Hi, everyone! I'm back with another chapter of DC Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! Have you ever fallen in love with someone, but you just don't know what to do? Well, sometimes you can count on a friend to help you out in any way they can! And the episode's ending was very crummy, but UltraKaiFan and I have made it better than ever! And now, all aboard for a new adventure!

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

There was chaos in Metropolis, as a strange, colorful, and giant supervillain was reeking havoc, as the Super Hero Girls, the InvinciBros, and Aura Guardian were on the case.

Supervillain: [roars]

Wonder Woman: Everyone, pair up.

And it was Batgirl and the Flash, both Green Lanterns, Supergirl and Aqualad, Zatanna and Green Arrow, much to their disgust, and that just left much to the two heroes' disappointment.

Hawkman: [groans]

Bumblebee: [gulps]

Aura Guardian: Ok? [to Wonder Woman] That just leaves you and me, Wonder Woman! You ready for this?

Wonder Woman: As ready as I'll ever be!

And they went in on the attack to fight the giant villain! Later on, a bank was being robbed.

[alarm blaring]

Wonder Woman: Again. Pair up.

And the results were the same as last time, which meant that Bumblebee had to be paired with Hawkman again.

Hawkman: [groans]

Bumblebee: [teeth chattering] No.

And now, there was a building on fire!

[siren wailing]

Wonder Woman: Now… [as Bumblebee tugs on her arm] Oh.

Bumblebee: What if we try mixing up the teams a little?

Wonder Woman: An excellent suggestion. Batgirl, you're with Green Arrow. Green Lantern, Flash. Supergirl, boy Green Lantern. Aqualad, you're with me, Aura Guardian, Zatanna.

Zatanna: EEEEE! [pulls Ash to her and cuddles him] [as she nuzzles cheeks with him] Finally!

Aura Guardian: [blushes] Yeah!

Wonder Woman: That leaves… Bumblebee and Hawkman.

Bumblebee: [groans]

[all screaming]

Bumblebee: Rwar…

Hawkman just flew away from her unamused.

Bumblebee: No.

Aura Guardian: [to Zatanna] Ready, my beautiful magician?

Zatanna: Ready, my handsome man!

Aura Guardian: Greninja, Water Shuriken!

Zatanna: Haunter, Ice Punch!

Wonder Woman: Feebas, Ice Beam!

Supergirl: Chewtle, Water Gun!

Batgirl: Empoleon, Hydro Cannon!

Aqualad: Gyarados, Hydro Pump!

Greninja: [Water Shuriken move] GRE...NINJA!

Haunter: [Ice Punch move] HAUN...TER!

Feebas: [Ice Beam move] FEE...BAS!

Chewtle: [Water Gun move] CHEW...TLE!

Empoleon: [Hydro Cannon move] EM...POLEON!

Gyarados: [Hydro Pump move] GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The next day, Ash and his friends were walking to Metropolis High. Zee was currently cuddling Pikachu and treating it like a baby.

Zee: [coos] Who's a good wittle mousey? You are! Yes you are!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKA!

Zee: You're just too cute!

Serena/Usagi: I think you might be spoiling Pikachu too much, Zee!

Zee: No way! Pikachu's my favorite Pokémon ever! Apart from my own Pokémon, of course!

Pikachu: [gasps] [happy] PIKA PI?

Zee: Of course I do, Pikachu!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKA!

Zee continued to cuddle Pikachu, then she noticed Ash thinking.

Zee: You seem deep in thought, Ashykins! Everything okay?

Ash: Yeah! It's just with all the bad guys we've been fighting and the lives we've been saving, it's pretty much become a hobby for us!

Zee: Well, you're not wrong about that! But that's what we do!

Ash: I know! But I've got a strange feeling going on in my bones!

Zee: Whaddya mean?

Ash: Well, do you ever have the feeling you're being watched?

May: Now that you think about it, I think I have that feeling too!

Meanwhile, at Coldheart Castle...

Professor Coldheart: [watching from his computer] [chuckles evilly] "Being watched" he says!

Frostbite: [laughs] And he doesn't know that we're watching him!

Professor Coldheart: I know that, you bumbling fool! Pretty soon, I will be ruling the city with an army of Green Meanies! Jin! Yin! Begin the preparations for the ultimate plan!

Jin and Yin: [salute] Aye aye!

Eggman: Hold it, Professor! There's still one more requirement! A pure form of tragedy!

Professor Coldheart: Well, what pure form tragedy is there?!

Boomtower: In time, Professor! I know there's despair lurking around somewhere in a dark corner! Just you wait! [chuckles evilly]

Back with the heroes...

Ash: You know! I could swear we're being watched!

Kara: Relax, li'l bro! Whatever's watching us, I'll give it a one way ticket to the moon!

Zee: [looking into her compact mirror and applying lipstick] Or it could be just your imagination, dear!

Ash: Yeah! You're probably right!

Then...

Croagunk: CROAGUNK.

Everyone looked and saw...

Ash: Hey, it's Croagunk!

Zee: [pulls out her Rotom Phone] So, that's Croagunk!

Zee's Rotom Phone: Croagunk, the Toxic Mouth Pokémon. A Poison and Fighting type. Croagunk inflates the poison sacs in its cheeks to make croaking sounds. If an opponent flees, it attacks with poison.

Croagunk: [croaking while inflating its poison sacs] CROA! CROA! CROA!

Karen: [gulps]

Ash: Don't worry, Karen! I know that Croagunk!

May: So do I!

Dawn: And if Croagunk's here, then that means...

? (Brock): Croagunk!

Ash, May, and Dawn: [gasps]

Pikachu: PIKA!

Piplup: PIPLUP!

Croagunk: CROA?

Brock: There you are!

Ash: Brock!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Dawn: It's him!

May: Brock!

Max: Over here!

Brock: Huh?

Ash: [running over to him] Hey! Brock!

But Brock saw Lois Lane and then...

Brock: [lovestruck] WOW!

Ash: [spinning] [shocked] GUH!

Lois Lane: [as Brock takes her hand] Huh?!

Brock: Oh, fair maiden! A lovely lady with such beautiful eyes can just show that you're as lovely as flowers grow beyond everything!

Then...

Croagunk: [Poison Jab move] CROAGUNK!

Smeargle: [Sketch move] [Poison Jab move] SMEARGLE!

Brock: Whoa! [poisoned] But not beyond a Double Poison Jab! [falls down]

[thuds]

Croagunk: CROA OA OA OA.

Smeargle: [hugs Lois' leg] SMEAR!

Lois Lane: Well, that happened! C'mon, Smeargle! We've got work to do at the Daily Planetoid!

Smeargle: SMEARGLE!

Lois Lane: You've got a weird guy friend, Ashy Dashy! [kisses his cheek] See ya later!

Ash: Later, Lois! [to Brock] Brock! Good to see you!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Brock: Likewise, Ash!

Dawn: Boy, Brock! You haven't changed a bit!

Brock: Dawn! You're here too?!

Dawn: Yep!

Misty: And so are me, May and Max!

Brock: Wow! Good to see you all!

Dawn: You too! And you haven't changed a bit!

Max: [sweat drops] Clearly!

Lita: Ash, are you going to introduce us?

Ash: Oh, right! Everyone, meet Brock! We traveled together in the past!

Brock: Nice to meet you all! I'm Brock! A Pokémon Breeder and a Pokémon Doctor in training! And I'm also the proud Gym Leader of Pewter City!

Babs: [eyes sparkle] You're a gym leader too?! So cool! My name's Barbara Gordon! But you can call me Babs!

Jessica: I'm Jessica Cruz!

Kara: Kara Danvers!

Karen: [shyly] K-Karen Beecher!

Zee: [being formal] [curtsy] Zee Zatara!

Sylveon: [bowing] VEON!

Diana: And I am Diana Prince!

Serena (Pokémon): I'm Serena!

Serena/Usagi: I'm Serena as well! Serena Tsukino!

Raye: My name's Raye!

Mina: I'm Mina!

Lita: Lita!

Amy: My name's Amy! Hi there!

Sam: And you remember us! I'm Sam! And this is Clover and Alex!

Clemont: I'm Clemont!

Bonnie: And I'm Bonnie! And this is Dedenne!

Dedenne: [greeting] DENNE!

N: My name's N!

Goh: My name's Goh! This is Cinderace and Grookey!

Cinderace: [greeting] CINDERACE!

Grookey: [greeting] GROOKEY!

Brock: Nice to meet you all! [notices Cilan] Hey, Cilan! Good to see you!

Cilan: Likewise!

Ash: Hold on! You two know each other?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Cilan: Indeed! We met while I was exploring Kanto!

Brock: [to Casey and Ritchie] Casey! Ritchie!

Casey: Hiya, Brock!

Ritchie: Good to see you!

Brock: You too!

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

Then...

Brock: [grabbing his heart] UGH! It happened again! Cupid has struck me right in the heart!

Diana: My goodness! Are you alright?!

Brock: [takes her hand] In all my years, never have I seen a girl so beautiful who's eyes shine like the deep blue sea. And long black hair that flows within the wind.

Croagunk: [Poison Jab move] CROAGUNK!

Brock: Whoa! [poisoned] I guess my wind's died down! [collapses] UGH!

Jessica: [gasps] Is he alright?!

Ash: Don't worry! This happens a lot!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Clover: I still think that Croagunk is creepy!

Babs: [gasps offended] Clover! Be nice! I think Croagunk's cute!

Clover: You think it's cute?!

Babs: Of course!

Clover: Whatever you say!

Brock: [to Zee] You must be Zee! Ash's Metropolis girlfriend!

Zee: Indeed l am! It's nice to meet you in person!

Brock: You too!

Bonnie: I'm surprised you didn't fall head over heels for her! She's so pretty!

Brock: True as that may be! But that wouldn't be right for me to do that to Ash!

Croagunk: CROA!

Zee: [hugs Ash and nuzzles cheeks with him] And I couldn't be happier than to be with my Ashykins!

Brock: He's learned a lot from me through experience!

Ash: I guess you could say that!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Sylveon: [greeting Brock] SYLVEON!

Brock: Wow! A Sylveon! And one that's very well dressed!

Sylveon: SYLVE!

Zee: Indeed! I made it for especially for my Sylveon!

Sylveon: [being fabulous] VEON!

Zee: And it sometimes acts like me too!

Sylveon: [extends a feeler out to Brock] VE!

Brock: [shakes its feeler] Nice to meet you, Sylveon!

Sylveon: [smiles] SYLVE!

Ash: So, Brock! I'm guessing Arceus sent you here?

Brock: Yep! You guessed it!

Ash: Awesome! Since you're here, you'll have to attend Metropolis High!

Brock: Sure! I don't see a problem with that!

Kara: Hey, Brock! I was wondering if I could have a battle with you sometime? I wanna see just how strong the Pewter City Gym Leader is!

Brock: Sure! But just so you'll know, I won't go easy on you!

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

Incineroar: CINEROAR!

Brock: Wow! An Incineroar!

Kara: Yep! And it happens to be mine!

Incineroar: [breathes fire] ROAR!

Kara: Yeah!

Ash: Anyways, we'd better head in!

Zee: [as she and Serena (Pokémon) hug his arms] Agreed!

Serena (Pokémon): Yeah! Let's go!

Later on, Ash was in art class, along with Dawn, Brock, and Carter Hall.

Ash: [shows Carter a picture of Pikachu] How does it look?

Carter: [gives a thumbs up]

Ash: [chuckles]

That's when Karen came in late.

Karen: Eep! Oh! [gasps]

She then knocked over her canvas, creating a domino effect for the other students' canvases.

Students: [groaning] [glaring at Karen]

Croagunk: [glaring at the students] GUNK...

That made the others stop glaring!

Ash: Hey, Karen! What's the big idea?

Pikachu: PIKA!

Karen: Sorry, Ash! I was running late!

Ash: Oh, never mind, Karen! Accidents happen! I can always start over! But I think I can do better than that! I think I'll do a portrait of my beautiful magician holding Pikachu!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKA!

Dawn: I think you're a good artist, no matter what you paint! [kisses his cheek]

Ash: [blushes] [giggles] Thanks, Dawn! You too!

That's when Karen noticed what Carter was drawing.

Karen: Aw! Who's that?

Ribombee: RIBOM?

Carter: A bowl of fruit.

Karen: Nah-uh. I've seen a guy draw a girl like that before. In the fifth scene of Just Before Dusk, Aiden sketched Caitlyn because emojis weren't capturing how he felt and-

Carter: It's a bowl of fruit.

Karen: [snatches canvas] Let me see!

Dawn: Karen Beecher! Whaddya think you're doing?!

Turns out, Carter was drawing a picture of a girl.

Ash: Wow, Carter! Who is that?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Karen: Aw! Carter. Are you in love? OMG, you're in love, aren't you! Admit it! I can smell romance a mile away, Carter! Admit it! You're in love!

Carter: [sighs] Yes.

Karen: [squeals]

Ribombee: [curious] BOM BOM?

Karen: You gotta tell me who she is!

Brock: I'd like to know too!

Carter: [blushes] Her name is Princess Chay-Ara. And I was her true love… Prince Khufu.

Karen: [gasps] You're a prince?

Ash and Dawn: No way!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Piplup: PIPLUP?!

Carter: Was a prince. Also been a knight. And a gunslinger. A spell was put on us. It's our destiny to be reincarnated over and over and over.

Later on, they were at the museum, viewing the Ancient Egypt exhibit.

Carter: Always finding each other. And always… [clears throat] Falling into a love that surpasses death.

Karen: [sighs] Oh. That's the most romantic thing I've ever heard.

Brock: [in tears] Wow!

Dawn: How beautiful!
Carter: [grunts] Maybe. Somehow, I've had this creepy feeling that it always ends badly.

Ash: Hmm... You know, Carter? I think I might have a theory!

Carter: And what would that be?

Ash: Do you think maybe it has something to do with dark magic?

Carter: Dark magic?

Ash: Yeah! Curses can be related to dark magic!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Carter: I don't know! Maybe!

Ash: [sighs] I just wish there was something I could do.

Carter: [pats his back] That's okay, man!

Dawn: But what about Zee? She's good with magic! Surely she could help with your problem!

Ash: That's a good idea, Dawn! But she doesn't know the kind of spell it is!

Dawn: Oh! Bummer!

Karen: [jumping up and down] So where is she now? Have you found her in this life yet? What's your wedding theme gonna be? Can I be a bridesmaid? I need you two to be together, like, right now!

Ash: Easy there, Karen!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Carter: He's right, you know. It could take a lifetime to find her. But believe me, I'll search this world to its end until- Oh, geez! There she is!

Brock: Where?!

There she was, a beautiful girl with flowing red hair, sage green eyes, and she was wearing ankh earrings, as Carter blushed at the sight of her and waved. However, she took no notice to him.

Dawn: I think we may have found Carter's girl!

Piplup: PIPLUP!

Karen: Wait, what?

Carter: Hmm. Reincarnation. You don't always remember past lives. I didn't remember four lives ago. She was so mad.

Unfezant: [lands on her shoulder] UNFEZANT!

Ash: Looks like she has an Unfezant!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Carter: Unfezant? [pulls out his Rotom Phone]

Carter's Rotom Phone: Unfezant, the Proud Pokémon. A Normal and Flying type. This Pokémon is intelligent and intensely proud. People will sit up and take notice if you become the Trainer of one.

Carter: Interesting!

Braviary: [blushing] BRAVIARY!

Ash: Uh oh! Braviary's fallen in love too!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Braviary: [blushing] [hiding its face with its wing] BRA!

Ash: Hmm. You know what, I got an idea! Why don't Pikachu and I be your wing men! I'm gonna go talk to her! [starts to head off with Pikachu] Try and get her to start to like you a bit!

Carter: Uh, are you sure, Ash?

Karen: Yeah! Are you sure about that? I mean, she is Carter's soulmate!

Ash: Have I ever steered you guys wrong?

Dawn: [sweat drops] I can make a list, sweetheart!

Ash: Never mind! I'm gonna go talk to her!

Carter: [sighs] Oh boy.

Ash: [walks over to Shiera] Excuse me! Hi there!

Shiera: Oh! Hello there! Who are you?

Ash: My name's Ash, and this is my partner, Pikachu!

Pikachu: [greeting] PIKACHU!

Shiera: Pleased to meet you! My name is Shiera! And this is Unfezant!

Unfezant: [bowing] FEZANT!

She then turned to Pikachu with a cute smile.

Shiera: [pets Pikachu] You sure a cute little one!

Pikachu: [coos] CHA!

Ash: So, Shiera! I came to ask you, [points to Carter Hall] do you recognize my friend, Carter Hall?

Shiera: I don't think so! Why?

Ash: Well, he wanted me to tell you that you're very beautiful and so nice!

That made her tint a blush from that!

Shiera: Oh! Well, tell him I said thank you for those kind words!

Ash: Of course! Also, his Braviary likes your Unfezant!

That made Unfezant tint a blush from that!

Unfezant: UNFEZ!

Shiera: [giggles]

Ash: Anyways, I'd better go! Nice meeting you, Shiera!

Shiera: You as well, Ash! [pets Pikachu] And you too, Pikachu!

Pikachu: [smiles] PIKA PIKA!

Ash then walked back to the others. The others were left speechless from what they saw!

Ash: Did I go too far?

Pikachu: PIKA?

Karen: That...Was...Incredible!

Ash: Huh? It was?

Carter: Sure was! You should be my wingman more often!

Brock: I agree!

Ash: Thanks, you guys!

Dawn: Although, she didn't really seem that focused on Carter!

Piplup: [agreeing] PIPLUP!

Carter: [sighs] She has a point, you guys.

Dawn was right, as Shiera was talking with other people, not noticing Carter.

Carter: See? It always ends badly.

Brock: [wraps an arm around him] [in tears] Don't you say that man! You just probably lack experience! But luckily, I'm here to help you! I'll be your love expert!

Karen: Yeah! [pulls out her phone] Not this time.

[keypad clacking]

Carter: [breathes deeply]

Carter then noticed Croagunk looking at its reflection on the sarcophagus' display case.

Croagunk: [croaking] CROA. GUNK. CROA. GUNK.

Carter: Um...

Brock: [sweat drops] I honestly have no idea myself! That's how Croagunk is!

Karen: Her name is Shiera Sanders. [thuds] Here are 17 of her social media accounts.

Carter: Wow. Pretty creepy, Karen.

Karen: Ooh, and she's in a band! How cool! She works at Big Boiger, off on Wednesdays. Ooh, and she loves the Metropolis Generals.

Carter: [groans] You're gonna make me do things I don't want to do, aren't you?

Ash: Carter, I know it may sound weird! But this may be your only chance to reunite with Shiera! After all, I am your wingman!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Carter sighed at this, then he grew a serious look on his face.

Carter: You're right!

Ash: That's the spirit!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!

Braviary: [determined] BRA!

The next day, they were at the drive thru of the restaurant known as Big Boiger, with Carter at the wheel.

Carter: I don't want to do this.

Brock: You can do it, man!

Karen: Come on, we're next.

[brakes squeal]

Shiera: [over speaker] Welcome to Big Boiger, how mayo I help you?

[tires screeching]

Ash: Hey, Carter! What's the big idea?! I was in the mood for food!

Dawn: Yeah!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Piplup: PIPLUP!

Later at night, they seemed to be going to Shiera's house.

Karen: Okay, forget what happened earlier. This is the real romance.

Carter: If "real romance" means going to jail for trespassing.

Dawn: JAIL?!

Karen: Relax, Dawn! No one's going to jail. [hands Carter a rock] Here. Get her attention with this. I'll tell you exactly what to say. Wooing a girl under her bedroom window never fails. Trust me, it's in every good fan-fiction ever.

Carter: [groans] [inhales deeply] [grunts]

[glass shattering]

Ash: GAH!

Shiera: Who's out there?! You're gonna pay for that window, creep!

Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Carter made a run for it! But Karen was still determined to reunite Carter with Shiera!

Ribombee: [telling Karen they're not giving up] RIBOMBOM!

Karen: Got that right!

However, no matter how many times they tried, Carter was way too nervous. One night, they were at one of her band's shows.

Carter: I don't know. This is a bridge too far.

Karen: It's from Just Before Dusk 4. Now, get in there!

Brock: And strut your stuff!

When they shoved him in, Shiera's dressing room had flowers and pictures of him and Shiera as a married couple, along with Braviary and Unfezant!

Braviary: BRAV?!

Carter: Oh, no. Oh, no! No. No, no, no, no. [panting]

However, when he gathered all the evidence and left the dressing room, he bumped into Shiera as they landed on their bottoms!

Shiera: Hey, watch it, creep.

Unfezant: [defensive] UNFEZANT!

Braviary: VIARY!

Carter: [trembling] [leaves]

Shiera just storms off into her dressing room and slams the door!

Carter: [breathing heavily]

Ash: Whoa, Carter! Are you okay?!

Pikachu: PIKA?!

Karen: Well? When's the wedding?

Brock: [hearts in eyes] Who are the bridesmaids?!

Carter: [groans] She hates me. She'll hate me forever. Like, for this lifetime and every one after.

Karen: No! There's got to be another way.

Ribombee: [agreeing] RIBOMBEE!

Brock: We're not going to give up!

Ash: Yeah! Don't give up until it's all over!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Karen: Ooh, I know. When she goes outside after the show, I'll push her in front of the bus so you can save her!

Dawn: Karen Beecher! Have you lost your mind?! [to Carter] Look, Carter! I'm sure Shiera will like you if you just be yourself!

Piplup: [agreeing] PIPLUP!

Carter: You know what? You're right.

Karen: Great! I've got a bus schedule on my phone.

Carter: No. About another way. I've ruined my chances with Shiera for this lifetime. But maybe, just maybe, I can at least be her friend.

Ash: That's the spirit! I'll even go with you as your wingman! Remember! Just be yourself!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Carter: Right!

Then, they went to her door.

Carter: [to Pikachu] You mind knocking, Pikachu? [chuckles] I saw how she liked you when you first met.

Pikachu: [goes over to the door] PIKACHU!

Pikachu then knocked on the door its tail. When Shiera opened the door, she noticed Pikachu on the ground.

Pikachu: [smiles] PIKA PI!

Shiera: Aww! Hi, Pikachu! [picks it up and cuddles it] Where did you come from, little guy?

Pikachu: [points to Ash] PIKA PI!

Shiera: Oh! Hello again, Ash!

Ash: Hi, Shiera! I just saw your band play! It was awesome!

Shiera: Thanks!

Ash: Oh yeah! My friend Carter wants to talk to you!

Shiera: Huh?

Carter: Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you or make you feel uncomfortable. You just… You remind me of someone I used to know. And I wanted to talk to you, but… [sighs] I'll leave you alone now.

Shiera: [sighs] Wait. You wanna talk to me? [chuckles] How about tomorrow? Bessolo Bistro. 8:00.

Carter: Bessolo Bistro. 8:00. [walks off]

Ash: [to Shiera] [chuckles] Something tells me you two have something going on tomorrow night.

Shiera: You could say that!

Ash: Yeah! I'd better go now! Nice seeing you again, Shiera!

Pikachu: [jumps onto Ash's shoulder] PIKA PIKA!

Shiera: You as well, Ash! [pets Pikachu] And you too, Pikachu!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKA!

Ash then met up with the others.

Karen: Uh, what just happened?

Carter: [tears of joy] I got a date! Everything's perfect.

Karen: Everything's perfect!

Carter and Karen: [jumping up and down] Everything's perfect! Everything's perfect!

Ash: Got that right!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Dawn: I knew all he had to do was be himself!

Piplup: PIPLUP!

Brock: I'm proud of him!

Carter then turns to Ash with a smile.

Carter: Thanks, Ash! I owe ya one!

Ash: [chuckles] That's what wingmen are for!

When Brock saw a beautiful girl walking by...

Brock: [lovestruck] WOW!

Carter: Huh?

Dawn: Oh boy!

Ash: Croagunk! Would you mind doing the honors?

Brock: [takes her hand] Such ravishing beauty and a sight to be seen! Of all the years I've spent alone, I've found you as my one true soulmate!

Croagunk: [Poison Jab move] CROAGUNK!

Brock: [poisoned] On second thought, never mind!

Croagunk: CROA CROA CROA!

Carter: Uh...

Dawn: [sweat drops] Don't ask!

Piplup: [sweat drops] PIPLUP!

Meanwhile, at the museum...

[alarm blaring]

[glass shattering]

A strange shadowy figure stole the Egyptian sword on display!

["Who's That Pokémon?" time]

[as a silhouette shows a bird Pokémon]

Ash, Dawn, Brock, Karen, and Carter: Who's that Pokémon?

Ash, Dawn, Brock, Karen, and Carter: It's Braviary!

[as the silhouette reveals Braviary]

Braviary: BRAV!

[End]

The next evening, Carter had arrived to his date, wearing a tux, and Braviary was wearing a bowtie.

Carter: [exhales deeply]

Braviary: [nervous] BRA!

Karen: [hands him a bouquet of flowers] I can't believe this is finally happening. Ooh, I'm so excited!

Carter: At least one of us is.

Karen: You'll do great. You're one of the best conversationalists I know.

Ash: Yeah!

Dawn: Got that right!

Brock: I agree!

Carter: [gulps]

Dawn: Go get her, tiger!

Piplup: PIPLUP!

Carter then got out of the car, and saw Shiera through the window of restaurant and smiled at how beautiful she looked. Suddenly, a something tackled him and he crashed into a car!

Carter: [grunts]

Ash: Carter! [rushes over to him] Are you alright?!

Carter: Yeah! I'm good! [notices the strange person] What the-

The strange Egyptian warrior then started to charge up his blade and attack Ash and Carter! But suddenly...

Bumblebee: [firing her stingers] No!

Hath-Set: [grunts in pain]

Ash: [to Carter] You know what time it is, Carter?!

Carter: Yeah! [fist bumps Ash] It's hero time!

Ash: Aura up!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Ash and Carter then transformed into Aura Guardian and Hawkman!

Hawkman: [squawking] [yells] [smashes his mace]

Aura Guardian: [fires an Aura Sphere] HA!

Hath-Set: [grunts in pain]

Brock: Ash! You're a superhero?!

Dawn: Brock! Shush! And yes, he is! Go get'im, Aura!

Aura Guardian: You got it! [to Hawkman] What are we dealing with, Hawkman?

Hawkman: That sword, Nth metal, like my mace. I'd bet my life on it. We'll have to take him in the sky.

Bumblebee: What are we waiting for… partner?

Hawkman smirked at this as he and Bumblebee fist bumped!

Aura Guardian: Don't forget about me! [reveals his wings]

Hawkman's eyes widened at this!

Hawkman: When did you get wings?

Aura Guardian: My friend Zenowing! C'mon!

Hawkman: Uh, right!

Soon, they flew off to face the evil Egyptian warrior.

Hath-Set: [laughing] Surprised to see me, Khufu?

Hawkman: That depends. Who are you?

Aura Guardian: Yeah! Who are you?!

He then went in on the attack as he clashed his sword against Hawkman's mace and Aura Guardian's staff while flying through the city.

Aura Guardian: [clashing against Hath-Set] I won't let you hurt my friends! Pikachu, Iron Tail!

Hawkman: Braviary, Sky Attack!

Bumblebee: [tosses PokéBall] Magnemite, Thunder Wave!

Pikachu: [Iron Tail move] CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...PIKA!

Braviary: [Sky Attack move] BRAV!

Magnemite: [appearing] [Thunder Wave move] MAGNEMITE!

Hath-Set: Ugh!

Aura Guardian: Give it up, whoever you are! You're outnumbered!

Hath-Set: I take orders from no one, child! [slashes energy at him]

Aura Guardian: WAH!

Bumblebee and Hawkman: Aura, no!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Hawkman became angry at this!

Hawkman: Hey! That was my wingman you were messing with! [yells] [clashes his mace against him]

The strange Egyptian warrior sent a burst of energy, causing Hawkman to crash into a building!

Aura Guardian: [flies over to him] Are you alright, Hawkman?!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Braviary: BRAVI!

Hawkman: Yeah! I'm good!

The strange warrior then revealed his face from his Sphinx mask.

Hawkman: [gasps] Hath-Set!

Bumblebee: You know this guy?

Hawkman: It's him. I remember now. The reason it always ends badly. An evil sorcerer. Leader of the rebellion. [as he, Aura Guardian, and Bumblebee fly] He used that cursed weapon to overthrow our kingdom, dooming Chay-Ara and me to this endless cycle. We live. We die. We find each other. And he destroys us. Over and over and over.

Bumblebee: Best. Plot twist. Ever!

Aura Guardian: [to Hath-Set] [angry] How could you do something so awful?!

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking] [angry] PIKA!

Hath-Set: Very easily, actually!

Just as Hawkman was about to hit him with his mace, he teleported and blasted a burst of energy at him!

Aura Guardian: Oh no! Hawkman!

Pikachu: [worried] PIKA PI!

Braviary: [worried] BRAVIARY!

Hath-Set: And now, Khufu, [holds the blade at his neck] I shall fulfill the curse once more, and the magic of the gods will be mine to keep. How I crave the rush of pure power that comes from destroying true love.

Bumblebee: [firing her stingers] Ooh, you're so mean!

Hath-Set: [knocks her away]

Bumblebee: [grunts]

Aura Guardian: Bumblebee!

Hath-Set: Prepare for your next life, Khufu.

Aura Guardian: [fires Aura Spheres] You want him?! You're gonna have to go through me!

Hath-Set: This has nothing to do with you! Stand aside!

Aura Guardian: [wielding his staff] Come and get me!

Hath-Set: Very well!

Aura Guardian and Hath-Set then began to clash!

Aura Guardian: Mess with my friend, huh?! I'll show ya! [fires Aura Spheres] HA!

Hath-Set: [deflects the Aura Sphere] Just stand aside, boy! This has nothing to do with you!

Aura Guardian: This has everything to do with me! You're just heartless! Destroying true love! I won't stand for it! [fires more Aura Spheres] HA!

But Hath-Set just deflected them!

Aura Guardian: [growls]

Hath-Set: Just stand aside and let me do what has to be done!

Aura Guardian: Not a chance!

Hath-Set: Very well!

They once again started clashing!

Aura Guardian: Why do you wanna destroy true love anyway?! Answer me that, Tut Man!

Hath-Set: That's for me to know and you to find out, child! [kicks him in the gut]

Aura Guardian: UGH! [falls down]

Hawkman: Ash, no!

Hath-Set: I'll finish you off later for interfering!

Aura Guardian: [growls]

Pikachu: [cheeks sparking wildly] PIKA...

Hath-Set: Now… where is she? Show me Chay-Ara so I may grind your love to dust.

Hawkman: Um, we haven't even had a date yet.

Hath-Set: So… What? I'm early.

Hawkman: Hmm, yeah, kinda.

Hath-Set: So you haven't fallen into the love that surpasses death?

Hawkman: 'Fraid not.

Hath-Set: Well, this is just great! I guess I'll be on my way then! Take your time, Khufu! But mark my words, you will fall in love with her. And when you do, I shall return and your doomed destiny will once again be fulfilled! [teleports away]

Bumblebee and Hawkman: [sigh]

Aura Guardian: Don't worry! We'll get him next time!

Dawn and Brock: Ash!

Aura Guardian: Hey, guys!

Pikachu: PIKA!

Dawn: You guys, okay? Where's the baddie?

Bumblebee: [sighs] He got away!

Dawn: Well, no need to worry! I'm sure you'll get him next time! But this time with more than just you three!

Aura Guardian: Yeah! C'mon, Hawkman! Let's get you to your date!

Hawkman: Right!

They soon arrived back, where Shiera was starting to get worried.

Karen: She's still there, Carter! It's not too late!

[line ringing]

However, Carter dropped the bouquet of flowers and started to leave!

Karen: No, no, no, no, you have to go in! Don't worry about that Hath-Set guy.

Ash: Yeah! Me and the girls will take care of him.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Dawn: Carter, please!

Piplup: PIPLUP!

Brock: You have to do this!

Carter: Thanks for your help, you guys.

Karen: But she's waiting for you! You can't leave her there like this or you'll never get the chance to love her!

Carter: [smiles sadly] [sheds tears] It's the only way I can love her.

Braviary: [agreeing] [sheds tears] BRAV!

Karen: [gasps] Oh. [crying]

Ribombee: [sad] RIBOM!

Brock: [cries] How horrible!

Ash: Well, I ain't gonna let this date go to waste! Dawn! Brock! You guys go to Sweet Justice and find the others! They're always hanging out there anyway!

Dawn: Right!

Brock: On it!

And with that, they headed for Sweet Justice! As for Ash, he went over to Carter and grabbed him by the ear.

Ash: Hold it, Carter!

Carter: OW! [as Ash dragged him by the ear] Ash, what are you doing?! Ow ow ow ow!

Ash: I ain't gonna let you just leave your soulmate hanging despite some inevitable outcome! You're going on that date and that's final!

Carter: [sighs] [pulls his hand off him] Look, Ash. I appreciate what you're trying to do, but you heard what Hath-Set said. If me and Shiera fall in love again, we'll once again be doomed to repeat the cycle. Not only that, [puts a hand on his shoulder] I'll lose you as a friend. And I'll lose Braviary too.

Braviary: [worried] BRAVIARY!

Ash: Well, I don't wanna see my friend with no one to love at all but his Braviary! Who cares what Tut Man said?! If he ever comes back, we'll be ready for him while you go and have your soulmate all to yourself with no problems whatsoever! Now, are you a man or a chicken?!

Carter: [grows a serious look on his face] You're right! I Prince Khufu am no chicken! I'm a man! HAWKMAN! [caws]

Braviary: BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Ash: That's what I'm talking about! Now get in there, Romeo!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Carter: Okay!

Meanwhile, Shiera was shedding a few tears, knowing Carter wasn't coming, so she left, not before drawing a picture of him on a napkin.

Then...

Orbot: Cost is clear, Doctor!

Eggman: Excellent! Now get to work!

Cubot: Why are we here again?

Eggman: You bumbling tin can! We came here to collect the pure form of tragedy! [takes out a pipette]

He then used it to suck up the tears Shiera shed onto the table.

Eggman: And here it is! It was under our noses this whole time! The tears of sadness and despair!

Cubot: Oh! I get it!

Orbot: We have all the requirements for Coldheart's device!

Eggman: Indeed! Let's get back to Coldheart Castle!

As Shiera left the restaurant...

Carter: SHIERA WAIT!

Shiera: [gasps] Carter?

Carter: I'm sorry I'm late! One thing happened and it lead to another!

Braviary: [saying they ran into a few stumble blocks] BRAVIARY BRAV!

Carter: Yeah! What Braviary said!

Shiera just smiled at this.

Shiera: I'm just glad you were able to make it!

Carter: Me too!

Unfezant: [to Braviary] UNFEZANT!

Braviary: BRAV!

Carter: So, uh... do you wanna go in?

Shiera: Sure!

And they did just that!

Ash: And Wingman Ash Ketchum saves love again! Now, to think of a plan for Tut Man! [sits on a bench and thinks like a Winnie the Pooh] Think think think think think! Think think think think think think! [as a light bulb appears glowing] I've got it! The others and I will lay a trap for him and we'll get the jump on him! Oh, the things my mind can come up with!

Pikachu: PIKA PI!

Ash: Yeah, buddy! Tut Man won't know what hit him! I better call the others and get them down here! [pulls out his Rotom Phone and activates the Superhero Girl and Aura Guardian alarm from an app]

[WOOP! WOOP! WOOP!]

Ash: Superhero Girls and Aura Guardian! Assemble at Bessolo Bistro!

Soon...

Aura Guardian: Alrighty, team! Listen up! Carter and Shiera are inside having a date and as his wingman, I plan to keep it that way and they'll soon be together at last! Now, the destroyer of true love known as Hath-Set, or as I like to call him "Tut Man" is going to try everything to destroy it and make Carter and Shiera end up in another reincarnation in another life! And we can't let that happen!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Supergirl: Okay! So, what's the plan?

After explaining the plan...

Wonder Woman: A fitting plan!

Aura Guardian: Alright! Sam, Alex and Clover! You three go set some alarm trippers up where Carter and Shiera will head to next! Supergirl, bring some reinforced steel poles and a reinforced steel top! Aqualad, you make two sets of water traps! One filled with crocodiles and the other filled with piranhas! Green Lanterns and Star Sapphire, you three will make a constructed PokéBall from your power rings! Green Arrow, make the biggest net you can shoot from your arrow! Zatanna! You, Batgirl and the Flash build a brick wall! Wonder Woman, you'll be ready with your lasso! Sailor Scouts, you give us the signal to spring the traps!

Bumblebee: What about me, Aura?

Aura Guardian: I'll need you, Bumblebee, to guard Carter and Shiera! Who knows when Tut Man will strike! [smirks] And have Beedrill feel free to give him one big sting!

Bumblebee: You got it!

Soon, Carter and Shiera were at the park, gazing up at the moon!

Aura Guardian: [talking into the communicator] Are the traps nearly ready?

Batgirl: All set, chief!

Aura Guardian: Alright! Get into your positions! And remember Sailor Scouts, be ready to give the signal if you see Tut Man! And remember what you have to say! "The Sphinx has entered the kennel!"

Sailor Mercury: You got it, Ashy!

Aura Guardian: How are things with Carter and Shiera, Bumblebee?

Bumblebee: So far, so good! [squeals] They look so cute together!

Aura Guardian: Bumblebee, focus! You need to keep guard! Who knows when Tut Man is gonna strike!

Suddenly, Hath-Set appeared!

Sailor Moon: [gasps] [whispers] There he is!

Sailor Mars: [over the communicator] The Sphinx has entered the kennel! Repeat: The Sphinx has entered the kennel!

Aura Guardian: NOW!

Hath-Set: [chuckles evilly] [wielding his blade] And now, Khufu and Chay-Ara, you shall once again-

But before he finished...

[alarms blaring]

Hath-Set: What's this?!

Aura Guardian: Spring the traps!

Hath-Set: Traps?!

Then, Supergirl dropped the cage onto Hath-Set!

Hath-Set: What?! NO!

Aura Guardian: Don't even try to break out, Tut Man! Those bars are made of reinforced steel! And we've set some other traps to keep you away from the soon-to-be happy couple!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Hath-Set: You dare stop me from fulfilling the curse once more!

Aura Guardian: Yeah! I do! And I'm not letting you lay a finger on them! Not even a pinkie finger on them! Now, Aqualad!

Aqualad: [salutes] Roger!

Then, the aquatic trap was sprung!

[crocodiles snapping]

[piranhas snapping]

Hath-Set: AAH!

Aura Guardian: There's more where that came from! [snaps his fingers]

Then, more traps were sprung! A giant green and pink PokéBall was constructed!

Hath-Set: What is this?!

Green Lantern (Jessica): Our special...

Green Lantern (Hal): Green and Violet Lantern...

Star Sapphire: PokéBall!

Aura Guardian: Nice job, you three! [to Star Sapphire] [thumbs up] Especially you, my beautiful Lantern!

Star Sapphire: Thanks, my handsome Aura Man! [blows him a kiss in the shape of a heart]

Green Arrow then jumped out!

Green Arrow: Net's away! [fires his arrow]

Aura Guardian: Now, Zatanna!

Zatanna: You got it!

Zatanna, Batgirl, and the Flash started to build a brick wall!

Hath-Set: N-N-Now, come on! Let's just be friends and forget all of this!

Aura Guardian: Sweet talking will getcha nowhere, Tut Man! D'ya give up?

Hath-Set: Never!

Aura Guardian: Suit yourself! Any last words before you become crocodile food and then piranha bait?

Hath-Set: The power of the Gods will be mine! Mark my words!

Aura Guardian: Famous last words! But it's never gonna happen!

Bumblebee: [over the communicator] Aura, come in! Carter and Shiera are gonna kiss! Repeat: Carter and Shiera are gonna kiss!

Aura Guardian: [gasps]

Pikachu: PIKA!

Aura Guardian: Oh boy oh boy oh boy! Hot dog! [to Hath-Set] Looks like your time's almost up, Tut Man!

Then, Carter and Shiera kissed!

Bumblebee: [gasps] [over the communicator] Their lips have met! Repeat: Their lips have met!

Aura Guardian: Yes!

Hath-Set: NO!

Aura Guardian: [punches him in the face] HA!

Hath-Set: OOF! [knocked out]

Aura Guardian: [dusting his hands] And that's how you buy time for the sake of love!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Soon, Commissioner Gordon and the police came to take away Hath-Set and bring him to Blackgate Penitentiary.

Aura Guardian: Thanks again, Commissioner!

Commissioner Gordon: My pleasure!

Aura Guardian: And see to it that Tut Man gets put under maximum security!

Commissioner Gordon: I'll make the arrangements right away!

Hath-Set: Mark my words, Khufu and Chay-Ara! I will once again fulfill the curse one day!

Then he turns to Aura Guardian.

Hath-Set: And you, I will have my revenge against you and your meddling friends!

Aura Guardian: [sarcastically] Ooh! I'm so scared! [regular speaking] Just be lucky you aren't crocodile food and piranha bait! [to Commissioner Gordon] Also, Commissioner! Why don't you have Blackgate give Tut Man some private lessons about the proper ways to deal with love?

Commissioner Gordon: I'll see what I can do! [takes Hath-Set away] Come on, you creep! Cyrus is about to get a fellow cellmate!

Hath-Set: [growls] [as Commissioner Gordon drove away] Curse you, meddling kids!

As they left, Carter and Shiera approached the heroes.

Aura Guardian: Hey, Carter! So, how'd it go?

Carter just smiled warmly.

Carter: We're officially boyfriend and girlfriend!

Aura Guardian: Alright!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA PIKACHU!

Carter: [whispers] But what happened to Hath-Set?

Aura Guardian: Oh, don't worry about him! He won't be wrecking any true love for a long long time!

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Zatanna: [as she and Star Sapphire hug him] And he wouldn't be in prison if it weren't for our handsome man and his brilliant plans!

Star Sapphire: That's right! Three cheers for our handsome man, Aura Guardian! Hip Hip...

Everyone: Hooray!

Star Sapphire: Hip Hip...

Everyone: Hooray!

Aura Guardian: Aw, thanks guys! But I couldn't have executed the plan without everyone's help!

Pikachu: PIKACHU!

Zatanna: [as she and Star Sapphire hug him] And you know we're always willing to help you, Ashykins!

Star Sapphire: That's right, honey buns!

Zatanna and Star Sapphire: [gives Ash a double cheek kiss] Mwah!

Aura Guardian: [blushes] [giggles]

Sailor Mars: That's our Ashy!

Sailor Mercury: The smartest!

Sailor Jupiter: The bravest!

Sailor Venus: The cleverest!

Sam: And most handsome hero man ever!

And the five hugged him!

Aura Guardian: [blushes] [giggles] [notices the blade] Look! Hath-Set's blade!

Alex: He must've dropped it!

Aura Guardian: [to Star Sapphire] Sapphire!

Star Sapphire: [creates a mallet] With pleasure! [smashes it]

Aura Guardian: Perfect! Let's go home!

After they left, a strange candle monster appeared from a portal and observed the remains of the blade.

? (Singe): Hmm... Nice weapon! Perhaps my boss would want this!

He then gathered the remains of the blade and stepped through the portal, disappearing!

Meanwhile, at Coldheart Castle...

Harley Quinn: Wonder why Sapphire couldn't make it?

Livewire: Said she had something going on!

James: [sees Professor Coldheart pacing around] What's got your icicles in a bunch, Professor?

Professor Coldheart: First off, that is an offensive cold weather stereotype! And second, how long does it take for Egghead to bring back the pure form of tragedy?! I want to be able to execute my plan and rule an uncaring world with an army of Green Meanies!

Eggman: Professor! We're back!

Professor Coldheart: About time you showed up!

Cubot: We have the pure form of tragedy!

Eggman: [holds up the pipette] It was the tears of sadness and despair this whole time!

Professor Coldheart: Excellent! Begin the transfer and begin the preparations for my big plan!

Eggman: Of course! First things first, a sample of your Green Meanie formula!

Frostbite: [hands him a beaker] Uh, here ya go!

Eggman: [takes the beaker] Excellent! [pours it into the device]

Yin: The tragedy form was tears?! We could've gotten those easily! [kicks Jin in the knee]

Jin: [grabs knee in pain] [hops on one foot] [tears as waterfalls] OW OW OW OW OW OW!

Yin: [laughing]

Jin: We'll see how you like it! [kicks Yin in the knee]

Yin: YEOW! [grabs knee in pain] [hops on one foot] [tears as waterfalls] OW OW OW OW OW OW!

Eggman: Not those kind of tears, you bumbling demons! The tears of sorrow! [squeezes the tears from the pipette into the machine]

Jin and Yin: Oh!

Computer: Installation complete!

Eggman: It's done, Professor!

Professor Coldheart: Excellent! [laughs maniacally] All we need now is a test subject!

Venom: But who would be a good test subject?

Jin: [as he and Yin bring in a man with a rag on his head] We already got that covered! [takes the rag off]

Man: [gasps] AH! Who are you?! Where's Lazy Mary?!

Professor Coldheart: You won't be worrying about her anytime soon! In fact, you're not going to care about her anymore! [aims the device at him] Say cheese! [fires it]

Man: YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM MY LAWYER! [hit by the beam]

Then, he stopped the device!

Jin: Hey! Nothing happened!

Yin: Yeah! What gives?!

Professor Coldheart: Just wait, you two! You'll see!

Then, the man started changing!

Man: H-Hey! Wh-What's happening to me?!

Boomtower: [to Catwoman] This just got interesting!

Catwoman: Mmhmm!

Soon, the man had turned into a Green Meanie!

Harley Quinn, Jin, and Yin burst out laughing!

Jin: [while laughing] That's a Green Meanie?!

Yin: [while laughing] That looks more like a green bean with arms and legs!

Harley Quinn: [while laughing] Green Meanie?! More like "Green Beanie"!

Livewire: [laughing] It looks like a cross between a frog and a penguin!

Eggman: Well, at least we now know the device works!

Doomwing: Hold on! Why can't he talk?!

Professor Coldheart: He's a Green Meanie now! And Green Meanies don't speak! They just do what they're told! Observe! [to the Green Meanie] Go fetch me a cup of ice cold water!

Green Meanie: [salutes] [runs off] [comes back with a cup of ice cold water]

Doomwing: Impressive!

Giganta: Bring me a steak!

Green Meanie: [runs off] [brings back a steak]

Giganta: Mmmmm! Yummy!

Orbot: Impressive!

Professor Coldheart: And soon the entire city will be under my command and I will rule an uncaring world! [laughs maniacally]

[Recap Time]

Carol: It's recap time!

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

[as Pokémon cards were placed in a binder]

Karen: Unfezant and Croagunk!

[as the screen shows Unfezant]

Ash: Unfezant can come in two different forms! Male Unfezant can have red plumage near their face, like a mask, and their underbelly is green! As for female, they lack red plumage, and their underbelly is brown!

Goh: Plus, Pidove evolve into Tranquil, then into Unfezant!

Ash: And they're native to the Unova Region!

Pikachu: PIKA PIKA!

Karen: Hey, Carter! What gender Unfezant does Shiera have?

Carter: Female, obviously! All Braviary are males!

Ash: He's not wrong there!

Braviary: BRAV!

[End]
