Hi guys! Sorry if this chapter is a little late, the website I was using to write these episodes out wasn't working for sometime and I had to wait for it to start working again, but I'll try to update this as soon as possible! Hope you enjoy.

Stolen Pokemon
Episode 15: Part 2

"Um, where did May go?" Ash asked, looking around.

"Didn't she head to do one of the classes?" Aria said confused. "I could have heard her saying something about exploring around the academy for a bit. Oh well."

Ash, Aria, Brock were helping out with one of Roxanne's classes and May left to attend one of the classes she was interested in. Max was in the class too, so they all had a chance to learn something from Roxanne.

"Ash, Aria, Brock, is it alright if my students meet your pokemon? It would be a real honor." Roxanne said.

"Sure." They said in unison, taking out the poke balls they carried. They called out their pokemon as they appeared right in front of them, which amazed the students as they saw each one of their pokemon.

"Alright class, now did you know that Ash and Aria are both very skilled trainers and that they were in one of the best eight in the Johto League? And that Brock here use to be the Gym Leader of Pewter City Gym? So pay attention. You can learn a lot from them."

The students nod in unison, "Okay."

Roxanne looks over at Aria. "I heard from Ash that your dream isn't to become a Pokemon Master like his. What is your dream? If you don't mind me asking. I'm sure it will help the students." She said.

Aria blinked for a moment, looking over at her brother who nodded. Aria looks at the students then at her pokemon. She smiles, walking over to Ivysaur and petting it on the head.

"Well, my dream is to become friends with many different kinds of pokemon. It's the best way to know what's going on around the world so you can be prepared if you come across another pokemon like it. That's why I'm a pokemon trainer, it's because if I want to become friends with them, then why not go on a journey and make some?" She said, looking over at Roxanne. "This Ivysaur here was my first pokemon I have ever gotten when I started my journey, we've work very hard to get where we are now. As long as you believe, there's nothing that can stop you from there, at least that's what I think."

"Wow, that's amazing!" One of the students said amazed.

"That's so cool! I wish I was adventuring to meet some new pokemon!"

"When you work so hard you can't give up," She continued. "I never gave up on my dream. I've been thinking about having a journey since I was little. Right Ash?" She looks over at her brother.

"Right." He answered.

Then Roxanne took over, explaining to the students how it is to be a pokemon trainer, but Aria noticed that out of all of them, there was one boy that was nervous about being near pokemon. It was the same boy from earlier, Kenny was his name.

"Ash." She said to her brother to get his attention.

Her turns to face her. "What is it?" He asked as Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder.

"That boy over there." She pointed out. "I don't think he's a big fan of pokemon."

"Really?" Ash held Pikachu in his hands and walked over to Kenny. He looks up at Ash, noticing him walk over to him, seeing the pokemon in his hands. He turns his back to him, walking away.

"Hey wait." Ash said, stopping in his tracks. "There's no need to be scared." He assured.

Kenny stops, facing him nervously.

"I just want to introduce you to my friend Pikachu." He said. "My best friend really."

"Your best friend?" Kenny said confused.

Ash nods. "Yeah, we do everything together."

"Pikachu!" His pokemon said, smiling brightly.

"Do you want to pet him?" Ash asked.

Kenny wasn't sure at first, but reached out to the pokemon slowly, but he stops when he heard something cry out, launching an attack in their direction.

"Look out!" Max warned, pushing Kenny down on the ground to save him from the attack that was water gun from Poliwag.

"Kenny, Max, are you alright?" Roxanne asked.

"Yeah." They said in unison.

"Sorry." A boy by the name Tommy apologized. "I accidentally stepped on Poliwag's tail."

"Liar!" Anita exclaimed, holding a small Pidgey in her arms. "I can tell you did it on purpose!"

Aria looks at the young girl, her eyes widen.

"Did not!" Tommy refused. "Why would I possibly do something like that?"

Aria could see the look in his eyes, something that she has seen before.

Is it possible that he's jealous? She wondered.

Sometime has passed and now the class was outside to actually do some battling.

"Now, let's begin our pokemon battle training. Both of you will take one pokeball and will continue battling until I judge one of your pokemon unable to battle." Roxanne said.

It was currently Tommy and Max who were going to battle, which got a bit interesting.

"Alright Max, good luck." Ash said.

Then he turns, noticing someone running over to them. Aria followed his gaze until they noticed it was May.

"Where have you been May?" Brock asked.

"Oh looking around." She said smiling.

They look back at the battling and saw that they picked one poke ball, going to one end of the battlefield.

"Are the competitors ready to begin?" Roxanne asked.

"Yes." They said in unison.

"Let's start the match!"

When they called out their pokemon, Aria noticed that Max had an advantage since the pokemon he had was a water type, which Tommy's was a fire type. Max had a Poliwag, and Tommy had Magby.

"Max has the advantage." Brock said. "Fire types are weak to water types."

"That is, if he knows what he is doing." Ash added.

Aria looks over at Max, noticing that he was currently lost in thought, which gave Tommy the opportunity to attack.

"Why isn't he making a move?" May asked.

"He's probably trying to come up with a good way of attacking, but he doesn't look like he knows what he's doing." Aria replied.

Max quickly realized that Tommy was attacking and told his pokemon to use Defense Curl, which blocked the attack from Magby. But all he was doing was raising Poilwag's defense and attack while it was taking all of the damage from flamethrower.

"Magby flamethrower!" Tommy commanded.

Right when Magby was about to launch the attack, an alarm went off, which caught everyone's attention. Then the man from before ran out of the building, standing in front of Roxanne.

"Someone has stolen all of the pokemon! They're all gone!" He exclaimed.

"What!" Roxanne's eyes widen.

"How could that happen?" Ash wondered.

That was when they heard laughter, turning their attention to the tall robot that looked like a Wurmple. But hearing the same motto from before, Aria and the others could tell that it was Team Rocket. They then spot spot a net that was hanging off the robot which caught everyone's attention. A metal door opened near the horn of the robotic Wurmple, standing there was the group of three.

"We were the ones who took them!" Jessie said darkly.

"And we're going to take them back!" Ash exclaimed, turning to his pokemon. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu nods, launching is powerful attack at them, but the doors only shut, stopping the attack from reaching them. The door opens again as they taunted Ash and Pikachu. They kept on doing it over and over again until Ash grits his teeth together.

"Come on! There has to be a way to get a hit!" He exclaimed.

Right at the exact same time, Aria and Brock called out their one pokemon to help Ash out. Forrestress and Ivysaur. But also Jessie called out her Serviper, which used Poison Tail against Forrestress.

"Ivysaur, use take down!" Aria commanded.

Charging foward, Ivysaur tried to land a hit on Serviper, but it only used Poison Tail again, which landed a hit on Ivysaur, launching her pokemon back at her.

"Ivysaur no!" Aria exclaimed as she kneels down to her pokemon, noticing the marks on it. "This isn't good." She murmured. "Not even you can't beat them. I'm sorry, my friend."

May started to get involved as well, but James called out his Cacnea which made it even harder to fight them.

"What are we going to do?" Aria asked worriedly as she returned her injured pokemon back inside of the poke ball, placing it in her pocket. "We can't hit them at all! They're way to powerful!"

Max then wanted to try attacking, but Kenny stopped him, which surprised them all. "In this situation, um...it's better to use an offensive attack." He said.

Roxanne smiles. "Kenny, that's really great advice." She said.

"Wow Kenny, thanks." Max nods, turning to face their enemy. "Go Poliwag, water gun!" He commanded.

Poliwag nods as its attack hit Serviper, which did some damage to it, which surprised Max a lot.

Tommy grits his teeth, commanding Magby to attack using flamethrower, which landed a direct hit on Cacnea.

"We should help too!" Ash said.

"Wait!" Roxanne told him, stopping him from commanding his pokemon to attack.

Ash turns to face her. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Roxanne looks at the students, a grin on her face. "Why don't you wait and give the boys a little longer to see what they will do in this battle."

"What if it gets dangerous?" Aria asked, standing by her brother's side. "Don't worry, I'll step in, only if necessary."

Their plan was surprising Aria, they were working together to get the pokemon back. One by one, they were all doing their part of the plan. Max was distract Team Rocket while Tommy sneaks around from behind and uses flamethrower to light them on fire from behind. Kenny had come up with the plan and he was the one who deserved the credit, but all of them deserve it.

Team Rocket then realized that the robot started to get really hot that they could feel the heat through their shoes. The were freaking out once they felt the pain from the flamethrower. Then Anita sent the Pidgey to break the rope that held the poke balls up since Team Rocket was distracted.

Roxanne then held out a poke ball. "Why don't you let me take care of it from here?" She asked, grinning.

Max and Tommy look at her and nod in unison.

"Geodude, come on out!" She called out her pokemon. "Rollout attack!"

Geodude obeyed, curling into a ball as it quickly headed towards the robot. Ash and Aria stared at the pokemon, seeing how fast it was.

"It's so fast!" Ash said surprisingly.

"Such incredible speed!" Aria added.

Geodude crashes into the robot, destroying it as Team Rocket was sent flying into the sky once again...

The students cared as the boys started to praise each other for their hard work, including with Anita.

"Well it looks like now they've all become buddies." May said.

"And that's all going to help them become better trainers." Ash added.

"Yes, that's true." Roxanne replied.

"You're Geodude is an awesome pokemon Roxanne." Brock said. "Being an expert on rock types let me say I'm impressed."

"Thank you Brock."

He smiles, looking over at Ash and Aria. "Better watch out Ash and Aria. Looks like you're in for a quite a battle tomorrow."

"Believe us, we know." Aria said grinning as they turned to Roxanne.

"That's okay, the stronger opponent, the stronger we battle." Ash said.

Roxanne chuckles at their expression. "Sounds like you're both are ready, maybe I should be the one watching out for you."
