Meanwhile with Lucas:

After resting for the rest of the day, the group head out to their destination. Dawn had told let Paris know that she had something important that she had to do and had to cancel the plans they had. While Paris was a bit disappointed, she let her go. Dawn got a few things at the store for her travels and headed to the airport and got a plane ticket for Cerulean City. Her and Ash talked to Iris, and she told them to meet up with her at the pokecenter there.

After a while, Ash came with Pikachu and Electrvire and a plane ticket in his hand.

Dawn smiled as she saw Ash ran up. "Wow, we didn't have to rush on our ride!"

Ash laughed. "Yeah! I guess we did grow up a little from when we were kids!"

"I guess so!" Dawn then realized something and looked down to Pikachu. "Oh, Pikachu! I'm sure someone would be glad to see you!"

Pikachu gave a curious look.

Dawn sent out her Buneary.

Buneary looked at Pikachu with a shocked look, ran up to him with tears in her eyes, and hugged him and she cried tears of joy.

Pikachu blushed.

Ash smiled. "You're happy to see her too, huh, Pikachu?"

Dawn gave a serious look. "She was really down and out of it when she saw that you two from this universe got killed."

"I see… We'll I think that makes him happy to know how much she cares for him, considering he held her dear to his heart for so long!"

Dawn gave Ash a confused look. "But… Buneary is the one that liked Pikachu!"

Pikachu and Buneary looked at each other with a blush, then bashfully looked away.

"Please tell me you got your plane ticket!" an annoyed voice came from Electivire.

Dawn glared Electivire's way and saw on the device that Paul gave him was his face with an annoyed look. Then she realized what that device was. "Oh no! This is not okay! Give me that poketech!"

"Do NOT let her touch it!" Paul shouted.

Electivire held her back with the other hand and held his wrists away from her, as Dawn tried to get to the hand with the poktech to destroy it.

Ash gave a smile. "No need to worry, Paul! We got everything under control!" He showed the tickets to Paul.

Dawn blushed, hearing Ash say what she always said.

Paul rolled his eyes. "Just don't miss the plane or keep Iris waiting!"

"Okay, MOM!" Dawn snapped.

Paul ignored her and just hanged up.

Dawn angrily huffed. "Man, how do you put up with him?"

Ash shrugged. "I usually just try my best not to let him bother me…"

Meanwhile with the group at Cerulean City:

Iris and everyone with her made it to the pokecenter and were settling down after a long flight. She got done getting things together and was sitting at a table looking out the window with a serious look, trying to spot a suspicious person. It was pretty nice that Cilan wasn't around her teasing her about liking Ash.

Bonnie sat down at the table Iris sat at with a curious look. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

Iris gave a puzzled look. "Sure…"

"So… why do you pretend not to like Ash?" Bonnie whispered.

Iris heavily blushed and gasped. "W-w-what are you talking about? I DON'T!"

Bonnie gave a concerned look. "Come on… It's so obvious."

Iris glared at her with clenched fist. "Look! I know my own feelings! And I just see him as a friend!"

Bonnie crossed her arms. "Ash is such a great guy… Is it because you're afraid he's too good for you, and that he deserves someone better?"

Iris frowned, sat down, crossed her arms, and looked away. "Of course not! I'm a champion and a very strong individual… He doesn't measure up to me…"

Bonnie shrugged. "Well, Ash is a champion too… as well as a hero to multiple regions, has friends from all places, and had a lot of pretty ladies wanting him."

Iris looked away with a jealous look.

"But… I think your real pretty too!"

"I KNOW I am!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and ask Ashley on a date after you take down Team Rainbow!"

Iris heavily blushed as she looked at Ashley.

Bonnie looked away with an unsure look and laughed. "Though, I guess I'm one to talk…"

Iris gave her a confused look.

"I like someone…" Bonnie looked out the window with a sigh. "But, I'm not sure how he feels about me."

"Why… are you telling me this?"

Bonnie shrugged. "I thought maybe… since we are struggling to tell someone that we like how we feel about them… maybe we could help each other."

Iris sighed. "Alright. Fine. Just keep it a secret that I like Ash."

Bonnie gave an awkward look as a huge sweat drop appeared behind her head. "But… you already unintentionally let everyone know your that…" she thought to herself.

"Do we have a deal, or what?!"

"Yes! Of course, I won't tell!"

Iris and Bonnie talked for quite some time.

After hours passed, Lucas, Dawn, and Electivire walked through the door. Everyone ran to them and greeted them, except Serena who was making dinner.

Electivire glared at Ash and Dawn.

"Hey what's wrong, Electivire?" Bonnie asked.

Electivire pointed to its wrists, then pointed at Lucas and Dawn while angrily shouting.

Bonnie stared at Lucas and Dawn with a confused look.

Lucas smiled at them. "Ahh… He's just a bit irritable after the long ride, I think." Suddenly, his phone rang, and he answered it.

Paul answered and he looked extremely mad. "What did you do to the poketech Electivire had?!"

"We got rid of it!" Dawn snapped.

"What? You owe me a new poketech!"

"Forget it! Next time, don't use your pokemon to pester us, and if you want to ask us something, call us! And we'll talk to you if we FEEL like it!" Dawn then quickly hit the hang up button before he could speak.

They all stared at Lucas and Dawn with a confused look.

"Is… that supposed to be one of your friends?" Bonnie asked.

"Kinda…" Lucas replied with an uneasy tone. "He's… more of a rival of mine. But he has been a big help with this whole Team Rainbow business!"

Bonnie gave a curious look. "How?"

Lucas broke out in a nervous sweet, thinking back on them arguing for a whole week and getting nothing done. "Uh…"

"Well anyways, we might as well tell you the plan. It seems a lot of the suspicious people… are waiting around the gym here. They seem to be looking for both Ash and Misty… Misty said that it's probably because the group after an Ash she saved…" Iris explained.

"I see… so we just wonder around there and see if we can spot people asking for Ash and Misty?" Dawn asked.

Iris nodded. "When we find one… we go and follow him and see if we can find out anything more!"

Dawn gave a serious look. "W-what if we get caught watching them? And they capture us?"

Bonnie smiled. "My brother has gotten a lot better with his inventions! We called him up, and he got it delivered to us before we left." They also made sure the group in Viridian City by having Bianca take the inventions to the group, and the group on the route hast them as well with N taking it to them.

Lucas gave an excited look. "Alight! Science is SO amazing!"

Dawn gave a curious look as Iris handed out some weird watch looking device to the two of them. "What does this do?"

"Just press the button, and it'll let us know that you'll need help and were you're at! See!" Red pressed the button on the device.

All their watches lit up with a not too loud urgent noise and had 'Red' in the top corner with a map and the location of where they are and were Red is.

"Woah! Cool!" Lucas commented.

Suddenly a xatu ran into the middle of the group and stopped completely.

"Wait! Xatu, what are you doing?!" a male voice shouted.

A cinderace blazed through and held onto the Xatu from moving, but it just stood there and put up no resistance.

A man with black hair and blue eyes ran in and held onto the Xatu as well. "Why are running off here for! Can't you just…"

Lucas, Red, and Ashley exciting shouted, "Goh!"

Goh turned to them with a surprised look. "Three… Ashs?"

"Wait, you can tell?" Red asked.

Goh crossed his arms with a sigh. "Of course. I do know a good friend's voice, face, and all…"

Serena came out. "Hey Red, what kind of cheese do…" Serena noticed Goh and looked around with a confused look.

Goh gave a confused look. "Red?"

Red walked to Goh and whispered, "… we are hiding for a group of people targeting me, so I'm going by Red…." He pointed to the Ash in a dress, "they are going by Ashley…" He pointed to the last Ash. "And he's going by, uh…"

"Lucas!"

"Oh…"Goh said.

Serena smiled at Goh. "It's good to see you again, Goh."

"Yeah! Good to see you," Bonnie said. Then she gave a curious look. "So, is your Xatu misbehaving?"

Goh gave a stressed look. "Yeah. I don't know why… But Xatu wouldn't listen to a word I tell it, and just ran straight here." He glared at Xatu with clenched fists. "That was TOO LONG of a chase, Xatu!"

Xatu didn't respond and just stared at the Ashs.

"Aww, it seemed to really want to see me again!" Lucas said. Then he knelt down and petted Xatu on the head.

There was no response from the Xatu.

They all stared at each other with a confused look.

"So… What are all of you doing here?" Goh asked.

"Well…" Lucas started.
