Hiya! Soo... Uh fifth chapter...cool!

"Prepare for trouble!"

"Make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation,"

"To unite all people within our nation,"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love,"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! Das roight!"

Ash growned. "What do you two want?"

"Oh, you know what we want..." I said, eying pikachu in as menacingly as I could.

"Pikachu, use-"

"Ah, ah, ah!" James interrupted.

"We challenge you to a pokémon battle!" I said.

"Make that a double battle!" James added. I thought that was pretty clever.

"You want to battle?" The twerp asked.

James and I nodded our heads. "A good ol' double battle. No tricks, no funny-business." Meowth told him.

"If we win, you hand over Pikachu." I stated.

"And if I win...?"

"We won't bother you anymore. Ever." James said. We hadn't agreed on that, but we wouldn't keep our word anyway, so it didn't matter.

"Deal!" Ash said. The rest of his twerp crew gasped at his rashness, but we predicted it.

James and I had planned out our battle, even rehearsing it a couple times. The twerp chose Pikachu and Rowlet, and we chose Wobbuffet and Mareanie. Mareanie was our main attacker, and Wobbuffet protected them both with it's mirror coat and counter. We were getting more and more confident by the second. Mareanie was getting loads of hits in on both pokémon: a spike cannon here, a sludge bomb there, we even used our Z-move! We could actually win this!

Rowlet was the first to faint, after we used Black Hole Eclipse. We thought Pikachu was out too, but he got back up, more determined than ever. Unfortunately for the twerps, Ash was incredibly stubborn, deciding that he first had to get rid of Wobbuffet, but that blue blob was stronger than he looked. After getting hit with counter and spike cannon simultaneously, Pikachu was out of the battle.

We...won! What? How? James, Meowth and I were stunned, so were our pokémon. Was this a dream? We just kind of stood there, looking at eachother, then ash, then our pokémon. What now?

Our answer came quickly, as bewear scooped us up and brought us back to home base. A brief feeling of rage crossed over me, but was quickly replaced with happiness. We beat Ash in a battle, fair and square! All this time I thought we weren't improving, but it was now clear to me that we were. All these years hadn't been for nothing! James and I had grown so much as villains, and as people, and our teamwork today really proved it.

Once we arrived, it was still early in the afternoon. James and Meowth were treating me as if I was angry, staying a safe distance away and being fairly quiet. I should be mad, we just stood there like idiots instead of grabbing Pikachu. But, I wasn't mad, I was proud of our team and wanted to reward us.

"We did well today. Why don't we take the rest of the day off? Maybe go window shopping or something?" I could tell right away that James was on board. Window shopping is something we did every once in a while for fun. It sounds kind of boring, but it was always fun to see what the shops had to offer. Walking around, playing with trinkets, and trying on clothes was just about the most fun thing we could do, considering how broke we were. Meowth didn't really like it for some reason, but we would often drag him along with us.

"Yeah, that sounds awesome!" James exclaimed. I loved when he got unreasonably excited about things like this.

Meowth groaned. "Can I stay behind dis time? I'm kinda toired."

I thought for a moment. "You know what? You did a good job today. Do whatever you want." His face immediately brightened up. I didn't give him praise very often, but I was trying to work on that. He deserves it.

Sooo uhhh I just wanna clarify that this chapter is just inspired by that one episode when they genuinely beat ash, and is not supposed to follow the same storyline. Sooo yeah. Hope you enjoyed and be sure to leave a review!

Luv ya!

Buh-bye!
