Previously on Pokemon Super: Black & White, Ash battled well against two of the three Gym Leaders and was able to a Trio Badge of his own. However, after the Gym Battles, some strange trouble rained down in Striaton City. A pink mist was making any Pokemon it touches to fall asleep. Ash, Cabba, Iris, Sandy, and even Cilan decided to see what was going on. Turns out it was one of Team Rocket's plans. They may have stopped Team Rocket and saved Musharna for Dr. Fennel, but they still lost the Four-Star Dragon Ball that Team Rocket managed to find. Now with Cilan tagging along, our heroes ventured off to the destination of Ash and Cabba's next Gym Battle: Nacrene City!

Snivy Plays Hard to Catch

It was a nice day. Ash, Cabba, Iris, Sandy, and Cilan were walking down a route to get to Nacrene City, the place for Ash and Cabba's second Unova Region Gym Battle.

However, Ash didn't seem quite happy. Why? Well the sound of his stomach should clear that up. "Man...I need food and quick." He groaned. "Pika..." Pikachu was feeling pretty hungry himself.

They heard another stomach growl, one that was a bit louder than Ash's. All eyes turned to Cabba. The Saiyan had a deep blush of embarrassment on his face and he laughed sheepishly. "Sorry about that. I guess I'm pretty hungry myself." Chimchar giggled a little at this.

Iris smiled. "So, why don't we stop here for lunch?"

"Yeah! Good idea!" Ash agreed. Iris nodded. "Okay. Wait here, I'll get things ready." Iris jumped into the shrubs to get something to eat.

While Iris was searching for food, Ash, Cabba, Sandy, and Cilan sat at a stump waiting for their friend. Sandy was even checking her Dragon Radar while she waited. "Hmm...The Dragon Ball seems to be pretty far, according to the radar. I'd better widen it out to see just how far it is."

Iris came back over to them with a basket in her hands. "Alright, guys! We're all set! Fresh as fresh can be! Dig in!" She placed the basket down so they can see the fruit she gathered.

Ash was up for the food, Sandy looked away from her radar to look at the fruit and she was impressed. Cabba smiled kindly while looking at the berries. Cilan, however, kinda sweat dropped.

Ash grinned. "Check it out!" "Wow, that looks pretty good!" Sandy added. "Eat all you want." Iris told them. Cabba turned his smile to his friend. "Thank you, Iris." "Even though it's just a bunch of fruit..." Cilan muttered to himself.

"Okay, time to eat!" Sandy reached for one of the fruits. Ash, Iris, Cabba, and even Pikachu, Chimchar, and Axew were quick to follow.

"Hold on, just a minute!" Cilan suddenly stopped them. The four trainers and the three Pokemon turned to the Pokemon Connoisseur in confusion.

A little while later, Cilan took the fruit Iris gathered and began to bake them into something else. The other four trainers and the three Pokemon were waiting at a table. Sandy occupied herself by checking the radar again, just in case there might be any other Dragon Balls closer by. Cabba was laughing a bit while looking down at Chimchar. The Chimp Pokemon kept himself busy by playing with Cabba's tail. The Saiyan was teasing him with it.

"Is it ready? I'm starving." Ash was getting impatient for the food.

Few minutes later, Cilan places plates full of fruit muffins and cakes on the table. "Sorry for the wait. Here you go. I pureed the fruit and made fruit muffins and cakes."

Sandy smiled and put her Dragon Radar away. "Smells pretty good, Cilan."

"Now for the taste test." Ash grabbed a muffin and took a bit out of it. "Yummy!" Pikachu took a bite himself, and he enjoyed it just as much as his trainer. "Pika!"

Cabba tasted one of the cakes, and he thought it was pretty good himself. "Wow, this is amazing!" Chimchar took a bite of the cake himself. "Char!"

"Only a kid would make such a big deal about this." Iris took a muffin. "Truth is, I usually only eat fresh fruit."

Cabba gave her a small smile. "Come on, Iris. Give it a try." The Saiyan finished the cake and went for a muffin himself.

Iris took Cabba's word and took a small bite out of the muffin in her hand, and she was delighted. "And how is it?" Cilan asked her. "You know, Cilan? You're a master chef." Iris complimented. Cilan smiles. "I'm so happy you're enjoying it."

Sandy happily took a bite out of a muffin first, then went for a bite of a cake. "I'm not surprised. He works with his brothers in the Striaton Gym, so it's no wonder he makes such tasty stuff."

"Wow! If I could eat delicious food like this every single day, maybe travelling with you four won't be so bad." Iris happily ate more of her muffin.

Cabba looked at Iris again. "Is there something wrong with us?" Iris quickly tried to explain herself after seeing Cabba's sad face. "No, no! That's not what I meant! I'm just not used to hanging around martial artists, let alone travelling with some like you and Sandy, so there's nothing wrong with you at all, Cabba."

Ash already finished his muffin. "I've gotta agree with her there. I've never traveled with martial artist before myself, so this will make our Unova Region journey even more interesting." Pikachu nodded in agreement. "Pikachu."

Cilan turned to the Kanto trainer. "Ash, if you're still hungry, there are seconds, you know." Ash grinned. "Sounds good to me!" Pikachu got on his shoulder just as Ash went over for seconds.

"Hey, Ash! Save some for me too!" Iris called, her mouth full from the muffin. Then she got up for some more.

Sandy chuckled. "Hold up! I'd like some more as well!" She got up to get some seconds too.

Cabba got up with Chimchar getting on his shoulder. "Thank you, Cilan." He politely thanked the Connoisseur before walking over to get some seconds himself.

When the four trainers got to the counter...it was completely empty. Sandy frowned. "Cilan, is this some kind of a joke? I don't see any seconds here!"

"Chimchar..." Still hungry, Chimchar moaned a little in sadness. Cabba smiled softly and patted Chimchar on the head.

In confusion, Cilan walked over. "Hmm...That doesn't make sense. There was plenty of food over here a second ago. I'm sure of it."

"That's so weird. Then what could've happened to it?" Iris asked. "Axew." The Tusk Pokemon popped out of Iris's hair to look around for clues. But then there was some rustling on the tall grass up ahead, and Iris was the first to notice. "Huh? There's something moving in the grass over there." Sandy and the three boys looked over there as well.

Ash and Cabba went on ahead to investigate the tall grass to see what was making it rustle. Cabba noticed something in the opening in front of them. "Ash, look!" He whispered to his friend.

Ash turned his head to what Cabba was looking at. In front of them was Snivy and it was eating one of the fruit muffins Cilan made. "Hey, that's a Snivy!" Ash spoke. "Isn't Snivy one of the three Pokemon new trainers can pick from Professor Juniper's Lab?" Cabba asked.

Ash grinned and pulled out a Poke Ball. "Yep, and I'm gonna catch it now!" Cabba was surprised and tried to get Ash to stop. "No, Ash! Wait! Wait! Wait!" Too late, Ash threw the ball. "Go, Poke Ball!" Once the ball hit Snivy, it was sucked inside before the ball landed on the ground and began to shake for a while.

Iris, Sandy, and Cilan caught up to the two of them and saw the shaking Poke Ball. "Huh? Did you get it?" Iris asked. Ash grinned. "Sure did!" Just after he said that, the Poke Ball opened up and Snivy appeared. The Grass-Type used her tail to smack the Poke Ball away and back to Ash. After that, Snivy ran into the tall grass.

"Well, if Snivy went into the Poke Ball like that, then it must be a wild Pokemon!" Sandy guessed. "Yeah, she's right." Cilan agreed.

Ash grinned. "Snivy's a Grass-Type, right? Well, I wanna catch that Pokemon for sure." He looked back at where Snivy ran off to. "Okay, Snivy! I'm coming!" He ran off after the Grass Snake Pokemon. "You're gonna be my Pokemon, no doubt!"

The other four followed Ash. Once they found Snivy, they saw that it was still eating the muffin. Ash stepped up. "There you are. Okay, Pikachu. Quick Attack, let's go!" Pikachu got off Ash's shoulder and dashed after Snivy. However, the Grass-Type saw through the sneak attack and moved out of the way. Ash gasped. "It dodged!"

"Ash, Snivy are really smart and speedy Pokemon. It won't be easy to catch." Cilan explained. Snivy ate the last of the muffin before it got ready to battle. Then it smirked and raised its nose in the air.

Iris sweat dropped. "Uh...looks like you're being made fun of." The taunting made Ash mad. "What!? Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" Just before Pikachu could attack, Snivy winked and send hearts over to Pikachu. When the hearts made contact, Pikachu looked like he fell in love. "Hey, what's up, Pikachu?" Ash asked.

"Why did Pikachu stop his attack?" Cabba asked. Sandy decided to answer the question. "It's Attract, that's why. Pikachu can't attack Snivy now because that Attract attack made Pikachu fall in love with Snivy." Cabba was shocked to hear the answer. "There's an attack that can force a Pokemon to fall in love with the enemy!?"

Iris nodded. "And if Snivy's Attract worked on Pikachu, that means Snivy's a girl." Snivy got ready to use Vine Whip on Pikachu, she swung her vines on the Electric-Type. Ash gasped. "Pikachu!" He ran over and protected Pikachu from the Grass-Type attack.

Cabba was surprised to see Ash take some of the hits from the attack for Pikachu. 'Ash!" But he glared over at Snivy, she kept using Vine Whip. "Chimchar, Flame Wheel!" Chimchar got off his trainer's shoulder and circled around Snivy with Flame Wheel as some form of warning. Snivy glared at the Chimp Pokemon, but then she turned back to Ash and Pikachu.

"Pikachu, are you okay?" Ash asked his yellow buddy. "Pika..." Pikachu looked worried about his trainer. While Ash was caring for Pikachu, both Cabba and Chimchar kept their focus on Snivy. Snivy was surprised by Ash's actions, but she scoffed and used another attack. This time she surrounded herself with leaves. Cabba fired an energy blast at the leaves, but he gritted his teeth a bit once he noticed that Snivy was no longer there. "Drat! Snivy got away!" Chimchar growled a bit himself. "Char Chim..."

Once Ash got back on his feet, Sandy, Iris, and Cilan walked over to them. "Incredible, Snivy's move are really high level." Cilan noticed. "I wonder if it abandoned it's trainer." Iris guessed.

Both Ash and Cabba were confused. "What do you mean?" Cabba asked. "Cilan said that Snivy are intelligent. I heard if they feel like they have a really bad trainer, they'll leave them." Iris explained. "That's true. It wouldn't surprise me that this Snivy left her trainer just like any other that had bad trainers." Sandy added.

Hearing this only made Ash smirk. "Well, if that's true, I want Snivy more than ever! There's no doubt I'm gonna catch that Snivy now!" Pikachu got down on the ground. "Pika!"

Iris glared at the Kanto duo. "Can't the two of you just calm down?!"

"Iris, this is no time for calming down! Pidove, go find Snivy!" Ash brought his Tiny Pigeon Pokemon out to find where Snivy went.

Meanwhile, Judy, Roger, and Mienfoo were walking around. They were on the search for another Dragon Ball. As they were searching, they heard voices. "What was that?" Roger asked quietly.

"Sounds like someone's quietly talking about something important." Judy whispered. "Maybe they've found the Dragon Ball before we did."

"There's only one way to find out. Let's listen in." Mienfoo quietly suggested. Staying low, the three Dragon Ball hunters quietly sneaked over to where they heard the voices. They made sure they were well hidden to avoid being spotted. The ones that they heard were none other than Team Rocket and they were talking about something pretty serious.

"Secret organization...huh. I wonder who they are." Jessie said. James crossed his arms with a frown. Hearing about some organization made the three Dragon Ball hunters suspicious.

"Some sort of organization? What are those guys talking about?" Judy asked. They heard Meowth say something. "Well, whatever the deal is, we'd better be extra careful."

Mienfoo was surprised. "Okay, I didn't expect those guys to have a talking Pokemon of their own." Roger pointed out something important to his team. "Guys, I'm starting to get the feeling that finding the Dragon Balls is gonna be harder than we thought." Just then everyone heard some rustling. All six of them saw Snivy standing there.

Jessie sneered. "Who's that Pokemon?" James looked through his device to find out. "It's a Snivy, yes!" That's when Meowth noticed the trio of Dragon Ball hunters. "Huh? Hey, forget about the Snivy! Who are those three clowns?"

"Hey who are you calling clowns, Charm Boy!?" Mienfoo yelled. This took Team Rocket by surprise. "Another talking Pokemon!?" Jessie asked. James looked over his device again to find the answer. "And it's the Martial Arts Pokemon, Mienfoo!"

"Okay, so we've got a talking Pokemon with us, so what? You've got a talking Pokemon with you." Judy pointed out. "You mean I'm not the only Pokemon that can talk?" Meowth asked. He sounded a little surprised and also a little down.

"Of course not." Mienfoo answered. While the six of them talked, Snivy decided to take this chance to get away. Roger was the first to notice. "Hey! Snivy got away!" But his outburst and quick pointing made the Dragon Ball he was carrying slip out. "Roger, you idiot!" Judy snapped at her brother.

James took a look at the ball and gasped. "Hey, that's the ball Meowth found in the Dreamyard!" Jessie and Meowth looked and saw the Four-Star Dragon Ball. Mienfoo quickly grabbed the ball and Meowth realized one important thing. "It was you! You three got that Durant to take that ball out of my paws!"

Mienfoo sneered. "Please, like you three deserve to have the Dragon Ball. You probably don't know the true purpose of it, don't you?"

"That ball looks valuable and we claimed it for Team Rocket! That's all we need to know! Now give us that ball back!" Jessie snapped.

Judy glared at Team Rocket as she pulled out a Poke Ball. "I have just one more thing to say to you three."

"What's that?" James asked carefully.

Judy opened up the Poke Ball to reveal her Pokemon. Once the Pokemon was out she smirked. "Good night. Cinccino, Sing!" At her trainer's command, Cinccino began to sing a lovely tune. The tune was making Team Rocket drowsy. It wasn't long until Cinccino's Sing attack put Team Rocket to sleep.

The Dragon Ball Hunters smirked in satisfaction before they quickly dashed off to find the next Dragon Ball.

Back with Ash and the others, Pidove was able to find Snivy. The Tiny Pigeon Pokemon cooed and circled around in the air. Ash was happy about this. "Awesome! Thanks for finding Snivy! Show us where!" Pidove flew off to show them where it found Snivy. "Won't be long now, Snivy." He turned to his first Pokemon. "Okay, Pikachu. Let's step on it." "Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed. The two from Kanto picked up the pace.

When they got there, they saw that Snivy was on top of of a small mountain of rocks. "Snivy, I want to battle you again!" Ash called out. "Pikachu!" Pikachu added. Suddenly, just as Cabba quickly caught up by flying over, Oshawott popped out of his Poke Ball once again. Seeing this made the Saiyan sweat drop. "I'm starting to get the feeling that's gonna happen a lot on this journey."

Ash look at Oshawott with a raised eyebrow. "Hold on. You want to battle Snivy this time?" Oshawott grinned. "Oshawott!"

Cabba decided to speak up. "Ash, I don't think that's such a good idea! Water-Types don't do well against Grass-Types!" Chimchar tried to get Oshawott to rethink this. "Char Char Chim!"

Despite the warning, Ash grinned at Oshawott's determination to battle. "Okay then! Go for it, Oshawott!" Both Cabba and Chimchar drooped their heads at this. Ash, Pikachu and Oshawott began to climb up towards Snivy. Annoyed, Snivy slammed a big rock, causing it to tumble towards Ash and his Pokemon. The three of them, plus Cabba and Chimchar gasped once they saw the boulder rolling their way. Cabba quickly flew in front of Ash and destroyed the boulder with just one powerful punch.

Snivy was shocked by what Cabba just did. The Saiyan and his Fire-Type glared up at the Grass Snake Pokemon. "What did you do that for, Snivy!? That could've killed them!" The Saiyan snapped. "Chim Chim!" Chimchar angrily added. Cabba turned his head to his friend. "Ash, are you okay?" To his surprise, Ash, Pikachu, and Oshawott kept on climbing. "We're not giving up that easily!" Ash told Snivy. The Grass-Type just waited for them to come.

Once the three of them got to Snivy, Ash and Oshawott stepped forward to battle the Grass Snake. Cabba and Chimchar got to the top as well. "I'm gonna catch you this time! Just watch!" Ash told Snivy. "Now, Oshawott! Use Water Gun!" Oshawott fired the Water-Type attack at Snivy. The Grass-Type dodged it, but a little bit of the water got on her, much to her annoyance. So she wiped it off and got ready for more.

Iris, Sandy, and Cilan finally caught up and watched the battle. "Hey, why is Ash battling, using Oshawott?" Iris asked. She was about to call out to the Kanto trainer, but Cabba spoke up to stop her. "It's no use trying to tell him that he has the disadvantage, Iris. I already tried it."

Cilan chuckled. "Ash sure is an interesting guy. It must be Oshawott's enthusiasm that convinced him." Sandy gave the Connoisseur a dull look. "I'd say that little stinker just kept begging Ash to battle."

They turned their attention back to the battle just as Snivy used her Vine Whip on Oshawott. "Oshawott, dodge it, quick!" Ash called. Oshawott used his scalchop to deflect the vines. Ash grinned. "Way to go! Now, use Razor Shell!" Oshawott was about to use Razor Shell, but Snivy quickly use Attract like she did with Pikachu. Oshawott fell for the attack and cancelled his attack. Ash gritted his teeth at this. "Oh man, not Attract again!"

Snivy took Oshawott down with another Vine Whip attack. Ash gasped. "Oshawott, no!" Oshawott was down for the count, thanks to Snivy's Vine Whip.

Sandy just placed her hands on her hips with a sigh. "I'll give Oshawott points for deflecting the vines with his scalchop, but Ash should've warned him about Attract."

As Ash returned Oshawott, Snivy ran off once again. "Snivy, come back here!" Ash and Pikachu quickly ran off after Snivy. Cabba, Iris, Sandy, and Cilan were quick to follow him, but Cabba and Sandy were much faster and easily caught up to Ash.

Snivy was jumping from branch to branch of the many trees and Ash, Cabba, and Sandy kept chasing after her.

"Boy, Snivy's pretty fast." Cabba mentioned. "Well, Cilan said that they can fast and smart Grass-Type Pokemon." Sandy reminded the Saiyan. The two martial artists and Chimchar noticed that Pikachu got on Ash's shoulder just as Ash went swinging in a vine to catch up to Snivy. He swung on a bunch of different vines to catch up to Snivy, much to Cabba, Chimchar, and Sandy's surprise.

"Snivy's all mine!" Ash yelled.

Cabba sweat dropped a bit. "I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Ash is the most energetic human being I've ever met. If I didn't know any better, I'd say Ash would be mistaken for a Saiyan." He joked a bit. It may have made Chimchar laugh a little, but Sandy looked at Cabba with a raised eyebrow.

"There he goes again. Seriously, what does he mean by 'Saiyan'? Just what is he not telling me?" Sandy thought. She was determined to find out what Cabba meant by this talk of Saiyans.

"Snivy, wait up!" As he was swinging, the vine Ash was swinging on suddenly snapped. Ash, Pikachu, Cabba, Chimchar, and Sandy gasped once they saw the vine snap. Snivy just kept on going to safety. Ash and Pikachu screamed as they fell down. Just before they could hit a lily pad, Sandy flew over and caught Ash under the arms. Pikachu was saved when Cabba flew by.

Both Cabba and Sandy landed somewhere safe and let go of Ash and Pikachu. Ash sighed in relief. "Thanks for the save." Cabba smiled. "We couldn't let anything happen to a friend." Chimchar nodded in agreement. "Chimchar."

"Ash, you've gotta be more careful. If Cabba and I weren't here, you and Pikachu would've been sunk." Sandy scolded. Iris and Cilan were finally able to catch up to them.

Cilan frowned a bit. "So, Ash? Still going after Snivy?" "Yeah! Of course I am!" Ash exclaimed with a nod.

Sandy blinked a couple of times. "Seriously? You still want to catch Snivy even after the experience you almost had after the vine snapped?"

Ash grinned. "Of course. There's no way I'm giving up when I came all this way!"

Iris shrugged. "Come on, Ash. Why don't you just give it up? After all, Snivy isn't just gonna let you catch her. So, accept the fact that it's not happening."

"Although, your determination is impressive..." Cilan trailed off.

"Don't say stuff like that, guys!" Cabba spoke to both Iris and Cilan, defending Ash's reason. "Sure, Ash may not have had any luck to catch Snivy with Pikachu and Oshawott. Still, he's got Tepig and Pidove to help him. Ash still has a chance to catch Snivy, and I believe he can do it!" Chimchar nodded in agreement. "Char Chimchar!"

Ash smiled at his Saiyan friend. "Thanks, Cabba. There's no way I'm giving up! Snivy's as good as mine!"

Cabba and Chimchar smiled and nodded, Iris and Cilan grew hesitant, and Sandy simply shrugged with a sad smile.

Ash asked Pidove to fly off to find Snivy again.

They managed to find Snivy once again.

Ash stepped up to battle her. "Gotcha this time, Snivy! Tepig, I choose you!" While Tepig was brought out to battle, Snivy just looked kinda bored.

"Ash went with Tepig this time." Iris noticed. "Well, Tepig is a Fire-Type. So it has an advantage over a Grass-Type." Cilan stated.

"Still, do you think it'll be enough to match Snivy's speed? Also, there's also that Attract of hers." Sandy pointed out.

"Ash! Even if you have the type advantage, don't underestimate Snivy! She can still use her Attract at any moment!" Cabba warned. "Char Char Chim!" Chimchar warned Tepig.

"Sure, I know that!" Ash thanked Cabba for the warning. "Tepig, here's the deal. You need to attack Snivy before she can use Attract." "Pika Pika!" Pikachu cheered. Tepig nodded.

Ash started the battle. "Alright then, use Ember!" Tepig ran, firing several Ember attacks from his snout. Snivy took her chance and dodged the Fire-Type attacks, surprising Tepig. Snivy winked, using Attract once again. Sandy gasped. "Attract already!?" Attract quickly did its work and made Tepig fall in love.

Ash was annoyed. "Man...this won't work. Tepig, return!" He returned his Fire Pig Pokemon. Instead of running away, Snivy just motioned Ash to bring it on. Ash gritted his teeth and Pikachu got ready to fight.

Cabba looked up at the sky before he made a suggestion. "Ash, you should let Pidove fight Snivy next." Ash looked up at his chirping Flying-Type and grinned. "Hey, you're right! Thanks again, Cabba! Pidove, you want to give it a try?" Pidove chirped and nodded. Ash looked down at Pikachu. "Pikachu, let's let Pidove have a try." Pikachu hesitated, but still nodded and backed off.

"Why did Ash stop Pikachu?" Iris asked. "Because a Flying-Type like Pidove has an advantage over a Grass-Type like Snivy." Cilan explained. "But what about Snivy's Attract? If Pidove can't deal with it, type advantages won't even matter. It'll just be the same results as before." Sandy reminded.

"Pidove, Gust, let's go!" Ash called to begin the match. Pidove flapped its wings to use Gust multiple times. Snivy dodged all the attacks and used her Attract once again. Ash gritted his teeth when the hearts surrounded Pidove...but when they touched the Tiny Pigeon Pokemon, nothing happened.

The others were surprised. "Hey! Attract didn't do anything to Pidove!" Sandy noticed. "But why?" Iris asked. Cilan figured it out. "I see. Attract didn't work on Pidove because Pidove happens to be a girl like Snivy." Cilan turned to Cabba. "I bet Cabba knew that all along. Otherwise he wouldn't have made that suggestion to Ash."

Cabba gave off a nervous laugh. "Actually, I only made that suggestion because Ash didn't use Pidove to battle Snivy yet." This made the girls sigh a little. Ash took a look at his female Flying-Type. "What do you know? Pidove's a girl. Talk about a lucky break." Pikachu and Chimchar fell over after hearing that. The four trainers sighed as well. "What a kid..." Iris groaned.

Snivy wasn't really fazed that her Attract didn't work on Pidove, but she began to use her Vine Whip. "Pidove, dodge it!" Ash called. Pidove dodged the vines easily. Snivy wasn't done yet, she was unleashing another attack.

"What move is that?" Cabba asked. "That's a powerful Grass-Type attack called Leaf Storm!" Sandy answered. "Pidove, dodge again!" Ash called. Pidove was able to dodge the leaves again. "Alright, Pidove, use Gust!" At Ash's command, Pidove dealt some damage with a Gust attack. Snivy struggled against the wind, but she was still blown away.

"Quick! Air Cutter, let's go!" Ash quickly called. Pidove quickly used an Air Cutter attack to distract Snivy. "Use Quick Attack!" Pidove quickly dashed at Snivy. The Grass Snake Pokemon tumbled over to the rocky field and struggled to stand. Ash took this chance to throw a Poke Ball. "Okay! Go, Poke Ball!" He threw it at the weakened Grass-Type. It sucked her in and shook a bit. After a few shakes...the ball opened up, showing that Snivy still had some fight in her!

"One more, Pidove! Use Quick Attack!" Ash called. Pidove dove down with Quick Attack, but Snivy countered it with her Vine Whip attack. "Way to go! Pidove, use Air Cutter!" At Ash's call, Pidove managed to make a direct hit on Snivy with Air Cutter. The attack sent Snivy into the air, she then tumbled back down on the ground.

"It's starting to work!" Iris exclaimed. "Now's your chance, Ash! Throw the Poke Ball!" Sandy called out. Ash nodded and twisted his cap. "This is it! Go, Poke Ball!" He tossed the ball over at Snivy. The Grass Snake Pokemon smiled just before she was sucked into the ball. The ball shook a few times and Ash bit his lip. After a couple more shakes, the ball stopped, proving that Ash caught another Pokemon.

Ash grinned and took the Poke Ball, raising it into the air. "Alright! I caught a Snivy!" Pikachu and Pidove cheered along with their trainer.

Chimchar applauded the Kanto trainer. "Chim Chim Chimchar Chim!" Cabba smiled and nodded. "I knew he could do it."

Ash brought Snivy back out to say something to her. "It's great to be together! From here on out, let's win the Unova League!" Snivy blinked, but then she smirked and nodded. Cabba, Iris, Sandy, and Cilan watched on as Ash made that declaration.

And so, with Snivy being the newest member to his Unova team, Ash is more determined to win the Unova Region league. Careful, Ash, don't forget about Cabba, he just might take you by surprise. Still, they need to keep their eyes open for any sign of the Dragon Balls and for anyone that might want them for themselves. The journey continues next time on Pokemon Super: Black & White!

Cabba's Pokemon Team (So far):

1. Chimchar (M) (Scratch, Leer, Ember, Flame Wheel)

2. Deerling (M) (Tackle, Growl, Double Kick)
