Chapter 3 - Journey to Unova

Kate and her Pokemon, Pachirisu, had been assign to head over to Unova and stop Team Dim Sun again. She knew about Kellyn being in Sinnoh, clearing the path of Psyducks on the route for the trainers to cross. She thought about him having the easy job while she had to stop the evil organisation again, but alone this time. Though it was great that she gets her own mission for once, a mission which was assign to her personally. "I hope that we do a great job in this, right Pachirisu?" Kate stated.Pachirisu just nodded as they made it to the docks. Upon arrival, there ships of all sizes, from cruise ships to speedboats. She went to one of the boat that was especially design for Pokemon Rangers. It had radio antennas which were much more sophisticated than conventional antennas, a special sonar to pick up submarines and mines, and a cell to hold some criminals whenever they need to. It even have a build in EMP gun, to take out anything that was causing threats to the environment or as self defence. The engine that powers the boat wasn't any normal motor, as it uses the sea water to move by spraying the water out like a powerful jet hose. It's environmental friendly and efficiently to travel over regions to regions.As Kate got into the driver's seat, she made sure that her partner, Pachirisu, was well buckled too. She then start up the boat, before checking everything as followed for safety. Once everything was done, she placed her GPS on the docking area for the device, showing her the way to the Unova region. With that, she began to accelerate the boat, slowly manoeuvring it out the docks and into the open sea. Once she was clear, she floored the boat, making haste towards Unova.Along the way, she puts the boat in autopilot before unbuckling from her seat. The boat was now in a cruising speed, allowing Kate to concentrate on other matters without worries of the boat going too fast. Her Pachirisu was perch on her left shoulder, with a bag for her capturer. She took out a map that showed her the way to Unova. "Alright, we have to pass a few small islands before we reach Unova. We need to stop and rest for a bit and restock in supplies as well. How about it?" Kate stated out as she used a pin to make some of the islands that she would dock the boat at.She had to make 3 stops to stock up on supplies and rest for the day, as it would take her a few days to reach Unova. She looked out the window to see that there was a cruise ship, heading towards Almia. The vast ocean had water-type pokemons swimming across the sea. As she went outside, she leaned over the edge to looked down into the ocean. There were all kinds of pokemons swimming below her as well when a baby pokemon noticed her. It swam upwards, towards her before jumping out of the ocean. Kate quickly caught it in her hands, surprised that it jumped suddenly. Though, she had to admit it, the baby pokemon is just cute. It's a baby Mantine, as she could carry with her hands without problems. "Aren't you a cute little Mantine," she said while patting Mantine's head."Well, better send you back into the ocean," with that, Kate placed the Mantine into the ocean water. It just look at her with a smile before swimming back down into the ocean to join its family. Kate giggled at how cute it was as looked out into the vast ocean. Some of the Seagulls were flying high above the sky, moving along with the boat that Kate was on. The sun was shining brilliantly in the open sky. The smell of the ocean made Kate feel light headed as the breeze blew from behind her. Her hair was moving around with the wind, but without messing her hair up since she tied 2 spiky ponytails.As she went back into the driver seat, she took a look into the GPS. There was still a few hours till they make it to their 1st pit stop. "Let's try to do something to pass the time," she told Pachirisu. Kate grab her screwdriver and began to mess around with a communication gear she had few years ago. She never stop messing with techs as she was always been fascinated in them. While her partner when and took a nap, as it would be a long time before they reach the island.After a few hours, the boat Kate was in was nearing the island. The sun was beginning to set into the horizon, giving a orange hue in the ocean. She wished she had a camera to remember this beautiful scenery. She wanted to show this to her teammates, Kellyn, Crawford and Barlow. "Maybe another time," she sighed as she slowed the boat to a slow pace, carefully manoeuvring it beside the docking area. Once she felt a slight jerk from hitting the dock, she quickly shuts down the engine before getting off of her seat. She grab some ropes before tossing over to the men, who came to help securing the boat to the docks, preventing it from floating away into the ocean.Once the boat was secured to the docks, Kate make sure that everything was switch off before getting off the boat. Her Pachirisu was now on top of her head, half asleep since Kate woke her up from its slumber. There were boats, sailors and yachts of all different shapes and sizes, parked at the docks for the people to rest from their long journey. Once she was off of the docks, she went towards the small town.There were market going on right now, selling berries or fruits for the people that lived on the island. Kate entered the market to restock on supplies for her journey to Unova. She made sure that it was enough for the journey ahead, getting enough for a day or 2. There were lots of stalls that sell all kinds of berries, ranging from Pecha Berry to the rare Liechi Berry. She bought a few of those while buying some ramen and rice cake as well to help with her starving tummy. Once she had bought the other remaining supplies, she went back to her boat to restock it. The sky had began to grow darker, though there was still a little light emitting from the sun that was still shining just above the horizon.Kate entered the dock, making sure that she had everything she needed. Once everything was there, she starts to stock the boat with supplies. As she got on board, she couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. As she unpacked, she called out to her Pokemon, Pachirisu. "Pachi, time for dinner," but there was no response. There was only silence, apart from the sound of the ocean splashing against the boats and ships parked at the docks. "Pachi? Where are you?" Kate asked out loudly, but there was still no response. She started to get worried, as Pachirisu never left her side, even when she was asleep. She quickly got off the boat and headed straight towards the market, retracing her steps to where she might lost Pachirisu.Unfortunately, she couldn't find him anymore, even if the market was currently empty. Kate felt heartbroken when her long time partner disappeared as she headed back to the boat to get some sleep before continuing to search for Pachi tomorrow. She wanted to find who was responsible for taking her partner.Meanwhile, Kate's Pachirisu was in cage with a big red 'R' plastered on its side. "I told you, we can send this to the boss! He might even promote us!" a lady with a curvy down pinkish hair said. She wore a white top with uncovered belly, with the same 'R' on the front of the shirt, a pair of black gloves that stretch to her elbows, a short white skirt and a pair of socks that reach her thighs."But you do know that we just captured a Ranger's Pokemon partner, right?" a man with blue coloured hair that reach above his shoulder replied. Just like the female, he wore the same shirt, but longer. His gloves stretch up till halfway up his wrist, a pair of long pants that was tucked into his boots in the end and a rose that was tucked neatly into his pocket."But da ya know that we can fetch good money with it?" a talking Pokemon responded. It was a Meowth, but Pachirisu was surprised that it could talk. Just what were they going to do with him, but one thing for sure, Kate will find him."I'm sure it will, Meowth," the lady then walked out of the cave that they were hiding in. It was really dark outside right now, since the sun had set."Let's get some sleep, Jessie. We have to wake up pretty early tomorrow," the man said before yawning, indicating that he was really tired and needed a good night sleep. Since their back was facing towards Pachirisu, it tried to unlock the cage that he was trapped in. But with the padlock held the door locked, there was no way of escaping without help."Fine, James, but I'll blame you if the Pokemon was stolen from us," with that being said, Jessie returned back into the cave as James began to lie down for a good night sleep. Meowth curled up of opposite of James, before snoozing off into a deep sleep. Since only Jessie and Pachirisu were left awake, Jessie went over to the pokemon before looking into it. "I'm sure the boss will find how clumsy the Pokemon Rangers are these days," with that, she walked away from the cage before lying down, drifting off into a sleep. The pokemon later curled up its tail around its body before it too drift off into a sleep.In the next morning, in the boat, Kate had packed up her spare capturer gear, in case she lost her 1st one. Once she had everything, she locked up the boat before getting off to find her partner. When she exited the docks, she saw that there were people moving from buildings to buildings, getting their business ready. She quickly pass all of the buildings and out into the forest, which her instincts from travelling in forest to kick up. Kate made sure she didn't disturb any Pokemon's territory and avoid any mishap along the way.There caves and tall trees all over the forest, making it hard to search for Pachirisu. But Kate didn't want to give up as she continued on, taking a few sips from her bottle of water that she brought along. The weather was a bit sunny, but it didn't Kate from continuing as she continued searching.2 hours had passed since Kate had entered the forest. She had look in every single cave that she could find and every tall trees that she could climb, but Pachirisu was no where to be found. Her bottle was just nearly emptied as she fight through the forest. The wild Pokemons around her were friendly, which was fortunate, since she had to concentrate on getting through the forest. Upon entering a small clearance, she spotted a cave with 2 figures and a Pokemon hiding inside. Kate quickly hid behind a large boulder before peeking out.She was shocked to see that Team Rocket was on this island, and they were wanted criminals by the cops and Pokemon Rangers. And what's more shocking was that, they had captured her partner. Kate then scanned her surroundings for any help when she saw one that would do the job.Back inside the cave, Jessie had just finished off cleaning herself of the dust. "Right, all set?" Jessie asked. The other nodded, getting ready to move out as James grab the cage before they start leaving the cave/ "Not so fast Team Rocket!" a shout was heard all of a sudden, which made the trio jumped up in terror.Kate then hop onto the boulder as she looked down at Team Rocket. "Give back the Pokemon you stole and don't think about resisting!" she exclaimed angrily at them. A few Pokemons later appeared out in the clearing, which all of them were evolved from the 1st evolution."Drat, the brat has got us surrounded," Jessie stated, grabbing one of her poke balls."What are we going to do?" James asked, clutching onto the cage tightly."Fear not as I have a secret weapon!" Meowth said before taking out like what appeared to be a control with a red button on it. He pressed the button before a slight tremor was felt throughout the ground. The small tremor later turned into a big shake as Kate lost her balance before jumping off of the boulder.The ground started to break up, as an object began to emerge from the ground. Kate tried to regain her balance, but the constant tremor made it difficult. And the trio wasn't even affected by the tremor as they were on top of a platform. The object began to take shape, which Kate was dumbfounded about it. It was a plane like vehicle, but with the design that looks like a Salamence. "Goodbye, little Ranger brat!" Jessie called out before entering the plane."Oh no you don't!" Kate exclaimed, trying to prevent the trio from escaping, but she was too late as the plane took off into the sky. The smoke came from the plane made her choke as she tried to clear her lungs from the fumes. As the smoke cleared, all that left was a platform that the trio stood on and the angle it was pointed at. She then realised where it was heading as she looked for a bird Pokemon. It didn't take her any time to find one, as a Flygon was flying above her. "Capture on!" she called out, as she shot out her capturer at the Flygon. She successfully captured it as the Pokemon began to dive towards her before landing. She got onto Flygon before flying off to the docks.Once she landed at the docks, she thanked Flygon before getting on to the boat. She hurriedly went to the drivers seat, before turning the engine on while making sure the whole system was switched on as well. Once set, Kate back the boat up before accelerating out into the open sea, to catch up with Team Rocket. She knew that the plane needed fuel to fly, and since it looks rather old, she guessed that it won't make it far.On the 2nd island, Kate was right as the plane had crashed onto the island. The trio had somehow survived the crash as they got off the plane. "I can't believe that you didn't check the fuel gauge before we flew off, Meowth!" Jessie scowled at Meowth while James carried the cage. The cage was untouched during the crash, thus Pachirisu didn't get injured from the impact."We better hide somewhere, or that Ranger will come looking for us soon," James stated, which stopped Jessie from strangling Meowth. They nodded before the three of them headed into the forest, leaving the crashed plane behind.Kate had parked the boat at the docking area on the island. Unlike the 1st island, this wasn't as lively and there were only a few houses build on it. She realised that there was no one was on the island either, which meant looking for Team Rocket a lot easier. Though the eerie silence in the abandoned buildings made her spine shiver. She knew that there would be ghost Pokemons hanging around in this area, which she needs to be careful about moving around the place. She remembered when Crawford and Barlow played a prank on her by scaring her, thus making her 2 spiky ponytails to spike up towards the ceiling, staying like for almost a week. She really hated that.As she walked passed the empty houses, she noticed that the ground had leaves and vines emerged through the cracks in the tiles and the roots from the trees had stuck onto the side of the houses as well. Kate could tell that this place was abandoned ages ago. Once she was out of the small row of houses, she began to venture into the forest to search for the trio.Once she was out in an open, she was dumbfounded at what she founded. A huge old mansion stood there, with windows having holes in them and the sound of creaking as the mansion was setting on its foundation. Though what scares her most was the fact that inside was dark, with the sound of creaking floor with every step she took. This was even scarier than any mission she went, and that was when she had her partner with her. Now, she was all alone in the dark, creepy, and eerily silence mansion that had the potential to scare the living lights out of her skin.As she went deeper into the mansion, she heard something that made her choked on her own breath. There were sounds of footsteps coming from the floor above her, and it was a slow creak. "What did I do to deserve this," she whispered to herself, slumping forward as anime like tears appeared on her cheek. She slowly but bravely, went up the stairs to the 1st floor to check whether was it a Pokemon or something else. She hoped it was just a Pokemon as she flicked her flashlight on to help her to navigate around the old mansion.The floorboards on the ground looks much more breakable than the lower floor, and make much more sound. Kate carefully took her step as she navigate her way towards the 1st room, shivering from the fear of the dark rooms. When she shine it into the room, she swore she saw something moved. Sweats starts to appear on her face from how scared she was. She then felt something moving behind her as she quickly turned around, shining her flashlight along the way. But nothing was there, and she was even more terrified.Suddenly, a figure was behind her, laughing a bit. This made Kate stiffen up as she slowly turned her head over her shoulder when a figure with a messed up face was looking down at her. She shrieked so loudly that it made her hair stands up as she was scared witless. Then a laughter came after that, as the face was actually a mask when it was taken off to reveal a Pokemon Ranger. "You have got to see the look on your face!" she exclaimed, as she clutched onto her belly from her laughter.The Ranger was a blonde, with a ponytail tied behind. One piece of her hair covered one of her eye. She wore a black hat, a pair of fingerless gloves, a pair of long jeans and a crescent moon shape necklace around her neck. By the looks of her uniform, she's from Ring Town from another region.Kate just stand there, both speechless and shocked about what had just happened before falling over, anime style. "You are such a numbskull!" Kate scowled as she wasn't happy about getting jumpscared by someone in a creepy dark mansion."Hey, I can't help it when I see how scared you were when you entered the mansion," the girl told her, folding her arms."Ugh, never mind about that. Now, I wanna ask you, what are you doing here?" Kate asked, changing the subject to avoid from any further embarrassment."Well, at least straighten down your hair 1st, it is still frozen upwards," the girl giggled about Kate's hair still all stiffen up. Kate quickly tried to recover her hair from her scary torment, yet she couldn't get it back down. She just glared at the Pokemon Ranger for doing this to her as she held down her hair with her left hand."Now back to the subject, what are you doing here? And what's your name?" Kate asked, completely upset about her situation."Alright, alright. My name is Espeon, but just call me Espy. And why I'm here, I'm just looking for a lost Pokemon that wander onto this island," Espy explained. This had made Kate interested as she raised an eyebrow about her mission."What sort of Pokemon?" she asked."That is for you to find out and for me to know," Espy said smugly as she grinned at Kate."Will you stop being a hard head! I'm looking for my kidnapped partner who was stolen by Team Rocket!" Kate exclaimed, letting her anger get better of her."Wait, Team Rocket? I was chasing them as well for stealing some Pokemons back at Johto," Espy told her as she was now in serious mood."You were? Then why are you here anyway?""I actually followed 3 fellow grunts from Team Rocket into the mansion earlier. And they are still hiding in this mansion since the doorway is still close," Espy explained as she leaned against the wall behind her. It looked like the wall was about to fall over, but it didn't since it still kept in place."Let's go and find them then!""I know, though since you're here, why don't we split up," Espy suggested, which Kate was not really looking forward to it. After the scare from Espy, she doesn't want to be left alone any longer."I'd suggest we don't," Kate replied as she sweatdropped."What's the matter? Are you scared?" Espy teased her, as she smirked at her while she slowly walked around her."Y-yes..." Kate responded, as she avoid contact, pouting at the fact that she had faced many big problems, from taking down Team Rocket's branches around the region and taking out a powerful organization, yet she was scared to be left alone in the dark."Well, I haven't know your name yet," Espy stated as she stopped in front of Kate."The name is Kate, a Top Ranger," she stated, looking away from her."Oh, a T- wait what?! You're a Top Ranger?!" this had made Espy dumbfounded. She didn't know that girl she was talking to was actually a Top Ranger."Yeah," Kate responded to that, as she too was a bit surprised about Espy's response."Well, I always hear they are the top of the top. I need to proof that you are," Espy stated, placing her hands on her hips as she got closer to Kate, face to face. This had made Kate all tensed up as she backed up a bit, making a space between them."Will this be enough," she said instead of questioning her, showing the capturer on her wrist. That was enough to convince Espy that she was indeed a Top Ranger."Alright, I'm convince enough, but we still have to split up," Espy wanted to find the trio as fast as possible."Fine," Kate reluctantly agreed to it as she look away. Espy just nodded before she walked off deeper into the mansion in search for the trio. Kate flicked her flashlight on, as she shine her way through the mansion.Espy continued to look for the grunts, while avoiding any holes on the floor that could lead her falling down the lower floor. Though she had to admit, the mansion was a bit of a creepy side, but nothing could scare her that bad. Her flashlight was in her hand, shining the way, as she looked up and down for the trio when she heard some noise coming from the opposite of the wall. She placed her ear against the wall when she heard some voices."Let's get out of here, this place gives me the creeps," a female voice said."Got it Jessie," a male voice spoke, as the sound of footsteps were heading towards the entrance of the mansion. She hurriedly headed back the way she came, hoping to catch them before they reach the doorway.Meanwhile, Kate was looking up and down for her Pachirisu as well as the trio from Team Rocket. Along the way, she heard some voices and a few footsteps that were closing in. "This is much better from capturing that twerp's Pikachu," a female voice spoke."Yeah, and besides, this isn't anyone's Pachirisu, but a Pokemon Ranger's," a male voice was heard as well.Kate squinted her eyes down the hallway, making out 3 figures walking towards her. She quickly flash her flashlight at them, before revealing that it was the 3 grunts that stole her Pachirisu. This had blind the trio for awhile before regaining their vision. "Hey! Give me back my Pachirisu!" Kate yelled at them."Oh no, it's that Ranger! Let's get out of here!" Jessie exclaimed, running back the way they came. Kate went to catch up with them, running down the hallway and avoiding the holes and fallen furniture that was all over the ground."Wait, why are we running anyway? We have Pokemons and she doesn't," James stated, which made them stopped. They looked at each other before facepalming about what James stated."Duh, we could have taken her out easily!" Jessie stated as they turned around to face the Ranger.Kate just stopped in her tracks as the trio looked at her with some confidence in their face. Something about those looks doesn't make Kate feel any better, and she saw her Pachirisu within a cage that was held by Meowth. "So, you think you're all strong. Well, take this! Go Seviper!" Jessie exclaimed, tossing out her poke ball as the said Pokemon emerged from its ball."You too Weezing! Help Seviper out!" James called out his poke ball as well. The 2 Pokemons were heading towards Kate slowly, which made the whole situation a turn around. She scanned the area for any wild Pokemons, but there was non. "C'mon, where is help when I need one?" Kate grumbled, looking left and right as she backed up slowly."Weezing! Use Smoke Screen!" James commanded, which his Pokemon did as it was told. It sprayed a cloud of smoke, blinding Kate as she couldn't see anything thanks to the black fog."Seviper! Use Iron Tail!" a voice call out. Kate didn't know where it was coming from, but she prepared herself for the impact. But the impact didn't come, and the reason was because Seviper hit the floor below Kate. This had made the floor even weaker, thus breaking apart. This had Kate by surprise as she felt down the hole before barely hanging onto the edges of the floor with her right hand. She looked down and was dreaded of what was below her. There were jagged edges of floorboards facing upwards, which was from the floorboards that had broken down by Seviper's Iron Tail below her. If she fell, then it would be the end for her and she could never see her Pachirisu and Kellyn ever again."Awesome, now let's go!" Jessie said as she returned her Seviper into its Poke ball. The ran passed Kate and back down the hallway, leaving her in the predicament of not falling down onto the jagged edges.Espy was at the entrance when she saw 3 figures ran down the stairs and towards her. "Halt! You 3 shall be arrested by me! So no funny business," Espy stated, in her fighting stance as she got ready to take out the grunts with her capturer in her hand. Her partners, Umbreon, Absol and Vulpix, stood behind her in case they needed to fight."I won't count on it. Your friend is in very deep trouble. And if you don't go and help her, then it will be more than injury you will be expecting," Jessie said in a cold voice. Espy wasn't buying it, but she somehow couldn't get the feeling that she was right. But if she somehow felt for it, then she not only lost the grunts but losing Kate's Pachirisu as well. She took a gamble and just let them pass."Shadow, follow them and find out where they are heading," Espy said, which her Umbreon nodded before chasing after the three grunts. Espy then went back into the mansion, the way Team Rocket came from. Her partners were close behind as they hurriedly tried to find Kate.Kate was still trying to hang onto the edge of the floor. She tried to climb out, but the sound of the creaking didn't sound good, as well as her arms starts to hurt. Her hand was now slipping from the edge, as she fought to grab the edge with her other hand. But there was nothing else for her to grab on as held on for life. "Somebody! Help!" Kate yelled out, but it was too late as her hand had slipped from the board.Kate felt the feeling of lightness as her world slowly move. She was falling to her death and she regretted not having to save her partner, Pachirisu. She closed her eyes and ready to leave the world when she felt something around her, like the move Physic. Kate flustered her eyes open before realising that it was Espy who came and rescue her. Her Absol quickly move her out of the hole before gently placing her on the floor. "Good job Ax," Espy said, which Ax nodded as she went towards Kate."Hey, are you alright?" Espy asked as went down to check on Kate's condition. Kate just simply hugged her, which caught Espy off guard. She then returned the hugged, not knowing what else to do since Kate was still clinging onto her. It took a few minutes before Kate had broke the hug."Thank you so much for saving me back there," Kate said, as tears of joy was visible on her face."Don't mention it," Espy said as they both got up."So, where did those three went? I want a piece of them for doing this to me," Kate said, as she was furious about what had happened. She clenched her hands into a fist, thinking about how to get even with them."They had escaped when I came to check on you, and it's a good thing I came too," Espy stated.Instead of being mad at Espy, Kate instead thanks her for helping her out of a dangerous situation. "Now let's get them!" she yell before they ran down the the hallway and out the mansion, with a newly drive energy in their system. They were back in the forest, heading towards the town when a shriek was heard throughout the island. The Rangers realised what was happening as they quicken their pace.Once they exited the forest, they saw that Team Rocket was tying the girls arms to one of the rusted light pole. "Hey! Stop that!" Kate called out to them, which caught Team Rocket out of surprise."Drat, it's those Rangers again," Jessie exclaimed."Let's just get out of here," Meowth stated as they ran down the pathway."Shadow! Stop them!" Espy called out, but nothing happened. She tried to contact her partner by looking into her phone that shows the location of her 3 partners. She saw that her Umbreon was moving as well, but the same way the three grunts were running when she realised what had happened. Somehow, her partner was captured as well by the trio. "Did they seriously captured my partner as well?!" Espy exclaimed as she started chasing them while Kate unbind the trainer's arms."Thank you, but those jerks stole my Pokemons," the girl said as she rub her wrist from the bind."We're on it, don't worry," Kate reassured her as they began running the way Espy went.Once the trio was at the beach, Meowth took out a control with a few buttons on it. He pressed one of the button before a huge Magikarp appeared out of the ocean and landed on the beach. The mouth opened to reveal that it was a submarine. Espy stopped to see that they had escaped into their Magikarp submarine. "Ugh! There is no way you three are escaping me!" she yelled at them as the submarine began to dive into the ocean."Espy! Over here!" Kate called out to her, standing on the dock platform. Espy nodded, heading over to the platform as both Kate and the trainer entered Kate's boat. Espy soon joined them, jumping onto the deck as Kate start up the engine before pulling out of the docks and out into the ocean."Where did they go?" Kate asked as Espy took out her device. It showed that they were right in track of the three grunts, heading towards the 3rd island."Just straight ahead!" Espy exclaimed."Got it," with that, Kate floored the boat to its max speed. Espy noticed that Kate was more than pissed, and to cool things off, she wanted to meet the trainer. She headed over to the girl, who sat on one of the seat in silence, not looking happy at all. She took a seat beside the trainer and tries her best to comfort her, even though she was horrible at it. But she had to try to help the girl out. Espy took note about what the girl was wearing, a green bandanna, a sleeveless dress that reach just above her thighs, a pair of black bike shorts, a pair of gloves with green cutting and a pair of sneakers to travel around. Her brown hair reach just above her shoulder."Erm, hey, my name is Espeon, but you can call me Espy. The driver is Kate, a Top Ranger. Don't worry, we will get your Pokemons back, we promise. And can I know your name?" Espy started off, which she had to admit, she went much better than she expected.The girl looked at her, a little sad, but somehow wasn't crying at all. "Nice to meet you Espy, my name is Daisy, I'm a trainer from the Sinnoh region. I was on my way to visit Unova to grab some stuff for my best friend," Daisy stated."So, what were you doing on the island?" Espy asked, trying to find out whether did Team Rocket shot her down or did she came to the island by accident."My friend had lend me his Empoleon to travel to Unova region. We stop at the island for some rest, since we had been travelling for quite some time. While we were walking around the island, those 3 jerks stole mine as well as my friend's Pokemon," Daisy explained, clenching her fist as she looked down, looking at the floor as her hair covered her eyes."Like I said, we will get them back," Espy reassured as Daisy look back at her."Alright," she replied, her voice a little rusty from crying a little. Espy can't blame her, from what she's been through. Even though it was just it wasn't a long time ago, she could tell that Daisy cared about her Pokemons."Espy, the 3rd island is in our sight! Get ready to use the sonic sound to find the submarine," Kate called out as the island was visible. Espy nodded as she went towards a big screen, opposite of the seat she and Daisy were sitting.Espy went over the controls, and remembered what does the buttons and switches worded. She read the user manual back at her Ranger school about the functions of the controls. She switch the device on, before the screen lit up to show what was under the boat. And right on the screen, the Magikarp submarine was there, moving across the ocean. "Kate, they are right below us," Espy called out."Good, use the EMP to fry their circuitry on my signal," Kate stated, keeping an eye on the distance between the boat and the island.Inside the submarine, the trio were cycling their way through the ocean, celebrating their win. "I can't wait to be promoted!" Jessie exclaimed."Yeah, and not to mention gifts for da boss!" Meowth said, from behind James."And nothing else could go wrong from here!" James stated as they laughed about their soon to be victory."Now!" Kate exclaimed, which Espy nodded before hitting the 'Fire' button, which sent out an EMP shot at the submarine.The submarine's circuitry was later fried up as the monitor and the lighting system went haywire. This made the trio confused and scared the same time. "What is happening, Meowth?" Jessie asked, as she kept paddling the rotary."I don't know, but we need to resurface soon," Meowth stated as there was a small explosion coming from his left side of his seat."There's a land nearby, let's head there," James suggested, which they pedal towards the island."Kate, we got them, they are heading towards the island," Espy informed her."Good, now let's get our Pokemons back and arrest these jerks," Kate stated as she floored the boat.Meanwhile, on the island, Jessie, James and Meowth had barely landed on the island as the submarine they were in exploded. But the stolen Pokemons were still in their hands, and were now thinking of a way back to their base."Hold it right there, and don't think about running this time!" Espy called out, she, along with Kate, Daisy and her Pokemons surrounded the trio. "Now hand over the stolen Pokemons and come in silently," Kate warned them, as she got ready her capturer.The island was filled with wild pokemons, which they had the advantage. Kate and Espy could call in any type of Pokemons, depending on what type both Jessie and James called out. "We won't hand over these Pokemons, so prepare to get taken out by us! Go Seviper!" Jessie exclaimed as she tossed out her Pokemon."You too, Weezing!" James tossed out his, as his Pokemon emerged from its poke ball.Kate made note that Seviper is a Poison type, and it's weak against Ground and Physic type. She already spotted the right Pokemon type as she aim her capturer into the sky. "Capture on!" she called out, firing her capturer into the sky, and thanks to her adjustment on her gear, she had managed to get the Flygon flying high above.It then flew down towards her, before landing beside Kate, ready to fight. "Seviper, use Poison Fang!" Jessie commanded, which her Pokemon attacked."Flygon, use DragonBreath to take out it out, and use Rock Tomb to take out the Seciper," Kate instructed, doing as it was told, taking out Seviper's attack before slamming into the ground, as rocks starts falling onto the snake Pokemon. It was a one-hit knock out, as its eyes had swirls in them. jessie cursed under her breath as she recalled her fainted Pokemon."Weezing, it's all up to you, use Smog!" James commanded as his Weezing starts spraying our a purple fog from its mouth."Flygon, use Whirlwind to blow the smog away!" Kate instructed."Ax, use Confusion on it after Flygon has taken out the smog," Espy called out.Once the Smog was cleared, Espy's Absol used Comfusion to take out the Weezing by slamming it into the ground a few times, knocking it out. James had to recall his Pokemon as well, since they were out match and Meowth was somehow got hit by Confusion as well, as he had swirly in his eyes."And Flygon, Dragon Claw on them!" with that, Flygon used its claw before swiping at the trio before an explosion erupted. This made the three flew high into the sky, leaving the stolen Pokemon back on land."Great, we gone to all that trouble and we still didn't get anything," Jessie stated, completely miserable."Not to mention, our boss won't be happy about this," James added."We're blasting off again!" with that, they disappeared into the sky.Back on the island, the smoke had cleared off and their Pokemons had been freed. Kate had thanked Flygon as it flew away before she went over to her caged Pachirisu. She used a small pin to unlock the padlock, which she succeeded as Pachirisu quickly jumped out of the cage and onto Kate's shoulder. "It's good to have you back too, Pachi," Kate smiled at her Pokemon, happy that she got her partner back."Thank you so much for helping me out!" Daisy exclaimed, as the Pokemons was returned to her, as well as her friend's Pokemon."Though, those three had escaped. I will catch up to them," Espy stated as she pat her Umbreon's head."Well then, do you need a lift?" Kate asked, pointing at the boat."Nah, it's alright, I can use Umbreon's Teleport to teleport me to Sinnoh to continue searching for them. Anyway, thanks for helping me save Shadow. Maybe we'll meet again." with that, Espy and her Pokemons disappeared in flash of dark purple light.Kate looked over at Daisy, who was looking out into the ocean. "Hey, want a ride to Unova? I'm heading there," Kate suggested."Sure, there's where I'm going," Daisy agreed.Kate laughed about it as she and Daisy walked to the boat, getting ready to depart for Unova region. She can't believe that it took her faster than expected to reach Unova, since the sun was starting to set. Not to mention that she made 2 new friends along the way. She wondered would she even meet any more people? One way to find out...
