Hi everyone! I'm back with another Pokémon crossover story featuring Sailor Moon. But, to be honest, I can't get all the credit for coming up with this story. I owe most of the ideas to Lord Ashwood the 42nd. And now, on with the story!

*I DON'T OWN POKÉMON OR SAILOR MOON*

It was a bright, sunny day in the Kanto Region. The bird Pokémon were singing, the bug Pokémon were happily fluttering and buzzing about. Everything was at peace. And now, we come to where a young man, who is now a Pokémon Master, was at a corral filled with all the Pokémon he ever caught. Ash has black hair, and brown eyes. He always wears a cap on his head. Ash has two lighting bolts-like markings underneath each eye. Ash has a narrow, triangular, edgy, tuft of hair in the middle of his forehead, that comes to point on the right side. Without the cap, Ash has a cowlick. Ash wears a Galar Region outfit, consisting of a blue jacket with yellow outlines, a white short sleeve undershirt with a red stripe, indigo shorts with black outlines, and wears black sneakers with blue highlights. His hat is red and the PokéBall design is in a black shape of the letter C. He was also wearing a black Z-Ring on his wrist. With him was a short, chubby rodent Pokémon. It is covered in yellow fur with two horizontal brown stripes on its back. It has a small mouth, long, pointed ears with black tips, and brown eyes. Each cheek is a red circle that contains a pouch for electricity storage. It has short forearms with five fingers on each paw, and its feet each have three toes. At the base of its lightning bolt-shaped tail is a patch of brown fur. It is classified as a quadruped, but it has been known to stand and walk on its hind legs. It's called a Pikachu! It has been Ash's partner throughout his life as a Pokémon Trainer. And now, after becoming the champion of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos and Alola, Ash is now a Pokémon Master.

Ash: You know, buddy, it sure feels great to be a Pokémon Master.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Ash: And I have you and all the Pokémon to thank for making my dream come true. Especially all the friends we travelled with. It makes me feel thankful for them and my dream.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKA!

Ash: But, I still can't believe that Serena had feelings for me all this time and I didn't even know. [gasp] Oh, man! If she had feelings for me, then what about Misty, May, Dawn or Iris. [frustrated] Man, If only I wasn't so dense!

Pikachu: (calming Ash down) PIKA PI, PIKACHU!

Ash: Now she's gone and I might never see her again. If only I had just told her how I felt about her. But, I kinda have to thank her for opening my eyes about love. I hope one day, I'll be able to find my own true love.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

After awhile, Ash and Pikachu were about to head home, when he heard a voice.

?: Ash!

Ash: [looking around] Hello? Who's there?

?: Ash!

Ash: Where are you?

?: Over here!

Ash walks over to a part of the forest beyond the corral and what was there before his eyes was a white equine Pokémon resembling a qilin or centaur with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. It also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. This Pokémon is called Arceus, the God of the Pokémon World. Ash and Pikachu were amazed.

Ash: Arceus!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKACHU!

Arceus: Greetings, Ash and Pikachu! It's been a long time.

Ash: Sure has! What're you doing here?

Arceus: I have been watching you, my friend. And I know how grateful you are for your dream and all your friends and Pokémon you traveled with.

Ash: Yeah, but sometimes, I want to be able to help others fulfill their dreams too.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKA PIKACHU!

Arceus: I see! If you wish to help others fulfill their dreams, I can give you the opportunity to do so. Not only that, but you will also protect the dreams of others.

Ash: Really! How are going to do that?

Arceus then opens a portal which leads to another dimension.

Arceus: Just step through the portal and find out. But, before you do, you will need some of your strongest Pokémon with you.

Ash: Don't need to tell me twice.

So, Ash got some of his strongest Pokémon; Charizard, Greninja, Glalie, Sceptile, Staraptor and Lycanroc. He was all set when Arceus said something.

Arceus: Ash! Just so you know, you won't be protecting the dreams of others alone.

Ash: [confused] Whaddya mean by that?

Arceus: You will find out soon enough, now go on to your new adventure.

Ash complied and went into the portal with Pikachu on his shoulder and they disappeared into a flash of light. When they came out the other side, they saw that they were in a city with busy streets and lots of people.

Ash: (to Pikachu) Pikachu! Something tells me we're not in Kanto anymore!

Ash walks down the sidewalk looking at all the sights and sounds of the city. But, he wasn't watching where he were going, and he accidentally bumped into someone. That someone was a girl. She has blue eyes and long blonde hair that she wears in odango. The outfit that she is wearing is a light blue middle school uniform (which later became her iconic everyday outfit), which has a blue sailor collar with two white stripes. She has a red ribbon on the front of her uniform, which she ties her magical locket to. She has a white school top with blue sleeves which have white stripes on, like the collar. In the summer, she wears a white top with short puffy sleeves. She has a blue pleated skirt with a blue ribbon on the back. She usually wears white socks and black cross-strap Mary Jane shoes. With her was a black cat with pink ears, red eyes, sleek fur and a crescent moon on her forehead. She is very petite with long whiskers.

Girl: Oh, I'm so sorry!

Ash: No, it's my fault! I wasn't watching where I was going. (gets up then helps the girl up) I didn't mean to knock you over. Are you hurt?

Girl: Oh, no I'm fine! And think nothing of it. I usually knock myself over.

Ash: I'm just glad you're ok uh... Sorry, I didn't catch your name.

Girl (named Serena): Oh, my name's Serena.

Ash: You know, I have a childhood friend with the same name as you. (sees the cat in Serena's arms) Oh, and who are you? (pets the cat which is enjoying it)

Serena: That's my cat, Luna. And it seems she really likes you Ash. (sees Pikachu) By the way, who's this little guy you have here?

Ash: Oh, this is my good buddy, Pikachu!

Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKA!

Serena: What kind of animal is it?

Ash: Well, actually, Pikachu's a Pokémon.

Serena: Pokémon? What's that?

Ash: Well, Pokemon are basically animals with amazing abilities. And people like me, they catch, train, and take care of them. And there are mega tournaments you enter with them and you battle against other trainers which strengthens your bond with your Pokemon.

Serena: Whoa, that's so cool!

Ash: I know!

Serena: (remembering)[gasp] Oh no! School! I'm gonna be late!

Ash: Don't worry, I got you covered. (takes out a PokéBall and enlarges it)(while tossing it) Charizard, I choose you!

Out came a draconic, bipedal Pokémon. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. There are two fangs visible in the upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the third joint of each wing. A single wing-finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Its arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its plantigrade feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame. It was called a Charizard.

Charizard: [appearing] RAWWWR!

When Serena saw Charizard, she freaks out!

Serena: [scared] W-Wha-What is that thing?!

Ash: Don't be scared, Serena! This is my Charizard! It'll help you with getting a ride to school.

Serena: [nervous] I don't know?

Ash: (climbs on Charizard reached out his hand for Serena's) Do you trust me?

Serena was hesitant at first, but she knew Ash as a good person. So, she took Ash's hand and climbed on Charizard's back.

Serena: (unsure) Are you sure this is safe?

Ash: No need to worry, it's completely safe. Just sit tight and hang on. (to Charizard) Alright, Charizard! Let's take to the skies!

Charizard complied, flapped its wings, and took to the air. Serena was a little scared and he held on to Ash while having her eyes shut.

Ash: (to Serena) You can open your eyes now, Serena.

Serena: (unsure) Are you sure?

Ash: I'm sure.

Serena opened her eyes and saw that there was a great view of the city.

Serena: [amazed] Wow! This is incredible! WOO-HOO!

Soon, they arrived at the school before the bell to start school. Serena thought of an idea that could really surprise her friends. She whispered it to Ash, who agreed to the idea. Meanwhile, inside the school, two of Serena's friends, Molly and Melvin, were waiting for Serena to arrive. Molly has wavy red hair that is slightly shorter than her shoulders, and often wears a darker teal bow in her hair. She has teal eyes (unlike her blue eyed manga counterpart). When she is not wearing her school uniform, she often wears solid colored skirts and tops. Melvin is a 14-year-old boy with a blondish-colored hair. He was always seen with his school uniform. Also, his most notable trait were his large glasses with swirls in the lenses.

Molly: I wonder what's keeping Serena? She's never usually this late.

Melvin: Maybe she's been abducted by aliens and are doing experiments on her.

Molly: (looks out the window of the classroom) [gasp] [scared] Or maybe she's on the back of a huge orange dragon with a flame on its tail.

Melvin: Please, Molly, there's no such thing as dragons. They're just mythological creatures that only exist in fairytales.

Molly: (points out the window)[scared] Then how do you explain that!

Melvin looks out the window and saw the same thing Molly saw.

Melvin: [shocked] WHAT?! But that's impossible!

Then, they saw Serena and a boy they never saw before with her. Molly opened the window so Serena can come in.

Ash: (to Charizard) Steady, Charizard!

Then, Molly helped Serena into the classroom and Ash leapt off of Charizard and inside the classroom.

Serena: Whatcha think about my special entrance. We're you surprised?

Molly: I'll say! That was amazing! (sees Ash) Hey, Serena! Who's your cute new friend?

Serena: Oh, this is Ash! I met him while I was in my way to school. (to Ash) Ash, this is my best friend, Molly.

Ash: Nice to meet you, Molly! And this is my good buddy, Pikachu!

Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKA!

Molly: Aww, this little guy is so cute! (pets Pikachu on the head, which it enjoys) I've never seen anything like this before. What kind of animal is it?

Melvin: (appearing out of nowhere)[matter-of-factly] It's perfectly obvious, Molly, that this creature is a mouse. But, this mouse is clearly some kind of mutant. Why else would it have a weird shaped tail?

Ash: My Pikachu isn't a mutant.

Serena: (to Ash) You'll have to excuse our friend, Melvin, Ash.

Molly: Yeah, he can be a total nerd and annoying all at once.

Melvin: Tell me, what species of mouse is this?

Ash: Actually, Pikachu's a Pokémon.

Molly: Huh? A Pokémon?

Melvin: What's that?

Ash: Well, as I told Serena earlier, Pokemon are basically animals with amazing abilities. And people like me catch, train, and take care of them. And there are mega tournaments you enter with them and you battle against other trainers which strengthens your bond with your Pokemon.

Melvin: (taking notes) Fascinating!

Ash: And some Pokémon are able to evolve, which means they change their appearance and sometimes their types. There's even a special kind of evolution that not only changes the Pokémon's appearance, but can temporarily power them up in strength and power. It's called Mega Evolution.

Serena: [amazed] Whoa!

Molly: [amazed] That's so cool!

Melvin: [amazed] It's more than cool, it's incredible!

Just then, the Serena's teacher came in. She wears a mauve pink outfit and red shoes. Her hair color was a reddish brown and her eyes were blue. Her name was Ms. Haruna.

Haruna: Hello, everybody! And happy last day of school. (sees Ash) Oh, and I see we have a guest here.

Serena: Yep. This is my new friend, Ash. (to Ash) Ash, this my teacher, Ms. Haruna.

Ash: [bowing] Pleasure to meet you, ma'am! And this is my good buddy, Pikachu.

Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKA!

Haruna: It's nice to meet you too, Ash. Would you like to join our class? I heard you telling Serena, Molly and Melvin all about these Pokémon creatures. So I figured why don't our lesson for the last day of school be about Pokémon.

Ash: I would be honored to teach everyone about Pokémon, Ms. Haruna.

Haruna: Wonderful!

So, Ash taught Ms. Haruna's class all about Pokémon. He told them that there were over 800 different species of Pokémon, how Pokémon can go through a phenomenon called evolution, Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and the bond between trainer and Pokémon. Now, they were at the battling part of the lesson. They were outside on the soccer field where Ash was talking about how to Pokémon battle properly.

Ash: Now, the key to a Pokémon battle is all about strategy. You need to know which Pokémon is strong against a certain type of Pokémon and what moves to use that are super effective against it.

Molly: I have a question, please! Exactly, how do you know which Pokémon to choose when fighting a certain Pokémon?

Ash: It's simple! You just need to know what type the Pokémon is. For example, Pikachu is an Electric-Type. And Electric-Type Pokémon are strong against Water-Type Pokémon and Flying-Type Pokémon but are weak against Ground-Type Pokémon.

The students were amazed at how Ash knows all this stuff. Even Ms. Haruna was impressed.

Ash: The moves a Pokémon uses in battle is important too. For example, Pikachu uses Electric-Type moves which are super effective against Water-Type Pokémon and Flying-Type Pokémon, not very effective in Dragon-Type Pokémon, Electric-Type Pokémon and Grass-Type Pokémon, have neutral effect on other Pokémon types, and have no effect on Ground-Type Pokémon.

Melvin: Can you demonstrate this, please?

Ash: Of course.

Ash takes out six PokéBalls from his backpack and enlarges all of them.

Ash: (tossing his PokéBalls) 'Kay, gang, come on out!

Out came his Charizard, and five other Pokémon that Serena never saw before. One was a bipedal, frog-like Pokémon. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing. It was called a Greninja. The next was a spherical Pokémon that consists of a black rock core covered by ice. The icy covering has several holes and spaces across this Pokémon's body. Blue eyes and a mouth with flat teeth are visible through three of these holes. There are two large, black, conical horns on either side of its head. It was called a Glalie. The third was a reptilian, bipedal Pokémon. Its neck is somewhat long, and it has two crests on its head. It has semicircular, yellow eyes with red rims. Its lower jaw and a belt-like band across its waist are also red. Along its back, it has two lines running down the middle and two rows of yellow nodules that are described as seeds. Its tail is shaped similar to that of a palm tree's branch. Both of its long arms have two sharp, elongated leaves and three claws. It was called a Sceptile. The fourth was a grayish-brown, avian Pokémon similar to a large bird of prey. It has small, red eyes and a thin, yellow beak with a black tip. There is a circular white patch on its forehead, which is smaller on the female. Larger white markings cover the front of its throat and chest, separated by a black ruff encircling the shoulders. A red-tipped, black crest extends over its head, nearly reaching the tip of its beak. It is fussy about the shape of this comb, which it uses to appear larger and frighten enemies. It has large wings, five black-tipped tail feathers, and yellow feet with black talons. It was called a Staraptor. The fifth was a canine Pokémon resembling a wolf. It has orange fur, green eyes, and a mane that runs from its back to its head. It was called a Lycanroc.

Charizard: [appearing] RAWWWR!

Greninja: [appearing] NINJA!

Glalie: [appearing] GLALIE!

Sceptile: [appearing] SCEPTILE!

Staraptor: [appearing] STARAPTOR!

Lycanroc: [appearing] LYCANROC!

Ash: Here's an example of a super effective, not very effective, and neutral attack. (to Pikachu) Now, Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!I

Pikachu: [complying][attacking] PIKA! PI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Pikachu charged up and fired a bolt of electricity from the pouches of its cheeks at Ash's other Pokémon. All of the Pokémon took the hit from Thunderbolt.

Ash: (to the students) As you can see, Charizard and Greninja are in pain because they are Water-Type Pokémon and Flying-Type Pokémon, so it's super effective. Sceptile took the hit, but it barely took any damage, so it's not very effective. Glalie and Lycanroc took the hit, but it was neutral to them. Now, who would like to have their first experience of a Pokémon battle?

All the students raised their hands at once. Ash was trying to choose two of the students from the group. He then made his decision!

Ash: Serena and Molly! Come on over and give it a shot. Just choose one of my Pokémon that you want to battle with.

For Serena, her choice was crystal clear.

Serena: I choose Pikachu!

Pikachu: [happy] PIKA!

Since Serena chose Pikachu, Molly was trying to figure out which Pokémon she should use so she could have the upper hand. Then, she made her decision.

Molly: I'm going with Sceptile!

Sceptile: [determined] SCEPTILE!

Ash: Ms. Haruna, would you like to be the referee?

Haruna: What do I have to do?

Ash: Just watch the battle and when either side is unable to battle, you can declare the winner.

Haruna: I'll give it a try.

Serena and Molly were all set for their first Pokémon battle.

Serena: Hope you're ready for this, Molly. Just because you're my best friend, doesn't mean I'll go easy on you.

Pikachu: [agreeing] PIKACHU!

Molly: I should say the same about you, Serena.

Sceptile: [agreeing] SCEPTILE!

Haruna: Let the battle begin!

Serena: Pikachu, start off with Thunderbolt!

Pikachu: [complying and attacking] PIKA! PI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Pikachu charged up and fired a bolt of electricity from the pouches of its cheeks at Sceptile. It hit Sceptile, but it barely did anything to it. Serena was shocked at this, but then, she remembered what Ash had said.

Serena: Oh, right! I forgot! Electric-Type attacks aren't very effective against Grass-Type Pokémon.

Molly: Now, it's our turn! Sceptile, use Quick Attack!

Sceptile: [attacking] SCEP-TILE!

Sceptile glowed white and ran towards Pikachu at full speed ready to hit Pikachu. But Serena wasn't going to give up that easily.

Serena: Then, we'll use Quick Attack, too! Pikachu, go!

Pikachu complied and glowed white as well and ran at full speed at Sceptile. Both attacks clashed at each other, but it barely phased them.

Serena: Now, Pikachu, use Iron Tail!

Pikachu: [complying and attacking] PIKA! CHUUUUUUUUU! PIKA!

Pikachu's tail glows white and as about to hit Sceptile with it, but Sceptile jumped into the air.

Ash: (calling to Serena) Now's your chance!

Serena: [confused] Chance for what?

Ash: To use Thunderbolt! Just trust me on this one!

Serena: If you say so! Pikachu, Thunderbolt, now!

Pikachu: [complying and attacking] PI-KA-CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Pikachu charged up and fired a bolt of electricity at Sceptile. It was able to hit and cause Sceptile some pain.

Sceptile: [shocked] SCEP-TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILE!

Molly: [shocked] What in the world?!

Serena: [amazed] Whoa!

All the students were amazed too, even Ms. Haruna.

Then, Sceptile landed on the ground. It was on its feet at first, but then, it fell backwards and collapsed to the ground, leaving swirls in its eyes.

Haruna: Sceptile is unable to battle, Pikachu wins! And Serena is the victor!

Melvin: But how did an Electric-Type attack work on a Grass-Type Pokémon. (looks at his notes) Maybe I wrote this wrong.

Ash: You didn't write it wrong, Melvin.

Melvin: Huh?

Ash: You see, when Grass-Type Pokémon are on the ground, it barely works because the electricity goes into the ground, but when they're in the air, it works fully and can cause lots of damage.

Melvin: [amazed] Man, you're just full of surprises, aren't you?

Ash: You ain't seen nothing yet, my friend.

Then, Ash gave Pikachu and Sceptile a round blue berry and a berry that resembles a pear. They happily munched on the berries and were completely energized again.

Serena: Uh, Ash? What were those things you just fed your Pokémon?

Ash: They were an Oran Berry and a Sitrus Berry. Those kind of berries restore energy to your Pokémon. There are lots of other different kind of berries that restore a Pokémon to full health. Some cures poison, paralysis, burns and even defrosts your Pokémon, other berries are used for lots of different things like PokéBlock and Poffins.

Molly: Wow! Ash, you're amazing! Do you think I can be a Pokémon Trainer someday?

Ash: Sure, as long as you follow your heart, you can reach great

That really inspired everyone, even Ms. Haruna. All the students got to play with some of Ash's Pokémon until the final bell to go home. Serena and Ash were walking home together.

Serena: Hey, Ash! Where are you heading from here?

Ash wasn't sure about where to be should.

Ash: To be honest, I really don't know where I'm gonna go.

Then, an idea popped into Serena's head.

Serena: Why don't you stay at my place. I'm sure my parents won't mind. You can even crash on the couch in the living room.

Ash: Thanks, Serena! I'd be happy to stay at your place.

Then, they heard a man's voice.

?: Yo, Serena!

Serena knew who it was, but Ash didn't. But then, he saw a man with black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a black turtleneck along with a green sweater jacket, light purple pants and black loafers. His name was…

Serena: [happy] DARIEN! (goes over and hugs him and gives him a peck on the cheek)

Darien: Just finished up your last day of school I'll bet.

Serena: Mm-hm! Sure am!

Darien: (sees Ash) Hey, who's your friend?

Serena: Oh, this is my new friend, Ash. I met him on the way the school this morning. (to Ash) Ash, this is my boyfriend, Darien.

Ash: Nice to meet you, Darien! And this is my good buddy, Pikachu.

Pikachu: [greeting] PIKA PIKA!

Darien: (shakes Ash's hand) Nice to meet you, too. But, what kind of animal is Pikachu anyway?

Serena: Actually, Darien, Pikachu's a wondrous creature called a Pokémon. Ash taught me and my friends all about that in school today.

Darien: Is that so?

Serena: Mm-hm, and I got to experience Pokémon battling firsthand.

Darien: Really?

Serena: Mm-hm! Well, I gotta get home. Ash is staying over at my place.

Darien: I gotta be going, too. I'm meeting up with my friends at the arcade. See ya later, Serena!

Serena: Bye, Darien! [sighs] He's so dreamy!

Ash: You really seem to like him, Serena!

Serena: You kidding! Darien is my one true love. Don't you have a true love?

Ash: Not really, but I able to understand love thanks to my childhood friend, Serena.

Serena: Whaddya think of me as, Ash?

Ash: Well, to be honest, Serena, I do love you, but as a sister figure.

That made Serena happy, as she and Ash hugged each other.

Serena: Now, whaddya say we head home, little brother.

Ash: Sounds good to me, big sis!

And with that, they headed for Serena's home. Things are starting to change for our friend, Ash. What other adventures will be have. You'll find out! As the new adventure continues!

To be continued…

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