Anything that appears does not belong to me...
(.......)
Now, with Lionel's story and journey told to the whole world.
People watched the screens, patiently waiting for the world final.
But it wasn't like that...
This time, the same music from that time was playing again... Very few could remember it.
So you could imagine what was coming was...
[The Topper's Pain]
The appearance of this image was a high alert for those who had knowledge of the Organization because of the R on the chest of these subjects.
Simply those who weren't familiar with Team Rocket. The Topper felt sympathy for the man on screen, or others who understood after finding themselves in the same situation.
Only Topper knows the Pain of getting an answer wrong...
Right???
It was a real horror.
Meanwhile...
Giovanni gave a single glance to the man on the screen, saying absolutely nothing.
James tensed as he received his boss's gaze, but he couldn't help but feel strange at the image shown on the screens... Something like this had never happened to him before. Could it be from the future?
His companions, Jessie and Meowth, looked at the man who looked away in surprise. Was he really one of those people?
[The Reason for Abandonment]
This time, the broadcast struck a deep emotional chord with the Team Rocket trio.
James stood frozen, his usual flamboyance replaced by a somber expression as the screen unveiled scenes of his abandonment by his wealthy family after fleeing an arranged marriage, leaving him visibly depressed.
Jessie, beside him, crossed her arms with a tight frown, her discomfort evident as the reminder of her own past—orphaned and raised in poverty, later rejected by circus life—stirred painful memories she rarely acknowledged.
Meowth scratched his head with a scowl, his sly grin fading as the broadcast hinted at his own abandonment, raised by humans only to be cast aside when he couldn't learn to speak human language, a rejection that fueled his bitterness.
Together, their shared vulnerabilities hung heavy in the air.
Giovanni, observing from his command post, sighed deeply, rubbing his temples as he questioned the decision to recruit this trio, whose personal struggles now clashed with Team Rocket's ruthless reputation.
This was no longer amusing; it had turned profoundly sad. Those on high alert—rival organizations and Kanto law enforcement—were stunned by the emotional outpouring from these notorious members, wondering why they carried such pain while operating in Kanto, the region where Team Rocket plotted its schemes.
The broadcast revealed their intertwined pasts: James' familial rejection, Jessie's harsh upbringing, and Meowth's betrayal, forging a bond of outcasts that fueled their loyalty to each other, yet starkly contrasted with the organization's cold pragmatism, offering a rare glimpse into the human side of Team Rocket.
[The Brilliant Romance]
Returning with the spotlight on the young First Champion of Alola and now with his well-deserved second place as one of the world's trainers.
Everyone looked at the screen intrigued, it seemed that Ash Ketchum was in another relationship with an unknown girl.
Even with the confirmed relationship with the named Queen of Sinnoh, would these images be true and would the boy have a small harem?
Ash looked speechless, Pikachu had a poker face.
Misty refused to hit the coach, knowing it would make him even dumber than he already was.
Even so...
-I can't believe it.
Knowing that Ash could possibly date a minimal number of girls made her have a misconception about the boy, despite having already met him.
Brock was throwing a tantrum, crying miserably in a corner of the Pokémon Center...
Being comforted by Nurse Joy who had felt sorry for the boy being there.
...
Dawn looked blushing and confused at the image shown on the screen, she seemed to be very close to the boy who turned the world upside down with his victories in the PWC Tournament.
She was hesitant to watch that, since the boy seemed to have an established relationship with the Champion of Sinnoh, her region, but she didn't want to get into trouble by being with a boy who already had a partner.
On the other hand, his mother named Johanna.
I looked a little disgusted at the boy on the screens, not wanting to believe what I was seeing.
She had been upset from the start that the boy was dating multiple girls, so seeing him dating her daughter... It made her upset.
So when in doubt, he prepared his ultimate weapon just in case.
...
Once again, his son was seen dating a different girl than the one he already knew.
Delia didn't know what to think about that. What kind of tastes did her son have in women?
Since he seemed to date a very small number of women, something she didn't know what to think.
She had raised her son with much sisterly love, telling him whether he was doing bad or not.
So seeing this made her miss her...
[The Romance Between Coach and Coordinator]
Max opened his mouth slightly, showing a bit of what was his great astonishment.
Caroline smiled mischievously, taking some amusement in his touch.
Normal raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat questionably at his daughter.
And May...
She also had a blush covering her entire face, unable to believe what she was seeing.
She was aware of how much her body had grown for her age, so it was normal for certain people to try to get her into a relationship... So the rejections came and went.
So seeing her finally dating that famous guy in the future had been great news.
...
The situation worsened, Ash had a blush appearing on his cheeks.
Pikachu just stood there, looking slightly surprised.
Misty shook her head slightly, no longer knowing what to think about what was being demonstrated.
Watching Ash go out with several girls didn't help her new opinion at all... Was Ash really a womanizer? She didn't find it funny.
And if this was a lie...
While they were in their own world, Brock kept crying instead to be comforted by Nurse Joy.
[The Tender Romance]
Lana looked down directly, tenderly trying to hide the blush that was coming out on her face... Being totally embarrassed by what they were showing.
Lillie stared at her friend, without saying a word or even making a facial expression.
Mallow, Sophocles and Kiawe were left speechless by what was shown.
"I think this is too much, don't you?" Sophocles said nervously.
—They've already shown Ash with different partners, I think he really enjoys them.
Mallow punched Kiawe on the shoulder, silencing him.
...
The girl's mother looked somewhat amused at what was happening.
Her daughter had a rather mild character, becoming a little nervous and docile when talking about things different from what she was used to.
For some reason, that made her look sweet and cute... But no boy had ever shown any interest in her.
So this surprised her, but she remained silent.
Without commenting anything yet on the young man.
...
Cynthia had a twitch in her eye seeing all of this.
While her relationship with Ash seemed to be healthy and very well-made, what they were showing made her go back to the beginning and reflect on whether she did the right thing by being in a relationship with Ash.
Since he seemed to have different partners, something that she did not seem to want to accept or at least know why he had a kind of harem.
[A Blossoming Romance]
Brock raised his head so fast he exceeded the speed of light.
Ash and Misty looked at the boy in surprise, as if they didn't know him despite the time they had spent together.
Brock patiently approached the screen, his face slightly flushed and his smile on.
The joy transmitted convinced Ash and Misty to smile for their friend, Pikachu did exactly the same as his trainer.
Seeing that he could be with a beautiful woman brightened Brock's world. Knowing he wouldn't be alone after so many attempts made him truly happy.
—This is great.
...
The woman recognized herself on the screen, Lucy her name.
She was currently walking through a forest to clear her mind of everything she had seen previously... She was shocked to see what was happening in front of the screen.
Was she going to date a Rock-type Gym Leader? That thought made her wonder what would happen in the future.
After all, it wouldn't hurt to give the boy a chance.
He seemed cute to her somehow.
[The Romance Born from Companionship]
Bruno, Agatha and Goodshow immediately looked at those shown on the screen.
Bruno and Goodshow's glances were amused, knowing that those two would propose to start a relationship in the future would be something they never imagined despite their good friendship.
Agatha's was a sympathetic and nostalgic one, thinking back to her younger years and her love life that never worked out, only to enjoy what was shown. Seeing a relationship between her partner and her leader.
Lance and Lorelei ignored everything that was happening around them, only concentrating on looking at each other weakly with a small tender blush on their cheeks.
Were they really going to start a relationship in the future? They paused to think about it as they locked eyes.
They might have things in common, and their friendship outside of work...
It would be a good place to start, but they would talk about that later.
(.......)
We have the last Shipp of Ash, so to form his official Harem.
May, Dawn, Cynthia, Serena, Lillie, and Lana. The six women I'll need for Ash's harem, he didn't accept any more.
And I'm sorry for those who loved Misty, but I think she needs something else... I've always liked a sibling relationship between Ash and Misty, although it won't be because of the anime's confirmation that the girl had feelings for Ash.
But forgetting that, I have to ask you a question.
Who would like to see the girls in cheerleading outfits supporting Ash?
