Oh Nurse Joy, I must now part with you and-" "Come on!" Misty pulled Brock's ear as they hurried towards the museum.
At the same time in Pewter City Shopping District
"What? Thieves? We're on our way!" Dawn said as she spoke to Ash over her cell phone.
"Why would anyone steal some fossils?" Leona wondered as they put all the clothes they bought in their storage cubes.
"I don't know but it's definitely not a good thing." Zoey stated as the girls rushed towards the museum.
Pewter City Museum 3:20 PM
"Bug Type Move: Pin Missle!" the Beedrill grunt declared as he fired two to five light green energy pins at Kenny.
"Water Type Move: Whirlpool!" Kenny declared as he used his sword to create a whirlpool and blocked all of the pins.
"Not bad for a kid. How about this? Bug Type Move: Twineedle!" the Beedrill grunt exclaimed as his two lance arms glowed light green as he charged towards Kenny.
"Normal Type Move: Fury Attack!" Kenny exclaimed as his sword clashed with his opponent's lances trying to hit each other.
"Give up! There's no way you can beat me!" the Beedrill grunt boasted as he kept trying to stab Kenny.
"Full of yourself aren't you? Reminds me of a purple haired guy I really hate. Water Type Move: BubbleBeam!" Kenny spat from his mouth a barrage of bubbles that hit the Beedrill grunt causing him to get knocked back.
"You'll pay for that! Poison Type Move: Poison Jab!" the Beedrill grunt exclaimed as his lances glowed purple and charged towards Kenny once again.
"No, you'll pay for stealing valuable relics. Flying Type Move: Drill Peck!" Kenny exclaimed as he lifted his sword above him and began spinning like a drill and jumped towards his opponent.
The Beedrill grunt's eyes widened at the incoming drill as he was hit and sent flying before he hit the ground knocked out along with his Bug Pokemon.
"Not bad for a kid huh?" Kenny said with a smile as he looked at his unconscious opponent.
"Flying Type Move: Air Cutter!" the Golbat grunt declared as he flapped his wings and blades of air shot towards Brendan.
"Normal Type Move: Defense Curl!" Brendan announced as he used his sword to block the incoming air blades.
"It'll take more than that to hurt me!" Brendan boasted as he was not harmed.
"Then I'll just have to try this. Flying Type Move: Acrobatics!" the Golbat grunt declared as he dived down towards Brendan and did a martial arts round house that took him by surprise.
"That smarts." Brendan said rubbing his head as the Golbat grunt came at him again with aerial strikes.
"Fire Type Move: Flame Wheel!" Brendan spun vertically as fire erupted around him and charged at his opponent who got hit and had burns all over his body.
"That was a big mistake kid. Flying Type Move: Air Slash!" the Golbat grunt exclaimed angrily as he flapped his wings and a huge blade of air shot towards Brendan.
"Fire Type Move: Eruption!" Brendan exclaimed as a huge pillar of fire erupted from his sword and shot towards the Air Slash.
When the two attacks collided there was a huge explosion. Brendan was safe as he was on the ground but the Golbat grunt who was in the air was not as the shock wave threw him towards the wall hard before he fell on the floor hard unconscious with his Pokemon out cold.
"Stay out of the kitchen or you might get burned!" Brendan said victoriously with a smile.
"Dark Type Move: Bite!" the Raticate grunt declared as he opened his mouth to try and take a bite out of Drew.
"I don't want a hickey from you. I don't swing that way." Drew said as he kept dodging his opponent's bites.
"I'm not like that at all!" the Raticate grunt yelled in frustration as it gave the distraction Drew needed.
"Grass Type Move: Magical Leaf!" Drew declared as he launched several multicolored leaves at the Raitcate grunt giving him several cuts.
"That hurt you little punk! Normal Type Move: Focus Energy!" the Raticate grunt exclaimed as he glowed with energy.
"I won't let you get the chance. Grass Type Move:-"
"Dark Type Move: Sucker Punch!" the Raticate grunt suddenly punched Drew in the face with his violet glowing fist.
Drew rubbed his jaw before he saw him coming towards him again.
"Dark Type Move: Crunch!" he exclaimed as his fangs glowed violet.
"Grass Type Move: Leech Seed!" Drew declared as he shot a seed from his rose as it latched on to the grunt and wrapped vines around him draining his health.
"Get this thing off of me!" the Raticate grunt demanded trying to break free.
"I don't think so. Grass Type Move: Stun Spore!" Drew declared as spores came out of his roses and landed on his opponent.
The Rocket Grunt froze in shock as he could barely move at all.
"You bastard!" he yelled at Drew who smirked.
"I guess you got more than you could chew." Drew said looking down on him.
"I'll show you! Normal Type Move: Hyper Fang!" he yelled as he suddenly sprang up with his fangs glowing white.
Being so slow due to being paralyzed Drew managed to avoid to bite easily and then.
"Grass Type Move: Petal Dance!" Drew declared as he shot the razor sharp petals of his roses at the grunt as he was cut several times before finally passing out with his Pokemon following soon after.
"Good job Drew." Kenny said as he walked up to him.
"What about me? I did pretty amazing as well." Brendan boasted as he joined them.
"Now's not the time. We have to catch up to the others." Drew reminded as the lights went back on.
"Thanks for taking care of these thieves. You guys should go on ahead then." Officer Jenny said as she arrived with her police force.
The boys nodded and left in the direction Ash and May were going.
Outside the back entrance of the museum 3:30 PM
"Stop right there!" Ash shouted as he and May caught up to the rest of the thieves.
"The Chosen One. I never thought we would cross paths with you." the leader said as his team face the two teens.
"Return the fossils you stole and give up!" May demanded as she had an angry look on her face since they ruined her alone time with Ash.
"I'm afraid we cannot. Team Rocket has plans for these fossils." the leader said as he and his team took out their Pokeballs.
"Team Rocket?" May asked as she does not know about them.
"They're a Pokemon crime syndicate that operates in the Kanto and Johto region." Ash answered as the two got ready for battle themselves.
"Well they're not getting away from stealing valuable fossils!" May said with a determined look.
"Yeah right girly. We have you guys outnumbered two to seven." a female grunt said with confidence.
"You better count again!" everyone turned to see that it was Dawn who said that with Zoey and Leona right beside her.
"And it's not like you guys were the best when you were rookies!" Misty said as she and Brock with Pikachu was on the opposite side of Dawn.
"Each of you take these on these trainers. I'll deal with the Chosen One." the leader said as everyone prepared their Pokemon except Ash.
Leona vs A Slender Female Grunt
"Mamoswine! Kido!" Leona declared as she merged with her Twin Tusk Pokemon and her gauntlets with Mamoswine's tusks appeared on her arms.
"Persian! Kido! the grunt declared as she merged with her Classy Cat Pokemon as her nails grew and a red round jewel on her forehead.
"Try not to hurt yourself with those little girl." the Persian grunt mocked as she played with her long nails.
"I'm not a little girl." Leona said getting into her battle stance.
"Sorry, with the lack of breasts I mistook you for one." the Persian grunt smirked.
"WHAT WAS THAT? GROUND TYPE MOVE: MUD BOMB!" Leona screamed as she fired a big blob of mud at her opponent.
"Normal Type Move: Fury Swipes!" the Persian grunt declared as with a fury of her nails cut the Mud Bomb into pieces but still got onto her clothes.
"Look what you did! I need a bath after this!" she complained in outrage.
"You'd need more than that! Ice Type Move: Ice Fang!" Leona said as her tusks glowed light blue as she charged at her opponent.
"Normal Type Move: Slash!" the Persian grunt declared as she darted for Leona as well.
Tooth and nail clashed as both battlers attacked and blocked one another in an attempt to bring harm but neither were successful. When they both realized this they separated a few feet away from each other.
"Nice try but your too young to have a chance against me." the Persian grunt said as she smirked.
"I think you better need to take a closer look." Leona said with a smirk.
Suddenly the Persian grunt's nails shattered into pieces causing her eyes to widen.
"Nani?" she exclaimed in shock.
"Things that get frozen tend to be more fragile then they originally are." Leona explained what happened.
"So you goal was to disarm me!" she stated with anger.
"You guesses it. Ice Type Move: Blizzard!" Leona exclaimed as she launched a heavy snow blizzard at her.
She got hit full blast and when the snow cleared the grunt was frozen in ice along with her Persian.
"It was not ice to meet you." Leona said to her as she stuck out her tongue.
'That will teach her not to make fun of me.' Leona thought with a satisfied grin.
Zoey vs Elegant Looking Female Grunt
"Sableye! Kido!" Zoey declared as she merged with her Darkness Pokemon and her dagger appeared in her right hand.
"Weepinbell! Kido!" the grunt declared as she merged with Flycatcher Pokemon and a vine whip appeared in her right hand.
"Try not to bore me too much." the Weepinbell grunt said as he mock yawned.
"Don't worry. I'll give you a good fan service." Zoey grinned as they prepared to battle.
"Grass Type Move: Vine Whip!" the Weepinbell grunt said as she snapped her whip towards Zoey.
"Dark Type Move: Faint Attack!" Zoey said as she disappeared when the whip hit her.
'Those that use Faint Attack will most likely attack' "From Behind! Normal Type Move: Wrap!" the Weepinbell grunt thought as she turned around and snapped her whip where Zoey appeared and wrapped around her right arm.
"That was very predictable." the Weepinbell grunt said with a smirk.
"Then how about this. Ghost Type Move: Astonish!" Zoey said as she made a ghostly yell that not only made her opponent flinch and take damage but also release her right arm.
"What was that?" the Weepinbell grunt exclaimed as she covered her ears to stop the ringing.
"You should know that I'm a singer as well." Zoey said as she rubbed her right arm.
"You can't catch a tune even if your life depended on it! Grass Type Move: Razor Leaf!" the Weepinbell grunt exclaimed as she hurled a number of razor sharp leaves with her whip towards Zoey.
"I only perform well to those who deserve it." Zoey said before she phased inside the ground avoiding the leaves.
'Where did she go?' the Weepinbell grunt thought as she looked around her frantically.
"Dark Type Move: Knock Off!" Zoey emerged just right below her opponent and slashed the base of the whip causing the rest of it to fall much to the wielder's surprise.
"And now! Ghost Type Move: Confuse Ray!" Zoey declared as her dagger glowed ghostly and reflected light that blinded her opponent.
"Gah! I can't see!" the Weepinbell grunt yelled as she covered her eyes.
"That's the point. Ghost Type Move: Shadow Ball!" Zoey exclaimed as she fired an orb of ghostly energy at the Weepinbell grunt exploding on impact that caused her and her Pokemon to faint.
"Let me know when you want another perfomance." Zoey said with a smile.
Brock vs Big Muscular Male Grunt
"Golem! Kido!" Brock declared as he merged with his Megaton Pokemon.
"Machoke! Kido!" the grunt declared as he merged with his Superpower Pokemon.
They then grappled each other with their hands as they tried to push each other down.
"I Will Break You!" the Machoke grunt yelled at Brock.
"That screams intelligent." Brock sarcastically said.
"Fighting Type Move: Low Kick!" the Machoke grunt exclaimed as he tried to kick Brock's legs only for Brock to disengage him and jump backwards.
"Rock Type Move: Rock Throw!" Brock declared as rocks around him formed a big rock in his hands before he threw it at his opponent.
"Fighting Type Move: Karate Chop!" the Machoke grunt exclaimed as he chopped the rock into pieces.
"I will smash you good like that rock!" he yelled cracking his knuckles.
"I'm sure the others guys look for you for advice." Brock mockingly said.
"Gee thanks." the Machoke grunt said as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment causing Brock to feel sorry for the guy.
"Okay, Normal Type Move: Defense Curl! Rock Type Move: Rollout!" Brock declared as rocks encased him in a ball not unlike Golem's before he spun vertically towards his opponent at high speed.
The Machoke grunt put his hands in front of him as Brock came into contact. With all of his strength the Machoke grunt managed to stop Brock in his tracks and lifted him with his arms.
"Fighting Type Move: Vital Throw!" the Machoke grunt yelled as he threw Brock into the air before he crashed onto the ground, the ball of rocks crumbled.
"Well that didn't work." Brock said as he rubbed his head and stood up.
"Fighting Type Move: Submission!" the Machoke grunt suddenly hugged Brock from behind squeezing him hard.
Brock struggled as he could barely breath trying to get loose.
"I am strong! More strong than you are!" the Machoke grunt yelled as he continued to squeeze him.
"That's it! I've had enough of your illiterate vocabulary!" Brock yelled as he began to glow white.
"Huh?" the Machoke grunt said in surprise.
"Normal Type Move: Explosion!" Brock exclaimed before he blew up causing a massive explosion.
When the dust settled both Brock and the grunt along with their Pokemon were knocked out.
"Nurse Joy, here I come." Brock said before he finally passed out.
Dawn vs Sickly Looking Male Grunt
"Buneary! Let's go!" Dawn exclaimed as she revealed Buneary.
-Cue Dawn's Theme Song-
"The holy light of protection, shine now and become the hope for the future! KIDO!" Dawn declared as she merged with her Rabbit Pokemon.
"Grimer! Kido!" the grunt declared as he merged with his Sludge Pokemon and began to get all slimy.
"Come here little girl." the Grimer grunt said in a disturbing way.
"Yuck! No thanks!" Dawn shouted in disgust as she punched her left palm.
"Oh well then. Poison Type Move: Sludge!" the Grimer grunt declared as he spat poisonous sludge at Dawn.
Dawn managed to dodge it by jumping in the air and headed towards her opponent.
"Fighting Type Move: Jump Kick!" Dawn exclaimed as he kicked him sending him flying.
"That was very impressive." the Grimer grunt said as he got up and rubbed his chest.
"I'm doing this to kick your ass not impress you!" Dawn said as she crossed her arms.
"Doesn't really matter. Dark Type Move: Fling!" the Grimer grunt declared as he threw a Macho Brace at Dawn restricting her movements.
"Now I have you my pretty." he said as he walked towards her.
"Really? You said one of the most corniest things a villainous creep says in fairy tales!" Dawn said trying to get the Macho Brace off of her.
"You can't do anything now." the Grimer grunt said with a grin as he was about to lift up her skirt.
"Oh Yes I Can! Normal Type Move: Pound!" Dawn yelled as the Macho Brace shattered into pieces and punched him so hard that he was sent flying fast and crashed through the wall clearly knocked out.
'Pervert! Only Ash can look under there!' Dawn thought but blushed as she just realized what she had been thinking.
May vs Female Grunt with long red hair
"Hey! I know you. You're Jessie." May said as she faced her opponent.
"I'm surprised little miss Princess remembers me." Jessie said as she glared at May with anger.
"Why are you part of Team Rocket?" May asked curiously.
"After you beat me I was in ranked so low that the military salary I receive can't even pay for even my cheapest debts and I was denied the fame and fortune of being one of the finalists." Jessie explained in a very angry tone.
"That's your reason for turning to a life of crime? How selfish can you be?" May asked in such a disappointing tone.
"Shut up! Someone special like you can never understand those less fortunate! Arbok! Kido!" Jessie yelled as she merged with Cobra Pokemon and her legs turned into her Pokemon's tail.
"Tochic! Show time!" May exclaimed as she revealed Torchic.
-Cue May's Theme Song-
"Oh, heavenly fire, turn those who oppose me into ashes, impale all those that threaten those who matter to me and fire brightly against those with dark hearts forever! KIDO!" May declared as she merged with her Chick Pokemon and her bow appeared in her hands.
"That's not an excuse for what you are doing!" May said as she readied an arrow.
"That's your naive opinion! Poison Type Move: Poison Sting!" Jessie exclaimed as she fired a barrage of poison needles from her mouth at May.
"Fire Type Move: Fire Spin Arrow!" May declared as she fired her arrow which turned into a spinning spiral of fire that burned the poison needles.
"Give up yet?" May asked as she prepared another arrow.
"Hardly, after all I know a weakness of your fighting style." Jessie said as she smirked.
"Oh yeah? What is it?" May asked as she narrowed her eyes.
"This! Normal Type Move: Glare!" Jessie's eyes suddenly gave off a bright flash that blinded May as she looked.
"AAAHHH!" May screamed as she dropped on her as she covered her eyes with her hands.
"Ranged fighters needs good eyesight to be effective. Take that away and they're nothing more than prey." Jessie said as she laughed cruelly.
May slowly stood up holding her bow shakily as the glare also paralyzed her with her eyes closed as to not let light hurt her eyes.
"I can still fight!" May exclaimed as she readied an arrow.
"And how are you going to do that?" Jessie asked slyly before she ducked from a flaming arrow.
"By following your voice." May answered with an arrow ready.
"With your decreased accuracy and my high evasion, there's no way you can hit me." Jessie stated as she slithered towards May.
"Dark Type Move: Crunch." Jessie whispered as her fangs glowed violet as she was going to bite May.
'She masks her battle energy so I wouldn't sense her but my instincts are another story.' May thought as her arrow ignited.
"Fire Type Move: Heat Wave!" May fired her arrow upwards before it exploded and the heat radiated from poured all over as Jessie was retreating since the heat was burning her like an oven. Since the attack came from May it didn't affect her at all.
"I'll just have to use area of effect attacks so that you can't get near me." May stated as her eyes tried to adjust themselves.
"That's what you think! Poison Type Move: Acid!" Jessie declared as she spat a corrosive acid from her mouth at May.
After hearing this May ducked to the side before it hit as the acid melted the surface of the ground she was on.
"Now to finish her off. Poison Type Move: Gunk Shot." Jessie whispered as she went behind May before covering herself with poisonous sludge and slithered towards her.
'I finally get to have my revenge!' Jessie thought as she closed in on May but then her eyes widened as May pointed her flaming arrow at her.
"Fire Type Move: Fire Blast Arrow!" May exclaimed as she fired her arrow and hit Jessie.
When the arrow hit Jessie it exploded in a blaze of fire that took the shape of the kanji for fire.
May slowly opened her eyes as the effects of Glare was wearing off to see Jessie lying on her stomach badly burned with her Arbok fairing no better.
"Damn you! Jessie seethed as she looked up to see May.
"You have no one else to blame but yourself." May said before Jessie passed out.
"My eyes still hurt. Maybe looking at Ash will make them feel better." May smiled with a blush imagining Ash coming out of the shower with only a towel wrapped around his waist.
Misty vs Male Grunt with blue hair
"You seem familiar." Misty mentioned trying to remember where see saw him before.
"I'm James! I was the guy the Chosen One fought in the Preliminaries and was defeated in one hit!" James said in frustration.
"Oh yeah. May told me how Ash's battle went." Misty said as she heard May tell her how awesome he was.
"After we lost Jessie and I hit rock bottom. Our rank didn't give us enough money to support ourselves so we joined Team Rocket to make a living." James explained in a sad tone.
"You should have found another way." Misty chided James for becoming a criminal.
"There wasn't so this was the only alternative. Weezing! Kido!" James declared as he merged with his Poison Gas Pokemon.
"Wartortle I choose you!" Misty exclaimed as she revealed her Turtle Pokemon.
-Cue Misty's Theme Song-
"Surge through the seas and destroy everything with your powerful tsunami! KIDO!" Misty declared as she merged with Wartortle and her scimitar appeared in her hand.
"Poison Type Move: Smog!" James declared as he spewed poisonous gas towards Misty.
"First Dance! Water Type Move: Water Gun!" Misty exclaimed as she fired a blast that dispersed the gas and headed towards James.
James avoided the attack by levitating in the air.
"Normal Type Move: Double Hit!" James exclaimed as he rushed downwards towards Misty about to hit her twice.
"Normal Type Move: Rapid Spin!" Misty declared as began spinning clockwise with sword extended becoming a spinning blade of pain.
James' attack was disrupted as he was continuously slashed by Misty's blade before he forced himself back.
"Had enough?" Misty asked as she stopped spinning.
"Sorry but this is nothing compared to what happens if a Rocket Grunt fails in their mission." James said as he slowly levitated up covered with injuries.
"That's terrible!" Misty said in shock as criminal organizations are bad as the Republic says they are.
"Now then! Poison Type Move: Sludge!" James spat sludge towards Misty.
"Water Type Move: Water Pulse!" Misty declared as she swung her sword and thew the orb of water.
The two attacks dissolved when they came into contact with each other but it was only a distraction.
"Poison Type Move: Sludge Bomb!" James announced as he spat a big ball of sludge at Misty.
"Not fast enough! Second Dance! Water Type Move: Aqua Tail!" Misty exclaimed as her sword glowed dark blue and looked more like a tail before she cut the ball of sludge in half.
"Not good." James said as he gritted his teeth when he saw Misty jump towards him with her aqua blade ready.
"Time to finish this!" Misty exclaimed before she made a downward slash that hit James causing him to fall towards the ground as his Weezing separated from him no longer conscious.
"Sorry for that but you made yourself an enemy of Ash and I can't allow anything to bring him to harm." Misty stated as wanted Ash to praise her for her victory later.
Ash vs Rocket Leader
"Fearow! Kido!" the leader declared as he merged with his Beak Pokemon.
"RELEASE!" he exclaimed as a bright light enveloped him.
When it died down the leader was wearing armor that resembles Fearow with its wings on his back, sharp talons on his hands and feet, and even a helmet that's in the shape of its head.
"Now show me what the Rookie of the Year can do." the Fearow leader said as he flew in the air.
"Alright Pikachu return!" Ash announced as he returned Pikachu into his Pokeball and turned into Aura Metal Model X.
-Cue Ash's Inner Light Theme Song-
"Cluster hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Shine brightly! Aura Armor Model X!" Ash chants as Aura Metal Model X bursts into stardust enveloping Ash and forms the Aura Armor of Light.
"I won't let you take those fossils!" Ash declared as he pointed his X-Cannon at the Fearow leader.
"Electric Type Move: Charge Beam!" Ash declared as he shot a ball of electricity towards his opponent in the air.
"Psychic Type Move: Agility!" the Fearow leader declared as he dodged the attack by flying at high speed.
"In that case! Electric Type Move: Shock Wave!" Ash announced as he waved his hands and sent electricity in all directions hitting the Fearow leader forcing him to the ground.
"Grr! If that's how you want to play then Dark Type Move: Assurance!" the Fearow leader said as his clawed hand glowed violet as the energy grew twice since Assurance doubles in power when the user receives damage in the same turn and dashed towards Ash.
"Electric Type Move: Thunder Punch!" Ash declared as he dashed towards the Fearow leader with his fist charged with electricity.
The ground rumbled beneath them as they came into contact. Sparks and dark energy flew as they tried to overpower the other. They both grunted as their attacks caused an explosion forcing both of them backwards.
"You are as powerful as they saw you'd be." the Fearow leader said as he flapped his wings to gain flight.
"You don't know the half of it." Ash said as he stood straight.
"Flying Type Move: Aerial Ace!" the Fearow leader declared as he swooped down before he disappeared and reappeared right above the ground headed for Ash.
"Big mistake Electric Type Move: Spark!" Ash declared as electricity coursed through his body and tackled his opponent when he reach him causing the Fearow leader to get shocked.
"Ah! Dammit!" the Fearow leader exclaimed as he writhed in pain as electricity paralyzed him.
"There goes your speed." Ash said as he watched him get up.
"Flying Type Move: Roost!" the Fearow leader said as he got on one knee and recovered some health before flying back up.
"It seems it was a mistake using a Flying Pokemon against you." the Fearow leader said as he narrowed his eyes down at Ash.
"It was a mistake not surrendering in the first place. Electric Type Move: Charge!" Ash declared as he charged his X-Cannon with electricity and raises his Special Defense when it's charged.
"Here's my final assault! Flying Type Move: Drill Peck!" the Fearow leader exclaimed as he spun really fast and dashed towards Ash like a drill.
"Electric Type Move:Charged Charge Beam!" Ash exclaimed as he fired a huge ball of electricity at the incoming enemy.
The attack hit him causing him to stop spinning as Ash stepped to the side before the Fearow leader crashed into the ground with a loud thud as his armor turned back into Fearow as they both lay on the gorund no longer able to battle.
"Mission accomplished." Ash said with a smile as he secured the fossils.
Same Place 3:45 PM
"Aw! We missed the rest of the party!" Brendan moaned as he, Drew, and Kenny arrived.
"Well at least you guys managed to get the fossils back." Kenny said before Officer Jenny arrived with her officers to arrest the rest of the Team Rocket group.
"They were no match for us." Drew said before Rainbow Wing returned their Pokemon.
"Thank you for all your help. We were lucky the Chosen One and his group were here when the theft took place." Officer Jenny said as she patted Ash on the back.
"We were just doing duty Officer." Ash said as he was surrounded by Misty, May, and Dawn.
"By the way, what about them?" Officer Jenny asked pointing at the unconscious Brock and Golem.
"Don't worry, I'll take care him." May said as she walked up to Brock and Golem and began healing them.
"Well we should go back to the Pewter Gym and tell Flint what happened." Zoey said as everyone agreed.
"But I wanted Nurse Joy to treat me!" Brock wailed as he regained consciousness.
"Stop complaining Brock! You know May can heal injuries much faster than going to the Pokemon Center!" Misty said as she dragged Brock by the ear as they headed back to his home.
Pewter Gym 4:00 PM
"I see, Team Rocket tried to steal some fossils at the museum when all of the security was busy securing the borders." Flint stated as he returned when Brock called him.
"But I wonder why they would want them?" Leona wondered
"They probably want to revive them and use them to bolster their ranks." Zoey theorized
"What should we do about them?" May asked
"Nothing. We have better things to do. Let the police handle them." Drew replied as the Demons are more of a threat.
"But we will stop them from doing any crimes if we end up encountering them again." Ash added as it is their job to stop anything that endangers others.
"Anyways, where's the next Gym that's closest from here?" Dawn asked
"Cerulean City is just east of here past Mt. Moon." Brock answered
"Cerulean City! Oh no! let's go somewhere else. I mean there are other Gyms after all." Misty said frantically
"Misty, is there a reason why you don't want us to go to your home city?" Ash asked curious as to why Misty doesn't want to go home.
"Oh nothing really. It's just with everyone so busy with defending the city my sisters might be busy." Misty said as she tried to come up with an excuse.
"Well it's Ash's decision to where he wants to go next." Kenny stated
"Yeah and we're going to Cerulean City since it's the closest." Ash finalized causing Misty to drop her head.
"Well it's been a long day for you guys. Why don't you rest up before dinner. I've also arranged spare rooms for you all to sleep in. There's no way I'll let the Chosen One's group sleep in some hotel or the Pokemon Center." Lola said to everyone.
"Good idea. Call me when dinner is ready." Brendan said as he walked to the boys guest bedroom followed by Drew and Kenny.
"Come on Ash. Let's show you what clothes Dawn picked for you." Leona said as she and Zoey grabbed Ash by the arm and led him towards the girls guest bedroom.
"Wait! I never approved of that!" Dawn exclaimed chasing after them.
Flint went with his wife to join her cook dinner with Brock going to see his siblings. That left Misty and May alone.
"Tell me truthfully Misty. Why don't you want us to go to your home city?" May asked her in concern.
"Sigh, I just don't want Ash to meet my sisters." Misty admitted
"Why not?" May asked curiously
"They've always been teasing me that I went to the academy in Pallet Town because I wanted to be with Ash, but ever since they saw him on TV when he won the tournament they've been bugging me to get him to come to the Gym so they can meet him personally." Misty explained
"Is that a bad thing?" May asked
"It's obvious with the way they asked me that they want to swoon over Ash. They wanted to meet the Chosen One in person and swoon over him since just like almost every other Poketopian girl I think will do." Misty said with an angry expression.
"And since yesterday during the press conference that you were identified as one of the Princesses of Light they will obviously be really ticked off about it." May stated before Misty nodded.
"Yeah. They always want to show how much better they are compared to me. I'm actually very happy that I'm far more important than either of those three combined." Misty said with a smirk.
"Well we have to go the Cerulean Gym sooner or later. Best to go there soon and get it over with." May said as she placed a hand on Misty's shoulder.
"Sigh, I know." Misty said as she and May went to the girls guest bedroom making sure Dawn didn't try to change her clothes in front of Ash.
Undisclosed Location 5:00 PM
"So they were defeated and arrested by the authorities." Giovanni said as he petted his Persian.
"Yes sir, it seems the Chosen One and the group he's traveling with were at the museum during the heist." an Executive replied as he read the reports.
"It was unfortunate for them but it doesn't matter. There are more important plans to achieve anyways. Make sure they don't catch wind of any of our operations that are located in other cities in Kanto." Giovanni ordered
"Yes sir." the Executive obeyed as he left.
"It seems fulfilling our plans when the Demons attack to keep the Pokemon Military busy will not be as easy as I thought it would be." Giovanna stated to himself as he pondered what to do next.
7:00 AM
It had a enjoyable night at the Stone Household. After resting up since the incident at the museum Rainbow Wing experienced an exquisite dinner prepared by Brock and Lola as they ate at the very large dinner table. Afterwards it was bed time and convincing May to not let Ash sleep in the girls bedroom. Then morning came and the Stone Family went to see their brother and the others off.
"Good luck out there everyone." Flint said to his eldest son and the others.
"Don't get into too much danger." Lola added as she had some tears in her eyes.
"Goodbye!" Brock's brothers and sisters yelled as they waved them a farewell.
"I will! See you all later!" Brock said as he kissed his mother on the cheek, shook his fathers hand and gave each of his siblings a hug.
"Farewell!" May exclaimed waving her hand.
"Good to have met you guys!" Kenny said in a loud voice.
"Thanks for the grub!" Brendan said patting his stomach.
"We'll be saving the world for you all as well!" Zoey said as put on her sunglasses.
"You will be seeing us whenever we make the new!" Leona chipped in.
"I'm sure you will all make great trainers one day!" Drew added with a smile.
"It was good to see you all again!" Misty exclaimed with a smile.
"We'll do all of you proud!" Dawn exclaimed in a very good mood.
"Thanks for the Boulder Badge!" Ash thanked as he placed it in his badge case.
And so Rainbow Wing left Pewter City and headed towards Cerulean City by traveling east passed Mt. Moon where they didn't see many Pokemon. They did see some Clefairy, Clefable, Jigglypuff, and Wigglytuff in the cave and it looked like they were hiding.
"So it really is true. The Demons are coming." Kenny said with dread in his voice.
"Yeah and they won't be subtle about it this time." Ash said with a serious tone.
"I've never fought a Demon or Shadow Pokemon before." Leona stated feeling nervous.
"What do have to be worried about? We have the Chosen One and the three Princesses of Light with us." Brendan said trying to cheer everyone up.
"True, but this is war. We have to expect casualties in this. We were lucky none of us died during the Exams and I didn't help at all." Dawn reminded as the world or the Solar System wasn't a friendly place to be in.
"Don't say that Dawn. If we work hard enough then all of us will live through this and bring peace to the world." May said to her.
"Even if that were to happen there's still the Confederacy to deal with." Zoey reminded that the Republic has another major enemy.
"We won't have to worry about them until the far future and for now let's go to Cerulean City!" Misty exclaimed pointing the way as everyone cheered.
A/N: And that's the end of that chapter(brushing dirt off the palms). Uh Chief, what about the mountain lion? Like I said, (brushing dirt off the palms).
