"Alright Goodra, use D-Dragon Pulse!" Ash yelled, shooting a powerful dragon pulse at the opposing Luxray, causing critical damage to Clemont's Luxray. A huge blast filled the whole gym as the blast expanded, slowly decreasing when Goodra stopped. As the smoke slowly disappeared, Luxray was shown to be knocked down, fainted by the power of the attack.

"Luxray is unable to battle, the winner is the challenger, Ash!"

Ash raised his fists in the air as he heard his victory, Pikachu jumping onto his shoulder to cheer with him. Goodra was wobbling, the power of his attack had drained him as he smiled at his trainer, attempting his best at standing. Ash took Goodra's Pokéball and put him in, a flash of red light taking him in.

"You did beautifully Goodra, you deserve to rest." He mumbled to the Pokéball, putting it back into his belt. Ash pondered for a moment, looking at the ground as he did so.

When had he ever used beautifully to describe his Pokémon?

He shot the thought out of his mind has his friends stepped away from the sidelines, rushing down to congratulate him, he smiled as he did so, Clemont heading towards him from the opposite end of the battlefield.

"That was a very intense battle Ash, you deserve this." He opened his hand out, revealing an electric-like badge, Ash took the badge happily, raising it in the air as he did so. Serena gave him a pat on the shoulder, Ash automatically turning his attention to her.

"You did great Ash! Congratulations." She smiled cheerfully, her hand resting on his shoulder.

"Thanks Serena!" He smiled, looking down at his Pokéball. "Goodra was amazing, I couldn't of asked for better performance." He rubbed the top of the Pokéball with his finger, smiling down at it. He couldn't help but feel happy when he felt Goodra was smiling back.

"He was pretty amazing actually, I thought he couldn't do it for a while, but he pulled through!" Serena cheered happily, retracting her hand from Ash's shoulder. Dedenne was with Meowstic on the sidelines, the two seemed to stop talking as they went to join the group.

"Meowstic!" The Pokémon cheered, jumping up at him and giving Ash a heartwarming hug. Ash smiled as he returned the Pokémon's hug, placing him back on the ground.

"Thanks for the support Meowstic! You were pretty motivating." He replied happily, giving him a smile as he walked to Serena's side.

The group left the gym as they walked into the city, chattering away amongst themselves. They decided to take an alleyway shortcut down to the apartment which they were staying in, since the normal road had been blocked off for a mysterious reason. The group didn't mind, as they walked down the alleyway, continuing to gossip and chatter.

A sudden Meowth appeared shortly further ahead of the group on all fours as it faced away from them, licking it's paw. The Meowstic looked at the Pokémon curiously as it walked ahead, the Meowth not making eye-contact.

"Meowstic..?" The Pokémon replied curiously as it wondered up to the Meowth, approaching it cautiously.

The group hadn't taken notice of Meowstic's absence until they approached the Meowstic further ahead with a Meowth, Ash became wary as he rushed up to the Pokémon.

"Meowstic-wait!" He called, the group's attention was caught by Ash's worried tone.

"Meowst-" The Pokèmon was cut off by a hand over his face as the Meowth had turned around, grasping the Meowstic tightly as he threw it into a different joint of the alleyway, where a truck was waiting. He suddenly started pulling faces as the truck drove ahead, him jumping into it. The truck had stopped at the very end of the alleyway, Meowth holding the Meowstic tightly.

"Come and get em twerps!" He called, giving a sheepish grin. Serena was the first to react, rushing towards the van with her Pokéball in hand as she was about to throw. A sudden hand had stopped her from throwing as it grabbed her tightly, throwing her into the van also. It was Jessie from Team Rocket!? They should of guessed by now.

"Prepare for trouble, why you are so dumb!
And make it double, were just having some fun!
To protect the world from devastation,
To unite all peoples within out nation,
To denounce the evils of truth and love,
To extend our reach to the stars above!
Jessie!
And James!
Team Rocket's blasting off at the speed of light!
Surrender now, or prepare to fight, fight fight!
Meowth, that's right!
Wobbuffet!"

"Team Rocket! W-what are you doing!? Serena!!" Ash yelled, he attempted to run towards the van as Clemont stopped him, Ash looking back at him.

"Clemont! Come on! I need to-"

"No Ash, they have Serena, if you attempt to attack them...they might hurt her.." He said worryingly, Ash taking a slight moment to think, then nodding hesitantly, agreeing.

"What do you want with her!" He growled angrily, his eyes burning with rage. Team Rocket laughed, restraining Serena and the Meowstic with ropes.

"Oh! We want nothing with her, but..give us Pikachu! Then we will..consider giving her back to you.." Jessie replied, a calm tone in her voice, but aggression showing in her eyes. Serena looked at Ash, her worried face made him melt as he glanced back at Jessie, hesitation growing in his mud-brown eyes.

"Tch...hmph.." He mumbled, grinding his teeth as he looked over at Pikachu on his shoulder. Pikachu glanced at his trainer worryingly, his eyes filled with concern and worry, but..he also looked scared. Ash glanced back at Serena, she looked scared too.

"Hrgh.." He mumbled to himself, looking at the ground, his hat covering his eyes as he debated with himself, his hands clenching into fists. Team Rocket stared at him, watching him contently as Jessie folded her arms, her smile growing in her face.

"Well? What will it be twerp? The girl, or your Pikachu!? We don't have all day."

Ash looked at Bonnie and Clemont, they were both staring at him worried as Ash turned to face Team Rocket.

"I.." He spoke, his answer burning at the tip of his lips as he looked up at Team Rocket, his eyes growing with concern. He clenched his fists as he stared intensively at Team Rocket. "I..I choose.."
