Ash Ketchum, a teenager of fifteen, standing below the Team Rocket building, about to do something that would change everyones lives. Save the world, or fail. At Pallet, the town was talking about their Hero, and spreading the warning that everyone should stay inside their houses or hide as grey clouds gathered in the sky. The rain began to pour as the town was hit by lightning and frightened people watched from their windows and children cowered under their covers, and as Misty, Brock, , Gary, Dawn, May and Proffeser oak prayed to god that Ash would survive and suceed. Dawn cried with her face in her hands, May looked miserably to the ground as her hair got soaked, usually she would panic and complain, but today she didn't care. Misty looked up at the sky as a tear rolled down her cheek. She would stay strong though, for him.

' Stay strong too Ash. '

Ash looked around the corner of the building, there were 5 Team Rockets at the front but only 2 at the back. " This should be easy " Ash talked to himself as he got out a small pistol from his pocket and sneaked around the corner, they were looking the opposite way. ' My plan will work, my plan will work ' Ash reassured himself. Suddenly Ash grabbed the first and knocked her to the ground. He twirled around and grabbed the other one , holding the gun to his head.

" Please, don't shoot! " The man shouted and shivered.

" That voice... " Ash twirled the man around , still holding the gun to him. It was James, his eyes tight shut and cowering.

" James? " Ash laughed and patted the mans back.

" Huh? ... Ash! " The man stood up and jumped for joy. Then looked at Jesse, on the floor and crossed his arms, looking angrily at Ash.

" I didn't know it was her! Honestly! Anyway why are you back working for Team Rocket? " Now it was Ash's turn to be angry. 8 Months before that day, Jesse had become pregnant, and they had quit Team Rocket, and bought a house in Cerulean City. Now they were here in their old Team Rocket uniforms, even after they had promised Ash they were good now. Jesse was now very fat, because of the baby.

" It was Giovanni he said if we didn't continue he would kill Jesse, and that would be hell. " James picked Jesse up and shook her, soon she snapped out of it, and hugged him. She then realised Ash was there.

" Oh thank god. Were sorry Ash " She looked down at the ground. Ash waked past and opened the door.

" Im guessing i have permission to go in? " Ash wonked and entered, waving.

" Good luck " James whispered even though Ash was out of earshot.

Meanwhile, at Pallet, Misty was packing bags, she finished, got up, and left. Leaving a note on the table. Brock walked into the kitchen, hearing someone moving, and saw the note, slowly he opened it, afraid of what might be written.

Dear whoevers reading this,

I've gone off to find Ash . I can't let him do this himself.

Dont let May or Dawn follow.

Misty x

Immediatly the whole house was awoken and Delia was crying. May just sat and shook her head. But Dawn had left too.

Ash stepped into the team rocket building, stealthily sneaking with his gun in his hands. There was a map in the middle of the room.

' How stupid are these Rockets? '

Ash whistled as he strode towards the map.

" Dont take another step! " Ash looked back at a trembling Rocket, with a gun in his hand pointing at Ash. Ash held his hands up and smirked. The rocket started walking to Ash, still shaking.

Ash let him come closer, but then will skill Ash rolled and knocked the rocket over, so that he was stnding with the gun in the rockets face. The Rocket knocked Ash onto the floor and Ash pulled the trigger, the bullet flew at the wall and fell on the floor, Ash felt the wind get knocked out of him as he hit the floor. The rocket jumped on him and the two started a wrestling match on the floor. Ash kicked the rocket where the sun dont shine but before he could get up he felt a punch to his face. Ash rubbed his face in pain. The rocket finally knocked him out with a knee to the chest, but Ash managed to pull the trigger before he blacked out. The bullet flew through the air and hit the rocket on the forehead. The rocket fell dead to the floor.

Meanwhile, in Pallet forest Misty thought she heard a noise, she jumped into the bushes until she saw what it was, she smirked and stuck her foot out. The person fell into the mud. It was dawn. Misty was busy laughing while Dawn got up.

" Ok you got me back " Dawn looked angry but started to laugh, the two laughed for a few minutes, then looked at each other. Dawn stuck her hand out,

" Friends? " Dawn smiled as Misty shook her hand and nodded. The two kept going until they reached the end of the forest. They sat down at the side of a dirt track. Dawn jumped over the fence to get there very gracefully but when Misty tried she fell onto the ground and Dawn laughed. The two waited there for a passerby.

Ash woke up, tied in chains to a chair, his eyes fluttered open and adjusted to his surroundings, there was a desk, with a computer on and a Persian sitting next to it. There was blueprints stuck all along the walls, of inventions. Some seemed familiar. Suddenly Ash cringed in pain as the chains tightened around his wrists. He looked over at the door, it was Giovanni, with a remote control in his hands.

" Well well , Ash Ketchum, trying to stop my master plan, eh? " Giovanni cackled.

" Actually no, i think your bluffing. " Ash smirked.

" No. Its true and your not going to stop me. Were on the second floor and they re setting up on the ground. No way can you stop us. "

" Why are you doing this! "

" Because we will then rule the world. We will have it to ourselves too. All the money, all the pokemon, all the food. "

" And you'll be lonely "

" I am never lonely, with Persian. " Giovanni petted his large cat pokemon then looked at Ash, he pressed a button on the remote. The chains opened and Ash fell to the floor, breathing heavily, he hurt, alot.

" Hurts dont it Ketchum? " Giovanni Laughed " Dont try anything funny, i have a remote here that does some nasty things. "

Ash got up and pretended to be good.

" Right, now listen, you Will Join team Rocket, or you Will die, under- " Ash jumped and knocked the remote out of Giovannis hands, it skidded across the marble floor to the back or the room, Giovanni ran to get it but Ash tackled him to the floor, and punched him. Giovanni, being bigger and stronger pinned Ash down but Ash made them roll,into the elevator, Ash reached up , struggling and pressed the ground floor button. Giovanni pushed Ash off and got up, and stood on Ash, keeping his foot on Ashs stomach, making Ash gag and want to throw up. The elevator stopped and Ash got up and ran, he pushed open the back door.

" James! Help! " Ash fell on the floor and scrabbled as the door burst open again and Giovanni came out smiling evily. James gasped and Jesse screamed. Ash scrambled backwards until he realised that he was at the edge of the cliff. Giovanni approached, looming over him, and put his hand out to push him.
