A/N Hello everyone I have decided to do a story of Pokémon and as far as I know this is the only one of its kind where Ash joins team rocket. Also he is not going to leave team rocket because he fell in love and I'm not even sure if he is going to be in a relationship at all. Also he will make his way up the ladder until he ends up taking over team rocket.

(FURTHER A/N)

A/N Ok, that was the Author note of that whose story I am adopting! Her name is Axelover-Burn-Baby. Her story was great, and an awesome idea that she couldn't continue, so I took the liberty of doing so. Please enjoy the improved version of her amazing story!

Ash Ketchum was a regular boy that had dreams of being a Pokémon master, like all other boys of his age group.

Yeah, that didn't last long.

All that changed a few months before he turned 5 when his mother passed away from a disease she was fighting for a long time. Good thing Ash lived close to Professor Oak's lab. Oak was a good friend of his mom and he helped to take care of Ash along with a Mr. Mime they had.

Ash still lived in the house but unfortunately his friendship with Gary Oak died that day when he made fun of Ash not having any family to help him with his Pokémon journey.

But as always, that wasn't the end of the torment. For such as small town, there was a surplus of bullies. Of course they never beat him up but they made sure to say as many negative things to Ash as possible. At the end of each day, Ash made a vow that he would make them regret what they did and he would control whatever he desired.

5 years later

"Professor, I don't understand how you can't have one extra Pokémon when you knew that there was going to be four new Pokémon trainers starting today." asked a very upset Ash.

"Ha looks like your nothing but a loser. Exactly what I have been saying this whole time." Gary sneered at Ash as he brazenly tossed his pokeball up and down.

"I am sorry Ash but the tame Rattata, Pidgey and Sandshrew that I had requested were stolen and there won't be another set of Pokémon until next year. I really am sorry Ash."

And with that Ash decided to leave before Gary could mock him even more.

Ash had made his way down to the beach in a little cove that not many people go to. He was just so mad. He had woken up on time was able to get everything ready easily. He had visited his mother's and Mr. Mime's grave and then left.

And what happens? All the Pokémon were taken and there were no extra's left. Now he had to wait a year after everyone just to start his journey.

"Well you seem to very upset young man."

Ash jumped up and turned around to see a man standing a few feet away from him.

"Yeah, so what if I am? What it is to you? Anyway, who are you?" He said turning around to fully face the new person.

"Sorry that is very rude of me my name is James and I have a proposition for you. I couldn't help but notice that you don't have a Pokémon with you…"

Scowling, he looked at the stranger. He had a pokeball hoodie on, with the hood down. He had long Donphan leather jeans and what looked to be combat boots adorning his feet.

"So what if I don't have a Pokémon now? Have you come to mock me just like all the other people in this God forsaken town?" Ash said as he returned to his seat at the side of the ocean.

"Now no need to get defensive. You see, I work for an organization that is always on the lookout for new trainers to help join the ranks. It's called Team rocket and maybe you have heard of us. Now before you think that Team rocket is just a gang that steals Pokémon, we have a bigger picture in mind. What we want is world domination. Of course, some people think we will never be able to achieve it, but what we are doing is making our way through each region and gaining power. To sweeten the deal I have two Pokémon with me that I could give you. All you have to do is have an anonymous video call with our leader and you're in. What have you got to lose?"

Ash sighed.

"I can already tell that you have ways of making sure that I can't get out of this, do you not?"

"Smart boy! Yes, basically if you say no then I will just use one of my Pokémon who will make it so you forget you ever met me. If you do remember, there are ways to have you disappear."

"Well it's not as if I was going to say no, now show me the Pokémon you were talking about."

James pulled out several poke balls, and then separated them into two piles. One with 2 poke balls and one with four.

"Well here they are. Charmander and an Ekans but be mindful… you only get to choose one. You don't have to worry about either of them not listening to you. Team rocket has made sure that any new grunts -which is the position you will be starting at- have Pokémon that will listen to them. Take your pick.

"Charmander is what I want." Ash said straight away.

After give him Charmander's pokeball James received a message on his C-Gear. After catching a glimpse of it, he smiled.

"Now, my assignment is to go with you for your first few missions just in case we need to make an escape, if you mess up and also to help you if you need to. Be mindful I am not going to hold your hand through all of the missions. I will give you guild lines and see if you can come up with some ideas. Until then we can make our way to Viridian City for your first mission."

Ash stood up from the sand, brushed the back of his pants and looked at his pokeball. He was going on his journey, albeit not the way he planned, but at least he was starting. Looks like he was back in the game.

'Watch out Gary, I'll show you!'

A/N Well, that's it for now. I am improving her chapters from now on, and adding my own plot twists and other things, but the story will be the same!

For now, I'm out!
