In space, a sphere was racing through inside appeared to be a single person sitting it.
'Hopefully, we'll find a world to live on.' A figure thought.
Press in some commands into their pod's computer.
'Hmm, according to the computer, there's a planet with potential nearby.' The figure thought.
They type in the planet as the destination.
'Alright, let's see what it has to offer.' They thought.
The pod went to the target planet.
'There it is,' they thought.
Meanwhile, on the planet.
"Ah, it's a nice day," a lone figure said.
"Pika." Yellow Mouse agreed.
The figure sees something.
"Look, Pikachu, a shooting star." The figure said as they pointed at the shooting star.
Suddenly, instead of disappearing through the sky, it kept going.
At a Miltank farm, the pod crash-landed.
"What was that?" A farmer said.
A large, bulky canine that also possesses traits of tigers and lions. It has a distinct, long, dog-like muzzle with a large, round black nose. Its eyes are triangular in shape, with black pupils. It has short, diamond-shaped orange ears with cream-colored insides. The majority of the animal's body is covered with bright orange fur with jagged black stripes, resembling the fur of a tiger. Most of its head and face, as well as its chest and legs, are covered in light cream-colored fluffy tufts of fur. It has a long, puffy, cream-colored tail stand next to the farmer.
"W-who are you?" The farmer questioned me fearfully.
The pod opens, and the figure steps out of the pod.
"So this is the planet I land on." The figure said:.
The figure appeared to be a well-built man with extremely long, spiky black hair with a prominent widow's peak. The clothing the man is wearing is some type of strange armor, but it only protects the chest and waste.
"W-who are you?" The farmer was questioned.
The strange man pulls out a semi-transparent-colored monocle that covers the left eye.
"Let's see what your power level is," the man said as he pushed a button on the device he was now wearing.
It then says five.
"Your power level is puny," the man said as he started to flow out of the crater his pod had made.
"What are you going to do?" The farmer was questioned.
"Anything I want!" the man said as he landed in front of the farmer.
The farmer screams.
The dog next to the man launches a stream of fire at the spiky-headed man.
Only for it to do nothing.
"How cute that the pet tries to protect its master," the man said.
"Please don't hurt Arcanine." The farmer pleaded.
Before the man could say something, a ball of mud hit him in the eyes.
"What the!?" He exclaimed.
From a few feet away, a Miltank grabs some mud and tosss it at the man to try and save both her farmer and friend.
"Come on, Arcanine, let's get out of here." The farmer said.
The man lost his temper as the cow Pokémon kept up its raid of mud.
"Enough!" He said this before firing a blast that knocked the cow out cold.
He looked around and saw the farmer, and the pet was gone.
"Gone, but I suppose it doesn't matter; I'll just explore this planet anyway." The man said,.
The man then jumps into the air and starts to fly.
Back with our hero.
"Man, I wonder how the rest of my Pokemon are doing?" Ash questioned.
"Pika Pikachu." Pikachu said as he walked beside Ash.
Suddenly, they hear something.
Then almost all of Ash's Pokemon rush toward him and Pikachu.
"Guys, what's going on?" Ash questioned.
They let out happy cries as they were glad to see their trainer.
"It's good to see you too." Ash said.
Then Bayleef tackles Ash down.
"Hey, Bayleef," Ash said.
She nuzzled Ash.
"Stop that tickles," Ash said.
"Are you in that Pokemon pile, Ash?" a male voice questioned.
Ash looks up.
There is an older boy behind his Pokemon. The boy's hair is dark green, and his outfit is a short-sleeved, green shirt with a darker green border on it, dark red shorts, a headband that was colored salmon, white socks, an orange backpack, and tennis shoes colored purple and bright orange with white soles.
"Hey, Tracey," Ash said.
"How have you been Ash?" Tracy asks while holding out his hand.
"Good, what about you?" Ash questioned.
"Same as well, but given the season, me and Prof. Oak will be busy for a while." Tracy answered as he helped his friend get back up.
"What season?" Ash questioned.
"Spring, and with it, Pokemon on the rance is going to be seeking out a mate, which means eggs. Why do you think have double the Tauros herd?" Tracey answered as the herd came towards them.
"Oh," Ash said.
Then the herd of sixty Tauros stopped in front of the two trainers.
"Hey! Tauros." Ash greeted.
The fully grown ones let out a moo while the younger ones looked at Ash in confusion.
"So I take it that those little Tauros are their kids." Ash said.
"Yep, some of the trainers after your group catch some Dittoes, Miltanks, and other Pokemon in the Field Egg Group." Tracey said.
"Cool," Ash said.
Ash went over to pet each one of the young Tauros.
"Hello, little ones, my name is Ash." Ash said.
Meanwhile, at Team Rocket HQ,.
"Sir, there's a situation." A grunt was said.
A man with a muscled body and an orange R on his uniform looks at the grunt.
"What is it?" The man was questioned.
"Something is flying towards us!" the grunt answered.
"Is it a Pokemon?" Gozu questioned.
"No, and it's not a plane or drone!" the grunt answered.
"Can you identify it?" Gozu questioned.
"Been trying with no luck!" the grunt answered.
Suddenly, a loud crash was heard.
Then the alarm went off.
"Check the security cameras; one of them should be able to show what is attacking us!" Gozu ordered.
As soon as the screen turns on, what they see shocks them.
A spiky-haired man was blasting their base.
"Who is that!?" Gozu questioned.
"I tried facial recognition, and this guy isn't in any database!" the grunt said as she saw some of her fellow grunts' heads blasted clean off.
"That's not possible!?" Gozu exclaimed.
"Trust me, I wish it was fake, but it isn't. Some guy is firing some energy from his body and is killing everyone in the base!" the grunt said.
"What can we do!?" Gozu questioned.
"Hmm, sir, should you ask our leader what to do?" the grunt questioned back.
"Then contact him!?" Gozu said.
In his private quarters, the leader of the criminal organization was having some "bonding" time with his Persian.
"Not so classy now, are you?" Giovanni said as he enjoyed the site in front of him.
Suddenly, he hears his phone ring.
He picks it up.
"What is it? and it better not be about those three fools!" Giovanni said as he stopped moving.
"No, sir, the base is under attack!" Gozu said.
"By what!?" Giovanni is shocked that someone has found his headquarters.
His Persian was more unhappy about their time being interrupted as she was reaching her climax.
"I don't know if he looks human, but he's shooting beams of energy out of his hands!" Gozu said.
"Patch it through to my monitor!" Giovanni ordered it as he got dressed.
As he does so.
As the former gym leader watches the strange man destroy his base,.
"How is this possible?" Giovanni exclaimed.
"We don't know! What are your orders?" Gozu asks
"Evacuate the premises!" Giovanni ordered.
"But, sir, the man is in the vehicle storage area!" Gozu said.
"What!" Giovanni exclaimed.
"That's where he started to attack us." Gozu said.
"Find a way out, then!" Giovanni ordered.
"What about the Pokemon here, sir?" Gozu asks
"Bring as many as you can." Giovanni ordered.
"Which base should we AAAAAAA?" Gozu tries to ask only to have the room he's in blow up from below.
"Gozu!" Giovanni shouted.
Then the screen went blinking.
Giovanni then rushes to gather his things.
His Persian yelps.
'It's only a matter of time until someone notices the smoke from his base burning down, which means if any of the computers can be saved, this is the end of Team Rocket!' Giovanni thought to himself.
Suddenly, the building shakes.
'Then again, with how this madman is destroying the base, I might not have to worry about law enforcement using the data; if I don't make it out alive, then Team Rocket will fall apart!' Giovanni thought.
"Come Persian, let's get out of here." Giovanni said.
Both trainers and Pokemon leave the room as they run. Giovanni sees that the Pokemon that Team Rocket had stolen are now freed and running away from the base.
"Great, it looks like I'll have to start over." He said.
"That's if you get out of here alive!" said the leader of Team Rocket.
Giovanni turns to see the man who is attacking his base.
"Who are you, and why did you attack my forces!?" Giovanni questioned me while stepping back.
"The name is Raditz, and as for why I attacked your base, it's because I wanted to." The man, now known as Raditz, said.
Raditz then fired an energy blast at Giovanni's chest, where the former gym leader's heart was.
Persian stared at her dead master in shock for a minute before booking it, hoping to get as far away from there as possible.
"This has been a nice warm-up." Raditz said as he kept blasting the base.
Meanwhile, with Persian, there were a million thoughts in her head as she ran.
'What the hell!? No normal human should do something like that!' Persian thought.
As she stops to breathe, she wonders what she should do now.
'Headquarters is the only base in the Kanto region, and some of the field agents are in the other regions setting up bases. The only agents I know I'm nearby are these three idiots. Wait a minute!?' she thought as she remembered the one trainer the three members were chased for years.
'If that brat likes to play hero, then let him die as one!' the classy cat Pokemon thought.
" She then starts sniffing the ground.
'That way!' she thought as she went east.
Back with Ash.
"I can't believe how many of my Pokemon had kids of their own!" Ash said as he saw it wasn't just his Tauros that had children.
"Yeah, surprising, isn't it?" Tracey questioned.
"Yeah, what did the other trainers do with the baby Pokemon their Pokemon parented?" Ash asks
"They either took them with them or traded them to other trainers." Tracey said.
"Hmm," Ash said as he started to think.
"What are you thinking, Ash?" Tracey questioned.
"What I should do with the baby Pokemon." Ash answered.
"Well, that's for you to decide; you can either keep them or offer them for trades." Tracey said.
"I think I'll ask them when they are older if they want to stay with me or if they want me to trade them." Ash said
"That's cool." Tracey said.
"Hopeful that by then you won't have one hundred and twenty Tauros," a voice said.
They turn to see Prof. Oak approaching.
"I don't think my range will be able to hold that." Prof. Oak said.
"Right," Ash said.
'Really? With how big this place is, it can't handle a herd of Tauros?' Pikachu thought.
"Suddenly, they heard rustling in the bushes.
Out of the bushes were a tired Persian.
"A Persian?" Ash questioned.
"That's odd; Persians do live in this area." Prof. Oak said.
The Persian looks at the humans before turning her gaze to Ash.
She brought out one of her claws and started to write on the ground.
The three humans look to see what she's writing.
"Some strange man had destroyed Team Rocket's headquarters and killed every human in there!" Tracey read aloud.
"What!" Ash exclaimed.
"Ash, try to catch this Persian!" Prof. Oak said while he knows he can't take a chance on this being a trap.
"Right!" Ash said before pulling out a pokeball.
'Just because my Giovanni is dead doesn't mean I'm a will Pokemon my Pokeball is at...' Persian thought but stopped as she remembered she left her pokeball back at the former Team Rocket's headquarters, and given how long she ran for odds, it would have been destroyed by the time she reaches here.
Before she could do anything, the pokeball hit her, causing her to be sucked into it.
The ball moves once, then stops with a click sound.
"Well, I caught a Persian," Ash said.
"And now I can check who was its last trainer; if it wrote the truth, then it should be reported as stolen." Prof. Oak said as he grabbed the Pokeball.
As he checks.
The three humans and Pikachu went inside Prof. Oak's lab.
"So who does it belong to?" Ash questioned.
"Turns out your Persian is a female, and her former trainer is Giovanni, the Viridian City Gym Leader." Prof. Oak said as he pulled up a picture of the man.
"What!" Ash said.
"What's wrong, Ash?" Tracey questioned.
"When I went to challenge the Viridian City gym, Team Rocket was there!" Ash explained.
"What!? but the data from Persian's former ball said he didn't report her as stolen!" Prof. Oak said it in shock.
"That's not all! Back in Unova, he was there, leading Team Rocket and trying to capture Meloetta and the Forces of Nature! He even battled against me; he uses Persian!" Ash explained.
"But that can only mean one thing." Tracey said.
"That Giovanni is the leader of Team Rocket and is most likely wounded or worse!" Prof. Oak said as he started to type at a rapid pace.
Suddenly, Persian's pokeball started shaking.
Prof. Oak hit the send icon, and the email to the G-men was off on its way.
Suddenly, Persian burst out of her pokeball.
Then Pikachu shocks her with his thunderbolt.
Poke translator was activated.
"What'd you do that for you stupid rat!?" Persian questioned.
"For your actions in Unova!" Pikachu, as he didn't drop his guard.
"For your information, I was just following orders." Persian said
"From the smell, you were more than happy to follow your master's orders." Pikachu said.
"Hey, enjoy what you do, is all I say." Persian said.
"And taking Pokemon from their trainers is enjoyable for you, ally cat!" Pikachu said.
"Not really; it was mostly battling that I enjoyed." Persian said.
"Never mind! What's the deal? Is Team Rocket's headquarters destroyed!?" Pikachu question.
"Some long-haired man in weird armor attacked the headquarters." Persian said.
"Really?" Pikachu said he did not believe the former Team Rocket Pokémon.
"Yes, he killed everyone, including my master." Persian said.
"You mean everyone at the headquarters, but that doesn't mean the "man" kills every member of Team Rocket." Pikachu said he was still not believing her.
"That is true; however, without a true chain of command, Team Rocket might as well have been destroyed." Persian said.
"Beside, why did he attack the headquarters of Team Rocket?" Pikachu question.
"Because he thought it'd be fun." Persian said.
Pikachu just stared at the classy cat Pokemon for a few seconds.
"You guys had it coming to you," Pikachu said.
Persian growls at that.
The Poke translator was deactivated.
"Now we just have to wait and see what the G-men find." Prof. Oak said.
A few minutes later, Prof. Oak gets a message.
"Look like Persian had written the truth. The G-men found the headquarters is not only in ruins, but the damage looks like a trio of Tyranitars attacked it, and they found all Pokemon Team Rocket had stolen and are working to return them to either their trainers or the places they were taken from. The G-men are still looking to see if any of the computers can be salvaged." Prof. Oak said.
A smug smirk appeared on Persian's face.
"But if Team Rocket's all of the higher-ups are dead, that means the rest of the members will focus on being the next leader to make sure that the law enforcement in the other regions won't catch them." Ash said.
"That, I'm not sure." Oak said.
"Why's that, Prof. Oak?" Ash questioned.
Well, we don't know what Team Rocket's hierarchy is, so we don't know if a power vacuum will happen." Oak said.
"From the other members of Team Rocket I've met, I'm sure a power vacuum will happen." Ash said.
"I see," Oak said.
"I guess now we just have to wait and see." Tracey said
"Right," Ash said.
