Hello everyone! Wow… It's been so long. I know I promised I would post the second chapter ASAP, but I got a writers block. I had no idea how to continue the story. Anyway, I just wanted to apologise for not keeping to my promises. But now I will try my hardest to post regularly. Thank you to everyone who has followed and favourited my story, it means a lot, along with the feedback I received. I am still a student so my grammar wont be perfect, but I'll try my hardest to put that feedback into action. I should probably get into the story now and stop rambling on. Thanks again and don't forget to follow and favourite my story!

Ash ran down the long road, the rays of the sun glaring down at him. He stumbled, catching his foot on a rock and tumbling to the ground. Drenched in sweat and panting, he lay on the ground. He tilted his head to the side as he lay sprawled on he ground, only to see a bright light. Ponyta had come out of his pokeball and was nudging Ash's head gently with his muzzle. Ash got to his feet, looking pale. He clearly wasn't well. Ponyta lowered himself so Ash could climb onto his back. Grunting in gratitude he climbed on the back of the flaming horse. They then trotted down the road to the nearest town, Ash passing out on Ponyta's back.
Jessie and James were stood outside Giovanni's office, giggling excitedly along with meowth, who was a lot shorter than they were.
"This is it guys…" Jessie began, "This is the day we get a promotion. All these ears have been preparing us for this day…" She was shaking in excitement whilst Meowth was taking deep breaths. They knocked on the door, waiting for a reply.
"Come in!" replied a deep, gruff voice a few moments later. The trio shared a glance, taking a deep breath before pushing open the door with a loud creak.
Giovanni was sat at his desk, going through some paperwork. He sighed deeply, running a hand through his glossy, slicked back hair. Hearing a knock at the door, he grumbled under his breath. It better not be more paper work…
"Come in!" He said, not feeling too enthusiastic. He internally groaned, placing his hand in his palm as he saw who it was that had just entered his office.
"Oh..Its you. What d you want? I'm busy. This better be important…" He said to Team Rocket's resident failures. They somehow managed to screw up every mission they were sent on and rarely succeeded in capturing pokemon. He didn't have time for this…
"We just wanted to present this Pikachu to you! We finally got it off that little twerp!" Jessie exclaimed. Giovanni perked up reasonably after hearing this.
"Let's have a look at it then," He said, straightening up his posture. He furrowed his brow as a small cage was placed in front of him.
"THIS is the pikachu you have spent the last few years trying to catch…" Giovanni said, gritting his teeth in annoyance. What idiots. The pikachu was too weak to stand, lay at the bottom of the cage. It looked unwell, growling lowly as it let out a weak cough. "Well, lets see what it can do…" Giovanni said, opening the cage and holding up the pikachu to examine it. It did look ill, as if the only thing pushing it to stay conscious was pure drive. It gritted its small teeth, before grunting, a few sparks coming from its body and flying into the wall, leaving a black singe mark. Jessie, James and Meowth looked surprised, gazing over at the singed wall.
"That's weird, it's usually a lot stronger, the strongest…" He said, his tail twitching. He looked at the pikachu before looking back to Giovanni. He had narrowed his eyes, stroking his chin as if deep in though.
"Could it be?" He murmured to himself. Meowth tilted his head, but Jessie and James hadn't appeared to notice.
"What is it, boss?" Meowth questioned. Giovanni was torn from his thoughts, looking up at the scratch cat pokemon.
"It just seems a little familiar. It reminds me of a prophecy from long ago. About a pokemon and a trainer whose bond is so strong they give each other unbelievable strength, but when separated…" He looked to the Pikachu, who coughed weakly. "It prophesises that once reunited, they are a deadly weapon. So. Where is the 'Twerp'?" Giovanni growled the last part. The trio of failures looked at each other.
"Ummm…" James began, but he was interrupted by Giovanni.
"You lost him," He sighed. This was so predictable. He picked up his phone and dialled in the number of his second in command.
"Tell all the members of team rocket to look for a…" He looked at the trio.
"Uh…Ash Ketchup- wait it's Ketchum," the others nodded in agreement.
"Ash Ketchum…" Giovanni said before ending the call. He then took a photo of Ash from James.
"Thank you Jessica, Jacob and Meowth," Giovanni said. You have been most helpful. Jessie and Meowth snickered and James bit his lip but didn't say anything.
"You are dismissed, Giovanni said to the trio and once they left he sat back in his chair.
"Ash Ketchum. Now where have I heard that name before- Oh…"
I am so happy to get through this. It took me a couple of hours to write this, and even though I struggled with this episode, doesn't mean I don't have tons of ideas for this fic. The future is bright! Don't forget to follow, favourite and leave a comment as it is greatly appreciated. BAI FOR NOW!
