Chapter 2

We are now in a rush as we find a police station and Officer Jenny is putting up some posters. "Stop right there, who are you and why are you in a hurry?"

I say, "Officer Jenny, we're in a hurry. Pikachu is injured and we need to go to the Pokemon Center."

We all show our trainer licenses that we got back when we were in the Sevestar Region, and she says, "I see. Then I'll give you a ride."

Then we go to the Pokemon Center by riding in Officer Jenny's police car, and once we get there, Nurse Joy has two Chansey take Pikachu into the emergency room. Insey says, "I think we should try to buy some potions and Pokeballs just in case we have another trouble."

"You're right." Serena says. "That might be better."

Then we all head to the Pokemon Mart nearby, and just after we purchase the items, the staff member asks, "Hey, are you from Pallet Town?"

"We are." I say.

"You know Professor Oak, right? His order came in. Can I get you to take it to him?" He gives us a parcel, and Serena says, "Just great... we can't leave because Pikachu is still healing..."

"Maybe we should call him first." Insey says, "That reminds me, we should also call Mom as well."

Then we all go to the Pokemon Center and make a call. My Mom says, "Hello Ash, I see you are in Viridian City. It takes both your father and me to travel four days here. Are Insey and Serena with you?"

"Of course they are." I say as the two girls wave their hands to her. Insey says, "Mom, I have to inform you that we're in the Pokemon Center because my brother accidentally angered a flock of angry Spearows and Pikachu is in critical condition."

"Insey!" I gasp, and my Mom stares at me. "Really?"

"Yeah, if only Pikachu would listen to my command the first time." I mutter. "And that reminds me... while escaping the Spearows, I accidentally break a bike that I borrowed, I was asking if you have any Bicycle Vouchers left?"

"You're lucky that I have one more, but it seems that Pikachu of yours really gives you a lot of trouble..." My Mom frowns, then with help from the PC, my Mom gives me the Bike Voucher.

"Thanks, Mom." I say.

"Serena, Insey. Ash is bound to be in a lot of trouble. It's up to you to keep an eye on him." My Mom says to me.

"No problem." Insey and Serena say in unison. Then we end the call and call Professor Oak.

"Ah, Ash, Insey, and Serena. I see that the three of you are now in Viridian City. Looks like I won the bet with Gary." Professor Oak says.

"Hello, Professor, forget about the stupid bet you made with that Oak Tree. We met staff from the Poke Mart and he wants us to give you this parcel. Do you know what's inside?" I say.

"Ah! You don't need to bring it back to me. In fact, why don't you open the parcel right now?" Professor Oak asks.

And after we open the parcel, we find that there are three Rotom Phones inside. "Rotom Phones?" Serena asks.

"Yes, these are the newest models. With the Rotom Phones, you'll be able to go through the Pokedex, the Town Map, and other applications that you can use."

"That's awesome!" I say as we all take one, Professor Oak says, "And also, Ash and Serena. Both of your Pokedex accounts are linked, so that means you can share your own Pokemon as you requested."

"Thanks." Serena says. "It definitely helps a lot."

Insey says, "By the way, Professor. You won't believe us, but we actually see a Ho-oh flying past us in the sky."

"Ho-oh you say? Many trainers have searched for ages without success. I wonder if you're special enough to have him show up." Professor Oak asks, before hearing the doorbell. "Oh, that must be the pizza, I'll see you later."

Then we end the call and use the Pokedex app, and I can see three Pokemon inside.

Charmander: The Lizard Pokemon: Fire Type. Obviously prefers hot places. When it rains, steam is said to sprout from the tip of its tail.

Rattata: The Mouse Pokemon: Normal Type. Bites anything when it attacks. Small and very quick, it is a common sight in many places.

Pikachu: The Mouse Pokemon: Electric Type. When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.

"So that's thee out of 151 as well." Serena says. "I don't think we can unlock the other regions until we get there..."

"Yeah. Now the Kanto one is available." I say.

"HEY, YOU!" Just then, the same girl with the bike appears, and she looks angry. "I KNEW I FIND YOU HERE! YOU STOLE MY BIKE AND DESTROYED IT TO SAVE YOUR POKEMON!"

"I'm sorry, I still have this, you can use it." I say while giving her the bike voucher, much to her surprise with anger. "Go to a nearby bike store and use it, you'll have a new bike."

"HEY! I'M NOT FINISHED! YOU LITTLE LOSER! NOW I CAN SEE WHY YOUR POKEMON IS IN THE POKEMON CENTER!"

Now Insey and Serena are angry. Insey says, "Who are you calling a loser? He already gave you the voucher, which costs probably a hundred million dollars!"

Serena says, "Yeah! And we're worried about Pikachu being in the emergency room and all you care about is a bike! If anything, Pikachu is the one who refuses to listen to Ash and that's the reason why we're in this situation right now!"

The girl freezes as I lower my head, then she asks, "Is it very serious?"

"I think so... just after my first day of the journey..." I frown.

Just then, Nurse Joy comes with Pikachu on the bed unconscious. I rush towards Pikachu and ask, "Pikachu, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, Pikachu is resting. It's a good thing that you got here so fast and that the procedure went well. And it should be fine." Nurse Joy says.

"Thanks a lot." I say, and both Insey and Serena are also thanking her.

Just then, the alarm appears and the two Pokeballs come from the sky, revealing an Ekans and a Koffing. Koffing uses Smokescreen and causes the whole Pokemon Center to be covered with smoke.

"What's going on?" Insey asks with horror.

"Don't be frightened little twerps." "We'll introduce ourselves to you."

"To protect the world from devastation." "To unite all people within our nation."

"To denounce the evil with truth and love." "To extend our reach to the stars above."

"Jessie." "James."

"Team Rocket blast off with the speed of light." "Surrender now, or prepare for a fight." "Meowth, dat's right."

"Did they say Team Rocket?" Serena asks. And just when the smoke is cleared, there are also some grunts aiming guns at people.

Insey growls, "This is going too far..."

I say, "Serena, help Nurse Joy secure the Pokemon!"

"Right!" Serena says. "I'll help too." The orange-haired girl says as they leave.

We also notice that Jessie, James, and the talking Meowth are chasing after them, but they're the least focused right now. Some grunts are surrounding us, and I say, "Insey, let's dance, shall we?"

"Of course." Then after we take out our knives, we start to dance around the Pokemon Center.


(Serena's POV)

While we are rushing towards the storage room, we notice that the power goes off. "Hey, the lights!" The girl says.

"They must have cut our power!" I say.

"Don't worry, we have Pika-Power Source." Nurse Joy says as we see a lot of Pikachu charging up the electricity. Then we decide to help Nurse Joy transport the Pokeballs to the Pewter Pokemon Center.

Just then, the weird trio breaks into the room and the only Pokemon I have are Charmander and Rattata, who is now with Ash right now, the girl says, "This is a waste of time, I guess I have to take this into my own hands! Misty calls Goldeen!"

So this girl is called Misty, but seriously? A Goldeen? Water Pokemon can't battle on land, but I realize that she's trying to make a distraction. I use the chance to bring Pikachu out in the open.


(Back to Ash's POV)

"Looks like we've managed to get rid of them..." I say, on the ground, there are unconscious Team Rocket grunts, trainers, and Pokemon. Since Insey and I are Arceus, we can see through the hearts of people. If the Rocket grunt is completely evil, we'll kill them. But if they still have some space to change, then we'll just knock them off cold and leave them to Officer Jenny. As for the trainers and Pokemon, we have to rewrite their memories to make them forget about the killing part.

Just then, we notice Serena rushing towards us with the Pikachu in bed. "Serena?" I ask in shock, and just then, the bed crashes onto a wall and a bunch of Pikachu appears and attacks the remaining trio. Once they stop shocking, our own Pikachu is back up.

"Pikachu!" I cheer, but then the Meowth seems to escape the shock and says, "Do I seriously have to do all of this by myself?"

"Serena, these two need some rest." I throw the Charmander and Rattata Pokeball to Serena, who nods and tries to heal them with the healing machine. I say, "Pikachu, I know we have gone through a wrong start, but please if you trust me enough..."

"You bet." Then I decide to transfer some of my powers to Pikachu through aura, and the trio finally realizes who I am.

"Uh oh... don't tell me that this boy..." Jessie says.

"There's no mistake, he's the son of "The Dark Rainbow"!" James gasps.

"He's not the only one. We're doing this for Golly!" Insey says.

"Pikachu! Use Thunder Shock!" Pikachu now uses the move, and it causes the trio to be hit by the attack as they are sent flying.

After it's over, Officer Jenny arrives and asks, "Is everyone okay?"

I say, "It's better that you arrest the grunts right now."

"R-right!" Then as Officer Jenny does the work, I turn to Pikachu and he says, "I'm sorry about my behavior..."

"It's fine, Pikachu. So what do you say? Friends?" I ask, and Pikachu nods while jumping onto my shoulder.


(Meowth's POV)

After that embarrassing loss, we decided to call the boss. After explaining the situation, he seems to be pale and says, "You three will be having a new mission. I want you to keep an eye on that Ketchum boy. But do not provoke him unless you want a quick death."

"Yes, boss!" After we salute, he ends the call. I can't believe that boy is the son of the "Dark Rainbow" One of the notorious Team Rocket Assassins who left the team and somehow become the queen. I heard that the boss gathered his army and tried to attack them, but he suffered a huge loss.

"But you have to admit, that Pikachu is rare. Maybe we could try to steal it for ourselves." Jessie says.

"Yeah, the boss will definitely like that Pikachu." James adds.

I sigh as I don't think it's a good idea...
