Chapter 12 Edge Lords appear.

Once they arrive at Pewter city, they finally can continue onto their next destination, which was? In fact, what was it? Sonic wonders where they're going? The trio was walking through a rocky mountain area with a few trees and some Rattatas running around but kept their distance from the group, namely from the large fire-lizard. Sonic asks where they're going, and Ash answers with,

"Cerulean City to face off against Misty for the second badge. I am excited to see her. Are you Pikachu?". Pikachu nodded in agreement, Pikachu did like Misty a lot, and he knew deep inside his trainer's thick skull, Ash has feelings for Misty. Sonic was confused about this until Charizard's memories kicked in, now he remembers Misty, the orange hair trainer. Sonic could not help but smile at the cute moments between the two trainers and saw hints of love between them. Sonic didn't want their relationship to end, like his relationship with Sally did. Sonic says to Ash.

"This girl is very special to you, Ash?" Sonic smiled, seeing Ash blushes ever so faintly before it fades away as a smile appears on the young trainer's face as he said to Sonic.

"Yes, she is Charizard- I mean sonic. Sorry, not use to that name still." Sonic said it was okay; he knew who he was talking about and said when they get there, he should spend some time with her before moving to the next gym. Ash agrees as they kept walking. Sonic's mind return to that form he entered when he and Ash synch together.

"We should train with my synchronize form." Both Ash and Pikachu were confused about what this Synchronize form? Sonic explains it that form when he and Ash synch up, and he transforms, hence the name. The trio thought about what they could do to improve the transformation or what is holding them back from using its full power? Pikachu says to both.

"Ash seems to get drain after using the form. But you were fine, Sonic." Sonic was physically stronger than Ash. Sonic thinks of exercising as the trio stops to do some training. Ash summons all the Pokemon on his person and assigns four of them to spar off with one another in pairs of two. Piplup vs. Pidgeot and Snivy vs. Sceptile. Pikachu training was to improve his speed and control while using Extremespeed since he still having trouble maintaining top speed for long periods. Snorlax's task is to learn Fire punch and maybe Thunder punch during this session, if Snorlax masters one of the punches, he will be awarded even more food next time he eats.

Piplup was improving his firing speed and accuracy with Bubblebeam as Pidgeot improve her aerial movement avoiding the bubbles. Snivy was having a Leaf Blade vs Night Slash duel with Sceptile to improve both their skills with those attacks and with their blades. Sonic had a light bulb go off as he faces Ash and said,

"Alright, Ash drop and give me 30." Sonic's command caught Ash off guard and he did it on instinct. though while doing it he asked Sonic why he was doing this and Sonic's response was,

"You need to build up your own Stamina and endurance." Ash had to agree since the one holding them back from using that form's true power was him, so he aims to do 50 push-ups, not just 30. Sonic was happy that Ash was aiming to surpass what Sonic asks him to do.

"Where did that doctor send me?" Shadow scans the forest but only saw trees. he looks at his hands, which have a metal spike on the back of his hand. Shadow saw his communication device and pick it up; he activates the chaos radar function of the device. Shadow was surprised to see many tiny points on the radar to show places or beings with a small amount of chaos energy.

Shadow doubts any of them be Sonic since he has a tremendous amount of chaos energy due to using the chaos emeralds so many times. Shadow widened the radius and saw a massive amount of Chaos energy in one spot and had a strong feeling that dot was most definitely Sonic.

Shadow decides to send a message through his communication device before heading off to check if it was Sonic or not.

"Base, this Shadow, I think I end up in the same universe as Sonic. Will Update when I confirm or debunk this. Over an out." ends the transmission and heads out following the dot where ever it might go.

After Ash collapses from doing 78 push-ups which Sonic was proud of the young trainer, and he was not the only one exhausted. Pikachu was fine though he needs a few minutes to regain his breath, Pidgeot and Sceptile were also trying to regain their breath. Piplup passed out on the floor, along with Snivy. Snorlax did master both punches, which impress Sonic and Ash.

Sonic walks over and picks him up and place Ash on his back, deciding to carry him as Sonic and Pikachu walk towards to Mt Moon, which was in the way towards Cerulean City. Sonic decides to ask Pikachu some questions to pass the time.

"What should we call that form I enter if Ash and I synch?" Pikachu thinks and starts to throw some names out."

"Super Charizard?" Sonic said he had a form called Super. Pikachu suggests hyper and second verse same as the first is what Sonic said. They kept throwing ideas until one came to Sonic's mind, and he let it escape his lips.

"What about Ash Charizard?" Pikachu likes it but was curious where Sonic came up with that for a name for the form? Sonic explains since it's a form made from Sonic's and Ash's bond, thus, thought Ash Charizard be a fitting name. Pikachu had to agree as silence fell on the two as Ash sleeps some more. Another question enters Sonic's mind, and it was about Ash and Misty.

"How did Ash meet Misty?" Pikachu gladly told Sonic the story. Pikachu explains how Ash stole her bike to get Pikachu to Vermillion City's Pokemon Center since Pikachu was in terrible shape at the time, along with running away from an angry flock of Spearows. Even though Pikachu electrocuted Ash, refuse to fight for him, Ash put himself in front of the Spearows. This act inspires Pikachu to unleash a Thunderbolt, which he hadn't master at the time, which causes him to drain all his electric power and was weaker than before. At the Vermillion Pokemon Center, they met, and she been following him because she wanted Ash to pay her back for destroying her bike, but Pikachu thinks over a while she grown to like Ash. Sonic smiles and said.

"Ash has a way of making strong bonds with anyone." Ash was starting to wake up. Once he was fully awake, he climbs off Sonic back, and thanks for carrying him. Sonic told Ash it was no big deal, and the trio was about to continue walking when.

"Halt kid, hand over all your goods." all three turn to see two team rocket members in all black. One had a Crobat out ready to attack while the other had a Machamp out holding a cage with a small black creature with red feathers and hook blades for hands. The Pokemon looked to be out cold when, in reality, it wasn't. It was pretending, so no one would pay it much mind inside its cage until it thinks of a way to escape.

"How about you drop the cage and walk away," Sonic said tapping into his Shadow voice he did so many times to annoy Shadow. Neither was worried, but more shock a Charizard was speaking English. The Crobat flew to attack Ash only to get smacked by Pikachu using Iron Tail, sending the bat Pokemon into his owner, knocking him on his ass. The other guy was annoyed and turned to his Machamp, said like a master to his slave and ordered.

"Beat them up Machamp." Machamp nodded, dropping the cage and crackings his knuckles and walk towards Sonic. Sonic walked up and said to the Machamp, not wanting to fight the fellow Pokemon.

"I would recommend you stand down- What Pokemon are you?" Sonic asks since he had no idea the name of this Pokemon. This piss the four-armed Pokemon as it delivered a punch straight to Sonic's Face causing him to stumbles back. Sonic caught both punches following that one he took to his face but got hit by a barrage of punches to the stomach. Sonic yelps in pain from each blow landing and bit down on one of the hands stopping Machamp's assault, making it step back, holding the bitten hand to make sure it's okay. The Machamp looks at Sonic with hate as he said with venom leaking from his lips,

"I am going to break your spine, Fire breath." Sonic sighs, and he moves in close before Machamp and delivered a powerful jab straight into Machamp's face. While Machamp holds its face in pain, Sonic swings his tail into Machamp's side. It launched Machamp back, but he grasps Sonic's tail and lifts him and slams Sonic his back behind the four-armed fighter. Sonic was not hurt by it as he got up and avoided Machamp's punches and counter with a Dragon Claw. Machamp raises his arms to block the attack and backhands Sonic's face.

Sonic decided he will no longer play around with Machamp any more and unleash a powerful. Flamethrower, which blasts the fighting type back. Machamp closes his eyes to shield them from the flames. Machamp opens his eyes and had fear in them as Sonic was right before him with a sphere of wind in his claw, slamming it hard into Machamp's chest, launching the Pokemon back. Sonic's Air Slash pushes Machamp back until it exploded, sending Machamp right onto his trainer, knocking him out with his Pokemon on top of him. The only one awake push Crobat off him and pull out a Poke Ball and summon an Abra as he looked at Ash and said.

"You will regret messing with Team Rocket." as the Abra teleport them all away, leaving the cage behind. Ash turns to the cage and tries to open it up, but it lacks a door to open to free the Sneasel, who did saw what happen but remain in place. Sonic walks over and rips the top off the cage-like its cardboard and not steel. The Sneasel saw her chance and hops out, landing right in front of Pikachu. She could tell Pikachu was powerful and wanted to test her might against him. Sneasel tries to use Slash on Pikachu, but the electric mouse kept avoiding her slashing attacks. Pikachu hops back, preventing the attack from landing as Pikachu charges up an Electro Ball and launches it at her. Sneasel jumps back, but the shockwave from the exploding ball of electricity hit her, sending her back even farther.

Sneasel was annoyed as she charges with one of her claws pulsing with ice energy, Pikachu side steps the strike and with its bolt shape tail smacks Sneasel doing severe damage to her. Sneasel realizes if she kept fighting, she would lose with minimum effort by Pikachu. Sneasel decides that she must train under Pikachu's trainer.

"You may have won. but I ask to join you so I can surpass you all." She said to Pikachu and then glanced towards Ash, see if he will catch her or not. Ash was confused what's going on, but Sonic explains what she wanted, and Ash pulls a Poke Ball and said,

"Alright, Sneasel, happy you want to join our team." Sneasel was not a team player, but if it means she can get more powerful, she'll stomach it. Once Sneasel reaches her maximum potential, she will leave this doofus since she does not need a trainer to be mighty. After letting the Poke Ball Catch her, Ash put her Poke Ball away, and the trio heads off, continuing towards Mt Moon.
