note- Thank u marth and I will keep that in mind from now on.

Back to chapter-

*Back to present-
Ash-"I had lot of adventures with pokemons and after training and travelling for 7 years I challenged diantha and her ellites. Goodshow and scott helped me to arrange an official match for the title of champion of kalos and after I defeated her I became the champion of kalos and then I just started improving my region as much as I was able to and I found a lot of friends".

Dawn-"Wow u sure seems to have lot of fun and I know about your so called life taking adventures with pokemons".

Ash-"you always know things like that best Pokémon coordinator dawn" And they continued talking like that catching up with eachothers for hours. After sometime door opened and came in the ex-rocket gang.

Dawn first didn't recognized them but when she did she took out her pokeball and as she was about to throw it ash hold her hand and asked her to relax. Ash moved forward and bumped his fist with each of them confusing dawn even more. Seeing confused dawn ash began to explain about them.

*Flashback 12 years back-
Jessie, James and meowth were sitting at the table eating lunch when suddenly door opened reveling a hooded trainer. Seeing this Jessie, james took out their pokemons and meowth was ready to attack when hooded trainer took off his hat.
Ash-"Relax guys its just me".
Seeing It was none other than ash they got back to normal.
Jessie-"If you continued doing things like that we will pass out early". Ash asked for sorry and soon all of them burst out laughing.
*flashback-
Team Rocket had watched the kalos League and saw what Ash had done.
"Man the twerp is really strong now." Said meowth who was happy for Ash because he was made that far in the tournament. "Yes I must agree with Meowth on this one Jessie," James said in response to Meowth comment. "Well I think we can still nab Pikachu and get out of here." Retorted an angry Jessie. "Jessie what is the point. We always lose, maybe its time we quit and do something else, you know. Maybe you me and Meowth can go on a journey, like the twerps," suggested a nervous looking James, expecting an outcry from Jessie. "James, your right. What have earned for ourselves. Nothing but a reputation as the worst members of Team Rocket," said a sad looking Jessie. "Jessie, James didn't mean it like that. What he meant was-" said Meowth before getting cut off. "Meowth, I understand, what he was saying. That was what I felt was what we were able to do, nothing, we did nothing expect help save the world with the twerp from time to time," stated Jessie who looked deep in thought. "Jessie Meowth, let's go through all the regions from Kanto like the twerp. We can train our pokemon and compete in leagues. Jessie you can compete in contest. What do you both say." Asked James looking hopeful. "You know what James, I agree with you why don't we do that. What do you say Meowth?" Asked Jessie looking at the cat. "I'll go back to Kanto but I think I should maybe try to become a proper Pokémon and hopefully get caught by a trainer." Said meowth looking at the ground.

"Why don't you come with us, we can work together," asked James looking sad due to Meowths words."No I'm going be extra load for you two. There isn't a point in arguing I made up my mind so lets go back to Kanto." Replied Meowth with tears in his eyes. After that they continued travelling after jhoto league where james came in top 4 and suggested by jhoto proffesor he decided to became a official researcher as he saw that he has more knowledge about pokemons rather than fighting but continued to fight as a trainer as a hobby whereas Jessie decided to become a full time Pokémon performer after losing in hoeen contest in top 2 and became one of the best fashion icon in the world. James asked ivi for assisting her to which she just nodded even impressed by his knowledge and so james was busy working as a assistant researcher to proffesor ivi in orange islands and Jessie was busy in sinnoh with her Pokémon performances as after kalos it was sinnoh which began Pokémon performer competition and Jessie was the first winner of the competition so she became a popular face in sinnoh. Meowth continued travelling training himself for 3 years and helping different pokemons. After some years they meet at kalos region as james was there to assist kalos professor in his mega evolution as ivi have nothing new to teach so he has sent an application to kalos professor to which he accepted after seeing his work, Jessie was there for her new tournament and meowth came there just as a tourist. After a reunion meowth decided to help james with his research as he miss being with them although he continued travelling. Jessie decided to open a big fashion shop as she saw that kalos is the best when it comes to fashion. Jessie decided to go with them as long as she have time.
They met with professor at his lab and allowed james to keep meowth with him and Jessie to as long as she is here. After working for few days james became his head assistant and one day while james and meowth were working on a new machine and Jessie was just watching them they saw a mysterious hooded man with a familiar Pikachu on his shoulder looking for professor instantly knowing that who he was.
Long time no see twerp- said ex team rocket looking at him.
Seeing a talking meowth ash knew who they were so he just replied them with a hello. They started sharing each other experience. They were not even a slightest surprised when they heard that ash became champion of kalos but were surprised and angered, sad to hear what his friends told was surprised by them and soon they became friends. After that he helped Jessie with her performance, james with his research and making him the second professor in kalos and helped meowth with his training.
*Flashback ends*

"I never thought you guys can leave team rocket but I guess I should be happy for you guys" told dawn to which they thanked her.
"So ash, you know team rocket is planning something evil in this tournament with their scientists so be careful", said Jessie.
"Don't worry you guys I will take care of things", told ash casually like nothing happened at all to which rocket sighed knowing his carefree attitude.
Dawn-"Shouldn't you be more careful ash".
Ash-"Ya,I know but let relax guys. We Cannot do anything right now as we don't know much about there plan and anyway you all should rest as you all must be tired while I go for a walk and dawn you can use my room if you would like for night and moreover I have a match in morning". And they all nodded and ash went for a walk leaving dawn behind who was surprised to see a changed ash. She saw a calculating man in place of her old hyperactive friend.
"You have changed a lot, ash but when it comes to your friend or heart you will always be same", thought dawn.
James-"We should also go to our room, dawn".

Dawn started when she saw ring on Jessie finger, dawn-"Hey are you two married"?
Jessie-"Yes, James proposed me 2 years back and I accepted".
Dawn smiled knowing that two of them were always meant to be. All of them said there goodbye for night and went to their room.
meanwhile when ash was walking on road he felt a strong aura even stronger than him.

Ash-"so you have come my enemy. I guess you should come from shadow". From shadows a mysterious person came running toward ash holding a aura sphere to which ash formed his own running toward him to counter his attack.
