I don't own Pokemon or the idea of this story which I got from Captain Buggles. I just own my OCs.
TMs will exist in this universe but instead of replacing older moves I will just add to the list like TM02 is still Razor Wind but Headbutt is TM57. I will put a list of TMs in this universe on my profile and I'll just make the HMs TMs as well.
Successfully arriving at the Battle Dome, Ashley is flooded by many reporters and personnel. Scott pops out, saying to go to the press conference. A press conference takes place with various reporters questioning Ash about his upcoming battle in the Battle Dome. Meanwhile, Jessie and James are grooming the Frontier Brain, Dome Ace Tucker, and making battle preparations. Arriving at an inner platform within the Battle Dome, Ashley can easily see the battle platform from above. Jessie and James are doing their usual errands with serving the normal concessions and snacks.
The lights dim within the arena as a nearby screen illuminates displaying various information about Ash from Pallet Town. A giant plume of smoke and dust erupts in the arena as Ash makes his appearance. The arena then lightens with various colors of light as Tucker, the Frontier Brain, makes his appearance. Landing majestically atop the adjacent platform, the crowd goes hysterical. Seeing the Dome Ace of the Battle Dome for the first time gives Max and May thoughts of their father.
The battle about to take place, Tucker displays the coin for defeating him in this battle as he then sends out both Arcanine and Swampert in a veil of fire and water. This battle will be a double battle. Ashley analyzes Tucker's choice and then chooses to call upon Fearow and Kingler.
The battle quickly goes underway with Fearow launching into a devastating Aerial Ace towards Swampert. Arcanine then rushes towards Swampert and is thrust into the air reaching a high velocity and collides with Feaow knocking it backwards. Fearow recovers from the attack as Kingler attacks with an array of Bubble Beam. Swampert then jumps in front of Arcanine to shield themselves from the attack with Protect. Brock notes that both Pokémon support each other with Arcanine's Speed and Swampert's Defense.
Fearow goes for another attack flying around to reach a high speed with Arcanine running to achieve an equal speed and jumps into the air to defend against Fearow's Drill Run. The two attacks collide thrusting Fearow backwards and forcing Arcanine to the ground unable to stop himself from the fall. Kingler sees the opening and goes for the attack with Brick Break while Swampert launching a Mud Shot attack right behind Arcanine. Just before Arcanine and Kingler make contact, Arcanine dodges Swampert's attack with Kingler taking direct damage and slamming into the nearby wall.
Scott goes to explain that Tucker is known for his astonishing battle tactics while both May and Max are surprised. Tucker thanks Ash on his battle spirit and effort but Swampert quickly resumes the battle with a Water Gun. Both Fearow and Kingler dodge this attack with Kingler thrusting towards Swampert with a devastating Crabhammer. Swampert retaliates with a Dynamic Punch as both attacks collide in an explosion of light and color. Arcanine then dashes toward Swampert to perform another aerial attack. While Fearow comes forward for Drill Peck, Arcanine launches a strategic Flamethrower towards Fearow but the attack is avoided with Double Team. Arcanine then increases its fire power with Fire Blast, hitting Fearow. May comments that it's like watching a Contest Battle.
Meanwhile, Swampert is controlling the water from the air and shaping it with a Water Pulse attack. Fearow dodges Arcanine's first attack, Extreme Speed and launches towards Arcanine once more with the second attacks making contact creating a gigantic explosion. Kingler goes for an opening with Rock Smash as Swampert forces the nearby Water Pulse towards Fearow and Kingler which collides creating a structure formed of water and ice. Arcanine launches a devastating Fire Blast within the structure rotating around creating a fusion of fire and water, Tucker's greatest of tactics.
Both Fearow and Kingler are suspended within this structure as a gigantic explosion taking place between the two forces and both Pokémon are forced towards the ground. Both Pokémon revive with a fighting spirit greater than ever. Both Arcanine and Swampert launch a Flamethrower and Water Gun towards Fearow and Kingler. Both attacks are diverted by Kingler's Bubble Beam attack. Fearow then thrusts towards with Aerial Ace as Swampert uses Dynamic Punch, and just as Arcanine goes for the opening, Fearow dodges forcing Arcanine into Swampert for a direct hit. A giant plume of smoke and dust engulfs the arena. Arcanine launches another Fire Blast attack but this is again diverted by Kingler's Water Pulse attack. Visibility is lowered by a great amount of fog lingering within the arena.
Both Arcanine and Swampert are confused of Fearow's exact location and fly towards Kingler and Fearow. Just as both attacks are to make contact, Fearow floats to the left and flies from the bottom making a direct hit with Kingler's Rock Slide and Fearow's Aerial Ace. Both Arcanine and Swampert are now unable to continue after taking the hits, granting Ashley the win.
Most of the female crowd are disappointed with Tucker's loss as Tucker congratulates Ashley for her victory, with the crowd crying out wildly. He mentions that he's a top tactician. As Tucker congratulates Ashley, everyone begins to scream. Tucker thanks Ashley for the battle. As Tucker leaves, Ashley mentions that she forgot to give her the Tactics Symbol. Tucker points to the top of her hat as Ashley then pulls it from atop her head and happily displays her newly obtained Symbol.
A raging fire engulfs the surrounding forestry area, as Celebi flies overhead to seal the forest flame and stop the devastation. After a flashing light, the fire disperses with Celebi in a fatigued state. A tree begins to fall as Celebi uses the last of its power to travel forward to an unknown time. It uses its powers to sprout vines from the ground to protect itself.
A new day becomes of Ashley and her friends, as everyone is quite energetic. Walking down a nearby path, they arrive at a cycling road. The nearby Officer Jenny quickly diverts everyone to the nearby path around the cycling road. The cycling road was closed due to water filling the road. Pikachu's ears perk, as he dashes off into the nearby underbrush as Ashley heads towards Pikachu's location. Running through the forest path, Ashley and gang is quickly stopped by a Pokémon Ranger named Solana and her Plusle. Ashley tries to explain to her about Pikachu as she picks up her phone to call the Ranger Union. Everyone then starts giving the usual introductions and Brock enticing with his usual love techniques.
In the nearby forest, strange vines grow from underneath and atop the nearby cycling path. Pikachu begins navigating throughout the strange vines as Team Rocket has managed to become ensnared within the vines. Everyone struggles to release the vines' grip but is unable to release themselves from the prison. Walking along the path, Solana and Ashley come upon the strange vines. Solana notes that Celebi is nearby.
They group then sees several Pokémon. Solana scans them using her Styler. She then asks what she was doing. She replies that she's looking for a Pokémon that know Slash. Releasing the Capture Disc from her Styler, Solana begins rotating it in circles as the top begins to rotate around three nearby Linoone. A circle of light entices the Linoone as the pattern on the Ranger's device begins to change. Solana then asks Plusle to use Helping Hand. With a simple command, the Linoone then slash the vines and create a path for the group, as Brock explains what happens when a Ranger captures a Pokémon means to May.
Pikachu heads even deeper into the vines and jumps atop a platform to spot a heavily fatigued Celebi. Just as Celebi awakens to see Pikachu's face, Celebi falls back into a deep sleep. Meanwhile, Solana and Ashley are continuing down the path with the Linoone clearing the path ahead.
Pikachu attempts to offer Celebi some food as Celebi slowly begins to return to normal. Solana thanks the Linoone as she then scans for nearby Pokémon to help her. Diglett and Dugtrio then pop out so she captures them with her Styler. She then asks Plusle to use Helping Hand on the two Pokémon. With one quick order, the ground begins to shake, as the Diglett disperse into the soft ground. As the dust and smoke clears, a hole is revealed, with the gang heading underneath the ground.
Pikachu is now making strange faces trying to cheer Celebi up as a strange sound comes from the distance. Then appears the Diglett and Dugtrio as the Ranger rushes from beyond the distance. Pikachu is in a defensive stance but comes quickly to understand that the Ranger is friendly. With one quick sight of Pikachu, Ash dashes over with the welcomed sight of his comrade. Max shouts out with the sighting of Celebi with May looking up Celebi's data. They then ask for Celebi's trust. That night, a campfire is made as the Ranger begins to scan and diagnose Celebi's condition. Ashley decides to help by sending out her Celebi. The Sun begins to rise as Celebi's call can be heard from the distance as it flies overhead.
With a quick goodbye, Celebi makes his departure in one blinding light. It's a blast from the past, with Celebi meeting Ashley once more. Now with a newly revived spirit, Ashley and gang cycle off into the distance towards their next destination, Fuchsia City and the Battle Pike.
