Hey guys, new chapter coming right up! Complements from the author.

Ash's POV

We were flying to Saffron when I knew something was wrong. It was the middle of the day and it was quiet, that's new. We saw the reason almost right away, men wearing uniforms with an A that looks like it came from an unown. We landed in the small tree line around the city and wait until he turns away. Pikachu, without any explanation needed, sends a Thunderbolt in his direction. He lay there twitching and we slipped past.

"Icee, could use that assistance right about now!" We hear a familiar voice, which gave away who it was by the 'Icee' comment .

"Forest Runner!" I yell, darting towards the location of the voice.

"Wha- Ketchum!? Why are you here?!" I froze as the voice reached me through the still air. It was Salad-Head, and I'd yet to pay him back for what happened sometime ago...

"Hello Larousse. If you'll excuse us, we have to run." I say and turn around. I heard Drew growl and I hear his shirt's fabric move. I duck quickly and he's hit by a mini energy ball in the gut.

"Break it up you two, we've got enough trouble as is. Team ascendant is here to play, so let's play." Ryex says out of nowhere, grinning evilly. "Icee isn't here yet so we're on our own, for now." He charged an electro ball than broke it, sending electronic pulses through the air, stunning the guard standing outside the building.

"Now, I need you guys to cause some havoc on the bottom floor, and by guys I mean you and Salad head, OK May?" He says glancing at her as she sniggers at the 'salad head' comment while Drew seethed.

Ryex's POV

Me and Ash quickly got in character by putting on a uniform each from the storeroom they took over. And by 'each' I mean Ash got in one and I'll trail behind him in his shadow.

"Ready?" May mutters over to us as I morph to Gen, Violet's Gengar. I nod and she and Drew slip out and I faintly hear Drew yell to get their attention. When we slip out I see May standing over a crippled Drew, seemingly ready to beat him half to death.

"Any ideas what to do?" Ash mutters out of the corner of his mouth.

"Not a clue, but I do have a hunch... Let's keep moving." I reply as I slip up the stairs , ignoring the what to do part. With him in front of me, we reach the second and third floors easily when on the fourth floor we met resistance. And by resistance I mean an army of grunts and three admins keeping us from advancing. Ash had an idea that clicked in half a second of reaching the floor, battle them all while I slip past. He sent out the small Pokemon in his team to attack them all, and as they battle I jump over and shock one from behind.

"It's about time you showed up, member of the forest children. I've been waiting for you to show up, which is why I interrupted your petty little date."

FLASHBACK

Me and Fall were enjoying the last course we had been served, when the building shook violently and some candles went out. Me and Fall nodded at each other as we stood up, ready to fight. Then chaos broke out. The lights went out and dirt and stone chunks flew everywhere, getting on everything in the room we were in. I looked at Fall to see her in a glass dome that was pulled into the ground by a mechanical hand that gripped it and lifted it like a twig. It pulled her into the ground and I follow the noise only through the strangely quite streets of Saffron. When the noise stopped I was in front of the Silph co building like those long years ago.

FLASHBACK END

"I will kill you... for doing this!" I yell, lunging at him while his guards down. When I'm about to swing, Fall's in front of him, tied down and unconscious, but untouched. I stop the blow at the last second and fall back, ready to strike once she was safe.
