He ran away from all of his problems. He kept running far away. All Ash could hear were his loud footsteps echoing onwards as Ash ran. Suddenly two people came into view and he came to a halt. There stood a blue haired man and a pink haired woman with a Meowth. They at least were in better shape than Ash ran for at least two hours constant and now that his adrenaline stopped he sat down tired at shit barely able to sit up. "It's the twerp," Jesse called out. "The twerp, what's the twerp doing here," asked James. "We know what happened, twerp," Meowth explained, "we know that you were betrayed," Jesse continued, "and we have a proposition for you," James finished. They all paused for a second, "we want you to join Team Rocket," they finished at the same time. "We understand if you don't want to because you're going through a lot of thing's currently but..." Meowth didn't get to finish. "I will," Ash said blankly, "I'll join Team Rocket, I have no one left so I'll join." "Great," exclaimed James, "we'll head to Kanto and meet up with the boss immediately." /em/p

"That is your reason for disturbing me?" Giovanni questioned. "They have a new recruit," Veronica added. "If they were recruited by those three then they must be just as bad," Giovanni countered, "why don't you just send them to the training ground," Giovanni asked. "Trust me on this one Boss, you won't be disappointed," Veronica said. "Alright but if it's not a Champion, you're fired," Giovanni said annoyed. Veronica stayed silent but couldn't hide the smirk on her face as the recruit entered the room. As he raised his head he said, "Hello Giovanni, fancy seeing you here," "Impossible... you... your... Ash," Giovanni finished quietly. "Yes, that's me," Ash smirked. Giovanni recomposed himself, "what are you doing here, Ash?" Giovanni questioned, "don't you have the Championship match against Cynthia today." Ash showed Giovanni his phone and on it was a video playing on Ash's failure to show up which ended in an automatic forfeit for the Challenger. "Why would you choose not to go and fight in the Championship match," Giovanni asked. Ash showed another clip, this time of the clip showing the Mercenary attacking Cynthia. "It that you," Giovanni questioned. "Not me," Ash said, "my older brother Red." 'My older brother Red' those words stuck with Giovanni after his meeting with Ash. Ash said that Red was his brother. That was interesting, to say the least. He expected Ash to rise through the ranks of Team Rocket and he did not disappoint. Ash had told him all about what happened the day before, the betrayal and everything. Giovanni honestly felt sorry for the kid. It reminded him of his own son, Silver who was nearly alone from a young age. Now with the help of Ash Ketchum Team Rocket would rise again stronger than ever. /em/p

Ash had nearly singlehandedly organised Team Rocket into different regions so their reach was all the way to Sinnoh and Hoenn now, put Team Rocket firmly back in control of Celadon and Goldenrod Game Corners, added the horseman system with the four horsemen of the Apocalypse or in this case Giovanni and just recently reinstated the three beasts with himself, Jimmy and Paul. Two people Ash said were from his past that he had recruited, who never betrayed him. Though the only one of the Horsemen Ash had met was Victoria. The only thing Ash knew about them is that their names were Victoria, Joel, Emily and Hudson and that they operated together performing large scale heist's by stealing lot's of Pokemon from Pokemon Centres. Ash perferred a quieter approach by avoiding a battle unless neccissarily or if the person he was tracking pissed him off enough and Ash was never questioned by other Team Rocket members or Giovanni because Ash never failed a mission. Successfully burning New Bark Town to the ground, responsible for the sacking of Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh and the destruction of the Cave of Origin in Hoenn. Giovanni was watching the news until a live broadcast came on. The announcer spoke, "calling all Pokemon trainers, from near and far come participate in the Pokemon Masters tournament held in Lumiose City in the Kalos region win a prize of 100 million Pokedollars. The Masters tournament will be held six months so be prepared trainers. Giovanni sat up straight, 'interesting,' he thought. As if on queue Ash, Paul and Jimmy walked through the doors and handed him their respective Pokemon that they had been tasked to find. "Well done, three beasts, but have you seen the broadcast?" Giovanni questioned them. "Yea, we figured you'd want up to participate," Jimmy claimed. "In six months," Ash asked. "Yes," Giovanni confirmed. "Fun," Paul muttered on their way out. Right as they were walking out Giovanni called out, "Ash, may I speak with you alone," Ash shrugged and turned around. "You know, your former friends may be participating in this tournament if you don't want to go I can just send Paul and Jimmy," Giovanni expressed his concern. "I'll pretend to be my brother, they won't know plus they think I'm dead," Ash said. "Right," Giovanni answered, "The plan continues, Emily has been tracking Z1 and Z2 in Kalos for 4 months, Joel had been tracking Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos around the Sevi Islands for a month and Hudson has been building more Master Ball's. But Ash I want you to go to Petalburg forest in the Hoenn Region, a Team Rocket deserter is in the area hiding out there." "Why should you send me after a grunt, they are useless," Ash asked. "This person was not a measly grunt and you should be worried, this person defeated the Elite Four member Lorelei in a Pokemon battle and she captured Darkrai," Giovanni replied. "What's this particular person's name," Ash asked. Giovanni replied, "She goes by the name, Sird."/p

Dawn was casually watching the news when she saw the fire at Eterna forest through the tv. Ash covered the place. She didn't much care. Not after what happened a week ago she had to cry herself to sleep every night. Trying to convince herself that Ash hadn't left because of her. She had mostly zoned until her mother snapped her fingers next to Dawn's ear getting her attention. "What," Dawn asked annoyed. "Look," her mother stated. And so she did and couldn't believe her eyes. The charred body of the Boy she loved with Pikachu and the pendant, the pendant he had crushed. Dawn began to cry even harder missing Ash's warm embrace and the taste of his lips. A taste she would probably never taste again. The News continued saying that Giovanni, the Boss of Team Rocket had started it, but Dawn wasn't listening she was too busy running out the door and flying to Eterna Forest. /em/p

She would discuss that with the rest of the gang. That's right. Ever since what happened three years ago they had become even closer because of Ash's death. Brock had said "Ash is the glue that binded us all, but now that he's gone we'll bind each other." She never would admit it to the others she missed Ash so much that she started talking to the several pictures she had of him on her room wall. But she knew that Ash would not return./p

His son Gary had come home for the first time in two years for his 18th birthday. Both Blue and Gary were asleep as Green watched the news, he was flicking through the different channel's until something caught his eyes. It talked about a Pokemon Masters tournament that was taking place in the Kalos region. 'Kalos,' Green thought. Last time he had been there he had been 20 when he went to help the Kalos dex holders fight Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde. That was right before he married Blue. Green watched with interest but the entire time he was thinking one thing 'is Red going to go?' It had been 15 years since Red Ketchum's disappearance and many stories had been made up regarding his disappearance. Some stories claim that he had been kidnapped by pirates, other stories say that as one last revenge Giovanni had killed Red. That name. Giovanni. Green had no idea how how Giovanni was still alive. Silver had killed Giovanni himself. That didn't make any sense. Bu what made even less sense what that at the fire of Eterna Forest Giovanni had been sighted by the Police, he was supposedly cornered but when the cops went closer they found that Giovanni wasn't there at all and that he had just vanished. Any attempt to try and track Giovanni had been stopped because they were trying to track a ghost. Wherever they thought he was he just magically disappeared. /p

This was where the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni had his final stand. The crater was still in the ground but now overgrown. Giovanni was his father and Silver had killed him. The blood was on his hands. Even if Silver had promised to take down Team Rocket and defeat his father but Silver never meant to kill his father. It was his father. Even if Giovanni was the most evil man alive, they were still family. But he had been extremely confused when Giovanni was spotted by the Police at Eterna Forest in the Sinnoh region three years ago. He talked to Diamond, Pearl and Platinum and they said that they would look into criminal activity that could involve Team Rocket in the Sinnoh region. Maybe it was as Sird had said. Maybe Silver was destined to walk a path of darkness and there would be no return. /p

Silver would defeat he father once and for all. "Go, Nidoking use Ice Beam," Giovanni yelled. "Urasing, counter with Focus Blast," Silver cried. The two attacks met in the middle causing a large explosion. "Nidoking, return," Giovanni exclaimed panting heavily. "Father give up, I don't want to hurt you," Silver pleaded. "Bedrill, use Brick Break!" Giovanni uttered. "Feraligatr, go use Ice Punch!" Silver yelled. "Ferali!" The Pokemon roared as it left the Pokeball . "Beedrill, use agility," "Arrgh," Silver yelled, "Feraligatr use Hyper Beam on the ground where Beedrill was!" Silver yelled. There was a large explosion. When the dust cleared there was a massive 6 metre deep crater with a diameter of 14 metres. But Silver's father was not there. All that was left was a small patch of blood and a glove. Silver could not believe himself. He was a murderer. He had just taken a life. His own father's life. Even perhaps if Giovanni deserved to die that didn't make Silver feel any better. In the end Silver walked away holding the tattered remains of his father's glove. /em/p

It had been burnt to the ground and many people had died. Gold and Crystal had been off fighting against Legendary Pokemon in a distant region so when they got back they were in a massive shock. Their house was burnt to the ground and their 16 year old son Jimmy was missing. He had looked for three days straight without resting and he returned to his wife Crystal unsuccessful. That night Gold and Crystal cried, clinging to each other in the bed of the hotel they were staying at. Maybe Red would reemerge from hiding and finally bring their son home. Or so Gold hoped. /p

Ever since they had been called to fight in that battle in the distant region Gold had changed to be more serious to help with the environment of the situation. But now Gold was acting like his usual self and Crystal couldn't be happier. As they were walking through the streets everything seemed to get quieter the closer they got to New Bark Town, the trees seemd to tense and it was like the air was holding in a breath waiting to release. Crystal was worried. Their son had been left there alone for so long. The air finally released it's breath as Gold and Crystal turned the corner. Nothing. There was nothing. New Bark Town was a barred site of ash and soot. Gold was quiet for a second just taking in what he was looking at. Gold couldn't believe his eyes, New Bark Town, his home destroyed. Gold thought of their son for a moment and just fell to the ground. "Why," he screamed, "is this my punishment for escaping time Celebi?" He asked into thin air. Crystal got onto her knees next to him and held him. He quietly wept into her shoulder./em/p

She had just recaptured Darkrai and was now in hiding. The reason she released Darkrai is because Cyrus didn't want anyone to be able to match him in power and also that she could barely control Darkrai. The reason she had recaptured Darkrai was because she had stolen a Masterball from Devon Corperation. Now she was in Petalburg Woods, hiding. She wasn't scared of Devon. She was scared of who might find out about the stolen Masterball. She was scared of what would happen if Giovanni hunted her down. She didn't think she had to worry about him. He thought she was dead. Her walking slowed to a halt, suddenly Sird yelled out, "Go, Greninja use Dark Pulse on that tree!" "Sceptile, use Protect," A mysterious voice called out. A Sceptile jumped out from behind the tree and used protect. "Sceeptileee!" Sceptile growled. "Hello Sird, former member of the Three Beast's, Team Rocket and Galactic deserter," the mysterious voice rang out. "Who are you," Sird cried out,"show yourself!" "Very well," Ash said as he slowly walked out from the shadows. "Ahh," Sird said, "the poor boy has come to get revenge, though I must say your looking a bit young," "Whatever," Ash muttered, "Sceptile use Leaf Blade!" "Greninja, Night Slash!" "Sceptile, Dragon Pulse!" Ash yelled. "Water Shuriken!" Sird countered. "Now Starmie, use Hyper Beam!" Sird yelled suddenly and Starmie's core became visible. " "Sceptile, use Leaf Blade on the ground!" Ash said blocking the worst of the attack, but Sird escaped and he would have to report back to Giovanni. Ash decided that as compensation Ash should go on a little mission by himself. Ash flew to the Cinnibar Gym and waited for a victim. He would go to the Viridian Gym but considering everything that has happened, Red did not think he could face Green and Blue so he decided on the next best thing. Lucky him he spotted a decent looking trainer heading for the abandoned mansion that Blaine used as a test for the challengers. He quietly slipped in behind the trainer going up onto the support beams looking down at the trainer. Ash waited for ten minutes for the trainer to enter a secluded area. It nearly worked. Ash crept silently along the support beams as swift as a panther and he was about to jump the trainer until the support beams gave way. "nughh," Ash groaned as he hit the floor hard. Ash registered his surroundings, dim light, rusting walls and the foot on his chest how could he miss that. "Who are you and what is your business here!" The trainer demanded. "Well you see, I just go here from Hoenn after failed a mission so I'm not in a good mood. Anyways if you would be so kind to hand over all your Pokemon without incident that would be much appretiated." Ash finished. "Your Team Rocket," the trainer exclaimed! "I've fought many of the grunts like you, I'll beat you like I beat them!" The trainer announced. "Will you now," Ash questioned. "Yes, I'm going to be the 36th Pokemon League Champion!" The trainer announced exitedly. "Well, how will you compete without any Pokemon," Ash asked. "You won't beat me," The trainer exclaimed, "You grunts are so easy to defeat you couldn't beat a Pidge!" "Well then, let me introduce myself, I am Ash Ketchum of the Three Beast's of Team Rocket and the defeater of the Sinnoh Elite four." "Pik, Pika, Pikachu," Pikachu laughed. "Relax Pikachu it's not like this guy is gonna defeat us," Ash laughed. The trainer gritted his teeth. "Go Pidgeot, Hurricane!" The trainer cried. "Pikachu, Thunder 10% power," Ash said bored. The attack instantly knocked out Pidgeot. "No Pidgeot!" The trainer cried out. "Light's out mate," Ash whispered right before he knocked the trainer. "Let's see..." Ash muttered, "ahh, his name is Thomas and he's trying to get the Volcano badge so he has enough badge to participate in the Masters tournament, very interesting." Ash told Pikachu as he walked out of the building while attaching Team Rocket's new Pokemon to his belt. The path Ash had chosen was not a path he had wanted but not there was no return./p

He ran away from all of his problems. He kept running far away. All Ash could hear were his loud footsteps echoing onwards as Ash ran. Suddenly two people came into view and he came to a halt. There stood a blue haired man and a pink haired woman with a Meowth. They at least were in better shape than Ash ran for at least two hours constant and now that his adrenaline stopped he sat down tired at shit barely able to sit up. "It's the twerp," Jesse called out. "The twerp, what's the twerp doing here," asked James. "We know what happened, twerp," Meowth explained, "we know that you were betrayed," Jesse continued, "and we have a proposition for you," James finished. They all paused for a second, "we want you to join Team Rocket," they finished at the same time. "We understand if you don't want to because you're going through a lot of thing's currently but..." Meowth didn't get to finish. "I will," Ash said blankly, "I'll join Team Rocket, I have no one left so I'll join." "Great," exclaimed James, "we'll head to Kanto and meet up with the boss immediately." /em/p

"That is your reason for disturbing me?" Giovanni questioned. "They have a new recruit," Veronica added. "If they were recruited by those three then they must be just as bad," Giovanni countered, "why don't you just send them to the training ground," Giovanni asked. "Trust me on this one Boss, you won't be disappointed," Veronica said. "Alright but if it's not a Champion, you're fired," Giovanni said annoyed. Veronica stayed silent but couldn't hide the smirk on her face as the recruit entered the room. As he raised his head he said, "Hello Giovanni, fancy seeing you here," "Impossible... you... your... Ash," Giovanni finished quietly. "Yes, that's me," Ash smirked. Giovanni recomposed himself, "what are you doing here, Ash?" Giovanni questioned, "don't you have the Championship match against Cynthia today." Ash showed Giovanni his phone and on it was a video playing on Ash's failure to show up which ended in an automatic forfeit for the Challenger. "Why would you choose not to go and fight in the Championship match," Giovanni asked. Ash showed another clip, this time of the clip showing the Mercenary attacking Cynthia. "It that you," Giovanni questioned. "Not me," Ash said, "my older brother Red." 'My older brother Red' those words stuck with Giovanni after his meeting with Ash. Ash said that Red was his brother. That was interesting, to say the least. He expected Ash to rise through the ranks of Team Rocket and he did not disappoint. Ash had told him all about what happened the day before, the betrayal and everything. Giovanni honestly felt sorry for the kid. It reminded him of his own son, Silver who was nearly alone from a young age. Now with the help of Ash Ketchum Team Rocket would rise again stronger than ever. /em/p

Ash had nearly singlehandedly organised Team Rocket into different regions so their reach was all the way to Sinnoh and Hoenn now, put Team Rocket firmly back in control of Celadon and Goldenrod Game Corners, added the horseman system with the four horsemen of the Apocalypse or in this case Giovanni and just recently reinstated the three beasts with himself, Jimmy and Paul. Two people Ash said were from his past that he had recruited, who never betrayed him. Though the only one of the Horsemen Ash had met was Victoria. The only thing Ash knew about them is that their names were Victoria, Joel, Emily and Hudson and that they operated together performing large scale heist's by stealing lot's of Pokemon from Pokemon Centres. Ash perferred a quieter approach by avoiding a battle unless neccissarily or if the person he was tracking pissed him off enough and Ash was never questioned by other Team Rocket members or Giovanni because Ash never failed a mission. Successfully burning New Bark Town to the ground, responsible for the sacking of Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh and the destruction of the Cave of Origin in Hoenn. Giovanni was watching the news until a live broadcast came on. The announcer spoke, "calling all Pokemon trainers, from near and far come participate in the Pokemon Masters tournament held in Lumiose City in the Kalos region win a prize of 100 million Pokedollars. The Masters tournament will be held six months so be prepared trainers. Giovanni sat up straight, 'interesting,' he thought. As if on queue Ash, Paul and Jimmy walked through the doors and handed him their respective Pokemon that they had been tasked to find. "Well done, three beasts, but have you seen the broadcast?" Giovanni questioned them. "Yea, we figured you'd want up to participate," Jimmy claimed. "In six months," Ash asked. "Yes," Giovanni confirmed. "Fun," Paul muttered on their way out. Right as they were walking out Giovanni called out, "Ash, may I speak with you alone," Ash shrugged and turned around. "You know, your former friends may be participating in this tournament if you don't want to go I can just send Paul and Jimmy," Giovanni expressed his concern. "I'll pretend to be my brother, they won't know plus they think I'm dead," Ash said. "Right," Giovanni answered, "The plan continues, Emily has been tracking Z1 and Z2 in Kalos for 4 months, Joel had been tracking Articuno, Moltres and Zapdos around the Sevi Islands for a month and Hudson has been building more Master Ball's. But Ash I want you to go to Petalburg forest in the Hoenn Region, a Team Rocket deserter is in the area hiding out there." "Why should you send me after a grunt, they are useless," Ash asked. "This person was not a measly grunt and you should be worried, this person defeated the Elite Four member Lorelei in a Pokemon battle and she captured Darkrai," Giovanni replied. "What's this particular person's name," Ash asked. Giovanni replied, "She goes by the name, Sird."/p

Dawn was casually watching the news when she saw the fire at Eterna forest through the tv. Ash covered the place. She didn't much care. Not after what happened a week ago she had to cry herself to sleep every night. Trying to convince herself that Ash hadn't left because of her. She had mostly zoned until her mother snapped her fingers next to Dawn's ear getting her attention. "What," Dawn asked annoyed. "Look," her mother stated. And so she did and couldn't believe her eyes. The charred body of the Boy she loved with Pikachu and the pendant, the pendant he had crushed. Dawn began to cry even harder missing Ash's warm embrace and the taste of his lips. A taste she would probably never taste again. The News continued saying that Giovanni, the Boss of Team Rocket had started it, but Dawn wasn't listening she was too busy running out the door and flying to Eterna Forest. /em/p

She would discuss that with the rest of the gang. That's right. Ever since what happened three years ago they had become even closer because of Ash's death. Brock had said "Ash is the glue that binded us all, but now that he's gone we'll bind each other." She never would admit it to the others she missed Ash so much that she started talking to the several pictures she had of him on her room wall. But she knew that Ash would not return./p

His son Gary had come home for the first time in two years for his 18th birthday. Both Blue and Gary were asleep as Green watched the news, he was flicking through the different channel's until something caught his eyes. It talked about a Pokemon Masters tournament that was taking place in the Kalos region. 'Kalos,' Green thought. Last time he had been there he had been 20 when he went to help the Kalos dex holders fight Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde. That was right before he married Blue. Green watched with interest but the entire time he was thinking one thing 'is Red going to go?' It had been 15 years since Red Ketchum's disappearance and many stories had been made up regarding his disappearance. Some stories claim that he had been kidnapped by pirates, other stories say that as one last revenge Giovanni had killed Red. That name. Giovanni. Green had no idea how how Giovanni was still alive. Silver had killed Giovanni himself. That didn't make any sense. Bu what made even less sense what that at the fire of Eterna Forest Giovanni had been sighted by the Police, he was supposedly cornered but when the cops went closer they found that Giovanni wasn't there at all and that he had just vanished. Any attempt to try and track Giovanni had been stopped because they were trying to track a ghost. Wherever they thought he was he just magically disappeared. /p

This was where the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni had his final stand. The crater was still in the ground but now overgrown. Giovanni was his father and Silver had killed him. The blood was on his hands. Even if Silver had promised to take down Team Rocket and defeat his father but Silver never meant to kill his father. It was his father. Even if Giovanni was the most evil man alive, they were still family. But he had been extremely confused when Giovanni was spotted by the Police at Eterna Forest in the Sinnoh region three years ago. He talked to Diamond, Pearl and Platinum and they said that they would look into criminal activity that could involve Team Rocket in the Sinnoh region. Maybe it was as Sird had said. Maybe Silver was destined to walk a path of darkness and there would be no return. /p

Silver would defeat he father once and for all. "Go, Nidoking use Ice Beam," Giovanni yelled. "Urasing, counter with Focus Blast," Silver cried. The two attacks met in the middle causing a large explosion. "Nidoking, return," Giovanni exclaimed panting heavily. "Father give up, I don't want to hurt you," Silver pleaded. "Bedrill, use Brick Break!" Giovanni uttered. "Feraligatr, go use Ice Punch!" Silver yelled. "Ferali!" The Pokemon roared as it left the Pokeball . "Beedrill, use agility," "Arrgh," Silver yelled, "Feraligatr use Hyper Beam on the ground where Beedrill was!" Silver yelled. There was a large explosion. When the dust cleared there was a massive 6 metre deep crater with a diameter of 14 metres. But Silver's father was not there. All that was left was a small patch of blood and a glove. Silver could not believe himself. He was a murderer. He had just taken a life. His own father's life. Even perhaps if Giovanni deserved to die that didn't make Silver feel any better. In the end Silver walked away holding the tattered remains of his father's glove. /em/p

It had been burnt to the ground and many people had died. Gold and Crystal had been off fighting against Legendary Pokemon in a distant region so when they got back they were in a massive shock. Their house was burnt to the ground and their 16 year old son Jimmy was missing. He had looked for three days straight without resting and he returned to his wife Crystal unsuccessful. That night Gold and Crystal cried, clinging to each other in the bed of the hotel they were staying at. Maybe Red would reemerge from hiding and finally bring their son home. Or so Gold hoped. /p

Ever since they had been called to fight in that battle in the distant region Gold had changed to be more serious to help with the environment of the situation. But now Gold was acting like his usual self and Crystal couldn't be happier. As they were walking through the streets everything seemed to get quieter the closer they got to New Bark Town, the trees seemd to tense and it was like the air was holding in a breath waiting to release. Crystal was worried. Their son had been left there alone for so long. The air finally released it's breath as Gold and Crystal turned the corner. Nothing. There was nothing. New Bark Town was a barred site of ash and soot. Gold was quiet for a second just taking in what he was looking at. Gold couldn't believe his eyes, New Bark Town, his home destroyed. Gold thought of their son for a moment and just fell to the ground. "Why," he screamed, "is this my punishment for escaping time Celebi?" He asked into thin air. Crystal got onto her knees next to him and held him. He quietly wept into her shoulder./em/p

She had just recaptured Darkrai and was now in hiding. The reason she released Darkrai is because Cyrus didn't want anyone to be able to match him in power and also that she could barely control Darkrai. The reason she had recaptured Darkrai was because she had stolen a Masterball from Devon Corperation. Now she was in Petalburg Woods, hiding. She wasn't scared of Devon. She was scared of who might find out about the stolen Masterball. She was scared of what would happen if Giovanni hunted her down. She didn't think she had to worry about him. He thought she was dead. Her walking slowed to a halt, suddenly Sird yelled out, "Go, Greninja use Dark Pulse on that tree!" "Sceptile, use Protect," A mysterious voice called out. A Sceptile jumped out from behind the tree and used protect. "Sceeptileee!" Sceptile growled. "Hello Sird, former member of the Three Beast's, Team Rocket and Galactic deserter," the mysterious voice rang out. "Who are you," Sird cried out,"show yourself!" "Very well," Ash said as he slowly walked out from the shadows. "Ahh," Sird said, "the poor boy has come to get revenge, though I must say your looking a bit young," "Whatever," Ash muttered, "Sceptile use Leaf Blade!" "Greninja, Night Slash!" "Sceptile, Dragon Pulse!" Ash yelled. "Water Shuriken!" Sird countered. "Now Starmie, use Hyper Beam!" Sird yelled suddenly and Starmie's core became visible. " "Sceptile, use Leaf Blade on the ground!" Ash said blocking the worst of the attack, but Sird escaped and he would have to report back to Giovanni. Ash decided that as compensation Ash should go on a little mission by himself. Ash flew to the Cinnibar Gym and waited for a victim. He would go to the Viridian Gym but considering everything that has happened, Red did not think he could face Green and Blue so he decided on the next best thing. Lucky him he spotted a decent looking trainer heading for the abandoned mansion that Blaine used as a test for the challengers. He quietly slipped in behind the trainer going up onto the support beams looking down at the trainer. Ash waited for ten minutes for the trainer to enter a secluded area. It nearly worked. Ash crept silently along the support beams as swift as a panther and he was about to jump the trainer until the support beams gave way. "nughh," Ash groaned as he hit the floor hard. Ash registered his surroundings, dim light, rusting walls and the foot on his chest how could he miss that. "Who are you and what is your business here!" The trainer demanded. "Well you see, I just go here from Hoenn after failed a mission so I'm not in a good mood. Anyways if you would be so kind to hand over all your Pokemon without incident that would be much appretiated." Ash finished. "Your Team Rocket," the trainer exclaimed! "I've fought many of the grunts like you, I'll beat you like I beat them!" The trainer announced. "Will you now," Ash questioned. "Yes, I'm going to be the 36th Pokemon League Champion!" The trainer announced exitedly. "Well, how will you compete without any Pokemon," Ash asked. "You won't beat me," The trainer exclaimed, "You grunts are so easy to defeat you couldn't beat a Pidge!" "Well then, let me introduce myself, I am Ash Ketchum of the Three Beast's of Team Rocket and the defeater of the Sinnoh Elite four." "Pik, Pika, Pikachu," Pikachu laughed. "Relax Pikachu it's not like this guy is gonna defeat us," Ash laughed. The trainer gritted his teeth. "Go Pidgeot, Hurricane!" The trainer cried. "Pikachu, Thunder 10% power," Ash said bored. The attack instantly knocked out Pidgeot. "No Pidgeot!" The trainer cried out. "Light's out mate," Ash whispered right before he knocked the trainer. "Let's see..." Ash muttered, "ahh, his name is Thomas and he's trying to get the Volcano badge so he has enough badge to participate in the Masters tournament, very interesting." Ash told Pikachu as he walked out of the building while attaching Team Rocket's new Pokemon to his belt. The path Ash had chosen was not a path he had wanted but not there was no return./p
