Alright, I barely got any votes for the last chapter, so PLEASE VOTE!! I'll hold off on creating the teams for another chapter and I'll just be open to votes until I get enough, but I still need those votes!!

Also, I put some movie characters in for some cameos, cause I felt bad for the poor movie characters who were seen once and never again, especially the ones from Destiny Deoxys—I just re-watched that movie and have decided it's my favorite since the third one. Plus, it's the 7th movie, and 7 is my favorite number.

I don't own Pokémon or GX. Just thought I'd remind everyone.

Also, a note to jjb88: I like that idea—mind if I use it? (Of course you don't, you suggested it.) The only thing I object to is the amount of power your suggested Pokémon has. I mean, that's a lot of attack moves it's got, on top of its ability to speak English—it's a little…much.

"Ash, we have a problem." Dawn strode up to the boy she was addressing apprehensively, with Brock and Chazz at her side. She wasn't quite sure why Chazz was there, but she didn't really care at the moment.

"Again?" Ash moaned.

"Yes, again."

Chazz spoke up. "Don't worry, this time it's not your twin."

"Why are you still calling Aster my twin?! We're both arrogant—so what? You are too. Maybe you can be our triplet!" Ash snapped.

"Hmph." Chazz scowled.

"Anyway, Chazz is right, it's not another Aster-centered argument that's the problem," Dawn cut in. "There's a group of TL members headed our way. Jesse spotted 'a bunch of people in white headed our way' while he was out looking for more Pokémon. I'd bet my ribbons it's them."

"So? We're strong enough, we can take them! Or—" Ash's confidence waned as something dawned on him. "—that isn't the problem, is it?"

"No," Brock asserted. "It's an obviously organized attack planned with our strength in mind. There are sixteen of us and, from Jesse's description, there are at least fifty of them. I don't think we can take them."

"Who's leading the attack?"

"If Jesse purposely got close enough to tell, I would worry about his sanity. Not that I don't now. Heck, I've wondered about each and every one of these people at some point—no offense." Brock quickly added, with a sideways glance at Chazz, whom the breeder had forgotten was there.

Chazz sneered: offense taken.

"What do you suggest, then?" Ash moaned. Frankly, he was sick of playing leader—he'd been leader for four years for crying out loud! When he became a Pokémon Master, he was finally able to go off on his own, and if his decisions didn't turn out well…then the only one who suffered for it was him and him alone.

"We have to avoid them." Max spoke as he and Bastion suddenly appeared and stepped up to the small group. "There's no other choice. I don't especially want to run away, but…there's no other choice."

"But they'll catch up to us," Dawn protested.

"I doubt it—they have more people to slow them down," Bastion pointed out.

"Yeah, more people with one-track, brainwashed minds! If they are after us—which is pretty likely—then that's they're only goal. They won't give up—we can't just run."

"What do you propose we do then?"

"Stay back and fight."

"And you honestly believe that we can beat every single one of them without losing a single battle ourselves? Besides, our Pokémon would tire after a while of non-stop battle."

"Well, then we need a distraction to at least lessen their ranks while everyone else gets away—"

"No," Ash said forcefully. "Absolutely not. I'm not leaving anyone else behind."

"What if we volunteer?" asked a voice from the trees. The group turned around to see…

"Tracey?!" Ash gasped. "What are you doing here?"

"We came to help you out, Ash. And you better not say no, because I spent a hell of a long time tracking down these people." Tracey gestured to the trees he had come from and roughly thirty people emerged from them. "So what do you need?"

"Wha—? Tracey! How did you find them?!" Ash shouted, thoroughly stunned.

"As I said—it took a hell of a long time."

One of the people from the crowd stepped forward—he looked about Ash's age, like about half of the others. He gave Ash a thumbs up. "Sure did. But we're here now. As Tracey asked, what do you need? Besides a rematch, I mean. I heard you were a Pokémon Master now—I'm sure you won't let me walk away with a victory over you."

"Got that right, Rafe!" Ash cheered.

A blond girl about Max's age stepped forward. "I want a battle, too, Ash. I'm a trainer now, and a really strong one, too."

"Little Molly?" Ash laughed. "Is that you? Jeez, I haven't seen you since—"

"I kidnapped your mother?"

"Uh…yeah, that." Ash and Molly both sweatdropped.

"Wow, there's so many of you here…" Brock gasped in awe. "There's someone here for almost all of our largest adventures…more than one for some of them. Tracey, this is incredible!"

"And we're all at your disposal. We'll hold off those Team Light members, while you make a break for Cerulean. Or do you need our help with something else…?"

"Now that you mention it, we could use some of your help with something," Drew said, coming forward with the rest of the GX crew.

"Drew…" Ash said warningly. "We don't have time. If she finds us, that's terrific, but we aren't going to go looking."

"And why not?" Drew gave Ash a glare that could beat Chazz's and Aster's—combined. Ash glared right back.

"Who?" Tracey asked.

"May," Ash and Drew answered simultaneously.

"May?" another boy—they would later find out his name was Sid—gasped. "Well, we've gotta help May! Tell you what, how about Drew, Max, and I go looking for her? The rest of our little army can keep back TL, while the rest of you go to Cerulean."

"As much as I hate to cut down the arguing…" Ash glanced at Aster "…that's a pretty good plan. And, as much as I believe you won't find her—she could be anywhere in Hoenn—if you really want to, by all means."

"In that case, it will probably be safer with you." The first boy—Ash had called him Rafe—glanced at two twin girls by his side. They resembled him—those who didn't know them guessed they were Rafe's sisters. "Audrey, Kathryn, go with Sid and the others."

The twins looked shocked, but obeyed and went to stand by Sid nevertheless.

"I'm still not comfortable leaving the rest of you alone to face them—" Ash started.

"That's just too bad, Ash. Because we aren't taking no for an answer. I'll see you later, 'kay?" Tracey turned to people he had gathered. "Group May, stay here. Group Stall, follow me. Let's move out!" Tracey raced over the hill, the majority of his group following him, before Ash could stop them.

"Alright, Group…er, May, follow me!" Drew shouted, darting into the woods, with Max, Sid, Audrey, and Kathryn following.

"And the rest of you—" Ash turned to the people left, including the GX gang "—run like crazy!" He turned to the general direction of Cerulean City and took off.

Now, at this point, the GX people had virtually no idea what the heck was going on, nor did they know who the people from the woods were. The most they could guess was that they were more friends of Ash's. Regardless, though after a moment's hesitation, they followed Ash.

"Hey, Ash," Jaden panted, catching up to him. "Who were those people?"

"Remember how I said I met a bunch of legendaries? Well, those were people who were with me when I saw them. I haven't seen most of those people since," Ash answered. "With the exception of Tracey. He not only saw a legendary with me, but traveled with me, too, when Brock left to work for a lady named Professor Ivy."

Brock grimaced. "That didn't end so well."

"Don't bother asking why he says that; he still hasn't told me to this day," Ash commented as Jaden opened his mouth to say something.

"Hey, is that…a Pokémon Center?" Jim shouted, pointing a what was indeed a Pokémon Center. "We can't be in Cerulean yet, can we?"

"Actually, this is Mt Moon," Ash explained. "This is the only PC from here to Cerulean. We can hide out in here for a bit, but I'd rather not. If TL catches up with us…well, I just don't want that to happen."

"Especially because it would mean that the twenty-some people who stalled for us failed," Dawn added. "It would be horrible if they sacrificed themselves for nothing."

"Then we keep moving," Axel concluded.

"We should rest up our Pokémon in the PC, though," Brock argued. "It would also be 'horrible' if all our Pokémon were weak going into Mt Moon."

"Pika!" Pikachu agreed, nodding its head.

"Fortunately, they have a new machine that will restore their energy in seconds—we wouldn't have to stop for very long at all. Probably four to eight minutes before we can leave."

"Fine," Ash relented. "We'll rest our Pokémon. But we need to do it as quickly as possible."

Nothing exciting happens in Mt Moon. They are in and out. That's all.

"THAT WAS WORSE THAN THE FOREST OF DOOM!" Jaden shrieked.

"I wouldn't go quite that far, but that was a pretty dark cave…" Adrian muttered. "Plus there weren't any Pokémon we could catch. We all caught one since Pewter City—Jaden has a Trapinch, Syrus a Mime Jr., Chazz a Sneasel, Atticus a Luvdisc, Aster a Houndour, Jesse a Ponyta, Jim a Cranidos, Axel a Growlithe, and myself a Seviper—but we still need another one each." The six-Pokémon-each-by-the-time-we-reach-Cerulean-rule Ash had established for the GX gang didn't apply to Zane or Bastion, who, regardless, had captured five as well.

"I'm not sure if it's good news or bad, but Nurse Joy hasn't called back yet," Atticus said, checking his phone for missed calls.

Brock pouted and scowled at a tree—they were only in a Pokémon Center for two seconds and Atticus had already gotten Nurse Joy's number and a promise that she would call him and report whether anyone came by the PC—especially anyone dressed in white. Brock had been trying to get a response from her (let alone her number) for four years and it had only taken Atticus two seconds!

"That must mean that they're still stalling," Atticus continued. "Tracey said he'd see us later, right? It must mean he was planning to follow us when they were done. The fact that no one showed must also mean that Drew, Max, and those other three haven't found May yet."

"Well, I wasn't expecting them to so soon. Just because Max made it that far, it doesn't mean his sister did—he's short, but awfully fast when he needs to be," Ash replied. "They'll probably find May somewhere closer to TL HQ. I'm sort of surprised that no one has shown up yet, though. Mt Moon was pretty uneventful, but we were in there for awhile—I thought that someone would have made it out of the battle by now."

"Wait…guys, what's that?" Jesse pointed at the trees on their right.

"Don'tbeTeamLightdon'tbeTeamLightdon'tbeTeamLight…" Syrus whispered to himself.

Jesse gestured toward the others and Jaden, Aster, Jim, Axel, Adrian, and Chazz (while muttering something about "if Slacker and Pro-boy can do it, so can I") followed him in inspecting the bushes.

"I found something!" Jaden exclaimed, holding up a piece of white cloth that had been stuck on a tree branch.

"Team Light," Chazz diagnosed, peering over Jaden's shoulder. "They were here. But it must have been some kind of scout, or they would have taken us on. And they weren't part of that big army that was tailing us, or that Nurse What's-Her-Face—"

"Joy!" Brock corrected angrily.

"Yeah, yeah." Chazz waved his hand in Brock's general direction. "Or Nurse Joy would have called."

"That means we have to keep up a fast pace, or they'll catch up," Dawn concluded.

Couldn't really think of a good way to end the chapter, so that's it. It's one in the morning, and I'm actually starting to get slightly tired after that soda and popcorn, so I kinda need to end it…now.

Remember, I need votes!

…and reviews, those are nice, too.
