Last Time, the Club Battle Tournament was in full swing, and the semi finals go strong, Missile, who's real name is Derik, beat Iris with ease, as Cody while Ash had to battle Trip, and it wasn't all too clean, but he got through it anyway, then he faces off against Missile, and his Bisharp, mid battle Snivy evolves into Servine, and learned Aqua Tail, but she ultimately lost, oh well, Ash meets up with Missile after the fact, and Servine apologizes for misjudging him, Missile then figures out that Servine was his starter, what a plot twist! What's even worst is that his new assignment is to eliminate Ash, what will Missile do? Find out soon.

It was still night, and Derik was still running, he couldn't believe it. Snivy, you ran away from me all those years ago, and now you're back.

*flashback*

"Snivy, get back here!" Derik shouted running after Snivy, she was fast, but he wasn't gonna let her go.

'Never! All I did was try to be your friend, but you obviously didn't want to!' Snivy then ran into Straigton City, Derik chased after her to no avail, she ran into an alleyway, never to be seen again.

"Snivy! Snivy! I'm sorry, I'm so, I'm" Derik fell to his knees. "We were so close, we had all eight badges, and everything, I'm sorry"

*flashback end*

'What's with him?' Servine asked, unaware of her new importance to Derik.

'No clue, but it's getting pretty late I could use a nap' Oshawott said, he then fell asleep.

'Yeah me too' Rufflet said, before going to sleep.

'Well how about we go back to the hotel, and sleep there' Pikachu suggested.

'Alright' *snores*

'Yeah, let's' Servine said, she thought for a bit. The way Cody acted just now, it felt just like how Derik would act, *mind sigh* Maybe I should've stayed, I just hope you're okay.

The very next day, with Missile…

"Oh Snivy, ha ha ha, what a cruel turn of events, the day I get the assignment to eliminate Ash, I find out that he's your trainer, I don't wanna do this, but I can't just tell the boss that, else, he'll terminate me, Hmm, I'll just have to find another way then, maybe I can steal his pokemon, and then knock him off, yeah, but I can't just do it, he'll never let his pokemon be stolen, James, Jessie, and Meowth are proof of that, I'll figure something out"

Now with Ash, and the Gang…

"So Ash what are we gonna do now?" Cilan asked.

"Well, I've been thinking"

"You're gonna go eat?" Iris said.

"Well actually I was gonna go challenge the Nimbasa City Gym, after we eat" Ash said.

"Of course"

Ash, and the Gang ate real quick before going to the Nimbasa City Gym, they then headed inside to find that a show of some sorts was starting.

"What's happening?" Ash asked.

"Don't know, let's keep watching" Cilan said.

"Ladies, and gentlemen, please welcome the shining beauty, Elesa!"

*audience cheers*

"Hey everybody!" Elesa said in the center.

All of a sudden Oshawott popped out, looking like he got hit with attract.

"Oshawott, what are you doing!? Get back here" Ash said, grabbing the otter, but not putting him back in his ball, because he knew that wouldn't help.

'I've been hit by love, again!' Oshawott shouted.

'Reminds me of Brock' Pikachu said.

"So what now?" Ash asked.

"Well, I guess we should just wait" Iris said.

The show played out, and Ash, and the gang watched, once it ended, Ash decided to challenge Elesa.

"Bye everyone! Have a wonderful day!" Elesa said.

"Hey, can I"

"Autograph, sure!"

"Actually"

"Do you want a T shirt?"

"Well"

"Selfie?"

"I'm here to challenge the gym!"

"Oh well why didn't you say so?"

"I was trying to"

"Wait is that a Pikachu!?"

"Uh yeah I guess"

'Oh no' The rat said, scared.

"Oh my gosh, it's so cute! Pikachu are quite rare in Unova, it's quite the, Electabuzz around here hahaha" *ba dum tss*

"Bad puns, my favorite" Ash said sarcastically.

"Alright let me get this straight you wanna challenge the Nimbasa City Gym, right?" Elesa asked.

"Yeah, I do" Ash responded.

"Okay then, I hope I won't have to, Axew again!" *ba dum tss*

"Well let's just do it" Ash said. "These puns are getting real old real quick"

"Glad we Cofagrigus on that!" *ba dum tss* "Okay okay, Snover puns" *ba dum tss*

"Who keeps doing that?" Ash questioned.

"This thing right here" Elesa held up a tape recorder, and pressed a button on it. *ba dum tss*

"This is just getting more, and more crazy"

"The rules are simple, three pokemon for each trainer, and switching out is not allowed" Elesa explained.

"Alright, let's do this"

"Go Ash!" Iris cheered.

"You can do it!" Cilan cheered too.

"Trainers send out your pokemon"

Ash sent out Sandile, and Elesa sent out Zebstrika.

"Battle Begin!"

"Zebstrika use Double Kick"

"Sandile Dig!"

Zebstrika went for a double kick but ended up kicking the ground after Sandile dug underground.

"Now dig up, and Crunch"

Sandile dug under Zebstrika, and strikaed it's hoof, causing it to frolic around in pain.

"Use Pursuit to knock it off!"

Zebstrika head butted Sandile, knocking him off it's leg.

"Now counter with Quick Attack"

Zebstrika ran with blinding speed, and rammed into Sandile, sending him flying.

"Sandile, hang in there okay"

"Sand"

"Alright use Stone Edge"

"Dodge it"

Sandile fired a bunch of stones at Zebstrika, but it dodged.

"Now use Double Kick"

Sandile got kicked twice, and was knocked back a bit.

"Sandile use Dig, and Crunch it from below"

Sandile dug underground, and leaped up at Zebstrika, biting it hard, knocking it out.

"Zebstrika return, Emolga come out!"

"Alright Sandile, let's do this"

"Emolga, Aerial Ace!"

"Intercept it with Stone Edge"

Emolga swept, and dove between the stones, and hit Sandile dead on.

"Sandile, use Stone Edge again, but this time dig around, and disorientate Emolga"

"Try to dodge"

Sandile dug all around the place, firing Stone Edges everywhere, Emolga got hit here, and there.

"Emolga, use Attract"

"Uh oh, Sandile keep on digging"

Emolga winked at Sandile, he tried to dig, but to no avail, he was infatuated!

"Oh no! I can't even swap you out"

"Emolga keep attacking"

Emolga attacked the defenseless Sandile, swoosh, bam, sling, soon enough Sandile was knocked out.

"You did great Sandile" Ash said, he returned Sandile.

"Well what's your next choice?" Elesa asked.

"Hold on I'm thinking" I gotta counter that attract somehow, Pikachu's male, and Oshawott probably be infatuated just by looking at her, Rufflet's weak to Electric attacks, and Servine's weak to flying attacks, Whirlipede's also weak, but she has rollout so. "Alright, I got it, Whirlipede let's go!"

'Oh what's happening? Am I in a battle?' Whirlipede questioned.

"Sorry Whirlipede, I kinda had to improvise"

'Okay, I forgive you'

"Alright then, let's get started, Emolga Aerial Ace"

"Whirlipede, Rollout"

Emolga tried to dive at Whirlipede, but she used Rollout, and started bouncing around.

"Jump up at Emolga!"

Whirlipede jumped up, hitting Emolga twice.

"Emolga stop it with Air Slash"

Emolga hit a super effective Air Slash on Whirlipede, causing her to stop.

"Now Aerial Ace"

"Dodge it"

Emolga uppercutted Whirlipede with Aerial Ace, sending her flying.

"Whirlipede get yourself together, now use Venoshock"

Whirlipede spun around, and Venoshocks shot out, hitting Emolga.

"Emolga use Aerial Ace"

"Use Rollout, and jump up to hit Emolga"

Whirlipede Rolloutted again, and Emolga got hit again, eventually the onslaught was too much, and it fainted.

"Emolga return, alright you asked for it, I'm gonna send out my ace, you might, Swanna give up" *ba dum tss*

"One more pun, just for the record"

"Eelektross, here we go!"

"Oh man, and here I was expecting a tiny pokemon, don't know why, but I was"

"Eelektross is a pretty tough opponent" Cilan said, from the sidelines.

"How come?" Iris asked.

"Well you see Eelektross' only type is Electric"

"And?"

"It's ability is levitate"

"Wait so that means"

"Yep, no weaknesses, Electric plus levitate, a deadly recipe"

"Alright Whirlipede, you ready?"

'Not sure'

"Eelektross use Thunder"

"Dodge it!"

Whirlipede tried to dodge to upcoming Thunder, but was too slow, and was knocked out.

*sigh* "Have a good rest Whirlipede"

"Well Ash, you only have one pokemon left, better make it count"

"Yeah, alright Servine, come on out!"

Ash sent out Servine, due to her immense speed, and resistance to electric type attacks.

"Servine, use Swagger"

'Are no moves including attract super effective against you? Are maybe because no one ever tried'

Eelektross got angry.

"Eelektross try not to get too made in front of the fans, now use Crunch"

"Servine outrun it!"

Servine's superior speed allowed her to outrun Eelektross with ease, due to Swagger it eventually slipped despite having no feet.

"Now strike it with Aqua Tail!"

Servine's tail got engulfed in water, she leaped up, and slammed it onto Eelektross' head.

"Eelektross, use Dragon Claw"

Eelektross clawed Servine, knocking her back.

"Servine, hang in there alright, use Leaf Tornado!"

Servine fired a Leaf Tornado at Eelektross, doing some damage.

"Use Rock Tomb"

"Servine, use your vines to throw it back!"

Eelektross created a giant rock, and threw it at Servine, but she used her vines, to grab it, and toss it back, doing some more damage.

"Eelektross Thunder!"

"Uh oh!"

Thunder's huge radius, hit Servine, even with a resistance she still got hit hard.

"Servine hang it there, and get it over here with your vines!"

"What!?"

Servine wrapped her vines around Eelektross, and pulled it in.

"Now Aqua Tail, just before it gets to you!"

Servine then leaped up at the approaching Eelektross, and slammed it with her soaked tail, sending it careening into the wall, causing a knockout.

"Eelektross is unable to battle, Servine wins!"

"Yeah we did it Servine!"

"Ser!"

"Congrats Ash" Iris said.

"That last move was something else" Cilan said.

"Well, that was a good battle, I guess you earned the-" But before Elesa could finish what she was saying, an explosion came through the wall, and out came the classic Team Rocket trio.

"Prepare for trouble" said Jessie.

"And make it-" said James.

"Okay okay you two, no need to say the whole thing" Missile said, coming in.

"Aww but we always say it" Meowth said.

"Eh, don't see why"

"Missile, what are you, and Team Rocket doing here?!"

Missile then turned to Ash. "Oh hey there, good to see you again, anyway surrender now or prepare to fight"

"Meowth, that's right" Missile glared at Meowth. "Sorry force of habit"

"Well, haven't much time to talk, unleash the smoke bombs"

"Aye aye cap'n" Meowth released the smoke bombs, it was literally impossible to see, Ash, and the gang could feel their pokeballs being take, but couldn't do anything about.

"Pikachu where are you, say something bud!"

'I can't, I'm being taken!'

"Axew, no!"

'Aah!'

"Gothitelle teleport"

Team Rocket Teleported out of there, leaving Ash, and the Gang without any pokemon, soon enough the smoke cleared.

"Our pokeballs, they're all gone!" Iris said.

"Pikachu noooooooooooo!"

Meanwhile with Team Rocket…

"Well, we made it" Missile said, returning Gothitelle.

"Uh, why are we in the subway, and not back to base?" James asked.

"Teleportation requires a lot of energy, if Gothitelle tried to teleport all of us to base, she would only be able to transport half of us, and then go into a coma, only teleporting a few blocks away is possible with a group this big" Missile explained.

"Well what do we do now?" Jessie asked.

"Simple we ride the subway until we get out of town, from there we head straight to base, that's why we only teleported a few meters underground, come on, let's go" The plan is going great, soon I'll have Snivy all for myself, and this time I'll never let her go, never.
