Walking through Illex Forest is our heroes: Stephen, Melissa, Rob, Lucario, and Raichu. Stephen has Pikachu on his shoulder as Melissa has Pichu on hers. Stephen and Melissa are holding hands.
"I sense a lot of Pokémon," Lucario says.
"Some in the sky, some in the trees, some on the ground, and some in the water," Rob states, "Yeah we know Lucario so thanks."
"I sense one that is from Sinnoh though," Lucario states.
"There are Pokémon in Johto that are in Sinnoh," Stephen explains.
"From that is only from Sinnoh," Lucario announces.
"But how?" Melissa asks.
Our heroes hear a cry from a Pokémon.
"That sounds like a Togekiss!" Rob shouts.
Our heroes run to the cry and see a Togekiss being attacked by a Houndoom.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Stephen shouts.
Pikachu jumps into the air and uses Thunderbolt on Houndoom which makes the Houndoom run off. Melissa goes to the weaken Togekiss. The Togekiss fall and reveals an egg.
"So it was protecting its egg," Lucario says.
Rob walks to the Togekiss and touches it.
"Togekiss died for it child," Rob states.
Melissa starts to cry.
"What about this egg?" Melissa asks.
"You should take it and raise the Togepi when it hatches," Stephen replies.
"Why me?" Melissa asks.
"You're a new trainer and you would be a great mother," Rob replies.
Rob picks up the egg and hands it to Melissa. Melissa takes the egg as tears fall from her face. Rob picks Togekiss up.
"We need to give a good burial for Togekiss," Rob says, "Cuz have Garchomp use Dig."
Stephen shakes his head and then takes the Poké Ball.
"Garchomp use Dig!" Stephen shouts.
Garchomp appears and starts digging.
"Okay that's enough," Rob says.
Rob puts Togekiss in the hole and then Garchomp covers the Togekiss up. Rob stands up and returns Garchomp. Pikachu jumps onto Stephen's shoulder.
"We should give a moment of silence," Lucario says.
Our heroes stand at the gravesite as the egg, Melissa is holding, starts to glow.
"What's happening?" Melissa asks.
"It's hatching," Stephen replies.
The egg hatches and appears from the egg is Togepi.
"Now since Togepi has laid eyes on you you're the mother," Rob states.
Melissa stares at Togepi who stares back. Rob grabs his backpack and takes out a bottle and puts food in it.
"It's time to learn how to feed," Rob states.
Rob gives Melissa the bottle and helps her feed Togepi. After feeding Rob and Melissa wash Togepi and once Togepi was done with its bath Melissa put Togepi in a Poké Ball.
"How do you know this stuff?" Melissa asks.
"Despite being a Pokémon Master I too am a great breeder," Rob replies.
"Yeah him and Brock helped each other a lot back in our journeys," Stephen explains.
"They also helped us all too," Lucario announces.
"That's a good thing to know," Melissa admits.
"Yeah so let's get out of here and get into Goldenrod City," Rob declares.
Our heroes head off as Melissa put the Poké Ball away and then grabs Stephen's hand. Our heroes arrive to Goldenrod City by dusk so our heroes head for the Poké Center. Again Rob falls for Nurse Joy.
"My beautiful nurse can we go on a date tonight?" Rob asks.
"Um…" Nurse Joy goes to say.
Stephen grabs Robs' ear and pulls Rob away.
"You and Brock will never learn we you?" Stephen asks.
Lucario, Raichu, and Melissa laugh. Our heroes then eat dinner, show, and head to bed, the next morning the heroes head off out into Goldenrod City.
"What should we do?" Melissa asks, "Go to the gym or go shopping?"
"Whatever you want," Stephen replies.
"Melissa you should go for the badge and the shopping," Rob states.
"Yes please," Lucario says.
Our heroes head off for the Goldenrod Gym. As our heroes enter the gym they see Whitney and her Miltank.
"Oh no you have come back to make fun of me," Whitney says to Stephen.
"I have not," Stephen says with a laugh, "Though it was funny that you cried after you lost to me."
Melissa moves Stephen out of the way.
"Hello my name is Melissa and I like a challenge for the badge," Melissa states.
"Alright but it's going to be one-on-one and I chose Miltank," Whitney explains.
"Be careful against her Miltank," Rob announces.
Whitney, her Miltank, and Melissa go off to the field as Stephen, Rob, Raichu, and Lucario go to sit.
"Bayleef come on out!" Melissa shouts throwing her Poké Ball.
Bayleef appears in front of Miltank.
"Rollout!" Whitney shouts.
"Stop it by using Vine Whip!" Melissa shouts.
Miltank uses Rollout but gets stopped by Bayleef and the Vine Whips.
"Razor Leaf!" Melissa shouts.
Miltank gets hit by Razor Leaf.
"Attract!" Whitney shouts.
"Energy Ball!" Melissa shouts.
Miltank uses Attract but he has no effect on Bayleef so the Energy Ball hits Miltank.
"Stomp!" Whitney shouts.
"Razor Leaf!" Melissa shouts.
Miltank goes to use Stomp but gets tripped over by Razor Leaf.
"Finish with a Body Slam!" Melissa shouts.
Bayleef uses Body Slam and faints Miltank. Whitney runs to Miltank as Melissa returns her Bayleef and then walks to Whitney.
"Is your Miltank alright?" Melissa asks.
"Yeah thanks for being concerned," Whitney says returning Miltank.
Stephen, Rob, Lucario, and Raichu walk towards Whitney and Melissa.
"Miltank is a strong one," Lucario says.
"Why can't Stephen be nice like all of you?" Whitney asks.
"Hey I am nice," Stephen says grinning.
Whitney rolls her eyes.
"For successfully beating me I will reward you this Plain Badge," Whitney states.
Whitney hands the Plain Badge to Melissa who takes it and cheers.
"Well I'm going shopping and maybe you should too," Whitney announces.
"That's what we are about to do," Rob explains.
"Okay well take care guys," Whitney says.
Our heroes wave by to Whitney as she waves by back. Our heroes exit the gym.
"While you are shopping I'm going to buy new supplies," Rob states.
"I'll go with you and leave the lovers alone," Lucario says laughing.
Melissa and Stephen laugh. Rob, Raichu, and Lucario walk off to go buy supplies as Stephen and Melissa go shopping. Melissa and Stephen went shopping for clothes and accessories. After shopping Stephen and Melissa go into the café. Stephen and Melissa order food after they sit down.
"So how do you like being a Pokémon Trainer?" Stephen asks.
"It's awesome!" Melissa replies, "I'm still glad to have you with me because I really missed you."
"I miss you too," Stephen states, "I always had you on my mind when I was on my journey."
"Aw that is so adorable," Melissa says, "I love you."
Stephen smiles.
"I love you too," Stephen says.
Stephen and Melissa get their food and begin to each. Pichu and Pikachu are also eating. After they finish eating Rob calls Stephen on his Pokégear.
"Hello?" Stephen answers the Pokégear.
"Cuz get outside now," Rob says, "Team Rocket is trying to take over the Radio Tower!"
"God they need to quit this," Stephen says, "On my way."
Stephen hangs up the Pokégear and pays the bill. Pichu jumps on Melissa's shoulder as Pikachu jumps on Stephen's shoulder. Stephen is now angry.
"What's wrong?" Melissa asks.
"Team Rocket," Stephen replies, "Let's go."
Stephen and Melissa run out and head to the Radio Tower and when they arrive outside of the Radio Tower they see Rob, Raichu, and Lucario standing at the entrance. Stephen and Melissa walk to Rob, Raichu, and Lucario.
"Officer Jenny and her team are in there dealing with Team Rocket," Rob states.
"Don't worry I controlled Brock around her," Lucario says laughing.
Stephen sees a man backed against a window on the top floor of the Radio Tower.
"We should help," Stephen states, "Let's get to the top floor."
Our heroes run into the Radio Tower and head for the upstairs room. As our heroes run through the Radio Tower, Officer Jenny, her team, Arcanine, and Growlithe are fighting back Team Rocket. Stephen and the group easily get through due to Officer Jenny and her team keeping Team Rocket busy on every floor of the Radio Tower. Now outside of the Radio Tower it is surrounded and our heroes finally make it to the top floor where the owner is surrounded by a Team Rocket Execute and his Tyranitar and Houndoom.
"Stop this now!" Melissa shouts.
The executive turns around.
"How dare you interrupt the almighty Matt," Matt states.
"What kind of evil name is that?" Lucario asks laughing.
Houndoom and Tyranitar move towards our heroes.
"Now you disrespect my great name?" Matt questions, "You will all pay. Attack!"
Tyranitar and Houndoom use Hyper Beam on Lucario. Stephen runs to Lucario and takes the Hyper Beam with Lucario. The two are sent towards a wall.
"Lucario are you alright?" Stephen asks.
"Not that hurt but I do want to fight them," Lucario replies.
"Lucario you should rest so you don't get hurt worse," Stephen states.
"Alright," Lucario says, "Thanks."
Stephen angrily gets up and turns to Matt.
"You will pay for that!" Stephen shouts grabbing a Poké Ball, "Melissa go watch Lucario!"
Melissa runs to Lucario as Stephen throws his Poké Ball. From the Poké Ball comes Tyranitar.
"Feraligatr come help too!" Rob shouts throwing his Poké Ball
Feraligatr appears beside Typhlosion.
"Tyranitar, Dark Pulse!" Matt shouts, "Houndoom, Flamethrower!"
"Flamethrower back!" Stephen shouts.
"Hydro Pump!" Rob shouts.
Typhlosion and Houndoom's Flamethrower collide but Typhlosion's Flamethrower overpowers Houndoom's as Feraligatr's Hydro Pump obliterates Tyranitar's Dark Pulse. Houndoom and Tyranitar get badly injured.
"I will not lose!" Matt shouts.
"I'm the champion of this region and he is a master of Pokémon!" Stephen shouts.
"All lies!" Matt shouts.
"Typhlosion, Blast Burn!" Stephen shouts.
"Feraligatr, Hydro Cannon!" Rob shouts.
Matt was too slow to command Houndoom and Tyranitar so they both get hit by Blast Burn and Hydro Cannon.
"Wow, they are strong…" Melissa says shocked.
"Magnificent," Lucario says.
"Hyper Beam!" Matt shouts.
"Flare Blitz!" Stephen shouts.
"Aqua Tail!" Rob shouts.
Typhlosion burns his way through the Hyper Beam and knocks out Houndoom with Flare Blitz as Aqua Tail splits Hyper Beam in half and faints Tyranitar. Both Tyranitar and Houndoom fly backwards to Matt who is scared.
"I suspect you to be leaving… wait no how about you stay?" Stephen questions.
Officer Jenny and her team come into the room and arrest Matt and his Pokémon. Jenny's team takes Matt and his Pokémon away.
"Thank you for your help," Officer Jenny says.
Rob gets on one knee.
"It was all my plan my beauty," Rob states, "Now how about a lovely date?"
"Stephen, Lucario isn't doing well!" Melissa shouts.
Stephen ignores Rob and turns to Lucario and runs to him.
"It is my time to go," Lucario says.
"No it's not!" Stephen shouts.
"I'm sorry for not being so respectful to you and our friends," Lucario says, "To be honest I love you Stephen. You are like my father."
"I love you too Lucario but you can't go," Stephen says, "I need you."
Stephen picks Lucario up.
"Let's go now!" Stephen shouts.
Rob returns Feraligatr and Typhlosion as Pikachu jumps onto Rob's shoulder. Stephen starts running off with Melissa and Rob following behind.
"Thank you Stephen," Lucario says.
Lucario closes his eyes and then minutes later Stephen arrives to the Pokémon Center and gives Lucario to Nurse Joy. Nurse Joy and Chansey take Lucario to the back room. Our heroes wait patiently. Nurse Joy comes out of the room so Stephen stands up with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"How is he doing?" Stephen asks.
"He is doing much better now so you guys should go eat and rest up," Nurse Joy replies, "Lucario will be able to leave tomorrow."
"May I see him please?" Stephen asks.
"You sure can," Nurse Joy replies.
Stephen walks into the back room and goes to Lucario's bed.
"How do you feel Lucario?" Stephen asks.
"I feel much better thanks to you," Lucario replies.
"I only brought you here," Stephen states.
"That's the point," Lucario says, "I was rude to you and you still cared about me."
"Well you got an attitude that I have," Stephen announces, "I got used to it."
Lucario laughs.
"Well I promise I will become a better friend," Lucario states.
"Alright Lucario," Stephen says, "Goodnight, love you."
"Goodnight," Lucario says with a tear falling down his face, "Love you too."
Stephen pats Lucario's head and then walks out. Nurse Joy goes back into Lucario's room as our heroes go eat and after eating, they shower and then head off to bed. Rob is on the bottom of the bunk bed as Stephen is on the top bunk above Melissa. Raichu, Pichu, and Pikachu are on the floor cuddled together.
"Lucario sure is tough," Melissa states.
"Yeah he sure is tough," Stephen says.
"We better head off to bed so we can head off to Ecruteak City for Melissa's next gym battle," Rob states.
"Yeah and hopefully Lucario will be feeling much better," Stephen says.
"Yeah, well goodnight guys," Melissa says.
Our heroes fall asleep and then the next morning our heroes wake up, eat breakfast, and go into the main room where they see Lucario looking healthier than ever. Our heroes walk over to Lucario.
"Good morning," Lucario says, "I'm feeling way better."
"We are doing well ourselves," Stephen says.
Pikachu jumps from Stephen's shoulder onto Lucario's.
Nurse Joy walks to our heroes.
"Well Lucario is doing much better," Nurse Joy states.
"That's good because we have to head off now," Rob announces.
Our heroes say goodbye to Nurse Joy and then head off.
"So where is Ecruteak City guys?" Melissa asks petting Pichu on her shoulder.
"We'll show you the way," Stephen replies.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Lucario asks, "Let's go!"
Lucario starts to run off as our heroes follow behind.
