The moment he stepped outside, a yellow fuzzball knocked him down.

"Pikapi!" It cried.

"Hi, Pikachu. I missed you too, buddy." Ash said with a small smile. He got up, Pikachu clinging to his shoulder, and continued following Fuchsia City Officer Jenny.

"Leaf!" Yohana's Leafeon ran up to them, worried.

"She'll be okay, Leafeon." Ash assured her. "She just needs some rest. She'll be back to normal before you know it."

(Good.) Leafeon said.

Ash blinked. Had he just… understood a pokemon?

He shook his head. It couldn't be. It was probably just his imagination.

(Is something wrong, Ash?) Pikachu asked.

Ash blinked and shook his head again. This had to be his imagination… Right?

"Ash, get into the car first, okay?" Fuchsia City Officer Jenny said. "I'm going to lay Yohana's head on your lap."

"Okay." Ash agreed, getting into the car with Pikachu and Leafeon following.

As Fuchsia City Officer Jenny laid Yohana across the seats, Ash looked out the window and noticed that, with the crisis over, Brock was back to flirting with the Officer Jennys. Of course, Misty was already on the case, grabbing Brock by the ear and dragging him away so that the Officer Jennys could do their job.

Ash flinched as the door slammed shut and Fuchsia City Officer Jenny climbed into the front.

"Hold on to her, okay?" Fuchsia City Officer Jenny instructed. "We don't want her getting any more hurt than she already is."

The car roared to life and they left the area.

"Wait! What about everyone else?! Do they know we're leaving?!" Ash asked.

"Oh. They don't need to know anything. They'll find out soon enough." Fuchsia City Officer Jenny said sinisterly.

Ash gasped, sensing a dark aura around her. He tried to open the door, but couldn't find a handle.

"This is a police car, Ash. You won't find a way out through the back seat." Fuchsia City Officer Jenny sneered.

Ash collected some aura around his fist and tried to break through the window, but, upon touching it, received a shock much greater than Pikachu's thunderbolts.

(Ash!) Pikachu and Leafeon cried together as the boy fell on top of Yohana, unconscious.

(Fuchsia City Officer Jenny's a traitor, and she's kidnapping our trainers!) Leafeon cried. (We need help! We need Entei, Suicune, and Raikou!)

(But will they answer our pleas?!) Pikachu asked.

(We don't need to plead! We just need Yohana's amulet! The thing is… she's the only one who can use it!) Leafeon said.

(If we can't use the amulet, our best bet is to plead! Entei! Suicune! Raikou! We need your help!) Pikachu shouted.

"Shut up, you useless pokemon! There's no way for you to help your trainers! They're prisoners of Team Aqua now!" Fuchsia City Officer Jenny shouted.

(Entei! Suicune! Raikou! Help us! Entei! Suicune! Raikou!) Pikachu and Leafeon continued.

"I said to SHUT UP!"

But Pikachu and Leafeon didn't shut up. They were desperate to get help for their trainers.

Finally, an hour later, they heard a roar.

(They heard us!) Pikachu said in relief.

Ash winced and opened his eyes. "Wh-where…"

"Argh! Go back to sleep, you little brat! Now what was that roar…" Fuchsia City Officer Jenny said.

Ash remembered where he was and was about to try at the window again when Pikachu stopped him.

(No, Ash! We need you awake!) The yellow mouse pokemon yelled.

Ash lowered his fist and glanced down at Yohana, who was still unconscious on his lap.

Fuchsia City Officer Jenny suddenly stopped the car short. Yohana almost fell off the seat, but Ash grabbed her just in time.

"What the %$# are they doing here?!" The officer cried.

Ash looked up to see Entei, Raikou, and Suicune surrounding the car on three sides.

The legendary beasts roared in anger. Ash unclicked his seatbelt and got ready to leave the car.

"You're not going anywhere, Mister!" Fuchsia City Officer Jenny yelled at him. She got out of the car and sent out three Growlithe. "Growlithe! Attack!"

It didn't take long for her Growlithe to be knocked out. These were legendary pokemon they were facing, after all.

Fuchsia City Officer Jenny growled at the legendary pokemon and attempted to get back into the car after returning her pokemon, but Entei stopped her.

(Release the children.) Entei roared.

Fuchsia City Officer Jenny didn't understand the exact words, but she got the picture. "Forget it! These kids are prisoners of Team Aqua!"

"Team Aqua?" Ash whispered. "How come I've never heard of them? Are they from another region? Never mind. Of course we have to defeat one team just to fall into the hands of another. Will this torture ever end?"

A Hydro Pump fired through the backseat of the car. Ash ducked just in time.

'This is our chance.' He thought to himself.

Carefully, he reached through the broken window and pulled the handle to open the door, ignoring the battle raging around him. Then, he pulled Yohana onto his back, climbed out of the car and towards Suicune with Pikachu and Leafeon following.

Suicune quickly noticed them and calmed down enough to let them onto his back. All four passengers safely secured (aka Ash, Pikachu, and Leafeon holding on tight while Yohana was kept on by Ash), Suicune jumped over the fence that kept cars from falling off the cliffing, landing on the water below and taking off away from the rapidly ending fight.

Four hours later…

Yohana moaned, slowly waking up. As her senses started to return, she felt an arm holding her tight and the wind blowing past her. She could smell, and almost taste, the ocean air around her. She opened her eyes to find that she was riding on Suicune's back, but for how long? And whose Pikachu was that?

"You're awake." She recognized Ash's voice coming from behind her. "It's about time."

Of course. It was Ash's Pikachu.

"How long have I been asleep?" Yohana asked quietly, turning to look at him.

"I have no clue. I don't have a watch." Ash admitted. "But we've been riding on Suicune for a very long time. I really need some sleep." As if to prove that last sentence correct, he let out a yawn at that very moment.

"Ash, what happened? One minute I had just defeated Giovanni, and then…" Yohana questioned.

"One of the Officer Jennys was a traitor. She kidnapped us. Entei, Raikou, and Suicune helped us escape." Ash explained. "Sun's rising now. It looks like we've been up all night. I mean… I've been up all night."

Yohana looked away from him to see that he was right. It was sunrise and the sky looked beautiful.

"Finally! Land ho!" Ash said, pointing in the direction they were going. "Let's just hope we'll be safe there."

Yohana looked towards their destination, praying with all she had that he was right.

a/n So Yohana and Ash have ended up in another region in hopes of safety. What adventures await them there? Will they meet new friends in a search for somewhere where they'll be safe? Find out in the next chapter: Enter May and Max! a/n
