Alright, first (Official) Pokemon story.
enjoy!
Ash was twitchy as he stood in the alley where Red told him to wait. He looked around nervously while Pikachu looked around also, feeling paranoia.
"Es! Espeon!" Ash jumped, Pikachu sparking as it saw the Espeon walk into the alley, a blue glowing Will-O-Wisp in its fanged jaws while Red walked next to it, holding five folders in his hands and gave a nod, beckoning for Ash to follow.
The two attempted to look inconspicuous as they walked along the road, not looking at anyone in particular. Ash wasn't sure about who he was more concerned to be caught by, Officer Jenny or Team Rocket.
"Arc!" He heard the bark and jumped, immediately linking Growlithe and Arcanine with Officer Jenny.
"Red? Ash!" Blue stated, looking rather surprised at the two, lowering the flashlight and Arcanine stopping the glow of a held back move Ash didn't recognize.
"Er, hi Blue." Ash awkwardly waved and Blue glared, putting his hands on his hips as he glared at Red in particular.
"You've been gone for hours! Where in the name of Arceus have you been?" Blue seethed and Red pressed past into the safety of the Pokémon center and into their room.
Once the door had been successfully closed Red tossed the folders at Blue. Said trainer caught them and opened one out of curiosity, eyes widening in surprise.
"I- what? Is this a file with not only the location of the Team Rocket headquarters, but the layout?"
Red only gave a slightly mocking smile.
"What?" Max yawned, leaning over from the top bunk across. It was late in the night, and everyone was sleeping
"Go back to bed Max. We're traveling tomorrow." Blue soothed, using a flashlight to look at the blueprints and eventually, the name of the city.
"Fuchsia City." Blue murmured, looking at the map and the distance they had to travel to get to the city.
"Right, head east and maybe get on the bike route, or at least follow it south. It'll be the fastest way." Blue sighed, looking at the days of travel they'd have to go over.
Red shook his head and pointed to another folder, Blue opened it and his eyes widened. "the Lake of Rage too? Mahogany town? Red, this will split us up." Blue warned and Red gave a nod, Blue's eyes lightening as he realized. "Oh, you sly Vulpix."
"What?" Ash asked, blinking in confusion while Blue pulled up a map on his Pokedex.
"We're here in Viridian. There's an issue here, in Fuchsia city, but also in Johto, here and…here." Blue pointed, showing the two very different locations.
"The train is the fastest way, but you still need to head north, then east to get to Mahogany town." Blue pointed out, and Red nodded.
Red pointed to the file, and then to the sleeping occupants of the room, Blue shaking his head while repeating, "No, it's too dangerous."
Red's eyes flashed as he crossed his arms, pointing to each of the group, a total of five people.
"…Okay, five seems okay, but I'm not comfortable sending them into Team Rocket territory." Blue murmured and Red gave him a slightly sympathetic look.
"Wait, where would I be during this?" Ash asked carefully, and Red gave him a look, red eyes practically glowing in the dark.
"Well…I think you should come with us." Blue said, Ash's eyes widened before he opened his mouth to complain.
"Just because with Red here, people might think that he's you! You may become a target, Ash." Blue warned and Ash silenced himself immediately.
"I already am." He muttered, Blue looking at Red with alarm, Red giving only a nod.
"Then you'll have to come with us, you can't risk your friends." Blue warned and Ash looked over at each and every one of his sleeping friends, each calmly resting in the blankets, and he was going to send them off the next day.
"…For their own good?" Ash asked, doubting it as Red placed one hand on his shoulder, causing him to look up into the red eyes of his counterpart.
"…Okay." Ash agreed, looking at the sleeping forms of Brock. And Misty, Pikachu looking almost tearfully at everyone.
Red walked forward, taking the files, all except for the one about the Lake of Rage, leaving it on the small nightstand before he moved to his bed, packing up quickly and silently. It helped that he never bought many things during the stay, and had next to none when he arrived.
"We're leaving, now?" Ash stated in surprise while Blue contemplated it himself before nodding and moving to his own bed.
"Do you want to have to tell them that we're splitting? They trust you; they'll know where to go." Blue pointed out, and Ash paused, looking at Pikachu who seemed torn himself.
"Pika…" Pikachu frowned, looking sad before hesitantly jumping onto Ash's bunk and waiting.
"I- I'm sorry guys." Ash whispered to his sleeping friends, moving to quickly jam his things into his backpack, Red watching with a frown at the aggressive action but didn't say a word against it.
"Let's go." Blue nodded, the three quietly walking out of the room, Ash leaving one last look at all of his friends, guilt clear on his face as he quietly closed the door.
"Red?" Blue asked with confusion as Red flipped out a Pokeball, a Charizard appearing with little more than a snort.
"Oh, we're flying?" Blue sighed, flipping out a Pokeball and Pidgeot stood, looking at Ash expectantly.
"Uh…" Ash shuffled awkwardly and Blue's eyes lit with understanding, trying not to laugh as his lips twitched.
Movement caused Ash to look at Red, who had mounted his Charizard and gave one hand, just as before.
"It's okay Red, he can ride with m-" Blue stopped as without hesitation, Ash jumped upon Charizard, who straightened and walked towards the exit, taking flight the moment only its tail was still inside.
Blue shook his head in slight disbelief, following out before jumping on his Pidgeot, taking flight quickly as the strong flapping of his bird filled the air, quickly following after the Charizard.
Red didn't bother looking as they flew, neck to neck in the darkness.
x-(X)-x
Ash jolted awake as his mount shifted. He blearily casted his eyes open, noticing the rising sun in the distance and groaned, trying to go back asleep.
A large jolt caused Ash to yelp, eyes flashing awake as he instinctively grabbed onto the closest thing, which happened to be Charizard's neck.
Thankfully, Ash's hands weren't big enough to choke the poor beast, and instead just made a nice handhold in his sleepy state.
Red smiled, looking at the nearly sleeping Ash, having kept a firm hold on the younger boy's backpack, keeping him from sliding off the fire lizard in their above normal speed.
Pidgeot had struggled to keep up with Charizards normal speed, it having doubled from flying in the icy gusts of wind on Mt. Silver. Instead, Charizard lowered its speed to one that Pidgeot could keep pace with, a speed still above normal as by the time the sun set, the bicycling route just in sight.
"Should we stop?" Blue shouted over the wind, causing Red to look at him, then at the slowly tiring Pidgeot.
Red's Charizard was still flying strong, not a hitch in its flap. It gave a small puff and the Pidgeot gave a breathless cough.
Red gave a slight nod as Charizard angled down, aiming for a clear patch just east of the path and out of sight. Pidgeot landed and collapsed slightly, Charizard landing and settling down easily, observing the area and giving a loud roar, clearing the area from wild Pokémon that could disrupt them.
"Ash still asleep?" Blue asked, looking at the nearly asleep Ash. Red gave a nod, gently lifting Ash from Charizard and settling him on the ground, Charizard letting its wing create a blanket for Ash as the boy laid on the ground.
"Are we flying in the morning?" Blue asked, already expecting the nod enough for him not to complain. Blue didn't say anything as he let his Pidgeot duck its head into its feather, He himself lying down next to the bird, seeking heat in the night.
Red casted a look at Blue before giving a sigh and moving himself, resting against a tree while still having the ability to see his two sleeping partners and the two sleeping Pokémon.
Slowly, Red himself relaxed against the tree, finally finding time to savor the thick bark on his back and not the thick brutal chill of ice and rock. It was a pleasant surprise, something that was so insignificant brought enough comfort it was breathtaking.
Red closed his eyes, not anywhere close to sleeping; his time on the mountain had reduced his sleep intake to unbelievable measures, allowing him to stay awake with little to no sleep for long periods of time.
They didn't sleep long, the sun having already started to rise when they landed. At most, they slept a total of a few hours, rising again with a groan and Blue cursing, swearing something that Red recognized him saying from their journey.
Red formed a smile, rising and gently nudging Charizard, who opened one lizard eye, already wide awake with a single blink. Charizard prompted Ash, rolling him onto the ground with a move of its wings, rolling its eyes while Pikachu and Ash didn't even budge in response.
Charizard puffed smoke at Pidgeot, who breathed it in, coughing and jolting awake in surprise, wings snapping open, smacking Blue and causing him to jolt awake, grunting from the impact.
Blue looked up at Red who was smirking slightly, and Blue looked up, squinting up and seeing the sunlight with a sigh. "Great, we're on the road again?"
Red gave a single nod and Charizard moved, stretching its wings and awaiting to be mounted by Red. Red climbed upon, grabbing Ash and pulling the sleeping boy up, making sure the Pikachu was secured before they jumped into the air, both of the Pokémon's movements were stiff and awkward at first due to sleep, but after a mile they relaxed enough for them to cruise at an easy altitude, stretching over the cycling path before traveling south, hugging the ocean as they moved.
At some point Ash woke up, groaning and nearly sliding off if it wasn't for Red's strong hold around the boy's torso, locking him in place.
Ash jumped, the sudden movement jolting Pikachu who yelped in surprise at the altitude they were at. Blue laughed, attracting Ash's attention over the slight distance they were flying at.
"Where are we?" Ash shouted, and instead Blue nodded to Red, who took out his Pokedex, flipping to the map section of the device. Ash took it gingerly, Pikachu looking over for a peek while the map beeped at where they were.
"We're almost there already?" Ash shouted to Blue in surprise and Blue smirked, "Never underestimate Pidgeot and Red's Charizard! I've seen that great lizard shake mountains!" Blue laughed, and the Charizard in question puffed smoke just to spite Blue, causing the man to have to fly through it.
Blue scowled, giving a slight cough as his Pidgeot spun, firing off a wave of golden stars in which Charizard preformed a quick roll to avoid, giving a slight growl at the sign.
Before Blue could dodge out of the way, Red's Charizard swung its tail around, the fiery whip slamming into his bird's crest and causing it to squawk angrily before its wings glowed and it quickly gained on Charizard.
Charizard snorted, its claws lengthening to nearly ridiculous lengths as it turned, swiping upwards and redirecting the Pidgeot and Blue who scowled at Red, who offered a slight smile.
With a nudge from Red and a pat from Blue, the two continued their flying, still ignoring one another.
"Pika?" Pikachu asked lowly, and Ash shrugged, what could have been a dangerous battle only being a mock game.
It was only a few hours and Ash grew bored, sighing as he looked around at the fast moving ground below. They had passed the Cycling route and now were gaining on Fuchsia city, and only in two days!
"There it is!" Blue shouted over the wind, pointing in the distance where Pikachu chirped loudly in excitement. "Pikapi! Pika chu chu!"
Ash laughed and nodded, seeing the buildings, "Looks like we made It Pikachu!" He smiled, ruffling his Pokémon's fur and head while the Pikachu gave a happy "Chaa!"
They swooped down, taking a slight detour to swoop over the safari zone, and ash laughed, pointing to a new herd of Tauros which snorted at the sight of the two flying Pokémon. A flock of Pidgey flapped up, swarming the two and taking keen interest with Pidgeot which ignored them.
As they swooped lower in the trees, they gently moved to the right, avoiding curious Venomoth while Tangela and Scyther observed them from tree branches, Paris and Exeggcute looked up from the grass.
"Remember when we were here last time?" Ash asked his companion who gave a happy nod as they peered over the flying fire Pokémon, watching young trainers look for their desired Pokémon and look up at them curiously.
One trainer even had the bravery to try and get his Oddish to use razor leaf on Charizard, thinking it was wild. Charizard roared, causing the Oddish to scramble back towards its trainer while the leafs burnt up with a small swish of its tail.
Red smiled at that, looking at the running Pokémon, and even across the lakes within, spotting several Dratini and even a Dragonair as it broke the surface, looking at the two flying Pokémon curiously.
"Hey Red, did you ever catch a Pokémon from Fuchsia City?" Ash asked out of curiosity.
Red looked out, not down at the Safari Zone below, but out towards the see as he had a wistful look on his face as he gave a slight nod, and the Charizard angled over the building, landing on a small ledge by the steps that led up a hill to the Gym and Pokémon center.
Blue landed next also, looking around curiously as they dismounted looking around casually. Blue's face had a slight smile on it as he looked around, as if remembering.
"I remember when I was here before- I caught an Exeggcute and a Rhyhorn." Blue smiled, looking at the opening gate before looking at Red with a grin, "And this was the first place where you tried out that Lapras you got back in Silph Co. Right?" Blue smirked while Red gave a nod.
"A Lapras?" Ash asked in surprise, and Red gave a slight nod.
"Yeah, rare now a days. Red was lucky enough to get one handed to him, bet you've never seen one, eh?" Blue asked Ash who shook his head.
"Actually, I had one for a while, but I released it later." He admitted, and Blue blinked in surprise before shaking its head and Red rolled his eyes.
"I'm finding the similarities between you two growing bigger every second I have to spend with you." Blue smirked, the three of them dismounting and recalling their Pokémon, causally walking along Fuchsia city while Pikachu rode on Ash's shoulder, without hesitation, Red summoned his Espeon, letting the lavender furred creature walk calmly next to him.
"So…what exactly are we doing here?" Ash asked Blue, quietly walking next to the older male.
"Looking for anything suspicious, don't worry, Red has a knack for finding trouble." Blue rolled his eyes, knowing full well that Red heard him.
"You can say that again. Last time I was here, I got trapped in some freaky ninja mansion with Koga. Of course, Misty and Brock were with me." Ash added and Blue lifted one eyebrow.
"A ninja mansion? See, why couldn't we do anything interesting Red?" Blue laughed, and Red arched one eyebrow, his Espeon glowing purple before Blue suddenly tripped suspiciously.
"Well, eventually Koga and I had to team up to defeat Team Rocket, who tried to steal our Pokémon." Ash added and Blue frowned, looking at the Gym which was behind them.
"Last time I was here, Koga was actually a little tough. He didn't seem like much of an issue if Team Rocket could steal from him."
"Yeah well, Koga now is actually in the Elite Four, so maybe he did get better." Ash shrugged, causing Blue to arch one eyebrow. "Really? Who's the gym leader now?"
"No idea." Ash shrugged and Red gave a slight hum of questioning as they continued on, looking at a few dozen small homes and eventually, a small Pokémon zoo right outside of the entrance to the Safari Zone.
People were bustling around, looking at awe at the Pokémon behind the cages, not looking upset at the limited space they had.
"…Red, anything?" Blue asked and Red gave a shake of his head, Espeon shaking her head also.
"Fine, do you think we should split? Meet back at the Pokémon center at night?" Blue asked and Red gave a shrug before pulling out a Pokeball and summoning his Charizard again, Espeon butting against his hip and placing herself back into a Pokeball.
"Pika." Pikachu stated in surprise, and Ash mirrored it, never had a Pokémon put itself back in a ball for him!
"We'll take the ground." Blue nodded, summoning his Arcanine in which Ash mounted behind Blue, the large lion-dog darting off while the Charizard flapped and took off.
Arcanine was a graceful creature, darting off into the woods and moving with a pace that was unmatched. A few Pokémon saw it and chased after, two wild Vulpix yipping and trying to catch the evolved form. The Arcanine said nothing, but slowed slightly, allowing them to playfully nip at his tail.
Ash laughed, Pikachu squealing in excitement at the speed while Blue nodded.
"Impressive, isn't he?" He grinned and Ash nodded. "Only one who's around the same speed is my Jolt, but of course, I can't ride him." Blue rolled his eyes and Pikachu nodded.
"Arc!" Arcanine growled, skidding to a stop suddenly, claws raking up the ground as it struggled to stop, apparently, in the middle of nowhere.
"Arcanine! What is it?" Blue asked, accidently slamming his face into Arcanine's mane. Ash yelped, and Pikachu cried out, just managing to snag one of Arcanine's ears to avoid flying off.
It was quiet, and Arcanine was growling at something, an eye casting every other way until Blue's breathing hitched; Ash glanced to his left to see what it was.
"Look." Blue scarcely breathed, nodding to the left where Pikachu was looking, and indeed, Ash saw what it was.
It was a small lake, nearly hidden by the trees and walking across the water of the lake was something that Ash had only scarcely seen before.
"Suicune." Ash stated in surprise, the large blue creature not having a care in the world as it walked across the surface of the water, calmly drinking from the lake surface and walking along.
Arcanine was staring at it calmly, as if it was an old friend. Blue of course, had never seen such a creature before.
"What is that?" He asked in a hushed voice, Ash shooting him a look of surprise.
"That's Suicune. It's part of the legendary three, as well as Raikou and Entei. I've met it before, when there was an issue with Celabi." Ash explained, and Blue shot him a look of shock.
"Wait, how many legendary Pokémon have you met?" Blue hissed under his breath, and Ash shrugged, Pikachu jumping down and running a few feet towards the Suicune.
"Pika! Pika chu pi! Chu chu Pikachu!" Pikachu shouted, waving and causing Suicune to look up in surprise, noticing the two humans and the Arcanine at once.
"I-I don't understand. Why would Suicune be interested in us? Wouldn't it run away?" Blue asked in confusion while Ash rolled his eyes. "Maybe it's a different one." Ash offered.
"…No, there is only one legendary Pokémon. Like, there's only one Ho-Oh and none others because that's the one." Blue shook his head while Ash looked rather surprised.
"Uh, Maybe that's a difference. Because I'm pretty sure I met a Latios once and then battled one again, and they were two completely different ones." Ash added, and Blue shook his head in shock.
"It…it must be a difference. In my world, there is only one Suicune, and I've never ever seen it. I knew a kid that saw it, but that's it." Blue shook his head, and Pikachu continued to talk to the beast.
The creature barked back, this time fully stepping off of the lake and walking calmly over the grass approaching the two, its long strides and purple mane shifting in the slight wind.
As soon as they grew near, the ground started to tremble somewhat, and the Suicune jumped back in surprise at the movement, looking at the ground in suspicion as suddenly it erupted, metal nets jolting upright and trying to grab the legendary creature.
"Suicune! Pikachu- Iron Tail!" Ash shouted, and his Pikachu jumped, slicing its tail through two of the net strands.
Suicune snarled, snapping its teeth onto the metal and recoiling when its elongated icy teeth bounced off. It then ducked, a small reflective sheen as the metal tried to close on it, only to deflect off quickly.
"Mirror Coat- Suicune, protect yourself!" Blue shouted, the dog creature issuing a bark as a slight pink aura rose around it, the reflective coating arising once more.
"Arc!" Arcanine roared, wheeling back and letting a powerful inferno of Fire Blast shoot outwards, Suicune wincing at the flames broke through its Mirror Coat and injured it slightly, it's Calm Mind helping somewhat.
The metal netting bubbled and grew red before collapsing on itself, freeing the Pokémon.
The Suicune gave a jerk of a nod before bouncing off, escaping onto freedom as it seemed to vanish behind the trees.
Ash let out a breath of relief as Pikachu bounded back, careful to avoid the melting metal nets as it joined Ash, who smiled in relief.
"…Arcanine, get us out of here." Blue spoke low, the fire type obeying as it turned slowly, edging itself out and behind a few trees before a loud roaring noise of an engine was heard.
"Shoot- I knew it. Run Arcanine- hang on Ash, Extreme Speed!" Blue ordered, the creature jolting into a pace in which Ash hung on for dear life, his Pikachu only remaining on because Ash sheltered it under his torso.
"Team Rocket's after us, they're mad about the Suicune! Listen to me, take Arcanine and get out of here, I'll hold them back. Find Red and then follow us back." Blue nodded, already pulling out a Pokeball.
"No! I'm not leaving you!" Ash shouted, Pikachu shouting its agreement.
"Look, we don't have time for this!" Blue gritted through his teeth.
"Staraptor!" Ash shouted, the bird having to move into a quick attack to keep up with the four, "Find Red and bring him here!" Ash shouted and his bird swirled upwards, vanishing from sight while Blue casted him a scowl.
"Arc!" Arcanine howled, craning its neck up and firing off a plume of fire as suddenly, there was this thing above them.
"That's Team Rocket?" Ash gasped and Blue scowled, "See, you've only fought Grunts. This is what we fight." Blue grunted, and Arcanine instead just put on more speed.
"If we're lucky, we can get to the city, then at least there will be the police who can help a little. I'm afraid we may not make it. Do you have any good fighters?" Blue asked and Ash got a determined look on his face.
"Yeah, we can fight." He growled lowly, and a large metallic claw was launched, Arcanine howling in surprise as it grabbed him, only for another to close in, painfully yanking on Arcanine's leg.
"Return!" Blue shouted, the three of them nearly falling before the two claws locked on them, already too high up to fall safely.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted, looking worriedly at Blue, who looked more annoyed then scared.
"Ash." Blue called and Ash looked over frantically, kicking his legs wildly.
"Just hang in until Red can get here." Blue shouted before he vanished from Ash's sight, the claws moving up to some odd room where Team Rocket already had their Pokémon out and growling, leaving Ash glaring at the array of angry Houndoom and Golbats.
"Pika!" Pikachu shouted loudly, and a grunt stepped forward with a scowl. "Control that Pikachu or we'll take drastic actions!" He shouted and Pikachu backed down with a growl, still glaring at the other Pokémon. The claw let go and they fell to the floor with a yelp, grunts grabbing him and heaving him towards his feet.
"Let's go." The girl scowled, an Absol shoving him harshly to get him going, Pikachu shouting threats at the dark Pokémon.
"Take him to the holding cells, the boss will want to know about who freed Suicune." The main grunt growled in anger while Ash followed, looking in at the various cage units which held various types and sized Pokémon. Ash's eyes widened as he realized each glass window showed rooms that caged certain types of Pokémon- in one he spotted a rather sickly looking Tropius and a small Skiploom stuck in one cage overlooking five or six sleeping Shroomish.
"You people are sick!" He shouted, seeing a thrashing Rapidash which was struggling to try and get the grunts from its back as they forced it towards some shipping container.
"Yeah yeah, we do whatever pays the bills, punk." The grunt on his right answered with a rolled eyes, moving him towards some sort of holding cell, shoving him in and locking the door.
He sighed, leaning against the wall while Pikachu sighed sadly, looking through the bars for anyone.
"Pika! Pikachu chu!" Pikachu called, ears lowering as nothing was heard.
"It's okay Pikachu, Blue said that Red would find us." Ash smiled, Pikachu nodding and jumping onto Ash's lap as they sat down.
Maybe twenty minutes later they heard shouting and sounds of a struggle.
"Stop it kid!"
"Kid? You're younger than me!" Ash sat upright when they heard a recognizable voice.
"Yeah well…we're armed!"
"With Caterpie of a Pokémon! A Zubat? What are you going to do, confuse me?"
They heard a significant sound of a punch as the cell next to him opened and Blue was thrown in roughly, the door slamming behind as the grunt walked away scowling.
"Pika! Pikachu chu!" Pikachu shouted, running over to the connecting wall as they heard Blue sit upright.
"Pikachu? Ash, are you there?" Blue asked and Ash grinned, sliding to the wall.
"Yeah! I'm fine!"
"…You have Pikachu? Did they take away your Pokémon?" Blue asked, hopeful as Ash checked his belt, sure enough, five Pokeballs and Pikachu's very own were there.
"Yeah, did they take yours?"
"They noticed that Arcanine belonged to me, probably think I'm strong. Do you have anything to bust us out with?"
"Maybe." Ash responded, looking at his Pokeballs with a frown before a grin. "Go! Gible!"
A flash and a rather confused looking Gible blinked, looking around with a "Gib gib?"
"…Ash, that doesn't sound big." Blue stated dryly and Ash rolled his eyes.
"Trust me on this! Gible, see that wall?" Ash pointed and the small dragon type looked before a slightly confused nod.
"Pika chu chu Pi." Pikachu offered, and Gible's eyes lit up before he slammed into it.
Blue on the other side jumped back I surprise as the wall groaned and buckled before being punctured. Large chunks of metal were ripped away as a small shark like Pokémon snatched it up and continued to chew through the metal, grinning happily at its meal.
"Holy- You know what? That's okay." Blue let out a sigh as Gible grinned, eyeing him up as if he was its next meal.
"Good job Gible! Try to eat the bars." Ash pointed to the bars, forcing himself through the hole Gible made while the Pokémon tried its best to consume the only thing between them and freedom.
Sure enough, a few sharp bites and a rather satisfied Gible sat in front of a large opening, looking rather stuffed.
"Thanks Gible, return." Ash smiled, recalling his Pokémon while the two slipped out into the hallway.
"Let's get my Pokémon firs-" Rooooarrrr! The entire aircraft shook at the impact of something, causing Pikachu to fall from Ash's shoulder.
"…Looks like Red's here." Blue smirked, running to the left to try and find his Pokémon.
"hey you!" They spun, two grunts charging them with Golbats.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" Ash pointed, his Pikachu zapping the charging four and leaving them twitching on the floor.
"Impressive." Blue nodded, and they continued running, racing through the halls with Pikachu zapping anyone who got too close.
"Here!" Blue shouted, sliding into a room that had his Pokeballs on a stand, snatching them up quickly.
"Well well." A voice stated, the two spinning around while a girl with blonde hair scowled, leaning on the doorway.
"Grunt." Blue growled back while the girl managed to look offended.
"Ouch, the name's Domino. Now, I don't know who you are, but I want you off my ship, now." She growled, and Pikachu bristled in anger.
"Tough luck. Out of our way or we'll fight." Blue snarled before a small grin, "Although of course, I have no issue with fighting you."
Domino's eyes narrowed and with a flick a Pokémon was sent out before she can spiraling towards Blue who ducked an impressing swinging kick.
"Kingdra!" Kingdra growled, sending a strong Hydro Pump at Blue which Domino somehow maneuvered into the path, causing the water to slam into him and slam him into a wall, causing him to slump.
"Blue!" Ash shouted in alarm, before ducking as Domino then charged him, Pikachu shouted loudly.
"Pikachu! Get Kingdra!" Ash shouted, wincing as a hard punch hit his chest, causing him to slam into a wall and fall.
"Give it up kid." Domino snarled, and Ash scowled, grabbing a Pokeball and sending it out.
"Infernape!" Infernape growled, immediately seeing the problem when Domino sent a kick at Ash, Infernape intercepting and soon, the two fought in some form of a martial arts battle.
Ash stumbled to Blue, trying to shake the passed out man awake, wincing when he saw blood in his hair coming from a head wound, and instead pulled a Pokeball from his belt, hoping greatly that it was the one he wanted.
"Alakazam?" Alakazam questioned after being summoned, looking at Ash in confusion before it spotted the fainted Blue and spun, seeing the battle between Infernape and Domino.
"Ala." It growled, snatching the girl in the middle of her punch and slamming her into the wall, knocking her out while Ash recalled Infernape.
"Er, thanks. Do you know which Pokeball is Arcanine?" Ash asked Alakazam awkwardly while said Pokeball levitated out. "Thanks." He smiled as he returned the psychic and summoned the dog.
"Arc!" Arcanine growled, shaking its pent and looking at Blue in worry.
"He's just knocked out, can you carry hi-"
Booom!
"Pika-CHU!" Pikachu roared, one last electrically charged bolt hitting the water Pokémon and knocking it out next to Domino, leaving Pikachu to pant and jump onto Ash's shoulder.
"Here" Ash grunted, lifting Blue onto Arcanine's back and holding him steady as he also jumped on, pressing his ankles into the dog to get it moving towards the explosions.
They entered what must have been the control room, but what was left of it was a complete mess. Large glass windows were smashed and letting what used to be the view, be an entry point for a mad Staraptor, and a rather frustrated Charizard.
Red was just standing there, watching everyone with a critical eye while not only his Charizard was out, but also his Espeon. Charizard was making quick damage to any Pokémon that tried to attack, not only taking down Zubats and the sort, but also laying waste to lunging Ninetails and even more surprising, Machamps.
Espeon was using her confusion on humans, throwing them away and knocking them out, while his Pikachu was frying all sorts of mechanical devices.
"Red!" Ash shouted, coughing as something filled the room with smoke.
"Esp! Espeon!" Espeon shouted, stamping her paws on the ground and suddenly a bright golden light illuminated the air, it seemed Charizard's fire attacks grew even more powerful while it showed Ash as safe way to guide Arcanine.
Arcanine jumped next to Red, the other man casting a critical eye to Blue who Ash assured, would be okay.
Red gave a nod to his Pikachu, which soon turned its electricity to the controls, zapping them and causing the engines to stutter.
"What are you doing? We'll crash!" Ash shouted in panic, returning his Staraptor in fear of it being hurt.
Red gave a nod and his Espeon jumped next to him, closing its eyes and bowing its head while Red placed one hand upon its head. The entire creature glowed with some unseen power that many psychics seemed to have, and suddenly, a loud echoing sound was in Ash's head.
"Esss-peooooon."
And suddenly, Ash wanted to run.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted, causing Ash to duck as a stray Bellsprout made its way past Arcanine and Charizard's defenses, its vine whip very nearly hitting Ash's neck and causing damage.
Red gave a nod and signaled for Ash to look out the broken window. The boy did and saw that not only were they crashing in a mostly uninhabited area, but the Pokémon there were moving at an impressive speed to abandon the area.
Charizard roared, flapping its wings and firing a thick black smoke while Red swung upon his beast, snatching Espeon's Pokeball and grabbing Ash's Pikachu while Red's own hopped on without another question.
"Arc!" Arcanine barked, snatching a Pokeball between its teeth and letting Ash open it to Blue's Pidgeot while returning Arcanine, mounting Blue's Pidgeot and holding the older man awkwardly as the bird dove out, chasing the red lizard and trying to get away from the soon-to-be explosion.
The sound was ear-shattering.
Some Clarrification, last chapter I mentioned Blue saying that his name was Green- he did that to Giovanni because he didn't want Team Rocket knowing his real name.
Please Review! It means a lot to me!
