This here is part 2 of the fourth arc of the fanfiction of my own version of the Pokémon anime, called Ash's Pokémon Journey, where Ash continues his journey through the Hoenn region before competing in the Hoenn Pokémon league, I hope you'll all like this. [Note: Please don't leave any mean or dirty comments about this story, other than that, please enjoy.]
A legendary battle of Team Aqua vs Team Magma.
It was a nice sunny day with clouds at the seas of Hoenn when Ash and his friends were on a raft, after another one of Team Rocket's failed attempts of stealing Pikachu, and now they were stranded at sea. May: “Oh man… I'm so hungry… and thirsty…” Max: “Well we can't drink sea water… and the only food we have left is for the Pokémon…” suddenly, a submarine came out of the water, and it was heading towards an island. Our heroes tried to call for help, but the people in the submarine didn't hear them, so May sent out her Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip to grab the submarine so the group's raft would follow it. Once they got to the island's shore, they were shocked to see some Team Magma grunts coming out of the submarine, making them realized that they were at a Team Magma hideout. Ash: “Oh man… it's Team Magma…” Brock: “Look… there's someone coming.” said Brock, before the man in question, named Maxwell (voiced by Ted Lewis), who happens to be the boss of Team Magma himself, came to the scene and sees Tabitha and his grunts. Maxwell: “Are they on their way?” Tabitha: “Yes, they should be here soon with Groudon, what about Kyogre?” Maxwell: “It's still sleeping, once we make the trade, we'll finally make our plan to make land dominate the world a reality.” Tabitha: “Yeah… that is if Team Aqua doesn't use Kyogre to make the sea dominate the world first.” Maxwell: “True…” said Maxwell, before Max let a sneeze that gave him and the others away, alerting Team Magma that there were intruders in their base. It wasn't long before Team Magma sends their Pokémon to surround our heroes and taken them to a cell, making sure they don't foil up their plans. Max: “I'm sorry guys… I didn't mean to give us away… stupid nose…” Brock: “It could have happened to anyone.” Ash: “Right now we need to find a way to get out of here…” that was when a Team Magma grunt came to the scene and freed our heroes, much to their surprise, before he revealed himself to be Lance, who was disguised as a grunt once again. Lance: “Funny, isn't this how I first met you?” Ash: “Lance!, boy are we glad to see you.” Max: “Wait… Lance of the Elite 4?!, I can't believe it!” May: “The Elite 4?” Max: “Yeah, the strongest trainers in the world, aside from the league champions of course.” Lance: “Never mind that, you kids need to get out of here, this is dangerous.” Ash: “But we helped you before, and we can do it again.” Lance: “You were lucky last time, but that kind of luck doesn't always stay on your side.” May: “But it's not like we can go anywhere as we're on an island.” Lance: “Hmm… you have a good point there.” meanwhile, Team Magma was at the beach, when another submarine comes out of the water, and Team Aqua grunts, lead by Shelly, and Archie (voiced by Ted Lewis), the boss of Team Aqua, came to the scene. Maxwell: “Well Archie… you have Groudon?” Archie: “That depends… do you have Kyogre?” Maxwell: “We do.” Archie: “Then yes, we have Groudon, now hand over Kyogre.” Maxwell: “Only if you give us Groudon first.” that was when both of the evil team leaders noticed that Ash was close to the large cages that have both Kyogre and Groudon in them. Maxwell: “You again?!” Shelly: “It's that kid back at Dewford island!” Ash: “Pikachu, Thunderbolt!” called out Ash, before Pikachu lets out a powerful Thunderbolt that breaks the locks of the cages, freeing the legendary Pokémon at last. Archie: “That little… perhaps it's a good time to try out the Blue orb…” Maxwell: “The same with the Red orb.” said the two bosses, before the took a hold of a red or blue orb, and somehow they fused into the bodies of the men, and then their eyes began to glow and power flowed through them. Suddenly, both the eyes of Kyogre and Groudon began to glow, showing signs that the two bosses have taken total control of the legendary duo. Ash: “This… can't be good…” Pikachu: [You can say that again…] said Pikachu, before Kyogre and Groudon fired either a Hydro Pump or Flamethrower at the pair, only for Lance's red Gyarados to catch and carry them away from the danger just in the nick of time. Once Ash and Pikachu got off of the red Gyarados, Lance and the others came over to them. May: “Are you alright?!” Ash: “Yeah, but what just happened?” Lance: “There is a legend that men once created a pair of orbs, called the blue and red orb, to allow them to control both Kyogre and Groudon, but they were hidden away so that such power would not fall into the wrong hands… but it looks like they have now…” Max: “Wait a minute… Ash, didn't we find something like those orbs under that dead tree?” asked Max, before Ash pulls out the green orb that Max was talking about, and the sight of it made Lance to gasp. Lance: “That's the green orb!, it has the power to control Rayquaza.” May: “Is that another legendary Pokémon?” Lance: “Yes, it's supposed to be the ruler of the skies of Hoenn, while Kyogre and Groudon ruled the seas and land.” Brock: “And this Green orb can control Rayquaza?” Lance: “Yes…” suddenly, the Green orb got fused into Ash, much to his surprise, and that was he heard a voice that he never heard before, which came from Rayquaza itself. Rayquaza: [Human, can you hear me?] Ash: “Huh?, who's that?” Rayquaza: [I'll take that as a yes, I'm Rayquaza, and I allow the Green orb to bound with you so that you can help me stop Groudon and Kyogre.] Ash: “You need my help?, sure… but where are you?” Rayquaza: [Right above you.] said Rayquaza, which made Ash look up and sees the legendary green serpent like Pokémon itself, hovering above the island. Maxwell: “No way…” Archie: “Rayquaza?!” May: “Wow… it looks so majestic…” Lance: “Yes, legendary Pokémon are quite a sight to behold…” Brock: “Wow… and I thought Ho-oh and Lugia were big…” Max: “Wait… you seen both Ho-oh and Lugia?!” Brock: “Yeah… mostly because the legendary Pokémon have an interest in Ash due to his pure heart.” Max: “Really?… wow…” said Max, before Ash takes a ride on the head of Rayquaza, who was ready to battle the two other legendary Pokémon. Maxwell: “So… that kid got a hold of the Green orb… did he?… well no matter, Groudon and I shall take care of them… and the world will be all land.” Archie: “Ha!, you wish!, it's the seas that will rule this world!” Ash: “You're both wrong!, the world should have both land and sea!, and we're not gonna let you destroy either one!” called out Ash, before he and Rayquaza went to battle the evil Team bosses and the other two legendary Pokémon. The battle was intense, and it was to decide the fate of the Hoenn region. Soon, the battle finally ended with both Groudon and Kyogre defeated, and the Team bosses too, and as a result, the Blue orb and Red orb were out of their bodies. It wasn't long when Ash got back to the ground, and the green orb came out of his body. Rayquaza: [Thank you boy… Hoenn is safe again… thanks to you.] Ash: “Oh it was nothing really… I'm just happy that I was able to help.” Rayquaza: [Well either way… Hoenn is in your debt, now I must go… but first…] said Rayquaza, before he uses some psychic power to make all three orbs to float up and glowed before vanishing without a trace. Ash: “What happened to the orbs?” Rayquaza: [I destroyed them… so us legendaries won't be controlled against our will again… well… farewell.] said Rayquaza, before he, along with Groudon and Kyogre left the scene, leaving Ash and the others alone on the island. May: “Um… did they just left us here?” Lance: “Don't forget I'm here, once I call the authorities to arrest the bosses of both Team Aqua and Team Magma, I can get us a ride back to land.” Max: “Thanks, that will help us a lot.” soon, the police of Hoenn came and arrested both the bosses of Team Aqua and Team Magma, marking the end of both organizations. As soon as they came back to the mainland of Hoenn, Ash and his friends arrived to Mossdeep city, where the seventh gym leader was, only to learn that the gym was run by two gym leaders, who were twin brother and sister, who use psychic types. The battle was tough, and it was a double team battle, mean the gym leaders battle Ash at the same time, while he uses Pikachu and Swellow. But thanks to some teamwork, Ash was able to beat the gym leaders, and earned himself the Mind badge. Ash: “Well… one more badge to go and I can finally compete in the Hoenn league…” Max: “I'm sure you can do it.” Ash: “Wait… you're rooting for me now?” Max: “Yeah… after seeing you battle the bosses of Team Aqua and Team Magma on that island… I can't help but think how awesome you are.” Ash: “Thanks I guess.” May: “I have to agree with Max on this one, you were really something.” Brock: “Looks like you got some fans now.” Ash: “Well… I wasn't aiming to have fans, I'm just trying to become a Pokémon master.” Brock: “And I'm sure you can do it.” and so Ash has defeated the bosses of Team Aqua and Team Magma, and has earned himself his seventh Hoenn gym badge, who knows what's next for our heroes as the journey continues.
A cold catch on Izabe island.
After stopping both Team Aqua & Team Magma, and earning his seventh Hoenn gym badge, Ash went to Izabe island to ask the Nurse Joy there to heal his Pokémon, along with May and Brock's as well. As soon as Pikachu was fully recovered, he noticed a Pokémon, which was called a Snorunt, was trying to take something from Ash's backpack. Pikachu: [Hey!, that's Ash's backpack!] Snorunt: [Uh oh… busted… oh well, catch me if you can!] said Snorunt, before he makes a run for it, with the badge case that has all the badges that Ash earned so far in Hoenn. Pikachu goes after the Snorunt, and it wasn't long before Ash, who saw the theft too, begins to follow, leaving the others behind. Nurse Joy: “Looks like that Snorunt has struck again…” Max: “You mean this has happened before?” Nurse Joy: “Yeah, that Snorunt loves to pull pranks on trainers, like taking the badges, but it always give them back in the end as he loves the chase and all that.” Brock: “That's good to hear, though I'm worried about Ash going after Snorunt alone…” May: “What do you mean?” Brock: “I know Ash long enough that he tends to run into big trouble, and there's a chance that Team Rocket could attack him and Pikachu.” Max: “You're right, we better go after them.” Nurse Joy: “Just don't be out there too long, there's a snowstorm on the way.” Brock: “Got it.” said Brock, before he, along with May and Max, head outside to follow Ash. At a snowy forest, Snorunt was still running off with the badge case, unaware that he was heading for an edge of a cliff. Ash and Pikachu saw this and tried to warn the ice type. Ash: “Hey stop!, you're heading for a cliff!” Snorunt: [Huh?] asked Snorunt, before he looks ahead and sees that he was right in front of the edge of a small cliff. The ice type lost balance and fell, only for Ash to jump and caught the ice type in his arms, and landed in the snow. When Pikachu climbed down to the bottom, he sees that Ash knocked out, while Snorunt was checking on the boy. Pikachu: [Ash!, are you okay?!, speak to me!] Snorunt: [Oh no… he's not… you know…] Pikachu: [He's breathing… that's a good sign… but he's out cold…] Snorunt: [That's not good… as there's a snowstorm coming… if he stays out here like this… he won't last long…] Pikachu: [Maybe you should have thought of that before you lured him here!] Snorunt: [Hold on!, you don't think I tried to kill him do ya?] Pikachu: [Well you took his badges and brought him here!] Snorunt: [I didn't mean any harm, I was just playing with him, honest… I never wanted anyone to get hurt… or die… I'm so sorry…] said Snorunt, as he began to cry as he felt guilty for putting Ash in such condition, while Pikachu felt less angry and placed his paw on the ice type for comfort. Pikachu: [It's okay… I understand… but now we need to find help and fast…” Snorunt: [I'll go get help, you can stay with the human.] Pikachu: [Good idea… but he has a name, it's Ash.] Snorunt: [Okay, um… can I barrow his hat?] Pikachu: [What for?] Snorunt: [To let someone know Ash needs help.] Pikachu: [Good idea, just hurry.] Snorunt: [Got it, I might like pranks… but I can be very serious when it comes to battles and helping those in need.] said Snorunt, before he takes Ash's hat and runs off to find help as fast as he could. It wasn't long before the sky began to be covered in dark clouds, and Brock, May and Max were still searching for Ash, before Snorunt came over to them, showing Ash's hat. May: “That's Ash's hat…” Max: “Does that mean something happened to him?” Brock: “Snorunt, take us to Ash, quick.” said Brock, before Snorunt nodded, and leads the group to where Ash was. By the time he woke up, Ash sees that he was back in the Pokémon center, with Pikachu and Snorunt in front of him. Ash: “Oh… Pikachu… Snorunt… what happened?” Pikachu: [You were knocked out when you saved Snorunt from that fall, and Snorunt used your hat to guide Brock and the others to find you.] Snorunt: [Yeah… I'm really sorry about what happened… I didn't mean to get you hurt… it was an accident… I was just trying to play with you… can you ever forgive me?] Ash: “Sure… I forgive you, I can't stay mad at the Pokémon that saved my life.” Snorunt: [Wait… did you… understood what I just said?] Pikachu: [Oh right, I forgot to tell ya that Ash can talk to Pokémon too.] Snorunt: [Really?, that's amazing!] Ash: “Yeah, but it's suppose to be a secret, as if the wrong people knew about it… they could use me for their own greedy plans, at least that's what my mom and Professor Oak told me.” Snorunt: [Don't worry, your secret's safe with me… and it's not like anyone would believe it anyway.] Ash: “How true…” it wasn't long before Brock, May and Max came over to Ash, to see if he's okay, before May went to hug him. May: “You idiot!, why did you made us worry like that?!” Ash: “Sorry May… I never meant to worry anyone.” Brock: “Well all that matters is that you're okay now, thanks to Snorunt here.” this made Snorunt blush a little as he was being praised for his heroic deed. Once the storm was over, it was time to go, but before they left, Snorunt decided to join Ash's team, and once that happened, Ash went to look into his Pokédex to learn more about his newest catch. Pokédex: [Snorunt is the Snow Hat Pokémon, it's said that any home that gets a visit from it would be blessed with good fortune.] Ash: “I wonder if that's really true…” Max: “Well it did save you from that snow storm, so that was a good fortune.” Ash: “Yeah… I guess it was.” May: “I wonder if we'll get more good fortune too?” Brock: “Only the future will tell I guess.” some time later, the group finally made it to Sootopolis city, home of the eighth Hoenn gym leader, who uses his water types. The battle was tough, but thanks to some team work and determination, Ash was able to beat the gym leader and won himself the Rain badge. It wasn't long before the Team Rocket trio showed up and tried to steal the water Pokémon, but Snorunt was not willing to let them hurt Ash in the process, and that was when his body glowed and evolved into a floating ice ball with eyes, a mouth and horns on his head called Glalie. The newly evolved ice type was able to stop Team Rocket and Pikachu uses a powerful Thunderbolt to send them flying once again, leaving the gym leader to thank Ash for saving the Pokémon. After leaving the city, Ash pulls out his Pokédex to learn more about his ice type's new evolved form. Pokédex: [Glalie is the Face Pokémon and the evolved form of Snorunt, it's icy covered body doesn't melt even under a direct flame and can freeze even vapors of air instantly.] Ash: “Yeah… I witness it myself from that battle against Team Rocket…” May: “Hey Ash, with the Rain badge, you got 8 badges now, right?” Ash: “Sure do, meaning I'm finally able to compete in the Hoenn league…” Max: “Hey May… what do you think could be in that Pokémon egg that the gym leader gave you?” asked Max, looking at the Pokémon egg that the gym leader gave to May as a token of gratitude for helping Ash save the water Pokémon of the gym from Team Rocket. May: “I don't know, but I was told it's a Pokémon native from another region called Sinnoh… I'll bet it's a real cutie.” and so Ash caught a Snorunt, which has evolved into a Glalie, and has earned his eighth and last Hoenn gym badge, while May got herself a mysterious Pokémon egg. Who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Mirage Mew and the little Manaphy.
After Ash caught Snorunt, which evolved into Glalie, and earned his last Hoenn gym badge, May finally gets her moment to shine after she earned enough ribbons to enter a special Pokémon contest that the winner gets to be top coordinator. Unfortunately, another coordinator, a boy that goes by the name of Drew, beats May, much to her dismay and disappointment, but thanks to the comfort of her friends, she was able to feel better and determined to do better next time. May: “Well… so much for being Top Coordinator…” Ash: “Don't worry May, there's always next time, and to be honest, I didn't win my first league either…” Max: “Or the Johto league either.” Ash: “Well no… but I kept moving forward, and that got me this far, so don't give up on your dream.” May: “You're right Ash, and perhaps whatever is inside this mystery egg can be a big help too.” said May, as she was referring to the egg that she got from the Sootopolis gym leader. Brock: “Hey… look over there.” said Brock, pointing at a mansion that seems to be full of Pokémon that looked like they were almost see through. May: “Hey… why do they look almost see through?” Max: “I don't know…” Ash: “Let's go check it out.” said Ash, before he and the others went to the gates of the mansion, and were surprised to see what looked like some sort of machine that fires a beam on the ground, and what looked like an almost see through hologram of a Swellow was appeared. Standing before the holographic Swellow was Cassidy and Butch, who didn't seemed all that impressed. Cassidy: “Why couldn't we create more powerful Mirage Pokémon by now?” Butch: “Cause we don't have any data on those, well other than Mew of course as it was the data we used to create Mewtwo.” Cassidy: “Yeah, but the Mew we did made won't listen to a thing we say, it only wants to play, what we need to recreate Mewtwo through the Mirage system.” Butch: “But all the data of Mewtwo was destroyed thanks to the original when it escaped from us back at Viridian city, remember?” Cassidy: “Don't remind me.” unaware to the Team Rocket pair, Ash and the others heard everything.” May: “Hey… those are the Team Rocket goons we ran into back at the Forbidden forest…” Brock: “Cassidy and Butch…” Max: “So they're bad news?” Ash: “Yeah, and they're trying to recreate Mewtwo with that machine that makes some sort of holograms of Pokémon…” Max: “But what good would a hologram do against a real Pokémon?” that was when Pikachu noticed what looked like a Pokémon behind him and Ash, causing him to turn around and see what looked like an almost see through pink cat that was floating in midair called Mew. Pikachu: [Ash… we got company…] said Pikachu, causing Ash to turn around and sees Mew in front of him. Mirage Mew: [Hi there, wanna play with me?] Ash: “Uh… I would like to… but now's a bad time… Team Rocket's up to no good…” Mirage Mew: [Yeah… they're really mean ones… not only would they not play with me… but they treat me like dirt and send the other Mirage Pokémon to beat me up just for not listening…] Ash: “What?!, why would they do that?” Mirage Mew: [Wait… did you just… understood what I just said?, the people in yellow or green hair never did that…” Ash: “Yeah… I'm a special case… my name's Ash by the way… what's yours?” Mirage Mew: [Me?, well from what the mean people said… I'm supposed be called Mirage Mew.] Ash: “I can see why, you're like a mirage… but cooler.” Mirage Mew: [You really think so?] Ash: “Yeah, I sure do.” suddenly, the egg that was inside May's bag started to glow, and May pulled out to check on it. That was when the egg started to hatched out, and the baby Pokémon was reveled to be what's supposed to be called Manaphy. When it saw May, it started to cry, and May was doing her best to try calming it down. Unfortunately, the cries of Manaphy caught the attention of the Team Rocket duo, and ran and saw the kids. Cassidy: “Not you twerps again!” Butch: “You losers should know better than to nose into grown up matters.” Ash: “You don't have the right to call us losers after we beaten you many times before, Biff!” Butch: “My name's not Biff!, it's Butch and you know it!” May: “Stop yelling, you're upsetting the poor thing.” said May, referring to Manaphy. Cassidy: “Bob… is that what I think it is…” Butch: “I told you before, my name's Butch!, not Biff!, but yeah… the Pokémon in the girl's arms… that's a Manaphy, a mythical Pokémon native to the Sinnoh region.” Cassidy: “Looks like this could be our lucky day.” May: “You're not laying a finger on my baby!” Butch: “That's cute, this girl thinks she's a mom now.” Cassidy: “Too bad her chance of parenthood is about to end before it could even get started.” Ash: “You're not getting May or Manaphy!, not on my watch!” Brock: “Or mine!” Max: “Or mine either!” shouted the group, while Mirage Mew was astounded by the bravery of the kids. Cassidy: “You might have gotten the upper hand in the past… but not this time, as we have backup.” said Cassidy, before she pressed a button on a remote the summons a lot of different kinds of Mirage Pokémon. Max: “You think you can scare us with holograms?” Butch: “Funny when you mention it, you see these holograms are not only immune to getting hit from the real thing, but they can use attacks just like a real Pokémon too, which is why we're using the Mirage device to create an army of these Mirage Pokémon.” said Butch, before he orders the Mirage Pokémon to attack, only for Mirage Mew to get in the way and use Protect. Mirage Mew: [They're right… us Mirage Pokémon can't get hurt by real Pokémon and we can use the attacks as well… though I wished that weren't true… I don't want to hurt anyone… please Ash, run as fast as you can!, I'll hold them off as long as I can!] Ash: “We're not leaving you!” Mirage Mew: [You have to!, we Mirage Pokémon have a limited area to be projected, I can't be beyond the mansion’s gates, of course neither can the other mirage Pokémon, just go!] called out Mirage Mew, before Butch orders a Mirage Fearow, which is the evolved form of Spearow, to start pecking her, which made Ash really mad. Ash: “Stop it!, you're hurting her!” Butch: “Why would you care, it's not even a real Pokémon.” Ash: “It doesn't matter!, she can still feel the pain, meaning she's more than a hologram!, so stop hurting her!” Cassidy: “Why do you call it a her, it's not even real.” Ash: “She is to me!, so stop it!” Mirage Mew was surprised to hear that, she never heard such kinds words about her from anyone before. Cassidy: “If you want us to stop hurting it, then surrender to us.” Ash was having a hard deciding what to do, either surrender and risk getting Manaphy taken away or risk of Mirage Mew getting badly hurt by the duo. That was when the tips of the antennas of Manaphy started to glow and some beams hit the Team Rocket duo, causing them to glow a little. Once the glow was over, the voices of the duo got switched somehow. Butch: “What was that?” asked Butch, who was now Cassidy, while Cassidy was now Butch. Cassidy: “What the?!, Butch?!, what are doing looking like me?!” Butch: “The name's Butch!, not… oh wait… that's what you said… wait… why do you look like me?!” Cassidy: “Oh no!, we swapped bodies!” Butch: “But how?!” Cassidy: “This must be the ability 'Swap Heart' of Manaphy we heard about!” Max: “Whoa… Manaphy swap the bodies of Team Rocket?!” May: “Wow… I had no idea Manaphy can do that…” Brock: “Well there's probably a lot of things we don't know about Manaphy yet… but we'll figure them out later when we get out of here…” Ash: “But what about Mirage Mew?, we can't leave her.” Pikachu: [Ash… she might have emotions, but you heard her, she can't go beyond the mansion.] Ash: “But…” Mirage Mew: [Don't worry about me, you're the ones who need to go… I'm just happy that… there is someone who sees me as something more than just a failed hologram… thank you…] said Mirage Mew, before a tear started to come out of her eye, and that was when something under Ash's glove started to glow. Ash removes his glove and sees that the Rainbow feather of Ho-oh was glowing, and then he remembered about the legend of Ho-oh's feather giving new life to her legendary guardians, which gave him a crazy idea. Ash: “I wonder… Mirage Mew, come over here, hurry!” said Ash, before Mirage Mew did what he told her, and the boy pressed the feather on the Mirage Pokémon, which started to make her glow brightly, before a big flash of light that nearly blinds everyone for a short moment. Once the light faded, Mirage Mew opened her eyes and noticed that her body was no longer almost see through like before. Mirage Mew: [What happened?, what did you do?] Ash: “I gave you a chance of life.” said Ash, before the Team Rocket duo got back on their feet, and were back to their own bodies. Cassidy: “I don't know what the twerp just did, but he won't foil up our plans again,, Bobby!, set the Mirage machine to self destruct!” Butch: “The name's Butch!, and are you sure?” Cassidy: “Yes, it seems he cares about the Mirage Mew, and even if we lose the Mirage Pokémon, we'll make him suffer of losing the Mew with them at least.” Butch: “You got it.” said Butch, before pressing a button on a remote, and the mirage device exploded, causing all of the Mirage Pokémon to vanish, all of them that is… except for the Mirage Mew, much to the duo surprise. Mirage Mew: [Huh?… why am I still here?] Ash: “Cause what I just did with the feather… I made you become a real Pokémon.” said Ash, making Mirage Mew gasped in shock, before letting out a squeal in joy as she started to move around beyond the mansion and giggling in joy. Mirage Mew: [I'm real!, I'm really real!, it's a miracle!, thank you so much!] Cassidy: “No way… how could…” Butch: “This is impossible!” Ash: “Now that Mirage Mew is safe… Pikachu, you know what to do.” Pikachu: [You got it.] said Pikachu, before he lets out a powerful Thunderbolt that shocked the Team Rocket duo, which sends them flying out of the scene. Once the Team Rocket duo were gone, May pulls out her Pokédex to learn more about the baby Manaphy in her arms. Pokédex: [Manaphy is supposed to be known as the Pokémon prince of the sea, and has an ability called Heart Swap, which can make two individuals switch bodies.] it wasn't long before Ash pulls out his own Pokédex to check out Mirage Mew, who was playing with Pikachu at the moment. Pokédex: [Mew is known as the New Species Pokémon, it can not only change into other Pokémon like a Ditto, but can learn every move there is.] Ash: “Wow… Mew is even cooler than I thought…” said Ash, which Mirage Mew heard him say, causing her to be even more happy and went to give the boy a big hug. Mirage Mew: [Ash… thank you… for being so kind to me… um… can I ask you something…?] Ash: “Sure… what is it?” Mirage Mew: [Um… can I… be your Pokémon?] Ash: “You mean… you want me to catch you?” Mirage Mew: [Yes… you're my first and best friend, and you saved me from getting deleted by Team Rocket with that feather… it would be fair if I help you on your journey… if you're okay with it…] Ash: “Of course, it would be a real honor to have you on my team.” said Ash, before he pulls out a Pokéball and catches Mirage Mew in it. Max: “No way… Ash just caught a Mew…” Brock: “Well he did saved her from Team Rocket, so I guess it would make sense.” May: “And I guess I got myself a Manaphy… and a really cute one too.” said May, as she continues to watch over the baby Manaphy, who is now sleeping. Ash: “Yeah… looks like we all had a big day… makes me wonder what the Hoenn league is gonna be like…” and so Ash has saved Mirage Mew and caught her, while May gets herself a baby Manaphy, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Hoenn Pokémon league.
After the incident with the mirage Pokémon, Ash and his friends arrived to the Hoenn league stadium, which seems to have some trouble at the moment, as President Goodshow was looking worried. Ash: “Hi President Goodshow, what's wrong?” Goodshow: “Oh Ash, good to see you again, I take it that you came to compete in the Hoenn league?” Ash: “That's right.” May: “Um… you know this man?” Brock: “This is Charles Goodshow, president of the Pokémon league, we met him before in the Kanto and Johto league.” Goodshow: “Yes, but I fear that the Hoenn may not be able to come on… as someone stole the flame of Moltres, and right under my nose this time.” Max: “Moltres, I heard of that one, it's a legendary Pokémon native to the Kanto region, and it's flames were used to start the leagues of the world, except for Johto of course as that one used the flame of Ho-oh.” Goodshow: “That is correct my boy, but it seems that someone, disguised as an Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy stole it.” Brock: “Someone had the nerve to pretend to be Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny to steal the torch?!, who would do such a thing?!” that was when Pikachu noticed a very familiar hot air balloon floating nearby. Pikachu: [Ash… I think I have a pretty good idea who did it…] Ash: “You do?, who?” Pikachu: [Look behind ya.] said Pikachu, before Ash turned around, and he and everyone sees the balloon. Ash: “Ugh… should have known…” Brock: “Why am I not surprised…?” Max: “Don't those guys have anything better to do?” Goodshow: “This has to the third time they tried to steal the torch…” May: “This isn't the first time?” asked May, before the Team Rocket trio noticed that they were spotted. Jessie: “Oh nuts, we've been spotted!” James: “I told ya we should have taken the right turn.” Meowth: “Never mind that, here they come!” Ash: “Swellow!, I choose you!, pop Team Rocket's balloon and get the torch back!” called out Ash, as he sends out Swellow, who pops the balloon with his beak, causing the Team Rocket trio to be blasting off again, while the torch was falling and Pikachu managed to catch it just in the nick of time. Pikachu: [Got it!] Ash: “Nice catch.” Pikachu: [Thanks.] Goodshow: “Well my boy, this is the third time you saved the torch from the hands of Team Rocket, I'm beginning to think whenever there is trouble, you arrive to fix it.” Ash: “Well I don't know about that, I just seem to be there at the right time.” Goodshow: “Well either way, we owe you a great gratitude, say… how would you like to run the torch again?” Ash: “Really?” Goodshow: “Sure, I'm sure many fans will love to see the boy who saved the torch from evil hands again.” Ash: “Well… sure thing, I always found it fun to do.” so with that, Ash runs with the torch and takes to the stadium, where can be seen by everyone, allowing the Hoenn Pokémon league to begin. Ash was able to face some tough trainers, like one with a Metang in the top 16 for example, but he was able to pull through, and Grovyle was able to evolve into Sceptile, and Ash pulls out his Pokédex to find out more. Pokédex: [Sceptile is the fully evolved form of Treecko, and it moves lightly through tree branches in order to attack it's opponents.] once Ash got to top 8, he was facing a trainer named Tyson, who was the toughest trainer Ash faced in the Hoenn league yet. Soon both sides were down to their last Pokémon, which was Ash's Pikachu and Tyson's Meowth, which was without a doubt a whole lot tougher than Team Rocket's Meowth for sure. Eventually, the battle came to an end, with Tyson's Meowth as the victor, while Pikachu was defeated, meaning Ash has lost another league. Sometime later, Pikachu was looking down when Ash looked at him. Ash: “Hey buddy, it wasn't your fault, Tyson was just really tough, along with his Meowth, that's all.” Pikachu: [Yeah… but still… I should have kept going…] Ash: “Don't worry, there's always next time.” Pikachu: [Yeah… I guess…] it wasn't long before the Hoenn league finally came to an end, with Tyson as the winner and new champion. May: “Wow… I can't believe that Tyson managed to win…” Brock: “Well goes to show how strong he is, and that Ash still has a long way to go.” said Brock, as the Hoenn Pokémon league finally comes to a close. Soon, Ash and his friends went on a ferry that sails back to Kanto, and May and Max decided to travel to Johto to compete in the Pokémon contests there. May: “Well… I guess this is it…” Ash: “Yeah, it was fun traveling with ya, and Max too.” Max: “Yeah… I wish we could continue traveling together… but I guess that won't be the case…” Brock: “No… but I'm sure we'll see each other again in the future.” May: “Yeah, until then… I guess this is goodbye.” Ash: “Yeah… see ya May, and you too Max… until we meet again.” said Ash, before he and Brock went to the path that goes to Pallet town, while May and Max take the path that goes to Johto. Soon, Ash and Brock arrived to Pallet town, and Delia was happy to see her son again. Delia: “How was your journey in Hoenn?” Ash: “It was great, I managed to catch some awesome Pokémon and made new friends as well.” Delia: “I'm happy to hear that, by the way, Professor Oak and Gary are at the lab right now, you should go see them.” Ash: “Sure thing.” soon, Ash went to the lab, and sees Gary training some kind of Pokémon called Electrifier, and the Pokédex had no data on it. Gary: “Hey Ash, it's been a while since I last saw ya.” Ash: “Hey Gary, um… my Pokédex does not have any data on your Pokémon here.” Gary: “No surprise your Pokédex so far only has info of Pokémon of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn, but Electrifier here is from the Sinnoh region.” Brock: “Sinnoh… I think that's the region where May's Manaphy is native from.” Ash: “Oh yeah… so Electrifier is from the Sinnoh region?” Gary: “Yeah, and that region is full of new and powerful Pokémon, and it has it's own Pokémon league as well.” Ash: “Really?, hmm… maybe I should give it a try…” that was when Professor Oak came to the scene, and he heard what the boy said. Professor Oak: “Well if you want to do that, you should go see Professor Rowan in Sandgem town, he'll update your Pokédex to have the data of the Pokémon there and get you registered for the Sinnoh league.” Ash: “Alright, then I'll go see him first.” Brock: “I'll bet there be a lot of beautiful ladies there…” said Brock while blushing a little. Professor Oak: “By the way… I still can't believe that you managed to catch the mythical Mew, how did you pulled it off?” Ash: “Well… that's a long story…” Gary: “Wait… Mew?!, first you managed to catch a Latias, and now a Mew?!” Ash: “Um… it's not that big of a deal…” Brock: “Don't be so modest Ash, it's not everyday that a trainer is able to catch both a legendary and a mythical Pokémon.” Professor Oak: “That is very true, and they both seemed to have a very affectionate personalities… which they're about to show again…” before Ash could ask the professor what he meant, Latias and Mirage Mew appeared and pins him down to the ground, and gave him some nuzzles on his cheeks. Latias: [Ash!, play with me!] Mirage Mew: [But I wanted to play with him first!] Pikachu: [Whoa there ladies, go easy on him, you'll have your turn to play with him.] Ash: “Uh… hi you two, good to see ya.” Mirage Mew: [So… you're planning to leave already?] Ash: “Yeah, but don't worry, once you get some training from the other Pokémon here for a while, I'll let you have your chance to battle a powerful opponent in the future, same for Latias too.” Latias: [You promise?] Ash: “Cross my heart.” Pikachu: [And I'm sure Ash will catch some powerful Pokémon in Sinnoh too.] Ash: “You bet I will, and I'm sure we'll face many trainers there too, this is gonna be fun.” Brock: “I'm sure it will be.” after a few days of rest and catching up with the other Pokémon, Ash was finally ready to travel again, with Pikachu and Brock by his side. Soon, the group went to a ferry that will sail to the Sinnoh region. Ash: “Well… here we go, off to another adventure… and to take another step closer to becoming a Pokémon master…” and so Ash has entered the Hoenn league, but lost yet again, but still haven't given up his dream, and now has his eyes set on the Sinnoh region, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.

A legendary battle of Team Aqua vs Team Magma.
It was a nice sunny day with clouds at the seas of Hoenn when Ash and his friends were on a raft, after another one of Team Rocket's failed attempts of stealing Pikachu, and now they were stranded at sea. May: “Oh man… I'm so hungry… and thirsty…” Max: “Well we can't drink sea water… and the only food we have left is for the Pokémon…” suddenly, a submarine came out of the water, and it was heading towards an island. Our heroes tried to call for help, but the people in the submarine didn't hear them, so May sent out her Bulbasaur to use Vine Whip to grab the submarine so the group's raft would follow it. Once they got to the island's shore, they were shocked to see some Team Magma grunts coming out of the submarine, making them realized that they were at a Team Magma hideout. Ash: “Oh man… it's Team Magma…” Brock: “Look… there's someone coming.” said Brock, before the man in question, named Maxwell (voiced by Ted Lewis), who happens to be the boss of Team Magma himself, came to the scene and sees Tabitha and his grunts. Maxwell: “Are they on their way?” Tabitha: “Yes, they should be here soon with Groudon, what about Kyogre?” Maxwell: “It's still sleeping, once we make the trade, we'll finally make our plan to make land dominate the world a reality.” Tabitha: “Yeah… that is if Team Aqua doesn't use Kyogre to make the sea dominate the world first.” Maxwell: “True…” said Maxwell, before Max let a sneeze that gave him and the others away, alerting Team Magma that there were intruders in their base. It wasn't long before Team Magma sends their Pokémon to surround our heroes and taken them to a cell, making sure they don't foil up their plans. Max: “I'm sorry guys… I didn't mean to give us away… stupid nose…” Brock: “It could have happened to anyone.” Ash: “Right now we need to find a way to get out of here…” that was when a Team Magma grunt came to the scene and freed our heroes, much to their surprise, before he revealed himself to be Lance, who was disguised as a grunt once again. Lance: “Funny, isn't this how I first met you?” Ash: “Lance!, boy are we glad to see you.” Max: “Wait… Lance of the Elite 4?!, I can't believe it!” May: “The Elite 4?” Max: “Yeah, the strongest trainers in the world, aside from the league champions of course.” Lance: “Never mind that, you kids need to get out of here, this is dangerous.” Ash: “But we helped you before, and we can do it again.” Lance: “You were lucky last time, but that kind of luck doesn't always stay on your side.” May: “But it's not like we can go anywhere as we're on an island.” Lance: “Hmm… you have a good point there.” meanwhile, Team Magma was at the beach, when another submarine comes out of the water, and Team Aqua grunts, lead by Shelly, and Archie (voiced by Ted Lewis), the boss of Team Aqua, came to the scene. Maxwell: “Well Archie… you have Groudon?” Archie: “That depends… do you have Kyogre?” Maxwell: “We do.” Archie: “Then yes, we have Groudon, now hand over Kyogre.” Maxwell: “Only if you give us Groudon first.” that was when both of the evil team leaders noticed that Ash was close to the large cages that have both Kyogre and Groudon in them. Maxwell: “You again?!” Shelly: “It's that kid back at Dewford island!” Ash: “Pikachu, Thunderbolt!” called out Ash, before Pikachu lets out a powerful Thunderbolt that breaks the locks of the cages, freeing the legendary Pokémon at last. Archie: “That little… perhaps it's a good time to try out the Blue orb…” Maxwell: “The same with the Red orb.” said the two bosses, before the took a hold of a red or blue orb, and somehow they fused into the bodies of the men, and then their eyes began to glow and power flowed through them. Suddenly, both the eyes of Kyogre and Groudon began to glow, showing signs that the two bosses have taken total control of the legendary duo. Ash: “This… can't be good…” Pikachu: [You can say that again…] said Pikachu, before Kyogre and Groudon fired either a Hydro Pump or Flamethrower at the pair, only for Lance's red Gyarados to catch and carry them away from the danger just in the nick of time. Once Ash and Pikachu got off of the red Gyarados, Lance and the others came over to them. May: “Are you alright?!” Ash: “Yeah, but what just happened?” Lance: “There is a legend that men once created a pair of orbs, called the blue and red orb, to allow them to control both Kyogre and Groudon, but they were hidden away so that such power would not fall into the wrong hands… but it looks like they have now…” Max: “Wait a minute… Ash, didn't we find something like those orbs under that dead tree?” asked Max, before Ash pulls out the green orb that Max was talking about, and the sight of it made Lance to gasp. Lance: “That's the green orb!, it has the power to control Rayquaza.” May: “Is that another legendary Pokémon?” Lance: “Yes, it's supposed to be the ruler of the skies of Hoenn, while Kyogre and Groudon ruled the seas and land.” Brock: “And this Green orb can control Rayquaza?” Lance: “Yes…” suddenly, the Green orb got fused into Ash, much to his surprise, and that was he heard a voice that he never heard before, which came from Rayquaza itself. Rayquaza: [Human, can you hear me?] Ash: “Huh?, who's that?” Rayquaza: [I'll take that as a yes, I'm Rayquaza, and I allow the Green orb to bound with you so that you can help me stop Groudon and Kyogre.] Ash: “You need my help?, sure… but where are you?” Rayquaza: [Right above you.] said Rayquaza, which made Ash look up and sees the legendary green serpent like Pokémon itself, hovering above the island. Maxwell: “No way…” Archie: “Rayquaza?!” May: “Wow… it looks so majestic…” Lance: “Yes, legendary Pokémon are quite a sight to behold…” Brock: “Wow… and I thought Ho-oh and Lugia were big…” Max: “Wait… you seen both Ho-oh and Lugia?!” Brock: “Yeah… mostly because the legendary Pokémon have an interest in Ash due to his pure heart.” Max: “Really?… wow…” said Max, before Ash takes a ride on the head of Rayquaza, who was ready to battle the two other legendary Pokémon. Maxwell: “So… that kid got a hold of the Green orb… did he?… well no matter, Groudon and I shall take care of them… and the world will be all land.” Archie: “Ha!, you wish!, it's the seas that will rule this world!” Ash: “You're both wrong!, the world should have both land and sea!, and we're not gonna let you destroy either one!” called out Ash, before he and Rayquaza went to battle the evil Team bosses and the other two legendary Pokémon. The battle was intense, and it was to decide the fate of the Hoenn region. Soon, the battle finally ended with both Groudon and Kyogre defeated, and the Team bosses too, and as a result, the Blue orb and Red orb were out of their bodies. It wasn't long when Ash got back to the ground, and the green orb came out of his body. Rayquaza: [Thank you boy… Hoenn is safe again… thanks to you.] Ash: “Oh it was nothing really… I'm just happy that I was able to help.” Rayquaza: [Well either way… Hoenn is in your debt, now I must go… but first…] said Rayquaza, before he uses some psychic power to make all three orbs to float up and glowed before vanishing without a trace. Ash: “What happened to the orbs?” Rayquaza: [I destroyed them… so us legendaries won't be controlled against our will again… well… farewell.] said Rayquaza, before he, along with Groudon and Kyogre left the scene, leaving Ash and the others alone on the island. May: “Um… did they just left us here?” Lance: “Don't forget I'm here, once I call the authorities to arrest the bosses of both Team Aqua and Team Magma, I can get us a ride back to land.” Max: “Thanks, that will help us a lot.” soon, the police of Hoenn came and arrested both the bosses of Team Aqua and Team Magma, marking the end of both organizations. As soon as they came back to the mainland of Hoenn, Ash and his friends arrived to Mossdeep city, where the seventh gym leader was, only to learn that the gym was run by two gym leaders, who were twin brother and sister, who use psychic types. The battle was tough, and it was a double team battle, mean the gym leaders battle Ash at the same time, while he uses Pikachu and Swellow. But thanks to some teamwork, Ash was able to beat the gym leaders, and earned himself the Mind badge. Ash: “Well… one more badge to go and I can finally compete in the Hoenn league…” Max: “I'm sure you can do it.” Ash: “Wait… you're rooting for me now?” Max: “Yeah… after seeing you battle the bosses of Team Aqua and Team Magma on that island… I can't help but think how awesome you are.” Ash: “Thanks I guess.” May: “I have to agree with Max on this one, you were really something.” Brock: “Looks like you got some fans now.” Ash: “Well… I wasn't aiming to have fans, I'm just trying to become a Pokémon master.” Brock: “And I'm sure you can do it.” and so Ash has defeated the bosses of Team Aqua and Team Magma, and has earned himself his seventh Hoenn gym badge, who knows what's next for our heroes as the journey continues.
A cold catch on Izabe island.
After stopping both Team Aqua & Team Magma, and earning his seventh Hoenn gym badge, Ash went to Izabe island to ask the Nurse Joy there to heal his Pokémon, along with May and Brock's as well. As soon as Pikachu was fully recovered, he noticed a Pokémon, which was called a Snorunt, was trying to take something from Ash's backpack. Pikachu: [Hey!, that's Ash's backpack!] Snorunt: [Uh oh… busted… oh well, catch me if you can!] said Snorunt, before he makes a run for it, with the badge case that has all the badges that Ash earned so far in Hoenn. Pikachu goes after the Snorunt, and it wasn't long before Ash, who saw the theft too, begins to follow, leaving the others behind. Nurse Joy: “Looks like that Snorunt has struck again…” Max: “You mean this has happened before?” Nurse Joy: “Yeah, that Snorunt loves to pull pranks on trainers, like taking the badges, but it always give them back in the end as he loves the chase and all that.” Brock: “That's good to hear, though I'm worried about Ash going after Snorunt alone…” May: “What do you mean?” Brock: “I know Ash long enough that he tends to run into big trouble, and there's a chance that Team Rocket could attack him and Pikachu.” Max: “You're right, we better go after them.” Nurse Joy: “Just don't be out there too long, there's a snowstorm on the way.” Brock: “Got it.” said Brock, before he, along with May and Max, head outside to follow Ash. At a snowy forest, Snorunt was still running off with the badge case, unaware that he was heading for an edge of a cliff. Ash and Pikachu saw this and tried to warn the ice type. Ash: “Hey stop!, you're heading for a cliff!” Snorunt: [Huh?] asked Snorunt, before he looks ahead and sees that he was right in front of the edge of a small cliff. The ice type lost balance and fell, only for Ash to jump and caught the ice type in his arms, and landed in the snow. When Pikachu climbed down to the bottom, he sees that Ash knocked out, while Snorunt was checking on the boy. Pikachu: [Ash!, are you okay?!, speak to me!] Snorunt: [Oh no… he's not… you know…] Pikachu: [He's breathing… that's a good sign… but he's out cold…] Snorunt: [That's not good… as there's a snowstorm coming… if he stays out here like this… he won't last long…] Pikachu: [Maybe you should have thought of that before you lured him here!] Snorunt: [Hold on!, you don't think I tried to kill him do ya?] Pikachu: [Well you took his badges and brought him here!] Snorunt: [I didn't mean any harm, I was just playing with him, honest… I never wanted anyone to get hurt… or die… I'm so sorry…] said Snorunt, as he began to cry as he felt guilty for putting Ash in such condition, while Pikachu felt less angry and placed his paw on the ice type for comfort. Pikachu: [It's okay… I understand… but now we need to find help and fast…” Snorunt: [I'll go get help, you can stay with the human.] Pikachu: [Good idea… but he has a name, it's Ash.] Snorunt: [Okay, um… can I barrow his hat?] Pikachu: [What for?] Snorunt: [To let someone know Ash needs help.] Pikachu: [Good idea, just hurry.] Snorunt: [Got it, I might like pranks… but I can be very serious when it comes to battles and helping those in need.] said Snorunt, before he takes Ash's hat and runs off to find help as fast as he could. It wasn't long before the sky began to be covered in dark clouds, and Brock, May and Max were still searching for Ash, before Snorunt came over to them, showing Ash's hat. May: “That's Ash's hat…” Max: “Does that mean something happened to him?” Brock: “Snorunt, take us to Ash, quick.” said Brock, before Snorunt nodded, and leads the group to where Ash was. By the time he woke up, Ash sees that he was back in the Pokémon center, with Pikachu and Snorunt in front of him. Ash: “Oh… Pikachu… Snorunt… what happened?” Pikachu: [You were knocked out when you saved Snorunt from that fall, and Snorunt used your hat to guide Brock and the others to find you.] Snorunt: [Yeah… I'm really sorry about what happened… I didn't mean to get you hurt… it was an accident… I was just trying to play with you… can you ever forgive me?] Ash: “Sure… I forgive you, I can't stay mad at the Pokémon that saved my life.” Snorunt: [Wait… did you… understood what I just said?] Pikachu: [Oh right, I forgot to tell ya that Ash can talk to Pokémon too.] Snorunt: [Really?, that's amazing!] Ash: “Yeah, but it's suppose to be a secret, as if the wrong people knew about it… they could use me for their own greedy plans, at least that's what my mom and Professor Oak told me.” Snorunt: [Don't worry, your secret's safe with me… and it's not like anyone would believe it anyway.] Ash: “How true…” it wasn't long before Brock, May and Max came over to Ash, to see if he's okay, before May went to hug him. May: “You idiot!, why did you made us worry like that?!” Ash: “Sorry May… I never meant to worry anyone.” Brock: “Well all that matters is that you're okay now, thanks to Snorunt here.” this made Snorunt blush a little as he was being praised for his heroic deed. Once the storm was over, it was time to go, but before they left, Snorunt decided to join Ash's team, and once that happened, Ash went to look into his Pokédex to learn more about his newest catch. Pokédex: [Snorunt is the Snow Hat Pokémon, it's said that any home that gets a visit from it would be blessed with good fortune.] Ash: “I wonder if that's really true…” Max: “Well it did save you from that snow storm, so that was a good fortune.” Ash: “Yeah… I guess it was.” May: “I wonder if we'll get more good fortune too?” Brock: “Only the future will tell I guess.” some time later, the group finally made it to Sootopolis city, home of the eighth Hoenn gym leader, who uses his water types. The battle was tough, but thanks to some team work and determination, Ash was able to beat the gym leader and won himself the Rain badge. It wasn't long before the Team Rocket trio showed up and tried to steal the water Pokémon, but Snorunt was not willing to let them hurt Ash in the process, and that was when his body glowed and evolved into a floating ice ball with eyes, a mouth and horns on his head called Glalie. The newly evolved ice type was able to stop Team Rocket and Pikachu uses a powerful Thunderbolt to send them flying once again, leaving the gym leader to thank Ash for saving the Pokémon. After leaving the city, Ash pulls out his Pokédex to learn more about his ice type's new evolved form. Pokédex: [Glalie is the Face Pokémon and the evolved form of Snorunt, it's icy covered body doesn't melt even under a direct flame and can freeze even vapors of air instantly.] Ash: “Yeah… I witness it myself from that battle against Team Rocket…” May: “Hey Ash, with the Rain badge, you got 8 badges now, right?” Ash: “Sure do, meaning I'm finally able to compete in the Hoenn league…” Max: “Hey May… what do you think could be in that Pokémon egg that the gym leader gave you?” asked Max, looking at the Pokémon egg that the gym leader gave to May as a token of gratitude for helping Ash save the water Pokémon of the gym from Team Rocket. May: “I don't know, but I was told it's a Pokémon native from another region called Sinnoh… I'll bet it's a real cutie.” and so Ash caught a Snorunt, which has evolved into a Glalie, and has earned his eighth and last Hoenn gym badge, while May got herself a mysterious Pokémon egg. Who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Mirage Mew and the little Manaphy.
After Ash caught Snorunt, which evolved into Glalie, and earned his last Hoenn gym badge, May finally gets her moment to shine after she earned enough ribbons to enter a special Pokémon contest that the winner gets to be top coordinator. Unfortunately, another coordinator, a boy that goes by the name of Drew, beats May, much to her dismay and disappointment, but thanks to the comfort of her friends, she was able to feel better and determined to do better next time. May: “Well… so much for being Top Coordinator…” Ash: “Don't worry May, there's always next time, and to be honest, I didn't win my first league either…” Max: “Or the Johto league either.” Ash: “Well no… but I kept moving forward, and that got me this far, so don't give up on your dream.” May: “You're right Ash, and perhaps whatever is inside this mystery egg can be a big help too.” said May, as she was referring to the egg that she got from the Sootopolis gym leader. Brock: “Hey… look over there.” said Brock, pointing at a mansion that seems to be full of Pokémon that looked like they were almost see through. May: “Hey… why do they look almost see through?” Max: “I don't know…” Ash: “Let's go check it out.” said Ash, before he and the others went to the gates of the mansion, and were surprised to see what looked like some sort of machine that fires a beam on the ground, and what looked like an almost see through hologram of a Swellow was appeared. Standing before the holographic Swellow was Cassidy and Butch, who didn't seemed all that impressed. Cassidy: “Why couldn't we create more powerful Mirage Pokémon by now?” Butch: “Cause we don't have any data on those, well other than Mew of course as it was the data we used to create Mewtwo.” Cassidy: “Yeah, but the Mew we did made won't listen to a thing we say, it only wants to play, what we need to recreate Mewtwo through the Mirage system.” Butch: “But all the data of Mewtwo was destroyed thanks to the original when it escaped from us back at Viridian city, remember?” Cassidy: “Don't remind me.” unaware to the Team Rocket pair, Ash and the others heard everything.” May: “Hey… those are the Team Rocket goons we ran into back at the Forbidden forest…” Brock: “Cassidy and Butch…” Max: “So they're bad news?” Ash: “Yeah, and they're trying to recreate Mewtwo with that machine that makes some sort of holograms of Pokémon…” Max: “But what good would a hologram do against a real Pokémon?” that was when Pikachu noticed what looked like a Pokémon behind him and Ash, causing him to turn around and see what looked like an almost see through pink cat that was floating in midair called Mew. Pikachu: [Ash… we got company…] said Pikachu, causing Ash to turn around and sees Mew in front of him. Mirage Mew: [Hi there, wanna play with me?] Ash: “Uh… I would like to… but now's a bad time… Team Rocket's up to no good…” Mirage Mew: [Yeah… they're really mean ones… not only would they not play with me… but they treat me like dirt and send the other Mirage Pokémon to beat me up just for not listening…] Ash: “What?!, why would they do that?” Mirage Mew: [Wait… did you just… understood what I just said?, the people in yellow or green hair never did that…” Ash: “Yeah… I'm a special case… my name's Ash by the way… what's yours?” Mirage Mew: [Me?, well from what the mean people said… I'm supposed be called Mirage Mew.] Ash: “I can see why, you're like a mirage… but cooler.” Mirage Mew: [You really think so?] Ash: “Yeah, I sure do.” suddenly, the egg that was inside May's bag started to glow, and May pulled out to check on it. That was when the egg started to hatched out, and the baby Pokémon was reveled to be what's supposed to be called Manaphy. When it saw May, it started to cry, and May was doing her best to try calming it down. Unfortunately, the cries of Manaphy caught the attention of the Team Rocket duo, and ran and saw the kids. Cassidy: “Not you twerps again!” Butch: “You losers should know better than to nose into grown up matters.” Ash: “You don't have the right to call us losers after we beaten you many times before, Biff!” Butch: “My name's not Biff!, it's Butch and you know it!” May: “Stop yelling, you're upsetting the poor thing.” said May, referring to Manaphy. Cassidy: “Bob… is that what I think it is…” Butch: “I told you before, my name's Butch!, not Biff!, but yeah… the Pokémon in the girl's arms… that's a Manaphy, a mythical Pokémon native to the Sinnoh region.” Cassidy: “Looks like this could be our lucky day.” May: “You're not laying a finger on my baby!” Butch: “That's cute, this girl thinks she's a mom now.” Cassidy: “Too bad her chance of parenthood is about to end before it could even get started.” Ash: “You're not getting May or Manaphy!, not on my watch!” Brock: “Or mine!” Max: “Or mine either!” shouted the group, while Mirage Mew was astounded by the bravery of the kids. Cassidy: “You might have gotten the upper hand in the past… but not this time, as we have backup.” said Cassidy, before she pressed a button on a remote the summons a lot of different kinds of Mirage Pokémon. Max: “You think you can scare us with holograms?” Butch: “Funny when you mention it, you see these holograms are not only immune to getting hit from the real thing, but they can use attacks just like a real Pokémon too, which is why we're using the Mirage device to create an army of these Mirage Pokémon.” said Butch, before he orders the Mirage Pokémon to attack, only for Mirage Mew to get in the way and use Protect. Mirage Mew: [They're right… us Mirage Pokémon can't get hurt by real Pokémon and we can use the attacks as well… though I wished that weren't true… I don't want to hurt anyone… please Ash, run as fast as you can!, I'll hold them off as long as I can!] Ash: “We're not leaving you!” Mirage Mew: [You have to!, we Mirage Pokémon have a limited area to be projected, I can't be beyond the mansion’s gates, of course neither can the other mirage Pokémon, just go!] called out Mirage Mew, before Butch orders a Mirage Fearow, which is the evolved form of Spearow, to start pecking her, which made Ash really mad. Ash: “Stop it!, you're hurting her!” Butch: “Why would you care, it's not even a real Pokémon.” Ash: “It doesn't matter!, she can still feel the pain, meaning she's more than a hologram!, so stop hurting her!” Cassidy: “Why do you call it a her, it's not even real.” Ash: “She is to me!, so stop it!” Mirage Mew was surprised to hear that, she never heard such kinds words about her from anyone before. Cassidy: “If you want us to stop hurting it, then surrender to us.” Ash was having a hard deciding what to do, either surrender and risk getting Manaphy taken away or risk of Mirage Mew getting badly hurt by the duo. That was when the tips of the antennas of Manaphy started to glow and some beams hit the Team Rocket duo, causing them to glow a little. Once the glow was over, the voices of the duo got switched somehow. Butch: “What was that?” asked Butch, who was now Cassidy, while Cassidy was now Butch. Cassidy: “What the?!, Butch?!, what are doing looking like me?!” Butch: “The name's Butch!, not… oh wait… that's what you said… wait… why do you look like me?!” Cassidy: “Oh no!, we swapped bodies!” Butch: “But how?!” Cassidy: “This must be the ability 'Swap Heart' of Manaphy we heard about!” Max: “Whoa… Manaphy swap the bodies of Team Rocket?!” May: “Wow… I had no idea Manaphy can do that…” Brock: “Well there's probably a lot of things we don't know about Manaphy yet… but we'll figure them out later when we get out of here…” Ash: “But what about Mirage Mew?, we can't leave her.” Pikachu: [Ash… she might have emotions, but you heard her, she can't go beyond the mansion.] Ash: “But…” Mirage Mew: [Don't worry about me, you're the ones who need to go… I'm just happy that… there is someone who sees me as something more than just a failed hologram… thank you…] said Mirage Mew, before a tear started to come out of her eye, and that was when something under Ash's glove started to glow. Ash removes his glove and sees that the Rainbow feather of Ho-oh was glowing, and then he remembered about the legend of Ho-oh's feather giving new life to her legendary guardians, which gave him a crazy idea. Ash: “I wonder… Mirage Mew, come over here, hurry!” said Ash, before Mirage Mew did what he told her, and the boy pressed the feather on the Mirage Pokémon, which started to make her glow brightly, before a big flash of light that nearly blinds everyone for a short moment. Once the light faded, Mirage Mew opened her eyes and noticed that her body was no longer almost see through like before. Mirage Mew: [What happened?, what did you do?] Ash: “I gave you a chance of life.” said Ash, before the Team Rocket duo got back on their feet, and were back to their own bodies. Cassidy: “I don't know what the twerp just did, but he won't foil up our plans again,, Bobby!, set the Mirage machine to self destruct!” Butch: “The name's Butch!, and are you sure?” Cassidy: “Yes, it seems he cares about the Mirage Mew, and even if we lose the Mirage Pokémon, we'll make him suffer of losing the Mew with them at least.” Butch: “You got it.” said Butch, before pressing a button on a remote, and the mirage device exploded, causing all of the Mirage Pokémon to vanish, all of them that is… except for the Mirage Mew, much to the duo surprise. Mirage Mew: [Huh?… why am I still here?] Ash: “Cause what I just did with the feather… I made you become a real Pokémon.” said Ash, making Mirage Mew gasped in shock, before letting out a squeal in joy as she started to move around beyond the mansion and giggling in joy. Mirage Mew: [I'm real!, I'm really real!, it's a miracle!, thank you so much!] Cassidy: “No way… how could…” Butch: “This is impossible!” Ash: “Now that Mirage Mew is safe… Pikachu, you know what to do.” Pikachu: [You got it.] said Pikachu, before he lets out a powerful Thunderbolt that shocked the Team Rocket duo, which sends them flying out of the scene. Once the Team Rocket duo were gone, May pulls out her Pokédex to learn more about the baby Manaphy in her arms. Pokédex: [Manaphy is supposed to be known as the Pokémon prince of the sea, and has an ability called Heart Swap, which can make two individuals switch bodies.] it wasn't long before Ash pulls out his own Pokédex to check out Mirage Mew, who was playing with Pikachu at the moment. Pokédex: [Mew is known as the New Species Pokémon, it can not only change into other Pokémon like a Ditto, but can learn every move there is.] Ash: “Wow… Mew is even cooler than I thought…” said Ash, which Mirage Mew heard him say, causing her to be even more happy and went to give the boy a big hug. Mirage Mew: [Ash… thank you… for being so kind to me… um… can I ask you something…?] Ash: “Sure… what is it?” Mirage Mew: [Um… can I… be your Pokémon?] Ash: “You mean… you want me to catch you?” Mirage Mew: [Yes… you're my first and best friend, and you saved me from getting deleted by Team Rocket with that feather… it would be fair if I help you on your journey… if you're okay with it…] Ash: “Of course, it would be a real honor to have you on my team.” said Ash, before he pulls out a Pokéball and catches Mirage Mew in it. Max: “No way… Ash just caught a Mew…” Brock: “Well he did saved her from Team Rocket, so I guess it would make sense.” May: “And I guess I got myself a Manaphy… and a really cute one too.” said May, as she continues to watch over the baby Manaphy, who is now sleeping. Ash: “Yeah… looks like we all had a big day… makes me wonder what the Hoenn league is gonna be like…” and so Ash has saved Mirage Mew and caught her, while May gets herself a baby Manaphy, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
The Hoenn Pokémon league.
After the incident with the mirage Pokémon, Ash and his friends arrived to the Hoenn league stadium, which seems to have some trouble at the moment, as President Goodshow was looking worried. Ash: “Hi President Goodshow, what's wrong?” Goodshow: “Oh Ash, good to see you again, I take it that you came to compete in the Hoenn league?” Ash: “That's right.” May: “Um… you know this man?” Brock: “This is Charles Goodshow, president of the Pokémon league, we met him before in the Kanto and Johto league.” Goodshow: “Yes, but I fear that the Hoenn may not be able to come on… as someone stole the flame of Moltres, and right under my nose this time.” Max: “Moltres, I heard of that one, it's a legendary Pokémon native to the Kanto region, and it's flames were used to start the leagues of the world, except for Johto of course as that one used the flame of Ho-oh.” Goodshow: “That is correct my boy, but it seems that someone, disguised as an Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy stole it.” Brock: “Someone had the nerve to pretend to be Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny to steal the torch?!, who would do such a thing?!” that was when Pikachu noticed a very familiar hot air balloon floating nearby. Pikachu: [Ash… I think I have a pretty good idea who did it…] Ash: “You do?, who?” Pikachu: [Look behind ya.] said Pikachu, before Ash turned around, and he and everyone sees the balloon. Ash: “Ugh… should have known…” Brock: “Why am I not surprised…?” Max: “Don't those guys have anything better to do?” Goodshow: “This has to the third time they tried to steal the torch…” May: “This isn't the first time?” asked May, before the Team Rocket trio noticed that they were spotted. Jessie: “Oh nuts, we've been spotted!” James: “I told ya we should have taken the right turn.” Meowth: “Never mind that, here they come!” Ash: “Swellow!, I choose you!, pop Team Rocket's balloon and get the torch back!” called out Ash, as he sends out Swellow, who pops the balloon with his beak, causing the Team Rocket trio to be blasting off again, while the torch was falling and Pikachu managed to catch it just in the nick of time. Pikachu: [Got it!] Ash: “Nice catch.” Pikachu: [Thanks.] Goodshow: “Well my boy, this is the third time you saved the torch from the hands of Team Rocket, I'm beginning to think whenever there is trouble, you arrive to fix it.” Ash: “Well I don't know about that, I just seem to be there at the right time.” Goodshow: “Well either way, we owe you a great gratitude, say… how would you like to run the torch again?” Ash: “Really?” Goodshow: “Sure, I'm sure many fans will love to see the boy who saved the torch from evil hands again.” Ash: “Well… sure thing, I always found it fun to do.” so with that, Ash runs with the torch and takes to the stadium, where can be seen by everyone, allowing the Hoenn Pokémon league to begin. Ash was able to face some tough trainers, like one with a Metang in the top 16 for example, but he was able to pull through, and Grovyle was able to evolve into Sceptile, and Ash pulls out his Pokédex to find out more. Pokédex: [Sceptile is the fully evolved form of Treecko, and it moves lightly through tree branches in order to attack it's opponents.] once Ash got to top 8, he was facing a trainer named Tyson, who was the toughest trainer Ash faced in the Hoenn league yet. Soon both sides were down to their last Pokémon, which was Ash's Pikachu and Tyson's Meowth, which was without a doubt a whole lot tougher than Team Rocket's Meowth for sure. Eventually, the battle came to an end, with Tyson's Meowth as the victor, while Pikachu was defeated, meaning Ash has lost another league. Sometime later, Pikachu was looking down when Ash looked at him. Ash: “Hey buddy, it wasn't your fault, Tyson was just really tough, along with his Meowth, that's all.” Pikachu: [Yeah… but still… I should have kept going…] Ash: “Don't worry, there's always next time.” Pikachu: [Yeah… I guess…] it wasn't long before the Hoenn league finally came to an end, with Tyson as the winner and new champion. May: “Wow… I can't believe that Tyson managed to win…” Brock: “Well goes to show how strong he is, and that Ash still has a long way to go.” said Brock, as the Hoenn Pokémon league finally comes to a close. Soon, Ash and his friends went on a ferry that sails back to Kanto, and May and Max decided to travel to Johto to compete in the Pokémon contests there. May: “Well… I guess this is it…” Ash: “Yeah, it was fun traveling with ya, and Max too.” Max: “Yeah… I wish we could continue traveling together… but I guess that won't be the case…” Brock: “No… but I'm sure we'll see each other again in the future.” May: “Yeah, until then… I guess this is goodbye.” Ash: “Yeah… see ya May, and you too Max… until we meet again.” said Ash, before he and Brock went to the path that goes to Pallet town, while May and Max take the path that goes to Johto. Soon, Ash and Brock arrived to Pallet town, and Delia was happy to see her son again. Delia: “How was your journey in Hoenn?” Ash: “It was great, I managed to catch some awesome Pokémon and made new friends as well.” Delia: “I'm happy to hear that, by the way, Professor Oak and Gary are at the lab right now, you should go see them.” Ash: “Sure thing.” soon, Ash went to the lab, and sees Gary training some kind of Pokémon called Electrifier, and the Pokédex had no data on it. Gary: “Hey Ash, it's been a while since I last saw ya.” Ash: “Hey Gary, um… my Pokédex does not have any data on your Pokémon here.” Gary: “No surprise your Pokédex so far only has info of Pokémon of Kanto, Johto and Hoenn, but Electrifier here is from the Sinnoh region.” Brock: “Sinnoh… I think that's the region where May's Manaphy is native from.” Ash: “Oh yeah… so Electrifier is from the Sinnoh region?” Gary: “Yeah, and that region is full of new and powerful Pokémon, and it has it's own Pokémon league as well.” Ash: “Really?, hmm… maybe I should give it a try…” that was when Professor Oak came to the scene, and he heard what the boy said. Professor Oak: “Well if you want to do that, you should go see Professor Rowan in Sandgem town, he'll update your Pokédex to have the data of the Pokémon there and get you registered for the Sinnoh league.” Ash: “Alright, then I'll go see him first.” Brock: “I'll bet there be a lot of beautiful ladies there…” said Brock while blushing a little. Professor Oak: “By the way… I still can't believe that you managed to catch the mythical Mew, how did you pulled it off?” Ash: “Well… that's a long story…” Gary: “Wait… Mew?!, first you managed to catch a Latias, and now a Mew?!” Ash: “Um… it's not that big of a deal…” Brock: “Don't be so modest Ash, it's not everyday that a trainer is able to catch both a legendary and a mythical Pokémon.” Professor Oak: “That is very true, and they both seemed to have a very affectionate personalities… which they're about to show again…” before Ash could ask the professor what he meant, Latias and Mirage Mew appeared and pins him down to the ground, and gave him some nuzzles on his cheeks. Latias: [Ash!, play with me!] Mirage Mew: [But I wanted to play with him first!] Pikachu: [Whoa there ladies, go easy on him, you'll have your turn to play with him.] Ash: “Uh… hi you two, good to see ya.” Mirage Mew: [So… you're planning to leave already?] Ash: “Yeah, but don't worry, once you get some training from the other Pokémon here for a while, I'll let you have your chance to battle a powerful opponent in the future, same for Latias too.” Latias: [You promise?] Ash: “Cross my heart.” Pikachu: [And I'm sure Ash will catch some powerful Pokémon in Sinnoh too.] Ash: “You bet I will, and I'm sure we'll face many trainers there too, this is gonna be fun.” Brock: “I'm sure it will be.” after a few days of rest and catching up with the other Pokémon, Ash was finally ready to travel again, with Pikachu and Brock by his side. Soon, the group went to a ferry that will sail to the Sinnoh region. Ash: “Well… here we go, off to another adventure… and to take another step closer to becoming a Pokémon master…” and so Ash has entered the Hoenn league, but lost yet again, but still haven't given up his dream, and now has his eyes set on the Sinnoh region, who knows what could be next for our heroes as the journey continues.
