Team Rocket Returns

A/N: Well, I think that you can guess what is going to happen it this chapter. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to them. Well, onto the story!

Ash woke up and had a stabbing pain in his neck. He had slept on the floor so it was no surprise. He sat up and looked around. He wasn't in Dawn's house anymore. He was in a stone building that had rubber insulation. His legs were strapped down to a metal table and he couldn't move his hands.

"Good morning!" A voice came from in the shadows.

"Who are you?!" Ash yelled.

The girl came out of the shadows.

"Akari." He spat.

"Nice to see you again big brother." She said with a smile.

"Can't say the same thing about you Akari." Ash said with hatred.

"Well, that's to bad. The new leader of Team Rocket will make you think differently though." She replied with a smile.

"I will think no differently about Team Rocket if I were to talk to one-thousand of your rulers." Ash said.

Akari dragged Ash up to the boss's office and knocked on the door.

"Who is it? State your business." Someone called through the door.

"Akari Ketchum. Ash has woken up." She said through the door.

"Come in." Came the person's reply.

Akari opened the door and threw Ash into a chair.

The chair the boss was sitting in was turned around so that Ash couldn't see the person's face.

"Akari, go check up on the other prisoners." The boss said.

"Yes, sir." She replied. She left the room.

"Ash, Ash, Ash. Haven't you learned yet? Team Rocket has established bases everywhere. You only destroyed one regions." The boss said.

"At least I'm not afraid to show my face to other people!" Ash shot back.

"I'm not afraid to show my face. I just don't feel like showing my face to you." He said.

"Fine. Be a chicken." Ash said shrugging.

He turned around in the chair. After seeing him Ash didn't know how.

"How'd you get here? Who brought you?" Ash asked surprised.

The pokeball in the chair began to shake. "I was brought here by your sister. She found me and was kind enough to bring me here. I was the one that called you to this place. You have been the only one so far that I could control at all." The pokeball said.

"I am not as naïve as I was back then." Ash replied.

"You still have the rebelliousness that I was drawn to in you. I have tried to control many others over the years and it never worked. Now that I have brought you here you can be my body and I will rule the world once again!" The king of pokelantis's voice rang out.

"You'll never be able to!" A voice came from behind the door.

The door was busted down and Kairi walked in. "Ash, are you okay?" She asked.

"Fine. Just get me out of here!" He yelled.

She untied Ash's hands and they ran from the room.

"Where are we headed?" She asked.

"We have to find my other friends. Misty, Brock, and Dawn were all with me." Ash replied.

"Okay, well they would be in the dungeon which is at the very bottom level." Kairi said.

"How do you know all this?" Ash asked surprised.

"I've blown up enough of these places. They all look they same." Kairi replied with a shrug.

They got all the way down to the bottom of the building and saw Dawn tied up.

Ash ran over and untied her. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. Misty and Brock are a bit farther along I think. A guard walked by with them only a few minutes ago. I pretended to be passed out." Dawn informed him.

They all three ran down the hall and finally got to where Misty and Brock were at.

Ash was untying Misty when from behind he heard someone yell, "Halt!"

Ash turned around and to his surprise Gary was standing there.

"Great! More problems!" Ash exclaimed. Pikachu, where are you at right now?

Two floors above you headed downward.

Get here fast! Ash told Pikachu dodging one of Gary's attacks.

"Why not act like a real person for once and let us go?!" Ash asked. He was getting worried because he knew the king of pokelantis could get here.

"Kairi, bust the wall open now." Ash whispered.

Kairi didn't hesitate. She looked around and saw a lone Graveler hiding in a corner. "Come here. I won't hurt you."

The Graveler walked up to Kairi a little timid.

"I need your help to get out of here. Can you bust the wall open? You would be able to get out as well." Kairi asked with a sweet smile.

The Graveler looked back nervously and then looked back at Kairi. Three little Geodude floated towards the Graveler.

"Oh, you have a family. They'll be able to get out off here too and they can roam free with you." Kairi explained.

The Graveler nodded and then began using head butt on the wall. The wall eventually broke and sunlight filled the gloomy room.

"Ash! Let's get out of here!" Kairi yelled.

Ash just stood there with a blank expression. Gary was laughing maniacally.

"Ash…no." Kairi said as a lone tear fell from her eye.
