Raven haired Ash Ketchum stood in line at the Hoenn Region Airport. On his shoulder was his yellow mouse pokemon, Pikachu. Behind them, checking out the flight attendants, was their brunette friend Brock. Ash had to practically drag his older, yet more immature friend to the front desk, flashing their tickets. The assistant nodded, and a Machop opened the iron door that lead to the plane. Ash dragged Brock onto the plane, finding their seats. He plopped down in his chair, pulling Brock down with him. He sighed, waving a hand in front of Brock's face. "I hope I never end up like him?"
------------
A red haired girl wearing sunglasses and a black hat flashed her ticket, pulling a young child behind her. A guy her age followed, flashing two more tickets. He wore the same thing as she did, and could be assumed as her brother, or boyfriend. They found their seats, and sat down. The girl noticed Ash and Brock a few isles down and smiled, nudging her friend. He blinked, looking in the direction his friend was gazing in. He chuckled. "Ah?what a darling looking Pikachu they have." His friend nodded in agreement. "Electric pokemon are adorable" she agreed, turning to look out the window.
------------
Ash flipped through a guide book that Professor Oak had sent him. He looked over a colorful map. "Most of Amona is covered in water." he murmured, tracing the towns with his finger. Brock nodded. "Yea. It's gunna be exciting to explore everything." he said. Ash and Brock, and the plane full of trainers, were heading to a newly discovered region, Amona. The region had been civilized, and Pokemon trainers were continuing their journeys there. Ash was quite excited. Not too long ago, he had finished his Hoenn Journey, and Professor Oak informed him soon after about Amona. May and Max, Ash's traveling partners, had decided against going. May was working on her new job as a Pokemon Coordinator, along with her boyfriend Drew. Max wanted to start his pokemon journey from the beginning, and he had headed back to Kanto. Brock decided to follow Ash. He had traveled through Kanto, Johto and Hoenn with Ash, and he wanted to stick with him.
The two of them turned their attention to the flight attendant as she turned on her microphone. "Welcome to Pidgeot Airlines. Please fasten your seatbelts and secure all belongings and pokemon. We will be taking off in a few minutes" she said with a smile. As she turned off her microphone, people started to click on their seatbelts, chattering excitedly. Ash buckled his seatbelt, putting Pikachu in his lap. They'd be taking off in a few minutes. How exciting!
------------
A few seats back, the red headed girl snapped on her seatbelt, giggling like a child. "This is quite exciting." she said. Her partner nodded. "Indeed. We'll be taking off in just a few minutes!" he said, snapping on the child's seatbelt. The child giggled, nodding. The girl pulled out a guide book similar to Ash's, examining it. "Wow?this place looks quite big.." she murmured. Her partner glanced at the booklet, nodding. "Yep. It will be quite an adventure, just like old times." he said, leaning back as the plane engine started.
------------
Ash grinned as Pikachu squealed in excitement. The plane started moving down the runway, gaining speed as it lifted into the air. Ash looked out the window, watching the airport get smaller and smaller as they took flight. He then turned back to his guide, looking at the information on the Pokemon League. Brock was doing some research on his backpack sized laptop that he had received from Professor Oak as a going away present. Professor Oak, however, had not told Ash what his present was. He told him that it would be waiting for him at the airport in Amona. Ash couldn't wait to find out what it was?
------------
Meanwhile, the threesome a few rows back were getting restless. The guy turned to the girl. "Now?" he asked. She sighed and nodded. "Fine. Now then." She stood up, brushing her skirt off. The boy giggled, standing up. "Finally. I was getting bored."
------------
Ash looked up as two flight attendants walked up. One of them smiled. "Can we get you anything?" he asked. The other noticed Pikachu. "Oh! How DARLING!" she squealed, picking him up. She scratched Pikachu behind the ears. Ash grinned. "Yea. Pikachu is cute, huh?" he said. The flight attendants nodded. "Yanno, we have a pokemon daycare in the back. The pokemon play games and watch movies. Shall we take your Pikachu back there?" the girl asked. "Uh?sure I guess." Ash replied, blinking. The attendant smiled. "Wonderful." she said. She pushed Pikachu into a bag. Ash and Brock jumped up as the flight attendants started to laugh.
"Prepare for trouble, and make it fast." the female cooed.
"Make it double, Team Rocket's flying first class." the male recited.
"To protect the world from devastation."
"To unite all peoples within our nation"
"To denounce the evils of truth and love"
"To reach out to the stars above"
The girl pulled her sunglasses and apron off. "Jessie."
The guy did the same. "James."
"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light."
"Surrender now or prepare to fight, fight, fight."
The child with them shed its clothes. "Meowth that's right!"
Ash growled. "Team Rocket!" he yelled, clenching his fists. They'd followed them again, probably for the same reason as always. To get Pikachu. And this time, they had the upper hand. Pikachu was the only pokemon Ash had with him. The others had to be left in Hoenn. This time Team Rocket might win.
Unfortunately for Team Rocket, however, they weren't expecting a bumpy flight. The plane bumped, sending Jessie, James, and Meowth tumbling to the floor. Ash and Brock grabbed hold of the chairs in front of them, managing to keep their balances. The bag containing Pikachu flew into the air, landing in an empty seat. Ash jumped onto Brock's chair and then jumped to the aisle, running to the bag. He managed to get there before Meowth, who had regained himself faster than his human companions. Ash freed Pikachu, who faced Meowth angrily. Ash was about to command Pikachu to attack, but Brock stopped him. "Ash! We're on a plane! You can't attack them here!" he called out. Ash sighed. Brock was right. But what to do with Team Rocket? He turned to Jessie and James, only to find that they had taken Meowth and had disappeared. Ash blinked, looking around. Where could they have gone?
