The Power of Two

chapter 11

Meanwhile Akito and Ash were trying to make their way to Ice Island. Ash's Pokemon were making a sled-like way to get them to Ice Island better and they wouldn't be frozen. The closer they got, the more explosive things got between the bird Pokemon. Hopefully they could still make it there alive without the birds and their elements of destruction. They were almost there and a big ice shard was rising up as Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charizard kept pulling them. It wasn't enough though, they were all now starting to fall.

"Uh-oh, Ash, return Charizard!" Akito called out.

Ash did that, and then he with Akito were now running away from the ice destruction. They all looked back after Ash tripped and fell to the ground and the birds kept fighting. 

"We'll never get there now..." Ash mumbled.

There was a boat coming in the distance, getting their attention.

"Who could that be?" Akito wondered.

It was none other than the annoying trio along Estelle and Emi. Jessie and James did their irksome rhymes as they were using the raft through the snow. They actually mentioned they were going to do something nice for a change. 

"I know that blue-haired fellow," Forte recognized James now. "When he lived in the mansion, I used to tutor him for piano and English."

Cherry sighed in slight annoyance. "I went to school with him... He always bugged me about being his girlfriend..."

"If I remember, you were smitten with him yourself." Forte slightly teased.

Cherry growled, her face turning pink in annoyance and embarrassment. "I don't wanna talk about it."

"Okay, okay." Forte said.

"Wait, are Emi and Estelle with them?" Misty asked.

"It is looking that way," Felicity said based on what she could see. "I do not understand why though..."

"Either way, I still don't like those two." Tracey sneered about Team Rocket.

They now flew up and across to the other side of the ice that was blocking them.

"What are they doing here?" Ash asked as the raft with Team Rocket was coming closer to them. 

Jessie and James mentioned how they talked with Emi and Estelle and that they were going to be nice. So far, just this once and unsure about future times. The bad guys took them for a ride through the ice, it was slippery, but they were still able to drive. 

"You wanna help?" Akito asked, shocked.

"Of course." Jessie said.

The raft kept going with them.

"Come to think of it, when WAS the last time we had a vacation?" Jessie asked rhetorically.

"It'll be after this if we don't get off Ice Island!" Meowth said as they got closer.

The birds kept flying as the raft was going faster and faster.

"Oh, no, Moltres at 12:00!" Estelle called out.

"ON THE DOUBLE!" Jessie and James chanted as they made the raft turn away from the fire blasts. 

Zapdos and Lugia were getting closer then as the humans kept going on their adventure, this looked really ugly up close. Jessie made the raft go down quicker to the end of Ice Island.

"We have to find the entrance to the shrine!" Emi called out.

"Up there!" Ash pointed as Team Rocket made the raft go into the forest of the icy island.
