Unova Region Part 4
Once Lillie greets Throh and Sawk, two of the new team members, they then head straight into the Inner Area, where trees are everywhere as well as Rocket Grunts.
"Man, the giant tree is still there." Ash says.
"Yeah, I remember once we sleep on top of it with Burgh." Cilan says.
"Sleep on top of the tree?" Thrister asks.
"Yeah...and it is the place where I bonded my Leavanny..." Ash says.
Once they step further, Ash has Leavanny and Rebelboss out for the upcoming Team Rocket Grunts. The others also do the same as they attack.
Leavanny uses the String Shot to tie up all the grunts they capture so Ash can capture them with the Human balls, and then Rebelboss uses Thief to take their weapons so they are unarmed and easy for Lillie to capture.
"You won't be passing here." They turn around and see Burgh, who is under control. Alder says, "Burgh? Is that you?"
Colress says, "It seems like since Castelia City is the base, the gym leader has been assigned to be here instead of the city..."
Ash says, "Then I'll fight him."
Ash sends out Offigirl to battle Crustle. Offigirl fires Fairy Wind, but Protect stall the attack. Crustle charges with X-Scissor, but Offigirl dodges by using Quick Attack. Then Crustle shoots Rock Wrecker, which sends her into the tree. Before Crustle can use X-Scissor to finish it, the Attract immediately stops it and a Dazzling Gleam ends the Pokemon.
Burgh sends out Scolipede next, Ash says, "If that's the case. Sei-"
"Wait, let me battle!" A Scolipede comes forward and stops in front of Ash.
"A Scolipede?" Grimsley asks, "Where did it come from?"
Ash asks, "Are you the Scolipede that we met in the Castelia Sewers?"
It nods and says, "I am willing to fight by your side."
"Okay," Ash says. "I trust you."
Scolipede fires Poison Sting onto Burgh's, but it shreds it. Both Pokemon use Stream Roller to crash each other, but then a Rollout defeats Burgh's.
"Thank you for your help." Ash says as he nods. Then Ash captures the Pokemon.
"So his final Pokemon is Leavanny..." Caitlin says as they see Burgh sends out the last Pokemon.
Before Ash can call out his Pokemon, this time two Whimsicott appears. One says, "Let me battle."
"Now you have two Whimsicott to help you?" Minami asks.
"I remember those Whimsicotts." Ash says. "I once help him find his true mate. I see you both evolve."
They nod as the male stares at Leavanny while the Female goes to Lillie.
Leavanny is a tough challenge as it uses String Shot and Energy Ball to attack Whimsicott, but Whimsicott uses Cotton Spore to lower its speed and uses Solar Beam to finish it off.
"Now it is our chance!" Ash says as he places the Insect Badges on Burgh. "Respond to the badges and come back to us!"
Burgh glows as the badge is absorbing the darkness inside him. Dawn says, "So it is working?"
"I guess so." Dr. Colress says.
Once the glow fades, Burgh is now wearing his causal clothes and lies on the ground. Insey rushes up to him and shakes him. "Burgh, are you okay?"
Burgh slowly wakes up and sits up, he says, "Aww...what just happened..."
"Thank godness that you are awake." Ash says.
"You are...Ash, right?" Burgh asks.
"I am glad that you still remember me." Ash says.
"Of course, you and your Leavanny were the ones who give me such an inspiration." Burgh turns around and sees many people. Professor Juniper and Alder rushes up to hin and Alder asks, "Burgh, are you fine now?"
"Huh? Mr. Alder?" Burgh says. "By the way, what happened?"
They fill him up with everything, Burgh sighs and says, "I see. To get my city back, I'll help you."
"Thank you." Alder says.
"Now we should quickly defeat the Rocket Grunts so we can get to the Skyarrow Bridge." Mark says as they nod. With Burgh's help, they get out the forest fast, and on the way, Lillie has captured a Lilligant since everyone encourages her due to the name.
At the Skyarrow Bridge, they get a boat and Reisa helps navigating it to the Asperia City.
"So we are going to conquer Asperia City first?" Paris asks.
"Yes. I need to get the Basic Badge and Toxic Badge to the two gyms." Ash says.
While on the sea, Ash and Lillie manage to fish out two different Basculins, and they own the Pokemon.
When they arrive at Asperia City, they are quite frown at the sight of black clouds and the rocket grunts.
"We should go fight Cheren and return him to normal." Ash says. "I'll leave the others to you."
The others nod as they go spread out to the Route 19, 20. Ash, Lillie and Professor Juniper get into the Pokemon School to find Cheren there.
Cheren, who is being controlled, he sends out Watchog first. Ash sends out Cleanrol. Cleanrol uses Leer to make Watchog lower his attack, then using Collision Clash to hit him. Watchog uses Hyper Fang, which has hurt Cleanrol. Cleanrol uses Hydro Pump to defeat him.
The second Pokemon is Stoutland, so Ash sends out Combeat. Combeat uses Note Attack, which creates notes to hit Stoutland. Stoutland uses Thunder Fang, but Combeat uses Force Palm to block the attack. And Stoutland is defeated by Focus Blast.
Ash places the Basic Badges on Cheren. "Respond to the badges and come back to us!"
Cheren glows as the badge is absorbing the darkness inside him. Once the glow fades, Cheren is now wearing his causal clothes and lies on the ground. Lillie rushes up to him and shakes him. "Cheren, are you okay?"
Cheren holds his head and says, "What just happened..."
Professor Junior says, "I am glad that you are fine."
"Professor?" Cheren asks, "I didn't know you are here, what happened?"
Ash and Lillie explain everything to him, he says, "So they even control my students as well. Alright, I'll help you."
"That is great." Ash says.
With Cheren's help, they get past the Route 19 to Floccesy Town. There, Dawn, Naomi, Area, Geo, Shadow and Helen are just helping Alder defeat the Grunts.
"I see my house is still fine." Alder sighs, "But Banga..."
Dawn says, "Don't worry, Alder, once we defeat the Rockets, we will save him."
Aera says, "Yeah, let's go to the next place."
At the Floccesy Ranch, Gladion and Emily, Amo, Tox, Frost, Konomi and Reisa are helping Jane and Paris to defeat the grunts there, Serena, Bonnie, Luke, Surch, Nora, Dracy, Bolver are with the Former Team Plasma Leaders to defeat the Rockets in the Virbank Complex. Cilan, David, Terry, Pina, Wendy and Ben are helping Grimsley and Catlin to clear the Pokestar Studios.
Ash and the others meet up with his siblings are at the Virbank City, they go to the gym, where Roxie and her band is at.
Once they get there, they see three people there, which Ash know very well.
"So they are the Gym Leaders?" Golly asks.
"The middle one, Roxie is one, I had a hard time defeating her since it was a 3 on 6 battle." Ash says.
Roxie sends out Weezing, whose speed is fast. Ash sends out Punchnake, trying to use the guts. Weezing has showed speed and uses Gyro Ball, but Punchnake defeats it when using Fire Punch
Roxie sends out Scolipede. Ash sends out Riodash next. Riodash has the invisibility that helps him use Phantom Force and the Shadow Ball effectively. Causing Scolipede to faint. But it has caught with a Poison Sting.
"Here, Ash! Take this!" Cheren throws a Pecha Berry to him. Ash thanks him and gives Riodash the berry, then he sends out Copimap while Garbodor is the last. With the Gunk Shot, Copimap is poisoned, but Copimap manages to have a Nasty Plot and uses Beat Up. Due to having a lot of Pokemon, Beat Up defeats Garbodor.
Once the other 2 band members are captured, Ash places the Toxic Badges on Roxie. "Respond to the badges and come back to us!"
Roxie glows as the badge is absorbing the darkness inside him. Once the glow fades, Roxie is now wearing his causal clothes and lies on the ground.
"Roxie, are you okay?" Golly shakes her as she slowly awakes.
"Huh? What am I doing..." Roxie says, "Where is Nicky and Billy Jo?"
Ash says, "You guys are under Team Rocket's control, we saved you, but the other two aren't fortunate."
They explain about the whole details to her, she says, "I see. So if we defeat Team Rocket, the whole Unova can return back to normal. I'll help you out."
"Thanks." Ash says.
When the big group gathers once more, Grimsley says, "I see you two are fine as well."
"Grimsley? Catlin? Alder? You guys are here?" Cheren asks.
"We escaped before Team Rocket can control us." Catlin says.
"I see..." Roxie says.
"So now there are 4 out of 10 Gyms are saved." Ash says as he looks at the sky, "Now it is the central Unova left..."
"We should go to the Dessert Resort, since going to Castelia City now is a suicidal move." Trenor says.
"I see..." Burgh says with a little frown. He really wanted to have his gym and his masterpieces back.
They get on the ship and arrive at the Dessert Resort. There, Ash and his friends meet up with three Darmanitans.
"Darmanitan...wait, I remember you guys." Ash says. "Aren't you the ones who try to save the clock tower from collapse?"
"Yes. And we want to help you finish the threat." Darmanitan says.
"Sure." Ash says as he captures the three Pokemon.
And then using Krookodile, he digs a lot of holes to make Team Rocket fall, and then Lillie also befriends a Maractus and capture it, it also uses Pin Missiles to defeat some Grunts.
At the Castelia base, Max and the others are reporting to Professor Oak. He says, "They created Pokeballs that captures Humans?"
"Yes, Professor. So far our forces from the outer lands have been captured." Max says.
"Do you have any instructions?" Professor Oak asks.
"That is the strange part, when we finally got one, they immediately vanishes." Georgia says.
"It seems like they have thought about us getting them..." Professor Oak says. "Whatever you do, guard the place as best as you can."
"Yes." The 5 people says as they end the call.
Professor Oak is sitting in the room, he looks at the file on the table and says, "Soon, the progress will be starting."
Here is a new chapter, three Gym Leader battles in a row, and I hope you enjoy it. And as you can see, Ash has got the Scolipede, Whomsicott and Darmanitan that he befriended before in the team in this chapter. I hope you'll get excited for the next chapter.
