Deep within a cave, Team Rocket was watching a clip of Pikachu’s moveset.

“So, Thunderbolt, Electro Ball, Quick Attack and don’t forget Iron Tail,” James said. “All first-rate moves. Without a doubt that Pokémon must be ours.”

“Agreed, but first, we need to make it easier by separating Pikachu from that bothersome twerp,” Adagio added while Sonata grabbed the cube.

“Yeah, but those two are stuck like glue, prying those two apart won’t be easy,” Sonata said.

“I couldn’t help hearing you,” a figure shows up with a Pokémon. “That Pikachu will be useful in my plans.”

“Eavesdropping is bad manners who are you?” Jessie asked.

“They call me Madame X and this is Malamar.”

Malamar shines bright lights on Team Rocket.

…
…

“Okay, according to the map,” Jaden looked at it. “The Pokémon center is just beyond the woods.”

“Whoa, what’s that?” Ash asked looking over yonder.

“That, that’s a radio observatory,” Clemont said.

“Radio observatory?” Applejack asked.

“Right it’s a place, that receives radio waves from outer space then it automatically analyzed those waves using the latest high-tech equipment.”

“I have no idea what you just say, but it sounds cool’s.”

The bushes rustled and show Sonata carrying her Misderavous in her arms.

“Hey guys a little help,” Sonata stammered then collapsed.

“Sonata, what happened?” Twilight asked as she and Espeon walked to her.

“Both of them are hurt,” Clemont looking at the injuries. “We need first aid, Bonnie!”

“On it!” Bonnie got first aid.

Hours Sonata came around and open her eyes.

“What’s up.”

“Your awake,” Serena exclaimed.

“What happened to you and your Pokémon?” Rainbow asked.

“Hear me out, I came all the way to tell you in danger.”

“Danger? What are talking about?” Sunset asked.

“Yeah, I want hear more,” Ash implied.

“Pika-Pika.”

“Just thinking about what happened gives me the creeps… it was the worst nightmare times 10…” Sonata started to explain. “So me and my buddies were doing what always do until someone by the name of Madame X overheard our plans along with creepy Pokémon named Malamar, she made it used Hypnosis on us so we would obey her commands, but naturally Jessie, James, Meowth or my sisters, along with Duke and Clyde weren’t having it so they called their Pokémon buddies to them a lesson, but it was already too late, as for me to survive it, called out Misdrevous asked to hurt me, it was short wire was to keep head together, and once we did that we ran out of there as fast we can to find you warning you about Madame X. You can hate all you want but she’s coming.”

“Blah Blah, I'd say you try and trick us again. So you catch Pikachu for yourself.”

“I agree with the kid,” Applejack sided with her. “You're not going to fool us twice.”

“I'm telling you the truth, even if I were to do that I would have done it by now.”

“Sonata,” James called her as Team Rocket caught up. “What are you doing here?”

“You better hurry and catch Pikachu,” Aria added.

“Team Rocket!” Rainbow exclaimed.

“So you are trying to catch Pikachu after all,” Twilight scolded.

“You got it wrong, they’re being controlled just look at their eyes.”

“Let’s move,” Sunset suggested then Madame X and Malamar were right behind them.

“Yikes, it's them, that’s Madame X,” Sonata exclaimed.

“What kind of a name is X?” Serena asked.

“So that Malamar,” Ash held out his Pokédex.

Malamar. The Overturning Pokémon. And the evolved form of Inkay. Possessing the strongest hypnotic power of any Pokémon, Malamar can compel others to do anything it wants them to do.

“So that the famous Pikachu, a strong one indeed. I think I’ll make you my servant right here and now. Malamar.”

Malamar used Hypnosis.

“Keep eyes from the light,” Sonata said as everyone closed their eyes.

“Stop with it with Electro Ball!”

Pikachu used Electro Ball and fired straight at them casing a smokescreen.

“Let’s make tracks before they recovered!” Rainbow shouted as they ran.

“Leaving so soon?” Duke asked while he and Adagio were levitated and cornered them. “Pikachu will become a member of our Pokémon patrol.”

“Pokémon patrol?” Fluttershy asked.

“Unstoppable and destined to take control of the world and put Madame X on the throne to rule it all,” Adagio added.

Both Houndour and Wobbuffet threatened Bonnie.

“They’re is no way you're taking over the world!” Bonnie exclaimed.

” And now I think about that’s all we always do.” Sonata thought to herself then Pikachu was lifted off Ash’s shoulder.

“Now they're using Malamar’s Psychic,” Zane exclaimed as the rest of Team Rocket were in the air.

“Farewell fools,” Madame X said then laughs evilly as floated away.

“We got to do something,” Serena said.

“I know, but how do we know where they’re taking Pikachu?” Rarity asked.

“I’m sure that Madame X has to have a hideout somewhere…the future is now thanks to science! Clemontic Gear, on!” Clemont showed them a robot that look like Pikachu. “I thought we encountered a situation precisely like this one!”

“You did?!” Serena, Bonnie, and Rarity asked.

“Awesome!” Ash exclaimed looking at it. “It’s a Pikabot!”

“I called it my automatic Pikachu Retrieval Device.”

“So cool!”

“Pikachu Retrieval Device?” Sunset asked.

“You get no points for good names,” Bonnie said.

“Observe,” Clemont turns it on. “This detects Pikachu’s unique energy pattern and tracks to the farthest of the land, the bottom of the ocean, or the expanse of the sky!”

“Great! Now, will Pikachu for sure!”

“It’s incredibly inspiring that the steady progress of science can never be stooped!” Then the robot started to beep. “It’s picked up a signal. Onward go Automatic Pikachu Retrieval Device.”

The robot zoomed out of there.

“Begin retrieval!” Clemont exclaimed as he and Ash followed it.

“Wait for us!” Rainbow said as the others followed leaving Sonata behind.

“What about me!” Sonata runs after them.

“What’s going on up ahead?” Clemont asked he caught with it only to find his invention stuck on a fence.

“I think it’s stuck,” Applejack said then it exploded.

“Owie!” Both Sonata and Pinkie were on the ground.

“Chalk that one in the total failure box,” Rainbow said.

“Failure is the mother of success, I so want to believe that,” Clemont said before he fainted.

Hours Later

“Okay, we're all set,” Clemont repaired the APR. “Now don’t we see how you work?”

He turns it on and the bot beeps red blinking lights.

“That’s odd? Perhaps a loose wire?”

“That’s the radio observatory we saw before,” Sunset said.

“Isn’t that Officer Jenny's motorcycle?” Bonnie asked while pointing at it.

“Your right,” Rainbow said seeing it. “Wonder what she’s doing here?”

“You know if that Pika-bot of was right track maybe the weird place is Madame X’s hideout,” Sonata exclaimed.

“Could be, maybe Officer Jenny could get a report and come to investigate, I’d say the probability of that is high.”

“Okay let’s go.”

“Right.”

…

“We should split up,” Ash suggested.

“Right,” Clemont agreed. “Bonnie, Fluttershy, Jaden, Pinkie, and Zane with me.”

“Kay, we go other the way,”

…

“Officer Jenny, since we saw her motorcycle parked outside she got to be in here,” Jaden said.

“Yeah, but could she be?” Bonnie asked.

“Maybe, Madame X got ahold of her,” Fluttershy feared then Malamar was right In front.

“Malamar!” Clemont exclaimed.

“So this Madame X’s hideout!” Pinkie exclaimed that it shine its bright lights on them until all were under mind control.

With Ash’s group…

“Not on here,” Ash and others looked around.

“I wonder if Clemont and the others had any luck,” Serena wondered.

“Negative,” Clemont and Jaden said as caught with them. “We haven’t found a thing.”

“Ash, Serena, Sunset, Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Applejack let’s look together,” Bonnie said as she, Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Zane came from behind.

“Uh oh, now they're under mind control too,” Twilight said then Malamar was right behind them shine its light.

“Don’t look at it!” Rainbow shouted.

“Let’s run!” Ash exclaimed but was cornered.

“What are we going to now?” Serena asked.

“I know, Rainbow called out Crobat and used Air Slash!”

“Good thinking!” She did just that bring Crobat out. “No time to explain, Use Air Slash!”

The Bat Pokémon attack them all with Air Slash.

“Ow, ow!”

“Man, does it hurt, Rarity, Serena, you two are next!”

“I don’t want my face all messed up like that,” Both of them said that, and suddenly there were brainwashed.

“Serena! Rarity!” Rainbow exclaimed.

“We're too late!” Sonata said. “We need to scram and quick!”

“Sound good but how are going that?!” Ash asked.

“I know, Espeon used Swift on the planet model!” Twilght yelled and Espeon fired Swift at it and caused it to fall on Malamar who stopped with Psychic.

“Good going!” Twilight said as they ran out of there.

“Ok, now maybe we get the chance to stop Madame X’s plans to take over the world and save our pals at the same time!” Sonata exclaimed.

“Got it!” Ash agreed and then went into a dark room.

“Where are we now?” Sunset asked.

“It's too dark to know but I think we're in the monitoring room,” Twilight said.

A light came on showing Madame X, Pikachu, and Team Rocket.

“You thought correctly,” Madame X said.

“Pikachu!” Ash called his buddy.

“Show them your power.”

Pikachu hopped down and used Thunderbolt and Zapped Ash then fell down.

“Ash, are you okay?” Sunset asked him.

“Why would he attack Ash like that?” Rainbow asked.

“Look at the eyes, Pikachu got hypnotized by Malamar,” Sonata said.

“No way!”

“Pikachu has become a faithful and obedient servant. Now stop them once and for all!”

Pikachu used Quick Attack and rammed right into Ash and Sunset.

“Fantastic! Continue your wonderful work!”

Pikachu used Iron Tail and came right at Twilight.

“Stop it!” Twilght rolled out of the way before made it contact.

“Pikachu can’t hear a word you say! Madame X has taken over its head!”

“No way, that Pikachu would so mind control so easily!” Rainbow denied.

“Rainbow's right! I don’t believe it! Pikachu is still my number one partner and my friend. I know you came to hear me!”

“Give it up, Ash,” Fluttershy as she and the others were in the room. “No matter how you fight you can not resist Madame X.”

“The world now belongs to Madame X,” Pinkie came in. “With Pikachu and the Pokémon Patrol.”

Several doors open tons of wild Pokémon.

“Pikachu, end this!” Madame X said then it used Electro Ball and fired it at them which all of them dodge but Ash got hit with Thunderbolt.

“That does it,” Applejack exclaimed. “Treecko come out and knocked some sense into him.”

Treecko came out and lunged right at Pikachu with both its hand forming a claw causing Pikachu some damage but resumed to hit Ash

“What just happened?” The farm girl asked.

“I think Treecko just learn how used Crush Claw!” Twilight exclaimed.

“Pikachu? If you can hear me, please fight it,” Ash walked to it. “Don’t let her control you!”

“You fool, you cannot win.”

“Pikachu buddy, I believe in you. We are a team.”

As soon as Ash came in direct contact Pikachu stopped and backed away.

“What are doing, continue to attack the boy.”

“That’s right Pikachu!” Twilight came as she held Ash up. “Break free from her control!”

“Whatever bond may be left, I will break that connection forever, Pikachu stop them now!”

Pikachu prepare to use Thunderbolt but struggled to release the energy.

“You can do it!”

Then Espeon nudged Twilight's legs.

“Is something wrong?” Twilight asked it.

“Esp!” It pointed to something it was Clemont’s APR came rolling and right for Pikachu.

“Look out!” Ash tackled it to avoid it then it exploded in Malamar then collapsed.

And everyone that was under control was back to normal.

“Why are we here?” Duke asked.

“Most likely to figure out where we are?” James added.

“Oh joy!” Sonata hugged her sisters.” “Your you again!”

“So who tell me what happened just now?” Jaden is confused.

“Simple, all of us, under Malamar’s control then Clemont's invention came from outside and explode in its face,” Pinkie explained. “And look there’s Madame X!”

She drop her cloak and was actually Officer Jenny.

“Officer Jenny?” Twilight asked. “She Madame X the entire time.”

“What am I doing?” Jenny asked. “I got a report that strange things were going on here and came right away. then and ran right into that Malamar.”

“Malamar!” It began to speak allowing Meowth to translate.

“Hey, Malamar saying it’s grateful for Officer Jenny doing all of the hard work.”

“What’s going on?” Fluttershy asked.

“Of course, Malamar must have hypnotized Officer Jenny, she assumed the role of Madame X,” Zane realize and Malamar kept talking.

“Malamar says how it was able to start working on an important weapon.”

“New weapon?” Sunset asked.

“And what are you going do to with it?” Twilight asked.

“Malamar.”

“Take over the world,” Meowth explained. “And that means we are doing the work from before.”

“No one controls me!” Aria exclaimed angrily.

“In your dreams,” Clyde said. “Magnemite use Flash Canon!”

“Simisear, Fire Blast!”

“Pikachu, Thunderbolt let’s go!”

All three fired Malamar dodged it and floated away.

“Come back and fight you, coward!” Adagio exclaimed as everyone followed to the end of the hall.

“What’s that?” Rainbow asked looking around the room.

“Your new weapon, this is it,” Officer Jenny said.

“Malamar!”

“That’s right, this how the new world starts and only the beginning of its Grand Design, but it has been discovered it has to be destroyed right away!”

The room shine bright and then started to blow.

“It's going blow run for it!” Jaden shouted the everyone ran out of there right the whole place went boom and everyone saw Malamar float away.

“The beginning of its grand design. Those words came from Malamar,” Sunset said.

“What does it mean and what will happen next?” Fluttershy asked.

“Good question, but one thing for that scary-looking Pokémon,” Rarity implied as the journey continues.
