Ash and Latias were planning the punishment for Misty and Brock. "I'm going to Team Rocket headquarters. I want to know what Misty and Brock are planning." Ash said.
Latias smiled. "Just be careful, Ash." she said.
Ash nodded. "Charizard, I choose you!" he cried.
Charizard appeared in front of Ash. "We're going to Team Rocket headquarters." Ash said.
Ash flew away on Charizard's back, leaving Latias far behind. "I love you, Ash. Come back to me soon." she said quietly.
After a few hours, Ash arrived at Team Rocket headquarters. "Now to find out what Misty and Brock are planning." he said.
Ash started sneaking around the grounds, looking for his former friends. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a strange looking girl. "Do you know where Misty Waterflower and Brock are?" he asked.
The girl turned toward him, startled. "Ash? Is that you?" she asked.
Ash was stunned. "How do you know my name?" he asked.
The girl laughed. "Don't you remember me? I'm Serena, from summer camp when we were kids." she said.
Ash was stunned. "I've got to get you out of here. This is Team Rocket headquarters." he said.
Serena laughed harshly. "You don't get it, do you, Ash? I'm a proud member of Team Rocket." she said.
Ash was shocked. "No! This can't be happening! First Misty and Brock betrayed me, then I found you here working for Team Rocket!" he cried, before flying back to Alto Mare in tears.
