*Hopes P.O.V.*

"Thanks for helping me get out of that sticky situation, guys." Steven told us gratefully, rubbing his sore wrists. Julie smiled, telling him, "If you hadn't given me those photographs of the abused Pokemon, we wouldn't have been able to get you out of jail!"

Before my siblings, Sara and I had met the two, Steven had given Julie a envelope containing pictures he had taken when he found the abused Pokemon he rescued. When we showed the photos to Officer Jenny, she released Steven immediately. Now that Stevens name was cleared, he didn't have to look over his shoulder in fear anymore.

Walking down a path running along the ocean, Punkalina suggested, "Shall we go to the Auquarium now.....?" "SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!!!!" We heard a scream from near the shore, causing us to look at one other before rushing over to see what was wrong. What we saw next shocked us, especially Julie.

"Mom! Dad!" Julie ran, running over to where some kids were standing around the unconscious villain gang. Wobeffet was the only one awake, distraught. Team Rocket looked banged up, definitely needed medical treatment right away! A guy, aged 16, sat next to the bad guy team, trying to get them awake.

Their were 3 kids standing around Team Rocket, two teen boys and one little girl.

The boy who was trying to get Team Rocket awake had messy blonde hair pulled into a ponytail, with a blue and orange swimsuit on his body and light blue shoes on his feet. A small scar was on his right chin, his blue eyes as pale as the sea.

The other boy had spiky dark red hair, (a lot like Gary Oak, weirdly), with a red edged black trench coat, a light purple shirt, dark blue pants, and a yellow and green Ying yang gem necklace. His brown eyes were are dark as tree bark.

The little girl had to be 10, with short choppy brown hair with a piece of red string in it. She wore a bright purple school shirt that came over her hands, with a blue skirt, black leggings, white shoes, and a white undershirt. Her bright brown eyes shown optimistic and excitement.

My friends and I ran over to the other kids, as the dark red haired boy asked us, "Who are you?" "Who are we? Who are you?" I asked, as Punkalina immediately began to check Team Rockets injuries. The boy with the dirty blonde ponytail replied to me, helping my sister, "My name is Andy. My friends are Gabriel, but he likes being called Gabe, and Esther. Who are you guys?"

Colin spoke for us, "My name is Colin. My friends are named Hope, my sister; Punkalina, my other sister; Sara, Steven and Julie." Esther smiled as she held a Pichu in her arms, saying, "It's nice to meet you!" "It's nice to meet you two...." Steven got cutter off by Julie yelling,

"ARE WE DONE WITH THE INTRODUCTIONS?!? WE NEED TO GET MY PARENTS TO THE HOSPITAL; NOW!!!" Gabe raised an eyebrow, chiding, "Someone is Krabby....." Esther glared at Gabe, quickly asking, "Andy! Can we use your Blastoise to take Julie's parents to the hospital?"

Andy nodded, yelling as he threw a PokeBall, "Blastoise, go!" A Blastoise came out, as Andy instructed it, "Blastoise, we need to get these people to the hospital now!" "Blastoise!" The Blastoise stated, letting us get Jessie, James, Arbok, Weezing, Meowth and Wobbuffet onto his shell.

Not wasting any time, we made sure Team Rocket didn't fall off of the Blastoises back. Surprisingly, Andy had to ride on the Blastoise too. I read his mind, finding out that he was paralyzed due to a accident. What type of accident I wasn't able to figure out......

As soon as we reached the hospital, Team Rocket was taken into the emergency room. Arbok, Weezing, and Meowth were taken to the Pokemon Center right next door. My friends, Gabe, Andy and Esther waited for Jessie and James in the lobby, Steven and Colin comforting a distraught Julie and Wobeffet.

"Hope! Colin! Punkalina!"

"Gabe!"

"Sara!"

I looked up, seeing Mom, Dad, Gary Oak and Professor Sycamore coming over to us! Sara hugged her dad, as mom and dad hugged my siblings and I. "Mom? Dad?" I asked, pulling after after a minute, "What are you guys doing here?" Dad and Mom looked at each other before Mom said, "We wanted to check in on you two after we heard of what happened at the diner......"

"Mom. That was only a hour ago."

".......Um, news travels fast?"

I rolled my eyes.

"So, Ash, you're married? Looks like you've laid off the crush on Daisy, eh?" Gary nearly taunted Dad, causing him to blush as Mom looked confused, "What?"

I looked back towards the door as Nurse Joy comes out to us. "Jessie and James will be alright; though they went through a huge beating." Nurse Joy reassured us, causing my parents and Professor Sycamore to look alarmed.

They looked even more alarmed when Julie asked, "May I see my parents now, ma'am?" Nurse Joy nodded, leading Julie to the room where Jessie and James were at. Apparently Jason had figured out that Team Rocket helped me escape him.....

Dad grabbed his phone and walked off, causing me to become intrigued. Quietly spilling away from my friends, I followed dad outside, hiding behind a huge bush. I was too far to hear what he was saying, but I did have my Fairy and Pychic powers to listen in.....

"Ketchum, I have something to tell you. You have been recruited to a secret society called the DAEF. Don't tell anyone. Meet me tomorrow at twelve A.M. in Prism Tower." Whoever it was hung up before Dad could say anything.

Before my dad could go back into the hospital, I sneaked back inside and checked in on Team Rocket. Team Rocket was gonna be OK, but they needed to stay at the hospital for a few days. My friends, Gabe, Andy, Esther and I decided to stay around Ambrette town for a few days, to keep an eye on Team Rocket and to make sure they weren't attacked by Jason.

That night, as we got ready for bed at the Pokemon Center, I knew one thing for certain; I was going to figure out what DAEF is, and who called dad to recruit him into the secret society. Let's just hope they aren't bad guys..........
