Rise of Team Neo

This chapter will reveal why Ash is out for revenge (yes he lost Misty but there is more to it than that).

Pokémon doesn't belong to me.

(Hilda's Pov)

"Ash we need to rest" I called out to Ash as the first rays of the next day started to illuminate the surrounding trees and the wild Pokémon began to wake up from the nights slumber ready for a new day. "Ash we haven't had any sleep yet even Pikachu is struggling to stay awake" I told Ash who was ignoring me.

"We're almost to the next city" Ash said quietly before collapsing to the ground. I quickly ran up to help him up but he just pushed me away "I said it once and I will say it again I don't need help" Ash said tiredly.

"Ash you're too tired to continue we need some sleep before we reach Striation City" I said with worry "Also Ash you need to swallow your pride and accept help from others" I told Ash who was struggling ot pick himself up "there will be a time when you need help but no one will be there because you've pushed them away" I said while helping Ash out.

"Alright we rest here" Ash submitted to his tiredness "but once we gather our strength we will start walking to the city" Ash told me after we set up camp for the day.

"Thanks Ash we need this rest" I said thankfully as I began to go to sleep from exhaustion.

(Normal POV) (Striation City)

Meanwhile in Striation city a mysterious gang started to organise their meeting with their boss "So is everything ready for his arrival?" a male voice asked his colleagues as they were setting up a stage.

"Sir everything is almost in place" one of the worked stated promptly "very soon Unova will see the rise of a new Team Plasma" he stated with a smile as they started to put the finishing touches on the stage that would welcome their boss.

A tall man with a black business suit, black sunglasses and a bowler hat walked in looking at the work that was being completed "First the ship to send a message and now we will hold the world to ransom by cutting off Unova from the rest of the world" he said laughing to himself "but first we need to take Unova over and that will be done in fell swoop" he said confidently.

Meanwhile a worker with a silver shirt with a black 'P' in the middle and black pants walked up to the business man to give him the report "Sir we only have a few a checkups to complete and we will be ready" the worker said promptly.

"Good make sure everything is running perfectly" the mysterious man said with a grin before leaving the building to get his boss from a nearby hotel.

(Back on route 2) (Ash's POV)

We had been asleep for at least four hours before I started to wake up from my sleep so that way I could go and look at the city skyline. After looking at the city I decided that I would return to camp and prepare some food for Hilda and the Pokémon before they start wake up. It was during that time that Zorua woke up from its slumber and started to chase its tail around.

I continued to cook the food as the wild Pidove with other flying type Pokémon "hey what are those Pokémon?" I asked myself quietly not bothering to look at my Pokédex before I heard Hilda starting to wake up from her sleep.

"Ah much better" she said positively "nothing like a few hours sleep to revitalise your energy" she said happily. "So you woke up first Ash?" she enquired with a smile "and you're cooking some food?" she asked with a smile "great I am starving" she pointed out before I could answer.

While I was cooking a Pokémon with a greyish blue body and face which was surrounded by white down and an orange beak and feet landed in front of use pecking the ground in search for food "what is that Pokémon?" I asked Hilda as more of the same Pokémon landed in the same area looking for food.

"Wow Rufflet they are rare around these parts" She said with a smile "why don't you capture one Ash?" Hilda invited me with a smile "Rufflet can be strong Pokémon if they are trained well" she told me positively as I put down the cooking utensil to start the battle with one of the Pokémon.

"Alright Pikachu let's get this Pokémon to shut Hilda up" I said calmly as I glared at her.

"Ash really needs to take it easy or he might do something he'll regret later" Hilda said under her breath. "Come on Ash show me what you are made of by catching a Rufflet" she yelled in support.

"Pikachu use Thunderbolt now" I instructed Pikachu to attack the flying type. Pikachu charged up the attack until he was surrounded by a bright yellow aura and let and proceeded to blast the unsuspecting Rufflet knocking one out "Go pokeball " I said by throwing a red and white device at the knocked out Pokémon.

"You know you could at least pretend you are having fun Ash" Hilda stated with a sigh before sitting down at the newly formed campfire. After cooking the food I gave some to the Pokémon and Hilda who started to stuff her mouth full of food "wow Ash you seem to have amazing skill" she said with a smile "what are some of your other skills Ash apart from being a decent trainer?" Hilda asked me with a grin.

"Why do you need to know this stuff?" I asked her before putting my plate in the sink. "It isn't like its important enough to know about" I said quietly.

"I guess hiding things is one of your best skills Ash" Hilda said with annoyance "you need to open up Ash tell people what you are thinking instead of putting up a wall" Hilda said wisely.

"I will find out who sabotaged the ship" I told Hilda with a determined face ignoring her previous question.

(Hilda's POV)

I watched Ash walked away with Pikachu while I sat down in the middle of the camp just wondering why Ash is being such a jerk. "Ash you need to allow people in your circle pushing them away will only hurt you" I said to myself. I waited for a little while before trying to find Ash being careful of not snapping any twigs that might give me away.

"I know what Hilda is trying to do" I heard Ash say to his Pikachu "but it isn't like she could bring the thousands of people that lost their lives on that ship" Ash said while still hurting from what happened. "We Lost Misty and she would want us to move on but it is so damn hard" Ash commented while looking at a letter.

'A letter where did he get it from?' I questioned in thought 'it seems like he is dealing with the death of not just Misty but a thousands of other people' I thought quietly as I watched Ash cry from the pressure of being the only ne to survive the disaster. 'What no way I never thought I would see this side of Ash' I told myself before I walked back to camp thinking about how I could help Ash deal with this situation.

After making it back I sat down at the camp to think about what I witnessed "Why is Ash shouldering this?" I asked myself. I thought about how I could make things better but every time I thought of an idea I knew it would just mess things up. "I better not say anything" I said to myself with a frown before I heard Ash make his return "Ash you've been a while" I said trying to sound surprised.

"Hilda I have been thinking about some of the stuff you told" he said trying to avoid eye contact with me. "You're right I need to tell people what I am thinking" he said quietly but I already knew what he was going to say. "Can you sit down for a moment?" he asked me while he took a seat next to his tent.

"You can tell me anything Ash" I told Ash with a smile as he sat down and took a deep breath before talking.

"You know that a ship sank right?" he asked me "and I was stuck outside during the storm" he repeated some of the details I already knew. "But the news reports never stated that there were explosions on the ship which opened it up to the sea" he said while looking at the fire "the force of the explosion threw me off the ship and I floated all the way to the Unova Region" Ash said with a lot of pain "there were thousands of people on board the ship and being the sole survivor has been getting to me" he said with a frown trying to hide his sadness "so it isn't just Misty's loss that has been getting to me it is the murder of innocent people" he said quietly before walking back into his tent.

"You sholdn't be blaming yourself Ash" I told Ash while he walked back to his tent "thanks Ash for telling me what has been on your mind" I said quietly while watching the sunset light up the sky with orange' and red "We've been here all day" I said to myself as a cold wind started to blow "Something just doesn't feel right" I said quietly "we will have a long day tomorrow" I said with slight concern before going back to my tent to get some more sleep.

We had been asleep all night when I heard loud noises coming from the city early in the morning. "What's going on" I asked when I saw Ash walk up to me "Ash something seems to be happening in the city" I told Ash who looked at the city with a serious look on his face.

"There is something huge happening we better have a look" I stated as Ash agreed with me before packing our campsite, walked into the main street of the City "what's going on?" I asked with concern "These Markets are usually full of workers getting the produce ready for the days sales" I told Ash as we continued to walk through the empty streets of Striaton City.

"Its quiet, its too quiet" Ash said while looking around the city with great suspicion "I know people should still be asleep but this is too strange" Ash told me while still looking around the street full of markets.

We walked through the streets trying to find the people walking through another street this time being a line of skyscrapers. "Hilda people should be walking to work right about now" Ash told me quietly as we walked to a park in the middle of the city finding most of the population in the park with a stage in the middle of the park. "What the fuck is going on" Ash asked as he saw the people watching the stage light up.

"Yeah I know Ash" I responded in shock as we started to sit down to watch the next event. "What no way that's Ghetsis" I said as I put my hands on my face gasping in horror "why is he here?" I asked as some of my memories returned of his treachery.

(Normal POV)

The crowd of people watched as the stage filled up with men in silver clothes with a black 'P' took the stage until a tall man with green hair dressed in a blue and black shirt with shield design in the middle of the shirt and black pants flowed them to the stage. "My name is Ghetsis I was the leader of Team Plasma and now I will talk to you all as an equal" Ghetsis stated with a grin.

But while on stage Ash and Hilda could see that Ghetsis was talking to a few of his subordinates "Make sure no one gets near the new power plant outside Striaton City" Ghetsis told them while he continued to talk to the public of Striaton City "I have done some bad deeds in the past and have learnt from them" Ghetsis stated with a confident smile. "Not too long ago there was a disaster just off the coast of the Unova Region" he stated as another tall man appeared on the stage "we will be working with the police to investigate this disaster" Ghetsis stated before being met with a loud round of applause.

"Hilda do you know who that other guy is?" Ash asked Hilda who was starting to look concerned from the speech.

"No Ash I have no idea who that other guy is" Hilda responded promptly "But he could be trouble" Hilda said with a frown.

"Hilda is there a power plant nearby?" Ash asked Hilda while watching the new Team Plasma leave the stage.

"Yes Ash there is a newly built solar and wind farm near Striaton City that supplies three quarters of Unova with electricity" Hilda told Ash before Ash ran towards the east end of the city "Ash wait up why do you ask such a thing?" Hilda asked Ash while trying to catch up to him.

"Ghetsis was just keeping those people busy for some reason I heard him say something about the power plant" Ash responded angrily. "He might be pulling something you said he went insane" Ash told Hilda as they ran towards the east end gate of Striaton City.

Ghetsis just looked at Ash and Hilda run towards the exit of Striaton City "keep an eye on those two" Ghetsis ordered the business man "Just make sure that they don't interrupt mission at the power plant because we need Unova on their knees" Ghetsis told him.

"Yes sir" the man promptly saluted his superior "you two come with me we have some business to attend" he instructed two of the Plasma Grunts to follow him. "The new Team Plasma will be better than ever" he stated confidently "and with N out of the picture there is no way we can fail" he said.

(Ash's POV)

"Ash wait up I have a question to ask you" Hilda called out to me as we left the city. "Ash what if its too dangerous?" she asked me in concern while we continued to run for the power plant.

"We need to prevent them from destroying the power plant" I told Hilda quickly.

"But how did you know what Ghetsis told his subordinates?" Hilda Asked me as we almost reached the power plant.

"I have a special ability that allows me to sense aura Hilda" I stated with a frown before we stopped to see a field occupied with tall wind mills and rows of solar energy farms. "It helped me out in the past but i try not to use this ability" I stated "But that show Ghetsis put on was just too good to be true" I told Hilda who was equally suspicious of Ghetsis

"Ash what is this aura thing you talk about?" Hilda asked me before. Before I could answer the business man caught up to stop us from getting to the power plant. "Who are you" Hilda asked the man.

"You two don't need to know because very soon you will be dead" he said with a laugh. "You two will not stop Neo Team Plasma's plan" he stated confidently "we plan on destroying the power plant to bring Unova to it's knees" he said smiling at us. "This aura thing you are talking about will not help" the business man stated.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked with disdain "You're destroying your source of electricity as well" I pointed out with anger

"Well since you two are going to die anyway I might as well tell you" he said as he got the Plasma grunts to surround us. "You see Unova domination was our intended goal and Ghetsis used his son N to try and achieve that goal" he pointed out while we tried to listen to his non-sense "but it all failed when someone by the name of Hilbert Black defeated N helping N realize that he wasn't a monster" the man said with a smile.

"Get on with the story I already know the details" Hilda stated while glaring at the man.

"Very well after Ghetsis escape from prison he hatched a new plan but this time with another of his sons" he stated with a smile "One that he knew wouldn't fail him like N did, one that had ties with the authorities" he said as his smile widened. "That one would be me" he said in euphoria "my name is Zoren and I am N's older brother" he said with a grin stretching from ear to ear.

"You are so full of shit!" I yelled out to Zoren "You took your time to strike and then waited for your brother to fail" Ash said with no intimidation towards Zoren. "You also expect me to believe that you are going to inspect the disaster" Ash said as he was beginning to lose his temper.

"Ash calm down this is what he wants to happen" Hilda said trying to get me to settle down "we need to deal with these guys as well" Hilda said trying to get me to help her.

"Yes the investigation on the ship was to make us look good in the eyes of the people" Zoren stated confidently "also your boyfriend is right we waited for N to fail in his mission even if he had Reshiram there was no way we were going to allow him to succeed" Zoren stated with a laugh "because I already have another of the dragons in my possession" he said before pulling out a pokeball "Come forth Kyurem" Zoren threw the pokeball calling out his pokemon.

"That thing is huge" I said with fear plastered all over my face "how do we battle that thing?" I asked Hilda who was frozen in place from fear. "Pikachu we need to battle now" I told my pokemon "Hilda we need to get out of here now" I told Hilda in great concern but it was no use she was too scared from the sight of a legendary pokemon being in front of us.

"There is no escape for you two!" Zoren yelled out in laughter "Team Plasma attack" he ordered as the two grunts unleashed their pokemon to battle us. "You two are done for Kyurem use Glaciate" Zoren instructed his legendary pokemon, before the attack could land and blazing ball of fire hit the Kyurem sending the pokemon flying. "What was that?" he asked as he made a move towards the power plant "Kyurem attack the power plant now" Zoren ordered but before the attack landed Kyurem was hit with another attack.

"We need to stop him now Hilda" I told Hilda who was still scared and couldn't move. "Shit Pikachu you stay here and look after Hilda I will deal with Zoren" I instructed my pokemon as I began to run towards the power plant to prevent the plan from succeeding.

"Set the explosives so no one can tamper with them" Zoren ordered his men "ah we have an uninvited guest" Zoren stated as he saw me Approach them from the west. "You want to tackle us alone?" he said with a grin.

"No he will not be fighting you alone" a mysterious man stated with a brown hooded coat appeared as. "You intend to take Unova over" he said before pulling out his pokeball "I need your help Zoroark" the stranger said calling out his pokemon.

"Who are you?" I asked the mysterious person before the battle started. "Why did you save us?" I asked him while he was ignoring me.

"You need to prevent the others from planting too many bombs otherwise Unova will be in the dark" he told me "Just go I will deal with Zoren" he stated before I left to stop the other grunts.

I ran through the power plant trying to search for the other plasma grunts I saw wooden crates at the converters that made the wind and solar rays into energy "what are these?" I asked myself in interest while I continued my search. "Dammit this isn't going to be easy" I told myself while continuing the search. "I wonder if Hilda is alright" I thought to myself after that thought I saw three men at the corner of my eye "What's going on I thought there was two men" I said to myself as I followed them.

"Are all the bombs set?" one of them asked while I was watching the event unfold "good tell Master Zoren to pull out" he instructed "I will deal with the spy" he said before looking at me.

"Shit I better run" I said to myself as I ran from the sight. I continued to run until a purple colored cat like pokemon barred my path "Great it seems like I need to battle my way out" I hissed in annoyance.

"You only have 2 minutes before this place goes sky high and you will be caught in the explosion like the one we set up on the cruise ship one week ago" he said opening his big mouth divulging the details of the sinking of the ship.

"What did you just say?" I asked as I pulled out one of my pokeballs "go Zorua" I threw my pokeball calling out a black and red fox like pokemon to battle.

"Neo Team Plasma sabotaged that ship just to send a message to the world that we are back and better than ever" he said while laughing insanely "Purrloin attack with Night Slash" he ordered his pokemon to charge straight to my pokemon.

"Damn that's fast" I said as I gritted my teeth in annoyance "Use Dark Pulse" I ordered for the counter attack Zorua's attack sent Purrloin flying towards its trainer giving me the time to escape but I was stopped again by the same trainer. 'What you haven't stopped yet" I asked the Neo Plasma grunt.

"You know too much and you will die" he said laughing at me "You have less than a minute before this place is completely wiped off the map" he told me with a grin "and I will die as a hero of plasma" he said with an insane smile.

"You're fucking nuts!" I replied with anger "you intend to die just to wipe out the electricity of Unova and one person?" I asked the man only to be met with laughter "Zorua attack with Night Slash" I commanded my poekmon to attack.

"Purrloin attack with Night Slash" he ordered his pokemon to attack still trying to keep me from leaving the sight. "You see my team mates are leaving me here to make sure you and your girlfriend don't escape your fate" the grunts stated while pointing at the helicopter of three more men escaping ground zero.

"Zorua take the attack I will call you back" I told my pokemon as I pulled out his pokeball while Zorua took the attack allowing him to fly towards me while a red beam came out from my pokeball allowing me to return my pokemon to safety "I better reach Hilda quickly before we get caught in the explosion" I said as I began to run while Purrloin followed me this time not attacking "what you want to live?" I asked the cat like pokemon "Okay follow me" I instructed the pokemon.

I continued to run and I found Hilda a grabbed her hand and we ran towards Striaton City but before we could escape there was a loud explosion at the power plant. The shockwave pushed Hilda, Pikachu and myself into the ground I made sure Hilda didn't hit the ground as pieces of earth started to fly towards us which giving me no choice to pick myself up and shield Hilda from the flying debris.

Hilda finally came to her senses "Ash what's happening" she asked me in concern before I collapsed to the ground as blood started dripping from my arms and back "Ash no!" I heard Hilda scream out "you protected me from the explosion" She said before things started to go blank.

(Hilda's POV)

"Ash please you can't leave me not now" I cried for Ash who had saved me yet again this time from an explosion that wiped out Unova's power source. A mysterious man walked up from the opposite direction trying to comfort me he picked Ash up and took him to a house where he could heal him up.

"He will be fine his vital signs are still there" he said with a sigh of relief as I wiped away my tears. "There isn't much that can be done about the electricity in Unova and from the looks of it you are being accused of the destruction of the power plant" he pointed out while turning the TV on showing the news report. "I am lucky that I use a different power source than the rest of Unova and the report is coming from Nimbasa City" the mysterious man told me as picture of Ash and me appeared on the TV.

"Who are you?" I asked the man.

"I am N" he told me while pulling off his hood revealing a man with long green hair still wearing the brown coat "you two will need to stop journeying for now" N told me as Ash started to wake up. "It will be hard to prove your innocence since my brother works for the police force and even that police force are corrupt these days" he pointed out with a frown.

"Ash!" I called to him as I moved in to hug him for saving me "Thanks for saving me again" I said thankfully to the injured trainer. "we are being accused of the explosion at the power plant Ash" I told him quietly "this is the man that saved you Ash his name is N" I introduced the man to Ash.

"What Zoren caused the explosion!" Ash yelled out before looking at the strange man looking out the window "Thanks for the help back there" Ash said still hurting from the attack.

"You two stay safe alright" he instructed us before leaving us to wonder what we are going to next. "I need to gather the gym leaders so stay put" N instructed us "we will need to plan something in order to deal with my father and brother" N said after flying off with a white pokemon.

Well that is chapter out of the way I hope you like it. Please read and review I want to know what you think of the story so far. Neo Team Plasma's plan succeeded leaving Unova in the dark what will happen next.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

How will Ash and Hilda prove their innocence? What will N do to stop his father and brother? And where is Zekrom? And How will the Gym leaders help in this situation?
