One Enchantica Evening
By Mari (a.k.a. Amora Enchantica [am_23_2000])

	It was in the middle in the afternoon, Ash, Brock, Misty, and
Pikachu were walking aimlessly in some unknown forest and Ash and
Misty were having their usual 'discussion' "I can't believe we are
lost again!" Misty complained. "Aw come on Misty, don't think of it as
getting lost, think of it as exploring!" Replied Ash with some
enthusiasm. "Only Ash can be able to see the bright side of some
things." Said Brock with a small chuckle. "Pikachu."(Yeah.) Added
Pikachu.

	"Well I am getting exhausted from all this 'exploring'!" Misty
huffed. But before Ash could say something, Pikachu's ears perked up
by some nearby rustling. Pika?"(What is that noise?) Asked Pikachu.
Everyone stopped walking to see what Pikachu was doing. "What is it
Pikachu?" Asked Ash. Pikachu looked up at Ash and pointed west to
where it heard the noise. "Pikachu pi!" (I thought I've heard
something!) Pikachu acknowledged. "Pika pi pi cha!"(Follow me!)
Pikachu darted off to the direction of the sound and Ash, Misty, and
Brock followed it. All four of them stopped and came upon a small bush
that seems to be moving.

	"Pika pi chu pika!"(I found it!) Pikachu called while pointing
to the bushes. "Good job Pikachu!" Complimented Ash. "What could be in
the bush?" Asked Misty. "Maybe it's a wild pokemon." Ash answered with
some hope. "Or it could be Team Rocket trying to ambushed us again."
Retorted Misty. "Whatever it is, everybody have better be ready for
it." Acknowledge Brock. "Pikachu!"(Right!) Added Pikachu. All four of
them stayed on their spot and the three trainers have their pokeballs
already to be use. Pikachu was already in its fighting stance. Seconds
went by as the bush continues to rustle.

	Tiny beads of sweat started to form on their foreheads. Just as
Ash was about to raise his pokeball, something actually did jumped out
of the bush. But it was neither a wild pokemon nor Team Rocket;
instead it was a screaming and terrified "Gary!" They all shouted. He
was covered with scratches and bruises and he's got a scar on his
right cheek and a black eye. Ash and his friends were stunned with
shock whey they saw him. "All right Gary!" "Just what is the idea for
scaring us like that!" Ash demanded. But Gary didn't even recognize
him.

	All he ever did was running around like a scared headless
chicken and shouted nonsense like "Beware!" "Beware!" "Mad Trainer in
the Forest!" "Weirdo Pokemon!" "Fights Like A Demon!" "She's Crazy!"
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu were baffled by Gary's behavior.
"What's wrong with him?" Asked Misty. "I don't know." Answered Ash.
"I've never seen him act like this before." "Pikachu." (Weird.) Added
Pikachu. Just when Brock was about to say something, all six of Gary's
cheering squad jumped out of the same bush that he was in.

	"There he is!" Called out the first one. "Everyone grab him!"
Shouted the second one. They all kept chasing him around till one of
them managed to calm him down with a mallet. The three pokemon
trainers and Pikachu were astonished after witnessing that moment and
to see a motionless Gary lying on the ground. Ash was the first one to
go to the girls. "Will anyone please tell me what is going on?" He
asked the girls.

	"We were in a small town for a break till Gary heard about a
mysterious trainer who live not far from here." Answered one of the
girls. "So Gary decided to have a battle with this trainer." Added the
other one. "Let me guess, knowing Gary, he thought that he can beat
this trainer just like he did with others." Ash implied. "You got that
right." Replied the next girl. "But unfortunately, the trainer had
other ideas." Added the last one. "So we guess you all think what
happen next." They al said together. "Gary said the trainer is a she."
Said Brock. "That's right and she lives just half a mile from here."
Said the first girl as she pointing to the direction that they have
come from.

	"But I hope that none of you are thinking about challenging
her." Added the second girl. "This trainer does not follow normal
pokemon regulation and she use pokemon that no one has ever seen
before." Warned the third girl. "Yeah if I were you, I stay away from
her as far as possible." Said the fourth one. "All right everyone
enough chit-chat!" called out the fifth one as she clapped her hands
to get the attention. "We have to take Gary back to town so he can
recover." "Right!" The rest of them responded together in unison.

	They all grabbed the unconsciousness' Gary and lifted him over
their heads. Ash and his friends stood there as they watched the girls
carried Gary till they were completely gone. "This is unbelievable!"
Said Misty. "Yeah," Added Brock, "Who would've ever thought that Gary
would be defeated by some unknown trainer!" "Pika pika pikachu."(Not
him that's for sure.) Said Pikachu. "What do you think Ash?" Asked
Misty but there was no answer. Then she spotted him heading towards
the direction that Gary and the cheerleaders came out of.

	"Hey Ash!" Brock called out. "Where are headed off to?" Ash was
quiet for a bit, then he finally answers. "I'm going to find this
mysterious trainer." "What?!?!" "Pika?!?!" Yelled Misty, Brock, and
Pikachu. "Ash you're not thinking what I hope you are not thinking!"
Said Misty with a mixture of anger and fear in her voice. "But I got
to Misty." Said Ash "You guys know that I could've never resist a
challenge." "But Ash if Gary couldn't defeat this trainer, what makes
you think you have a chance." Responded Misty.

	"She's right Ash." Added Brock. "We all saw what kind of shape
Gary's in." "You could've ended up worst off then he is." "Pika Pika
Pi!"(Please don't do this Ash) Pleaded Pikachu. "Sorry guys but that's
the chance that I have to take." Rebutled Ash. "If I pass this up I
may never be able to live with myself." "But if you go through with
this, you may never live at all." Debated Misty. But it was no use.
Ash has made up his mind and went off into the woods. Brock, Misty,
and Pikachu later followed with worried looks on their faces.

	When they were all went out of sight, there was rustling in the
trees and three figures jumped out. This time it was Team Rocket and
they were following the four friends and heard everything. "Did you
guys get all that?" Asked Meowth. "You bet your charm we have."
Answered Jessie. "Ooh this is exciting?" Quipped James. "A mysterious
pokemon trainer with mysterious pokemon." "But what kind of pokemon
that were strong enough to manage to defeat that snobbish Gary guy?
Jessie asked.

	"Maybe they were ultra strong fighting pokemon." James answered.
"Or maybe some powerful psychic pokemon." Added Jessie. "If you two
dim wits quit yapping and follow those brats, we'll never know!"
Scolded Meowth as he scratched both Jessie and James's faces. Both
Jessie and James got mad and pounded him into the ground. "How Dare
You Did That To My Face!" "Don't You Know Better Then To Mess With
Perfection!" Said Jessie and James in unison. "Alright let get a move
on." Said Jessie. "If these mysterious pokemon are more rarer then we
believe, maybe we try to capture them and present them to the boss!"

	"Maybe he'll give us a promotion and bonuses!" Said James with
enthusiasm. "And I'll be his Top Cat again!" Added Meowth who some how
made a miraculous recovery. "Enough stalling and were off!" Ordered
Jessie. "Right!" Said James and Meowth together and all three of them
took off. It is now nighttime and Ash and his friends have already set
up camp. Brock is cooking a delicious vegetarian camp dinner on the
campfire while Ash and Misty were having another 'discussion' and
Pikachu and Togepi were simply playing peek-a-boo.

	"But Ash are you sure want to do this?" Asked Misty. "I have no
other choice Misty." Answered Ash. "I just got to know if this trainer
is as tough as Gary and his pep squad said she is." "Well I'm not sure
if this so-called mysterious trainer might actually exist." Said
Misty. "For all we know, Gary could've made the whole thing up just to
throw you off." "Come on Misty," Said Ash. "Gary maybe be a jerk and a
braggot but even I don't think he'll do something that low." "Besides
it's against the trainers code." Added Brock as he is serving dinner.

	"How do you know Brock?" Asked Misty as she is just now started
to eat. "It just so happens that I always carry this." Said Brock as
he whipped out a small book. "The Guide of Pokemon Trainer Rules and
Regulations!" He flips through the pages to the one he was looking
for. "See it said so right there." Brock gives the book to Misty and
Ash to the page he was pointing. "It is against the trainers code of
morality for a true trainer to deceived another trainer." Ash read a
loud. "Punishment for this crime is thirty days in a nearby jail and
revocation of the trainer's license." Misty read the rest.

	"Pika!"(Ouch!) Said Pikachu. "What does revocation means?" Asked
Ash while eating. "It means to have the license to be taken." Answered
Brock. "So if Gary did made this story up he could loose his license."
Said Misty. "Well if he did he sure went a lot of trouble and taking a
big risk for it." Added Brock. "But you two didn't think that Gary
gave himself those injuries did you?" Ash asked with some concern.
"He probably got his girls to do that." Acknowledge Misty with a
smirk. "Yeah right!" Rebutted Ash.

	"Like he actually told his fan club to beat him up so that he
can lead me into some wild goose chase." "Pika pika pi pika?"(Gary
would lie just to get you chase a wild goose?) Asked Pikachu with a
confused look. "It's just a figure of speech Pikachu." Ash reassured
with a smile while petting Pikachu's head. "Pika pi." (Oh okay.) Said
Pikachu. "But still if Gary was telling the truth why are you taking
such a big risk to see this mysterious when even he couldn't even
defeat her?" Said Misty.

	"Because even if might not defeat this trainer maybe she can
teach me about how to be a better trainer." Replied Ash. "Well if
that's the case you need all the help you can get." Misty joked,
making Ash to get a sour look on his face. Just as Ash was about to
make a come back, an unknown singing appeared out of nowhere. "Hey
where is that singing coming from?" he asked with such curiosity.
"I'm not sure but it sure is beautiful." Answered Brock. The singing
was very light and very feminine. "It seems to be coming from over
there." Misty acknowledged while pointing to a small flickering light
up north from their campsite.

	"Well let's go see who or what is doing the singing." Said Ash.
"Pikachu." He called for Pikachu. "Go se what's that light is all
about and we'll follow." "Pikachu!"(Gotcha Ash!) Said Pikachu with a
small salute and took off for the light. Ash followed right away.
"Hold on Ash!" Brock called as he grabbed for his backpack. "Wait for
us." Added Misty while getting her bag and Togepi. When all five of
them where out of site, Team Rocket jumped out from a nearby tree and
see where they where going.

	"Come on we have to get going if we are able to try to catch up
with those twerps!" Jessie ordered but she gets no response. Then she
sees James and Meowth stuffing their faces with the leftover camp
dinner. Jessie gets fuming mad and screams at them. "WILL YOU TWO QUIT
WOLFING DOWN BEFORE WE LOSE THEM !!!"She roared. "We-we-we're just
having a little snack." Said James weakly. "Yea-yea-yeah all this
walkin' can build up an appetite." Added Meowth, both of them were
shaken in fear. Jessie was so mad that she whacked both James and
Meowth with a mallet. The two of them went uncsciouness with big lumps
on their heads.

	Jessie had no choice but to brag her knocked-out partners.
Meanwhile our heroes were getting closer to the location of the
singing. "Are we almost there?" Misty asked carrying Togepi. "I think
so." Answered Brock. "The singing seems to be louder the closer we
get." Added Ash. "Pikachu!"(There it is!) Pikachu called out and took
off.  "Looks like Pikachu found the source." Said Ash and all three of
them started to catch up. They all came to a clearing and what they
see is a small simple log cabin, a cauldron over a fire, and a
mysterious figure all dressed in a long flowing black-hooded gown,
standing over the cauldron.

	Everyone was amazed to see anyone living in the middle of the
woods. And they all assumed to believe that the singing seems to be
coming from the mysterious being. "This is incredible." Said Brock in
a low whisper so the hooded person won't spot them. "I don't think
I've ever seen anything like this before." "Me neither." Replied Misty
holding Togepi very close to her. "But how can anyone want to live in
the middle of nowhere?" "Maybe real estate rates are a lot cheaper
around here." Ash responded. "Pikachu." (Maybe.) Added Pikachu.

	"But what is that person making over there?" Asked Misty as she
was pointing to the cauldron. "It looks like someone is try do some
laundry." Replied Ash. "But I don't see any dirty clothes." Said
Brock. "Maybe they're still in that house." Said Ash, pointing towards
house. "And that person was probably just getting started. "That
sounds like a reasonable explanation." Said Misty. "Pikachu."(I don't
know.) Replied Pikachu. Unaware to our heroes, just right across from
them, Team Rocket arrived to the scene.

	Hiding in the trees are Jessie, James, and Meowth (who both of
them seemed to make a miraculous recovery from Jessie's mallet.) "I
wonder what is the idea with that big pot?" Jessie asked in a low
whisper. "Maybe someone is making some stew." Said James with big eyes
and some drool in the left corner of his mouth. "Can't you just think
anything else beside your stomach!" Hissed Jessie as she whack him in
the back of his head. "But I'm still hungry!" Whined James, rubbing
his head where Jessie hit him.

	"Will you two dimbulbs keep it down before we get caught by both
of those brats and that cloaked weirdo!" Meowth hissed as he tried to
cover both their mouths. Then Jessie and James shoved his head down
making him to uncover their mouths. "Then I suggest you do the same."
Said Jessie while keeping his head down. Finally the mysterious figure
had finished singing and bowed to the cauldron. "Now it's time for the
process." Said the figure in a feminine dulcet voice and then picked
up a handful of dirt. "Some earth to give it strength and nurturing."
Tosses the dirt into the cauldron. "Huh, what kind of stew is that
weirdo making?" Jessie asked with a perplex look on her face.

	"Maybe it requires only natural ingredients." James answered as
best as he could. "I've heard of organic food but this is ridiculous."
Said Meowth with a sour look on his face. "That is sure a weird way of
doing laundry." Misty acknowledged. "Maybe it some sort of pre-washing
treatment." Replied Ash. The strange being gets a medium stick and
pokes it in the fire and brings it out as it started to flare up a
bit. "Fire for courage and fighting spirit." Drops the fiery stick
into the cauldron.

	Next the figure brings out a small bucket of water. "Water to
give it purity and tranquility." Carefully pours the water into the
cauldron so it wouldn't put out the fire. A small breeze comes over
the being and went into the cauldron. "Wind so it will have speed and
grace." The breeze suddenly died down. Next up, the cloaked one gets
out a small piece of copper out of her pocket. "Metal for
concentration and focus." She said and dropped it into the cauldron.
Then our mysterious friend gets out a small needle and pricks a
finger.

	"A small droplet of my blood will give it a heart and soul." The
drop of blood falls into the cauldron causing it to boil. All of a
sudden a small black cloud appears out of nowhere. "Where did that
cloud come from?" Asked Misty. "I don't know." Answered Brock. "I've
never seen one that comes over by itself like that before." "And we
never see a cloud that up-close." Added Ash. "Pika."(This is getting
weird.) Replied Pikachu. "And finally a bolt of lightning to give it
life!" Shouted the figure. Then a lightning bolt from the cloud struck
down into the cauldron.

	Soon a tornado sprouted out of the cauldron blowing just about
everything. "Is this how the way to make a meal, then I just lost my
appetite!" Yelled James while desperately trying to hang on to the
branch. "And I'm about to loose my lunch!" Bellowed Meowth clenching
on to James. "Enough talking and hang on!" Shouted Jessie. "If this is
way to wash laundry, I hate to see what this person does for drying!"
Shouted Misty while trying to hang on to the bush. "Let's just hope we
will able to survive the rinse cycle!" Yelled Ash who is also hanging
on.

	"I don't think this person is actually doing any laundry!"
Shouted Brock. "Pika, Pika Pika, Pi!"(This is to scary I wanna get
off!) Screamed Pikachu while hanging on to Ash. "Pree Togi Togi!" (I'm
Scared!) Cried Togepi while hanging on to Misty. Finally the tornado
died down and everyone was relieved that is over. "That was a mind
blowing experience." Said James still a bit groggy. "I'll say." Added
Meowth. "That tornado took my breath away." "It certainly gives a new
twist in life." Replied Jessie.

	"Now that was a wild ride." Said Misty now recovering from the
tornado. Togepi went into hiding in her backpack. "Totally." Added
Ash. "Reminds me of that roller coaster ride in that Giant Pokemon
Island." "Togi togi togi!" (That was fun I wanna do it again!) Replied
Togepi excitedly. "Pikachu."(I think I'm going to be sick.) Said
Pikachu, a bit nauseated. "Everyone stay quiet." Said Brock with a
whisper. "I don't think it is quite over yet." Everybody directly paid
attention to the mysterious figure and the cauldron and quietly waited
to see what will happen next.

	Suddenly a small unusual creature climbed out of the cauldron.
It looked like a furry gray furby with bat wings and has brown eyes
and bushy brown eyebrows. A small yellow beak and a small diamond like
gold gem on its forehead. Everyone gasped at the sight of this amazing
phenomenon, for no one has ever seen like this before. "This is
absolutely incredible!" Said Brock in his bewilderment. "We must had
witnessed some sort of creative ritual." "But what on Earth is that
thing that came out of that cauldron?" Misty asked as she pointed to
the creature.

	"Must be a new type of pokemon." Answered Ash as he gets out
Dexter and points it to the creature. "Unknown." Dexter confirmed.
"This pokemon does not even exist at all." "Huh!" said Ash in a
confused manner. "A non-existing pokemon!" "But how is that possible?"
Misty asked in the same way. "Pikachu." (That is a mystery.) Replied
Pikachu. "Oh how wonderful you are my creation." Said the mysterious
figure while coming to the creature. Then the removed the hood to
reveal a beautiful young woman. She is about in her early 20's and has
long luxurious black hair and electric blue eyes.

	Brock went into his pretty girl mode as he was looking at her.
"Eh-heh-heh pretty." Brock babbled with a red face and his goofy grin.
"Brock." "Hey Brock!" Ash called out while waving his and in front of
Brock's face. No response. "Oh no we lost Brock again!" Sighed Misty.
"We just couldn't take him anywhere." Replied Ash with an equal sigh.
Then some just reminded Misty. "Say I just thought of something."
"Remember what Gary's girls told us that the mysterious trainer was a
girl and she uses pokemon that no one has ever seen?" She asked Ash.

	Ash didn't know first until he figure out what she is talking
about. "You mean she's the mysterious trainer that beat Gary?" He
replied. "Well that could be the only logical explanation." Said
Misty. "Funny she doesn't look like a mad trainer." Said Ash. "Well
looks can be deceiving." Replied Misty. "Tell that to Brock." Added
Ash while motioning his eyes to Brock. "Pretty." Garbled Brock with
his famous goofy grin. "One of these days we are going to have him
fix." Sighed Misty with some annoyance.

	"Pika pika."(That will hurt him.) Added Pikachu. They mysterious
trainer picked up her creation and hold it close to her. The creature
looked up at its creator and was happy to see her. "Ah yes you are
definitely one of my very best that I have ever made." She said it
with a warm smile and a gentle laugh. "Raa." Said the creature. "You
said your first syllable, that is a good sign." She complimented the
creature. "I think I shall name you Romayo." "Raa raa romayo."Romayo
likes its name and snuggles up to its creator.

	"I see it but I don't believe it." Said Meowth in a perplex
manor. "Do you know what kind of pokemon it is?" James asked in the
same manor. "I don't know if that thing is a pokemon." Meowth answered
back. "Well whatever it is the Boss will have to reward us big time."
Jessie said it with a wicked smile. "This will get us on his good side
for sure." Added James. "And I'll be able to knocked off that good for
nothing Persian off the Boss's favorite list!" Meowth included with a
small mischievous laugh. Meanwhile across from Team Rocket, our heroes
are still trying to figure out what that thing is.

	And Brock is still mesmerized by the mysterious trainer for
awhile. "Okay so if this pokemon doesn't even exist then what's it
doing here?" Ash asked in a profound way. "We don't know if that thing
really is a pokemon." Replied Misty. "Well whatever it is that trainer
must have incredible breeding techniques." Added Brock still admiring
the trainer. "Pree togi togi togepi!" (Oh boy someone new to play
with!) Said Togepi as it jumped over the bushes and runs towards the
unnamed trainer and Romayo. "Oh no!" Cried Misty.

	"Come back Togepi!" "Don't go!" "We'll are going to be caught!"
"Pika!"(Get back here!) Said Misty, Ash, Brock, and Pikachu in unison.
The mysterious trainer and Romayo have just now notice Togepi coming
towards them. Romayo seemed a bit suspicious but its trainer didn't
looked worried. "Well hello there." She said it with a small warm
smile and a gentle laugh. "Where did you come from little one?" "Togi
togi togi." (I'm from over there.) Said Togepi as it is pointing tot
he bushes it came out of.

	"Do you want me to follow you?" She asked kindly. "Pree togi
togi." (Yeah come on.) Said Togepi as it led her to the bush. When
they got to the bushes the trainer heard our friends' voices in them.
"Quiet everyone she's coming this way!" whispered Ash. "She is?!"
"Quick how do I look?!" Brock asked excitedly. "Nevermind that!" "Are
you forgetting what happened to Gary?!" Misty scolded "Excuse me is
there a problem?" The trainer asked politely. "Oh no she heard us!"
Ash panicked. "Well don't just sit there go face her!" Misty told him.
"Why me?" Asked Ash still nervous.

	"Well you're the one who wanted to challenge her." She reminded
him. "Yeah but I think it's kind of early and I need some time to
prepare." "Besides I don't think that Pikachu is quite up to it."
Stalled Ash. "Pika." (He's right.) "Oh no you don't Ash Ketchem!"
"Ieither you go and challenge her or else I'll tell everyone that you
chicken out of a battle!" Misty threatened. "Well if Ash doesn't want
to meet her...," Said Brock but got cut off by Misty. "I don't think
so." "If she sees you, you might get shot down before you can say
anything." That discouraged Brock and made him remain still.

	"Okay Ash now it's your chance to face her!" said Misty. But
before Ash could say something, the lady trainer peered over the
bushes. "Pardon me but if there is something that I can help you?"
She asked kindly. But when our heroes heard her and turn to face her
they (except for Brock) screamed in panic. "Ahhh!!!" Pika!!!" "What is
it?" "Did I did something to frighten all of you?" She asked again.
"I-I'm sorry." Garbled Ash on his knees begging for forgiveness.
"Please forgive us?" "We didn't mean to disturb you."

	"Yeah we were just passing through." Added Misty. "But if you
want me to stay I'll be happy to do so." Garbled Brock with his
lovesick look on his face. Misty literally knocked some sense into him
with her backpack. "Would you cut that out and tried to remember what
are we doing here!" She scold at the very hurt Brock. "Listen I don't
mean to be rude or anything but would somebody please tell me what is
going on here?" The mysterious trainer asked sternly. The four
travelers looked at each other to see who will answer first.

	Then Ash got up from his knees and started to speak. "My name is
Ash Ketchum and I'm from Pallet Town." He introduced himself formally
as best he could with some nervousness still in his voice. "And these
are my friends, Misty, Brock, and Pikachu my pokemon." He motions his
hand to them. "Hello." Said Misty, still a little a scared. "Ah hi."
Said the still mesmerized Brock. "Pika."(Hi.) Added Pikchu. "Oh, well
hello to all of you." Said the mysterious trainer. "My name is Amora
Enchantica." She introduced herself.

	Brock quickly got out of the bushes and hold her hand like a
gentleman would. "Amora." "That is a beautiful name." "Is that Spanish
for love?" Said Brock with his goofy grin. Misty got up and pushed
Brock back down. "Would you get back down we don't want to scare her."
Scold Misty. "Sorry about that Ms. Enchantica he always like this
every time he meets a pretty face." Ash apologized. "Oh that is quite
alright." Actually he was kind of sweet." Amora forgave with her sweet
smile. "And please call me Amora."

	"Would all of you cared to join me?" She asked nicely. "Yeah
sure." "Okay." "I love to." Pika." (Yes.)  All four of them accepted
her invitation and stepped out of the bushes. Togepi jumped into
Misty's arms. "Sorry that Togepi was a bother to you." Misty
apologized. "Is that what your pokemon is?" Amora asked surprisingly.
"Oh it wasn't really a bother." "If it wasn't for this little one, I
would never met all you." Amora gently tickled Togepi under its chin.
"Pree togi togi." Togepi laughed cheerfully. "So who is this little
guy that you are holding?" Ash asked while addressing to Romayo.

	"This, young Ash, is my pokemon creation, Romayo." Amora
answered while showing Romayo to everyone. "Say hello Romayo?" She
asked it kindly. "Ra ra Romayo." (Hello to everyone.) It greeted. "Oh
it's so cute!" said Misty with her girly voice. "Where did you ever
find it?" Misty was gently tickling under Romayo's cheek. Romayo
started to purr. "Raa."(I like her she has a nice touch.) "Well you
all saw what was happening." "I made it." She answered with a smile.

	"Huh?" They all said it with confused looks. "But how is that
possible?" Ash asked. "Nobody can just make a pokemon." Acknowledge
Misty. "How did you it?" added Brock. "Well if you all want to know,
perhaps we can discuss this over some tea and spice cake." "Would you
all care to join me?" Amora asked. "Yes thank you." Ash answered
politely. "I would love some tea and cake." Replied Misty. "Sure."
Added Brock. "Pika."(Okay.) "Togi."(Goody.) Said Pikachu and Togepi
in unison. They all follow Amora to her log cabin and she invited them
all in.

	After they were all inside Team Rocket jumped out of the trees
and that they were hiding and they heard and saw everything. "Did you
guys get everything?" Jessie asked in her usual wicked voice. "This
is too good to be true!" "A pokemon trainer that makes her own
pokemon!" Said James with enthusiasm. "When da Boss hears about this
we'll be jet setters for life!" Added Meowth with a mixture of stars
and dollar signs swirling around his head. "We're going to be rich!"
"We're going to be rich!" Chanted both James and Meowth as they danced
in a circle.

	Jessie whacked them over with a big fan. "Will you two be
quiet!" Scold Jessie. "We won't be anything if those twerps and that
weirdo trainer hear us!" "Yes ma'am." "Sorry Jess." Said both James
and Meowth in unison while rubbing their heads. All three of them tip
toed towards the cabin and found a half-open window. Jessie brought
out a portable periscope and raises it at eye level of the window.
Meanwhile the group is just enjoying their tea and spice cake when
Amora is now asking questions. "So may I ask what brought you all here
in this part of the forest?" She asked.

	"We're in a pokemon journey." Ash replied with confidence. "I
want to be the greatest pokemon master." "I want to be the greatest
pokemon breeder." Said Brock trying to sound impressive as he could.
"And I want to know everything about water pokemon." Added Misty.
"Oh my those are highly and honorable goals you all have." Said Amora
with an encouraging smile. "Thank you Amora that's the nicest thing
anyone has ever said to us." Replied Ash with a returning smile.

	"So what is a nice (and beautiful) lady like you doing all by
herself in the middle of the forest?" Brock asked with his usual red
face and shy voice. "Well I suppose it would be fair, but you all have
to promise never to tell a living soul about what am I going to say."
Said Amora. The others looked at each other with no idea what she
meant, but better than to ask, and promise her. "Well okay we
promise." Said Ash crossing his heart. Brock and Misty did the same
and so did Pikachu and Togepi. "We won't tell anyone." Brock. "Your
secret will be safe with us." Misty.

	"Pikachu."(Pokemon's honor.) Pikachu. "Togepree." (We won't
tell.) Togepi. "Thank you my friends." Said Amora. "I might as well
get straight to the point." "You all saw what happened when you first
came here?" "Mm-hmm, you said that you made Romayo." Responded Ash
while directing to Romayo that Amora was holding who seemed to be
having a delightful conversation with Pikachu and Togepi. "But how can
you or anyone ever be able to make a pokemon?" Acknowledged Misty.
"Yeah it looked like something out of a fantasy novel." Added Brock.
"Well the truth is...I'm a pokemon enchantress." Amora confessed.

	A mixture of shock and amazement came across the travelers'
faces. "Uh-uh-a pokemon whatits?" Ash asked with a perplex look. "A
pokemon enchantress." Repeated Amora. "I create and raise my own
pokemon using both spiritual and earth elements." "Spiritual and Earth
elements?" Said Misty with a look of curiosity and interest on her
face. "That is correct Misty." Amora reassured her. "Earth's elements
are usually Earth, wind, fire, water, metal, and lightning." "Earth is
for strength and nurture." "Wind is for grace and speed."

	"Fire is for courage and fighting spirit." "Water is for purity
and tranquility." "Metal is for concentration." "And lightning is for
life." "Well that takes care of the Earth elements but what are the
spiritual elements?" Asked Misty. "The spiritual elements are love,
peace, and honor." Amora answered. "And they can be found in a human
soul." "But how do you put a human soul in a cauldron?" Asked Ash.
"This is how I did it." Said Amora as she showed them the finger that
she pricked. "I pricked my finger because we enchanters and
enchantresses believe that the blood contains the soul."

	"But do not fret we only use our own blood." "So when you're
using your blood to make Romayo it also have your soul." Acknowledged
Ash. "That is correct Ash." Praised Amora. "And when that lightning
bolt struck inside the cauldron, it activated the blood." Brook took a
wild guess." Precisely Brock." Amora assured him making Brock blush.
"The lightning was giving it life which give the ingredients the
chance to be come one." "Then what was the idea of that whirlwind?"
Asked Misty. "Oh you must've meant my mixer." Said Amora.

	"It was combining all the ingredients to help make them into
one." "Oh I get it like a giant blender." Said Misty. "Yes something
like that." Replied Amora with a soft smile and gently stroking
Romayo. "It takes a lot of work, a lot of time, and a lot of patients
but above all it's worth every bit of it to make my pokemon." "Romayo
is one of my very best I have ever made." "One of your very best?" Ash
asked with a surprised look. "You mean there's more than one?" Asked
Misty with the same look. "But of course." Answered Amora.

	"Would you all like to meet them?" "It's time I introduce Romayo
to its brothers and sisters." "Oh you bet!" "I love to!" "Sure of
course!" "Pika!"(Yeah!) "Togepree!"(Goody!) Said everyone in unison.
"Wonderful!" "Now then if all of you wait for me back outside, we can
get started." Amora requested and left the room with Romayo following
behind. Ash and his friends shrug a bit and headed towards the door.
"Uh oh they're coming this way!" Said James in a small panicky voice.
"We better hide quick before they see us!" Affirmed Jessie.

	"Meowth right!" Added Meowth. Jessie lowered the periscope and
closed it up. Then all three of them quickly ducked behind the cabin
and carefully peered behind when the door open. "I wonder why she
wanted us to be outside?" Misty asked as she is coming out of the
door. "Maybe her pokemon required a lot of space for the
introduction." Said Brock. "I just hope that her other pokemon are
just a neat and friendly as Romayo." Added Ash. Team Rocket looked at
each other with puzzled looks and quickly went back into hiding when
Amora came out with a small wooden jewelry box.

	"I wonder what's in that box?" James asked in a whisper. "It's
looks kinda small for a pokemon." Meowth replied also in a whisper.
"Will you two be quiet before they catch us!" Jessie ordered in a
harsh whisper. Both James and Meowth nodded and went back on spying on
our heroes. When everyone is now outside Amora presented the box.
"I'm so glad that I can show all of you my pokemon." Said Amora
holding out the box to them. "Are they all in that little box?" Misty
asked while pointing at the box. "Yes Misty." Answered Amora.

	"This is where I stored them when they are not in battle." "It
looks kind of crowded to me." Said Ash. "Well my pokemon don't seemed
to mind." Said Amora as she opens the box. Everyone oohed and ahhed as
they looked inside. The box contained three diamond shaped gems that
looked like the one on Romayo's forehead, but in different colors.
White, green, and silver. "Huh, these are your pokemon?" Ash asked.
"They looked like gems." Said Misty. "But they looked like that little
gem on Romayo's forehead." Added Brock.

	"Actually you are all correct." Said Amora. "These are my
special pokegems." "Pokegems?" said Ash with his perplex look on his
face. "I haven't heard of those before." Added Misty. "That's because
I haven't told anyone about them yet." Replied Amora. "You are the
very first people that I wanted to show them to you willingly." She
let Ash hold the box and picked out the silver gem. "Each gem contains
a pokemon that I have recently made."

	"Well I think they are pretty but how does a pokemon get out of
it?" Misty asked with the compliment. "I'm so glad that you asked."
Said Amora. "Would you all like to see?" "Sure!" "Pika!" "Pree!" They
all say it together. "Very well then." She replied started to throw
the gem up in the air. "Juliana!" "I call for thee!" Amora shouted.
The gem started to glow in a silvery light then the light began to
shape itself into some kind of coil and sprouted wings and three
little hair-like feelers. When it finally finish the shape turned out
to be a little pink fur mongoose like creature with no leg nor paws
but with head and a small yellow beak of a peacock. Blue eyes, wings,
yellow fan tail feathers with blue circles, and the silver gem on its
forehead.

	"Jewel jewel juliana." (Yes Mother.) Said Juliana. Everyone was
stunned in amazement when they saw the transformation. "That that that
was incredible!" Said Misty still in amazement. "This is
unbelievable!" Responded Brock. "That has to be the coolest thing I
have ever seen!" Added Ash still exited "But how did you do that?"
"It's quite simple actually." Said Amora while reaching out for
another pokegem. "All I have to do is call out its name and ask it to
come out." The next gem is a green one. "Calcoona!" " I call for
thee!"

	This gem glowed a bright green light and started to take shape.
It looks sort of a big bright green glob but then it started to grow
wings, a tail, a long neck, four large stumps for feet, and form of a
head. The light ended and then stands there another pokemon creation
with a head and neck of a dragon, the body of and feet of an elephant,
a tail of a whale, white skin, green spines, green eyes, green lips,
a small breathing hole on top of it's head. Two smaller holes on
either side of its head, big wings, and the green gem on it's
forehead.

	And when it open it's wings, the inside was incredibly beautiful
with a mixture of all kinds of colors of a rainbow. "This one's name
is Calcoona." Amora introduced. "Calcoona say hello to our new
friends." Coo coo calcoona."(Hello.) Greeted Calcoona. Ash and his
friends were simply amazed by this one. "Wow it's beautiful!" Said
Misty with admiration. Calcoona closed its wings and walked up to the
group and lowered its head. "It's okay it just want you to pet it."
Amora reassured. Everyone started to pet Calcoona on the head
including Pikachu and Togepi.

	"Pikachu."(Hello.) "Togepree."(Hi.) Both Pikachu and Togepi
greeted. "Calcoona loves getting attention and making new friends."
Said Amora while getting the final gem. Just as everyone finish
petting Calcoona, their attention turned to the white gem. "This one
is my proudest of them all." She said with a proud smile. "You mean
that pretty white gem?" Asked Misty. "Yes Misty." Answered Amora.
"This is the very first pokemon that I created since I was a child."
"And ever since then it is the most reliable, dependable, loyal,
faithful, and most advance pokemon and best friend that I ever had."

	After all that Amora threw the gem up in the air and shouted.
"Panja!" "I call for thee!" The gem started to glow into a brilliantly
blinding white light. Then, just as the last two, it started to take
shape. First came a head with two pointed ears, then two human like
arms with giant paw like hands and claw like fingers. Two human like
legs with paw like feet and claw like toes. A well built but feminine
body, and a long tail. After it is finish, there now stands what looks
likes a Black Panther that looks almost human. It has yellow eyes with
black slit pupils.

	Giant claws on both of its feet and hands silver whiskers, and a
long black tail. The creature was also dressed in an all white ninja
garb without the mouth cover and has the white gem on its forehead.
"Pa-panja."(I'm here Mother.) The creature said in mixture of purrs
and growls. Then it did some fancy flips and landed next to Amora.
"Everyone meet Panja my first pokemon creation." Amora introduced. Our
heroes seem very intimidated by Panja. It looks very menacing.
"There's no reason to be afraid." Amora said with a reassuring smile.

	"Panja is very gentle by nature." Panja bowed down to Ash and
co. And they bowed back. "Did you guys get a load of dat?" Said Meowth
with a surprised look on his face. "I see it but I don't believe it."
Said James with the same look. "Incredible!" Swooned Jessie with big
eyes and a dreamy expression on her face. "Jewelry that can turn into
pokemon!" "It's a dream come true." Jessie quietly squealed with glee.
All three of them went back into the side of the cabin. "Now comes the
hard part." Said Meowth with his paw on his chin and looking on the
ground. "How are we able to going to try to steal those pokemon?"

	They all kept trying to think up a good plan. Then Jessie
finally has and idea. "I got one!" Jessie announced snapping her
fingers. They gathered up in a small huddle and whispered the plan.
"Oh that is a good!" Said James. "Your best one yet Jess!"
Complimented Meowth. "Naturally!" Replied Jessie. "Now come on we have
a lot of work to do!" She ordered and the three of them sneaked away
with little snickers. Meanwhile Amora and our friends were just about
to get ready for the introductions.

	"All right everyone gather around its time for us to start."
Said Amora clapping her hands to get everyone's attention. They
al grouped up around Amora. "Today I want all of you to meet the
newest member of our family, Romayo!" "Ra."(Hello) Said Romayo as
Amora hold it out wards so everyone else can see. Panja went up to
Amora and Romayo and just stared at it. "I hope it's not going to do
what I think it might." Said Ash nervously. Panja and Romayo just
looked at each other for a while. Then suddenly Panja smiled at
Romayo. "Panja." (Welcome home.) Said Panja as Amora let it hold
Romayo.

	Panja hold Romayo above its head for everyone to see. All of
Amora's pokemon cheered for Romayo and Romayo just flapped its wings
and saying "Romayo Romayo!"(I am home!) "It looks like everyone seem
to like Romayo." Said Misty with a small smile. "They sure do."
Replied Ash. "I was bit worried when Panja came up to Romayo." For a
minute there I thought it was going to challenge Romayo." "But if just
wanted to say hi." "I guess since Panja is Amora's first pokemon that
kinda makes is the eldest and wanted to be the first one to welcome
Romayo into the family." Added Brock.

	"They way they're cheering for Romayo, it seems though they
known each other their whole lives." Said Misty as she is watching
Panja bringing Romayo to all of Amora's pokemon. "Maybe have, in a
sense of things." Said Brock as he lightly scratches his chin. "What
do you mean Brock?" Ssked Ash wanting to know. "Remember what Amora
said that pokemon enchanters and enchantresses only use their blood
because they believe that the blood contains all the essence of the
heart and soul?" "Yeah so?" Misty responded.

	"Well think about it." Brock confirmed. "Each of Amora's
pokemon have her blood flowing their veins." "Which means they might
all have her soul as well." "That's why they all seem to know each
other." Said Ash hitting the nail on that theory. "They all recognize
Amora's soul." Said Misty. "That's right." Praised Brock. "She's not
just their creator and trainer, she's their mother." Romayo seemed to
be enjoying itself with its new family. "Say!" Said Misty getting an
idea. "Since everyone is introducing each other why don't we introduce
our pokemon to Amora's!"

	"Yeah that sounds cool!" Ash replied with enthusiasm. "That is a
great idea!" added Brock. "Pika!"(I like it!) Said Pikachu.
"Togepree!"(Yay!) Squealed Togepi. All five of them went up to Amora.
"Excuse me Amora." Said Ash politely. "Yes Ash?" Replied Amora with a
kind look on her face. "We were just wondering if it would be okay if
we introduce our pokemon to yours?" He asked in a nice way. "Why I
think that would be most excellent idea." Replied Amora with her
approval tone of voice.

	"Alright, thank you Amora." Said Misty with a wink and thumbs
up. Ash, Brock, and Misty pulled out their pokeballs and start
throwing them into the air. "Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Lapras, Snorlax!"
"I choose you!" Ash shouted as all of his pokemon popped out. "Onix,
Geodude, Zubat, Vulpix!" "Go!" Shouted Brock as his pokemon started to
appear. "Staryu, Goldeen, Psyduck!" "Come on out!" Misty called out as
her pokemon showed up as well. All of our heroes' pokemon are up and
about (except for maybe Snorlax) then they see Amora's pokemon.

	At first they were about to get ready to battle but then Ash,
Brock, and Misty manage to reassure them. "Whoa whoa!" "Take it easy
guys." Said Ash to the pokemon. "There's no need to have a battle."
"Brock reassured them. "These pokemon wanted to be our friends." Said
Misty. The pokemon looked confused. They have never seen other pokemon
with gems on their foreheads before. Then Pikachu comes along to set
things straight. "Pika pika pika p pika pi!"(Now listen up
everybody!) said Pikachu calling everybody's attention.

	"Pika pi pikachu cha pika pika." (We are not here to battle.)
"Chu pika pi pikachu pika pika." (The reason we called you here is to
meet our new friends.) Pikachu waved its hand towards Amora's pokemon.
The pokemon did not know what to make of this. "Squirtle squirtle
squirtle?"(You mean you actually made friends with these guys?)
Squirtle asked suspiciously. "Pika pika pikachu."(Yes we did and they
could be yours too if you give them a chance.) Pikachu reassured.

	"Bulbasaur bulba bulba bulbasaur." (But they look so different.)
Said Bulbasaur. "Pika pi pika pikachu pika." (Just because they're
different that doesn't mean they are bad.) Pikachu confirmed. Just
then Panja decided to walk towards the pokemon. "Squirtle squirtle."
(You were saying.) Said Squirtle seeing Panja heading their direction
and took off to meet it half way. Pikachu and the pokemon followed.
"Pika pika pikachu cha!"(No wait Squirtle this one is a friend!)
Pikachu yelled but Squirtle didn't listen. Then Ash, Misty, and Brock
see Squirtle heading towards Panja's direction.

	"Uh-oh I hope Squirtle isn't going to do anything foolish." Said
Misty with concern. "No wait Squirtle!" Ash called out as he went
after Squirtle. "We are not here to battle these pokemon!" He and
Pikachu managed to stop Squirtle but it was struggling to get loose.
"Pika pika pika pi!"(No don't Squirtle!) Said Pikachu holding Squirtle
back. "Pikachu cha pika!"(It's not going to hurt you!) Panja is
getting closer and closer with each step. "Squirtle squirlte squirt
squirtle squirtle!"(Let me go I can take on this thing!) Replied
Squirtle as it is trying to break free.

	But Panja is now already standing in front of Squirtle. Squirtle
looked up and saw the six-foot tall human like Black Panther pokemon
with the yellow eyes and slit black pupils, silver whiskers, and
massive claws. Squirtle gulped with fear but is still trying to act
brave. "Squirtle squirtle squirtle squirtle!"(All right now buddy lets
see how tough you really are!) Squirtle dared to Panja still nervous.
Panja reach inside of its vest. Squirtle thought Panja was about to
attack and gets ready for it's water gun.

	"No Squirtle!" "Pika!" (Wait!) Yelled both Ash and Pikachu. Just
as Squirlte was about to release, Squirtle stop and sees a small white
flower and Panja holding it. Panja was squatted down to Squirtle's
level so it can offer the flower. Squirtle swallowed the water gun
attack and look at the flower. "Pan pa pan panja."(Welcome to our
home, friend.) Greeted Panja still holding the flower. "Squirtle
squirtle squirtle?"(What is this?) Squirtle asked with a confused look
while Panja gave it the flower. "Panja pan pa ja panja. Pan."(This is
the flower of goodwill.) Replied Panja.

	"Pa pan ja panja pa."(We like to use them as peace offerings to
show people that we mean no harm.) Panja bowed down to Squirtle. "See
Squirlte, Panja and the rest of Amora's pokemon do not want to
battle." Said Ash reassuring Squirlte. "Pika pika pikachu." (They just
wanted to be our friends.) Added Pikachu. Squirtle now feels guilty.
"Squirtle."(I'm sorry.) Squirtle apologize to Panja. "Panja panja
panja panja panja."(It's quite alright we don't get many visitors very
often.) Panja forgave and shook hands.

	Then Squirtle turned to the other pokemon. "Squirtle squirtle
squirtle squirtle squirtle!"(Hey you guy these here new pokemon are
okay!) Squirtle called out to the rest of our friends' pokemon. All of
the other pokemon looked at each other with concern. "Vulpix Vulpix
vulpix?"(Is anyone sure about this?) Vulpix asked. "Bulbasaur bulba
bulbasaur."(If Squirtle says they're okay then I think so too.)
Replied Bulbasaur. Eeeooo."(Then I guess we all should greet them.)
Responded Laprass. "Hiya!"(All right lets go!) Added Staryu.

	All of the pokemon went up to meet all of Amora's pokemon. "Hey
guys would you look at all of this?" Ash called out. "This is
absolutely incredible!" Misty responded. "All of our pokemon are
actually getting along with Amora's pokemon!" Added Brock. "Pikachu."
(I'm glad Misty thought this up.) Said Pikachu. "Togepree!" (This is
fun!) Quipped Togepi. Just then Misty notice something. "Hey Ash I
don't see Charizard anywhere." Said Misty peering over the crowd.
"Well I-uh decided not to get Charizard." Ash replied shamefully.

	"But I thought you want all of your pokemon to meet Amora's
pokemon." Said Brock "I do, but if I let Charizard out, it might cause
damage and would probably want to hurt Amora's pokemon." Ash had told
them. "Excuse me Ash, I don't mean to pry, but is that true?" Amora
asked when she heard what they were talking about. Ash tried to think
of something else to say but he looked at Amora's kind face and just
gave in. "Yes Amora it's true." Ash confessed with his head hanging
low. "I've been having trouble getting my charizard to obey me."

	"When I first met it, Charizard was a charmander back then."
"It used to exactly what I say but when Charmander evolve into
Charmelion, it doesn't want to listen to me" "And when it finally
evolve into Charizard, it is still disobedient." Ash let out a big
sigh. "I truly now believe it doesn't like me anymore." A single tear
came out of Ash's eye. "Pikachu."(Poor Ash.) Said Pikachu patting
Ash's leg. "Is that what you think?" Amora asked placing a hand on
Ash's shoulder. "Yeah." Said Ash sadly. "I just wish I knew what am I
doing wrong."

	"Maybe I can help." Said Amora with her warm smile. "You mean
it?" Ash asked with an excited voice. "You will help me get Charizard
to obey me?" "But of course, this will give me a chance to teach
someone a special technique that is part of the introduction." Amora
replied. Then she looked at both Misty and Brock. "And if you want I
can teach the both of you as well." "Really, well my Psyduck always
keeps popping out every time I call my other pokemon." "Okay count me
in!" Misty accepted the offer.

 	"Yeah me too." "Maybe this will help me to be a better breeder."
Added Brock. "All right then it settle well start as soon as Ash
brings out Charizard." Said Amora. "Are you sure?" Ash asked while
getting his pokeball. "I insist." Replied Amora. "Okay but I hope you
have insurance."

	Ash turned his hat backwards and throws the pokeball.
"Charizard!" "I Choose You!" Ash called out just as soon as Charizard
appeared. "Charizard!" (Oh Yeah!) Charizard roared. Then it looked
around and spotted Amora's pokemon along with our friends' pokemon as
well. "Charizard char zard."(All right time for a good battle.) Said
Charizard in its battling pose. "Uh-oh!" said Brock nervously. "I
don't like that look on Charizard's face." Added Misty. "No
Charizard!" Ash shouted. "We are not here to battle!"

	"These pokemon are our friends!" But, as usual, Charizard did
not listen and shoot up straight into the air. "Look out everybody!"
Brock shouted. "It's Charizard's Rage Attack!" Yelled Misty. Just as
Charizard was about to unleash it's attack, a big white whale tail
struck it directly on it's face and Charizard is now falling hard on
to the ground. "Charizard!" Ash shouted hoping that Charizard is okay.
When Charizard quickly cleared its head, it finally saw what hit it
and it was Calcoona. Calcoona was staring down at Charizard with its
green eyes and narrowing down and a slightly angry look on its face.

	Charizard has never seen a pokemon like Calcoona. The green gem
its forehead, those green lips, those incredible wings, the green
spine on its back. But what really got Charizard attention were
Calcoona's green eyes. Then Charizard started to get a dreamy look on
its face with droopy eyes and goofy grin. "Uh-oh I recognize that
look." Said Misty. "What look is that Misty?" asked Brock. "That's the
same look you always get every time you meet a pretty face." Misty
answered with a smirk. "You don't mean..." said Ash. "Uh-huh Charizard
is in love!" Misty replied with a big smile on her face.

	Both Ash and Brock got shocking expressions on their faces.
Charizard, now with the famous goofy Brock lovesick look, picked
itself up and bowed down to Calcoona. "Char char Charizard cha zard
char." (Hello there my name is Charizard.) Charizard introduced
itself. "Char char zard cha chard?" (What is a beautiful thing like
you doing in a place like this?) Calcoona just keep giving Charizard
the cold stare. "Char char cha zard."

	(Maybe you and I can get together for dinner sometime.)
Charizard offer but Calcoona just turned its head with the nose in the
air. "Ca!"(Hmph!) Calcoona retorted. "Coo coo ca na calcoona ca."
(Sorry but I don't socialize with pokemon who hates humans and tries
to hurt my family.) Calcoona went back to the group leaving a very
hurt Charizard behind. "Ouch and it also got shot down like Brock."
Said Ash feeling sorry for Charizard. Ash turned to Amora. "I'm sorry
Amora." Ash apologizes. "This is why I don't want Charizard to be
out." "It's too unpredictable." "It's alright Ash." Amora forgive him.

	"At least we now know what we are dealing with here." Charizard
had just joined up by slumping along the way. "Okay now that everyone
is here we can start the proceedings." Said Amora getting everyone's
attention. "But first, Brock would you mind ask your Onix to dig a
hole big enough so we can have a pool for the water pokemon?" Amora
asked politely. "I sure will Amora." Brock replied with a wink (that
is if he can) "Onix, please dig a hole big enough for a pool?" Brock
asked Onix nicely. "Roar!" (Okay!) Onix responded and start digging.

	Onix kept on going around in circles widening the hole. "Okay
Onix I think that is big enough." Said Brock. Onix climbed out of the
hole. "Good work Onix." Complimented Brock petting Onix on the nose.
"Roar roar." (Thank you.) Said Onix with a smile. "Perfect." Said
Amora observing the hole. "Alright Calcoona, fill this hole with your
ultimate water cannon." "Coo coo ca na."(Okay Mother.) Said Calcoona
and started shooting a large and rapid stream of water from its head.

	"Wow now that is what I call a water gun attack!" said Ash with
his astonish voice. "Actually it's Calcoona's Ultimate Water Cannon
Attack but I do want to thank you for your compliment." Said Amora.
"Oh, well your welcome." Replied Ash. The water was immediately
filling the hole at incredible speed. "Okay Calcoona I think that is
enough water." Amora called out. Calcoona finish filling the pool.
"Very good Calcoona." Amora petted Calcoona. "Coo coo calcoona coo."
(Thank you Mother.) Said Calcoona nuzzling to Amora.

	"Okay, for those of you who have water pokemon, please put them
in the pool." Said Amora. "Okay Amora." Replied Ash. "Okay Lapras and
Squirtle, would you two go into the pool, please?" Ash asked. "Ooooo!"
(Sure!) Answered Lapras. "Squirtle squirtle!"(You betcha!) Added
Squirtle and they both went into the pool. "Okay Staryu and Goldeen,
into the pool you go." Said Misty cheerfully to her pokemon. "Hiya!"
(Alright!) Replied Staryu happily.

	"Goldeen goldeen goldeen goldeen!" (Wonderful, it was about to
get a little dry!) Added Goldeen and both of them hopped towards the
pool. Psyduck tried to put its foot into the water, but it received a
small shock of coldness. "Psy yi yi yi yi!"(Water too cold water too
cold water to cold!) Wailed Psyduck while holding it's head and
running around like Gary once did. "I hope whatever Amora is teaching
us had better be worth it." Sighed Misty with head hanging low. "It is
now time everyone." Announced Amora. "Welcome to your lesson of
becoming closer to your pokemon." "Ash, Misty, Brock, I want each of
you to form a group with your pokemon."

	"Okay Amora, come on Pikachu." Said Ash and went to his pokemon
with Pikachu following close behind. "Sure thing Amora." Replied Misty
and with to her pokemon carrying Togepi. "Will do." Added Brock and
headed to his pokemon. All three of them did exactly what Amora had
said. Lapras was first in the line of the pool with Squirtle next to
it. Bulbasaur sit close to the edge of the pool next to Squirtle.
Charizard was sitting next to Lapras, but it didn't look all too happy
to be here.

	"Char char char."(This is dumb.) Charizard complain with its
arms crossing above its chest. "Char cha zard char charizard char."
(I want to fight in battles, not doing some silly pow-wow.) "Bulba
bulba bulb ba."(Oh will you shut up.) Bulbasaur told off Charizard.
"Bulba bulba bulbasaur bulba." (Your just p'd because Calcoona shot
you down.) "Squirtle squirtle squirt squirtle."(Yeah Mr. I'm the
strongest pokemon in the world.) Squirtle razzed on. "Squirtle squirt
squirtle squirtle."(But when it come of getting a date, you're bad as
Brock.) Charizard just blew two small puffs of smoke from its
nostrils.

	"Alright that's enough dissing Charizard." Said Ash while
getting the rest of his pokemon. Charizard was a bit surprised by the
way Ash stood up for it. But it did is best not to show it. Snorlax is
now sitting (or lying) next to Charizard, Pikachu sat next to
Bulbasaur and Ash is sitting between Pikachu and Snorlax. "Okay I
think that is about everybody in this group." Said Ash smiling at his
pokemon. Misty had just finish getting her pokemon in a group. Staryu
in the pool was first. Goldeen is floating next to Staryu. Psyduck,
who some how made a quick recovery from the cold water shock, is
sitting next to Goldeen.

	Togepi, not too close tot he edge of the pool, is sitting next
to the right side of Staryu, and Misty is sitting between Psyduck and
Togepi. Misty's group is rather smaller than Ash's but she doesn't
seem to mind. "All right everybody's here and counted for."  She said
with a smile. And finally Brock's group was already in order. Onix is
first in his group; Geodude is next to Onix's left side. Zubat is next
to Onix's right side, Vulpix is next to Geodude, and Brock is sitting
between Zubat and Vulpix.

	"Excellent, we are all here." Said Brock, smiling happily to his
pokemon. Amora came upon the three groups. All right now everybody."
Amora called out. "Now that we are all ready we can now begin." "I am
so glad that I can meet each and every single one of you." She
praised. "It has been so long since that we even had a visitor that
will want to meet us on friendly terms that we can share each other
secrets and traits and our skills." "And because of that I am willing
to teach all of you a special technique that will help you communicate
with your pokemon in a way that has been a secret for centuries."

	"I call this teaching 'Dream Speak'." "What does it do Amora?"
Ash asked. "It will let you to be able to talk to your pokemon in a
dream state." Replied Amora in a formal manner. "How does it work?"
Asked Misty. "It's quite simple actually." Answered Amora. "First
everyone close your eyes." Our friends and their pokemon closed their
eyes like Amora said. "Next, clear your mind with any stressful
thoughts." All three groups did their best on clearing their minds.
"Now then, all of you listen carefully to the rhythmic beatings of
your hearts."

	At first all that everyone hear was silence. They keep on
concentrating on listening to their hearts. Then Pikachu's ears perked
up a little bit. "Pika?"(What's that sound?) Pikachu whispered quietly
while keeping its eyes close. It sounded like little thumps in a
rhythmic beat. Then Pikachu figured it out what that sound was. It was
its heart. "Cha!"(I can hear it!) Said Pikachu with a smile. Pretty
soon everyone started to hear his or her own hearts. The thumping of
his or her heartbeats sounded so soothing to everyone.

	"This is very relaxing, but how is this going to help us to talk
to our pokemon?" Ash asked but no one responded. "Amora?" Ash called
out but again no body answered. Then Ash opens his eyes and all he
sees is a strange white fog that appear from nowhere.

	"What happen?" "Where is everybody?" Ash asked nervously.
"Brock!" "Misty!" "Pikachu!" "I'm here Ash!" Said a squeaky high-pitch
voice. "Huh!" "Who said that?" Said Ash trying to find the voice.
"It's me Ash." Replied the voice. Then Ash sees a small figure in the
fog. The figure looked very familiar to Ash. It had two long ears and
lightning bolt shape tail. It was coming towards Ash. Then when it
finally came to view, it was Pikachu. "Pikachu!" Said Ash happily.
"Boy am I glad to see you."

	"I'm glad to see you too Ash." Said Pikachu. Ash gasped of what
he just heard. "Pikachu?" "Did you just talked?" Ash asked in a
confused way. "I think so answered Pikachu. "So this is what talk
talking feels like." "It's rather nice." "This is fantastic!" Said Ash
excitedly as he lifted Pikachu up in the air. "So this is what Amora
meant by communicating with pokemon!" "Think of all the conversations
we can have!" "Yeah this is the best thing that ever happen to us!"
Replied Pikachu happily. "We can talk!" "We can talk!" "We can talk!"
Ash and Pikachu chanted together as they danced around in circles.

	"Hey what about us?" "Yeah don't we have anything to say too?"
Said two new voices. The first one was kind of crassy and gargle. The
second voice was a little bit gruff. Then Ash and Pikachu see two more
familiar figures in the fog. It was Squirtle and Bulbasaur and they
just came into view. "Whoa!" "Squirtle!" "Bulbasaur!" Ash called out
cheerfully. "You two can talk too?" "Of course we can talk." Said
Squirtle with the crass and gargled voice. "We always be able to talk
Ash." Added Bulbasaur with the gruffy voice.

	"Yeah but when Pokemon talk, they usually say their names or
some other sound. Well. except for Meowth since he is the only pokemon
who can actually talk." Said Ash. "This is the first time that Ash has
ever heard us really talking." Pikachu reassure Squirtle and
Bulbasaur. "So this is a new experience for us all." "Well in that
case what do you want to talk about Ash?" Asked Squirtle. "Yeah what
do you want to know?" added Bulbasaur. "I want to know everything!"
Replied Ash excitedly. "I've got so many questions I don't know where
to begin!" "How about when are we going to eat?" Said a new voice.

	It sounded like a snore. "Is that all you ever think about?"
Replied another voice. This one is light and soothing. Ash and his
pokemon recognized those voices right away. "Snorlax!" "Lapras!" Ash
gladly called them out. Snorlax and Laprass appear on to the scene.
"Hey glad you guys can make it." Said Squirtle. "Sorry that we're
late." Lapras apologized. "But I was having a difficult time trying to
wake up Snorlax." "What do expect?" "I'm suppose to sleep." "Why do
you think my name is Snorlax?" Snorlax defended itself.

	"Wow!" "This keeps getting cooler!" Said Ash still getting
overwhelm of his pokemon talking like real people. "I must say this is
quite exhilarating." Said Laprass. "You betcha Lapras." Complimented
Squirtle. "After all those months of talking in pokemon, it feels
really cool talking like real people talk." "I'll say." "I'm ready for
a stimulating conversation." Said Bulbasaur feeling real confident.
"Then I guess it will be a short one." Shot out new voice that sounded
rough and coarse. Everyone turned around and sees that voice belong to
Charizard.

	"Well well if it isn't the attitude problem." Said Squirtle with
a small frown and hands on both sides of its shell. "We're surprised
you even have the nerve to show up here Charizard." Added Bulbasaur
with narrowed eyes at Charizard. "Well Charizard I can't say for the
others but I for one am glad that you are here." Said Ash with a
straight face. "Yeah what ever kid." Replied Charizard with cockiness
in its voice. Ash courageously walks up to Charizard with the rest of
his pokemon following close behind. Ash and Charizard looked at each
other eye to eye.

	"I know that I'm wasting my time asking you this." Said Ash.
"But I've been waiting a long time ever since you evolved. "Well you
are right on the first part." Charizard responded. "Well I don't care
because I'm going to ask you anyway." Replied Ash. "Oh really?" Said
Charizard. "And what is on that little mind of yours?" "Why do you
hate me?" Ash's question seemed to shock Charizard a bit. "What do
you mean by that kid?" Charizard questioned Ash. "I'm the one who is
asking you!" Ash told Charizard with a little bit of anger forced in
his voice.

	"Just what is it that made you hate me?" Charizard tried to
avoid the subject. "I-I-I don't know what you are talking about." Said
Charizard turning its head in another direction. "You heard me!" Said
Ash getting angry. "Ever since you evolve into Charmeleon you did
nothing but ignoring me!" "So what if I have." Replied Charizard still
avoiding Ash's eyes "You become a selfish and lazy pig of a pokemon!"
Said Pikachu getting angry as Ash. "Since when did you have a right
into this conversation?" Said Charizard getting irritated.

	"Pikachu has the right to say whatever it wants!" Said Ash
getting a little serious. "You're the one we are having a problem
with!" Added Laprass. "You maybe a fire pokemon but your heart is
nothing but ice." "Now wait just a minute here!" Charizard yelled a
bit. "I've never said that I hated Ash!" "Then why do you keep
treating him like the stuff you scrape off your feet?" Squirtle now
asked. "Well I...that is...you see...I just don't feel like listening
to him." Answered Charizard but it seems that is about to loose this
battle.

	"You never feel like listening to him!" Pikachu yelled. "It was
your laziness and selfishness that cost Ash the Pokemon League in the
Indigo Plateau!" "Yeah well it's not like he was going to win anyway."
Retorted Charizard. "Besides the kid is a lousy trainer." The others
were shock when Charizard said that and Ash got hurt by it. "How dare
you said that about Ash!" Pikachu shouted." He's the greatest trainer
we ever have!" Squirtle yelled. "If it wasn't for him you would've
never evolve at all!" added Bulbasaur.

	"Well...uh...that maybe." Said Charizard still being defeated
in this conversation. "But what else has he done for me lately?" "How
about the time he, Misty, and Brock saved your life!" Pikachu reminded
Charizard. "When was that?" Charizard question. "Don't you remember
Charizard!?" Responded Pikachu in an angry tone. "It was when you were
Charmander when we found you on that big rock." "Your ex-trainer,
Damien, tried to leave you there by lying to you that he'll come back
to get you." "You were waiting for so long that your tail fire was
about to go out."

	"So Ash, Misty, Brock, and I went back outside into the storm to
find you." "Ash was the one kept your tail fire lit while we were
taking you back to the pokemon center." So you see Charizard if it
wasn't for Ash you would've died a long time ago!" Charizard looked at
its tail fire burning brightly with its flames. Then it looked at Ash
with tears in his eyes. Then it went back looking at its tail.
Charizard had no idea what Ash had to go through to keep it alive. Now
Charizard remembers the time when Damien tried to force Charizard's
former form Charmander to come back to him.

	But it refused and joined up with Ash. "How can I been such a
jerk?" Charizard thought. "This kid risked his neck for me." And I
treated him like dirt." "Ash has always been good to us." It is now
Lapras's turn to speak. "He gives us love and compassion,
companionship, friendship, and he's been always kind to us all." "And
he makes sure that we get food and rest." Added Snorlax. "And how do
you show your gratitude?" Said Squirtle with a stern look. "By
trashing him with every single chance you get!" Bulbasaur finished.

	"Now hold on there Bulba!" said Charizard trying to win. "What
about the time when I save Ash from being that Aerodactyl's snack!"
"Was that before or after you tried to burn Ash into a crisp?"
Squirtle pointed out." "Aw come on Squirts!" Charizard trying to
defend itself the best it can. "I manage to catch him when Aerodactly
dropped him as it was about to go to sleep." "I'm grateful that you
saved me Charizard." Ash managed to speak up. "But I know your real
reason that you wanted to fight Aerodactly is because it knocked you
on the head."

	"It should've knock some senses into you while it was at it."
Added Pikachu. Charizard is now getting a little emotional. "But I did
wanted to save him!" "Honest!" "Oh please!" Retorted Bulbasaur. "All
you ever wanted to do is sleep!" "Even I'm not that lazy!" Added
Snorlax. "But I...that is...what I meant is...I didn't...I was..."
Stuttered Charizard stumbling over its words. "You know, we liked you
better when you were Charmander!" Said Squirtle. "Yeah you were a lot
nicer." Replied Bulbasaur.

	"At least Charmander was a team player." Added Pikachu. "You,
however, don't care about anyone but yourself!" "We should've left you
where we have found you!" Charizard can not believe that Pikachu said
that. Pikachu was usually the nice one it the group. But Pikachu's
anger struck Charizard like its electrical attacks. "Pikachu, you
don't really mean that do you?" Said Charizard with its voice all in a
quiver. "Oh yes I do." Replied Pikachu with its voice growing cold.
"You never listen to Ash!" "You never wanted to battle!" "And when you
do want to battle it is just because you want to show off!"

	Charizard now getting a little more emotional felled down to its
knees and started to beg. "Please you guys?" "Just give me another
chance." "We have been given you a dozen of chances." Said Bulbasaur.
"But you always spat on them!" Charizard is about to loose its calm
exterior. "What do you say guys." Squirtle spoke up. "All those in
favor of kicking Charizard out of the team, raise your hand or
flipper." All of the other pokemon raised their hands. Charizard can
not believe that this is happening. All of the pokemon had turn
against Charizard.

	Then it looked at Ash hoping that he will reconsider. But to
Charizard's horror, Ash raised his hand. "No, no!" said Charizard with
fear in its voice. "This can't be happening!" "I'm sorry Charizard but
the majority stands." Said Ash crying and tears streaming down his
face. "You are no longer part of this team." "But you can't do this to
me Ash!" replied Charizard with tears in its eyes. "I thought that we
were..." "Friends?" Ash finished for Charizard. "So did I until you
evolved." Ash and his other loyal pokemon turned their backs on
Charizard.

	"But you can't just leave me!" Charizard choked. "I'm not
leaving you Charizard." Ash responded with his voice now stiff. "I'm
giving back you your freedom." "But what will I do?" "Where will I
go?" Charizard asked in a panic stricken voice. "Oh I'm sure you'll be
able to take care of yourself." Said Squirtle in a mock tone of voice.
"Because that's all you ever think about." Added Bulbasaur in the same
voice and all of them walked away from Charizard. Charizard tried to
reach out to them but it was no use. They were all out of its range.

	"You guys wait!" Charizard called out to them but they kept on
walking, not hearing its cries. "Please Don't Leave Me!" Tears
streaming down Charizard's face. "I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!" "ASH!"
"ASH!" Charizard roared with extreme sadness in its voice, but it was
no use, no heard it crying. Then Charizard cried in sheer pain of a
broken heart. "What have I done?" Said Charizard between tears. "I
just lost the only true friend I ever had." Charizard cover its face
and with its hands and kept on crying.

	"It hurts doesn't it." Said a voice behind Charizard. Charizard
turned around and sees Amora. "Wha-what?" Said Charizard still crying.
"It hurt doesn't it." Amora repeated herself. "Being ignore by those
who used to care about you." "Not wanting anything to do with you."
"Feeling like a total outcast." Charizard manages to regain itself but
is still in tears. "Yes it does." Said Charizard in sorrow. "Well now
you know how Ash feels." Amora pointed out. "All those times you
ignore him." "Treating him like he doesn't even exist." "And never
ever want anything to do with him."

	Charizard covered it ears and wailed in misery. "Please stop!"
"I can't take this anymore!" "Okay I admit it!" "I'm dirt!" "I'm
scum!" "That kid was the best trainer that I ever had!" "And I threw
it all away for my so-call freedom!" "Is he the best trainer you had?"
Amora asked with one eyebrow raised. "Yes but now it's all gone!"
Answered Charizard with its head hanging low. "Now I have no friends,
no family, no place to stay, and no where to go!" "I wish I never
evolve!" Charizard cried. "Now why is that?" Amora questioned
Charizard with her hand on its wing.

	"Because if I hadn't I would still be with Ash and the rest of
my friends." Then Charizard looked at Amora with its tear filled eyes.
"You can do magic right?" Asked Charizard with its voice still
quivering. "I've been known to dabble in it." Replied Amora. "Do you
think you can send me back to the time before I evolve into
Charmeleon?" "So that way I can prevent it from ever happening."
Charizard gave Amora a crooked smile, but she refuse. "I'm sorry
Charizard, but I can only use magic for creating pokemon and in
battles."

	She said solemnly. "And besides there are some things that can
not be magically away." "So there is nothing I can do?" Said Charizard
sadly. "No there is nothing I can do." "But there are some things you
can do." Amora told Charizard. "But what can I do?" Charizard asked
confusedly. "You have a choice Charizard." Amora pointed out for
Charizard. "Ieither you stay here and torture yourself or you can go
catch up with Ash and tell him how really feel." Charizard looked at
the direction that Ash and the other pokemon had gone.

	Then it looked at Amora and she gave it a small warm smile. Then
it looked back at the direction again. Charizard stared at the
direction for awhile, thinking about what is should do. Till finally a
smile crept on Charizard's face and turned to Amora. "If I go will you
come with me?" Charizard asked nicely. "Why I be most honored." Amora
accepted and Charizard let her climb on its back. Charizard vigorously
flapped its wings and flew up high and headed to the direction that
Ash and the others took. Meanwhile Ash and his pokemon were trying to
find their way out of this dream field.

	"Has anyone seen anything yet?" Pikachu asked. "All I could see
is fog, fog, and more fog." Answered Squirtle with its hand over its
eyes. "I guess Amora had forgotten to give us a map of this place."
Added Bulbasaur. "Right now I just want to find someplace to eat."
Said Snorlax. "I don't think there is a diner anywhere in this place."
Lapras told Snorlax. "Well what do you think we should do Ash?"
Pikachu asked but Ash didn't respond. Then Pikachu saw that Ash had
his head hanging low and his eyes were half closed.

	Ash looked very depress about something. "Ash!" Pikachu called
out to him. "Hey Ash!" Ash quickly snapped out of his trance. "Huh?"
"Oh hey Pikachu." Said Ash quietly. "You okay Buddy?" Squirtle asked
concernedly. "Yeah you looked kinda down on something." Bulbasaur
finish. "Sorry guys." Ash apologized. "I just have a lot of things on
my mind." "Well you can tell us Ash." Said Lapras smiling at him.
"Maybe we can help." Snorlax volunteered. "Just tell us what's been
bothering you." Said Pikachu.

	"Okay." Sighed Ash and took a deep breath. "I think we should go
back and look for Charizard." All of the pokemon were in complete
shock. "I think this place is getting to him." Whispered Squirtle.
"Are you crazy Ash?" Said Bulbasaur still in shock. "No I'm serious."
Replied Ash. "This whole Dream Speak idea was suppose to help
Charizard to be more cooperative." "But Ash we all decided to take
Charizard out of the team." "Even you voted for it." Pikachu reminded
Ash. "I know that Pikachu." Replied Ash. "But I also remember about
how you told Charizard the time we all saved its life when it was
Charmander."

	"What does that have to do with it?" Squirtle questioned.
"Don't you guys see?" Ash rebutled. "Were doing the same thing that
Damien did." "What does that suppose to mean Ash?" Asked Snorlax
trying to figure out what Ash is talking about. "Damien abandoned
Charmander because he thought it was too weak." Ash reminded his
pokemon. "Now we're abandoning Charizard because it's too strong." Ash
made a slight turn back to the direction that they had come from.

	"You guys can do what ever you want but I'm going back to find
Charizard." He told his pokemon. "If I'm not back in thirty minutes,
send out for Amora." "Maybe she knows what to do." "She already did
Ash." Said a familiar coarse voice. They all looked up and see
Charizard and Amora flying towards them. "Is that Charizard letting
Amora riding on its back?" Bulbasaur asked still surprised. "Why yes I
think it is." Lapras responded. "But how did Charizard let her get on
board?" Said Squirtle looking a bit confuse. "The real question is how
did Amora get here?" Added Pikachu. Charizard landed in front of Ash
and Amora jumped off.

	"What do you think you're doing here Charizard?" Squirtle asked
while narrowing its eyes and raising its fist at Charizard. "Yeah I
thought we gotten rid of you." Razzed Bulbasaur. That remark hurt
Charizard. "Easy guys." Ash calmed them down. "Please lets not jump to
any conclusions." Amora announced. "If you give Charizard a chance to
speak then all will be reveal." Amora then turned to Charizard. "Is
there is something you like to say to Ash?" She asked with her warm
smile. Charizard nodded and face Ash.

	"Ash." Said Charizard with its head lowered hands behind its
back, and shuffling its feet on the ground but kept its eyes on Ash.
"I...just wanted to say...wha-what I mean is...that is...I-I-I
think...I think you're the greatest trainer that any pokemon could
ever have." Charizard finally said it. Ash and the rest of the pokemon
were taken back by all this. "Is this the same Charizard that they
left behind?" They asked themselves. "Uh Amora." "Did you put
Charizard under some kind of spell?" Squirtle asked thinking that this
is all an act.

	"No of course not." Amora reassured Squirtle. "A true pokemon
enchantress will never force spell on a living being." "Charizard
wanted to do this on its own free will." Charizard continue to speak.
"Anyway, I was being a real jerk since I evolution Ash." "I thought
since a pokemon evolves, it doesn't have to take orders." "But I was
wrong." Tears were starting to come down from Charizard's eyes. "I
didn't mean to hurt you Ash." "I didn't mean to hurt anyone."

	"Joining up with you Ash was the greatest thing that ever happen
to me." Said Charizard choking with each word. Ash and the other
pokemon were being moved by each word that Charizard spoke. "You took
me in when nobody did." "You save me from dying even though I didn't
ask you to." "What am I saying is I-I-I love you Ash and I'm sorry for
treating you the way I did!" Charizard apologized with a cry. Everyone
can not believe what he or she just heard. "Could Charizard finally be
admitting that is wrong?" they asked themselves again. Charizard took
Ash's hands and hold them close to it.

	"Please Ash." Begged Charizard with teary eyes and quivering
voice. "Please say that you will have me back?" "I promise for now on
I will never ignore you ever again." Ash looked into Charizard big sad
eyes to see if it's telling the truth. Then Ash looked at the rest of
his pokemon. "Well guys what do you think?" Ash asked his pokemon.
"Should we let Charizard back in the team?" The pokemon are thinking
this thing over. "Well I don't know Ash." Said Squirtle still not
sure. "Yeah what if Charizard only said those things just to get back
in." Added Bulbasaur still a bit suspicious.

	"I meant every word I said." Charizard reassured them. "Well we
know that your word is true." Started Lapras. "But how do we know that
your motives are." Finished Snorlax. "I can assure you all that
Charizard has already learned from its mistakes and is willing to make
amends." Amora told them. "Well what do you think Pikachu?" Ash asked.
Pikachu looked at Ash and Charizard. Then it looked at the other
pokemon. Then it looked at Amora. "I don't know Ash." Replied Pikachu.

	"This is your decision." "Please take me back you guys?" Said
Charizard. "I have already learned my lesson and all I want is a
second chance." "It's all up to you Ash." Said Amora. Ash looked at
Charizard's face. It looked like it really wants to be back. Ash kept
on looking and thinking what will he do. Charizard's eyes looked
really sincere. Ash finally realized that Charizard is telling the
truth and smiled. "Welcome back Charizard!" Said Ash with tears in his
eyes and gave Charizard a great big hug. Charizard was very happy and
hugged Ash back with tears flowing from its eyes and a crooked smile.

	"Oh this all to beautiful." Said Pikachu crying and run towards
Ash and Charizard and joined in the hug. "I'm sorry Charizard!"
Pikachu apologized tearfully. "I should've never said all those
horrible things at you!" "It's okay Pikachu you right about me."
Charizard forgave Pikachu. "I'm just glad to be back with you guys."
All of the other pokemon just stand there watching this beautiful
moment. "Oh what the heck." Said Squirtle not fighting to keep from
crying. "Welcome Back Big Guy!" "Group Hug!" Shouted Snorlax.

	Soon al the pokemon were welcoming Charizard back with open arms
and joined in the hug as well. "Wonderful." "Now that we settled our
differences and made peace, I think it time for everyone to wake up."
Said Amora as she clapped her hands, the next second everyone in Ash's
group quickly woke up. "Huh?" "Wha-what happen?" Ash asked as he
realized that he is back to reality. "Pika pika."(That's what I want
to know.) Said Pikachu. "Pikachu?" "You're talking in pokemon talk
again." Ash noticed.

	"But how is that..." A familiar voice interrupted Ash. "You had
just came back from the 'Dream Speak' Ash." Amora responded. Ash
turned around and looked to see Amora standing behind him. "You mean
that was it?" Ash question again. "It looked and felt so real."
"Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Lapras, Snorlax, and Charizard were all
talking." "I mean really talking." "But of course they talk, they
always been talking." Said Amora. "The Dream Speak was able to make
you understand your pokemon."

	"It does?" "But how is that possible?" Said Ash still trying to
understand what this is all means. "The key is to listen with your
heart." Amora clarified while pointing at his heart. "Listen with my
heart." Repeated Ash. "Yeah I think I got that part. "But how is that
you enter my dream?" "When I saw Charizard in pain. I realized that is
suffering from a broken heart when all of you trying to leave." Amora
pointed out. Ash felt bad about that. "Oh yeah, I didn't wanted to
happen." Said Ash with the look of guilt on his face. "I know."
Replied Amora smiling at Ash to show him that she knows that he didn't
mean to.

	"So I have to stepped in to help you set things right. Ash is
now looking at Charizard who is still a bit surprised. "Do you think
the Dream Speak really work." He asked Amora. "Why don't you see it
for yourself." Replied Amora. "Don't worry Ash, your pokemon can still
be able to understand what you're saying." "They always have and
always will." "Well okay." Said Ash nervously ash he got up and walked
to Charizard. "Charizard?" Ash called. "Char?"(Yeah?) Charizard
responded as it looked at Ash with a confused face.

	"Did you remember anything that we talked about in the Dream
Speak?" He asked Charizard. Charizard kept on looking at him, but not
with his usual 'I-don't-care' look. It was simply a blank stare. All
of the other pokemon just looked at the two of them. Waiting for
something to happen. "Will Charizard remember or will it become the
old Charizard?" They asked themselves in thought. "I guess it was just
a dream." Sighed Ash hanging his head low as though he's been defeated
in a battle. Then Ash now sees a hand on his shoulder.

	He looked up and sees that it was Charizard's hand. Charizard
was looking at Ash with big glimmering eyes and a huge smile on its
face. "Then you do remember!" Ash yelled happily with the same look
that Charizard has. "Char char!"(Of course I have Ash!) Said Charizard
while nodding its head. "Char char charizard za!"(Who could've forget
a best friend like you!)  "I love you Charizard." Ash announced as he
hugged Charizard. "Char char char!"(I love you too Ash!) Charizard
told Ash, hugging back.

	"Pika Pika Pi Cha!" (Hurray Charizard is our friend again!)
Pikachu cheered. "Squirtle!"(Group Hug Again!) Squirtle called out and
all of Ash's pokemon gather around Ash and Charizard and performed the
same group hug that they did in the Dream Speak. "This is the part
that I love the most." Said Amora as she is looking at Ash and his
pokemon becoming one big happy family. "I better go see how the other
two groups are doing." Amora turned around and left. Meanwhile Misty
enters into the same place that Ash was in.

	"Hello is anybody here?" Misty tries to call somebody. "Can
somebody please tell where I am?" "Where is everybody?" "Mommy?" Said
a high-pitch voice. "Who said that?" Said Misty a bit startled. "I did
Mommy." The voice answered again. "Where are you?" "Why did that voice
sounded so familiar to me?" Misty asked herself. Then she sees a
figure in the foggy background. Misty seemed to recognize the figure.
It looked like an egg with a funny haircut with flipper arms and small
feet. The figure finally came into view and it turned out to be
Togepi.

	"Togepi!" Misty squealed in delight. "Oh I'm so glad that you
are here!" "Mommy!" Cried Togepi happily and ran towards her and
hugged her. Misty was taken by surprised when she actually heard
Togepi calling her Mommy. "Togepi." Said Misty still amazed.
"You-you-you can talk!" "But I always talk Mommy." Said Togepi looking
up at her. "Well yes but this is the first time that I'm actually hear
you talking." Replied Misty. "Is that bad?" Togepi asked with those
little sad eyes. "Oh no I think it's wonderful." Misty reassured
Togepi with a smile.

	"Just think of all the things we can talk about." "Goody!"
Togepi cheered gleefully. "So what do you want to talk about Mommy?"
"If it's about the Birds and the Bees, you're going to need help for
that." Responded a new voice. This one though sounded kind of raspy.
Misty and Togepi tried to whom that voice belongs to. "Who said that?"
Said Misty trying to recognize that voice. "Aw come on don't tell me
you don't know a great 'star' when you hear it." Said the voice again.
Then Misty and Togepi see a star shaped figure in the fog.

	Both of them recognized it right away. "Staryu!" They both
gladly shouted as Staryu came into view. "You got it!" said Staryu
proudly as it walked up to Misty and Togepi. "Oh wow you can talk
too!" Said Misty with her usual big starry eyes. "Of course I can talk
Misty." Replied Staryu. "I've been talking to you since you were a
little sensational sister." "This is the first time you can understand
us pokemon." "But how do you talk without mouth?" Togepi asked.

	"Don't know kiddo." "Maybe it some sort of magic thing." Staryu
answered the best it could. "Oh I don't care how you able to talk."
Said Misty with her sweet smile. "I just think that this is the most
incredible thing that has ever happen." "Hey what about me?" Said
another new voice. This time it was very feminine. "Could it be?"
Misty asked herself trying to identify the voice. Then she and her
pokemon see a fish with a horn flying that looks like its flying.
"Goldeen!" They shouted happily. "Neat, you're a flying fish." Said
Staryu jokingly. "Very cute Staryu." Smirked Goldeen. "Oh cool even
Goldeen can talk." Said Misty excitedly.

	"That is right Misty." Replied Amora who appeared out of
nowhere. "Amora?" startled Misty. "How did you get here?" "I'm in
meditation right now so I can get in." Answered Amora. "This is the
Dream Speak." "In here you and your pokemon can be able to communicate
with each other." "All you have to do is to listen with your heart."
"This is so amazing Amora." Misty complimented. "Is this what you do
with your pokemon." "But of course." Amora answered politely. "Dream
Speaking is usually part of our training."

	"Wow!" "Thank you for teaching us this." Said Misty. "It's my
pleasure Dear." Responded Amora while petting some of Misty's pokemon.
"I do so enjoy teaching people who can keep secrets." "Now then I see
that you have your pokemon." "But wait, are we missing somebody?"
Amora pointed out. "Don't worry about me." Said a new voice. "Nobody
ever does." This one sounded like quacking. Everybody figured it who
it was. "Psyduck." They all said it together as Psyduck came into
view. "I'm late again aren't I." Said Psyduck holding its head.

	"No you are just in time." Replied Amora with her smile. "That's
right because I've been meaning to talk to you for a long time." Said
Misty with a straight face. Misty got up and walked towards Psyduck
and Amora and the pokemon follow her. Misty stopped in front of
Psyduck and it looked up at her face to face. "Okay Psyduck." "I'm
going to ask you this question once and I want a simple and straight
answer from you." "No silly stuff and no running around in panic
saying psy yi yi yi."

	"Just a simple, straight forward, honest answer." "Got it?"
Misty confirmed with a firm voice. "Okay." Accepted Psyduck. "Why do
you keep coming out of your pokeball every time I call for my other
pokemon?" Misty asked formally. "I want to evolve." Psyduck answered
forwardly. Everyone, even Misty, were amazed when Psyduck actually
answered. They were for sure thought that it was going to stand there
and stare at her. "What?" Said Misty still a bit stunned. "I want to
evolve." Repeated Psyduck. "We heard you the first time." Said Staryu.

	"Hush Staryu." Goldeen quieted Staryu. "Why do you want to
evolve so badly Psyduck?" It was Amora's turn to ask. "Look at me."
Replied Psyduck. "I'm ugly." "Nobody likes me because I'm not very
good to look at." Psyduck shed a few tears. "But Golducks are very
good looking and are much better fighters and swimmers." "Everybody
loves a Golduck, so I thought if I got into enough battles I will
finally evolve into Golduck and then I will finally get rid of this
awful headache." "Oh Psyduck." Said Misty with tears in her eyes.

	"I had no idea you feel this way." "Why didn't you tell me all
of this before?" "I have, lots of times." Said Psyduck. "You just
didn't listen." "Well it's hard to understand you when you're running
around in complete panic." Misty pointed out. "I didn't mean to."
Replied Psyduck. "My head can't take so much excitement." "That's why
I get so many headaches." "But sometimes your headache is what gives
you your psychic powers." Misty told Psyduck. "I know, that's my
problem." Said Psyduck. "What is?" Questioned Misty.

	"My last trainer never taught me any simple attacks like scratch
and tackle." Psyduck confess. "He only wanted me for my psychic
attacks." "What he didn't know that in order for those attacks to
work, my headache has to intensify." "So I just stood there like a
complete numbskull." "My old trainer got so mad that he threw me in a
lake and I almost drown." "That is until one of the Jennys and her
unit rescued me and place me in the Celedon Pokemon Center." "They
arrested the trainer for pokemon abuse and took away his license
forever."

	Psyduck kept on pouring its heart out to this whole ordeal. "He
never loved me, he never even taught me how to swim." More tears
started to flow from Psyducks eyes. "When I first saw you Misty, I
thought that you were different than my last trainer. "Psyduck sadly
turned its head from Misty's eyes. "But I guess I was wrong." Misty
was shock when Psyduck said that. She turned to her other pokemon for
support but they just look at the ground in shame. Except for Togepi
who just looked at Misty.

	"Mommy, why do you hate Psyduck?" Togepi asked with its big sad
eyes. That question strucked Misty like a silver bullet through the
heart. How could she call herself a water pokemon trainer if she
couldn't love the one water pokemon that needed her help the most.
Tears of guilt flow from her eyes. "I don't hate you Psyduck." She
said with a quivering voice. "You don't?" Psyduck questioned her
methods. "I never did said that I hate you." Misty responded. "I just
didn't know better." "How horrible the way of your old trainer for the
way he was treating you."

	"Now I'm doing the same thing to you." "I'm so sorry Psyduck."
She apologized with a cry. Amora now walks up to Misty and Psyduck.
"I think I know what Psyduck's true dilemma is." She said with
concern. "You do Amora?" Misty asked while drying her tears and both
she and Psyduck looked up at her. "Yes Misty, it is clear that Psyduck
is suffering from low-self-esteem." Amora diagnosed. She lowered
herself to Psyduck's level and petted it on its head. "Psyduck
believes that nobody will ever love it because it is not perfect."

	"So if Psyduck ever does evolve, it will believe that people
will finally accept it." "This kind of problem affects both pokemon
and humans all alike." Both Misty and Psyduck let all of this sink in.
They look at each other and then look back at Amora. "Psyduck, you
don't have keep making yourself evolve in such a hurry." Amora told
Psyduck with her warm smile. But how am I suppose to get people to
like me." Said Psyduck. "The best way to get people to get people to
like is that you have to like yourself." Amora acknowledge.

	"Now you must have some good qualities." "But the only things
that are good about me are my powers." Replied Psyduck. "And they
don't work unless my headache grows worst." "Oh come on now, there's
must be more to you than that." Amora pointed out. "Well Psyduck is
always good for a laugh." Staryu joked. Then Goldeen swatted the back
of Staryu's head with its tail. "That wasn't very nice Staryu."
Goldeen scowled. "Well Misty can you think of something?" asked Amora.
Misty is trying so hard to think anything good about Psyduck.

	Psyduck look at Misty with a little hint of hope in its eyes.
"Well I guess what ever Psyduck lacks with brains, it makes up for it
with heart." Misty gave the best answer that she could think of. "Well
there you go then." Amora complimented "You mean that was it?" Said
Misty trying to figure all of this. "But don't you understand Misty?"
Amora confirmed Misty. "That was the first nicest thing you said about
Psyduck since you got it." Misty believes what Amora is telling her.
"Psyduck needs to hear nice saying like that so it will know that it
is being loved." Amora implied.

	"Now I understand everything." Said Misty with a smile and then
she looks at Psyduck. "Psyduck, for now on things will be different
between us." She told Psyduck as she gently holds Psyducks right side
of its face. "It will?" Asked Psyduck with quivering eyes and a
crooked smile. "Yes." Misty replied, looking into Psyducks eyes. "I
promise that I will give you the same amount of love and respect and
attention as all of my pokemon had that you deserve." "Really?" Said
Psyduck as it took hold of Misty's hand that is holding it right side
of its face.

	"Of course." Said Misty with her warm soothing voice. "Will you
teach me how to swim?" Psyduck asked hopefully. "As a water pokemon
trainer, you have my word." Misty promised and they sealed the deal
with a hug. "I love you Misty!" Said Psyduck. "I love you too
Psyduck!" Added Misty. "Yay, now Mommy and Psyduck love each other!"
Cheered Togepi as it run towards Misty and Psyduck to join in the hug.
"Oh this is so beautiful!" "Group hug!" Staryu shouted and it and
Goldeen join in as well. Amora picked herself up and straighten her
gown.

	"Well I'm very proud of all you." She praised the group. "You
have managed to straighten things out and understand each other."
"Thank you so much Amora." Said Misty. "Oh it's pleasure to help you
Misty." Replied Amora. "Now I think it's time for all of you to wake
up." Amora clapped her hands and Misty and her pokemon woke up in the
real world. "Hmm huh?" "What just happen?" Misty asked, still a bit
startled from waking up. "It's alright Misty you just came back from
the Dream Speak." Amora comforted Misty.

	"Hiya!"(Man what a rush!) Said Staryu, recovering. "Goldeen
goldeen goldeen."(What an experience.) Replied Goldeen. "Psy yi yi."
(Ooh my head.) Complained Psyduck while holding its head. "Pree togi
togi."(That was fun) Added Togepi happily. "I believe you are right
Amora." "All of my pokemon are talking in pokemon talk again." Said
Misty still getting over her shock. "But it felt so real." "Yes the
Dream Speak can have that effect on people." Acknowledge Amora. "But
do not worry my dear, your pokemon can still understand what you are
saying."

	Misty now sees Psyduck holding its head. "Do you think it worked
Amora?" She had to ask just to make sure that it was worth it. "Why
don't you go see for yourself." Said Amora giving Misty an encouraging
smile. "Okay here it goes." Replied Misty as she turned towards
Psyduck. "Psyduck." Said Misty, quietly but sweetly. "Psy?"(Yes?)
Replied Psyduck facing Misty. "I'm not sure if you can remember
anything that we talk about." "But I just want to let you know that no
matter what happens or what you do, and I don't if you are not the
most perfect pokemon, you are the nicest and the sweetest pokemon that
I ever have."

	Tears came down Misty's face. "And I love you." Psyduck smiled
at her with tears in its eyes and they gave each other the biggest hug
they ever had. "Psy yi yi."(I love you too Misty.) "Hiyaa!"(Group
hug!) Staryu shouted and all of Misty's pokemon joined in the hug.
"Another successful student." Sighed Amora with her loving smile. "Now
on to the next group." She turned and left another heartfelt moment.
At that time, Brock had already entered the dimension that Ash and
Misty were in. "Man look at this place." Said Brock to himself.

	"There's nothing in here but fog." "Hello!" "Can anyone hear
me?" He shouted. "We can hear you Brock." Answered a gruffly voice.
"Who said that?" Brock questioned the voice. "It's us Brock."
Responded another voice. This one however sounded like a roar. "Yeah
don't you recognized our voices?" Replied a third voice. This one
sounded like screeching. "How can I recognize you if I never heard of
you before." Said Brock trying to figure all of this out. "Maybe if
you see us you will be able to know." Added the fourth and final
voice.

	It sounded light and feminine. Then Brock see some shadowy
figures in the fog. He wasn't sure but for some reason they seemed
familiar to him. Finally the figures came into view. They were his
pokemon. "Onix!" "Geodude!" "Zubat!" "Vulpix!" Brock gladly shouted.
"Boy am I glad to see you guys." "And were glad to see you too Brock."
Said Vulpix with the light feminine voice. Brock was in complete awe
when he heard Vulpix speak. "Vulpix?" "You can talk?" said Brock still
astonish.

	"What's the matter Brock?" "You never seen a talking pokemon
before?" said Geodude with the gruffly voice. "Yeah but the only
talking pokemon I know is Meowth from Team Rocket." Replied Brock who
was simply amazed after hearing Geodude talk. "All pokemon can talk
Brock." Said Onix with the roary voice. "Meowth was just an
exception." Finished Zubat with the screechy voice. "This is
incredible you guys." Said Brock excitedly. "Think of all the
conversations we can have!" "This will definitely help me become the
world greatest pokemon breeder."

	"Well Brock what do you want to talk about?" Asked Geodude.
"Gosh I-I don't know." Replied Brock. "There's so many questions I
want to ask you guys, I don't know where to begin first." "Well Brock
there is this one question we've been meaning to ask you." Said Vulpix
looking up at Brock. "Well sure ask me anything." Replied Brock while
scratching his head. "Okay." Responded Vulpix. "Why do you keep
falling in love with every pretty girl you meet?" Brock fell flat on
his back when Vulpix asked him that question.

	Then Brock made a quick recovery and sit up straight. "Well
heh-heh that is a very good question." Brock laughed nervously. "But
do you have a very good answer?" Asked Geodude. Brock can clearly see
that there is no way of avoiding the question so he had no choice but
to tell the truth. "Okay I might as well tell you." Sighed Brock. "I
guess is it because I hardly go out very often. "Ever since my mother
died I was left to take care all of my brothers and sisters." "I could
never leave them, they were the only family I have."

	"Then one day, Ash came into the gym to challenge me for the
boulder badge." I remember that day." Said Onix. "He and Pikachu
figured out that rock pokemon are weak against water." "Yes that is
true Onix." Praised Brock. "When I was about to give Ash the boulder
badge, out of nowhere my father, who I haven't seen since he left to
become a pokemon trainer, tell me that I should join Ash on his
journey and said that he will take care of the family." "I guess he
wanted to make up all of those times he wasn't there for us."

	"But Brock what does that have to do with you falling for every
pretty face?" Zubat questioned. "Hang on I'm getting to that." Replied
Brock. "When I left the gym I have the chance to visit new places and
meet new people." I guess that's when I started falling with every
pretty girl I meet." Brock humbling chuckle. But the smile on his face
turned into a small sad frown. "But my only problem is, none of the
girls feel the same way about me." Said Brock with a sad sigh. "I
don't know what's wrong with me." "I'm a good person, I care about a
lot of things, I like to cook and clean, and I love to have a family
of my own someday."

	"Why do girls hate me?!" Brock cried out and begins to sob. All
of Brock's pokemon looked at each other to see who will speak next.
Then Vulpix went up to Brock. "I don't think girls hate you Brock."
Said Vulpix with a comforting tone of voice. "You don't." Brock
replied, drying up his tears. "No, maybe your problem is that you
appear a bit too forward." Vulpix acknowledge. "What do you mean."
Brock questioned Vulpix. "I mean maybe you should slow down a bit, try
to get know each other." Vulpix confirmed.

	"Let her see the real you." Brock understands what Vulpix meant.
He has been to forward with girls. "You're right Vulpix." Said Brock
with a smile and he picked up Vulpix and himself up. "For now on I'm
going to take things slowly." "Take it one step at a time." "That the
way Brock!" said Geodude. "Yeah learn to take it easy." Added Onix.
"Don't worry Brock, you'll find the right girl who will like for who
you are." Zubat reassured. "Thank, you guys are the best!" Praised
Brock and hugged Vulpix. "Group hug!" shouted Geodude and they all
joined in the hug.

	Unknown to them, Amora was standing in the foggy background and
has been watching the whole scene without being notice. "Well I guess
they didn't need my services after all." Said Amora with a smile.
"Brock now knows that there are some things that takes time." "And now
it is time for everyone to wake up." Amora clapped her hand and Brock
and his pokemon woke up in the real world. "Whoa!" "What happen!" Said
Brock now awake. "Relax, you've just returned from the Dream Speak."
Amora reassured Brock.

	"You mean that what it was?" Brock asked. "But of course, you
see Brock, the Dream Speak allows you to communicate with your pokemon
by listening with your heart." Amora informed. "That has got to be the
amazing experience that I ever had." Brock complimented. Then he
turned to his pokemon. "How did you guys feel?" He asked his pokemon.
"Geo geo."(Weird.) Said Geodude. "Roar."(Different.) Replied Onix.
"Screech."(I feel so light.) Responded Zubat. "Vulpix."(I am now at
peace.) Added Vulpix. "Heh-heh, I guess you guys can only talk in the
Dream Speak." Said Brock as he petted Vulpix.

	"Do not worry Brock, as I told Ash and Misty, your pokemon can
still and will always understand you." Amora comforted Brock. Brock
looked at Amora and smiled "Thank you Amora, I don't know how am I
going to repay you, but I will someday." Said Brock like a gentleman.
"Your kindness and appreciation are payment enough." Replied Amora as
she kissed Brock on the forehead, which caused him to blush bright
red. "Now then it's time to wake up my pokemon." Amora left a baffled
Brock to regain himself and went over to her pokemon.

	There, in front of the center of the three groups sits Amora's
pokemon with Panja and Juliana on the right, and Romayo and Calcoona
on the left. Amora steps in between Juliana and Romayo and turned to
the three groups. "All right my children, it is now time to wake up."
She said as she clapped her hands and her pokemon quickly woke up.
"Panja." "Juu." "Raa." "Cal." They all said in unison as they stretch
and yawn and shook themselves up a bit. "Now that we're all return
from the Dream Speak, it is my greatest pleasure to say how proud I am
of all you." Complimented Amora.

	"Each of you have learned something new about your pokemon and
about yourselves." "Some of you have learned to forgive," She looks
over at Ash and his pokemon. "Some of you have learned to accept,"
Then she turns to Misty and her pokemon. "And some of you have learn
to take things slowly." And now she turns to Brock who had seemed to
recover from her kiss. "With your new realization and confidence, I
truly believe that you can be whatever you have dreamed of wit no
trouble."

	"Trouble?" Said a familiar cackling female voice. "Make it
double." Replied an all too familiar male voice. "Oh no." Said Ash.
"Please don't let it be..." Begged Misty. "Who we think it is." Added
Brock. Suddenly two familiar figures appear in the trees, followed by
two spotlights to reveal who they are. It was Team Rocket. "To protect
the world from devastation." Said Jessie with her usual wicked smile.
"To unite all people with in our nation." Added James with his famous
rose. "To denounce the evils of truth and love." Jessie. "To extend
our reach to the starts above."

	James. "Jessie!" Jessie. "James!" James. "Team Rocket blast off
to the speed of light." Jessie. "Surrender now or prepare to fight."
James. "Meowth! That's right!" Meowth finished with his famous flips.
"What is the meaning of this intrusion!" Amora demanded. "Nothing
much, we just heard about a mysterious pokemon trainer that has one of
a kind pokemon." Jessie responded with her mock attitude. "And since
you seemed to fit that description then the stories must be true."
Said James. "Do you guys think we bought that?" Ash shouted.

	"Yeah you must've followed us here!" Yelled Misty. "Just what
are you three up to anyway?!" hollered Brock. "Ah you know the usual."
Said Meowth with his catty personality. "Collecting rare and valuable
pokemon." And since you new friend has those kind of pokemon that we
never even heard of." Started Jessie. "Then they have to be extremely
rare and valuable." Added James. "So if you don't mind we like to get
down to business." Finished Meowth. "Go get 'em guys." He ordered as
Jessie and James jumped into opposite directions.

	Both of them brought out their net releasing bazookas and
letting out two nets. Jessie's net caught Panja and Juliana and James'
net caught Romayo and Calcoona. "How dare you entrap my children!"
Said Amora, gathering much anger. Our heroes have never seen Amora get
mad before. But Team Rocket didn't take her seriously. "Don't worry
Lady, we wouldn't even dream of separating a mutha and kid." Said
Meowth as he brought out a rope gun and shoots a long rope, wrapping
itself around Amora. "Aaah!" Shriek Amora as Meowth reeled her in.

	"This time you guys have gone too far!" Hollered Ash. "You let
go of Amora and her pokemon this minute!" Demanded Brock. "This is too
low even for you!" Screamed Misty. "You have to start from the
bottom..." Started Jessie. "To reach the top." James finished and both
of them laughed fiendishly as they try to escape with Amora and her
pokemon, but unfortunately the nets were a bit heavy to carry, so they
have to drag them. "Okay Team Rocket, you ask for it." Said Ash with
determination.

	"Charizard, block Team Rockets way out of here!" Ash told
Charizard. "Charizard!"(Got it Ash!) Replied Charizard as it took off.
Team Rocket thought they would have an easy getaway since they knew
that Charizard hardly ever listens to Ash, but they were wrong.
Standing right in front of them was Charizard with a mean look in its
eye and blowing puffs of smoke from its nose. Team Rocket just stood
there with their knees shaking in fear. "What is the big idea!?"
Shouted Jessie.

	"This thing never listen to you before!" Added James with a
mixture of yell and whine. "Charizard and I came to a new
understanding." Replied Ash while Misty and Brock help Amora getting
out of the rope. "We both realized that we need each other to get
through anything." Charizard nodded in agreement. "The boy speaks the
truth." Said Amora who is now free from the rope. "I was the one who
help them see that." "But how is dat possible?" Meowth questioned.
"Oh it was quite simple really." "All they have to do is talk." Amora
answered with a smirk.

	"Huh?" "You mean they actually talk to each other?" Said James
with a confused perplex look. "I thought I was the only talking
pokemon." Added Meowth with the same look. "I taught these young ones
a special technique that allows them to communicate with their
pokemon." Amora informed "But that's only because they are worthy to
help with." "You three, on the other hand, are not worthy!" "Ha!" "It
doesn't matter what you think!" Said Jessie with a spiteful voice.
"At least we still have your pokemon!" Replied James.

	"And once we show these to the Boss, he'll give us big rewards!"
Finished Meowth. "That's what you think." Said Amora. "Panja!" "Razor
Slash Attack!" She commanded and Panja slashed open the net with its
massive claws. "Aiiee!" Jessie shrieks in panic. Panja and Juliana are
now free from the net. "Panja!" "Jewel!"(Free at last!) Both Panja and
Juliana said it together. "Now Panja!" "Help free the others!" She
told Panja. "Panja!"(Right Mother!) Replied Panja as it slashes open
the other net and help release Romayo and Calcoona.

	"Eeeooo!" Panic James. "Dats one tough cat I don't want to meet
in a dark alley." Squeak Meowth, shaking nervously. "My children,
return to me!" Amora called and her pokemon went back to her with
Romayo and Calcoona on her left, and Panja and Juliana on her right.
"All right now sister!" "Just who are you and what kind of trainer are
you anyway!" Jessie questioned, seemed to recover from the net escape.
"Very well then, I will tell you who and what I am." Answered Amora
with a sly look on her face.

	"Prepare for salvation!" "This could be your protection!" "To
bring the world a message about pokemon and trainer equality!" "In
just about every community!" "To teach people about honor and love!"
"To help them reach their goals above!" "I am Amora Enchantica!"
"Pokemon Enchantress and a fighter by right!" "Come with me now and
I'll show you the light!" Team Rocket feels completely humiliated when
Amora said her motto. "What's the big idea!?" Yelled Jessie. "Only us
can say a motto." Shouted James. "But we like hers better!" Said Ash.

	"Yeah at least it has more moral value!" added Misty. "That is
true." Replied Amora with her arms across. "And even though I help
good trainers who treat pokemon with love, kindness, and respect." "I
will battle other trainers who use pokemon for evil and/or selfish
purpose!" Amora now has a serious gleam in her eye. "And there's no
way I will let you take my pokemon without a fight!" She raised her
fist in the air. "Hmph!" "Fine then, if it's a battle you want then
let's have one!" Said Jessie with a wicked smile. "Very well then,
we'll start with you!" Amora pointing at Jessie.

	"M-m-me?" replied Jesse sounded a bit nervous but manages to
shrug it off. "Okay then lets get started!" "All right if you say so!"
Responded Amora. She put her hands together and started to mumble some
sort of chant. Ash and his friends and Team Rocket had no idea what
she is doing. But then a swirl of white light surrounded Amora and
lifted her off the ground. Everyone was speechless when they are
seeing the phenomenon, but there is more. After Amora finished
chanting her eyes snapped open.

	"Pokemon Battle Suit Up!" She echoed and the next thing, her
gown absorbed the light and flied open into different directions. The
bottom ends wrapped around her legs, the top ends wrapped around her
arms, and the rest wrapped around her mid section and chest area. At
last the transformation is now complete and Amora came back down to
the ground. She is wearing was once her gown is now a form fitting
full figured long sleeved pant legged black jump suit with knee high
high-heeled boots, black gloves, and her hair is donned up in a long
black pony tail on top of her head.

	Both the friends and enemies were completely astonish when they
witness wha they saw. "Now dat's what I call a costume change." Said
Meowth still stunned. "That is amazing." Whispered Ash. "How did she
do that?" replied Misty. "I thought that kind of transformation only
happens in Sailor Moon cartoons." Added Brock. It is now Amora's turn
to speak. We will have three rounds but with two pokemon." Said Amora
being very serious. "That's ridiculous!" retorted Jessie. "How can you
go three rounds with two pokemon?!"

	"Don't worry you'll find out soon." Replied Amora with a wicked
smirk. "All right we'll do it your way!" Jessie accepted and pulled
out one of her pokeballs. "I choose Lickitung!" she announced as she
threw the pokeball and out came Lickitung. "Licki!"(Here I am!) Said
Lickitung. "Then I choose Romayo!" Amora called out as Romayo flew
right in front of her and face Lickitung. "Ha!" "You don't really
think that you can really win with that flying furball do you?" Jessie
provoked with a mock voice. "Never judge your opponent till after a
battle." Amora advised.

	"But Amora, are you sure it's okay to use Romayo for this
battle?" Misty questioned. "Yeah it just got born." Added Ash. "Maybe
you start off with Panja since it seemed to be the most experienced."
Implied Brock. "Don't worry my friends, when my pokemon were in the
Dream Speak they were actually learning new attacks and improving the
attacks they have already know as well." Amora reassured. "Trust me I
know what I'm doing." "Well for your sake I hope so." Acknowledged
Misty. "Good luck." Ash complimented.

	"Just please be careful." Brock informed. "Hey!" "Are you just
going to stand there and socialize or are we going to battle!" Jessie
shouted impatiently. "We battle now!" replied Amora, narrowing her
eyes at Jessie. "Finally!" "Lickitung!" "Lick Attack!" Jessie command
and Lickitung let out its large tongue. "Romayo!" "Slap Wing!" Amora
told Romayo as it slaps away Lickitung's tongue, giving Lickitung a
large stinging mark. "Licki"(Owie!) cried Lickitung while rubbing its
sore tongue. "How did it do..." Jessie growled.

	There is no time for questions. "Lickitung!" "Use your Body Slam
against that little furball!" "Lickitung!"(Okay!) Lickitung obeyed and
starts charging after Romayo. "Romayo!" "Dodge Ball Attack!" Amora
command and Romayo successfully avoided Lickitung's attack and tackle
it in every single direction. "Grr!" "How can anything that small have
so much fighting power!" Asked Jessie. "Maybe she's been feeding some
sort of vitamin enhanced pokemon food." James answered nervously.
"That was a rhetorical question!" Jessie barked.

	"Lickitung!" "Tongue Wrap that flying pest!" Jessie ordered.
Lickitung tried to capture Romayo but it was no use. Romayo was too
fast for Lickitung to even lick it. "Romayo, use your Fire Spit!"
Amora told Romayo and it started to spit out little wads of fire at
Lickitung. Lickitung tried desperately to defend itself from Romayo's
Fire Spit. "What's the matter with you Lickitung!" Jessie shouted
furiously. "Don't let that little pipsqueak make a fool of you!"

	"Licki lickitung lick li!"(I'm sorry master but this guy is too
much for me!) Whined Lickitung while still trying to fend off the wads
of fire spit. "Now then Romayo!" "Finish it off with Chipper Pecker
Attack!" Amora ordered and Romayo rapidly peck at Lickitung's head.
"Li li li li li li li li li!"(Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow!) Lickitung
cried as Romayo continue to peck. Then seconds later, Lickitung
severely fainted on the ground with an extremely large lump on its
head. Romayo has won the first round. Ash and his friends cheered for
Amora and Romayo's victory and Jessie seems to be very irritated.

	"Lickitung!" "Return!" Said Jessie as the pokeball pulled
Lickitung back in. "So what do you think of my little Romayo now?"
Amora asked Jessie with a smart alec smirk. Romayo went back to the
left side of Amora. "Ha!" "That was a lucky shot!" Jessie retorted.
"Now you'll have to face my Arbok!" She threw her second pokeball and
Arbok pops out. "Charboka!"(Ready!) Said Arbok. "Very well, I call for
Juliana!" Amora announced as Juliana appeared in front of her, facing
Arbok.

	"Another flying twerp?" "Don't make me laugh!" Mock Jessie with
her wicked smile. "Actually Juliana is part peacock and part
mongoose." Amora informed with the same smile. "And do you know what
a mongoose's favorite food is?" "Uh-oh!" Gulped Jessie. She remembered
that time in Maiden's Peak when Ghastly turned himself into a mongoose
and tried to eat Ekans. But she shook that memory out of her head.
"Enough of this talking!" "Arbok!" "Terror Strike!" She commanded and
Arbok came charging towards Juliana. "Juliana!" "Enlarge to your
opponent's size!"

	Amora told Juliana and it grew itself to exactly Arbok's size.
Arbok stopped itself when it sees Juliana's new height and width and
was a bit afraid of it. "Arbok what are you doing!?" Jessie yelled.
"Are you trying to make me look bad?!" "Char boka charboka char!"
Said Arbok nervously. "Arbok said that there is no way that it's going
to fight something that is bigger than me." Meowth translated.
"What!?" "You oversized worm!" Jessie hollered. "Don't you know that
size doesn't matter!" "Just use your Bite attack and get it over
with!"

	"Charboka!"(Okay!) Replied Arbok as it attempts to bite Juliana.
"Juliana!" "Fan Tail Swat!" Commanded Amora and Julian swat Arbok on
the head with its fantail. "Char."(Owe.) Said Arbok in a dazed from
Juliana's attack. "All right that tears it!" Jessie screamed in
impatience. "Arbok!" "Finish it off with your Wrap!" She ordered
Arbok. "Juliana!" Amora called out. "Time for you to use your Tail
Feather Shoot!" "Juliana!"(Affirmative Mother!) Juliana responded and
successfully avoided Arbok's Wrap attack and flew up high above
ground.

	Returning back to it's normal size, Juliana shoots outs its tail
feathers at Arbok. "Char char char char char char char!"(Ow ow ow ow
ow ow ow!) Cried Arbok a sit being pelted by Juliana's rapid shooting
tail feathers. Finally Arbok fainted on to the ground covered in light
cuts from the feathers. Juliana won round two of the battle. Ash and
his friends cheered for Amora and Juliana. "Arbok returned!" Jessie
growled as her pokeball pulled Arbok back inside. "That's two rounds
we went through!" Amora told Jessie. "Now on to round three.

	"Are you kidding!?" Jessie bellowed. "That's all the pokemon I
have!" "We won't need pokemon for this round." Amora implied. "What's
that suppose to mean?" Jessie asked, but instead of an answer, Amora
raised one hand above her hand and the other hand at Jessie and
shouted "Battle Field Transport!" Then suddenly two holes appear above
their heads. Everyone was awestruck by witnessing this event.
"Wha-what's going on?" Jessie questioned nervously. But before anyone
can think of something, she and Amora were both being pulled into the
holes.

	Amora went in willingly but Jessie seems that she doesn't want
to go. "Don't just stand there you two idiots, get me out of here!"
Jessie cried. "Right!" Replied James. "Comin' Jess!" Added Meowth. But
they were too late to even try to grab Jessie's feet. Seconds later
both she and Amora disappeared into the holes as they quickly closed
up behind them. "What just happen?" Ash asked. "I-I don't know."
Confessed Brock. "One minute they were here and the next they were
gone." Added Misty. "Pika!"(Strange) Said Pikachu.

	"Togepree."(Weird.) Replied Togepi. "Okay you twerps just what
have you done with Jessie!" Meowth accused our heroes. "Yeah you guys
have better have an answer or else there's going really be trouble!"
Added James. "We have nothing to do with this!" Ash replied
annoyingly. "Yeah we're just as in the dark as you two!" Shouted
Misty. "Panja!"(Wait!) Said Panja as it came between the two feuding
teams. "Pan ja panja panja ja pan panja pan." "Meowth can you
understand what this one is saying?" asked James.

	"It says that if everyone would just stay calm then all will be
explain." Meowth translated. "Panja pan ja." Panja told everyone.
"Now it wants us to follow it." Said Meowth and they did as they were
told. The friends and enemies followed Panja to the pool and stop a
few feet from the edge. "Panja."(Stop.) Said as it raised its clawed
hand to stop everyone to go any further. "Panja pa na ja pan." Panja
was pointing at the pool. "Now it wants us to look into the pool."
Meowth told everyone. Nobody knows what this is all means but they
look into the pool anyway.

	"This is ridiculous!" James complained. "We don't have time for
a swim!" "We have to find Jessie!" "Pa na ja panja pan." Panja told
James as it pulled out a small brown leather bag. "It says be patient
little boy blue." Meowth interpreted as Panja pour some silvery sand
from the bag and into the hand and scatters it over the water. "What's
the idea with the..." Misty was about to ask but she got cut off when
the pool begins to glow a white silvery light. When the light dimmed
down to a low an image appear in the water that only our friends and
villains can recognize.

	"It's Amora and Jessie!" Misty gasped as she was pointing in the
pool and looking at them in some strange place that has a background
of a mixture of red and purple fog. "Whoa!" "You're right!" Replied
Brock "But how did they get into the pool?" Asked Ash "Pan panja pa
ja." "Panja said that they are not in the pool but in another
dimension." Meowth explained. "You mean like the Dream Speak?" Misty
inquired. "Panja ja na pa pan panja." "Something like that, except
that is not the realm of dreams." Meowth told everyone.

	"Panja pa." "It's a battle zone!" Meowth yelped in panic "But
how are they going to battle without any pokemon?" James asked.
"Panja pa panja." "It's not that kind of battle." Meowth interpreted.
Everyone seems to be confused by all this. So they decided to continue
to watch the pool. "Wha-where am I?" "What kind of place is this?"
Jessie asked in panic. "This is what I called the Battle Field where I
bring trainers who have evil inside them to challenge." Amora answered
in a serious tone of voice. "To challenge?" Repeated Jessie.

	"But-but...we didn't bring any pokemon and you've beaten the
only two I have!" "Oh I'm sorry, I'm afraid that I forgot to mention
something." Said Amora with a mischievous grin. "What's that?" Asked
Jessie becoming more nervous. "After my pokemon battles with other
trainers' pokemon, I battle trainers!" Amora responded with her icy
electric blue eyes narrowing at Jessie. "Battle trainers?" Echoed
Jessie still a bit confused. Then she realized by what Amora meant.
"You mean you and I as in person vs. Person?" Said Jessie as she
repeatedly pointing herself and Amora.

	"That is correct." Replied Amora, mockingly appraising her.
"Like I said, there's no way that I will let you take my pokemon
without a fight!" Amora went into her fighting stance. "But that is
against the rules!" Jessie protested. "Why do you think I brought you
to this place." Amora confirmed. "In the Battle Field, normal pokemon
rules don't apply here, but don't you think you can use that advantage
for cheating." She crossed her arms. "The Gods don't tolerate with
cheaters." Jessie is still afraid but manage to muster up some
courage.

	"All right sister I accept your challenge!" said Jessie as she
gets into her fighting stance. "I used to get into a lot of fights
before I even have pokemon!" "Then let this battle begin!" Shouted
Amora as she and Jessie both ran towards each other. Jessie try to
give Amora a left hook, but she immediately avoid it and give Jessie a
swift side kick on her right side which send Jessie gliding to the
other side of the field and crashed into an invisible wall. Everyone
was shocked when they say what Amora did to Jessie. "What is going on
in there?" Asked Ash.

	"Panja pan ja na pa panja." Answered Panja. "This is the third
and finale round of the battle." Meowth translated. "You mean they
have to fight each other in this round?" Misty questioned. "Pa na ja
pan panja." Responded Panja. "That is correct." "In our mother's
battles, we fight pokemon and she fights trainers who uses them for
evil and/or selfish purpose." Meowth interpreted. "But won't she get
into trouble with the authorities for this?" said Brock. "Ja na pan."
Replied Panja.

	"Not as long as they stay in the Battle Field." Meowth told
everyone. "Come on Jessie!" "You can beat her!" James cheered as
though she can hear him. Jessie made a quick recovery and manages to
get up. "No fair that was a lucky shot!" She yelled upsettingly. "No
you just left yourself openly." Amora pointed out. "I simply
responded." "Fine if that how you want to play..." Grumbled Jessie.
Then she jumped high in the air with her right foot extended outward
to kick Amora in the face. But with in the last fifteen seconds Amora
grabbed hold of Jessie's foot and spins her around.

	Seconds later Amora tossed Jessie to the other side of the
field. "Ahh!" Jessie screamed in terror as she was flying into another
invisible wall. "Wow she really good." Complimented Misty holding on
to Togepi tightly so it won't fall into the pool. "You're right Misty.
She seems to have a lot of experience for this." Said Brock. "It looks
as though she's been doing this for years." Added Ash. Then he
suddenly realized something. "Guys, I think I figured out what really
happen to Gary." He announced. "What do you mean Ash?" Asked Misty.

	"Remember what Gary said before his pep squad calmed him down?"
Ash reminded them. "Yeah he said something about a mad trainer with
weird pokemon that...fights...like...a demon." Brock responded when he
understands what Ash is saying. "Wait a minute... you're not saying
that..." "I'm afraid so Brock." Said Ash. "And Misty you were right.
Amora is the Mad Trainer." Everyone gasped when Ash said that. "What
are you guys jabbering about?" Meowth asked confusingly. "Just this
afternoon we saw Gary all frighten and banged up." Misty admitted.

	"At first we thought it was the pokemon that did that to him."
Brock mentioned. "But now we believe it wasn't it." Added Ash "What's
that suppose to mean?" James questioned. "Don't you guys get it? It
wasn't Amora's pokemon that defeated Gary! It was Amora!" said Ash as
though he had nailed it. "Are you sure it was her?" Meowth questioning
Ash's motions. "It has to be her." Replied Ash. "Amora is the only
trainer living in the woods with pokemon that no one knew even
existed!" "But I thought Amora said that she only fights trainer who
uses pokemon for evil and/or selfish reasons." Said Misty. "Gary may
not be evil but he always thought that he is better than everyone
else." Ash responded. "Guess we'll have to wait and find out till
Amora and Jessie are finish in round three." Brock told everyone and
went back into looking at the pool. Jessie, who made another recovery
from Amora's attack, looking tired and beaten but not ready to give
up, is getting ready to strike back. "So you want to play rough do
you?" She growled. "Then here come some more." Jessie did her battle
cry and ran into Amora tackling her to the ground.

	Jessie thought she has the upper hand, but she was wrong. Amora,
some how, place her foot on Jessie's stomach and pushed her off.
Flipping Jessie over her and made her crashed into another invisible
wall face first this time. "Ow!" Jessie cried as she slid down on the
wall and fell over with her eyes crossed and looking a little dazed.
"Just five more minutes Mommy?" Said Jessie becoming delusional. She
manages to shake it off and regain her senses. "If you want we can
call this off and save yourself while you still have the ability to
stand." Amora suggested.

	"Never!" Jessie refused, shakenly standing up. "I don't give up
that easily." "I admire your persistence." Amora complimented. "But I
do not wish to keep on fighting." "Then lets end this once and for
all!" Yelled Jessie and charges at Amora again. "They just never
learn." Amora told herself while briefly shaking her head. Just as
Jessie was about to tackle her down again, Amora rapidly grabbed hold
of Jessie wrists stopping her on her tracks. "What do you think you're
doing!?" Jessie demanded try to struggle free from Amora's hold.

	"Ending this once and for all!" Amora responded and flew up high
above the ground with Jessie still in her grasp. "Panja." Quoted
Panja. "What da ya mean 'uh-oh'?" Meowth asked Panja. "Panja pan ja na
pa panja pa." Panja answered. Meowth gasped in horror. "Don't just
stand there Meowth! What does it say!?" James demanded. "Panja say
that Mom is getting ready for one of her powerful attacks." Meowth
translated for everyone. "What kind of an attack?" Misty questioned.

	"Trust me, it would be best if we see for ourselves." Replied
Meowth and they went back looking at the pool. Jessie looked down and
sees how high up they are then quickly shut her eyes. "What are you
doing to me?" She asked fearfully. "I'm sorry my dear." Amora
apologized." I didn't wanted to do this, but you leave me no choice."
She starts spinning Jessie round and around making her screamed in
terror. "Please stop we've been through this already!" Wailed Jessie
as Amora raised her above her head. "Pa panja ja!" Said Panja. "Panja
says this is it!" Interpreted Meowth as everyone anxiously watching
the pool.

	"What kind of attack that she could be using?" Asked Brock.
"Maternal Seismic Toss!" Amora shouted and throw down Jessie directly
into the ground. "AAAAHHHH!!!!" Jessie screamed as her face crashed
into the ground along with the rest of her. Jessie tried to get up but
she was shaking so much that she collapsed back down. "On second
thought I surrender." Jessie confessed and became unconsciousness.
Everyone else was completely stunned when Jessie admit defeat. "Na ja
pan pa panja pan." Panja announced.

	"It's over!" Meowth quoted. "Amora is the winner of this
battle!" "Hooray!" "Yahoo!" "Way To Go Amora!" "Pika! (Yay!)
"Togepree!"(Yippee!) Ash, Brock, Misty, Pikachu, Togepi, the heroes'
pokemon, and Amora's pokemon cheered for Amora's victory. "Why are you
little twerps cheering for her?!" James asked getting irritated.
"Didn't you saw what she has just done to Jessie?!" "Besides didn't
you just said that she could be da Mad Trainer you guys were talking
about?" Meowth question our heroes. "That maybe so, but she did helped
us with our pokemon." Ash replied with a smirk.

	"After all, what kind of friends would we be if we didn't
cheered for her?" Said Misty with the same smirk. "Besides we were
rooting for Amora when this whole thing started." Added Brock. James
and Meowth just stare at them dumbfounded as thought they can't
believe what they heard. "These guys were on her side the whole time."
James and Meowth told each other at the same time. Amora came back
down and went over to Jessie's inanimated body.

	"You maybe a great fighter, but unfortunately you lack of
discipline and respect for other living beings as well as yourself."
Said Amora as she bowed down to Jessie in respect. Jessie groaned a
bit to let Amora know that she was listening. Then Amora grabbed the
scruffs of both of Jessie's black shirt and jacket with one hand and
raised her other hand and shouted "Reality Return!" A hole, which
looks like the ones that brought Amora and Jessie to the Battle Field,
only much bigger, open up above her head and pulled them in. The
image in the pool suddenly disappears and the light faded away.
"Where did they go?" Misty asked confusedly. Then everyone heard a
loud thundering sound.

	At first they all thought it was going to rain, but then they
all turn around and see that same hole that was in the image appear
out of nowhere and out comes Amora still holding a motionless Jessie.
She gently places her on the ground by having her lying on her back.
"Is she..?" Brock asks in concern. "No she is still alive." Amora
reassured which made everyone a little relieved. "But someone needs to
revive her." "Well I guess it should be fair." Ash sighed and called
for Squirtle. "Squirtle squirtle."(Right here Ash.) Said Squirtle.

	"Squirtle, please use your water cannon to revive Jessie?" Ash
asked nicely. "Squirtle squirtle."(Okay if you say so.) Squirtle
responded and shoots out water from its mouth and splashing it at
Jessie. "Ahh! "Who What Where When!" Jessie woke up startled and
screaming. Then she realized that she is now all wet and sees Ash and
his squirtle with big grins on their faces. "Alright now you're really
asking for it!" Jessie yelled furiously as she got up to strike them.
"Enough!" said a thundering voice. Jessie froze in fear, then slowly
turned around and discovered that the voice belonged to Amora.

	"You should be thankful that the boy reawaken you even though
all the trouble you caused him." Amora acknowledged with her arms
cross and narrowing her eyes at Jessie. Jessie has enough sense to
cower and got down her knees to beg for forgiveness. "Please don't
make me go back to that weirdo place!" Whined Jessie. "I couldn't take
it anymore!" "Please have mercy!" James and Meowth have never seen
Jessie act this way before and our heroes knew that Team Rocket will
say anything to get out of trouble, but Amora knew that Jessie is a
coward, yet she sense that she means it.

	So then she decides to be fair to her. "Very well you are free
to go." Amora told Jessie. "But let thee be warn, whatever cruel deed
or misguided fortune that will harm the boy and his friends and/or any
other innocent being you'll come across, it will come back to you
three times fold!" Shivers run down Jessie's spine. Amora continues to
go on. "So as if it is written!" "So as if it says!" "So Mote It Be!"
A loud thundering sound came out of nowhere as Amora said that last
part which cause Jessie to shake and whimper even more.

	"Now Get Out Of My Sight!" She bellowed. Jessie screamed and
ran into the wood, wailing like a banshee. "Now that's what I call a
battle." Ash complimented and his friends nodded in agreement. "One
down two to go." Said Amora as she turned to James and Meowth who are
both shaking in the knees. "Now it's your turn!" She was pointing at
James. But as she is walking towards him, a small flash appeared in
her head and just stop. Her attitude quickly went from vengeful to
bewilderment. "Is it possible?" Amora asked herself in thought.

	Then she went back to her black gown and lightly walked over to
James. James tried to run away but he felt like he is standing in
glue. "Please don't be afraid." "I promise I won't hurt you." Amora
reassured James with her comforting smile, but he still fears her.
When Amora got close enough to James, she gently places her hand on
his cheek and closed her eyes. "What could she possibly be doing?"
Misty asked in puzzlement "I'm not sure really." Brock admitted.
"What ever she is doing, by the expression on James face, he may not
going to like it." Added Ash.

	James has no idea what she is doing to him but he is to terrify
to ask. Yet even know his mind and feet are telling him to "Run!" his
heart says "No wait!" "She maybe the one that can help us." When
Amora's hand on James cheek started to glow in a light blue, images
now appear in her mind. They were blurry but for some reason she knew
what they are. "I don't believe it!" Amora thought to herself. "It's
really him after all this time." Amora's hand stopped glowing as she
removed it from James face and opens her eyes in amazement and sorrow.

	"I-I'm sorry. For I did not know." Amora apologized with a
humble bow. "But you didn't.. That is.. I was just gonna..." James
mumbled nervously. Then he can feel his feet moving again. "Wait for
me Jessie!" He cried as he ran into the woods that Jessie went. "Wait
please!" "Don't go!" "I want to help you!" Amora shouted after him but
he is now already out of range. "I better get out of here before she
decides to battle with me!" Said Meowth as he ran after James. "Looks
like Team Rocket is running off again!" They both shouted as they
disappeared into the woods.

	"Well that was rude of them." Said Misty. "Don't they know
better than to leave in a middle of a battle." Brock informed. "They
didn't have the decency to say goodbye." Added Ash with a smirk. "Oh
that's quite alright. I have no intentions to battle him anyway."
Amora confessed which gave our heroes a puzzled look. "How come
Amora?" Misty asked Amora about her motives. "It's liked I said, I
only battle trainers who uses pokemon for evil and/or selfish
purposes." Answered Amora as she turned to the trainers.

	"But that still doesn't explain why you don't want to battle
James." Ash debated. "It's quite simple really." Amora pointed out.
"He's not evil." Everyone was shocked when Amora said that. "But how
is that possible?" Brock questioned. "He works for Team Rocket, the
most evilest organization of pokemon thieves in the world." "Lots of
people have goodness in them my friends." Replied Amora as she turned
her head to the direction that Team Rocket had fled into. "Some of
them just don't know it." Ash and his friends were letting all of this
sink in. Then Pikachu spotted something over the horizon.

	"Pi pikachu!"(Hey guys look over there) said Pikachu pointing at
the direction. "What's the matter Pikachu?" Asked Ash, then he sees
what Pikachu was looking at. "Look everyone it's morning already!"
Announced Ash. Everyone is now seeing the sun beginning to rise. "Wow
I can't believe we actually stayed up all night for all that just
happened." Said Brock admiring the sunrise. "I have never seen a
sunrise this beautiful before." Misty complimented as she is holding a
now tired Togepi in her arms. Amora is now watching the sunrise,
feeling it's warm golden rays.

	"I guess it's time to call back all of our pokemon." She told
everyone with her warm smile. "They must've tired after all of this."
"I believe you are right Amora." Said Ash as he and his friends pulled
out their pokeballs. "Okay you guys time to go." He called out, but
their pokemon all have sad looks on their faces. "Huh, what's wrong
guys?" Ash asked as they looked over Amora's pokemon. "I guess they
don't want to leave without saying goodbye." Acknowledged Brock.
"That's perfectly understandable." Added Misty.

	"When you made new friends it's hard for you to leave them." All
of their pokemon nodded in agreement. "Well I guess it's okay by us if
it is okay by Amora." Ash concluded. "But of course it is." Amora
responded and called for her pokemon. "Come Children it's time to say
good-bye." All of Amora's pokemon walked over to the three trainers'
pokemon and started saying their good-byes. Calcoona even gave
Charizard a small kiss on the cheek that caused Charizard to blush a
bright pink red and its eyes glazed over.

	After they are finished, Ash and company called back their
pokemon as they re-enter into the pokeballs, except for Pikachu of
course. "My children, return to thy former state." Said Amora and each
of her pokemon were turning back into the diamond-shaped gems that
they had on their foreheads and simply floated back into the small
chest that Amora was holding. "Wow that was cool." Ash complimented.
"Thank you Ash." Amora responded as she closed the chest and gently
placed it next to her on the ground. "It's just a little trick that
they were 'born' with." She smiled brightly.

	"Well I guess we better get back to camp and start packing up."
Brock announced. "Yeah we must get going." Added Misty. "I'm glad that
we met you Amora." "Yeah if it wasn't for you, we wouldn't learned
anything about our pokemon that even they didn't know." Ash backs up.
"Pika pikachu!"(We even learned something new about our trainers!)
Pikachu supported. "Thank you my friends." Amora replied with a humble
bow. "And I'm so happy that I was able to manage to share my secrets
with all of you."

	"Yeah well speaking of secrets..." Said Ash shyly, humbly
removing his cap and scratching his head nervously while cautiously
walking up to Amora. There's something that I wanted to asked you."
What is it Ash?" replied Amora with her sweet smile which is making
even harder for Ash. "Well you see, about this, or shall I say,
yesterday afternoon, my friends and I ran into this boy I knew." "His
name is Gary Oak and he's from Pallet Town too." "I think I'm
beginning to see where this is going." Said Amora with her smile faded
and a light sigh.

	Ash thinks that he must've hurt her feelings. "Oh I'm sorry
Amora." Ash apologized. "I didn't mean to upset you." "Oh no you
haven't." Amora forgave him. "Please continue." "Well it's just
that...we were wondering...that is...did you..." Ash stutter a bit
trying to ask her in a nice way but couldn't figure out how. "Yes
Ash." Amora replied. "Yes?" repeated Ash. "I did battle him." Some how
she knew that was the question he was trying to ask.  "But don't let
that misguide you." "I don't like to battle children but he let have
no choice." Amora reassured him.

	"But I thought you said that only battle trainers who uses
pokemon for evil and/or selfish purpose." Ash reminded himself. "That
is correct and I do." Amora praised Ash. "Are you saying that Gary is
evil?" Asked Ash. "No, but I did sense evil in him." Answered Amora.
"You did?" "Then please tell me, what was Gary's evil?" Ash asked
again. Amora looked at Ash straight in the eye. "His evil is his ego."
Amora confirmed formally. "Always thinking that he is better than
everyone else and never shows any compassion for others."

	"Yeah that sounds like Gary alright." Ash agreed. "Well if
anyone was able to defeat him I'm glad it was you." He smiled and
offers his hand in friendship. "You approve with some of my methods?"
Amora asked with a returning smile and took hold of Ash's hand. "Well
sure." Replied Ash while they shake hands. "Maybe now he'll start
acting less of a braggot and be a little nice to other trainers."
Amora gave Ash a little thank you kiss on the cheek that made him
blush slightly. "Thank you for being understanding." She complimented.

	"Well your welcome." Ash responded still recovering from the
kiss and return to the rest of the group. "And thank you all for
letting me help you with your pokemon." She told Brock and Misty. "Oh
it's no trouble really." Said Misty. "In fact we should be thanking
you." Replied Brock. "If it wasn't for you I would still have trouble
with Charizard." Added Ash now recovered. "And my Psyduck." Misty.
"And I learn to be more patient when I wan to go into a relationship."
Brock. "It does my heart good knowing that I could be in any service."
Amora responded with a respectable bow and Ash and his friends bowed
back. "Well come on everyone it's time to go back." "Good-bye Amora
and thank you for everything." Said Ash as he and the others walked
away and waved good-bye. "Fair thee well my friends." "Till we meet
again." Said Amora as she waved back to our leaving heroes.
"Good-bye." "Hope to see you again soon." "Bye." "Pika!"(Bye-bye.)
Replied Ash and company in unison as they went back into the woods.
Moments later our friends were miraculously back on track to the next
town.

	"Do you think Amora might be right about James having some good
in him?" Misty asked. "Well I don't about him being good." Answered
Brock. "But since she didn't want to battle James like she did with
Jessie and Gary, I guess I have to take her word for it." "Right now I
just hope she doesn't get arrested for her methods." Brock now turns
to Ash. "What do you think Ash?" "Well I don't know when or if society
will ever accept Amora's way of battle, even though it does seem kind
of fair." Responded Ash. "But I do know one particular method that I
will adopt."

	"What is that Ash?" Misty questioned. "Pika?"(What?) Added
Pikachu. "You'll see." Said Ash as he took out his pokeballs and
tossed them in the air and all of his pokemon started popping out.
Pikachu joined in with the rest of the pokemon. "Everyone please
listen up. "I have something important to tell you." Ash told his
pokemon. The pokemon looked up at him. "We have been through a lot
things for all this time." Ash spoke up to his pokemon. "Some were
good and some bad." "But all and all we manage to stick together no
matter what."

	"We became some what of a family." All of Ash's pokemon looked
at each other and looked at Ash. "So as for now on all of you will be
known as my brothers." Ash looked at Lapras who has a perplex look on
it's face. "And sister." Ash smiled and so did Lapras. Ash's other
pokemon looked at him wide eyed and their mouths open. They have never
seen that one coming. "So what do you say guys?" Ash asked with a
hopeful smile. The pokemon exchange looks to see who will say
something first and one did.

	"Squirtle!" (Group Hug!) Shouted Squirtle and they ran towards
Ash to give him the biggest hug he ever had. "That was the most
beautiful thing I have ever heard." Said Brock with streams of tears
running from his eyes. "I hate to admit it but that was the most
mature speech Ash has ever spoken." Replied Misty with a small smile.
Ash and his pokemon laughed happily in their group hug when he decided
to call them family. And so starts a new chapter in our heroes'
journey. Meanwhile in the Team Rocket balloon high in the sky, James
and Meowth were trying to figure out what to do.

	"Do you think we should tell the Boss about this?" James asked.
"What are ya crazy?!" replied Meowth. "What are we going to tell him?"
"That a psychotic trainer who uses weirdo pokemon in the first two
rounds, then in the last round, takes unsuspecting trainers to another
dimension and then beats living stuffing out of them?!" "You're right
he will never buy it." James acknowledged. "We'll worry about it
later." Said Meowth. "Right now what are we going to do about that?"
He ask as he is pointing at the other side of the balloon basket to a
cowering Jessie, shaking in fear and mumbling nonsense like "Demonic
pokemon, mad trainer, what to hurt little Jessie." She said in baby
talk. James and Meowth both sighed pathetically at their fallen
partner and went back to lookout. James should be concern about
Jessie, but when Amora placed her hand on his face, he felt a strange
feeling that was new yet familiar to him. Like some how she once knew
him before. "I'm still wondering why she didn't want to battle me?"
He asked himself as he put his hand on his cheek that Amora touch.

pool and looking at the sky. "Grandmother." "Grandfather." "Great
Ancestors." "Please forgive me for not telling the children the whole

hair boy really is?" "The real question is, does he know who he really
is?" Amora let out a small tear from her right eye and it landed in
the pool, causing it to ripple. What does she know about James that
nobody else, even he knows? Does Amora really believe about who James
really is? And if so, how did she know him when they have never really
met before?
