A/N: Here is the next chapter repost of The Kanto Harem Chronicles. Satoshi Tajiri owns all of Pokémon.

As Ash and Serena woke up the next morning, they got ready and walked into Cerulean Gym with determined looks on their faces. "I'm here to earn a Cascade Badge," Ash said as he walked in.

"Ah so you are the other Pallet prodigy I take it." Daisy said as she came out of the pool. She was a blonde and wearing a one-piece bathing suit. "The other one just bested me with my own sister."

"Your sister?" Ash asked in confusion.

"Misty." Ash then put two and two together. The accident that caused the fourth sister's death had caused the one in question, Misty, to be reborn as an Eevee and given to Gary.

"Misty was your sister?"

"She seems pretty happy to be with her trainer. Not to mention she knocked out her old Starmie with one Bite."

"Damn that's powerful."

"Are we going to get to our match though?"

"Of course. Is this a two-on-two?"

"Yes. I will start with Staryu." Daisy threw out a PokéBall and your typical Staryu came out and waited on Ash's choice.

"Gardenia, you're up!" Ash threw his PokéBall and out came his humanoid Ivysaur. "Use Razor Leaf!" Gardenia jumped up and threw several of her leaves from her dress at the Starfish Pokémon. They became razor sharp and flew straight at Staryu striking it hard. As the dust settled where Staryu was standing, Staryu laid there with its core flashing and making a siren sound indicating it was too weak to go on.

"Staryu return," Daisy said as she pulled out Staryu's PokéBall and recalled it back into it. "I gotta say Ash, you definitely know how to battle."

"Thanks but it's my Pokémon who deserve the credit." Ash returned Gardenia to her PokéBall as Serena prepared herself for Starmie.

"Your modesty is admirable but they fight for you so you do deserve the credit."

"I know they do but still it's their choice."

"Very well, let's continue this battle. Starmie, come out!" Daisy threw her second PokéBall and Starmie came out.

"Serena?"

"Ready to go Ash," she replied as she ran out to the battlefield. "I better be careful though."

"Starmie, Water Pulse!" Daisy said as she saw their hesitation.

"Serena, jump up to dodge!" Ash yelled. Serena sprang up and got good height. "Now go for ThunderBolt!" Serena's body filled with a yellow aura then a stream of it flew towards Starmie at blinding speed. Again as the dust settled, Starmie's core flashed with a lower siren than Staryu's. "Alright!"

"Well Ash, you impress me a great deal. As proof of your victory, the Cascade Badge." Daisy pulled a badge in the shape of a dewdrop.

"Thanks Daisy." He let Gardenia back out then he showed her the badge. "This is your victory ladies." Both Serena and Gardenia hugged him.

The next day, Ash headed towards Route 24 and Nugget Bridge. He soon met up with Gary and Misty, who were standing near the Nugget Bridge's steps. Gary was holding a black suit with a red R on the front in one of his hands. "Gary I don't believe this!"

"Huh?" Gary said as he looked up. Then he saw what Ash was looking at. "It's not what it seems Ash. I'm actually going to be going undercover to find out what's going on with what they are doing."

"That better be the case Gary because I would hate to see how your grandfather would react."

"Gramps already knows. He said it was risky business being a spy, but if it gave us some useful intel, I should do it."

"Maybe I should too."

"Ash?" Serena said in concern.

"Don't worry baby, I should be okay with you girls helping me."

"Well okay. If you say so."

"Well Gary, wanna battle?"

"You're on. Spearow come out!" Gary threw out one of his own special PokéBalls. Out popped a Spearow with b-cups dirty blonde hair and sporting attire that made her look like a punk.

"Claire it's your turn to battle." Claire was sent out and she got in a battle pose. "Claire, Ice Beam!"

"Yes sir!" Claire yelled back. She fired a beam of cyan energy at Spearow. It hit Spearow directly causing her to faint.

"Well, Claire doesn't play around," Gary said as he returned Spearow to her PokéBall. "Rattata you're next." His second anthro Pokémon was a purple rat girl with a-cups, purple hair and she wore a schoolgirl outfit. "Hyper Fang!" Rattata lunged at Claire with her fangs showing.

"Claire dodge then as you do, Dragon Rush to trip her up." Claire did as she was told and Rattata was thrown for a loop. She couldn't even get back up. Gary returned her to her PokéBall and sent out his Sandshrew next. She was a b-cup, had sandy blonde hair and she wore an archeologist's outfit. "Claire, let's let Bethany have a turn."

"Right," Claire replied as Ash recalled her to her PokéBall. Bethany was sent next.

"Bethany, PsyBeam!" Ash yelled. She nodded and fired her attack at Sandshrew fainting her.

"Misty, it's up to you," Gary said as he looked at the redheaded Eevee. "Iron Tail!"

"Right!" Misty said as she leapt at Bethany and her tail glowed before becoming a solid form of its usual soft form.

"Bethany, dodge and use PsyBeam again!" Ash yelled to the anthro Butterfree. Bethany did as she was told and beat Misty in one hit.

"Damn Ash, I didn't realize how much you had trained the girls," Gary said.

"Hey they are trying their hardest for me," Ash said.

"Exactly the point. Both our little harems will do anything to please us. Oh, and if you were thinking of going undercover, they only have one position open so you better get moving."

"Right. Ready Serena?"

"Ready when you are Ash." Serena replied as they headed up Nugget Bridge. They battled through 5 trainers before reaching the trainer Gary described in detail to apply for the job.

"I'm here to apply for the last position for Team Rocket recruits," Ash said as he approached him. "My friend told me that this is where I would be able to sign up."

"Ah, Gary told us you would be coming," said the man. "There is at least one thing you must do to pass the qualifications. Beat me in a battle."

"Very well. Send your Pokémon out first."

"Ekans come out!" Yelled the Grunt Instructor as he threw his PokéBall. Just like Jessie's, this Ekans was your run-of-the-mill Ekans.

"Bethany, let's go!" Ash yelled as he threw his PokéBall. Bethany came out and automatically used PsyBeam as if she already knew what Ash was going to command her to use.

"Not bad kid. Zubat, go!" Again, it was a normal run-of-the-mill Zubat.

"Bethany, it's Serena's turn," Ash said. Bethany nodded and returned to her PokéBall. Serena stepped up and used ThunderBolt knocking out the Zubat.

"Very good kid. You definitely qualify for the new position." The Grunt Instructor grabbed a Rocket Uniform from a nearby box. "Your first orientation with the boss will be in Celedon City. Get there as soon as you possibly can. He prefers you fly there, however I can tell it will take a while. I will alert him you will be there in at least two weeks."

"Thank your sir."

"I can tell you and Gary will be a great asset to the cause."

"Well, be seeing you," Ash said as he ran off far enough to where the Grunt Instructor couldn't hear them. "I can't believe he fell for that."

"Looks like Gary knew it was going to be too easy to fool him." Serena said in an excited tone. "Hey who's that over there?" She pointed to a young boy with green hair, wearing a black long sleeve shirt under a purple short sleeve dress shirt that was unbuttoned, lime green jeans and navy blue shoes. He had a depressed look on his face.

"Let's go see." Ash and Serena soon came up to the kid. "Hey, what's eating you kid?"

"Oh," the boy said as he looked up at Ash. "I just haven't been raising my Charmander well. I've been hoping someone could take her for me." The boy's face beamed. "Hey, would you mind taking her for me?"

"I don't see why not. I will make sure she is well taken care of."

"Thank you so much." The boy grabbed Charmander's PokéBall from his belt and handed it to Ash. "Her name is May by the way."

"Okay. Good luck with the rest of your journey." Ash said to him as he walked off and couldn't believe his luck. He switched her to the other PokéBalls which changed her into a girl with c-cups brown hair and her attire was a red sports dress and a matching red bandana.

"Another comrade for our group," Serena said as Ash smiled.

"One more before Bethany gets what I promised her too."

"Bet you're excited to keep your promise huh?"

"Yep. Let's head to the lighthouse near here first before we head back to Cerulean to get to Vermillion."

"That sound like a good idea." As they headed to lighthouse, they made sure May got adjusted to her new form. She had later told them she was originally the daughter of Norman, the Gym Leader of Petalburg City in the Hoenn Region. Ash couldn't believe how lucky he was getting with so many reborn Gym Leaders. Soon they reached the lighthouse and encountered a male anthro Clefairy.

"Hello can you help me?" said the Clefairy.

"Sure," Ash said. "What seems to be the problem?"

"You see, my machine has malfunctioned and turned me into this hideous monstrosity."

"Do you need us to reverse the polarity for you?"

"Yes please. With these hands, I can't really type in the sequence." Ash nodded as he got to work. He saw the codes listed in the person's databanks. After a few hours of recalibrating, the machine was ready.

"Everything's set. Just get inside and I'll press the button." The Clefairy nodded. After he got in and Ash pressed the button, the machine started up. A bright light traveled from one tube to the other, and out the other tube came out a young man in a lab uniform similar to Professor Oak's. Ash recognized him. "Hey, you're Bill aren't you?"

"Yes and thank you so much for helping me. I was helping the professor with his research on how your Pokémon had become these attractive young ladies."

"Are you also the one who helped make these special PokéBalls?"

"Yes indeed. Tell me, would you like to go to a party for me in Vermillion? My research takes up most of my time so I can't find time to go."

"Okay sure." Bill then started rummaging through his desk at Ash's reply. He handed Ash a cruise liner ticket and bade him farewell. Ash and Serena headed back to Cerulean to rest at the Pokémon Center when they heard sirens blazing. Ash and Serena soon followed to see what was going on. "Officer Jenny, what's happening?"

"A member of Team Rocket took a TM from a couple in this house," said the blue haired officer.

"I'd like to volunteer to try and retrieve it for them. I happen to have been fortunate enough to snatch one of these Rocket uniforms when I came across one of their dim-witted grunts."

"Let me see these." Ash handed them to her and she gasped at the patch she saw. "How did you manage to grab an executive garb?"

"What?!" Ash looked closely. "Huh, aren't I lucky."

"You know, you could use these to trick the Grunt into giving the TM back. What say you?"

"Good. Anything to get these people's possessions back to them." Ash changed into the uniform and headed out with Serena. "You there. The Boss has orders for you to hand the TM to me and head back to Celedon City."

"Who are you?" The Grunt asked.

"Do you not recognize an Executive when you see him?" Ash pointed to the Executive patch.

"I highly doubt you're an Executive kid."

Ash grabbed May's PokéBall from his belt. "Your insubordinate tongue will cost you dearly!" He threw May's PokéBall and she came out, using Flamethrower immediately. The Grunt ducked in cowardice and crawled to Ash.

"OKAY! OKAY! HERE'S THE TM! DON'T TELL THE BOSS PLEASE!"

"I knew you would see things my way. Now, get back to base and I won't report you."

"Yes sir…" he quietly said as he ran off. Ash took the TM back into the house where the couple were sitting.

"Thanks kid but you go ahead and keep it," said the Hiker. "I'll try and teach my Diglett Dig by raising it."

"Oh, thanks so much," Ash said.

"I'm very impressed with how you fooled that Rocket Grunt, Ash," Officer Jenny told him. "Have you thought about going undercover?"

"A bit yes. I hope I can help in the future."

"Keep up the good work." She saluted him and rode off with her Growlithe in the side car of her motorcycle.

"Ready to head to Vermillion?"

"Ready when you are Ash," Serena said as they headed down Route 5. Hours later, they arrived and started heading to the St Anne where the party that he got a ticket from Bill for was being held. "Ash, Gary's here too." Serena pointed and they made their way to him and Misty.

"Well Ash," Gary said as he saw them. "Seems like you got invited too huh?"

"Yeah," Ash replied. "Bill gave me his ticket."

"Cool. I also see you caught your fifth Pokémon."

"Yeah. Come out May." He released May from her PokéBall. She also latched herself to Ash's arm.

"Wow, she seems attached to you already."

"She seems to like me a whole bunch. Guess it was all the training we've done." Both he and Gary chuckled a bit.

"Wanna go to the battlefield nearby?"

"Sure. Lead the way." Gary led them to a nearby battlefield and they started battling. Not much was different since it was like the battle from last time except instead of Bethany, May participated for more battle time.

"I swear Ash, you always seem to be ahead of me for power levels these days."

"And here I thought you'd beat me this time."

"That was a superb battle I must say," said an elderly voice which happened to belong to the captain of the St Anne. "How would you like to learn Cut? You will need it to get to Vermillion Gym."

"May, are you up for it?"

"Of course Ash," May replied.

"Okay." Ash took the Hidden Machine that the Captain had and opened it over May's head. The white sparkles absorbed into her body and she soon learned Cut. "Let's head to Vermillion Gym for our third Badge." They headed out and the ship set sailed. 5 minutes later, they were inside the Gym and figured out the Trash Can Switch Puzzle to get to Lieutenant Surge.

"Wow kid," said the military officer who had his blonde hair partially buzzed and was wearing a green cameo suit with black worker boots. "You certainly know your way around a hard puzzle."

"Heh, it wasn't too difficult."

"Confident are we? Even with a Pikachu? A Pokémon like that is nothing more than a girlfriend."

"Why don't you battle Serena and find out?"

"Fine. Go Raichu!" Surge threw his PokéBall and your typical Raichu came out. "Use ThunderBolt!" Raichu launched a bolt of lightning at Serena but she just stood there smirking. "What?! That was my Raichu's most powerful move."

"Apparently you've never met a Pikachu with the LightningRod Ability Surge."

"IMPOSSIBLE!"

"Serena, give that idiot a real ThunderBolt!" Serena smirked and nodded at Ash after he gave her his orders. She launched a now powered up ThunderBolt at Raichu and fainted him instantly.

"Well expect the unexpected. As proof of your victory, a Thunder Badge." He pulled out a Starmie shaped badge with yellow instead of purple around the edge of the red jewel core.

"Thanks for not being a sore loser Surge." For the rest of the night, he stayed at the Pokémon Center to celebrate his victory against 2 gym leaders and sleep off his migraine as his journey continues.
