Beginning AN: here it is the next chapter. well even though I had created a poll on which Criminal Team will replace Team Rocket in Johto my collaborator storyreader21 wanted Team Galactic so I closed the poll even if it only had one vote for Team Galactic and none for Team Plasma. so for the Johto Arc Team Galactic will replace Team Rocket.

Chapter 18: Azalea Town and the road to Goldenrod City

The next day they woke up and headed to the gym where they found that the Gym has closed because of a drought that dried up the river.

"Now what do we do?" Hela asked.

"This city has a legend that a Slowpoke's yawn is able to cause rain after it happened 400 years ago." Red said. "This city loves Slowpoke for that reason. Maybe we can go to the Slowpoke Well, and get help from the Slowpoke there to help, that way the town will still have help when we leave."

"Sounds good to me." Titania said as they headed to the well.

Inside they found a small pool of water to the west, and a narrow passageway to the north. From there, the path travels north, then west through a narrow strip between the wall of the well and rocks, finally traveling south to a pool of water deep within the cave.

In the entrance a man in a Slowpoke costume was lying down.

"Help please." he said. "A group of foreign criminals are cutting off the tails of the slowpoke in the cave to sell. I fell down here and hurt my back. I'll be fine with some rest, but until then I can't stop them."

"That's horrible!" Dawn said.

"Leave it to us." Hel agreed as they headed on, and found a male grunt from Team Galactic in Sinnoh north of the entrance.

"With Team Rocket taken care of that leaves Kanto wide open for us to take over it's underworld." The grunt said releasing a Rattata.

Hela smirked and had Chang'e use Psychic to knock it out. The grunt then sent out another Rattata, and used quick attack, only for Chang'e to be immune and knock it out with another Psychic.

"Arrgh! This just isn't my day." The Grunt complained,

They then continued on the path through the well, and found a female grunt at the top of the stairs to the ledge.

"This region is ours now." The Grunt said, sending out a Zubat,

Hela had Athena use Thunderbolt which knocked it out, with the Grunt sending an Ekans next but a Quick Dig knocked him out without revealing her psychic abilities to a new criminal group.

"You rotten brat!" The grunt growled as they passed.

"These battles are rather easy." Hela mentioned.

"Well you are a Champion." James said. "If they are anything like Team Rocket then this would be some of the weakest members for a job like this. Saving their strongest for missions more important for taking over."

"Well we won't let them." Titania said with confidence.

They then went to the other side of the ledge and down those stairs where they found another male Grunt to the left.

"Your going down." The grunt said sending out Rattata, only to pale when Hela sent out Dragonite

Dragonite knocked out Rattata with Extreme speed before taking out both Zubat with Thunder Punch.

"Just...too strong..." The Grunt said as they passed.

Near where the last Grunt was they came across the Grunt in charge.

"This region will be ours, It is just a matter of time." The grunt said sending out Koffing.

"Not if we have anything to say." Hela said sending out Titania who easily held in in place and defeated Koffing with Psychic.

"You did okay today, but just wait until next time." The Grunt said as Team Galactic ran away.

"Way to go. The foreign criminals have taken off. My back's better too." Kurt said running up. "Let's get out of here."

"Okay." Titania said.

As they left the well the Slowpoke followed and once outside they used Yawn to make it rain.

"You handled yourself like a real hero." Kurt said when they got to the home he and his granddaughter lived in. "As thanks if you bring me apricots I will make custom pokeballs for you. As a sample here, have these Level Ball, Friend Ball, Lure Ball, Moon Ball, Love Ball, Heavy Ball and Fast Ball's. And if you bring me more Apricots I can make you more balls depending on the type of Apricot."

"Thank you." They said spreading the balls between them, with Hela getting the Friend Ball and the Heavy Ball, Titania the Love Ball, Dawn the Fast Ball, James the Moon Ball, Jessie the Lure Ball, and Red the Level Ball.

After leaving Kurt's they headed to the gym, which due to the drought being over was now open.

"I'm Bugsy!" Bugsy introduced himself. "I never lose when it comes to Bug pokemon. My research is going to make me the authority when it comes to bug pokemon. Let me demonstrate what I've learned from my studies."

With that Bugsy sent out Spinarak.

"It may make you the authority in the future." Hela smirked sending out Artemis. "But that time is not yet."

Artemis used Aerial Ace to avoid String shot while landing a super effective hit for the win. The next pokemon was Metapod who tried to use Harden, but since Gust was a special attack it ignored the defense raise and knocked Metapod out anyway. The final pokemon was Scyther, who while fast, compared to a Pidgeot like Artemis and though it took two Wing Attacks and managed to get a Slash attack in, showing the high level of training it still went down earning Hela the win.

"Whoa, Amazing! You're an expert on pokemon. My research isn't complete yet. Okay you win, take this badge." Bugsy said giving her the Hive Badge as well as the TM for Fury Cutter. "Hope you come back for a rematch sometime."

"Maybe." Hela said. "There is still a lot we need to learn to finish our own Research."

With that they left and headed to the Ilex Forest where they followed the path North, then East where they found a trainer named Sylvester and helped him and Farfetch'd get along, before using Cut to continue on the way north then west past the shrine to Celeb and around the pond to the exit of Ilex forest where they found Goldenrod Town and checked into the Pokemon center for the night. With Jessie, James and Meowth getting their own room, as did Red, and Titania shrunk Dawn to doll size for Lily to cuddle with in her sleep while Hela and Titania went on a date, where they stargaze from a clearing in the forest they teleported too, before teleporting back and going to sleep at normal size hugging Lily, and by extension Dawn between them.

Ending AN: that's the chapter. the first movie filler of the Johto Arc will be after Goldenrod City. the only way I can see the Johto movies getting mentioned in this story is to pick and choose when to let them happen. for example at three badges Pokemon 3 The Movie A.K.A Mystery of The Unknown, at six badges Pokemon 4ever A.K.A Celebi's own movie and with all badges earned Pokemon Heroes A.K.A the Latios and Latias movie.

Next Time: Hela, Titania and Dawn have an official Gym Leader match with Whitney and defeat her again, then they go to the mall for a shopping spree for a whole new wardrobe and stuffed animals for for Lily.
