Disclaimer: Saffron is my character, everything else is not mine.
Our heroes have finally arrived in Seaton and have located the Pokemon Center with no trouble. They have already given their pokemon to Nurse Joy so she could make sure they are alright.
Brock had notice Saffron handed a bag to Nurse Joy. "What are those, Saffron?" he asked her.
"They are the rest of my pokemon." Saffron told them.
"You have other pokemon?" Ash asked. "I thought you didn't want to be a trainer."
"I didn't" Saffron responded. "But when I decided I had to leave I thought I should probably have a team of Pokemon, just in case."
"So what do you have?" Misty asked her.
"Well, I have a Natu, Kadabra, Hypno, Haunter, and.well, I only have five so far. Including my Mew." She said.
"You're a psychic trainer." Brock said. Saffron nodded.
Misty suspected Saffron was lying about having only five pokemon but chose not to press it for the time being.
"I'd like to get Natu, Kadabra, and Haunter to evolve, but I don't think I have them trained well enough for it." She added.
"Now might be a good time to try to evolve them." Nurse Joy told them as she returned the pokeballs to each of the trainers. "They are having an evolution fest downtown. You can trade and everything."
"Sounds good, I think we should check it out." Ash said.
"We can get in valuable training too." Misty added.
Saffron took her pokeballs. "Let's do it!"
****************************************************************
On the roof of the Pokemon Center Team Rocket members Jessie, James, and Meowth heard them Nurse Joy tell them about the evolution fest.
"This could be our chance to nab all sort of cool pokemon." James said.
"We can take them all to the boss and get a big reward." Meowth said.
"With so many pokemon, we could even take a few for our own personal army." Jessie pointed out.
"Yeah." Meowth agreed.
"Let's do it." James said.
*****************************************************************
The four trainers made their way to the evolution fest.
"I think we should release all of our pokemon so they can see what's going on." Saffron said.
"I think it's a good idea." Ash said, then reached for all of the pokeballs on his waist. "Come on out, Cyndaquil! Totodile! Bayleaf! Noctowl!"
"Okay Staryu! Poliwhirl! Corsola! Psyduck!" Misty called, throwing her pokeballs.
Brock followed suit. "Geodude! Pineco! Crobat! Come on out, guys!"
Saffron took out four pokeballs and threw them, "Alright, come on out guys! Haunter! Natu! Hypno! Kadabra!"
It didn't take long before they all attracted attention. Brock got into a conversation about breeding with some guy while Misty discussed beauty treatments with another girl.
Saffron turned to see Ash. He was using his Bayleaf to battle a Golem.
"Razor Leaf!" Ash called.
Golem avoided the attack and it's trainer called out, "Body Slam attack!"
"Dodge it!" Ash commanded, and Bayleaf did so. Then Bayleaf launched a Vine Whip, which wrapped around Golem, and Bayleaf lifted it up and slammed it into the ground, knocking it out.
"Good job, Bayleaf!" Ash exclaimed and ran to congratulate his Bayleaf.
"Not so fast, kid." The guy said. "Go Nidoking!"
Nidoking was released and he looked at Ash and Bayleaf.
"Okay, Kadabra. Take care of Nidoking." Saffron commanded, looking beside her.
Kadabra nodded and teleported from by her side to right in front of the Nidoking, and then used Psybeam, paralyzing Nidoking.
Ash looked to his right. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" he commanded.
Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder to give it momentum and then released a thunderbolt on Nidoking, and it fainted.
The trainer recalled Nidoking and ran off.
"Are you okay?" Saffron asked as she came beside him.
"Sure, we're fine. Aren't we guys?" Ash asked, looking at Pikachu and Bayleaf.
"Pikachu." "Baybay."
Saffron then looked to see her Kadabra coming toward her, but it showed no sign of evolving. None the less she smiled and said, "Good job Kadabra."
Suddenly a plane was heard, and they all turned in time to see a net sweep out and snatch all of the pokemon, including Mew and Pikachu.
"My pokemon!" a woman yelled out, staring at a Slowbro and Slowking.
"Who's responsible for this?" asked a man.
"I bet I know." Ash said, clenching his fists as Misty and Brock came to his side.
"Prepare for trouble."
"And make it double."
"To protect the world from devestation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie!" "James!"
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight."
"Meowth, that's right."
"Team Rocket! I knew it!" Brock said.
"Give us back those pokemon!" Ash called out.
"Never, we got them all and nothing will change that." Jessie said.
Saffron pulled out a pokeball, confirming Misty's suspicion. "You don't have this one." She called out to them.
"What could you possibly have that we don't already. Including your Mew." Jessie taunted.
"Let's get out of here." Meowth said.
"I don't think so." Saffron said and threw her pokeball into the air. "It's all up to you!"
The pokeball opened to reveal the last thing anyone expected to see. A Celebi.
"What?" Ash gasped. "It's a Celebi."
"How?" Brock asked.
"I lived near a forest, and I noticed this pokeball on the shrine on my way out of town, and I knew it wasn't there the night before. I try to keep it secret, but this is more important." She explained to her three friends and then looked at Celebi. "You know what to do."
Celebi floated up to the plane.
"It's a Celebi." Meowth said. "Another one of them legendary pokemon."
"Let's nab it then." Jessie said.
"Roger." James acknowledged and then veered the plane toward Celebi. It continued right toward them and then used a Razor Leaf attack to cut the net. It freed the pokemon.
"Mew, it's your turn!" Saffron called out.
Mew formed a protective bubble, which caught all of the trainers pokemon and lowered them gently to the ground.
Ash's Pikachu landed on the head of Saffron's Natu and it then proceeded toward the plane.
"We lost the pokemon!" James cried out.
"Here comes that twerp's Piakchu with that girls Natu. And her Celebi." Meowth observed.
"Then let's capture those three." Jessie said.
"If we can get Pikachu to the plane, we can get rid of Team Rocket." Ash said, turning to Saffron.
She nodded in agreement. "Natu! Fly closer to the plane!" she commanded.
Natu took off toward the plane, Pikachu poised and ready.
"Those two are making this to easy for us." Jessie commented and smiled.
"Now." Misty said.
"Pikachu! Thunder attack!" Ash commanded.
"Natu! Psychic attack!" Saffron commanded from beside him.
"Pika.chu!" Pikachu launched a Thunder attack at the same time that Natu used Psychic.
The Psychic attack shot right at them, paralyzing Team Rocket for the moment it took for Thunder to strike them, which caused the plane to explode and, "Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again!"
"We did it!" Ash exclaimed, high fiving with Saffron just as her Mew brought down each of the pokemon to safety.
"Saffron, look!" Misty exclaimed, and they saw Natu flying toward them with Pikachu on it's head. But then Natu began to glow.
"It's evolving!" Brock pointed out excitedly.
Natu got bigger, it's wings flaring. When the glowing was done and it landed with Pikachu, Natu had evolved into Xatu.
Ash took out the pokedex and pointed it at Xatu. "Xatu, the Mystic Pokemon." Dexter informed, "Evolves from Natu. It is said Natu stays quiet and still because it is seeing into both the past and the future."
"That's so cool." Misty said, smiling at Saffron. "I'm glad you are on our side."
Saffron went over and hugged her Xatu as Pikachu went over to stand on Ash's shoulder. "That was great Xatu."
****************************************************************
"I can't believe we failed again." James said, sitting on the ground depressed.
"Who would have thought that girl would have both a Mew and a Celebi." Meowth added. "The boss will love those."
"We'll capture them all." Jessie said.
They heard a noise and turned to see a herd of Tauros heading toward them.
"I have a bad feeling about this." James commented.
"Hang on." Meowth said.
*****************************************************************
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Saffron hung out in the Pokemon Center until morning when they could continue their journey. They had all of their pokemon out with them.
"Well, I may not have gotten Kadabra to evolve, but I did just as good." Saffron said as she put her hand on Xatu's head.
"Congratulations, Saffron." Ash said, resting his hand on Bayleaf's head.
"We'll have to battle sometime." Saffron said.
"Yeah." Ash agreed.
"Now that should be a good fight." Misty said, and Brock nodded in agreement.
To be continued.with Parallels.
