Hello.

Sorry for the wait, if you were anticipating this chapter.

Sky chases

Ash woke up in noon, unaware that he slept for almost half the day away. Upon waking up he yawned and saw Serena wasn't there at her bed.

He stretched his arms."What time is it?" He wondered. "Serena," Ash called out. He looked all around the room, but nowhere was she to be found.

Ash got ready, patted his empty pockets and went out to the lobby to look for his friends.

"I should really buy my own phone." Ash often thought at times when they were seperated. Seeing as his friends were nowhere to be found he went out of the pokemon center after he ate.

He wondered where were his companions as he walked on the pavement on the sidewalk. He headed towards Shalour city gym in hopes of getting a mega bracelet to activate the mega stone he got for his Charizard. He also thought maybe his friends were there.

Midway he stopped walking because something struck him. The Shalour city gym was in the middle of the ocean and the only way to get there is by the change of tide that happen during the dawn the sunset.

Following the thought he came up with a solution. Use Charizard to fly him there or just borrow a boat. He grabbed a pokeball in his pocket and released the pokemon outside. Charizard came out in flashy way, lighting the sky with flames. It was fierce looking.

Since Charizard was released in the middle of the city the pokemon was surrounded with people. Some passed the large pokemon and some looked in awe and took a picture of it.

Seeing Charizard, made him want to train him like the old days. He decided to go get out Noivern to spar with Charizard.

He got out Noivern when they were at the outskirts of the city. Since it was crowded he didn't want to have Noivern go on a rampage.

"Noivern," Ash tried to talk to him, but with no luck. Noivern wanted to be left alone in peace. It produced loud sounds that almost knocked out Ash, Charizard and whoever was in close by in the area where they were in. Noivern, took this chance to escape his trainer and flew off.

Ash shouted, "Noivern," as he stretched an arm to reach Noivern and one in one of his still ringing ears. Ash knew the only chance he would get to catch Noivern was to travel through the skies. Quick to respond, about a couple minutes, when Ash had recovered in his ear, he rode on Charizard and went after Noivern.

The Ariel pursuit began. The heavy wind was felt Ash and the two dragons due to the speed the two dragons were using. Noivern was fast, but it couldn't possibly match against Ash's Charizard. The pokemon had two more years of experience of flying than Noivern.

Ash shouted, "Charizard!" To be heard by the pokemon while they were going through an aerial race and game of evade and capture. "Get me in close, I'll get Noivern by using his pokeball."

Chairs are nodded and accelerated then when the distance was just a few feet Charizard kept in sync with Noivern's speed, maintaining the distance from Noivern.

"Noivern re-", Ash said as he was interrupted mid sentence trying to activated it by an attack made by Noivern. Using its tail Noivern knocked out its' Pokeball out of his hands and it fell through the sky.

"Charizard, quick that pokeball!" Ash shouted.

Charizard quickly descended from the blue sky. Just below them was a forest just outside of Shalour city.

The pokeball dropped down. Each time it dropped down a few inches, Ash's heart would beat faster knowing that if it falls on the leafy tops of the tress in the forest it will be harder to find. Plus the fall from a great height increased his heart beat. Few meters left from going through the leaves of the trees. The pokeball fell in one of his hands, while the other one was holding on to Charizard very tightly.

The pokeball fell in his hand.

"Hey, I got it." Ash rejoiced to the fact that he had luckily catched the item that descended from great heights. They got the pokeball, but they couldn't rest easy. They looked up to see that Noivern went missing.

Where could Noivern have gone too. Clearly the vast blue, clear sky would give away Noivern's location if it was still flying because Ash and Charizard would have seen it from a mile away. Noivern must have hid in the forest, with it's trees, bushes and other plants that the sound wave pokemon would have been able to hide in.

Ash ordered his pokemon, "Charizard let's go down."

The fire pokemon did what was told and went down to the vast forest. In hopes to search and find Noivern.

He got out the rest of his pokemon. "Greninja, Hawlucha, Talonflame, I chose you." The three pokemon was out and was given instructions to find Noivern. The pokemon and Ash seperated to find the sound wave pokemon.

They met up an hour later and none of them saw the sound wave pokemon. Ash shook his head as his hands covered his face before sitting down. The grounded crunched beneath him and he leaned against the tree and felt a surge of despair. The chance of finding his wayward pokemon was low until they heard a loud screech.

"Noivern!?" Ash wondered if it was really his pokemon. Him and his pokemon all headed towards the noise.

They ran through leaves and found a clearing in the forest. It was devoid of plant life except grass, but on it was Team Rocket and a caged Noivern, attacking violently at the handle bars. Ash's team hid for a moment to hide themselves from the bad guys.

Currently, Noivern was on a rampage producing loud sound waves in his confides.

"Be quiet!" Jessie stammered. She kicked the cage. "You're hurting my ears."

"We should have got the soundproof cage," Jessie said.

"Well we wouldn't know if we would get this pokemon," Meowth said. "Just our luck. We got the loudest one out of that twerp's pokemon."

"Let's just get it away from here." James exclaimed. "Before that twerp comes here and foils our plans.

"Too late," Ash announced as he jumped out of the bushes. Ash presented himself to Team Rocket. His Pokemon followed behind him.

Team Rocket did their motto.

"Prepare for trouble" Jessia announced.

"And make it double," James announced.

"To protect the world from devastation."

"To unite our people with within our nation."

"Jessie."

"James."

"Team rocket blast through the speed of light."

"Surrender now and prepare to fight."

Meowth commented, "Meowth that's right."

Ash shouted, "Give me back Noivern."

Jessie remarked,"No way, twerp."

James got out his Inkay and Jessie got out her Gourgeist.

Ash in response got out one pokemon to do battle. "Charizard you wanna battle?" Greninja stood there a little annoyed and jealous.

Charizard stepped up and growled. At the same time Charizard blasted a flamethrower into the sky. Charizard looked menacing and the rest of Ash's pokemon stood there in watch ready to help if something goes wrong.

James ordered the first move. "Inkay psybeam."

Inkay in response blasted it towards Charizard and the pokemon took it head on at its face. The blast did some damage, but not enough to knocked it out.

Ash's other pokemon just watched from the sidelines.

"Gourgeist!" Jessie called out. "Shadow ball."

Ash responded, "Charizard blast burn."

The two pokemon fired their respective blast to each other. The fire from Chrizard engulfed the shadow ball and exploded mid battlefield.

"Inkay psybeam." James told his pokemon.

Inkay blasted it towards Charizard, but Ash called out a move. Charizard dodge and use seismic toss.

Chaarizrd, with eas, dodged it and got a grip in Gorgeist and slammed it down on the ground. It was knocked unconscious.

Knowing Team Rocket was done for they did the only thing that could do. They tried to run away. Behind them was as their Meowth shaped hot air balloon. On the base of the vehicle was an opened latch that had a long robotic arm attached to one of the handle bars of the cage Noivern was in.

"Inkay return." James held out Inkay's Pokeball and returned it to it.

Jessie did the same thing to her Gorgeist. They made a break for it and they successfully got to their airballon and took of.

Ash, in response, got on his Chrizard and returned Greninga to its pokeball, seeing that it's the only one of his pokemon right now that can't fly. Ash took off with Charizard and behind Ash was Hawlucha and Talonflame.

Another aerial chased brewed. Luckily the hot air ballon wasn't really that fast.

"Increase the flame," Jessie said. "They're catching up."

"It's no use," James commented. Jessie and James were panicking throwing their arms hysterically.

They panicked until Meowth gave a solution to their predicament. "Let's lose some weight, we are going to slow."

James and Jessie nodded to each other and pulled down a lever that controlled whether athe cage will be kept attached or not. The arm that was holding Noivern's cage let go and the cage fell.
