ten year old girl groans as her hand appeared from underneath the pale blue blankets to shut off the alarm clock before the pale blue blankets were pushed aside as the person sat up and yawned.
Two big windows suddenly opened to reveal a girl with dark blue hair that reached up to her back and tiffany blue eyes as she took a deep breath to let fresh air into her lungs and stared out the window before going through her closet to find an outfit.
The girl was Denise Berlitz.
Denise placed on a cream yellow shirt, a dark pink skirt with dark brown boots and her magenta bow scarf around her neck.
After brushing her hair, the Twinleaf girl put on two pink hair clips before going downstairs to see her mother making breakfast.
"Morning Denise."Johanna greeted with a smile as she looked up from what she was making to see one of the twins up already. "Lovely to see you up early."
"Mum, do you want me to wake up Dawn?"Denise asked as she sat down in a chair before hearing a slight groan as ringing sounded throughout the house. "Nevermind."
A few minutes later, a dark blue haired girl with matching eyes wearing a sleeveless black shirt, a pink miniskirt, pink boots that almost reached her knees and a red scarf around her neck came downstairs.
Dawn sat next to Denise, who was stuffing her face with sliced eggs, salad and toast.
"Morning Dawn."Denise greeted while munching on her salad.
"Morning Denise."Dawn responded with a smile and started eating. "Do you know what Pokemon you want from Professor Rowan?"
"Not yet."Denise replied as she nearly finished her salad. "All three of them are so cute. I'm sure any of them would make an awsome partner."
"Indeed, Dennie."Johanna giggled. "After all, you both have to choose between becoming a Trainer, Coordinator or a Breeder in order to go on a Pokémon journey."
"Your right, mum."Dawn agreed. "That's what we would do."
Dawn did different styles of the three Pokémon she might choose to use in contests signifying that her chosen path was Coordinator like their mother.
"So what do you think of that?"Dawn asked as she bowed.
"Pretty unique by the imagination."Denise said smugly.
"You keep messing around you won't any pokemon."Johanna reminded.
"Your right."Dawn chuckled. "Sorry mum."
"But I should go with the Turtwig performance, it was quite entertaining."Denise thought.
"What a wonderful day to start a journey, do you two have everything packed?"Johanna asked.
"Sure do, mum."Denise assured.
Dawn and Denise went upstairs to get her bag.
Denise went to the counter to grab her dark pink bag that was full of some clothes, food, medicine, and some pokemon stuff for their journey.
Dawn came downstairs with a huge bright pink suitcase.
"Oh what's all that?"Johanna asked.
"It's just my stuff, it's not like I packed the stuff I don't need."Dawn said.
Johanna opened the suitcase and picked up a black shirt.
"They're all clothes."Johanna commented.
"And some jewelry."Dawn added.
Denise sweat dropped. "Sis, do you even know what our journey is?"
"To become pokemon trainers."Dawn answered.
"I think you might need a different bag."Johanna said and brought a yellow bag.
"Aw...that's it?"Dawn complained as she picked it up.
"If you two want to become top trainers and smart travelers, then trust me."Johanna instructed.
"Okay mum."Dawn and Denise said in unison.
"And one more thing."Johanna admitted.
She then handed a orange ribbon to Dawn and a light blue ribbon to Denise.
"Mum, what are those?"Denise asked and looked at the blue ribbon.
"Those are my first champion ribbons I ever won, I always carried them as good luck."Johanna explained. "Now I want you two to carry them."
"Really?"Dawn asked.
"As long as you two don't lose them."Johanna warned.
"Alright, mum."Dawn replied. "See you soon."
"We'll make sure to call you."Denise complemented.
Denise walked outside to her hot pink bike as Dawn hurried out behind her to her pink bike.
"Do you two know how to get there?"Johanna asked as she stood on the porch with her Glameow.
"We've got our postcards!"Dawn assured.
"And water bottles in case we get thirsty!"Denise added.
"Alright off we go."Dawn said confidently.
Dawn and Denise started their bikes.
"Now both you do your best and take care of yourselves."Johanna stated as she waved goodbye to her daughters.
Denise nodded. "Got it."
"Don't worry, mum."Dawn reminded.
Dawn accidentally made her bike hit a small rock which nearly unbalanced her.
"Dawn!"Johanna shouted.
Denise biked beside her twin sister as she regained her balance.
"I'm okay!"Dawn stated.
"I'll make sure she doesn't get into any trouble!"Denise called out.
"Hey!"Dawn complained.
Johanna sighed. "Every time Dawn tell me not to worry is when I worry the most."
Glameow purred with a smirk on her face.
The Twinleaf Twins arrived to Sandgem Town.
"I think this is the lab."Dawn complemented.
Denise stopped in front of a brown building, but one look at it and knew it wasn't the lab.
"Hey!"Dawn remarked happily. "We're here for our pokemon!"
"You came to the right place, kids!"A voice sounded out.
This made Dawn look at who was talking before realizing where she was.
"You're eating too aren't ya?"the man asked.
Dawn and Denise rode around town on their bikes.
"Me and my directions!"Dawn cried.
"This is not the first time."Denise mumbled.
The sisters kept cycling around to find the lab, but to no avail.
Then the Twinleaf Girls started walking on foot as Dawn looked over the map on the postcard until Denise noticed someone in front of them.
"Dawn..."Denise warned.
Too late.
Dawn bumped into the man and started apologising repeatedly.
"Are you two lost?"the man asked.
"We're just trying to find the Pokemon Lab, sir."Dawn answered.
"Well, I might be able to help."the man responded.
Dawn became confused as Denise simply smiled.
"You're Professor Rowan, aren't you?"Denise asked with a smile.
A couple of minutes later, Professor Rowan and the sisters arrived at the lab.
However the windows suddenly shattered and saw a Starly, Staraptor, Chimchar and Piplup leave the lab through one of the windows.
The Professor and the two girls went inside and saw the incident that just happened.
The lab assistants immediately apologize to the Professor.
Turtwig was eating contently without knowing what just happened.
"We'll go out and search for the missing Pokemon."Dawn admitted.
"You would?"Professor Rowan asked.
"It might help us figure out which one we'll choose if we try to bond with them."Denise replied.
"Very well."Professor Rowan answered. "Good luck to you both."
Dawn and Denise went to the forest behind the Lab to search for the missing pokemon.
"That professor is a really nice guy."Dawn commented.
"More nicer than I thought."Denise agreed.
The two sisters started running to the trees and spotted Piplup using bubblebeam on Chimchar, who kept dodging the attack by climbing to the next tree.
"Stop that, Piplup!"Dawn demanded.
Piplup looked at them and used Bubble Beam on the Twins, but they got out of the way.
"Knock it off!"Denise demanded with a angry look.
Chimchar and Piplup started running to the forest.
"Hey, you two wait up!"Dawn protested.
Dawn and Denise ran deeper into the forest, but lost sight of the two pokemon.
"Chimchar! Piplup!"Denise called out. "Where are you guys?!"
The two sisters stopped running to catch their breaths.
"Where did they ran off?"Dawn asked.
Then the two sisters heard a familiar cry and they rushed where it came from.
There they saw Piplup trapped in a spiderweb with an Eevee and other wild pokemon.
"Poor them..."Denise said worriedly.
"Hang on, you guys!"Dawn protested.
But then a blast came in front of their feet and saw a Ariados.
The two sisters started to be followed by the Ariados and a plan came to their mind as they went in front of the web.
"Piplup."Piplup whimpered in fright.
"Don't worry, Piplup."Dawn instructed giving the penguin pokemon a wink.
Denise smiled. "Won't be long now."
"Eev?"Eevee asked.
The Ariados fired a mud attack and the sisters jumped out of the way as the web got destroyed freeing the pokemon.
Piplup went on Dawn's arms and the wild Eevee jumped to Denise's.
"Don't worry, your both safe now."Dawn reassured.
"Piplup."Piplup said with a few tears in its eyes.
"Sorry, you guys got scared."Denise apologised.
The wild Eevee smiled gratefully.
"Eevee."Eevee remarked.
Suddenly the two sisters accidentally slid down a hill and landed in a pile of bushes, luckily none of them got hurt.
Dawn and Denise stood up and walked away their bushes, while holding their pokemons.
"Let's introduce ourselves."Dawn said and looked at Piplup. "I'm Dawn."
"And I'm her twin sister Denise, how do you do?"Denise asked.
"Eevee."the wild Eevee said with the smile.
Piplup started pecking Dawn's face.
"Ow, ow, ow!"Dawn groaned.
Piplup jumped off her arms.
"Piplup."Piplup chirped.
"Hey, you are the one, who was chasing Chimchar and you are the one, who got caught."Dawn stated firmly. "If I were you, I would be pretty embarrassed right now."
Piplup started crying and it's stomach started growling.
"Oh now I get it."Denise sneered with a smirk. "You're hungry. No wonder you were so grumpy."
Piplup blushed in embarrassment while Eevee giggled.
Dawn took out a small box the contained.
"Here, pokemon food."Dawn replied.
Piplup looked away and frowned.
"Huh? What do you mean no?"Dawn demanded and looked at Eevee. "Do you want some Eevee?"
Eevee sniffed at the food in Dawn's hand and ate it.
"Eevee."Eevee said sweetly.
Dawn smiled. "Well at least you don't have a attitude problem."
"Cutie."Denise giggled.
But they then screeched in shock, when they saw a large web filled with Ariados.
"Let's get out here!"Dawn panicked.
"Hurry!"Denise demanded as she stood up.
The two sisters started running with Piplup and Eevee.
The Ariados spit out web strings which caused them to be trapped.
"They're mad at us now."Dawn said in fright. "We destroyed their nest."
"Don't need to say it twice."Denise murmured nervously.
The wild Ariados started firing poison stings at them.
"Piplup use Bubble Beam on the web, while we throw pokemon food to distract them."Dawn instructed.
Denise looked at Eevee.
"Eevee, can you help Piplup?"Denise asked.
Eevee nodded. "Eev!"
"Piplup!"Piplup tweeted.
"Come and get it!"Dawn encouraged as she and Denise threw pokemon food to the Ariados.
Piplup used Bubble Beam, while Eevee used Water Gun to destroy the web.
"We're out!"Dawn said in victory.
Then a web caught her foot making her fell on the floor.
"Dawn!"Denise shouted as she rushed to her sister's side.
The Ariados started approaching them.
"Piplup! Eevee! Get out of here!"Denise said looking at the two pokemon. "We'll be fine!"
"Save yourselves!"Dawn begged.
Just then the Ariados started throwing their attacks on the two sisters, Piplup and Eevee went in front to protect them.
"Piplup is using bide."Dawn said in surprise.
"Cool!"Denise chuckled in astonishment.
Piplup released a big white light, while Eevee hurled a shadowy blob on the Ariados.
This caused the wild spiders to be thrown to the sky and to fall in another side of the forest.
"Whoa, Eevee used Shadow Ball."Denise whispered.
Dawn and Denise notice Eevee was no longer with them.
"Huh? Where did Eevee go?"Dawn asked.
"Oh well, proberly went back to it's home."Denise said folding her arms.
The two sisters started walking with Piplup on Dawn's arms.
The girls arrived to Lake Verity, which was quiet and peaceful.
Piplup's tummy was growling again.
Dawn took out her can and it was empty.
"Oh dear."Dawn mumbled.
"Not to worry."Denise admitted and took out a small container with home made poffins inside. "Here you go Piplup."
Piplup took the sweet poffin and ate it.
Dawn and Denise smiled at the penguin pokemon.
"Staraptor!"
The two sisters and Piplup look up in the sky.
There they saw Chimchar in Staraptor's claws and Starly was following behind them.
Then a big, but soft breeze of wind appeared and the trio heard a sound coming from the water.
The trio spotted an invisible figure before it disappeared and the wind stopped.
"What was that?"Dawn asked.
"No idea."Denise replied. "But I'm sure it was a pokemon."
Afterwards in the Lab...
The two sisters told Professor Rowan what they saw.
"Hmm..."Professor Rowan said. "There has been stories about a legendary pokemon living in Lake Verity for a long time now that might've been the pokemon you both saw."
"Wow...you think so?"Dawn asked.
"Awsome..."Denise whispered.
"Now it's time for you two to pick your starter pokemons."Professor Rowan said.
One of the assistants arrived with a tray that held Piplup, Chimchar, and Turtwig.
Another assistant handed them each a Pokedex along with five pokeballs for each of them.
Dawn's pokedex was pink and Denise's was dark pink.
"These are the three available to first time trainers in the Sinnoh region."Professor Rowan explained as the two girls looked at the starter pokemons. "The fire type Chimchar, the water type Piplup and the grass type Turtwig. So do you two to know which pokemon you both want?"
"Yes I do."Dawn responded. "Piplup."
"Very well."Professor Rowan answered and looked at Denise. "Your turn, my dear."
Denise walked towards the other two Pokémon.
Chimchar and Turtwig looked at her with a smile.
Denise had a thoughtful look on her face as she looked at the two pokemon carefully.
The girl smiled when she made her decision.
"I choose Turtwig."Denise replied.
Turtwig smiled happily, while Chimchar dropped his head down in defeat.
"Good."Professor Rowan answered as he handed the two girls each a pokeball. "Here are their pokeballs."
"Thank you."Dawn and Denise said in unison.
Denise smiled at Turtwig.
"We'll make a wonderful team together, Turtwig."Denise remarked.
Turtwig smiled. "Turtwig."
Fenise activated her pokeball and Turtwig went inside it.
"Piplup, you and I have already been through a awful lot so we're really a team."Dawn said.
"Piplup!"Piplup said happily.
"Okay, let's go."Dawn giggled.
Dawn activated her pokeball and Piplup went inside it.
"One thing for sure anything can happen so if any of you need help, just let me know."Professor Rowan reminded.
"Thank you so much."Dawn remarked.
"We'll see you all later."Denise chuckled.
The two girls started their bikes and went off.
"Good luck."Professor Rowan replied.
Professor Rowan and his assistants waved farewell to the sisters.
Dawn was riding on her bike, then parked it and ran down the hill.
"Piplup!"Dawn called out. "Come on out!"
The pokeball opened and Piplup came out.
"Piplup!"Piplup chirped.
Together, Dawn and Piplup sat near a rock, watching the clouds float in the sky.
"Piplup, I am psyched and all, but I'm starting to wonder what a new Pokémon trainer, like me does."Dawn remarked.
"Pip?"Piplup asked.
"It's a deal!"Dawn giggled with a wink. "Let's catch a Pokémon!"
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Scene shows Ash and Pikachu in the tree and watching the flying Sinnoh Pokemon in the sky.
It's all about the challenges.
It's a brand new game and a brand new world.
Then Paul and Ash glaring at each other, while Denise glared at Amy.
Their Pokemons did the same.
Camera showed Dawn wearing a pink dress, while Denise wore a fancier magenta dress.
They took out their pokeballs showing Buneary, Piplup, Eevee and Ralts.
New rivals as you fight for survival.
Nothing can stop you, Diamond and Pearl.
Pokémon!
Denise's Shinx tackles Zoey's Glameow.
Aipom fighting Gym Leader Roark's Cranidos.
It's all about the battle.
You gotta play smart.
Palkia in a big cliff and Lucario watching it, then the fighting/Steel Pokemon turned around and saw another Legendary Pokemon in a snowy background,Dialga.
You gotta move faster behind every win there's a chance to begin, again!
You gotta take it all if you wanna be a Master...
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Scenes shows Dawn and Denise sitting down, while leaning against a large pokeball, Brock, Ash and Pikachu sat at the top of it.
It's time for adventure, Diamond and Pearl.
We can change the world.
Pokémon!
Back in Route 202...
A wild Pokémon appeared, which was a brown rabbit with yellow fur on its ears and on its body.
"A Buneary!"Dawn gasped as she pulled out her pink Pokedex.
"Buneary, the Rabbit Pokémon." Dawn's Pokédex said. "By quickly rolling up its extended ears, it can launch a powerful attack against its opponents."
"We have to watch out for those ears."Dawn stated. "So, here's the deal."
Dawn then explained to Piplup how you catch a Pokémon by weakening it, and then attempt to catch it.
Piplup nodded with understanding and prepared to battle.
"Alright then, Piplup!"Dawn shouted. "Use Bubble Beam!"
Piplup shot out mass of bubbles at the wild Buneary, but Buneary dodged the move with a bounce and it landed right behind Piplup.
"Peck attack!"Dawn ordered. "Buneary's right behind you!"
Piplup made another rapid attempt to strike Buneary, but the rabbit pokemon just moved out of the way and knocked Piplup out with dizzy punch.
"Are you okay, Piplup!?"Dawn asked worriedly as she rushed to her penguin pokemon.
As Dawn tried to shake Piplup awake, Buneary bounced on Dawn's face and hopped away.
"Ow...that hurts, how do you feel?"Dawn whimpered while rubbing her nose.
Piplup became sad for not helping Dawn to catch Buneary.
"H-Hey! Don't let it get to ya! Everybody makes a mistake, the first time around!"Dawn assured, then wondered how her sister was doing with her Turtwig. "I wonder if Denise is doing okay, though."
Meanwhile...
Denise was riding on her bike in a forest pathway with Turtwig on the little basket.
"Turtwig, do you know what a Pokemon Contest and a Pokemon Gym is?"Denise asked.
Turtwig looked at her in confusion.
"Turtwig?"Turtwig asked.
"A Pokemon Contest is really cool."Denise responded with a smile. "And a Pokemon Gym is where the Leader tests trainer's strength and skills between trainers and their Pokémon! My dream is to become a Top Coordinator like my mum and a Pokemon Master. If you get all the eight Gym Badges you can enter the Sinnoh League, so lets work hard and get many pokemon as we can."
"Turtwig."Turtwig answered with a smile.
Just then, there was a rustle on a bush causing Denise to stop her bike and Turtwig went off it.
Then a familiar brown fox pokemon appeared.
"Eevee!"
"Hey, it's the Eevee I saw yesterday!"Denise remarked as she took out her Pokédex.
"Eevee, the Evolution."Denise's Pokedex said. "Eevee has an unstable genetic makeup that suddenly mutates due to the environment in which it lives, radiation from various stones causes this Pokémon to evolve."
"Hey Turtwig, I think that Eevee should be our first new Pokemon friend for the catch."Denise suggested confidently.
"Tur Turtwig."Turtwig replied in agreement and stood in a fighting stance.
Eevee noticed this and prepared to fight.
"Turtwig, start with Razor Leaf!"Denise ordered.
Turtwig sends sharp-edged leaves at Eevee, who dodged it.
Eevee threw a Shadow Ball at Turtwig.
"Quick, dodge it!"Denise ordered.
Turtwig quickly dodged the smokey ball.
"Turtwig, use Absorb!"Denise ordered with a smile.
Turtwig surprises Eevee with its nutrient-draining attack causing the Evolution Pokemon to grow weak.
"Alright!"Denise shouted and took out a pokeball. "Go! Pokéball!"
Denise threw a pokeball at the Evolution Pokemon.
Eevee got trapped inside the pokeball, it shook for a few times and then stopped.
"We caught Eevee!"Denise laughed. "Turtwig, you did it!"
Denise cheered as she picked Turtwig and hugged him.
Turtwig blushed as it cheered, too.
Denise picked up her pokeball and Eevee came out.
"Hello again, Eevee."Denise said kindly and looked at Turtwig. "Turtwig say hello to our new friend."
Turtwig greeted Eevee with a smile, who smiled back at him.
"Aw, you guys are so cute."Denise chuckled sweetly and realized something. "Oh, we should go and see how Dawn's doing."
She stood up to go to her bike, but when she turned around it was gone!
"Huh? Hey!"Denise yelled in anger. "Who took my bike!?"
In the Other Side...
Dawn and Piplup once again failed to catch a Pokémon after the depressing failure against Buneary.
The two of them saw a wild Burmy in a grass cloak.
Piplup managed to weaken Burmy, but Dawn wasn't thinking fast enough, causing Burmy to escape.
But the two of them got their courage back as they decided to try again.
However just as they were about to move, they heard a rustle on the bushes.
It revealed to be Pikachu!
"Pikachu, the Mouse Pokémon, it can generate electric attacks from its electric pouches, located in both of its cheeks." Dawn's Pokédex buzzed.
"So, it's an Electric Type Pokémon."Dawn said. "It's not a very good type advantage for a Water Type like Piplup, but hey..."
She looked at Piplup, who held its fist out.
"Alright! Take it from the top! Piplup! Use Bubblebeam!"Dawn yelled.
Piplup unleashed its Water Type move, which was destroyed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt.
"Whoa! So, that's what a Thunderbolt looks like!"Dawn said with a hint of surprise. "Alright, Piplup! Use Peck!"
Piplup jumped as his peck glowed white and sharp on Pikachu.
Pikachu again used Thunderbolt, shocking Piplup, and burnt Dawn's bike.
"My bike! It's extra crispy!"Dawn said in shock and glared at Pikachu. "Thanks a lot! I'm definitely catch you after that! Lets go pokeball."
So, she threw a Pokeball at Pikachu.
But, to Dawn's surprise, the Pokéball bounced away from Pikachu, causing Dawn to catch it.
"Hold on! If that doesn't work, you already must belong to someone else, maybe?" Dawn asked.
Pikachu grew a little frightened as it began to run away, only to be cornered by a Seviper, Cacnea, and Dustox.
"What are they all doing here?" Dawn asked.
Just then, Meowth appeared. "They're my Pikachu crew!"
When Meowth talked, Dawn was surprised as she checked her Pokédex.
"Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon."the Pokedex said."It sleeps a lot during daytime, and during the nighttime, it becomes active, moving around, in its territory."
"And that blabberbox won't tell you about, was not only the cream of the Poké-crop, I'm the king of the cuties, too!"Meowth said.
Then, Jessie and James, of Team Rocket came out of the bushes, glad to see Pikachu almost captured.
"Eureka!"Jessie sneered with a smirk.
"Looks like we struck Pikachu gold!"James snickered.
Then the evil trio saw Dawn with her Pokeball.
"Little girl, you really shouldn't be playing around with Pokeballs like that, you know."Jessie stated with a smirk.
"Huh?"Dawn asked in confusion.
"You might 'Poké' a Pokémon size out!"James joked.
"Wobbuffet!"Wobbuffet agreed.
"There is no room in this forest for yet another thief."Jessie commeted. "We've been after Pikachu so long, we're trademark!"
"But, thanks to your unwilling, you made our job much easier!"James explained.
That made Pikachu annoyed as he shocked the trio with a Thunderbolt.
"Oppose to cute little rosy super-charged cheeks, that leaves the closest to branch!" Jessie muttered.
The trio recovered quick, which allowed James to order their Pokémon to attack Pikachu!
Pikachu managed to dodge every attack, but grew very exhausted and weak.
Dawn couldn't stand to watch all this happen. "Piplup use Bubblebeam!"
Piplup used bubblebeam blowing Seviper, Cacnea and Dustox away.
Dawn and Piplup went in front to protect Pikachu.
"Who are you? Their Mom?!" James asked with annoyance.
"Look! This Pikachu doesn't like you, whoever you are!"Dawn retorted.
Team Rocket smirked as they began their motto.
"Prepare for trouble, are you out of the room?"
"Make it double, those ones who are the real corps."
"And evils hold the galaxy!"
"Sent here to fulfill our destiny!"
"With Meowth, that's me!"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reaches to the stars above!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Meowth's the name!"
"Whenever's there peace around..."
"Team Rocket..."
"Is there!"
"To make everything worse!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Mime Mime!"
"Never heard of you."Dawn admitted.
That made Team Rocket fell down in awkwardness.
"The nerve of that twerpette!"Jessie muttered. "Not knowing who we are!"
"I wonder if she knows where we are?"James asked as he stood up.
"Just outside of Sandgem Town."Dawn answered.
"The Sinnoh region."James said in realization. "How could I forgot!"
"You never could grab long distances."Jessie admitted.
"Thats why she doesn't know anything about us."James said with a smile. "There's no Team Rocket breech."
That made Jessie and Meowth sneer with triumph.
"I find it awfully hard to believe that this Pikachu belongs to you!"Dawn stated. "For starters, why isn't Pikachu safely inside its Pokeball?"
Jessie ignored the question, deciding to steal Dawn's Piplup!
"Seviper! Use Wrap!"Jessie ordered.
The Poison Type Pokémon wrapped its coil around Piplup, squeezing him.
"Piplup!" Dawn gasped.
"Say, that blue Pokémon looks catch-able!"Jessie said with a smirk.
"And with the Pikachu to the boss, yellow and blue will make some green!"Meowth remarked.
"Piplup use Bubble Beam!"Dawn pleaded.
Piplup tried to attack, but couldn't with Seviper tightening the wrap.
Dawn was getting scared.
How is she going to save both Piplup and Pikachu at the same time?
"Eevee! Use Shadow Ball!"A female voice called out. "Turtwig! Use Razor Leaf!"
A Shadowy ball and sharp-edged leaves blasted Seviper out of Piplup's wrap prison.
Dawn turned to see Denise with her two pokemon running towards the commotion.
"Denise! Great timing!"Dawn replied and was relieved to see her twin sister.
"Sorry it took so long, Dawn."Denise apologised looking at her twin. "Me and Turtwig got busy with Eevee."
"Not too bad for two kids, but now it's time to show you both, why Team Rocket is feared by lots of little kids over at the Kanto region!"Jessie stated.
"Let them to cry in our evil ways!"James shouted.
"Show them what he means, gang!"Meowth admitted with a smirk.
Seviper, Cacnea and Dustox moved in to attack.
"Use Bubblebeam!"Dawn shouted.
"Turtwig use Razor Leaf and Eevee use Thunder!"Denise ordered.
Pikachu joined in the attack as Razor Leaves, Thunder, Thunderbolt and Bubblebeam blasted the three enemy Pokémon, causing an explosion on Team Rocket.
"That was a quick trip."Jessie said with a smile.
"Jessie is right!"James replied.
"We had a little look!"Meowth agreed.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"Team Rocket screamed as they vanished in the sky.
The two sisters and the four pokemon cheered.
"Yay!"Dawn cheered.
"Alright!"Denise chuckled in victory.
Turtwig, Eevee and Piplup cheered with Pikachu until the Mouse Pokemon fell to his rear end, panting.
The two sisters gasped in shock.
"Is that Pikachu okay?"Denise asked in concern.
"I don't think so."Dawn replied as she picked him up. "We better find a Pokémon Center and fast!"
"Eevee thanks for the help, return."Denise commented and made Eevee return to her pokeball.
So Dawn, Denise, Piplup and Turtwig raced down to a nearby Pokémon Center to safe Pikachu.
Afterwards in the Pokemon Center...
Nurse Joy checked Pikachu's health.
"This Pikachu is suffering from extreme exhaustion."She replied.
"A group of strangers arrived, trying to capture Pikachu."Denise admitted.
"That sounds scary, but I'm sure that Pikachu will have a full recovery, I do know about these things."Nurse Joy assured with a smile and winked.
"Thank you!"Dawn answered.
"We're so relieved!"Denise added.
"Piplup!"Piplup agreed.
"Turtwig!"Turtwig replied happily.
Dawn and Denise then decided to call their mum.
"That's wonderful! You two made a good choice with Piplup and Turtwig."Johanna commented. "Smart and cute, too."
"Piplup."Piplup responded.
"Turtwig."Turtwig said gently putting his head up in pride.
"So, have you been able to catch any new Pokémon yet?"Johanna asked.
"I tried, but so far, no luck."Dawn answered with disappointment.
"Only I managed to catch one."Denise admitted sweetly as she showed Eevee to her mum.
"Eevee."Eevee greeted kindly.
"Ah, an Eevee that's wonderful dear."Johanna said with a smile. "It takes a while until you get the hang of it! But once you do, you're going to have so much fun! Nothing's more exciting than looking for new Pokémon friends."
Piplup stood with pride.
"Piplup chill out."Dawn stated.
That upset Piplup off as he complained to Dawn.
Well, you had some things on why we didn't manage to catch one Pokémon."Dawn retorted.
"Oh boy..."Denise said knowing what was going to happen.
"Piplup!"Piplup argued as he pecked Dawn. "Piplup! Piplup!"
Denise and her two Pokemon sweat dropped.
"Oh brother..."She muttered covering her face with her hand.
Johanna watched as her first daughter and her Pokemon fight with pecks and pointing.
"You know, I think those two were made for each other, don't you think?"She asked.
"Meow..."Glameow agreed with a purr.
Meanwhile...
Somewhere around the route, Ash and Aipom was still looking for Pikachu.
Aipom searched high up in the trees, but had no luck.
When Ash called her down, Aipom sadly shook his head.
"Oh man. When you want to find those guys, all they do is disappear."Ash said with a sigh. "I sure hope that Pikachu's okay."
He and Aipom sadly walked down the road, then laid on a grassy area, where they were called by the Sinnoh's Officer Jenny.
"Is everything alright over there?"Officer Jenny asked.
"Huh? Hey, it's Jenny!"Ash said as he and Aipom turned around.
Officer Jenny offered Ash a ride to Professor Rowan's research lab as Ash explained of what happened to his Pikachu.
"So, Team Rocket's in Sinnoh, huh?"Jenny asked.
"Yeah! I gotta find those crooks quick!"Ash replied. "They took my Pikachu!"
"Ash, Sinnoh is a big place instead of trying to find them all by yourself, why don't you leave that to me."Jenny suggested. "And I'll drop you off at Professor Rowan's place."
Ash reluctantly agreed, but knew he had to see the Sinnoh Professor to get Aipom's Pokéball.
In Professor Rowan's Lab...
"So...you're Ash, from Pallet Town."Professor Rowan said. "Professor Oak said a great deal about you, he send your Aipom's Pokéball for you and it just arrived."
He handed Ash, Aipom's Pokéball.
"That's great! Thanks, Professor!" Ash thanked.
"I wouldn't worry too much about Pikachu."Professor Rowan stated. "I've heard from two of my new trainers this morning that they've protected a lost Pikachu from a strange group that calls themselves, Team Rocket."
"You're kidding? Wow!"Ash said with a gasp.
"Aipom!"Aipom cried out hanging onto Ash's shoulder.
So, they called the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy picked up the call.
"Oh...Dawn and Denise? I'm sorry...but, the two of them left the Pokémon Center just as you called."Nurse Joy apologized.
"Did those two say anything about where they were going, Nurse Joy?" Ash asked.
"Not in so many words, but I believe that Denise said something about going to Jublife City to find Pikachu's trainer."Nurse Joy answered.
When the call was over, Ash ran out of the Lab.
"Wait! Where are you going!?"Professor Rowan called out.
"I've gotta find Dawn and Denise! I know the Pokémon Center is closely, right?"Ash said. "So that means that the two of them should be close by! C'mon, Aipom! Let's move!"
Aipom nodded in response and followed.
All Professor Rowan could think of was being worried about Ash, Dawn and Denise.
A While Later...
Dawn, Piplup, Denise, Turtwig and Pikachu were receiving a call from Professor Rowan.
"I've been trying to reach the two of you."Professor Rowan stated.
"Huh?"Dawn and Denise asked in unison.
"Pikachu's trainer is named Ash."Professor Rowan said. "He's on his way to meet the two of you, he was here, but he left."
"No problem, then!"Dawn said. "We'll re-trace back and then we'll be sure to meet the guy!"
"Alright then! Let's not waste any more time, then!"Denise said as she and Turtwig began to run. "Let's go!"
"I wish my bike wasn't very crispy right now..."Dawn mumbled quietly as she followed her sister.
Meanwhile...
Ash and Aipom were running along in Route 202 to meet up with both Dawn and Denise.
Just as the two were running, they heard a truck horn, honking by.
Ash stopped to see who was in the truck.
"Ash!"A familiar friend called out to him.
"Hey, Brock!" Ash replied, glad to see one of his best friend and companion.
"I guess great minds think alike."Brock joked.
"Do you two know each other or are you too friendly, Brock?"A woman asked Brock.
"Oh, you see, this is my old buddy, Ash."Brock answered. "I've been traveling with him for a long time."
"The name's Claudina!"Claudina said. "And in case you haven't noticed, I'm a pride driver in this big rig."
"Hi, nice to meet you."Ash replied politely.
Then, all of a sudden, Brock hung his arm around Ash, explaining on what he and Claudina were doing.
"Yeah! Claudina and I were on the road!"Brock said happily. "The road to happiness and true love!"
"Yeah... But, in a truck?"Ash asked.
"Ash, it's a long and complicated journey when you want to become the very best!"Brock said happily. "I was hitchiking for Pewter City when we hooked up! It was fate!"
"Whoa..."Ash said.
"It's been great seeing you pal."Brock said proudly. "And best of luck on everything you do!"
Then there was a phone ringing on Claudina's pocket, she picked it up, and realized that it was her boyfriend.
"Hi there, honey, I've been waiting for your sweet voice to call!"Claudina replied.
"HONEY!?"Brock asked in shock.
"Sure, I'll be right there, just as I get these eighteen wheels of mine can carry me!"Claudina promised.
She put the phone away and looked at Brock.
"I'm sorry for the interruption, Brock! But, that was my boyfriend on the horn and I have to high tail it to meet him, faster than a Volt Tackle!"Claudina apologized. "But, I know that you all will be fine! After all! You've got your bud!"
Brock had his mouth wide open.
"Well, I'll leave the two of you going along!"Claudina said sweetly. "See ya later, Brock! And thanks for the great lunch and dinner!"
She then drove off as the Kanto trainer watched with Brock still having his mouth opened..
"Alright, Ash! A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!"Brock yelled out, shaking up. "And these men gotta do it whether a woman or not in their side!"
"Yeah! That's what I like to hear!"Ash chuckled.
Then Brock notice Pikachu was missing.
"Huh? But hey...where's Pikachu, Ash?"He asked.
"Who knows..."Ash said sadly.
With that, he explained of what happened when he had arrived in Sinnoh, and how Pikachu was rescued by Dawn and Denise from Team Rocket.
"That Team Rocket won't quit, will they?"Brock asked.
"Here it is."Ash exclaimed, finding the Pokémon Center on the map. "There's a Pokémon Center up ahead where those girls found Pikachu! So, that way, we can ask Nurse Joy to see where they went."
"When it comes to Nurse Joy, let me handle it!" Brock said smoothly.
Suddenly, the two Kanto trainers saw Aipom fighting with another Pokémon!
The two boys ran to where Aipom was fighting.
"Knock it off, Aipom!"Ash stated. "This is no time for you to be picking in a fight! Stop!"
Just then, Brock noticed the one that was fighting Aipom.
"Hey, who's that Pokémon?" Brock asked.
Ash took out his Pokédex to see who was attacking his female Normal Type!
"Starly, the Starling Pokémon."The Pokedex said. "Starly normally travels in a flock, but when it is alone, it is hard to notice one."
"A Normal and Flying Type! Alright!"Ash said.
"Maybe we should catch it."Brock suggested.
"I think so, too."Ash admitted. "That way, we could look for Pikachu in the air! Aipom! I want to catch that Starly! So, I need your help!"
He took out a Pokéball as he got ready for the catch.
Aipom nodded and leap toward the air.
"Aipom, use Swift!"Ash ordered.
Aipom obeyed by sending stars at Starly, which exploded.
Suddenly, Starly uses a powerful Whirlwind attack, blinding not just Aipom, but Ash and Brock, too!
"That's Whirlwind! And a really strong one, too!"Brock stated and resisting the attack.
"Aipom! Hang in there, and use Focus Punch!"Ash ordered.
Aipom made an attempt to use Focus Punch, but it was interrupted by wild Starly's Quick Attack.
Now, Starly used Wing Attack, giving Aipom some more damage.
"Now Starly is using Wing Attack!"Brock warned, seeing the Flying Type move.
"I know that you can do it, Aipom!"Ash ordered.
Aipom finally punched Starly toward the air.
"That's more like it."Brock admitted.
This gave Ash the chance to throw his Pokeball and trapped Starly inside.
It shook for a while, then stopped!
"Alright! I've caught a Starly!"Ash stated with a smile and then stopped.
"What's wrong?"Brock asked.
"You know, Brock, when something like this happens, Pikachu's usually here with me."Ash answered and sighed looking at Starly's Pokéball.
Brock put a hand over Ash's shoulder with a reassuring smile.
"I know...but don't forget the reason that you caught Starly is to help find Pikachu."He reminded.
Ash smiled at that and nodded. "You're right, Brock...Starly, come on out!"
The Flying Type appeared, ready to help out his new trainer and began to flew off as the two boys followed him.
Meanwhile, Dawn, Piplup, Denise, Turtwig and Pikachu ran to find Ash, to reunite the Electric Mouse with Ash.
With Ash's first Pokemon from the Sinnoh Region Starly firmly on the team, our heroes head off to find Pikachu, Dawn and Denise! Will their paths finally cross?"
As everyone ran for the search, there was a purple haired boy who stood on a grassy hill with a evil smirk.
He had seen the capture of Ash's new Starly as his Elekid stood beside him.
"Hmph, well, if it was that easy, then who needs that thing?"the boy asked.
Ash and Brock are using Starly to find Pikachu, while Dawn and Denise search around to find Pikachu's trainer.
Suddenly, Starly stopped, trying to remind Ash of what was going on.
"Hear that, Brock?"Ash asked.
"Starly spotted something!"Brock stated.
Just then they saw an Electric Type move zapping in the air, causing other wild Starly to fly away.
"Check it out!"Ash said.
"That is some Electric attack."Brock admitted.
"Pikachu!"Ash called out.
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Scene shows Ash and Pikachu in the tree and watching the flying Sinnoh Pokemon in the sky.
It's all about the challenges.
It's a brand new game and a brand new world.
Then Paul and Ash glaring at each other, while Denise glared at Amy.
Their Pokemons did the same.
Camera showed Dawn wearing a pink dress, while Denise wore a fancier magenta dress.
They took out their pokeballs showing Buneary, Piplup, Eevee and Ralts.
New rivals as you fight for survival.
Nothing can stop you, Diamond and Pearl.
Pokémon!
Denise's Shinx tackles Zoey's Glameow.
Aipom fighting Gym Leader Roark's Cranidos.
It's all about the battle.
You gotta play smart.
Palkia in a big cliff and Lucario watching it, then the fighting/Steel Pokemon turned around and saw another Legendary Pokemon in a snowy background,Dialga.
You gotta move faster behind every win there's a chance to begin, again!
You gotta take it all if you wanna be a Master...
Pokémon!
Pokémon!
Scenes shows Dawn and Denise sitting down, while leaning against a large pokeball, Brock, Ash and Pikachu sat at the top of it.
It's time for adventure, Diamond and Pearl.
We can change the world.
Pokémon!
Nearby a boy was battling all of the wild Starlys around with his Electric Type Pokémon named Elekid.
He spotted a Starly, which was Ash's Starly, but he didn't know.
"Now! Go, Pokéball!" the boy said throwing the ball at Starly.
However, it zapped back, as Starly broke loose and flew towards Ash.
"Starly! Over here!"Ash called out to his Flying Type.
Starly landed on Ash's shoulder as the boy turned to face Ash.
"I'll thank you and your Starly to stay out of my way."the boy grunted, glaring at Ash.
"I didn't know anybody was here but us! Really!"Ash explained.
"It must've been his Elekid that launched the Electric attack."Brock suggested.
"Anyway, I've got a question for you."Ash said looking at the boy. "Uh, you haven't seen two girls with a Pikachu around here, haven't you?"
"No."the boy replied rudely and looked at Ash's Starly. "You really think that Starly is good enough?"
This surprised Ash and Starly.
"I've watched you catched it."the boy said. "Don't you think that you would be a lot better off if you catched the best one you can?"
"You can tell which one's the strongest?"Ash demanded.
"Of course, look."the boy said with a smirk as he threw his three Pokeballs in the air.
As they opened three Starlys appeared.
"You have three of them!?"Ash asked in surprise.
The boy took out his black Sinnoh Pokedex.
"You must know that you can scan Pokémon that you catch with your Pokédex and to check out what moves it can use...and that's what I do."the boy said. "I figure if you do that from the beginning, it can save you from grief on a long run."
He used his pokedex to scan the three Starlys.
"Okay...let's check it out, Aerial Ace..." The boy replied, checking the data on his device. "And the big winner is..."
He took out the three Pokéballs returning the three Starlys.
He put one away, while looking at the other two with a disappointed look.
"Take a hike."the boy said coldly. "I don't need you."
He released the two into the air, letting go of the two Starlys.
"That's sure a weird way to treat Pokémon."Ash admitted.
"Hey, the only attacks those two knew were Tackle and Sand-Attack."the boy explained. "So, they wouldn't be much use anyway."
"Well, know what I think? Any Pokémon can be strong when you train them!"Ash retorted and caused the boy to smirk. "What are you laughing about?"
"You'll find out."the boy said with a dark smirk. "So...wanna battle?"
"Sure! Let's do it!"Ash answered with confidence.
"We'll use three Pokémon."the boy replied.
Ash stepped back in shock when he heard that.
"Three-on-three is the best way to see what type the trainer is gonna use for their Pokémon and to see how their balance is." the boy explained.
"I don't. But, I've only got two."Ash explained sadly.
Aipom and Starly sadly agreed.
"You've gotta be kidding! Talk about pathetic!"the boy said cruelly and looked at his Electric pokemon. "Elekid, let's get going."
The boy and the Elekid began to walked away.
"Argh! Man, I wish Pikachu was here...?"Ash growled quietly.
He gasped when he saw another Electric Type move, zapping in the air.
"Ash! Did you hear that, too?" Brock asked.
"That's a Volt Tackle!" Ash answered.
So, Ash and Brock ran to where they saw the move.
"A volt tackle huh?"the boy said having heard their conversation.
Meanwhile...
Pikachu attacked a robot with Volt Tackle.
Dawn and Denise were trying to find Ash so that they could return Pikachu, however Team Rocket blocked their way with a gigantic robot.
Pikachu tried to destroy the robot with Thunderbolt and Volt Tackle, but not a scratch was made on the robot.
James, Jessie and Meowth laughed.
"That kind of tickled."Meowth chuckled.
"But, that's as far you'll get with our new toy robot!"Jessie said with a smile.
"Get a load of our new 'Super Sinnoh Slayer 1-A'!"James added. "Not only it'll be able to withstand or delfect any attack that you fling in our way, but being solar-powered fights us global warming and makes us lunch!"
"Wobbuffet!"Wobbuffet agreed.
"Pika!"Pikachu panted.
"Hold on!"Dawn said. "Why do you want Pikachu so bad!?"
"Yeah! Why don't you just get your own?!"Denise snapped.
"Ha! When it comes to poaching Pokémon that Pikachu is the perfect piece for our goal!"Jessie stated.
"We've been in pickup, so since you've been alive."Meowth said with a evil smile.
"And not one of you or your pre-teens will wedge through our Team Rocket and our potential plans for possible goal!"James said.
"We were hands down! How does this grab ya!?"Meowth suggested controlling the robot to grab Pikachu.
"Piplup! Quick! Use Bubblebeam!" Dawn ordered.
"Turtwig use Razor Leaf! Eevee use Shadow Ball!"Denise demanded.
Piplup used bubblebeam, while Turtwig used Razor Leaf and Eevee used Shadow Ball.
However, none of the attacks stopped the robot from grabbing Pikachu.
Pikachu tried zapping the robot with Thunderbolt, but it didn't work.
"Three points!"Meowth cheered.
"And Team Rocket wins it!"Jessie giggled.
"With the Pikachu fast play!"James said in victory.
"Piplup use Bubblebeam!"Dawn said.
"Turtwig! Eevee! Razor Leaf and Shadow Ball go!"Denise ordered.
The three pokemons used their moves, but it didn't do anything to the robot.
"Except for the entertainment! You're just wasting fire and water!"James retorted.
This made Piplup angry as it began to run towards the robot.
"Piplup, wait!"Dawn called out followed by Denise and her two pokemon.
"Oh please! Just like the twerp!"Jessie growled as she controlled the robot to swat Piplup away like a fly.
"Piplup! Are you okay?"Dawn asked looking at her Water Type Pokémon.
Piplup grew more frustrated as it yelled at Team Rocket.
"Ha ha ha! A wimp with wings!"Meowth laughed.
That boiled Piplup up as it yelled at Team Rocket again.
"Now, I think it's time for some flying lessons!"Jessie snickered as she forced the robot to attack the two sisters and their pokemons.
"Aipom, use Swift! Starly, use Whirlwind!" Ash yelled.
Stars and a strong wind attacked the arms, startling Team Rocket.
"Pikachu!"Ash called.
"Pika Pi!"Pikachu said in relief.
Dawn, Piplup, Denise, Turtwig and Eevee turned to see Ash and Brock coming over.
"Look! It's the old twerps!"Jessie and James muttered.
"I know what he wants!"Jessie growled.
"We can tell that Pikachu is under new management!"Meowth said as he sent one of the arms, slamming Ash toward the ground.
Brock, Dawn, Denise and their pokemons gasped.
"Ash!"Brock gasped as he ran towards his younger friend.
"Oh no you don't!"Ash called out as he ran for the robot.
"Ash! Don't do anything crazy!"Brock warned.
"They've got Pikachu!"Ash grunted.
This surprised Dawn and Denise.
"There's no doubt about it!"Jessie admitted. "Helpless twerps are my favorite twerps!"
"That must mean we win!" James said proudly.
"Time for Team Rocket's success!"Meowth laughed.
They rose on a platform facing Ash and the others.
"This is your lucky day after all!"Jessie giggled.
"You get to witness a new Team Rocket motto!"James stated.
"Do we have to?"Ash asked.
"Listen! Is that a voice I hear?"
"It's speaking to me loud and clear!"
"Mounting on the wind!"
"Past the stars!"
"In your ear!"
"Bringing chaos at a breakneck place!"
"Dashing all hope and putting fear at its places!"
"A rose by any other name is just as sweet!"
"When everything's worse, our work is complete!"
"Jessie!"
"And it's James!"
"Meowth! That's the name!"
"Putting the good doers in their places!"
"We're Team Rocket!"
"And in your face!"
"Wobbuffet!"
"Mime mime mime!"
"Oh man."Ash groaned as he ran for the robot.
"Well, we let them speechless again!"Meowth chuckled.
"Encore time!"James replied, pressing on the button to attack Ash.
The robot's arms missed as Ash landed on a tree and held onto an arm.
Team Rocket gasped when they saw this.
"I'm coming, Pikachu!"Ash called out.
"Pika!"Pikachu called back.
Ash began to climb up the arms to get to his friend.
"Ah! He's got that look in his eyes!"Meowth said in shock.
"Oh no? Well, look at these!"James growled as he pressed the buttons to attack.
But Ash kept dodging the arms.
Dawn and Denise gasped seeing the boy risking his life for his Pikachu.
Suddenly, one of the mechanized arms smashed into the robot.
"You're safe with me now, Pikachu."Ash assured.
"Pika Pi!"Pikachu said joyfully.
The robot started to buzz with electricity.
"Ash! Get down there!"Brock called out. "I think it's about to blow!"
Ash refused to leave his partner again as he kept pulling on the arm grabbing Pikachu.
"We're getting skinned worse than I thought!"Meowth panicked.
"One thing's for sure..."Jessie started.
"We're thickheaded!" James said nervously.
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet agreed.
The robot began to explode.
"Get down!"Brock yelled as he put his head down, along with Ash's Starly and Aipom.
Dawn, Piplup, Denise, Turtwig and Eevee followed along ducking their head on the ground.
Then...
BOOM!
The robot exploded.
"You tell me what encore is this!"Jessie demanded.
"Yeah! Wouldn't our audience want this more!?"James said.
"You tell that to the writer!"Meowth complained.
'Wobbuffet!"Wobbuffet agreed.
"Mime mime mime!"Mime Jr said.
"We're blasting off again!"Team Rocket shouted as they disappeared out of sight.
As everyone stood up, they saw the robot's rubble covering Ash and Pikachu.
"Hey, Pikachu! Ash!" Brock called. "Pikachu!" Dawn gasped.
"Can you guys hear us!?"Denise called out.
"Pip!" Piplup cried.
"Twig!"Turtwig called out.
"Eevee!"Eevee said.
Suddenly, the rubble moved as Ash and Pikachu finally appeared.
Ash's clothes were badly damaged while Pikachu had bruises and scratches.
"Pikachu!"Ash said happily.
"Pikachu!"Pikachu said, leaping to his trainer's arms.
They both hugged for their reunion.
Aipom and Starly came by.
Ash introduced Starly to Pikachu, while Aipom happily shook Pikachu's paws, relieved to see his Electric Type friend again.
"Pikachu! We did it!"Dawn said with a smile.
"Job well done."Denise admitted in agreement.
"Piplup!" Piplup agreed.
"Turtwig!"Turtwig added.
"Eev!"Eevee said sweetly.
"You two saved Pikachu!"Ash said. "Thanks so much! My name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."
"My name is Brock."Brock said walking to the three trainers.
"Hi guys! My name is Dawn and this is Piplup."Dawn said.
"And I'm her twin sister Denise and these are my pokemons, Turtwig and Eevee."Denise greeted.
"Piplup."Piplup replied.
"Turtwig."Turtwig answered.
"Eevee."Eevee stated.
"So, that's a Piplup and a Turtwig, huh?"Ash asked, looking in his Pokédex. "Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon, it's very proud, and its thick fur protects it from the cold."
Ash then checked Turtwig.
"Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon, its shell is made of earth and when it absorbs water it becomes harder."Ash's Pokedex said.
"I sure hope that both of your Pokémon are okay after all of that."Ash said concerned about Piplup, Tutrwig and Eevee.
"Thanks, but Piplup's fine."Dawn said and looked at Piplup. "You tell him."
"Same goes to Turtwig and Eevee."Denise said kindly.
Piplup began to thank Ash, but suddenly fell down, exhausted.
"Ah! Piplup, no!"Dawn gasped.
"Obviously, something's wrong."Brock said. "I'll do everything I can to help."
He placed Piplup on his lap and checked the Water Pokemon.
Brock took out a Super Potion, spraying it on Piplup. "It's important for any trainers to know their condition of their Pokémon."
That made Dawn slump down to her knees. "I'm sorry Piplup."
"Piplup."Piplup said weakly.
"Now, let's have a look at your pokemon, Denise."Brock said.
"Sure..."Denise said with a smile.
After healing Turtwig and Eevee, Brock healed Pikachu.
"Hey thanks, Brock."Ash said. "You're the best!"
Afterwards...
Later, they all arrived at a phone booth, where they all called Professor Rowan.
"Well, that's excellent! I can't tell you how happy I am for you!"Professor Rowan replied. "Everything worked out just perfectly!"
"Thanks for the compliment, Professor Rowan."Denise said with a smile.
"Of course."Professor Rowan said and looked at Ash. "By the way, Ash, I've just received a package from your mother."
"From my mum?"Ash asked in surprise.
Meanwhile...
The boy Ash and Brock met earlier was looking at the destroyed Team Rocket robot with his Elekid.
A few hours later...
Ash, Dawn, Denise and Brock arrived at Professor Rowan's research Lab thanks to Officer Jenny's tip.
When they arrived, Professor Rowan gave Ash the package that was from his mum, Delia Ketchum.
"Wow! Look at these clothes!"Ash said.
In the package, there was a green backpack with a Pokeball sign on the center.
There was a black-white short sleeve jacket with a yellow zigzag in the middle.
There were also red and black sneakers.
Finally there were long, blue jeans with a red-black cap with a blue check on the center.
Ash then talked to his mother.
"I'm thrilled."Delia said on the screen. "Such a handsome young man."
"That's really nice of you, Mum." Ash said smiling at his mother.
"I wanted to give them to you while you were here...but you flew out of the house in such a rush."Delia said with a sad smile.
"Sorry, mum, but, everything's going well in the Sinnoh region here."Ash said. "I can't tell you how psyched I am!"
"Well, I see that! You did call Professor Oak that Pikachu's safe, didn't you?"Delia asked.
Ash gasped in realization. "Oh man! I forgot!"
So with Dawn, Denise and Brock, Ash contacted Professor Oak using Professor Rowan's big screen phone.
"I appreciate hearing the good news, young man."Professor Oak exclaimed and relieved to see both Pikachu and Ash safe.
"And this is Dawn and her twin sister Denise."Ash introduced. "The two of them have saved Pikachu and this is Professor Oak."
"It's an honor to see you, Professor!"Dawn said bowing down.
"It's also an honor to meet you, professor."Denise greeted with a bow also.
"It's also a pleasure to meet you the two of you."Professor Oak said.
"Thank you! I hope that you don't mind, but...you love Pokemon poetry, don't you?"Dawn asked.
That shook Ash and Brock.
"Oh brother."Denise muttered under her breath.
"Yes, I do."Professor Oak answered.
"Awesome! Does that mean you know all the Pokémon poets?"Dawn asked in excitement looking at Ash.
"You don't get it."Ash said awkwardly. "He's a real professor! Just like Professor Rowan."
"That's what I told her."Denise admitted.
"Not much, actually."Brock answered.
"But how come I always see him in TV reading poems?"Dawn asked.
Denise sweat dropped and let out a small chuckle.
Just as Ash was about to respond, Professor Rowan came by.
"Perhaps the professor and I could have a little discussion."Professor Rowan said.
"Hello Professor, say Ash may I speak with him for a moment?"Professor Oak asked.
Sure..."Ash replied.
As the two professors talked, Brock guessed that the two of them were from a long back.
"So what are you two doing here anyway?"Dawn asked.
"Well, I came here to compete in the Sinnoh League and win."Ash explained.
"Really? I guess that makes us rivals then."Denise admitted. "I too plan to compete in the Sinnoh League."
"That's cool."Ash said with a smile.
"Well, the closest Gym from Sandgem Town here is in Oreburgh City."Brock said looking at his map book. "It's past Jublife City."
"That's awesome! Can me and my sister go with you?"Dawn asked.
Ash and Brock looked at the two girls in surprise.
"My dream is to become the number 1 Coordinator!"Dawn said. "And my first contest from here is in Jublife City."
"We promise we won't be any trouble."Denise assured with a smile.
"Great then! Come along with us."Ash answered. "Like people say, the more, the merrier!"
"Of course! It'll be more fun." Brock agreed.
Aipom, Starly, Piplup, Turtwig and Eevee came over to agree with the idea.
"And I'll get to spend some time with Pikachu."Dawn giggled, gesturing to Ash's Electric Type Pokémon.
"While I get to know more about Aipom."Denise said sweetly rubbing Aipom's head making him giggle.
Ash, Dawn and Denise returned their Pokémon to their Pokeballs.
"Okay! We're all set! Let's get going."Ash said.
"Hold on! Aren't you going to put Pikachu in a Pokéball, too?"Dawn asked.
"Nah, Pikachu doesn't like to be inside there when my shoulder is much more fun."Ash replied.
"Pika Pika!"Pikachu said with a nod and a smile.
"Now I get it."Denise replied. "That's why you didn't return Pikachu when you made Team Rocket took off."
"You'll learn that there are many Pokémon with different Pokeball personality, whether that like it in there or not." Rowan explained to Dawn and Denise.
"We gotta get going now."Ash replied. "Thanks for everything you've done for us, Professor!"
"Of course."Rowan said.
So, the five people left the Lab, only to confront the boy who was standing in front of the lab entrance staring at Ash.
Denise blushed a little bit at the sight of him.
"Whoa, he's kinda cute..."She thought.
"Yes? Who are you?" Rowan asked.
"The name's Paul and from the looks of things, you must be Professor Rowan, I was waiting for him."Paul explained gesturing to Ash.
"Who, me?"Ash asked.
"You've got three Pokémon now, wanna battle?"Paul asked with a smirk.
Ash was about to answer, but stopped when Pikachu faced Paul bravely.
"Sure! I'm ready! I'm gonna be Pokémon Master!"Ash said confidently. "And the way to do that is to beat challengers like you!"
"Pika!"Pikachu replied, glaring at Paul.
"Then off in my back garden."Professor Rowan replied.
The six went to the back garden.
Denise held Eevee in her arms so they can watch the battle together.
Brock volunteered to be the referee, while Ash and Paul faced each other.
Dawn, Denise and Professor Rowan watched from the sidelines.
"This is great!"Dawn said in excitement.
"We've never seen a Pokémon battle before."Denise said.
"Well, your both seeing one now."Ash admitted.
This made Paul let out a small chuckle.
"What's so funny, Paul?"Ash asked in annoyance.
"Just that...you talk like a little kid somehow."Paul answered.
"Oh yeah?"Ash asked.
"Yeah, okay, it's like I said before, this is gonna be a three-on-three battle."Paul explained. "With no substitutions, the winner will be when one of us gets two wins, got it?"
"Alright! Starly, I choose you!"Ash called out sending out his Flying Type Pokémon.
"Now Starly, standby! I choose you!" Paul said sending his own Starly out to the battle. "Okay Ash, I'll let you go first."
"Right! Starly, use Quick Attack!"Ash ordered.
Starly quickly slashed Paul's Starly causing it to fall.
"It's a hit!"Dawn said happily.
"True, but it looked that it didn't do much damage."Professor Rowan admitted.
"Huh?"Denise asked as she and Dawn looked at him in surprise.
"I think Paul is just testing Ash's swift attack power from the start."Professor Rowan stated.
"Starly, Aerial Ace!"Paul ordered
Paul's Starly shot straight up and bashed into Ash's Starly.
"Starly use Wing Attack!"Ash ordered.
"Quick! Double Team!"Paul said.
Clones of Starly appeared causing confusion on Ash's Starly.
"The real one's behind you!"Ash warned. "Dodge it now!"
"Aerial Ace!"Paul ordered.
Once again, Ash's Starly was hit by the powerful Flying Type move.
It fell down and fainted.
"Ash's Starly is unable to battle!"Brock declared. "Paul's Starly wins!"
"Starly, return!"Ash said returning his fainted Pokémon. "Your were great Starly."
"I think I figured out your battle style, you cover up by wearing attacks to push it."Pail said. "And when you combine with a lame strategy like that, I can't help but feel sorry for your Pokémon with a weak trainer like you."
He then returned his Starly.
"That's all you've got?" Paul asked coldly.
This caused Denise to give him a small glare.
"Pfft for a trainer he is quite a jerk."She thought.
"Now, Aipom! You're up next!"Ash called out sending his Normal Type Pokémon.
"Standby, Chimchar!"Paul ordered, sending out his Chimchar.
"A Chimchar."Ash said as he checked Chimchar in her Pokedex.
"Chimchar the Monkey Pokémon."Ash's Pokedex said. "Chimchar easily climbs trees and lives in mountain tops, when it sleeps its flame goes out."
"Well, isn't that nice? You've got your Chimchar lesson from a beginner."Paul said with a smirk.
Ash glared at him in annoyance. "Aipom use Swift!"
Aipom threw stars with its tail.
"Ember!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar fired ember making the two moves collide and exploding.
"Focus Punch, go!"Ash yelled.
Aipom prepared to use one of its powerful moves as it charged up.
"Use Flame Wheel!" Paul ordered.
"Chim...char!" Chimchar yelled as it smashed into Aipom with a fire wheel.
Denise gasped in surprise.
"That Focus Punch disappeared!"Dawn said.
"Yes, if a Pokémon is using Focus Punch and gets attacked before it's complete, the attack can't be finished." Rowan explained.
"Not a good choice of an attack, Ash."Paul said with a smirk. "Chimchar, go!"
Chimchar charged at Aipom.
"Double team, Aipom!"Ash ordered.
Aipom used Double Team to confuse Chimchar.
"Ember!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar used Ember making all of the fake Aipoms vanish causing Ash to gasp.
"Uh oh!"He said.
"Now, use Scratch!"Paul ordered.
Chimchar lashed at Aipom, dealing more damage.
"Focus Punch again Aipom!"Ash ordered.
"Chimchar, use Flame Wheel!"Paul ordered.
The Chimp Pokémon charged with its Fire Type attack.
"Just wait, that's it!"Ash replied.
"What is he thinking!?"Paul muttered.
The Flame Wheel got closer as Ash used this Aipom the signal.
The Normal Type used its tail to leap up and bash into Chimchar,
The Fire Type was knocked out by the Fighting Type move.
"Chimchar's unable to battle! Aipom's the winner!"Brock declared.
"Alright!"Dawn giggled, leaping in the air with glee.
Denise and Eevee sighed.
"That's a relief."Denise admitted.
"Eev..."Eevee said softly.
Paul returned Chimchar glaring at the Pokeball. "You're still useless as you can be."
Ash returned Aipom. "You were awsome."
He then looked at Paul.
"It looks like it's one on one."Ash stated looking at Paul and kneeled down to Pikachu. "Pikachu, it's you and me are you ready?"
"Pika!"Pikachu said as he ran in the grassy field.
"Standby, Elekid!"Paul said sending his Electric Type out.
"Ele!"Elekid snickered.
"Elekid how cool."Dawn said as she checked Elekid in her pokedex.
"Elekid, the Electric Pokémon."Dawn's Pokedex said. "Elekid waves it arms to produce strong, electrical charge and leans straight, when lightning is on."
"Wonder how this is gonna go since they're both electric types."Denise said.
Eevee nodded in agreement. "Eevee."
"Is Pikachu the one to use Volt Tackle?"Paul asked.
"Yeah, so what?"Ash demanded.
Paul smirked. "So, nothing."
"Alright, Pikachu! Use Thunderbolt!"Ash ordered.
Pikachu struck its Electric Type move at Elekid, but Elekid didn't seem hurt at all!
Ash and Pikachu gasped by this.
"It doesn't look like it did a thing!"Dawn said in shock.
"True."Professor Rowan replied. "Electric Type Pokémon doesn't sustain many damage when against another Electric Type."
"Thunder, go!"Paul yelled.
A strong lightning zapped Pikachu, causing it to grunt in pain and slide back.
Denise gasped. "Hold on! Thunder looks like it did a lot of damage to Pikachu!"
"Of course, there's a reason why I let you go first."Paul replied.
"What!?"Ash demanded.
"Cause I'm smart!"Paul stated. "Elekid and I used the energy from your Pikachu's Thunderbolt to super charge our Thunder."
"Well, let's see how smart you are!"Ash admitted. "Volt Tackle!"
Pikachu this time charged with a powerful physical Electric Type move, charging at Elekid.
Paul sneered. "Elekid Protect!"
A barrier surrounded Elekid, pushing Pikachu back from the recoil of Volt Tackle.
"How did that happen?" Dawn asked.
"Sis...Volt Tackle is one of the risky moves to Pikachu."Denise explained glaring at Paul and Elekid. "When it strikes, it also deals damage to itself as well."
"Are we done yet?"Paul mocked and snickering.
"Ele."Elekid said with a smirk.
Pikachu struggled to get up as it stood up straight.
"Give up already."Paul demanded.
"No way! Are you kidding! Iron Tail, go!"Ash ordered.
Pikachu attacked this time with a Steel Type move.
"Elekid use Brick Break!"Paul ordered.
Both attacks struck as they both struggled for victory.
"I hate to bring bad news."Paul said with a smirk. "Your Pikachu seems all turned around! But Elekid's got a free arm!"
Ash gasped.
"ThunderPunch, now!"Paul ordered.
"Not so fast! Iron Tail's still on the way!"Ash stated.
Pikachu slammed ThunderPunch out of the way and slammed Elekid away.
"Alright, Pikachu!"Ash cheered.
"C'mon! Brick Break again!"Paul ordered.
A punch blasted Pikachu away, sending him toward the ground.
As Pikachu and Elekid landed on the ground, the two Electric Types fell.
They were both knocked out.
"We have a tie!"Brock declared. "Both sides are unable to battle!"
Ash gasped while Paul just scoffed.
"Wow, I guess that means they're equally strong."Dawn said with a surprised look.
"I'm not sure if Ash thinks that, sis."Denise admitted as all of them walked towards Ash and Eevee jumped off her arms.
"That seemed like a tie to me."Brock replied.
"Well, not me! Pikachu was the first to go down."Ash said. "We lost, isn't that right!?"
"It was called a tie."Paul answered. "A tie it is."
He then threw a Pokéball releasing his last Starly and it flew away out of sight.
"What did you do that for!?"Ash demanded in annoyance.
"There's a million Starlys that are stronger than that one."Paul said with a smirk. "And when I find it, I'm gonna grab it."
"What did you just say!?"Denise snapped while Eevee growled at Paul.
Paul took a moment to look at Denise and Eevee.
He then looked at Professor Rowan. "Professor thank you for using the field, I appreciate it."
Professor Rowan nodded and dismissed him as Paul began to walk away.
"Paul, wait! Let's battle again!"Ash demanded.
Paul pretended not to hear and kept walking.
"Thanks a lot."Ash muttered, while glaring at where Paul left.
Pikachu opened his eyes and glared.
"And so Ash wears off against his most unusual rival, his opposite in many ways, but one thing is for sure now having join forces with Brock, Dawn and Denise...Ash's Sinnoh Adventures are just beginning..."
