PART 1: THE REUNION
Hello, Pokemon Fans. Welcome to another exiting adventure of pokemon.
We see our heroes May, Max, Brock and Ash enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of Ever-Grande City. In a matter of months an amazing competition of skill and mettle is scheduled to take place here and Ash is all ready for it. “For crying out loud how much more shopping do you have to do May”, “Just a little more Ash, this is the first time I have been to Ever-Grande”. To this Brock replies, “But we haven’t stopped even for a minute, can we at least have a coffee break”, pat comes the reply from May, “Oh Alright! Let’s go to that Coffee Shop™ over there”. The moment they enter, Ash and Brock notice a boy and a girl placing an order who look surprisingly familiar......
“Where have I seen redheads before” wonders Ash. “Pik..??” wonders Pikachu
They take their seats while May goes to place an order. “Waah! Why do you guys get coffee whereas all I get is milk” moans Max to which Ash replies, “You are too young to have coffee young man!”. Irritated Max replies, “Thanks grandpa” for which he gets bonked on the head courtesy Brock. May comes back saying that she has placed the order and that Max rightfully deserves that hit from Brock. One of the bartenders then announces something which makes Ash jump out of his seat. “Ms. Misty Waterflower your order is ready please take it from the counter”
Ash jumps out of his seat and runs towards Misty but before he can reach her, he bumps into the boy who was with Misty. “Hey, watch it! Ash?!”, “Tracey!”. Misty who was collecting her order turns around and sees Ash. A wave of mixed feelings passes over her. She runs up to him. Ash is himself quite surprised. “Misty! Wow, long time no see” Though he would like to say much more he doesn’t speak and wonders what were two of his best friends doing here. Pikachu then leaps onto Misty and gives her an affectionate hug (awww.... to tweet). Misty hugs Pikachu and exclaims. “Hi, Pikachu!”
“Hey, you are Misty right! We have met before” says May. Misty re-introduces herself to both May and Max recalling their first meeting. Tracey whispers in Ash’s ear, “Hey, Ash who is that good looking girl”. “Well if you give me a minute I’ll introduce you”. May and Max this is Tracey, I met him on my trip to the orange islands and he is a world class sketch artist.” Tracey BLUSHES?! And says “Oh c’mon I’m not that good.” May is quite impressed by Tracey, especially by his modest behavior. Brock suddenly realizes what is going on and comments “OOH! May and Tracey sitting on a tree k.... (WHAM!)” He gets bonked on the head courtesy May and Tracey.
Ash and Misty laugh and then look at each other, Ash asks, “So how did you two end up here”. Misty replies “Well you see they just had an annual gym leaders meet yesterday and Tracey accompanied me to it” Though what Misty says is the truth it is only half of it. Misty hates such “meets” but when she heard it was being held in Ever-Grande she just couldn’t resist meeting Ash. “By the way Ash I have got a little gift for you” says Misty and hands him a medallion on which are engraved 5 bird pokemon. “It’s a good luck charm, I was going to give you something else but I don’t know why, I felt pulled towards it”. Ash is quite touched and gives her an affectionate hug as thanks.
May looks at Tracey as if asking him something to which he replies with a smiling nod. Ash and his friends then celebrate this unexpected but happy reunion. Max as usual can’t understand a thing leaving him confused.
Meanwhile, a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.........??? SORRY WRONG STORY! Anyway, a few kilometers out of Ever-Grande something sinister is afoot. A steel goliath hovers over a small hill invisible to any passer by’s. We go inside to find that none other than Girudian Lawrence III is hatching his latest plan. His computer informs him.....TARGET FOUND.....ANALYZING.....MEWTWO, the computer then proceeds to show him an image of the...target. A magnificent purple colored strong bodied pokemon who bears a resemblance to Mew. “Good, it appears that all is going as planned........computer! DE-CLOAK.” The air starts to shimmer and where there was nothing appears a huge steel craft floating mid-air.
Mewtwo, who was meditating, is disturbed and looks at the huge craft floating above. Instead of reacting with fear or curiosity he gently smiles as if he has been familiar with it for years. In front of him a translucent image of Girudian appears and speaks, “Hello old friend”. Mewtwo gently smiles at the image and greets it. “Hello Girudian, nice to meet you again. Normally you appear to me in your physical form why this false image today?” Girudian replies “Well you see I am in bit of a hurry today and thought why not pay you a little visit.” Apparently Girudian and Mewtwo have known each other for a long time and now Girudian was using their friendship for his own advantage.
The image of Girudian speaks, “You know what my journey is a bit long and I wouldn’t mind having some.......company.” Mewtwo suddenly senses danger and begins to charge an energy sphere. His sense is proved true as 10 or so ‘orb’s are launched from the aft section of Girudian’s ship. An intense fight ensues.
The combat catches the attention of a news crew nearby who immediately start airing it on every TV set in Ever-Grande ........including the one at the coffee house. While May, Max and Brock can’t make head or tails of it, Ash, Tracey, Misty and Pikachu see something they wish they hadn’t.
