Chapter 3
As they arrive at the International Police HQ, which is the Battle Tower, Ash has contacted Scott to know the hidden passage that leads to the cell.
"You know, I always wonder how Anabel and Lance couldn't handle the grunts and let them being captured?" Ash asks his mother.
"Maybe they are tricked." Aurora replies.
The seven of them disguise themselves as Team Rocket Grunts as they sneak in. When they arrive at the Prison Cell, they see Anabel, Lance, and Looker sitting in the cell.
Ash Teleports inside Anabel's first, Anabel is shocked and asks, "Who are you?"
"I will answer later. Can you tell me how is the tower taken?"
"Professor Oak and Charles Goodshow did this to us, we weren't prepared as only Scott escaped." Anabel says.
"I see. Don't worry, we will get your tower back in no time." Ash says as he teleports away to find the others. When they get to the Commanding room, they see no admins and only grunts.
"I guess they didn't really care about this place." Insey says.
"We just need to kick them out of the Tower." Trenor says.
Suddenly, they are surrounded by a bunch of Grunts lead by Professor Oak.
"What do we have here…some intruders I guess." Oak says.
"Are you sure that you are going to surround us?" Aurora asks with a smile.
"Try to provoke us, I see. Too bad we will take your Pokemon and leave you to rot in jail." Oak says.
"I don't think so." Ash says. Aurora's eyes glowed as all the Grunts are thrown out of the Tower.
"What?" Professor Oak exclaims as Ash uses a sword made by Aura on his neck.
Oak says, "Who are you?" He tries to struggle, but he fails.
"Let's just say that you knew both of us well. The ones who you framed and trying to kill at Pallet Town." Aurora says as Oak widens his eyes.
"No way! You two are supposed to be dead! We have put you in prison and even seen your bodies!" Oak says.
"Let's just say we have ways to fool you, old man." Ash says.
Just then, 6 people come inside the room, which is Brock, Misty, Tracy, Gary, Damion, and Harley. Gary yells, "Leave my Grandpa alone!"
They try to take out their Pokemon, but Ash says, "If you move, then he will be dead. If you want him alive, then you must listen to what I must say."
The six don't agree, but they want to save the Professor. Reluctantly, they put their Pokeballs back and Tracy asks, "Who are you two and what do you want?"
Aurora says, "Simple." She says as she uses Psychic to send all 7 people out of the tower.
"Damn it! What just happened?" Misty says in anger.
Oak says, "Those seven, they are Ash Ketchum and Aurora Ketchum, as well as Ash's siblings..."
The six members are shocked. "But how? We thought they are dead!" Brock says.
"And how did Aurora appear now?" Gary asks.
"They probably escaped and somehow had Pokemon powers. It will be a matter of time they will defeat us. Tracy! Send Max and Iris to raise the guards in their region."
"Yes, Professor." Tracy says as everyone leaves.
Ash and Aurora free the members, then Anabel says, "Thank you for saving us, but who are you two?"
Ash and his siblings, as well as Aurora, take off their disguise, everyone gasps at the sight.
"Ash? Is that you?" Lance says in shock.
"Yes. It has been a while." Ash says.
"Wow, how did you manage to escape the prison and make the grunts leave the tower?" Looker asks.
"Simple, we aren't humans." Ash says as he reveals everything to them. They are shocked to know that he is Arceus.
Ash says. "All the things will be told later, we need to get out of this place."
The others nod as they bring them to the Sevestar Island, while Ash and his siblings continue to find Pokemon.
"Okay, the next Pokemon is at Anthony's training dojo." Ash says as the group of six goes there.
Mark says, "I always want to go there, so is your next Pokemon a Fighting Type?"
"Yeah." Ash says as they head inside.
"Hello, can we help you?" A girl asks them as they get in.
Ash says, "Hello, Rebecca. Can you call your father here?"
"Sure." Rebecca says as she goes to call his father. Not long after, Anthony comes out of the room.
"Well, Ash. Long time no see." Anthony says as he gives him a strong hug. "But what happened? How did you become a criminal?"
"Team Rocket has bribed the police and frame me, so I am here to ask if I can take Primeape back." Ash says.
"I see, since Primeape hears the news, he is going nuts about it. Here is him." Anthony says as he gives him the Pokeball.
Ash sends him out, Primeape immediately gives a playful punch on Ash and takes his hat.
"I guess you haven't changed at all, Primeape." Ash says as everyone laughs. Then he recalls him and bids farewell to Anthony and Rebecca.
Once they are back at Vermillion City, Ash says, "Now we need to go to Johto."
"But how are we going to go there?" Golly asks.
"Well…" Ash starts to think as they suddenly hear 2 voices calling out to them. As they look at the ocean, they see two Lapras who are approaching them.
"Lapras!" Ash says as he rushes to them. The baby Lapras immediately nuzzles Ash.
"Why are you here?" Ash asks, laughing at the affection that he gets from the Pokemon.
The mother Lapras says, "My baby can't forget about you, so I decide to take her to find you."
"That is so nice for you, I guess that both of you are going to join my team?" Ash asks.
The two nuzzle Ash as he laughs, then he captures them and rides them to Johto.
"So now we are in Johto, what should we do?" Insey asks after they arrive at the New Bark Town.
"We need to warn Professor Elm about everything." Ash says as the group of 6 arrive at the Lab. As they get there, they see Professor Elm still working as he doesn't know what is happening outside.
"Hello there, how can I help you?" Professor Elm asks.
"Professor Elm, I want to know, have you heard of the news of Ash Ketchum?" Minami asks.
"Him? He is a wonderful boy, but I can't believe that Professor Oak will try to frame him." Elm says.
Ash then quickly shows him the memories as well as how Professor Oak is related to Team Rocket. Professor Elm is shocked, then he says, "So Professor Oak and Mr. Goodshow are Team Rocket members? I can't believe it..."
"Yes. With the new champion, they have put the 8 regions under control." Ash says.
Professor Elm turns to Ash and he asks, "So you are Ash, right? I see that you have escaped Team Rocket's prison. Good to see you safe and sound."
Ash smiles at the professor. "I know, Professor Elm. But no one is safe here, so we will transport your lab to our secret island, is that okay?"
"As long as I am fine." Elm says as the group of 6 do it. After it is done, Ash leaves the explaining to Lance as they head back to Johto.
Insey asks, "So Ash, do you have any Pokemon that you befriended in this region?"
Ash thinks for a second and says, "I think there is only one, but I don't know if he remembers me..."
Ash leads his siblings to Mt. Silver, while they are climbing up the mountain and hear the attacking sound.
"Oh no, do the poachers come back?" Ash says in a worried tone, the last time he leaves his friend here, they were attacked by poachers.
"What poachers?" Trenor asks, but Ash and Pikachu just ignore them as they immediately rush towards the sound.
The other five are staying there with shock, and Insey asks, "I wonder what is that about…"
"Beats me, we better go, too." Mark says as they quickly rush towards the same direction their brother went.
Ash sees Brock in Team Rocket's suit using Golem to attack a Tyranitar. Ash says, "So Brock is attacking my friends, too… Primeape, I choose you." Ash says as the Pokemon is out, then it attacks Golem with the Rage.
"Who dares to stop me?" Brock yells as he turns around, Ash is now wearing a cloak, so Brock doesn't recognize him.
"I am." Ash steps forward. "I see, aren't you Pewter Gym Leader? How pathetic that you join Team Rocket with your free will."
Brock is surprised that this man in front of him knows he joins Team Rocket in his free will, he demands, "Who are you?"
"Let's say I am not human." Ash says as he uses Stone Edge to knock him out and Teleports him away.
Once the Team Rocket member is out of their sight, Ash turns to Tyrantiar and Larvitar as they are still on guard. Ash says, "Tyranitar, Larvitar. Don't worry, you are safe now."
Tyranitar looks at the person in front of her, and she demands, "Who are you? Why are you helping us?"
Ash takes off his hood, the two are shocked to see him. They recognize the boy that brings Larvitar back to his mother, and he is now in front of them again.
"Ash!" Larvitar immediately jumps in Ash's arms, and Ash just smiles at the affection.
"Hey, there Larvitar, it is so great to see you again as well." Ash says as he looks around. "Where is Ranger Mason?"
At the same time, the siblings have found the ranger of Mt. Silver, after explaining about Team Rocket, she comes with them as they finally arrive at the spot.
"Ash? Is that you?" Mason says in shock, as it sure has been a while since she sees him.
"Hello, Mason, long time no see." Ash says.
"Where is Brock, he says that Team Rocket is here to capture Tyranitar. I wait for them to appear, but nobody comes except you." Mason asks in confusion.
Ash explains everything to her, she is furious including the Tyranitar and Larvitar.
"I know that something is fishy. As I am glad that you are safe." Mason says.
"Thanks." Ash says.
Tyranitar then says that they should go with Ash since they will be protected. With Mason's agreement, Ash captures them and quickly leave the place before Team Rocket comes back.
"So that is all from Johto?" Insey asks after they arrive at New Bark Town.
"Yes. Now we must head to Hoenn." Ash says. "It is a good thing we have a ship here."
Before they are about to board the ship, they hear a voice calling out to them. "Wait, twerp!"
Ash and the others turn around and they see Meowth, since he can talk human, that means only one thing.
"Hey, you are Team Rocket's Meowth." Ash says as Pikachu prepares to attack.
"Wait, Twerp!" Meowth says. "I leave Team Rocket!"
"Why should we believe you, last time you say that and we get our Pokemon stolen by you." Ash says.
"Please, just listen to me out!" Meowth says.
Mark says, "Maybe we should listen this time."
"Fine." Ash says as Pikachu stops charging electricity.
"Thank you." Meowth says.
Meowth then explains that how James and himself know about the boss' plan to control everyone in the world, they are frightened and they try to escape, but they were surrounded and James tries to cover for Meowth as he gets killed by the other Rocket members, including Jessie.
"So James is dead?" Pikachu asks in shock.
"Yes. I have nowhere to go. I decide to join you since you are the only one I can turn to." Meowth says.
"Fine." Ash says as he captures him, but due to not liking the Pokeball, he then sits on Ash's shoulder.
"What did you say? Professor Elm escapes?" Professor Oak yells as one grunt tells him.
"We need to find a way to stop them before it is too late." Goodshow says.
"If they left Johto, they will be likely to go to Hoenn. Then I'll ask Max to raise the guarding." Giovanni says while putting his hands crossed on the table. "No doubt they are going to save Steven and Wallace, but even if they do, I don't care, since they can't stop my plans no matter how hard they try."
Here is a new chapter, and in this chapter, Ash and his family finished both Kanto and Johto Parts, and the next chapter will be both Hoenn and Sinnoh.
