Poketchs

After some time the gang finally arrived in Jubilife City. This is where Ash and Dawn could participate in the Pokemon contest. The contest was in three days so the gang could relax for the time being. But there was one thing Dawn wanted to do first; she wanted to get a Poketch. A Poketch was somewhat like a watch, but it was also like having a mini laptop on your wrist because of the features the Poketch had.
"That reminds me." Ash said.
He rummaged through his backpack and took out an envelope. Inside the envelope was a voucher for a pre-ordered Poketch.
"My mom got this for me for my birthday and she said that this pre-ordered Poketch will have special additions to it." Ash said.
"I got one from mom too." Tomo added.
He showed the others his voucher.
Dawn felt a bit jealous because she didn't have a voucher for a special Poketch.
Unfortunately for them the shop that sold Poketch's didn't have any. 
"All of the Poketchs were taken back to the company." The shop keeper explained.
This didn't make Dawn happy as she really wanted a Poketch.
"I know. Let's go to the company where the Poketch is made." Ash said. "I'm sure the president will tell us why they took all the Poketch's back."
Dawn immediately agreed with that idea and they headed to the Poketch company.
Once they got there though the staff at the reception desk didn't let them see the president.
Suddenly a young boy with a Shinx by his side came up to the gang.
"Good I'm glad you don't have those fake Poketch's." He said. 
"What do you mean?" Ash asked.
The boy explained that some clowns had been handing fake Poketch's out in the city.
"I know they are fakes because my daddy never makes cheap Poketch's like that." The boy's name was Landis and his father was the company president of the Poketch company. The president explained that because cheap, fake imitations of Poketch's were being distributed, he had all his products brought back until he resolved the problem.
"Hey sir." Ash said. "My brother Tomo and I got these special vouchers from our mom for a special pre-ordered Poketch. What are the special Poketch's?" 
"That Ash, is our very special product." The president said. "It is special because it has two special apps added that you wouldn't get on other Poketch's." 
"You get a stop watch app and a alarm clock app." Landis said. 
Ash and Tomo felt lucky for getting something as special as that.
Since the president had to resolve the problem with the fake Poketch's, the gang left the company.
"So what will we do to wait for the company to resolve the issue with the Poketch's?" Tomo asked.
"I need to contact Prof. Rowan and tell him about the strange red plate that we found in the forest." Ash said.
"And I need to determine if we are missing anything like medicine and things like that." Brock added.
The gang then went to the Pokemon Center. Ash contacted Prof. Rowan and showed him his red plate.
"Hmm, that's quite the strange item you have Ash." Prof. Rowan said. 
"Do you have any idea what this plate is professor?" Ash asked.
Prof. Rowan thought about it for a second. 
"I'm afraid I don't." He admitted. "But I will look into it for you, Ash."
"Thanks professor." Ash said. "I'll call you again when I find another plate."
Then the phone call ended. The plate felt a lot more mysterious to Ash than ever.
Later that night the gang was getting ready for bed in the Pokemon Center, when Pikachu noticed something outside.
A long line of Pokemon was marching around outside. 
The gang saw it as well and went outside.
"Where are all these Pokemon going?" Dawn asked.
Ash took a look at them.
"They've been hypnotized." He said.
"You're kidding?" Dawn exclaimed.
Suddenly Landis and his dad arrived; Landis's Shinx was missing.
"The fake Poketch's have a microphone inside them and the strange thing is the sound of a Psyduck played through." The president explained.
"And now Shinx has wandered off and we don't know where it is." 
Ash pointed to the line of Pokemon.
"If we follow these Pokemon." He said. "We may find Shinx and we might also find out what's going here."
Everyone else agreed with the idea.
This whole thing was a set up orchestrated by Team Rocket. The trio had planted microphone chips inside their handmade Poketch's and they received help from a wild Psyduck. The Psyduck spoke through a microphone, while Team Rocket broadcasted with a radio tower; it was to hypnotize the Pokemon whose trainers received the fake Poketch's from them. The Pokemon walked into a big storage shed that the trio prepared.
"Okay Psyduck, that's enough." Meowth said.
He gave Psyduck a basket of fruit to say thank you and the Psyduck left.
Suddenly the gang, Landis and his dad appeared. 
"Hey." The president tried to tell the Pokemon to return to their trainers, but they were in too much of a trance to listen.
Just then the storage shed closed and Team Rocket revealed themselves.
"Thanks to our fake Poketch's we've got a good haul." Jessie said.
The gang wasn't happy after hearing that. 
Ash, Tomo and Dawn were about to tell Pikachu, Growlithe and Piplup to attack, but Meowth trapped them in hard plastic cages.
Meowth laughed.
"These three are a good extra." He said.
"I don't think so!" Ash shouted.
He released Masquerain.
"Ice Beam." He ordered.
Masquerain froze Team Rocket and their balloon and the balloon was forced to the ground. Pikachu, Piplup and Growlithe were released from their cages and the shed opened up freeing the Pokemon inside; the crash snapped them out of their trance. Landis was happy to get Shinx back.
Jessie and James were angry and released Ursaring, Carnivine, Shiftry, Granbull, Weavile and Exploud. Tomo sent out his Electabuzz and Magmar to help out, Dawn sent out her Ariados and Brock sent out his Nosepass. Together Pikachu, Masquerain, Growlithe, Magmar, Electabuzz, Piplup, Ariados and Nosepass defeated Ursaring, Carnivine, Shiftry, Granbull, Weavile and Exploud. To finish things off Pikachu used Volt Tackle to send Team Rocket blasting off.
The president was grateful for the gang's help and he promised to get rid of the fake Poketch's immediately. The day after that the real Poketch's were back in the shop ready to sell. So Ash, Tomo and Dawn finally got their Poketch's. Dawn had a pink one, which was for girls, and Ash and Tomo got blue ones, which were for boys. The trio looked to see what apps they had on their Poketch's. Dawn had a digital watch, which was to tell time, kitchen timer, which was like an actual kitchen timer, friendship checker, which could tell how high the bond between a human and Pokemon was, dowsing machine, which could find hidden and lost items, berry searcher, which could determine where berry trees were, and a calendar, to remember days and things. Ash and Tomo's Poketch's had the same features, as well as having the special apps alarm clock and stop watch, they also had the apps memo pad, which was used to write down things you needed to remember and a calculator to do calculations. Dawn was happy to get her own Poketch and now she felt more than ready for the Jubilife Contest.
And so having solved the mystery of the fake Poketch's, the gang could now focus on the Jubilife contest.
