Okay, Time for Team Rocket,

Sorry, I didn't know Melody's name is Melanie, for the sake of not confusing everyone, I'll stick with Melody.

No Long rant at beginning, I think this will be a short chapter, but who knows?

Alright, part two of the HIdden Village!

The Ground Dino

Now where did we leave in our last chapter...

Oh yes, our heroes were in the HIdden Village and had just witnessed an explosion, alright, onward to victory(and end of chapter)

The explosion had done considerable damage, the ground around it was torn up, the play structures destroyed, and many pokemon KO'd, it would have been manageable, if that was the only one, of course. Unfortunately, when have things gone Ash's way in this story(other than his extremely powerful pokemon and everything else).

Okay, so maybe a lot did go in Ash's favor, but not this time!

Multiple explosions rocked the village, on closer inspection, Ash could see Electrodes and Voltorbs using explosion and self-destructs. Multiple Team Rocket members charged into the fray pulling out pokeballs, Bulbasaur immediately leaped into action, his Vine Whips and Razor Leafs drove off a pair of Nidorinos harassing two Nidorans!

Brock also reacted pulling out a pokeball and calling out Onix, Geodude, and the Nosepass that his father had given him. Rock pokemon were always effective in fighting, especially since most were part ground and could take Normal and Electric attacks without trouble, and taking out Flying and Bug Types were a plus, especially since fire attacks didn't leave a scratch, unfortunately, this meant that they were extremely vulnerable to Fighting, Grass, and Water, the later two being very common.

Nosepass had to retreat from a trio of Victreebells. This was when Ash sprang into action, "Go Lucario!"

Lucario immediately sprang into action and using a well timed Ice Punch, decimated the lead Victreebell.

Misty also sprang into action, her Starmie and Staryu both packed a punch and took out an enemy Nidoking.

Giselle was not Idle, her Magmar, together with Lucario, KO'd the remaining Victreebell's.

Giselle's Electabuzz was also very lethal, it thunderbolted attacking Dewgongs and Cloysters, and of course, Salamence was taking out every flying pokemon that came remotely close to the village.

But the Rocket executive was not so easy.

Executive Romane had heard of his colleague's downfall to the trainer with a powerful Salamence, had taken the opportunity to battle Ash.

Ash brought out his only pokemon, a Rhyhorn that he had caught in Pewter City as his Rampardos was busy with Giselle's Cubone and Graveler, busy KO'ing any pokemon that came near.

Seeing Ash's Rhyhorn, Romane used a Fearow, that was immune to ground attacks.

"Rhyhorn, Take Down!"

Rhyhorn charged recklessly at Fearow, who took the damage, but was immediately KO'd.

"What!" Romane exclaimed, he didn't expect Rhyhorn to be so well trained.

"Your Rhyhorn's strength is most unusual, but my next pokemon will not nearly be as easy, Girafarig, it's your turn!

"Rhyhorn, start of with Horn Attack!" Ash cried,

Rhyhorn complied to his master's wishes and attacked Girafarig,

"Girafarig, dodge and Shadow Ball!"

Exactly that happened and Rhyhorn was blasted aside.

"Rhyhorn, get up and use Dig!"

Rhyhorn dug underground, Romane and Girafarig surveyed the area, trying to find the rhino like pokemon.

"Girafarig, Bite when Rhydon appears!"

Rhyhorn did appear, and slammed into Girafarig, knocking it aside, but Girafarig jumped back in and it's tail bit Rhyhorn viciously!

Rhyhorn roared in anger, it became vicious, in berserk, it used a horn attack and KO'd the giraffe like pokemon.

Then Rhyhorn's body began to change, it was shroud in white light until out of the light, came a Rhydon, and a very strong looking Rhydon it was.

Director Romane, out of pokemon, his partner Ninetails having already been beaten up by Rampardos and Graveler, ordered the general retreat.

Soon, all the Rockets had cleared out, Melody turned to Ash and Co gratefully, "Thank you for all your help Ash, if you and your friends hadn't been here, I would have surely been severely injured and all the pokemon I care for taken away, so I am deeply grateful to you and your pokemon!"

"Thank you Melody," Ash said with a smile, "It was our pleasure,"

Giselle emphasized this by giving Ash a hug, Misty scowled at this, although.

"But I have one last favor to ask of you Ash." Melody said, "Giselle, you too,"

"Sure!" The two of them said at the same time.

"Jynx, you owe me a soda!" Giselle said, Ash just stared at her blankly, "Oh never mind!" Giselle sighed, smacking Ash on his shoulder, "What was that for?" Ash complained, confused.

"For being you!" Giselle beamed, confusing Ash even more.

"I would like you two to take care of a pokemon each for me." Melody said.

"Who?" Ash and Giselle asked.

"The Bulbasaur that you guys first fought over, and a very adventurous Poochyena!" Melody answered, "Although I'm guessing Bulbasaur won't feel very comfortable going with you without a fight!"

"You bet I don't!" Bulbasaur said proudly, "You'll never best me, the strongest Bulbasaur you'll find anywhere!"

"Alright!" Ash yelled, while his friends looked on in amusement.

"Alright, for this battle, I'll use Rhydon!" Ash said proudly.

Misty finally broke, "You idiot! Rhydon is a ground type, Bulbasaur is a grass type, can't you see that you can't beat a grass type with a ground type?"

Ash smirked, "Yes, but type isn't everything, besides, Bulbasaur is part poison, so Rhydon also has the advantage!"

Misty quieted down after hearing that(will she ever learn?)

Bulbasaur, tired from the weird humans, launched a Razor Leaf at Rhydon, but Rhydon deflected it with his horn.

"Rhydon, Dig underground now!"

Rhydon complied and Bulbasaur looked around, then suddenly launched itself to the right, but that was exactly where Rhydon had decided to surface and the Rhino pokemon collided with the poor poison type, and Bulbasaur hit the ground hard, but unsteadily got up, but Ash wouldn't let up,

"Rhydon, Hyper Beam!"

A beam of hot energy collided with poor Bulbasaur and exploded to take out the opposing grass poison dual type.

Ash wasted no time throwing a pokeball and catching Bulbasaur.

"Alright... I caught a Bulbasaur!"

As he turned around he saw a small dark wolf like pokemon accept Giselle's pokeball and Giselle smile in satisfaction.

Then the group of friends(except for Misty, she's just a stalker for now) set out for the sight of their next adventure... onward to Cerulean!

Next time on... AKPM

"Alright I caught a..."

"Hang on ? I won't let you die,"

"Prepare for trouble!" (just kidding)

"Ivysaur!"

"Salamence, hurry up!"

"Pikachu, take that ? out with a Thunderbolt!"

"You have to listen to me and work together, or we're all dead!"

Sorry guys, won't update for a week, going to band camp, ,sorry again.
