"Does anyone know the plan?" Jet asked adjusting his black bowtie. "Sure do" Ash said "Now the girls will meet us at the docks before sunset" Brock said. "Hey guys" Drew said in a black and green suit. "Who's this guy?" Matt asked. "Andrew Hayden; commonly known as Drew, Hoenn coordinator" Jet said reading the data he had on May's boyfriend. "You must be Jet, May told me about you and what happened in Unova; sorry to hear about that man" Drew said "thanks, come on the party will be soon" Jet said pulling on his tuxedo jacket.
People were lining the Vermillion Pier as the Liberty Star finished docking "please make sure you have your invitations before boarding" A knight said. The guests including the Kanto Gym leaders, Elite four and Champion boarded the ship showing their invites to the knight. Soon it was Brock and Misty's turn. Brock wore a grey suit with a black dress shirt and green tie, while Misty had her hair down and a pink water lily behind her ear. She wore a white dress with metallic blue embroidery on the bodice. "Enjoy your night" the knight said. Next was Drew who wore a black suit with a lavender tie and rose in the breast pocket and May who wore a red dress with black lace covering the bodice. "Enjoy your night" The knight said.
Next was Ash who chose a white tuxedo with a white over coat and black dress shirt. "Problem sir?" the knight said "I'm just waiting for my date" Ash said "Understood sir" The knight said. "Sorry I'm late" Dawn said as she appeared in a silver strapless dress with her hair curled and a pearl necklace around her neck. "That's okay your beautiful" Ash said showing his invite to the knight "Enjoy your night" The knight laughed.
The interior of the ship was fancy to say the least, there were black and white drapes hung from the ceiling, a chandelier shone light around the room "Whoa, they really went all out for this" Dawn said "I know, but be on guard we don't know who is here" Ash said using his aura abilities to keep an eye on the others. "There's May, she wanted to see my dress," Dawn said seeing her friend. "Alright" Ash said as she left.
"Something to drink good sir?" a waiter asked. "Yeah sure" Ash said taking a glass from the serving tray "I must say that you and that girl make an interesting bouquet" the waiter said "Wait a minute; Cilan?" Ash asked seeing his Unova friend there. "What are you doing here?" Ash asked "I'm here because I was offered the gig and I'm spying for the resistance, you?" "I got an invite and sent here to prevent another pokemon liberation here in Kanto" Ash said. "Ah, so you met Black" Cilan said "Yeah I have and heard his story" Ash said "Ah, there you are Cilan" "Oh! Your Highness I would like to introduce you to Ash Ketchum" Cilan said "Ash Ketchum the trainer who saves Legendary Pokemon?" Hilda asked. "Yes one in the same; Ash this is her Highness Queen Hilda, the one who helped me get this gig" Cilan said "Anything for an old friend" Hilda said "So, Ash what do you do?" Hilda asked taking a glass from Cilan. "I train Pokemon and prevent those who wish to use them for their purposes from using Pokemon for evil" Ash said "A regular hero" Hilda joked. "Yeah, and how about you" Ash asked. "Not much" Hilda said brushing her brown hair back before spotting her brother. "Would you excuse me gentlemen I saw somebody I haven't talked to in a while" Hilda said smiling.
Out on the deck Jet was at the railing when he felt someone behind him. "Hello Hilda" he said coldly as his twin walked up to him "Hello Hilbert; still using the Jet nickname Bianca gave you huh?" Hilda asked walking over and leaning on the rails. "Yeah I am, and I see you're still the queen of Team Plasma" Jet said. "I am" Hilda said sadly "Why do we have to fight each other N's made a peaceful world for Pokemon and humans" Hilda said. "That is where you are wrong, the pokemon have begun attacking the cities and people are in danger. But you and N only care about the pokemon and not the humans" Jet said coldly. "I admit that N has been forgetful of the human citizens of Unova" Hilda said. "Yeah, to the point where there is nothing but chaos and pain everywhere you look; heck even in Nuvema Town" Jet said "Is everyone okay?" Hilda asked. "Not quite" Jet said "What happened?" Hilda asked.
I was returning home from Accumula Town when I saw it; a group of Drilberts and Excadrills were attacking the town; most of the pokemon surrounding us came and fought the wild pokemon off; luckily there were no casualties; but Mum was heavily injured; she's currently in the ICU at Striaton City Hospital, she's comatose and may not make it
"Mum's in a coma?" Hilda asked as tears glistened eyes "Yeah and all because your king set all the pokemon free!" Jet snarled at her. "If he hadn't Mum would be at home; I would be there was well helping Professor Juniper with Bianca at my side and you would happily helping mum bake some Oran berry pies; but no she's in hospital with an extremely low survival rate; my girlfriend is forcing others to do something that she doesn't agree with, and I'm leading a resistance force to try and win back Unova, but you; you're happy knowing all of this because you simply don't CARE!" Jet snarled as tears were unleashed from his eyes. "You're wrong I'm not happy hearing that mum's in the situation she's in" "And that is the only thing you are unhappy about!" Jet accused her. "No Hilbert please listen to me!" Hilda begged. "What's going on out here?" a voice asked.
"Oh it's you!" Jet growled seeing another person who had betrayed the trainer's way of life and Balance of Unova. "Professor Juniper" Jet growled out. "I suppose I deserve that for leaving Unova in the middle of a crisis" Juniper said. "You think" Jet said as Hilda was pulled into a hug by the female pokemon professor. "Jet, let me explain there was a reason I came to Kanto" Juniper said. "Shot" Jet said more relaxed. "I was seeing an old friend to warn him that Kanto could be N's next target" Juniper said. "How did you know about N's plan for Kanto?" Jet asked. "I told her. I may love N; but that does not mean I agree with his method" Hilda said. "Go on; I probably deserve more but you can start there" Jet said as Hilda pulled her hand back and swung it forward while closing it "OUCH! Okay that was about how much I was expecting" Jet said getting up and hugging his sister "I'm sorry Hilda" he said as she cried on his shoulder.
Inside the defender girls bumped into someone unexpected "Delia!" Misty cried. "Oh hello girls; I didn't expect to see you here" Delia Ketchum said. She wore her red hair down in a wavy style, with a mauve halter top dress. "So, did you come here with anyone?" May asked. "Oh yes Prof. Oak brought me as his plus one" Delia said "Wow, so have you talked to Ash yet?" Dawn asked. "Not yet, but I'm sure if your here I'll bump into him." Delia smiled.
Ash was standing near the stair case, he was nervous because he knew that N was here somewhere and that with all the pokemon league trainers here a big battle could ensue, "Ash, is that you?" an elderly voice asked. "Prof Oak?" Ash asked. "Yes indeed, I'm quite surprised to find you here though, I take it N invited you and friends?" Oak asked. "Kind of" Ash said "Well as long as your here I feel that something bad is going happen." Oak said before a figure walked onto stage.
"Hello my esteemed guests welcome to the Liberty Star, now you are probably wondering who I am, well wonder no longer; I am N: the King of Unova and the liberator of Pokemon, now the battle of Unova was so sudden, but this time I actually wanted to meet my foes before I start freeing your pokemon from the cruel chains that you placed on them" N started "NOW HOLD ON!" Lt Surge the Vermilion City Gym Leader shouted. "Is it not true that you Lt. Roger Surge captured a Pikachu and then not five minutes later forced it to evolve?" N asked smugly knowing that Surge had no answer for that. "Or that you the supposed Nature loving princess; you use your pokemon to make perfume." N shouted at the Celadon gym leader "You are all guilty of the crime of pokemon enslavement, now I will try and liberate them, but I want to have a bit of fun as well; so my proposal is; fight Team Plasma. If you win this region you will be able to keep your evil way of life and that of the surrounding regions, lose and all pokemon shall be set free" N declared. "But first enjoy yourselves, I bet it is not every day that enemies dine together before a war" N smiled.
"So all this party is nothing more than N showing off that fact that he has just declared war" Prof Oak said "I know, and he will stop at nothing to separate Pokemon and their trainers." Ash said as the pair walked into the dining room, Ash stopping as he held out his arm for Dawn to loop her's around it. "Oh good graces he was in love this whole time" the unknowing professor said shocked as Delia walked up to him. "Well Mystery solved" she said walking with the professor to their table. "Indeed" Delia said.
Cilan approached Ash and Dawn, "This way, N has placed you at his table with the gym leaders and the elite four" he said to his friend. "Why there?" Dawn asked. "Because he has heard a few things" Cilan said walking them to the large round table in the middle of the dining hall. "Ah, you must be Ash Ketchum and Dawn Berlitz" N said greeting them happily as the pair took the seats that were empty on the left of N and his queen. "I take it you know your allies at this table?" N asked as their meals were served to them, Ash threw Brock a cautioned look, who then nodded back in understanding. Misty clued in to what was happening, they were the only two gym leaders that were tuned in.
"So you were in hiatus because of love?" N asked Ash as the dishes were cleared away from the table. "You could say that" Ash said holding Dawn's hand "Amazing, that such a simple emotion could stop you Ash" Sabrina said running her finger around the ridge of the wine class before her smiling. "Oh I assure you Miss Sabrina, love is extremely powerful" Hilda said as Cilan came back with a bottle of non alcoholic wine. "But what truly amazes me is a King my age" Ash said "It is rare in this day and age isn't it?" N asked as desert was brought out for the guests. "Now something I find interesting is that you Ash of all people have come into contact with the pokemon who write legends" N said shocking those gathered that he knew about the times Ash saved Legendary Pokemon "Just luck I guess" Ash said as Dawn gave him a cautionary look.
"Thank you all for coming out tonight to this interesting soiree, I just hope you do not fail yourselves on the battlefield in which the war for this nation will be fought, so rest up; for tomorrow we begin the fight for liberation" N said as his guest departed off the Liberty Star, "Especially you Ash Ketchum" N said as Ash and Dawn walked past.
