A few days ago

Announcer: A few days prior, a young girl gets ready for a trip to Pallet town. She dawns a hat along with a grayish-black tank-top with a white collar, a red skirt, a dark pink hat with a black hatband and bow and to finish it off she had on back stockings and shoes. She looked into her mirror and smiled at her look. "Looking good." she said to herself. Grabbing up her pink backpack she ran downstairs.

Her mother looked from the kitchen and gave a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness you're up. I thought I might have to send up Fletchling." she told her and went back to making breakfast. "Have everything you need? I hope you do." she told her daughter.

The girl came in smiling. "Of course I do. I know you did a good bit, but I had to sort a few things." she told her mother as she sat down. Her mother finished with breakfast and served the food. "Do you know what Pokemon you want? You know once you make the choice, you can't go back." she told her.

She swallowed a bite. "I think I have. Knowing it's between Squirtle, Bulbasaure and Charmander. My mind is pretty much made up." she told her mother.

"Then you best get a move on. Prof. Oak isn't going to wait all day." she responded to her.

"I'll see you there then. Pallet Town is a bit of a ways away." she finished. The girl grabbed her back pack and ran out the door and onto her bike. "SEE YOU SOON, MOM!" she shouted to her as she rode off.

Her mother watched her ride down the road smiling. Knowing later on, she'd be growing up on her journeys. Hopefully with friends. "Good luck, Serena." she said sincere way.

BE A HERO. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.

As Serena rode down the road she saw her neighbors as they worked. They saw her and waved as she returned it.

Announcer: After Serena's tenth birthday, she is on her way to the beginning on her first journey through Kanto. Little did she know, that on her journey, her life would change completely.

As she neared Pallet Town she saw quite a few Pokemon. Pidove that were resting on branches. Fletchender that scratched at the ground, hunting for worms. Zigzagoon ran around as Sentret hung by their tails from the tree limbs. She smiled at all the Pokemon she was seeing. That was till she exited the forest and saw a few other tress. Completely beyond them was Pallet Town.

She saw the town and its beauty. The landscape and houses along with how the sun shown on the town, making it seem brighter. Heading into the town she saw how it was. A small town with plenty of houses, a bit of land between each house. As she rode through she heard something. "THUNDERBOLT! GO!" someone commanded. She saw a big thunderbolt light in the distance and went to see what it was. "USE ICE PUNCH!" the same voice commanded.

As she neared..."USE IRON TAIL." the voice said. She arrived and looked. That's where she saw a raven haired trainer training his Pikachu. Looking at the opposing Pokemon she saw it was a Buizel. "NOW USE AQUA JET!" he said. Both did as commanded. Pikachu got above Buizel and hit him over the head. Buizel fell out of concentration and landed.

Serena looked in awe at the training. Then looked at the older boy, seeing he looked familiar. She couldn't put her finger on it, but realized she needed to get to Prof. Oaks lab. Riding down the road she looked around. Getting completely lost she sighed looking at the map. "Where is it? Supposed to be here." she said.

Riding around she ran into a gate. "Ow! Huh?" she looked and saw the lab. Looking surprised and confused she looked back at the map then to the lab. "Is this it?" she asked in bewilderment. She looked back at the map, needing to know. That was when a tall stranger came up. He had brownish-gray hair, black eyes, wearing a lab coat with a few pockets, khakis with a belt, a red shirt and brown shoes.

"May I help you?" he asked.

Serena looked up and saw the man. "Umm... are you Prof. Oak?" she asked.

"Yes, I am. Who are you?" he asked.

"My name's Serena. I come from..." "Yes, yes, I know. You're here for your starter. I'm glad you got here safe and sound. Now come on in if you will." he opened the gate and she went in, pushing her bike going up to the lab. "Two others have been here as well." he told her.

She looked to him while she walked behind, on the side. "Who else was here?" she asked.

They neared the lab. "One was a boy who came by not too long ago. Had black hair, a red hat..." "Was it the one who was training with his Pokemon?" Serena asked.

He looked at her, a bit confused; then realized it. "Oh! Who? Ash! Oh, no, no. You see, he's been on his journey for five years. Won the Orange League over a year after the Indigo Plateu. Then Johto through Sinnoh and the Battle Frontier." he told her as they got to the entrance and Serena put her bike on its kick stand.

"Wow! He's definitely some trainer then. How much further does he have?" she asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know!" a voice said. Serena looked up at the labs entrance and saw a girl with blue hair, red eyes, a dark blue tank top with a light blue shirt under it, with two white circles around the ends of them, a skirt with one white circle going around it at the rim and red shoes with white socks. Her rival, Miette, was there before she was.

Serena grew a red line across her face, seeing her rival, in anger. "Oh yes! Have you chosen your Pokemon?" Prof. Oak asked.

"I have! Now I'm off on my journey." she replied as she departed.

"Good luck to ya." Prof. Oak said as she left. He looked to Serena. "You aughta say the same thing. Even though you are both rivals." Prof. Oak said to her.

She continued watching her. "Why should I though?" she asked.

"Well, because it's the honorable thing to do. Not doing so will only strengthen your quarrel." he explained.

She looked at him then back to Miette as she went past the gates. "Good luck to you." she said.

Miette scoffed, not looking back. "Like I'll need that from you." she replied back and left.

Serena had a scrunched up nose, showing anger. "That's the thanks I get." she said.

"You both will become closer as trainers or coordinators." he told her as they went in. "Reminds me of Ash's rival with my grandson, Gary." he commented.

She looked up to him, a bit confused. "Ash and your grandson...?" she asked in confusion.

"Both fought till the end of their Jhoto journeys. Then they became close friends!" Oak explained.

She looked surprised, but kept quiet till she got inside. When they got upstairs they saw Tracey handling a Pkeball, by polishing it. "There we are. A Pokeball is just as important as the Pokemon itself." he commented. It was then he looked at Serena who was watching him still. "Oh! Hello there. You must be Serena. I must say it did take you a while to get here." he told her.

She looked a bit confused and looked at the Pokeball. "What's that to?" she asked then looked back at him. "What Pokemon starter does that belong to?" she asked.

Tracey looked to the Pokemon it belonged to. "That one, right there." he told her. She looked and saw it was a Squirtle, eating out of its bowl. "That's why. It's the only one that's left." he told her.

Squirtle looked at her after finishing its food. "Squirtle squirt squirt? (Is that my trainer?)" it asked.

Serena squatted near to the little Pokemon's height. "Hello there! I guess I'm your trainer." she said smiling, her eyes closed as she reached to pet it.

"SQUIRRTAAALLLLE! (AAAAAHHHHHH)" it said panicking as it ran off.

"Huh? Hey, wait!" she said as she chased after it.

"Hey! Wait!" Tracey said as he ran after her.

As Prof. Oak got up the stairs, he saw them. "Oh, hello. Everything going o...WHAOO!" he said as he panicked a bit. He saw Squirtle run downstairs as Serena chased after it. He looked to see Tracey run up, but stopped him. "Tracey, what's going on?" he asked.

"I don't know. All I know is that as soon as Serena reached to pet it, Squirtle just panicked." he told him.

"Probably not used to other people. Due to the fact it's been around us for a while." Prof. Oak said.

"I'll see what I can do." Tracey said and went after them. Prof. Oak about did the same thing till the video phone went off.

He went over to it and answered it. "Hello! Prof. Oak speaking." he answered.

Serena chased Squirtle downstairs and to the front entrance. "What is it Squirtle? Why are you running" she asked. It jumped to the door knob and opened the door, running outside. Now outside, Serena chased Squirtle still. "COME BACK SQUIRTLE." she called to it. Bulbasaur heard this and ran to the situation.

He saw Serena chasing Squirtle and used Vine Whip to stop her, thinking she was going to do something. "Bulb bulbasaur bulba bulba? (What do you think you're doing?)" he asked.

Serena struggled a bit in the Vine Whip then looked at Bulbasaur. "Hey! What are you doing?" Serena said to him.

Tracey came up and saw this. "Bulbasur! Don't worry. She's not here to do any harm. Please!" he said. Bulbasur put her down, gently, trusting Tracey. Tracey went up to her. "Sorry about that. Bulbasaur is the ambassador and protector here." Tracey explained.

Bulbasaur went up to Squirtle. "Saur saur bulbasaur bulba? (Why was she chasing you?)" he asked.

"Squirtle squirt squirt squirtle squirt. (It looked like she was going to grab me.)" the Pokemon said. "Squirtle squirtle squirt squirtle. (That and I don't know her.)" the Pokemon finished.

"You see, Bulbasaur, Squirtle is to be given to a trainer. She's the last one and so is this one." Tracey explained to him.

Bulbasaur listened, nodded and looked to Squirtle. "Saure bulbasaur bulba-saur. (She's your new trainer.)" he told Squirtle. The water type looked at her as she smiled at em.

"SQUIRTLE!" the Pokemon shouted as he ran into her arms.

She giggled, catching em. "Nice to meet you, little fella." she said.

It was then Prof. Oak came on up to them. "How's everything going?" he asked.

"Everything is fine. Asked Bulbasaur to do some explaining to Squirtle." he told the Prof.

He nodded as his eyes were closed and arms crossed. "Great to hear." he commented.

Serena got up with the Pokemon in her arms. "I've definitely got my Pokemon." she told them.

"Great! Head into the lab and I'll give you the items for your journey." he told her. She went to the lab as he looked at Tracy. "Someone called on the video phone. It was Misty, asking for you to drop by." he told him.

"Gee! I wonder why. I'll get my stuff together and head out, pronto." he told the Prof. and went into the lab.

Not too long after Prof. Oak puts his hands out to Serena, holding Pokeballs and a new Pokedex.

"These are your Pokeballs and Dex! The Pokedex will record the Pokemon you find. Primarily the ones you capture when you either scan the Dex over it or put the button on the sensor reader." he told her as she took them. "As you do this, it'll further my research. I know Ash and the others were to do so as well, but the more the merrier." he continued as he began to laugh.

"Great! I won't let you down. I'll catch as many to help you with your research." she told him and began to depart.

"Don't forget! Not only is capturing Pokemon important, so is befriending them. Get closer to your Pokemon by battles and bonding." he finished,

"Right! See ya." she ran right out the door and through the gateway. 'Finally! My very first journey with my first starter.' she thought as she ran down the road.

A few days later, Ash was going down the same pathway right after he caught Pidgeot's son. He passed by the same lake he was fished from. There were those feelings again when he thought of his old friend. He new he liked her, but this was something different. Like his feelings were about to... "AAAAHHHHHH!"

Pikachu's ears perked up as Ash looked into the direction of the scream. "Hear that buddy?" he asked.

"Pika pika. (I did.)" he replied.

"Let's go and see what's going on." he told him as he ran into the direction. Not too far away a girl was running away from a hoard of Beedrill.

They kept on her, gaining. "WHY? WHY? WHY? ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO IS CAPTURE A WEEDLE!" she said to herself. She saw her bike and smiled. Not even paying attention, she tripped and fell. That's when a Beedrill got on top of her. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"PIKACHU! THUNDERBOLT! LET'S GO!" a voice commanded.

"PIIIIIKAAAAA-CHHHUUUUUUU! (HEEERRRREEEEE IIII GOOOOOO!)" he exclaimed as he charged up and unleashed a powerful thunderbolt. The light from it glowed off her body as it hit the Beedrill and it retreated with the little strength it had left. Ash ran right up to the girl and kneeled down to her. She looked to see him.

"Hey! Are you okay?" he asked. She gave two slow nods after a few seconds, a light blush going across her nose. "That's good." he said with a smile.

That's when she saw the swarm and remembered. "BEEEEEDRIIIILLLLL!" she shouted as she pointed.

Ash looked at them then stood up, to block them. "PIKACHU!" Ash shouted.

"CHUUUUUUU! (AAAHHHHHHHH!)" another thunderbolt was unleashed and hit the swarm as well as her bike, frying it. They all retreated.

She was surprised at this, then remembering him. He was the same boy from a few days ago that was training. "Wow!" she exclaimed until Ash got her up by the wrist and ran from the spot.

"We gotta get outta here. Once they regain their strength, they'll be back." he told her. Pikachu followed behind. Not too long after they've stopped in a spot in the forest, panting. "That was fun." he commented as he looked in the direction they came from then back to her. "You okay, though?" he asked.

She looked to him. "Y-yeah! I'm fine." she replied as she patted hershirt then skirt.

"How'd that even happen, anyway?" he asked as well.

"Well...you see, I..." she sighed. "I was trying to catch a Weedle!" she told him. "I was just starting out on my journey and looking for my first Pokemon!" she told him.

Flash Back

Serena looks around for any kind of Pokemon to catch. "Come on! The sooner you find one, the sooner you can get moving." she said to herself.

"You see! I've been here for a few days." she told Ash. Her flash back self looks through bushes. "I wanted to catch a Pokemon before I got out of the woods. That was when I saw Weedle!" she said.

Her flash back self spots the Weedle from the bushes. It's nibbling on grass, facing away at an angle. "Nice. YOU'RE MINE!" she shouted as she threw her Pokeball.

Weedle looks and doesn't fully see the Pokeball in time. "Wee? (Huh?)" it asked in confusion as the ball hit it and withdrew it and shook.

Serena get up. "Yes! Gotcha!" she explained.

The ball shook some more and the Weedle popped back out. "Wee-dle! (Why you!)" it said and began to squirm off.

Serena watched it crawl away as she retrieved her Pokeball. "Awe man. Thought I had it." she said. Serena looked in the area it crawled to and it wasn't there. "Man! That bug is fast." she said.

"After a bit, I was still walking around to find a Pokemon. That's when I heard a buzzing sound." she told him.

Her flash back self looked in the direction of the sound and saw the hoard of Beedrill.

Then that's where I screamed and ran for it.

Flash Back Ends

"As you can tell, I'm not really good at capturing Pokemon!" she said, smiling with a nervous blush across her face and her hand rubbing the back of her head.

"You see, you just can't throw a ball. What you need to do is weaken it first." he told her.

"I do recall that. What happens when it faints? Will I still not be able to catch it?" she asked.

"You still can. There are many ways to catch a Pokemon. Let's help you to catch one." he told her. They went off into the woods to try and find her a Pokemon. Looking around the trees and through bushes. As they continue to look Serena spots another Weedle.

She gives off a smile. "Found one!" she said.

"Huh!" Ash exclaimed as he looked in her direction. "What'd you find?" he asked.

She grabbed Squirtles Pokeball, clicked the button to enlarge it. "Got this one." she said and threw the ball. "Come on out, Squirtle." she commanded.

The ball burst open in the air and unleashed a white light. It materialized still in the air and Squirtle appeared. "Squirtle! (Ready!)" it explained in a flying look then landed.

Ash came up from behind and saw this. "Careful not to let it get away. Battle it." he told her.

Serena gave off a nod. "Right." she said. Giving a stance she pointed. "Now, water gun." she commanded.

"Squirtle. (Here goes.)" it said and unleashed water from its mouth. It hit Weedle and it stumbled back.

"Giv it a tackle." she told Squirtle. Squirtle ran towards Weedle and hit it with a tackle, narrowly missing the stinger. "Another tackle." she told em. Squirtle hit the Weedle again. The Pokemon lunged forward with a tackle. Serena only watched as it went in again.

"Don't just stand there." Ash told her. She gasped a bit as she looked to Ash, coming out of a sort of trance. "Tell Squirtle to dodge." he informed her.

"Huh? Oh, right!" she looked back to Squirtle. "Dodge." she commanded. The Pokemon did and Weedle went to the side. "Now use Water Gun." she said. Squirtle did so and hit Weedle, giving it swirly eyes. "Alright. I did it." she said.

"Throw a Pokeball. It's weak enough." he told her.

"Oh...yeah." she replied and grabbed it, not clicking the button.

"The button! Click it to enlarge your ball." he told her.

"How do I keep on forgetting?" she asked in a hurry as she did. Aiming, she threw her ball and it bounced off the Weedle and withdrew it in a white light. Bouncing on the ground a few times it shook with a red light on the button. They watched in anticipation until it stopped. Serena went over and picked up her Pokeball. "I-I did it! I CAUGHT MY FIRST POKEMON!" she exclaimed loudly holding her ball up in the air.

Ash smiled with his arms crossed. "Seems like a new trainer with their first Pokemon capture. Eh buddy?" Ash said as he looked at Pikachu looking at him on his shoulder.

"Pika pikachu. (You know it.) he said.

Serena looked to them, smiling. "Thank you both so much. Now I know how to catch one." she said.

Ash chuckled a bit. "Well there's more than that way." he told her.

"Hmm? What else is there?" she asked him.

"A bit complicated. The best I can say is by you finding out on your own." he told her.

"I guess it's onto the next town. Squirtle, return." a red beam shot at the water type, hitting and materializing it, withdrawing it. She began to head off.

"Wait!" he told her. She stopped and looked at him. "You didn't register your Pokemon in your Pokedex." he informed her.

"Huh? Isn't that what happens when I open it to know about the Pokemon?" she questioned.

"Not really. Here!" he brought out his Dex and opened it. The new Pokedex had two openeing doors. The right one was bigger than the left. "You see..." he brought out Pidgeotto's Pokeball and enlarged it. "What happens now is that. You put the button in this circular hole." he told her as he applied it there and it went into place.

When he did that the Pokedex made a beeping sound then digital as it rendered the picture of Pidgeotto. "Pidgeotto! The flying Pokemon. Newly captured." it said as the light on the left front blinked.

Ash removed the Pokeball from it, shrunk it placing it on his belt. "You see. Your Pokemon need to be registered in your Pokedex now. I know it'll go to the Proffessor after you catch the seventh one. Still needs to be registered." Ash told her.

Serena took out Squirtle's Pokeball first and clicked the button to enlarge it. She put it into place and it began to register it. "Squirtle! The water Pokemon. Starter." it said. She removed it, putting the ball away and got out Weedle's. Putting it into place it registered the Pokemon. "Weedle! The Poison Bug type. Newly captured." it said. Serena put Weedle away.

"Now that that's settled. Let's head to Viridian." he said and they both walked the path to Viridian. Once they arrived they checked by Officer Jenny's station. She checked both their Dex's. "Mmmhmm! Okay. They both check out." she said and handed them back. "Have a safe journey you two." she told them, giving them a salute.

"Thanks officer Jenny. Nice seeing you again." Ash said.

"Same to you." They continued on their way and made it to the Pokemon Center.

Serena looked around, seeing how the place was. "Wow! This place looks amazing." she complimented.

"Evan after Pikachu fried the place five years ago. It does." he said.

Serena looked at him. "What do you mean? What happened?" she asked.

Ash looked around. "It was when I encountered Team Rocket for the first time I came here." he told her. Now this is where Serena got surprised at that. He encountered Team Rocket. The most horrible team in Kanto. Due to them wanting to rule the world. "Then after Pikachu's Thunderbolt, they went after him. Even when I went to a different region." he told her.

She turned around to look at the center some more. "Must've been a special Pokemon then. That's what I hear of what they're actually after." she said. "Hey! I just realized. My bikes fried. You fried it." she stated.

Ash chuckled nervously, a bit of a blish across his nose and he scratched the back of his head, eyes closed. "For right now! Let's get our Pokemon treated." he said as he grabbed Pidgeotto's Pokeball. She grabbed both her Pokeballs and they went up to the counter. "We'd like to get our Pokemon taken care of, please!" Ash explained.

Nurse Joy came up, with a smile on her face. "Hello there! I'll be happy to take care of them." she said.

"Thank you." Serena replied. They sat down, as Ash's head looked over the Pokemon Center.

Remembering the first time he came here as a trainer. Then remembered what else happened here. Remembering a certain redhead. Upon also remembering that he fried her bike as well. Serena looked around as well, seeing other trainers. "What's with these people? There's a lot." Serena said.

"They're here for the Pokemon League. Or possibly contests. Which ever one floats their boat." Ash told her.

Serena took that into though. 'Pokemon League and Contests.' she wondered. That's when she saw the video phone, went over to it and dialed her mother.

At her mothers. "Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, phone call, phone call." the video phone said and repeated itself.

Grace answered it. "Hello! Grace speaking." Grace said. That's when she saw Serena.

"Hey mom! I'll bet you can't guess where I am." Serena said.

"I know not home." she said, sarcastically.

"I'm in Viridian. Made it here a few days after my journey." she told her.

"Wow! In Viridian. Why'd it take you so long to get there?" she asked.

"I was looking for a Pokemon to capture for my team." Serena told her.

"Took that long? Wow. Glad you caught it. I was getting worried." her mother said.

"Actually, I wasn't the only one there." Serena said.

"Then who else is there with you? Did they help?" she asked.

"He did mom. Ash!" Serena called. Ash came over.

"Yeah? What's up?" he asked.

"Ash! This is my mom!" she told him as she moved to the side. "Mom! This is Ash. I just met him today in the woods." she told her.

"Hello Ash! I thank you for helping my daughter. If it wasn't for you, she might've gotten lost." her mother said.

"MOM!" Serena exclaimed, embarrassed.

She giggled. "Just keep an eye on her, when you can." she asked. They heard the healing sound.

"Pokemon are healed mom. Gotta go." Serena told her.

"Okay sweetie. Call me back soon." Grace told her.

"Will do." she replied and hung up. They went up to the front desk and Nurse Joy came up. "You Pokemon are in excellent health." she told them.

"Thanks Nurse Joy." Ash said and Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder. He picked up his Pokeball as Serena picked up both of hers, noticing Pikachu not going into his.

"Why isn't Pikachu going into his ball?" she asked.

"He hates being confined into his ball. He likes traveling on me better." he tells her.

"Oh wow." she said surprised. "Do other do the same?" she asked.

"Only depends on the Pokemon and what makes them comfortable." Ash told her. "As for now. I have a call to make." he said as he got on the video phone. He looked at the number that was given to him and dialed it.

"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring, phone call, phone call." the video phone said and repeated itself until it was answered.

"Hello! Prof. Oak speaking." Prof. Oak answered.

"Hey there Prof. Oak." Ash responded.

"Ah, Ash my boy. How are you? Made it to Viridian City?" he asked.

"We certainly did." Ash told him.

"We? Who's we?" Oak asked.

"Serena and I! Found her in the woods, being chased by Beedrill. She was trying to capture her first Pokemon." he told him.

"Yes, and I did. I caught a Weedle." she told him.

"Great. I'll be checking your Dex's data when I get back. It'll help to test the new features on it." he told her. "Just try to capture more than six Pokemon before I return. It'll definetly help with my research." he furthured.

"Will do Prof. Oak. I'll do my hardest." she responded.

"Same on that note Prof. How much longer till you arrive?" Ash asked.

"We've landed since last night. This morning we got everything set up to get our research underway." he told them.

"Why do you need to wait till you return? Why not do it while you're there?" Serena asked.

"Real simple. It's going to be very busy here. So I won't have time for it. Tracey will be returning to my lab soon. He'll be able to handle the Pokemon till I get back. Till then, gotta run." he told them, waving.

"Talk to you soon Prof." Ash stated.

"Bye." Serena said. The screen went blank. She looked to Ash. "So, tell me this." she said. "Where did he go off to? I thought he was still at the lab." she asked.

"He had a trip to go on. He and the others thought they had found a new region. Not for sure yet. Offered to take me there as well, but I declined." he told her.

"Why would you do that? I know you've been through here and all, but won't it be better for you to go there?" she questioned.

"Not as you would think. They don't know if it is a new region or not. So, I decided to remain behind and travel back through Kanto. Gain more experience to get back into the Indigo Plateu. I hope to as soon as I can. Same region, different journey." he told her.

"That does make some sense." she said.

"Which is why I'm heading to Pewter City. Not to mention Cerulean! Hopefully to see old traveling friends." Ash said.

"Pika pika-chu. (With you.)" Pikachu said.

Serena looked at him and Pikachu and was in deep thought. She had no idea of what she should do. Should she go with him for a while or on her own way? This is a lot to take in. Especially for her age. Looking at Ash and Pikachu still, she still wondered.

The following day, Ash and Pikachu were on the road once again. They walked in the same direction as the Viridian Forest. Much like what they did when they first started out. Ash tried to grab for a hand to hold, a reaction kicking in. It was a strange reaction, but it was some feelings that kicked in. Looking he saw no one next to him. Remembering she wasn't journeying with him anymore.

'Aweman! I completely forgot, she's not here.' he thought. He looked to Pikachu, still pertched up on his shoulder. "Ready for more adventures, buddy?" he asked.

Pikachu looked to him and gave a thumbs up. "Pika! (Yes!)" he said.

"Then let's get moving." he told him and they continued on.

"HEY! ASH!" someone shouted from behind them. They looked and saw Serena.

"Hey Serena! What up?" he asked.

"Well...I was wondering..." she said as she approached him. "Mind if I join you? This way I can gain some experience." she told him in a question.

"Sure thing." he answered. They both headed for the forest for a new journey.

Sometime later the engine of a plane is heard. It's door is opened as two people stand in the entrance, looking down at their destination. Both had on black uniforms with red Rs on the chest. Both figures having evil grins on their faces. One figure had blue hair and the other had long red hair.

"Finally! We're here." the red haired one said.

"Soon enough, we'll be able to see what's all here. Anything what the boss needs." the blue haired figure said.

A grunt came up from behind, standing at attention. "Commanders: Jessie! James!" he exclaimed. They turned to look at him. "We're ready for our decent. Everyone and all equipment are ready and waiting." he told them.

They gave a nod.

"Land this plane. The sooner were on the ground, the sooner the operation can start." James said.

The grunt gives off a salute and walks off. They look back out the plane.

"This will be successful. Unlike what happened in Kanto with the twerp. Those bombs were meant to separate them. Not one and apply the other for missing." Jessie said.

"We were close. Now, we're on top." James replied.

A small figure came up. "This means Team Rocket will be closer to world domination. Whatever is down there is ours." he said.

Jessie looked to him as she turned around. "This is big for us. So it's better." she said.

They all looked out at the place below as the wind hit them. "Team Rocket will be on top soon enough. World domination will be ours." they all said in unison as the plane went away a bit as it was turning.

Tom: This story might be including Serena, but it's just got started. With characters from Black and White 1 and 2. Including from X and Y. Even though Sun and Moon are coming out soon, this story isn't based on any of those.

Sara: TimPrime1 is changing it up at a great amount. Hoping you all will enjoy this. Plus he has a big surprise for you all. Due to the fact that he gave off a sneak peak at Transformers Cybertron 2: Dimentional Drift, he's changing it up a bit from the sneak peak and hopes to make the story soon.

Tom: Plus even more and bigger surprises along the way. More of the marathon and anniversary of Pokemon under way next.

Me: Till next time.
