Disclaimer: A late breaking story, an American youth does not own pokémon. In other news he does own the plot and some of the ideas here in. The setting and Billie belong to Dragoness. And now for the weather…

To the reviewers:

Alex Warlorn: I'm not sure what's wrong. I am pretty sure I have avoided Mary Sues but I might be wrong. As for being clearer, I know I have a tendency to over explain things, so in the interest of being short or some such I tend to explain everything once. If I try to do summaries of prior chapters I get to rambling. Also if it is using other characters as the focus for a chapter it is mostly in the interest of character development. I hope that clears anything up…

Dragoness: I do suppose it was kinda of late to get ice cream. ^_^;; Billie-tachi will be getting into some trouble, but not the kind you may be expecting. Also I'm glad you are having fun reading this. I know I had fun writing this chapter. (No more writer's block!) This chapter may have a familiar scene in it. So watch for it.



The team rocket base was in an uproar. A prisoner got clean away. In the panic and the frantic searching, one man was completely calm. This young man just walked past rushing rockets. He walked to a room and calmly opened the door. Inside several rockets where using PCs. The man walked past them all and sat down on an empty one. After logging on to the Rocket's search engine he entered in some commands. After a few minutes he had found what he was looking for.

(So what if he escaped. I know where he is going; now all I have to do is wait…) he thought. And in the depths of darkness Meyer laughed.

Pokémon Oaked Styled Vision 12: Homecoming

Professor Oak was in his lab also searching the nets. It had been an entire day, but he was having no luck finding anything suspicions. The security records had been expertly hacked and any video from the outside of the house was doctored. If hadn't been there, he would never have known that there had been a kidnapping.

(It's no use. All that added security and still something like this happens with out a trace of the culprits,) The Professor thought. As he sat back from the screen to consider his next move Brock entered the room.

"Any luck?" The inspiring breeder asked.

"None. The footage from the security cameras outside the houses has been tampered with. I still have no clue what happened to Ash, Pikachu or Smoochum," He answered.

"Sabrina said that Billie went for a walk, but she never came back. That should have clued us in to something had gone wrong," Brock said self accusingly.

"It wouldn't have mattered with all of the sleep powder they put in the vents," the older man responded. "There was no way of avoiding this without prior knowledge of what was going to happen."

"Still I feel there was something we could have done," Brock said shaking his head sadly. "And Mrs. Ketchum is taking this very badly."

The lady in question was in her son's room. His pikachu was on her shoulder. "You know I really worry about him," she said to the electric mouse.

*I worry too. Especially, since they left us all behind, * Electra said wondering about the fact that she and the other pokémon were not taken as well.

"Do you think something happened to him? I have a feeling that he has changed in some way," Delia said to her as she sat on Ash's un-made bed. Electra jumped next to her and looked at her sadly.

*I just hope he hasn't been hurt. You know that he has a habit of jumping into things and of speaking without thinking, * She said. Luckily Mrs. Ketchum couldn't understand her completely or she would have been even more worried. But as pokémon and human sat reflecting on what happened to Ash, there was a knock on the window. Mrs. Ketchum walked over to the window and she looked out of it. There was no one out there. Opening to look around she was startled by something flying by her in a second. The object, a small fuzzy white cat like pokémon stopped in the middle of the room floating and looking around. Mrs. Ketchum was going to ask it what it wanted, but she noticed it had Ash' hat in its paws.

"Where did you get that hat?" She asked the small pokémon. It looked into her eyes and she noticed the small little zigzag birthmarks under his eyes. "Ash?" She asked not sure what to believe.

*Mom, * He said quietly. *Mom! * He shouted as he flew into her open arms.

"My baby, what happened to you?" Delia asked her son.

*I kind of evolved. But how can you understand me? * He asked back.

"Silly boy, I could understand you no matter what you are. I raised you didn't I? Now let me get a good look at you," Ash's mom said to him. Both parties's let each have a bit of space. Delia took in Ash's new look as he floated in front of her.

*So how do I look? * He asked a bit shyly. He rotated around as she examined him.

"Just fine. In fact you may be even cuter," She said critically. "Now I have to figure out how to get that red haired friend of yours to evolve too. After how can you go out if only one of you can fly?" She mused out load.

*Mommm! * Ash moaned exasperated. *She's not my girl friend. She's just my friend! *

"Right," she said smiling. "But let's tell the others your back. They are at Samuel's place," She said walking to the door.

*But mom… * He started to say.

"No buts. You had everyone worried and it wouldn't be nice if you didn't tell them you were back. Now I'll give you a few minutes as I call every one to tell them we are coming over, then I want you downstairs," She said in a no nonsense tone of voice as she left the room.

(I hope that everyone else reacts like nothing really has changed.) Ash thought as watched her leave.

*Boy you sure have one understanding mom, * Electra said. Ash started since he hadn't noticed that she was there.

*Sure, she's the best. But you're not shocked? * Ash asked her.

*Pokémon evolve all the time, besides I am just happy that your back, * She said jumping down from the bed.

*But I am not a… I mean I'm still… * Ash started when he heard his mom call him.

"Ash come downstairs, we're going to the lab!" she shouted.

*We'll talk later, * she said as she ran out of the open door. Ash just shook his head then flew after her. When they reached the lab Ash floated from under the jacket his Mom was carrying.

"I still don't see why you had to hide under there," Mrs. Ketchum said.

*Mom, you may recognize me as I am, but others might just see a rare pokémon. I don't even now my own attacks so I don't want to deal with that, * Ash said. Mrs. Ketchum shrugged then rang the doorbell. Janine answered the door.

"Hi Mrs. Ketchum, Electra, flying pokémon wearing Ash's hat backward," Janine greeted all of them. "Where's Ash, and why is that pokémon wearing his hat?"

*I'm right here and I'm wearing my hat this way because it is the only way it will fit, * Ash answered her.

"And what does mew mew mewwww mew mew mew mmmew mean? Janine asked even more confused.

[I wonder if I can say that clearer?] Ash projected after a short pause. Everyone including Ash was startled by his ability to use telepathy.

"Ash is that you?" Janine asked looking at the psychic type.

[Yes it's me,] he sent. [I evolved.]

"Whoa! Umm… everyone is in the main lab," Janine said flustered. Ash, his mom, and pokémon moved passed her. She closed the door and shakily followed them. Everyone else was sitting in the main lab. Misty and Togepi were sitting in overstuffed armchair, on her right side, Brock and Professor Oak where sitting on a sofa and Sabrina was sitting on a love seat across from them. They all turned when they others came in to the room. Mrs. Ketchum walked in with Janie next to her and Electra in front of her. Ash was shyly floating behind her.

"So where is he!" Misty exclaimed as soon as they came in to the room.

[Right here,] he sent as he floated from behind her.

"Not funny Ash," Misty said. "Where are you!" she said getting annoyed.

[I'm tell you I'm right here,] he sent floating right in front of her face. [And I'll prove it. Remember the bike shop incident. When I kind of destroyed your custom made bike, the shop, and the entire city block…] the last part of that was quieter. In fact it was the telepathic equivalent of a mumble.

"Yeah that sounds like Ash," Brock said shaking his head.

"Ash!" Misty said jumping up. She ran over to him, and then promptly hit him with her mallet. "That's for trying to get out of paying me back!" She yelled.

[How did I try getting out of paying you back?] Ash said from the ground, rubbing his head.

"You changed yourself so I couldn't immediately recognize you," Misty said walking back to her seat.

"But that doesn't make…" Sabrina started to say but Brock stopped her by interrupting her.

"We were all worried about you," Brock said getting up as well.

Professor Oak got over his initial shock and with a speed belying his age he dash over to where Ash was on the floor and lifting him up and looking at him. "Fascinating! How did you change like that?" He asked examining him.

[I don't really know how I evolved. But Holly said that I have had experiences that no one else had, and that I had some sort of energy,] He sent.

Janine and Sabrina both turned to the sliding glass door and the minute they did it blew off its frame. A butterfree flew in followed by Meyer.

"Hello, I would like to speak to Ash Ketchum," He said calmly. Before anyone could do anything the pokémon he had next to him hit everyone with supersonic. He released his wigglytuff and pulled out a handgun from his side. Before he could do any thing a psybeam hit from behind. Flying in to the room and sliding forward across the ground he smashed into the back of the loveseat. Both of his pokémon turned and say a venomoth floating serenely.

"What? Who?" He said confused. From behind the pokémon Billie walked in to the room. Smiling she looked around the room.

"Did I miss anything?" she asked as her pokémon psychically lifted Meyer's gun off the ground where he dropped it.

"Billie, how dare you betray Team rocket like this?" Meyer asked getting back up.

She shrugged and said, "In a way I'm not. After all aren't we supposed to watch out for our partners? Besides I don't think the boss knows you're here," She said.

"Get her," He ordered both his pokémon.

"I don't think so," Sabrina said releasing her Kadabra. Brock quickly followed suit with his geodude, Misty did the same with her staryu and Janine, not to be outdone, released her spinarak.

"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!" Meyer said releasing his togetic, clefable and azumarill. "Azumarill bubble beam, Wigglytuff rollout, Togetic psychic, and clefable flamethrower!" He ordered.

"Staryu, light screen!" Misty ordered.

[Kadabra, reflect!] Sabrina sent. The two created a defensive wall of shimmering psychic energy. The bubbles, fire and psychic energy bounced off and blasted a hole in the ceiling.

"Venomoth, psybeam" Billie ordered.

"Geodude, rock throw," Brock said.

"Spinarak, Poison sting!" Janine exclaimed. The poison moth fired a beam of psychic energy that stuck wigglytuff out of her rollout by confusing her. She crashed into a shelf. Togetic and Clefable just barely dodged the rocks from Geodude. And Azumarill got hit by the darts from the poison sting, but wasn't poisoned.

"Togetic safeguard, Azumarill Double-edge, Clefable, metronome, Wigglytuff Sing!" Meyer ordered.

"Staryu, thunder bolt" Misty ordered.

[Kadabra psychic on Clefable,] Sabrina sent.

"Venomoth psychic!" Billie shouted.

"Earthquake!" Brock ordered.

"Night shade on Azumarill," Janine said. The normal/flying type created a shield to prevent his teammates from being hit by status conditions. But he was taken out by Misty's water pokémon who fried him black. Clefable was blasted though the wall behind him by the double psychic attack. Geodude prepared to put Wigglytuff away but was put to sleep by a surprise attack from Meyer's butterfree who hit him with sleep powder. That bought Wigglytuff enough time to put Staryu and Kadabra asleep, which took them and Sabrina, who had no time to break off her psychic connection, out of the battle. Azumarill rammed Spinarak but was blasted back from the Nightshade. Butterfree was going to hit Spinarak with a psybeam, but had to dodge one from Venomoth.

"Enough, Gust!" Meyer ordered his butterfree. Spinarak fired off another poison sting that hit Wigglytuff. And Venomoth narrowly dodged the gust attack. Misty pulled out another pokéball but had to duck as Meyer pulled out another handgun from his boot and fired in her direction.

"Call out another pokémon and I promise that the next one won't miss," He growled. Mrs. Ketchum pulled Togepi, who did not understand the danger, from the armchair Misty was sitting on. Holding him close she moved to where Professor Oak was trying to wake up Sabrina.

"Spinarak use string shot and get that gun!" Janine ordered. Her spider pokémon fired out a thin strand of silk, but it was blocked by a fire punch from Wigglytuff.

"Butterfree, supersonic! Wigglytuff, Sing," the longhaired rocket ordered.

"Venomoth, supersonic!" Billie exclaimed. The clamor that followed was deafening. When the noise ended they found Wigglytuff on her back staring at the ceiling. She had been caught between the two supersonic attacks. Meyer recalled his pokémon. Spinarak attempted to attack Butterfree while he was recovering, but he hurt himself in confusion knocking him out.

"Its down to you and me," he said to Billie. "But not for long." He pulled up his gun and fired five shots toward the rocket girl. The five bullets were barely stopped by Venomoth's disable attack. While the pokémon protected his trainer he was open to Butterfree's psychic attack. He couldn't take both the concentration of stopping the bullets and the psychic energy. He and the bullets fell to the ground. Meyer smirked and started to squeeze the trigger again, but a nightshade and a thunderbolt attack fired him and his last remaining pokémon on the battlefield respectively. While Meyer was reeling from the ghost attack, Ash dashed from behind the love seat and grabbed the gun in the rockets hand. He hit Meyer's wrist with his tail as hard as he could. The sudden pain and the mew's tugging allowed Ash to escape with the weapon. As soon as he got away with the weapon blue vines wrapped around the stunned rocket.

"What?" He asked as he looked at the mew hovering in surprise. He was barely able to recall his butterfree, and release his last pokémon. Before he could order his blissey to do anything, the vines squeezed him. Lucky for the gasping rocket his pokémon automatically teleported both them away.

"That isn't good. He got away," Billie said shakily recalling her fainted pokémon. She turned and looked up out of the hole in the roof. "And I thought I told you to wait outside!" She yelled up.

Ms. Ketchum and Professor Oak looked up from where she was trying to wake up Sabrina. Brock walked up to Ash and took the gun from the mew's paws. Janine and Misty walked over to Billie and looked up to see what she was looking at. As soon as they did an Arcanine leapt in though the hole in the roof, followed by a tangela with a pikachu on top, which lowered them both down. But this didn't startle them. What did was what was on the Arcanine's back. What was on the back of the fire wolf was another mew.

[Hi everyone, Gramps,] the mew sent. *I'm home, * He said before falling off Arcanine's back. When Tangela caught him they noticed he had on Gary's pendent and a large amount of bandages inexpertly wrapped on.

"Gary," Professor Oak cried as he ran over to his grandson's side. He picked up the injured Mew and ran into the next room.

(Gary evolved too,) Ash thought in the stunned silence that followed.

The next vision:

A recovering Gary explains where he has been.

Both Mews get a call,

And they both start to learn a bit more about themselves.

And the vision fades to a new concept.
