"So you're saying that you have to save the world again?"

"Yep, pretty much, but I've done it so many times that it's become routine.", Ash replied "Even though this might not be so life threatening as the time I saved the world in Alamos Town"

"Alamos Town, never heard of it"

"Oh...yeah. Long story short Dialga and Palkia were fighting against each other and a Darkrai and it pretty much was destroying the dimension."

"Sounds very tense", Misty muttered.

"Well yeah, it was, but that's off topic. We leave for Unova once May is here, who should be arriving shortly."

Right on cue, the ships horn blew, signifying the 1:30 ferry was here. Ash and Misty hurried down to the dock to greet her.

May's POV

"Beautiful", May muttered, looking around town. It was around fall, so not many tourists were here, so you could almost see a building 2 blocks from the dock.

"May,

May!"

May looked up, slightly startled at hearing her name, and saw Ash and the orange haired girl she knew to be Misty running towards her.

"Ash, Misty!"

"Hi May, It's so good to see y-"

He was rudely cut off by May rushing past him to greet Misty.

"What am I, chopped liver?" He muttered.

"No, of course not, Ash," Misty cooed, "You mean much more to me"

Ash blushed, not knowing why; he brushed it off as the heat just getting to him because it was, of course, very warm in Alto Mare.

"Hey, how 'bout we go get some ice cream", Ash said

"Sure"

"Sounds good"

So they set of towards the local ice cream shop, where Ash, Misty, and Brock had gotten ice cream on their first visit to Alto Mare. After they got there ice cream (because Misty is almost as bad a Cynthia in choosing ice cream flavors) they wandered the city, admiring its beauty.

Back in Kanto, in Team Rockets secret base, a man was questioning two grunts.

"Did you plant the phony time flower?"

"Yes sir!" replies the long, magenta haired grunt "And it was activated right on schedule"

The man smiled, stroking his faithful Persian beside his chair. Was it possible that these two boneheads had actually pulled part of a mission off without totally failing?

"Good, and have you have confirmed that the target is in place?"

"Yes"

"Activate phase two of the mission"

"Right away"

Back in Alto Mare, Ash, Misty, and May were getting ready to go to bed at the Pokémon Center.

"Pika, PikachuPi, Pika Pikachu!"

"Pikachu, what's the matter? You see something?"

"Pika PikaPi, PiPikachu!"

"What! Team Rocket, Pikachu, they are not here, now we are just going to go back to Pallet Town and see what's up"

Ash rubbed the yellow rodent's head. He was also nervous. He had seen terrible things happen to Kanto, Pallet Town in particular. Hey, didn't time flowers show you the past, not the future? He shrugged it off and went to bed.
