    Ash and friends walk through the town.
    May: "This sure is creepy."
    Brock: "I wonder if we are in Kaikoren City."
    Ash: "Hey Masato check your Pokenav....Masato?"
    Masato wasn't there.
    May: "Where did he go?"
    Brock: "He just disappeared..."
    Ash: "We better stay together and try to find him."
    Brock: "Hey May is gone too!"
    Ash turns around and looks and May has disappeared too. Ash then turns back around and sees Brock is gone too.
    Ash: "Its just you and me now Pikachu... Pikachu?"
    Pikachu is also missing. Ash blacks out.
     
    *Pokemon Center*

    Ash: Drat! My milion yen is now half a million!

    May: Where are you Masato?

    Max: I'm Max!

    May: Shut Up, Warner Bros hasn't confirmed your english name yet.

    Brock: Lets look for Kenta.

    Max: no, it's Yoshi.

    Brock: The green dinosaur?

    Ash: Ok, lets look for Marina and Jun'ichi and Hazuki then.

    Max: No! It's Dani for Marina, Jackson for Jun'ichi, and Harrison for Hazuki

    Ash: Ok, this story is pretty messed up though.
     
    ~~TV Tokyo~~
    Satoshi: "Well this is confusing."
    Satoshi scribbles down "Destroy 4Kids" and then erases everyone's memory of the evil dub names.

    ~~The Pokemon Center~~
    Ash: "This is strange. There is no Nurse Joy here."
    Brock: "We must search for our beloved Nurse Joy! Ash you search over there. Masato you look over there and ...."
    May: "You search your head for a brain."
    Stranger: "Who is that?"
    Stranger2: "Are they Pokemon trainers?"
    Stranger: "I beleive so."
    Stranger3: "What should we do?"
     
    Stranger: We should kidnap them, and send them back to Mars. (laughing evily)
    Stranger 2: How should we do that? (confused)
    Stranger 3: Use your brain, idiot. We should disguise ourselves as the said Nurse Joy. (hits stranger 2 on the heard)
    Stranger: (Changes into Nurse joy) Hmm...how do I look?
    Stranger 2: You look...um...hot. (drools)
    Stranger: (still as Nurse Joy) Hello, travelers. Can I help you with something?

    -In a random room in the Pokemon Center-
    Masato: (Is tied up and blindfolded) lerts mehs ourt!
    Stranger 4: Don't worry, you'll meet your sister shortly... (cackles)
     
    May: Wait, but Hoenn was just a piece of land with pokemon back then! there were no humans!

    Ash: Hey look, that isn't a man! it's a thing?

    May: I must be talking gibberish... May May May!

    Ash: Ash ash ash! AAAASSSHHH!!!!

    Narrator: So our heros have Narra! Narra! Narra tor Narra?
     
    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!!!"

    ~~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.

    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.
     
    ~~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.

    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.
     
    ~~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."
     
    ~~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)

    ~~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."
     
    ~~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!"
     
    ~~Abandoned House 1937~~
    Keith: "Well I know where 3 are. They are being held in the base of Team Blaze."
    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...."
     
    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.
     
    ~~Kaikoren Plateau 1937, Morning of Day 5~~
    Shadow: *yawn* "Its going to be a while before those two teams arrive. I might as well get started on my next trap for Ash."
    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:
    Total Profit: $5,673,936,246,710
    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...."

    Tyson: "Fearow Hyper Beam!"
    James: "Poison Sting!"
    While Fearow is charging up, Cacnea shoots it with Poison Sting knocking it to the ground.
    Referee: "Fearow is unable to battle! James is the winner!"
     
    ~~Team Blaze Base, In front of the main vault, 1937, 10:43 AM, Day 5~~
    Keith: "This is the main vault? Hmmmm. I need to figure out the combination."
    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."

    Shadow: "Hehehe..."
    Pikachu hears this. Shadow then jumps down and heads for the Abandoned House.

    ~~Outside the Main Stadium, Day 5, 10:50AM~~
    Meowth: "Come one come all! Get your Kaikoren Convetion Team Rocket brand T-Shirts, Hats, Badges, Commerative Coins, and lots of other great souvineres!"
    Person: "I want a T-Shirt!"
    Another Person: "I want two badges!"
    Person 3: "I was next!"
    Person 1: "No you weren't!"
    Meowth: "Ahh. Buisness is booming. Ehehehehe."
     
    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."
     
    ~~Pokemon Center, 11:03, 1937~~
    Nurse Joy: "Excuse me, but are you a Pokemon trainer?"
    Gary: "I'm a Pokemon Researcher but I am good at battling too..."
    Nurse Joy: "Then would you mind filling in for one of the Tournament contestants? He had to leave on very short notice and we need to replace him. He already won his first 2 battles and will fight Ian next."
    Gary: "Hmmm OK. Sure."
    Gary signs a piece of paper Nurse Joy hands him.

    ~~Abandoned House, 11:12, 1937~~
    Shadow: "I need to get to work on my Talking Pokemon Pill...."
    Shadow mixes some chemicals and Nidoking runs in and knocks Shadow's hand causing him to drink the potion.
    Nidoking: "Sir! Gary has entered the tournament!"
    Shadow: "That isn't very interesting news,
    and by dangering my life you think I'm amused?"
    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..."
    Shadow: "What's this, I cannot stop!
    You clean up, here's the mop...
    How long before this rhyming will end?
    I hope an antidote I can blend...."
    Nidoking: "Uuuugghhh"

    ~~Stadium 4, 11:15, 1937~~
    Announcer: "And now we begin the next Pokemon Contest Preliminary, with May against Jacob. Judging today will be the Smart Contest Judge!"

    Ash: "Yeah! Go May!"
