''Overcoming The Clashing Tides'' is a ''Pokémon'' Anime/Special {{crossover}} fanfiction by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/2656579/ DemigodWitch96]].

The story begins with Ariana, one of Team Rocket's admins proposing an alliance with all of the crime syndicates except Team Plasma. They all accept and Ariana quickly orders the kidnapping of six children of the Dex Holders. Too bad they never saw a group of interfering kids rescuing them coming...
