Brock and Gary woke up on a beach.
"Ugh…where are we?! Ashly?" Gary asked.
There was no answer. He looked around but she wasn't there.
"I'll just send Serena to find them…what the?!" He asked when he realized his pokeballs were all gone.
"Ugh….I can't feel my head" dawn's voice said from behind him. They turned to see her in Pokemon form sitting on her haunches and holding her head.
"Dawn, thank goodness your all right!" Brock said thankfully.
"Yeah, now we have someone who can cook for us!" Gary added.
"You two jerks can cook for yourselves! I just wake up and say My whole head is numb and all you two can think about is food!?" Dawn yelled in their heads.
She changed to her human form and stormed off down the beach.
"Uh, sorry, dawn, had I known Gary was going to say that, I would have shut him up" Brock said while he hurried after her.
"You're fine, Brock. I just can't believe that after I saved my trainer's life, he doesn't even ask if I'm feeling ok" she huffed.
"Ok, dawn, I'm sorry, I just haven't eaten anything since before we entered vermilion"
"Fair enough…" She sighed.
"Ugh…I still taste the trash pancakes…" Ashly sighed. She was trekking through the island's jungle with May walking and Serena flying, both behind her. All of whom were in their Pokemon forms.
"Maybe this will teach you not to eat the first food item you see in front of your face" may said.
Ashly rolled her eyes "Oh come on, you know you'd do the same" she replied.
may shrugged "True…no matter, how are we going to find Brock, Dawn, and Gary?"
"Well I say one if us should shoot an attack high into the air just like a signal flare" Ashly suggested.
There was a loud thumping nearby making them all shiver a bit.
"Or maybe just keeping a low profile would be ideal" she whimpered.
They looked up through the trees and saw a Giant Rhydon.
"Oh no…we're back on the island of giant Pokemon" she gasped.
"The what?" May asked.
"It's an island covered in giant mechanical Pokemon. Which means…..they feel no remorse…" Ashly said softly
Serena looked at her "You're afraid of machines?"
"No, I just don't like giant robot Pokemon who's attacks really attack!" Ashly screamed while galloping away. A giant bolt of lightening struck the ground behind may and Serena causing them to chase after her.
"That thing is a robot?!" Dawn asked in shock as a giant Venusaur walked over them.
Gary let out a sigh of relief "I'm just clad it didn't step on us"
"I remember this place. Team rocket, misty, Ashly and I were lost here before…why is this all happening again!?" Brock asked.
"Then you should remember a way out of here!" Gary told him.
dawn punched him in his arm. "Not until we find our friends!" she said.
They walked along for a bit until they saw team rocket, minus Meowth were standing over a twig that they had stuck in the sand, crying.
"What are you idiots doing now?" Brock asked.
"Meowth is gone!" Sobbed Jessie.
"Did you even bother to look for him?"
"The twerp has a point, James" Jessie said.
"Yes, but how are we going to find him in this place?" Replied James.
Meanwhile the Pokemon in question was walking around the island holding a net he had salvaged. It was nighttime now as well.
"If I can find Ashly and catch her, the boss has gotta let me back on his lap" he said to himself.
"What were you saying, meowth?" her voice asked. He spun around and saw her standing behind him.
"Uh, nothin' let's go find our friends" he lied. May and Serena came over as well.
"What is that net for then?" May asked. Ashly growled at him.
"Oh, uh hey look over there, it's Brock!" Meowth lied.
When Ashly turned around he tossed the net onto her.
She frowned. "Meowth, you do know I can easily change to my human form, or better yet, a five meter tall time-warping dragon, right? A simple net from a ship isn't going to hold me" she said.
(Yeah, if you look at the sinnoh pokedex, a fully grown Dialga is about as tall as two of the male player characters…you can easily ride on one's back like it's a horse…if it lets you…I mean it's one of the most majestic Pokemon out there. It's base friendship level is ZERO. How do you think it's gonna react to being caught in a tiny little metal ball by a literal ten year old?)
"Uh….I…umm….how badly do you wanna hurt me right now?" He asked worriedly.
"You don't wanna know Meowth" she replied,
Serena lifted the net off of her and Ashly nodded her thanks.
"Um, how bout we just try and find you guys's trainer?" He asked.
"Fine, but if you try and trick us again…." May said while crushing a rock to dust under her right foot.
Meowth nodded.
"Meowth? Answer us!" Called Jessie.
"Don't be so loud, do you want the robot Pokemon to start attacking us?!" Dawn asked.
"Well do you have a better idea, Twerpette?!" Jessie retorted .
"As a matter of fact, I do. I'll just look through the island using my spacial abilities" she said.
She shut her eyes for a bit, then opened them.
"Ok, this way" she said as she led Brock, Gary, Jessie, and James through some bushes.
By now it was morning. Ashly yawned and stretched her legs out. She turned her head to see Meowth was sleeping with his arms around her. She opened her mouth and shot him into a tree trunk using dragon breath.
"Gaah, what was that for!?" He asked.
"For sleeping while hugging me. I have no desire to be touched by you in any cute or romantic way whatsoever, let alone at all" she snapped.
"Keep it down, will you?" Serena said in her sleep. She had her wings wrapped around her as well as her tail, effectively keeping herself warm.
May stood up and stretched as well. "Come on, Serena. We need to get moving" she said.
"But it's too early" Serena whined.
"There you girls are, I've been worried" Gary said. He ran through the bushes followed by the others.
"Oh man I am so glad to see you two" Meowth yelled. He rushed over to Jessie and James and hugged their legs.
"Well this is sudden" James observed.
"Those girls are crazy!" Meowth yelled, pointing at Ashly and may.
"Well the only reason you got hurt was because you first were stupid enough to capture me with a fishing net, then you tried to sleep with me" Ashly called.
"May, Serena, Ashly, are you alright?" Brock asked.
They nodded and changed to their human forms.
"While we may have been friends through this little adventure, next time we meet, you'd best be ready for a fight" Jessie announced as she, James and Meowth ran off.
"Do they even know where they're going" sighed May.
"Just leave them, I found us a way to Porta Vista" dawn said.
Soon they were looking out over a sunny beach and city.
"Well we made it out of there in one piece…and now for some rest and relaxation!" Ashly cheered.
(After a scary past few days, our heroes have made it back to civilization in one piece. What new adventures await them in this sunny seaside city? Come back next time on Pokemon to find out!)
