"Where is he? I'm sorry, I have to do this or Team Rocket will kill my husband." The Jenny told them.
Max looked at Dawn with pure horror on his face as Dawn began to talk again. Misty noticed that Dawn was trying to keep her mouth shut.
"He's. . . behind. . . that. . .bush." Dawn said and then pointed at the bush that Ash was hiding behind.
Ash jumped out and started to run. He ran until he got to Pettalburg City, the gates had been locked. He turned toward Officer Jenny and was taken. Misty started to cry into Brock's shoulder. Dawn had a look of pure horror and sadness on her face. Ash hung his head.
Pikachu, this is all my fault. I'm sorry buddy. Ash thought to pikachu.
Jenny took the two away into Pettalburg City.
"Brock, we have to get Ash out of there." Dawn cried.
"What do you mean, we? You're the one that told them where Ash was hiding!" Brock yelled angrily.
"I. .I didn't mean to!" Dawn sobbed. "I couldn't stop myself. They gave me a truth serum that Team Rocket invented and they gave Max something that made it so he couldn't talk until Jenny was gone. Right Max?" Dawn sobbed into Max's shoulder.
"That is the truth Brock. We have to save my sister before we can save Ash though. Mae got taken by Butch and Cassidy and they are holding her captive waiting for Ash to show up because they sent someone else to tell Ash about it." Max told them.
"Let's split up. Max, you and Dawn will go and save Mae. Misty and I will go to save Ash. You have your pokemon with you, right?" Brock asked.
"Yup!" Max replied.
"Let's meet up in Rustburough. That's where they have Mae and Drew. If any of us get captured though we come back here immediately and devise a new plan." Dawn added as she grabbed her new bike and rode off with Max on the handlebars.
"Alright, so where do we start looking for Ash?" Misty asked Brock as they walked toward the Pokemon Center. Misty and Brock got their Pokemon fixed up and then went toward the Team Rocket base and they snuck in. Misty and Brock were able to get all the way up to the top level where the big boss's office was. They put their ears up to the door and listened closely. This is what they heard.
"So, Ash. What do you think of Team Rocket now? You won't be able to figure out how to get out of this one this time. Your friends will be disappointed when they hear that you were found dead in a field." A man voice said to Ash.
"They won't. Because you were so busy ranting on a moment ago that I was able to cut these ropes and get myself out. Pikachu and I are smarter than we look. See ya later!" Ash yelled and then ran out the door and made Brock and Misty fall over.
"RUN!!" Ash yelled to them as he knocked an unknown Team Rocket member down. They got to the bottom level of the Team Rocket building and they were trapped. There were Team Rocket members blocking every exit. Which, lucky for them, was only three doors and three trainers to beat.
Pikachu, I need you to use thunderbolt on the Rocket member in front of us.
Why not an honest to good Pokemon battle?
Cuz they won't play fair.
Let's at least try. Misty and Brock are already battling and we would be leaving them and maybe sealing them in this place.
You win this time.
"Pikachu, use thunderbolt!" Ash yelled as the Rocket member sent out a jigglypuff.
"Piiikaaachuuuuu!" A golden light shown around pikachu and it hit the small pink jigglypuff.
All the Rocket members were gone and they made their great escape.
They ran all the way to Rustburough. When they got there they could hear a big commotion coming from the Research Labs. They all ran inside, Ash leading the way. Team Rocket had Mae and Drew tied up and the Pokemon were attacking Mae, Drew, Max, and Dawn.
"STOP!!" Ash yelled at the top of his lungs.
All the Pokemon stopped attacking and turned toward Ash.
"If Team Rocket captured you and made you do this than I know that you probably hate humans and think that all of us are evil and should be punished for what Team Rocket did?" Ash asked.
The reply of Bulbas and Char and Pika and all the other pokemon told Ash that he was right.
"I'll help you get out of here if you stop attacking my friends. I swear that one day I will make Team Rocket pay for what they have done and then maybe we can actually begin to make this wacky world of ours better." Ash announced.
All the pokemon started to cheer and yell. Ash led the way outside. All the pokemon began to run away as fast as they could. The pokemon that were big enough carried the smaller ones on their backs and used quick attack to get away. Mae and Drew walked up to Max and Dawn and they thanked them. Ash grabbed a trench coat out of nowhere and put it on with a hat. No one could tell who he was.
"Misty, can I talk to you for a minute?" Mae asked.
"Sure." She replied.
Mae walked over to a bench and they sat down. "Why did Ash just hide like that?" Mae asked.
"I don't know. Do you want me to go ask him?" Misty asked Mae.
"Yeah, it kind of hurt my feelings." She replied.
Misty walked up to Ash and whispered in his ear, "Why are you hiding from Mae and Drew?"
Ash took of the coat and brought Lucario out. He whispered something to the Lucario and stood straight up again.
"Mae? I need you to take Max and Dawn back to your house. I need to have a man to man conversation with Drew here. Take Misty with you." Ash told her.
Mae did as Ash asked and ran all the way back to Littleroot Town.
"Drew, you know why I sent the girls home. Don't you?" Ash asked getting up in Drew's face.
"No, I have no clear idea why you would send my girlfriend and her little brother and his girlfriend and your girlfriend back to Mae's house." Drew answered.
"You're part of Team Rocket and wanted me captured so you let yourself be beat up by those pokemon and you knew that I was alive and would come because of Richie." Ash said, getting up in Drew's face.
"You found out my secret. I was just using Mae anyway. Now, why don't you accept that no one from your past likes you anymore and let us kill you?" Drew asked.
"You'd have to make sure that everyone hated me before I would even think about letting myself be killed by you." Ash spat.
There was the sound of a gun shot and then Ash cringed on the ground. A bullet had been shot from behind him through the left side of his stomach. He looked backwards and saw Richie with a gun.
"I. .thought. .I killed. . . you." Ash said, panting from the stabbing pain in his side.(You know when you get whacked with a baseball bat and it leaves that red mark? That is what the shot felt like, but ten time worse.)
Brock picked up Ash and then slammed past Richie. He wasn't scared of the gun, he just knew that he had to get Ash to Mae's house before it was too late.
