They reappeared near the Pokemon Center on Route 32 as Mesprit went back inside her pokeball. They walked down to the entrance to the Union Cave and went inside. They went though the cave only to find out it was raining on the other side. "Oh great, it's raining" said Lucas

He took out their bicycle and both Lucas and Cheryl got on. They quickly rode their bike though Route 33 which was thankfully short and made it to Azalea town. They got off their bike and Lucas put it away. They walked into town and saw a guy talking to someone in a black uniform. "Who are you" asked the guy

"We are Team Rocket" proclaimed the grunt

"But you broke up three years ago" exclaimed the guy

"We only went underground and now we are back" proclaimed the grunt

The guy ran away as the grunt went to stand in front of the entrance to a well. Lucas and Cheryl went to the Pokemon Center to heal his pokemon and book a room for the night. Once they were done they went to explore the town. They found a place where they make charcoal and that the entrance to the gym was being blocked by a Team Rocket grunt. They then went to the house that is next to the Pokemon Center. They went inside and saw on old guy and a little girl. "If you are here for some custom made pokeballs, I'm not in the mood right now" said Kurt

"Does it have to do with Team Rocket" asked Lucas

"Yes" said Kurt

"They are cutting off Slowpoke tails at the Slowpoke well and selling them" he said

"But don't worry Slowpoke, Kurt is coming to save you" he shouted as he ran out of the house

"Please go help my Grandpa" pleaded the little girl

"Don't worry, we will" said Cheryl

They then ran out of the house. Once outside Lucas said "Let's go to the Pokemon Center first"

"Why" asked Cheryl

"I wanted to call Professor Rowan and asked him to send my pokemon over" said Lucas

"Alright" said Cheryl

They ran to the Pokemon Center and went inside. Lucas went to a phone that was near a transport machine and called Professor Rowan. "What do you need Lucas"

"I was wondering if you could send my pokemon over Professor" asked Lucas

"Why"

"Team Rocket is here is Azalea town cutting off Slowpoke tails and it would be a lot quicker to get rid of them with my pokemon you have" explained Lucas

"Alright, I am sending them over now"

"Thanks Professor" said Lucas

Six pokeballs appeared in the transporter and Lucas took them out. "I got them Professor" said Lucas

"Great"

"Why don't you keep them in case you run into anymore problems with Team Rocket"

"Thanks Professor" said Lucas as he hung up

Lucas carefully stored his pokemon from Johto in his bag and clipped his pokemon from Sinnoh to his belt. "Let's go" said Lucas

Cheryl nodded her head and they ran out of the Pokemon Center. They ran to the Slowpoke well to see the grunt that was guarding the entrance was gone and went down the slope to the well itself. They climbed down the ladder into the well only to see Kurt sitting on the ground holding his back. "Are you alright" asked Cheryl

"I tripped as I was coming into the well and fell on my back. Now I am in no condition to save those Slowpokes" said Kurt

"You will have to take my place" he said

"Don't worry, I will get rid of Team Rocket" said Lucas

"What do you mean that you will get rid of Team Rocket" asked Cheryl angrily

"I thought you could help him home" said Lucas

"Fine" said Cheryl

She put Kurt's arm over her shoulder and helped him out of the well. Lucas went further into the well and defeated three grunts before coming before their leader. "You have come to save the Slowpoke" asked Proton

"Yes" said Lucas

"I am Proton, the nastiest and most intimidating Executive of Team Rocket" said Proton

"You have no hope of defeating me" he said

"We will see about that" said Lucas

"Go Zubat" shouted Proton throwing a pokeball

"Go Luxray" shouted Lucas throwing a pokeball

"Where did that come from" asked Proton

"Sinnoh" said Lucas

"Luxray, Thunderbolt" he commanded

Luxray charged up a lot of electricity in his body before shooting it at Zubat knocking it out. "Return Zubat" said Proton

"Go Koffing" he shouted throwing a pokeball

"Luxray, Thunderbolt" commanded Lucas

Luxray charged up a lot of electricity in his body before shooting it at Koffing knocking it out. "Return Koffing" said Proton

"Fine, have the Slowpoke" he said

"We don't need them anymore anyways" he said as he threw down a flash bang

When Lucas could see again Team Rocket was gone. "Well at least they are gone" said Lucas

"Return Luxray" he said

He then made his way out of the well. He then went over to Kurt's house and went inside. "You're back" exclaimed Cheryl giving him a hug

"How is he doing" asked Lucas

"He is doing much better now" said Cheryl

"Thank you for your help Lucas" said Kurt

"It was no problem" said Lucas

"I want you to have this" said Kurt holding out a pokeball

"Thank you" said Lucas taking it

"That is one of the custom pokeballs I make" said Kurt

"If you can bring me some Apricorns, then I can make pokeballs out of them" he explained

"Cool" said Lucas

Lucas and Cheryl then left Kurt's house and went to the Pokemon center where Lucas healed his pokemon. Once they were healed he put them in his bag and took out his Johto pokemon. After he clipped them to his belt they went to go check out the gym. They found out that Azalea town Gym Leader used Bug type pokemon and that Lucas needed to train.

After a couple days of training Lucas was ready to for his second gym battle. Lucas and Cheryl along with Mesprit and Giratina left the Pokemon Center and went into the Azalea gym. They saw a door beyond the pokemon statues and went through it. They came into large room that looked like an indoor forest. They looked in front of them and saw the floor was made to look like a spider's web. They saw large, life like, spiders at the beginning of the web. "We are going to have to get on them to cross aren't we" said Cheryl

"Looks like it" said Lucas

"We have gone from scary to creepy" said Cheryl

After picking the right spider to get across the web and flipping all the switches to get across the second one, they came to what they thought was the gym leader. "Are you the gym leader" asked Lucas

"Yes" said the gym leader

"I am Bugsy, the Azalea town gym leader" said Bugsy

"Which one of you has come to challenge me" he asked

"I am" said Lucas

"I will show you the unbeatable force of bug pokemon" proclaimed Bugsy

"The gym battle between Bugsy the gym leader and Lucas of Twinleaf town is about to begin" said the referee

"Go Scyther" shouted Bugsy throwing a pokeball

"Go Quilava" shouted Lucas throwing a pokeball

"Scyther vs. Quilava, begin" said the referee

"Scyther, Quick Attack" commanded Bugsy

Scyther quickly ran at Quilava and hit him before jumping back. "Quilava, Ember" commanded Lucas

Quilava took a deep breath before shooting small balls of fire at Scyther hitting it. "Scyther, Focus Energy" commanded Bugsy

Scyther crossed its blades and focused its energy. "Quilava, Ember" commanded Lucas

Quilava took another deep breath and shot more small balls of fire at Scyther hitting it. "Scyther, Quick Attack" commanded Bugsy

Scyther quickly ran forward again and hit Quilava with more force than usual before jumping back. "Quilava, Ember" commanded Lucas

Quilava took yet another deep breath and shot even more small balls of fire at Scyther finally knocking it out. "Scyther is unable to battle, Quilava is the winner" said the referee

"Return Scyther" said Bugsy

"That was tougher than I thought it would be" thought Lucas

"I wonder what his next pokemon is going to be" he thought

"Go Kakuna" shouted Bugsy throwing a pokeball

Lucas and Cheryl looked at him incredulously. Even Mesprit and Giratina were shocked by the choice. "Are you serious about using that pokemon in a gym battle" asked Lucas

"Of course" said Bugsy

"But it doesn't do anything" said Cheryl

"My Kakuna is different from the rest" said Bugsy

"We will see" said Lucas

"Kakuna vs. Quilava, begin" said the referee

"Quilava, Flame Wheel" commanded Lucas

Quilava surrounded himself in flames before running at Kakuna knocking it out. "Kakuna is unable to battle, Quilava is the winner" said the referee

"Return Kakuna" said Bugsy

"It didn't seem so different" said Lucas

"Go Metapod" shouted Bugsy throwing a pokeball

"You are sending the other one out as well" exclaimed Cheryl

"Yes" said Bugsy

"The result will be the same" said Lucas

"No it won't" shouted Bugsy

"Metapod vs. Quilava, begin" said the referee

"Quilava, Flame Wheel" commanded Lucas

Quilava surrounded himself in flames before running at Metapod knocking it out. "Metapod is unable to battle, Quilava is the winner" said the referee

"The winner is Lucas of Twinleaf town" he shouted

"Return Metapod" said Bugsy

"Return Quilava" said Lucas

"You beat my bug pokemon" said Bugsy

"You should have know he would after beating your only pokemon that could do anything" said Cheryl

"Just take the badge and leave" shouted Bugsy throwing the Hive Badge at Lucas

Lucas caught it as Mesprit said "I think we made him mad"

They left the gym and headed back to the Pokemon Center.
