Kanto Saga
Chapter 30
The Ninja Poké-Showdown! Ash vs Koga.
After passing through the mountains in Route 15 and a relaxing night at the Hot Springs, our heroes travel toward their next adventure and at last arrived at Fuchsia City, A town where many people and Pokémon gather. And it's also home to the glorious Safari Zone, the place to where rare wild Pokémon roam free to do whatever they please. Ash and the gang are amazed by the setting of the City as they approached the entrance to the city. Ash is also exited to win his next Gym Badge.
"We made it." Ash awed
"Pika!"
"Fuchsia City!" Usagi cheered
"It's so beautiful here." Makoto said
Ami was looking to her Kanto/Johto Regions guide book for a map. "If I'm not mistaken, the Fuchsia City Pokémon Center is right around the corner next to the Fuchsia Gym and the Fuchsia Hotel." She spoke looking at her guide book. "and when we're done with the Gym we can also visit the Pokémon Zoo which is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone."
"And we can also visit the Safari Zone afterwards." Rei suggested "We should rent a hotel room for all of us to stay at before we do anything besides getting our Pokémon healed."
"Maybe we can all have a picnic at the Pokémon Zoo." Usagi giggled
"Well, we gotta train Ash if we want him to win the sixth Kanto Gym Badge." Makoto smiled "But first, we should get to the Pokémon Center to heal up our Pokémon. Good thing I made a great breakfast for everyone to get a heads start."
"Rai Raichu!"
"Ami, thanks again for helping me out with my fears of getting in the hot spring with you and the girls." Ash thanked
"Pikachu."
"Your welcome, Ashy." Ami smiled and giggled "I guess we helped each other out and faced our fears. I'm less cautious about wearing a bikini on the beach and your less cautious of bathing with us when we're wearing towels."
"Pichu."
"Come on, let's get to the Pokémon Center!" Naru called
Everyone agreed and they are walked down the city sidewalk and towards the Fuchsia City Pokémon Center that's close to the Gym. Unknown to them while they are walking a Shiny Female Eevee has appeared from the bushes and spots our heroes and is taking a liking towards Ash and her eyes sparkled and follows the gang while trying to lay low.
The gang arrived at the Fuchsia City Pokémon Center the girls went first on getting their Pokémon healed starting with Ami all the way to Minako and after they're done, Ash went up next and waited for a few minutes, and when his Pokémon are done healing, Ash went up to the counter and thanked Nurse Joy.
"Thank you, Nurse Joy." Ash thanked
"Pika Pi."
"You're welcome, Ash." Joy smiled "And yes, I'm the cousin of the Joy back in Saffron City. And the one from Celadon is engaged."
"Hey, Ash!" Makoto called "I don't want to interrupt, but We should call Mrs. Ketchum and tell her where we are."
"Sure thing, Mako." Ash replied and he bided farewell to Nurse Joy and he went over to the Video Phone and sat to the chair and decided to call Delia and tell her where he as well as the girls are at (and leave out the part where he sacrificed himself even though he survived because of the Rainbow Wing protecting him from harm)
"Ok Girls, Ready?" Ash said
"Ready." The girls agreed
"Chu."
"Should we tell her about the Golden Sword of Justice?" Minako asked curiously
"Maybe." Ash replied
Everyone got Ready and Ash turned on the Video Phone and Ash is getting ready to make a call and the girls, and the three electric mouse Pokémon gathered as well, he makes the call and they see Delia's smiling face and they greeted her, next to her is Ikuko Tsukino and Professor Oak.
"Hi, Honey, Hi, girls, Hi Pikachu." Delia greeted
"Hi, Mom, Hi, Mrs. Tsukino, Hi, Professor Oak." Ash said
"Hi, Mom, Hi Professor Oak!" Usagi greeted
"Hi, Mrs. Ketchum!" The girls greeted
"Pikachu."
"How are things, Everyone?" Delia asked
"They went great, mom we've passed through the mountain in Route 15 and we made it in Fuchsia City in a nick of time." Ash explained
"It took your father 7 days to get there and Fuchsia is home to the wonderful Safari Zone." Delia smiled "How was I lucky to have a wonder son like you?"
"You've been really lucky Mrs. Ketchum." Usagi smiled
"Ash, it's been a while and it seems like you've been calling your mother on the phone every time you reach a city or a town." Ikuko greeted "I've been worried that my daughter might give you trouble."
"That's because she wants to know where we are and I don't want her to get worried about us." Ash replied "Usagi is doing very find and hasn't given me any trouble at all."
"Pika."
"Ash, are you doing your laundry every day?" Delia asked
"Yes, Mrs. Ketchum." Ami answered for Ash "Usagi, Ash, Erika and I folded them every time it's done."
"And he's been brushing his teeth every day, and eating healthy and cooking with Us when it's time for dinner." Makoto added
"And I've been helping the girls whenever they needed it the most." Ash said
Delia and Ikuko nodices a Pokémon Egg in Chibiusa's arms.
"Chibiusa, what is that Egg in your arms?" Ikuko asked "It's very big."
"Aren't you to young to have a Pokémon Egg by you?" Delia asked
"I found it while it was abandoned." Chibiusa said "I feel really bad that nobody came to get it so I decided that I would take good care of it."
"That's really sweet of you Chibiusa." She smiled
"Greetings Ash, I see that you and the girls made it to Fuchsia City and got 5 badges." Professor Oak greeted
"Yep." Ash replied showing his 5 badges and the Girls except for Erika did the same "and we're about to win our 6th gym badge when we battle the Gym Leader that is."
Oak looked below to see the Legendary Golden Sword and is stunned. "Ash! You wielded the Legendary Golden Sword with the rainbow handle? It has been sealed in the stone for 50 years in Route 15!" He gasped
"Oh my heavens!" Ikuko cried
"Oh my! My son is strong enough to wield it!?" Delia gasped "I can't believe that my son would wield something so heavy!"
"Yes. I was strong enough and have to the courage to do so." Ash replied while thinking back that he wielded it by accident
"Pika."
"And we all saw him do it and Gary said wasn't strong enough to draw it out since it." Makoto added
"Well, since you wielded Ash, and my grandson didn't it is now yours." Oak said "and if you come back to Pallet when you and your friends win the Volcano Badge I'll find some research about the legendary Sword I'll show it to you all."
After a few minutes of talking to Delia, Ikuko and Professor Oak on the Video Phone, the gang headed out of the Pokémon Center and unknown to them Shiny Eevee watched over them like a hawk and sees the headed to the hotel and wants to follow them but doesn't want to get caught by them.
Ash, Pikachu and the girls all arrived at the Fuchsia City hotel to stay for the night and trying to learn about the Legendary Golden Sword that Ash wielded yesterday and Usagi and Minako are amazed by the size of the building as they all entered inside. It kinda looked like the one from Saffron City.
"Oh my goodness!" Usagi awed "This hotel is just as big as the one in Saffron City! Everything is so shiny and clean!"
"I know! There's even marble and royalty in the lobby I can hardly contain myself!" Minako giggled "and most of the people are wearing kimonos!"
"Now, now, settle down girls." Ami smoothed "We're here to check into a room for a few nights since we're staying in Fuchsia City for a few days."
"Yeah, please lower your voice, you two." Ash said "this is embarrassing, we're in public."
"Pika."
"Why did you insist on brining so many snacks, Usagi?" Rei groaned "We're having dinner down at the dinning part of the Hotel, and it's not like you two are going to eat them all for dessert anyway."
"Ah, you are all party poopers!" Usagi moaned "We're having a slumber party when we're done with dinner right?"
"Yeah, that's why me and Usagi managed to get the best flavors of Ice Cream in all of the city." Minako assured "We're going to stuff our faces, right guys?"
"Usagi, Minako!" Makoto scolded "We can party later. Right now Ash has to check us into a big hotel room and me and him as got some training to do for the gym battle."
"Raichu."
"Yeah, so I can't lose focus and I want to make you girls proud." Ash said shaking his head of embarrassment.
Then Ash looked at Minako holding his Legendary Golden Sword with the Rainbow handle and so did the other girls and the gang was dumbfounded by her.
"Uh, hey guys? Can I ask you something?" Minako asked "Do I look to suspicious carrying Ash's Golden Sword around since he gave it to me? I don't want to get stopped by the guards."
"Uh, yeah you look suspicious!" The gang groaned
"Pika Pikachu!"
"Aw, come on!" Minako groaned like a child
Ash sighed and went up to the front desk while Minako held the sword behind her back and he requested a Hotel Room for four nights, the Manager accepted and gave Ash a room key that says 204 which is a luxury room since he is very lucky and so the gang heads upstairs in the elevator and Minako and Usagi try their best to hide the sword while trying not to get caught by the guards.
Upstairs, the gang reached Room 204 and Ash unlocked the door with his room key and the gang entered the room and the two blondes and the group were amazed by the setting on the room, it has a kitchen, two big beds, a television, a couch, a huge bathroom with a big bathtub and a two windows, one is the whole view of the City and one is a view of the beach that leads to the Seafoam Islands by the sea.
"Wow! This Hotel room is luxurious!" Usagi awed "Ash, you were so lucky to get this."
"Thanks girls." Ash thanked "it's the least I can do, Usagi why don't you put the ice cream in the freezer?"
"Ok!" Usagi agreed happily as she went to the freezer to put the Ice Cream away
"Ok Minako, Whatever you do. Don't drop my sword." Ash warned
"Chu."
Minako tripped onto something and she is about to fall and she held the Golden Sword up high and she kept a balance and took a very deep breath in relief as she didn't drop the sword.
"Whew! That was a close one!" Minako sighed on relief I almost dropped it."
"He careful, Minako." Erika scolded "We don't want the sword to break."
"Yeah, Minako!" Artemis said "You've gotta watch where your going."
Everyone gathered around and Ami took off her backpack and she dug up inside it and she took out a rare Diamond that unknown to them, she found that said Diamond in the rock tunnel while Ash caught the Shiny Primeape at one point, the bluenette then spoke.
"Everyone, this is a Diamond, the hardest natural substance on Earth. Even it's name comes from the Greek word for 'unbreakable'." Ami said and sets the diamond on a pillow "I found it while we're at the rock tunnel when Ash caught the shiny Primeape." Then she turned to the blonde "Ok, Minako, now I want you to hit it with the Golden Sword."
"Sure, leave it to me!" Minako smiled
"This should be good." Naru said
Minako walked over to the Diamond and pointed the sword on top of the Diamond. She then raised it up high and tapped the Diamond with the sword hard and it causes it to crack and break into a billion pieces causing everyone to jump excluding Ami. Ash and Pikachu were stunned of what the sword is capable of.
"Oh no, Minako!" Usagi gasped "You broke the diamond Ami found!"
"Holy Crap! My sword is really powerful enough to be indestructible!" Ash cried "it even is powerful to break a diamond!"
"Chaa!!!"
"What did I do?!" Minako asked and immediately apologized "I didn't mean to! I'm so sorry Ami!"
Ami giggled and calmed down the frantic blonde with the red bow and explained of what she was able to study on Ash's Legendary Golden Sword.
"It's ok, don't worry about it, Minako." She smoothed "This is what I thought would happen. However it didn't just break. It's the hardest stone on earth and it shattered into little pieces."
"Wow, Ami." Ash awed "I think I withdraw a powerful sword. But how did you the diamond was going to break and my sword as this powerful, Lovely Bookworm?"
"Pika?"
"Well Ash, The Golden Sword with the rainbow handle that Ash drew from the stone back in Route 15, a rock from the moon I saved and the Rainbow Wing are composed of very strong elements not found here. The difference is when Ash's Rainbow Wing that was glowing along with this sword powers it up to be even more stronger than any other sword in the universe." She explained
"More powerful than any other sword?" Usagi asked
"But didn't Prince Satoshi say it was a legendary Golden Sword?" Makoto asked
"Yes, but I suspect that the Golden Sword and the Sacred Sword were turned the Moon Kingdom into Toxic stone and I never expected this sword to survive and be sealed into the earth in the Kanto Region for 50 years." She continued as she placed her hand onto Ash's shoulder as he seems a bit down that Satoshi was never there when the Moon Kingdom was back up and running.
"I was able to defeat the enemy and got the Moon Kingdom back up and Running." Usagi smiled "and I got this feeling that we remembered a Loyal Prince that has the princesses that he loved with all of his heart and would do anything to protect everyone."
"The Moon Castle." Ash murmured "Damn it sound very familiar to me." And he turned to the Bluenette "Too bad Prince Satoshi was alone in space drifting off, and was never seen again but still living. Until my memories are staring to rewaken the more my Rainbow Wing glows."
"Pika."
"Ashy, as soon as we get to Ho-Oh you'll be able to get your past memories back in no time." Ami smoothed as Ash wrapped his arms around her for a hug and she hugged back "In the meantime, why don't you train with Mako? We have to get you ready for the next gym. and he used poison type Pokémon. So Ground types are the best option."
"Thank you Ami, thank you girls." Ash thanked
"Come on, Ash let's go find somewhere that we can train you to win the 6th gym!" Makoto smiled while patting Ash on the back.
"Hopefully it's at a plain." Ash said "You know Mako, your the best coach I ever met at not only training me for my gym battles, but cooking too."
Makoto then blushed. "Thank you, Ash I'm glad that I was able to get to know you." She said with a giggled "You know, your starting to become a mature man overtime."
Ash, Pikachu, the moon cats and the girls all head out of the Hotel room and out of the hotel they all head to Route 18 and to where the Biking Bridge is and they head to a plain with tall grass to start training. Shiny Eevee watches as the gang heads to the Plain and follows them.
Out on the plains of Route 18, Ash and Makoto begin their training session, with Pikachu and Cubone out, Ash's Squirtle (Who is getting ready to evolve soon) and Bulbasaur are with the girl's watching over the young man and the tall busty brunette with a ponytail get their training on, Minako decided to join in by sending out her Nidorina and Shiny Beedrill since they are both poison type Pokémon, Minako mostly begged if she can help Ash train, and he accepted Makoto spoke to the young man.
"Ready, Ash?" She asked
"Ready!" He replied and tuned to the blonde "Hey, Minako! You ready over there?"
"Pika?"
Before they can begin training, three familiar girls walked in on the three and see that Ash is training for the next gym.
"Hey, did we miss anything?" Haruka greeted
"Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna!" Ash said
"Pika, Chu, Pika."
"What are you three doing here?" Makoto asked curiously
"We wanted to see Mr. Ketchum battle, and I see he's training with 2 of the girls." Michiru said "May we sit with you girls?"
"Sure!" Usagi happily agreed "The more the merrier!"
"The last time we met is in the Route 15 hot springs while Ash drew out the Legendary Golden Sword." Setsuna said while she sat next to Usagi.
"While they're training, we need to know about that Sword." Haruka said
While Ami explained to Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna about the Sword and how it's powerful just as powerful as the Silver Crystal, Ash, Makoto and Minako began training.
"Nidorina, Use Venoshock!" Minako commanded
"Quick, Ash counter it!" Makoto shouted
"Cubone, Use Bonemerang!" Ash commaned
Nidorina fires multiple globs of green liquid at Cubone, but he deflects it with his bone and He throws the bone that it is holding. The bone hits Nidorina which takes twice the damage and then the Blonde turned to her Beedrill.
"Beedrill, use Poison Jab!" She commanded
"Pikachu, Iron Tail!" Ash commaned
"Pika! Chuuu… Pika!"
Minako's shiny Beedrill's two needles turned purple and lunged at Pikachu, then Pikachu's tail glows white and turns into iron and it hits the twin needle Bee Pokémon and their attacks collided again, and again, and again. Pikachu's attack landed on Beedrill, Shiny Eevee was watching our heroes from the bushes and she was amazed by Ash's bravery.
After training for a few hours, Cubone suddenly starts glowing and he's getting ready to evolve which Makoto, Minako, Ash, Pikachu, Raichu and the girls were caught off guard.
"C-Cubone!" Ash gasped "You're Evolving!"
"He's not a baby anymore.." Rei murmured
Cubone is now evolved into Marowak. a bipedal Pokémon with light brown skin and a cream-colored underside. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot make up its toes. It has a short tail with a small spike near the tip. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. It can no longer remove the skull, which has become part of its body. The skull has two pointed spikes on the back similar to ears and tiny nostrils on the tip of the snout. Marowak's triangular, brown eyes are also located in the skull. Marowak is well known for ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden graveyard.
"He's now a Marowak!" Ami awed
"Yay!" Usagi cheered
"We'll I gotta say, the kid did it and he sure cares about his Pokémon." Haruka smiled
"Marowak! You evolved!" Ash cheered "All that training was well worth it, huh?"
"Pika Pikachu!"
Marowak cheered as he is now stronger and he learned Bone Rush as a signature move. And after training, Ash, Pikachu, Makoto and Minako (Who called back her Pokémon) all headed back to the girls and they went back to the hotel after a hard day of training. Jessie, James and Meowth overheard the discussion that Ami had with Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna about the Legendary Golden Sword from the bushes as they want it more than ever as it was just as powerful as the Legendary Silver Crystal.
Back at the hotel, Ash chose a table for 13 and Pikachu, Raichu and Pichu were sitting by their best friends and Luna and Artemis sat next to Chibiusa who is holding her Pokémon Egg, then Ash was sitting next to Usagi and Ami, who Haruka spoke to the young man about the sword that he drew a day ago.
"So Ash, the sword you drew a day ago holds a very sacred power when it along with your Rainbow Wing glows." She said "We're good listeners."
"Yeah, from what Ami said, The Rainbow Wing that was glowing along with this sword powers it up to be even more stronger than any other sword in the universe." Ash said "and I mustn't let it fall into the wrong hands. If I do terrible chaos will come."
"Our memories of meeting a prince that looks like you is beginning to awaken, and sooner or later your lovers will be there." Michiru smiled "However there's no need to rush when it comes to love, Your true loves will come to you, and I'm very sure they'll be lucky to have the sweetest guy and very gentle."
Ami, Usagi, Minako, Makoto, Rei, Naru and Erika looked at Michiru while being a bit flustered as the bluenette remembers what Ash told him who his dream girl is, and even Ash can hear a beautiful violin playing and He thought.
"Man, I can't believe that my past life I had lovers and I could do an aura sphere buy lifting up my Sword." He thought to himself "I thought that no other human can do that but me. and when I first danced with Ami, I feel like that i've seen her in the Silver Millennium and not just her but the other girls too."
Ami then looked at the young man with a worried look on her face that he feels hurt or something. "Ash, are you ok?" She asked "You seem very distracted."
"Oh! Uh… I'm ok, Ami I was just daydreaming that's all." Ash giggled then he took a breath "I was thinking about the first time we danced together, but not just you, but also Usagi, Mako, Rei and Minako. Too bad I wasn't able to dance with Erika or Naru."
"Aw… Ashy you're so romantic." Ami giggled and blushed "And one day you'll dance with Erika and Naru."
"Yeah, when you danced with Mako, she kissed you on your cheek for the first time." Usagi happily pointed out
"You loved my dress one time." Makoto smiled "Even saying it looks the best on me."
"You even let me and Mako cuddle up with you and I couldn't stop hugging you." Rei added
"I'm glad to hang out with you girls." Ash giggled
"Pika."
When their food got here they dinned on their dinner and when Ash payed for the dinner they head back to the hotel room 204 to spend the night. Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna joined our heroes sleep in a separate bed and Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu and the moon cats all sleep on a huge cat bed and after dessert, they all head to bed with Both groups sleeping in 2 beds and all of them went fest asleep.
The next day Ash, Pikachu, the girls, Raichu, Pichu and the moon cats all arrive at the Fuchsia City Gym which is based on an old-fashioned Japanese mansion and a Dojo that's much different than the Pokémon Dojo at Saffron City, with Shiny Eevee seeing this as well. And Ash decided to bring his Golden Sword and keep it by him to not let it fall into the wrong hands.
"This is the Fuchsia Gym." Ash said "Our sixth Gym Battle has arrived."
"Chaa."
"This is amazing!" Usagi awed
"This Mansion that's very similar to a mansion from the Samurai-Ninja era." Ami said as the gang entered the courtyard. "I heard that it has some multiple Gardens including roses."
"Very delightful, Ami." Michiru smiled "However this gym is filled with with booby traps, including invisible walls, turning and collapsing walls that will lead to those said Gardens."
"Well, Looks like we have to be cautious." Makoto said and she and Usagi held Ash's handsSo the gang enters the Mansion since the Gym Leader forgot to lock the door, at the same time, Vedonat watches our heroes enter the building from the trees and Shiny Eevee watches them as well. Ash, Usagi and Makoto calls to see if anyone's home, but no answer. Rei then called
"Pardon the intrusion, but where can we find the Gym leader?" Rei said and wondered "I wonder if anyone's here."
"Things aren't always what they seem, as you all are going to find out as I did." Ami thought "I really don't think we should just barge in like this."
"Pichu.."
"Maybe whoever owned this mansion moved out?" Naru asked
"We'll I guess we should just go…" Minako said while she leans against a wall
When she leaned against a wall, she suddenly falls through it, as it's actually a trap revolving door the blonde then yelps in pain as the trap door is still opened and the girls and the young man turned to see the blonde rubbing her back in pain.
"Makoto?" Ash asked "are you ok?"
"Pika?"
Minako then pouted "If by 'Ok' meaning leaning against a wall that I felt it was a trap door then yes, I am ok. what kind of crazy place is this?"
"Minako's right, this is a trick wall." Ami examines "When you touch this wall, it opens. Michiru was right, this place isn't normal."
"I guess I should've watched where I was leaning." Minako laughed nervously
"Pika…"
"Your telling me." Luna said.
Suddenly, our heroes hear something coming by, the gang stood their guard, Minako however jumped onto Ash's arms and he held her bridal style as she of worried that it was a ghost coming, however they see of of the same Pokémon that was watching them, and that is an insectoid Pokémon with a spherical body covered in purple fur. The fur releases a toxic liquid and it spreads when shaken violently off their bodies. A pink pincer-like mouth with two teeth, stubby forepaws, and a pair of two-toed feet are visible through its fur. Its limbs are light tan. There is also a pair of white antennae sprouting from the top of its head. However, the most prominent feature on its face are its large, red compound eyes. It's highly developed eyes act as radar units and can shoot powerful beams.
"Wow, it's a Venonat. It's cute." Ami awed
"Yeah, Venonat is a cutie pie!" Usagi giggled
Ash got his PokéDex out for his pocket on his Jacket while holding Minako in his arms and opens it up and analyzed the Venonat with it's radar, then info came up and it says: "Venonat, a insect Pokémon. Due to it's eyes functioning as a radar, it is capable of moving around even in the dark."
"Oh, this seems an intriguing Pokémon and a cool one at that." Ash said then he realized that he's holding Minako who she is blushing as much as he is, except she is smiling at him.
"Ashy, i didn't know you wanted to hold on to me like this." She giggled as she laid her head onto Ash's shoulder then she realized she jumped into his arms "Oh, uh, sorry that I jumped."
Ash then sat the blonde down gently and suddenly, The Venonat then walks past Minako and away through the door and further into the house. The others came out of the room at the same time.
"Hey, wait up!" Ash called "Where's the Gym leader of this building?"
"Pika!"
"And who do you belong to?" Usagi called then she see the Pokémon stop by another hallway "Guys I think we should follow it, and see where it leads."
"Yeah, then we'll see who gets to lay traps next time!" Minako shouted
Ash and The other girls sighed at the two blondes in embarrassment.
"She has a point. It must know it's way around the place so we might get lost trying to follow it." Ami said and she turned to her Baby Pokémon "Pichu, I want you to lead the way with Luna and follow the Venonat, for me. Ok?"
"Pichu!"
Pichu then licks Ami's cheek "Aw, that tickles." She giggled
The little yellow baby Pokémon then lead the way and followed the Venonat, which the gang followed Pichu, which who also entered in was the Shiny Eevee and still laid low, in the hallway, the gang and Pichu chased the Venonat in a flash, Ash senses something nearby and he and the girls stop except for one Blonde.
"Something is nearby and it doesn't look to friendly…" Ash sensed
"Why did you all stop?! We're going to lose both Pichu and Venonat if we don't kick it…" Minako protested
"Minako, wait! There's something…" Ash warned
"AAAAHHHHH!!!" Minako screamed
But it was too late, Minako didn't listen she then gets electrocuted by some electric type Pokémon and she screamed in pain which made Ash sigh in embarrassment as Minako fell over and she yelled at Pikachu
"Pikachu, why did you have to go and shock me when I didn't do anything stupid?!" Minako snapped
"Chu chu!"
"Pikachu was following us and he didn't attempt it, either." Ash pointed out
"Wait, if that wasn't Pikachu or Raichu then who…" Minako awkwardly said
"Everyone, Look!" Haruka cried "and get back!"
Sure enough, the culprit who were hiding in the floor are spherical Pokémon that resembles a Poké Ball with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse.
"V-Voltorb!" Artemis stuttered "Doesn't look too friendly!"
Ash once again got his PokéDex out for his pocket on his Jacket while and opens it up and analyzed the Voltorb with it's radar, then info came up and it says: "Voltorb, the identity of this creature is unknown. It uses Electric moves and will even Self destruct without warning due to its desperate disposition."
"I know I want a Voltorb, but I want one that said friendly with us!" Makoto stuttered
"This mansion just keeps getting weirder." Ash said
"I think we better head upstairs!" Ami said
Soon, our heroes head up some stairs and into another floor of the mansion and continue to follow the bluenette's Pichu who is following Venonat, and they are hoping that they don't run into anymore traps.
"I wonder where'd Venonat go off to?" Usagi asked
"I saw Pichu go up here so maybe it's nearby." Ami said
Usagi sees Venonat and runs off "Hey Venonat, wait up!" She cried
"Usagi, no! Wait!" Ash shouted
Unfortunately, it was too late. Usagi ran forward, and runs into an invisible wall and it causes her to fall over as the others run towards her to see if she's alright, Usagi's eyes then water up and she begins bawling because she got hurt by an invisible wall.
"Wah! That wall hit me and I couldn't see it!" Usagi wailed "Owie!"
Ash helped Usagi up on her feet after she falls over and she pats the odango blonde on her back to calm her down as she threw her arms around the boy.
"There you go crying again." Rei scolded
Usagi immediately sapped "Rei, don't be so mean! I didn't know that wall that I couldn't see coming!"
"Usagi's right. This is an invisible wall." Haruka said while tapping on the invisible wall
Minako was freaked out because she never been in a place with invisible walls before "Guys, this place is really giving me the creeps." She whined
"I think we better leave this place while we have the opportunity." Michiru said
However, as they walk back the way they came, Minako runs into another invisible wall and then she fell over and just like Usagi did.
"Another invisible wall." Setsuna said "This could be a trap. We need to find another way out of here while we still can."
"I don't want them to take my Clefairy!" Usagi wailed
"Or my Nidorina!" Minako cired
"Setsuna's Right." Ami agreed "This is no time to panic, everyone they're must be another way out of here."
"There's gotta be another exit around here." Ash said "Maybe there's an exit somewhere…"
"Mabye through these windows?" Makoto asked while peering through the window
As Ash and Makoto peer through the window, the wall they're hanging on to tips over and everyone starts panicked that Ash and Makoto fell down somewhere.
"Ash! Mako!" The gang cried
"Pika Pi!"
"Rai Raichu!"
Everyone peers down and expecting for the worst, sees the Rose garden that Ami mentioned earlier and are relived that they're ok, Unfortunately, Makoto and Ash love roses and they looked at the roses and one another dreamy eyed and smiling as Ash spoke.
"Good thing we landed on these beautiful roses." He said dreamily "I think we found a wonderful heaven, even though we're still alive."
"These are so beautiful. I've never seen this much roses." Makoto giggled as she sniffed a rose. "I always dreamed about having an amazing rose garden like this."
"You know, Mako for a coach, you're just as gorgeous as these roses." Ash complimented
"T-That's so sweet, Ashy thank you so much." Makoto smiled while her cheeks flushed pink
The tall busty brunette with rose earrings then pulled The young man in for a hug as they both feel like they're laying in a comfy bed filled with roses and rose petals they looked at one another like they're in love, then they leaned over slowly and before they're lips are about to meet for a kiss, the Raven haired shrine maiden interrupted their moment.
"I don't want to interrupt your dream," Rei said then she raised her voice "But would you two get up?! We gotta find the Venonat and get Ash to the Gym Battle!"
They both quickly snapped out of their daydream and blushed at one another as they helped one another back up starting with Makoto and then she helped Ash up.
"U-Uh we're ok!" Ash stuttered
"We just got a little careless, whoops!" Makoto giggled nervously.
"You two shouldn't roam around carelessly like this, you two it's to dangerous!" Haruka scolded but then calmed down "You two were lucky that the rose garden broke your fall."
"And you two were about to kiss." Minako teased "Just like the way Ash and Ami were about to kiss back at the Saffron Hotel."
This made Ash, Makoto and Ami's cheeks flushed bright pink of what the Blonde mentioned as Ash and Makoto protest this.
"W-W-We're not about to kiss!" Makoto squeaked
"Y-Yeah! We were just laying on the rose bed, that's all!" Ash gulped "We're just friends!"
"I-I-It's not what you girls think!" Ami stuttered
Before Usagi was about to Join in on the teasing that she remembered Rei and Ash tried to kiss on his lips at one point, our heroes hear a door opening and see the Venonat they were following along with Ami's Pichu.
"Pi!"
"Damn it! Just what the hell are you up to?!" Ash snapped
"Just me and Usagi were about to tease Ash and Mako some more?!" Minako shouted as she runs after Venonat
As The blonde charges, Venonat jumps back through the door it came out of, and the door closes and then she sees three shuriken coming at her causing her to scream. In seconds, the projectiles hit the wall, but the others are concerned that Minako was hit as well.
"Minako!" The girls cried
"Mina!" Artemis cried
"Oh no! Minako, goddess of love!" Ash shouted in fear
"Pika!"
Everyone bursts into the room, they looked everywhere but they couldn't find Minako who just got pinned into the wall.
"Where is she?" Luna asked
"There isn't another exit, is there?" Artemis asked "Is there another mechanism?"
Suddenly, The door soon turns to reveal Minako who is pinned to the wall by multiple shuriken, to the surprise of our heroes even Artemis.
"Someone help me." She said dizzily
"Minako!" Everyone cried happily
"Thank goodness, you're safe." Ami sighed in relief
Suddenly laughter is heard as a woman descends from the rafters and in front of our heroes and that said beautiful women has a pink ninja outfit and has green hair tied to a ponytail similar to Makoto's ponytail which is a suprise to our heroes.
"Born in the darkness, living the darkness. Such is the rule of the ninja the ninja woman Aya makes her entrance." Aya introduced
"Wow… She's so elegant…." Usagi awed
"Thank you for the compliment, ma'am." Aya thanked "More importantly, did you all enjoy my greeting?"
"Throwing shuriken like that all of a sudden, isn't that a little dangerous?" Minako asked "and most of all, can anyone help me out from here, please?"
Ash then went to the blonde and helped her out and removed the shuriken from the wall, freeing her in the process
"Only for someone who's either inexperienced or in the way or another." Ami thought and then she spoke "Ma'am our apologies for suddenly barging in, but we came here for The gym battle that Ash wants to do with the gym leader."
"Very well, my brother Koga the gym leader will be here any moment." Aya said and turned to the young man "In the meantime, why don't you have a Pokémon battle with me, young man?"
"Sure, why not? I mean I gotta get warmed up by he time he gets here." Ash accepted
"Pikachu."
Our heroes are both confused as to how Aya did a request for a battle while waiting for Koga for her here as the Venonat they were following appears behind Aya's legs and are heroes were suprised as Pichu ran back to Ami.
"This Venonat informed me that a very cute young man, his Pikachu and his group of cute girls had entered the mansion." Aya smiled while petting Venonat.
"T-T-Thanks, Ma'am and I hereby accept your challenge until Koga gets here." Ash thanked and accepted and he had a thought akwardly "Why do girls like me so much?"
Soon, Ash takes his place on the battlefield from one side as he has Squirtle ready and then Aya takes place of the other side of the battlefield and she has Venonat ready to battle as the bug Pokémon ran up to the field Ami, Usagi, Naru, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Erika, Makoto, Rei, Minako, Luna, Pichu, Artemis and Raichu all watch in the background rooting for Ash.
"We shall use one Pokémon each, I'm ready anytime." Aya smiled
Ash turned his hat and sent his first Pokémon out to battle.
"Squirtle, I Choose You!" Ash called
He threw Squirtle's PokéBall and the water turtle Pokémon materializes from his PokéBall and is ready to battle Aya's Venonat as she is ready to do the first command.
"Venonat, Psybeam!" Aya commaned
The Purple Bug Pokémon shot a beam of Psychic out of his eyes and directly at Squirtle and it was a direct hit as the The attack leaves Squirtle temporarily dizzy and confused and he tried to shake it off.
"Oh Crap!" Ash cried "Hang in there, Squirtle! Now it's time to give it your Water Gun!"
Squirtle charged at Venonat and he shot out water at that Bug Pokémon as it dodges, by The Female Ninja's Command Venonat launched another Psybeam from it's eyes and Squirtle does his Water Gun again and the attacks struggle like beam struggle, but Squirtle has got the upper hand as his water Gun got stronger and stronger and the attack knocked out Venonat after the beam struggle making Aya react in shock.
"Venonat!" Aya cried
Ami referred the battle "Venonat is unable to continue, Squirtle wins! And the winners of this battle are Ash and Squirtle!" She called
"Return, Venonat." Aya recalled
Venonat returns to its Pokéball by the red beam of light as Ash congratulated his Squirtle as he did very well, Aya walked over to him and congratulated him.
"Well, young man you fight well like a ninja." Aya congratulated "You know how to treat your Pokémon with kindness and care."
"Thank you, Aya." Ash thanked
"Pika.
As she leaned over and kissed him on his cheek and made his cheeks flush the brightest of Pink, the Voltorb from earlier rolls into the room and the gang hits the deck and Voltorb does self-destruct. And in the smoke, a man appears behind Aya and scolded her
"Aya, you are still far lacking in experience." Said the man. And that man is Koga the Fuchsia City gym leader
"Elder brother, I have failed you." Aya bowed "My apologies."
"As stands, leaving this mansion shall involve performing a bout with me." Koga said and introduced "I would be Koga, the Fuchsia Gym leader."
"So you're the Fuchsia City gym leader?" Makoto asked
"I knew this place is a Gym." Ash said
"Pika."
"Well, Sensei Koga is a master of ninjutsu, and it's that mastery of the art of the ninja that allows him to be triumphant in battle." Michiru said "It looks like Ash found the right person just when he is done with his warm up."
"Did Aya just kiss Ash on his cheek?" Minako thought
The girls looked at Ash with shocked faces as he was kissed on his cheek from a Girl who he just defeated, as Minako was getting ready to make fun of him when he wins the Sixth badge until Makoto swats the blondes hand away making her Yelp in pain as Pikachu stood by Ash's side.
Meanwhile, outside, Team Rocket spots the gym from the bushes and thinking of a plan to steal Ash's Pikachu and Legendary Golden Sword and Makoto's Raichu as Team Rocket overheard about the tall Ami told the gang about the sword and how it was just as Powerful as The Legendary Silver Crystal.
"So that famous Ninja Mansion we got a word of." Said Meowth "It's also a Gym and the Twerps are in the caboose."
"By Looking at it, I just see an old-fashioned mansion. It also looks like a Japanese restaurant." James said
"Within that mansion, there are many precious poisonous Pokémon in that mansion." Jessie snickered
"We'll assault the mansion and gather a whole herd of Pokémon including Pikachu and Raichu." Mewoth giggled "and most of all We'll snag up that Legendary Golden Sword!"
"Poisonous Pokémon are positively perfect for perfidious people like us." Jessie said "and from what that Blue haired nerd said that the Golden Sword of the Frog Prince's is more stronger than any other sword in the universe and the same power as that Blonde's Silver Crystal."
"Is that right?" James asked
"Yes, now let's get a move on, you dumbasses." Meowth said
And so Team Rocket raced down the path to find a way inside the Fuchsia City Gym without being spotted and they cannot wait to get the Pokémon they wanted and get that sword for themselves and give to Giovanni.
Back at the Gym, Ash challenges Koga to a gym battle, then he is going to use Pikachu, Squirtle, Charizard and Marowak to fight him as he has a good strategy right up his sleeve and hoping the warm up with Aya and the training with Makoto and Minako were all worth it, as the girls, Moon cats and Raichu and Pichu watch in the background.
"Well, that's fine with me. We were looking for the gym leader of this gym and me and my friends are each win one of your badges." Ash said
"Very well, if you and your front were to best with me, this Soul Badge will be in your possession." Koga said "So, who will start first?"
"Ash can go first. We should go after him." Ami smiled "Do your best, Ashy."
"I hope that warm up with Aya and the training with me and Minako were all worth it!" Makoto said
"All right, it's a battle!" Ash accepted
"So, A mere child like you dares to challenge me? That very idea makes me shiver with mirth! Very well, I shall show you true terror as a ninja master! Opponents can't lay a hand on me, as poison brings their steady doom. Despair as you feel the creeping horror of Poison-type Pokémon!" Koga glared and then asked "So regarding our battle, how does 4-on-4 fare?"
"Fine with me. Here's my first, go, Charizard!" Aah said
"Then mine vanguard shall be, Vedonat!" Koga called
They both toss their PokéBalls to send them and Both Venonat and Charizard materializes from their PokéBall and since Ash's Charizard is shiny, sparkles came out of him as he roars. The girls in the background gasps as Koga has got a Venonat of his own.
"Another Venonat?" Ash asked
"Pika?"
Koga then laughed "Being that this Venonat has been attaining points of experienced, the moment should be within grasp…" he said
Venonat suddenly starts glowing and changes form, and the glow soon fades to reveal a new Pokémon Venomoth, whose body is varying shades of purple. Its head and thorax are light purple, and it has bulbous, round light blue eyes, a small mandible, and a three-point crest on its head. Tucked close to its thorax are three pairs of tiny, whitish legs. Its abdomen is paler with several black, zigzagging stripes encircling it. It has two pairs of pale purple moth-like wings with thin black venation. These wings are covered in dust-like scales that vary in color depending on their toxic capability. Dark scales are poisonous, while lighter scales can cause paralysis. These scales are released when Venomoth flutters its wings and leak out poison once they make contact with the skin.
"I-It evolved!" Haruka gasped
"She's right! That's the second time we've seen an evolution occur in battle!" Ami cried "The last time we saw a Pokémon evolve during battle and training is where Ash's Cubone evolved into Marowak!"
Ash got his PokéDex out of his pocket and opens it and he analyzed the Venomoth with it's radar, then info came up which says: "Venomoth, an evolved form of Venonat. Tiny scales on its wings supersede various spores when they are flapped."
"Woah. This might be a tough cookie to take down, but bug types are weak to fire types!" Ash said
"Pika Pikachu!"
"That's the sprit Ashy!" Ami cheered
"Pichu!"
"You got this, man!" Usagi smiled
"Eww, Venonat evolves into that?" Chibiusa said while being disgusted
"Chibiusa, that wasn't nice." Rei scolded
Koga was going to do the very first command to his newly evolved Pokémon "Venomoth, Stun Spore."
"Charizard, Flamethrower!" Ash commaned
Venomoth spreads its Stun Spore while the Shiny Fire Pokémon shot fire out his mouth, dissipated the Stun Spore effortlessly, making Koga do another attack.
"Venomoth, Psychic." Koga commaned
"Charizard, Flamethrower, again." Ash commanded
Venomoth shot a beam of Psychic out of it's eyes while Charizard shot fire from his mouth again, making the attacks collide and struggle, with Charizard's power increasing his flames became stronger and broke the beam struggle and Venomoth is out.
"Venomoth is unable to continue, Charizard is the winner!" Aya called
"Venomoth return!" Koga called at The knocked out Pokémon went back to his PokéBall as he got out the next one. "Weezing, Go."
Koga sent out Weezing and it materializes from his PokéBall and the others were shocked to see that Koga has a Wheezing like James.
"He has a Weezing just like James." He thought as he recalled his Charizard and got out another PokéBall "Marowak, go!"
Ash sent out his Marowak out to battle and he materializes from his PokéBall as He started down Wheezing.
"Looks like Ash is going to use a Ground type against a Wheezing." Haruka smiled
"It looks a little similar to James' Wheezing." Michiru murmured
"Weezing, Sludge Bomb." Koga commaned
Weezing then fires a ball of brown sludge from its mouth and directly at Marowak however the ground type Pokémon deflected it just in time as Ash is about to do the next command
"Marowak, use Bone Rush!" Ash commaned
Marowak's bone glows light blue and grows longer. And he charged at Weezing hits it with his bone and three times and he got sent flying to the wall and Because Poison Types are weak against Ground types Wheezing is out.
"Wow, looks like Ash has got this in the bag as usual." Minako said "I bet one of us gets to battle him one day!"
"I want to got first to battle Ash." Naru giggled
"Wheezing is unable to battle, Marowak is the winner!" Aya called
"Wheezing, return." Koga recalled as it w my back into the PokéBall and he sends out his 3rd Pokémon out "Golbat, go."
He tosses the PokéBall into the field and what materializes is Golbat, a large, blue, bat-like Pokémon with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit-like pupils, along with tiny triangular ears with purple insides, and a massive mouth with two fangs in each jaw. The fangs are smaller on a female Golbat. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. It has short legs with long, tiny feet. Despite this, Golbat can also walk skillfully on the ground.
"Wow, a Golbat!" Usagi awed "If Ashy brings out his Zubat, we'll help hit evolve and he'll have a Golbat of his very own!"
Ami got out her Pokémon guide book and she found Golbat and she reads the info so Ash didn't have to use his PokéDex this time.
"Golbat is the bat Pokémon, It loves to drink other creatures' blood. It's said that if it finds others of its kind going hungry, it sometimes shares the blood it's gathered." She said as she continued reading the info on her book "Its feet are tiny, but this Pokémon walks skillfully. It sneaks up on sleeping prey before sinking in its fangs and slurping up blood."
"A blood sucker, huh?" Makoto asked "Looks like we don't need any garlic for this."
Ash then recalls his Marowak back to his PokéBall and sent out his trustworthy Pokémon ever since he left Pallet Town, Pikachu.
"Pikachu, I Choose You!" Ash called
"Chu!"
Pikachu ran up to the field and faced Golbat and staring him in the eyes as he is ready to take down a flying type Pokémon.
"Well, electric type against a flying type I see?" Michiru smiled "the young man, knows type advantages more and more as he continues to travel across the world gaining tons of skills."
"What can I say? I'm impressed that he is able to battle without hesitation especially hen to going gets tough." Haruka said holing Michiru's hand "I'd like to take a crack at battling Ash one day, just to see how strong he is."
"Indeed, even without the sword he is strong at heart and cares about his Pokémon and his friends and love ones." Setsuna said
"Golbat, Fly." Koga commanded
Golbat flew up into the air and flew directly at Pikachu and it hit him but it wasn't enough to have the Yellow Pokémon go out as the Pokémon stood his ground.
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded
"Pikachu!!"
The electric type Pokémon's cheeks lit up with electricity and he shots big bolt of lighting from his cheeks and directly at the big mouthed bat Pokémon causing it to be paralyzed and it cannot move and is almost down. Makoto and Haruka see this and shouted
"He's Paralyzed, he has an opportunity to win this all in one go! Since Flying types are weak against Electric types!" Makoto cheered "Go for it, Ash!"
"Finish it!" Haruka shouted
"Right! Pikachu, Iorn Tail!" Ash called
"Pika! Chu….. Pika!"
Pikachu's tail glows white and turns into iron and it hits the Big mouth bat Pokémon and the attack sent it flying to a wall and knocking it out in the process, Aya called the battle, and Koga is in shock.
"Golbat is unable to battle! Pikachu wins!" Aya called
"Woohoo! You did it, Ash!" Makoto cheered "That warm up and training was all worth it!"
"You got this, dude!" Rei squealed happily
"Ashy, Ashy, he's our man! If he can't do it no one can!" Usagi, Minako, Chibiusa and Naru cheered
"Only one more Pokémon and Ash will win the Soul Badge!" Ami smiled
Koga recalled his Golbat to his PokéBall and he thought. "Damn, it seems like I'm underestimated him, but only one Pokémon left." Then he got out his last Pokémon "Muk, Asemble." He said
The Gym leader tosses the PokéBall to send it out to battle, and Muk materializes from his PokéBall and Ash recognized it as he has a Muk of his own back at Professor Oak's lab.
"Pikachu Return!" Ash called
"Pika!"
Pikachu ran back up to the young man and he got out Squirtle's Pokémon and is about to call it into battle "Squirtle, I Choose You!" He called
He then tosses The PokéBall to the field to send it to battle, and Squirtle materializes from his PokéBall and he is really excited to battle as he put his brave face against Muk and put his sunglasses on and said in Pokémon language 'deal with it'
"Woah, a Squirtle with sunglasses. He's got spunk." Haruka smiled
"Well, he's the leader of the Squirtle squad as they used to pull pranks on others." Ami explained "One time me and Pikachu almost died because of a wild Goldeen attacked us and the Squirtle Squad has joined Meowth and then they're now fire fighters. and if I'm not mistaken, Ash's Squirtle is going to evolve today."
"That's interesting, Ami." Michiru spoke "Once there's a gang that turns evil and they suddenly have a change of heart and become our ally from now on."
"Muk, use sludge bomb." Koga commanded
"Squirtle, Use bubble!" Ash called
The sludge Pokémon then took a deep breath and fires globs of brown sludge directly at Squirtle while at the same time the water turtle Pokémon took a deep breath and sprays a foam of bubbles from its mouth at and at Muk and their attacks collided again, and again, and again until the bubble attack landed at Muk and it tries to get up but ends up taking the fall making Koga as well as the crowd speechless, Ash had won the 6th Gym.
"Muk is unable to battle! Squirtle is the winner, which means the victor goes to Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town!" Aya called
The girls stood up cheered and Usagi, Minako and Chibiusa began jumping with Joy for Ash as well as the cats and two electric type Pokémon and they congratulated Him for his victory.
"You did it, Ash!" Makoto cheered
"You won!" Usagi cried happily
"You're sixth Gym match was a success!" Ami said
"A powerful finish and his win streak is intact!" Rei cheered
"He's got this in the bag." Chibiusa giggled
Naru then threw her arms around the boy for his victory "You we're so awesome back there, dude!" She cired
"You've done well, Young man." Michiru smiled
"You got a lot of stuff, kid." Haruka said giving Ash a pat on the back
"Thank you girls, it was a success." Ash said as he hugged Pikachu, Squirtle and Naru back
"Pikachu."
Koga was impressed as he recalled Muk "Well, I underestimated you, young man." He spoke while holding the Soul badge and walked up to him "Your Pokémon showed its full power, and demonstrated the favorite move of the ninja, multiplication. For that, you've earned this badge As gym leader, I award you with the Soul badge as proof of your victory. Congratulations." Then he and Aya bowed to Ash.
But before Ash can except the Soul Badge, he and the long raven haired shrine maiden notices something wrong with the ceiling on their left as they sensed something as the ceiling soon comes down, Shiny Eevee still hid behind the wall.
"We sensed an evil aura!" They both sensed
The dust fades to reveal a curtain, which parts to reveal three figures, two of which are holding umbrellas and sound very familiar which annoyed the gang.
"Smoothly, Smoothly, smoothly… allow us to proclaim what truth you all beseech." Jessie said "If you ask about whatever…. Then Prepare for trouble!"
"Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap, Tap!" James snickered "Make! It! Double!"
The trio revealed that they're wearing kabuki costumes as they continue their motto.
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love."
"To extend our reach to the stars above."
"Jessie."
"James."
"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now, or prepare, prepare to fight!" James finished
"Meowth! That's right!" Meowth said
"Damn it, not you three idiots again!" Ash snapped "Why do you three have to interrupt my victory every time I win a Gym Battle, huh?!"
"It's annoying that you three big is every time, what do you guys want?" Makoto demanded
"Team Rocket, will be taking all of your Pokémon that are here." Meowth said "and not only the Pokémon, your Legendary Golden Sword for it has great powers and the same power as the Bun head's Silver Crystal, now had it over!"
"Sorry, But If you think you're going to take our Pokémon and my Golden Sword, you're sadly mistaken!" Ash scolded
"Leave this place at once!" Koga demanded
Jessie and James try to walk forward, but end up tripping and falling on top of Meowth they then glared at the cat Pokémon
"Um, no matter how you look at it, it's hard to move around in these costumes!" James complained
"A ninja mansion needs a kabuki stars." Jessie said "Villains must have style, Style We have to wear these outfits!"
"If you can't move, we'll lose the Pokémon!" Meowth pointed out
"I see. Very well then let's change." Jessie sighed
Both Jessie and James change from their costumes to their usual outfits and send out their Pokémon Wheezing and Arbok to attack.
"Arbok, Weezing, go!" They both called as their Pokémon materializes from their PokéBalls
"Everyone, let us cease the bout and join forces to vanquish them!" Koga said
"Right!" Ash agreed "Pikachu…"
"Nope!" James mocked
Then before the Pokémon can attack Arbok and Weezing, James Fires a sticky net at the charging Pokémon, trapping them, Ash, Naru, Erika and the moon cats, to the other girls' shock as they got out of the way in time.
"Oh no! Ashy! Pikachu! Pichu!" Ami shouted
"Raichu!" Makoto shouted "Let our friend and Pokémon go!"
"We're not letting you get away with this!" Rei snapped
"No one can stop us this time! Now hand over the Legendary Golden Sword!" Jessie demanded
"No way, you're not getting your gross hands on this sword!" Ash said getting his sword strap out
"Pika!"
"Be a good boy, and hand over the Sword." James said
"Screw you guys!" Minako snapped
"NOW!" Meowth demanded
"You must be greedy if you think you can have it." Usagi scoffed "and your not getting my Silver Crystal either!"
Jessie then sighed and she has had enough "Very well, we'll have to take the sword by force!" She said as she turned to Arbok "Arbok, use bite on that brat and take the Sword!"
"No!" Ami and Usagi cried
"NO, DON'T DO IT!!" Haruka screamed
Shiny Eevee who is watching In the background the entire time saw Ash that he is about to get bit by Arbok, the Shiny Pokémon Finally came out of hiding and dashed between the two, before the cobra Pokémon can get the boy, Shiny Eevee leaped in and took the bite for Ash and she fell the the ground much to everyone's horror.
"Is that an Eevee?!" Minako asked
"NO! Eevee!" Ash cried as he ripped the sticky webs from him, Pikachu and Squirtle and he ran towards the injured Shiny Pokémon and picked her up gently with an antidote "Are you ok?! Please say something!"
"Pika Pika!"
Ash quickly gets the potion and is about to spray the badly injured Shiny Pokémon to heal, he then turned to the girls and spoke, "Girls, after I heal up Eevee, me, Pikachu and Squirtle will hold off Team Rocket while you get to the other room!" Ash called
"Right!" The girls agreed
Usagi and her group head to the other room to transform into the Sailor Guardians while Ash holds off Team Rocket. In the room, the Ami, Rei, Makoto, Minako, Haruka, Michiru and Setsuna all held up their transformation wands and Usagi and Chibiusa held up their brooches and all of them called out their transformation phrases.
"Moon Cosmic Power!"
"Moon Prism Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!"
"Mars Planet Power!"
"Jupiter Planet Power!"
"Venus Star Power!"
Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Pluto Planet Power!"
"Make Up!"
Transformation Sequence: Usagi
Usagi's Cosmic Heart Compact opens, revealing the pink heart-shaped crystal inside, waving her hand over it. It flashes twice and erupts in pink light. Usagi is now standing in the middle of a light blue heart that's spinning to the right. She stands one leg while holding up her arms and begins pirouetting in the opposite direction, going faster until, in a burst of light, pink ribbons envelop her torso and midsection, transforming into her leotard. She elegantly stretches out her arms, and pink ribbons cover them, forming into her gloves. She then raised her right foot high with incredible flexibility, and pink ribbons cloak it changing into her boots. The heart made of blue light then turns into a circle of sparkles swirling around her waist, forming her skirt and bow. Now no longer in light, Usagi spins around a couple of times like a ballerina, and takes a small bow. As she comes out from her bow, a crescent moon mark glows in the middle of her forehead. Then, a tiara appears bearing a gold symbol of the Moon, along with her earrings, choker, and her ordango covers. Usagi opens her eyes, her transformation now complete, and strikes her signature pose.
Transformation Sequence: Chibiusa
The Prism Heart Compact opens, revealing Chibiusa's Silver Crystal inside of it. It begins to glow pink until a heart made of light pops up from it, flipping and overtaking the screen revealing Chibiusa bathed in light with the Prism Heart Compact in the center of her chest. The compact bursts with pink ribbons that tighten and wrap around Chibiusa's body, making her leotard. Chibiusa then spins around as a red bow appears where her compact is on her chest. Pink ribbons then wrap around her legs, forming her pink boots, and around her waist, forming her skirt and red bow at the back. Her gloves materialize next, and white-bordered red circular accents on her odango appear, along with pointed white fittings resembling a rabbit's ears, a golden tiara with a red gem, a pink choker around her neck, and pink studded earrings. Her transformation now complete; Chibiusa winks and then strikes her signature pose with a crescent moon in a pink background shining brightly.
Transformation Sequence: Ami
Ami held up her hand as blue sparkles swirled around it, alighting her fingernails, turning them into a shade of bright blue. Her transformation stick appears spinning, and she takes hold of it, the star on end as well as the symbol glowing. The logo on it begins to turn, enveloping Ami in blue light. Then she sweeps the pen over her head as a stream of sparkling blue water begins to emit from it, forming her leotard, boots, and gloves. A sparkling ripple, as well as a flurry of bubbles, expands over her body, creating a small mist of water that formed the rest of her uniform the same as Sailor Moon's but the center bow, boots, and rims on the gloves were blue and bright blue. She turns around and then strikes her signature pose.
Transformation Seuence: Rei
The planet Mars appears, and Rei puts her hand up, her fingernails begin to sparkle in bright red, and her transformation wand comes to her hand spinning, now having a different design, as she takes hold of it. Her body becomes silhouetted in red as a giant pillar of fire erupts from her wand. While spinning around, the fire swirled around her body, concealing her in a cocoon and burst revealing several tongues of flame surrounding Rei's body. The flames disperse, revealing Rei in her red Sailor Uniform wearing red heels, a pair of earrings, a purple bow in front, a red ribbon in the back, gloves with red trims, and a red skirt, choker, and collar. Rei then turns around, and in the middle of her forehead, her symbol appears, and her tiara materializes. Her transformation now complete; she assumes her final pose, her symbol and planet appearing in the background against a starry sky.
Transformation Seuence: Makoto
The planet Jupiter appears, and Makoto puts her hand up, her fingernails begin to sparkle in bright green, and her transformation wand comes to her hand spinning, now having a different design. Her body now becomes silhouetted in green, as blue lightning erupted from her wand, while holding it up. As she spins around a few times, until stopping with her back turned, the lightning swirls around her, forming rings like an atom. The lightning explodes, revealing Makoto in her green Sailor Uniform wearing green boots, a pair of rose earrings, a pink bow and ribbon, gloves with green trims, and a green skirt, choker, and collar. Makoto then turns around, and in the middle of her forehead, her symbol appears, and her tiara materializes. Her transformation now complete; she assumes her final pose, her symbol and planet appearing in the background against a starry sky.
Transformation sequence: Minako.
Minako holds up her hand as golden stars swirl around it, alighting her fingernails, turning them into a shade of bright orange. Her transformation stick appears spinning, and she takes hold of it, the star on end as well as the symbol glowing. It begins to turn as Minako is enveloped in yellow light. Then she sweeps the pen over her head as banners of golden stars emit from it. Minako then holds up the pen above her head as the banners of stars form a spiral around her body. They disappear into the ground, forming a circle of stars, and burst into more stars going upwards, enveloping Minako's body. Then Minako emerges wearing the same outfit as Sailor Moon's, the center bow, boots, and rims on the gloves colored orange, her back bow, yellow, and her center bow, blue. She then opens her eyes as she struck her signature pose.
All of the guardians are now fully transformed and ready to fight and help Ash and the others.
Back at the battlefield where Koga, Aya and the other Pokémon are still trapped, Team Rocket has got Ash, Pikachu, Shiny Eeevee (who is now healed) and Squirtle all cornered to the all and Arbok and Wheezing are ready to attack and finish him off for good.
"This is your last chance, twerp! Hand over the sword!" Jessie demanded
"No way! Your not-" Ash shouted
Before Ash could finish his sentences, a familiar Moon Tiara Action has flew by and made Jessie's hand bleed and cuts the sticky nets setting Koga, Naru, Erika, Aya, the other Pokémon, Raichu, Pichu and the moon cats free, Jessie was now angered.
"Ow! Who the hell did that? Show yourself!" Jessie demanded
That said tiara's was Sailor Moon's as it went back to her and put it back on, Ash and the others are relieved to see them.
"Sailor Moon, you came!" Ash cried happily
"They've came to help us!" Naru smiled
"Team Rocket, how dare you try to comment Pokémon theft, harm an Innocent Eevee and try to steal Ash Ketchum's Sword for your evil deeds!" Sailor Moon shouted while she and the Guardians as well as Ash did their mottos

"We're not letting you have our Pokémon!" Naru snapped
"You damn Sailor Brats and the twerps keep fooling our plans, we rather fight let's take you on!" Jessie refused

"I Choose you" all of the girls called
All of their respective Pokémon materializes from their PokéBalls and are ready to battle Arbok and Wheezing, however the two Pokémon are now frightened because they believe that eleven against two isn't fair.
"Arbok, stand your ground! I don't give a damn if eleven against two isn't fair we're still going to beat you!" Jessie snapped then gulped "I think…"
"Weezing, get ready!" James said then walked over to Squirtle. "As for you, Buzz off!"
Then James kicked Squirtle making Ash and the others gasp in horror, Ash rushed to his injured Pokémon and picked him up gently.
"Oh no! Squirtle, are you ok?!" Ash asked
Suddenly Squirtle began to glow meaning it's ready to evolve, Squirtle is now Wartortle which is a bipedal, indigo Pokémon similar to a turtle. It has brown eyes, a dark blue streak on each cheek, and two sharp teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers and pointed toes. On each side of its head are feather-like ears covered in pale blue fur. A brown shell with a pale yellow underside encases its body. A thick, white rim separates the upper and lower halves of the shell. An older Wartortle may have scars and algae growing on its shell. Poking out of the bottom of the shell is a thick, wavy tail that also has light blue fur and cannot be fully withdrawn into its shell. Its tail fur will darken with age. Its tail is a popular symbol of longevity and good luck, making this Pokémon popular with the elderly.
"Wartortle, you evolved!" Ash cried then he sees the injury that James made to the back of his shell and Ash got out his PokéBall "Wartortle, come back to your PokéBall, quick!"
But the newly evolved Pokémon shook his head no and waved his finger no as he want to get revenge on James for what he did and also Jessie for trying to hurt Ash as he want to protect him with all of his life. Wartortle then faced James and Shiny Eevee watches.
"You still want to battle?" Ash asked than he understood "Go get them for me."
Wartortle gave him a thumbs up.
"Wartortle, Skull bash!" Ash commend
Wartortle runs and jumps at the opponent with its head down then becomes surrounded by a silver aura, and slams its head into Weezing and it was sent flying at James They fell to the ground and knocked out.
Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars has got a plan.
"Hey, Guys, leave this old hag to me and Mars!" Sailor Jupiter said
"Prepare to feel the power of my fire!" Sailor Mars called
"What the hell are you two trying to do now?!" Meowth demanded crossly
Ash and Sailor Mars then got out five ofudas and called upon the spirts and aimed at the three idiotic criminals.
"Evil Spirits be exorcised!" Sailor Mars cried throwing her two Ofudas at James, Mewoth and Wheezing
"Akuryo Taisan!" Ash called throwing a Ofuda at Jessie and Arbok
Then Sailor Jupiter's tiara then extended, collecting an enormous amount of lightning into it and including some from all of the electric type Pokémon from a round the world. She raised her arms above her head while spinning around, and generated a large sphere of blue lightning that grew larger as she called out her attack's name.
"Jupiter Coconut Cyclone!"
With a mighty punch of her fist, Sailor Jupiter blasted the sphere of lightning straight at the Balloon but not the combined power of Mars' new attack.
Then, flames surrounded her body while she made a sign with her hand while putting up two fingers. The flames disappeared into her fingers as she called out an attack.
"Mars Snake Fire!"
She threw out her hand, and from it, a powerful torrent of flames burst forth, taking the shape of a snake. The attack combined with Sailor Jupiter's with a Jupiter Coconut Cyclone/Mars Snake Fire combination and hit the criminals as they got sent flying
"Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Shouted the trio as the shine on the star comes
The Heroes, Koga and Aya and the Pokémon including Pikachu and Wartortle celebrates the victory of Ash, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mars.
"You did it, guys!" Sailor Moon cheered happily as she jumped for joy. "you were awesome!"
"Who knew that an Sailor Guardians attack combination can work on a Criminal organization?" Sailor Mercury smiled "and it looks Like Ash's Squirtle evolved into a Wartortle."
Koga once again got up and approached Ash "Ash, Your Pokémon showed its full power, and demonstrated the favorite move of the ninja, multiplication. For that, you've earned this badge As gym leader, I award you with the Soul badge as proof of your victory. Congratulations." Then he and Aya bowed to Him and he offered the badge which he accepted it
Ash then held the badge in his hand and razed it up high. "Yeah, I got the Soul Badge!" He cheered
"Pi Pikachu!"
"And it's a keeper too!" Ami, Usagi and Chibiusa smiled
"Only two more to go!" Makoto and Rei Cheered
Wartortle gave the group a thumbs up and he ran over to his trainer, and have him a high five for their sweet victory, Ash congratulated Wartortle for his victory and gave him some super potions to heal back up as Shiny Eevee smiled and explained to Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu and the Moon Cats of why she followed the group.
After a few moments have passed and the girls battled and won their gym badges, Rei was the last one to battle Koga and she has taken out 3 of Koga's Pokémon and he has Venomoth lest and Rei has Flareon, as Ash, Pikachu, Ami, Usagi and the other girls watch Rei battle, Shiny Eevee then nuzzles on Ash's leg.
"Eevee, what's up?" Ash asked happily
"Pika Pika Pika.. Pikachu."
"I think Eevee wants to come with you, Ashy. She likes you." Ami suggested "and since Naru and Minako have their own Eevees and we have our Eeveelutions you can have your very own."
"It will be fun." Usagi smiled
Ash got out his empty PokéBall and since he has 5 Pokémon on his party, he saves a Special spot for Eevee. "Ok, Eevee. Welcome to the party." He smiled
Shiny Eevee then pressed the button on the PokéBall and Eevee went inside and Ash caught a Shiny Eevee making it his next Shiny Pokémon and he is proud of not only Wartortle and Marowak to evolve but getting a Soul Badge and a Shiny Eevee. Rei was ready to finish off Venomoth.
"Flareon, use Flamethrower!" Rei commaned
The fire type Pokémon took a deep breath, and launches fire out of her mouth and directly At Venomoth knocking it out in the process because Bug types are weak against Fire Pokémon
"Venomoth is unable to continue, Flareon is the winner! which means the victor goes to Rei Hino!" Aya called
"I'm very impressed on how all of you did and treated your Pokémon with care and love." Koga smiled as he recalled his Venomoth. "You have demonstrated the favorite move of the ninja, multiplication for a Shrine madien. For that, you've earned this." He then gets out a Soul badge and bows "As gym leader, I award you with the Soul badge as proof of your victory. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Koga." Rei thanked as she took the badge and she recalled her Flareon.
And with that Ash, Pikachu, Raichu, Pichu, the girls and the moon cats all cheered Rei on as she was the last one to earn the 6th gym badge She smiled at everyone and she wrapped Her arms around Ash for a hug and he hugged the shrine maiden in return.

And the way can explore the City.
"Farewell, everyone and thank your for your help for getting the three criminals out of here." Koga said "We both have got a lot to learn about battle. We will now train even harder, Aya."
"Yes, brother. We shall and we will hope to meet again." Aya bowed
"I promise we will." Ash smiled
"Pika."
As our heroes walked they waved goodbye to the Gym leader and his sister who she waved at him and giggled which made the young man blush a little, Minako then sees this and gave him a silly look as he is ready to make fun of him.
"Hey, Girls did you know that Aya kissed Ash on his cheek?" Minako asked
