Our heroes are traveling South of Blackthorn City on their way to Silver Town for Marina's contest and Stephen's battle against Melissa.
"So where is this Mount Silver?" Lucario asks.
"Far North of Johto but we have to return to New Bark Town first," Stephen replies.
"How come?" Lucario asks.
"Stephen probably wants to switch out Pokémon before battling Melissa," Rob replies.
"No matter what Pokémon Stephen uses he will beat Melissa," Marina states.
Stephen smiles and shakes his head.
"I am tough after all," Stephen announces.
"Don't be too overconfident cuz because that will cause you to lose," Rob explains.
"Yeah I know that why I'm not bragging about it like Ash would," Stephen says.
Lucario and Rob laugh.
"So Rob why are you and Clair together?" Marina asks.
"Well we been friends since we were kids and had a crush on each other since then but hadn't had the confidence to tell each other how we feel," Rob replies.
"But years later you do?" Lucario questions.
"Yeah," Rob says smiling.
"After flirting with every beautiful girl you have seen?" Stephen questions.
"Um well… you could say that," Rob says laughing.
"Hey he didn't flirt with me," Marina says, "What's that make me? Ugly?"
"No he knows your too young and have a crush on me," Stephen replies.
Marina blushes as Rob laughs. Our heroes make it back to New Bark Town the next day and head to Prof Elm's for Stephen to exchange his team. Our heroes enter the lab and go straight to Prof Elm who is in the research room of his lab. Prof Elm stops looking at his computer after noticing our heroes.
"What a surprise to see you guys here," Prof Elm says, "Melissa, Vincent, and Jimmy just visited yesterday and they are off to Silver Town. Melissa wants a challenge with you Stephen for your championship title."
"Yeah I know," Stephen states.
"So Rob how are you feeling?" Prof Elm asks.
"Much better that how I was in the Ice Cave," Rob replies.
"Professor Elm how far is Mount Silver?" Lucario asks.
"It is located between Blackthorn City and Kanto's Indigo League," Prof Elm replies.
"Before we head to Silver Town I would like to exchange Infernape for Staraptor and Toxicroak and I need to call Liza for Charizard," Stephen states.
"Sure thing," Prof Elm says.
Stephen gives Prof Elm the Poké Balls of Staraptor and Toxicroak as Prof Elm gives Stephen the Poké Ball for Infernape.
"The phone is over there," Prof Elm stays pointing.
"Alright thanks Professor Elm," Stephen states.
Stephen goes to the phone and calls Liza as Rob, Lucario, Raichu, and Marina stay with Prof Elm talking about everything they been through.
"Hey Stephen how are you?" Liza asks.
"Good and yourself?" Stephen replies.
"Good, good so what's up?" Liza asks.
"Could you send Charizard to Silver Town for my championship battle?" Stephen asks.
"Sure thing Stephen I wish you luck," Liza replies, "Oh and your Charizard will be so happy to be battling with you again."
"I know I'm happy myself," Stephens says, "Well see you later, bye."
"Bye," Liza says.
Stephen and Liza hang up. Stephen returns to the others.
"Well we best be going off already Professor Elm," Stephen states.
"It was nice of you all to drop in and I wish you a safe trip and I wish you luck in your battle and you in your contest," Prof Elm says.
"Thanks," our heroes say.
Our heroes wave bye and then head off to Silver Town. Our heroes stop for the night before reaching Mount Silver and a day later they finally arrive to Silver Town. As our heroes arrive to Silver Town a storm hits so they rush to the Pokémon Center. As our heroes enter the Pokémon Center, Rob rushes to Nurse Joy as May sees our heroes.
"Nurse Joy my beauty," Rob says, "Though I am taken I would like to take you out on a date."
Raichu this time doesn't hold back. Raichu uses Thunder and shocks Rob. Rob falls to the ground surprising our heroes.
"Another Brock?" May asks.
"You could say that," Stephen replies.
"May it is so nice to meet you in person," Marina says.
"Same," May says.
"So when is your contest?" Lucario asks.
"It's tomorrow," May replies.
"Well let's spend time together and then we will cheer you both on tomorrow!" Rob shouts.
May, Marina, Lucario, and Stephen freak out.
"How?" May asks.
"You get use to the pain," Rob replies.
Our heroes laugh and then hear an explosion from outside. Our heroes run to the windows and see people running the opposite way. The people are screaming, crying, and scared out of their mind. There are in Pokémon running away scared. Finally all the people and Pokémon move out of the way as our heroes see a building burning.
"No," May says, "That's the contest hall."
"What's going to happen?" Marina asks.
"We'll find out later," Rob replies, "We have to put that fire out now."
Our heroes run out of the Pokémon Center. Rob throws two Poké Balls bringing our Gyarados and Feraligatr. Marina throws her Poké all and brings out Wani-Wani. May lastly throws her Poké Ball and brings out Wartortle. Gyarados, Feraligatr, Wani-Wani, and Wartortle all use Hydro Pump on the burning building as the storm grows harder. As the Pokémon work together the fire is finally stopped.
"Who could do this?" Lucario asks.
"We could," a voice says.
Our heroes see Team Rocket as Melissa, Vincent, and Jimmy walk out of the Pokémon Center after seeing our heroes.
"Why did you do this?" May asks.
"To show our power and this is our start to rule the world!" the leader relies.
"That's never going to happen!" Stephen shouts.
"Yeah!" Jimmy shouts.
Jimmy, Melissa, and Vincent step beside our heroes.
"Who is going to stop us?" the leader asks.
"We will!" Melissa replies.
"We'll see about that," the leader says, "Stop them!"
Every member of Team Rock throws a Poké Ball. Arbok, Weezing, Crobat, Skuntank, Muk, Seviper, Swalot, Drapion, Nidoking, Honchkrow, Nidoqueen, Kangaskhan, Raticate, Vileplume, Houndoom, Hypno, Carnivine, Porygon, Ursaring, Persian, Weavile, Tyranitar, and Cacturne all appear.
"See if you can defeat us," the leader says.
"Alright!" Rob shouts.
Our heroes throw their Poké Balls. May has Blaziken, Beautifly, Venusaur, Wartortle, and Glaceon appear. Stephen has Pikachu, Lucario, Blaziken, Typhlosion, and Infernape appear. Rob has Garchomp, Gyarados, Salamence, Gallade, Raichu, and Feraligatr appear. Marina has Wani-Wani, Misdreavus, and Jigglypuff appear. Jimmy has Typhlosion and Beedrill appear. Vincent has Meganium and Magneton appears. Lastly Melissa has Pichu, Togetic, Meganium, Bellossom, Azumarill, and Ninetales appear.
"Melissa give Togetic that stone you have," Vincent says.
Melissa gets the stone out of her backpack and throws it to Togetic. Togetic catches it and then starts to glow. Togetic evolves into Togekiss.
"Attack!" the Team Rocket members shout.
"Defend!" our heroes shout.
All the Pokémon start fighting as the trainers carefully watch. Team Rocket doesn't care who gets hurt but our heroes pay attention to the damage their Pokémon takes in this battle. Team Rocket outnumbers our heroes by seven until our heroes see someone flying on Charizard. The person on the Charizard throws six Poké Balls bringing out a Snorlax, Skarmory, Steelix, Metagross, Lucario, and Bastiodon. Rick lands in front of the six Pokémon with Charizard.
"Glad I came along for the ride," Rick says.
Now the battle is even between Team Rocket and heroes.
"No matter how many Pokémon you have you can't and won't defeat us!" the leader shouts.
"They must have used Dark Balls because all of our Pokémon are getting most of the damage," Rob states.
"We still got to stop them!" Stephen declares.
"Let's do it!" Vincent shouts.
Our heroes have their Pokémon attack faster and harder. Within time Team Rocket's Pokémon start fainting as well as some of our heroes Pokémon. The fainted Pokémon out of heroes are returning quickly. Stephen notices that all the Pokémon are becoming badly injured worse than that of fainting.
"We are losing Pokémon fast so use the secret weapon!" the leader shouts.
A Team Rocket member throws a Poké Ball. The ball opens as every member of Team Rocket returns all their Pokémon fainted, weak, or not. The Poké Ball releases Deoxys.
"Destroy the Pokémon and their trainers!" the leader shouts.
Deoxys starts attacking our heroes and their Pokémon trying to kill the Pokémon instead of faint them so our heroes quickly return their Pokémon. Deoxys goes to attack Marina now so Stephen jumps and takes the hit. The hit kills Stephen as Deoxys goes to attack the rest of our heroes but another attack collides with Deoxys's attack. A shadow figure hovers above our heroes. Deoxys goes to attack it but the Pokémon avoids all Deoxys's attacks.
"What Pokémon is that?" the leader asks.
The Pokémon moves into the light revealing itself.
"It is I…" the Pokémon says, "Mewtwo!"
Mewtwo is visible to everyone.
