Chapter 3: When Pokémon Worlds Collide!

They were half way there when Team Rocket suddenly appeared and snatched Pikachu and Zeus.

"Prepare for trouble!" The red head exclaimed.

"And make it double!" The blue haired man also exclaimed.

"To protect the world from devastation!"

To unite our peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team rocket blast off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or, prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! That's right!"

"Wabuffet!" yelled a Wabuffet.

"Mime-Mime!" A Mime Jr. copied.

"Pikachu! Zeus!" Julie and Dawn yelled.

"Piplup! Use Bubblebeam!"

"Go! Simba!" Julie yelled calling out her Shinx.

"Simba?" Dawn asked confused.

"Yup! I just came up with it! Now Simba, use Tackle! Zeus use Thundershock!" Even with all of their combined attacks, it didn't even make a scratch.

"Okay, that's it!" yelled Julie as she jumped up onto the machine.

"Julie! Are you crazy?" Dawn exclaimed.

"Maybe, but right now my Zeus is all that matters to me!"

"Get off you little twerpette!" yelled an angry Jessie.

"Only if you give my Pokémon back!"

"Hey! It's the original twerp!" yelled James.

Julie looked down only to be swatted in the back by an arm! "AH!" Julie cried out.

"Pichu!"

"Pika!"

"Shinx!"

Suddenly there was an explosion as the machine was attacked and four figures were buried underneath. Three of them climbed out. They were Ash, Pikachu, and Zeus, but no Julie.

"Pichu-Pi!" Zeus called out sadly.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu called trying to find her.

"Shinx!" Said Simba trying to dig through the debris

"Julie! Where are you?" Dawn called extremely worried.

"Julie!" Ash called.

"Hey! Julie!" Brock called out.

"Over here…" said a voice.

They all rushed over trying to get her out. Finally when they did, she was all cut up but no major injuries. When she tried to stand she fell unconscious.

"Pichu…" Pichu said about to cry, tears forming in his eyes.

"Don't worry Zeus," Dawn started, Zeus looked up at Dawn as she continued, "If I know Julie, and I know I do, she will make it through this."

"Let's get her to the lab." Ash suggested picking her up and piggy backing her.

"Yeah, let's go Zeus," Brock said to the small Pokémon.

"Pi…" Zeus sighed but nodded and walked beside Simba, Pikachu, and Piplup.

Julie ended up being unconscious most of the day, but finally at 5 o' clock, she woke up to find Dawn and two other people sitting in chairs next to her and Zeus sleeping on her stomach.

"Julie! You're awake!" Dawn exclaimed hugging her.

"Ow…" Julie said when she was tackled by her.

"Oops sorry…" said Dawn letting go.

"It's okay…where are we?"

"You're at Professor Rowan's lab," said Brock, "Hi. I'm Brock."

"My name's Ash." Ash said next to Brock.

"So, you're Ash. Well it's nice to finally meet you."

"You too. Are you okay? You were pretty banged up after the explosion."

"Yeah. I'm okay. I'm just glad Zeus and Pikachu are safe."

"Yeah, Me too."

Upon hearing his name, Zeus' ears twitched and he woke up, surprised he found himself on the side of his trainer. He looked up to find her awake. Overjoyed, he leapt at her and rubbed his face against Julie's.

"Hey Zeus! I'm glad to see you okay!" said Julie as she hugged him close.

"Pichu-Pichu!" he exclaimed.

"Hey Dawn."

"Yeah, Julie?"

"How long have I been out?"

"About five hours now." She answered honestly.

"Five hours? I was hit harder than I thought!" Julie yelled out surprised.

"Yeah, it seems you got the most intense part of the blast." Said Brock

"Oh good, you're awake!" Prof. Rowan said walking in.

"Yup! And I'm ready to get back on the road!" Julie said.

"Pichu-Pichu!" Zeus said eagerly.

"But, you just woke up! Are you sure you should be walking around right now?" Ash asked worried.

"I'm fine! I've been in worse shape!"

"Well, this is no surprise." Dawn said laughing slightly.

"What do you mean, Dawn?" Brock asked.

"Julie's been like this ever since I met her in Pokémon School. One time, during recess, we were on the swings and we were going so high the swing set actually started to wobble. Well, when we got to the highest point, Julie jumped off and fell flat on her face! But, she still got back up and went back on even though she had some scratches on her arms, legs, and face."

"Wow… that sounds a lot like how Ash is." Brock said laughing.

"So Julie, what's your dream? Mine is to be a Pokémon master!"

"And mine is to be the world's best breeder!"

"Well, Ash I guess we're gonna be rivals!" Julie said smiling cheekily.

"Huh?" Ash asked with a confused face.

"I also wanna be a Pokémon master!" Julie exclaimed.

"Pichu!" Zeus said happily.

"Awesome! I've already got a rival in the Sinnoh Region!" Ash said excited.

"Huh? You're not from Sinnoh? Then where are you from?"

"I'm from Kanto! So is Brock." Ash said.

"Oh, cool! So where are you traveling to now?" Dawn asked.

"Good question. Where's the nearest town with a gym Brock?"

"It's in Oreburg City. Jubilife City is right on the way!"

"Really? Can we go with you?" Dawn asked enthusiastically.

"Huh? Really Dawn?" Julie asked.

"Sure! You see, I wanna be a top coordinator and there's a contest in Jubilife City!"

"Oh, I understand now! So may we please go with you?" Julie asked Ash and Brock.

"Sure! Come along! The more the merrier I always say." Ash said.

"Alright. Well I just finished talking with Prof. Oak and your mother sent you a package Ash." Said Prof. Rowan.

"Huh? My mom?"

xxxxxxxxx

"Wow! Check out the new clothes!" Ash said happily.

"There's even a new backpack!" Brock said.

"Hey mom! Thanks for the new clothes!" Ash thanked his mom when he called her.

"You're welcome dear. I was going to give you them before you left, but you left in such a rush."

"Sorry about that mom." Ash said sheepishly.

"Oh by the way, did you call Prof. Oak and tell him Pikachu is okay?"

"Already done!" Prof. Rowan said walking in.

"Good. Well, I should go now. Love you dear!"

"Bye mom!"

"Hey Julie. I think we should call your mom to tell her you're alright." Dawn said.

"Wait, she knows what happened? Oh man… I'll never hear the end of it from her… Ok let's call her."

"Hello? JULIE! Are you okay honey? What were you thinking jumping on that robot? I thought you knew better!"

"I'm fine mom! Just calm down! And I had to do it! My Pokémon was in danger!"

"You don't know what you're talking about Julie! I want you to come home right now!"

"NO! I need you to trust me for once! I need to do something on my own! Just let me stay with Dawn, Ash, and Brock!"

"…It's not that I don't trust you Julie. I just don't want you to get hurt again."

"I'm okay mom. I've been hurt far worse than this. Just don't make me come home. I'm ready for this."

"Alright," Vickie says as she looks to Ash, Dawn, and Brock, "Take good care of my baby, okay?"

"Sure thing, we'll take good care of her." says Brock.

"Good. Bye sweetie. Love you."

"Bye mom. Love you too." And they hung up. "Well, first fight with my mom. Now I feel really bad. Sorry you had to see that."

"Don't worry about it. I think we should get going now." Ash said.

"Right. Let's go Zeus. By the way, has anyone seen Simba?" Julie asked.

"You mean your Shinx? Yeah. Dawn returned it to it's Pokeball." Brock explained.

"Really? Thanks Dawn."

"Sure thing, Julie."

As they started walking out, they were met by a boy with lavender hair, blue eyes, wearing a blue and black jacket, black pants, and a black backpack.

"It's Paul!" Ash exclaimed.

"Paul?" Julie said confused.

"Hey. You've got three Pokémon. How about that battle?" Paul asked Ash.

"Sure. Let's do it."

"We'll use my garden in the back." said the Prof.

"I'll be the referee." said Brock.

"There's no need," Paul started, "We'll have a three on three Pokémon battle, no substitutions."

"Hey Dawn," Julie started, "are you getting a bad vibe from this guy like me?"

"Yeah. I don't like the feeling I'm getting from him."

"Alright," started Ash, "Starly, I choose YOU!"

"Starly!" says Paul, "Standby for battle!"

"Starly use Quick Attack!" Ash commands.

"Starly dodge it!" Paul says. As Paul's Starly dodges it flies up high, "Now use Aerial Ace!" Paul's Starly charges towards Ash's and hits it square in the back. "Now use Quick Attack!" Again Paul's Starly hits Ash's causing it to faint.

"Starly, return!" Ash calls and returns his Starly to its Pokeball. "Great job Starly."

"Pathetic!" Paul says as he returns his Starly. "That's all you've got?"

"That is not what you normally say to a Pokémon that won a battle for you!" Julie says to Paul. "Or at all for that matter!"

"That Starly could've done better in the battle."

"That is still not how you treat your Pokémon." Julie muttered to herself.

"Go! Aipom!"

"Chimchar! Standby for battle!"

"Aipom, use Focus Punch!"

"Chimchar, Flame Wheel!" Chimchar collided with Aipom sending it flying backwards. After this the glow from Aipom's Focus Punch disappeared.

"The attack just disappeared!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Yes," started Prof. Rowan as Dawn and Julie looked at him, "If the Pokémon is attacked while using a move, it can't follow through with the attack."

"Now Aipom, use swift!"

"Ember!" The attacks collided canceling each other out.

"Focus Punch again!"

"Please. Use Flame Wheel!" As Chimchar was charging towards Aipom, Aipom stood there waiting for it to get closer.

"Now!" Ash suddenly shouted. Aipom used Focus Punch on the ground and fly into the air and shot towards Chimchar. As soon as it reached Chimchar, Aipom hit Chimchar with Focus Punch and knocked it out.

"Alright Aipom!" Ash shouted happily.

"That was pathetic!" Paul said as he returned Chimchar.

"Standby, Elekid!" Paul then sent out his Elekid.

"Alright, Aipom, return! Now let's go Pikachu!" Ash sent his last Pokémon to battle Elekid. "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu lashed out with a powerful looking Thunderbolt strait at Elekid only to have him absorb it.

"Hey Zeus, Watch carefully at how Pikachu battles, okay?" Julie tells Zeus.

"Pi," Zeus says and nods.

By now, both the battling Pokémon seemed to be exhausted and watched each other, waiting for the other to fall. Suddenly, they both collapsed from pure exhaustion.

"This battle is a draw!" Prof. Rowan says.

"Hey Ash," starts Brock after seeing Ash collapse onto his knees and pick up Pikachu. "Are you okay? The match was a draw."

"Yeah but, we were the first to go down. Isn't that right Paul?" Ash asked.

"A draw is a draw." Paul said as he released his Starly, "Get out."

"What'd you do that for?" Julie asked him, clearly annoyed.

"There are plenty more Starly stronger than that one. Once I find one, I'll just grab it."

"You'll just what?" Julie said angry.

"Don't do anything reckless Julie." Dawn said worried.

"Why don't you and I battle Paul?" Julie said.

"I don't have time to battle a beginner. I'm gone."

"Piii…" Pichu growled with sparks coming from its cheeks.

"Grrrr…He's a jerk. You are not supposed to treat your Pokémon like that."

"I know how you feel," Ash said getting up, "I just can't stand people like that."

And so, our heroes find a new rival in the Sinnoh Region. Much different from Ash and Julie. We will see where their adventures take them, next time.
