Well here is the next chapter finally. I'm sorry it took longer because I haven't been able to use the computer recently. I hope you enjoy it and please review as I need help to continue the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.
In Sinnoh
Ash, Dawn and Brock were just walking along as usual heading towards Sunnyshore City. All of a sudden the ground opened up underneath them and they fell with a loud thud into a very deep, dark pit. "Ah, who put that there," Ash asked, clueless as always. Suddenly they heard an all too familiar cackle coming from above them. Team Rocket quickly went into the motto.
Jessie: Our Pit-trap digging skills still is Intact
James: But our Drafting to the Modern Technology today is a Necessary Fact
Jessie: The wind!
James: The stars
Meowth: Dig a Trap!
Jessie: Bringing chaos with a breakneck pace!
James: Dashing hope putting fear in its place!
Jessie: A trap dug any other way is just as sweet
James: When earth is moved our work is complete!
Jessie: It's Jessie!
James: And it's James!
Meowth: Meowth, now that's the name!
Jessie: Putting the do-gooders in their place!
James: Team Rocket...!
All: We're in your face!
Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!
Mime Jr.: Mime, mime, mime, mime!
"Not you guys again!" Ash shouted. "Haven't you given up even now?" "Sorry but that Pikachu of yours is worth all of the trouble you have caused us," Meowth replied as he pushed a red button on a control
pad. Suddenly the back of the control pad opened and out came a giant, red, plastic hand which grabbed Pikachu and then hit the trainers so that they became too dazed to send out any pokemon.
"Ahahahahahahahahaha," Team Rocket laughed, as they climbed into their Meowth balloon and started to float away. "Ugh! What happened?" Ash asked as he came around. "Pikachu!" he shouted,
remembering what had happened. This wakened the others up and as they came round to their senses and remembered what had happened, Ash looked up with an enlarged pokeball in his hand. "Staravia I
choo…" Ash was cut off as he saw a Pidgeot and its rider swoop out of nowhere and grab Pikachu before making a giant hole in the balloon. As Ash, Brock and Dawn climbed out of the hole the Pidgeot spotted
them and landed in the middle of the road. The rider was wearing a white T-shirt, black trousers, a orange rucksack, a hat that completely covered his hair and sunglasses so that the trainers could only guess
who this mysterious person could be. "I believe this is yours," the rider said in a deep voice, handing Ash back his Pikachu. "Uh, thanks mister, whoever you are," Ash said, in slight disbelief as to what had
happened. The rider just smiled at his comment. "You haven't figured out who I am yet?" the rider asked, slightly bemused. "Uh, no. It might help if I could see your face properly," Ash replied in his usual dense
way. "Tell you what," the rider said. "How about I battle you. If you win, I tell you who I am and I give you my services. If I win, however, you have to become my servant!"
"What services can you offer anyway?" Dawn asked. "I can talk to Pokemon for one thing," the rider replied. "I accept your challenge," Ash cried. "Ash, think carefully before you do this," Brock said, trying to
help his friend. "Brock I know what I'm doing. I am a Pokemon master now you know," Ash snapped back at him.
"This will be a one on one Pokemon battle between Ash and the challenger," Brock announced Ash and everyone else had found a suitable field in which to hold the battle. Ash was on the left, Brock in the
middle, the rider on the right and Dawn on a handy tree stump opposite Brock. "Both trainers choose your Pokemon," Brock said. "Espeon, I choose you!" the rider shouted as he threw a pokeball into the air.
Out came a purple, almost cat-like creature. "You think you can handle this buddy?" Ash asked his Pikachu. "Pika Pika!" It replied. "Then I choose you, Pikachu!" Ash cried as the little yellow mouse ran to face
the Espeon. "Let the battle begin!" Brock cried. "Pikachu lets finish this early. Use thunderbolt!" Ash shouted. "Espeon dodge and then use psychic," the rider thought. Espeon jumped out of the way and then
picked up Pikachu with an invisible force. "But how did Espeon know what to do?" Ash asked. "I told you I can talk to Pokemon Ash," The rider replied. "I never told you my name," Ash exclaimed. "Uh… well…
oh," the rider stuttered in a strangely familiar voice. "It's good to see you again, Annabel," Brock said, figuring out who the person was. "Is that really you Annabel?" Ash asked. "It took you a while to figure it
out didn't it Ash," Annabel said as she removed her hat and glasses. "Who's Annabel?" Dawn thought. "How come you are here and not back at the battle tower?" Ash asked Annabel. "I will fill you in after we
finish this battle," she replied. "Now Espeon throw Pikachu into the air and use Zap cannon," Annabel thought. Pikachu suddenly shot up into the air whilst Espeon threw a green ball at him. "Pikachu quick,
spin and then use thunderbolt," Ash shouted. Pikachu obeyed however the ball exploded and Pikachu took a little bit of damage before letting off a strong bolt of electricity. "Espeon use quick attack to dodge
and then use iron tail," Annabel thought to her Pokemon. Ash saw what was about to happen and came up with a plan. Espeon dodged the thunderbolt and then jumped into the air with its tail glowing.
"Pikachu use volt tackle!" Ash suddenly shouted. Annabel was too stunned to do anything as Pikachu covered itself in electricity and launched itself, whilst still in the air, and the two attacks collided. There was
a large explosion and both Pokemon fell from the smoke and onto the ground. "Come on Pikachu get up," Ash said as his favourite Pokemon struggled to rise into a standing position. Espeon however didn't
get up no matter how much encouragement Annabel gave it. "Espeon is unable to battle, Pikachu is the winner!" Brock cried as Ash ran up to his Pikachu and picked it up. "Good job buddy," he said as he
scratched him behind the ears. "Good job Espeon, and thank you," Annabel said as she returned her Pokemon to its pokeball. "Well Ash, you won the battle so my services are at your disposal," Annabel said
as she walked over to him. "Well in which case would you mind telling me why you are here in Sinnoh. I thought you had to stay at the battle tower," Ash replied. "The battle tower is being refurbished so Scott
has given me a one year holiday to do what I please. So I went to see my friend Alice and look who she gave me," Annabel said pointing at the Pidgeot. At this Pidgeot started walking towards Ash. "Is it just
me Ash, or does that Pidgeot look a lot like yours," Brock noted. "Now that you mention it, it does look my old Pidgeot," Ashe replied. "That's because it is yours silly," Annabel said. "What!" Ash said looking
stunned. "How did you get my Pidgeot?" he asked. My friend Alice found it walking around in the forest looking sad so she took it back to her house and looked after it until I came round and talked to it. That's
when I found out that it belonged to you," Annabel replied. "Well I guess that makes sense," Ash said. "Hold on a second. Who is this Ash and when did you meet her?" Dawn asked. "Oh right. Sorry Dawn.
This is Annabel, one of the frontier brains from Kanto. I met her when I took the battle frontier challenge before I came here to Sinnoh," Ash answered. "Well it's nice to meet you Annabel," Dawn said. "You too
Dawn," Annabel replied. "So Ash," Annabel said turning back to him. "I hear you are a Pokemon master now,"
"It wasn't easy that's for sure but yeah, I am now. I guess winning the battle frontier challenge gave me enough confidence to really be able to go all the way," Ash replied.
Well that is the end of the next chapter and I might not upload the next chapter for a while as I go back to school tomorrow and I may not get much time but please bear with me and review.
