Notes: I'm very sorry about the extremely long wait for this update. It is my fault for allowing myself to be easily distracted during that time.

When Agetha, Ash, and the Pokemon arrived at the edge of Oak's Ranch through teleportation, Agetha stumbled a bit before regaining her balance. Agetha didn't mind the abrupt teleport while Ash annoyed by the hooded Psychic-type and Mew was very close to being pissed.

"Did you really have teleport while someone is talking to someone else or leaving before someone can respond back to after telling them something? You've done it to me I don't know how many times and I'm sick and tired of it. It isn't just me. Many others are tired of it, too," Mew yelled at the clone.

Mewtwo didn't respond for a period of time before he said, 'Perhaps we should have this conversation elsewhere.' He flew away from the group with Mew chasing after him her true form.

After a moment of awkward silence, Agetha spoke up. "Thank you, Ash for letting me come with you, but I told an old friend of mine I was going to visit her as soon as I arrived in Pallet Town. I would like to continue our battle another time if you are up for it."

"I'm looking forward to it," Ash said as he held his hand out.

Agetha took the offer and shook his hand. "Until then," she said before she left and Ash and his gang started going to Oak's lab.

Unknown to them, they were being watched from the nearby forest.

"It seems we may need to change our plan," the male of the two said.

"At least, we know the rumors are true. We just need to count them into our plan," the woman next to him said.

"It isn't that simple. The boss wants the one the Mew was chasing after in particular," the man told his partner.

"Then, let's make capturing it and that Mew our primary objective."

While the two devised their plan, Ash's group arrived at the lab with the young, white legendary trotting toward them.

"Ash, Ash," Silver called before hugging Ash with a slight amount nervousness. "Two people came and one of them want to take me, my parents, Lady Ho-Oh..."

"Every legendary you have caught," a man with red hair interrupted as he exited the lab with a blue-haired woman, "per both the Pokemon League's and G-men's request."

'Has Ho-Oh...Lugia told you why Ash...caught us?' Latios asked while still being invisible to the naked eye.

"Yes, but they are hiding... Wait who said that?" the man asked.

'Me,' Latios said as he became visible to him.

"Oh," the red head said, but wasn't as surprised, "Like I was saying, they have explained, but they were leaving something out. I know a few of you are in debt to him, like Meloetta and Celebi, but Ash has Pokemon no one should have control of."

Latias dispelled her and went straight into the man's face. 'I won't let you take any of us from Ash,' Latias yelled through telepathy.

'Latias, control your...,' her brother said as he pulled her away from the man with his psychic powers. 'Please, excuse my sister's rudeness, Dragon Master Lance and Gym Leader Clair. She's been more emotional over the three years I was... .But, she is right. Unless you want to upset Arceus, we won't be taken for Ash.'

"Lugia and Ho-Oh have already said that to me, but I feel there is something being left out on purpose and with Arceus involved, it makes it more of a reason to do it. Since the reports of legendary Pokemon being spotted has increased in the pass five years, poachers have been very active in the past year. The trainer Ash lost to in the Lily of Valley Conference last year, Tobias, was attacked by poachers twice since he won it. Both him and his Pokemon are fine, but considering the amount of legendary sightings in the pass two weeks, including Ho-Oh, who hasn't been seen since the original tin tower burned down, it wouldn't be safe for them or everyone in Pallet Town to be here."

'You do forget something...that. If we are here and it is more known, even though one will , you will get re...ers, historians, and humans that will be able to stop poachers and hunters going to Pallet Town, too, even though one would...not be known to the public. That will have the poachers and hunters stay away...they will more likely be caught if they tried,' Latios countered.

"According to one of my sources, the one that hired Hunter J to capture multiple different kinds of legendary Pokemon, including a Meloetta, Latias, and Latios, was from Team Rocket. Who, we don't know," Lance tried to explain.

'We've encountered her employer along with...a hundred of Team Rocket members when we...getting the one they were after and meeting with Suicune, Riakou, and Entei on Mount Quena,' Latios informed the champion.

"Do you know his name?" Lance asked.

'You may want to ask Mewtwo on that,' Latias said, receiving a glare from her brother.

"I see. I'm assuming Mewtwo was the one Team Rocket was after, but I'll look for Mewtwo later and ask it," Lance said. "For now, I want a straight answer on why multiple legendary Pokemon allow Ash to catch them."

'I'll tell you in private and ask the others to tell their reasons...they agreed for Ash to catch them.'

"Then, we'll start with the first three Ash caught, you, your sister, and Meloetta."

'Sure, but do excuse the others. One of them want to be with his family.'

"I understand, but I want Ash to stay in Pallet Town until I'm done."

"Thank you, Sir Lance," Tamiya said with a bow before leaving with the two Lucario.

"It was nice seeing you, again, Clair," Ash said before before him and the Pokemon with him, expect Latias, Latios, and Meloetta, followed the Gallade and Lucario.

"Hold on," Meru said, making the group stop. "We don't know where they are."

"Silver, do you know where Kaoru and Aoshi are?" Ash asked.

"They're either with Ho-Oh and my parents or Suicune and his brothers," the young Diving Pokemon said.

"Or over there with Celebi," Pikachu answered, pointing at Kaoru, Aoshi, and a Celebi.

The Blade Pokemon ran over to his mate and son. He picked up Aoshi with one arm and hugged his mate with the other.

As the five century old Pokemon started to get reacquainted, a thunderous roar was heard and Kenshin handed his egg to Kauro before they ran toward the direction the roar with Ash, Pikachu, Meru, and Silver trailing behind. "That was Suicune," Silver said before another roar sounded off. "That's Raikou."

Upon arriving near the source of the two roars, another roar sounded this time being from the fire-type of the Legendary beasts with Suicune next to him and Raikou on the other side Suicune. In front of them was the self-proclaimed Suicune expert that had his Pokemon returning to its ball and sent out his Alakazam. "Alakazam use disable."

"Eusine, stop," Ash yelled as the psychic disable roar the use of roar from the three beasts.

"Use Psybeam on Suicune," Eusine ordered, ignoring Ash. The fully evolved pure psychic-type fired the attack only for it to be counted and overwhelmed by Suicune's aurora beam with a flame throw and thunderbolt very soon after, leaving smoke where Alakazam was.

When the smoke clear, the psychic-type was gone. The beasts scammed the area before Suicune looked up and dodged a psybeam from Alakazam, floating almost above the three legendaries.

Tamiya charged up a shadow ball, but Kenshin put his arm in front of him and said, 'No, this is their fight. The only way this will end is when he comes to his senses.' Tamiya nodded in understanding and dispelled the attack as Raikou use thunder on Alakazam, hitting the Psychic-type dead on.

The Psi Pokemon teleport back to the ground, allowing everyone to see how much damage it has received as he panted. Suicune use extreme speed on Alakazam, who was too tired and injured to dodge the attack, knocking him out.

"Alakazam, return," Eusine said as the fallen Pokemon return to its ball.

"Leave," Suicune told him, followed by a low growl.

"Dragonair use hyper beam between Suicune and that trainer," they heard and Suicune jumped back to avoid the called out attack before it made a hole into the ground. The source of the attack was a Dragonair with Clair on the back as they flew closer to the hole in the ground. Clair dismounted her Pokemon, landing into the hole made my the Dragon Pokemon made. "As the gym leader of Blackthorn City, I demand the reasoning of battling another trainer's Pokemon, let alone three legendaries, without their trainer present or consent," Clair demanded as she got into the dark blond haired man.

"How was I supposed to know that they were already captured?" he countered.

"Catching and battling Pokemon, unless it is self-defense, in this area is prohibited because this area is for Professor Oak's research and for the Pokemon that are sent here that are from the Pokemon trainers of Pallet Town. I suggest you leave now before I call Officer Jenny to arrest you for violating the laws protecting Pokemon research facilities and Pokemon ranches," Clair told him.

"And who's their trainer?"

"Him," Clair said as she pointed at Ash as him and the Pokemon were already heading toward me, "Ash Ketchum. I believe you two have met before."

Eusine looked toward Ash. "You? You've took what was rightfully mine."

Suicune was the first to scold him as Ash's group joined Clair's side. "I'm not yours and never will be yours. People like you that think they are entitled to a Pokemon are one of the reasons Ho-Oh left her home that was burned down by you humans. She only return to that human city to meet Ash in person. Now, leave and never brother me or any of the legendary council, again," Suicune said and ended it with a growl and his brothers joining in.

Eusine back up a bit and sighed as he realized he was just out right wrong before turned around and left the group.

"Thanks, Clair," Ash said to the gym leader.

"No problem, Ash. Lance had me come over here to make sure it was a poacher or a Pokemon Hunter after one of the Legendaries," she replied. "I am impressed you did manage to befriend and catch Latias and Latios, let alone the rest of the legendaries here, but from Lance has told me, you have met a lot of them that the Pokemon League knows of. So, I guess you'll be seeing Rayquaza, Palkia, and Dialga, again, soon enough."

"The Pokemon League keeps track of that?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, why do you think barely anyone knew you encountered legendaries, stopped, or help stop what would have been disasters, starting from the event in the Orange Isles."

"I never thought of it like that," Ash said sheepishly.

"Please, pardon me. I'm going to return to my family," Tamiya said as he bowed and left.

'Pardon me, too. My mate is waiting for me with my eggs,' Kenshin said with a bow and join the Gallade.

"Odd. Most fighting-type Pokemon that are recently captured don't usually bow to people or other Pokemon," Clair commented on the fighting-type's acting.

"Tamiya doesn't have a trainer and Kenshin was able to beat two of Agetha's Pokemon by himself from the training he went through before we met them," Meru said. "Also, Ash shouldn't Kenshin start your aura training?"

"Aura? Ash, you can use aura?"

"Yeah, but I not that good at it," he admitted it.

"Another trained used a few days ago in my gym to spar his Lucario before I battled him. It looking more like a battle than sparring, but I think he could help train you on how to use aura."

"Kenshin helped teach Sir Aaron with his former master, so he already knows how to teach the use of aura," Meru said in a matter the fact way.

"Who's..." the gym leader started before Meru said, "Sir Aaron stopped a war that would have destroyed a kingdom by sacrificing himself over a millennia ago."

"That would make him over a thousand years old, but that's impossible" Clair said in surprise.

"Him, the Gallade from earlier, both of their mates, the Gallade's son, and a Celebi were trapping in different balls that are made with a feather from Ho-Oh and a feather from Lugia each. From what I understand, those balls because of the properties of those feathers used to make it, don't allow them to age or require anything to survive." Meru explained as best he could.

"Anyways," Clair said to change the subject, "Suicune, Raikou, and Entei, come with me. My cousin will want to talk to you as soon as he finishes with Latias and Latios."

"Certainly, Gym Leader Clair," Suicune said, "but we should have Lady Ho-Oh join us."

"Of course. As legends say, you three are the servants of Ho-Oh," the gym leader said.

"Raikou, Entei, go with Gym Leader Clair, I'll fetch Lady Ho-Oh," Suicune told his brothers.

"We'll be near Professor Oak's lab. Remember not to leave Pallet Town before Lance talks to you Ash after he finishes," Clair said as mounted her Dragon Pokemon. She flew off with Raikou and Entei following from the ground and Suicune going in a different direction.

"Well, I should go find my sister before she gets into trouble," the male Mew said.

"We'll help you find her," Ash said.

"Yeah, we'll help," the electric mouse said.

"Thanks. You two know this place better than I do," Meru said.

"She probably still with Mewtwo or with one of the other legendaries," Pikachu suggested.

After fifteen minutes of Ash leading the around and two minutes of Pikachu taking over for his no sense of direction trainer, they found Mew calmed down and Mewtwo was sitting down with his eyes closed near the tree line.

"I was wonder when you were going to find me," the female Mew said.

"Considering how many times you got into trouble in two minutes, let alone fifteen minutes, I didn't want to risk it," he replied.

"About half of them you were with me," Mew shot back.

"I know that doesn't include the time I was trapped in that ball."

"Actually, I haven't been in trouble that much since you disappeared. I couldn't go out much because Arceus ordered me to stay near the tree, only allowed to go as far as Rota unless on assignment or there was a meeting because of your disappearance," Mew said.

"Oh," he reluctantly said.

Roughly four seconds passed and Mewtwo opened his eyes as three claws came out for the forrest and grabbed Mew and Meru while the one going for Mewtwo was crushed by his psychic powers. As the other two started retracting, Mewtwo crushed the arms and the two Mew teleported out of the claws.

"Show yourselves," Meru yelled.

A woman with golden hair and a man with green jumped out of the tree line with the woman starting with, "Prepare for trouble..."

"...and make it double," the man added.

"Here's our mission, so you better listen," they both said.

"Wait. Please, don't hurt us," the green-haired man pleaded.

"To infect the world with devastation," the woman said.

"To blight all people from every nation," the man said.

"To denounce the goodness of truth and love."

"To extend our wrath to the stars above."

"Cassidy."

"And Butch, of course."

"We're Team Rocket, circling the Earth all day and night."

"Surrender now or you'll surely loser the fight."

Meru and Mew were pissed and Mewtwo just got up and turned around before putting the two Team Rocket members in a psychic hold. "You dare attack me, Mew, and Meru to capture us and give us to Giovanni out of greed and lust for power and attention from him."

The two Team Rocket members were lifted off the ground while Butch pleaded, "Please, don't hurt us."

'I'm not going to harm you, but need to send a message to Giovanni for me and never return here, again.'

"What's the message?" Cassidy asked, wanting to get away as soon as possible.

'Tell Giovanni to leave me, my clones, and my friends alone and if I catch a single Team Rocket member anywhere near here, again, or I will make sure that Team Rocket will sease to exist.'

"We'll tell him," Butch said, scared out of his mind.

'Good,' the Genetic Pokemon said before teleporting the two criminals away.

"We should let Lance know about this," Meru said.

'Why should we let those humans know?' Mewtwo demanded.

"Because if we don't, no matter how many legendaries are here, I doubt we'll be able to take down all of Team Rocket before Arceus's condition is done."

"Wait. What is Arceus's condition?" Pikachu asked.

"We aren't allowed to tell either of you that and Latios don't know," Mew said.

"I thought Latios was supposed to know," Ash said.

"It was decided by the heads of the council for Latios not to know on Arceus's condition just to make sure Latias didn't know and she wouldn't tell you before you are suppose to know," Mew said. "Speaking of suppose, you're suppose to be in Hoenn about noon tomorrow. Latios knows the details."

"But, Ash isn't suppose to leave Pallet Town until Lance is done."

"Where is he? I'll fully explain to him why we have been allowing Ash to catch us, but I will have to leave some details out for the privacy of the others," Mew said before she teleported away.

"Is there anything else you've hiding from us that you can tell us?" Pikachu asked the bipedal clone.

Notes: Yes, another cliffhanger, but I only did it because this was supposed to have one more part, but I planning to hold it off to a later chapter that will be in Pallet Town, which is the point between each region, like the anime does it because Pallet Town is the end point for each region in the anime. The aura user Clair mention is from my Pokemon/Halo crossover and the same one that help revive Latios from his Soul Dew.
