The sun was gleaming its presence on the region of Kanto. And to a young girl by the name of Serena Yvonne, this day couldn't be better...
'I hope Ash is at home...' She nervously thought. The last time they met was at the Lumiose Airport, where she left after kissing Ash. While she was still nervous and freaking out about how Ash would now react, she knew she had to at least give it a shot.
"Okay...here goes nothing." She sighed and was about to knock on the door, when an explosion occurred behind the house. "What in the world?!" She exclaimed before running towards the backyard. There, she saw a middle aged woman covered in soot, as well as a fainted Mr. Mime, on the ground.
"Well Mimey, I think we need to take a small break-" The woman said, before noticing Serena in shock. "Oh hello there Serena. Mimey was just learning a new move, but as you can see, it's gone a bit wrong." She said as she picked herself up and dusted her clothes and face. "Mimey, can you be a darling and get us some snacks?" "Mime...mime." The now conscious Mr. Mime weakly said, before forcing itself to wake up. It hurried into the house as the humans followed.
"So Serena, what brings you to Kanto?" Delia asked, offering some snacks as the Mr. Mime, or Mimey as it was called, took a steamy bath.
"Well, I was actually hoping to meet Ash, if he is available." Serena shyly spoke.
"Oh Serena, I'm sorry, but Ash is currently in the Alola Region, he won't be back for a week, at least after the graduation ceremony is over." Delia apologized.
Serena face fell, but she quickly turned it around when she heard the word 'graduation". "Wait, Ash is a student? In a school?" "Yes darling, and one of the best as well. I'm so proud of what he's done..." While Delia was still rambling about what Ash had achieved, Serena was thinking about the Alola region. She had heard about it from a recent performance, which one of her competitors was a native. She also heard about it being a great vacation spot and home to Z power, something she also witnessed during that same competition. She was still wondering about going there after the competition, and hearing that Ash will be there...
"Serena? Serena? Earth to Serena?" Serena suddenly was pulled out from her thoughts when she was startled by a series of fingerclicks in front of her face.
"What-" Serena almost screamed, while Delia chuckled as she thanked Mimey.
"Let me guess. You're thinking about Ash aren't you?" Delia asked as her eyebrows rose up.
"WHAT? NO. I AM IN NO WAY THINKING ABOUT YOUR SON MS. KETCHUM!" Serena practically screamed, so loud that Delia had to cover her ears. "Serena, first of all, call me Delia; second, I already know about that kiss."
"Umm, ok-wait, Ash told you about it?!" Serena's face instantly turned white as she panicked. "Calm down dear, Ash was talking about it for a whole week before we went to Alola, and before you worry, you have my full approval. I've never seen Ash that happy since the day he got Pikachu."
"Phew..." Serena gave out a sigh of relief.
"But let's not put your trip here to waste. Why don't we take a trip to Professor Oak's lab? I believe you haven't met the rest of Ash's Pokemon." She smiled. Serena thought for a moment, before she made up her mind.
"Let's go then!"
=============================
Team Eclipse Base Ruins, Crescent Island, Roria
"Sir, we have cleared every remaining grunt from the base. The ones who resisted have been locked in." A soldier reported to a man wearing a brown trench coat with a Pokeball symbol badge.
Nearby, a group of grunts was delivered out in straitjackets and luggage carts. While some of them were still asleep, others were heavily shaking, showing signs of resistance.
"Good job, soldier. Have our scientists recovered the data of Project: Plasma? It must not fall into the wrong hands."
"Sir, the data is being uploaded to Headquarters as we speak, currently at 18.4%-"
"Can the process not be hurried? Every second we stay means a chance for the wrong people to take it, and we must make it as swift as possible!" The man ordered with a clear hint of urgency.
"I wish we could sir, but Cypress has installed too many encryption codes as well as deletion systems, our scientists are already having trouble restoring and deciphering it while overriding the system at the same time." The soldier explained apologetically.
"Fine, get back to your-" The man began before he was interrupted by a violent shaking of a pokeball, which fell off and opened to reveal a turquoise green Toxicroak, who drew a defensive stance.
"Toxicroak, what's the matter?" The Toxic Mouth Pokemon didn't respond. Instead, after croaking for a few minutes, it grabbed a nearby metal detector and flung it towards the fire alarm.
"Toxicroak! Why did you- wait...no!" the man suddenly had a thought cover his mind before whipping out a walkie talkie.
"THIS IS OFFICER LOOKER SPEAKING, A CODE ULTRA IS IN EFFECT. ALL AVAILABLE SOILDIERS WITHOUT DUTIES HEAD TO THE EXIT IMMEDIATELY." Looker shouted before taking off along with his Toxicroak, while the soldier barely kept up, who looked as if he was hit with a Confuse Ray.
"Sir, why are we evacuating? And why did you issue a Code Ultra?" The confused soldier asked.
"Young man, let me just tell you that my Toxicroak has Anticipation as his ability, you go figure out the rest." He said.
As they rushed into the main hall, an explosion occurred, knocking back several soldiers. A masked figure wearing a purple Eclipse uniform emerged from the hole, which confirmed Looker's suspicions.
"You! Hands up!" he ordered. The masked figure didn't respond. Instead, it took out an Pokeball and threw it.
"Pangoro, Hyper Beam!" it yelled as a massive panda like Pokemon emerged, who took a sprig from its mouth and unleashed a beam of dark energy.
"Toxicroak, Poison Jab!" Looker commanded. Toxicroak remained calm, and it looked as if the Hyper Beam had hit its mark. When the dust cleared however, Toxicroak was nowhere to be seen, only to suddenly reappear and stab the Pangoro in the back, causing it to fall.
"Machoke! Submission!" The soldier called as he threw his own pokeball. A muscular Pokemon emerged before tackling Pangoro, locking it into a full body blind and throwing it into the figure.
"Argh!" The figure groaned before recalling Pangoro. It took off its mask, revealing the pinkish pigtails and a scar on her face. "You International Police don't know when to stay put, do you?" She smiled, silently taking out a small metal ball from her back pocket.
"First of all, we're now the Interdimensional Police; second, I repeat again madam, hands up!" Looker ordered again. The girl merely smiled and did what she was told, before throwing the ball to their feet, releasing a foul, orange gas. As Looker and the soldier backed off, she sprinted for the lift.
"NO!" Looker yelled. "MACHOKE, FOCUS BLAST!" The soldier screamed.
As the doors closed, the Machoke gathered a orb of blue energy before hurling it towards the lift. The doors burst open as Looker ran towards it. While the lift was knocked down, he could clearly see a hole on the ceiling.
"Damnit." He cursed as his Toxicroak growled.
The girl ran out of the tavern before throwing another Pokeball, this time sending out a Sharpedo. She hopped onto the Brutal Pokemon as it sliced towards Route 17, landing on a small island. As she got off and recalled her Pokemon, the blade of an Aegislash was suddenly upon her temple. She merely smiled.
"Arlo. Still up with the threats?" She causally asked. A man in an inverted royalty suit stepped out from the shadows, his eyes void of emotion as he recalled the Royal Pokemon.
"I only hope you have what I was promised, Linda." He coldly replied, not taking his eyes off her.
She smiled before raising a disk. "I have it here. Couldn't let my mentor's great work go to waste, could I?" The man stared at her coldly before grabbing her throat.
"What! WE HAD A DEA-" Linda was now panicking as she began to lose consciousness. R merely smiled before he released his grip.
"I know your tricks Linda. But just so we're clear, I'm only here on behalf of my boss." The man warned, to the chagrin of a coughing Linda. "And believe me, I can, and will, fight you if you go rogue."
