Everyone saw Charizard after he attacked the arm. "What is that?" Pearl asked in fear. Then Ash and the gang came into the scene. "Pikachu!" Ash yelled to Pikachu as they ran towards him. "Pika pi." Steven and the gems saw Ash when he did. "Oh great," Jessie said in anger. "The twerp trio has arrived." "Don't worry that purple head of yours," Meowth said. "We'll show that twerp whose boss, just like we did with the crayon girls." Meowth pressed a button that released a giant arm that pushed Ash to the side. Everyone gasped in worry. "Pika." "Ash, Are you okay?" Asked Cilan. "I'm fine." Team rocket released a giant claw which grabbed both Steven and Pikachu. "Steven!" The Gems said in worry. "Oh no you don't!" Ash said as he headed toward Team Rocket's Mecha. "Ash, what are you doing?" Iris yelled to Ash. "Axew!" "They got Pikachu!" Ash yelled back to Iris while dodging the arms that headed towards them. Everyone was worried. "That twerp can't just call it quits!" Jessie said in anger. "If he won't quit, we'll make him quit!" James said. "Then let's just blast off back to our own little world." Meowth said. "We got Pikachu, and the boy can be a slave." Team Rocket had just put Steven and Pikachu in a sphere like cage in the chest of the Mecha. Ash climbed on to one of the arms. Team Rocket gasped in surprise.
"I'm coming Pikachu!" Ash yelled climbing the arm he was Arm. "Aww he's got that look in his eyes!" Meowth said in worry. "Well look at these!" James said. The mecha's arms were once again attacking Ash. "What is he doing?" Pearl said. "He could get killed!" Ash was almost to the cage. Garnet tried to get the Mecha's arm off of her. "Hurry up, Hurry up, Hurry up!" Amethyst said trying to hurry garnet. Ash had successfully reached the cage. "Are you two okay?" Asked Ash. "Who are you? Asked Steven in return. "No time for answers," Ash said "I'm gonna get you out of here." Team Rocket had just hit the cage with one of the arms. "Uh oh." Team Rocket said. Steven and Pikachu were free. Pikachu jumped into Ash's arms. "Pikachu are you okay?" Ash happily Asked Pikachu. "Pika!" The machine was exploding, bit by bit. Steven was falling when Charizard caught him and gently putted him down. "Steven, are you okay?" Garnet asked Steven. "Yeah," Steven answered. "But where's that boy." "Oh-no!" Iris said in worry. "Ash still must be there." "Ew!" "This can't be good." Meowth said in worry. "Not surprising!" Jessie said. "No matter what world we're in, It's always the same." James said. The machine had completely exploded. "We're blasting off again!" Team Rocket we're gone in a flash.
Everyone ran towards that machine that is now a pile of rubble. Iris called out if they were okay. "Pikachu, Ash!" "Ew." Pearl asked in worry, "Do you think they're…" Some of the broken machine started to move. Everyone gasped. Ash was climbing out of the pile, as was Pikachu. They were both happy to see each other. "Pikachu, you're okay." Charizard came flying next to him. "Charizard, you did a great job out there." Ash said. "That was awesome!" Steven said in excitement. Ash came walking up to Steven. "You saved my Pikachu," he said. "Thanks so much. My name's Ash Ketchum and it's nice to meet you." Iris and Cilan walks next to him. "I'm Iris, and this is my partner Axew." Iris said. "Ew axew." "I am Cilan." Cilan said. "I am pleased to meet you." "And you met Charizard." Ash said. "Char." "I'm Steven." The boy said. Then he introduced the gems. "And this is Garnet, Amethyst, and Pearl." "Hello." Garnet said. "S'up." Amethyst said. "Pleased to meet you." Pearl said.
"You did great today Charizard." Ash said as he brought out a pokeball. "Return!" Charizard retreated into it's pokeball. Everyone was surprised. "Uh, Ash?" Steven said getting Ash's attention. "I don't mean to alarm you, but I think that ball just ate your dragon." "Don't worry Steven." Ash said. "It's just a pokeball." "Pika pika." "A what?" Amethyst said. "A pokeball is a special container for Pokémon." Cilan said. "Poke what?" Pearl asked. "Looks like this is going to be a long day." Iris said, "Axew ew.'
