"Weak." A slender teenager with gray hair stared at Korrina with eyes of disappointment, almost as if she was mocking her ability as a trainer. Her fighting stance was her signature battle pose, intimidating to even the roughest of ruffians. Her calm yet callous demeanor was fitting for a crime lord and less for a young teenager who was attending school. Her skintight black bodysuit showed much of her curves and abs that indicated her strict discipline and resolve as a trainer.

Korrina bit her lower lip, her arms reaching for her Riolu who was roughed up by her opponent's Clobbopus. She gently patted his head, while staring at her opponent in the eyes.

"That was a good battle." Her emotionless opponent narrowed her eyes, recalling her Cobbopus before crossing her arms pure in arrogance and spite.

"Good battle? It was a landslide victory, you're pathetic as a trainer and this Riolu chose you? Such wasted potential." The class was completely silent, feeling nothing by sympathy towards Korrina who has been decimated by her opponent. The roller skating enthusiast herself lowered her head, with her high spirits and confidence that she was normally associated with shattered. She stared at her wounded Riolu and felt utterly disappointed at herself for failing to utilize Riolu to his fullest potential.

Amidst the awkward tension in the gym, a middle aged man who wore a pair of blue long sleeve shirt and pants with orange patterns started to shook Brawly's shoulder who simply sat on the gymnasium bench with his arms crossed, observing the situation before him in dead silence, akin to the calm seas at night.

"Brawly, you're going to say anything? Bea being pretty harsh on that Korrina girl." Brawly glanced at his colleague, Crasher Wake who seemed concerned over his student's attitude towards her opponents. While she is an exceptionally gifted trainer who is well versed in training fighting type pokemon, her lack of sportsmanship and rude bluntness had made her very difficult to handle and even despised by her fellow classmates. Brawly sighed, wondering if every gifted student he had all turned to be egotistical and cocky trainers. Power does that to people, even at such a young age, it was horrifying in all honesty. As Brawly was about to stand up and give Bea and firm lecture, his sharp Braviary eyes caught wind of one of his student who seemed to had enough of Bea's attitude.

"No need to, seems like someone else is going to take my place." Brawly smiled to himself when he saw one of his students walked up to the battlefield and stood in front of Korrina, almost in a defensive manner. The body language of his student suggested that he was going to give a hell of lecture to Bea, to which made Brawly refrain from stepping in. After all, a firm lecture from your teacher is expected when you step out of line, but to receive one from your classmates? That leaves a bigger impact.

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?" Korrina widened her eyes when Ash started to shout at her opponent, standing up for her in the process. She attempted to cool the situation down, not wanting it to escalate to a full blown conflict between the two, but anyone could tell the trainer from Pallet was having none of it.

"Ash!" Ash flashed a reassuring smile to Korrina which admittedly did made her face flushed in red, a mixture of embarrassment and gratitude roll into one.

"Who are you-" Bea wasn't expecting this, she personally never knew Ash other than some kid with a Pikachu. So it surprised her when one of her classmates that she never interacted with, started to step in and raise his voice against her.

"You already won your battle, there's no need to humiliate your opponent and belittle them in front of the entire class. Her Riolu chose her because he deemed her worthy to be her trainer, that she showed compassion and kindness. I seen the way you battle, you're so obsessed with defeating your opponents that you have complete disregard to your own pokemon's safety." Clobbopus's tentacles are known to be easily tear off during the heat of the battle and while it does grow back quickly, the pain of losing your limbs one by one when fighting against a pokemon is still painful. Despite witnessing Bea battling a few times only, Ash had seen how rudely she treated her opponent, casting them off as nothing but a trivial nuisance to her. Normally, it won't have bother Ash as much, if it weren't for the fact Bea was humiliating Korrina in front of everyone in class on purpose. And that, was the straw that broke the Camerupt's back.

"My job as a pokemon trainer is to beat my opponents, who are you to give me a lecture over what I can or cannot do?" Witnessing the two trainers trading barbs and words, Misty attempted to walk to the battlefield to pull Ash out when Dawn stopped her, giving her a firm stare in process. For the blunette, she knew Ash was very passionate when it comes to the etiquette of pokemon battles, and it was perhaps his way of reminding everyone in class that winning isn't everything.

"Because I care! If you are so obsessed with strength and defeating your opponents for your own self gratification and pleasure, trash talking them soon after to reassure your own insecurities and weaknesses, then why not join Team Rocket or Team Galactic? They love power hungry trainers who care nothing but winning-" To see the normally calm and nonchalant Ash Ketchum shouting out his pent up rage was surprising and horrifying to say the least, perhaps the saying "beware the anger of a gentle man" was accurate, because Ash looked bloody angry.

"Don't you dare compare me to those sick criminals! I'm not like them-"

"Really, because all you seemed to care is beating others and lower their sense of self-worth and esteem just to make yourself feel better, just like a bully to which coincidentally, is what those criminals are! Where is your sense of kindness-"

"The only thing that matters in this world is power, principle and kindness can only be built on the foundation of strength." Ash was flabbergasted by that mentality, pondering how many people in this world really hold to that belief as an excuse for their own personal agenda.

"If everyone has that mentality, we might as well let the world be ruled by tyrants and dictators by the likes of you." Brawly grimaced, knowing that Ash hit the nail on the head when Bea started to lose her temper and composure. Perhaps Ash was being too harsh on the fighting type trainer, but Brawly also knew that some of his words hold some truths to it.

"You!-" Seeing that Bea was almost close to a complete break down, Brawly decided to intervene before the situation escalate into something far worse and ugly.

"Alright, alright calmed down. Korrina, you did great with your Riolu, that Force palm technique was really impressive! You really improved from the last session. So keep it up! Bea, this is just a pokemon battle between two classmates, not in a World Tournament where the eyes of the world are on you. So take it easy alright?" The offhand comment about the pressure Bea was under caught Ash's attention, he thought about what he instructor meant about that before it dawned on him that perhaps the pressure and upbringing by her parents might had shape her into who she is today. It made him feel guilty that he didn't consider Bea's environment growing up, but that did not justify her trashing her opponents after defeating them. As Ash looked around him, he could feel the eyes of the entire class piercing his skull with even the notorious smug Gary, glancing at him in a seemingly newfound light.

"Class is dismissed, see all of you next week and enjoy your weekend." Brawly clapped his hands, watching the students leaving with their pokeballs in their hands as they release them into their respective pokemon enclosures. He glanced back at Bea and saw her stomping off with her gym bag slung across her shoulder, with a deeply conflicted look on her face. It was undoubtable that Ash's words had a profound impact on her, he dearly hope that it did not effect her too much. Underneath the tough exterior, Brawly knew Bea was just a fragile soul who is always under the immense pressure to perform well.

"Ash, hey." With most of their classmates gone, Korrina walked towards Ash with a gentle and relaxed expression on her face, struggling to find the right words to speak to the boy who stood up for her in front of the entire class.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that but-" Ash spoke in a embarrassed manner, now only realizing that what he did was considered very embarrassing to both himself and Korrina. In the heat of the moment, he had completely forgo his fear of standing out in class and started to spout on whatever nonsense he was saying. Internally, Ash screamed at himself at what the hell was he doing, this was not the plan. All he wanted was to lay low in school with his head down, yet today he done the exact opposite and had drawn so much attention of himself.

"It's fine, thank you for standing up for me. I honestly don't know how to respond to that." Korrina spoke in a quiet tone, noticing that a few people were still in the gymnasium. She noted that they those people were always with Ash, which confirm her suspicions that they were his close friends.

"I'm just sick and tired of seeing people humiliating others just for the moment of glory, just to keep their fragile ego in check. A win is a win, there's no need to rub salt to the wound." Seeing his classmate trash talking to their opponents over how bad they were compared to them gave him flashback to the typical online multiplayer experience. But this is the real world, where such toxicity is not necessary and can really hurt others.

"I did lose pretty bad to her." Korrina spoke in a dejected and upset tone, which made Ash sigh and clasped her bare shoulder with his arms, ignoring the fact he was feeling Korrina's soft and supple shoulders and the fact he was touching a girl. To which he brain started to scream at him over what the hell was he doing.

"Hey, hey. Remember what you told me the first time we met? Pokemon trainers lose all the time, don't give into the despair and train harder with your Riolu. You will beat Bea next time!" Noticing her face flushed from the close proximity between them, Ash let go off Korrina and distanced himself from her, dearly hoping that he didn't creep her out or made her uncomfortable.

"Thanks Ash, I really appreciate it." Korrina spoke in a soft tone that was filled with genuine gratitude, combined with that soft expression on her face that made Ash feel more important than he actually is, he knew he did the right thing. The beeping noise from Korrina's watch broke the mood, causing her to sigh inwardly before smiling at Ash.

"I have to go now, I need to meet up with a friend of mine. Thank you Ash, I will let you pet Riolu next time!" Carrying her wounded starter in her arms, Korrina waved good bye to Ash as she ran towards the infirmary room, leaving Ash standing in the empty battlefield alone like an idiot.

"That, was intense." Ash jumped back slightly when Barry suddenly spoke, not realizing that Korrina and him weren't entirely alone in the gym. Misty and Dawn were even standing next to Barry, staring at Ash with a seemingly proud look on their face.

"Yeah." He attempted to make the matter look trivial, but he could tell what he did just now changed his friends' perception and opinion of him.

"Its cute though, standing up for Korrina like that." Dawn teased him, secretly wondering if her roommate had a crush on the Kalos native. She could see them dating though, given their personality seemed to click well with each other with Korrina's spunky energy meshed well with Ash casual and calm demeanor.

"I do consider her as a friend, so naturally I will defend her." To be fair, he wasn't sure if Korrina consider him a friend. They only interacted once when they bumped into each other in the park. But even if she doesn't consider him a friend, the little pep talk she gave him was more than enough to solidify their friendship in Ash's eyes.

"That's so sweet of you Ash." Misty spoke in an adoring manner, feeling proud of her friend who would stand up for others. The redhead herself wasn't sure if she had the courage to stand up for her close friends in the eyes of the public, so to see someone as introverted as Ash to throw away caution and pride so publicly was inspiring to her.

"By the way, May invited Misty and I out for a movie, do you want to join?" Dawn perked up, holding her phone up that showed the picture of movie. Ash rubbed the back of his neck when he noted Barry's stare of death that was filled with envy and jealousy, he ignored the blonde's eyes of desperation and shook his head, declining the invitation.

"Nah its, have fun though." Ash grimaced internally when he saw Dawn and Misty looked visibly disappointed, maybe he should have went with them? Was it really important to have him there?

"Alright then, see ya later." Watching his two roommates walking off in the distance, Ash turned to Barry with a deadpanned look, knowing what was coming next.

"Why? You get to hangout with 3 hot girls!"

"I'm not feeling it, besides May and Drew is too much for me." The couple were great at dragging Ash into situations and parties where he hated. As the two teenager converse about random and trivial topics and exited the school grounds, they walked towards the stone staircase of the local library near their school and sat down, waiting for Tracy to exit the library.

"So I was thinking that the three of us can hangout during the weekends, you know fun times with the boys." Ash smiled in amusement, thinking about the various wacky yet undeniably memorable situations they would be involve in. The last time the 3 of them hangout with each other was last year, in their local IKEA store fooling around with the different furniture and comfy beds. With the two friends continuing to discuss what they should do over the weekends, Ash felt someone blocking the sunlight that was shone on him. He glanced up and saw Bea standing in front of him with an unreadable expression on her face.

"Uh, hi." Ash spoke weakly, not sure what Bea wants to do with him. If she wanted to have a fight with him face to face, he would most definitely lose. Bea is well trained in martial arts with the physical body that will even make the most dedicated bodybuilders green with envy. So he hoped that she wasn't about to whoop his ass in the public, though he knew he had it coming given he just scolded and humiliated her in front the class.

"I would like to battle you." Bea spoke in an uncharacteristically humble and soft tone, whereas her usual tone would be nothing short of demanding and harsh.

"Look, I'm sorry for being harsh-" Ash spoke in a calm voice, hoping to calm the situation down. He wasn't afraid of losing, nor is he looking to win against Bea just to rub it in her face. He just want to forget what happened and avoid making enemies with anyone in general. Barry on the other hand was frightened at the towering sight of Bea, wondering if Ash would meet his demise today.

"I would like to battle you, please." Seeing Bea swallowing her pride and pleading him, Ash stared at her for the briefest of moments, before standing up with a calm and serious expression plastered on his face.

"Alright." Bea's lips curled up slightly, nodding to Ash in the process. The two trainers descended the stairs and head back towards the school, with Barry sitting there with a bewildered expression on his face.

"Can I come watch-"

"No." Ash shouted as he continued to walk next to Bea, not wanting Barry to intrude their battle, knowing full well that Bea wanted their battle to be in private.


"The battle between Bea Saitou and Ash Ketchum will now commence. Trainers, get ready." Brawly shouted as he stood next to the battlefield with two red flags in his hands. He was surprised when Bea and Ash approached him and asked his permission to battle each other, thinking that they were trying to settle their feud. But once he realized what was happening, he knew that the battle was intended to set their differences aside and get to know each other. After all, in the world of martial arts, there is a saying.

You don't truly know someone until you fight them.

"Begin!" Immediately, Ash ordered Pikachu to use Thundershock to wear Clobbopus down. He knew from his studies that Clobbopus has Limber, so he can't rely on paralysis to win his battle. So hit and run tactics and slowly wearing the fighting type down overtime is the only way to secure his victory.

"Detect." The get-out-of-jail card for all fighting types, Clobbopus managed to dodge the attack with ease, glaring at Pikachu who seemed unfazed by his act of intimidation. Ash pondered his options, he would need bait Bea to use Detect consecutively and strike when the move fails, but that would be relying on luck, something which Ash knew he didn't really have.

"Leer." With a glint in his eyes, Clobbopus leered towards Pikachu, substantially lowering his guard and resistance to physical attacks. Ash smiled wryly, now his Pikachu really can't afford to get caught by the fighting type.

"Double Team." Pikachu started to make ninjutsu hand signs, taught by his weeb of a trainer himself. Within seconds, fake copies of Pikachu started to appear around the battlefield, staring at Clobbopus who was surprised and maybe confused over the sheer number of Pikachus on the battlefield. Such confusion on Clobbopus gave Ash an idea, as he was reminded that Clobbopus aren't the most intelligent species of pokemon and heavily rely on their trainer to give instructions.

"Rock smash on the ground." Slamming its strong tentacles onto the ground, the shockwave from the Rock smash send echoes towards the battlefield, causing Pikachu's clones to disappear with each shockwave hitting them.

"Quick attack around the field." With a dozen of Pikachu running in different directions, the yellow blurs around the battlefield started to confuse Bea and Ash himself who lost track of where's his starter is. Clobbopus looked around his surroundings, his mind unable to comprehend and track the movement of all the Pikachu.

"Waterfall around the field." Ash widened his eyes, surprised when Clobbopus started to charge around the battlefield engulf with the power of a crashing waterfall. It knocked off all the fake Pikachu out of existence, and finally hitting the real copy of Pikachu that sent him flying. With his defenses already lowered, Ash knew his injured Pikachu can't afford another direct hit.

"Pikachu, Thundershock across the field." Pikachu placed his paws on his cheeks, releasing large bolts of electricity across the field, discharging high voltage of electricity across the field filled with puddles of water. Bea cursed, realizing she made a mistake that in her attempt to clear out all of the Pikachu clones, she has turned the battlefield into Ash's advantage.

"Clobbopus high power Rock smash on the ground." With the force akin to a titan, Clobbopus slammed the ground in front of him, clearing and dispersing all the water around him. This served the purpose of preventing Pikachu's attacks from conducting the puddles of water in the battlefield, which effectively allowed Clobbopus to close in on him again.

"Quick attack into him." Bea was surprised by Ash's commands, wondering why would he fight her head on in close quarters. She watched as the electric rodent charged towards her partner, and waited for the right moment to strike. As she about to command a Bind attack to entangle Pikachu, Ash quickly changed his command given that his starter was ramping his speed bit by bit.

"Electro ball." It was too late, Bea couldn't order a Detect as Ash baited her into thinking he would use a close quarter attack. With the velocity of the Electro ball boosted by his enhanced speed, the giant ball of electro energy hit Clobbopus in point blank range, knocking him out directly.

"Bea's pokemon is unable to battle, Ash wins." Brawly shouted, impressed that Ash managed to fake his attacks to fool Bea. He watched at Bea ran towards her Clobbopus and held the octopus pokemon in her arms, praising it for its efforts before recalling it back to his pokeball.

"Good job Pikachu." Rubbing his worn out starter's head, Ash turned to Bea and saw the same unreadable expression on her face when she first ask him for a battle. He approached her cautiously, hoping that she took the loss well.

"Bea?" Seeing her in pure silence made Ash panic, he quickly formed sentences in his mind, finding the right words to cheer her up.

"You know, I almost had a heart attack when your Clobbopus used Waterfall, its something that I didn't expect hehe." Still nothing, she just stared at the ground before her, not even looking at him. Ash sighed, running a hand through his hair as his starter started to nuzzle his cheeks in attempt to calm him down.

"Hey, are you alright?" Deciding to be forefront and direct, Ash stood closer to her, hoping that she finally replies him. Even if its an outburst or a slap, he just wanted Bea to reply to him. Brawly who noted the tension and the sudden eye contact from Bea, made him realized that she wanted to talk to Ash in private to which he immediately stood up.

"I'm going to washroom." Brawly spoke somewhat awkwardly, exiting the gym as Ash stared at him in a confused manner, only to have his instructor giving him hand signals, asking him to talk to her to which Ash gave his instructor a firm affirmative nod. Once they were alone, Bea walked towards the bench and sat down on it, seemingly ushering Ash to do the same, which he did.

"I'm so weak." Surprised by her confession, Ash let Pikachu curled onto his lap as he rubbed his starter's back softly, feeling its soft fur on his fingertips.

"What are you talking about? You did great! I lucked out with Double team." It was true, Pikachu recently learnt Double Team after playing hide and seek with the other pokemon in the ranch. So it came to Ash's surprise when he saw 8 Pikachu's waving at him in an adoring manner, only for Nurse Joy to chuckle at his confusion.

"Every time I lose, I felt the need to train more. To push my pokemon beyond their limits, even if it means their body can't handle it. You were right when you said I disregard my pokemon's feelings-"

"What I said was too harsh, I didn't mean to compare you to the horrible criminals. You love your pokemon and I know that, more importantly your pokemon knows that too. I was out of line and I said somethings that aren't meant to be said. I'm sorry." Bea glanced at Ash and could tell he was sincere about his apology, she smiled before staring at the glass sliding door that led to the Pokemon ranch.

"No, you're right. I only care about winning, all I care about is being the best, to the point where I would disregard the feelings of others. Sooner or later, my obsession of winning would make me a horrible person, not that I'm not already." Past images of her talking smack to trainers losing to her, mocking them and lowering their self-worth popped up into her mind. Now, experiencing what its like on the receiving end, she realize that her actions were harsh and evil to some extent.

"You're a kind person Bea, don't think like that." Bea ignored Ash's words, knowing that he said that just to make her feel better.

"Ever since I was a young girl, my parent wanted me is to be the best. My dad always expected me to conquer others, that emotions are a hindrance to our goals and that failure is not an option. I guess that's why I'm the way I am." Ash sighed, it was as he expected. Bea's parents are the reason why she's so obsessed with winning, to make her think that winning is the only thing that matters in this world.

"Your father's inability to become the best has made him force his own ambitions onto you, placing the pressure and responsibility to you." Bea turned to Ash with a bewildered expression, not believing that Ash bluntly saying what she secretly thought about her father all these years. She made no attempt to correct him or defend her father, feeling shocked and maybe flattered that Ash understood her despite their rough and short time they knew each other.

"Listen, I know its hard to change that mentality, but losing is part of the learning process, to know your mistakes and never repeating them. You are your own person, your father does not rule your life. Open up a little Bea, winning is not everything." Ash spoke in a soft and gentle tone, yet there was a hint of strength and wisdom behind it. All of the characteristics, which was the core philosophy of martial arts.

"You're right, there's life other than winning pokemon battles right?" Ash nodded, he used to be like Bea as well, thinking that becoming a trainer and defeating his opponents is the only thing that matters. Until he discovered anime and doujins, then it all went downhill there.

"Of course! Go discover what the world has to offer, don't pidgeyhole yourself." Explore what the world have to see and step out of your comfort zone, something Ash says to others yet never applied that rule to himself, quite hypocritical if he had to be honest.

"Thank you for showing me humility Ash. When you said that I lower the self-esteem of others to hide my own insecurities, I felt that you know? I'm so scared of losing that I-" Ash stopped her, knowing that she had trouble opening up her fears and insecurities to others. She barely knew him and he didn't want to pressure her to make her think she needs to..


Misty and Dawn were walking together to deposit their Pokemon to the infirmary. Misty and Dawn soon saw a Team Rocket helicopter coming down which was black in color and had a giant 'R' painted on the walls.

"Psyduck, I choose you." Misty said and released Psyduck.

"Buneary, I choose you." Dawn said and released Buneary.

The Team Rocket helicopter flew and landed next to Misty and Dawn. A man soon got out of the helicopter with his grunts following him in getting down.

"Golduck, use Light Screen." a grunt said and used Light Screen which blocked others from looking at the battle and made the area look normal.

"HELP!" Dawn shouted and the grunt said "Light Screen blocks sound from going outside."

"Psyduck, use Psychic." Misty said.

"Buneary, use Double Kick." Dawn said.

Psyduck used a powerful Psychic in which Psyduck's eyes glow blue and it send out an invisible blast of power that hits Golduck. Golduck lost some health due to the atttack. Buneary used Double Kick in which Buneary jumps into the air and comes down, feet first, kicking Golduck with both feet.

"Houndoom, use Flamethrower on Buneary." Archer said.

Houndoom then used Flamwthrower on Buneary in which Houndoom opens its mouth and a red-orange ball appears. A red-orange stream of fire is then released from the ball on Buneary. Buneary then yelped in pain from the hot flames.

"Buneary!" Dawn shouted.

"Dawn, we can defeat them. You can ask Buneary to use Double Kick while I atttack. Psyduck, use Water Gun." Misty said.

"Buneary, use Double Kick." Dawn said.

Psyduck then used Water Gun in which Psyduck releases a spiral of water from its bill at Houndoom. Buneary used Double Kick in which Buneary jumps into the air and comes down, feet first, kicking Houndoom with both feet. Houndoom then continued to lose health while the attack was being used.

"You both fight well! Houndoom, return. Golbat, use Air Slash." Archer said and returned Houndoom and released Golbat.

Golbat then used Air Slash in which Golbat's wings glow light blue and it flaps them, releasing multiple light blue glowing saw disc-like energy blades from its wings at Psyduck and Buneary. Psyduck and Buneary yelped in pain as the attacks struck them.

"Psyduck, use Psychic." Misty said.

Psyduck used a powerful Psychic in which Psyduck's eyes glow blue and it send out an invisible blast of power that hits Golbat. Golbat lost some health but continued to use Air Slash and then Psyduck and Buneary yelped in pain at the attacks and then fainted.

"Psyduck, return." Misty said.

"Buneary, return." Dawn said.

"Golbat, return." Archer said.

"We are going to take you both." Archer said and then some grunts went and then took Misty and Dawn and then took them in the helicopter. The helicopter then flew from the area.

"Ash!" Dawn whispered.

"So you want Ash also? We would get him." Archer said.

Archer took his phone and looked in the school website and spotted Ash's details. Archer looked from his helicopter and then spotted Ash near Bea. The helicopter soon landed near Ash and Bea. Archer took Misty and Dawn then walked out of the helicopter while Golduck used Light Screen to camouflage the helicopter.

"So you are Ash! Come with us or we would take her also." Archer said.

"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt." Ash said and released Pikachu.

Pikachu used Thunderbolt in which Pikachu releases a powerful bolt of yellow electricity from its body at Golduck which yelped in pain and was losing health rapidly.

"You make this difficult! Houndoom, use Flamethrower." Archer said and released Houndoom.

Houndoom then used Flamethrower on Pikachu in which Houndoom opens its mouth and a red-orange ball appears. A red-orange stream of fire is then released from the ball on Pikachu. Pikachu then yelped in pain and then fainted.

"Pikachu, return." Ash said.

"Houndoom, return." Archer said.

Ash ran to Misty and Dawn and then some grunts took Ash to the helicopter. Archer then saw Brawly approaching and then went with Misty and Dawn into the helicopter and put Misty and Dawn with Ash. The grunts then tied Ash, Misty, and Dawn's feets and hands. The guards then used a handkercheif on Ash, Misty, Dawn and made them unconscious. The helicopter soon flew from the area.

"Team Rocket took Ash, Misty, and Dawn!" Bea said crying.

"Oh my! I know that human trafficking could take place but this news is too much. I will call Ash's mother to report this." Brawly said sadly. Brawly then called Delia.

"Your son was kidnapped along with Misty and Dawn. I am sorry to say but it would be long before you see your son." Brawly said.

"Oh my!" Delia said crying that her son and his partners were kidnapped.


Ash, Misty, and Dawn were in a cell that was some 2x1x0.5m size. Ash moved himself to be on top of Misty and Dawn who lied next to each other.

"I should not have said your name! Sorry, Ash!" Dawn was sad that she was the cause of Ash being taken.

"You were just scared. I am with you both! I will remain with you both! I am not angry but even in these times, we are together!" Ash said while giving a small smile being with both of his partners. Ash then kissed Misty on her cheek and then Dawn on her cheek. Ash then hugged Misty and Dawn who hugged him back.

The prison cell opened and Ash, Misty, Dawn came out.

"You follow me!" a Team Rocket member who was male said.

Ash, Misty, Dawn followed the Team Rocket member and then they walked through the corridor which was dark. They then reached a junction with a right and left turn and then the Team Rocket member turned right and Ash, Misty, Dawn followed him. The turn led to the entrance to a hall with Giovanni sitting on the chair. Ash, Misty, Dawn then followed the Team Rocket member and entered the room. The Team Rocket member entered the room and locked the room.

"I will cut to the point and say this. You boy, listen to us or we would take both the girls from you and trouble them." Giovanni said coolly.

"I will listen!" Ash was sad to say this but he wanted to protect Misty and Dawn from more trouble despite the trouble they were in.

"Good, we would start the training program for you three. You three would encounter a world that will be different but will be amazing. Listen to my orders and live. Now, go to the dressing room to the right and change clothes." Giovanni said.

Ash, Misty, Dawn then turned right and walked to the room and then soon reached the room. Ash, Misty, Dawn measurments were taken and soon clothes were made for Ash, Misty, Dawn. From school to Team Rocket, Ash was sad that his life which felt nice after finding a room and then becoming Misty and Dawn's partner became so bad with him losing contact with his mother. All he could do now is comfort his partners, Misty and Dawn. The three were in such a bad condition but have no choice but to continue.

Ash, Misty, Dawn took their Team Rocket uniforms and went to the changing room, opened the door and entered and then closed the door and changed their dress. Ash, Misty, Dawn then opened the door and then left the room and then closed the door. Ash, Misty, Dawn then walked to the exit and left the room and then walked to Giovanni.

"You three look good. Now, you three would go to your accomodation." Giovanni said.

Ash, Misty, Dawn then followed the Team Rocket member who opened the door and walked and Ash, Misty, Dawn followed him and walked and then soon left the hall. Ash, Misty, Dawn followed the Team Rocket member who soon turned left and climed the stairs and Ash, Misty, Dawn climbed the stairs following the Team Rocket member. The Team Rocket member climbed through some 7 floors and then turned right and walked and Ash, Misty, Dawn followed the Team Rocket member and walked.

The Team Rocket member went and opened a door and Ash, Misty, Dawn walked inside the room which had a comfortable bed, a television, a computer. Dawn took her phone and played the Pokemon Crossing game and Misty took her phone and watched some YouTube videos. Ash went to the computer and then downloaded Ruins of Geneva.

"This is not home but we three are living like as though we are in home." Misty was surprised that they were all enjoying despite the trouble they were in.

"Listen to Giovanni and we three can live." Ash was sad to say this but this was their life.

Ash soon loaded Discord and messaged Barry and Tracy "I am alive. We three can play."


Barry was sulking and talking with Tracy over Discord. While Barry was jealous, Barry was Ash's friend and his well wisher. Barry soon got the message "I am alive. We three can play."

"What happened to Misty and Dawn?" Barry typed and posted.

"They are both alive and with me." Ash typed and posted.

"Wow! You have two women! I am sure you are enjoying!" Barry typed and posted this despite Barry's knowledge that Team Rocket kidnapped Ash, Misty, Dawn.

"Yes, I am enjoying." Ash typed and posted the sarcastical comment to humor Barry.

"I would let the school know that you joined Team Rocket." Barry typed and posted sarcastically.

"Just let my mother know that I am in Team Rocket along with Misty and Dawn." Ash typed and posted.

"Fine! Send your mother's number." Barry said. Ash then posted his mother's number.

Barry then called Ash's mother.

"Mrs. Ketchum, Ash, Misty, Dawn are alive and they are now in Team Rocket." Barry said.

"Oh my, they are alive! Tell them that my best wishes are for them." Delia said.

"Yes, I will tell." Barry said and cut the call.
