Okay, I see that some of you are confussed by what Buson said. Let me expalin: Buson said that he is the Agent Leader, meaning that he is the best out of all Team Rocket members. This explains only part of why he is so confident. Still, he is just a one time charcter, and will be defeated very quickly.

Well, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 16

"You seem shocked just by the ball, but trust me, you will fall!" Buson said. He then threw the ball onto the field.

A gigantic phoenix like creature appeared on the field. Its many feathers reflected the seven colors of the rainbow. It cawed loudly as it appeared on the field.

"Ho-oh?" Ash asked in shock.

"No way!" Said Misty in disbelief.

The three legendary pokemon quickly emerged from the front of the group. They looked to see if it was true. They saw that it was true. The very being that had created them, the one that had sent them on their mission was now under the control of a device that mankind made.

Entei, Raikou and Suicune tried their best to immediately return Ho-oh by telling him things of the past in their own language, but nothing seemed to work. There was no change in the eyes that showed complete darkness.

"I don't get it! First Entei, Raikou and Suicune, then Ho-oh? What's going on here?" Brock asked.

Buson smiled evilly at them. "It is said that when the three special ones are captured, this creature comes to them. However, when he did, his chances of success were dim. Now he is ours for all time. And this didn't even cost me a dime!" He said.

"Man! He really loves to rhyme!" Brock said.

Misty got really angry. She then ran over and hit Brock on the head with her mallet.

"Whoa! That must hurt." Cassidy said, impressed.

"Guess she has issues." Butch said, sweat dropping.

"You still have that thing, Misty?" Ash asked once she was away from Brock.

"Never leave home without it." Misty said proudly.

"Okay, now I tire! Ho-oh, Sacred Fire!" Buson suddenly commanded.

Ho-oh opened its mouth and launched a huge burst of powerful red flames. Suicune got in front and a red aura surrounded it. The flames stopped right in front of it. Despite the advantage that it had against the attack, it struggled to activate its attack. With the power the attack held, it didn't seem to matter. Without looking, the goat like pokemon launched the flames. The attack headed straight for Misty.

"Misty!" Ash cried out.

Misty gasped in great fear as the attack came to her.

From her master's arms, Corsola immediately jumped in front of the attack. The same red aura that surrounded Suicune now surrounded her. Despite the bigger advantage she had, she felt great pain from the power of the flames. With all her might, she launched the attack right to Ho-oh.

The huge phoenix then shot out a stream of flames right at the flames that were coming to it. An explosion emitted from the impact and smoke covered the field. The smoke soon cleared, and Misty runs up to Corsola.

"Corsola! Are you okay?" Misty asked her, but upon touching her, she moved her hand away as she felt pain.

Brock immediately ran over to Corsola and took a look at her. "Misty she's been burned." He said.

"Looks like I got the little tot! Guess things were a bit too hot!" Buson said to them.

"Shut up or I'll make you shut up!" Misty yelled at Buson angrily.

Buson kept quiet.

Brock then took a red spray bottle out of his backpack. He then aimed it at Corsola and sprayed her with the medicine that was in it. Corsola cried out a little as it the special medicine for burns stung her.

"Corsola, it's okay." Misty reassured her. "Just look at me for now."

Corsola looked up at her master, and tears were in her eyes. She hated the feel of the Burn Heal that was being sprayed on her, but looking at her master seemed to keep her mind off the pain. Soon, the contents of the spray bottle were empty, and Corsola was healed of her burns.

The phoenix pokemon eyed the two trainers that were near the coral like pokemon. Seeing the care that the trainers were having for one little injured pokemon seemed to remind it of something. It remembered from its mind the mission it started many years ago. The mission to find a place where human and pokemon could live together in peace.

The eyes that showed the much darkness in its heart returned to a normal green color.

A bunch of black sparks came from the Dark Ball that Buson had. Noticing this, he looked at it. "What the –" He was cut short by the explosion of the ball.

The phoenix pokemon then shook his head. "Wha? What happened? Where am I?" He asked telepathically.

"Great one, you're back to normal." A female voice said, which seemed to come from Suicune.

"Wait a second. I thought that those three couldn't speak telepathically." Said Max.

"They can only do so when I'm speaking to them." Ho-oh said to him. "Now, Suicune, tell me, what happened?"

"You were under the control of what humans call the Dark Ball." Suicune said.

"The Dark Ball?" Ho-oh asked in confusion.

"It is designed to not only make the pokemon powerful, but also make them evil."

"What?" He asked in great anger. "Who used such a thing on me?"

"Um, he's right behind you." Said a male voice, which came from Raikou.

Ho-oh turned around and stared angrily at the man who had blond hair, a gray uniform and sunglasses.

The next thing Buson noticed, he was being hit with attacks coming from all the pokemon that were present. After the attacks were done with him, he coughed out a small puff of smoke and collapsed to the ground.

"Now," Ho-oh said as he turned back around. "Where am I?"

"You are in our secret base." Cassidy said.

"Lead us out, now!" Ho-oh demanded.

Being a bit fearful, they led the way to a door that was right behind Buson. They looked at the door, and it was only eight feet tall.

"Great! I can't fit through that thing!"

"Um, Ho-oh, I think I may have a solution." Ash said.

"What is it, Ash?"

"How? How did you know my name?" He asked in surprise.

"I've been watching you since the day you started your journey. I've seen the many things you have accomplished. I've also seen the friendship you've developed with both humans and pokemon. You'd be surprised with what I know about you."

"Well anyways, I was wondering if you'd like to be my pokemon temporarily?"

"Temporarily?"

"Just until we find the way out of here and into some fresh air. I shall then release you. I promise."

A smile formed on Ho-oh's face. "I will allow it." He said.

"Okay," Ash said as he took out an empty pokeball. "Pokeball, go!" He said as he threw it.

The red and white ball hit the phoenix pokemon. A red beam engulfed the pokemon; it then went inside the ball. It didn't even struggle, and was registered as Ash's first capture as a pokemon master.

He then picked up the ball. "Oh right! I got Ho-oh!" He said in a triumphant tone with himself in a pose.

Buson then got up, completely blackened and burned. He then opened his mouth, but no sound came out of it. He then acted like he was yelling as loud as possible, but there was still no sound present. He put a hand to his throat and pointed to it with his other hand, as if saying something was wrong.

"I think he lost his voice." Cassidy said.

"Hurray! No more constant rhyming!" Misty said happily.

"Sorry Buson, but your plan failed, and now," Ash said, showing him a pokeball. "Ho-oh is mine!" He said with a smirk.

Tears then streamed down his face and he put his hands in his face. He was now very miserable that his plan failed. He was also afraid about what his boss would do to him when he found out.

"Well, Cassidy and Butch, if you value your life, I think you'll lead the way again." Misty said to them.

Without a moment's hesitation, Butch and Cassidy led the way.

In another room, a mysterious figure sees them through another video screen. "They may've stopped that opponent, but they'll never beat the next one." He said with an evil grin.

End Chapter 16

So, Ash now has Ho-oh! However, remember, he will only be Ash's temporarily. Also, if you think this caused a natural disaster of the highest order, it actually didn't.

You see, the exception to catching legendary pokemon is that they won't cause a world-wide disaster if they allow to be caught. Or they are turned evil. As the disaster can only happen if they have the knowledge of it all, and if they are incredably angry, and legendaries don't like being caught.

Anyways, please review.

See ya!
