Hi, readers! Thanks for clicking on this page. Okay, couple of you who read part 6 was confused about the part because I only sent half of it. But here is the whole thing, I am sorry if I confused you. Thanks to Dark Umbreon and Antti H. V. for telling me this. This part is dedicated to you two.

Alright, let's the show on the road.

After giving Nurse Joy his Pikachu, Ash heads for his room, delivering the pizza and the salad to his hungry friends. Ash looks to the side of the hallway and sees a wanted poster, and got his second heart attack for the day.

        Staring at the poster, Ash’s eyes pop out as he sees his own picture on the poster clearly says 'wanted'. The name of the wanted person is Satoshi...

        So, the guy I just battle is Satoshi, and he is wanted. But if we have so much in common, how can he be wanted? And how can he be so strong? He told me to train for the Jotho League, is he also entering? If so, how the heck am I suppose to beat him?

        "Ash! There you are! Come on, bring the pizza over!" Brock sticks his head out of their room and disturbs Ash out of his thoughts.

        "Coming Brock." Ash answers, walking toward his room before looking at the poster one more time.

        "Brock, how are we getting to the Jotho League?" Misty asks.

        "The Jotho League is held in Indigo Plateau this year, and if we walk from here, we'll make it before the opening ceremony." Brock said, then chokes down a slice of pizza.

        "Are you guys done eating yet," Ash said, packing everything and get ready to leave. He finds his friends staring at him like his is crazy. "What? Do I have something on my nose?"

         "You finished eating before us? Misty, go check his temperatures." Tracy whispers to Misty.

        "I am fine guys, I just want to get there earlier so I could start training, I am sure that this year's competition is harder than the last time I entered." Ash said, adjusting the weight of his backpack.

        "Okay, guys, ready to go?" Misty stands up and gathers her things.

        "Yep, all ready."

        "Same here."

        "Hey Brock," Ash taps Brock's shoulder when they exits the Pokemon, gathering their Pokemon, "How long do we have to walk?"

        "I don't know, but we better walk fast, because I heard that wild Pokemon in these parts can be very dangerous at night." Brock said, looking around to check for wild Pokemon.

        "Lets travel in style then. Charizard, Pidgeot, go!" Ash tosses two Poke-Balls up the sky and two fliers are ready to take off. "Come on, lets move it."

        Ash and Misty gets on Pidgeot, while Brock and Tracy rides on Charizard. At first Charizard object on giving a ride to Brock and Tracy because they are not its trainer, but after some persuasion from Ash, Charizard agrees at last.

        "Lets fly!" Ash gives the signal and after a few minutes, they are there. "Well, that's a cool ride." He turns to Misty, "Uh, Misty, you could let go of me now."

        "Oh! Sorry," Misty said, jumping off of Pidgeot, hiding her deep blush from Ash.

        "Charizard, Pidgeot, return!" Ash holds up two Poke-Balls and recalls his Pokemon.

        They are walk into the front gate of the metropolis, The Indigo Plateau. "Welcome to Indigo Plateau, home of Jotho League. Which of you is entering the tournament?"

        "That would be me," Ash answers, stepping out. The woman gasps as she sees Ash. She must though I am the fugitive from the wanted poster, better clear things out before anything else happens, I still haven't tell my friends who Satoshi is. "Don't worry, here, check my Pokedex," Ash said, handing his Pokedex to the woman.

        After everything was sort out, the woman apologizes and gives them a three rooms cabin for free. Misty had to pull Brock by the ear to get him away from the poor woman.

        "Dips on the biggest room in the cabin!" Misty said loudly to her friend. She runs to their cabin straight ahead.

        "Oh no you don't, that's my room!" Ash takes off fast and goes after Misty.

        "Kids, when will they grow up?" Brock said, turning to Tracy.

        "I don't know about you, but I am getting a decent room." Tracy runs to catch up with Misty and Ash.

        "Dang it! All of you little immature children, wait for me!" Brock yells after them.

        Inside the cabin, it is total chaos. Ash, Misty, and Tracy all wants to get the biggest and most comfortable in the cabin. Brock tries to shut everybody up, but no avail.

        "Pikachu? Do your thing." Brock whispers to the eager little mouse.

         "Pikachu!!!" (Silence!!!) Then he shocks everybody.

        "What the heck you shock me!?" Brock shouts angrily at Pikachu. Pikachu just ignore him and jumps on Ash's shoulder.

        "Alright, after many thoughts on this matter, I have finally come to a solution." Brock said, silencing everybody. "Misty should get the room because she is a girl, and being the gentlemen we all are," Misty rolls her eyes, "We should let Misty have her privacy and the best room in the cabin."

        Misty is extremely happy with Brock's decision, but she doesn't know there were more of it...

        "But then again," Brock continues, "Without Ash, we can't even be in the cabin. Therefore, Ash should get the best room in the cabin." Then Brock acts very surprise and gasps, "Wait the minute, since both of you are sharing a room, I guess me and Tracy we take the remaining two rooms."

        "High-five?" Tracy asks, extending his hand.

        "Oh yeah," Brock said, slaps his hand on Tracy's. Then they laugh their heads off.

        "Brock, you got three seconds before I get my hands on you!" Misty bellows.

        "Welcome ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages! In the past year, all of the participants have earned eight or more badges to compete in the annual Jotho League. Let the crowd give them some applauds," The announcer stops, then applaud takes over and the noise rocks the whole stadium.

        "Where's Ash?" Brock asks Misty, who's sitting next to him."

        Misty searches for Ash, black hair, wearing a hat, Pikachu on his shoulder. "There! Second row to the front, at the furthest left. Next to a girl?! He's talking to her!"

        "Calm down, Misty." Tracy said, annoyed.

        The announcer starts to talk again, "There would be over two hundred trainers competing this year, and there would be nine rounds. The first seven rounds allow only three Pokemon per trainer, and the last two rounds are full six on six battles. Trainer advance forward each round until with have a winner, who will earn the title of Pokemon Master!"

        The crowd cheers madly as they hear the words 'Pokemon Master".

        "Let's have our returning champion gives us a few word." The announcer said gladly, finishing his job for the day.

        A girl in her early teens, about 14 years or older, takes the announcer's place on the podium. The crowd goes wild right about the Master is about to speak.

        "Thank you, thank you." Then she coughs a few time, "Many of your may know me, if you don't, that's okay too. I am sure have all heard this before, but don't get bored: you guys are all winners whether you win the tournament or not. Just participating takes much determination and skill. I, too, of course will enter in the Jotho League. I wish all of you good luck and remember, your Pokemon deserves as much credit as all of you do. Thank you."  The girl takes a bow and leaves the podium.

        The announcer resumes his spot on the podium, "The elimination rounds begins tomorrow at 9 am sharp. Be sure to go to the Pokemon Center in Pokemon Village to get where and when your battle is. Good luck."

        "Hey Misty," Brock taps on Misty's shoulder.

        "What?"

        "Some thing is not right. You know the girl who just gave a speech down there?" Brock said, narrowing his eyes. (A/N: How can he narrows his eyes, can't even see his eyes)

        "You mean the Master?" Misty said, smiling towards Togepi.

        "Yeah, I got the feeling she's not a girl." Brock said, folding his arms, looking at Tracy for support.

        "You must be crazy. How can you tell?" Misty said, shaking his head. Tracy nods his head, agreeing with Misty.

        "I just could, its never wrong." Brock said, defending his abnormal 'senses'. "That girl is not a girl and I am sure of it."

        "Yeah, whatever," Misty said, she and Tracy leaves the stadium.

        "Nobody ever listens to me." Brock growls and follows them out of the stadium.

        "You tired?" Misty asks Ash, who is lying down in their bed on his stomach. She sits down on the soft mattress next to him.

        "Just a little," Ash groans, "Where's Pikachu?"

        "He's out there, looking for fruits, I guess." Misty said.

        They stay there for a couple of minutes. Misty notices that Ash is not himself, not very energetic.

        "Are you nervous? I mean, about the tournament."

        "Yeah, I guess." Ash said, feeling his hands go numb. His hands hadn't move for half hour and it's under the weight of his chest. So he push himself up and sits next to Misty. They sit they in silence for couples of minutes. "I am gonna take a walk." Ash stands up.

        "You want me to come along?" Misty offers, standing up as well.

        "No," Ash said, leaving the room.

        "Come back soon, it's getting dark." Misty said after him.

"Okay."

"I think he's scared." Misty whispers to herself.

        "Pikachu! Pikachu!" Ash shouts to the forest, pausing every once a while to hear if his little friend had shouted back. "Come out Pikachu." He said to a tree, Pikachu jumps down from the limb and onto his shoulder. And they walk deeper into forest. After Ash and Pikachu is completely lost in the forest, they find themselves face to face with Team Rocket, fifty of them.

        "Well, well, well, we meet again," A dark figure said. He wasn't wearing any Team Rocket uniforms, but a fine expensive suit. "Ash Ketchum, the boy who destroyed my plans to capture the legendary Mewtwo.  (A/N: You probably don't know this, but in Japan, I think they showed this special movie about Giovanni and Black Turnip, well trained Team Rocket members, trying to capture Mewtwo.)

        "Giovanni," Ash grows.

        "I am sure that you have met my Team Rocket Elite members," Giovanni said, motioning them to come forward.

        "No I haven't," Ash lies.

        "Well, then you guys should get acquainted, here are all of my elite members. TR Elites, take care of him, but bring his Pokemon back." Giovanni said, turning his back to Ash and walks toward his helicopter.

        "Pikachu, give it all you got, Thunder!" Ash screams to the sky.

        "You like the ice cream?" Ritchie smiles toward his female companion.

        "Yeah, strawberry is my favorite." Sakura beams.

        They turn their head toward the forest when they heard an explosion. Ritchie looks up the sky, thunderclouds all over the forest.

         "Looks like trouble, let's check it out." Ritchie said. Sakura replies with a nod.

        "Um, this stake is great!" Gary said to himself as he wolf down the expensive stake.

        Suddenly an explosion can be heard. What the heck was that?! Gary looks at the direction of the forest, he sees a trail of smoke. Gary puts a bill on the table and heads for the forest.

        Casey sits on the shore a small lake, humming her favorite Electabuzz song. She grabs one of her Poke-Balls and start polishing it with the clear lake water.

        Then an ear splitting explosion ­­­occur just somewhere beyond the lake, making her jump and almost drops her Poke-Ball down the river. Figuring there nothing for her to do, she decides to check it out.

        I am worried about him, he hasn't be back since I talk to him.

        Misty is lying in her bed, thinking about Ash. Why can't I do it? It's just a couple sentences.  Who are you kidding? Another voices said, he's so immature that he'll just laugh and that will break my heart. And worse, he'll just reject me. Misty sighs.

        She sits up and stares at the open window and hears an explosion, coming from the forest. I have a bad feeling about it, she thoughts. She gets up from her bed and runs out of her room, straight toward the forest.

        "Guys, are you okay?" Ash asks all of his Pokemon at the same time. An Electrod just explode, causing an extremely strong explosion to occur. He and his Pokemon is going up against over too hundred fifty well-trained, tough Pokemon. Unfortunately, Ash only has six on him.

        "Give up kid, you are fighting a losing battle." One of the TR Elite said, grabbing a Poke-Ball from his belt, "Starmie, use Hydro Pump on that Charizard!"

        A stream of high-pressured water loops its way over to Charizard. Charizard, who's wrestling with a Snorlax, doesn't have the time to move. When the stream of water is gonna make impact, an invisible wall blocks it. It is a Light Screen.

        "Casey? Is that you?" Ash yell over the battle cries, seeing Casey and her trusted Meganium, battling a flock of fliers.

        "You are welcome Ash!" Casey yells back, then she release the rest of her Pokemon: Elekid, Beedrill, Lanturn, and a Magmar. All of them have yellow stripes on them.

        Ash should have known, the Light Screen that protected Charizard is from Casey's Meganium. He watches helplessly as he Pokemon battles the TR Elites' countless Pokemon. Casey's Pokemon had lightened the load, but it wasn't enough.

        "Ever seen a Solar Beam at night?" Casey asks Ash.

        "No, how can you absorb the sun light?" Ash asks curiously. Then he yells to the Pokemon, "Keep it up!"

        Casey runs over to her Meganium, dodging some attacks along the way. She gets a machine out from her pockets and turns the machine on. It is a machine that makes bright lights.

        "What are you doing?" Ash asks, looking at the bright light.

        "Sure, Solar Beam is stronger when absorb sunlight, but no one said that Solar Beam can be charged up using artificial sun light." She turns the light machine to max.

        "That Solar Beam can only hit one of you, so CHARGE!" An Elite yells, the flock of bird Pokemon dives down fast.

        "Alright Meganium, show them our new attack, Meteor Shower Solar Beam!" Casey yells, pointing at the fliers.

        Meganium's large pedal on its neck begins to glow, but instead of the pedals concentrating the sunlight in one beam, the many pedals fire one beams each by itself, sending a dozen of Solar Beams, straight up to the flock of diving Pokemon. "Send them straight out of the ball park!" Casey yells. The diving Pokemon has no time to dodge, all of them faint.

        "You like our attack?" Casey turning to Ash, whose mouth is hanging down from his face. "I'll take that as a yes."

        "Hey guys, I got an idea," Ash yells to his team of tired Pokemon.

        "Chu pika pichu pi pika chu!" (Any idea would be good now.) Pikachu yells as he sends a Thunder Bolt, electrocuting a Beedrill.

        "All of you, don't fight one on one, we are way out numbered, fight as a team. Help each other!" Ash said, encouraging his Pokemon.

        "Looks like you need help the most," A voice said to Ash.

Ash turns around and sees Gary, "Uh, Gary, thanks for the help, but you got some stake sauce on your face." He said, pointing at Gary's face.

"This is hardly the time, man." He wipes the sauce off his face with his sleeve, "Looks like you are out numbered. Let me give you a little help, everybody let's go!" Gary throws out six Poke-Balls at a time, releasing Umbreon, Arcanine, Nidoking, Alakazam, Amphroes, and Blastoise. "Everybody, spread out and help Ash's Pokemon. Arcanine, you stay with me."

"So, your starter is Squirtle?" Ash asks, examining the Blastoise.

"Yep, trained her every since. Whoa!" Gary and Ash jumps back as four or five Scizor surrounds Arcanine. "Fire Blast!"

"Scizor, Agility." Another Elite member said.

Arcanine's Fire Blast all missed when the Scizor starts to pick up speed and dodging them easier by the second.

"Gary, they are gonna beat you like the same way I beat you."

"Trust me, that won't happen again." Gary said with confidence. "Arcanine, keep up with the Scizor using Extreme Speed, then use Tornado of Fire!"

"Tornado of Fire?" Ash asks.

"You'll see." Gary's Arcanine now moves a lot faster then before and it is able to keep up with the Scizor. "Tornado of Fire is an kamikaze move. First, my Arcanine use Dragon Rage on himself, making a tornado surrounding him, then he use any fire attack in the tornado, making the tornado burn with fire, finally, Arcanine use Extreme Speed to prevent foes running away. This move is made just to defeat your Pikachu."

Ash watches the Arcanine performing the attack call 'Tornado of Fire', knocking all the Scizor out in least then few seconds. Ash sighs crestfallenly, knowing that sooner or later, he has to fight this super charged Arcanine. Gary's Arcanine stops attacking, it just stands there panting. Gary was right, it is a kamikaze move. Then it hit him, the attack Casey's Meganium use is also for him and his Pidgeot.

Don't tell me Ritchie also got a attack just for me and my Phanpy. Ash thoughts, looking at his Charizard. His Charizard finally trashed the Snorlax, but it took Charizard a lot work though.

"Hey, Ash." Ritchie said, tapping his shoulder.

Oh come on.  "First battle, talk later."

Ritchie also release all of his Pokemon: Pikachu, Butterfree, Charizard, Tyranatar, Bellessom, and Kingdra. "Everybody, move out!"

"Don't tell you invented a move just to beat me." Ash said looking at his Phanpy, who's using Rollout against a Golem.

"Okay, I won't tell you." Ritchie said, smiling.

Sakura also release her Pokemon to help out. Even with all Ash's friend Pokemon, they are still out numbered ten-to-one.

"We're not winning!" Ash yells to his friends. "Wha! Run!" Ash sees a Fire Blast coming this way.  Fortunately, his friends already took cover. Unfortunately, Ash can't move. "What the?!" Then he sees a Alakazam, not Gary's, but the TR Elites, it's using Psychic, making Ash unable to move. "No!!!" Ash screeches as the scorching Fire Blast comes closer by the second.

"Corsola, Mirror Coat, and fast!" A voice shouts, and then a Corsola jumps in front of Ash, reflecting the Fire Blast to the Alakazam with twice the power. Alakazam tries to block it, but the Fire Blast is too strong and the Alakazam faints.

Ash slowly turns and sees Misty, holding up a Lure Ball. When Misty sees Ash is looking at her, she blushes deeply and walks over toward Ash. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I am fine, thanks to you." Ash said, also blushing.

"Uh, I don't want to ruin your moments," Gary said, causing Ash and Misty separate, "but we have a Pokemon army to deal with!!"

"Everybody, go!" Misty releases Politoed and Staryu, (Goldeen can't fight on land), then Psyduck pops out of its Poke-Ball, "Psyduck! Get back into your Poke-Ball!"

"Duck?"

"Oh well, you can stay out if you want." She grabs Ash's arm and pulls him away from the battle, "We need to talk."

"Now?" Ash said, ducking an Ice Beam.

        "Yes, now." Misty said, pulling Ash away.

        "Hey, where do you think you two love birds are going? We have a situation here!" Casey yells after them.

        "Do you mind?! This is damn important!" Misty bellows angrily, "It is?" Ash asks. Misty start pulling Ash away, leaving the bewilder Casey behind. They keep on running until they can hear any noise. 

        "Okay, what do you to want to talk about?" Ash asks looking over his shoulder, toward the direction they came from.

        Misty could tell that Ash is very antsy and want to get back in the battle. "I want to talk about you. What's wrong, you've been acting strange since yesterday."

        "You pull me away from the battle of the century to ask me this?" Ash asks coldly, but then Ash looks into Misty's aqua blue eyes. They showed concerned and worried. Ash's feature softens; he knows that Misty is caring about him, why though? Doesn't she hate me?  He asks himself.

        "Is it the League?" Misty asks looking at his eyes passionately.

        "Uh-huh, there is just so much pressure, I can't do it!" Ash said loudly.

        "Shh. It's okay," Misty said soothingly, pulling him into a hug, "Do you remember your dad?"

        "My dad? Yes, my dad." Ash said, feeling warmth surrounding him and Misty. "I remember him..."

        "Do you remember what your dad said to you before he died?" Misty keeps her voice as soft and soothing as possible. Ash's widens

-----Flash Back-----

        "Daddy! Where are you going?" Asks the four years old Ash.

        "I am going on a trip and I won't come back for every long time." Ash's dad said, picking him up and hugging him.

        "Daddy, I don't want you go!" Ash said as he starts crying.

        "Its okay, everything is going to be alright," The man reassures, rocking Ash in his strong and comfortable arms, "Ash, can you promise me something?"

        "Okay, daddy." Ash said, a little happier.

        "When you grow up, there will be a lot of challenges in your life, but it doesn't means that you have to give up. Promise me no matter how bad the odds are or how the task seen unable to complete, never give up."

        "Okay daddy."

        "That's my good boy." The man said, hugging the young Ash for one last time.

-----Flash Back Ends-----

        Ash can remembers that when he made that promise to his dad, he didn't know what his dad meant. But now he does, and he is not going to break that promise. Then Ash remembers that night, his father is found dead outside of Viridian City. Around him, fifty Team Rocket men with their Pokemon laid unconsciously around him. Everyone had thoughts that Team Rocket had kill Ash's dad, but Professor Oak pointed out that all of the Rockets are unconscious, that squashed their idea.

        After much inspection by the local police force, the police conclude that Jet, Ash's father, was killed by his own Pikachu's over charged Thunder. It has seems that Jet's Pikachu had single handedly defeat fifty Team Rocket members. But in result, Jet was also caught in one of those Thunders and he perished. Jet's Pikachu went back to Professor Oak's laboratory and that's how Ash's Pikachu came from.

        Misty felt Ash's head on her shoulder, she can feel Ash's tears had made her shoulder damp and moist, but she didn't move or say anything, as though as she feared to move.  After what seems to be an eternity, Misty slowly turns her head to look at Ash, "Ash?"

        Ash quickly lifts his head from her shoulder, he tightens the grip on Misty's waist, not wanting to let go. Their faces are inches apart, both of them blushes and turns away, "Yeah?"

        "Your dad... the Rockets didn't kill him, it was-" Misty was cut off by Ash.

        "I kinda figure that one out after researching the police data base when I was eight. Misty?" Ash asks, pulling away from the hug, looking passionately into her eyes.

        "Yeah?" Misty said, she was lost in his chocolate brown eyes.

        "Thank you for everything, even though you told me nothing that I don't know already, but for some reason, I am glad that you talked to me, Misty."

        "I wouldn't have it any other way, Ash."

        Their faces are still inches apart, then they both lean in, closing they eyes, they both could feel each other's warm breathes. Each other scent felt so inviting, both waiting and waiting for that one special moment...

        Before anything could've happened, an explosion from the other side of the forest makes them both jump, they pull away quickly and their trainer instincts makes them run to the direction of the battle, for they had put their friends in danger.

        As they are running, things goes through both of their head.

        Am I crazy, trying to kiss her?! I've must had one or too many burger during dinner. Ten is the record and I broke it. Yeah, must be the burgers. She's too perfect for me.

        Misty also got a share of Ash's mind. Almost. Damn it! Almost. But then again, he could of reject me and thinks I am a freak. Yeah, lucky that I didn't kiss him, he's too perfect for me.

        The both keeps on running, arriving the battlefield just in time to catch a doze of Water Gun, making them all soaked. Ash looks to their friends. Surrounded in a corner, most of their Pokemon have already fainted, only the strongest ones are barely standing. Then he spots Pikachu running toward him.

        "Hey guys, return your Pokemon and run back to the city. Call the cops, I'll take care of them." Ash tells his friends. They all hesitate at first, but after a while, they decide to follow Ash's plan. Ash turns and sees Misty return her Pokemon, but did not run. "Come on Misty, you too. Run."

        "If you're not going, I'm not going." Misty said, standing besides him and holds his hands. "Why couldn't we run?" Misty thinks for a while, "Oh yeah, you promise your dad to not give up, but is it worth it risking your life over it?"

        "Yes Misty. Grr. Sometimes I wish you are not as thickheaded as me. Can you see the only option is to run?" Ash said blushing, noticing Misty is holding his hand, he turns to look at the advancing Team Rocket Elites. "Come on, Misty, I am begging you here."

        Misty shakes her head firmly, "No."

        "Fine. Pik." Ash calls for Pikachu's attention, "Alright, it's all up you now, do you know any attack from your pika-dad?" Pikachu shakes his head. "Come on, try to remember, we are running out of time."

        Pikachu starts to pace in circles, thinking hard. Ash growls, "We need more time, Charizard, hold them off as long as you can." He turns to the pacing Pikachu, then to Misty. He opens his mouth to asks-

        "What part of 'no' understand? Shut up already, I won't leave as long as you stay here." Misty said, slightly annoyed.

        "NO!" Ash shouts as his Charizard is being throwing back. Charizard tries to get up but fail. "There goes my plan, we're doomed."

        "We need to buy more time." Misty said, watching the Team Rocket Elites advances mercilessly.

        "Lets give them everything we got! Everybody tell your Pokemon to launch their strongest attacks!" An Elites screams.

"Fire Blast!"

        "Hydro Pump!"

        "Sludge Bomb!"

        "Areoblast!"

        "Hyper Beam!"

        "Dragon Rage!"

        "Psychic!"

        All the attack merges as one, and then zooms its way over to the stunned heroes. One thing goes over their minds in this precise second, this is the end. They brace themselves for the hit, but nothing came. Everybody, our heroes and the TR Elites and shocked to see a tiny Togepi, blocking countless attacks with a Light Screen.

        After the attack had finally end, Misty runs up to the tired Togepi and hugs it tightly. "Togepi must have teleported here and then use Light Screen to block the attacks."

        "Pikachu!" (I got it!) Pikachu concentrate a small round yellow electrical energy above his head. Pikachu continues to charge up while the round energy above Pikachu's head increases in size. "Pika pikachu pi pikachu pipichu, pika pikachu pikachupi pipichu pikapichu pikachu chu pikachu." (This attack is called 'Shockwave of Doom', I'll send out an electrical shockwave, hitting everything in twenty meter radius as the shockwave travels. This attack will drain everything out of me, and I can't use any electrical attack in next week.)

        Ash nods to Pikachu, giving him the signal.

        "PIIIIKKKAAACHUUUUUUUUU!!!" (SHOCKWAVE OF DOOM!!!) Pikachu releases the energy ball on his head. The shockwave pass through everybody, consuming their consciousness on the way with it.

        "Togepi, Light Screen." Misty's voice is diminished by the earsplitting screams of the Team Rocket Elites. Togepi concentrate another Light Screen blocking the shockwave for a second, then the Light Screen gave out...

        "Misty, you are gonna be fine." Ash whispers to Misty. Ash jumps in front of Misty, using his body as a shield, blocking most of the attack. "AHH!!!" Everything blacks out...
