Denneylaw:

In the event that I can't seem to replace my old chapter, or don't know how, my newly revised story will be made here. I would like to apologize just in case my story seems to have been copied off someone else! I just hope it isn't. I hope you enjoy my story.

And so it begins-Chapter I:

It was a beautiful day in the Hoenn region. Ash and the gang were taking a short break from their journeys and sitting down to lunch. "Well guys, I just can't wait to get to Mauville City and win my next badge!" said Ash Ketchum as he pulled off his cap and set it on the grass next to his Pokémon, Pikachu.

"I'd be really happy to win a contest. Maybe in the beauty segment." Mused May. "I know how you feel May, just keep up the hard work and it will all pay off, you'll see." Replied Brock, who was sitting next to her.

"Thanks!" May replied, happy at the boost of confidence from her friend.

Just then, a familiar face greeted them, it was Prof. Oak. "Hi Ash, looks like you're doing well. Who are your new friends there?"

"I'm May and this is my brother Max, nice to meet you!" May replied politely.

"Nice to meet you too! I was just doing research on the Pokémon from Hoenn, have you caught any new Pokémon I could take a look at?" "Oh sure!" replied Ash.

"Here are all of mine, come on out!" he said, sending out his Pokémon for the elated professor. "I must say those look great." he said.

"Want to see all mine?" asked May. She called on all of her Pokémon who were busy eating. "And here are mine!" said Brock proudly, glad to be able to talk to one of his heroes.

"I wish I had some I could show you." said Max with a sigh- he still had to wait two whole years!

"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be old enough for one real soon." said Oak.

Just then, Ash noticed something was wrong with his Pokédex. It was unlike anything any of them had seen before.

"What… the?" Ash started shaking his Pokédex up and down rapidly.

A harmonic female voice came out of it. It was saying "It is time to choose your future, Ash Ketchum. Which will you choose?"

Everyone gasped in shock. How could it have known my name? Thought Ash. Deciding not to think about that yet, he glanced as it had a choice between Yes or No. Ash thought really hard about it and pressed the YES! button.

"Go to Goldenrod train station at 6:45 p.m." the voice said.

"Hey! Professor! Can you get a plane or something to take me back to Johto?" Ash asked happily.

"Don't do it, Ash," pleaded May. "It could be a trap! It could be from Team Rocket- though I must say, Jessie's voice sounds way worse than that." The bush behind her began to rustle- what was wrong with it?

"I don't care; I've gotten in tougher situations than this before." Ash replied stubbornly- typical Ash.

"But-" She started to say. "Don't worry about it, whatever it is, I'm sure we'll get through this, you'll see!"

"Well, I'll see if any of the local police can fly you there, and whatever happens, I hope you'll be careful. I have total confidence in you, good luck." Said the aging professor, happy to see Ash make that decision… somehow?

"Thank you Professor, I will!" Said Ash.

Unknown to the group, a familiar trio was watching from afar. "So, the twerp thinks he can handle anything, eh? Well, we'll see about that. James, are you thinking what I'm thinking? AND HOW DARE THAT OTHER TWERP INSULT MY VOICE!" I could take a look at."

Said a young woman with long red hair. "I think so Jess, but how are we going to get there without transport?" asked a young man with short blue hair. James. Of course.

"Wake up, you idiot, we have our Meowth shaped balloon, remember?!!"

"Oh yeah, I forgot."

"And if they find anything interesting, we'll just nab it for da boss, whatever it is has got to be worth something big." said a talking Meowth. "Watch out twerp, we're coming for you. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!" laughed Jessie evilly.

"Wooobbufffettt."

Wobuffet popped out in front of her, making her fall down. "You stupid blob, never interrupt me when I'm being evil!!" she snapped and quickly called him back in his Pokéball. "Now, where was I, oh yes, ha ha ha ha ha."

"FASTER!" Ash called to his friends, who were running slowly after him.

"Hey, Ash! You're the one who's going too fast!" May replied. Sweat was trickling down her face and into her blue eyes. "And now we are running like a bunch of idiots in Goldenrod train station, waiting for a train…" She was cut short by her little brother.

"May, SHUT UP."

By luck, fate, Lugia or whatever, they all managed to slip into an elevator going down at the last minute. The other occupant of the elevator, though, was someone oddly familiar. He kept his head bowed down, and his eyes were hidden by a pair of sunglasses. The haircut was all too familiar, but Ash, being Ash, was way too dense to recognize him. Two people and a cat dressed in ballet leotards quickly pranced into the elevator at around the same time as Ash and his friends gracefully.

"Which train should I take? Let's see…" Ash looked at the many trains he had to choose from, and wondered which one he should choose. "Come on guys! This one!" he shouted, pointing at a bright red train that resembled a tomato somewhat. The three ballet dancers pranced gracefully into the back of the train after them, humming a horrible tune as they danced their way through. Ash almost threw up.

"Well, this is it, we're finally gonna see what this is all about." said Ash.

"Yeah," said Brock. "I just hope that whoever needs us will explain what's going on."

"Well I say, the sooner we get there, the better, that's what I say." said May.

"Whatever dangers lie ahead, we'll be ready, together."

"Together!" Everyone shouted.

And so they went off on an adventure full of suspense, fear, and mystery that they would never forget
