Chapter 7 Clefairy and the Moon Stone
It was another bright sunny day for Ash and his friends, who were heading towards Mt Moon. So many strange tales were passed down and told about this unusual place, and Ash and his friends are about to find out that all of them are very true.
On the other hand, Naruto and Sakura were looking at each other, remembering what Arceus said to them about helping Ash save the world many times in the future. However, Arceus couldn't tell the two when this danger would happen but gave the two Ninjas hints of what they needed to watch out for in the future. The two didn't care; they would help Ash in any way they could, no matter what the evil was; they hadn't told Ash or the other in the group this as Arceus said it would be best not to tell Ash or anyone else. And this was something that the two didn't like; this was more so with Naruto, who hated lying to them even now; he just wanted to tell them what Arceus had said about the world, being in danger, and they needed to help the chosen one as well.
As they continued to walk towards Mt Moon, Sakura saw Naruto's face and knew that he wanted to tell their new friends what they knew. However, Sakura just went a little closer to Naruto and started whispering in his ear. "Don't think about it, Naruto, you know that we can't tell them. Arceus said that we couldn't tell them. We'll only make them worry," Sakura told Naruto, making sure that the others didn't hear her.
Naruto knew that Sakura was right. "I know Sakura, but I just don't like lying to them," Naruto said to her with a frown on his face; he was just happy that Ash and the others were in front of him.
Sakura just nodded as she looked at her new friends, but she also smiled when she saw Pikachu sleeping on Ash's backpack. "Oh, Mt Moon, doesn't the name sound so romantic, Sakura?" Misty asked Sakura with a smile on her face; Sakura looked over at Misty and smiled as the pink-haired girl just nodded.
Sakura just continued to smile at Misty before she giggled. "Your right Misty, it's just too bad that we don't have a boyfriend to take us," Sakura said with a smile as both girls just thought about the fantastic date that could happen there if they had one.
On the other hand, Naruto grinned as he looked at Sakura with a huge smile on his face, knowing that he could ask Sakura for a date. "Well, Sakura-chan, if you like, I could take you on a date to Mt Moon." He said with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, Naruto, but no, after all, you're still just a kid and act like one too. I mean, look at what you did back home. And all the pranks that you did, and then there is what you did to Brock," Sakura said as she closed her eyes and smiled at Naruto, who hangs his head down a little, but Sakura just giggled.
"Besides Naruto, I need to work something's out first as I'm not sure what to feel right now, oaky," Sakura said to him, making Naruto smile a little at hearing this from her.
"So what else does it say about Mt Moon?" Naruto asked as he looked at said place.
"Well, they say that a meteorite crashed there in prehistoric times," Brock said to the younger teens, who were a little shocked at hearing this.
Shocked at hearing this from Brock, Naruto just smiled, hoping to see this meteorite with his own eyes. "So, are the stories true? I know that it would be cool to see it with our own eyes," Naruto said as he continued to look at Mt Moon in wonder and with a smile on his face, while Brock just nodded at this.
Ash, on the other hand, just smiled at his friends. "Well, I know that we'll find out once we get there with plenty of Pokémon to catch as well," Ash said with a smile.
While the others just nodded at Ash, wanting to see what Pokémon Mt Moon had, after all, it would mean that Ash and Friends would get some new Pokémon for their team. However, it was then that all four heard the cry of someone in danger and calling for help. Yet this had even woken up Pikachu, who was wondering what was going on. "Look, it's coming from over there!" Ash said as he and the others all ran over to the person that was calling for help.
As they got closer, they saw that a bunch of Zubat was attacking a man with brown hair and a lab coat, he also had some glasses on, but it was a little too hard for Ash and the others to see this right now. The man was hunched over with his hands over his head, trying the best he could to protect himself from the attacking Zubat. The Zubat just dived down on him once again, one after the other. When Ash and his friends arrived, they saw what was going on and knew something was wrong.
"It's a bunch of Zubat," Ash said, looking at the bat-like Pokémon, while Pikachu had moved to the top of Ash's head to see what was going on as well.
"Yeah, but they're attacking that guy over there," Misty said as she pointed to see that the Zubat was still attacking the man while Ash, Sakura, and Naruto got out their Pokédex, so that they could learn a little more about them.
"Zubat, flying Pokémon with supersonic powers Zubat like to live in dark caves and hate sunlight," Dexter said as Ash and the others were a little confused by this, wondering why the Zubat would be outside the cave.
"Well, not those Zubat from the looks of it; they like the sunlight," Ash said with a little joke while Naruto just nodded.
Misty and Sakura knew that they were joking this even more so with what Naruto said next. "Your right, Ash. I mean, what gives?" Naruto asked, looking at the Zubat. "I know one thing if they were vampires, they would all be dust by now," Naruto said, joking as both he and Ash laughed a little at the joke.
However, Sakura and Misty didn't find the joke funny, as they both knew that a person was in danger right now. "Ash, Naruto, this is no time for jokes, you know, that guy is in danger!" The two girls yelled at the two boys.
Naruto and Ash were both a little shocked at how mad the two girls were, but they also knew they were right. Since right now was not the time for jokes. "You're right sorry," Ash said, looking at Misty and Sakura, feeling a little scared of them now knowing that Misty had her mallet, and from what he knew of Sakura from, Naruto didn't want to get her mad.
"Come on, guys, let's deal with these's Zubat," Sakura told them with a smile on her face as she took out one of her Poké Balls and gave over towards Naruto as the blond just nodded at her and took one of his Poké Balls out too.
"Ready when you are," Naruto said with his trademark grin at his friends, who were also ready to help.
The three just nodded as they all throw their Poké Balls towards the Zubat, and so with a flash of white light as two Pokémon came out since Ash decided to use Pikachu, with Naruto and Sakura using Eevee and Butterfree. "Alright, let's do this," Ash said as he smiled at his two ninja friends.
Naruto and Sakura nodded as they gave their Pokémon some orders on what they were to do to help the man in trouble. "Alright, then Pikachu, use Thundershock," Ash called out.
Simultaneously, Naruto told Eevee to use her Sand Attack on them so that Team Rocket would be distracted from seeing Pikachu and Butterfree. On the other hand, Sakura ordered Butterfree to use her supersonic to confuse them even more.
Soon the three attacks of their Pokémon headed towards the attacking Zubat; Ash watched, hoping that the plan would save this poor man from the Zubat.
Ash and the others watched the attack hit dead them with the man under attack, looking to see who had saved him from the Zubat. After this the all the Zubat went flying back into the cave so that the Zubat could escape. And also get to safety from what's going on and getting attacked by the three Pokémon.
After the Zubat had retreated into the cave, the man who got attacked was still lying on the ground. Ash could tell he was still in great pain and moaning at what had happened to him. It didn't take too long for Ash and the others to run over to see if he was alright and not hurt from the attack he just got from the Zubat.
Ash was the first to get over to him and Pikachu, who was on his right arm at the time. "Hey, are you alright?" Ash asked, running over to him.
Once Ash got closer towards the man just jumped up so fast that it shocked both Ash and Pikachu, both of which were hugged by the man who was amazed by what he had just seen. Not only by Ash and Pikachu but also by Naruto and Sakura as well as their Pokémon. "Wow, you guys are the best!" He yelled with delight in his voice as he was still hugging Ash and Pikachu, which was a little too much for their liking.
"It was nothing we thought it was the right thing to do in helping you," Sakura said with a smile as she looked over at him and saw the trouble Ash was in and how mad Pikachu was getting.
He went on to say how great the three were, and even Naruto didn't like the way this man was talking as it was just a little too embarrassing. "Man, this guy is a little crazy." Naruto thought as he looked over at him, noticing that he was still talking.
Pikachu, on the other hand, had enough of this and used a Thundershock on both Ash and the man while the others just closed their eyes at this, as the two just fell to the ground while all Pikachu did was give a little smiled that it was no longer getting hugged by the crazy man.
"Well, that was sure shocking," Naruto said with a grin on his face as he looked at Ash and the man they had saved but still felt a little sorry for Ash.
While Brock was laughing at what Naruto just said and the joke he made, the two girls could only sigh at this as they both just looked at each other, not sure what to say about this, but they did their best not to laugh and hold it in as well.
Just then, the man that was shocked by Pikachu got up, standing back on his feet. "They say that a man's best friend is his Pokémon and with you, and I believe it's true." He said as he looked over at Ash and Pikachu then towards the two ninjas.
"I think this guy is as gone a little crazy," Ash told his friends with a whisper.
After Ash said it was excellent on just how well the three humans worked so well with their Pokémon, and before they could say anything, the man started to rim like a poet. The strange man then thanked the three and their Pokémon, even more, thinking that the Zubat would be the end for him and thankful that he was alive, something he repeated a few times.
"Well, he sure does not look like the poetic type," Misty said, looking over at this man.
Before saying anything else, Naruto wanted to know why the Zubat decided to attack in the first place. "Hey, can you tell me why the Zubat were attacking you, mister?" Naruto asked him.
"Never call me that!" He yelled, shocking Naruto, who just backed away a little. "My name is Seymour, the scientist, knowledge research, and even the unknown. That's what I look for." He told Ash and Co, who just looked at him. "But I need your help."
A while later, everyone was in the cave, and they noticed that inside the cave had lights all over the walls; everyone could tell that something was wrong. Then, the friends saw some Pokémon, but they weren't even running away from them.
"See, the cave has been, all lit up inside. So, now it's making all the Pokémon confused," Seymour told them, looking at some of the Pokémon as did the others.
"I see, so that's why the Zubat were outside the cave, the lights in the cave are too much for them, and when they went outside, they thought it was you who set up all the lights," Brock said as Seymour nodded.
"You're right as they need the dark, I mean, look at these's Paras there planting their mushrooms everywhere. And the hot lights are drying up the Sandshrew," Seymour said as Pikachu and the others looked on to see that the Paras were planting their mushrooms into the ground, and even one Sandshrew was on the ground with his tongue out.
On the other hand, Sakura, Ash, and Naruto were all angry at the ones that could have done this and wanted to find and stop them. "That's just awful. Who could have done this," Sakura said as she was looking around the cave and at the poor Pokémon?
"Yes, and that's why I'm here, to try and find the ones that are behind this," Seymour said to the younger kids and teens. "I fear that they are after the Moon Stone."
"So what's so important about this stone then? I mean, it sounds like an everyday stone to me," Naruto said, a little confused at why someone wanted it.
Seymour just nodded as he looked at Naruto. "You see, the Moon Stone is a huge boulder that is millions of years old, maybe even older. Deep in these's caves, the meteorite hides, yet no explorer has found this place the rock that comes from outer space. We have studied its fragments for many an hour and found out that it increases a Pokémon's power. And that's why I believe the thieves have come here." Seymour said to the five who just looked on.
"Well, I have to that is very interesting," Naruto said with a grin on his face. "As this Moon Stone sounds so cool."
With a nod from Seymour, who just smiled at them. "Yes, you see, ever since I was a child, I believed that Pokémon came from outer space."
"From outer space, I'm a little confused here. I thought that Pokémon came from Earth," Naruto said as he scratched his head, still confused as was Sakura, and she had been reading as many books as she could on the Pokémon world.
"Yes, I do, and where is this spaceship, you ask?" Seymour asked as the four just nodded. "Well, it's here in this very cave, and I believe it's the Moon Stone." He said as he imagined what it could look like with a smile.
All the two girls could do was giggle a little at this, as Misty knew that nobody had thought of that idea yet. "Well, that is interesting, for sure."
Seymour then ran over to Ash and Naruto and looked at the two knowing that they could help. "You believe me, right." He said with a creepy grin as the two boys just nodded.
At this point, a Clefairy just hoped past them with something in its hands, yet they couldn't see what it was holding. "Hey, that looks like a Clefairy," Brock said, looking at the Pokémon as it just hoped past them.
Misty and Sakura just looked over at the cute little Pokémon. "Wow, what a cute Pokémon." The two girls said with a smile.
On the other hand, Ash just took out one of his Pokédex to get information on the Pokémon. "Clefairy, this impish Pokémon is friendly and peaceful and is believed to live inside Mt Moon, yet very few people have seen it."
Ash, Naruto, Sakura, and Misty all smiled at this, each wanting this Pokémon to add to their team and maybe also be their friend. "Alright, I'm going to catch it," Ash said as he got out an empty Poké Ball.
However, before Ash could do anything, Seymour grabbed hold of Ash's right arm. "No, wait; you can't," He said as all Ash could do, was look on as the Clefairy hopped down the left path.
On the other hand, Ash looked back at Seymour since he was still holding on to his arm, wondering why he had stopped him. "I'm sorry, but it's best if you just let it stay here. I hope you can all understand," Seymour said as he let go while Ash just smiled at him.
Ash and his friends then heard a call of fear from where Clefairy had gone not too long ago, which made them all worried. "That's Clefairy!" Misty yelled as they knew that something terrible must be going on to scare the Pokémon like this.
Meanwhile, Clefairy quickly found herself getting trapped right against the back of the rock wall. Clefairy was now staring at the one attacking her, all the while holding the stone in her hands. Then, Clefairy saw the shadow of a cat-like Pokémon, standing on a cliff using it to frighten the unfortunate Pokémon even more. "Now come on, don't be scared of Meowth." He said with a wicked smile.
At that point, Ash and the others all arrived just in time to stop him as well, something that Meowth was a little angry about looking at Ash. "It's Meowth!" Ash yelled as he looked over to the talking cat that was from Team Rocket.
On the other hand, Meowth looked over at the five kids, and he was not happy that they were here at a time like this. "Meowth, what are you losers doing here?" He asked with a scowl knowing that they wouldn't get their plans done with the blonde and pink hair brats here.
Naruto just jumped out in front as he looked up at Meowth in anger. "We're looking for the ones that have put lights up all over the cave? And from the looks of it. You're the ones that are behind all of this!" Naruto yelled, not happy at what Team Rocket had done to the Pokémon that lived here.
Just then, Pikachu went up to Clefairy to see if she was alright. "Pika?" the yellow mouse asked with a worried look on his face.
Clefairy, on the other hand, just looked at Pikachu, still a little frightened at what was going on but happy that it was being helped, and smiled a little. Pikachu just smiled, even more, saying that he and the others were friends and here to help and would drive Team Rocket away from their home.
"So Team Rocket is behind this, but why, what are they up to this time?" Ash asked, thinking about what the three members could be up to this time.
Brock and the others just nodded at Ash, knowing they would have to stop the three before they could do anything else to Mt Moon. "Yeah, we better stop them before they start even more trouble," Brock said to his friends as they knew that the other two human members of the trio could be close by, so they needed to be ready.
Before they could say anything else, they heard two voices. "Trouble, I think they're talking about us, James." The female voice said as she stepped out of the shadows while holding onto a shovel.
James just nodded as he was holding a pitchfork. "I know, so they better make it double," he said with a smile on his face.
It was then that Jessie and James joined their shovel and pitchfork together, making an 'X' sign with their tools. "To protect the world from devastation," Jessie said with a grin on her face.
"To unite all peoples within our nation," James said as he looked down at the kids.
James just opened his eyes as he continued. "To denounce the evils of truth and love," James added, smirking at Ash and the others.
James just gave a bigger smile at Ash and the others. "To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie, James." The two said with an evil grin on their faces.
Once Jessie had said her part, not seeing the frowns that Naruto and Sakura had on their faces as she was too busy. "Team Rocket blast of at the speed of light." The redhead said as the motto was almost finished.
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Meowth, that's right!" Meowth said with a grin as he jumped in front of the two.
Once the three finished their motto, Naruto just gave a deep sigh at them. "You three are getting boring." He said, looking at them with a bored look on his face.
Sakura just nodded at what Naruto said. "I have to agree with Naruto on this one. You guys are redundant on repeating that motto of yours," Sakura said to the three criminals.
However, the three just laughed at the kids. "You're just all upset that we won't let you join us," Jessie said with a wicked smiled on her face, but she looked over at Naruto and Sakura. "But, I'm sure that our boss would like it if you two joined our ranks." She said to the two ninjas, who looked at the trio with shock and horror on their faces.
James just nodded at what Jessie had said to the two ninjas as, like Jessie, he too was giving off an evil smile. "She's right, you know, with what you two can do, we shall take over the whole world," James said at the two ninjas who just looked on in both shock and fear.
Both Naruto and Sakura just glanced at the two, knowing very well that they would never help Team Rocket. "There's no way that we will ever help the likes of you, Team Rocket! So you might as well forget it!" Sakura yelled in anger at the three.
Naruto only nodded at this agreeing with Sakura. "Sakura-chan is right. We're never going to help you!"
"After all, look at what you've done to all the Pokémon that live here. They're all confused from the lights that you three put up," Brock said to the three, who just smiled evilly at what he said to them.
"Oh, really well, that's such a shame," Jessie said as all she did was laugh at what Brock told her, not caring about the Pokémon.
"Yeah, how will we ever live with ourselves?" James asked mockingly at the young trainers.
"So, what is it that the three of you want this time?" Misty asked the three Team Rocket members knowing that it would help to understand what they wanted to stop the three from succeeding.
Meowth just smiled at her and decided to tell them. "You see, we're after the Moon Stone to power up our Pokémon with it."
Jessie only nodded as she looked at the two, ensuring they didn't try anything like last time. "With the Moon Stone in our hands, nothing will stop us." She said as she started to smile even more as she looked over to where Clefairy was.
All Ash could do was glare at the three. "There's no way that we're going to let you three do this!" Ash yelled while clenching his fists in anger.
"If you want a rock, then take one of these's, then go away," Brock said as he pointed with his left arm at all the rocks around the cave.
The two just snorted and the older boy and what he said to them. "How rude of you. You need to learn respect, boy," James said as he looked down at Brock.
Jessie just nodded at what her teammate said but just smiled. "Yes, maybe we should teach him a lesson." She said with a smile as they throw their tools to the ground.
Ash, Brock, and Naruto each took out their Poké Balls, and all three males looked over to where Misty and Sakura were standing. "Misty, Sakura, you two keep an eye on Seymour and Clefairy and try to make a run for it if you can," Ash said to the two girls.
The two girls nodded, knowing what they had to do, even if they didn't want to leave their friends to face Team Rocket alone. "Ready or not, here we come," Jessie called to the three as she took out her Poké Ball, as did James.
"Butterfree, come on out," Ash called, throwing his Pokéball in the air.
On the other hand, Naruto looked back at Misty and Sakura and nodded at them both. "Here it goes, Spearow, come on out!" He called as all their Pokémon came out, and to Ash's shock, Brock had a Zubat on his team.
"Wow, it's a Zubat; when did you get it?" Ash asked.
Brock, on the other hand, just smiled over at Ash. "I captured it just before I entered the cave." He said with a grin.
Ash, on the other hand, just gave a deep sad sigh at hearing this. "Oh, I should have caught one as well," Ash said as he lowered his head and closed his eyes.
"It's alright, Ash, you might still get some new Pokémon," Naruto said to Ash with a smile.
On the other hand, James just gave Koffing an attack to use on the twerp's Pokémon. "Koffing, use smog attack on them," James said with a smile as Koffing went towards the three Pokémon, as green gas started coming out.
Seeing the smog getting closer to both humans and Pokémon, Ash knew he had to think of something fast. "Butterfree, use Whirlwind on the smog," Ash said, as Butterfree just did what Ash told him to do.
Brock, on the other hand, gave his Pokémon a command too. "Zubat, go and help Butterfree out!" Brock yelled, worried that Ash's Pokémon would get tag teamed.
"Come on, Spearow, help out with Peck and use it on Ekans," Naruto ordered as Spearow just went charging towards Ekans.
The deadly smoke slowly got pushed towards Team Rocket, who couldn't see what was happening before them, and they started coughing. However, this also gave Misty and Sakura a chance they needed to get Seymour and Clefairy out of here before things could get a little too deadly for them.
"Come on, now's our chance," Misty said as both she and Sakura pushed Seymour out the way.
However, out from the smog, quickly, Ekans grabbed Butterfree in its mouth while also bashing Spearow away with its tail, which just crashed into some rocks. Koffing, on the other hand, just Tackled Zubat, sending it back a few feet away, and Ash, Naruto, and Brock could see Team Rocket were smiling at this.
"Come on, Spearow, hang in there," Naruto said while both Ash and Brock were helping their Pokémon make sure that nothing terrible happened to them.
The three didn't see that Meowth was sneaking behind them since Meowth knew he could move unnoticed by the three.
"Spearow hurry and free Butterfree by using Peck on Ekans!" Naruto called while Spearow used Peck on Ekans's head to free Butterfree from the snake's mouth.
Ash just looked over at Naruto and smiled at his friend. "Thanks, Naruto," Ash said with a smile, happy that Butterfree would be okay.
Brock, on the other hand, saw that Koffing and Ekans were right next to each other. "Alright, Zubat use Supersonic on them," Brock ordered.
With that said, Zubat used its Supersonic on the two poison types. Pokémon just looked up at Zubat, and both heard its Supersonic noise as the two soon attacked each other. With Ekans wrapped around Koffing, said Pokémon just realized even more smoke from its round body.
All Team Rocket could do was watch on as both attacking each other. "Ekans, Koffing, what's wrong with you!" Both Jessie and James yelled at their two Pokémon, who just continued to attack each other.
On the other hand, Brock just smiled, knowing that what he planned had worked just the way he wanted it to, which made him smile. "Alright, it worked; they're too confused right now," Brock said as he just smiled at the two as he smiled even more.
"Alright, Ash, it's all on you now, so go for it," Naruto said with a fox-like grin.
Ash just nodded and looked over at Team Rocket and smiled even more. "Alright, Butterfree, use Whirlwind and blow them out of the cave," Ash said.
With a cry, Butterfree used its Whirlwind on both Koffing and Ekans, who were still confused from Zubat's Supersonic, were both sent flying right into Team Rocket with a crash too. With that, Team Rocket and their two Pokémon were then quickly sent flying out of the cave. "This is not the last you've seen of us."
Once they were gone, the three just looked at each other with smiles on each of their faces. "Alright, we did it!" Naruto yelled with a grin on his face as he pumped his fist in the air.
Ash just nodded, but soon the three noticed that one member was missing from the trio. "Wait a minute, where's Meowth? I didn't see him go with the other two?" Ash asked, and Brock looked around for him but with no luck at all.
Meanwhile, Clefairy had quickly made it outside by getting out through a small hole on the side of Mt Moon, with a river just below them. Once Clefairy was out, Misty and Sakura followed the pink Pokémon with Seymour right behind the two girls. The three humans had a hard time getting out of the opening but soon managed to get out.
"Come on, Misty, we need to help Clefairy," Sakura said, taking Misty's hand as she helped her out of the cave and done that same for Seymour.
Clefairy, on the other hand, just kept on moving, not knowing that Meowth was close by to her. All Clefairy did was hope up onto the rocks of Mt Moon. "Clefairy, wait up, we want to help," Misty called, a little worried for the Pokémon, as she climbed after it along with Sakura.
As the two girls climbed after Clefairy, both girls knew that this was getting very dangerous now and even more with Misty, who would be hurt if she fell off. Sakura just looked behind her to see how Misty was doing, as Sakura made sure she was ready to use her Chakra if anything happened. "Be careful Misty, it's not safe," Sakura said as she looked down at Seymour, who was about to follow them as well. "Stay down there, Seymour. Let me and Misty handle this!" Sakura yelled up from the rocks as she and Misty both looked back to see where Clefairy was.
Clefairy, on the other hand, had reached the top, which had an overhead pass, yet Meowth was ready and waiting for her with a smile on his face. "Meowth got you now." He said, smirking at Clefairy.
All Clefairy could do was let out a cry in fear as she had no other choice but to jump off the overpass, only to hit both Misty and Sakura, who fell into the river while Meowth just dropped down as well only he landed on a rock eyeing Clefairy. "Now give me that Moon Stone, twerps before I get real mad and nasty." He said, grinning at the two girls while also keeping an eye on Clefairy.
Both girls just looked over at Meowth, who had his claws ready to attack both girls and Clefairy and even Seymour, the latter of whom tried to reason with the cat. "Now, Meowth, I'm sure we can just talk about this," He said, waving his hands in the air.
All Meowth did was smile at the three. "No, we can't, so give me that Moon Stone!" He yelled as he went right for Clefairy.
Misty saw this and did the only thing that she could think that would protect Clefairy, and that was using her whole body as a shield Clefairy on the other hand, just looked up at Misty in shock. Misty soon felt Meowth scratch her back, and all she was now screaming in pain as his claws hit her bearskin, leaving a mark that was even bleeding. "Are you alright, Clefairy?" Misty asked out of concern for the Pokémon.
When Sakura saw this happen to her friend, she ran over to her to see how bad the scratch was and saw it was not too bad either. "Misty, are you okay?" She asked as she looked at the minor wound on her back.
Meowth couldn't help but laugh a little at how the redhead was hurt but knew that it would also teach her a lesson not to get in Team Rocket's way. "You see what happens when you don't do what we ask," Meowth said as he looked over at both Misty and Sakura.
Once Meowth Said this to the two, Sakura looked over at Meowth with a glare in her eyes and slowly reached for her Poké Ball. "Oh, I don't think so, Meowth!" Sakura yelled in anger as Misty just looked at the girl.
As Sakura throws her Poké Ball into the air as a flash of white light came Butterfree, while Meowth just looked over at Sakura and laughed at the Kunoichi as well as her Butterfree too. "Oh come on, you think that some bug is going stop Meowth, I may have lost to it as a little Caterpie, but that was then, and this is now, Meowth said with a grin at Sakura, knowing that he would make sure not to lose again.
However, all Sakura did was smirk at Meowth, something that Misty and Seymour saw and knew that Sakura was up to something just from how she was smiling. "Oh, I don't think so Meowth me, and Butterfree are a team, just like all my friends," Sakura told Meowth with a smile, Misty already knew who her friend was talking about, and she also knew just by looking at Sakura's face that the pink-haired girl was right.
After all, the five of them did work well with each other sure, she and Ash fought at times, but they weren't attacking each other at least. And Misty knew that no matter what, they would stop Team Rocket from what they were up to no matter what and help whoever they attacked.
Hearing this, all Meowth did was scoff at Sakura's words, not caring what she had to say or on the teamwork she and her friends had. "Like I care what you think, girl, we are Team Rock and shall rule the world," Meowth said as he jumped in the air claws even ready and heading right at Sakura and Misty, including Clefairy, who just continued to hold onto the Moon Stone in her tiny ping hands.
As this happened, Sakura continued smiling, which confused Misty a little at what her friend was planning. "Alright, Butterfree, now it's time to use Confusion on Meowth!" Sakura called with a smile on her face.
Butterfree just nodded her head as she used her Confusion attack to stop Meowth right where he was, and that was in mid-air too. Meowth was now unable to move any part of his body no matter how hard he tried. Meowth was as good as stuck; the only way part of his body Meowth could move was his mouth and eyes, which he used to look at the two girls with a deep scowl.
"You better let me go, you twerppets!" Meowth yelled at the two girls who just smiled at the cat; this was more so with Sakura, who was now looking over at Misty, making sure that she and Clefairy were both alright.
Sakura then just looked over at Meowth. "I don't think so; this is for hurting Misty and for doing it to Ash as well; heck, Tora is better than you, but not by much," Sakura said, remembering the demon cat that she and her Team had to get a few times.
"Alright, Butterfree, it's time to use Whirlwind on Meowth and blow in far away from here," Sakura said with a grin on her face.
Butterfree just nodded as she started to flap her wings while still keeping Meowth in the air with its Confusion attack so that the cat couldn't try and get away or attack anyone else. Then, seeing her chance and without even waiting anymore, Sakura's Butterfree used Whirlwind on Meowth, making the cat spin on the stop Butterfree had him in.
On the other hand, Meowth was starting to feel sick from all the spinning that was going on with Butterfree's Whirlwind, and before long, Meowth was spinning so fast that anyone watching could hardly see him anymore, just a spinning blur.
Sakura just smiled while looking over at Misty and nodded at her, which Misty just returned knowing what Sakura was planning? "Alright, Butterfree, let Meowth go from your Confusion." She said with a giggle in her voice
Meowth even knew this and was not impressed, but the two girls couldn't tell this, thanks to the spinning. "Don't even think about it, girl!" Meowth yelled to Sakura, who just smiled as she nodded to Butterfree.
Once no longer trapped in Butterfree's Confusion, Meowth was then quickly sent flying right into the air, and thanks to being held in place, it only made it all the more, faster too. On the other hand, Misty and Sakura watched as Meowth went into the sky and disappeared with a ping that the three humans saw.
With Meowth now dealt with, Sakura turned back to see how Misty was doing. "Misty, let me see how your back is?" Sakura asked as she looked at the redhead's back and saw three claw marks. "Well, it doesn't look that bad, Misty, but it will hurt for a while," Sakura explained to her friend.
Misty merely smiled at Sakura as she stood to her feet while Sakura returned Butterfree to her Poké Ball. "Thanks, Sakura; I'm okay." She said as Misty then went looking over at Clefairy. "What about you, Clefairy?" Misty asked with a kind smile.
Still shocked that this human saved her and was hurt saving her, all Clefairy did was nod her little head at Misty. Both girls just smiled at this, happy Clefairy was alright and not harmed by Meowth before the three could say anything else. Ash, Naruto, and Brock came running over to the three.
"Misty, Sakura-chan, are you two okay? What about you, Seymour?" Naruto asked as he ran over towards the two girls while Ash and Brock ran over to Seymour.
All three just smiled at the three boys and nodded. "Yeah, we just dealt with Meowth," Misty said as she couldn't help but laugh at what Sakura had done to Meowth.
On the other hand, the three boys looked over at the two, a little confused at what they found so funny, yet the three just shook it off and made their way towards the river. "I'll help you out, Sakura-chan," Naruto said, giving her his hand while Sakura just smiled at Naruto as she knew he still acted like a goofball.
"Thanks, Naruto," Sakura said with a smile as Naruto pulled her out, all the while he just smiled at her.
Ash was the next as he held out his right hand towards Misty, who grabbed it with her left. However, when Ash did this, he saw the scratch mark on her back that Meowth gave her and wondered what happened. "Misty, what happened to your back?" Ash asked with a worried look on his face, and Misty could tell by the tone of his voice.
However, Misty looked over at Ash with a smile, not wanting Ash to worry about what Meowth had done to her. "It's alright, Ash, it doesn't hurt that much anymore," Misty said with a smile as she walked over to Sakura but was in deep thinking. "Who knew Ash could be sweet when he wants to be."
Ash just nodded at what Misty said, but he was still worried about who did this to her, but he would leave it for now, but he did have a good idea on just who did this to her, just from looking at the three marks on her back.
Ash knew that it was most likely Meowth who had hurt Misty since he had been scratched by the cat as well, only he had it done on the face by the cat; he was now a little mad that Meowth had hurt Misty but was also happy that Sakura had at least taught the cat a lesson.
Later that day, the sun had begun setting down. Ash and the others were all sitting around and eating as well as talking to each other. On the other hand, Brock was now preparing some food for the Pokémon, which he; himself made just for Pokémon.
"What's that, Brock?" Ash asked as he looked over to Brock, who was feeding his new Pokémon Zubat.
Brock just smiled at Ash as he started to tell Ash what it was. "This is Pokémon food; it's my secret recipe," Brock said to then while still feeding Zubat while both Ash and Seymour just listened to him.
Next to Ash was his Butterfree, with the bug type happily sitting down on a rock, eating some of the Pokémon food Brock had made. Misty was also sitting on a rock just away from the boys with Sakura next to her. The two girls watched what Ash and Brock were doing, while Naruto wanted to keep watch and make sure Team Rocket wouldn't show up.
On the other hand, Brock told them more about the Pokémon food he created and how it's specifically made for each Pokémon's health in mind, as Ash handed some more to his Butterfree.
"So, how does it taste?" Ash asked as he just looked at the brown piece of food,
"Well, I have been working on it for a few years, and I keep on improving on it," Brock said to Ash, feeding more to Zubat.
Seymour, on the other hand, also wondered what the Pokémon food tasted like looking at Brock. "I'll try some," Seymour said as he took some of the Pokémon food from Brock and ate it with a smile on his face. "Hmm, I must say it's not that bad." He said as the others just watched him.
When Ash heard this, he wanted to see what the food tasted like and if it were any good as Seymour said it was, while both Sakura and Misty just watched Ash, hoping he wouldn't eat it. "Ash, you're not going to eat that, are you?" Sakura asked, a little worried at seeing this.
It was a little too late since Ash had already placed it into his mouth, and once he did this, Ash felt a little ill, not even enjoying the taste of it, something that everyone saw while Misty couldn't help but giggle at this.
On the other hand, Brock looked over at Ash, worried that is was going to be sick. "Well, you may not like it, but the Pokémon do.
While this was going on, Pikachu and Clefairy were both on a rock talking about something while the six humans just watched the two Pokémon talking to each other. "Pikachu makes friends so easy I wonder what they are even talking about." Ash just asked as he smiled, never taking his eyes away from the two.
Once Ash said this, the two Pokémon looked down at the humans, who all wondered what they wanted. "Huh, what's going on?" Naruto asked as he saw the two Pokémon running off, but Naruto and the others just went after the two Pokémon.
They knew that Pikachu and Clefairy were leading them somewhere to show them something they needed to see. They were confident that the only question on their minds right now was where the two Pokémon are going and what it was that they wanted them to see.
After twenty minutes of none stop running, the group was amazed to find another entrance to the cave of Mt Moon. "Look, it's another way into MT Moon. I wonder why Pikachu and Clefairy are showing us this." Ash wondered as he just kept following his Pokémon.
Sakura found many herbs that she decided to pick up, thinking that they might be helpful as Sakura knew that she could use them to help her friends and Pokémon if they were ever hurt? "Sakura, we need to keep up," Misty said to her friend, but she also knew why Sakura was doing this. So the pink-haired girl just nodded as she picked up a few more before placing them in her bag and began to run after the rest of her friends using her Chakra on her feet.
Once the group got into the cave, they were shocked to find a large room with a giant glowing white and blue meteor in the middle with the Moon shining down on it. It's also surrounded by a massive amount of Clefairy's, all of who were dancing around it. Ash and the others knew what they were all looking at was none other than the Moon Stone.
"Wow..." Sakura and Misty said in unison that both girls were quickly taken in by the beauty of the room and the Moon Stone they could see.
"It's the Moon Stone..." Seymour said in awe; he was happy that he had finally reached his life goal. He had always said that he would see the Moon Stone one day, and here it was, sitting right before his very own eyes.
"Wow, I guess the legends about the Moon Stone are true," Brock said, amazed at the sheer size of the Moon Stone; he had known that if it were real, it would be big, just not this big.
It was then Ash, looked over at Clefairy. "Hey, look, Clefairy's doing something," Ash said as he, along with all his friends, looked over at the Pokémon.
Everyone stared at the little Clefairy that they had saved, hopping over to the center of the room and placed the blue-white stone with a bunch of others that were all sitting around the massive meteor, causing the Moon Stones to glow a bright shade of blue.
Seeing the ring of stones was finally glowing, all the Clefairys quickly gathered around the meteor before turning around to look at the group. One of the Clefairys stepped out of the mass and started speaking; it was the same one that they had helped.
"Clefairy Clefairy, Clefairy." It said, bowing to them to try and thank them for all the help they had given it.
"Hey, I think it's trying to say thank you," Misty said, causing everyone to nod, agreeing with her.
When the group bowed back, the Clefairy started dancing around the meteor, hopping up and down together, going around it clockwise, and going counter-clockwise, and with all of them singing Clefairy.'
"Wow! Look at them!" Misty said, watching them dance.
"Amazing, they must have formed their little society; this is an incredible sight," Seymour said, amazed at the Clefairys.
"Pika!" Pikachu said, running over to them, having just finished talking to the Clefairy they had helped.
"What is it, Pikachu?" Ash asked, kneeling to talk to his yellow friend.
"You understand that?" Seymour asked, causing Ash to look at him.
All Ash did was smile at Seymour. "Sure I do. It's my Pokémon after all," Ash said with a smile on his face.
It was then Ash told Seymour what Pikachu was saying to him. "The Clefairy collect the Moonstone and the mockeraina." Ash said, while Pikachu just fell to the ground at what Ash had said, making an 'X' with his arms telling Ash that he was wrong.
Just then, Pikachu went off and dragged Clefairy over to them, who was a little shocked at this. Pikachu then picked up Clefairy while the others were trying to work out what Pikachu was telling them.
After a few more tries, Pikachu just pulled out one of Ash's hairs from his head. "I know the Clefairy pray to the Moon Stone," Naruto said with a fox-like grin while Sakura looked over at Naruto, a little shocked he was the one to work it out.
"Maybe it's because the moonstone fell from the heavens..." Seymour said, looking up at the ceiling for the first time, finding that there was none. There was no roof. The top of the cave was just an open hole with the Moon shining down on them from the night sky above.
"Wow." they all said, looking up at the ceiling as well.
"Maybe the legends are true!" Misty said, remembering what Brock told them about it.
"Oh! It makes perfect sense!" Seymour said, jumping about happily.
"Huh? What does?" Sakura asked, confused, hoping she wasn't going to have to listen to more poems again. Sadly, she did.
"Outer space, Pokémon and the human race will ride the Moon stone into space, first to the moon, then to mars, then together to the stars!" He said happily, not realizing that Ash was trying very hard not to order Pikachu to fry him; he really could stand his poems.
Even Naruto and Sakura did not like this as well, with both ninjas wanting to leave. "Man, I wish we could use our Chakra to block our hearing from all his poems," Naruto said as he whispered to Sakura, who just nodded at him.
"I know Naruto, but there's nothing we can do but hope he stops soon," Sakura said, thinking how bad this was. "Man, this is just as bad as Lee trying to ask me out for a date." She thought to herself with a deep sigh. "I'm happy; Naruto stopped Lee from doing so," Sakura thought as she giggled a little at the thought, while Naruto just smiled as he liked it when he heard her giggle and even laugh.
"Stars, that's our cue!" The unmistakable voice of Meowth said, coming from behind them.
All Naruto could do was sigh next as he looked over at the three. "Don't you three ever give up. I mean, how many times have we beat you now?" Naruto asked the three as he smiled at them.
"You keep away from the moonstone, or else!" Seymour said, trying to block their way, not realizing that they weren't planning on coming in any further.
"Or else what?" Jessie said, grabbing Ekans Poké Ball.
"Hey? What's that sound?" James asked, causing Jessie and Meowth to stop and listen as well.
There was a strange rattling sound coming from somewhere in the room. It sounded like bone knocking against bone. The three Team Rocket members started to look around for the source of this sound before stopping to look at Seymour.
"It's his knees!" Meowth said, falling to the floor and rolling around while laughing.
"His knees are shaking!" Jessie said, adding her laughter to the mix, trying not to fall over like Meowth.
"And he was threatening us? You're joking!" James said, causing Ash, Naruto, Sakura, Brock, and Misty to glare at them.
"We'll show you!" Sakura said, grabbing her Butterfree's Poké Ball and throwing it, seeing this Ash called out his own as well.
Naruto did the same by calling out Eevee. "Alright, now get ready, Mass shadow clone Jutsu!" Naruto, as another fifty Naruto's popped in with a poof of smoke. "Alright, make sure the clowns don't get the Moon Stone," Naruto said to his clones, who all nodded at what they had to do while the other gave a yell.
Brock grabbed one of his Poké Balls and threw it as well, smiling when Onix filled the room, blocking Team Rocket from getting anywhere near the Moonstone.
"Let's show them that size doesn't matter! Ekans! Dive underground!" Jessie shouted.
"Koffing, Smokescreen!" James ordered.
Ekans quickly burrowed underground as Koffing started to fill the place with a dark cloud of smoke, obscuring everyone's view. Along with his friends and Pokémon, Ash soon started coughing and hacking on the smoke, unable to breathe properly, thanks to the toxic gas.
"Pidgeotto!" Ash coughed, grabbing Pidgeotto's Poké Ball and throwing it."Pidgeotto Whirlwind, the smoke away!" He shouted, causing the large bird Pokémon to disperse the dark smoke with a large gust of air.
When the smoke cleared, everyone was shocked to find that the meteor that had filled the center of the room was now gone, leaving a giant hole in the middle of the cave floor.
"Ah! The Moonstone, it's gone!" Naruto shouted, running over to the whole.
"Team Rocket's gone too!" Brock said, looking around for the three troublemakers, only to find they were nowhere in sight.
Naruto and Sakura, on the other hand, looked down the hole where the Moonstone used to be, as both ninjas already knew that Team Rocket had dug a hole so deep that they were both unable to see the bottom of it.
"The smokescreen was just a trick! They used it to keep us from seeing what was happening!" Sakura shouted in anger punching the stone wall, which cracked a little. "They used it to keep us from seeing what was going on," Sakura said, heading for the exit to chase after Team Rocket with Naruto and Ash.
"Where are you three going?!" Misty shouted as she went after the three.
"We have to stop them from getting away!" Naruto shouted, knowing they had little time left to catch up to them.
"Right, Onix, follow them underground!" Brock said, leaving to follow the others as Onix did as he did as ordered.
"Fine, come on, guys! Let's go to!" Misty said, speaking to Pidgeotto, Butterfree, and Pikachu, who Ash had accidentally left behind in her hurry to catch up to Team Rocket.
Seymour stayed behind, still shocked at what had just happened. But Seymour wanted to help the Clefairys since he needed to let them know about the Moonstone and how important the Moon Stone is to them. "The Moon Stone means a lot to you guys, doesn't it?" He asked, looking around at all of them as they just stood there. "It's sacred to you, isn't it? That means you have to get it back. Do you understand?" He said, hoping that they understood him, though he knew that it wasn't likely.
All the Clefairy did was node as soon the same one that helped her, soon started to talk to the other Clefairys coming up with a plan to get the Moonstone back. When the Clefairys had finished talking, they all jumped into the giant hole, one of them dragging Seymour along. They were all going to get the Moonstone back, and there was no way that Team Rocket would get away with this.
Meanwhile, Ash and the others were all caught up to Naruto and Sakura; they knew that Team Rocket was close, but it was still a hard run for the three; being on a sloped hill was not suitable for running at all.
When the group finally saw Team Rocket up ahead, they were shocked and happy to see that Onix had stopped them from getting away anymore. "Good job, Onix, now don't let them get away!" Brock ordered as the group neared Team Rocket.
"Koffing, Counter Attack!" James shouted, hoping that it would stop the giant rock Pokémon.
It was then that both Pokémon smashed into each other, knocking each other unconscious and then falling to the ground right in front of the hole that Onix had exited.
"Hey! It's Seymour!" Ash shouted, causing Brock to look up from his search, only to stare in confusion as Seymour and many Clefairys jumped out of the large hole that Onix had created.
"Huh? What's going on?" Misty called over to Seymour, wondering why they were here.
"The Clefairys came to get their moonstone back." He said, watching as the Clefairy started gathering around Team Rocket.
The Clefairy had formed a circle around Team Rocket and looked up at them with a strange expression on their faces. "Meowth, what's going on?" Meowth said, confused at all the looks they were getting from the Clefairy.
"I don't know," James stated as he looked at all the Clefairy that were around them.
"Well, don't just stand there! Do something!" Jessie shouted, clearly aiming her comment at Meowth, though it seemed that the Clefairys thought she had been speaking to them.
At Jessie's statement, the Clefairys started to wave their fingers in the air, back and forth, back and forth. While they waved their fingers, they started chanting 'Clefairy, Clefairy.' over and over again.
"Now, what are they doing?" Jessie asked, looking at the Clefairy.
"Well, waving their fingers, from the looks of it," James said as his head followed their fingers along with Jessie Meowth and Ekans, also unable to look away.
"You are right, James, this way and that way, this way and that way," Meowth said with his eyes going wide at the site.
Even Ash and his friends were moving their heads from side to side, just like Team Rocket. "I'm getting dizzy," Misty said, saying each word syllable.
"This is an attack the Clefairy use called the Metronome. I have never seen the Clefairy use the Metronome used before. Anything can happen when you use the Metronome," Seymour said, saying each syllable as though it was its word while moving his head from side to side to the movements of the Clefairy's fingers.
At the end of his statement, the Clefairy stopped waving their fingers, and the ground under Team Rocket lit up with a bright white light that seemed to grow by the millisecond.
When the light seemed to have reached its peak, the ground under Team Rocket exploded, sending them flying high into the heavens.
"Looks like we're blasting off again!" They shouted in unison as they disappeared into the sky, making it seem as though a new star was born.
The blast from the explosion hadn't been all good, though; it had done a lot of damage. The moonstone meteor that the Clefairy had been trying to protect had sadly been destroyed in the explosion sending thousands of tiny shards into the air. The blast had also caught some of the Clefairy, sending several of them flying into the air, one of which was the same Clefairy that they had helped out earlier that day who cried out in fear.
When Misty saw Clefairy get caught within the explosion, she imitatively took off running in the direction that she seemed to be going in and grabbed her before she could hit the ground.
"Are you okay?" She asked, looking down at her, checking her over for any injuries. She had been fortunate she didn't seem to have any. Misty set Clefairy down and walked over to the group with Clefairy beside her.
As she and Clefairy approached the group, the tiny shards of Moon Stone began floating down on top of them as they started to glow a bright blue-white, causing them to stare in wonder. It was as if the stars themselves were floating down around them. When the shards started to touch the Clefairys, soon, some of the Clefairys started to glow, signaling that it was time for them to evolve.
"Wow, they're evolving," Misty whispered as she and Clefairy finally reached Ash and the others.
Brock, Misty, Ash, Naruto, Sakura, and their Pokémon all watched as more and more Clefairys evolved one after another.
"Cle-fable." one said as it slowly began to grow and change into its evolved form.
"Wow, they all look so amazing," Sakura said, taking out her Pokédex.
"Clefable, the Fairy Pokémon. When Clefairy evolves into Clefable, its wings, ears, and tail grow bigger, though it doesn't get the ability to fly. These unique creatures are among the rarest Pokémon in the world," Sakura's Pokédex said.
"Wow, look at them all," Ash said, staring around in wonder. He had never even heard of a mass evolution before, and he was pretty sure that most people hadn't seen one either.
"There's so many of them," Brock stated, just as shocked as Misty and Ash were, but only half as amazed as Seymour seemed to be.
"This must be from the power of the moonstone..." Naruto said, still staring at all of the Clefables.
When the Clefairys finished evolving into Clefables, and the Moon Stone shards had stopped falling, the remaining Clefairys and the Clefables all lead everyone back to the cave to continue their festival.
Naruto and Sakura just smiled at the sight, hearing the Clefairys and the Clefables all started singing as the blonde Ninja just smiled at Sakura. "Um Sakura-chan, do you want to um dance?" Naruto asked, blushing a little.
At first, Sakura wanted to say no, but Sakura soon looked at Naruto and noticed a blush on his face. "Alright, Naruto, just this once since it's a nice night," Sakura said, taking hold of Naruto's hand as the two danced to the singing Pokémon long into the night as their friends just watched with Misty even smiling.
Misty watched the Pikachu and the same Clefairy they had helped earlier dancing in the festival together, smiling at them happily. Then, when the festival was almost over, Seymour decided that he now wanted to tell the others something.
"I've decided to stay and live here with the Clefairys and the Clefables," He said, causing the small group to look away from the dancing Pokémon and at him instead.
Naruto was confused at this as he just looked at the other, who was smiling. "I thought he already lived in the cave," Naruto thought confusedly.
"It's been my life's dream to find the Moon Stone," He continued, smiling at them before Seymour looked at the Clefairy. "I want to stay here and one day travel to space with the Clefairy."
"Well, when you get to space, remember to send us a postcard," Brock said jokingly, rubbing the back of his head.
After a few more minutes of talking, the group turned their attention back to the Clefairys and Clefables, watching as they continued their strange dance.
Early the next morning, the group decided to head out, waving goodbye to the Clefairy.
"So long, Seymour! Goodbye, Clefairy!" Ash shouted. "We'll see you again someday!"
"Goodbye, guys! I hope we do meet again someday, and thank you all for everything!" the scientist shouted, waving with the Clefairy as Ash, Sakura, Brock, Naruto, Pikachu, and Misty walked off down the road.
"Do you think the legend about the Clefairys is true?" Sakura asked when the cave was no longer in view.
"It's fun to think so, Sakura," Misty said, smiling at her. "But hey, you had fun dancing with Naruto last night from what I saw," Misty said as she just looked at the pink-haired girl with a smile, while Sakura just laughed lightly at this but didn't want to say anything.
"Clefairy!" The group all stopped and turned around, shocked that the Clefairy they had helped had followed them.
When Clefairy noticed they had stopped, she ran up to Misty and jumped into her arms, holding on to her. Clefairy then just looked up at Misty in the eyes and smiled at the orange-haired girl. "Clefairy." She said while Misty was still shocked at this.
Sakura, on the other hand, just smiled at her female friend. "I think that Clefairy wants' to go with you, Misty," Sakura said as she still smiled at her.
"Is that true, Clefairy?" Misty asked the fairy Pokémon, who just nodded at her.
Misty just smiled at Clefairy as she grabbed one of her empty Poké Balls and used it on the Pokémon that wanted to go with her. When Clefairy was safely in the Poké Ball, Misty just gave a warm smile before going into Ash's victory pose.
"Alright, I caught a Clefairy!" Misty yelled with a grin as she held the Poké Ball with Clefairy in it with her right hand while making a peace sign with her other hand.
On the other hand, Ash was not happy at seeing this but was delighted that Misty had a new Pokémon. "Hey, no fair Misty, that's copying me," Ash said while all Misty did was look over at Ash and stuck her tongue out at him.
The other three couldn't help but laugh at this but knew that they had to get moving. "Alright, come on, you two, at this rate, it will take us all day to reach the next town," Brock said at the two as Ash and Misty looked over at their friends and nodded.
The group continued to walk for a few more hours until they reached the fork in the road but wondered which direction they headed. "This way leads to Cerulean City," Ash said out loud so the others could hear, while all the boys failed to see the look on Misty's face, but Sakura, on the other hand, did something that was worrying her.
"I never wanted to go back there again," Misty thought, wondering what she was going to do about this.
It was at this point that Naruto saw something else on the signpost. "Hey, something else is on here too," Naruto said as he went to take a closer look.
Ash, on the other hand, just smiled at Naruto. "Well, they say that kids like to write stuff down here," Ash explained to Naruto as he just smiled and opened his eyes. "So, what does it say?" Ash asked, as did the others, and what Ash saw only made him angry. 'Gray was here. Ash is a loser.'
"What loser, I'll show him!" Ash yelled as he ran off as fast as he could, and in anger, he wanted nothing more than to catch up with Gary while his friends ran after him.
Meanwhile, Team Rocket had landed far from Mt Moon, with all three members not happy at this loss. "I can't believe we lost to those brats again!" Jessie yelled, standing to her feet while James just nodded.
On the other hand, Meowth was smiling at this, not caring that they had lost again. "Oh well, that doesn't matter," he said while both Jessie and James were shocked at what Meowth had just said.
"What are you talking about, Meowth?" James asked, looking at the cat, trying to work out what he was getting at right now, while all Meowth did was smile even more.
"Well, you see, I managed to record everything that the whisker kid did, as I knew we might run into him again at Mt Moon. "Meowth said as he smiled, knowing what he can do with this.
Both Jessie and James couldn't help but wonder how Meowth had done this as they didn't see him with any camera. "Well, you see, I hid a camera on the two of you before we went back to Mt Moon for the Moon Stone, knowing that they would still be there," He told them, still smiling at the two humans.
Jessie and James began to smile at this as they saw Meowth take out the mini camera that had secretly placed on the two's uniforms. "With this, we can show it to the boss on what that kid can do." He said with a grin.
On the other hand, James realized something else about what they should do with the girl with pink hair. "What about that girl with Pink hair, Meowth?" James asked, smiling, while the cat smiled back.
"Well, for now, we shall leave her alone, but the most important thing is we give this to the boss so he can know about the kid," Meowth said while both Jessie and James nodded as all three left so that they could get in contact with their boss.
A/N well, another chapter is done. Yes, Misty has a new Pokémon too, as I thought since she had Togepi, she should at least get Clefairy to help now and then, so please don't be made, and yes Naruto and Sakura will be getting more Pokémon soon as well, and Kakuna will also evolve. And Yes, Team Rocket will be after Naruto and Sakura, but more so Naruto, so they will get more deadly soon. The next chapter will change a lot as I want it to focus on Misty and Sakura, and you will see why, as I don't want to say that much about it. Anyway, leave a review as it lets me know you like this story and what you think should happen and so on, so have a good day all.
And I hoped you all liked Naruto and Sakura dancing, and sorry if it was a little short, but there will be more little hints later on, alright, guys sorry I posted the wrong chapter last night don't know how that happened, but I was tired so sorry about that mistake.
Update I fully fixed this chapter on 31/07/21
