Paul's POV

Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Azurill, and I were looking for both Mewtwo and Ranee. My heart was racing. Something was telling me that Ranee was in trouble. Ash turned to us and said, "I'm not getting anything from Mewtwo. I'm getting worried." Pikachu looked worried too and said, "Pikachu." Misty looked around and saw something. An Infernape coming our way.

Misty pointed towards it and said, "Ash isn't that you're Infernape?" Ash shook his head and Infernape ran over to me-worried. Azurill jumped out of Misty's arms and gave it a little hug. Infernape seemed to appreciate it and then it turned to me. It said, "Infernape! Infer, in fern!" I snapped. This was Ranee's Infernape! I got worried and asked it, "Where's Ranee, Infernape?" Infernape lead the way to where Ranee was. There, we saw Mewtwo-knocked out in a containment bubble, Team Rocket of Jessie, James, and Meowth in a cage, Ranee stunned in a corner, and a tall man, about in his late forties, short brown hair, cold brown eyes, and an orange suit on a balcony.

I snarled and asked the man, "Who are you?" Ash answered me-anger in his voice, "That's Giovanni-leader of Team Rocket." Giovanni smirked and said, "That's me and you must be Ash Ketchum, Misty Ketchum, and Paul Shinji." Misty looked mad too and asked, "How did you know who were we?" Pikachu's cheeks started to spark and Azurill looked really mad. I made a fist and said, "It doesn't matter how he knows that. All that matters is to free Mewtwo, Team Rocket, and Ranee." I started to go towards Ranee when she screamed in pain. The floor below her was electrifying her! The electricity stopped and Giovanni spoke, "Any of you take one step and you're friend gets zapped."

Ash snarled and then looked at me. He nodded and I nodded back. Misty knew what we were up to and slowly got a poke ball ready. Ash threw an Aura Sphere at the containment bubble holding Mewtwo-freeing it. Giovanni was surprised-which worked to our advantage. Ash got Mewtwo out and dragged it over to where we came in. Misty threw her poke ball releasing her Gyarados. "Gyarados, Hyper Beam!" Misty commanded. Gyarados got Team Rocket out of there cage while I ran over to Ranee. Just as I got there, Giovanni pressed a button electrifying us both. "Paul!" Ash and Misty screamed in unison. Ash threw an Aura Sphere at Giovanni-which destroyed his controls. Ranee got knocked out-while I was a little stunned. I grabbed her and carried her over to the others.

The fried controls were starting to cause a chain reaction. I looked at them and said, "We've got to get out of here before the whole place blows!" Ash turned to Misty and said, "Mist, get out of here while you can. Tell the others to get as fast as they can!" Misty was a little hesitant. She didn't want to leave us behind. "But, Ash!" She protested. Ash turned to Pikachu and said, "Pikachu, quick! Get Mist and Team Rocket out here!" Pikachu nodded with hesitation but the yellow mouse agreed, "Pika." Pikachu grabbed Azurill and Misty, Team Rocket, and Infernape went ahead. Ash dragged Mewtwo and I ran with Ranee in my arms. 'I'm not losing you again, Ranee. Just hang on.' I thought to myself.
