Welcome back for chapter numero tres! In this chapter I am intending to introduce 3 new OCs, which I am so excited for! I have an idea for this plot, which I honestly love the sound of, but I want to reveal it as the story moves on. Let's get on to chapter 3!

Ash woke up in a strange room. He yawned, sitting up in the bed he was lay in. How strange. He looked around, trying to think of what had happened. He then noticed a pair of large hazel eyes peering at him from the end of the bed. Suddenly a girl of around 9 years of age popped up.
"SURPRISE!" The stranger yelled, making Ash yell and jump back in shock. She was quite short, with long, straight red hair, and of course, the large hazel eyes he had seen before. He didn't know this girl.
"Did I scare you, Ash?" The stranger asked, sitting on the edge of the bed and giggling.
"How do you know my name? And who are you?" Ash asked, looking the girl up and down. She wore light gray jeans and a red off-the-shoulder shirt.
"My name is Ruby, and I know your name because your ponyta told me!" She gigged, grabbing him by the hand and pulling him to his feet.
"C'mon! You have to meet my sisters!" She grinned and pulling him along before he could question her reply.
He was pulled into a room where two girls of around the age of 14 sat at the table. One of them looked up at him. She had a long blonde ponytail, her eyes as red as a blazing inferno. She wore a red miniskirt and a tan vest top.
"Well hello there, Ash, good to see you awake!" She said. Hearing this the second girl looked up. She was identical to the first girl, apart from…she wasn't. They were clearly twins, as their features were identical, apart from her hair being silver in a long ponytail, and her eyes were a beautiful crystal blue, and wearing dark blue jeans along with a light blue shirt buttoned up.
"Ah. Hello there Ash!" She grinned.
"Meet my sisters Chloe and Luna!" She said, pointing out the blonde haired girl as Chloe and the silver haired girl as Luna.
"Hello." Ash said bluntly, sitting at an empty seat, Ruby sitting facing him. He turned, looking out of the window, his mood lightening as he saw a familiar flaming horse galloping around outside.
"Ah. I see you have noticed Ponyta…" Chloe said, Ash turning to her. "He rode into the city with you on his back unconscious, desperately asking for help. We were out shopping that day and we found him. We brought you back here and nursed you back to health. You still look a little pale though," Ash furrowed his brow.
"How did you understand Ponyta?" Ash asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean how did you understand his cries for help? He's a pokemon," Ash said.
"It's…complicated. When we were young, our parents had borrowed some money from some bad people and used it all on alcohol and gambling, leaving them in some serious debt. They traded us to pay for their debt, and after that we were put underground, where we were experimented on for a project they called 'Operation Hybrid', where they would implant humans with pokemon DNA to give them the abilities of a certain pokemon. There was one human for every pokemon in existence. One day, a riot happened and a… friend of ours sacrificed their life so we could all escape. All those hundreds of children were free. We will never be normal. I am an alolan Ninetales, Chloe is a Ninetales and Ruby is a Vulpix. We were made to be weapons, to be used by criminals for their own personal gain…" Luna explained. The room was filled with an awkward silence.
"I'm sure you're familiar with Team Rocket," Ruby said, breaking the silence "They've put a bounty on your head too, just like us!"
"A-a bounty? What would they want me for?" Ash spluttered.
"No idea, but it can't be anything good!" Chloe spat. The others nodded in agreement as Ash turned his head to watch his Ponyta gallop around happily, quickly becoming lost in thought.
James, Jessie and Meowth walked past a line of men, Jessie dragging Pikachu behind her with a collar around his neck attached to a chain. It was designed to stop him using his electricity, not that he was able to use it in the first place. Pikachu sighed. He missed Ash so much. Jessie nodded as a man saluted her. They had been promoted to being in charge of the taskforce that was leading the hunt for Ash. Jessie had an idea of where to start looking for the twerp. The nearest village. If the pikachu was weak, then the twerp was likely to be weak too, which means he can't have gotten too far. She hopped in a car, followed by James and Meowth.
"Ready or not, here we come…" She smirked as the car set off.
Ash and Ruby were playing in the garden, racing with ponyta whilst Chloe and Luna were sat under the tree in the shade, Chloe watching them play and Luna reading her book.
"Hey Chloe, I'm gonna go down to the town with Ponyta and Ruby to get some treats for ponyta!" He said, petting Ponyta who neighed happily.
"I don't like the sound of that…" Chloe said.
"Oh, pleaseeeeeeeee!" Ruby begged. "We'll be fine, we have Ponyta with us!" She said, Ponyta flicking his fiery mane in agreement. Chloe sighed.
"Fine, but be careful and watch out for each other." She finally said and the three celebrated, running off towards the town centre.
Jessie and James were walking past the fountain at the centre of the square, having split with Meowth who had gone to chat up a pretty Purrloin. They smirked to each other, knowing Meowth was probably getting rejected hard right now. They walked into a pokemon shop, which sold pokemon, pokemon food and pokemon treats.
Ponyta had gone inside his pokeball reluctantly before they had entered the shop. There were many pokemon treats and Ash giggled as Ruby sneakily ate one.
"They're good!" She giggled, having tried the fire type one. "Let's get that one," She advised and Ash nodded, picking some up. He saw a reflection in a glass enclosure that held some bulbasaurs of two eerily familiar figures. He grabbed Ruby and ducked behind a display.
"What are you-"
"Shhhh…" He cut her off, seeing Jessie and James stroll into the shop. They wore their team rocket uniforms and were giggling amongst themselves. He didn't think they had noticed them yet, but if team rocket was looking for them, then he knew who they had come searching for.
"Team Rocket members," He growled. "Let's pay for these and get out of here," Ruby nodded in agreement. They went and paid, keeping themselves in the middle of a crowd before managing to get to the door unseen. Ash breathed a sigh of relief.
"That was close…" Ruby said and Ash agreed. They decided to walk through the alleyways.
Meowth had gone down the alleyway after the Purrloin, who had made it clear she didn't like Meowth. She had climbed up a pipe, now trotting down a fence. Meowth attempted to climb after her, but slid back down again, panting,
"I am way too fat…" He panted. He stopped, hearing a familiar voice approach.
"I just want to get back, I'm too tired for this, I feel constantly weak and exhausted," Ash said to Ruby who gave him a sympatbetic smile. He froze as a familiar pokemon jumped out, blocking their path.
"Hold it right there!" Meowth spat. Ash growled.
"What do YOU want?" Ash snarled, Ruby stepping in front of him protectively.
"I gotta bring you in. The boss wants you alive," He smirked, unsheathing his claws. But before he had a chance to even attempt to attack, a jet of flame was sent at him. He yelped and jumped back, the ends of his fur singed. Ruby sent another jet of flame, Meowth barely dodging and tripping over, shuffling backwards. She smirked as Meowth flivhed, grabbing Ash's hand and pulling him into a run. They pelted down the alleys before Ash tripped, panting heavily.
"I'm too weak to run.." He panted, wiping sweat off his brow as Meowth was gaining on them. Ruby sighed, picking Ash up in a piggyback and easily outrunning Meowth to their house. They darted inside, peering through the window as they watched the pokemon continue past the house. They celebrated and Ash coughed, before passing out.
Thanks for reading chapter 3! I am very excited about continuing this story, as I was on the brink of dropping it. I'm so glad I didn't, I know, I know, two chapters in a day, but I'm on fire. Anyway, don't forget to follow, favourite and comment. Also a note, if you would like an OC featured in this story as a hybrid, please post a description which includes a name, appearance, what pokemon they are, a background (optional) and a personality. That's it for now. BAIIIIIIIII!
