"Congratulations, Ash! You've officially conquered the Battle Frontier!" Scott's eyes shone with admiration as he addressed Ash. "I'm extending an official invitation—how would you like to become one of the Frontier Brains? If you agree, I'll modify the rules to create a brand-new facility just for you." Ash paused, glancing at Pikachu perched on his shoulder and his companions—Misty and May. With a smile, he gently shook his head. "Thank you for the offer, Mr. Scott, but I've made up my mind. I want to keep exploring the vast Pokémon world, seeking new challenges and adventures. That's the life I truly desire." "Pika-pi!" Pikachu chirped in agreement, nodding enthusiastically. Misty and May exchanged knowing smiles. They weren't surprised by Ash's decision—it was just like him to yearn for more adventures. Scott sighed wistfully but nodded. "I understand. It's a shame, though. You're the first to complete the Frontier Challenge in a single attempt. Regardless, the Battle Frontier's doors will always be open for you." Ash smirked playfully. "And don't worry, I might take one of your Frontier Brains with me!" Scott chuckled at the remark, unaware of Ash's hidden plans. As Ash prepared to leave, Reggie approached him. "Ash, I've decided to leave the Battle Frontier. It's not the path for me. I'm returning to Sinnoh to become a Pokémon Breeder." "Sinnoh, huh?" Ash's mind raced. He recalled the upcoming Lily of the Valley Conference. "Alright, Reggie. I'll see you in Sinnoh someday. Best of luck!" "Thanks! Oh, and don't miss the Lily of the Valley Conference. It's a must-see!" With those parting words, Reggie departed, leaving Ash to finalize his own plans. Later, Ash met Scott privately to discuss his research interests. "Mega Evolution and Dynamax, you say? Fascinating!" Scott stroked his chin thoughtfully. "You've piqued my interest. If you move forward with this research, I'm willing to fund it." "Thanks, Mr. Scott. Your support means a lot," Ash replied, his determination blazing. Meanwhile, at Team Rocket Headquarters Jessie and James stood nervously before their boss, Giovanni, seated in his grand chair. "So, that's what happened," Jessie reported hesitantly. Giovanni listened silently, his gaze cold and calculating. "I see. It seems Mewtwo was behind the memory erasure," Giovanni mused, his voice laced with anger and intrigue. He crushed a glass in his hand, the shards scattering across the desk. "Mewtwo..." His eyes gleamed dangerously as he turned to the wall, where an image of Ash Ketchum appeared. "We've confirmed with 70% certainty that Mewtwo is with this boy. Prepare the operation. Once the Kanto and Johto Leagues reduce their focus on us, we'll capture him—and Mewtwo." Jessie and James bowed deeply before leaving the room, their hearts racing from Giovanni's intensity. Giovanni's Plans Unfold After their departure, Giovanni summoned Dr. Namba. "Dr. Namba, I have a new project for you," he said curtly. "Yes, Giovanni. I await your orders." Giovanni leaned back, stroking his Persian. His mind churned with schemes. "We'll expand our operations into Hoenn by absorbing what's left of Team Magma and Team Aqua. Their leaders, Maxie and Archie, are talented—we need them on our side. With their high-ranking officers, we'll establish our own Magma and Aqua divisions under Team Rocket's banner." Pressing a button on his desk, Giovanni connected to one of his operatives stationed in Hoenn. "5th Unit, report." "Sir, we've located Maxie and Archie. Their officers, Courtney, Tabitha, Shelly, and Matt, are under observation. We're initiating contact shortly." "Excellent," Giovanni said, smirking. He stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city skyline stretching endlessly. "Once we've secured their allegiance, Team Rocket will grow stronger than ever. Our reach will extend beyond Kanto and Johto into Hoenn, solidifying our dominance." Turning back to his desk, he lit a cigar, his expression resolute. "Mewtwo... Ash Ketchum... Soon, both of you will belong to Team Rocket. And when that day comes, the Pokémon League will tremble before me!" His laugh echoed ominously as he gazed into the distance, plotting his next move. -------------- T/N: Access 40 Chapters in Advance on my P@treon: [email protected]/PokePals
