Chapter 3

-Ash Pov-

I start opening my eye which hurt a little bit "W-Where am I? Is this the afterlife?" I quietly said

???: "You are finally awake, Ash"

I turn to look to see who said that, and I saw Meowth sitting on the chair there just looking at me. After realizing it Team Rocket Meowth I Immediately trying to get up, but fail, and fall to the ground next to the bed

Meowth: "Don't try to get up, It would only make your recovery longer to recover"

Knowing Meowth is right I stop trying to move and get back up on the bed "So where am I? and what happens?"

Meowth: "I'll tell you when Jesse and Jame is here"

Immediately after Meowth said that 2 strangers enter and they start taking off their clothing to reveal it, Jesse and Jame

Jame: "You're finally awake. I thought you were gonna be in a coma forever"

"Coma? Was I in Coma? How long was I in Coma?"

Jame: "about 10 months"

I was a little shocked when I heard Jame said 10 months, but then again this is Coma, and usually, coma is way longer than that. Jesse then start talking

Jesse: "Anyway, Now your turn to tell us what happens"

I was a little confused about what they meant "what happens?"

Jesse: "Yeah, How did you end up on the river? And why is your body damaged so badly? It looks like you took one hell of a fall. Did you jump from a cliff or something?"

I then remember everything. I remember the part about Pikachu death, My ex-friend trying to kill me, and I jumps off the waterfall to escape from them

After having all of those memories I can feel my face about to let out a tear. Not wanted Jesse, Jame, and Meowth to see me "Hey, can you guys go out for a minute? I promise I won't do something and I will tell you what happens"

Jesse, Jame, and Meowth look at each other then left the room leaving me alone in the room

-Jame Pov-

"I don't think we should ask him to talk about it. Whatever happens I think he probably wanted to keep it to himself"

Meowth: "Yeah, You're right"

After few minutes we went back to the room and saw Ash just sitting on the bed. It's clear he was trying to cover up the fact that he cries

"Look... If you don't want to tell us what happens then it fine, We won't force you to tell us what happens or anything"

Ash: "No, No, I would feel much better if I tell someone else about it. And sorry for making you leave the room. I got to dry away from the tear because I don't get a place for tears now"

Ash then explains what exactly happens to him to Jesse, Me, and Meowth. After few Minutes, probably an hour of explaining"

Meowth: "I'm sorry for the loss of Pikachu. I'm sure Arceus is taking care of him"

Ash didn't respond to Meowth, Instead, he looks like he doesn't want to even say the word Pikachu

"So, Are you going to report them to the Police? They could serve some jail time for attempting murder"

Ash then think for a few seconds then responding with

Ash: "Even if I report them, I think Professor Oak gonna bribe the Police to send them free or use his position as a Professor to free himself and others, and they would know that I'm still alive"

Meowth: "So what you gonna do?"

Ash thinks for a few minutes. He knows he can't own Pokemon anymore because his Licence expires and any professor won't renew it for him. The only way he can own Pokemon is to "Illegally" owns it

Ash: "Do you guys recruit new members? I want to join Team Rocket"

"Yeah, We're recruited. But are you sure you want to join? You will be label as a criminal and be chase by the law officer"

Ash this time didn't think twice about it like before

Ash: "Yeah, I'm sure. I have nothing to lose anyway"

We all look at each other for what to do, then I took out a piece of paper and a pen then write down the address of the place that Team Rocket is recruiting. After finish writing the address on the piece of paper I handed it to Ash

"The address is on the paper. They are recruiting members at that place tomorrow... Alright then, We got to go. We probably gonna meet somewhere"

With that TeamRocket member left the room once again leaving Ash alone in the room

-Flashback End-

-Ash Pov-

Admin: "Alright, You useless grunt, Now that you have your own Pokemon I want you to go train, So you won't be useless. Also, try not to get caught by the Officer. If you are caught don't reveal anything about Team Rocket. If you reveal something about Team Rocket then the Assassin team will come after you, got it?"

All Grunt: "Yes sir!!!"

I then look at the Pokeball I got from Team Rocket "My Magikarp is useless now, since the only move it known is splash which is useless, But If I could use Exp. Share from my PC and Charizard In the PC so it can help evolve it into Gyrados. I should also wear a disguise just in case someone recognized me "Hey Admin sir, Can I get a disguise?"

Admin: "Yeah, sure, turn to your right and head straight. You will find a room say "Clothe Room" You can get what clothes you like there. Make sure to not mix up some clothing in there"

I turn to my right and start heading toward the Clothe Room "I guess this is the clothe room" I thought to myself then enter the clothing room

"I think Mask and Hood are enough to cover me"

After putting on the Hood and Mask

"This should be good enough to hide my identity"

Then I exit the clothing room and making my way out of the Hideout, After I've exited the Hideout I start making my way to a nearby Pokemon Center, on my way I notice 2 people from before "I didn't expect to run into them so fast" I thought to myself then try to not make contact with them

But May notice me since I literally wearing a hoodie in hot summer

May: "Hey, You, aren't you hot in that hood?"

"..No" Then I try to leave, but May get in my way "What do you want now?" I ask with a frustrated voice

Before May could answer me her little brother; Max, stop her

Max: "May, Stop it! We're here to just get some potion for Pokemon Training. Try not to cause any attention toward us"

May: "Fine"

May then get out of my way and I continue making my way to the Pokemon Center. After reaching the Pokemon Center I enter the building and get what I needed from the PC. After getting Charizard and Exp. Share I exited the Pokemon Center and look around to find a great place for leveling up. I find a forest nearby and start making my way there "Should I capture some wild Pokemon?" I ask myself before reaching a beautiful green field

"This should do. Come out Charizard and Magickarp" I then throw Charizard and Magikarp Pokeball to the sky, which summons them. When they came out Charizard roar while Magikarp can't breathe "Oh right, Magikarp is like a fish. It can't breathe air" I then lifted up Magickarp and let it go in a nearby lake, but not before putting the Exp. Share on it.

I look toward where Charizard is "Charizard, Are you ready to fight some wild Pokemon" Charizard roar in response and shoot out the flame from its mouth

I look to my right to find some wild Pokemon and I saw a wild Pidgeotto "Charizard use Flamethorwwer on that Pidgeotto" Charizard starts forming flame from its mouth and shoot a huge amount of flame toward the wild Pidgeotto

Pidgeotto didn't have enough time to react and was hit by Charizard flame <-70> Pidgeotto fall to the ground, and quickly got up with some bruise. Pidgeotto then looks toward where the flame comes from and saw Charizard, which makes it rage at Charizard for suddenly attack him.

Pidgeotto starting to fly upward and then suddenly fly down with Extreme Speed "I know that move it Brave Bird. This is bad It could probably knock Charizard out with it" I thought to myself then commanding Charizard to dodge Pidgeotto's attack

Charizard manages to dodge in the last seconds. Pidgeotto knocks itself out from hitting the ground with extreme speed <Pidgeotto Fainted>

"Phew, That was a close one. Now just need to fight few more Pokemon and Magikarp will definitely evolve into Gyarados" I thought to myself then look around for more wild Pokemon to fight. I saw a few Pokemon crawling around "This gonna take some time. Charizard can you fight them all?" I look toward where Charizard it and it seems like it getting ready for a fight

- a few hours later-

"Charizard, Finish it off with Mega Punch!" Charizard jump close enough to Nidoking and throw a Mega-Punch at Nidoking which knock it out and sending Nidoking flying away

Suddenly light starting to glow around Magikarp <Magikarp is evolving>

I notice this immediately. Magikarp then starting glowing and a light-ball form around it to hide it. After the light-ball around it disappear it reveal not a fish-like Pokemon, but a Red-Gyarados

"I think Red Gyarados mean shiny?" I ask myself not sure if it shiny or not. Then I took out Magikarp Pokeball now a Gyarados and return it back into its Pokeball "I should get some TM because the only move it knows is Splash" I then start walking away from the field, but not before returning Charizard

While on my way back I heard a voice from behind

???: "Hey, You! Stop right there"

I heard a voice and I turn around to see Officer Jenny

Officer Jenny: "I was told by a young lady that her Pokemon was stolen by some guy with a hoodie like yours and a mask. I need you to come to the Police Station with me or I'll have to arrest you"

"Should I come or try to run away? I mean even if I manage to get away and I won't be able to come around here again" I thought to myself then agree to come with her to the Police Station

Officer Jenny then went silent. "I guess she didn't expect me to come without resistance" Then officer jenny begin to speak

Officer Jenny: "Oh, Right, Thank you for cooperating with me. Follow me" Officer Jenny then start leading me to a nearby Police Station

-At Police Station-

Officer Jenny: "Alright, Stay here for a few minutes. I'll let her know we caught someone who fit the description and she can see if it was you or not" Officer Jenny then left the room leaving me alone in it

"I wonder who report me stealing Pokemon? I didn't steal any Pokemon. Maybe This is probably all a mistake, Yeah, I think it a mistake"

-Fews minutes later-

The door then opens and Officer Jenny along with someone I know comes inside the room "Oh, How come I didn't expect it to be May?" I thought to myself not wanted them to hear me

"What did I even do that would offend her this much?" I thought to myself once before speaking out loud "I think you got the wrong person Ms"

Officer Jenny then look toward where May is

Officer Jenny: "Is he the wrong person?"

May: "No, He is the right person. Did he steal my Pokemon and run off"

"Oh, I see she trying to frame me" I thought to myself then ask her "Well, What Pokemon did I steal?" May pause for seconds before saying, "Charmander" I then take out my 2 Pokeball and give it to Officer Jenny "You can check the Pokemon inside, and none of them are Charmander"

Officer Jenny summon the Pokemon in the Pokeball revealing it to be Charizard and a Gyarados. Officer Jenny quickly return the Pokemon to its Pokeball since they took most of the space in the room

Officer Jenny: "He's right, There no Charmander in there"

May pause for another second before saying, "That because he trades it away"

Officer Jenny: "I'm sorry, Ms. But I can't arrest him because there is not enough proof. He will be let go. Do you have other proof? Like is there any Camera when he stole your Pokemon?"

May: "N-No..."

Officer Jenny: "Well, there is no proof, so I'm gonna have to let him go. You're free to go, sir" I thanks her and exited the rooms, But before I could exit the room, I get to look at May angry, then I left the Police Station

I start walking back to the Pokemon Center "Since I'm a Team Rocket member now maybe I should steal some of May Pokemon" I thought to myself before I saw the Pokemon Center. I enter the building and head straight to my room. I immediately felt asleep from the long day I have
