Ch 4. Team rocket

A/N: I want to thank everyone reading for their support and I have decided on Ash's partner for the tournament. I will not tell who it is for a few more chapters where he will appear. I do not own Pokemon. So lets get this party started 3... 2... 1.

Almost as soon as he hung up the phone Alexis came back form the front desk. "Ok our pokemon are being healed so we have a little while to relax and get some food." she said.

"Ok lets go," Zeke said, " I could really use some food right about now." it was true he had not had a decent meal all day and he needed some food.

Almost as soon as they entered the cafeteria in the pokemon center they heard a large explosion from outside the building . "What was that!" Zeke yelled.

Everyone in and outside the pokemon center was panicking. " I'm going to go see what caused the explosion." Zeke told Alexis whom was obviously scared for her life.

"I-I-I-I-I'm going to just stay here." Alexis managed to get out. But then there was another explosion and she decided she would be safer with Zeke than anywhere else.

As they headed to where the second explosion happened they saw pople in team rocket uniforms using voltorb and a few wheezing. One of them said " lets finish clearing out the town so we can get the pokemon from the pokemon center."

"there is no way I'm letting you get away with that," he pulled out two of his extra pokemon from his bag, "Come on out Lucario and Tyranitar! Take out as many of their pokemon as you can using shadow ball and earth quake!"

The combination of the two moves where enough to defeat most of the voltorb and a few of the wheezing. "That's enough kid," another team rocket member came out of the shadows only he was dressed slightly different than the others. "you fight me now: you win we leave, you lose we get all your pokemon and the ones in the pokemon center. Deal?"

"Fine by me, you don't stand a chance, Alakazam and Tyranitar return." Zeke said hopeing he could find an opening.

"Go Jellicent, better make it a good pokemon or your doomed." said the man "By the way the names Lucius."

"Come on out Pichu." Zeke said with a look of almost pure rage on his face. "and we've met before."

"When was that? And nice Pichu I think I may keep that one." Lucius says tormenting Zeke.

" The day you killed my Parents!" Zeke screaming in rage now, " Pichu keep your distance and use thunder!"

"Who was your father?" Lucius asked, "Jellicent use Night shade!"

"Dodge it and use electro ball!" Zeke yelled out, the attack hit Jellicent right in the face. "Finnish it now with Volt Tackle!"

The volt tackle hit its mark and sent the opponent flying, after hitting the ground the Jellicent fainted. "My fathers name you should know, Max Stone. I won our wager now get out of here." Zeke said.

"A deals a deal, lets get out of here boys" Lucios said as he turned around and walked away. 'Max's son this could get interesting…'

After team rocket left Zeke turned to Alexis who was hiding behind a rock nearby. "It's safe to come out now their gone." Zeke said while heading back to the pokemon center.

"Thank you for doing that," said Nurse Joy, " with most of the trainers running off when they heard the explosions I was worried."

"It's ok maim, my pokemon would have been lost to if I didn't do something about it." Zeke said " if my pokemon are ready I think I may head out now."

"ok let me just go get them for you." Nurse joy said as she walked of to get them.

" would it be ok if I asked where your heading to?" Alexis asked.

" I'm heading to Vermillion city to meet up with a friend of mine," Zeke said, " then I will probably head back this way with him for the PWT"(A/N Decided to shorten the tournament's name down, got tired of typing it out when they said it.)

After a little bit of thinking Alexis asked " Would it be ok if I came with you?" she was wondering about what Zeke said to that team rocket member but she didn't want to pry.

"I guess I don't have a problem with that, as long as you don't mind hanging around me and a twit with the attention span of a small rodent." Zeke joked, knowing that if Daniel heard him say that he would either laugh or get insulted depending on his mood.

" Well considering the fact that you saved me twice from team rocket I would say I'd rather deal with you two that team rocket any day." Alexis stated hopeing that ti would not be that bad.

"Ok then it's a deal, lets head out as soon as we get our pokemon back." Zeke said, " just to warn you though I prefer to sleep outside in the open air." He was hopeing to freak her out with that but he was proven wrong.

"I'm ok with that, as long as I have a book I'm fine." she said, " does this friend of your like to prank people?"

"Crap, we're screwed," Zeke said jokingly, " he has a tendency to take a joke to far." remembering a time where Daniel had his Galvantula weave a web abound him had hang him upside down from a tree hile he was sleeping.

" Could be worse we could have a total perv with us (Brock jokes lol) now that would be bad." Alexis joked.

Vermillion city three days and no problems later

"Daniel's boat is supposed to get here today form what he said," Zeke said to Alexis " so if you want to go get a bite to eat in the pokemon center while a wait for him to get here that would be fine."

"ok, food sounds good right now," Alexis said and jokingly added " do you want an entire pie to yourself this time or maybe two."

With a look on his face that made her believe him " two pies and a cheese burger if you would."

"ok.. I'll get right on that." as she walked away she was wondering how someone could like pie that much let alone eat that much in one sitting.

\:::/

After about an hour of waiting Zeke got bored and decided to bring out Pichu. " Pichu its work on your speed." he reached into his bag and pulled out four leg weights and strapped them to each of Pichus legs.

Pichu knowing what to do started using quick attack with the weights on for a good work out.

It didn't take long for Pichu to get tired with the weights on her feet but luckily for her not long after she started Daniel's ship started to pull into the harbor.

"lets go meet up with Daniel and head to the pokemon center." Zeke said happy to see his friend in person this time he headed to the ship.
