Haru, Jessie and James were finally ready to go to Ecruteak city and gets Haru 3rd Gym badges, as Whitney said bye to Jessie and James and kissed Haru goodbye, they started to walk to Ecruteak but with them was fourth member,

It was girl, she is has purple hair, fair sky, purple eyes, she looked like a typical Baseball fan, as she was following the group

[ Insert image of Casey here ]

How did they meet her, if was in the Bug catching competition, the group also meets ahs again, two days after what Haru it was awkward evening, ash won the competition, as for why they girl was following them, will one reason she was a fan of Yellow and Black Pokémon because of her Favourite base all team the Electivire squad and will Have had Electivire, this girl wouldn't stop following them.

Haru just looked at her. "What is your problem, i get your an fan of Yellow and black Pokémon, and are a gym trainer, but this is ridiculous, there is 10 gyms in Johto".

Haru felt like this was universal punishment for what he said do ash.

As the group walked toward Ecruteak City, the incessant following of Casey was starting to get under Haru's skin. He had tried to ignore her at first, but the more she kept pace with them, the more it began to feel like she was some sort of shadow—always there, just a few steps behind. The fact that she was so obsessed with yellow and black Pokémon, specifically Electivire, only seemed to fuel her determination.

"Casey, I get that you're a huge fan of Electivire, but there are other Pokémon trainers out here in Johto who aren't obsessed with yellow and black. Seriously, you're following us across the whole region!" Haru muttered under his breath, trying to keep his frustration in check.

Casey, her purple hair swaying in the wind as she jogged to keep up with the group, smiled brightly. "Oh, I know! I just couldn't help it. I've always wanted to meet a trainer like you! You're the real deal! I've heard about you on the news, and when I saw you in the Bug Catching Contest, I knew I had to follow you!"

Haru just shook his head. "Look, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I didn't come all the way out here to be some tour guide for Electivire fans. Besides, I've got my own gym badges to collect. You don't need to follow me around for that."

Jessie, walking beside Haru with her arms crossed, chimed in sarcastically, "Oh come on, Haru. I'm sure Casey is just trying to show some respect. Let her have her moment. She's harmless."

James, as usual, stayed quiet but gave Casey a thumbs-up as a sign of approval.

Casey's eyes brightened at Jessie's words. "You're right! I just want to see the best trainers in action and maybe challenge you sometime in the future!" She practically bounced on her feet, eyes sparkling. "And I'll be rooting for you, Haru! Maybe you'll be the one to take down the Electivire squad!"

Haru gave a small sigh, unable to suppress a grin. "Alright, alright. If you're so keen on following me, fine. But just know, I'm not going to stop every five minutes to explain what I'm doing. You'll have to keep up."

With that, the group continued their journey toward Ecruteak, now with an unlikely fourth member tagging along. It was clear that Casey wasn't going anywhere, and whether Haru liked it or not, he was going to have to tolerate her fan enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, back at the outskirts of Goldenrod City, Ash was still trying to figure out what his next move should be. After the awkward exchange with Haru the other day, he couldn't help but feel a little off. He wanted to prove that he was more than just a kid who got lucky with his Pokémon. He was determined to keep pushing forward, but sometimes, doubts crept in.

With Pikachu at his side, Ash made his way toward Ecruteak as well, a little quieter than usual. He knew that there would be challenges waiting for him, but he was ready for them. If he could face Haru's harsh words and still get back on track, he could do anything. He had to. After all, becoming the best required more than just winning—it was about learning, growing, and improving every single day.

Back on the road, Haru was focused on the journey ahead. The trek toward Ecruteak would take them through some tough terrain, but with Casey sticking around, at least it wouldn't be boring. Still, there was a part of him that couldn't shake the feeling of unfinished business with Ash. That one comment—comparing himself to Red—had struck a nerve. Haru knew what it meant to be the best. He knew what it took to climb to the top. But did Ash truly understand that? Could he make it?

"Well, we'll see how things play out," Haru thought to himself, eyes narrowing slightly. "Ecruteak City will be the next step. And after that, who knows what's waiting."

As the group approached Ecruteak, they couldn't help but feel the weight of the city's history. The ancient city was home to two legendary Pokémon, and it was rumored that the trainers who succeeded here were destined for greatness. But for now, Haru had a badge to win.

As then the squad of 4 heard something, it was an helicopter as on it was a woman who seemed just like Jessie, but she was wearing a dress and a her hair was more stylish.

[ Insert image of Jessebelle ]

The group watched as Jessebelle, with her stylish hair and elegant dress, slowly descended from the helicopter, her eyes narrowed in determination. James, Jessie, and Meowth instantly recoiled, their faces filled with dread.

"It's Jessebelle!" they all yelled in unison, their voices tinged with panic.

Haru and Casey, however, were confused. Both of them looked at the scene with puzzled expressions, not understanding the full context.

Haru raised an eyebrow and glanced at James. "So, who is she?"

James sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping in resignation. "She's my fiancée. Or at least, she was supposed to be. I don't want to marry her, so I ran away from my rich family. Now she's been chasing me all over the region to try and drag me back."

Haru blinked. "So, what does she want from you, exactly?"

"To marry me," James grumbled, his voice dripping with frustration. "She's obsessed with me. And my family is just as bad—they only care about status. I don't care about that. I just want to live my life free from all this."

Haru nodded, taking in the information, but his curiosity wasn't fully satisfied. He turned his gaze to Jessie. "So by any chance, are you two related?"

Jessie immediately shook her head vigorously. "No way! We're not related in any way, shape, or form. I don't even know how James ended up with her," Jessie said, glaring at Jessebelle, who had just landed gracefully on the ground.

Casey, still looking confused, spoke up. "Wait... if she's your fiancée, James, why does she look like Jessie? Are they... like... long-lost twins or something?"

James looked equally bewildered. "Trust me, I've wondered that myself. She's got the looks, but her attitude's nothing like Jessie's. She's everything I ran away from!"

Haru turned to James and gave him a sly grin. "So, do you care if I take care of her for you?"

James looked almost relieved. "Honestly, I'd be fine with that. Just don't kill her, alright?"

With a mischievous smirk, Haru nodded. "Don't worry, I'll just give her a taste of what we go through when dealing with Team Rocket."

He reached for his Pokéballs, and within seconds, Marshtomp and Electivire appeared at his side. "Marshtomp, Water Gun! Electivire, Thunderbolt!"

Both Pokémon acted swiftly. Marshtomp shot a powerful blast of water from its mouth, knocking Jessebelle back a few steps, while Electivire unleashed a crackling Thunderbolt, sending a surge of electricity through the air and hitting Jessebelle square in the chest.

With a scream, Jessebelle was sent flying backward into the air, her body spinning uncontrollably before she crashed into the ground, where she lay in a heap, visibly shocked but still conscious.

Meowth, watching the whole thing unfold, blinked in shock. "So that's what it looks like from the other side? Do we really just go flying like that every time we get blasted off?"

Jessie, watching her doppelgänger struggle to get back up, sighed with relief. "At least this time, it's not us being launched across the sky for once."

Haru dusted his hands off, clearly satisfied with the results. "There. That should give her a little reminder of who's in charge."

Casey, looking impressed, nodded her approval. "That was awesome! I didn't think you'd take her out like that so fast."

James, still a bit shocked but grateful, gave Haru a thankful smile. "I can't believe you did that... but... I appreciate it. You've really helped me out."

Jessie rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the slight smile tugging at her lips. "You're welcome, I guess. But next time, don't drag us into your family drama, okay?"

Haru chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't make a habit of it."

As Jessebelle groggily got to her feet, she glared at them, fuming with anger. "This isn't over! I'll get you, James! You'll come back to me, no matter what it takes!"

With that, she hopped back into her helicopter, flying off into the distance.

Haru looked at the group and shrugged. "Well, that was fun. Now, back to the journey. Ecruteak City awaits."

The group continued on their way, with Casey still trailing along, eager to see what would happen next. It was shaping up to be an interesting road ahead, and with their spirits lifted after dealing with Jessebelle, they felt ready for whatever came next on their path to Ecruteak.

As the group continued their journey toward Ecruteak City, they suddenly found their path blocked by none other than Butch and Cassidy, two notorious members of Team Rocket. Haru, feeling a little exasperated, sighed and looked at them with an almost bored expression.

"How many more random roadblocks are we going to get today?" Haru muttered, clearly unimpressed by the appearance of yet another Team Rocket duo. "Electivire, go nuts. I'm not dealing with this. I'll just call Officer Jenny."

Electivire, as if on cue, let out a loud, enthusiastic roar, electricity crackling around its body as it prepared to unleash a massive Thunderbolt. Butch and Cassidy were momentarily stunned by the sheer intensity of Electivire's power.

Before either of them could react, Haru whipped out his PokeNav and quickly dialed Officer Jenny. "Yeah, we've got two more Rocket members causing trouble. You know the drill," he said nonchalantly, making it clear that he was done with the encounter.

Two minutes later, the familiar sound of sirens blared in the distance, signaling Officer Jenny's arrival. She quickly pulled up in her patrol car, jumping out with a stern expression on her face as she immediately apprehended Butch and Cassidy, who were still dazed from Electivire's attack.

"Alright, you two," Officer Jenny said, her voice firm as she cuffed them. "You're under arrest for attempted theft and disrupting public peace. You'll be spending the night in jail, so think about your actions."

Butch grumbled, still trying to struggle free, while Cassidy shot daggers at Haru. "You won't get away with this! Team Rocket always has a plan!"

Haru simply shrugged, clearly not bothered. "Yeah, sure, we've heard that before."

With Butch and Cassidy taken away, Officer Jenny turned to Haru and the group. "Thanks for the help, as always. I'll make sure they get locked up properly this time. No escaping for them."

As Officer Jenny drove off with the two Team Rocket members in tow, James couldn't help but comment on the situation. "You know, this is the first time I've actually seen a Team Rocket member get captured. Usually, we're the ones getting blasted off."

Haru chuckled, shaking his head. "Probably because when you three were Rocket members, you always got blasted off into the stratosphere. It's hard for Team Rocket to get anything done when they're constantly sent flying."

Jessie gave a playful eye-roll, but even she couldn't argue with that fact. "At least this time, it wasn't us getting thrown into the sky for a change."

Casey, who had been watching the entire exchange with wide eyes, finally spoke up. "I still can't believe you guys actually know Team Rocket. That was insane!"

Haru smiled. "It's just another day in the life of a trainer. But for now, let's get moving. Ecruteak City isn't going to get any closer if we stand around here all day."

With that, the group continued their journey, no longer deterred by the brief interruption. The road to Ecruteak City awaited, and they were eager to get there and face whatever new challenges lay ahead.
