Alright at long last our heroes make it to Phenac City and discover something sinister and something of mild interest

to Rdrtrandom dude: I knew that would come up someday but as you've noticed Ash hasn't used his Pokedex since chapter 2 I seriously think that's for the younger viewers or like me sometimes the sake of doing it and I'm glad you found the battle CD's thing with Barry funny thanks for the review!

I own nothing except the stuff I made up


When is a man Justy?!

Trip sighed as he glanced at his member ship card. Like a few others it was given to him for free. Trip however could care less about about what was exclusive to members. On top of that he had challenged the Realgam tower before coming here. Yet the lady insisted in quite an intimidating manner. So back he went. "One millionth visitor to Phenac, why does that sound like a load of-"

"AHHHH GET OUT OF MY WAY!" he looked up to see a blur of yellow green and orange rush at him at blinding speed Trip blanched.

"AHHH!" BANG both Barry and Trip crashed into each other.

"Barry!" Ash shouted as he and the others raced up to them. The Caravan could only go so far without being docked. And had suddenly been called from the base in Phenac to head to Pyrite meaning they had to walk again. "It's Trip!"He added in surprise.

"Are you two alright?" Michael asked Barry jumped up as soon as Michael finished.

"Alright I'm gonna fine you. For not getting out of my way," Barry barked. "Pay up in ten seconds, Nine, eight, seven-"

Trip got to his feet with his own glare. "You're the one who slammed into me!"

"You're the one who didn't move!" Barry shouted.

"Maybe you should learn how to run properly! Basic stuff!" Trip shouted back.

"Don't you and Barry have this argument when he crashes into you?" Tai asked with an arched eyebrow.

Ash sweat-dropped, "Déjà vu."

"You weren't on your way to the Regalam tower were you?" Max asked.

"Yeah why?" Trip asked.

"The entire thing a lie!" Barry shouted. "She's just telling that to people so they won't go into Phenac City. And those Battle CD's stink too!"

Everyone sweat dropped. "Just because you stink at them doesn't mean they stink," Rosa deadpanned.

"Why would she do that?" Trip asked not getting where this was going.

"We'll explain later Trip but for now we've gotta go." Ash stated as they ran off Barry following. And Trip against all better judgment followed as well.

XD XD XD

Team Rocket peeked into the West Enterance of Phenac they smirked. "No Psycho so in we go!" Jessie stated as they crept in they looked around. "Hmm," she hummed noticing the townsfolk all walking around. One guy was running around with a Duskull following. It seemed a little forced and too peaceful. "It's perfect….to perfect. Shouldn't Cipher be attacking the city?"

"What if they already have? And replaced the citizens with members from Cipher?" James suggested.

"Ya mean like that body snatcher movie?" Meowth asked.

"Doesn't matter, our little trip to the Realgam Tower yesterday gave us some insight. Such as Justy being the most powerful and popular Trainer in town. So if Cipher does have a hold on the city we can get 'Justy' to lead a revolution can't we?" Jessie suggested.

"Oooh I get it! And maybe we can snag a few Pokémon for the boss while we're stopping Cipher too," James smirked.

"I like Justy already!" Meowth added, smirking like the Cheshire cat.

POP "Wobbuffet!"

XD XD XD

The group saw the lady from before lean against the wall. Michael made several signs. Basically saying to press against the other wall. While she was leaning against that one. "What's with all the hand gestures just spit it out!" Barry stated causing Michael to faced-palm.

"Just follow my lead." He muttered pressing against the wall Eevee on his shoulder. Ash followed with Pikachu. Then Tai and Rio, Rosa, Max, Trip. And Barry getting it did so as well. Once they felt safe enough and made it past the gate they made a mad Dash at the Pokémon center. But they all came to a screeching halt when they saw the lady from before smiling 'Sweetly.'

"Watch out." Tai hissed, nervously.

"Didn't you go to the Realgam Tower?" She asked.

"It was lovely, now let us go wherever we want!" Michael snapped.

"Vuii vee!" Eevee stated, nervously.

"You're one of the bad guys aren't you?" Trip suddenly asked they all turned at him. "Come on it's so obvious. Why else would you send everyone to the Realgam tower and refuse to let anyone in the city?"

The lady's face turned to one of disdain. "You brats were supposed to be disposed of at the Realgam Tower! What are those elemental losers doing?!"

"You are with Cipher!" Michael shouted, angrily.

"I knew you were evil!" Tai snapped as she pulled off her disguise.

"You brats should've stayed happily entertained at the Regalam tower, Poochyena Scyther!" she shouted calling out the two Pokémon.

"Thanks to your stupid Detour I caught a Pokémon. Just perfect for this match! Not to mention we have to more trainers with us, go Geon!" Tai shouted coming out of the Pokeball was his newly caught Trapinch who looked around then focused intensely on it's foes.

"Vanillish! Go!" Trip shouted releasing his Pokémon.

"Vanillish?" Tai asked Max pulled out his Pokedex and scanned it.

"Vanillish the Icy Snow Pokémon and the evolved form of Vanillite: Snowy Mountains are the habitat of this Pokémon. It is said that during the Ice Age they moved to southern areas. It can conceal itself by creating many small ice particles and hiding in them."

"Alright Geon use Crunch!" Tai commanded.

"TRAAA!"He shotued rushing forward with his mouth wide open.

"Poochyena counter with ice fang!" The Peon shouted.

"CHEAAAA!" Poochyena charged with freezing fangs.

"Vanillish use Protect!" Trip shouted.

"Vaaan!" a green shield appeared as it suddenly flew in front of the Trapinch. Though blocking Geon's crunch it protected the ground type from the super effective Ice type move.

"Protect?" Tai asked.

"Come on you still don't know the basics? Protect is a move that blocks your opponents moves." Trip stated.

"I know that." Trip asked then glanced at Ash then back at him then smirked. But I guess you'd be a bit slow on the uptake looking back on how you screwed yourself over with Solar Power." Tai glared growling ready to pounce.

"Tai focus!" Ash shouted sensing Tai's anger the younger raven snarled clenching fist.

"Someday but not today!" he snarled under his breath. A vein pulsing on his fist and head as he vowed revenge! "Geon use Bulldoze!" Tai shouted.

"TRAAAAA PINCH!" he cried and with a powerful shaky rush. Slammed into Poochyena knocking it into Scyther.

"Vanillish use Icicle Spear!" Trip shouted.

"VANNNN ILL!" he called as large spears of ice appeared around it. And were sent flying at and slammed into both Scyther and Poochyena. Who then went flying into the Peon knocking her down.

"Now use Ice beam!" Trip shouted.

"VAANNNNNN ILLLLLISHHHH!" From it's mouth came a crackly icy stream of power. The blue beam struck them freezing them.

"Geon hidden power!" Tai commanded.

"TRAAAP!"he called opening his mouth and letting the attack fly. The orb of power slammed into them causing an explosion. Which broke the ice and sent all three flying away. They screamed and cried as they disappeared with a ding.

"ALRIGHT," Tai shouted congratulating Geon while Trip recalled Vanillish.

"Not bad for a Kanto trainer." He remarked.

"I'm sorry what?!" Tai snapped glaring as Trip went off. He stomped after him as the group headed deeper into the city. They quickly found the Pokémon center empty and the shop closed.

"Hey even shops need a holiday right! ha ha ha ha ha!" the clerk had said, to them.

"So what are we supposed to do if we can't heal our Pokémon?" Barry asked as they climbed a set of steps to an upper level of the city.

"Until we figure out what's wrong. I guess we can't." Max sighed.

"Hello" said someone behind them, "rough day?"

"Yeah especially when we have to spend it with an egomaniac." Tai muttered getting glares from Trip, Barry and Ash to which he pointed at Trip.

"ME?!" he snapped.

"Hey Cyle" Ash muttered then it hit them, "CYLE!" he snapped surprised and spinning around so fast it made Pikachu a bit dizzy.

"Ack! Pikachu! are you okay?!" He cried.

"Moan if you're alive." Tai called.

"Chaaaaa." he sighed managing to regain his barrings. Soon the group found themselves in a house it belonged to a friend of his who lived in Pyrite.

"Well hello there Cyle." Said a man with grey hair and a sweat shirt and tan pants.

"Ahh Chand good to see you" Cyle replied.

"Are they you're grand kids?" Chand asked, the entire group blanched.

NO WE'RE NOT!" they shouted together.

"They're travelers, I happen to run into them now and again Ash here seems to be incredibly shy though. That or he's got a skeleton in his closet." Cyle replied,

"Oh right..." Ash muttered looking down at the ground. He hung his head so much that a dark cloud appeared over his head.

"Ash you don't have to tell if you don't want to." Tai pointed out,

Yes I do!" he snapped from the corner of woe. "Cyle I'm sorry I really did steal that Poochyena and Ledyba! It's just that at the time they were very, very dangerous Pokemon. We need to help them because they were sick! I'm sorry."

"I see.." Cyle replied frowning which weirded everyone out a little. He always seemed so cheerful. "I need to process this."

"I understand." Ash muttered hanging his head with a shame drop.

"Hey Chand was it? I don't suppose if you know where Mayor Escade is? Or perhaps his office?" Michael asked.

"Well he happens to do his work from his house. Strange though he hasn't come out yet. He usually strolls around at this time when not tending to affairs. Sometimes he'll watch the coliseum matches. I wonder if he's on vacation." Chand remarked before looking worried. "Catherina hasn't come back from her errands yet. Very strange." Chand replied sadly.

"When did she leave?" Tai asked.

"Today, but I'm still worried." Chand replied.

"We'll keep an eye out for her. For now it's imperative we get to Mayor Escade." Michael replied, Rosa suddenly spotted something that made her squee.

"Rhumba of love! I've been dying to listen to this CD!" she squealed, holding it in her hand.

"I'll be outside!" Tai shouted rushing for the door. Ash sweat dropped as Rosa glared at the spot.

"I won it in a raffle. But it's not in mine or Catherina's tastes. Why don't you keep it?" Chand stated Rosa screamed happily in response.

"Thank you thank you!" she shouted. Soon after the group gathered outside.

"So where to?" Tai asked,

"The Mayor's house and office are on the other side of town. Right next to the western entrance according to Chand." Michael replied.

"Then let's get going." Barry stated only for Max to grab him.

"Hold it we need to be careful! If we found one Cipher Peon in the town. Then chances are, they are a bunch more." Max warned as Barry struggled he glared at Max once he was let go.

"He has a point." Trip replied as he leaned against the wall.

"Right so, unfortunately until we get this matter resolved, we need to assume that everyone in town. Barring us, Chand and Cyle are not to be trusted." Michael added.

"Right," the group replied the quickly made their way across town. It wasn't easy but eventually they made it to the Mayor's office. Tai gasped in fear then ran with Rio following and hid. When someone came out of it the group looked over to coming out was none other than Nascour.

"Enjoying the sights? I know you're all there." Nascour replied effectively creeping everyone including Trip out he smirked and left. "Aura 001 I hope to see you again soon." He replied walking out. Ash felt a cold chill rush up and down his spine like a Pachirisu was using Spark on it he looked at Tai.

"Yeah...he knows." Tai hissed. Rio whined in fear as he pressed against Tai's leg.

"Man who was that creepy dude and why was he wearing a dress?" Barry asked.

"It was a grass skirt which he was wearing like a duster. But good choice of words. That certainly didn't make him any less creepy." Trip replied.

"I just hope, I never see him again after Cipher's dealt with and I leave Orre." Tai replied,

"Rai ahh!" Rio agreed.

"Anyway he's gone now. He left town so you won't see him again for a while. Remember we have to get to Escade." Michael replied.

"Assuming he hasn't been replaced." Rosa added.

"Right." Michael replied, he hung his head solemnly.

"Veee." Eevee added her ears drooping.

The group quickly rushed into the house. To see a girl with a polka-dot skirt and white shirt and blue hoop earrings that matched the former. "Man house sitting is such a bore." She sighed.

"Isn't it," Tai piped to get them noticed.

"Listen the Mayor's gone today. Why don't you kids come back say three weeks from now?" She replied.

"Three weeks he's a mayor he can't be out for three weeks straight!" Barry stated, the lady sighed.

"Don't shoot the messenger." she stated defensively then slumped. "Man…so bored," she muttered under her breath.

Rosa mused for a minute then pulled out her CD. "Do you like Rhumba of love?"

"Is a Pikachu yellow?!" she stated excitedly snatching it away and placing it into the stereo.

"Yeah," Rosa muttered she knew she'd never get that CD back. Happily excited, the lady popped it in and began to dance as Rhumba of love came on.

"Uhhg that's a song?!" Tai asked he had a look of disdain which he shared with the other boys of the group.

"Come on while she's distracted!" Michael stated heading for the stairs the group followed.

"You're all acting like we're gonna find the Mayor tied up in his room." Trip said, to that Max shrugged.

"Maybe." He replied as they went up there was no one tied up but the room looked messy. "Escade sure left a mess."

"Doesn't he have people for this?" Tai asked, kicking away a small can.

"You're thinking of a King. King's have people to do stuff for them not Mayors." Barry stated, as Michael spotted something.

"This looks suspicious." He replied,

"A crumpled piece of paper?" Ash asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Pika?" Pikachu asked.

"Let's see," Michael muttered un-crumpling it. "A letter from Escade!"

"What's it say?" Barry asked as the group gathered round.

"Uh well, Justy there is bad trouble brewing. Of all places our beloved jewel Phenac seems to have become the target of a sinister organization. It would seem as though these crooks are secretly taking the places of prominent members of our community! If something's not done the entire city will be taken over without anyone noticing what's happened! Justy I must turn to you for help we need your abilities to overcome this crisis facing our city! You as the leader of the Prestige Precept Center should be able to do something! It may be too late however I already feel threatened by-"

"Well what else is there?" Barry asked.

"Nothing the letter cuts off." Michael stated,before sighing. "Meaning Cipher has already got to him."

"That would explain the mess. But how did Cipher get to him, if he figured out what was happening?" Ash asked.

"Maybe someone close to him got replaced. Or maybe Cipher just busted in here, and knowing how hammy some of the members can get." Tai replied as he imagined Escade suddenly attacked.

"WHOOAAAAAAAAHHH WE ARE CIPHER NINJA CIPHBUSHO!"

"AHHHHHHH!" Escade screamed like a girl.

"Ciphbusho?" Rosa asked.

"Evil ninja code!" Tai declared simply. "A warped version of Bushido or something like that." Tai replied as-matter-of-factly.

"I knew you shouldn't have watched that ninja movie." Ash sighed his eyes half circles.

"That Bushido thing sounds like it came from Beyond the Dragon falls." Max mused.

"Beyond the Dragon falls I love that movie!" Barry stated, stars in his eyes.

"We can worry about movies later! We've got to get this to Justy!" Michael stated.

"Right!" the others agreed they raced down the stairs. When they got to the bottom they saw that the girl had invited what appeared to be one of her friends in.

"I thought you were house sitting!" Rosa stated, as the two turned the lady spotted something in Michael's left hand.

"Hello guy what you got there?" She asked but Eevee growled as Michael stepped back.

"Nothing, now if you excuse us we need to get to the Pre-Gym." He stated, warily.

"Vuii Vee!" Eevee growled.

"You're not gonna stop us if that's what your hoping!" Tai growled as Rio got in front of him Pikachu jumped down in front of Ash his cheeks sparking.

"Too bad!" her friend said as the two whipped off their disguises to reveal that they were members of Cipher.

"Go Snorunt!" the girl Exinn shouted.

"Go Pineco!" the guy Gonrag shouted, the two pokemon appeared looking very aggressive. With a look of blood lust in their eyes Michael's aura reader activated.

"Shadow Pokémon!" he stated.

"How can you tell?" Trip asked.

"There's an invisible aura that only the aura reader can show Michael. As for me this Kanto trainer from the boonies just so happens to have the ability to see it himself!" Tai boasted whatever he was planning back fired however Trip merely gave him a look.

Ash glared,"speak louder Tai. I don't think they heard you in Space," he growled. "That's not something I want you spreading around like that!"

"Pineco use Shadow Blitz!" Gonrag shouted.

"Snorunt use Shadow wave!" Exinn shouted. Snorunt unleashed a powerful shadowy wave. While Pineco started flying towards Pikachu and Rio. But Ash and Tai we're quick to counter.

"Rio dodge it!" Tai commanded,

"Spin and use Thunder boltl!" Ash shouted. Rio jumped away from Pineco as Pikachu charged the thunder bolt. As he spun the Thunder bolt became a cage of light protecting Rio and Pikachu and dispersing the Shadow wave. Pineco was caught in the waves of Electricity that not only stopped it's attack but zapped it and knocked it back towards it's trainer.

"Rio, Aura Sphere!" Tai shouted. Rio gathering the sphere rushed forward as fast as he could at Snorunt. But Pineco slammed into him causing the Aura sphere to fly off after Ash who took off screaming.

"Pika Pi!" Pikachu shouted rushing after him in hopes of smacking the Aura Sphere away from him.

"Uhhhhhh," Tai muttered before smiling sheepishly sweat-dropping. The two peons smirked however Michael quickly joined.

"Go Vulpix!" he shouted, throwing the pokeball.

"VULLLLL!" the Pokémon snarled and rushed towards Pineco. Ramming it with Shadow Rush and knocking it back.

"Rio Sky upper cut on Snorunt!" Tai shouted.

"RAAAA RII!" he shouted rushing forward. His arm thrusting in a curve and bam! Rio placed a powerful Sky upper cut on Snorunt's chin sending it into the air. meanwhile Pikachu jumped up with his iron tail and smacked the aura sphere before it could hit Ash however, the Aura sphere rushed right back at them.

"AAHHHH/PIKA!" Aura exploded all over them leaving them smoking.

Back in the battle Tai and Michael, were chipping away at the Shadow Pokemon. So far thought the battle was a stalemate. "Vulpix use Heatwave!" Michael shouted,

"VULLLLLL!" the attack rushed forward spinning and sweeping it's tail. A blazing wave of fire surged at Pineco and Snorunt. It quickly engulfed them with fire and sent them flying back.

"It'll take more than that to stop us!" Exxin growled.

"How about this!?" Shouted Ash returning from the Aura sphere. "Pikachu use thunder bolt!" Pikachu jumped up high with a cry.

"PIKAAAAA CHUUUUUU!" the attack surged out struck hard zapping them both. Pineco was out but Snorunt managed to stand and use Shadow Blitz on Pikachu. knocking him back Pikachu got up but before Ash could react Tai had jumped in.

"Rio Aura Sphere once more!" Tai shouted.

"RRRRR RAAAIII!" Rio shouted holding the blue orb. Which slammed on Snorunt's head.

"SNOOOOO ruunnnnnt." With a cry Snorunt was down and out.

"Snag balls go!" Ash and Michael shouted together. The two pokeballs after being thrown, hit their respective targets. And the balls began to shake. Everyone stared as they shook. However the balls signified capture and warped away to the HQ Lab.

"What this isn't possible!" Exinn shouted she pulled out another pokeball but Gonrag stopped her.

"Relax, I think those kids will just be wasting their time delivering that to Justy." He smirked.

Exinn smiled glaring at the kids. "Ya know what you're absolutely right." they ran away laughing leaving some bewildered kids.

"What do they mean by that?" Trip asked.

"I don't know let's just get to the Prestige Precept Center." Michael replied as he rushed out the others quickly hustled after him.

XD XD XD

James came out wearing Justy's outfit. And a purple wig to give the impression he was Justy. Jessie was dressed as one of his teachers hair colored a slightly lighter shade tied up in a large semi beehive style and wearing a scientist outfit.

"Alright Meowth are we ready?" Jessie asked.

"Like nobody's business!" the Meowth replied disguised as a regular Meowth. He sat down and smiled as Jessie and James began. However little did they know that this was seen by a Pidove with a camera on it's neck.

The man with Frankenstein bride like hair growled slamming his fist on the table. "How did they escape I want them captured now!"

Upon this walking out of the Pre gym were several Justy's. "We are all Justy we are, we are people look up to us for we are….." They symbol of the Pregym shined behind them, "THE JUSTY GANG!"

"Sound off!" Said the leader. They began to trill off their number.

"Six."

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One, that's it that's perfect!" Said the leader as the other five turned to him. "When we all look this much alike even I your own brother can't tell us apart. Everyone knows why we're here? To capture Justy and Pregym's teacher and confound any enemies that stumble here! Once we've captured them we will deflect any attention away from the Pregym! If this plan works we'll be in line for an Admin promotion…maybe. Brothers may you take your orders with pride and diligence let's go!"

XD XD XD

"So it's in the Center of the City?" Ash asked as they rushed forward.

"Right!" Michael replied as they turned left down a road."We follow this path until we hit it you'll know it when you see it!" Michael replied as they rushed forward however a man with a Mightyena and the boy running around the fountain came up to them.

"What's the rush guys?" he asked,

"Yeah if you're looking for the Pregym right now its closed." The boy said.

"What you're kidding of all the rotten luck!" Barry groaned.

"Barry they're part of Cipher!" Ash stated.

"Oh right!" Barry stated before glaring at them. "You will not get me!"

"Tch our covers been blown already?" The man with the Mightyena asked as the two whipped off their disguises. Duskull and Mightyena growled jumping in front of their trainers.

"Empoleon let's go!" Barry shouted releasing his Pokémon.

"Okay Growlithe you're on!" Max shouted.

POP! "Empol/Growl!" they shouted together as they materalized.

"Duskull Shadow Ball!" the peon Forgs commanded.

"Mightyena use bite!" Fenton commanded.

Mightyena roared rushing forward his mouth opened to snap at Empoleon.

"DUSSSSS KULL!" the shadow ball rushed forward. Growlithe being it's intended Target.

"Use Flamethrower Growlithe!" Max shouted, to counter.

"GROOWWWLLL!" the flames collided with the Shadow ball making it explode. Max took the opportunity to have Growlithe use wild charge causing him to collide with Duskull, who groaned in pain. Meanwhile Mightyena snarled as it was within feet of the Sinnoh Water starter.

"Dodge it Empoleon!" Barry shouted.

"EMPOL!" Empoleon jumped into the air dodging the attack.

"Now use Steel Wing!" he shouted,

"POLLLLEOON!"He shouted the edges of his wings glowing. He folded them in a cross them brought them both against Mightyena in a powerful swing. With a cry the Dark type was sent flying into the ground. But it got back up.

"Use Night Shade Duskull!" Forgs commanded.

"Go Dark Pulse!" Fenton shouted the two attacks combined into a large shadowy wave and hit Empoleon and Growlithe in a powerful inky blast. The two fell to the ground.

"Growlithe!" Max gasped.

"Empoleon are you okay?!" Barry shouted, the two pokemon got up and glared. The two peons ordered Thunder fang and Shadow Ball. Mightyena rushed at Empoleon while Shadow Ball whizzed towards Growlithe.

"Dodge it!" Max and Barry shouted together. Growlithe and Empoleon effortlessy got out of the way of the Thunder fang and Shadow Ball respectively.

"Okay use Flamethrower!" Max shouted.

"Empoleon use Hydro Cannon!" Barry commanded the two reared their mouths open and launched the attacks. They suddenly combined into a white ball with fire rings,

"Whoa the fusion of Fire and Water!" Ash stated, in awe.

"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed,

"You've seen that before?" Tai asked.

"Raai?" Rio added.

"Yeah it's powerful..." Ash muttered seeing the battle as over.

As he predicted the attack hit exploding a burst of steam and sent the two Peons and their Pokémon flying. "Well they're gone." Trip muttered, as they dinged in the sky.

"We need to keep going. The Pre-Gym isn't much further away." Michael stated. They nodded and ran with him still towards the center of the city. Rosa however suddenly saw something off in the corner. She rushed after it quickly finding a couple of ladies in the corner.

"How did they escape?!" one with a Shiny Seviper asked.

"You're acting like it's my fault!? All I know is not only did Justy and one of his associates escape, but those Kids from the black list are in town." She saw Rosa out of the corner of her eye and turned with a snarl. "Speak of the devil."

"You're with Cipher aren't you?!" Rosa growled. However before she could react by sending out one of her Pokémon. Seviper suddenly used wrap to catch her and throw her towards it's trainer she was grabbed and Rosa quickly found her hands tied and tape slapped over her mouth.

"Perfect." The two hissed smirking at each other as Rosa struggled. Meanwhile Tai perked at something he looked around and saw Rosa was nowhere to be seen.

"Rosa?" he asked then rushed off Rio close behind.

"Tai," Max asked watching him run off. "Where are you going?" He rushed after the younger raven hoping to catch up with him.

XD XD XD

"Your Co-worker, your neighbor, your mother, your mattress. Even your own precious Pokemon partner could be Cipher in disguise! Replaced without a second thought! Our fair jewel of a city is under a silent but deadly attack folks but it's not too late! Join Justy's revolution and put a stop to this mind flipped insanity today!" Jessie called.

"MEOWTH!" Meowth called then sighed. "Yer own precious Pokemon partner and a Matress? As in da ting that lines your bed?" Meowth hissed with an eyebrow raised.

Jessie gave him a glazed glare, "I don't see you trying to get people's attention."

"I would've thought that we'd at least get some attention by now. This wig is getting itchy." James whined.

"Yeah well suck it up! We still need to get some people and Pokémon on our side." Jessie remarked. They suddenly heard a bell ring and rushed over to greet the 'recruits.'

"Welcome comrades!" Jessie and James stated then saw that there were six Justy's glaring at them.

"We don't know how you escaped. But you're going back where you belong!" they stated, together.

"Oh look at that all full a darn shame...BOOK IT!" Jessie half screeched they took off running. The six Justy's seeing an unusually uninteresting sight of a Meowth running on two legs.

"AHHHH!" they all screamed catching the twerps attention. They turned to see the disguised Team Rocket rush past them.

"That was Justy!" Michael stated then came the Justy gang. "Being chased…..by…an angry mob of Justys..." He muttered in disbelief, "WAIT WHAT?!" he yelled in disbelief.

"This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder." Trip muttered Ash and Barry nodding slowly in agreement. The group rushed after them following as fast as they could.

Team Rocket rushed up one side of Town with the Justy's hot on their trails and Ash and Co on theirs. "Run, Run away!" Team Rocket shouted.

"GET BACK HERE YOU TWERPS!" the Justy's shouted.

"How dare you call us Twerps!" Jessie shouted, back at them fangs barred.

"We trademarked that name for the Twerp and his friends!" James shouted.

"WOBBUFFET!"

"BACK IN THE BALL!" Jessie shouted recalling him.

"Wobbuffet," he sighed as he went back in.

"How is this even possible?!" Michael yelled as they raced by the fountain then back again.

"Either they're phonies in disguise. Or the universe is collapsing in on itself. And making weird things happen!" Barry stated,

"I doubt it's the second one!" Trip snapped as they raced by the Pokémon Center.

"We've got to stop them or we'll never catch them!" Ash shouted.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed,

"Go Serperior!" Trip shouted in a blaze of light the pokemon appeared. Ash gazed in awe seeing that his Servine had evolved. He scanned it with his pokedex.

"Serperior the Regal Pokemon: It can stop an opponents movements with a Glare! It only gives its all to opponents undeterred by it's powerful glare."

"Sounds like a really cool Pokemon..." Ash muttered in awe.

"Use Glare!" Trip commanded.

"Serrrrrrrr." he growled eyes glowing at the rushing group.

"Alright, that'll stop em!" Ash stated with a cheer. Ash was wrong however as it turned Team Rocket and Justy gang were among the few chosen to not be effected by a Serperior's glare. They watched as they all passed him making it sweat dropped.

"Well so much for that..." Michael muttered with a sweat drop.

"We're not through yet! Serperior use Energy ball!" Trip commanded, pointing at the group.

"SERRRR PERIOR!" the green ball of energy much larger then anything Spike ever mustered flew forward. It slammed into them knocking them all to the ground. Revealing not only a certain techo-color group but a familiar Trio as well.

"AH! Team Rocket!" Ash declared in surprise.

"Pipi kachu!" Pikachu shouted, Team Rocket stood up triumphantly as a pair of Roses shattered behind them.

"You've said our name like we knew you would." Jessie stated as red petals flew in front of her her head turned back.

"So here's our motto listen since you should!" James stated as Blue petals flew behind him he was in the same position as Jessie.

"A force that strikes fear in the hearts of the valiant" Jessie stated as she slashed her rose around.

"Snuffing out the light to bring forth the shadows" James declared as he too slashed his rose around and put into his mouth.

"You'll fear us for eternity!" Meowth stated as he slashed away at a yellow rose making petals fly.

Jessie spun around holding her rose before making a pose that flashed out, "Blazing destruction across the sky Jessie!"

"Thunderous strength that quakes the earth I am James!" he stated spinning with his rose as he took took a pose that slashed out.

Meowth jumped down his own image fanning out into copies like the others. "Wisdom deeper than the sea Meowth!"

"Remember this name TEAM ROCKET!" they declared as an R appeared behind them.

"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet declared as he popped out.

"Who's Team Rocket?" Trip asked.

"They're a bunch of bad guys who steal other people's Pokémon." Ash stated. "Although they get credit since they don't try to make the Pokemon they steal into Shadow Pokemon!"

"But they're overdue for paying the fines I gave them!" Barry added.

"Everyone's overdue for the fines you give them!" Jessie snapped.

"We've got bigger problems then finances!" Michael pointed as the Hexagon brothers got up, the TRio turned and yelped a little.

"Well it's seems we're all backed in the same corner." James stated.

"Truce?" Ash asked,

"Until we get past these losers." Jessie replied.

"Fine by us." Michael replied.

"Go Pikachu!" Ash commanded,

"Let's go Skarmory!" Barry shouted.

"Quagsire let's go!" Michael shouted.

Skarmory and Quagsire suddenly appeared from their pokeballs now Team Rocket's remained.

"SERRR!" the leaf blade hit Palpatoad hard sending him back towards Blusix. But he quickly bounced back.

"Use Ice beam!" Blusix shouted.

"PALPITOOO!"It roared opening it's mouth and the blue beam of ice rushed forward.

"Use Poison Tail to send it back!" Jessie shouted,

"Seviper!"he shouted slamming the attack. The Ice beam which was refracted into small beams suddenly had a new target Vileplume, which got frozen.

"Alright Skarmory use Icy Wind!" Barry shouted.

"Heh?!" Team Rocket asked.

"Skarmory can use Icy Wind?" Ash asked.

"SKARRRR!" the icy wind hit Vileplume while it was in the ice. It hit Palpitoad as well.

"Now use Steel wing!" Barry commanded.

"SKARRR!" he shouted rushing forward wings stiff and glowing as it crashed into the Ice block. Sending it sliding back towards Palpitoad who cried out in horror. The ice Slammed into it and into the wall were it was knocked out with Vileplume who was also laying their with X's in it's eyes.

"Quagsire use Surf!" Michael called.

"QAUG!" Quagsire summoned a wall of water. The Ally Pokemon managed to dodge. But the wave came crashing down on the six opposing Pokemon. Soaking them as they were washed out behind their trainers.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash commaned, Pikachu jumped high into the air.

"PIKAAAAA-CHUUUU!" the attack zapped all the Pokemon groaned and shrieked as they were electrocuted. After it ending Electrike was the only one standing as the rest were on the ground knocked out.

"Now use Dragon Tail Serperior!" Trip shouted.

"SERPPPPER!" It growled swinging a blue glowing Tail and slamming it into Electrike who went into the wall. Which broke a little on contact. Now stuck in a crater on the side of the wall it laid there with swirls in it's eyes. The Hexagon brothers screamed and recalled their Pokemon.

"Ahh man if we're all down for the count how are we gonna protect the Pregym?" Browsix moaned.

"The Pregym!?" Ash stated.

"We need to get there now!" Michael stated the others nodded and ran off.

"Now it's time to finish this!" Jesse declared. "Seviper use Veno Shock!"

"Carnivine use Bullet seed!" James commanded the two attacks launched from the maw's of their respective attackers and hit their targets hard. All of the Hexagon brothers were sent flying.

"OOOOH!" Jessie cheered, "blasting off people feels so good!"

"I know right!" James cheered as they held hands.

"And now for Pikachu." Jessie stated all three turned to find Ash and Co already gone.

"Huh where'd the twerps go!?" Meowth stated as they rushed around trying to find them.

"They were just here a second ago!" Jessie stated, but it was no use the twerps were gone.

"What's up, what's up?" Chatot asked.

"Tai's gone missing so has Rosa now that I think about it. Anyway I need you to find them."

So alongside the XY anime there is a new anime based directly on the games called Pokémon: The Origins which looks sick (Not in the usual sense but the slang sense) some of you may boo and hiss at me for this but I'm a little more excited for Pokémon XY then this right now only because I grew up with Ash's story so I hope to see a new longer trailer for that too both actually also there was a demo for Pokémon X and Y at the Pokemon game show where a Shiny Slyveon was spotted and get this it's inversed colored! Meaning pink eyes blue body! How cool is that

On one final note saw Crowing the Schalop King today and while I'm glad Oshawott didn't leave Ash….that just wasn't fair oh well the Heart wants what the heart wants also Red from Pokemon: The Origin picks Charmander for his starter CHARMANDER FTW
