Chapter 12: A Tough Choice.

Ash, Gary, Satoshi, Kasumi, Umi, Yomi, Brock, Dawn, Pikachu, Piplup, Dianna Orion and Virgo all waited at the docks, why? Well there was a big contest going and the prize was a ribbon that could be used in all of the Grand Festivals around the world. And May was coming to compete.

"There's the ship!" said Dawn.

That's when they saw May waving at them.

Within a minute the ship docked.

"Hey guys! It's been a long time." Said May.

"It has!" said Ash.

"Do Drew didn't join you?" asked Brock.

"No…" said May with a sweat drop.

(Flashback)

May was planning her trip to Sinnoh.

"Mina told me about that place where Eevee can evolve to Glaceon." Thought May aloud looking at a map.

That's when he noticed Drew…

"Hey Drew." Said May walking up to him.

Drew noticed the map of Sinnoh region.

"So I take it your going to enter the Wallace Cup?" asked Drew.

"That's right, are you going to enter?" asked May.

"No…" said Drew.

"Why?" asked May.

"Well I put some thought into it and I think it's best I don't go some place where I can get stuck in situation that should never happen." Said Drew.

"What that's supposed to mean?" asked May with her eye twitching.

"I lived on a pirate for a while May… I don't want to get ragged into their situation for a long time…" said Drew.

(End of Flashback)

"So… he didn't want to get caught in the situation with Sailor Senshi… did he?" asked Ash with a big sweat drop.

"No…" sighed May, "But there's no new enemy you guys have right?"

There was an awkward silence…

"You do have a new enemy… don't you?" asked May.

"It's called the Rainbow Brigade." Sighed Ash.

"Rainbow Brigade?" asked May with a laugh, "Are you kidding about that name?"

"No… not really." Said Ash with a laugh.

Ash began to explain the Rainbow Brigade to May in a nearby park.

"So… despite the name, they have recruited Zeno and Orochimaru and three other people?" asked May shocked.

Ash nodded, "They recruited one of Luffy's old enemies, someone Ranma knows and Paul." Said Ash.

"Paul… isn't her your rival here?" asked May, "Why would he join up with them?"

"I have no idea…" said Ash shaking.

"You know… I've been thinking about something." Said Gary.

"What?" asked Ash.

"There's someone I think should get involved… Reggie." Said Gary.

"Reggie?" asked May.

"That's Paul's older brother, unlike Paul he's a breeder that is friends with his Pokemon and all the Pokemon he takes care of." Said Ash.

"That must be Reiji's counterpart." Said Satoshi.

Gary nodded, "I think it's best if he gets involved."

"I don't know…" said Ash.

"I doubt he's a Senshi fan boy." Said everyone else.

"What?" asked Ash.

"Your problem is that you have pride like half of the others… the but the main reason is why you don't like revealing your identity is because fans." Said Gary.

Ash sweat dropped.

"It's no wonder that Mina still hasn't found out." Said Dawn.

"Still?" asked May shocked.

"I'll think about it." Sighed Ash.

That's when everyone saw something or someone… when they looked there, it was gone.

"What was that?" asked May.

"For quite a while something's been following us… we don't know what or who it is" said Ash.

"I just hope it's friendly." Said Satoshi.

The others nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile in the Rainbow Brigade HQ…

"Please! I really want to go to the World of Pokemon!" yelled Pumpkin.

Paul sweat dropped… it seemed that whenever one was sent to their world… then they would come… and from what he heard about Pumpkin… she was almost as bad as Aoi when it came to working with her.

"Sure you can go to the World of Pokemon." Said Princess Prism.

"All right!" cheered Pumpkin.

"Good luck." Said Kuro.

"Shut up…" muttered Paul.

Meanwhile in the World of Pokemon, Ash was looking at the lake thinking.

"Still thinking about the idea of Reggie finding out?" asked Satoshi.

"Yeah…" said Ash.

"Oh come on, I'm sure he's not a Senshi fan… even if the Sailor Senshi are big names here." Said Satoshi.

"I know… it's not that." Said Ash, "When I met Reggie, he said that Paul may have had a cruel streak he's still a good person. And I believe it… but this…"

"Hey… come on…" said Satoshi.

"I just don't think I should get Reggie involved." Said Ash.

"I see… that makes sense…" said Satoshi.

"You knew that, didn't you?" asked Ash.

"We ate the same person." Said Satoshi with a laugh.

"All right! It's Neo Sailor Moon! With her… um… clone… cousin… brother… thingy…" said a voice.

They turned around and saw Pumpkin with Paul with a look on his face that said, "I don't want to be seen with her."

"What is he?" asked Pumpkin who was very confused.

"Alternate version of me form another dimension." Said Ash.

"So that's what it is! Weird!" yelled Pumpkin.

That made both Ash and Satoshi sweat drop.

"Either way! Coe my crystal bright!" yelled Pumpkin taking out her orange Crystal.

That's when an orange monster appeared.

"All right!" said Ash taking out his communicator, "I'm at Lake Valor! I need everyone to come right now!"

"Right!" came a chorus of voices from the communicator.

"Moon Crystal Power!"

"Solar Crisis!"

"Make Up!"

Ash and Satoshi turned into their Senshi forms… right when the rest Ash's group showed up.

"So you guys are already here!" said Pumpkin, "That's good to know!"

"All right!" said Sailor Solaris.

"Solaris Solar Sunspot Smash!"

"Terra Giga Impact Ignition!"

"Oh! Wow new attacks!" said Neo Sailor Moon.

"Gum Gum Flaming Gattling!"

"Mercury Ice Wave!"

"Double Elemental Punch!"

"Golden Spiraling Shuriken!"

That's when more attacks hit the monster causing it to scream in pain.

"All right you guys made it!" said Sailor Saturn.

"Sure did!" said Sailor Venus.

"Hey guys!" yelled May from the side lines waving.

"Hey May it's been a while!" yelled Sailor Mars.

"Shouldn't we be fishing the monster off?" asked Sailor Juno.

"I'm on it!" said Neo Sailor Moon.

"Neo Moon Glowing Star!"

With that the monster was destroyed.

Neo Sailor Moon looked up at Paul… then she jumped towards him and stood in front of him.

"Paul! I need to know something… how would you feel if your brother got involved in this!" said Neo Sailor Moon.

Paul's eyes widened then went back to their usual cold look, "I don't care if he gets involved or not. So if he's involved then it's up to you… but who knows… your fear of fans is well known in the Rainbow Brigade."

"So is your brother a fan?" asked Neo Sailor Moon.

"I have no idea… it's not something I would talk to brother about." Said Paul with a sweat drop.

This made everyone sweat drop.

"Either way it's up to you… I don't care either way…" said Paul who turned to Pumpkin, "Let's go."

"Oh, okay…" said Pumpkin.

The two of them left in a flash of orange light.

"That's it! I'm going to tell Reggie…" muttered Neo Sailor Moon.

Sometime later… everyone (including the Sailor Senshi in the civilian forms) was looking at a map of the Sinnoh region.

"So after you get the next Badge, your going to double back this way and go back Veilstone city?" asked May.

"That's right." Said Ash with a nod, "I saw Paul's look he doesn't want his brother to find out he's doing."

The others nodded in agreement.

"So what do you think what's going to happen?" asked Naruto.

"I have no idea…" said Ash, "But seeing your brother do such of thing is horrible…"

"You got that right." Said Sasuke with a sigh.

Eido who was sitting next to Sasuke inched away slightly.

"What was that for?" asked Sasuke.

"Nothing really…" said Eido.

Sasuke glared at Eido… which made Eido sweat drop.

Outside the Pokemon Center the mysterious figure that has been following them listened though the window.

"It's just that you shouldn't be talking about brother issues." Said Eido.

"What's that supposed to mean!" yelled Sasuke.

"Brother issues…" though the mysterious figure with a sigh as he walked away.

With a thought consideration being made for Reggie to find out things are going to get interested… however with the mysterious figure continuing to watch them… that's when things are going get complicated.

Next Time: The mysterious figure finally appears, who is he? He's an alley to the Sailor Senshi... He's a ninja with skills, but his identity is hidden from all! Who is he? Why is helping the Sailor Senshi? Why would he even care? Only one person knows these answers, but will this person hide it and confront this new ally or will they tell the other Senshi? Find out next time!
