Hey guys LucarioMaster333 here With another chapter and also HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYBODY
Ash and the gang has finally made it to Cerulean City, but things began taking a strange turn when they saw a crime scene set up at a nearby store. Curious the gang went to investigate. "Officer Jenny what happened here?" Ash asked.
"Ash! Thank Arceus you're here. Some thieves broke into this store and stole a massive vacuum cleaner." Officer Jenny replied.
"Really? Do we know who done it?" Ash asked.
"I'm afraid not. There were no evidence left on the scene. Whoever done it knew what they were doing." Officer Jenny replied.
"We'll be on the lookout for anything suspicious." Ash assured.
"Thank you Ash. We could use some extra help." Officer Jenny said.
Cyrus then brought out his communicator. Team Galactic, be on the lookout for thieves in Cerulean City. I have a suspicion I already know who the thieves are." He ordered.
"Yes sir!" Mars replied.
"You think you know who stole the vacuum?" Officer Jenny asked.
"I think so. I think it was Team Rocket." Cyrus replied.
"Team Rocket? Stealing a vacuum cleaner? Doesn't seem right to me." Brock thought.
"Think. What evil purposes could you possibly do with a giant vacuum?" Cyrus asked.
"Good point. They could use it to steal Pokémon or Ash." Brock thought.
"All we know is that it can't be good. Team Plasma and Team Flare have joined them and that makes them unpredictably dangerous." Tabitha replied.
"What/Nani!?" Everyone asked in disbelief.
"Mars, Jupitar, Saturn. I've just been informed by one of Team Magma's admins that Team Plasma and Team Flare have joined forces with Team Rocket." Cyrus informed through his communicator.
"What!?" His entire team asked in just as equal disbelief.
"I want the entire city under watch." Cyrus ordered.
"Yes sir!" His team acknowledged.
"Cerulean City will be under the protect of Team Galactic and Team Magma." Cyrus assured Officer Jenny.
"And Team Aqua." Tabitha added surprising the group.
"Thank you all for your cooperation. If they show themselves then we'll know." Officer Jenny assured.
"Let's get going guys. The sooner I challenge the Gym Leader the further away Team Rocket and their allies will be." Ash suggested as he grabbed Pakura who was holding him in fear incase he fell in water.
"Unless they're already IN the city." Pakura thought.
They soon made it to the Gym where Tabitha introduced Ashley to Maxie and Archie. "Maxie, here's the Dragon Flame God."
"Thank you Tabitha, for bringing her safe and sound." Maxie said. He wore a red and black lab coat with a red 'M' on the black part, black pants, and black shoes. His hair was red and slicked back to chin length. "Greetings Ash, my name's Maxie. I'm the leader of Team Magma. And this is Archie, the leader of Team Aqua. We are two of the three Syndicates that seek to keep you out of the hands of Team Rocket, Team Plasma, and Team Flare." Maxie explained.
"And I'm the third." Cyrus added.
"The three Criminal Syndicates that wish to use you have different motives. Giovanni simply wishes to use you to create a powerful army. Ghetsis wishes you to HELP HIM SAVE POKEMON FROM People. And Lysandre wishes you to help him eradicate all Pokémon on the planet." Maxie explained causing Ash to growl.
"Well they can go fuck themselves 'cause there's no chance in HELL I'm doing any of that." Ash said.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the Flame Dragon Ash Ketchum? What brings YOU of all people to my Gym?" A familiar voiced asked. Ash turned to see Misty Waterflower smirking.
"Lay off Him Misty. He's had enough trouble from you when you were kids." Wallace the Hoenn Champion rebuked as he walked up to hug Ash. "How have you been?" He asked.
"Not too pleasant nowadays since three Criminal Syndicates are after my ass." Ash replied.
"Tch...that's an understatement." Misty thought causing Ash to glare at her.
"You best remember who has the advantage here aqua bitch." Ash threatened as he glare hardened. Sparks literally ignited from them glare at each other.
"Fire And Dragon versus Water. Polar opposites colliding in violent ways." Cyrus thought.
"Ash DOES have the advantage." Archie thought happily.
"Yes, but one false step could mean disaster for Him." Maxie thought bitterly.
"What do ya mean?" Archie asked as Maxie pointed towards the pool.
"That pool is this Gym's Battlefield. If Ash were to slip, He can swim...as well as be exhausted the water." Maxie replied.
"Oh man. That tough?" Archie asked as he started to sweat.
"Indeed. He has to be careful." Cyrus agreed.
"Two on two. No time limit." Misty said to Ash.
"Ha! You're going down!" Ash taunted as he ran over to the opposite side of the pool.
"Hold it! You have to wear a swimsuit before we battle." Misty warned.
"*Sigh* Fine." Ash said as he and Misty went into the changing room. Ash came out in a black shorts which gave Pakura A blush. Ash and Misty stood on opposite sides of the pool which had platforms for land based Pokémon.
"Misty calls Staryu!" Misty called out.
"Pikachu I choose you!" Ash called out as Pikachu leapt off his shoulder and onto a platform. (Decided Ash saved Pikachu and is part fire type)
"Staryu start off with Tackle!" Misty ordered.
"Pikachu stop it with Iron Tail!" Ash countered. Staryu leapt from the pool and Pikachu leapt from the platform, hardening his tail into iron. Once the two collided Ash gave a secondary command. "Now give it a Thunder Shock!" While Pikachu's tail was connected to Staryu Pikachu shocked Staryu into submission.
"Staryu return! Misty calls Starmie!" Misty called out.
"Good job Pikachu, return! Entei I choose you!" Ash called out as Entei leapt from Ash's left side onto the platform.
"Starmie use Swift!" Misty ordered.
"You know what to do Entei!" Ash said as Entei put on an Flame Counter-shield which held after being attacked. "Now use Thunder Fang!" He ordered as Entei leapt off the platform, baring electrically charged fangs.
"Starmie use Tackle!" Misty countered which was a bad move on her part. As soon as Starmie was in range, Entei bit down on him. "Quick shake it off!" Misty ordered. Staryu tried his best to throw Entei off, but she just kept hanging on.
"Entei use Flamethrower!" Ash ordered. While Entei was clamping down on Starmie she gave off a flame, effectively knocking Starmie out.
"Starmie return!" Misty recalled as she walked over to give Ash the Cascade Badge. "Here, take your damn badge and leave." She said.
"Gladly." Ash said as she took the badge and promptly left with his group.
"Got room for one more?" Wallace asked Ash causing Misty to facefault.
"Who's side are you on!?" Misty asked.
"Well Ash is a dear friend of mine, so I kind of want to see him grow." Wallace replied.
"See Misty? I have people who actually care about me. Karma's a bitch isn't it?" Ash asked causing Misty to twitch.
"Karma's not the only one who's a IDIOT!" Misty replied.
Ash walked over to Misty. "Call me a IDIOT again, I dare you." He threatened.
"Oh boy. Maybe we should break them up before they go too far." Brock suggested, sweatdropping.
"That's a good idea. They're awfully close to the edge of the pool." Cyrus agreed. Unfortunately the fight broke out. It was an all out fight.
"Ash, forget her, we need to go!" Brock said trying to pull him away.
"Misty stop this right now!" Wallace ordered as he tried to pull her away.
The two kept going at each other until Misty threw Ash into the pool surprising everybody. "CRAP!" Ash screamed as he fell into the pool and few feet under water and started to burn And started to swim fast and Pakura jumped in helping Ash and pulled him onto the ledge " Ash are you alright." Pakura asked kissing Ash trying to cool him down
"I feel very tired." Ash replied.
"That was really stupid of you! You knew Ash could burn! If he wasn't immortal, we would've had a serious problem with burns after he just came out of the water!" Cyrus berated Misty.
"Whatever." Misty said as she walked away. Suddenly a large machine broke through the wall.
"Uh oh. We've got trouble." He thought as he tried to stand but used his dragon power on his leg.
Jessie: "Did someone say 'trouble'?"
James: "You better make that double."
Jessie: "To protect the world from devastation."
James: "To unite all people within our nation."
Jessie: "To denounce the evils of truth and love."
James: "To extend our reach to the stars above."
Jessie: "Jessie."
James: "James."
Jessie: "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
James: "Surrender now or prepare to fight."
Meowth: "Meowth, that's right!"
"Team Rocket!" Cyrus exclaimed.
"I've got this covered." Ash assured as he tried to use a Flamethrower...but failed.
"How flame. The Dragon flame god is all out of power this should be easy." James taunted.
"Pakura get Ash out of here. I'll deal with Team Rocket Cyrus said.
"Ash let go." Pakura said as she support Ash left.
"Sneasel come out and use Shadow Ball!" Cyrus ordered as he released said Pokémon. Sneasel then charged up a Shadow Ball and shot it at Team Rocket's vacuum causing it to explode.
"Looks like Team Rocket's blasting off!" Team Rocket exclaimed as they disappeared in the horizon.
"I have a feeling those three won't be as big of a problem." Cyrus thought as he, Maxie, and Archie walked away.
"Sir, there appears to be no more Team Rocket grunts within the city." Saturn informed Cyrus.
"Excellent. Prepare to move the grunts to Vermillion City." Cyrus ordered.
"Yes sir." Saturn acknowledged as he left the Gym. Ash came back in fully energized.
"How are you feeling ASH?" Cyrus asked.
"Better. Charmander leant me some of his flame, so I'm running on half flame." Ash replied.
"That's good. You'll need to be at full strength when you take on the next Gym Leader." Cyrus warned.
"So Vermillion City then?" Brock asked.
"I've met the Gym Leader just recently. He uses a Raichu that he immediately evolved from Pikachu as soon as he got. Lt. Surge relies on power instead of wits and quick thinking." Wallace informed. "He also likes to beat Trainers Pokémon into submission." He added causing Ash to growl.
"Then it's time to give Lt. Surge a lesson he won't soon forget." Ash thought as he and the group promptly left the Cerulean Gym.
