Don't worry, those wondering what Team Rocket wants with Reena, you'll see; and don't worry about them confessing how they feel, it'll happen.
The next day, the gang set out and walked into a deep forest. No, Ritchie didn't tell Ash who he liked but he was able to chase him until Ash accidentally tripped and fell into a pond.
After about an hour of walking through this really big forest,
"We're lost aren't we?" Misty asked,
"Yup, we're lost," said Brock while looking at the map and everyone moans.
"Now what do we do?" Ash asked,
"How about you prepare for trouble?"
"Oh it better not be Team Rocket again," said Reena afraid to turn around to look.
Everyone was sure it was those 3 goofballs but when the motto was different (I forgot their version of the motto), Reena got scared.
"Ah! It's Cassidy and Botch!" she cried when she saw them riding on this machine (kind of looks like the machine in Poke'mon 4Ever),
"It's Butch!" Butch corrected.
"You know them?" Misty asked,
"Well, uh, sort of," said Reena stumbling over her words.
"Hey! You're the ones that tried to steal Lugia!" Ritchie pointed at them.
"They WHAT?" Reena exclaimed.
"What do you guys want?" Ash asked angrily of course.
"Oh that's easy (Cassidy points to Reena), and I'm sure she knows," said Cassidy.
Reena looked worried-scared and starts backing up,
"Um, sorry guys, but (turns around and run) I'll have to see guys you later I got to run!" she cried while running with Vulpix right behind her.
"Get her, Houndoom!" ordered Cassidy.
"You too Hitmontop!" Butch ordered as well.
"Oh no you don't! Cruz go!"
"Corsola! Help us out too!"
"Let's go Crobat!"
And their Poke'mon appeared.
"I'll find Reena," said Ash.
"No you're not!" said Cassidy and stopped him with their machine.
"Forget those distractions, Houndoom, get that girl!" Cassidy ordered and pointed to the direction where Reena ran.
"You too Hitmontop!"
Those two quickly took off after Reena and quickly caught up too.
"Oh no, they're gaining…" then Reena quickly reached for her Poke'ball,
"Go PikaG, stop them!" and she tossed it behind her and her Pikachu appeared.
"You know what to do! And find Ritchie and the others after this!" called Reena as she continued running.
"(Poke'mon language) Yeah, yeah, I know! I'll take care of these guys now problem. Find Ritchie? Yeah right, who's going to protect you?" said PikaG ready to rumble.
Vulpix got a sweat drop,
"Typical of him," she said still right by Reena's side.
Ash and co. tried to keep up with Team Rocket but riding on a machine gives them some big steps.
They sent Noctowl, Happy, and Crobat to fly ahead.
"What did Team Rocket want with Reena?" Misty asked worriedly,
"I wish I knew," said Ritchie.
"Whatever they want, our Poke'mon will help protect her when they find her," said Brock,
"Yeah," said Ash.
Then they saw their Poke'mon flying back towards them from North east (they were going North).
They were burned by a fire attack and they turned their heads where they came from
"That way?" Ash asked and they nodded.
"Thanks Noctowl,"
"Take a rest Happy,"
"Don't worry, Crobat, I'll nurse you as soon as I can," said Brock.
They reached the edge of the forest and saw Reena trapped. Behind her, the edge of a cliff, in front of her, Team Rocket and their Poke'mon.
"Why does everything happen to me around cliffs? If only my elbow wasn't misplaced; then I could run faster," said Reena.
"Pika Pi!"
"Huh? Sparky, Pikachu,"
They both went in front of her with PikaG ready to help.
"Tell us now! Or your Vulpix gets it!" Butch threatened reminding Reena as Vulpix stays helplessly in a fireproof container.
"And you three Pikabrats better not interfere either," said Cassidy.
Reena didn't know what to do.
"Corsola! Spike Cannon now!"
"Corsola! Cors!"
Team Rocket almost fell off the machine they were riding on by that surprised attack.
"Hey!" Cassidy cried.
"Give back her Vulpix!" Ritchie demanded,
"Yeah right, kid," said Butch.
"And if you guys attack, her Vulpix will pay the price! And call back your Pikachu or else!" said Cassidy showing them Vulpix.
Ash and Ritchie called back their Pikachu.
"Oh man," said Brock.
"What do we do now?" Misty asked worriedly.
"Hey, (Ash takes her hand) everything's going to turn out fine, you'll see," said Ash, very confident.
Misty felt a bit better knowing someone believes that,
"Alright, I'll try not to worry myself so much. Thanks Ash," she said in a gentle voice.
"Oh no problem!"
"Can you two please help me figure out a way to save Reena?" Ritchie almost shouted at them.
Reena is getting closer to falling to her doom as Team Rocket draws more near,
"There's no where to run; now you can either tell us everything know now, or come with us and tell us everything there. Don't worry, we won't need you afterwards," said Cassidy,
"I'm not telling you ANYTHING!" Reena shouted.
"Oh? And what are you going to do? Are you going to risk losing your Vulpix?" Butch asked.
"I don't have much of a choice."
"…What do you want to know first?"
"Tell us the location of Ho-Oh!" Cassidy demanded.
"Ho-Oh?" her friends repeated in confusion.
"As if…go PikaG, run up there and get Vulpix!"
Now that the attention has turned to her Pikachu. Reena took off her bag with her Poke'mon in it and tossed it over to her friends with her left arm.
"Protect my Poke'mon!" she shouted; then turned around and jumped off the cliff.
"REENA!" her friends shouted
PikaG was running circles around Team Rocket and their Poke'mon and head butted Vulpix's container so that it falls off and Brock caught it.
"Zippo! Flamethrower now!"
"Charmeleon!" he used flamethrower and heated up the machine.
"Corsola! Water Gun!"
Water gun hits where it was heated and it cracked the machine.
"Now Pikachu!"
"Now Sparky!"
"Send them blasting off again!"
"Pikaaaaaaaaaachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!"
"This was all your fault! Why didn't you grab Reena while I took care of that annoying Pikachu!" Cassidy complained.
"Me? Why didn't you do that?" Butch bit back.
"We'll get her, after all, we know she's alive," said Cassidy before they went out of sight.
"Reena!" Ritchie called but all he heard was an echo.
"Ho-Oh? Isn't Ho-Oh that Legendary Poke'mon that Morty told us about?" Misty asked,
"Yeah, it was also the one I saw at the beginning of my journey," said Ash.
"You know, I highly doubt that Reena is dead," said Brock.
"How can you be so sure?" Misty asked,
"When Reena jumped off, she didn't look scared or worried. She looked like she knew exactly what she was doing," Brock exclaimed.
"So... you think she's okay?" Ritchie asked very worried.
"Well let's hope that," said Brock.
Misty noticed how Ritchie almost overreacted when Reena was in trouble and how worried he was when Reena jumped off the cliff side.
"I wonder if he likes her back," she thought.
Ritchie noticed how Ash and Misty are…getting closer, then felt his heartbeat beat faster when he thought about himself and Reena.
Reena fluttered her eyes open. She realized she was still in a forest when she looked around.
"Wow, I'm really alive," she said and sat up.
"Hey, my arm," she looked at her arm which was completely healed.
"Bi! Bi!"
Reena looked straight ahead,
"Celebi? Did you save me this time? Did you heal my arm too?" Reena asked.
Celebi playfully flew over to Reena and judging by the happiness Celebi had, it was a yes.
"Well, thanks Celebi, but you better get out of here. Team Rocket is still after me so go to another time to hide yourself, okay? Sorry I can't play with you," said Reena as she petted Celebi.
"Bi…" Celebi said sadly,
"Sorry, but to protect you and everyone else, I have to make sure you and the other Legendary Poke'mon stay away from greedy people like Team Rocket, especially Ho-Oh," said Reena as looked to the sky.
"Bi?"
"I'll be fine, I have human friends now," said Reena.
Celebi nodded and started going through time again.
Reena sighed,
"Maybe I should've asked Celebi to help find my friends first," she said and started walking.
"Lets see…"
She stopped walking, closed her eyes and let her conscience take her through her bright green eyes which shows her the location of every legendary Poke'mon.
"Ho-Oh's okay, Suicune's okay, Mewtwo is still in that same place…" she continued mumbling.
"Raikou's in this forest?" she asked herself and looked around.
"Maybe Raikou can help me," she thought.
And sure enough, the legendary Poke'mon Raikou appeared before her.
"Long time no see, Raikou. Can you do me a favor and help me find my friends?" she asked andhe nodded letting her ride on his back.
After a few minutes of searching, Reena heard her name.
Her friends were calling her name as they walked.
"There, you can drop me off behind them, Raikou," said Reena.
Raikou lets her off,
"Behave yourself and don't get into trouble you hear?" Reena warned.
Raikou nodded and did a big roar scaring her friends to death.
"What was that?" Misty asked frightened as she went behind Ash.
"Why don't you go check it out, Ash?"
"Me? Why me?" he asked.
"I'll go see what it was," said Ritchie.
"I'll come too," said Brock.
"Hey, wait for me," said Misty.
"Hey! Aren't we supposed to be going the other way?" Ash asked as he jogged up to them.
"Pika Pi,"
"Pikachu," said Pikachu and Sparky as they kept up with their trainers.
Then Raikou left.
Reena continued forward to catch up to her friends.
But then she tripped on a big tree's root and started tripping over herself and fell right on top of Ritchie when she surprised him on accident.
Sorry, you'll have to find out about their reactions next chapter. If you're wondering how she fell on top of him: You know how the ground is never actually flat? It's bumpy here and there especially in forests. Reena was walking a bit upward and when she tripped, she was falling downward where Ritchie was ready to head up. (No it's not a hill) Plus, she surprised him, since she sort of popped out of a bush before she fell on him. And if something like that happened to you, most likely you'll fall backwards and that's what happened to Ritchie. Confusing I know, but it's hard to describe it. But Please R and R.
