The next day, Ash, Iris, and I walked down the path towards Striaton City. Pikachu and Gina were happily singing with Axew while Ash and Iris were arguing about something that I had no idea what it was about.

I totally forgot me and Ash's talk last night so I got in between them and yelled, "Will you guys just shut up? You guys are acting like a bunch of Shuppets!"

"Sorry, AK," said Iris. She glared at Ash with an evil glare.

"Yeah, sorry, AK." He muttered. I smiled.

"I can live with that." I said. "Now, let's continue on our journey to the city where I can win my first diamond bracelet. "

"Bracelet?" They asked in unison.

"Yes," I said, pushing them forward. "In Unova dance competitions, the winner will be rewarded with a bracelet that's made out of whatever the city is like. For example, if I win the Straiton City Competition, then I will get a diamond bracelet because a ton of people are all about being glamorous and what not."

Have you been there? asked Gina. I shook my head but I did think that it would be cool to go there when I was old enough. So here I was heading to a pokemon competition there.

"Well at least you get to compete in it, right?" asked Ash. I rolled my eyes, very annoyed.

I stepped in between them and started to walk in front of them. Suddenly, I saw robotic arms grab Gina, Pikachu, and Axew. The arm retracted (I think that's what's called). The arm dropped our pokemon in a glass box and behind it, I saw two humans and a pokemon.

I got out my pokedex and it said; 'Meowth. The cat pokemon. Meowths can be very clever and can outsmart a couple people, depending on what type of people they are.'

"Team Rocket!" yelled Ash. "I should've known it was you!" Team Rocket? More like Team out of style losers with a pathetic excuse of a uniform. The girl had pink 80s style hair and the old guy had blue hair. The Meowth looked normal but the two humans were like they came from the 12th century.

"Looks like you got ya self some new playmates, twerp," said the Meowth. Me and Iris' eyes widened to the thought that Meowth's mouth was moving while he spoke.

"Give us back our pokemon!" Ash shouted. The girl giggled.

"Yeah right." she said. "Go Swoobat!" she called a puffy cotton ball bat out and said, "Swoobat, defeat these annoying twerps with sonic." Swoobat released an ear piercing scream that made us cover our ears.

"We won't just give you your pokemon back." The boy said. Ash's eyes glowed red with anger - not really but he was angry - and called Pidove out.

"Then I'll beat you, just like the times before! Pidove, use gust!" Pidove flapped her wings and made the girl's Swoobat blow away but it wasn't enough.

"Anna, use Serene Grace on the glass box!" I called Anna out and she used Serene Grace with glowing balls evolving around her, then shot them at the glass box. It didn't work. I thanked her and sent her back in her pokeball.

"Nice job, AK," comforted Ash. "Leave it to me to get our pokemon back." He turned to face Team Loserville but I grabbed his shoulder for him to face me.

"No Ash," I said. "We get our pokemon. Together." He nodded. I looked at Gina, Pikachu, and Axew, looking pretty angry. Mostly Gina. "Gina, use Water blade!" Gina's paw had water surrounding it. But before she got a chance, an Oshawatt came and slashed the glass box with his scalchop. It split and let our pokemon fell into our arms.

"You will never get away with this." said the girl. The boy then slammed a bomb onto the ground and they flew out of the smoke with jet packs.

"We will get that Pikachu, twerp!" shouted the boy.

"And your little Zigzagera, too!" added Meowth. And with that, they disappeared in the sky.

I feel so light headed, said Gina. I placed my hand on her forehead and she felt normal.

"You're not hot," I said. I turned to Ash and asked, "Is there a pokemon center somewhere?" He nodded.

"Yeah. Professor Juniper said that there is one at the edge of the woods. Why?" he asked.

"Because Gina feels light headed," I said.

"All right," he said. "Follow me."
