Chapter 61: Team Battle at Cinnabar Gym
"How did you get here so fast Anthony? I could've sworn I was a couple days ahead of you, and the ferry that took me here wasn't going to be coming back for a few days." Nara wondered. "Well, it's a long story. Let's just say a couple of friends took me here." Anthony replied, scratching the back of his head. "I wish I would've known you were coming here so fast, I would've gone to try and win my badge already." Nara sighed. "Well, look's like you're going to have to wait until I'm done." Anthony smiled. "Is that a challenge?" Nara questioned with a smile.
Pikachu remained on Anthony's shoulder. The two both darted off in search of the gym as a race.
"He's moving, let's follow him!" one of the shadowy characters pointed out.
Anthony and Nara both arrived at the same to the location where a newly built gym stood. The two looked at each other and darted through the door.
"Oh ho, looks like we have some guests." an old man said. "I have to challenge the gym leader!" Anthony exclaimed. "Oh no you don't, I was here first!" Nara contrayed. "Enough both of you, you both made it through at the same. I am the gym leader, Blaine's the name. Anyways, I'm rather tired, so wake me up when you two decide who'll challenge me first. After all, they do say two heads are better than one." the old man sighed.
Anthony and Nara both looked at each other.
"Let's see just how much you've improved." Nara smiled. "Right back at ya." Anthony responded.
Both approached Blaine.
"So, have both of you decided?" Blaine asked. "You want to take both of us on at the same time, don't you?" Anthony questioned. "Good guess. I suppose it is a little unfair, after all it would take at least three of you to beat me." Blaine laughed. "I think he's belittling us." Nara told Anthony. "What do you say Pikachu, shall we teach this old geaser a lesson?" Anthony asked Pikachu. "Yes, let's." Pikachu agreed.
Blaine smiled and got out of the chair he was in. He walked to the other side of the building and turned around. Blaine explained that it would be a 2-on-2 pokemon battle, with 4 pokemon in all. Anthony and Nara would both get 2, well Blaine got 4. He explained also that they both pass and fail together.
"I choose you Rapidash and Rhydon!" Blaine called out. "If that's the case, I choose you Charmeleon!" Nara said. "Then I'll choose Squirtle!" Anthony decided. "Okay then, let's begin!" Blaine announced.
Suddenly outside, one tourist passed by and looked through the doors.
"Hey everybody, there's a battle going on inside!" he shouted.
Tourists from all over began to flock inside the building, gathering around the trainers.
Chapter 62: Double Battle
"Rapidash, use Flamethrower now!" Blaine ordered. "Squirtle, Water Gun!" Anthony countered.
The two attacks clashed against each other until both cancelled each other out. Charmeleon suddenly intercepted between the two.
"Anthony, you take care of Rhydon, Charmeleon doesn't have much of a chance against him." Nara said. "Right." Anthony agreed.
Blaine told Rapidash to use Take Down, but Charmeleon jumped into the air and onto Rapidash's back. Since Chamreleon was fire-type, the flames did little damage.
"Slash now!" Nara yelled.
Charmeleon began slashing at the pokemon back, causing it to run around in pain, ramming its back into the building walls where no tourists had gathered. Meanwhile, Anthony had Squirtle use Water Gun. Rhydon dodged the attack and used Horn Drill. Squirtle moved around to dodge it, knowing one hit would mean a knock out.
"I just got an idea." Anthony smirked.
Anthony noticed that Charmeleon and Rapidash both wouldn't hold out for much longer. Anthony told Nara to have Charmeleon move. Charmeleon jumped out of the way and Anthony told Squirtle to use use Water Gun on Rhydon's spinning horn. The water hit dead-on, causing water to spalsh everywhere, including at Rapidash. Rapidash fainted from the extra damage and Rhydon became distracted. Squirtle then finished it off with another Water Gun. The crowd cheered loudly.
"Hey, isn't that one kid the champion's son?" one tourist asked. "Hey, you're right." another realized.
The crowd began cheering for Anthony and Nara.
"Nice job!" Nara complimented. "You did well yourself." Anthony replied.
Squirtle suddenly began glowing. Squirtle had evolved into Wartortle.
"Way to go!" Anthony cheered. "You kids did well, but your luck ends here." Blaine cackled.
Blaine called back his pokemon and called out a Ninetails and his Magmar.

There's an important event in this fic coming up soon, and I want to get to it. So, I'll be post-poning the next chapters of my YGX fic for a little while.
Chapter 63: Break through the Heat
Nara looked at Charmeleon.
"You're too exhuasted to keep going, so return. Then, I choose you Jolteon!" Nara announced.
Nara threw another pokeball after retunring Charmeleon, and a Jolteon came out. The match continued, and both trainers told their pokemon to attack Blaine's. Blaine's pokemon both avoided the attacked.
"Ninetails, Imprison on Wartortle!" Blaine ordered.
Ninetails' eyes began to glow, and Wartortle found himself unable to use any water-type attacks. Ninetals then used Heat Wave to finish the pokemon off.Anthony recalled his pokemon and sent out Typhlosion. Jolteon continued to try and hit Magmar, but failed to do so. Magmar used Flamethrower to melt part of the ground. Jolteon stepped on it and was unable to move. Magmar powered up a Fire last attack and released it. Typhlosion intercepted the attack, holding it back.
"That pokemon's pretty powerful." Blaine admitted.
Anthony told Nara to deal with Ninetails, and Nara nodded his head. Jolteon broke free and charged at Ninetails. Jolteon used Quick Attack and slammed itself into Ninetails. Ninetails wa sknockced back and got back to its feet, only to have Jolteon use Thunder Wave and paralyze it. Blaine knew Ninetails was in trouble. This caused Anthony to realize Blaine was distracted and had Typhlosion use Flame Wheel. Typhlosion's attack struck Magmar hard, but didn't finish it off. Typhlosion used Quick Attack on Magamar and knocked it back again. Typhlosion jumped into the air and pounced on Magmar, causing it to faint. The crowd cheered loudly as Blaine recalled his pokemon.
"I would've expected nothing less from the two of you. Both of you, especially you Anthony, are becoming great just like your fathers. I now present the hottest badge around, the Volcano Badge, to both of you." Blaine announced.
Blaine handed them both a badge and the two looked at each other.
"One more to go." Nara stated. "Yeah, one more until I get to cream you." Anthony laughed. "We'll see..." Nara smirked.
Pikachu smiled as he heard both of them. The two laughed together as the crowd slowly vanished. The two went to the Pokemon Center to heal their pokemon.
"Well, the next ferry doesn't leave until tomorrow, so I guess we'll be leaving together." Nara said. "Yeah, but I wish we didn't have to wait so long. The Pokemon League is so close, and I want to have as much time as possible to train after getting my final badge." Anthony sighed. "Do you need a ride?" a voice asked.
The two trainers looked backwards and saw two mysterious figures standing behind them.
Chapter 64: The Strangers
"You're Anthony Ketchum, right?" one figure asked. "Yeah, what about it?" Anthony wondered. "Your father has asked us to escort you to Viridian City personally, for safety reasons." the other said.
The characters stepped into the light. One character was a male who had long blue hair, with a gray shirt and a black robe around it. The other was a female who had longer red hair, with a purple uniform and a gray cape.
"My father?" Anthony questioned. "Yes." the woman answered. "I would trust them Anthony, they might be kidnappers or thieves." Nara warned.
Pikachu hopped off Anthony shoulder and examined them.
"Nah, I think we can trust them." Pikachu told Anthony. "Well, if Pikachu trusts you, then I do too." Anthony decided. "Well I don't." Nara said. "It's alright if you don't, we don't really have enough room for anyone else anyways." the man replied. "Well then, I guess I'll see you later Nara. You better make it to the league!" Anthony stated. "Yeah, you too." Nara smiled.
Anthony picked up his pokemon and waved good bye. He followed the strangers to the edge of the island where a speedboat was waiting for them.
"It's about time you two got here!" a voice complained.
Just then, a strange looking Meowth emerged from the boat. The Meowth could talk in the human tongue. Anthony notcied that in the boat was a Growlithe too. The Growlithe approached the man and licked his face.
"Thanks for watching over the boat Growly." the man thanked. "Who are you guys?" Anthony asked. "Oh, forgive our manners. My name is Jessie." the woman introduced. "And I'm James." the man added. "Don't forget about me, Meowth!" the Meowth included.
Anthony boarded the boat with Pikachu and the group took off. Jessie and James told Anthony about how they knew his father, what they used to do, and how his father hired them because he was worried about something. They admitted though, that Ash had not told them what exactly they were protecting Anthony from. Ash did hire them to watch over him until he was safely in Viridian City.
"I guess that explains a lot." Anthony responded. "Don't worry, your father loves you. Otherwise he wouldn't have hired us. I'm sure you'll see him in the very near future." James assured.
It only took about a few hours for the group to finally arrive back at shore. Now it was only a few miles to walk. They stopped for lunch and James called his Manene and Cacnea. Jessie called out Dustox, Seviper, Wobbuffet, and a familiar looking Blissey. Shortly after, they packed up and continued on. Before they knew it, they were in Viridian City.
To be continued...
Next time: Anthony challenges the Viridian Gym Leader and parts ways with Jessie and James.

That was something I didn't see coming, so Blissey, you want to explain that one?

It has to do with Jessie's profession. In reality, I hadn't planned on explaining it until the Jhoto region. I'm not sure if I'll post it after I finish the Kanto league. If I do, you'll find out, if not, then I'll explain what would've happened.
If you think that was unexpected, just wait until you see the event I mentioned.

Chapter 65: The Final Gym
It was already getting late when they arrived in the city.
"I'm not used to having lunch that late." James said. "At least times aren't like before where we had to struggle just to have lunch." Jessie reminded. "Yeah, you have a high paying job, and he finally accepted a portion of his inheritance." Meowth added.
Anthony realized that it was too late to stop at teh gym, so he went to the Pokemon Centrer to crash for the night. Not having a place ether, the group decided to accompany him. Anthony had trouble falling asleep that night, his anticipation for the next day was too great. When the next day arrived, the group went together to get breakfast. They then parted ways after reaching the gym. Anthony and Pikachu waved good bye as they entered. Inside was a very old lady.
"Here for a badge I pressume?" the lasy wondered. "You got it." Anthony replied. "Right then. My name is Agatha, leader of the Viridian City Gym." the lady introduced.
Anthony was amazed by how old the woman looked. He was almost impressed that she looked very healthy for her age.
"We'll be battling with two pokemon each. Ready, begin!" Agatha annoucned.
Anthony nodded his head in agreement.
"Typhlosion, you're up!" Anthony decided. "Come on out Misdreavous." Agatha called out.
The two pokemon faced each other, ready to battle.
Chapter 66: The Last Badge Battle
"Typhlosion, use Flmaethrower!" Anthony shouted. "Right." Typhlosion replied.
Typhlosion began relasing streams of fire at the ghost pokemon, but Misdreavous doged the attacks.
"Perish song!" Agatha ordered.
The ghost's eyes began to glow as Typhlosion continued to attack it.
"Dig!" Anthony ordered.
Typhlsion dug underground, and the ghost looked around frantically.
"Now use Fire Blast!" Anthony exclaimed.
Misdreavous looked down as a stream of fire burst from the ground, knocking the pokemon out. However, Typhlosion was too late, as Perish Song took effect and caused Typhlosion to faint. Both trainers recalled their pokemon and chose their next ones.
"Go Gengar." Agatha decided. "Alright Pikachu, your turn." Anthony said, turning to his friend on his shoulder. "I'll do my best." Pikachu promised, jumping down.
Gengar used Night Shade on Pikachu, but Piakchu quickly avoided it. It then used Astonish, hitting Pikachu. It didn't do much dmage, but it caused Pikachu to flinch. This allowed Gengar to use Hypnosis and put Pikachu to sleep.
"No, Pikachu!" Anthony cried. "It's over." Agatha laughed.
Gengar used Dream Eater on Pikachu, causing him to take heavy damage. Pikachu let out screams in his sleep as Gengar continued to inflict damage upon him.
"Pikachu, wake up!" Anthony screamed.
Pikachu suddenly imagined Anthony in his mind and imagined him being hurt. Pikachu let out a powerful shock that knocked Gengar backwards. Pikachu woke up, panting heavily. Gengar was still healthy, but noticed it was paralyzed.
"This isn't good, Gengar rarely gets afected by things like ths." Agatha panicked. "Now Piakchu, let's turn the tables! Thunder, give it all you've got!" Anthony shouted.
Pikachu powered up and released his attack on Gengar, knocking it out. It was probably luck, but Anthony did manage to win. Pikachu stumbled wearily, but regained his balance.
To be continued...
Next time: Ash is in Viridian City, but why would he be there. Evidence points to only one possible explanation...Cyber Mew is there too!

Chapter 67: Cyber Mew Shows Himself
"You did well." Agatha complimented.
Agatha handed Anthony his final badge.
"I'm sure your father would be proud of you." Agatha stated. "Thank you." Anthony replied.
Anthony picked Pikachu up and waved good bye to Agatha. He then proceeded to leave the gym. Meanwhile, unbeknownest to him, Ash was in Viridian City as well.
"Hey, isn't that the champion?!" one person gasped. "No way!!!" another gasped. "And look who's with him!" another pointed out.
With Ash was Jet, Lance, and Red.
"I really don't like walking in public like this. Out of all of the places, why did he have to pick such a populated city?!" Ash groaned.
Pikachu and Eevee both comformted him. Ash heaved a sigh. The group found it hard to keep people from crowind around them. As Anthony exited the gym, he overheard some citizens talking.
"Did you hear? The champion is hear in Viridian City!" one announced. "What?!" Anthony gasped.
Anthony ran up to the stranger and asked about his dad. The man admitted that he hadn't seen Ash, only heard about him. Anthony darted off as fast as he could.
"Boss!" a voice called.
Ash looked over and saw Jessie and James.
"What are you guys doing here? I thought you were going to wait at Cinnabar Island for Anthony." Ash wondered. "About that...you see, he showed up faster than we expected. He's here already." James informed. "We dropped him off at the gym. You said you wanted us to protect him until he was safely here." Jessie said. "No you idiots, you were supposed to watch over him until he was out of the city!" Ash reminded.
Everyone could tell how nervous Ash was.
"What are you so worried about anyways?" Jessie questioned. "I'm worried, because he's here!" Ash answered.
Jessie and James knew who Ash was talking about and began to show signs of fear.
"Uh, Anthony's coming." Meowth warned. "What?!" Ash panicked.
Everyone except Ash peeked around the corner, Anthony was indeed just around it. Ash began to panic as he hid behind the corner. Suddenly he hear Anthony's voice.
"It's you!" Anthony announced.
At first Ash thought it was him, but then he realized he wasn't the one Anthony was talking about. He peeked around the corner to see a white Mew in front of Anthony.
Chapter 68: Abduction
The Mew began laughing.
"So, you remember me?" the Mew cackled. "I could never forget you Cyber Mew!" Anthony snarled. "I knew you'd come here eventually." Cyber Mew smirked.
Ash remembered a cyber pokemon he and the other encountered a month ago. It was a Cyber Machamp. After defeating it, he had been given a warning that he would lose someone very important to him. He knew Misty could defend herself, but he wasn't sure about his son. That is the reason he originally hired Jessie and James.
"Quickly, get him!" Ash and Lance both ordered.
Ash gave a loud whistle for Lugia, who flying high overhead. Everyone sent out their pokemon and dashed around the corner. Cyber Mew knew what was coming and turned around.
"You're too late!" he announced.
Anthony held onto Pikachu tightly as he looked past Cyber Mew. He noticed everyone coming towards him.
"Daddy?!" Anthony gasped.
Before anything more happened, Cyber Mew disappeared in a flash, taking Anthony with him. Ash stopped in his tracks and slammed his fist on the ground.
"Darn it!" he cursed.
Ash slammed his fists again.
"You took my son..." Ash cried.
Anthony looked around as he was now inside an old looking castle tower.
"Welcome to my lair." Cyber Mew laughed.
Pikachu prepared to attack the cyber pokemon. Before he could do anything though, Cyber Mew used a powerful Disable attack. Pikachu couldn't do a thing.
"What did you do to him?!" Anthony demanded.
Cyber Mew used Psychic on Anthony, causing him intense pain.
"Relax, I have no intention of killing you or your friend there, even though you've killed some of mine. I will let you go after I get what I want from that man." Cyber Mew explained.
Cyber Mew released his hold on Anthony and stared at him.
"Now, be a good little obedient slave and follow my friend here to your holding cell. There you shall remain until I am though with you. If you're lucky, I may not have to use you in any experiments." Cyber Mew said.
Anthony lost color in his eyes and appeared to be in some kind of trance. A Cyber Alakazam entered the room and led Anthony, while carrying Pikachu, to is cell. Anthony went inside and sat down.
"Now then Ash, it's time you and I had a meeting in private." Cyber Mew cackled.
To be continued...
Next time: What is Cyber Mew after? And what does he plan on doing with Anthony?
