(Opening song)

Ash woke up and stretched. His back hurt because of the fact that he was laying his back against the tree because May took his sleeping bag. Pikachu decided to sleep with May. But Ash really knows that he went because he didn't want to rest against the hard ground. He decided that it was time to wake them up. He walks towards May.

"Hey wake up," he said as he shook May. She woke up suddenly and sat up, in which her forehead hit Ash's nose. Ash held his nose in pain. May looked back at him and smiled.

"Good morning!" she exclaimed as Pikachu also woke up. Ash just looked at her. He knew that this was not going to be an easy adventure with her around.

Team Rocket Part 1

Ash and May gathered up all of their equipment and started to head down the path to Twinleaf Town. They passed by a river, and it was really windy. May was running around. He wondered if she must've gotten candy, explaining why she was running around like crazy. He then noticed that a day ago, she was really shy around him. But now, she was all comfortable next to him. She ran next to the river, but the wind was very windy, so it blew her red bandana off. The bandana went to the river and started to float away. May chased after it, but she didn't want to go into the water.

"Ash, my bandana is in the water," she told Ash, "Go and get it." Ash was pissed that she ordered him, even though he told her not to do that. But he just gave in and jumped into the water. He got the bandana and waved it in the sky in victory, but what he didn't notice was that there was a waterfall.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" yelled Ash as he fell downstream. But then he came back up the waterfall. May and Pikachu were very confused as to why Ash was able to come back up. He then noticed that he was being carried by something that was wrapped around his waist. He noticed that a Vine Whip was wrapped around him.

"Bulbasaur," said a Bulbasaur that was on the opposite edge of the river. A boy was right next to it.

"Okay Bulbasaur," the boy commanded it. "Bring that idiot out of the water." The Bulbasaur then threw Ash to the edge of the river. May ran towards a fallen Ash and took away the bandana.

"Thanks Ash," she thanked Ash as he was still dazed out on the ground.

"No problem," Ash was able to say after he had regained himself. The other boy then walked to the other side of the river through a bridge and walked towards Ash and May. He returned his Bulbasaur.

"Hey, I'm Red," he said to the other two (Red's Kanto clothes from Pokémon Adventures).

"Hello, my name's May Maple," greeted May as she let out a hand. Red shook it, but then he bowed and kissed it. May blushed as Ash looked at it with an angry face. Pikachu was there with him trying to calm him down.

"And might I say that you are one beautiful girl," said Red as May blushed an even darker red at the compliment that he just gave her, "I think I've seen you before. Have we met? You look so familiar."

"Nope," said May plainly. She didn't want people to notice that she was a princess. She was going to try and keep it a secret while she was on this adventure. Ash then got up and went in between Red and her.

"Hey, what was that all about?" yelled Ash, "You just threw me and called me an idiot."

"Hey, people would watch where they're going when near a river," said Red plainly, "You would've said the same thing if you were in my shoes. By the way, what's your name?"

"Ash Ketchum," hissed Ash. He already knew that he was not going to have a happy relationship with this guy. Pikachu went back to his shoulder as he grabbed May by the hand and started to pull her away.

"Let's go," Ash said as they were walking away. But once again, he was intruded by Red.

"Hey, I see that you have a map there," said Red as he looked at Ash's map, "I need help getting out of this forest. Since you guys are going in the same direction as I am, mind if I come along with you?"

"No/Yes" Ash/May said simultaneously. They then stared at each other for a moment.

"Why can't we bring him along?" questioned May, "He just wants help getting out of the forest."

"Well he has to do it himself," said Ash back, "And also because I don't like him."

"I heard that," said Red.

"Please," pleaded May as she did the most cutest and unbeatable puppy-dog face in the world. It was so powerful, that even Ash wasn't able to beat it. He hung his head down in defeat.

"Fine," he said, "We can take him along." May's smile came back as she then gave Ash a hug, which made Ash blush.

"Sweet," said Red as they continued down the forest.

The gang was walking down the side of the river. They decided that they should go off track for a while to go to a small town for supplies. As they walked down the side, they saw an Eevee drinking the stream as it flowed by.

"Oooooooooooh," squealed May at how cute the Pokémon was. She then ran towards it to wrap her arms around it, but it then got out of the way. May then ran back to Ash and went into his backpack.

"Hey, don't just take whatever you want from my backpack," Ash said as she took out some Pokémon food. She poured some into her hands and kneeled down net to the Eevee. The Eevee came up to May very slowly and started eating the Pokémon food from her hand.

"It's so cute when it eats," squealed May once again. Ash and Red then came up to May.

"If you love it so much," Ash told her, "Why don't you just catch it."

"But I don't know how to catch Pokémon," said May as she petted the Eevee. Ash then kneeled down next to her and took out a Pokeball and enlarged it. He handed it to May.

"You have to battle the Pokémon first if you really want to catch it," Ash advised her.

"But I don't want to hurt its cute little face," May said as she grabbed it up and started to rub her cheek against it. The Eevee seemed to really like May. She then thought of an idea. She put it down.

"Except for battling it," said May, "why don't I ask it nicely? Hey Eevee, want to join me by being a part of my new team?

"Eeveeeeeeee!" Eevee said in agreement. May then took the Pokeball and tapped it on Eevee's head. It then got sucked it into the Pokeball. May then held onto the Pokeball and had a very big smile on her face. She then waved the ball in front of Ash, Pikachu and Red's face.

"Hey look," she said very excitedly, "I got my first Pokémon. I'm going to take care of it and feed it, and play with it every day."

"Good for you," said Ash.

"Yeah, pretty great," said Red like he cared, "I wish I had an Eevee. I hear they are very special and that they can evolve into all types of forms."

"Pika Pi," said Pikachu also.

"Okay, let's get a move on," said Ash as he started down the path once again. Red and May started to follow him also, as they were heading toward Sandgem Town.

They got into the town, as the town was very quiet and very peaceful. There was a Pokémon Center there, so they went there to heal their Pokémon. After doing that, Ash and May went out to but supplies to be able to continue traveling while Red tried to get rooms in the center. When Ash and May came back, Red has then made the arrangements. The room had two bunk beds. Ash and Red would sleep in one while May and Pikachu will sleep in another. They then went to the Pokémon Center cafeteria. After they ate, Ash and May went back to their rooms while Red wanted to train with his Pokémon outside. After a few hours, Red came back into the room.

"Hey May," said Red as he called to May, "Come outside with me for a second." May got off her bed and went towards Red. They talked outside for a while.

"I don't trust that guy at all," said Ash as he put his ear near the door to hear them, but the door was so thick that he could only hear muffled voices outside.

"Okay, I'll see you then," was all that Ash could make out from outside. He supposed that it was Red since it sounded like a boy. He then heard that someone was running down the hall away from their room. Then, suddenly, the door opened, and it hit Ash on the face, making him fall back.

"Hey Ash," said May as she looked down at him, "What were you doing near the door?"

"Nothing," Ash lied, "So what were you and Red talking about?"

"Oh," said May as she put her fanny pack down on her bed, "He asked me if we could hang out in about thirty minutes."

"He asked you out on a date?" said Ash as he blushed a light pink.

"He did not," May argued, "He just asked me if we just go out and eat-"

"Date," thought Ash as he sat on his bed.

"Go to the park-"

"Date."

"And to go see a movie," finished May.

"Date," thought Ash once more. After about twenty minutes, May then looked at her Pokewatch and saw that it was almost time to leave. She stood up and started to walk towards the door. She opened it and looked back.

"You want to come," said May. Ash just shook his head.

"No," said Ash as he looked away from her and crossed his arms, "You go by yourself. I'll just sit here and wait for you.

"Okay," she said, "I'll see you later. I won't be gone for too long." She went and shut the door behind her. Ash then looked back and saw the shut door. He was once again blushing for no apparent reason. Pikachu then looked at him and smiled.

"What?" questioned Ash as he looked at its smile.

"Pika," said Pikachu as if it was mocking Ash.

"Oh shut up," said Ash as he blushed harder. Was he really jealous about Red asking May out? Of course not! He just didn't want her to go with someone like Red. But what was this feeling inside his stomach that he wasn't able to explain.

A giant helicopter flew over the clouds, and wasn't seen by the people below. It had the initials on the side of it that showed the letters T and R. People were inside of it (dressed like any Team Rocket Grunt). A man was resting near a machine until it suddenly beeped. The man shot up and looked for the source of the beeping. He then found that the beeping was coming from a tracking device. He looked at it for a while, until he noticed what it was.

"Oh my Arceus," he exclaimed. He then grabbed the phone that was near him and started to dial up some numbers. It started to ring, until someone finally picked up.

"Hello, this is the private phone line for Team Rocket," a woman said on the other line, "How may I help you?"

"I need to speak to Giovanni," said the grunt, "I found out something very important!"

"He'll be with you in a second," said the women as she redirected the grunt to Giovanni's phone line. It finally picked up again.

"What do you want?" said Giovanni.

"Boss," said the grunt very excitedly, "I finally found our target in Sandgem Town. Should we sit and wait or should we go get her?" Giovanni started to laugh on the other end.

"Go and get her right away," he ordered, "And don't you dare come back unless you have her." The last couple of words brought shivers down the grunt's spine. He shut the phone and activated the speaker for the helicopter.

"Attention everyone," he said, "We have found our target. I repeat, we have found our target. Orders are to go and find her in Sandgem Town." The ship then turned and headed towards the direction of the town.

Red and May were walking down the streets of the town, with cotton candy in each of their hands. May had a red one while Red had a blue one.

"Thanks for getting me this Red," said May as she continued licking it.

"No problem," he said as he licked his, "Anything for a friend." They then heard a big noise coming from the sky. They looked up and saw that something was descending from the clouds. What they saw frightened them both. It was a giant helicopter that had the initials T and R on the side of it.

"What the hell is that?" said Red as he stood close by May. The helicopter started to land in Sandgem Town and Red had a great suspicion about it.

"Let's go and check it out," said Red as he grabbed May's hand and started to pull, but May was resistant, "What's wrong?"

"I don't even want to come near that thing," she said in a very frightened voice. Red then put his other hand on top of May's to comfort her.

"Don't worry," he said in a nice voice, "I won't let anything that comes out of that thing touch you. You just got to trust me." May looked at his eyes and saw that it was sincere and comforting, so she couldn't say no. She then gave a smile.

"I trust you," said May. Red then gave a smile back and started to move.

"Then let's go," he said as they started down the path to where the thing was going to land.

Ash was just lying down on his bed until he heard a big noise coming from outside. He looked through window and saw that a big helicopter was landing in the town. He then had an eerie feeling that whatever comes out of that thing wasn't friendly. Pikachu was also looking at it as they saw the initials TR on the side of it. They looked at each other for a second. They knew what the other was thinking.

"Let's go," said Ash as he grabbed his vest and put it on. Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder and they started to run outside of the center and towards the landing site that was not too far from them.

The helicopter landed and people started to go around it. Red and May have arrived there, and were looking at it as the crowd were talking frantically. Some sounded confused while others sounded frightened. Red overheard that someone was scared at the fact that they knew what the initials meant. Red walked towards them.

"Excuse me," questioned Red at an old man that had a yellow turtleneck on, gray pants, was white, and was bald, "Do you know what those initials mean?" The man was about to tell Red until a door opened up and men with laser guns started to come out of it. They also had the same initials on. People were even more frightened at the sight of them carrying weapons. May ran towards Red and held on to him. They all were in a circle as three people were coming out. It was Jesse, James, and Meowth (Their original uniforms from Kanto to Sinnoh). The grunts were all bowing near them. Jesse took out a microphone and started to speak into it.

"We are Team Rocket and we are here for one purpose," she said, "We have come to capture our target. It's a girl. This girl is very special to us. It is Princess May who we have located in this town. Hand her over if you're keeping her safe. We will kill you if she's not given to us." May was frightened so much that she began to breathe heavily. Red was so confused as to why they wanted May. Jesse put away her microphone and the grunts started to look for May by tracking her down. They got closer to them, as they just pushed people out of the way. They found the two and surrounded them. The Team Rocket trio then came and looked at them. Red put a hand in front of May so that they wouldn't be able to touch her.

"Hand the girl over kid," said Meowth. But as soon as he said that, everyone in town just quieted down. Even Red and May were astonished at a talking Pokémon.

"Whoa, a talking Meowth!" exclaimed Red, "That's so cool!" Everyone started an uproar as they were talking about the talking Meowth. Jesse, who was annoyed at the talking crowd, pulled out a Pokeball and summoned out Dustox.

"Dustox, use Pin Needle on all of these people," ordered Jesse as it soared up into the sky and shot a lot of needles around itself. The needles started to hurt everyone as they started to run away. Red and May were shocked at the cruelty these people were doing. After a few seconds, everyone left the area, leaving only the grunts, the trio, and Red and May. Jesse then returned Dustox.

"What the heck was that for?" yelled Red angrily. James walked in front of him and bent down to his height and looked him straight into the eyes.

"Just give us the girl and no one else will get hurt," said James harshly. Red defiantly looked him in the eyes.

"No freaking way," he said angrily. James just rose up.

"Very well then," he said plainly, "It's your funeral." He then kicked Red in the gut. Red was fazed because he didn't see the attack coming. He held on to his stomach as James then kicked him to the side. May was completely frightened at the fact that her friend was being beaten to a pulp. Red then landed on the ground, but immediately stood up and ran towards James with his hand in a fist. Suddenly, Meowth then appeared in front of him, blocking his path. Meowth then extended his claws.

"Adios twerp," he said as Red got closer, "Fury Swipe!" He slashed Red in his waist area. Luckily, Red wasn't close enough for the cut to be deep, so his shirt was just shredded. Red then fell back as Meowth stood over him with his claws still extended.

"Have a nice life kid," said Meowth.

"No!" exclaimed May as she was frightened to see her friend killed right in front of her. Before Meowth's claws could make contact with Red's head, a thunderbolt shot towards Meowth. Meowth got shocked and then took a step back. Everyone looked towards the direction of the bolt and saw that a boy was standing there, with a Pikachu right in front of him.

"Ash!" exclaimed May as she saw Ash.

"I hate seeing people hurt other people for no reason," said Ash as he looked at them with tense eyes, "What do you guys want?"

"We are Team Rocket and we are here for the Princess," said Jesse, "This boy was in our way, so why not kill him."

"Yeah, I almost did it too," said Meowth as he looked at Ash angrily. Ash was more surprised at the fact that there was a talking Pokémon.

"Whoa, a talking Pokémon," said Ash, "That's so…"

"Oh shut it," said Meowth, "We already heard that story!" He then jumped towards Ash and kicked him in the face, pushing him a few feet back. Ash then looked at Meowth with angry eyes that actually sent shivers down Meowth's spine.

"Pikachu, Thunder," ordered Ash as Pikachu sent out a very powerful Thunder, but Meowth dodged it before it hit.

"I don't care if you're Team Rocket or the fact that you have a really cool talking Pokémon," Ash said, "But I do care that you are hurting my friend and you're going to take my other friend away. I will not let you" Red then stood up and walked next to Ash, holding a Pokeball in his hand.

"I'll fight also," he said he threw the Pokeball, "Go Poliwhirl!" Poliwhirl then popped out of its Pokeball and was ready to fight.

"Should we fight them Jesse?" said James as he took out a Pokeball.

"Yes we should," said Jesse as she also took out a Pokeball, "This could be fun anyway." They both let out their respective Pokémon. James summoned out Cacturne as Jessie summoned out Dustox. The grunts then surrounded the battle, with their guns pointed at Ash and Red. May could only stay in the sidelines as she watched them, praying to herself that they should win.

"Hey that's not fair," complained Red, "It's four against about fifty."

"Doesn't matter," said Ash as he gave a big determined smile, "We're still going to kick some asses." Red also gave a determined smile as they did a brofist with each other.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt on Cacturne/Poliwhirl use Water Gun on Dustox!" they both said simultaneously. The thunderbolt headed towards Cacturne as the water gun headed towards Dustox.

"Cacturne/Dustox dodge it," Jesse/James said as their Pokémon jumped into the sky, "Now use Pin Needle Cacturne/Use that also Dustox!" The pin needles fused together and created a storm of pin needles towards Pikachu and Poliwhirl, as they took the full hit.

"Pikachu no!" yelled Ash as he saw his Pokémon get hurt.

"Poliwhirl use Light Screen to protect Pikachu," ordered Red as Poliwhirl put a shield over it and Pikachu.

"Pika Pi," thanked Pikachu.

"Poliwhirl," said Poliwhirl. Ash looked at Red.

"Thanks Red," thanked Ash also.

"Hey," said Red, "What are partners for? Now let's teach these suckers a lesson." Ash nodded as they were ready to say their next attack.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt/Poliwhirl use Hydro Pump!" they both ordered to their Pokémon as they shot out their respective attacks when the pin needle attack ended. The attacks fused together with a shot of water with sparks of electricity around it. It hit Cacturne and Dustox and they both fell on the ground very weak.

"Damn these guys are good," said James as he watched their Pokémon being beaten. He then thought of an idea.

"Everyone shoot the twerps while I devise a plan," ordered James as waved to Meowth to come over while Ash and Red fought the grunts, "Meowth I need you. Jesse, I have to tell Meowth the plan first." He whispered the plan to Meowth's ears. When he was done, Meowth nodded as he ran away to someplace else. When James looked back, he saw that all of the grunts were defeated.

"What are you guys?" he asked with pure shock.

"What are you talking about?" said Ash, "We're just doing what's right."

"Yeah and we will not let you have May," said Red.

"Fine then," said James as he looked very determined, "Let the battle continue."

"You first," mocked Ash.

"Cacturne use Quick Attack/Dustox, use that also," ordered Jesse and James as their respective Pokémon ran at full speed towards the enemy.

"Pikachu use Iron tail when Dustox gets close/Poliwhirl use Double Slap when Cacturne gets close," ordered Ash and Red as their respective Pokémon used their attack. Pikachu slammed Dustox to the ground with its tail while Poliwhirl slapped Cacturne ten times before it slammed it to the ground.

"Pikachu use another Iron Tail while Dustox is on the ground to finish it/Poliwhirl use Water Gun while Cacturne is on the ground to finish it also," they both ordered again as Pikachu slammed its tail at the fallen Dustox, knocking it out, while Poliwhirl shot Cacturne with a powerful Water Gun, knocking it out. Ash and Red has won. May cheered on the sidelines while Red returned Poliwhirl to its Pokeball and thanked it. Pikachu went back to Ash's shoulder and he also thanked it.

"Ha Ha!" mocked Ash as he laughed about their victory, "We won. What are you going to do about it?"

"You didn't win yet," said Jessie.

"What?" asked a confused Ash. But before he could do something about it, Meowth used Fury Swipes on both Ash and Red. They both fell to the ground, with cuts on their back that blood was coming out of. They just lay on the ground dazed.

"Ash!" screamed May in horror, "Red!"

"And you thought that you won," said Meowth as he was holding a remote control in his hand, "I have planted bombs all over you're area while you were fighting. Don't worry. It won't kill you. It will just send you someplace far away from here so you won't interrupt our plans. See you later sucker." Ash and Red were too weak to do anything to Meowth. They could only watch him press the button. He pressed it.

BOOM!

The whole place around them exploded, and it sent them soaring through the sky.

"Ash!" was all that Ash heard from May before he fainted in midair.

"May," he only whispered as he saw Jesse and James grab May and started to bring her to the helicopter before he closed his eyes.

Ash and Red woke up and saw that they were in the middle of the forest. They remembered that May was captured by Team Rocket. They forced themselves to stand up.

"Come on Red," said Ash as he started to trudge, "we have to save May. We can't let them hurt her."

"Don't worry," said Red, "May's a very strong person in the inside. She won't let them do anything to her. We should just rest here for a bit before we head out. We are pretty weak right now."

"But…" said Ash, but Red interrupted him.

"Trust me," Red said calmly, "I promised to May that I wouldn't let them touch her. I want to save her more than you do. But we can't be stupid and walk in there in this condition. We have to rest. Trust me."

"Fine I do trust you," said Ash as they took a little rest. They woke up later fully refreshed and they started to head out, until Ash noticed something odd.

"Where's Pikachu?" he asked as he saw that it wasn't on his shoulder.

"I saw that Meowth knocked it out," Red answered, "I then saw that they took it away along with May before I blacked out."

"First May and now this," Ash said angrily at the thought of them touching his best friend, "Let's go!" They started to run in no particular direction until they came to a cliff. They could Sandgem Town from where they were. It was sunset, so it looked pretty beautiful.

"We really got blasted off so far," said Red as he observed the town.

"Yeah," said Ash, "and I don't see that big helicopter. They must've gotten away with May and Pikachu. We got to follow it. Come on!" Before they took another step, they heard a noise. A small helicopter flew next to them and it also had the initials TR on it.

"Put your hands up," said grunt in the helicopter, "You are being taken captive by Team Rocket to make sure that there are no evidence left behind."

"And what if we don't?" yelled Red when suddenly a laser gun popped out of the helicopter.

"Then I'm forced to kill you here," said the speaker.

"Damn it," said Ash as the helicopter started to shoot them, but they jumped out of the way and hid behind a rock.

"I have an idea," said Red as he summoned out Bulbasaur, "Bulbasaur, use Vine Whip to take hold of the helicopter." The vine whip held the helicopter and broke the gun along the way.

"Now we go in there," said Red as they climbed the vine whip to get inside of the helicopter. They kicked the guy out and he fell on the cliff. Red returned his Bulbasaur.

"Okay, now it's time to pilot this thing and it'll lead us to May," said Ash as he saw that there was a tracking device in the helicopter that could lead them to May, "Only I don't know how to fly this thing." The grunt on the cliff then grabbed a remote from his pocket.

"Thanks for falling for it boys," said the grunt as he pressed the button.

BOOM!

The helicopter exploded and was heading straight for the ground. Ash and Red didn't know what just happened. But what they did know was that they were going to die. They didn't know what to do. If they tried to catch the cliff by using vine whip, it would just break and they would continue falling. What were they going to do? Was it really going to end like this? Will Ash ever fulfill his dad's will? He held on to the steering wheel.

"Dad," Ash thought, "Help me. Don't let it end like this." Ash could then feel power coming from his body go into the wheel. It was warm, powerful, and it was blue. The power went all around the helicopter, creating a ball around it. The ball just bounced on the ground twice, then it faded and the helicopter landed softly on the ground. Ash and Red got out and looked at themselves to see if they were really alive. Red was truly amazed.

"Hey how did you do that?" he questioned, "It was like-whoa! I've never seen something happen like that in my life!" Ash was also amazed. He looked at his hands and knew immediately what that was. It was aura. Ash actually used aura. He knew that his dad helped him that time. He turned his hand into a fist. He started to walk away.

"Come on Red," said Ash, "Remember that we have to save May. I'll explain what that was later. Our first priority now is to save May. I took the tracking device with me from the helicopter. This will help us find May." They both started to follow the signal of the big helicopter on the tracking device.

"Thanks dad," Ash thanked his dad, "I won't let you down."

May found herself in a room, with chains on both of her hands. Pikachu also had a chain wrapped around it, but it was unconscious. There were two grunt guards near her. She tried to break free so she could get out of there. Then a door opened and someone came in.

"Get out," commanded the voice to the guards, "I would like to speak to the princess alone." The two left as the person walked closer to May. As soon as May saw the person, her eyes filled with terror. The person's hand grabbed her chin and his face came closer.

"Hello princess," said Giovanni, "My name is Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket. It's been four years since we last met. I'm so glad to see you again."

(Ending song)

Next time on Pokémon Heroes: Ash and Red continue to find May, while they meet Giovanni along the way. They have trouble getting May, getting into a battle that could lead to life or death, making Ash release a power that has lay dormant inside him for a long time. Will they be able to save her, or will they die from Giovanni's mighty forces. Next time: Team Rocket Part 2.

Now that was this chapter. I made it early to make up for the time I didn't update for two weeks. I know what you guys are thinking (maybe not) but what is so different about May. Well, right now she's normal, but in later chapters, she may be different. But you could see the difference with Red. He's more romantic than he is in the manga. Next chapter will be up by next week or Monday. Be patient with me. Thank you for all the people who are reviewing and reading my story.

Read and Review please
