"But, how did this happen?"

"Yossi did it! He did the spell!" There are no words that can express my joy. Not for being out of Ash's mind. No, not that at all. But to be able to finally see Ash's face. I found it hard to believe… I pinched myself to make sure this wasn't a dream… nope, there is pain. I am not dreaming!

"Gary, why are you crying?" Ash asked. Crying? I lifted a hand to my cheek to find it wet… I am crying.

"Because I am so happy… to see your face again… to hold you in my arms again… I love you, Ash!" I said, but I immediately covered my mouth with my hands… I just told him that I loved him!

"G-Gary… is that true?" Ash asked. He seemed to find it hard to believe. I hesitated, removed my hands from my mouth and nodded, "Yes… it is all true."

I saw tears escape his eyes, and within a few moments, I was in Ash's arms once more, "Gary… you have no idea… how long I had waited to hear that… from you." Ash sniffed as he dug his face in my chest, he then looked up at me. His beautiful chocolate brown eyes met mine, "I love you too, Gary… I love you too!"

My tears were now coming down faster… He loves me back!

We kept hugging for what seemed like an eternity. Alex ran in, "I heard screaming is everything… Oh… I will leave you two alone now." Alex then ran out, obviously flustered.

I have never been so happy before in my life, having Ash in my arms with no complaints. Ash shifted to sit on my lap… how do I know this scene?

Ash smiled and started to move his face towards mine. I did the same. We were now only just centimeters apart… we can feel our warm breaths on our faces. Ash made the first move, and locked our lips together. Our lips fit perfectly!

My heart beat so hard that I could hear it in my ears, and I bet Ash could hear it too. I moved my hands that were on his lap to be around his waist. His hands wrapped themselves around my neck, to pull ourselves closer… deepening the kiss.

Ash pulled away, panting, "Wow, what a first kiss…" Ash said, bewildered.

"Yeah… wow." I agreed, also panting. We hugged each other once more before getting out of bed. Hand in hand, we walked through the hallway and into the living room. Which is where we found Yossi and Alex… they seemed to be… oddly worried.

"Is something the matter, Yossi?" asked Ash. Yossi looked up at Ash and I. He looked back down on his lap. Then a man in black with a red 'R' on his shirt stepped up, "You are coming with me."

(Narrator's POV) In Sinnoh…

Delia and Professor Oak met up with Dawn, Brock and the others. It was raining outside… almost as if the world is crying about the same thing that they were.

"Where could they possibly be?" May asked.

"I sent my troops all over Sinnoh. I let Kanto, Hoenn and Unova know about our issue. Their troops are searching their areas as well. But I have found nothing." Officer Jenny stated as she looked through her files.

This was one of the hardest kidnap cases she has ever been a part of. Not only was Ash kidnapped, but another boy named Gary Oak was kidnapped as well. From what Brock and Dawn have told her, a group of Pokémon thieves that call themselves 'Team Rocket' came up in their hot air balloon. They had a chamber connected to it in which Gary was held in, unconscious. Ash tried to free Gary but got caught himself. Team Rocket lifted off and Brock and Dawn quickly lost sight of them. Dawn described the hot air balloon to look like a Meowth, with a paw up as if it was about to scratch its next victim.

Brock also told her that the hot air balloons change, varying on the machines or gadgets they hooked up to it. Such as their 'Gliscore balloon' in which the pincers rushed out to grab an object, or in this case, a Pokémon. Another one was shaped like a foot ball. They even had a blimp once. Also a helicopter. And sometimes the balloon has no indication that it belongs to Team Rocket. They all have to be on their toes.

"I just hope they are ok." Professor Oak murmured, as he sat down next to Officer Jenny. Delia then thought of something…

"Hey, Dawn?"

"Yes, Mrs. Ketchum?"

"How big was the chamber?" This question hit everyone as a surprise, why would Delia want to know about that?

"Not that big, only big enough for one person. Ash was kind of squished in there."

Delia was now afraid, "Why do you ask?" asked Dawn.

"B-Because, Ash is claustrophobic. He can't stand tight, enclosed spaces."

(Gary's POV) In Unova…

I pushed Ash behind me, knowing full well what that guy wanted, "No! You won't have him!"

"Really now?" He teased as he threw one of the pokeballs from his belt, out came a large spider-like yellow creature.

"Galvantula, bite them both!" He ordered. The Galvantula moved at an incredible speed. I called out my Umbreon, "Umbreon, use shadow ball!" Umbreon unleashed a powerful shadow ball at the bug Pokémon. But Galvantula seemed to be unaffected by it.

"What?!" I asked in shock. It is now Ash's turn, "Go, Torterra!"

Torterra roared a mighty roar, "Torterra, use leaf storm!" it hit and it did an amazing amount of damage.

"Galvantula, use thunder shock on Torterra!" Galvantula did as it was told, but Torterra was unfazed to the attack… almost like it took no damage at all!

"What an amateur, Torterra may be a grass type, but it is also a ground type. And I think you know the rest."

"Grr, you little… Galvantula! Use thunder on Umbreon!"

"Torterra protect Umbreon!" Torterra stepped into the attack.

"Umbreon, jump above Torterra and use iron tail!" Umbreon jumped over the land turtle and its tail started to metalize, it hit the Galvantula with a lot of force. The Galvantula fainted. Ash and I recalled our Pokémon. We won the battle!

"No! Galvantula! Fine then, I guess I have to do this myself!" He rushed toward us. Ash grabbed my arm and started to unleash his aura once more. Just before the man was able to get a hold of me, lifted his arm, aimed his palm at the man and unleashed a powerful aura sphere. The man was sent flying and crashed through the broken door.

The man got up and looked at us. Obviously spooked, he turned around and ran. Unfortunately, the man forgot his Galvantula here to suffer its pains from the battle. Ash walked over to the harmed Galvantula. Galvantula gave an angry look at Ash, but it was immediately shriveled away when Ash used his aura to cover its wounds. Was Ash trying to heal it?

After a few moments, the Galvantula was able to stand and it stared at Ash, astonished as to why its enemy helped it.

"Galvantula, I understand that you think I am an enemy. But, enemy or friend, we should help each other. To gain peace in this world. It is because of trainers like yours who keep this world away from peace and love. If you want to go back with your trainer, I am not stopping you." Ash said as he stood up and walked to me. The Galvantula looked at Ash, then at the broken door that its trainer ran through. It started to walk to Ash and I. It looked at us with pleading eyes, shot its web at the forgotten pokeball and held it up to us. It wanted to be with us. Ash smiled, "Like I always say, the more the merrier!"

It looked like it was trying to smile, but instead it did a 'happy dance'. Ash took the pokeball and stuck it to his belt.

"Yossi, why was that man here?" asked Ash as he petted the spider Pokémon.

"He wanted to take you and Gary back to their head courters. Since they now know their secret Ash, they want to do tests on you. They think you're some sort of alien."

"I'm no alien."

"I know that, but… how did you do that? Are you a wizard of some sort?"

"No, nothing of the sort. I am what a lot of people call an Aura Guardian. I can use my aura to do many things, such as to attack, defend or to strengthen my stats."

"Wow, I have so many questions!"

"Ask away, Yossi."

"Do you level up, like Pokémon do?"

"Not exactly, but we do have levels of mastery. There is the rookie, Aura-Guardian-in-training, Aura Guardian and Aura Prince. There are many of Aura Guardians, but not many princes. I happen to be one of the Princes."

"WHAT! No way!" Alex exclaimed, "What can the Aura Prince do anyways?"

"They can do a lot, but they hold a lot of responsibility. They are the ones who keep law and order in our world. To keep our world in balance. We are the most powerful Aura Guardians known to man. Us princes also are the harmonic elements. Which are elements in which gives us our power. What we symbolize."

"And what are you?" I asked, I got into this conversation from the very beginning… it is quite interesting if you ask me, "I am judgement. I look within your souls, your auras, to tell if your evil or not. But from my studies, everyone has some evil within them. Most people equal it out with good. But people like Team Rocket are those people who lost the power to equalize or balance out good and evil."

"Almost like yin-yang." Yossi stated.

"Exactly like yin-yang."

This conversation about Ash kept going for what seemed like an eternity. But then Yossi said, "So, Gary. Are you happy with being outside his mind?"

"Yes, because I now get to see his… beautiful face once more." I said as I pulled Ash into my body and hugged him. I pulled back to give him a peck on the lips. Ash started to blush. Almost looking like a tomato. I chuckled, what a sight.

"I see you finally confessed you two!" Alex said. Both of us looked at him in shock.

"H-How did you know?"

"I could just tell. It was obvious."

"Really?" Ash asked, embarrassed. I blushed the same color as Ash and gave a sheepish laugh.

"What are you two going to do now?"

"Probably head back to Sinnoh. Knowing my friends, they must be worried sick." As if on cue, Ash's cell phone began to ring. He took it out of his pocket and read the caller name, "I-It's …my Mom."
