As the smoke cleared Hunter J stood in all her glory ontop of the unharmed Salamence.

Nessie stood glaring at Hunter J next to the unharmed Milotic who had wrapped her tail around Ash, Pikachu, Buizel and Riolu to protect them.

"Thanks Milotic." Ash said as he stood up and look around themself at the damages that the two powerful pokemon had costed.

"Milotic."

Trees were on fire and some are already burned down. Rocks were scattered everywhere.

Fires were surrounding the group.

"Ash use Buizel's water gun to create a path in front of us and escape." Nessie told Ash as she didn't remove her gaze from Hunter J.

"Buizel water gun!" Ash ordered Buizel.

"Bui!" Buizel shot water gun at the flame in front of them to creat a path for them to escape.

"Pikachu. Riolu. Lets go." Ash told them as they started to run out of the flame.

Hunter J and Salamence flew behind them.

"Enough!" Hunter J command and pointed her bracelet at Riolu and fired.

Nessie turn around and gasped. "No! Milotic, Protect!"

A greenish light surrounded Riolu and Milotic as Milotic slithered toward Riolu and used Protect to protected Riolu from turning to stone. Riolu gaped in shock.

Ash and everyone else sighed in relief expect for Hunter J and her Salamence of course.

Nessie glare harden as she look at Hunter J who was surprised and angry.

"You-!" Hunter J was cut off by Nessie.

"Milotic, Ice Beam!" Nessie commanded.

"Milotic!" Milotic open her mouth and sent a cold freezing and dangerous ice beam toward the unexpected Hunter J and her salamence.

"Salamence use Hyper Beam." Hunter quickly ordered.

"Salamence!" Salamence encounter Milotic's Ice Beam with its Hyper Beam.

The two beams hit each other in the air but the hyper beam was too strong and it pushes the ice beam back and hit Milotic sending it back couple of feets away.

"Milotic!" Nessie shouted.

"Mi-lotic." Milotic struggled to get up.

"Quickly Milotic recover!" Nessie shouted as she run to her Pokemon side.

Milotic started to glow as she recover her self.

"Oh no you don't." Hunter J said. "Flame Thrower Salamence."

"Salamence!" Salamence sent flames toward Milotic and Nessie.

"Ness! Milotic!" Ash shouted in horror as flames hits and surrounded Nessie and Milotic.

"Pika! Pika!"

"Bui! Buizel!"

Riolu stood horrified at the sight. Hunter J used this oppertunity and turn Riolu to stone.

"No! Riolu!" Ash shouted from his spot.

Hunter j smirked before turning to look at the rest. "See I already spear Riolu from being burn to crisp in this flame."

"You never get away with this!" Ash shouted. "Not after what you did to Ness!"

"Salamence Flame thrower." Hunter J told her Salamence.

"Salamence!"

Flames head toward the group ways as they all sreamed.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Pikaaaa!!!!"

"Buiii!!!!"

"Mission complete. Retrieve the target." Hunter J ordered as she watch the flames around her and her Salamence.


At one point of the forest there an opening by the end of the lake that wasn't on flames thanks to Dawn, Brock, and Kallyn. The three were standing at the end with the Pokemons that they have rescued.

"Over here!" Dawn shouted for the rest of the Pokemon that were running toward the opening.

"This way!" Brock shouted as he waved for them to come.

Many Pokemn run out of the forest following Dawn's and Brock's voice and the light to safety.

Kallyn turn around and saw three Blastoise and an idea pop in his head.

"Alright Blastois. I need all of your help. CAPTUREEE ON!" Kallyn said as he captured each Blastoise one at a time.

"Blastoise!"

"Blast!"

"Blastoise!"

"Capture complete." Kallyn said. "Blastoises use Rain Dance."

The three Blastoise blasted something into the sky and second later it formed a dark, gray thunderous clouds above the forest and them. Soon rains started to pours down and wash away the fires.

Brock look up and smiled. "Yes! Blastoise's rain dance will put out the fire."

Dawn looks at the Pokemons. "You're all going to be just fine."

"Piplup!"

Kallyn walk up to Brock. "I'm sure of it, this fire must be the work of Hunter J. I'm worry about Riolu and Ash and Nessie. Lets go."

"Right." Dawn and Brock replied.

"Piplup!"


The Hunter J's van open as they put the stoned Riolu in.

The man turn to his other two companion. "Retrieval successful. Lets move out."

"Yes sir."


As the rain pours down inside the pit that the Team Rocket had made. Jessie, Meowth and James jump out of it and gasped for breaths.

"Alright. Alright. Alright. Who did the rain dance." Jessie said as she looks around.

"Not me." James said slumping his shoulder. "I was a bit pre-occupant threading water."

"Only one thing he could of been, " Mewoth said. "Team Rocket water boy in desguise!"

"Wobbuffe!" Wobbuffe jump out of the water.


Up on the hill of the forest where the fire was put away by the rains

leaving it soil. Suddenly a hole appeared then a hand that belong to a Chimchar, Ash's Chimchar.

Chimchar jump up followed by Ash and Pikachu.

"Char!"

"Hey thanks to you for using dig we all safe and sound. Now take a nice rest." Ash said to his Chimchar before returning back to its PokeBall.

"Pika! Pika!"

Ash look up at the sky. "Rain huh? Good thing it put out the fire."

Ash look down at the forest and sighed. "Nessie..."

"Pika..."

"Come on Ness!" Ash shouted below. "I know you're alive! Riolu need you! They both need you!"

"PIKA!!!"


Milotic nuzzled her trainer in the cheek pleading for her to wake up as the rains pours on them.

"Milotic..." Milotic said sadly but perk up as she see Nessie twitched. "Milotic!"

Nessie groaned before opening her eyes and blinked trying to remember what had happen.

Flash Back

Nessie run to Milotic beating the Flam Thrower and was surprise that Milotic used Recover fast.

"Milotic use Protect." Nessie said in between breath for having to run.

At the same time Milotic used Protect the Flame hit them but the impact was unexpected and had sent them back farther into the flaming forest.

Milotic had wrap it body around her trainer to prevent her from the flames and impact. But somehow her trainer was knock out.

End Flash Back

When Nessie finally recalled what had happen she sat up quickly and flinched.

"Ouchy." Nessie said as she rubbed her head and massages her healing wrist. "It feel like I hit my head against a rock."

"Milotic." Milotic sweat drop.

"Milotic!" Nessie exclaimed as she look at Milotic before sighing in relief. "Your all right. I'm glad."

"Mil."

"Thank you my friend. You deserve a re--!" Nessie was cut off by Milotic as she shook her head no.

"Milotic!"

"W-what? Why not?" Nessie was confuse before blinking. "Oh. I be fine Milotic. I just need to look for the other."

"Mil. Milotic!"

Nessie sighed. "Fine."

"Mil!"

Nessie stood up but wobbled but Milotic helped her. Nessie gave her Pokemon a smile before seeing her in the water reflection. Nessie sighed as she was covered in bruises and cuts neither of them were dangerous just minor. She was also dirty, covered in water and mud.

"Mom will kill me if she see me now. And I think she be more success than J." Nessie said making Milotic sweat drop as she put her bag down before digging for some extra clothing. "Good thing she always pack extra clothing for me."

"Milotic!"

"Keep watch while I changed okay." Nessie said as she walk behind trees and bushes and started to change with out waiting for Milotic replied.

"Milotic." Sweat drop.


Ash turn around as he hear a noise behind him couple of feet away. "Huh?"

Both him and Pikachu went to the other side and lay low and take a look. "What that?"

"Pika?"

Ash watch as two van move toward the big ship before silding down the hill and hide behind a rock for a more closer look.

"Come on." Ash told Pikachu as they both followed the van up the ship at the same time the door closes.


The sky started to clear up revealing the bright sunny sky as the rains had stop.


"Done!" Nessie exclaimed as she walk out of the trees and bushes and look at Milotic.

"Milotic!"

"Okay. Now lets go get Riolu back!" Nessie said as she punch her fist in the air. "Now where could J be?"

Suddenly Hunter J ship flew by them in the sky. Nessie look up and blinked before pointing at it. "Found it."

"Mi-lo-tic." Sweat drop.


Kallyn, Dawn, Piplup and Brock were running through the forest looking for any sight of Ash, Pikachu, Nessie, Riolu or Hunter J. All four stop as Hunter J ship flew pass above them.

"That Hunter J's ship!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Does that mean they got Riolu?" Brock asked.

"Piplup!"

Kallyn watch as the ship go. "Hm..."


"Come on out Ralts! Dragonite!" Nessie cry out as a red beam came from the PokeBalls in her hands.

"Ralts!"

"Dragonite!"

Nessie kneel down and pick Ralts up as she run into her trainer arms. "Ralts."

Ralts look up. 'Yes?'

Nessie point up at the almost far away ship. "You see that big ship."

'Yep! Yep! Yep!'

"I need your help."

'Surely!'

"I want you to find Dawn or Brock or and tell them that Hunter J have Riolu and knowing Ash he would already found the ship and is inside." Nessie told Ralts. "Can you do that?"

Ralts nodded her head. 'Sure can do! Hehehe! Use Telepathy right?'

Nessie nodded. "Yes. Thanks Ralts."

Ralts look up and her gaze meet Nessie's. 'Anything for you.'

Nessie smiled before putting Ralts down and turn to Dragonite. "Ready?

"Dragonite."

Nessie nodded before taking out her PokeBall. "I call you went I need help okay?"

Milotic nodded. Nessie smiled as she return Milotic before climbing on Dragonite's back. "Lets go. Follow after that ship Dragonite."

Ralts look up and nodded. 'Okie Doke Artichokie! You too!'

As Dragonite and Nessie flew off after the ship Ralts has teleported.


As Kallyn, Dawn, Brock and Piplup watch as the ship go Ralts suddenly teleported in front of a Piplup startling it.

"Pip-lup!"

Ralts giggled making Piplup glare.

"A-a Ralts?" Dawn asked. "What is its doing here? I thought they like to keep away from human?"

Brock nodded. "Hm. Yes but this Ralts look familiar. Hm..."

Kallyn kneel down to its level. "Hi there. We need your help."

Ralts look up and smiled. 'Hi your self! But I ain't letting you capture me. I belong to someone else already!'

Kallyn, Brock, Dawn and Piplup was startled making Ralts laugh.

"I-its talk!" Dawn exclaimed.

"Piplup!"

Ralts look at Dawn childishly. 'My lips are moving and words are coming out ain't it? Oppsy, hehehe. Nope!'

Everyone sweat drop.

"Ahaha!" Brock exclaimed. "Your Ness's Ralts. Her new Pokemon!"

Ralts looks happy before teleporting her self onto Brock's shoulder startling him. 'It about time you remember me. Ness told me to tell you that Hunter J have Riou and knowing Ash he already found the ship and is inside it. Hehehe! Wheee!'

Ralts twirled after she told them what Nessie wanted her to tell them.

Everyone blinked as they process the information.

"I see," Kallyn said before smiling at Ralts. "Thank you Ralts."

'No problem! Now who carring me?'


"Don't lose them Dragonite." Nessie said as she look at the ship that was almost out of her view. "Speed up and catch up to them, but not too close that they see or notice us."

"Dragonite." Dragonite speed up as he flew after the ship.

'Hang in there Ash, Pikachu, Riolu.'


"Most impressive the way you carry out your assighment as promise. Obviously it was a wise decision to hire you." A man said to Hunter J from the TV ahead of her.

Hunter J look at the man with the stoned Riolu next to her. "Well then. There is the matter of payment."

The rested his chin in his hands as he wore a dark circle sun glases. "First, I like to see Riolu move with my own two eyes please."

"Of course." Hunter J said as she reach out and lower a bar to the middle as Riolu was free from shoulder up.

Riolu blinked before he look around his new and unknow surrounding before looking at the man and galre at him while growling.

"It the real thing alright." The man exclaimed. "Very well then, I arranged to get your payment right away."

Hunter J nodded. "I meet you at the Rondayvoo point."

The screen went blank as the same time Ash and Pikachu run through the door.

"Riolu!" Ash shouted as he see Riolu half stoned.

"Pika! Pikaa!"

Riolu cried out in happy but depress that he didn't see the other girl. Riolu then glare and growl at the silver hair woman who had walked in front of him and was the cause for hurting Nessie.

Hunter J raised the bar and Rioul's whole body was stoned as she smirked at Ash.

"Let Riolu go!" Ash demanded.

Hunter J took out her PokeBall. "Drapion grab him now."

A flash appear behind Ash as a scorpio like pokemon roared before grabbing Ash with its two claws.

Ash grunted in pain as Pikachu cried in alarm.

"Pika! Pi!"

Hunter J walk over with her hands on her hips. "I been aware of your intrusion the whole time."

"Why didn't you do something before?" Ash said in between pain.

Hunter J smirked. "So I can personally punished the young fool like you like how I did to your other friend. Pity was it that I have to waste a useful Pokemon Milotic."

Ash glared before crying out in pain as Drapion squeez on him tighten.

"Pikachuu!" Pikachu leapt on to Drapion and held on as its try to shake Pikachu off.

Ash seeing this take the Moment to kick Drapion in the eye and jump free from its grip along with Pikachu.

Hunter J suddenly smirked as she see where both Ash and Pikachu had step.

The floor underneath Ash and Pikachu suddenly open and both Ash and Pikachu fell throught it. The two pokemon and trainer see darkness before seeing the light underneath. The two screamed as they fell toward the forest.

"Waaaaaaaahhhhhhh!"

"Pikaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Pikachu!" Ash cried as he grab on to Pikachu but misses.

"Pika!"

"Ah! Pikachu!" Ash exclaimed as they were almost at the forest. "This can be it."

Pikachu closes his eyes while Ash open his and later blinked as he felt something on his back and at the fact that instead of falling he was floating.

"Staraptor!"


"Where almost the--!" Nessie was cut off by a scream.

Both Nessie and Dragonite blinked as they both watch Ash and Pikachu appear out of the ship and falling toward the forest.

"Ash? Pikachu?"

"Dragonite?"

They once again blinked as a Staraptor catch Ash by his bag and Kallyn riding on its back.

"Don't Ash have a flying Poke--Oh!" Nessie asked but trailed off as she realized Staravia was too small(only 2") to carry Ash.

Dragonite sweat dropped.

"Okay! Onward Dragonite! Quickly catch Pikachu!" Nessie exclaimed as she sat up and point onward before sitting back down as she saw how high as she is. "Downward Ness."

Dragonite sweat dropped before flying toward Pikachu.


"Got you Ash." Kallyn told Ash. "So you two alright?"

"Yeah!" Ash replied as both he and Pikachu look up at Kallyn. "Thanks to you and Staraptor."

"Pikachu!!!"

Ash suddenly look around shouting. "Pikachu! Pikachu! Where are you! Pikachu!!!...."

Kallyn look sadly down at Ash since he was sitting on Staraptor's back. "Don't worry Ash. Pikachu strong. He probably landed somewhere in the for--!"

"PIKA!!!"

"Ash! Kallyn!"

Both Ash and Kallyn look behind them and saw Pikachu in Nessie's arm both were waving and riding a Dragonite, heading their way.

"Nessie!! Pikachu!!" Ash exclaimed happily and in relief along with Kallyn who was smiling.

"Hiya boys!" Nessie said grinning. "How its hanging Ashy-boy?"

Ash crossed his arms and look away, mumbling something.

Nessie grin widen as she share it with Pikachu before turning serious as she look at the ship. "So what now, Kallyn? Do we go after it?"

"Hm." Kallyn said as he look ahead at the ship. Suddenly the ship turned invisbled.

"They got away." Kallyn said.

"Pikaa."

"Riolu with J and it all because I mess up big time." Ash told him.

"Ash, you shouldn't blame yourself like that," Nessie assure him.

"Don't worry. We save Riolu for sure." Kallyn also assured him as well.

Nessie nodded agreeing with Kallyn. "Right now lets go back to theother and come up with a plan."


Dawn, Brock, and Piplup were standing on an open field waiting for Kallyn to come back with Ash, Pikachu, Nessie and Riolu. Ralts was sitting on Brock's shoulder looking up at sky as well as the others.

Suddenly Ralts smile. 'Yay! Yay! Ness back! They back!

After what Ralts had said the group see Staraptor with Kallyn and Ash, Dragonite with Nessie and Pikachu.

"Staraptor!"

"Dragonite!"

Both Pokemon landed as Dawn rush up to them.

"Pikachu! Ash! Ness!" Dawn exclaimed happily as she along with Brock, Piplup and Ralts run to them. "I'm so glad you're all alright."

"Thanks." Ash said as he landed on the ground with Kallyn and Nessie.

Nessie smiled before being tackled by Ralts. "Hey, Ralts. Good job."

Ralts smiled. 'Yay! Yay! Thank You!'

"I guess J must have escaped with Riolu." Brock stated as he didn't Riolu with them.

"Pika..."

Ash took something out of his pocket and held it in his hand. It was the doll that Riolu had dropped.

"You were a big help Staraptor." Kallyn praised as he patted Staraptor. "Thanks"

"Star!" Staraptor look at Kallyn before taking flight. "Staraptor!"

"You too, Thanks Dragonite. Get some rest." Nessie said as she return Dragonite back to his PokeBall.

"Dra!"

Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!

Kallyn open his Styler and spoke up. "Kallyn here."

"I'm so sorry Kallyn," Solana apologizes from the other line. "But unfortunately J's client mange to escaped."

"What did you say?" Kallyn asked.

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.

"You see, Jenny and I did our best and got as close as we could but..." Solana said.

"I see," Kallyn said looking defeated. "The truth is. J stole Riolu from us as well."

"That awful!" Solana exclaimed.

"She on her way to Rondayvoo with her client and then transfer Rilou. Then they probably cover their tracks, which of course mean one thing." Kallyn told her as everyone watch the interaction.

"That we have lost Riolu." Dawn spoke up.

"Which mean Riolu wouldn't be able to get back to its Kingdom." Brock said.

"Pika..."

"Piplup.."

Both Pokemon look sad.

"Yeah? There no way I'm going to let that happen!" Ash exclaimed while clutching his fists as he run forward and look up at the sky ahead of him.

"Riolu. Come on, let me know." Ash said before he shouted. "Tell me where you are! RIOLU!!!!"


Hunter J snapped her head up and gasped before looking at Riolu intensely.


Ash slumped down sadly onto the grass. "Riolu, I'm sorry."

"Oh, Ash." Dawn said.

"Pika..."

"Riolu, if you could hear me somehow..." Ash said determinedly. "Tell me."

Nessie watch Ash sadly as she hold Ralts tightly to her before walking over to Ash and kneeling next to him. "Your not the only one who want Riolu back..."

Ash look up at Nessie. "Ness..."

"So let us help you." Nessie said as she stood up smiling warmly at Ash and held a hand for Ash while the other holding Ralts. "Let me help you, Ash."

"Ness..." Ash stated before he took Ness's hand and closed his eyes. "Come on! Tell US!!!"

Suddenly there was a flash and both Ash and Nessie were covered in aura and stoned Riolu appear next to them. Ash opened his eyes and gasped while Nessie appear daze as no one noticed her necklace glowed bright soft blue.

"What is it?" Brock asked Ash. "Hey, Ash?"

Ash let go of Nessie's hand and look far out into the sky and appear daze just like Nessie.


Ash blinked as he look around his surrounding. It was cover in blue light.

"Wah? Where am I?" Ash asked as he look around. "Riolu? Riolu?!"

"Ash!!"

Ash turned around to look at who was calling his name.

"Ash!" Nessie shouted as she run over to Ash with Ralts in her arms.

"Ness! What are you doing here? What is this place? Where are we?" Ash asked.

Nessie put her hand on her right hip before scolding Ash. "Ash Ketchum! What do you mean: What going on here? What is this place? Where are we? Weren't you the one that asked Riolu to tell us where he is?"

"What?" Now Ash was confused.

Nessie shook her head before she step next to Ash as the whole scenery changed as the scene moved forward changing scene by scene. "This is how we will fine Riolu, Ash. He showing us where he is through his aura."

Across the field.

"Whoa." Ash exclaimed as the scene changed and doge a tree branch.

Pass many trees.

"They can't hurt you Ash. It not real. It just a scenery." Nessie told Ash who was amazed.

"How do you know... oh" Ash asked Nessie but stop as he see Nessie sad face and then realize how. "Oh, Ness. I--"

"It alright." Nessie told as she gave a force smile as the scene changed once again.

Through the forest and mountains.

"This is...." Ash said. "Wow."

Nessie smiled before it drop as the scene stop and show Hunter J sitting with the stoned Riolu in a glass standing next to her. Then the scene pulled away as Ash, Nessie and Ralts came out.


Nessie blinked her eyes as she snapped out of the daze as she look around her and realize she was back to the real world. Her head snapped to look at Ash who at the same times turn to look at her.

"Riolu." Ash suddenly said to Nessie as he look determine. "So that where its is."

"What Ash?" Dawn asked eagerly.

"You sense its aura, don't you?" Kallyn asked Ash and Nessie.

"You're right." Ash said to Kallyn before he point ahead of him. "This way. Riolu this way."

Kallyn look at Nessie who nodded firmly.

"Hn. We on our way to free Riolu right now." Kallyn said to Solana through his styler. "Please inform HeadQuarter for me."

"Understood." Solana replied. "Good luck Kallyn.

The screen went blank as the group run to free Riolu.

'Yay! More fun!' Ralts exclaimed as she climb onto Nessie's shoulder.

What the group especailly Nessie notice was that her necklace still glowed softly before it blinked and turn blank.

'Nessie...' A voice call out but it didn't belong to Ralts. No one pay attention to it as they couldn't hear it, maybe expect for Ralts who blinked before shaking her head.


Team Rocket watch as the group go from behind a bush.

"You realize that if we following the twerps way, we could come across Hunter J and Riolu in one fast move." Jessie told them.

"Getting our pawns on that power Pokemon will kick us way up a nudge." Meowth said.

James turn to look at his companion. "But what are we going to do now that our poor pit trap is filled with water?"

Meowth and Jessie look at James.

"We don't stand around and whine." Jessie exclaimed. "Climb every mountain for every stream. Lets wrap Riolu up!"

Wobbuffe pop out in front of them. "Woooobb-buffe!"


Kallyn, Brock, Nessie with Ralts on her should, Ash with Pikachu on his shoulder, and Dawn with Piplup were riding on each Dorio as they were riding in fast speed toward where Riolu is.

"Hang on Riolu." Ash said determinedly as he look ahead. "We're coming."

"Pika. Pika."

Nessie look determined as she and everyone else on Dorio heading to Hunter J's ship.


Meanwhile, farther, farther front, passing the trees and mountains there was a space in the air as there was nothing but mountains and could. Sudden;y a ship appeared visible out of no where as it finally came out of hiding. Not only that, the ship belong to Hunter J.

The ship lower it self onto the mountain top making the sand and dust appeared as its landed.

Thud!

The man walk up to Hunter J. "The client will be here any minutes now."

Hunter J nodded her head and stood up.


"I still can't believe that Riolu's aura could reach Ash and Ness, even though HUnter J is holding it prisoner. "Dawn spoke up as she and everyone riding on a Dorio each to free Riolu as they were almost there.

"Piplup!"

Brock ride next to Dawn. "That just show how strong the connection between Ash, Ness and Riolu is."

"Riolu responded to Ash's thought. Those thoughts and along with Ness's emotion and connection between Riolu allow it to use it powerful aura to transmitted its were about to Ash and Ness." Kallyn said to them.

"Riolu don't worry." Ash said.

Suddenly there was a flash and a stoned Riolu appeared next to Ash and Nessie.

"Huh?" Ash and Nessie asked before realizing.

Nessie and Ash look at each other before Nessie turning back to everyone else. "The aura is stronger than before. So we getting really close."

"Pika!"

"Ralts!"


At the foot of Hunter J's ship at the entrance, there stading was Hunter J and her four goonies. One of the man was holding a stoned Riolu in its box-like-glass. The five waited as a van came up to them and stop five men in green came out standing behind their boss, who is the client of Hunter J.

"I'm terrible sorry to keep you waiting Hunter J." The man with the sunglasses who was the leader said.

Hunter J turn to her right and nodded to the man that was holding Riolu.

"Right." The man said as he walk over to the middle and put stoned Riolu down before walking back.

The leader quickly walk over and pick up Riolu and exam it. "Ah."

"We found you J!"

The leader and Hunter J turn to the source and look up at the top of the cliff.

"Huh?"

"Hm?"

"We wouldn't let you get away with this!" Kallyn shouted down to them.

The leader gaped. "Pokemon Ranger?"

"Annoying brat." Hunter J tsked annoyingly at the sight of them.

"Riolu need to return to its Kingdom so give it back or else." Kallyn said strongly.

"No!" The leader said as he hold the stoned Riolu tightly. "I'll give you nothing!"

Neesie twitched.

"You pissing me off!" Nessie shouted. "That wasn't a question!"

"Staravia use quick attack. Go!" Ash took out his PokeBall and throw it in the air as a Staravia appeared.

"Staravia!" Staravia cried out as it body wraped around in clear white light as it used its quick attack at the Leader and knocked the stoned Riolu out of his hand.

"Ah!" The Leader exclaimed as he was knock over and dropped Riolu.

Tge Dorio cried out as they all rushed down the hill toward Hunter J, her goonies, The Leader and his goonies and Riolu as well.

"What now?" The man asked Hunter J.

Hunter J turn to look at him. "We have our money, lets go."

The man saluted. "Yes Sir!"

Hunter J and her team turn around and walk back up their ship.

"It J!" Ash exclaimed as he see Hunter J and her team walk up their ship platform as it closed.

The men in green walk over to their leader who was still on the ground.

"Oh no." One of them said.

"Boss are you okay?" One asked.

"Riolu belong to me and no one else!" The Leader said as he pushed the man away and got up and rushed over to Riolu.

"Riolu!" Both Ash and Nessie shouted.

"Pika!"

"Golem use hyper beam!" The man said as he throw his PokeBall and a Golem appeared.

"Golem!" Golem said as its blasted a Hyper Beam at Ash and Nessie as it hit the ground in front of them throwing the two Dorio out off balance making Nessie and Ash fell off of its back.

"Ah!" Ash and Pikachu screamed. "Pika!"

"Ah!" Nessie exclaimed in shock and used her body to protect Ralts from the fall.

"Ralts!"

Kallyn, Brock, and Dawn stopped their Dorio and got off and run to Ash and Nessie.

"Ash, Pikachu, Ness, Ralts hang on!" Dawn exclaimed.

The Dorios got up as Ash was kneeling on the ground and Pikachu laying flat on its stomach.

"Ash, Ness are you alright?" Kallyn asked as he help Ness up.

"Yeah." Ash replied as he got up.

"Urrg. Yeah. My head a little sore though." Nessie said as she rubbed her head before looking at Ralts worriedly. "Ralts? How about you?"

The man groaned in defeat.

"I wanted to thank you all of you for all of your help." Officer Jenny saluted as they had defeated the five men and had them tie up.

"And I wanted to thank you too Officer Jenny." Solana replied back.

Dawn look at her Pokemons. "You were all wonderful."

Her Pokemons cheered at the wonderful comment and smiled.

Kallyn turn to Ash, Brock, Pikachu, Piplup, Dawn, and Nessie. "So thanks to all of you, the mission was safely accomplished. You were great."

Solana and the old man who was Riolu's breeder with Riolu in his arms turn to them.

"Don't forget I told you Ash and Nessie would be a big help." Solana teased.

"Nah," Ash said sheepishly as he scratched his cheek. "It wasn't much."

Nessie rolled her eyes and jabbed Ash in his side making him dubbed over.

"Ness!" Ash said in pain as he clutched his side making everyone laughed.

"Your not the only hero Ashy-boy." Nessie said teasingly.

The man walk up to the gang with Riolu in his arms. "And on the behalf of the many wonderful people who lived in our Kingdom, I wish to conway myself sincerely gratitude for returning our Riolu back to us."

Brock smiled. "Thanks, but since Riolu's first group of capture had been arrested as well. You can return home without worry."

"Riolu you take care." Dawn said to Riolu.

Riolu nodded happily. "Ra!"

"Ah," Ash exclaimed before went digging for something in his pocket. "Wah! Where is it? I know I put it in here somewhere!"

Brock and Dawn look confused. "Ash what wrong?"

"I know I put it in here!"

Nessie sighed before she step forward to Riolu and held her palm close to Riolu.

Riolu tilted his head. "Ra?"

Ash suddenly look up before quickly went over to Nessie and snatch the item out of her hand but Nessie side step making Ash fell to the floor. "Ness!"

"Pika!"

Nessie ignored Ash as everyone was confused and open her palm revealing the carved Riolu. Riolu look at it in surprise.

"Here," Nessie said as she took Riolu's paw and gave it to him. "You take good care of this, okay. Unlike Mr. I-want-to-be-the-Pokemon-Master, when he can't even take care of his stuffs."

"Hey!"

Everyone laughed. Nessie let go of her hand and look at Riolu who was smiling happily at the doll. "Wa!"

'Wa!'

Both Ash and Nessie flinched.

Dawn smiled as she realizes what happen. "Riolu's aura right?"

Riolu nodded his head while smiling. "Ra!"

"Riolu, I'm going to miss you and never ever going to forget you," Nessie said while smiling.

"Me either!" Ash nodded agreeing with Nessie.

Nessie step back and looks at Solana and smiled before looking at Kallyn and smiled. "You know, you not that bad."

Kallyn look at Nessie and blinked before smiling. "Nether are you."

"Flattery wouldn't get you know where." Nessie smirked.
