A Wonderful Journey

Small A.N.: Some dialogue might not be as accurate, mostly Meowth, since I had a hard time understanding what he say and I didn't have subtitles to help me.

Hope you enjoy!

On their way to Jubilife City, the gang were making their way down Route 202, until they encounter Team Rocket. They once again snatched Pikachu from Ash and are making a flight for it.

"Them again?!"Many exclaimed.

"Why do they even want your Pikachu? Couldn't they just caught a wild one instead?"Bill asked.

"Because after what happen during our first encounter they end up believing Pikachu to be way stronger then a regular one, so that's why they have been trying to catch him and any Pokémon they encounter."Ash explained.

"What happened to bring them to that conclusion?" Zacharias asked.

"To make it short, I help Pikachu by overcharging him with a bike which cause a huge explosion that destroy the Pokémon Center, and they have been after him since then."Ash replied.

"You know they aren't exactly wrong, he might not have been that powerful when they first met him, but he's quite powerful compare to other Pikachu."Alexia said, Pikachu flex his muscle at the compliment making many to giggles at his sillyness.

"Pika Pi!"Pikachu cried out.

"Team Rocket! Come back!"Ash demanded.

"That's not your Pikachu!"Dawn shouted.

"Never stopped us before. We're not changing our motives because of some twerps."James said.

"Right! I like these words, what's mine is mine, and what is your is too?"Jessie laughed.

"Wobbuffet!"

"Forget Pikachu, and collect stamps."Meowth said.

Alexia bit her lower lips nervously, as she pondered a plan to save Pikachu... But Ash had another plan.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you asking Kirlia to teleport to get Pikachu?"

"Because at that point I haven't train Kirlia to teleport on moving vehicle, so it could have been dangerous for Kirlia to teleport to the cage."Alexia explained.

Hermione nodded."Make sense, you couldn't risk getting Kirlia injured if she miss the cage."

"Now Starly! I choose you!"Ash called, sending Starly out."Starly, cut the ropes that's holding Pikachu!"

"Starly!"He charged straight at the rope.

"As if! Let's ask Carnivine for an alternate opinion!"James said, calling out his Carnivine, as it was sent out, James was bit once again by Carnivine.

Jessie, Meowth, and Wobbuffet tried to pry Carnivine from James' head, only to shake the balloon, which startled Starly as it get directly in his direction, as he popped the balloon.

"Oh damn that's unlucky..."Seamus said.

"I wonder why he didn't tell his Startly to use a move to go faster?"

"You do forget small thing like that in the heat of the moment." Anthony said.

"Pikachu, oh no!"Ash gasped.

Team Rocket and Pikachu screamed as they crashes at a nearby lake, where a Turtwig was sleeping the crash cause him to wake up, and walk toward where the sound came from... He notice Pikachu in a cage walk closer it and opened the cage releasing an happy Pikachu.

"You are not relieve of duty Pika pal."Jessie said.

"Now Carnivine sink your teeth into someone else."James said, pointing towards Pikachu and Turtwig.

Many students chuckles at that.

"This is going to be a recurring theme, isn't it?"Charlie said, finding it amusing.

Carnivine open his mouth."Carnivine!"

"Turtwig!"

"You are a Turtwig, aren't ya?"Meowth asked.

"Turtwig, Turtwig, Twig!"

"Oh please, just cause you say we are tresspassing on your turf doesn't mean we are looking at the same stupid map you are."Meowth said.

"Turtwig!"Turtwig tap his foot on the ground.

"Turtwig seems pretty angry."

"Wouldn't you be if you were wake up like that?"Blaise asked.

"Yeah? So what if we blow your turf that leafy head of yours doesn't scare me a bit."Meowth replied.

"Threatening us ey? Carnivine Bullet Seed, let's go!"James called out.

Carnivine leap fowards launching his Bullet Seed attack, which miss as Turtwig quickly evaded it. Turtwig run towards Team Rocket.

"Now with got problems, waking up a Turtwig from his snooze is asking for trouble."Meowth said.

Turtwig slame into Carnivine sending into Team Rocket, creating a small explosion which send Team Rocket flying.

Many blinked in surprised, as they wondered how could an attack like that could cause an explosion like that?

"Talk about an early exist."Jessie sighed.

"Hardly worth the bite mark on my brain."James said.

"WE ARE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"

"Turtwig."

"Pika."

"Pikachu!"Ash called out, the two Pokémon turned to see Ash, Alexia, Dawn, Brock arriving at the scene.

"Everything okay?"Ask asked.

"Pikachu!"

Turtwig glared at the quartet, taking a battle pose in front of Pikachu. Alexia tilts her head, noticing Turtwig's protective stance.

"Wow, it's a Turtwig."Dawn said.

"Sure is, pretty sure it's a Sinnoh region starter Pokémon."Ash said, taking out his Pokédex.

"Turtwig, the Tiny Leaf Pokémon. Its shell are made of earth, and when it absorbs water, it becomes harder."

"That's really rare to see a wild Turtwig."Brock said.

"Is it really rare to see a wild one?"

"They aren't exactly that rare, but it differs from region to region, some being more common, others rarer. For example Chikorita here, would be rarer to find wild in Sinnoh then it would be in Johto."Alexia explained, rubbing Chikorita head getting a cry of content from her.

"This is my chance! Piplup, use Peck."Dawn called, sending her Piplup out.

Piplup charged at Turtwig, who countered with a Razor Leaf.

"Quick! Dodge it!"Dawn shouted, Piplup drop on the ground and rolled around to dodge the Razor Leafs. When suddenly, one of the leaves struck an Oddish, who came out of a bush, as it swayed while using Sleep Powder.

"Oh no! Pikachu! Look out!"Ash gasped as he ran for his friend. However as he got there, Ash and Pikachu were caught in Oddish Sleep Powder. They dozed off, and fell asleep.

"What was that powder?"

"It's a sleep-inducing dust known as Sleep Powder."Alexia replied.

"What happened to them!?"Dawn gasped.

"They got a sniff full of Oddish's Sleep Powder."Alexia said, as the two were asleep, Turtwig went over and picked up Pikachu on his back, and then made his escape.

"Why did Turtwig take Pikachu away?"Tracey asked, frowning.

"Because Turtwig was protective of Pikachu as you had seen when he put himself between Pikachu and Ash, and thought we were there to harm him so it's why he took off with Pikachu."Alexai replied.

"Hey, wait!"Alexia and Brock called out.

"Turtwig!"Dawn cried.

They made a run for Turtwig, but were stopped by an old lady.

"Mercy me. Children."The lady called.

Ash, Alexia, Pikachu, and Gardevoir smiled, it has been quite sometime since they had last seen Clara.

"I wondered how she's doing these days?"Alexia said.

Dawn, Alexia and Brock stopped as Turtwig ran away with Pikachu.

Later...

Alexia, Dawn and Brock were at the woman's house, as she mixed up a medicine for Ash to wake up.

"Drink this, dear."The lady said, pouring the drink in Ash's mouth. The medicine did its work as Ash woke up and looked around.

"Huh? Where am I? Pikachu? Where's Pikachu?"Ash called, looking around for Pikachu.

"It looks like my herb tea, sure did its job."

Poppy and Pomona were very interested in the herb she used in that tea, Poppy has always been interested in the medicinal aspect of herbs and plants, so she was keen to discover new plants and herbs.

"Huh?"

"Forgive me, my name is Clara."The lady introduced herself.

"Hi, my name is Ash, is nice to meet ya."Ash said, confused.

"This is Clara house."Alexia explained.

"I hope you had a nice nap."Brock said.

"You have nothing to fear. Turtwig's a good Pokémon. I'm sure your Pikachu is fine."Clara assured.

"Wait, she knows that Turtwig?"A first year asked.

"You know that Turtwig?"Alexia asked.

He blushes having asking the same question as her.

"Heavens, yes! Turtwig and I are old friends."Clara answered.

"Wow really?"

The scene cut to Turtwig and Pikachu, where Turtwig headbutt a tree making a fruit to fall on Pikachu's head. Turtwig picks up the fruit and give it to Pikachu.

Many chuckles when the fruit fall on Pikachu's head, Pikachu playfully glare at his friend Oshawott who was laughing even Chikorita, Pidove and Flaaffy were giggling.

"Turtwig, Turtwig, Turtwig."Turtwig smiled.

"Pika?"

Pikachu looks unsure about fruit.

"Turtwig!"Turtwig encourage Pikachu, which he bite into the fruit, suddenly his eyes widened.

"Pikachu!" Pikachu start to eat faster, loving the fruit as Turtwig watch him eat smiling.

Back to Clara continuing talking about her friendship with Turtwig.

"Turtwig is quite the little helper you see. Turtwig's always coming to the aid of people and Pokémon. And has been for quite some time."

"Remind me of a certain someone."Ash smiled, Alexia blushes knowing he was talking about her.

"Chiko!"Chikorita smiled, that was one of the main reason why she had joined Alexia after she had save her from poacher..

"So, Clara. Does that mean Turtwig is your Pokémon?"Dawn asked.

"No, dear. Land's sakes. I'm very busy working on my herb garden without the time it would take be a trainer or Coordinator."Clara answered. "Truth is, one day Turtwig just show up here out of nowhere. The poor dear, looking exhausted, so I put up some dinner and make sure Turtwig got plenty of sleep."

"Well, if I were Turtwig, I'd never want to leave after that."Brock replied.

"Yes, Turtwig's been here ever since. Helping everything and everyone that needs help, including me, all from a simple twist of fate. In no time all the Pokémon around here made Turtwig their leader."Clara explained.

"It's quite impressive of him becoming a leader."

Back to Pikachu and Turtwig who were now eating a bunch of fruit when they heard a noise nearby. They looked up and saw a Geodude and Mankey fighting for a fruit.

"Pika Pi Pika!"Pikachu called out, trying to get their attention but they ignore him.

Turtwig has another plan, as he slams against the tree, knocking down Geodude and Mankey. They continued to fight for the fruit when Turtwig suddenly headbutt it out of their hand.

"Man Mankey Man!"

"Geo Dude Geodude!"

A small cloud fight ensues as Pikachu tries to stop it, but is pushed back as he watches the fight... Seconds later, the fight ends with Geodude and Mankey knocked out, Pikachu looking dumbfounded.

Many chuckles at Pikachu dumbfounded face, while some were quite interested to see how wild Pokémon interact amongs each other.

"But at times, Turtwig gets carried away, it's alot of responsibility for the dear."Clara said.

"It sound the pressure is pretty high."Alexia said, concerned.

"The Turtwig we saw back at Professor Rowan's lab was totally laid-back and so relax."Dawn said.

"Pokémon are like people, with personalities as diverse as you can imagine."Brock replied.

"And living in different environment will do that too."Charlie said.

"Brock's right, but I still can't figure out why Turtwig was trying to attacked us."Ash sighed.

"Well, I wasn't there, but if I were to guess, I'd say Turtwig was trying to protect Pikachu."Clara said.

"Of course! I noticed Turtwig took a protective stance, and must have thought we were trying to harm Pikachu!"Alexia exclaimed.

"And Dawn attacking Turtwig probably didn't help either."Neville said.

Alexia nodded."In retrospect, I should have done something to stop Dawn and maybe the misunderstanding wouldn't have happened."

Ash puts a hand on her shoulder."

Ash stood up with determination."I will be right back, I'm going to go out and get Pikachu back! Once I tell Turtwig the truth, everything's going to be fine."Ash grinned, he went out the door, followed by Alexia, Dawn and Brock.

Later...

Turtwig smiled as he communicated with Mankey and Geodude with a bouquet of fruit in front of him, evenly distributed. Mankey and Geodude smiled, took their share of fruit and left.

"Pika Pika!"Pikachu waved goobye, just as Turtwig yawns before taking a nap. When suddenly, the gang walked through the trees, looking for Turtwig and Pikachu, when they spot them.

"Pikachu!"Ash called.

"Pika!"

Turtwig wake up and turned and immediately took a battle stance when he saw them.

"We thought we might found you two here."Dawn said.

"It's great, how Clara knows Turtwig."Brock said, as Ash walk closer.

When suddenly Turtwig took off running toward Ash, and body slam him. Ash grunted in pain as he was sent toward the ground.

Everyone were taken aback at Turtwig attacking Ash like that.

Charlie sighed."Ash should have walked slowly and raised his arm to show he meant no harm, If not, that's probably why Turtwig attacked him."

"Ash! Are you okay?"Alexia asked.

"Yeah... That was some smack."Ash groaned as he stood up.

Turtwig stood ready for an another attack, until he was stop by Pikachu.

"Pika Pika, Pikachu, Pi Pika!"

"Turtwig, Turtwig!"

"Wow, Turtwig isn't listening to Pikachu at all."Brock said.

"I know some people like that."Dawn said.

"Same."Tracey giggles, Blaise and Theo frowned at her.

"Why do I have the impression that she was talking specifically about a certain person?"Ginny asked, Alexia smirks at Ash, who smile sheepishly.

Pikachu nudged Turtwig, trying to make him listen. "Pika Pika!"

"Twig?"

"Pikachu's my best friend. See we were only trying to help, Team Rocket they are the bad guys that took Pikachu from me, we were trying to stop them."Ash explained, annoyed.

"Turtwig?"

"Pika Pi Pika."Pikachu nodded.

Turtwig gasped in shock as he quickly backed away, ashamed of himself. He bowed down, multiple times to apologize.

"At least Turtwig's apologizing for what he did."Hestia said.

"Guess Turtwig is sorry for what happen."Alexia said.

"A little too sorry, don't you think?"Dawn asked.

Ash put his cap back on and walked over to Turtwig. "Don't worry about it, Turtwig. I'm really grateful to you for saving Pikachu."

Turtwig open his eyes, a little tearful as he nodded. Just then, there was a rustle coming from the bushes. Everyone watches a Linoone slowly walk out.

"Oh no! What happen to that Pokémon!"A first year gasped, worriedly.

"Linoone got attack by another Pokémon."Alexia answered.

"It's cute! Remind me of my pet ferret."Another first year said.

"A Linoone! But, what's wrong?"Ash asked.

"It seems Linoone might have been attack by another Pokémon."Alexia said.

"A Linoone? Let's see..."Dawn said, checking on her Pokédex.

"Linoone, the Rushing Pokémon. When it spots it's prey, it run towards it in a straight line, they are able to run 60 miles per a hour."

"We've got to help it!"Alexia said, as she run over, along with Brock, checking how Linoone was.

"This Linoone must've smashed into something really hard."Brock said.

"Let's go back to Clara's house."Ash suggested.

Later...

The gang took the injured Linnone to Clara's home, where they were seating outside, as Brock had Linoone in his arm while taking out some medicine herb.

"This herb are perfect for healing all sorts of wounds and bruises. You will be better real soon."Brock said, he rubbed the herb on Linoone stomach, who cried out in content.

"Linoone was lucky to have collapsed near you, who knows what might have happened to him."Padma said.

"True, but he would still have been able to recover on his own, albeit at a slower pace."Alexia said.

"Real soon is right, you sure know your stuff."Dawn said.

"You certainly do. You're quite the Pokémon healer."Clara said, smiling.

"Don't thank me. Those wonderful herbs of yours are the ones that did the trick."Brock replied.

Alexia sighed."I'm glad that we found Linoone so quick."

"Kirlia."Kirlia agreed.

As they talked, Team Rocket spied on them through a periscope.

"Intriguing a Team Rocket Turtwig."Jessie said.

"If that Turtwig had no problems taking care of us, he wouldn't have a problem against those twerps."Meowth said.

"With Pikachu and Turtwig the world would be our Cloyster."James said.

"Sailing through the Sinnoh region sooner our legend will be legion!"Team Rocket sang.

"Wait, are they are going to try and capture Turtwig? I thought they were only interested by Pikachu?"

"Not exactly, yes Pikachu is the one that interests them the most, but they'll still try to get any Pokémon they take an interest in."Ash said.

"Wobbuffet!"

"Mime Mime!"

"Let's launch this legend today."Jessie said.

"Okay!"James and Meowth agreed, as their submarine begins to move towards them...

Minutes later...

They were having lunch, cooked by Brock.

"Anytime you cook something that's needs to be eaten, you just ask."Dawn said.

"Tell me, Brock my boy. Is there something that you can't do?"Clara asked.

"Well, I'm glad that you're enjoying it. There's alot more, so dig in."Brock smiled.

"Hey, Linoone. Good food, huh?"Ash asked, grinning.

"Is his food really that good?"Ron asked.

"Oh, you have no idea!"Ash said.

Alexia nodded."Not only that, but our Pokémon loved his poké food he would make, which sometime make me a bit jealous that my Pokémon like his more then mine."

'Yes, Brock are good but I like yours more.'Gardevoir telepathically said, Chikorita and Flaaffy agreeing.

"Lino!"Linoone nodded, licking his lips, Turtwig then moved his bowl, giving Linoone his food. Linoone thanked Turtwig as he ate the offered food.

"You know what? You're a nice after all."Ash said.

"Turtwig."

"But don't let it go to your head."

"Turtwig?"

"Or mine."Ash point to his.

Turtwig, then recalled what he did to Ash, as he looked down sadly.

Ash chuckled."It was just a little joke. Hey, Turtwig, you need to eat too."

Ash brought more of Brock's stew and placed the bowl in front of Turtwig.

"Here you go."

Turtwig was shocked at first, he became happy as he leap in the air and bite onto Ash's head.

"Oh no."Dawn and Brock gasped, as Alexia giggles.

"Why are you laughing? Aren't you concerned that he could have been hurt?"Lavender asked.

"Nope, because I'd already seen this kind of behavior with my father Gligar, who would always bite your head to show his affection or when he's just being playful."Alexia replied.

James frowned sadly, knowing that his daughter might never call him dad again, and he no know but himself to blame...

"Turtwig, cut it out! Let go of my head!"Ash cried, trying to pry Turtwig from his head.

"Turtwig's such a scamp."Clara laughed, as everyone looked confused. "When Turtwig bites you, it's a sign that Turtwig really likes you."

Alexia smiled."It reminds me of one of my father's Pokémon, who do the same thing to show his affection."

"Does Turtwig do the same to you?"Dawn asked.

"Of course, come here Turtwig."Clara mentioned to Turtwig to come, when suddenly he jump towards Clara.

"Look out!"Ash yelled.

Clara smiled as she showed a twig with Turtwig biting it.

"Amazing, that was like a great combination."

"I'm sure with a little practice, you could do the same."Clara giggled.

Suddenly two machine arms grabbed Turtwig and Pikachu, they were dragged into a glass container, the two yelled out for them.

"Pikachu! Turtwig!"Ash cried out.

Just then, something came from the surface of the water, it was a machine that looked like a Magikarp. The hatch opened, revealing three familiar faces!

"Who in the name of Pokémon, are you?"Clara asked.

"Listen, is that a voice that I hear? James, your turn."

"It's speaking to me loud and clear!"

"On the wind!"

"Past the stars!"

"In your ear!"

"Bringing chaos at a breakneck place!"

"Dashing hope, putting fear in its place!"

"A rose by any other name is just as sweet!"

"When everything's worse, our work is complete!"

"Sweet!"

"Jessie!"

"And James!"

"Meowth, that's a name!"

"Putting the good-doers in their places!"

"Team Rocket..."

"In your face!"

"Wobbuffet!"

"Mime mime!"

"I hope they won't do that everytime you encounter them."Roger said.

"Well, you're gonna have to get use to it since they do it every single time unless they get interrupted."Ash said.

"Pika pi."Pikachu sighed.

"Team Rocket!?"Ash and Dawn gasped.

"Say, that's some catch. You can't get any fresher then this."James said.

"Come on! Why don't you give it up!?"Dawn yelled.

"That hat of yours is too tight. Otherwise, you'd remember what I'd said: What's mime is mime, and what is your is too."Jessie said, bored.

"We got two power Pokémon points in a peekaboo package."

Team Rocket went back in the sub, dragging the glass container along with them!

"Pikachu! Turtwig!"Ash called out as he dove into the water.

Many were surprised at how he didn't even hesitated to dive in the water to go save Pikachu and Turtwig

"What are you doing, Ash?"Dawn asked.

"Dawn get Piplup."Alexia said, Dawn nodded.

"Piplup! Go help Ash get Pikachu and Turtwig!"

She sent out Piplup as he tries to catch up to Ash.

"Dear, it look likes Team Rocket is planning to escape by using the river."Clara said.

"Then let's go after them."Brock said, Alexia and Dawn nodded as they ran off after them.

Meanwhile with Team Rocket who are making their escape.

"Ah, the sea life."James said.

Meowth said something, with Wobbufet agreeing with him when suddenly Jessie spot something in the periscope.

"Huh? Twerp on screen!"Jessie exclaimed.

Ash swam faster and managed to catch up."I've gotcha!"

"How were you able to catch up to them so quickly?"Cedric asked.

"If you had notice Team Rocket were quite confident they had escape, so they weren't going that fast."Alexia pointed out.

"And Piplup was a great help in catching up."Ash said, many smile sheepishly they had forget about Piplup...

As he grabbed onto the glass container, only to get dragged down by Team Rocket who were going faster. Turtwig used Tackle to try and break the glass, Pikachu help to with an Iron Tail.

"That's it! Now, use Thunderbolt!"Ash yelled underwater, Pikachu managed to break the glass container, but sadly shocked everyone in the water with his Thunderbolt.

Many gasped in shocked that he would order Pikachu to do an electric move under water...

"You stupid, idiot!"Alexia smacked the back of Ash's head, and proceed to scolded him as he flinches slighty. Remus and Sirius chuckle as it reminds them of Lily and James, whenever Lily scolds James for his recklessness.

Brock, Alexia, Dawn along with Clara were running following the river, as Clara was slowing down.

"Its no good."

Alexia, Brock and Dawn stopped.

"Clara!"

"Are you alright?"Alexia asked, concerned.

"I can't take another step."

When suddenly they spot a blast of electric power coming from the lake close by them.

"It's Ash."

"Piplup!"Dawn exclaimed.

Ash was blasted and landed on the ground close by them, as Pikachu, Piplup and Turtwig all fell on Ash. Alexia, Dawn, Brock, and Clara came over.

Everyone was surprised to see how well he was doing after being electrocuted by Pikachu's Thunderbolt while being underwater...

"It's so good to see that all of you are alright."Clara sighed.

"You were great Piplup."Dawn said.

"Yeah Piplup thank you."Ash thanked Piplup, before checking on Turtwig and Pikachu."And how are you two guys holding up?"

Turtwig suddenly glow in the sunlight!

"What's happening to Turtwig?"Alicia asked.

"Turtwig's using a move know has Synthesis which allow him to heal himself."Ash replied.

"What's that?"Dawn asked.

"It's called Synthesis."Clara answered.

"I've never heard of it."

"Synthesis is a move that allow a Pokémon to heal really fast."Alexia explained, when Turtwig was finished, it began jumping down happily.

"What do you know, it works!"Dawn said.

"Pardon for not caring less."Jessie said.

Everyone turned to see Team Rocket hanging over by their sub.

"They are still there!? I would have thought their submarine would have been destroy and send them flying like before."Dean said.

"What's a submarine?"Arthur asked.

"It's a transportation that people use to travel under the sea."Ted replied.

"Fascinating."

"You make me sick! Listen to that twerpish triumph!"

"If you dweebs thinks we're gonna let you off easily, then think again!"Meowth growled.

"Right! We'll lose when I say so!"James snapped.

"Wobbuffet!"

They leap toward the air and landed on the ground, preparing for battle.

"Alright, enough is enough!"Ash shouted.

"Pika!"

"Turtwig!"

"More twerp intolerance! Let's go, Seviper!"

"You too, Carnivine!"

Seviper was sent out fine, but Carnivine bit James once again.

Many shakes their head at the scene, as some chuckles.

"He should have seen it coming."James said.

"Seviper, use Poison Tail!"Jessie yelled.

"Now, you use Bite!"James yelled.

Both Pokémon charged their attack, when Turtwig bashed Seviper with Tackle and then Bite Carnivine!

Everyone were impressed by how quick Turtwig dealt with them.

"Ah! Carnivine got a dose of his own medicine !"

"No way!"Jessie and James gasped.

"Oh, yes way."Alexia smirks.

Turtwig hurls Carnivine at Team Rocket, who recover quickly.

"Alright, Seviper use Poison Tail once more!"

"Carnivine, Bite, their heads not mine!"

"They already tried that before, do they really think they are going to get different result?"Hermione asked.

"Sometime people can be quite stubborn."Harry said.

Ginny smirk."So... Like you."

"Hey!"

Hermione and Ron laughed.

They leap up once more charging their attacks!

"Okay, here they come! Pikachu, use Volt Tackle!" Ash yelled.

Pikachu nodded and sped towards Team Rocket.

"Kirlia, use Psybeam!"Alexia yelled, Kirlia nodded, and helped Pikachu with a Psybeam, which, when the two attacks connect, causes an explosion that sends Team Rocket flying through the air.

"I thought you said we weren't going to lose unless you said so!"Jessie said.

"Hey, were you talking behind my back?"Meowth asked.

"Of course not! I said go with those idiots misunderstood!"James replied.

Team Rocket disappeared out of sight.

"Alright! We did it!"Ash exclaimed, Turtwig turned around and bit onto Ash's head once again. "Hey, haven't we had enough biting for one day? I like it to, but this is nuts!"

Everyone smiled at the scene, Turtwig and Ash seems to have bond quite quickly in the short amount of time they had met, and they wondered if it will end up like with Alexia and Eevee.

Later...

The camera over Clara's house as the gang says their goodbye.

"Thanks for everything Clara."Dawn said.

"You all take care."Clara smiled.

"And you do the same."

"Take it easy, Turtwig."Ash said, Pikachu agreed.

Turtwig watches them leave, and seems disheartened.

"Aww, poor Turtwig..."Lavender said.

"Yes, I know. You want to go."Clara said, Turtwig turned towards her."Of course, I will be just fine by myself. You go with them."

"Just like what happen with Eevee and Alexia!"Astoria exclaimed.

"I'm just happy that Turtwig won't have to say goodbye to his new friends."Hannah smiled.

"Yeah, but now he will those that he had behind."Justin said.

"Oh, yeah..."

Turtwig run towards them and managed to stop them.

"Turtwig?"Ash asked.

"What's wrong?"Dawn asked.

"Turtwig wants to go along with you."Clara explained.

"Huh?"

"You shouldn't be surprised, Turtwig likes you."Clara said, Ash looked back at Turtwig and smiled.

"You bet! Of course you can come along!"

"Turtwig! Turtwig!"

"But first thing first, Turtwig wants to battle you."Clara said.

"Uh? Why would he want to battle you?"Terry asked.

"Sometimes, even if they want to come with you, they like to test you before you capture them."Ash replied.

"Sure, sounds good to me."Ash agreed.

"Pika pi pika!"

Moments later, Pikachu and Turtwig were standing off in front of each other. As the battle start with Turtwig using Tackle.

"Pikachu, Quick Attack, let's go!"

Pikachu easily intercepted the incoming attack with a Quick Attack. Which make Turtwig rolled across the ground and recover quickly before unleashing a Razor Leafs attack.

"Quick dodge it!"Ash called.

Pikachu nodded and escaped Turtwig attack, only to be hit by another Tackle.

"What the-!?"Alexia gasped.

"What was that?"Dawn asked.

"Why are you shocked at what Turtwig did?"Millicent asked, confused.

"Ah, is just that Turtwig strategy took us by surprised."Alexia replied.

"First, Turtwig stop the attack with Razor Leaf, then slams Pikachu too. That was some strategy."Brock said.

"Pikachu, get up!"Ash called.

Just as Pikachu began to get up, Turtwig was making another attack!

"Oh no, I think Turtwig's going for a Bite!"Alexia exclaimed.

"Pikachu, dodge it quick!"

Pikachu jumped to avoid the attack but Turtwig jumped after him and bite on Pikachu's tail!

"Pikachu, shakes loose quick!"Ash called out.

Pikachu tries to shake Turtwig off, but he refused to let go.

Many laughed at how comical the scene was.

"If this keeps up, Pikachu is going to be wiped... What I am going to do..."Ash thought..."OH! That's it! Pikachu over there!"

Ash points toward the tree, Pikachu start running towards it.

"That's it! Now, use Iron Tail!"Ash called out.

Pikachu's tail glow which startled Turtwig, before slamming Turtwig into the tree. Turtwig was in pain.

"Let's wrap this up! Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!"Ash yelled, the move shocked Turtwig, which give Ash the opportunity to throw his Pokéball. The Pokéball rattled as everyone watches anxiously, then stopped...

Ash smiled and run to get his Pokéball. "Hey! I just caught a Turtwig!" He celebrated.

Everyone cheered, happy for Turtwig and Ash. Ash smiled, but frowned when he noticed a large portion of students wearing green were sneering at him instead.

"Pika pi pikachu!"

Everyone approaches Ash.

"Ash, you did it!"Alexia smiled.

"Promise me, you are gonna take good care of Turtwig for me now, won't you dear. It means alot."Clara said.

"Right!"Ash smiled.
