And so the battle for keeping their land of plot began between the two restaurants trying their best to their ability to winning and attracting customers to their establishment. Things were slowly winning to the favor of the taller restaurant, what kind of surprised Ash and his Pokemon team though is when they spotted Jessie outside the staircase leading into the restaurant!
Handing out menus and greeting everyone inside to even giving a happy smile too them. Wearing what appears to be a very formal waitress outfit, to then smirking darkly towards the boy and his Pikachu. As they sneered lightly and glared back in annoyance but stayed cool. Considering things maybe slow but sooner or later will start to attract customers and were getting them too.
Though not at a speed the parents were hoping for plus as they were serving and making food? That is when things began becoming troublesome as for some reason without even looking or checking it the tables or chair's out, they will hear some squeaks or yelps of people falling off or on top of their now collapse chairs. Earning some of the Pokemon and Susan to rush on out towards them asking if they were alright at the same time helping them up.
Only to get scolded or yelled at by the customer saying is this anyway to treat their customers. Though had to stop and blink confusingly at Lucario. Who bent down and look at the rubble, shifting her eyes left to right as if searching for something or what is out of place. Too even beginning to close her eyes and focusing lightly as she began picking up what seems to be odd Aura on some of the chairs left by someone's hand or paw?
Too which she widen her eyes and jump up onto her feet shouting, screaming to everyone not to sit down! Making the customers who had entered or were about to sit down stare towards the Pokemon curiously: even Ash got alerted to Lucario's shout and came running in to see what I the matter at the same time resting a hand onto a chair. Only for him to nearly trip forward from the back of the chair coming right off from the chair to then completely falling apart, making Ash who stumbled a bit and stood upright stared back at the chair in surprised.
"What the heck who went and mess with the chairs?" He openly asks while lifting the piece in his hand up to his face, hearing the customers around them began murmuring and chatting to one another stating how they just arrived or even pondering if one of the Pokemon are clawing things or were in their teething phase? Even one of the children asks Susan if the Pokemon were probably the cause of this, to which Susan shrug her shoulders informing the young boy and the other customers about how they've checked every Pokemon in the room.
Stating and clearing their names of saying they were check over twenty times before opening up the shop and began attracting customers. Though Ash who is still looking at the piece in his hands, tilting and twisting it left to right felt a tug on his open coat, making the boy to turn his attention towards who it is and saw it was Lucario. Having a very stern look on her eyes as she lifted up her paw towards the bottom of the back piece connecting too the chair, letting him notice that there were signs of fowl play and was even slashed at with a Pokemon move.
"Hey Susan come here, folks if you excuse us the food will come. Gardevoir, Lopunny!" Ash called for Susan to come over, while then letting the people know they will still get their food at the end calling for the Psychic/Fairy type and Large Rabbit to come into the room. Though smiled brightly seeing they were already thinking ahead of time by bringing out new sets of chairs with Gardevoir, using her psychic powers to carry a good dozen of them. With Lopunny giggling and laughing happily by carrying four chairs in each hand to showing off her strength.
Getting everyone who were standing and waiting for the chairs to be amazed and awed at the strengths these two Pokemon were showing as they began replacing the broken chairs with the news one, to even laughing at how Lopunny went ahead with fits of laughter to show. That these chairs were in great condition and won't break apart on them, too then yelp embarrassingly when she accidentally test the waters too much and slammed down onto the floor breaking the chair beneath her. Gaining a room of laughter from everyone with some customers stating and saying how they don't get this type of amusement anywhere else, or even having hilarious Pokemon like these to entertain them.
Susan after informing Ri-ri and Meowzy to go check on her dad in the kitchen; went ahead towards Ash and Lucario wondering what it is the two of them found by examining the chair as she steps close while looking closely at the piece Ash is holding "you notice anything off with this, the way it got slashed looked like a Pokemon could have done it." He informed while handing the girl the wooden piece. "Only problem is the way it was slash though is not precise, meaning they had to run through the shop sometime before we just opened. And all our Pokemon were accounted for or headed onto the beach with the fliers?
"Yeah..." Susan hummed while lightly placing a hand onto Carla's head getting the aura Pokemon to hum lightly with a giggle then purred happily from feeling her scratch her head lightly "Ash this looks like a Meowth claw marks?" She whispered while turning towards Meowzy who was on the counter-top in the kitchen waiting for when the father is done cooking the food, so this way she can carry the plate of foods on the tray on her back to deliver it too their customers. While Ri-ri is sitting cutely on the edge of the counter with her tail wagging, eager to get ready to deliver her own set of plates too the customers.
"Though no way your Meowth could have done it since you said just had her out of the Pokeball right?" Susan asked while looking at the boy, who nodded his head "and knowing trained Pokemon, they would not be this sloppy with their moves. So...it had to be a wild Meowth that could have done this...but."
"No Meowth are native in this area and the only Pokemon that would be native, are water type Pokemon." Ash finished for her while closing his eyes in thought pondering exactly who could have..."WAIT", he growled and head on out of the restaurant doors swinging around the entrance, staring towards the other restaurant with his hands balled up.
Watching and listening to Meowth in the distance laughing and chanting out towards the visitors who were coming into the restaurant. About the many different kind of food and drinks they were selling, as well their specials or special deals they are having when buying one order gets the second order for free. "Have a suspicion that Team Rocket is up to no good and are trying to sabotage us", Ash openly stated towards Susan and Lucario who came walking out of the store too where Ash ran off to. Stopping right behind him as they too look towards the Meowth who were handing out the menus "Lucario", Ash then turned his head down at the female Pokemon who saluted in attention.
"I want you to feel and get a good idea of Meowth's aura, so this way while we work you can pick up on it right away. In case he or Team Rocket does something dastardly once more to our shop okay." Which he laughed when he saw how bright Lucario's eyes gotten and nearly knocked him down onto the ground by hugging him tightly, to then nuzzling her face into his chest yipping yes sir, or sure thing Ash over and over. Getting a lot of the beach goers who were walking by to laugh and smile happily at the affectionate Pokemon is being, to then suggesting to their partner or some of their girlfriends that they should go to that shop and get some food there, while some of the children who were with their parents or family were pointing and saying how they want to eat over there.
Making those who were lined up in front of the rivaling restaurant and where James, Meowth and Jessie were handing out menus to those who were waiting to be seated and enter inside the shop. Watched how one by one everybody were leaving their store, preferring to head on over towards the other restaurant and having a great time over there. Causing the trio who were out in front of the building, ready to hand out another wave of menus: blink openly at the empty line and began looking left to right too then Jessie, gripping tightly on the menu as she began whacking Meowth over the head "what did you do Meowth that scared away all our customers!" Shouted Jessie.
"Ow...I did nothing and don't you dare put the blame on Meowth, I was doing what we've been doing ever since we opened up. How do I know you two goons didn't do anything to mess things up!" Meowth accused while pointing a finger up at Jessie, as the two of them began going into a small argument between one another while James. Who let out a defeated sigh and hanging his head down, opened his eyes and stared on over towards the other restaurant. Noticing the twerps Pokemon moving about and handing out fliers, or doing cute things in front of the shop to attract customers and even welcoming them in or even serving their food and drinks. "I oughta scratch you into pieces like I did too-" Meowth began saying only to get interrupted by James.
"I think found where our customers been going and it seems the twerp is winning them over with his Pokemon." whined the 25 year old man while pointing across the fields. Making Jessie and Meowth to look over in the direction at the same time widening their eyes at the many customers they were having "and here I thought sabotaging their work place before lunch hour would have work, but seems like they are finding a way around it." groaned the man while face palming.
"What makes this even worse besides the twerp helping the family, we won't get paid or enough money to repair our Gyarados sub that we spent fortunes on!" Jessie growled out while crumbling the plastic menu in her hands and nearly ripping it apart. "We can't afford to lose too them let alone some snot nose brat like him!" she growled out while then having a light bulb "or...we could easily make them lose everything all at once." cackle the red hair woman causing the two males next to her to freak out a bit. But stood firm as she is right if they don't do something, not only will they lose their pay? But will no doubt be fired right off the bat for letting their rivals get the best of them or even business.
"Alright Jessie I see where this is going what is the plan Meowth claws are purr-fect to scratching things up." Chuckled the trouble making cat that and he is somewhat getting slight paper cuts from handing out a lot of menu's today to their customers. He wouldn't mind for some mindless sabotaging and messing things up for the twerp and his friends today, payback for all the times they blasted them off into the stratosphere!
Jessie chuckled darkly while rubbing her hands up and down together with her lips curling up into a sinister smirk. "Oh don't worry your little paws Meowth cause what I have in mind is more dastardly and evil that is right up our alley for Team Rocket, now huddle up this is what we are going to do." She wrapped her arms around the two members of her group close and began whispering out of what they will be doing for the next few hours of work they have left.
Too which they began their devious work right away against their rivals and Ash: making sure that things will start going sour for everyone including mixing things up for the Pokemon who are helping them out by starting with the Pokemon who were handing out fliers and menus too everyone who is out about on the beach or walking past the restaurant, or just lounging around on their beach towels. Getting them to come and checking out the restaurant in case they were hungry.
To which Buneary, Pikachu and Riolu were having a blast handing them out only to start yelping and screaming out in fear! Trying their hardest to keeping their hold onto the fliers and menus that were literally being flown right out of their hands and then getting buried by large plowed of sand splashing right on top of them from James, driving a sand bike right past them while drifting past them causing wave of sands to pile on top of the three small Pokemon with Buneary one ear popping out, with Pikachu's electric tail and Riolu's blue tail poking out of the sand dune. Too then their heads digging themselves out from the sand dune, to then shaking their heads causing couple sands to get thrown at the surrounding people who were shouting and scolding the Pokemon to stop too then started marching off while crumbling the fliers and menus in their hands.
Throwing them down at the three Pokemon who flatten their ears against their head in sadness as they were being told off by random strangers, to then watching their hard work being thrown into the ground and being stomped on, causing the three Pokemon to whimper.
While James who is driving off in his sand bike looked over his shoulder with a cocky smile while lowering his sunglasses down a bit laughing at the sight of the twerps Pokemon and his new friends Pokemon having depressing looks on their faces.

Meanwhile that is going on back at the restaurant things were beginning to looking up as Susan and her family who had a tip jar next to the register is filling up nicely along with the cash register also being filled up with their business booming and prospering greatly, almost having enough money to fully pay off the loan for their home and plot on the beach.
"Lopunny, Gardevoir think could deliver these drinks too table 13 and 14?" Susan asked the two female Pokemon who happily skipped their way over too the front of the register, with Gardevoir grabbing the smoothie glass and Lopunny, grabbing onto an orange soda "cool , I will be right behind you with their meals." Too which Susan smiled happily when Meowzy came out from the kitchen with the food tray neatly tied on her back meowing happily to Susan "thank you very much Meowzy! You're quite helpful aren't ya." She smiled while petting the cat on the head.
Once she took the two plates and began following right behind Lopunny and Gardevoir, Meowth who had sneak his way into the restaurant unnoticed. Hiding right behind one of the tables began eating some banana's from a fruit bowl, snickered with a wide scary grin on his face and threw the banana peel right in front of Gardevoir first, knowing well the Psychic/Female Pokemon will lose balance very easily with those legs of hers.
Too which trouble ensued as Meowth made sure to throw it right before she could sense it or see it on the floor causing the female Pokemon to literally yelping out while throwing the drink forward into the person right into their face and staining their entire clothes. Forcing them to jumping up in pure shock and anger, to which they glared at the Pokemon only to wince their eyes closed from hearing Lopunny yelping out as well throwing and dumping an entire orange soda on a young lass wearing a white dress only for it to becoming ruined and covered in nothing but soda.
This had the two shouting and scolding at the two in which alert Susan to the outrage as she asks whats going on, only for once again Meowth to cause trouble but this time. Sticking out his leg in front of Susan, causing her ankle to get caught and having her falling forward and hard into the floor of the restaurant! Sending hot pasta and pizza to fly everywhere and hitting those in front of her and causing them to get burned badly! Forcing a large group of people to start leaving or demanding some refunds for the poor service and treatments, which the mother tried her best to giving them the refund or apologizing for what is happening.
Too then flinch and nearly whip herself around at hearing what sounded like roar of flames being heard from the kitchen with black smoke coming out from the kitchen. Followed by Ash, Meowzy and Lucario rushing out from there covered in nothing but soot and ashes, coughing badly with puff of smoke coming out from their mouths to which everyone began hearing what sounded like a fire hydrant being used against the stove.
Causing more and more of the crowd of people leaving and stepping out from the restaurant, murmuring and speaking to one another about how they will take their business somewhere else and at the rivaling restaurant. Too which had Ash rushing out the door wanting to stop them and calling them back, though groaned in defeat at seeing it was fruitless "man...we were doing good to what in the world happened?" Murmured the boy while then turning his attention over too his right spotting Riolu, Buneary and Pikachu sadly walking their way over too him with drooping ears and tails "hey what happen to you three?! Why are you covered in sand!" exclaimed Ash while bending down and began patting the trio and getting the sand off from their bodies.
Listening to them whimpering and whining out too him saying how some jerk drove by them and caused a wave of sand to fly on top of them. Too which then they tried shaking the sand off from them, causing the grain of sands on their fur to hit and slap against the people they were handing out fliers too "hate to say that is all the business we're going to get..." came Susan's father's voice from within the restaurant causing Ash to lean back towards the entrance. Watching the family gathering around in the kitchen which no doubt whatever happened to the stove? Is completely busted or too dangerous for usage throughout the rest of the day as they seem to be somewhat upset, but at the same time not "apparently the gas burner pipes were dislodged during cooking though easy to fix for someone like me. But I suggest we close shop since I can't get it burning again for at least eight hours."
"It's alright dad we did our best today anyway and seeing all those customers! IT was amazing to see this place becoming so lively again!" Susan exclaimed as her voice had gotten Ri-ri to run on inside and hopping up onto the girls arms. "I say we did really good today problems or not!" the girl continued while nuzzling her nose with Riolu's own nose getting the fighting type to bark cutely and rubs her snout with hers.
This had Ash smiling softly as his Pokemon minus Lucario all regrouping with him and gathering around him. Chanting and explaining the best they could of what happened with them while they were trying to serve drinks, with Lopunny who has a very scary looking scowl lifted up two banana peels in her paws to then handing them too Ash. Who blinked confusingly at the peels, too then looking over at Gardevoir looking like she has a good idea who was responsible for tripping them, causing her and Lopunny to accidentally throw the drinks onto the customers.
Too which Meowzy who approached the boy last blinked her eyes lightly when she heard the Psychic/Fairy type stating how Meowth is behind this and that is responsible for causing her, Lopunny and Susan to all trip at once which Meowzy had to furrow her brows speaking up at Gardevoir with a shout. Stating how she has nothing to do with this nor will she ever cause trouble for anyone, even going far as saying how she's been with Susan's father in the kitchen this entire time handing out the orders towards the girl and them.
"Voir, Gardevoir!" Though Gardevoir would have gotten mad being yelled like that, couldn't help but laughed and giggle a bit as she can see where Meowzy is coming from. Thinking that she is blaming her for their misfortunes. Only for the female feline to blushed madly, to then sheepishly rubbing the back of her head apologizing back too Gardevoir for her outburst then widen her eyes when Ash stated.
"I see Meowth from Team Rocket did this did they! They also probably drove past Pikachu, Buneary and Riolu over with sand too! And have no doubt Jessie herself probably caused the stove to burst into flames by removing the...OOH!" He jumps up onto his legs with gritted teeth and a angry scowl n his face "I say we confront Team Rocket for what they were doing, as well their boss they are working with! Lucario!" He called towards her to which the boy blinked his eyes as when he called her?
She did not come at all nor did it look like she is anywhere to be seen "hey where did she go?" asks the boy as he continues looking for the female Pokemon. Too which had Lopunny and the other to start looking for the canine Pokemon as well, to which Pikachu after swiping his paws over his head and ears, while quickly shaking it left to right. Blinked his amber eyes and stared ahead of him seeing what appears to be one angry fighting/steel type Pokemon who is stomping and marching her way over towards the other restaurant where Team Rocket can be seen out in front with smiling face.
"Pikapi! Pikapi, Chu-Cha Pikachu!" shouting and exclaiming the electric mouse as he grabs onto Ash's pant leg and tugged on it in order too get his attention. To which it succeeded as he looks down at the male Pokemon to then up where he is pointing at, noticing where Lucario is heading too and about to confront by herself!
"Thanks Pikachu, Lucario wait you shouldn't fight right now come back!" Shouted Ash as he gives chase towards the angry Pokemon followed by the others following right behind him, getting the family inside to blink their eyes and head on out of their restaurant like home to see what is the commotions all about, to which they see Ash and his team of Pokemon rushing on over too the rivaling restaurant where they see three people handing out menus.

"You three did an amazing job am quite proud of my decision of hiring the three of you." The manager announced out towards the bundle of crowds surrounding the front entrance and slowly making their way inside "have you three ever thought of doing this kind of work full time? You are amazing at it and would love someone of your energy and enthusiasm for such work effort apart of my restaurant." The old lady cackled out while looking up at two of the three members who were giggling and chuckling sheepishly down at her.
"Oh you're too kind but our work and business is with Team Rocket, once a rocket member always rocket member I always say." Jessie inquired while rubbing her hands together while folding them together as James and Meowth nodded their heads in agreement.
"Though we are glad to be of help and hopefully that our business with you has been quite fruitful!" James added getting the old lady to laugh and smile brightly as she agrees. They have been quite fruitful in their work ethics and did such an amazing job to sabotaging her rivals work place? Along with angering the customers there by having the Pokemon and their daughter messing up to even causing the stove gas pipe loose is even more genius! Preventing them from cooking anymore food for the rest of the lunch hour; while having to be forced to fixing the gas pipe that will literally take nearly 8 hours for the stove to re-heat again is just an added bonus.
"Yes, yes and don't you three worry you're Gyarados submarine is fixed and waiting for you at my cousin's boating docks in the next city over. I just wanted-" before she could congratulate them for helping her out and possibly ruining a family business the only thing the trio heard was a very angry.
"CARIO! Lucario, car, cario!" coming from the female fighting type who is breathing and huffing madly at the trio with menacing eyes. Her shoulders rising and lowering with each deep breath she took to then thrusting her arm outward pointing and calling them out for what they did back at the restaurant! "Cario, Lucario, cario, cario, Lu!"
"Um translation Meowth?" Jessie leaned close to the male cat Pokemon, who looks up at her and then back at Lucario. Letting out a low hum as there were some profanities being said between those lines of dialogue but nevertheless heard what she was saying too them.
"Yeah I would like to hear what this crazy of a Pokemon, who belongs to such a crazy trainer has to say!" Pushed the manager as she watches and hears Lucario snarling dangerously at her, ready to lunge and rip her to shreds for speaking badly about Ash like that only to get prevented from doing so when said boy. Managed to reach her in time while grabbing her arms holding her back from doing something reckless or even harming another human being in front of everyone, even if the old hag deserves it.
"Alright but it ain't pretty", Meowth groaned out while shaking his head "she says that we are ugly, smug looking, old looking no good for nothing assholes she has ever seen in her life. Stating and saying how it is low of us to cause trouble to her ex-trainer's families restaurant like that. Too even going far as to damaging and ruining their only home they have here, wondering why it is the old hag is doing all of this." Meowth repeated what the thrashing Lucario been chanting out and thrashing around in Ash's arms.
Making Jessie to get lightly ticked at being called old but will let it slide for now, considering right now and the situation at hand. The canine Pokemon has no evidence or even hints that they had done anything as such, or even going over there destroying or ruining the brats home "pssh, you kidding me mutt you have no proof or evidence we did such things!" The old lady commented with a snide remark, getting Lucario to fume out once more and thrashing again.
"Settle down Lucario, settle down!" Ash tried to calm her and with enough strength in his muscles, manage to spin her around his back and right into the other Pokemon who finally arrived to the scene. Too which Lopunny quickly grab a hold on the girl, grunting and groaning loudly from the steel/fighting type trying to force her way towards Team Rocket and the old hag.
Though Ash isn't going let them off that easily as he quickly throws an arm forward with one finger pointing at them all "and as for you don't you ever called my partner mutt ever again! And we do in fact have evidence and proof of fowl play in Susan's restaurant!" exclaimed the boy while pulling his arm close to him with a harsh glare and grinding of his teeth "if you four haven't know or have knowledge of Lucario's species as well Riolu's! They are able to sense on both Pokemon and Human's AURA: from what Lucario has been picking up as of lately is Meowth's aura."
Meowth humphed while smugly looking up on his tall small chair of his crossing his arms "please twerp there is no way for her being able to pick up anything from me." He then opened one eye halfway looking at the boy and his leering Pokemon, unaware of a female Meowth heading her way over here one he knew from his past "there is no way you got any kind of clawing evidence of trusty old Meowth!"
"Can it Meowth you are not trustworthy much I can throw you and believe me when I say this", Ash smirked "you are quite light to throw." The boy stated making the feline to growl out while stomping his foot against the flat end of his chair, receiving quite the burn from Ash as he is right. The boy can't trust him nonetheless he throws him, and boy was it a good burn. "Now enough why is it that you want to get rid of Susan's families home like that! It is the only place they have!"
"Because boy I got here first and believe me when I say this too you." The old lady then lifted her cane and began poking, shoving and even causing pain to enter into Ash's stomach causing his Pokemon to growl and bark at her to knock it off "you are to young to even understand or comprehend what it is about being in a business, though I doubt a simpleton like yourself will even know what business is!" She scowled out while then yelping when she felt Pikachu. Tackling into her stomach forcing her to stumble back and closing one eye, watching the electric mouse sparking electricity from his cheek sacks "humph doesn't matter by the time the day is over? They will lose everything including their home and there is nothing you, or this disgusting, pathetic excuse of a mutt can do about it." She finished while thrusting her cane over towards the very angry and thrashing Lucario.
"I am getting really tired of you treating my Lucario poorly like that! What rights you have to dissed my partner like that huh!" Ash shouted while stepping forward as Meowzy finally reach where the others were, lightly panting a bit as she isn't used to running through sandy beaches yet. Huffing and puffing lightly from trying her best to run over and hopefully help out Ash with whats going on.
Too which once she looks up at the group and Team Rocket, who were just happily indulging themselves of inviting the customers in. Too which Meowth who went to look over at the twerp and his Pokemon, blinked his eyes down at the female Meowth who is standing nearby the boy, who is bickering and bantering between the old lady and himself: which Meowth tuned them out while staring at the girl Pokemon intently "Me-Meowzy? Is...Is that you!?" Meowth exclaimed getting the female Pokemon to look up at him with blinking eyes.
Too then widening her eyes at the sigh of Meowth jumping down from his chair and began approaching her on two legs! It...couldn't be him she thought, she hasn't seen him since 2 years ago!? "It's me Meowzy Meowth remembered, what-what are you doing here with that twerp?" Meowth asks ignoring the looks he is getting from Buneary, Gardevoir and Lopunny. Who is still doing her best to keeping Lucario from breaking free and pouncing onto the old looking hag who is arguing with their trainer.
"Nya...meow, merrow", Meowzy meowed out while lifting one paw up into the air. Informing with a scowl look on her face that Ash, or the twerp as he rudely called him. Is now her new Pokemon trainer and is on his journey of becoming a Pokemon master! All the while having an amazing time with him and the girls who are with him! Too even stating how amazing and great he is with everyone along with how caring and kind he is to his Pokemon.
Making Meowth to grimace lightly as he then scratches the side of his cheek "oh-oh is that so...I-I guess that means you are happy huh...wait-wait-wait!" He began shaking his head rapidly left to right too then holding onto the female paw with concern "what happen to your original owner?! She didn't abandon you did she or tossed you out onto the streets like the human she is?!" Meowth then yelped when Meowzy swiped her paw away from the male with a huff. Too then forcing him to start walking backwards when she began growling and shouting at him for accusing her original trainer or owner will ever do something like that to her and even began getting on top of the Meowth.
Who is holding one arm over his face in defense scared out of his wits of Meowzy using her fury swipes, or scratch attack on him as she then began stabbing and poking him in the chest with one claw. Stating how he shouldn't judge or think that every trainer will be like that. Though she had to take a breather and sighing out "meow...meow nya", she stated with a defeated look saying how a freak like him wouldn't probably understand.
Causing Meowth to lightly whimpered and whined out, feeling his heart being crushed and braking apart from the female he fell in love with two years ago. Calling him once more a freak of a Pokemon "oh...oh my heart...she aches every time you call me a freak..." whimpered the cat, to which Meowzy who opened her one eye lightly. Sighs and blew some air up into her whiskers silently apologizing too the male Pokemon, while saying how it was rude of her to say such a thing.
Getting Meowth to brighten up and eye smiled "oh...OH it's quite alright, yeah it's uh", he then chuckled lightly while scratching the side of his cheek "hurtful but hey what can I do right? Anyway you keep looking up at the twerp and the old lady? Something you want to know?" asks the male Pokemon unaware of Jessie and James calling out for him or wondering where he is.
Meowzy who look down at him when he asks why she kept looking at Ash and the old hag. Had her to look up at them once more and then back down too him, beginning to ask him what is going on and why is it that Ash and the lady are arguing. Too even asking why it is she seems to know Lucario a lot and going out of her way of discriminating or calling her horrible names?
"Oh the reason behind that is because she used to know that there Lucario two years ago, she blackmailed her back at her original trainers restaurant. Too hopefully force them to getting rid of her and having the Pokemon abandon by her trainer, to which then she would have an easier time to sabotaging and destroying their property! In hopes that getting them to go bankrupt or possibly lose enough money by spending so much on resupplying their utensils, kitchen wares and the likes to not meet their deadline." Meowth then grins widely and spread his arms out unaware that he is spilling the beans to everyone who is right there.
Listening in on his voice and speaking towards Meowzy, in which had Lopunny chanting out towards Ash to quiet down or getting his attention. Too which Gardevoir went ahead of doing so for the normal type, by using her psychic powers to silence him and the old lady: to then Lucario who blinked her eyes and felt the force of Gardevoir's energy turning their attention down to the shocked Meowzy as Meowth goes and tells her why it is Ash and the owner of this restaurant are arguing.
What made this even more golden is that Susan and her family , along with what appears to be a very formal wearing Officer Jenny from the Police depot with a middle-aged man who seems to be carrying official and important looking papers as well folders for the property of Susan's family were trying to save also arriving, just in time to be hearing the cat literally letting the cat out of the bag.
"Too which us Team Rocket agrees to helping her finishing the job she left those years ago, in return of her fixing and repairing our Gyarados submarine if we went and made sure they go out of business for good!" Meowth then chuckled sheepishly "although if I knew you were with the twerp and the girl's family, I would have never gone and mess things up for everyone by throwing banana peels on his Pokemon too then tripping the girl up, while breaking their chairs they set...up...uhhm..." Meowth then realized how quiet everybody were being to which had him began looking around. Noticing the frantic and panic like expressions Jessie, James and even the old hag were having on their faces.
Too then looking over towards his right at the many disgusted and scowling looks the customers were having, to even getting what appears to be hating glares from the twerp, the twerpette and even her parents too even getting scary scowls from the twerps Pokemon, too which they were growling deeply in their throats when they were looking at him "uh-oh...something tells me I just goofed..." whimpered the cat while being forcefully grab around the neck by Jessie then began thrashing him about like a rag-doll.
"OH YOU THINK YOU AND THAT STUPID MOUTH OF YOURS JUST WENT AND RUIN EVERYTHING!" Jessie screamed at the feline, with James stomping his foot as pumping his arms. Shaking a fist towards the cat and saying how to blow their cover like that.
"You stupid cat why would you go and tell that dirty little Pokemon about my plans! Now I'll never be able to go and scaring off others who tries to dare step their boundaries over my property!" The old hag then flinched and shook when she heard Jenny announcing herself.
"Your property?! Last time I recalled and going over with the builders director boards committee that the family who is currently living here and running a business is actually their property and land." The officer announced with the man next to her nodding with a stern look in his eyes, while then giving the officer the papers causing the hag who is wide-eyed and mouth gaping began turning quite pale as she watches Jenny moving the property rights and sign papers forward "but that does and has solve the biggest mystery of there being fowl play around here over the years. Thanks to you spilling the beans I have everything I need to put you under-arrest, along with the rest of you who are working for her!" Jenny went to say as everyone who were busy paying attention towards her and the man.
Went to look over at Team Rocket only for them to be nowhere in sight causing Jenny to blink her eyes "what the hell...? Where?" Too which she then heard Ash growling and crossing his arm in frustration.
"If there is one thing Team Rocket is good at, it's running away when there is trouble facing them and not the other way around." Ash grumbled out lightly and then smiled brightly down towards Meowzy who looked up at the boy confusingly then purred happily when he bent down and began petting her head "that was amazing Meowzy, how were you able to get Meowth to spill the beans!" Ash laughed with a smile as the other girls and Pikachu chanted out the same thing, asking how she was able to getting the male to speak and telling her of the plans.
Too then having all the Pokemon laughing and busting a gut when she just giggled with a shrug of her shoulders saying how she just asked him why Ash and the old hag were yelling at one another, too which he began speaking and telling her everything that has been happening. Though Ash isn't sure what it is that's funny or how she got the Meowth to tell her the truth? Has a good feeling that it was probably something very basic that had them all laughing.

After it was said and done along with Officer Jenny finally getting the needed evidence to arrest the resisting old hag. Going through all the crimes she had committed or done over the past 50 years of her life here on the beach side, too which the old lady thrashed and shouted out how this is her land, her home!
Going on and on blabbering how it is her rightful land that her ancestors and generations of family lineage over the years. In which Jenny just opened and closing her mouth as sarcastically saying yeah over and over as she shoves, pushes and puts the cuffs on the old lady too then placing her inside the police car.
While the man at the borrow who works at the building inc department and one who looks over properties that people own. Went ahead and began speaking to Susan and her family about how it took him a while to find the paper work, but work diligently too finding the deed to their home along with looking up exactly who own the land and plot on the beach side. Then smiling happily when a small key-chain looking Pokemon flew up off from his belt, to then happily rattling in front of everyone even Ash who was amazed at the sight of the Pokemon! Asking who it was and what it's name, to which he responded back by saying Klefki, although sadly for Ash his Pokedex couldn't read the data or information about the Pokemon stating how the information cannot be found.
Making the boy wonder if there was something wrong with it? But get's assured that it just needed to be updated in the near future, and went ahead discussing things with the family about ownership. Congratulating them all the usual to saying how they are now the rightful owners and landlord of the land near the coast side and streets.
As we now see our Hero near the route leading onto the next city standing in front of the exit with Lucario and Susan standing in front of another "are you sure about wanting Lucario to continue traveling with me?" Asks Ash as he nervously rubbing and scratches the back of his head "sure that she would..."
"And what take her away from having an amazing adventure?!" Susan playfully scoffed while then rubbing a fist into Ash's head in a headlock "come on kid I think she deserves to be with you more than I, besides", she then lets go of Ash and laughs when Lucario during that excitement including Pikachu and Buneary. All pounced and snuggle against the boy "seeing how happy and healthy she is with you Ash? No way she will be happy about staying with me and my family, besides", she then waved a hand up and down "she is a fighter and the only way a fighter is going to get strong is by traveling the world." The girl then leans down on one knee whistling lightly towards the female Pokemon, who happily hops off from Ash by lifting both legs into the air and playfully sat herself down in front of Susan. "Carla...I am glad to have reunited with you, I was so worried about how upset or sad you might have been when my parents sent you away." She informed the girl while gently resting a hand on Lucario's cheek, hiccuping lightly as she felt hot tears beginning to swell in her eyes.
"Though seeing you with Ash and how much fun you were having and how happy you were with him and the other Pokemon..." The girl sniffed while lifting her head up from hanging it low, smiling brightly with fresh tears staining her cheeks "I-I don't want to take that away from you nor will it make me a good person to suddenly and selfishly ask you to come back and live with me again. So please...please I know you forgiven my parents, but can you ever forgive me for not trying my best in keeping you." The girl hiccuped and beginning to feel her emotions breaking down her walls.
To which Lucario soften her eyes and while tilting her head towards the right a bit, then shuffles forward wrapping both arms around the girl, pulling her close into her body and nuzzled her face against her neck "Cario...car" she barked saying that she was always forgiven and is happy for the girl's choice to which Susan couldn't help but wrap her arms around Lucario quickly, already beginning to cry and whining out of how a great Pokemon she is and that she is glad her and Carla will forever be friends!
Once they pulled back and Lucario giving a light lick to the girl's face, Susan couldn't help but giggle and gently pets Carla's head with a smile "now promise me from here on out Carla, you be the best fighting/steel type Ash has ever seen! Defeat strong opponents and help him, Pikachu and the rest of your friends to becoming a Pokemon master!" She claimed while standing up with the blue canine Pokemon who sniffled and gently rubs her eye with a firm nod, too then shoulder slapping with Susan.
Another exciting adventure and reuniting with trainers of old. Ash and his Pokemon said their goodbyes too the girl while waving towards her from the distance, happy to hear and understand why it is she had giving Lucario to Professor like that while also learning Lucario, or Carla. Had no animosity or hate for her original trainer, heck even her family for sending her away. Showing great maturity throughout their encounters today and thanks to Meowzy somehow getting Meowth to spill the beans, they had the family fully learning and understanding just how devious their rival was and begged Carla for forgiveness only to be assured from her with nervousness that she had forgiven them ever since the beginning of spending time with them.
"You know Lucario you are one cool Pokemon", Ash smiled down at her in which had the girl beaming with pride and began to stepping forward with stride "that was very mature of what you did. No doubt Susan and her family will remember your generosity girl." Which she laughed when he petted her head and then swung his arm forward with a pointed finger "alright everyone let's keep going and show that we will become strong and grow from everything we have experienced! Onward to Saffron city!" Ash cheered with Pikachu, Buneary and Lucario as they all leap into the air and began running down the road leading them too a port town that will have a boat that will lead them to another part of the Kanto region! As our hero's journey continues!
