A Ketchum's Journey Vol. 4

A Team-on-Team Tussle!

Out in the school yard, there were three sets of sandbags piled in a pyramid. "For today, let's review what we know about Z-Moves." said Professor Kukui.

"Yes, sir." said Mallow, Lillie, Lana and Sophocles.

"I can't wait." said Ash.

"Neither can I." said Hayley. Out on the balcony, Team Rocket spy on Ash, Jordan and their classmates.

"Whats a Z-move?" asked James.

"Check out those shiny stones." said Jessie.

"Yeah, those rocks rock." said Meowth.

"Wobbuffet! Wobbu!" said Wobbuffet.

"All right then, Ash, Kiawe, Hayley, show us some full power Z-Moves." said Kukui.

"Right!" said the three.

"You ready to go?" Ash asked Pikachu.

"Pika." Pikachu replied.

"How about you, Meeko?" asked Hayley.

"Lucar." said Meeko.

"Turtonator, take your stance." said Kiawe.

"Nator!"

The three of them started making their moves as Team Rocket continues to watch from the balcony behind them. "Looks like they wanna be dancers." commented Meowth.

"Wobbuffet!" said Wobbuffet.

"Pika! Pika! Pika!"

"Lucar! Lucario!"

"Use Gigavolt Havoc!" shouted Ash.

"Pika!" shouted Pikachu.

"Use All-Out Pummeling!" shouted Hayley.

"Lucario!" screamed Meeko.

"All right, Turtonator, Inferno Overdrive!" shouted Kiawe. All three piles of sandbags exploded, causing the others to be in awe. "Whoa!" they said.

"All three are showing great power." said Rotom.

"That's using their trump cards." said Kukui, laughing.

"Oh my." said Jessie and James.

"Oh, my, my." said Meowth. Team Rocket then looks at each other with evil grins as they giggled in delight.

Narrator: This is the first time Team Rocket has ever seen a Z-Move, the question is, what sort of mischief will result?

Hayley: You don't think they'll....?

Narrator: Who knows.

Meeko: Cario.

In the forest and in Bewear's cave, Team Rocket started their plotting. "After extensive research, here's what you need to use a Z-Crystal." James said to the Pokémon. "A Z-Crystal is secured inside a Z-Ring with which its owner, strikes a pose for maximum zip and zing!"

"Hey, you mean like this?" asked Meowth, striking a pose.

"Wo!" said Wobbuffet, striking another pose.

"My research also states this." James added. "Z-Crystals are found in special veins of Alola region rock!"

"If we seek, then we shall find!" said Jessie.

"Sign me up!" said Meowth as he starts having a daydream of defeating Ash, Jordan and their Pokémon. "I want my Charm to zap Twerps like a Z-Move marauder."

"We're blasting off again." said Daydream Ash and Hayley.

"Pika. Lucar." said Daydream Pikachu and Meeko.
