I do not own Pokemon or anything to do with. I also do not own any of the characters, only Ned Lancelot, Anna Maxwell, Andrew             Patterson, and the names Ashley and Katie.

Last time: Ashley told his dad and Misty what had happened during his capture, Clea revealed that she was dating Ned and Anna and Andrew grew wary about Cleas motives

When a path takes 2 ways

Chapter 5: Finding out some home truths

(Ashley dashed down the corridors, trying not for the security cameras that would spot him. Frustrated he dashed into the canteen where he could see Anna and Andrew having a polite conversation)

"Anna" he panted "Andy"

"Ashley" Anna looked puzzled "What are you doing here" she walked over to him and shut the canteen door. She then sat down on one of the chairs

"Its Ash" he panted "I want you to help us against him. I know that Ned is up to something and we need as much help as we can get"

(Anna looked shocked)

"I know its going against Team Rocket but there is no one else we can trust" Ashley pleaded with Anna "And I know that you aren't bad, not really"

"Well" Anna paused

"I think we should do it" Andrew walked over to Ashley "Anyway what is Ned going to do, kill us. He would have done that months ago" he smiled

(Anna grinned with relief)

"Come on" Andrew walked over to a secret passageway "I know where we can go where we can wait for a bit"

(Anna, Ashley and Andrew walked into the passageway)


(Misty and Brock were waiting for the safe return of Ashley)

"I hope he hasn't been captured again" Misty bit her lip

"Calm down" Brock placed a hand on Misty shoulder "Ashley will be fine"

"You said that about Ash and look where he is" Misty trembled. Tears began to rain on her face

(Suddenly Brock could spot Anna, Andrew and Ashley racing down the corridor)

"There they are" Brock spoke aloud

(Anna dived into the ramp where Misty and Brock were stood, following her was Ashley and Andrew sealed the door)

"Took you long enough" Brock glared at his son

"Yeah well, she" Ashley glared at Anna "Wouldn't trust me"

"Calm down you 2" Misty glared at Anna "We don't need a fight, not now"

"She's right" Andrew managed a wry smile "We need all the help we can get"

"Come on" Brock muttered "Its time"


(Meanwhile in the Team Rocket Headquarters Ned was busy getting ready for battle)

"Is he ready yet Clea?" he asked his girlfriend

"Yeah" Clea smiled evilly "His girlfriend won't know what has hit him" she cackled

"Good" Ned nodded softly "Come in Son" he called

(Ash walked in all dressed in black with Pikachu who had red eyes, walked in. His eyes had a motionless expression on his face)

"Son it is time" Ned talked to Ash

"Yes father" Ash murmured

(Anna, Andrew, Misty, Brock and Ashley walked nearer and nearer to the Team Rocket Headquarters where the battle was going to take place)

"So" Ned said walking over to them "We meet again"

"What have you done with ash" Misty walked over to Ned

"You soon see" Ned smirked with Andy didn't like

(Suddenly Ned grew angry)

"You traitors" he said walking past Ashley, Misty, and Brock to Anna and Andrew "You went over to the other side, That means that you will never will be allowed in Team Rocket again"

"Well what happens if we wont get chucked out, we quit" Anna threw her uniform on the floor and walked away

(Andrew did the same)

"So down to 3" Clea smirked

"Who are you anyway" Misty asked, "Why do you enjoy ruining peoples lives?"

"We don't enjoy it we are ecstatic" Clea smiled evilly 

"Anyway enough with the messing" Ned replied "Lets battle. Come on out Ash" he called to Ash

(Ash walked out onto the battlefield, glared at Misty who had tears streaming down her face, then proceeded to retrieve his Poke balls)

"Come on" he looked at Misty and Brock "Who of these runts wants to battle me first"

"I will" Brock stepped forward

"Be careful Brock" Misty whispered

"Don't worry" Brock nodded "I will!"

"3 on 3" Clea called out "Prepare for Battle1"

(Anna and Andrew were waiting for Andrew to make a phone call)

"Be careful Andy" Anna muttered

"Don't worry I will be" Andrew replied

(Andrew phoned a number and waited for it to dial)

"Jessie" he said "Its Andy. We need yours and James help"

(After a few seconds Andrew put the phone down)

"Well" Anna replied

"They said they will come" Andrew answered

"Good" Anna blew a sigh of relief "We weed all the help we can get

(Andy nodded)

Next time

Will Brock be able to beat Ash in the battle?

Will Jessie and James come in time?

And if so will Ned remember them
