22. Cruz Control

*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR DC SUPERHERO GIRLS!*

It was before school hours for our heroes and right now, Kara was chasing a wild Yungoos and Geodude with the others behind her!

Yungoos: [running] YUNG YUNGOOS!

Geodude: [rolling] GEO!

Kara: [chasing them] Get back here, you two! You're suppose to be my easy catch of the day!

Jessica: Kara, please slow down!

Ash: Wait for us!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Kara: [ignoring them] You little rock heads won't get away from me!

Yungoos: [Mud-Slap move] GOOS!

Kara: [ducks] Whoa! Ha! Missed!

Babs: Is that a mongoose?

Rotom Dex: Not quite! Yungoos, the Loitering Pokémon! A Normal type! Its stomach takes up most of its long torso. It's a big eater, so the amount Trainers have to spend on its food is no laughing matter.

Babs: Sounds like it can eat more than Ash could!

Ash: [pouts] I heard that, Babs!

Babs: You know it's true!

Kara: [chasing them] Come back here!

That was when the Yungoos and Geodude split up to make it impossible to follow!

Kara: [looks around] Now, where'd they go?!

Ash: Looks like they split!

Karen: I guess you won't be able to catch them today!

That was when they heard rustling in the bushes!

Kara: [pulls out a PokéBall] Guess again, Karen! That Geodude's probably hiding in that [tosses it] bush!

But...

? (Iris): [hit on the head] OUCH!

Ash and Kara: Ouch?!

Then, out of the bushes came a milk chocolate-skin girl with poofy hair! It was...

Iris: [angry] Okay! What was that for?!

Ash: [gasps]

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Kara: My bad! I thought a Geodude was hiding in that bush!

Iris: Oh? So what your really telling me is I look like a Pokémon! Your Rotom Phone, is this cute face in there? [angry] Tell me! Is it?!

Kara: [annoyed] Look, it was an accident, okay?! You don't need to get your hair in a twist!

Ash: Iris!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: Huh? No way! It's Ash and Pikachu!

Ash: [runs over to her] Iris! It's been a while!

Iris: It sure has! Haven't seen you since the World Coronation Series Master Class Tournament!

Ash: I know!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Lucario: MRAH!

Dawn: Iris!

Iris: Dawn! I didn't know you were here too!

Dawn: [winks] Sure am!

Cilan: Hello, Iris!

Iris: Cilan! Long time no see!

Kara: Wait! You guys know this chick?!

Ash: Yeah! Let me introduce you! This is our friend, Iris! We traveled together awhile back when I was in the Unova Region!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: Hi there! Nice to meet you all!

Babs: Hi! My name's Barbara, but feel free to call me Babs!

Jessica: My name is Jessica!

Karen: K-Karen.

Kara: Name's Kara.

Diana: Diana Prince! It is an honor!

Zee: And I am the lovely Zee Zatara! [curtsies] A pleasure!

Sylveon: [bows] VEON!

Serena: Hi there! My name's Serena!

Diana: It is our pleasure to [holds out her hand] welcome you to Metropolis!

Iris: [shakes her hand] Thanks so much!

Zee: By the way, I really like your hair! It's pretty poofy!

Zee's Sylveon: SYLVEON!

Iris: Aww, thanks! All the better to let small Pokémon hide in it!

As she said that, a certain Sky Squirrel Pokémon popped out of her hair!

Emolga: EMOL!

Ash: Wow! It's Emolga!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Zee: [pulls out her Rotom Phone] So that's an Emolga!

Zee's Rotom Phone: Emolga, the Sky Squirrel Pokémon. An Electric and Flying type. As Emolga flutters through the air, it crackles with electricity. This Pokémon is cute, but it can cause a lot of trouble.

Zee: How can a cute little Emolga cause a lot of trouble? It's adorable!

Ash: You should've seen the first time we met Emolga, it was causing all kinds of mischief!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Iris: But after being with me for awhile, it learned to behave itself! Right, Emolga?

Emolga: [nods; proud] EMOL!

Babs: That's pretty cool!

Ash: What brings you to Metropolis, Iris?

Iris: You know me, Ash! Exploring and seeing what kinds of Dragon types I can meet, catch and battle with! After all, I need to get stronger as the reigning Unova Region Champion!

Emolga: EMOLGA!

Babs: [gasps deeply] You're the reigning Unova Region Champion?!

Diana: And a Dragon type specialist?!

Iris: Well, I have two Dragon types, but Emolga is one Pokémon that isn't a Dragon type, but still caught anyway!

Emolga: EMOL!

Kara: Okay, now I'm getting intrigued! Let's see these Dragon types your packin'!

Iris: Gladly! [tosses two PokéBalls] Come on out!

Iris' Dragonite: [appearing] BRWAR!

Haxorus: [appearing] HAXORUS!

Kara: Whoa! You've got a Dragonite too, Iris?

Iris: [hugs its arm] Sure do!

Ash: But unlike my Dragonite, Iris's Dragonite is a male!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Jessica: How can you tell?

Babs: Your Dragonite's a girl?!

Ash: Yep!

Zee: I'm surprised! I never knew that!

Babs: [to Iris's Dragonite] Hi, Dragonite! Nice to-

Dragonite: [threatening] BRWAR!

Babs: Eek!

Iris: Dragonite, be nice!

Dragonite: [scoffs; turns away] BRWAR.

Iris: Sorry about that! My Dragonite's pretty tough and not as friendly as Ash's!

Babs: I can see that!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [growls]

Babs: Easy, AJ!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [calm] ROC. [glares at Dragonite; "watching you" gesture] LYCANROC!

Dragonite: [scowls; shows veins] BRWAR!

Karen: [scared] EEP!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [not intimidated one bit] ROC.

Iris: Dragonite!

Iris' Dragonite: BRWAR?

Iris: I said be nice! Either behave or you're going back in your ball!

Iris' Dragonite: [stops] BRWAR.

Haxorus: HAXORUS!

Zee: Rotom, what do you know about Haxorus?

Rotom Dex: Leave it to me, Miss Zatara! Haxorus, the Axe Jaw Pokémon! A Dragon type, and the final evolved form of Axew! While usually kindhearted, it can be terrifying if angered. Tusks that can slice through steel beams are how Haxorus deals with its adversaries.

Zee: Whoa! Now that's strong!

Haxorus: [proud] HAXORUS!

Iris: Yep! I had it ever since it was an Axew!

Jessica: How sweet!

Iris: Yep!

Zee's Sylveon: SYLVEON!

Iris: Whoa! I've heard of these! That's a Sylveon, right? They evolve from Eevee as well, don't they?

Zee: Correct you are, darling! It happens to be my partner!

Zee's Sylveon: [agreeing] SYLVEON!

Iris: I believe Sylveon are Fairy types, right?

Zee: Indeed!

Zee's Sylveon: VEON!

Iris: That's pretty cool! [kneels down and hugs Sylveon; nuzzles cheeks with her] You're so cute and cuddly!

Zee's Sylveon: [happy] VEON!

Iris: It's really cute that it's wearing the same exact outfit as you, Zee! Why is it anyway?

Zee: Well, like Pokémon, like Trainer! It's fabulous just like moi!

Zee's Sylveon: [flips a feeler] VEE!

Ash: And you're very beautiful, Zee!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Zee: Oh, Ashykins! [kisses his cheek] Mwah!

Ash: [blushes] [giggles]

Iris: Uh... I'm a little lost here!

Ash: Oh! Right! Iris, Zee here is my girlfriend!

Iris: Huh?! You're kidding?!

Zee: He's dead serious, honey!

Iris: But how can a guy like you have a girlfriend, Ash, when you're a little kid?

Ash: [embarrassed] Iris! Not in front of Zee!

Zee: [offended] Excuse you?! My honey bunch is not a little kid! He's very mature!

Dawn: She isn't wrong, Iris! [hugs Ash's arm] He's matured very much!

Iris: Not you too, Dawn?!

Dawn: Very much so!

Iris: Alright! If Ash really matured that much, then prove it!

Ash: Gladly! [takes Serena's hand; kneels] Milady! [kisses her hand]

Serena: Oh! [giggles]

Iris: Anything else?

Ash: Sure! Watch this! [pulls Zee in for a passionate kiss on the lips and begins to make out with her]

Zee: [surprised] MMPH! [kisses back; moans passionately]

Iris: [gawks] WAH?!

Then, they separated with half-lidded eye expressions!

Zee: Ash, you're so sneaky!

Ash: [dips her; smirks] So what if I am?

Zee: [giggles]

Ash: [to Iris] That proof enough for you, Iris?

Iris: [gives up] Okay! Okay! You convinced me! [to Dawn] Dawn, are you saying your Ash's girlfriend, too?

Dawn: Sure am!

Serena: Same goes for me and Diana!

Diana: [hugs Ash's arm] Indeed!

Iris: Wait a minute! You have more than one girlfriend?

Ash: [nods] Mhm!

Zee: In other words! He has a harem!

Iris: Wow! That's incredible! What makes you like him a lot, Zee?

Zee: [chuckles] Well, he's not against spoiling a girl, I can tell you that! There's just a certain romantic flair to him that makes him so irresistible!

She then hugged up against him and began to stroke his chin with her fingertip!

Zee: And I like my men irresistible! [kisses both of his cheeks, leaving lipstick marks] Mwah! Mwah!

Ash: [blushes; smiles sheepishly] Aw, Zee! Not in front of Iris!

Zee: Why? Iris needs to know how handsome you are to me!

She then wrapped an arm around his shoulder and began to stroke his chin!

Zee: [caresses his cheek] You have such a perfectly chiseled chin!

Ash: [blushes] [giggles]

Iris: [annoyed] Alright already! You've proven your points! Man, even though you've matured, you're both little kids!

Zee: [offended gasp] How rude!

Zee's Sylveon: [pouts] VEE!

Iris: [to Serena] What's your excuse, Serena?

Serena: Me? It was more of a worthwhile wait for the day that Ash confessed his feelings towards me! Even if it took many years!

Ash: [rubs his neck sheepishly] Sorry, Serena! I was pretty dense back then!

Serena: It's okay, Ash! [hugs him] It was still worth the wait! [kisses his cheek]

Kara: [searching] Aw, dang it! That Geodude and Yungoos got away!

Iris: Why were you looking for those Pokémon anyway?

Ash: She was trying to catch both of them!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Iris: Why both?

Kara: All the better to find the strongest ones to outmatch that good-for-nothing cousin of mine!

Incineroar: INCINEROAR!

Iris: Your cousin?

Ash: Long story! Trust me!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: [to Kara] And yet you still hit me on the head with your PokéBall!

Kara: [annoyed] I said I was sorry! You don't have to rub it in! Jeez!

Iris: [smiles] Fine! I accept your apology! But you still got a long way to go if you think I look like a Pokémon! [holding an apple] Right, Emolga?

Emolga: [takes the apple] EMO MO!

Kara: And what's that supposed to mean?!

Incineroar: [folds its arms; raises an eyebrow] CINEROAR?!

Iris: Only a little kid would mistake a girl like me for a Pokémon!

Kara: [angry] Hold it! I am far from a little kid! I'm a rocker who's hard as nails! I don't play baby games! [to her partner] Ain't that right, Incineroar?

Incineroar: [agreeing] ROAR!

Iris: [teasingly] Riiiiiight. Then, whaddya call chasing after two Pokémon all willy nilly?

Kara: Well... I... [groans]

Iris: [giggles]

Rotom Dex: [as an alarm clock was shown on his screen; beeps in panic] Everyone! School starts in fifteen minutes!

Ash: Fifteen minutes?! Oh no! We gotta go!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Iris: School?

Ash: We'll explain on the way! Let's go!

Iris: [as they begin to run] Wait a minute! Does that mean I'll have to attend school as well?

Ash: Only if you want to!

Babs: Do you?

Iris: Well, I haven't for a long time, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try again with school!

Cilan: Excellent idea!

Ash: Don't worry, Iris! You'll have a good time there! But words of advice! First off, don't get on Principal Chapin's bad side! He can get quite grumpy at times! And second, watch out for Damian, Doris and Leslie, AKA the Troublesome Trio, they're bound to try and either pull some tricks or get on your nerves or to bully you!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!

Iris: Gotcha!

Meanwhile, N was with Goh, who was as usual, trying to catch another Pokémon!

Yungoos: [Tackle move] YUNG!

Goh: Dodge it, Cinderace!

Cinderace: [dodges] CINDER!

Goh: Arctozolt, use Powder Snow!

Arctozolt: [Powder Snow move] ARCTO!

Yungoos: [hit] YUN!

Goh: Now, PokéBall, [tosses the PokéBall] go!

The PokéBall hit Yungoos, making the Loitering Pokémon get sucked in. After a few shakes and a successful 'ping', Yungoos was caught!

Goh's Rotom Phone: Yungoos has been registered to your Pokédex!

Goh: Alright! I caught a new Pokémon!

Goh's Rotom Phone: [alarm sounding] School Time! School Time!

Goh: [gasps] Time for school!

N: It's time we get going!

Ash: [running] Hey, Goh! N!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Goh: Ash!

Iris: Oh! Hey, Goh!

Goh: Whoa! Iris?! You're here too?!

Iris: Mhm!

Goh: When did you get here?

Iris: I arrived here a couple days ag- [sees N] N?!

N: Hello, Iris! So nice to see you again!

Pidove: [greeting] PIDOVE!

Iris: I didn't know you were here too!

N: Indeed I am!

Zee: I hate to break up the reunion, but we have to get going! School starts soon!

Jessica: She's right! I'm giving my campaign speech on running for class president today!

Goh: Oh right! Come on!

Soon enough, they arrived at school and Iris was able to get herself registered in. Later on, an assembly was taking place, and Jessica was giving everyone her campaign speech for class president.

Jessica: [showing them charts while pointing a laser pointer] And as class president, my garden initiative will reduce our school's carbon footprint and provide our cafeteria with fresh vegetables! So, remember, this election day, you can [holds up a poster] "Count on Cruz"!

[cheering]

Kara: Whoo!

Ash: Go, Jessica!

Pikachu: [cheering] PIKA PIKA!

Iris: She's definitely got our votes! Right, Emolga?

Emolga: [affirmative] EMO!

Misty: [applauds] Same here!

Mallow: Yay, Jessica!

Tsareena: [happy] TSAREENA!

Alex: [claps] Yeah!

Chloe: You're amazing!

Eevee: [happy] EEVEE VEE!

Jessica: [coming over to her friends] So? How'd I do?

Zee: Everyone, from seniors…

Hal: Whoo!

Zee: [as a girl stuck a button that said "Vote Cruz" to her shirt] To freshmen, loves you!

Zee's Sylveon: [agreeing] SYLVEON!

Ash: Even their Pokémon love you! Especially the Grass types!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Iris: And you definitely got mine and Emolga's votes, Jess! I would love to have some fresh veggies!

Emolga: [agreeing] EMO EMO!

Cilan: I agree! Think of all the delicious cuisines I can make with freshly grown and picked vegetables!

Kiawe: You've worked really hard for this, Jessica! We're all very proud of you!

Turtonator: [agreeing] TURTON!

Jessica: Thanks, guys. I just hope I get the chance to make a positive change here.

Ash: You've always had made a positive change! Especially the other day when you, Serena and I were helping the wild Pokémon in the park with gathering food and making them homes and making them wooly hats and scarves for the winter!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Jessica: Well true!

Karen: Are you kidding? You're a shoe-in.

Goh: Yeah! And nothing, and I mean nothing, is gonna change that for you!

Sam: Agreed! Rotom, what are the chances of her pulling this off?

Rotom Dex: The chances of Jessica winning this election are… [calculates] calculating, calculating, calculating… 95%!

Kara: Then there's a 5% chance of Jess losing this election!

Goh: Says you, Kara! As I said, nothing, and I mean nothing, is gonna ruin Jessica's chances of victory!

Cinderace: [agreeing] CINDERACE!

Grookey: GROOKEY!

Suddenly, the lights went out!

[lights click]

Ash: Ey! Who's the meatball that turned out the lights?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Sophocles and Alex: [at the same time; scared while hugging each other in fear] I don't like the dark!

[electricity crackling]

Electricity sparked from the scoreboard and apparently, it seemed to be doing a countdown from three.

Goh: Hey! What goes on here?

Gladion: A countdown? But for what?

He soon found out as a certain evil flightless bird of a man made his entrance!

Oswald (Penguin): [spins his umbrella] Hello, Metropolis High.

[students gasps]

Ash: [gasps] PENGUIN?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Dawn: Not him again!

Piplup: [shocked] PIPLUP!

Sam: I don't believe this!

Iris: [with question marks around her] Who?

Emolga: EMOL?

Mallow: Who's Penguin?

Blossom: Never heard of him!

Penguin: Who here is sick of homework?

Damian: I definitely am!

[students assenting]

Ash: And what's wrong with doing homework?

Mallow: Yeah!

Penguin: Well, how about we give those lazy teachers a pop quiz for a change?

The students liked the sound of that!

Damian: [smirks] Sounds promising!

Penguin: And did someone say free [puts his hand to his ear] taco dispensers in the cafeteria?

Ash: Tacos?! That's a load of bologna!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Penguin: Well, if you like what you hear, there's only one choice for president.

Damian: Oh really? And who might that be?

That's when electricity sparked through the air and created Penguin's last name!

Dawn: HIM?!

Piplup: PIPLUP?!

Penguins: Cobblepot!

[cheering]

Ash: BOO! BOO!

Pikachu: [booing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Serena: Yeah! BOO!

Raye: Go lay an egg, you flightless bird!

Sam: [thumbs down] You've caused enough trouble!

Iris: Who does this guy think he is?!

Jessica: I know! Free tacos? Nothing is truly free– [hit by an unknown object; grunts]

Ash: Hey! Who threw that?!

Serena/Usagi: [picks it up] A T-shirt?

Penguin: [firing T-shirts from a cannon] Free T-shirts!

The students began to put on T-shirts that said "Vote For Cobblepot"!

Damian: Nice! [puts on the T-shirt]

Ash: Listen here, Penguin! Cheap T-shirts and promises you aren't gonna keep are not gonna make us vote for- [hit in the face by a T-shirt] OOF!

Zee: [gasps] Ash!

Ash: [groans; swirls in eyes] Ouch!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Serena: Ash! Are you okay?

Ash: [groans; rubs his forehead, which has a red implant] I'm okay!

Serena: You sure?

Ash: No worries, Serena! I'm good! That just hit really hard!

Buttercup: Well, anything balled up and shot out of a cannon could do that!

Ash: [rubs his forehead] Clearly!

Serena: Here, honey! Let me see that boo boo!

Ash: Hm?

Serena: [kisses his forehead]

Ash: [blushes] [giggles]

Serena: There! All better!

Penguin: Now, who's with me?

All the students began to run over to Oswald Cobblepot, leaving only Ash, his friends, and one particular student supporting Jessica in the bleachers!

Ash: You traitors!

Pikachu: [angry] PIKA PIKA!

Babs: Well, I guess everyone forgot Oswald Cobblepot is a total corrupt jerk?!

Kubfu: [glares at Penguin; asking Babs "Who is this man?!"] KUBFU KUB?!

Babs: [picks up Kubfu and holds him close] Someone you don't want to go anywhere near!

Mallow: [to Ash] Who is this guy, Ash?

Ash: Penguin, AKA Oswald Cobblepot, is what you would call a dirty, rotten cheat!

Dawn: You weren't there then, but back then, he had Babs do bad things and he threatened to blackmail her if she didn't do what she was told!

Lillie: Blackmail?! How awful!

Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!

Ash: I know! Plus, he tried to steal my Z-Ring!

Kiawe: HE DID WHAT?!

Lana: He tried to steal your Z-Ring?!

Ash: Yes! But I outsmarted him big time!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Lillie: Thank goodness!

Babs: Yep! No way was I gonna- [sees a flaming aura surrounding Kiawe; nervous] Uh, Kiawe?

Kiawe: [furious] How dare he! HOW DARE HE!

Karen: [scared] Eep!

Iris: What's gotten into him?!

Mallow: Whenever something happens that involves something sacred to the Alola Region, which is our home, he gets livid beyond belief!

Zee: Uh oh.

Penguin: [as the crowd disperses; chuckles] I've got this election in the bag! [sees a familiar group coming over; smirks] Well, look who it is. Didn't think I'd ever- [as Kiawe lifts him by the shirt] WAUGH! Hey! Watch the shirt!

Kiawe: [livid with glowing red eyes] How dare you try to steal the sacred item known as the Z-Ring!

Penguin: What?! Who told you about that?!

Ash: I did!

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking] PIKA!

Lucario: [growls] MRAH RAH!

Penguin: WHAT?! You again?!

Ash: That's right, Penguin! Me!

Penguin: Uh... Look, if you're still mad about last time, that was all in the past!

Ash: [glares at him; as Kiawe released him] Oh, I'm still mad! And if you think you, a dirty rotten cheat, would have any chance of winning this election, you're sadly mistaken!

Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKACHU!

Penguin: Ha! Dream all you want, kid! You've still got LOADS to learn!

Ash: [growls]

Penguin: [to Babs] Well, Miss Gordon! It's been a while! [notices Kubfu; laughs] And what's this?! You caught yourself a teddy bear!

Kubfu: [angry; grits his teeth] KUBFU!

Babs: Hey! Stop making fun of my Kubfu!

Swoobat: [threatening] SWOOBAT!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [threatening] LYCANROC!

Ash: Go eat some fish, tuna breath!

Pikachu: [angry] PIKACHU!

Empoleon: [glares at him] EMPOL!

Penguin: [unamused] Oh. Hello, Empoleon.

Empoleon: [glaring] POL!

Bubbles: Are we missing something here?

Ash: Oh yeah! Empoleon used to belong to that dirty bird until it decided to leave him and join up with Babs!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!

Blossom: You're kidding?!

Babs: Nope! It's true!

Empoleon: POL!

Buttercup: Oh, good grief!

Penguin: You chose the wrong side, Empoleon! Once I got my hands on that Z-Ring, you could've been able to use a Z-Move!

Kiawe: Only the one who is worthy is able to use the Z-Ring! And from your track record, you don't qualify!

Penguin: Whaddya mean?! I had the ring, the Steel type crystal, and a Steel type! That means I was capable of using a Z-Move!

Ash: That's because the one you had was a fake, featherbrain!

Pikachu: [angrily agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Penguin: Oh, right! I forgot! [growls] Stupid kid.

Serena: Hey! My man is not stupid! You're the stupid one!

Lita: Yeah, you stupid bird man!

Damian: [coming over to the group] You might as quit while you're ahead, hippie!

Ash: [angrily growls] Damian!

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly; angry] PIKACHU…

Iris: That's Damian?!

Cilan: Afraid so!

Lita: [angry] What did you just call me, punk?!

Damian: [smirks] You heard exactly what I said!

Lita: [snarls]

Iris: [angry] Wait just a minute! You're the awful and selfish trainer who abandoned Charizard as a Charmander!

Damian: Yeah! That's right! What's it to you? It's none of your business!

Iris: It is so my business! You could've killed Charmander leaving out to die in the rain!

Kiawe: [angry] Agreed! You're nothing but a heartless thug!

Damian: Oh, is that supposed to scare me?! [sees Kubfu; laughs] Ha! Looks like Bat-wannabe brought her teddy bear to school!

Kubfu: [angry; face turns red] [steam coming out of ears] FUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [snarling]

Babs: Stop making fun OF MY KUBFU!

Damian: Oh and what are you gonna do about, Baby Bat? You gonna cry to your Daddy?

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [snarls furiously] [snaps at Damian, who dodges] ROC!

Damian: AH! He snapped at me!

Babs: And he'll do it again and then some if you don't leave now!

Damian: Whatever! [starts to leave with Penguin] So, Ozzy? You say you can get the teachers to do a quiz for a change?

Penguin: Indeed, fine feathered friend! Come! We'll discuss this in my office over a cup of hot joe!

Damian: I like the sound of that!

Babs: [growls angrily while turning red] That Damian is really starting to tick me off!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [angrily agreeing] LYCANROC!

Iris: Anyone who talks that big is such a little kid!

Emolga: [agreeing] EMOL EMOL!

Ash: No argument there, Iris! For once!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Buttercup: [to Empoleon] Sorry you had put up with that loser, Empoleon!

Grovyle: [feeling bad for Empoleon] GROVYLE GRO!

Empoleon: [saying it's cool] EMPOLEON!

Ash: One of the main reasons why Empoleon left Penguin was because it knew how Z-Moves should properly be used!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Mallow: What was the other reason?

Babs: Simple! He was a total corrupt jerk!

Ash: Yep! [to Sam] I thought Jerry was supposed to plant one of those Behavioral Modification Chips into his brain? What could've gone wrong?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Sam: I'll call him about it!

Chloe: [worried] Hmm...

Ash: Meanwhile, what are we gonna do about this situation? Because of Penguin's scheme, he's gonna win the election!

Jessica: No he won't, Ash. By this time tomorrow, the polls will show students are too smart to be wooed by a bunch of empty promises and [holds up a T-shirt] cheap T-shirts.

Ash: You're right! That flightless bird won't know what hit him when he loses!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Lucario: [agreeing] RAH MRAH!

Serena: You're absolutely right, Ashy!

Ash: By the way, Jess, can I see that T-shirt?

Jessica: [hands him the T-shirt] What for?

Ash: [throws it onto the ground; stomps on it] [grunts]

Goh: I guess that's why!

Ash: [spits on the shirt] Patooie!

Pikachu: [spits on the shirt] PIKA!

Clover: Ash! Gross!

Ash: What? Wouldn't you wanna do the same thing to Mandy and her goon gals?

Iris' Dragonite: [burns it with Flamethrower] BRWAR!

The T-shirt was reduced to a pile of ash!

Ash: See? Iris' Dragonite gets it!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Babs: [eyes sparkle] Wow! You know Flamethrower!

Ash: It sure does! Among other moves too!

Iris: So, now that school is pretty much over, what do we do now?

Ash: When we've finished school for the day, we go to one of our favorite spots in all of Metropolis! We'll show you!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Iris: Alright!

Soon, they were at Sweet Justice, enjoying some ice cream!

Iris: Mmm. Yummy! This is almost as good as the Castelia Cones and the Bearticones!

Haxorus: [eating ice cream] HAXOR HAXOR!

Emolga: [eating ice cream] EMOL!

Excadrill: [eating ice cream] EXCA!

Gible: [eating ice cream] GIB GIB!

Ash: By the way, Iris, when did you get a Gible?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Iris: I caught it while I was in Blackthorn City!

Ash: Wow! Awesome!

Iris: [to Zee] I'm surprised you have one too, Zee! I at first thought you were a Fairy type specialist!

Zee: Well, who says I don't expand my variety? Take my Sobble for instance! [while Sobble is eating its ice cream] It's not a Fairy type, but I still caught it anyway! Honestly, I also go for cute Pokémon too!

Iris: That makes sense! [pets Sobble's head] And Sobble is an absolute cutie pie!

Sobble: [happy] SOBBLE!

Zee: Yeah!

Zee scooped some of her ice cream and turned to Ash with a flirtatious smile!

Zee: Ashykins! Say 'ah'!

Ash: [smiles] Ah!

Then, she fed him her ice cream!

Ash: [giggles] Thanks!

Zee: My pleasure! [boops his nose] Boop!

Ash: [giggles]

Pikachu: [smiles] PIKACHU!

Kubfu: [eating ice cream] FU FU FU FU FU FU!

Babs: Slow down, Kubfu! You don't wanna get a brain freeze and a stomachache, do ya?

Kubfu: [stops] KUB!

Babs: Try savoring every bite of your ice cream!

Kubfu: KUBFU...

Babs: You'll enjoy it better that way!

Kubfu: [nods] FU!

Then, Kubfu started to savor every bite of its ice cream!

Kubfu: FU...

Babs: You see?

Kubfu: [nods] KUB!

Iris: You know! I'm really liking Metropolis! But I don't like that Penguin guy! Anyone who thinks they can make promises he can't keep and cheap T-shirts is such a little kid!

Haxorus: [agreeing] HAXORUS!

Emolga: [agreeing] EMOL!

Ash: Tell me about it!

Sam: I just got off with Jerry! He said that he somehow managed to sneak out of his cell in WOOHP without anyone noticing, so he couldn't plant the Behavioral Modification Chip into his brain!

Dawn: [gasps in shock] No way!

Piplup: [shocked] PIPLUP!

Ash: So much for tight security and surveillance!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Kiawe: I say we grab him and drag him back!

Marowak (Alolan): [agreeing] MARO MAROWAK!

Kara: And how do we manage to do that?

Mallow: Trap a bird how it should be trapped! In a large birdcage!

Tsareena: TSAREENA!

Blossom: But how are we gonna find a birdcage big enough for that flightless bird of a man?

Ash: Sam, could Jerry have the big brains at WOOHP make a large birdcage big enough to trap Penguin in?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Sam: I can try!

Ash: Oh! By the way, Iris! There's something we've been meaning to show you!

Iris: There is? What is it?

Babs: This! [pulls the lever]

Then, they fell through the floor and into their base!

Iris: [gasps] How did you do that?! Where are we?!

Ash: Our secret base!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: Secret base? But why?

Ash: Shall we, ladies?

Diana: Indeed we shall!

Then, in a bright flash of light, they transformed!

Iris: [gasps]

Aura Guardian: Impressed? We're superheroes who protect Metropolis from evildoers! Roll call!

Batgirl: Batgirl!

Green Lantern (Jessica): Green Lantern!

Supergirl: Supergirl!

Bumblebee: Bumblebee!

Zatanna: [sing-song voice] Zatanna!

Wonder Woman: Wonder Woman!

Aura Guardian: And Aura Guardian!

Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian: Together we are. The Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!

Iris: My mind is officially blown!

Haxorus: [awed] HAXOR…

Emolga: [awed] EMO!

Iris: I can't believe you're a super hero, Ash! You're even gold!

Aura Guardian: The Golden Aura Hero of Justice!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Iris: Unbelievable!

Aura Guardian: I know! Believe me! I was just as surprised as you were!

Zatanna: [hugging Ash from behind] And yet you're still handsome like this! [strokes his chin with her finger tip] It really brings out those hazel eyes of yours.

Aura Guardian: [blushes; chuckles] Zatanna, please!

Zatanna: Just speaking the truth! [kisses Ash on lips]

Aura Guardian: [kisses back]

Iris: Now I HAVE seen everything!

Ash: [as they transformed back] Yes! That's why, for your own safety, you have to keep this a secret!

Iris: Ash! I knew that from the start! All super heroes have to keep their identities a secret! You're not the only one who knows about super heroes, you know! Such a little kid!

Ash: I'm serious, Iris! There are high level supervillains out there and if any of them were to get their hands on you, your life would be in danger! And I don't wanna lose a friend!

Dawn: Neither would I!

Iris: Don't worry! My lips are sealed!

Diana: Excellent!

Ash: Thanks, Iris!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Iris: No pro-

Haunter: [appears; scares her] HAUNTER!

Iris: WAH!

Haunter: [laughing] [saying "You should've seen the look on your face!"] HAUNT HAUNT HAUNT HAUNT HAUNT HAUNT!

Zee: [sternly] Haunter! What did I tell you about scaring our guests?

Haunter: [disappointed] [apologetic] HAUNT HAUNT.

Iris: I take it this Haunter belongs to you, Zee?

Zee: Indeed it does! But it's quite the prankster!

Iris: So I see!

That's when she noticed Jessica's Pokémon Egg!

Iris: Hey! A Pokémon Egg! [goes over to the Pokémon Egg] Incredible!

Jessica: Yep! That one happens to be my egg!

Babs: We had 'em, too!

Ash: And Jessica's egg is the only one that hasn't hatched yet!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: I wonder what it'll hatch into! [to Zee, Diana, Babs, Kara, and Karen] What about you girls? What did yours hatch into?

As she said that, the Pokémon that had already hatched came into view!

Kirlia (Airalin): [twirls] KIRLIA!

Combusken: COMBUSKEN!

Noibat: NOIBAT!

Helioptile: HELIOPTILE!

Magby: MAGBY!

Iris: Wow! Amazing!

Haxorus: HAXORUS!

Ash: These Pokémon hatched from five of the eggs we had!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: I see!

Kirlia (Airalin): [dances] KIRLIA KIRL.

Iris: Wow! A Kirlia!

Zee: Yep! This is my baby girl, Airalin!

Kirlia (Airalin): [bows] LIA.

Iris: Airalin? What does that mean?

Emolga: EMOL?

Zee: It means charisma!

Iris: Oh! So, you named your Kirlia out of charisma?

Zee: Mhm. When you're a beautiful magical girl such as moi, you have to think of a charismatic name for a female Pokémon partner for a girl with charisma!

Zee's Sylveon: [agreeing] SYLVEON!

Iris: I guess that makes sense!

Ash: [smiles] You're not wrong, Zee! You are super beautiful and elegant!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Zee: [giggles] Naturally! And you still say the sweetest things, Ashykins!

Ash: What can I say? It's what I do! [blushes] And I love the attention you give me!

Zee: [giggles] What can I say? I'm the one in love with the Pokémon Master!

Then, she wrapped her arms around him and caressed his chin!

Zee: And you're the only one for me!

Ash: [blushes; chuckles] Right back at you, Zee! Same goes for the rest of my girls!

Kara: If you're done, I wanna ask Iris something!

Iris: Hm? What is it, Kara?

Kara: You and me! Let's battle! I wanna see how strong the Unova Region Champion is!

Incineroar: [flexes] CINEROAR!

Iris: Sure thing! But maybe another time! It's getting pretty late!

Ash: She's right! Anyone up for a sleepover here at the base?

May: Sleepover at the base?

Ash: Why not! Check out what I found out about our couch! [smacks the couch]

That made a bed pop out of it!

Babs: [eyes widen; excited] How did I not realize it could do this sooner?!

Ash: You should definitely read your tags more carefully!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Ash: Anyway, how about it?

Kara: Eh. Why not!

Jessica: I'm down with that!

Bonnie: Me too! Me too!

Rini: I wanna!

Suddenly, Jessica's egg jumped!

Ash: Jess, look! Your egg!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Bonnie: It jumped!

Dedenne: DENNE!

Jessica: Does that mean it's gonna hatch?!

However, the egg stood still!

Karen: I guess not!

Bonnie: Why did it jump?

Ash: They sometimes do that!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Jessica: I just can't wait to see what my egg will hatch into!

Bonnie: Me too!

Ash: It'll be exciting to see! That's for sure!

Iris: I know! [to Babs] Noibat's a Dragon type, right, Babs?

Babs: Yeah! Why?

Noibat: NOIBAT?

Iris: Cutie!

Noibat: [as Iris scoops it up; surprised] NOI!

Iris: You're just so soft and fuzzy! And you have tiny little wings, too!

Noibat: [uncomfortable] NOIBAT NOI.

Ash: Easy, Iris! Noibat's looking a little uncomfortable!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Iris: Oh! Sorry!

Noibat: [flies onto Babs' shoulder] NOIBAT!

Jessica: Anyway, Iris! You said you met lots of other different Dragon type Pokémon on your big world adventure, right?

Iris: Yeah? Why?

Jessica: I was wondering if you wouldn't mind telling us what kind of Dragon types you've met and befriended!

Bonnie: I wanna know!

Max: Me too!

Iris: Sure! I'd be happy to tell you!

Rini: Yay!

So, Iris told the group all about her adventures and all the Dragon type Pokémon she encountered on her journey throughout the night! However, after school, the next day, Jessica was unfortunately falling behind on the election!

Zee: [reading on her phone] Cobblepot poll numbers rise, thanks to big promises and free T-shirts.

Ash: [with Rini on his lap] That dirty rotten cheat is making monkeys out of everyone at school!

Rini: And Auntie Jessica is gonna lose to that dirty bird man if we don't do something!

Jessica: [as Babs ate her ice cream worriedly] So what? His numbers are up. I mean, we're still in the lead, right, Zee?

Zee: Sorry, but, well, we're actually a little behind.

Ash: More like way behind!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Zee: Okay, WAY behind.

Amara: This can't be good.

Jessica: How bad is it?

Zee: Uh, our school mascot, Hammy the Hamster, he's not running, [holds up her phone] but he's beating you.

And she was right! The school's mascot was ahead of her!

Ash: Why would a school mascot be in the lead when he's not running?

Pikachu: PIKA.

May: I have no idea!

Rini: At this rate, you'll lose the election for sure, Auntie Jess!

Trista: There must be something she can do! But what?

Kara: Okay, hear me out. Maybe you should promise a bunch of impossible stuff, like Cobblepot does.

Gladion: [bangs his fist on the table] Absolutely not!

Kara: You got any better ideas?

Jessica: Gladion's right. He may have a flashy campaign, but we will always have one thing he doesn't.

Rini: And what's that?

Clover: Good looks?

Darien: A winning attitude?

Serena/Usagi: Confidence?

Jessica: No, no, and close... integrity.

Rini: What does that mean, Uncle Ash?

Ash: It means being honest, having strong moral principles, and being completely upright!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Rini: Ohhhhhh.

Diana: I agree, Jessica. Your message is that of truth.

Lillie: Agreed! Part of being a good class president is being completely honest!

Vulpix (Snowy): VUL!

Kara: [rolls her eyes] [groans, snores]

Ash: You know, [to Pikachu] this whole situation is bringing us back some Parisian memories, huh, Pikachu?

Pikachu: [agreeing; smiles] PIKA PI!

Diana: Or perhaps your campaign could stand some [snaps her fingers; wakes Kara up] pizazz!

Kara liked the sound of that!

Serena/Usagi: Oh! I know! How about baking some yummy Jessica-themed sweets to promote her campaign? You know like chocolates, cookies, the works!

Raye: As long as you don't do the baking, Serena!

Serena/Usagi: What's that supposed to mean?!

Raye: You know fully well what I mean! You're a terrible cook! And besides, like Ash, all you usually think about is food and stuffing your face!

Serena/Usagi: You're one to talk, Miss "I don't have household appliances in my temple"!

Raye: [blows a raspberry at Serena]

Serena: [blows a raspberry at Raye]

Iris: [whispers to Darien and Ash] Do they always act like this?

Ash: Sometimes, yes!

Darien: You have no idea!

Iris: Man, what a couple of little kids!

Haxorus: HAXOR!

Jessica: I suppose I could use a little pizazz to get my message out there.

Karen: Ooh, [as Babs presses her cheek against her's and wraps an arm around her shoulder] Babs, Sophocles, Clemont and I could make a commercial.

Sophocles: Yeah!

Clemont: An excellent idea!

Jessica: Yes, [writing down on a notepad] great idea.

Zee: [gasps; raises her hand] Ooh! And Serena and I can give you an image overhaul!

Serena (Pokémon): Yeah! [winks] Makeovers are our specialties!

Serena/Usagi: Are sweets based off of you an option, Jess?

Jessica: It's not a bad idea! [writes it down] I'll put that as a maybe!

Kara: And I may be able to land you a [flexes her arm] super celebrity endorsement. [cocks her eyebrow]

Jessica: No way. You'd actually ask Superman to give me an endorsement?

Rini: [sparkling eyes; excited] Superman?!

Kara: What? No, no. Not Superman. Supergirl!

Lana: You have to be in the commercial as yourself! People might get suspicious if you're gone and Supergirl's there!

Kara: [groans] Okay, fine. I'll ask Clark.

Rini: Auntie Kara doesn't like Superman, does she, Uncle Ash?

Ash: Not really, Rini! They have a bit of a rivalry!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Ash: Oh! I know! Maybe we can also host a Pokémon Contest! And May and Dawn can perform their contest skills and make fireworks that will say "Vote for Jessica Cruz!"!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Jessica: That's a spectacular idea! [writes it down]

May: That's our Ash!

Dawn: Always so smart!

Rini: Brains and brawn are what make my Uncle Ash special!

Ash: [giggles]

Carol: [appearing behind Serena/Usagi] Did somebody say "Pokémon Contest"?

Serena/Usagi: [startled] Oh! Where did you come from?

Ash: [happily gasps] Carol!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!

Carol: Hiya, Ashypoo!

Then, the two of them hugged!

Ash: What are you doing here?

Carol: Well, I heard someone say something about a Pokémon Contest and I figured I could make my entrance!

Ash: [chuckles] I figured!

Carol: After all, if it's to help my gal pal, Jessica, then I'll do anything and everything I can!

Rini: You'd do that, Auntie Carol?

Carol: Of course, my dear! Besides!

She then positioned herself in Ash's lap and wrapped her arms around him!

Carol: [while nuzzling cheeks with Ash with a bunch of hearts around them] I'd do anything for my Ashypoo! [kisses his cheek] Mwah!

Ash: [blushes; giggles] Aww!

Jessica: Glad to have you on board to help, Carol!

Then, out on its own from one of May's PokéBalls appeared a certain Kitten Pokémon!

Skitty: [appearing] NYEAH!

May: [gasps] Skitty!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA! [leaps down to it; greeting] PIKA PIKA!

Skitty: [happy; greeting] NYEAH!

Rini: Aww! What a cute little kitty!

Ash: [pulls out his Rotom Phone] You're close, Rini! [shows her the screen] Look!

Ash's Rotom Phone: Skitty, the Kitten Pokémon. A Normal type. Skitty is known to chase around playfully after its own tail. In the wild, this Pokémon lives in holes in the trees of forests. It is very popular as a pet because of its adorable looks.

Carol: ADORABLE IS RIGHT!

The pink cheerleader immediately took the Kitten Pokémon into her arms!

Carol: It's so cute!

Skitty: [happy] NYEAH!

Then, it saw Carol's ponytail and...

Skitty: [tries to catch Carol's ponytail] NYEAH! NYEAH! NYEAH!

Carol: Oh!

May: Skitty's trying to catch your ponytail!

Amara: [chuckles] That is rather amusing.

May: But that's not all! Watch what Skitty can do with its tail! Skitty, assume the position!

Skitty: [affirmative] NYEAH! [jumps out of Carol's arms while May pulled out two small rubber balls]

May: Skitty, [tosses the balls to it one at a time] use your tail! Use Double Slap!

Skitty: [Double Slap move] NYEAH! NYEAH!

Using its tail for Double Slap, it was juggling the balls with its tail!

Skitty: [juggling] NYEAH! NYEAH! NYEAH!

Jessica: Wow! That's amazing!

Rini: I didn't know it could do that!

Carol: Cute and talented!

Ash: [to Jessica] You've got this election in the bag, Jessica! With all of us helping you, that flightless bird won't know what hit him!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Kiawe: [with fire burning in his eyes] We will burn him hotter than the lava of Wela Volcano!

Jessica: Thanks, guys. All right, it's time for Operation Pizazz!

[all cheer]

Ash: Let's do this!

Then, the screen changed to a flag as a commercial for Jessica played with her wearing a green female bellhop's uniform along with white gloves!

Babs: What can Jessica Cruz do for you?

She was seen shaking hands with her fellow students, including Babs, who had her dog, Ace the Bat-Hound!

Babs: The real question is, what can't she do?

Ace then jumped on Jessica and started licking her face! Jessica was now seen at the library with Garth, and he seemed to be struggling with some school work!

Babs: She can help when you need it most.

Just when Garth slammed his face onto the desk, Jessica tapped his head and gave him a hint on what to write! Then, the two of them hugged!

[horn honking]

Babs: She can work harder than anyone.

Jessica was now seen picking up trash near the highway and dumping it all into a garbage truck!

Trubbish (3): [happy] TRUBBISH TRUB!

Kara was seen playing her guitar at the Lazarus Pit with a banner above her saying "Count on Cruz"!

[rock riff playing]

[crowd cheering]

Jessica gave a nearby rocker a button of her, who decided to place it on his vest and began to rock with her!

Babs: And she can play pretty hard, too.

Jessica's poll soon started to slowly rise!

Ash: She has her way with Grass type Pokémon and knows when to step in!

Garbodor: [threatening] GARBODOR!

Seviper: [threatening] SEVIPER!

Beedrill: [threatening] SPEAR SPEAR!

Cottonee, Whimsicott and Petilil: [scared] COT.../WHIMS.../PETI...

Luckily, Jessica's Reuniclus, Lampent and Deerling came to their defense!

Reuniclus: REU!

Lampent: LAMPENT!

Deerling: DEER!

Jessica: Ahem!

Garbodor: GAR?

Seviper: VI?

Beedrill: SPEAR?

Jessica: [giving them a disapproving look; waves her finger] [gestures them to leave]

That made the three Poison types slink away!

Jessica turned to the three Grass types with a caring smile and gestured them to come over! The three Grass types were so happy they began to jump onto Jessica and smother her with affection!

Cottonee: [affectionate] COTTONEE!

Whimsicott: [affectionate] WHIMSICOTT!

Petilil: [affectionate] PETILIL!

Jessica: [laughs]

Next scene showed Mallow, Brock, Cilan and the Sailor Scouts baking different things like cookies and chocolates and, with Carol's help, made some of them in the shape of Jessica's head!

However, Raye and Serena began to argue as usual!

Raye: Serena! That's not how Jess' face is supposed to look!

Serena/Usagi: What do you mean?!

Raye: You made Jess' nose all crooked!

Serena/Usagi: I did not!

Raye: You did so! I can see it!

Serena/Usagi: Oh, and you're doing a better job?!

Raye: Better than you any day! [blows a raspberry at Serena]

Serena/Usagi: [blows a raspberry at Raye]

Luckily, Brock and Cilan separated them before this could escalate any further! Superman was flying over the school's football field while spelling "Count on Cruz" in the sky, as a bunch of fireworks went off! Then, he landed beside Jessica and some nearby students who were watching him back to take selfies with Metropolis' #1 superhero! Superman winked at Kara, who just looked away and rolled her eyes. Next scene was May, Dawn, Serena and Carol doing their Pokémon Contest!

Serena: Use Mystical Fire and Fairy Wind!

Carol: Shadow Ball and Spark!

Dawn: Use Bubble Beam!

May: Psychic!

Delphox: [Mystical Fire move] DEL...PHOX!

Sylveon: [Fairy Wind move] VEON!

Duskull: [Shadow Ball move] DUS...KULL!

Plusle and Minun: [Spark move] PLU!/MIN!

Piplup: [Bubble Beam move] PIP...LUP LUP LUP!

Beautifly: [Psychic move] BEAUTIFLY!

The moves combined, thanks to Beautifly's Psychic, and created fireworks that said "Count on Cruz!"!

May, Dawn, Serena and Carol: Count on Cruz!

Soon enough, Jessica's poll started to rapidly rise! She was in the lead! At the end of the video, Ash and all his friends, alongside some of the school's students, gathered around in the background with Jessica in the middle! Even Superman slid into the ending!

Babs: So, this election, what can you do?

All: You can count on Cruz!

Pikachu: [saying "Count on Cruz!"] PI PIKACHU!

Penguin was watching this commercial in his office from his laptop! He didn't like this one bit!

Penguin: How am I losing to this sap? [shuts his laptop] That stage show spectacle was supposed to seal the deal.

Damian: Why are those losers voting for that hippie?!

Leslie: [kicks her feet onto the desk] What can I say? People trust Cruz.

Penguin: Yes, those yahoos do trust her, don't they?

Damian: We just need to get them to lose that trust! [gets an idea; smirks] Ozzy, I've got an idea.

Penguin: Really? Do tell. What's your scheme?

Damian: We need to make a video that's completely false about Cruz! People here would easily fall for it!

Penguin: Oohoho! An excellent idea! [chuckles menacingly; to Leslie] I've got another job that requires your talents.

Leslie: [sparks her hands with electricity] It's about time–

Penguin: No, let's save those talents for Plan B. Right now, I need one of your specialty videos.

Leslie: [frowns; ceases the electricity] Fine, but you still haven't paid me for that stage show.

Meanwhile, in another classroom, Zee's phone showed that the poll for Jessica had drastically risen!

[phone chimes]

Zee: Whoo-hoo! You're officially ahead, Jess!

Ash: Alright!

Pikachu: [happy] PI PIKACHU!

Rini: Auntie Jessica is winning!

Bonnie: Yippee!

Dedenne: [happy] DEDENNE!

Jessica: Our hard work is paying off.

Serena/Usagi: And we got leftover sweets as a reward! [eats some chocolate] OM!

Max: Awesome!

Ash: And with all this hard work, nothing is gonna ruin it!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Mewtwo (off-screen): [communicating through their minds] Don't count on that, my friends!

Ash: [gasps] Mewtwo?!

Mewtwo (off-screen): Do not worry! I am communicating with you in your minds! I was spying on our enemy, Oswald Cobblepot, and he plans to make Jessica look bad by making a video! He might make it out of the commercial you guys made!

Ash: He what?!

That's when the TV turned on and an edited version of the commercial began to play!

Woman on TV (Leslie): Jessica Cruz promised to shrink our carbon footprint and bring vegetables to school. But ask yourself this.

The student and Jessica laughed, but the camera zoomed in on Jessica making a creepy face!

Woman on TV (Leslie): Did anyone ask for vegetables?

A label that said "NOT COOL" was placed across her face!

Ash: So that's the play, huh?!

Another scene showed Jessica handing out flyers in the hallway!

Woman on TV (Leslie): And can you trust someone who thinks your footprints are "too big"?

The screen zoomed in on her feet and one of Penguin's goon's feet!

Woman on TV (Leslie): This is Metropolis, Jessica. Big is what we do.

A check mark was placed across the goon's foot with another "NOT COOL" label across Jessica's feet!

Ash: [growls angrily with fire burning in his pupils]

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly; angry] PIKA...

Finally, the screen changed to the Metropolis High flag with Jessica waving!

Woman on TV (Leslie): So this election day, go ahead, count on Cruz…

A pair of devil horns, angry eyebrows and frown were depicted on Jessica with her holding a sign that said "NO FREEDOM", with flames edited in the background!

Woman on TV (Leslie): To take away your freedom.

Then, the TV went off!

Ash: Why that dirty rotten cheat! If that's how he wants to play, then we gotta up our game! I think it's time to make a video to make Cobblepot look like a big doofus!

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

Diana: [places a hand on his shoulder] Dear, you know fully well if we did that, we'd be no better than that ruffian.

Michelle: She's right! We mustn't stoop to his level!

Ash: Do you guys have any better ideas?!

Zee: [scoffs] Darling, people won't buy those lies. Right?

Student: Hey, Cruz! [showing his bare-naked foot] My feet, [wiggles his toes] my footprints.

Carol: [disgusted] Ugh! Grody!

Kiawe: [glares at him] Keep wiggling that in front of us and I'll break it! NOW SCRAM!

And he did just that, like a scared kitty cat! Jessica took a look at her phone, and her poll had unfortunately decreased!

Ash: Okay! It's official! You might not do something about this situation, but I will! [starts to walk off] Nobody makes a monkey out of my friends and gets away with it! [pulls out his Rotom Phone] Now, where in my photos did I keep that footage from our first encounter with Penguin!

Carol was about to go after him, but Trista placed her arm in front of her!T

Trista: I believe it's best if we let him try to handle this situation for now and if it doesn't work, we all take action together.

Carol: [nods; whimpers]

Later on, Ash and Iris were walking with Diana and Jessica through a hallway of flyers depicting Jessica in a negative manner!

Jessica: I just wanted to make our school a better place. I thought standing by my convictions would be enough. But maybe being a loudmouth mudslinger like Cobblepot is the way to go.

Ash: [gasps] WHAT?! No way! We're not gonna have you pull a Penguin! What I wanna do is make him look like he's the doofus around here by making everyone remember how he treated Babs and had blackmailed everyone for his sick and twisted game! And once I get that footage uploaded with my bit on Jess is awesome and not Cobblepot, they'll reconsider their choice! But I also wanna either abandon that dirty flightless bird on a deserted island or throw him down a Raticate hole!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Jessica: Look, Ash! I know how you feel about all of this and I wanna win this as much as you want me to!

Ash: I know! Cobblepot is trying to ruin your reputation! Just like I remember with that snob, Chloé, trying to ruin Marinette's reputation when she was trying to run for class rep!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Lucario: [remembers that well; scowls] MRAH RAH!

Jessica: That almost sounds a lot like my situation!

Ash: Yeah! So anyway, you'll let me post the video when I have it finished, right, Jess?

Jessica: [smiles; places a hand on his shoulder] Of course.

Ash: Awesome! He won't know what hit him!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Iris: You'll win the election for sure, Jess!

Jessica: Thanks, you two. But still, I can't help but worry since he's ahead right now, there's a chance of him winning.

Diana: Nonsense! The final debate tomorrow is your chance to stand strong and remind everyone of what I have known about you since the day we met. [hugs Jessica] You can always count on Cruz.

Ash: Yeah! Count on Cruz!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Lucario: [agreeing] MRAH RAH!

Iris: And you can trust and believe that I can help in any way I can!

Jessica: [smiles] Thanks, you guys.

Ash: [to Diana] Diana, me and Iris are gonna go help Jess find a way to win this election and beat that despicable bird! You cool with that?

Diana: Of course, my love! [kisses his cheek] [places her hands on his shoulders] But don't forget to meet up with me later! [nuzzles noses with him] I wouldn't want to miss your adorable face.

Ash: Okay!

After she left, a familiar laugh could be heard from Penguin's office!

Penguin: [laughing]

Ash: Sounds like Penguin's startin' up more trouble!

Pikachu: PIKA?

Jessica: [whispers] Let's listen. Don't make a sound.

Ash and Iris: [nods] Hm.

Ash, Iris and Jessica squatted down near the door to Penguin's office and listened to what he was saying.

Penguin: We have this election in the bag. And to think that chump Cruz thought she'd get by on her integrity. [chuckles] Doesn't she realize integrity's overrated?

Damian: Yeah! For sure! [laughs] And that loser Ash thought having his friends make sweets and perform silly routines would help that wimpy Cruz's reputation rise! [laughs]

Penguin: I know! How pathetic can you get?! [laughs]

Ash: [snarls] Why those dirty, little…

Penguin: You know, when I'm president, I think I'll make this school's footprint even bigger…

Ash, Iris, and Jessica: [gasp]

Penguin: …just to spite her. [laughs]

Damian: [laughs]

Jessica was mad now and turned to a poster of Penguin that was on the wall!

Jessica: You wanna go big? [rips the poster off the wall; grunts] Let's go big! [crumples the poster up]

Ash: Yeah!

Iris: Bigger! Better!

Pikachu: [complying] PIKA!

Lucario: [complying] MRAH RAH!

Ash: Wait a minute. [to Jessica] Jess, by go big, what do you mean? What are you planning?

Jessica: You'll see, Ash. It's sure to help me win. [winks] Trust me. [walks away]

Ash: Wait, Jess! [to Iris] Iris, I think I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this.

Iris: Me too!

Ash: [in his head] Jessica, whatever you're planning to do, I hope you know what you're doing.

["Who's That Pokémon?" time]

[As a silhouette shows a dragon Pokémon with an axe jaw]

Ash, Zee, Diana, Jessica, Babs, Kara, Karen, Serena, Goh, Iris, Cilan, and Mallow: Who's that Pokémon?

Ash, Zee, Diana, Jessica, Babs, Kara, Karen, Serena, Goh, Iris, Cilan, and Mallow: It's Haxorus!

[As the silhouette reveals Haxorus]

Haxorus: HAXORUS!

[End]

The next day, everyone was gathered in the gym for the final debate!

Lois: Good morning, Metropolis High. We're moments away from the final debate before this afternoon's election.

Penguin was already on his podium while waving to the crowd with a smug grin, however, Jessica had yet to turn up.

Lois: I'm Lois Lane, representing the Daily Planetoid. [unamused] Joining me is your student-selected moderator, Hammy the Hamster.

Hammy: [squeaks]

Mallow: [coos] So cute!

Lois: And I also happen to be dating the one and only Pokémon Master here at this school! And he's Ash Ketchum! [calls out to him] Love ya, honey!

Ash: [giggles]

Karen: Guys, where's Jessica?

Ash: I don't know!

Mallow: You don't think something bad could've happened to her, do you?

Iris: I doubt it!

Cilan: I agree! I'm sure she'll arrive soon!

Pansage: [agreeing] PANSAGE PAN!

Penguin: Well, I was looking forward to a debate, but it appears my opponent has chickened out.

Emolga: [angry; throws an apple at him] EMOL!

Penguin: [hit by the apple] Ow! Hey!

Emolga: [turns away] EMOL!

Ash: You be quiet, Cobblepot! Jessica's gonna show up soon! Just you wait!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Penguin: Oh really? Do tell. Do you see Miss Cruz anywhere?

Ash: [growls angrily] [goes to stand up] Wait 'til I get my hands on-

[fanfare music plays]

[students gasps]

Ash: Huh?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

That's when they saw Jessica!

And she seemed to be wearing a flashing green outfit with a cape, a headband with green hamster bobbles, and was holding a megaphone!

Ash: JESSICA?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Lucario: MRAH?!

Mallow: It can't be!

Serena: What is she wearing?!

Clover: [covers her eyes] I so cannot look at this!

Jessica: Who's ready to rock this school?!

[crowd cheering]

Zee: [whispers] I so did not sanction that outfit.

Ash: I know you didn't, Zee!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Ash: I think Jess has gone off the deep end!

Lana: Very off the deep end!

Jessica: What's cooler than a free T-shirt? [pulls out a bazooka] Ten free T-shirts!

Lillie: Oh my!

Jessica: Bazooka coming at ya!

[students cheering]

She began to fire the T-shirts, and the students who were hit were now wearing them!

Ash: What does she think she's doing?! [hit in the face by a T-shirt] OOF!

Pikachu: [gasps] PIKA!

Ash: Ouch!

Carol: [gasps] Ashy!

Amara: Are you alright?!

Ash: [swirls in eyes] I'm fine!

Lita: What's gotten in to Jessica?

Lillie: [as Carol hugs Ash and kisses his forehead] I'm not sure! But I'm certainly not liking this one bit!

Jessica: [firing shades from a bazooka] Speaking of cool, have some shades!
Some of the students were now wearing green shades! Including Hammy the Hamster!

Ash: This is getting ridiculous!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Lois: Let's get to our first question. As president, what can you promise to do to make this school a better place?

Penguin: Aside from my free taco machine, I–

Jessica: [interrupts him] Oh, we've all heard my opponent's taco machine pipe dream.

Penguin: It's not–

But Jessica just blew an air horn right at him!

[air horn blares]

Penguin: Ow!

Ash: Honestly, that bird deserved that!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Kiawe: Agreed!

Jessica: [leans on his podium] Quit thinking so small, Ozzy. This is Metropolis. Big is what we do. [brings over a chart] I promise a free taco, free burrito and free burger machine. Not in the cafeteria, but in every classroom.

[students cheering]

Ash: [gasps] She better not be doing what I think she's doing!

Lita: I think she is!

Mallow: How could you, Jess?!

Jessica: And that's just the beginning. How about [waves a pair of car keys] valet student parking? [writes down on a notepad] Optional attendance for all classes. [wraps her arms around a pair of girls] And did someone say Up Past 8 is playing prom?

Girls: [chanting] Count on Cruz!

Students: [all chanting] Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz!

Ash: This isn't right!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Max: Yeah! It's wrong!

Bonnie: Very very wrong!

Dedenne: [agreeing] DEDENNE!

Penguin was backed into a corner and gained a serious look!

Penguin: [pulls out his phone] Looks like it's time for Plan B.

Students: [chanting continues] Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz!

Jessica was happy about all the praise she was getting, but then she noticed the uncomfortable looks on her friends' faces! She even saw the worried looks on her Pokémon's faces!

Reuniclus: [worried] REU!

Lampent: [worried] LAMP!

Deerling: [worried] DEER!

Petilil: [worried] PETILIL!

Snivy: [worried] SNI!

Pikipek: [worried] PIKI!

Student: Come on! Promise more stuff, Jess.

Student #2: Yeah! If you say it, it's gotta be true!

A female student who was supporting Jessica became saddened at what she was doing and took off the pin that said "Vote Cruz", dropping it to the ground.
Ash began to leave the bleachers with a disappointed look on his face, not before looking at Jessica one last time!

Ash: You blew it this time, Jess. And to think you had integrity.

Pikachu: [disappointed] PIKACHU.

Lucario: [scowls] MRAH RAH.

Now, Jessica felt terrible! She knew what had to be done!

Jessica: [shouts] STOP!

And that made everyone stop!

Ash: Huh?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Lucario: MRAH?

That's when she fixed herself and changed her thought process!

Jessica: I'm sorry. I can't promise any of those things.

Ash: [gasps] Jess…

Jessica: I got so desperate to win, I forgot why I got into this race to begin with. And I was willing to promise you guys anything.

The heroes started to smile that their friend was realizing her mistake!

Jessica: The only thing I can promise, truly promise, is that I will work tirelessly and honestly to make our school the very best it can be. And that is the Cruz you can count on.

Ash: Atta girl, Jess.

Pikachu: [smiles] PIKACHU.

Lucario: [smiles] MRAH.

Mallow: [smiles; claps]

Lita: There's the integrity Jess we know and love!

Kiawe: Agreed! That's the class president we need!

But then, there was trouble! Electricity was seen sparking across the banner!

Ash: Hey! What goes on here?

Pikachu: PIKA?

May: What was that?!

Penguin smirked, knowing his plan was now in motion!

Penguin: [acting] Oh, no! Hammy, watch out!

Ash: Huh?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Then...

[electricity crackling]

Livewire appeared and was holding Hammy captive!

Livewire: [acting] Nobody move [rolls her eyes] or the hamster gets it.

[students gasp]

Jessica: Livewire!

Ash: Not her again!

Iris: Who is that?!

Lita: Livewire! A super villain with electrical powers!

Bonnie: And she's super dangerous!

Kiawe: Now, Marowak, use-

Penguin: [steps in; acting] Sorry, but you mess with my school's beloved hamster, you mess with me.

Ash: Is he serious? What does that guy think he's doing?

Pikachu: [tilts his head in confusion] PIKA?

Penguin began to "fight" Livewire, but this was only him making karate poses and flailing around.

Penguin: [grunting]

Livewire: [imitates groaning]

Livewire "fell in defeat" and Penguin caught the hamster's cage.

Livewire: [sarcastically] Oh, man, that hurts so bad. Ow. Ow.

[students gasp]

Serena/Usagi: [blinks] Uh... What just happened?

Raye: I think those two just put on a little drama act.

Gladion: [facepalms] You cannot be serious.

Ash: [rushes over to Lois; takes her hands] Lois, are you okay?

Lois: I'm fine! Don't worry about me, sweet pea! I'm okay! [kisses his cheek]

Ash: [sighs in relief]

Penguin: [takes the microphone] You're welcome. How's that for a class president? [snorts] Do we even need to vote?

Ash: Oh please! You just staged this act with Livewire so you can get more votes!

Penguin: [faking it] Staged this? Good sir, I have no idea what you're on about! This electric eel simply came out of nowhere and decided to put our beloved school mascot in danger, and I gladly did the good deed of saving this adorable creature!

Ash: Don't try and pull the wool over my eyes, bird brain! Your tone doesn't even show a hint of sincerity! And you're basically a con man looking to make big bucks! Ladies and gentlemen of the school, if you would pay close attention to this little presentation on behalf of Jessica Cruz, you'll see that Cobblepot isn't the right one for you! [plays a video from his Rotom Phone projected onto a big screen]

Penguin: [tosses the microphone aside] Wait wait wait! Let's not make any hasty decisions!

Ash: Oh, don't you try and...

Tossing the microphone was a big mistake. The microphone landed in Lois' coffee mug, causing it to short circuit and let a drop of electrified coffee bounce off, hitting a loose strand of Livewire's hair. The electric villainess grinned evilly, as a jolt of electricity was shot from her hair towards the lights, creating an electric dome that trapped everyone inside!

[students screaming]

Ash: Uh oh!

Pikachu: [worried] PIKACHU!

Iris: What's going on?!

Rini: I'm scared!

Cilan: It's alright, Rini! [tosses a PokéBall] Stunfisk, let's go!

Stunfisk: [appearing; flops around] STUN STUNFISK!

Cilan: Absorb that electricity!

Stunfisk: [absorbs the electricity] STUNFISK!

Stunfisk was able to absorb the electricity with ease, but it still kept coming! Luckily, Jessica created constructed items from her ring to shield the students from the raining electricity!

Ash: We've gotta do something!

Penguin: [exclaiming; dodging] [turns to Livewire] Hey! Do something!

Ash: [growls] I knew it!

Livewire: No way! [laughs] This is too [wipes a tear] funny. Besides, you only paid me to take a fall. Which reminds me, [glares at him] you still owe me for my stage show and commercial. Consider this payback. [bolts away]

Ash: [to Penguin] You did what?! You hired Livewire to pull this stunt?!

Penguin: So what if I did? I never intended this to go this far! [realizes what he just said; covers his mouth]

Student: Hey, you hear that? This fight was a set-up. Oswald's a fraud!

[students booing]

Ash: I told you all that he's a dirty rotten cheat! I set tomatoes up on the left side of the bleachers if anyone wants to throw some at this turkey!

However, most of the students were too scared to even move!

Ash: Oh right. The electricity!

That's when Karen spotted the power box that lead to the lights!

Karen: Oh, no! We have to cut the power before the dome comes down!

Kara: [rolls up her sleeve] We need to save the school!

Iris: And how are we gonna do that?!

Diana: Someone already is!

That was when they saw Jessica leaping into action! She was spinning a flag to knock the bolts of electricity away from her!

Cilan: Stunfisk, help Jessica with the electricity!

Stunfisk: [nods affirmatively] STUN! [absorbs the electricity] FISK!

Jessica: Thanks, Stunfisk!

Cilan: Jess, use Stunfisk as a shield! Since it's a Ground and Electric type, the electricity won't have any effect on it!

Jessica: Good idea!

Then, she picked up Stunfisk and held it like a shield!

Stunfisk: [winks at her] STUNFISK!

Jessica: Let's do this, Stunfisk!

Stunfisk: [determined] STUNFISK!

The electricity kept raining down, but Stunfisk kept absorbing it!

Stunfisk: [grins] FISK!

However, a jolt of electricity was heading straight towards Carol!

Carol: [gasps]

Ash: Look out, Carol! [shoves Carol out of the way just in time; hit; electrocuted] GUH!

Carol: [gasps in horror] ASH!

Serena: Honey, no!

Brock: Are you alright?!

Ash: [grunts] Don't worry! I'm okay! After being hit by Pikachu's electric attacks for years, I'm used to it!

Carol: [hugs him; whimpers]

Jessica used the flag to pole vault herself towards the power box and aimed Stunfisk at the main button!

Stunfisk: [Mud Bomb move] STUN...FISK!

That hit the main button on the power box!

Jessica: [lands; exhales sharply]

The electricity powered down and the dome disappeared!

Ash: Alright! She did it!

Pikachu: [happy] PI PIKACHU!

Jessica: We did it, Stunfisk! [holds up her hand] High fin!

Stunfisk: [happily returns it] STUNFISK!

Student 2: Count on Cruz!

All students: [chanting] Count on Cruz!

Girl supporting Jessica put her button back on and began to join in!

All students: [chanting] Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz!

That made Jessica smile!

Ash: [chanting] Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz!

Pikachu: [chanting] PIKACHU! PIKACHU! PIKACHU!

Lucario: [chanting] MRAH RAH MRAH! MRAH RAH MRAH!

Everyone: [chanting] Count on Cruz! Count on Cruz!

Jessica's Pokémon then rushed over to her!

Jessica: Everyone!

Reuniclus: [hugs her] REU!

Lampent: [happy] LAMPENT!

Petilil: [happy] PETILIL!

Pikipek: [on her head; happy] PIKIPEK!

Snivy: [proud] SNIVY!

Deerling: [happy] DEERLING!

Jessica smiled while shedding a tear of joy and brought all her Pokémon into a group hug!

Lita: That's our green-thumb girl!

Mallow: Agreed!

Tsareena: [pleased] TSAREENA!

Bonnie: Yay, Jessica!

Dedenne: [happy] DEDENNE!

However, Penguin was trying to sneak away!

Ash: [grabs Penguin by the back of his shirt]

Penguin: WAGUH!

Ash: And where d'ya think you're goin'?!

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKACHU!

Penguin: Uh... [smiles nervously; chuckles nervously]

Carol stomped over to Penguin with an angry look on her face!

Carol: [angry] You're gonna pay for messing with my man, you ignoramus stool pigeon!

Ash: I think it's time someone had a little brain surgery with adult supervision!
Penguin: [going pale; gulps nervously]

Jerry: [coming in with several WOOHP agents] Say no more, my friend!

Carol: Who's this?

Ash: Let me introduce you! This is Jerry! Head of a secret organization that helps save the world! Jerry, this is my newest addition to my harem and reformed hero of our hero team, Carol Ferris!

Jerry: A pleasure, Miss Ferris!

Carol: [curtsies] Likewise!

Penguin: Y-You can't plug one of those mind control chips into my brain! You people are crazy!

Ash: Oh, don't worry! They aren't mind control chips! They aren't that cruel! They're Behavioral Modification Chips! And once they plant it in your skull, you'll never have another aggressive thought for as long as you live! Take 'im away, boys!

WOOHP Agent #1: [takes Penguin away] Say no more, kid!

Penguin: I'm innocent I tell you! Innocent! Livewire made me do this!

Ash: Your lies will do you no good when you've been reprogrammed, you turkey! [to Jerry] I trust you'll take it from here, Jerry?

Jerry: But of course!

Ash: Thanks! And make sure he becomes a model citizen and learns about integrity!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Penguin: [groans] Have mercy.

Rini: See ya never, bird brain! [sticks her tongue out at him] NYAH!

Empoleon: [sighs in relief; saying "So long, Oswald."] EMP EMPOLEON.

Babs: And good riddance!

Gladion: [looks at Jessica; smiles] Well, I think it's pretty obvious who the new class president is now.

And he was right! Through a unanimous vote, Jessica was the new class president!

Cilan: It's settled then!

Ash: Best election ever!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Soon, the school day was over and our heroes were hanging out outside with Ash giving Rini piggyback rides!

Rini: Whee!

Ash: [laughs]

Pikachu: [laughs] PIKA PIKACHU!

Lita: I'm sure glad we got rid of that flightless bird once and for all!

Serena/Usagi: And I'm certain he'll never be dirty rotten chest ever again after WOOHP's finished with him!

Blossom: I agree!

After Ash set Rini down, Carol began to act clingy towards Ash!

Carol: [while hugging Ash] And we've got the best man around to thank for sending him packing! [swoons] And he saved my life! My hero! [grabs Ash by the cheeks and smashes her lips onto his]

Ash: [surprised] MMPH!

Pikachu: [surprised] PIKA!

Ash: [kisses back]

Then, they started to make out!

Ash and Carol: [moaning into their kisses]

Buttercup: [gags; looks away]

Then, they released with half-lidded eyes!

Ash: I love you, Carol!

Carol: And I love you, sweet lips!

Iris: [sweat drops; smiles awkwardly] Clearly! So, Carol? What's your excuse? Why do you like Ash?

Carol: [laughs] What's my excuse?! Honey, my Ashypoo here showed me what real love feels like since our first encounter! And now, he and I are together forever!

She then cuddled him like a teddy bear and pressed her cheek against his!

Carol: And I couldn't be happier than to be with him!

Ash: Likewise for me, Carol!

Carol: [strokes his cheek] He's much more dreamier and handsomer than Hal Jordan!

Iris: Hal Jordan?

Jessica: The jock at our school! And Carol's ex!

Iris: Ex?!

Ash: Yep! He is the WORST at romance!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Iris: He sounds like such a little kid!

Jessica: Oh, believe me! He is!

Ash: You have no idea! [crosses his arms] He describes Carol as "super clingy"! If you ask me, I really like her being clingy to me!

Carol: [smiles; happy] Really?! Oh, Ashypoo!

She then kissed him on the cheek!

Carol: You're the best!

Ash: [blushes; chuckles]

Misty: Anyway, Babs! You still up for that battle with me?

Babs: [squeals excitedly] Yes I am!

Kara: Wait! You two were gonna battle?

Misty: Yeah! We scheduled a battle together so she can try and earn the Cascade Badge!

Lana: Wow!

Buttercup: This is gonna be good!

Jessica: You managed to get a badge from Misty when you battled her, right, Ash?

Ash: Sure did!

Misty: [with a blank look] In my defense, I gave him mine out of pity!

Brock: [with a blank look] Yeah! That does ring a bell!

Ash: [sweat drops] Yeah, it's true.

Zee: Though, I'm sure those times, you had your reasons! Right, honey bunch?

Ash: [smiles] In a way, Zee! Yeah!

Brock: Well, you're not wrong there! Even though he won fair and square at my gym, he left my gym without receiving a badge when my little brothers and sisters tried to interfere!

Misty: And for me, it was because he saved my gym from Team Rocket!

Darien: Well I'll be!

Zee: That's my Ashykins! Always ready to save the day!

Ash: Aw, it was nothing!

Misty: So, anyway! Ready, Babs?

Babs: YES!

Ash: Then, let's head over to the base!

Bonnie: But, Ash! They can't battle at the base!

Ash: Oh yeah? Follow me and I'll show you!

When they got to the base, and went down to the first lower level of the base, they saw another flight of stairs and when they went down, they could hardly believe their eyes! The second lower level had a large area with different kinds of battlefield! Standard, Grass, Ice, Water, Rock and Sand!

Babs: [gasps deeply; eyes sparkle]

Ash: I present the base's battle area! I used the time over the past few weeks to set up these battlefields of different types for training or for when one of us is challenged to battle! I divided them into separate rooms for certain battles! Right now, we're in the Standard Battlefield room! And since you're battling Misty, who is a Water type expert, Babs, the Water Battlefield is in the room beyond the door on the left!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Babs: EEE!

Zee: So that's why I didn't see you in school the few weeks ago!

Ash: Yeah! Were you guys surprised?

Babs: VERY SURPRISED!

Soon, they had gone into the room containing the Water Battlefield!

Amy: Incredible!

Ash: Yep! Perfect for you and Misty, Babs!

Babs: Alright! Ready to battle, Misty?

Misty: I sure am! But just so you know, I won't go easy on you!

Babs: And I don't plan on you to!

Soon, they were in their opposing sides, ready to battle!

Lita: I'll act as referee! This is a three-on-three Pokémon battle between Babs, the challenger, and Misty, the Cerulean City Gym Leader! Each side will have the use of three Pokémon with no time limit! Furthermore, only the challenger can substitute Pokémon! Now, trainers, bring out your Pokémon!

Misty: [pulling out a PokéBall] Staryu! Come out, [tosses the PokéBall] my steady!

Staryu: [appearing] HYAH!

Babs: So, you're using your steady, huh? [pulls out a PokéBall] Then I'm using MINE! [tosses the PokéBall] Spread your wings, Swoobat!

Swoobat: [appearing] SWOOBAT!

Misty: You can have the first move if you want, Babs!

Babs: Don't mind if I do!

Lita: Alright! Battle begin!

Babs: Swoobat, let's start things off with a little Psyshock!

Swoobat: [Psyshock move] SWOO...BAT!

Misty: Staryu, Swift attack!

Staryu: [Swift move] HYAH!

The stars sliced through the Psyshock!

Babs: Huh?!

Misty: Now, Bubble Beam!

Staryu: [Bubble Beam move] HYAH!

Babs: Dodge it! Quick!

Swoobat: [dodges] BAT!

Babs: Now, use your Gust attack!

Swoobat: [Gust move] SWOO...BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT!

Staryu: [getting pushed back] HYAH! HYAH!

Misty: Staryu, dive into the water!

Staryu: [dives into the water] HYAH!

Babs: Uh oh! Careful, Swoobat! Staryu might pop out anywhere!

Swoobat: [searching] SWOO! BAT!

Misty: Staryu, Rapid Spin!

Staryu: [appears from the water; Rapid Spin move] HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Swoobat: SWOO? [hit] BAT!

Babs: Swoobat, no!

Misty: Use Bubble Beam!

Staryu: [Bubble Beam move] HYAH!

Swoobat: [hit] SWOOBAT! [falls into the water]

[SPLASH!]

Swoobat: [flails around in the water] SWOOBAT! SWOOBAT!

Babs: Swoobat, no!

Misty: Staryu, help Swoobat out of the water!

Staryu: [helps Swoobat out of the water] HYAH!

Swoobat: [pants] BAT BAT... SWOO... BAT... [sighs] SWOO...

Jessica: Why would Misty have Staryu help Swoobat when it's Staryu's opponent? Don't get me wrong, that was definitely the right thing to do!

Ash: [with Rini on his shoulders and Pikachu on Zee's] Since Swoobat are flyers and not swimmers, it's only natural to help a Pokémon that can't swim!

Babs: Swoobat, are you okay?!

Swoobat: [shakes the water off] SWOOOOOOOOO! [nods affirmatively] BAT!

Babs: Can you still go on?

Swoobat: [nods] SWOOBAT!

Babs: Awesome! Then, let's use Brave Bat!

Swoobat: ["Brave Bat" move] SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...BAT!

Misty: Dodge it, Staryu!

Staryu: [dodges] HYAH!

Babs: Do it!

Swoobat: [flies back around; "Brave Bat" move] SWOO…BAT!

Staryu: [hit] HYAH!

Misty: What?! But how?!

Babs: Just a little trick I picked up while training!

Misty: [smirks] That's pretty impressive, Babs! But check this out! Staryu, use Power Gem!

Babs: Power Gem?!

Staryu: [Power Gem move] HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Swoobat: [hit] SWOO!

Babs: Swoobat, no!

Clemont: Power Gem is a Rock type move! Super effective against a Flying type like Swoobat!

Babs: Use Thunder Wave!

Swoobat: [Thunder Wave move] SWOO...BAT!

Staryu was hit and left with paralysis!

Staryu: [gemstone core blinking]

Diana: What is this strange blinking I'm seeing from its gemstone?

Ash: That's indicating that Staryu is getting weak from being paralyzed!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Jessica: How can you tell?

Ash: It happened with her Starmie when I battled her before, it's only natural that its pre-evolved from had that same characteristic!

Artemis: Fascinating!

Babs: Use Gust!

Swoobat: [Gust move] SWOO...BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT!

Staryu: [hit] HYAH!

Misty: Staryu, use Bubble Beam!

Staryu: [Bubble Beam move] HYAH!

Swoobat: [hit] BAT!

Babs: No!

Swoobat fell in defeat!

Swoobat: [dazed; swirls in eyes] SWOOBAT…

Babs: [gasps]

Lita: Swoobat is unable battle! Staryu wins!

Amy: Swoobat's out!

Raye: Which means Babs has only two Pokémon left!

Babs: [returns Swoobat; smiles] Thanks for your help, Swoobat. You did great. You get a good rest.

Luna: Even though Swoobat lost, Staryu has taken quite a lot of damage!

Artemis: If Babs wants to win this, she'll need to use either an Electric type or a Grass type to have the upper hand!

Kara: Hate to break it to ya, but I don't think she has either of those.

Ash: I wonder who she'll use next!

Babs: And now, [pulls out a PokéBall] for my next Pokémon stepping up to the plate! Babs calls [tosses the PokéBall] Noibat!

Noibat: [appearing] NOIBAT!

Mina: Noibat? But why?

Clemont: Water type moves aren't that effective against Dragon types!

Luna: But Noibat is also a Flying type!

Artemis: Yeah! And with Staryu knowing Power Gem, which is a Rock type move, Noibat will be at a disadvantage!

Ash: Babs must be planning something! But what?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Babs: Ready, Noibat? Bring justice to our fallen bat friend!

Noibat: [determined] NOIBAT BAT!

Babs: Now, use your Screech attack!

Noibat: [Screech move] NOIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

Staryu: [starts to get pushed back inch by inch] HYAH! HYAH!

Misty: Staryu!

Ash: Now, I get it! Her Noibat knows Screech! She's trying to lower Staryu's defense!

Babs: Noibat, Wing Attack!

Noibat: [Wing Attack move] NOI…BAT!

Staryu: [hit] HYAH!

Babs: Now, use Air Cutter!

Noibat: [Air Cutter move] NOI...BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT!

Staryu: [hit] HYAH!

Misty: Staryu, use Bubble Beam!

Staryu: [Bubble Beam move] HYAH!

Babs: Do that evasive maneuver we practiced, Noibat! Aerial spiral maneuver!

Noibat: [nods affirmatively] NOI! [flies; spins] NOIBAT!

Noibat managed to dodge the Bubble Beam with that maneuver!

Misty: [gasps]

Babs: Top that!

Misty: Use Power Gem!

However, Staryu's core began to blink again, indicating it was unable to move!

Misty: Huh?

Luna: The paralysis is still in effect!

Lana: Staryu can't move!

Babs: Now, Noibat! Use this opportunity to unleash your new move! Absorb!

Noibat: [Absorb move] NOI...BAT!

Staryu: [pained] HYAH!

Noibat absorbed Staryu's energy, knocking it out!

Misty: Staryu.

Lita: Staryu is unable to battle! Noibat wins!

Babs: Oh yeah! Who's the bat? You're the bat!

Noibat: [proud] NOIBAT!

Misty: [returns Staryu] Staryu, you were great! Now take a nice long rest!

Babs: One down, two to go!

Misty: This battle ain't over yet, Babs! [while pulling out a PokéBall] Because your Noibat is about to meet its match! Now, come out, my steady! [tosses the PokéBall]

Politoed: [appearing] POLITOED!

Lana: How cute! It's a Politoed!

Rotom Dex: Politoed, the Frog Pokémon. A Water type. Although its cries sound like screams, a composer created a beautiful ballad that was influenced by the sounds.

Jessica: That's pretty impressive!

Ash: I remember that Politoed well! Misty had it ever since it was Poliwag that evolved into Poliwhirl and then used a King's Rock that I had to evolve into Politoed!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Karen: A Poliwhirl can do that?

Rotom Dex: Indeed! Poliwhirl evolves into Poliwrath with the use of a Water Stone! Poliwhirl evolves into Politoed by holding a King's Rock!

Diana: Fascinating!

Politoed: [dancing; claps] POLITOED! POLI POLI POLITOED!

Kara: [snickers] Wait, is it dancing?!

Ash: It often does that when it's happy!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Misty: Ready for battle, Politoed?

Politoed: [affirmative] TOED!

Misty: Then, let's start off with Water Gun!

Politoed: [Water Gun move] POLI...TOED!

Babs: Aerial Spiral Maneuver!

Noibat: [flies; spins] NOIBAT NOI!

Noibat dodged the attack!

Misty: Use Double Slap!

Politoed: [Double Slap move] POLI...TOED!

Noibat: [hit] NOI! BAT!

Babs: Noibat, use your Absorb!

Noibat: [Absorb move] NOI…BAT!

Politoed: [pained] TOED!

Babs: Bullseye!

Diana: Absorb?

Artemis: That's a Grass type move, isn't it?

Clemont: Indeed! The user attacks by draining the target's nutrients. Some of the damage dealt to the target is absorbed by the user to restore their own energy! Noibat has a huge advantage!

Luna: Let's hope so!

Misty: That's pretty impressive that Noibat knows a Grass type move, Babs! But's let's see if it can handle this! Politoed, use Swagger!

Politoed: [Swagger move] POLI!

Noibat: NOI?

Noibat's attack power increased, but it was now confused!

Noibat: [confused] NOIBAT NOI!

Babs: Huh?! Noibat, snap out of it!

Kara: Why's it confused?

Brock: Although Swagger can raise the opponent's attack power, it can also confuse it as well!

Buttercup: So, Noibat's powered up and confused? Crazy!

Babs: Come on, Noibat! You can do this! Use Wing Attack!

Noibat: [confused; Wing Attack move] NOI...BAT!

Politoed: [hit] TOED!

Mina: You were right! That Wing Attack looked strong!

Misty: Use Waterfall!

Politoed: [Waterfall move] POLI...TOED!

Noibat: [hit] NOI!

Jessica: Waterfall? What's Waterfall?

Rotom Dex: Waterfall! The user charges the target at an awesome speed. It can also be used to climb a waterfall. This may also make its target flinch!

Jessica: I see!

Babs: You've got this, Noibat! Don't let the confusion get to you! Use Air Cutter!

Noibat: [confused; Air Cutter move] NOI...BAT BAT BAT!

Politoed: [hit] POLI!

Misty: Hang in there, Politoed! Water Gun now!

Politoed: [Water Gun move] TOED!

Noibat: [confused; hit] NOI!

Babs: No, Noibat!

Misty: Use Double Slap!

Politoed: [Double Slap move] POLI...TOED!

Babs: Use Screech! Quick!

Noibat: [snaps out of its confusion] NOI! [Screech move] NOI...BAT!

Politoed: [covers its ears] TOED!

Bonnie: It isn't confused anymore!

Ash: Babs may have a chance!

Babs: Now, use Absorb!

Noibat: [Absorb move] NOI...BAT!

Politoed: [pained] TOED!

Misty: Politoed!

Politoed: [panting] TOED... TOED... TOED...

Babs: Time to finish this with Air Cutter!

Noibat: [Air Cutter move] NOI...BAT BAT BAT!

Misty: Use Water Gun!

Politoed: [Water Gun move] POLI...TOED!

The Air Cutter sliced through the Water Gun and scored a direct hit on Politoed!

Politoed: [hit] TOED! [skids back and falls in defeat; swirls in eyes] POLI...

Lita: Politoed is unable to battle! Noibat wins!

Babs: Alright! That's my little batty bat!

Mallow: That's two wins in a row for Noibat!

Tsareena: [impressed] TSAREENA!

Ash: But there's still one more Pokémon she has to try and defeat! Her ace Pokémon!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Misty: You may have defeated Staryu and Politoed! But now it's time to bring out [pulls out a PokéBall] the big guns! Now, come out, [tosses the PokéBall] my steady!

Gyarados: [appearing] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Babs: [gasps deeply]

Noibat: [shocked] NOIBAT!

Lana: [eyes sparkle] She's using Gyarados!

Ash: Her mighty ace Pokémon!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Babs: That sea serpent doesn't scare me! Now, Noibat! Air Cutter, let's go!

Noibat: [Air Cutter move] NOI...BAT BAT BAT BAT BAT!

Misty: Gyarados, Hydro Pump!

Gyarados: [Hydro Pump move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

The Air Cutter tried to slice through, but the Hydro Pump was superior!

Noibat: [hit] NOI!

Babs: No! Noibat!

Noibat: [shakes it off] NOI NOI NOI!

Babs: Quick, Noibat! Use Absorb!

Noibat: [Absorb move] NOI…BAT!

The attack landed on Gyarados, but it only did partial damage!

Serena/Usagi: Huh?! But Gyarados is a Water type! That should've done a huge number on it!

Ash: While it's true that Gyarados is a Water type, it's also a Flying type! And Pokémon who are Water and Flying types can take neutral damage from Grass type attacks!

Lillie: It's true!

Babs: You coulda told me that sooner?!

Misty: Use Hurricane!

Gyarados: [Hurricane move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Noibat: [pained] BAT!

Babs: Noibat, no!

Noibat: [weakened] NOIBAT...

Babs: Use Screech!

Noibat: [Screech move] NOIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

Gyarados: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Babs: Yes!

But unfortunately, that Screech was all it could muster until...

Noibat: [falls foward; defeated] NOI... [swirls in eyes] NOIBAT...

Lita: Noibat is unable to battle! Gyarados wins!

Babs: NO!

Artemis: Poor Noibat! Unleashing that Screech attack must've drew out the last of its energy!

Diana: And now it is only one Pokémon for each side now!

Babs: [picks up Noibat] You okay, Noibat? [returns Noibat]

Rini: Auntie Babs only has one Pokémon left!

Raye: I wonder which one it is!

Ash: We're about to find out!

Babs: [serious face] Alright! No more games! This is where I get serious! [pulls out a PokéBall] Batman serious! Now, Ace Jr.! [tosses it] Let's go!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [appearing; howls determinedly] LYCANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Mina: Huh?! But a Rock type like Lycanroc is at a huge disadvantage against a Water type like Gyarados!

Iris: Is she crazy?!

Cilan: What's her strategy?

Babs: Alright, boy! You ready for this?!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [bangs its fists together; determined] ROC!

Babs: Oh yeah! Let's start this off by giving them a nice big SNARL!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Snarl move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!

Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAR!

Zee: A direct hit!

Misty: Gyarados, use Crunch!

Gyarados: [Crunch move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Babs: AJ! Counter attack!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Counter move] ROOOOOOOOOOOC!

Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAR!

Babs: Yes! Got 'em!

Misty: It's gonna take more than that to stop Gyarados! Time for our secret weapon!

Gyarados: [affirmative] GYARA!

Then, she revealed her Keystone on her hair rubber band!

Babs: [gasps deeply]

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [eyes widen] ROC?!

Ash: Here it comes!

Misty: My power, pride and beauty! My one and only blue sweetheart! [activates her Key Stone] Mega Evolve!

Then, Gyarados mega evolved into Mega Gyarados!

Mega Gyarados: GYARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Rini: [hugs Ash in slight fear]

Ash: It's okay, Rini!

Carol: [clings to Ash]

Ash: It's okay, Carol!

Raye: What is that?!

Lana: [eyes sparkle in amazement] Gyarados just Mega Evolved!

Luna: That's Mega Gyarados?!

Rotom Dex: Indeed it is! [takes pictures]

Babs: Even if it's mega evolved, which is pretty awesome, my AJ is still gonna kick your butt! Use Stone Edge!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Stone Edge move] LYCANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! ROC!

Mega Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAAR!

Kara: And Stone Edge scores a direct hit!

Misty: Gyarados, use Rain Dance!

Mega Gyarados: [Rain Dance move] GYARA!

Then, it started to rain!

Carol: Eek! [uses her Power Ring]

She used her Violet Lantern Power Ring to create an umbrella over her, Ash, Zee, and Serena!

Carol: There! Nice and dry!

Buttercup: Big deal! It's just a little rain!

Carol: [scoffs] Uh, hello? I don't wanna ruin my hair or catch a cold! And neither would Ash, Zee or Serena! [flips her hair]

Buttercup: [rolls her eyes]

Ash: [smiles] I still think you'd look so beautiful, Carol! Even with wet hair!
Pikachu: PIKA!

Carol: Aww, darling!

She then kissed him on the cheek!

Carol: [hugs Ash and rubs his cheek with her hand] You say the sweetest things!

Ash: [blushes; giggles]

Kara: I'm with Buttercup! What's a little rain gonna do?

Clemont: When a Pokémon uses Rain Dance, it boosts the power of Water type moves!

Amara: That means Ace Jr. is in trouble!

Artemis: I hope Babs knows what she's doing!

Babs and Misty: Use Crunch!

Lycanroc and Mega Gyarados: [Crunch move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOW!/GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Both Crunch attacks made contact with each other! Both Pokémon skidded backwards, but aren't down yet!

Misty: Use Hurricane!

Mega Gyarados: [Hurricane move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Babs: Quick, do-

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [dodges] ROC!

Blossom: It dodged before Babs could finish!

Lillie: It must be very well trained!

Diana: Impressive!

Misty: Gyarados, use Hydro Pump!

Mega Gyarados: [Hydro Pump move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [hit] ROC!

Babs: NO!

Clemont: Super effective!

Babs: AJ, are you okay?!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [shakes it off] RRRRRRRR! [affirmative] LYCAN!

Babs: [grins] Atta boy! Snarl!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Snarl move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!

Mega Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAAR!

However, it only did little damage!

Babs: Huh?! That barely did anything!

Rini: But why?

Ash: Oh! I forgot! When Gyarados mega evolves it loses the part Flying type and gains the part Dark type!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKACHU!

Babs: You coulda told me that sooner?! Again!

Ash: It slipped my mind!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Clemont: Her Lycanroc's Crunch won't do that much damage neither!

Raye: Looks like she can only hope on Stone Edge and Counter doing enough damage!

Brock: Most likely Counter! Fighting type attacks are super effective against Dark types!

Misty: Your Lycanroc's pretty serious, Babs! I'll give you that! Now, Gyarados! Use Hurricane!

Mega Gyarados: [Hurricane move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [barks in pain] ROC!

Babs: Hang in there, AJ! Stone Edge, now!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [gains a serious look] ROC! [Stone Edge move] LYCANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Mega Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAAR!

Babs: Nice one, boy!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [proud] LYCANROC!

Misty: Gyarados, Crunch time!

Babs: AJ, Counter attack!

Mega Gyarados: [Crunch move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [Counter move] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOC!

Mega Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAAR!

Babs: Yes!

Misty: Use Hydro Pump!

Mega Gyarados: [Hydro Pump move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [hit] LYCAN!

Babs: Alright! That does it! No more games! [reveals her Z-Ring] Time to finish this!

Mallow: She's gonna use a Z-Move!

Babs: Ready, AJ?

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [affirmative] ROC!

Babs: Then, let's do this! [begins to pose]

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [determined] ROC!

Babs: [starts the pose as Ace Jr. copies] When there's a light, there's always a shadow! And in the dark of night, more shadows will lurk as they bring us the power of dark forces of justice! Just like Batman!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [empowered] ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Babs: Use Black Hole Eclipse!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr): [Black Hole Eclipse Z-Move] LY...CAN...ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! ROC!

Mega Gyarados started to get sucked in!

Mega Gyarados: [struggling] GYAAAA!

Babs: Come on, come on…

Then, Gyarados got sucked into the Black Hole Eclipse!

Mega Gyarados: [pained] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

[BOOM!]

Misty: Gyarados!

When the smoke cleared, Gyarados changed back to normal and was knocked out!

Lita: Gyarados is unable to battle! Lycanroc wins! Which means the match goes to Barbara Gordon!

Babs: EEEEEEEEEE! WE WON! WOOHOO!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [howls victoriously] LYCANROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

Ash: Alright, Babs!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKACHU!

Zee: She really did it!

Zee's Sylveon: SYLVEON!

Babs: AJ! [hugs Ace Jr.] We did it! I'm so proud of you! [kisses Ace Jr. on the cheek]

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [pleased] LYCANROC.

Babs: [strokes his chin; hugging him] [coos] Who's Mama's big strong wolfy boy? You are! Yes, you are!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): ROC!

Misty: [returns Gyarados; smiles] You did amazing, Gyarados! You take a nice long rest!

Soon, they came off the battlefield and faced each other!

Misty: Congratulations, Babs! You've beaten me fair and square!

Babs: Thanks, Misty!

Misty: [while pulling out the Cascade Badge] As proof of your victory, you get the Cascade Badge!

Babs [overjoyed] EEEEEEE! [takes the Cascade Badge] I JUST GOT MY VERY FIRST GYM BADGE!

Swoobat: [happy] SWOOBAT!

Noibat: [happy] NOIBAT!

Lycanroc (Ace Jr.): [happy] LYCANROC!

Pikachu: [happy] PI PIKACHU!

Ash: Way to go, Babs! You just got your very first Gym Badge! How does it feel?

Babs: It feels amazing! Robin, eat your heart out! 'Cause I got a gym badge and you don't!

Kara: Nice work, kid! But you're forgetting I'm ahead of you and Zee [gestures at herself with her thumb] by two.

Everyone minus Kara: [some amused and some not] Oh, Kara!

Ash: [wraps an arm around Misty] Nice job out there, Misty! Still the best and most beautiful Water type extraordinaire I know and love!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PI!

Misty: Thanks, my handsome water flower! [kisses him] Mwah! [hugs him like a teddy bear; coos]

Ash: [blushes; giggles]

Hoopa: [coming in] Everyone! Come quick! Miss Jessica's egg is doing something!

Jessica: [gasps] My egg?!

When they got upstairs, they saw Jessica's egg glowing!

Brock: Her egg! It's beginning to hatch!

And he was right! Then, the egg hatched into a certain Seed Pokémon but with little heart shapes on its forehead!

Bulbasaur: BULBA...

Ash: Whoa! It hatched into a Bulbasaur!

Pikachu: [awed] PIKA PIKA...

Jessica: Hi there, Bulbasaur!

Bulbasaur: SAUR?

Jessica: I'm Jessica! It's nice to meet you! Welcome to the world!

Bulbasaur: BULBASAUR... [smiles] BULBA!

Jessica: [giggles] Say, Bulbasaur? How would you like to join up with me, the Green Thumb Girl!

Bulbasaur: BULB?

Jessica: That's me! I'm the Green Thumb Girl!

Bulbasaur: [nods affirmatively; smiles] BULBASAUR!

Jessica: [pulls out a PokéBall] Okay then! [taps it onto Bulbasaur]

Bulbasaur was then sucked into the PokéBall! After a few shakes and a quick 'ping'...

Jessica's Rotom Phone: Bulbasaur has been registered to your Pokédex!

Jessica: Alright! Bulbasaur, welcome to the Green Lantern team!

Ash: Alright, Jess!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKACHU!

Jessica then brought Bulbasaur out of her PokéBall!

Bulbasaur: [appearing] BULBASAUR!

Jessica: Bulbasaur, I hope you and I can become great friends!

Bulbasaur: [happily nods] BULBA!

Jessica: [picks it up] You sure are cute!

Bulbasaur: [nuzzles against her cheek] BULBA!

Jessica: [laughs] That tickles!

Ash: I guess Bulbasaur likes you already, Jess!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Babs: [sees the hearts on Bulbasaur's forehead] Hey! Look at its forehead!

Karen: It's got hearts on its forehead!

Carol: How cute!

Ash: I guess that means this Bulbasaur is a girl!

May: You're right!

Ash: Reminds me of your Venusaur back when it was a Bulbasaur, May!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

May: You're right on that, sweet pea!

Brock: [smiles] I'd look at Bulbasaur and Snivy, if I were you!

They did just that!

Snivy: [touching Vine Whips with Bulbasaur; happy] SNIVY!

Bulbasaur: [happy] BULBASAUR!

Rini: Aww! They're friends already!

Ash: [chuckles] Whaddya know! They're just like brother and sister!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Iris: That's really sweet!

Kara: Well, it's official! All of our eggs have hatched!

Ash: Yep! And not only that, Penguin's gone for good, Jess is now class president and Babs won her first gym badge!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Babs: I know! [takes out her badge case and places the Cascade Badge in]

Ash: And best of all, all of the eggs have hatched!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Ash: And hopefully, if Penguin ever comes back, he'll probably be a changed bird rather than a tired and ruffled one!

Everyone: [laughing]

[Recap Time]

Babs: It's Recap Time!

Ash: Hey, girls! Who'd'ya meet today?

[as Pokémon cards were placed in a binder]

Jessica: Yungoos, Emolga, Haxorus, Skitty, and Politoed!

[as the screen shows Haxorus]

Ash: Haxorus is Dragon type Pokémon native to the Unova Region!

Iris: That's right! They first start out as Axew! Then, they evolve into Fraxure and then into Haxorus!

Haxorus: HAXORUS!

Babs: Could those axe jaws be useful for chopping down trees?

Kara: Huh. Good idea!

Ash: That doesn't mean try it, Kara!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Kara: Aw, man!

Haxorus: [chuckles] HAXORUS!

[End]

And that's the end of this chapter! I hope you all enjoyed it! And there's more to come! So until then, see you all next time!
