A/N: To be clear, ASH IS NOT GIOVANNI'S KID IN THIS FIC, OK? Oh and this chapter is short. And for those who read Amnesia, I will not be updating this Thursday cause it is Thanksgiving here in the states.

"Don't these jerks know when they've lost," Jessie complained.

"Honestly, the boss is acting pretty desperate to get rid of these dudes," Meowth pointed out.

"I wonder why," James said.

"NOT IMPORTANT, the important thing is taking out as many of these Team Flare people and impressing the boss so we can get a promotion."

The three exchanged devilish grins.


"Okay, so, do we have any idea where Ash is?"

The group turned to Serena.

She shook her head, "They knocked us out."

"Any idea where they'd take him?"

Serena shrugged, "I wish I knew."

Korrina snapped her fingers, "I got it, Lucario can use the Aura to track him down."

"Really?"

"If they're doing this like they did six months ago, Ash should be with his team and Lucario could find Riolu."

"Team Rocket scum!" someone yelled.

"Don't tell me Team Rocket and Team Flare are working together," Chloe groaned.

"I doubt it, I'm leaning more towards turf wars, this is technically Team Rocket territory and Team Flare is invading it," Alain explained.

"And Team Rocket doesn't like people who get in the way of their world domination," Serena said.

"Wait, world domination, aren't they just two guys with a talking Meowth," Go asked.

"Oh you innocent child, not at all, I've seen their boss, it's big," Dawn said.

"When?" May asked.

"Before I explain, can we acknowledge that Ash has some weird knack for getting kidnapped?"

"Yes," Brock said.

"Okay, so he was helping out the Pokemon Meloetta, and he somehow managed to get kidnapped by the leader of Team Rocket, who I think is called Giovanni, and but we, mainly his friend Iris and Cynthia, managed to help it.

"But nothing tops the fact HE JUMPED OFF THE TALLEST BUILDING IN THE WORLD TO SAVE PIKACHU."

"How is that kid still alive?" Alain said.

"I've known him for three years, and that is one of the questions that keeps me awake," Brock said.

"Sir!"

"What was that?" Max asked.

"Ash and I had to stop a plot to steal a bunch of pokemon in Sinnoh, and I'm pretty sure that was the person that was in charge, "Go said.

Serena and Dawn poked their heads around a corner and saw Matori.

"Just leave it to the agents, you don't need to be here."

"I have my reasons Matori."

"Oh shoot."

"That's Giovanni, isn't it," Serena said, shaking.

Dawn nodded.

"And what are those?" Matori asked.

"Personal reasons."

"Your daughter?"

Giovanni nodded, "Lysandre could make her a target."

"A guy like that has a daughter?" Dawn scoffed.

"Dawn," Serena whispered, yanking her back.

Giovanni turned towards where the girls had been and narrowed his eyes before walking off.

"That was close," Dawn sighed in relief.

"Was that the boss?"

Dawn nodded, "He would have caught us if Serena didn't grab me."

"And there was one more thing," Serena piped up.

"Yeah, that psychopath has a kid, can you believe that? And he's scared some dude named Lysandre is gonna hurt her."

"Did you say Lysandre," Alain said, borderline panicking.

"That's what I wanted to say, he really is back."

"No wonder they went after Ash and Greninja."

"Who's Lysandre?" May asked.

"The leader of Team Flare who should be dead," Korrina said.

"And he definitely wants Ash dead," Serena said, still shaking a little.

"What did Ash do to set him off?" Drew asked.

"Uh, a lot."

"Well isn't this a fine gathering of twerps."

"But where is the twerp?"

"Team Rocket!" Go and Chloe yelled.

"Oh, you guys," Korrina shrugged.

"Do we know you?" Jessie asked.

"I was the Mega Evolution girl that you tried to steal a Lucario from."

"Oh yeah," Team Rocket said in unison.

"How are you so calm?" Go whispered.

Korrina shrugged, "Enemy of my enemy is my friend, and besides if it's a fight between Team Flare and Team Rocket, I'd rather be on the side that wants to control the world rather than the one that wants to destroy it."

"So where's the twerp?"

"Team Flare kidnapped Ash and Pikachu," Serena said.

"HOW DARE THEY!" Jessie shrieked.

"DON'T THEY KNOW THAT WE CALLED DIBS ON PIKACHU THREE YEARS AGO!" James yelled.

"AND HOW DARE THEY OPPOSE THE GREAT GIOVANNI!" Meowth yelled.

Chloe looked at Serena, who shrugged and mouthed, "I don't know."

"So, will you help us beat Team Flare?" Alain asked.

"Of course, we need to protect the boss's reputation for being the greatest villain in the world," Jessie responded.

"Why are we trusting them?" Chloe squeaked.

"Lysandre wants to kill us all and Team Rocket would rather control us, I'd rather be alive than dead."

"Besides," Serena explained, "they were on our side during the Kalos Crisis."

"I still don't trust them."

"Neither do I," Serena shrugged.

"Why don't you think we're trustworthy?"

"You're telling me that you're not scheming to grab Pikachu right now?" Dawn said, raising her eyebrow.

"Fair."

"So, you guys are criminals, any idea where they'd take Ash," Go asked.

"Well, I don't see why they wouldn't create a base in the underground," Jessie said.

"The what?"

"You know, the underground tunnels, we have a base down there, it's not hard to set one up."

Korrina looked at Lucario, who had a small Aura Sphere between his paws and had his eyes closed in focus. After opening his eyes, the Aura Sphere disappeared and he nodded to Korrina.

"Looks like they were on to something."

Serena smiled.

"How do we get down there?"
