Saving Pokemon for Ash

During that night, a lot of people have left to continue what they are doing, leaving only the Ketchums and Professor Oak at the Kanto House. Ash is sitting in his room with Pikachu and Arceus by his side.

"I couldn't even save a Pokemon from being suffered...can I still be the Pokemon Master that I wanted to be?" Ash asks Arceus, who says, "That depends since it is not your fault for what fate has stored for them. It is those people's fault. Though they still can't capture them as they are still hiding..."

"I know..." Ash says. "Starting from tomorrow, I am going to do my job to find suitable trainers for the Sevestar Region. Maybe I should also do something as well..."

"You know, the Galar Champion has asked you to challenge the Galar League, while the Hoenn Champion has given you the offer to partake in Contests. There are a lot of possibilities you can do besides grieving your Pokemon's misery in your house."

"That might be true..." Ash says.

"And don't forget you have your fiancée, maybe you can find her as well." Arceus says.

Ash blushes and he says, "Did you mean Alice? But she has school to attend..."

"I got the news that Valerie has dropped her three children out of school." Arceus says. "Since they get beating more than learning."

Suddenly, Ash can feel rage and he grips his fists in anger. "No one dares to hurt my Alice! Who do those people think they are?"

"Calm down, Ash." Arceus says, "We are also mad that there are people like them in this world, but that is nature. Good and Bad are like two sides of the coin, they don't meet with each other, but they can't live without each other."

"I know...but to think Alice suffered...I just can't bear it." Ash frowns.

"That's why she needs you more than ever." Arceus says, "Perhaps you can go find her and tells her how you feel."

"Your right. And I am going to make her happy as well." Ash vows. "Even though I found that I couldn't smile..."

Pikachu blinks and asks, "You knew that you couldn't smile?"

"I don't know why, every time I try to make myself laugh, but it fails in the end." Ash frowns. "Does that mean I won't be able to laugh again like I used to?"

Arceus says, "I can't answer that question. But maybe one day, your fiancee will make you smile."

"That might be possible." Ash nods. "Arceus, I have a question. Why are there 18 types in the world?"

"That is a good question." Arceus says, "As you can see, each type represents a part of me, with 17 plates and my own body. Some types help Pokemon live in their environment: Water Type lives in the ocean, Flying Type lives in the sky. Some of them show their nature. Like Dark Type are usually mischievous, and Fighting Type show how they like to battle."

"You and Silvally are the only ones that can change into all 18 of them, if the Gym Leaders are like Pokemon, which specializes in one or two types, is it possible to specialize in all 18 types?"

"What do you mean? You are a trainer who uses all the types of Pokemon, maybe you just didn't have a Ghost Type in your team." Arceus says.

"I mean that...since I can wield aura, is it possible I can make 18 copies of me, each one represents a type of Pokemon and even use 6 Pokemon that is only that type?"

"Which means you will need 18 copies of yourself and 108 Pokemon to train." Arceus says. "It is not impossible, but you might be tired if you do that."

"I know...that is why I need more training so that I can overcome all the hardships." Ash says. "I think I need to set up a plan."

Ash walks towards his desk and then he starts to take a paper, writing down his plan. Pikachu and Arceus are surprised as they can't believe Ash is really serious about this.

At the same time, Alice, Flora, and Eve are walking on the streets of Lumiose City, Eve says, "I can't believe we can just walk around the city without going to school for some threats."

"I know...but still, I feel like it is not right to just skip school like this, even though Mother permits us...the teacher permits us..." Alice says.

"But that means we can try to use our time to explore this Lumiose City." Flora says as they continue to walk around the place. But then, they quickly hide as they see some people with cloaks having cages of Pokemon in their hands as they sneak into an alley.

"What is going on here?" Flora asks, "Why are those Pokemon being caged?"

"They must be terrorists...what are we going to do?" Eve asks.

Alice says, "Those Pokemon...I am not going to let them do anything to those Pokemon." Just then, Alice rushes off, and Eve says, "Shouldn't we call the police?"

But it is too late, Alice is out of their sight as Flora says, "Just what is actually going on here?"

"Alice is our sister and we should help her out." Eve says as they chase after her.

Once Alice arrives at the entrance of the building, she listens to the conversation and they hear one of the girls asks, "How is it?"

"We have sold the Quilava. The buyer really likes to have one of Ash's Pokemon..." Another figure says.

Alice is surprised to hear them talking about Ash's Pokemon, she thinks, "So they are the ones that stole Ash's Pokemon and killed some of them...which means that those in the cages are also Ash's Pokemon...I have to try to think of a way to save them."

"Hey you..." Alice is surprised to hear someone calling out to her, she looks around, and the voice says, "Over here!"

She looks up and sees a Meowth standing on the roof as it jumps down. "A Meowth? And you can talk?"

Meowth says, "Of course I can talk, but that is not what you should worry about. What are you doing?"

Alice says, "Well...do you know about those people?"

The Meowth says, "Of course. They are members of Team Rocket, you probably heard of the name."

"Team Rocket...they are a bunch of thieves in the Kanto Region. What are they doing here in Kalos?" Alice asks.

"They are here to make deals for Team Rocket." Meowth says, "The reason I knew of is that I was a part of Team Rocket."

Alice gasps a little, but Meowth quickly shuts her up, he says, "I left Team Rocket because the boss has executed two of my friends for our constant failures...that is, stealing the twerp, Ash's Pokemon."

Alice says, "I know Ash personally, so I want to save those Pokemon from him."

Meowth looks at the girl, and he asks, "Do you think you can do this alone?"

"She is not alone." Flora and Eve also come and Eve says, "Wow, is that a talking Meowth?"

Alice says, "Now is not the time. We need to save those Pokemon as they belong to Ash."

"Ash? As in Ash Ketchum?" Flora asks, and Meowth says, "I know a way to get into this place without being caught."

As they follow the Meowth, they manage to get to the roof, as they see a glass window, in the window is no other than Trip, who is guarding the Pokeballs that belonged to Ash.

Meowth says, "Those Pokeballs are the ones that you saw in the cages, all of Ash's Pokemon is there. If you can manage to swipe those Pokeballs without being caught by that twerp over there, then it is bingo for you."

Eve says, "I see...I think I have a Pokemon that can help me out." She takes out a Pokeball and sends out a Malamar. "Malamar, use Hypnosis on that boy."

Malamar nods as it uses the hypnosis, and Trip suddenly falls asleep. Meowth uses the chance to open the window as they sneak inside. They find 12 Pokeballs as they each get four of them.

"Now let's leave." Meowth says, but as they are about to jump out the window, the door suddenly opens and the other eight have rushed into the room.

"Who are you and where do you think you are going to take those Pokemon?" Misty demands. Alice says, "Crap, we are caught.

"We have better go! Or else it is too late." Flora says, but they are now surrounded by them. While Iris is trying to wake up Trip.

"Put down those Pokeballs, or we're going to do it by force." Brock says.

"Those Pokeballs are not even belonged to you." Eve says. "We know that they belong to Ash Ketchum, and we are going to take them back to him."

"Oh yeah? Do you think you can just do it?" May asks with a smirk, and Alice says, "Oh, maybe we can."

Suddenly, her eyes are glowing as she creates a bow and an arrow, She shoots into the air, creating a white mist. "What the..."

Then the four of them use the chance to escape. Gary says, "Pidgeot, chase after them!"

As Gary sends out his Pidgeot, it starts to chase after the sisters, Eve says, "We have to get rid of that Pidgeot."

"Luckily it is weak against Ice Type." Alice says as she takes out a Pokeball, revealing an Abomasnow. "Abomasnow! Use Ice Shard!"

Abomasnow fires the attack that causes the bird Pokemon to fall to the roof. Meowth says, "That is good thinking, and judging by what you just did, are you perhaps an Aura User?"

"Our family are Aura Users." Alice says. "Ash is the one that told me about my special powers."

Eve says, "We all can use it, but right now, escape is the top priority."

"Come back here!" They see that the nine figures in the hoods are chasing after them, and Flora asks, "Where are we going? We might get caught if we continued to run aimlessly."

"How about Professor Sycamore's Lab?" Eve asks, "He might be willing to help us out."

In Professor Sycamore's Lab, Diantha was talking to Professor Sycamore about the Pokemon League, until they hear a large door opening sound, they rush to see three girls rushing towards them.

"Even the Champion is here? That's great." Alice says. "We need your help?"

Professor Sycamore asks, "Who are you and why did you barge into the lab like that?"

Alice says, "We are sorry about that, but we just got chased by nine thieves who stole Pokemon from Ash Ketchum."

"What?" Diantha is shocked. The world has been searching for them and those three claim to find them and even got chased by them. Professor Sycamore looks outside the door and he sees nobody. "Are you sure you're telling the truth?" The Professor asks.

"I can guarantee that they aren't telling lies." When the Meowth talks, Diantha says, "Hey, aren't you..."

"I know, I have left Team Rocket because they killed two of my partners, you might remember Jessie and James, they were killed, so I escaped." Meowth says with a frown.

Eve says, "Professor, Champion, he has been helping us trying to escape those people. He is telling the truth."

Diantha says, "But why did those people trying to chase after you? What did you do to them?"

Alice says, "We found them holding Pokeballs that belonged to Ash Ketchum, so with Meowth's help, we managed to retrieve them so that we can try to return them to Ash."

Diantha gasps as she can't believe those 3 girls are capable of doing that, Flora says, "But right now they will need some medical treatment, when we saw them, they have been very weak and they are on the verge of dying as well."

Professor Sycamore says, "Okay, I'll take them to our treating room."

At the same time, the Traitors arrive at the lab, and Clemont says, "Don't tell me that they have entered the Professor's Lab..."

"Damn it...we planned so hard to get those Pokemon...and now they were just gone like that..." May grits her teeth in anger.

"What should we do now? Going into the Lab is a risk that we shouldn't take." Kiawe says.

"We should go back to our base and inform the boss." Mallow says as they quickly leave before somebody manages to see their disguises.

Here is a new chapter, and Alice and her sisters are bold enough to get the stolen Pokemon back from the traitors, who have joined Team Rocket for unknown reasons. I hope you like this chapter.
