Ranee's POV
I looked up to see who was calling me. I saw Paul, a Pikachu, and Ash Ketchum. I had saw Ash at the Sinnoh league. I was curious of why he was with Paul. But, I had more pressing issues. I was already down here, trying to get back up. I was walking along when I got too close to the edge and fell down here. As for the two clowns saying that they were Cassidy and Biff from Team Rocket, they did the exact same thing. They also looked up and saw Paul, Pikachu, and Ash.
Cassidy snarled and said, "Not that kid again. Biff, let's get out of here!" Biff looked steamed and said, "It's not Biff! It's Butch!" Suddenly, their bag ripped open and out came a poke ball. Things were becoming very clear. I picked up the poke ball and said, "Now I get it! You stole those poke balls! You better give them back!" Cassidy smiled and said, "You can't battle, little girl. We're on a very small ledge-too small for battling so how are you going to back up your threat?" I snarled. Just then, small rocks hit me on the head. I brushed it off and saw Paul-tied to a rope, coming down to us. Ash and Pikachu were at the top, lowering him down. I smiled and blushed at the same time.
Cassidy pulled Butch into her and they started whispering. Just then, the two of them flung up to the top were Ash was. Paul shouted up to him, "Ash, behind you!" Ash turned around and saw them. He threw a poke ball and out popped an Infernape. Ash spoke to Cassidy and Butch, "You're not getting away. Infernape, Mach Punch!" "Infernape!" The fire monkey said. The Mach Punch must have done something because Paul and I both heard a thud. Paul was close enough for me to reach him. He offered his hand and I grabbed it. He pulled me into him rather hard-enough for me to crash into him-causing us both to blush.
Paul looked up and saw Ash was still battling Cassidy and Butch. He snarled and said, "We've got to figure out a way to get back up there and help Ash." I reached for my pouch a grabbed a poke ball. I threw it up to the top and my Infernape appeared. "Infernape, quick! Pull us up!" Infernape grabbed the rope and pulled Paul and me up. I looked at Paul and blushed. Then I did the strangest thing. I put my head on his chest. I could tell Paul's heart skipped a beat when I did. He was still in love with me! I knew it! We got back up to the top and Infernape looked happy to see that we were all right. Paul took out a poke ball and out popped Torterra.
Paul said calmly, "Torterra, Frenzy Plant!" "Torterra!" The content Pokémon said. The Frenzy Plant tied up Hitmonchan and Tangrowth. Ash's Infernape took a breather and Paul and I came over to Ash. Ash smiled and said, "Glad to see you two are alright." Pikachu nodded and said, "Pika!" My Infernape came over and I said to Cassidy and Butch, "You're toast."
Paul's POV
Hitmonchan and Tangrowth got out of Torterra's Frenzy Plant. Cassidy snarled and commanded her Hitmonchan, "Hitmonchan, Fire Punch!" The Fire Punch was aimed right at Torterra. Before I could react, Ranee reacted first. "Infernape, Close Combat!" "Infernape!" It said. Close Combat hit Hitmonchan-stopping Fire Punch.
I smiled at Ranee and said, "Thanks. Torterra, Stone Edge!" "Terra!" It said. Stone Edge hit Hitmonchan-knocking it out-leaving only Tangrowth. Ash turned to his Infernape and said, "Quick, Infernape, Flamethrower!" "In fern!" It said. Flamethrower hit Tangrowth but it wasn't enough to knock it out. Just then, a Croagunk came out of nowhere and used Brick Break on Tangrowth. Tangrowth went back to Biff-dazed. It collapsed-releasing the bag from his grip. Dawn showed up and caught the bag. Ash smiled. He was happy to see our friends.
Our friends. It felt right thinking that. "Now that the poke balls are safe, it's time for a Thunderbolt, Pikachu!" Ash commanded his yellow mouse. Pikachu nodded and said, "Pika…CHU!" Thunderbolt hit Cassidy and Biff-shocking the two of them and it caused an explosion. We all cheered in victory. We went back to the Pokémon Center and gave Nurse Joy back her poke balls. "Oh, thank you all so much! What can I ever do to thank all of you?" She asked. Brock ran over and started to flirt with her. He said, "How about that candlelight dinner for two?" Before Croagunk could Poison Jab him, a voice filled the room-sending me right into a state of terror. "Where is my Tyranitar?"
