Misty: Where is our author? I happened to like this one.
May: I remember something about school projects, exams and our new game. Plus his other story.
UO: (Walking) You would be right. I happen to have Pokémon X thank you. I had projects and exams and you all know I want to give equal billing to my current projects. Plus I figure I give you some time to get to know the actors from Bleach.
May: They were fun especially Orihime.
Max: Only Orihime would like your cooking.
May: MY COOKING IS NOT THAT BAD MAX (Sobs and runs into Ash who hugs and rubs her hair.)
Ash: Its ok May you just need to practice alright. You have done alright. (Ash and Misty soothe the brunette)
UO: Good job, Max make her feel worse.
Brock: Sarcasm duly noted. (Gets hit with a frying pan)
UO: NO ONE ASKED YOU ugh…where's the Aspirin
Drew: Here where's Gabby and Tori? (Phone rings) Hello? Ok. Love you too. (Click)
UO: Well
Drew: They will be here in a few minutes. They said start without them.

Drew: Why do you tempt fate (Runs over to the set to find the set on fire?)
UO: (Eyes twitch)
Drew: He's about to blow RUN!
UO: WHYYYYYY! (Falls to the ground)
Drew (Walks over): This is a good story. I'll admit there may have been some slow parts and mistakes but I am glad I signed on. It's going to be okay so what if our set keeps getting destroyed.
Ash: Yeah…come on UO don't let this get you down. I happen to like being smarter than my anime self.
UO (Sniffles) Thanks…guys. I will tell you I will use two films in this story. I was planning on using the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew to at least establish aura training and maybe the Arceus film.
Drew: You Readers listen up! This Man is putting forward a good story. Please for the love of god review this story, like this story just give it some appreciation. You have driven him to this. So it isn't canon, so it is an obscure crossover SO WHAT! Just drop him a review or a PM telling him what you did or didn't like that isn't so much to ask. Twenty chapters counting this one now and only four reviews come on people.
UO: Thanks guys. Someone do the disclaimer.
Ash: On it UnitedOsprey1991 doesn't own Pokémon or Kamen Rider. He would be rich otherwise and Japanese. Also he would have me and Misty or May together or both.

UO: Alright. Chapter Structure will be May getting her egg which AG151, The Battle Dome which is AG153, and original chapter and one of the episodes dealing with Celebi, leaning towards AG 155 where she's hurt.

Chapter 20: Road Trip
We last left our heroes at the Battle Arena having won the second of the seven frontier symbols. Along the way May won her second contest after coming back against a Venusaur and helped mend a family's relationship. Also happening was a scary encounter with a snake monster almost killing Tori at a special medicine shop, where thanks to timely intervention she was saved. They also somehow established an alliance with their constant chasing companions Team Rocket and revealed their current nemesis.
Now they were on the way to the Battle Dome for Ash and Drew's third frontier battle outside of Lavender Town. For once their navigation was correct to Max's delight and they were making good time. They had stopped off to the side of the road for a water break and everyone was enjoying the good weather.
"Man…I wish we had more days like this. It is beautiful" Gabby sighed laying on her bag. Tori was already taking a nap on the other side of her.
"This is farm country alright, no suburbs just miles and miles of farmland. It's nice." Drew said taking off his hat and observing the landscape.
Ash nodded at that from his bag as Pikachu squealed in happiness. Misty was snuggled into chest feeling the wind in her air and sighing. She scanned around and saw her other partner just dancing around in the wind like she was controlling it. May stopped and took a couple of calming breathes and looked around. Seeing her group she waved over and those that could acknowledged her. Looking over and seeing her two romantic partners they smiled at her. May smiled back and looked around. Catching something out of the corner of her eye she walked up to the fence. What she didn't realize was that two red and white spheres rolled up behind her.
Max, Ash and Misty who were paying attention to May saw the Voltorb. The called out "MAY WATCH OUT!" With quick thinking, Max launched a burst of wind just May turned around and saw the Voltorb about to launch an attack. With a yelp she was lifted into the air and let go allowing her to fall into Ash's arms.
"You alright May." Ash said with a grin. May blushed slightly and nodded, despite their four month relationship and dates in between their contests and battles; she still blushed at some of the things they did. Case in point being carried like this she felt like a bride like this. That's why she felt a little disappointed when he put her down.
Drew walked over to the Voltorb who were still on guard. "Wouldn't expect them to be out here they are probably trained.
"Hold it trespassers" the group turned to see a red head with a darker coloration than Misty's where coveralls. Drew noted that her accent sounded southern.
"These Voltorb are trained to keep out trespassers…wait a minute" the girl took a closer look at May and her attitude change "Oh wow your May. I saw your win at the Saffron Contest that was so cool. Voltorb stand down they are ok" the two spherical pokémon nodded and backed off
"Nicolette where are you sweetie." A chipper male voice said. The group looked and saw a big man with brown hair orange shirt and track pants and a red headed woman that looked like an older version of the now named Nicolette.
The man turned to regard the group "Oh hello travelers. I'm Christopher, this is my wife Jeanine and this is our daughter Nicolette. Welcome to our farm.
Max was the one that posed the question "What do you guys raise?"
Jeannie smiled "We raise pokémon eggs. Come on we will show you around.
The group walked around the farm and then entered a building next to the main house. "This is where we take care of the eggs. Many of these eggs are from other trainers but we raise some of them ourselves." Christopher said as they finished the tour.
The group was in awe of the room as they looked around. May looked at the many different eggs. She stopped in front of one of the shelves and reached out to touch one. Suddenly she felt she wasn't in the room but some sort of nursery for human babies. Looking down she saw two babies, twins, to be exact a boy and a girl snuggled up to a stuffed bear. The girl had ebony black hair while the boy had brown hair.
"May?" She turned and saw Misty but much older probably in his early thirties. She must admit he looked downright handsome as his face had matured a lot
"May?" She blinked and she was back in the hatchery and Ash had returned to his younger self. Said younger self looked concerned. She shook her head and placed a hand on her head.
"What's wrong?" May looked at him "Nothing just a small headache." She said and kissed him on the nose.
"What was that for? Not that I mind." Ash said flustered. "Oh just me thanking you for being there, that's all." May said walking way. Before she could go more than five feet she was embraced by the black haired teen and spun around and kissed on the lips. Her surprised look turned into content as she closed her eyes. They were snapped out of it when a throat was cleared. Eyes widened as they separated and looked at the voice only to calm down somewhat at Misty who just smiled at the two. Looking around and seeing no one she walked over and kissed Ash. When they separated Ash's eyes were glazed. Turning towards May she gave her a peck too and Ash having snapped out of it blushed at the site and felt his nose drip a little blood. When the girls separated May was completely out of it. Misty giggled at their expressions. "Don't leave me out of it you two." She winked at them and left the hatchery to head back. The two remaining looked at each other and laughed. "I think we unleashed a minx." Ash said. "She's not the only one." May giggled and walked away. Ash was dumbstruck at her expression and just followed her out.
When he got outside Max had caught up to May. Apparently, Nicolette had told him about her dream of being a coordinator but was too scared to leave. Max tried to comfort her but then she caught sight of May's Munchlax and challenged him to a match Considering the glutton pokémon was May's Max ran to find her walking out of the hatchery. Now May was on the other side of the battlefield from Nicolette who had released a Vileplume to face her Munchlax although May showed some reluctance because this was the first time using him.
"Ready to go May." Nicolette called out.
"Bring it on" May said confidently. Off to the side the two earth girls saw her behavior.
"You know shrink her chest a little and darken her hair and I'd swear Ash was on the field." Gabby said. (A/N May from what I've seen of her was a bit of an early bloomer if the folds on her shirt were any indication.)
Tori shook her head "This will be interesting to say the least considering that this is Munchlax's first match. May doesn't know what he could potentially do." She said as Drew walked over and stood to watch the battle.
On the battlefield Nicolette wasted no time getting down to business. "Vileplume use Petal Dance." The flower pokémon launched several streams of pink petals at Munchlax which proceeded to confuse the poor guy.
"No Munchlax are you okay." Munchlax just moaned and had little Torchic spinning around his head.
"Vileplume use Stun Spore." Vileplume unleashed the yellow spores and it paralyzed Munchlax further.
"No Munchlax use Metronome." Munchlax was able to get himself together and started waving his figures. When he stopped he started bouncing around much the grumblings of her friends.
Drew groaned and palmed his face. "Great he used Splash not the best time for May."
Nicolette seeing this pressed her advantage. "Now use Bullet Seed Vileplume." The giant flower launched the bullets at Munchlax sending up a cloud of smoke.
Nicolette grinned "What happened May I thought you were good, but this is just too easy.
May hearing this snapped. "YOU DON"T KNOW ANYTHING! Munchlax snap out of it and kick some butt!
As if there was some divine intervention, Munchlax charged out of the smoke cloud fist glowing and sent an uppercut to Vileplume which sent it staggering back.
"Whoa what was that?" Max from the sidelines.
"That looked like Focus Punch." Brock pointed out.
"I didn't know he knew that, heck I don't think any of us did." Misty said.
"May now's your chance finish it." Ash called out.
"Munchlax use Solarbeam." May called out as Nicolette tried to get Vileplume out of the way. The Solarbeam was fired and it glanced Vileplume but it had enough power to knock the flower pokémon out. May cheered and Nicolette looked like she was ready to cry. May walked over to shake her hand but she just returned Vileplume and smiled for her.
After the battle, the whole group was taken to another hatchery. According to Christopher, these all belonged to trainers and a couple of them were close to hatching.
Christopher pulled May aside "May…why don't you go find Nicolette and share some of the stories you've had on the road." May nodded as they went inside to have dinner.
A few minutes later they were all seated at table to a nice dinner made by Jeanine.
"So guys do you have any good stories about your trip." Christopher asked.
"Oh yeah plenty" Ash said as he adopted a thinking pose. Misty though chimed in.
"Oh I got one. A couple of years ago Ash was challenging the Celadon gym. Unfortunately he insulted something very dear to the gym leader and was banned outright. He had to dress up as a girl just to get in, right Ashley?"
Ash grumbled "Never going to live it down. I bet if there was a technique to change me into a girl you would get me to learn it wouldn't you."
Across the multiverse a blond-haired blue eyed 'girl' sneezed as he proceeding to knock out 'her' pursers. (I pity you if you don't get this)
Back at the dinner table Misty giggled "I don't know I would think you would be a cute girl."
Ash held his head. Misty just kissed him on the cheek. The two parents laughed while Nicolette stayed quiet. More stories were exchanged as Nicolette slipped away not eating much.
Christopher sighed "My girl is such a stubborn one. May can you go talk to her. The rest of you can I ask you all for a favor. A couple of the eggs are close to hatching can you patrol the area around here."
May nodded and left to go after Nicolette. The rest agreed and set up a perimeter around the barn.
Ash was walking around near the barn when a small noise caught his attention. He looked and saw it was Meowth. Looking around and finding no one around he walked over.
"Meowth what's going on? Where's James and Jessie" Ash asked. Meowth looked around. "Listen twerp they are leading an attack, you know to keep Glenn off our case. They plan to attack the hatchery for those eggs we saw in there, something about a giant egg according to Glenn.
Ash's eyes widened. During the dinner, the Voltorb had gotten agitated and a giant egg appeared next to hatchery. They managed to wheel away from the house and put it next to the hatchery.
"Thanks Meowth. I know you're taking a big risk." Meowth waved it off. "Listen Twerp, we might be enemies but you gave us chances we would not have gotten from other trainers. You're not so bad really. Now get out of here." Ash nodded and started running towards the barn.
At the same time
May had found Nicolette. She was polishing one of the eggs and looking a little solemn.
"Hey there" May called out. Nicolette looked up and hesitantly smiled and when back to polishing the egg. May started helping her polish the eggs as Nicolette remained quiet. After a few minutes May spoke.
"So Nicolette what made you decide to be a coordinator." She asked while rubbing a tan egg.
Nicolette sighed "At first, I was content to staying on the farm taking care of the eggs. Then I watched your contest a couple of weeks ago in Saffron and I was amazed at the gracefulness of your Combusken and your Squirtle who overcame the odds. It was amazing." Here Nicolette looked down. "But I'm scared. I'm scared of not succeeding, scared of leaving home. I just don't know if I can do it." She said putting the blue and yellow egg down and folding up her legs and putting her head chin on them.
May breathed out as she placed her egg down and sat next to her "Do you want to know something Nicolette?" The dour girl looked over at May as she looked up at the ceiling and was smiling. "I was in the exact same position as you. Heck when I left New Bark Town. It wasn't until I saw a contest in Rustboro City that I decided to become a coordinator. You know who was right there to support me?" Nicolette shook her head. "My brother Max, Brock and Ash were there. They supported my decision and have helped me tremendously. Ash what can I say, he is a great man. I thank whoever sent him into my life tremendously."
Nicolette smiled "What is he your boyfriend?" May blushed slightly "It's complicated alright let's leave it at that. But yes he is my boyfriend and he has a big heart for others." Nicolette laughed at that. May laughed along with her but then she stopped.
"May…what's going on?" Nicolette asked. May motioned Nicolette to be quiet and crept up to the door. She opened it and saw the big egg cracked open revealing several soldiers and a big Chansey like monster. Team Rocket happened to be right outside the egg directing traffic. They broke into the hatchery and were loading up eggs.
"May what is happening?" Nicolette said looking out the door. Her eyes widened as she saw the eggs being loaded up.
"Nicolette stick close to me." May said summoning Mori no burēdo and snuck out. Nicolette did so hiding behind her.
Meanwhile the Chansey like monster, named Egg Smother was in the main house having seen the incubating egg. Christopher and Jeanine had seen the intruder panicked as the monster tore down the door and approached the egg.
"HEY" Smother turned to see a charging Drew who took her down with a spear. After some struggling and punching, Drew forced the monster through the window in the kitchen. Feeling his mouth and seeing a little blood he cursed. Looking back at the couple he motioned with his hands.
"Stay here keep the egg safe." Drew said as he used the door and slammed it knocking it off the hinges.
He looked through the window. "Sorry about the door." He said and went to take care of the invaders. The couple sweatdropped as he was more concerned about the door than the destruction in their living room.
Outside Drew had chased Smother to the giant egg where some of the soldiers were loading the eggs. The rest of group was fighting some of the stragglers and met up after managing to rescue a couple of the eggs.
"What's the status guys?" He called out.
"Most of the eggs have been captured." Tori said pointing to some of the eggs the rescued.
"Team Rocket is leading the attack." Ash said walking up emphasizing leading
"That giant Chansey like thing is leading the attack." May said walking up with Nicolette.
Drew nodded "Alright then." Turning to Gabby he asked her a serious question "How good's your aim." Drew said pulling
Gabby already had her bow out and taking aim trying to find a clean shot. "I got a good angle on the crane's neck. Just give the word.
"WHAT…No don't do that you're not going to shoot anything you could hit the eggs." Nicolette panicked.
Gabby sighed and lowered her bow. "Then what do we do?"
Drew smiled "The old-fashion beat them up rescue the eggs and hopefully destroy the monster before he could destroy the eggs plan." Drew said pulling out his phone making the belt materialize. The others pulled out their belts as well.
Nicolette sweatdropped "That doesn't sound much different." She then noticed the belts. "What are those?"
May turned to Nicolette, " We can beat those monsters and save the eggs, Nicolette." She said holding up her hand in her transformation pose fist clenched knuckles facing away from her face."
"How?" Nicolette asked.
"Like this." HENSHIN May called out bringing her had down to the lever to flip it open. Everyone else with Rider armors activated their gear as well
EVOLVE/COMPLETE/SIRIUS/ORION
When the light died down Nicolette was awestruck. She remembered just before the Saffron contest there was an attack on the arena that was stopped by a bunch of armored warriors. To see them in person was awe-inspiring for her.
"May?" Nicolette stuttered out.
May nodded "In this form its Kusa Kamen Rider Kusa." May said taking off to help her friends.
Orion with her knife started hack and slash through some of the soldiers as they advanced towards the group. Hacking through two of them she whipped out her bow and bent backward firing three arrows and taking out three approaching her. Grinning behind her mask she continued fighting. Meanwhile her partner in crime Sirius was swing her magic staff sending water at her opponents. Grabbing one of her cards she popped open her driver and put the card in.
Kamen Ride: U-U-Ursa Major
Now with her bear claws she could help out Gabby as the seemingly endless soldiers kept coming.
Ace blocked one of the attackers with his bo staff as he twisted his body to sweep underneath the legs of his attackers.
BLADED WIND
Keeping his staff spinning he clonked multiple troops as his staff went faster and faster eventually sending a large group of wind away from him and destroying some of them with the blades in the wind. Placing his staff on his back he got out one of the cards he borrowed and inserted it into the belt. It was Drew's Cacturne firing a bullet seed.
BULLET SEED
Taking a deep breath he fired multiple projectiles which destroyed more of them as they got up. Ace looked around and saw the others were doing okay. Turning and seeing more approached he started swung around his staff and charged again.
Brock was in the middle of three blades and was blocking with poleax. Gathering his energy in his axe he lifted the axe up and stabbed the lance end into the closest one. Swing the axe he took the other two out. Seeing more approached he gathered energy in his hand and jumped into the air.
CRATER CRASH
Crashing his fist down the earth around him lifted up and sent those around into the air. Grinning he jumped and brought down the axe on a helpless soldier. Looking around he saw the rest of the battle was going smoothly.
Zodiac and Triton were tag teaming with his sword and her trident. Triton had stabbed a couple of soldiers before ducking out of the way of a lance. Bringing her trident up she struck the lance down and broke it, one of the things a trident was designed to do. Grinning at the shocked look she quickly launched another attack.
NIAGRA RUSH
A large stream of water came out of her hands and washed the soldier in front of her and several behind away some disintegrating in the process.
Zodiac was hacking and slashing just trying to get through. Even several Fire Streams and Flame Fists couldn't get through. The endless stream of troopers made it hard as they got closer to the giant egg.
"Damn there is no end to these guys. Hope Ash and May can break through."
Ash and May were closer to the egg than everyone else but were having a hard time because they had to control their attack to not destroy the eggs. May was dancing through the opposition with her long sword. Her sword turned into a whip as her dances got more intricate and she hacked through more soldiers.
ROSE BARRAGE
Kusa called out launching several rose petals into the air that followed the motion of her sword. After a few minutes of dancing she lowered her sword and the troops she was fighting were cut down.
Meanwhile, Aura was have difficulty because his attacks were more powered based than Mays and as a result couldn't unleash as much as he wanted to.
"Damn there has to be a way to stop this thing." Aura said. Looking up he saw some sort of flash. "Team Rocket must be signaling someone." He said to himself.
Up on the crane
Team Rocket was watching with a frown. They knew that this egg mission was going to be messed up but now their allies couldn't close with harming the eggs.
"We need to help them Jess." James said worried.
"I know but the question is what to do?" Jessie said thinking. Seeing Death Smother distracted she got an idea. "James grab our flashlight." James nodded and gave her one of their flashlights.
Grabbing some duct tape she wrapped it on the crane and turned it on, letting their allies know where to attack.
Drew saw the light and turned to Gabby. "Gabby you got a clean shot we'll cover you." Drew said as he and Misty turned to their attention to protecting Gabby.
Gabby slowly breathed as she inserted the Orion drive into the finish slot
ORION: MAXIMUM DRIVE
Gabby grabbed her bow and took a deep breath. Pulling back on the string a large arrow and held in place. Aiming carefully she aim just above and a little to the left of the light.
ORION'S… GREAT…ARROW! Gabby released the shot as the arrow tore straight at the crane hitting it head on and breaking it.
The crane broke loose releasing the eggs. The machine crashed into the giant egg destroying it. The eggs though were sent flying.
Thinking quickly the riders quickly jumped into the air and grabbed three or four at a time. Nicolette was amazed at their speed as they grabbed the eggs to settle them right next to her and jumped back to grab more. After a couple of minutes almost all of the eggs were secured. May saw the last one and proceeded to jump up to get. It was at this time that Smother regained her composure.
"THOSE EGGS ARE MINE! EGG BOMB RAMPAGE!" She launched the large egg from her pouch. Unfortunately for May when she grabbed the egg she was facing the attack. Think more for the egg's safety than her own she held on tight and turned her back towards the monster. She closed her eyes waiting for the impact. She heard the explosion but was more distant that she thought. She cracked open her eyes and saw Misty was carrying her while Ash had slashed through the egg with the Raikou blade.
"You alright May." May could only nod and hold up the egg. "All of the eggs are safe." Kusa said.
"I got this don't worry Kusa." Aura said but then turned to face his opponent with a stern gaze. The monster froze as Aura looked at her. Aura simply scanned one of Pikachu's cards.
THUNDER WAVE
Launching a wave of electricity he paralyzed Smother. Aura simply took out his finishing cards as his opponent tried to beg for mercy.
"No please don't do this" Smother cried out.
Aura shook his head "You target my girls you get no mercy." Ash said in a cold voice as he finished scanning his cards.
LEAF BLADE: MAXIMUM ENERGY
THUNDERBOLT MAXIMUM ENERGY
COMBO: THUNDER BLADE
Aura let out a war cry as he charged and slashed through his opponent a visage of Raikou behind him as finished the attack.
"Game over." Ash said sheathing the blade as Smother was destroyed.
Ash walked back to Misty and May powering down as he did so.
"You okay you two?" They nodded and walked back to the rest of the group. Nicolette was amazed as her parents walked out seeing the battle was over.
"Thank you all. You saved our farm." Christopher said. "You all must be tired. We will prepare your beds hope you don't mind bunking.
Ash and Drew looked at each other and laughed as their girls blushed a little. "We don't mind at all mam."
An exhausted group collapsed later as the adrenaline wore off. Ash snuggled in with May and Misty. Drew with Tori and Gabby.
The next morning they were gathered outside as they watched one of the eggs begin to hatch. The egg kept glowing and they with a final flash it hatched revealing an adorable little Vulpix.
"Aw look at him he's so cute" Max said. The girls squealed and Ash and Drew smiled at the little kit.
"May…I would like you to have something." Christopher said. He was holding an incubator with a brown and white egg inside.
"I would like you to have this egg as a thank you gift. For saving our eggs and for giving our daughter the confidence she needed."
May nodded and took the egg. Smiling she and the rest of the group were excited at what egg could contain.
Two days later
The group was camping near Lavender Town. With their progress they would hopefully be in town some time the next day.
Sitting around the fire eating their dinner after another training session they were talking about random things to different people.
May having finished went back to cuddling her egg. "I can't wait for you to hatch. I wonder what you're going to be. Either way you are going to have a lot of parental love. Yes you will." May say hugging it close to her chest getting smiles from everyone.
Ash though starting thinking about something. "Hey guys." Getting everyone's attention. "Something really weird has been going on since we started the Battle Frontier."
Getting questioning looks from Misty asked her boyfriend "What kind of things Ash?"
Ash looked up at the night sky. It was beautiful in his opinion no clouds and the moon was missing. "Let's see, the most recent thing was at the Silver Town contest. May was completing her routine and we were applauding. All of a sudden, I wasn't in the contest hall I was in some sort of grand ballroom and May had finished a performance with everyone applauding.
The group's eyes had widened. "And when did this start." Drew said.
Ash closed his eyes in thought. "Maybe around Petalburg but it start picking up when we started the frontier."
Drew leaned back "Alright raise your hands if something like this has happened to you." To his shock only Brock kept his hand down. "Alright I'll start, back at the mansion we were dancing with the psychic types I saw all of us in some sort of regal wear in a big dance. I felt like I was in a trance.
He pointed at Gabby who started speaking "Sometimes we are walking and all of sudden we would be in some sort of carriage waving at the people."
Tori spoke next "I see sometimes see ourselves in a grand room when we stop for the night not dancing but socializing with other people.
Max spoke. "Whenever I fall asleep I feel like I am flying on my own not because it's a dream right before I start doing some dream training.
Misty picked up after Max "When we were at the Battle Arena I saw us older and looked ready to spar with each other. I was forced to shake my head to get it out of my head. Although the older Ash is handsome. " Misty said with a blush. "Glad to know you like my older self" Ash said with a blush of his own as he wrapped an arm around Misty.
May spoke last "It was at the hatchery. I was reaching out to touch the eggs when I suddenly found myself in a nursery. I saw in a cradle in front of me two kids. One with brown hair and…one with black hair." Causing May and her partners to blush.
Drew sighed "So what do you think is happening."
Brock having not experienced it had an idea. "You said that you are descendants of these princes and knights right? Maybe these memories are being awakened as some sort of reincarnation."
The group fell into silence at that sentence. Were these reincarnated memories or something else?
Max broke the awkward silence with a loud yawn.
"Alright we will figure this out later. Bed time guys." Drew said climbing into his sleeping bag Gabby climbed in as she and Tori had agreed to split time sleeping in his sleeping bag. Tori was sleeping nearby though
Ash and Misty were getting ready as well when they looked over to May who was still cuddling the egg. Looking at each other and nodding the brought their sleeping bag over to her.
"May why don't you get in first." Misty said pointing to the bag. May nodded putting the egg down and taking off her shoes and bandana. Climbing in she saw Ash pick up her egg and bringing it over.
"I think the egg will enjoy her mother's warmth." Ash said with a smile and gently putting it in her hand. May teared up a little as Ash snuggled in. "I think three parents would help too." Ash said getting close to May and Misty snuck in right next to her. Misty created a water ball and tossed it at the fire putting it out. Snuggling in she kissed May on the check and wrapped an arm around her egg which was on her stomach joining with Ash's hand and falling into a gentle sleep.
May looked at both of her partners and smiled. Her last thoughts before sleeping were 'Regardless of destiny or reincarnation I have my prince and princess right here. Whatever is in the egg will be loved a whole lot' she thought before falling asleep as well.
The next morning at sunrise the earth trio were the first ones up. Looking over to see their counterparts they saw a sappy sight. All three were smiling, snuggling around the egg keeping it warm.
"It's almost like they are married already." Tori said with her hand on her cheek.
"It would be a shame to wake them. So I will settle with a picture." Gabby giggled evilly and took a picture with her camera.
The camera click woke them up. Looking around Ash was the first one cognizant and saw three with wide grins on their faces, Gabby having the camera in her hands. They laughed at the sleepy expressions until a large ball of water soaked them. Turning over he saw Misty with a grumpy ticked off expression.
"Cough…okay…note to self…Misty isn't a morning person. Alright let's get up and have a light workout. I want to be in Lavender town today.
The two in the sleeping bag nodded and shook May awake. After a light workout which somehow ended up with Max in a tree and clothes singed they were on their way..
A few hours later they finally arrived at Lavender Town.
"Lavender Town. Sure brings back memories. I remember I was here ghost hunting for my fight with Sabrina. Somehow I ended up a ghost as well." Ash said. He heard sniffling. Turning around he saw Misty barreling over him and hugging the life out of him. "I thought I lost you then. Don't do that I was so… s…scared." Ash just hugged her and tried to soothe the crying red head."
Drew sighed "I remember that episode. Quite honestly some of that was funny. But looking at from your viewpoint I can see why it was so bad Misty." Ash had finally calmed the red head down. The group started walking but Drew stopped.
"What's wrong Drew?"
"I forgot to do this. FINALLY" He was cut off by a large gust of wind that sent him into a house.
"Not now." Max grumbled. Turning around he saw that Tori, Ash and Gabby had score cards. Gabby and Ash had Tens Tori had a 9.5.
"So glad my pain is amusing." Drew said quickly recovering and standing next to the group.
Just then they heard a car squealing its tires appeared out of nowhere and stopped in front of them almost hitting them. They recognized it as Scott's car.
The rotund man turned off the car and stepped out. "Hi there boys you ready for your next challenge."
"You bet Scott." Ash said. Drew nodded. "Great. Just one little thing out of all seven Frontier Brains, Tucker is a showman. So there will be a press conference for the both of you.
"Wait…What?" Ash stuttered as the larger man somehow grabbed both of them and pulled them down the road.
The rest of the group sweatdropped as they followed quickly afterwards.
They reached a large dome like building that they assume was the Battle Dome. Scott ushered them to a side door as their friends caught up to them and followed them inside.
A few minutes later Scott was walking out to a packed conference room.
"Alright ladies and gentleman, the two challengers for the Battle Dome are here. Please give a warm welcome to Ash and Drew." Scott said clapping along with the group of reporters.
Ash and Drew walked out and waved to the crowd. They sat down, with Ash on the reporter's right and Drew to their left.
"Okay we are now open to questions." Scott said and the reporters started raising their hands. Scott pointed to a woman on their right.
"Mariah from the Lavender Spook. How many Frontier symbols do you both have."
Ash answered this with much enthusiasm "We each have two. We each saw the other's fight so we have two wins so far."
Scott nodded and pointed at a man in the front "Jackson from the Saffron Press. How did you too meet?"
Drew answered this one "Me and my companions happen to be crossing the desert near Mauville City in Hoenn when we got caught up in the Mirage Kingdom mess. We helped them save the kingdom and have been traveling together ever since."
Scott was intrigued at that story and wanted asked them that but he kept silent. He pointed to another one.
"Jason from Kanto Times. What kind of pokémon are you going to use?"
Ash answered first "It will depend on the pokémon our opponent uses but don't be surprised if my Pikachu makes an appearance.
Drew responded "Likewise but I think my Haryiama will probably make an appearance."
One more question Scott pointed to a woman in the back. "So how did you scout Tucker did you watch lots of tape.
Ash chuckled sheepishly "To be honest until our "manager" mentioned we never heard of him." This horrified the crowd but Drew calmed them down. "What my front is trying to say is that we haven't been in town to watch a lot of Tucker's matches and we have been traveling a lot so we haven't been able to scout him."
Scott motioned for them to get up as the cameras started flashing. They left the conference room with the reporters still buzzing.
In a dressing room Team Rocket was styling Tucker's hair. Having finished the job they all left the room and headed towards one end of the arena. Meanwhile at the other end of the Dome Drew was talking with a technician. Having found out Tucker wanted a show he wanted to spice up his and Ash's entrance a bit so he handed him his IPod. The technician nodded and went to set up their entrance.
Now standing in front of the entrance Drew and Ash were waiting for their cue. Misty and May came over and kissed Ash on the lips for luck. Tori and Gabby walked over to Drew.
"Nervous?" Tori asked concerned.
"Nah. Why do you ask?" Drew said.
Gabby pointed to his hand which was shaking "Your nervous twitch is acting up."
Drew looked at it and it stopped. "Sorry." Tori walked up to him and kissed him "Just do a good job alright."
Gabby did the same thing "We are going to be the loudest cheers in the audience. Good luck." Drew watched their group leave. He turned to Ash "Ready?" His companion nodded "As I will ever be."
On the battlefield the Dome announcer introduced the competitors. "Ladies and Gentleman. Welcome to this Battle Dome home of Dome Ace Tucker. The following match is for the Tactics symbol.
A large trumpet sounded as Tucker flew in from the rafters with sparks trailing behind him. "Introducing the Frontier Brain. He is the Dome Ace" Here Tucker landed on the platform as pyro set off around the stage. "TUCKER" and the crowd went hysterical.
Tucker turned towards the stage entrance wondering how his opponents were going to enter.
"Now introducing his opponents. First from Pallet Town he is the Ever Grande Champion and considered by many to be among the best in Kanto he is Ash Ketchum. His partner comes from Oakland and boasts an impressive KO and win record while finishing runner-up to Ash at the Ever Grande Conference he is Drew Smith.
Smoke started to billow onto the stage covering where the trainers are coming from. A loud voice sounded at the same time as a guitar played.
WHOA WHOA
An image of Ash was shown with a serious look.
A couple seconds of anticipation occurred as the voice sounded again showing Drew in his stance was shown. Then a keyboard started playing as the music built up. The smoke start to simmer down revealing two figures one kneeling one standing.
(Play Bon Jovi It's My life. If you can't tell by now I love the group Bon Jovi)
This Ain't A Song for the Broken hearted
The smoke revealed that Drew was kneeling and Ash standing.
Saying A prayer for faith departed
The two looked up towards the stage and the slowly lifted their heads in time with the beats.
I ain't gonna be a face in the crowd
Going to hear my voice when I shout it out loud
At the two stomps Ash jumped up and Drew swung his right fist down.
ITS MY LIFE and it's now or never
I Ain't Going to live forever
At the moment of Ash hitting the ground Pyros went off. They started getting fired up as the high fived the crowd along the walkway.
I Just Want to Live While I'm Alive
It's My Life
My Heart is Open Highway
Like Frankie said I did it My Way
I Just want to live while I'm alive
Its. My. Lifeeee"
The guitar picked up as they slide into the arena. The solo reverberated through the arena as they stood up as they stood side to side with Drew crossing his arms in two fists while Ash keeled to the ground
Better Stand Tall, he's calling you out
Don't Bend, Don't Break, Baby Don't back down
At the pick-up Ash jumped back as Drew slammed the ground and let out a roar as pyros went off.
IT"S MY LIFE ITS NOW OR NEVER
Drew turned to Ash and grabbed his hand
"You ready man." He said to Ash. "Let's win this one." He said back. As the song faded away the crowd was still cheering the music.
Tucker clapped his hands "Marvelous entrance you two. But it will take more than a good entrance to beat me." He held out hand with two gold pins. "These are the Tactics symbols. Beat me and these are yours. Now the rules it will be two on two. I will use two pokémon you two are allowed one each. This will test working with different pokémon than your own.
The two nodded and went back to their corners. Tucker took the initiative to released his first two pokémon. It was a Swampert and Arcanine. The duo discussed who to go with. After some conversation Drew's hat was removed and it somehow found Gabby's head. Ash did the same thing and it landed on Misty's head pretty accurately. Adjusting their gloves they nodded at each other and Drew grabbed a ball off the right side of his belt while Ash grabbed one off the left side. Holding them out they expanded the balls and tossed them out.
"Let's Ride Haryiama."
"Swellow I choose you."
Tucker nodded and the ref signaled the match to begin.
"Swellow use Quick Attack on Arcanine." "Haryiama follow him with Tackle." Swellow charged in with the lumbering sumo pokémon right behind him.
"Swampert use Protect, Arcanine behind him." The two attacks hit the green protective shield harmlessly bouncing off.
"Now Arcanine into the air and use Flamethrower." Arcanine spring boarded off of Swampert and launched Arcanine into the air. The large fired a hot stream at the two opponents.
"Haryiama in front of Swellow block the flames." Haryiama was quick to block the attack. "Swellow Quick Attack on Swampert." Ash called out. Swellow quickly sped out from behind and charged behind into the air.
"Arcanine intercept with Aerial Ace." To the challenger's surprise Arcanine was able to keep up with Swellow and they collided sending them both back. Drew saw his chance "Haryiama use Rock Smash on Arcanine." Haryiama attempted to hit Arcanine but Swampert was quick to block it with Protect.
Up in the stands Brock was observing the battle closely. "It seems like Swampert is the defense of the team while Arcanine is the offense." He said over the sound of the crowd as Swampert launched a Mud Shot after Arcanine feinted towards them and hit Haryiama while Arcanine took down Swellow.
Scott piped at this point. "Tucker is all about the show but he is the wielder of the tactics symbol. He is surprisingly intelligent when it comes to this."
May was happy at the match "This is just like a contest with all the great moves."
Tori though had a thought "Wait you said this is a show right?" At Scott's nod both she and Gabby facepalmed.
Gabby was the first to respond to their questioning. "Remember Drew's behavior when he faced Noland. Well that sport we talked about has a huge event every year and unfortunately you provided the ingredients for Drew's imagination to run wild."
"Translation I think Tucker is about to get steamrolled." Tori said motioning to the field.
On the field Haryiama and Swellow had recovered. Ash looked on to figure out what to do. Looking over to see Drew he gulped when he saw his smile get wider.
Arcanine charged in with a Flame Wheel as Haryiama stood still.
"Haryiama Spine buster."
Haryiama grabbed a surprised Arcanine and lifted him and quickly dropped the large dog on his back. The yelp of surprise caught the crowd as they realized he used an unknown move. Arcanine got up and saw Haryiama staring him down like he was beneath him.
Up in the stands Gabby sighed "Great it's Triple H." At the questioning looks she continued "he's arrogant king like character who is rumored to have married the chairmen of his company's daughter in real life. But he's really good at technical skills despite his age."
In the ring Swellow was fighting off Swampert as the mudfish prepared a Water Pulse and launched it at Swellow. Swellow dodged it as he and Haryiama switched targets.
"Haryiama use Focus Punch on Swampert." "Swampert use Dynamicpunch to counter that." The two fists glowed and they collided in a large cloud of smoke. Haryiama was pushed back and had its knee on the ground.
"Arcanine use Flamethrower on Swellow." "Swellow use Double Team quick." Swellow did so but the flames increased with Fire Blast and hit Swellow. The attack launched Swellow into Haryiama and knocked them both down. The impact weakened them and many thought they were going to be switched out. To everyone's surprise Drew started pounding the platform yelling for Haryiama to get up. He did so with surprising quickness and flexibility along with Swellow who gave out a war cry.
"We need to figure out a strategy to beat these two Drew." Ash called out.
"You don't think I know that?" Drew snapped. He calmed down. "Sorry. Heat of the moment."
Looking back onto the field he got a desperate idea.
"Ash have Swellow stand back to back with Haryiama." Ash looked at him like he was crazy, which he probably was.
"Don't look at me like that. When I say so tell Swellow to fly straight-up." Drew said and nodded to Haryiama who stood his ground. Ash nodded to Swellow and he landed behind Haryiama in the center.
Tucker laughed "You naïve fools. You are not worth of this symbol. Swampert use Dynamic Punch, Arcanine use Extreme Speed.
Arcanine quickly sped around towards Swellow who was staring down at Arcanine. Swampert was quickly closing in on Haryiama who was in his battle stance.
'Wait...for it' Drew thought and then saw the opening. 'NOW' "ASH DO IT"
"SWELLOW FLY STRAIGHT UP WITH QUICK ATTACK" Ash called out. Swellow quickly flapped his wings and barely dodged out of the way.
"HARYIAMA BEND BACK" Drew called out. With surprising flexibility the large sumo pokémon bent back letting the Dynamic punch sail into Arcanine who was going too fast to stop and the Dynamic Punch hit large dog and sent into the side of arena. This whipped the crowd into a frenzy.
"What…how?" Tucker stuttered.
"Haven't finished quite yet Tucker. Haryiama Focus Punch." Drew said pulling his right hand back and launching a fist across his body. At the same time Haryiama twisted his body and landed the glowing fist right into Swampert sending them into the canvas. He wasn't knocked out but he was not going to be a factor for a while.
Drew turned to Ash. "Let's take care of Arcanine first. Tell your Swellow to land in front of Haryiama and fold his wings."
Ash nodded "Swellow you heard the man." The bird nodded and landed as directed.
"Now pick up Swellow swing him around and throw him with Vital throw. When Swellow is launched have him use Aerial Ace." Ash nodded as Haryiama grabbed Swellow gently and started spinning around.
After a few spins Drew gave the order. "Release him now Haryiama." With a grunt Swellow was launched at a high speed.
"Now Swellow Aerial Ace." Ash called out. Swellow's enhanced speed powered up the Aerial Ace and slammed into Arcanine. The impact knocked the larger dog out. Swellow flew up as the ref declared Arcanine out.
Swampert by this point had staggered to his feet by this point. Looking up it saw its friend knocked out he looked and saw the big sumo pokémon standing tall.
"Swampert get out of there quickly." Swampert tried to stagger away but Haryiama managed to grab him.
"Ready for the finish Ash." Drew called out. Ash nodded and called out to Swellow "Swellow come around again and use Aerial Ace." "Haryiama lifted him up in a powerbomb."
Swellow charged in as Haryiama grabbed Swampert and lifted him high in the air. Swellow nailed Swampert in the stomach. At the same time Haryiama dropped him back first to the floor. The combined impact knocked him out.
"Swampert is unable to battle. Both of Dome Ace Tucker's Pokémon are unable to battle. The winner is the team of Ash and Drew."
"ALRIGHT WE DID IT" Ash started cheering as their entrance song played over the sound system. Drew was pounding their platform as he couldn't contain his excitement. He turned towards Ash who took the opportunity to give him a bro hug.
Meanwhile Tucker was beyond pleased even though he lost as he returned his pokémon.
Walking over to the two as they were celebrating, he spoke over the loud noise. "You two an amazing job. Those tactics were superb." Tucker said walking away.
"Wait. Where's are symbols?" Ash called out.
Tucker waved it off "Check your pockets." Tucker said finally out of earshot.
The two checked their pockets and sure enough their symbols were in their pockets.
"How did…"
"Don't rack your brain Ash." Drew said. Just then Ash was hit by an orange blur slammed into Ash. Catching his footing he spun Misty who was smiling and laughing and kissed him when they stopped.
Tori walked up to Drew more sedately and kissed him.
"You guys did awesome." Tori said smiling.
The rest of the group walked over and clapped. The rest of the crowd was cheering over the song. They went into their victory poses at the final words showing that pokémon training is their life.
ITS. MY. LIFE
Two Days Later
With their Battle Dome adventure over Ash and friends were now on their way to the Battle Pike which was located outside Fuchsia City. Rather than go directly south from Lavender Town to Fuchsia.
Rather than go directly south from Lavender Town to Fuchsia they decided to cut across to Vermillion City and up to Celadon City where they would take the bike path down.
The group was now approaching the cycling road and was stopping to get water and energy drinks for the road.
Misty was checking the bags to make sure there were enough supplies while Tori was checking the bike.
The red head sighed which caught the attention of the long haired brunette.
"What you thinking about?" Tori asked walking over.
Misty looked at her blue bike with a carrying basket on it. Azuril was already in and was looking at her mother figure with beady eyes.
"Oh just thinking about how a bike was the reason I met the love of my life. Hard to believe when I pulled Ash out and took my bike I would end up in so many adventures with him."
Tori giggled at Misty's expression which was a far-off happy look. The giggling snapped the red head out of her thoughts.
"Sorry, but the thought of both of Ash's girl meeting him because of a bike is too funny." Tori said smiling.
Misty giggled too "If I didn't know better I swear Pikachu is the matchmaker. I bet that Pikachu will zap another girl's bike and somehow falls in love with him."
(Somewhere in a far-off region, a blue-haired girl sneezed. Said girl went back to reading contest magazines.)
The two girls laughed at the joke.
"What's so funny girls?" Drew called as he and Ash walked over with their bikes.
"Oh nothing just remembering how a little kid crashed into my life." Misty said then tapped her chin. "I wonder where that little kid is. Oh well I guess I will settle for this growing man." Misty said wrapping an arm around Ash and kissing his cheek. Drew smiled as he walked up to Tori and Gabby who walked over.
"That is a cute sight isn't" Tori said. Drew sighed "Yeah." Then surprising the two girls he wrapped an arm around them. "I want to thank you two." Drew said.
"What for?" Gabby asked from his right.
"For getting me to open up. Emotions and social skills are still difficult for me because of my condition. But you got me to at least know I have some special people." Drew said hugging them a little tighter. The girls smiled at that and kissed his cheek.
Looking up he noticed some people missing. "Where's May and Brock?"
Looking around the assembled group had to sigh as Brock was hitting on the bike rental lady while Max was dragging him away by the ear. May was still picking out a bike.
"Strange friends we have there Ash?" Drew deadpanned not even looking at Ash.
"Yep. Wouldn't trade them." Ash drawled out.
After waiting a few minutes the whole group was finally assembled to leave.
"Can we go now we have been waiting forever?" Gabby asked a little impatiently atop her gold bike.
The rest of the group nodded and started riding.
They hadn't gotten far onto the bridge when they ran into trouble. Drew was humming a few bars of a song that fit while the rest were enjoying the scenery. They heard a distinct sound of motors coming up behind them. The motors quickly got louder and caught up to group.
A group of bikers surrounded the biking group and were forced to stop their bikes. They dismounted their bikes and reacting differently to the situation. Max and May were looking nervous at the gangsters, Brock and Tori had a neutral expression, Drew Ash and Misty looked ready to fight and Gabby looked like she was ready to hit someone.
Drew decided to open diplomacy "Can we help you gentlemen?"
The apparent leader walked up to them. "Yeah we regret to inform you of the bridge's closure due to the fact that we won't let you."
Ash growled and stepped up to confront the leader. "Look mister this is a free bridge you can't exactly keep this bridge closed this is an important link between these two cities. If you aren't going to let us go, then we will bust through." Ash said getting into his fighting stance. The leader turned to respond but then he stopped as a look of recognition crossed his face.
"Awesome Ash?" Looking at Misty he recognized the red head as well "Mighty Misty?"
Ash and Misty looked confused at their names. Then Misty had a realization.
"Wait only a couple of people called us that. It was that bridge gang led by Chopper and Tyra. Chopper is that you?"
The now named Chopper laughed "Oh man it has been forever since I saw you guys. You guys stand down they are alright." Chopper said to his crew. The surrounding gang members backed off as Chopper walked over to shake his hand. At the same time the bystanders with the exception of Brock who was there when they got the nicknames were watching this with confusion
"Awesome Ash?" Drew asked turned towards Misty
"Mighty Misty?" May asked doing the same thing.
Misty blushed a little bit at their gaze. "During our first trip through Kanto we had to deliver medicine for a very sick pokémon. This group stopped us and we had to battle them. Chopper faced Ash with a Golem and lost to Charmander. I faced this girl named Tyra who had a Cloyster with my Psyduck, even though I wanted Starmie." Misty grumbled. "Anyway Team Rocket got mixed up in it and in a nasty storm we had to jump the raised bridge to reach the other side. They gave us our nicknames because of that and the fact we risked our lives for a pokémon like that." (This was episode 36 of the first season. Man I feel old)
May gasped at the story while Drew sighed. "You guys have done insane things haven't you?" The boy asked.
"Don't remind me I don't think my heart can take this stress." Then Misty noticed someone missing.
"Chopper where's Tyra?"
Chopper looked at Misty and his face turned solemn. "I think we need to find a place to talk." Chopper said looking at Ash.
A few minutes later they were in a warehouse that Chopper's gang used as a base for their activities.
Chopper sighed "I don't know where to begin. But I can trust you with this."
Ash who was leaning against a box next to Drew who was atop of the same box. "From the beginning would be nice."
Chopper looked up at the dimly lit ceiling "I guess it was about…a week and half ago.
We were doing our own thing cruising through cities helping people out. You really set us straight Ash. So were riding around and we start heading up the bridge between Fuchsia and Celadon when we smelled smoke."
Legal Flashback: Chopper POV
"These pokémon are in trouble we need to help them. You four get your water pokémon out. Tyra get the rest of the gang to help the pokémon out." I called out. We had sent someone to call the fire department and we were attempting to save as many as we could. Me and Tyra were able to get some of them out and we were about to leave when a tree branch weaken by the fire. I saw it about to hit Tyra.
"TYRA!" Tyra looked up and she screamed. I ran and I was about to take the hit when a green shield came over us. I opened my eyes and I saw this little green fairy blocking the tree which fell away.
Before we could thank the little green bundle it fainted and Tyra caught her. She carried the little pokémon to the local center and we had Nurse Joy look at her. It was hurt worse than we thought and would have to stay a couple of days in the hospital. Over that time we watched over it. When it woke up it was at first skittish of us. Tyra though was undeterred and after a few hours the little girl as Nurse Joy told us it was a girl was flying around like a happy child.
Here Chopper sighed as he prepared to say the next part.
On the day the pokémon was due to be released the center was attacked. These soldiers stormed the center. They said they were after the pokémon we were protecting. We attempted to fight back but we were quickly defeated. This green cactus like monster then grabbed Tyra and the pokémon we were saving.
"TYRA! Let her Go!" I yelled to him and tried to attacked the leader. But it just used its vines and nearly choked me to death. He then gave me an ultimatum.
"I like your attitude but insurrection is something I will not tolerate. You care for this girl a lot don't you? Well do as I say and I won't hurt her much." He said letting me go.
I caught my breath and looked to Tyra. She yelled "Don't do it I'm not worth it."
I looked to her and calmly said "It's because your worth it that I am doing this." I turned to the monster "What do you want me to do?"
Flashback end
"He told us to prevent people from using this road. You guys happened to be the third group we tried to turn back." Chopper sighed "You know we were hoping to go from a biker gang to a heroic posse like those Kamen Riders we keep seeing." He said looking down not noticing his companions look at each other.
Drew had a thoughtful look on his face "It seems our enemy is intent on attacking economic targets. From the map I have seen this is an important bypass and truck route between Celadon and Fuchsia."
Ash had a memory flash. "I remember during the first time we through this road there was a drawbridge. That would imply this is a shipping lane right?"
Drew nodded "That is correct. If they can't beat them by force then beat them by submission."
May was looking through her pokédex for the pokémon they were talking about.
"It was a green pokémon right?" May asked the group to which she got a nod. Brock chimed in "That implies it's a grass type but it's a very common type we need another description."
Gabby then pointed out something "Didn't Chopper say something about pushing that tree out of the way. With its size that should be impossible."
Here Tori picked up what Gabby was implying "Unless it was a type that can move stuff without hands. It's a psychic type May."
May input the two types. The pokédex pulled up a green fairy like creature with big blue eyes.
"Is this it Chopper?" May said flipping her pokédex around.
Chopper widened his eyes. "That's it what is it?
May pressed the button and Dexdette started speaking Celebi, the Time Travel Pokémon. Celebi wanders across time as guardian of the forest. Wherever it appears, trees and grass flourish.
Drew widened his eyes and jumped of the box. "Time? Forest Guardian?" He turned to Chopper. "Where is your base we need to go now?"
"Whoa what the heck Drew?" Ash called out.
Drew turned to address his friends. "Celebi goes across time to protect the forest. Gabby you have seen enough sci-fi films and shows with me what happens when something in the past is changed?"
Gabby pondered "If you change something in the past, wouldn't…the future…be changed?" Gabby realized with horror.
Drew nodded "What are the chances they are after Celebi for her time travel capabilities and possibly her powers over the forest?
The group realized what they were dealing with. Max voiced their concerns. "Their main target isn't the bridge they just don't want anyone to find out. He's hoping to torture Celebi into submission.
"Or brainwash her. We got to go now." May realized and they all started running towards their bikes.
'Hang on Tyra we are coming.' Chopper said revving up his bike to quickly head down the main road.
Where Celebi and Tyra are been kept
Big Vine, the Carnivine like monster was growling. For the past two days his minions were trying to break the thick foliage that popped up when he attempted to brainwash Celebi.
Flashback two days ago
"VINE WHIP." Big vine yelled and fired at the fairy like pokémon. Celebi cried out in pain.
"This could all be over Celebi just help us out with our little plan." Big Vine told the time traveler.
Tyra who was watching from nearby tied up just looked on with tears in her eyes. "Stop it please! Celebi doesn't deserve this!"
Vine only snarled and lashed out a vine at her causing her to flinch. "You will not speak vermin. I don't know why you humans are adamant about protecting something that isn't yours. I would be more concerned about yourself as I am sure you know the consequences of when your boyfriend fails.
"He's not my boyfriend. And don't you mean if. Chopper will do what you asked him of." Tyra said defensively.
Big Vine chuckled. "He can only do so much before the authorities round him up. Then let's just say I hope you have said your prayers." The chuckling then grew into a full belly laughter as he placed Celebi in her cell and then left.
Tyra fell to the floor and started to cry. 'What if he's right? Chopper…please be okay.'
Celebi saw the tears and tried to fly towards Tyra but the cell shocked her."
Tyra looked up with puffy eyes. "Celebi don't try to hurt yourself it's going to be okay." She said trying to reassure Celebi and herself.
Celebi who recovered a little bit gave her a curious cry. Tyra turned away blushing a little bit. "Chopper he has gone through so much for me. When we were starting this gang we were all we had. We ran away from home and we had to rely on each other. We didn't care what happened to anyone else as long as our group was safe. At least until this kid and his friends helped him. We call them Awesome Ash and Mighty Misty because they were as crazy as us to save a pokémon that wasn't even theirs. It was because of those two we changed our ways.
Here Tyra folded up her legs and started crying again. "Over time I fell for Chopper but I never could express my feelings. We were so close to leaving this business of a biker gang and going to a legit profession. Now we could lose everything." Tyra started balling her eyes out. Celebi looked at her and struggled to reach her paw out.
Tyra saw this "You want me to touch your paw." Celebi nodded and spoke some more. "You want me to merge with you?" Tyra asked skeptically. Celebi nodded and spoke one more time. "Only temporarily until we are rescued?" Celebi nodded. "Alright if it means sticking it to that big mouth then let's go." Tyra said reaching her hand out and barely touched their hands together. A bright green light shone and spread through the facility.
Big Vine who was watching his men set up computers next to the warehouse they were using as their base. They noticed the green flash and then felt the ground rumble. Before they could respond large thorny vines uprooted their operation and destroyed about thirty members of his force. Big vine and about eighty others were able to get out of the way before the building was consumed by vines.
Flashback end
Now it was two days since his team was unceremoniously dumped out of their base. They have tried three times including this time to unsuccessfully break through the vines and now he was getting frustrated at their progress. He lost about eight or nine troops on this attack and was down to about fifty, a considerable force considering no one could oppose them. But he heard his master warn about these Kamen Riders that could show up any time. He growled as he had to come up with another plan to break through.
In the dome Tyra was giggling at their failed attempts. Currently merged with Celebi she had white fairy wings and her green hair was darker than her normal hair along with slightly green skin that looked good on her. Her wrists and ankles were adorned with flowers and her outfit was a form fitting green dress that went from her collar bone to her knees. She flew around and landed on the ground. Instantly her feet grew roots and implanted herself into the ground. She sighed in this form she just loved feeling the earth through her feet. "This power is amazing. Celebi thank you." In her mind she heard Celebi happily saying its name. "Now if only Chopper could see me. I bet he would be all over me." She giggled and then sighed "Chopper please come soon." She said as the flower bud closed over her.
Outside the dome in a forest, Brock was viewing the dome through a pair of binoculars. "Look at this guys." Brock called to the rest of the group. Misty took a look through hers. "Looks like some sort of giant vine like structure. Either we are too late and they are moving out."
"Or Celebi activated a defense mechanism." Drew said.
Misty looked further down. "Looks like it's the latter look" Misty pointed to a group of soldiers milling about and a giant green monster was giving out orders. "We need to split up Chopper go with Ash, Misty, Tori, and May try to find a way inside. Max you me Gabby and Brock will take care of the soldiers let's go."
The group nodded and split up to do their assigned tasks.
Ash's group
They were sneaking around the woods and were approaching the imposing structure.
"Where do you think Tyra is?" Chopper said.
"Don't know and if you don't shut up we will get caught." Tori hissed.
Ash and Misty looked and saw no individual entrance.
"How are going to get in?" Ash pondered.
"We could use Torkal but I don't think he has the power." Misty said.
"Well then what do we do Mist?" Ash said as they started trading ideas.
Drew's group
They snuck into the camp and stealthily took their position. As they were getting ready, Max suddenly felt the urge to sneeze. Gabby who was with him slapped a hand over his mouth and sighed. Then they heard a large sneeze. They groaned when the soldier's attention was picked up.
She quickly fired two arrows hitting one in the back and Max took down the other.
Gabby marched over to Drew who was holding off two others while Brock was trying to bust through three.
"YOU AND YOUR ALLERGIES!" Gabby yelled parrying with her combat knife.
"SORRY! I CAN"T HELP IT" Drew said kicking another away.
In the dome Tyra was feeling the fighting going on.
"Oh that's the rescue party. I wonder if I can help them." Looking at another side she gasped when she saw Chopper.
"Chopper your back. Celebi open up a path for them." Celebi nodded and let out a cry.
Outside the dome Ash and Misty were still arguing about what to do and Tori was trying to placate them. Chopper was getting more and more frustrated at the arguing.
May though was on the sidelines watching this. Hearing something she saw an opening open up in the dome.
"Guys?" May called out but they were still arguing. "Guys!" May called out again. Getting frustrated she launched a Razor Leaf at the bickering duo.
"Ow May what was that for?" Ash said with cuts in his clothing. Tori quickly healed the cuts and Misty had a mock hurt expression as the cuts healed.
"I couldn't get your attention otherwise. Anyway look." They all saw the opening and being suspicious they took out their weapons.
"Whoa where did you get those?" Chopper asked.
"Not now Chopper come on." They proceeded to head into the dome.
After about fifteen minutes of walking they came to what appeared to be the center. They saw a giant flower in the middle of the room. As they approached the flower slowly opened."
(Play the Fairy fountain theme)
When the flower opened they were shocked. They saw Tyra slowly open her eyes and it had tears in them.
"Chopper…you're ok." Tyra said slowly walking over.
"Tyra is that you?" Chopper asked as he walked over to embrace her.
"Like it I had a little chat with Celebi and she and I had the same goal of beating these guys." Tyra said. "You like it?" She said as her face took on a rosy hue.
Chopper chuckled sheepishly. "Baby you couldn't more beautiful. I thought you looked good but this is amazing."
Then he had a thoughtful look "Why do this Tyra why go through all of this?"
Tyra looked up to him and asked "Why did you put your life and your freedom on the line for me?"
They both had the realization and looked away. "I guess we were both idiots." Chopper said. Tyra just giggled at that and leaned up to kiss him. Chopper quickly reciprocated as the vines and flowers around him started giving off pollen.
Off to the side the group just smiled with Ash and his girls arm in arm. Tori looked around and gasped slightly.
"Guys look." She said. The couplings looked up and saw that the vines were slowly disintegrating turning into pollen and seeds for a new forest.
"Wow. How beautiful." May said in awe.
Outside the dome (End Music)
The group was still fighting off the troops while Big Vine finally took the battle. He was keeping Gabby and Drew at bay with vines and bullets while his minions were busy fighting of Max and Brock. Gabby was firing arrows while Drew was forced on the defensive. Just then the group noticed that the dome was collapsing. Big Vine noticed this and turned to see the vines disappearing. When it disappeared they saw their friends off to the side and Chopper kissing some sort of fairy.
"Hey you think that's Tyra?" Max called out with a lull in the fighting.
"WOW! TYRA IS SO BEAUTIFUL OW!" Brock yelled out until Max pulled his ear.
Over with the kissing duo they separated and smiled at each other. All of sudden Tyra was grabbed by two vines and Chopper was attacked by another set of vines. Chopper recovered but saw his best friend in the arms of his enemy.
"TYRA!" Chopper cried out.
"YEHHAHAHA! You betrayed me now say good bye to your girlfriend here." Big Vine said as he constructed his vines into a motorcycle and took off with ten others biker soldiers following. "Now to take you somewhere to separate you from Celebi. You might not live though Hahahaha!"
"CHOPPER HELP ME!" Tyra Screamed from the back of the bike as they took off.
Chopper growled and ran over to his bike that his former employer kept from him. There happened to be two other bikes. Drew and Ash looked at each other and nodded and ran towards the bikes.
"Ash what are you doing?" Misty called out.
"Drew Are YOU INSANE! YOU DON"T KNOW HOW TO RIDE ONE!" Gabby called out.
Ash just put his belt on while Drew pulled out his phone.
STANDBY LEO
"I have to do this Mist. I'll be back I promise. Besides you saw what he did and besides we realized something. Kamen riders need a ride" Ash said. Flipping the belt buckle he yelled out HENSHIN
EVOLVE
"Sorry Gabby but I got to agree with Ash. Although when we thought about this we didn't think how crazy this was." Drew said as he did the same thing swiping his phone and placed it into the belt.
HENSHIN
COMPLETE
With both Zodiac and Aura in their gear, their bikes changed. Ash's turned into a blue Honda bike with yellow lightning bolts on it, while Zodiac's turned into a red and gold Suzuki with a lion's head on it.
Chopper looked amazed "So you are the Kamen Riders huh. Never thought it would be you. That just makes you more Awesome Ash.
"Enough talking, time to save your girlfriend Chopper." Ash said.
Chopper grinned. "Can you keep up is the question?"
They all smiled and revved their engines, though it was with some difficulty considering this was Ash and Drew's first time on a bike, and proceeded to charge ahead.
Misty had tears in her eyes and pounding the ground. "Why…Why do I have to fall in love with a fool who is going to get himself killed?"
May hugged her "I guess it's true, only fools fall in love. I guess we fell in love with the same fool huh?" May said with tears in her eyes as Misty turned into her embrace.
Heading towards the bridge
Aura, Zodiac and Chopper were catching up to the fleeing group. They got up to the trailing two bikers. Zodiac got to the inside of one of the bikers. He took out his sword and stuck it in the back wheel. The biker was sent flying and disintegrated and the bike crashed and blew up.
Ash pulled up to another one and got into a quick sword fight which ended when Ash brought Raikou down and cut the bike in half.
Chopper was able to get up to another and using a chain he had struck another biker off his bike causing it to crash.
Speeding up the saw the remaining seven plus Big vine. They could see Tyra, who was still struggling.
Zodiac called over to Aura as they started their approach to the drawbridge. "I got an idea just let me take point. And whatever happens keep going."
Aura nodded and backed off.
Zodiac took a deep breath and pulled out Brave his Colt revolver. From the back of his bike he took careful aim of the front man of the seven remaining ones. His hand was shaking as he tried to focus. He was still hesitant of using guns especially after several incidents back home but he threw that to back of his mind.
'Come on give me a shot' Drew said in his mind. He saw the opportunity and fired. It hit the back tire of the guy in front. The tire puncture caused that one to fall forward and then turned taking out the two behind them. To avoid the crashing trio remaining four tried to turn but in the close quarters of the road they couldn't avoid and they were taken out.
Zodiac though fell back, the force of the gun knocked him off his bike and rolled on the concrete as Aura and Chopper went passed them.
"Good luck guys." He grimaced in pain as he walked over to his bike.
Aura and Chopper were now gaining ground. Big Vine noticed this and growled.
"Why you VINE FRENZY" He fired trying to get those two off his tail. Both dodged it and Aura sped up with some difficulty in his control. Big Vine noticed the drawbridge up ahead and grinned and sped up.
Chopper growled and went max throttle. Aura inserted a card into his buckle.
QUICK ATTACK
This had the effect of adding more speed to his bike and his katana was out ready to strike but couldn't with Tyra still in his hands. He saw the bridge up and realized what Vine was doing. They started climbing the vertically steep bridge as Vine keep pelting them with seeds.
Aura scanned his finishing cards hoping he could time this right.
THUNDERBOLT MAXIMUM ENERGY
LEAF BLADE MAXIMUM ENERGY
COMBO: LIGHTNING BLADE
Aura's blade crackled with lightning as they reached the top of the bridge and jumped off. Vine laughed and tossed Tyra off the bike
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tyra screamed as she started falling.
"TYRA!" Chopper yelled and jumped off his bike after her.
Vine laughed but then felt an intense burning. Looking in front of him he saw Ash already sheathing his sword.
"Game over." Ash called out as Big Vine exploded without a word. He landed in a heap as he fell from the bike.
Groaning he lifted his head. "Tyra…Chopper I hope you're ok." Aura said as the bridge lowered.
At the same time in free fall
Chopper dove towards Tyra who was screaming her lungs off. Chopper managed to catch up to her.
"Tyra calm down I gotcha." He said. Tyra's read eyes looked at him. "You idiot we are going to die!"
"Then we die together." Chopper said seriously. "One last kiss before the end then?"
She nodded and they kissed each other thinking it was their last time on earth. When they opened their eyes, Chopper made the comment.
"Wow I feel like we are flying." He said cheekily. Then he noticed Tyra was back in her normal clothes.
"Tyra your back to normal," Tyra looked down and she was back to normal like Chopper said.
"But how…wait." She looked up and she saw Celebi having defused from her body carrying the two telepathically.
"Celebi you're okay. Thank you for saving us." Celebi nodded and started floating the two above the bridge.
Ash who had powered down saw the glow and saw Celebi carrying Tyra and Chopper over. He waved over to them and Celebi flew and picked up Ash. They flew across the bridge and saw Drew who had also powered down. They flew down and picked him up. In a blink of an eye Celebi flashed them away.
A second later they were in the area they took off from. They were set down and the two riders were instantly glomped by their girls who evidently been crying.
"Mist I told you I'd back don't cry please shh." Ash said trying to sooth the red head.
"You stupid…stupid dummy. WHY DO YOU KEEP DOING THIS!? Misty yelled out and started pounding his chest.
"I hate you…I hate…you I …love." Misty couldn't finish and just wailed and it took all Ash head just soothe the red head. May was of no help and the prince of thunder had two crying girls in his arms.
The girls drew had were taking it a little better but they were just as upset as Ash's girls were.
Chopper and Tyra just smiled at the sight knowing that they would have done the same thing for each other.
An hour later the sun was setting and Chopper and Tyra were on their bike.
"So you guys are leaving it's a shame you would have made great bikers especially you Awesome Ash and Daring Drew."
Drew sighed "I'm not going to live that down am I?" Which got chuckles from those assembled.
Tyra looked at the group. "Thank you all of you for what you did." She turned to Celebi. "Thank you Celebi for everything." Celebi flew around happily and disappeared into the time stream.
"Where do you think she went?" Max asked.
"Where ever she is needed Max." Brock said.
Misty turned to the biker duo. "Take care you two."
Chopper gave her a thumbs up. "We will Mighty Misty and Madame May." Chopper said revving his motor and Tyra hugged him tightly as they took off.
The group watched the biker duo ride off into the sunset. It was only broken up when Drew sneezed.
"As much as I like a touching moment can we get out of her my allergies are acting up? AAACHOOO"
The group busted out into laughter and turned towards Fuchsia.
On the bike Tyra was holding on to Chopper. "You think those kids will make it?" Tyra asked. Chopper grinned. "They will. After all, they have the soul of a rider armor or not." Tyra nodded and placed her head on his shoulder. "You think we will make it?" She asked. Chopper nodded "Always babe. Always."
The two rode off with memories of riders who saved them and started their relationship.
The heroes walked off having had an eventful trip. Now they were heading off to where ever their travels take them. Where do they go? Find out on the Journey of the Dreamer.
