Tmp - Woohoo, guessed right! You're absolutely correct! I'm glad you could figure out what I was saying… no, Charlotte's not in an alternate dimension. That's good. Championshipping 4ever!
Usagi Serenity Moon Cosmos - I'm trying to write fast!

Chapter 3: Chasing
 
“Gotcha!” Charlotte said. Ash stared. She was hanging on to Entei's back… and it was running off with her.
Lance sweatdropped. Her Dragonair had already paralyzed Suicune, making it an easy capture. But still…
“I don't' think it agrees with you!”
“Hey, it's got to get tired of running sooner or later. I'll just peace out until that happens.” Charlotte said. She clung on to Entei's `mane' and kept a tight grip so she wouldn't fall off.
“Should we follow her?”
“No, I think she'll be able to take care of herself.” Lance said. “Let's go find Raikou.”
“Right!” Ash said. He hopped onto Zapdos's back. * Where can it be? *
 
After a lot of running…
“Found it.” Ash said, satisfied. “Okay, Zapdos, Thunderwave!”
Zapdos paralyzed Raikou, but it started to run away.
“Oh no you don't!” Ash said, throwing down a net of shadow energy. Raikou struggled, and managed to use bite to snap the threads. Then, he ran off.
Ash nudged Zapdos and they flew after him.
 
Lance was taking a nap on Articuno's back. Soon, she was awakened by roars. She saw Ash and Charlotte, clinging onto their respective legendary cats, trying to stop them.
“It's been five hours and you still haven't managed to stun the pokemon?”
“Oh!” Ash said. “We were just waiting for them to get tired…”
“Now that you mention it.” Charlotte said a bit sheepishly. “Go, Mantine!”
Mantine was a water/flying type, the only reason Charlotte could stand it was because it was flying… she was deathly afraid of water.
Mantine saw her trainer's terrified look and used Supersonic instead of Surf.
Entei got little swirls for eyes. Charlotte jumped off, pulled an Eleball out of her pocket, and threw it at him.
Entei was captured!
Meanwhile…
 
“Skarmory, Steel Wing!”
Skarmory bashed his steel wings into Raikou's head, stunning it temporarily. However, Raikou retaliated with Thunder.
Skarmory cawed and fell over, paralyzed.
Ash quickly recalled his steel bird. “You did great, Skarmory.”
“Phantasmeon, I choose you!”
The ghost eevee came out again and purred.
“Phantasmeon, use Night Shade!”
With pleasure! Raikou quailed as waves of terror washed over it.
“Now use Mean Look!”
Phantasmeon stared Raikou in the eyes. It froze, scared.
Ash grinned and threw an Eleball. “All right! I caught Raikou!”
 
“That's great, Ash.” Lance said. “Let's go.”
“Okay!” Ash chirped.
Lance sweatdropped a little bit. “So, back to Shadow Island?”
“Why not?” Charlotte asked. “Pidgeot, I choose you! Let's Fly!”
Pidgeot nodded and flew off.
 
“So, what are we doing?”
“I suppose we just peace out until someone attacks us.” Charlotte said.
“Ah.”
“Well, I'm going to take a nap.” Ash said.
“I'm going to go fix a snack.” Charlotte said, getting up and heading to the kitchen. “See you later.”
 
 
Three days later…
 
“WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!”
“What?” Ash asked.
Charlotte paused in her screaming to stare at him incredulously. “What part of `We're under attack' do you not understand?”
“Who is it?”
“Team Rocket…”
 
“Damn.” Ash said. “Zapdos, go! Thunder!”
“Moltres, keep them at bay with Flamethrower!” Charlotte called. Moltres nodded her head in reply and kept flaming.
Lance's dragons had churned up whirlpools in the ocean to suck up the boats. It was working admirably.
But the helicopters could still be problematic…
 
“Articuno, Blizzard!”
Never mind about the helicopters.
“Mantine, Supersonic, go!” Charlotte said. Mantine nodded and began confusing the pokemon and trainers that had managed to arrive on land.
Ash released his Pikachu. “Pikachu, use Thunderwave to paralyze anyone who comes close.”
Pikachu nodded and scampered off.
Soon, the trainers had been dispatched, but the cost was pretty heavy. Most of the pokemon were now being healed.
“I hope there isn't a second wave.” Lance said, as she used Restoration rain on her pokemon to heal them.
“Me too.” Charlotte said, as she healed hers with fire.
Ash nodded. “You okay, guys?”
The pokemon nodded.
 
Fortunately, there was none.
 
“How did Team Rocket figure out we were here?”
Charlotte looked angry. “Do you think one of our pokemon might have turned traitor?”
“Impossible.” Ash said. “We'd be able to tell.” He rubbed his amulet, trying not to fidget.
“Hmm….”
