Pokemon Black and White Rebirth

Chapter 3: You say you wanna revolution?! Pt. 2.

On top of the roof tops of Accumula Town, Team Rocket was busy scanning the town with binoculars. They had blasted pretty far from the last time, which Jessie had dubbed "The Last Blast Off by Pikachu Ever". That still didn't keep the three from dropping into their nightly sobs of depression, and the two humans having some… "Happy time" as Meowth put it. Still, after a good night's sleep, Jessie, James and Meowth were up and ready to mug people, cause mayhem, and look fabulous doing it. However, they had noticed people in knight-like clothes. They even noticed an armored car that was banging up and down like an earthquake was hitting it.

"So what's with the freaks?" Meowth asked.

"Well, they seem to be some kind of group," James muttered.

"Brilliant detective skills James, what would we do without you?" the swirling redheaded leader venomously spat.

"Yeowch. Someone's catty today," James snarked.

"We haven't eaten yet; I'm allowed to be bitchy," she muttered.

"So what about the rest of the time? AHAHAH!" Meowth joked, which earned him a bonk on the head, causing a large welt to appear.

"Twerp alert," James muttered as they watched Iris and Ash attack the thugs in front of the Pokemon Center.

"Wow, the purple haired brat has a mean jab…and wow, who's the babe!?" Meowth muttered while he started to fawn over Purloin.

"Meowth, she bashed your head in, and clawed our faces," Jessie reminded him.

"Totally worth it," he mumbled with love hearts in his eyes.

"Ya know, I do see some sparks between those two. I approve," James threw in his two cents.

"You do remember that we are trying to rob him, not set him up on a date," Jessie hissed.

"Don't you remember what the boss said? We aren't to go after him anymore," James reminded her.

"Oh right…I'm so hungry I'm starting to not think right," she said as all their stomachs growled like normal.

"You'd think we'd be used to this," James muttered sadly.

Jessie then put the binoculars down and growled in rage.

"That's it! We are crooks, let's act like it! Come on, we're stealing our food!" She ordered as her two co-workers followed her down from the roofs into an alleyway. They unknowingly knocked out a few of the knights walking around the town. They looked down, and quickly saw Poke Balls. The two quickly grabbed the balls, and headed out into the city.

"Welcome to the Pokemon Center, I'm Nurse Joy, how can I help you?" a young woman over the counter asked the Pallet Town native and the girl from the Village of Dragons.

Ash and Pikachu, over the years, have met many, many, many Nurse Joys. However, this one was different. Rather than having the reddish pink hair, this Nurse Joy had medium light pink. Her skin looked flawless, and her blue eyes were warm, friendly, and full of kindness.

Iris slowly handed over the fainted Axew to the nurse. While Ash pulled out Oshawott and the new Pidove.

"Could you please take care of our Pokemon?" Ash asked.

The nurse smiled. "I will. Hold on you two, you might need a checkup," she said, patting for them to get on the tray she just got. Pikachu hopped on, while Purloin slowly got out, unsure of this. Pikachu smiled at her, showing the cat Pokemon not to freak out. She soon did, licking her paw like nothing was wrong.

"Please take good care of Axew, he means the world to me," Iris requested.

Nurse Joy gave her a warm smile.

"Then I'll be sure to take extra good care of him then. Don't worry, he'll be fine," She tried to reassure the wild child.

Iris in turn gave her a small smile. Ash put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hey, let's get everyone something to eat, I'm sure they'll be done after we get our food," Ash said.

"Alright, let's go, I'm starving!" she said as the two went into the Pokemon Center cafeteria to eat.

The two quickly got into a small line. However, Ash noticed a few trainers coming out of the cafeteria with Potions and Antidotes. The zigzag faced boy kept moving with the line. He then poked Iris.

"Hey Iris, I think we should ask where the Poke Mart is," he said.

The girl merely gave him a confused look.

"Ash, we can just stock up here," she stated.

The boy just blinked.

"Huh?" the boy asked, needing an explanation.

"Well, I don't know how they do it in Kanto or anywhere else, but if you want healing items or Poke Balls you just buy them at the Pokemon Center. See, there's the line," she said, pointing to a line full of trainers getting things by a counter with two workers by the cash registers. They could barely make out some items in stock behind them.

"That's pretty cool, wonder why they don't do that in the other regions?" Ash muttered to himself as the two entered into the cafeteria.

Ash and Iris quickly got the Pokemon food for their Pokemon's types. Iris got herself an apple, some trail mix, a mixed salad, and a bottle of milk. Ash got himself a sandwich, along with a banana, a bag of chips, and a bottle of water. The two found a table, and set their food down.

"I'm going to go see if Axew and the others are okay," Iris said before she started eating.

"Hi, Mama!" She heard Axew's voice.

They looked down to find Pikachu and Purloin, who were carrying Oshawott and Pidove's Poke Balls along with Axew. Iris quickly hugged her green tusked dragon, while Pikachu and Purloin jumped to Ash as he patted his best friend and Purloin rubbed her face on his face affectionately. He then pressed the Poke Balls, freeing Oshawott and Pidove. They looked at the food, the water Pokemon drooling.

"This for us?" Pidove asked.

Ash just smiled and nodded to her.

"Yeah, if you wanna join, but first you might wanna apologize to Pikachu and Purloin," he said as the bird looked at the scowling Pokemon.

"Well, if you're feeding me then, sure, I'll join up with you. Was getting bored, too," Pidove stated.

The bird Pokemon then turned to the mouse and cat Pokemon. "Um… yeah… sorry about that… Was just hungry. Forgive me?" Pidove asked, trying to look as cute as possible.

However, Pikachu grabbed a ketchup bottle, while Purloin grabbed a fork and knife, as she started to slash them.

"Would you care to grill it darling? I'd be more than happy to share," Purloin cackled.

"Oh, not at all," Pikachu said while laughing evilly.

"AHHH! No don't eat me!" Pidove cried hiding behind her new trainer.

"Relax, newbie, we were just busting your beak. Eat up, we're cool," Pikachu laughed. Ash gave his best friend a slight scowl, along with Iris. Axew and Oshawott were a tad freaked out. Still Pidove enjoyed her meal along with the other four Pokemon.

"Well, as long as we don't have any hurt feelings, let's eat!" Ash said as he dug into his soup, only to burn his tongue on it, when the spoon went into his mouth.

"Ash, why didn't you blow on it first? Ugh, what a little kid. Still, he's kinda cute… wait, why did I just think that?!" Iris thought to herself as she bit into her apple.

As Ash was drinking his water, he could slightly hear something. Iris and the Pokemon saw the same blond girl that they helped get into the Pokemon Center with a tray of food, and it looked like the blond was fighting with gravity and the tray.

"Get out of the way!" She cried out as her tray of food smacked Ash's face, while landing on top of him.

A Tepig that was following her looked down and sighed as Iris and the rest of the Pokemon pulled the two dizzy trainers up. Oshawott and Tepig looked at each other.

"Hey Osh, I told you you'd get someone to take you soon. Nice to see ya," Tepig said with a cheerful voice.

"Yo, what up man? You got tough or do I gotta school ya? I kid man, we tight," Oshawott greeted.

Ash and the new trainer quickly woke up, rubbing their heads. The girl's face went bright red.

"I'm sorry, did I hurt you? Oh, please forgive me, I lost my balance and –oh wow, your hair." the girl babbled.

"What about my hair?!" Iris asked about to get defensive.

Iris then saw this random girl, sticking her nose near her hair, and sniffing it.

"It smells really good," the new trainer admitted.

"Um… thank you?" Iris muttered.

"Oh, silly me, I'm Bianca. I'm sorry about all that, but while I was getting something to eat, I saw you guys and wanted to say thanks for earlier… Again, sorry about your head," Bianca explained and apologized again.

Ash just smiled.

"Meh, it's fine. My head's stronger than that. You could hit it with a chair, and I could still get up," Ash joked.

Oshawott and Bianca's Tepig were eyeing an empty folding chair.

"Don't even think about it," Pikachu said with a death glare, as static came from his cheeks. That kept them in line, which caused Purloin and Axew to laugh a bit.

"So Bianca, where are you from? Iris asked.

"Oh, I'm from the town before this one, I just started on my journey. Daddy said that I wouldn't be able to handle it, but Tepig and I are proving him wrong. Isn't that right Tepig? You little cutie," the new friend of the two gushed as she snuggled her Starter Pokemon.

Oshawott snickered at his old friend's embarrassment.

"Aw, come here Axew," Iris cooed as she started to cuddle her dragon.

"Wow, those two are really sweet, and adorable, and cute," Ash thought as his face turned bright red. Then a light bulb went off in his head, as he remembered something.

"Hey Iris, I have to make a phone call, do you mind getting the Potions and other stuff we need?" He asked while giving her his wallet.

Iris nodded her head as she took the wallet.

"Also, get yourself a bag and a sleeping bag if they have it. Ash wouldn't want you sleeping on the ground," Pikachu added, making his trainer blush even harder.

"Well, thanks for the offer, but I sleep in the trees when Axew and I aren't inside," Iris responded.

"Huh? No way! Aren't you scared, aren't you worried about falling off?!" The blonde asked her new friend.

"Not at all," Iris said to shake away Bianca's worries.

"It's pretty comfy," Axew admitted.

"I'll be back," Ash said, leaving while taking Pikachu. Iris waved as, she and Bianca left to get supplies. Oshawott, Pidove, and Purloin kept eating. Still, the cat was keeping her ears focused on something. None of the other Pokemon were sure of why.

The native Kanto boy made it to the phone. He looked at his Pokedex, looking up the number. Pikachu pointed it to him, and he started to press the area code along with the number. The screen came up, but rather than seeing the smiling face of their beaming, blue-haired, bright-eyed, contest-ribbon-winning BFF Dawn, what they saw instead was something else. They saw Piplup's head on Dawn's body. The Pokemon came with a zombie like stare in his eyes along a bloody axe in his head.

"AHHHH!" Both human and Pokemon screamed.

They could then hear giggling and then laugher. Not only from Piplup, who was being pulled off of Dawn's body, showing the two he was fine, but they could finally see Dawn herself laughing at the small prank.

"Got ya," both Sinnoh human and Pokemon cried out while laughing.

"Dawn, Piplup…you nearly freaked the crap out of us!" Pikachu shouted.

"And it was awesome!" Ash laughed.

"Glad to see you guys again," Piplup spoke,

"Yeah, since you were bawling like a baby when we left," Pikachu snickered.

"Sh-SHUT UP!" the Water Pokemon snapped back.

"So Ash, how are you doing? …Is your back okay? Are you okay!?" she asked.

"Oh, I'm fine. No need to worry Dawn," He assured her.

"You were in a coma for a week; I think I have the right to be a little worried about my best buddy," Dawn pouted.

"Well, I'm in Unova… traveling around with a new friend," he stated.

"Who he's totally crushing on," Pikachu jabbed.

"Oh?!" Dawn's eyebrows rose with an amused look on her face.

"I, I…I –Pikachu! The hell!?" Ash hissed, blushing.

"Aww, how cute! So who is the girl that's taking your heart?" Dawn gushed while looking around the screen.

"Her name's Iris," Pikachu added.

"Oh that's pretty. Tell me, is she cute?" Dawn pried.

"Beautiful, her hair, those eyes, that smile…" Ash went on before shutting his mouth.

"Her personality needs a bit of work, but she's not bitching about a bike, so there's that," Pikachu added. Purrloin was rubbing her head on Pikachu's back

"When did you get here?!" Pikachu asked, not having noticed her before.

"Just now, actually. Oh, and hello there, cutie pie," Purloin meowed at Dawn.

"Hello," Dawn and Piplup waved.

"Anyway, what are you doing Dawn?" Ash asked.

Dawn then thought about it.

"Well, Zoey and I are actually gonna be going to Unova pretty soon, for a romantic vacation. Just me and her, and our Pokemon," Dawn sighed in a daydream-like state.

"Hey that's cool, maybe we could meet up soon and catch up," Ash said.

"Ketchup? Where!?" Pikachu fired, turning his head quickly back and forth.

Purloin just patted his head to calm him down, making Ash and Dawn laugh.

"Wait… can you understand our Pokemon?" Ash asked.

"Oh well yeah, but, I found out about what happened to you, by…overhearing Professor Rowan on the phone, yesterday," Dawn explained.

"Oh, well I can't wait for you to get come to Unova… I miss ya," Ash admitted.

"I miss you, too. Also, it'll totally be cool, and maybe we could catch you in a league battle!" Dawn said, unknowingly putting her foot in her mouth. Her hatted best friend hung his head in shame, and a figurative cloud of doom rose above his head.

"AHH! Ash, come back to me, I'm sorry! I didn't mean…Oh, I forgot that was taboo!" Dawn panicked as Ash slowly sank deeper into his depression.

Before Dawn could say anymore Iris tapped Ash on the shoulder, causing him to spring back to life as Purloin and Pikachu were about to snap him out of it. Iris was carrying something giftwrapped, along with a new bag on her back.

"Just wanted you to know that Bianca's with Pidove and Oshawott who are still eating, and someone said this was for you," she stated. Axew popped out of her hair and waved at the screen.

"Mama, how did a lady get onto the box thing?" Axew asked, pointing at Dawn.

"Oh, right, you're still in a call, sorry. I'll just go back to where we were eating," Iris said.

"Oh ho, so Pikachu, is this Iris?" Dawn wanted to know. This made the zigzag faced boy start to turn as bright red as a hot chili pepper.

"Yes, I'm Iris, and who are you?" Iris asked in a confused manner.

"Oh, I'm Dawn, and you look really cute. As cute as your Pokemon," Dawn praised.

"Um…thank you? I mean, you really think I'm cute?" Iris asked. Not many people complimented her.

"Oh yes, and Ash thinks you're beautiful, by the way," she said, causing both to blush.

Iris covered her mouth and hands with her sleeves.

"DAWN!" Ash growled, as things were about to be super awkward.

"You…you, you… Ash, you little kid!" Iris panicked leaving the two in a rush.

No one said anything for a good two minutes.

"Aw, she's shy," Dawn cooed.

"Dawn! Do you know what you've just done!? What if she thinks I'm weird and doesn't wanna travel with me anymore!?" he snapped.

"If she wanted to ditch us, she could have done it last night. In fact, that would have been the best time," Pikachu thought out loud.

"Sweetie, shut it!" the cat hissed.

"Ash, no need to worry, I'm sure you two will just laugh it off," Dawn responded.

Ash didn't look calm, causing both Dawn and Piplup to sweat drop behind their backs.

"Look, man, if she's not the one, then don't worry. Move on," Piplup advised.

"I'll pray for you if it helps," Dawn added.

He finally gave a small smile.

"Okay, Dawn. Then again, I wonder what Zoey would say if she found out that at night, you still need to wear –" Ash was about to say.

"AAAHHH! No! You promised you wouldn't tell if I showed you!" Dawn yelled with a look of horror on her face.

"I'm just kidding, Dawn. Anyway, I got things to do, so let's talk later. It was great hearing from you again," the boy said smiling.

"It was great to hear from you, too, Ash. I was getting worried when you weren't taking anyone's calls for a while. Glad to know you're doing okay, just keep your chin up!" she ordered.

"Alright, Princess, see you later," Ash said.

Dawn blew a kiss at the screen, but the sound of knock came at the door.

"Sweet heart, are you ready, I've been waiting for you." They all heard Zoey call.

Dawn's wide eyes looked back at Ash, then the door, then Piplup.

"Um… just a minute, Love… I need to get ready!" She yelled back.

"Piplup, quick, help me find the prison uniform and the handcuffs," she whispered to her Pokemon in ear shot. Dawn then ended the call with a blush on her face.

"Well… let's go see Iris and Bianca to make sure you two stick together," Pikachu said.

"Right, just don't think of anything naughty for now," Purloin advised.

"Okay," Ash mumbled as his brain was about to crack like an egg about to fall on the sidewalk. Pikachu cursed the slow human mindset change period from child to adult, known as the teenage years.

Ash and the two Pokemon made their way back to the table. The boy saw that Oshawott and Pidove were full, so he sent them back into their Poke Balls. Bianca was texting on a phone, while Iris was looking at him, making the boy feel awkward. People called him stupid, but now he really felt like he was.

He sat down, and Iris gave the boy back his wallet. He quickly took it, but as soon as he did, Iris put her hand over his heart again.

"Did you really mean that?" she asked suspiciously.

"That I said you were… beautiful? Yes," Ash squeaked.

Iris looked at her talisman and felt his heartbeat. He was telling the truth, causing her to feel lightheaded. No one had called her that and actually meant it –well, no human, anyway. Not that she cared about what others called her, but still it was nice.

"Well, thank you… Anyway, that's for you." Iris said pointing at the long, lean package.

Ash quickly unwrapped it, finding it be a long oak wood staff with a metal circle on the tip of it and a blue gem in the middle of the circle. On the circle's sides hung two iron rings, one black and one white. The gem glowed with a slight dark blue hue, and so did Ash's eyes and hands, causing his Pokemon and Iris, with Axew, to step back a bit. Bianca was too busy texting to notice.

"Ash…What is that?" Iris asked.

"It's neat," Axew added.

"It's an aura staff!" Pikachu and Ash said out loud.

"So the weird man from the box gave us a gift. It's perfect!" Purloin thought.

"Who gave this to you, Iris?" Ash asked.

"Well, it was some guy in a blue suit and a long brown coat... He was really skinny and had spike brown hair. He talked a little funny too, but he never told me his name," Iris remembered.

"Looker?" Both Pikachu and Ash thought, having an image of him in their collective heads.

"So what is it?!" The green dragon questioned.

"It's for humans who can use aura power like some Pokemon can. We met a guy like that in Sinnoh, and a friend of ours Rui can see aura." Pikachu explained.

Iris tilted her head.

"So… are you a wizard Ash? Is some big guy with a beard gonna bang the door on the Pokemon Center and take you away to magic school?" Iris joked, laughing a bit.

Suddenly the doors were kicked in causing many to panic. A lot of those knights from before came in with Poke Balls and swords.

"We, Team Plasma, hereby order every trainer to follow us to hear our Lord N's words!" One shouted, commanding the respect of the room.

"Please follow us, and none will be harmed," a woman knight stated in a much calmer voice than her male counterpart.

"Oh, screw that! Do what we say or your heads are gonna get chopped off!" A much harsher Team Plasma knight growled, summoning her Woobat who was giving everyone an evil eye.

"Eeeppp!" The young starting trainer cried out, now very scared. This feeling was mutual for most of the trainers, since more than half of their Pokemon were still healing, or low level. That didn't stop Team Plasma from throwing out Woobat, Patrat, and Timburr.

"MONSTERS!" Purloin hissed, looking like she was about to foam at the mouth, surprising Pikachu, Axew, and Iris.

One Team Plasma Grunt pointed a sword at Nurse Joy.

"You will release the Pokemon now!" he ordered.

"I don't know who any of you think you are, but I can't just release any of the injured Pokemon while they are still being healed," Nurse Joy explained.

The grunts scoffed at this as they were about to swing their swords to do some damage. Iris quickly kicked one of the grunts in the back of the head, while Ash now used his new staff to knock one of the grunt's swords out of her hands, also accidentally blasting a few more grunts into a wall with a burst of aura in the process. Pikachu and Purloin were also attacking the Pokemon of the Plasma Grunts.

Pikachu was being flashy, while Purloin was being, well… brutal. One grunt grabbed a hold of Iris's arms, but Axew head butted the grunt's face, knocking him back a bit. Ash was putting Wes's training to good use, but the numbers were starting to be a little too much for just himself and Iris. Bianca panicked, and Tepig tackled the grunt that was about to attack her. A few trainers finally got the bright idea to fight back. Sadly, they were quickly forced into submission. Others surrendered and gave into their will, being moved out like drones while some of the Plasma Grunts were hitting them to keep them moving. Iris and Ash needed a plan fast, because the grunts were bringing in reinforcements.

"Grab them!" a few more grunts yelled.

"Purloin, Shadow Ball us an exit!" Ash yelled.

"Bianca, get Tepig to use Ember on the sprinklers," Iris added.

"Okay! Tepig, fire!" The blond ordered.

Both Pokemon did as they were asked; Purloin made a hole in the Pokemon Center while Tepig made it rain by setting off the sprinkler system. The three trainers and their Pokemon ran as fast as they could.

"Sir, should we go after them?" One asked.

The leading grunt scoffed.

"Someone else will get them. Let's deal with the ones here," he ordered.

"We could have done this better. We aren't setting a good image for our cause," The more reasonable woman grunt muttered.

"Leave that to the King," the harsher woman grunt spat while she took someone's watch.

They hid between the third alleyways. However they could see a large number of Team Plasma Grunts forcing quite a few people and Pokemon to move, like they were livestock.

"Is this where it all starts?" Purloin muttered underneath her breath.

"Okay, where are the police when you need them?" Iris asked.

They saw Officer Jenny and a few of the police open fire on a few of the Team Plasma Grunts only to have sleep powder thrown in their faces, knocking them out. Team Plasma dragged them away.

"Okay, this is bad," Pikachu said.

"Yep," Axew said, gulping.

"Does anyone hear yelling?" Iris asked.

They all looked around and saw an armored car bouncing around. The Team Plasma Grunts were knocked out by a ninja-like Pokemon. It was blue, lean, and frog-like with ninja stars on the calves of his legs and a pink scarf around his neck, which, unbeknownst to the rest of them, was the frog Pokemon's tongue.

"What is that?" Bianca asked.

"I have no idea." Iris, Purloin, Ash, Pikachu, and Axew said.

"That Pokemon looks so cool!" Ash and Bianca whispered.

The Ninja frog turned to them eyeing them all, and in a flash, appeared in front of them all. He was looking at Pikachu and Ash.

"Can you please open the car door over there? My hands are not good with keys. I am Naruto the Greninja, and my trainer knows you… Zigzag face," the Greninja stated.

Iris and Axew giggled at the nickname. Even Bianca's Tepig did so. His human trainer was the only who didn't understand what was going on.

"So is he hungry?" She asked.

"No, he wants to us to open the car door for some reason," Iris asked.

"How do you know?" Bianca asked.

"Um… an older trainer can just tell," Ash half lied.

"Also the key in on his… tongue?" Iris expanded while looking at the car key.

Soon the group went to the armored car. They found the knocked out Plasma Grunts on the floor. Purloin jumped off Ash to add more insult to injury by attacking them. Ash slowly turned the key, while Iris, Bianca, and the new Pokemon helped him open the car. They found two humans that Ash and Pikachu remembered from Juniper's lab: Lan and Del, who were both bound and gagged.

End of Chapter.
