"G'night, everyone!" Ivy called from her yellow sleeping bag. "See you in the morning!"
A round of Pokémon responses came back to her, as they all settled into their sleeping positions. Arcanine and Ivysaur were cuddled up together, sharing a blanket on the grass and a pile of blankets atop of them with Dragonite, while had curled up in the shallow water at the edge of the pond. Ivy and Pikachu shared her sleeping bag, as they always did, except now, they also had to make room for the egg. Things were close quarters, but they were all cozy and ready for a good night's sleep before another day of travelling.
Underneath the pond, which was more of a small lake that that trickled into a river, a large, impressive submarine made its way through the water. It was manned by a team of black-clad operatives, a few of whom kept an eye on the happenings above the water via telescopes. They were all going about their business in silence, like a machine, as they programmed the submarine to keep going and plugged information into the computers.
A door opened in the back of the submarine, allowing a dark figure to make his entrance into the main submarine room. All of the black-clad operatives stopped in their tracks, saluting the black-suited man as he walked down the center part amongst the others, with an intimidating Persian at his side and his hands behind his back.
"You've found the girl?" he inquired, as he reached the front of the room.
"Yes, sir," replied one of the female operatives, nodding. Gesturing to the nearest telescope, she added, "Take a look, sir."
"Mhm," nodded the man who seemed to be in charge. Through the telescope, he could see the dark-haired girl and her Pikachu sleeping in the grass. Looking back to the operatives, he said, "That's her, alright. And do we have the coordinates of the boy's position yet?"
"No, sir," one of the other operatives piped up. "But we have reason to believe that he is in the Abuna Region."
"Hm," the man in charged pondered. "Call Dr. Zager and let him know we'll need him to assemble a plan and team to track the boy and the Pokémon. I'll have my own team assembled to keep an eye on the girl."
"On it, sir," another operative said, making his way to the nearest phone.
Not too much longer after that, in a not-too-distant part of the very forest Ivy and gang were sleeping in, Ash and Daisy were finishing up their dinner. They ate late, since it took them awhile to leave Star City for Grapevine Town and to find a clearing suitable for a night of camping. However, Ash and Pikachu lucked out, because Daisy was a fantastic chef, and prepared them a delicious soup for dinner in no time at all.
"Thanks, Daisy," Ash grinned, as he and Pikachu cleaned the dishes. "I'm no chef myself, but I always luck out when it comes to finding people who are good at cooking in my travels."
After chuckling, Daisy replied, "No problem, Ash. I think you're a nice guy, so I don't mind feeding you and that adorable little Pikachu of yours."
As soon as she said that, she dropped to her knees once again, to squeeze Pikachu's red cheeks as her eyes and face glazed over with adoration. Meanwhile, both Ash and Pikachu smiled, though they felt uneasy.
The three of them didn't know it, but not too far off in the bushes were Ash's age-old foes - Team Rocket's very own Jessie, James and Meowth. They were watching Ash and Daisy, who they referred to as "farm girl," because of her overalls and bandana, through binoculars equipped with night vision.
"Why do we always havta run inta that twerp with the Pikachu?" whined Meowth. "Wherever we go, the twerps go."
"Yeah, but the little farm girl is new," James observed.
"She may be new, but she has no sense of style," Jessie added with a slight grimace. "Those overalls are absolutely hideous."
Before any of them could say another thing, Jessie's cell phone went off. Pulling it from one of her bags, she held it to her ear, and answered, "Hello?"
James and Meowth watched and listened as Jessie continued the conversation: "Yes, hello, Dr. Zager...Yes...Yes…I understand...Yes, yes we will...Alright….Goodbye, sir."
As she ended the call, James inquired, "What was that all about?"
"Dr. Zager wants us to work on a special project with him," Jessie informed the other two. "He wants us to keep an eye on the twerp and his Pikachu, to track their movements and know where they are at all time. And there's a more important part to the project he wants us to help him with - he wants us to help him find and capture the Abuna Region's legendary Pokémon."
As Jessie grinned deviously, her two partners looked at her with wide eyes, ones that were full of awe, but quickly became full of the same deviousness that possessed Jessie's eyes. The trio shared a fit of evil laughter for a moment, before James piped up.
"Well, what exactly is the Abuna Region's legendary Pokémon?" he inquired.
"It's called Castrophus," Jessie informed them further. "You know how they say Arceus created the world? Well, it's said that Castrophus is the one who's going to destroy it."
