"Sir" a grunt said "We've found one scales" he handed his superior a big, green scale
"Good job" Douglas said "Now keep looking for more, we cannot loose it's trail" the grunt nodded and ran back to the cave he came out from "Soon, we will be in charge, we will rule this pathetic planet"
(Cue clip of M. Bison yelling "Of Course!")
"Hello, old friend" the Beast-tamer said
"Lewis, how did it go?" Douglas asked
"It went perfectly" Lewis said "They thought I wanted to take them, not the time nor place right old friend?"
"True" Doug answered "Their still too weak to be of any use"
"No worry, we'll know where ever they go" Lewis chuckled "They won't get away", suddenly a device in his pocket started to beep
"Are they moving?" Doug asked, Lewis nodded
"Let's me see..." he muttered, looking at the device "Their going to Cremini Town"
"Woah!" Ash screamed as he fell off of Max's shoulder "Ow, you make that look a lot easier than it really is Pikachu" he moaned, rubbing his arm
"Practise makes perfect Ash" Pikachu said, trying not burst out into laughter
"Yeah, Ashy-boy" Gary said
"Grrrr" Ash growled "Look Gary, if your gonna come with us your going to have to stop calling me that!"
"Okay" said Gary "Ashy-boy" he said as Ash turned around
"I heard that!" Ash screamed, running to Gary on all fours
"Oh no" Gary said, and started to run
"What going on?" Brock asked, turning and saw Ash chasing Gary (they didn't now that the Eevee was Gary) with Ash giving off a small static discharge
"Piika pi!" Ash yelled
"Veee!" Gary screamed in fear, meanwhile Pikachu was trying not to fall over from laughter
"Ash stop it!" May said sternly as Ash shocked Gary
"Pikaipichu!" Ash countered
"Ash, I've got NO idea what you just said" May said "Now leave that Eevee alone!"
"Pikaika" Ash grumbled as he stopped shocking Gary
"Ow, what the heck?" Gary asked
"If your call me that again I'll shock you even harder!" Ash threatened, Gary nodded nervously "Okay, let's get going" Ash said, jumping onto Max's shoulder as they kept walking to the next town, when suddenly a plume of black smoke appeared in front of them
"Prepare for trouble!"
"And make it double!"
"To protect the world from devastasion!"
"To unite the people within our nation!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!"
"Wobbu wobbufet!"
"Miime mime!"
"Team Rocket!" Ash, Pikachu & Nubtup yelled
"These three bozos are STILL chasing you?" Gary asked, perplexed
"Bozos!?" Meowth screamed "Grrrrr you've better watch your muzzle, Eevee!" he shrugged and pulled out a strange looking gun "Now, come to papa, Pikachu!" he snickered as he pulled the trigger, suddenly Ash and Pikachu were trapped in blue force fields and being pulled to Team Rocket
"What the... Let go of us!" Ash yelled, using Charge Beam to try to break the field
"Hey!" Brock screamed "Let go of them!"
"Make us hahahaha!" Jessie mocked
"Go Crobat!" Brock yelled, as the four winged bat pokemon popped out of the pokeball "Use Air Slash!"
"Cro!" Crobat said as his left wings glowed sky blue, he then swung them and two blades of visseble air flew towards Meowth
"Wobbufet, deflect it!" Jessie yelled
"Wobbufet!" Wobbufet screamd as he put himself in position and activeted it's Mirror Coat, the Air Slash bounced clean off Wobbufet and hit Crobat
"Crobat, return!" Brock said as he pinted his pokeball at his weakened pokemon. But when the beam hit it, Crobat didn't go back inside the pokeball
"Ummm, James?" Jessie asked
"Let me see..." James said, pulling out his Pokemon-Cards "Here we go, Wobbufet's ability Shadow Tag dosen't let the oponent switch pokemon"
"Perfect! Go Seviper!" Jessie said, as the snake popped out of it's pokeball
"Eeeep!" Ash said, involuntaraly cowering with fear "What's wrong, I thought Ashchu was the one with Seviper-Phobia"
"We're the same person, Ash" he heard a weak voice in his head, meaning Ashchu was terrefied "So we share emotions and feelings"
"So that's why I'm scared to death of Seviper?" Ash asked, trembeling
"Ash!" Pikachu yelled "What's wrong?" Ash was about to answer when they heard two voices
"Slugde Bomb!"
"Shadow Ball!" Ash and Pikachu looked and saw Nubtup & Gary, each holding a purple sphere, Gary threw his Shadow Ball to Seviper and Nubtup aimed for Meowth
"Yeoooowch!" Meowth screamed, dropping the gun, deactivating the gun and releasing Ash and Pikachu
"THUNDERBOLT!" Ash and Pikachu yelled, zapping Team Rocket and the gun
KABOOM!
"We're blasting off again!" Team Rocket yelled
"Wobbufet!" Wobbufet said
"Nice job, guys" Gary said but got no answers "Guys?" he looked around, Ash and Pikachu were no where nearby
"UP HERE!"
Gary and Nubtup looked up to the nearby tree, seeing Ash and Pikachu hanging onto a branch
"You mind calling out Swellow?" Ash called down, hoping Gary heard him
"Umm, hey Ash?" Pikachu said
"Yeah?"
"I saw you talking to yourself a few days ago, like you were asking yourself something" Pikachu said
"Well, umm" Ash said nervously "I've been keeping a secret from you"
"Really?" Pikachu said, surprised as his friends had never kept a secret before "What is it?"
"I literally have another me inside my head..." Ash said sheeply, he then looked at Pikachu, who's eyes were wide and his mouth slightly open
"Ooooooookay" Pikachu said "Did you hit your head when we landed on the tree?"
"I'm telling the truth, buddy"
"Prove it!" Pikachu said, unconvinced
"Alright" Ash said, closing his eyes, shaking for a minute. He then opened his eyes, witch looked a bit different a little more child-like and playfull
"Ash?" Pikachu asked
"Hi Pikachu!" he replied with a huge grin "But my name is Ashchu"
"Ashchu..." Pikachu repeated "Wait, your the 'Other Ash'?" Ashchu nodded happily
"Yeah, Ash told ya didn't he?" he asked
"Yeah, he did" Pikachu said "But how did..."
"Was I born?" Ashchu finished Pikachu's sentece "Well when Ash was turned in a pikachu by Lily, there was a small chance of the spell being permanent so, his mind created me"
"So, your Ash's pokemon side?" Pikachu asked confused, Ashchu nodded "So, can I please talk to Ash again?"
"Aww, alright" Ashchu said, dissapointed "See ya later, Pikachu!"
"Bye..uh.. Ashchu?" Pikachu said, still trying to accept the fact that his friend actually had a side off him more pokemon like. Ashchu closed his eyes and trembeled a bit and opened them again showing his normal, confidenced filled eyes
"So, do you belive me Pikachu?" he nodded "Thanks, but can you please not ell anybody about it? Gary would go crazy if he found out"
"I promise to keep it a secret" Pikachu said, turning around and pointing his tail at Ash
"Ummm, what are you doing?" Ash asked
"Pikachu make promises by sharing electricity through the tail" Pikachu informed him
"Oh, alright" Ash said, crossing his tail with Pikachu's and sending electricity through it "Hey Pikachu, I have a question"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"What's your name?" Ash asked
"Well... I... It's..." Pikachu stuttered, when he was interrupted
"Someone asked for rescue?" Swellow asked, finally showing up
"Swellow!" Pikachu said "I'll tell you later Ash, we better get down, I bet the others are worried" Ash nodded and got on Swellow's back
"Hey Swellow, what took you so long?" Ash asked the bird pokemon
"Well, Gary didn't now witch was my pokeball" Swellow said embarresed
Soon the gang was regrouped on the ground and were back on the road, but nearby on the trees there was a figure dressed in black with a mask
"Target located, sir" the figure said into a hidden communicator
"Good" said the voice of Doug "Now, get the data we need on the target, Shadow Maruader"
"Roger that!" the figure said, taking leaps from tree to tree, staying just behind the group "Soon, Ash Ketchum, soon I'll have my revenge"
