Rise of Shadow Lugia
Ash gritted his teeth as he and Marnie stood across from the Team Rocket members and their Mega Pokemon. Only now did it truly hit him that he was the only one in the group with Mega Pokemon of his own, he'd definitely need to change that if they were going to regularly come across Mega Pokemon like this!
"Heh, the Ketchum brat found himself a girlfriend. Hope you enjoyed your time with her while you could," Sierra smirked. "You do make a rather nice looking couple."
"I'll be the one to end him, I must ensure the mission is complete at any cost!" Sasuke spoke.
"And leave me dead again?" Domino growled.
"Quiet, we're to work together you hear? No fighting him one on one or displaying codes of honor, we're Giovanni's elite for a reason!" Arlo thrust out his arm with a cool and collected look. "Besides ensuring that Yung captures Lugia is our top priority, ending him is just a bonus."
"Dr. Yung?!" Ash recalled the mad doctor's Mirage Pokemon experiment from back during his Battle Frontier campaign. The man was very cruel, heartless and did some very nasty experiment. No doubt that the Rocket Pokemon appearing to be permanently in their Mega forms was his doing, nobody else would be smart enough or vile enough to pull that off!
"Yes, he remembers you alright. Bullet Punch, Scizor!" The ninja called out.
"Scizor!" Scizor flew across the field, pulling back his arm as he aimed to punch at Ash before a burst of light appeared and Grimmsnarl appeared in his path. Scizor punched Grimmsnarl's stomach, the attack doing quite the noticeable amount of damage as Grimmsnarl grunted out while looking severely weakened from the blow.
"Not this time ya prick of a ninja, Burning Jealousy!" Marnie shouted out. Flames burned within Grimmsnarl's eyes before a heavy flame cast over the rest of his body, the demon Pokemon rushing Scizor and tackling him away while Ash grabbed a hold of two of his Pokeballs.
"Sceptile, Greninja I need your assistance!"
"Sceptile!"
"Greninja!" The two Pokemon posed while Ash reached for his pocket and pulled out his Mega Ring, sliding it onto his wrist before activating it while simultaneously doing a pose with Greninja. A pink light surrounded Sceptile while an orange light engulfed Greninja as the two were transformed into Mega Sceptile and Ash-Greninja!
"What witchcraft is this?!" Sasuke growled at the sight of Ash-Greninja. "Just an abomination!"
"You're the ones that made an abomination!" Ash countered. Sierra looked slightly nerved at the sight of both Pokemon while Arlo kept a cool head and merely adjusted his glasses.
"Fire Punch!" Arlo ordered, Aggron pulled back a fist as it became engulfed in flame. The Steel type charged at Sceptile before Greninja swiftly leaped in the way and took the blow for him without Ash needing to even say it. Greninja let out a grunt before a blue glow surrounded Sceptile's body and the Grass type was thrown right into his teammate due to Alakazam's Psychic attack! The pier wasn't big enough to take full advantage of Greninja and Sceptile's speed and agility. Buildings and booths were on one side while the railing along with the ocean was on the other, giving only a few feet of movement between them and walls.
Silver flew through the air, desperately trying to evade the hybrid but the Pokemon kept firing off a barrage of Fire, Thunder, and Ice attacks that set him off course. Buildings below started exploding, catching fire or becoming encased in blocks of ice as panic lit the streets as civilians and tourists alike were all trying to rush out of the city out of fear. Lugia soon let out a cry, summoning out a heavy rain storm that pelted down water upon the city streets while unknowingly giving a certain trainer a massive advantage in a fight! The rain poured down and eliminated most of the fires though a few strong ones were still raging but slowly wearing out. Silver smiled from relief before quickly ducking as a lightning bolt fired right at his head, the electricity bolt flew right past him before striking a massive hole into the city's prison!
"Ha, I knew that our ma would rescue us eventual-Holy Miltank, what is that?!" Cletus stared up in terror at the sight of the three headed abomination before Leroy gave him a push through the wall.
"Who cares, let's get outta here before it comes after us!" The two rushed off and disappeared into the panicking crowd as the two birds continued duking it out in the skies above.
"Heavy Slam!"
"Aggron!" Aggron leaped up into the air before coming crashing down upon Grimmsnarl, crushing the Pokemon beneath him as he pinned it against the ground!
"Grimmsnarl!" Marnie called out as the Pokemon groaned out in defeat, Marnie hung her head and returned the Dark type while Sceptile fired off a Solar Beam at Alakazam only for the Pokemon to halt it's progression with a powerful Psychic! Sierra smirked before Morpeko charged across the field and gave Alakazam a fierce dose of electricity causing the Psychic type to groan out in pain! Rain started raining down heavily upon the area as Arlo looked up with a smirk.
"Lugia's getting desperate, I see. It won't be much longer before he wears himself out and he'll be ours!"
Ash let out a growl before looking at Greninja and giving him a light nod, wanting to keep their next move hush hush until it struck. "I'll never let you take Lugia!" He could only imagine the dangers Team Rocket could pull off with a Lugia in their grasp, he had no idea what they wanted to do with it but it couldn't be good whatever it was! "Greninja!"
Greninja summoned up his giant orange water shuriken, appearing even bigger than usual thanks to the heavy rainstorm, the frog flung it forward and performed a perfect strike as he knocked all four Rocket members along with their Pokemon over like bowling pins! Ash had bought himself an opening and the boy quickly turned to Pikachu before tossing him his head as he pulled out his z-ring. "Let's do this!"
Greninja and Sceptile watched in amazement as the two moved in perfect synchronization.
"10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!"
"PIKA!" Pikachu absorbed electricity from the sky above before firing off a series of multicolored bolts of electricity, each electricity bolt flow towards Team Rocket before colliding in a massive explosion that caused a good chunk of the pier to break down while also blasting them off into the heavens and safely away from what was happening!
"And don't come back!" Marnie shouted after them, Morpeko hopped back into her arms as the girl cast a worried look at Ash. "You're gonna go save Lug-Silver now, aren't you?" Of course he was, there was no way Ash wasn't.
Ash nodded his head as he returned Sceptile and Greninja while simultaneously reaching for the ball containing his Charizard, the mighty Fire type burst out with a loud roar. The heavy downpour seeming to have little effect on him as he stood beside his trainer before Ash started to climb up onto his back. "Obviously, I can't let Team Rocket get away with this! Look at what they did to Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos... I failed Zapdos, I'm not going to fail Silver too!"
Marnie let out a sigh and held up her hand to stop him before he could take off, standing up on her toes in order to kiss his cheek as he was on Charizard's back. "Just come back in one piece ya hear, I'll never let you hear the end of it if you die on me!"
"I'll be back, I promise. Go find the others, they're probably helping evac the city!" Ash called out as Charizard took to the skies with a powerful roar!
"Carrr!" Lucario blasted a piece of falling rubble with his Aura Sphere while Blaziken leaped up and kicked other falling rubble that made their way off the buildings above while their trainers and Cinderace were busy helping direct people out of the city. They managed to get Chloe safely out and were focusing on making sure that nobody got hurt. Another blast of fire burst from the hybrid's mouth, striking a nearby building as more rubble began crashing down onto the streets below! Lucario and Blaziken caught most of it but managed to miss one as it kept falling and going right towards where May was standing. Zach spotted it quickly enough to he dove forward and pushed themselves out of harm's way as the rock crushed where she'd been moments before. May stared up at him as he unintentionally had her pinned to the ground, a dark red tone covered both their faces before they met their lips in an embrace!
"You saved my life!" May breathed out with a smile after they separated.
"Yeah well you saved mine first, now we're even!" Zach laughed while May giggled before flashing him a playful smirk.
"Not even close!" The two stared at each other for a moment longer before an explosion snapped them back to reality, deciding to get back to that later as Lucario and Blaziken fired at more falling rubble!
Lugia and Thu-Fi-Zer seemed equally matched with the power of all three birds in one proving to be too much for the longer Lugia to overcome, especially as he'd consumed a lot of energy maneuvering from the city and summoning up rainstorms to quench the fires! Silver opened his mouth and fired off a massive jet of water, blasting the hybrid and knocking him away as he prepared a silver ball while aiming to strike with Ancient Power, hoping that he'll finally get an edge only for the hybrid to quickly recover and fire off a barrage of Fire, Ice, and Electric attacks with Lugia letting out a howl as he'd just struck a critical blow with one of the Electric moves! Lugia's movement started to come to a halt and the hybrid began sparking as he aimed to finish it with an electric attack before a green-blue sphere of dragon shaped energy came blasting through as somebody called for a 'Dragon Pulse'!
The hybrid was knocked off balance causing Silver to look up before letting out a relieved sounding coo as he saw Ash arrive atop Charizard's back. "We're not going to let them take you, Lugia! Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu leaped into the air as his cheeks sparked before delivering a heavy blow to the hybrid Pokemon! Electricity surged through the Pokemon's body, despite it appearing to be Electric type the other part's weakness to Electricity seemed to cancel it's resistance out and make it weak to Electricity! There were definitely some flaws present within this species.
Lugia gave Ash a grateful smile before opening his mouth and firing off a beam of silver energy, striking the hybrid with ancient power, nailing the hybrid right in the wings and causing it to lose balance. The three heads let out a pain of agony but the pain seemed to only fuel the monster's energy as it summoned forth more strength and fired off a barrage of Flamethrower, Ice Beam, and Thunderbolt at Silver, appearing to be focusing on it and not Ash and Charizard for the moment. Silver let out a cry as electricity flowed through his veins once more before his eyes started to roll upwards and he went crashing down to the ground below!
"Silver!" Ash called down after him before looking up at the hybrid with a growl. "That does it, I didn't want to do this before as I risked Silver getting caught in the blast but Charizard can handle it-"
Charizard let out a roar in confirmation as Ash threw his hat back at Pikachu. "Alright Pikachu, let's use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!"
"Pika!" Pikachu's cheeks sparked as he summoned electricity from the clouds mere feet above them, Ash and Charizard both gritted their teeth as electricity flowed through both their bodies but stayed strong and waited it out as Pikachu soon unleashed the multicolored streaks of electricity upon the hybrid and giving it quite the electrical shock as electricity flowed through it's veins! The hybrid's heads started to lower, it's eyes moving upwards as it started to careen towards the ground below, causing a massive crater to form on the beach as he struck the ground!
Ash glared down after it, wondering if it was truly out or not due to it being such a strange abomination but upon seeing three tongue's hanging out of it's beaks along with pairs of swirly eyes he knew it was safely out for the count! He then turned his gaze towards where Silver had gone to only to feel fear strike his body as a cloaked figure stood over Silver's defeated form, sticking a syringe of sinister looking purple liquid into his body!
"Hey you, stop right there!" Ash leaped off of Charizard's back and grabbed the figure, the hood fell down to reveal Dr. Yung. He hadn't appeared to age a day since they met and still had the same creepy smile he had upon the unmasking of his true self all those years ago. "Dr. Yung!" Ash growled out as Lugia started to stir, a sinister purple mist surrounded Silver and mask his body. "What the heck did you do to Silver?!"
"Foolish child, I've made him better! This Lugia may not be as strong as most Lugia due to him just barely being an adult... sorta like you come to think of it, but he'll still fulfill my-Giovanni's plans! The world will soon be forced to accept my greatness once my Shadow Pokemon enforce our complete takeover of the world!" Dr. Yung cackled.
"S-Shadow Pokemon...?" Ash didn't know what that was but it sure sounded creepy! Silver started rising from the mist, a pair of glowing red eyes locked onto Ash with murderous intent to them as Ash couldn't help but shudder at the sight of it. "Silver...?"
"LUUUUU!" The mist faded and revealed the final image of Ash's 'future glimpse' from the carnival, Lugia's sleek white body was now a dark shade of black with light hints of purple spread throughout, the parts of Lugia that were once blue were now a sleek silver coloring! The whole appearance was nightmare fuel and the Pokemon let out the same unholy screech that he'd heard. Did Ash really see the future...? That meant he had to survive right? Cause none of that other stuff happened! Ash couldn't help but feel genuine fear flowing through his body as he and Pikachu looked at Shadow Lugia while Charizard masked his fear with a growl and a serious face.
"Charr!"
"You're right Charizard," Ash shook his head to temporarily wave off his fear. "But there's still a chance that Silver is in there! Silver, can you hear me?! Remember how we rescued you from Team Rocket back when you were a baby? Well we're gonna do that again, don't you worry!"
"Luuu?" The red eyes turned to normal for a brief moment before resuming their new shade of red as Lugia let out a shriek and fired off a Hyper Beam right at Ash, Charizard let out a power as he dove forward and took the hit but the new form appeared to greatly enhance Silver's strength much like Mega Evolution, Dynamax and the Bond Phenomenon as Charizard was taken right out, laying on the ground with his tongue sprawled out as swirls formed within his eyes.
"Charizard..." Ash clenched his fists, nothing had beaten Charizard like that in a very very long time!
"XD001 can't be bargained with, don't waste your time." Dr. Yung let out a yawn to display his boredom. "Now I wouldn't waste my time taking out some mere punk like you but I know that it would devastate Professor Oak greatly if I were to take out his star pupil! XD001, continue your assault!"
"Luuuu!" Lugia began forming a silver ball of energy within his mouth while Ash reached for Greninja's ball before throwing it forward.
"Greninja, stop him with Water Shuriken!" The two did a quick pose as Greninja resumed his Ash-Greninja form before rushing forward as he held the massive orange water shuriken on his back, throwing it forward and stopping the attack before Lugia could fire! The attack along with Greninja's own knocked Lugia off his feet, Lugia landed on his side before quickly rising up with a rage filled cry! Lugia swooped forward and grabbed Greninja with his feet before taking off right into the air, spinning in a loop before dropping Greninja to the ground with the frog falling at a immense speed before making impact, a small crater formed and revealed Greninja's defeated form as he returned to normal.
"Gre..."
Ash returned Greninja to his ball and growled as he locked eyes with Lugia. "Silver... I promise I'll beat you and free you! Sceptile, Melmetal let's go!"
"Scep!"
"Metal!" Melmetal and Sceptile both burst out, Ash knowing that it'd be easier if he had to split the attention between two Pokemon.
"Melmetal use Double Iron Bash to cover Sceptile, Sceptile... use Solar Beam!" Ash shouted while activating his Mega Ring! Melmetal began spinning in place before speeding across the beach like a spinning top, soon rapidly bringing his fists up against the underside of Lugia's face as the bird let out a painful cry. Followed swiftly by the massive solar beam of energy striking his chest! Lugia's eyes widened before collapsing with a loud and heavy thud, looking to be defeated before it's body began glowing and restoring some of it's lost health. Lugia stretched out his wings and let out a screech before firing off a heavy beam, blasting both Sceptile and Melmetal with Melmetal collapsing not long after impact while Sceptile temporarily fell to his knees before quickly recovering his ground.
"Scep!"
Ash returned Melmetal to his Pokeball before turning to Pikachu. "Let's do this buddy!"
"Pika!" Pikachu sprang forward as electricity filled his cheeks, Pikachu unleashing a powerful Thunderbolt at the mighty beast while Sceptile raced across the field and began slashing at the legendary's stomach with leaf blade! Lugia let out a pain of agony before his body turned bright blue as he recovered his strength once more, anger and rage filled the Pokemon's gaze as he fired off another Hyper Beam and sprayed it across the field, Sceptile fully collapsed this time and laid in defeat while Pikachu was sent flying backwards before landing in a heap!
"Pikachu, you okay?!" Ash called out to Pikachu as he returned Sceptile. Pikachu let out a grunt as he slowly returned to his feet. "Great, let's go! 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted out as he threw his cap, due to his sixth and final Pokemon being Toxel Pikachu was his only hope here! Pikachu grabbed his hat, his cheeks sparking as he summoned electricity down from the heavens before promptly striking Lugia with the multicolored streaks of electricity! Lugia leaned back his head and howled out in pain, his breath started to grow heavy as he looked towards Ash and Pikachu, a glimpse of Silver returning in his eyes as he looked towards Ash with a pleading expression before uttering another cry as he was forced to fire off Ancient Power by the darkness within, the blast struck the ground beneath Pikachu and sent him flying back into Ash's arms, knocking the two over and onto the ground.
"Hahaha, Professor Oak is gonna love this!" Yung cackled as he held up his phone, recording the sight. "I've succeeded where so many before me have failed, those meddling buffoons, Biff and Cassidy, various Rocket members and even Giovanni himself have failed where I succeeded, I Dr. Yung! The world will soon see my greatness, now... finish him!"
Silver paused for the longest time, irritating Dr. Yung as he walked over and gave his butt a swift kick. "Are you deaf?! Destroy him!" Lugia's eyes shot red as he fired off a Hyper Beam but a burst of light appeared followed by a bright blue protective barrier surrounding Ash and protecting him and Pikachu as Toxel held up his arms with a determined expression, not wanting to let his father down as he gritted his teeth and felt his grasp shaking on the barrier.
Ash opened his eyes and saw Toxel standing over him and Pikachu in a protective stance. "Toxel...?"
"TOX!" A bright light engulfed Toxel as he began changing, vastly increasing in size as he now stood up to Ash's shoulder rather than being small enough to hold. His physical appeared also changed as the skin on the front of his upper body turned a bright yellow coloring, toxic purple spikes formed around his waist line and at the end of his arms, his eyes losing their cute factor while looking more serious all while bright yellow electricity sparked and flowed off the top of his head!
"Toxtricity!" Toxtricity summoned up a guitar made out of electricity before stringing it, causing a huge vibration to occur that caused Yung to cover his ears and Lugia let out a pained screech before Toxtricity rushed over and based the upside of Lugia's face with the guitar, shocking Lugia as electricity flowed through his body! The Shadow Pokemon let out a loud grunt as he fell forward, the shadowy liquid spilled from his body before evaporating as Lugia resumed his normal appearance. Dr. Yung uttered out a gasp of shock and horror as he held the sides of his face.
"Nononono, I can't have failed!"
"Well ya just did!" Grimmsnarl appeared and towered over the doctor while Toxtricity walked over and crossed his arms as well, Yung cast a nervous glance between the two Pokemon before pulling up his sleeve and activating a hidden button, teleporting away before they could grab him much like a certain Pokemon Hunter before him.
Marnie rushed over to Ash and Pikachu before helping the two of them up. "Ya okay? I saw what was going on from the pier and tried ta get here as fast I could... but it's such a long walk!" She pointed back towards the pier, several miles behind them.
"Y-Yeah, nothing a bit of rest won't fix!" Ash let out a light laugh as his gaze turned towards Toxtricity. "You were awesome... Toxtricity?" He wondered if he heard his Pokemon right. Toxtricity nodded in confirmation before giving his dad a warm hug while flashing Pikachu a teasing smirk behind his back, sticking out his tongue at the electric mouse causing Pikachu to gasp before crossing his arms.
"Pika pika!" Pikachu quickly called out to distract Ash, pointing towards the defeated form of Silver.
"That's right, Silver!" Ash pulled away from Toxtricity before racing towards the unconscious legendary, placing a revive on the Pokemon's tongue with the Pokemon swallowing it as his eyes slowly began to open.
"Luu...? Luuuu!" Lugia let out a happy cry as he sat up and examined his wings, showing that the nightmare was over before embracing Ash as the bird wrapped his wings around him, uttering a happy coo in appreciation.
"I'm glad you're safe too, Silver! You feeling okay? None of that darkness still inside of you?" Lugia shook his head while Ash uttered out a sigh of relief. "Well that's good news."
"What are ya gonna do about him?" Marnie asked with a light tilt of her head. "If we just leave him what's stopping Team Rocket from coming back and terrorizing the town again to get him and transform him into... whatever that thing was again."
Ash realized that Marnie had a point, he thought it over for a moment within his head. No way Lugia would like it at the lab, there wasn't any water source big enough for him to move safely around in. There was the ocean only a mile off to the south of Pallet however, if Oak and Tracey didn't mind the drive they could let Lugia live there while keeping his ball safe at the lab. Nobody else would know where he was and Silver would be safe!
"Silver... would you like to join me? There's an ocean near Pallet Town that you can live at and you won't have to worry about Dr. Yung returning and trying to have you embrace darkness again." Ash offered while holding out an empty Pokeball to Silver. Silver looked down at it before looking back up at Ash, his gaze then turned to Toxtricity. With Pokemon having that much affection for him no doubt that he'd make a good protector for him. Lugia nodded before Ash tapped him with the Pokeball, the legendary disappeared shortly afterwards as the ball shook within his hand before chiming to announce the capture complete! The ball teleported off to the lab while Ash pulled out his Rotom Phone to explain the situation to Professor Oak.
"Excuse me, Ash?" Ash turned and noticed Looker standing there as several men lifted up the hybrid onto a truck, encasing it in a protective barrier. "We're taking the hybrid back to the lab for examination and hoping to cure it, I'd just like to thank you before we leave and reassure you that it's okay. The Pokemon will safely be returned to the wild once we separate them."
"Looker?! Hey, long time no see-" Ash excitedly reached out to shake the man's hand over for Looker to brush him off. "Sorry but crime never rests, I've got to get back on the trail of Team Rocket. I'll see you around, kid."
"...that was strange." Ash commented as he watched Looker walk off.
Looker walked through a dark hallway within a warehouse, soon coming to an closet where he began to remove his coat, opening it up to reveal another Looker inside tied up and gagged, the man letting out muffled shouts as the man let out a laugh before removing his mask to reveal the face of Brodie the Phantom Thief. "Your face is the best one I've got yet!" The man cackled before shutting the door as he walked deeper into the warehouse where a soaking Arlo, Sierra, Sasuke and Domino stood. Failure showed on their faces as another figure stepped in, causing them all to salute as Pierce examined the situation before him.
"You failed? You had one job and you failed... there were four of you, he's just one brat how hard can it be to destroy him?!"
"It wasn't our fault sir, we had no idea to calculate for the z-move of his. That along with the rainstorm Lugia summoned gave us little chance at winning!" Arlo stated while adjusting his glasses, despite his calm tone sweat poured down his face as it did everyone but Sasuke's who eyes followed Pierce around.
"Yeah, he's just too strong! That hybrid seemed flawed too!" Domino chimed in. "Too bad it's gone," She felt relief until Brodie spoke up.
"Actually Looker helped me retrieve it safely," He held up the mask before turning on a spotlight to showcase the captured hybrid in a sealed container in the middle of the warehouse.
"See? Brodie proved himself useful, he didn't fail. Giovanni doesn't tolerate failure anymore, failure will now be met in a grim fashion!" Pierce pulled out a button and activated it as square paneling appeared beneath the four Elite Rocket members. "One of you will no longer be with us today, I wonder which one that will be?" He fixed his gaze on Domino who began sweating pools of water nervously, Arlo was sweating just as bad as he bit his lip while Sasuke's tone didn't change at all, merely glaring at the man.
"Hmp, I can sense somebody's defiant!" Pierce activated the panel beneath Sasuke, the ground opening up and causing a bright orange light to envelop the room as if there was lava down there.
"Good riddance, I never did like him-ahhh!" Sierra screeched as Sasuke backflipped before pushing her down the hole, it sealed up after her with Domino shaking as she stared at the paneling!
"Damn, that's cold!" Brodie commented.
"It'll be some time before he calls for you again, next time I expect you to succeed or I might not just throw down one of you!" Pierce threatened. Arlo and Domino nervously saluted as Pierce walked off.
"You caught Lugia?!" Chloe gasped out as the group was gathered around a table at the Pokemon Center the following evening, they hadn't spoken after the events as it was already late before the incident and they were completely drained of energy!
"And the hybrid is being worked, it won't be long until Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos are free once more!" Ash exclaimed.
"That's a relief, I'm glad Moltes is okay." Zach said.
"Yeah, I felt so bad about Articuno. I'm glad she's okay!" Marnie stated as Ash nodded, sharing their emotion towards Zapdos.
"It all worked out in the end though and Toxtricity grew stronger!"
"Tox!" Toxtricity smirked as he remained outside of his ball, Pikachu cast him a glare before looking back at Ash.
"So where are we going next now that you've beaten Wallace?" Chloe asked.
"Well before that Zach was going to challenge Kabu, I say why not go back and see where the wind takes us from there!" Ash exclaimed as he pumped his fists. "There's still so many powerful trainers out there I've never met or faced against, I intend on beating them all!"
"I'm ready whenever you guys are," May exclaimed as she arrived downstairs with her traveling bag. Marnie cast a glance towards Zach as he sweated nervously and avoided her gaze.
"You're coming with us?" Chloe asked.
"Of course, I don't have any upcoming plans and I can see nothing better than traveling the world and enjoying the sights with my boyfriend! I discussed it with Zach last night before... you know."
"Well it makes sense, if one couple's already around he's sure ta miss you even more than usual! Besides Zach needs somebody looking out for him and making sure he relaxes every now and then," Marnie flashed Zach a teasing smirk before reaching out to take May's hand. "We'll be happy to have you!"
"Yeah, it'll be just like old times!" Ash exclaimed.
Yeah, Sierra's really gone. Team Rocket still has their dirty hands on the hybrid and Ash is now protecting Silver. What dangers await Ash and friends in the near future and will Ash eventually see through 'Looker' disguise and save his friend?
