Pokemon: Ace's Adventures!

Ace and Officer Jenny soared through the sky on Fearow's back, the cool wind rushing against their faces as they closed in on the massive airship. Just behind them, Ash and Gary followed closely on Ash's Pidgeot. The tension in the air was thick as the ship loomed ahead, its dark metallic exterior giving off an ominous presence.

Ace narrowed his eyes. "Fearow, use Tri Attack to open a hole in the airship!" he commanded.

Fearow cawed and unleashed a tri-colored beam of red, blue, and yellow energy toward the ship. Just as the attack was about to hit, the doors of the airship suddenly slid open, revealing a massive Salamence inside.

A powerful Flamethrower erupted from its jaws, clashing with the Tri Attack and neutralizing it mid-air.

"Tch!" Ace clicked his tongue. 'They were prepared for this? Damn it!'

Fearow and Pidgeot flapped their wings rapidly, halting in the air as Salamence shot out of the airship, its large wings slicing through the wind. Riding on its back was none other than Hunter J, her cold, calculating eyes scanning them as she smirked.

"So, you're the pests causing trouble for me," Hunter J said, her voice dripping with condescension. She glanced at Jenny. "I see you managed to escape my little trap. How unfortunate."

Jenny scoffed, her grip tightening on Fearow. "This is the day you finally get captured, Hunter J! Your crimes end here!"

Hunter J let out a short chuckle. "You're not the first to say that. And guess what? None have succeeded."

Ace frowned. 'She's so damn confident. But that's because no one's ever given her a real fight!'

He didn't want to waste any more time talking. "Fearow, use Tailwind!"

Fearow let out a sharp cry, flapping its wings with powerful force. The wind around them intensified, boosting the speed of both Fearow and Pidgeot.

Ace locked eyes with Gary and subtly gestured toward the ship. Gary immediately understood, leaning toward Ash and whispering a plan into his ear.

Ace focused back on the battle. "Fearow, use Steel Wing!"

Fearow's wings gleamed with metallic energy as it shot toward Salamence like a bullet.

Hunter J remained calm. "Dragon Claw."

Salamence's claws glowed green as it swiped at Fearow. The two attacks collided mid-air, sending out a shockwave that pushed Fearow back slightly. Ace and Jenny gritted their teeth, holding tightly to Fearow's back.

"Fearow, use Toxic!" Ace ordered.

Fearow opened its beak and released a stream of purple, venomous sludge.

Salamence let out a grunt of discomfort as the poison seeped into its body, its breathing already becoming slightly uneven.

Hunter J scowled before pulling out her high-tech capture gun. Ace's eyes widened.

'Not a chance, lady!'

Before she could fire, a small blur shot out from under Ace's jacket—Smeargle.

With a quick movement, Smeargle used Thief, snatching the gun right out of Hunter J's hands.

"What?!" Hunter J snarled.

Smeargle flipped in the air, tossing the gun back to Ace.

Ace smirked. "Not today." He crushed the gun into two with his bare hands.

Hunter J's face twisted with rage. "You little brat!"

She swiftly threw out two more Poké Balls. A Hydreigon and Garchomp appeared, both roaring as they took their positions beside Salamence.

Ace's eyes widened slightly. "Of course she has a stacked team…"

Smeargle growled, its body beginning to glow. The rainbow aura of Overdrive Mode flared around it.

Jenny acted quickly, sending out her Skarmory. She leaped from Fearow onto Skarmory's back. "We need to take down Salamence fast! It's her strongest!"

"Agreed," Ace said. "Fearow, use Aerial Ace!"

Fearow shot forward at blinding speed, striking Salamence hard, but the dragon only grunted in response.

"Thunder Fang," Hunter J ordered.

Salamence's mouth crackled with electricity as it lunged at Fearow.

"Dodge it!" Ace called.

Fearow barely evaded, and Ace countered immediately. "Tri Attack!"

Salamence reared back, preparing another attack, but then—

It flinched. The poison had taken effect.

Ace smirked. "Perfect!"

Tri Attack slammed into Salamence's face, but as the dust settled, the dragon was still standing strong.

Hunter J sneered. "Did you really think that was gonna do anything?"

Ace gritted his teeth.

Meanwhile, down on the ground…

Serena's Rhyhorn charged forward. "Bulldoze!"

The ground trembled as Rhyhorn struck, sending multiple of the poachers' Pokémon flying.

"Fennekin, Flamethrower!"

Fennekin inhaled deeply before unleashing a stream of fire, blasting two incoming Pidgeotto out of the sky.

Dawn's Piplup spun as it launched a Whirlpool, trapping several Pokémon. "Growlithe, Fire Spin!"

The swirling flames of Fire Spin combined with Whirlpool, creating a deadly combo that overwhelmed the grunts' Pokémon.

May smirked. "Torchic, Flame Charge!"

Torchic's body became cloaked in fire as it dashed forward, slamming into multiple foes.

"Meowth, Assurance!"

Meowth leaped into action, striking a group of Zubat already weakened by Fire Spin. The attack doubled in power, knocking them out instantly.

Misty's Starmie and Staryu spun in mid-air. "Water Gun!"

Powerful streams of water blasted into the enemy ranks, knocking out Pokémon left and right.

Brock's Onix wrapped itself around several Pokémon, squeezing them in a Bind, while Geodude finished them with Mega Punch.

The poachers were struggling. Between the ancient Pokémon and the relentless attacks from Brock and the girls, they were quickly being overpowered.

Meanwhile, Smeargle was dodging for its life.

Garchomp's Dragon Rush barely missed as Smeargle flipped backward, only to be met with a Dragon Pulse from Hydreigon.

Smeargle barely dodged in time using quick attack, before retaliating with Dazzling Gleam, making both dragons flinch in discomfort.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Smeargle trembled—an Earthquake attack!

The attack struck, but Smeargle gritted its teeth and used Recover, healing its injuries instantly.

Its rainbow aura intensified as it prepared Stored Power. The powerful psychic energy combined with its boosted stats caused a massive explosion of energy, sending both dragon Pokémon crashing into the ground, slightly injured.

Meanwhile, Ash and Gary finally reached the ship's other side.

"Pikachu, Iron Tail!"

Pikachu's tail glowed silver as it slammed into the ship's wall, creating a large hole.

Ash and Gary slipped inside.

Gary looked at Ash. "Step one: Free the captured Pokémon. Step two: Blow this ship to hell."

Ash nodded. "Let's do this!"

The sound of battle raged on outside as they ventured deeper into the airship.
