Chapter 34

Ash and Lillie arrive at the place of Samiya, Lillie says, "So you have been to this place before? Ash?" Lillie asks.

"Yeah, it was where I met Manaphy." Ash says. "It is a good thing that Dad lends us this submarine so that we can go there without any problem."

As they enter the Samiya, they are now walking around until they hear the sound. "Papa! Mama!"

A blue blur tackles Ash as he falls down, Ash laughs and says, "Manaphy, it is good to see you again."

"Good to see you, papa." Manaphy says as she turns to Lillie and says, "Mama."

Lillie is surprised as she hugs him. "So I am his Mama?"

"Weird, I thought that it was May that is Mama." Ash says. "But I think that he likes you more than May."

"Yeah." Lillie says as she tickles the Pokemon. "And there are no sign of Team Rocket. So it was fine for now."

Just then, they feel the place is shaking and Lillie says, "Or not..."

Arceus says, "It seems like Samiya has been under attacked."

As they go outside, they see the two members of Team Rocket there as Ash groans, "It's Cassidy and Biff..."

"I told you my name is Butch. Why can't you get my name right?" Butch yells.

"Forget about that, Butch." Cassidy says. "And if it isn't the twerp that gave us a lot of trouble...Why don't you hand over the Manaphy and we'll leave you in peace?"

"You're not going to take Manaphy away." Ash says. Then they send out Marowak and Raticate as Ash and Lillie sends out Greninja and Phione. "Phione, use Bubble Beam!" "Greninja, use Night Slash."

As the two Pokemon attack, Cassidy says, "Dodge the attack, use Hyper Fang."

"You use Bone Club." Butch says.

As they clash at each other, both of them never give up. It is not until Ash uses the Ash-Greninja form that they manage to defeat them, sending them blasting off out of the city and out of the water.

"We're blasting off again." They yell in union as they disappear. Ash then recalls Greninja as Lillie says, "Well, I kinda feel sorry for Greninja to endure that..."

"It is fine. Since Manaphy is using Heart Swap, I just hope that he can acquire a lot of information of what they are doing."

Back in the Team Rocket Headquarters, Giovanni slams the table and says, "What did you say? Those two beat you and you didn't get Manaphy for the plan?"

"We are sorry, boss." The two say in union. Giovanni says, "Those two have been meddling in our plans ever since that Celebi...Botch, did you get the data of Manaphy?"

"Raticate manages to place the data holder on it, so it will record the database with no time." Butch says.

"Excellent." Giovanni says. "If we now have the power of Manaphy, then we will be able to create the army of Legendary Pokemon and Team Rocket will be undefeatable."

Inside the Pokeball, Greninja, who is in Raticate's body, manages to record everything they said and then he uses the Ash-Greninja power to show Ash about it. Ash gasps as he quickly find the data holder on Manaphy and quickly get rid of it.

"Papa, what is that?" Manaphy asks as Ash says, "Team Rocket must have put this without our notice, and they are using it to record his data. Manaphy, please return Greninja and Raticate."

Manaphy uses the Heart Swap again and this time Greninja is back in his Pokeball. "But why is he doing this?" Lillie asks.

"If I am correct, he is using the data to create Pokemon just like Mewtwo." Arceus says. "And when it happens, it was the New Island all over again."

"And we can't let that happen." Ash says. "But right now, we should go back to the others. Manaphy, are you coming with us?" Lillie asks the Pokemon and he nods. After that, the two of them get back into their submarine and then they all go back to the Galar Region.

Once they are now back at the Galar Region, they are surprised to see that a lot of people are waiting for them. The girls are glaring daggers at Lillie as she didn't seem to care about it. Bonnie asks, "How is your underwater exploring?"

"Good until Team Rocket came and ruin it." Ash sighs. "But look who we found."

As he opens the Pokeball, Manaphy appears out of it and May is the one that is excited. "Manaphy?"

But Manaphy is close to Lillie except her, causing her to be in a fury. "What did you do to his mind, Lillie?"

Lillie says innocently, "I did nothing. He decided to make me his mother instead of you."

"You..." May is furious as Manaphy starts to cry after seeing her angry face. Ash says, "What's wrong with you, May? Manaphy is scared because of you."

Lillie is soothing Manaphy as she recalls the Pokemon. Ash then helps Lillie get off the submarine as the two of them decide to leave. "Where are you going?" Brock asks as Ash replies, "Returning the keys to my Dad and Lillie's mother. And then we are going to have some alone time."

As they leave, the girls aren't happy and May says, "She must have polluted Manaphy's mind."

"Calm down, May, we will get our revenge soon." Dawn says as the girls are starting to plan something, causing the boys, Amber and Bonnie to sigh in disappointment.

Here is a new chapter, and this chapter is about Manaphy, they got a glimpse of what Team Rocket is planning, but still not enough. You can guess which Legendary is the next one.
