TP1
At Team Rocket Headquarters, Giovanni is looking over some papers, seeing what all was found. This had surprised him as he didn't even know this island ever existed. Not to mention one of their undercover workers had managed to send pictures of a door. This door looked ancient and was probably of very high importance. Looking at the door very closely he also noticed molded indents in the door as well. This did not settle with him at all.
As he looked at the papers with much intent, Jessie James and Meowth stood at attention. They had managed to give him the information he requested for. Including the Kabuto looking one along with many, possibly extinct, Pokémon. He looked up at them and they said nothing. Only waiting for what he would say.
"So, then. All of this is the information you have managed to gather. What else was there and what else was our undercover agent able to get?" Giovanni questioned.
"Our apologies, sir. I'm afraid this is all we could get." James explained.
"Even our undercover agent was having some trouble. There are many security guards and scientists in the area. The door was incredibly difficult to get a picture of." Jessie informed him.
"We'll do better next time, sir. I promise." Meowth reassured him.
"There's no need." He told them as he got up turned around and looked out the window. The trio had surprised faces as they did not expect Giovanni to reply like that. "I should've known. This new island would be heavily guarded; so, we must be extra careful." He told them. "Did you also take this information to our lab department?" he requested.
"Y-yes sir." Jessie replied, a bit nervously.
"Along with some samples, sir." Meowth informed him.
"Good. That's what I like to hear." He told them as he turned to face them. "With all of what you have found, we might get closer to unraveling the secrets of that island." He told them. "Now go." He ordered them as he made a motion movement with his arm.
"Sir." They replied and headed out.
Giovanni put on a devious smile after they left and he looked at the papers, including one in particular. "Well now. We'll soon find out more about you…Arceus." He said as he looked at a wall drawing of Arceus in the picture on his desk.
(Beat) In a loud whisper: GOTTA CATCH 'EM, GOTTA CATCH EM, GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! POKEMON! (Regular) I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.
"AYE! OWW! YAH!" Ash screamed as Chad was twisting his body in different directions. From the last episode, Ash had to face a little bit of a difficult challenge.
Taking this new challenge very seriously, he helped Misty and Pikachu to make it to the other doors. One of which was a tad bit of a mystery to find, but… "Ash! You have to try and…" snap. Chad was about to say something until something snapped in Ash's body.
"Is…is he alright?" Misty asked as Ash fell face first onto the table Chad had him on.
"I'd say he'll be alright. After he got his back hurt, I know he won't be in any condition to battle me." Chad told Misty as they began to lift him up. "One more thing we need to do is stretch out his back." He told her and Pikachu. They took Ash over to a stretching device that they latched his feet to. From there they flipped him upside down." There we go. This should do the trick." He told them.
"I feel like a Zubat." Ash commented.
"Just got to relieve stress off your back before tonight. That will be the final bit." Chad told him.
"What do you mean?" Ash asked.
"Plain and simple. You need to recover overnight. I even requested that I get some better platforms. Yet, the League stops me around every turn. Even when I go to Chris." He told Ash before he departed.
Misty went up to him and bent low to see his face. "Are you okay? Do you need anything?" she asked him.
"Nah. I'll be fine. You don't have to worry." He told her.
She rubbed his cheek. "You should know me better than that. Just holler if you need anything." She told him. Pikachu got on her shoulder as she got up and went into the other room.
Ash watched her and began to speak out loud to himself. "There's that strange feeling again. Why do I feel that? It reminds me of what I felt years ago." He said to himself.
Misty was in Chad's kitchen and began to cook. He watched her from behind as she did. "I take it that your boyfriend is one stubborn guy or very reckless." He mentioned sarcastically. "Also, you don't have to cook, you know." He told her as he approached.
"I know I don't have to, but I got used to it. Also, he really isn't my boyfriend. Nor are we married. He is very stubborn at times." She told Chad.
"Might as well help." He told her as he began to grab up some extra ingredients.
It didn't take too long until the food was ready, and Chad came in. He flipped Ash right side up, slowly. Knowing a lot of blood had rushed to his head. "How does your back feel?" he asked.
"Still a little sore, but much better from last time." Ash told him as he was unlatched. Chad assisted him as Misty came in. She saw the two of them as Chad was helping him to another room. Misty went to assist, and they laid Ash in a bed. "This should help your back the rest of the way. To relax it." He told him.
From there Chad placed a small table as Misty went back to get the food. When she returned, she gave him the plate and Chad brought out a table for Misty. "Hope you're ready to eat." She commented sarcastically.
"You know I am. Definitely starving." He told her. He ate and his face lit up. "This is really good." He commented.
"Well, Chad helped me a bit." She told Ash, from there they began to dig in as Chad gave Pikachu some food.
He looked back at them and could tell there was something strong between them. "Not your boyfriend, huh?" he said to himself before he went on.
As Ash and Misty were eating, Misty noticed some food on his cheek and kissed it off. He blushed at what she did.
"Gotta make sure you aren't a complete mess." She told him teasingly.
"When am I a complete mess?" he questioned. She about answered until he put his hand up. "Don't even answer." He told her as he knew she was right. She giggled at him as she closed her eyes.
After they were done, Misty placed the dishes in the sink until Chad came up. "I got these. Make sure Ash is comfortable. I know he'll be ready for a battle tomorrow." He told her.
"Right." She replied and went to him. Ash was attempting to get up to stretch his back. "And what are you doing?" she asked him. He looked at her and knew he was busted.
"I was uuhhh…going for a walk." he told her, trying to cover up what he was doing. This did not help him one bit.
"Not while I'm around." She told him as she walked to his bed. She got him back in bed and helped him to lay down. "You need your rest for tomorrow. Chad said that you needed it. Not only that, but your back hasn't fully recovered." She told him and put the covers on him.
"Awe! Come on, Mist." He asked.
"No. You need rest." She told him. She finished making sure he was in bed. "Now, if you need anything, I'm in the other room." She told him. She kissed his cheek and went into the other room. She sat on the couch and turned on the tv for a bit while Chad went to the monitor room to double check everything.
Looking at the cameras, he realized that Ash is one of the few trainers who never cheated. "He definitely is a very strong trainer. My question is, how strong?" he wondered asking himself.
After a couple of hours, Misty had fallen asleep on the couch. She slept soundly until she felt tapping on her arm. Her eyes blinked open as she slowly woke up. In front of her was yellow fur with two red dots and pointy ears with a block color look on them. Once her view wasn't as blurry, she saw Pikachu. "Hmm! Pikachu?" she questioned as she got up. "What is it" she asked as she rubbed her eye.
He ran to the room Ash was in and pointed inside. She slowly walked over, still feeling tired and saw Ash. He was gripping the covers as he slept. "Pika pi pikachu pika-pi. (There is something wrong with him.)" he told her.
"M-M-Misty. No, not Misty. Please, don't hurt her. I've known her since I was ten." He said as he was dreaming.
She went inside and saw that he couldn't sleep properly and sat on a chair next to his bed and took his hand. He calmed down a bit and she began to run her fingers through his hair. "It's okay, Ash. I'm here." She told him.
"Need a bed in here?" someone asked her.
She looked to see Chad. "Your still up?" she questioned.
"Won't be going to bed yet. I have a few more things to do. One of which is a bed for you." He told her. Right there, a Pokémon brought in a bed, and she saw it was a Machop. She moved the chair and the Pokémon placed the bed right next to Ash. "Best get some sleep as well. I'll be getting things ready for the battle tomorrow." he told her before walking out.
The same Machop brought her a blanket and she took it. "Thank you." she said with a smile, seeing how helpful the Pokémon was.
"If you need anything, just ask my Pokémon." He told her as he headed off.
It was later on at night and Misty had fallen asleep next to Ash, her arm on him as she slept. As they had slept, Chad made sure everything was set for his and Ash's match tomorrow. He looked at how well prepared the field was. "Come tomorrow, Ash will truly find out how strong and how much of a victor he truly is." He said to himself.
When morning came, Chad was already up. Misty, however, was still asleep. She faced away from Ash until she turned over and her arm landed on his bed. Feeling his bed, she didn't feel him which caused her to wake up. She got up and looked around until she saw the door open. Going outside the room she saw Ash as he was stretching a bit.
"A-Ash? You're up?" she questioned.
He turned around to face her. "You bet and I'm ready for anything." He told her.
"Glad to hear that, because your next battle awaits." Chad told him as he entered. They looked to him and saw that he was ready. "I'm ready whenever you are." He told him.
"I'm ready. Got the Pokémon I need." Ash stated as he patted his poke-balls.
"When?" Misty asked.
"It was while you were still asleep. I exchanged my Pokémon early this morning." He told her then looked to Chad. "I know I'm ready to face you in a battle." Ash told him with a confident smile.
"Don't think you'll win." Chad told him as he smiled.
Not long after, both Ash and Chad were on opposite ends of the battlefield. Misty was on the bench in the stadium as she watched them both.
"This will be a three-on-three match. The first side to have all three Pokémon faint loses. Begin." The female ref said.
"Hope you're still ready." Chad told Ash. "Go! Machamp." He called out. The ball burst open and a white light came out and formed the four armed fighting Pokémon.
"I know the Pokémon for this one." Ash said. He grabbed a poke-ball. "GO NOW! STARAPTOR." Ash called out.
The ball burst open and out came the bird Pokémon. "Star-raptor. (I'm ready.)" he called out,
"Nice choice, but is your Staraptor enough? GO! USE DYNAMIC PUNCH." Chad ordered. Machamp ran towards Staraptor, ready to give a direct hit.
"Fly high Staraptor." Ash told him. Staraptor did as he said and flew high. They all watched in anticipation. "NOW USE AERIAL ACE." Ash commanded.
Staraptor did as Ash said and flew in fast. So fast that he hit Machamp and Machamp flew back a bit.
"Not bad." Chad complimented. "Now use Dual Chop." Machamp ran at Staraptor and began managed to chop him a few times.
"Use Gust." Ash commanded and Staraptor flapped his wings, picking up a lot of debrief.
Machamp got caught up in the Gust and got thrown back a bit.
"Try and use Ice Punch." Chad told Machamp, in an attempt to counter. Machamp got up and ran towards Staraptor.
"Use Brave bird." Ash told Staraptor. Staraptor got up and flew high. He got engulfed in a type of red flame when he began to pick up speed. As he did, Machamp made his fist into ice.
Staraptor flew in quickly and his flame turned blue as Machamp prepared his attack. Narrowly dodging Brave Bird, Machamp hit Staraptor with his Ice Punch, after his flames went away. This froze Staraptors wing, preventing him from flying.
"Ash! Staraptor can't fly anymore. His wing is frozen." Misty told him.
Ash definitely knew Staraptor couldn't battle anymore, even though he showed he was ready. "I forfeit this round." Ash told them.
"With that, Machamp is the winner of this round." The referee stated.
Ash went over to Staraptor. "Hey, buddy. I'm sorry about this. I know you want to battle some more, but your wing is frozen." He told his Pokémon. Staraptor looked at him, thinking that he failed him. "It's okay buddy. You'll win the next battle we'll be in." he reassured him.
"Star. (Understood.)" Staraptor replied.
Chad went up to them. "I can have your Staraptor healed in no time." He informed Ash as a stretcher came up, a Chansey pushing it. From there they put Starator onto the stretcher and took Staraptor to the medical bay for treatment.
From there, both Chad and Ash went to their spot on the battlefield. "Time for your next Pokemon." The ref. called out. Ash looked to Pikachu as Chad picked up his next poke-ball. "Begin." The ref. called out.
"GO NOW! PIKACHU." Ash said called out as Pikachu ran down his arm and launched from there onto the field.
"Come on out, Medicham." the poke-ball burst open, and the white light formed the fighting/psychic type.
"Cham medi-cham. (I am ready.) the Pokémon said as it stood on one leg.
"Use Iron Tail." Ash called out.
"Use High Jump Kick." Chad called out.
Both Pokémon did as their trainers commanded. Pikachu lit up his Iron Tail in a white light as Medicham flew up with its leg. Both attacks collided and sent each of them back a bit.
"Use your Quick Attack." Ash told Pikachu.
"Use Accupunchture." Chad told Medicham.
Misty watched them both intensely as Pikachu used Quick Attack on Medicham. From there, she watched Medicham apply pressure to different parts of its body. "Ash best be careful. His Medicham looks like it's more than a match." She said to herself.
Both Pokémon went at each other with another attack. Pikachu did Iron Tail again as Medicham used Force Palm. Both looked very much even is this battle, so far. Ash even called for a Thunderbolt and that had a direct hit on Medicham.
After the attack, Medicham was panting a good bit, as was Pikachu. Chad could tell that Pikachu was most definitely strong. "I must say. From what I remember seeing of you, you don't disappoint." Chad complimented.
Ash looked confused. "Wh-What do you mean?" Ash requested.
"Your Pikachu managed to help you win many battles. Including your victories in the Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh. You've come a long way all these years." he told Ash.
"You're Pokémon are strong as well. It's a no wonder why you all are as tough as the Elite Four. Much like the Frontier Brains." Ash complimented.
"Right now, time for you to see Medicham's real strength." Chad told Ash. He aimed his hand at Medicham. "Use Power Trick." he called out. Medicham's eyes began to glow as the Pokémon began to switch its offense and defense stats.
"Then we'll use Volt Tackle." Ash called out.
"Is that a smart move?" Misty requested, knowing Ash.
He looked back to her. "I got this, Mist." Ash reassured her before turning back to the battle. 'I know I got this. So does Pikachu.' He thought to himself. Pikachu began to run forward, its own electricity surrounding it. Once Medicham was done, he was ready for Pikachu's next attack, which was right at him. "Now jump high." Ash commanded. Pikachu did as Ash said and jumped high. They both watched in anticipation.
Chad, however, wasn't done with this battle. "Use High Jump Kick." He told Medicham. Medicham jumped high into the air, right close to Pikachu.
Ash smiled. "Right where I want ya." He said to himself. "Now, Iron Tail." Ash called out. This shocked both Misty and Chad as Pikachu powered up his tail and hit Medicham with it. Medicham fell back onto the ground before Pikachu landed. Medicham got up, just barely.
Seeing Medicham still had some fight left, Chad aimed his arm and hand. "Use Force Palm." He called out.
Medicham ran to Pikachu until Ash saw what to do. "Finish this with Thunderbolt." Ash called out.
Misty saw what Ash had done when Pikachu charged himself. "Now I see. With his stats switched around. Medicham would be placed in a weaker stage. His attacks wouldn't have much effect." She said to herself.
"Piiikkaaaa-CHUUUUU! (Here I GOOOOO!)" Pikachu exclaimed as he fired the Thunderbolt right at Medicham. Directly hitting Medicham, he fell over fainted with swirly eyes.
"Medicham is unable to battle. The winner is Pikachu." The ref. called out.
Pikachu fell over a bit as Ash came onto the battlefield and picked him up. "You did great. You deserve a good rest." He told Pikachu.
"There's the trainer I know and love." She said to herself.
Chad went over to Medicham. "Good battling. Rest now." He told his Pokemon as he returned him.
"Chansey! (Coming!)" the Pokémon exclaimed as she came over with a stretcher for Pikachu. Ash saw this and smiled. "Thanks." He told Chansey as he put Pikachu on the stretcher. "I'll see you after the final battle." He told him. Pikachu only smiled and gave a slight nod. Chansey rolled him off to get healed.
"Well, now, Ash. Seems like we're tied." Chad told him. Ash looked to him. "It's time to finish this battle." He told Ash.
"You got it." Ash replied.
"Just be careful, Ash. He's tougher than the Connoisseur Brothers." She reminded him.
"I know. Don't worry, I got this." He reminded her.
"You should know me." She reminded him.
From there Chad grabbed his next poke-ball and threw it. "Come on out. Lucario." He called out.
Out came the steel/fighting type. Lucario grunted. (Ready.)
Ash felt Lucario coming. He couldn't fully explain it but his aura must've been forewarning him about Lucario. Misty saw Ash's gaze and got a little worried.
"Ash?" Misty asked, gaining his attention.
"Yes Mist?" Ash questioned, looking at her.
"You okay? You seem off." Misty asked him.
Ash nodded, "Yes, I'm okay. I felt Chad using Lucario through my aura. Just like when Maylene used her Lucario." He told her.
Misty was surprised, "I didn't know you even had aura." She commented.
"I do, but I'll explain later on. Right now..." he told her as he prepared his third poke-ball. "Come on out! Infernape!" Ash called out.
Infernape burst out of his poke-ball. "Infernape! (Ready!)" the fire/fighting type said.
"Begin." The ref. told them.
"Use Mach Punch." Ash told Infernape.
"Use Extreme Speed." Chad told Lucario. Right as Infernape was getting his attack ready, he was hit by Lucario at a massive speed.
Sitting up, Infernape shook off what had happened and saw Lucario right in front of him again. Even Ash was puzzled at this. "What just happened?" Ash questioned.
"That was Extreme Speed. This move always goes first." Chad told Ash.
"You best be careful Ash. It looks like Lucario will be a greater challenge than the last two." Misty told him.
"Then how can I…" then Ash realized it. "Use Flame Wheel" Ash told Infernape.
"In-in-INFRNAPE! (Here I GOOOOO!)" he exclaimed as he surrounded himself with fire and spun towards Lucario.
"Use Bone Rush." Chad told Lucario. Lucario made a bone out of his own aura. "Hit him high." He told Lucario. Lucario hit Infernape into the air.
"Now use Flare Blitz." Ash called out.
Infernape surrounded itself with flames and charged right at Lucario.
"Aura Sphere." Chad called out.
Both attacks collided and left a giant puff of smoke. Ash Chad and Pikachu were awaiting to see what had happened. When it did clear they saw that both Pokémon were still standing strong, but beat up.
"Now! Use (Metal Claw/Ember.)" they both called out. Both of them unleashed their attacks. Lucario's hands grew white light metal claws, but Infernape didn't use Ember. He used a different move. He was attacking at close range.
Even Misty noticed this and knew what the attack was. "That's Close Combat, Ash. Infernape learned Close Combat." She told him.
Ash was in awe and shocked to see this. "You got to be kidding me. He now knows Close Combat?" Ash questioned.
Both Pokémon were still at it. "Yet, I doubt either one of us will win. They look evenly matched." Chad told Ash.
"They definitely do. You doing okay Infernape?" Ash asked him. Infernape looked back at Ash and gave him a thumbs up. "Definitely ready for more, right?" Ash continued to ask. Infernape gave a nod. " LET'S DO THIS. Use Mach Punch." Ash commanded. This time, Infernape managed to prepare his attack as his arm glowed a white light color again.
"Now, Extreme Speed." Chad ordered. Lucario ran incredibly fast and Infernape managed to block the attack with his own attack. "Use Aura Sphere." Chad ordered. Lucario stopped his previous attack and began to create the Aura Sphere.
"Use Close Combat." Ash told Lucario.
As both Pokémon attacked, Lucario fired his Aura Sphere as Infernape dodged and hit Lucario. "Metal Claw." Chad called out. Lucario did the same thing and hit Infernape with the Metal Claws.
"Use Close Combat." Ash told Infernape. Infernape began his attack move by hitting Lucario multiple times.
"Bone Rush." Chad called out. Lucario made his bone weapon and hit Infernape a few times. Infernape was on the verge of fainting from those hits.
"Ash, I don't think that Infernape can take much more." Misty called out.
"Hang on, Mist. Trust me." He told her.
Infernape looked at him the same way he did when Ash was getting his eighth badge in Sinnoh. Misty looked terrified and worried, thinking that Infernape was going to attack Ash. Yet Chad saw something. Something between Ash and Infernape. From there Infernape faced back to Lucario and Lucario sensed something off of Infernape.
"I'd say this battle is about over." Chad said.
"I must agree. You ready?" Ash asked them.
I most certainly am." Chad replied.
Both of their Pokémon grunted to confirm.
Misty was very worried but sensed the connection between Ash and Infernape in this battle. "Yes! This is definitely the Ash I fell in love with." She told herself.
From there, Infernape's Blaze activated, showing his true strength. "Okay, Infernape, use Flame Wheel." Ash called out. Infernape moved fast and spun towards Lucario.
"Dodge, then use Metal Claw." Chad told Lucario. Lucario jumped out of the way and activated his Metal Claws. From there, he attempted to attack Infernape.
"Dodge and use Flame Wheel." Ash told Infernape.
Infernape managed to dodge in time and surrounded himself in flames. He spun towards with great speed and slammed into Lucario. Knocking him a bit of a distance away, but Lucario wasn't finished yet.
"Our last move!" Chad called out.
"It's the last move Infernape." Ash told him.
"Use Extreme Speed/Mach Punch." they called out together.
Both Pokémon went at it once again. Lucario used his extreme speed while Infernape used Mach Punch. As both attacks collided, both Pokémon were still standing, panting heavily. Both Ash and Chad saw this and gave a nod. "It's a tie." They said in unison.
"Both the trainer and Brain Leader have declared a tie." The ref. stated as he crossed his flags.
Ash and Chad went over to their Pokémon and Misty joined Ash to check on Infernape.
Chad knelt down to Lucario. "I'm glad we had this battle. You did great." He complimented to Lucario. He looked over to Ash and Misty.
They were knelt down to Infernape's level. "Great job, Infernape. You did incredibly well." Ash complimented.
"You most certainly did. All thanks to a certain trainer." Misty said to them both. "One trainer I'm really proud of." She told Ash before she kissed his cheek.
He blushed from her kiss and looked at her then back to Infernape. "As for right now. You need some good rest." He told Infernape.
"Hang on!" Chad told Ash as he went up to him. Ash looked up at him before standing up.
"What? What is it?" Ash asked.
"This." Chad informed him as he handed him the Badge Symbol.
Ash reluctantly took it and was very consumed. "But I didn't win." He told him.
"Are you kidding me. You gave off a great battle." Chad informed him. Ash and Misty looked at him surprised as did Infernape. "Here, we don't go off by how you win or lose. It's how string you are. Like when you forfeited when Staraptors wing was frozen. That takes real strength." He told Ash. "It doesn't matter how physically strong you are. It's also how strong you are when you know your Pokémon can't battle. Along with how well you're connected with your Pokémon. That's where the strength truly does lie." He informs Ash.
Ash began to understand the true meaning of strength. He looked at the Badge Symbol. "Then I accept it." He told Chad.
"Great to hear." He told Ash until Chansey came up with a spray. "Ah, yes. This should heal up Infernape really well." He told them. "Just hold still." He told Infernape as he sprayed the stuff on him. Infernape cringed in pain from the spray. "It'll hurt for a bit, but you'll be better in no time." He told the fire/fighting type.
It wasn't long after Ash had returned Infernape and saw that Staraptor and Pikachu were completely healed. "Hey! How are you both doing?" he asked them. They both replied in their own language saying 'fine'. That's great to hear. You both ready?" he asked them. Both nodded. Ash returned Staraptor and Pikachu jumped on his shoulder.
"From what I can clearly tell, you are worthy of the strength badge. Yet, you still have a ways to go. Some advice though." He told Ash as Misty also listened. "Take some breaks. You definitely need them." He told Ash.
"Understood on that. Even Misty told me to do the same thing." He recalled.
"You best if you know what's good for ya, ha ha ha ha." Misty told Ash as she laughed a bit.
"As for right now, how do we get to the next town?" Ash wondered as Chad led them to a spot.
"Oh it's very simple." He told them. Ash, Misty and Pikachu looked at him, very confused. "You gave off a great battle and I hope you do the same still with the others you face. For right now. Just don't fall too much." He told them before he pulled a lever. From there a trap door open. Ash, Misty and Pikachu fell right down the hole, screaming. From there, the trap door closed. "He'll do great in the Indigo League." He said to himself.
Ash and Misty continued to fall down the hole. Both of them trying to grab one-another's hand. It didn't take long until they hit running water in the tunnel they were falling in. Right outside the tunnel was where the water was pouring out at. The water poured right into a small area. Ash and Misty both continued to fall until Ash came out first, still screaming. He landed right in the area, water splashing around him.
When Misty came out, she was still screaming as well. Ash got up quickly and kept an eye on her along with Pikachu when he came out as well. "I got ya, I got ya." He told her as he got up and ran backwards a bit to catch her. As soon as she landed, he caught her, but fell with her on top of him, making another splash. Pikachu landed right next to them, making a much smaller splash.
After Misty flinched from the impact, she looked around for Ash. "Uh, Ash?" she questioned. When she looked down, she saw him with swirly eyes. "Whoops, heheh. Sorry." She said sheepishly as she lightly scratched her cheek with her finger. Pikachu swam onto dry land and shook off his fur.
Back in the mountain, Chad was contacting President Goodshow.
"Well, how did it go?" President Goodshow asked.
"He did incredibly well. Yet, I still don't understand. I'm one of the final three he has to face. Why did he have to face me this early?" he questioned.
"It's because of how strong he has become as a trainer. I tested him there to see how well he can truly do. Especially after he won the other Leagues." Goodshow stated.
"Yet, we're evenly matched. I'd say he needs to take a breather before he gets some training in, because of the other last three. The fourth will be easier, but the last two will be more complicated." He told Goodshow.
"I know. I remember how he was before the Indigo League started. What's he's doing now, is more of a test to see how far he's willing to go." Goodshow staed.
Back outside with Misty and Ash. The two of them are walking with Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.
"That was definitely some match," he commented.
"Most definitely was. You were great." She told him as she kissed his cheek, "So was Pikachu and the rest of your Pokémon." She complimented.
He blushed immensely as he rubbed the back of his head. Misty got close to him, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. From there, she rested her head on his shoulder. The two of them would continue to travel to get to their next destination. Where Serena would have her first contest.
Back with Team Rocket, Giovanni was with his researchers. They had showed him the items they had managed to find that would possibly unlock the door. A sun and moon gems along with gold and silver feathers. This was of high interest to him.
"Was there anything else?" he requested.
"There was, sir. But the scientists and the enemy team got them before we could." The scientist informed him.
Giovanni slammed his fist on the table. "If we don't beat them to the punch first, then we'll lose our chance." He stated.
"What's so important out there, sir?" the scientist requested.
"Since you're new to our organization, here's what's going on." Giovanni began. "For years now I've been tracking the legendries. Even where our newly successful trio have been. This island might be the key to finding the power I've been searching for." Giovanni stated.
"Then what should we do since our enemies are getting ahead?" the scientist requested.
Giovanni looked at him sternly. "Take our resources over there. Our undercover agents know what they need to do." He told him.
"Sir!" he replied and headed out.
Giovanni looked at the pictures on his desk still, knowing that this one location has what he's looking for. "Soon enough, Team Rocket will rule the world. Then everyone, along with our rivals, will kneel before us." Giovanni stated as he looked at a "P" symbol.
I WANT TO BE THE BEST, THAT NO ONE EVER WAS! TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST. TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE. FOR EVERY NEW JOURNEY I FACE, OFFERS A NEW CHALLENGE. FROM NEW FRIENDS, TO NEW RIVALS! NEW POKEMON WITH NEW ABILITIES. BE A HERO, BE A HEERROOO. IT'S IN YOUR SOUL. BE A HEERRROOOOO. THE POWER IS IN YOUR SOUL. JUST TAKE IT IN YOUR HAAANNNDD! POKEMON.

Tom: Hope you all are enjoying this stuff. We're still underway with more stories, along with franchises.
Sara: There will still be a lot of updates to many stories, but we're really focusing on this one.
Tom: As for now, TimPrime1 has a big announcement.
A/N: By next year, I will be very busy with my daughter, five classes and my full-time job. Even though I will be, I still plan on working on my fanfiction works. I've heard about what's happening with Ash and this should've happened years ago. Not only that, but what we've seen after Sinnoh are nothing more than different universes. Back to you, Tom.
Tom: With what he has said, don't worry. He still plans on delivering great content. It'll just be a bit longer for him to get things done is all.
Sara: In the meantime, just get ready for Christmas and the New Year. There's a lot for us to do.
Tom: In the mean time. Sick back and relax, As I push the button. Only Toonami.
Me: Till next time.
