On the next morning, Ash took a quick stop at the blacksmith he visited yesterday and got Charizard's armor and Infernape's armband he then immediately flew over Jubilife City on Charizard's back.
Sinnoh International Airport, Jubilife City
Ash with his mask on was currently seated on the airport's lounge waiting for his flight to Kanto when suddenly he sensed a familiar presence near him.
Scanning his surroundings Ash focused on a crowd that came from the arrival zone and saw 2 women, one was a mature woman with long auburn hair and black eyes while the younger woman had honey colored her paired with her beautiful blue eyes.
Ash froze when he saw a yellow rat pokemon sitting on top of the mature woman's shoulder, a bright light flashed beside him and Bayleef who felt Ash's unstable aura rushed out immediately only to see Pikachu along with Delia Ketchum and Serena not too far away.
"Master? MASTER!!" Bayleef shouted trying to catch Ash's attention.
Ash was jolted awake from his daze and caressed Bayleef's head and said, "Thanks Bayleef, I am fine."
Bayleef sighed in relief feeling Ash's aura stabling.
Ash then took out Alakazam and said, "Alakazam, you see that woman with auburn hair right there? teleport her and me out of here."
Alakazam nodded and his spoon started shining with purple hue, *Bzzzt!*
Delia who was walking alongside Serena and Pikachu suddenly disappeared from her spot.
"Ah! Mrs. Ketchum?! Mrs. Ketchum where are you?!" Serena started panicking while Pikachu who fell down also frantically scanned his surrounding trying to look for Delia.
On the roof of the Sinnoh Internation Airport, Ash and Delia appeared simultaneously shocking Delia when she landed her gaze towards a masked man standing in front of her.
But as soon as she focused her attention on the man Delia took gasped and covered her mouth in shock, she slowly approached the masked man and gave him a tight, hug tears were flowing down her eyes.
"My baby, where have you been all these years? I really thought that you were gonna disappear like your father and never come back." Delia said with an aggrieved voice.
Ash took off his mask and hugged his mother back, "I told you that I will be training for a couple of years right? and I am here already so need to be worried about me."
The mother and son kept hugging each other for a few moments when suddenly Delia stepped back and started berating Ash.
"Why am I the only one here? why didn't you also bring Serena didn't you know that she always visited the house just to ask if I have any news regarding your whereabouts?"
Ash scratched the back of his head and didn't know how to answer his mom's question.
Delia kept on reprimanding Ash when suddenly her son aura spiked when she mentioned about Pikachu, she looked at her son who suddenly looked foreign, and asked in a worried tone.
"Are you alright Ash? I know that you hold a grudge against Pikachu but can you find it in your heart to forgive him?" As Delia asked this question 5 bright lights appeared beside her son.
Charizard, Infernape, Samurott, Garchomp, and Sceptile all stood beside her son overwhelming her with their auras. Alakazam and Bayleef who was already outside also stood beside the group forming a semi-circle behind Ash.
Ash looked at his pokemons and turned his attention towards his mom and said, "The 6 of them and Bayleef all stayed behind with me through thick and thin, they were there when all the others left, they were there when I was betrayed again and again. when I almost stopped pursuing my dream they were the ones who stubbornly supported me and told me that they will do whatever it takes to help me achieve my dream. Mom, they are the ones that never stopped believing in me so it will be unfair for them if I will just accept those that left me when they were the ones who stayed with me until the very end."
Delia sighed hearing her son's words and approached her son's pokemon, "Thank you for staying with my son. I know that he might be a handful sometimes so please bear with him."
Bayleef stepped forward and nuzzled her head at Delia's hand sending her a telepathic message, "Don't worry, we will never let Master suffer with us around."
Delia was momentarily shocked then smiled at Bayleef and said with gratitude, "Thank you."
She then turned her attention back towards her son and gave him a tight hug and teased, "Seeing you all grown up now when will you start dating? I met a lot of your friends and I never knew that my son would be such a playboy out there. Imagine my shock when I saw May, Dawn, and Serena all beautiful ladies living in different regions."
Ash could only smile wearily hearing this and replied in a helpless voice, "Mom, you don't need to worry about your son's romantic life."
But Delia shook her head and said glaring at Ash, "Don't worry you say? how could I not worry when 3 beautiful ladies always visit me just to ask where my handsome son is every single year."
Ash was really helpless and could only concede in defeat, "I understand Mom but can you please let me achieve my goal first before rushing me to have a girlfriend?"
Hearing this Delia nodded in satisfaction and asked, "So seeing that you are here means that you are leaving Sinnoh?"
"That's right Mom, I will be going to Kanto for a while and return here to participate in the Sinnoh League." Ash replied not even hiding anything from his beloved mother.
"That is good then, I will still have some time and travel Sinnoh along with Serena and Dawn," Delia said not even caring what her son will be doing in Kanto.
The two of them kept talking for a few more minutes when Ash said, "Mom, looks like the police are already here and trying to find you."
Delia rolled her eyes and reprimanded her son, "Who told you to kidnap your own Mother?! go on then, before they think that you are some bad guy trying to hurt this beautiful woman."
Ash chuckled then gestured to Alakazam who immediately teleported him out, a few moments later a group of cops arrived at the rooftop and saw Delia staring at the sky.
"Are you Delia Ketchum? may I know what happened?" Officer Jenny approached Delia and asked.
Delia kept on staring at the sky and replied turning her attention at Officer Jenny, "Nothing happened Officer, someone I knew teleported me here using his pokemon so I am sorry for causing a disturbance."
Officer Jenny sighed in relief and took Delia back for a few more questions, Ash who was currently floating in the sky smiled seeing his mother leaving.
After meeting with his mother, Ash went back inside the airport lounge only to see Meowth searching around the area with a worried look on his face.
Chuckling at Meowth's over the top reaction Ash approached the feline and patted his head, "Are you looking for a mouse?"
Meowth flinched he felt someone touched him and turned around to see Ash smirking, he glared at Ash and said, "Where have you been?! I was worried that you chickened out and won't help Jessie and James."
Ash smiled and replied, "Don't worry Meowth, seeing how deeply worried you are about your friends situation I will not renege on our deal."
He then pointed towards the huge screen and said, "Looks like our flight is already here, we should board now so that we can reach Kanto soon."
While Ash and Meowth boarded their plane, Delia finally reunited with Serena and Pikachu who were both worried at her sudden disappearance.
"What happened Mrs. Ketchum? you just disappeared out of thin air." Serena asked in confusion, Pikachu jumped on Delia's shoulder and rubbed his face on her cheeks.
Caressing Pikachu's head Delia replied, "An acquaintance teleported me to meet him, he was kinda extra for doing all that but all is good and we just had a small talk."
Serena nodded sighing in relief that nothing happened to Delia or else she wouldn't know how to explain it if she meets Ash in the future.
The group exited the airport but as soon as they stepped out, the space around them started distorting and Pikachu who was standing on Delia's shoulder was sucked into the void.
"Pikachu!" Delia shouted trying to grab Pikachu's hand but to no avail, Pikachu was already gone. Delia was completely panicking right now when Serena suddenly said.
"Mrs. Ketcum look at your shoulder there seems to be a mark on your dress."
Delia immediately glanced at her right shoulder and saw a familiar mark embedded into her dress, seeing the familiar mark Delia closed her eyes and sighed in relief. A few moments later she looked at Serena who had a worried look across her face and said with a smile.
"Don't worry about Pikachu, he was taken by an idiot." Delia then grabbed Serena's hand who was still confused and they started walking around Jubilife City.
Pikachu who was suddenly sucked by a black hole looked at his surrounding and focused his attention on a middle-aged man who had a handsome face with black hair, Pikachu eyes started tearing up seeing the middle-aged man and dashed towards him burying his head on the man's chest crying his heart out.
Rubbing Pikachu's head the middle-aged smiled warmly and said, "There, there, looks like you and that brat had a small disagreement with each other. but no need to worry Pikachu you'll be staying with me for the time being and will reunite with him when the time is right."
The middle-aged man then glance at the huge light purple theropod-like pokemon with stripes on its body floating on top of him and said, "Thank you for bringing Pikachu here Palkia."
Palkia roared in response and said telepathically, "It is only natural for me to accept a request from a guardian."
The space around them started distorting and soon the three of them disappeared into space.
Kanto Region
Ash and Meowth finally reached Kanto, looking at the familiar surrounding Ash took a deep breath and said, "They were right when they said that returning to one's home region is the best feeling."
He then looked at Meowth and said, "My friend isn't here yet so I think it is time for us to go save your two friends then."
Meowth turned his head at Ash and asked doubtfully, "Are we just gonna barged in the headquarters without a proper well thought plan?"
Ash shook his head and replied with confidence, "Planning is only done if you are weaker than your opponent but if you are confident in your strength then you can just overpower them and we are just gonna save Jessie and James we will not be fighting Giovanni or Mewtwo so no need to worry too much."
He really didn't plan on attacking Mewtwo without consulting Mew first because he wanted to be sure what kind of pokemon Mewtwo is and if he has any sort of connection to Mew knowing that he was Mew's clone.
Taking out Charizard, Ash asked Meowth where the headquarters was and they immediately flew towards there without wasting any time.
Team Rocket Head Quarter
The Rocket's base was situated deep inside a huge mountain numerous checkpoints could be seen posted in different locations preventing outsiders from entering.
In one of those checkpoints a few Team Rocket grunts were guarding the area when all of a sudden a huge Charizard flew by them with great speed, knowing that it was headed towards the main base the grunt took out a communication device and reported.
"Report! a huge Charizard passed by checkpoint 1-A and is headed towards the main base as we speak."
The command center inside the base received the report and immediately mobilized a troop of grunts towards Charizard's location.
Riding on top of Charizard. Ash and Meowth saw a troop of flying pokemon blocking their path, sneering at their futile attempt Ash commanded.
"Burn everything in your path and let loose Charizard."
*ROOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!*
A huge roar resounded the entire mountain making those weak willed pokemon tremble in fear, the flying troops the was blocking them flinched upon sensing terrifying aura but they still stood their ground and attacked Charizard with different types of skills.
Sneering at the incoming attacks Charizard took a deep breath and released a terrifyingly enormous flamethrower engulfing the attacks and continued its way towards the pokemon.
*Swooosh!*
The entire sky was covered in smoke and pokemons were falling down one by one clearly burnt looking at the color of their skin/feathers.
Charizard didn't even glance at the falling pokemon and continued his way towards the mountain who was now on high alert, you could hear sirens resounding all over the mountain and grunts were converging toward the north where Charizard's location was.
Among the grunts was a man with buzzed cut hair and a deep scar across his face, he stood in front of the grunts and commanded.
"All of you who have water pokemons go to my left side and those who have ground/rock pokemons go to my right. for the water pokemons only use water gun or hydro pump while the ground/rock used sandstorm and stone edge to attack that lizard."
"Yes, Leader!" The grunts saluted at the buzzed cut man.
He then took out a Pokeball and a savage looking Nidoking appeared beside him, "Later on use hyper beam after those grunts weaken Charizard, and don't forget not to show any mercy." the buzzed cut man ordered.
Nidoking nodded and stared at the Charizard who already stopped a few kilometers in front of them.
The buzzed cut man raised his head and shouted, "Attack! bring that Charizard down!"
As soon as he finished his command a barraged of attacks erupted and flew towards Charizard.
"Heh, looks like they really respect your strength Charizard. let's show them what you got then use fireblast but don't overdo it lest you destroy the mountain." Ash said shocking Meowth who was beside him.
Charizard roared and soared into the sky, he then looked down on the sea of pokemon below him and started releasing flames around him. the flames that surrounded Charizard started converging and a humungous star-shaped flame formed in the air releasing a terrifying heat.
"Go! Blast those scumbags and make them disappear!"
*ROOOOARRR!!!* *BOOOOM!!!!*
A humungous star-shaped fire blast was shot towards the grunts and pokemons submerging then in flames of hell.
"AH!!"
"Help me!! I'm burning!!"
"Save me! Save me! pleaaasee!!"
Scream of terror and fear could be heard across the mountain but what was weird was that only the grunts were affected by the flames and the pokemons beside them only felt warm from Charizard's attack.
The leader of the grunts was also not spared and before he even got the chance to showcase his Nidoking he was burned into ashes along with the grunts behind him.
Nidoking kneeled upon experiencing the fireblast that wiped out a platoon of grunts, he glanced beside him only to see a pile of ashes on the ground. seeing those pile of ashes rage overtook Nidoking and he glared hatefully at Charizard.
"Nido-Nidoking!!! Nidoking!!" Nidoking shouted and pointed at Charizard, savagery was written all over his face.
Charizard glanced at Nidoking raging below and snorted not caring about the puny ant that was throwing a tantrum below.
Ash who was riding on top of Charizard was rubbing his chin and asked the feline pokemon, "You said that this is the Team Rocket's main HeadQuarters but why are there only ant level trainers at pokemons here?"
Hearing Ash's question Meowth didn't know how to reply and could only say, "Giovanni is a careful man, he doesn't usually stay on a specific base and will move from different bases every single time. that is why until now the pokemon league couldn't catch him."
Ash nodded his head in understanding and commanded Charizard to enter the Team Rocket base because he still needs to rob them and take some precious materials if they ever had some in their vault.
