A tale of trainers love Love is a wondrous thing it connects to us all and beliefs say, that there is a man or woman for all of us in life previously Ash has found the loves of his life. First of course his Pokemon friends and battling to become the world's greatest Pokemon master and second, his love for his friends Brock and his true love to be Misty. Over time Ash has gotten stronger in heart and soul earning his Volcano and Earth badges and, Misty's heart now waiting to prepare for the infamous Pokemon league. Ash and his friends are resting in Pallet town thanks to Ash's mother as our heroes awake, to a new day wondering what surprises are in stored for them "Hey Brock what's for breakfast?". Or as Ash said wondering what's for breakfast as he wipes the sleep away from his eyes, as does Misty yawning walking into the kitchen smiling at Ash. "So Ash good morning have a nice sleep?" "Yup how about you Misty?", "Great just great man I had a beautiful dream last night and it was about you Ash". The young Pokemon master blushed at Misty's comment as both smiled, "Well its done sunny side eggs up for Ash and French toast for Misty" Brock passed about the gang's breakfast as well his own hot bacon strips. "Pikachu pi pika-morning Ash everyone" Pikachu said walking in happy as ever with Togepi riding on his back, "Pikachu Togepi hi good morning guys want some breakfast?" the cute Pokemon nodded happily and walked up to the table. "Say Ash since your feeding Pikachu why not let your other Pokemon have some breakfast too?" "Hey thanks Brock that's a good idea", Misty and Brock did the same they opened up their Pokeballs and let all their Pokemon eat up. Brock cooked some more food for each Pokemon they all loved it even Charizard behaved, of course he toasted his toast some more make it the way he likes it. "So Ash since you have all 8 badges guess you got some time on your hands until Pokemon league training?" Ash nodded to Misty, scarfing down his eggs Brock saw that Misty was blushing at something. "Good then cause today is a special day you know what it is Ash don't you?" Ash stopped eating for a second, then thought about it he couldn't guess. "Okay Misty I know today is when I get my allowance" the Cerulean sister grew redder then Charizard, she pulled out her jumbo mallet and bashed Ash in skull with it "You bone head today is our 1st anniversary of when we met. And as I recall that's also when you destroyed my bike and never paid back for, since you r allowance is today you might wanna think about paying for it" Ash got up throbbing from the mallet. "Wow Misty today is really when we first met gee man I think we ought to get ourselves some presents", "Yeah a bike would be nice don't you think?". Ash got the hint loud and clear and shoveled the rest of his breakfast down and went out the door, "Hey Ash honey where do you think your going?". Apparently Ash's mother stopped Ash before he could leave she yanked him back into the house, "Your not going anywhere until you clean your room its been a mess since you left". "Mom after all this time you never cleaned it?" "Well it's not my room now is it so start cleaning". Ash shrugged and walked up to his room moaning and groaning, Misty and Brock saw what happened and decided if they were going to spend anytime together they would have to help Ash out. "Man this really bites I was supposed to be shopping around with the guys but instead I'm here" Ash griped to himself, "Well it can't be a total loss can it now Ash?" he turned to see Misty, Brock, Pikachu, and Togepi holding cleaning tools to help. "You, you guys are really gonna help me out?" Brock patted his shoulder "Were best friends we'd help battle the army if we had to, well maybe not the whole army never mind". Ash and Misty giggled as they washed and wiped together getting ever spot the could find, Pikachu used his electricity to build a static charge attracting all of Ash's clothes to him making them easier to carry and move. Togepi squeaked as the baby Pokemon brushed the walls with his little scrub Brock, was a whiz with the vacuum and in no time at all Ash's room was spotless. "Wow thanks guys next time I'll keep my room clean so this will never happen again" Pikachu breathed a sigh of relief, "Chu pika pi-I hope so". After sneaking away from Ash's mother escaping anymore chores our heroes were off to se Pallet town up close and personal, the mall was the first and only stop after Ash and Misty stopped having World war 3. But before the day seemed like anything couldn't go wrong a certain voice of annoyance broke the silence of the skies, "Well, well look ladies if it isn't the greatest Pokemon loser Ash Ketchum" "What oh man its Gary Oak just what are you doing here?". Ash looked at his rival in rage Gary sucked back on his little soda can and replied rudely, "Well Ash if you really must butt in I'm taking a break having all 8 badges and practically done training for the Pokemon league. I can take a break heck forget training you don't need any when you're the best and nothing but the best", Ash couldn't take much more insults from Gary "Your wrong Gary you should never just stop you gotta train always to win in the Pokemon league". "Gary, Gary he's so cool, he is definitely no one's fool" the brash brat's cheerleaders cheered they stopped for there man to speak, "Hey now if it isn't the leader of the Pewter City gym Brock shouldn't I say ex-gym leader". Brock didn't know him as well Ash did but he did remember losing to him when he arrived there before Ash did, "Hi Gary yeah I quit my father took over for me you mind putting that out of your head". Gary shrugged and set eyes on Misty "I never met you though you'll probably too dense to even realize, how much a loser Ash really is why not come over to the winner's side". Misty was as madder then ever Ash couldn't take it either they both just wanted to punch out, Gary's mouth to shut him up "The dense person your referring to is my true love her name is Misty Waterflower". "Waterflower huh yeah now I remember you're a sister of the Cerulean sister gym leaders, funny though they got the beauty and the gym while you got the loser boyfriend and looks that could crack paint". Misty felt like a volcano about to burst Gary laughed his head off making her more madder each time, before any words were said Ash jumped in and with all his might punched Gary right in his jaw the teasing teen dropped like a rock. Mouth's from everyone watching dropped as well Ash and the other could only stutter at what they just saw, like in slow motion Ash watched his first slam right into Gary bruising his body and his ego. The cheerleaders quickly helped him up Ash couldn't say a word Misty told him, "A-Ash I uh thank you so much I-I never knew you h-had it in you" Ash heard her but didn't know what to do. A part of him was proud but another one felt sick for what he did Gary finally came to, "YOU rotten rat faced jerk I may have taunted you but I never thought you would have the balls to dot that". "Gary look I didn't mean to hurt you my anger got the best of me please I'm so", "Save it's not bag for what you did today its over now were no longer rivals anymore now were enemies. Not only will defeat you in battle at the Pokemon league but I will make sure that you look so stupid, people will be to embarrassed to eve look at you without talking about how much I will destroyed you". Ash felt terrible for what he did Gary stomped off warning him "Oh and Ash be afraid if me from now on because now, I will do anything and I mean anything it takes to bring you down". Pikachu comforted his sad trainer "Pikachu pi Pikachu chu pi pika-Ash its okay he's had this coming to him", "No Pikachu I always hated Gary for how he treated me but I never would have guessed I would be the one cheating like that". "Ash what are you talking about he insulted Misty its not cheating to fight back" Brock tried to help, "Brock you don't get it I always wanted to fight back in a battle I let my temper get the best of me and I punched him. If it happened again who knows who I might hurt Prof. Oak, my mom, Pikachu, my other Pokemon or even you guys. I can't let that happen I should just quit Pokemon training that way, I can get rid of my guilt and Gary can become the greatest Pokemon master like he always wanted to I don't deserve it". Ash cried with tears in his eye and ran from the mall leaving his friends behind needing time to think about what he'll do, "Ash come back come on Misty we gotta help him" "No Brock I'll do it he needs some one to comfort him. And I think he'll feel better with me there besides this might make the gift I'm giving him, a better chance of cheering him up coming Togepi Pikachu?". They nodded and ran off with Misty Brock decided no was a good as ever time to get his present for Ash, but he really was afraid of what might happen between him and Misty "Good luck Misty you'll need it". Meanwhile watching from a roof top above Team Rocket saw the whole fight of Ash and Gary, "Wow Jesse did you see that Ash knocked that twerp's block off" "Yes James I never knew the runt had it in him". "Meowth yeah and now his little woman down there is gonna cheer him up" Jesse James though about it for a few seconds and had a plan, "We got it its so brilliant even we can't mess it up this time". "Dats what you always say and you always mess it up anyway", the rocket lovers socked Meowth in his jaw shutting the cat Pokemon up. But Meowth quickly hopped up and slashed both their faces out and asked for their plan already, after recovering from Meowth's attack they explained "Well you see with the brat's feeling crushed he's vulnerable now. Yes and with his girl going to cope with him it'd be the perfect time to swoop in and swipe all their Pokemon", Jesse and James were quite impressed with themselves. They flew off in their Meowth headed balloon and followed Misty who was unaware she was being followed, Ash was crying his heart out in the Viridian forest angry with himself but then saw some one next to him a boy who walked up to him. "Hi you're sad too huh man seems like tonight is a pretty sad night my name's John, John Stellar", "Well I'm Ash Ketchum I'm a Pokemon trainer or at least I was I'm not sure anymore". "Wow so am I so tell me why are you here all alone by yourself don't you have friends?", Ash smiled he was surprised at how kind this kid was he told him everything about Misty their relationship and Gary's fight. "Oh man so that's why you're afraid that if you keep going with them you might lose your temper and hurt them like Gary", Ash nodded feeling terrible "But Ash it only happened this once besides Gary was a jerk you said it yourself he insulted your girlfriend. I'm proud of you Ash you stood up to a life long bully showing him what's what, and you are so lucky a lot more lucky than I am anyway". Ash didn't understand what he meant "Hey John what do you mean you look like you got a great life", John sighed and brushed his night sly blue hair from his face. John decided he explained himself he first pulled out a picture from his leather jet flyers jacket, he showed it to Ash it was a picture of a beautiful young girl. The beauty had shortly cut brown hair inches away from her passionate brown eyes, she had a gentle face and such and slim body just perfect John thought. "That is my best friend in my life her name Jenny Angelic I call her Ginee for short I truly love her", "John that's wonderful what's to be sad about if you have someone like her in your life?". "She doesn't even know I exist we met talking on the Internet once just, chatting about things then we came closer and closer we wrote poems and songs to each other. It was wonderful I actually had fallen in love with a girl I never even met later on, we exchanged pictures and we saw each other we talked about how we wanted to meet but. We lived so far away from each other I live here in Viridian City and she's all the way in Saffron City, we could fly but our parents didn't agree to us meeting to dangerous they said. So after a while I stopped hearing from her first 3 letters than 1 than none I figure she has a boyfriend now, one who could take care of her giver her what she needs what can I do I'm only a memory to her." Ash was truly touched by that and looked at John and never knew, how far love could actually travel from one distance to another the Pallet trainer saw a tiny tear come down from John's face. "Well enough about me what kind of Pokemon you have Ash good ones?" John snapped him out of a staring trance of sorts, "Oh sorry John well let's see I have lots of kinds actually a Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Charizard, Pikachu even a Muk. But my best friend out of them is Pikachu we are truly life long pals I never want to hurt a great friend, like him or any of my other Pokemon you?" John decided to show him he pulled out a Pokeball and he opened it up. The energy materialized into a red wolf creature with white fur and a fearsome face, "Ash I would like you to meet my best Pokemon friend and my only Pokemon Arcanine". The canine Pokemon howled his heart out and licked John's face happy to see his friend again, "Hey Arcanine thanks I love you too ha, ha here I would like you to meet Ash say hello". Arcanine barked and sniffed Ash who was a little nervous but liked Arcanine, he petted him on his head they liked each other John was surprised. "Wow Arcanine usually barks at strangers but he seems to have a sense of truly kind people", Ash thanked Arcanine for being so kind as he did John for sharing with him. Then before either could leave Ash heard a call from behind he saw Misty and Pikachu running for him, "Hey Ash wait up we have to talk please listen to me for a second Pika pi" the 2 friends of Ash called to him. As they came up John and Arcanine introduced their selves and Ash said he was going to leave, "Look Misty I've decided I'm going to stop being a trainer after what I did too Gary today. Who knows what might happen if we get into another fight, I could hurt you or someone else I'm giving up my Pokemon to you and Brock I don't deserve them". Misty and Pikachu couldn't believe what they were hearing they watched Ash grab for his other Pokeballs, but then a cloud of smoke fogged in from the woods. "Prepare for trouble yes and make it double" said the voices from no where John searched from where they were coming from, Ash finally saw he pointed to the sky and saw the Meowth headed balloon. "To protect the wold from devastation to untie all people's with in our nation, to denounce the evils of truth and love to extend our reach to the stars above. Jesse James Team Rocket blast off at the speed of light, surrender now or prepare to fight Meowth that's right" the motto was said as Team Rocket hovered above our heroes. "We heard you were quitting Pokemon training so figured Pikachu needs a new trainer, yes and we are just the ones to take it off your hands". Jesse and James mocked as Ash was enraged by their comments of taking Pikachu, "Well its true I'm quitting but Pikachu isn't yours at all nor is any of my other Pokemon so buzz off". "Buzz off ha dats a laugh your nothing to us no more send in da troops" the gangster cat cried as Jesse and James released their Pokemon out, Arbok and Weezing lined up for battle on the ground "Arbok Weezing get that Pikachu and get rid of those twerps". The twin rockets and the Pokemon ran straight for Ash he called out Pikachu, "Pikachu quick use electric shock" "Pikachuuu" the electric rodent dished out his blasting bolts. The poison Pokemon were fried sizzling thanks to Pikachu but it seemed both Pokemon were still standing then Pikachu saw it, Pikachu pi pika pi chu Pikachu-Ash their covered in something". Pikachu was right Misty looked hard and saw it, "Hey those guys are covered in some kind of plastic that's why there still okay Ash" the laughter of Jesse and James echoed threw out the land. "Fools we coated our Pokemon with new substance made by yours truly, we call it Blastic it takes a zapping with no napping" the 2 crooks giggled as their Pokemon attacked. "Weezing smokescreen and blind them" "Weezing weez-eat smoke" the gas blasting beast, blinded everyone with a dark smoke cloud no one could see "Now Arbok finish them off with your tail whip". The wicked cobra whacked away everyone but Pikachu as Arbok wrapped him up with bind, "No cough Pikachu" Ash said choking on the fumes as Arbok and Weezing returned to Team Rocket with Pikachu. "WE did it we finally won Team Rocket has da Pikachu so long suckers" Meowth cackled, as the gang began to float away but it wasn't over yet Arcanine had hawk eye vision. The wolf Pokemon saw threw the smoke and leaped out blowing it away from the others, "Way to go Arcanine now use flame-thrower" the fire shooting Pokemon listened. The fire blasted from his mouth toward the balloon Pikachu smiled from inside his little Blastic bag, Jesse and James looked too late as the flame scorched everyone on the balloon. Apparently Blastic isn't fire proof as it melted right off Arbok Weezing and Pikachu, Pikachu pi pika Pikachuuu-time for payback guys" Pikachu said as he electrocuted Team Rocket. The mighty mouse jumped from the balloon as Weezing's gas as usual caught the zaps sparks, igniting him and blowing up the balloon for miles to the ground Team Rocket dropped before they could say anything. Pikachu landed in Ash's arms they hugged happy to be together again the gang thanked John, and his Arcanine they walked off saying that they'll see em again soon. "Well Ash it looks like Team Rocket's gone and were alone you want, to talk about your problem now?" Ash frowned at her "Look Misty I love you with all my heart but I don't know what to do ever since Gary I'm just unsure on everything lately." The caring girl comforted her love and they talked Pikachu listened to them Togepi did too, "Misty no offense but I don't think you could ever feel the way I am now I doubt that you were ever in a spot. Where you just couldn't think of anything else but giving up" "Actually Ash I have and its awful truly awful", Ash saw this was upsetting her to talk about he put his hand on hers and said. "Its okay tell me anything you want I'm here" they both looked into each others eyes and saw the glitter of love, Misty sucked in her gut and began her life story "It all started when I was little and my parents were still around". "In Cerulean City my parents used to be pretty rich not like James but close to, my father and mother met swimming they both loved the water its feeling its color. Everything it just fascinated them so I guess that's why I loved water Pokemon my whole life, after a while they started dating and sooner or later they got married and had 4 kids. My sisters always treated me like dirt but my dad would always be there for me, no matter how stupid the problem or too important he would help me. He'd drop all his work just to swim with the family and play games with us all the time, after a while we all got older and plans for the Cerulean City gym began. Since my sisters were older Daisy Lily and Violet became the new gym leaders, I was always jealous that I couldn't be in the spotlight like them. Well one day I got in a fight with my sisters we screamed at each other my mother couldn't take it, she told us she needed some air and went for a drive. Hours passed no mom then my dad got homer and called the police after a while they found her but, it wasn't in a good way a huge car accident broke out. 5 cars got their signals mixed and they crashed killing 3 out of the 5 people, one of them was my mother no one knew what started the accident it just happened". Ash couldn't believe it he never knew anything about Misty hearing this just hurt him, he always knew his mother but his father he couldn't remember all he heard was that he was last seen. Near Viridian City and that was it but Ash cleared his mind and focused on Misty she cried her eyes into tears Ash hugged her tightly, "Misty come on its okay I am deeply sorry for your mom but your crying like its your fault". "You don't get it Ash do you my mom left because me and my sisters fought if I had never gotten angry at them, mom would have never left she would have avoided the crash I k-killed my mother oh". The heart broken girl cried her little heart and soul out she collapsed into Ash's lap he held her and felt truly terrible, he knew he was wrong she had it much more worse than he thought. The 10-year- old trainer lifted her head up gently and kissed her "Misty please listen, everything happens for a reason I know that sometimes it can be hard but you gotta believe me". "Oh Ash there I no reason my mom had to die she never deserved death" Misty shouted Ash stepped back, seeing how mad she was but Misty looked herself and apologized she obviously lost it for a moment there. "Man sorry Ash I guess we all get a little crazy sometimes huh? I never told anyone about my parents I hope you'll keep this from Brock please". Her young loving friend nodded and they hugged Pikachu and Togepi joined in too she felt much better, and now so did Ash they both were straight on their feelings "Pikachu chu pika pi-what happened after that Misty?". Misty for once understood him she smiled and answered "Sure Pikachu well after that my dad started to change he got more concerned with work, and we barley ever got to see him anymore guess mom's death wasn't leaving my dad anytime soon. Then one night I got up late at night going to get some water to help me sleep, then I heard Daisy and my dad arguing Daisy seemed to take mom's death harder than anyone. I heard her say "Look mom is gone I know that but you can't keep avoiding us mom wouldn't want that for us", "You don't think I know that its been bothering me every day and night I can't imagine how Misty feels" my father argued back. "Misty? If it wasn't for her none of this would have happened its" "Her fault I knew you didn't like her but I never knew you could sink that low, it was a car accident she is not at fault no one is. We'll finish this in the morning we don't want to wake anyone up good night" my dad went up so did Daisy luckily, they never saw me watching them my mind was racing I didn't know what to do. So I panicked grabbed most of my stuff and, went off leaving them behind blocking it out of my mind hopefully my sisters did the same as I became a Pokemon trainer". Misty finished her saddening tale as Ash was there to make her feel better he kissed her, Pikachu and Togepi did she blushed and laughed they all felt better. "Guess its time t be heading back and Misty I'm sorry I ever said things like that you too Pikachu can you guys forgive me?" Pikachu and, Misty smiled they ran to him and hugged him tighter than possible he knew that was a yes as they walked back to Pallet town. Meanwhile stuck in a tree tangled in their own balloon Team Rocket heard the whole thing, "Oh my that was a beautiful and such a sad story poor kid, yeah Jesse I actually feel sorry for attacking those kids". "I'll make you all feel sorry if you guys don't get off my back now" Meowth whined as the were lying their bodies, on Meowth's before they could the tree branch they were on. Snapped as the rocket gang fell straight to the ground conking their heads they moaned and groaned then a mysterious figure, spoke he hid his face from their faces "So you guys want that Pikachu huh?" Jesse and James looked at each other. After thinking about it they nodded yes the figure smiled an evil grin, "Good then you guys do exactly as I say and we'll both get what we want deal?" "Meowth deal but wait a minute. What's in dis ting for you if you don't want der Pokemon?", the figure walked into the moon light showing his face it was Gary Oak angry as ever. "Oh let's just say giving some payback to little Ashy boy will do me just fine ha, ha, ha". Night had ended and day was already well going on as Ash Misty and Bock did their shopping feeling happier than ever, then they ran into John Stellar again "Hi John how have you been lately?". The Arcanine trainer smiled and replied "Great I just got a letter from Ginee she is actually flying, all the way here from Saffron City we are finally gonna meet but want this to be special". "Well me and Ash are having our anniversary party at Prof. Oak's lab, why don't you join take Ginee as your date?" John was greatly excited by Misty's proposal and he agreed. He decided to shop with them getting a gift wasn't easy though. Over threw all the stores John found nothing Ash only found one thing for Misty, Pikachu was able to hide it from her but he knew it wasn't good enough. Brock came along finally after getting smacked by an army of angry teenaged girls who, he tried to ask out "Hey Ash who's this?" John introduced himself and then they told Brock the problems they had. "Brock since you're a girl expert I guess we figured you would know the best thing to get for some one for Misty", "Yeah and I need for something for my girlfriend Ginee she's coming tonight at 7:00" Brock saw the clock. It was 5:56 they only had an hour and 4 minutes to prepare "Okay guys well Ash you got a good gift for now, and John what have you got?" John was about to tell him he had nothing but then. "Wait I do have something I just forgot it my parents gave it to me a year ago" John reached into leather jacket pockets, searching for the gift he had finally he found it and pulled it out. Pikachu sneaked and peak first with his keen eyes and said "Pikachu pi-holy Pokemon" Ash and Brock saw it and, practically fainted "You had that all along and forgot that thing is really expensive". "Man John how could you afford that thing?" "Well just a lot of luck and, hard determination oh and a lucky lotto ticket I found once ha, ha" Ash and Brock thought that this kind of gift should only be used. In case of true love situations but John soon said that he would do anything for Ginee and they soon agreed, John was about to make a truly hard decision but he was willing to go threw with it. Plus Brock has just the surprise to go with it their gifts he whispered to them what to do, meanwhile Misty was waiting on a bench for Ash and the others to come back. After chatting long enough Misty grabbed Brock by his ears and, wanted to talk to him in private "Listen up lover boy I need to ask you something and you better keep your mouth shut about it". Of course Brock had no choice but to listen she actually the got soft on him "Okay you see, I need a personal opinion I got my gift for Ash and I don't know if he'll like it or not. So tell me do you think he'll like this?" she showed him her gift, it was a beautiful crystal pendant with spades having Pokemon pictures inside it. It had a Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and a Butterfree, "I got it at the gift shop when we were at Cinnabar Island it said pendant of friendship and love". Brock smiled and told her that he knew Ash would truly like this she was glad as she hugged him, both Ash and Misty had something special planned for each other of course little gifts would be exchanged. But since they needed more Brock gave them both an idea for something true and original they agreed it would be perfect, hours went by as Ash Misty and John prepared themselves for their gifts. 7:00 chimed in as it was time for Ginee to arrive Misty offered to do it since it was girl to girl, Misty borrowed a rental car from the nearest Pokemon center and drove to the Pallet airport station. "Oh boy is Ginee gonna be surprised when she sees what John has for her", Misty thought to herself as she pulled up to the curb and held up the name sign to look for Ginee Togepi came out too wandering around. The little baby Pokemon saw some candy at a popcorn maker machine and walked over to it, Misty was so busy looking for Ginee she never noticed him missing until she looked behind her back. "Huh what oh no Togepi come here Togepi where are you?" Misty searched and searched, but no Togepi then she saw him climbing into the bin of popcorn spilling out butter. "Togepi no that butter is too hot for you'll be burned come here" she ran as Togepi, was about to fall into the bin. Misty ran and was inches away from grabbing her pet baby Pokemon but she tripped and flew toward the popcorn machine, at the last second Togepi saw a popcorn piece pop out from the machine he jumped down from the bin edge. Misty was in shock as she missed him and headed right for the popcorn bin she screamed as loud as she could, BAM the young girl landed right into the bin like a rock smashing threw a window. The container above her head spilled butter it poured all over head body and, dripped from her legs "Great butter from head to toe what else could happen?". She got a rude answer as popcorn dumped down from above onto her head sticking on like glue, and then a window opened up and a flock of Pidgey and Spearow started eating the popcorn from her body. "Get off me you mangy scavengers I swear if you weren't Pokemon I'd cook you for dinner" the butter covered girl yelled, as she stomped out from the bin grabbing Togepi and went back to looking for Ginee. Misty felt awful as the butter bubbled on her skin and as Togepi slowly picked piece by piece of popcorn, from her body finally after 5 minutes of laughter and teasing she found Ginee who almost began to burst out laughing herself. "Say anything at all on how I look and you'll look like this too" after hearing Misty's tone, Ginee stood out of her way as she was driven home and dropped off at the Pokemon center. John would soon meet her there Misty however drove right for Ash's house and ran right for then shower, but not until Ash asked her "Hey Misty what happened you get thrown in a microwave with some Jiffy pop or something ha, ha". Pikachu ducked as he saw the anger on Misty she grabbed Ash by his shirt collar "You finding something funny about how I look do you?", "N-No Misty you look f-fine" Ash stammered as Misty went back to the shower. But on before she heard Ash crack another joke and she bashed him with her mallet Pikachu sighed, then headed straight for the ketchup bottle while Ash got something to an ice pack. Ash decided to do something he hadn't done in a while watch T.V he flipped it on and saw a news flash, "This just in Pokemon Pallet town trainer Gary Oak who was one of the 2 top Pokemon trainers is now missing". "What?" Ash and Pikachu were in shock they listened up, "After getting a previous fight with other top trainer Ash Ketchum the angry trainer was last seen in the Viridian forest. "Oh man Gary is missing hey Pikachu do you think Gary ran away cause of me?" "Pi-no", "Why not I punched him and now it was just announced on national T.V?". Pikachu responded politely seeing Ash was concerned with this (Poke translator on), "Gary was always your rival and he told you earlier that he would do anything to make you look stupid. So since you won't give up training to become a Pokemon master then he wouldn't stop, trying to humiliate you by running away now would he?". (Poke translator off" Ash agreed with Pikachu "Yeah I guess your right even though he's a jerk, I wonder where he is now or what's happening to him" indeed what is Gary doing now with Team Rocket. Down deep down below the Viridian City gym Jesse and James are returning with Gary to their boss, they enter the secret passage Gary was impressed that Team Rocket was this immensely resourceful. "So this is your secret base huh pretty neat so where is your all mighty boss guys?" "Shh be quiet he's right down here, we don't want him knowing we" "Screwed up" Meowth's sentence was caught off. Thanks to the dark booming voice of their boss or better known to the world as Giovanni, "Well, well if it isn't Jesse James and Meowth the biggest disappointments in Rocket history". The mysterious man petted his Persian while he looked down upon Gary curious like his Pokemon, "Meowth well ya see we got something for ya" "If its another pathetic rare Pokemon as that Togepi you showed me last week forget it". "No boss we would like to introduce you to a soon to be rocket member Gary Oak", "Gary, Gary he's the one beating trainers he does for fun" the cheerleaders of Gary Oak cheered in as they followed Team Rocket. "You idiots enough with the small talk and get to the point, Gary why exactly do you want to join?" "Hey wait a minute I know you hey yeah your Giovanni the gym leader who attacked me with that evil Pokemon". Gary remembers well as Giovanni used Mewtwo on Gary as a test, during their Pokemon battle "Yes but I assure you that evil Pokemon is of no use to me anymore. But as for you I can see the fire in your eyes you have hatred and anger in your blood I like your spunk, okay Gary you can may join if you and you 3 can capture at least one rare Pokemon for me". Gary agreed and Jesse and James were sure than ever they will finally capture Pikachu they were off, back at Ash's house Ash was pounding on the bathroom door calling her to get ready for John and Ginee meeting up. "Misty you have been in their for hours we need to get moving", "All right already keep your shirt on this butter isn't easy stuff to clean off you know" after they stopped complaining. Misty and Ash were on their way with John he jumped for joy on their way to the center, "Oh man this is it finally I get to meet the girl of my dreams what to say oh man I'm breaking up". Ash calmed John down "Look buddy just be calm you wanna make a good impression don't you then just take it easy", John knew he was right they opened the door and sitting their on the couch was Ginee. The mouths of Ash and John dropped down wide at a mere glance at Ginee "Man pictures are nothing compared to life", "Yeah man I'd love to be her pen pal huh Pikachu" "Pika-yeah". Misty twitched as she saw her boy going Brock all over Ginee she was glad she brought her mallet, BAM! "Ouch what was that for?". "Maybe your pen pal can write up a hospital bill for you if you don't stop going gaa, gaa over her", Ash understood and backed off as John walked up to Ginee both exchanged eye glances. The young writers were speechless they had finally met John could only say, "Wow Ginee this is just this is so great you're here you look gorgeous". Ginee blushed from her cute little face and blinked her baby brown eyes at John he blushed too, "Well its nice to meet you Ginee John told me so much about you". Ash said as he introduced himself as did Brock who also went gaa, gaa eyed on her, thankfully a quick double fist in the face from John and Misty brought him back to his senses. "Ginee John told us what he knows about you how about you tell us about yourself huh?", "Why sure thanks Misty well me and John have been friends for life and its been a dream come true to meet you. Further I feel like we belong together forever but I have met some older boys that, want to be my boyfriends so I'm not too sure then with you and me and them". John wanted to cry but he held it in and told her softly "Ginee I'm not demanding you be deep friends with me or anything, you choose who you want as a friend its okay with me". Ginee could see the love in John's eye she was so touched but her mixed feelings got the best of her, John saw she needed time and quickly changed the subject. "So uh Ginee I here you're a Pokemon trainer too I'm not much of one, I only have one but he's my nest friend" Ginee smiled quite ecstatic at what she heard. "Well that's actually weird cause I have only one too and, she's also my best friend here I'll show you" the beautiful girl pulled out a Pokeball and popped it open showing her only Pokemon. "Vapor" said the creature it was a female Vaporeon "Hey a Vaporeon where did you ever find one I heard there rare?", "Well I was just looking out in the water one day minding my own business then a tail came out of the ocean it was a Vaporeon. But instead of hurting it I showed it some Pokemon fish food it came to me like a dog, then before you knew it I had caught my first and only Pokemon". John couldn't stop blushing Misty was romanced at how the 2 gazed at each other, "Oh Ash its so beautiful to watch 2 people fall in love isn't it?" but instead she found herself talking to the wall. Ash was trying to fix his hair in the mirror until he saw Misty getting bright red, "Hi Misty just fixing my hair for tonight" BAM Misty kicked him right in the face Ash flinched on the floor. "Next time you go off like that I'll help fix knock your head off got it?" he barely nodded to Misty she turned back, to John and Ginee they were admiring their Pokemon John's Arcanine was friendly with Vaporeon. As Ash was standing up Pikachu saw something in the Pokemon's eyes instead, he saw as the 2 creatures of water and fire couldn't stop staring at each other placing paw on top of paw. "Pika, pika pi Pikachu pika pi-wow their Pokemon are in love" Ash got up in time to hear Pikachu speak he was surprised, "Pikachu are you sure?" he nodded back and saw them talking. In there own Pokemon language (Poke translator on) "Ash did Pikachu just say that Arcanine and Vaporeon are in love?", "Yeah hey their talking again Pikachu what are they saying?". Pikachu watched and began to translate for his human friends "Arcanine says that Vaporeon actually makes him feel good, even though there water and, fire her water doesn't sizzle his fur in fact. He says that water she's dripping on him feels good Arcanine says that John has always had deep feelings for Ginee, Vaporeon is worried that Ginee is between friends and can't decided who to stay with. Both wish the 2 kids would stay together but even if they are their life long friends, they can't force them but they will defend one another in any site of danger Arcanine and Vaporeon were impressed. By each others courage and they say if their trainers get together then, so can they I just hope they do (Poke translator off)". By the time Arcanine had stopped translating what the Pokemon were saying John and Ginee, were done getting reacquainted with each other and were set to head off to the party. Ash and Misty called up Brock and said there on their way as they picked up Pikachu and Togepi and headed out, "Preee togi, togi" "Pikachu pika pi chu-I hope they get together too Togepi". The 2 Pokemon preyed that after tonight's anniversary party John and Ginee will get it together, like Ash and Misty did meanwhile party crashers watched over the walking dates from above. "Okay girls and guys get ready cause after tonight Ash will wishing he gave up Pokemon training when I'm done with him", Gary said whispering to Team Rocket already inside the lab waiting to strike. Brock met up with them at the lab "Hey guys you all look great Ginee man you look unbelievable would you um, care for a second date my little heart throb". John snarled at Brock "Yes she does so if you don't mind" Ginee broke them the 2 up from fighting, "Now John I can speak for myself you know now Brock BUZZ OFF GO BUG SOMONE ELSE". Brock obviously got the message and kept quiet Ash held arms with Misty smiling back at each other happily, John saw Ash wink at him he got the message as well and held arms with Ginee. The party was great everyone was there Jenny's Joy's even Ash's mom "Mom what's with the camera?", his kind mother laughed "Oh Ash I'm not gonna miss my son's first anniversary now am I say Pikachu". Ash and Misty as she took at least 20 shots after escaping her they met up with, "Prof. Oak hey how have you been professor?" "Oh fine Ash just fine I still don't know how you talked me into having your party here". "Probably cause you really believe in my chances of becoming a Pokemon master" Oak was perplexed for a second, then remembered what he was going to say "Now know its cause you told me Gary was missing. Then your mom sweet- talked me on how this huge party might attract Gary" Ash was totally embarrassed, Oak then ran off hearing things break around the room. "Now you listen if I find anything broken your all gonna get an earful of me yelling at you", meanwhile Ash was nervous as Misty wondered about Ash getting this place for uses. "So ASH looks like you and Oak aren't as buddy buddies as you said if you had to sweet talk the deal into it huh?", Pikachu and Togepi giggled as they watched Ash try and get out of this. Ash though saved his hide by giving Misty some punch and, made a break for the bathroom Pikachu couldn't stop giggling. Until he got some punch himself and for Togepi they drank and partied on, after hours of dance music a slow song came on requested by Brock to make the lover birds feel right at home. Ash laughed lightly and asked Misty "Miss would you care to dance with me?", she gently kissed him on the cheek "Does that answer your question I think so" they ran out to dance John though couldn't. He knew that Brock had the song put on so he could get closer to Ginee but he was so nervous then, Pikachu yanked on his leg and talked to him "Hey Pikachu I know you want me to dance but I don't know if I an do it". "Pikachu pika pi-need a booster huh?" he nodded and Pikachu had just the thing they held hands together, "Pikachuuu" the mini monster zapped John with all his juice inside him luckily giving him the courage he needed. John slowly walked up to Ginee appearing to be waiting for something more like someone, "Hi Ginee you look bored so I was thinking would you care to maybe want to" "Dance". The young teen lover was surprised she knew what he wanted "How you'd know?", "You see I wasn't bored or anything like that I was waiting for someone". "Really who?" "Give you a hint he's tall, shy, cute, and I'm dancing with him right now", both smiled and danced pacing back in forth not ever wanting the night to end. Time flew by and loves filled the air from our caring trainers Prof. Oak and Ash's mother were proud, of the kids at helping one another who had the same problem they did a while ago. "Well time is almost about u for tonight and were all here to congratulate the 2 kids we have been waiting all our lives, to get together Ash and Misty" Brock said cheering on with the crowd t our blushing couple they waved back. "Now I believe Ash you have something to say before we get onto the big surprise don't you?" the rock trainer, turned the microphone and the spotlight over to Ash who stood up ready to say his few words. "Thanks all of you thanks now tonight we are supposed to be focused on me and Misty's big anniversary, but later today if it wasn't for her and a special friend who is in this very room with us now he is at the back table. He is John Stellar a true hero thanks to him me and, Misty staying together would have been a dream that would not come true. He opened his heart to his beautiful girlfriend Ginee over there and, he did the same to me sharing all he cared and shared to a perfect stranger. So John the floor is yours" "And Ginee get ready because after what you're about to see, I think your mind will be made up for sure about who you love" Misty said closing it with Ash and giving it to John. "Well Ginee I have wanted to tell you this ever since I saw your beautiful face whether we talked, or just fooled around I knew you were the one but before I go any further me and the others. Have a big surprise for everyone ready guys?" John asked but instead of Ash in co. answering other voices boomed in taking control, "Oh yeah your right about that Johnny Stinker okay guys time for the show to truly begin". The speakers around the stage boomed with a different beat as 4 masked figures came out from nowhere, singing a haunting song "You know us as Team Rocket and we fight for what is wrong. Were tired of our motto, so we thought we'd try a song Jesse James the speed of light prepare to fight Meowth dats right. I am the handsome one I'm the gorgeous one looking good is lots of fun, we get some things wrong but we keep rolling along. We want to capture Pikachu we hope to do it soon cause when we do, well be the new stars of this cartooooooon and Gary wants him too". The mouths of everyone their dropped wider than a dump trucks back, Gary laughed evilly wearing a white suit just like Jesse and James Prof. Oak took it mostly bad. "Gary Oak what in blazes are you doing with Team Rocket, we have been looking all over for you" "Save it gramps I don't need any more lies and boos from you people anymore. Whenever I got a badge or a rare Pokemon who got the attention Ash who gets help from, my own grandfather instead of me Ash and who will be taught a lesson here tonight by yours truly Ash". The young Pokemon master was in shock he knew Gary wanted him to lose but he never even dreamed he could, turn over to Team Rocket Ash quickly got up and talked to Gary. "Wait hold up Gary look we need to talk" "Well, well if it isn't the man of the evening what do you want to do now punch me in front of everyone from Pallet town. No need to everyone already saw it on the news" "Look Gary I'm sorry I let my anger get the best of me you don't deserve anything like that", the new rocket member laughed at Ash's attempt to make him stop. "Please give me a break you are the one everybody cares about, whether you get a Pokemon or a cold its Ash center of the whole stinking universe Ketchum". Prof. Oak tried to step in but Gary shunned him out like he did Ash not listening to anyone Jesse and James, began to call in the rockets in mere seconds the lab was surrounded by black suited men. With vacuum machines just ready to suck up all the Pokemon Ash and his friends were worried, Gary is preparing to bring out his Pokeballs it appears he will use them to take out Ash once and for all. "Oh me oh my how time flies when your having fun right Ashy?, I remember when we were little happiest friends on the block good thing my eyes finally developed to see the truth. "Gary please you can't do this we don't want to fight we want to help and be your friends" Misty tried, pleading for Gary to halt but he only mocked her and made fake tears and boo hooing noises. "Even his girlfriend wants to me to stop well obviously you all need hearing aids, I told you this before Ash and I'll tell you again I will do anything and I mean anything to bring you down attack now". Team Rocket invaded like a swarm of locust's they smashed every thing in their path, sucking up Pokeballs by the dozen Ash didn't know what to do Gary's Pokemon came out and blocked any hope of escaping. "Oh Ash what are we gonna do we have to stop them" "I know Misty but there's so many, I don't think we can take them all on alone" "No Ash your not alone we'll help right Ginee? right!". Ash smiled with great hopes now that Ginee and John would lend their Pokemon to help, Brock then brought up Prof. Oak and Ash's mom keeping them safe and making a plan. "Now professor are all the Pokemon you keep for the other trainers still in your lab?" Prof. Oak saw what Brock was getting at, "Yes your right I'll get Ash's extra Pokemon and let them help him out against Team Rocket". "Pikachuuu" Pikachu zapped each rocket with all his might keeping them away from Prof. Oak, then a crazed rocket attacked Ginee the shocked girl screamed as the rocket grabbed her Pokeball. "You wont' be needing this anymore ha, ha" then a tap on his shoulder, made him turn back only to be blasted away by a stream of fire thanks to Arcanine who howled at the moon. "Looks like you'll be needing a jail cell now punk you all right?" "Yeah thanks a lot you saved my ah duck get em Vaporeon", another rocket planned to tackle John from behind luckily Ginee saw him and sent out her Vaporeon. Seeing the angry Pokemon the rocket backed off Jesse ran in and took over, "You chicken just suck em up like this ha, ha" Jesse activated her vacuum reversing air pulled on Vaporeon. But Ginee knew her Pokemon was stronger than Team Rocket "Oh yeah Vaporeon water gun now", the mermaid Pokemon nodded and blasted out high pressurized water from her mouth. Jesse's vacuum holes filled up rapidly with water and before she knew they exploded water logging, out of conscious John and Ginee slapped high fives and hugged each other tight. For a split second they saw star glittering their eyes a feeling of love came over both, "Uh guys a little help over here" said Brock trying to give Oak some time to get the Pokemon. "Rooooar" said Nidoking and Gary's massive poisonous Pokemon drilled threw tables, with his drill horn attack while Alakazam and Jolteon blasted people with their electric and psychic attacks. "Yes, yes yippee Team Rocket is finally winning huh Jesse what happened to you?", the angry female crook grabbed James's shirt then dragged him over to where Ginee and John are. "So you look to ruin our fun huh well guess again" "We ruin the fun and have fun doing it", Oak finally found the secret passage way to the Pokemon storage room "Yes its here okay you 2 hold them off I'll Ash's Pokemon". Jesse and James heard every word that Oak said and dashed toward him but, John and Ginee guarded him well as they side kicked both rockets in the gut away. "So you wanna play rough huh well Arbok Weezing attack them" Team Rocket's own Pokemon duo came out, preparing to battle Arcanine and Vaporeon meanwhile Ash and the others used their Pokemon to back off Gary's. Gary had used Alakazam Cloyster Nidoking Doduo Seadra and Jolteon to battle Ash in co, "Okay Pikachu Mew slow them down" the 2 teamed Pokemon blasted Alakazam and Jolteon right off their feet. The getting back up and chasing the 2 with electric shocks and psybeams, Ash's Pokemon couldn't stop panicking until they were cornered. "Don't worry Pikachu Mew time for some fast attacks", Mew and Pikachu jumped their little legs out speeding Alakazam and Jolteon. "Now guys together thunder shock and super punch" the 2 Pokemon combined their powers and blasted Gary's goons out of the fight, "No Staryu come on you can do it" Misty had major trouble as Cloyster and Seadra matched Staryu out move for move. A few of Cloyster's spike cannons stopped him cold Misty pulled out another Pokeball to help Staryu, "Don't' worry Staryu help is on the way Misty calls Goldeen" but instead of Goldeen a certain yellow little duck showed up. "Psy yai, yai" Psyduck no I didn't want you" the chubby duck looked at her puzzled with stupidity, "Well as long as your out get up and start attacking scratch them or something" Psyduck nodded and ran. Swiping his little duck claws at Cloyster and Seadra who were totally unaffected by his puny attack, after they stopped laughing Cloyster clamped his shell right over Psyduck's head. And Seadra had fun smacking his little behind with his sharp tail "Psy yai, yai duck yai Psy-ouch me doing good Misty?", after hearing that Misty began to bang her head on the table. Not believing she is getting this much humility but then she saw Psyduck's head glowing, "Well Misty your obviously no match for my Pokemon care to quit loserette?" Misty ignored him comment. Psyduck then kicked in his ultimate headache attack Cloyster Seadra and Gary were in the shock of their lives, "We'll see who loses Psyduck use confusion no Cloyster and Seadra". The powered up quacker used all his headache strength and made Cloyster and Seadra turn on Gary, "Hey wait guys its m-me your trainer get back now or else you traitorous" but Cloyster and Seadra ignored him. Then chased their master shooting him non-stop "Cheaters oh Nidoking you and Doduo do something now", listening to their rude master Nidoking and Doduo charged for Misty. But before the off guarded girl could be struck she heard a bashing noise, she saw Brock helping her up as Onix and Golbat battled the new monsters. The rock snake Onix was strong enough to bash threw Nidoking's hard rock like skin, the purple poison Pokemon repelled him back with his drilling drill horn. "Ah Onix use harden now" Brock cried as Onix hardened his skin in the nick of time as Nidoking, tried to drill Onix but the even stronger rock cracked his drilling horn "Onix tackle it" with Nidoking preoccupied. Onix took his chance and tackled his massive stone face bashing away Nidoking into the wall, "Right one down one to go" Golbat had a harder time though as both of Doduo's twin heads tried to clip Golbat's wings with their peck attack. "Golbat, bat gol Golbat-ears up bird brains" shrieked Golbat, as the clever bat Pokemon paralyzed Doduo with his screech attack. To finish the job Golbat prepared a double wing attack slapping Doduo's double heads silly, and toppling the Pokemon over with leech life for keeps. Ash cheered on hid friends "Way to go guys we did it we beat Gary's Pokemon yahoo" Misty and, Brock joined him but the last 2 Pokemon were still fighting as Arbok and Weezing took on Arcanine and Vaporeon. "Arbok bite that little fish faced freak" "Charrbokom" cried the creepy cobra as he, bared his fangs and struck Vaporeon's mermaid tail she felt woozy now. "No Vaporeon here have this antidote it will cure your poisoning" Ginee resourcefully had a antidote, she cured Vaporeon and was back at full strength "Payback hag Vaporeon bubble attack". "Vaporeon-yes my friend" the mermaid monster said as she blew out her blowing bubbles smacked into Arbok's snake face, "What hag I'll show you that does it Arbok bind it now" the purple Pokemon slithered as fat as its coils could take it. Whipping out his tail trying to capture Vaporeon but the water Pokemon was so slippery, Arbok couldn't keep a good grip on her "Haze time Vaporeon". Like a menacing blizzard ice flowed from Vaporeon chilling up Arbok, the rocket reptile chattered his fangs away. Jesse couldn't take this from Ginee calling her a hag "You stupid snake stop chattering start blasting poison sting attack now", Arbok still very cold was able to attack launching his multi poison spikes at Vaporeon. Ginee had just the finishing move "So Arbok hates the cold huh well in that case, Vaporeon give em a ice beaming Christmas" Vaporeon smiled as she gathered up all her strength and speed and blasted out. A arctic cold beam from her mouth to collided with Arbok's spikes but, as luck would have it the coldness of the ice beam froze all the spikes into icicles. The now frozen icicles zoomed right back for Arbok, with the force of Vaporeon's ice beam Jesse and Arbok stood frozen as the icicles. Stabbed them piece by piece running with no luck of escaping Ginee had won, but it appears one rocket Pokemon was not around to watch the fighting. Meowth was hiding in a trash can thinking of what to do "This ain't good even da new kid is screwing up, if we lose this one da boss will throw Gary and us too of da team I gotta tink of a plan ah ha". The talking tomcat ran outside to get something from the balloon while Weezing and, Arcanine began their own rumble James stated the attack "Weezing sludge that puppy". The gas- mastered monster barfed out his sludge projectiles at Arcanine but luckily, John' faithful friend was much quicker than Team Rocket thought "Great job Arcanine now take down". The fire wolf leaped into the air and with its razor sharp teeth and claws Arcanine, dragged Weezing down to the floor and ripped the poison Pokemon up like a chew toy. "Hey Weezing is not a chew toy use smog" Weezing was barely able to move he got enough strength and gassed Arcanine, "Cough hey no fair I can't see" "Well tough cookies oh those would taste good now". BAM! A fist collided with James's face knocking sense back into him it belonged to Jesse, "Okay gotcha no food rats Weezing tackle that twerp" "Weezing weez Weezing-here I come doggie" said the ball shaped beast. As Weezing tackled Arcanine in the head several times who was still trapped in the smog, "No Arcanine hurry get out of that smog listen to my voice come on now" thanks to John's quick ideas Arcanine escaped the smog. The 2 hugged glad one another was okay James however was mad that he was losing, "You butt heads no one ignores Team Rocket Weezing super sludge now" trying out a new move Weezing gathered up all the sludge he could use. And then he spewed the sludge ball at Arcanine and John who were unaware, except for Arcanine who's well trained ears heard the sludge and quickly turned to fire the projectile. Before James and Weezing could even breath a flaming sludge ball came screaming back a them, "Ah Weezing no don't block it your gonna" BOOM! the heat exploded Weezing catching James in the blast. "Exploded ouch" James squeaked as he collapsed John and Ginee jumped for joy Team Rocket was defeated they ran to hug Ash and the others, "Ash we did it Jesse and James are history" "Yeah we were an awesome team". "You guys did great I told you John Ginee you are excellent together glad I'm not against you" "Me too and Vaporeon is so cute", "That Arcanine is well trained John you guys really impressed me". John and Ginee blushed so much they were bright red the compliments, were more than they could handle Pikachu and Togepi danced with joy until Togepi saw something from the door. "Togepi pree togi, togi preee-look my step daddy is back" Pikachu thought about it and wondered, but then it hit him like a on of bricks "Pika pi Pikachu-step daddy? Meowth" but it was too late. "Ha surprise runts say hello to my clawed paws" Meowth as he used fury swipes on all of our heroes faces they cried back in pain, Pikachu tried to attack but Meowth slashed him too and tossed out the secret weapon. "Ha, ha I tink you guys remember our Blastic cause its back and with a new feature everything proof ha, ha" the gangster Pokemon, laughed as our heroes soon realized he was right no fire water rock or electric blast could break the Blastic. Too make matters worse the rockets were getting back up and were quite pleased, "Well guess you guys were more trickier than I thought finally Ash is history". Jesse and James laughed along with Gary and Meowth as they saw that they finally, had defeated them "Da boss will love us till we pass out now look at all da Pokemon". "Yeah and with Pikachu a Arcanine and Vaporeon extra gift set" ,"We'll be the bosses of Team Rocket ourselves with all the money he'll give us" Jesse and James kept on fantasizing while Gary. Called up the other rockets to bring out the vacuums for Ash's Pokemon, and his friends "Gary please you can't do this I never meant to hurt you none of us did we had no choice". But he shoved Ash down snickering at his rival's defeat as he grabbed his own vacuum pack, Ash and Misty held onto Pikachu and Togepi tight keeping them safe as possible. "Man Ash what are we gonna do were trapped in this stuff", "I know John but I can't break it man what are we gonna do?" but fear was the only idea that came to their minds. Gary was practically drooling as he lowered the vacuum into the Blastic and cackled out loud, "I have waited all my life to say this Ash I win and you lose your Pokemon are mine ha, ha". The gang closed their eyes gritted their teeth and held on to their Pokemon with all their strength, but then expecting to feel someone grabbing their Pokemon from their hands they felt nothing. Ash opened his eyes and saw Gary Jesse James Meowth and all the other rockets, pinned down by purple slimy muck. "Wait a minute Brock didn't Prof. Oak say he was going to get my Pokemon to help us?" slowly and, nervously Brock nodded yes until he and everyone else opened their eyes. Then a large ripping noise was heard Prof. Oak smiled as a crab like claw, was tearing the Blastic open Ash's eyes widened with joy as he saw his old Pokemon pals. "Wow Muk Kingler man its great to see you guys again" he hugged his old poison and king crab Pokemon with thankfulness, "Prof. Oak thank you so much how did you hide from Team Rocket?" Oak smiled gently and answered Misty's question. "Simple when I saw Meowth running back to the rocket balloon I new he was up to something so, I waited for the right time and stopped my grandson and Team Rocket thanks to Muk here". But Team Rocket was back up and madder than ever Gary growled at his grandfather "Why you, some grandfather you are okay that does it all Pokemon rockets attack" Gary lead a charge full force against Ash. Luckily he had a plan "Okay guys now that were free again and we have Muk and Kingler's help let's combine our fire power, and send Gary away with Team Rocket for good". They all agreed and the Pokemon prepared for their final attacks as their masters, called them up on stand by waiting for the right time with the right moves. "Pikachu Mew thunder and psychic attacks" "Staryu Psyduck hydro pump", "Onix Golbat rock throw and screech" "Arcanine Vaporeon flame-thrower and blizzard". Ash almost forgot about Muk and Kingler "Oh yeah Muk Kingler toxic and crab hammer" it was done, Team Rocket raged with their Pokemon ready to attack full force as well. "Now jump em" Gary said the rockets leaped high in the air for a human Pokemon body slam, but Ash had found the signal "Now everyone fire all attacks with all you got". ZAP! The massive combined super blaster fired in all its gory Team Rocket was totally unprepared for that kind of power, they screamed being struck by mixtures of painful freezings scorches shocks poisons and many, many more. For the grand finale the happy Togepi laughed so hard he never saw the button he had just stepped on, but the rockets saw as the entire herd of Tauros that Ash and Brock caught in the Safari zone was unleashed. BOOM! the raging bull Pokemon head butted Team Rocket right threw the wall Pokemon and all, Gary asked in total grief "So what happens now since I'm guessing you have done this before?". Jesse and James said stupidly "We say now all together looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again". And they did as Gary and the rest of his rotten rocket pals disappeared into the night sky, Ash his mom Misty Brock Oak John Ginee all cried in joy they had won. Threw out his life Ash had hated Gary and Team Rocket tonight he showed the world, that he has the love, friends, courage, and Pokemon knowledge to defeat both. But don't leave yet the fun has yet to end as Misty got onto the stage and invited up Ginee and, Ash's mom for a special performance "Well Ash since its time to exchange gifts here's mine first. If you look at Togepi he has half my gift to you I hope you like it", Ash opened it and saw with gleam the beautiful Pokemon pendant with al the colorful Poke-pictures on it. His eyes watered he wiped away the tears and saw that she wasn't done yet, "Now here is the rest of my gift I made a song for you actually I made it a while ago. It was supposed to be the big guns to speak to show you how much I loved you, now with your mom and Ginee to help me sing it hope you will love it hit it". The beat started playing and Bock cued in, the background music as Misty cleared her throat and began. "Out here in the quiet of the night beneath the stars and moon, we both know we've got something on our minds we won't admit but its true. (You look at me I look away) I wanna' tell you what I'm feeling but I don't know how to start, I wanna' tell you but now I'm afraid that you might break my heart. Oh why should anything so easy ever be so hard to do I wanna' tell you what, I'm feeling and to say that I love you. I practice all the things that I could say line by line every word I tell myself today will be the day but every time, I lose my nerve (I look at you, you look away) -REPEAT CHORUS. Why, why do you turn away it must be your afraid like me, I try but I can't pretend that I don't feel the way I feel for you can't you see? - REPEAT CHORUS. I wanna' tell you what I'm feeling (I wanna' say) but I don't know how to start, I wanna' tell you but now I'm afraid (but I'm afraid) that you might break my heart. Oh why should anything so easy (just never knew) be so hard to say that (I love you). The song ended and lights came back on Misty felt like a total fool singing, but seeing the tears in everyone's eyes and they way Ash smiled at her. She could tell she was anything but a fool up there she thanked everyone for her support, Ash's mom Ginee and Misty took a bow feeling so wonderful. They all said she did a fabulous job making that song the minute she came down Ash, put on the pendant and kissed followed with a warm feeling hug. "Okay thank you Misty so much now for our final gift I give it all to Ash and John up there" Brock entered them in with a cheer, Ash and John waved as they were about to do one gift for both their loves Ginee and Misty. "Well everyone after that song from Misty I doubt our gift can even compare to something as great she did, but we'll try and hope so since me and John needed a gift fast. Besides the one that Pikachu is handing you right now Misty you see, me and Ash thought like you thought girls this was a special night so we needed a special gift for you both". John and Ash stopped for a second as Misty opened her gift it was a aqua blue colored water flower, covered with jewels from Staryu and Starmie around the world. Misty was smiling and blushing all at once she put it on and watched Ash pull out a piece of paper, "Well this is our own made up song me and John made it the lines if it go with both our emotions for 2 girls". "So it back and relax cause me and Ash hope also our special guest can help make this song a little bit better, me and Ash call it A heavenly dream start the music Brock". "When it's late a night I open up my eyes, I look out the window at that beautiful night sky. I see the stars shining out so bright I make a little wish, I hope it takes flight and that's to love the girls that I know. (We love you) Happy anniversary to Ginee and Misty, (We love you) cause when I sleep at night you'll be my heavenly dream. What is a friend I really just don't know all the ones, I had have come and go that's when you 2 came. Like wondrous magic you both magically appeared thanks, to your love our the pain has been healed. All thanks to you and we say (We love you) like an angel from heaven, you floated in (We love you) no mater who we meet in all our lives you'll be our heavenly dreams. When we talk to you girls we get a feeling in our hearts, it says she's the one neither should depart they say. Out there there's a girl for every single guy when, we think of that phrase Ginee and Misty comes to mind". "And now all the way from Cerulean City say hello to the great and wonderful Daniel Waterflower"- "Yes its true (We love you) your girl's beauty shines with gleam. (We love you) I know that our love is no heavenly dream". The song ended and Misty jumped from her seat seeing right before her very eyes, that the man who just sang the last parts to Ash and John's song was her father. "D-daddy is that really you?" "Hi honey its me want to give your old man a hug?", after hearing her heartbeat suddenly get back from beating a 1000 times she ran up to the stage with Ginee. John opened his arms for Ginee she jumped into them kissing and hugging him non-stop , and Misty was crying her eyes out as she actually had a hug from her father. "I can't believe it I haven't seen you since I left how d-did you?" the tall man laughed and patted Ash on the back, "This proud young man called me on the phone and said you needed someone to be with. So he figured since you told him all those stories about our family that, I should come over and see my beautiful young daughter Misty. Its great to see you again and I hope one day to see you walking the isle down in a bride's gown, because from what I have heard on how much you and Ash over there care for each other. I see absolutely no problem of you 2 kids getting married in the future" Misty's eyes lit up with joy, Ash's mom began to cry Pikachu gave his best friend a thumbs up. But Ash didn't see any of it since he was still in shock of hearing Misty's dad say the word marriage, breaking from her dad's hug Misty hugged Ash crying with so much happiness she didn't know how to thank him. " Oh Ash your so sweet I can't believe you did this all for me my father the song I love now and forever, you will be in my heart" Ash smiled and cried himself. "Misty that song couldn't even possibly begin to describe my feelings for you, I love you too and I hop that marriage in the future with you won't be a heavenly dream either". Misty was a little shocked at what she heard but didn't say anything as she and, Ash kissed so long it seemed like an eternity. In fact after Ash and Misty saw John propose to Ginee about marriage both of them thought, that marriage just might enter their lives one-day. Ginee couldn't think of saying no just as she saw that diamond gold ring that John had, a family legend that his folks had it said that whoever posses this ring. Will find true love and that only people who are true of heart and soul, can find true love and will be destined to be together forever Pokemon and human alike. With the night still alive Ash and his friends went home and waved goodbye as John and Ginee walked off, Arcanine and Vaporeon were proud of their masters and now they shall follow their own destiny of life. Love can be an enigma one time it may seem like no one ever cares for you, thinking all have hated you blinding yourself with lies of anger and rage. But at another love can take to a world with more beauty beyond your wildest imaginations, Ash and Misty John and Ginee Arcanine and Vaporeon and maybe one-day Jesse and James. With time and patience good things shall come to those who wait as we seen tonight, Ash and Misty people with a golden future and thanks to their love and friendship for one another that future will soon be present. THE END!
