Author's Note: You'll notice that some of the scenes are taken from episodes of Pokémon. I know that they are not true to the actual episode, but we had to change them to make them work for the story, as key elements of the story take place in these scenes. Also, the Senshi and Generals' retelling of what happened in the final battle is completely fictional.

Misty decides to take her Psyduck to a new salon that has recently opened to get a makeover done on it. She arrives at the salon and discovers a large crowd of people waiting to bring their Pokémon inside. After only a few minutes, however, she is the only one left. Everyone has gone to Susie's shop to see the seminar on Pokémon care. Misty and Psyduck enter the salon. Jessie, James, Lead Crow and Aluminum Siren have opened the salon to steal rare Pokémon.

After giving Misty a makeover, Meowth blows their cover. They tie Misty up while Psyduck runs to get help. Several minutes later, the Senshi, Brock, Misty, Ash and Susie return to the salon. A battle promptly ensues.

Usagi sends out Pikachu and Chibi Usa sends out Ditto. "Pikachu, thundershock." "Ditto, transform into Pikachu." Ditto transforms. "Ditto, swift attack."

James says, "Koffing, sludge attack." Ditto is taken out of action, as it is blinded by the sludge.

"Ekans, poison sting attack," Jessie commands. Usagi's Pikachu is poisoned.

Usagi and Chibi-Usa call their Pokémon back. As they try to figure out which Pokémon to send out next, Susie says, "I'll handle this one, guys. Vulpix, go!" She sends out Vulpix. "Vulpix, quick attack." Vulpix hits both Ekans and Koffing. "Vulpix, fire spin." A tornado of flames shoots from Vulpix's mouth and engulf Ekans, Koffing, Jessie, James, Meowth, Lead Crow and Aluminum Siren and sends them flying off into the sky.

Michiru says, "Wow, Susie, Vulpix sure has a lot of power."

Brock says, "That's right. A cute exterior hides tremendous inner strength. It's not the Pokémon's appearance that's important, it's what's inside the Pokémon. If you worry about their outer beauty, the Pokémon's inner strength will be lost." Everyone who had taken their Pokémon to Salon Rocket began to pull off all the decorative items and clean off the paint. Back at Susie's shop, she decides to give her Vulpix to Brock. "Susie, I can't take your Vulpix."

"Brock, I still have a lot to learn and it wouldn't be fair to Vulpix to keep it here. Vulpix could go so much further by being with you. Besides, Vulpix really likes you, Brock."

"All right, Susie. I'll take Vulpix." Susie hands Brock Vulpix's Pokeball. "Vulpix, return!" Vulpix goes back into its Pokeball and Brock says, "All right! I got Vulpix!"

Meanwhile, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter are with Kunzite, Jedite, Zoicite and Nephrite. Venus says, "What happened to the four of you that you turned on us in the Silver Millennium?"

Kunzite replies, "Beryl took notice of us and one day, while we were training, she came down to our training grounds and defeated us. Once we were defeated, she brought us to the Negaverse and brainwashed us. After we were awakened as her Generals, we were charged with the mission to destroy the Silver Millennium. To do that, we had to first destroy the guardians of the empire, the Sailor Senshi. That also mean that we had to destroy the ones we loved."

Zoicite says, "Ami, immediately after I killed you, my true self came through. I realized that I had just murdered my true love and I couldn't deal with it. So, I committed suicide while the real me was still in control."

Nephrite picks up, "Mako, you and I managed to come to a stalemate. We were both injured and used our last bit of strength and energy to destroy the other. You know, prior to our brainwashing, I was going to propose to you. Our Prince and your Princess were soul mates, as were the rest of us. It was foretold in the stars that we would marry much like our leaders, Serenity and Endymion, making their guard all that much stronger."

"Nephy, I knew when you came to me that you weren't yourself. I knew that I would die that night. I vowed not to let you near Serenity, meaning I would have to kill you before you killed me. It broke my heart to be forced to kill the one I loved, but I had vowed to always protect my princess, so I had to choose between my lover or my Princess. I chose my princess. I'm sorry, my love," Jupiter finishes in tears.

"Darling, I understand," Nephrite says as he goes over and takes Mako in his arms to comfort her.

"Rei, I was ready to kill you that night, but you got me first. You got me with a flaming arrow to the heart and ended my existence. I was grateful for that. You prevented me from having to kill the one I loved, right down to my soul."

"Jed, after I defeated you, I used my psychic powers to see who was still alive. It turns out that Venus and Kunzite and I were all that remained of the Senshi and Generals. Serenity and Endymion, Queen Serenity, Luna and Artemis were the only survivors on our side. Beryl had seen to that. In a split second, I teleported myself to Venus' side, to aid her against Kunzite. He took me out in one shot, but I managed to wound him before I died," Rei says.

"When Mars went down, I rushed to her side. I held her in my arms as she took her final breaths. I vowed to avenge her, even by taking the life of my one and only love. Our battle of magic went on for several minutes and we ended up dead even. We finished our battle with swords. It was an even more difficult contest then the one of magic, as we were both skilled with a sword. We ended up close to Beryl, Serenity and Endymion. As Kunzite dealt me the fatal blow, I dealt one to him as well. I used my love and beauty shock without him knowing until it was too late. I was able to die knowing that I had prevented the Generals from destroying my Princess."

"As soon as I dealt Venus the fatal blow, my true self took over. I ran over to her and took Venus in my arms, professing my love to her a thousand fold. She told me she understood why I was doing this, but she couldn't let me get to the Princess. I told her that I understood and I was ready to die. Mars had wounded me and so had Mina-P. She used the last of her strength to destroy me. You defeated us and then Beryl destroyed Endymion, Serenity and the rest of the kingdom."

"So when Usagi-chan, Mamoru-san and Queen Serenity brought you back, they healed you entirely?" Ami asks.

"Yes, my love, they did," Zoicite replies. "The four Generals that you see standing before you are the four Generals that the Princess' Royal Guard fell in love with more than a thousand years ago."

Each of the Generals goes over to his counterpart Senshi and embraces her. Each couple sits down and talks. "Mina-P, tell me about your life since I last saw you."

"Well, I'm in my second year of high school and I'm still single. I'm always on the go, because of not only being a Senshi, but also because I'm always with the girls and my other friends. I'm also actively playing volleyball again."

"I don't believe that such a beautiful young woman like yourself hasn't got a boyfriend."

"I guess I was saving myself for you, Kunz. Without you, I'm not complete."

"I love you, too, Mina-P."

A short time later, the Senshi and Generals rejoin the rest of the group. Misty says, "You guys need to get some regular clothes to wear so you don't stand out so much." They head to a department store and the Generals pick out clothing and something for each of the Inner Senshi.
