Chapter 7 Team Steam Strikes again

After a year of hard training Ash finally managed to complete his goal and his Lucario learned Nature Aura Sphere and even Aura Storm. Of course he didn't forget about his other pokemon. Everyone trained hard and we'll see if it pays off.

"Okay guys here it is year of training is behind us and Hevah League is ahead of us. Are you up to?"

"Yeah!" his pokemons replied

"Before we go we have to wait for Angie… I promised to take her with me"

"Don't worry master we can wait a little bit longer" Lucario replied him

"Thanks for support Lucario" Ash said and then he heard voice

"ASH!!!"

"Okay here it goes" he smiled

"Ash!!! I'm here!" Angie yelled and quickly hugged Ash

"Yeah I see" he smiled "So I guess we're ready to go" he said and got dressed into his cape

And they started their journey across Hevah region.
Year later Ash just won his seventh badge in Hevah

"Ash you're almost in league!"

"Yeah you're right Angie only one more"

"I'm sure you'll win" she blushed a bit

"Yeah thanks for believing in me"

"Ash where is the last gym?"

"We have to go through this cave and then we'll be there"

"That's great"

And then they went to entrance of the cave but before they reached it they heard a voice

"Ash did you hear that?"

"Yeah I did Angie be quiet we have to check what that was"

"Okay" she said and moved closer to Ash

"Okay do you have that thing?" said one of the people they heard

"Yeah I have it we can go to base" replied the other one

"Base?" Angie whispered

"Yeah. But they look very familiar…" he said but then he stopped

"What's going on Ash?" Angie asked

"Angie this is team Steam!"

"Really?"

"Yeah it is we have to find out what are they up to"

"Were you followed?" asked one grunt

"No everything is clean" other one replied

"That's good let's open the secret doors"

"Okay give me a second"

"They're going to hideout!"

"Yeah we have to go closer come on Angie"

"I'm right behind you"

"Okay it's opened" one grunt said

"Good job" other one blessed

"Stop right now!" Ash yelled and both of them turned their heads on Ash

"Oh no it's that cape guy we've met year ago and that little brat!"

"Yeah now go away and let me destroy your base!"

"We won't let you!" both of them yelled

"Go Electavire!"

"Go Garchomp! Now your Ho-oh will not defeat us!"

"Angie let me handle it"

"No I want to battle as well!" Angie protested

"Okay then. Take that Electavire guy"

"Yeah! Go Gastrodon!" Angie commanded

"Absol battle time!"

"Electavire use Thunder Punch!" grunt commanded

"You forgot that Gastrodon is a ground type so electrical attacks will not work! Gastrodon Earthquake!"

And this powerful wave knocked Electavire immediately

"Okay my turn" calmly said Ash

"Don't think you'll win cape guy!" grunt yelled angrily "Garchomp Dragon Claw!"

"Absol stay calm"

"As you wish" Absol replied

"Go Garchomp!!!!!"

"Absol dodge" Ash calmly commanded and Absol dodged quickly "Now use Ice Beam" Ash called an ice type attack after he said Absol unleashed white beam and hit Garchomp very badly

"Absol use Hyper Beam and end this" and another beam was unleashed from Absol's mouth and now it was absolute end for Garchomp

"Uaaaa run for your lives!!" both grunts yelled

"You're not getting away Lucario use Aura Bow!" he said a released Lucario

"Aaa!" Lucario yelled and threw Aura Bow which landed ahead of grunts

"Uh… please don't hurt us!!"

"Don't worry. I'm not planning to hurt you if you say what I want to know"

"Okay mister we'll tell you!" they said still terrified

"What's your plan Team Steam?"

"We're not allowed to tell anyone but please don't hurt us!!" said both of them "But you can have your answers if you go to our hideout" one of them added

"Very well" "Stay here Angie and guard these two"

"But I want to come with you!" she said and hugged Ash tightly

"Not this time Angie it's too dangerous for you" he said and moved her closer to him what makes her blush

"A-Ash?"

Ash moved his head down to hers and lightly whispered "Angie no. I can't take responsibility for anything what could happen to you" and then put her away

"Ash… Okay but please be careful"

"Don't worry about me" Ash said and ran to hideout's entrance

He was running almost 15 minutes before he reached the iron doors

"Lucario, Absol come on out"

"Okay guys I guess this doors leads to Team Steam main hall"

"I think you're right master" Lucario replied

"Let's find out!" Ash said and opened the doors right after it he heard an alarm "INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!"

"Okay I guess they've spotted us that's not cool" and before he knows it huge amount of Team Steam's grunts were appearing around him

"Okay there's no escape guys let's go for it! Shaymin and Flygon come on and join the party!" he called and released another two pokemons of his team

"Guys here it is its battle time!"

"Oh oh don't be so rash" said the person behind grunts

"Okay and who are you?" Ash asked

"I'm the leader of this Team" said the person and walked to him and after they've met Ash said with surprise tone of voice "Zero?!"

"How do you know my name?" Zero asked

"Maybe this will revive your memory" Ash said and moved his hood down

"Oh if it isn't Ash" Zero replied arrogantly

"So you escaped from prison huh?"

"You can say it that way"

"What's your plan now?"

"Nothing less then capturing Dialga"

"Okay since I know your plan I can't let it happened. I have to stop you!" Ash said with determination in voice

"No you don't capture him!" he commanded and two grunts captured Ash

"Now return you pokemons" Zero commanded

"Why should I do that?"

"Just do it or else you'll regret it"

"Okay then. Return guys" Ash said and returned his pokemons

"Good boy now you'll come with us. Grunts go after me" Zero pointed on two grunts which were holding Ash and he leaded them to control room

"Do you see that Ash?" he pointed on dimension hole

"What's that thing?"

"This is time dimension hole with this we can capture Dialga!"

"You can't do it!"

"I can! Activate dimension hole!" Zero yelled

"Roger!" grunts replied

"Stop it Zero!" Ash yelled and he escaped from the hug and ran to Zero's place

"It's too late Ash Dialga is here!" he yelled and Ash saw that he was right

"Are you insane Zero?! This is not a game Dialga is too powerful you can't capture it!" Ash yelled with all breath and then Dialga attacked dimension hole

"Zero this is too much you have to stop it or you'll be destroyed"

"No I'll not stop!!!" Zero yelled with crazy expression

After it in hole Ash saw a blue light

"It can't be… I have to be wrong. It can't be Roar of Time. This is crazy!" he thought

"Go away Zero!!!" Ash yelled and moved him away before Dialga used Roar of Time and created the time warp pole which absorbed Ash

"W-W-What is that?" that was last thing he said before he was absorbed by that pole

"What a power! This pole is unstable we have to go away quickly!" Zero said with frightening tone of voice

In warp pole

"Where am I?" "What did Dialga do?"

"Uaaaaaa!!!"
