After tapping a series of buttons and calibrations they were ready and Kurt pressed the final button and the GS ball's central button flashed red three times and then the pokeball exploded opened and in a flash of light a pokemon materialized. It took everyone in the lab a few moments to process that the GS ball had opened and what had been inside. Lying on the ground lay a weak Celebi. A light green pokemon with slight wings and large blue eyes. Professor scooped up the pokemon and rushed off to help it. The pokemon was weak from being trapped in the pokeball for so long without food, fresh air or water. The pokeball kept the pokemon suspended in a dormant state but that didn't mean that the pokemon didn't need to be cared for. Especially pokemon like Celebi, a being connected closely with nature.

After Professor Oak assured Ash, Serena and Pikachu that the Celebi will be fine, they decided to greet Ash's many pokemon on the lab research grounds. Ash's Bulbasaur was the first they greeted. "Hiya Bulbasaur, how are you?" Ash greeted his old friend and Pikachu got off Ash's shoulder to greet the pokemon also. The pokemon happily greeted its friends and nuzzled against Ash's leg. Ash smiled and then stood up from his kneeling position. Bulbasaur knew what Ash was going to ask and prepared itself. "Bulbasaur, use solar beam. Tell everyone to come here," Ash told his pokemon. Bulbasaur obeyed and fired a massive solar beam. But this solar beam was far more impressive than a normal solar beam as it contained a myriad of colours to signal to all of Ash's pokemon to come to that spot. Ash's pokemon knew that different colours in the solar beam signalled to pokemon from different regions as Ash had pokemon from not just Kalos and his native Kanto. He also had a number of pokemon from Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova. Serena was mesmerized by the beauty of the solar beam. Then she noticed the sound of the stampeding pokemon heading straight for them. She was terrified as she didn't realise the significance of the solar beam.

Ash joyously ran towards his pokemon and Pikachu followed. Seeing this Serena realised that these were all Ash's pokemon. There was a Charizard, Gliscor, Bayleef, Heracross, Swellow and many others including a number of Tauros which stampeded past the group. Pikachu happily greeted the pokemon being good friends with most if not all. Ash's Gible jumped up and bit Ash on the head. Laughing Ash calmly pulled Gible off his head and invited his Kalos pokemon out to meet the rest of his pokemon. Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha and Noivern appeared and Ash's pokemon greeted the newcomers warmly. Ash noticed that Serena was still standing off to one side, respectfully allowing Ash to greet his pokemon without her.

Ash invited her over. Serena smiled. "You have a lot of pokemon. I've never seen so many of them," Serena marvelled. Totodile danced over happily and Serena laughed at its energy. She then called out her pokemon to meet Ash's pokemon. Oshowatt, ever the flirt, instantly fell head over heels in love with Serena's beautiful Slyveon and was soon faced by Pancham. They quickly began arguing and Pikachu stepped in to stop the coming fight. Serena and Ash laughed and Ash started to tell Serena of some of the many adventures he'd had with his pokemon and introducing her to some personally. Serena had gotten a bit of a shock when Charizard used flamethrower on Ash but quickly realised it was just Charizard's way of greeting Ash. After a little while Tracey joined them with Celebi. Celebi quickly befriended many of Ash's pokemon and Ash and Serena. Together they played and enjoyed their time together.

Unbeknownst to the large group of friends, Jessie, James and Meowth watched from the edge of the forest. They greedily watched the pokemon around Ash and Serena focusing particularly on the electric mouse pokemon, Pikachu. "Hold the phone, that's a Celebi!" Meowth exclaimed recognising the light green pokemon that joined the group. "Do you know what the boss would say if we brought that to him as well as Pikachu?" Jessie asked her team mates gleefully. They all smiled and exclaimed together as one, "He'll promote us and we'll be rich!" "But there are a lot of pokemon there to stop us. How will we manage to catch that pokemon?" James mentioned noting Ash's many strong pokemon which they had often been thwarted by in the past. Meowth sniggered maliciously. "Leave that to me," Meowth informed his team.

So, like I said before, I like cliff-hangers. Let me know what you think of the story so far.

Until the next chapter…
