Chapter Six

The two blondes had just entered Jackie's room when his communicator rang. As he answered the phone he didn't notice the woman place a bug on him. He then walked out of the room to answer the call.

"This is Ranger Walker."

"Hello Mr. Walker. This is Gowly."

"C-c-comissioner. Any particular reason for your call?"

"I have a very special mission for you."

"I'm ready to receive it."

"No I'm afraid not. This is a very sensitive mission. I will give you the details in person."

"But sir, I'm in Lilycove city right now. It will take me a few days to reach Pokémon Isle."

"No need Mr. Walker. I'm flying to Lilycove on my Salamence now. I should be outside your hotel in five minutes."

"You know where I'm staying?"

"Of course. Your styler also works as a GPS tracker. I know where every single ranger is at any given time. But enough of this. I have arrived." With a click the Commissioner hung up.

Jackie then proceeded to run out of the hotel. When he got outside, he saw a massive Salamence flying in. Most Salamences were already huge but the Commissioner's was even bigger. The sheer intimidation factor was enough to make most challengers faint. Jackie almost had a heart attack when he saw the giant dragon flying towards him. Fortunately, Salamce stopped just before hitting Jackie and landed. Gowly stepped off of his Salamence and recalled it to its pokéball.

"Mr. Walker. Lovely to see you in person."

"Hello sir."

"Now onto why I'm here. Do you remember your Manaphy mission?"

"Of course."

"Remember the boy you traveled with? Ash Ketchum?"

"Yes. What about him?"

"Here's your new, sensitive mission. Follow him. I fear that he is in danger, and it is vital for him to remain safe. Shadow him but don't make your presence known. He mustn't know that you're tailing him. Got it?"

"Why is he in danger?"

At this the Commissioner leaned in and whispered his answer to Jackie. Unfortunately, the bug was still able to make out what was being said.

"You can't be serious! He's a child. I don't think this is a good idea."

"That decision is mine and as your boss I'm ordering you to carry out my previous set of instructions. Follow the boy and protect him! Got it?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. I have a meeting with Wallace in Evergrande. I'm going there next via ferry. From there I'll fly to Pokémon Isle on Salamence. Ash is currently in Johto. Wait for him to arrive in New Bark Town. Then start following him. And don't let him see you! Oh, and here's a communicator that has my direct line. Call me if something goes wrong."

"Yes sir."

"Very well then. Good bye Mr. Walker and hop to it." With that, Gowly walked off without giving Jackie a chance to answer.

Grumbling to himself, Jackie returned to his hotel room. He walked into the room without looking at his fellow blonde.

"Sorry babe, but I got to run. But we could do it quickly."

"I'm afraid not ranger." The woman took out a black tulip from her pocket and shot electricity at Jackie. He was jolted and then collapsed to the floor. "And thanks for the juicy information. Giovanni will love to hear it."

"Who are you?" Jackie asked from his prone position on the ground.

"You can call me Domino." She kicked Jackie right between the legs and walked out of the room. She then took out her own communicator.

"Giovanni, it's me Domino."

"Yes Agent 009?"

"I have some pretty juicy information that you'll want to hear about."

"Okay then. Come down to HQ then."

"Right away sir."

Minutes later, Domino sat in a ferry headed for Kanto. By this time, Jackie had recovered from her attack and was calling the Commissioner.

"This is Gowly."

"Sir, it's Ranger Walker."

"What's wrong?"

"Someone listened in on our conversation. Someone knows about Ash."

"Describe this person."

"She's a blonde caucasian and she's pretty. Called herself Domino."

"Damn it! She's an agent of Team Rocket. Now Giovanni knows."

"That's not good."

"Good thing I'm still in Hoenn. Take my Salamence and fly to Johto. Salamence is faster than any ship. Once you've reached Ash, Salamence will fly back to me. Damn it Mr. Walker. You're supposed to be one of the best Rangers in the Union. How could you let this happen?"

"Well you see sir, I wa-"

"I don't want excuses! I want results! I've already sent Salamence. Find Ash and protect him. Don't screw up again! Am I clear?"

"Crystal."

"Good. Hop to it!"

After hanging up, Jackie went outside and waited for Salamence to show up.

-Line Break-

"You were excellent like always, return Krookodile!"

"Master, I want to battle!"

"You sure Ralts? You're still new."

"I won't get any experience if I don't battle!"

"True. Alright then. Ralts, I choose you!"

Ralts walked onto the field and glared fiercely at Morty's Mismagius. No one hurt Ash's pokémon and got away with it.

"Alright Ralts. Let's use shadow ball!"

"Counter with your own shadow ball Mismagius!"

The two shadow balls collided and canceled each other out. Ralts and Mismagius continued to launch shadows at each other, but they just ended up canceling each other out. By this point, Ralts was becoming frustrated. Mismagius, who had more experience, was keeping her cool.

"Enough of this. Mismagius, use shadow ball rapid fire."

Mismagius started firing shadow balls quickly. Ralts was unable to concentrate and was hit by several shadow balls. Ralts was thrown back and struggled to get back up. Just as the referee was about to declare Ralts unable to battle, Ralts managed to stand and a white aura surrounded him. In Ralts's place stood a slightly taller pokémon known as Kirlia.

"Good job Ralts, I mean Kirlia! Let's end this with a shadow ball!"

"Counter with your shadow ball!"

"Keep going Kirlia! Use psychic to stop Mismagius in its tracks."

"Stop Kirlia with your own psychic and end this with shadow ball!"

Although a psychic type, Kirlia was no match for Mismagius's experience. Kirlia was immobilized and then blasted with shadow balls. Even though he had recently evolved, Kirlia was still weak from the previous shadow balls and was knocked out.

"Kirlia is unable to battle. The winner is Mismagius."

At this point, Mismagius also collapsed.

"Mismagius is unable to battle. Both trainers are down to their final pokémon."

"Kirlia, how'd you do that?"

"Just before Mismagius attacked me, I used my fourth move: destiny bond."

"Which knocks out the opponent the opponent if the user faints. Genius!"

"But I still lost. I failed you."

"No you didn't. For your first official battle, that was great. Plus, you were going against a gym leader's pokémon. I'm proud."

"Thanks master!"

"You done stalling Ash? Meet my final pokémon, Froslass!"

"I'll take you down right now. Go Pikachu!"

"Start strong with ice beam!"

"Counter with thunderbolt!"

The beams of ice and electricity collided. Neither was making much headway against the other. Pikachu and Froslass were tied neck and neck until Ash came up with an idea.

"Jump and use iron tail."

Pikachu immediately stopped its thunderbolt, jumped up, and slammed its tail into Froslass's face. The super effective attack knocked out the frail ice/ghost pokémon.

"Froslass is unable to battle. The winner is Pikachu. The winner of the match is Ash from Pallet Town!"

"Congratulations Ash! Here's the ghost coin."

In Morty's palm lay a dark purple coin with the words the Commissioner's Cup engraved on it,

"We just won the ghost coin! Now it's time to win the dragon coin!"

Sorry this so late. I'm not getting a lot of reviews and I'm losing my drive. I'll continue this story regardless, but updates will be slow. I have almost 300 views and 8 reviews. That's kind of sad. Getting more reviews will increase my motivation for writing. I have a lot of interesting ideas that I want to share with you all. Please review
