Tallen's POV

"Ice blast!!"I heard my best friend shout.

I obeyed her command and sent a blast of clear blue ice at the Elecatbuzz before me. It hit dead on, knocking the over bloated pokemon out cold.

"Alright Tallen!!"Kail shout trimphantly,"That's fifty wins, zero losses!!" Her laughter sounded so wonderful after what happened a moth ago with her father.

"No,........how could...........my Electabzz loose...........to a water pokemon."a very shock man stuttered,"That's it!!!". The man pulled four poke'balls out of his pocket,"GO!!"

I jumped back in suprise as a jolteon, a raichu, a flareon and a rapidash appeared before me. I couldn't let Kail see I was scared, butthese pokemon were wrong, they were just wrong. I could tell Storm felt the same way as she flew overhead watching us. Them I realized, she could feel it too, she......she was scared. Immovable, unstoppable, unbreakble Kail, the beast friend I'd know my whole life, the one who I had never seen scared, even when her father was sick, was terrified.

"Those pokemon........they're wrong, they can't be real."I heard her whisper,"Storm!!!! A little help please!!! Tallen's gonna need it."

I could see the fear in her voice, apparently so could this strange black clothed man. His smirk was one of pure evil. strom landed on my back,as scared as I was.

"You are smarter than you look little girl, these pokemon are clones, created with the DNA of mew!!! They cannot be stopped!"

Kail took a step back, I'm not to sure what mew is, but it sounds bad. I'd had enough of this, apparently, so had Storm. She took to the air and hovered above me. I took my chance and fired a clod icy blast at the flareon, only to have it take the full blast, and not even flinch. Storm's Razor Wind did just as much good. Kail's gasp frightened me even more, it wasn't of shock, it was of pain. I spun around, another man had her by the throat. A sudden rush of hot pain shot through me. Everything began to blur. I saw Storm fall to the ground next to me in pain. I heard two bodies hit the ground, one, most likely belonged to my human friend.

"What the..........."Ash said looking over to the side of the road, at first he thought it was just a pile of rocks....

"Ash what is it?"Misty asked following his gaze,"Oh my God!!"

What looked like an old battered pile of rocks, was actually a rocket, with a black and purple dagger embedded in his stomach, a very ragged looking girl, and two pokemon.

"What do you think happened to them?"Brock asked poking the dead rocket with at stick.

"I'm not sure."Misty whispeed putting a hand over the girl's mouth,"She still breathing, those pokemon over there must belong to her."

"Let's get them out of here, Pallet Town is only about two miles away."Ash sighed,"They need help."

"Pikaaa chu"

"Go, Onix!"Brock said thorwing a pokeball nearby.

The huge rock snake appeared in a flash of red light. Brock gently picked up the battered girl and set it on the huge pokemon's head.... Suddenly the bird pokemon that had been laying nearby woke up, it looked around.

"PISHAA!!!"

It tried to get up, and failed. Ash and Pikachu were quickly at it's side.

"Pika pika pikachu pika?"

"Shaa, pisha"

"What is it pikachu?"Ash aasked.

"Pika pikachu pika pika chuu pikacha pi chu."

"What does pikachu say Ash?"Mist asked looking at the odd bird pokemon.

"That girl's name is Kail, she's been taveling for about a month looking for her family. She got in a battle with this strange guy, and started off winning, then he sent out these four pokemon he said they were clones of mew. She didn't catch anymore, she fainted when two of the pokemon attacked her."Ash sighed.

"That's not good, c'mon let's get them outta here."Brock said picking up the battered gorwlithe,"This poor grolithe is so dirty you can't see it's real colors."

"This pidgeotto is the same was."Misty said picking the brown bird up.

Tracey looked up from his sketch of Gary's arcanine as a huge onix came up with a very worried Ash, Misty, and Brock on it's head, along with something else that Ash was trying to keep from falling off. Misty and Brock both had pokemon in their arms.

"Professor, come quick!!"he shouted running Into the pokemon lab, and straight into Professor Oak.

"Tracey, what is it?"the startled professor said.

"Ash......Misty......Brock........heading this way..........something......wong...."Tracey panted.

The two raced outside just as Brock's onix came to a stop infront of the lab.

"Professor..."Ash panted.

"We found this girl....."Brock sighed.

"She's hurt prety bad, she needs help, and so do these pokemon."Misty sghed looknig at the pidgeotto in her arms.

Professor Oak notcied Ash was also holding a dagger, covered in blood.

"And that dagger?"he said flatly.

"There was a guy from Team Rocket with this jammed into his stomach."Brock sighed,"I think it might belong to her."
