Pokémon: When Pokeworlds Collided
Chapter 9: Union Cave/Slowpoke Well! New faces, good and bad alike
Michael: Welcome back to When Pokeworlds collided. This chapter covers Ash and his friends in the Union Cave and in the Slowpoke Well. Also, one of my reviewers OCs will make their first appearance. And don't worry; all OCs will appear a lot in each region, so it won't be a onetime thing. And you know how most characters in Red's world are evil, well you'll learn what will happen when they meet an Elite 4 member. Please review.
It was another great day in Johto and it was now time for Ash and his friends' journey in the Union Cave to their arrival to Azalea Town. Ash, Pikachu, and Latias (In her human form) were the first ones up as they waited in the lobby. The raven haired leader stretched his arms and yawned deeply.
"Boy, that battle was really took a lot out of ya don't you think?" he said to Latias and Pikachu.
The two nodded. "You know, I've gotten to be a much better trainer since leaving Sinnoh. Battling the right way makes me feel like a real trainer. I've changed a lot and grown a lot. Now everyone is counting on me as a leader. I got to do my very best."
Pikachu and Latias agreed as the Electric Mouse Pokémon hopped onto Ash's shoulders. A few minutes later, all of the Dexholders and Ash's team had woken up and entered the lobby of the Pokémon Center.
"Good morning Ash, Pikachu, Latias." they greeted.
"Good morning, everyone!" Ash said, smiling.
"So we'll be entering the Union Cave right? What Pokémon do you think we'll find in the cave?" said Yellow, who was scratching ChuChu on her ear.
"Mostly Pokémon that live in caves like Zubats and Rock Pokémon. I heard a rumor in the Pokémon Center that someone is training in the cave. Maybe we'll meet this person." said Drew.
"Maybe. So everyone well-fed and ready to go?" said Ash and his friends nodded.
"Alright, let's get moving." the raven haired teen added as the heroes left and walked to the entrance to the Union Cave. Everyone stared at one another and looked back to the cave entrance.
"Ready everyone?" said Ash as they nodded again. Ash looked back to Pikachu and Latias, who nodded as well. Together, they entered the Union Cave.
Inside the cave, it was dark and very hard to see.
"Oh man, its pitch black in here!" Barry said.
"No need to worry, I'll light things up. Pachairisu, spot light!" Dawn said and tossed a Poke Ball into the air. Outside the Poke Ball was a white and blue squirrel Pokémon. The squirrel Pokémon jumped cheerfully as Dawn knelled down to it.
"Pachairisu, can you please use Flash for us?" Dawn asked.
"Of course Dawn, I'll try!" Pachairisu said as its blue cheeks sparked with electricity. Its whole body glowed with a blue light, lighting up the whole cave all around them.
"Much better, thank you Dawn." Platina thanked.
"You're welcome. Now let's keep moving." the blunette coordinator said.
With finally some light to guide them, the heroes walk deeper into the cave. They came near a body of water which also had a waterfall roaring in the distance.
"Still a long ways to go until we get out of here." said Red.
"Then you better be careful. The Wild Pokémon here become dangerous in this cave." said a voice.
Ash and the heroes looked around to see someone walking up them. He was a well-toned man with raven black hair tied back behind his head and also black eyes as well. He wasn't wearing a shirt, showing his well-toned body but wore white pants with a black belt. Around his wrist were black metal bands. He wasn't wearing shoes so the heroes could see his bare feet walk on the earthy floor. Ash, Misty, and Brock were surprised to see him, but Red was the only one who stood there shocked.
"Bruno of the Kanto/Johto Elite four, long time no see." said Ash with a smile.
"Ash, Brock, Misty, it's great to see you again. What brings you hear in Johto? And who are your friends?" the Kanto/Johto Elite Four member said.
"These are my friends; May, Max, Drew, Belle, Dawn, Barry, Kenny, Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Say hello." Ash said.
"Nice to meet you!" they greeted, all except for Red and Latias.
"So Ash, what's brings you hear in these caves? Are you training yourself?" the fighting type Elite Four member asked.
"Not actually. I'm just showing the Johto region and beyond to my new friends. They're from a region very far away and are new here." Ash lied. "Do you know the way out of the cave?"
"I've been training here for a while now here in these caves, so I can take you to the way out of here and you'll be at the next city." said Bruno.
"Thanks Bruno." Brock and Misty replied.
"Okay." said Bruno in a calm voice. "Let's get moving."
The fighting type Elite Four Member took the lead and guides the heroes along the water. While they walked on, the two groups conversed.
"Wow, I can't believe that an Elite Four member of Kanto/Johto is helping us!" said Max, feeling the knowledge of People and Pokemon coming back to the surface..
"At least we won't get lost anymore and since Dawn's Pokémon is giving us some light, we might be able to know where we're going." added Drew.
As Ash, Pikachu, and Latias stood behind Bruno, Ash was tapped on his right shoulder by someone. Ash turned his head to see Red, with his Pikachu Pika on his left shoulder.
"Ash, please tell me why we're following him?" asked Red.
"He's a very familiar face of mine from five years ago. He's going to help us." Ash explained.
"But he's evil; he also tried to wipe out humanity on one of the Sevii Islands." Red said in a hush voice.
Ash stared at the Kanto Champion with disbelief on his face. Ash then chuckled.
"You know this is my world you know. Not everyone is evil, whatever that means. Just relax because you wouldn't want to make a fool of yourself."
"Fine, but I still don't trust him." Red said with a huff.
"Fine by me." Ash replied as he turned back around. Bruno continued walking until he said, "Be careful, the wild Pokémon are dangerous, especially when they are hungry. So, not one has any food to draw their attention."
"Right." Ash's team said as Red's team nodded. The heroes then heard the sound of a wrapper. They turned around to see Diamond eating a Candy Bar. The heroes and Bruno all panicked.
"Diamond, what you are doing?" Platina and Pearl yelled.
"I'm just eating a candy bar. What's the problem?" he said, continuing his candy bar.
"Dia didn't you hear what Bruno said, if you have any food, it'll attract..." but Max's words were cut short by the sound of wings flapping. Max looked fearful as he finished, "Wild hungry Pokémon."
About half a dozen Zubats appeared around them as more Pokémon appear. The Rock snake Onix, Rattata, Geodude, Sandshrew, Makuhita, Absol, Chingling, and Bronzor.
Ash's team, the Dexholders, and Bruno all sweat dropped. Platina then said, "When we get home, you are so going on a diet."
The Pokémon's faces were watering from the sweet smell of Diamond's candy bar. Suddenly, the wild Pokémon started to attack. Several of the Rattatas began to use sand attack to kick up the sand around them as Geodudes used rock throw and tossed rocks at the heroes' path.
"Everyone get out of the way!" Bruno hollered as the rocks struck every which way. One of the rocks stuck where Yellow stood, causing the blond haired dexholder to tumble and fall. ChuChu fell off of Yellow's shoulders as Yellow tried to get up.
"Yellow, watch out!" Red and Ash cried as an Absol launched a Razor Wind from its horn. The Razor Wind hit Yellow and ChuChu, sending them into the water. The water currents carried the two along the water and off a waterfall.
"Yellow!" Red screamed as he watched Yellow and ChuChu disappeared from view. "We gotta go after them!"
Another Rock Throw (Geodude), Razor Wind (Absol), and rounds of Hidden Power (Makuhita), Supersonic (Zubat), Shadow Ball (Chingling), and Charge Beam (Bronzor) were fired at them.
"We don't have time, we'll go somewhere for safety, then we'll find Yellow and ChuChu. Wait a minute." Ash looked around to see Pikachu and Latias were gone. "Where are Belle and Pikachu?"
Ash looked even farther to see Latias (With Pikachu in her arms) about to dive into the water. With a quick nod, they dived in as Brock said, "Don't worry about Pikachu and Belle, they can handle themselves, we should find somewhere to hide."
Ash nodded to his friend as the heroes and Bruno retreated somewhere safe.
Meanwhile with Yellow and ChuChu, the blond haired dexholder had woken up in the bottom basement of Union Cave.
"Wow, we must have been hit really bad to end up here. I hope Red and the others are alright." she said as ChuChu nodded in agreement.
"Hey Yellow, ChuChu, are you alright?" a voice called out.
Yellow and ChuChu turned around to see Latias and Pikachu swimming up to them.
"Pikachu, Latias, you two came down here to help us?"
Latias nodded, Pikachu nodded as well. "Thank you. Hey Latias, think you can turn back and fly us out of here?"
Before Latias could nod, they heard the sounds of bubbling water. Yellow swam closer to Latias and Pikachu as they waited for what was raising from the water. With a splash of water what rose from the water was a Lapras. When Pikachu saw the Lapras, he recognized it on the first try.
"Lapras is that you?"
The Lapras lowered its head to Yellow, Pikachu, ChuChu, and Latias and said, "Pikachu, it's been too long, what are you doing in these caves and where's Ash?"
Pikachu chuckled. "Yeah we're traveling with our new friends through Johto and we got separated from Ash when we were attacked by Wild Pokémon. What about you?"
"I was much old enough to leave my family and I decided to take a dive into an underwater cavern. I guess I ended up here."
"Just our luck, can you help us get out of here and back to Ash?" ChuChu asked.
"Of course! As friends of Ash, It would be my pleasure." said Lapras as Pikachu, Latias, Yellow, and ChuChu climbed unto her back. Then suddenly, Yellow's Poke Gear rang. She took the Poke Gear from her neck and answered it.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Yellow is that you?" said a voice.
"Ash, yeah it's me. I'm with Pikachu, ChuChu, and Latias. We also found a Lapras, the one you said you used in the Orange Islands."
"Really, that's awesome! So, have you found a way back to us yet?" asked Ash.
The raven haired teen was standing in a cavern, with everyone waiting patiently for Ash to finish his call with Yellow.
"Not yet, but we'll follow this path and see if we can a way back." replied Yellow.
"Think you'll be fine Yellow. I mean you're in the water and ChuChu is your own way to damage Water Pokémon besides my Pikachu." Ash said.
"Don't you worry Ash, I'll be fine. Besides, I'LL WON'T REST UNTIL I GET MY DATE, RED!" Yellow screamed, shocking everyone in the cavern.
Ash smiled nervously and look to Red. Red sweat dropped, 'She's persistence.' Red thought nervously.
"Okay, we'll fight the Pokémon here on the first floor and try to get to you." Ash explained.
"And Pikachu, ChuChu, and I will handle the Pokémon here in the basements along with Lapras." added Yellow.
"Right, good luck Yellow." Ash said.
"Right, you too." said Yellow as their call was finished.
With Yellow, Pikachu, Latias, Lapras, and ChuChu, Lapras was surfing the waters as Yellow and the others were on the lookout for Wild Pokémon.
"Everyone, keep a sharp eye for wild Pokémon."
Pikachu and ChuChu nodded as Latias watch the back. Suddenly, the Human Eon Dragon Pokémon noticed several bubbles bubbling in the water. Worried, she quickly tapped Yellow on her shoulders and pointed her to the bubbles. More bubbles formed as Water Pokémon appeared on the surface of the water. Several small and large crab-like Pokémon and a several blue Pokémon with webbed hands. Then even more Pokémon appeared. A large jellyfish Pokémon and a large goldfish-like Pokémon.
"Oh my Mew, there's Krabby and Kingler, and Quagsire!" Yellow gasped.
"Oh my…" Pikachu and ChuChu said together.
"And Tentacruel and a Seaking too!" Latias thought shockingly.
The Krabby and Kingler fired bubble and Bubblebeam, the Quagsire fired Mud shot, while Tentacruel fired Poison Sting and Seaking fired Water Gun. Lapras did its best to dodge the attacks as Yellow yelled, "Lapras, hurry and step on it!"
"Right, don't worry!" Lapras said as she swam even faster.
Back with Ash and the others. Ash was speaking with the others on their attack plan.
"Okay, we have to think this out; we can't just rush into it without a plan. We have Zubats, Onix, Rattata, Geodude, Sandshrew, Makuhita, Absol, Chingling, and Bronzor. We know their weakness and we have the Pokémon to take them down. Everyone got it?"
"Right!" they nodded.
"Misty, Max, Dawn, Ruby, Kenny, Blue, Platina, you guys handle the Onix and Geodudes," Ash said to them.
"Right." said Misty.
"We can handle it." Max said.
"You got nothing to worry about." said Barry excited.
"I don't want to but I'll do my best." Ruby groaned.
"No need to worry." said Dawn and Platina.
"It'll be a piece of cake." said Blue.
"Emerald, Drew, Diamond, Red, Crystal, May, You guys handle the Sandsherws," Ash said to them.
"Right." nodded Emerald.
"Saur and me can handle it Ash." said Red, holding Saur's Poke Ball in his hand.
"Magaree and I will handle it too." said Crystal.
"Since it was my fault, I'll do my best." said Diamond.
"We'll do our best as well." said Drew and May together.
"Gold you handle the Zubats while I handle the Makuhita." continued Ash.
"Got it, Ash. Just leave them to me." Gold nodded.
"Bruno, that Absol will possibly be in the way, so handle it with your Fighting Pokémon."
"Right." the Elite four member said.
"Silver, Brock, you guys handle those Clinglings and Sapphire, Diamond, Green, those Bronzors and Rattata are all yours." finished Ash.
"Got it!" Silver, Brock, Sapphire, Diamond, and Green said.
"Okay everyone, let's do this!" Ash said.
Outside the cavern, the hungry Pokémon were waiting for the humans with that delicious smell to return. Their mouths; still watering, hoping to taste that wonderful smell. Finally, the heroes, first was Misty, Max, Dawn, Ruby, Kenny, Blue, and Platina came out of the cavern with their water Pokémon ready to battle.
(Cue Heroes of Hoenn— Pokémon Anime)
As Onix began to throw rocks at the Water Pokémon with a swing of its rocky tail, Misty cried, "Psyduck, stop the rocks with Psychic!"
Psyduck's eyes glowed as the rocks were stopped in mid-air. With a quick blink of its eyes, the rocks stuck Onix in its stone hard body, stunning it for a second.
"Now Psyduck, Water Gun!" cried Misty.
"Empoleon/Piplup, use Hydro Pump!" Platina and Dawn cried in union.
"Mudkip, use Water Gun!" Max cried.
"Empoleon/Blastoise/Swampert, use Hydro Cannon!" Barry, Kenny, Blue, and Ruby cried.
Powerful water attacks erupt from the Water Pokémon as Onix and the Geodudes were caught into a water whirlpool which slowly formed into a large watery bubble. The Rock Pokémon swirled around in the bubble, each with swirls in their eyes.
"Now Piplup, pop the bubble with Peck!" Dawn commanded.
Piplup hopped into the air, its beak glowing and with several quick peaks, the Bubble popped, its contents; the rock types and water itself falling back into the ground. The Rock Pokémon was motionless as the Sandshrew made their assault on the Water Pokémon with Swift and Sand attacks. As the Water Pokémon ran for their trainers, it was next team to step up to bat.
"Venusuar, use Petal Dance!" May commanded.
"Roserade, use Magical Leaf!" Drew commanded.
"Suar, use Razor Leaf!" Red commanded.
"Tru, use Razor Leaf!" Diamond commanded.
"Sceptile, use Bullet Seed!" Emerald commanded.
"Megaree, use Razor Leaf!" Crystal commanded as well.
A flurry of green leaves, pink petals, colorful leaves, and yellow bullets formed into a whirlwind, which carried the Sandsherws and spinning them around. The grass attacks cut the Sandsherws in every which way, causing massive damage. When the grass attack whirlwind disappeared, the Sandsherws crash into the ground like the Rock Pokémon. As the Sandsherws were knocked out, The Zubats screeched a loud Supersonic that caused both Pokémon and trainers to try to cover their ears from the loud sounds. Then several more Zubats flapped their wings and send out sliver crescent that struck the Grass Pokémon. As the first batch of Zubats was still using Supersonic, Gold took one hand from his ear and reach for a Poke Ball.
"Pichu, hurry and use Thundershock!" Gold cried out.
Gold tossed the Poke Ball into the battlefield and out came Pichu. Pichu's pink cheeks sparked as he let out a Thundershock that shocked the Zubats that were using Supersonic and knock them from the sky. The second batch of Zubats tried to use Air Cutter, Pichu bob and weave through the Air Cutters and launched another Thundershock at the Zubats. The Zubats were shocked and dropped to the ground like Flies. As Pichu's thundershock was finished, he was then struck by one of Makuhita's gloved fist. Pichu was knock back as Makuhita readied a Fire Punch.
"Pidgeot, use Aerial Ace!" Ash commanded.
Pidgeot, now cloak in the wind, dashed her way to Makuhita, striking the Pokémon with full force that it was launched into the air.
"Now Pidgeot, use Gust!" Ash commanded again.
Pidgeot beat her wings as gust of wind caught Makuhita in place as the Hoenn Pokémon crashed into the ground.
"Glad that Pokémon is out of the way." Pidgeot said, sighing in relief.
"Pidgeot, watch out!" Pichu said.
A lone Razor wind came near inches of Pidgeot's wings as the Bird Pokémon dodged it in time. Absol began to fire more Razor Winds as Pidgeot did her best to dodge every last one. Finally Pidgeot was struck in the back by a Razor Wind, causing her to fall to the ground,
"No Pidgeot!" Ash cried.
"Machamp, hurry and catch Pidgeot!" Bruno said, sending out his Machamp. Machamp caught the large Bird Pokémon in the air. Machamp then lowered the Bird Pokemon to the ground as Pidgeot look to the Fighting Pokemon.
"Thank you." Pidgeot said.
"Don't mention it." Machamp replied.
"Pidgeot, can you continue on?" Ash asked.
Pidgeot nodded her feathery head.
"That's good, Pidgeot use Quick Attack!" Ash commanded.
Pidgeot took flight once more and dash her way to the Absol.
"Machamp, follow Pidgeot and use Cross Chop!" Bruno commanded.
Machamp ran his way to Absol while following Pidgeot's tail feathers. Absol fired Shadow Balls and Razor Winds as the two Pokémon dodged everything that they could dodge. With the full force from Pidgeot's Quick Attack, Absol was knock off its feet and crashed into the ground. Machamp's arms glowed white and with his arms crossed, performed a Cross Chop which sent the Dark type Pokémon into a crater.
"That's it for him." said Ash and Pidgeot and Machamp panted a little. Suddenly A loud Echoed Voice rang through the cave causing both Trainers and their Pokémon to shriek, feeling their ears ring with pain. The Chinglings were echoing their voices really loud as Silver and Brock had their ears covered, their Pokémon Weavile and Sudowoodo trying their best to keep it together.
"Grr, Weavile use Feint Attack!" Silver commanded.
"Sudowoodo, use Mimic and copy Weavile!" Brock commanded as well.
Weavile and Sudowoodo struggled to get in control as they dashed their way to the Chinglings. With Weavile's claws and Suduwoodo's tree branch arms, they sucker punched each and every Chingling in sight, finally ending the Echoed voice. All that was left were the Bronzors.
The Bronzors were using Gyro Ball and were spinning their way to Sapphire's Toro, Pearl's Chimler, and Green's Charizard. The Bronzors struck the Fire Pokémon, pushing them back.
"Boy for some small Pokémon, they sure pack a punch." Sapphire admitted.
"Then we have to hit back harder. Charizard, Blast Burn!" Green commanded.
"Chimler, use Flamethrower!" Pearl commanded.
"Toro, use Overheat!" Sapphire commanded.
The three Fire starters' fire attacks formed together into a spiral of red hot yellow flames. The flames circled around the Bronzors, trapping them in a fiery tornado. The fire tornado raged on as the heat warmed up the cave. Finally the fire tornado finally died down, leaving the Bronzors knock out and with burn marks on their steel like bodies. The Wild Pokémon that was knocked out finally rose back onto to their feet/into the air to see all the Pokémon that defeated them. With an upset looks of defeat, the Pokémon made a hasty retreat.
"Alright!" Ash's team and most of the Dexholders said as they cheered for beating the Wild Pokémon. Bruno folded his arms confidently as Red said, "We really showed those wild Pokémon. Now let's go find Yellow and the others."
The heroes and Bruno returned their Pokémon to their Poke Balls and continued looking for Yellow, Pikachu, ChuChu, and Latias.
Meanwhile with the four in question, they were being chased by the Water Pokémon while riding on Lapras. They were still ahead of the Water Pokémon, but Yellow could tell Lapras was getting slower by the minute.
"We need to find a way out of here or we'll be in trouble, you and ChuChu can't use your electric attacks or we'll be shocked as well. We need to find a way out." Yellow said, grabbing onto Lapras even tighter. The blond haired dexholder looked up into the ceiling and searched for anyway for them to escape. Then she spotted a large hole in the distance.
"Guys, I bet we can escape through there." Yellow announced to the Pokémon.
"But we don't have wings to fly up." ChuChu said to her trainer.
"We may have no wings, but we do have wind." Yellow said confidently as she took a Poke Ball from her brown belt.
"Kitty, I choose you!" said Yellow as her Butterfree materialize from its Ball. Kitty flew near its owner's head as Yellow said to it. "Kitty, I want you to use Whirlwind to lift us up. And Lapras use Ice beam as well."
"Right." The two Pokémon said nodding.
Kitty then beat its wings really hard, bring up water and wind. Lapras opened her mouth and shot out an Ice Beam which froze the wind and water. The combination of Whirlwind and Ice Beam created a frozen spiral that shot up into the hole and saved Yellow and the others from the Water Pokémon's pursuit. The Water Pokémon on the other hand crashed into the frozen spiral and sank into the water.
And back again with Ash and the others, they came across a strange hole in the ground.
"That's strange; I wonder where this hole leads?" Ash pondered. The raven haired teen then heard the sound of rumbling. He looks to Diamond and May.
"May, Diamond, is that your stomach growling?" he asked politely.
"No way, it wasn't us!" they said truthfully.
"Then what..." but Ash's words were cut off by a ice spiral shooting up from the hole, revealing Lapras with Yellow, Kitty, Pikachu, ChuChu, and Latias on her back. When Lapras and Kitty ended their attacks, they came falling back to Ash and company. Latias landed onto Ash, ChuChu and Pikachu landing near Dawn and Piplup, Lapras landed safely but tired from the Ice Beam, and Yellow (Unfortunately) landing on Red/
"Glad to see you are alright." Ash strained, groaning in pain. Latias softly giggled.
"Look who finally made it back." Piplup chirped jokingly.
"You know me, always making an entrance." Pikachu said, scratching his ear.
While Yellow sat on top of Red, she smiled. "Hi Red, how's it going?"
Red merely sweat drop.
After Yellow and Latias were off Ash and Red, Ash recaptured Lapras, now reentering her to his roster of Pokémon. Bruno continued leading them to the exit, where Bruno was ready to say goodbye.
"Well, this will lead you to the next town. I'm going to continue my training in the caves." Bruno said to the heroes.
"That's good to hear. Hey Bruno, let's have a match one day."Ash said to the fighting type Elite Four member.
A smile was formed on Bruno's face. He held out his hand to Ash's. "I'd like that. Take everyone and good luck on your journey." he said and Ash shook it. With a small wave back, Bruno turned and walked away. As everyone waved goodbye, Ash said to everyone, "Come on guys. Let's go."
With one final look from behind them, the heroes finally exit the Union cave. What greeted the heroes once they entered Route 33 was a light drizzle of rain.
"I guess it's going to rain soon. We should get to Azalea Town quickly before we get soak." said Brock.
"Right." said Ash as they walked even further through the route. When they came across a patch of grass, they could hear two people talking.
"Just say I'm right and we can end this little squabble." said a boy's voice.
"Why would I end it, you know I'm right and you know it!" said a girl's voice.
It was two twins, both looking the same in either way.
(A/N: These are Angel the Dark Wizard's OCS, but she didn't give me any description on what they look like, I'll just wing it. Hope you're OK with it).
Both Twins had light brown hair and black eyes. Although the boy wore a white and blue baseball cap over his short hair, the girl had her hair tied in a ponytail. The boy wore a red T-shirt over a gray jacket, with blue jean shorts on his legs and white sneakers on his feet. The girl wore a white blouse with a light blue skirt. Lastly she wore black hi-tops shoes with white laces on them.
"Water Pokémon can beat Fire Pokémon and you know it!" the boy said to the girl.
"But what about that kid who enter the Silver Conference? He beat a Blastoise with a Charizard." The girl replied back to the boy.
"Doesn't matter, you know its true." said the boy.
"Excuse me." Ash said politely.
The twins turned around to see Ash and the others watching them.
"Oh sorry, did we annoy you?" the girl said to the group nicely.
"Umm, we just were wondering why you were arguing about." asked Ash.
The boy rubbed the back of his head and said, "It's just some agreement we get ourselves into. Hey." He said, pointing to Ash. "You're that boy from the Silver Conference, right, Ash Ketchum; the one with the Charizard?"
"Umm, yeah that was me." said Ash, feeling a little concerned.
It's nice to meet you. My names Kyle but everyone calls me Ky." The boy named Kyle said.
"And my names Kiley, but everyone calls me Ki for short." The girl named Kiley said.
"Nice to meet you, you already know my name and this is my partner, Pikachu." said Ash.
"Nice to meet you." Pikachu said.
"This is my friend, Belle; but she doesn't talk at this moment." Ash added, introducing Latias. Latias smiled and nodded.
"My name is Misty, one of the leaders of the Cerulean Gym in Kanto." Misty said with a smile.
"I'm Brock, former Gym leader of the Pewter city Gym in Kanto and Pokémon Breeder and future Pokémon Doctor." said Brock.
I'm May, Pokémon coordinator from Hoenn." May said.
I'm Max, a new Pokémon trainer from Hoenn." Max said.
"My names Drew, I'm a coordinator from Hoenn." said Drew.
"My names Dawn, I'm a coordinator from Sinnoh and future Pokémon stylish. And this is my partner Piplup." Dawn introduced.
"Hello." Piplup chirped.
"My names Barry, I'm a Pokémon trainer from Sinnoh. Nice to meet you." said Barry.
"My names Kenny, a coordinator from Sinnoh." said Kenny
"Name's Red." said the other world Kanto Champion.
"I'm Green. Green Oak." said Green
"Name's Yellow. Nice to meet you." said Yellow.
"My name's Blue." said the brunette Dexholder.
"My names Gold and these are my friends Crystal and Silver." said Gold, introducing Silver and Crystal as well.
"I'm Sapphire and these are my friends Ruby and Emerald." said Sapphire, introducing Ruby and Emerald.
"I'm Diamond, these are my friends Pearl and Platinum." said Diamond.
"Nice to meet all of you." Kyle and Kiley said together.
"So what were you arguing about anyway?" asked Drew.
"Well my sister who is a Pokémon Breeder thinks Fire types are better than Water types. I'm a Pokémon Artist and think the other way around." said Kyle.
Kiley got in feet of distance of Ash's face, freaking out the raven haired teen. "But you beat a Blastoise with a Charizard. Come on, please back me up Ash!"
"Uhhh..." Ash said, felling the sweat go down his back. Before he could respond, he heard a voice.
"Ash, Misty, Brock!" a voice called out.
"Huh?" the Kanto trio said as a familiar face ran up to them. The girl was around Max's age and most of the younger Dexholders' age. She had brunette hair and blue eyes with her hair in loops. She wasn't wearing her casual clothes, but pink and red robes.
"Maisy, long time no see." Ash greeted.
"No time to reminisce, Ash, you need to help my town right away."
"How come?" Misty asked the girl.
"Some people in black have invaded the town. Please help us." she plead.
Ash looks to his friends, who nodded in agreement. Ash knelled down to the young girl and said, "We'll help. We helped the town before, we'll do it again." He looks to Kyle and Kiley. "You guys want to help too?"
"Oh course!" the twins responded.
The raven haired leader turned back to Maisy. "Lead into town, Maisy."
"Oh thank you Ash, I knew I could count on you and your friends." Maisy said as she added, "Come on!"
Following Maisy's trail, the heroes came across a resident of Azalea Town who was talking with several Team Rocket Grunts. Three Ash and the others noticed off the bat. Jessie, James, and Meowth were with a male grunt member. Unlike their white uniforms, the grunt wore a black uniform and had purple hair.
"Alright, who are you?" said the man.
"You don't know us. Then let us give you a refresher. We are Team Rocket." said the grunt.
"But what's the deal? Why take them and do that to them?" the man said in shock.
Jessie scoffed. "Its better you don't ask any questions. We're only here for the Pokémon. We have no regrets if someone gets hurt."
"Now then, bet it bub!" Meowth said to the man. With his fury swipes attack, the man's face was scratched up and he fell with a thud. He screamed in pain as he got up and ran away back into the town. The grunt looked back to trio.
"Not bad, you three really handled that well. Still can't believe you never caught a Pokémon for Giovanni." the grunt admitted.
James and Jessie were furious. "Shut it, we're doing our best you know!" roared Jessie.
"I suggest you take that back or we tell Giovanni what happened at his birthday party." James said, his calmness returning.
The grunt's face burned red. "Those pictures were false and you know it."
"Let's not stand here and loathe around. Proton wants us to keep the Slowpoke Well entrance guarded by the public. Let's turn around and do our jobs." James added as they walked back to the Slowpoke Well and turned their attention to the well itself.
"Team Rocket's here." Ash whispered.
"Who's Team Rocket?" asked Kiley.
"Haven't you heard about them? They're a group of bad guys that steal Pokémon." Ash explained.
"We better hurry into town and see my grandfather. Maybe he can explain what's going on." said Maisy in a hush voice.
With some impressive sneaky skills, they passed by team Rocket and entered into Town. It was the same as Ash remembered it, but his thoughts were to help Maisy, Kurt, and the town. Maisy lead them to Kurt's house, who both Ash of his world and Gold and Silver from their world have met before. Maisy opened the door and the heroes, Kyle, and Kiley walked inside. Inside the house were not only the Apricorn Poke Ball expert Kurt but the Azalea Town Gym leader Bugsy. They were discussing something when they saw Ash and the others.
"Ash. Misty. Brock." the two said at once.
When the heroes, Maisy, Kyle, and Kiley walked up to them, they greeted one another. Gold sighed wishing Bugsy was a girl in this world.
"I see you and your friends made it in time. Team Rocket has invaded the town and took all the Slowpokes. They plan to cut the tails of the Slowpoke and sell them for a high price." said Bugsy.
"Aww, those poor Slowpokes!" Misty, Yellow, and Kiley said together.
Kurt stood from his seat. "Well I'm not going to sit here and let the town's Slowpoke's tails being sold for money. I'm going to the Slowpoke Well and handle it myself. Hang on Slowpoke, Kurt is coming to help!" and Kurt dashed out the house.
"That's grandpa, just leaving without a second thought. You better help him like before." said Maisy.
"Right. Okay, let's go and help Kurt." said Ash and the heroes, Kyle, and Kiley left the house and hurried to the Slowpoke well. They noticed that the grunt, Jessie, James, and Meowth were not there.
"I bet they're down in the Slowpoke Well along with Kurt. Let's hurry down there and help him." said Ruby as he tried to enter the cave. Ash and Sapphire held him back.
"Hold it Ruby; we can't all enter the Well. If more Rocket Grunts come, there won't be anyone to guard the way in. It's best if six enter the well. The rest of you can make sure no more grunts get in. As leader, I'll go."
"I'll go too. I want to help the Slowpokes." said Blue.
"We will come with you too." said Kyle and Kiley together.
"If a Pokémon is in danger, then I'm coming as well." said Yellow.
Latias nodded as well.
"Okay, the rest of you, keep a sharp look out for anymore Rocket members." Ash said to his friends. They nodded, understanding the task at hand. As they walk to the ladder down to the well, Misty said in a soft voice, "Ash, be careful."
He nodded, looking into Misty's eyes with his own. With one last glance, the six climbed down the ladder and entered the well where Kurt stood against a wall.
"Kurt, are you alright?" Ash said in concern.
"The ones who guarding the well went down into the well and entered that hole that they made. When I tried to follow them I tumbled down the well and hurt my back and I can barely move."
"Don't worry Kurt, We handle it form here." said Blue.
"Thank you very much. Be careful. I heard from members of Team Rocket that they brought some Elite member who is organizing this whole thing." added Kurt.
"Right. Let's go everyone." said Ash.
"Right!" everyone except Latias said as they entered the hole in the wall. Inside they found a huge area with bodies of water all around. When they walked even further, they saw a Rocket Grunt.
"Intruders, I handle you myself." the grunt said as he held out a Poke Ball. "Rattata, show them who's boss!" and sends out a Rattata.
Kyle steps up first. "I handle this one. Mudkip, I choose you!" Kyle sends out a Mudkip. Mudkip stood ready for battle.
"Your little Mudkip won't be a match for me. Rattata, use Quick Attack!" the grunt ordered.
Rattata ran its way to Mudkip as Kyle said, "Mudkip, try and dodge it!" Kyle said.
Mudkip did it's best to dodge Rattata for as long as it could as the rat Pokémon finally connected his Quick Attack. Mudkip was push back as Kyle said, "Don't let that Rattata beat you. Use Water Gun!"
Mudkip fired a stream of Water from its mouth, which drenched the Pokémon.
"Grr, you little brat. Rattata, use Focus energy!" commanded the grunt.
Rattata's body was now glowing as it was getting stronger.
"Careful brother, if it lands a critical hit, Mudkip's finished." warned Kiley.
'I know, then I better open up with a good attack or Mudkip is in trouble.' Kyle thought.
"Now Rattata, use Bite on Mudkip!" the Grunt announced again.
Rattata ran up to Mudkip; its fangs bared at Mudkip as Kyle thought of a counterattack. Then it hit him. "Mudkip, use Mud Slap quick!"
Mudkip hurled the mud into Rattata's mouth and face and was knock back. The Rattata was covered in mud as it began to cough the mud from its mouth. As it began to get back on its feet, Kyle said, "Now Mudkip, use tackle!"
Mudkip ran its way to Rattata, bashing it with its head. The Rattata was sent flying until it landed back on the ground, its eyes swirly. The grunt then growled in frustration and defeat.
"Rattata, return." he said as he returned Rattata to its Poke Ball.
"Mudkip return." Kyle said, returning Mudkip to its Poke Ball.
"Now, where is this Elite member we've been hearing about?" Ash said coolly.
"Proton is in the back of the cavern." the grunt said.
"Thanks, everyone let's go!" Ash announced to the others as they hurried more into the cavern where another grunt ambushed them.
"Another one? Why don't you guys stop harming the Slowpokes?" Kiley demanded.
"Stop cutting Slowpoke Tails? And disobey an order from Executive Proton? If you kids are going to stop us, then you have to beat us all! Go ahead and try!" the female grunt said as she sent out a Zubat. It was Kiley's turn to battle.
"Flareon, I choose you!" Kiley cried as she sent out her Flareon.
"You're little fire fox won't last for long. Zubat, use Supersonic!" the female grunt said as her Zubat sent a loud sound wave that caused Flareon to become confused. Flareon began to spin around as Kiley said, "Flareon, return!" and return Flareon on its Poke Ball.
"Kiley made a smart move, putting Flareon back into its ball. Now she has to think on what Pokémon to handle Zubat." explained Kyle.
Kiley took another Poke Ball from her belt. "Vulpix, I choose you!" And out came a Vulpix.
"Another little fire Fox, huh? Well then it's going to be confused as well. Zubat, use Supersonic on that Vulpix!" the female grunt said as Zubat used Supersonic again. But this time, Kiley had a plan.
"Vulpix, use dig!" said Kiley as her Vulpix dived into the ground, the Supersonic unaffected. The Zubat flew around the hole, waiting for Vulpix to resurface.
"Vulpix, use Fire Spin!" Kiley commanded.
A powerful fire attack shot out from the hole, trapping Zubat in a vortex of fire. As the Fire Spin ended, Zubat was burned in all places as Vulpix jump out of the hole.
"Now Vulpix, finish this up with Ember!" Kiley commanded.
Vulpix spat out bullets of fire, hits Zubat on its already small body. Zubat fell to the ground, its eyes all swirly.
"Zubat, return!" said the female grunt as she returned Zubat to its Poke Ball. "Ekans, go!" And out came a purple and yellow snake like Pokémon.
"Alright Vulpix, return and have a nice rest." she said as Vulpix was return to its Poke Ball. She then brought Flareon's Poke Ball again. "Flareon, I choose you!" and Flareon was back in the battle.
"Ekans use Poison Sting!" the female grunt commanded.
Ekans opened its mouth and fired pin like stingers at Flareon. Flareon was hit by the Poison Stings as "Flareon, use Flamethrower!"
Flareon spew out a stream of flames from its mouth, hitting and slightly burning the snake Pokémon.
"I won't go down so easily. Ekans use wrap!" said the female grunt as Ekans leaped at Flareon and wrapped its coils around it, its snake like body squeezing Flareon. As Flareon struggled to get out of Ekans' grip, the female grunt said, "Now Ekans use Bite!"
Before Ekans could sink it's fangs on Flareon, Kiley counterattacked with, "Quick Flareon, use Overheat!"
Flareon's orange and yellow fur began to heat up with warmth as the Ekans began to shriek in pain. A red hot burn mark appeared on Ekans' skin as Flareon fired a powerful stream of red hot flames from its mouth, surrounding Ekans in the flames. When the flames ended, Ekans was covered in soot and was knocked out. Kiley cheered as Ash and the others cheered as well.
"Flareon, return!" Kiley said, returning Flareon to its Poke Ball. "Thank you very much, you have a nice rest."
"Come on guys, let's keep moving." Ash said to everyone as they left the defeated grunt and continued on. They finally made it to the area where the Slowpoke was captured. There Ash and the others found Jessie, James, and Meowth with another man. He was wearing a black Team Rocket uniform with a silver metal belt and a black hat over his green hair and eyes. He also had silver and red gloves and boots with a yellow trim on his collar.
"Proton, do you think we have enough tails?" James asked.
Proton then spoke to the trio; his voice calm but aggravated. . "Enough is never enough, you think. We'll be able to sell enough on the market. Of course this will cover your little debt for Giovanni."
"Thank goodness." the trio said.
Ash looks to Kiley, Kyle, Yellow, Blue, and Latias who nodded.
"Stop, Team Rocket!" Ash announced to Team Rocket.
The trio and Proton turned to see Ash and his group.
"It's the twerps!" gasped the trio.
Proton merely smirked.
Pikachu and ChuChu hopped from their trainers' shoulders and stood ready for battle, their cheeks sparked with electricity. Before Jessie, James, and Meowth could attack, Proton held out his arm to stop them as he walked foreword. He spotted Ash and his Pikachu and said, "So this is the little boy who has stopped many of our field agents: Annie, Oakley, Butch, Cassidy, the Masked Man, Tyson... It baffles how a beginner trainer could do so much damage to Team Rocket. But now the gloves are off, Pokémon Trainers. One day Team Rocket will rule over all of the regions. This little plan of ours is only the tip of the iceberg. But could you really stop us?"
As Ash was about to step forward, Blue held him back. "Hold it Ash, let me handle him."
"You sure?" he said concerned.
"Trust me." she said with a smile.
Ash nodded. "Okay Blue, I believe you."
Blue then step forward. "I'll take you on, for the sake of the Slowpokes."
"Alright, but first introductions are in order. My name is Proton, Executive of Team Rocket."
"My name is Blue, Pokémon Trainer of Pallet Town." she said, half lying, half truthful.
"Alright Blue, Time to show you the power of Team Rocket. Zubat, Lets go!" Proton said Proton and sent out a Zubat.
(Cue Team Rocket Battle- Pokémon Heart Gold/Soul Silver)
Blue took out her first Pokémon. "Okay Jiggly, I choose you!" And Blue sends out her Jiggly, her Wigglytuff.
"Zubat, use Leech Life!" the Executive said.
Zubat flew near Jiggly, biting the Balloon Pokémon and sucking its blood. Jiggly screamed in pain as Zubat flew back to its trainer.
"Now Zubat, use huh?" But Zubat was frozen in mid-air after the Leech Life. It stared blankly at Jiggly with hearts its eyes.
"Hey what up with Zubat, it's not attacking." wondered Kyle.
"That's Wigglytuff's Cute Charm ability, bro. When Pokémon of another gender attack Pokémon with Cute Charm, they become infatuated with the Pokémon. Smart strategy from Blue, using her Wigglytuff in the first place." explained Kiley.
"You cunning little girl, you knew my Zubat was a boy, didn't you? So you allow me to make the first move, knowing full well that Cute Charm would take effect. But once my Zubat is broken from his love daze, you numbers are up!" Proton said.
"Then we'll just mop the floor with your Zubat. Jiggly, Float up and then use double slap!"
Jiggly inflated itself and floated in the air to Zubat. While Zubat was still in love with Jiggly, Jiggly slapped the Zubat around, knocking the bat Pokémon back and snapping it from infatuation.
"Zubat, use Supersonic!" commanded Proton. As Zubat let out sound waves from its mouth, The Balloon Pokémon struggled to stay afloat. Jiggly then deflated as Blue said, "Jiggly; time to sing!"
Jiggly opened its mouth and sang a song from the bottom of its voice and colorful notes appeared and spun around Zubat. Zubat's wings began to stop flapping as he dropped from the air like a rock.
"Alright Jiggly, now let's finish this with Tri-Attack!" Green commanded once more.
Jiggly opened its mouth and a triangle appeared. Fire, ice, and lightning appeared on each point on the triangle.
"Now Jiggly, fire!" Green ordered.
Jiggly fired the Tri-Attack which hit the Zubat as it fell. The Zubat was burned, frozen, and shock the Bat Pokemon as it was finally knock out.
"Awesome, way to go, Blue!" Yellow cheered.
"Zubat, return!" said Proton and return Zubat ro its Poke Ball. "Your strong, but let's see how you favor this? Koffing, go" and out came a Koffing. The Koffing floated in the air as Blue said, "Great job Jiggly, return." and returns Jiggly to its Poke Ball. "You did a great job, so you deserve a good rest."
Blue thought really hard on which Pokemon to use against it. As she placed Jiggly back around her belt, she knew who to use next.
"Granbull, I choose you!" Blue called out and out came her Granbull.
"You think her Granbull can handle it?" asked Kiley.
"Let's sure hope so." replied Yellow in a worried voice.
"Koffing, use Tackle!" Proton commanded.
Koffing floated its way to Granbull, using its own body and bash Granbull squarely in the stomach. Granbull was knock back as Blue commanded, "Granbull, use Bite!"
Granbull ran to Koffing with its Bull Dog like teeth bare as Proton said, "Koffing, use Smokescreen!"
Koffing opened its mouth and let out a huge cloud of dark smoke, clouding the fairy Pokemon in smoke. Granbull stop its attack as she coughed from the thickness of the smoke.
"Granbull!" Blue cried.
"Now Koffing, use Poison Gas attack!" Proton added as well.
Purple smoke came from Koffing's mouth as it mixed with the smoke, creating a Poison Smokescreen. Granbull felt really ill, feeling the poison taking effect.
"Granbull no!" Blue screamed again.
"Granbull, use Tackle!" Proton commanded again.
Koffing dived into the Smokescreen/Poison Gas and attacked Granbull while it couldn't see Koffing. Granbull began to struggle to stand on her feet as Koffing continued attacking.
"This is bad, with that Poison Gas/Smokescreen, Granbull is going to get even more poison and isn't going to be able to see Koffing. Blue better think of a way to get herself out of this jam." Ash said to the group.
'I got think of something or is over for Granbull. Come on Blue, you've got yourself out of tight spots before, this isn't hard.' she thought, hearing the sounds of Granbull getting pummeled by Koffing's tackle. Blue then yelled, "Granbull, if you can hear me, don't give up! I know you can get out of this, don't give up!"
Inside the Smokescreen, Granbull was kneeling in the ground, feeling even more poison drain her. Hearing the voice of her trainer, Granbull slowly rose back on to its hind legs, now ready to escape. Granbull could hear Koffing's breathing as the Gas Pokemon was ready for another attack. Granbull began to growl as a roaring flames was growing in her body. Granbull opened her mouth as a intense fire burst from Granbull's mouth, shape like the kanji 'big'. The Smokescreen/Poison Gas was swallowed by the flames as the smoke and fire died down. Blue, everyone, even Jessie, James, and Meowth were amazed.
"Whoa..." said Ash and the group.
"Cool!" Pikachu said as well.
"That was a power fire move." Latias thought.
"That was Fire Blast! I'm impressed that Granbull learned it!" Ash said in awe.
"It doesn't matter what moves you use, you won't stop me! Koffing, Smog attack!" Proton said as Koffing let out a cloud of filthy gasses.
"Granbull, jump to dodge and then use Take Down!" Blue commanded.
Granbull jump into the air and dodged the smog. With its whole body, the Fairy Pokemon sent the Gas Pokemon crashing into the ground. As Koffing tried to float back up, Blue made her final move.
"Let's wrap this up, use Fire Blast!"
Granbull fired another Fire Blast at Koffing, finally sending thee Gas Pokemon of fire. When the fire died down, Koffing was a ball of soot, its eyes all swirly.
"Alright!" said Kiley and Kyle cheered.
"Way to go, Blue!" Ash and Yellow said as well.
"Wow that twerp actually beat Proton." Meowth said, amazed.
"Her Pokemon were well trained and powerful. That Fire Blast was powerful even for a kid." Jessie said, amazed as well.
Proton brought Koffing back to it's Poke Ball. "To be beaten by a child, how unforgiving. For now Team Rocket will make their leave, but be warn Pokemon Trainers... Team Rocket is not finish yet. We will rule the regions of Pokemon and our boss will take over. So, remember it well trainers, this is not the last time you see Team Rocket. Farewell."
With a blink of a eye, Proton and Team Rocket were gone. Ash wasn't too surprise, neither was Blue and Yellow. When it came to Team Rocket, it was either a hasty get away or a blast off. Ash Watched as Blue took from her bag a Pecha Berry and three Oran Berry.
"Granbull." she remarked, feeding her Pokemon the berries. "You did magnificent. I'm so proud of you for learning Fire Blast. It really help/"
Granbull growling sweetly as Blue patted her on her head. Once she placed Granbull back into her Ball, her friends all walked up to her.
"Blue good job." Ash said with a smile.
"Thank you Ash, but I couldn't done it without the aid of my Pokemon." said Blue nonchalantly.
As the five heroes, Pikachu, ChuChu, and Latias returned to Kurt, they noticed many of the Slowpoke coming up to them.
"Looks like the Slowpoke are grateful." Kyle said happily.
"The Slowpoke and the town owns you for your help. Thank you very much." Kurt said.
"No problem, Mr. Kurt. How's the back?" Kiley asked.
"Feeling much better. Now let's return to town, I bet your friends are worried about you." Kurt added.
Ash and his friends nodded as they exited the slowpoke Well, with all the Town owned Slowpoke along with them.
Once back to town, Ash gave the town and the others a blow by blow commentary of what happened in the Union Cave. The raven haired teen was proud of his new friends and Blue, who really showed Team Rocket who's boss. Although Ash didn't battle and so did Yellow, they made sure their friends got all the credit; because that's what is called Even Stevens. The town was once again grateful for Ash's friends help once more. As the sun was about to set, Bugsy, the Azalea Gym Leader asked Blue for a battle.
"You sure about it Bugsy?" Blue asked him, still unsure if he really meant it.
"Oh course. Call it my own thank you present. Is that okay Ash?" Bugsy said, looking to Ash.
"None taken, I think Blue deserves this for stopping Proton and Team Rocket. Right everyone?"
"Right!" the heroes, Kyle and Kiley agreed.
"Well when you put it that way, then I accept your challenge tomorrow" Blue replied.
"Good, well I see everyone tomorrow, bye!" and the Gym Leader took off. As they watched Bugsy disappear from view, the heroes and their new friends look to Kurt.
"So Kurt, have you finally crack the mystery of the GS Ball?" Ash asked him.
"Why yes and its a most interesting story. After your friend's gym battle, swing by my place I will tell you my discovery." said Kurt.
"Gotcha!" The Kanto trio said as the heroes and their new friends had headed to the Pokemon Center to spend the night. When nighttime came, everyone was taking showers, getting ready for bed, (or in some people's case, having nighttime meals) and making sure everything was ready for tomorrow. But one Dexholders was just came out of a shower, dress and ready for bed. Yellow removed her straw hat and ponytail, letting her blond hair down, but something caught her eye. When she stared into the inside of her hat, something was missing from it and it was important.
"Holy Mortres, The wings are missing!"
