Hey guys, I haven't sent my computer to be fixed yet so I thought I would squeeze in one more chapter before then. For the sake of formatting this chapter and all that follow will be in script form. This will make it easier on me. I would also like to point out that I have put up a poll on the very top of my profile page. By voting you can choose which pokemon Dawn will capture next. The poll will be open for up to six days. Please keep in mind that I am giving you guys a chance to pick a pokemon for Dawn. If not many people vote then I will choose one to my liking. Also, this chapter will have more dialogue so it will longer than the previous chapters. This chapter will reveal an evil team and one rival. I'll stop rambling now. Please review.

Rude Interruptions

Ash and Dawn turned around to see who attacked them only to be completely shocked at the trio standing before them. There was a young man with purple hair, a young woman with pink hair and a Meowth. These guys were part of the world famous evil team known as Team Rocket who is known to steal strong pokemon from trainers in order to build a pokemon army in attempts to control the world.

Ash: It's Team Rocket!

Dawn: Hey! Why did you attack us and what do you want!?

Jessie: Prepare for trouble

James: And make it double

Jessie: To protect the world from devastation

James: To unite all peoples within our nation

Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love

James: To extend our reach to the stars above

Jessie: Jessie

James: James

Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light

James: Surrender now or prepare to fight

Meowth: Meowth dat's right

Jessie: Alright hand over that Garchomp and that Piplup and do it now!

Ash: Yeah, like we'll listen to you!

James: Why you little twerp, no one talks back to Team Rocket! Go Luxray. Use Dark Pulse on that Garchomp. (Luuuuuuuuuxxxxxxrrrraaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!)

Jessie: Go Drapion, wrap your tail around that Piplup and then use Cross Poison. (Draaapppppp)

Ash: Garchomp fight back with Dragon Pulse and then use Draco Meteor. (Gaaaaaaaaarrr)

Dawn: Piplup use peck.

Despite its efforts Piplup could not land its attack on Drapion. Drapion's tail was wrapped around way too tight.

Dawn: Eevee, come out and help Piplup. Use dig

Jessie: Foolish little girl you think that's going to stop me! Drapion use Poison Tail on Eevee as soon as it pops out.

Eevee dug back above ground only to struck by a powerful Poison Tail. The blow knocked Eevee out in an instant.

Dawn: Eevee no!

All of a sudden Garchomp's Draco Meteor rained down from above striking both Luxray and Drapion. Drapion loosened its grip on Piplup allowing it to break free.

Dawn: Piplup! Are you okay?

The little pokemon weakly replied for a yes. (Piiiiplup)

Meowth: This isn't over! Check out my Fury Swipes!

Ash: Garchomp wait for the right moment and then strike hard with Brick Break.

Garchomp waited until Meowth came with in wing's length and unleashed a super powered Brick Break to Meowth's charm.

Meowth: Ooowwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! That Hurt!

Ash: Garchomp finish them off. Use Hyperbeam!

Garchomp busted out a large beam of orange colored energy hitting Team Rocket full in the face and sent them flying into the sky.

Jessie: (screaming from the air) Wait! We're not done yet!

James: We've only begun!

Meowth: Deal with blabber mouths cause we're blasting off!

Team Rocket soon vanished into the sky with a strange twinkle.

Ash: Finally we got rid of those jerks. They wasted over twenty minutes of our time that we could have used to get through Bewildered Forest.

Dawn: Not only that but both Piplup and Eevee are very weak and there's no pokemon center around here.

Dawn sighed and retrieved her pokemon back into their pokeballs knowing that was the only for them to heal now.

Ash: We better get going now.

Dawn: Right then. Let's go.

Dawn and Ash continued towards Bewildered forest which was now within sight. Ash and Dawn were conversing about their battle they had with Team Rocket. Ash was giving Dawn advice on how to battle. After what seemed like fifteen minutes they entered Bewildered Forest.

Ash: We have to be careful not to look at the antlers of the Stantler or else we could get hallucinations.

Ash and Dawn slowly made their way through the forest until they reached the other side. They were about to exit the forest when they heard a piercing roar. (RRRIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGG!). An Ursaring came out of nowhere blocking their exit. It was mad that Ash and Dawn invaded its territory. Ursaring raised its arm until it glowed white.

Ash: Look out! It's using Hammer Arm! Duck now!

Ash and Dawn ducked quickly avoiding Ursaring's hammer arm.

Ash: Garchomp, take care of this. Use Dragon Rage!

Garchomp fired a blue ball of energy from its mouth at Ursaring. Ursaring fought back using Focus Blast. Both balls of energy struck each other with a bang covering the field with smoke.

Ash: Garchomp use Draco Meteor and then use Earthquake.

Garchomp quickly followed Ash's orders trapping Ursaring between a Draco Meteor and an Earthquake. Ursaring sustained an immense amount of damage yet it still had energy to burn. It came at Garchomp with full speed while powering up another Hammer Arm. Ash saw this coming and ordered Garchomp to use another attack.

Ash: Garchomp use Rock Wrecker and aim it Ursaring's feet.

Garchomp blasted a few rocks towards Ursaring striking it hard multiple times to its legs. Ursaring cried out in pain before collapsing to the ground. Ash threw a pokeball at it hoping to catch it. The pokeball opened and sucked Ursaring into it. The ball shook for almost a minute before finally giving in.

Dawn: Wow! That was a really hard catch.

Ash: Yeah…And I thought I was going to blow it. This pokemon is very strong and smart. It will be useful to take on tough opponents.

All this time another trainer close by was watching this incident and judging Ash's technique.

Unknown Trainer: (to himself) Hmmph! Not bad, but can you defeat me?

The trainer made himself visible and walked towards Dawn and Ash.

Unknown Trainer: Hey….. You with the Garchomp!

Ash looked up to see a trainer walking toward him with a judging look on his face. The trainer wore a blue shirt and coat with gray pants. His hair was similar in color to James's hair. He also wore a strapped back over his back.

Unknown Trainer: Hi, the name's Paul and I'm from Veilstone city.

Ash: Hi I'm Ash Ketchum and this my friend Dawn. We're from Twinleaf town.

Paul: Yeah..so look, I saw you capture that Ursaring just now and you did fair job of catching it, but that only proves so much. I challenge you to a one on one battle. You up for it.

Ash didn't even give it a thought.

Ash: You bet! I never back down from a challenge.

Paul: Good! Like I said this is a one on one battle so first pokemon down losses the battle.

Ash: Alright go Garchomp!

Garchomp stepped forward and got into a fighting stance.

Paul: Torterra! Stand by for battle!

A humongous turtle with a tree on its shell emerged from inside the pokeball giving a low and loud roar. (Toooorrrtteerrrraaa!).

Paul: Okay Ash, you go first.

Ash: Okay Garchomp dig.

Garchomp dug into the ground and vanished within seconds.

Paul smirked at this.

Paul: What a foolish move. Torterra use Magnitude.

Torterra stood a little on its hind legs and was about hit the ground with a boom but it was stopped short by Garchomp's dig from underneath. Garchomp flew out of the ground tossing Torterra high into the air.

Ash: Excellent Garchomp!

Paul: (wide eyed) Whaaat!? How did Garchomp dig back above ground so quickly.

Ash: That's because Garchomp's been practicing that move for over seven years. All that practice significantly improved its speed. Garchomp use Giga Impact.

Garchomp leapt high into the air, tucked its wings in and charged right at Torterra with immense energy. The excess energy had turned Garchomp into a deadly weapon.

Paul: Torterra use Leaf Storm.

Torterra blasted a torrent of leafs at Garchomp, but Garchomp's excess speed allowed it fly right through it. The Giga Impact's energy fused with the leafstorm turning the leaf storm around. Paul was shocked. Garchomp was now coming at Torterra at full speed with Giga Impact and Leaf Storm combo.

Paul: Torterra, stay strong!

But it was useless. Garchomp struck with tremendous force knocking Torterra out on the spot.

Paul was devastated. He had underestimated Ash's skill by a longshot. He sighed and returned Torterra back into its pokeball.

Paul: (to himself) How did he beat me? He looks like a new trainer… how did he beat me?

Ash: Paul that was a great battle.

Paul: How did you beat me so quickly? Aren't you a new trainer.

Ash: I am a new trainer. I guess I forgot to mention this earlier but I am the younger brother of Gavin Ketchum.

Paul nearly fainted when he heard that.

Paul: No way.

Ash: Yeah… People say my brother is the toughest of the Sinnoh Elite Four. So you can understand that I've been watching my brother battles since I was very young. All of that experience had molded me into a skilled trainer.

Paul: Well, in that case, you are worthy as my rival. So where are you guys going now?

Dawn: Were going to Jubilife city for my very first Pokemon Contest and from there to Oreburgh city for Ash's gym battle.

Paul: I see. Ash, the Oreburgh gym leader was tricky for me to beat but he'll be no challenge for you.

Ash: When did you challenge the Oreburgh Gym?

Paul: A couple days ago. I won my battle but barely made it through. I came out here to train my pokemon and that's when I found you two.

Dawn: I get it now?

Ash: So how many gym badges do you have Paul?

Paul: Only two. The Coal badge from Oreburgh and the Forest badge from Eterna.

Ash: Well then, I guess I have some catching up to do. So we better be going now. Next time we see each other we'll have another battle.

Paul: Right then. See ya.

Ash and Dawn: See ya later.

Ash and Dawn continued on to Jubilife city where Dawn will compete in her first Pokemon Contest. As they walked away Paul looked on admiring his rival.

Paul: (thinking to himself) That trainer is my first true rival.

Alright I finally got this chapter out of the way. If anyone was wondering why Ash's skill is set very high in my version, it's because I was tired of seeing Ash's skills being reset for each new series in the anime so I decided to make him strong from the start. Even though it seems like Paul is a weak trainer he is still just as powerful as he was in the anime. I will try my best to preserve Paul's attitude and power. In the next chapter Dawn will compete in the Jubilife Pokemon Contest. Also there will be a new main character that will meet Ash and Dawn and one more rival will be revealed. The next chapter may take up to ten to fifteen days so hang tight. Please vote on my poll and please review? Thanks
