He found another small piece of paper in the envelope. He read the paper silently first and then aloud.

Dear Ash and Serena

Actually, I sent the letter to you people. At least you could let me know where you decide to head. It is so tough to track you especially with the arrangements for the tournament going on. I really hope to see you both at the tournament. To add to your motivation, I want to inform you that most of your 'old friends' have been invited to participate in the tournament and possibly the others are going to turn up too in order to support them.

See you soon Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum. Goodbye for now my friends.

Scott

He and Serena looked at each other laughing at the Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum reference. All the pokemon smiled and stared enthusiastically as Ash read the letter.

"Well, what do you know; we only have got ten days to get ready." Ash announced grinning. All his and Serena's Pokemon roared. Serena knew what the world was just about to witness. Meowth just smiled. It was time for Ash Ketchum to return.

Meowth flashback

Ash and Serena had been walking for almost two hours now after fleeing from Pallet town and they had now reached the water route that led to Cinnabar Island. They had decided to fly on Charizard and Staraptor to reach Cinnabar Island and then decide their next destination. Ash was almost certain that someone was following them, but every time he looked back, he could not find anyone. After sometime, they decided it was time they took a break. Feeling it was the right time, he released all of his Pokemon, so did Serena and they told them what had happened a couple of hours ago. His Pokemon were so furious that they wanted to tear everyone apart but Ash calmed them down saying that their time would come and they will take revenge. All of them were relaxing when suddenly Pikachu heard something and used thunderbolt on the nearby bush. Out came a screaming Meowth who was immediately surrounded by all of Ash's Pokemon.

"Meowth! So you have come to steal our Pokemon yet again!" Ash said coldly. It would be an understatement to say that Meowth was intimidated.
