Ashley, Ash, Espeon, Snorunt and Aipom were still looking for Pikachu around the area. Ash's Aipom looks around from atop a tree while Snorunt and Espeon were still searching around the area and Ash started speaking in a determination tone. "Hey, Aipom! Do you see Team Rocket's balloon?" Aipom jumped out of the tree as it was shaking it's head no. Ashley gave her twin brother a concern look on her face. "I see." Ash muttered under his breath as Ashley slowly placed her hand against he's shoulder for comforting. Ash began slowly walking away with Ashley, Snorunt, Espeon and Aipom on there side and started speaking in a disappointment tone. "Where did those Team Rocket guys go? I hope Pikachu is okay."

Ashley, Snorunt, Espeon, Aipom and Ash slowly took sitting on the roadside feeling a little sombrely. "Ash, I'm sure we're going to look for Pikachu! Don't give up." Ashley reassured as she placed her hand against his shoulder for comforting.

"You! What are you doing in such a place?" Ashley and Ash quickly turned around with a confused look on there face, to noticed that Officer Jenny was standing next to them with her motorcycle.

Ash looked back at Officer Jenny with still getting confused and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Officer Jenny!"

Ashley and Ash slowly went over to Officer Jenny's motorcycle as she started driving them and began speaking in a determination tone. "Team Rocket in Sinnoh?"

Ash slightly nodded towards Officer Jenny as he was holding Aipom and started speaking in a softer tone. "Yes, I'm definitely getting Pikachu back!" Ashley gave her twin brother a small smile on her face.

Officer Jenny started speaking in a determination tone. "Sinnoh is big. Instead of searching around randomly, leave it to us. You should go to Professor Rowan's laboratory and stand by far any news from us." Officer Jenny riding to them all the way towards Professor Rowan's lab.

Ashley and Ash headed inside of Professor Rowan's lab as they saw an older man with fair skin, blue eyes, and spiky white hair with sideburns and a mustache. He wears a white lab coat over a white shirt paired with a light blue vest, a gray tie, dark teal pants, and gray shoes. "So you are Ash and Ashley? I have already heard from Professor Oak about you two." Professor Rowan greeted them as he continued speaking in a calmer tone. "I'm giving you Aipom's and Snorunt's, pokeball." Professor Rowan, handing over Aipom's and Snorunt's Poké Ball to Ash and Ashley.

Ash slightly smiled at Professor Rowan and started speaking his usual cheerful attitude. "Thank you very much!"

"Huh! I wonder what kind of Pokémon is that?" Ashley muttered under her breath.

Professor Rowan slowly placed his hands against his chin and started speaking in a well manner tone. "And about your Pikachu, there is no need to worry. A beginning trainer who departed this morning told me that she found a Pikachu which was being chased by some rascals going by Team Rocket."

Ash widen his eyes in total shocked as his twin sister was still staring at the bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee and started speaking in a panickedtone. "Really?"

Ashley slowly was walking over to the bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee with Espeon and Snorunt behind her then she kneel down to its level and started speaking in a softer tone. "Hey, there little one." Ashley placed her hand against the bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee's forehead and continued speaking in a softer tone. "You're such an adorable Pokémon I've never seen before!" Ashley started stroking gently on the forehead.

Professor Rowan slightly chuckled under his breath as he was walking over to Ashley and started speaking in a well manner tone. "This is Chimchar, Ashley! It's a fire starter Pokémon, that one of only available here at the Sinnoh Region!" Ashley blinked her eyes a few times as she was looking back at Chimchar, who's giving her a small smile on her face.

Ashley gently took Chimchar's pokeball with a small smile on her face as she looked back at Chimchar and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Welcome to the family, Chimchar." Chimchar jumps into Ashley's shoulder with an excitement look on her face.

Later on Ash, Ashley and Professor Rowan decide to called up the Pokémon Center and Nurse Joy started speaking in a softer tone throughout the screen."About that...If you mean Dawn, she left just a little while ago."Ashley was biting her lower lip tightly as her newly caught Chimchar was on her right shoulder while she was holding her Snorunt tightly.

Nurse Joy started speaking in a softer tone throughout the screen. "Around ten minutes, I think. She said she will certainly find its trainer."Ashley and Ash immediately runs out of the lab for the Pokémon Center.

Professor Rowan was quickly rushing out of his lab along with his assistants and started speaking in a determination tone. "Hey, you!"

Ash and Ashley quickly turned there direction towards Professor Rowan with a confused look on there face and Ash started speaking in a confidence tone. "I'm going after them! It must be close, right? Since it's a Pokémon Center, It should be near here. Let's go Aipom!" Ashley and Ash started rushing out of the Professor Rowan's lab with Espeon, Snorunt, and Chimchar.

Ash started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Brock!" Ash was rushing over to Brock with Ashley, Aipom, Espeon, Snorunt, and Chimchar on his side.

Ash slightly nodded of understanding as he was staring at Brock and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "You too Brock. How come?"

Then a girl with long purple hair and tan skin started speaking in her usual cheerful attitude. "Brock, so it was your friend after all."

Brock slightly nodded of understanding at the younger woman and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Yes, he's the friend I was traveling with for a very long time along with his twin sister. His name is Ash and his twin sister is name Ashley." Ashley waved at her with a nervous look on her face.

"Nice to meet you, Ash and Ashley. I'm Claudina. As you can see, I'm a truck driver." Claudina was introducing herself with a greeted smile on her face.

Ash slightly nodded of understanding as he was staring at Brock and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Nice to meet you."

Let's hitchhike at Pewter City, and from now on, let's be together forever. I will do my best, and you do yours! So see you later!"Ashley slightly chuckled once more as she was holding her Snorunt tightly.

Ashley looked over to her shoulder to noticed that Claudina was holding a cellphone and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Yes? Ah, Tarin? Ah, you made wait...Roger, I'll be there soon." Claudina slowly hanged up her cellphone as she turned her direction towards Brock who's in complete shocked.

Bye Brock,your cooking was delicious." Claudina apologizes and waving to the pair before driving off, leaving Brock dejected.

Ashley and Ash watched Brock was so dejected while Espeon, Aipom and Snorunt were a little annoyed and Chimchar in the other hand was completely confused. "Let's go Ash and Ashley! I am set on being a Pokémon breeder! From here on it's just us two men and Ashley!"Brock explained as he was recovering from a broken heart.

Ash was pumping his fits into the air and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "Yeah, nice to be with you again."

Ashley slightly took a deep breath as she started speaking in a sarcastically tone. "Yeah, it's nice to have you back again, Brock!" Ashley started face palming herself once more.

Brock slowly turned his direction towards Ash with a concern look on his face and started speaking in a calmer tone. "What happened to Pikachu?" Ashley gave her twin brother a small smile on her face as they started walking, Ash brings Brock up to speed on what happened. "Team Rocket is really unforgivable..."

Ash checks the map for the Pokémon Center and started speaking in a calmer tone. "There's a Pokemon Center up ahead. Let's ask Nurse Joy which way that girl went and we'll see."

Brock started having his own fantasy and started speaking in a seductive tone on his voice. "I'll be the one to ask Nurse Joy."

Ashley rolled her eyes of annoyance as she slightly giggled a little and noticed Ash's Aipom was fighting against two avian Pokémon with primarily grayish-brown plumage and there is a white marking on its face, resembling a mask, and a white spot on its chest, but the rest of its head and the lower half of its wings are black, a long, orange beak with a black tip and oval, black eyes with white pupils. Ash was quickly rushing over to his Aipom and started speaking in a determined tone. "Stop it Aipom! We don't have the time to be fighting now! Hey!"

Brock stared at the two avian Pokémon which they are still fighting Aipom and started speaking in a calmer tone. "Eh? This is Pokémon is..." Ash took out his Pokédex from his pocket while Ashley was still holding her Snorunt's tightly.

Ash slight smiled a little and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "A flying type, eh? All right!" Ash was slowly putting his map back into the pocket.

Brock turned his direction towards Ash with a confused look on his face and started speaking in a well manner tone. "Will you capture it?"

Ash took out an empty Pokéball from his pocket and started speaking in a confidence tone. "I will make it our companion, and after that we'll search for Pikachu. Aipom, we're catching Starly, so please assist me."

Ashley's Chimchar jumped out of her shoulder as she was growling at the two Starly. Ashley blinked her eyes a few times as she clenched her fits tightly and started speaking in a confidence tone. "Ember!" Chimchar opens its mouth and shooting bolts of fire at the Starly It lands.Ashley focus on the battle against Starly while Espeon, and Snorunt were watching the battle, but Starly flaps its wings at a high speed and a strong gust to blow the smoke away. "Hang in there Chimchar, Scarch!" Chimchar was preparing scratching Starly, but Starly's body becomes surrounded by a white aura, to knocking out Chimchar before following up with Starly slapping Chimchar across the face multiple times with one of its wings. "Don't lose Chimchar!" Ashley encourages Chimchar as both Espeon and Snorunt watches Chimchar scratching Starly with its fingers, injuring Starly enough in the process. Ashley slowly took out her Pokeball from her bag and continued speaking in a confidence tone. "Go Pokeball!" Ashley throwing the Poké Ball as Starly goes in and the Ball rattles before locking.Ashley quickly rushed over towards her newly caught Starly as she kneel down and took it off the ground. "Awesome, I'm going to name you,Ascella!"

Ashley slowly turned her direction towards her twin brother and Ash started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "You did well Aipom! Starly, I got you!" Ash suddenly feels a little upset, which Ashley placed her hand against his shoulder for comforting.

Brock slowly walked over to Ash's side with a concerned look on his face. "What's wrong?" Brock asked confusedly to the young trainer.

Ash took a deep breath as he looked both at Brock and Ashley. "It's just that Pikachu was always with me in happy times like this." Ash explained as he gave them, a disappointment experience on his face.

Brock placed his hands against Ash's shoulder and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "You made Starly your companion just because you wanted to find Pikachu a little faster, right?"

Ash slightly smiled a little and started speaking in his usual cheerful attitude. "That's right. Starly, come out!" Ash was sending out his newly caught Starly while Ashley was doing the same thing with Ascella, to begin an aerial search for Pikachu.
