Pokemon: Friends to the End
Chapter 9: Setting the World on Its Buneary!
It was morning and Brock was making breakfast that involved using potatoes.
Ash and Pikachu woke up from their sleeping bag.
Denise was fast asleep in her tent with Turtwig, Eevee and Shinx, while her sister slept in her own tent with Piplup.
But then a familiar scream was heard and waking them up and a flock of Starly.
Denise groaned. "Not again."
Turtwig, Eevee and Shinx let out a yawn as they followed their trainer out of the tent.
"It's a disaster!"Dawn screeched.
"Dawn, what's wrong?"Ash asked.
Ash headed to Dawn's tent.
"Don't you dare come in here!"Dawn responded. "My hair's a complete mess, and nobody sees it!"
"Dawn, don't sweat it."Ash reminded. "Come on that's what hats are for."
"Pika pika!"Pikachu agreed.
"Well, isn't that a typical male response."Dawn retorted bitterly.
Her hair was tangled and messy.
"Ash, how I look, I take pride of my appearance."Dawn said.
"But it's just not worth it to get nuts about hair."Ash replied.
"That's your opinion!"Dawn snapped.
Denise opened her lemon soda can.
"Dawn, can you focus on fixing your hair instead of arguing with Ash?"Denise suggested.
Denise took a sip from her soda drink.
Brock glanced at Croagunk.
"See, you're witnessing a typical morning for this crazy family."Brock exclaimed with a smile while looking at Croagunk. "But you'll just get used to it."
Croagunk just croaked in response.
Then bubbles went out of Dawn's tent.
"Hey, what was that for?"Ash asked in confusion. "That's weird."
"Do you think that was to fix her bed head?"Brock asked while peeling off the last potato.
"Bonsly."Bonsly responded.
Then the potato slipped out of Brock's hand and rolled to Croagunk, who stared at it.
"Hey can you grab that for me?"Brock asked.
The Toxic Mouth Pokémon looked at the potato and at Brock with a smirk.
"Please."Brock said. "Do me a favour."
Croagunk picked up the potato and threw it into the air.
It headed straight for Ash, who backed up to catch it only to fall with Denise.
Pikachu leaped from Ash's shoulder as he caught the potato.
Two Pokémon were watching them from the bushes.
The first one looked like a brown rabbit with yellow fur and brown eyes.
The other had a white body with green hair, two flat, red horns on top of its head, a large one toward the front and a smaller one at the back.
It was a Buneary and Ralts.
Buneary's eyes shined showing that it was in love making Ralts look at her in confusion.
"Nice catch, Pikachu."Brock complimented.
Brock took the potato from Pikachu.
Ash and Denise groaned as they got up from the ground.
"Ash, would you watch where your going?"Denise scowled.
Turtwig, Eevee and Shinx rushed to Denise's side to check if she was alright.
"Um, sorry, Dennie."Ash apologised awkwardly and notice Dawn's hair "Hey, what was with the Bubble Beam in your tent, Dawn?"
"Check it out! You see it worked!"Dawn remarked happily as she twirled around as her hair waved in the air. "You like it? I just had the worse pillow head this morning, but Piplup and I sure fixed that..."
"Piplup."Piplup said proudly.
"Wow, I'm impressed."Brock admitted.
"If Eevee could learn Bubble Beam, I'm sure I would've done the same thing."Denise commented.
"Eevee."Eevee giggled.
"And it'll work on boys and girls!"Dawn stated. "So let's put Bubble Beam to good use on your pillow head, Ash."
"I'll be wearing my hat anyway."Ash reminded with a smile and putting his hands behind his neck.
At that word, Aipom stole Ash's hat and runs away with it.
"Hey! Give me my hat!"Ash demanded as he ran after Aipom. "Aipom, you know that's not funny!"
"Pika!"Pikachu snapped.
"Shinx!"Shinx called out.
Pikachu and Shinx made a chase after Aipom.
Pikachu used Quick Attack to pursue and take back Ash's hat.
Unfortunately, the hat covered Pikachu's sight as he didn't notice a motorcycle driving towards him and Shinx.
Then Buneary jumped down and saved Pikachu while Ralts used Psychic to lift Shinx out of the way.
Ash, Denise and Aipom made it in time to see Pikachu and Shinx safe.
"Pikachu, are you okay?"Ash asked.
Denise glanced at Shinx.
"What about you, Shinx?"Denise questioned.
"Shinx."Shinx responded.
Shinx nodded as he rushed to his trainer's side.
"Pikachu."Pikachu said kindly.
"Buneary, thank you."Ash thanked.
Ash took his hat back.
"Buneary."Buneary responded.
Denise's eyes went lovey-dovey at the sight of Ralts.
"Aww, aren't you the most cutest Psychic Type Pokémon I've ever seen!"Denise admitted sweetly.
Ash smiled. "It's a Ralts."
"That's a Buneary."Dawn asked.
Dawn took out her Pokédex.
"Buneary the Rabbit Pokémon."Dawn's Pokédex informed."When it senses danger, it perks its ears up and hide and when it gets cold, it curls itself to get warm."
Denise checked Ralts on her Pokédex.
"Ralts the Feeling Pokémon."Denise's Pokédex buzzed."It can use the horns on its head to read human emotions. Ralts rarely shows itself to humans but may occasionally approach whenever it senses positive feelings."
"Hey."Dawn complimented."That was awesome, when you scooped up Pikachu like that."
"And your Psychic was impressive Ralts."Denise praised.
Shinx looked at Ralts with a smile.
"Shinx."Shinx thanked.
"Ralts."Ralts said quietly.
Ralrsblushed while putting her head down.
"Pika Pika."Pikachu answered.
"Buneary!"Buneary said shyly while covering her face with her fur.
The Rabbit Pokémon bounced away, slamming into a tree before escaping.
Ralts quickly followed her friend and disappearing in a pile of bushes.
"Aw, I really wanted to catch it."Dawn said sadly.
Denise sighed."The same for me with that Ralts."
Then Shinx jumped into Denise's arms which made her smile.
The driver in the bicycle revealed to be Officer Jenny.
"You two need to be more careful, Shinx and Pikachu."Officer Jenny instructed with a frown. "It really doesn't matter where you are, you should always look both left and right before crossing the road."
"Sorry, Officer Jenny."Ash apologised. "But in my Pikachu's defence, he couldn't see because my hat covered his eyes."
"Pika pika."Pikachu responded.
"It's so great that you helped us out just like before."Dawn said kindly.
Officer Jenny grew confused by Dawn's words.
"Don't you remember me?"Dawn asked. "It's me, Dawn!"
"And I'm Dawn's twin sister, Denise."Denise responded in surprise. "How could you not recognise us?"
"You two still have a lot to learn."Brock commented.
"Dawn, Denise, there are many lots of Officer Jenny's."Brock explained.
Brock showed the three a photo on where all Officer Jennys were taken in a festival.
"Wow, look at them, they all look so alike."Denise chuckled.
"This was taken in the last country side festivals."Officer Jenny commented.
"I wish I could've been there!"Brock said with a smirk as he took Officer Jenny's hands. "But now you're here! And I'm here, too! The name's Brock and my goal other then being here with you is to become the best Pokémon Breeder ever!"
"And I'm the Officer Jenny from Jubilife City and my sister is the one from Sandgem Town."Officer Jenny explained with a smile.
"Sister?"Dawn asked in surprise. "You two must be identical twins."
Denise smiled. "Like me and my sister."
"Of course, they're not identical! Talk about rude!"Brock replied angrily and smiled lovingly again at Officer Jenny. "Its obvious the length of their hair an eyelashes is not the same not to mentioned the fragrance your wearing."
Croagunk then used Poison Jab in his stomach.
"Of course, I could be wrong."Brock groaned as he was dragged away by Croagunk.
Ash, Dawn and Denise had awkward smiles on their faces at the sight.
"Weird guy."Officer Jenny commented and looked at the trio. "Have you seen these people?"
Officer Jenny showed a picture of two disguised people and a Meowth.
"Well, I don't think we did."Denise commented.
"Last night, some people broke into a factory just up ahead and stole a lot of machine parts."Officer Jenny stated. "This picture was taken from the factory surveillance camera."
"No, they seem weird."Brock admitted.
Ash, Dawn and Denise became surprised to see Brock again.
"That was quick."Denise muttered in surprise.
"Well thanks very much for your help."Officer Jenny said with a smile.
"Sure."Ash, Dawn and Denise answered in unison.
"Pika!"Pikachu remarked.
"Shinx!"Shinx replied.
Afterwards...
The four companions had breakfast with their Pokémon.
"Mmm, so good."Denise mumbled in delight.
Denise took a bite on her second rice ball.
"You know, I've been thinking to catch that Buneary or Ralts."Ash stated.
"But, Ash, if we see that Buneary again, I want to catch it."Dawn reminded.
"And I want to catch that cute little Ralts."Denise added.
"Oh come on, I just gotta catch one of them."Ash insisted. "Maybe that Ralts will turn out to be stronger than it looks."
"But, Ash, I didn't even catch a single Pokémon yet."Dawn responded sadly.
"Come on, Dawn, you and Denise only just started."Brock commented.
Dawn became angry at Brock's words.
"EASY FOR YOU TO STAY!"Dawn shouted in anger and sadness.
"Besides the Jubilife City Contest is starting soon, so we will need to be well prepared."Denise said with a worried look.
Dawn noticed that Croagunk hasn't ate that much.
"Huh? Why don't you wanna eat any more, Croagunk?"Dawn asked.
"Maybe Croagunk just have a little stomach ache?"Ash suggested.
"No way."Brock replied. "Croagunk just like to eat it a bit as a pace."
Then Croagunk turned its attention on the bushes and made a jab towards the bush revealing Buneary and Ralts.
"It's Buneary and Ralts!"Ash, Dawn and Denise said in unison.
Buneary made a hop for it while Ralts ran fast to catch with her friend.
Ash, Dawn and Denise chased after it with their Pokemon.
"What about all the dishes?"Brock asked.
"We'll do them later!"Denise responded.
"Quick Piplup use Peck!"Dawn ordered.
Piplup made an aim towards Buneary and Ralts, but they both dodged the attack.
"Wow, that's some speed!"Ash said in surprise.
"Awsome sis!"Denise stated proudly.
"Now this is my chance!"Dawn admitted with a smile. "Okay, Piplup! Use Bubblebeam!"
Piplup blasted some bubbles at Buneary and Ralts.
But then Buneary froze the bubbles with an Ice Beam, while Ralts sent Magical Leaf at Piplup hitting it badly.
Piplup became super effected by the attack and Buneary used Dizzy Punch at Piplup making the Penguin Pokemon confuse and faint.
"Whoa was that Magical Leaf?"Denise said in surprise.
"Most Psychic types can learn Grass Type moves."Brock explained as he went up to them. "First, put Piplup in its Pokéball! Then, send it out again!"
Dawn nodded as she was about to return Piplup, only to see that Buneary finished Piplup off with another new move.
"That was Bounce!"Denise said in shock. "An impressive power!"
Dawn sighed sadly as she returned Piplup back to its pokeball. "Everything I try to do gets messed up."
"Okay, Ash, let's give them all we've got!"Denise replied confidently.
"Alright, then."Ash said with a smile and looked at Pikachu. "Ready, Pikachu?"
Pikachu nodded as he made a battle stance just like Shinx.
"Shinx!"Shinx stated confidently.
"Pikachu!"He said bravely.
"Buneary!"Buneary said shyly as she covered her face on its fur while blushing, while Ralts just put her head down to look away from Shinx.
"That's weird."Ash said in surprise.
"What's going on?"Denise questioned.
"Of course, Buneary has a crush on Pikachu, while Ralts has a crush on Shinx!"Dawn replied in realization.
"How do we battle with this going?"Ash asked as Aipom went at the top of his head.
"Well, love while you can."Denise joked.
Buneary goes closer to Pikachu and takes a peak to look at his face, but quickly hid her face while blushing again.
Shinx sweat dropped at Ralts reaction.
"That's the real thing alight."Brock commented with a smile.
"Love or not, I'm catching that Buneary and Ralts!-"Ash stated.
Buneary grew angry as she used Ice Beam to freeze the four heroes and their pokemon.
Luckily, Starly, Eevee and Shinx didn't get frozen.
Buneary felt happy to complete its task as it now danced around with Pikachu.
Ralts used Psychic to lift up Shinx and started twirling around in happiness making the Flash Pokemon dizzy.
"Eevee!"Eevee said worriedly.
The Evolution Pokemon began to chase after her friends.
Buneary and Ralts both continued twirling Pikachu and Shinx until they reached to a grassy field.
But then Pikachu and Shinx got fed up with Buneary and Ralts causing them to cry.
The Electric Types apologized to them, but they kept crying.
Then Starly flew to the field followed by Eevee and they went up to their friends.
They looked at Pikachu and Shinx when noticing Buneary and Ralts crying.
Pikachu and Shinx just gave their Flying and Normal Type friends awkward smiles.
Out of no where, two mechanical glass prisoners grabbed Buneary and Ralts, which were connected to a big robot.
Starly, Eevee, Shinx and Pikachu prepared for battle when they saw Team Rocket.
"Shinx!"Shinx stated.
Starly nodded and flew off to get the others.
"Buneary!"Buneay called out.
"Ralts!"Ralts cried.
Pikachu used Thunderbolt, while Shinx used Thunder Wave and Eevee used Shadow Ball.
The Attacks collided with the robot only to be hurting Buneary and Ralts.
Pikachu, Eevee and Shinx gasped in shock.
Jessica giggled evilly. "Try all you want and these cutie pies get hurt!"
Croagunk walked down the path to where Ash and the others went, only to see them frozen.
The Toxic Mouth Pokemon then destroyed the ice with Poison Jab.
The fours trainers shook at the cold.
"Man, that was cold!"Denise said as she shivered from the cold.
"Thanks for getting us out with one shot no less."Brock stated with a smile.
Croagunk just croaked until Starly came by.
"What, Starly?"Ash asked.
Pikachu, Eevee and Shinx lost the will to fight since their attacks only harmed Buneary and Ralts.
"Now that our yellow paw and friends are down, you're gonna be nice?"Meowth cackled.
"Pika..."Pikachu answered.
Eevee and Shinx nodded sadly in agreement.
"Then, you will both see what your rides will be like!"Jessie stated with a evil smile.
Glass balls captured Pikachu, Shinx and Eevee along with Buneary.
"Pikachu!"Pikachu said angrily.
"Shinx!"Shinx growled. "Shinx!"
Eevee gasped at their responses.
"Pikachu and Shinx are saying to keep our part of the bargen, but let go of Buneary and Ralts."Meowth translated with a smile.
"Well, not happening!"Jessie replied. "That's what you get for bargaining with us!"
"We connect in bad faint."James commented with his arms folded.
"Pikachu!"Ash shouted.
"Eevee! Shinx!"Denise called out.
Team Rocket saw Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock running into the field.
"Pika Pi!" Pikachu stated happily.
"Shinx!"Shinx said in relief.
"Eev!"Eevee cried in joy.
"How did they get the four of them!?"Dawn said in shock.
Team Rocket started doing their theme.
"Listen, is that an annoying voice that I hear?"
"Well, it's shrieking to me loud and clear!"
"On the wind!"
"Past the stars!"
"In your ear!"
"Bringing chaos at a breakneck place!"
"Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!"
"A rose by any other name is just as sweet!"
"When everything's worse, our work is complete!"
"Jessie!"
"And James!"
"Meowth, now that's a name!"
"Putting the good doers at their places!"
"Team Rocket..."
"In your face!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"You twerps are too late."Jessie commented. "If you thought Pikachu was going to save Buneary's fluffness think again."
Buneary punched the glass with Dizzy Punch, while Ralts used Magical Leaf to try and break her prison.
"Your cute ears and lovely leaves have no effect."James said with a smile.
"These twerpish moves have no match for the Team Rocket proof glass."Jessie admitted.
"And since Pikachu and friends agreed to join up with us, all you losers can mope like dough!"Meowth joked.
Team Rocket laughed with their words.
Pikachu began to use Iron Tail on the prison glass, while Shinx used Spark and Eevee used Shadow Ball.
"Don't worry, guys!"Ash answered. "We'll get you out of there-"
He started to run towards the robot, but stopped when Meowth used the robot's pincers to snap at him.
"Just can't keep the hands to ourselves."Meowth said with a smirk.
"When it comes to raffles, we sure can win!"Jessie complemented.
"Today is just too easy anyway."James stated.
Then Officer Jenny arrived in her motorcycle.
"Jenny's here!"Brock said with happiness.
"Those are the three! The factory thieves!"Officer Jenny said with a frown as she revealed the photo, which was actually Team Rocket disguised as some common thieves.
"Now, who's that photo genetic female?"Jessie asked with a smile.
"I told you not to put a peace sign in front of the camera!"James reminded.
"Dummy!"Meowth complemented.
"Excuse me!"Jessica said angrily. "But I'm an actress here and I look good in cameras!"
James and Meowth shrugged at her.
"Why are they dressed like that?"Officer Jenny asked in confusion.
"They are called Team Rocket and they stole those Pokemon."Denise answered.
Jenny nodded and glared back at Team Rocket.
Pikachu kept using Iron Tail and smashed his glass prison while Shinx and Eevee managed to do the same thing.
Team Rocket gasped in shock.
"Great job, you guys!"Ash said proudly.
Three pokemon rushed to Buneary and Ralts.
"So much for twerp proof."James muttered.
"Meowth, can't you do something to protect our investment?!"Jessie demanded.
"Let's see them Iron Tail this!"Meowth replied as he pressed the button.
The robot began to rocket towards the sky.
Pikachu smashed the glasses with Iron Tail releasing Buneary and Ralts.
"That Iron Tail always amazes me!"Ash said with a smile."Great job, Pikachu! Now, use Thunderbolt!"
"Okay, Buneary! You help out Pikachu with Ice Beam! Dawn ordered.
"Shinx use Spark and Eevee use Water Gun!"Denise stated.
The Pokemon fired their attacks causing the boosters to freeze and get destroyed.
"WE HATE BEING GROUNDED!"Team Rocket shouted.
Their machine began crashing down after Ralts used Psychic to help herself and her friends get off the robot.
Ash caught Pikachu, while Dawn caught Buneary.
Denise caught Eevee, Shinx and Ralts into a big hug.
Team Rocket groaned as they were hurt from the fall.
"I hate machines."Jessie muttered.
"Spending fortune on all these parts."James groaned.
"I guess it's a rubble grouser now."Meowth mumbled.
"Alright!"Officer Jenny said angrily. "You three are under arrest!"
Team Rocket immediately began to run off.
"We need to make some pay checks!"Team Rocket shouted in unison.
Wobbuffet and Mime Jr followed them from behind.
"Stop, thieves!"Officer Jenny ordered as she chased them with her motorcycle.
"You sound like the twerps!"Team Rocket shouted as they disappeared from sight.
"There goes the decayed made!"Brock said sadly.
"That means she's been good at school too."Ash joked with a smile.
"I'm so glad that you're safe, Buneary!"Dawn said sweetly.
She and Buneary hugged each other happily.
"Same for you and the rest, Ralts."Denise said kindly.
Ralts blushed and smiled gently. "Ralts."
"Hey, why don't you come along with us?"Dawn suggested.
"Pika Pika!"Pikachu said in agreement.
"Shinx!"Shinx said in joy.
Eevee giggled. "Eevee."
"It looks to me that Pikachu agree."Brock admitted.
"I think everybody does."Ash answered.
Buneary went up to Dawn's head. "Buneary!"
"Ralts."Ralts said quietly as she nuzzled her head at Denise's cheek.
"Best first we need to battle, if you guys wanna join."Denise commented with a wink.
Both Buneary and Ralts agreed and made a battle stance.
"Okay! Piplup, I choose you!"Dawn said.
"And Turtwig, come on out!"Denise stated.
The two sisters threw out their pokeballs making their starters appear.
"Okay, Piplup! Use Bubblebeam!"Dawn ordered.
"And Turtwig use Razor Leaf!"Denise ordered.
Then Bubblebeam and Razor Leaf were fired at Buneary and Ralts, who dodged the attacks.
"Whoa! Heads up, Dawn and Denise, they're right behind you two!"Ash stated.
"Okay, Piplup! Jump! Then, use Peck!"Dawn stated.
"And Turtwig use Quick Attack!"Denise commented.
Turtwig did a Quick Attack at Ralts hitting the Psychic type, while Buneary dodged Piplup's Peck.
"You're doing great, Piplup!"Dawn replied.
"You too, Turtwig!"Denise said with a confident smile.
"Hey, they're getting good!"Ash stated proudly.
"Now, Piplup, use Bubble Beam!"Dawn ordered.
"And Turtwig use Razor Leaf!"Denise ordered.
Piplup shot Bubble Beam while Turtwig shot Razor Leaf and Buneary shot Ice Beam.
The attacks collided making an explosion.
As the smoke cleared, Buneary startled Piplup with an incoming Dizzy Punch, while Ralts began to activate Psychic to hit Turtwig.
"Look out! That Dizzy Punch can set Piplup over again!"Brock warned. "And Turtwig is super effective to Psychic moves!"
"On it! Piplup, dodge! Then, use Peck!" Dawn ordered.
"And Turtwig use Take Down!"Denise stated.
Piplup dodged all the attacks and pecked Buneary away with Peck while Turtwig head butt Ralts.
Buneary and Ralts tumbled onto the grass.
"Okay, Poké Ball!"Dawn and Denise said in unison. "Let's go!"
The two sisters threw Poké Balls at Buneary and Ralts causing them to get captured.
Everyone waited for it to stop.
After for a few seconds, the Poké Balls stopped shaking.
Both Dawn and Denise smiled happily as they rushed to get their Poké Balls.
"Alright!"Dawn remarked in joy. "Buneary is now all mine!"
"Piplup!"Piplup cheered happily.
"And Ralts is ours!"Denise announced proudly.
Turtwig, Eevee and Shinx cheered in happiness.
The two sisters danced happily for their victory.
"Well, Dawn! You finally did it!"Ash stated. "And awsome job, Denise!"
"That's great!"Brock admitted.
"Come on out, Buneary!"Dawn called out.
"You too, Ralts!"Denise insisted.
Buneary and Ralts came out of their Poké Balls, then they ran to hug their new Trainers.
Dawn giggled. "I'm sure that our first Contest will be no sweat!"
"I really can't wait, sis."Denise replied with a chuckle.
With new Pokémon now on their teams, the Twinleaf twins were ready for the Jubilife Contest.
