Chapter 15: Silver Wing
After the Whirl Cup, our heroes decide to head to Silver Rock Isle by request of the Ketchem twins. Nobody knew why. Whenever anyone would ask, they would only have a reply of "just cause."
After visiting with the newly weds Yuriko and Shintaro, they decide to take the underground shortcut. When they come out on Silver Rock, they take the moment to enjoy the scenery.
"Ahh. What a beautiful day." Marie commented.
"Remember what happened the last time you said that?" Andy remarked
"Shut up."

"Hey. What's that?" Ash asked

Our heroes decide to investigate the odd sound coming from a certain direction. They peered from behind a rock and to see a very interesting sight.
"Was there a reunion that we didn't hear about?" Brock joked.
There was Todd Snap taking a picture of three pikachus who looked exactly the same.
"Hey! What's with those Pikachus?" Andy whispered.
"Yeah. How'd they get that weird hairdo?" Marie added.
"It's only one Pikachu." Ash whispered looking at the other two people (who looked exactly alike as well).
"Looks like three to me." Andy whispered.
"Ever heard of a Ditto?"
"Oh."
"How can you tell Ash?"
"Look at the trainers."
Everyone looked past the kid with the camera and saw two red-headed boys wearing the exact same clothing.
"Oh come on. I'm already seeing double with you two." Andy complained in a whisper.
"Looks like Duplica's at it again." Misty commented.
"Who?"
"A Ditto trainer." Brock explained
"That explains the extra Pikachus." Aaron stated
"Hey Richie!" a new voice called
"Hey Oliver! " One of the red-headed boys called back.
A young boy ridding a Lanturn came ridding up to the new trio.
"Have you heard anything?"
"Just Team Rocket's back looking for Silver again."
"Man. And I wanted a picture of a Lugia."
"That's what Todd's doing here." Ash whispered to himself.
Just then, a bunch of people in black came up.
"Prepare for trouble"
"And make it double"
"To infect the world with devastation."
"To blight all peoples in every nation"
"To denounce the goodness of truth and love."
"To extend our wrath to the stars above."
"Cassidy"
"Butch"
"We're Team Rocket, circling Earth all day and night."
"Surrender now, or you'll surly lose the fight."
"Raticate" (That's Right).
"Team Rocket!"
"Grab them."
"Run Duplica!"
The Richie look alike managed to get out of the way. Ash and Co. made it to the fight only to have Aaron, Marie, and Andy kidnapped instead of Duplica. However, no one noticed until the smoke cleared from Team Rocket's get away.
"Have you guys seen Aaron?" Ash said right off the bat.
"Marie and Andy are missing too." Misty said.
"Ash? Misty? Brock?"
Everyone turned to see "Richie".
"What are you guys doing here?" as Duplica removed her "Richie" costume
"Long story." They all answered.
"What are you doing here?" Misty asked
"I met up with Todd. I was traveling with him for a while when he decided to come to Silver Rock Isle to get a picture of Lugia."
"We have to get everyone out of the hands of Team Rocket." Ash stated. "Especially Aaron."
"Why 'especially Aaron'" Misty asked.
"Who's Aaron?" Duplica asked.
As Ash explained the twin situation to her, she looked amazed.
"Twins? Who'd have thought?"
"How are we going to rescue them?"
"I have an idea."
0000
"Where am I?" Aaron asked
"Ash? What are you doing here?" Richie asked.
"And who are they?" Todd added pointing to Marie and Andy.
"First. I'm not Ash. I'm his twin brother, Aaron. Secondly, these are Marie and Andy, my friends. Who are you and how do you know my brother?"
"I'm Richie. I met Ash at the Pokemon League."
"I'm Todd. I met Ash when he was trying out for the Pokemon League."
Richie, Todd, and Aaron talked for sometime about their adventures and were later joined by Marie, Oliver, and Andy.
"I wonder why Team Rocket kidnapped us." Marie said.
Just then, Dr. Namba arrived with Butch and Cassidy to glimpse their captives.
"Well, well, six little trouble makers. However you three seem to be new." He said while pointing at Marie, Andy, and Todd.
"What do you want?" Marie asked
"Lugia. And these kids know where to find it." He said pointing to Oliver and Richie.
Aaron reached into his pocket and held onto an object for dear life keeping his mouth shut.
Just then, a crash was heard in the area and the power went out. Then all of a sudden, a spotlight appeared out of nowhere to reveal someone's, in a white suit, back.
"What's going on?" Dr. Namba asked ferociously.
"I know that uniform" Butch and Cassidy said in unison.
"Prepare for trouble" a familiar male voice rang out.
"And make it double double" another male voice said as another spotlight hit his back.
"To protect the world from devastation." A girl's voice sang out as another spotlight hit her back.
"To ignite all peoples within our nation" another girl's voice came out as a spotlight hit her.
"To denounce the evils of truth and love" the first voice cried.
"To extend our reach to the stars above." The third voice rang.
"Ash" the first voice said as he turned around.
"Misty." The third said doing the same thing.
"And Brock." The second mimicking the first two.
"Duplica. That's right." The last voice said as she did the same.
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light" Brock said.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight all of us." Duplica said her line.
"Pika Pika" (That's right)
"Togeprii"(Yeah)
"You guys have been around Jessie and James too long" Cassidy said with a horrified look on her face.
"Tell us about it." Brock agreed.
"Now are you going to let our friends go or not?" Ash threatened.
"How about not?" Butch said.
"Have it your way Botch." Misty told him.
"THE NAME'S BUTCH!"
"Butterfree! Sleep Powder!" Ash called his old pokemon.
"Freee"(Alright)
Sleep powder hit its mark. All of the Rocket members fell asleep. Ash had Pikachu shock the cage to where the electric lock short-circuited letting the prisoners free.
"When did you get Butterfree back?" Misty asked
"Where did you guys get those outfits?" Aaron asked his brother.
"Bug Catching." Ash told Misty then turned to his brother."Duplica. We'll chat later. Let's get out of here."
But not before Pikachu decided to have a little bit of fun.
0000
After everyone rescued the Pokemon and escaped Team Rocket, Ash explained about Duplica and there personal T.R. Motto.
"It's sad when you've heard something enough times to quote it." Marie said
"Yeah." Everyone agreed
"So why did Team Rocket want you guys?" Brock asked the new quartet.
"I don't know about Todd, Aaron, Marie, Andy and Duplica," Richie said, "but he wanted me and Oliver because he figured we'd know where Lugia is."
"LUGIA?"
Ash looked at Aaron really quick before turning his attention to Marie when she spoke up.
"Oh. I've always wanted to see a Lugia."
"Ash has." Misty told her. "Twice."
Just then, Aaron's pocket started to glow a bright white color. Everybody gave him a look except for Ash. Ash had an amazed look on his face. Aaron reached into his pocket and pulled out a glowing Silver Wing.
"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT!" Marie screamed.
All of a sudden, out of the ocean, three Lugia flew into the air. One was smaller than the other two.
"SLIVER!" Oliver called
Everyone stood gaping except for Todd, who was fiddling around with his camera. He took a quick snapshot of them, and then fainted.
"Three Lugia?" Aaron asked.
Ash smiled as he recognized the extra Lugia.
"Hello Lugia."
'Hello Ash'
"No more telepathy." Andy complained.
"What brings you here?" Misty asked the legendary pokemon from Shamouti.
'Visiting my family. And you, O Chosen One?'
"Training."
"O Chosen One?" Aaron asked his girlfriend.
"Don't look at me."
"But you're the expert."
0000
After a brief chat with Lugia, he and his family left just in case TR showed up.
"Now." Marie stated to her boyfriend, "Where did you get that Silver Wing?"
"I found it a long time ago." Aaron told her.
Flashback
It was a bright sunny day on Route 30. Aaron was walking along the road next to a river with Static right next to him. All of a sudden,
"Poli"(Huh?)
"Wow. What Pokemon is that?"
"Poliwag. The Tadpole Pokemon. The direction of its belly spiral differs by area. The equator is thought to have an effect on this."
"Neat. I have to catch it."
"Poli!"(What!)
As the Poliwag starts to run, Aaron and Static go after it. Static slips and falls into the river.
"STATIC!"
"PIKA!"(AARON!)
Aaron jumps into the river and grabs a hold of Static. Because the current of the water has gotten stronger, it has gotten harder to swim out. However, Aaron tries his hardest and makes it to the shore just before he passes out.
When he wakes up, Static is alright, just shaken up. After Aaron hugs his Pokemon, he looks around and finds a house nearby. (Mr. Pokemon's House from the GSC games). He then looks up and sees a huge rare Pokemon. As the Pokemon flies by, it drops a feather. Aaron catches the feather, examines it, then places it in his pocket before walking to talk to Mr. Pokemon.
End Flashback
"Ok? Now Ash? What's this about a 'Chosen One'?"
"Oh. Just a legend that came true." Ash stated.
"Which one?" Marie asked interested.
Misty decided to answer. "Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which the clash. Though the great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, thus the earth shall turn to Ash."
Marie, knowing legends finished, "Oh Chosen One. Into thine hands bring together all three. The treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea. From the trio of islands, ancient spheres shall you take for between life and death, all the difference you'll make. Climb to the shrine to right what is wrong, and the world will be healed by the guardian's song. THAT LEGEND? WHEN DID IT COME TRUE?"
"Did you guys notice something weird with the weather about two years ago?" Ash asked.
The three nodded.
"That was it?" Aaron asked
"Yep."
"Let me guess. You almost died that time too. Right?"
"Well. If you count plummeting down into freezing cold water on Lugia's back when you've been flying 100 feet into the air after a crazy guy tries to capture the pokemon you're ridding on, and then you're knocked unconscious after impact with the water almost dying, then yes."
"YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THAT!" Brock screamed.
"Weren't you there?" Marie asked.
"I don't want to talk about it."
"He was with you-know-who." Misty answered
"So where to now?" Brock asked changing the subject.
"Olivine City!" Ash and Aaron yelled.
"I think we'll stay here for a while." Todd and Duplica said.
"I need to head to Cinawood City myself." Richie admitted
"Ok. It was great to see you three again." Ash said.
"You too. Nice to meet you three." Todd added.
"Same here." Aaron, Marie, and Andy told them.

Meanwhile,
"THEY GOT AWAY!" Dr. Nambayelled after seeing the empty cage.
"What hit me?" Butch complained
"AAAAGGGGHHHH!" Cassidy screamed after looking in a mirror
Apparently, Pikachu had decided to play Jigglypuff and scribble on everybody's face

Preview for Chapter 16:
"What are you two whispering about now?" Misty turned to the twins.
"Nothing" Ash said
"Pictures" Aaron told her at the same time.
Ash glared at him.
"Pictures?" Misty asked interested.
"Just pictures that were taken during our adventures." Ash said in defeat as he pulled out the album.
"LET'S SEE!" Everyone said crowded around.
