Last Time, Team Rocket are given a new assignment, and their plan to attack Team Plasma at Castelia City are revealed, Missile A.K.A. Derik, gets invited by the rest of Team Rocket to hang out, he refuses, he then goes to Castelia City, and has some flashbacks, and at the very last one we were abut to figure out his starter pokemon, but then we reached a cliffhanger, AGAIN, like, what is up with Derik, and cliffhangers!?
It was a beautiful morning, and Ash, and the gang, were getting really close to Castelia City, so close in fact that they were already there.
"Castelia City, so this is it huh?" Ash said.
"It's so huge!" Iris said, impressed by Castelia City's size
"It is the biggest Unovan City after all, and it's located right next to the sea" Cilan said.
'Wow I've never been to a place like this before' Axew said.
'Yeah, I've been to many places, but none are quite like this' Pikachu added.
"Well I'm hungry, so let's go eat!" Ash then shoted.
"Why am I not surprised?" Iris said.
Ash, and the gang head into a donut shop, and eat, but while they do so, a bunch of people run away from something.
"Huh, what's going on?" Iris asked.
"I don't know, but it seems like something's happening in central Castelia" Cilan observed.
"Let's go check it out" Ash then said.
Ash, and the gang head to inner Castelia, to find a massive horde of bug types.
"Whoa, what are those pokemon?" Ash asked surprised at the sheer number of them.
"They're Venipede" Answered a brown haired man, he was wearing green, and yeah it's Burgh.
"Oh Burgh, you're here what's going on?" Cilan asked to his fellow gym leader.
"It seems there is a massive Venipede stampede here, but I have no idea why" Burgh answered.
"Well they're causing a ruckus, what should we do?" Iris asked.
"Hmm, try to round them all up, we gotta stop them from causing any" *CRASH* "Damage"
"Alright then, everyone come out!" Ash said, he threw up all his pokeballs, Cilan and Iris did the same, and Burgh sent out his Scolipede.
"Everybody round up all these Venipede before they destroy everything!" Ash said.
Everybody tried to gather up the swarm of Venipede, there were a lot of Venipedes, like a lot, eventually though all of them were successfully put in nets.
"Phew did we get all of them?" Iris asked.
"I think we did" Cilan said.
"Woo hoo, we did it!" Ash said.
'That was tiring' Oshawott said.
'Nothing that bad' Snivy said.
'Yay we did it!' Rufflet said.
'That was amazing!' Axew said.
"Yeah, although I do wonder why all those Venipede were acting up anyway" Burgh said. "They're usually pretty docile, unless of course something dangerous is here"
Then one of the captured Venipede suddenly said. 'Yeah, these people they've been destroying our homes, and creating these giant towers in our place'
'Huh, wait they are, you wouldn't be talking about Team Rocket, right?' Pikachu asked.
'No, it's not them, I think it's Team Plas, something I don't know!' She responded.
'Hey Ash, this Venipede says that Team Plasma, is destroying their homes, and creating giant towers in their place!'
"Huh, what!?" Ash responded.
"Ash, what did Pikachu say?" Iris asked.
"I think he's saying that Team Plasma is destroying the homes of these Venipede, and that's why they're mad"
"Team Plasma, giant towers, I think I know what they're planning with this" Burgh said. "Okay that settles it, I'm going to head to Pinwheel Forest, and find out what's going on"
"Pinwheel Forest, isn't that where Venipede live?" Cilan asked.
"Yeah, and Team Plasma's disturbing the Venipede there, I must go, and stop them" Burgh said.
"Wait maybe we should come" Ash then suggested.
"Hmm, alright then, but stay aware, we don't know what's coming"
'I should come too! I can tell you where they are!' The little Venipede from early said, Pikachu translated, and Ash told Burgh.
"Hmm, okay then" Burgh said. "I'll let you out, just don't destroy anything"
'Okay!'
Burgh let out the Venipedes, and the little one came to Ash's side.
"Alright, let's go"
Ash, and the gang arrived in Pinwheel Forest, and Venipede quickly waddled to the area of damage.
"Oh no, it's Team Plasma" Ash said.
"Why hello Ash, I'd knew we'd meet again soon" said a familiar green haired man, no it's not Cilan.
"N, why are you doing this?"
"Simple, we are building a radio tower, one big enough to broadcast all over Unova, and with it we will be abl to spread our message ti TVs everywhere"
"But don't you realize that your hurting the local Venipedes"
"A few sacrifices must be made to achieve world domina-, I mean world peace"
"Whatever your reason, that still doesn't give you the right to harm the local pokemon here" Burgh said.
"Yeah, so get outta here!" Iris said.
"Stop harming the Pokémon!" said Cilan.
"Pick on someone your own size" Ash said.
"Alright fine, so be it, grunts"
"Ready to battle sir!" The grunts sent out a Timburr, and a Driburr, N sent out his Chandelure.
Ash sent out Rufflet, Cilan his Dwebble, and Burgh his Scolipede.
"Rufflet, Wing attack"
"Timburr, Low Kick!"
"Dwebble, Fury Cutter!"
"Drillbur, Mud Slap!"
"Scolipede, Venoshock!"
"Chandelure, Flamethrower!"
Rufflet used Wing Attack on Timburr, while it used Low Kick on Dwebble, but ended up missing, Dwebble used Fury Cutter against Timburr, while Drillbur used Mudslap on Scolipede, who then traded blows with Chandelure.
"Wing Attack again!"
Rufflet used a second Wing Attack knocking out Timburr.
"Scolipede use Steamroller, this time on Drillbur"
The powerful attack trampled over the Drill pokemon, causing it to faint, all that was left was N's Chandelure.
"Grr, Chandelure, use Energy Ball on Dwebble"
Chandelure did, knocking out poor old Dwebble.
"Dwebble return!"
"Rufflet, use Wing Attack again!"
"Venoshock once more"
Rufflet obliged, hitting Chandelure with a Wing Attack, Scolipede followed with one last Venoshock ended the fight.
"Chandelure return my friend, well you may have won this time, but we will still be victorious in the end, until next time Ash Ketchum" N then simply walked off, his grunts following behind.
"Well that was, something else" Cilan said.
"Alright, let's destroy this tower, and get back to Castelia City" Burgh said.
Ash, and the gang, destroyed the tower, and then came back to Castelia City to go release all of the Venipede.
"Well, Ash, it's been nice, but I have to go back to Pinwheel Forest, and help these Venipede rebuild their homes" Burgh said.
"It's okay, go ahead Burgh" Ash said.
"Alright, well see you guys later!" Burgh then walked off to Pinwheel Forest with all the Venipede following behind, but one had different plans.
'Hey there!'
"Huh, Venipede, don't you want to go back to your place?"
'Well, actually, I've always wanted to go battle'
'Oh, does that mean you wanna join us?'
'Yeah!'
"Well alright then! Pokeball, go!" The pokeball hit Venipede, and she entered it, one shake, two shake, three shake, caught! "Haha! I just caught, a Venipede!"
"Congrats Ash!" Iris said.
"Looks like a new ingredient has just been added"
Ash, and the gang, then went to go find somewhere to sleep, now with Venipede in tow.
Later that night…
'Ash wake up!'
"Ugh Pikachu quiet down"
'No seriously Ash, something really bad is happening!'
"Huh, whoa what's happening!"
Outside, the sky was lit up by a big letter R, multiple helicopters, and flying pokemon were outside, several guys in black uniforms, and Rs were there too, on the ground N and his grunts were on the defense, looks like a battle was stirring up, what could happen? What happened? How will this end? Find out next time!
