Damian's Return
Ash & Mallow were having a practice battle with Smoochum & Bulbasaur
"Smoochum, use Icy Wind." Ash said. Smoochum blew a gust of wind with light blue sparkle in it from her mouth & hit Bulbasaur
"Bulbasaur, use Energy Ball." Mallow said. Bulbasaur fired an orb of light green energy from her mouth & hit Smoochum
"Now, Razor Leaf."
Bulbasaur fired multiple green glowing leaves from her bulb
"Use Confusion." Ash said.
"Smoochum." Smoochum as her eyes glowed violet, telekinetically sent the Razor Leaf back
"Use Solar Beam." Mallow said. Bulbasaur's bulb glowed faint yellow & fired a yellow beam of energy
"Use Ice Beam." Ash said. Smoochum fired light blue beams of ice from her mouth which collided with Solar Beam
"You're gonna have to do better than that beauty jerk." Ash said playfully
"Don't call me beauty jerk." Mallow whined. "Use Take Down."
Bulbasaur became surrounded by a golden force field & charged at Smoochum
"Use Ice Punch." Smoochum's arm became surrounded by icy blue aura & charged at Bulbasaur
Meanwhile Charizard was flying around the Indigo Plateau until
"Lilli!" A voice yelped
"Rargh?" Charizard said as he landed in the forest & looked around
Suddenly Charizard was hit by a thick stream of purple liquid from behind
"Rargh!" Charizard roared in pain as he became poisoned & fell on the ground
"Hello there, Charizard, it's been a while." A voice said
"Rargh." Charizard said as he looked up & his eyes widen
Back with Ash & Mallow
"That was a good battle." Ash said "You did pretty good."
"Thanks, so did you, but don't call me beauty jerk again." Mallow said as she booped him on the nose "So what did you think about Gary's battle?"
"That was the first time I saw him participate in a Pokémon battle." Ash said "He was pretty good, to be honest."
"Yeah." Mallow agreed "We should go look for Charizard."
"Yeah, we should." Ash said
Ash & Mallow looked for Charizard for a few minutes, but they couldn't find them, so they had Kiawe help look for them. Kiawe had his Charizard to look from the sky, but there was no luck.
"Ash, where could your Charizard be?" Kiawe asked
"I don't know, it's not like him to go missing like that." Ash said
"We better hurry before your next match starts." Mallow said
"Ash." A voice said.
They looked & saw Gary
"What's the matter?" Gary asked curiously
"My Charizard is missing & we can't find him anywhere." Ash said
"& Ash's match starts in 30 minutes." Mallow said
"What? Ash, how could you lose your Pokémon at a time like this?" Gary scolded
"It's not like Charizard to get lost like this since he's part Flying Type." Ash said
Gary sighed as he shook his head in disappointment
"Okay Ash, maybe I can help you." Gary said "Do you still have your Charizard's Poké Ball?"
"Yes I do?" Ash said as he pulled out Charizard's Poké Ball
"Perfect, Go Houndour." Gary said as he sent out his Houndour
"Houn!" Houndour barked
"When did you catch that Pokémon?" Ash said surprisingly
"I caught him not too long ago before my match." Gary said "Give me Charizard's Poké Ball."
"Right." Ash said as he gave Gary Charizard's Poké Ball
"Alright Houndour, use Odor Sleuth." Gary said as brought the Poké Ball towards Houndour
Houndour's nose glowed green & sniffed the Poké Ball
"Houndour!" Houndour barked
"You found something?" Gary asked
"Houn." Houndour nodded
"Take us there." Gary said
Houndour led them to a cave in the forest, when they entered the cave Ash saw a very familiar face.
"Damian." Ash said shockingly
"Hello Ash, what a pleasure to see you." Damian smirked
"Do you know him, Ash?" Kiawe said
"Yeah, he's Charizard's former Trainer." Ash said "When Charizard was a Charmander, Damian abandoned him on a rock & never came back before it started raining & because of that, Charizard nearly died. Damian treats his Pokémon horribly & only uses them to win battles."
"How awful." Mallow said
"What are you doing here & where's Charizard?" Ash asked in a demanding tone
"Don't worry about Charizard, he's in good hands." Damian said as he moved to the side & they saw Charizard lying on the ground
"Charizard!" Ash exclaimed shockingly
Before he could run up to Charizard, a Shiny plant humanoid-like Pokémon with a flower on its head got in the way
"May I introduce you to my new Pokémon, Lilligant." Damian said
"Lilligant?" Ash said as he pulled out his Pokédex
Lilligant, the Flowering Pokémon, The fragrance of its flower differs slightly depending on the soil where it grew up. Sniffing the aroma calms your heart and mind.
"What did you do to Charizard?" Ash glared
"I used Lilligant as a diversion to attract Charizard, then I had her use Toxic to weaken him." Damian said
Ash looked into Lilligant's eyes & saw sorrow, pain, & regret. She was also slightly shivering in fear
"Now if you don't mind, I'll be taking Charizard's Poké Ball, since I'll be taking back what's mine." Damian said
"Over my dead body!" Ash said
"You're not getting back Charizard without a fight." Gary said as he & the others pulled out a Poké Ball
"Lilligant, Stun Spore." Damian said
"Lilli." Lilligant said as she released orange sparkling powder from her flower & paralyzed them
"Damian, you monster." Ash said as he fell on his knees
"I might as well take all your Pokémon along with Charizard." Damian said
"Not so fast, Damian." A voice said
Everyone looked & saw Lusamine, Lillie, Gladion, Brock, Misty, Sophocles, Lana, Jessie, James & Growlie
"You're not taking anyone's Pokémon." Brock glared
"What a waste." Damian said in annoyance "Stun Spore."
But Lilligant didn't do a thing as she just stood there staring
"Lilligant." Ash said
"Lil?" Lilligant said as she looked at Ash
"I know you're feeling scared right now & I know Damian's been hurting you & forcing you to do things that you don't wanna do." Ash said "You don't have to do this."
"Yes she does, I caught her, so she should do as I say." Damian said
"Please Lilligant, do what you think is right." Ash said
"…" Lilligant stood in silence
"You know what to do Lilligant." Damian said
"Lil" Lilligant glared as she released a pink mist from her flower which covered the area & healed Ash, Gary, Kiawe, & Mallow.
"What!?" Damian exclaimed shockingly
"Lilligant used Aromatherapy." Lillie said
Lilligant, you little—" Damian said as he raised his arm
"Lill!" Lilligant flinched
Suddenly Damian's arm was grabbed by someone
"Huh?" Damian said as he turned & became face to face with an angry Charizard as he was also healed by
"RAAAAAARGH!" Charizard as he shot fire at Damian's face
"*cough*" Damian coughed as his face was covered in soot
"Rargh!" Charizard said as his fist became engulfed in flames & punched Damian's face which sent him flying into a cave wall
"Lilli!" Lilligant said as she released Stun Spore & paralyzed Damian
"It's over Damian, since you tried to take our Pokémon, it'll be fair if we took yours." Ash said
"Fine, you can have them" Damian groaned in pain
After Ash took his 23 Poké Balls including Lilligant's Poké Ball
"Now, the only thing we need to do is report you to Officer Jenny" Ash said
Suddenly smoke filled the area
"What's going on?" Lillie said as she coughed
"Golbat, use Gust." Ash said as he sent out his Golbat
"Gol!" Golbat said his wings glowed light blue & blew away the smoke
After the smoke cleared, Damian was nowhere to be found
"Where the heck did he go?" Gary said confusingly
"He must have gotten away." Gladion said
"But that's impossible, how could he have gotten away while being paralyzed?" Brock said
"Forget about him, let's see what Pokémon Damian captured." Ash said
When they exit the cave, Ash released the Pokémon from the Poké Balls which sent out a Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, a Shiny Buneary, a Shiny Bounsweet, a Remoraid, a Lapras, a Parasect, a Kantonian Ninetales, an Arcanine, a Gyarados, a Cloyster, an Electabuzz, a Kantonian Raichu, a Milotic, a Golem, an Aerodactyl, a Scizor, an Eevee, & few other Pokémon they hadn't seen before. Ash pulled out his Pokédex
Tangrowth, the Vine Pokémon, & the evolved form of Tangela, Vine growth is accelerated for Tangrowth living in warm climates. If the vines grow long, Tangrowth shortens them by tearing parts of them off.
Whimsicott, the Windveiled Pokémon, As long as this Pokémon bathes in sunlight, its cotton keeps growing. If too much cotton fluff builds up, Whimsicott tears it off and scatters it.
Rhyperior, the Drill Pokémon, & the evolved form of Rhydon, It can load up to three projectiles per arm into the holes in its hands. What launches out of those holes could be either rocks or Roggenrola.
Skarmory, the Armor Bird Pokémon, Skarmory is entirely encased in hard, protective armor. This Pokémon flies at close to 190 mph. It slashes foes with its wings that possess swordlike cutting edges.
Ash took Lilligant, Bounsweet, & Buneary. Mallow took Whimsicott, Parasect, & Tangrowth. Misty took Lapras, Remoraid, & Milotic. Brock took Rhyperior, Aerodactyl, & Golem. Kiawe took Arcanine, Ninetales, & Flareon. Lana took Vaporeon, Gyarados, & Cloyster. Sophocles took Jolteon, Electabuzz, & Raichu. & Gary took Skarmory, Eevee, & Scizor

"Hey Gary, thanks for your help." Ash said gratefully
"Don't mention it, just don't ever lose sight of your Pokémon ever again." Gary said as he got on Skarmory's back "Next time you lose one of your Pokémon, you're on your own, understand?"
"Okay." Ash said
"See ya later." Gary said as he flew off with Skarmory
"Ash." A voice said
Everyone looked & saw a man with long gray hair, black eyes, wearing a gray shirt with a brown overcoat, black pants, & brown boots.
"Silver?" Lusamine said shockingly
"Hello Ash." Silver said neutrally
"Hello…Dad." Ash said neutrally as everyone became shocked
Meanwhile at Team Rocket Headquarters, Damian was in the office of Giovanni
"You have sparked my interest Damien, you will make a fine addition to Team Rocket." Giovanni said intriguingly
