Chapter 6 Bulbasaur and Squirtle
Here's chapter 6 everyone this chapter will mainly focus on Bulbasaur and Squirtle enjoy!
The chapter begins where the last one ended with the gang being surprised seeing a Bulbasaur.
"A BULBASUAR!" The group say with shocked expressions, Ash then quickly shakes his head and gets excited then speaks.
"I wasn't expecting to find a wild Bulbasaur I'm going to catch it Pokeball Go!" Ash says he throws the Pokeball but the plant dinosaur smacks the ball back at Ash hitting him in the face.
"Ow" Ash says as he rubs his face, the wild Bulbasaur then uses this opportunity to take the scared Oddish and run away as Ash speaks.
"Wait come back!" Ash says as he, Pikachu, Misty, and Brock start to chase after the two mons. After running for a few moments, they come across a pretty broken up bridge that's hanging over a running river. Brock and Misty have scared looks on their faces as Brock speaks.
"Uh maybe we should go a different way Ash" Brock says with Misty and Pikachu nodding as Ash speaks.
"Come on guys it shouldn't be too bad all we have to do is take it slow" Ash responds as Brock and Misty speak.
"Okay then you go first" Brock and Misty say with Ash shrugging his shoulders Pikachu climbs on Ash's shoulder and Ash begins carefully walk on the broken bridge. A few moments later Brock and Misty join him as all three trainers begin walking on the bridge slowly. As they continue to walk Ash looks forward and speaks.
"We're almost there guys" Ash says encouraging his friends who are too scared to respond back. As they continue to walk suddenly a large gust of wind blows that breaks the bridge shocking everyone as they yell.
"AHHHHHH!" "PIKA!" The three trainers and Pikachu scream in fear as they do their best to hold onto the bridge. When the wind goes away, they notice that they're are now closer to the other side of the bridge and just need to climb up as Ash speaks.
"Pikachu you go first" Ash says with Pikachu quickly reaching the top, with Ash slowly starting to climb up next, then Misty it's now Brock's turn but as soon as he begins to climb a large wind comes breaking the bridge even more causing Brock to fall towards the river as Misty yells.
"BROCK!" Misty screams in horror as Ash acts quickly and brings out Clefable and Butterfree.
"Use Psychic!" Ash calls the two Pokémon fire the Psychic waves safely catching Brock. When that happens, the wind comes back and is getting stronger making it more difficult for Butterfree and Clefable to hold onto Brock with their Psychic. Misty notices and quickly brings out her Starmie to help pull Brock back up as well. The three Pokémon are really struggling since the wind is so strong but they're able to successfully bring Brock on the cliff safely. Brock lets out a few huffs then looks at Ash and Misty.
"Thanks guys" Brock says while having a relieved smile on his face as Ash and Misty speak.
"You're welcome" Ash and Misty respond while giving a few huffs as well. They then return their Pokémon and continue to walk.
10 minutes have gone by, and the group still haven't seen the Bulbasaur and Oddish from earlier. As they continue to walk Misty looks at Ash and speaks.
"Hey Ash, maybe we should go back it doesn't look like Bulbasaur and Oddish are here" Misty suggests, Ash was going to agree but when he takes one step a net pop's out from the ground grabbing the three kids and Pikachu as they're now stuck in a tree.
"Hey what's the meaning of this?!" Ash yells as he then looks down and sees the same Bulbasaur from earlier giving him a smug look and laughing at how he and his friends got caught as Ash speaks.
"Hey let us down!" Ash says with Bulbasaur still laughing it then turns around and walks away leaving the 3 trainers and Pikachu stuck in the tree.
Almost 5 minutes have passed since Bulbasaur left Ash and his friends have been screaming for help for the past 5 minutes, but no one's showed up they're about to give up until they hear a voice.
"Hello, is someone up there!" A voice of a young lady asks, the group look down and see a girl around Brock's age. She has blue hair with a green bow when she gets closer, she gasps at the situation they're in and speaks.
"Oh no I'll get you down right now" The girl says as she successfully lets the group down from the tree, they all tell her thank you as the girl then introduces herself.
"I'm Melanie, that trap you were in is used to capture any criminals that show up here" Melanie says with the group nodding they then introduce themselves with Brock's face glowing a bright red as Melanie speaks.
"It's nice to meet all of you, you all must be exhausted come with me" Melanie says with the group nodding as they follow her. They keep walking until they pass a few trees and enter what looks like a village that's filled with a lot of Pokémon. The gang have surprised looks on their faces as Ash speaks.
"Whoa are all these Pokémon yours?" Ash asks as Melanie speaks.
"Nope this is called the Hidden village it's a place where injured or scared Pokémon can stay until they feel better" Melanie responds with a smile the group nods as Brock is extremely happy he goes up to Melanie and grabs her hands.
"Not only are you beautiful you're also a great person taking care of sick Pokémon I really want to learn some of your techniques" Brock says with hearts in his eyes, Melanie doesn't notice Brocks advances and allows the group to stay. She tells them that they can bring out their Pokémon as well, but they aren't allowed to catch any Pokémon in the village the group nod and bring out their Pokémon.
Ash brings out Butterfree, Magikarp, Pidgeotto and Clefable, Misty brings out her Starmie, Vaporeon and Seel, Brock brings out his Alolan Geodude, Zubat, and Sandshrew he doesn't bring out Onix since it would be too big and might scare the other Pokémon the groups Pokémon and wild Pokémon then start to interact with each other and are having a good time.
The flying types interact with each other as do the ground and water types with Ash's Magikarp happy to see another Magikarp it hasn't seen another one of its species since it left home. Clefable helps Brock and Melanie take care of some of the sick Pokémon that are there, and Pikachu was able to find other Pikachu's to interact with.
Ash and Misty are happy to see the Pokémon enjoying themselves; Misty then notices one Pokémon hiding from everyone and it's the Oddish from earlier. Melanie notices Misty looking over at Oddish and walks over to her leaving Brock and Ash's Clefable to care for a very sick Rattata. When Melanie makes it to Misty she speaks.
"I see that you're curious about that Oddish" Melanie asks with Misty nodding, as Melanie continues.
"You see that Oddish was recently abandoned by its trainer ever since coming here it's been really terrified of the other Pokémon besides one and it's been slowly warming up to me" Melanie says Misty gets a sad look on her face and begins to walk towards Oddish.
"Odd" Oddish notices Misty approaching gets scared it's about to run away until it notices a calm feeling about Misty. When Misty makes it to Oddish the plant Pokémon stays to hear what the red-haired girl has to say Misty bends down to be at eye level with the Pokémon.
"Hello Oddish, I'm sorry I tried to catch you earlier I didn't know your situation before if I've known that you've just been released by your trainer, I wouldn't have tried to catch you can you forgive me?" Misty says with a genuinely sad look on her face. Oddish looks at her and sees just how sincere she's being the plant Pokémon smiles it goes to rub Misty's leg showing that it has forgiven her making Misty happy as she speaks.
"Thank you Oddish all I was thinking about is winning I hope I'm not becoming heartless" Misty says as she begins to gently pet the plant Pokémon. Ash was about to go make a joke about Misty being heartless but decided to not ruin a nice moment, his eyes then grow wide when he sees Bulbasaur charging at Misty her he's about to say something but is too late as Bulbasaur hits Misty in the back knocking her over Ash and Melanie quickly run over to her. When they make it, Ash looks at Misty and speaks.
"Misty are you alright?" Ash asks with Misty nodding as she stands back up. Ash then stares at the very angry Bulbasaur protecting Oddish as Melanie speaks.
"Bulbasaur it's alright these people aren't bad" Melanie says trying to calm down the Bulb Pokémon but it's not listening to her it then goes and begins pushing Ash's leg trying to force him and his friends to leave. Ash notices this he and Misty look at Melanie as she begins to explain.
"Bulbasaur was only trying to protect Oddish it's the village protector whenever bad people or Pokémon come Bulbasaur is always there to protect us it's a very loyal Pokémon and also doesn't like Pokémon trainers" Melanie says both Ash and Misty nod in understanding as Misty speaks.
"So that's why you attacked me" Misty says as Bulbasaur continues to push Ash's leg the boy looks at the mon and speaks.
"Whoa so you're the village bodyguard that's so cool I would love to have a Pokémon like you" Ash says with a smile as Bulbasaur looks up at the young boy they then hear an explosion. They hear the Pokémon screaming as Ash, Misty, Melanie, Oddish and Bulbasaur quickly head into that direction. As they get closer, they see Brock and Ash's Clefable Ash then yells.
"BROCK what's going on?!" Ash yells Brock and Clefable turn back to Ash and the others heading toward them as Brock speaks.
"I'm not sure Clefable and I just got done taking care of the very sick Rattata we then heard an explosion and quickly headed outside" Brock responds with the group nodding. They then see four people walk out from the smoke two men and two women, there's a woman with long blonde hair and a man with short teal hair next her behind them are another man and woman holding cages containing a Weepinbell and a Pidgey there's also other Pokémon behind them lying unconscious (thankfully none of the groups Pokémon). The 4 people are all wearing black and have a red R in the middle of their shirts. The group all gasp in horror at the sight there seeing Ash, Misty and Brock get mad and call out.
"TEAM ROCKET!" All three kids' yells causing the rocket members to look at them and smile as the teal haired man looks at the blonde woman and speaks.
"Hey Cassidy look it's the trainers that where on the bridge we broke and followed here" The man with teal hair says with Cassidy nodding as she speaks.
"Your right Hutch they also look angry at us for some reason but I'm not sure why" Cassidy responds in a mocking tone as Butch speaks.
"It's Butch not Hutch!" Butch says in anger as Ash speaks.
"You were the ones that were behind that strong wind?! We could've died!" Ash yells in anger with the TR members looking at each other and giving an evil smile making the group even more angry as Melanie speaks.
"Please release those Pokémon they are very sick and need a lot of rest" Melanie says pleadingly as Butch speaks.
"Nah sorry sister but we were ordered by our boss to find this village and capture the Pokémon here whether they are sick or not" Butch replies as Misty speaks.
"As always you people are horrible!" Misty yells in anger as Cassidy speaks.
"Oh, do you know of our organization? I mean of course you do since it's the top organization in the world" Cassidy says while having a smile on her face as Brock speaks.
"Yeah, back in Mt. Moon we ran into Jessie, James and Meowth. They were trying to steal fossils and the Moon stone" Brock responds causing the other rocket members to laugh.
"Hahahaha so you're the kids that gave those three idiots trouble they are nothing compared to us" Cassidy says while Butch and the two other rocket members laugh. Meanwhile hidden very deeply into the bushes we see Jessie, James and Meowth with very angry looks on their faces as Jessie speaks.
"You know I'm really happy the boss told us not to help our team members, especially Cassidy and Ben I hope those kids crush them" Jessie says in anger with James and Meowth nodding their heads in agreement. Butch then stops laughing and begins to look around as he felt as though someone got his name wrong again. When Cassidy's done laughing, she looks at the group and speaks.
"Anyway, hand us your Pokémon if you don't want things to get ugly" Cassidy says in a sinister tone as she Butch and the other two TR members take their Pokeball's out. Ash then looks at Melanie and speaks.
"Sorry Melanie looks like a battle is unavoidable" Ash says as his alongside the rest Misty's and Brock's Pokémon come to them ready to battle Melanie nods and goes to grab the other Pokémon and bring them inside the cabin. Ash then looks at Clefable.
"Clefable you go protect Melanie and the other Pokémon we'll try and drive out TR" Ash says the Pixie Pokémon nods as it goes to help Melanie gather the other Pokémon it wants to battle as well but understands why Ash told it to protect Melanie and the Pokémon. Bulbasuar looks at Ash and is surprised that Ash would do something like that it thought this trainer would use all his Pokémon to battle these intruders maybe it really misunderstood Ash Bulbasuar thinks to itself but gets ready to battle as soon as the TR members bring out their Pokémon.
Grunt 1 & 2 (that's what I'm calling the other two grunts) both bring out a Golbat, Butch sends out a Grimer and a Rhyhorn while Cassidy sends out a Raticate and a Fearow. The group along with the TR members look at each other until Grunt's 1 & 2 speak.
"Golbat use Air slash!" Grunts 1 & 2 say making the first move as the two-giant bat like Pokémon start firing multiple strong looking slashes of wind as Ash speaks.
"Pidgeotto, Butterfree counter with your Air Slash!" Ash commands as Pidgeotto and Butterfree give a loud cry firing their own slashes of wind the moves collide creating multiple explosions as Butch speaks.
"Grimer use smog!" Butch calls as poisonous gas comes out of Grimer's mouth Brock calls for a command.
"Geodude use Gyro ball and Sandshrew use Rapid spin to blow that smog away!" Brock commands as his Pokémon successfully blow away the gas. Butch gets slightly annoyed then calls for his next move.
"Rhyhorn use Take down!" Butch calls Rhyhorn passes by Geodude and Sandshrew its heading straight for Brock as Ash and Misty speak.
"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash and Misty command as both Magikarp and Vaporeon shoot out the large stream of water successfully hitting Rhyhorn knocking it out instantly surprising Butch as Cassidy speaks.
"Hmmm a Magikarp that can use Hydro Pump, the boss will surely love that" Cassidy thinks to herself as she finally calls for a command.
"Fearow use Drill Peck and Raticate use Hyper beam!" Cassidy calls Fearow sores through the sky it quickly spins its beak as it hits Zubat, Butterfree and Pidgeotto dealing heavy damage especially to Butterfree since the move is super effective. Raticate fires its Hyper beam at the group Ash and Misty quickly call their commands as Bulbasaur fires a move as well.
"Use Thunderbolt!" "Seel use Ice Beam!" Ash and Misty call Pikachu and Starmie shoot the stream of electricity at the hyper beam, Seel fires the beam of ice while Bulbasaur fires a Razor leaf the moves collide and they successfully stop the beam creating an explosion. Grunts 1 & 2 then call for a command.
"Golbat use Screech!" Grunts 1 & 2 call the two-giant bat Pokémon let out a loud screech greatly decreasing the defense of the groups Pokémon as Cassidy speaks.
"Fearow use Drill Peck again!" Cassidy calls Fearow's beak begins to spin again it flies forward as Brock speaks.
"Geodude use Thunder punch!" Brock calls Geodude covers its right fist in electricity shoots forward and collides with Fearow. The two mons begin to try and push their opponent away, but it seems that they're both are even as Brock speaks.
"Zubat use Poison Fang" Brock calls Zubat covers its teeth in poison and quickly goes to help Geodude as Cassidy speaks.
"Knock that bat away with Wing Attack!" Cassidy calls Fearow nods as it quickly slaps Brock's Zubat with its right wing making it crash on the ground knocked out. The group have surprised looks on their faces as Brock then returns Zubat to its Pokeball Cassidy then calls for her next command.
"Now Fearow use Steel Wing!" Cassidy calls Fearow's wings glow brightly in steel energy as Fearow goes to slam both wings at Geodude Brock speaks.
"Geodude dodge!" Brock yells as Geodude manages to quickly dodge the attack by descending back to the ground and goes next to Sandshrew as Brock speaks.
"Man, I wasn't expecting these guys to be good" Brock says with annoyance as Misty speaks.
"Yeah, they're way stronger than Jessie, James and Meowth" Misty says as Ash speaks.
"Even though we have the number advantage they are still finding ways to corner us we need to think of something" Ash says while gritting his teeth with Misty and Brock nodding a Cassidy speaks.
"If you kids aren't going to attack then we will Raticate begin charging another Hyper Beam and make it stronger than the last one we're ending this battle" Cassidy says Raticate nods as it begins to charge its strongest Hyper Beam Brock calls for his commands.
"We won't let you Sandshrew use Dig and Geodude use Rock Polish to stop Raticate!" Brock yells as Sandshrew digs underground and Geodude raises its speed it quickly begins to roll very quickly towards Raticate as Ash and Misty speak.
"Use Quick Attack!" Ash and Misty yell as Pikachu and Vaporeon quickly dash forward to try and stop Raticate. Cassidy along with Grunt's 1 & 2 smile as they call for a command.
"Use Whirlwind!" Cassidy and the two grunts yell as they summon a large wind that blows away the groups Pokémon back to them even Sandshrew who was underground the group look on in horror as Raticate finishes charging up the Hyper Beam Cassidy smiles and speaks.
"Now Fire!" Cassidy yells, Raticate fires the beam its heading straight towards the group and there's nothing that they can do. Seel, Starmie, Pidgeotto and Butterfree try to go help but are stopped by Grimer, Fearow and the two Golbat's. Cleflable looks on in horror as it wants to go and help but can't it then feels a hand on its shoulder it turns around and sees Melanie.
"Go save your friends, you've protected us enough" Melanie says with Clefable nodding as she quickly dashes forward hoping to make it in time.
The group and Bulbasaur look on in horror as the beam is getting closer Bulbasaur closes its eyes thinking that it's the end. it waits for the beam to hit but nothing happens it then opens its eyes and sees Magikarp, Sandshrew and Vaporeon doing their best to hold the beam in place while Pikachu and Geodude charge forward and using Iron Tail and Thunder Punch respectively. Pikachu and Geodue successfully hit Raticate stopping the Hyper Beam and finally knocking out the large rat surprising the TR members and their Pokémon. This in turn gives the groups other mons an opening to attack Starmie and Butterfree use a double Psychic on the Golbat knocking them out, Pidgeotto uses Quick Attack and Seel uses Aqua jet on Grimer knocking it out as well Fearow then flies in the air to get away but its then blindsided when a big Moonblast that crashes into its face knocking the giant bird out of the sky as it lands in front of Cassidy's feet. The group turn around and see Clefable who is done helping Melanie and the other sick Pokémon its now here to help battle Ash and his friends smile while Cassidy glows red in anger.
"HOW COULD OUR POKEMON LOSE?! THEY WHERE MUCH STRONGER THAN YOURS!" Cassidy yells with Butch and the 2 other grunts looking angry as well Ash gets up and speaks.
"You may have stronger Pokémon but the bond with our Pokémon is much stronger than yours!" Ash says with a determined look Misty and Brock nod while their Pokémon stand next to them and give a loud cheer (Zubat and Onix wriggle in their Pokeballs in agreement). Bulbasaur looks at Ash and the other Pokémon it thinks so this is a bond between a trainer and Pokémon Bulbasaur smiles and joins in the cheer with the other Pokémon as well making Ash happy as Cassidy speaks.
"Even still you can't beat us yet as we still have these two captured" Cassidy smiles while pointing at the 2 grunts holding the caged Pidgey and Weepinbell. Cassidy's Fearow opens its eyes and flies back into the air ready to continue the battle as Butch speaks.
"So, what now brats?!" Butch asks with a smirk as Brock yells.
"Sandshrew now!" Brock yells as Sandshrew jumps out of the ground behind the two grunts knocking them out and breaking the cages the Pokémon were in setting them free the Pidgey and Weepinbell follow Sandshrew into the hole Cassidy and Butch are flabbergasted.
"HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING?!" They both scream while scratching their heads furiously as Ash speaks.
"Hey, focus on the battle!" Ash yells Cassidy and Butch turn around and have scared looks on their faces as they see the groups Pokémon are charging their attacks (Bulbasuar as well). When their Pokémon are done charging the 3 trainers' yell.
"FIRE!" Ash, Misty, and Brock yell as all their Pokémon fire their moves and combine becoming one giant beam that engulfs Fearow causing the bird to crash into Cassidy, Butch and the 2 unconscious rocket grunts causing all of them to fly in the air screaming.
"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE LAST OF US YOU BRATS!" Cassidy and Butch scream as they fly across the land not to be seen. Ash, Misty, and Brock smile and speak.
"ALRIGHT!" Ash, Misty, and Brock cheer as do their Pokémon with Bulbasaur joining in as well it also surprisingly jumps into Ash's arms surprising everyone. Bulbasaur then sees what it's done and gets a blush on its face with everyone smiling Melanie and the other Pokémon run to the group to congratulate them. Meanwhile still hidden deep in the bushes the TR trio give a cheer as well but make sure that it's not too loud.
2 hours passed since Cassidy and What's his face attacked the hidden village during this time Brock learned a lot from Melanie on how to care for Pokémon while Ash and Misty were playing with their Pokémon, the ones in the village, along with Bulbasaur and Oddish. They also contacted Officer Jenny the officer announced that they'll be looking more into Team Rocket after that it was time for the group to leave Melanie looks at the 3 trainers and speaks.
"It was great having you here thank you for helping us" Melanie says with a bow as Ash speaks.
"No problem" Ash says with a smile, Misty with Misty smiling too, Brock is crying as he doesn't want to leave yet. Bulbasaur also looks sad that the group is leaving it wants to go with them, but it also wants to stay and protect the village it doesn't know what to do, Melanie notices this she gets an idea and speaks to Ash.
"Ash will you please take Bulbasaur on your journey with you?" Melanie suggests with Ash and Bulbasaur looking at her surprised as Ash speaks.
"But I thought you said we're not allowed to catch any Pokémon here?" Ash asks as Melanie speaks.
"Yes, that is true, but I feel it would be best for you to take Bulbasaur along with you it's been a great help in this village, but I don't think it'll be able to live up to its full potential if it stays here and I'm sure Bulbasaur feels the same way" Melanie responds as with Ash nodding. Ash bends down, he looks at Bulbasaur and speaks.
"Do you really want to come with us Bulbasaur?" Ash asks, Bulbasaur doesn't hesitate it smiles nodding in agreement it then gets into a battle stance. Ash smiles, he turns his hat backwards with Pikachu jumping off Ash's shoulder and sparking its cheeks ready to battle as Ash speaks.
"Alright Bulbasaur hear we come; Pikachu use Quick Attack!" Ash commands as Pikachu dashes forth at a blinding speed hitting Bulbasaur in the head doing some damage but Bulbasaur counters with Razor Leaf knocking Pikachu back as Ash speaks.
"Use Agility!" Ash commands as Pikachu starts running around Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur then fires out a vine whip successfully grabbing Pikachu, but this is just what Ash wanted.
"Now use Thunderbolt!" Ash yells Pikachu fires the electric bolt as the electricity flows down Bulbasaur's vines shocking the Pokémon and knocking it down. Ash then quickly pulls out a Pokeball and goes to throw it.
"Go Pokeball!" Ash yells as he throws the ball forward and successfully hits Bulbasaur. The plant dinosaur is sucked inside, and the ball begins to shake. The shakes 3 times until it dings confirming to Ash that the capture is a success Ash runs to the Pokeball he grabs it smiles and yells.
"I Just Caught a Bulbasaur!" "Pi Pikachu!" Ash and Pikachu yell doing their pose causing everyone to smile. After that it's finally time for the group to go as Melanie speaks.
"Please take good care of Bulbasaur Ash" Melanie says with Ash nodding saying that he will as Misty speaks.
"Will the village be alright without Bulbasaur?" Misty asks Melanie smiles and looks down at Oddish.
"Yes, it will after witnessing the battle today it gave the other Pokémon motivation to train and become stronger so that they can protect the village" Melanie responds with Oddish giving a "Odd" in confirmation making Misty smile. With that the group and Bulbasaur say their goodbyes to Melanie along with the Pokémon there and head off to continue their journey.
Meanwhile with Cassidy, Butch and the 2 grunts who are still unconscious they dial a number and call their boss. When Giovanni appears on screen unlike with Jessie, James and Meowth Giovanni is facing them and wants to hear their report.
"So, Cassidy and Boop did you succeed or fail?" Giovanni asks sternly Butch was going to correct Giovanni that his name isn't Boop but stops himself as Cassidy speaks.
"No, we failed sir" Cassidy says in disappointment with Giovanni a little bit surprised.
"Really now you two mostly succeed in your missions flawlessly how did you fail?" Giovanni asks curiously as Butch speaks.
"We lost to a boy using a Pikachu and his friends sir" Butch responds when Giovanni hears that he smiles.
"So he's getting stronger" Giovanni thinks to himself as he looks back at Cassidy and Butch.
"You two did well come back to headquarters immediately there's a certain Project I think you two need to know about" Giovanni says as he turns off the phone making Cassidy and Butch confused, they were expecting to get chewed out by the boss but that didn't happen they shrug their shoulders pick up their 2 unconscious members and begin to heading back to headquarters.
2 days have passed since the group left the Hidden Village. The group is walking on the road with Ash marching in front of Brock and Misty and is singing to himself happy that he now finally has 6 Pokémon. As he continues walking, he steps on something that sucks his foot in he and the rest of the group look until they all fall into a pit trap and land on the ground hard. They all groan in pain as Ash speaks.
"Ah my back Misty get your butt off me" Ash says in annoyance, Misty quickly gets off Ash as Brock speaks.
"Ah I landed on my head" Brock says while rubbing his head while Pikachu landed on Brocks back. Misty then gets mad and speaks.
"Aaah! not another trap" Misty says in an annoyed tone as Brock speaks.
"It must've been a prank" Brock says as Ash speaks.
"But who would do this and why?" Ash asks as he soon gets his answer as the group hear what sounds like Pokémon laughing, they look up and see 5 blue turtle Pokémon (all wearing sunglasses) surprising the group as they speak.
"SQURTILE?!" The group yell as the Squirtle continue to laugh Ash then speaks.
"Are you the ones that pulled this prank if so, it's not funny" Ash says as the Squirtle continue to laugh but stop when they hear police sirens. The Squirtle then run away leaving the group stuck in the hole the sirens stop as an Officer Jenny appears and looks down in the hole.
"Are you kids alright?!" Officer Jenny asks the group responds with a yes Jenny then gets a rope from her car and safely pulls the gang out of the hole. When they're out of the hole Ash and Misty thank her while Brock gently grabs Jenny's hand and speaks.
"Thank you, Officer Jenny, my dear you really saved us, and I would greatly appreciate it if you'd go on a date with me" Brock says with hearts in his eyes making Jenny uncomfortable Misty then grabs him by the ear and pulls him away.
"I think Jenny would rather want to be saved from you instead" Misty says as she pulls the sad Brock away as Ash laughs, he then looks at the officer and speaks.
"What's with those Squirtle Officer Jenny?" Ash asks with Brock and Misty appearing behind to listen.
"Well, you see after those Squirtle were abandoned by their trainers they decided to form a gang that goes around pranking on humans they're called the Squirtle Squad" Jenny says shocking the group as Misty speaks.
"People can be so cruel" Misty says in anger with Ash and Brock agreeing as Jenny speaks.
"Well, I better be going now you kids stay safe" Jenny says as she drives away leaving the gang behind to go after the Squirtle's. The group then continues to walk with sad looks on their faces.
Meanwhile with the Squirtle they've successfully pranked another person by putting graffiti on his house and run away laughing. The leader Squirtle also stole some food they then find a clearing and begin to eat. As they're eating the leader notices the same kids from earlier and gets an idea but before that a large Raticate approaches them the large rat has something around its neck that looks like a speaker out if it comes a woman's voice. We now come to the gang, they're sitting in the grass next to the river relaxing while Ash is in deep thought and speaks.
"Man, I feel sorry for those Squirtle" Ash says in a sad tone with Misty and Brock agreeing as Misty speaks.
"Yeah, I just don't understand why someone would abandon their Pokémon do they not feel anything for leaving them behind?" Misty asks as Brock speaks.
"Unfortunately, that's just how some people are Misty" Brock responds with Ash and Misty nodding. As they continue to relax, they then hear something coming from the water. The 3 trainers and Pikachu walk over to the water (leaving their bags behind). When they make it one of the Squirtle from earlier jumps out of the water and lands on a lily pad surprising the gang as Ash speaks.
"Hey, you're the Squirtle from earlier we were just thinking about you" Ash says with a smile as Squirtle points to Pikachu. Ash notices then speaks.
"Are you saying you want to battle?" Ash asks with Squirtle nodding. Ash along with Pikachu get excited as Brock speaks.
"Be careful Ash this might be another one of its tricks" Brock warns with Ash nodding.
"Even if it is I'll never back away from a battle let's go Pikachu use Quick Attack!" Ash calls Pikachu nods as it dashes forward and hits Squirtle in the stomach knocking the blue turtle in the water. Ash then notices his error Pikachu is now floating above the lake and falls.
"Oh no! Pikachu get out of the lake!" Ash yells. Pikachu begins to swim back as fast as it can but it's not a good swimmer. Misty and Brock hear rustling behind them and turn around they get surprised looks on their faces when they see the rest of the Squirtle's stealing their back packs making the two kids yell.
"Hey give those back!" Misty and Brock yell as they go to chase after the Squirtle Ash turns around to see what happened and feels dumb that he let Squirtle trick him he then hears Pikachu scream.
"PIKA!" Pikachu screams making Ash turn around to see that Pikachu was poisoned by a Tentacool and is starting to sink. Ash without hesitating immediately jumps in the water and begins to swim toward Pikachu/ Misty and Brock turn around as well as they see Ash jump in the lake going to save Pikachu. They stop chasing the Squirtle and immediately go to help Ash and Pikachu.
The leader Squirtle now with its gang quickly celebrate that the plan went well but something doesn't feel right they're happy the plan went off without a hitch, but they didn't want the trainers Pikachu to get poisoned and sink they watch as they see Ash quickly reach Pikachu.
"Don't worry buddy we'll get you some medicine soon" Ash says while holding Pikachu his eyes then grow wide in fear as a big Seaking appears and is heading towards them.
"It must be mad that we've entered its territory" Ash thinks to himself as the Seaking gets closer Ash looks back and sees Brock and Misty still on land Misty is about to bring out her water Pokémon to save Ash and Pikachu but is surprised when Ash throws Pikachu towards them and yells.
"Catch Pikachu!" Ash yells as Brock successfully catches the yellow mouse, he notices its condition and gets worried.
"We need to get it some medicine and fast" Brock says with Misty nodding when they turn around and see the Squirtle Squad there holding rope.
Meanwhile, with Ash he's swimming as fast as he can back to where Misty and Brock are, but the Seaking catches up to Ash and sends him up in the air. Ash then comes crashing down on land landing on his butt he groans in pain then looks up and sees Misty and Brock tied up in rope with the leader Squirtle standing over him with a smile. Ash gets mad and speaks.
"Hey what do you think you're doing?!" Ash asks as he then hears a voice.
"We meet again brat" A woman speaks Ash turns around as he hears a familiar voice and sees a Raticate wearing a speaker. Ash gets a surprised look on his face and yells.
"CASSIDY!" Ash yells in anger as the speaker on Raticate's neck speaks.
"Cassidy? who's Cassidy? I'm Raticate" the voice says as Raticate nods its head as Ash speaks.
"Don't play dumb with me I recognize that voice your Raticate is wearing a speaker if your Raticate can truly talk to humans it wouldn't need it" Ash says the leader Squirtle looks at Raticate and starts to get suspicious making Raticate worried as the speaker speaks.
"Come on Squirtle who are you going to believe your fellow Pokemon or a human brat?" The voice says with Raticate giving a pleading look in its eyes for Squirtle to believe it. While it's true Squirtle would rather trust another Pokémon than a human, but this human risked its life to save its partner Squirtle then begins to think hard. As Squirtle is thinking Ash looks over and sees that Pikachu is in a cage and is still poisoned he gets a worried look on his face then looks at Squrtile.
"Squirtle please let me go to town to buy medicine for Pikachu" Ash asks with a worried look Squirtle looks at him as the voice speaks.
"Don't believe him Squirtle humans are liars the moment you allow him to go he'll never return" The voice says as Ash speaks.
"Please Squirtle you can trust me I know I'll come back" Ash asks again Squirtle looks deep into Ash's eyes it doesn't see a hint of Ash being distrustful and looks genuinely worried for his Pokémon. Squirtle thinks for a few seconds then makes his decision.
"Squirt" Squirtle nods his head in approval allowing Ash to go surprising the other Squirtle and Raticate making Ash happy as he speaks.
"Thank you Squirtle I'll be back in an hour" Ash says as he quickly runs to town. Brock and Misty look on at Ash leaving and hope he comes back soon.
20 minutes have passed, and Ash is still running as fast as he can during these 20 minutes, he's tripped fell down a cliff and was chased by a horde of angry Beedrill. But none of that stopped him he kept running he then sees the town finally come into view he smiles and quickly runs to the medicine store he's about to open the door but the door immediately opens hitting Ash in the face causing him to pass out on the left side of the entrance the one that opened the door was Gary he didn't notice that he hit something he continues to walk.
Another 20 minutes pass and Ash finally wakes up remembering what he needs to do he quickly heads straight inside the store once he enters everyone in the store are on edge and the place looks damaged as an old man speaks.
"Are you with Team Rocket?" An old man asks while hiding behind a cash register as Ash speaks.
"No, I'm Ash besides would Team Rocket have children work in their organization?" Ash asks and everyone in the store shake their heads quickly realizing how foolish they were being as the old man speaks.
"I'm sorry son about 10 minutes ago a woman with blonde hair named Cassidy and a man with teal hair named Ben came and tried to destroy all of our medicine" The old man says surprising Ash as he speaks.
"So does this mean you don't have any more healing medicine for poison?" Ash asks with a worried expression as the old man smiles.
"Thankfully we still have some it was hidden in a special place that those two couldn't get to" The old man says making Ash smile. The old man then gives Ash the medicine as he speaks.
"Thank you, sir," Ash says as he quickly runs out of the store and begins running in the direction his friends are.
18 minutes have passed surprisingly the trip back was a lot smoother Ash reaches the spot where everyone was, but his eyes grow wide in horror when he sees that they aren't there. Ash then begins to panic.
"Pikachu! Misty! Brock! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Ash yells until he hears a voice.
"Ash" a familiar voice rings in Ash's ear he turns around to see Misty, Brock, Squirtle and Pikachu. Ash gets a smile on his face and speaks.
"Guys you're okay" Ash says happily with his friends nodding as Misty speaks.
"Of course, we're okay but it's nice to see how worried you were" Misty says with a smile as Brock speaks.
"Did you get the medicine?" Brock asks Ash nods and shows that he got it. Brock, Misty and even the Squirtle smile. The leader Squirtle commands his gang to untie the humans, Ash hands Brock the medicine as Brock quickly goes and applies it to Pikachu. After a few moments Pikachu feels a lot better everyone is happy, but the moment is then ruined when the voice on Raticate's speaker speaks.
"That darn old man got us" This time a man's voice comes out of the speaker causing the Squirtle to get suspicious.
"Darn it March the speaker was still on now they know we're lying!" Cassidy's voice shouts as Butch speaks.
"My name is Butch not March get it right!" Butch yells as Cassidy speaks.
"Sigh anyway Raticate use Super fang on that brat" Cassidy calls as Raticate quickly jumps in the air and is going to land its teeth on Ash, but it's stopped when the leader Squirtle uses Water Gun on Raticate knocking it back making Ash smile.
"You Squirtle dare get in our way!" Cassidy yells from the speaker as the leader Squirtle speaks.
"Squirt!" The leader Squirtle yells saying Yes with the other members agreeing as Cassidy speaks.
"Fine then have it your way Fearow use Hyper Beam!" Cassidy calls, Raticate runs away as Fearow appears and fires a Hyper Beam. The group quickly dodge as when the Hyper Beam hits the ground it causes a fire to start surprising the group. Cassidy and Butch also make themselves known as they are in a hot air balloon with the face of a Raticate on it. Fearow goes to fire another Hyper Beam as Brock yells.
"Let's get out of here!" Brock yells as he Ash (holding Pikachu), Misty and the Squirtle Squad run away heading inside a nearby cave but the leader Squirtle trips falling on its back, Ash notices he hands Pikachu to Misty and quickly heads out to save Squirtle as Misty and Brock speak.
"Ash!" "Pika PI!" Misty, Brock, and Pikachu yell as they see the boy running to Squirtle.
"Hang on Squirtle I'm on my way!" Ash yells while dodging the fire and Fearow's Hyper Beams Squirtle's eye's glow wide as he sees Ash running to him getting closer. Ash then finally makes it to where Squirtle is he's about to pick the blue turtle up but notices a Hyper Beam coming straight at him Ash yells and closes his eyes preparing himself, but Squirtle won't allow this to happen as it yells.
"SQUIRT!" Squirtle yells as it jumps from the ground and safely pushes Ash out of the way. Squirtle then picks Ash up and starts running towards the cave where everyone else is. It dodges every Hyper Beam and safely jumps into the cave. Squirtle and Ash fall on the ground after giving a few huffs the two look at each other and smile as Ash speaks.
"Thank you Squirtle I went to save you, but you ended up saving me" Ash says with a smile with Squirtle smiling as well as Misty speaks.
"Sorry to ruin the happy moment but there's a huge fire outside" Misty says as Ash and Squirtle get up they look outside seeing the blazing fire Ash then looks at Squirtle.
"Squirtle, will you help us in taking down Team Rocket and stopping this fire?!" Ash asks with Squirtle nodding in agreement Ash smiles he looks back at everyone else and sees that they're ready too. Everyone quickly runs out of the cave with Ash, Misty and Brock sending out their Pokémon to stop the fire.
"Use Hydro Pump!" Ash and Misty yell as Vaporeon and Magikarp fire a combined Hydro Pump that clears most of the fire.
"Way to go!" Ash and Misty say with Magikarp and Vaporeon looking back happily. Brock then gives his Pokémon a command.
"Onix, Geodude, and Sandshrew use Sandstorm!" Brock commands as his ground types summon a big sandstorm that begins to clear the fire as well. At this time Officer Jenny appears and sees the kids from earlier putting out the fire. She's even more surprised that the Squirtle Squad are helping as well. Meanwhile in their hot air balloon Cassidy and Butch have angry looks on their faces as Cassidy speaks.
"Uh! Those darn kids Fearow use Hyper Beam on that brat with the Pikachu!" Cassidy yells as Fearow fires the beam at Ash but it's stopped thanks to Pikachu using Thunderbolt while riding on Pidgeotto (Butterfree and Zubat are with them as well). Cassidy then calls for a command.
"Fearow use Drill Peck!" Cassidy yells it heads for the 4 mons and begins to spin its beak as Ash speaks.
"Butterfree dodge and use Sleep Powder!" Ash commands Buttterfree along with Pidgeotto and Zubat dodge Fearow's attack. Butterfree fires a sleepy power that successfully puts Fearow to sleep the big bird then falls on the ground landing on Cassidy's Raticate knocking the rat out as Cassidy speaks.
"Wake up you dumb bird!" Cassidy yells as Ash speaks.
"Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Ash commands as Pikachu fires the bolt of lightning destroying Cassidy and Butch's balloon causing them to fall on the sleeping Fearow and unconscious Raticate.
"Ow" they both say as they groan in pain, they then see Officer Jenny and a few more Police Officers standing above them as Jenny speaks.
"Cassidy and James of Team Rocket you're under arrest!" Jenny says as she handcuffs both of them and puts them in a police car as Butch speaks.
"My names Butch not James don't ever call me that loser's name again!" Butch yells in anger with Jenny not caring as Cassidy speaks.
"Oh, Shut up Butch!" Cassidy says in annoyance. Butch is about say something but smiles and is happy that Cassidy got his name right the police car then drives away taking them to prison. Once that happens it's a lot easier for the gang and the Squirtle Squad to extinguish the fire. When the fire is gone everyone lets out a loud cheer, they were able to defeat Cassidy and Butch and stop the fire.
20 minutes have passed Officer Jenny and the Squirtle Squad (wearing jackets) are on a stage in the middle of town. Jenny stands next to them and speaks.
"I would like to announce our new firefighting unit the Squirtle Squad!" Jenny says with everyone cheering and clapping their hands. Ash, Misty, and Brock are there as well and are happy for the Squirtle making the blue turtles happy. The party is great, there's food, dancing, pretty girls Brock is mostly excited about that and quickly runs over to them. Misty lets out a sigh and just lets Brock have fun. Ash and leader Squirtle are sitting next to each other eating some food as Ash begins to talk.
"You know Squirtle I'm hoping you and the rest of your squad do well as firefighters" Ash says with a smile as Squirtle smiles back. But it then begins to think if this is really what it wants to do or would it be best to travel with Ash and his friends. Squirtle then wonders that if it does leave how would the rest of the Squirtle Squad feel? Squirtle continues to think to himself as the other members of the Squirtle Squad look at their leader.
It's now nighttime, the party is over everyone is sleeping except for the Squirtle Squad they are up talking about how great it is and that they don't have to continue pulling pranks or struggle to get by anymore. The leader nods its head in agreement, it then gets a serious/sad look with the other members doing the same they know their leader well and can feel something is troubling it. The leader begins to tell them that it doesn't want to be a firefighter it wants to travel with Ash, his friends and to one day become a powerful Blastoise. When the leader says that it looks at its comrades expecting them to be mad at it instead, they all smile. They tell their leader that they knew the moment that trainer saved their leader and showcasing his drive to save his Pikachu that it would want to go with him. They all approve of their leader's decision making the leader Squirtle happy as they all hug each other before going to bed.
It's now the next day Officer Jenny and the Squirtle squad are at the gate of the town to say their goodbyes to Ash and his friends.
"Thank you for saving this town children" Jenny says as she and the Squirtle Squad salute them.
"You're welcome!" Ash responds smiling with Misty and Brock smiling as well.
"Well, it's been fun take care" Ash says as he's about to walk out of the town something grabs his leg. He looks down and sees that it's the leader of the Squirtle Squad. Ash along with Pikachu, Misty, and Brock are wondering what the blue turtle wants as Jenny speaks.
"Ash, will you take Squirtle with you on your journey" Jenny asks surprising the young boy as Ash speaks.
"Are you sure but what about your friends?" Ash asks as Jenny speaks.
"Last night Squirtle already said its goodbyes to the rest of the Squad" Jenny responds with the other Squirtle's nodding Ash then looks at the leader Squirtle and speaks.
"Just so you know my dream is to be a Pokémon Master it's going to be a long and hard journey facing many powerful Pokémon and trainers do you still want to come with me?" Ash asks with a serious look as Squirtle speaks.
"Squirt!" Squirtle responds back with a determined look on its face telling Ash its ready making Ash smile as he pulls out a Pokeball.
"Alright! Let's do our best together Squirtle go Pokeball!" Ash says as he taps the ball on Squirtle's head sucking the turtle inside. The ball shakes one time until it dings confirming Ash's capture making the boy happy as he speaks.
"I just caught a Squirtle!" "Pi Pikachu" Ash and Pikachu say while doing their pose. Ash then sees Squirtle's Pokeball disappear from his hand surprising him as he speaks.
"Hey what happened to Squirtle's Pokeball?" Ash asks with a worried look on his face as Brock speaks.
"It's okay Ash now that you have six Pokémon when you capture 7 or more, they transfer back to whoever you got your Pokedex from" Brock says with Ash having a relieved look on his face.
"Thanks Brock I forgot about that can you guys wait a few seconds? I need to make a transfer" Ash asks with Brock and Misty nodding Ash smiles as he and Pikachu run to the medicine store since it's the only place that has a transfer system. Thankfully it wasn't destroyed Ash dials the number the phone rings a few times until someone answers it's not Oak but instead it's his granddaughter Daisy.
"Hello this is Daisy Oak Granddaughter to Professor Oak who am I speaking-" Daisy was about to finish but gets a smile on her face when she sees Ash.
"Ash how have you've been?! I haven't spoken to you since you left on your journey" Daisy says in a happy voice as Ash speaks.
"Hi Ms. Daisy, I've been doing great so far I have 2 badges and I'm currently on my way to get my third one also where's Professor Oak?" Ash says as Daisy speaks.
"Whoa that's amazing Ash so I'm guessing the reason why you've called is because you want to make a transfer with your Squirtle who just recently got here (She show's Ash Squirtle's Pokeball) as for my grandpa he's currently with your mom and Leaf's mom buying groceries" Daisy responds with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"Yes, I would like to make a transfer, but I don't know who to send over there" Ash says he begins to think on which Pokémon to send over Daisy speaks.
"Hmmm how about your Butterfree both Leaf and Gary each have a Butterfree here and I would love to see how different it is from those two" Daisy suggests Ash gives it some thought but ultimately agrees he grabs Butterfree's Pokeball then speaks.
"See you later Butterfree I hope you get along with Leaf and Gary's Butterfree" Ash says with Butterfree's Pokeball wriggling understanding Ash's decision and it'll also train hard as well. A couple seconds later both Ash and Daisy put the Pokeball's on the transfer the balls glow and disappear before reappearing again, Daisy grabs the Pokeball throws it and out comes Ash's Butterfree Ash does the same and brings out Squirtle the blue turtle is happy and immediately jumps into Ash's arms hugging him with Ash doing the same as Daisy speaks.
"As you can see Ash, I have Butterfree here the transfer was a success" Daisy says as Butterfree looks at the computer waving at Ash, Pikachu and Squirtle making the 3 happy as Ash speaks.
"Thank you, Daisy Squirtle is here too safe, and sound" Ash says with a smile as Squirtle looks at the screen. As Ash's about to end the phone call Daisy speaks.
"Oh, Ash before we end the call is there anything you want me to tell your mother?" Daisy asks as Ash speaks.
"Yeah, tell her I'm doing great" Ash says while raising his fist in the air with Pikachu and Squirtle doing the same Daisy then let's out a small chuckle.
"Hehehe you remind me of your father when you do that my dad would tell me stories of Mr. Ketchum raising his fist in the air to let his friends and family know that he's okay" Daisy says with Ash nodding.
"Yeah, my mom would tell me that too and when I was younger, I would sometimes see my dad do it whenever he called us on the phone" Ash says with Daisy nodding as she speaks.
"Alright Ash if you see Leaf or Gary again tell them I said hi, I'll tell your mom that you're doing great, and I hope your journey continues to be fun" Daisy says smiling with Ash nodding as he speaks.
"I will and thank you Ms. Daisy" Ash says as both he and Daisy end the call. When the phone call is over Ash speaks.
"Now let's go meet up with Misty and Brock and say goodbye to your friends" Ash says while looking at Squirtle, the blue turtle nods as they leave the medicine store and make it to the exit where everyone else is still waiting for them. They all say their goodbyes to each other with Squirtle giving his gang one more hug as they all go their separate ways. Meanwhile, in the prison Cassidy and Butch are in. The two adults are different cells beside each other as Butch speaks.
"So how long until you think until the boss gets us out of here?" Butch asks as Cassidy speaks.
"I'm not sure after we learned the plan and immediately tried to steal those kids Pokémon only to fail again. I wouldn't be surprised if he just lets us rot in here." Cassidy responds with Butch agreeing they then see a guard walk over to them and open their cells. Cassidy and Butch have surprised looks on their faces as Butch speaks.
"What's going on here? we've only been in prison for a day" Butch asks the guard speaks.
"Shut up you've made bail" The guard says as Cassidy and Butch look at each other in confusion. They follow the guard outside and glow red in anger when they see the people, they really didn't want to see. It's Jessie, James dressed in stupid Mom and dad disguises as Jessie speaks.
"Oh, Cassidy dear I'm so happy to see you" Jessie says in a motherly tone giving Cassidy a hug making Cassidy angry as James walks over to Butch.
"Ben my boy it's been too long I will not let a member of our family stay in the slammer" James says in a fatherly tone placing a hand on Butch's shoulder.
"It's Butch" Butch whispers in anger as Meowth speaks.
"Hey, it's time to go!" Meowth says while dressed as the driver the four adults then get into the car and drive off as the guard speaks.
"What a weird family" The guard says while scratching his head and goes back inside. 10 minutes later back in the car the 4 adults have been sitting in silence until Cassidy looks at Jessie, James and Meowth then speaks.
"You fools can take the disguises off now we're already far away from the police station these windows are also tinted so no one can see inside anyway" Cassidy says in annoyance Jesse, James and Meowth wanted to wear the costumes longer but agree they take them off and reveal themselves as Butch speaks.
"I can't believe that guard couldn't recognize you idiots with such obvious disguises. Also were you able to get our Pokémon back?" Butch asks as James hands Cassidy and Butch their Pokeballs. The two adults put the balls back on their belts as Cassidy speaks.
"So did the boss order you to bail us out? since I doubt you three have the money to do so" Cassidy asks in a mocking tone making Jessie a little annoyed at last comment but calms herself down and speaks.
"Well since you so badly want to know yes, the boss wanted us to bail you out after you got defeated by that kid and his friends so easily" Jessie responds in a mocking tone as well making Cassidy angry the two women begin to glare at each other as James speaks.
"Now, now before you two fight the other reason is that the boss wants as many Rocket members as possible for the SS. Anne, Celadon City and Saffron City missions" James says with Cassidy and Butch nodding in understanding as Butch speaks.
"So, what are you three going to be doing then?" Butch asks as Jessie speaks.
"Hmph, wouldn't you like to know the boss gave us a "secret mission" that I doubt you two know" Jessie says while flipping her hair unbeknownst to the trio they do know the trios mission Giovanni told them after what happened in the Hidden Village this confirms to Cassidy and Butch that the boss is still keeping them in the dark which they're both happy about as Cassidy speaks.
"So, we're on our way to headquarters then?" Cassidy asks as James speaks.
"Yes, so you two can learn about the SS. Anne, Celadon City and Saffron City missions we'll just drop you off and go back to our current mission. The boss told us that we don't need to know since we're elites" James responds confidently (he lied when he says that the boss called them elites). Cassidy and Butch nod as Butch speaks.
"So how long until we get to the base?" Butch asks as Meowth speaks.
"No need to ask since we're already here" Meowth responds as they all look forward and see a big building with a giant R in the middle come into view. Meowth drives to the entrance dropping off Cassidy and Butch they walk out of the car and enter the building the trio then drive off to go continue keeping tabs on the twerps.
Cassidy and Butch take the elevator to the top floor they enter a large room they see 4 people with authority being the executives, a scientist with a brown mustache and brown hair, Matori and standing next to her is Giovanni he turns around and smiles when he sees Cassidy and Butch.
"Tell me what you learned from your encounter with Ash Ketchum?" Giovanni asks as Cassidy speaks.
"He may be a beginner but after beating us two times me and Butch here consider him a threat to our organization" Cassidy says also getting Butch's name right making Butch happy. Giovanni nods then speaks.
"I see I do agree that as he continues to get stronger just like his father, he'll give our organization trouble" Giovanni responds as a man with green hair speaks.
"Then shouldn't we crush him now sir since he's weak right now?" A man with green hair asks as Giovanni speaks.
"If it were that simple Proton I would've done it already, besides if we do that his father and his friends will surely come and defeat us" Giovanni responds making Proton nod as Giovanni continues.
"Besides while the boy continues to get stronger, we'll train and get stronger as well that's why I'm having those 3 idiots gather as much information on Ash and little his friends as they can so whenever he does end up battling me or any of you, we'll be ready to not only crush him but also his father and anyone else associated with him" Giovanni says with everyone else in the room agreeing Matori then speaks
"Now then let's go over the mission for the SS. Anne operation again Archer, Petrel as well as some other rocket grunts will enter the tournament to possibly win the prize, scout which Pokémon we should steal and if Ash Ketchum or any of his friends enter your mission is to crush them not holding anything back (Archer and Petral smile at this). Cassidy and Jon will hand out tickets to strong trainers In the Vermillion city area to have them enter" Matori says Butch is a little annoyed that she got his name wrong but keeps it to himself as Matori continues.
"Arianna you are going to be stationed in Celadon City and run our base there while managing a team to take over the Ghost tower in Lavender town well need to catch as many ghosts/dark type Pokémon as we can if Mewtwo decides to go against us" Matori says with Arianna nodding as Matori continues.
"Professor Nanba will still continue on Project Mewtwo as planned" Matori announces with the scientist nodding.
"Meanwhile boss Giovanni, me, my Matori Matrix and Proton will take over Saffron City's Silph Co. and continue the research on the Master ball. That's the report, does anyone have any questions?" Matori says and asks, as Butch raises his hand Matori looks and nods for him to speak.
"How do you plan to deal with Sabrina in Saffron city sir? she always has that city under surveillance" Butch asks with Giovanni answering.
"Ah that's a great question Bill you see Professor Nanba has figured out a way to make ourselves invisible to Sabrina's Psychic energy, so she won't notice us taking over the company" Giovanni responds as he turns to Nanba to answer.
"Yes, even though Mewtwo has just awakened this will be a great test for its Psychic powers we'll use its Psychic powers to make us invisible making us like any other citizen in Saffron City she won't notice us since she'll think of us as regular citizens. Also, if she does somehow figure out that we've taken over the building we can have Mewtwo control her mind" Professor Nanba responds with Butch nodding his head in understanding. As the executive's, Nanba, Cassidy, and Butch are about to leave Giovanni speaks.
"Oh, before you all leave to begin your missions Proton how's that boy doing?" Giovanni asks with Proton giving an evil smile.
"Well, he hasn't reached his breaking point yet, but I feel he's getting close" Proton responds while smiling and Giovanni nodding.
We now cut away from the Rocket base and come to somewhere on route 24. We hear the sounds of a battle we zoom in as we see Damian and his very tired Charmander going against Paul and his not so tired Turtwig. Damian looks at the fire lizard and calls for a command.
"Come on Charmander try using Flamethrower!" Damian calls Charmander tries to fire the move but coughs as it hasn't mastered it yet Paul then speaks.
"Talk about pathetic Turtwig finish this battle with a Razor Leaf" Paul commands as Turtwig shoots the sharp leaf's hitting Charmander and knocking it out. Damian has a surprised look on his face and falls on his knees as he can't believe he lost.
"Why? I was so close Why?" Damian thinks to himself as Paul walks over to him.
"I'll admit you're strong and could've defeated me if you used another fire type instead later" Paul says as he returns Turtwig to its Pokeball and walks away leaving Damian in despair as he plays Paul's words to him in his head.
"If only I had another fire type or a stronger Charmander I would've won" Damian thinks to himself as Charmander gets up and walks over to Damian disappointed that it lost Damian pats the fire lizard on the head and giving it a fake reassuring smile Charmander doesn't notice this. Damian then sees a nearby rock, he gets an idea, looks back at Charmander and speaks.
"Hey Charmander, there's something I want you to do for me" Damian says with an evil look on his face with Charmander noticing but doesn't think much about it and will listen to its trainer.
It's been 1 week since Ash caught Squirtle and sent Cassidy and Butch in prison the group are still on their way to Vermillion City and are currently lost.
"AHHHHHH! it feels like we've been in this forest for 10 days I want to reach Vermillion City already!" Misty yells in frustration as Brock speaks.
"Um Misty it looks like there's a bug on your leg" Brock says causing Misty to scream and jump on Ash as Brock laughs.
"Hahahaha I'm just kidding it was just a stick" Brock says while laughing making Misty mad as she kicks Brock in the face causing Brock to let go of the map and fall down as Ash catches it.
"Hey, look Misty once we pass route 24 will finally make it to Vermillion City" Ash says with Misty getting excited.
"Alright then let's go!" Misty says happily she picks up her backpack and runs forward but then stops when she sees something on a rock.
"Hey guys look" Misty says as Ash and Brock walk over. We they get close enough they get a surprised look on their faces when they see a small fire lizard on a rock.
"IT'S A CHARMANDER!" The group says as Charmander looks at them.
