Hunter J

Ash, Tomo and Brock were enjoying their new Pokemon journey in the Sinnoh Region and Dawn was enjoying her first Pokemon journey. They liked seeing new Pokemon, going to new places and meeting new people. There was still much for Dawn to learn, but the boys were there to help her out.

One day the gang came across a house with a big, beautiful garden full of flowers. Suddenly a Salamance flew above them towards the house and somebody was riding it. In the house was a woman named Melodi and her Gardevoir and they took care of the flowers together. Suddenly Salamance landed in front of them. Salamance's owner was a woman with silver hair, and she was dressed like a agent. The woman sent out an Ariados and trapped Melodi with String Shot.

"Gardevoir, get out of here." Melodi told Gardevoir to escape.

Gardevoir used Teleport to make itself invisible, but the woman had special goggles that could help her locate Gardevoir. Once the woman found Gardevoir, she fired a golden beam from a cannon-like device on her left arm and the beam turned Gardevoir into a golden stone statue. Then the woman talked through a speaker and some sort of car appeared, which was driven by some men who worked for her. Emerging from the car was a floating case, which picked Gardevoir up, placed glass over it for protection and went back into the car. Then the woman and her Pokemon began to leave.

Ash was not happy about this and neither were the others. While Dawn, Brock and Tomo helped Melodi, Ash went after the car to get Gardevoir back. He ran down the hill, with Pikachu and Riolu on his shoulders.

"Stop that car." He said.

The car was stopped by Thunderbolt and Aura Sphere.

Just then the woman and her Pokemon turned up.

"Return that Gardevoir immediately!" Ash demanded.

The woman didn't acknowledge that and instead focused on Pikachu and Riolu.

"That Pikachu and Riolu will fetch a nice price." She said.

Ash gasped.

"You're a Pokemon hunter, aren't you?!" He shouted. "Someone who goes around stealing Pokemon and sells them for money!"

The woman smirked.

"You're clever for a kid." She said.

She tossed a Poke Ball and released a big violet Pokemon that looked like a giant scorpion.

Ash looked it up on his Pokedex.

"Drapion, the Ogre Scorpion Pokemon. It has the power in it's clawed arms to make scrap of a car. The tips of it's claws release poison."

"I'd like to see more of your Pokemon's moves." The woman said.

Ash knew the woman really wanted to see how strong Pikachu and Riolu were, but she seemed too dangerous to disobey.

"Pikachu, Swift. Riolu, Quick Attack." He ordered.

Drapion was hit by the attacks. The woman was impressed and decided to take them. She used her cannon to turn Pikachu and Riolu into gold statues and had her minions take them away in cages and into the car.

"Return my Pikachu and Riolu!" Ash demanded.

The woman had her Ariados use String Shot and Ash was tied up by the web. Then the woman and her Pokemon flew away, leaving a very angry Ash behind as he burned through the web.

Team Rocket, who happened to be nearby, saw everything.

"Did you see that?" James asked.

"She reminds me of the Iron Masked Marauder." Jessie said.

"Do you think she'll be good for Team Rocket?" Meowth asked.

"Are you kidding Meowth?" James asked him. "If we had her working for the boss, she would make us agents look bad with those gadgets of hers. Why she would probably make the boss look weak."

Meowth and Jessie saw the point.

"So now what?" Jessie asked.

"I suggest we get away from here before she sees us. Otherwise she might try to come after our Pokemon." James said.

Jessie and Meowth agreed and they went back to their balloon to get away.

Meanwhile Dawn, Tomo, Brock and Melodi caught up with Ash who had just freed himself.

"What happened Ash?" Brock asked.

"That woman took Pikachu and Riolu. She's a Pokemon hunter who steals Pokemon and sells them to make money." Ash explained.

The others gasped when they heard that.

At the same time Team Rocket was about to board their balloon when the woman came up to them.

"What do you want?" Jessie asked, rudely.

"Just here to see if you have any good Pokemon." The woman said.

"Go away lady." Meowth said. "We're not handing any Pokemon over to you."

The woman was surprised that Meowth could speak.

"A talking Meowth will fetch an excellent price on the black market." She said, getting her cannon ready.

"Oh no you don't!" Jessie shouted.

She and James sent out Exploud and Ursaring.

"Use Hyper Beam." They both ordered.

The woman's Salamance used Hyper Beam too; this Salamance proved to be a very, very strong Pokemon because it's Hyper Beam shot right through Exploud and Ursaring's Hyper Beam attacks and knocked them out. Then the woman tied Jessie, James and their Pokemon up with Ariados' String Shot before she captured Meowth.

"Hey give Meowth back!" Jessie shouted, angrily.

Melodi and the gang wanted to run after them, but the woman had a aircraft waiting for her and she left with it. Suddenly Officer Jenny arrived on her motorbike.

"I missed her again." She said.

She then turned to the gang.

"Did that woman take any of your Pokemon?" She asked.

"My Pikachu and Riolu, and Melodi's Gardevoir." Ash said. "Officer Jenny, who is that Pokemon hunter?"

Officer Jenny told them the woman's name was Hunter J, and she was the most dangerous and evil person in the Pokemon world. She was so evil, she would hurt or even kill those that would get in her way, and she shows no emotion whatsoever when it came to stealing and selling Pokemon on the black market. The police in Sinnoh had been pursuing her for a long time. Ash was pissed after hearing that. He met a lot of bad people in the past, but J was the worst.

"We have to get Pikachu and Riolu back." He said, angrily. "I'm not going to allow her to sell them or Gardevoir."

"We do need to go after her to rescue the Pokemon." Officer Jenny said. "But her identity is a real mystery. And after she steals Pokemon she disappears into that aircraft of hers."

"That means we can't chase her." Brock said. "If only we can predict J's next move."

"We can, rather my Espeon can." Ash corrected himself.

He had his Espeon with him and released her. Then he held Hunter J's wanted poster in front of her.

"We need to find out where this woman is heading before she steals someone else's Pokemon Espeon." Espeon looked at the poster and then closed her eyes to predict where Hunter J was going. With the jewel on her forehead, Espeon found out where Hunter J was going and revealed in a telepathic message to everyone where she was going. The vision showed a water mill and then it came to a end.

"Thank you Espeon." Ash said. "Officer Jenny, do you know where that water mill is?"

"Yes it's right at the edge of the forest." Officer Jenny answered.

Officer Jenny quickly contacted the police and told them about Hunter J's next destination.

Meanwhile, in Hunter J's flying ship, Meowth, Pikachu and Riolu were still frozen in the cases and had been placed in a chamber along with Gardevoir. It was then a minion of Hunter J's came into the chamber to photograph the Pokemon.
