.: TV Tokyo :.
Satoshi runs to the Masamitsu's office.

Satoshi: "Masamitsu! Something weird is going on!"

Satoshi opens the door and finds Masamitsu's office in wrecks.

Satoshi: "Who did this?"
Voice: "I did."

Satoshi turns around after hearing the voice. He sees no one in the office.

Satoshi: "Strange..."

.: Pok�mon Center :.
May: "Masato! Where are you?"
Ash: "He's gone?!?"

May screams. Brock fades away. May collapses. Ash holds her up.

May: "They're both gone!"

.: TV Tokyo :.

Satoshi holds his hand and swishes it, making the incantation: "Priori Statem!" making the room normal and exposing the voice's source. A dark shadow stands swirling around the room.

Satoshi (hand at the shadow): "Teleportious!"

The dark Shadow disappears. Some footsteps are heard as Toshio comes with Masamitsu. Toshio has Masamitsu walking towards the office with his hand supporting Masamitsu, apparently both have been ambushed.

.: Pok�mon Center :.

Ash and May run out of the Pok�mon Center. The entire town is filled with people, but the Pok�mon Center they stood looked newer. It didn't have a few cracks that were notably visible. In fact, the entire town was old looking.

May: "Where are we?"
Ash: "Look. Those people are using apricorns!"

Person (to another person): "You won't win!"
Other Person: "Oh yeah?"

The person throws an apricorn and a Pok�mon comes out. The Pok�mon is strange looking, braille for it's eyes, a crystal ice body.

Ash: "What's that?" (holds Pok�Dex)
Pok�Dex: Regice. Pok�Dex data has not been loaded for this Pok�mon.
Ash hears someone else reading data from a book.
May: "We are at a time that Pok�Dexes weren't invented!"

Other Person: "Jake you have absolutely no chance of beating me!"
Jake: "We'll see about that Keith!"
Keith: "Go! Blaziken!"
The person reading the Pok�mon book looks at Keith.
Person: "Keith! You know that Regice can't be defeated with a Blaziken!"
Keith: "I'll beat it no worries, Kate."
Kate: "But..."
Keith: "Blaziken! Blaze Kick!"

A news paper comes in front of Ash. Ash reads it and is shocked.

Ash: "November 27th 1937?!?"
May: "What?"
Ash: "We've gone more than 70 years back in time!"

.: TV Tokyo :.
Toshio: "There are... dark... shadows... protruding... the... studio..."
Masamitsu: "They are adding different scenes to the show..."

They both collapse. Satoshi gets his mobile and dials. Shigeru Miyamoto appears on-screen.

Shigeru: "Have you seen what's happening on the anime, Satoshi?"
Satoshi: "I'm aware of it..."
Shigeru: "Was the turning back time your idea?"
Satoshi: "No."
Shigeru: "Hmmm..."

Shigeru appears right next to him. They perform an incantation: "Timeutus!" and the studio is back to normal. Toshio and Masamitsu are healed, and the main TV Tokyo building is normal.

Shigeru: "Where on earth did those shadows come from?"
Satoshi: "I dunno."

Toshio holds a remote and edits out the small scene.

.: Kaikoren City : 1937 :.

Keith's Blaziken loses to Jake's Regice.
Jake: "Who won? Me."
Ash (to May): "That kid is strong..."

Jake appears to hear Ash, as he turns around.

Jake (asking Ash): "Are you a trainer?"
Ash: "Yeah."
Jake: "Well I think I'm just about to beat you."
Ash: "We'll see!"

Ash's Pikachu runs out of the Pok�mon Center.

Ash: "Pikachu!"

Pikachu runs up to Ash. They start playing around, and then Pikachu is sent into battle.

Jake: "Espeon! Go!"

Jessie, James, and Meowth sit on the Pokemon Center roof.
James: "What happened?"
Meowth: "I don't know. One minute we were spying on the twerp, the next we are here."
Jessie: "Quit worrying about that and concentrate on capturing Pikachu and this other kid's rare Pokemon."
Meowth: "Once the battle is over we will bring in the Mega-WobbuWarrior MKII and steal their Pokemon."
Jessie: "Right."
James: "One problem: It didn't get brought here and we spent all our money on it."
Wobbufett: "Wobbufett!"

Ash: "Pikachu Thunderbolt!"
Jake: "Use your Psychic!"
Pikachu is lifted into the air but still uses Thunderbolt severly damaging Espeon, making it drop Pikachu hurting it also.

~~Some random building in Kaikoren~~
???: "With my new invention I will finally be able to rule TV Tokyo and overthrow Satoshi. Mwahahahahahahahahahaha!!! Then I Shadow will be the master of all Pokemon! Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

.: TV Tokyo :.

Satoshi: "So was he behind those shadows?"
Shigeru: "Only one way to find out."
Satoshi: "You mean?"
Toshio: "Shadow is back - we have to stop him from attempting to get out of the barrier that seperates our world from his."
Satoshi: "It's pretty risky..."

Satoshi has a flashback of what happened a few months ago.

Giovanni: "Oh it's not really contolling any more..."
Brock: "What do you mean?"
Giovanni: "Well now with a little chip that I shot at the asteroid, now I can control it's moves."
Ash: "Where would you plan to move it to?"

Giovanni presses a button. A cage falls on Ash and his friends.

Giovanni: "It's all about the Cave of Origin."
May: "No not the Cave of Origin! You can't destroy that landmark!"
Giovanni: "Well I would like it if Hoenn flooded. If Hoenn floods, Johto floods. If Johto floods, Kanto floods, and so do the Orange Islands. Then... we have access to every area around the world!"
May: "I would NOT prefer to live in Japan! You are so evil!"

Satoshi: "That's what happened."
Shigeru: "Whoa! Is that true?"
Satoshi: "It is..."

.: Kaikoren City : 2003 :.

Brock: "Where are they?"
Masato: "I don't know... this town is really creepy... we've been wondering for hours..."
Brock: "They probably disappeared..."
Masato: "Well we are definitely in Kaikoren City..."

.: Kaikoren Town : 1937 :.

Jake: "Espeon! Psychic attack!"
Ash: "Pikachu! Thunder!"

Thunder is sent at Espeon paralyzing it. But the Psychic attack hits Pikachu and sends it slam onto a wall.

Ash: "Finish it off with a Quick Attack and a Thunderbolt!"

Pikachu's attack faints the Espeon.

Ash: "Yeah!"

May looks around.

May: "Ash? Does this place look like what you wanted to be at?"
Ash: "Jake, is this the 1937 Trainer Convention?"
Jake: "It sure is."

Ash and May look at each other.

~~Old House in Kaikoren 1937~~
Shadow: "My plan is working perfectly. First I let those losers know about a trainer convention that happened 70 years ago in a town which is now abandoned. Then once they reach it I send the most annoying of them to the past for the convention. While in the present I sabotage TV Tokyo. Now for the next step, sign up Team Rokcet Executives in the tournament to make people fear us in the past so we will rule them in the future. We will also eliminate that twerp in the convention. Hehehehehe."

~~Outside the house~~
James: "Did you hear that?"
Meowth: "What do we do?"
Jessie: "We are in the past so the restraining order hasn't been issued yet so we can enter the tournament and get a promotion and finally capture that Pikachu!"
James and Meowth: "Right!"
Wobbufett: "Wobbufett!"

~~Kaikoren 2003~~
Masato: "This is very strange."
Brock: "Wait a minute. The date on my guidebook is 1936! Someone switched my guidebook with this old one!"
Masato: "So the convention happened 70 years ago?!?!"
???: "I'm afraid so."
Masato: "Who are you?"
Brock: "Its Gary! What are you doing here?"
Gary: "Well the title is "Equal Rivals" so I thought I'd show up. Where is Ash?"
Brock: "Him and May disapeared."
Gary: "Who is May?"
Masato: "My sister!"
Gary: "What happened to that other girl?"
Brock: "She left."

~~Kaikoren 1937~~
Jake: "You're pretty good Ash. You should enter the Traners Convention tournament."
Ash: "OK I will."
Jake: "What about you May?"
May: "Well I don't really battle that well. I train for Pokemon Contests instead."
Jake: "Well they have a division for that too."
May: "OK I'm in."

~~Across the street~~
Man: "Well they all seem to have decent Pokemon."
Woman: "And thanks to research we know which each trainer has and how often they use each Pokemon and the Pokemon's strength."
Man: "Well we better go sign up so we can take those Pokemon."
The man and the woman walk towards the Pokemon Center.

.: Kaikoren City (Pok�mon Trainer's Convention Tournament Registration Office) : 1937 :.

Ash: "I'd like to enter the Pok�mon Trainer Convention."
Lady: "Sure. I just need you to fill in these details on this form."

http://users.tpg.com.au/lafamily/untitled.jpg

Ash: "Done!"
Jake: "Good. The tournament starts in a few days so we need to train."
Kay: "Why don't you spend the few nights in the Pok�mon Center and train tomorrow and the rest of the days?"
Ash: "Yeah I am pretty tired..."

.: Kaikoren City : 2003 :.

Masato: "Look at that piece of paper lying on the ground!"
Brock: "What would we want with a piece of paper?"

http://users.tpg.com.au/lafamily/rippedform.jpg

Masato: "Ash's name is in it..."
Brock: "Can that mean that those two have traveled back in time to 1937?"

Omega-Brendan

September 23rd, 2003, 09:24 AM

Masato: Possibly

Brock: Ok, so lets contact someone that knows the history of Hoenn.

Masato: That would be my Grandpa, he is the Hoenn league Petalburg City gym leader, but it didn't mean anything, only Kanto was a league back then.

Hiroshi Sotomura

September 23rd, 2003, 06:36 PM

Brock: "Oh really?"
Masato: "I don't know really."
Brock: "Hoenn was a league a longer whole back then anybody thinks."
Gary: "It's been legend that Kaikoren was home to some legendary Pok�mon."

Brock gets his guidebook.

Brock: "According to the 2003 guidebook, Kaikoren was abandoned in 1970, when a Pok�mon that was rumored to live in the craters of the volcanoes nearby..." (points to a volcano that has smoke hovering over it) "...made lava burst out of the holes of the volcano, lava spreading everywhere.
It was going to be known that this happened, and so the townspeople evacuated the town in 1967, when the last trainer convention was held..."

~~Kaikoren 1937~~
May: "Ash it says here that in the tournament preliminaries you can only use 1 Pokemon per battle. Then in the quarter-final you can use 3. Then the semi-final is a 2 on 2 battle and then the winning team battles each other using 6 Pokemon and the winner of that battle moves onto the finals were 6 Pokemon are used in each battle."
Ash: "Sounds like fun!"

~~Outside the Pokemon Center~~
Jessie: "So how are we going to enter? Are we entering seperately?"
James: "I only have Cacnea..."
Jessie: "Use Meowth then."
James: "But I need 3 for the quarter-finals..."
Meowth: "Why don't you two enter together?"
James: "We can't due to the 2 on 2 battle."
Meowth: "Then give me all of your Pokemon."
Jessie and James: "No way!"
Meowth: "Wait a minute. Jessie why don't you use Dustox for the Pokemon Contest?"
Jessie: "I didn't know there was one... Sounds like a plan though."
Jessie gives James Wobbufett and Seviper and they run inside to sign up.

.: Day 4 : After Training : Trainer Convention Main Room : 1937 :.

Jessie: "Doesn't it look beautiful?"

Jessie thinks she made a masterpiece out of Dustox; it is covered with ribbons, makeup and ties.

James: "It looks horrendous!"
Meowth: "It looks weird."
Jessie: "WHAT?!?!?"

Jessie turns around and spots some berries being put into an ordinary blender.

James: "Look at the way they make berries in this time!"
Jessie: "It doesn't require pushing a button like 100 times at least..."

A lady plops a Sitrus Berry, a Tomato Berry, an Oran berry and a Kelpsy berry into the blender.

Lady: "And now start blending..."

The blender turns the berries into some squshy mixed fruit.

Lady: "Then I put some of this in..."

The lady then gets some special ingredients, then she mixes the berry solid-liquid into it and it becomes one big ball which she turns into a flat square, which she cuts them and creates Pok�Block-eqivalents.

Jessie: "Ummm... excuse me..."
Lady: "Yes?"
Jessie: "Are there any CUTE-improving Pok�Blocks in there?"
Lady: "Well I don't what Pok�Blocks are, we call them berry blocks, but yes, about a big stock of them. Take a few!"

The lady hands a small bag of the little berrie cubes. Jessie walks over to James and Meowth.

Jessie: "Wow there are about 50 of these blocks!"
James: "Give them to Dustox!"

Jessie feeds Dustox a few. Jessie notices it significantly gets cuter.

Jessie: "Now have one more..."

Dustox makes an expression appearing like it doesn't want to eat anymore.

James: "I think it's cute enough."

.: Day 4 : After Practice : Trainer Convention Practice Room : 1937 :.

Ash: "The convention starts in 4 hours..."
May: "It's 10:00 in the morning... it should start at 2:00 then!"
Ash: "Are you excited?"
May: "Yeah! Why not?"
Ash: "Doesn't it last for 5 days?"
May: "According to this... yes."
Ash: "We should get back to the year 2003 soon..."
Jake: "I know how."

Ash turns to see Jake standing in front of him.

Jake: "So it's true... you aren't from here."
Ash: "Is there a way?"
Jake: "I can't tell you now, until after the convention."
Ash: "Yeah I was thinking you'd say that."
Jake: "Well... wish you luck at the tournaments!"
Ash: "Thanks. I hope we eventually battle each other!"
Jake: "I'd look forward to that too! Well I should be going."
Ash: "See you in 4 hours!"

And with that, Jake walks off.

Ash: "May I will need 6 Pokemon for the finals. And since the Contests and the Battles take place at different times could I borrow Torchic and Beautifly?"
May: "Sure thing Ash. I'll make sure they listen to you."

~~Stadium 1~~
Rocket Exec.: "I'm in the first battle...Who is my opponent?" *checks tournament bracket* "Its that kid Shadow wants us to defeat! Ash Ketchup or something like that. Now I can get my raise by defeating him."

~~Main Room~~
Meowth: "According to the tournament bracket, your in the second to last battle James. And your opponent is some guy named Tyson."
James: "Why does that name sound familiar?"
Jessie: "Well it can't be anyone we know since we are in the past. When is my Pokemon Contest."
Meowth: "Go pick up one of those schedules over there."
Jessie picks up a Contest Schedule and reads it.
Jessie: "According to this we have to pass qualifying rounds with 3 out of the 5 judges. I have a qualifying round with Judge 2 at 2:30, right after the first battle. And that twerp girl has one with the same judge at 5:30, 3 hours after me."
James: "Well you have less time to prepare so I'll help you with Dustox!"
Meowth: "And I'll go spy on the competition!"
Meowth walks away and Jessie and James get to work on giving Dustox a full body make-over.

~~Abandoned House~~
Lady: "Shadow, sir. Here is the tournament bracket."
Shadow: "So Ash is in the first battle. I will need a disguise so I can watch and not be recognized. My battle is last and I see they used my fake name. And my opponent is some weak girl that lives here. Leave now so i can work on my disguise!"
Lady: "Yes sir."
The lady leaves and Shadow sits and thinks of a disguise.

Montana: "So he's been gone for months?"
Sabrina: "Disappeared apparently..."

Sabrina's mom: "Shadow was thought to be staying at Wattson's gym... apparently he got out..."

.: Day 4 : Trainer Convention Preliminaries: 1:30 PM : 1937 :.

Ash: "I can't wait until the match starts."

.: Day 4 : Secret Building : 1937 :.

Shadow: "Well this looks quite identity-sheilding."

Shadow disguises himself with a wig, the same clothes worn by cooltrainers seen in 2003 and a pair of shades.

.: Day 4 : Just before Round 1 : Trainer Center : 1:45 PM : 1937 :.
Ash: "According to this i've got a battle with a guy named Dain."
May: "My one is from a girl named Jen."
Ash: "Wish you luck."
May: "According to this if I pass, my opponent is... YOU!"
Ash: "Wha? Wish you luck in contest division then! You'll need it!"
May: "Oh really? Did YOU train for contests?"

.: Day 4 : Running to the stadium : 1:55 PM : 1937 :.

Shadow: "I guess when I battle I'll have my Seviper... what else did I bring? Never mind... need to get to the stadium..."

Shadow runs towards the stadium where Ash and the Rocket Member Dain are battling.

September 27th, 2003, 01:32 PM

~~Main Stadium (Stadium 1)~~
Announcer: "Welcome one and all to the Kaikoren 1937 Trainer Convention. Here comes the runner with Entei's flame to light the torch."
The runner lights the torch and fireworks go up into the air. Then a curtain falls down and reviels a giant tournament bracket.
Announcer: "Will the first two battlers please proceed to the battle field."
Ash and Dain walk down to the field. Pikachu follows Ash to the field.
Referee: "Dain call in the air. Heads or tails."
The referee flips a coin.
Dain: "Heads."
The coin lands on tails.
Referee: "Its tails. Ash do you wish to go first or second?"
Ash: "Second."
Referee: "Dain goes first then."

Dain: "Go! Hypno!"
Ash: "Go Treecko!"
Announcer: "Dain has chosen Treecko and Dain has chosen Hypno."
Referee: "Begin!"
Dain: "Hypno! Dynamic Punch!"
Ash: "Trecko dodge and use Slam!"
Hypno tries to punch Treecko but Treecko jumps up and whacks Hypno with its tail. Hypno gets knocked back a few feet but isn't too hurt.
Announcer: "And the battle has begun. Both Pokemon seem to be very strong and well-trained."
Dain: "Hypnosis now!"
Hypno: "Hypno. Hypno Hypno Hypno...."
Hypno uses Hypnosis and makes Treecko fall asleep.
Ash: "Treecko wake up!"
Announcer: "Uh oh. Treecko is asleep. If it doesn't wake up soon it could be in for some trouble. And if it doesn't wake up within 15 minutes it is out of the battle according to the tournament rules."

Shadow is sitting right next to May in the stands.
Shadow: " (thinking)I bet they are expecting Dain to use the old Hypnosis Dream Eater combo. I know he has a better combo then that. Hehehe..."
May: "Go Ash! You can do it!"
Shadow: "He must be your friend."
May: "Yeah, I'm May and he is Ash."
Shadow: "I'm Marco. Are you entered in the tournament?"
May: "I'm entered in the Pokemon Contest division."
Shadow: "Ah. I am in the last preliminary battle."

Jessie and James are sitting on the other side of the stands.
Jessie: "The twerp may actually lose this."
James: "If he does lose Dain will get all the credit and we will still be losers in the boss's eye."
Jessie: "So we need to hope the twerp wins all his battles until he battles you."
James: "Right. Hey where is Meowth?"
Jessie: "He said he was going to be running some buisness during the tournament when he wasn't spying on people."

Ash: "Treecko wake up!"
Treecko just lays there asleep.
Narrator: "What will Ash do if Treecko doesn't wake up? Will Dain win and get a promotion? What is Meowth doing? Also so you know, I am not the same narrator as usual, I am his grandfather. This is 70 years in the past you know."

Hiroshi Sotomura

September 27th, 2003, 06:15 PM

Dain: "Hypno! Nightmare!"
Announcer: "What's this? Hypno is casting a mysterious shadow into Treecko!"

Treecko shakes around.

Announcer: "It seems to be having nightmares in it's sleep!"
Dain: "Now! Dream Eater!"
Announcer: "Dain's Hypno is now using the known combo of a hypnosis-Dream Eater."

Hypno drains energy from Treecko.

Announcer: "Every turn Hypno gets HP from Treecko... and ads to it's own... but what's this?!? Yes. Treecko's eyes are open!"

A gushing roar fills the stadium.
Shadow gets a special device.

Shadow: "What's this?!? Hypno wasn't getting any energy from Treecko at all!"
Ash: "Treecko! Slam!"

Treecko's Slam hits Hypno and Hypno lies there...

Announcer: "On the count of 3... 2... 1... AND DAIN IS OUT! ASH IS THE WINNER AND MAY NOW PROCEED TO ROUND 2!"

Ash cheers to himself.

Jake: "Great Job."
Ash: "Thanks. Wish you luck when you go!"

.: Day 4 : Kaikoren City : 2003 :.

Satoshi: "You're here!"
Masato: "What are you doing here Mr. Tajiri?"
Satoshi: "Well it seems Ash and May have gone back in time."
Brock: "Are you going to get him back?"
Satoshi: "No. He seems to be having fun. By the way I've seen someone say he'll bring him back here..."
Brock: "Good. So they'll be back soon."

~~Masamitsu's Office at TV Tokyo~~
Masamitsu: "Ash needs six Pokemon for thw finals. I'll get his Pokemon that are at Oak's lab for him."
Masamitsu leaves his office.

~~Kaikoren Substadium 2 (1937)~~
Judge 2: "OK Jessie and Agatha. You two will have to have a battle to pass my test and go on to the Contest Finals."
Jessie: "Go Dustox!"
Dustox has red bows on its head and wings.
Agatha: "Go Misdreavus!"
Misdreavus has a blue bow on its head and its necklace is very shiny.
Judge 2: "Begin the battle!"
Agatha: "Misdreavus Psybeam now!"
Jessie: "Dustox counter with your Psybeam!"
The Psybeams collide causing a large explosion.

~~In the audience~~
May: "Is that Jessie?"
Ash: "And that lady looks like Agatha, one of the Elite Four."
May: "According to this her name is Agatha and it is Jessie!"
Ash: "So Jessie must have gotten brought back in time with us. I wonder if James and Meowth are here too."
May: "Probably"
Shadow walks up to them.
Shadow: "Oh you are here too. I was sitting down here and I saw you so I'd thought I'd come and say hi."
Ash: "Who are you?"
May: "He is Marco. I met him during your last battle."
Ash: "Oh hi there. Nice to meet you."
Shadow: "Its a pleasure to meet the first winner of the contest. I beleive the way teh bracket is set up that if we both reach the semi-finals that we will work together."
Ash: "But to let you know that if we do make it that far I will be the one entering the finals."
Shadow: "We will see."

~~Other side of the stands~~
James: "Go Jessie! Go!"
Wobbufett: "Wobbufett!"
Meowth: "Go Dustox and Jessie! We're rooting for you!"
James: "Where did you come from?"
Meowth: "I didn't want to miss Jessie's qualifying round so I closed the shop for a bit."
James: "What kind of shop do you have anyway?"
Meowth: "I've been selling Team Rocket paraphenlia and handing out free Team Rocket pamphlets since Shadow's plan here is to spread the word of Team Rocket early on. Some people here are really interested."
James: "Ooooo."
Wobbufett: "Wobbu Wobbu!"

~~Judge's table~~
Judge2: "Ooo what marvelous Psybeam attacks. They were so cool."

~~Battle Area~~
Jessie (thinking): Cool huh? Thats it. There are 5 judges and 5 different kinds of contests. Each judge must like one kind of contest type. He must like cool stuff. Hehehe. This will make things easier...
Agatha: "Misdreavus! Use Shadow Ball!"
Jessie: "Use Whirlwind to knock it back!"
Misdreavus throws a Shadow Ball at Dustox but Dustox blows it back hurting Misdreavus.

Judge2: "Nice."
The judge scribbles something down on his clipboard.

Jessie: (thinking) This will be easier then I thought.
Agatha: "Pain Split"
Jessie: "Confusion!"
Dustox confuses Misdreavus casuing it to mess up Pain Split making it hurt itself. The crowd laughs at Misdreavus's funny expression it has due to confusion.
Jessie: "Finish it with Psybeam!"
Dustox fires a Psybeam at Misdreavus knocking its bow off and causing it to faint.

Judge 2: "Now don't pout Agatha. The battle isn't judge solely on who faints. And the winner of the Cool Competition is Dustox!"
Agatha: "Cool?! But I signed up for Cute!"
Judge 2: "But I am the cool judge. Each judge bases his or her decision on their field of contest. The truw Cute Contest is in the finals. Don't worry you still have four other rounds to try and pass."

~~Outside the stadium~~
May: "Now I know I need to make it look cool for this judge."
Ash: "Yeah. Hey who is that running up to us?"
Masamitsu: "Ash! I'm glad I found you!"
Ash: "What are you doing here?"
Masamitsu: "I brought you all your Pokemon from Oak to use during the tournament."
Ash: "Thanks!"
Pikachu: "Pika!"
Masamitsu disapears.
Ash: "Hey May. Let's go watch the next battle. It is taking place in 15 minutes in Main Stadium 1!"
May: "OK!"

~~Main Stadium 1 (14 minutes later)~~
Announcer: "And with the results of the Pokemon Contest Qualifying Rounds in it seems Jessie has beaten Agatha, Ronald has beaten Hermione, Miles has beaten Han, Kim has beaten Charles, and Sarah has beaten Chris. Division 2 results will come in after the 5:30 qualifying rounds take place. Now we will begin the next Pokemon Battle. Samuel against an anonymous person who goes by the nickname, The Iron Masked Marauder."

~~In the stands~~
James, Jessie, and Meowth: "The Iron Masked Marauder?!?!"
James: "What is he doing here?"
Jessie: "He must be one of the Execs Shadow brought with him!"
Meowth: "He's an Exec.?"
James: "I don't know."
Jessie: "And his opponent looks familiar too..."
Jessie, James and Meowth: "Its Prof. Oak!"

~~Other side of the stands~~
Ash: "Its that Team Rocket member who tried to steal Celebi! What is he doing here?"
May: "Whats a Celebi?"
Ash: "He must have Celebi again if he is back in the past."

~~Battle Area~~
Referee: "Its heads. Samuel do you wish to go first or second?"
Samuel: "Second!"
Iron Masked Marauder: "Go Sneasel!"
Samuel: "Sneasel is part Ice so I should use, Charmeleon go!"
Announcer: "We have a battle of a dark and ice Pokemon, Sneasel against a fire Pokemon, Charmeleon. Will Charmeleon win do to its advantage? Or will Sneasel overcoem that and win?"
Referee: "BEGIN!"
May: "What is Celebi?"
Ash: "And his opponent is Prof. Oak as a kid!"
May: "Prof. Oak? Man he is old...."

(Out of story: LOL Ron and Hermione. I didn't even notice when I wrote that. I got the name Ronald because he is my friend and Hermione did come from looking around my room and seeing my HP books. I didn't mean to do that. lol)

Iron Masked Marauder: "Sneazel! Attack it with Shadow Ball!"
Sammy: "How on earth does it have Shadow Ball? Charmeleon repel it with a Flamethrower!"

The Shadow Ball bounces onto the flame, and it gets surrounded. Then the flame shadow ball comes back at Sneazel and hits it, making it badly injured.

Iron Masked Marauder: "Stand for a Snatch!"

Sneazel stands there.

Sammy: "A Snatch attack huh? I'd like to see it Snatch this! Charmeleon! Rest!"

Charmeleon tries to use Rest but instead Sneazel falls asleep.

Iron Masked Marauder: "No!"
Sammy: "Flamethrower!"
Announcer: "It looks like Sneazel is still asleep! It took the effects that Sammy's Charmeleon used!"
Sammy: "One more!"
Sneazel faints.

Referee: "Sneazel is unable to battle any longer! The battle goes to Sammy!"

~~In the Stands~~
Ash: "Wow Prof. Oak did great huh Marco?"
Shadow: "Yeah. That was an excellent battle."
Shadow's cell phone vibrates.
Shadow: "Please excuse me...I uhhhh have to use the restroom."
Shadow runs off.
Ash: "Now to get Celebi back from the Iron Masked Marauder!"
May: "What is Celebi!?!?!?!"

~~Outside the stadium~~
Iron Masked Marauder: "Shadow is going to kill me. He brought me back in time and even rigged the tournament for me to battle Oak and I lost. He wasn't even originally going to bring me."
Ash and May run up.
Ash: "Give back Celebi!"
Iron Masked Marauder: "I don't have it."
Ash grabs his dark balls.
Ash: "Then what are in these?"
Ash throws them. Sneasel, Scizor, and Tyranitar come out and the rest are empty.
Iron Masked Marauder: "I told you I didn't have it."
Tyranitar Hyper Beams Ash sending him flying.
May: *sigh* "I still don't know waht Celebi is...."
May runs after Ash who lands in front of the Pokemon Center.
A male Rocket Exec. walks up.
Exec.: "Shadow is displeased with your failure..."
Iron Masked Marauder: "I'm sory Kent. I will get that Oak."
Kent: "You better. Oh and Shadow demoted you."
Iron Masked Marauder: "What gives you the right to tell me I'm demoted?"
Kent: "I'm Rocket Exec. 2. I'm Shadow's assistant. Remeber in the first chain story?"
Iron Masked Marauder: "I wasn't in it..."

~~Abandoned House~~
Shadow: "Yes sir Giovanni. I have obtained one of the seven mythical jewels that were destroyed 30 years after this conference. Once we get them all we can rule the world. And my Talking Pokemon Pill is a success!"
Nidoking: "Yep and I ate the only one made."
Shadow: "And I left my notes in the future so I have to start from scratch...."
Giovanni: "I don't care about those stupid pills. Just start Team Rocket in the past and bring me those jewels."
Shadow: "Yes sir!"
Giovanni hangs up.
???: "Do you really think it will be that easy?"
Shadow: "How did you get here?"
???: "I am an expert at sneaking around and infiltrating high security places. I also know of something your looking for."
The boy pulls out a glowing red jewel.
Shadow: "Wha?"
???: "And I do beleive you do not want Ash and May knowing who you are or the town knowing that you are from the future..."
Shadow: "So what do you want?"
???: "I propose we work together and get these jewels and I join your little team."
Shadow: "Hmmm very well then."
???: "Its a deal then. I'm Keith. Pleased to meet you."
Keith hands Shadow the red jewel and Shadow opens a safe. Inside is a glowing green jewel the same size and shape as the red one. Shadow puts in the red jewel and shuts the safe.
Shadow: "So is my translation of the stone tablets correct. Is some super powerful Pokemon summoned that will obey they owner of the jewels when all 7 are collected?"
Keith: "In order to control the Pokemon you need a special jewel which isn't in this dimension."
Shadow: "Hmmm I'll just have to get that jewel then also."

Ash: "Ow..."
May: "C'mon Ash! Jake said he'd be battling in the second stadium!"

.: Day 4 : Second Stadium : 1937 :.
Kate: "Do you possibly think you can win?"
Jake: "Maybe."
Referee: "So Kate, you want to attack second, so the match will begin in 5... 4... 3..."

Ash and May get into some seats.

Referee: "2... 1... Let the battle begin!"
Jake: "Go! Typhlosion!"
Kate: "Go! Kingdra!"
Announcer: "Jake starts with a Typhlosion and Kate goes with a Kingdra!"
Jake: "Typhlosion! Thunderpunch!"
Announcer: "Thunderpunch lands on Kingdra but it's Dragon-type prevents Thunderpunch from landing as a very damaging hit."
Kate: "I thought you knew!"
Jake: "I did."
Kate: "Kingdra! Surf attack!"
Anouncer: "The surf attack hits Typhlosion, and it looks like it has drowned."

Jake has no expression on his face. He stands there.
Typhlosion, who is in the water filled field, has it's flame off, and swims to the shore.

Jake: "Good! Typhlosion! Thunderpunch!"

The thunderpunch lands in the water and shocks Kingdra, and produces double the damage in the water. Kingdra looks serverly damages, and floats helplessly above the water flatly.

Jake: "Yeah!"
Announcer: "A shocking strategy!"
Referee: "If Kingdra does not respod, the victory will go to Jake... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... VICTORY GOES TO JAKE!"

A roaring crowd fills the stadium.

Ash: "Yeah!"
May: "He did it!"

~~Pokemon Center (1937)~~
Kate: "Can you look after my Kingdra?"
Nurse Joy: "Sure."
A growling noise is heard.
Kate: "What was that?"
Ash who is next in line raises his hand.
Ash: "That was me. I haven't had anything to eat all day."
Nurse Joy: "You know that there is a free all you can eat buffet for all convention paticipants in the cafeteria here."
Ash: "Really!?!"
Nurse Joy: "Yes."

Ash runs off and passes May and Pikachu.
May: "Where is he running to?"
Pikachu: "Pika?"
May and Pikachu follow Ash who has already devoured two plates full of food. May and Pikachu's eyes light up when they see the food and the sign saying it is free for all participants and their Pokemon. They soon have full plates of food too.

~~Outside of the Pokemon Center (1937)~~
Sammy: "You did a good job today Charmeleon."
Charmeleon: "Char."
Sammy: "And that nice long rest at the Pokemon Cneter did you good."
Charmeleon: "Char."
Sammy: "And that food was great."
Charmeleon: "Char. Charmeleon."

Iron Masked Marauder: "Touching."
Sammy: "What do you want?"
Iron Masked Marauder: "I want revenge for you beating me all those times!"
Kent: "Uhhh the events with Celebi haven't happened yet. Wait a few years before he knows about it..."
Sammy: "So your just sore about losing? Charmeleon can handle any of your Pokemon!"
Iron Masked Marauder: "We'll see. Go Scizor! Double Team attack!"
Scizor creates many images of itself which surround Charmeleon.
Sammy: "Fire Spin!"
Charmelon shoots out fire which goes in a circle around it hitting all the Scizor, but they are all fakes and the real one is no where to be found.
Sammy: "Where'd it go?"

~~Inside the cafeteria~~
Kate: "Hey look there's a battle outside."
Ash: "Hey that's Sammy and the Iron Masked Marauder!"
May: "Didn't they battle each other not too long ago?"
Ash: "Let's go outside and see what's going on!"
Ash, May, Kate, Jake, Piakchu and several other trainers run outside.

~~Outside~~
Iron Masked Marauder: "Scizor! Metal Claw!"
Scizor comes flying down out of the sky headed for Charmeleon. Charmeleon sees it at the last minute and dodges. Scizor can't stop in time and gets its claw stuck in the ground.
Sammy: "Finish it with Fire Blast!"
Scizor frantically tries to get free but Charmeleon uses Fire Blast causing Scizor to faint.
Iron Masked Marauder: "If I can't beat that thing, I'll catch it! Dark Ball go!"
Sammy: "Iron Tail!"
Charmeleon whacks the Dark Ball back with its tail and the Dark Ball hits the Iron Masked Marauder knocking him into a tree.

Shadow: "You have failed too many times for your own good."
Ash: "That voice sounds familiar...."
Ash looks around and sees Shadow on the Pokemon Center's roof.
Ash: "You must have brought him here!"
Shadow: "So what?"
Ash: "You must have some sort of time machine."
Shadow (thinking): I can't let him know of my real plans yet so....
Shadow: "Yeah sure. I'll go with that...."
Nidoking: "Yeah a time machine. Hehehehe"
Trainer: "Hey that Nidoking talked!"
Kate: "That is strange..."
Shadow: "Oh yeah my latest Pokemon scientific advancement. Talking Pokemon Pills. But unfortunately there was only one which he ate.... Well anyway you can't stop me this time."
May: "You won't get away with this!"
Shadow: "We will see who won't get away from here alive. Hahahahaha."
Shadow and Nidoking disappear. The Iron Masked Marauder and his Pokemon run away.
Ash: "What is he up to this time."
May: "Well it can't be good if it includes time travel. He could do anything to alter the past."
Ash: "We must stop him!"
Pikachu: "Pika!"

Keith: "5 to collect!"
Kent: "And then..."

They all start laughing maniacally.

.: Pok�mon Center : 1937 :.

Ash, May, Kate, Jake, and Sammy gather at a table.

Ash: "They're planning something... if they alter time something bad will happen in our future..."
May (whispering to Ash): "If we do something harsh in front of Sammy here then Professor Oak might disappear from our time..."
Ash: "We need to devise something at them..."
Jake: "Well they can't be far..."
Kate: "Hem, hem... Jake I don't think you've introduced me to these friends of yours..."

Masato: "Cool!"
Gary: "Why not?"
Brock: "Why I think that would be good."
Satoshi: "Ok then!"

A circle of light with shapes of a moon and sun appear. They move anticlockwise around them, and then spins rapidly. The town around them changes - from the rocks in the town turning into lava, the lava being slurped into the volcano, a Groudon making earthquakes and jumping into the volcano, the sky turning clear, the people walking backwards into the village, then then past the last few trainer conventions... then to 1937...

.: Kaikoren City : 1937 :.

Masato: "There's Ash! In that Pok�mon Center!"
Brock: "That Nurse Joy there..."

Brock runs infatuated, towards the Pok�mon Center.

Satoshi: "Brock no!"

Brock slams hard onto the Pok�mon Center window. Hard enough for Ash to notice.

Ash: "Brock?"

Masato runs to pull Brock off the window.

May: "Masato!"

Kent: "So what do we have to do?"
Keith: "Easy. Get Team Blaze into a battle with Team Hydro, their rivals."
Shadow (thinking): Sounds like Team Aqua and Magma...
Shadow: "That's a plan but what about the 7th one?"
Keith: "Just wait and see."
Shadow: "OK. Let's plan how we are going to do this..."

~~Pokemon Center~~
Ash: "And that's what has happened so far...."
Masato: "Shadow must be stopped!"
Satoshi: "Just continue the tournament for now..."
Ash: "But..."
Satoshi: "Don't worry. Just have fun in the convention. You will get a chance to stop Sahdow after tyhe convention."
Ash: "Ok...If you say so..."
May: "So if you say we can continue then I'll have to go to my Contest Qualifying round in half an hour."
Satoshi: "Well here is a little gift from me."
Satoshi gives May a Gold Pokeblock.
Satoshi: "Well I must be going..."
Satoshi leaves. May sends out Beautifly and gives it the Gold Pokeblock.
Masato: "I hope you win the contest sis."
May: "Thanks Masato."
Nurse Joy walks up to them.
Nurse Joy: "Here is a list of the prizes of the convention."
She hands Ash and May a sheet of paper.
Nurse Joy: "And here is a bill."
She hands Brock and Masato a piece of paper.
Masato: "But I though it was free!"
Joy: "Only for the participants. Not for spectators."
Masato: "Brock. Can you apy her? I'm broke."
Brock: "I hope my love will pay the bill."

Ash: "It says here that first place in the tournament gets a million dollars and second place gets a mystery prize."
May: "And first place in the Contest gets a gold necklace and for them and their Pokemon. Second place gets a silver necklace."
Brock: "I wonder what the mystery prize is. I hope its Nurse Joy's love. Then I'd enter the tournament."
Masato: "I wonder what it is though...."

Masamitsu: "Do you really consider it wise for us to let him be at that tournament?"
Satoshi: "Well do you think I should go back?"
Masamitsu: "You should watch over them."
Satoshi: "Then I will."
Satoshi closes his eyes and disappears.

.: Kaikoren City : 1937 :.
Satoshi: "I should probably look like this."
Satoshi closes his eyes. He then transforms to make himself look younger, and changes his clothes to a dark blue-orange t-shirt, dark blue pants and a green cap.

.: Contest Arena : 1937 :.
May (talking to herself): The atmosphere here is so... huge... I've never come into a tournament like this... the air is so...

Ash: "Well May looks quite confident. Who will she be against? Jen is it?"
Masato: "I know my big sister will make mom and dad proud."
Satoshi: "I'm pretty sure they'll go mad knowing May has went back in time..."
Ash: "Huh? Who are you?"
Satoshi, apparently not looking like his own appearance, explains.
Satoshi: "Oh my name is Ken. You must be Ash."
Ash: "An honour to meet you."
Brock: "How do you know about time travel?"
Satoshi: "I study chronology and time."
Ash: "Cool..."
Satoshi: "And according to this May WILL be versing someone named Jen..."

Jen walks out. She is a pretty girl, as old as May is, and nearly everything she wears is blue.
Announcer: "Jen walks onto the stadium."
Excitement in the crowd fills the stadium again.

Referee: "You will battle using a range of attacks to impress Judge No. 2. Go!"
Jen sends out Jigglypuff, wearing a few blue bows at it's ears. May sends out Beautifly, covered with red bows on it's ears.

Judge 2: "Hmmm... none of them seems to be giving themselves the cool sign of battle..."
The judge makes an apparent cross on his clipboard.

Jessie: "Hmm... this judge must be more strict on coolness than the one I was in a contest with..."

RocketShadow

October 1st, 2003, 09:36 PM

May: "What kind of cool moves does Beautifly know? It mostly knows smart and beauty moves..."
Jen: "I have to use Cool moves. Ok. Jigglypuff! Hyper Voice!"
Jigglypuff: "Jiggly....PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFF!!!!"
The judge scribbles something down. Everyone covers their ears except the judge and Wobbufett who seem to be enjoying it. Jigglypuff stops yelling and starts to catch its breath.

May: "Beautifly! Use Double Team!"
Beautifly makes copies of itself.
Jen: "Jigglypuff! Shock Wave!"
Jigglypuff shoots waves of electricity at the copies but can't find the real one. More and more copies appear and Jigglypuff can't keep up with them. Soon the stadium is filled with images of Beautifly. Jigglypuff looks around nervously trying to figure out which one is real.
May: "Now! Use Solar Beam!"
The real Beautifly, who is behind Jen, starts to charge up energy. Then, just as Jigglypuff sees it charge up energy, it flies from behind Jen and fires Solar Beam at Jigglypuff knocking it out.

Judge2: "Spectacular performances from both Pokemon. And I'm glad to announce the winner is May!"
May: "Yes!"
Beautifly: "Beautifly!"
Ash: "Yeah!"
Masato: "Way to go May!"
Brock: (talking to the girl sitting next to him) "Will you go out with me?"

Jessie: "That twerp will be some serious competition."
James: "Yes it will be. And now they know Shadow is here."
Shadow (dressed as Marco) covers their mouths.
Shadow: (in his real voice) "As long as you idiots are here make yourselves useful like Meowth."
James: "Shadow?"
Shadow: "Don't say my name. When you see me dressed like this call me Marco. Well Meowth is getting lots of eligible recruits together. And good luck in the convention you two. And be glad I'm in a good mood or else you'd be blasting off right now..."

~~Abandoned House~~
Kent: "So Keith is going to sneak into the base and take the jewels correct?"
Shadow: "Yep."
Kent: "But how will we be sure he doesn't get caught?"
Shadow: "I have arranged for letters to be sent to Team Hydro and Team Blaze. In the letters is a time and a place for a final battle between them to decide who rules Hoenn. Now I will be at the battle and make sure they stay there. Now Keith will then sneak in to the base when I give him the signal. And Kent while Keith is grabbing the jewels you will palce this bomb in the base and then you two will get out of there, the place will explode and Team Blaze won't know what hit them."
Keith: "When is the plan starting?"
Sahdow: "After the preliminaries there is a day break in the tournament and thats when the date is for the battle. The last day of the preliminaries is tomorrow so teh plan will start the day after tomorrow. They letters will be sent first thing tomorrow too."
They all laugh evilly.

Joy: "Ken needs a place to stay the night. Do you guys have a spare bed for him?"
Ash: "Come on in!"
Satoshi: "Thanks!"
Brock follows Nurse Joy as she walks out.
Satoshi: "You were great during that match with the girl named Jen."
May: "Thanks!"
Masato: "When you came... were you just spectating?"
Satoshi (thinking): Hmm... should I reveal my identity?
Ash: "It seems like you're hiding something... do I know you?"
May: "I don't think so..."
Satoshi (thinking): Whew... that was close...
Satoshi: "Well Ash you'll be having preliminary round 2, 3, 4 and 5 tomorrow. Since the convention has already started you'll need to get ready, because at 10:30 AM tomorrow the convention will recontinue. Your matches will be held at 10:50 AM, 1:25 PM, 3:35 PM and 4:55 PM. You have to choose a Pok�mon wisely. To get to the quarter-finals you'll need to score at least 3/5 of the preliminaries."
Ash: "And if you get lower?"
Satoshi: "You're out of the convention. So I'll be wishing you best of luck."
Ash: "Thanks Ken!"
Satoshi: "Do you want to battle?"
Ash: "Let's go on the field outside!"

Ash: "OK!"
Satoshi: "Go! Suicune!"
Ash: "A Suicune?!?"
May: "Cool!"
Ash: "Then I'll use... Bayleef!"
Satoshi: "Suicune! Gust attack!"
The gust hits Bayleef weakening it badly.
Ash: "Bayleef! Razor Leaf!"
The Razor Leaf hits Suicune.
Satoshi: "Suicune! Aurora Beam!"
Ash: "Bayleef! Dodge!"
Bayleef evades the Aurora Beam.
Ash: "Now! Vine Whip!"
Vine Whip hits and faints the Suicune.
Satoshi: "Nice job. I expected a trainer like you would know your tactics."
Ash: "Well Ken you really know your techniques."

Behind some bushes...
Jessie: "So the twerp got his Bayleef..."
James: "And that Suicune was..."
Meowth: "Amazing..."
A police guard comes nearby.
Jessie: "Run!"
Police: "Excuse me?"
Jessie and James run away, the suspicions from the policeman leading him on their trail.

Ash, May, Brock and Masato lie down on their beds. Satoshi looks at the window.
Ash: "You looking at something?"

Satoshi walks to his bunk, which is right under Ash's and near Masato's.

Shadow starts writting stuff down on little note cards when Team Blaze arrive.
Shadow: "Finally."
Shadow turns on a hidden camera in a bush and another in a tree. Then Team Hydro arrive and the leaders of the two teams start argueing. Before long a large battle is taking place between the teams. Shadow then puts on his disguise and heads for the stadium.

~~Kaikoren Main Stadium, 1937, 10:30AM~~
Announcer: "We continue our first round of preliminary matches. In this stadium we have Marco against Amy. In Stadium two we have James against Tyson. And the coin flip is heads which menas Amy decides wheter to go first or second."
Amy: "I'll go second of course."
Shadow: "Go Seviper!"
Amy: "Then I'll choose Sandslash!"

Ash: "Seviper? I wonder if Marco can beat Sandslash."
Brock: "Yeah, Ground Pokemon are strong against Poison types..."
Ash: "Wha? I was going to say it looks pretty weak. Like its at level 5 or something..."
Shadow's eye twitches.
May: "We're supposed to be rooting for Marco..."
Gary: "I'd have to agree with Ash though. It does look wimpy..."
Shadow clenches his fists.

~~Kaikoren Stadium 2, Day 5, 10:35 AM~~
Referee: "Begin!"
James: "Go Cacnea! Pin Missile!"
Tyson: "Fearow! Dodge it!"
Fearow flies up but Cacnea still its it.

Jessie: "So it is Tyson from the present. I'd recognize his weak Fearows anywhere."
Meowth: "That's right!"
Jessie: "How's the buisness going?"
Meowth: "How well do you think is this?"
Meowth hands her a piece of paper. At the bottom, this is circled in red:

Jessie jsut stares at it.
Wobbufett: "Wobbufett"
Wobbufett takes the piece of paper from Jessie, who is still frozen from shock, and looks at. Wobbufett faints.
Meowth: "Now let's see how James is doing in his first battle...."

Shadow: "This is getting pretty interesting..."
Amy: "This can get pretty difficult..."

The Body Slam whacks Amy's Sandslash and it faints.

Ash: "He actually did it!"
Referee: "Sandslash is unable to battle! Victory goes to Marco and his Seviper!"

Bayleef happily uses a soft Take Down attack on Ash.
Ash: "You'll be battling in the Hoenn Trainer Convention! Good luck Bayleef - make me, your trainer, proud!"
Bayleef comes with Ash out to the stadium, where loud cheers can be heard.

Ian (to himself): "Hmmm... I guess this is the guy Shadow's been telling me about..."

Pikachu notices Shadow (Marco) at the seats, smiling. Pikachu gets a little suspicious.

Shadow: "Hmmm... I think that kid's Pikachu is getting onto me..."
Shadow then looks at Ash, paying a bit more attention to Bayleef.
Shadow: "Bayleef?!? How'd it get here?"
Shadow thinks to himself.
Shadow: "They must have got it under my nose..."
He then spots Masato, Brock and Gary.

Shadow (on radio): "Attention, Keith, Kent! My cameras report that Team Blaze has almost beaten Team Hydro. Set the timer for 20 minutes Kent! Keith the combination is 22-5-30. Hurry up there!"
Keith: "This shouldn't be too difficult."
Keith puts in the combination and opens the vault.

~~Main Stadium, 10:47AM, Day 5~~
Ian: "Go! Torkoal!"
Announcer: "It seems Ian has chosen a Torkoal to battle Ash's Bayleef! We have already seen several Pokemon overcome their type disadvantage in this tournament, will the same thing happen in this battle?"
Referee: "Begin!"

Ian: "Torkoal, Bide your time."
Ash: "Why isn't he attacking? Razor Leaf Bayleef!"
Razor Leaf hits Torkoal, who doesn't even try to dodge.
Announcer: "What's this? Torkoal didn't even move or attack back. Is Ian toying with Ash or does he have some other plan up his sleeve?"
Ash: "Vine Whip!"
Bayleef picks up Torkoal and slams it into the ground, but it doesn't even react.
Ash: "Finish it with Take Down!"
Bayleef starts running towards Torkoal.
Ian: "Now Torkoal!"
Torkoal starts to glow and rams Bayleef, sending it flying into the wall. Bayleef struggles and manages to get up.
Ian: "Fire Blast attack now!"
Ash: "Jump with Vine Whip!"
Bayleef jumps using Vine Whip but its vines get hit by Fire Blast still.
Ash: "Come in for Body Slam!"
Ian: "Overheat!"
Torkoal starts glowing red. Bayleef body slams it but gets badly hurt.
Torkoal: "TOOOOOOOORKOOOOALLLLL!!!"
Torkoal then sends out a giant blast of fire which engulfs Bayleef, Ash, and the Announcer's stand (which was behind Ash). Bayleef falls to the ground and Ash is burnt black.
Announcer: "What an attack! Is it hot in here or is it just me?"
Referee: "Bayleef is unable to battle."
Announcer: "Ash lost but is still in the tournament."
Ash: "You did a good job Bayleef."
Bayleef: "Bay."

Bayleef gets really mad. It lifts Ash up and whacks him on Masato.
Satoshi: "Oh boy..."
May: "Ehehehe..."
Brock: "Love... just like the little problem Ash had with Bayleef..."
Satoshi (Ken): "May you have a contest coming soon. You'd better get ready."

Shadow (thinking): "I don't know him but that Ken seems oddly familiar...Anyways tonight I'll steal that Pikachu. Hehehehe... Look at the time. My next preliminary match will be starting soon. I got to go prepare..."
Ash: "Hey Marco!"
Shadow: "Can't talk now, I lost track of the time and my match starts in 5 minutes."
May: "Will you come see my next contest preliinary? Its right after your battle."
Shadow: "Sure, I'll be there. My match is in Stadium 3."
Masato: "See you there."
Shadow leaves.
Masato: "We should get going if we are to see the battle..."
Ash: "Yeah. Nurse Joy, can you look after Bayleef?"
Nurse Joy: "Sure thing. It will be able to battle again very soon."
Ash, May, Masato, and Brock leave and heads towards Stadium 3.

~~Meanwhile at Team Blaze Base~~
Keith: "And that's the third one. I got them all."
Kent: "And the base will blow up in 5 minutes."
Keith: "5 minutes!?!?!? We better get out of here!"
Keith and Kent run out of the base and up a nearby hill. They look down as the base explodes. They then head off towards the abandoned house.

~~Stadium 3, 11:00, 1937~~
Announcer: "And now for the next Preliminary Match, Marco against Selma. Selma won her last battle against Miles and his Dodrio using her Vileplume. Marco won his last match against Amy and her Sandslash using his Seviper. Who willl win this battle? It seems Selma has to go first... And she sent out Lairon! Let's see what Shadow uses... And he sent out Seviper, again. Poison Pokemon, like Seviper, have a giant disadvantage against Steel types. Let's hope this turns out to be a great battle!"

Referee: "Begin!"
Selma: "Use Headbutt!"
Shadow: "Dig underground!"
Lairon charges towards Seviper but it digs underground avoiding the attack.
Shadow: "Now Earthquake attack!"
The field starts shaking and Lairon gets thrown in the air and lands on its back.
Shadow: "Come up and use Flamethrower!"
Seviper surfaces and shoots a blaze of flames at Lairon. Lairon gets thrown agaisnt a rock and barely gets back up. It then starts to glow.
Selma: "Lairon?"
Shadow: "Eh?"
Announcer: "Why Lairon seems to be evolving!"
Lairon evolves into Aggron. The crowd cheers.
Selma: "Iron Tail!"
Shadow: "Dodge it and use Double Team!"
Shadow dodges Iron Tail and creates multiples of itself. Aggron looks around and gets dizzy.
Shadow: "Flamethrower now!"
Seviper uses Flamethrower but Aggron just walks threw it and uses Iron Tail on Seviper knocking it into the wall. Seviper manages to get up.
Shadow: "Screech!"
Seviper uses Screech making Aggron's defense drop.
Shadow: "Glare!"
Seviper uses Glare and paralyses Aggron.
Shadow: "Now use your Iron Tail!"
Seviper: "Seviper."
Seviper uses Iron Tail making Aggron fly into a rock on the playing field.
Shadow: "The bigger they are...."
Aggron falls to the gound.
Shadow: "The harder they fall."
Referee: "Aggron is unable to battle. Marco wins."

Announcer: "It seems Marco was able to overcome a type disadvantage again. Oh and I just recieved a memo. All Pokemon Contest participants, the contest preliminaries are starting 10 minutes earlier then planned..."

May: "Ahhhhh!"
May runs off at full speed.
Ash: "Great battle Marco!"
Shadow: "Thanks."
Masato: "What other Pokemon do you have?"
Shadow: "You will just have to wait until the finals to find out..."
Brock: "Your Seviper is really strong..."
Shadow: "Thank you. Shouldn't we be going to see May's contest?"
Ash: "Yeah."
Shadow: "Meet you there. I've got some buisness to attend to."

Nidoking: "Uhhhhh"
Shadow: "What's with the vacant expression?
I need to teach you a lesson!"
Nidoking: "I think the mixture makes you rhyme and isn't threatening..."

Beautifly absorbs energy from Alakazam.
May: "Secret Power!"
Beautifly uses a form of Body Slam while glowing.
Jacob: "Hyper Beam!"

Alakazam and Beautifly both charge up but Alakazam finishes charging first and fires Hyper Beam at Beautifly knocking it out.
Judge: "And due to its great use of Smart attacks and great knowledge I award this battle to..."
Jacob starts to walk up towards the judge.
Judge: "May."
Jacob and May both fall down.
Jacob: "What do you mean she won?"
Judge: "These contests aren't just about making the opponent faint you know..."
Announcer: "Even though her Beautifly fainted May still won this preliminary. We are sorry to announce that the rest of the preliminaries will have to be postponed due to a sudden severe thunderstorm headed towards us. So everyone take shelter until the storm passes."

Shadow is on the roof of the announcer's booth with a remote control like device pointed in the direction the storm is coming from.

~~Ash's room, 12:45 PM, 1937~~
Ash: "This stinks."
Brock: "I wonder where that storm came from..."
May: "You know, summer rains, you can never predict them."
Brock: "Yeah."

~~Ash's Room, 1:27 AM, 1937~~
Everyone is asleep and Pikachu is sleeping on the desk by the window. A Zubat flies by and starts tapping on the window, waking Pikachu up.

Pokedex: "Pokemon Translation Mode on!
Zubat: "Help, some bad human has my mother!"
Pikachu: "Just a second, let me wake up Ash."
Zubat: "No time! My mother's in danger! Hurry!"
Pokedex: "Translaton Mode offline."

Pikachu opens the window and jumps out and follows Zubat to a crab-like machine with a Golbat in its claw.
Shadow: "Hehehe....."
Pikachu: "???"
A cage comes out of the ground and captures Pikachu. A hatch on the top of the robot and Shadow looks out.
Shadow: "You've fallen right into my trap. I'd like to thank my two great actors, Zubat and Golbat."
Shadow withdrawals Zubat and Golbat into two Pokeballs, presses some buttons on his laptop, and the Pokeballs disappear.
Shadow: "Their appearence was made possible by Shadow's Anywhere Anytime Pokemon Storage System, Patent Pending. I brought all of my Pokemon on my PC with me. Now back to business!"
Shadow goes back in the robot and closes the hatch. The claw that held Golbat grabs Pikachu's cage and jet boosters come out of the robot and it flies off.

~~Gary's Room, 1:31 AM, 1937~~
Gary is looking in some books.
Gary: "I still can't figure out a good strategy to beat Ash with..."
Gary looks out the window and sees the cage surround Pikachu.

Gary: "Ash! Pikachu's been taken while you've been sleeping!"
Ash: "Wha?!?"
Gary: "By Shadow! He went over there!"
Satoshi (Ken): "Let me come with you!"
Satoshi comes with Ash.
Ash: "Where does this path lead?"
They step on a trapdoor which opens up and they fall.
.: Shadow's Furnace Fun : 1:40 : 1937 :.
Shadow: "A couple of idiots I see, do you think you can get to me?"
Ash: "He's rhyming..."
Nidoking: "You can see a board here... if you can get past you might get your Pikachu back."
Satoshi (Ken): "It looks like a really big boardgame..."
Ash: "Let's go!"
Satoshi (Ken): "I'll come too!"
As soon as they step on a tile on the board, Shadow's voice comes again.
Shadow: "How many maggot twerps did I bring back in time, it's really hard to finish as I always have to rhyme."
Ash: "2!"
Shadow: "Darn it he got it right, when he goes round I'll finish him with might!"
Nidoking: "Advance to the next step."
They advance and then the area changes. They are warped to a lava battlefield, with a sign nearby saying: "Shadow's Lava Battle Fun"
Nidoking: "The twerps Ken and Ash from Kaikoren City, versing the 2 rockets Marilin and Kazz."
Shadow's robot coharts: "Rocket's show your might! Rocket's win the fight!"
Satoshi (Ken): "Go! Ampharos!"
Ash: "I choose you! Bayleef!"
Bayleef and Ampharos destroy the robots.
Kazz: "Go! Kadabra!"
Marilin: "Go! Azumarill!"
Ash: "Bayleef! Vine Whip!"
Satoshi (Ken): "Ampharos! Thunder!"
Thunder hits and faints Azumarill and badly paralyzes Kadabra. The Vine Whip finishes it off. They then warp back to the game board.

Ash and Satoshi advance to teh next step and Shadow is heard again.
Shadow: "Now listen carefully and make your choice, which person has this dumb voice?"
James: "Blah blah blah blah blahblahblah!"
Ash: "Ummmmmm"
Satoshi: "Uhhhh"
Ash: "I know I've heard many many times, most of which I ignore it....uhhh James!"
Shadow: "Drat that's correct, but you won't make it any farther I bet. Those who have played Banjo-Kazooie might have recognized this game, so I've added something to make it not exactly the same. Up next is a split in the path, its 50/50 do the math. One way may help you the other not so good, but it interesting to me it should. The little trick you see, you don't know what kind of spaces they are thanks to me. Try to get it right I dare you, waiting for your demise awaits the camera crew."
Satoshi: "One of these spaces must be real bad and the other good. But which is which?
Ash: "Hmmm. Heads we go to the left, tails right."
Ash pulls a coin out of his pocket and flips it but it falls into the lava.
Satoshi: "I say left, it looks like the shorter route to Shadow."

Ash and Satoshi walk onto the space on their left. The square lights up and is a red space with a skull on it.
Shadow: "Get this question wrong and you lose, and a prize I get to choose. You only get one chance to answer it, so get it right unless you want to go for a dip. Look at this picture on the screen, do you know where you have been?"
A picture of a lot of trees and wild bug Pokemon appears on the large screen behind Shadow.
Ash: "Viridian Forest!"
Shadow: "What, how did he get it right? With the question makers I'm about to fight!"
Ash and Satoshi walk onto the next space.
Shadow: "Let's see you get this one, you must guess the Pokemon. I'll only show you the shape, you big dumb ape!"
A black circle appears on the screen.
Satoshi: "Its Voltorb!"
Shadow: "Drat, Ken, how'd ya know, I'm supposed to win this show!"
Satoshi: "If it was Electrode we'd see the eyebrows..."
Ash and Satoshi advance to the next space which has Shadow's face on it.
Shadow: "Oooh I like this space, I'll ask you question about that face. I really like to watch my weight, but what dessert do I think is great?"
Ash: "Uhhhh...."

RocketShadow

October 16th, 2003, 08:06 PM

Ash: "I don't know, do you?"
Satoshi (Ken): "No idea."
Ash: "Ice Cream?"
A buzzer sounds and a Voltorb falls on Ash and explodes.
Ash: *cough* "What was that?"
Shadow: "When you answer wrong you get hurt, get 5 questions wrong and you hit the dirt."
Ash: "But that's lava down there."
Shadow: "You know I had to rhyme, that stupid potion makes me do it all the time...
To advance you need to try again,
please get it wrong, I enjoy your pain!"
Ash stands back up and the space lights up again.
Shadow: "I'm the youngest Rocket member, younger then Sam,
do you know how old I am?"
Satoshi: "14!"
Shadow: "Correct so advance again if you dare, I think you're in for a scare..."
Ash and Satoshi walk on to the next square which lights up
Shadow: "Ash let's see you get this one right, what type is good against Kingdra in a fight?"
Ash: "Uhhhh..."
Satoshi: "Dragon."
Shadow: "Thats correct you little fool, I'm starting to think this rhyming is cool."
Ash and Satoshi walk onto the next space, which is the second to last space.
Shadow: "Oh no, they're almost here, but these last 2 spaces they should fear. Now for a little game, and when you lose I'll take all the fame!"
Ash and Satoshi get teleported to a beehive.
Shadow's voice: "Release the Beedrills!"
Suddnely hundreds of Beedrills fly towards Ash and Satoshi.

October 17th, 2003, 09:47 AM

Ash: "What the?"
Satoshi (Ken): "Ash! Side step!"
Ash side steps. The Beedrill use Twineedle, which one hooks Ash up.
Satoshi jumps along, avoiding the Beedrill and whacking them away.
Ash: "He's good..."
Satoshi (Ken): "Look out Ash!"
A particularly large Beedrill comes to Ash, pointing it's needles at him.
Ash: "I can't move..."
Satoshi jumps towards the Beedrill and kicks it away.
Satoshi (thinking): I'd never really wanted something like this to happen.
Shadow: "Oh how I like this day, watching more come, horray horray!"
Another swarm with slightly bigger Beedrill comes for Ash and Satoshi.
Shadow: "Oh I like pain, let's see how much you can gain."
Ash: "I've had enough! Go! Bayleef!"
Satoshi (Ken): "Go! Ampharos!"
Ampharos and Bayleef faint all the Beedrill.
Shadow: "Oh Drat drat drat! Am I looking through a hat hat hat? They couldnt've won, after everything's begun..."
They get teleported back to the main area.
Shadow: "Go step and fear, I bet you have no gear."
Ash and Satoshi step onto the last tile.
Shadow: "A time limit shall guard, your Pikachu, it's hard, to leave your friend, and lose near the end. 1 minute you have, to answer rad, these questions so fast, I bet you won't last... Get more than 2, and Pikachu you get more."
Ash: "I need to get my Pikachu back..."
Shadow: "What is my middle name? To pass this little game?"
Ash: "Uhhh..."
Shadow: "Tick! You're wrong! This won't last long... What's the name, of this little game?"
Ash: "Shadow's Furnace Fun!"
Shadow: "Drat, I need to hide that board, I really need to sound like I roared. What is the name of the town I took you to? Very soon I'll make it fame."
Ash: "Kaikoren City."
Shadow: "Darn he got it right, this thing's not so bright."
Shadow's speech changes.
Shadow: "Go onto the platform, you little gits... hey that rhyming's worn off!"
They walk onto a platform ahead. Pikachu appears.
Ash: "Pikachu!"
Pikachu comes to Ash.
Shadow: "Think it's over do you? Think again!"
The platform bounces them off into a hole high above, taking them to...

Shadow: "Let's look at the screen...."
A close up picture of a Grimer appears.
Shadow: "What Pokemon is that? Is it Muk, Koffing, or Grimer?"

Jane: "Muk!"
Shadow: "I'm surrounded by idiots...."
Kazz/Marilin: 3 Ash/Satoshi/Pikachu: 0 Joe/Jane: -2

Marilin: "Grimer!"
Shadow: "It was 50/50."
Kazz/Marilin: 4 Ash/Satoshi/Pikachu: 0 Joe/Jane: -2
A loud buzzer is heard.
Shadow: "And that's the end of Round 1. And it seems Joe and Jane lose with a horrible score of -2, which is about the same as their combined IQs. Time for your consoulation prize!"
A trapdoor opens above Joe and Jane and a Snorlax falls on them.

The big horn blows while Shadow does his question.
Shadow: "What mecha tank starred in an episode full of Sentr.. and this is a question that you must answer to stay in this game...Sentret? Arbotank? Robo Mecha Wobbuffet, or Robosentret?"
Satoshi: "The Arbotank."
Shadow: "Drat. I knew that those fools reveal the name of that tank when I made the guy selling it to pay half price so their savings would fit... and yet they destroyed it!
Well looks like Kazz and Marilin also failed to beat those gorillas. Bah bye Kazzy and Marilaney!"
A trapdoor above opens up and another Snorlax comes down and crushes them.
Shadow: "Now here's round 3! And I'm bending the rules a bit. I've set you a little score of 15 to beat.To make it hard I'm not giving you the answers in my questions until you buzz in! I wish you lots of bad luck. Let's play!"

How did this question get to be the final one? Stupid question card machine. It must be faulty! The round is invalid due to faulty equipment..."
Satoshi: "So now what?"
Shadow: "I don't know. Any ideas?"
Ash: "You could escape in a cowardly fashion, before we foil your plan and kick your butt."
Shadow: "Good idea. Luckily I built an escape pod into my booth for this very reason! I'll see you later..."
Shadow pushes some buttons.
Shadow: "But this time.....ahhhh"
A trap door below Shadow opens and he falls in. A splash and several chomping noises are heard. The question card he was holding floats over to Ash.
Ash: "'What is Pikachu's type?' That's why he got mad..."
Shadow jumps out of the trapdoor. Several Carvanha are holding onto him. He runs out of the room. Ash and Satoshi run after him into the next room but he is gone.
Ash: "Well I guess we should get back to Kaikoren..."
Satoshi: "Yeah. I'm sure Shadow will show up again and when he does, we'll get him."

Keith: "I got it covered. Its the second place prize of the Trainer Conference."
Shadow: "So we'll steal it from them, and then I'll go and get the jewel that controls the Pokemon."
Nidoking: "Your next match is in an hour and shouldn't you be watching Ash and Gary's match?"
Shadow: "It must have slipped my mind...Let's go."
Shadow withdrawals Nidoking and runs to put on his disguise.

~~Main Stadium, 3:07, 1937~~
Ash: "Water Gun!"
Gary: "Dodge with Extreme Speed!"
Totodile uses Water Gun but Arcanine dodges and charges towards Totodile at lightning speed.
Ash: "Bite!"
Totodile clamps onto Arcanine's nose right before it gets hit. Arcanine tries to shake it off but has no luck removing Totodile.
Gary: "Arcanine use Strength to get it off!"
Arcanine uses Strength and flings Totodile in the air.
Ash: "Use Water Gun!"
Gary: "Dodge!"
Ash: "Its not aiming for you..."
Gary: "Huh?"
Totodile uses Water Gun to slow its fall, and it lands softly on the ground.

May: "That was pretty smart to use Water Gun to slow its fall."
Shadow (Marco) runs up to them.
Shadow: "Sorry I'm late. I didn't know what time the preliminaries were starting back up..."
Brock: "Its OK."
Masato: "Yeah you haven't missed too much..."

Gary: "Extreme Speed!"
Arcanine charges towards Totodile.
Ash: "Use Water Gun!"
Totodile uses Water Gun to lift itself over Arcanine.
Ash: "Now! Hydro Pump!"
Totodile fires a torrent of water at Arcanine, slamming it into a wall. It then falls to the ground.
Referee: "Arcanine is unable to battle. Ash wins!"

Announcer: "It looks like Ash Ketchum has won the battle!"
A older man walks up to the announcer and gives him a slip of paper and whispers something in his ear."
Announcer: "Well it seems that the main convention judges have decided that, due to more people joining then expected and yesterday's rain delay, to lower the number of preliminary matches for the trainer tournament and contest to three. Those who win two out of three will preceed to the next round. So both Gary and Ash qualify for the quarter-finals. An updated schedule list will be placed on everyone's door, but today's battles will remian on schedule as we finish the preliminaries! The next Contest Preliminaries will start in 15 minutes!"

.: Ash's cabin : 4:02 : Day 6 : 1937 :.
Ash: "Well that was an exciting day... phew!"
Satoshi (Ken): "A bit too exciting... the games we played... don't they seem familiar to you?"
Ash: "No..."
May: "I'd occasionally want to laugh at the fact that my brother has been injured by your Bayleef at least twice."
Brock: "It's typical..."
May: "Well..."
Ash: "My next match is tomorrow, in the quarter finals."
Satoshi (Ken): "Then you should be able to use 3 Pok�mon... and then you have to work together with another person for a 2-on-2 match."
The door is knocked on.
Ash: "I'll get it..."
Ash finds a piece of paper stuck on the door.
Ash: "It's the next few battlers!"
May: "Quarter-final: Ash Ketchum versus Mont... another quarter final: Gary versus Marco."
Satoshi (thinking): That Marco guy... he acts suspiciously...
Satoshi stands back.
Satoshi (Ken): "There's something I have to tell you... privately."
The doors and windows shut.
Satoshi (Ken) becomes his normal self, the one and only Satoshi Tajiri.
May: "Mr. Tajiri!"
Ash: "I knew it. You couldn'tve been able to help me in the Tower of Tragedy quiz otherwise..."
Satoshi: "Just don't tell anyone else."
Jessie (spying): "It's our big boss..."
James: "Let's not tell Shadow..."
Jessie: "You're right..."
The branch they are on breaks.
Satoshi transforms back into Ken.
Ash: "Whoop! I'm starving..."
May: "C'mon then let's eat!"
Satoshi (Ken): "I'm with you guys all the way!"
Jessie: "Should we follow them?"
James: "Why don't we eat too?"
.: Kaikoren All-you-can-eat : 4:20 : Day 6, 1937 :.
James: "So Mr. Tajiri, why hav you been concealing your identity?"
Satoshi (Ken): "Not to be noticed by anyone like Shadow."
Ash: "So Team Rocket, even if you keep losing to us why do you keep trying?"
Jessie and Jame's mouthes drop.
Jessie: "It's just that..."
James: "Team Rocket's our only job..."
Jessie: "Yet we have no money, no food..."
James: "We practically waste money on the mecha robots we use to defeat you..."
Jessie: "And we never get your Pikachu..."
James: "No chance of promotion, no weekly pay..."
Satoshi (Ken): "Well..."
Brock: "You could stop chasing us and terrorize a smaller group of travellers... even though it's bad."
Satoshi (Ken): "Well... I don't see how I can't help... I might ask if you can be given an extra Pok�mon..."
Brock: "Oh May! Your match starts in 20 minutes!"
May: "Right!"
May runs off.
Ash: "Where's Masato?"
Satoshi (Ken): "I don't know... I thought he was with you... last time I saw him he was thrown at the referee... but..."
.: Shadow's tower : 4:30 : Day 6, 1937 :.
Shadow: "So Masato... you decided to creep away and follow innocent looking Marco to his hideout?"
Masato: "How dare you!"
Shadow: "No... HOW DARE YOU!"
Masato: "I'll tell the others that you are Shadow you creep!"
Shadow: "No you will not. Let's see how my mecha Masato will go imitating you so your friends don't get suspicious..."
Masato: "Noooooooo!"

~~Shadow's Tower, 4:31~~
Shadow: "Oh yes!"
Masato: "NOOOOO!!!"
Shadow: "YEEEEESSS!"
Masato: "Nooo...wait what's the Mecha-Masato anyway?"
Shadow: "A robot that I control, looks just like you and sounds just like you..."
Masato: "Oh....NOOOOO!!!"

~~Stadium 3, 4:40~~
M-Masato: "Yay go May!"
Ash: "Yeah!"
Annoucner: "And now we begin the next Contest Preliminary with May against Christine with the Cute Judge."
May: "Go Beautifly!"
Christine: "Go Farfetch'd!"

~~Shadow's Tower, 4:42~~ ~~
Shadow: "The robot is already fooling your friends..."
There is a knock at the door. Shadow opens the door and recieves the Quarter-Final schedule.
Shadow: "I have to go against Gary....That shouldn't be too difficult..."
Masato: "Ash will stop your evil plan!"
Shadow: "Even if my plan in the past fails, I still have a great plan for the future. Besides, even Ash can't foil my master plan."
Masato: "Which is?"
Shadow: "The master plan is the whole world domination thing, its not an individual effort to take over the eath, its all of them grouped together."
Masato: "Oh. What's your plan for the future?"
Shadow: "I'm not telling you anything, but I can assure you it has my trademark copyright infringements..."

.: Stadium 3 : 4:42 : Day 6, 1937 :.
M-Masato: "Go May! I'm rooting for you all the way!"
(Shadow: "Hey that rhymed...")
Satoshi (Ken): "Masato, is something wrong?"
(Shadow: "He seems to be getting onto it...)
Satoshi (Ken): "You seem quite..."
Ash's Bayleef comes out of it's Pok�Ball to watch May battle.
M-Masato: "Bayleef seems to be good..."
(Shadow: "That might help...")
Satoshi (thinking): "Yup... he's obviously Masato... I think..."
M-Masato: "I think raising a Cyndaquil and Totodile more would've been better..."
Bayleef overhears this. It gets mad and tosses the mecha Masato back and forth until it brakes.
(Shadow: "Arrrgh! Cover blown!")
Ash: "That's not Masato!"
Brock: "Where is he?"
Satoshi (Ken): "That was a Team Rocket mecha."
Ash: "Where do you think it might've come from?"
Satoshi: "Shadow's Tower..."
.: Shadow's Tower : 4:43 : Day 6, 1937 :.
Shadow: "Rats! They're heading this way!"
Masato: "Told 'ya you would'nt get away with it!"
Shadow: "Yeah? Well I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve."
Shadow carries Masato up some stairs, into an electric barrier.

Ash arrives.
Ash: "Oh right! Where is he?"
Satoshi (Ken): "Up there maybe......"
Brock: "It's an electric barrier..."
Ash: "Go! Bayleef! You can't be hurt by electricity so put your vine through and touch that red button at the other side!"
Bayleef does it. The electric barrier turns off.
Ash: "Let's go!"

.: Top of Shadow's Tower : 4:45 : Day 6, 1937 :.
Shadow: "Let's see... this should erase Masato's brain... he won't know I'm Marco anymore..."
Masato: "Where am I?"
Shadow: "Kidnapped by me."
Masato: "Oh ok... HEEELLLP!!!!!"

Ash: "This elevator seems familiar..."
Satoshi (Ken): "A bit too familiar."
Brock: "Wow! What a view!"
Satoshi (Ken): "But doesn't it seem strange that Shadow isn't here to greet us?"
Ash: "I don't know. Let's settle this. Why don't we just go back to the trainer convention?"
Satoshi (Ken): "Maybe..."

Brock: "Umm Ash."
Ash: "Wha?"
Brock points behind them and a giant drilling machine is there.
Satoshi: "What is that?"
Ash: "It's huge...."
Shadow comes out from a hatch on top of it.
Shadow: "Finally.... Its time for my revenge!"
Ash: "I don't think so!"
Shadow: "We'll see...We'll see..."
Shadow goes back in the machine.
Shadow: "Where is the laser button? Arrrghh. Give me they manuel Nidoking! Ah. Here we go!"
Two lasers come out of the bottom of the Rocket 1 and it starts spinning around trying to hit Ash and co. but they just jump over it. After a minute it stops and Shadow comes back out of the hatch.

Shadow: "Thought the quiz was over did you? Think again! I've still got a few question cards up my sleeve. Answer correctly...."
Ash: "Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu shocks Shadow.
Shadow: "I was going to be nice but not now..."
Shadow goes back in the Rocket 1 and pushes several buttons. All four lasers activate, the drill starts turning, the exhaust port opens, the mortar cannons come out, and toxic gas (Grimer and Weezing flavor) fills the arena.
Shadow: "Now let's see you beat this.....huh?.....What's this?......Overload? Ahhhhhhh!!!"
The drill stops spinning and the lasers and toxic gas disappear. Shadow comes out from the hatch.
Shadow: "That's it! I didn't want to have to use this..."
Shadow pulls out a Team Rocket Rocket Launcher Deluxe (patent pending) and starts to put in the ammo.
Ash: "Go Noctwol!"
Noctowl comes out and tackles Shadow's hand makes him drop the ammo.
Shadow: "This won't end well..."
The Rocket 1 explodes and Shadow blasts off into the evening sky.

May: "That was pretty cool..."
Ash: "Where did you come from?"
May: "Blame my parents..."
Masato: "How did the battle go?"
May: "I won..."
Satoshi: "Well Marco's battle is next so we better go watch it since its his final preliminary...."
Ash: "Who is he up against?"
Brock pulls out the schedule.
Brock: "His last preliminary is against James and his first Quarter-Final is against Gary..."
Ash: "Well to waste time before his battle, anyone up for a kick-around?"
Brock: "Yeah."
May: "Sure."
Masato: "Yay!"
Satoshi: "Sounds like fun..."

~~Stadium 1, 5:30PM~~
Announcer: "Here we are at the final preliminary match of the Trainer Convention Tournament. And after this we have two more Contest Preliminaries. This battle is James against Marco, but Marco hasn't shown up yet."
Referee: "He has five minutes to arrive."
Announcer: "If Marco doesn't show up in 5 minutes, he'll be disqualified. Both trainers have already won two battles each so they will both go to the Quarter-Finals no matter what happens. Hey who's that?"
Shadow (Marco) runs into the stadium and takes his position.
Referee: "Marco goes first for being late."
Shadow: "Go Seviper!"
James: "Go Ca..."
Wobbufett comes out of its Pokeball.
Announcer: "It seems James is using a Wobbufett while Marco is using Seviper once again."
Referee: "Begin!"
Shadow: "Poison Tail!"
James: "Counter!"
Seviper gets flung back into a rock.
Shadow: "Hmmmm... I got it! Dig underground!"
Seviper goes underground. Wobbufett looks around frantically trying to figure were it will come up at.
Shadow: "Poison Fang!"
Before Wobbufett can Counter, Seviper comes up out of the ground and bites it, severly poisoning it. Wobbufett starts getting weaker and weaker. Seviper uses its tail to hold a nail file and it starts using it on its teeth.
Announcer: "Oh no. Wobbufett is badly poisoned! What is James going to do?"
James: "What can I do? If he doesn't attack I can't Counter it and that's all Wobbufett knows..."

Meowth boots up a Hoenn Pokedex he bought from Kent.
Pokedex: "Wobbufett was thought to only know Counter and Mirror Coat, but it was recently discovered that it can learn other moves as a Wynaut and it also knows Destiny Bond and Safequard."
Meowth: "James! Wobufett knows Destiny Bond too!"

James: "It does? Destiny Bond now Wobbufett!"
Wobbufett starts to glow and then it faints and Seviper faints along with it.
Referee: "The battle ends in a tie!"
Announcer: "Amazing! The battle ends in a tie due to Destiny Bond! Both trainers move onto the Quart-Finals! The next Contest Preliminary between Jessie and Daisy will begin in 10 minutes!"
