BTW! Still looking for pokemon recommendations. That is still open!

R&R

Enjoy the story.

"It's so hot!"

"I have sand in my shoes."

"Yowch, me tail is burning off!"

Those were the, almost, constant complaints from Jessie, James and Moewth, in that order, that our hero has had to put up with. He just sighed as he sat down under a tree, the trio plopped down too, far enough away from Ash though, they may be working together, for now, but that doesn't make them all buddy-buddy.

"Yo twerp, you got a plan yet?" The, in Ash' bias, annoying cat pokemon asked, picking his teeth with one of his talons.

"No!" He answered sharply. "I don't even know where we are!" Ash was far from in the mood to put up with them. After all, we felt like crap, he knew that it was his fault that he was here, he was also worried about Gary and Brock. 'I hope they're okay...' He thought leaning into the tree.

The four, Wobbuffet decided to go into his ball and Pikachu was sleeping in Ash' pack, sit in silence. Our hero tired to think of where they are, he deduced that they were, maybe in Sinnoh, but, he wasn't as good with a map as Gary or Brock so, he had no idea WHERE in Sinnoh.

Team Rocket didn't know what to do. They were just as stuck and stumped as Ash. They just wouldn't admit it.

The four of them all sighed together at the same time.

They were undeniably stuck on this island.

This island that had a dark beam coming out of the middle of it... WAIT! WHAT!

The four jumped to their feet and rubbed their eyes. "We all are seeing this, right?!" James screamed his question. The others just nodded, not sure what to do or say.

other then... "Let's go see what it is." Ash said coolly and calmly. Maybe it was the way he spoke or island madness, but team rocket nodded and followed Ash into the woods.

The four brush away branches and vines as they made their way deeper into the mysterious island' forest. They passed many lush patches of moss they'd rather not touch nor remember and they carried on, getting closer and closer to the strange, deep, oddly beautiful, ray of darkness.

"What do you think it is?" James pondered, to himself mostly.

Ash looked back to ensure the blue haired mans safety before answering. "Not sure, but..." He pause, thinking about how to word what he wants to say. "It feels like... It's calling me." The team looked at him funny, he understood. "I know it sounds weird, maybe crazy, but... I don't know."

Ash expected them to call him insane and-or ditch him, but... "WELL!" Jessie stepped forward, swatting away a bug. "If we go to it, we'll find out." She looked back to the boy. "And hopefully a way back to the main land." Ash gave her a soft smile as thanks, one that Jessie tried to ignore.

"I just want to get a nice four course meal!" Moewth remarked latching onto James' shoulder, much to his annoyance.

Ash smiled. 'Maybe being trapped with these jokers isn't the worst thing, that could happen.' He thought, internally laughing.

Before our hero could savor the moment any longer... "Ahh!" They all moaned, trying to shield their eyes. The beam got much brighter. "WHAT'S HAPPENING?!" James screamed, he had to, the beam was making a sound wave, a loud one.

"I DON'T KNOW!" Ash yelled back, he started to move forward, inch by inch, it was making a strong push back force. "BUT I'M GONNA FIND OUT!"

"DON'T FORGET US!" Moewth exclaimed, on Jessie' shoulder now, as him and her moved onward as well.

James was shocked but his two companion, he looked around, then at them, then sigh and started to move with the rest.

The team grabbed hold of a, surprisingly giant tree, and they were so close to the beam, so close they saw... A camp? "Who are they?" Ash asked, no one really, as he watched a group of people, with weird jumpsuits on, poking and prodding at the beam, as if it was alive. "Are they studying it?" Ash now looked back to the others. Which earned him a round of shrugs and "I don't know."

They watched as this strange group toyed with this beam of darkness, unfazed. "How come they aren't being pushed back?" James wondered, gripping onto the tree as if it would take him away from all of this.

"Maybe it's the suit?" Jessie said as a joke.

"Maybe." Ash muttered.

"I-I was just joking!" Jessie panicked waving her hands around.

"I'm not." Ash said plainly. "Maybe it's something in the suit?" He said with a smirk tugging on his lips.

Before this 'joke' could go farther, James interjected. "That logo..." He mumbled.

"You know it?" Ash asked with eager eyes, that kinda scared James.

"Y-Yes. They are the logo of a splinter group of team rocket." The blue haired member explained. The logo in question was a green meteor "They wanted to do harm to the world, something Giovanni wasn't letting them do."

"So they're big bad baddies!" Ash said, sounding way to excited.

Team rocket all looked at each other and all thought the same. 'He's a-little different.'

"What'z da plan twerp?" Moewth purred.

Moewth was greeted with Ash' smug face. "Well this beam is clearly important, so..." He pause as if he was waiting for someone to finish his sentence. When he was met with looks of 'What do you want?' He sighed. "So lets get em."

"Get em?!" James repeated as a question, hoping he heard wrong.

"What's with the shock?" Ash asked with a questioning smirk, if that was possible. "You said that these guys have a fetish with doing stuff to the world, right?"

"I-I did say that, yes." James stuttered.

"Good, then they're bad." Ash stood up from the tree, almost as if the force didn't matter to him anymore. "So I'm going to stop the bad guys." He turn his head back to look at them. "You coming?"

The team shared a look of unknowing before steeling themselves. "You bet!" They all said. Then huddled. "Maybe the boss will be proud of us if we take down these guys." They once again all said at the same time. They then jumped up and pumped the air. "We will make him proud!"

In a tent of the camp that our hero was watching sat a man.

"Sir we hear strange sounds in the woods." said one of the random soldiers.

"Is that right." The man said. He stood up. "Deal with it."

"Y-yes sir!" The soldier saluted and ran away.

The man sat back down. "Hmmm." He pulled out a picture of himself and someone else. "I wonder what you are doing right now?" He pondered, then let out a deep sigh. "Living a better life then I, most definitely." The man put the picture away, back in his coat. "I hope that your life stays that way." He closed his eyes. "It will... If you don't get in my way." He threatened someone who wasn't there. Someone who just a picture to him right now. The man prayed that the person would say that way. Not wanting to hurt them. The man drifted into a sleep, remembering the path that lead him here.

That was before he was startled by a big boom and pokemon calling it's name.

The gang jumped down from their vantage point and snuck around... HAH! No they didn't. Did you really think Ash would sneak!? "Thunder bolt!" Was all one of the worker heard before being zapped. All of the members looked to see who just bolted one of them.

They turned to see Ash and team rocket all looking smug and ready to throw down. "Get them!" Was what, what looked like, a top member said throwing out a pokeball. Out came a Salamence which roared it's name!

"This is what I live for!" Ash grabbed some of his pokeballs. "I'm absolutely crazy about it!"

I know, I know. I know what you're thinking! "Didn't you say that this chapter was going to much longer!" I did say that, but... When I ran everything through my head. It was just too long! For this story anyway. I like making these chapters shorter then my other story. If you want longer chapters read BFTH! Please! Anyway I hope you enjoyed regardless! I'll see you later friends of fanfiction!
