Chapter 3

Ellie glared at team rocket, the smoke cleared revealing the broken glass.

"What are you talking about?" Ash asked in confusion.

"He just doesn't get it does he?" Jessie replied smirking evilly.

"How can i? You don't make any sense." Ash said

"We're here for the Pokémon." James simply said

"You're not getting pikachu!" Ash exclaimed glaring at the trio.

"You're not taking any pokemon!" Ellie exclaimed.

"We're not interested in your precious electric rat." Jessie said

"We seek only rare and valuable pokémon." James said

"You're wasting your time. This is a center for weak and injured pokémon." Nurse Joy replied.

"That maybe so but i wouldn't be at all surprised if we find a few little pokémon gems among the junk." Jessie said

Ellie felt a dry lump in her throat. 'I won't let them take my Eevee! Or any pokémon here!' She thought.

"You're starting to bug me." Ash said glaring at them.

"Me too. " Ellie muttered.

Team Rocket just chuckled at the glares Ash and Ellie were giving them.

"Isn't that cute?" Jessie mocked

"The boy's bugged." James smirked

"Meowth! Then lets squash em!" Meowth said

"Koffing! Attack!"

"Ekans go!"

The two Pokémon went to attack them, Ash and Nurse Joy pushed the stretcher that pikachu is in. Ekans slithered to the computer systems using its mouth to pull the wires destroying it. Koffin tackled damaging more equipment.

The small group ran further in the center through one of the rooms that contained pokéballs of other trainers recuperating pokémon.

Ellie and Misty manage to barricade the door, Suddenly the power gave out.

"Oh no…" Ellie worriedly said

"Don't worry." Nurse Joy said with a sly smile. "We have our own pika-power!"

Ellie tilted her head wondering what the nurse meant until she saw it, she saw in through the clear glass door nine pikachu running around a treadmill electricity sap on their cheeks being absorbed in a lightning rod giving power to the pokémon center.

"Wow! Look at all the pikachu!" Misty replied in awe.

"They're so cute!" Ellie smiled

Nurse Joy activated the emergency sequence and began transferring the pokéballs safely to the nearest center in pewter city.

Smoke sepped through the doors and Koffing easily broke through the barricade. The rough shake knocked over the few pokéballs left.

"Get those pokéballs!" Nurse Joy ordered

"Ah...right!" Ash said as he hurriedly got a few of them.

"Ash! Hurry up!" Ellie exclaimed grabbing a few.

"She's right! Don't just hold them! Throw em!" Misty exclaimed.

"Misty! Ash i got this! Get those pokéballs to Nurse Joy now!" Ellie ordered taking out her healball and luxury ball."Go! Sandshrew! Let's go Eevee!"

"Shrew!" Sandshrew said coming out of its ball.

"Eev!" Eevee replied feeling refreshed.

"Those things can't beat us." Jessie coyly said

"We'll see about that!" Ellie said

" Koffing tackle!"

"Ekans Wrap!"

"Sandshrew dodge it and use scratch! Eevee use agility to dodge it!" Ellie ordered.

The two Pokémon came closer as The fox pokemon unleashed agility rapidly scattering around confusing Ekans, while Sandshrew dodge it and scratched at Koffin.

"Sandshrew dig! Eevee quick attack!" Ellie exclaimed.

Seconds passed and Ellie turned to her friend.

"Ash! Take pikachu to safety! I'll handle them!" Ellie said to a worried Ash.

"But-"

"No buts! Get pikachu out now!" Ellie exclaimed keeping her eye on her opponents.

Ash nodded as he pushed the stretcher out, Ekans and Koffin started to go after Ash until Ellie's Sandshrew popped up hitting Ekans and Eevee tackled Koffin.

"Great job guys!" Ellie cheered.

"Koffing!/ Ekans!" "Poison sting/Sludge!" The rocket members yelled.

Sandshrew got hit by the sludge attack As Eevee smoothly dodged the poison sting. Sandshrew got his eyes covered in sludge, the Snake pokémon wrapped Sandshrew tightly. The pokémon Struggled to get itself free but Ekans kept a good grip on Sandshrew.

"Sandshrew!" Ellie gasped She took out her pokéball and called her pokémon back leaving Eevee alone. 'I can't send out bulbasaur...its weak to poison type...'

"Looks like it's over for you." Jessie taunted

"Hey! Ellie! Pika!" Ash and Pikachu yelled out running towards Ellie and her Eevee.

"I thought i told you to go!" Ellie scolded looking at her friend and saw that Pikachu looked better.

Ash looked sheepish and told her what happen with the Pikachu power healing his pikachu, going back to help his friend with Misty's charred bicycle generating enough power on pikachu.

"Okay so let's finish them!" Ellie said

"Right! pikachu"

"Eevee!"

"Thunderbolt! Swift!" The two trainers said together.

"PIKACHU!"

"Eevee!"

The two Pokémon attacks merged and created Stars flying across with streaks of lighting as it hit team rocket sending them flying through the ceiling and through the sky above.

"TEAM ROCKET IS BLASTING OFF!"

They blasted off nowhere to be seen, Ellie and Ash just exchanged relieved looks. The pokémon center is half destroyed but luckily all the pokémon got to the next center safely with no casualties.

The next morning…..

'Okay...potions check, extra antidotes check, paralyzer heal...check..pokémon good to go.' Ellie thought checking her bag with her Eevee right beside her.

"Too bad Ash left early, i told him yesterday to wait up but knowing him he got too impatient and left." Ellie said "Viridian forest have a lot of bug pokémon so I want to make sure I have everything especially extra antidotes and other things."

The young girl let out a sigh. 'When will he learn to be patient? ' she thought. After a few more minutes of checking Ellie closed her backpack smiling at Eevee.

"We're good to go Eevee." Ellie said "To Viridian forest!"

"Eevee!"

Around an hour later Ellie and her Eevee wandered through the quiet forest.

'I wonder if i'll see Ash here? Well...if not i'll get some great pictures of bug pokémon here. Or better yet catch a few.' Ellie thought the young girl stopped in her tracks hearing rustling sounds in the bushes.

"A Pokémon! I'll catch it!" Ellie happily exclaimed "Let's go Eevee!"
