Here's the 2nd part of 4.

Hope you enjoy.


Pokemon: Rise of Team Phantom

'Fourth battle, Electrive vs Grotle, begin!'

"Electirive use low kick!" called Paul as Electirive used his tails to create speed.

"Quick Grotle jump, and use Energy Ball."

Grotle jumped in the air and after a somersault it gathered the energy on its mouth and launched it to where he was before.

"Follow him Electirive!"

Just before the energy ball hit Electirive, it used its tails to jump in the air, right next to Grotle.

"Giga Impact!" called Paul as Electirive started rotating at a high speed, forming a purple like orb.

"Grotle quickly use Iron Tail, and add some spin to it!" Ash yelled as the turtle pokémon started rotating as well, its tail then started to glow.

The two pokémon collided in the air and a huge explosion was caused.

Electirive and Grotle then came crashing down, both trying to stand up.

"Grotle use Synthesis!" Ash called as the grove pokémon regained part of its hp.

"Electirive use Giga Impact again!" Paul yelled as the yellow pokémon tried its best to stand and use the attack.

"Paul are you crazy!? Electerive is exhausted, it'll only damage itself!" Ash yelled in outrage for the poor pokémon.

"Mind your own business! Now go Electirive Giga Impact!" Paul yelled as the thunderbolt pokémon jumped in the air and started rotating again.

'I'm sorry Electirive…' "Grotle! Use Solarbeam!" Ash yelled as Grotle started gathering sunlight.

"Now Electirive go!" Paul yelled as Electirive went at Grotle.

"Solarbeam!" Ash yelled as Electirive was about to hit Grotle.

The two once again collided as another explosion occurred. The crowd stared in awe at what just happened. Some displeased at Paul's actions.

The smoke cleared and revealed both pokémon knocked out.

'Electirive and Grotle are unable to battle. There will be a 10 minute recess. Trainers please head to the lockers.' the referee called.


Ash went to the lockers and was surprised as he saw Brock and Dawn waiting for him.

"Great battling out there Ash," said Brock as he handed Ash a bottle of water.

"Thanks Brock," he said as he took the bottle and gulped it down, following with a sigh of relief.

"Also, here is some pokemon food for Monferno and Grotle," said Brock as he handed Ash two bowls with a fire and leaf insignia. Ash released Grotle and Monferno who took the food and stared chomping it down.

"Thanks a lot Brock, I bet my pokémon appreciate it too, right guys? He asked as both pokemons nodded thankfully.

"Here Ash I made some cookies so you could replenish your energy too," offered Dawn as she winked at him. Ash took one of them and as he was about to bite it, he remembered the first time Dawn made Poffins. He remembered as her pokémon almost fell sick. He sweat dropped as he imagined himself in mid competition then fainting.

"Oh em… thanks a lot Dawn," he said with a forced smile.

"Well?" Dawn asked.

"Well what?" Ash asked pretending not to know.

"Arent you going to try them?" She asked him as she pouted.

Ash sweat dropped.

"Emm… sure… H-hey Pikachu you're going to help me eat these, right buddy?"

Pikachu stared at Ash pretending not to understand what he was talking about.

"Here you go buddy," he said as he quickly put a cookie on Pikachu's mouth.

Pikachu-much to his discomfort- started chewing the cookie but then stopped. Its eyes lightened up. "Pika pi!!"(These 'are' good.)

"Really?" asked Ash, somehow understanding Pikachu's antics. "Okay then," he took a bite at one of them.

"Wow Dawn, these are great!" he said praising his junior, as he put more of them on his mouth.

Dawn blushed a little and smiled. Hiding her enthusiasm by putting her hands on her back, and rocking herself back and forward.

Brock's left eye sparkled as he saw this scene.

'Oh ho ho, perhaps all they need is a little push in the right direction and they'll-' he was interrupted as Toxicroak jabbed him on the side, and took him away.

Both Ash and Dawn lifted a brow at the weird scene.

Dawn shrugged it off as she turned to Ash. "We have to go now Ash, good luck," she said as she kissed Ash on the cheek and followed Toxicroak.

Ash was a little shocked, but then smiled. "Thanks a lot Dawn!"

"Now… to win this," Ash said as he returned Monferno and Grotle to their pokeballs.

"Lets go buddy," he called Pikachu as it climbed on Ash's shoulder.

"Excuse me young man," said a man with a dark jacket.

"Yes?" replied Ash as he turned around.

"Is that a Pikachu you have there?" asked the man as he waved towards Pikachu.

"Yes, this is my best friend Pikachu," Ash said as Pikachu greeted the unknown person.

"Do you think I could see him for a moment?" the man mentioned as a tear fell from his eye.

Ash was a bit shocked by the man's reaction to Pikachu. "Of course sir," he said as Pikachu ran to and climbed his shoulder.

"This Pikachu reminds me so much of my dear Pichu…" the man said between sobs as he rubbed the bottom part of Pikachu's cheek. The result of Pikachu closing its eyes in relief.

"No problem sir, but you see we have to go. We have a competition to win," mentioned Ash as carefully as he could.

"Oh is that so?... Then I guess I'll just have to take it then," said the man as he smirked.

"What!?" asked Ash as the man pull a purple ball from his hand and threw it on the ground, revealing a smokescreen.


'Welcome back to the finals of the Sinnoh Championship, last time we checked Ash from Pallet was leading with 4 pokemon remaining. Paul from Veilstone has only 3 Pokemon remaining. Both trainers please return to the arena.'

Just then did Ash and unknown person came running from a door to the stadium, gas suddenly after them.

'W-What is going on!?' exclaimed the announcer as people on the stadium shrieked.

"Give me back my Pikachu!" yelled Ash as he kept running trying to catch the man. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash ordered as Pikachu discharged the electric shock, though it appeared to have no effect on the perpetrator.

"Rubber doesn't conduct electricity, twerp" said the man with the dark jacket and blue hair.

"Twerp!? You are-" Ash didn't get to finish as a Meowth balloon descended from the sky.

"Prepare for trouble," said Jessie on her unusual new 'Rocket' costume.

The man then proceeded to grab a rope that connected to the balloon as he continued the motto. "And make it double".

"An evil as old as the galaxy," Jessie said as the background turned into space. "Sent here to fulfill our destiny," the man continued as he climbed aboard the balloon.

"Plus there's me!" said Meowth who was right in between Jessie and James.

The background changed again as a giant purple flaming P shot next to Earth, creating a bridge of purple fire. "To denounce the evils of truth and love," said Jessie as she came skidding down the flame bridge.

"To extend our reach to the stars above," said the man as he took a hold of his jacket.

"Jessie!"

"James!" said the man revealing his identity.

"And Meowth! Now that's a name!" said Meowth as he crossed his arms.

"Team Phantom blasts off at the speed of light," Jessie said as she folded her arms as well. "So, surrender now or prepare to fight fight fight," said James as he put Pikachu in a container.

"Meowth, that's right!" "Wobbuffet!" "Mi Mi-Mime!"

"Team Rocket!" yelled ash in anger as he got a pokeball out. "Don't you ever give up?" exclaimed Ash.

"Of course not! Today's the day we capture Pikachu!" yelled Jessie as she put on a determined face.

"After all today is the day that Team-" unfortunately she wasn't allowed to finish as Staraptor came crashing through the ballon with an agility attack, taking Pikachu 'and' destroying the ballon at the same time.

"Hold on! We haven't even begun yet!" Jessie yelled as they flew through the air.

"This is how it always is," said James as he folded his arms.

"And it will probably always be," said Meowth, who got mimicked by Mime Jr.

"Cuz Team Phantom is blasting off for the first time today!" yelled all three of them as a 'twink' sparkled in the sky.

"Team what?" Ash asked himself, but then shrugged it off as he went his way back to his spot on the battle stadium.


Team Phantom's first appearance… didn't get to say much since Ash didn't feel like being nice to them today.

If you're wondering why I went back to the old motto… well its part of something interesting I had in mind… and it was my fav motto. Back with popular demand….me lol.
