Team Rocket was no longer a problem now. The Sailor Scouts, the Mew Mews and the trainers were thankful to have everyone pitch in to save the red Gyarados from Team Rocket. Now with Lance, Gyarados could rest easily. Lance and Serena shook hands as the girls shook hands with the other teams. This also gave Brock one more chance to get someone, this time with Zoey as the target. "Perhaps you're the ones who can use that ring to secure us in everlasting romance," he tried to swoon while clasping her hands.

"Are you this way with every girl?" asked Zoey.

"Only those who have what I look for in a pretty girl." This got on the nerves of the Sailor Scouts since all he was after showed more skin.

"Now hold on a second, Brock!" shouted Lita as she ripped his hands from Zoey. "Don't we count as well?!" Raye and Mina also rushed the lovelorn tanned young man.

"Well… I, uh..."

"Are we not pretty enough for you?" yelled Raye as she joined in scolding Brock back.

"That's not- uh!"

"Are we not sexy enough for you?" snarled Mina.

"No, I-I mean-" Poor Brock needed some help from the Sailor Scouts as Zoey shook Brock's hold from her hands. "Ash, I could use your help with these girls!" Ash just crossed his arms in surrender, realizing that Brock wouldn't understand their disgusts from either him of Misty.

"He'll never learn," she mulled. Not willing to give in so easily, although it was rather obvious at that point, Ash tried to make an example of how to… properly treat a lady.

"Brock, here's how I do it," he spoke up before he approached Serena. Meeting her, he offered a hand to shake. "My friends and I can't thank you and your friends enough for stopping Team Rocket and freeing the Pokémon." Serena accepted the handshake.

"Hey, we're glad we came to help you out," she giggled. Misty sighed at Ash's approach compared to Brock's failed one.

"Ash Ketchum, ever the young gentleman," she huffed. Togepi chirped in enjoyment. Then Corina reached Ash's side as he and Serena broke their lock.

"Well, I'd rather say 'You're Welcome' in a different way," she cooed before closing her lips on his. Brock and Misty freaked out while Pikachu and Togepi ate the scene with cheers and squeals.

"Looks like one kitten has found her favorite puppy," Serena teased. Pikachu laughed, unlike Misty who was furious. Corina broke her lips which Misty cut between them.

"What gives you the right to go after Ash?!" she screeched. Instead of yelling right back, Corina chose to… play her argument.

"Oh?!" she acted. "I had no idea this handsome young man was already owned. Did you kiss him?" Corina believed Misty was bluffing and wanted to call her out.

"N-No! Why would I kiss him?!" This sealed her claim and Corina felt confident to call Misty out.

"Then you have no possession to him. It's sad for you to say that you're with him without feelings." Misty didn't appreciate the backtalk from the Mew Mew taking a liking to her friend.

"How dare you!" To Corina, she won Ash over Misty.

"That's not how you approach girls, Ash!" stammered Brock. Amy and Renée chuckled and shook their heads softly, approving Ash's method over Brock's.

"It's people like him that worry me," Renée murmured. Amy believed her, the obvious as shown in front.

"It would be a miracle if they ever find love," she feared for Misty and Brock. Lita returned to Pikachu, kneeling to his level.

"In all honesty, I want to take you back home," she expressed her feelings to the Pokémon she petted. Pikachu felt the same to Lita, being the one who revived him after the exposure to the now-ruined Evolution Inducement Ray.

("I'd like to go with you, too,") he squeaked to his new favorite.

"I guess all I can say is good luck with you in the future." She sealed the promise with a kiss of her own after hoisting the mouse to her face. Pikachu let out an enormous cheer from that kiss. Meantime, Amy had concern for Gyarados who Lance now possessed.

"Are you sure that Gyarados will behave in your watch?" she asked.

"Don't worry, Sailor Mercury," Lance promised while holding its ball in his hands. "You have my word that Gyarados will not be as enraged as when Team Rocket had control." Being a champion, it didn't stand too much of a burden to Lance to raise Gyarados.

"I guess I'll take your word. It's not easy for someone not from around here to understand the world like you and Ash do."

"Well, Ash is still young and learning. I do see potential for him to reach his peak." To Amy, Ash has the equipment necessary to become his greatest.

"The years ahead will have all to offer for his maturity." Once Dragonite returned from wherever it flew off to, Lance decided now was the time to leave.

"Tyson in custody?" Dragonite softly howled in confirmation. "I guess our job here is done. Leading Mew Mew, Sailor Moon, Ash..." The three named approached Lance as he was about to depart. "You've got some pretty awesome friends. Stay together wherever you go." The three nodded and Lance boarded Dragonite to fly away.

"Lance and Dragonite are awesome," Ash awed.

"They certainly are," Serena agreed. Zoey also acknowledged the sight with a nod of her own. With their farewell, the Sailor Scouts and the Mew Mews decided to make their exits as well. "I'm afraid the ten of us need to return back home." Again, Zoey bobbed a nod to say yes.

"As much as I want to stay and learn about the Pokémon, we belong elsewhere," she explained. Ash and Misty understood their issue. Brock did too, but wouldn't want the three he desired to leave so soon.

"Come on!" he expressed his breaking heart. "At least one of you Mew Mews stay!" Amy and Mina shook their heads, dismayed at how thickheaded the eldest of the bunch was at trying to have one of those five Mews.

"If I could, I'd be having the little one around for dating," Corina pointed out to Ash. That was insult to heartbreak. Brock doubled forward, defeated as Togepi giggled at the expense of the teen's chagrin.

"Maybe one day, we can visit you guys where your from," he wished.

"That would be awesome," Lita accepted. Once Brock recovered, the trainers departed, leaving the scouts and Mews alone. They began to walk off back where they originally fought within the mountains. Finally, they had their moment of clarity. "I gotta say that working with those kids was a blast." Raye and Kikki agreed but Bridget believed Lita enjoyed someone else, presumptively not the people.

"Did you not say that you wanted to take care of Ash's Pikachu?" she recalled. A slight nervous giggle from Lita couldn't hide her real feeling.

"Well… practitioners of electricity we are..." Trying to ease the brunette, Zoey patted Lita on the shoulder.

"No big deal," she comforted. "I'm just surprised to work with superheroes such as yourselves." The two teams engaged in more talk with each other, voices mixing to disperse what each opted for topics. Zoey noticed Serena glaring upward, thinking on something, or rather someone. "What's wrong, Serena?" The blond in question turned to the pink-haired aide, wanting to remove the grief on her chest.

"I'm still minding Darrien," she muttered. "Ever since I recovered the Silver Crystal which is on my scepter, I still wonder how I can save my supposed love of my life." The heavyhearted leader of the scouts felt the sympathy from the leader of the Mews.

"So you have a loved one of your own? I know what it's like." Supposedly, Zoey also had a boyfriend. Serena felt like Zoey was an estranged sister. Both lead squads and both had boyfriends.

"Who's your heart on?"

"He goes by Mark. I bet he's just as dreamy as your Darrien." The two shared a soft chuckle before Raye overheard their conversation, willing to poke in Serena's heart.

"Now that you mentioned it," she snickered. "Ash did look like a younger Darrien." Jumped from the tease, she soon came back with a retort, mostly after her slip of the tongue to Misty.

"I'd probably should say that Brock looks like a slightly younger Chad from the shrine," she pointed out. Raye sighed to the remark and the reason wasn't one Serena would enjoy.

"Brock looks nothing like Chad. No wonder you're doing poorly in school." The groan from Serena followed with a slap to the forehead, above the bridge of the nose. Once she took a breath to calm down, a new problem arose.

"Does anyone know a way to get home?" wondered Renée. The question got to everyone. Amy came up with a solution.

"We can use the Sailor Teleport technique," she suggested. The Mews blinked at the offer, as did Mina.

"Do we have the energy to do so?" she questioned. If not, Zoey wanted to volunteer.

"We can give you guys some Mew Mew energy," she requested. The offer supported the decision as the scouts accepted the idea.

"Kikki wants to see the Sailor Teleport," Kikki urged. By acknowledging the plan, Serena gathered the scouts and Mews in a circle, alternating scout and Mew: Serena to Zoey to Amy to Corina to Raye to Bridget to Lita to Kikki to Mina to Renée and back to Serena. Everyone held hands when Corina felt a doubt brewing.

"How do we know if it'll work?" she asked. Before more doubt started casting along them, Kikki came up with a possibility.

"If we all find our cafe, it'll work for all of us!" she cheered. Bridget heard the smallest member, receiving the idea as a positive outcome.

"Of course!" she visioned. "That way, they can get replenished before they head home." The explanation reached the memory of their encounter earlier to Mina.

"You mean those waitress outfits come from a cafe you work at?" she gawked. Someone did have inside information to the truth.

"It's their hideout from evil alien forces, and they can bake some delicious snacks," Amy clarified. Serena's eyes lit so brightly, they nearly exited her head.

"You MEAN IT?!" she cheered excitedly. Zoey nodded, forcing Serena to break the hold and grab her hands. "That is so cool!"

"I know," a shy Zoey agreed. "But no one can have any if we don't make the teleport happen." Serena apologized before holding Renée's and Zoey's hands. Soon, everyone took a deep breath.

"Mew Mew Power Preservation!" the Mews shouted. They began to glow before the lights transferred from a Mew to a Scout. Now the scouts had their turn.

"Jupiter Star Power!" roared Lita.

"Mercury Star Power!" shouted Amy.

"Venus Star Power!" screamed Mina.

"Mars Star Power!" chanted Raye.

"Moon Crystal Power!" yelled Serena. A beam of light shot from Serena and struck the scouts in the order they called before coming back to Serena. All ten girls were aglow, energy illuminating the area.

"Sailor Teleport Activation!" they all chanted. An enormous flash lit the area, blinding what Pokémon was around. When the light dimmed, the girls were gone. There was another flash, this time in a dining hall with red walls and empty tables. The girls appeared from the flash, all back in their original clothes. They were all reeling a little from the united ability. Kikki recovered first, her face of glee on where they ended up.

"Cafe Mew Mew!" she cheered. The other nine looked up and found themselves with each other and in the same hall.

"How about that!" scoffed Zoey. "We're here on one trip!" Hearing the crash prompted two young men to enter, both wearing white formal shirts with bow-ties around the collar.

"What in the world?!" the brunette gasped before he and the blond ran to check on all the girls. As each girl got to their feet, Lita felt something round by her forearm. Turning her head, she found a giant yellow egg with some black streaks.

"What's this?" she wondered. Other scouts turned to Lita and saw the egg as well.

"I wonder what kind of omelet you can make out of an egg that size?" gawked Serena. The thought forced Lita to pull the mysterious egg away from the blond.

"Oh no, Serena! This egg won't be for eating!" When she embraced the egg near her, it started to glow. The two girls suddenly watched as it flashed like a beacon. This wasn't usual for the girls.

"That egg's… alive?" It stopped after sometime. Neither scout knew what to make of this moment. Zoey and the two young men came by. The other Mews stepped away to prepare food for the scouts.

"Did something happen?" asked the brunette. Serena and Lita turned and stood to the brunette.

"Nothing important," Lita denied. Zoey chose to introduce the scouts to her friends.

"Serena, Lita," she called. "This is Wesley, one of the owners of Cafe Mew Mew. I already told him and Elliot about our situation." Wesley made sure of his friendly gesture with a handshake offering.

"It looks like Zoey has made more friends," he said. "I don't mind more protectors." Serena first shook Wesley's hand, then while holding the egg, Lita followed.

"Well, we're not going to stay for long," Serena summed up. The other scouts found tables to sit where Corina and Bridget took orders for tea and cakes. The blond didn't say a lot, though he did grow interested with Lita's egg which flickered again. The scouts and Mews enjoyed moments of conversations. Suddenly, the egg began to flash faster.

"Guys!" stuttered Lita. Everyone soon turned to Lita as the egg lit the dining hall. Everyone covered up before the light subsided. When they looked again, there was a tiny yellow mouse in Lita's arms with huge ears and pink cheeks. "It… hatched..." Everyone came to see the new creature and feeling like they knew what it was.

"Pikachu?" guessed Mina.

"No, it's not the same," Amy corrected. "It's… tiny." The newborn opened its eyes, viewing Lita.

"Hi," she welcomed. The mouse blinked, then squeaked as it only cried "Pi" and "Chu."

"So cute!" cooed Kikki. The mouse saw the girls, scared and overwhelmed by the crowd. Lita tucked the newborn close to her.

"It's okay!" she spoke to the mouse. "I'm here!" Raye and Zoey motioned to the others to back away, not trying to scare the baby more. That's when Lita reached in her shirt, adjusted her bra and hold the mouse to her chest. "You're probably hungry. Here!" The rest watched in judging Lita's reasoning.

"Really, Lita?" questioned Corina. "Breastfeeding?" Surprising enough, the mouse fed on the milk through the shirt.

"Think of it as practice for when we have kids of our own." Wesley's reaction was a soft chuckle. Along with their newest member, the girls indulged themselves as Serena thought of a name for the newborn. Her idea might have come from Jessie's insult.

"Say, why not call the little guy 'Storm'?" she suggested. No one agreed to the name. Luckily, Serena had more options. "What about Thor? You know, from the Avengers?" A fellow comic reader had a better idea for the name.

"Not the demigod but the hammer, Mjölnir," Bridget suggested. Lita pondered the name of the new mouse.

"Kikki likes Mjölnir!" cheered Kikki. "Makes it sound strong!" Raye and Renée weren't sure about having the new mouse named after a weapon from comic books.

"Are you sure you want to name that little mouse after Thor's hammer?" the blond asked. Done feeding on breast milk, the mouse squeaked a little bit. To Lita, the mouse liked the name offered by her friends.

"You like the name Mjölnir?" she guessed. The mouse made more, happier squeaks. "Looks like Mjölnir it is." All scoffed to the name given to their new companion.

"I guess comic books do help at times," Wesley laughed. "Right, Elliot?" All the blond, Elliot, could do was shake his head. After eating on behalf of the Mews, the scouts got their fill and transformed once more. Serena and Zoey had one more piece with each other before she participated in another Sailor Teleport.

"Hey, thanks for the great time and the food," Serena praised. "If you ever stop by our neck of the woods, drop us a line. We could meet each other at Raye's Temple."

"I would love to see it," Zoey agreed. "Maybe we can help in your invasion fight as we did that world." They shook hands, a promise that if they met again, they'll help and not hinder.

"Serena!" bellowed Raye. "We gotta go!" They broke the shake and the Mews watched their uniformed counterparts be in a circle, Mjölnir perched on Lita's head.

"Trust me, Mjölnir," Lita said. "You'll love it back at our home." Mjölnir squeaked, ready to see it. Once again, they chanted the summon for their powers.

"Sailor Teleport!" they yelled in unison. In a flash, the scouts vanished. It was a fond farewell, but hopefully not forever. For Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina; new friends are in different lands but close to their hearts. For Zoey, Corina, Bridget, Kikki and Renée; new powers to help in protecting all of humanity. For Ash, Misty, Brock, Pikachu and Togepi; new inspiration to see all that is out in any land. Three groups, one mission, everything on the line.

THE END
