Chapter 25: Back From Vacation?!

"Oh great...now what?" Max asked.

Ash had lead them to a three way intersection.

"First you'll prepare for trouble..."

"And you'll make it double..."

Lights flashed onto the famous trio Team Rocket. Only they happened to be wearing strange outfits. Jessie was in a grass skirt with a redish-purple top. James wore a hawaiian shirt with black swim trucks. Meowth had on a grass skirt with a lay around his neck.

"About time you three showed up." Max said, as the rocket theme music cut off.

"Well, we happened to be on vacation!" Jessie said.

"V-vacation?!" Brock exclaimed.

"Yah, in Hawaii." Meowth said, doing a little hula dance.

"Hew twerp, where's the twerpette?" James asked.

"Yah, your girfriend." Meowth said.

Jessie nudged the two and pointed to Ash, who's cap rim covered his eyes. Brock answered for him.

"She's been kidnapped by..."

"Thorn and Lily, ex-rockets. We know." Jessie said.

"How?! You were just joking around?!!" Ash said, shaking with anger.

"We want to help." James said.

The trio held up flashlights. Ash looked up smiling.

"Thanks guys."

Jessie smirked.

"No problem twerp. But this is just temporary. We'll be after Pikachu when this is all over."

Jessie and Ash clasped hands. The young master turned to face the guardian.

"Which way now Ash."
Ash nodded and closed and his.

"That leads to the kitchens." He said, pointing left.

"That's toward the courtyards." He said, pointing right.

His eyes flashed open.

"This way!" Ash said, running into the one in the middle, everyone right behind him

"This should lead to the grand hall in front of the throne room doors." Ash said.

He, Brock, and Lance pushed the door open.

"I don't think we're in the palace anymore." Max said.

Beautiful flowers lay around in a large wide-open meadow. What looked like a forest wasn't far away. A door stood about one hundred yards away. Ash ran to it, only to skid to a stop as the door flew up and over. Giggling went through the air.

"Sorry, my prince..."

A figure stepped out from behind one of the giant trees. Stairs appeared leading to the door as the figure stood in front of them.

"But you'll have to get past me first."

Ash's eyes widened.

"M-may??"

May giggled only to change into Lily. Ash lunged forward as Brock and Lance tried to contain him. Lily giggled again.

"What's wrong Ash? did you actually think you could see May that..."

"Shut up!"

"Easily. I mean come on!"

Ash got quiet.

"You are the Pokemon Master, my prince. You should know and understand why we're after the princess, so GET. OVER. IT. After all, she's nothing but a tool to use..."

Then Ash did something no one exspected his to do. Something inside snapped at those words. Lily went flying and landed with a skid, holding a bloody nose. Ash was still shaking with fury when he looked up at Lily, complete hatred in his eyes.

"Don't you EVER say that again. I love May with ALL MY HEART and I'll give my life for her."

He stood up straight and flexed his hand. Lily staggered up.

"Why you little brat..."

Ash smirked.

"Not even you OR your sister can stand in my way."

Ash rushed forward and to the steps. Before Lily coud catch him, Aurora clashed with her, daggers to daggers. Ash glanced back.

"Go Ash!" She said, pushing Lily back.

"We'll hold her back!" Lance said, releasing his Dragonite, who smirked at Lily.

"We got your back!" Brock said, releasing his mighty steel pokemon Steelix, who grinned at his trainer.

Ash smiled.

"Thanks guys."

With Pikachu on his shoulder, he began climing the steps toward the door.
