"Charmeleon, are you ok?" Zach desperately called out to his pokemon. "Charmeleon is unab-" just as the referee was about to make the decision,

"Char – meleon!" said rising to it's feet. "Charmeleon are you ok?" Zach called out to his pokemon, who just nodded.

"Charmeleon looks like it's in bad condition, you should throw in the towel Zach!" Tiff called out to her friend, seeing the condition Charmeleon was in.

Zach looked worriedly at his pokemon, he wanted to win this battle but if Charmeleon wasn't up to it, he'd call him back, he wasn't going to put his gym battle before his own pokemon.

"Hey, Charmeleon, you up to it? I can always use Marshtomp." Zach said to his pokemon. But Charmeleon refused, and shook it's head no.

"You wanna keep fighting?" Zach asked his pokemon with awe and thankfulness, for it's loyalty.

"Charmeleon!" it roared as it readied itself. Zach turned back to Brawley, "Ok, we're ready to keep going." Zach said smirking.

"Zach, don't get too confident, you'll only end up hurting Charmeleon!" Tiff called out, seeing the determined expression on Zach's face. This hit Zach like a thunderbolt. 'I'm causing more pain for Charmeleon, cuz I'm getting such a big head!' he mentally scolded himself,

FLASHBACK…

"Mom, when can I get my own pokemon?" the young Zach asked his mom. "When you're older." His mom turned smiling to him. "When I get my own pokemon, I'll be the greatest trainer ever, like daddy and you mom." Zach said lifting his hand in a fist and punching the air. Misty smiled at her son, she reminded her of her husband so much.

"Well, just make sure you don't end up getting a big head like your dad and become over confident. Because when you're overconfident you end up not thinking straight, and that means the mistakes you make fall to your pokemon. Got it?" she asked sternly.

"Yea mom" Zach said nodding his head.

"That's why I like water pokemon so much, becuase they can easily adapt to their surroundings

END OF FLASHBACK…

'That's right, almost forgot about what mom told me about getting a big head.' Zach thought to himself. "Charmeleon, I'm sorry I'm being such a big headed jerk, c'mon, let's show them what we're made of!" Zach said pounding his fist into the air.

"Charmeleon!" it said shooting fire from it's mouth. "Well, we'll see if you've got it in you." Brawly said smiling.

"Hariyama! Use your focus punch!" Brawly ordered.

"Charmeleon, doge it and use iron tail!" Zach ordered, his pokemon obediently following, doing it's moves gracefully, and landing a direct hit on Hariyama.

"Hariyama!" it yelled as it was forced back.

"Hariyama use your armthrust!" Brawly ordered, and Haryiama got a direct hit, Charmeleon was no match for the sheer power of the move and was flung against the wall once again.

"Charmeleon!" it yelled in rage after getting up, and suddenly began to glow. "Oh, wow, Charmeleon is evolving!" Tiff pointed out.

"Evolving?" Kim and Tori asked in unison.

"Charizard!" the newly evolved pokemon roared, shaking everything.

"Wow a Charizard!" Kim said as she took out her pokedex.

"Charizard, you evolved!" Zach yelled happily. "Char!" it roared acknowledging it's happiness.

"Ok, Charizard, fly into the air!" Zach ordered his pokemon, wanting to use every new advantage that came with his new Charizard.

Charizard flew into the sky. "Charizard use Ariel Ace!" Zach orderd.

"Does Charizard even know Ariel Ace?" Tori wondered.

"We'll see." Tiff said, knowing never to underestimate those two.

"CHARIZARD!!!" it screamed as it charged at the large pokemon in front of it, and then disappeared and reappeared landing a direct hit with it's powerful attack.

"Hariyama!" Hariyama said as it fell to the ground fainted.

"Hariyama is unable to battle, Brawly is out of usable pokemon, the winner of this battle is Charizard and Zach." The referee announced blowing his whistle sharply.

"Alright Charizard, me and you did it together!!" Zach said, running from his position and going to give Charizard a hug.

"Zach, I'd like to give you this badge." Brawly said, going over to Zach and Charizard.

"Alright, my second gym badge!" He said posing with it and Charizard breathing fire from behind him.

Zach, Kim, Tori and Tiff left the gym to go and catch the next ferry that would take them to Zopari town. Along the way, Kim caught a Medichamp, and the four kept at their way to the ferry. They soon arrived at the dock, but had just missed the ferry, and Zach and Kim began arguing.

"If we hadn't stopped to let you catch that Medichamp, we could have gotten here a lot faster!" Zach yelled to the brunette standing across from him. "Well if you didn't complain and drag along behind us, we wouldn't have to stop to wait for you every second and we could've gotten here a lot faster!" Kim shot back.

"Welcome!" a very high pitched voice came, bringing the attention of the four to a woman with long red hair in a sailor outfit and glasses. Next to her was a man with light blue hair wearing the same outfit.

"Oh, how lucky you are, for one day and one day only, we'll be giving a free ride to Zopari town!" the man said coming over and pushing the four into the very old and unsafe looking boat.

"Uh….thanks…" Tiff said sweatdropping. "Don't you guys look familiar?" Tori asked suspiciously.

"I don't think I've ever seen you…" the man stuttered while sweat dropping.

"Any ways…please enjoy your stay." The lady said coming back with a drink, "here you go, have some refreshments!" she said as she held out the drink towards Kim, "Uh thank you." Kim muttered, but as she was holding Squirt right then, she couldn't get the drink.

"Let me hold your Squirtle for you." The man said coming in and taking Squirt from Kim. "What a cute Squirtle." The lady said, her glasses having a glare on them making her look shady.

"Thanks for your help, we would've been in trouble if you hadn't come along." Zach said smiling.

"Trouble?" the girl said twitching.

"Yeah, double trouble seeing as how we'd have to wait until tomorrow for the next ferry." Kim smiled taking a sip from her drink.

"Double trouble?" the man said twitching.

"That's right!" Zach said smiling.

"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!" the girl said as she took off her clothes, to reveal her Team Rocket outfit, it was Stacy and Brad did the same thing.

"Team Rocket!" the four said in unison. "That's right, so prepare for trouble!" Stacy said,

"And prepare for trouble!" Brad called out holding Squirt who seemed a bit confused.

"We bring Chaos and Destruction"

"To inflict pain and cause frustration,"

"Stacy!"

"Brad!"

"Where ever there is peace and joy in the universe"

"We're there to make everything worse!"

"And Meowz that's right!" Meowz said over the loud speaker.

"Give me back my Squirt!" Kim yelled as she pointed to Team Rocket.

"No, you handed it over to me!" Stacy said as she took Squirt into her own hands.

"Oh yea? Squirt! Use bite!" Kim ordered, and Squirt took a bite out of Stacy's hand, due to pain, Stacy released the pokemon, and it ran into Kim's arms.

"Why'd you let it go?" Meowz screamed as he appeared on deck.

"Squirt use water gun!" Kim ordered and it did.

"AHHH!" Team Rocket screamed as it got blasted with the water.

"Team Rocket is blasting off again!!!!" they disappeared into the sky. "Hey you guys," the three turned to Tori,

"Who's driving the boat?" he asked and everyone ran to the steering wheel. Luckily they were close to Zopari town and was able to dock the boat safely.
