The plot of this chapter was meant to be added into the previous one and end it.


At Mt. Coronet...


When the S.R.S. captain deactivated his radio after speaking with the others who found Ash, Brock, who heard a small bit of the speech spoke to the guy.

"Excuse me, sir. I couldn't help but overhear that you said you found my friend Ash Ketchum. Is this true?

"Yes."

"Great! So they're flying back right now?"

The man said "Not exactly. We've arranged for your friend Sabrina to teleport them all back. Go get her, please."

Brock nodded and ran to find the psychic. Along the way, he slammed into May and Tracey who were getting water bottles.

"Brock, something wrong?" Tracey asked the breeder.

"Nope. But I got good news! They found Ash and Pikachu! I was told to find Sabrina to get them back. Where is she?"

May's heart leapt with sudden excitement and all depressing thoughts she carried vanished in an instant. How Ash survived out there was miraculous. She had loads of things to ask Brock but she set them aside and gave him the info he craved.

"She's with the professors and Delia." May pointed in the direction and Brock said his thanks and was off but May stopped him.

"Don't bother. I gave her a walkie-talkie earlier. I'll bring her myself."

"Okay. I'll find and help the professors and Delia anyway." He took off.

Tracey looked at May with a bright smile on his face. "His mom's gonna freakin' flip when she hears this!"

"I know! I'm just so glad to hear Ash's alive!" May squealed.

Tracey's smile toned down a bit. "You say it like you have some interest in Ash, May."

May stared and was trying to fight back a tiny blush on her face. "W-what -ar-are -y-you talking about, Tracey?"

"You like him, don't you?" He teased playfully.

"My only 'interest' is seeing Ash alive and back with us. Nothing else." May half-lied.

"You don't have to lie to me, May. I can tell you have a thing for him just by the way you're speaking and that little blush you're getting."

May wanted to continue her deception attempt, but since the pokemon watcher was catching on to her ploy, what was the point?

"Alright, you got me. I have a tiny crush on Ash Ketchum!" she confessed.

Tracey folded his arms. "A tiny crush?"

"Fine a big one. And I believe he has one for me, too." May said, her blush rising.

Normally, when one spills his or her guts about their romantic feelings for someone, they faced taunting and laughing, but for Tracey Sketchit, he locked it away. Not only was this out of respect for his friends, but he remembered his first crush long ago. He couldn't place the name but he never stopped loving this girl since and hoped he saw her again, that is, if she didn't wind up dead from the draconians.

"Okay, May. If that's what you and Ash want when he returns, go right ahead. You'll get no teasing from me. Maybe from your brother..."

"Thanks Tracey." She gave him a friends-only hug and wandered off.

She took out the radio that connected with the one she gave Sabrina and turned it on and pressed the "Talk" button.

"Sabrina, can you hear me? It's me, May." she said to it.

A sound was heard followed by the psychic's voice. "Yes, I'm here. What do you want?"

"They found Ash and Pikachu and... Team Rocket." she said that last statement with a cold tone.

"Really? That's super! Did they find out where he's at?"

"I don't know, but they should. Brock's the one who heard them but he didn't say either. The S.R.S. captain is calling for you, so go ahead. I need to check on my brother anyway."

Alright, I'm on my way." said Sabrina and deactivated her radio with May doing the same.

Moments later, she suddenly appeared right in front of the captain. "I heard you found Ash Ketchum, sir."

"Indeed. They're located in Huin City of the Isshu Region but you've got to hurry because there's three draconians fighting in that same city!" he told her.

Sabrina gasped a bit and closed her eyes to focus her power.

She stood as still as a tree, trying to get a lock on to the kid who helped set her free years ago.

"C'mon..." she whispered. "Almost...almost...almost...CONFIRMED!" After shouting that, she opened her eyes and they began to glow yellow and her hair moved as if blown by wind.

Then a bright flash emerged and just like that, she was gone.


I'm getting so close to the last fight, I can almost taste it...
