Ash, Anna and Zelena (Zekrom) were running through Route 1, wondering what they will run into. Ash was excited to capture his first Unova Pokémon.
"Anna, I think Ash is too excited." Zelena remarked.
"You can say that again!" Anna replied.
Ash then noticed a Pokémon in the bushes. It was an Axew. Ash wanted to catch it. But that was no Axew. It was a girl!
"Ouch!" She exclaimed when the Pokéball hit her.
"Ouch?" Ash and Anna asked at the same time before looking at each other, laughing.
"Those two are somehow synchronized…" Zelena said to herself.
The girl popped out of the bushes. "What was that for?!" She demanded.
Ash and Anna held up their hands in defense. "My brother thought you were a Pokémon!" Anna tried to explain.
After some interrogation from the girl, Axew popped out of her hair. "That's where it was!" Ash realized.
The girl then squealed at the sight of Pikachu and Eevee. She touched their cheeks, but Pikachu shocked her.
"That's what you get when you touch Pikachu like that…" Zelena muttered.
"Hey, I'm Iris!" The girl introduced. "Who are you all?"
"This is a friend of ours. Her name is Zelena." Anna introduced her friend unbeknownst to Iris that this mysterious human girl was actually the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom.
"I'm Annaleigh Ketchum, but people call me Anna for short, including my mom." Anna introduced herself. "This is my twin brother Ashton, but everybody calls him by his short name, Ash."
"Hey, Iris!" Ash greeted. "Nice to meet you!"
Iris squinted at Zelena. "Wait a minute… Black hair and garments… tail turbine necklace… red eyes… something's fishy."
Zelena sweatdropped. "Okay…" she said sheepishly.
"So," Iris went on. "Ash, Anna, and… Zelena. Wasn't there a thunderstorm in Nuvema yesterday?"
"Ohhhh..." Zelena groaned like Commander Jupiter did when she was assigned to guard the Team Galactic helicopter.
"Zelena?" Iris asked. "Are you all right?"
Zelena looked up. "Yeah, I'm all right."
"Yup, Iris. There was. Zekrom caused that!" Ash replied.
Iris went all giddy. "The Legendary Pokémon Zekrom did this? Oh, oh, oh! I want to know everything!"
"Uh…" Anna said.
Later, Ash and Anna explained almost everything.
"I see." Iris said. "Pikachu had a bad day because of Zekrom."
"She must have been up to mischief." Anna replied.
Zelena tried to hide her look of shame from Iris.
"Well Zekrom is a Legendary Pokémon after all!" Iris replied. "I want to meet Zekrom someday! I can't wait to meet her!"
Zelena gasped. "She wants to meet me…" She whispered to herself. "Actually," She spoke to Iris, getting up. "I know Zekrom."
Iris gasped. "You do?"
Zelena smiled. "Of course I know her. She's me!"
Iris gasped again before squealing in delight. "Show me, show me, show me! Please, please, please?"
Zelena nodded. "Sure!" She transformed into her Pokémon form. Iris squealed again.
Zelena turned back into a human. "You really are Zekrom!" Iris cried. "Shake my hand; please?!"
Zelena shook hands with Iris. "Please call me Zelena when we're in public, understood?"
"Yes, I will." Iris replied.
Meanwhile, in the region of Sinnoh, Lake Valor…
"I've had enough of sleeping in this lake. I'm going to find Ash…"
Back in Unova…
Ash got excited when he saw a Pidove. It took a while, but he eventually caught it.
"What a kid…" Iris said.
"What did you call my brother?" Anna asked ominously.
"A little kid." Iris replied. "He acts like one."
"Ash and I are ten years old! We aren't little kids anymore!" Anna insisted. "Plus, he's nine minutes older than me!"
"Uh, I think you mean ten minutes…" Ash corrected his sister.
Just then, Pikachu, Axew and Eevee were grabbed by mechanical hands. "Pikachu! (Axew!) (Eevee!)" Ash, Iris and Anna cried at the same time.
It turned out; Team Rocket had followed the Ketchum Twins to Unova!
"A goes the question, so twerpish, indeed!"
"The answer to come is we feel the need!"
"Bringing the blinding white light of evil into the future!"
"Trusting the hammer of justice down onto the black darkness of the universe!"
"And carving our names in the Rock of Eternity!"
"The fiery destroyer, Jessie!"
"And with the thunderous emotions, I am James!"
"Wisest of the wise, Meowth!"
"Now better!"
"All in the name of Team Rocket!"
"How dare James compare himself to me…?" Zelena muttered.
"Team Rocket!" Ash and Anna yelled.
"Team Rocket?" Iris asked.
"They're bad people who follow me and Ash wherever we go! They'll stop at nothing to capture my Eevee and Ash's Pikachu!" Anna explained.
Ash and Anna didn't stand a chance against Team Rocket. Anna was about to have Zelena turn into her Pokémon Form and Fusion Bolt the Meowth balloon, when the same Oshawott from Professor Juniper's lab came to help out.
"Oshawott?!" Ash was shocked.
Team Rocket got away with a smoke pellet, but Pikachu, Axew and Eevee were freed.
Iris decided to travel with the twins and Zelena.
"Zekrom, I'm glad I got to finally meet you!" Iris said. She and Zelena shared a hug, a sign of true friendship.
Ash, Iris, Anna and Zelena spent the night at a Pokémon Center. They didn't know Oshawott was spying on them…
